What is the Threedom running joke that has most permeated your life and thoughts, and is it "And you can do it"? Because that one crosses my mind at least a few times a week.

I don’t listen to podcasts on Spotify, so I usually miss out on end-of-year stats. But Pocketcasts has come up with the goods this year!

At the Crack Bang Boom, our biggest comics convention in Argentina, in the middle of the cosplay contest, Bender asked Zoidberg to marry him in front of +5000 people.

The crowd went insane.

And Zoidberg said yes.

kang haerin x reader

fluff

“yn! come cuddle with me!” haerin called. she chuckled to herself as she heard the pitter-patter of her girlfriend’s footsteps as she ran up the stairs.

“i’m here!” yn panted, clearly out of breath.

haerin stretched her arms out, signalling for yn to come to her, which yn gladly accepted, climbing onto the bed and laying on top of haerin, her head resting on haerin’s chest.

“i love you,” yn mumbled. haerin felt yn’s mouth curve into a smile, and she felt the corners of her own lips tilt upwards as well.

“i love you too,” haerin giggled, “you’re so cute.”

“you’re cuter,” yn pouted.

“hmm,” haerin hummed, as she played with yn’s hair. yn slipped her hand into haerin’s unoccupied hand and her smile grew wider as haerin interlaced their hands.

haerin kissed the top of yn’s head, and then laid there, content with the company of each other and the world.

after a few minutes had passed, haerin broke the silence.

“yn, do you want to go make dinner?” she asked, only to be met with yn’s even breathing.

“yn?” she repeated, getting the same response.

she must be exhausted, how cute, haerin thought.

she looked back down at their interlaced fingers.

i’ll let her sleep for a little while.

double update for my friend

halftime performance of the week:

crossing enemy lines -connor bedard-

summary: connor and y/n tell quinn about them, then decide to hard launch their relationship to the entire world

word count: 857

pairing: connor bedard x hughes!reader

notes: this is a tie-in fic for my connor bedard social media series on my @socialfakes account. it should be read BEFORE the 4th social media post if you want some context. if not, you may read it whenever you want to 😊

masterlist

y/n was visiting quinn when she got a facetime request from connor. quinn glanced at her phone when it rang but luckily, she had his contact name set to something that wouldn't make quinn question it.

"y/n, you've got an incoming call from...who the hell is CBB?"

"collection agency probably."

"but why are they requesting to facetime?"

"who the hell knows, quinn? i stopped questioning things that get done." she grabbed her phone from the couch and ventured into the guest room to answer it. when connor's smiling face appeared, y/n smiled.

"hey, babe. how's vancouver?"

"it's great. aside from the fact that quinn is suspicious of us and is probably out in the living room trying to figure out who the hell CBB is."

"who is CBB?" connor raised an eyebrow and looked at the camera.

"it's you, dumbass." y/n giggled. "have to keep you under a code name until we tell people about us."

"speaking of that, when do you think we should? we've been dating for 5 months and it's been such a hard secret to keep. i just want to share with the world just how much i love you."

"i love you too." y/n sighed. "i think we should tell quinn first. he's my older brother and he's also the most calm. he could help us figure out how to tell jack and luke without them going crazy. plus, don't tell anyone this, but quinn is also my favorite."

"you're right. and i know. he's like a god to you, isn't he?"

"admired him my whole life honestly." y/n couldn't help but grin at him. she loved how much he knew about her. it showed her that he was attentive. "you guys are playing vancouver next week, right?"

"yeah. 4 days actually." connor smiled.

"good. i'll still be here so we can tell quinn together and then it won't look suspicious when i leave with you."

"sounds like a perfect plan, babe." connor looked off camera for a second then smiled. "i gotta go to practice now but i'll call you later."

"alright. i'll let you know when quinn's not around."

"i love you."

"i love you too." y/n smiled and hung up the phone. she went to open her door but quinn beat her to it.

"i still don't know who CBB is but i heard you say you love whoever you were just talking to. who was it?"

"it was luke. he was calling to say he missed me."

"i call bull on that. i know you have a boyfriend and i just want to know who it is."

"you'll meet him in 4 days. we plan to tell you first, okay?"

"okay. i appreciate it." quinn went to turn back towards the living room but stopped himself. "am i really your favorite?"

-----

the next 4 days passed by quicker than anyone expected and soon, the blackhawks were in vancouver.

y/n texted connor and told him to stop by the apartment for dinner. she decided she was going to spend all day making quinn's favorite meal, hoping it would ease the tension.

when the doorbell rang, quinn hopped up and got to the door before y/n could stop him. he swung the door open and saw connor standing with a bottle of something and a bouquet of flowers.

quinn glanced between his sister and the young hockey star.

"you're dating connor?"

"um....yeah. please don't be mad. i know you really don't want me to be dating anyone but i'm 21 and i love him. nobody can stop me from dating him."

"relax, i'm not mad. i was actually hoping you'd find someone soon. really glad it's not someone who's way older than you." quinn looked at connor and smiled. "how long have you guys been together?"

"almost 6 months." y/n answered for connor, who stood at the door shyly. quinn invited him in and smiled.

"6 months and you've managed to hide it this long? i'm proud of you, bug."

"bug?" connor looked at y/n.

"it's short for ladybug. when i was 6, i was obsessed with ladybugs and quinn has never let me live it down since."

"oh. that's cute." connor smiled and followed the siblings to the dining room.

"i think it's embarrassing but he doesn't care."

"i prefer to think of it as a good thing. if a ladybug lands on you, it's supposed to be good luck & having you in my life makes me feel lucky."

"he's got a good point, love. you make me feel lucky too."

"i love you. both of you." y/n smiled. "nobody else is to know of the nickname though. okay?"

"okay." the boys smiled.

the rest of the visit went smoothly. quinn was incredibly accepting of the relationship his little sister was in. when they told luke and jack, they were accepting but luke felt a little hurt. he didn't like that y/n had kept a secret from him.

telling the rest of the world seemed so much easier now that everyone close to them knew.

Hey there! I've been trying to work on a logography recently (if you ever came across the Pan-Germanic runes thread on the cbb, it's in that vein) and I've really been struggling with coming up with the actual glyphs themselves. While there are other systematic problems to solve, I find tackling them more familiar and easier to approach than the task of coming up with individual glyph designs themselves (especially for abstract concepts that aren't as easily to represent pictorally). I have some academic background in Chinese, but I worry that this only serves to hamper me by making it easier for me to copycat their glyph origins. Do you have any recommendations for how to come up with original glyph designs? Is this a problem you've encountered in designing your own logograms? Any big tips for how to find inspiration?

Honestly, if I'm lost, I often go to Chinese to see what they do for abstract elements. I was completely lost on length in High Valyrian, for example, without being able to compare one thing to another—and especially with the whole "banana for scale" problem. The idea is so basic, though, I figured it would be a basic term in Chinese that would have its own glyph, and I was right! Turns out in Chinese the origin derives from hair. And that, of course, is brilliant, because human hair is something you can depict and has an absolute reference (i.e. at a certain point, all humans will agree that a certain length of hair is long).

At that point, though, I did my own drawing for a person with long hair, and used that as the source of the glyph in Valyrian. There's nothing wrong with using the same etymological source as long as you do your own work from there. It's a good thing to do when stuck.

As for other things, though, you go through the same process. It's easier to make images of concrete elements than abstract. When it comes to abstract concepts, think about what concrete elements in your world are most closely associated with those abstract concepts, then do glyphs based on those concrete things. You should also feel free to take combinations of elements and combine them into a single glyph (for example, maybe your glyph for "warm" is a combination of hot + cool, or hot + small). Always start with the concrete elements of your conlang's world. Also, the associations don't have to make perfect sense, so long as they make sense to your speakers. After all, the same thing happens with word etymologies.

Anyway, hope that helps! I also recommend following others who create logographies like my friend @yuk-tepat. He's really good, and you'll learn a lot by reading his stuff.

Ticks reptile Lingo cheatsheet

New to the herping world? See a lot of Acronyms being tossed around and have no idea what people are talking about? I get it! It can be a little overwhelming to learn all the Lingo at first, and I admit I use it too and don't think about how that can alienate newcomers. So here's a guide to some of the more commonly used Lingo in the reptile world! These aren't all the words you'll see, but these are likely the ones you're most likely to see commonly used in reptile spaces in general: WC - Wild caught, can be local or Imported CB - Captive Born, can be born from a pregnant WC Female or less commonly, egg harvested. CBB - Captive Bred Born, Animal was born in Captivity from a Captive pairing. CHE - Ceramic heat emitter, good for raising ambient temps, doesn't make a good basking lamp. Hologen - A type of heating bulb, considered the more ideal bulb used for basking. DHP - Deep Heat Projector, you'll see this term thrown around when people are discussing Wavelengths of bulbs usually. UVB - Ultraviolet (b), a type of ray emitted from the sun. A lot of lizards, such as bearded dragons for example, *require* UVB lights. Certain animals need UVB to remain healthy, and a lack of UVB can cause a large variation of irreversible health issues. MBD - Metabolic Bone Disease. Most common in animals like Bearded Dragons and Leopard geckos, also extremely prominent in many other lizard species. Usually caused by a lack of or improper UVB. BCI - Boa Constrictor Imperator. Most common species of Boa on the market, can be commonly found with a variation of different morphs. BCC - Boa Constrictor Constrictor, Absolute beasts of a Boa. It is extremely common to see BCIs called BCCs, these animals are not the same. BCL - Boa Constrictor Longicauda BCO - Argentine Boa. Argentine Boas look nothing like the other BCs on this list, you won't really see these guys being mixed up with the other listed Boas. GTP - Green Tree Python ETB - Emerald Tree Boa F/T - Frozen/Thawed Prey Freshkill - Different from F/T. Freshkill is usually purchased as live prey and killed or incapacitated directly before feeding. AWM - Asian Water Monitor SP - Usually a stand-in acronym for the word "Species". Local - In reference to the locality of an animal. For example, Leachianus Geckos(Often just called Leachies), have a few different Localities that grow to different sizes and can even have different color variations depending on said localities. QT- Quarantine. You'll see this usually in reference to people obtaining new animals, regardless if theyre CB/CBB/WC. But especially will see this word with Imports. A lot of Reptiles- Especially Snakes, can carry hidden diseases that can wipe out entire collections and breeding facilities, it is always advised to QT your animal for at minimum 2 weeks-1 month before introducing them into a collection. Some breeders or importers with Established animals may choose to QT for a longer period of time, this is normal. Established - WC Animal who's been in captivity for an extended period of time, usually upwards of a year. Established animals aren't exhibiting signs of crashing or failure to thrive, may actively be breeding, and are eating well. The majority of Established animals have been seen by a vet, or have been treated for parasites- always ask about treatment regardless if you're asking about an established animal.

I just saw your post about how different Naruto and Sakura's "chasing after Sasuke" is and 1 thing came to my mind. If Naruto wants to die with Sasuke if Sasuke still wants to destroy Konoha aka kill Sasuke for Konoha then what made him different from Kakashi and Sakura? People say that he understands Sasuke's pain (he doesn't as what he experienced is completely different from Sasuke's) but what's for? He just shows Sasuke some sympathy and that is, nothing more nothing less. So, is the reason he's better than them it's cuz he doesn't want Sasuke to be alone in the afterlife or couldn't live in a world without Sasuke? Or maybe it's cuz he gonna give Sasuke the most emotional death that he could ever dream of huh? Lol, that's so funny to think of as it does not help anything but Naruto's feelings (and Sasuke's too cuz even though he can't have the justice he deserves, at least he gonna die in his one and only friend's hand right?)

ah the same anon as before with the same rude and condescending tone. I considered answering this seriously but I don’t think there’s a point. u honestly think this ask is one big gotcha moment when all it shows is ur lack of reading comprehension i cbb.
