Cherry blossom inspires the parabolic forms of this pavilion

Visitors can shelter beneath the overlapping petals of this pavilion in Taiwan, which is inspired by cherry blossoms and made with parabolic forms.

The lightweight temporary structure, designed by Marc Fornes, principal of NYC firm THEVERYMANY, is installed in a public park in Taichung City. It riffs on the organic undulating forms of white and pink yīng huā, or cherry blossom, but it is made with thin-shell aluminium, which nods to the park’s wider industrial surroundings.

Blaues Dreieck - Blinky Palermo

Blaues Dreieck by the German artist Blinky Palermo is a stencil used to create a blue triangular form. The stencil is editioned published by René Black in 1969. The triangle should be installed over a door at its centre point. Here it can be read as a decorative ornament, but it can also seem to charge the room and its entrance or exit, particularly because of the intense blue colour, associated with heavenly transcendence, and the apex of the triangle that appears to point upwards beyond the realms of architecture. This effect is, in turn, undermined by the work’s impermanence – the fact that it is painted on the wall and it must be painted over to be removed, as well as its status as an edition rather than a single object.

Palermo made several works using isosceles triangles, starting with Tagtraum I 1965 and culminating in Blaues Dreieck, which was installed at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1970, where blue triangles were painted onto the walls and evenly spaced. In his essay ‘The Palermo Triangles’ art historian Benjamin H. D. Buchloh has related the shapes to the triangular forms in pre-war utopian constructivist abstraction and to Joseph Beuys’s Fat Corner of 1963 (see Buchloh, ‘The Palermo Triangles’, in Los Angeles County Museum of Art 2010). Buchloh has also emphasised the importance of the work Yves Klein to Palermo in the latter’s use of ultramarine.

“We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.” Andy Goldsworthy is a land artist and photographer renowned for his ephemeral, site-specific installations made from natural materials such as ice, rocks, sand, and branches. Created with an acute awareness of the landscape’s inherent changes, his sculptures intentionally blur the lines between art and nature. Andy’s transient works are photographed only once, right after they��re created, and explore the passage of time and our relationship with nature, emphasising the impermanence of life and the continuous interplay between human creativity and the natural world.

It's Time For The Event Whose Name I Can't Fucking Spell!

You may or may not have heard of the premise behind Ephemeral SMP, a server that is going to exist for exactly five hours before being deleted forever, only surviving by hearsay and recordings afterwards.

The server will be survival mode Vanilla+ Java edition 1.21.3, with some basic things like pronoun datapacks and Simple Voice Chat installed for everyone's convenience. There are no gimmicks beyond the server's lifespan.

This is Milo @hiding-under-the-willow's idea, and they're going to be uploading a summary of the events of the server for a grade, so you best believe I'm gonna have the time of my life on there.

The server will be open from 5-10pm CST on Monday, November 25th, and will be livestreamed by several members such as myself, @fakezircon, @shiftingos, @gurhulk, @sammelquest, @galladegamer, @olandten-cat, and others!

Other participants will be recording and editing footage to upload to YouTube later, so keep an eye out for that as well.

It's gonna be a hell of a time! See you all there! :D

(thankyou to @daemour for sharing the pic for the banner kek)

A little past seven. The sun almost entirely set behind the mountains, letting an orange-pink hue drawn in the horizon. The air was sweet and spicy— a mix of candy and roasted marshmallow.  Mingi was focused on the noise his feet made as he stepped on yellowish leaves, until he hit the back of his friend, after this one suddenly stopped,  causing him to bump against him.

“There it is.” Yunho said.

Yunho had said he wasn’t buying San’s story, in his own words, San “had reached rock bottom”  and that “he just had met a charlatan as horny as him”. But curiosity killed the cat, and here they were. ‘Small caravan at the end of the field’ looks cozy,” he chuckled, already starting walking towards the fairy lights illuminating the entrance.

“This is stupid,” Mingi groaned, undertones of embarrassment in his voice. “We should go back” 

“You can go, but i’ll check it out, I want to know why San thought we would believe in this,” the taller one said. Mingi rolled his eyes, but still followed him until the entrance of the caravan. 

As they took the small steps in, they passed through the thin veil covering the inside, finding a sea of pillows, lit candles and various mystic looking items scattered around. It seemed a mess, but oddly an organized one that made sense.

“She’s not here?” Mingi said over Yunho’s shoulder as the taller one entered further into the room. 

“At least it smells good,” Yunho smiled, taking the ouija board and checking it out, and tapping on the glass on the crystal ball on the round table at the center. 

“Careful dear, that’s fragile” 

Your voice started both tall men, who stopped their movements at the same time, staring at you. 

“Oh we didn’t see you— are you the fortune teller?,” 

“Fortune, Misfortune. It depends.” you said softly, walking around the table, getting closer to them. Yunho stayed put but Mingi backed up two small steps, shielding himself behind his friend. 

“We have a friend, he came last week,”’ Mingi continued, gaining confidence. You removed your hood letting your hair fall into your shoulders, as you took a seat in front of the round table. Mingi opened his mouth but said nothing. Yunho looked at you cautiously but interested.

“He recommended your readings,” Yunho said with a smirk, looking you straight in the eyes, and sitting in front of you. Mingi followed, sitting beside him, grabbing a pillow and placing it over his lap. “He was very pleased when he got home after seeing you”

“This friend told you about my special reading I assume,” you took two cups of your finest porcelain from your already set up silver trail, serving the tea you just finished brewing on each of them. As you poured the hot liquid into the cups, both men followed your movements attentively. When you finished, offering them one each, the skeptical one spoke. 

“Can we skip the tea, the palms— and the cards? We would like to try the special service” 

“Everything in its time”, you smiled gently, encouraging them with a soft movement of your hand to drink. They looked at each other, but took the cup and started drinking. Yunho finished quickly, while Mingi was looking through it with each sip trying to make up something at the bottom. 

“So you are a curious one,” You smiled at Mingi, taking his cup while brushing your long fingers over his, making him blush. “Past, present or future?” you inquire him, his sparkly eyes shining with anticipation. 

“Present” He whispered, his low voice barely in a whisper. Yunho finished his cup, and after a quick glance to the bottom, left it for you to check up next. 

“I see you are out of your comfort zone, you are worried and afraid to let someone close to you down by confessing your feelings” Mingi leaned forward, you continued. “You wish to be with this person but are also afraid to ruin things out, so you wait”

“Ooh” Mingi’s eyes got cloudy, and you could see he unconsciously glanced over at Yunho, who was focused looking for something in the cup again. “Uhm, and what else? What should I do?” 

“Stop waiting. Tell them how you feel, before it is too late.” Mingi looked confused, a hint of sadness in his eyes after your words.

“What about you, dear?— past, present or future?” you said, looking over at Yunho.

“Future.” 

You smiled softly, already anticipating what the leaves would tell you. “Very well, let’s see,” You took the cup and examined the leaves carefully, a long line of dots resembling a chain. “I see an important confrontation will happen soon, you had been avoiding it, but it will eventually find its time” Yunho smirked, avoiding Mingi’s eyes who glanced at him. 

“I can see both your readings are connected, there’s no coincidences in life, all that happens comes with intention,” you took the tea cups and placed them back on the tray. “There’s a reason why you came together” 

Yunho got a little tense by how much he was avoiding looking at his friend, but shook it off. “Anyways, can we try the special thing?” he said with a snarky tone. “Mingi, would you go first?” 

Mingi mumbled a few Uh’s before you stood up from your seat and got closer to him. “Yes sweet, are you ready?” your gentle tone made Mingi feel tingles on his stomach and he nodded, getting comfortable with some pillows around him, suddenly eager to begin. 

“Can I?” you asked Mingi as you put your hand over his belt, starting to remove it as he nodded yes softly. Once the belt was off, you brushed the fabric of the jeans close to his waist, gently asking for help to pull them down. Mingi helped you clumsily, until they were down to his knees, and you placed yourself even closer to do the same with his boxers when you heard Yunho’s voice, more to himself than anyone else.

“Wait, is this for real?” He had moved to the seat you had before, and now had a full view of what you were about to do to Mingi. His eyes were now sparkly, not dim like before and he had genuine curiosity in his expression. “You are going to… suck him off?” 

“You said you wanted special reading, this is how it is done, it’ll be your turn soon” you smiled softly, turning back to gentle caress Yunho’s cheek, feeling his warm skin. “Now let’s start on you, sweet one,” you placed your hand on Mingi’s briefs and pulled them down, looking at his cock attentively, softly stroking him with both hands as you looked at it..

Almost instantly, Mingi started to softly moan, you were barely touching him and he was getting hard already. His cock was big, and thick, and you started pumping him out with a little more pace. “I see you are struggling to settle right now, but don’t worry sweet, you’ll find your place eventually” Mingi whispered a soft Mmmh and you continued. “I see this bond with a special group of friends will last forever, until the very last remains”. 

“Yeah? T-that is great,” Mingi closed his eyes, opening them suddenly when he felt your lips over his shaft, leaving sweet pecks on it. 

“I can’t find a taste, are you worried about something, perhaps this friend I mentioned?” You looked at him in the eyes before dragging your tongue flat against his cock, making him moan loudly. 

“C-could be… I’m confused by him” 

You continued flickering your tongue over his cock, very hard and ready for you. Again, like it happened with the one that came before them, you were so tempted to actually start fucking him, but you still have work to do. “I think, you will come to some answers to these worries, very soon” 

You finally took his entire length, sucking him off rapidly, and God he was loud. Mingi’s whimpers with his low voice were so heavenly, he threw his head back and could see actual stars, not only the ones hanging from your ceiling. 

You could feel the tension on the one behind you, Yunho watching it all. He had spread his legs, palms on the floor as he let his already hardened cock open from when you would start working on him. His eyes went back to your mouth on Mingi’s pretty cock, and then on his friend's expression. 

“Fuck,’ he muttered a few times, feeling like he should be the one erning those pretty noises out of him, but he was just so scared of actually saying it. He also wanted to be sucked off by you, so that was two urgent needs he wanted to fulfill right now. His vision was clouded, the sounds Mingi was making were driving him mad. 

“I want to…” Yunho said softly, and only you could hear him, paying attention to the change of energy radiating from him. He was in need to be taken care of, to be held and ease his cloudy mind. “Can I?” 

You softly licked Mingi’s length after taking it out from your mouth. He whined loudly, but the sparks in his eyes shone ever brighter when he saw Yunho already removing his pants and briefs. 

“Yunho?” he whispered. Incorporating a little on his seat, cock sprung over his stomach. He unconsciously grabbed his own dick ready to pump himself up at the sight he was about to witness. 

“So he is the sweet, and you are the eager one” You smiled, getting closer to him licking the corners of your mouth from Mingi’s taste, ready to try another. “You two make a lovely pair” 

“Uh,” Yunho was about to argue something when you grabbed his length, caressing the tip with your thumb. “I see, you will come with great wealth someday, actually soon” You turned over your shoulder seeing how Mingi’s eyes followed every movement of your hand, when you looked at Yunho again, you saw him looking straight into his friend’s. 

You smiled, genuine interest in how these two would be after this, so you tried to make Yunho’s cock reveal you something. You grabbed Yunho’s balls and then placed your hand around his thickness so you could feel the veins as you felt him. Precum already showed from his tip, he made little muffled noises as you jerked him off. He was quieter as if letting Mingi shine with his loud cries and moaning, he was also working on himself watching you and Yunho. You licked Yunho’s tip, tasting his precum, finding it sweet. “Lots of lovers have passed by you, but you can’t commit?”

“I-i..” Yunho moaned for the first time, and it was glorious. Soft and airy, he grabbed your head as you took him all in your mouth, swirling your tongue on all you could reach. “Oh fuck…” He throws his head off, softly massaging your head as his hips thrusted into your mouth. 

For a few seconds you were lost in the pleasure of savoring him when someone tapped on your shoulder. When you opened your eyes, you could see Mingi had gotten closer to you, his cock facing you. “Please,” he asked with pleading eyes, still pumping himself off. 

You left Yunho’s cock with a loud pop and began stroking him instead. Both men placed himself in front of you waiting to be pleased. You took both in each of your hands and started pumping with a sloppy pace. Your own vision is blurry. You thanked yourself for not wearing underwear today, you rarely did, but today it would definitely have ended up ruined. 

You couldn’t resist and took Yunho again in your mouth, salivating at the sight of the two in front of you. Yunho’s quiet moans were making you insane, but you also needed Mingi’s hitting your throat, so you moved back to him taking him all in at one go, making him groan loudly, which made Yunho groan too. 

As you sucked Mingi off, you could see them get closer until they were finally kissing as you took them both the best you could. You could feel yourself drenching at this point, it would be possible you could come too just be looking at them make out with each of their cocks in your mouth. 

“Fuck I’m close,” Yunho whispered over Mingi’s lips. 

“My sweet, let me taste it, you are so close” you said to Mingi who was almost there too. Mingi looked at you and bit his lip, grabbing your head and making you take all of him. He was running out of breath as the back of his cock hit your throat with each trust. Finally he came, his cum  filling up your mouth which you gladly swallowed until the last drop. “Interesting, thick” once you swallowed you kissed his tip that was already softening. Immediately, Yunho’s large hand made you face him. 

“My turn” he smiled cockily, and you happily obliged. You started slow but increased your pace quickly knowing there was not much for him to come too. As you worked on him he grabbed the back of your head, keeping you in place. He needed release and he needed it now. “Yeah, like this” he started getting louder with each groan, and when you looked up to see his face as he came, you could see him locking eyes with Mingi, and it was the hottest thing you had the pleasure to witness in one of your special readings. 

As they looked each other in the eyes, you closed yours, savoring Yunho’s cum right after Mingi’s. 

You relaxed in your seat, your knees a little sore from the position, but knowing it was all worth it. Both men were phanting now, foreheads pressed against each other. And they smiled at each other.

“Fuck, that was so good.” Mingi laughed shyly, he turned to see you to check if you were alright, while he pulled his pants and fixed his belt. Yunho did the same, also looking at you for confirmation that you were fine. You nodded and he offered you a hand for you to stand up. 

After a few moments for you to breathe normally again. You took both of their hands. “You see how you two are bound together,” you turned to Mingi and whispered in his ear. “Speak your needs sweet, life has great things waiting for you,” Mingi’s eyes sparkled and he blushed intensely. He took your hand and kissed it softly. You turned to look at Yunho. “A risk free life, can’t be worth living”. You cupped his cheek and he smiled at your touch. 

After both had come off from their high, you saw them walk away from your caravan together, a warm sensation enveloped you, the feeling of the wonderful times ahead of them.

A/N: I'm the start of this collab with more installments to follow. Also this is all a big joke because we as a group were silly and made a collab out of that :D but I did a bunch of research on reading different things for telling ones future, very interesting indeed!!!

San turned around his own axis, taking all the colours, scents and noises of the wandering carnival. Dozens of tents and caravans lined along the green field, families with their kids walked between them and artists working hard to keep everyone’s spirits high.

The scent of freshly made popcorn and sweet cotton candy wafted through the air. Just seeing the bright colours of the large towers of cotton candy made San salivate.

His friends called out for him and San quickly came back to his senses. He turned to the voices of his friend and promptly bumped into a hooded figure. “I’m so sorry.” San bowed hurriedly towards the person and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Seems like fate brought you here”, you smiled and looked up at him. “Here, have this.” 

San automatically held out his hands, perplexed from your ominous statement. His eyes widened and his mouth formed the shape of a circle. San’s eyes wandered down to his open hands, watching how you placed some sort of ticket in his palms with your delicate fingers. 

While San turned the ticket around, noticing it was a gift coupon for a divination, you vanished into the crowd. When San looked back up and didn’t find you again, he turned his head from side to side, desperately searching for the hooded figure.

Once more his friends called for him, pulling him out of his train of thoughts. He hastily pushed the coupon into his pants pocket and rushed over to catch up with them. 

During the afternoon at the carnival with all its attractions and stalls San nearly forgot about the coupon. Until his friends dragged him to the haunted house. 

“We should try it out!”

San grimaced and vehemently shook his head. “Thanks, but no.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest, showing an x. “I’m definitely not going in there. You guys have fun, I’ll just wait here or find something else to do.”

He watched his friends go into the haunted house, laughing and hollering over his scaredy cat nature. San waved them off with a tight lipped smile and then stuffed his hands into pockets. 

San pulled them back out once he felt the coupon and turned it once again in his fingers. Both sides showed a crystal ball seemingly glowing in front of a purple background. Your name stood inside of the glowing orb. 

San looked at the haunted house one last time, contemplating his options. Before his brain actually caught up to his decision, his body already moved through the carnival grounds.

Far at the edge of the field stood a smaller caravan. Fairy lights were strung around it, highlighting the entrance. The door was open and an intriguing scent wafted out from the inside of the caravan. 

“Hello?” San stood in front of the few steps, his gaze shifting between the coupon and the open door. He slightly leaned to one side, hoping to get a glance at the inside but a purplish veil obstructed his vision. Uncertainty washed through his system and he rubbed the back of his neck again. 

Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.

Right as San turned around, ready to leave again, your sweet voice called from the inside of the caravan. San immediately halted in his movements, turning back around on his heels. “Yes! Hello?” San hesitantly climbed the first step, leaning to the side once more as he hoped, seeing at least your movements or something else.

“Come right inside”, you called out. Your smile widened when his head peeked through the curtain. “Don’t be so shy, love.” You waved him inside, offering him a seat on the large pillow pile next to you.

San’s eyes darted around the tiny room, taking everything in that he saw. Towards the back of the room was a large mattress, barely shielded from his gaze by a nearly transparent veil. To one side was a small dresser, littered with candles, cards, stones, a ouija board and lighted incense. The smoke slowly twirled upwards. San noticed how more fairy lights were strung to the ceiling over his head, while the floor was covered with dozens of pillows. Only a low, round table stood out between them. 

San finally sat down, his eyes glued to the things on the table. Besides a large crystal ball in the middle, were more cards and stones. Two cups with steaming hot tea stood there as well.

“Past, present or future.” You mused as you placed your elbows on the table and rested your chin on your hands. “What might have brought you here?” 

San blinked several times before his eyes widened. He didn't exactly think about the reason he came here. “Future?” San noticed the spark within your eyes upon hearing his answer, making him somewhat nervous.

You smiled gently, still keeping a mysterious aura around you. “Have some tea”, you offered, pointing at the cup in front of him. “But careful of the dried leaves at the bottom. I need those to read your future.” You chuckled softly when he only nodded and started sipping from his cup.

Once San finished his tea, he stared down at the bottom of the cup. The leaves clumped together in different ways but he barely made any shape or form out of them - not even thinking of the meaning they could hold.

You slightly craned your neck, trying to peek into the cup. “And? What do you think your future holds?”

San furrowed his brows in thought, twisting and turning the cup in hopes of getting some sort of clue. “I’m not sure. This could be a triangle? And this might be a plus sign or a multiplication?”

You snickered and scooted over to him, peering into the cup he held. “Oh, that’s an abundance of symbols”, you noticed with surprise. “The closer they are to the edge of the cup the sooner they’ll happen or might have happened even.” You pointed at the tea leaves towards the edge. “I can see a fan here, which means a pleasant encounter with the opposite sex.”

San stared at your profile, heat creeping up his neck and turning his ears red. The closeness and your words let all kinds of thoughts play through his mind. 

“And here I see a boat, an angel and a horseshoe. You’ll get a visit from friends and either they will tell you some lucky news or you might share something lucky with them. Oh.” You hummed in thought, looking serious at the inside of the cup.

San’s breath hitched and his heart seemingly thumped even louder than before. “What is it?” He whispered, scared his normal speaking voice would shatter the moment.

“I see a raven and a deer.”

“What do they mean?”

“A dispute, unexpected trouble. You might have a fight or an argument with one of your visitors, but -” you paused for dramatic effect - “I can also see a hammer and what you thought to be a triangle is a pyramid. Both of these symbols tell me you will overcome the problem and have peace in the end.”

San’s mouth shaped into an o as his eyes switched between your profile and the cup. He was fascinated by the things you were able to read in this. “How soon will all of this happen?”

You hummed in thought. “I’d say quite soon. All of it could start within a week.”

“Is there”, San hesitated, his urge to know more, to learn more felt almost overwhelming, “is there more you can tell me?”

“Not from the tea leaves, love. I could offer you tarot cards?” You already reached for your deck without him having answered yet. With swift motions you mixed the cards before fanning them out. “Pick five cards.”

San’s hand hovered over the cards, moving from side to side. He carefully pulled his five cards, placing them face up on the table: 8-Strength, Page of Swords, King of Cups, 18-The Moon and Knight of Pentacles.

“Hmm, I think the moon refers to the dispute with your friend. Aside from that you seem like a real catch, aren’t you?” You laughed softly when San made himself smaller and rubbed the back of his head again, shyly looking away. “You’re a curious one, prying eyes that tell the truth. It might mean you check up on someone without them knowing. You’re also confident, hard-working, patient and in good health.”

San was glued to your lips, soaking in every word you told him. 

“And lastly the king of cups tells me you will be a good father and husband, showing empathy and tolerance.”

“I’ll be a father one day?”

You chuckled softly at his wide eyes and hopeful expression. “And a good one, I’m sure of it.”

San grinned at the thought, drifting into a daydream of his future. He traced the outline of the king with his hand, when another thought crossed his mind. “What about palm reading? Can you do that too?” He looked at you, his heartbeat accelerating at the idea to get even more insight to his future.

A smirk played over your lips as you got even closer to his body and grabbed one of his hands, turning it so the palm faced upwards. “Oh, what strong hands.” You let your nails trail over some lines, tapping his skin here and there. Every time you noticed something, you explained the meaning.

San felt a pleasant shiver roll down his back when you trailed your nail from his palm down to his wrist and lower arm. Even with all the details you provided him with, he yearned for more. A nagging feeling in the back of his mind, wanted to get a special reading - a reading only he could get.

You looked up from his hands and into his face, noticing the furrowed brows he had from being deep in his thoughts. “There’s something else on your mind.”

San flinched, his eyes widening and his heartbeat quickening yet again. “I, uh.”

“You can tell me, love.” You placed a hand on his chest, feeling his firm muscles underneath your palm. “I know you want something from me.”

His eyes dropped to your lips and went back up to your eyes. “Well, I, uh, is there a possibility to get a special reading? Something not everyone who enters gets?”

Ever so slowly you stood up, humming and mumbling under your breath as you walked over to the entrance door and closed it. Your hand rested on the door knob for a moment longer. “There is one thing I could offer you. Are you certain you want it though?”

“Yes! Yes, absolutely, I am certain!” San pressed his hands on the table and slightly pushed himself up. For a second it crossed his mind that he appeared a little too eager but it quickly vanished again.

You turned around and leaned against the door, crossing your arms in front of your chest and tilting the head to one side. “It would involve for you getting rid of your pants.”

San already grabbed his waistband before he halted his movements and looked back up at you, uncertainty shimmering in his eyes.

You cooed softly and moved back to him, swinging your hips sensually from side to side with every step. Once you reached him, you let your hand brush from his left shoulder to his right, before you plopped down next to him again. “This is all up to you. It is your choice, love.”

“I want it.”

Despite having said that, San didn’t move. Instead he stared at his hands, noticing a slight tremble to them. This was kind of crazy after all. Still, he appreciated that you patiently waited for him.

Soon enough San found enough courage and unbuckled his belt, opening his pants and pushing them slightly down.

“It truly was fate”, you whispered with a smile, upon seeing the purple stripes of his boxers. “You were supposed to come here today.” You helped him push his pants even further down, quickly followed by his boxers.

San had to force himself to stay still, wanting nothing more than to squirm underneath your gaze. He definitely wasn’t used to someone only looking at his crotch without touching it immediately. 

You wrapped your fingers around his shaft, feeling his dick pulsating with desire. While his length was average, the thickness of his cock nearly made you drool. “The gods really blessed you”, you mumbled, forcing yourself to look back up at his face.

San’s dick twitched from hearing those words and the fog of desire clouding his brain momentarily lifted due to the curiosity overwhelming him. “How can you tell?”

Your gaze dropped back down to his crotch as you scoffed in amusement. “I can tell you’ll have a healthy life ahead of you.” Your thumb circled the red tip of his circumcised cock. “I can see fortune in your future as well. It may be in love or in wealth, could even be in both.”

You let go of his dick again, raising your hand with your palm facing upwards. “Spit.”

San barely even hesitated before he spit into your hand, watching how you wrapped your hand back around his shaft and pumped him a few times to spread the liquid. 

The anticipation of hearing his future from your reading added to the lust coursing through his veins. San bit down on his lower lip, his eyes nearly closing from the sensations taking over. A choked moan escaped his throat and almost belatedly a thought crossed his mind.

“Wait”, he breathed out, blinking heavily to regain some composure. “You didn’t answer my question.” His voice nearly turned into a whine when the realisation hit him. “I wanna know what made you see all this.”

You chuckled again, amused by his desperation and cuteness. “Don't worry, pretty boy. All in due time.” You placed one hand on his toned chest, getting a feel of the curves of his muscles as you pushed him to lie down. For a second you pictured riding him, ripping his shirt open and letting your hands wander all over his chiselled chest. You shook your head, ridding yourself of these thoughts. 

San stared at you with almost pleading eyes, shivering ever so slightly when you moved your hand up and down his thick shaft. 

“The girth tells me about your wealth”, you whisper as you lean down and blow some air over the tip of his cock. “Like I said, you will come into great fortune.” You hummed softly, using your thumb to press down on the small slit. “While being circumcised isn’t always a choice of your own, it’s still able to tell me a lot about the bonds you built and will build in your life.”

“What does it say?” San whimpered softly, bucking his hips into your hand. 

“Friends come and go in your life but the bond with your family is a strong one. Those, who you consider family, are incredibly close to you.” When you lifted your thumb a string of precum connected it to his dick. Without hesitation you leaned further down, replacing your thumb with your tongue. You pressed the tip into his slit, seeking the sweet taste.

San’s head dropped backwards again, the feeling of your tongue making him delirious. 

“Your sweet pre-cum predicts your future love life.” You circled your tongue around the head of his cock, savouring his low moans. “You will find your one true soulmate. You might even have found them already but the realisation hasn’t settled in yet.”

San barely registered your words, becoming completely unable to respond in any way but low whimpers when you descended on his dick. Your lips wrapped around his shaft while your tongue glided over his skin from side to side. 

You bobbed your head deliberately in a slow pace, hollowing your cheeks every now and then. 

“Please”, San begged in a low voice, his whole body shaking already, “please, don’t stop.” He wanted to thrust up into your wet cave but you quickly pushed his hips down again and removed your lips from his dick with a loud pop.

You teasingly wagged your finger, telling him no. Once you were certain he wouldn’t move his hips again, your hands glided along his sides to tease him further. You rolled out your tongue and flattened it, pressing it against the underside of his cock and trailing it along the prominent vein. As soon as your mouth reached his tip, you quickly enveloped it again, loving the weight of it on your tongue.

San’s eyes rolled to the back of his skull, the pleasure overwhelming him. His lips parted and soft moans and whimpers spilled into the air. Your movements brought him to his release sooner than he anticipated.

You noticed his dick throbbing the closer he got to his release. You pulled your head away, opening your mouth and rolling your tongue out while jerking him off for the last bit.

A few moments later and hot, white cum shot into your awaiting mouth. The thick ropes quickly filled up your hole, some already spilling out at the corner of your lips. 

You swallowed his cum, licking your lips clean afterwards. “Healthy”, you whispered with a small chuckle, watching San still splayed across all your pillows.

His chest moved rapidly up and down while he came down from his high. A soft grin adorned his features, highlighting a dimple in his cheek. 

“Are you satisfied with your reading?” You leaned over him with a curious look in your eyes. You reciprocated the grin, noticing how dazed he still seemed to be. “I do hope you’ll be able to get home safely.”

San could only nod at your statement, blissed out from his orgasm. He barely realised how his body began moving again, making himself presentable, saying his goodbye and walking out of the caravan and back to his home. San honestly didn’t remember much from his way back home - not even how he opened the door to his shared apartment.

He only came to when four pairs of eyes stared at him with different degrees of worry. 

Wooyoung had noticed his spaced out state the second San came home. Both him and Yunho stopped their game mid-play and started questioning their friend but to no avail. Hence why they called for backup.

Hongjoong and Jongho came over soon after they got called, getting comfortable in the living room where the others were.

“Are we having a party I forgot about?” San asked, furrowing his brows in thought as he tried remembering. 

“More like a health check. You were totally out of it when you got home”, Wooyoung told him, tilting his head as he observed his roommate. “You didn’t react to us at all.”

San chuckled softly and rubbed the back of his neck. “Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to worry you guys.” He looked down at the ground, his memories still so fresh. “I just had the best divination of my life.”

A small pout formed on his lips when the others started laughing out loud at first. Though soon enough they realised how serious San was about this and the questions came naturally.

As San retold his afternoon at the travelling carnival and the divination he received, Wooyoung and the others listened with interest.

“You can’t tell me some cards and wet tea leaves are the reason you were so out of it”, Jongho scoffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. 

Quickly the rest of the guys agreed with him, pressuring San to spill everything.

While at first reluctantly, San eventually told them from the special procedure of telling his future.

“So you basically got the best head of your life by a stranger”, Yunho grinned mischievously, amused he learned about San’s kinkiness.

“It’s not that!” San protested immediately. He tried convincing them that your predictions made sense and were true - especially once he remembered the predictions of the tea leaves.

“The fortune teller knew you would visit me today! They told me I’d be the bearer of good news!”

“Oh, hearing you got your dick wet, definitely is some good news”, Hongjoong snickered, elbowing his friend teasingly.

“You think we could get that special fortune telling as well before the carnival leaves town again?” Wooyoung thought out loud, tapping his chin in the process. “I might even wanna bring someone along to the session.” He chuckled darkly, his grin twisting with mischief.

Jongho scoffed again, shaking his head in disbelief. “Don’t tell me, you actually believe that happened.”

“Only one way to find out.”

I am willing to give you or anyone else on tumblr the skills and advice the helped me get my dream job

the idea of working for TEK a few months ago would just be a fantasy

my background in education is English. I learned what I know now on my own and only by random chance.

This is why I am so critical of the linux commumity on tumblr.

They're tagging themselves as -official when they can't provide casual end user support.

They're entirely too horny to be in this sphere. Computers and linux should not be about how much you want to fuck/be fucked by X

it will deter end users

This is very cool that you will help other tumblr users with this stuff; i may actually take you up on this at some point :3

(my tone here is /g, /pos, /nm, /lh)

I do, however, kind of disagree with the other points. I think that for any other social media it's correct, twt or fb does not have the culture to make these sorts of parody accounts viable or not-counter-productive to increasing the linux market share. But I don't think that tumblr is the same.

I think that tumblr does. I think the tumblr community has always been this somewhat ephemeral yet perpetual inside joke culture where almost every user is in-the-know, and new users to the joke are able generally able to catch on quickly to it due to their general understanding of they way tumblr communities operate.

IMO, it's a somewhat quick pipeline of:

\> find first "x-official" blog -> assume it's real -> see them horny posting about xenia -> infer that RH corporate would probably not approve of such a blog

I can appreciate that it might be intimidating to seek out help as a new linux user, and especially a new linux & tumblr user, but looking through these blogs, you do see them helping out people ^^. heck, my last post was helping someone getting wayland working on an nvidia system.

The main goal of these blogs is not to be a legitimate CS service to general end-users. they aren't affiliated with the software their blog is named after, so in many cases they *cant*. The goal is instead to foster a community around linux, creating a general network of blogs of the various FOSS projects that they enjoy.

I think that final sentiment, of these blogs detering end users, is most likely counter to their actual effect on end users who are considering switching to linux.

We all know a lot of tumblr is 20 or 30 something year olds who have just stuck around since ~2012ish, and new users to tumblr join with pre-existing knowledge of the culture and platform. Almost anyone coming across these blogs are going to be people who can see the "in" joke, and acclimate. I do highly doubt that a random facebook mom who's son convinced her to install mint on her old laptop would find tumblr, find a -official blog, scroll through said blog, and be detered from using mint.

The other side of this is that any tumblr users who come across these blogs, be it with an inkling of desire to switch to linux or not, will see a vibrant and active community that fits very well into the tumblr community. They remember, or have heard of, the amtrac & OSHA blogs, and are therefore probably aware that this is a pre-existing meme on here.

In all likelyhood, this will probably further incentivize them to make the switch, as they would be more attracted to a community of their peers over a community of redditors telling them to read the arch wiki repeatedly

I can, on the other hand, definitely see that for people who have difficulties with parsing tone, and especially sarcasm, would have trouble with this. TBH, I have these difficulties (hence when I was speaking to you yesterday I used the /unjerk indicator, as I couldn't tell what the tone of the conversation was), and so it took me a little while of being in this weird "I'm 99% sure these *aren't* official, but what if?". I have been there forI think that maybe being more transparent with the fact that the blogs are parodies is probably important. I'm guilty of this, and after i post this, i'll add it to my bio.

SET TWELVE - ROUND ONE - MATCH SEVEN

"Rowan Leaves and Hole" (1987 Andy Goldsworthy) / "Untitled" (2023 - Birgitte @prisonhannibal)

ROWAN LEAVES AND HOLE: one summer, I took an art course, not that I can find the name right now. But the theme was art and nature, and the thing I remember most from that course is the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy has two modes of operation: drystone walls for permanent installations, sometimes winding across the landscape and sometimes just existing, and ephemeral art. Sculptures made of icicles, that only last until the sun melts it, leaves placed carefully until the wind blows them away or the current takes them away to be marvelled at, branches interwoven so delicately it seems unlikely they'd survive long enough to even be photographed. Rowan Leaves And Hole is one of my favourites (not THE favourite but i can't find a title OR date for that one) because the riot of colours are so carefully gradiented and then it Ends. What made the middle black? How long did these leaves stay there? We'll never know. And unlike the rock sculptures, these felt like something I could do. That was inspiring. (@kaerran)

UNTITLED: It was painted in March 2023 when there were large protest in Norway against the Norwegian government about wind farms that had been erected illegally on lands of the indigenous Sámi people, and the Norway government was not doing anything about it even though even the European courts had ruled the wind farms illegal. The painting is a selfportrait of the artist (who is Sámi herself) putting on her gákti (traditional Sámi clothing) inside out, which is a traditional sign of resistance or disagreement. As of the time of this submission the Norwegian government has not acted to correct the situation, and the violation of indigenous people's rights continues in Norway. (@inariedwards)

("Rowan Leaves and Hole" is an art piece by Andy Goldworthy. It consists of found leaves arranged into a sculpture and photographed. Goldsworthy is known for his ephemeral land art.

The second artwork is a piece done by @prisonhannibal on tumblr.)
