#and i too deserve these peaches

[sharkbeneaththelotus]

Today's postypost is "I have not made anything in three days of light just implode"

No time like the right now, ah?

Zhang Qiling was fine.

He was in a big box food store, and he was, objectively, factually, uninjured.

However.

The shelf, aisle, department and street names were all correct, and there was a distinct lack of salted dried peaches and he was, by this point in what was feeling like an exceedingly long day, deeply wounded by this.

To the sides, hawthorn cakes and dried jujubes, above; little yellow and blue pill shaped things on packets of individual grilled squid, below; a superfluity of dried mango in a box that he could fit in. If he ducked his head.

But no dried peaches, let alone salt and spiced ones. The paper crumpling between his fingers had promised they would be here, with a little xx <3 at the bottom.

In the next aisle over, a child dutifully tried to pick up a bag of rice larger than it was, to audible amusement and much encouragement. Zhang Qiling could see the parental unit's hand on the handle, taking most of the weight until the rice was placed on the cart with great fanfare. The child received: one pat on the head.

Zhang Qiling reached up to tug his hood closer to his forehead. The lights were loud. Grating.

"Um, excuse me, thank you..." A cart of boxes said, to his left. The boxes were wheeling slowly down the aisle, accompanied by a human head. Possibly also the rest of the human. Zhang Qiling slipped between the boxes and the shelves, head ducked, so he didn't have to see.

"Um! Is there!" The human was not only a head. Oh good. "Is there something I can help you with?" It squeaked, in tones that were approaching 'sounds only a dog can hear'.

In a moment of ridiculous, fragile bravery, he held out The Paper, his thumb carefully over the xx<3, which was his and not for outsiders.

"Oh gosh, right, glad I was already restocking! Here, do you want two jars or two crates? It's cheaper per unit to get the whole crates--"

The tower of human-piloted boxes stopped, put it's breaks on with a deft gesture of a tiny foot, and began to dismantle itself. The tiny human appeared from behind the stack, beaming.

"Two. Crates?" He requested, a hand on a precariously balanced box.

The tiny human bobbed it's head and passed over a crate, labeled "24x400g". A second was unearthed from beneath a box of seaweed sheets.

"I'll take this to the counter for you--"

"No need." He lifted the first box to his shoulder, and boosted the other up on top of that.

"Oh! Okay! Great, good luck with your-- enjoy your purchase!"

He bobbed his head, sidled past the cart of boxes, and escaped.

Only two more episodes to go after this one and the gay is thriving as usual, so let's take a look:

1

Home and Peach keep staring intensly at the other's unconcious face while putting their head directly above the other's, resulting in unintentional headbuts. Boys, I know you're worried and want to be the first thing the other sees after waking up, but I'm sure there's less headache-inducing ways to go about it.

2

As per usual, Home is carrying Peach without complaint. (And I'm reminded once again that he's certainly not shy around his body o.O)

3

The looks/nonverbal communication between them are constant. Even surrounded by the rest of their family, their eyes always find each other first. Whether it's to comment on what just happened or to reassure each other on what's about to happen, one look says it all.

4

Pangpang is streaming and her viewers are shipping. They must be happy to see that Home and Peach have moved past their divorce era. ("Where's Peach?" they say, which, if you've ever been present for a live of some BL actors, well, you know.)

5

This shot is right out of a 2000s gay coming-of-age short film.

And the way Peach laughs so fondly and asks Home what he wants for dinner in a soft voice? The love is strong in this scene.

And then their kids join in to bug them.

(a commenter on YT pointed out Peach pulling down his shirt but I'm not even going to go there)

6

Home is so tuned in to Peach, when he get's a message and looks at it a little weirdly for a second, Home is immediately there to ask what's wrong.

7

Home is so genuinely happy that for Peach when he hears that he's finally getting closer to achieving his dream

only to force himself to keep up that happiness when he realises that it might get in the way of his own dream.

Meanwhile Peach can't even really be happy about this himself because being a cook is his dream but he doesn't want to lose his family, lose Home, to get there.

In fact, his first impulse after finding out is asking Home what he thinks about it, because just like Home, he's clearly at this point considering Home a part of his future. Decisions like that have to involve him. (And Home, you idiot. You could have just said you'd come with him. It's not like there's anything keeping you in Bangkok.)

But unfortunately those two have still not achieved this sense of security in their relationship (and definitely Home, probably also Peach, being orphans, I guess it's not surprising they're having some issues around attachment and feeling secure in the long-lastingness of their relationships). And so Home falls back on protecting his vulnerability by pretending it's not there. Rather than imposing difficulty onto Peach (,rather than facing the smallest possibility that Peach might choose this over him,) Home plays it off like there was never any future for them anyway, even after he had just confessed to his uncle ca. one minute earlier that all he wants is for them to stay together.

He isn't even very subtle in his overplaying (is that a word in English?) of his troubled emotions, at the same time using this opportunity to get physically close to Peach for potentially one of the last times.

8

Of course, as he told his uncle, all Home really wants is to stay together with Peach and his family.

But he has come quite a long way from tricking Peach into unfair contracts. So he'd rather stap back than cause Peach any problems, doesn't think it his right to put his selfish desires onto him. (Unfortunately, judging by the preview, Peach is also insecure so by doing that he's just hurting Peach more)

"Just us" huh, Home? You know, at this point you might as well just propose to him.

At least this time he has another member of his family there to cry into the shoulder of.

Lesbian Corner

The girls have taken a page out of the HomePeach handbook, clinging to each other at the revelation of a ghostly presence.

Now that Peach and Home are somewhat settled (well...) it's their turn to flirt their way through the end credits

Edit:

Oops, it seems I missed something. Kan and Pangpang even have their own shippers now

ive been replaying super mario 3d world recently and as much as i adore the cat suits ive always wished that they turned into actual cats with more individual and unique shapes and patterns so i did that

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

”why aren’t there any designs of the dsmp characters as poc?” i do agree on principle that it’s shitty there’s barely any but the reason is you literally got called out on multiple platforms and sent slurs for drawing c!tommy with a tan. i know bc it happened to me i literally lost friendships bc i dared draw him with dark skin. people used the fact i was in toxic overly sexual environments as a minor as a weapon against me bc… being pressured into sexual situations was my fault and i was evil and dangerous and that was somehow proven by the fact i didn’t draw c!tommy as lily white. this wasn’t even a poc design he literally just had a tan i can’t imagine the harassment people who actually tried to design characters as poc faced.

hey i'm not dead, hey updated eve design!!

Kaito x Keiko has potential, Aoko's best friend and childhood friend getting closer because of her until their relationship blossoms into something more. I think she's a Kid fan too even though she's supportive of Inspector Nakamori. Keiko stepping up to fill the holes in Aoko's support network left by Kaito's new business, because she has faith Kaito's doing his best to balance whatever going on with how much he cares about her best friend Aoko. Kaito being so grateful that Aoko will never be alone because Momoi Keiko to the rescue and Keiko letting Kaito know she's there for him too. If you can't tell I love AoMomo (BluePeach too), she's a very cute looking minor character and I believe Aoko's a good judge of character when it comes to her choice in friends.

I forgot to mention, but I also like AoMomo, and god, the ship name is so cute! Blue Peach! I just love it. It's just as cool as the Akako x Kaito ship name, which is Crimson Clover.

But getting back to the topic of Keiko x Kaito, one of the reasons why I like the ship is because they seem to have the same sense of humor. And also, I pair them together because of everything you said. I think Keiko is doing her best to fill the void Kaito left in her life, although I must say, from the looks of it, Kaito mostly tries to spend a lot of time with Aoko, and doesn't seem to abandon her for long. He always comes back. Although I think it's very cute the idea that Keiko wants to be there for both Aoko and Kaito.

I'm telling you about an idea I had about Keiko x Kaito, because I feel like this post is about everything except them. LOL.

I imagine Aoko goes on a date (with Hakuba or Akako, pick your poison), and decides to invite Kaito and Keiko so they can both be her moral support. In the end, the pair is doing so well that Keiko and Kaito decide to stay away from the other two so they can have more privacy.

In the end, Kaito ends up on an unplanned date with Keiko, he thinks it was fun and they should do it again.

Also, Keiko is a fan of KID and has a bit of a crush on him, however, she respects Aoko's opinion a lot and supports her.

Even in the episode where it tells how Aoko and Kaito met, she is shown to be worried about Aoko because she is the only one wearing an ANTI-KID sign, and she knows that some fans can be very intense.

Prompt: Shoes

Pairing: YasMoon

So I have Yas and Moon rocking out to California Gurls in one of the fics I'm working on for them, so!!! I decided to write them a thing based off it :3 If, uh...if you know the line, then you know the line XD

(CW for implied underage, although nothing too explicit.)

***

They stop to savor everything.

Sunlight coming through tent flaps. Ocean waves. Gulls. Tourist din. Warm, salt-scented air.

Yasmine smirks. It all feels so defiant.

Ditching the crowd. Pitching a secret hideaway where they do whatever they please.

Still wrapped around Moon, Yasmine sticks a foot off the towel and finds her discarded high heel. It was the first thing to go, haphazardly thrown off as manicured fingers tugged at sundresses and peeled away the bikinis underneath.

“There’s sand in my heel.” Yasmine snickers, toeing the pink plastic. “How gauche.”

Moon giggles. “Least it’s not Neiman Marcus, right?”

“For real.”

Costco has these artisanal peaches. My betrothed and I first had them while staying with some friends. They’re the platonic ideal of what an amazing peach should be. They’re peeled and preserved in juice whole, and somehow they taste slightly like vanilla.

When we got home from our visit we picked up a jar for ourselves. They lasted a good long while. We finally went to get more- and they were gone. I was devastated. That was two years ago.

Every Costco trip since then has included a hopeful look for the amazing peaches. I never stopped dreaming they’d come back.

My health has gotten better and with my improved energy I’ve finally been able to take over some of the chores. So when my betrothed lamented not having time for a Costco trip last week I volunteered to go alone.

I was meandering down the aisle and then I saw them. The peaches. The promised fruit I had been denied for two years, perfect and golden in that Costco aisle. Orchestral music swelled in my mind and everything around me faded away as I beelined toward them.

I was stricken with peach madness. I got four jars. Sitting in the car afterward I tallied the expense. The peaches were fully a quarter of the Costco bill. I texted my betrothed to apologize for absolutely losing my head. They reassured me over and over that it was a luxury I deserved to indulge and that it was okay.

Tonight while holding a dripping perfect peach in my hands, eating it while standing over the counter, each bite the exact ripeness to have a little give but not too much, and my mouth full of vanilla and peaches I contemplated going to buy more.
