⋆.˚ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓. reticence - (n.) being quiet and not sharing thoughts easily. fluff. f!reader. established relationship. old married couple trope. reader doesn't use shishiba's name at all (we only know his lastname and as his wife, you'd use his first name). spoiler - free ! safe for minors ! crappy writing. osaragi and shishiba may seem ooc. heavily inspired by my love for yamada-kun at lvl 999.

　“MR. SHISHIBA, aren't you rather putting up with her?”

Osaragi ask with an indifferent expression painting her face as she continued to eat her pork cutlets with rice. The mentioned man looked up from his homemade lunch his black eyes drilling into her skull before sighing out and also continuing to eat without bothering her question, which resulted in her staring at him while he tried to eat his lunch, personally cooked by you, in peace.

"How come you're asking?" at the end, he gave up ignoring her.

"You're eating Gyudon..." she paused, her onyx eyes looking at the box.

Right. He ate Gyudon. What's wrong with that? It was a beef bowl consisting of thinly sliced fatty beef and onions in a lightly sweet mixture of mirin and soy sauce, accompanied by rice with a fried egg. "Aren't there onions in there?" she questioned further and knew damn right that Shishiba disliked onions, to a certain extent that you could even say, he totally hated onions.

"Ah..." he sealed his lips shut again, blinking at the realization.

To be honest, Shishiba doesn't know himself why he ate the lunch, containing onions. He was sure that his tastebuds definitely warned him about that already and despite warning, he continued to eat it. Maybe because it was you who cooked this delicious, to-die-for meal. Maybe it was the sweet smile you gave him while seeing him off. Maybe it was when he noticed that you woke up earlier to prepare him this.

"Because of [name]." he finally answered.

"You've grown soft." Osaragi closed her eyes and stuffed her mouth with the delicious pork cutlets. "Because of [name]..."

"It's mrs. Shishiba for you." he corrected her.

"[name] said I can call her by her first name."

"But I said mrs. Shishiba."

"[name]." a vein popped up on his forehead.

"That's it, I'm not bringing you another lunch cooked by [name]."

"I'm sorry."

While ignoring the pouting Osaragi, the chopsticks wandered to his mouth again. It wasn't that bad, barely being able to taste the onions.

'If I don't eat this up, she won't smile.'

"—Earth to you." it was your voice that snapped him out of his thoughts.

Your hand almost touched his face as you waved it side to side to get his attention with a curious gleam in your eyes. Suddenly, he surprised you by taking your wrist in his hand, his eyes still fixated on your slightly widened ones. "You good?" you asked, a sweatdrop rolling down your cheek and taking a little time to pull yourself together after getting surprised by him.

"Oh." he blinked, letting go of your wrist while hopping that it wouldn't leave any red marks.

"You startled me." you sprayed a small amount of the new perfume you were testing on to your wrist.

"Sorry." the short apology slipped out of his lips as he grabbed your wrist again, this time being more gentle, and took a quick sniff of the new scent you wore.

"I really like this one. How does it smell?" he stared at your smile — the one you always gave him around him.

"Smells like heaven."

He didn't exactly lie. You always good in his perspective. After all, you were the only good thing in his life and you'll continue being that as long as you two live. But truth to be told, the perfume itself was smothering, sweet. In a way that he found it distasteful. So he lied. Shishiba looked up again to see your face, your smile. Yeah. It didn't matter, because it didn't matter at all.

Unexpectedly, the smile faded slightly. "What's wrong?" it didn't sound like it, but his voice was laced with concern. Shishiba wasn't good at showing his feelings and thoughts, so others wouldn't even come up with the idea of him worrying about someone — not like he knew many people, his circle of acquaintances and friends is pretty small, almost nonexisting.

"Nevermind, I'd rather save my money" you said. He didn't understand.

"Let me buy it for you then." he suggested and was about to take one in the packaging, just for you to snatch it from his hand.

"I would rather not." you placed it back to it's place again.

"Why?" he raised an eyebrow at your sudden change of mind, watching you attentively as you turned your back to him to place the perfume to it's original place. "Thought you really wanted that."

"Because I changed my mind." you were a stern face on your face, your back still turned to him before your expression softened. "You didn't really like it."

"I did." the lie came out as if it was second nature of his.

"Don't think I'm that naive." you finally looked at him again with a smile. "I catch on to things like this!"

At the sight of your face, Shishiba couldn't help but return a small smile before you wrapped your arms around his to walk away from the perfume area. "And I would rather keep my natural scent." you admitted, leaning your head against his shoulder. "Ah by the way! Sorry for confusing the two lunch boxes. Did you throw it away or why was it empty when you came home?"

"I ate it."

"Never!" you gasped, looking at him again with a shocked face. "Don't lie!"

"I'm not." he sweatdropped. "I swear on you."

"Hey!" seems like you didn't take it in a good way. But it was all good when you laughed. "Let's cook dinner together."

"Sure." he closed his eyes for a second.

It was a smothering, sweet scent. Your smothering, sweet scent. And not a fake one created by other people. That was the only thing he focused on. Shishiba was the kind of person who'd stay quiet and not share his thoughts with others easily. And even though he was like that with you too, it didn't seem to be a problem. For you already know him like the back of your hand.

AS IF YOU'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR LIFE.

Happy Monday everyone!

Now that I'm not sick anymore I really feel like I have my life back. I had a very chilled weekend, so I'm feeling pretty refreshed. I spent all of Saturday evening baking sweet treats for the friends I play D&D with, and needless to say they were a hit! I have now been asked to bake for every single session, so if anyone has suggestions on what I should make next feel free to share! I have a lot of grown men to feed, apparently.

Today was a long but quite productive day. Performed a buffer exchange assay for the first time, absolutely fought for my life to run a gel that for some reason refused to run (I think it was leaking honestly...), and managed to write the entire discussion section of my upgrade report. Granted, I only wrote 1300 words, but that still feels pretty good for one day considering I also wasted some time fixing a figure for my results section. I think I'm on track to finish my first full draft of the report by the end of the week, which means I can give it a little proofread and then send it to one of the postdocs in my lab for corrections. I asked her to be harsh, but now I'm scared she's going to come back and say that I'm bad at writing, or something like that. I wonder why it's so hard to appreciate your own writing... I always feel like everything I say is pure nonsense! Imposter syndrome ftw, I guess.

In other big news, I've officially started my running journey! I managed to run 4.59km in just over 30 mins, which isn't nearly as terrible as I thought I would do for a complete beginner. I've created a plan for myself to slowly build up to a half marathon over the next few months, and I'm really really excited to see where all of this takes me. I know it's not study related, but it's certainly self-improvement which I do feel like has its place here. Anyway, I look forward to giving you guys updates!

Let's kill it this week guys! And good luck to all those who are back in school/uni now. You got this!

Speaking of BioShock Infinite, have I ever told you about that time I made a timeline of the BioShock series?

Tumblr made the image smaller so I’ve uploaded the original here :)

It’s far from being exhaustive because the reason I drew this in the first place was to make sure I really understood Infinite (the ending, especially) and Burial at Sea, so only the most significant and/or pivotal events are featured here. I later added some stuff from the other two games and the Minerva’s Den DLC after playing them. However, the novel BioShock: Rapture isn’t included because I haven’t read it (and it seems it’s generally not considered canon anyway).

I made this 8 years ago (with Paint, haha) but very recently translated it and made some adjustments so I could post it! I didn’t check everything I wrote because it’s been a while since I’ve really thought about the lore of BioShock, so I decided to trust my 2015 self and assume she knew what she was doing :’)

I absolutely love your Lackadaisy self-insert OC. I was just wondering; would you ever picture a musical dream/fantasy sequence with her and Rocky?

aww thank you, i'm glad you like her! 💕🌹💕

i have several songs in my Roari playlist i'd love to turn into animatics, yeah gdskgds one day maybe... ..

[not-the-coffee-machine4]

well I just finished Queen Unseen (I recommend) and am under the impression that the crew got into more wild stuff than the band did 💀

A somewhat nice story though was Ratty describing how in Japan sometimes they’d put live baby eels in the drinks (?????) and the bodyguards would bite the heads off the eels before eating them (?!?!?!????!!?!) and Brian was so horrified by that, that he would free his eels into the ornamental fountains and rivers and stuff 😭

hey, just wondering how did W1 come to be did V1 take mercy on V2, and scrapped their body into their own?

was it because V1 wanted to get more armored plating or find out how to make the cool robotics V2 does

the process seems to be gradual, so.... it was not a split second decision.

i'm excited to learn more about W1!

I am currently quite confident in HOW they came to be, but not how to share that information.

BUT BUT!! sneak peek!

W1's merge happens before in-game canon events!

It was not V1 that took V2 apart here. Quite the opposite.

I don't think V1 would care to take mercy on V2 in canon. But I do think V2 has the capability of doing someone wrong and feeling guilt. It's just a combination of how I view her personality + how she is more socialized due to being intended as a guard. So I am taking that concept and running with it.

V2 does something she regrets doing. And ends up trying to make up for it.

In whatever means she can manage.

i miss her…

Im running into the stage banging the floor demanding to know about the band au as you speak /hj

reveal yourself band au anon, I wish to know who you are cause you’ve allowed me to ramble

I haven’t figure it all out so this is kinda just spitballing ideas lol

Warning long ass post holy moly

So the band au is kinda written like Clone high, I treat it like one of those really serious romance dramas, except the band au is more just relationship focused instead of strictly romance, also there’s a lot of drama

I’ve come up with four main bands at the moment :3

The Grim Reapers - an underground goth band with Coffin as the bassist and Tissue box as the (main) vocalist, they’re most well known for their songs being about pretty grim subject matter, though they’re probably the least popular out the four main bands

Electric Current - A pop-punk family band with Electracey on the electric guitar, Elevator Speaker on the Bass guitar, Laptop on Drums, and Colin on vocals, they have a very futuristic theme and are by far the most popular band out of the four

Malcolm’s Angels - a band started by Shrignold the head of a love “organization” to help spread the gospel of Malcolm, their music is mostly folk type music, with Unicorn on the harp, Frog boy on the flute, Rabbit boy on the mandolin, and Shrignold on guitar and vocals, the other members of the “organization” are also there, to they just aren’t part of the band, but some of them are on the marketing team

Fly To The Stars - i also refer to them as “the rejects”, an obviously space themed rock band, with Gilbert on guitar, Solar system on the keyboard, Magnet on bass guitar, and Lamp as the lead guitarist

there’s also other characters that aren’t in bands but are still pretty important to the main story like

sketchbook - A young college student, currently studying art, she’s a big fan of Electric Current with her favorite member being Electracey, she’s also roomies with Tony

Tony “Anthony” Clock - An older college student studying history, roomies with Sketch and also a small solo music artist in his spare time (hehe)

saxophone - A music artists who’s songs are usually canoe related, has gained a small cult following due to this

Warren W. Eagle - Local homeless person, usually spotted around dumpsters, can play a pretty mean keyboard solo though

there’s more important characters but I these are the ones I’ve currently planned out (Saxophone isn’t really important though, I just found the concept I had for him funny)

and finally, some miscellaneous facts that I can’t fit anywhere else in this incoherent ramble

The two main locations are Clayhill and Mullhoven, though Mullhoven in this au has become a bigger city, well Clayhill has kept its gated community status

The main three do have a minor role in this au, with them being know as the “weird” residents in town, some situation always seems to be happening to them wether that be their house burning down or finding their pillowcases full of ham

Electracey and Sketchbook are both college age with them both being 17

Laptop on the other hand is a highschooler, being 15 years old

All the characters are humanoids, they basically have human proportion’s but still have some of their weird puppet feaures

Lesley is Electric Current’s manager, though it’s not her only job according to her, she won’t tell much about herself, she likes the game of mystery

Electracey’s name in this au is just Tracey, Laptop’s is Lapis, and Elevator Speakers is Alexa

Colin, Laptop, and Electracey are all siblings, Colin being oldest, Tracey being middle, and Laptop being youngest, well Elevator Speaker is their cousin

Tissue box is fine with her and Coffins band being pretty unknown, but Coffin wish’s they could be as popular as some of the others, and he will do anything to make that happen

Laptop is a big fan of Hatsune Miku and and makes references to her in some of Electric Currents songs when it’s her turn to write one

uh that’s it for now :3 *disappears in a cloud of misty smoke*

Reminder: TONE INDICATORS ARE USEFUL AND GOOD

Don’t let anyone fucking tell you otherwise. Don’t feel stupid for needing tone indicators.

And if you’re reading this thinking ‘but ThEre ONly UseFuLL FoR-‘ shut your mouth. If you don’t need them, guess what? They aren’t for you. Let me say it again but louder:

IF YOU DONT NEED THEM. THEY ARENT FOR YOU.

You wouldn’t say wheelchairs are useless and companies should stop making them just because you don’t need a wheelchair, would you? No you fucking wouldn’t. Shut your ass up and open your damn eyes and stop to think that other people exist for one second. I know the default of the human brain isn’t to think about every possible person, but this is one of those things that should be easy to wrap your head around.

And if you follow me and hate tone tags and think they’re dumb, either learn a bit or fucking unfollow me. Right now. Alright? You’ve got two options neither are hard.

The Church of Galana and Grounds

Prior to the Hellmouth, the church of Galana in Toreguard was a small chapel with grounds so modest, as to be nearly non-existent.

After the rebuilding, it was allocated far larger grounds, in part due to the actions of the resident Abuna, Egrim Shiverstaff, who argued that anyone would be allowed access to the grounds on the NE corner. Today, the gardens cover an area of around 340 acres and are kept by a small team of gnomes and woodlings, lead jointly by Turnips and Oakrose O'Toreguarde.

The main church and associated buildings are most unusual in that they are majoritively grown from wisteria and yew by Abuna Shiverstaff with assistance from Ms O'Toreguarde (senior). There are few stone parts, notably the kitchens, however these are merely an extra precaution as the church is said to be protected from fire and blight by the Green Goddess Herself.

While congregational services are held in the main body of the church, adherents of Galana are encouraged to make use of the grounds for personal worship, particularly the contemplation pools. Each contemplation pool is screened by box hedge and offers a chance for the faithful to commune directly with their Goddess - if She so chooses.

In the spring and autumn, the lawn comes alive with merriment as the church holds feasts for Galana's Holy Day and the Harvest. These are often multi-faith affairs, with adherents of Iatro, Argowen, Aegraven, Istarel, Varantar and Ploughman joining the celebrations.

I don’t actually know if this is an “unpopular” opinion tbh but. I’ve seen several posts over my time in mash fandom about teaching Jamie Farr about Klinger’s gender identity/trans and nonbinary identity in general and they always rub me the wrong way.

It’s possible I’m mistaken (I’ve heard it said that Jamie Farr was the one that asked for Klinger to stop cross-dressing, but I’ve not found a source for this, and he’s not ever mentioned it in the multiple interviews he’s given since mash ended, at least to my knowledge).

But yeah basically none of the mash cast members are Unproblematic (they’re!! people!!) and I think Farr has a reputation as like, homophobic or transphobic or something when I think that’s really undeserved.

lol, i agree, that's kind of corny. i'm sure i've rb'd posts like that because i think they're silly and fun and i would never seriously consider explaining to an actor what they 'didn't get' about a character they played unless i was being paid to direct them.

i tend not to seek out the political views of creators unless i feel it could help me understand their work a bit more, and even then it's not something i rely on heavily. if you're saying that his asking to not wear dresses anymore is what people are going on when they say he's transphobic like, that's a huge leap imo.

my discomfort comes more from the idea that we're giving credit where it isn't due by claiming farr 'doesn't get' that klinger is a canonically trans icon (which i don't think i've seen anyone claim but tbh, and i've complained about this a lot recently, i have no fucking clue when people are talking about their headcanons and when they're talking about a narrative read).

the unspoken part of my 'klinger is canonically a rebel' post was that i wanted to point out that that's a real thing, and sometimes i think we're looking very hard for things to project onto our favourite characters that actually already exist, but in a different or less specific way. other times you're simply patting someone on the back who didn't ask for it, and doesn't deserve to be congratulated for whatever is being claimed they've done. i got no problem with gender and sexuality headcanons, but that's just one way to engage with a text, i'm providing alternatives that give me what i want in the realm of canon, which is less work than making up my own stuff and also acknowledges the efforts of the creators :)

i've also read he asked to stop wearing dresses because he didn't want his kids being made fun of - and that's fair. that might even be a legitimate concern for an actor to have today. it's important we still acknowledge that he was the 'man in a dress' - they knew that would get laughs they played into that, even if part of it was about his rebellion against the army. being willing to 'act crazy' by wearing a dress was a bankable character beat, few people were likely saying to themselves at the time 'hey, why is it crazy for a man to wear skirts?' - there's intent, and then there's impact. nowadays here on the insular tumblr dot com, people are calling klinger beautiful and attractive and inspiring because of his dresses, and i'm sure some people did back then too, but that's not what the creators were counting on happening.

genuine question

does kyle eat kosher? because i know he said his mom packs him kosher lunches and stuff but he was also shown to eat ham and supposedly bacon pancakes from denny’s, so i’m kinda lost, can someone please help

Why didn't Louis just cancel the concert even a few hours before same as many others did? Now Louis is 100% liable in lawsuits and a very wealthy target for all ambulance chasers. 

hi anon. so, i’m not the best person to ask this because i don’t know much about how this works, but i asked people who work in the industry about how these things work.

according to reports from fans who were there, the weather was forecasted for some rain and possibly hail, however not to the extent of how it ended up being. at 9:02pm, the weather forecast sent out an alert for the hail storm. the venue then proceeded to announce that the concert was delayed and for people to take cover in their cars. however, it was the same wording they had given previously when the first delay happened, they said nothing about hail, so fans decided to stay in their seats thinking it was just another delay and nothing more. 20 minutes later the venue gives the hail storm alert, which only gave fans 2-3 minutes to leave their seats, ergo not enough time, and then we know what happened.

we don’t know what louis was told during all of this. assuming he was also told the same thing fans were told, that it was just a normal weather delay and he could perform as soon as it passed, then it’s the venue and local authorities responsibility for not alerting the fans of what was coming. not to mention the fact that after it began hailing the venue workers did nothing to help fans, and instead screamed at them, closed doors on them, laughed and recorded them. if i recall correctly, while people were taking cover, someone asked one of the employees about canceling, and they said they wanted to but local authorities didn’t want to.

so in case of a lawsuit, it would potentially be against the organizers, employees and local authorities. if someone wanted to sue louis he could potentially say the organizers and local authorities gave him the all clear to perform, and the venue was responsible for giving the fans the alert.
