two more questions and then i’ll stop harassing your inbox haha~
if you ever ran into a fan in public, would you want them to say hello?
it’s interesting to me that, given his questionable experience (eg. sandy), albus hasn’t come to resent sex. i guess it’s not an emotional thing for him? but, in the non-canon ending, did he actually have feeling for faith when they did it? ALSO YOURE TELLING ME MY GIRL DID NOT GET AFTERCARE??? brb if you need me, don’t. i’m hunting down a succubus
No worries!
Of course! It's a nice change from the customers at my day job lol!
Okay, Imma be 100 with you. That romance ending with Faith was purely for the fans. It didn't make sense, story wise. I just put it in so people wouldn't get mad at me for lying about "not really enemies to lovers". So if you have questions about that ending, my best answer is to just turn your brain off lol!

The Prophet’s Affliction and Hope
For the Lord will not cast us off forever. Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion. For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land, to deny a man justice before the Most High, to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it? Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High? Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD. Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven: “We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity. You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through. You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
All our enemies open their mouths against us. Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction. Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief, until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees. My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird. They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me. The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit. You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.” You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life. You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause! You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me— the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long. When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them! You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD. — Lamentations 3 (Part 2 of 2) | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

Hello Vox! Is me, werewolf anon!! Hope you're doing good on this fine day/evening/whatever the time of day it is for you!
I have to admit that you being happy to see my ask is 100% reciprocated by me when you answer them. I too, wave my fist in the air!
I haven't read more of your JJK fics but I re-read some of your Stucky ones because they are my comfort fics and I needed a pick-me-up. BUT THAT BEING SAID I DO HAVE THE JJK MANGA OPEN IN MY TABS and hopefully soon it will open up the rest of your fics for me! Oh how exciting!
As for Mappa and Nanami, the absolute WHIPLASH of him baring his forearms/hair pulling/quiet and yet explosive rage/Daddy Daddy DADDY to THAT scene of him before Mahito takes him out...I was on my knees I tell ya. I honestly don't know how the animators didn't go feral as they drew those panels.
And ahhhhh don't get me started on Yuji this week. Omfg that precious bean leveled up. *cough cough* I made a silly Yuji edit but sadly I don't know how to share it with you because Tumblr won't let me add images to anon asks. 😭
Wish me luck on my manga binge! I'll try to remember to eat and sleep but I can't guarantee anything! 😂 And I hope you enjoy your extremely well earned break from writing! I'm sure all the fans are frothing for updates from you but you deserve down time just like anyone. Take care!
Welcome back!!
Won't lie, it's very lovely to hear that my stucky fics are comfort stories for you. That's high praise, seriously.
And I really hope you enjoy the manga! It's still trying to give me a heart attack on a weekly basis, and it's always a pleasure to drag more people into this particular hell 😌
I'm cracking up at your description, but it's accurate for sure. If it helps, Nanami continues to make me fucking insane. His death scene is still my favorite, and while I prefer the manga's handling of it over the anime, they did a beautiful job with his final smile as well as Yuuji's later remembrance.
I shouldn't get started on the Yuuji scene because I will not be coherent (if you hear howling in the wind, it's me), but that scene drove me insane in the manga, and the anime went above and fucking beyond. I keep saying it's orgasmic, and know what, I mean it. Yuuji's expression, the insanely good voice acting, the hunting sequence—fuck me, that's art.
(Brb eating glass.)
Ah, damn :/ I think you could upload it somewhere and send a link on anon, if you'd like to. I used to have submissions turned on, but after Tumblr made it impossible to send anon asks without a blog, some charming fellows started trying to use the submission feature to send me bullshit while circumventing anon block. And now it stays off.
Good luck, and stay hydrated! Or binge like a demon and emerge on the other side sleep-deprived and vaguely feral. I really can't judge because that's exactly what I did 😂 But the upcoming arc should give you plenty of natural break points; it's pretty different from the storyline so far.
And thank you, hon 💗

We are living in a world of expression now, and the shorter the better, and above all, it relates to everyone at a glimpse. Yes, today we are talking about – Top Instagram Captions in 2025. The best caption can turn a simple image into a viral sensation.

So here we have some mastering pieces of trending Instagram Captions for 2025 that can help you fetch all the responses and go—VIRAL.
But before we move on further, let's understand why Instagram Captions Matter.
• When every eyeball just keeps scrolling what keeps you – PAUSE is a strong Hook that opens the door for all the engagement. • We all have heard of our school time proverb, “A picture is worth more than a thousand words”, but in today’s digital world – A caption lets you tell the story in the right way. • Whether you are witty, informative, or inspirational, the captions you choose help you establish your brand voice with your target audience. • A well-placed Call-to-Action in your caption can take your readers to the products you want to sell. • Using relevant keywords can help users reach out to you faster and easier.
Struggling with Instagram Captions?
WebOdoctor the best social media marketing company in India is all set to help you take a walk through with all varied categories-
SOME WITTY INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS (MAKING IT FUNNY FOR YOU)
1. Two minutes of my life left. I'm still normal. 2. Sleep? Nope, WHO needs that when you have strong Coffee and DREAM to chase? 3. You can’t beat people with a stick – So just be Sarcastic. 4. My hobbies are just laying back – eating and complaining that I’m getting fat. 5. Everything around- the tables, chairs, and even the floor get in my way. But I’m not clumsy at all.
SOME QUIRKY INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS FOR YOU
1. Be Strong, Stand Straight, and Stay sweet from inside- You mean to say I’m a Pineapple. 2. I’m not weird- I’m a limited edition. 3. Let your freaky wings fly coz- Normal is Boring. 4. Oh, you moon child, stay wild. 5. Sometimes just go out and dance in the rain.
HOW CAN WE MISS INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS FOR FAMILY
1. I am Not afraid of any storm, coz I know I have my Family. 2. Grateful for this crazy bunch of people. 3. Your story begins here- FAMILIA 4. Hazelnuts and Family Fudge both are sweet and crunchy. 5. It is not the things around you that will be nice always- Family is what you need.
INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS FOR FRIENDS (The most unwanted yet wanted people in our lives who fill your space)
1. I’ll share my fries with you. 2. Friends buy you food. Bestie just gobbles it up for you. 3. My bunch of musketeers, my therapist whom I can drink with. 4. Find your tribe and just love hard. 5. Life is best when you have best friends and best adventures.
HOLIDAY INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS ( Friend, Food, Fun and Bae)
1. Halloween- Eating candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 2. Valentines- Cupid has a good aim. You are my favorite. 3. Christmas- Time to cuddle by fire. 4. New Year- Cheers to the future.

1. Travel is the only thing that makes you richer. 2. Put moments into your pocket and not things. 3. Job fills your pocket, adventures fill your soul. 4. What's in my bucket list? 5. BRB, exploring the world
SASSY INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS
1. Me and my ideas are not awesome. I’m not bossy at all. 2. I don’t chase dreams, I hunt goals. 3. Always on point- That’s what my confidence level is. 4. Too glam to give a damn. 5. Life’s too short to wear boring clothes.
Let me share some tips for you on how you can write your own Instagram Captions
1. Set a tone that resonates with your audience. 2. Remember Instagram truncates captions after a few words, so make the best use of the first 5 words you start with. 3. Include a Call to Action and don’t miss the opportunity to open doors for your audience. 4. Don’t just pump emojis – use them strategically and avoid overdoing it. 5. Research hashtags and use them wisely. 6. Use puns- Punny captions are a great way to attract followers. 7. Share a joke to make a situation light-hearted and entertaining. 8. Share a quote if it resonates with what you want to express, don’t just add it for the sake of doing the task. 9. Keep it short and sweet. 10. Learn the art of storytelling that dives into your audience's heart and soul. CLOSING FOR NOW
Hopefully, these insights will be of great help to you – especially when you get the top trending Instagram Captions well-researched and brought to you by webOdoctor, the best digital marketing agency in India. Speed up the process and time is short in the too much scrolling world. So go ahead and create your post now- Don’t forget to add some of these wonderful captions mentioned above.

Eudora: I was thinking, I don't think Eudora would wait that long before telling everybody about what we had learned about Jasper. Probably before we all scatter in different directions. Tark (OOC): Sweet. DM: Okay, yeah so you guys can easily meet in the library or in one of your rooms. Nathaniel: I have a house. DM: This is true, Nathaniel also has a house. Tark: That is definitely more secure than the manor. Hunt (OOC): Yep. Tark: Let's go. Moriarty (OOC): Yeah and we're gonna get eavesdropped on by Rosaline again. DM: She's not there. Tark (OOC): Also, we would tell Rosaline anyway. Eudora (OOC): She's in on things at this point anyway. Tark (OOC): Yeah, can we invite Rosaline? Nathaniel (OOC): She's working. Hunt (OOC): Yeah, she's working. We can't just pull her away from her job. Nathaniel (OOC): We don't want to get her fired. Tark (OOC): I mean, we could. Eudora (OOC): We should have this discussion at the manor and be like, 'Hey, we need Rosaline to help clean up something we spilled.' Tark (OOC): No, we can just be like 'Eyo, we gotta steal Rosaline for like two hours. brb.' Grab our girl, 'cause honestly at this point she's gonna find out somehow. Poor girl's scared to death of all of us... well Nathaniel dropping dead so. Nathaniel (OOC): In fairness to her, she lost him once already. Hunt (OOC): Yeah. Tark (OOC): That's what I'm saying, we should at least give the girl a bit of forewarning to some of the shenanigans. Or we could just sparks note it for her later? DM: Oh!

Reblogging to add that the most lucrative jobs I am qualified are shit dealing with AI and feeding it more stuff. That pay like ridiculously higher than everything else.
Like Come To The Dark Side, We Have Cookies. Frodo and the Ring moment. Birb considers her moral stamina. Haven't yet. Will not. I am made of stronger stuff than that but the longer this bs goes on the more I'm laughing evilly and desperately about it.
Why is Indeed recommending that I apply to the FBI?? Do I *look* like an FBI agent to you??

I'm drinking and rambley so how about a non-sims, Jazzy-gives-advice-no-one-asked-for post? No? We're doing it anyway!
So, my friend just told me about another friend of hers who has been asking her for money on the regular and I had to tell her this story because it's...
a lesson I had to learn the hard way:
Story time! Once upon a time I had a close friend. We'd known each other for years. When he finally moved out of his parents' house he had no end of financial trouble.
(This is gonna get long and rambley... so adding a cut)
Now, I'm no stranger to that... I'm disabled and have no college degree. I've struggled to make ends meet my whole life. I have gotten very good at churching up ramen noodles and rice/bean dishes. For reference: I've been under or only slightly over the poverty line for the majority of my life. Sucks when you feel like you're making a little progress and then they take away your health insurance because you made $1k more a year. (and I have to have my medications, so forgoing medical treatment is not an option)
Anyway, my friend got into a bind when he quit a job because the manager was rude to him. He was slightly younger than me and new to "real life", so I gave him a pass. Life is rough and adjusting is hard. I helped him out with a couple hundred dollars that I barely had because that's what friends do, right? Right.
A couple months later, I found out that instead of paying his rent with that money he had taken his gf out to dinner a few times and now he was getting kicked out. Luckily, he was living with roommates and it wasn't an actual eviction. But he did have to find somewhere new to live. He asked to come stay with me and I had to decline because my place was extremely tiny (300sq ft) and I didn't even have a couch for him to surf on.
He found someone else to couch surf with rent free until he could find another job and another place. He kept talking about all the job hunting and how hard it was. A few months later his gf confessed to me that he hadn't been looking or putting in applications because he thought he deserved more money than the going rate for his education level (no hs diploma or GED). His friend eventually kicked him out and he found ANOTHER place to couch surf. He did eventually take another job.
A few months later he was in trouble again because he had to go to the doctor and was short on rent. My other friend helped him out with some money. This time he spent it on his rent. But lo and behold, the next month he said he needed help again. A different friend helped him out with some more money. The next day he, I and his gf were online together gaming in Discord. He said "brb I'm gonna order some food". He ordered $60 of sushi for he and his gf to split (she didn't work btw, so he paid). I asked him "Didn't [friend] just lend you money for your rent? Why are you ordering sushi?" and he replied "All I have is sandwich stuff and I don't feel like eating a sandwich". This was the first time that red flag really went up for me, even though it should have been sooner.
It continued this way. Every month he had some new sob story of why he needed money from people and even though our friend group had long since ceased helping him, he always found someone new to help him out (he was charming and had a knack for making friends and sounding genuine).
He went through job after job. He'd quit after a month or so because he didn't like the work or didn't like his boss or didn't make enough money (which... any money is better than no money). I'm not saying that adult life isn't soul-crushing. It is and it sucks, but we do what we have to do to survive. To him, he was victim forced to do something he didn't want to do and so he refused to do it. He had a million and one excuses for how his joblessness and constant need for assistance wasn't his fault.
One time, I was in town visiting and we met up to get a burger. I offered to split the bill and he said after we'd already eaten "Oh, I don't have any money". I bit my tongue and paid because it was too late anyway. Afterwards, as we were walking back out through the mall he said he wanted to stop and look in a couple stores. He asked me to buy him things three separate times. I declined because I could barely afford my own rent and expenses and I worked my ass off to get what little I had. He was pretty frustrated by my refusals and even called me "stingy".
To this day (5 years later) he is famous amongst our friends for always asking for money, always spending it carelessly and then just asking people for more... he doesn't have to work his ass off because people keep giving him things to the point that now if you say "no" to him he gets offended and feels entitled to whatever money you have.
The moral of the story is: One time is a mistake. Twice is a pattern. Three times is a problem. Some people can't be bothered to help themselves as long as others are willing to prop them up and do it for them. Don't get suckered into every sob story you hear and feel obligated to help. We want to be good people and helping out isn't wrong. Help should be available to people in times of crisis... but keep an eye out for the ones who seem to always need help. Some people are very good liars.

thalia grace or grover underwood for the ask game?? :0
Both? Both is good
Thalia Grace
Sexuality Headcanon: aro lesbian
Gender Headcanon: cis tbh. I don't have anything against nonbinary and transfem headcanons of her but it's iffy to me that androgynous female characters are always headcanonned as trans.
A ship I have with said character: none
A BROTP I have with said character: can't choose between Percy Grover and Annabeth
A NOTP I have with said character: idk, I'm not big on any of the popular ships with her but don't dislike them either
A random headcanon: sometimes she wonders if joining the hunters was the right choice and contemplates leaving because she sees so many friends die and immortality and putting up with this forever is Too Much. But then she remembers she never felt like she belonged at camp half blood and living as a mortal is not a choice anymore and the hunt is the only place where she has ever felt at home and so she stays.
General Opinion over said character: honestly my interest in her has faded a little over time but I like her, she's cool, her friendship with Percy and Annabeth was Good and her aesthetic is *chef's kiss*. Also her life was so fucked up, she had to look after Jason on her own and lost him and then was on the run found family-ing with Luke and Annabeth and then became a tree then joined the hunters like,,, I know they all have traumatizing lives but that is so fucked up man
Grover Underwood
Sexuality Headcanon: straight ace. He's ace because 1) all my favourite characters simply must be aspec in some way 2) I hate the movie for showing him as a perv and this is how I spite it 3) it's my explanation for why he's not horny™ like mythological satyrs.
Gender Headcanon: cis? Idk I don't have any Feelings about this
A ship I have with said character: Juniper, they're cute although I'm not Super invested in the ship
A BROTP I have with said character: PERCY
A NOTP I have with said character: uhh idk pretty much everyone else I guess
A random headcanon: he was super goofy when he was younger and also super soft. He was the kind of kid who'd move insects out of the way so they wouldn't get crushed and cry if he like. accidentally stepped on a small plant or something
General Opinion over said character: I have so many feelings because he's soft and he cares so much and is so dedicated to the people and causes he cares about but no one ever tells him he's doing a good job! And he went through so much and lost so many people (which did not start with Thalia, daily reminder that he lost his dad and uncle) but he's still kind and so brave, I'm,,, brb going to listen to the tree on the hill on repeat
Thanks for the ask!

Jake and Amy celebrity AU.
HCs on : Welcoming the baby, getting snapped together by the paps while at a restaurant or shop with their kiddo. Also getting seperately snapped with their kid.
PS: make it a fic, please.
Pre-P.S.: feel like that would be a really... story-less fic though. And I'm saying that as someone who can write 5k words on just one evening where nothing big happens (do need to finish that one, too...).
- They obviously can't hide the end of Amy's pregnancy when she appears on red carpets with her giant belly, and tbh she's way to happy and proud to want to hide it! But Jake also gets a bit overprotective concerning paparazzi, and they both answer interview questions with the same empty lines they've settled on, revealing basically nothing about the kid except that of course they're all prepared but don't know what they'll do, of course they've gotten some wonderful gifts from famous friends, of course they'll try to be as hands-on parents as they can be even with their jobs, blablabla
- When Mac finally comes Jake literally only tweets "BRB, gotta do the dad thing for 18 years now I think" to which Amy (via Rosa) replies "Forever, babe" and that's the last anyone hears of them for 40 days. Gina does the pre-planned baby announcement on Jake's official, blue-ticked twitter that she commands, and Rosa re-tweets it for Amy, but that's it.
- Getting pap-snapped with their kid the first time they're out and about is genuinely the only thing that has ever made Amy and Jake angry in public. They're well-known as being some of the nicest people in the Hollywood world to work with, but Jake literally hunts down the paparazzi a block from the baby clothes store they were caught at and demands to see the pictures. Luckily bébé is not really visible in them because he's hidden in his slingwrap against Amy's chest, so he lets the pap go with only a warning
- they otherwise do a great job keeping him out of any pictures or spotlights, even keeping his name mostly a secret. Fans know him only as bébé (said with an overly dramatic fake French accent, as Jake does during his Insta videos) and peanut (which Amy uses when she tweets about him). But there are of course those blurry, far away pap photos of Jake cradling a little bundle in his left arm while getting Amy's customary on-set coffee, and shots of Amy with a loaded stroller covered with muslin fabric so bébé is hidden.
- they get a little bit more lax as he gets older, especially on their personal Insta-accounts, but even Stories are pre-set and timed to show maybe a week or so after they actually happened, and vetted by Rosa and Gina, who have a really good eye for catching things in the background / info they wouldn't want to share. Fans do love those little glimpses into what seems a wonderful yet chaotic homelife (Amy has mentioned on several live-chats now what a mess Jake can create, and that his son is 'very much like daddy' in that regard).
- Jake mostly does Bad Dad Joke posts and posing with baby gear without any baby in it just to rile people up
- also, a few years down the line, these two pictures definitely happen, but both with Jake:
