The fit during daylight hours vs night (aka the short period of time before I fully transform into lounge clothes)

I did not intentionally exclude my head for either picture, but at least it was consistent 🤷🏽

I went to an emo party last night, and it went just as you'd expect it to go

[jazzeria]

One of my favourite Valentine's Day traditions is putting tentacles in my partner. (Wait, no, come back, it's #ActuallySFW)

Squid ink spaghetti, octopus legs, sun-dried tomato pesto with walnuts, sauteed broccoli slaw.

My partner and I eat quite differently. He gets lots of noodle, I get lots of slaw. He gets a big tentacle, I get two small ones.

The Call Of Fate, Chapter 3

The day after Jade first met Arthur, Loki was outside in the sun reading a book on the lawn. He was so engrossed in his book, that it took him a moment to notice someone coming to join him on the deck chair next to him.

Looking up, he smiled as it was Jade. He was glad he was wearing sunglasses so she couldn’t see his eyes flickering down her body to check her out. It was an unusually hot spring day, so she was wearing a vest top and shorts.

‘Fed up of the company inside?’ Loki asked, pretending to focus back on his book. Though he was looking at her at the side of said book.

‘I just thought I’d come out and bug you for a while. Didn’t take you as someone that enjoys the sun, considering how pasty white you are.’ Jade said as she got comfortable to sunbathe.

Loki chuckled low. ‘Same for you, I thought goths melted in the sun?’

‘Nah that’s just vampires.’ Jade smirked. ‘Do you really think I’m a goth?’

Loki laughed. ‘In comparison to the rest of us here, yes. But overall, not too much. If anything, you’re more like a cupcake goth.’

‘A cupcake goth?’ Jade turned her head to him and lowered her sunglasses.

‘Yeah. Slightly goth, but in a sweeter, not too gothly kind of way. Plus, your hair is like icing on a cupcake.’ He smirked and lowered his sunglasses too, winking at her.

Jade shook her head and laughed. ‘Cupcake goth, that’s a new one.’

The two settled back to enjoy the sun. Jade was going to listen to music, just in his presence, but she noticed that he hadn’t actually turned the page of his book in a few minutes.

‘If you’d rather have peace, just let me know.’ Jade said.

‘Not at all. You’re not quite as tedious as the rest, so I’ll allow you to remain in my company.’ Loki said cockily.

Jade rolled her eyes. ‘Was it just me, or was Natasha’s curry last night a bit… uhm…’

‘Disgusting?’ Loki asked.

‘Yeah… Though no one else said anything so I thought it was just me. But I struggled to eat it.’

‘Trust me, everyone else struggled too. But no one wants to tell her how bad she is at cooking after the first time Thor commented on it, she almost choked him to death with her thighs. She doesn’t take too well to bad comments about her cooking. So we just keep quiet.’

‘Noted… What about you, are you good at cooking?’

‘I am.’ Loki nodded.

‘Why does that not surprise me? I’m guessing Gods are good at pretty much everything.’ Jade grinned.

‘More or less.’ Loki shrugged. ‘Although Thor didn’t get the memo… How about you, can you cook?’

‘Not really, but I know it and don’t choke people for telling me it’s shit. The only thing I am good at cooking is Bolognese. That’s it. Anything else I try, is a disaster.’

‘Remind me to never let you loose in the kitchen then.’ Loki chuckled.

‘Unless it’s Bolognese!’ Jade corrected.

‘Hmm, I’m not sure about even that.’

Jade threw her bottle of sun cream at him, but he swiftly caught it before it hit him. ‘You’ll need to try harder than that, cupcake.’ He smirked.

Jade and Loki spent most of the afternoon together, chatting away and enjoying the sun. When they headed inside for dinner, they found a few of the team glaring at them at the table.

‘What’s going on?’ Jade asked as she sat down, confused.

Before anyone could answer, Natasha walked in with Bruce, carrying the last few plates of dinner. ‘Oh you two missed out on the curry leftovers from last night. So you’ll have to cope with Bruce’s noodles, sorry.’ Natasha said as she gave them their plates.

Loki and Jade looked at one another and sniggered, trying not to laugh. Steve, Tony, Vision and Wanda had been first to the table and the lucky ones to get Natasha’s leftovers.

‘What are you two sniggering about?’ Thor asked loudly across the table, making everyone look at them.

‘Just something that your brain would not be able to comprehend, brother.’ Loki said, making Jade laugh a bit more.

‘Oh god. They’ve been bonding.’ Steve groaned and face-palmed.

Loki and Jade just grinned as they began eating.

A few days later, it was finally time for the meeting with the lawyer that Natasha had set up. Jade was feeling super nervous about it, this would either make or break her.

She met with the lawyer in Fury’s office, with Fury and Natasha present.

‘You must be Jade, I’m Richard.’ He shook Jade’s hand then everyone sat down at the table.

‘Natasha filled me in with all the information… This is going be rather short and brief, I’m afraid.’

Jade’s stomach sank and she felt her heart breaking already.

‘Unfortunately, due to this being a family matter within such a wealthy and royal family, it’s something that can’t be won. We could try and go to court over the matter, but it would be a waste of not only money, but time as well. I have spoken to all of my colleagues and other lawyers I know from other firms, but none of us have been able to come up with an angle to attack from where we’d have even a small chance of winning. I’m really sorry, as I know this isn’t the news you’d be hoping for.’  

Jade didn’t respond, she sat frozen on the spot. This had been her last hope, that there would be a way out of this forced marriage. So she could get back home, to her friends and family she’d grown up with.

Fury and Natasha conversed with Richard for a few minutes, but Jade couldn’t hear what they said, she had zoned out completely. Just panicking about her fate.

‘Jade?’ Natasha’s hand on her shoulder snapped her out of it. ‘I’m really sorry, Jade…’

Jade swallowed and slowly stood up. ‘Thanks for trying…’ She then made her way out of the room without saying anything else.

Loki had been waiting down the corridor, but when he saw the lawyer leaving rather quickly, he got worried. That worry grew when Jade stepped out of the room and didn’t even make it a step further before she broke down crying.

‘Jade.’ Loki rushed over to her as she began to crumble. He caught her before she fell to the floor, she cried into him and he pulled her into a hug.

Loki teleported them both to her room, he figured she would want some privacy. But he stood and held her tightly while she cried until there was no more tears left.

‘I’m sorry…’ She whispered as she pulled back from him.

‘No need to apologise, cupcake.’ Loki said softly.

Jade smiled a bit at that, but it quickly faded.

‘It didn’t go well with the lawyer?’ He asked.

Jade shook her head and sat down on the edge of her bed. Loki joined her.

‘I… I can’t marry him, Loki. I can’t. He was awful, really awful. Said I looked ridiculous, that I’d have to grow out the blue in my hair, cut it and get my tattoos removed. He wants to completely change me. I can’t do this, I can’t cope.’ She began panicking again.

Loki rubbed her back soothingly. ‘It’s going to be alright, Jade. I don’t know what we can do, but there will be a way out of this. And you do NOT change yourself for anyone. If you want to keep your hair blue, then you keep it blue. No matter if it’s royalty trying to change you or not. Same with your tattoos, it’s your body. He does not get a say in what you do with it.’ Loki said firmly, trying not to get too angry at the thought of this man.

‘What if he forces me to change?’

‘He can’t do that. If he dares try to, then he will have me and the Avengers to deal with.’ Loki growled.

Jade smiled a genuine smile and she felt a warmth inside her. She knew that Loki was mischievous and could be a bit egotistical sometimes, but she had known deep down all along that he had a soft side and was kind.

‘Thank you, Loki.’ Jade fell into him and pressed her head against his chest.

Loki put his arm around her and just let her be for a while. For reasons he didn’t know, he wanted to kiss the top of her head, but he resisted from doing so.

‘I’ll make you a deal?’ Jade said after a while when she sat up straight.

‘What kind of deal?’ Loki raised an eyebrow.

‘If you don’t tell anyone about my meltdown, I won’t tell anyone about you being so soft and comforting.’

Loki chuckled. ‘Deal. It’s good you know I have a reputation to keep up.’ He winked at her.

‘I know, I know.’ Jade smiled and patted his shoulder.

‘We better go join the rest for dinner.’ Loki suggested.

‘Yeah… save me some food. I just need five minutes to myself, if you don’t mind.’

‘Of course.’ Loki smiled at her again and gave her shoulder a squeeze before heading out.

Jade took some time to compose herself. She had no idea what she would do now, but she knew one thing for sure… She wasn’t going to be alone going through this. She had just under a year to come up with a plan, but she had a God on her side.

‘Why couldn’t he be the prince I have to marry? At least he wouldn’t be trying to change me, and he’s pretty hot… God, what am I saying?’ She muttered to herself as she re-applied her make-up before going to join them.

Welcome to Bun Burger

[dnangelic]

'it's magic' and yet the entire process for daisuke is body horror and rarely controlled

[fairydares]

imo Nirvana was one of Fairy Tail’s weaker arcs but some points were stellar

1. the official guilds decided they needed to create an alliance and show a united front against the dark guilds, so which wizards does Makarov choose to send in the name of unity and cooperation? Natsu and Gray, who share one braincell when in the same room and fight constantly; Erza, who’s fascist on accident unless it's on purpose; Lucy, whose local nickname is “the Blonde Devil”; and Happy, who thrives on chaos and the annoyance of his comrades.

2. Brain is somehow under the impression that Jellal being revived will go well and cause no problems for him whatsoever. After Wendy is forced to heal Jellal, he wakes up and--in true Kikyo form--blasts the shit out of anyone who attempts to breathe in his direction. Then, without missing a beat, he ambles gothly through the woods to make a suicide pact with the gate to entropy without a single thought in his head--quite literally, as Cobra explicitly confirms. Intermittently several people scream at him that he’s a huge piece of shit and they hate his guts and they're going to kick his ass and the entire time he’s like

3. Gray and Lyon fighting together

to beat this guy

who brags literally every single second he's on-screen about how he’s faster than Lightning and even goes so far as to claim he’s "the fastest man alive"--only for it to turn out that he moves at aggressively average speeds and just makes everyone around him move really slow lmfao

4. Angel's entire character design. I'm not denying it's fanservicey and normally I hate that but I just can't make myself dislike this look. Made me wistful on my last rewatch because I personally think her character design goes to shit by the end of the series

5. The foreshadowing of how Wendy is bound by fate and history to both Natsu and (even moreso) Erza. Natsu recognizes Wendy even though he didn't recognize Gajeel. Erza and Wendy notice each other right away. Wendy ignores everyone else's protests and follows her own moral code to revive Jellal, the love of Erza's life and the mage who would wind up up playing a crucial role in helping Natsu defeat Brain/Zero & ending the potential threat of Nirvana. When the Cait Shelter's secret is revealed, Erza is the first one who understands what this will mean for Wendy, and she's the one who offers the girl comfort in her own grief.

6. Debut of the "wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy" Dragon Slayer, AKA Cobra.

7. Celestial spirits go on strike finally. Even though a lot of things immediately leading up to this were kinda stupid imo it was both sad and inspiring to see Gemini and Caelum refuse to attack a mage who treated them with respect and compassion instead of like slaves. These guys need a union. Urano Metria was cool, too, but I don't love how Lucy learned it tbh.

8. I actually thought Natsu accepting Jellal's Flames of Rebuke to beat Brain was a really good poignant moment. Brain said something to the effect of, "The recipient of those flames accepts the sins of the caster," as Jellal was offering them to Natsu, not-so-subtly indicating that Natsu's acceptance of the flames was him taking the first step to forgiving Jellal and accepting him as an ally.
