GENERAL DATING HEADCANONS

Thank you so much for your request ^^!!! I hope you don't mind me writing dating headcanons for Mychael :>

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

- I LOVE HIM SM AHHHHHHH

- He's insecure af, as we know, so it'll take him long to believe that you don't see him as a monster

- But the moment he slowly begins to believe your honey smeared words? Oh, he's going to be absolutely smitten with you

- Do you remember the flower field where he took the MC? This is your date spot now and I won't be persuaded otherwise

- You either stargaze, have a picnic or just look at the clouds as the butterflies surround you two

- You two would make flowercrowns together, idc if you don't know how to make them. He'll gladly try to teach you

- He adores preparing little snacks and drinks for the picnic date with you

- He always hums a happy tune as he makes the snacks

- He'd undeniably enjoy morning strolls with you

- Imagine holding his hand as you two walk around in the woods. He might even hum a little tune as you do

- He was definitely nervous at your first official date

- He read tons of books about romance after he discovered his feelings for you

- He also read the most traumatising and disturbing things he's ever read

- But it's worth it if it meant that you'll be happy

- He loves listening to you talking about your interests

- He doesn't really initiate physical touch at first

- But if physical touch is your love language, he'd start to initiate it more often

- He follows you around everywhere you go when you're at his place

- He gets very flustered when you give him quick surprise kisses or hugs

- But he'll quickly ease into your touch

- He LOVES playing those no WiFi games on your phone

- RIP your phone storage, it'll be greatly missed

- He enjoys getting kisses all over his face and could spent forever in your embrace

- His love language is definitely receiving words of affirmation

- He'd definitely gift you random leaves and tell you that they reminded him of you

- They're really pretty ones though

- I think one of his love languages is also acts of service

- He just adores taking care of you

- He would love to cook with you, in a sense that you're sitting at the dining table and give the food a taste and clean the cutlery he used

- yummy

- If you tell him about your favourite food or snack, he'd always have it or at least have the ingredients ready in case you suddenly crave it

- He's definitely a morning person

- It took him SO long to share his bed with you

- If you two are sharing a bed and cuddling, he would be hesitant to leave your side, but will eventually since he wants to prepare breakfast and tend to his chickens

- He loves seeing you hanging out with his chickens and taking care of them

- They are sort of his family after all

- He'd definitely love to share one of his hobbies with you. May it be knitting or gardening, he'd be more than happy to teach you

- But he'd also enjoy just having you sit next to him as you do your own thing

- I don't think he's someone who would begin to fight over something small

- If it does happen, he would quickly apologize

- He gets pretty coy when he realises that you want to start a silly argument with him that leads to nowhere and doesn't even make sense

- If you two get into a big fight he'd definitely snap quickly, but he's quickly apologising

- He cools down pretty quickly when he gets mad, but he feels very awkward after and isn't very good when it comes to talking it out

- I do think that he gets jealous of others to a certain extent due to his insecurities

- However, I don't think he would act out of order to a certain extent

- Hypnosis can fix many things after all

- If you ever feel down, he'd wrap you up in a burrito blanket, make you tea and just cuddle you

- He doesn't know shit about comforting others, but he's a great listener

- He'd probably try to distract you with whatever comes in mind, wherever it be with food or just cuddling he's at your service

- If he feels down, he just wants to be near you in silence

- If you're mentally ill he'd probably start to bomb you with questions

- Of course, he would back down when you tell him to, but he'd be confused at first

- He's a great listener though, as I mentioned, and would do his best to learn about your issues

- Same thing goes for when you're chronically ill

- If you have a hobby you can practice at his place, he'd be ecstatic to watch you and maybe even join you in your activities

- He almost shed a tear when you made/bought him a cake for his birthday

- And when you gave him gifts? He was so delighted that he couldn't stop smiling like a goof

- He wouldn't have a dramatic reaction when you give him pet names

- I think he'd enjoy most pet names that start with the word "my", for example "My love, my dearest, my dear, etc..."

- When you two cuddle, I think he would enjoy facing you and having your limbs tangled together as you cuddle

- He purrs every time

- He could've sworn that he almost died due to his embarrassment when you told him about his purring habit

ofc you can babes! this isn't explicitly a non binary reader but its gender neutral. enjoy

Nico x Child of nyx!reader

—--------------------------------ʚ🍓ɞ--------------------------------------

You squinted at the laptop in front of you. It had heated up during the hour you’d already spent tapping away on it and now your lap was unusually warm. 

That was what happened when you had to use a shitty piece of tech from ten years ago technically you weren’t even supposed to have it. Not that Chiron knew about the wifi signals that permanently radiated from the hephaestus cabin and thankfully reached your cluttered cabin and therefore the pillow filled bed you were lounging on. You scrolled down past all your imputed details and clicked BUY. 

The last message flashed up at you on the ticket page. 

Thank you for purchasing : x2 Mythomagic Convention Tickets 

You giggled evilly to yourself, like you were plotting world domination and not a cute and thoughtful gift. Then you slid the laptop off your thighs so you wouldn’t get a permanent USB port imprint in your skin. 

It wasn’t night yet, but one peek out the drawn curtains of your window told you dinner was over. Demigods trailed back from the pavilion in throngs, heading to the beach or the basketball/fireball court or whatever else diurnal people did with their time when the sun was out. 

That thought reminded you that it was pitch black in your cabin. You stood, stepping over one of those inherited treasure chests you hadn’t worked out how to open to turn on the antique lamps that were scattered around your home. 

Nico collected them. He liked antique things. So did you. Well, you liked him, which was pretty much the same thing. 

The warm yellow lights created shadows as well as spotlighting the sleeping bats in the rafters and the bookshelves filled with burned down candles and plants that didn’t need photosynthesis and multiple jars of cookies. 

One of said shadows stretched its inky tendrils out until there was enough room for your favorite visitor to stroll through. 

Only stroll was a polite way of putting it. 

“CLOSE IT! SHUT THE-”

“Okay, okay!” you shrieked, dropping the cookie jar and waving your hands at the shadow behind your panting and disheveled boyfriend. The cyclops arm that had reached out to grab him was pulled back into the shadow.

Nico shook rain and monster dust out of his hair, pulling a thoroughly wet jacket off himself. “There's cyclops dust in my shoes,” he grumbled. 

You lit a candle and put it down on the floorboards. The shadow vanished. No chance of cyclops invasions. 

“What on Olympus have you been up to, Casper?” You asked. 

“You know Casper’s the name of the ghost, not the person who can see…” he squinted at you for a moment and then rolled his lips inwards. “Nevermind. I was trying to do my job but then Piper sent me one of those videos of that singer again… and the monsters tracked it.”

“Chappel Roan’s worth it,” you said understandingly, and flopped onto your bed. 

Nico picked up his jacket and took his shoes off. They were leaving puddles on the moon shaped rug. He put them all in the dryer you had running next to the minifridge. 

He sniffed, “who?”

“Nevermind.”

You moved some of your pillows out of the way so he could snuggle next to you. You wrinkled your nose at his post battle/shadow travel smell, and handed him a fluffy blanket before he caught a cold and spent a week in here sniffling and moping while you force fed him soup. 

Not that you were against the idea, but sickness ment no kisses and you were strongly against that idea. 

“It was boring,” he continued, looking like a burrito, and shuffled his toes underneath your hot water bottle. It had smiley faces all over it. “What did you do today?”

You wiggled in excitement a little. He was gonna be so happy. 

Nico narrowed his eyes. “Did you kidnap another nocturnal animal to keep as a pet?”

“No,” you huffed, and reached for the overheated laptop, pulling it towards the both of you. Someone screeched like an owl outside. It was followed by the sound of what was probably most of the Hermes cabin laughing. 

You handed it to him, “have a look at what we’re doing next weekend.”

He narrowed his eyes even more, and then fetched his reading glasses out of his front pocket, sliding them on to squint at the screen.

“I’m attracted to an old man,” you whispered to yourself, horrified.

“OH MY GODS! OH MY GODS! WE’RE GOING TO-”

“Hell yeah we are!” You yelled back, as he shook your shoulders and nearly kicked everything off your bed. “We got front row tickets to absolutely everything, and Katie’s gonna drop us off on her way to-”

You were cut off when he lunged forwards and kissed you. 

It wasn’t a very good kiss, cause you were both grinning too hard, but you tangled your fingers through his wet hair and pulled him closer. His lips were so soft. 

“Someone’s excited,” you smirked.

FICLET: Plans (MLB, Lukanette)

Characters/Pairings: Luka Couffaine, Marinette Dupain-Cheng; Luka Couffaine/Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Rating: General Audiences

Summary: Marinette gets sick and has to miss Luka’s show.

Author’s Notes/Warnings: …I’m supposed to be in DC tonight for a concert, but covid said no, so I’m moping.

Read on Ao3

“Plans”

Glassy blue eyes stared out at him from the blanket cocoon.  Not even the distance and crappy wifi could cover that up, but he wasn’t sure if it was the illness or the tears she was barely suppressing.  He wasn’t sure he wanted to know.

“There will be other shows, darning,” he said, brushing his thumb across the screen like it was her forehead.

“…shut up,” she mumbled.

“You know it’s for the best,” he said.  Like something as silly as logic would make up for the fact that she was too sick to travel today.

“Luka,” she whined, dropping her face against the bed and pulling the blanket closer.

He settled back against the bench with a sigh, dropping his head against the cool glass window behind him as he let her cry it out.  He hated it, too.  He wanted to be there with her – he should be there with her.  Making her crappy canned soup and holding her hair back while she threw up and clapping her back when she got too congested.  You know, the sick stuff you did when your better half was too ill to be much more than a bed burrito.

…but he’d been travelling for about a month now.  Working on the new album.  Prepping for the next tour.  Bouncing between studios to collaborate with old friends.  He had a few shows lined up over the next two weeks, and then he’d be home for about a month before the summer tour started.

She’d been busy, too.  With a few needy high-demand clients and a charity event that all meant she hadn’t been able to travel much with him.  He was only two hours away tonight, but she had diligently been keeping that night clear on her calendar so she could meet up with him.  Grab some dinner before the show.  Grab some time after before the bus had to roll out the next day.

They’d both been looking forward to it.  It was the only thing that had kept him sane at some points over the past month.

…but she’d been pushing herself too hard.  Like she always did.  And Jocelyn’s allergies had been acting up, until Jocelyn had texted her about five days back saying it wasn’t allergies.  And then Marinette’s cold wasn’t just a cold, and she was fine.  She honestly was.  They’d been lucky.

…but it still wasn’t safe for her to travel.  She didn’t want to risk getting others sick, but more than that she wasn’t strong enough yet.  He wouldn’t let her.  As much as he wanted to see her, he didn’t want her to stress herself making the trip just to relapse.

“I’ll see you in two weeks,” he said, rubbing the screen again.  “It’ll go by in a flash.  And you’ll be feeling worlds better, and I can play you whatever you want –”

“You know it’s not the concert I’m upset about,” she moaned, raising her head to glare at him.  “I miss you, you idiot.”

It would have been more effective if she hadn’t started coughing in the middle of it.

“It’s a little bit the concert,” he teased, smiling softly.  Hoping to make her smile.  It wavered when she just glared balefully at him.  “Admit it: you needed the night out.”

“What I needed was a night in,” she whined.  She looked away as she started coughing again, and when she turned back the blanket was bunched up so only her weary eyes were visible.  “With my husband.  The past week in doesn’t count.”

“I know, darning,” he said.  “I need a night in, too.  But I need you to be safe more.”

“I was safe,” she grumped.  “Stupid Joce and her stupid not-allergies.”

“You love her, too,” he said.  She hummed, and he knew she didn’t mean it.  Besides, Jocelyn was already beating herself up enough over this.  “You look ready to drop, Mari.  Go back to bed for me?”

“I am in bed,” she mumbled.

“Sleep,” he insisted.  “I’ll check in before the show.  And after.  No encores tonight, I promise.”

“I love your encores,” she sighed.  She giggled, and it would have made him feel better if it hadn’t turned into another coughing fit.  “Remember…remember Jay’s face when you did My Marinette Is My Only Family?”

He did.  His dad hadn’t been able to finish the song, he’d been laughing so hard.

Good times.

“I’ll save them for when I’m home, then,” he chuckled.  He brought his phone up to his mouth and kissed the camera.  “Please, darning.  Take care of yourself.”

“I hate this,” she whined.  He swallowed.

“Me, too,” he said.  Her hand slipped, until she was barely in the screen and most of what he was seeing was their ceiling.

“Play my song for me?” she asked.  He nodded, though he wasn’t sure she saw it.

“Every night,” he said, chuckling.  He’d been touring long enough that she knew it was his closing number in every set.  “Get some rest.  I’ll be home before you know it.”

It was for the best.  They both knew that.

It didn’t make it hurt any less when he took the stage that night and she wasn’t waiting for him in the wings.

random update but my apartment wifi is so shit so i signed up w a provider to get my own personal wifi thing for my unit but i can’t even install it until roughly the END of november because these bitches working on hydro or something whatever the fuck that means and im already over my data limit until third of november so that means i don’t know how im going to write anything for halloween if i can’t get reliable wifi unless im at a cafe or on campus like these people aren’t even fucking letting me write morally irredeemable horny wanda thoughts for the spookies

and moreover im literally still struggling with random bursts of anxiety and panic and dread like im feeling like nyu lizzie anxiety trauma that led to the joint creation of miss hattie harmony like

so much shit going awn…..

but anyways this means that it im not as active (tho i still will be just not as much as i’d want to escape this anxiety ridden reality rn) it’s literally not my choice….. 😣 im baby LOL im so small please someone wrap me in blanket burrito and rock me back and forth

LOL baby :)

okay well… I DONT KNOW I DONT KNOW ANYMORE I JUST DONT KNOW AND SECONDLY WHATS EVEN THE POINT OF GETTING MY WIFI AT THE END OF NOVEMBER BITCH THATS OVER HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEMESTER IM NOT EVEN GONNA BE HERE FOR HALF OF DECEMBER IM GONNA BE AWAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS?????????

okay well idk so that’s my update….

Custom Toonami Block Week 195 Rundown

The Witch from Mercury: The gang’s all here and it’s the final roundup before the attack on the Death Star. There’s this kinda funny scene where the Space UN tests trying to fight outside the Wifi Net Quiet Zero has and their shield is impervious to energy and takes control of any guided missiles they throw, like I know bullets are illegal in space because it’s basically zero gravity pollution and that gets messy real fast but you might wanna try it just this once. Anyway Miorine’s in full blanket burrito mode and Guel challenges Suletta to an Utena duel and I’m not entirely sure why he’s doing this. Like I don’t wanna say he throws the duel because that would be kind of an insult to Suletta and all she’s done but the reason he gives is kind of that silly pride shit he’s supposed to have outgrown. So like I think he is trying but knows she’ll win regardless and free Miorine from the idea of being married to the strongest person chosen for her so she can meet with the person she already chose dressed in the champion’s regalia she deserves. The two finally meet and have a very nice conversation that kinda converges their character arcs, Suletta has to act even if it’s hopeless because she can’t live with doing nothing, and Miorine has to overcome her fear of making mistakes that get people killed by letting Suletta risk her life and taking decisive action on her own. The part I really like about the next bit is they plan to send Chuchu’s suit in without wifi enabled so Quiet Zero can’t do shit to it like sending an old landline computer in to infilitrate a wifi network and they compare it to driving while blindfolded which is EXACTLY what Chuchu did in her intro, like that’s some beautiful foreshadowing, I kinda love how on the nose it is. Suletta clears the test of not fucking dying when they strap her into the Monster Energy Drink Gundam and Miorine closes a deal with Shadiq so they can have all their character arc cameos ready for the Hopes & Dreams Save the World final battle. Lauda picked the absolute worst time to fight it out with Guel about killing their dead in giant unpainted mobile suits and Suletta charges in determined to communicate with Eri and Prospera, good shit.

Ranma ½: A lot of this first episode really plays around with the dramatic irony of the premise which is kind of a double-edged sword since if most people know anything about Ranma as a series it’s the premise. Trans Icon Ranma Saotome was cursed to turn into a girl whenever he’s dipped in water and turns back into a boy when dipped in hot water, with his dad doing the same but he becomes some sort of Kung Fu Panda, what a ridiculous idea. I like how tongue in cheek the cursed springs are like they’re literally just a hundred different premises for various anime about cursed people and Ranma just happened to get the only one that gives him massive tits. Anyway now the main story kicks in where Ranma and Genma are returning from China, having for some reason picked NOW for the time his genderfluid son has to engage in an arranged power marriage instead of figuring out the whole ‘am I okay with sometimes having tits or do I wanna get the curse broken’ deal. There’s three choices but realistically the only one Ranma has any chemistry with and the only one with any interest in running a dojo is comedically overpowered Akane. They go through a whole thing of showing how Ranma’s ridiculously faster than her but they don’t touch on if he’s actually stronger since she seems to just kinda have the kind of sociopathic superstrength that makes beating the shit out of someone with a random background object funny, like she’s Shizuo Heiwajima without the invulnerability. Problem being Akane has some massive misandry issues and sees Ranma as a man first and feels lied to about him introducing himself as a woman (I feel like there’s some trans subtext there, I don’t generally like pushing that on things where people almost certainly weren’t thinking like that at the time but it is worth noting that it does kinda line up nicely) meanwhile Ranma has some complicated feelings about it given he really did want to be friends with Akane and bonded with her over fighting but feels his gender got in the way in the end. Some complex emotional stuff right off the bat and I am kinda here for it even if these people seem to take a crazy amount of baths since we have to do the ‘they walk in on each other naked’ bit like three times in the same night. But yeah, interesting start, I know a lot of this is gonna be slapstick and fanservice but I am kinda interested in how the gender issues and the psychological stuff is handled given their relationship has hit such a roadblock right away and both feel betrayed by the other. I remember a lot of the Inuyasha filler kinda defaulted to “Kagome’s right because she’s mad and the mad person is always right” but if I recall the canon stuff was a bit more nuanced and of course the ‘women are always right’ tropes is kind of challenged when Ranma is also sometimes a woman so we’ll see how that goes.  

Castlevania: We’re like three episodes from the end so it seems to be a weird time to be building up a new villain in Varney and especially in Ratko but a good chunk of the episode is just them shouting their philosophies at each other. Now that Hector and Isaac’s plots are wrapped up there’s an odd tacked-on feeling to the more episodic plot of resurrecting Dracula. Still, Alucard’s starting to regrow some of his humanity now that survivors have started staying at the castle and it’s clear he’s not willing to even begin processing all the fucked up shit his dad did and what he had to do to stop him but needing to actually store people in the castle is kind of forcing his hand a bit. Meanwhile Germain’s setting up Hector’s portal magic in weirdly conspicuous spots around paintings and eventually plants the end point on the spot where Dracula died so yeah that’s gonna be a mess. Last but not least Trevor and Sypha finally make it down to the court of miracles and find the royalty is fucking dead and this girl that’s been taxing everyone is just crazy and… yeah that was kind of obvious from the start, they kinda play with how insane she is but honestly she’s just kinda the worst, it’s just kind of a ‘Cool story, still despotism’ situation but before anybody can worry about getting the citizens any actual help Ratko barges in with his demon dogs to presumably look for the incredibly powerful broken magical thing Trevor’s been muttering in the corner about for the past ten minutes.

Dandadan: Momo is a very un-average girl that no one understands and gets into a fierce dork-off with local nerd Ken after her boyfriend dumped her and the two resolve to call the other one’s supernatural beliefs stupid, with Ken believing in aliens and Momo believing in ghosts, welp turns out they’re both right and we have a Gintama style anachronism soup right here. Momo reveals her adoptive grandmother is a Monogatari-style ghost asskicker whose general weirdness alienated her from Momo even though she loves her. Meanwhile Ken’s just a fucking lonely-ass dude who wanted alien friends since he was also literally alienated and the two aren’t so different. Ken ends up getting cursed by an old lady ghost that steals his dick and gives him superpowers while Momo gets captured by Pixie Aliens that want to sexually assault her because this is still an anime and we gotta have someone in their underwear in the first episode. Points for subversion though as it turns out Ken’s ghost powers are kinda berserker and useless while Momo gets esper powers from the alien drugs unlocking her latent chi and is able to basically turn into Tatsumaki from One Punch Man and blow up the whole fucking spaceship. So yeah, good opening, aliens are defeated but they still have to deal with Ken’s curse and stop him from going crazy while they sort out his whole deal. Really neat start, reminds me of when I watched the first episode of Jujutsu Kaisen and they’re laying the emotional groundwork while not cleaning up the initial encounter right away, it’s always a vibe to see those initial few grounded episodes before things start getting really crazy.

Delicious in Dungeon: The group has finally become level 4 friends and unlocked Senshi’s tragic backstory. Turns out when Senshi was a kid his group got trapped in the dungeon looking for gold and ended up running out of food and getting picked off by a Griffin. All of that would be enough to traumatize Senshi but what’s worse is his leader fet him some of the supposed griffin meat right after getting into a heated argument with their last surviving member so Senshi’s not sure if he really ate a Griffin or he ended up being a cannibal and really enjoying it. Once he was left alone he made friends with the orcs and grew up in the dungeon, finding that even though he could physically leave it, too much had happened for him to ever be able to mentally leave it. So now the group make a fun cooking adventure out of the question “Is Senshi a cannibal?” and there’s some shenanigans but short answer is no he’s not, the dwarves were just bad at monster classification and they ate a Hippogriff instead and as convenience has it, the griffin they killed was actually a transformed hippogriff (good because having another pinned sidequest would kinda wreck the pacing). Now that all that’s wrapped up, the party’s also transformed by the mushrooms that got the Hippogriffin and all swap races, shenanignas ensue. It’s pretty funny watching everyone weigh the pros and cons of their new race but given it’s not what they’ve trained to specialize in all their lives, it’s a major disadvantage for most of them. Now they’ve reached the Skyrim Steampunk Dwarven ruins and before they end up having to fight any steampunk golems they camp out and have some dumplings and try to figure out a way to change back.

Gleipnir: Shuuichi is an average kid that no one understands (Hey, had to play that straight once this week) and he’s actively burying his talents in some Yoshikage Kira-esque attempt to be seen as normal, except instead of cutting off hands and summoning punching ghosts he turns into a dog mascot that’s basically a shitty clumsy version of Inuyasha without the sword. He gets an enhanced sense of smell and is seemingly very sensitive to the scent of death when he stops a young girl from killing herself via arson and the Shinji Ikari factor kicks in and he wants to take her panties off because this is still an anime and we WILL have someone in their underwear in the first episode. So I expected Clair to be the key to the inevitable impending death game that involves transforming mascot characters but no, turns out she’s just a suicidal girl and a jerk that blackmails Shuuichi (I mean to be fair he did sexually assault her so they’re both kinda jerks, idk who I’m supposed to be rooting for but Clair’s the more outwardly scummy out the gate) but they do end up getting attacked by another transforming assassin and will surely unravel said inevitable death game soon enough. Side note but my GOD this anime is horny, like obviously that’s not something I particularly mind given I just finished Konosuba and Ranma and Dandadan are on the block but this one’s different there’s a lot of underwear and panties and bras and shit for no real reason and it just feels like it’s just there to be voyeuristic and wish-fulfillment as opposed to adding flavor or character or even comedy, like ngl Clair’s hot don’t get me wrong but the fanservice here is so wild and blatant something kinda rubs me the wrong way since we’ve essentially got more panties than plot in the first episode.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: We pick up right where we left off last time with Saiyonji being exepelled and going presumably on his own Chazz Princeton rich boy humbling arc like Guel. This whole episode we see how two-faced Touga can be as he promises to care for Saiyonji’s safe passage and immediately burns his diary and how he pretends to not know what’s going on despite having an Aizen-like plan for this whole thing. Turns out he’s the next up to fight Utena but he still hasn’t healed, luckily there’s another Skywalker to come fight the pink-haired anime girl. Nanami’s pissed at Utena for getting Touga injured and Utena just kinda takes it since she’s feeling a little guilty too. Her whole demeanor towards Touga is softer and more awkward for a lot of the episode and she feels like if she can just thank him she can get it off her chest. At Touga’s birthday party they try to talk but Nanami steps in to shove them away and we get intermittent flashbacks of her giving Touga a kitten for his birthday when they were little which thanks to the cosmic parallel factor of the Utena world is what Anthy got him this year. They really do some work to make Nanami seem like a genuine threat again and that’s a hard sell given we’ve had several straight episodes of her failing Team Rocket style and getting trampled by elephants. Still the flashbacks reveal she fucking killed the original cat since he liked it too much despite her earnest hardwork in giving it to him being the reason he liked it in the first place, like that crosses the line between comedically crazy girl to genuine nutcase. Either way this all proceeds according to Touga’s plan and he crowns Nanami as the next duelist and she and Utena will fight. The actual duel’s kind hilariously quick but Nanami’s not here to marry Anthy she just wants to straight up kill Utena and comes out for blood. Eventually they get her restrained and Touga gets the info he needs to fight Utena next, also Nanami kinda looks better with her hair down, damn.

I made a hoisin pork stir fry with lots of different vegetables mixed in, I added teriyaki and lemon juice to the vegetables, it was quite nice

Probably because of the potential autism, I used to hate things with lots of textures, flavours, and things going on, still sorta do. But I have found in burritos and stir fry's, I can use that to my advantage, cause my mouth gets a bit overwhelmed it can't pick out things it doesn't like. Something about the individual components all working together balances out to be a good thing too, when individually I do not like them

I've had a few signs I think I'm hitting a depression spot, hopefully it doesn't last too long, I'll just try to bumble along and maintain everything. I keep getting stressed about my wifi too, only Virgin provides any sort of speed where I live, but I can't afford the full price and I won't be given an offer if I try to quit again, but I also can't go back to shit internet since I live on it, I've suffered that enough. I haven't cried today, least not yet, so that's something over yesterday

Burrito story?????

Sure, why not?

So I don't really think there really needs to be a big lead up, when the final outcome is just a pathetic and/or fantastic mental image, but I'll do a backstory regardless. Those of you who are keeping track of Jaynelore at home feel free to take notes, cause this will be a big one.

I originally moved out of my parents' house for college. For reasons, it was pertinent that I moved back during my senior year, but now that I had a taste of ✨independence✨ I decided I couldn't just "move back in," so instead I took the time to renovate a room off of the garage into a suitable living space. Garage was detached from the house, the room was originally just storage, I turned it into a bedroom. Even painted it my colors. Room was a smashing success.

Moved out again after college. For reasons, I had to move back in February of 2013. During this time, I had another bought of ✨independence✨, BUT more importantly I had met my bff. Now I have to move back home. Understandably, bff is distraught that they can't see me anymore. After I'm suitably settled back into my garage house at the parents, I invite bff to come up and visit. Yay hooray.

They decide to "surprise me" instead.

During this stage in my life parents thankfully left me alone (except for minor occurrences), and I probably had a fuller social calendar then than I do nowadays, so having a car show up outside the house was not too out of the ordinary. Bff drove up to see me.

Meanwhile I'm just fucking living my life, which at the time meant (much like it does now) scrolling around on the internet, thankfully parents' wifi still reaches out to the garage.

OKAY

So HERE'S YOUR MENTAL IMAGE:

I am just going about my day, not unlike how I live my life now, except in a small unassuming room in a garage. It is nighttime. This is fully metime. I am sitting, in the dark, cross legged on a twin bed, naked except for bottomwear, hunched over my laptop, face assuredly lit up like a campfire horror story, shrouded only in a blanket, eating taco bell.

Bff walks in. And I have been Gollum ever since.

Don’t piss me off 10 11 and 11 dollars add up very quickly, you people need to stop relying on fast food to feed you every single day. it doesn’t matter how cheap it is or how long it lasts you, nowhere is truly cheap enough to justify consistently spending your money on shit that’s not even going to fill you up for more than two hours. if you go to the grocery store and spend 150 dollars, and you know where to look and what to look for, you can feed yourself for far cheaper per month than you would by spending your money on fast food every single day. don’t even argue with me on this either because this is first hand experience! i am a broke ass 20 year old working at a fucking wendys to make my rent car payment car insurance electric wifi etc and i can tell you for a fact! that if you save a check and use that to go to the grocery store and get yourself some lunch meats, breads, frozen meals, etc, you can survive for much longer off of that than you ever can with fast food. i could spend 6 dollars on a pack of 12 burritos and i can promise you that will last me way longer than “two grilled cheese burritos from taco bell which cost less than 10 dollars”. shit i could buy 3 12 packs of ramen and it will still cost less than “40 chicken nuggets from mcdonald’s which cost 11 dollars”. everything is expensive yes but it is soooo much easier to live when you are self reliant and know how to cook and don’t constantly spend your money every day on food that doesn’t even fill you up! i promise you, if you learn to do things for yourself and stop wasting money on fast food every single day then you’ll end up a lot happier (and end up with more money saved) because you’re the one actually doing it, and you’re doing it for yourself.

Javier Rios as Diego (Awkward Puppets) quotes:

“Okay, so we have a waterfall here…pretty crazy. I now understand why Monstropolis is in a drought. In my country, we drink water. Here, they play with water. Good job, America.”

“🎶I’ll take you to the candy shop!🎶—N-no, I won’t. It’s too expensive…”

*looking at the inside of the ROR house* “This is bigger than my country”

“Wow, look how beautiful….free wifi”

“Check out the bathroom, it’s all white. Donald Trump would love this”

“I’m not really sure what my father does. I think he’s a magician because uh…one day he disappeared and he never came back”

“You know you’re in Mexico when all you can smell is steak, burritos, tequila…and sadness”

TENNESSEE

2024 Sep 2 (Mon – Labor Day) – We drove into Knoxville to go shopping.  I had to buy a new bra to replace the one that walked away.  The mall was so incredibly huge!  It rivals the Crystal Palace in Washington, D.C.  And it was only one floor!  We walked and walked and walked.  I made an appointment yesterday for a bra fitting at Dillards.  When we got to the mall, Dillards was closed.  We went into Belk to look around.  Since I am assuming the presidency of SMART this month, I wanted to get something a little more suitable than jeans and t-shirts.  We looked through the clothes racks for a while, then Paul left to find a bathroom.  I looked at my watch, saw it was almost 11 a.m. and walked over to the lingerie department for my bra fitting.  When I got there, no employee was around.  I tried on a few bras, still found no employee for a fitting, so I bought what I always wear.  Then I walked back to the clothing department to find Paul.  He was sitting outside the fitting room, waiting for me to come out.  That’s when I realized my bra fitting was in Dillards and not Belk.  I think this is an early warning sign of dementia.  😊  We also stopped in JC Penney to look for clothes.

      We stopped in Loco Burro in the mall for lunch.  The meals were quite large.  I had two tacos with rice and beans.  Paul had a burrito with rice and beans.  It was very filling and left us with food to take home.

      Next stop was for fuel and then back to the campground where I could rest my back after all that walking.

2024 Sep 1 (Sun) – We drove to Clinton to tour the Museum of Appalachia.  It was quite interesting.  There must have been 30 log cabin buildings around the property.  In addition, there were exhibits and displays describing the lives of Appalachians from 1700 onward.  A lot of famous people came from the area – Chet Atkins, Roy Cauliff, the Carter family (to include June Carter who married Johnny Cash), etc.  Dolly Parton credited a radio personality for giving her a start in her career.  There were many musical instruments – both manufactured and home-made.  We saw banjos made out of a toilet seat, a bed pan, a wood burl, and so on.  We enjoyed the tour very much.  When done, we went into the café and had lunch.  The place was very popular and the line of people waiting to order never seemed to go down.  We both had chicken noodle casserole.  I had cream spinach and pinto beans for sides; Paul had broccoli casserole and corn pudding.  Afterward, we strolled through the shop and bought souvenirs

      Next door to the museum was a brand new campground that was recently built.  We drove through it and was quite impressed.  There were sites with gravel and sites with concrete pads.  All sites had full hookups and every other site had a wifi antenna. 

       I have been going back and forth every day with the muster master for the national muster that will be taking place later this month.  I am responsible for the seminar/class schedule and it has certainly been a juggling act.  As we get closer, it seems there is a mad push to get things perfect.

2024 Aug 31 (Sat) – We packed up and left Kentucky at 9:30 a.m.  It was 178 miles to Raccoon Valley Park in Heiskell.  We thought we had been here before but it doesn’t look familiar to either one of us.  When we arrived, the office was closed.  Our paperwork was in a slot by the door.  We located our assigned spot and set up.  We have full hookups.  The campsite is gravel with no trees.  At least we have 50 amp electric hookup and we can run all 3 air conditioners.  It is well into the 90s today.  Hot! Hot! Hot!

Train from Oslo to Voss

Saturday - 6/22/24

Today we took a six hour train from Oslo to Voss. The best views from the train is on the southern side of the train (I.e. the left side of the train).

During our train ride, a Norwegian text message appeared on the overhead display. We didn’t know what it meant at first. The picture on the left shows the message displayed on the train’s digital screen. Using Google Translate, as shown in the picture on the right, I quickly found out the English translation.

It’s hard to remember traveling in Europe before iPhones with digital cameras, Google Maps, WiFi, TripAdvisor, cell service, eSIM cards, Google Translate, and ChatGPT. Technology has made traveling abroad so much easier than it used to be. Upcoming generative AI releases will make traveling even easier and more interactive. I have been using ChatGPT regularly on our trip to fill in gaps in my knowledge, answering questions I had about Scandinavian life and a few of the museum exhibits.

Below is the first sign of snow we saw from the train. The train went up hill above the snow line towards Myrdal.

Then we saw more snow.

And then we saw a lot lot of snow.

From Myrdal the train went downhill to Voss. Voss is a small town known for its stunning natural landscapes, including majestic fjords, lush valleys, and pristine lakes. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure sports like skiing, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, paragliding, and skydiving. 

Below is a picture of the Voss train station and Scandic Voss Hotel, which is to the right of the train station. We checked into Scandic Voss Hotel, where we are spending one night. The hotel is convenient and pretty nice.

We walked town and saw the cute little house below. Too bad the rest of the town doesn’t look like this. Most of the town was built in the 60s, never remodeled and looks pretty tired. We are only staying in Flam because it is a convenient spot to leave our luggage as we take the Flam train and Fjord cruise tomorrow. We don’t want to have to bring our luggage with us during the day, and we will pick it up late tomorrow and then take a 7pm train from Voss to Bergen.

We decided to go for a hike to a lookout point at the Voss fjords and MaryEllen took the picture of me below at the observation point. This is what we have been waiting for!

Ok, not really. None of the last picture is true. We didn’t go for a hike and that is not me at the observation point. It is a photo of a postcard I bought in Voss.

Back to reality. The hotel offered a $39 per person all-you-can-eat buffet dinner, which would have been an option if we wanted to pig out. However, since we’re eating out so much, we try to eat lighter to avoid gaining weight on our vacation. We walked around town to check out the other four or five walkable restaurants and cafes, but they all looked pretty run down, had poor reviews, and/or were empty.

During our walk, we saw one food truck called El Caminito and decided to get food to go from there. We ordered a chicken burrito bowl and a pulled pork burrito bowl, and ate them on a very nice deck at our hotel. The food ended up being fantastic and was one of the top five meals we had in Scandinavia.

[famishedfeline]

Just checking, did you get my alien jelly sauce + chicken sandwich/breakfast burrito ask? Or my hotel room + massage ask? In a place with bad wifi, couldn’t tell if they sent, sorry!

the first one no, the second one yes!
