If you could live in either outer space or underwater, which would you choose?

I don't know if there's really a way to live underwater rn, maybe on a submarine? and as far as I know living in space currently sucks. I think living on a submarine would be a bit more comfortable and better and you'd have more privacy and maybe even space and I think you can eat better food there, so probably that as of now. BUT this kinda sucks, if there was a way to live in outer space in like an advanced sci fi space craft like on star trek or futurama or scavengers reign or any other show that shows them I'd choose that, it's so much more interesting and It's not like I have to spend all my time underwater or flying in outer space right? I could visit all the different planets and maybe even see some outer space nature and life. It would be bit scary at times in either setting, and with being in outer space it would take longer to refill on food or water etc, but I think I'd still choose that I think this is supposed to be a fun ask and not "I'M GONNA ACTUALLY PUT YOU IN OF THOSE SETTINGS" kind of thing so I tried not overthinking it all that much and making it wayyyyyyy longer than it should be

A Stormy Nightmare

I’m gonna share this one already for y’all ahead of time bc I think today needs some Will, and I’m rather excited since it’s just been sitting completed in my drafts for ages. @yanderepuck​ @solarbit​

Summary: Will wakes up from a nightmare and it's so dark due to a storm, but he finds himself alone in his room. Hurt/comfort. (1200 words)

AO3 Link

       He heard the humming first. A cheerful melody, it contrasted sharply against the eerie silence of the church and the tempestuous weather that was brewing outside. Outside the winds were howling with rage bashing against the stained glass windows. Meanwhile Will sat despondently in an empty pew, anxiety gnawing at him as the humming got closer and closer. 

A clatter of footsteps alerted him and he raised his head to look up at the man now standing in front of him. 

He stood tall, and unwavering as he directed his gaze down at Will. Hair the color of fresh snow, it seemed to illuminate his already pale skin, giving an ethereal appearance to him.

He almost looked like an angel. 

And maybe he could have passed as such at first glance, if it weren't for his crimson irises. Hard and cold, they stared down at him emotionlessly, seemingly penetrating his very being. 

As he stepped closer, a bolt of icy fear shot though Will, paralyzing him to his seat. Was this how prey felt when cornered by a snake? 

The man smiled amusedly, as if he could read his thoughts. Reaching out, he grabbed hold of his chin, while Will could only stiffen in response. 

"What beautiful eyes you have Will." He purred. 

"One is so much like my own. Except yours was born out of pain, was it not?" 

Will didn't dare answer. 

"Do you know what must be done to a dying plant? It must be disposed of."

The hand holding his chin suddenly slid down to grip his neck, his smile twisting into a depraved expression. Will's eyes widened as he gasped. 

"I think it's past time to cut out the dead flower from this garden." 

With the final declaration, he wrapped his other hand around Will's throat, and started to squeeze. As Will desperately tried to claw at the death-like grip on his neck the pressure increased tenfold crushing his windpipe. His throat felt on fire.

He closed his eyes, awaiting the end.

It never came. 

Will woke up with a muffled scream. His hand shot up automatically to his throat, as if he could still feel the flames on the outside. He took deep shuddering breaths, slowly trying to adjust to his surroundings. He was in his bedroom, the sheets tangled and damp from his sweat. A dream. 

Outside, he could hear the storm that appeared in his dream raging outside, the noisy downpour and the booming thunder. It was unnaturally dark. The storm must have cut off the lights in the house, he realized. 

Alone, in the pitch blackness of the night, the familiar fearful anxiety started rising up, threatening to bubble over, exemplified by his nightmare. 

In an attempt to calm himself, he reached over to the other side of the bed. But he only encountered cold, empty sheets where your warm body should have been. Throwing aside the blankets, he got up in a hurry, choking out your name. Silence. Without the usual bedroom light on, he stumbled his way to his bedroom door, yanking it open. 

As he stepped out in the hallway, he tried desperately to keep the panic from his voice as he called out your name once again. 

"Will?" 

Your voice. A beacon of light in the dark. He zoned in on the beautiful sound, seemingly coming from the kitchen. And there you were, by the counter with a dozen of so unlit candles and a few already alight. 

Will didn't waste a second. He went up and grabbed you into a tight hug. Caught by surprise, you let go of the matches you were holding, letting them fall back onto the counter. 

"Will…?"

"You left the bed." he said softly. And then it clicked. The dark. 

"I'm sorry. I woke up to the lights cut off, and I figured I would get some candles lit for you. I didn't mean to leave you."

He didn't respond, and your worry started up again. It clearly wasn't just that. There had to be something more to it. But you didn't know how much to push. 

You could feel how fast his heart racing in the tight embrace he had you, and the almost imperceptible trembles racking his normally cool frame. So responded by hugging him back just as tight, in an attempt to soothe him as he took deep shuddering breaths. 

Eventually his grip on you slackened, but he still didn't let go. You took the opportunity to reach up to gently cradle his face in your hands. 

"Will...you know you can always talk to me."

Deep breaths. You stroked his cheek, occasionally pressing the softest of kisses upon his face, each one a silent prayer to draw out the pain residing in his heart. Each one seemed to have a calming effect, until his breathing slowed down. 

Newly calmed, Will finally opened his mouth to speak about what was on his mind. 

"I know not how to live with myself," he finally confessed. 

"I rather hate myself for hateful deeds committed by myself. I am a villain." he recited quietly. 

He took a deep shuddering breath and continued, the words almost spilling out now. 

"I can still hear him, sometimes in my sleep. And I fear that my dreams are not my own, for I dream of him."

He peered down at you pleadingly. In the dim light, his blood red eye seemed even darker than usual. I'm them, you saw the accumulation of the fear he tried to keep from you, with only the barest of shadows under his eyes betraying the turmoil that lay inside. 

"But most damning of all...I fear being apart from your side. That you would flee from me…See me for what I am." 

At his last words, he glanced away almost ashamed at his words, letting his hair fall over his face, as if he could hide away from your gaze. Your judgment. 

But you wouldn't do that. Instead, you turned his face towards yours, making him look at you once again. 

You couldn't begin to imagine the despair Will put himself through in all his time living in the darkness. 

While you wished you could draw it out of him, and chase away the nightmares he experienced at night, it wasn't possible. But you loved him, and for him, you would try to understand. At the very least, you would stay at his side, giving him the assurance he wanted. Collecting your thoughts, you tried to find the words that would help him. 

"I'm here for you Will, and I'll always be. You're not alone anymore."

You reached down to lace your hands with his, the newly matching bands on both of your fingers pressed against each other in a symbolic gesture. 

"I promised that to you, remember? I won't ever leave your side. We're in this together. "

Your words seemed to finally reach him, as he finally smiled back at you, a little more at peace. Then with a soft tenderness, he raised your hand up to his lips. Pressing a kiss to your ring finger, he echoed your words back to you in solemn vow. 

"Together, my love. For all eternity."

Refuse to be a decent human? Lose your house.

Warning: Very long story.

It's 2011, my boyfriend and I decided to rent a house with our best friends - an engaged couple with two kids. I'm changing names here: I'm Kylie, my boyfriend is Jim, and our couple friends are Brad and Angelina. Jim, Brad, and myself are active duty military.

After over a month of searching we found a really cute house- 1850 sqft, nice yard, great neighbors, only $1350/m, hardwood except for 1 room, 7 minutes from our base. The landlord is in a different state but tells us she pays one of the neighbors to manage the keys for her. It's a military town and that's not uncommon. We all met up with him, toured the house, decided to sign the lease.

We moved in sometime in August. We liked the house, but there were crickets coming into one of the bedrooms through a crack in the window sill. The landlord didn't want to fix it and said to caulk it. It worked, no problem.

We noticed the carpet in the living room was a little dingy and asked her if she would mind paying someone to clean it since we moved in that way. We even made a note of it and took pictures when we moved in. She said no. I bought my own cleaner and the carpet lightened a few shades.

In October, we went to cut the heat on and it didn't work. So we realized the oil tank was empty. Part of the lease states when we move out we needed to leave a full tank of oil, which isn't really a problem as long as we start with a full tank and use all the oil in it. Call the landlord and ask her to have the oil company come fill the tank - which it's 2011 so it's going to cost $1200 to do. She says no. We told her fine, we wouldn't be leaving a full tank when the lease was over though. She got mad and said we had to because it was a clause in our lease. We had the oil company provide statements to say the last time it was filled was that prior January and it was empty when they came to fill our tank that month. We filled the tank, but the heat still didn't work. It's been 2 weeks and it's really getting cold, we asked the LL to get a repairman out to the house. Brad and Angelina have two small kids that need to stay warm. My landlord took another week to fix the heat, and the people that did it were... questionable. It worked for a month, but then quit. We called in our own repairmen to come handle it since the last ones creeped me out, and he noticed some major issues with the chimney that needed attention right away. Like it was unsafe to run the heat at all, the damned thing was about to collapse. We let her know, emailed scans of the paperwork from our nice Honeywell tech and two quotes from contractors to get the work done. (it's going to be $3000-3500ish) It's an emergency repair, at the point it's December and we are really cold. We were using space heaters. The kids have chest colds and Angelina is ready to fly into our landlord's state to handle her physically. I mailed all of that information to her (Angelina's bodily threats omitted) with a signature confirmation and a letter stating the issue.

A few days pass and nothing from our bitch LL. I got onto Google and read the landlord tenant act and local landlord court cases just to see if I had a leg to stand on. I also spoke to my JAG, who's brother happened to be a real estate lawyer, who was also friends with my next door neighbor (the keyholder dude, who surprise, never got paid to watch the house) and decided to come over for dinner with all of us at their place. He gave me some really good info. The next morning, I called our landlord and told her, "look, you get this repair done or I will condemn the house and not pay a dime of rent until it's done". She says she doesn't believe me. I overnighted a certified letter to her explaining the issue and requesting the repair be started within 5 business days since it was an emergency and I had already reported it a week prior. 5 days go by, nothing. At this point I'm ready to walk out on the lease but don't have quite enough legal issues to back that up so- Jim and I requested 20 days of vacation from the military. I drafted a letter to LL telling her she had 10 days to get the repair done or we would terminate the lease, and we would not be paying rent while the heat was in disrepair. I cited the previous letter and included her signature confirmation for it also. 4 days before we go on vacation, I overnighted and signature confirmationed the letter. Two days before we are set to go on vacation I called a city building inspector, set an appointment, he came and condemned the house - it took him less than 15 minutes to decide. Brad and Angelina took off to Angelina's mom's house and Jim and I headed out to spend a few weeks in WARM, SUNNY Florida with his Cuban family. (mmmm, the food). We prorated rent for every day the house was condemned. I called the building inspector every few days to see if the work was done. He also demanded that my landlord do a few minor electrical repairs. Several days have gone by... I spent half that month's rent on good food, liquor, and Disney world tickets. On the 6th day in Florida, the landlord calls me threatening eviction. I told her to please take me to court because I was ready to embarrass her. I cited the landlord tenant act, told her I was going to sue for travel costs to FL, hotel costs, and at that point she was already looking at $850 and it was just going to get more costly. (Longshot, but, I was mad). I also said we were prepared to just walk out if it wasn't done by the time the certified letter stated it should be, again, I wasn't kidding. I had already reserved a uhaul. Oh, and she would be reimbursing me for that $1100 in oil I hadn't been able to burn. She said fine and finally replaced the chimney two weeks after the place was condemned. My neighbor told me she had to borrow money from her family to get it done. Not my problem. She also told me I was a horrible person who was torturing her and her 5 year old who were victims of domestic violence. She also told me we were only slightly better than the last tenants, who she "thought were black by how terrible the house looked when they left". Okay, wow, a slum lord and a racist - I should play the lottery. I'm sorry for your situation but your husband has been a shit to you since you got together. How do I know? Turns out, one of my supervisors is friends with her old supervisor and he and other members of her chain of command had responsed to fights where her and her husband hit each other. Apparently the husband is a drunk too. They tried to get her to leave him but she is just as bad, she busted out his windshield one time and burned all his stuff another. Turns out she got a general administration discharge. She seemed so nice and sweet when we were getting ready to sign that lease. I still can't believe what a bucket of kuku for coco puffs she turned out to be.

Whatever, we came home to a house with functioning heat. Brad and Angelina decided not to move back in but that was all cool with Jim and me. We notarized an agreement between us and told them we totally understood and would take over the rent. Missed them after they left, though.

Later on, in March, a realtor knocked on my door and said he wanted to show the house to a couple. I said, you have the wrong place buddy, I'm renting this right now. He's like no, the owner wants a short sale hopefully by July. I explained I had no notice and was a little confused but it was okay. He was very uncomfortable and unhappy to have walked into a situation where a tenant didn't even know he was coming. I told him it was totally fine, and went on to divulge some details about his new client. He was pretty appalled. He leveled with me- its a cute house but really only worth $90k due to the market crash. It had last sold for $124k, according to zuilla. She's asking for 120k and on the verge of foreclosure. Seriously? I let the couple and realtor in the next day. Didn't worry about it after that. He came to take detailed pictures so he wouldn't have to bother me with flaky potential buyers. He was so nice, I let him help me find a new house to rent when my lease was up. We are still friends on Facebook.

Then, in July the realtor called me and asked if he could show the house to a client. Absolutely. I cleaned and made sure I looked nice for her visit....and when they got to my house I noticed the lady was black. And she wanted to rent. I said, ma'am, call me later today and don't tell anyone. She did! I told her what my LL said about how she couldn't believe her past tenants were white because they left the house trashed when they left. I said, "I don't think this is a good house for you, I know a great guy who is renting out his beach side condo for the next year while he goes out to Africa, why don't you call him?" I text his listing to her, she calls him, ends up renting his house.

None of that is really revenge. Before we moved out, Jim and I cleaned the house. We left the carpets sparkling clean (had professionals come in and do it), payed a gardener to come in and make the yard spiffy, patched up some small nail holes and even painted some window trim that was chipped when we moved in. we basically left it better than we found it, we had already repainted 3 bedrooms in flattering colors when we first moved in (that was approved by the LL no problem of course). We took pictures before and after we moved in. A month goes by, we are all settled in our new condo, and she didn't give us a dime back in freaking deposit. $2400 down the damned drain, plus the cost of little repairs we made out of pocket so we couldn't have to deal with her crazy ass.

I was angry. I began organizing to go to court. Then suddenly Jim is told he's deploying soon. the fuck. A week goes by- Also, I'm pregnant. Which we were casually "not trying but trying" to do. We were happy about that part, but I was puking every day twice a day and emotional. Then Angelina calls me and guess who is on Craigslist slinging her shit hole slum? My LL. I lost it. I got on the same forum her ad was on and posted about the house, every single problem we had, every phone call, every snotty email, how many weeks we went without heat, the crickets, LL's messed up relationship with her off and on again husband, the oil tank, and the racist comments. I never said "don't rent or buy", just shared my experience as a tenant. I didn't name any names but I did link her ad. Received 7 emails thanking me stating LL seemed really nice on the phone but they would be dodging that bullet.

The house foreclosed a few months later.

Not solely is that this program about $one hundred cheaper than the common program (only about $230 earlier than coupons,) however you are additionally allowed to take two days off every seven days.

This would be so nice to keep in a closet! Yes, the food from nutrisystem is extra bland than a steak dinner from Outback (oh dear GOD, i wager a few of you're already enthusiastic about how terrible Outback is instead of understanding my level).. however it baffles me that these people truly expect hand-delivered, sizzling, contemporary nutrisystem discount gourmet meals. The other day, I acquired an electronic mail from somebody who asked if shopping for frozen meals like lean cuisine or smart ones on the grocery store would yield the same weight reduction results as the Nutrisystem eating regimen. General, the meals supplied by Nutrisystem are of fairly good high quality, so far as frozen, prepackaged meals go; nevertheless, one shouldn't expect gourmand meals. He believed me this time and even made a option to eating regimen with me. He wanted to be supportive. I usually get emails asking me to clarify how many energy are consumed or taken in each day on NutriSystem. So, it is back to the drafting board for me. I believe I'll return to the Nutrisystem diet, which I found to be a much more sustainable (if a bit costlier) weight loss plan.

Walgreen, the biggest U.S. drugstore chain, will retail NutriSystem D weight-loss program, which caters to people with type 2 diabetes who need to shed weight, NutriSystem said in an announcement on Monday. NutriSystem was one of the first to offer this handy service, transport a month's worth of meals plus snacks and eliminating the necessity to grocery shop and do prep work. For the reason that majority of meals eaten will probably be their meals, this makes this a really limited food regimen. To successfully keep weight off, one should stick with the diet plan that assisted them to scale back the pounds to begin with.

Please get on a food plan and buy contemporary groceries it's so less expensive, higher tasting and more healthy. I neededa program that was ready for me, that had no various selections and was rigid and attractive enough to fulfill me. It was better than a self-sustained program 6 , stated a customer. I used to be moody and never losing a pound yet continued to analysis the Nutrisystem blogs to see if I was doing something fallacious! I'm James Meastas a professional health trainer and working on the diet options. The auto-delivery program is great for people who desire a low-effort weight loss plan program, but it's easy to neglect to cancel this system when it's now not needed. This is not a highly restrictive weight loss plan so you don't need a prescription and docs aren't the middle man. The one time I've ever been able to try this was after I decided to get on the Nutrisystem eating regimen. One survey involving 9,600 Nutrisystem dieters confirmed that about eighty% of them said that their starvation was glad. The Medifast shakes are the mainstay of the program and, luckily, I found all of the shakes to be pretty good as well, but they do are inclined to have a faint soy aftertaste. However, in order to provide you with an thought of the kinds and high quality of meals obtainable, I'll checklist three pattern nutrisystem menus under. There are a number of guides and ideas that include the initial cargo and since I chose the custom meal plan I was allowed to pick some frozen meal and snack options. The most well-liked weight loss program selection for males is the great old low-carb/excessive-protein Atkins strategy. Many individuals are pleasantly shocked to seek out that the stability isn't as nice as they thought it would be. Most clients work it out to find that this system actually costs lower than what they normally spend on the food that made them acquire weight! It surpassed other business weight loss plan plans in multiple areas, together with short- and long-term weight reduction and the way straightforward it is to observe. I eat my small nutrisystem breakfast before going and have the smartcarb and Powerfuel snack when i get again, then lunch an hour later. In some instances you might discover that your plan can go as much as 4 hundred dollars per week. Nutrisystem takes the guess work away; no counting calories, simply open the food and enjoy! The three important meals and at the least one or more of the snacks are prepared Nutrisystem meals. Nutrisystem affords a 14-day free trial whereby the shopper can cancel and obtain a refund (less shipping costs). Per week, in keeping with Free Weight-reduction plan and Greatest Eating regimen for Me. Medifast also gives plans for diabetics. In the event you will not go to conferences, the best online-solely deal is the three-month $65 plan (with computerized month-to-month renewal at $sixteen.ninety five thereafter). Various behavioral supplies have been developed for the Nutrisystem for Teens program. That is among the explanation why there are lots of people who are into Nutrisystem.

One More Night - Chapter II

The last part of this was posted... forever ago! But I had this in my drafts for so long, so here you go! :)

Pairing: Daniel Atlas x reader Summary: They are like the sun and the moon. Chasing each other, but never quite finding each other to finally become one. Daniel and the reader are solo artists with loads of charme and character. What happens when two stubborn minds meet and are forced to work together? Words: ca. 1200 Warning: Smut

One More Night - Prologue / Part I

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Your eyes stayed fixed on the coins on your hands as you flipped them from one finger to the other, trying to get back to the speed you were able to do this with once. You'd been so busy with the organisation of your shows that you barely had time to work on your own programme. Who knew what would happen in the end? You surely wanted to keep performing magic tricks, so forgetting how to do your tricks was the last thing you wanted. 

"Rehearsing."

"I can see that... I meant to ask why?" 

Out of the corner of your eye, you could see how Atlas awkwardly stuffed his hands in the front pockets of his jeans as he approached you. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable being alone with you. Since he figured out why he teased you so much, nothing felt like before. The butterflies in his stomach made him think back to his first love, and he knew he wasn't even as nervous then as he was now. Daniel also mastered the trick you were rehearsing at this point, but he couldn't help but watch how your fingers hastily moved the coins around.

"Why do you even care?"

The small glare you gave him caused him to wrinkle his forehead at you. He knew you could be moody, but this right now wasn't you being moody. Your comments were never filled with hate or disgust, but more with a teasing or mocking undertone. You could see the confusion on his face and even though you wanted to be angry, you were hurt. 

"B- Because I thought we were friends?”

"Oh really, is that how friends talk to each other? Danny, the way you spoke to me today was not right. What do you think why the others left for a bar or why I've been avoiding you?" 

His forehead smoothed out as he came to sit next to you on the leather sofa. He fiddled with his hands, taking a deep breath before turning to face you. He sat on one of his legs as the other dangled over the edge, waiting until you decided to put your coins away and face him, too. You raised your eyebrows and stared expectantly at him, meeting his eyes in the process.

“I’m sorry. I never meant to anger you. It’s just... this is huge and I... I just really want it to work out, you know?”

You sighed and rolled your eyes, but deep down, you knew exactly what he meant. Being considered to join the eye was a massive deal, and no one wanted to fail at this point. You still had a long journey ahead of you, but these past few weeks had been so intense you felt like you’ve been working for this your entire life.

“I know, trust me I do. We’re all stressed, Daniel, and sometimes we need to let go for a little or we’re going to break before we even make it.”

Daniel averted his gaze from you and stared at the TV hanging on the wall, slowly nodding his head. The pout on his lips was very prominent as he thought of your words. He wasn’t used to this kind of working, but he’d try. For the group and for his chance of joining the eye in the end. The moment he focused his eyes back on you, something had changed. They weren’t their regular blue anymore, but darker. There was a spark in them you couldn’t quite assign.

“What?”

The question stayed unanswered as his mouth parted and his forehead wrinkled in thought. Your focus remained on his pink lips and on how soft they looked, and before you knew it, you both pounced on each other and pressed your lips together.

It was a cliché movie scene, but it was like an alarm had gone off in your head, telling you to wrap your arms around him and press yourself as close to his body as physically possible. His warm breath hit your face and his strong hands gripped your hips as he shifted your body so you could straddle his waist. Danny’s large hands splayed across your back whilst yours disappeared in his hair. You pulled and scratched his scalp as he dug his fingers into your heated skin.

His lips. All you could really think about were his plump lips on yours, moving desperately as if this was his last kiss on earth. 

Your fingers fumbled with the hem of his shirt before he reluctantly pulled away and tore it off. You followed suit, throwing the fabric behind you. Again, Atlas’ hands gripped your hips as he pushed you back against the couch. He hovered above you and for a second, he just stared at you. His hands groped your breasts before he pulled your bra down, exposing your boobs. As he lowered his head, you closed your eyes and dug your fingers back in his hair, guiding his mouth to one of your nipples. You moaned as his warm tongue swiped over it, his teeth scratching along the erected nub. 

His mouth cherished your nipples as his hands caressed your thighs. The remaining fabric disappeared in no time and before you knew it, Danny’s erection pressed against your center. 

“You’re beautiful.” 

He murmured in your ear. His teeth caught your earlobe and you raked your nails down his back, thrusting your hips up against him. 

“Atlas!” 

You hissed as his hips stayed still. You could feel him pulsating against you, but he made now sign to move. Even as you wrapped your legs around his waist and grabbed his ass, he kept his hips still. Warm lips nipped on your neck whilst nimble fingers played with your erect nipples. 

Danny took his time, teasing and worshipping every inch of your body before he finally eased into you. You threw your head back in pleasure and sighed once he bottomed out. Danny bit your shoulder to keep still as he waited until you adjusted to his size. 

You experimentally moved your hips and you groaned in unison as pleasure ran through your bodies. Danny kept a steady rhythm, hitting spots no one had ever reached before. You both reached your peak embarrassingly fast, but neither of you stopped as your orgasm washed over you. Your toes curled and your vision went white, but the delicious stretch and the warm hands on your hips guided you through. 

The moment both of you caught your breath, it started to dawn on you what had just happened. You just slept with one of your colleagues, with Danny, the one that got on your nerves more than anyone ever before. The one you had hopelessly fallen in love with. The one who would never love you back, because just as his Tarot card had said, he was the perfect lover, but nothing more and nothing less. A lover who knew how to make a woman feel loved, but only for one night, though. 

With that thought in your head, you awkwardly collected your clothes and went to your rooms, neither of you expecting much sleep that night.
