tfw you're going thru it and your emotional support stray kaiju (pet dog) calms you down.

more kn8 oc sketchies with rory, lyra, and new oc millie (rory's little sister).

some extra lore under the cut (cw: pet loss)

a few months before rory met lyra, his family lost their home, business, and pet dog to a bushfire. implied that a kaiju was an indirect cause.

rory found lyra in the bush. he was about to call the threat in, but saw that she was injured. he decided to nurse her back to health.

eventually he kept bringing her food (chicken is her fav) and they bonded. esp. because rory lost their family dog, jack, quite recently. lyra reminded him of jack.

haboring kaiju is a crime. still, rory decided to raise her as a "dog" and argue if anyone said otherwise.

his sister, millie, tailed rory one day. that's how she found out he's been sneaking lyra food and toys for months.

the two take care of lyra in secret.

they are aware that lyra is a taz, albeit smaller and with less scales. (smth smth old legend of a runaway taz who lived in the bush, mating with wild dogs)

(taz being the lab-grown kaiju that assist akcu forces in combat)

spoiler for akcuverse story: lyra being taken into custody by akcu is the reason rory joins as an officer ;u;

Okay I am very happy to see more and more people call out the weirdos, namely the ones villainizing pregnancy and all that, But I wanna talk about the startling amount of people I've been seeing popping up calling Jade and Stalker's romance "cheap, boring, easy" just *because* it's woman-loving-man or "straight" as these people keep calling it.. How wild is that-? to call a romance boring because of the gender of the people involved? they're not calling it boring cause of writing but because of their damn genders? hello?? do you know how insane that would sound if said about a sapphic or achillean (mlm) couple?? imagine if someone said that about Albrecht and Loid they'd get flamed so fucking fast dude. Do these people also forget bi/pan etc. wlm relationships exist? or that straight genderqueer people and relationships exist?? that queer wlm relationships just exist as well in general??? I'm a bi woman in a relationship with a bi trans man, JUMPSCARE! we exist! while I understand being tired of wlm romances cause there's enough out there to get to hell and back, that doesn't mean they should just, not exist? or that they're inherently bad or boring? not only is that just weird period but it also erases the people and relationships mentioned above. (also goes against the whole equality thing we've all been fighting for my guy) also like, the last time we got a wlm relationship between major/important characters in warframe was god damn Ballas and Lotus and that shit was abusive, we needed a healthy one to balance it lmaaoooo. Annd to my knowledge there hasn't been any romance between two warframes before these two yet so it's not like they've done it before to warrant the groaning? you know it's odd how I almost felt this type of attitude coming, I was witnessing a concerning steady rise of hating pregnancy in fiction from one side of the internet and just general hatred of wlm relationships on the other side of the internet, such a shame it all came to a boiling point and targeted this quest that really didn't deserve it. Honestly looking at it without the stained view of people the quest is just as good as all the others before it, short, sweet and impactful. I really enjoy it and have been trigger happy with the block on anyone slightly annoying about it cause at this point it feels like we don't even play the same game lmao. anyways this will likely be the last post about people being weird as I don't wanna bring more negativity to the tag and I'm tired of people pff but posts like these are unfortunately important cause if you let the mold sit it'll contaminate and ruin everything. Jade, Stalker and their beb deserve all the love they can get, I will not tolerate slander. >:[

HSR but Pinoy reader

So ito ay loosely based sa NAPAKA CUTE NA ANIME: Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill 

TW: Puro mura 'to bhie, pag nagreklamo ka mamaya pagtapos mo magbasa tusukan ko ng tissue yang ilong mo :D

pano ka na isekai? 

so naglalaro ka ng star tail (dailies) bago maaksidente sa kusina.. nasabugan ka ng gas para deds na talaga- charot! nagluluto ka ateng tapos bigla nag apoy yung kalan tapos nausok tapos deds- de joke sumabog ka talaga kasama nung LPG HAHAHAH

taena ko no, mapanakit?

sino unang na meet? 

si Sampo, actually. like, hours before mo mameet mga trailblazer. so diba ikaw na isekai, tapos na discover mo na meron kang access sa online store - bumili ka agad ng warmer tapos kitchen utensils (shala wala nang isip-isip! matalino na tayong lahat pag na-isekai alam na natin gagawin agad HAHAHA) 

enter Sampo, "That smells delicious!" tapos syempre natili ka bebs, nagulat na OMG SI SAMPO NA WALA PA SYA SA ROSTER tapos syempre kalma lang ses, kasi di pwede sabihin na kilala mo sya 

so ayern, pinakain mo si Sampo, halos maiyak naman sya sa sarap, tapos nagkagulo sa labas kasi hinahabol si Sampo, hinila ka niya kasi ise-save ka nya, dun kayo nauwi sa ilalim ng snow (strong ka ses kaya di ka tinatablan masyado ng snow kunwari) 

meeting the gang gang

Caelus (CUTIE PATOOTIE OMG apaka inosente mo bhie sarap mong halikaaan) discovered you both under the snow, and then OMG INIWAN KA NI SAMPO GAGI AHHAHAHAHAHA. Halos lumuwa mata mo kasi SI DAN HENG! KRAS!! nasa harap mo OMFG (shet bhie ang sarap nya BWAHAHA). You explained na wala kang kinalaman ke Sampo, na kinidnap ka sa bahay niyo after nya kainin yung pinaghirapan mong lutuin 

so ayern medyo naawa naman si March 7th (amputi nya ses!) saka Caelus kasi you look lost, ateng, and seriously, anlayo ng hitsura mo sa mga tao ng Belobog, so naghinala agad si Dan Heng na hindi ka taga don, pero di muna niya sinabi (maya na, excited yarn? HAHA) 

so ayun dumating si (drool) PAPA GEPARD ANG GWAPO MO MARRY ME, ahem, dumating na nga si Pogi #4 para arestuhin your ass (hng, double fuck), tapos syempre nilabanan siya ng main cast WOOOOOO LIPAD PANTY! ay wait! HHHAHHAHAHHAHA kaluluwa kasi!! amp giatay 

tapos ayun pinaglaban nina March 7th na mga aliens sila (kasama ka dun lol), and si Gepard naman nPAKA DADDY MO SHET ayun dinala tayez kay cocogoat- este cocolia pala, tapos ayern syempre alam mo na may maligno na sumapi kay ateng so shatap ka na lang kasi dakila kang marites eh, baka ikapahamak mo pa pag nagdaldal ka lmao 

so ayun sa hotel inexplain mo sa kanila na na isekai ka lang dito and you have no idea how to get back or how the hell you've arrived here in the first place (with tears!! dapat bhie yung pang Oscars na may kasamang pag-wipe ng luha!) - and Dan Heng SHET PAKASALAN MO DIN AKO WOOF WOOF sinabi na may hunch na talaga sya nung una pa lang (GWAPO NA MATALINO PA SHET NAOL TALAGA TOTOO)

syempre kunwari di mo alam kung ano Astral Express so nagtanong ka, and SYEMPRE OMG TINANONG MO KUNG PWEDE KANG SUMAMA SA KANILA and your reason is, "I can cook!" BITCH YES YOU GRADUATED AS A CHEF WAG PAPATALO! PINALAKI TAYONG PALABAN NG SEXBOMB!! so ayun sinabi ni Dan Heng na tatanungin niya sina Himeko at Welt - to which you responded with, "Who?" LINSYAK, YES! TALINO MO BEH, WOO! Para di ka nila pag-isipan na may alam ka about sa kanila HAHAHHAHA naol advanced mag-isip 

naka skin white yarn?

So anyway, so eto na nga: Si Bronya (puta ang ganda nya sa personal??? girl??? naka etude house yarn?!), tapos ang cute ni Pela shet! What's not so cute though is yung hinahabol na nila kayo - and then ni-rescue ang gang, tapos na-meet mo din sina Oleg at Seele (shet maganda din?? wtf ateng??? buysit tong si hoyo kinukwestyon pagkababae ko). Anyways, kinaltukan mo si Sampo ng dalawa kasi ANG GWAPO MO DIN TANGINA KA DI AKO MANYAK PERO PAHIPO NAMAN NG SIDES MO BHIE AY WAIT- iniwan ka niya nung andun si GEPARD 

anyways, so ayern nga na discover niyo plano ng Wildfire and si Natasha (mommy??), nagpunta kayo sa abandonadong orphanage, then Seele and Bronya talked, bla bla bla, tapos nagpahinga ulit sa hotel underground – dun mo actually nalaman kay Dan Heng na OMG PUMAYAG SI HIMEKO AT WELT NA MAG-STAY KA SA ASTRAL EXPRESS AT THE MEANTIME OMGOMGOGOMG 

meeting kay Svarog – syempre napalaban ang ganggang (omg ang cute ni Clara!! Iuwi sana kita kaso lalasugin ako ni Svarog- ay wait, why not? AHHAHAHAHA kalma tayo ‘te! Juice-colored) ayun nasa tabi lang kayong dalawa until tumakbo sya dun sa robot para protektahan (aww. Pero kids don’t try this at home, tanging mga professional at mga batang walang tsinelas lang ang gumagawa neto.) 

so ayun excited kang natulog – then nung nagising ka nalaman niyo na si Bronya naglayas para kausapin si Cocolia and syempre sinundan niyo kasi syempre medyo friends na din kayo (kahit ang ginawa mo lang naman is titigan siya for like 35 minutes – ang ganda talaga syet bagay mag kpop idol – but I guess most of them are), na meet niyo si Serval ulit (shet bangganda din wtf?!) tapos ayun tinulungan niya kayo na makarating sa restricted zone and na-meet ulit si Papa Gepard ILANG BESES PA BA KONG LULUHOD BHIE, then boom! Gepard got his ass smacked by his sister (WHOOO FEMALE EMPOWERMENT LEZGO) 

anyways, BOOM SHAKALAKA, main fight with Cocolia 

asan ka? Andun sa likod, nanonood lang with popcorn na binili mo online HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA  

angagawen mo bhe?! Kusinera ka bhie omg, hindi ka hero! Ang cool ng laban- shet na malupet, tapos ayun na-skewer si Caelus like a sheesh kebab (HOLY PAAAAKKSHET!!!!) tapos BOOMMM came back with a flaming claymore and a vengeance 

*cue epic Wildfire battle song* 

the end pero nagsisimula pa lang talaga tayo mga bakla

ayun halos matapon popcorn mo kasi SHET NA MALUPET, kapag nag fe-flex muscles ni Dan Heng at Caelus naglalaway ka XDXDXD hoy bhie!!! Pulutin mo yang baba mo sa snow omg mag hunus-dili ka!!!! >.< 

anyways, after nun medyo naging melancholic atmosphere kasi namatay si Cocolia and nag-usap kung sasabihin ba totoo – medyo agree ka naman kay Bronya na itago muna, labas ka na kasi dun bhie eh. 

pero after naman nung sad na moment nayun, nag-offer kang magluto para sa kanilang lahat!!! 

this is before umakyat lahat ng taga underground sa taas – nagluto ka muna ng maraming dishes for everyone sa clinic ni Natasha and OMG halos maiyak mga tao kasi sobrang sarap ng luto mo lolol. Nibigyan mo si Natasha ng ilang recipe para in case na kelangan nila ng bagong ideas, lalo na at napaka limited ng ingredients dun. 

SI MARCH 7TH EXCITED KA NA IUWI KASI PEBORIT NA NIYA ADOBO LMAO 

medyo mangiyak-ngiyak ka bhie nung nagsi-iyakan mga taga underworld nung nakabalik na sila sa Admistrative District, shet, nakaka touch din yung speech ni Bronya (sniff ang laki na nya grabe parang kelan lang char HAHAHAHA) tapos andun ka sa table kasama sina March 7th, Caelus at Dan Heng tahimik na nanonood.  

medyo natahimik ka nung nakapasok ulit kayo sa Qliport Fort kasi na-realize mo na omg, this is fucking real, this isn’t a joke – and gusto mo mag curl up para umiyak pero strong ka bhie eh, kaya huminga ka lang ng malalim and blink your eyes rapidly para mag shoo yung nagbabadyang tubig sa mga mata mo 

anyways, so nag teleport na nga kayo sa Astral Express, and then you meet Himeko- 

TAPOS BHIE DUN KA BIGLANG NAIYAK KASI NAGLARO KA NG HONKAI IMPACT 3RD DATI AND NAG-UNINSTALL KA NUNG NAMATAY SI HIMEKO KASI SHE’S ONE OF YOUR FAVES- 

so ayern, medyo nag-panic sila kasi buysit nayan, ayaw tumigil ng iyak mo! Bhie! Calmdawg!!!   

after mo kumalma (shet and sarap i-hug ni Himeko apaka fair skin) tinawag mo syang Ate kasi di mo mapigilan – grabe bhie sobrang ganda nya rin!! And medyo oldie si Welt pero gagapangin pa din AHHAHAHAAHHA pagpasensyahan na po napaka-kalat ko 

you told them your story (while minding the consistency para di sila masyadong maghinala), and very kind sila pati si pompom, naintindihan nila pinagdadaanan mo, so since walang available na kwarto in the meantime, pina stay ka muna sa kwarto ni March 7th while Caelus stays sa kwarto ni Dan Heng 

next morning, nagluto kang breakfast and gustong-gusto nina Himeko at Welt yung Sinigang mo! (LMAO HINDI TO TYPO, YES SINIGANG HINDI SINANGAG SA BREAKFAST) Medyo ayaw kasi ni March saka Caelus nun eh, while si Dan Heng naman yung tipo na basta safe kainin, la sya pake (pero hindi sya mahilig sa maanghang) 

anyways, OMG DUMATING SI KAFKA – cue the jawdrop coz HOLY SMOKING PATOOTIE, MILF ang datingan niya omigosh!! tapos ayun si Himeko tinago ka agad niya sa likod niya, and ikaw naman nung sumilip nag-meet agad mata mo kay Kafka so nakita mo na medyo nagulat sya – huh, so di ka nakwento ni Elio sa kanya? (ay friends kayo te? di mo naman ako ininform HAHAHA) Si Pompom naman hinila mo na rin sa likod mo kasi medyo nanginginig sya and you hugged him to calm him down 

kagaya nung sa storyline, kinumbinsi sila ni Kafka na pumunta sila sa Xianzhou Luofu dahil dun sa Stellaron, and bla bla bla, honestly di ka masyadong nakinig kasi alam mo na yun eh, mas tinitingnan mo yung payong nya, actually – nasa umuulan kaya syang lugar habang naka live, or aesthetic lang? 

“And who is this cutie, hm?” 

OH SHIT you yelped when KAFKA SUDDENLY POPPED UP IN FRONT OF YOU OMG LOL 

“Uh-“ quick! say something cool!! “I cook?” 

DA FUCK BHE GINAGAWA MO?! HAHAHAHA SHUNGA!!!  

natawa lang sayo si Kafka, shet! pero medyo natakot ka, kasi parang iba yung tingin niya like kinakabisado nya hitsura mo, so nagtago ka lalo sa likod ni Himeko hanggang sa umalis na si Kafka 

phew! that woman is officially bad for your heart!! 

anyways, habang nag-uusap silang lahat sa cabin about sa next plan, ikaw naman nag decide na ilabas na lang sa luto yung kaba and jitters mo. then after lunch sinabi ni Pompom na magsiupo na dahil mag wa-warp na kayo sa Xianzhou Luofu 

to be continued ang kabaliwan bhie!!!! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR MGA HANGAL KAUSAPIN NIYO KO SAMAHAN NIYO KO SA KABALIWAN KO BAGO KO PA LAWAYAN SI PAPA JING YUAN, BLADE AT IMBIBITOR LUNAE!!!!! ANAKAN NIYO KO PLS

[bebx]

So I'm not in the Harrow fandom but like, what would happen if he met Henry (or Eddie because I'm biased w my boys) or Jack?

Harrow is a crime show from what I can tell?

Just curious what your thoughts are.

*for my other moots and followers, this is about Henry Creel from Stranger Things, not Henry Morgan from Forever (though I love both Henry’s very dearly).

okay, a little background for my beloved Doctor Daniel Harrow (played by the one and only Ioan Gruffudd)

Doctor Harrow is the main protagonist of a series called Harrow, and he’s a talented pathologist who’s… well, highly stubborn, so he doesn’t follow the rules and always does things his own way. he can be reckless and arrogant, some people call him selfish (also a pain in the ass) but in a good way, and he’s a good person. (he’s also extremely gorgeous it’s insane.)

so basically in the show, we often see Harrow conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of each body’s death. except that sometimes (most of the times) Harrow does more than his job description says, and goes out of his way to investigate things by himself if he suspects a foul play was involved. and he’s always right and basically he’s the one who solves crimes with his stubbornness and recklessness and also his talent.

I love this show so so very much. it’s so very good, one of the best shows I’ve ever watched, and it means so much to me (and I need a season 4).

now back to your ask! I call it a sign because a crossover between Harrow and Henry Creel is actually something I’d been thinking about writing for like a couple of months now. then I got your ask and I was like ‘now this is a sign. I really have to write it into existence!’.

so here it is: a modern age AU Stranger Things where Henry and Harrow met!

anyway, I think, if we’re talking about canon Stranger Things, I think Harrow would never be okay with Henry’s actions, what he did (the massacre, which, for the sake of the plot, never happened in the crossover fic I wrote). he would never condone the abuse Henry went through, but that didn’t mean he’d think the massacre Henry committed in canon could ever be justified.

I mean… I don’t know, that didn’t mean Harrow wouldn’t understand either (understanding something =/= condoning or justifying something). because, in the series, Harrow himself also had his own dark secrets that he had to hide. so I think… Harrow would understand why young Henry felt the need to kill his parents. but adult Henry who murdered those kids in canon? yeah, I think that would be another story.

from how I see it, if Harrow could, he would have done anything and everything to stop adult Henry from hurting innocent people. that meant either he or Henry would end up dead, because Henry would have to kill him first if he wanted to go ahead and hurt those innocent people.

however, Harrow also had the tendency to do anything and everything to protect the people that he loved. so I think it would depend on who Henry was to Harrow. if Henry wasn’t a friend, then I think Harrow would stop at nothing until he stopped Henry (and yes, that meant either Henry killed him or he killed Henry). but if they were friends, then I think that would be where things got complicated. because while, in canon, Harrow used to break laws to protect people he cared about, what adult Henry did was still something I really don’t think Harrow could ever accept or condone. so, even if they were friends, I think Harrow would still do anything in his power to stop Henry. he would hope he could stop him by putting him behind bars so that Henry was at least alive and so that Harrow could try to help him walk the right path, but if his hands were tied and if stopping Henry meant killing Henry, I think Harrow would probably go with it still, only because he didn’t have any other choice. and then he’d probably blame himself, thinking maybe if he’d done something differently he could have saved Henry. but basically Harrow would end up with yet another lifelong trauma.

(good thing is that the angst isn’t this severe in that crossover fic I wrote, so don’t worry, they’re both okay there!)

moving on to Eddie Munson. if Harrow met Eddie, oh I think that would be interesting and nope, it wouldn’t be anywhere as angsty as his meeting with Henry, that was for sure.

I think Harrow would see Eddie as a son, and Eddie would see Harrow as a father figure of sorts, a role model even.

in the show, Harrow did (almost) have a troubled son whom he looked after. I think if he met Eddie and if Eddie had a rough childhood, was somewhat troubled, then Harrow would step in and look after him.

As for Jack Sparrow, I think these two would probably find each other annoying at first. But after some rum, I believe they would be some sorts of a chaotic duo who caused shenanigans together.

Harrow and Jack are actually alike in several ways in my opinion: both are stubborn, reckless and Harrow sure can be mischievous.

so yes, him and Jack together would be hella fun.

Bluey's Bird Blurbs 1k Celebration | blurb two: he's dead, again (2k)

Your heart had been with Eddie before. And it would want to be with him now, even after everything. So what else was Steve to do?

He told himself it was to save you. That he’d do anything for you— anything to keep from seeing you broken like you were that day, slumped over Munson’s limp body, wailing like a wounded animal into the shreds of his homemade t-shirt. Your face was smeared with his blood when Steve finally managed to pull you away, contorted almost grotesquely with the force of your anguish. You didn’t seem to notice how much of Eddie’s life clung to your skin; Steve stretched the hem of his shirt to soak it up, to try and cleanse you of it, but you batted away his attempts and curled up into yourself, closed away in the bathroom of that ruined trailer back in the warm light of true Hawkins. Steve coughed up flakes of the decaying fungus he’d inhaled molotoving Vecna as he listened to you whimper and moan on the other side of that wooden door, unresponsive to pleas for you to unlock it. Each one of them tried, and each one of them failed, and eventually, they wandered home to check on loved ones and assess the damage the Upside Down had done to their lives. 

Steve stayed. 

He didn’t have anyone to go back to, not the way the rest of them did— Robin to her mother, Nancy to her siblings, the kids to all their parents. Eventually, he tried one last time, scratching a dirty fingernail along the varnish of the plywood door. “It’s just me,” he croaked. “I’m still here.”

There was a beat of silence, and then another, and Steve’s bones began to numb as you became just the latest in a long line of people who didn’t need him once he stopped being Mr. Mom.

But then you cracked the door. And though the tears had washed Eddie’s blood in unnerving tracks of bare skin down to your chin, like your face was made of him and your skin was just the leakage of your sorrow, Steve still held you on the Munsons’ filthy trailer floor when you collapsed into his arms. He didn’t really know what to say— he never felt good at finding the right words in these types of situations—  but it didn’t much matter anyway. Because all you could do is keep sobbing his name over and over again, little tremulous whispers of yearning and disbelief and pure, unadulterated agony. 

Steve could swear that sometimes he still hears the sound of Eddie’s hollow name on your lips behind that wooden door echoing in his ears, like the wailing of some ghost he still can’t quite shake even now, months after the incident.

Steve was there to put you back together again in those weeks following Eddie’s death. You’d clung to him, the only semblance of solace you could find, and he’d held you, dirty and aching, as you mourned for the boy you’d lost. He knew there’d been something between you, something still tentative and not fully explored, weak but nonetheless precious. Something that surely would have grown into the purest kind of love, tended by calloused palms and soft fingers working in tandem to prune and water and coax that preciousness to full bloom. But calloused palms lay limp, face up on asphalt, never to feel the sweet caress of your lips, or to lift and cradle your cheek, or to dip tremulously to the juncture of your thighs and feel the heat they’ve coaxed inside you.

Eddie could have known the touch of your lips and cheek and inner thighs, but he’s dead. So, now, Steve is the one you kiss and nuzzle and burn for.

Such is the way of things.

It’s why he had to do it. It’s as simple as that: the way of things. Right and wrong. Natural and unnatural. 

How things are and how they’re supposed to be, and what a person can do to make them so again.

Steve stitched you back together after Munson had died. He’d been the one to shush you when the nightmares came to tear you from sleep; to watch over you in the day and night while you existed, limp and listless; to hold you even when the musk of your hair belied how mustering the motivation to cleanse it had become a struggle. You needed Steve, and he gave himself to you. Every ounce of strength he had, every drop of patience, every last shred of virtue within him, he devoted to you. 

And after months of brokenness, the fruits of his labor paid off. No longer did he wake to hear you whimpering Eddie’s name in your sleep. No longer did you float listless and limp through your daily life. You worked. You took care of yourself. You smiled, and you even laughed. 

And most of all, you let Steve love you. And he thinks— he thought— you loved him back. That was the way of things. He’d brought you back, and you loved him for it. It was right. It was natural. It was how things are supposed to be.

He just had to make them so again.

At first, Steve hadn’t known why, when you’d thrown the door to his parents’ house open before he’d even reached it, you looked like you were positively glowing from the inside. When you smiled at him, eyes big and wide and soft, he thought you were just happy it was finally summertime. But when you pulled him inside, fingers wrapped around his thumb to drag him stumbling up the stairs toward his bedroom, he thought— he thought— that maybe it was because you just wanted him. Fully and unabashedly, so much so that you couldn’t wait to peel his Family Video vest from his shoulders before pushing him against his wooden door and pouncing on him to demonstrate the depth of your deep and abiding love.

Instead, you led him to his bedroom, but you didn’t push him up against the wall. No, instead, you let his thumb drop as he stood frozen in the doorway at the sight of Eddie Munson, pale and trembling, dark eyes sunken but alert, calloused palms no longer limp on asphalt but folded in his lap as he sat on the corner of Steve’s bed, staining the comforter with deep, rich dirt.

“Steve,” you whispered, your beloved voice like reverence incarnate. “Look. It’s Eddie.”

No, Steve thought. It’s not Eddie. That thing might look like Eddie; it might have his nose and lips, his lanky limbs and bedraggled hair and cheap tattoos; but the pallor of its skin and the deep ruby red of its eyes belied the creature it truly was. After all, Steve has experiences in such matters.

But of all the things he told himself— that he had no other choice; that it was to save you from more heartache and pain; that it was a matter of right and wrong, natural and unnatural; that he had to put things back the way they were supposed to be— Steve couldn’t quite convince himself that, when you leaned your temple against his dirty curls and traced your fingers over the cluster of bats in his inner elbow, the person you were holding wasn’t Eddie Munson.

He couldn’t quite convince himself, but that wasn’t enough to stop him.

Steve feigned a relieved laugh, folding his arms leaning casually against the doorframe. “Shit, Munson, are you okay?” he asked, succeeding in sounding sincere. “I never thought I’d see you again.”

Eddie’s lips tilt in a lopsided smile, though it’s half a grimace. His voice is husky, creaky with disuse, but still brash and warm like Steve remembers it. “Yeah,” he sighs, “me neither. I’m…” he chuckles weakly. “I’ve been better.” 

Steve could’ve sworn he saw Eddie’s eye’s flash, but maybe it was just something else he told himself after the fact to make the explanation easier. 

“I’ll bet,” Steve said companionably. “Hey, sweetheart—” He didn’t miss the flicker that passed from Eddie’s expression onto yours, as if bouncing from one heart to the next. “—why don’t you go get the first aid kit from the bathroom? I bet Munson here could use some fixing up.”

Steve watched as you lifted your head from Eddie’s shoulder and gazed at him for one short moment— a moment filled with eyes all big and wide and soft, the eyes he’d seen on you at the front door— before you withdrew your arm from his and rose from the bed. “Okay,” you said, smiling at Steve again, face so smooth with innocent trust as you floated by him into the hallway.

The wooden door closed behind you with a soft snap.

-

You find the first aid kit under the bathroom sink, next to a can of Lysol and a spare box of tissues. You’ve just straightened to your knees when the hairs on the back of your neck raise on end, and that’s the only warning you have before you’re hit with a wave of acute nausea, viscous as it squeezes your gut like a vice. Faintly, as if down the hall, there’s a hoarse cry and then the sound of something heavy falling over, like a giant sack of potatoes thudding in a great, limp heap upon the floorboards.

And then all is silent. 

The wave of nausea passes and the prickles on your skin ease. You rise to your feet, plastic handle clasped in your hand as your knees knock with the residual shock of that fleeting but intense sensation. The physical illness is gone, but a familiar sense of doom lingers— heavy and stifling, like that vest of denim and pins you’d worn every day before Steve draped it to rest at the makeshift grave you and Dustin had dug in the corner of the cemetery. Distantly, as you pad over the carpet of the hallway towards that familiar white-paneled door, you wonder whether it’ll still be there if want to return it to its rightful owner.

You reach the door, but when you jiggle the golden handle, it’s locked. “Eddie?” you call, brows scrunched with confusion. “Steve?” 

A chill shivers down your spine when you hear another thump, lighter than before but similar in sound, like the slump of some other root vegetable. A smaller one. Maybe some carrots.

There is no answer, so you call again. “Eddie? Steve? What’s going on?” You tap your fingernail against the paint of the wooden door. “It’s just me,” you say, wondering if they’ve also become wary of that heavy thump you’d heard. “I have the first aid kit.”

There is a beat of silence, and then another, and that feeling of doom is deepening now— ringing in your ears, louder and louder, until it begins to sound like a ghostly cry, the howling of a familiar name in an equally familiar voice.

But then the door flies open. Steve is standing there: chest heaving, hazel eyes wide, typically-golden face pale and stained with deep red that streaks like teardrops down to his chin. You don’t look at the bat hanging loosely from his broad fist, the one covered with jagged nails that he still keeps under his bed just in case. You don’t look at the dark-clad legs spread in a sickening splay on the floor where they’d fallen, one dirty white Reebok turned out as if in comfortable, lazy sleep. You keep your eyes on Steve’s face— the face of the man whose palms you kissed, whom you let cradle your cheek, whose hands sought the heat between your legs, even as you wished they were another’s. 

His name falls from your lips now as you whisper, “W-where’s Eddie?”

There will be much Steve says later to justify the way he has chosen to make things right, but now, he answers your question with simply this:

“He’s dead, again.”

Home from Timonium and the girls are basking. I am starting to lean towards the idea that zippy Maybe a female just a younger female as opposed to the others. turtles are one of the ancient animals who demonstrate sexual dimorphism much more visibly than most other animals. Now, the turtle I had before was a Mississippi map turtle. Gammy was awesome and I loved her. Sadly and much to my own personal Guilt complex, I believe that gammy died From being egg bound And in my research of turtles I had not learned about that particular fact yet.. The owners of both of my clutches of turtles Gave no regard To their diet and what should beB. Gentlemen Fed the turtle On Table scraps and raw fish.. Gammy's owner Did act actually give her pellets But as far as any kind of vegetation In their diet Both clutches of turtles received absolutely 0 vegetation. I do not know exactly how old the turtles are And I also don't know What they were fed when and how. But both of these guys when they drop their turtles off to me Told me What they were feeding them so I could What they were feeding them so I could continue that... Then I started to read and actually learned What their diet should be. It's very easy To swallow the concept Of 50%50% vegetation and 50% protein I mean how hard is that And if you're gonna have an animal and the animals gonna rely on yo You have a responsibility To not fail that animal and to provide what it needs Especially if you willfully taken it out of the wild where it belongs in the 1st place anyway. Feeding The turtle On 100% protein From the time it's a baby Will start the form pyramiding On the backs of the turtle... That is where Each section Of the shell of the turtle Begins to pop up like a little. And so each section has it's own little point. When it's not so bad It has the unfortunate Aesthetic That it actually looks kind of cool. The truth is that as it progresses The mutation of the bone matter of the shell of the turtle Slowly but never so surely malforms and mutates. This can render the turtle disabled To coin a common term Because it hinders the turtles ability to get around Not to mention it's very painful process You have to remember that the shell of a turtle Is basically it's skeleton on the outside and that when you brush ever so lightly on the shell it feels bad. I pet my turtles all the time. They have come Love that They really are like my little dogs. They come They come and beg for food And they also come and come and beg for loving. And around here at the manor we aim to provide. All the turtles get all the loving they need. They deserve it after all they've been through.

Anyway before I tangentally got side tracked, This post was supposed to be about zippy. Since the beginning when they were 1st dropped off to me I've thought that zippy was male. Predominantly because of his size. He is smaller than the other 2 turtles..... And as I was explaining turtle's are very famous for their And as I was explaining turtle are very famous for their sexual dimorphism and what that means is that the males are smaller than the females. As I was saying my Mississippi map turtle Who passed away Was a very large female.. In my research I found out that the males Of that particular genus Are very small as opposed to the adult females. In fact it's rather comical. The males look like they could be pets of the female They are so small... So from the beginning we thought that zippy is more than likely a male and that pancake and waffle are females... Some of their social behaviors seem to support that because Zippy seems to favor pancake And they both both seem to leave waffle out as the 3rd wheel. But I changed their diet some months back and since they've been eating better and eating the correct kind of food And getting the vegetation that they need to help the pyramid process Which which is permanent you cannot reverse it you can only Halt it's relentless march. Zippy has been putting on weight and has doubled in size Since we changed the diet. I have a sneaky suspicion That zip is awesome also a female. Which puts the worry in me That They get to a certain point in their life They become increasingly and inevitably territorial... That song that something that I have read in my research As well as seeing many people who have red eared sliders Talking about how they become territorial and they will kill each other Just for the fact that they're there. And that means at some point I will probably have to separate them And start another tank. I love these girls so much That I will literally Split that into 3 separate tanks if Split that into 3 separate tanks if I have to. But that will be the end of the tanks being in the living room Because the floor just will not take it. I've already got 1. I've already got 1 Volkswagen in my living room... So they will have to go down stairs into the basement where it's a concrete floor and I don't have to worry about that but that's So they will have to go down stairs into the basement where it's a concrete floor and I don't have to worry about that but that's okay I can make a nice turtle room Downstairs And I'm already planning on doing that. Poor artemisia I need to have a music room and a turtle room LOL There may not be many rooms in rooms left....

stories i om-nom-nom'd :: april 2024 (week 2)

I honestly didn't nom through too much because this week was mostly spent on my 'main' blog which is by the site's terms my side blog but let's be real, that's where I'm most active, it's my main blog 😤 Anyways, most of the week was spent reading through my friends' and fellow writers' stories and progressing my Tumblr TBR, writing my own stories, and also downloading and posting all the photos that came out this week from the events that Tom Hiddleston attended (legend has it, I'm still downloading).

As always, spoilers, thots, and thoughts all under the cut

documentaries

The Antisocial Network

I wasn't expecting this to take the turn that it did, documenting the butterfly effect of the creation of 4chan and how it snowballed into January 6, 2021. I ended up liking this a bit more than I expected going in, but I also have a little bit of an opinion…some of these guys really shot themselves in the foot revealing themselves to be a part of Anonymous because now…well they're kinda the opposite 🥴

Quiet on Set: Breaking the Silence

The check in with the people that were interviewed felt like a necessary part of the entire process, but honestly…there was something in the vibe of this episode's execution that felt off to me. It was like the host was putting on a performance like they were filming in front of a studio audience and the tone just felt like it was too chipper if that makes sense? Like you're supposed to be checking in on them and asking them how they've felt since the documentary came out and how their lives have been since, so why are you sounding like you're reading them today's headlines? Like I can't believe I'm even saying this but Trisha Paytas did better--

It just felt a little heavy-handed to me, but I can get behind the concept of having this follow-up episode that addressed the absolute garbage fire of a video that Foot Man put out into the internet trying to do damage control but honestly should've just been titled "Dan Schneider digs his own grave even deeper for 20 minutes straight".

Delicious: True Love

Stage 5, Day 1: Emily arrives back home to her restaurant/apartment in Snuggford and the poor beb's so heartbroken and hyper-focused on that, that she doesn't even notice there's a big gaping hole in the middle of her restaurant, with a burst pipe making an accidental water fountain. Patrick only sees her going upstairs to unpack and assumes that her trip went well and basically declares to her family and her best friend that now that she's got her love and she's happy, there's no more reason for him to stay.

Dude no, we've officially entered idiots in love stage. 😩

The day ends with Emily sobbing the second her mom goes up and checks in on her. I'm gonna say one more time for good measure, if OG story Jean-Paul has zero haters, I am dead.

Stage 5, Day 2: Emily's parents are worried about her since she hasn't come back down from her apartment, and Francois gives her some tough love telling her to at least show up for work because he won't make excuses for her absence. Nothing much happens on this day, since she goes straight back upstairs when the shift's over, other than her mom Evelyn basically saying she should have meddled in the beginning by never giving her the letter to begin with.

All I'm gonna say is…remake Evelyn is definitely the better Evelyn 🥴

Stage 5, Day 3: Patrick reveals that he's moving to New York since his business is growing and the new shop's gonna need his attention. Then Angela, Emily's little sister, shows up with puppies and asks her all about Paris, which causes Evelyn to shout at Angela rather than just calmly tell her that it's a sensitive topic (Clear to see where Evelyn's playing favorites). Angela leaves the restaurant but instructs one of the puppies to stay behind with Emily, which kicks off our side quest for this level where we call back the pup when he strays from Emily's side.

The day ends with Emily keeping the pup with her for a day or two, and talking to her mom about what happened in Paris.

Stage 5, Day 4: The big hole in the middle of the restaurant's all fixed, and it's bringing in more foot traffic to the restaurant. Emily makes a note to call to have the floors polished, mentioning she likes the floral scent, and Francois tells her that Patrick's moving to New York. He also accidentally kickstarts the dreaded miscommunication trope because he said "something about someone needing his attention there".

Gotta love them himbo besties 🥴

Stage 5, Day 5: Emily gets to see more of Patrick's green flag status when he tends to a kid that hurt herself when she tripped, taking the kid's mind off the pain and giving her a little flower and doing a magic trick. Then he confirms with Emily that yes, he's moving to New York because "it's time to move on", and I wanna bonk some heads together all over again. Francois tells her that she and Patrick have been flirting for so long that it's like "watching the same car crash on repeat" and he tells his therapist about it sometimes, and then accidentally breaks the vase that Patrick put a rose he set aside for Emily in, scattering marbles all over the floor and giving us our side mission for this level.

The day ends with Emily turning down an offer for a girls night out, and holding on to the rose from earlier.

Stage 5, Day 6: We officially unlock this stage's Entertainer, which is Francois with Emily's new puppy from Angela. Not much happens other than at the end of the day, the previous owner of the restaurant Mr Farrell visits the place to reminisce, and he talks about his "one that got away" because he was a teenage boy that fapped over Marilyn Monroe (my words, not his). Then one day when he finally came to his senses, the girl already stopped showing up at the restaurant.

Stage 5, Day 7: Emily's heart's finally starting to heal and she wakes up realizing that her apartment's a total mess ever since she got home and started her one-woman misery party. She still has the rose from Patrick at the center of her living area, and she reads a card that basically boils down to "Emily babes wake up your true love's been right in front of you literally giving you flowers every day". Unfortunately, that last scene from the previous day feels like heavy-handed foreshadowing because Patrick says goodbye to Emily after giving her one last delivery of fresh flowers for the restaurant.

The day ends with Mr Farrell bidding Emily and his old restaurant goodbye since he's moving to Florida to stay with friends, and a regular customer Gladys walks in looking for her purse, and wouldn't you know, it's Mr Farrell's TOTGA, and she moved back to Snuggford after her husband passed away so she could be closer to family. This makes Mr Farrell decide that he doesn't wanna move to Florida anymore.

Undercover: Blood Bonds

Chapter 10: Vera clocks in for the morning shift and finds Bluejay in Club with her pajamas on, finding out that she doesn't have a place to stay so she's been sleeping in the backroom. Vera offers her to move in so she doesn't catch a case for breaking in. At the end of the shift, Jericho reveals he has mind control powers and he used them to make Crystal exit the room before he ordered Mr Smirnov to get rid of Vera because she's asking too many questions.

Chapter 11: Vera meets up with Hank at a pub called Smokin' Wheels, and he tells her that Mr Smirnov's on a mission to get her sacked. Lilly's ex boyfriend Sam shows up and Vera spends that shift trying not to get noticed by Sam. At the end of the shift, we get a flashback of Sam being overprotective but concerned about Lilly coming home late and he pulls the "you're mine" card, while Lilly walks away going "You don't know anything".

Pretty sure the cops are wrong that Sam's the culprit and it's actually Mr Mind Control with the glowy red eyes Jericho that they should be looking up.

HIII HOWS MY FAVORITE ^_^

MY GIRLFRENNN >_< I’m good I’m getting ready for school soon😰 fml anyways HII BEB HOW R YOUUU

[themotelchicks]

🚨NEW BEB🚨

Let's welcome the newest addition to The Motel Chicks, Baby!! She is as her name says, a baby 🥹 I estimate her to be roughly 9months old. She's been with us now for two weeks.

& while she did immediately integrate herself to the flock, the rest of the hens still haven't fully accepted her and chase her off a lot. Will put her full rescue story under a read more in case it gets rambly bc her situation is one I had Opinions on lol

So I'm not saying I kidnapped her, but I'm not denying it either shhhh 🤫 she showed up in my neighborhood last July, with two others & at the time they all looked like they were around 3 months old based on their size (compared them to pics of my girls when they were the same size). I assumed they were strays since we get a lot of random chickens just wandering around in my area bc lots of ppl keep them but don't keep them as contained as I work to keep mine.

Anyway turned out they belonged to someone & she had bought them for her kids (this is how I acquired the rest of my birds, bc the neighbor's girlfriend kept buying them and then they broke up and she left them all and the neighbor didn't really care about them much) so they were just left to wander the street for a while

They didn't have a coop until a month or two later. I never saw anyone close it up at night.

One day, there were suddenly only two of them. Not surprising. We have hawks, raccoons, tons of dogs in the area. Something probably got her.

It's been a few more months now. The 2nd baby turns out to be a rooster. Which is good, at least the little hen will have protection now. They started hanging out in my front garden more and more often.

I maybe started to feed them since I never saw them being fed, there weren't any dishes or anything out for them aside from one small water thing.

Fast forward to the beginning of January: the rooster has suddenly disappeared overnight. Presumably taken from the coop that had still been left open 24/7. Baby was now alone & there were more hawks flying around lately and it had been really cold and raining.

So I did the only thing I could think of: I opened my fence and let her into the yard with my flock (ahh bad biosecurity i know but I'd been keeping an eye on her this whole time and checking her poo for weird stuff, she's healthy)

She slept in my coop that night, and the next night and the next... Nobody came asking after her like they had before when I caught all 3 thinking they were strays. It's been weeks now and not a peep from anyone wanting her back.

So I guess she's mine now! She's very sweet.

i'm stuck in bed for the weekend…possibly longer

it was my own doing and i was a complete nimrod. i'll spare you the details on how i got it but my left foot and my right knee is swollen from taking a fall while i was at work. and my right wrist is sore from how i landed so i didn't even get it the fun way (booooooo)

anyways, this means that i have significantly more time to write and plan and read, so there will potentially be a good dent in my todo list now that i'm on healing mode 💖🫡

now that said…just a quick lil update on the upcoming chapter of 'relinquish the crown'…

it's currently at 6.2k words and counting. please ready yourselves for a long boi of a chapter. prep your wine. prep your punching bags because you might need 'em. prep your feels because Loki's about to be precious beb for his little princess again.

and also prep yourselves for 2 companion pieces to come out for this upcoming chapter because my brain doesn't wanna stop so neither will the writing 🤡🫠

[machetegirl109]

i'm gonna move back to my diary but before i go i just want to put it out there that whenever depression beats me up like a poor small and ugly rag doll i go to spotify and i listen to The Climb by miley cyrus and i also listen to gospel bc God help me wth.. anyways i know things will get better even if its kinda sucky rn 😌 i trust i trust

sending love and light to all of u peace out my sexy bebs fans and peoples ✌🏻 ☮️ 🩵

[bebx]

I love your doomreed zombie fic!! Is it over or are you still adding chapters? 🤩

thank you!! I mean the plan is to add more chapters, since I still have several ideas jotted roughly down in my notebook (as in what'll happen next, how I want things to go, etc), and I do plan on getting to actually write them. so that's the plan. there should be more chapters soon!

I only didn't mark the fic as 'incomplete' just in case life happened and — worst case scenario — I never got to continue it, so then at least it would still somewhat end in a cliffhanger, but it'd still be an ending nonetheless. but let's not go there. I have every reason to believe I'll continue writing the fic because I love these characters too much to abandon the fic.

anyway, for those of you who are interested, here's the fic! (just posted a new chapter!)
