ellcrze shouldn't of deleted though, she was right it was her game if she didn't want to put so and so in her game. oliveandoaksims got attacked for the same thing a couple years ago

I agree that ellcrze didn’t need to delete. But idk what kind of messages/comments she was getting regarding this. She must have felt that this was the best option. Honestly, I don’t remember the specifics of the olivexoak situation and I’m not about to go on that doom scroll to find out. But I thought she made more problematic statements about specific identities or whatever.

Either way, I don’t understand the issue people have with whether they feel “represented” in another person’s SAVE file. It’s weird to me. Wanting representation in content from EA that you paid for is one thing. But canceling someone/harassing them for not liking or not featuring a certain aesthetic, idea, identity etc in their personal gameplay is ridiculous. Manage your Following & Block list if you don’t like what’s on your Dashboard.

I appreciate the ask nonni 🌞

K could yo give us a extended version of this pls pretty pls pls 🥺🥺

”toto, have you watched this yet?”

clicking his tongue, the team principal readjusts his glasses, “um, i am not sure what you’re talking about.”

in his peripheral, he cannot help but notice the intern lurking about, their phone aimed in his direction. both interns were wearing the same smug smiles, clearly fighting laughter.

this told toto that whatever they were going to show him, it was surely going to get a reaction.

a good one, at that.

a reaction worth filming.

surely it was another one of those social media things. another bit or was it skit? whatever they called it these days. yet, it was a moment too late before he realized that there were no lines to rehearse this time. no playing it up for the cameras.

the intern held their phone over his desk, tapping the play button.

the video was a tik tok, posted by someone he knew all too well.

it was his golden girl, lip syncing to a song he had heard before, but couldn’t quite put his finger on. yet, the moment he heard the lyrics, he recognized it instantly.

it was all mine by brent faiyaz, a song toto fucked her to quite frequently. it was on all of her playlists, a song that she serenaded him with nearly every day.

one of her favorites, which was quickly becoming one of his favorites.

however, that was not the focus of the video.

his attention fell on her, specifically, what she was wearing.

she was clad in a bikini, a triangular cut with a thong bottom. as she did a little twirl, his gaze scanned over the background. the balcony was familiar to him, but he couldn’t quite place a finger on where.

however, as she scrunches her nose, shooting the camera a wink, he picks out a pair of shoes. they were his shoes, a pair of loafers he wore all of the time.

that’s when it clicked.

it was the bikini she wore when they took a small holiday in the mediterranean. the holiday where she let him fuck her in that little bikini, right there on the balcony.

stifling the groan rising in the base of his throat, his mind wanders, recalling so vividly the way he just pushed the bottoms to the side. one hand sprawled across her toned back, bending her over the railing as he pumped in and out, the other covering her mouth.

in his khakis, he feels his cock twitch. god, what he would do right now to fuck her like that. to feel her tightening around him as he made her cum over and over.

clamping his mouth shut, he realizes that he had replayed the tik tok not once, but five times.he must have been on autopilot, savoring every second of the tik tok.

heat flourishes into his cheeks as the interns burst into a fit of laughter, the noise so loud that the nearby offices could probably hear.

“did you like the tik tok toto?”

“i enjoyed it, yeah,” the team principal can’t help but bury his face in his hands, face tinged pink, “are you two satisfied with your little video?”

“oh yeah,” one intern nods, bearing a devilish grin, “it was some good content. it’ll be posted later.”

rolling his eyes, toto scoffs, “you better not post that!”

filing out of the office, an intern chuckles, glancing over their shoulder. they shoot him a wink, their words sending him into a spiral.

“oh don’t worry toto, we’ll send it to her before we post it!”

Two quick things (since I've seen confusion about one and panic around the other). Firstly, "Nothing lasts forever" has been a theme of Sleep Token's social media for a long time now (since at least the Sundowning era). Here's a screenshot of a Facebook post from November 2019 with the quote.

Sleep Token aren't ending, I promise. They're just switching gears. Sundowning + Tomb + Eden was a trilogy, and now Vessel and Sleep Token are working on something new. I'd bet money they're writing/recording new music right now. We might not see it until the end of this year but it fits their timeline of record releases.

Secondly, "Teeth of God" comes from a poem that was on a Sleep Token jumper back in Jan/Feb 2023. The full poem is as follows.

I am hunting something And in turn That same thing is hunting me The beholder The void beyond I am the line between I am the Teeth of God.

I've appreciated your sleeptokenposting in the abstract for a while, and I finally gave them a listen. I started with the summoning and wow what a song! The lovely strange time signatures at the beginning and then the soulful funk at the end was everything I wanted and such a fun combination

We Got Another One Gang, reset the clock! (38)

actually, what has Cole's group been doing around ninjago? are they just checking up on areas like the dark island or also drifting around to wherever to see the sights.

Drifting, mostly.

It starts with Cole setting out to try and... he's not sure, really, just that he wanted some time away from the monastery. He runs into Pythor, who's tired of the whole villain thing but doesn't want to admit it, and they end up traveling together because, well, why not? Pythor's bored and Cole doesn't trust him (doesn't trust anyone), so they end up following the same path.

Morro shows up later. He's spent some time trying to acclimate to the modern world and being alive again, but when he and Cole cross paths he decides he also needs to stick around, because he's still not happy about being thrown into the Rift of Return without being asked if that was what he even WANTED, COLE! So now he's gotta come along and bug Cole as much as possible.

Echo, of course, comes along after they find him in the lighthouse, because what else is he going to do? Continue rotting away alone but for Tai-D? No way! He's got a whole world that Julien described that he wants to see! At this point, Cole's already started to come out of his "nobody likes me and I need to be ALONE" arc, and Echo's really just the final nail in the coffin for that. Not to mention, Echo's enthusiasm for the world and desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves is really kind of infectious.

Still, the group's not really all that close, right? They're just traveling together for convenience, surely. When Pythor suggests trying to see if Cole's status as an Elemental Master and Hero of Ninjago could get them some vacation time in the luxury of Shintaro, he's only looking to get himself that vacation time, of course. Why would anyone suggest otherwise? Him, Pythor, caring? Impossible! He ate the other Anacondrai, he opposed the ninja again and again! He couldn't possibly be thinking about how not immensely, sickeningly goody-two shoes Cole's been, or how about how Morro and Echo still have so much of life to experience. Not at all!

And if Morro's sticking around and teaching Echo how to fight, well, it's just because he has a soft spot for second bests! He's only sticking around Cole because Echo is, and because he still has that unfinished business with the Earth Master, and not at all because it's better than being alone. Not at all!

Echo's just happy to be here. He has no idea of the trials he is soon to face in Shintaro.

16. Fave Matt look?

I'm an early 2000s goth/emo chick so I'm very much into the Crimson era Matt....

[alkaline-wtr]

Just wanted to pop in and say how I love the third part to the apocalypse au with graves! You write him so sweetly and I didn't expect to like him so much. The lack of sweet (or really just tame/normal) graves makes me yearn 😔💕

OMG! I’m so glad you like it! I actually have reason for writing Graves like this, to be revealed later. 🤫

And as a former Graves hater, I really wanted to show some humanity in him. As mad as we all want to be for his betrayals, he is a much more complex character than I think a lot of the COD community gives him credit for.

Hey Sans, what kind of music is your favorite?

Sans looks at you with a grin, a genuine expression of interest in the question is seen for the first time.

“Welp, I have a few DVDs of the Alkaline Trio and Bowling For Soup, those are good. My favorite song by far from them is either “Maybe I’ll Catch Fire” by The Alkaline Trio or “Whatsername” by Green Day.”

[purpleandsilver]

Scarlet don't get emotional about Take Me Back Me To Eden (the song, but also the album) challenge: failed.

I don't know what I want to do more: grab Vessel by the jaw and tell him to name names or hug Vessel until he squeaks like a chew toy.

[angelsanarchy]

gg stays the night at Toto’s when he has Jack for the weekend… Jack wakes up with a nightmare and gg offers to put him back to bed, sharing some quality time together and in this interaction, gg imagines children of her own in the future, something she would’ve never considered before

i am so sorry!!!

i just now got to this!!!

but i wanted to write a little blurb about it! i hope you enjoy it! <3

"papaaaa!"

a cry floods the room, bringing you out of your slumber. you stir, gently shaking the figure dead asleep beside you. he grumbles, yet you persist, pressing light kisses all over his temple and cheeks.

"toto. i think it's jack."

"he probably had a nightmare," the words are slurred, thick with exhaustion, "i can go-"

"no," you rub your eyes, "let me see what's wrong. you stay here. you could use the sleep."

blearily, you shift, scooting to the edge of the bed. slipping your feet into cozy slippers, you stretch. carefully, you make your way through the dark room, cursing as you bump your knee against the rigid door.

"fuck."

"careful now, love. come get me if you need anything. don't let the monster under the bed get you too."

rolling your eyes, you shuffle down the hall. once you reach the destination, the third room on the right, you knock softly.

"jack, it's me. can i come in?"

"you're not my papa, but i guess you'll do."

as you make your way into the bedroom, you can't help but feel the little eyes searing into you. the poor thing is clutching his favorite plushie, a cream colored bunny. his name was hase, the german word for the animal. it was a gift from you months ago, as you wanted to treat the little one to something he could sleep with.

at first, toto was hesitant of the gift, but once he saw jack's eyes light up at the new plushie, he couldn't help but melt. you were in the same boat, your heart fluttering every time you saw the boy toting around the animal.

it was his newfound best friend. the one thing he carried with everywhere, no matter what. he even accompanied jack to karting weekends with susie, vacations with the family, and race weekends all across the world.

"is hase not doing a good enough job scaring away the nightmares?" you fold your arms across your chest, arching a brow.

"no," jack huffs, "will you do me a favor?"

"yes," you nod, yawning slightly, "what is it?"

"will you lay with me?" his eyes are bright, alight with a childlike fear, "just for a little while. papa and mama used to, but not so much anymore."

"maybe because they want you to be brave," you cross over to the closet, peering in before shutting it softly, "there's no monsters in the closet. don't worry, i peeked behind the hangers."

"good," jack chirps, "will you look under my bed too?"

since it was the weekend after a race, the last thing your knees wanted to do was squat or bend. yet, you obeyed jack's request, stifling a groan as you kneel to the floor, head bowing as you look under the bed.

no monsters there either.

"i have to report that there are no monsters. maybe they all left because hase scared them off."

"no," jack shakes his head, "they probably left because you're scary!"

"i'm scary?" you can't help but giggle as you burrow under the covers, the child cuddling into your chest.

"yeah," jack responds, "you're a world champion! you'd probably run them over in your car or beat them in a race. i would be scared of you too."

oh lord. the things that came out of that child's mouth.

"well," your eyelids are heavier by the second as jack's breathing slows, his arms clinging to you, "let's get some sleep then. i'll stay here, just for a little bit."

"how about you stay forever?"

"i can't do that," you press a tender kiss to his crown, "your papa needs me."

"well i need you too. you do a much better job checking for monsters than he does."

as the child dozes off, you can't help but feel your heart flutter. perhaps this wasn't so bad. you could definitely be a mom. if it came with moments like this, then fuck yes. you would definitely be a mom.

especially if your children resembled the love of your life.

an hour passes, toto wolff cursing as he rolls over, feeling a coldness in the space where you typically lay. tossing the sheets, he gets up, strolling down the hall.

as the door opens, he can't help but melt at the sight before him.

his son, fast asleep on his beloved golden girl, the two deep in slumber.

if only he had his phone.

[potionpeddlerpatchy]
