one of the funnier ESO addons is like. okay so to discourage fast traveling everywhere willy-nilly, there's a small gold fee for teleporting to a wayshrine from out in the field, and that fee gets multiplied by 10 right after you pay it and then slowly cools back down over the next few minutes. so if you space out your fast travels the gold fee is barely noticeable, but if you're zipping around the map like a fiend you're gonna pay a lot
except there's a slight loophole where you can teleport to someone on your friends list or in the same guild as you and be placed at the nearest wayshrine to them. for free. even if you haven't discovered that wayshrine or area yet. so of course there's an addon that replaces the default fast travel system with finding your closest friend to the area you're going into and porting you to them instead. there's even a little counter showing how much money you've saved by using it lol. very Dutch-coded addon

on the special occasion of finally completing 3 years here is a lil thank you post. I started this blog back in Jan 2020 at the same time I started bujoing and decided to share my progress here as I was very inspired by the whole community and I am still touched by how welcoming and sweet everyone was to me. I have met some [hopefully] lifelong friends, had some of the best interactions and got to know the kindest people here.
Tumblr always felt like a home to me, there’s a strange comfort here, and even after 3 years the community hasn't changed much. Of course, I miss some of my beloved that aren't super active lately but just going to their accounts and revisiting the memories feels so intimate. I have sure made great memories here so just a little thank you to everyone who has ever interacted or sent me kind words with or without anon, everyone who has sent me moon pictures saying “it reminds me of you” have checked on me during exam season or left encouraging tags on reblogs, younger tumblrinas who said they want to journal like me, i truly love all of you! My askbox is always open [now with anons shjsjs] for you
if I could I'd write each of you handwritten letters and teleport there to meet even once but for now, just know that I love and adore you <3

"it looks great, eg," udyati grins at him. "is that a moat?"
the little strip of beach near her house isn't a secret anymore. people come from all over to enjoy the 'beach at the meuse' whenever hook of holland is too crowded.
(which is often, these days. especially with the new rapid transit line.)
she turns her head back towards the sun again, letting it warm her face as she closes her eyes. "if you want me to carve the tiniest door known to mankind into your sand castle, you just let me know, okay?" @dvarapala
"yes. any proper castle should have a moat," egmund confirms, grinning in return. preferably, it should also have plenty of flowers and ivy crawling up the towers but that is a little harder to achieve on a sandy beach.
then he manages to accidentally knock over the top of the keep. "shoot," he utters with a sigh and a pout at his friend. "let me have another go. different roads sometimes lead to the same castle, after all."
when his fellow dutch suggests a tiny door, he laughs. "oh, i have always wanted to teleport my pinky finger to another universe!" he teases her. "would it actually work? if you add a small door here just behind the drawbridge? does a portcullis count as a door? an iron gate," he adds for clarification.

Hey!I saw in your last post about the necklace, and I was hoping if you had any other magical cursed items are in your AU! (This can be an info dump I love this subject cause it's similar to mine too!)
Alright! I’m going to do this one for my main au! So it’s not going to be the all powerful Ben world.Also all haul Ben 😂 pt.1
—————————————————————————
Necklace of macht - It is a necklace that can steal powers.It is only heard of in legends but some say they see it’s green glow in the depths of the water.
( macht is Dutch for might)
Sword of mimicry- This is a sword that can replicate any sword ever in history or in a game hint hint……This sword has more magical properties than just appearance! It can harness any natural abilities like water,fire,wind,and earth.This sword is currently in the possession of Ben drowned.
Grimoire of deadly deeds- This book basically just tells you how to do what spell you want to do. The ingredients and instructions if there are any. But with a twist it only responds to one with a dark heart or intentions. Unknown were it is?
Book for Golden Gates - This is basically the opposite of the Grimoire of deadly deeds.Instead of evil intentions they are only good ones and one with a good heart.Unknown were it is?
Linking lead- It’s basically a magic collar for you mystical or non mystical pet so that you can teleport them to you.This is a common item and there are many of them.
Portal- well it’s a portal….. but you have to give your blood and a message if we’re you want to go or it won’t turn out well.Only a couple scattered around the world.
Rewinding clock- It’s a clock that can rewind time when you wind it back or wind it forward. If you are wearing it you’re the only thing that will stay the same.It’s very dangerous and if you don’t use it right you can mess up everything. This is owned by clockwork.
Ribbon of Relief- A ribbon that can stop any pain when you tie it around the wound.But once it comes of off the pain comes back.Unknown who holds it presumed to be Nurse Ann.
—————————————————————————
I know this is short but I don’t have any ideas right now. If you wanna leave some ideas Im always open! That being said if you want more or have any suggestions let me know! Love you all ❤️

Anyway here's a snippet of the next fic
“Okay, either I’m way more drunk than I feel, or you just had her by the throat.” Torrance suddenly proclaimed. She and Will had seemed to teleport in front of them, fresh drinks in hand.
“Fucking what?” Will laugh-sputtered with a wide-eyed look at Kyle. But, for possibly the first time in his life, Kyle didn’t know what to say.
Thankfully, Nellie had enough Dutch courage going that she wasn’t embarrassed. “Don’t worry; I put his hand there,” she slyly returned. It left them speechless. “Do you want anything?” she asked Kyle as she slid out of the booth.
“Water,” he said, making a drinking motion with his hand. “I need water.”

Awww shit they cast the "start talking, bitch" beam and it hit me like a truck.... Let's fucking gooooo
With my current job I try to work hard to get the mail around in time so I can be home earlier hhh And the money I get of course. But the real hard work will come in August when I start my new education and job and I will work hard to prove to myself that I CAN do it and to learn new things and to build towards a future I like.
Love trains! Busses are nice too but can be too crowded and sometimes make me a little uncomfortable. Once went with the local small bus here (bc my dad drove it) and it was lovely! I love a good long train ride though!
I haven't really done a lot of spontaneous things recently I'm afraid. Did go out today to get new glasses unplanned! I did really need new ones it seemed... Oh and I made a fire and sat by it last night for Beltane! Hadn't super planned that and just went let's just do it!
My favourite thing about my current job is getting to know some people in my rounds, chatting with people in the streets! With my new career idk yet! Probably will be being in nature and working with it!
I would love to live in some more foresty areas, more nature! Maybe somewhere in scandinavia! Though I really don't mind where I live now to be honest. Maybe Scotland or Ireland too?
I don't really have a hero I think! I don't really think of people in that way I suppose, never really thought about it.
I always love reading The Hobbit! Or Mort by Terry Pratchett. Or Murder on the Orient Express. Also Koning van Katoren as a Dutch book.
My hobbies are playing video games, going on walks, watching murder mysteries (and other films and shows), baking and I want to pick up reading again...
My biggest fears revolve around me losing the things I care about most and I don't really want to go into specifics with that. Not my biggest fear, but I can't sleep with my door open hhh
There are so many things I can't do that I would love to for a day... Idk... maybe be an actress in a series I like? Or like a michelin critic...
Best gift ever would be all the slakkies I got gifted over the years heheh. But aside from those the VR headset I got for my birthday one year that my closes friends put money towards. (big thank you still to all of youuuu)
I don't really get angry easily. But I get mad when someone does not take me seriously or keeps making fun of me. Also quite some right wing word views. And a lot of things that are happening in the world right now.
My proudest accomplishment... probably graduating high school. OH no wait it's quitting therapy because it had *really* helped and I didn't need it anymore!
Hmmm I would love to have teleportation powers. But I would probably have powers to give people a good sleep or something. Snork mimimi powers.
Pet peeves! I can't stand loud eating sounds and really dislike being interrupted (sometimes it just happens but if it's often grr)
Okay so I though that I found my biggest mistake but I was wrong so honerable mention: going to uni to study art history. Not because of the subject, I still adore art and museums and art history, but because academic studying is NOT for me. Sure learned that. And learned not to tie my self worth to my academic accomplishments!
Actual biggest mistake was not visiting my grandpa more often when he was alive. Not properly telling him I loved him. Learned to visit my one living gran more often.... Now I just gotta do it and not regret it all when she passes.
I do believe in second chances fullheartedly. It of course depends on how the first chance got fucked, some things I can't give another chance to. But generally yeah! People change! People grow!
Oh my parents and I are all very good at having a great time doing very little. Taking things slow, chilling out. We revel in calmth. Inherited being good with kids from my dad! Inherited my honesty from my mom maybe.
SO many things to look forward about getting old! Seeing the world, meeting people, falling down and getting up! But I legit look forward to being an old lady on a porch looking at the garden. Maybe find someone to spend my life with and be there with them. Making my own family, however that may go. Growing old and not fearing people's judgement, being a weird old prune!
Am I passionate about collecting something.... *profusely sweating* n... nooo... I mean... I have 31 of the same plushie in varying colours and sizes, all with their own names, amassed over the last 20 years... So yeah I collect the slakkies <3 <3 <3
HOO that took me a while but I am very grateful for the ask because I could babble on and on. Thank you, anon! <3 always love chatting away on here heh

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2005): Total Control
We ended the Silver League with Dutch Devil’s map. And now, we will end the Golden League, along with the entire Cacowards 2005 roster the same way.
G10: Total Control
Main author(s): Ronald Lubbelinkhof (Dutch Devil)
Release date: October 11th, 2005 (database upload)
Version played: ???
Required port compatibility: ZDoom
Levels: 1
Total Control on first look might be considered as Altar of Evil but mixed with techbase. Is it completely like that though? Well, let’s find out.
This map looks at least as good as Altar of Evil, I guess. I think it might have more details than that map but I usually ain’t focusing on these while playing Doom WADs unless they are very noticeable.
Like the previous map, Total Control takes place in some kind of dimension that feels like its purpose is to trap you here. Although, this time the map is surrounded by an endless sea of slime that probably comes from the map itself.
And like Altar of Evil, this map utilizes sound effects from Doom 64. I already talk about how I feel about these in the past so I’m not gonna waste your time again on them.
Changing the subject, Horizon from TNT: Evilution is used as a music track for Total Control. And, you know, it’s a good track, it does its job well on this map.
Now, when it comes to how you play Total Control, this is where things start to get interesting. Unlike Altar of Evil, which was a rather linear map with one or two optional areas that aren’t tagged as secrets, this map allows you to finish it in many different ways. Sure, the combination of key hunting doesn’t change (red ==> blue ==> yellow) but nothing stops you from choosing between exploring the map first before taking care of the keys or going after them at once. Maybe even something in between. The map is kind of confusing, but I don’t think you will spend much time looking for one important switch.
There are two non-secrets involving Plasma Gun and BFG. The former weapon can be acquired by finding a switch in one of the secret sectors, while the latter one is on a pedestal and you have to do some stuff related to the area with slime to activate the teleporter to the weapon among other things.
Total Control isn’t really that hard. I guess it’s on the same level of challenge as Altar of Evil but for different reasons. Unlike Altar of Evil which had custom monsters and a shit-ton of Imps, Total Control offers... hitscanners...
...
Bollocks.
It is still mostly cannon fodder though, like the previous map that has over 350 Imps on HMP.
If you need some help in making your playthrough of this map easier, go south directly from your starting position to the area where you will find a Rocket Launcher. After dealing with that room, go west to the BFG area and take care of everything related to this weapon before moving on to other places.
Honestly, I think Total Control is on the same level of quality as Altar of Evil, which is very good. It has some problems and overall I prefer Dutch Devil’s previous map, but this one is also fun to play.
Well, folks, we are finished with the Cacowards 2005 roster of WADs. Tune in the next few days for another installment of the Revenant Awards.
Bye!

Since you are stuck at the airport, maybe you would like your imagination to go a bit crazy? Feel free to delete it, if it's not really your type of content!
Stupid idea: If you were to give everybody in the gang a superpower, what do you believe would suit them? (Imagine John staying powerless though and Arthur often mentioning his power is being somehow alive with no brain 😆)
Ok, so I actually wanted to take my time with this! It took forever. I hate to sound desperate, but I worked extremely hard on this. It took hours to do as crazy as that sounds. Please “like” and reblog or even comment. It’s the only way I can get feedback and that’s so important to content creators. Note: I decided to give every superpower a drawback. I think that’s what I’ve heard about Dungeons and Dragons? I'm not counting deadeye here which could be considered a power by some. I don’t think it’s a power myself, but I can understand the theory. Arthur - The gift of luck and probability. Unlikely, but if you think about it - he has the fate of many people in his hands and their fates depend on his decisions of who he goes after. I believe John would have elements of this as well if we’re including a meta of the epilogue and rdr 1. However, this can only apply to strangers. Not to himself or his loved ones. John - Arthur and John argue over who has more luck so I think that he could have elements of this power. I thought about night vision but given that John is at least partially blind if we follow rdr 1, that doesn’t quite work for him. I know this sounds crazy, but I would give him animal communication powers....that doesn’t mean it always works well for him, of course. In fact, he might make animal enemies if he’s not careful. John is canonically known to be freakishly good with horses to the point that people who meet him say he could be rich from working and training horses. Despite his dangerous times, he is able to tell animal behavior quite well and is considered a master hunter in rdr 1. Dutch -Earthquake powers - it just seems to make sense to me! He makes a lot of escapes and I can see him using it to cause trouble. It’s more flexible than the power I gave Bill. However, it’s hard to control and he can cause harm to himself.....especially in rdr 1. (Which was chosen, though.) Hosea - Photographic memory - you can't get shit past him, that's one of the reasons why it's so easy for him to create stories. Unfortunately, he will have no ability to forget painful memories. Javier - Camouflage. He was able to stay in hiding for ages and only came out when Bill needed him. Dutch had rumors about him previously. Rumors about Javier in Mexico also only happened when he and Bill were on the run in rdr 1. The only problem is, if used too often, it can be difficult to turn on or off. Charles - Teleporting or phasing through matter. Kind of like Vision. It fits with how stealthy he is and he tends to divide himself up a bit. Meaning, since he often balances lots of responsibilities, this will help him juggle these responsibilities easily through traveling quickly. This also helps with stealth and spying, of course. Unfortunately, if he’s too tired, he could teleport to the wrong place. Abigail - Very hard to pin down. I liked the idea of her having healing powers especially through the power of song, but I also like the idea of her having a danger sense like Spidey sense ...canonically, she is very strong, unusually so. Ultimately, I would give her shape-shifting because Hosea notes how gifted an actress she was and even says she’s the best con-woman he’s ever seen. Unfortunately, this can cause her to doubt herself and question who she really is - it can affect her self confidence. She has to be careful not to become over reliant to it. Jack - The ability to speak with the dead. I wrote a thing years ago about it on a roleplay server. I think it would come in handy when he writes. However, I wouldn't have this power show up until he was a teenager because toddlers who speak to the dead are terrifying. Could be scarily amusing. When he is older, it could help him with his writing, help him on rare occasions receive a visit from a family member (There are “hints” that Beecher’s Hope is haunted in rdr 1.) Having this “gift” has a downside to itself already. Sean - Elasticity - he'd have a blast reaching everything and anything he's not supposed to. However, if used incorrectly, he would be akin to a wet noodle, meaning it would be hard to return to normal. Karen - Sonic scream, she has a very loud voice already regardless of whether it comes from laughing or yelling and she loves being a distraction. She could cause a lot of trouble with it like breaking glass. However, she could cause great harm to her friends if she loses control. Tilly - Foresight which gives her a connection to danger detection. I'm also thinking iron will. NOTHING will get in her way. She will manifest her own destiny and she did despite all the circumstances. She's a rock, she cannot be moved. This also can connect her with her sense of morality. Unfortunately, there are times that her danger detection may be incorrect. Sadie - Bravery of the Valkyries and the the ability to have perfect armor/ impenetrable skin. (Think Colossus from X-Men) Unfortunately, this can affect her ability to feel physical sensations if she fights too often. Molly - Invisibility. It comes in handy for so many things. It could be a power that intrigues Dutch for its usefulness and I can see him using it as a way to flirt. I think it also fits because in later parts of the game, people act like she’s invisible. Like Sue from Fantastic Four, I can see her turning invisible when she gets pissed and walks off in a huff. Unfortunately, like in the game, people do tend to forget about her. Grimshaw - Healing skills. I really wanted to give Abigail this as well because she does a heck of a lot of nursing back to health, but I ultimately believe Grimshaw does so a bit more. She may not always be the softest of carers, but she knows what she’s doing and does care. However, her healing is not always pain free. Lenny - Essentially a bullshit detector. The power that no one can lie or manipulate him. This fits perfectly with how he can navigate people like Dutch and come out on top, go toe to toe with Hosea and is able to climb the ranks of the gang quickly so to speak. (Most of the gang seems to respect him even with his age.) Unfortunately, this depresses him because he sees just how many lies there are. Micah - He’s basically a version of Grima Wormtongue to me. He has the ability to tell incredibly believable lies through a more hypnotic method. That’s why it’s important to have people like Lenny, Tilly and Hosea around. However, this backfires if he is trying to actually tell the truth as in, he’s severely injured or he is trying to call for help in some other way. Mary-Beth - I wanted to go with the power of empathy to her sensing emotions - however, that doesn’t mean she’s always kind or does it for altruistic reasons. Empath powers can be more complex than that. However, just like in real life, this can cause compassion fatigue. Kieran - Size manipulation like Ant-Man. Hell, the idea of him riding a huge ass horse is hilarious af. In actuality, he can shrink like Ant-Man to get into locks. However ---- he can’t get caught so he has to be more careful than most. Josiah - Duplication of self combined with mimicry. He'd be terrifying depending on how he'd use it. However, it is extremely difficult to control. Reverend - The ability to spread hope / inspire to almost anyone - however, just like in the game, he has to be in the right mind set and it can be exhausting. Bill - The power to cause explosions at will.......this can be difficult to control and can literally backfire. However, it comes in handy as a thief.
Strauss - Super intellect. He is more left brained in that this is more mathematics, statistics, able to make a good hypothesis and pick up skills in that field. However, this makes him prone to headaches. Pearson - The ability to be immune to all poisons whether its through food or liquids, but also poisonous gas as in swampy areas. Unfortunately, his ability to avoid poisons could make him a danger to others if he accidentally contaminates something.

How do you think the gang would be like with a s/o who’s a vampire? (especially micah, javier and charles please!!)
okayy these are super rushed and i didn't do all of them bc i want to get into the habit of not guilt tripping myself into thinking i have to do every character every time and that its okay to pick some and not all. so I didn't do everyone (but i def included everyone you asked for anon!! <33) and for anyone waiting for a fic, they're coming soon but i'm so stressed with work that i can only manage hc's atm.
side note: i know literally nothing about vampires and i'm just going off what the internet says vampires can do. enjoy <33
Dutch Van Der Linde
Despite the fact that you’re already Dutch’s favourite because of your significance as his partner, he ends up loving you even more because you’re a vampire.
Your strength means that you’re able to complete almost any job successfully and he won’t stop praising you both privately and to the rest of the gang in his speeches.
Dutch actually goes out on a few jobs with you because he knows he will be safe under you watchful eye and he never fails to smile at the sight of heavily armed gunmen quivering with fear because you’ve scared them.
Your ability to sense other peoples thought’s and feelings can sometimes be a curse but your power is super handy when you need information for jobs like finding out bank codes or when a stagecoach is coming in.
However your telepathy can leave you with headaches or can make you tired and overwhelmed so Dutch always lets you lie down on his bed in his tent.
Your head will be in his lap and he will rub slow circles on your forehead or lightly scratch your hair to help in whatever way he can so you can sleep and get some much needed rest.
Charles Smith
Charles is the supportive boyfriend through and through, so learning you’re a vampire definitely doesn’t change the way he sees you.
He will always offer for you to drink from him despite the pain it seems to bring because he loves you that much but you’re always going to worry about hurting him.
You’re always flattered to see Charles running around trying to bring you back something extra from his hunting trips because he wants to see you happy and healthy.
Your vampirism allows you to control or connect to animals and knowing how much nature means to both you and Charles you’ve never used your power to hurt any of them.
Instead you help Charles when he comes to you about the bison that have been killed mercilessly and for sport.
While Charles goes after the horrid poachers who did this, you use your powers to herd the remaining bison to a more protected area in the heartlands to see that they’re all safe.
Arthur Morgan
You and Arhtur have always been easy going and lighthearted with everything you do, so learning you’re a vampire is nothing new.
Arthur always jokes around whenever you sneak up on him because you can teleport and the fact that you’re a vampire doesn’t change much in your relationship.
Sometimes Arthur will flex his strength and throw you over his shoulder and carry you around camp but you simply teleport out of his grasp and pick him up instead.
All jokes aside Arhtur is still a gentle soul and worries about you all the time.
He will make sure there is nothing around camp that could harm you like your typical garlic, metals and religious symbols.
Arthur makes an effort to keep some areas of the camp shaded so you can sit and be with everyone on really sunny days.
His heart always skips a beat whenever he sees you hurt on jobs but he soon realises you have extremely fast healing but that doesn’t stop him worrying about you.
Javier Escuella
Javier loves you regardless of the news that you’re a vampire and he won’t hesitate to keep your secret safe if that’s what you want or he will totally boast about it and encourage you if you want to tell the gang.
The fact that you’re a vampire actually brings you two closer together.
Your senses were heightened the minute you turned and you can pick up on all the little changes that he feels.
Sometimes when you’re on a job or when there’s tension at the saloon you can sense when Javier gets edgy and you never fail to slide your hand in his and hold it.
If you’re tired from being in the sun for too long, or you got too close to reverend’s bible Javier won’t hesitate to pull you into your shared tent and lay down with you till you feel better.
He’ll cuddle up to you and do whatever you need until your strength is back, oh and there is lots of kisses.
Micah Bell
Micah probably has no idea what you’re talking about until he comes back from a job all bloodied and you see the effect it has on you. He’s never seen you look so intensely at him before, never seen you look at him with that wild look.
When he finally figures it all out that you’re a vampire he’s super cool with it and loves how badass you can be on jobs.
You’re one hundred percent stronger than him and he’s in absolute awe of how you take out enemies.
He’s super jealous of your strength and your speed, not only are you stronger than him but your speed means he has no chance at winning five finger fillet. But despite how grouchy he is, whenever you bet against him you always let him off easy and just ask for hugs and kisses instead.
If Micah ever acts up or is an asshole just bite him and put him in his place.
You totally notice him deliberately antagonising Arthur and Bill more in camp so you can bite him more often.
He won’t openly admit it but he loves when you drink from him. You warned that it would be painful but its Micah for fucks sake he’ll probably moan from it.

aap noot mies (1/14)
Summary: Blaine Anderson is just your average New Yorker. One day, he spots an ad by Kurt Hummel, seeking a Dutch language tutor and he decides to go for it. After all, being an actual alien that knows every single language in the universe has to be good for something, right?
Notes: Welcome to my contribution to the @klaine-word-scramble! I am super late to the party, but better late than never! I came up with this idea in 2018 (!) and it felt great to have a reason to revisit it.
This fic is still a WIP, but I hope to update every Wednesday and Saturday.
Also, a huge thanks to @cerriddwenluna for coming up with the summary and for answering to my erratic DMs about the title. The title translates to monkey nut mies, with Mies being a Dutch name. aap noot mies are the first words of het Leesplankje van Hoogeveen, a plaque that was used to teach children how to pronounce Dutch words accurately.
I hope you enjoy.
AO3 | S&C
--
WARN - 7 points
There are a few things Blaine should clarify.
Yes, aliens exist. Blaine should know, since he happens to be one.
No, aliens aren’t green and they don’t have many weird knobs. Blaine looks human, or better said, humans look alien.
Yes, aliens have weird superpowers. After all, Blaine has one.
And no, aliens are not going to take over the world using those superpowers. Blaine doesn’t really know how him being able to speak all languages of the universe would help him dominate Earth, but not that he’s interested.
Being a polyglot, which is the human term that best describes Blaine’s superpower, does have its non-world-threatening perks, especially in a multicultural city like New York.
He loves visiting all kinds of areas of the city, to talk with the locals who have immigrated from all over the world. He enjoys being able to fully understand Broadway shows that use different languages, including the ones with sign language. It’s very cathartic to help clueless tourist with finding their way.
And it leads to some extra cash.
That’s what’s on Blaine’s mind when he sees an ad on Craigslist from a certain Kurt Hummel, who is in a dire need of a Dutch tutor.
This isn’t the first time Blaine was someone’s tutor. It’s a great thing, since some languages are so obscure that some people are willing to pay a lot, which Blaine in turn donates to research on lost languages (because that’s the only limitation to his superpower: he cannot speak languages that are lost). Blaine reads through Kurt’s ad, and Kurt writes that he’s sorry that he can’t offer a lot of money, but for some reason Blaine feels compelled to react.
He checks Kurt’s profile. There’s no photo, which is something Blaine’s friends warn him for. Blaine always argues back that even if someone has a photo of a face, you don’t know for sure that it’s real.
Blaine’s made up his mind.
He’s going to react to Kurt’s ad!
--
This Kurt lives all the way in Bushwick. Blaine takes the train and the moment he gets squished against a metal pole, he’s jealous of Wes, whose superpower is teleportation.
Or when he’s finding his way to this ‘loft’ and he fails. Then he’s jealous of David’s navigation power.
Look, being a polyglot is definitely useful, but there are even more useful powers out there! New York’s crowdedness is great for Blaine’s power, but it leads to Blaine being lost more often than he’d like to admit. Maybe he should get over his grudge against technology (it’s an alien thing!) and download something like Google Maps.
Blaine’s ten minutes late, but once he finds the right building, he lets out a relieved sigh. He takes the elevator to the right floor. Kurt had written him that it looks shady and that there’s no doorbell, so when Blaine’s at the door he knocks loudly.
The door slides (slides!) open and Blaine is greeted by a man so handsome that despite his linguistics skills, Blaine’s rendered speechless.

May I have a HC with Roman and Finn/Bálor being rivals and both fall for the same plus size girl and decide to share. 😈 I bet they would use her to see who can breed her the best or who gets her pregnant first 🥰
Oh lawd, this is everything! 😈🥵🔥Yes you can, girl 💦
@theworldofotps, @ava-valerie, @irish-newzealand-idian-dutch, @aerynscrichton, @writtingrose
The only thing a demon King and a tribal chief have in common
Is their competitiveness
You’ve never seen two men so obsessed with winning
Even more when the “prize” was you
They take it to the next level when it comes to creative ways to make the other give up
And the thing is
They never do!
Roman always make sure to grab the room next door to Bálor’s just so he can hear how good the tribal chief makes you feel
Bálor always teleport you two to Roman’s room just so that he can have the pleasure of hearing Roman curse as soon as he walks in
Roman leaves his phone on speaker when you’re having phone sex just so Bálor can hear your moans
For which Bálor’s response is marking your neck with hickeys for EVERYONE to see
“What the fuck is your problem, boy?“ Roman pressed Bálor against the hallway wall
“Boy?“ He chuckled as one eye turned full black and the other red “Be very careful with your next words, chieftess!“
“What did you just say to me, you lil bitch?“ Roman pulled Bálor close to him by the collar of his shirt
“Hey hey hey“ You ran down the hall and stood between them
“Bring it, gobshite!“ Bálor grinned
“ENOUGH!“ You yelled and they both stared at you
“For fucks sake, we’re all grown ups so let’s act like it, shall we?“
“He started it!“ They both said in unison
“I think it’s time for you to end this teenager pissing contest! Now, let’s settle this bickerings as adults, please“ You sighed
“I agree, love“ Bálor pulled you against him “Let’s make a deal, chieftess“ He looked at Roman “The first one to get her pregnant wins and the loser has to say bye bye“ He smiled devilishly
“Oh it is on, bitch! And get ready to go back to Hell with your hand for a wife“ Roman stared back at Bálor with a smirk

Uncanny X-Men Abridged: 1982: Fairytales & Nightmares Edition
The X-Men, those fantastical mutants that have sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them, are a cultural juggernaut with a long, tangled history. We’ve been untangling that history for a while, but sometimes, you really want a more in-depth look. Interested? Then read the (un)Abridged X-Men!
(X-Men 153 & 160) - by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, Josef Rubinstein, Bob Wiacek, Brent Anderson
I love how every character gets hit with a good dose of magical fairy dust except for Wolverine and Nightcrawler, who get turned into the Tasmanian Devil and a horny smurf, respectively
1982 is a pretty arc-based year. Most of it is dedicated to space operas, the Brood and Shi’ar politics (yawn), but there are a few outliers. Most notable of these two exceptions are issue 153 - Kitty’s fairytale - and issue 160, the introduction of Limbo. I’ve chosen to highlight these two issues because they are fun, fascinating and, moreover, they are sort of dark mirrors of one another.
Both feature Illyana as a catalyst for the action; both of them feature someone spinning her a little fairytale..
Both feature alternate takes on X-Men: one high fairytale, the other grimdark.
Both are standalone issues that barely feature into the main Shi’ar-plot of 1982 -- seriously, you can take them out without disrupting any narratives -- while still introducing plot points that would become a part of the X-Men mythos. (The Lockheed dragon; the bamf and, most importantly, the introduction of Illyana as Magik.)
It’s funny how the Brood saga takes up almost 80% of the narrative space this year, whereas the whole Limbo/Belasco/Illyana-thing is almost a throwaway plot that is arguably more iconic for the X-Men currently than the Brood are.
Anyway, context. The mansion is in shambles after the attack on the Hellfire Club. Illyana hasn’t returned home after being kidnapped by Arcade -- perhaps to give Colossus a little relief of his homesickness. Illyana then tempts fate:
Take note of that stuffed Fozzi toy, wocka wocka!
Illyana prefers Kitty to tell the story, and I get it. Colossus is a sweetheart, but the dude’s not exactly light of heart. Piotr would probably tell something dreary and fatalistic about three old sisters in a decaying orchard, while Kitty is a lot more fun.
Claremont shows that he is familiar with the workings of the teenage mind, because when faced with the challenge to tell a story, she does the same thing I did when I was thirteen: she goes for a self insert. And she incidentally writes in the boy she has a crush on as her boyfriend.
Look, all I’m saying, we’ve all been there, right?
Anyway, Kitty’s fairytale. Kitty is a pirate, Peter is her shipmate and they stumble upon a quest when ruffians accost a blind prince -- Scott -- and a wizard on his own personal flying carpet -- Xavier. They help out and get roped into the prince’s quest to save his princess from an evil corrupting influence. Sound familiar?
In true Final Fantasy-fashion, all the other party members are introduced one by one. Kitty calls upon a dragon called Lockheed she befriended while Piotr saves a weather goddess trapped in a bottle by the cursed princess. Best highlights, however, are Kitty’s versions of Kurt and Wolverine.
Way of X, I love you, but take note. Kurt was never meant to be puritan.
One of the best parts of this issue is the reaction shots of the other X-Men who listen in to Kitty’s tale. Most of their alternative versions fit stock fairytale characters, although Bamf is more a Disney sidekick than anything else. Wolverine is straight up a Looney Tune though:
At some point, someone looked at this character design and first thought of Sabretooth, right?
The kicker of all of this Kitty wasn´t actually there for the Phoenix Saga: she only met Jean once, briefly, when Jean saved her and the other X-Men from Emma. Kitty never met Dark Phoenix, she only ever heard the details secondhand. Still, she gets it mostly right: prince Scott and princess Jean are star-crossed lovers until Jean is cursed by a corrupting force. As Dark Phoenix, she is hellbent on stopping wizard Xavier and the prince in their tracks, lest they lift the curse by confronting her with her one weakness.
THE HUMANITY
Xavier uses Jean’s humanity to fight off the dark Phoenix and, in this particular universe, they succeed. Scott and Jean get the happy ending they didn’t get in the actual timeline: Kitty even cures his cursed eyebeams. It’s kind of funny that this is the only happy ending the X-Men will ever get during Claremont’s reign.
Speaking of a lack of happy endings, the dark counterpart of Kitty’s fairytale also starts with someone telling Illyana some sweet little lies:
I’m assuming that the whole Stranger Danger-campaign only got big after the eighties? Illyana has all the self preservation skills of a lemming.
Kitty notices that Illyana has vanished and is curious, following her. She steps on a strange light disk and vanishes.
As a slightly piquant aside, I was pleasantly surprised when reading this one digitally. I own a copy of this comic in Dutch (straight from the eighties) and apparently, they censored the version for the low lands. In a comic with creepy assaultey Nightcrawler and many, many, many naked Storms and Wolverines, this page was a bridge too far:
Look, maybe they weren’t entirely wrong. Last time three guys were bouncing around me and I invited them for a shower, I wasn’t entirely innocent either.
I was “also not welcome in that gym again” but that’s besides the point.
Who knows, maybe they just wanted to cut out the clunky exposition of storylines recent. In any case, the X-Men decide to investigate and they are also whisked away: those disks of light are apparently teleportation circles.
Also, can someone please tell Chris Claremont that German sometimes does have i before e?
They’re pulled into a pocket dimension where time and space are treated as guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. While Belasco taunts Kitty (and pulls her skeleton from her body to keep her from escaping), the other X-Men get separated, wandering about this utterly foreign dimension and encountering future/alternative versions of themselves.
I still love how alien this first version of Limbo is. The comic is titled ‘Shoots & Ladders’ and it’s exactly like that, except in creepy, never-ending tunnels and topsy-turvy, shadowy caverns.
Both Wolverine and Colossus are confronted by their dead selves, killed by S’ym, Belasco’s brutish lackey. The alternative Nightcrawler, meanwhile, has been perverted into a freaky little toady who has no qualms about touching Kitty inappropriately. (He's essentially the creepy, disturbing version of a Bamf.) Storm, meanwhile, is aided by an older, jaded version of herself. She’s also the one in charge of teleportation disks, which she uses to aid the X-Men:
Kitty’s casually waving skeleton always sends me
Storm is furious with what Belasco has wrought onto Kitty, her Mother Bear Instincts activating. She wants to give chase, but that’s when older!Storm intervenes. She warns Storm that this is a crossroads. In her variant universe, the X-Men chased after Belasco and it went badly for them: Wolverine and Colossus died, Nightcrawler turned evil and Storm became trapped in Limbo.
There’s no word of what happened to their Kitty or Illyana, but I think that’s because Limbo does not play by any of our regular rules. See, if Belasco wanted Illyana, wouldn't he have one now? But he doesn’t. So maybe Limbo is the Schrödinger’s place, where the X-Men both did and didn’t chase Belasco. Because if they didn’t give chase, they wouldn’t have the older Storm to tell them they shouldn’t give chase, which they end up not doing. But if they don't, there wouldn't be a Storm to warn them from not going, so they would. But they wouldn't.
Got that?
Just when older!Storm prepares to send them home, Belasco returns with an army of demons.
See? I told you that paying attention to that Fozzi-toy would pay off! (Wocka wocka)
And it ends there, with Illyana rescued from her nightmare, but with the promise of more darkness in her future.
I love how Chris Claremont takes a soap opera trope -- aging up a child in the shortest amount of time possible to an age where there’s more to do with them narratively -- and makes it fit into his crazy X-Universe.
And that’s it. Two relatively pared down stories where the normal rules of reality take a backseat: one to lift Illyana’s spirits, one to break her beyond belief. In a year that’s defined by space opera, these two stories have always stuck out to me, simply because of the way they break the mold of the X-Universe. More importantly, they've given us Magik. And Bamf!
Next up: Brood, Brood, Brood, and Shi'ar.

A/N: The prompt was ‘Percy, Annabeth and Clarisse have a fight and the Olympians interfere.’ I liked it :)
AO3 - KoFi
The Olympians
‘Athena. Poseidon. Ares. What an… absolute pleasure to find all of you huddled together like this.’
Athena peered at her brother. ‘Spare us the sarcasm, Dionysus. What do you want?’
The god took an exceedingly long amount of time to study his fingernails before turning back to his family. ‘Remember, during the Olympian meeting a little while back…’
‘Which one? Hurry up.’
‘I was giving you all examples of misbehaviour your kids conducted and quite a few of the gods, including the three of you, said I should just send in their parents next time, see what they can change.’ He took a deep breath, losing all of the smugness for a moment. ‘Your kids. All of them, led by Perseus Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Clarisse la Rue. They’ve got a quarrel, and I have to admit the three of you might be better equipped to stop it. I drive them apart and next week they are at it again - I hope, perhaps, when you three say something about it, they’ll learn their lesson for good.’
Ares and Poseidon began to grin. Athena repressed the urge. ‘Is that all you want, Dionysus?’
‘You never know, do you, sister?’ he answered, all the previous bravado back on show.
Athena rolled her eyes. ‘We’ll deal with them.’
‘You should have asked us before,’ Poseidon said. ‘Too stubborn?’
Dionysus shrugged, unwilling to answer. Ares ruffled through his brothers’ hair. ‘I knew there’d be a point where you couldn’t handle them.’
Dionysus pushed the locks out of his face, so he could look while his family members strided off. Ah, the duality of men: Both wanting them to fail so they knew it wasn’t as easy as they made it out to be, and wanting them to succeed so that those kids would finally stop attacking each other over flags.
-
Percy crouched next to Annabeth, the red flag clutched against his chest. ‘Where are they?’
‘Sh!’
‘Okay, okay…’
‘Sh, then!’
She peeked past her cabin, at the baricade she presumed the Ares kids were hiding behind. She felt the adrenaline course through her veins. ‘We’re getting that flag back.’
Clarisse, on the other side, did the same thing. ‘Punk thinks she won? Well, she can prove it.’
One of her brothers was running his hands over the smooth fabric of the blue flag. ‘I was there first,’ he mumbled to himself. ‘I caught the flag and brought it back first. We won.’
‘Shut it,’ Clarisse said through gritted teeth. ‘I know we won. We just need to prove it…’
Her voice ebbed away when a bright light appeared. Everyone shut their eyes, shielding themselves against the light.
When the light dimmed, Annabeth gasped. ‘Mother?’
‘What?’ Percy forgot to temper his voice. He pushed Annabeth away, so he could look at the three gods that appeared on the field.
Athena put her hands on her hips. ‘Well? I don’t see anything.’
Ares sighed. ‘Perhaps Dionysus, our little drama queen, was being just that: A drama queen. Like always.’
Poseidon looked around for longer before pulling conclusions: ‘Percy?’
He slowly got up from behind the makeshift barricade. ‘Dad?’
Athena scoffed. ‘A little more respect.’
‘...Dad, my lady, my lord?’ Percy mumbeld, with his eyebrows raised in slight mockery. ‘With all due respect, may I ask why all of you are here?’
Athena raised her chin. ‘First, I’d like to see that my children are really involved in this conflict, or if you are stirring up trouble on your own.’
‘And mine,’ Ares demanded.
In a daze, the Athena and Ares children stepped out into the open. One of the Athena kids pulled the red flag out of Percy’s hands.
Annabeth took a deep breath. ‘Mother, lord Poseidon, lord Ares,’ she addressed them, with a little nod every time, ‘May I ask, why do you require our attention?’
For a few seconds, none of them really knew what to say, until Athena pulled herself together: ‘My daughter, it has come to our attention that there is a dispute going on.’
‘I assure you it is nothing the gods could ever want to be involved with,’ Percy muttered.
‘It’s not really what one would call of great importance,’ Clarisse agreed from the other side. ‘If those little oohoo’s just agreed that we won, this would be easily resolved.’
‘Keep dreaming. We won.’
‘Won what? A battle? Is this about loot?’ Ares inquired.
The campers gave each other uncomfortable looks. ‘Well, it’s about… eh… capture the flag.’
There were no words for a couple of seconds. ‘You have been fighting each other over who won a stupid game? And that has been happening every single week?’ Poseidon asked.
‘...perhaps… oh crud, the Apollo’s are coming over!’ One of the Ares kids yelled.
Athena stamped her foot on the ground. ‘No longer. This… nonsense has to stop right now and I never want to hear another peep about it.’
‘Dionysus has been saying the same thing. It’ll probably happen again next week,’ Percy said to no-one in particular.
Athena had to remind herself that Poseidon was right there to stop herself from learning the kid a lesson. ‘Not anymore.’ She raised her arm. ‘One more dispute about this… this nonsense, and you are all getting classes on proper behaviour, you hear me?’
The kids nodded, suddenly all looking a little afraid.
‘One more question: has Dionysus really been unable to stop all this?’
‘He has tried,’ Clarisse muttered. ‘Quite harshly.’ She shrugged. ‘Yet the little oohoo’s didn’t stop, so neither did we.’
‘Now…’
Athena took a sharp breath. ‘Annabeth, stop it. All of you are coming in, tomorrow, for a class. I’ll take care of it. Don’t ask what Dionysus thinks of that. I’ll... convince him.’ With a bang, Athena disappeared. Ares and Poseidon followed quickly after, leaving a group of astonished campers behind.
-
As they entered Olympus, Ares spotted Dionysus. With a single swipe he smacked him against a wall. ‘Fix it yourself next time.’
‘I thought you were going to make sure there was no next time.’
‘And learn what consequences are.’
Athena coughed. ‘Ahem. Dionysus, they’ve got a class from me tomorrow. About decorum.’
The god gave her a little smile, before teleporting back to the camp. ‘And thanks,’ was the last thing they heard him say.
‘Children,’ Athena muttered, as she stalked off. ‘Am I glad I never was like that.’
A/N: An Oohoo is a type of owl, right? It’s ‘oehoe’ in Dutch, google translate says English is ‘oohoo.’
I've got two more prompts: One about Clarisse going to school after she's been claimed, and one about Clarisse comforting her brothers after a battle. They'll be out soon, I already got rough drafts.
