#downright gutter materialism

[horriblebogswamp]

It’s very Me to always find something to criticize but on the other hand go fuck yourself

The takeaway I haven’t yet seen from my fellow westerners moving to Rednote and such is: China’s middle class is bourgeois as fuck and near-identical to the west’s. They make the same kind of jokes. They buy Mao kitsch:

They go on little vacations so that they can visit gun ranges.

Hell, they even feel the same about Slavoj Zizek, about whom someone said “He is somewhat known in spite of his controversial statements, but mostly by people on [Chinese YouTube].”

I don’t know what it means and I hope it isn’t an ominous sign (sure looks like one), I just haven’t seen anyone say it and it feels significant to me.

Some of the Craziest Reasons for Roof and Gutter Repairs

When it comes to maintaining a home, roof and gutter repairs are often seen as routine necessities. However, the reasons behind these repairs can sometimes be downright bizarre. While most homeowners can identify common causes like weather damage or wear and tear, some situations can leave you scratching your head. In this article, we’ll explore some of the craziest reasons for roof and gutter repairs, and why it’s essential to have reliable professionals to address these issues.

Unusual Wildlife Encounters

One of the more surprising reasons homeowners find themselves in need of roof repairs is due to wildlife. It’s not uncommon for animals like raccoons, squirrels, or even birds to make their homes in the nooks and crannies of your roof or gutters. In pursuit of warmth or nesting materials, these critters can cause significant damage. For example, a squirrel might chew through your shingles or gutter downspouts, leading to leaks and requiring repairs. If you’re dealing with unwanted animal guests, it’s time to call Roofers in North Stonington CT to assess the damage and fortify your home against future invasions.

Unusual Weather Events

Mother Nature can be unpredictable, and sometimes, it’s not just storms that cause roof damage. In some areas, freak weather events like hailstorms, heavy snowfall, or even sudden temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on your roofing system. For instance, an unexpected hailstorm can leave pockmarks on your shingles, compromising their integrity. Similarly, rapid temperature changes can cause materials to expand and contract, leading to cracks and leaks. Homeowners in New London, CT, often find themselves seeking Roofing Repair New London CT due to these unusual weather patterns. Being prepared for the unexpected can save you time and money in repairs.

Roofs as Art Installations

Believe it or not, some homeowners take their love for art to a whole new level, turning their roofs into canvases. While creative expressions can be beautiful, they may not always be functional. From murals painted directly onto shingles to installations involving unconventional materials, these artistic choices can lead to serious roofing problems. The wrong type of paint can trap moisture, causing mold and deterioration. If you find yourself in a situation where your roof has become an art installation, it’s essential to consult with professionals who can evaluate the structural integrity and recommend necessary repairs or replacements.

Gutter Blockages from Unusual Debris

Gutters are designed to direct water away from your home, but sometimes, they can become clogged with unexpected debris. While leaves and twigs are the usual suspects, you might be shocked to discover items like tennis balls, toys, or even the occasional garden gnome lodged in your gutters. This unusual debris can lead to water backing up and causing damage to your roof and foundation. Regular gutter maintenance is crucial in preventing such mishaps. If you find your gutters overflowing with odd items, it may be time to call in the experts for a thorough cleaning and inspection.

DIY Disasters

In an age where DIY projects are celebrated, some homeowners take on roofing and gutter repairs without fully understanding the implications. Whether it’s an ill-fated attempt to fix a leak or a misguided effort to install new gutters, these DIY projects can lead to greater issues down the line. Inexperienced homeowners may inadvertently create more problems, resulting in the need for professional repairs or replacements. For instance, a poorly installed gutter can lead to water pooling on the roof, causing leaks and requiring Roof Replacement Windham CT sooner than expected.

Conclusion

Roof and gutter repairs can arise from some truly unexpected and outrageous circumstances. From unusual wildlife encounters to DIY disasters, being aware of these potential issues can help homeowners take proactive measures. When faced with any roofing challenges, it’s essential to enlist the help of qualified professionals. Whether you’re dealing with a simple repair or a more complex situation, calling in experts ensures that your home remains safe and sound. By understanding the crazy reasons behind these repairs, homeowners can better prepare for and manage the quirks of home maintenance.

The Other Side of Me - Chapter 1

Darkwing Duck Fanfiction (90s Series)

The Negaverse Launchpad arrives in Saint Canard and announces his intention to take down Darkwing Duck in preparation for Negaduck’s arrival. Darkwing refuses to take the threat seriously, so Launchpad decides to take on his stronger, crazier, and downright dangerous counterpart himself.

***

“I’m not sure about this one, boss. I’ll do whatever you tell me. But that portal looks… dangerous.”

“Aw, don’t tell me the big bad Launchpad is going to be a pussy about a harmless little portal?”

“I’m no pussy!”

“Then get your butt down there!” Negaduck slammed a fist into the big brute’s shoulder.

Launchpad did not so much as flinch. A frown creased his stubbled beak as he stared into the portal that swirled about their feet.

Sometimes it took a few seconds for his orders to sink through that beefy skull. Negaduck was not keen on waiting for his minion’s neurons to fire. But this would be easier if his guinea pig was cooperative. “Listen, LP,” said Negaduck as he stretched an arm around his companion’s broad shoulders, “I need someone over in that other Saint Canard I can trust. A scout to take care of Darkwing Duck and pave the way for my glorious reign.”

A grin slowly spread across that big, dumb face. “Yeah, I can do that boss.”

“Then listen carefully. And I’ll try and keep it simple, stupid. Everything over there is the opposite. There’s an alternate you over there too. If those nerds at the university rigged this thing up properly, this portal will dump you out within a mile of him. If everything goes to plan, I’ll have access to Darkwing’s world again.”

“Hey, wait. Is this one of those things where you want me to replace my double? I’m a heavy, man. You need to use me to smash some skulls!” Launchpad pounded a fist into his open palm.

Negaduck snorted and rolled his eyes. “You’re kidding me. You’d need a shave. And to learn some table manners. No, smash in as many skulls as you see fit. Take out some of Darkwing’s allies. Find out where his lair is. I don’t care. I’m giving you your head… if you know what to do with it.”

“Huh?”

Negaduck grabbed Launchpad by the collar and dragged him down so they were beak to beak. “I’m tired of your screw ups and having to explain everything half a dozen times. You get over there, and you prove to me you’re worth keeping around. Got it, big guy?”

Launchpad glared back at him, but Negaduck did not miss the other man’s adam’s apple bob up and down as he gulped. “Got it, boss.” He squared his shoulders and moved back over to the portal.

Negaduck grinned. He didn’t care what Launchpad did once, and if, he arrived in Darkwing’s Saint Canard. He needed this idiot for one thing and one thing only.

“Still looks a little rough down there.” Launchpad grumbled as he craned his neck out over the edge. “But maybe it’s not really so dangerous.”

“Only one way to find out.” Negaduck put a foot square into Launchpad’s backside. The big brute pinwheeled his arms and then toppled into the maelstrom.

Which immediately exploded into a green black geyser that splattered and hissed across the ceiling.

Negaduck dropped to the floor and pulled his hat down over his eyes. The air heated to a barely tolerable level.  A rush of wind whipped and howled past him. Then with a crash and a whoosh the gale turned back on itself and rushed back towards the portal. A chair skittered across the floor beside him, caught in the vacuum.

Then the portal shut down with a very final sounding whoomph.

Negaduck cautiously peeked out from under his hat. The ceiling had been blasted black, as had the floor. The chair sat where the portal had been, blackened, and cleaved clean in two. The smell of burnt wood and feathers lingered in the air.

Negaduck whistled through his teeth as he stood to his feet. “Oh yeah, that duck is D.E.A-dead.” He put his hands on his hips and stared at his failed experiment. Then he shrugged. “Guess it’s back to the drawing board.”

***

Launchpad dusted dying embers from the feathers on his forearms and hauled himself to his feet. The world tilted. “Stop it!” he demanded with a slur. The portal ride had been hectic, like being inside a green and black tumble dryer that was doing its best to catch on fire. But he wasn’t going to moan about it. He’d walk it off.

Sure enough, the world settled around him. The cracked bitumen at his feet was littered with garbage. Dingy, spray-painted walls hemmed him in. For a moment, Launchpad thought the alley he found himself in was back in the Negaverse. But the sky above was a bright, clear blue, and the sound of birdsong reached him. The alleyway opened to a parking lot. Across the road was a park, which was actually green. There were children playing, and giggling. Launchpad repressed a shudder. “Yuck. What a hell hole.”

And then an eerily familiar voice reached his ears. “Okay, so we need to get eggs, milk, de… er, or is that an o? I have got to stop Drake writing on my shopping list.”

Next to a garish blue sedan stood… Launchpad.

Launchpad blinked and rubbed at his eyes. “What the heck is he even wearing.”

His double scratched at the aviator’s cap perched on his head, then shrugged. “Hey, if I make soup, he’s not going to know what’s in it anyway.” Then, belting out a whistling tune that made Launchpad cringe, he strolled into the grocery store.

Launchpad rolled his shoulders. “Alright, then. Well, he is supposed to be Darkwing’s sidekick. Maybe this whole thing is just a cover. And I can’t fail Negaduck again…” Launchpad bit his lip. But no. Negaduck would not follow him in a hurry. He had most certainly pushed him through to check the safety of the portal. That ride had been anything but safe, and Negaduck was too much of a coward to come through right away until he was sure it was.

Which meant he had some time up his sleeve. “Guess I’ve got some work to do, but…” Launchpad rubbed his hands together as his gaze narrowed on the blue sedan. “Doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun whilst I’m at it.”

***

Launchpad searched the aisles of the grocery store for what he’d eventually determined was ‘deodorant.’ He snatched a spray can off a shelf and grinned in triumph. “Got ya. But you are definitely not going in the soup. Heheh.”

Crime had taken a bit of a dip the last half of the week. It meant he could get on top of the groceries. Maybe get some meals into the freezer. When there were two men who spent half the night tearing around Saint Canard chasing baddies, and one growing kid who could consume an entire stack of pancakes and then ask if she was going to get bacon and eggs with that, in the house, it paid to have something stashed that was easy to make and better than toast. Launchpad’s freezer meals always seemed to last forever. Although, sometimes Launchpad thought that was because DW preferred the toast.

He ended up getting a bit more food than he had originally intended. “Are you sure you can carry all of those?” the register attendant asked him.

“No problemo.” Launchpad hefted the two overstuffed grocery bags to his chest. He grinned out through a bunch of celery leaves and winked.

The attendant slowly raised her eyebrow. “Have a good day, sir.”

Launchpad weaved his way across the parking lot. Lifting the haul was the easy part. But the grocery bags were so overstuffed he could barely see where he was going. “Not the first time I’ve been flying blind.” Every time he caught sight of the blue sedan through the celery, he course corrected.

“Ow!” Launchpad grumbled as his shin collected the tail gate. “There she is.” He had to boot the car twice before his foot found the tail gate catch, and then he dumped the groceries in back.

He threw himself into the driver’s seat, tore into reverse, then scraped the undercarriage on the gutter out of the parking lot. Someone honked. “Sorry, I got to get home to make soup!��

Launchpad tapped the steering wheel, hummed to himself, and glanced in the rear-view mirror. “Huh? I thought I shaved this morning. Wait…”

Launchpad spluttered as his scarf tightened about his throat. Warm breath blew down his neck. “Keep driving. And no funny business.”

“Air…” His scarf loosened just a little.

“Take us off the highway.” There was something familiar about that voice. “Pull into a sidestreet.”

Yeah. Right. Launchpad pulled into a slip lane off the highway as he’d been instructed. “So, you wearing a seatbelt?”

“I don’t need no pussy seatbelt…”

As the slip lane dipped down, Launchpad gunned it. The incline was just enough to get a bit of power out of the four-cylinder engine. His assailant yelped, and there was a heavy thud as his he slammed into the roof.

Launchpad gagged as his air cut off completely. He struggled, one hand wresting the steering wheel back and forth to keep them on course, the other grappling with the material now looped tightly about his throat. He slammed on the brakes. He had previously determined the trajectory of any loose items in the sedan on more than one occasion. He ducked. Tins and bottles took flight. Some thudded into the man in the back, eliciting more grunts and curses. The rest bounced harmlessly off the windshield.

Launchpad got out and, teeth gritted, hauled the man in his rear seat out by the collar. “Next time pick on someone your own size!”

The guy slammed balled up fists on Launchpad’s arms and broke his grip. “That was the idea.”

Launchpad took a step back and put up his guard. Both men froze, facing each other in a fighting stance.

Launchpad’s fists loosened. “You… You look just like me…”

“What the hell was that?” His mirror image barked. “You trying to kill us both?”

“Mom and Dad never said anything about me having a twin.”

The man that looked like him straightened his disheveled jacket collar with a quick tug. “Okay. That was actually a half decent move. Maybe you’re not as domesticated as I first thought.”

“Who are you?” Launchpad demanded.

“Is that stupid cap cutting off circulation to your brain? I’m you, genius.”

The gears in Launchpad’s head grated over. “The Negaverse. DW told me… you work for Negaduck.”

“There you go. Heh. Guess I’m not as stupid as everyone keeps telling me.”

“What are you doing in Saint Canard? I mean, our Saint Canard.”

The other Launchpad flicked a celery leaf from his shoulder. “Not the groceries.”

“Okay, okay… I’m talking to another me. Perfectly normal. So, you work for Negaduck. But that doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy, right? I mean, you’re me… Heheh.” Launchpad tugged at his scarf.

His double dragged him towards him, so they were pressed beak to beak. “Why are you giggling?”

“I am very uncomfortable right now.”

Launchpad released him with a snort. “Great. That’s his bloody laugh. I’m glad we’re supposed to be opposites. But you listen up, pal. You’re going to be more than uncomfortable when Negaduck gets here.”

“Negaduck’s back?” Talking to himself was weird as. But he had to pull it together and focus. Launchpad jabbed a finger into his double’s chest. “I’m not going to let him hurt DW!”

Launchpad grinned. “There’s the guy who nearly sent me through his windshield. Relax, Negaduck isn’t here. Yet. He sent me, his top man, through ahead of him. So, you’re not going to have to worry about him hurting your ‘DW’. Because by the time he gets here, this Launchpad will have put Darkwing Duck at the bottom of Audubon Bay.”

Launchpad threw a punch.

His double shielded his chin with broad forearms, then clapped Launchpad in the side of the head with a right hook that sent him sprawling across the bonnet of the sedan. “Negaduck will be awhile,” he said, as he backed away. “So, in the meantime we’re going to play a little game. I’m coming for Darkwing Duck. Let’s see if his sidekick who I’ve heard so much about can stop me.”

Launchpad hauled himself upright, hands balled into first. But his head still spun. By the time the world settled enough he could stand without toppling over, the doppelganger had disappeared.

“Launchpad!” It would’ve been amusing, screaming his own name. Had his heart not been hammering in his chest. His double had gone. But he had been no figment of his imagination. “I’ve got to warn DW.”

Tins and bottles clattered across the pavement as Launchpad dove back into the sedan and raced towards home.

Authors note: So that’s the first chapter. I’ve been (re)watching Darkwing Duck on Disney Plus. Forgot how good it was. And so, now I’m writing fanfiction. This is set somewhere just after that episode where Darkwing goes to the Negaverse (Life, the Negaverse, and Everything). Basically I just wanted to get the two Launchpad’s together in the same universe and see what happens. 

I’ve already started posting this on fanfiction.net, but wasn’t seeing much action over there. But seeing as I’m booting back up the tumblr, its coming over here now. I’ll post the other chapters soon.

Read chapter 2

Hello I love your work so much. Could you please bless us with something smutty where carolnat get caught by some of the other avengers?

“Stop looking at me like that.” muttered Carol, the strain in her voice obvious as she exhaled slowly and pushed up the weights again.

From where she was stood beside Carol’s head at the top of the bench press, Natasha couldn’t complain about the view, “Eighteen ... how am I looking at you?”

“You know exactly how Romanoff and you’re gonna get us in trouble again.” warned Carol playfully, huffing out a grunt as she lifted the weights from her chest.

“Nineteen.” Natasha smiled innocently, “I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.”

“Is that so?” breathed out Carol, lowering the weights slowly and ticking an eyebrow, “Cause if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were checking me out.”

“Really?” mused Natasha, raking her eyes slowly over the length of Carol’s body and smirking, “It’d be kind of hard not to watch you, wouldn’t want you hurting yourself.”

Carol snorted as she started her final rep, “The idea that you could save me is amusing, I’ll give you that.”

“Twenty. And just cause you’ve got your magic, twinkly hands, doesn’t mean I couldn’t still kick your ass.”

Laughing louder as she set the weights back on the rack, Carol sat up straight and turned her body towards Nat, ducking her head and eyeing the other woman with a grin, “Oh really?”

“I think I could take you.”

“Hmm.” Carol brushed the few stray hairs that had fallen across her forehead out of her eyes, rising to her feet and stepping towards Natasha so she could rest her hands on her hips, “And where would you take me exactly?”

“How about ...” Natasha’s eyes drifted to the ceiling as she thought about it for a second, tapping her chin a few times until she felt Carol dig her fingers impatiently into her waist, “Right here?”

“I told you that you were gonna get us in trouble.” started Carol with a grin, bending down enough to grip the underside of Natasha’s thighs and lifting her off the ground. “But I still don’t think it’s gonna be you taking me.”

Natasha huffed in mock disappointment, wrapping her legs around Carol’s waist and combing a hand through her hair to push it back from her face, “Oh no, that sounds awful.”

“My poor baby.” teased Carol, reaching one hand to Natasha’s face and skimming her thumb over her lower lip as she took a few steps forward.

Natasha wrapped her arms around the blonde’s shoulders, fingers tracing down the back of her neck and not missing the way Carol shivered at the action, “Put your money where your mouth is then, Captain.”

Carol walked a little further forward until she could rest a knee at the bottom of the bench press and press their lips together eagerly. For all of her joking about Natasha being a distraction during her work out, both women knew that when it came down to it, Carol struggled just as much with keeping her mind out of the gutter when it came to Nat. The way Natasha would look at her sometimes was enough to make her skin flush hot and it made it impossible to be anything other than impulsive.

She lost herself quickly, using her weight to push Natasha backwards until she was lay flat on her back with Carol on top of her. Not that Natasha was about to complain about her current predicament, pulling at the front of Carol’s vest as she opened her mouth further to deepen the kiss and moaning at the sensation of Carol’s tongue dipping into her mouth. It grew hungry and desperate within seconds, the kiss all tongue and teeth as hands clawed at whatever they could reach. Carol rocked her hips gently, feeling Natasha’s thighs tighten around her waist and teeth snagging at her lower lip in response.

Carol’s hands moved from where they were resting against Natasha’s hips, travelling up and over her rib cage to take a hand full of her breasts, one of her thumbs moving to circle over Natasha’s nipple and feeling it harden immediately through the thin material of her sports bra.

Natasha hissed out a breath and broke the kiss as she felt Carol’s fingers pinch at her nipple harshly, the blonde barely missing a beat before attaching her lips to Natasha’s throat instead.

It felt like no time at all before Carol’s hands had moved again, this time tugging eagerly at the waistband of the red head’s workout pants. Natasha raised her hips off the bench slightly to help, making it easier for Carol to pull them down just enough that she could slip her hand down the front of them and graze the front of Natasha’s underwear with her thumb.

In a failed attempt to stifle a moan, Natasha gripped either side of Carol’s face to bring their lips back together, mumbling the words almost frantically against her mouth, “Fuck me, please.”

For a moment Carol considered making a smart ass comment of some kind, maybe even teasing Natasha into begging for it. But the dampness she could feel soaking through the cotton of Nat’s underwear combined with the way she was tugging at her hair and the fact she was kissing her like her life literally depended on it was all too compelling of an arguement to deny her.

Almost immediately she complied, pressing down harder and circling the pad of her thumb firmly over Natasha’s clit through her underwear and practically shuddering in satisfaction at the moan it earned her. The kiss was becoming messier quickly, Natasha’s heavy breathing and whimpering and writhing making it difficult to keep much control of the situation. She felt like she was going to downright lose her mind with how badly she wanted it as Carol started to trace the outline of her underwear, fingers skimming lightly over her skin in a way that made Natasha feel like every hair on her body was stood on end. Her stomach tightened and she could feel the arousal pooling between her legs in a way that only Carol seemed to have the power to do and it made her pull harder on her hair and grind her hips down more eagerly towards her hand in a bid for more friction.

Natasha was so utterly lost in her own arousal and need that the fact the two of them were in the gym of the compound had completely left her head. With the way Carol’s fingers pushed her underwear to one side and traced the length of her pussy, Natasha could be forgiven for forgetting that this was by no means a private setting.

The sound of a bell ringing several times snapped both women out of their daze, separating themselves from one another in what had to be record-breaking time as Carol jumped to her feet, flattening a hand over her hair and Natasha pulled her pants back up before bringing her knees up to her chest and clearing her throat awkwardly. Both women were visibly blushing at the interruption they had received, somewhat embarrassed and equally frustrated at being caught in such an intimate moment.

“You know when you’ve got your opponent pinned on her back Danvers, it usually means the fight is over.” teased Tony, ringing the bell at the side of the boxing ring one more time for good measure. He looked relatively amused unlike the others stood around him; neither Steve, Rhodey or Sam entirely sure where to look.

“Ohhh is that how it works? ... My bad, see I was waiting for a tap out.” drawled Carol with mock interest, turning her head just enough to shoot Natasha a playful wink, “Sorry baby, apparently I don’t play fair.”

“I thought we talked about this? After the sofa incident? And the kitchen incident?” asked Sam, his tone feigning irritation but his smile betraying him.

“Yeah yeah, you know how it is ... we’re very sorry, won’t happy again.” rushed out Carol, already looking bored with the conversation and her mind drifting to what they could be doing instead if it hadn’t been for the interruption.

“You’re uncharacteristically quiet, Romanoff.” observed Tony, his smile teasing as he glanced over Carol’s shoulder to see Natasha rising to her feet and stepping closer.

Natasha rested a hand on Carol’s shoulder, using the blonde’s body to shield herself in an attempt to at least keep some of her dignity after being found flat on her back by her team mates. “I apologise whole heartedly for interrupting your gym session.”

Carol wanted to roll her eyes at the sarcasm, turning her head so she could see Natasha again and lowering her voice so no one else could hear, “I told you that you’d get us in trouble.”

“Whatever.” muttered Natasha, pressing a kiss to the side of Carol’s cheek with a smirk, “I think it’s time to hit the showers Danvers.”

[theotherbloodfart]

I'm about to kill the internet

***WARNING*** alcohol is mentioned in this as well as some smut

You just....... You got no idea how much fun I had writing this 😂😂😂

@chopped--top this one is for you.

Pennywise x Reader

“So you can change whatever……. Whenever???” you were skeptical. You had SEEN his form shift in different ways, had even FELT these changes, but had never actually seen him completely make himself look…. NOT like himself.

Pennywise was lounged across your bed, his boots dangling several inches over the edge, even tho he was laying diagonally across it. This gave you an idea. Taking a sip from your margarita….. Now HOW was this damn clown so good at fixing drinks……. You stole yourself for a brave question.

“So…… like……. ANYTHING??? What about a puppy?”

The clown scoffed “Do not be a fool child. Why would I choose a form that instills such feelings of insidious warmth from you…….. Unless……..”

As he rose from the bed his body contorted in a maniacal jerking, his bones crunching as wet liquid slopping sounds came from his tissues. Within only a few moments a three headed Cerberus like monster is perching on your bed. It’s naked skin smearing ichor upon your bed sheets. It kneads your mattress with its claws, like a kitten searching for milk. This causes the material and stuffing of your mattress to spill out.

“PUPPY.” It bubbles out, it’s voice sounding like a wet towel being drug over gravel, as all 3 of its mouths move at the same time and glowing green slime slops from its jowls.

You nearly choke on your drink. “PENNY!!!”

The wet dog beast throws its heads back and howls….. No……. Roars a chortling massive sound. He is laughing at you.

“Come on Penny.” You subconsciously begin to move towards the door of your bedroom. The 6 milky white eyes of the beast follow you. “Can’t you change into at least ONE cute thing?” You pause at the doorway.

More disgusting noises as the three headed beast folds in upon itself like demon playdough then stretches out, returning to the lean clown form you are most familiar with.

“Cute?” He smirks then throws his arms wide. “Well here I am my little doll!” The theatrics make the tiny bells on his costume jingle. He was……. SO fucking adorable. You begin to get irritated as you realize he is well aware of this.

“What about people? Can you change into different people?”

Pennywise smiles at you as his face begins to become fluid, appearing like molten wax, reshaping itself into a perfect replica of your own face and hair. Your head looks comical sitting atop his neck ruff. His grin widens flashing his own buck teeth and periwinkle blue irises from your own lips and eyes. You are frozen in absolute dumbfounded awe as the skin of the face brightens from your own skin tone to chalk white. The lips glowing blood red as lines grow from the corners of the mouth to slice thru the eyes. The hair of your own color coifing itself into Penny’s own unique tufts. You are looking at a clowned up caricature of yourself. Your own clownsona wiggles their nose then sticks their tongue out at you. You feel unsettled but no longer downright afraid.

“Okay Penny. What about something sexy? Like……. Like a cowboy!” Your face brightens as you remember Chuck Connors from your childhood.

Your clownsona stands stiffly from your bed, towering over you, looking down at you, before the sound of gliding wet silk as the costume writhes and forms Chuck’s familiar clothes. More waxlike flexing and Chuck's face is now staring down at you. Only his eyes are still that glowing blue.

“Oh Lord.” You murmur. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. Chuck’s eyes crinkle as his mouth blooms into a lascivious, wide grin. One very much NOT like any smile the cowboy would've ever sported.

Pennywise's own dry giggle erupts from Chuck’s lips as his face shifts into that of the clown. It was comical really. The clown standing before you, his pristine white self, clothed in the rugged outerwear of the cowboy. Your face blushes as you nervously sip your drink.

“Ooooooohhhh!” Pennywise’s face brightens, his lips pursing in an O shape, his eyes wide. “Don’t you humans think THIS is sexy?” Suddenly he raises his arms, pirouetting as more clothes melt away.

Suddenly you feel acidic burning from the alcohol as it squeezes down your windpipe. There stands your beautiful clown……. Wearing nothing but Chuck Connors' angled hat, a scuffed and rugged pair of boots…….. And a very blatant and obvious pair of chaps……… No more jeans underneath……….. Just a pair of tight pale clown butt cheeks protruding from the back.

Tears erupt from your eyes and margarita dribbles from your nose as you splutter ice and spittle from your mouth. The laughter is painfully constricting around your ribcage.

“P-P-PEEENNYYYY!!!” you’re gasping as you realize that assless chaps HAD indeed run thru your imagination before he’d taken the form of them.

Pennywise stiffens and regards you coldly and insect like, his irises darkening to a deep bloody vermilion.

“Oh? You liked that did you? My little TOY?!” This last word was a snarl as he pushed you brutally against your bedroom wall. His left hand captures both your wrists and lifts you up, your legs helplessly straddling his waist, his right hand wraps itself around your throat, not squeezing, but still very firm.

Oh shit. Once again, you’d forgotten how powerful this being is. The scent of lions at a carnival envelopes you, his soft neck ruff banishing his former silly attire to a distant memory as he presses his silken body to yours.

Pennywise lowers his face to your neck to snuffle and take in the scent of your fresh arousal. The feel of his hot breath makes your eyes cross and your hips jut against him.

A low growl erupts from his lips as he releases your neck to reach down to tear your shorts viciously away from you. Your underwear rips away with the same tug, your clothing dangling from his large fist. His eyes never leave yours, the vermilion tickling your sight. His fist relaxes, the cloth fluttering to the ground, landing with a soft sound on your bedroom floor.

You shudder as he pushes his cock into you, groaning at the full feeling. Pennywise nuzzles into the crook of your neck and his growls rumble into your core. He releases your hands to tangle his fingers in your hair and wrench your head over to the side so that he can roll his teeth across the sensitive skin under your ear. You grasp the puffs on the upper arms of his suit and cling to him desperately.

The clown pumps into you with no mercy, obviously enjoying your expression as well as the wet sounds of your coupling. It isn’t long before you’re screaming his name thru your orgasm.

He stills and cradles your head to his chest as your breathing calms, still pinning you against your wall, still hard and swollen inside you.

“Still laughing little one?” His voice is dark.

You just can’t help yourself. You know you shouldn’t. But you say it anyways.

“Save a horse, ride a clowboy…… pardner…….” You snicker tiredly.

A gutteral snarl erupts from him as his hips snap into yours. You regret nothing.

How Hard Can It Be to Install Gutters?

There is no straightforward answer to this question. That’s because, in the right hands, installing gutters can be a simple task. On the other hand, the task can be very complex, challenging, and downright dangerous to an amateur.

DIY home improvement has been a go-to for most homeowners on a budget, but gutter installation does not always go the right way especially if you do not have the slightest idea of what you are doing.

However, if you’re determined to try, well, nothing is impossible, but you’ll have to consider some factors such as:

Costs of materials and tools

Lack of experience

The struggles of working alone

The challenge of getting the right pitch

The risk of potentially damaging your roof

The difficulty that comes with installing seamless gutters

And potential danger you’ll probably expose yourself to

It’s understandable trying to protect your home from water damage while trying to save money at the same time.

However, as tempting as the DIY route may seem, it’s not worth the potential aggravation that may come after the failed attempt. You may also end up incurring a much higher cost than you planned for.

For example, seamless gutters are hard to get right.

First, they are expensive and custom fabricated to the exact measurements of your roof, one simple mistake, and you can risk losing the benefit of the workmanship warranty.

In addition, it is essential to consider the importance of a properly installed gutter system; you won’t have to deal with leaking gutters or the problems that come with pooling water around your home’s foundation.

This is to say, it’s worthwhile to hire reputable gutter services and have the needed experience.

Rant...

I haven’t posted anything much in a long time, but you know what? I’m gonna throw in my 2 cents on the whole Vig Mignogna / FUNimation situation because it’s got way out of hand, especially in light of the leaked blooper reels that have now surfaced.

What a farce this whole thing has become, on BOTH sides!!! More dirty than a Clinton vs Trump campaign!!

I’ll be honest; I’m no Vic fan. Not because I have anything against the guy, but I just never got into the man’s work and I was not inspired by his performance as Matt on Digimon Tri (the one show that I’ve knowingly heard him in other his work as Broly in DBZ and Super). What I have heard are rumours circling on social medial for years from a few people who have met him at cons who said the guy was a “creepo,” apparently did not sign “gay themed” anime material and occasionally “shoved his religion” on people. Things I thought sounded either downright inappropriate and kind of pathetic if they were true, but even so... who knows. *shrugs*. 

That said, it amazes how blindly some fans are so 100% sure what’s true and what’s not that they treat this man like some kind of VA Messiah or something while belittling the women speaking out against him as “liars”. It’s kind of disgusting really especially as these fans cannot possible know Vic, these women or the full facts of the situation!!

On the other hand, I am not impressed with the way Funi have handled the situation either. Those VA bloopers that have surfaced are in bad taste. Yeah, I’ll admit it. They’re also around 15 years old apparently.... I’m not saying it makes it much better, but it does add some context, I guess.

I genuinely believe from hearing Sean Schemmel speak in many vids I’ve watched and hearing his views over the years that he is in no way homophobic. Again, I guess I do not know the other Funi actors anymore than I know Vic. But Sean in particular and some of the other VAs on that show I always liked and respected the hell out of, have always come across to me as genuine (maybe not always saying what people want to hear, but being sincere non the less). 

I’m not gonna say I am for any side right now because the whole thing is ugly and it’s guttering because I fricken loved Dragon Ball Z growing up (and still do). Me and my brother grew up on that show I’m still watching Super now and love the fact that they’ve had the same dub cast for 20 odd years. It’s just so sad to see people turn on the community and trying to bring Funimation down (whether rightly or wrong) after they built an amazing legacy and I personally would be guttered if they lost the license over this whole mess. 

Just my thoughts anyway....

A Dangerous Thing

Summary: The well dressed mystery subway man has had his eye on you. You know what they say; curiosity killed the cat (but satisfaction brought it back).

Word Count: 1.7k

Warnings: Mentions of arousal and public acts of affection, but no actual smut

Pairing: Triplet!Kylo(assumed)x RC

A/N: So I wanted to apologize in advance for stopping before I wrote any actual smut. I started it a couple times but I couldn’t find it in my heart to, y’know, write the dirty (I haven’t been feeling well) and the fic seemed like it was at a good place to end. Just a little thing I’ve been turning over in my head, Thanks for reading, loves! Enjoy!

You’d seen him every day since you’d started taking the subway. For the past two weeks, you’d made brief eye contact with him once a trip, and couldn’t stop yourself from letting your eyes linger over his features. Though, you could hardly blame yourself. Maybe if he wasn’t so damn alluring. Tall, and broad. If you had to guess, you’d say he was near twice your size. He towered way over you, at least. Of course, it might have just been his presence that seemed to take up so much space.

And his face. That strong forehead, the nose that almost seemed a little too big for his face. A chiseled jaw that looked like it could cut marble. His whole face was framed by lusciously thick locks of raven hair. Then there were those lips- God, those lips. Full and pink and delicious; at least, you imaged. And oh yes, you did imagine. Pretending you weren’t soaking wet on your way to work was getting increasingly difficult.

Exquisite little moles and freckles dotted his pale features. You found the unsettling desire to kiss each one swirling around in the pit of your stomach.

You had no idea why he was even riding the subway. Every day he wore a different suit coat, made from materials that looked way too out of place on the dingy public transport route. His slacks were always perfectly pressed, and a different tie circled his thick neck every morning. The buttons on his jacket clung to each other for dear life. Keeping your mind from the gutter was almost impossible when his entire person screamed with thickness.

It began some time during the first week. After a few days of shared intimate moments of eye contact, you were trapped. You had to know him. With each passing day, you grew more emboldened, moving through the thick crowd of people a little closer to him. Some days, the crowd was so bad that you had to move your head around to try to look for him while at the same time, trying not look like you were moving your head to try to look for him.

And two weeks later, here you were. Standing in front of him, your back to his chest as you planned a way to start a conversation.

Man, socializing with hot people was harder than you anticipated.

You smoothed your skirt down over your thighs anxiously with one hand, clinging (just barely) to the handle attached to the roof of the car with the other. Every stop, it seemed, more people got on than got off, packing the sardine can of a subway tighter and, more than once, causing you to bump back against him. You’d mutter an apology when this happened, and shimmy forward. You glanced down at your watch.

According to your past observations, you had about five minutes left on this damn thing. Who knew how much longer he’d be here, out of place in this stuffy car that reeked of morning breath?

Suddenly, the car jolted to a stop and the metal ring you were holding slid out from your fingers. Before you could make a fool of yourself, most likely tumbling to the ground and taking a couple others around you down with you, two sturdy hands wrapped around your waist.

You fumbled back and, instead of falling on your ass, you fell back against a solid chest. You hands flew to cover the two holding your steady.

“Careful.”

Warm breath washed over your neck, tickling your ear. You looked up, the back of your head barely brushing against his pectorals. Whatever you were going to say died in your throat as you got your first up-close look into his eyes. They were downright gorgeous: a deep hickory, as rich as the earth’s soil. His irises glimmered with flecks of gold, the color of filtered sunlight on carpet.

And oh, God, he smelled intoxicating. Hints of fresh soap and a masculine cologne played around your nose, drawing you further into his grasp. There was almost an underlying sense of musk that made you want to bury your nose in his suit coat and never leave.

You fumbled around in your head for information on closing your jaw while he quirked an eyebrow at you, a playful smirk turning up one corner of his mouth. Something wicked glinted in his eye.

Some time during your distraction, the subway had started moving again. His hands had not. Though you weren’t sure if that was because your own hands were still atop his, or because he simply hadn’t wanted to move them. You prayed it was the latter.

Finally, some semblance of self-respect crawled back into your head. You jerked your hands off of his, and he took the hint. He dragged his hands off of you, his fingertips lingering in a way that made you fight openly shivering. Immediately, you missed the pressure on your hips. You looked back down as a heat flooded your face, turning your cheeks a rosy pink.

“S- uh, Sorry. About that,” you mumbled. A soft chuckle sent a wave of goosebumps down your arms. You crossed them quickly.

“No problem. Really.”

The subway stopped again; this time you managed to snag the handle without toppling into the stunningly gorgeous man behind you. A muffled voice on the overhead claimed it was your stop.

You paused.

Were you supposed to tell him goodbye? God, no. You shut that idea down quickly. If you looked back, you might not have been able to keep from throwing yourself on him.

Hot breath washed over your neck, the smell of fresh mint curling in your nose.

“A woman in a skirt is a dangerous thing.”

You couldn’t stop the shudder that stole down your spine this time, the only acknowledgement you would give to his… compliment? Warning?

With only a small stumble, you pushed through the throng of people and stepped out of the car, taking the first full breath since you’d gotten on the damn subway.

The encounter with your mystery man ran through your head all through work and on the subway ride home. You couldn’t even look at the place you’d been pressed against him without a blush overcoming your features.

Once home, you threw leftovers in the microwave, ate, caught a (cold) shower, and slid between your sheets, wondering what it would be like to slide between his. The thought drove a frustrated groan from your lips. You flicked out the lamp, turned on your side, and dreamt of his hands on your hips and his breath on your face all over again.

You found yourself tapping your foot and shifting your weight impatiently. The subway was running late. You crossed your arms. Then uncrossed them. Then smoothed the skirt of your dress down, tugging at a loose thread.

Anxiety curled in your belly like a cat. It had taken you fifteen minutes of chewing your lip and turning the same two thoughts over in your head in order to pick which outfit to wear. With a glance at your clock and the realization that you only had about ten minutes before you had to leave, you grabbed the dress in one hand and jetted off to change. You never got the chance to ask what he meant by his skirt comment. Now, you would find out for sure.

The subway screeched to a stop in front of you. The doors opened painfully slowly.

And there he was.

Today, he sported a jet black suit coat and beige slacks, with shiny dress shoes. A red tie sat pressed against his chest, pinned to his shirt by a silver tie clip. A wad of spit gathered in your mouth. He looked absolutely divine.

And those damn eyes of his were on you in an instant, drawing you near to him as your slid past at least six different people. The subway was more crowded than usual today. The smell of armpit filled your nostrils. One rather birdlike old woman perched on a plastic seat sent you a nasty glare when you nearly tripped over her foot.

You held his eye until you were right in front of him, and turned around. Your back was mere inches from his chest. You could practically feel his eyes tracking down your frame. A dark chuckle sounded somewhere behind you. A smile slid over your lips.

The subway doors closed and the car took off. An elbow dug into your ribs, and you shot the scrawny guy next to you a pointed look. He shrugged his shoulders, muttered an apology, and looked out the window.

That’s when you felt it.

A rough, warm hand wrapping around the front of your thigh. A shaky exhale fell from your lips. Four fingers pressed into your skin, the fifth drawing small circles against the fabric on your thighs.

“You didn’t listen to me.”

His voice was a purr in your ear, lulling you to lean back. The scuff of a shoe somehow caught your ear amidst the din of the subway. Then his chest was pressed against your back, his nose barely ruffling your hair while he scrutinized you.

Your heartbeat pulsed in your ears. Just as you were about to open your mouth to say something, his thumb slipped under the hem of your dress, his hand sliding dangerously up your thigh.

You failed to stifle a whimper, a pathetic little sound barely audible over the noise of the subway. The chest at your back rumbled with silenced laughter. The pads of his fingers were warm against your skin as they drifted closer to your pantyline.

“Do you know how hard it’s been?” his breath stirred the hair tucked behind your ear. “To keep my hands off you for so long?”

A shudder stole over your whole body. You reached back to fist your hand into his khakis. The timber of his deep, breathy baritone shot a jolt of liquid arousal into your core. Your nerve endings crackled with desire.

Something akin to shame simmered in the back of your mind; you didn’t even really know this man. But here he was, his hand under your dress, his fingers skirting just under the hem of your panties, all in front of the crowd on the subway. Yet, you couldn’t find it in yourself to stop him.

“We’ve got twenty-five minutes before you get off,” he purred. “I hope you know how to stay quiet.”

How to Improve Your Home’s Earthquake Resistance

There’s nothing scarier than being in your home when a natural disaster hits. If you live in an earthquake-prone area, you’ve probably already experienced some of those frightening tremors yourself. A serious quake can be downright terrifying, and, if you’re not careful, a disaster for your property.

  Luckily, thanks to modern tools and technology, we now have more tools and resources at our disposal to help improve our home’s earthquake resistance. If you’re in a quake-prone area, you need this guide. Let’s talk about how to improve your home’s earthquake resistance so you can have some much-needed peace of mind. With an estimated 500,000 detectable earthquakes happening around the world each year, you can never be too careful.

    What Causes Earthquake Damage?

What exactly causes your home to move and shake so much during an earthquake? While you probably already know how the tremors shake the ground from movement in one of the Earth’s fault lines, what exactly happens to your home?

  The most damaging motion, believe it or not, is not the vertical component of the Earth moving up and down. In fact, it’s the horizontal movement. Your home wants to stay in a single place as the Earth shifts from side to side, and this creates a lot of sideways forces on the walls, pointing them in a diamond shape. This is known as “shear forces,” and it can lead to your walls crumbling down.

  Now, let’s identify clear ways to make your home more “earthquake proof.” It’s important to note that no building will ever be 100% safe from natural disasters, but you can take preventative steps both when building your home and styling it.

  Improve the Flexibility

The more mass a structure has, the higher the shear loads will be in the case of an earthquake. If a structure has “flex” and “give,”  it’s much more likely to absorb the seismic energy. This is what’s been used with much success in places like Japan where there’s a high chance of experiencing an earthquake.

  One of the materials with the greatest flexibility is fiberglass. These fiberglass composites have a high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility, making them very strong in the case of an earthquake.

  Reinforcing Existing Walls

If your home is built with materials that are known to handle poorly when there are ground tremors, you still have options. What materials are notoriously bad with earthquakes? Older masonry, concrete, and earth materials are very poor choices.

  That being said, these materials can be improved with reinforcing steel, bond beams, and roof diaphragms. This is definitely an investment needed to improve the longevity of these materials. Always avoid unreinforced masonry walls which are prone to collapsing.

  Check the Foundation Moisture

Your foundation moisture affects the land around the base of your house. This base is especially affected by things like moisture and water, so you should try to keep these conditions constantly.

  Always keep your gutters and the area around your home clean. Don’t let any rainwater pool on the ground. It could be worth having your home inspected to look for any moisture problems.

  Use Flexible Utilities

While it’s not possible to make sure everything in your home is flexible in the case of an earthquake, you can still take measures. There are such things as flexible pipe fixtures that can be used to avoid gas or water leaks. These will be a lifesaver if your utilities are damaged during a disaster.

  Move Furniture and Decorations Away From Beds

Hanging pictures over your bed might be fine if you’re in a place that isn’t prone to earthquakes. However, these can quickly become a danger if they fall down on you during any ground shaking.

  Things like bookshelves, large furniture, and electronics, as well as decorations, can become a danger once an earthquake strikes. Not only should you properly secure these things to your walls, but you should also keep them away from places you’re likely to be resting, like chairs and beds.

  Better Safe Than Sorry

Protecting your home from an earthquake doesn’t have to involve any big overhauls. It’s easiest to look for properties that already have sound, flexible construction in place to cut down on these problems. However, even if you live in an older home, you have options.

  It’s all about being safe rather than sorry when it comes to the best ways to improve your home’s earthquake resistance. Your build and property can have a big impact on your resistance, so it’s important to take these tips seriously.

5 Reasons to Consider These Roof Remodeling Ideas

2. Install “cool roof” shingles to prevent heat buildup and lower your energy bills.

The latest roof remodeling ideas don’t always strike a chord. Driven by advancements in the world of design and the “need for new,” some remodeling ideas are downright scary. Others provide a lifetime of value to a home and a…

1. Consider synthetic underlayment for improved appearance and lasting appeal.

Unless you’re a roofing professional, the material placed under your shingles might never cross your mind. For decades, felt underlayment was the only choice possible. Polyurethane alternatives were slow to catch on, but due to their improved strength, durability and moisture resistance, these synthetic alternatives help your roof last longer. When shingles get damaged or blown off during storms, there’s less chance moisture will invade your home.

Though placed under shingles, synthetic underlayment offers aesthetic benefits too. Because they are thinner and lay flatter than traditional felt underlayment, they also help produce a more polished appearance.

2. Install “cool roof” shingles to prevent heat buildup and lower your energy bills.

A few years ago, developers created a shingle “cool roof” paint for reflecting the sun’s light. The theory was the paint would also deflect heat and result in a more comfortable home and lower bills. There were a few different issues with these products. They were expensive and messy to apply, and more importantly, they could change the way your shingles performed.

Manufacturers like GAF responded with new products designed to perform well on all fronts making them one of the best roof remodeling ideas. Timberline HD® Reflector Series™ shingles are a beautiful and eco-friendly investment with the potential to reduce your bills. From Copper Canyon and Birchwood to Charcoal Grey, your color choices in shingles are no longer limited to white or even light-colored shades.

3. Prevent damage with roof-centric storm preparation.

When winds rage and rains pour down, your roof is the only thing protecting your property. With summer storms becoming wilder every year, the time is right for investing in heavy-duty roofing materials. These run the gamut, from Dura Grip adhesive tested to withstand 150 mph winds to ultra-reinforced shingles impervious to impact, such as GAF Timberline® ArmorShield™ II and Grand Sequoia® IR.

Sure, replacing your roof after a hurricane is often covered by your insurance, but wouldn’t you like to forgo the expense, mess and disruption by keeping your roof in good condition? Your next roofing replacement is a good time to prepare.

Hopewell Roofing & Restoration is one of the top installers for these shingles, achieving Master Elite certification. It’s a designation earned by only two percent of roofing contractors and ensures we always have access to the company’s latest, greatest products.

4. Architectural shingles make a statement (and don’t have to cost a fortune).

Single asphalt shingle is still the most common roof topper you’ll find on homes. Quickly coming up in second place is the architectural shingle, one of the best roof remodeling ideas. Manufacturers make these products by laminating two – or more – asphalt shingles together to give a 3-D appearance mimicking more expensive types of roofing, such as cedar shakes. These shingles have unique colors that reinforce this three-dimensional effect.

While today’s architectural shingles have dropped the copycat act, their textured look is an improvement over the typical flat asphalt roof. It provides such bang for the buck, in fact, realtors suggest upgrading to architectural shingles before putting your home up for sale. With price points so close to regular asphalt shingles, it’s a no-brainer if you’re already replacing your roof.

5. Gutter upgrades keep homes looking sharp while cutting down on maintenance and moisture problems.

Gutter systems continue to be a necessity to protect homes’ foundations from water that pours off roofs during thunderstorms. Left to fall around the base of the house, water will dig trenches around your foundation and find its way into your crawlspace or basement. It won’t be long before those walls start caving in.

The good news is gutters are more beautiful than ever before. This is largely due to new aluminum designs and gutter guard systems specially developed to prevent leaks and debris buildup.

Interesting too are the environmental benefits of today’s gutter systems. Routed to rain barrels and grow beds, homeowners are taking full advantage of water collection systems. Gutters can now lower water usage and resulting bills, as well as improve the look of your property. The degree to which they’re able to do these things depends on your city and state code.

If your roof isn’t doing its job, you may end up with pieces of roof all over your yard, and a house that’s missing part of a roof for a while.
