Do you make the clothes in the UK or overseas?

I'm US-based so UK would be overseas!

Almost all of the clothes are made in China, except shirts and hats which are printed/embroidered in the US. If you check any item's description in the shop, it'll list where it's from.

You've known ollie for a long time. So long in fact you can't even remember when. You've two whenever you've been together had been inseparable which made it all the harder when you couldn't see eachother due to his Karting but alas your friend ship survived and you two, not having talked in person for a very long time, are still really good friends.

"Please come on we haven't seen eachother in forever it would be nice to hang out!" Ollie partially begged on the phone. He was trying to get you to come to the Great Britain Grand Prix more commonly referred to as Silverstone.

"I don't know Ollie..." You said I mean with travel expenses you really didn't want to..

"Pleaseeeee? I'll cover all the travel" he said trying his hardest to get you to agree

Welp there goes your only excuse "fine.." you said giving in

"Thank you you're the best" you could hear the smile in his voice as he talked. The conversation continued touching random topics before you declared it to late and said your good byes.

──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──

You finally touched down in the UK. You grabbed your bags and made your way to the exit. Ollie while wanting to pick you up from the airport was pulled into a meeting to go over his times so he was super apologetic. You of course told him it was fine and that you can just get an Uber to your hotel. That of course is what you did.

Arriving at your hotel you checked in and threw all your stuffs in your room. Jet lagged from the flight you decide just to take a shower and head to bed as it was late anyways due to flight delays.

You peeled the airport clothes off of you throwing them on the bathroom floor before stepping into the warm water falling from the shower head. The hotel actually had decent water pressure.

Stepping out of the shower you wrapped yourself in the towel smoothly applying your hair products. You pat your hair dry opting to let it air dry the rest of the way. You quickly got dressed in some comfortable pj's. Sitting in the hotel chair as you grabbed your phone to text Ollie,

You: just letting you know I'm in the hotel and gonna head to bed

Ollie: okay

Ollie: ill pick you up tomorrow

Ollie: sorry again about not bing able to pick you up :(((

You: Ollie it's fine!!!

You: you were busy it's okay!!!

Ollie: okay

Ollie: I still feel bad :((

You: don't.

You: problem solved

Ollie: :D

You: good night Ollie

Ollie: night!

──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──

Your alarm blared again in your ear. Annoyed you shut it off glancing at the time. Begrudgingly you got up and slowly got dressed and got ready looking in the mirror you fixed your hair. As you finished your phone rang, picking it up you looked at the caller ID: Ollie, you answered

"Hey what's up?" You asked

"Hey goodmorning" he said "I'm pulling up to your hotel now if your ready?"

You grabbed your bag and stuffed your wallet in it "yeah I'm ready I'm heading down now" you said "just got finished"

"Alright see you soon" he said happily as he hung up.

You shut the door to your hotel room behind you it clicking shut and checked to make sure it's locked. Satisfied you went over and took the hotel down.

Exiting the elevator you immediately spotted the tall brit.

"Ollie!" You called

He looked your direction looking for the voice. Almost instantly spotting you a smile spread crossed his face. "Ahh there you are" he said.

"Hey ollie" you smiled walking up to him

"Hey" he said "let's go before we get swarmed" he said with his poor disguise: sunglasses

"You mean you get swarmed" you said as you made your way to the exit "Mr hot shot formula one driver" you joked

He chuckled "well how does it feel to be the best friend of the hotshot f1 driver" He asked pretending to be an interviewer.

You smiled letting out a small laugh as he opened the door to the car

"Ever so the gentleman Mr bear" you smiled

"If my mom found out I didn't behave like this she would kill me" Ollie joked before he got in the car shutting the door and starting it up "I swear youre her favorite child" he joked

──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──

Arriving at the paddock you both got out of the car smoothing out our clothes after shutting the door Ollie handed you a pass.

"There you are" he smiled "it's a ferrari pass cause you know me being reserve and all" he said "I wish you would come to one of my prema races though" he pouted

"Firstly: thanks" you said "and secondly you know my classes over lap with your races plus I wouldn't be able to properly hang out with you if it was an actual race weekend"

"Okay good point" he smiled as you both made your way to the entrance, "oh I know you know but there gonna be a bunch of cameras just ignore them and there'll be a bunch of fans so I'm gonna stop and sign some things"

You nodded as he scanned his pass letting him inside you quickly did the same.

Ollie quickly went to the side taking some pictures with fans and signing some items you stood off to the side waiting for him to finish as he waved good bye to the fans he walked towards the wall of camerasbefore following the path and flow of people, you were quick to follow him.

"Hey man slow down I'm not as tall as you" you complained

"Sorry mate" he chuckled "i just want to introduce you to my friend he's probably in the Mercedes hospitality..." Ollie trailed off as he looked around. As he looked around he took off in a direction. At his sudden take off you followed him quickly weaving through the people.

Finally you caught up to him, he was talking to another guy, a cute guy, dressed in Mercedes gear with curly Brown hair.

"Ah there you are" Ollie smiled wrapping his arm around your shoulder. "Kimi this is my friend, y/n I've told you about her" Ollie smiled looking over at Kimi.

He stood there almost speechless for a moment before shaking his you could only assume to organize his thoughts, he then turned partially to ollie talking in a hushed tone that you could still hear "Ollie, non mi avevi detto che era bellissima, (Ollie you didn't tell me she was beautiful)"

Ollie chuckled, he picked up on a bit of Italian he wasn't to keen on speaking but he knew what was being said, "dude chill she's like a sister"

"Lo so, lo so, ma sono solo...(I know I know but I'm just...)" he trailed off as he looked up at you, you wouldn't describe it as staring more like enamored

"..incantato? (..enchanted?)" You asked as you watched kimi's face heat up he became so red in just a few seconds

"Io uhhh- umm scusa- cioè dovrei scusarmi- Uhh non voglio sembrare inquietante- (I uhhh- umm sorry- I mean i should apologize- Uhh I don't want to come off as creepy-)" Kimi stumbled over word after word trying to apologize to you.

You just smiled "non preoccuparti, penso che sia stato carino, proprio come te (don't worry I think it was cute, just like you)"

Smooth real smooth.

His face became somehow every more red. Ollie spoke up "I feel like I'm interrupting something..." he said looking between you two

"No don't worry Ollie not interrupting anything" you smiled "right Kimi?" You asked the Italian who is still trying to gather his thoughts

"Oh sí, non interrompo nulla...(oh yeah, not interrupting anything...)" kimi said

──⭒─⭑─⭒────⭒─⭑─⭒──

You were just sitting in a semi secluded area in the paddock. Ollie had disappeared long ago probably chatting with kimi. Or that's what you thought before the Italian appeared in front of you.

"Hey um Y/n" he said shyly avoiding eye contact at seemingly all costs.

"What's up kimi?" You asked

"I just wanted to apologize for earlier, I didn't know you knew Italian and that's not an excuse I just shouldn't have said that and-" kimi started rambling

"Kimi" you said snapping him out of his own thoughts

He finally looked at you "yeah..?" He asked

"Have a seat" you said motioning to the seat across from you. He obliged sitting down quietly.

"I wanna say again-" kimi started again

"Kimi" you cut him off "it's fine" you smiled "I never said I was uncomfortable with it in fact I said that it was cute" his face started to heat up again

"I uhh umm" he cleared his throat embarrassed and blushing

"So wanna go for a date?" You asked nonchalantly

Kimi nearly falls out of his chair "I uh what!?" He asked

"Oh sorry did I read the room wrong-" you started

"No no, no!" He said quickly trying to recompose himself "I meant, yes i would love to go on a date with you" he smiled

"Great give me your phone" you said, he quickly handed it over you punched in your number creating the contact and handing it back to him.

"Okay there you are" you smiled as you got up "well it was great meeting you kimi but I do have to go give me a call or text me so we can schedule our date" you smiled before leaving.

Kimi was kinda stunned, frozen he didn't know what to do or say. Before he heard a familiar voice behind him:

"Oh she's gonna eat you alive" Ollie teased

Kimi almost jumped out of his skin "FUC- wha- how long have you been standing there?!" He asked

"Long enough." Ollie chuckled "yeah you probably won't last the date with her" he joked making kimi huff in annoyance, Ollie just smiled before resting a hand on kimis shoulder leaning to his ear "but if you hurt her I will not hesitate to shunt you into the wall next race."

"Noted...." kimi nodded

[bambi-kinos]

A few more questions about our mysterious Paul, or more like his mind and his views. I know you get many asks and if you already answered this, just post a link (You might even be Paul j/k )but I do enjoy reading your thoughts) Ok so what do you think he means when he talks about John and their relationship was like. When he says things like he's so obviously straight because of all the girls he's had, John wasn't gay, or that if he was a girl maybe he could go out and do something about John being with Yoko, "in bed" etc. Or John. (Don't think he had lots of gay phobia too despite what "they" seem to think now. Or what George, Ringo or any one of his age would think about it. Obviously Paul and John too Don't seem too clear what they where. Still never really heard anyone else talk the way they do about partnership if there wasn't some love happening. Also did Liverpool men that time really lived that tough, not hugging each other. Wasn't it a bit known for a gay town? Or is that maybe later) sorry for spellings and grammar typing stuff my phone isn't used to. Lol Hope you understand my ask. Love your posts.

I'm given to understand that men from the Northern half of the UK are actually very affectionate with each other. Lots of back slapping and chuffing and affectionate punching and so forth. @scurator has talked about it a bit and is a better source than I could ever be. But the evidence points towards Northern men actually being very chummy and expressive with each other, especially Liverpool. Sailors are passionate by definition, of course the quintessential international sailors' town will be like that too. It is Paul's specific personality defects that have him saying bonkers shit like "we didn't show each other physical affection" while there are photographs of Paul and John pressing together, bumping shoulders, clapping each other on the back, etc. Which are all typical guy-things that men do to signal "I care about you, you're important to me" to each other. Paul would lose nothing by admitting this when the evidence is clear in front of our eyes. But Paul is Paul, so he can't.

When it comes to Liverpool being a "gay town" what that really means is that Liverpool is a port city with a high population of sailors. Houston Texas, where I grew up, is the exact same way. It's a hive of international traffic with thousands of dock workers and sailors running the joint. Sometimes I used to go down to the port to watch them load and unload shipping containers. There are look outs where you can sit with a pair of binoculars and just watch them go. Liverpool has the same set up with the same population of international sailors running around. It isn't necessarily a "gay town" so much as it is a horny as fuck town that is exploding with vibrant international populations all with different ideas about what is sexually permissible and what is not. Lots of sexual openness and promiscuity that is out of step with the rest of the country, vibrant LGBT+ population despite the curtain of conservatism that strangles the rest of the region, very intense artsy culture that lives cheek to jowl with a macho blue collar population...

Now am I talking about Liverpool or Houston? Lmao. Let me put it this way, sailors will fuck anything that stands still long enough and that culture of sexual adventurousness rubs off on the people who build their lives around the international port industry. Paul and John grew up with that too. And if you're thinking that might screw with your head a little when you grow up being filled with all sorts of malicious lies about sex and relationships...oh boy does it.

When it comes to Paul insisting on heterosexuality regarding him and John: IMO this is a manifestation of his greatest fear, that someone may catch on that he fell in love with another man. I don't think Paul was ever truly ashamed of it when push came to shove but that doesn't mean he wants people to know. It's private and Paul doesn't have a lot of privacy left.

Paul is also sharply aware of how dangerous it is to be gay. Paul knew about men being killed for homosexual activity, he was raised to despise it, he was raised to think there was no future in it, that only monsters and predators were homosexuals, all of that was browbeaten into him by Le Society and most likely his family. Remember that Brian Epstein would regularly get the shit kicked out of him if he propositioned the wrong man and sometimes even the right one. Paul wasn't encouraged to embrace Liverpool's seedy underbelly, that would be lunacy. As far as Paul's family knows he did the proper thing and got a girl pregnant out of wedlock (which must have been a big relief to them.) If he ever indicated that he had romantic feelings towards John then he would be lucky if the worst thing that happened to him was getting kicked out.

(That does not necessarily mean that was the reality of his situation. It's hard to know what Jim would do in that situation and I don't think he was blind. But that was what Paul and John were both raised to expect and that is the soup they boiled in while waiting for adulthood.)

And there are bigger things than just Paul and John's privacy and sexuality going on. There are trillions of dollars at stake when it comes to The Beatles.

So when Paul is professing his heterosexuality, when he's saying John wasn't a homosexual, when Paul leans on his experiences with women in interviews, that is what he is thinking of when he does it. Regardless of whatever actually went down between him and John, he has to protect that image while still projecting authenticity. It doesn't matter if it's actually real because John and Paul learned no one wants the real John and Paul. But he can still use his experiences to color his stories and protect John and himself, as well as the legacy of The Beatles.

And it should end there. Yeah?

Of course it doesn't. Or we wouldn't be here. Paul said bonkers shit about being a woman who could have stepped in between John and Yoko. That he was jealous of her and didn't like having her around. That it was a deep relationship with a lot of heat. That they went through a divorce. And then he eventually caved and start talking about how there was a deeper love between him and John, something neither of them had the understanding or vocabulary to express.

Even in death John has the power to undo Paul completely and force him to be vulnerable. Paul gets going out of nowhere it seems like, starts ranting and has to actively fight himself to make himself shut up. Now that he's older he can't really do that anymore. And probably doesn't want to, hence he randomly inserts anecdotes about John into conversations that have nothing to do with him. John has that effect on everyone he meets, he can demand total honesty from people. Paul isn't immune to that. So Paul will talk more and more honestly about himself and John, that they loved each other. And even if all he owns up to is the platonic aspect of it...well, that's a big deal for Paul.

It's hard to say if things will stay this way. Paul often seems like he's on the verge of saying something, isn't he? In the most recent documentary about the first Ed Sullivan appearance, he underlined John and George being his brothers and that he loved them. But that wasn't what he was saying when Now and Then came out and that wasn't what he showed us when he released Eye of the Storm and printed photos of John undressed and preparing for bed while Paul took photos of him. (Probably while Paul was naked in a bathtub if the cloth fringe over his camera lens was any indication.) Do you remember the furor around Now and Then and how the entire rock journalism industry seemed to be holding its breath for something? There's a reason why @frodolives made that point about "they're gentrifying McLennon."

Yoko will die sooner than later. Sean recently sold the Dakota condo and probably moved her upstate to that farm she bought in 1979/1980 so she could be in care. The diaries Fred Seaman stole and fenced were only partially recovered and there's online chatter that Paul's allies are safeguarding the remaining diaries and other resources that Fred managed to smuggle out under Yoko's nose. Peter Doggett's book "Prisoner of Love," which contains the unifying theory about WHY John stayed in the Dakota for so long, was spiked after advanced readers' copies started going out.

Something has changed behind the scenes and we're feeling the faintest tremors of it. I'm sure that we're only just getting started with regards to revelations to come.

Hi guys so I am making stuff!!

On Etsy!!!

Specifically squishies, and maybe some more grown up things one day...

I sell:

things like Headcrabs, Antlion Grubs, Paws and Hearts.

I WILL sell:

things like Albert Wesker, brains, pumpkins and TF2 Breads!

The image of the headcrab is actually from my only sale so far and I'm really grateful for their absolutely neat photography skills and kind words!!!

It would mean a lot if you could take a look and stay tuned, and maybe buy something if you're interested!

Please let me know if you're interested in anything you can't see in the shop! I'm happy to make it if you're looking to buy it!

Also, sorry I stopped writing, I kinda traded hobbies.

I calculate costs as fairly and cheaply as I can. I'm based in the UK so shipping there should be cheaper. The prices shown are just enough to make up for the resources I spent on the product you buy, and that's only if enough of each product are bought, so buying anything really does me a huge favour! I'll be very grateful!

Edit: Thanks for all the reposts and likes/???? You guys are so cool ily :sob:

[ex0rin]

oh look a distraction from work!

tagged by @jdeanmorgan (thanks! 😘)

10 questions for 10 writers

How many works do you have on AO3?

195, would have been more but i recently orphaned a whole pile of them (sorry if this is the way you're learning of it)

What's your total AO3 word count?

686,289

What fandoms do you write for?

i know i haven't written anything in like two months, but i'm still going to put The Walking Dead since all of my active WIPs are from that one - but like, in general i write whatever i'm into at any given time (prev: The Boys, TFATWS, CA: TWS, Witcher, Watcher Entertainment, general rpf, etc etc)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I SWEAR I TRY i'm just so fucking bad at it, when i'm in an upswing of writing i don't want to stop to reply (which makes me an asshole) and then when i can't get words out i'm just too sad to try and respond to everything... usually once a year (right before @febuwhump i do a full two weeks of JUST responding to as many as i can from the previous year) (so i guess if you haven't heard from me, wait till January 2025 😅)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i have! multiple times. almost ALL rpf from Buzzfeed Unsolved stuff weirdly enough

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

also yes! i think the only one(s) posted are the ones with @ponderosa121 (Gotham, Constantine) but i've done some Very Good and Very Long RP fics with @sparklingbinjuice that one day i'm going to make into actual fics and post

What's your all-time favourite ship?

why do people keep asking me this 😅 if you asked me RIGHT NOW (which is kind of what's happening) i would say neggie (negan x maggie) but this answer is subject to change at the drop of a hat. a month ago it would have been cegan (negan x carl), seven months ago it would have been butchie (butcher x hughie), and before that it was winterbones (rumlow x bucky) or hell, roosmav (rooster x maverick) and so on and so forth

What are your writing strengths?

smut. descriptive smut.

What are your writing weaknesses?

dialogue. jesuschrist i hate writing dialogue (esp for negan, fuck that guy and his tone and innuendo and run on sentences) (affectionate but still annoyed)

First fandom you wrote for?

first posted on AO3 is for NBC Constantine but that's only from 2015 and i've been writing smut since the late 90s 🙃 reader-insert for Star Wars was probably the first thing i ever wrote (before i even really knew what fanfic was tbh) (luke x me babyyyy) but some of the first stuff i published to an audience back in the yahoo groups days would have been the UK queer as folk or... shit, gundam wing probably?

(also, sidenote but tfw you realize charlie hunnam was in the UK QAF on this day of our lord 2024???) (just need a moment while my childhood watching queer as folk collides with my adulthood adoration for pacific rim crash into each other)

okay, anyway, tagging: @sparklingbinjuice @the-ravening @unlikelymilliner @winterbonesthings @duchessonfire @sequencefairy @crushcandles @grianhole @stunt-lads (my tenth @ is whoever would like to participate! you can say i tagged you)

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "Miss Information" Episode Followup, Part 1

Not sure if I ever told anyone, but on the off chance someone is keeping up with the news...remember when Sinking Ship announced a media literacy program aimed at kids with Nicole Stamp (who plays Phyllis on Odd Squad) as the host? That may or may not have aired already because I didn't bother to check?

That's exactly what this episode reminds me of from the title alone. The only problem is that media literacy isn't really a STEM topic.

Either way, I'm not exactly setting my bar high for this one after the bombs that were the last two episodes. Here's hoping this batch can go out with a bang that sounds like "yay, party!" instead of "oh God, pure obliteration".

Below the break.

I'm sorry, I could only understand "tofu" in this sentence, but...did they seriously give my girl fucking euphemisms to utter? It sounds so PBS-Kids-core to me in a way I can't explain that it's almost sickening.

Least she doesn't do it all the time, hehe...heh...h- right? Right?

...Right?

Interestingly, this episode doesn't have a writing credit. Either the American version left it out, it's a mistake across the international board (or perhaps not), or this episode had the entire damn team diving in and it's too much for opening credits.

Having bad writers is one thing. Not crediting your writers is another. Hate on them I do, but I at least respect people taking jobs to earn a living regardless of experience.

"You two are my next contestants on The Exposition Price is Right!"

"Is she being serious?"

Yes! And if neither Orli nor Ozzie appear in this entire episode I'll be dead shocked.

"Not everything has to be about them" indeed.

Laptops have been around for decades, long before Odd Squad premiered.

They decide to make a Director use one in the year 2024, 10 years after I had the idea spinning in my head like a rotisserie chicken.

And no, they don't need a laptop with the big screen they have...but I figured, if Investigation agents have computers, Directors should have them too for their own personal use.

And this concludes my presentation of why they should've hired me.

Hey, we finally found Macklemore's buddy, Ryan Lewis! Covered in slime! Er, syrup!

So he hates the workplace but wants Captain O to do a favor for him...as a friend and not as a Director?

I mean setting aside the fact that he's an idiot for taking the words of criminals at face value, this isn't logic that will get you a "yes" answer.

VILLAIN NEWS AND IT'S JUST A PARODY OF BBC WORLD NEWS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh God...what bumfuck network would even allow this regularly-airing newscast for criminals and by criminals? Actual news networks interviewing people in prison are more sane!

As arbitrary as Family Feud's "we asked 100 people the following question and here are the answers we are given".

Normally, though, if this were actual news and not fake news, it'd include the name of the town and actual sta- oh. Oh wait this episode does have actual stats doesn't it. Mmmmm okay never mind that.

Your bar graph's also backwards, honey. Bar graphs have ascending axis numbers, not descending. By your logic then no people dislike Odd Squad and those who like it, a mere 20, would win by majority.

This could be pinned on bad editing, but I could also pin it on this woman being a fuck-all idiot, and that's funner so I'll do that instead.

Yeah...yeah, you leave. Remind us that with your political status, you can't do much against a branch of a worldwide pseudo-government organization.

POUT-FACE LEVELS OF DISAPPOINTMENT. POUT-FACE LEVELS!!!

"Build me a fully functional professional TV studio."

"Uh...yeah...about that...we don't need to do anything, do we, Ono-"

"You're sitting in one."

"...What."

"You're currently sitting in one."

"Again I'll repeat: what."

Technically this would be copyright infringement, but putting aside that...if these children don't take off their uniforms and get into civilian clothes, the logo for the newscast might as well be Odd-Squad-branded. It's like criminals doing the news in orange jumpsuits. That's how you know they're criminals. With people dressed professionally...maybe they have a record, maybe they don't. You don't know.

Oh, this man scatting to the tune of the newscast's opening theme...bless him. It's so pure.

Good way to start a newscast! Completely deadpan and with a deadpan anchorman next to you.

By contrast, Miss Information was at least more animated.

(Also, if Miss Information is running evil BBC World News...does that mean Odd Squad's running good BBC World News? What's the difference? Who competes against BBC World News?)

Orwell. Child. You are supposed to be deadpan and stoic. What are you doing.

Clearly the writers did not need to stoop much lower to encapsulate the stupidity of adults, because any smart person would not be fooled by such an obvious mistake.

But Britain is, like Canada and America, full of idiots.

This goofy man.

That's it. That's the comment.

"Thank you for watching. Odd Squad is officially back in business!"

Given how much of "Bad Lemonade" this is copying...no. On so many levels, no. We got 7 minutes.

THIS GUY GOT A WHOLE-ASS STRAWBERRY BERET.

ALSO HI WHO ARE YOU?????????

...Ohhhhhh. So this is Sir Rup.

Honestly, that's a clever punny name. I can't fault them for that.

But also, he's the little brother of someone who pushes fake news? That's...I mean those are wildly different niches. But y'know, one woke up and chose violence and the other one woke up and chose food.

HOLD UP HER OFFICE IS ON THE FIRST FLOOR???????????????

Ohhhh rest in pieces to the days when it was on the second floor.

(Oprah's office was on a lower floor as the Big O too, and same goes for Orpita as the Little O. But this just looks like she shacked up in a closet with a window leading to nowhere.)

Okay, but see, the newscast contains no interviews. That would help in this situation instead of throwing out arbitrary numbers and "oh, we asked people". Citation needed, source?, call it what you like.

It's not as gut-busting hilarious as Oswald's girly scream, but Onom's similarly girly yelp got a laugh out of me all the same.

Y'know, Mayor Mackelmore was an idiot, but at least he somewhat knew his shit.

This guy sees one unsourced bar graph from a criminal and takes it at face value AND OH MY GOD THIS IS SOME THINLY-VEILED JAB AT SOME COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT ISN'T IT. NOT EVEN JUST THE GOVERNMENT BUT EVERYONE IN THE DAMN COUNTRY. YOU SONS OF BITCHES. HALFWAY IN AND I'M JUST REALIZING THAT.

Orwell, no wink can save you from your dead personality on TV.

This is literally fucking Fake News: The Odd Squad Episode, and that's already a better title than making it an antagonist title.

Pure motherfucking social commentary. And while this is Britain, it very much applies for the whole of America.

A branch of a worldwide pseudo-government organization cannot just pack up and leave town like they bought a new house. Hope this helps!

(On to Part 2!)

[dolceminerva97]

I don’t want to sound rude but why ship UK and Arg together I thought both countries are on and have historically been on bad terms?

Hello! Your question isn't rude at all, it's the most sensible thing to ask at first glance, actually. It's true that UK and Argentina have historically been on very rocky terms, but their history goes beyond that, I'll elaborate.

First, I've discussed this in the past, three years ago (but bear in mind some of my opinions are outdated there) and you might want to check out this, this and this post if you're interested.

Their multiple frictions and conflicts through history are not a detriment for me shipping them— in fact, it's what makes their relationship more interesting to me. I am fascinated by the ambiguous, on-and-off antagonistic role Arthur has in Agustina's life, and how this has deeply impacted her growth of character.

That is not to say Agustina has the same level of importance and presence in Arthur's life, for she is a mere blink in his immensely eventful international affairs. However, in the context of Britain's involvement with Latin America specifically, Argentina has always been the main interest in the region. This is ironic, because one could easily assume the special place should belong to Brazil, given Britain's relationship with Portugal. But no; Argentina was not only the most prosperous relationship he developed in the region, but also the one that lasted the longest before the inevitable decline of British influence in the continent in favour of US imperialism.

Argentina's place and importance in the British Empire are often compared to that of India, Australia and Canada. She is a special case, for their economic relationship is virtually that of a colonial bond, except Argentina was an independent republic who kept her Spanish Catholic cultural identity and was not forcefully assimilated to the British way of life. It's a bit of a give-and-take situation, and the unequal power struggle fluctuates between moments of resistance and cooperation. Before the Malvinas war, Britain had already invaded Argentina multiple times in the 19th century, and was faced with resistance every time.

—Argentines never became passive, inanimate victims of British domination. (...) Welcoming the British when it suited them, they also devised ways to resist them by protecting their sovereignty.

As you can see, their relationship can't be reduced to hatred. It's a convoluted story that starts with hostility and distrust in the 19th century, but evolves to cooperation and mutual benefit by the end of it. The first half of the 20th they were friends, and Agustina relied on Arthur so much that she ended up developing a distorted infatuation for him.

While the first half of the 20th century was the highest peak of their friendship, it all came to an end by the late 1940s and hostility regarding the Malvinas issue escalated Argentina's well-known hatred for Britain until the short but traumatic war in 1982. To this day, Argentina remains bitter and spiteful of this unresolved issue.

As of real-life history, I do not condone or celebrate Argentina's overly dependent bond on Britain at the peak of British imperialism. I don't mean to romanticise it or see it as anything else than just that— fucking imperialism. But Tina and Arthur are fictional characters, and I am fascinated by the way their interpersonal relationship develops through these issues. They are both deeply flawed individuals who act on self-interest and have their own sentimental baggage and vulnerabilities. And I love that for them 😩👌

I hope I could give you a better insight on my shipping shenanigans, but if you want me to elaborate on anything else you might wonder, you can ask me on my side blog @novantasettefiori which is where I discuss them specifically. Sorry for not shutting the fuck up about them, I am obsessed lol.

Hello... can I ask a link to your review on anime, "Buddy Daddies"? Sorry I can not find them, or are you writing them in your twitter? I just finished the anime, and now I can say it's one of my top favorite anime ever....! Can I ask for your BL recs that have the same vibe as Kazuki/Rei, please?

Also from Sk8 between Reki/Langa and Joe/Cherry and Adam/ Tadashi, who are your favorite ship? And why? Whichever your answer is, can I also ask BL recs that have the same vibe as them?

Sorry if I ask too much, please feel free if you want to answer them or not....Thanks for sharing your recs and reviews, you are my best guide on BL manga/manhwa...... I knew you first time from your A to Z BL challenge and then I found your blog. I hope you know that founding your blog and tumblr means so much to me.... Please just answer (if you want) any time you want whenever you're free....🙏

Hi again! I answer these asks whenever I have time & energy, so no need to apologize. ^^ Time to recommend some BLs and answer your questions!

As to why you couldn't find Buddy Daddies (BD from now on) review on my blog; because I haven't reviewed it. Neither on my blog nor my Twitter. When I was about to finish the seasonal first impressions (I had two reviews left, BD and High Card), the major earthquake happened and I took a break. After that, the political climate and the economy have been so bad that I didn't have the energy to spare for my blog. I still write reviews (mostly of books, on my Instagram, but in Turkish) and occasionally talk about stuff on Twitter but that's it. One other minor reason that made me feel reluctant to write on BD was because my thoughts on the series is quite negative. I didn't finish it, and not sure if I ever will. But I did like Kazuki and Rei together, the mighty "sunshine x emo" trope, and happy to hear that you've found something you felt so passionate about!

I'll recommend 3 titles that have a similar pairing. I'll also add my reviews from my blog, you can head there to find additional information such as the publication status, where to read, screenshots etc.

It's Just a Dream... Right? by White Eared: If you like supernatural elements, are okay with reading ongoing, mature content, then I highly recommend this one. I've reviewed it before, you can check it out here.

The Neighbor I Desire by Makoto: If you like the "I just can't leave you alone, I have to take care of you!" trope and when characters share a table, eating together, this might be up your alley. Another title I've reviewed for my Friday BL corner.

Oh! My Assistant by MILA & AngryMonster: You said you've found me through my A to Z Challenge so you've probably have seen this but in case you haven't. Another puppy seme with an uke that's not exactly an emo, but fails to convey his emotions. Here's my review, but Tapas has removed this one from their library and now it's on Lezhin. You can find it here (All Ages) and here (Mature).

As for Sk8. It was a fun show to watch but I wasn't deep in their fandom. I can understand the appeal behind Adam/Tadashi and found Joe to be really cute ~ Joe/Cherry have that enemies to lovers vibe that starts off as something strictly physical. Hence, I can recommend Glasses Cloth & Playlist. I know the name is weird but it's short & completed, and I highly recommend it. You can find out more about it here in my review.

That's all I have for you! Hopefully you'll find something that suits your taste and my recommendations were at elast close to the vibe you're looking for. Enjoy, and let me know what you think of them if you ever get to read one!

[magical-girl-coral]

ATTENTION: local dumbass that needs to kill themselves discovers the concept of boycotting

Okay, there are multiple errors here:

1) I already knew about boycotting for years now. I've also complained about it a few years ago when "y'all can't even boycott chick fil a" went viral. And I already understood the concept of it in general since I was eight when my mother warned me not to read some newspaper companies cause she found out they're own my rotten politicians. Maybe that's something other people should practice sometimes.

2) if you're agree that I said you can't boycott a whole country, then I'm sorry you can't handle the truth. One of our biggest financial support is by creating small chips you put in tech objects that are impossible to take out. We have international shipping with multiple countries outside of the West because shocker! The world doesn't revolve around one side of the planet! There multiple families who do the immigration thing to the US to send money back home since dollars have more worth than shekels. You can't just "boycott" country from the rest of the world unless that country only does one specific thing like some cartoon's concept of an evil empire. That's not how life works.

3) the only way people I've seen actually affected by this boycott are working class people who just trying to get through the day. Jewish Europeans who had their kosher cafes destroyed. Innocent McDonald part-time employees in the UK having to deal with a nutjob releasing rats into the restaurant. Rabbis getting death threats on Twitter. Only normal people are actually affected by this because it was never about being right, it's about looking right.

4) killing or threatening me isn't going to do any change either. I'm a depressed 22 year old that's been unemployed for months and suffering from burn out. You're targeting someone that has nothing to do with the war effort and would mourn by fifteen people at best.

5) Jews are the most argumentive stubborn, bullheaded rebellious people I know. By you going to strangers' inboxes and telling us to kill ourselves, it gives us motivation to reach a hundred and twenty out of pure fucking spite.

6) I'm allowed to criticize BSD. Sometimes victims can be wrong. Remember how on Twitter white BLM protestors were given advice to wear pretty clothes so that the police would think they're too innocent to hurt? Or how during the actor's strike, people were told to not promote anything even when the actors' themselves said "no, some of these are okay. Just give us some credit"? Not every movement is a hundred percent correct. Putting Palestinian movements and political solutions on a pedestal will only get more people hurt.

All in all, an f-. You were so disappointing that you invented a new low. Just what exactly did you think you want going to happen?

[figurecollection]

hello figure guy :D its barbara anon.. again! i'm very sorry to bother you again, but i was wondering if you had any advice on what the best place to preorder would be from if you're in the uk?

i've checked a lot of uk stores, but none of them have the figures that i was looking for... i'm looking for the "Prisma☆Phantasm - Illyasviel von Einzbern - 1/7 - Roomwear Ver. (Claynel)" figure, but i can't find her anywhere :o

is it because the figure is new, so it takes a while for other stores to find the PO? or should i be looking into a proxy service?

unrelated to that, do you have any figure collecting rules you follow? this one is more just out of interest, but i'm curious to hear peoples opinions. i personally set rules like "you can only buy figures from games/novels/ect you've played and enjoyed" so that i don't go buying figures of characters i don't know of, but the prisma phantasm figures (both pink and purple ones) are making me falter in my loyalty, they're two of the prettiest figures ive ever seen

hi barbara anon!! So: Dekai anime 100%. They tend to keep up with releases, especially popular releases on MFC. It looks like there might be some issues with overseas preorders with her at the moment since shes not avalible on en amiami but is on jpn amiami.

A few months ago I contacted dekai anime with regards to the Ren Kizaki figarts asking if they would have him for preorder since I couldn't find him anywhere in the UK and they replied very fast saying that there was some issues with securing an import for him since he was an exclusive, but a few weeks later I saw that they had him up for preorder!! So I would recommend messaging their customer support asking if they plan on stocking her. Their prices are also very reasonable and have free shipping and guaranteed no customs or extra charges to the UK and EU. But I do believe that it's because she has only just been announced and companies are still securing preorder arrangements.

Also with your question; I also only buy figures of characters I love, or by artists I really enjoy. I have never seen NGE, but I LOVE Mine Yoshizaki and when my husband got me this Tabris figure I nearly cried, the whole set has been one of my grails for a long time. I think it's totally ok to get figures for the aesthetic, I know Prisma Illya has it's issues but they admittedly are cute and tasteful figures with amazing bases so I do understand.

[finitevoid]

I don't want him to be gay because he's NOT a gay character. I don't know if you're asking genuinely or you're joking here but I'm sick of people treating Ike like he's gay when the game literally never said that. I can't comprehend why people will argue this is more important than actually explicit LGBT characters, even Niles at this point. AT least he can actually be with a man. But no one talks about him like that they just want to complain about FE Fates while praising Ike for..... doing what exactly?????? Being in a moirailegence??????? Hvaing a friend. Ok. Fine. Whatever.They just need their uke seme SO bad yeah not thinking about how insane and unhealthy their relationship would even be if you were to read that all as romantic. It's a mess of dependency and power dynamics.. beorc with branded, commander with his employer, honestly the state of their mental health like are you reading this. Is everyone else just not seeing this. Also 1. we can assume soren is older mentally than ike and 2. that ike is older physically than soren. It's gross both ways around why are people drawing fanart of them together . Why do people ship this. . Why did ikesoren win the fire emblem yaoi poll. WHy did soren win the fire emblem gayest character poll against chracters like LEON . I'm a certified ikesoren HATER sorry if it makes me problematic ,, AHHHHHHHHHH

For someone who I know for a fact is an ikesoren fan you are really really good at mimicking people who don’t like it. I’m genuinely impressed. If I didn’t know you I’d believe this easy. We should get into akeshu

[2n2n]

do you know of any good jshk doujins...

SADLY no. But I can at least rec you artists I like in general, some of whom make comics or what have you, and then rec you tags to check on pixiv if it helps? NSFW links and mentions under the cut lol. I'm sorry if you don't even want that specifically, ig that's what 'doujin' connotates to me LOL. Nonetheless most of these recs are SFW.

this artist on twitter makes my absolute favorite comics/art... hopefully someday I'll be able to buy their doujins (god, I wish I could read their novels... *shakes down my husband to become proficient in JP faster*)..... as you can imagine I'm super picky about characterization and arrangement. This artist's take on Tsukasa issss.... a sort of sasoi uke. He wants to encourage Amane to attack him. I really love their work regarding the shinjuu. They capture an aspect of Amane not often well depicted..... They're locked right now, but they do frequently unlock. If you're curious about their work and wanna see it before following, you can DM me and I can send you some examples of it, if you don't wanna wait for them to unlock or to follow blindly!

Love this artist's work as well, again really good at depicting the shinjuu with respect to what we know of it. on twitter here. I adore this piece sooo much..... they also draw HanaNene!! When someone appreciates both, thats the best...

Nice evocative works from this artist.... also depicts the shinjuu in a way I find rewarding. I guess that's what I'm typically after.

Not into everything this artist draws, but they do a good amount of very soft, tender work of the Yugi, some of my favorite pieces in the fandom. So much overflowing love and adoration. Love this sequence.... this image is like GOD... GOD WE’RE WAITING FOR THE DAAAY!!! PLEEAASE

This artist makes good, evocative pieces of the Yugi.... again just, reverence for Tsukasa and the shinjuu, I need it.... this piece (which reads 'do you love me?') really sticks with me.

You know what else hinders me from being able to rec much NSFW is that I don't like.... anal at all ♥ I'm only really into hand/mouth stuff as far as the twins are concerned, and that's not really so common. Most things want to escalate to penetration .... my dream doujin would be of course Nene x Amane x Tsukasa, but that's rare even in single images, much less a doujin. I've gotta defeat my art block so I can draw it myself TT_TT..... even for HanaNene, I feel like I can't rec much 'cuz it's often depicted a little.... one-note? Just like a normal relationship? I'm as underwhelmed by depictions of HanaNene as a normal couple as I am depictions of the Yugi as a one-note abusive over the top rape yaoi, you know? Both ends of the spectrum are underwhelming.

there are a lot of comics of Yashiro getting fingered on pixiv..... I couldn't point you to entire doujins however, much less anything translated-- and even among the short comics on pixiv, nothing's really leapt out at me thus far (sad). Gomen. Stuff of that nature (doujin) isn't shared/spread in JP fandoms (since it'd be art theft lol), I don't think the eng side is really interested in scanning/translating AmaTsu or HanaNene doujin, lol. Not that I've really seen.....

If you want to browse pixiv yourself though, here's some tags you can use:

つかあま (Yugi ship) 柚木司 柚木普 (Tsukasa and Amane's full names; not everyone tags even NSFW work with their pairing name, many things are just tagged with the characters. So you should always search both!) 花寧々(HanaNene) 花子くん 八尋寧々(Hanako and Nene's names) 柚木兄弟 (Yugi brothers)

Chapter 31

THE ROAD SO FAR

Chapter 30 Recap?

Roach was falling.

S.O.S.

"Alex"

1km behind the Victoria Cruise Ship, UK

"Can't this thing go any faster?!" he hissed against the loud revving of the motor he stole from the docks. He wasn't supposed to steal it, but when he realized no one was around at that time of day, he saw smoke plume from the ship and thought he'd "borrow" it for an emergency.

From the shore, he saw flashing lights signaling a rescue team, meaning that something happened on the ship. Alex's hands gripped on the control stick as he navigated the smooth waves toward the ship, stopping at the moment he saw someone get pushed off deck.

He didn't need to know who it was, so he immediately changed course to the direction where the person fell. Strangely enough, the person didn't emerge from the ripples. This meant that he didn't have the capacity to shake his limbs. Without hesitating about his metal leg, Alex stood up and dove toward the ripple, cold ocean water immediately surrounded his body. 

With all his effort, he swam downward until he caught up with the person, whom he soon realized to be Roach. He was squirming and holding his breath as Alex caught him and attempted to push them afloat. Of course he had a hard time doing it, as his hand held onto Roach and his metal leg couldn't make him swim better. So he grabbed his knife and sliced Roach free from the ropes, allowing him to freely swim upward, pulling Alex with him.

Emerging from the deep blue, Alex and Roach both gasped for air, caught up with their breaths and swam back to their stolen boat.

Roach hoisted himself up and assisted Alex, pulling him back to the boat.

"Whew, for a second I thought I was a goner." Gary coughed and wriggled his wrists, feeling the freedom.

"What happened out there?" Alex asked, salt water dripped from his hair and stache.

"It's a hostage situation, Shepherd's in need of funds and decides to target a gathering of rich people." Roach explained as Alex started the boat, the motor slowly sputtered to life.

"Let's crash the party." Alex invited and Roach nodded as they made their way into the slowly sinking cruise ship.

Stepping inside the cruise ship, Alex and Roach made their way through the corridors evading contact with Shadow Company. They are fully aware that without glowing beacons, they are a threat. 

"I think it's this way!" Gary pointed the left path and Alex followed, the way led to the Captain's quarters.

"Alex, Roach!" Soap grunted while fighting with one of the three big guys, his hand formed an X while deflecting a huge oar.

Roach and Alex surrounded the big guy and ducked the moment he swung his weapon, Roach quickly disabling him by kicking his foot making him lose balance and fall on his back.

"Thanks. That oar was annoying the hell out of me." Soap gasped and wiped off his tux, looking at how messed the room was. 

"So it was 1 versus 3?" Alex asked as he looked at the unconscious bodies on the floor.

"Pretty much. One tazed the other one and the rest is history." Soap chuckled and pointed to the door. 

"The rest of the team headed that way. They're trying to stop the Shadow Company while Price extracted 'Gold Bar'." Soap added and the three moved forward to the next area. 

Halfway through the halls, the ship hummed and tilted slightly, meaning that water hadl already made its way inside. They have to hurry before the ship sinks.

"911 was right behind me when I left off. We have to make sure every civilian gets saved." Alex suggested. Soap and Roach looked at each other and nodded.

"You go, Alex. We'll handle the rescue from here." Soap replied and Roach nodded again as they paced to where the civilians were.

"All right then." he muttered and made his way to the control room.

Gunshots were heard from the distance, echoing the narrow corridors of the ship. With a place this narrow, it's almost impossible to miss a shot. This actually worried the former CIA and he ran faster, his metal leg hoofed on the floor.

The scene was Ghost and Alexandra hiding behind the wheel while Shadow Company soldiers, who were armed, were hiding by the next room. The two had pistols on their hands but judging from their gestures, it looked like they only had a few bullets left.

As soon as the enemy peeked its head on the door, Ghost swiftly shot his bullet square on the head as the enemy dropped down on the floor with a loud thud. His bullet clicked and he cursed as soon as he realized that that was his last shot.

Alexandra followed as another one peeked and had the same fate. Loud thundering footsteps echoed the halls as reinforcements arrived.

"This is Price. I found Alex's boat and the Gold Bar is here with me. Rescue Services are already in the building. Get out of there now!" He roared and Alex needed to find a way out.

Scanning the area, he charged toward the glass windows of the control room and broke it, rolling down the diagonal design of the ship, thudding on the floor. Alexandra and Ghost followed him and they ran to the back of the ship which was still too far from where they're at.

Dodging bullets and running for their lives, they caught up with Soap and Roach, who were also being chased by soldiers.

"What a mess this was, huh?" Alexandra commented as they all sprinted together, dodging flying bullets and finding a way off the ship.

"I guess it's Plan B." Ghost muttered and Alexandra nodded.

"Follow me." He added and everyone else obliged as they made their way to the middle of the ship.

Alex had no idea what plan B meant but as soon as they made it to the center, they were surrounded by the Shadow Company. Their stances were slightly tilted as the ship continued to sink slowly into the ocean.

"Bollocks! I did not see this coming!" Ghost cursed and Alex was clear that this wasn't part of the plan.

"How many of them are here?!" Soap complained as they slowly huddled into a circle. Alex noted that they did this part like the Avengers in New York, except they weren't superheroes and they were weaponless.

"I don't know. I just got out of a life threatening situation and here I am again with one." Roach complained, looking at his allies.

"On three, we head east."  Ghost whispered, Alex turned to the location smoothly as to not alert everyone that's pointing their weapons at them.

"Two.."

"One.." 

Ghost clicked his detonator and a huge explosion occurred in the east, sending most of the Shadow Company on their feet and distracted.

"Go! Go! Go!" Ghost roared and everyone scattered and ran toward the blast, using the destroyed debris that was once impassable.

Alex and the rest of the team ran as they approached the back of the ship where Price was supposed to be. It only took the Shadow Company a few minutes to recover and bullets began to fly toward their direction.

Ahead of him, Roach and Soap were already by the edge, Alex saw the two jumped away from the ship and into safety while behind him, Ghost and Alexandra were being pressured with bullets.

Alex held onto the rails before attempting to jump, making sure Ghost and Alexandra made it through. He saw Alexandra follow Ghost's six but she accidentally tripped and dropped on the floor. 

"Shit!" She squealed in pain as she got shot on the thigh, she forced herself to get up with Ghost's assistance. Alex pushed some tanning chairs toward the enemy as the tilted ship helped them slide to them, causing them to evade the falling chairs. But Shadow Company didn't give up, a few more soldiers emerged from the background.

"We have to go! Now!" Alex yelled as he ran ahead of Ghost making sure nothing's behind him. The enemies were still quite far but from the corner of his eye, a man with an RPG aimed his sights at them and before Alex could do anything, smoke already trailed from the weapon. It was already fired.

"Ghost! Behind you! RPG!" Alex yelled as the missile missed the three of them, and hit the floor quite far from them, tearing yet another hole on the ship's deck.

The warm heat of the blast slightly burned their skin as Alex and Ghost flew to the direction of their boat while Alexandra flew nearer to the Shadow Company, separating her from the rest of the team.

Alex's ears rang at the blast and he could hear Ghost's cry. Before he eventually fell on the ocean, the last thing he heard was Ghost calling out Alexandra's name.

S.O.S.

Simon "Ghost" Riley

Alex's stolen boat (S.S. Crossbones), 4 km from Port of Dover, UK

Just when he thought he found his sense of humanity back through Alexandra Ryder, the universe fucked up his life once again. He was conscious, but he didn't want to wake up. He didn't want to open his eyes and see that Alexandra wasn't with them. It was too much.

He could feel someone slapping on his cheek, and judging by the group, only Roach had the guts to do it.

"Should we do CPR? I can't hear him breathing." Roach asked, panic was in his voice.

"Check if his chest is rising or falling." Soap suggested. Ghost thought that he could pretend to be dead for a little more, but the team was worried about him and he had to face reality one way or another.

Ghost coughed the salty seawater clogging his breathing and panted heavily as he got up. His vision slowly got clearer as he visualized the whole team looking at him.

"Thank God, you're alive!" Roach cheered and everyone else nodded him welcome. He wanted to thank each of them but there was still something bothering him.

"Alexandra…" he muttered as he quickly got up, Alex's hands stopped him on his tracks.

"They tried circling around the ship before it sank. There was no sign of her." He frowned along with the rest of the team. Ghost hasn't cried in a while, but this time tears involuntarily trickled on his cheeks.

"NOOOOO!!" He yelled, his voice pierced through the open sea as Gary huddled near him and gave him a hug.

"I'm sorry." Roach whispered. He wasn't there to help him and he always tries to absorb some of the blame.

Ghost wanted to tell him that it isn't his fault, but his throat was still recovering from his screams. Everyone around him fell silent as he slowly stood up and pulled his mask.

He silently tossed it into the ocean as it slowly sank as soon as it got soaked with water. It was sad to think that Alexandra lost her life at the cost of no lead toward Shepherd or Nero, but Ghost looked straight into Gold Bar's eyes.

"I want you to live your life to the fullest. She sacrificed hers so you could live on. Don't you dare waste the second chance he gave you." He muttered causing Derek to nod and slowly sob as he sat on his knees.

"I will…" he whimpered through the croaking of his voice.

"Looks like the engine's back up." Soap announced, pulling his oily hands from the engine as Price started the machine as it revved to life.

For the whole duration of the trip, Ghost just stared at the remains of the cruise ship. He wanted to ask Alexandra to take their awkward arrangement to the next level, but the world looked like it had other plans for him.

"I will avenge you, Alexandra Ryder. I'll do whatever it takes to put your loss to justice." he whispered, tightening his grip on the boat, looking angrily at the ocean in front of him.

[screamxqueenx94]

Hey ! Could I request a Teen Wolf ship please? Bi and ace, she/her. I'm an INFP, my enneagram is 4w3, and I'm a Pisces sun & moon and Sagittarius rising - I'm also a Hufflepuff ! Although when I was younger I was definitely such a Slytherin, I've changed and grew as a person over the years - although not quite physically ! I'm 4'11, and I have straight, chest length, deep plum coloured hair with layers, blue eyes, and far too many freckles. According to friends, upon first appearance I seem quite aloof, but once a conversation is struck, I just don't know how to shut up. I'm very bubbly and sociable, but I also get overwhelmed by spending too much time with other people (it could be due to me being an introvert, or the anxiety, or the ADHD - I'm not entirely sure which, if any, is responsible) and need to distance myself from people quite often to recharge my social battery. Wine aunt friend with terrible dad jokes. I'm currently studying Arts & Humanities, and I hope to become a journalist upon graduation, but if that doesn't work out I'd love to be a drama teacher. I wish I was more spontaneous and outgoing, but I'm such a homebody - my hobbies include reading, writing, and playing an unhealthy amount of the sims. In high school, I was head of the journalism club, as well as editor of our yearbook - I was also involved in debate. I've also been involved in theatre my whole life outside of school. My style is a little bit all over the place - I love to dress smart, but sometimes that means glam to lectures and other times that means like dressing like somebody's grandfather to a fancy meal. This also goes for music, too, and I'll listen to most genres and most decades (except classical, put some of that on and I'll be out like a light !).

Random fun fact speed run time ! I'm from the UK (Liverpool !) and my accent is annoyingly strong. I suffer with sensory issues and can't eat certain foods or touch certain fabrics (like cheese, or scratchy wool). I had my ears pierced but they closed up - I won't get them redone because the gun got caught on my ears last time (thick lobes, apparently) and I'm scared of needles. Which is also why I'd never get a tattoo, but when I was younger all I ever wanted was to be covered in tattoos and have a bunch of piercings, but that wasn't to be. I ramble a LOT (clearly !). I've never been in a relationship before. I like pubs but clubs are a no-go, I've got really bad crowd anxiety. My favourite scent is actually this off brand body spray I got in a Boots christmas set (bergamot, cedarwood and amber) and I wear it all the time.

I'm sorry, that was a lot of information ! Thank you so much 💛

Hi love! You're fine, I didn't mind cuz I ramble sometimes too lol! Okay, so immediately once I started reading this, I knew exactly who I was shipping you with. Might shock you, but stay with me okay? Lol (I also thought Kira, but this one seemed to fit a little more in my opinion)

I ship you with Scott McCall

You seem like a sweetheart, so why not pair with another known sweetheart?

Scott is kinda aloof too, but your guys' conversations can get so deep and last for hours

It gets to the point where you two know everything about each other

Maybe even a little more than what Stiles knows

I personally think Scott is a mix of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and Hufflepuffs get along with just about anyone so you two would definitely be like two peas in a bod

With Scott being the second shortest guy in the pack (apart from Liam) you being 4'11" will make him feel so tall and boost his confidence a little bit

Because we know he's not always confident in himself (and that's okay)

Now with being ace; Scott is a horny boy, let's just be honest

However, he also drinks his respect women juice on a daily and would never do anything that would make you uncomfortable and wouldn't ever make you feel like you had to do anything

He respects you and what you feel

He could find other nonsexual ways to be intimate with you very well

And as for being bi as well; doesn't bother him in the slightest

He's fully supportive

He probably put a sticker saying "I got a bi 'wife'" on his motorcycle along with an LGBT alley sticker lol

Your eyes and freckles are probably his most favorite things about your physical self

He loves to count your freckles while you two are counting, which will more than likely lead into a tickle fight

He usually wins, but will give you sweet little kisses after

He also thinks your hair is totally badass

He thinks it gives you an edge and refers to you as a badass as well

When you start feeling overwhelmed socially, he's quick to remove you from the social situation without it being awkward and gets you home

And if you were to tell him that that included him, he'd completely understand and probably go hang out with Stiles or even Deaton

He loves your dad jokes, even the really bad ones

He says "they're only funny when you tell them" and he genuinely means that

As for the wine aunt friend of your group, that's fine cuz he's the mom friend so he's got this

You sit back and relax and he'll make sure things go smoothly

He's your biggest supporter of your dreams

He also knows that no matter what you put your mind to, you'll get it done due to your 4w3 ennegram (I had to research it lol)

There's no shame in being a homebody

And he tells you that

But he'll occasionally be spontaneous and take you on a random adventure to just to add a little excitement to life

Like taking a ride on his bike along the coast on a Tuesday

Or to like band at a pub on a Thursday

Or anything random that would definitely be fun and just out of nowhere

I think Scott would probably try to tell you how unhealthy the amount of time you play the Sims is, but he won't force you to stop

"at least take a break to stretch your body and drink some water" he'd insist

Because he cares lol

He'd also be super interested in what you're reading or writing and could listen to you talk about it for hours

I also fully believe he'd love your accent; like wholeheartedly believe that

He loves your style because he never knows what to expect

He almost makes it into game

"Hmmm, what is y/n gonna show up in today?" Is what he calls it

Not that he actually cares, because he always thinks you're beautiful

But it's a fun guessing game lol

I feel like he's very eclectic with music too

Both of you listening to the most random music on your playlists together and sharing music the other may not have heard

He loves it and hopes you do too

He does his best to accommodate to your sensory issues

It does make it hard to surprise you with gifts or cook for you sometimes, but I'm the end, he knows well enough what bothers you and what doesn't and when you love it, he's such a proud pup

If you chose to get your ears repierced, he'd take you to get them professionally done, and would hold your hand and talk to you the whole time because he knows and understands that you're scared of needles

If you decided not to, he'd make sure to find some cool clip on or magnetic earrings so you can still have the luxury of earrings without all the pain of piercing them

Same with the tattoos, if you wanted them, he'd go with you, hold your hand and keep you distracted from the needles

And if decided not to, no problem!

He might order you some cool fake tats online for you when you're thinking about it and just wanna test it out first or if you just feel like having one for the day lol

Either way, this little bean is super supportive and understanding

He doesn't mind your rambling

He'd listen to it all day if he could lol

He'd feel honored to be your first relationship

He's not the most patient at times, but he is understanding and really wants you be happy in this relationship

Because lowkey, he also is kinda hoping it's your last 💍*hint hint

Whatever is your favorite scent to wear, he wouldn't care where he had to go to find it, or how much it cost, he'd make sure you had it

Also, he'd love to take a trip to your hometown with you and can show him all your favorite spots and all the cool things that you really enjoy there

He'd love them because you do and is all about keeping you happy

He'd even move there if that's what you wanted

That's all I got! Thank you so much for sending it in babes! Sorry it took me so long, life's been busy, but I'm hoping to be able to do more of these! I really hope you liked it!

Hi new followers! Just a reminder what you're letting yourself in for:

I post a fair bit about history but I'm not an historian or a history student, I'm just interested. I have opinions™ like anyone but am open to education and love to learn! Please don't be rude about it if you disagree or I'm misinformed, though. I don't tolerate rude people no matter how well educated they are (or think they are). I've worked customer service at a vets for the past year, I don't need any more bullshit.

I love Henry VII. Sorry. (James Maxwell is my definitive Henny 💚)

I also love Francis Walsingham. Sorry. (Geoffrey Rush is my fave Wals 🖤 Though his sexy killer isn't very close to reality.)

I ship Walsingham with his Queen but only in the very specific context of the "Elizabeth" movie (1998)! I have this year started trying to finish a Walsibeth fic I started in 2008. Maybe I'll sort it before 2030...

I draw quite a lot. Usually Walsingham, again from "Elizabeth" 1998. He is my baby.

I am also, and have been for many years, a Geoffrey Rush fan. His Wals is my fave of his roles, though I have seen nearly all his films and been lucky enough to have seen him on stage in 2009. Obvs can't speak for other people, but he was ever kind, generous and lovely to myself and fellow fans back in the peak GR online fandom days.

I will write and draw smut, again mostly Walsibeth. My blog is aimed at 18+ adults only, please be sensible and cultivate your own feed appropriately.

I may post/repost random shit from other things I like; this may include Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, some anime, Game of Thrones, or whatever pings my interests.

I will reblog shit posts, memes and any other randomness I appreciate. Sometimes even serious political things.

My asks are open, do drop me a message if you want to ask me anything. I am happy to chat but I don't do small talk.

I'm a furry but don't post about that much here. I work as a dog trainer/carer in RL, I ride horses for fun, I love to travel (when I can afford to and when it's allowed); Australia is my fave place. I like theatre, I like castles and cathedrals, and I play Pokémon GO, message me for my friend code! I live near Nottingham in the UK.

I hope that covers most bases. Welcome to my corner of the internet! 😘

So Trump leaves you too for hitting a sleep and he supposedly orchestrated you guys to fight each other and hit your fleets. When really he was trying to steal the comet Empire ship, I sat there trying to threaten for the spaceships and stations and provoke them for years it's his fault

Zues Hera

We know it's just fall off to you sat there for years doing it ultimately plan to ride us into each other because this week got decimated and he's trying to raise his fleet and it can't allow him to do that so we don't want him to we need you to bring your Giants off there and you're saying they can't it's a territory and he's in it cuz he's Moron he thinks they can he can control them by threatening me which is ridiculous and our friend says that and he says he's retarded and he is retarded and you have to kind of nail them for him to shut up so going after you Trump and shut you up

Mac

It's my territory in there in it

Trump

Sorry territory and you're in it and we told you not to be in it and you kept on stretching down into it and you're a liar and they know it I can't back off them because they won't let us if we do they start going after our friend and we're tired of these people you people don't do anything against them for the most part unless they're directly attacking you. We're going to attack many attacks until the decimated, and defend yourselves you're going to attack you for taking the Utah as a territory we claimed as theirs and also attacking you in the UK because you're trying to take that over she's trying to defend yourself you're lousy trumpsters not hard to beat.
