help, my boyfriend has no sex drive! (5)

Pairing: Kenma x reader (f)

Contents: smut; established relationship; feminization, "femboy", heavy praise kink (Kenma); rough sex; creampie; Christmas themes

Words: 3.4k

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4

“But as long as you’d love me so—

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooow”

Kenma tries not to visibly cringe at the cheery music as he emerges from his office, finally finished with his obligatory three-hour “Christmas special” stream.

As you had been for the past month, you’re softly singing along to some Christmas carol playing from your shitty laptop speaker. You had busied yourself with reorganizing the presents under the full-sized tree—something you had insisted on buying for the apartment.

Kenma had little more interest in most holidays than the “free day from school” perks. But as he watches you scurry around your shared living room wearing candy cane-themed stockings, an oversized ugly Christmas sweater, and a hundred-yen-store Santa hat, Kenma is thankful you had expressed your desire to celebrate with him. He will gladly participate in anything that makes you this innocently cheerful. 

Your background music is abruptly cut short and you frown when you realize your laptop has just died again. But the disappointment is cut short when you notice Kenma, standing awkwardly by the couch in the dark Christmas sweater you had insisted he wear for his stream. 

“KenKen—your stream is over?”

Kenma smiles softly at how eager you look, eyes practically sparkling. 

“Yeah, I’m free now. You wanted to open presents, right?” 

You nod quickly, guiding him to the couch and leaving only to retrieve a cup of hot cocoa—extra whipped cream—and a slice of homemade apple pie, placing them both in front of him on the coffee table. He thanks you quietly, predictably digging into the apple pie first. 

“So I think we should start with your family’s gifts first,” you begin, already passing him a small stack of presents, all wrapped in identical green and red paper. 

After nearly half an hour you two had finally worked your way through nearly all of the presents. Most were the typical things–an abhorrent amount of socks and pajamas from your families, Kenma’s mother gifting both of you very cringey matching couple sets with any video game character she saw. You had to try very hard not to laugh at Kenma’s face when you opened a matching Kirby and Jigglypuff sweater set with a handwritten heart note.

“Aww, don’t pout KenKen, your mom was just being thoughtful.” “They’re not even in the same series.” 

A few gifts had been surprising–namely Kuroo’s cat ear headphones—to which Kenma promptly sent a text telling Kuroo to never buy him Christmas gift ever again— and even a signed pro jersey from Hinata. Even if he didn’t voice it, you noticed how touched Kenma seemed by the gesture and you made a mental note to buy something to display it in the apartment. A few gifts were even from Kenma’s fans, sending various game merchandise, snacks from their country, and even fan art of the two of you. 

Finally, the last remaining gifts were the ones you made for each other. You didn’t want to pressure Kenma to buy you anything fancy–and you also couldn’t afford to reciprocate with anything fancy, so you set a strict budget. 

Kenma was unexpectedly good at keeping secrets so you weren’t sure what he had gotten you–probably a game he wanted you to play together but the box was unexpectedly big—

Regardless, you knew what you got him , and it was something you had been thinking about for months. Needless to say, you were eager for him to open it. 

“Who should go firs—”

“I’ll go!”

Kenma raises a brow but complies as you all but shove your gift into his hands. The outside is unassuming—a flat package wrapped in red paper with a holographic silver stick-on bow in the center. Somehow, he feels vaguely uneasy. 

Cautiously, Kenma begins unwrapping the gift. You practically vibrate with excitement in your seat, eagerly watching as his thin fingers peel away the final layers of colorful paper. 

Finally, your present reveals itself, soft nylon fabric in a bright red shade. Kenma seems confused, unsure of what exactly he is looking at until he shifts and the fabric unravels into two long strips. 

“Ta-daa,” you cheer, “your very own pair of thigh-high stockings!”

Kenma looks horrified. 

“This is a joke,” Kenma states, sounding like he’s trying to convince himself just as much as you. 

“What do you mean? Don’t you like them? Look, they’re even Christmas-themed!”

You guide his hands over to the top of the socks where a large red ribbon sits. Two short red strings dangle the ribbon with a small, fuzzy white ball at the end each. You make him squeeze the soft ball for good measure. His expression doesn’t change. 

“Why would you buy me these? You wasted actual, real-life money for this,” Kenma bemoans. 

“Didn’t your fans suggest something like this before? I think they called them programmer socks—”

“ Oh my god please stop talking.”

Kenma lets out a long, suffering groan as you eye him with an absolute shit-eating grin.

It’s fine, he thinks. You wanted to be a little shit like Kuroo but it was just a prank. He could probably Venmo back the money you wasted on this and never have to think of this situation ever again. He’ll toss them in the back of the closet next to those cat ear headphones Kuroo bought him. 

He is proven wrong when you nudge his shin with your own stocking-clad toes and give him an expectant look. 

“Well?”

“What?”

“Aren’t you going to try them on?”

Kenma’s brain very obviously fries and you have to resist the urge to laugh at his expression. 

“C’mon, I spent actual, real-life money on these," you tease, throwing his words back at him, "I wanna see you wear them at least once!”

“You have to be joking,” he all but whines. 

Your excited expression tells him you are very much not joking. Kenma considers refusing more firmly. He knows you genuinely care about him and would never push him to do something he was uncomfortable with—or at least so long as it wouldn’t actually kill him.  

But your eyes are wide and practically sparkling as you look at him expectantly with that cute little grin–the crippling humiliation that will likely haunt him every night for the rest of his life is nothing compared to your happiness. Kenma sighs deeply and you know you’ve won. 

He ignores your excited squeals as he stands up and shuffles towards the bathroom in something akin to a walk of shame. 

As Kenma stares at his own lithe form in the mirror he’s positive that he has never felt so mortified in his whole life. Not when he accidentally set a ball into Lev’s face during a match in high school. Not when he missed his ult in a team fight and cost his team the ranked match in League. Not even when he came so hard he nearly passed out while getting his dick sucked during a live stream. 

Kenma can barely even recognize himself in the mirror, eyes flitting from his familiar golden gaze down to his oversized black and white Nightmare Before Christmas sweater and, finally, to his thin legs wrapped in an inappropriately bright red pair of thigh-high socks.

Somehow, the stockings feel even more exposing than if he were just naked. He feels like some cheap, poorly drawn femboy character in a hentai. One of his first thoughts was they don’t look nearly as appealing on him as they do on you. His legs are too lanky–straight and lean from years of volleyball but missing the curve of healthy fat yours have. His face heats up as he visualizes your thighs currently clad in your own pair of red and white striped stockings. 

“KenKen are you ready yet? You’re taking foreeeeever!”

His heart rate picks up and he tries to remind himself it's just you, the person who makes him feel safest. He’s going to go out there, you’re going to see how cringe he looks, then you'll both laugh and never talk about this again. 

He takes a deep breath and opens the door, immediately meeting your gaze as you sit on the couch where he left you. Breath bated, he watches as your eyes dart down his body, darting around his lower half with your mouth agape. He tries his best not to squirm under your stare. 

“Fuck, Ken,” you chuckle breathily, “you look amazing.”

Kenma’s breath hitches, certainly not expecting that type of response. As you continue to take him in he realizes your gaze looks almost hungry, like you’re ready to devour him–shit, are you seriously into this?

He finds his answer in the way you motion him over, helpless in how his body obeys before he can even process the silent request. You reach out hesitantly, fingertips so close to his thighs he can feel your body heat even through the thin fabric. You glance up at him, asking permission, and he’s nodding immediately, desperate for your touch.

Your fingers land near his left knee, trailing up slowly and making his whole body tremble lightly. When your fingertips catch on the hem of the stockings he nearly gasps and then you're brushing his soft skin directly, only stopping when you reach the edge of the sweater that’s just barely covering his rapidly hardening cock. 

“You’re so pretty,” you praise, "my pretty boy."

Kenma makes a choked sound, surprised and mildly offended but also awfully turned on to hear any form of praise from your lips. No, he wants to argue, you’re the pretty one –but you look up at him, so pleased, that he can’t remember how to speak. 

“And now we match,” you sing, tone innocent as you raise your leg between his own. His eyes follow, nearly hypnotized by the contrast between your red-and-white stockings against his red ones before your clothed shin brushes against his crotch in a way that is anything but innocent. He has to grab the back of the couch near your head to keep his knees from buckling as he groans.

You seem to take some form of pity on him because you let up on his crotch with a giggle, making room for him to sit down beside you and catch his breath. Even when you let him rest your attention never strays from the item of clothing, hand idly stroking his thigh while you continue to drink in the sight of his pale skin contrasting with the scarlet cloth. 

“Do you really like it that much,” he asks, almost hesitant. 

He’s surprised at how sheepish you become, moving your hand away as your face slightly flushes. 

“Um–yeah. I know it’s kinda weird, sorry, you just look really pretty sometimes.”

Kenma frowns slightly and takes your hand back, returning it to his thigh with his own on top of yours. The action was meant to reassure you but it felt too bold and he avoids eye contact as he speaks.

“You don’t have to apologize, I don’t hate it…”

He sees the way you perk up, practically beaming, from the corner of his eye and is quick to clarify less you try to buy him a pair of panties or something next year. 

“It’s not my thing—I prefer seeing you in cute clothes…but I can try things like this if it makes you this happy.”

“Aww, KenKen, that’s so sweet!”

Kenma huffs, breath nearly knocked out of him when you launch yourself into his chest, planting noisy kisses all over his face. He tries his best to scowl but he’s pretty sure he’s failing by the way you giggle at his expression. Your Santa hat gets knocked off in the commotion but neither of you care. Kenma even takes the opportunity to bury his fingers in your messy hair as your kisses finally focus on his lips. 

Eventually, the kisses deepen, morphing from quick pecks to slow and open-mouthed. Your tongue invades his mouth, gravity giving you a clear advantage as you take charge of this kiss. But not one to easily accept defeat, Kenma takes the opportunity to grab a handful of your ass in a way that has you gasping in surprise. You start to grind on him, both of you letting out soft sounds between kisses. 

It’s you who pulls away first, making Kenma softly whine in protest, gaze hazy as he blinks up at you in question. 

“Wanna ride you,” you explain simply. 

Kenma hisses out his approval and obediently waits as you pull down your lounge shorts. You yank them down your legs and fling them across the living room with a little too much force, accidentally hitting the Christmas tree. You laugh at the sight of your fuzzy white shorts hanging on the tree like some soft of kinky Christmas ornament but Kenma is quick to redirect your attention by pulling you back down for another kiss. 

He grips your ass again, this time bare, and moves his fingers to prepare you for his dick but—

He abruptly stops and pulls away from the kiss in shock. 

“You’re already this wet?” His expression looks genuinely surprised and you can’t help but giggle. 

“I told you, you look really pretty.”

Kenma groans, not sure if he’s annoyed or turned on but his cock throbs all the same. You pull up the bottom half of his sweater to reach his black boxers. He’s so hard that it's almost difficult to get them off but he helps you pull them down just enough to free his leaking cock. It takes a moment to properly position yourself from this new angle, hindered by your bulky sweater and the headrest of the couch digging into your side but you manage to guide his leaky head to your drenched hole and ease down.

You both groan as he breaches your cunt, your wetness making the slide smooth even as you reach his thick base.

“F-fuck, Ken, you always feel so good,” you moan.

The praise feels like a punch to the gut and he’s thankful he’s already lying down so he can’t embarrass himself further by losing his balance. He’s coming to realize even if feminization isn’t his thing, praise might be. He thinks he'd do just about anything if it pleased you—if it made you look down at him with those shiny eyes and call him your good boy—fuck. Kenma has to force himself back to reality before he makes himself cum too quickly just by his own fantasies. 

You readjust your weight, leaning back and using his bent knees as leverage. Your fingers dig into the fabric of his stockings as you begin to move, raising to his tip before dropping your whole weight down. It feels good—mind-numbingly so—but he finds it looks even better. The angle you put yourself into gives him an unobstructed view of your face–eyes pinched closed and reddened lips open in pleasure, your breasts–soft and bouncing with every movement–and, best of all, your tight hole sucking him in with every uptake. 

He can’t tear his eyes away from where the two of you are connected. A creamy white ring is quickly forming at the base of his cock from how soaked you are, thin strings sticking to your pussy like webs. Framing it all are your thick thighs, muscles straining with your movements and squeezed by those god damned red-and-white striped thigh highs.

Fuck, he wishes he could record this.

He has apparently said that aloud on accident because now you’re grinning down at him conspiratorially. 

“Y-yeah?” you stutter out, “you wanna make a movie with me?”

Kenma doesn’t verbally answer but he doesn’t need to. Instead, he’s gripping your hips and guiding your pace, making you bounce on his cock faster while his own hips start to meet your thrusts. 

It has only been a few minutes but it's becoming clear your stamina is far from athletic. Your thighs burn and your pace stumbles but Kenma is quick to take advantage of the situation, using a strength you didn’t know he was capable of to roll you over and push you face down. 

“Kenma, wh—oh!”

Any dissent you had intended to make is abruptly cut off when your boyfriend, one knee digging into the couch for leverage, feeds his length back into your greedy hole and sets a pace that has you nearly screaming. His hips snap into you, hard, and you scramble to find something to hold on to. One hand finds the armrest of the couch near your head, nails nearly tearing into the fabric, while the other ends up behind you, digging into his thigh as he rams his hips into you. You’re drooling as you manage to stutter out a barely coherent statement through your moans.

“K-Ken, so h-hard, fuck—”

“Yeah,” He replies, sounding breathless but not nearly as wrecked as you. You curse his retired high school athlete stamina. 

“Am I still your pretty boy?”

The question momentarily shocks you. You aren’t sure what response he’s looking for but you answer honestly, too fucked out to ponder on it. 

“Y-yesyesyes, the prettiest! ”

“You like getting fucked by your pretty boy?”

“Yeeeess, I l-love it—oh god—”

One hand reaches up to grip your hair, tugging your hair in a way you aren’t sure is punishment or a reward. You cry out all the same, cunt squeezing him for dear life as he hits something deep deep deep inside of you. You’re fairly certain you’ve never been fucked this hard in your life. The sweet, no-sex-drive-having boyfriend trope becomes little more than a pipe dream as his hips smack into your ass without reprieve. 

“‘m g-gonna cum,” you warn.

Kenma’s grip on your hip tightens and he adjusts his angle to hit the spot he knows makes your toes curl and your pitch turns airy. The nail in the coffin comes when he releases your hair, but only to start rubbing your clit, remembering your favorite rhythm from the time he watched you masturbate. 

Expectedly, you cum, toes curling and squeals reaching a pitch you think might cause your boyfriend hearing damage. Your whole body seizes with your orgasm, cunt spasming and thighs squeezing shit as you please for him to stop, go harder–you aren’t sure. 

Kenma forces you to ride through it, fucking you even as your hips stutter violently and never letting up on your pulsating nub. It's only when you're nearing tears from the overstimulation that Kenma stops, moaning sweetly as his own orgasm overtakes him. He collapses against you in exhaustion as warmth fills you from deep inside, making a mess on your thighs as it gushes out between you. 

“Mm, y’r heavyyy,” you complain sleepily. 

Kenma grunts something in response but doesn’t bother moving. In fact, he seems to make himself more comfortable by moving his hands to find your own. He slips his long fingers in the spaces between your own, locking your hands together. Your heart swells at the action, constantly reminded how much this boy loves you even when he doesn't vocalize it very often.  

You allow him a few more moments of peace, listening to his harsh pants die down into something more calm before you speak again. 

“By the way, what was my present?”

Kenma stiffens against you, having completely forgotten about Christmas altogether. Quickly, he pulls away from you and the loss of warmth almost makes you regret saying anything. On shaky legs, Kenma shuffles over to the forgotten box, wrapped in royal blue paper and topped with a pretty gold ribbon. He comes back to the couch, gingerly helping you sit up before placing the box on your lap. 

You’re immediately surprised by the hefty weight of the box and grow curious as you tear at the paper. Within seconds, the logo and picture on the box become clear, making you gasp in shock. 

“Kenmaaaa,” you whine, trying not to tear up as you pout at him. 

To his credit, Kenma looks honestly guilty as he avoids your eyes. 

“We set a twenty-thousand-yen spending limit, ” you remind him.

“I know but—this is basically a necessity. Your old one was going to die any day now,” Kenma reasons, helping you pull out the shiny new laptop –in rose gold no less. 

“And it's a gaming laptop–that means you can play with me more so it’s basically a gift for me more than you,” he continues. 

You know he’s absolutely pulling excuses out of his ass but you can’t help the rush of affection at how much Kenma wants to spoil you. He always buys you the things you want, even when you insist on not wanting to take advantage of him as a wealthy streamer and businessman. He usually comes up with some excuse, I was going to buy one anyway so we can share or I have too much money this month, taxes will be a hassle if I don’t spend it. 

But he is right–your old laptop was on its last leg and every time you opened a Word document for school you had to pray it wouldn’t crash before you could save your draft.

You softly smile as you trace the box with a finger, elated that he even remembered which color you wanted. He grins at how pleased you clearly are, even if you won’t say it. 

“Besides,” his grin suddenly turns sly as he places a hand on the swell of your hip, “I heard the webcam is really great for recording movies.”

New AI headphones let wearers listen to a single person in a crowd by looking at them just once. Noise-canceling headphones have gotten very good at creating an auditory blank slate. But allowing certain sounds from a wearer’s environment through the erasure still challenges researchers. The latest edition of Apple’s AirPods Pro, for instance, automatically adjusts sound levels for wearers—sensing when they’re in conversation, for instance—but the user has little control over whom to listen to or when this happens. Now, researchers have developed an artificial intelligence system that lets a user wearing headphones look at a person speaking for three to five seconds to “enroll” them. The system, called “Target Speech Hearing,” then cancels all other sounds in the environment and plays just the enrolled speaker’s voice in real time even as the listener moves around in noisy places and no longer faces the speaker.

A LIFE TO LIVE

bård “ faust ” eithun x reader x ( platonic! ) oc daughters

- general headcanons for bård as a girl dad!

this is very much long overdue since i got the pregnancy headcanons posted quite a while ago now! this was kind of hard to do in some ways since i was trying to write around him being in prison and such but hopefully it is still at least a little coherent hehe! is this good? i hope this is good <3

- view my metal masterlists here and here

reading music recommendations: the right way around by daughter - almost fantasy by fog lake

- to say that bård just completely fell in love with your daughter as soon as she was born would be one of the biggest understatements in the whole damn book!

✩ i mean, he was already in love with her when she was still growing and resting safely inside of your womb but when she was actually born? when he finally got to hold her small form in his arms and gently stroke her soft face? his love grew in ways he did not even think were possible, he thought he had already reached the maximum amount of love his heart could hold but he was oh so wrong and his heart only began to overflow with more true love from the minute she was placed in his arms for the first time…

- it might come as a surprise but the many restless nights that came after you gave birth to your daughter would later become just some of bårds absolute favourite memories to think back on later in life! though he often has trouble explaining exactly why he misses that tiring time in particular

✩ maybe he just misses awaking to her high pitched cries after what felt like just minutes of falling asleep next to you in your shared bed… maybe he just misses the rush of protectiveness that surged through his tired brain as the fog of sleep quickly cleared and he made sure you were still sleeping peacefully beside him before getting out of bed… maybe he misses picking your daughter up from her comfortable little cot that sits just beside your shared bed and pressing a loving kiss to her soft brown hair before gently bouncing her in a soothing motion as he rests his cheek down against her head to smell her hair… maybe he misses how quickly her cries would quiet down as soon as she was in his arms and how her breathing would even out as she fell back to sleep in his arms before he took her back to your shared bed to spend the rest of the night on his chest instead of in her crib…

- i mean, seriously! bård was just such a pro at calming her cries and every single time she got even a little upset, all she seemed to want was to be held in her fathers arms and to hear his gentle voice cooing down at her little cherub face as he brought his warm thumb up to wipe away her tiny tears from her apple red cheeks

“ oh, skatten min… you’re okay now, i have you… ” ( his voice is always so beyond soft and gentle whenever he speaks to her, he is a naturally very quiet speaker anyways but with his little baby girl? he speaks almost in a whisper and chuckles quietly when he hears her squeaks in response to hearing his voice directed at her )

✩ of course you could always calm her down and soothe her too but no one seems to do it better than bård does and she seems to just quiet down so much quicker in his arms than yours, she is very obviously a major daddys girl who simply views his arms as the safest and warmest place on this earth!

- soothing your daughter just came so incredibly natural to bård! the feelings of protectiveness that surges through his body and the overpowering needs to comfort her when she needs it most are so strong and so blatant in his mind no matter how tired he may be, no matter how exhausted he may be, both you and your daughter sit right at the very front of his mind at all times

✩ if your newborn daughter is having a bit of trouble getting back to sleep even after having quieted down from her cries in his arms, bård will usually plant a kiss on your sleeping face before leaving your shared bedroom with your daughter held comfortably in his arms to warm up some milk for her! he would stand by the small window of your apartment kitchen as the milk slowly heated up, his arm gently bouncing her up and down as his free hand points out towards the moon that shines through the glass pane before mumbling down to her about how beautiful it is whilst she stares up at him with sleepy brown doe eyes that mirror his own tired eyes

“ look at that moon, skatten min… you see it, hm? the moon is beautiful but you are much more beautiful, huh? yeah, i think you are… ” ( his face may be riddled with obvious exhaustion from so many sleepless nights with your newborn but a loving smile is still painted across his lips and admiration of his baby is still swirling around so heavily in his eyes as he looks down at her small form in his arms )

- when bård has fed her and made sure to burp her too, he is quick to join you back in your warm shared bed with your daughter still held in his arms as he lays flat on his back beside you, stretching his free arm around your sleeping body as you instinctively curl into his side whilst his occupied arm cradles your daughter safely atop his chest… he watches as her chocolate eyes begin to droop before falling completely closes as her breathing evens out and she falls asleep on his chest, very obviously soothed by her fathers soft breathing as his chest would slowly rise up before falling… only when he knows she is fast asleep and secure on top of him is when he will press a final kiss to her head before allowing himself to catch some well deserved winks too…

✩ this is where things get ever so slightly messy because in my mind, bård was arrested before your daughter had even turned one! he was swooped up by police just months after her birth but to go along accurately instead of inaccurately just for extra heartbreak, because he was serving a longer sentence than most bård did get weekends of very much temporary freedom to come home to you and his daughter every couple of months and he treasured those weekends so deeply, he did the absolute most he could ever think of doing with the both of you during those short weekends that seemed to fly by far too fast for his liking

- when bård had to leave you and your daughter, she could still easily be held in the crook of one arm but by the time he was allowed his first weekend leave, she was already a sweet little toddler with chubby cheeks who was quickly approaching her second birthday! of course he had seen her prior to his leave through simple prison visits when you would bring her along with you to see her father but seeing her outside of the cold feeling visitation room? getting to cuddle both you and her for a whole day with no fear at the back of his mind that it has to come to an end in just a short hour or two? it felt so different and so much more comforting to him, it felt so much more warm for him to wake up beside you in bed before having breakfast and watching cartoons with your daughter… it felt just like old times… it felt like just what he knew life would have been if not for what he had done… he so clearly knew this was the life he could be living every single day instead of occasional weekends if not for what happened that night and every time he has to go back in after a weekend out of prison, his heart seems to break all over again until he tries to just look on the bright side of hopefully getting another leave soon…

✩ the first few prison leaves is when his heart would break the most when it was time for him to go back to prison, that is when his heart would completely shatter in his chest at the realisation of just what his life is and will be for years now, it almost always used to end in long hugs being shared between the three of you and many tears being shed but over time, bård does get better at handling his emotions when it is time for him to go and he learns to focus on comforting your daughter as she clings on to him instead of accidentally making her more upset at the sight of her father crying too! do not get me wrong, his heart still breaks when he has to go back to prison but he gets better at hiding it from your daughter who still does not fully understand why she only gets to see him in a cold room or on distant weekends, he only really shows his heartbreak to you in the night before he has to go back where he will almost always completely break down in your arms as you cuddle up in bed

- if by some strange miracle bård did not get caught for the murder, it probably would not really change all that much about his feelings in some ways

✩ without being caught, he more so just lives with a strong sense of fear and nervousness constantly lurking in his mind as he wonders if every single day will be the day that he finally gets caught and had to leave the two of you! he would almost always be looking over his shoulder and would not even really enjoy leaving the house all that much out of worry that someone would see him and know something about what happened that night… the crippling feelings that surround him hurt so bad, they make him feel so strangely alienated as he realises his daughter will never have a normal father and it pains him to constantly have to think that any day could be his last day of freedom with his family so really, there is no majorly better way for it to turn out as bård would be deeply hurting in both outcomes…

- but enough of all that sad stuff, right? let me not just make you guys all melancholic and upset! let me just go back to all of the fluffy moments between him and your small family

✩ before everything terrible happened and your daughter was still a newborn, bård used to take her to helvete to visit your shared friend group all the time! sometimes you would join him but other times, you would just let him take her while you stayed back at your shared apartment and had some relaxation on his demand that you deserved it after giving him his baby, that you deserved to have a peaceful nap and a hot bath whilst he took her out for the day! every time, he would leave you with a slightly longing kiss to your soft lips before leaving your shared apartment with your daughter laying comfortably in her warm pram

- bård already very much knows he has a perfect little girl! from the second she was born and he got to admire her beautiful little face as she was held in his arms, he had been completely baffled as to how he had any part in co-creating something so beyond perfect… he could certainly understand her beauty coming from you but him too? it made close to no sense to him… he knows she has the most adorable face with big brown eyes that are always filled with such curiosity about the world surrounding her and chubby little cherub cheeks that are downright impossible to resist squishing which only ever causes a gummy smile to spread across her small face but his friends behaviour and actions around her really only demonstrated how obviously perfect she is…

✩ so many of his friends would often jokingly give him hell for being so obviously soft for both you and his baby girl but the second he brought her around them, they would crumble so quickly at the sight of her and melt into deep coos about how she was the cutest little thing they had ever seen, about how she was probably the only cute baby they had ever seen and she was so quiet! øystein especially appreciated just how silent she was every single time bård brought her over to helvete, he appreciated how she never seemed afraid of the low black metal record playing as white noise nor the black leather clad men admiring her as she is held up on her fathers hip

- seriously, øystein has never heard of a case of a baby being as deadly quiet as yours and bårds is but he certainly is not complaining! he may like loud music but a baby crying and screaming? not so much! he is always offering bård any open shifts at helvete in case he wants some extra cash and he makes sure bård knows that he can certainly bring his little girl along with him if he wants to, he would not mind seeing that adorable little face every time poked his head out of the back office

✩ by the time bård gets back from these little helvete visits, all he and your daughter ever want to do is go for a nap with you! he will greet you with a deep kiss before gently grabbing your arm, picking up your daughter in his arms and pulling you to your shared bedroom for a cuddle that will devolve into a deep sleep shared between the three of you within just minutes of becoming tangled under the thick blankets as your daughter rests on his chest

“ you okay, baby? did you have a nice bath? good… you wanna take a nap? i think i need a nap, and her too… ” ( the fact that your daughter needs a nap is always overtly obvious to both you and bård as you share a quiet chuckle at her droopy eyes and the way her head keeps bobbing down to rest on his shoulder as he slowly rocks her in his arms )

- before your daughter was even born, bård had picked up an old handheld camera that he often used to record you and completely random yet innocent times of the day during your pregnancy wether it be always zooming in on your bump to record the growth damn near every day, filming blurry close ups of the recent ultrasound you had got printed off, letting you record him as he attempted to assemble the cot before eventually throwing the paper instructions aside and walking off to make a phone call to tomas for some help! the little camera captured so much of your pregnancy and now that your daughter is born? the filming only gets even more common!

✩ bård films so much of your daughters life! wether it be simple little things like filming you as you hold her on your hip and help her put a bauble on the tree for her first christmas or filming her as she looks up at the camera from her cot whilst bård coos at her, wether it be bigger things like filming her first steps as both you and bård cheer her on with soft but enthusiastic voices! bård just loves capturing so many memories with her to eventually look back on

- you think bård is just going to have a daughter and not be teaching her all about drums as soon as she is old enough? come on! of course he would, he was sitting her on his knee with some thick earmuffs protecting her sensitive ears and playing his drums for her the minute she was old enough to sit up on her own! there are just three things he loves the absolute most in life and that is you, your daughter and his drums… some of the times your daughter was the most reactive in your womb was when you watched him practice and she would begin kicking in response as she obviously heard the drums, he knew right then and there that she would be a natural born drummer before she was even born and he was right!

✩ every single time he holds your daughter in his lap and plays some slightly less harsh songs for her, both of you can see her eyes completely flood with curiosity and interest at the muffled sound filling her ears as she watches his drumsticks move in front of her! did he buy her one of those cute little made for kids drum kit for christmas one year? well of course he did! though he would honestly let her practice at his own drums if she wanted to, anything of his is also hers by default in his mind! he will give her his drumsticks and hold her tiny hands in his as he guides her to gently tap the drums, chuckling down at her when she looks up at him in surprise from the noise before looking over at you and sending you a beaming smile

- when it was time for your daughter to begin attending primary school, bård told you to use your own surname for hers instead of his like it actually is on her birth certificate! this is not because he does not love her or because he does not see her as his daughter because of course he does, being with you and having her with you will forever be two of his greatest achievements in life but more so because he just absolutely does not want her to lose any opportunities of friendships or be picked on because people know who her father is and what he did… he knows that other children very most likely will not have the slightest idea of who he is at all but their parents likely will and if he knew they were telling their own children to stay away from her because of him? it would completely break his heart and he knows it is absolutely in the realm of shameful possibilities so he just does what he thinks is right and asks you to change her surname to yours when entering her into primary school, definitely not legally but just on the school papers…

✩ of course, you agree to do it! because unfortunately, you more than definitely understand exactly where he is coming from when he asks you to do it during one of his weekend visits as your daughter is taking a nap curled up on his lap as you lean into his side on the couch, it breaks your heart as you can so clearly hear how upset it makes him to even think about the idea of having to remove his surname from her even if temporarily, it really pains him to think about her introducing herself to a class and future friends whilst having to use your surname instead of his as was originally planned since her birth! but both of you know it is for the best, no matter how your hearts shatter at the thought of her being so confused as to why she has to use your surname instead of her fathers as she usually does but both of you know he will try to explain it to her the best he can when you guys tell her, he will do his absolute best to make sure she does not know how dark the truth really is just yet

- bård takes a really genuine interest in quite literally everything your daughter becomes interested in over the years!

✩ if she becomes interested in rocks as a toddler? he will gladly spend his free days taking her on walks through the forest and along little shallow rivers to collect pretty rocks with you by his side! always holding her small hand in his as she keeps her eyes on the ground for any rocks, crouching down to her level whenever he sees her pick one up and speaking with a heightened tone in his voice as he praises her whilst you watch with a smile on your face

“ did you find one, skatten min? show me, let me see… wow, that’s such a pretty one, hm? you gonna keep it? yeah? i would keep that one too… ” ( the big smile that forms on her soft face as she shows him the rock held in her small hand is impossible not to coo at as you watch them together, a bigger smile growing on your own face as you watch him chuckle at her clear excitement before squishing her chubby cheeks and kissing her head before standing back up to continue the walk together )

- or maybe she got really into space when she was a pre-teen? bård will read every single book related to space that the prison library has to offer, reading them over and over again to really store the information in his brain for the next time the two of you visit him or he gets a weekend leave! he will let her ramble to him about astronauts and space for hours if she wants to all with a soft smile on his face at how passionate his little girl is, how smart his baby girl is… she has dreams of becoming an astronaut? of course he is going to support her in that! he will spend every weekend leave he gets taking the two of you to space museums if she wants to do that, he will happily watch her nerd out about all of the little exhibitions with a proud smile on his face whilst having an arm wrapped around your waist as you lean your head against the side of his muscular arm and admire your growing daughter

✩ bård often finds himself getting completely lost in love and admiration when watching your daughter do quite literally anything! when she was a newborn he would get so utterly lost in her big chocolate eyes and rosy red cheeks as he held her safely in his arms whilst sitting on the small couch in your shared apartment, only breaking out of his trance when you would come up behind him and hug him from behind before leaning down to press a soft kiss to his pale cheek as he mumbled up to you about just how perfect she is

“ hm… she’s so perfect, baby… thank you for everything… for giving me her, for loving me… ” ( being around your baby makes him so unbelievably soft and willing to let every single one of his thoughts out of his mouth as his eyes stay stuck on his baby whilst talking to you, unable to pull his loving eyes away from her as she sleeps soundly in his arms )

- when your daughter was still a toddler, bård absolutely loved dressing her! both for obvious necessity and because he gets to make her look so adorable in colourful little outfits and accessories, when it comes winter time in norway? oh he always has to be the one dressing her in the morning, he always has to make sure she is wearing so many layers before going anywhere outside as snow still falls from the white sky and winds still blow cold! you usually just watch from the doorway with a soft smile on your face as he gets her dressed, admiring how focused he looks when making sure every button is done up and every fabric is unfolded but he will always feel your eyes on him as he works and turn around to face you with his own big smile before telling you to just keep ogling and pushing some long brown locks out of his pale face, letting out a deep chuckle when you jokingly scoff and roll your eyes before coming over to pick up your daughter who is now also letting out much higher pitched giggles at the sound of her fathers laughter

✩ when it is winter in norway, bård feels so especially protective of your toddler daughter! she is just so small and still so new to the world, he really prefers to just stay huddled up in bed with the two of you instead of taking her out anywhere in fear that she might catch a nasty cold! but of course, what even is a child if they do not want to play with snow when they see it through windows? and neither you nor bård can ever refuse your daughter when she makes grabby hands and looks up at you with big pleading eyes

- bård has to dress her in at least four layers before you guys take her out to play in the snow though! thankfully your daughter is extremely quiet and very patient so she puts up no fuss as he dresses her in multiple thick cotton jumpers, a pair of fluffy ear muffs, some soft little mittens as well as a cute knitted scarf that his mother had actually made for her and so on! he is just dressing her to the absolute max to make sure there is simply no chance of her catching a cold and falling sick, he could barely handle her pain when she was teething let alone something so preventable like a cold? he would simply never forgive himself for letting her get a cold under his watch! by the time he is done with dressing her in cold proof clothes, your daughter is starting to get ever so slightly impatient as she softly kicks her legs and he chuckles before kissing her head, gesturing towards you and asking if you are all ready too before the two of you take her outside together

“ hey, baby… you ready to go? i think skatten min is starting to get a little impatient, hm? come on then, let’s go… ” ( it takes less than a second after he says this for your daughter to quickly grab his large hand in her much smaller one, holding on tightly through her mitten as she waits for him to pick her up and take her outside with you which he does with no hesitation! your daughter loves being held by him and he loves holding her in his arms, it is quite rare that your toddler daughter actually walks anywhere )

✩ when you daughter is playing in the snow, forming little snowballs in her mitten covered hands and poking her fingers down into the previously untouched snow, bård is right there beside her whilst you film the two of them with his handheld camera, both of you laughing when your daughter attempts to hand him some snow before her big eyes widen in surprise as it quickly melts away in her hand, you coo from behind the camera as you watch him lay her down in the snow and attempts to teach her how to make a snow angel by moving her arms for her, you zoom in on them as he smiles down at her with such love shining in his eyes whilst making a tiny snowman just in front of her

- bård is a very proud father when it comes to quite literally anything your daughter does! she could hand him a stick that she found outside and he would treasure it as if it was made of pure solid gold, he would keep it in a drawer somewhere forever and absolutely never let you throw it out! he has major attachments and care for anything your daughter gives to him with it being meant as a gift for him because it just fills his heart with pure love for your daughter, it makes him feel so loved in his times of worrying that he does not make a great father because of his less than perfect circumstances in life… the cute little gifts from her mixed with so much loving from you about how all he will ever be to her is a wonderful father makes him believe that he is being the best father he possibly can be, it makes him feel loved and worthy…

✩ that is why he can just never ever find it in himself to throw away anything she ever gives to him, no matter how supposedly useless the item may be such as a common rock or twig! he will be keeping it so long as he lives on this world so do not be surprised when you randomly find it in a drawer when your daughter is no longer a toddler who picks things up off the ground to gift to her father, do not be surprised when your daughter is a growing teenager and bård comes home one day panicking about supposedly losing his so called lucky rock that she had given him when she was four years old only to later find it hidden in a hole of the pocket in his jeans! little things like that mean a whole lot to bård and they always will, he has even kept a lot of easily forgettable things related to you through the years but i will not go into that right now! he just loves you so much for giving him his little girl and giving him so much happiness in life! he loves his little girl for entering his life when he was still so young himself and changing him for the better

- when bård is finally released from prison and the two of you have another daughter together, he loves her just as much as he did your first daughter! he will always let her colour in his sleeve tattoos with markers as the two of them sit together on the comfortable couch with her small body curled into his side whilst she focuses on staying in the black ink lines the best she can! his voice is deep and burly yet so soft and caring as he mumbles down to her

“ stjernen min, you missed a spot there… there you go, smart girl! it looks so nice, hm? ” ( he will only tear his attention away from her toddler form when you and your now teenaged daughter appear from the kitchen after you had spent some time teaching her how to cook, welcoming the soft kiss you lean down and press to his lips and chuckling deeply against your lips when both of your daughters make dramatic grossed out sounds )

✩ you and bård had your first baby young, almost too young, but neither of you regretted it one bit! even now as the two of you are older with another perfect child shared between you, both of you look back on those early years with such fondness as he remembers how heavenly it felt to be a first time father and how beautiful you looked as a first time mother even if you are still very much beautiful now!

- he just loves being a father so much, he loves being a father to your children so much and would not trade the life he has for the whole world <3

Guests are paying millions of dollars to dine and meet with President Donald Trump at special events held at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Business leaders can secure a one-on-one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for $5 million, according to sources with direct knowledge of the meetings. At a so-called candlelight dinner held as recently as this past Saturday, prospective Mar-a-Lago guests were asked to spend $1 million to reserve a seat, according to an invitation obtained by WIRED.

“You are invited to a candlelight dinner featuring special guest President Donald J. Trump,” the invitation reads, under a “MAGA INC.” header. MAGA Inc., or Make America Great Again Inc., is a super PAC that supported Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. “Additional details provided upon RSVP. RSVPs will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis. Space is very limited. $1,000,000 per person.”

Invitees were asked to RSVP to Meredith O’Rourke, who served as national finance director and senior adviser at Donald J. Trump for President 2024, a campaign committee, and who is the owner of The O’Rourke Group, which O’Rourke describes on her LinkedIn page as a “Republican political fundraiser.” Invitees were also directed to email Abby Mathis, the finance coordinator at MAGA Inc. Mathis was previously a staff assistant for Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama—a former Auburn University football coach—and also served as an intern at the White House office of the staff secretary, according to LegiStorm, a research organization that posts information on politicians and their staffers.

O’Rourke and Mathis did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the White House.

The invitation specifically states that “Donald J. Trump is appearing at this event only as a featured speaker, and is not asking for funds or donations.” The event occurred at 7 pm on March 1 and was listed on the president’s official schedule as the “MAGA INC. Candlelight Finance Dinner.” This is the only event by that name on Trump’s official schedule since he took office.

Michael Solakiewicz, a pro-Trump digital creator, posted photographs of the event on Instagram. WIRED has also viewed photographs and videos of Elon Musk with his son X at Mar-a-Lago the following day during a charity event hosted by a group called Wine Women & Shoes that also featured Trump.

“It’s everyone else who missed the boat,” a Trumpworld source with knowledge of the meetings says, referring to latecomers to the Trump agenda. The source pointed specifically to the tech sector, where executives have scrambled to show fealty to the new administration. While X owner Elon Musk notably spent at least $260 million to elect Trump, other tech companies and executives collectively donated millions to Trump’s inauguration fund: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos, Meta, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Uber, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman all donated $1 million each.

The $5 million one-on-one meetings have become a “hot ticket” in the business community, says a source familiar with them.

It’s unclear where the money is going and what it will be used for, but one source with direct knowledge of the dinners said “it’s all going to the library,” as in the presidential library that will ostensibly be built once Trump leaves office. MAGA Inc spent over $450 million to elect Trump in 2024, though Trump is not legally permitted to run for a third presidential term in 2028.

So-called candlelight dinners offering access to the president are known to have been held prior to Trump’s inauguration, but have not previously been reported to have occurred while he is in office. (Trump did, however, appear at a number of other fundraising events during his first term.) Most recently, The Washington Post reported that such candlelight dinners were held on December 19 and January 19—the night before Trump’s presidential inauguration—for the cost of $1 million per attendee. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner attended the January 19 event. In the lead-up to Trump’s 2016 inauguration, donors who spent seven figures could secure eight tickets to a candlelight dinner, according to a Washington Post report at the time.

While previous second-term presidents have held fundraisers for their parties, the nature, timing, location, and price tag of Trump’s dinner all raise flags for experts.

“I can’t recall a sitting president in the first weeks of his administration asking for millions of dollars in fundraising,” says Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan. “The concern is less about fundraising and more about access and influence … People hoping to get favorable treatment view it in their interest to donate money to Trump.”

“Part of what is worrying,” Moynihan adds, “is the lack of ethical guardrails in the current Trump administration, where there doesn’t seem to be a clear line between Trump’s businesses and the presidency.”

Information about my S/I under the cut

Lee (Hazbin S/I Bio)

(Art by @floofyboi57)

Name: Ansley (real), Lee (nickname/Hell name), Dollop (by Angel)

Age: 23 (physically)

Orientation: Transman asexual biromantic

Alters: Oxford, Honey, Pendant

Sin: Two murders

Death: 2020s; car crash (the driver was listening too loudly to music)

Powers: Colorful dots appear on the ground and pulsate based on whatever song he is playing out of his back speaker, able to fling others into the air. His eyes change color and shape based on his emotions (gray is neutral, red is scared, green is anxious, apple yellow is happy, purple is sad, black is concentrate, pink is sleepy, white is angry, blue is love).

Personality

Though Lee has the makings of an overlord, he gains most of his power through appearing unassuming. He comes off as shy and skittish, yet, secretly, he is extremely observant of the people around him and chooses his actions carefully. He isn't afraid to call others out on the ways they lie or try to conceal their true selves, and may even use this to his advantage. That being said, he dislikes screwing others over unless they truly deserve it.

History

Initially, Lee was terrified upon arriving in Hell. He immediately experienced sensory overload and had a panic attack, realizing exactly where he was. Thankfully, Husk bumped into Lee curled up on the sidewalk and brought him back to the hotel. Lee was extremely reclusive and it took him quite a while to become comfortable with the other hotel residents, Alastor taking interest in Lee during this time.

The two end up "marrying" each other through a mutually beneficial deal, though the details of this deal are unclear.

Now, having adjusted and found a place at the hotel, he's regained some confidence thanks to his relationship with Alastor, but he is still afraid to go outside.

Why the Biggest "Myths" About macbook air pro keyboard replacement May Actually Be Right

Where the Android Tablet is today, and what it might become in a post chromebook world..

There has been a lot of discussion about Google, chromeOS, and the future on this Discord, and this post isn't about that. this post looks at the current state of Android Tablets where they can learn from chromeOS and also where Google might go with this..

To do this I've recently purchased the very large Samsung Galaxy Tab10 Ultra. this is a very big, premium tablet device from arguably one of the biggest Android device manufacturers on the planet. A company whom while the rest of the world forgot about android tablets, carried on and paved a solid lineup of Galaxy Tab products.

The purpose of purchasing this behemoth as two fold. firstly I like big tablets, big real-estate. I take a lot of photos, and having the bigger screen helps a lot editing and working with both photos and videos. The second reason was. Its about the sweet spot for a laptop screen as well. So with the Samsung Folio keyboard, there is a familiarity as a Chromebook user to all of this..

So lets cut to the chase, what has a week using this device to do work been like?

At times it felt just like being on a Chromebook, others its as frustrating as anything.. However its frustrating for the same reasons a Windows User would be frustrated going to a Mac (or Vice Versa). things are not available..

Lets start with the good…

Putting the Samsung Folio keyboard on this tablet, and sitting down at a desk, turning on Dex and working was, because i've been using chromeOS, a seamless experience in the most part. I'm used to the Android experience or the web app experience. The tablet is quick. I'm able to edit Insta360 Videos, or in Lightroom or VCSO.. I get Slack messages and apparently look good in Meet calls because the webcam is where it should be (top middle in landscape mode). the battery has lasted all day and I've been able to do what I need to do (DevOps, Ansible, Terraform, sysadmin stuff)

The processor is more than capable of having 15+ apps running, multiple tabs.. the screen is crystal clear, the speakers are good. However i'd expect all of this, its a premium product (RRP: £800ish) just as I would from a similar priced chromeOS tablet.

However I do think this is the case because of the tablets screen real-estate. personally i think if i had got the Galaxy tab10 plus with a smaller screen, I'd have felt much more constricted in what I was doing..

Compared to the Ipad Pro experience, this is no matter what any tech bro influencer will tell you a huge leap over said device. Being able to actually multi task and run apps (in dex) not full screen alone takes this to a level above the Apple product.

However then there is whats missing.. These as i inferred above are things i've noticed having used a Chromebook as my daily driver for the last 5+ years.

As a huge Linux user on Native platforms and chromeOS, i really missed the Chromebooks Linux shell. this is something I've seen Google are working on with android. Both the full debian runing on the OS with Icons aoppearing when you install Linux apps with GUI's (OnlyOffice for example) which launch independetly of the shell is not a feature to be sniffed at and IMO make the Chromebook one of the best entry level Linux devices available today. Whatever Google have done here, they need to replicate.

I'd also like to see the desktop version of the Chrome browser especially on the bigger scren, the android version of chrome is ok for most things, having the desktop version however should not be a huge leap of development to get this working.. with a huge highlight on PWAs which i use a lot on ChromeOS

Finally there is Dex, I have a love hate relationship over the years with Dex, and the classic version has been my workhorse for the last week. with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor this is more than a workable solution for checking email, slack, meet meetings and even some coding. All the time however i am thinking why not chromeOS?

Dex for its time was a great and groundbreaking idea, and interestingly is the last of many convergence tools over the years, and its always made we wonder why when i plug in a Pixel Phone/Tablet into a USB Hub with a monitor I don't get a ChromeOS like experience.

So what are my thoughts on chromeOS becoming Android based on using arguably the top tier Android experience as my sole PC for a week?

It boils for me into these areas

While ChromeOS will run fine on a 4Gb Arm chip for browsing the web and a few tasks. 8Gb is the minimum you need to start using it properly.. The same will be the same with any new android tablet, for this to work, the 8Gb equivalent needs to be the base hardware, same with processors and storage. Google will need as they did with chromebook Plus to set a minimum spec for these new devices day 1. Or they will cause a lot of market confusion and again get that chromeOS low power second screen device label that they have never shifted from the tech press narrative. This i think has only worked for me because of the premium experience, i think had i gone mid tier i'd have been writing something very different.

The interface and app experience is somewhat comparable, however if Google do put the desktop browser on android as has been suggested they may do, this will make a big difference. OneUI for all its haters, does do a good job of presenting a nice desktop above the Pixel equivalent. Its, dare i say it, more "windows like" and having that as an option interface wise would be a good thing.

Expanding on Interface, the experience presnted to the user of Dex when plugging into an external monitor and adding a keyboard/mouse is important, I would like to see Google work here on something which looks like chromeOS appear when i plug an (lets call it Android Plus) Android Plus device into a hub. a step above dex and a more Usable desktop. this provides huge value ad, and really starts to differentiate Android from Ipad Pro and (i think its called) stage manager. This starts to become an easy drop in replacement for schools, businesses etc while staying familiar and enterprise admins can still do thier thing.

And finally there are things which google should 100% be pulling over from ChromeOS, i think the whole material you type experience is better on chromeOS (although this might just be Samsungs OneUI), the Linux shell experience is another huge thing. Better PWA support and the inbuilt VPN support would be nice too.

All in all a space I'll be hugely interested in over the next few years, if google is serious about making a dent in that lucrative iPad/Pro market it needs to make changes and the convergence of the two OS might actually be the thing which takes the Android OS everyone gave up on on Tablets and the chromeOS only good as a second screen device and makes them the thing you guy to get stuff done..

Power Mac G4 Cube with Apple Pro Mouse, keyboard, Harman Kardon speakers, and Studio Display (2000)

[netscapenavigator-official]

Idk how to explain this without being long-winded, but it’s my blog so whatever.

Basically, I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 15”. I’ve replaced the battery and upgraded the RAM and replaced the 500GB HDD with a 500GB SSD. It’s great! The machine is truly the fastest mobile computer I have.

The 2011 MBP was let go from software updates a while ago, meaning, natively, macOS High Sierra is as high as I can get the thing.

Luckily, this computer is from an era when Apple actually made computers and not eWaste, so I just erased macOS off of it and flashed Zorin OS (an Ubuntu-based Linux distro) onto it. The computer is now even better! It’s my primary productivity machine. The display, speakers, battery life, and thermals are all pretty bad, but it’s just so snappy and problem free I can’t help it.

Now, when I set up Zorin OS I used LVM Encryption to encrypt the entire disk. Basically, upon booting, before anything happens, I’m prompted with a password box. Once I put in the encryption key, the computer would continue booting and bring me to my usual login screen. Great! Easy peasy, extra secur-sy. Well. That was the case.

Somehow, in my efforts to find a way to stop Linux from using my MBP’s Discrete GPU in favor of its Integrated (more efficient, less power hungry) one, I broke something in the EFI or SMC idk. Reinstalling didn’t help. MacOS Recovery mode didn’t help. The only way I fixed it was by wiping the device, running the installer USB, downloading the script I used to fuck it up, and then running it to undo what I previous had it do. This worked. Luckily, I was keeping the machine backed up with Timeshift. So, I wiped the computer again and installed Zorin OS, fresh, reinstalled Timeshift, and restored from backup. The only problem?

When I reinstalled Zorin, I didn’t use LVM Encryption because I was tired of having to manually type in that 25 randomized character password I chose. As a result, now every time I boot the computer, I’m prompted with a “Waiting for encrypted device, (name).” That prevents the machine from booting for about 5 minutes until it just randomly decides “ope, never mind” and finally takes me to my login screen. It does nothing in prohibiting me from using the computer expect prolong it. It’s just annoying and weird as hell, and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

Clearly, the way Timeshift resorted the device has it thinking it’s still an encrypted volume, and I have no idea how to tell it that it is not.

But anyway, it just aggravates me, and I needed to ramble and vent about it. Carry on.
