☆ my other accounts

@castielhoney. destiel/spn, main account, catch-all for politics or shitposts sometimes

@elliesevileye. ellie williams/abby anderson/tlou, billie eilish sometimes

☆ my tags

all of my original posts will be tagged with either #bowie's yaps (for updates on fics or addressing one of yall) or #bowie's boykisser bonanza. From here on out (02.13.25) I am going to do my best to remember to tag my reblogged fics with #bowie's recs, but don't hold me to it. sincerest apologies if I forget!

☆ one shots

In The Morning I'll Make Cereal: the one where professor reid sees your self-harm scars and wants to know more. PG, platonic.

If I Love You Was A Promise: the one where you have a meltdown and reid stays over to keep you company. PG, platonic.

The Red Means I Love You: the one where we revisit s12 e22: red light, but less... murdery. the first three times you thought: I wonder just how red I could make you. TV-14, fade to black smut.

Don't Call Me Dude: the one where reid takes home a new toy and wants you to try it out with him. TV-MA, smutty smut smut. straight filth

V-day Bouquet: the one where Spencer is in your apartment complex and you buy him a bouquet and chocolate on a whim. fluff, fade to black smut if you squint

☆ series

Neurotech: the one where Agent Jenna Connell (oc) and Reid spearhead an investigation into a pharmaceutical company whose clients are turning up dead

Preacher's Daughter: The one where Ethel Cain grew up with Spencer Reid.

PLEASE read the warnings/disclaimers on the PD masterlist if you're going to read all the way through. It starts out more on the tame side but gets darker as the fic goes on.

☆ my art

boy? consider him KISSED. coloured pencil on mixed media paper.

wip 1 and 2 of the oil painting i'm currently working on

not boykissing but rather girlkissing. i am a man of multitudes. from my brain of a girl I am hopelessly in love with

poem empathizing with cat adams idk if this counts as art but... ?

☆personal notes

Me<3

My name is Beau or Bowie, either is perfectly fine, pick your favourite. I use he/him pronouns. Majoritively write for Spencer, but if a request came in for a different character, I might see about it.

Requests are always welcome!! I love seeing y'all's ideas and am more than happy to oblige, BUT!

There are certain characters I will not write for at all, and some there are limitations on. I will not. Will NOT. ever write a hotchxreader. There are lots and lots of others who write great fics about that, but hotch just puts me off and always has, so I'm not down for that. However, he might appear in plot-relevant fics sometimes.

There isn't really any*thing* I won't write for. Pretty open as far as smut goes, same for angst, and fluff is anything goes.

My DMs are always always open!!!

Hit me up anytime. I'd love to listen to you vent, or hear about something cool that happened, or anything of the like. If you aren't up for that, anons are open for the very same:) to be honest it's kinda my dream to have regular anons so PLEASE hit me up it'll make my year

☆ recs

literally all of the bandages universe: @nereidprinc3ss. i binged it so quick. just flirty reader making spencer nervous for like. a bajillion words.

Covetous Cravings: @burymagdalene. the one where coitus takes place on Spencer's pretty Persian rug

Bad Day: @g4rvez-r3id. the one where you come home from a really bad day and your boyfriend, Spencer is there to save the day… and hold you while you cry.

CLASSIFIED: @ovrgrwnivy. the one where a sleepy morning turns into spencer falling over himself to get to work on time, forgetting his badge behind him.

Red Is Your Color: @esote-rika. the one where you send reid a scandalous christmas-themed photo and he Does Something about it.

@minswriting. the one where you use a vibrator on reid

And they were roommates: @rainydayathogwarts. the one with 0-boundary roomates.

Don't Call Me: @reiderwriter. the one where spencer keeps your cheating ex on the phone while participating in coitus

apparent loss or modification of information: @luveline. the one where reid doesn't remember you but he still has a crush.

Ok so little yapping session

I just finished the "night hunter rant" shorts (that were released during season 1) and two clips struck my attention

So let's be real- HE'S DEFINITELY REFERRING TO HANNAH IN THOSE CLIPS- which (maybe?) Gave me more answer about their lore

So second clip- he's saying it's impossible to keep those you love SAFE and by your side FOREVER

So for the safe part- beau is really protective of hannah as you can see in those ss of their ep

And just before that he's saying that the nightmare king's sword was the only thing that could have saved her

Sword which later gets destroyed, and he's kinda sad about that

So yeah now to the "forever" part

At the end of the episode he's looking at the gnorf's watch

And he ends up stealing it and saying "we have plenty of time" so did he steal the watch to stay with her FOREVER??? That's the only reasonable explanation

And now let's get back to the first clip of the vid from the start

So he's saying that the ones you love are the first to let you down- so he used to be part of the night bureau- which he now really hates so- I think hes mad that when Hannah died they didn't do anything about it- or they didn't save her so "let her down"..or oz didn't help him save Hannah when she died

And then he goes on to say that the ones you love can be used against you- so did nightmare king use Hannah against him. SOMEONE USED HANNAH/HANNAH'S DEATH AGAINST HIM THAT'S FOR SURE

and also in season 1 nightmare king says that beau joined him for more power- which I half-believe

So my FINAL THEORIES AS TO WHY BEAU BECAME EVIL

-Hannah died and he went to the nnightmare king for more power to bring her back

-nightmare king used Hannah against him

-the night bureau/oz couldn't save her which made him hate them so he joined the nightmare king

-he became evil to save her but she died before he could do anything

But one thing I'm sure of is that she died in the dream world. I refuse to believe she passed cause of some sickness

ALSO in the new episodes night hunter says "I failed her, I've had to live with my mistakes" SO HER DEATH HAS TO BE RELATED TO HIM BECOMING EVIL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SAVE HER FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT

Im not okay😃

UNDERTALE AU INFO DUMP!!

Fineline is an undertale au that has been living in me and Bea's (writer for fineline and other stuff who is my irl bestie but doesnt have tumblr cuz shes a nerd) brain for the past 4 years and now it’s finally getting life.

Basically found family bad sanses with a lot of self inserts, random ocs I make them interact with, and a healthy dose of shipping.

Their physical designs aren’t too far from accepted fanon but I think their personalities are quite different.

Nightmare is a bit more chill and has massive gossipy wine aunt vibes.

Dust is just a tad stupid and the most extroverted of the group.

Horror is the resident chef and is a big softie with a scary face and no concept of societal norms.

Killer is the most different because he’s the calm, dead-inside always bored one, trying and failing to get the others to chill out.

It would be amazing to have asks for them to answer and be able to share their shenanigans with other people so I hope you guys like their silliness!

Kald-dal’s QQ1 OCs Name Yap >:) P.1 / A gift for my fav writer/artist because I can't make fanart

I picked out names for the characters you said didn’t have last names since you allowed random entries (if that’s ok). Also if some of the name definitions weren’t on purpose, maybe this will make you happy to read for extra meanings :D

(Sorry this sucks butt this is my first time researching name/word names pretty deeply, well relatively for me)

-

Beau - Handsome in French, fine and beautiful, and in Latin it means pretty. It also is an old fashioned way of saying boyfriend, partner, or lover

Dent - A blow of impact from a weapon or implement in combat. Also means mark or a form of damage

So this just means Beau is a beautiful man, and he makes a significant mark, and this leads into the fact that he is career material and well enough trained. And he might be in a relationship/is a player

-

Shimmer - A soft slightly wavering light

Aleela- Meaning, she cries

This just means light, of course, I think this is just a name given to the character instead of having meaning, but once I find out her last name I can add more meaning. Also the word ‘wavering’ being in the first definition I see of Shimmer is a bit funny. And I choose the name Aleela, because ‘she cries’ is a really vague statement over what she cries about. So I think it fits my first interpretation of her character

-

Garde - Guardianship, safeguarding, covering, authority. Defending aggressions and attacks. Responsibility and protection

Riggs - Meaning, of the ridge or one of the ridge. There isn’t many other definitions of it. But it can also be correlated with the fact that he is ‘rigging’ the game against Claudia (like the ass he is)

He’s definitely not protecting Claudia loyally. Anyways I assume this just means he has great defense and can cover attacks easy, because he’s a vicious little backstabbing viper he doesn’t get the title of a guard though

-

Claudia - In both Latin and Spanish it means lame, but also in Latin it means enclosure. And in Hebrew it means limp- to be shut in or be shut in. Never truly in and never truly out. Not too popular yet not too unusual. Though in a baby name website, girls named Claudia have compassionate and empathic nature, and good leadership skills

Benetiz - This name has several different cultures around it. In Spanish it means ‘Son of Benito’. In Latin it means blessed

So Claudia has never felt truly belonging in any group. Even in the career pack she’s not as good as Garde, Sheelin, and Polina. But she isn’t at the level of Beau and Taurus. And in her childhood she often felt outcasted due to her family history

-

Alex - To ward off, keep away. The defender of men. A protector. And for a person explaining why they thought ‘Alex’ would be a great name for a thg oc from district 3 is because it goes after ‘Alexa’

Bentley - Coarse grass meadow. Cleverness, luxury, and is apparently in kudos (affiliation) with the number eleven. Also ‘get bent’ is a phrase that can derive from this

Yeah no, the name definition doesn’t fit his character, but it is a catchy name for a d3 character. Wished he got more scenes though

-

Peg - A small cylindrical object that is tampered at one end, it is usually to help hold things together. It is also a point of limit of a scale. And to fix something

Debois - In French the word means, wooden table. But it also means a topographic name for someone who works with wood

Again name definition doesn’t match much, but hey, it doesn’t matter as long as nobody searches it up as deeply as me :)

-

Polina - In Latin/Greek origins, the name means small and humble, a bundle of joy. In Russian it means, little stone/pebble

Carrol - This means champion or victor in the baby website section. It also means free man in German. And dancing and singing in a circle in old english

So her last name matches her more because I don’t think she’s humble at all. And for the baby website section, it was the American meaning. But this just means she’s victor/champion material

-

Sheelin - Ancient Irish translation to, Fairy Pool *insert sparkles*. It is also a lake in central Ireland

Montgomery - Meaning mountain belonging to the ruler. In both old French and British it means belonging to nobility/royalty. This also means manpower in some viking language

So I assume that Sheelin is definitely carefree to a degree due to ‘Fairy Pool’ being his name’s only meaning and definition I could find. And him belonging to a ruler makes sense with his and Polina’s dynamic. And manpower makes sense as well

-

Muriel - The star of the sea. Sparkling or shinning sea. And also the fragrance of God. And in a definition of the name I saw it said exactly ‘an educated, willing worker who sees what is really happening during the Russian revolution but is afraid to speak out against it’

Callahan - Bright headed, strife, and contention. Bright headed usually means of light or of knowledge. Strife means negative disagreement over fundamental issues. Contention means heated disagreement, or assertion of any sort

I think it’s funny her name is correlated a lot to the sea. But let’s see if her name has anything to do with stars. Also I can see her as an educated worker, and since she’s rich she probably knows more than the average districts citizen, but does not speak up about it. And with her last name, it has a lot to do with arguments and knowledge. (Honestly the person who picked the name out gave her a badass last name though)

-

Isak - Means laughter from Icelandic/Hebrew origins. Also from the bible, Isaac was the baby of two people who laughed when God told him they would have a baby. Issac is also the gift from God. And with the spelling Isaaq, the name means honest and trustworthy

Truitt - Honest little one, dry old wood, small and quick, extremely loyal, river bend, and is associated with the number five. All of these definitions are from several cultures/languages

So Isak is trustworthy, by that I think it means he sucks at lying. And it’s funny his last name has so many definitions, especially the fact that a few languages agreed the meaning would be ‘little man’ and ‘trustworthy one’. And with his first name, I think about how Isaac’s parents laughed at God’s face and got punished (without being hurt), then proven wrong with their child being Isaac

-

Lexie - Lexie is actually a greek girl name, meaning the defender of men. It also means luxury and elegance. It also means to finish whatever you start in another culture. And it’s a more feminine version of ‘Luxus’ which is a car brand, which also means luxury and excess in Latin

Cohen - Means ‘priest’ in several languages. But it means wild goose in Irish, and it is a ‘royal’ name in Jewish

So Lexie’s name could mean to finish what you started, which is kinda badass. And her last name is a wild goose (chase) plus it means royalty in Jewish, which adds on to her family status. It would be funny to see her give an alliance a wild goose chase though

-

Asshole - Jerk or idiot. Not only just stupid or annoying, but also very mean

Greason - Was apparently a war cry or slogan originally. And it also means a quest for higher truth and spiritual victory. When you are also doing reasonably well in an industry. And it also means a yeti-like creature- a tundra dweller. There are several more definitions (surprisingly)

Sawney - Naively or sentimentally foolish. And another defender of mankind. It is also a derogatory word for Scotsman. It's usually associated with the word ‘jock’ and is informal in most of its definitions

So Greason is a yelling loud person, he has many faces/personalities. He is a truth seeker (I can maybe see that in his character). And he can be associated with a yeti. Also he is a foolish jock

-

There will be a part 2 sorry for being so lazy- anyways ye, hope this makes @kald-dal-write happy to read :)

Cross the Jaded Stars Info Dump!

So I yap on and on and on about Ad Astra, I'm gonna talk about one of my other projects. My swap AU specifically.

Title: Cross the Jaded Stars

Fun fact! The name itself is full of references! "Cross" saying "Hey, this is a swap where things are switched up or 'crossed'.". "Jaded" has two parts to it, one: It's a more grim and 'jaded' world than canon and two, our MC is the swapped J! "Stars" also has two bits but one of them connects with the previous word, it's a reference to Ad Astra which is what I started with for MD fandom and J(ae) and S (for Jaded Stars) are the two leads for this story.

There are some spoilers below, you don't have to read them of course!

Characters and their swaps in canon:

Uzi=J (Jaelyn Doorman)

N= Sam (Serial Designation: S)

V= Emily (Serial Designation: E)

J= Rebecca (Serial Designation: R)

Thad= V (Victoria "Vicky" Hart)

Lizzy= Cyn (Cyn Beaufae)

Doll= N and Beau (Emmett "N" Sterling and Beau Sterling)

Cyn=Uzi (Serial Designation: Uzi)

Yeva=Alice (Alice Sterling)

Alexei (Doll's dad)= Luke (Luke Sterling)

Nori, Khan and Tessa do not have swaps. Lizzy, Thad, Doll, Alexei and Yeva all are in the story. Lizzy is Victoria's sister. Thad, Doll, Alexei and Yeva have not appeared in the story as of yet. They will. But I can't say where.

Solver Strains: There are four strains of Solver Drone in Jaded Stars rather than Ad Astra's two. Two of these are the Ad Astra Strains (winged murder demon and teleporter...aka Uzi and Doll) and the other two belong to the amazing @mephiles97 (you guys should check them and their stories out. They're incredible). C and D strains are a marksman and illusionist strain.

There are Hybrid strains too! If a Solver couple has a kid, their kid will get aspects of both their parent's strains. They will have one strain that is dominant compared to the others. If a child has two parents that are the same Strain, that Strain is amplified (ex: a Strain AA will have absolutely MASSIVE wings and a much bigger tail). Diluted Strains are also a thing. They will have lesser versions of the Pure strains (ex: a Strain a will have either tail or wings but not both. Whereas as Strain A will have both.)

Jaded Stars Strains: Jaelyn: AA Nori: A Khan: a Luke: c Alice: d Beau: Dc Emmett: Cd Unknown 1: Ba Unknown 2: Bd Unknown 3: b

Disassembly Drones:

The Disassemblers all have special 'gifts' that were given to them to protect them.

R: Siren Song- able to 'charm' her victims with her voice. Think like a Trojan virus.

E: Shifting Camouflage-able to shapeshift into Workers whose cores she has eaten. She then takes on some of their traits. (Ex: Taking the form of Luke will give her a strength boost, while taking the form of Alice will increase her speed). The effect looks like Mystique from X-Men.

S: Magnetic Discharge- Able to cause any and all electronics within a radius around him to shut down, a Worker in this radius will begin to slowly lose control of their limbs and become lethargic, eventually passing out on the ground and 'sleep' in drugged stupor.

Will probably do another ramble later. But if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Ask box is always open (I think).

Truly wild that Beau is so less voted, i guess that means i have to yap more about how i think she’s autistic:

1- huge part of the brjeaus relationship is literally Fjord helping her with social skills. Not mask, but why is she constantly being misinterpreted and seen as “an asshole” or “lying”, what is expected socially, and if she needs to, how to get what she needs out of a social situation (ex: tracy, essek at xhorhouse) (technically masking but sadly when your natural expressions or speech is considered “rude” or “deceptive”, you kinda have to mask or know what responses you’re gonna get and how to “work around them” if needed)

2- she takes things literally, understands metaphors or figure of speeches but her first response is always to exactly what was said, (ex: fjord said caleb was “shooting shit out of his hand” she thought caleb could cast magic poop, not shit as in something)

3- dope monk shit, not necessarily related but a great way to stim and self regulate is exercise, and also being overwhelmed or unregulated makes you really angry, therefore punching the shit out things really helps

4- patterns and solving mysteries, she’s a huge nerd(even though she denies it), and loves writing shit down in her notebooks and connecting the dots, veth and jester are “the detectives” but she basically “cracked the plot” more than one (also my hc she could be audhd and hates sitting still or “learning the old fashioned way” which is why she hated the monastery and doesn’t consider herself a nerd, but she hyper focuses and hyper fixates, ex: her saying she was fascinated with sea life in early c2, which could have been a hyperfixation)

5- already stated but one of the reasons i think people don’t consider beau autistic or are hesitant to call her autistic is cuz she’s “an asshole” and don’t want to attribute this to autism, which I understand however, she can be autistic and also an asshole! But that’s also why i see her as autistic, cause most of her image as “an asshole” is her “lack of social skills”, and I think she said in canon something like “when you are an asshole accidentally, if someone already thinks you’re an asshole, at least they excepted that, but if someone thinks you’re okay, and then say something that makes you sound like an asshole, even if you didn’t mean to be one, they’ll get shocked, so it’s much easier just being an asshole all the time”, and so to protect herself and the others around her, she’s an asshole all the time, that way she doesn’t “disappoint” or “hurt” them more. So you can be autistic and misinterpreted as an asshole but you can also be autistic and choose to be an asshole, like any other person.

6- Empire Siblings, everyone basically already sees Caleb as autistic, and i agree, and that’s why i think their dynamic is like that, butting heads and running in circles but also being huge nerds together and deeply understanding the other, it’s what i like to call clown to clown communication, cause they’re both very similar and neurodivergent, neither have social skills and social skills also don’t work with neither, so they just run around in corcling conversations and butting heads until they learn that they work the same and become inseparable. (Yes this one is also cause they’re dynamic is the same as me and my childhood friend who are both neurodivergent and consider eachothers as siblings, which we call clown to clown communication)

7- also agree with yasha being autistic(“im learning how to people”) and beauyasha being awkward especially in the beginning cause they both don’t know how to people, but also ending up as a power couple who work really well together (clown to clown communication or disaster lesbian to disaster lesbian communication)

Etc- there’s more things and i could talk about this for hours cause cr(especially c2) is my special interest and i relate a LOT to Beau, therefore you can see why i hc her as audhd since “she’s just like me frfr”, but anyway, i was surprised with how few people in the cr community see beau as autistic and with nein again I’m trying to maybe change that :)

hello autistic critter community i'm so curious about this

Rain or Shine drags Magnolia to Game 7 for last PBA finals ticket

James Yap with another reliable performance for Rain or Shine. PBA IMAGES ANTIPOLO — Just as their foes were reaching for the dagger in the very arena where they have emerged unscathed and crowned as champions, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters looked calm and collected, giving themselves a fightback of their own in Game 6 of the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals. The Elasto Painters leaned on the marksmanship of Rey Nambatac and yet another steady performance by James Yap to fend off Magnolia, 91-81, and forge a decider for the last remaining Finals berth, Friday night at Ynares Center here. “I just told the players to enjoy this game, to keep it simple and it worked,” said coach Caloy Garcia, whose squad managed to extend the series after falling in three consecutive meetings. “I told them to not think about whatever happens and asked each one of them to play their game and stay relaxed,” he added. And it showed. Yap led all of Rain or Shine’s scorers with 16 while Nambatac and Beau Belga tossed in 15 apiece. Jewel Ponferrada added 11 more to preserve their promising start to their semifinal series. Magnolia managed to knot the affair at 62 by the end of the third quarter, all thanks to Ian Sangalang’s showing. But they had no answer for Nambatac, who started to catch fire from deep at the start of the final frame. From thereon, Nambatac and Yap took turns on scoring, snuffing out every ounce of counterattack the Hotshots mounted. “Coming into Game 7, we just have to do the same,” Garcia said of their sudden-death match scheduled this Sunday at MOA Arena in Pasay. “But Magnolia, coming into such situation, have much more experience. We just have to trust each other,” he added. The victory snapped Magnolia’s eight-game streak at Ynares Center, where the Hotshots crowned Governor’s Cup champions last December. Their last loss came in Sept. 17, 2017, in the hands of TNT. Rain or Shine could also deny Magnolia a chance to get back at its tormentors in last year’s all-Filipino finals. The scores: RAIN OR SHINE 91 – Nambatac 16, Yap 16, Belga 15, Ponferada 11, Torres 8, Norwood 8, Rosales 7, Ahanmisi 5, Daquioag 2, Mocon 2, Borboran 1. MAGNOLIA 81 – Sangalang 19, Lee 18, Jalalon 14, Herndon 9, Brondial 6, Melton 5, Reavis 4, Barroca 3, Ramos 3, Dela Rosa 0, Pascual 0, Abundo 0. Quarters: 21-17, 41-35, 62-62, 91-81.

MAYHEM 2018 - WEEK 1 - [ANON D] “IF THE SHOE FITS”

Title: If the shoe fits

Description: He’s the prince of a fallen planet. She’s the princess of one of the most powerful companies on earth. It’s only natural that the two would be drawn to each other. There’s just one problem - the princess already has a beau.

After training all day, Prince Vegeta, destroyer of worlds, harbringer of death, is furious that his post-training meal is ruined by the humans at the Brief’s annual winter ball. He goes to confront Bulma, but his priorities shift when her scar faced beau shows up and Vegeta realises that she is no longer interested in the weakling.

Is it possible that the prince has a chance with the princesses after all?

Rating: T

Media Type: Word Doc, 1620 words

The base from the party vibrated through the compound, shaking the dining room chair Vegeta sat on. Much to his disgust, even the scent of cheap cigarettes and sickly-sweet alcohol managed to permeate its way to the eating area, tainting what should have been a delicious late-night snack of stir-fried beef and noodles with a spicy chilli and soy sauce.

With a growl, Vegeta forced himself to swallow his latest ashy mouthful, then stood up, scraping the chair behind him noisily and slamming his hand on the table. Not that anyone was there to hear his temper tantrum. No, the Briefs were all at Capsule Corp’s annual winter ball, mingling with those revolting humans they called “employees”.

Those humans repulsed Vegeta, every single one of them. The way they preened in front of the doctor and his daughter, practically salivating for a slither of their attention, was all too like the way Frieza’s men paraded themselves around the self-proclaimed Lord of the Universe. Still, he could have put up with their presence it if they were on the grounds and not disturbing him. But now they had spoilt the first meal he’d had after eleven hours straight of gruelling training and he’d be damned if he wasn’t going to do something about it.

Vegeta left his cooling food on the table and strode out of the main house, intent on insisting that they remove everyone from the property before he got rid of them all… permanently.

The air outside was brisk and heavy with frost, as if the clouds above might break with their load of frozen water at any moment. Vegeta shivered, wishing he’d grabbed something warmer to put on over his dark green t-shirt, and despite still being weary from his training, raised his ki slightly to compensate.

As he got closer to the raucous party the base only got stronger, each thud making his stomach turn. The scent grew worse, now mixing with pungent human body odour.

The ball was held in the west wing of the compound, in a large hall that Vegeta had ventured into once when exploring. A staircase led to large wooden double doors that he knew opened into a spacious marble floor room.

He hadn’t made it to the base of the steps when they swung open and a woman swept out, silhouetted by the light from the room. Bulma, he realised, recognising her ki a moment before the moonlight hit her face.

A man followed her out, hissing something in a hushed tone, and he grabbed her arm to stop her descending. Vegeta recognised the scar faced warrior’s ki immediately, and considered stepping in - not to assist the woman, but because he so enjoyed putting the weakling in his place. A part of him was curious to see how the woman would handle it though, so Vegeta suppressed his own ki and stepped back into the shadow of a tree.

“I’m sorry, B,” the weakling said. “I know I shouldn’t have come, but-”

“Damn right you shouldn’t have come!” Bulma wrenched her arm away. “We broke up months ago Yamcha. You can’t keep doing this.” She began treading down the staircase in her blue high heels, letting out a sigh of irritation as he followed her.

“B, please,” Yamcha said reaching for her again. “Things aren’t the same without you.”

The woman growled and stepped sideways, then yelped at the sound of a snap. She wobbled on the spot, then pulled her foot out of her shoe. It lay on its side on the step, it’s broken heal at an odd angle. “Now look what you’ve done,” she snarled. “Leave please, Yamcha. I told you I wanted space, and I meant it.”

The weakling’s face fell, but he nodded and made his way up the steps, disappearing into the hall.

As the doors closed once more, Bulma picked up the broken shoe, then threw it towards the garden with a frustrated yell.

Vegeta chuckled as it soared in his direction, and he caught it with one hand. “I thought the party was only food and dancing,” he drawled, stepping into the moonlight and heading towards the staircase. “If I’d been informed there was a show as well I may have attended.”

Bulma’s eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly masked it. “It is a ball, not a party. And what were you doing lurking in the shadows? I made sure you had plenty of food in the fridge.”

“Your party was disturbing my meal.” Vegeta bared his teeth into an expression that had made many an enemy literally piss themselves.

Bulma Briefs just threw her head back and laughed. “Please. I think you just missed me.”

Vegeta scowled at that, then purposefully made sure he didn’t stop his advance until he’d reached the same step she stood on to avoid being shorter than her. “I was looking forward to an evening without your constant yapping. But this…” he waved his hand in the direction of the hall, “this horrific noise is an insult to all good music.”

The insolent women laughed again. “I didn’t know you considered any music good.” Her blue eyes sparkled inquisitively. “Now I’m curious. What sort of music does the mighty Prince Vegeta, destroyer of worlds, harbinger of death enjoy?”

Vegeta smirked back at her, leaning in close so the sweet scent of her perfume invaded his nostrils and blocked out all the other disgusting humans. “Anything. But. This.”

Bulma cocked her head but didn’t reply, eyes narrowing slightly and a half smile quirking her lips. She shivered slightly, and Vegeta realised that the clouds had broken and a flurry was descending. As snowflakes began to drift between them, he noticed how pale she was, her skin almost as white as the snow landing in her hair.

“You’re cold,” Vegeta said.

“No shit, Sherlock,” Bulma replied with a scowl.

Vegeta frowned back, unsure what a ‘sherlock’ was.

Bulma’s frown twisted into something more mischievous. “Are you offering to warm me up?”

Vegeta flushed, suddenly warm despite still having his ki suppressed. He looked her up and down, taking in the tight-fitting silver dress that did nothing to protect against the elements. “You claim to be a genius. I’m sure you can sort that out yourself.” He grinned suddenly as he noticed the pile of blue curls on her head, decorated with silver flowers on pins. “Or you could let down your hair. It looks like a fluffy blue sheep. That will keep you warm.”

“A sheep!” Bulma squawked, her cheeks turning red and eyes flashing with fury in a way that made Vegeta’s blood heat in response. “I’ll have you know that my hair is the height of fashion, not that you’d know anything about that you-”

She stopped talking abruptly, her mouth still open as Vegeta reached out with the hand not still holding her shoe, then slid his fingers into her tamed mane to find one of the pins holding it up. He pulled it out and dropped it on the ground where it fell with a small clatter.

Bulma’s breath hitched and she shut her gaping mouth, but she didn’t move away, her blue eyes watching him with an unreadable expression. So Vegeta inched closer still, until he was mere millimetres away from her, and continued finding pins in her hair and discarding them on the ground until it tumbled loose around her neck.

He drew his hand away, catching a lock of hair between his fingers. “Warmer?” he asked huskily.

Bulma’s tongue darted out as she licked her lips. She shook her head slowly, looking at him through her eyelashes.

Vegeta dropped her hair and trailed one finger along her collarbone, watching the way her skin reacted with goose bumps to her touch. He leaned in closer, raising his ki so it pulsated around them both. “How about now?”

Bulma’s skin began to regain its pink hue, but she shook her head with a smirk then leaned into him, looping her arms around his neck. “You’ll have to try harder,” she whispered, her warm breath caressing his lips.

Vegeta met her gaze, searching for any signs of madness in her eyes. They’d been dancing around each other for weeks and while the last thing he needed was a distraction he couldn’t honestly say he’d never met anyone as physically enticing as her who’d also managed to match his verbal wit blow for blow.

Finding nothing but curiosity and the same heat he felt pooling in himself, Prince Vegeta, destroyer of worlds, harbinger of death, leaned forward kissed the Princess of Capsule Corporation.

He pressed his lips to hers carefully, half afraid that a mere kiss from someone as evil as him would make her spontaneously combust. She thankfully remained intact and tightened her grip around his neck, pulling him closer as she opened her mouth a little to deepen the kiss, and he found himself unable to do anything but respond in turn. He kissed her more forcefully and his hand opened of its own volition, dropping the shoe to the ground where it clattered down the steps.

When she pulled back, breathing heavily and cheeks red not from anger but from something else for the first time in his presence, she gave him a smile. It wasn’t her usual mocking one, but an invitation. “You know…” she said slowly. “My bedroom has central heating.”

Vegeta hesitated only a moment before completely throwing any concerns aside. He pulled her close, then took to the air with her in his arms and flew back to the other side of the compound, leaving the broken blue shoe at the bottom of the steps.

A PODIUM FINISH FOR GILAS WOULD BE PHENOMENAL

by Bert A. Ramirez / August 17, 2018

               For all intents and purposes, Gilas Pilipinas, the glamor team of the Philippine delegation to the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia, has advanced to the quarterfinals of the men’s basketball competitions.  After the Filipinos’ surprisingly easy 96-59 blowout victory over Kazakhstan last Thursday, it would take an upset of catastrophic proportions by the Kazakhs of powerhouse China for the Philippines to fail to make it among eight teams to qualify for the quarterfinal phase of the event.

               As we were writing this, defending champion South Korea and Thailand are leading Group A with unbeaten slates of 2-0 and 1-0, respectively, 2014 runner-up Iran and Syria have advanced to the quarterfinals from Group B regardless of the result of their head-to-head matchup on August 25 after the United Arab Emirates, the only other team in their group, withdrew, while Chinese-Taipei (1-0), Japan (1-1) and Qatar (1-1) are engaged in a three-way battle for the two slots in Group C.  The Philippines and the Chinese, fifth-placers in 2014, are now expected to make it from Group D regardless of the outcome of their game on Tuesday, August 21, as Kazakhstan is given no ghost of a chance to upset the Chinese, who are parading two NBA players – 7-foot-2 Zhou Qi of Houston and 6-7 Din Yanyuhang of Dallas – plus 7-foot, 270-pound center Wang Zhelin, 6-8 ethnic minority Abudushalamu Abudurexiti, and 6-2 Sun Minghu.

               If the Filipinos, as the wise-money odds indicate, lose to the Chinese on Tuesday, they would be up against the topnotcher of Group A on August 27 in a knockout game to determine one of four semifinal slots. This will most likely be against South Korea, and the Filipinos’ chances to advance further would be effectively stymied if that happens as the Koreans, just like the Chinese, are a tough team to beat.

               If, however, Gilas upsets the Chinese, the Filipinos’ chances of making it to the semis would be geometrically enhanced as they would be up against just either Thailand or perhaps Indonesia if the host country upsets the Thais or Mongolia.  Either way, however, the Philippines would be a shoo-in for the semis as the three other Group A teams outside of South Korea are simply not in the class of the Filipinos.

               But what are the chances of Gilas scoring a huge upset against the Chinese?  Coach Yeng Guiao, on loan from NLEX to coach the core of the Rain or Shine team – his old team of six years no less – which was hastily called to represent the country when the core of the Gilas Pilipinas team was suspended after that FIBA World Cup Asia/Pacific qualifying game brawl against Australia early in July, said that the Filipinos are the definite underdogs against China, despite the last-minute clearance given by the NBA for Cleveland guard Jordan Clarkson to play for the country of his mother Annette Davis and grandmother Marcelina Tullao.  It was one of the last-minute hurdles the team had to overcome beyond the earlier withdrawal decided by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas after the PBA earlier stuck to the original agreement to send only one team to the Asiad, which meant the Elastopainters with no reinforcements despite a request by Guiao to be given a few.

               The public backlash, of course, was so fierce that the PBA, probably afraid of the effects of a league-induced Asiad absence to its already-dwindling drawing power, later relented, with five other players from other teams reinforcing the ROS core of Gabe Norwood, James Yap, Maverick Ahanmisi, Chris Tiu, Beau Belga and Raymond Almazan.  The league allowed San Miguel Beer’s Christian Standhardinger, Magnolia’s Paul Lee, North Port’s (formerly Globalport) Stanley Pringle, Blackwater’s JP Erram and NLEX’s Asi Taulava to reinforce the ROS core in an attempt to give the country a decent representation, and perhaps improve on the Filipinos’ seventh-place finish in the event four years ago.

               The question is, how good will this squad be with just two weeks to practice together and with Clarkson, the 6-4 Cavalier, coming in only as Gilas was pulverizing the Kazakhs last Thursday? Clarkson will finally be available against China, but chances are the Philippines will still play from behind against the Chinese, who are not only tall and big – two are seven-footers and three others are at least 6-8 – but are also young – their average age is 24.6 – and talented, with Zhou, Din, Wang, Abudushalamu and Sun representing a tremendous upgrade from that inexperienced squad that placed fifth in Incheon, South Korea four years ago.

               “Of course, we have to admit na talagang favorite sila,” the 59-year-old Guiao said.  “But we may have cut a little of the odds.  It’s still a powerhouse team.  We are just a team that kumbaga hastily set up.  Even if we have Jordan Clarkson, we are still going to be the underdogs.  As I said, if we (were a) 100 to 1 underdog before, baka 100 to 20 na, nadagdagan ‘yung odds sa atin.”

               But Guiao would be in there trying to upset the odds.  After all, there’s no use playing if one doesn’t believe he has at least a chance to win.

               “The more important thing is we feel that we have a chance to win.  Dati parang wala talagang chance.  (Now) we feel that we have a chance to win. The more important thing is to keep the game close, be aggressive for 40 minutes, and try to duplicate the defense that we played against Kazakhstan,” said the veteran mentor, who also coached the national team in the 2009 FIBA Asia Championship, three of whose players – Yap, Taulava and Norwood – are reunited with him in this year’s Asiad campaign.

               If the Filipinos do advance past the quarterfinals, they’d surely be improving on that prosaic seventh-place finish where Gilas coach Chot Reyes at one point ordered his players to shoot at their own basket in a futile attempt to get a more favorable quotient.  But dreaming of a medal finish – as Clarkson has expressed, perhaps so naively – is a different story altogether.  This is because the teams in the way – China and, after that, most likely South Korea if they fall to the Chinese – make the odds really daunting. It will take a lot of luck, and a perfect storm, for that podium finish to materialize and make this campaign really phenomenal and the stuff from which legends are born.

#PHnews: ROS rolls over Terrafirma for 2-0 start
