#having a thristy Saturday

[liminalpebble]

Any mutuals wanna come over to my imagination and have brunch with me? I fucking love you and I love brunch and you know I made buttermilk biscuits and fresh coffee. I have no veranda, but we can pretend we have one, and sit on it fanning ourselves...preening for that lovely dandy, Thomas, as he plays tennis in the yard. (Oh my, he really is exerting himself. What stamina! What a specimen).

We could be flappers, sitting in our luxurious dressing gowns well past noon, smoking joints, and talking about that filthy filthy D.H. Lawrence smut we adore and spiking our orange juice with bootleg champagne. We'd discuss which speakeasy we're gonna swan into tonight, and wonder aloud if Thomas would like to be the meat in our hot reckless bad girl bestie sandwich.

Wudda ya say?

Saturday I went to Music Bank Paris!

I got to see Mamamoo and Stray Kids and it was amazing!

Mamamoo did so well!! They really have a phenomenal stage presence and very clear live vocals.

They did 5 songs: Illella, Starry Night, Hip, Delcalcomanie and Um Oh Ah Yeh!

Which is a completely different set list than they did at KPop Flex in Frankfurt last year! (Hip being the only repetition, as they did Aya, Gogobebe, Hip and mumumuch then. I think they did Um Oh Ah Yeh on the 2nd day, but not on the 1st day that I saw them!)

Delcalcomanie was the performance that blew me away the most. That song really is so incredible live!!!

I was in love! But god I want to see full concert of them so bad!!! Like please please let their tour come to Europe! Pleeeeaaaaseeeee I’d make a deal with the devil! I’d sell like 5 years of my life for it!

And Stray Kids holy shit were also incredible!!

In the beginning they brought all groups to the stage to introduce them. I spotted Mamamoo quite easily, as they were the only 4 member girl group there. But I couldn’t spot SKZ. I was pretty far away, I didn’t know how they were dressed. There were quite a few boy groups with many members, but none of them looked to be SKZ,

Stray Kids were the last group introduced, and I could see in the screens them waving, but I still couldn’t spot them in the stage... Then I realised they were on the other stage sjdglkdfhgfs. So I thought “uuuhhhh they’re like the main event! The last group introduced and the only ones on a different stage!”

Most groups were doing 5 songs (some might have done 4 songs). But I thought “Stray Kids will be last! The closing act and main event, so they’ll for sure do 5 songs as well, maybe even SIX!!!”

They only did 4 songs 😭😭😭 And that is my only critique of the event!

They did Case 143, Maniac, God’s Menu and Miroh. I really wished they did Thunderous 😭 Why did so many groups get 5 songs, but not them?? So sad

But the ones they did were so fantastic! They opened with Case 143 which is super fun. Maniac holy shit I am such a sucker for Maniac. And nothing goes quite has hard as God’s Menu, that performance really burns up a stage. They closed with Miroh and it looked like they just turned the event into their own party! Miroh is so much fun and an amazing way to close a show!

But yeah, much like Mamamoo, now that show also left me thristy for a full concert of Stray Kids. Why won’t Maniac tour come to Europe???? that’s a crime!

Felix tried to say a long sentence in French, but forgot half of it poor thing. I felt bad for him, but it’s really hard to memorize long sentences in languages you don’t speak!

He later publish on instagram the sentence he was trying to say and that’s how I found out that Stray Kids will come to Paris again in July for a music festival. I wanna go bad! It’s not exactly their tour, but at least should be almost full concert! But just Paris again?? T_T

Anyway!! I had so much fun in Paris!! Loved seeing Mamamoo and Stray Kids and the other acts were also a lot of fun! Enhyphen maintains their spot as my 3rd favourite boy group!

Wacky Drabble #16: What Goes Around

Part 2 of Something Flubbed…

This is part of @emceesynonymroll #wackydrabbles

Liam x Riley

Catch up with Part 1

A/N: What started as a crack drabble about tumblr reblogs, of all things, has somehow morphed into a semi-actual story. I'm still scratching my head on how I did it and have just decided to let my Liam and Riley tell the story. Its still mostly crack yo!

Prompt: Was I not supposed to

Word count: 1322

Liam’s right eye was twitching as he shot her a look of pure hell and contention. He stammered for words, unsure of what to say or even think. The last thing he ever expected from Riley was infidelity, believing their marriage was something special, something sacred, something she respected and was devoted to as much as he was. That she had written, in a mediocre fashion, the details of a courtyard tryst with Drake, his best friend of all people, and even relished in the fact that she was doing so, was next to unforgiveable in his mind.

Riley approached her husband apprehensively, wanting to explain herself, if she even could. She clasped her hands together firmly, attempting to control the visible trembling. She knew this was bad, but, was hopeful it could be cleared up quickly. At this point, the truth had to be better than what she assumed he was thinking. Before she was able to inch too close, he held his hand up to stop her. With his mist filled eyes, the ones that were breaking her apart, he began his scathing remarks. “First off…..your friend here just sent you a message asking if some girl named Alyssa should fuck me at Drake’s funeral”.

“Aww, she’s killing Drake off”, her posture slumped as she shook her head disappointingly. Her gaze met his again; realizing he really was in no mood for banter. “Liam, It’s not what you think ”

“Secondly”, he continued with a raised voice, cutting her explanation off, “Did you fuck Drake in a courtyard in Fydelia, writing….and I quote, “his cock is much larger than Liam’s”.

Riley swallowed hard, searching for the right words, ones that were truthful, yet, not so hurtful. She inhaled deeply, preparing to come clean of her offense, "Sweetheart, its just fanfiction and all that Drake stuff was just a really, really bad bet I lost. I swear, I have never, ever been with Drake."

Liam quirked his brow, "a really bad bet, huh?"

"Yes", she answered, tugging nervously at the tie on her robe. " I bet Burnsy I knew Drake better than she knew you, and...."

"Burnsy?"

"...but, when I took Anitah's quiz..."

"Quiz?"

"I didn't know about the mojitos and bears and a bunch of other shit and then Beeps had to make..."

"Beeps?"

"those monster Drake kids that are on my blog and I had to write smut, but, I didn't know how to write smut, so I had to watch porn....oh my god, there was so much porn, and ritachacha wanted to read it and...Im no ritachacha...so I drank and cried and binged on porn and bananas for two weeks solid and I attempted to hide the post but these turmblr girls are thristy and can sniff out smut, even the bad ones and Im so sorry Liam, Im so.....so sorry", she inhaled deeply trying to catch her breath from her long winded tangent.

"I have no idea what the hell you just said", he bit back, completely dumbfounded and baffled by her explanation.

"You don't understand what I said?"

"Do you?", he yelped.

Riley watched with trepidation as Liam tossed the laptop on the bed and eased himself up from the floor, wincing at the shooting pain in his back from the fall, rubbing and massaging the sore spot above his ass.

Riley moved towards him in an attempt to help, concerned about his injuries and wellbeing, but, he jerked away, hobbling to the other side of the room, keeping his back to her.

"Liam", her voice cracking as tears of shame began to fall. "Liam, please look at me....none of that is real..none of it...it was just a dumb bet".

He shot a glance sideways, still not completely looking at her, "so you wrote that you rode Drake's...collosus dick, harder than Seattle Slew because of a bet?".

She chuckled a little, amused by her husband's analogy, before quickly composing herself, "Was I not supposed to?", she replied innocently, "it was a bet, Liam...everyone knows you can't take back a bet".

Liam spun around to face her, shocked at the words that just spewed from her lips, "I see", he nodded, tapping the front of his chin. With a clenched jaw, he breathed deeply through his nose and exhaled sharply, his eyes speaking for him, full of disdain and hurt.

He strolled forward in her direction, stopping just shy of her petite frame. He leaned over until his reddened face was directly in front of hers and just inches apart, his voice clear and firm, "Then I bet your ass won't mind sleeping elsewhere tonight".

Riley's eyes widened, her mouth falling open, unable to find words. She watched in astonishment as he reached across the bed, retrieving her pillow before holding it out to her.

"You can't be serious?"

"Oh, I'm very serious", he stated matter-of-factly, "and if you want back in this bed anytime soon....or my "not as enormous as Drake's" cock, you will delete that fucking blog".

"I don't accept that bet, Your Majesty", she seethed, tossing the pillow back on the bed, sitting herself on the edge with her legs crossed and her hands folded on them. "I'm not going anywhere and I'm not deleting that blog".

Liam perched his lips, gliding his tongue along the inside of his cheek. Realizing she called his bluff, "Fine..", he yanked his pillow up and tucked it firmly under his arm, "I'll be in my study"

"Fine", she shrugged.

"Fine!"

Liam hastily exited the bedroom, slamming the door and did what he said he would do. He opened his desk drawer searching for anything that would take away the pounding in his head and the throb in his backside. He opened the bottle of Aleve and found it empty before throwing it across the room. He kept Riley's Midol in there too for when he needed to quell her bitchiness during certain times of the month. Helps with cramps, bloating, tension, backpain, headaches, irritablity, muscle aches and water weight gain, he had all of them.

Liam unloaded three into his mouth, washing them down with the bottle of whiskey he reserved for when Drake would drop by for a quick drink. He slumped down into his desk chair, still reeling from the audacity and nerve of his wife. He wanted her to feel as bad as he did at this moment, to see how her actions made him feel. It didn't matter if it was real or not, she wrote it. He knew in his heart she and Drake wouldn't betray him that way, but, did she want to? Did she really think his dick was small and that he was an asshole?

He thought to himself as he continued sipping on his drink, how could he make her see and feel exactly the way he does? He contemplated his options for several minutes, when, like a spark igniting, it came to him....two can play this game.

Liam's lips curled into a sinister grin, his eyes lighting up, as he pulled his chair closer to his desk, turning the computer on. He downed the rest of the bottle, tossing it aside, as he cracked his knuckles, preparing to give Riley a little taste of her own medicine.

----------------------

It was early Saturday morning when the sun just started to brighten the morning sky. A bright, warm ray shining through the balcony doors and landing squarely on Riley's face, her darkened complexion glowing more than usual. She yawned and stretched, feeling content from a good nights sleep.

Reaching her arm across the bed, she felt the emptiness of where Liam usually slept. Did she care that he was pissed off with her, of course. She loved him and never wanted to hurt him, but, she wouldn't be controlled, nor, intimidated by him. She was hopeful that by him sleeping in the study last night and a little time away from each other, it would cool him down and they could discuss this rationally.

With another big stretch and yawn, she noticed her laptop still sitting in the same spot on the bed Liam had left it last night. She lunged over and scooped the device into her arms.

Plugging in the charger, she fired up the app and immediately took note of the numerous tags she had from several of her mutuals for the same story. Curious, she clicked on the link taking her to a rather peculiar title:

"Liam Fucks Hana Five Ways From Sunday With His Enormous Dick"

A new collaborative drabble by @fromthedeskofpaisleybleakmore and newcomer @inyourfacerileybrooks-love-liam

NSFW 🍋🍋🍋

He had bamboozled her, and in doing so, somehow convinced Bleakmore to join into his scheme; she knew it was him.

"I'm going to slaughter him...LIAM!!!!!!!!"

Day 306: Saturday November 2, 2019 - “Finger Lake-ing Good”

To be honest, up until a few days ago, I didn’t even know what the Finger Lakes were.  If Id known of them, or heard of them in passing, I passed it off as some region in the vast landscape of “upstate New York” that Id never explored or could place on a map.  But on Friday, when listening to the fall leaf peep report, the Finger Lakes area of central New York seemed to stand out as a place where we might get some sights and so I looked at the map and clearly saw a series of long narrow lakes stretched out west of Syracuse as if glacial fingers pulling back towards Lake Ontario...  I guess we’re going there!   And we plotted a course.  But even still, this morning, as we rustled out of our cheap hotel, the path itself was on clear.  I fumbled with my phone even as we started driving out of Syracuse to pick a road, a place, a path.  I pointed us towards Auburn and Seneca Falls and decided we’d figure it out from there.

In the quiet town of Seneca Falls, there was something historic in the air aside from the old architecture...and we figured it out quickly with signs pointing us to the National Monument.   Dad and I agreed to pull off and have a look - the home of the Womens Rights Movement and the Seneca Falls Convention.  We read up on the history and learned the place as we walked Main Street and found the old Wesley Chapel.  Viewed the exhibits in the museum, that included a bill signed by Obama and statues of the First Wave, and recollected on the rad women in our life and how far positive change has come in such a short time.  That just a couple generations back, the women in our life wouldnt have had the opportunity to vote, let alone run for election.  It was a neat and thought provoking stop and Id later tell AC that Seneca Falls was very definitely totally a womans town.  We got back on the road, and found a county highway that led straight down along side one of the Lakes, Cayuga and we enjoyed what fall color was left.   We passed cidery, brewery, winery.   This area definitely cashing in on the alcohol consumption of tourists.   We roundly agreed that we should find a good looking one and stop....and we found that stop, in the form of a distillery, and determined that we should have a tasting of the good stuff.   Had the ladies been with us, we might have been sipping Pinot or Reisling from the variety of native grapes here....but instead it was Bourbon.   We chose well.  So well in fact, that Dad, who expressed he’d never been to a distillery before and having been moved by yet another new experience, commemorated the event and the day with the purchase of a $150 bottle of 10 year Scotch.  I was so impressed - hell yea Dad!  You cant take it with you!   I told him I would find a good excuse to get back to sit around the fire to help him sip it.  If we ever see a McKenzies on a shelf, we’ll know exactly where it came from!  By far the highlight of the morning.

As we cruised to 70s Roadtrip playlist, across the National Forest, the most vivid fall color was from those grape leaves - bright yellow and still hanging from the vine.  The trees, battered by last week’s storm, only really displayed a boring rusty brown color on the old oaks...but they still looked good contrasted with the bright blue sky and the hills overlooking the lake and the roads were fun to drive with much to see.  We stopped for Coffee in Watkins Glen, posed with an impressive waterfall outside Hector, and then worked our way up to a researched overlook on County Road 12 that I could imagine was just as beautiful in the summer greens as it was in the fall color.  Learned about the native history of this once pioneering western frontier turned thristy tourist villa.   As the sun went out of the sky, we turned our car north towards Rochester and Niagra hoping the rain would stay away...we’d just recently dried out from Canada.  It was a simple day of just driving and seeing the sights and learning about this part of the country that reminded us so much of Northern Michigan.  Out off the interstates, zigging new track south west then North.  Putting the Finger Lakes Region on the scribble map.  Running wild, indeed.

Song: WYO - Running Wild

[Sayori × Player]: Sayanora (part 1 ; trigger warning)

(Author's note: Hope you enjoy! Please reblog, do not repost. Check out @intelligenceagent606 on wattpad to read more of the stuff I write)

"OUCH!"

I can already guess the source of the ear piercing screech, but I turn around anyway. Sayori is kneeling on the ground, art supplies scattered around her on the tiled floor. The corners of my lips twitch upwards involuntarily as I head towards her. Typical Sayori. She's always so clumsy. My smile fades a little when she stops gathering up crayons to she raise a hand to her forehead, wincing in pain.

"Are you okay? What happened?" I ask as I kneel down beside her before taking the box of crayons from her and placing it to the side. I reach out to brush aside her fringe and check the damage, but she bats my hand away lightly. "Sayori, c'mon, let me see your forehead."

Her cheeks redden slightly as she brushes her fringe aside to reveal a red mark on her forehead. A bump is already forming. "I just kinda....slipped."

I wince. It looks painful. Patting her gently on the shoulder, I stand up. "Wait here."

I slip out of the classroom and head to the vending machine to buy a cold drink for Sayori to use to ice her forehead. Grabbing the bottle of apple juice, I almost knock over Monika, who just happens to be heading out of the club room. She seems startled.

"Sorry, Monika!"

"It's okay." She tilts her head to the side ever so slightly as she looks at me with wide, green eyes sparkling with curiousity. "Where are you running off to? Weren't you with Sayori? Did she leave you and wander off?"

"No...I'm heading back to her now. Sorry, I gotta run!" I flash a quick smile at Monika as I jog towards the classroom I left Sayori in.

The moment I pass Sayori the bottle of apple juice, she immediately unscrews the cap and begins drinking. "Sayori, that's for your forehead."

"Oh. But I'm thristy."

I sigh and roll my eyes but I take the bottle from her and gently press it to her forehead. She flinches a little before sighing in relief. "It feels better already."

Her blue eyes meet mine and she breaks into a wide smile. "Thanks for getting me the drink. You know, this reminds me of when we were kids."

"Huh?"

She laughs. "You don't remember? We were always running around, and I could never keep up with you. I was always falling somewhere and you were always there to patch me up."

Her smile fades a little. "I...I miss those days."

Just then, we hear a series of loud knocks on the classroom door. Monika pokes her head into the room, beaming at us. "We're about to start sharing the poems we wrote, so I thought I'd come find you guys!"

I pull Sayori to her feet and put an arm around her to steady her. For a moment I think I see something close to jealously flash in Monika's eyes, but then she's ushering the both of us back the the club room and I don't give it a second thought.

---

On Saturday morning, I head to Sayori's house before Natsuki is due to come over to mine. Sayori's been unusually quiet over the past several days, and I've been worried about her. We go over to each other's houses so often without an invitation that I don't bother asking if I can go over, I just text her the words 'I'm coming over'. Slipping into the house, I head upstairs to her room. I knock on the door to her bedroom three times, then twice, then five times. Our secret knock since we were kids. "Sayori?"

The door clicks open and Sayori peers at me from behind it. Her eyes, which usually sparkle with laughter, seem dull and are red and puffy. Has she been crying? There are dark shadows beneath them. She looks exhausted. Has she been sleeping?

"Sayori? Can I come in? Are you okay?"

As soon as the words are out of my mouth, I realise how stupid they sound. Of course she isn't okay.

She pulls the door open wider so that I can step inside, forcing a smile. "Hey, (Y/N)." She says in a hoarse whisper.

"Sayori, what's wrong? Are you sick?" I press the back of my hand to her forehead. She doesn't feel abnormally hot. I sigh in relief. At least she's not running a temperature.

"I'm not sick, I'm fine."

"I don't think you are."

She can't seem to meet my gaze, opting instead to stare at the wall behind me. "Sayori, c'mon. Tell me what's wrong. Whatever the problem is...we can work things out toget-"

"No. We can't."

"Why not?"

She sighs.

"You're not gonna let this go, are you?" She meets my (e/c) eyes with her blue ones. "I suffer from depression, (Y/N). I've suffered from really bad depression my entire life. Haven't you noticed?" She laughs briefly, but it's a hollow sound. "No, of course you haven't. No one has."

Tears are beginning to well up in her eyes. "Why do you think I wake up late every morning? Because most days, I can't even find the motivation to get out of bed." She takes a breath. "I can't remember the last time I was happy to be awake. To be alive."

"Sayori...let me help you..."

"No, (Y/N). You can't fix this. You can't fix me. I'm damaged goods." She's shouting at me now, tears tracing paths down her pale cheeks. "This isn't some fairytale where everyone gets a happy ending, okay?"

I silently reach out and put my arms around her, pulling her close. For a few moments she trashes in my embrace, screaming at me to let her go. After a while, she finally stops struggling and simply slumps against me, sobbing her eyes out. I rest my chin on the top of her head. I'm crying too. How could I have been so blind to her pain? Where was I when she needed me?

"Sayori, I'm right here, okay? I can't take away your pain, but I'll never let you go through it alone. I'll always be here for you."

After a few minutes she says quietly, "You should go. Natsuki must be waiting for you."

"But Sayori, I'd rather stay to make sure you'll be oka-"

She flashes me a tired smile. "I'm okay. Really. I'm sorry I lost the plot for a moment there. Thanks for being there for me. You should go meet Natsuki. You know what she like." She laughs lightly but I'm not convinced she's fine.

"Why don't you come bake with us?"

She shoves gently me towards her bedroom door. "No thanks. I'm kinda tired. I want to take a nap. I won't join you guys today." Pushing me out of her room, she smiles. "Go on. Have fun with Natsuki, okay?"

The door clicks shut behind me.

http://ift.tt/2qUqkRA Read on our visit to Mother’s Day Singapore 2017 | Brunch and Dinner by FoodGem

Mother’s day is just round the corner on 14 May 2017. Have you made reservation to mum’s favourite restaurant? If you have not, may wish to consider the featured restaurants. Spend with your family and pamper your queen of your heart to buffets, chinese restaurant, elegant restaurant on this special day!

Founder Bak Kut Teh

Over 40 years in serving Singapore’s favourite Bak Kut Teh, Founder Bak Kut Teh is known for its fresh meaty pork ribs in savoury soup.

There are 4 types of Bak Kut Teh to choose from Founder Bak Kut Teh. My favourite would be the Premium Ribs. The meat came off the bones very easily, soft and tender to the bite and marbled with the right proportion of meat and fats. If you are looking for meat with more fats, go for Premium Short Ribs and enjoy the fats that melt in the mouth. If you are more health conscious, go for Popularity Bak Kut Teh and enjoy the meat, less the fats. Soup is warm, peppery with a natural pork sweetness.

It's not over and I'm already missing this event Vodika 😢 (each soul/mate gives me so much glee).

But we will always have Thristy Saturdays 🤤.

There will always be Thirsty Saturdays!

And there's always going to be another event!

@acidcasualties ma’am

Any mutuals wanna come over to my imagination and have brunch with me? I fucking love you and I love brunch and you know I made buttermilk biscuits and fresh coffee. I have no veranda, but we can pretend we have one, and sit on it fanning ourselves...preening for that lovely dandy, Thomas, as he plays tennis in the yard. (Oh my, he really is exerting himself. What stamina! What a specimen).

We could be flappers, sitting in our luxurious dressing gowns well past noon, smoking joints, and talking about that filthy filthy D.H. Lawrence smut we adore and spiking our orange juice with bootleg champagne. We'd discuss which speakeasy we're gonna swan into tonight, and wonder aloud if Thomas would like to be the meat in our hot reckless bad girl bestie sandwich.

Wudda ya say?
