#but it'll never be meeeee

[maraschinotopped]

stumbling into the tumblr blog covered in blood. hey guys i think pendog creative library is pretty cool. you should check it out.

[bunnyboy-juice]

mkay its been a few days and i dont have the most perfect words to express this but uh. please remember just bc i reblog certain kinks on this blog and am publicly horny in general doesn't mean that you can try to engage in that kink with me without asking first, especially if we are not mutuals.

[bredforloyalty]

the 100 years thing is not cute because i have a worm in my brain that forces me to consider the implications and find none of it particularly cute btw . (and here i am, taking the kantian approach and putting aside the thing-in-itself, what if there was no itself, there are only infinite individual readings and i bring what i bring to it and i stop there and don't look for the elusive "truth"... it's my truth)..

Invites

"OMA, kill meeeee" Ellie, aka Wrath complained as she allowed her head to 'thunk' on the cafeteria table in the Watchtower she phased into in order to sit in next to a boy dressed in red, yellow, and green.

"Aren't you already halfway there?" Came Robin's response as he took a drink of his water, eyeing his teammate with a raised eyebrow, though it was difficult to tell with his mask in place.

"OMA?" Asked Superboy on the other side of the boy.

"Shush you." She said towards Robin before answering Superboy "Oh my Ancients, it's like OMG but like for us ghosties."

"Tt" "Oh!" Came both their responses.

"So..." began Superboy after a few minutes of silence between them as he looked at Ellie like a confused puppy "Why?"

Ellie groaned and just stayed slumped on the table as she said "Da's dumb Observants council is hosting another dumb ball to try to get him or me hitched again, and like always I'm forced to attend because I'm Da's heir. We both hate it with a passion, most are just stuck up, power hungry, social climbers trying to get into our pants for the royal titles... Espcially if they become our Forevermores."

"Tt, why not just get rid of them? Or simply have your Father dismiss the ball." Robin said, his eye twitching in annoyance just at the thought of it. A ball sounded even more annoying than the gala parties he is made to go to.

"Sounds stressful... Also Forevermores?" Superboy asked, he was always curious of Ellie and her ghost culture but never knew what could be asked or not, he had been warned to never ask how a ghost died after all and that question is normally asked in every ghost hunter video on the internet.

"Forevermores is our term for the ONE. The one and only we will ever be with. Till our final end takes us we are always to be with them only. We are core creatures and bonding on that level is like sacred, we don't rush into bonding like that though. But everyone in the Realms hopes to be either become mine or Da's. And the ball is their best chance at meeting us on neutral grounds." Ellie explained as best as she could for Jon, it was hard trying to explain the type of level a Forevermore was "And to answer you Robin, Da can't. The Observants, despite how annoying they can get with their dumb demands, are part of the system council for the Realms, they're sadly needed to keep things in check hence their name. Da and his friends are still trying to find a loophole to get rid of them though. They were only created when they put Tyrant King to sleep and they still sadly have some backings from other powerful ghosts in the Realms, even an Ancient or two and in order to fully dismiss them we need all Ancients on board. And the ball keeps a lot of ghosts, especially the more powerful ones, errr I guess happy? Most just use it to gossip on neutral grounds, others just like to dance, network, or other junk like that. Basically, when it's not about them trying to get mine or Da's hand in ghost marriage, it's fun so Da can't dismiss it, it'll ruffle to many feathers."

"Wow..." "Tt." Were the response from her teammates.

"Yeah. Da really isn't happy because someone suggested inviting powerful people from a few Mortal Realms this time. Somehow it got approved. So... here." She said as she reached into her own chest, phasing her hand in, and pulled out two green envelopes and placed them on the table in front of them. Both boys stared in surprise to see their names written in dark purple ink and the stylized DP on it.

"CW let me invite you guys personally. Everyone else should be getting theirs in about a few minutes complete with a blaze of green fire and spooky vibes." Ellie said with a strained smile, both happy to invite them but also dreading the questions she'll no doubt have to answer once the invites were sent.

Randomly Cuddling Them

A/n: Hahaha hiiii (⁠；⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠）it's meeeee I'm baaaaack In all seriousness, I've been dealing with a shit ton of stuff and summer depression is kicking my ass. I'm sorry I haven't posted in ages even when I promised I would, I just haven't been able to motivate myself to write. I won't promise you guys a schedule or another fic anytime soon, but I will say that I have no intentions of deleting this blog or stopping writing all together. Just be patient with me and to those who have requested things, I'm sorry I haven't answered them. They'll all come in due time :) In the meantime, have some fluff to make you forget about your depression.

Warnings: none, fluff, slight angst(?)

Gn Reader Masterlist

Steven

Welcomes the cuddle with open arms

He'll ask if you’re ok a few times, just wanting to make sure his darling is feeling well

He'll pet your hair and start talking about his day or a new book he's read to fill the silence

"You wouldn't believe the ending though! The main character has to sacrifice his "

Just sort of talks about anything to fill the comfortable silence, hoping it'll distract you from anything that's stressing you out

Definitely playfully brags to Jake and Marc in the headspace during and after the cuddles

"They wanted to cuddle with me :D"

Once you're ready to pull away, he'll give you a kiss on the forehead and continue reading or whatever it was before, but keeps an eye on you

He isn't sure what brought on the cuddles, and while he loves them, he wants to make sure you're ok

If you start looking upset or frustrated with a task, he'll gently pull you away from whatever you're doing and sit you on the couch

"Lovey, you can finish it later, just sit with me for a bit yeah?"

He'll pull you into his chest and read aloud from his book or ramble about something to distract you

He'll play with your fingers, interlacing them and kissing your finger tips before holding your hand to his face

"Love you, darling"

He'll say in the sweetest voice, you'll forget all about the stresses of the day or the stresses of tomorrow

Mission accomplished

Marc

He's a little caught off guard, but pulls you into his arms eagerly

He'll never turn down cuddles (cough touch starved cough)

He'll run his fingers through your hair or rub his hand up and down your back

He'll ask if you're ok, but won't push past that

He'll stay silent unless you ask him to talk

"Uh... I saw a lizard earlier today. It reminded me of you cause it was cute :)"

He's trying his best

If you stay in his arms for a long period of time, he'll start to think something might be wrong so he'll start making really really bad jokes

"I went to the deli earlier and the sausage they gave me was the wurst :D"

He won't stop until you laugh and he's not above tickling you until you pee your pants

It's like he unlocks a little box inside his head of terrible jokes and playfulness just for the purpose of seeing you smile

After the cuddles session, he'll watch over you carefully

If you start looking stressed or tired or anything but relaxed, he'll pop off with another joke

"Ya know, babe, I used to hate facial hair. But then it grew on me."

Is that a frown on your perfect lips? Not on his watch

"I don't think I told you this before, but I used to be able to play piano by ear. Now I have to play it with my hands."

Eventually, if you start looking too stressed, he'll just pull you into another cuddle session

"Can't have my baby getting stressed."

He'll explain, kissing you on the forehead and shushing you if you try to leave

He'll carry you to bed or the couch, locking you underneath him with his head on your chest

"So comfy, might just fall asleep here."

He snores loudly, trying to coax a giggle or two out of you

And when you fall asleep from the warmth he gives off, he'll watch you with love in his eyes

"Goodnight, babe. I love you."

Jake

There're two ways this could go depending on how he feels

He could be very smug about it, hold you tightly to his chest, mutter things like 'poor bebito/a, so needy for their Papi~' and make sexual or teasing jokes to lighten the mood

Or he could hold you securely in his arms, run his fingers across your back, occasionally kiss your head, and ask in a hushed voice 'what's wrong, mi amor?'

He thrives on physical affection, so either way he's incredibly happy to give it to you

Whether it be a quick kiss, setting his hand on the small of your back as he walks by, resting his hand on your thigh as he drives, or just touching your knee with his in a crowded space, he loves all of it

And depending on why you suddenly held onto him, he'll be very attentive

If he's making jokes when you just want to be held, he'll pick up in it right away and mutter a small apology with a kiss

He'll hum a song he heard on the radio, he'll keep his breathing long and slow to help calm you down if needed, he'll even read you one of Steven's 'boring' books

He's like Marc in a way, they'll both do absolutely everything in their power to make you smile or laugh if the situation calls for it

If you've gotten your fill of cuddles and start to pull away, he'll pout and pull you back down, muttering something about feeling cold without you on top of him

Which is a lie, they run extremely hot which has cancelled many cuddle sessions in the summer because 'It's too hot, Jake! And don't give me those puppy eyes!'

He refuses to let you go until you explicitly tell him you want him to

He'll act all sad, but he lets you go after a passionate kiss

Openly watches you closely afterwards, determined to see any slip of annoyance or frustration so he can whisk you away to your shared room and cuddle the stress away

And the second your brow twitches in frustration, he's coming up behind you and hugging you

"Bebito/a, dance with me."

He'll say, already swaying to the music playing in his head

He'll spin you around and subtly drag you away from the chore or work you were doing with a charming smile and his swaying hips

When you've rested your head on his chest and sigh softly, following the shuffling of his feet and sway of his hips, he knows he's succeeded in calming you down

The Other Side of Paradise

Chapter 2: Hot Sugar

Killer x gn!reader word count: 2.7k first|next a/n: date time date time date time. also m'eudail is scotts gaelic for my dear/darling.

The next three days were pure torture. Your brain was running with different ideas of what the news could possibly be and why he wouldn’t just tell you. Part of you kind of wish he had never mentioned the news, just made the date. Then the anticipation wouldn’t be suffocating you like it was now. At least the news seemed to be good considering how he delivered it. You felt like if it had been bad news, he would’ve told you already. 

You tried getting answers from him to no avail. Hell, you had even tried to ask your cousin and your friends. They all seemed to have no idea what the news was. Which, typically Kid was incredibly terrible at lying and keeping secrets, so he had to be in the dark about it too. He must’ve had no idea.

Not even begging helped. When he had his mind set on something like this, there was nothing you could do to make him give in. Sure, you could make Killer cave just about any other time. You were his weak spot and he could never say no to you. Sometimes, you used it to your advantage.

“Baaaaaaaabe, tell meeeee,” you whined on that Wednesday night, laying on his chest in your shared bed. 

He snorted, rolling his eyes with a grin. “What did I tell you last night?” You frowned, huffing slightly, moving his hair as you did so. “To wait patiently.”

“Exactly. I promise it'll be worth it.” He kissed you on the forehead, a mischievous glint in his eye - he was enjoying this. It wasn’t often he had the upper hand, so he was reveling in it.. “And if you're good, I'll be sure to give you a nice reward, alright?” His fingers traced up your spine and you shivered. If you currently weren’t so exhausted, you’d jump his bones right now.

You sighed again, burying your face in his chest, officially giving up. “Fiiiiine,” you groaned, muffled by his muscles. 

And you left it after that, not asking again. Sure, you made a jab here and there, seeing if he'd crack in the slightest, but it just wasn't the case. He was determined not to tell you ahead of time. You knew you weren’t going to get an answer, so you decided you’d wait everso impatiently.

Friday finally came and you couldn't have been more excited - you were almost vibrating. Mostly because you were going to finally know what he’d been keeping from you this entire time. He took you to class that morning. You were going to just call out from classes, but after he said that he wouldn’t have told you any sooner just because you did so, or adjust plans accordingly, you decided to bite the bullet and go.

Lucky bastard didn’t have Friday classes, so he was going to have all day to just sit and have a good time knowing you were suffering in class. Though, he’d been enjoying your suffering the last few days as well, so you shouldn’t have been surprised. The sadist. 

Time felt like it was moving at snail speed on purpose. The world knew you were mere hours away from what you’ve been waiting for for so long. You kept looking at the clock, only to realize hardly any time passed, torturing you even more. You couldn’t focus on any of your classes, your head only filled with what Killer had planned. So many what ifs in your head.

You ran into Hop at one point, hanging out with her until your next class. It seemed like the universe had some mercy on you as it had allowed both yours and her class to be let out early. You were able to now verbally complain about the pain and suffering you were going through - as if you hadn’t already texted her about it a million times already.

She listened, like the wonderful best friend she is. Then she laughed in amusement at your predicament. You might have been a little dramatic with your theatrics. “Maybe he's finally proposing,” she mused. You just looked at her, eyebrows furrowing. “He's already done that though?” 

“When you were thirteen. That doesn't count. He needs to do it again, properly.” She folded her arms, leaning against the tree. You hadn’t even thought of that possibility.

“Well, he knows I've never been one to care about grand theatrics like that. The little proposal in the park when we were thirteen was enough for me.” You frowned, fiddling with the small band around your finger that he’d given you that day. The two of you hadn’t even really talked about an official one.

“Maybe so, but maybe he wants to do it.”

You looked at her for a moment. “Wait. Did he tell you something? Do you know what it is? Is it that?” You narrowed her eyes at her. “What do you know? Hop, it is your duty as my best friend to tell me everything you know!” You had been so content with the way things were with your boyfriend that you hadn’t even thought of a proposal or if he even wanted to do an official one.

The only plan you had made so far regarding those things was the fact you were going to get married after you finished school.

Hop laughed, shaking her head, holding her hands up in surrender. “No, no. I don't know anything that you don’t know.. I'm just shooting the shit and guessing.” She shrugged, moving to readjust her ponytail. 

“Shooting very specific shit in my opinion,” you grumbled, folding your arms and pouting slightly. You groaned loudly, flopping on the ground. “It's been killing me.”

“Guess he's living up to his name then, huh?” 

You stared at her for a moment before both of you fell into a fit of laughter. “What's so funny?” A voice chimed. You looked up, seeing Bubblegum joining the two of you. 

It was the perfect opportunity for you to, once again, complain about having to wait. Hop watched with amusement as you went into your whole thing again. Bubblegum looked just as entertained as you ranted about it. 

“What if he’s proposing?” He finally said.

“That’s what I said!” Hop burst into laughter and you just stared at him.

“C’mon, one of you have to know something. How come you both came up with the exact same theory when I - his own partner - didn’t even think about it?”

Bubblegum snorted, shaking his head. “Probably because we are from the outside looking it. We’ve only known the two of you for a couple of years now. You two have known each other for over a decade and been together almost just as long. So, of course you’re not going to think it.”

Hop nodded, folding her arms and leaning against the tree. “It’s true. You guys are basically married already. I’m surprised you don’t call him your husband, honestly.” She snorted.

You huffed, your face turning bright red. “Well!” You opened and closed your mouth a couple more times before giving up. You didn’t even know what to say, making Hop and Bubblegum fall into more laughter.

You spent the rest of the time before your next class just tossing around some of the craziest ideas of what this news could possibly be. It was nice. Mostly because it helped time fly by quickly.

-

When the bell rang to signal that your last class was over, you bolted for the door. You headed to the nearest bathroom, changing your clothes and cleaning yourself up for your date. You didn’t want to sit in your nice clothes during class, after all. You haven't gone out in a while, so you were excited to be able to dress nice for the occasion. 

Once dressed, you hurried your way to the parking lot where you knew Killer would be picking you up. You saw his pick up, your heart racing with excitement as you headed over. All of your suffering would end soon enough! 

He must've been keeping an eye out for you because as you grew closer to his truck, he hopped out, rounding around to meet you. 

You grinned widely, running up to him and jumping into his arms. He picked you up and you wrapped your legs around him as you kissed him. You were just so excited! You smiled against him and felt as he did the same. You heard a couple people whistle at the two of you and someone shouting to get a room.

Oh, you’d be doing something of that vein tonight, that much was sure.

“You look great, y/n,” he said with a smile. You returned the grin, love and affection evident on your face. “You look good too.” He wasn't dressed to the nines, neither were you. It wasn't your speed. But both of you were dressed in nicer clothes and looked a little more put together than you usually did - the usual look being graphic tees and ripped jeans for the both of you. You often wore Killers clothes anyway, so baggy was also your usual look. 

“Shall we get going?” You nodded at his question, jumping down as he opened the door for you. He helped you in before rounding to the drivers side. 

Killer’s truck was one that could be either a manual or an automatic. He preferred driving manual because he liked having the extra control over his truck, but when you rode with him, he would drive automatic. Solely for the reason being that he could rest his hand against your thigh as he drove. When it was in manual, he had to keep it on the stick shift so he could switch gears and such. When it was in automatic, he didn’t have to do all the extra shifting, so his hand was free to rest where it belonged - on you in some way.

You were basically bouncing in your chair. Sure, you've been on plenty of dates before. Of course you have, being together as long as you have, but you always enjoyed it as if it were a new experience every time. You just enjoyed spending time with him. He was your favorite person, after all.

You didn’t catch it because you were too distracted, but he watched you with amusement and love from the corner of his eye.

It didn't take long to arrive at the smoothie place. The town you had resided in was small. The college is the only reason there was ever traffic in this tiny place. During the summers, it was dead. Not that you really cared, you had your friend group, even if they did grow sparse over the summers. You still had the same four people to hang out with that you always did.

Killer parked, leaning over to kiss your cheek before hopping out to open the door for you. He helped you climb out. He knew you could do it on your own, but he just liked helping. It was also just another excuse to be close to you - to touch you. He was just as infatuated with you as you were with him. 

You headed into the building, a skip in your step as you walked. Killer’s arm wrapped around your waist as you headed inside. You looked around, admiring the new little joint - it was cute. It was busier than you thought it would be considering it was still new, but maybe that's also why it was popping. 

There were so many choices that you didn't know what to decide on. “These are some fancy smoothies,” your boyfriend said. You nodded, looking at the advertisement photos and other peoples tables. They seemed to be garnished with actual fruits or vegetables. “It's kind of really cool.”

The two of you ordered, waiting at the end of the counter for your drinks. 

“What movie are you gonna wanna see?”

You thought for a moment. “Either some B rated horror movie or a romcom.” You just wanted to see something light hearted. Besides, the two of you were sometimes terrible at actually watching the movie. It was as if the moment the lights went down - the two of you were immediately on each other. It’s also why you both always picked seats in the back and away from people. You knew your terrible habits.

It wasn’t long before your smoothies were done, heading to a table towards the back and sitting down. “This is the coolest smoothie I've ever seen.”  Naturally, you pulled out your phone, taking an aerial photo to send to your friends before taking the standard ‘date night!’ photo of the two of you before putting your phone away. 

Typically, you refrained from being on your phone while on dates. You would take one of two photos, but the rest of the time your attention was solely on the love of your life. It wasn’t a challenge either, you preferred it that way. You just took pictures for the memories and to look back on. Killer wasn’t really that much of a social media or phone person, so his was hardly out.

Most of the time, you were surprised if he even had it on him. You asked him once why that was and he just responded with ‘my whole world is right here, why do I need a phone?’ and it almost made you immediately cry.

You looked at Killer, staring at him expectantly. He blinked. “What?” You narrowed your eyes. “You know what.”

It dawned on him and he chuckled, shaking his head. “Not yet.” 

You inwardly groaned. Just how long was he gonna make you wait? He already made you wait three days, hasn’t it been torture enough?

“I want us to enjoy ourselves first.”

You paused from sipping your treat. “That…makes it sound like it’s not good news.”

Killer snorted, shaking his head. “It's definitely good news, but it's also big news.”

You narrowed your eyes. Maybe Hop was right. Maybe it was a proposal. He certainly wouldn't do it in the middle of a place like this with all these people. He knew you hated having eyes on you, so it would make sense if he wanted to wait to tell you. Though, you feel like if he was going to propose, he wouldn’t have called it “news.” “Surprise” would’ve made more sense.

Gah! What was it!?

“You're killing me here,” you grumbled, folding your arms and sitting back in your chair, going full pout mode. Your boyfriend watched you with an amused look on his face. 

“C’mon, don't be like that,” he mused, taking your chair and pulling you closer to him. You gasped at the sudden movement but tried to keep up your little pouting act by slightly turning from him. His lips found their way to your cheek, his arm around your shoulder as he pulled you in. “Baaaabe,” he crooned in his deep voice, kissing your cheek again. 

“I promise it'll be worth it.” Just as you were his weakness and couldn’t say no to you (most of the time), he was also your weakness. You struggled staying mad at him even if you were just being dramatic. He poked at your side and you tried to ignore him, but failed miserably as he kept doing it. You fell into a fit of giggles, turning towards him to catch his hands. “Okay! Okay. I'll be patient. I've waited this long. What's a couple more hours?”

“That's m'eudail,” he mused, kissing you. You smiled, leaning into him. You pulled away, honestly glad the two of you had picked a corner to sit in. That didn't stop stares from coming your way anyway, but you couldn't care less. 

“I love you,” he said once you pulled away, making you grin even more. “I love you too.” You kissed him once more before turning back to your smoothie.

[demon-of-the-ancient-world]

Ok my *favourite* Athelstan headcanons I've come up with so far, complied from all my earlier compilations** go:

**and yeah, YEAH a lot of these are reiterations of what i've said a million times, fight meeeee

under the cut:

He needs very little sleep to function & his sleep schedule is a Mystery

Always A Little Too Cold, can't sleep without like 18 covers

Shares life/skills tips with Lagertha

They are each other's wingman/woman (& silently judge Ragnar together when he's Up To Something)

They mourn Gyda on the anniversary of her death each year

He pushes himself too far without knowing it sometimes, trying to exist through being way too stressed, exhausted etc.

Has trouble getting the at LEAST 3 languages he speaks straight in his head sometimes especially in those scenarios

Tends the garden at Ragnar's farm, and later keeps a little garden of his own, it keeps him calm and reminds him of his work at Lindisfarne

His birth name wasn't Athelstan, that's his chosen monk name (in a couple fics of mine I've called him Anselm)

Bakes bread like an absolute King

Good at cooking in general

Soup

Has an intense fear of thunderstorms/severe weather

Can swim if he has to but not a fan of water either

Ambidextrous (and would get in trouble at the monastery for occasionally using "the devil's hand" by accident)

But now he can fight with both hands so that's cool

Nearsighted (that's what spending years squinting at small print by candlelight will do to a guy)

It's rare for him to get sick

But when he does it hits him like an absolute truck. Like he won't catch a single cold for YEARS and then out of nowhere bam, stuck in bed for two weeks with the worst bug of his life

Lagertha helps him out if he's unwell, he's got some medical training from being a monk but like I said earlier when he's too stressed his brain does Not work

And he's also helped her with injury recovery after battles, sometimes giving her insight to things that would've been a lot more serious otherwise

Basically he's her physio coach

(he's tried to do this with Ragnar too but that man is Too Stubborn -- even when it's Athelstan)

Ragnar's INSTINCT is to immediately roast most things he says about his religion off bat-- but then he'll spend hours thinking about his takes anyway and come back like hold on what was that you said. And Athelstan is like. Aha.

He and Helga are best buds (to Floki's dismay)

Helga + Athelstan + Gyda flower crown making circle. Yes please.

Face turns beet red in the cold

Ragnar LOVES to playfully slap him on the back, throw an arm around him, hugs etc. which is all fun and great but sometimes he'll forget that Athelstan is like. Small. And will straight up knock him over.

Animals like him instinctively

He's that weird guy who brings his sketchbook to a party & draws people

But fr he has more trouble remembering faces than names (and to him all the Norsemen kinda look alike. He will never admit that.) so he keeps track of everybody this way

Eventually does get a tattoo on a wrist or ankle where it can't be seen by anyone

Sorta easy to not notice. He can be very quiet, to the point where if he wanted to sneak around and snoop he could with almost zero effort. But he doesn't bc morals???

Finds Ragnar's old clothes (that he's stuck with at the beginning of the series) comforting and doesn't mind that they're about four sizes too big -- he's used to loose oversized robes after all

Gyda had a crush on him when he first arrived and Bjorn teased her incessantly about it (Athelstan had no idea)

People get to know him as kind of an advisor and sagely type, and will come to him for advice (honestly...kind of like a priest would do. which is not a connection he makes anyone aware of, but it makes him happy)

Strategy game enthusiast

Learns to knit & makes his own clothes

Has a bit of a photographic memory

Learns to make tattoos despite having only one of his own

Tries to give Ragnar one at one point and they think it'll be a ~bonding experience~ but Ragnar will not stop squirming and Athelstan gets increasingly frustrated trying to get him to Hold The Fuck Still

....Phew

@grantairescurls @levithestripper @starrose17

I know I've bombarded you guys with so much Athelstan stuff that's probably super repetitive but ughhhghhhhhhhh I gotta exorcise these things

[sergeifyodorov]

Sometimes I just think about how insanely different the lives of all the 2015 draft class players are now and it makes me feel ridiculous. Like, Mitch is a hometown kid on the leafs and they either love him or hate him at all times, he’s doing good personally, is getting married, but professionally he’s in so much limbo. Connor is the most talented player in the world according to most people but he cannot win and the weight of the world is on his shoulders and he’s in a big black and white house in Edmonton. Jack was pretty much held hostage by the team that never wanted him, his bodily autonomy completely denied, and then he finally gets traded to the nhl villain team and he beats the guy who was always better than him. And Dylan isn’t exceptional as a player, he’s decent on an aging team full of dads and he has a wife and a daughter and another on the way and he just seems happy. I wonder if they ever think about each other.

I KNOW RIGHT like each of their stories has just gotten so much More interesting over the course of the past ... coming up on eight years now. Hockey is a fantastic soap opera, you know? The story just keeps on going.

And the crazy part is we're not even halfway through. A hockey player with a shelf life -- Mitch and Connor both seem pretty durable, and Jack seems a lot healthier now after his neck trouble has been resolved -- can last fifteen, twenty years if they're lucky. Who knows where the story will go from here? Dylan's contract extends further into the future than any other Capital -- he'll be a UFA in the summer of 2028, which ironically gives him more job security than any of the other three in the class. Good, for a boy who just wanted to be wanted somewhere. I wonder what the Capitals will look like after Ovi's done. (Assuming Ovi ever retires, although I have a sneaking suspicion he and Sid will go out in the same summer. They have always been entwined, after all.)

I desperately want to know if we'll see any of them on any other teams, too! Hockey is unlike a lot of other sports in that its biggest and brightest superstars tend to stay as put as possible: of what I consider to be the six "generational talents," (Howe, Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid)(IF U HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS SEND THEM TO MEEEEE), only one of them so far has played for more than one NHL team (Howe era Whalers don't count!!!). Mitch isn't generational by any means, but he's far and away enough of a superstar to go just about anywhere he wants, which for my own feeble sanity I beg means #leafsforever. I just hope if they go anywhere else then they keep to the colour scheme! Dylan's three teams have all been red and Jack's have both been yellow/gold. If Connor McDavid becomes a Dallas Star it'll mess with the damn symbolism (plus his TA of mathematics ass could never match the vibe that silly little group of rapscallions has).

And... the eternal question: the Cup. Eichs is obviously still in the hunt right now, but i do dearly want to know who of the four of them wins it and when. Fun fact: both Dylan's and Jack's only playoff appearances to date have involved eliminating Connor. Mitch actually made the playoffs first out of all four of them, but by one measly game Connor has more wins.

In summary: Urgrghghuhuhsgdhkgjhfdghhfgkdjfhjkd the lore... the drama... etc etc

[totaleclipse573]

Putting all of your Eclipses in a room (canon one included) to fight to the death.

No outside help, only them and their powers.

Who’s winning?

I LOVE THIS QUESTION HELP. TAKE A POINTLESSLY LONG ANALYSIS PLEASE

For starters I won't be including Zombot!Eclipse in here bc he could just infect everyone for an easy win💀And I won't be counting the too-new au's for this since they were made only recently (Silver's timeline au and the anti-redemption au. Anti mainly because it only just started being developed and he's already captured inside a gun facility 100% broken mentally bdskjflksd)

So we got :

Canon!Eclipse

Warped!Eclipse (Starline AU, aftermath)

Boom!Eclipse

Ruby!Eclipse (Aftermath)

Oc Universe Eclipse

Clone!Eclipse

HtV!Eclipse (Heroes to Villains)

Timeskip!Eclipse

Hydro, Solar and Bramble (Sonic Prime Au)

(Conclusion : I must be stopped)

HERE GOES

First off, the thing with Warped!Clippy. He............doesn't fight. Sometimes, he'll get this POWERFUL URGE in the back of his mind to kill Shadow, but it never ends up happening. He's just not all that confident! Despite what people tell him...he never was :/ He knows that. He doesn't fight, he runs. So either he's the first to go or this "fight to the DEATH" triggers his Starline implant responses and he goes CRAZY

Solar also hates fighting (not a good trait to have in New Yoke of all places. Good thing he's with the council...and this cyborg duck :D) but he CAN if he has to. He's fair at it, but not the best.

Hydro can fight but he also has the tendency to goof off WAY too much if he gets confident. He might get thrown off in the fight if that happens. He's also not the brightest in terms of intelligence...luckily his skills in hydrokinesis make up for that!

...................If there's water around. Which there probably isn't.

Oc Universe Clip is just Clip but he got a redemption arc and he's SEEN THE HORRORS. So. (Bonus points because he has an extra form, that being his flare form, but he can't use it too well, and it drains his energy immensely. So the chances of actually doing something with it are 50/50)

Canon Eclipse can and will fight everyone in this room and laugh when they're taken down by the superior him (his motivation is that. To prove he is the superior one) We've seen he can FIGHT, so he has a good chance

Timeskip Eclipse is a little more chilled than back in the day, but the gremlin instincts are still there. Plus, he's more experienced with his chaos energy, and has learned to handle his flare form and general powers somewhat better.

Heroes to Villains Eclipse is mostly similar to his canon counterpart, except now he has higher moral standards as a hero. Not to say he doesn't find a good battle fun every now and then... (Starline has had to drag him away from trouble countless times.) He's somewhat inexperienced with his powers, having really no one who is able to understand and teach him, so he tries to teach himself, but he can only do so much of that. Physical combat, though? He's pretty good at that :D

Boom Eclipse would fight to the death for fun. Might not know what's going on for the first few seconds but then someone collapses and he's like OH OKAY. DANG. FIGHT ME FIGHT MEEEEE!! His powers are WILD and he's okay with physical combat, you decide which is more useful

Now the more aggressive clippy's : Ruby and Bramble

Ruby Eclipse in his aftermath has been drained of most of his original personality by the ruby prototype. Even if it's not there anymore, he can't just get that back (not instantly, anyway, and even WHEN he does act more like himself again, it'll never be the same Eclipse.) Battling or fighting is natural, an instinct. He lashes out at times but can be stopped. But if you let him? He CAN and WILL take out everyone in the room, with the FULL INTENTION to do just that. Not because he wants to, really. It's something deep within him he can't just ignore.

Bramble is the shatterverse Eclipse who represents the originals aggression, and parental instincts. He's short tempered and WILL NOT HESITATE TO FIGHT YOU IF HE DEEMS YOU A THREAT. He also has the abilities to control earth, water, fire and air (AVATAR) just so long as his surroundings are fit for his abilities. (Ex. in his own shatterspace, he mains in his earth ability, while in No Place, he mains in water.) Pretty powerful Clippy

But all of this means NOTHING

Because none of them are going to fight the baby. He isn't a threat, he isn't getting involved, he's just watching and giggling in the corner. While the others all fight to the death, bitty Clippy still sits there, unharmed.

So what did we learn from this entire analysis?

Clone!Clippy, ultimately, is the most powerful clippy. Thank you.

Tag Game - New year's resolutions/wishes

Ty @its-kinda-snowy for tagging meeeee :D

I named them all last night let's see if I can do it again ��� Sorry that they're Long, I didn't mean them to be! TL;DR -> the bits in bold.

1. Start throwing out things I don't want, and using things I do, (don't panic about the future)

Every time I bought a scented candle, or a nice outfit, or a pack of nice pens, I'd suffer endlessly waiting for an opportunity to use them, and in the end I never would. I'm going easy on myself: unless there is a time in the near future where I am certain that these [scented candles] will be needed, I am using them Right Now. Because I like them. And this is why I purchased them.

(This also goes for things I don't need. If something is clogging up my counter space, or distressing me by taking up space, then it's going in the bin unless it's necessary for the next few weeks of my life.)

2. Write 140 words per day!

They don't have to be good or bad words, but they gotta be words and there gotta be 140 of 'em. At this rate, I'll have written about 50,000 words by the end of the year! This isn't enough for some people (I could never NaNoWriMo), but it's enough for me. I'll be channeling them into Blood, Blindfolds and Butterflies. Hopefully I can finish the fic, and if this works, next year I can update to 280 words for double the effect!

3. Start thinking about the Now.

I gotta say, I wasn't sure I'd make this, but I'm gonna try anyway. By focusing less on the future and the past, maybe I can let go of the anxiety I feel about the present! This goes well with "don't suffer twice" — the 'philosophy' that states that if you have nothing to worry about in the present, you shouldn't make something up to worry about in the future just to suffer. I have suffered a lot this year, needless to say, due to that depression and anxiety. I'd like to let it go.

4. Be more appreciative of myself!

One of the biggest struggles in my life — due to a load of educational trauma — is understanding myself to be Worth Something. I'm going to try and change that :3. This also goes for things I make and things I like! My fics, my arts, my special interest, etc. If I focus on those, and what they mean to me instead of what they cause other people to think, I think I'll be happier. That being said, this will probably have to be a three-year-resolution, as there's no way I'll manage it in just one, but maybe the extra day of a leap year will make it count 👀

5. This one's for @airlocksandaviaries — ily bestie.

I want to have more faith in people, for reasons I won't go into. It'll be tough, but — I'm gonna start having faith right now — I trust that my friends are gonna help me through it :")

Some of these seem life-changing to me, perhaps that's because I gotta change my life. My friend just put "read more", and honestly that's not any less important!

I'm tagging @iamscoby @airlocksandaviaries @doublechocolate @insertmeaningfulusername @babygirlbridger @jspookywolf @positivityjediprince @emilianadarling @24-guy ily guys :))

[plaindangan]

after the oni royalty yamato, its ulti's turn to end up in hopes peak academy, here she sees a ultra fat ass but super small and cute femboy emo, that kinda remind her of his little bro in a way, time to make that cutie SQUIRM!

Disclaimer: Below is content that's more on the racy side! If not for you, you probably shouldn't read!

"Ugh, this place is a dump compared to Kaido's place!!! Where's Pay-Pay! Maybe I should just transform and wreck this trash heap t-...huh?"

Ulti was griping to herself when she saw him walk past her in the park. A relatively short, emo boy whose head was deep in some files he was holding...and unaware of the way Ulti was staring directly at him. Or rather that clearly juicy butt that was jiggly and swaying ever so slightly as he walked. It kinda reminded her of Pay-Pay!! Maybe...he could be a good substitute~

"Hey, you!!!"

"Hm?" Shuichi turned around only yelp as he was swept off his feet as Ulti scooped him up with her immense strength and proceeded to bring him closer to her ample chest as she coddled him

"H-h-h-huh?! Who are you?!" He asked, and Ulti giggled.

"Me? I'm your new partner, duh~ And I'll never let you go, no matter what...ah?"

"Shuichi?"

"Shui-Shui!!" Not as close, but it'll do. From there, Ulti got a good feel for his phat ass. Kneading it and squeezing it so abruptly, that Shuichi had no time to say a retort before he was left moaning a good deal from her touches.

"My, oh, my, Shui-Shui! This thing is pretty big and flabby! But don't worry! Let Big Sis Ulti take care of you...and really give you a work out~" she says sensually, giggling as she took a blushing Shuichi to the thickest part of the part, surrounded by bushes. The detective not resisting as excitement filled his chest~

For all the things Shuichi expected today, one of the thing he wasn't expected was to be stripped to his birthday suit, his bubble butt lifted up for this new girl's pleasure...and having to deal with the brunt of her throbbing cock shoving into his ass. Big, it was super big~ Bigger than most guys here, most likely! The area was filled with the sounds of Shuichi moaning like such a slut and intense clapping as Ultii was balls deep in him. Trying to break in her new 'Pay-Pay' as much as she could~

"Do you like this? Like how Big Sis Ulti treats you~ Don't you wanna get treatment like this everyday! Hm? Hey, get your bearings back and answer meeeee! Don't go cock stupid noowww!!" Ulti cried out, but that was pretty much a foregone fate for those who submit to such a great futa cock. But, as his mind was succumbing to the pleasure, Shuichi did flash a cute smile that was to die for.

"Y-y-yesssssssh!! Y-yes, Big Sis Ulti~ I'd looooooooove iiit~" Giggling under her mask, Ulti slapped his ass and ramped up the intensity of her fucking. Not stopping until Shuichi had released a cummy mess onto the grass below and Ulti herself had filled his cake with enough cream to last him a life time~

[awkwardchick87]

but awks tellll meeeee…. if it was some other universe.. some other story… which universe would you pick with your vash 🤍 howd you two will fall in love… all the little obstacles hindering the path… tell me everythinggggg !!!

AHH Zen!! I think about this OFTEN!! All my selfships are canonverse because my brain can not imagine them outside of their own universe!! Alright, I did not mean to go off this hard. We'd meet while traveling. I have no idea why, but I love the idea of traveling with Wolfwood, Meryl and Roberto and later Milly. Their dynamics are so interesting to me (and I kin Wolfwood so hard) Getting to know everyone and having love bloom over a period of time is just so sweet to me. Vash is not the type to even want love, so he takes a while to come to terms with it. He doesn't feel like he deserves it. (more on this later. It'll have spoilers for the manga) Vash FIGHTS being in love. Refuses to admit it, where I fall hard and fast. Which is a little sad, yes, because having feelings for someone, even if you don't admit them right away, and they show no signs of returning them, that shit hurts. It would take a long time to get Vash to admit any feelings for you. Even if its obvious to everyone EXCEPT you. Once he admits he's in love, he would dote on you 24/7, think smothering! It can be overwhelming, and I need to tell him to give me space if I need it, but at the same time, his face is just so cute and kissable, I could never stay annoyed at him for long. He does eventually figure out how to be a little less overbearing. Even if its only a little. And do not get me wrong, I love being doted on and adored, but I also like my alone time. Spoilers for the manga under here.

I am very much a firm believer in everyone needs to spend time with themselves., which is probably one of Vash's biggest pet peeves. If he is alone, his mind is racing. He has so much past trauma that being alone brings him back through those horrors. If we're talking post Trimax Vash, he is in a better headspace, but he still STILL needs someone to reassure him that everything is over and its ok. He does not need to worry about his brother anymore. He can settle down and not be on the run anymore. Pre end of Trimax, is a whole other can of worms. Before or after being tortured is a difference. Not a major one, he is the type to feel like he deserved everything that happened to him. Getting him OUT of that headspace is the hard part. All in all, showing Vash that he deserves love and deserves to BE loved would be a big hurdle. He is so self sacrificing that he thinks he should be alone and not burden anyone with his existence until he's done what he is trying to do.

Wednesday Review

I was actually kind of excited for this because I think the original Addams Family is pretty creative as well as Values and focusing on Wednesday in modern times seems like a decent idea especially if Tim Burton is handling it. Time came and they said that this was going to be a series instead of a movie, ok, that's fine.

I watched a little bit of the first episode and it was rough, it felt like a Disney Channel version, whether it was intentional or the writing or the acting/casting choices, it all seemed to follow that borderline generic Hallmark vibe (from Wednesday's visions looking right up at the ceiling, Pugsley getting bullied, "Sheriff, you're going to want to see this." corny dialogue.) so I turned it off and just moved on...then it blew up. (Well, Jenna Ortega did anyway) but my dad watched it, my sister watched it and everybody she knew watched it and I was kind of left out of the loop. My dad said that it was good but in the old one, Wednesday was always known for her deadpan deliveries while in this one it felt more forced more often and I immediately got what he meant when I revisited it.

I wouldn't call it good but entertaining. Now one thing that bothers me is the lipstick, yes, I know, picky, but did someone else do it? Because it's frequently that I see someone where it goes past their lips, either over or under, am I the only one who noticed that? I can't say I've ever noticed it in a movie or show before but for some reason...There's a part where they're eating apple crisps but Gomez puts it to his mouth, makes a delightful face and puts his hand in the bowl to take some more but it's clear that he takes it out of his mouth and didn't bite at all, they just added a crunch sound effect in post.

People wait for their next line cue so when they say something that isn't an edgy joke or plot progression then it sticks out and makes me think "Character development?" but no, it's only there to tease something later on. A lot of times it'll be for a character that we're introduced to and then never see again until episodes later when that line becomes relevant. There are a lot of little moments like this but it wasn't because of amateurism and are too stupid to be budget reason.

I said Tim Burton, didn't I? Well, that's true...partly, he didn't write any of it, the writing credits vary by episode like any other show and he only directed 4 episodes (half) and he's not the "creator" either, they just slap his name on it as producer. No, Miles Millar and Alfred Gough are the creators. Who are they?

SUM-BODY SAAAAAAVVVVVEEEEE MEEEEE!! That's right, the creators of Smallville.

Is this more for a new gen or old one? I feel like anybody for anything will try to tell you that their version, their reboot, is going to make both fans and newcomers happy, there really shouldn't be a reason not to (though Rocketeer is arguable). This one is kind of torn because Wednesday is a little bit older and there are references to older material but it has the newer generations to back it up and take place in our modern age. I wouldn't really know who it's aimed at but I'm going to lean towards "newer"

I get having it revolve around a mystery and have Wednesday play the detective but I can't help but feel it'd be better suited to a Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew type reboot.

[heartandmindful]

final ending

i choose myself, accept i never knew you and you don't meet the requirements i need to feel safe in a relationship. i realize i'm embarrassing myself not because i should care about what others think but i should have more respect for myself. realize that you invading my personal space instead of saying hello or trying to initiate a conversation like a normal human being isn't a compliment, or you trying to spin back, because if you wanted to you would. accepting that if it's meant to be, it'll be but not by my force. relaxing and knowing that divine love will come to me one day wether it's you or not and if it's not you i should probably throw a party because you're nuts and i see inevitable stress in my future if i end up with you. i don't want toxicity anymore WHO DAFUQQQQ HAS TIME FOR THESE I'M YOUNG AND LIT

WDYM 17 BUMBAA YEARS??? COULDN'T BE ME I'M SORRY...

i am beautiful and worthy of love fuck everything else

FUCK THE WORLD I LOBE MEEEE

I LOBE MEEEEE

damn

removing you from the picture unless you make an effort <3

IT'S NOT WORTH ITTTTT GIRL

STAND UP YOU'VR GOT SHIT TO DO GET BUSYYYYY
