#even when you're piss poor at playing the recorder it's still fun to play!!! when it sounds bad it makes you laugh!

[i-like-media]

Y'know I started playing the recorder for shits and giggles bc I'm going to dress up as the 2nd Doctor for a con, but this instrument is actually so fun and addicting.

Like 2 was actually so right for whipping out a recorder the moment he has to wait around for more than 5 seconds. I'll be outside somewhere understimulated as hell and severely craving the toot of my flute too.

Friends Like That || Kenny McCormick x Reader

note: characters are aged up

"So, yeah."

"What assholes, aren't they supposed to be your friends?"

"I mean I understand, but..."

"It's still shitty."

"Yeah." Kenny's voice was somehow even softer through the phone.

He had called you because Stan, Kyle, and Eric were going to see a new movie that came out, but they only paid for their own ticket and they were way too expensive. Naturally, Eric rubbed it in his face of how poor he was.

You offered to see it with him and you would pay for both tickets, but he declined. He didn't want you to waste your money on him just because his friends were being a little mean.

"Wanna come over?" You asked after a minute or two of silence.

"Sure," he mumbled. "It'll beat hanging out with those guys."

Suddenly, you caught yourself blushing at the thought he would prefer hanging out alone with you than with the guys.

"Of course it will, and we can shove it in their faces that we had more fun than them!"

His laugh sounded through the phone. Oh how you wish you were recording this conversation so you could hear his genuine, gentle laughter whenever you wanted to.

"It always does, Y/N." He was glad you couldn't see him, his grin was so wide that his cheeks were beginning to hurt.

"Good." He could almost hear your little smile through the call. "I'll see you in a few minutes, Kenny."

"See ya." With that, he hung up.

Quickly, you scrambled to tidy up your cosy apartment before he arrived: cleaning dishes, and putting them away; picking up dirty clothes; and wiping down any surface. Even you were shocked at how you accomplished so much in so little time.

With perfect timing, the doorbell rang.

You happily opened the door to reveal none other than Kenny, who stood over you with a subtle smile that widened at the sight of you.

"Hey, Kenny."

"Hey, Y/N."

"Are you going to come in or just stay out in the corridor?" You laughed as you waited for him to come in.

"What if I did just stay out there?" He retorted, slipping off his jacket and hanging it up.

"I don't think it would be very fun, you idiot." You playfully pushed him.

"Why would I stay out there anyways?" He began. "Hanging out with you is way more fun. In any situation, I would rather be with you than anyone else." He shrugged and lightly pushed you back.

You were just going to pretend you didn't hear that for the sake of your heart. That was, until he kept rambling.

"Especially if the choice is between you and the guys. I can't believe those guys, I mean why would they invite me and wait for me to meet them before telling me how much the tickets were, especially if they weren't going to pay." He was obviously still annoyed, and you couldn't blame him. "That's the thing! I would have paid if they told me it was gonna cost more, but they really just pissed me off so much."

After setting up the console so you could play all your shared favourite games, you sat on the sofa next to him and gave him a sympathetic look while he stared straight ahead.

"Man, fuck those guys anyways." You scoffed, starting to feel angry on his behalf.

"It's not all too bad," he said and turned his head to finally look at you. "I mean that did lead me here with you, after all."

He wants you. So bad.

The entire situation has made him fed up, and he wants nothing more than to make you his partner.

Neither of you realised how close the two of you were. Your faces, and lips, were inches apart.

"I'm glad you ended up here, I always am when you come over." You whispered, stealing a glance at his lips.

"I'm always glad to come over, Y/N."

You could hear your heart beating in your own chest. Is this really going to happen?

"Y'know, you're always welcome, Kenny." You decided to press a quick kiss to his cheek and pulled back.

He was at a loss for words, but you could tell it was a good decision by the deep blush on his face and the stars in his eyes.

"C'mere." He smiled, leaned in more, and cupped your cheeks softly, before gently kissing you on the lips.

When you both pulled away, you were staring at each other in a comfortable silence before he broke it again.

"This is way better than being with the others!"

I went to the Globe!!! It was a surreal starstruck moment when I first walked in and I could not wrap my head around how small it is; it feels like being at an intimate local theatre because you're so close to the stage wherever you are in the audience but it's the fucking Globe

The current As You Like It is spectacular, extremely fun, extremely silly, extremely joyful. I had the BEST fucking time and all the flaws in it were due to the text itself not the production (the rushed ending section pisses me off every time but you just have to accept its issues as part of the charm and uniqueness of the play.) I adored every member of the cast especially the Rosalind, Orlando and (a very camp, yet somehow still in character) Jaques, my uncontested favourite character in the play.

I really really hope a recording of this production goes out somewhen because I would love for the world to be able to see it. I wish I could direct all of you to a way to watch it but nope, you've just got to get yourself to London (I live Many hours away from the city myself so this is an amazing opportunity for me).

Also, this particular evening's performance was a little "special" in that the actor playing Silvius couldn't make it and he had no understudy, but someone from the Globe company stepped in and honestly did an amazing job performing his lines even though he had to read them off a script and even joined in with choreography, I was really impressed. But anyway, though it was completely unintentional, it's actually hilariously fitting for Silvius to be played by a last-minute stand-in because the poor sucker is just a very unfortunate and "second choice" kind of character so I genuinely think it improved the experience 😁 The other cast members had a couple of really funny ad-lib lines about him being a stand-in too lol ("he doesn't even have a costume!")

Overall 11/10, so so so worth standing for 2 1/2 hours after already being on my feet for the entire day!

Going back to the Globe for Macbeth tomorrow 😍😍😍 Funnily enough the Scottish play has always been one of my less favourites but I cannot WAIT to see Lady Macbeth having her epic girlboss / breakdown moments live on stage!!!

Sweet Christing Hell, Time Slow Down a Bit

Here we are again, got another 10 in the pipe (i don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

A nice, simple one, wiv a good set of material choices to make up for a bit of a paucity in decoration. The gameplay is relatively smooth, keeping a good flow aside from a few overly tight jumps early on, and a bit of unclear player communication toward the end. A good use of the four or five minutes it'll take to clear.

Chronos loves this one, and i do like it well enough, i guess; though i find the pacing to be a little bit on the plodding side. i appreciate that the environment, tho' LBP1 kludgy, is actually cohesive. Like, you're in a factory, and it goes from base materials to final product, and that's actually kind of neat. The total lack of music does make things a little eerie, too, which was pretty cool.

This is a level i wish i could go back and lay in base LBP, because the translation to LBP3 really doesn't do it many favours. Still, i really liked the idea of making each scene discrete, wiv its own little platforming or puzzle challenge. i wonder if it was intended to be a group play kind of deal, because that elevator ride at the beginning doesn't give you any time for the stickering that seems expected. Also, while the boss was definitely neat, it drags on forever, it feels like.

We talked about this one last week, and i don't really have more to say except Neptune seems like a really nice kid, and i wish him well wiv his endevours. Honestly, i've been super lucky as far as YouTube comment interactions, but even wiv that, Neptune's been both kind and interested, and that means an awful lot.

Oh, i do remember one thing about the video i need to own up to, i accidentally wrote the publish date as December 14th, 2023, which is what happens when you've got too much going on and no one to give your videos an editing pass but you.

This is a neat one that i wish had a bit more to do in it. i've been a sucker for cardboard as a building material since day one, and seeing what atriku8040's done wiv it is super impressive. But at the end of the day, there really isn't anything to do here. One more editing mistake to mention, in the video the name is written as ダンボーロ instead of ダンボール because i am a loser, and now that's forever.

i was so pissed when i noticed. Which was, of course, too late to correct.

This one's cute, even if, again, there really isn't much going on in it. It was neat how they got the actual metro announcement in the level; don't know how gomafuomo pulled that off wivout the recording being total pants. It took me a couple of seconds to realize, "wait, i know that announcement. i've ridden that train."

It would probably be unseemly for me to mention here that i don't like Akihabara at all. i'm a geek, but i'm not really that kind of geek, and there's nothing that Akihabara does that Osaka's Den-den town doesn't do wiv more charm and far less walking. Think i'm always going to be an Osaka gal, me.

This one looks real pretty, but boy did it need another couple of good passes through playtesting and gameplay polish. Communication wiv the player is pretty poor throughout, and it's easy to get yourself lost in the crufting; and some of the jumps are just awkward (tho' some of that is definitely on me, i've never found jumping onto platforms moving through layers to be particularly intuitive). It's a real shame, because i see a lot of the Wedding kit being used for general "scary" levels, but i rarely see anyone leveraging it as a theme, and it's one i really do like a lot.

What to say about this one? It's a simple little LBP1 jam. It's got fire, it's got ice (glass), it's got a race wiv some fiddly jumps onto slippery ice (glass). It's not not fun, and i understand that's not exactly high praise, but it's hardly the worst feeling you could leave a level wiv.

i like this one. i think i like this one more than Thin Lines of Neon Lights. The verticality helps, and the feeling that your're just zipping along. Plus, Neptune changed the hamster wheel to actually do something based on my review, and folx, when i tell you i was honestly touched.

Holy crap, folx, this one tho'. i've mentioned before there seemed to be a couple of particular styles we'd see in the LBP2 era. You'd have your natural-y types, usually wiv a certain material set and often some gratuitous hookshot action; your weird cartoon-ish worlds wiv real blocky construction, expressive puppets, and meme-adjacent humour; and then you'd get, every now and then, something like this. Fiddly mechanical design wiv lots of movement and the level shifting and building itself as you go along, and holy shite, but this is a top-notch example of that style. i don't know if it's koknsun's best, but it is the best of theirs that i've played (although, that being said, some of their levels, like Hokusai's Soul are broken in LBP3; so that might be a touch unfair).

So that's another ten down, and we're up to 50episodes, and that's kind of a wow. i'd intended to put together a hub level wiv 10 i particularly liked from the set (not, perhaps, the 10 best, because i'm terrible at judging that kind of thing). That's still in the works, and actually pretty close to being done; just need to do a couple of passes to make sure the mechanical elements are working right and consistently, and then go through decorating and putting in music. Wiv luck it should be up sometime this week, or next Wednesday at the latest.

PARTY FAVOURS I CHAPTER 15

first time reader - click here

TW/SUMMARY: Is bad humour a trigger? Cards against humanity. Loki in the wild. Chaotic Tony, chaotic Reader. Team bonding, a gag chapter lmao

My beta is babey 🥺 @miscmarvelwritings

If someone had bothered to ask me what kind of relationship I had with Tony, it would've made my brain glitch. In the weeks we spent fucking, sciencing and hanging out with the Avengers, it never once crossed my mind. We had fun and it was easy. Unlike both of our lives, it didn't require much mental energy for us to get what we wanted from each other. For me, it was easier to ignore my skin aching for Tony when he was already spending so much time on me. I wasn't sure if it would ever be enough, really, so taking exactly as much as he was giving was my best bet.

We built things in his workshop with Pete by our side and it wasn't awkward. The spiderling said he was happy as long as we were happy and didn't mind it too much when Tony got handsy. The man had at least some morals and stuck to kisses, ass-slaps and lewd comments which made Peter snort and fake-retch sure, yet the boy never displayed any real discomfort. It was endearing. He really became the little brother I never thought I would have.

The sex was fantastic, to say the least. We fucked on just about every flat surface on the residential floors. Steve caught us once, although I am almost hundred percent sure Tony staged it all on purpose. The good Captain didn't even blush, instead just silently closed the door behind him as I stared in his face, gripping Tony's head with my thighs.

The weather grew dreary yet both of my parents still stayed out of New York. Mother went back to Canada and dad continued his never-ending party on the West Coast, conquering California and living his best life. My house was dark and cold, and I started hanging around the tower more often than ever. If I wasn't with Tony, I was busy catching up Wanda and Bucky on pop culture, teaching Thor how to bake cakes and doing other meaningless, domestic stuff. The Avengers tower bustled with life at all hours and there always was someone...

I never felt lonely. It was such an unusual experience. Comfort and reassurance was always one room away. Be it Thor with his gratuitous amount of physical affection or his brother's incredibly witty, dark humor, I never had to stay one-on-one with my thoughts for too long.

Personally witnessing Bruce's coming out of his shell was the highlight of my life, no lie. I was so used to the quiet, mousy Banner that my brain refused to acknowledge his amazing sense of humour at first; I wasn't sure if he was joking or ... Or what? Truth to be told, Brucie-bear was as snarky as Tony,Loki and Stephen. The sorcerer had started visiting more often too, under the guise of tutoring Wanda, but all of us saw the way he lingered in the communal areas after their study time came to an end.

If loneliness was a sickness then the tower's inhabitants and frequent visitors were beginning their recovery journey.

"Have you guys heard about Cards Against Humanity?" I asked one evening once the movie credits began rolling. Wanda was squished into my side with her legs in her brother's lap; Clint laying atop both siblings like the trash bag that he was. And I meant it fondly.

On the other side of me, I had Bucky and Loki, who had begun to discuss their respective collections of sharp and pointy things once they deemed the movie lacked action. Legally Blonde and action, did they really think..? Nevermind.

"Yes, and if you're offering, the answer is yes," Clint mumbled, reaching for his second pack of Cheetos.

We gathered in a circle as I brought the shoebox that had the original deck plus a couple of expansions. This was beginning to look interesting. "So, I have the special Avengers edition right there..."

"Say no more," Clint even abandoned his snacks. "But I'mma put on the episode of Lucifer I missed. Multitasking," He winked, wrestling the remote from Pietro. We waited patiently as they finished the obligatory round of horsing before settling down for the game.

I explained the rules of the game, choosing to disregard Loki's scoffing and Wanda's doubt about the quality of the humor in the game. We played a few rounds with me explaining some of the deeper pop culture references. At a point where all of us were engrossed, laughing and poking fun at each other, more of the Avengers parked themselves on the couch.

Stephen, Tony and Bruce evidently had been sciencing, all three men having had their safety goggles perched forgotten atop their heads. Sam, Natasha and Steve - probably sparring. All three of them brought the smell of soap and laundry detergent to the room. All of the newcomers observed us with mild interest, periodically glance at the TV.

It was Wanda's turn to be the card Czar. I had to take a moment to finish my last giggling fit.

"Okay, the white card goes..." She paused dramatically. "I never truly understood blank until I encountered blank." With that, she poked the timer app on her phone. The sixty second countdown began.

I did a quick inventory check. Then I snorted. I had to quickly stuff two knuckles in my mouth, biting down, to attempt to silence the hysterical fit of laughter I was on the brink of. Loki was definitely going to stab me but the opportunity was too good to pass. No fear, we die like men.

"Ooh, she's got something," Clint teased, having noticed my shaking shoulders.

The timer beeped. Naturally, Loki went first. He wore a mildly disgusted smirk. "I never truly understood parting the red sea until I encountered third base," The trickster caved and began chuckling.

Somewhere behind me, Sam and Tony began cackling while Stephen and Steve groaned loudly in mild distaste.

"Press F to pay respects," Pietro clapped Loki on the shoulder with a sympathetic chuff. "I raise you - I never truly understood licking things to claim as your own until I encountered the clitoris," The young avenger struggled through laughter, followed by everyone else this time.

"That's a keeper, ladies," Sam's rich baritone quipped.

I laughed along, inwardly preparing for the inevitable. "Yikes," I whispered, side-eyeing Loki. "I never truly understood daddy issues..." I trailed off, hearing Bucky and Steve beginning to tease Tony. "... Until I encountered Loki, the trickster God."

The room drowned in a sea of laughter, Tony and Clint busting a gut so hard they fell over. Said trickster God was less than amused, however, glaring in my direction with the force of a pissed off bee swarm.

"Ow, that's cold, Princess, that's just cold," Clint squeezed out.

"Loki," I abandoned my stack of cards, crawling over Pietro and Bucky on all fours, settling prettily on my knees in front of Loki. Making my very best puppy eyes. "I love you, with all my cold black heart. And you're technically the patron saint of fun and shit, so that means you must approve of this very clever joke," I pouted, batting my eyelashes.

"Baby girl, I think you're laying it on too thick," Tony gasped, slumping on the couch, holding his sides. Everyone kept laughing, now at my feeble attempt at placating the upset Loki.

Who, by the way, looked a bit spooked. Subtly but surely, the raven-haired Asgardian leaned away from me.

"Don't be mad, I'm too cute to be mad at," I finally snorted, pat-pat-patting him on the shoulder. "It's okay, you can join my club. We have hot old dudes and cookies."

That broke it. First, the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, Loki looked away. I saw the storm before it crashed; with a weird noise of his own and his cheeks puffed out, Loki joined in on the shit-fest, howling full volume and doubling over. I followed suit, until all of us were writhing around on the floor. We'd stop and then someone would make another remark and it would go into another round again.

"Menace," Loki scoffed at me, smiling. "And for the record, the hottest old dude, as you put it, would be me." That said, he went back to calmly waiting for his next turn. "I'm about a thousand years old."

"Thor's older," Bruce noted thoughtfully.

Loki scoffed. "That man cannot chew with his mouth shut. If that's considered attractive, I'm leaving this forsaken planet."

That struck a thought within me. One that was brewing a long time, to be honest. "Thor is the god of himbos," I said with the same tone as "Eureka!".

"Shit, you're right," Sam exclaimed, following with another, weaker fit of laughter meanwhile Bruce had to be the one explaining the term to the poor, poor, clueless members of the Avengers.

I need to find a way to award them some kind of points for learning the gen-z lingo. "Patrick" stars maybe, since they lived under a fucking rock?

"Princess, never a boring day with you around. You don't half-ass this shit," Tony's warmth reached me as he shuffled around on the couch, sitting directly behind me. I leaned my back against his legs.

"I'm not a clown," I shot back. Tony stiffened. Dramatically flailing my hand I announced: "I am the whole god-damn circus!"

As the game progressed, we found out that Clint was That Guy - meaning, the dude every CAH group had, the one who grossly overused the "Bees?!" card and made Star Wars references whenever humanly possible. The only even slightly funny joke was about a lightsaber up the ass, in the end all of us finding out that Bucky knew a little too much about modern sex toys - "Hey, I saw one on Amazon, I'll send you the link, Birdman" - to Steve's open-mouthed horror.

What Loki lacked in references he made up in wit. The play on "During sex, I like to think about genetically engineered supersoldiers" had Bucky scrambling to switch places with Wanda whilst Loki himself was attempting to shoot bedroom eyes at Steve. It was a mess.

Bucky's own play had Steve abandon all pretense at being in any way appropriate as he struggled for air. "The Avengers new rules prohibit using Mjölnir as a dildo." Me and Tony became somewhat of a messy guffawing octopus of limbs for a moment after the super-soldier said it.

"Don't. Tell. Thor!" Strange gritted out, hiding his laughter behind a palm, uncharacteristically having lost his stuffy attitude. By god's will the man was attractive when he smiled.

As time ticked, each one of the starting players had attracted a newcomer. There weren't enough cards for everyone to play (Tony had, of course, ordered additional ones but they wouldn't arrive until the next day) so people kind of whispered and pointed at what they thought would fit.

Natasha conspired with Wanda, Sam went to his bird-bro, Bruce was forcefully dragged by Bucky to his side. Surprisingly, Steve teamed up with Loki which made Pietro stick his nose up in the air and promptly declare he needed no backup.

I already had Tony on my side. The genius wasn't of much help, however, he simply annoyed me out of my skull by randomly giggling and making immature jokes. It should've alarmed me that Stephen was eager to join me and Tony - usually he just butted heads with anyone who had any opinion whatsoever.

I was left bewildered upon discovering the wizard liked drama as much as the Kardashian clan and was quite competitive at causing the most shit.

My clown crown felt threatened.

"This one," Tony poked at a card in my hand.

"If you think that's funny, your intellect is obviously overestimated." Stephen dismissively waved a hand. "This one," It was unmistakable whom the trembling finger belonged to. It pointed at a card on the other side.

"Wizards are just hilarious," Tony seeped sarcasm.

"Try me, Beyonce," Stephen murmured darkly.

That was just background noise to me. I had all my undivided attention on the TV, my last two functioning brain cells focused on the scene unfolding right in front of me. The Lucifer episode, the devil and his insatiable thirst for honey. The timer buzzed but I was still drawn towards Tom Ellis dipping two of his fingers first in the honeypot, then in his mouth, all the while looking like a damn snack himself. Illegal. I've never simped so hard for a fictional character.

A golden glow snatched a card out of my grasp, levitating it.

"Girl, what the hell?" Wanda saw my face and attempted to revert me back to earth. "Someone turn off the TV, there's not enough water in the tower to quench her thirst."

"Hey, did you two just - don't ignore me!" Tony whined, managing to tug on my hair and attempt to reach for the card now held in Stephen's grasp, simultaneously.

"I don't blame her," Clint mused. "That right there is one very fine dude."

I shook my head, clearing any untoward thoughts. Focus. "First of all, Bird, you're a dude. That there," I pointed up at the TV. "Is a man. A Man." I emphasised, getting a jealous poke in the back from Tony. "Second of all..." I turned towards Stephen. "The quaffle, the snitch and the AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH!" The last of my sentence was pitched. The sorcerer had raised his arm, clutching the card, and I struggled to reach it.

"What... What did you just say?" Stephen was laughing, not at all phased by me climbing him like a tree to take hold of what's mine. Tony was actively helping - or, trying to. One-handed. The other hand attempted to snatch the rest of the cards from my grasp.

"And that's an F on teamwork," Bucky's sarcasm was complemented by Steve's famous Captain America Is Disappointed In You look.

"Uhh... Guys? What's going on?" Peter's timid voice leaked confusion.

"Hello, friends," Thor boomed, drowning out the boy's questioning noises.

"We're playing a game. Cards Against Humanity."

Wordlessly, Peter towed Thor along with him to find a spot amongst us. And even if Thor didn't get any of the references, he still was good fun. His laugh was infectious. The way he cheered for every winner was incredibly wholesome. Golden space puppy. The urge to immediately pet Thor and give him endless pop-tarts was strong in me.

Loki was one dramatic, vengeful bitch. "Women get turned on by the Devil himself"? I was ready to throw hands with the trickster. Everybody's laughter drowned out any cursing I might or might have not directed towards Loki who looked far too satisfied with himself. I was going to substitute the sugar for his tea with salt one day, mark my words.

I wouldn't admit it over my dead body, but the way he got back at me for the daddy issues joke was kinda funny. Okay, very funny. It was fucking hilarious. I admire a clever man.

[mashiraostail]

Hi! I hope you're having a good weekend so far!! ❤💖 I was just wondering what you think some of the UA teachers weird hidden talents would be! (Maybe just Toshinori, Aizawa and Hizashi if it's more convenient) Also I saw in your info that you're vegan, and I am too! We can swap recipes if you'd ever like some ideas!

OO omg I really liked this ask thanks for sending it in! I love funny useless talents so I did some extras because they are super fun to write! Also, ur pfp is so cute and funny and aw I’d def love to swap recipes sometime thank you!! Hc’s Under the cut! (lightly based off my friend group and our weird useless talents hehe)

Toshinori- He’s really good at checkers, the only person who can ever beat him is Nezu (and he said it was actually sort of a challenge), no one knows where this talent came from, it seems like one of the last things he’d be good at but he is, he’s even beaten Aizawa before. He’ll let you think you’re winning in the first half and then come through with some insane like quadruple jump, and beat you within 3-4 moves. Sometimes he’ll visit the students in their dorms and they all ask him to play every time. He likes playing Ochaco the most, she’s always so impressed with him winning so quickly that she doesn’t even notice all their matches play out exactly the same way every time. All that being said, he doesn’t really like chess and he’s not very good at it either. Once, Todoroki invited him to play a match, he knew he would lose so about five moves from his clear loss he started bouncing his legs to shake the table, said ‘oh no I think we’re getting an earthquake!’ and flipped the whole thing over. It was one of the first times he’s really seen Todoroki laugh let alone be the cause of it, and it’s in his top 5 proudest teacher moments.  Hizashi- He is Super double-jointed, uses it to gross Aizawa and Nemuri out all the time, it really makes Toshinori squirm the worst though. It’s in his elbows, shoulders, all of it, he’s just a twisty man. He can even do that weird thing where you just bend the tips of your fingers (Cementoss hates that most of all). He can also roll his tongue in all sorts of weird ways, if everyone is in the teachers’ lounge and no one pays attention to him for long enough he’ll contort into some weird shape that makes poor Toshinori so queasy he has to go for a walk. One time Bakugou and Denki walked in on him trying to gross out Aizawa and while Denki freaked out and fully thought Mic was possessed by a poltergeist or something, Bakugou had thought the two had gotten in some sort of fight that resulted in Aizawa breaking like half his English teacher’s bones. Bakugou for some unknown reason got very offended on Mic’s behalf and challenged Aizawa to a fight. Mic is still incredibly honored at how willing Katsuki was to take Eraser on for him. 

Aizawa- He can juggle, no one knows when, where, or how he learned but he’s insanely good at it. Like I’m talking 6-10 irregularly shaped objects while balancing on a rolly chair kind of good. He only did that once though, and he’ll never do it again. The only person who saw was Hizashi, he challenged Aizawa to it on his birthday while they were alone in the lounge and begged Aizawa to do it as his present, eventually, Aizawa relented and told him not to expect an actual gift from him (he still got two one). Hizashi told everyone about it and the staff is split 50/50 if they believe him or not. His only regret is not taking a photo. Sometimes Nemuri will leave 3-4 round objects on or around his workspace to see if he’ll start juggling them if he gets bored or fidgety. Aizawa notices and starts to yell at everyone, ‘do I look like a circus monkey to you?? I’m not here for your entertainment. Go read a book or something.’ Though it’s good for impressing kids (ie: Eri and Hitoshi). The only 1-A student to witness it so far is Kirishima and it was, in fact, to cheer him up (but Aizawa will never admit that). 

Nemuri- She’s amazing at Pig Latin and those other gibberish languages (Pigeon confuses people the most and it’s her favorite). The only people on the staff who understand her are Hizashi and Nezu and she had to spend hours teaching it to Hizashi. To say it pisses Hound Dog off when they do it would be the understatement of the year. The first time they did it in front of Toshinori he thought Nemuri was having a stroke and he called recovery girl. They’re using it one day in the halls and Mina runs over and joins their conversation perfectly. Denki also thought she was having some sort of stroke. Sometimes to piss the other students off Hizashi and Nemuri will give her some answers to classwork in pigeon and tell the other students it pays to be multilingual and they should try it sometime. Bakugou learns it because he’s pissed off, but won’t talk because he thinks it sounds stupid. Both Mina and Nemuri have explained it to Denki about 400 times but he can’t even understand them when they talk slow. Hizashi taught Iida because he thought it would be funny (he was right). Aizawa hates them for this. 

Sekijiro Kan (Vlad King)- Can stick so many metal spoons on his face. It just started with one, on his nose. He and Aizawa were bored one year at the summer training camp grading some work. He thought he’d just stick one on his nose for the sake of getting a chuckle and scoff out of Aizawa, this was before security got so tight and so the other pro’s made appearances too. Hizashi walked by, seemingly tired and uninterested, but then returned with a pile of spoons. The got all the way up to 10 once. (He fell asleep on a bus ride once and 1-B claims to have broken the record with 11 but there is no photo evidence of this “How didn’t you wake up?? We were being so loud!” “I dunno Kendo I guess I’m just a really deep sleeper.” He totally woke up but they seemed like they were having fun so he pretended to stay asleep so they could keep going. )

Ryo Inui (Hound Dog)- He can roller skate, don’t ask when, where or why he learned, he won’t tell you. He’s very good at it though.

[outgoing sms: management] yeah all i ever wanted was to be some man’s secret

jacob’s teeth grind down against each other, the familiar pain snaking around his jaws. daniel offered him something only marginally better than the life edward wanted for him. edward wanted jacob to be successful, to marry some poor milksop girl who would ignore his total lack of love for her, to somehow father children to carry on the hawke line. with daniel, he could indulge his sexuality, but only under cover of darkness.

[outgoing sms: management] you told me you were never taking me to the white house. where did you expect me to go [outgoing sms: management] you never begged in your life

oh, but jacob’s imagined it, can imagine it now. he’d have no time for daniel had he simpered and sighed after jacob. he needs the crash of angry mouths, hidden by elevator doors. he should be prepping for the cage later, should be eating chicken and rice and showering, resting his body and his mind. he could find some skinny boy with dark hair to bend over for him, but it’s never the same. there’s no bite.

[outgoing sms: management] my ex what. employer ? [outgoing sms: management] don’t play the victim with me. you’re the best i’ve had in a long time and you know it. you know my feelings like i know yours [outgoing sms: management] and i’ll never measure up to power

[outgoing sms: stupid man] i'm just some man now. 

well, that one stings. he wishes jacob would make up his mind and stop yanking daniel around on sixty different strings. he hates being pinocchio and wishes they could go back to when the opposite was true--daniel went and jacob followed, end of. 

[outgoing sms: stupid man] jesus christ, do you remember every single thing i ever said?  [outgoing sms: stupid man] i’m still pissed off but for the record, i feel the need to remind you that i have, in fact, begged. “new hamster” has skipped your mind, apparently. i’ll let it go because we were both very drunk and there was a lot of coke involved. [outgoing sms: stupid man] let me get this straight. i'm meant to throw my career in the garbage for the person i care about all because they asked me to. tell me how that makes a single gram of sense. you don't even like politics! and you're telling me you wanted to sit in on the meetings and decorate the white house and all that inane shit the first lady's meant to do? bullshit. you'd make a cock out of christmas lights and call it a day. [outgoing sms: stupid man] power isn't all it's cracked up to be, but i'm the only one who can do it. the votes cut it way too close with your old man and this country is a mess because of it. as much as i'd like to, not all of us can run away to italy when it suits us.

a knock on the partition signals they're back at the house and disrupts the beginning of his italy fantasies. he texts and walks, and the secret service dogging his heels is smart enough to not comment. 

[outgoing sms: stupid man] you say you know my feelings but you clearly don't. you're the one playing the victim, acting like i was some cruel overlord when all i did was fucking spoil you endlessly. maybe i changed my fucking mind about taking you along, did you ever think on that one? i'm sorry for not proposing marriage to protect your little feelings but you've never given a damn about how i feel so let's not be hypocritical, if our situations were reversed you’d have dumped me on the side of the road. i wish you weren't such a flighty idiot because this shit conversation is the most fun i've had in months and i'm so fucking bored and tired, but no, let's not think about how daniel feels, let's hop on a plane to another country!
