chapt 8; whiskey neat, coffee black 🚒🥃

“Do you, uh…” Gale turned on his heel, facing Bucky again, his expression heavy-lidded in the half-light of the streetlights from outside spilling in through the window, and caught somewhere between caution and come hither. God, he was so beautiful it was unworldly. “Do you want something to drink, or…”. Bucky smirked, sensing his nerves. “Some guys just don’t know how to leave work at work, huh?” He shook his head, and Gale offered him a reluctant smile in return for the joke, but didn’t make any move further. Suddenly the air felt a little more breathable. But only a little. “I think you’ve poured me enough drinks at this point,” Bucky continued, making a choice. “Come here.”

Imagine fighting with fans for ratings/attendance numbers. Imagine having nothing else to do with your life than doing this. Can’t relate.

someone asked for the kind of songs RPD would play in the band au, so this is a very random, very rough playlist :'D

i wanted pretty basic rock stuff but also some things with violin and bagpipes and idk banjo and mandolin lol. so there's some folk-y vibes, but also just straightforward rock, and also some random pop/techno songs i felt vibed with them lol.

so yeah. something along these lines, except obviously with a female vocalist (Jill ftw!) and I apologize for the randomness of my taste in music :'D

Actually I don't think I'm gonna publish that post afterall, half cuz I don't wanna rewrite it and half cuz judging by the posts I've seen a lot of people have already said what I was going to anyway- so here's a condensed version- and this is mostly just me getting some stuff out of my system tbh lol

I still really do not get why the server didn't close down for longer/do a hiatus, it just genuinely seemed like the most logical solution from every angle: a financial one, a burn-out one, a reconstruction one, and to strengthen credibility and trust- instead they just kept things going again as soon as they could and it just felt so careless and so cruel to the employees who'd been let go with no explanation or those left in limbo unsure if they still even had a job or not. It also was just not fun at all watching a server that felt like a soulless zombie-shell of it's former self.

I get needing to let go of the egg admins- I'd much rather say goodbye then have them strung along underpaid/not paid at all solely because fan loves them and they rake in views.

That said I wish the goodbye streams were better planned and it's a bitter feeling knowing some of the eggs won't ever get to say goodbye

Somewhat related to above, what Cherry (Em's admin) said on stream REALLY does not give me any hope that this new team will be any better then the last- At the very least I'm glad Cherry has the other former admins and Bagi there to support her.

same goes for the twitter translators who were canned and replaced with AI- like I can get those teams being cut because those roles were imo a LOT to ask out of an employee and not sustainable- it's the way they went about it that leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth and makes me worry that there could be more fired employees who were treated similarly.

I still really do not know how to feel about the reset especially since we don't know anything about it- Common thought seems to be it is happening on the 24th which like...first of all why is this happening so soon why are you so obsessed with rushing back into things stop it- second of all... I just don't know if I feel comfortable sticking around for it cuz like I said above right now I don't feel like I can trust this new team not to repeat the same shit the past one did (and I'll most likely miss it anyway since I work that day of fucking course LOL)

I don't hate this project, I don't want to root for it's failure, I don't want it all to fall apart- I wanted it to get better- I'm critical of it because I wanted it to be better for everyone. I'm beyond devastated with how this turned out, all the wasted potential from every angle just eats me up inside, I truly thought things were going to get better. A naive hurt part of me is always gonna wish that things do get better and maybe somehow the stories I loved so dearly will somehow come back... but that is such copium lmao

I'm probably still gonna lurk around because I love the community on here and because I am morbidly curious to see what they're gonna do with this project next... I don't think I'll watch personally, but I'll keep up with the liveblogs. I stopped my queue awhile back cuz I felt so bad about the server and everything, but I'm gonna reopen it soon. Even though I still feel too bitter rn to look back on it all fondly I still want to support a talented resilient community that deserved better.

I wish I could feel better about it all, but I'm not gonna waste time getting my hopes up.

vvvv mini rant to delete later vvvv

Some people have really never gotten the ‘watch what you say on the internet cause that shit is forever’ or the ‘nothing on the internet is private even if it’s sold to you that way’ lectures that were drilled into me in the early 2000s.

I’m begging everyone to take a few seconds to reflect on what they type before hitting post. Maybe do some self-reflection too, especially if you’re about to post about a topic you know is controversial or sensitive.

Not to be victim blame-y, but it’s way easier to protect yourself then to prevent someone from being cruel and malicious. Especially, on the internet.

prompt: “ i love you. you don’t have to say anything, i just thought you should know. ” — Charlie to Defne type: 1x1 for: @outfromthesea on discord

Even though she signed up for this whole ‘find a soulmate’ event, Defne still finds it a little overwhelming at times. Living with someone new and being told she’s supposed to be with them forever feels a bit confusing and almost suffocating at first.

She wants to make it work between her and Charlie, but at the same time, she’s always been a little scared of being with one person her whole life. So the idea of a soulmate is terrifying – until one day, it’s not. Until one day, she’s gotten comfortable with her routine with her soulmate and has fallen in love with him.

Sure, she’s always thought he was handsome, but on that day, she really thinks he’s cute and she really thinks he’s funny and she really just wants to be around him. And as she sits with him at their dinner table, after having surprised him with dinosaur nuggets that aren’t exactly the correct shape, she laughs when he points that out. 

“I’m glad they set us up together, you know?” she says with smile, blushing just a little bit. “I feel like anyone else would’ve gotten their heartbroken with me, because I would’ve probably thought this was too much. But you, you, I really do like being around you.” She dips her dinosaur nugget in ranch and takes a bite, then chews. 

Then he speaks. “ i love you. you don’t have to say anything, i just thought you should know, Goldie. ” 

She smiles a little wider at the nickname, since he'd said it had to do with her smile reminding him of the sun, and she eats another nugget.

Then, after some silence, she finally says it, “Yeah, well, I love you, too – the only person on this planet who’s a bigger nerd than I am.” Right before noticing she’s out of nuggets, so she steals one of his, and he laughs, before saying ‘hey’ and letting her get away with it.

Can't stop thinking about blonde Chan sucking on the nipples while crushing me

nsfw 18+ (minors dni)

asdfghjkl anon. bestie. please. the way that chan would be obsessed with your tits and how sensitive they are. he loves to squeeze and fondle them but his favorite thing to do by far would be to suck on them. he could spend hours on top of you, just laying on you while licking and nibbling every square inch of your breasts, paying extra close attention to sucking on your hardened nipples. his fluffy blonde curls would occasionally gently brush across your bare chest, making you giggle from how ticklish it is. he loves when your body presses up against his when you arch your back in pleasure. it turns him on so much that he can't help but grind his hips into the mattress. and when you moan his name, tangling your fingers in his blonde locks and tugging slightly??? he thinks he could cum on the spot :(

anywaaaaaaaays thanks for putting this beautiful idea into my head, lovely anon!

Hello, so taking your offer about the NOLA questions, though it might be more speculation than anything (or maybe not, I've only seen the show and the 1994 movie and not the books so who knows). I'm from Brazil and I only know NOLA from movies and TV shows really, but there are some social and cultural aspects that feel somewhat similar to my country... Brazil has a large Black population, famous musical genres, traditional dishes etc created by Black people and even though most of the country is Christian (specially Catholic), non-Abrahamic, Afro-Brazilian religions are quite present here too. Now, I'm not religious at all, I have a weird and maybe even complicated relationship with religion/faith/spirituality in general, maybe for being queer and neurodivergent, but that's another convo lol... But I do think it's nice to represent other kinds of faith. I know most of the main characters were raised Catholic, but do you think they could do that on the show with Africa diaspora religions to some extent? Even if it isn't the main focus? And do you think they could do it in a respectful way that doesn't feel like dismissing, stereotyping and demonizing them like we see on fiction (specially fantasy) all the time? Obviously, I'm not making assumptions about your religion or if you even have one, and if you don't know what to answer it's okay, I just think this is an interesting topic that nobody ever talks about. Specially when it comes to American media, because it seems to be more based on Christianity and Judaism, but having a show that is so heavily set in NOLA could maybe explore other types of faith we barely get to see. I think it could be a good opportunity if they can do it right. Anywaaaaaaaay lmao, sorry I rambled so much and this got too long. 😅 Thank you. 🙃

Hi!!!!!! Thank you for your question!!! It wasn’t too long, I loved reading every line.

I think the similarities between black cultures is fascinating, even if our people are separated by entire continents.

As for the inclusion of folk religion into the show, I’m setting that at a firm “maybe…?”. In the 1994 movie and in the original book, voodoo, or voodun, is loosely included. Anne Rice took mild inspiration from that part of New Orleans culture but I think it might be a bigger part of the Mayfair witches, I don’t know.

Louis is a creole Catholic but as an upper class man he wouldn’t have participated in what we call “African folk Catholicism” , considering the time period he was introduced in. Like Brazil, New Orleans has a version of Catholicism heavily informed by the African diaspora. in the show, he attends historically majority black church. St Augustine has always been the church where free people of color and even slaves attended mass.

So Louis’s religion is probably more in line with traditional Catholicism. St Aug as I know it does not perform any rituals outside of typical mass. If season 3 is in the modern era, I’m not sure if the voodoo informed practices would be included. I do trust the showrunners to be accurate and informed, it just probably won’t be necessary to the plot. I’m not sure.
