“Bro, she’s a bitch. Don’t listen to her.”

You scoff with a smile at hearing Jimin’s words. “Girl, that lady is my grandma. My mom sucks up to her very badly so, I kind of have to listen to her even though I want to punch the shit out of her.”

“Your grandma can kiss my ass,” Jimin harshly said as he dyed his hair a new color. He inspected his hair in the mirror as he kissed his teeth, making sure he wasn’t missing any spots. “I’ll tell her the truth. I’ll tell her, straight up, that if she causes you any trouble or any problem, she will see my fist coming to her wrinkly face before she could even blink.”

You smiled at hearing your best friend’s words of reassurance, glancing down at the dog you were walking.

“You truly would beat up a bitch for me, huh?” You teased, raising a hand as a thanks to a driver who stopped for you. You continued walking down the neighborhood.

“For you, always,” Jimin said without hesitation. “Also, where are you? I hear cars driving by.”

“Remember I’m walking Taehyung’s dog because he’s working?” Jimin let out a small ‘oh’ at your response. “Yeah, that man needs to find someone. He’s always working or staying home with this cutie.”

“I tried but the last girl said he was a red flag so, I’m just letting fate deal with it,” Jimin muttered, loud enough for you to hear what he was saying. “After all, he’s always cooking something, so I don’t mind him being single since we get fed.”

“You’re so right,” you gasped out. “Ugh, he needs to make the steak again.”

“Yes!” Jimin gasped next. “I’ll text him in the group chat.”

“Okay you do- Oh, shit!” You softly exclaimed to yourself as you tripped. You panicked, though, once you came to feel Yeontan’s leash gone from your hand. You stayed quiet, looking around, before gulping “Jimin?” You call out. He hummed. “Uh… Uh, I accidentally let go of Yeontan’s leash.”

“Oh, my God,” you heard him breathe out. “How? You were just walking him right now!”

“I tripped!” You exclaimed, your hands beginning to shake and your body heating up with worry.

“I’m heading your way. You know how much Taehyung worships that dog.”

You didn’t even process his words or him hanging up, but you looked around rapidly, hoping to catch a glimpse of the dog’s fur.

Once you saw him, you ran to him.

You thank whatever God out there that you weren’t near any traffic or that there weren’t any cars near you because if something happened to Yeontan… Taehyung would definitely kill you. He would kill you and Jimin if he had to if it meant saving Yeontan’s life. You wouldn’t blame him. You loved the dog, too, and would kill for him.

You searched every bush and yard that was in your way for anything, but Yeontan was nowhere to be seen.

Tears began blurring your eyesight at the panic because what if he got hurt? Oh, God. You can’t even imagine. No, he’s not hurt. Yeontan may be slow but he was very smart. He knew when to cross and knew when to stop if he saw a car coming.

Hopefully he’ll be okay. You’ll keep searching in the meantime.

Jungkook was on his motorcycle on the side of the street when he spotted a furry thing peeing on a bush out of the corner of his eye.

Well, he thinks he sees it because when he turns back to see if he saw right, there was nothing there.

Frowning, he took off his helmet and stood up from his motorcycle. He quickly turned it off and walked off towards where he thought he last saw the dog. He moved his backpack to the side to grab the dog treats he had just bought for his dog, Bam, making sure he had something to persuade the dog just in case it was lost and he needed to grab it.

He smiled in relief as he spotted a small furry animal sniffing around. Thankfully, he wasn’t going crazy, but it confirmed his worst fears that the dog was lost due to its leash still attached to him.

“Pss,” Jungkook softly hissed out, attracting the attention of the dog. Yeontan turned to look at him and was about to run away had he not spotted the treat in Jungkook’s hand. “Come here, bud. Want a treat?”

The dog clearly loved his treats because he came running to Jungkook at full speed, his tail wagging in the air very happily. Jungkook chuckled and grabbed the dog, feeding him the dog treat, before taking him with him to his motorcycle.

He sat down and because he did not like to ride his motorcycle with a dog that wasn’t his, he sat there and caught the attention of Yeontan.

“Let me see your collar, bud,” he said in a soft voice, grabbing the little tag that was attached to his collar. He eyed the name. “Yeontan… pretty name for you.”

Yeontan barked with his tongue sticking out, panting, clearly appreciating the compliment due to the fact he started licking Jungkook’s hand.

Jungkook read the information.

“If lost, call my dad, Taehyung…”

Jungkook took out his phone with the hand that wasn’t holding Yeontan and typed in Taehyung’s number. Though, before he could call, he spotted a woman running around in the distance yelling Yeontan’s name. He hummed under his breath.

Yeontan perked up at your voice and looked around, hoping to see you.

You were on the brink of calling Taehyung to tell him the bad news when a whistle catches your attention.

Thinking it was some perv driving by trying to catch your attention, you ignore it. You began to let out small dry sobs and you wished no one would pop up to see you ugly crying.

Another whistle.

Overstimulated, you immediately turned around to yell at the person yelling. Your mouth was opened, ready to spew out curses, before spotting a man with a leather jacket holding Yeontan on his lap while he sat on his motorcycle.

You gasp. “Yeontan!” You immediately headed towards the man, your arms picking up the small furry animal who started licking your face. You held him tight. “I’m so fucking mad at you. Your dad would’ve killed me, you know that? I would’ve never been able to feed you underneath the table and then who would feed you, hmm? I’m so mad at you.”

Nuzzling your face against his fur, your eyes opened as you remembered that you weren’t entirely alone. There was another person there, watching you.

You came face to face with a man, a small amused smile on his lips. Your body heated up with embarrassment at the thought of your panicked expression and how you were just talking to Yeontan.

“Oh, hello,” you said with a small sniff. You wiped your tears away with the sleeve of your sweater. “Thank you so much for holding onto him.”

“I saw him running so I figured you’d need a hand,” the stranger said, watching the dog lick your chin. He arched a brow before clearing his throat. “Is he your dog?”

You shook your head and looked back up to look at him. Really look at him. He was handsome, yeah, but nothing compared to your boyfriend, who hasn’t texted you good morning yet, by the way, now that you think about it.

“No, he’s my friend’s dog,” you replied. You glanced between him and the dog, bowing your head. “Thank you again. You saved my life. If he had gotten hurt, I would not be standing in front of you.”

The man chuckled. “How did he even get loose?” You groaned and placed your forehead on top of Yeontan’s head. “That embarrassing, huh?”

“I fucking tripped,” you sheepishly said, scratching the dog. Though you were upset at him for having you panicking and running around—even if it was your fault—the dog was too cute for you to stay mad at for too long. “I learned my lesson not to talk on the phone while walking him.”

Jungkook snorted. “Ah, don’t worry. That happened to me once, too, so don’t blame yourself too hard.” He smiled and pet the dog in your arms. “Are you far from your destination?”

“No,” you nodded. You could see he was worried about leaving you there after that incident, especially since you were still shaking from the adrenaline. “I’m good though. I’m, like, 5 minutes away.”

Humming, he nodded with you. “Okay, then. That makes me feel better, I was worried that you might’ve lived far—” He stops mid-conversation and looks at you. “You look familiar by the way.”

“Do I?” You frown.

“You live by the Diamond Apartment Complex?” He asked, his helmet in his hands as he was about to put it on.

You debated whether to tell him or not considering he was a man and you didn’t know him. But, he must live there, too, so you hummed.

“Yeah, why?” Though, you put the pieces together once you noted his motorcycle and his words. “Don’t tell me you live in 36B.”

“And you live in 35B,” he scoffed. You could see the corner of his lip, where his lip ring was, tilted up in an amused smile. “You’re the girl who is always yelling.”

“And you’re the jerk who revs his motorcycle so early in the morning,” you retorted back. “I’ve actually been meaning to speak to you.”

“Mmm, to tell me how annoying my motorcycle is and that I have a small dick?” He raised a brow in almost a challenging way. You gaped at him. “I heard your conversation on the phone yesterday with your boyfriend. The walls are thin.”

“Oh, my God,” you breathed out embarrassedly.

“Nice to know my dick size resides in your mind,” he said with a low chuckle escaping his lips. He put on his helmet. “Tell your boyfriend he should fuck you better if that’s what you think of 24/7.”

“I-” you simply said. “Leave my love life out of this. You shouldn’t be talking when you can’t even make your girlfriend moan.”

A smirk grew on his face behind his helmet. “Tell your boyfriend to stop making you fake your moans, then.”

“I never fake it. Maybe you’re pissed off about me admitting you have a small dick because it’s true and you haven’t felt the touch of your girlfriend in months.”

He looked at you and you knew he was because you could feel his stare burning your body despite his visor blocking his face.

He simply hummed.

“Watch out tonight.”

“Did you just threaten me?” You let out a small scoff while you look at him, moving aside towards the sidewalk.

“Oh, not you,” he said. “Just going to let you know, you won’t be sleeping at all.” He started his motorcycle. “You want to say all that shit, then I’ll prove you wrong.”

You snorted and slowly nodded before walking away. You placed one last kiss on Yeontan's head.

“What an idiot.”

[lightningboltreader]

Char, you know I love you, which is why I'm coming to you with this slightly cursed yet topical ask: rank the Twilight movies from favourite to least favourite and justify your answers 💜

Ok, let's rumble (affectionate) -

Twilight

I am a fool for pining and the first book delivers. There's a delicious build-up of snarling, huffing and angst before the will they/won't they collides with lust, infatuation and then danger. I was FED. My paperback barely survived the rereads before I clung to the movie. Then I quickly replaced my hc's with each actor as they were announced and loved nearly everyone. The Cullens are a dream vampire family, their house and cars a shiny bonus. Plus baseball outfits. Iykyk. And yes, the soundtrack still fucking slaps. Supermassive 10/10. We'll always agree there.

Breaking Dawn

I wish I could break this in two. Wait, it's my review. I shall! The first: Breaking, the steamy slayyyy! The literal bed-breaking passionate destruction and oceanfront honeymoon bliss were a satisfying payoff for the build-up in Twilight. This is the fantastical, happily ever after shit my teenage brain craved. The pregnancy experience was about as much as I knew about pregnancy, so perfect level of detail. Bella has to become a vampire to save her family? So relatable. And Dawn: The dawning of a new era, where mother and child learn to love, where mother makes the noble sacrifice, where racing through the woods and hopping off tall trees is suburban bliss, where your friend and former love interest falls in fucking love with your kid. I stg, this was a true testament to my own new relationship. The man who stayed, who listened, who loved me and poured wine for me while I literally SCREAMED and SHOUTED at my teen rated book proved a level of devotion that neither Edward nor Jacob will ever be capable of. Still, I place the whole book at #2 because it conjured far more emotions than "UGH," unlike three and four.

But first, an interlude.

Midnight Sun

Edwards POV, my beloved. While Twilight + Breaking Dawn holds all my teenage dreams, this origin story companion is a fanfic indulgence I imagine Stefanie wrote simply to clear her comment box. "Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt as though mine were about to." It's satisfying because Edward made me swoon but not particularly insightful, unless you're in the market for a little Volvo coupe. The car and driver edition of the series, if you will.

New Moon

My boy drives away, sob! Edward peels out of snowy Forks in a cloud of angst, flinching jaw muscles and puppy-dog eyes in the best interest of his clumsy DANGER MAGNET. He's so dreamy! She's so dumb! I'm so sad! Sweet, furry Jacob lights up our world with his bronzed glow and motorcycle tricks, but the infatuation is short-lived (sweet, attractive boy who only wants your happiness? ew.) because hallucinations of a cute, fanged control freak are better. Until he's slapped around by the Volturi. Love the Volturi though - the name, the aesthetic, the evil popeness vibe - good stuff. If only there were more Volturi and less woe.

Eclipse

Danger, Danger! Victoria wants to kill Bella and destroy the Cullens. But worse than that, Bella has to decide between Jacob and Edward. Is she IN LOVE or does she just like-like supernatural dudes who want to make her their property? Who loves her more? Is it like, too embarrassing to get married at graduation? Do I like have any friends? Like, oh my god, what should I do????? Is there anyone on earth with harder decisions to make? CRINGE. She's insufferable and I lost centimeters on my molars in the repeated gnash. The worst.

The End!

There are multiple things that could possibly go wrong in your language, this is mainly why we must have an insurance policy. How would you possibly know you have gotten the best deal or are sort of covered in ways that could be needed? Follow the guidelines and tips below to ensure that you are absolutely covered.

Starting with what you might already have covered will help you save cash on travel insurance. Most landlord and renter insurance policies cover property theft, and many financial cards give accidental death coverage while travelling if the trip was paid for with the card. Some even provide additional luggage protection and insurance for automobile rentals.

To protect both you and your company, small business owners must ensure that all of their insurance needs are met. E&O insurance, also referred to as mistakes and omissions business coverage, is one thing you ought to have. becoming an insurance agent will shield your company from client litigation.

To save money, look for insurance package deals. You can purchase fixed-price insurance for both motorcycles and cars. Numerous insurance providers provide bundled packages of various types of home insurance. Make careful to only buy the necessary insurance.

Insurance policies for your health, vehicle, renter's, pet, and travel.

All of those elements are essential for maintaining one's mental stability. It is simple to assume that paying a small monthly premium is absurd, yet insurance rescues the day in the event of a catastrophic event.

Insurance can save one's automobile, another driver's car, possessions in one's flat, pay for a sick pet's medical expenses, compensate one for an excursion that was postponed due to severe weather, or cover one's medical expenses.

Insurance is vital, and everyone's budget should account for it. A hundred dollars a month was far easier to manage than a hundred thousand dollars because of an unforeseen event.

You've definitely heard the saying "about fifteen minutes of your time can save you 15%," but you might discover that "saving money" also refers to spending just a few moments on calling with your existing insurance company. Call your insurance company when your policy's expiration date approaches and get a new quote on the policy you have. To keep your business, they will be motivated to offer you the most competitive pricing. It probably won't take 15 minutes because they currently have all of your information, so you can conserve money and time.

The cost of insurance can vary depending on where you live. They will also be influenced by the person's age, past claims or accidents, and a number of other factors. You must stay within each company's criteria for minimum premiums if you want to receive the greatest rates on any kind of insurance.

Having insurance coverage is crucial for anyone who owns real estate, expensive belongings, or a car. It guarantees that the insurance provider will pay for any harm done to the property or to anyone using it. When you require money to pay for your losses, this might mean a lot.

Every year, review your coverage. To find out whether any agents can offer you lesser prices, request estimates from a few of them. Over time, these kinds of expenses that you are not responsible for incurring might add up to a sizable sum, so check your policy to make sure it is accurate.

Avoid choosing a pet insurance provider that offers delayed coverage. You ought to be able to pick up the phone after buying the insurance understanding that your furry family member is protected in the event that something goes wrong. No additional fees should apply for immediate coverage. If it undertakes, the business you are working with can be questionable.

Never consent to a cancellation fee from a pet insurance provider. Inform the insurance provider that you will not pay cancellation fees if you learn that your pet's insurance provider is dishonest and you are unwilling to deal with them. If you resist their attempts to coerce you, they will take it away.

You have particular insurance requirements. It is crucial to comprehend how insurance policies function and how they apply to you. You ought to be able to make the necessary changes to keep your family and yourself safe and protected using the information provided here.

So interesting day today. Went to work, that sucked. Got picked up by my in laws since my car is in the shop, and when we were driving home saw a furry on a motorcycle…. Live your life furry person. I dunno made me do a double take since it looked like a dog/wolf was on a motorcycle hugging the driver. Lmao 🤣

[investoptionwin]

A lot can go wrong in our lives, which is why we carry insurance policies. But how do you know you are getting the best deal or are covered in the ways that you need to be? Follow the tips and guidelines below to make sure that you are covered.

To save money on travel insurance, start by looking at what you may already have covered. Most homeowner and renter policies cover theft of property; many credit cards offer accidental death while traveling if you used the card to pay for the trip. Some even offer car rental insurance and extra baggage protection. If you are a small business owner, you must make sure that you have all of your insurance needs covered, to protect you and your business. One thing that you should have is E&O insurance, which is better known as Errors and Omissions business coverage. become an insurance agent protects your business from customer lawsuits. Look for insurance bundle packages to save you money. You can get both car and motorcycle insurance for a rate that is fixed. Many insurance companies will offer several kinds of home insurance packaged together. Make sure to only purchase insurance that you must have. Health insurance, car insurance, renter's insurance, pet insurance, travel insurance. All of those things are necessary and they insure one's peace of mind. It is easy to think that paying a minimal monthly amount is ridiculous, but when something catastrophic happens, insurance saves the day. Insurance will save one's car, another driver's car, items in one's apartment, cover the bills for a sick pet, reimburse one for a trip that got cancelled because of bad weather, or pay medical bills. Purchasing insurance is necessary and it should factor into everyone's budget. One hundred dollars every month is far easier to handle than one hundred thousand because something unexpected happened. You've probably heard the phrase about 15 minutes can save you 15%, but you might find that by spending just a couple of minutes on the phone with your current insurance provider can also save you money. When your insurance coverage is nearing the expiration date, call your insurance provider and ask them for a re-quote on your policy. They will have the incentive to give you the most favorable pricing in order to retain your business. Since they already have all your information, it probably won't take 15 minutes and you can save time and money. Insurance premiums can vary from location to location. They will also depend on the age of the person, claim or accident history, and several other things. To get the best rates on any type of insurance you want to be sure that you are inside each company's guidelines to minimum premiums. Insurance coverage is a very important thing for those who own property, valuable items, or have motor vehicles. It ensures that if any damage is done to your property or the people using your property is covered under the insurance company. This can mean a lot when you need money to cover your losses. Check up on your coverage every year. Get quotes from several agents to see if they can offer you lower rates. These types of things that you do not need to pay for can end up costing a significant amount over time, so review your policy to be sure it is correct. Do not settle for a pet insurance company with delayed coverage. When you purchase the insurance, you should be able to hang up the phone knowing that your furry loved one is covered should anything go wrong. Immediate coverage should not cost anything extra. If it does, the company you are dealing with may be disreputable. Never allow a pet insurance company to charge you a cancellation fee. If you find out that your pet's insurance company is a shady one that you do not want to deal with, tell them you refuse to pay fees to cancel your service. They may try to force you, but don't back down, and they will remove it. Your insurance needs are unique to you. Understanding how insurance policies work and how they relate to you is essential. Using the information laid out here, you should be able to make the changes that you need to, in order to keep yourself and your family, safe and protected.

3, 4!!

Hi there, Anon! Thanks for the ask! I hope it’s okay that I pick a story for this one--actually, @lavendertwilight89 inspired me to answer with “The Magic Word.” (If not, I am happy to answer with another!)

For favorite narration from that story (sigh, I miss NY): 

It was early evening on a Saturday in Washington Heights, and Kagome was heading back to her apartment after a trip to the bodega. It had been a long week; she put in extra hours at one of the magazine to prepare for the next month’s issue, and with that deadline met, she felt like she had cause for celebration. So, she’d gone to the bodega, picked up a 40, wrapped it up in a paper bag, and already had it open and was sipping it delicately as she loped home. Her mind was running through the different movies that were available to her on streaming; she was kind of feeling like a romantic comedy, but nothing too cheesy; she didn’t have time for that shit.

Kagome was at the stop light at the corner of St. Nicholas Avenue and 180th Street, waiting to cross and head back to her apartment, when a cab and a motorcycle came roaring down St. Nicholas, both screeching to a halt as the light turned red. The cab driver rolled down the passenger side window as the biker took off his helmet. Kagome watched, breathless, as the biker shook his long, silver hair out, and nearly gasped when she saw his two adorable, white, furry ears poking out through the hair on top of his head.  A half-demon, she thought, and she took a moment to admire his strong profile, his long, lithe form, and the way he filled out that leather jacket.

She...she may have been getting very...very warm.

And favorite dialogue?

“Oi, woman!” shouted her handsome, foul-mouthed, half-demon soulmate, “I  asked you a question. What the fucking hell is your fucking problem?!”

Kagome gasped for air, and rose to her feet. “Oh,” she replied, “I’m sorry, I’m so, so, sorry. It’s just that you’re…”

“Well,” said her handsome, foul-mouthed, half-demon soulmate, “Godmotherfuckingdammit sonovabitch. I can’t fucking believe it.”

Kagome’s laughing gasps ceased. “I’m sorry,” she said, “but what can’t you believe?”

The man turned his bike towards the sidewalk where she was standing and peered closely into her eyes. “You know,” he said matter-of-factly, “you say ‘sorry’ too fucking much.”

“And you say ‘fuck’ too fucking much,” Kagome shot back. She froze. Did...he…?

“Wait just a minute,” she said slowly, “are you telling me that…?”

“Yeah,” he grumbled, not quite meeting her gaze. “Looks like I’m your soulmate…”

[lpbestiary]

The Hairy Hands are an apparition rumoured to haunt the B3212 road in Dartmoor, England. This strange haunting was first reported in the early 1910s, and since then, there have been hundreds of stories of a pair of disembodied, furry hands appearing from nowhere to grab the steering wheel of a moving car, or the handlebars of a motorcycle, to force the driver off the road.

Most victims of the Hairy Hands survive their accident, but there have been a few deaths on the stretch of road attributed to the ghost. Sceptics have blamed the curvature of the road, or unfamiliar drivers going too fast.

pls talk more about the high school dance club au im fuckibgn begging

Hhnnnrgh get ready for old art in this post because I’m not redrawing all this shit right now.

The official name for it is High School Dance Club AU, or HSDC. So basically, pretty much all of this takes place in the same high school, where the Nohr and Hoshido families both attended. The Nohrian family make up the foundation for the school’s Classical Dance Club, while the Hoshidans make up the foundation for the Modern Dance Club. They, but mostly the club presidents Xander and Ryoma, disagree on dance styles.

Xander doesn’t recognize modern dance as an art form, and thinks only classic styles like waltzing are worth anything. Ryoma thinks Xander has a big stick up his ass and he needs to lighten up, and that modern dance is a valid art form and in fact is harder because it usually involving singing AND dancing. The club rivalry is pretty intense and neither side will get over themselves about it.

(Undercut cause this is gonna get long):

(I’ll just talk about Nohr mostly since they’re the only sketches I have right now)

Xander is the president of the Classical Dance club, and a senior. He started the club, and he’s the eldest of the four Nohrian siblings. He’s mostly the one keeping the rivalry with Ryoma going, ever since his father Garon made an offhanded comment about Sumeragi being “uncivilized” (he’s not, he’s just a better father than Garon is), and since Garon keeps pushing the pressure of continuing the family company unto Xander, he’s just mimicking his father’s viewpoints. That’s also he wears a full suit everyday, despite having no real reason for it. He does care a lot about his siblings, but he’s kinda just....awkward. He’s like an early millennial, but he has no social media presence (though he frequently shows up in the background of his sibling’s social media), and therefore doesn’t understand memes.

Camilla is the second eldest and also a senior. She wears leather jackets and rides a motorcycle despite Xander’s protests. Since Garon isn’t a very good dad and is hardly home, she’s taken up role as the defacto mother of her siblings. She’s closer with Leo and Elise because of it, and also because she actually has social media so she actually understands memes. She’s Vice President of the dance club, and maintains the rivalry for appearances but she and the two younger siblings don’t really care too much. She does parcipate in practice though, and she’s probably second best behind Xander in the club. 

Leo is the secretary/treasurer (damn if I remember what positions you need in a high school club) of the dance club, third in the family and is a sophomore. He doesn’t actually dance in the club, but he’s still involved with all the paperwork, the club’s funds, scheduling practices, so on. He’s mostly just in the corner of the club room doing “work” on his iPad. He’s an excellent student and tries to follow in Xander’s footsteps despite the two being kinda awkward around each other. Really he just watches anime on his tablet all practice. He’s like a closet anime fan, only his squad Odin and Niles know, along with Elise, since she likes anime too. Hes kinda that line between millennial and gen-z, and though he doesn’t seem like it he’s fresh with the memes.

Elise is the youngest and a freshman. She also dances in the club but is probably the least serious about the whole club rivalry, since she thinks it’s silly. She understands why Xander is doing it though and won’t argue with him. She gets along the best with Leo, but they also have the most sibling rivalry and will occasionally be found T posing at each other from across the hallways of their house. She’s gen-z and is very into the memes, she likes anime too and argues with Leo for hours about who’s the best ninja in Naruto and why magical girls can transform without getting interrupted. 

So where’s Corrin and Azura fit in?

So there’s Corrin and Kamui, they’re twins. They transferred over from a serperate high school and are both in junior year. The backstory on them is due to circumstances unknown to them, they were taken from their birth parents. At some point they were adopted, and they grew up together under the care of their legal guardian, Jakob. When they started high school, they made fast friends with Azura who was another kid that was adopted. Both twins like to sing and dance, and they wanted to join both clubs but were barred from one or the other because of, you know. Well they decided that was bullshit and with Azura, came up with a plan: get the clubs to reconnect, so that at the end of the year, they could win the regional high school performance arts competition. 

Every year in the region, the high schools compete in performance arts competition. Technically the Nohrians and Hoshidans can enter as she-erase groups despite being from the same school, but they’ve always lost. Now it’s the last year for both Xander and Ryoma, and Azura has a plan to get them to make up and work together to win. She’s watched they fight for three years and despite being close friends with both families, she’s never been able to get them to see eye to eye. So with the twins working with her, the following plan is enacted:

Corrin, the sister, joins th Classical Dance club, and becomes close friends with the Nohrian family. Kamui, the brother, joins the Modern Dance club and does the same. By working as double agents, they plan to slowly convince the two families to forget their rivalry and work together, as well as plan a joint performance for the end of the year competition so that they could finally win the completion as friends instead of losing as enemies. If this is starting to sound like a cheesy high school musical teen type movie then GOOD because that’s EXACTLY WHAT IS IT.

That’s the gist of the plot but here’s some other characters I had ideas for:

Odin, Selena and Laslow are transfer students similar to the Corrin twins. They all in the Classical Dance club. They’re all juniors but have been going to that school since sophomore year.

Odin’s name is really Owain, but when he transferred he told everyone his name was Odin. Why?? Because it....sounded cooler. He’s pretty openly in anime, he’s the kid that Naruto runs down the hallway in high school and constantly talks about his “dark power”, you know the one. He became friends with Leo when he caught him watching anime during practice. Together with Niles they’re all close group of friends.

Niles is that kid that just, never showed up to class. He’d only show up for important tests but otherwise ditched the second he had the chance. Despite that he does pretty well in class. Not a second passes when he’s not saying something nasty. Leo stuck up for him once when he was getting picked on by some dickheads, and though he could take the verbal abuse the act stuck with him and he’s been close friends with Leo ever since. He has kinda a rough home life, so he’s usually at Leo or Odin’s house. Luckily Garon is not really home to complain and Odin’s mom is nice and let’s him stay over often. He refuses to wear any shirt that doesn’t show off his cleavage.

Selena also uses a modified name, but it’s more for paranoia that somebody might recognize her if she uses her real name. Her mom is kinda famous and she hates being compared to her, so at the chance to be just “Selena” and not “Cordelia’s daughter” she took it. She’s got a mean streak which tends to ward people off but she’s very close with Odin and Laslow, since they were friends in their old school. She plays water polo and hitches a ride with Laslow and Odin after practice, since Laslow is the only one of their group that has a car and a drivers license. She also hangs out with Camillla and Beruka, who rides a motorcycle like Camilla, a lot.

Laslow’s name is actually Inigo, but for similar reasons to Selena, he goes by Laslow since he doesn’t want to be recognized as his mother’s son. It’s more from embarrassment, because his mom is an exotic dancer. He isn’t ashamed of it, but he’s afraid of what other people might say and just tries to keep it a secret. Because of his mom though, he’s very good at dancing, and joined the Classical Dance club when Xander caught him dancing after school while waiting for Selena to finish water polo practice. He has horrible stage fright but Xander sees potential in him, so he’s working on being able to dance in front of other people. Xander asks that Laslow teach him his unique style, and Laslow reluctantly agrees. It’s how they became close.

I have some other notes that aren’t as detailed about characters. Peri is a scene kid, Keaton is the furry kid you also see in high school that wear a hate with wolf ears on it and a clip on wolf tail. Effie and Arthur are both on the football team, Effie is the star player and Arthur is....usually the distraction. You’ll be pleased to know I didn’t actually finish Fates so I only know so much about some characters, but yeah.

I’ll try to make some comics about the Hoshidans so I can talk about them too, but for now this is what I got.

early March: home a year

When thinking about my/our life now this favorite 60’s book title comes to mind: Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. (see more at end).  Cindy has been home now a few days over a year --- that is, out of her initial 4+ month hospital and rehabs ordeal. The title says life turned upside down, a new life  now more familiar than the old one, perception fractured and strangely rearranged. At times remembering the old life is good for us, but quite often it’s better to keep eyes straight ahead, not think about what’s up or down: there’s always a lot out there to ponder, assess and plan for. And thoughts to avoid. At times it’s better even for me not to compare how vibrant Cindy often is first thing in the morning with what she’s like a little later in the day. I recall, too, the old (blessed) Village Voice Jules Feiffer cartoon captioned: The Unexamined Life Isn’t Worth Examining.

 And when examining getting Up from the initial Down, I tend to commemorate last summer’s shunt surgery and rehab stint as the real start of a recovery. Pretty soon that won’t be “last” summer, and I’ll likely lose the clear timeline I now possess about all that. And it will more closely resemble my jumbled recall of all those years before we “been down.” A pre event future goal was to pepper Cindy with enough questions to reconstruct on paper (or print on such eventually) key events of our life by year. I tend to remember eras or some other fuzzy categorization, not the individual years or dates. She did. In my pre-event “lately” moments I thought of ways I might more coherently reconstruct my life (and ours, since so much of mine was an ours) in retirement. I hadn’t, of course, envisioned doing this.

I have a short video to commemorate last Sunday morning, when Cindy was smiling and talking to my mom on the phone so freely and fully you might not guess what year it was made.

* Been Down So Long Wiki backstory:  Richard Fariña is known for his novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me, originally published by Random House in 1966.[11] The title comes from the Furry Lewis song "I Will Turn Your Money Green" ("I been down so long/It seem like up to me"). Thomas Pynchon, who later dedicated his book Gravity's Rainbow (1973) to Fariña, described Fariña's novel as "coming on like the Hallelujah Chorus done by 200 kazoo players with perfect pitch... hilarious, chilling, sexy, profound, maniacal, beautiful, and outrageous all at the same time."

(I thought so at the time. But this story next has several memorable twists ---speaking of life’s sudden assaults)

On April 30, 1966, two days after the publication of his novel, Fariña attended a book-signing ceremony at a Carmel Valley Village bookstore, the Thunderbird. Later that day, while at a party to celebrate his wife Mimi Fariña's twenty-first birthday (Joan Baez’ younger sis!), Fariña saw a guest with a motorcycle, who later gave Fariña a ride up Carmel Valley Road, heading east toward the rural Cachagua area of Carmel Valley.

At an S-turn the driver lost control. The motorcycle tipped over on the right side of the road, came back to the other side, and tore through a barbed wire fence into a field where a small vineyard now exists. The driver survived, but Fariña was killed instantly. According to Pynchon's preface to Been Down..., the police said the motorcycle must have been traveling at 90 miles per hour (140 km/h), even though "a prudent speed" would have been 30 miles per hour (48 km/h).

Richard and Mimi Farina were also a folk singing duo. Check them out on you tube...

Unbound Incubus

Part Two: Clothing Incubus

Fandon: Voltron Legendary Defender

Relationship: Shiro/Keith

Characters: Shiro, Keith, Shiro’s army of cats

          The next morning Keith sits up in a bed he was sleeping by himself in. He was quite annoyed by that. Shiro was a stubborn weretiger and refused the incubus’ advances. There is a small furry body curled up next to him. Shiro told him that cat’s name was Red and she was not a big fan of most beings. Red appears to love Keith though. She follows him around and anytime he was sitting she would jump up and occupy his lap. She has a very soothing purr the incubus found.

         Keith pets the small red furred cat for a moment. “I want to know where he gets this spiritual strength from? Or I am just losing my touch.” Red just purrs away as Keith strokes her fur. He sniffs the air. He smells an aroma that causes his stomach to rumble. He scoops up the furry critter and they both walk into the kitchen.

        Shiro looks up from his cooking. He takes in the incubus and Red. He realizes that the incubus had lost what little clothing he was wearing the other day. He was a beautiful being. He was also naked. He turns his eyes back to his cooking. “I think we are going to have to go clothing shopping.” Shiro hums to himself. “Not that your nudity is not beautiful. You are what you are. Since you are staying a while, human laws dictate the need for clothing while outside of the house.”

        Keith smirks impishly. He takes a deep breath. He can smell Shiro’s interest in him. This man had the self-control of a saint. “Well good morning to you too,” he wanders over to stand next to Shiro. He never saw anyone cook before. “My nudity doesn't bother you?”

       “Nudity is natural.” Shiro points out as he finishes off the omelette he created. He cut it in half. Places it on the plate. Then right next to it he slides hashbrowns that just finished cooking as well. “I have already told you that you are attractive.” He carries the food for himself and his not completely wanted guest to his table. He was a kind soul, it was not the sex demon’s fault that newbie witchlings had messed up their summoning.

       “Yet you will not sleep with me.” Keith picks up a fork and cuts delicately into the eggie thing in front of him. He takes a bite. The omelette melts in his mouth that is almost as sinful as sex. “Where did you learn how to cook so sinfully?”

       Shiro just smiles. “I’ve taken lessons from a friend of mine. I did not want to be helpless in the kitchen. My ex did all the cooking. Once he left. I needed to know how to cook or I was going to be one of that only eating take away guys. That didn't sit well with me. So learned to cook.”

      “Do others know you're a weretiger?” Keith makes his way through the food Shiro had placed on the plate in front of him. This one must be placing some kind of magic unintentionally in his food. For he felt full.

     “Yes, the local Coven does. So does the local wolf pack.” Shiro smiles as he goes on. “The Coven and wolf pack are kinda melded together.” He pauses placing his fork down for he was finished eating. “I’m gonna see what I have that is too small for me. It will still be terribly oversized on you. We need to get you human-style clothing. Then I need to figure out how to tell my friends about you without half of them freaking out.” He stands. “I’ll be right back it will not take me long.”

     Keith finishes eating as Shiro reappears he has what looks like a pair of grey sweatpants and a faded crimson t-shirt that turned small from washing. “I have a pair of flip-flops. They will be too big. Your boots would look too odd with this getup.” Shiro smiles warmly. Keith wants to bask in this warmly like Shiro was the sun.

     “Alright.” Keith gets up. Takes the sweatpants first and pulls them on. He has to pull the drawstring to make sure the pants did not slip past his hips too much. He concentrates a bit and Shiro watches as the wings disappear from sight. Keith then pulls on the t-shirt. Shiro gives a whistle. Keith finds himself flushing.

     “I think you look pretty sexy in these things. Especially the t-shirt.” Shiro nods to both himself and Keith. “We should head out.” Shiro and Keith both slide on flip-flops. Keith realizes Shiro is wearing the same kind of clothing as him. “Put away your horns Keith. In public, you need to appear human as possible.”

    “You didn’t,” his voice trails off suddenly feeling awkward. Keith finds himself blushing for he had not thought of making his horns disappear too. Shiro watches as Keith does as he asks of him. “I’m sorry Shiro.”

    “Don’t be. It's not something you had to think of before. And I wanted to.” Shiro reassures Keith. “This way you will not feel underdressed.” They head out to Shiro’s car. “I’ve fed the cats already. Most of them will also hunt for their food. The local mouse and bird population are feeling their presence.” They slid in Shiro once again behind the wheel. “I will see about getting you a driver’s license.” Keith’s eyes widen. Shiro goes on. “The Coven and Wolfpack are my friends. The witches are Allura, Veronica, Ina, Nadia, Coran, and James.” He notes the eyebrow raise from the sex demon. “You know witches come in either sex.” That got a grin out of the other male. Shiro goes on. “The Wolves are Hunk, he is the one who taught me to cook, Shay, Lance, Pidge, Matt, and Ryan.” He pauses. “There is also a magical beings convocation called the Blade. We will have to inform them of your presence.” He pauses. “I’m only worried about Lance. He is a bit much on most days. I guess I will have to play it by ear.”

     Keith shots him a questioning look. “Okay.” The two listen to Shiro’s classic rock station as they drive in silence. Keith watches as the city blossoms around them. His thoughts drift to the handsome stranger with the strong willpower. He’d never met a person that had not just taken control and demanded things of him. He was not completely sure how to act in this situation. He was being treated like he was a person and not a sex toy or a whore for hire. It was an odd feeling. “When you want. I want to know why you will not just fuck me?” He watches as Shiro’s eye twitches in response to his vulgar use of language. “That is what my kind was designed for. As much as I like to fight it. I am designed for any kind of sex that humanoids can think of from nice to non-consent.”

     “I would never force you.” Shiro watches the road and the cars around them. “Plus I’m a tiny bit old fashioned. I like to be friends with someone before, how did you put it so eloquently, fuck them.” He pauses as they pull into a driveway and he drives up and down the aisles until he finds a parking spot and parks his car. “I’m not the sort of one night stands. I just don’t have the fuck the person and leave them attitude.”

     Keith locks the door after letting himself out of the car and wandering over to Shiro’s side. The incubus pats Shiro’s shoulder. “You are unique then. Most people like to fuck and leave.” The two made their way into the mall. The mall was not too busy even with all the cars that were in the lot.

     “We are gonna stop in the men’s suit shop first. That way we can get your measure.” Shiro smiles wryly. “It will make life much easier. Plus if you plan on staying one good suit is a great thing to own.”

    Keith had to answer Shiro’s smile with one of his own. This weretiger was making him rethink living. It was an odd feeling. “Do you practice martial arts?”

    “Yes I do,” Shiro looks at him with a contagious grin. “Did you wanna spar at home? We can totally do that. I also have a gym membership. I’ll add you to that as well. That way we got things to do together and bond over.”

    They arrive at the men’s suit shop. They walk in. A salesperson comes up. “Welcome to Dillion’s Suit shop. How many I help you today?”

    “My friend here needs a good suit.” Shiro supplies smoothly. “He has recently lost everything due to circumstances beyond his control. So we need to reoutfit him. So a new suit, shoes, the whole ensemble.”

    “Oh that's terrible,” the salesperson takes out his measuring tape and takes Keith’s measure. Keith was impressed by Shiro’s storytelling skills. It was enough of the truth and enough of a lie to be fully believable as the truth. The person helping them makes notes of each thing he measures. “I'll be right back.” He comes back with a beautiful black pinstripe suit,  crimson shirt,  black tie, a white shirt, a crimson tie, tie cuffs, and tie pins. “We don’t have shoes in right now. All of these things should fit. Go try them on.” He motions to the fitting rooms.

     Keith takes the pile of clothing. Hands Shiro the accessories. Takes just the suite and shirts with him. Keith tries them on. He looks at himself in the mirror. He sees a very handsome young man. He comes out to show Shiro. Shiro whistles.

    “You look great crimson is your colour.” Shiro grins. “The white shirt should be fine. Change back and we’ll get this paid for.” Shiro watches as Keith wanders back in then comes out dressed as before holding onto his new things. They get them rang up by the salesperson who had been helping them.

    Next, they hit the shoe store. Keith gets his foot measured for the first time. Shiro then has him try on a pair of biker boots, dress shoes, sandals, and tennis shoes. They get the pairs Keith likes then they hit the next store. It’s a department store a place where they get everything else and quickly. Keith chooses five dark wash and black skinny jeans. Five more t-shirts in different shades of red or black. Five tank tops, boxers, socks, two flannels- one red and black the other black and white, and a black motorcycle jacket. Keith feels a little bad for the amount of money Shiro is spending on him. They head back to the car with Keith’s new wardrobe.

Ten Years Later :(

“Furp”

It’s been ten years.

Patrick Reed.  

Patrick Reed, EMT

ENFA REED, PATRICK J. 6923

M DIV ENG DEP EM01

USS RUSHMORE (LSD 47)

Fire Pyro

Furp.  

That’s how I met him: Furp.  It was on TimeScape MUCK, lo half my lifetime ago.  His fursona was a baby dragon, a “little dwaggy”, named for the sound he made when he (sorta) breathed fire.  

With his zany sense of humor and caring nature, it was inevitable that we would become friends.

When he joined the Navy, @diannamuircastle and I sorta adopted him.  We sent him socks and baked goods, he sent us USS Rushmore ballcaps.  He called us when he was in port, and we kvetched about Marines and Loading Ramps that get stuck and won’t move and all the fun stuff.

After he got out of the Navy, he became a DOD Civilian Contractor, and wound up doing a few tours in the Middle East.  He came out of that unscathed, though he did take part in the first church services for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster at a U.S. Military Base in that region.

Which is par for the course because: Furp.

He was a regular at Furry Cons.  He was an EMT, and soooo many people start their stories about him with “I met Furp while we were waiting for the ambulance….”  

He was famous for his catchphrase:

“What have we learned?”

If you did something stupid, something irresponsible, something perhaps that made you his patient, you were going to hear that.  Always with a smile on his face and compassion in his voice.

“What have we learned?”

Ten years ago tonight, he was on his motorcycle in Twentynine Palms.

Drunk driver got him.

Patrick died instantly, they say.  He did not suffer.  

The rest of us suffered, and still suffer, deeply.  

Love you, Furp.  Still miss you.  

“What have we learned?”

Just gotta keep asking that, every day.  What have we learned from what we have lived?

El Centro

January 27th

Day 157: After five months of living in Tulua, I am still only familiar with a small portion of the city. Lara and Hermione face the same predicament. So we have decided to take initiative and explore the city for ourselves. Amazingly, none of us have ever spent time in the city center, the downtown. I have walked through it a few times to use an atm and I have driven through it many times because it lies very close to my house. But I haven’t really discovered what lies within the center, the heart of Tulua. All I have seen is surface level; the outside of shops, roads congested with taxis and motorcycles, fleeting looks at the Tulueños filling the streets. 

We decided to start our exploration of Tulua in its heart, El Centro. At six o’clock, I called a taxi and made my way to the center to meet Oscar and Hermione (Lara was still in Medellin). The sun was beginning to set when I arrived so we delayed our downtown tour to watch the clouds turn to cotton candy from a rooftop bar. We were only a few stories above the majority of the buildings but the extra height provided a completely different view. From our perch we gazed over the red tiled roofs speckled with stray cats, to the looming mountains in the distance. After the clouds lost their illumination we headed back down onto the busy street to commence our tour. 

Oscar took us around the entire downtown. At this time of day it was full of commotion, alive with activity. We passed by clothing stores stocked to the brim with merchandise, roadside shops selling knock off shoes and jackets, restaurants, cafes, fruit vendors announcing their goods to the world. The tour brought us to one of Tulua’s central parks. It was full of people chatting, playing chess, and listening to the loud music coming from a foreign source. The scene was cheerful and light hearted, everyone enjoying each other's company after a day of work.

After circumnavigating the center, we headed into a cafe. The quaint space had a bar overlooking the street below. There we sat, sipping our drinks and watching the cars and motorcycles flash by. Once finished, we set off on foot towards Oscar’s house. We walked through an unfamiliar barrio heavily populated by restaurants. I peeked inside each as we passed by. Some were quite intriguing with enticing decor and atmospheres. Hopefully we will be able to come back and try them out sometime. 

Our walk took us by one of Tulua’s larger churches. We stopped to take a look inside. To Hermione’s and my delight, we had stumbled upon a wedding. So we snuck into the pews to watch the ceremony. It was relatively similar to a traditional religious American wedding. The only real difference I spotted was that the bride and groom walked down the aisle together. The bride with her father and the groom with his mother. Hermione said they do this in France too. The ceremony was beautiful. After the priest made a moving speech about love, the couple said their vows and sealed their promises with a kiss. Felicitaciones Jessica y Jose. 

We snuck out of the church when the guests stood to clap for the happy couple as they made their way down the aisle and continued our walk until reaching Oscar’s house. It was around nine o’clock by then. I asked if we could meet his rabbit Conejo (his name and also the word for rabbit in Spanish). So Hermione and I stayed a little while, petting his soft black fur while talking with Oscar. Conejo is the first rabbit that I have seen in Colombia. 

After a while spent with our new furry friend, it finally came time for us to head home. I had a nice conversation with my taxi driver as we drove back through the downtown. As I gazed out the window, the streets felt a little more familiar, a little more like home.
