Trick or treat, please? <3

Mystery potion: A repurposed honey jar, half-filled with a clear, dark blue potion. When you move it, the swirling liquid suddenly seems purple, then red, then gradually changes back to blue as it settles. A bit of white fabric is tied over the top. The label is in a language I do not speak.

A, J, and V for the ask thingy? ^_^

Thanks so much!!

A: apple pie. That was my first association for words with a and I'm like... Yes, definitely apple pie!

J: quite embarrassing, but I suddenly forgot every word starting with j. (My mom was like "you were raised Catholic, say Jesus!" And while I do love my faith, I'm gonna pick) Jewelry. I love wearing jewelry.

V: Vinted, the app for selling / buying clothes. I bought a lot of clothes from there already and it's amazing!

G, M and Z for the ask game? ^_^

Thanks for the ask ^^

G: I’ll go with gardening, and the greenhouse my family helped me set up. I have cherry tomatoes again!

M: music, all of it. My taste in music is all over the place and I love it

Z: I get to talk about another Z thing! Let’s go with ziplines - the kind that are almost at ground level, and you’re a kid sitting on this plate and holding on for dear life and GOING FAST and it’s the best thing in the world

My cats snuggling with me.

Alright I got this and for once I will do it bc I had a not so great day today:

Plants. My own and others outside. This includes, but is not limited to: The jungle growing in my room, the wilderness I turned the garden into (so many cool bugs!) and the marimos I washed and put into fresh water earlier. The one in the skull jar is still floating <3

My fountain pens and inks and writing with them. Different ink colours, different nib smoothness etc. (Nothing too expensive. They are cheap chinese models or fleamarket scores. Some I even repaired myself when it was nothing too bad.)

Handcrafting all the things. Includes: Sewing, knitting, mending, fixing shit around the house, the electric saws and power tools from my dad. Just making things, esp. custom fit for just what I want/need, is great. Just don't give yourself accidental laquer poisoning while you are fixing something up...

My friends! Not sure why I put them so low on the list. They should be at 1. I love them so much and even if I am bad about going out and meeting up I miss them sometimes. I just don't have the energy to be around ppl lately (or to do any of the other fun things listed tbh. Just going downstairs to sit and stare at all the bugs in my garden is too much sometimes..)

Music and especially listening to the radio. I know a lot of ppl don't like it, but I love radio. It's different from youtube or spotify or your own playlists and if you find 1-2 stations your like it is so much fun. The ads suck sometimes, but thankfully they are not as bad as what I gathered from other countries' posting about radio and we even have a few fun ads here. (Flensburger radio ads my beloved xD I don't even drink beer, but they are almost always good for a laugh. Same with the radio ad ad xD)

For the pairing/AU setting: Sprotte and Fred, playing chess with one of them sitting in a bathtub AU 😏

hello love 💕 sorry for taking so long and also for intentionally misunderstanding one part of your prompt. I just couldn't help myself...

have fuuuun!!!

"My horse just killed your little dude with the hat and now all I can say is check, baby - how does it feel to lose?" Sprotte flipped Fred's bishop into her bathtub where it was immediately swallowed by lavender scented foam.

"That's absolutely not how you play chess and you're getting water all over the board." Fred leaned forward and blew a handful of his rose scented foam into his girlfriend's face and used the distraction to steal two of her pawns.

"I think we can agree," Fred kicked Sprotte's last knight from the board into his tub. "Two bathtubs is the perfect amount of bathtubs."

"cringe culture is dead" includes kink/fetish too. you cant claim to be against cringe culture and/or sex positive and also make fun of people for having "weird" kinks/fetishes. see vore/watersports/inflation/feet/whatever and youre not into it? then its not for you. keep scrolling. it literally costs zero dollars to not interact with kinks and fetishes youre not into.

and obviously i feel like this should go without saying but this does not include inherently nonconsensual paraphilias like pedo/zoophilia etc. but i know someone would misinterpret it this way

(edited to replace "morally reprehensible" with "inherently nonconsensual", could not figure out how to word that point better until @awordwasthebeginning suggested in tags, so full credit goes to them)

As I was slowly waking up this morning, the phrase “puck bunnies” popped into my head, and I had to track down this post.  It took a bit of searching, since “puck bunnies” is more cromulent than I thought.

Judge a book by its...summary on the internet

Bad Reputation (Bad Boys of Sports #1)

“Meet the most wanted players in sports…”

Boy, I’d kneel during the anthem with them.

“one ridiculously hot alpha male at a time.”

I’ve seen enough sports anime fanfic to know that there’s at least one beta and two omegas in any team.

“Chase: With a nickname like “Sin,” it’s no wonder they call me the bad boy of hockey.”

His nickname is fucking Sin? And he plays hockey? I’m all out of words for this.

“Opponents curse me. Fans scream my name - in the arena and in other, much more private places.”

In front of their TVs? …Oh, wait, that was a sex reference, wasn’t it? Do male fans also scream your name in “private places”? Just curious.

“Penalties or not, I’m not afraid to dish out a little pain. But pleasure? That’s my weakness.”

Um. There is a difference between giving pain/pleasure, and being given it.

“And no one knows it better than my best friend, Cassie Desrosiers. I’d have to be blind not to notice her rocking body and teasing grin. So when she invites me along on a trip to Vegas, my curiosity isn’t the only thing that’s aroused.”

Dear lord. One more wink-wink-nudge-nudge sledgehammer-subtle comment, and I’m going to puke. “Cassie: Chase Barrett is a world-class A-hole. As his best friend, I’m allowed to call him on his BS. Who else is going to do it?”

I volunteer!

“Certainly not the puck bunnies”

The what?

“swooning at every flex of his biceps. Everyone knows that Chase is the love-’em-and-leave-’em type. There’s no such thing as commitment for the king of casual hookups. So why should I care?”

Idk, because you’re clearly his best-friend-with-potential-benefits?

“Maybe because all work and no play makes me a sexually frustrated girl.”

Yeah, but Chase is still a very dull boy, biceps or not.

“It’s time to put the hockey stud at my beck”

Can someone Canadian please translate this for me?

“and call to good use… but after a week in Vegas with Chase, I might never want to go back to the real world.”

This just in: Las Vegas is no longer a real place. “This sexy standalone novel includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.”

Well, that sells it. Gimme! /sarcasm

In conclusion: Hockey stick it where the sun don’t shine.
