Circut City Black Friday (November 27, 2008)

[thenarrativefoil]

okay easily the biggest bullshit is that the gluten free baking supplies ive been buying are $2-4 cheaper at the stl mid-tier supermarket compared to the cheapest denver market

[fortunelowtier]

Everyone likes to write the "Charlie, Elizabeth, Evan and Michael post-security breach" stuff as them having wholesome slice of life fun, which don't get me wrong I love it, especially when they get to interact with Gregory or Sammy since its like 99% a possibility that he's the CEO now and is the last living Emily

but what i wanna see more of is the fact that these "kids" are all mentally in their 40s/50s but they also aren't really aware of anything pop culture related for the past 30 years because they were too busy being corpses/haunting animatronics

Like Michael is a queer icon and we stan, so he was 100% a Queen fan, but does he know Freddie Mercury is dead? Do Michael and Charlie randomly ask stuff like "So is Circut City still a thing?"? How would they react to modern gaming technology? How would they react to modern CGI?

That last one specifically is rlly funny to think about because Charlie, Elizabeth and Evan likely died before CGI took off in the late 80s/early 90s, so to them, they're all used to practical effects and some mild green screen work (Alien came out in 1979, Star Wars came out in 1977). Mike's probably seen Jurassic Park and MAYBE the Phantom Menace depending on when you think he died so hes a little more attuned to the concept of CG but sitting them both down and making them watch Avatar is probably like giving a Victorian child a baja blast

I feel like there's an untapped market to be had of the crew trying to catch up on the past 40 years of pop culture now that they have free time and just being BAFFLED

WIP WHENEVER, WHEREVER

(we are meant to be together shakira shakira)

@olath124 tagged me for this, thanks friend!

Still rather low on content or WIPs I can show but it's something

ART

Don't know if I would call it art actually but I am currently making myself some Discord emojis of Aon aka Knife Queen aka Blorbo Girl.

That's the first one I got done. Because smirking is very important 👆 will do 3 or 4 more I guess. Laughing, something sad, angery and what ever inspiration brings along the way.

VP

The Dogtown Noir pics where fun to do but I noticed real quick that I need a lot of focus to get some good shots. And I don't have that most of the time. I heard there is actually a city outside of Dogtown KEK maybe I will go there next and do some photos 💫

WRITING

Putting this last so no one is forced to read the wall of txt. I still have a lot of unfinished ramblings but nothing that would make sense to show. I started to write some small bits for my own amusement and positive vibes based upon a soft OTP promt list (or what ever it was called). It's only stupid conversations and I think it's nothing for AO3, so probably just throw it here whenever I finished one.

Write about your ship getting dressed up in fancy outfits together:

"Oh my god I hate this so much..."

Aon pulled on his black bolero jacket and looked at herself in the mirror next to the large closet in Kurt's apartment on the top floor of the Sapphire with an unimpressed expression.

"You don't like what I've chosen for you?" Kurt asked, still beeing busy in the bathroom.

"No... yes. I mean. No, I don't like all of this." She grimaced a little more and turned around to look at the elegant suit trousers and expensive shoes she would be wearing tonight.

"Fancy clothes, putting up with brainless snobs at glamorous parties. Pretending to care about what they do and who they are. I really don't know why you like that so much."

"You'll have fun, I'm sure of it." Kurt came back to the main room and took his leather harness, which was still lying on the bed, and put it around his shoulders. He chose a more elegant garment than usual for tonight aswell, as Alyona had demanded, but he wasn't going to abandon all of his military habits.

"I'll have fun at the bar. I know that for sure."

She was still tugging at the jacket, as if she was trying to minimize the revealing neckline of the top.

"And you had to pick something so provocative, didn't you? Well, at least it's not a glittery cocktail dress. You could have worn that yourself."

Kurt laughed heartily at the last comment, took a few steps over to her and fastened the last buttons on the collar of his black shirt.

"You look fantastic."

That didn't really convince her.

"Oh, shut the fuck up. I feel like I'm playing dress-up."

Kurt was now standing behind her, looking in the mirror with her, still smiling.

"Well, in a way, we do, don't we? If you want to get close to your prey, you have to wrap yourself in it´s fur."

Aon let out an amused snort. "You're such a poet Kurt, it's almost unbelievable," she replied sarcastically.

"Still, I'm glad you decided to come along. I don't think it will do you any harm to see something other than the workshop." He put his hands on her hips and leaned forward a little. At least he liked the sight of the two of them in the mirror.

"Hmmm, what I wouldn't give to spend all night fixing that Chimera-Junk gathering dust in your warehouse...", she replied with a playfully dreamy tone.

"You enjoyed the evening at the Totentanz. You can't deny that."

"You're seriously comparing your fancy-pants party to the thing at the Totentanz?"

"It was a party, you didn't want to go and you ended up enjoying it."

"Maybe because even the smallest circute in Maelstrom is a more interesting conversation partner than everyone you've invited today."

Kurt leaned a little closer to her.

"If you decide to stay here after all, I want you to come to every party. Not because I like to see you suffer, but because then I would finally have something to look forward to in the evening. Pleasant company and someone I can rely on."

"Don't get too excited. I might already have a plan to ruin everything."

"That doesn't matter. It would definitely still be a night to remember because you were with me."

Her face twisted into a grimace.

"Damn, you're such a suck-up. No wonder you've got all these snobs eating out of your hand."

"But the difference is that I mean my compliments to you seriously."

Kurt couldn't help but laugh again when he noticed Aon blushing and quickly turning away from the mirror so he wouldn't notice.

"Okay, let's get going. The sooner we get there, the sooner I can say I've tried long enough."

She hastily disengaged from his embrace and walked straight towards the door.

He followerd her right away.

"You stay until the end. I'll tell the bartender to keep you 'entertained'."

Think most of the ppl I would tag have already shown their awesome stuff lately so I will skip this time. See you next time!

how about rollo in the kalim harem? - Kalim Anon

Aaaah so we're adding Rollo to the ship party huh? Okay, I can work with this!

Rollo was added much MUCH later due to many conflicts that will not be named today

Rollo was ready to tear this sunshine lemon pie apart when they visited Nobel Bell Collage but Kalim's super sweet personality made him short circut

Him after he realizes he finds him attractive;

Kalim just found him amusing at first and Jamil and Riddle were like "He tried to kill us!"

Rollo asked him out after much debate on everything, originally planning if it goes well to try and steal Kalim for himself but then the date happens and it goes so well the two continued, and in order not to get Kalim upset and ruin his plan he accepted any offer of the others in the date

Things slowly morphed to him forgetting the plan and just going on dates normally

Floyd, Lilia, Ace, Ruggie, and Jamil do a lot to annoy him on these date to prove to Kalim he's a jerk and now their teasing is normal banter of affection

Rollo's not used to so much love he's dying-

He never traveled until the relationship happened so when Kalim invited everyone to the land of Scalding Sands he was so in awe and amazement of the place he didn't even complain of the heat

He also hasn't eaten as much as he has in years but can't dare deny food from Jamil, Floyd, Trey, and Ruggie now can he?

Kalim loves to steal his hat and run away in which Rollo chases back

The first time he smiled at his phone was when Kalim texted him a picture of him being silly cute and the school saw that and freaked out cuz he never smiles and they're like "what the fuck-"

Their dates when they're free is invites to the dorm for dinner and fun or if Kalim's visiting a stroll through the City of Flowers and maybe some light shopping

Kalim bought him a cat plus cause "I thought you'd like it" and you don't have proof but Rollo cuddles that damn plus every night

I looked up heights and apparently Kalim's 168 cm/5'6 and Rollo's 177 cm/5'8(???) so it's not a lot which is a shame for the image of Kalim on his toes to kiss Rollo's chin TwT

“I-I don’t think I can hold anymore-” — (( Vox @ Alastor because fuck it, imma be Mean™ to my tv boi UwU ))

@burning-fcols smut on main? #blame dragon smh

Alastor would never admit it, but this little arrangement vox and him had, the chance to fry the ꞩⱦᵾꝑīđ television's circuts until all the could show on his screen was error codes until inevitably shutting down, the chance to have all of Vox's attention on him and him alone-

It almost made these ruts worth bearing.

Not that he had a choice in the matter, Alastor forced to succumb to the most primal of instincts come the same time each year. It had been far worse in those handful of years when he'd first manifested, he would admit, the rush of desire so foriegn to the sinner he assumed it as nothing but bloodlust. He had become the cannibal he was now after coming to hell, Rosie simply too much of a dear to say no to.

They did call it 'the hunger' on earth, when nothing but the ӻłēꞩħ of your fellow man would be able to sate you, but that had been a faslehood he'd merely hoped to be true. Eventually, the feelings would fade after a week or so, the massacres he would go on around that time simply a way to keep him distracted, lest he lose himself entirely.

And then Vox just had to manifest when Alastor finally was getting things under control. Liar. Curse him falling for that doe-eyed confusion the first the tangle of wires learned that his more shark based attributes were more than simple show. If asked, he would say it was a way to ensure Vox stayed his, to further enamore his ꞩⱦⱥⱦīȼɏ little shadow to him. To make him feel special. In reality? He remembered what it had been like when he'd first gone into his rut, how scared he was of losing himself to it. Vox was...he was smart, but all too easy to mold (at least in Alastor's experience), and he would be damned AGAIN if he let anyone take away what was ĦĪꞨ.

That had been...Satan, a good handful of decades ago. Time didn't mean much to him anymore, Alastor only really knowing the year 'upstairs' whenever a new sinner would fall. He always asked out of pure curiosity, the deer all too often losing his sense of reality, with how time passed in Hell.

Time meant nothing, but Vox did.

Vox, who changed with the times, slowly but surely leaving Alastor in what he'd deemed a dusty old attic of antiquities. Did Alastor ħⱥⱦē modern technology because he saw it as what took the TV from him? Yes. Hardly, Vox could do as he wished, it wasn't as if they were bound in any way that mattered.

Unless one counted their heat cycles, which had stayed synced even after all this time, even in those seven years Alastor had been gone.

He'd sought Vox out by pure instinct, the familiar ƀᵾƶƶ of his frequency a siren's call from the far side of the city. Was his the same, he wondered, or had all the man's upgrades left them permanently out of tune?

The answer, as Al was oh so happy to learn, was that even now, Vox was still Ⱨł₴ ₮ØɎ.

And what was a toy for, if not to be played with? They had lost time to make up for, after all. So very many couplings lost to the wind, so many lost oppertunities to ɃꞦɆɆĐ as if it would give them what their instincts desired each year.

Alastor had always been....well, unsympathetic was perhaps the wrong word, but it was hard to muster up any worry for Vox's wellbeing when his fellow overlord could easily escape Alastor's grasp, no matter how đēēꝑłɏ his claws dug into pliable flesh.

"Is that so?" Despite the lack of a fliter to his voice (there was no need for that, not now, not with Vox), nothing but cruel mockery dripped from each syllable as Al draped his body across his partner's back, only just able to cover up the gasp that choked at his lungs when the movement jostled where his knot was still buried in Vox. "Have you grown ⱳēⱥҟ since I've been gone, old friend? Don't tell me I'm going to have to ƀɍēⱥҟ ɏꝋᵾ in again. Mold you to my liking and mine ⱥłꝋꞥē."

So so so curious about OSO Novel in your remix :0 Especially the under the cut art where she says "the statement is false" and then freaks the hell out, that looked so cool and I'm also really concerned for her ksdfjfd Love your art style btw!! So freakin cool

Does anything change with Crayon Box and how the show is run or is it mostly just the character dynamics themselves? :0

Also apologies if I got anything wrong, it's been ages since I've seen OSO

The one freaking out in this picture is actually Server! H1m being a cyborg of sorts those kinds of portal paradoxes can short h1s circuts hehe

Oso Novel is a bit different in this take by virtue of that she can see further into the future, and is bad at hiding this by interrupting people and seemingly predicting what people want/say/do, but as the game goes on he finds himself breaking away from the set path her pages have and freaks out because of it, like should i stray or grasp for my own freedom? were these pages a lie? will there be catastrophe if im free?

As for the show itself nothing really changes other than a change of scenery now and again, with some contests taking place in the surrounding city and beyond! the dome can get boring sometimes lmao. CB is ramped up a bit and is just a cheery and strong joke-cracking butch mom that calls you kiddo and takes you to soccer practice! the crayons also have more individuality this time and would be given more to do

I'm going to the bookstore today and I wanted to know if you have any good recs of autistic in sci-fi or fantasy? Especially ownvoices? I feel like most of the autistic rep I know of is in contemporary stuff, which while great, I would love to see autistic characters being awesome in other worlds / situations.

Thank you very much!! ~Morri (@memento-morri-writes)

ok so:

non-own voices: the gilded wolves! it's pretty good i think. it's the only one on the list here i've read, which is why it's the only non-ownvoices non-recced-by-another-autistic (i dont rec non-ownvoices books with autistic characters till ive read them, for obvious reasons, unless other autistics have).

but also i found a list of what im pretty sure are ownvoices ones or otherwise solid rep, though with the caveat this is just through research and i haven't read them yet:

hoshi and the red city circut (author is autistic)

the outside (author is autistic)

failure to communicate (almost certain the author is autistic?)

on the edge of gone (not sure if ownvoices, but on a list of recs that was made by an autistic person)

an unkindness of ghosts (same situation as on the edge of gone)

unfortunately none of these are really on the fantasy side of things specifically, except the gilded wolves, but they are all sci fi !

Amamlong x Frunp chapter 2:

Phantom pain

After the doctors apointment, neither of them could imagine what would happen next. The Both of them were sleeping late, for it was sunday, until alarms started going on in the branp tower. Brunkp jumped up, alarmed at the alarming amount of alarms, then he saw it. 20 Amazon delivery Zeppelins, armed to the teeth with laser guided, gyroscipically ballanced, GPS guided missiles, all aimed at the tower. As he saw that, trumps assistant walked in with a phone on speaker. "S-sir?" The 10$/h worker Said nervously. Anlon Got up in that moment and yelled into the phone filled with anger "YOU! I have known the peace wouldnt Work out! But this fast? What have you to say for yourself?", a vicious, mocking laugh boomed from the phone "I am simply grabbing my chance, mr muck. It is time for Amazon to turn your operation amazOFF! Unless! You hand over the city and i let you live!" Jeogf benzos Said, oozing with confidence, but anonlon laughed "Well it seems it Will be me who amazOFFs your little coup attempt, for have you forgot? I own Twitter, and i have a THOUSAND- NO, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS SOLDIERS ON MY SIDE, so once ask you, how can your children of the sky go against my children of the basements?" There was silence for a moment "You wouldnt da-" naylon interupted "Watch me" and with one hand sign to the employee, ordered the twitter barague protocol, making false orders to the Zeppelins, but not before one managed to launch one laser guided, gyroscipically ballanced, GPS guided missile at the tower before Being Short circuted and crashing into the Lower musktopia. It all happened fast, way too fast, Frunp quickly grabbed mosk and went into the panic room, yet unable to Seal the door before the building Got hit. The tower crumbled at the top before the Shockwave shook the foundations and it all started crumbling down, the panic room Being burried under under debree and waiting for rescue

Circut City Black Friday (November 23, 2007)

[amberjazmyn]

showing up

𝓲𝓶𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓮 - showing up 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 - ballet dancer, big brother x misha, actor brother shows up for little sister's final ever senior ballet showcase 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓬𝓻𝓲𝓹𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 - maisie collins is a well-accomplished ballet dancer for the american ballet theatre in new york city and is about to dance in her final showcase. unfortunately, her parents weren't able to get to nyc in time from boston, massachusetts for the performance which meant that sadly, maisie had little hope her older brother misha, who happened to be a famous actor, would be able to show up as well. however, maisie gets the biggest surprise of her life when she sees a few familiar faces in the audience. 

𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻'𝓼 𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓮 - i had this idea randomly but originally it was going to be of a father showing up to his daughter's dance recital after so many broken promises. however, i changed it for misha and have it as him showing up for his sister in replacement of their parents not being able to show up. and because of the fact this is written about a ballet dance, of course, it'll be written in lowercase so it fits the aesthetic lol.  

masterlist

- - - maisie collins was pretty much close to shitting herself. she was a ballerina with the american ballet theatre in new york city and was moments from performing in her final summer showcase with the institution before leaving for college in hawaii. she had been with the american ballet theatre since she was eight and now she was twenty, about to leave to study in hawaii, yet another state away from her family who live back in boston. the american ballet theatre was all maisie knew, in the same way, that acting was the only thing that her older brother misha collins knew. and that was another thing, part of maisie's heart was breaking because her parents hadn't been able to fly over to new york to watch their daughter's final showcase, meaning that her other siblings, two sisters and another older brother, hadn't been able to either. this also meant that, because misha was currently on the convention circut for supernatural, it was unlikely that misha would be able to fly into new york in time to see his sister's final showcase. this would be the first ever that maisie's entire family would be unavailable to watch their daughter and sister perform in a showcase since they had been to every single one until this last one. and, whilst it did break maisie's heart, she know of some dancers in her company, especially the male ballet dances, that had families or parents who had never seen any of their children perform in the showcases. so, in that aspect, maisie was lucky that it was only just this final showcase of hers that her family was missing out on. because, in all honesty, the showcase, like always, was being filmed and she could have her family watch it later. so, in all honesty, maisie didn't feel too upset over the fact that her family wasn't able to see her final showcase, she just felt sad for those same dancers that once again had the belief that their families would change their minds and decide for once that they'd come to see their child perform. but she knew in the back of her mind, as did those dancers, that their families weren't ever going to change their minds. 

｡⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆｡

maisie stood in her ballet costume for what was going to be her final ever dance in her final ever showcase with the american ballet theatre moments before she was to walk to stage. and it really messed with her mind that she was going to be finishing her time at the school to then leave for college in hawaii to then return or maybe find a dance school in hawaii for the couple of years that she's there and then return back to the american ballet theatre school after that. i mean, with the money she had, that was absolutely doable for maisie but, as she really thought about it, was dance something she seriously wanted to do for the rest of her life? well, is ballet what she wants to be doing for the rest of her life as for as long as she could remember, she'd always wanted to be a ballroom dancer. so, maybe it was time for her to leave ballet entirely and find a ballroom dancing company and finally make her dream come true of becoming a ballroom dancer. i mean, it would hurt less wearing la duca's then it would wearing pointe shoes and dancing on the tips of her toes. 

maisie then started some last-minute stretches so her body was warmed up for the variation she was about to do with her male partner, nicholas. looking at him from her backstage wing and across the stage to his wing, they started to make funny faces at each other. purely, just to pass time as waiting in the wings could be for as short as a couple of minutes to as long as twenty to thirty minutes at a showcase because things can run late or early. it was really unpredictable so what else could the ballerinas do to past the time but make silly faces at each other and make each other laugh. especially when maisie and only two other ballerinas were moving on from the company, there was also a wave of the rest of the company wanting to make sure the ballerinas that were leaving were happy and not feeling too upset over the fact that this is their final showcase. 

then, out of nowhere, one of her ballet friends came up behind her, wrapping her arms around maisie. violet, the girl who was behind maisie, rested her head on maisie's shoulder and then started whispering to her. 

"...i'm so sad that after tonight's showcase, you're leaving us!" violet whispered sadly as maisie smiled 

"i know violet, i'm sorry but, it's time for me to move on! as much as i've loved being a ballerina, i don't think i could do it forever. i'm honestly surprised that i didn't leave for college earlier," maisie sighed as violet smiled as she nodded her head 

"and i can't be mad at you for that. i'm glad you are aware that you can't be a ballerina forever and you're honouring that. whereas, if i tried to do that, i think my whole family, not just my parents, would disown me because i was literally born into ballet like. i swear to god, i came out of my mother's womb with a fucking tutu and pointe shoes," violet sighed as maisie had to try hard to not burst out loudly into laughter even though she knew her family weren't joking 

like, she felt bad at how much her family forced violet to be a ballerina because all of the women in violet's family... all of the women were ballerinas and if they did try to not continue the legacy, the girl would seriously be disowened and shunned as though they were an awful person. 

"wait, you're actually serious?" maisie whispered as violet giggled and shook her head 

"no, i'm only joking, cause i spoke to my mom and told her i'm also seriously thinking about leaving abt as well. and like you, i can't be a ballerina forever and she shockingly agreed and said she knew this was the conversation we were going to have. and then she started apologising that she forced me into ballet in the same way she was forced into it by her mom and for continuing the tradition instead of asking me if that is what i really wanted. so, i thought that was sweet of mom for respecting that whilst i have been a ballerina for basically my whole life, that i can't continue doing it forever and there has to be a time that i retire," violet smiled as maisie smiled for her best friend as well 

"oh my gosh, i was going to say! if she disowned you, i'm sure my parents and family would love to adopt you!" maisie giggled as did violet as violet then quickly had to leave since maisie's partner was signaling to them that their variation was about to start 

｡⋆୨୧˚ ˚୨୧⋆｡

as the music for maisie and her partner, nicholas, started to play, they made their entrance onto the stage and got into their places ready for the variation. the variation was a colourful one so maisie was wearing a very vibrant and colourful tutu since all her other variations were very mellow and less colourful. 

as she and nicholas danced together, they smiled when they had to, they kept a straight face when they had to. and then, as nicholas started to turn maisie so she could then be led into a arabesque. and, as he did that, this was the first time that maisie could actually look out into the audience and, when she did, she nearly had a heart attack. right in the middle of the metropolitan opera house was maise's older brother misha and his supernatural cast mates, jared padalecki and jensen ackles with their wives and children. but then, as she looked further down the row of seats, she saw more of her brother's supernatural cast mates like rob benedict and ruth connell, alexander calvert, richard speight jr as well as jeffrey dean morgan and his wife. and as soon as maisie saw them there, watching her dance at her last ever showcase, she couldn't help the huge smile that spread across her face. 

but, this confused nicholas so, he whispered, "...you okay?" it was a shock that no one in the audience ever took notice when the ballerinas would talk to one another during a performance

because, guess what, it does actually happen since the dancers aren't wired up with microphones so, it's never audible what the ballerinas are talking about. 

"yeah...nicky, misha's here and so are some of this costars from supernatural! i was told that none of my family were able to make it in time!" maisie whispered back as nicholas then smiled for his partner as he remembered how upset she was when she got all the calls and messages saying they weren't able to make it 

"well, misha will always find a way to see his baby sister every single time!" nicholas whispered back as maisie smiled and gave him a look since she couldn't exactly nod her head 

"he really does," maisie whispered back before they ended their conversation and continued their variation in silence again 

then their variation became dramatic as their music started to swell and become more intense itself and the audience were on the edge of their seats as they watched what was happening. the music started to crescendo which meant nicholas had to lead maisie through a dozen turns before he'd have to let her go as she continued the turns on her own. 

the crowd sat in pure silence and most likely holding their breath as nicholas began to lead maisie in the turn sequence before not even three turns into the sequence, he lets her go as maisie begins to quicken the paces of the turns. since these dozen or so turns were the beginning of the final act of the variation, nicholas exited the stage but remained in the wings so he could then reenter and bow with maisie at the end of the dance since she goes into the ending pose on her own. 

maisie continued to turn for four more counts of the song before it began it's coda and ended entirely. as maisie turned and then lowered herself into her ending pose on the floor, the audience was silent for an entire two minutes because of how shocked they were. maisie could hear herself breathe as she waited for the applause so she could stand back up and invite nicholas back on stage to bow and truly finish the variation off together. and it was in that moment that maisie thought that that the audience finally started applauding. but, not only that, they gave maisie and nicholas a standing ovation as maisie stood up and lifted her head, she smiled as she made eye contact with misha. it was clear he and the rest of the audience were blown away as maisie held her hand out for nicholas as he tip toed back onto the stage. 

as they bowed, violet and the leader of the company, miss raine, then walked onto stage to present a flower bouquet to maisie since she was one of three ballerinas leaving and they were all being presented with bouquets before all being farewelled at the end of the showcase. which, was now since maisie and nicholas' variation was the final one of the showcase. so alongside violet and miss raine, the other two ballerinas, two other lovely women ballerinas had joined them on stage as nicholas had exited the stage back to the wings. 

"...ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for tonight and being here for our final showcase at the american ballet theatre for 2019. however, just before we leave, we have three beautiful ballerinas that are leaving us at the end of this showcase! and, to pay tribute to them, i'd like to introduce you all to them and say a few words because all three of these young ladies are beautiful ballerinas and it's a loss to us at abt that we're losing them..." miss raine announced as the audience cheered and applauded before quietening down so miss raine could continue 

"...so, to the very far left, we have arabella la fontaine who is one of our departing ballerinas. she is our most senior ballerina at twenty-six since most of our ballerinas at this company will retire when they are twenty-four/twenty-five and move on to more prestigious ballet companies. so, arabella has been with our company since she was maybe twelve years old so, she's been with us for very many years and it's been an absolute joy and honour to work with her so it makes me even more proud to see her leave and spread her wings out further. but, don't worry, arabella hasn't left abt completely because whilst she's stopped dancing as a ballerina with the company, that doesn't mean she's stopped entirely. and the reason is, for those wondering, arabella is actually pregnant with her first baby and is about to go on maternity leave and when she returns, she'll be returning as one of our dance teachers that will be teaching our junior dance program. thank you so much for you commitment to abt, arabella, we love and appreciate you so much! so, arabella la fontaine, everybody!" miss raine speaks as everyone applauds for arabella, including maisie as everyone cheered at the mention that she was pregnant with her first baby and that being the reason why she was retiring 

"next to arabella, we have her sister anastasia la fontaine who is another one of our departing ballerinas. she is our second eldest ballerina at twenty-four and unlike her sister, arabella, anastasia is not pregnant *giggles* but she is retiring and does not plan to return to abt as a teacher. but, she is leaving to spend more time with her family since she does have step-children with her lovely partner that are still young and need to have their step-mom taking care of them. like her sister, anastasia is a beautiful ballerina and it is sad that she's leaving but, i'm sure it won't be too long until one of her step-kids is brought into the studios to take some dance lessons with aunty arabella *giggles*. thank you so much, anastasia, for your continious commitment to abt since you've also been with us since you were eleven or twelve. anastasia la fontaine, everybody!" miss raine holds her hand out as anastasia curtseys with her flower boquet in her hands as she smiles before stepping back in line 

and now, it suddenly became real for maisie that she was actually leaving and she was the youngest in the entire company that wasn't the children's division of the abt school. miss raine then became teary-eyed since everyone knew how much miss raine adored maisie and knew how devastated she was when maisie told her that she would be leaving alongside arabella and anastasia. 

"next to anastasia, is our final ballerina that is leaving us. and this ballerina is a very special ballerina and everyone at abt absolutely adores her, she's a very special little lady to us. her name is maisie collins and she is our youngest ever ballerina in this specific senior company of abt and our youngest ever prima ballerina. she is just twenty-years-old and she has been with us since she was eight-years-old which meant that for the years she was underage, she actually lived with anastasia and her partner until she was about sixteen and able to buy her first apartment on her own that she moved into with her dance partner, nicholas and violet. everyone in the company knows i have a very large soft spot for maisie and i'm absolutely devastated that maisie's leaving but i can only be proud of her because of how fantastic she is as a ballerina but as a dancer overall. she is not just a ballerina, her biggest dream is to become a ballroom dancer so, whilst she is leaving us to go to college in hawaii, i have no doubt that she'll learn ballroom in hawaii and then return back to either new york or her hometown, boston, and become a very famous, well-known ballroom dancer. so, maisie, you know we all love you here at abt, whilst we know it's most likely never going to happen, please do think about coming back to visit us or even teach an intensive or two. we all miss you already and we are so glad you have been a ballerina with us for so many years. maisie collins, everybody!" miss raine's voice cracks at points as maisie tip toes forward and curtseys with her flower bouquet in hand before stepping back as miss raine pulls her in for a hug that eventually arabella, anastasia and violet join 

the audience is loud and appreciative of the show they saw as well as giving love to the three ballerinas who were leaving. then, the curtains decsended from the ceiling to the floor and the rest of the senior company of american ballet theatre stormed the stage to farewell their three departing ballerinas. then, the families of arabella, anastasia and maisie were welcomed to the stage as well. and, it was in this moment that maisie's emotions got the better of her, the moment where she saw her older brother misha and her niece and nephew, maison and west. 

"...mish!" maisie's voice faltered as she tip toed over to her brother, still in her ballerina costume and makeup as misha opened his arms wide whilst maison and west waited excitedly but patiently at the sides of their daddy 

"hey honey, you did amazing!" misha whispered as he squeezed his little sister in his arms as the ballerinas around the brother and sister just watched or minded their own business and attempted to find their own families from behind the curtain 

"i thought you couldn't make it tonight!" maisie whimpered as she giggled, looking down to see maison begging silently to be picked up (and because she couldn't resist playing with aunty maisie's bright blue sparkly tutu)

breaking out of the hug so maisie could pick up maison comfortably, misha smiled his cheeky grin, "yeah, that was just a little white lie to confuse and convince you into thinking i wasn't here in nyc," misha smirked as maisie shook her head, she should know her brother by now 

"is it a supernatural convention this week? that why the rest of the cast is here too?" maisie asked as she lovingly looked at her niece as she played with the skirt of the tutu 

"yeah, it's running through the entire week but, today we had a day off because i made it be a day off cause i could never ever miss my baby sister's showcase, let alone her final one, with her ballet company!" misha smiled as maisie shook her head as she then saw the rest of the supernatural cast join them on stage 

after many hugs and kisses and tears and kids running everywhere, it was eventually home time and maisie allowed everyone to come over to her house (yes, house, she now has a house in nyc, not an apartment). only because it was easier and better than all of them convening in the hotel that they were staying at for the supernatural convention. it was after a shower and changing out of her costume and washing off her makeup that maisie decided to post about her final ballet showcase since she knew that if she left it any later, it would make her more upset.

maisiecollins thirteen years american ballet theatre, what a time it's been 🩰. cannot believe i won't be a ballerina with you guys anymore but it is time i hang up my pointe shoes and tutus. it was an absolute dream to dance with you guys and now that this dream is complete, it's time i complete my other dreams which include college at hawaii and becoming a ballroom dancer. all of these photos have been from my final couple weeks being an american ballet theatre ballerina and there's a whole lot more from just tonight so it's probably going to be posted by misha so, look out for those photos or he may just post one! now, it's come to the time where i need to thank my fellow ballerinas! so, arabella and anastasia, the two lovely ballerinas that are departing abt alongside me, it was a pleasure to dance alongside you two since you guys are forces of nature in this profession and it's insane how talented y'all are. i love you both dearly, especially since anastasia actually was my guardian for the first eight years of my time as an abt ballerina and i cannot thank you enough for doing that since my parents weren't able to leave boston to just buy a house in nyc to take care of me whilst i danced there. to my various ballet partners but most especially my most recent one, nicholas, i absolutely adore you my darling! you too are a force of nature and i cannot wait to see you continue to thrive and blossom as an abt ballerina since i know you've got at least another two maybe three years left in you. but, in saying that, if you do leave abt before then, come to hawaii and become my ballroom dance partner so we can continue to dance together since i absolutely adore dancing with you, you make me feel so safe and comfortable and you just know exactly how to be a leader and i love you forever and ever. violet, my darling beautiful lovely cinnamon doughnut, yes, you're older than me by literally three months but that doesn't mean i can't be a mother to you. whilst i'm sad i've left you this early, i cannot wait to be in that audience and hand you your bouquet of flowers after your final performance! you have made me laugh, cry, go most likely clincally insane, and made me the happiest girl in the entire world because of our friendship. we met when we were eight and i knew straight away that you were going to be my person and that still hasn't changed all these years later. and, of course, i have to thank our wonderful headmistress of abt, miss raine who has been the most wonderful, lovely, kind, loving headmistress in the world of ballet schools. i honestly don't think i've met a kinder headmistress than miss raine. everyone i've mentioned and those i haven't, y'all are the lights of my life and i love you all and wish to all dance with you again in the future but, right now, it's time to say goodbye. also, i just want to give the biggest thank you and love to my older brother misha and the rest of the cast of supernatural who surprised me because i had no idea that they were even in nyc until i saw them during me and nicholas' variation which was the final variation of the evening so, how i didn't realise until the literal final variation beats me but, i cannot thank my family enough for how supportive they've been in allowing me to literally move across states when i wasn't even old enough to be doing it at the age i was and for allowing me to pursue my dreams, i love and appreciate you so much 🤍

Die Herzspielerin - excerpt

The woman had no name. The woman who stalked the restless city nights.

She was as a martyr to them then, among them yet and still not of them. One even mistook her for a celebrity, and she did not disabuse him of this notion, taking to signing extended notebooks and magazines and paper scraps.

She walked on. She bought pressed charcoal and chew and soda to settle her stomach and spit into the bottle later. She bought gum and heels and a new pair of jeans and dyed her hair grey again. She bought a tank of gas for the bike and white riding gloves and a torta from a rundown old Cuban woman, with eyes like piercing white stars whose gaze she avoided.

Tank filled, the woman rode on. She rode through the city in a winding circut and then out the country's western perimeter, through first mountains and then decimated pine forest and then long agonizing stretches of desert, where the sun stretches and slices itself for miles across a wide razorblade of the horizon, bleeding its red into the sands, the beasts, the people.

She thought often of the mother she left behind. In her dreams, which came only after long battles of fitful restlessness, her mother chased her through shooting galleries over broken needles and even more broken girls.

She rode on, and the woman did not stop for a very long time until hunger, or disease, or some sure beast took her at long last from this world.

About Me (IC)

Hi I'm Providence! I'm a trainer from Sinnoh, specifically from Hearthome. I do a lot of battling and contests and while i tried the gym circut, i couldnt get past the elite four so i came back home to focus on contests and battling with trainers who pass through the city.

My battle roster is;

Jacob, a small shiny eevee and my ace mon. Love him to death. Vicious little bugger though.

Castor, my shiny gardevoir. Hes very shy but friendly.

Nibbles, my garchomp. She has no thoughts up there and i swear she thinks shes still a gibble some days.

Isla, my Sylveon, and one of Jacobs littermates. She helps with my anxiety a lot.

Shriek, my noivern. He was gifted to me by a friend as a noibat. Hes still so cuddly!

And my two contest mons:

Vaporwave, a chimera vaporeon. Hes got both shiny and non shiny, coloration and pokecenter said hes a chimera. Hes Jacobs and Islas other littermate

Sketti, a shiny Dratini. Hes started off very skittish but hes gotten better. Currently hes in training and has yet to do more then practice shows.

About Me (ooc)

A pokemon irl side blog i wanted to run, based off my in game preferences. Yes i know shinies are contentious, but i base these off the mons i work hard to get in every game i can. So please dont start anything about my shinies.

Ill be posting a mix of pokemon go and my own art for the blog plus adventures i have in the games.

The image of being taken at the bar was enough to short circut his brain, just being fucked in the middle of the shift for everyone to witness. Of course it would never actually happen, they'd both be chucked out or arrested - but there were definitely bars or places in the city where such an act might be permitted. But it was the collar comment that truly stole Peter's attention and sanity. A noise of surprise and shocked pleasure at that image, being collared like some pet with Sean's name on it like he was branded, tugged around on a leash was such a depraved, wrong and yet wanted image.

"Y-You collar boys?" Peter found himself asking, the dirty image of guys being collared and tugged around by Sean. Wondering how many times he'd done that to men before, he must of done it if the idea came so easily. How many beautiful men had the privelege of being leashed by Sean? Not that Peter could just focus on that when he found himself pinned to the bed, clothes all but ripped off and suddenly dealing with rough fingers slicked and shoved into his tight hole as he was finger fucked. Squirming on the bed in respnse, whimpering and having to see the sight of Sean's impressive, thick cock on full display as well.

As soon as Peter began to kiss his skin, Sean reached up, letting his fingers thread through Peter's hair. "Oh you're going to remember that you belong to me and if I have to fuck you with you bent over a table at the bar for everybody to see? Then I will. Anybody touches you, I'll break every single one of their fingers off and shove them down their throat for touching what's mine. Maybe I'll put a collar on you with my name on it so they can see I've spoken for you already. Would you like that, baby?"

Sean knew the kind of images he was conjuring as he used his powerful build to push Peter down onto his bed, stripping the boy efficiently of his clothes. Peter was smaller than him in both height and stature and Sean liked the contrast of that somehow. He shed his jeans and boxers, reaching into a beside table to take out some lube before he used that and his finger to start stretching Peter open, steady and relentless.

i found a circut city ad from 1998 in my dad’s studio and it’s so cool! :D
