Drift Away Desert Duo

And still it takes you ages to see that no ones there, see that no ones there, everyones go on without you

something something desert duo sand imagery.

when sand it’s together its compact, it’s concrete, it can hold anything that comes above it. and it’s impossible to tell it apart. it’s part of an everything that makes the sand a single movement and entity.

when it’s alone its scarce, you can barely see it, but it’s still recognizable. yeah it can go anywhere, be grouped with other stuff, and maybe you can miss it, but it will always call for where it belongs, to its kin. it always comes back to itself.

and when its carefully handled, worked on, it can become something more, it can become a way through. a glass. a middle ground. a path. a bond. an opportunity. bc the sand is always meant to stick together and it will always gravitate back to each other

Raining cards

Summery:

When mumbo isn't one for preforming, but loves feel of watching one. He decides to spend his years watching a particular magician.

no trigger warnings!!

Not proof read or edited!!

(This is a fic for @redscapeweek day 2, magic tricks!!)

Mumbo learned early on that he isn't one for preforming acts, but gods does he love to watch them. The scared man on stage seeming to do some sort of tap dance as the lights come on, shinning in an almost star shape. And mumbo was mesmerized.

He watched as the man he had come to spend hundreds of dollar just to watch over the years tilted up his too tall top hat with a grin. The grey and white cat named jellie standing on his shoulders, looking around in fascination. Scar leaned forward on his cane, looking at the crowd with a large smirk.

"Hello!! And welcome to the goodtimes with scar show!! I'm your host, scar himself!! Kick back, relax, and enjoy some magic!!" The man called out as if he was on a game show, before twirling his wrist, a deck of cards suddenly in his hands. Mumbo didn't have a moment to think before the cards were in the air, and raining down. 

Mumbo let out an amazed laugh as scars once formal suit, changed before his very eyes into a long bright green, fitted coat, undone to show a silly, poofy dress shirt from a few centuries ago. No matter how many times he watched the start of the show, it never got less amazing.

At some point, after the cards had all fallen, a king of diamonds had made its way to Mumbo. The card had been signed on the front, and mumbo waisted just a second tracing the gold checked pattern on the back, before looking at scars signature deck, the king was himself, in all his glory, the queen was always jellie, the jack a pair of tap shoes. And the ace? A cane. Mumbo felt his face heat up as scar put on a rather loud tap dance performance to some song mumbo heard a million and one time. His feet moving faster then mumbo had the time to notice, moving the cards everywhere as he did so.  Some entering the air again.

It always amazed him, how scar moved, in an almost cartoon like sense, body bending in odd ways. If scar wasn't a magician mumbo could confidently say he'd be a damn good contortionist, or a dancer, or a lot of things really.

every time mumbo watched he swore he felt his heart race. When scar would laugh, and suddenly mumbo could see flames come out of scars mouth, he swore he could almost feel the heat.

He didn't know how the man did it really.

He didn't think he cared at the end of the show really

Not when mumbo would wait at the doorway, long after the show ended only for a tired scar to wander out, jellie in her carrier, yawning, and mumbling as he leaned onto mumbo

"I swear it gets later everytime.." he mumbles with a chuckle, cane practically stapping into the ground

"It's what...1am..? That's not too bad!! Last time we left at like..2, 3am?"

He chuckled a yawn of his own riding as they wander over to scars car. Jellie meowing loudly.

Mumbo doesn't think he cares at the end of the show, on how scar does it. He gets too much of a thrill by watching

Additional notes:

I decided, last night, at 2am, I wanted to write this for today, I have a post scheduled for day 4 already, so I wasn't planning on writing again for this event. Cuz deser duo week is close, and I have even more things I'm wanting to write, and ita just, yeah, messy messy messy. But, suddenly I got inspired to write again for this day. And go for the curses parts of this prompt, but, don't know when it'll be up cjlhkdkhddku, today, tomorrow, 3 weeks from now who knows

[sylvs0l]

I also. Want to share ages because some people look older than they actually are / look younger than they are

Scars 20. He says he's 18 cause he's not sure how old he is exactly. It's a rough guess (he hasn't needed to keep track of time + 18 is an adult. He knows that much, he thinks they'll treat him like an adult if he says he is one)

Grian is only 24, this man is in university (the Watchers university, that is! C:<) uhm. Considering doing something that practically No One knows about with Grian lore to be his pre evo stuff for silly because I wanna make him a rich kid who's a menace in every way. (<- Joeyish's video DELICIOUS HUMAN MEAT - Cannibal Murder. I'm so normal about it and the fact that it features three guys I grew up w (gizzy gazza, grian, and taurtis/joeyish))

Jimmy is 21! Joel probably convinced him to drink on X Life once he was of-age. Never Again (<- low tolerance because I Have That Too)

Martyn is 23! He definitely drank in the property police station before and only stopped because netty walked in and caught him and took away the bottle. Netty banned Martyn from drinking w/o her supervision I think. (Still not over the fact that Martyn and Stampy are in laws.)

Cleo. No one knows how old they are. (Bdubs does but he won't spill.)

Bdubs is only 19! Cleo practically adopted him once she learned he was a child (she thought he was in his late 20s - early 30s because he doesn't take care of himself.)

These are just the guys I'm gonna try to focus on for a bit when I make the ask box, Scar because it's a Scar centric au, Grian bcs deser duo and Watxhers. Martyn and Jimmy cause Evo -> Watchers -> Listeners and Cleo because Zombie -> Scar. She adopted bdubs and he's the one who tried to get Scar to calm down around her actually (he's the only reason they became family in limited life.)

OOOO THANK YOU !! i was trying to figure out all of the ages in my head- (i'm going to have to watch that joeyish video oml ???) these all make so much sense though!!! ( and poor scar AGAIN omg :'O )

There's Only One Can of Tango!

Haikyu!! fanfic

Desperate times call for deserate measures. And this is definately a desperate time! Only one can of tango after practice to share between two thirsting teens… Will Bros just remain bros? Or will this life-changing experience lead to new relationships?

Daichi had left the two 'bros' to clean and lock up by themselves. An awful idea really but you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If Tanaka had volenteered to lock up then Tanaka can, and Daichi can get some well-deserved sleep and ignore whatever plan him and Noya were no doubt putting in action at this very moment. The truth that Daichi would never know is that Tanaka only asked to lock up so he could be a super-duper, awe-inspiring senpai to the braindead-to-all-but-volleyball, first year, wonder duo. It might have worked if Daichi didn't also dump all the cleaning on them and took the rest of the team for meat buns!

So exhausted from practice and lacking the sustinance of meat buns the boys lunged into Noya's bag to eat grab a can of the energizing soft drink Tango. Refreshing. Or it would have been if Tanaka hadn't challeneged Noya to a drinking match. Noya won - on account of Tanaka spilling it down his shirt.

"Ughhh, Bro! Now my shirt is all sticky!" Tanaka groaned as he swiftly removed his shirt and slammed it to the floor. "Bro! Have you been working out more? There's gotta be more muscles than last time I saw!" Noya yelled. The last time Noya saw Tanaka with his shirt removed was, in fact, earlier that day; Tanaka's spike had hit the ceiling and was certainly a cause for celebration. "Oh yeah, bro, you know it! I'm gonna get even more while cleaning the gym - another workout for me, bro!" "No way bro! I'm gonna get way more muscles cleaning than you!"

And with that, the pair set off, using way more energy than nesseccery. And so by the end of it neither 'bro' had more muscles (as cleaning a gym is hardly a proper workout) but both 'bros' were extremly exhausted and dripping with sweat; their mouths a dersert. They knew what they needed - Tango!

Noya rolling thundered to his bag, hand plunging in hastily. One can retrieved. The hand went back in. Nothing. No, that couldn't be right... Left corner - nothing. Right corner - nothing. Left coner again - nothing! Right corner again - nothing!

There wasn't another Tango in his bag!

"Bro! Code 53!" Noya called out. "Code 53? How serious, bro?!" Tanaka was concerned - Code 53 meant panic! "Well, bro, there's only one can of tango..."

Tanaka screamed: an extremely manly and very fitting of the situation scream. Noya dived (as a libero it brought him great comfort). They paniced some more. Then, like trained dogs that just heard a command, they turned to look at the single can of Tango sat beside Noya's bag. A sinister thought crept into each's head.

Grab the can and chug.

But they couldn't do that to a 'bro'! No, a 'bro' couldn't be hurt due to their selfish desire for a drink. But if left a conundrum: both parched, both 'bros' and only one can of Tango to quench their thirst between them.

"I know what we have to do," Noya said slowly aproaching the can, "we have to share it, bro." Noya opened the can, it was the only sound in the whole gymnasium. "But bro, then we'd indirectly kiss," Tanaka pointed out the next serious point to consider. It was true - if they shared the can then it would be the site of an indirect kiss between 'bros'.

Both 'bros' considered just saying no homo, bro but it would be a lie for both. And 'bros' don't lie to each other. See: both Tanaka and Noya had a phat, full homo crush on the other but neither would admit it in fear of loosing their 'bro'. Both stood their, brains festering over these thoughts as they stared at the only can of Tango. Noya spoke first.

"What if we... What if we directly kissed then an indirect kiss wouldn't matter, bro?" "Bro, if we directly kissed then I couldn't in clear conscience tell you no homo, bro." "I couldn't either, bro..."

Both stared sadly at the ground. They couldn't drink the Tango and just saty 'bros'. Wait- did he just say a kiss would be homo for him? How homo could it be between 'bros'? Well, no homo, they both knew that... so did he mean-?

Tanaka slammed his lips against Noya's in the most homo, no bromo, direct kiss of the century. Noya recieved the kiss perfectly (he was the best libero afterall) and returned it to the spiker. This was great for the former 'bros' and possibly now 'boyfriends' but absolutly terrible for Ennoshita, who had returned to give them their meatbuns and was instead now watching they explore each others mean buns.

"Dachi said to give you these. And that I should take the keys from you since he doesn't trust you both not to loose them." With that Ennoshita plucked up the keys, threw them out of the gym, locked up and went home. The can of Tango Suga had promised him was not worth this.

I'm watching Ren's third life POV and it's such a funny contrast to the desert duo

Scar and Grian look like some questionable dealers now, or like, the villains. It's ep 4, Ren haven't seen them yet, but everyone around him talk about them like they're some kind of idk, shady ppl

" Have you heard of Scar ..? "

" Yeah I think him and Grian are teamed now ... "

' I heard that Grian was the one who killed him.. "

" shhhh!!! "

They put like dramatic music and stuff it's crazy fun

But also I gotta note that Ren is building up his power REALLY quickly it's so fascinating

mnet global auditions 5 ep4 : duo performance w/ jeon heejin song: 주지마 by 화사 & 로꼬 - rearranged [distrib]

whatever happens, it will be a good day. that's what jaemin told himself as found himself being pulled back into his mind. despite the perfomances taking place before him, it was... silent, almost as if everything was in standstill. na jaemin felt like he was on autopilot as he watched every performance and waited for their turn, glancing at heejin ever so often to see if there was any sign of nerves. he figured the least he could do now is to assure her that she will be great -- just like he always did when they practiced. she was great, and there was almost nothing jaemin could comment on when it came to her abilities. jeon heejin is his vocal pick after all.

to say that he was excited to work with her is an understatement, jaemin has never smiled so much since he began his stint in the competition. it was eye-opening to work with sungwoon in the previous performance, but working with someone who he admires left him speechless. he didn't even realize that he and heejin were introduced until yerim's name popped up in one of their conversations. they might even have conversed before and jaemin couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was they talked about. at that time, heejin was just another common friend that he had to be nice to. but if he knew she had that voice then, it would have been different.

he wasn't planning on having longer parts for this performance. in fact, he had listed down a handful of songs that would highlight heejin's talent, not that she'd need anything retouched when it came to her vocals. jaemin was so used to giving people more lines that he felt greedy for a while that he was rapping more than she was singing. eventually, his mind shifted from the line distribution to wanting to do his best to not cause heejin her chance at the competition. jaemin knew that he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he screwed up this performance and got him and heejin out of the competition. thankfully, he worked rather well in pressure -- those practical lab exams with the bell and timers did wonders.

when it was their turn, jaemin shook away all his worries. he couldn't perform well if he carried all those thoughts with him. now is not the time to be distracted with anything else. both of them worked hard on this performance. he put in more hours than he anticipated to make sure everything goes smoothly. and when heejin sang her first line, jaemin knew that all of it was worth it, that everything will be okay. they'll get through this.

jaemin practiced every chance he got, so when his queue came, he began his verse at the right timing. he delivered his lines clearly, nodding his head to the beat and looking over to heejin with a light smirk to get into character. his part felt even longer now that he was performing on stage in front of the camera and under the lights. but still, he doesn't let it get to him. he wanted to be no less than satisfactory, perfect if he could be. heejin deseres to move onto the next round, and the least jaemin could do after being able to share the stage with her is to make sure she does get to the next round. but it wouldn't hurt to show a bit of his own skills while he does so.

he was surprised by how well he and heejin sound, hearing it in such a huge space, they sound so much better than he initially thought. the realization brings big smile on his face as their performance ended. this is one of, if not the, best stage he's done on the mga stage.
