Yandere Batfam x Camp half-blood (Neglected reader)

DC x Pjo

Part 6

This had like a huge timeskip

___________________________

It's been 3 months Since you decided to stay at camp

It's been so good, the camp is quiet, since it's school year right now, it's currently October, the weather outside doesn't really affect the camp but it's chilly, the good kind

Percy and Annabeth have been sending you photographs of their schools, since you can't go to school anymore

Because you're "dead"

Still even if you're not studying, no way you're gonna let them get ahead of you, so you spent an entire day carving an Athena statue

You got a bunch of food from the Cornucopia as offerings

Then you pray "Lady Athena, may you please guide me, I need books on grade 6 studies.... Please?"

For good measure you decided to place a drachma on the statue

"I- I want to study... And uhhh, I've never really prayed to a god before- I mean what kind of god would - okay going off topic, I want to learn because I don't want to feel helpless anymore, I've been there, never again, so if- you could help me... I'd appreciate it, but you don't have to if you don't want- sooo... Yeah I guess, do I say amen? Um bye"

"didn't think a child of Aphrodite would ever be interested in learning"

"AH!" You yelp as a voice appears behind you

" 'Thena can you not sneak up on children, that's fucking creepy"

You tilt your head "Mr. D???"

"kid next time you want to study just bother Chiron, there's legal procedures to this kinds of things" he groaned

You were about to apologize but then Athena spoke up for you "Nonsense, if she wants an education is it not reasonable to get it from the best?"

She turns to you "kid, what do you want to know about?"

With great determination you say "I want to know everything I can manage to learn"

"really?" She smirked

"Yes. Whatever you can teach me, how to use an abacus, what body part do you stab someone to kill them in an instant, how to crochet, whatever you can teach"

"yeah while you two are at it can you teach her how to undo my punishment" Mr D opens another new diet coke

______________________________

"Gods- Wait crap" you collapse on the floor

4 fucking hours now, she's been training you for four hours, Mr D had finished 55 diet cokes watching and laughing at you

Out of every fight, she wins, of course she does, out of every train, sparring, archery and everything she made you try

"new rule, all you have to do is make sure this cloth touches me, whether it be a momentary graze or wrap it around me, it just needs to make contact, and I will try to push you out of bounds" she says pulling out a blue cloth and a bunch of rocks and twigs form a square

You didn't think it'd be easy, at all, she'd dodge and dodge and dodge

You lunge at her and change direction to where she's going, but she flies instead

The sun is going down, and Athena flies down and kicks you near the bounds

"AHHH! ow! Shit!" Your form looks disfigured, your arm is under your body and it doesn't look good

You cry, tears coming out as you try to not scream "I fell the wrong way, I-" you sob on the ground

"Shit, Thena what did you do?!?" Mr D stands up

"I'm sorry- I didn't, help please...." You scream in pain

Athena teleports to you and kneels, she turns to Mr D "I'll call on Apollo to heal her arm and-" she stops talking

She stops talking as she feels a silky texture on her cheeck

With wide eyes she looks at you, and your smug smile, that stupid smile

"I finally won against you" you stand up and dust yourself off

You can't beat the goddess of wisdom, but- you can trick her

"huh..." She says

Mr D spikes his diet coke on the ground "(name) go fuck yourself"

I'm about to take a test rn, it's mathematics 😀

Anyways enjoy the chapter:3

SPIDEYPOOL SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX. THEY HAVE SEX. 🙏

These little words, somehow they're changing us

Peter's hands were slow, wandering around the others body "we gonna do this with the masks on?" He asked careful as his hands slipped to the back of the others neck, for once Wade was quiet, "take yours off spidey. I would like to see whos fucking me." He joked, clearly fighting whatever his head was saying, instead of piping back with a remark, Peter nodded and moved his hands to slide his mask off to the floor.

Wade's hands moved to caress the others face, Peter leaned in, kissing where his lips would be under the mask the taller slid his hands down the others back to his ass. ‘We shouldn’t be doing this, once we take this off he’ll see us,’ “You don’t have to take it off” Peter smiled tipping the others head to bite at his neck, this was far more vulnerable than they had ever been, Peter had seen his face, he had seen Peter’s but now they were pressed up against each other and kissing.

Wade reached around and unzipped the others suit, “there you go” Peter smiled undoing the taller’s suit as well, the shorter moaned “fuck, we shouldn’t be doing this,” Deadpool muttered but didn’t move to pull away from the other. The spider smiled and gently guided the other to let himself fall against the bed, Wade felt the webs slink around his wrists, tying them together. "Let me know when you want to stop babe," the taller paused at the pet name, spidey had never given him a pet name.

Peter's hands slid over the scarred skin, not shying away from the texture, he would never bring himself to be disgusted by the skin. It had been hurt, torn, ripped and yet it still remained, it was kind of beautiful, if it all had been under better circumstances. "We should get food after this," Wade moaned out when the other bit his neck again "try not to ruin the mood, I'd rather not think about you and chimichangas again." "Oh, ho ho, again? You thought of little ole me and my chimichangas before?"

The tone in Wade's voice made Peter groan, "if you don't shut up I swear" "what, you gonna fuck me? Because I assumed that's what we were doing, you have me pinned to my own bed after all." Peter hated the man under him, he was insufferable but so easy to make whine "actually I wanted to leave you here while I go shopping, can't break the webs if you don't have your knifes big boy." It was mocking but man did it make his heart swell.

Wade pressed his lips together and gave his best 'I'm sorry' eyes to Peter who rolled his eyes in response but leaned down to kiss the other anyway "fuck, take it off" Deadpool whispered looking up at the man above him "are you sure?" "Take it off before I back out," he said shuffling, Peter quickly moved his hands to pull the mask up, exposing the others lips, he pressed their lips together. One hand gripping the red mask while the other was gently placed against his throat.

"All the way off webs," Wade panted moving his cuffed hands around the shorter's neck, Wade didn’t move when the mask was fully off, he couldn’t. He needed to focus on Peter, his lips against his.

I was gonna write more but i’ll rant forever so enjoy <3

【 h.c. 】 ー "food = survival" (food trauma)

　　　(cw: disordered eating, food talk.)

　been having back-and-forth with @belovedcorvid the last few days about the bird brothers™ and how their relationship with food was absolutely altered due to those formative childhood years being forced to eat garbage (as well as probably bugs, plants, or anything in the woods that looked vaguely edible) & steal to survive.

and we discovered that both birds, like everything else in their lives, had complete opposite trauma responses; rabbit's rocinante is more-or-less food avoidant because the act of eating is generally uncomfortable outside of specific tastes & textures, whereas i feel like doflamingo would be gluttonous when it came to food. basically, they can hardly stand to eat in the same room as each other because their eating habits are so opposite that it makes them either sick or irrationally angry.

-

it started with the realization that, although rosinante was only forced to survive by eating garbage & stealing for that two year period before being taken in by sengoku, doflamingo continued to eat garbage & steal. at least for another 3-5 years until his gang was established. because they were the ones looking to doflamingo to get them out of poverty, not the other way around, their first headquarters was is a garbage dump.

pair that with him being in a rough environment and his general desire to survive no matter what (ie. he can't survive if he dies of starvation), he'll eat almost anything without complaint. ate his entire devil fruit, stem & all, for sure.

almost anything. he has one specific food trigger (that he has tried to overcome for years for the sake of his "food = survival" mindset, but he just can't do it) which is barbecue or any slow-cooked meats. any meat with char on it, tooーreally, any meat that is drier than medium-rare is probably pushing it.

pretty sure it was just a dark joke made by oda about him almost being immolated as a child, but since i've already headcanoned that as the worst/most humiliating experience of his entire life, i'd say the memories being enough to make him repulsed by the thought is valid.

more about his other specific behaviors (food aggression, compulsive overeating, food waste anxiety) under the cut.

food aggression: i don't know if there's a human equivalent to this phrase because i've only ever seen it used when describing animal behavior when they become territorial over their foodーbut he has whatever that is. his food is his food; he doesn't share, he doesn't let people eat things off his plate, and if you try to take away 'finished' plates without his say so, or eat the last bite of any dish at his table (at least without asking permission first) he'll get irritated at best and furious at worst. really kind of just depends how hungry he is because, the hungrier he gets, the more his brain slips into the "survival mode" from when he was a child. same goes for pantry/snack foods he enjoys. even if he has no immediate plans to eat it, if you don't ask him first so he at least knows that food is not going to be there next time he seeks it outーthat's his food. he was saving it. how dare you eat it. so, i guess "food hoarding" can be tacked onto this point, too.

compulsive overeating: i generally see & write doflamingo as a hedonistic pleasure demon (he drinks, he parties, he's hypersexual, etc.) so him having a habit of overeating definitely tracksーbut it's not a hedonism thing. it's ironic considering his business partnership with cesar & kaido has indirectly contributed to the starvation of thousands of people, but he has an irrational fear of food scarcity. even when he's a rich as fuck crime lord & king with his own walk-in pantry and multiple fridges, it's never quite gone anyway. every meal may as well be his last meal so he's going to eat like a hibernating grizzly bear and stuff himself to the point of sicknessーeven past sickness sometimes, if he's in a particularly weird headspace or he's having his first meal really late in the day because he was too busy. big portions. double portions. triple portions, even. very rarely will he turn down food offered to himーusually only if he's sick, too busy to eat, or if it's his one food trigger. otherwise... yeah, just hibernating grizzly bear energy.

food waste anxiety: somehow, i keep finding ways to compare doflamingo & sanji, so me seeing him having a general hatred of wasting food tracks. they both had periods in their childhood where they were starving and had to covet what little food they could find, so it makes sense to me. though, dare i say, i think doflamingo would be a little more unhinged about it. because, when normal people talk about not wasting food, they usually just mean finish your plate, don't throw stuff on the floor, don't let food spoilーwhich doflamingo agrees with, don't get me wrong. he does. if you don't finish food in front of him (especially if it's food he offered you) he'll want to wring your neck. but... 'wasting food' to him also extends to not wasting edible food scraps. if it's edible, he will eat it (or at least have it turned into something else, like a broth). including, but not limited to: banana peels, orange peels, cheese rinds, apple cores, watermelon rinds, potato peels, and vegetable stalks, stems, or leaves. basically, there's this fanart of doflamingo smoking a cigarette with rosinante and, after he's done, he just... eats it. that's the vibe. that's what eating with doflamingo feels like. just... horror, and confusion, and you can tell something is mentally wrong with him just based on the way he eats

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Trolls

So uhhhhh this movie. Kind of took me by surprise??? I went in expecting to hate this, thinking it would be annoyingly loud and bright and simple. What I got... wasn't quite what I thought it would be. Let's get into it.

The Trolls are a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky race of singing and dancing creatures, though they're constantly at ends with the miserable Bergens who want to eat them to get a taste of happiness. After escaping from the Bergens 20 years ago, the Trolls are thriving, until they're discovered by the ousted Bergen Chef, who captures a handful of Princess Poppy's friends, so she sets out with the perpetually grumpy Branch to rescue them. Along the way, they discover there may be a way to bring happiness to the Bergens and save their fellow Trolls alike.

So yeah, a very fantastical, fairy-taleish plot, one that took a few actually interesting, unexpected twists and turns. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a very complicated film, it wears its message of "Happiness is inside you" on its sleeve shamelessly. And yet... I don't know how, but it managed to... genuinely engage me?

Yeah, seriously. I actually kind of liked this? I don't know if it was because the emotions actually managed to hit or if I found the Bergens to be compelling antagonists/anti-heroes or if I started to really enjoy the dynamic between Poppy and Branch or what but like... fuck. Trolls is actually kind of ok? I feel like I'm going crazy just saying that. Like LOOK at that image up there and tell me that's the kind of movie anyone over the age of 6 would enjoy. And yet... I sort of did?

The movie, however, is certainly not without its faults. Its a jukebox musical and that's really not my cup of tea. The pop songs they picked for this are... tolerable, I guess, but hearing a lot of them kind of abruptly pulled me out of the plot so damn fast. Like I said, this is also a very simple movie, one with simple humor (save for a few insane adult jokes I couldn't believe they managed to sneak in there), and simple characters.

Poppy is... ok. She's kind of a bit too perpetually upbeat and cheery for me and yet she's not too over the top like I'd feared she'd be. By contrast, I really liked Branch! He's the straight man to literally all of the other Trolls around him and his dry sarcasm brought a lot of texture to what would have otherwise been a zany, goofy cast. The Bergens do much of the same, from the conflicted King Gristle, to the lovestruck scullery maid Bridget, to our villain, the insane, girlboss Chef, who just stole the show whenever she was on screen.

The visuals in this are also really nice? Like yes, its agressively bright and colorful but it works, I think? Like everything in this world feels like its made out of felt and fabric, very soft and fuzzy to the point that you can practically feel it. The designs for some of these creatures and backgrounds is actually really pretty in their own unique way? Of course, this is coming from someone who likes a lot of color anyway. If you like something a little more grounded visually, this probably isn't the movie for you.

So yeah, Trolls was... ok. Again, I'm fucking shocked, because I'd always been lead to believe this was Dreamworks in their peak cynical cashgrab era but... there's something to this movie that I didn't expect would be there. It's not fantastic by any means, but it has... some substance. And based on what I knew about this film going in, that's certainly more than I was expecting.

Overall Rating: 6/10

Verdict: SINGING KILLED YOUR GRANDMA

we want the charles hcs mia

of course

he's autistic. duh. but I think he had a lot more symptoms as a child and was Very Difficult. and bc people didn't rly know about autism back then I think his parents tried their best but ultimately were at a loss as to what to do with his stimming and sensory issues etc. so as he grew he learned the effect his oddities have on people, and how they perceive him as a black/native man as well. and that's part of the reason why he's so aloof and distant. isolating for protection and also so he doesn't have to put as much effort into masking. which he barely does anyway but whatever

adding on to Charles as a child. he was really into bugs. a gentle giant of a kid and loved little crawlies. and I think he got picked on by other ppl as a kid bc he was odd and big and different looking but kind, but some kid killed a bug he was keeping as a pet and charles punched him and then was treated differently after that

he hates nicknames. the only people that ever called him Charlie were his parents and no one else is allowed (except for bloom Isaac hehe). not chuck either

he whittles sticks in game but I think he carves little statues and spoons and stuff. he wants to get into woodworking but he's never lived in a house he can make furniture for :(

I know he'd be such a sweet dad. awkward but very sweet and gentle

gets insomnia. this is bc whenever I stalk him in game he never fuckin sleeps. I've only seen him in his jammies like once or twice

him and Arthur 🤝 farting in bed all night

I think it's established that Charles doesn't really believe what dutch says but I think he HATES listening to him talk for more than 2 mins. he can only tolerate dutch in small doses. he appreciates what the gang stands for + the other people in it + safety in numbers a lot more than whatever ideology Dutch has cooked up this week

also he had a lisp as a child

I think he's such a pathetic weirdo that the gang found in a sopping wet cardboard box. he's so lonely but doesn't know how to talk to people (doesn't enjoy it half the time anyway) but he's just secretly desperate for human connection and that's why he stays w the gang thru all this stuff, simply bc it's the first home he's had since he was a child and he doesn't want to be alone again. he works himself into the ground with all the chores to show the gang that he's useful so they don't leave him

in a modern world he'd be a terrible fucking driver. inspired by the epilogue mission where he says "I'll drive" and proceeds to run over 3 pedestrians. he hits every curb, he can't parallel park, he doesn't signal, and he can't drive a manual. yet he doesn't understand how he's a bad driver and gets offended if someone tells him so

his least favourite food is cottage cheese (texture)

bisexual and vers but bottom-leaning. he's just happy to be there

likes his partners to be strong or have some meat on their bones just so he knows he won't break them or anything lol

speaking of sex. um. I have a rule that I have to give all my beloved characters some weird fetish or kink to humble them. soo Charles likes sniffing pits. sorry

much more impatient and quick to anger than people give him credit for. he just has better restraint than other characters and can act reasonably when he wants to. but he's just as eager for a fight as the next guy

he's not very nice either I don't know where this perception of him being overly kind and patient comes from. he's not nice and he's not mean either. he embodies this emoji 😐

that's it for now I think. my disjointed collection of Charles thoughts

[psystirene]

What RW scugs would taste like blended into a smoothie

Survivor: Vanilla Yogurt. Factory setting of a scug, factory setting of a smoothie (/milkshake at this point)

Monk: Coconut+Banana+Vanilla. Consider this, Vanilla is the flavor of their sibling (makes sense), they themselves are banana-coded, and the coconut is just in there for extra zest. Is it somewhat basic? Yes. Because Monk is somewhat basic. (By the way I know most smoothies involve Banana, but if I say Banana then it's specifically flavored as such)

Hunter: Lemon+Strawberry+Ginger. Hunter can't just taste normal- Honestly, realistically, it would be nasty- Because of the Rot, y'know. Anyways, bitter, a smidge spicy, but still red/pink with smoothie sweetness.

Nightcat: Sesame+Blueberries. Just about as black as a smoothie can get. Not very sweet; the taste overall just isn't all that intense. Most interesting feature is the texture. Alternatively, Oreo milkshake! But you know. That's licherally just a milkshake.

Gourmand: PB+Peach+Mango+Yogurt. The return of the yogurt flavor, not because of any relation, I just think Gourmand would be a thicker smoothie (/milkshake.. again). Creamy flavor yk. Same reason for the (smidge of) peanut butter... The fruit are both round and exude good vibes. I could also see Melon or Honeydew btw.

Rivulet: Battery Acid. Okay maybe he'd have blue raspberry flavor or something, but it would definitely be synthetic-feeling. Put some sour powder in there. Or some salt. Some energy drink in there. What the fuck is this drink???? Is it a milkshake??? a smoothie???? an affront to all that is holy??? FUCK IF I KNOW I don't make drinks

Spearmaster: Grape+Watermelon. A light and fresh drink... To perhaps be enjoyed with long biscuits, or perhaps some white chocolate sticks (whatever you call those). You can use it to drink your prescription medicine, just like Spearmaster after going to their therapist!

Artificer: Pomegranate+Blackberry+Cayenne Pepper. An honestly slighty fucked up smoothie with a deep red color. Doesn't go easy on the spice, more than you'd expect from just Cayenne, probably. The more it makes you feel like YOUR spit can turn a spear explosive, the better <3

Saint: Kale+Avocado+Banana. Yes this is a type of smoothie that exists... Kinda?? Anyways, it probably sorta tastes like grass, it's filling and could probably count as a dinner smoothie perhaps? It won't really keep you warm, it's a smoothie after all, but maybe you'll turn green afterwards

Enot: Mystery Sauce. It tastes different the longer it's in your mouth, and then the aftertaste is yet again something different. It kind of tastes like medicine, yet sweet, yet also flat sometimes. Thick smell and kinda looks oily <:(

Reblog if you want me to blend the iterators next /j More seriously idk what came over me so I may never do this again uhm. thumbs up

[xiv-wolfram]

Saw this on Twitter and thought it was cool, so I answered them for Wolfram. 😁

1. Favorite Vegetable - Cauliflower. Specifically roasted, fried, or in curries. 😋

2. How many blankets on bed? - One, which he will hog if it's cold.

3. Do they know how to set a table? - He worked at inns, so yes, but also that's really dependant on culture so he would probably adjust depending on where he was and ask questions if he didn't know.

4. If they had to dye their hair another color, what would it be? - Something unnatural - maybe teal or deep purple? But he prefers his natural black hair.

5. Generally how much would they tip at a restaurant? - As long as they didn't do anything majorly wrong? 20% minimum every time.

6. What gas station food do they buy for themselves? - Flaming Hot Cheetos and coconut water.

7. What gas station food do they buy for someone else? - Whatever they ask for? I bet Raubahn likes beef jerky.

8. Least Favorite Smell - Burning flesh, it's kind of a lesser trigger. 😅🥹

9. Is there something distinct about their teeth? - Other than the miracle that they're all still intact? No.

10. What pyramid scheme are they most likely to fall for? - None, he's naturally pretty suspicious of that kind of thing. If someone was begging on the street without needing the money he would definitely fall for that.

11. Favorite Soup - Chili (fight me!) 😈

12. Least Favorite Instrument - Does not exist, he loves music. Favorite is guitar.

13. They buy 5 things at the grocery store. What are they? - Chicken thighs, tomatoes, onions, chilis, garam masala.

14. What temperature so they keep their thermostat at? - IRL would be 69 (winter, laughing as he sets it), 72 (summer). Raubahn turns it up when he's not looking though. 😂

15. In what order do they get dressed? [socks, underwear, pants] - Underwear, shirt, pants, socks, jacket, weapons. ⚔️

16. Favorite Tree - 😏 After that NSFW shoot I have to say Palm trees...

18. Do they have any food allergies, or the cilantro gene? - No allergies but he does suffer from the cilantro gene. 😔

19. How do they kiss? [Chaste, too much tongue.] - I guess he's a bit of a lip sucker/nibbler? Often giving forehead, neck, and shoulder kisses as well. Also why is this on the list? 😳

20. How do they handle an awkward moment in front of others? - Cracks a joke, trying to lighten the mood. It is often inappropriate and completely backfires. 😅

21. What is the gross habit they have but no one knows about? - Doesn't sweep up clipped nails. 🤷‍♀️

22. Would they be able to parallel park? - Yes, eventually, but a bit stressful so he avoids it.

23. What is a niche YouTube genre they would enjoy? [asmr, mukbang, etc] - He'd definatley be addicted to recipe videos. Notifications enabled for Epicurious. 👨‍🍳

24. If they were going to make fun of someone, what would it be for? - He's very sarcastic, so just about anything. He likes teasing Raubahn and knows how to make him blush so will often whisper things to him before he has to give a speech. Very amused watching his husband trying to collect his thoughts while addressing a crowd. 🤭

25. Favorite Swear Word - Fuck 👍

26. Least Favorite Book - He doesn't read much. Uh... I guess that old Mhachi tome he read to summon the voidsent that killed his family? 😅🥹

27. An aspect they do not like about their partner but love them anyway for? - Sometimes Rau talks down about himself, which Wolf hates to hear since he disagrees but tries to listen anyway so he can give him some words of affirmation after. 😌

28. Favorite Jewelry - RINGS. He wears multiple on each hand. Good thing he's not a pugilist like his mom was. 🤜

29. Least Favorite Texture/Fabric - That really scratch weaved wool. Also, burlap. 😬

[liptonrm]

The summer got away from me and then I went camping for a couple days and now WoT season two is only, like, a day away! And I've still got 3 more episodes to rewatch!

Anyway, time to pop some bottles because it's episode six and Moiraine x Siuan is about to go canon.

Watching Siuan being forced to leave her father is heartbreaking.

There was an interesting meta about patriarchy and patriarchal violence in the Wheel of Time books and, while so many leaders are world leaders are women and the Aes Sedai, the most powerful people in that world, are all women, there's still a bunch of in-world gendered stereotypes and violence that seem to stem more from our world's sensibilities than that world's. Which, yes, I'm sure a bunch of it did come down to some of RJ's unconscious biases.

BUT the show is doing an interesting job of highlighting the push-pull of power and trust. In the last episode we had Liandrin talking about how little girls are still hurt, even though the Aes Sedai exist, like one doesn't negate the other. Also in that episode we had the Whitecloaks, through Eamon Valda, talking about how no one with that amount of power can be trusted, regardless of whether the power is corrupted or not.

Now we see tiny little Siuan being sent away, not because her father doesn't love and trust her, but because the people around her don't. If she's going to live, she has to leave. Which is just heartbreaking. No wonder so many Aes Sedai only trust their sisters in Saidar.

Practicing knots and practicing weaves. Basically the same thing, really.

He knows he'll never see his daughter again.

You ever think about how lucky we are that Rosamund Pike decided to champion this series? Because I do, every time I watch.

I want to think the costumers, productions designers, and VFX artists who made Tar Valon look so fucking cool.

Women in the Tower Guard is an excellent touch. Four for you, R2J2.

They're giving so much texture and depth to Logain. I love to see it.

Aaah, Liandrin grandstanding, throwing Moiraine under the bus. This scene is an excellent way to introduce Tower politics.

The Hall did not consent to be apart of Siuan and Moiraine's roleplay.

Though Liandrin's definitely enjoying it.

Oh man, it's the tea shop. Where's the meme, woman drinking tea, thinking about getting railed by Siuan Sanche.

Bless Rand's heart.

I'm really curious to see what the angle's gonna be re: Mat and the dagger in season two.

Moiraine really doesn't have the patience for Tower politics. I do not blame her.

Omg, I didn't remember that Maigan mentioned travelling to investigate the Seanchan. That's, ummmm, not a great idea.

Egwene is vicious and righteous. Perfection.

Plots within plots. Schemes within schemes.

Omg the way Moiraine smiles with Lan says "Giver her my love." She's so excited to see Siuan. ���🥰

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. 🍾🍾🎉

The both started wearing whte and now Siuan is wearing Tairen paisley and Moiraine is in a matching wrap. Excellent touch.

🐡

Nynaeve not bowing and the way Egwene looks at her lololol.

The way that Nynaeve is terrified and barely holding it together and Egwene is ready to fight the world. Everyone making this show understood the assignment.

What color is the stone in Siuan's ring? It wasn't blue, but I couldn't tell what color it was. Maybe gold?

Seriously, the Hall did not consent to your roleplay.

The way their fingers touch while Moriaine swears the oath. 😢😭

And the way Moiraine changes the oath. 1) She so dramatic I love her. 2) So smart to swear to Siuan specifically. 3) They're definitely married now.

They're all so happy to see each other! My babies.

I know that Mat doesn't go with them because reasons but, you know, I really don't blame him. Just cut loose from unspeakable horror to venture back into it? Yeah, hard pass.

I do wonder how Mat's story in the finale would've gone, as originally planned.

I do really like that Egwene is the first of the EF5 to step into the Ways. She is so brave.

rent in concert thoughts

rent has never sounded this good musically speaking. HUGE fan of the symphonic orchestrations. bro they got a harp and an english horn in there. in RENT! it's perfect

plus the sweeping strings and big brass sound reminds me so much of the orchestrations of the golden age and mid-late 20th century musical theater orchestration style and i have such a soft spot for that, i really really enjoyed that much

conductor was a ton of fun to watch he was just grooving up there on the podium the whole time

i love that they did a short orchestral medley as an overture at the top of the concert. do not love that the audience chattered away during the whole first part of it but i haven't yet perfected my mind powers to be able to shut them the hell up yet. alas.

dear gd when the audience started to clap along at the beginning of la vie boheme i was like. SHUT THE FUCK UP. thankfully it petered out fairly quickly but like what were you guys THINKING

actually i think opera has spoiled me a bit now because the audience needing to stop and clap and cheer for So Long after Every Single Number. kind of exhausting lmao. let's get on with it guys.

performance wise ali stroker was the star. i went in expecting that. and i was right <3 her delivery of "'THE ONLY WAY OUT IS UP!!!' she whispered." or whatever the line was in over the moon was genuinely funny. hard scene to pull off without being extremely annoying about it but ali stroker manages to pull it off! go queen!

there were a lot of wheelchair users in the audience tonight i noticed and i have no doubt a big reason why they were here was to see her. good for them tbh

okay i normally don't like to rag on performers much but i really. did not like the guy who was playing benny LOL. i just did not like whatever he was doing vocally, he sounded like a dollar store jason derulo to me. actually funnily enough my first thought was "he's giving mj the musical" and then i checked the digital program and he was in mj the musical on broadway...lmao. anyway not the vibe for benny imho

also while i don't think the guy playing collins was at all bad, i wish he had more Presence in his low register. the vocal cast as a whole was missing that low bass-y tone and i expect more of that from collins especially which i was very much missing here

very very glad to finally go to a musical and not absolutely need my earbuds to get through it. it did get a little loud at points especially towards the end but nothing that i needed hearing protection for. thank you national symphony orchestra

(of course i went into it as an Orchestra Concert whereas everyone around me went into it as a Musical Performance so. i'm better than them (joke))

although the sound balance was not the best? there were a lot of times it was hard to hear the actors singing clearly over the orchestra. now i understand that it can be tough to mic a singer loud enough to carry all the way over an entire symphony orchestra, and i'm honestly glad they didn't try to solve that problem by upping the amps to an earsplitting level. and honestly with this performance in particular i'm not even upset that the orchestra is covering the singers a little bit because the orchestra is really what i came to hear (besides ali stroker) and the orchestra is just sooooo good here.

still, worth bringing up, especially in the moments where everyone is singing all together, especially multiple lines simultaneously as in will i, christmas bells, and la vie boheme. especially for the ensemble singers, whom you could barely hear at all

i liked the lighting overall too. decent key lighting on the actors. attractive use of color and textures. for a concert performance it was good and surprisingly not obnoxious

also there was a surprising amount cut from the script for this. i've seen in concert performances of things before and i know it can vary a lot from show to show and performance to performance whether it's just the songs or if any of the scenes are kept as well; rent in concert hewed closer to the former in spirit. almost all of the dialogue was cut, as were a few of the "less important" musical numbers (most of the voicemails, we're okay, etc). even a couple of sections within larger, important musical numbers were cut (notably in christmas bells, which disappointed me bc i actually really like that number and was excited to hear the FULL thing with the orchestra. i feel cheated.)

which honestly leads to some. weird plot pacing? like if we're cutting all the voicemails out of act i that's fine but then they have alexi darling's voicemail from voicemail #3 there in act ii (but still none from the parents anywhere), and it comes out of nowhere. joanne's mini-reprise of we're okay in happy new year A doesn't really land the same when we're okay was cut entirely from act i too. and the entire collins and angel relationship is like ??? when they cut the scene of collins getting beat up in the beginning (but they kept angel meeting and helping him, of course), as well as cutting their section in christmas bells. like ??

honestly the near-complete excision of dialogue is really funny to me cause it feels like they were trying to solve the problem of rent having a messy plot by just. removing the plot entirely. and gd help you if you were watching and weren't already intimately familiar with the plot of rent as it's supposed to go because it was IMPOSSIBLE to follow from this version lmao. and yet they somehow managed to make the little bit of plot (loose as it is) that remains even more confusing and weirdly paced. incredible. zero notes

anyway tldr ali stroker good national symphony good LOVE these orchestrations and i hope that overture/medley becomes a pops concert staple or something

DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT DUDE I LEAVE ASKS FOR WEEKS BECAUSE I'M EVIL (EASILY DISTRACTED AND INARTICULATE) SHDGKJDSHDSLGF see you got to it before I was even done with a stream...

But yeah The Smile Ruined My Life. It helps it's not as silly as his last card's though lol

The "soul patch" is a bit of both; it is amplified a lot by lighting, but you can see it's noticeably darker/less patchy than the rest of his facial hair in his texture even when lighting isn't a factor and it's like that for his younger model too. I rarely notice when Tsutsumi actually has one though because it blends in with the shadow lol (sorry for the disgustingly high res texture btw I don't know why they did that and Tumblr blows it up to max size anyway </3)

YAYAYAY HOPE YOU ENJOY GOD OF RISK <3 Genuinely don't remember a single thing so probably due a rewatch for me as well. I do miss Hit Me too...

That's exactly the vision! Sad dog left out in the rain. I love fish out of water (so to speak) type stuff where the character is normally So Serious and So Capable. Jo just Existing In Public is such an image, right... because he's like... this guy with a fifty-foot AOE "leave me the fuck alone" aura active at all times but wearing one of THE most eye-grabbing fits... Honestly kind of insane no one ever connected Aoki to the yakuza before Nick's call-out post, though.

It's fun to imagine RGG characters just living their lives too. I LOVED Mine's first event because he had a lot of commentary on random encounters you could have in Y3 and even achievements you could get, while offering a pretty good idea of what his day-to-day is like

he cant be smiling so sincerely while holdin a fuckin katana that looks RIGHT RIDICULOUSAELKJA (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

if my followers can handle me posting masato and aoki's skinned face texture, then i can surely handle a bit of extra hi-res stubble ☠️☠️ BUT i dosee it. if i squint real hard (the shadows in the rggo card really do help point it out)

I'M ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST EP RN (got distracted for a sec to hang with my bro) AND SO FAR IM ENJOYIN IT !! Business Bullshit has always entertained me, and esp when kaori's being so hard headed rn only to be faced with the facts that if she doesnt change Serious Shit is going to hit the fan is ABSOLUTELY pulling me in

YAYAYA THATS EXACTLY IT I LOVE FISH-OUT-OF-WATER TYPE OF SCENARIOS TOO. it really is funny that no one connected the dots when every other npc or character seem so deadset on clocking characters like kiryu frame one as yakuza. meanwhile there's alligator-print, perpetual-scowl and slicked-back hair jo and everyone just seems to be none the wiser. He Just Looks Like That Don't Be Rude☠️☠️

i LOVE imaginin charas doin mundane shit so much, it's probably why i really enjoy slice-of-life stuff. Oh The Beauty Of Everyday Life Etc Etc- esp when applied to yakuza characters where it should be hard for a day to be bland and not noteworthy ☠️

[prozac-shaped-urn]

Well I’ll be fucking goddamned the words are FLOWING tonight lads

I just wrote 3k words of pure smut in 3 hours

And like,, the vomit draft is actually decently good. It’s actually not terrible. It’s like second draft quality in some places.

Snippet below the cut (rated E duh)

Also mind you it's still a vomit draft so it's still very much "Gerri did this; Deborah did that" and you'll see me making notes to myself and inserting random FUCK THIS IS GOOD things in the middle of sentences because this is my process and I don't question it

Important side note: This is BY NO FUCKING MEANS an example of what a vomit draft should look like. This is MY vomit draft. This isn't your vomit draft. Vomit drafts are like fingerprints. Nobody's fingerprint is exactly like someone else's and that needs to be understood. I have 20 years of experience on my side, so I naturally phrase things in certain ways that newer writers might not automatically do, AND THAT'S OKAY!!!!! We all have our things that we do and we should never judge ourselves or be judged by what comes out in the vomit draft. Half of it will be thrown out anyway. This is the diarrhea draft; the shitty first draft; the vomit draft; the word salad draft. It's not the final product and should never be considered as such. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Ok enjoy x

A second button revealed the budding pudge of her middle, nestled deliciously under her breasts, full and large. VOMIT DRAFT DONT JUDGE IT Gerri held Deborah's gaze as she traced the center hem of the shirt with the tips of her fingers, following its delicate stitches along a coarse ridge.

Gerri straightened her spine and let the third button reveal her belly and the crisp line between her breasts and her middle, curving downward at a shallow angle. The fabric slid off one shoulder and laid slack at her forearm as Deborah surveyed the expanse of Gerri's skin, full of imperfections and various textures. In it, her skin held shallow estuaries of stretch marks, flowing through her like the life source of placenta blood vessels; her veins glowed blue at the thinner parts of her skin at her upper arms, sagging gently with small bubbles of cellulite and revealing hidden stardust still alive inside her body; her belly poked out with a small attitude—tried and true, just as Gerri herself was—daring anyone to attempt to disrespect her with a firm backlash hidden inside a gentle remark.

A fourth and final button let Gerri's torso free as Deborah lovingly moved the fabric to either side, sliding it off her arms into a pool around her rear, wrists the only things keeping it attached to her body, and took her in fully. Deborah's chest moved in shallow waves as she stared at the imperfect perfection of Gerri's torso. Its hills and valleys, its crests and dips, its firmness and slack: all things she, too, possessed on her own body, but unwilling to face the reality of it.

A tear slid down Deborah's face and she didn't wipe it away. Maybe she didn't know it had fallen at all. Maybe she wanted Gerri to see it. Either way, Gerri was glad to let it follow its journey to the tip of Deborah's chin where it hung on with vengeance until Deborah sniffed and tilted her head like she was taking in a new art piece; inquisitive and searching, almost yearning, for what she could find hidden among the gift before her FUCK THIS IS GOOD Gerri shifted to release her sleeves and tossed her shirt aside, the fabric lying in a disheveled heap near the end of the bed. She gave Deborah a cocked eyebrow—all business, no nonsense—and straightened her legs.

Deborah nodded and cleared her throat, motioning for Gerri to swing her legs off the side of the bed. She followed Gerri's smooth glide and knelt high at her knees with her nervous hands to either side of Gerri's thighs. Her fingers twitched at the silk beneath them.

“I don't know what to do. Once they're off, I mean.”

“Don't think about that right now. Focus on what your hands are doing and where your eyes are looking. Don't think, Deborah. Just act,” Gerri said with a nod, and Deborah let her fingers smooth over her thighs. “Let go.” Deborah sought out Gerri's supportive eyes with a look of a child who had been given permission to color on the walls GODDAMN THIS IS GOOD “Let go.”

With a new eagerness, Deborah let her shaking hands slide over the silk at Gerri's hips, feeling the smooth lumps in the fabric as they flicked under the weight of her fingers. She let her thumbs circle into Gerri's hip bones and her eyes narrow in on the way her thighs flattened out at the side against the mattress and met in the middle. She moved her fingers beneath the hem and let them glide around to the front. She halted momentarily, looking up for permission and earning a nod and a genuinely pleased smirk—one corner of Gerri's mouth pulled to the side, pushing her cheek into small ridges and reaching to the crows feet at her eyes.

Under Deborah's palm pushing tenderly into her belly, Gerri laid back in a smooth motion, cradling her weight under her hands and looking over her shoulder for a landing spot. Her hands rested just beneath her breasts on her belly, and Deborah shifted to stand over her petite length. Deborah leaned over and dutifully lifted the fabric at Gerri's hip up then pulled it down, revealing black lace panties in a flower design.

“A woman after my own heart.”

“Chanel and Chanel only,” Gerri confirmed with a pointed finger aimlessly floating above her. “Anything else makes me itch, and I'd rather not be distracted by an itchy crotch during business meetings. Pantyhose are torture enough.”

“The first assignment I gave Ava was to write me twenty jokes, but nothing about pantyhose or the Challenger disaster—I've done 'em all.”

“I should convince Roman to wear pantyhose for a week so he'll know what kind of hell I put up with on a daily basis. Maybe he won't be as annoying the next time we talk.”

“Good luck with that,” Deborah replied dryly. Gerri chuckled and motioned for Deborah to continue.

Deborah held Gerri's pants up at the hem and circled her hands around to her rear, pulling at the fabric with firm grip as Gerri lifted her hips and let Deborah remove the pants entirely. Pausing again to collect herself and pushing aside thoughts, Deborah wet her lips with a brief dart of her tongue and silently asked again to move forward. Gerri approved with a small smile, and Deborah did the same motion on her panties, lifting them up and down, her legs bowing at the knees in turn as the lace slid down her skin and finally off onto the floor.

Gerri's full naked frame lie before Deborah, her knees bent at the edge of the bed, and she took a gleeful inhale, pushing the breath back out with a small giggle and hand at her lips. Her eyes danced all over Gerri's body, never staying in one place for more than a second, finding something else new to focus on with each blink.

Gravity working against her, Gerri let her natural curves spread out and show themselves fully. Her breasts fell to the side near her upper arms, her belly flattened out but spilled over to the side in a nearly spherical shape, her legs squished against each other and connected at the V of her curl-covered center, and her hands found a new home resting comfortably at her sides. Her hair sprawled next to her head in a messy tangle akin to Elizabeth Siddal: study for Ophelia, by John Everett Millais. Everything about her was natural and unfettered... unfiltered in a way Deborah had never allowed herself to be, and altogether overwhelming.

Barely audible, Deborah clearly stated, “You're beautiful, Gerri.”

Gerri responded with an open palm inviting Deborah to connect them in a sisterhood of subverting societal expectations. Deborah laced their fingers together in a lazy embrace, neither needy nor resistant, simply truthful.

[startreatment]

i can't believe i haven't asked for your in depth thoughts on the car yet but i am asking it now! has the top 5 changed?

so i just checked and my top 5 was mirrorball, big ideas, hello you, sculptures and mr schwartz and tbh i don't think it did. i'm not sure about mr schwartz, i think it might be switched for the car or jet skis on the moat, but yeah. some thoughts on each track individually:

there'd better be a mirrorball: instant classic, come on now! gorgeous production, THE STRINGS!!, smooth vocals, so hazy, beautiful and atmospheric. i cried to it more times than i am willing to admit, it really is a tearjerker. i've seen some people say that lyrics are the weakest part of the album, which i obviously disagree with, but especially on this one. it's pretty simple, but still effective and touching. "i'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view darling, if i were you" always gets me.

i ain't quite where i think i am: FUN!! the weakest one on the album, but i genuinely love it. WAAAAAAH!! i am a she looks like fun enjoyer as well, so i guess i just like having fun idk?

sculptures of anything goes: no words to adequately explain the sheer grip this one has on me. everything i wanted and more. so dark, ominous, rich and textured, we love her!! and the title's very cool, too. it is a career highlight idc what y'all say!! 5 years from now we're gonna treat it with the same respect and love we treat crying lightning, four out of five and other pretties. love. alex turner work on a portishead inspired album challenge

jet skis on the moat: didn't grab me on the first listen, but it's actually very cute! gives me western vibes, one of the songs that reminds me of TBHC the most, for some reason. love the way he delivers "or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?". "you know that it's alright if you're wanna cry" thank you alex, but i have been bawling since the first track so <3

body paint: still sad it didn't live up to my very high expectations that were set up by that damn kings theatre live "leak", but i appreciate it way more in context. the piano riff is insane tho, sometimes it just randomly plays in my head throughout the day. also, really enjoy the first lyric. "for a master of deception and subterfuge you've made yourself quite the bed to LIE in" ok we get it you're very funny. also. "and i'm keeping on my costume and calling it a writing tool"? yeah he's.......... mhm

the car: ruins me the same way ultracheese does, which means i sob uncontrollably until i feel like there's no air around me at all. childhood memories always get me so hard and the strings add a sense of melancholy i can't handle. very sick of them to put it in the middle of the fucking record! anyway, it kinda reminds me of faust arp by radiohead, which is a win, because in rainbows is very good. good track!

big ideas: have i ever said that we should artists grow? let them change and flourish and explore new things? hm, idk. lyrically it's a bit too on the nose, which is not what i was expecting at all, but it's a welcome change from cryptic TBHC lyrics. sometimes i just want him to say what he thinks, you know? and we're gonna stop analysing the lyrics now, because i don't wanna get upset.

hello you: the first make me hold my breath and stop me in my tracks no matter what i'm doing (kinda like nfwmb foof and diwk do so. do with that what you will). that piano riff (? can you call it that idk i know nothing about music) is CRAZYYYY. also plays in my head throughout the day, so catchy and fun. lego napoleon moveh. vortex to vortex. the buisness they call show. 'ello gruesome. HELLOOOO YOU. might be my favourite from the record if i'm being completely honest. sorry, i love a good instrumental, what can i say. i actually saw someone say it's pattern with no miles, which is pretty accurate!

mr. schwartz: my head hurts. again, not getting into the lyrics, but i HAVE to point out that "and if wе guess who i'm pretending to be, do we win a prize?" makes me wanna lay down for a sec. also FINGERPICKING!!

perfect sense: why is it so short. melancholic (what a surprise), but doesn't make me wanna die! it's the type of melancholy that you feel when you're watching the last episode of your favourite show. a nice farewell song that sounds sad but hopeful, a gorgeous closer. they Know how to write a good closing track for sure. love it!!

my overall review: makes me cry, but it's very good. would love to have a couple more tracks that sound like i ain't quite or hello you to dilute the ... whatever's going on in the middle that makes me sob, but i can also appreciate the fact that it's just 10 tracks. still, we want b-sides @ am. make it happen!!!!! a 9/10, already in my top 3 (which is tbhc > humbug > fwn = the car), taylor swift cant't relate

Rating Hermitcraft intros based on my synesthesia

aka it's 2am and I'm in hell, this is only gonna include the hermits that have actual Consistent Intros to their hermitcraft videos and also has absolutely nothing to do with how much I actually like their videos or even their voice!! there isn't a single hermit whose voice I don't enjoy in some form but I have opinions about their intros apparently so here we go,

(also I specifically have sound-texture synesthesia, sounds will have different textures associated with them, which aren't always.. real textures? in which case I might get a little abstract with feelings idk I apologize in advance)

cub: solid like. 5/10? smack in the middle pretty much, like super smooth paper, the kind that pen doesn't dry well on

doc: 9/10 his intro is. ough. if you included the goat tapes in his rating?? infinity/10 but this is just about his voice s o. his intro is like. being able to pick up a piece of storm cloud and squeeze it... a lil spark, a lot of rumbling fluff, very very nice to feel

etho: 7/10? I love listening to his voice in General but his intro doesn't have the Best Feelings of his voice, it's like. something almost crunchy that crumbles when you squeeze it

false: 8/10!! it is So Nice!!! a lil bouncy bouncy in your chest kinda like driving on a hilly road!! makes me happy

gem: solid like. 4.5/10?? feels like Too Much Grass. no I don't know what the fuck that means please don't ask (I love her voice in general tho this is purely just the intro sjjfjd)

scar: one that rly surprises me bc I love watching him but scars intro is only like. a 2/10 at best?? esp the hermits and crafting part feels a little like rubbing styrofoam together but it's Fine it's worth it for scar content beloved

grian: 5/10, middle of the road like cub! kinda like a freshly baked sheet of cake c:

hypno: 4/10? it's like. accidentally putting too much honey on crunchy bread in a way that's good when u want honey but not as fun when u don't

jevin: 8/10!!!! love!!!! it's like. you know those gifs of people jiggling gelatin shaped like animals. it's like those, esp if they're shiny

impulse: 6/10, I do enjoy but it is Pretty Average djjfd he's just!! sorta like an old blanket that is pretty worn but feels so familiar and nice anyways, it's Good

iskall: hrmgh. this is a weird one bc objectively I love his intro. but synesthesia disagrees and says it's a 3/10 at Best, like wet carrot peels?? I don't even know man I'm upset at myself for that one

joe: 8/10! it's like house siding! somehow this is a good thing!

keralis: yes/10 he just has a Good Voice it's So Good it's like rabbit fur

pearl: 10/10 brain happy moments,,, it's just smooth water!! like river water I think where it doesn't quite feel Real but it pulls a little and is just the right amount of cool

ren: 6.5/10? it's very fun skfjd he's like what I imagine it would feel like to smash a tiny round lightbulb mixed with bouncy ball vibes

stress: 7/10! first thought was like the handle of a pestle but honestly just any vaguely smooth Holdable Thing would probably work too, big emphasis on Holdable her intro is holdable

tfc: 7.5/10!! it's like. the stone of a firepit still warm from a fire,,, just really good vibes

beef: 9/10!!!! his intro is like a merengue it's so Light and Melts <3

wels: 10/10 makes me wanna cry happy tears sometimes it just hits So Good it's like when u get that itch u couldn't scratch

xb: 9999/10 literally I could just listen to his intro on repeat for hours it's s o good I just want to bury my hands in it

xisuma: 6/10 just full of scrungle. like a floppy ferret. or a frisbee??

zedaph: solid 8/10! a little bit like trying to hold fireworks, it always makes me happy :D

cleo: 9/10! I love the way she says hermitcraft it's just Smooth and Concave and feels like you can slide down her words it's v v good,,

Out of curiosity, what were some of your favorite responses on the wet sock question?

This list is not all of them but they're some of the ones I found that I happened to particularly enjoy! And if anyone needs context, on the last question of my kotlc uquiz (link if you're curious) it was open ended and I prompted people to "say anything you'd like or try to convince me wet socks is a bad texture (you can't it's a great texture)"

I spent the past hour going through all 325 responses to it to judge them all, and I ended up including a lot so I'm putting a cut. they're also not all specifically about the wet socks, some I just liked the vibes of, but most are sock related!

these are their responses, dun dun:

(trigger warning for caps for a lot of these)

wet socks is the worst texture ever like feeling the MOIST AND SAGGYNESS OF THE SOCK??? don't even get me started on how the wetness will make every detail of the sock much more noticeable anyway i hope i convinced you also i am very gay

you... you like... wet socks? how... what... why... i just... whaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt?

wet socks are disgusting. They make me nauseous, and they feel like stepping barefoot in dead animal guts.

EW WET SOCKS ARE THE WORST NOPE NOPE NOPE good quiz tho (quil note: thanks <3)

WET SOCKS ARE FUCKING DISGUSTING WTF U SUCK (You're still amazing, have a wonderful day <3) (quil note: thanks I will <3)

wet socks are absolutely horrendous. they *stick to your footsies* and wiggle *between* your lil toesies! it weighs you down as heavy as the weight on your back, unending, forever pressing against you growing larger and larger until you're forced to succumb to the pressure-

wtf wet socks are so bad u monster (quil note: I love monsters this is a compliment <3)

The wonderful thing about the universe is the beautiful of conflict of perspectives and thoughts and words. It's also absolutely revolting.

thanks for making this quiz I prefer these questions so much more than the regular quiz questions (quil note: this one isn't about the socks but I really appreciate it so it's getting included <3)

NO WET SOCKS ARE THE WORSE IT MENTALLY HURTS ME EVERY TIME IT OCCURS

I love wet socks ??

yum soggy socks delicious /hj

Try taking off your wet socks and then putting them on again. Then you will understand (quil note: bold of you to assume I haven't done that and enjoyed it)

why would you say such things- It's not the wet sock itself, but when the skin starts to wrinkle like a prune inside the damp fabric, soft socks now saturated and coarse. You try to slip on your shoes but they stick and slip and never fit like they did before. When the shoes are one, the dampness is cramped, tight up against your skin. You walk forward and your foot begs to be free of its wet prison as the now rough fabric scrapes and digs at your water softener skin. You can do nothing.

it feels like freakin slugs

I agree man wet sock is very good it scratches my brain itch (quil note: you understand me <3)

have a nice day and life. someone i might never meet or maybe we will who knows. Goodbye, hope you find what you’re looking for in life random person (quil note: also not about socks but very endearing nonetheless <3)

WET SOCKS ARE BAD WHAT

wet socks are so uncomfy because people in general don't like getting wet but now this damp piece of cloth is stuck to you and it's gross and icky and EW

why the hell do you like the feeling of wet socks. that feeling makes me want to cut my feet off. are you okay.

it feels like slugs are sucking on the bottom of my foot

a forest floor, a lost love on the ground in a pool of blood, a broken heart and a pair of red-soaked socks (quil note: idk man just the vibes I love this)

idk anything about koltc (quil note: I think it's funny given that this is a kotlc character uquiz)

NO. Its horrible, makes your feet feel like its winter and youre walking in deep sludge thats filled with cow manoeuvre

What is greater than to be understood? Or to understand? It is the moment the pieces of the puzzle start to click together and you, yourself become part of the picture -Me (quil note: nice!!! love puzzles <3)

OMG WHAT I LIKE WET SOCKS TOO LIEK IF I GO OUT IN THE RAIN I WILL PURPOSELY KEEP MY SOCKS ON WAIT DO PEOPLE NOT LIKE THAT FEELING????? (quil note: haha!! I have found another one!)

(obligatory paragraph break because tumblr said so)

actually, wet socks is a fun feeling!! it always reminds me of the rainy season at the school bus stop with my oldest friend, waiting for the bus while promising to change our socks and then not actually doing it in school!! also it's like a tiny little weighted blanket for your feet :> (quil note: another one! also this is very sweet <33)

Slime dripping between your toes, dampness overwhelming your senses - disgusting, I say.

hello. thank you for reading kotlc (i adore it but haven’t found many other people that have :/). great quiz btw, i couldn’t guess which one went with which character for the most part. (quil note: exactly!! I didn't want to draw on typical associations and wanted to look deeper!! also yes I love kotlc <3)

Wet socks are extremely uncomfortable and cold when they're on your feet. They feel like someone decided to do the absolute worst texture possible and make it. You are sacrilege itself for thinking that wet socks are great.

aight

im sorry but the fact you like the texture of wet socks is gonna stick with me forever. i will literally never be able to think of anything else when i see you. why. /lh (quil note: where are you seeing me, responder, where--)

(tw caps) HOW IS WET SOCKS GOOD WTF they're bad??? They go squish when you put them in your shoes??? idk maybe you're just weird

don’t fucking psychoanalyze me (quil note: I'll never know whether or not I did...)

wet socks uncomfortable feet cold sticky and icky makes bad feeling. need newclean socks ones straight out of the dryer mmmm
