cannon list

first movie:

Wade doesn't actually know anything that really happened to you in the workshop, just bits and pieces that were hinted by Francis.

“You have to live with the shitty thing you did for the rest of your life.”

you love your dad, really you do. but you will always have a bit of resentment for what he signed you up for.

"It doesn't get better, and it doesn't get easier. I can't keep lying to myself,"

during the months you were being injected fluids in your blood, Austin had kept asking his mom to call Wade and see what happened.

“Yo, this is Wade. I’m either out doing mercenary stuff, getting into trouble, or just avoiding your call. Leave a message. Beep”

Anytime Wade sees you with clothes that show your arms and legs, he always thinks about how the scars on your skin were caused by him. (not s.h scars but thunder like scars caused by other types of torture)

“Who knew that bringing my daughter to a workshop full of dangerous crap would be a bad idea? Genius move, Wade. Just chalk it up to another day of being a fantastic father.”

He's never brought it up but sometimes he notices you looking in the mirror a little longer then usual then sees you later in a new outfit of pants or leggings and a long sleeve or cardigan.

"I can't stand to look at my scars, every time I look at them, I'm reminded at what happened. How he failed to protect me and i don't want to hold that against him..."

More often then you two both like to admit, you both make a bunch of self-deprecating jokes about being a bad father/daughter.

Wade: "You know, sweetheart, I always thought I'd be a great dad… but I guess I took 'daddy issues' to a whole new level, huh? Can I put that on my résumé?"

You: "At least you made the list. I didn’t even make it onto the ‘good daughter’ list. I’m just the bonus kid with the emotional baggage. You’d think I’d be on sale by now."

second movie:

When you first met Russell you could only think about how scary it must've been for him to be surrounded by people trying to say they knew how he felt.

"You’re a mess, Russell. But I took responsibility for your actions, and I can’t just leave you."

when you were put in the ice box prison you kind of gave up, just like you father. except since you saw how much Russell was trying you decided to at least help him not get beat up.

"I’ve spent my whole life trying to do what’s best for everyone else. I forgot to take care of myself."

during the whole ordeal your heart and mind were in-between resentment and pity for your dad. he was acting like the world stopped when vanessa was shot when it didn't. you still feel bad for feeling this way.

"The only way to get through the day is to keep pushing forward, even if it feels like you’re dragging the weight of the world."

a secret you didn't even tell your dad was that when most of the x force died you giggled and sent a video to Austin.

"I'm sorry for your loss...*later* Austin i need to laugh so fricking badly but i can't because i'm with colossus. what do i do?"

Wade's a little disappointed in himself for this one but, when you all were in the ice box prison and he saw you trying to keep Russell out of shit, he thought he could leave Russell in your hands and stay out of everything, despite more prisoners getting violent.

"I want to be the person who helps people. I want to be the person who can make a difference. But I don’t know how."

Third movie

the day Wade tried to join the avengers you were chilling with Austin who was on the phone with Peter and somehow interviews came up in discussion and you heard Peter ask Austin how common alliterative names were because Happy was talking about a disrespectful guy that came in for an interview and had a 'dumb' name.

"I’m just a guy who loves a good time. Who cares about the rest?"

when nicepool led y'all to his honda, you were thinking back to peter's situation with two other spiderman and when wolverine and your dad were in the car you couldn't help but ask nicepool how his y/n was.

"You can’t change the past. You can only learn from it and hope that you don’t repeat the same mistakes."

you were friends with laura for a short while at the age of 11 and when you two met again in the void you both immediately did y'all's handshake out of instinct.

“Life is short! So we should spend it having fun and making memories!”

couldn't really think of more stuff for the third movie that would involve spoiling stuff I have planned so it was cut short.

hope y'all liked it!

MCSR D&D

Reign's sheet is FINALLY done and as per the poll I also included his character mini.

The Genie (Efreeti) Warlock 8 / Oath of Glory Paladin 7

Chat I tried my absolute best for a streamer I don't know as well so hopefully this one makes sense and is up to standards :)

So in the polls it was a pretty damn clear consensus that his highest stat would be charisma. Class wise that left me with bard, sorcerer, and warlock as charisma mains and out of those I felt warlock made the most sense. With Con voted the second highest stat, I figured I could get away with a martial multiclass so paladin ended up being one of the better options. Oath of Glory also ended up having a bunch of class features that make sense in my mind so it worked out. Finally I picked Pact of the Blade for a warlock pact in order to give him a bunch more utility as a martial attacker.

We've got two spell lists since both paladin and warlock get spells. This one was a LOT more based in utility than characterization- both because I'm not exactly confident in my ability to characterize Reign and also because this multiclass is a little funky so I can't just go all in on gimmicks. I tried to give him a pretty large amount of charm spells (ie Command, Charm Person, Enthrall) in order to reflect the super high charisma score in a way outside of just pure ability modifiers. Some other smaller references include invisibility (get it like the potion omg so im so smar- *gunshots*), Dimension Door (my mind is pretending this is like the nether and end portals even though utility wise it's infinitely closer to an ender pearl cause it's a teleport), Locate Object (spawner locating), and Enhance Ability (basically can be used for a variety of effects kinda like potions). The biggest stretch reference is Summon Fey and that pick was ENTIRELY because in this AU silverr is fey adjacent.

Here are the picks for the inventory- congrats Reign on being the first person to get a hella rare artifact yippee. A lot of these are slap in the face references: scale mail from the dragon, the brazier sounds straight out of a nether fortress, flame tongue greatsword is basically just a fire aspect sword, and I've been trying to give all the speedrunners something movement based so I added the gloves. Fun fact when you pick the warlock class you get to pick an arcane focus and one of the options was a rod so that's got double utility as a MC reference and also a spellcasting focus. Like the other sheets I gave him pearls but also note that he has a folding boat cause these speedrunners love their mf boats.

This is just the utility of the orb of dragonkind to give y'all a bit of understanding as to why I picked it.

Okay we've got a lot of features coming up so just like be prepared lmao. The top image is just ripped straight out of Tasha's Cauldron guidebook; I thought I'd let yall read about the subclass and judge if I picked right or not. Divine Sense is akin to finding spawners imo, and I picked interception as the fighting style because of the duos runs Reign does.

These are some more features from his paladin subclass that seemed fitting for specifically duos speedrunning. The big one here (and basically the whole reason I split the multiclass 50/50) is the 7th level feature Aura of Alacrity, which deadass just increases the speed of all allies nearby.

Finally here are the warlock invocations I picked up. Agonizing Blast just adds damage to eldrich blast (warlock cantrip aka an attack that doesnt use spell slots) based on your charisma score so it's an ESSENTIAL pick for a warlock (like genuinely if you make a warlock you need this invocation). Tricksters Escape gives freedom of movement which is essentially just a spell that prevents you from getting stopped by difficult terrain- really fitting for a speedrunner imo. Eldrich smite was just so perfect since he's multiclassed into paladin, giving him access to traditional smites.

And to go along with the character sheet I've also got the mini made!

Features I'm Proud of:

The sword is supposed to look like it's made from the ender dragon's jaw, and it's aflame like his sword from the character sheet

The paws/claws that are featured on his gauntlets (they're technically lion paws not bear but shhhhh)

The wand on the ground I colored like a blaze rod (I was trying my best guys there's no just plain rod)

Looking at his MC skin I have no idea what the thing on his head is so I just made it a circlet.

The teal thing is supposed to be the Orb of Dragonkind but with an eye of ender type of color palette.

The thing on his back is technically a vial pouch but I'm hoping it looks like a strap where he could put his sword when it's not in use- all of the sheaths were too small.

Either 🛥️ or 🐦 for the SamBucky romance asks!

Sambucky staples! From this list

🛥️ Meanwhile, on the Boat...

Bucky's phone rang for the fourth time.

"You should get that," Sam panted, though he didn't let go of Bucky's hair to facilitate that happening.

It didn't matter. "Not for half a million dollars," Bucky rejected instantly. He put his mouth back against Sam's neck, working a bruise up to the surface just to prove some point that they'd both forgotten about at that point.

"It could be important," Sam said, half of the thought getting lost in a gasp.

Bucky settled his weight against Sam more firmly, hips pressing into Sam's, thighs holding Sam's apart, even thought he little sleeper couch in the cabin was definitely not big enough for this. "I don't care. Not as important as you."

So true, Sam agreed to himself. If it wasn't for the fact that Bucky's phone was on the floor, so it was vibrating half the ship with each ring, he'd be more than happy to let Bucky ignore it.

It began to ring for a fifth time.

Sam sighed and pushed Bucky back, which wasn't super successful, but he managed to free an arm and could grab the phone. If it meant he strained up against Bucky's flushed body to use him as an anchor, so be it.

"Cass texted you a bunch of nonsense about a countdown. Sarah called you three times. The last two were Cass. Oh, he just texted again to say that... 'Mom's on her way. SOS.' What's that mean? Why are you two in trouble with Sarah?"

"Oh, shit," Bucky acknowledged for the first time in a while. He scrabbled to get off of Sam and only managed to fall flat on his face in the process when his hand slipped off the edge of the cot.

Like some kind of stage cue, Sarah walked into the cabin just as Bucky was extricating his face from Sam's chest. Her mouth curled to one side, completely unimpressed, and she crossed her arms.

"I said distract him. Not steal him away for the whole afternoon."

"That's not my fault," Bucky said. "He's too distractible."

"You're too distractible," she accused. "People have been waiting for half an hour."

"Waiting on what?" Sam asked, shoving Bucky back so they could both sit up. "Distract me from--- Oh."

Sarah threw her hands up in the air and Bucky had the decency to look sheepish. "Can you pretend to be surprised?" he asked.

"I knew I shoulda just brought everyone out here. Given you a real surprise," Sarah added.

"Y'all planned a whole party for me?" Sam asked, feeling deeply touched even while Bucky was getting the Sarah Wilson Special as far as eye daggers went. Sam hadn't seen some of these looks since high school.

"Well, Sarah did most of the planning," Bucky admitted.

"He had one job this whole time!"

"I did my job!" Bucky defended. He threw an arm around Sam's shoulders and grinned in a way that would get him out of a lot of trouble, but not this trouble. "I kept him distracted."

"Just get your thick heads to the house. Please and thank you. And I'm not leaving this boat until you two stand up."

Pointedly, Sam stood up. Reluctantly, Bucky followed.

"A whole surprise party, huh?" Sam asked, hooking his fingers in Bucky's belt loops to tug him forward.

"My job was also to make sure you weren't out of state when it was happening," Bucky added with a pleased little grin. "I kept you home for three whole days."

"Yeah, I bet you were just out there single handedly defeating aliens," Sam agreed. He leaned in for a series of short kisses and had to duck out of the way when Bucky went for his neck again.

"Wait a minute," he said, letting go of Bucky to bring his fingers up to his neck. Judging by the way Bucky was already creeping to the door, he knew the answer. "Did you just put a hickey on my neck before I go see everyone?"

"No one will be able to tell!" Bucky called as he dashed out of the cabin and across the deck to the pier.

Sam was quickly after him, the boat rocking behind them.

[godtier]

so i wasn't gonna make a separate post about this but @sapphire-weapon had a post (that i reblogged a few days ago) in which someone mentioned that they think it was a missed opportunity in RE6 for jake to not have spoken to wesker. i had a p long conversation with sirea about it and my thoughts about that sentiment, but it was also nearly 3 AM my time when that happened so i dunno if i was even articulating my thoughts properly lmao

and yes... this is technically a meta post and i know i said i was gonna do the mmx meta post first... but this one isn't gonna be nearly as long (i hope) and i gotta get the brainworms out before i die

(quick edit note: i reworded the list item below from saying he was "likely a drug addict" to "likely a recreational drug user" because i feel like that better encompasses what i'm trying to get across

(another edit note: i made another post regarding jake's usage of drugs that stemmed from this post! it's marked as mature bc of drug usage, so it won't show up in tag search. if you're interested in that, look here!)

so the idea that wesker being alive in OG RE6 would have brought an opportunity for jake's character is kinda, imo, antithetical to the purpose of jake's character in the first place.

when we meet jake, we know a few things about him, right off the bat:

he's a mercenary

he's likely a recreational drug user or at least heavy/risk-taking user

he doesn't give a fuck about anything but making money

his whole character journey is going from this selfish, money-focused dickhead to someone who actually cares about doing something good, just because it's the right thing to do. at the start, jake refuses to simply give his blood away when sherry mentions needing it for a vaccine. no, he wants a cash payout. 50 million dollery-doos for a pint of his blood. by the end, he lowers the price to a mere 50 dollars. one could argue that was symbolic and he actually didn't care if he was paid or not, but that's neither here nor there.

but why was he like this? because his childhood was shite; his mother was sickly, he had no father figure, and by 15-ish, jake had to learn how to hustle to keep food on the table. and by "hustle" i mean "do a bunch of mercenary work and killing people." and when shit went south with his little group of mercenaries (their entire group was sold out by a heel-turner), jake basically went "fuck alla y'all" and lost all sense of conviction or morals.

during the game, he expresses his bitterness for his father, wesker, pretty clearly. even though his mother still loved wesker, tried to raise jake to respect him despite never knowing him, it didn't matter to jake. he hated that guy. well, really, who doesn't?

we're not gonna talk about excella rn ok

jake's entire character arc is built up around this hatred as well as a subconscious fear of becoming his father. the fear part doesn't show up until later in the story, after he and sherry were captured by the Big Bad's organization. they were both experimented on for several months, during which jake overheard the researchers talking about his father, wesker. this gives jake a sort of "explanation" as to why he is the way he is; he takes the "nature" side of the nature vs nurture argument.

ofc sherry scolds his ass and basically tells him "grow up and take responsibility for your actions."

and here's the thing... this fear, narratively, works just fine without wesker being there.

(since this got obscenely long, pls continue below for the actual explanation lmao)

jake eventually comes to the conclusion that yeah no it's definitely up to him to not become wesker, not his genetics. he does this without wesker being there. that's the entire point of his character journey. in order for an interaction with wesker to even matter or have any sort of impact on jake's character arc, his character arc as a whole would need to change.

see, imo, wesker being there diminishes a lot of the power of that journey. in the game, he isn't there for jake to scream at, to question. all those thoughts in his head that might be circulating around, like why he left his mother, why he did what he did, etc, cannot be answered. this is not a bad thing in a character arc as this is shit that happens to people all the time. people don't always get the answers they may want from family members because those family members are dead. they have to learn to move on without those answers or they have to rely on people who knew that person to fill in the blanks. this is what jake already does in game. he has to rely on sherry, and by a smaller extent, chris, to fill in those blanks for him.

but we as players, observers of the narrative, already know the answers to some of those questions. why wesker did what he did, primarily. anything else is only pertinent to jake and him knowing those answers doesn't change anything for his character arc as it is.

if wesker was there in the game, what would that even add to jake's narrative? a scene where jake yells at his dad? asks him "why did you leave?" when wesker wasn't even aware that he had a kid in the first place? remember: wesker had no fucking idea that he had a child. there would be no reason for wesker to even believe jake in the first place. sure, there could be a scene where he goes "well i'll be damned, ig he really is my misfired chromosome," but... then what? what does that add?

you could argue that wesker could use jake, maybe try to manipulate him into doing shit for his plans, but... that wouldn't work with the way jake's characterization is mapped out. his entire characterization would have to change for this to work in a satisfying way.

jake already hates wesker without ever meeting him. he would not willingly participate in anything wesker offered to him. he already knows that wesker nearly destroyed the world multiple times and had a hand in destroying an entire city. even if jake has no moral compass at the start of the game, by the time he learns about what wesker really did, who he really was, he's already showing that he does have one, it was just dormant up until that point. he's clearly disgusted by what wesker did. what foothold would wesker have that wouldn't immediately result in it just falling flat?

given how wesker is, i could see him perhaps belittling jake, maybe saying "wow you suck for being my spawn," or something during a fight with the intent to rile him up. would that work? no, not narratively nor not in the way jake is characterized. again, jake doesn't want to be like wesker. why would insulting him and saying he's not "as good" as wesker expected him to be motivate jake or even anger him? it shouldn't, because jake doesn't want to be anything like wesker. if anything, it may annoy him, but that's kind of a lame reaction, right?

if anything, the most i could see culminating out of this would be jake standing over wesker after he's defeated again (because it's resident evil and obviously wesker can't win) and having a "wow idk what i was worried about" moment. that's it.

but he doesn't need that. having a scene like that cheapens the weight of him figuring that out himself, without wesker there as "proof."

because the point of his story, of his character arc, is that he figures that out on his own (and with the help of sherry and the events he witnesses) because he has to. he doesn't need wesker there to spoon-feed that to him. he figures that out by working with sherry, by seeing the effects of the C-Virus on everything that it infects. wesker being an abstract entity in his life is enough, because the frustration of not seeing him, not being able to put a bullet in his skull himself, fuels the rest of his journey.

this is where i think that people who make these observations or criticisms (primarily those who think that jake's character would have been improved if wesker was there) need to understand the difference between what's good for a character as a person and what's good for their arc.

interacting with wesker would be good for jake as a person, in that he would no longer need to wonder about it. the answers would be spelled out for him, and he wouldn't have to do any wondering about the what-if. he wouldn't have any doubts left that he'd need to untangle.

but in doing that, it cheapens his arc; it would do more of a disservice to it, imo, than anything else. it would make his journey more formulaic and boring.

it would also clutter up the already cluttered narrative of that game. you have him not only struggling with his heritage, struggling with the fear of becoming his father, struggling with needing to be the "savior" by giving his blood, struggling with his moral compass, but now also struggling with seeing his father for the first time in person?

it makes his arc top-heavy. in that scenario, you could easily replace him with another, completely new character who has zero ties to wesker and the story wouldn't change in any meaningful way. the reason why it works the way to does now is because wesker is already dead. it creates that internal conflict, that internal frustration, that jake has to learn how to deal with since he cannot take that frustration out on his father in-person. he has to make peace with that struggle in other ways.

now, that's not to say there aren't ways that adding wesker into the story of RE6 that don't disrupt that balance. primarily, when it comes to a potential RE6 remake, the writing team can (and hopefully will) rework aspects of the entire game to make the plot more streamlined. this could include adding wesker in and redoing jake's characterization and character arc entirely.

this would be the only way i could see it working out. if jake's entire motivation was changed, his entire backstory was tweaked, then wesker being around could probably work! an interaction between them could be made to make sense and not bog down the rest of the plot as a result.

sirea also mentioned to me in our conversation that adding wesker in to RE6 remake could actually help streamline the plot and i do agree with that. she mentioned that all of the main characters have a tie to wesker in some way, which is absolutely true. having him there would neatly tie their campaigns together in the plotline and make the game as a whole feel less disjointed and messy.

this is especially true when we consider there are 4 fuckin campaigns that all run alongside one another and intersect at random points. it gets so fucking difficult to page through and figure out when certain things happen in the plot. you'll see them happen in order in chris's campaign, for example, then you go start leon's campaign and have to start over again and try to remember what happened at the same time during chris's campaign and so on.

now imagine that not with just two campaigns but four. it gets gross quick. sure, there are parts where the characters run into each other and that helps ground a general timeline in your head, but as far as time elapsed... it's so fuckin hard u guise

there's a reason why it's so hard to summarize the plot of RE6. it's because there is just so much going on in that fucking game.

anyway, that's my rant/sort of meta analysis about why i think wesker didn't need to be in OG RE6 and probably would have made jake's entire arc stupider than it already was

[ivysangel]

listened to a bunch of music tonight so here are just some thoughts (didn't proofread shit):

the boy is mine (remix) - ariana grande made musical history getting brandy and monica back in the studio together to release a remixed version of a song that has the same name as their timeless hit. i'll have to listen to it again but i did thoroughly enjoy it, SO much better than 'yes, and?' ft mariah which was just...oof. but yes. amazing. fantastic. ugh the brige??? so good like i got chills

phat butt - copied nicki's flow and cadence and still somehow sucked. how are you gonna rap about people "biting your flow" as you bite another bitch's flow??? it's not her worst song and it's significantly better than that shit show 'gimme a light' but it's still not on the level that ice spice fans will try to have you think it is. a skip for me

the girl, so confusing w lorde - lemme just say that brat is such a good album and both von dutch remix and this version of 'girl, so confusing' are SO good. charli def has a vision when she's getting these features. i'm not super familiar with lorde beyond royals but i really loved her part and i think it was just so good overall. i also just really like 'girl, so confusing' anyway, it's so catchy. will be going on my summer playlist

chanel no.5 - i have never prayed on someone's downfall harder than i have prayed on camila cabello's. i've said it before but her rebrand is just so incredibly inauthentic. her music sucks, she can't write for shit, and she needs to sue someone over her dye job. like i just HATE. HER. but about the song, BAD. lyrics suck just like 'i luv it' because camila cabello is not a hyperpop artists and doesn't know how to do it authentically which is why she's singing random phrases into the mic over a beat and calling it a day

never be yours - not my fave kali uchis song but i did still like it. i'm such a fan of her slower music so i did very much enjoy the beat and overall vibe but something about it didn't entirely do it for mee. will continue to play 'tu corazon es mio' on a loop until KU5

us. - not a gracie nor a taylor fan but it was cute. was super surprised to see that taylor was a featuring artist???? and not only that but the ONLY feature on the whole album??? was so confused until i remembered that gracie abrams is indeed a nepo baby and can probably get whatever she wants. like i said tho, cute song. haven't listened to the whole album yet tho

dopamine - oh. my. god. a religious experience. no joke. i'm so mad i didn't listen on release night because i KNOW i would've been gagging with everybody on the tl. better late than never tho. a true no skip album. i can't believe i'm saying it but i think dopamine might've been worth the five year wait. i had to force myself to turn it off so i could listen to kehlani's 'crash'. it had me entranced y'all like i can't even function.

not only did the album prove once again that normani's a fantastic singer and overall artist, but that she's a FUHREAKKKKKKK. opening with 'big boy' and closing with 'wild side' is CRAZY. like she really might've just dropped thee music to fuck to bible??? i have to listen to it in full at least one or two more times to compile a list of my fave songs bc rn it's all up in the air but just know all of them were so. good.

[pluto-sims-cc-finds]

Just wanted to ask what your *favorite* like, Top 10 furniture/build cc is? also where we could get it? sry if you dont do asks i just like your stuff

Hey! Okay, this is SUCH a hard question asdfghjhgfd so i'm gonna be super annoying and do a broader version with some of my favourite buildbuy creators. because i am not joking when i say i could easily list like hundreds of my top cc asdfghjkjhgfdfghjjhgf i hope thats okay!!!

asdfghjjhgf this post uhm. got away from me and ended up being SO LONG lmao but i think its worth it!

@teekalu

If you like retro/mid century modern style cc, then teekalu's stuff is ESSENTIAL!!!!!!

literally obsessed with their colour palettes! everything matches SO nicely and you could easily decorate whole rooms/houses with just their stuff alone

THE WALLPAPERSSSSSSSSSSSSS argh my ultimate favourite!!!! like, i mean it when i say that if i could only have one set of CC in my mods folder and nothing else, it would be teekalu's wallpapers. i use them in every single build ever and would actually be bereft without them

not JUST build buy cc but also lots and cas cc!!!! and its all amazing and such a vibe!!!!

@pictureamoebae

did somebody say colour options? because there's COLOUR OPTIONS GALORE!!!!!!

MATCHING!!!!!!!!! leading on from the point about colour options, most of her cc comes in MULTIPLE colour palette options, so the options for matching different sets is ENDLESS. seriously, it's like, incredible and sooooooo appreciated

awesome mix of build AND buy!!! i must admit that i go ham mostly on her wallpaper cc (are we sensing a theme here? listen i hoard wallpaper cc like there's no tomorrow i cant help it) BUT the buy items are ALSO AMAZING???? and again, everything MATCHES!!!!!!!! oh, AND there's some incredible builds, too?!?!? the talent!!! and it would be remiss not to mention that pictureamoebae is like, the reshade master

@kiwisim4

as we all know by now, i LOVE quirky cc. if it's colourful and fun, i'm THERE, and kiwisim4's content totally fits that bill

the tui series is my FAVOURITE!!! the COLOUR! the STYLE! the PIZAZZ!

aaaaaaaand no build/buy cc list of mine would be complete without mentioning the incredible sforzinda. listen, if you see cool clutter in any of my pics, there's a 90% chance its by them

aight they do truly chefs kiss CAS cc, BUT, i am OBSESSED with their separated clutter sets in particular. how many times have you looked at game asset and thought, hey, there's some rlly cute bits in this but then its like, part of a MASSIVE object that you never really use. well, sforzinda basically solves that time and time again and me and my mods folder are SO thankful. AND THE WALL ART ITEMS!!!!! THE MESH EDITS!!!!!!!!!

my most favourite one is undoubtedly the separated little campers clutter set, but also THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS BED PACK!!!! ARGH!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

READING

Finished Daughter of Witches

and also St. Peter's Fair, which I had started AGES ago and sort of lost track of, but I'm doing the January Challenge on TheStoryGraph and couldn't decide what to read next but needed to get my pages in, so I went digging for random shit and I have read it before and watched all the Cadfael mysteries so it's not like it was hard to get into to finish it so I could save my streak.😅

Read A House with Good Bones (on purpose from start to finish in one day!) because T. Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon is absofuckinglutely one of my favorites. (There's a thought here about my occasional forays into the horror genre, and how some horror is almost kind of cozy because it's about protecting what we love from what we fear, and that is very much a Kingfisher kind of thing, but that might need a new post and a more functional brain to figure out where I'm going with that.)

Listened to a little bit more of IT while doing housework; I'm not great at audio books except when I'm driving, but sometimes I can manage a little (and I didn't want to distract myself from dishes by picking up a new book instead). Stephen Weber is an excellent narrator btw, for anyone who's curious.

WATCHING

The husband was sick last week, and I was only sort of doing shit either, so he kind of just put the TV on and let it go and I definitely will not manage a nice list with links like I did with books. There was some M*A*S*H, (oh, I did finally watch the special that recently came out on Hulu), and RoboCop (largely because Thing 1 gave the husband the new game for Christmas) and several different Predator movies of various quality, and a bunch of other stuff I am not thinking of at the moment. I know I picked a couple and watched them myself but with everything else I can't remember what?

Also some Mythbusters when Thing 2 picked something to watch for awhile, which is pretty much always entertaining even when we're like: your sample size is nonexistent and just because you can't do it doesn't mean someone who knows what they're doing couldn't have done it so are you SURE you should have busted that? 😅

PLAYING

I got Garden Story for Christmas and got through the quest-lines and realized I was quite far away from all the upgrades, so I've been periodically poking at it and trying to get my villages/tools better before trying the Final Boss. I have had a good time with Concord though, it's fun, I'm just not sure the leveling functions, such as they are, are paced/balanced quite right? 😅 (Or perhaps I'm just Bad At Fighting In Cozy Games? This does seem to be a bit of a trend tbqh, probably why I liked Wylde Flowers' lack of combat so much.) I also have found VERY FEW of the memories/weird achievements so that's a thing I'm probably going to have to look up hints for soon-ish...

(I did finish Potion Permit last year, which is great, I recommend it whole-heartedly: the potion building mechanic is usually pretty solid, it has good characters, a nice aesthetic, I did actually mostly have fun rolling around and fighting things/gathering stuff, but I did reach the end of the main quest and then go... huh, is that it? just because it, yk, kept going after the finale but there didn't seem to be anything there beyond like, a couple personal quests that needed materials I couldn't unlock until the end.)

MORE ENTERTAININGLY I THINK, we did also play some board games

Paint The Roses is QUITE HARD with only two people even if you stick to the medium level whims; or maybe I'm just not that smart?!? We did in fact survive without getting our heads' chopped off by the Queen of Hearts, but we legit guessed the last two puzzles so. Dumb Luck™️ is not nearly as reliable as actually figuring out how to plot your plants better.

We did Escape the Dark Sector (with more people this time, tbf) on our first try though! That was pretty delightful. It is atmospheric and potentially almost deadly without feeling too awful at any point! Also I got to punch a tentacle monster!

Mice & Mystics can go dramatically bad if your dice aren't on your side and you do like, one stupid thing to compound that, and then if you're invested enough to start over you can suddenly realize you've been moving tiny plastic mice and bugs around the table for like four hours and still only got through the first chapter... but not regret it at all because you like your mice and are very proud of them for finally making it!

Can you tell we like co-op games? 🤣🤣🤣

(I did also do some rearranging so the game room was comfier, so like, win/win I adulted and played!)

THERE WAS NO WRITING OR CROSS-STITCHING OR PAINTING OR ANYTHING ELSE THIS WEEK, so uh. Clearly my balance of activities is bonkers and I should maybe get off the couch/game chair(s) a bit more often.

Y'all after Ukraine was attacked by russia: well Ukraine IS a country of nazis I mean they have Azov right? what do you MEAN it's actually russia that has been murdering gay people and trans people and people of color and muslims and jews and-- Y'all after ~1000 civilians are murdered by Hamas: Yeah we're Team Hamas even though they have made statements saying the Holocaust didn't go far enough in absolutely no uncertain terms as to their meaning and they're best buddies with literal neo-nazis and have trained with neo-nazis and neo-nazis sing their praises and have murdered Palestinian Jews and and claim Jews are the cause of everything bad in the world and gee wouldn't it be nice if all the Jews were dead and--

for a crowd of 'yeah let's all punch nazis' you sure do stand up and get behind the actual nazis awfully quick instead

I want to believe at least with Hamas it is a whole mess of ignorance about what Hamas actually is. Which... honestly just makes me really twitchy because... did no one like... take a teensy little Google search to see what Hamas stands for first before going YAY HAMAS? Cause I've also seen people try to compare it to a bunch of other fights for independence and liberation and like how fucking dare you? How fucking dare you compare antisemitic terrorists to those freedom fighters? Especially when you boohoo Ukraine because of Azov but Hamas is hunky doorey when they are literally listed as an antisemitic terrorist organization w/o any quibbling whatsoever by numerous third party, independent worldwide organizations who make it their job to classify these things.

Which leads into... did y'all not see the part about 'civilians'? Not Israeli Defense Force bases. Not Israeli soldiers. Not even Israeli colonizers or whathaveyou. But literal civilians, many of whom were minding their own business at a literal celebration of Torah. Simchat Torah. A holiday now stained in blood just as much as Yom Kippur was 50 years ago. We can argue who should be settling where until we're blue in the face but I thought we agreed eons ago that civilians are off limits no matter what. They didn't do anything. Not every Israeli is a colonizer. None of them did anything to precipitate the attack. And even then, once again, violence against women is not okay no matter what group you are a part of! AND THERE WERE CHILDREN!!!! What could a CHILD have done?! It doesn't matter which side, a civilian is a civilian and rape is rape! I don't want to be a part of any liberation, support any kind of liberation, with those kinds of ingredients where rape is okay and the murder of civilians is greenlit. You can't tell me you do either. I have to believe you truly don't. You made a mistake. You misread something. You didn't read enough. You did something that caused you to miss the parts that said you shouldn't support Hamas. Okay. Accept it. Learn from it. Stop supporting them.

Bear that in mind when you see posts about how Jews in and outside of Israel are hurting and are now watching in shock and despair as their friends seem to be ignoring all of these facts.

Hamas and russia have many many many MANY things in fucking common and if that makes you uncomfortable then I'm sorry. If it makes you uncomfortable being told the people you thought were the freedom fighter good guy liberator types are actually murderous rapist antisemitic terrorists then maybe that's your own fault for not doing the legwork to find out before you went on a spree of 'yay Hamas'. Do yourself a favor and find a water hose before you burn that bridge between you and your Jewish friends.

And if you actually care about Jews AND Palestinians? Why are you pro Hamas if Hamas has been found to murder Palestinian Jews or indeed any Palestinian they find to be lacking in being a proper Palestinian? I don't know about you but I am so not here for the murder of Palestinians, Jew or otherwise. By anyone. So it IS a mistake, right, to say 'yay Hamas'? Right? We agreed, right, that we don't respond to atrocity with atrocity right? We agreed, right, that we don't murder hundreds of civilians in a surprise attack right? Civilians are civilians are civilians. If it's bad when Israel does something to civilians, it's bad when a Western country does it, then it's bad when Hamas does it. End of fucking discussion.

So yeah. Especially don't talk to the Ukrainian Jew and act like he has no right to be upset and hurt and watch two years in a row as people who should know fucking better are suddenly seeming to delight in the deaths of people they claim to care about and say are worth defending. Or if not delight, at the very least seem to be okay with it even though they should be completely against it.

This is not what liberation should look like. Hamas is not what heroes look like. You are being hypocrites.

And perhaps here's the main thing: This was not actually about politics at all. This was about the hatred of Jews. And it is absolutely 'your bad' you are so blinded by 'Israel bad' you decided any of this was inevitable, was bound to happen just for being Israeli, that it's okay to do. No amount of 'but Israel--' justifies what happened on Saturday. The largest single event massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and you're okay with it because 'but Israel'. At the end of the day that is what happened, innocent Jews were murdered during one of the most joyous holidays of the Hebrew calendar. Hamas didn't do it for the Palestinians. They did it because they want Jews to no longer be on this Earth.

Twilight has issues

Like every other girl, I watched the movies and read the books and now I shall rant.

Isabella Marie Swan is a romantic idiot - Now I get that vampires are supposed to suck in their prey and in a way tend to hypnotise humans so much so that common sense is not that common but seriously who follows a vampire into the woods ALONE. Even with a friend, she would not have a chance but who does that. She finds out that she is a blood singer and thinks oh we can have a wonderful relationship. Sis your blood is his drug of choice you are his literal special walking and talking blood bag. Who chooses the walking undead over their family and loved ones. Mind you ladies and gentlemen I say nothing about money cause we all need money these days can't blame nobody for looking for stability. However, Bella was not looking for stability she was looking for the sparkly disco stick connected to her equals sparkly disco ball of her boyfriend.

Renesme is totally going to hate her mum - So for those that don't know Ragamuffin is the biological demon spawn of Edward and Bella half vampire/half human. She was imprinted on by Jacob Black now what is so off-putting by this is that Jacob was infatuated with Bella throughout the whole series until of course, he made eye contact with Renesme. I should point out he really wanted her dead until the dreaded eye contact happened and the imprint bond formed. Now Reenesme is a bit self-conscious about the fact she does not sparkle and Bella tells her "You're the prettiest" Edward being the dad of the year straight up says "I have to disagree" (those two should not be parents) The kid is obviously going to grow with an inferiority complex towards her mum how will she feel when she finds out not even Her Jacob wanted her initially and that he was in love with her mother.

Imprints - I noted this before with Renesme however I wanted to address something people love to ignore. The bond could be that of a friend, protector,brother/sister or lover so why in the world is everyone letting Sam and Emily off. Yes, Emily is his imprint but he was ENGAGED to Leah her COUSIN and chose to pursue her romantically and no one but Leah is mad at him. Emily tells him no a bunch of times eventually her harsh words cause Sam to lose control and stuff but after that, she starts dating him, They could not have chosen to have a platonic or family relationship no lets eventually date and throw that in Leah's face both of them are in the wrong. Next, if they imprint on a child then that should be an automatic big brother/sister relationship nothing more nothing less.

The Cullens cover story is just awful it is ridiculous seriously Edward, Alice and Emmett could have played their kids and Rosalie and Jasper their significant others who live with them due to family issues or being listed as guardians when their parents died in a horrible crash three years ago. They just had to use the most outrageous cover story out there and it shows.

Bella did one thing right - Bella ensured herself a comfortable future I mean the Cullens are loaded she will never be wanting for anything ever, unfortunately, she will have to continuously attend school for the rest of her immortal life.

BLOODLUST IS AN EMOTION AND SO IS HUNGER - Y'all Jasper is an empath and he lives with a group of vampires to be clear he lives with Edward who is struggling not to drain his blood singer on a daily basis. The Cullens owe him a huge apology that was not his fault.

Esme is the only one with a fully developed brain- Esme is the oldest out of all the Cullens she was turned when she was 26 years old one year after the brain is said to fully develop. No wonder she seems to be the sanest person in that family.

Stuck in time - WHile they have lived for a very long time and adapted the Cullens still maintain many of their learned habits from their times and as they are frozen at that age I would have to assume that they maintain certain thoughts and opinions of their time. I'm slowly hinting at the fact that Jasper was a Confederate solider so he may be quite racist..........

Optional Mission: Ask The Mechanic

"So, you've never been with anyone you're whole Vault Hunting career, Amigo?" Mordecai asked you with a raised brow. You and the other Vault Hunter all sitting at a table in Moxxi's bar. All of you finally having a moment of freedom to spend with one another, since you were all most of you had.

"Nope, just never found the time to really do anything with anyone." You told him with a shrug, that was partially true. Eyes darting over to Lilith as she raised her drink to take a sip with a smirk. She was your best friend, the reason you were sitting at the table with a bunch of Vault Hunters. So she of course knew the real reason why you had never even thought of sleeping or seeing anyone. Scooter Hodunk was the reasons name, and he had consumed your every thoughts since the moment you had met him nearly five years ago.

It started out as a good friendship, that slowly progressed to where you were now with the greasy mechanic. He was always so bubbly and kind to you, you never understood why so many people took advantage of him. He was always there for everyone, no matter the circumstances.

You had repeatedly gone to Lilith to rant about how oblivious he was. Along with worrying that he didn't feel the same, the Siren always reassured you that that wasn't the case. He may have confessed to everyone else he had a crush on in his life, but the only reason he hadn't with you was that he was genuinely scared of losing you.

"Oh come on, don't lie to us, you got somethin' you're hidin'!" Brick shouted across the table, rolling your eyes with a sigh. You were good at hiding your emotions from others, but these guys have been around you for the past five-plus years. They knew when you were overthinking or lying. "Alright, there is someone on my mind."

Everyone stared at you, waiting for you to continue. "Did you sleep with them?" Brick asked, your eyes narrowing on the brute. "What? No! I just have them on my mind," "A lot," Lilith chimed in, and suddenly all eyes were on her. Trying to get intel out of both of you. They had to be the nosiest group of people that you knew.

"Oh come on, who is it? I swear we won't tell them," Mordecai told you with a grin. "Oh please, I told you to keep it a secret that Tina and I lost Roland's hat when we were making his BnB piece and you snitched the moment I told you." You snapped at Mordecai, and he shrugged. "Well, this is different, amiga." He told you with a chuckle, running a finger in an 'x' motion over his heart. "Cross my heart, hope to die." Everyone else copied Mordecai's actions, though it still didn't make you feel any better. Crossing your arms over your chest.

"I'm not saying a damn thing." You told them all, and a sigh left each and every one of their mouths. Heads rolling and falling back in defeat. Besides Roland, he could hardly care, he just found the whole situation amusing.

"Hey guys, I didn't realize y'all were having a mandatory meeting' here tonight!" That familiar voice rang through your ears. Looking up to the figure that was standing beside you. Of course, you had seen them approach the table, you were a bounty hunter, and you notice things. You just hadn't noticed it was Scooter from the position you were sitting in.

"Scooter! Come join us, this ain't no meeting!" Mordecai chimed, the rest of them agreeing with him. The man pulling a chair up to the table to sit in between you and Roland. "Well don't mind if I do! I love hanging out with you guys, you always have the most badass stories, but if I am intruding please let me know." You smiled at his thoughtfulness, shaking your head. "You aren't intruding, Scoot," You told him, and he looked over at you with a smile. The both of you starring a bit more than you should have. "Well, thanks man, I appreciate it." You nodded, looking back to the others who were all giving you a questioning brow.

A few more rounds of drinks later, Scooter finally asked a question that had you regret allowing him to sit at the table. Let alone right next to you. "So what were you guys talkin' about when I first got here?" Everyone let out drunken chuckles and laughs, pointing over to you and grins. "Oh, we were just trying to figure out who y/n likes," Lilith told, looking over at you with a grin. Shrugging her shoulders with an innocent gaze when you glared.

"Oh really? I didn't know Vault Huters could like people. I mean I guess it makes sense, 'cause of Lilith and Roland, I mean it ain't forbidden is what I'm tryna ask?" You all laughed at this, and Brick was shaking his head. "No, you silly mechanic, of course it ain't forbidden. We can still have lives, we just gotta know we can handle it." "Well," Scooter looked over at you with a small smile, though you could see a bit of sadness in his eyes that threw you off guard. "I'm sure whoever it is is amazing for someone like you to like 'em. I mean, you're just so badass, and strong, and..." He trailed off, staring at your lips for a second too long before looking up to your eyes. "I'm gonna stop talkin' before I regret what I say next, I gotta get back to the shop anyways. Marcos' got this car I need fix up for him, and ya know how crazy he can get." He told you all with a chuckle, standing before pushing his chair in behind himself. "Well, toodles," He spoke, scurrying off before any of you could stop him.

You all watched the guy leave. Staring with questioning gazes. "What the hell was all that about?" You muttered, feeling a bit self-conscious, worrying that you may have done something wrong. "I think Mr. Catch-A-Rides got a little crush," Brick drew out with a giggle, Lilith clapping her hands together. "See, I told you!" She blurted, and everyone's eyes were back on you.

"Scooter?" Mordecai spoke with raised brows. "You like Scooter?" He grinned, putting two and two together. "I'm not judging, I think you two would be cute," He chuckled. "I say you should go tell him," Lilith told you. "I second that, the least he could say is no, he cherishes your friendship too much to ignore you afterward. Plus," Roland leaned in a bit closer to you, turning so he was now facing you, a hand resting on your shoulder. "I really don't think that he'd tell you no." He smiled, and for some reason, Roland's word was more reassuring than you thought they would be. All of their support was. They were your closest friends after all, and hearing that they think he'd say yeah, made you smile. "Really?" They all nodded, saying words of agreement. "Go get him!" Mordecai chimed as you stood up from your seat. It felt like a mission you had to accomplish, and your reward would either be heartbreak or possibly a partner.

Your knock on his door made him freeze what he was doing. He was tidying up his shop that was growing more disorganized with each passing day, but for some reason hearing that you might like someone who he knew wasn't him hurt him a lot more than he thought. Causing him to stay up and clean, rather than hitting the hay like he normally would after he got home from Moxxi's.

"Just a second!" He shouted, hoping whoever it was would hear. He made his way over to the door after quickly finishing what he was doing, opening it cautiously. You never know who you might see on the other side, and if they'd be happy or not to see him.

When he saw your face he felt his heart sink. You were the last person that he wanted to see right now, but he couldn't tell you that. He knew it would make him look petty and he feared losing you oh so bad. "Hey Scoot," You told him with a small smile. You were thankful tonight you only decided to have one drink. You knew if you were even close to drunk he wouldn't listen to a word you had to say and he'd blame it all on the booze. "Hey y/n, what's goin' on? You get kicked out of the bar?" He joked, stepping aside from the door so you could come in. Cursing himself mentally for not coming up with an excuse to be left alone.

You laughed at his comment, and he felt his heart jump in his chest. He loved hearing your laugh so much. "No, Moxxi likes me too much," if only you knew why. Scooter rambled about you to his mom and sister more than he would like to admit. So much that Ellie would try and drop hints to you anytime you had a mission from her, but alas. You were just as oblivious and always assumed Scooter never felt the same.

"So.." He spoke, rubbing the back of his neck while the both of you stood on the metal platform that led into his shop. "So," you mocked back, trying to think of how you were going to do this. You should have asked for more advice from them all. "Well, can I talk to you, Scooter?" You asked, and he nodded with a smile. "Yeah, of course, you can always talk to me. I always got your back, no matter what." He told you, and it had you smiling more than before. You always loved how supportive he was with you.

You led him over to his personal part of the shop so the both of you could sit. Sitting on his bed like the two of you had done many times before when one of you need to rant about something. So Scooter expected you to rant about something one of the other Vault Hunters had said to you. Preparing himself for something absurd that Brick said, or something crazy that Lilith told you, but the nervous look on your face told him otherwise.

"What's going on?" He asked you, slightly turning his body to look at you. "Well," your hands fidgeted in your lap. Eyes fixated on the ground before you could really look up to stare at the wall in front of you. "Remember when they were all trying to figure out who I like?" His expression dropped, reading this very moment. He'd been friend-zoned so badly that you were now coming to him about your stupid crush on this mystery person. God, could his life be any more miserable. "Yeah," his voice wavered, "how could I forget?" He tried to stay positive, but a hint of dread was laced in his tone that you picked up on. "Could I ask for advice?" Hell, what had he done to deserve this? "Yeah, of course, what's you wantin' to ask?"

You paused, licking your lips with a sigh, "well, I just wanted to know if you would suggest I hint to him that I like him, or if I should just be straight up?" Scooter frowned a bit, moving so he was no longer facing you and his feet were planted on the floor. His hands also in his lap, rubbing them together while he sighed. "Well, I would say be straight up, the last thing you want is mixed signals. It's a lot easier if you just tell them, hey, I like you. Rather than hinting and hoping' they get it. I know I suck at takin' hints." He told you, avoiding your gaze when you looked up at him. "Yeah, you really do suck at taking hints." Your voice was soft, and between that and your words, he was left stunned. "What?" He asked, looking over to finally meet your eyes. "Scooter, I like you." He nearly malfunctioned hearing those words.

It took him a second or two to process what you were saying, but when he did he was jumping to his feet to pace around. A surge of energy rushing through his core. "Really?! I mean, shit! I thought you were comin' to me this whole time to tell me about some badass you met while on a mission or somethin'! Not that you like me, I mean. I just don't seem like your type at all." He rambled, and you snickered a bit at how cute it was. "Scooter," he ignored you. "You're just so badass and cool and funny, I didn't think you would like me, that's why I ain't never told you," "Scooter..." "Plus, goddamn aren't you sexy, you're just everything a man could dream of, truly!" He chimed, and you smiled. You stood and grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer to you. Your other hand resting on the side of his neck. A deep blush settling on his face that made you smile. You wished you could take a photo and save it for later.

"Yeah?" he muttered under his breath and you chuckled. "You need to stop talking about yourself like that. I'm just as shocked you like me back. You're so smart, so cute." He glanced to the side with a smile, internally screaming. "Ah jee, ya got me all flustered, I ain't nothin' that special." He told you, his hands coming to reluctantly rest on your chest, to which you chuckled. Your hand on his neck moved around to the back of his head to run your fingers through his hair. "But you are something special, Scooter." You told him with a grin, leaning in so your lips were nearly touching his.

The touch-starved man was nearly in tears with how softly you were touching and holding him. He had never felt this loved by anyone before, and he was so happy that it was you making him feel this way. He couldn't have asked for anything more. You simply holding him and looking at him the way you were was enough for him, but you went ahead and made the deal even better. With your lips pressing against his own.

He swore this was a tactic for you to kill him. He somehow got on someone's bad side and there was a bounty on his head. You took up the offer and this was how you were going to kill him. Distracting him, or simply sucking his soul out of his body through a kiss. It was hard telling, really, but he wasn't exactly complaining. His eyes shut and hands trail over your chest up to wrap around your neck. If this was how he'd die, he'd die the happiest man in Sanctuary.

When you pulled back from the kiss, he had to force himself to open his eyes. Staring up at you with the dopiest look you've ever seen on the man's face. "Wow," you chuckled, thinking you finally put the guy at a loss for words, but he shortly proved you wrong. He just had to think of how to word what he wanted to word. "I thought you were tryin' to kill me, suck my soul out of my body or somethin' with that kiss. I wouldn't be complainin', ya know?" He told you with a sheepish smile.

You rolled your eyes. Leave it to Scooter to say something like that, leaning in with a sigh to kiss the corner of his jaw. "Well, I wasn't trying to kill you, but..." You trailed on, running your hand on the back of his head to trail down his chest and stomach. "I could suck the life right out of you another way if you really wanted." His eyes widened, looking over at you with a shocked glint in his eye. The Gods were really testing him today, weren't they?

(If you want a smutty part two just ask, you didn't say you wanted NSFW so I ended it like this to stay safe😌)

[karlyboyyy]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....

Okay first of all - thank you so much for sending me this ask! I haven't received an ask since like 2018, and I really like answering questions! (are any of y'all old enough to remember Formspring? I loved that shit lmao)

Second of all - this took me forever to think of! I suddenly forgot all pieces of media that I've ever consumed. Plus I wanted to make sure I had a mix of stuff lol

Anyway, here's what I've come up with, in no particular order :)

David Rose | Schitt’s Creek

David Rose is honestly so important to me. When I first started watching Schitt’s Creek, I was just like “oh haha sassy queer man, so funny!” But then as the show progressed, I found myself identifying so much with the character. And then I decided to rewatch the show… four more times over the next few months. Like I just kept going back to it. And eventually I thought “ya know… why do I identify so much with a queer man? I’ve never thought of myself as queer and I’m not a man… so why?” Which led me down the rabbit hole of watching other queer-centric shows and doing a bunch of internet searching of sexuality and gender identity. And I honestly learned so much. Like it’s crazy how much I just assumed about a lot of stuff without ever thinking too deeply about it. And wouldn’t you fuckin know it, I realized I was bisexual. And then the more and more I thought about how I see myself and how I wanted others to see me, I decided that yep, I’m not a man… but I’m also not really too attached to being a woman either. So here we are today, just a big ol’ bisexual nonbinary androgynous blob. All thanks to David Rose!

2. Karasuno VBC | Haikyuu!!

Is this answer cheating? I feel like it’s cheating. But I’ve tried - I’ve reeeally tried - to pick a favorite character from Haikyuu, and I just cannot. So I’ve chosen the entire ‘12-‘13 Karasuno High School Volleyball Club (coaches and managers included!). I just love them each so much for different reasons. Like, Hinata is such a sweetheart and I’m so proud of him by the end of the series! Kageyama is my baby, my sweet grumpy dumb-dumb baby. Sugawara is probably the one I relate to the most, coming off as shy and calm but in reality he’s a little insane. And Asahi! My sweet sensitive Asahi, I love him so much. I could ramble on for days, but I won’t. Just know that I would fight to the death for these fictional characters. 

3. Power | Chainsaw Man

Since I’ve decided that I’d only do one cheat answer, I can’t list the whole Hayakawa family as one character. That said, I’d have to say Power is my favorite of the trio. She’s loud and obnoxious and egotistical and powerful and silly and gross and honestly everything I wish I could be. 

4. Xie Lian | Heaven Official’s Blessing

Xie Lian is so awkward, but he’s low-key hilarious. There’s a moment in chapter 6 of the first novel, where he was worried because he didn’t have any shrines or worshippers dedicated to him in the mortal realm. But then, there’s this excerpt: “And one day, on a whim, he suddenly thought: If no one worships me, I’ll worship myself! None of the heavenly officials knew how to respond to that. Who had ever fucking heard of a god worshipping himself?! To reach such tragic heights, what was the point?! However, Xie Lian was used to receiving nothing but awkward silence the moment he spoke and thought amusing himself could be fun.” Like… that whole ‘fuck it, I’m just gonna do whatever the hell I want’ attitude gives me life. On top of all that, he’s a cheapskate scrap collector, a terrible cook, and has the worst luck. But he’s a total sweetheart, he tries his best at everything he does, he’s always trying to help people, and HELLO he’s got Hua Cheng wrapped around his finger. 

5. Uramichi Omota | Life Lessons With Uramichi-oniisan

My favorite depressy boi. Life Lessons is so freakin funny and way too goddamn relatable. I think I have four different magnets at my desk at work with images / quotes of Uramichi from the show and manga. There's not much else I can say other than he speaks to my soul.

6. Kageyama “Mob” Shigeo | Mob Psycho 100

The goodest boy!! A friend actually recommended Mob Psycho to me, and at first I was a little skeptical. But by the third episode I was hooked. And by season 3, I found myself literally sobbing. Just seeing Mob’s growth throughout the show, and how his kindness impacted so many people around him… it just fills my heart. But also the moment where he almost loses himself to the ???%… just wow. The whole message of that show is so so good and I will literally recommend it to anyone and everyone. 

7. Sasaki Shuumei | Sasaki and Miyano

The sweetest cinnamon roll!! The way he truly loves Miyano is so refreshing. Sure, he has the whole “but he’s a guy…” thought at first. But he gets over that fairly quickly. He just knows that Miyano is cute and he genuinely wants to get to know him. He actively engages with Miyano to try and learn about his interests and hobbies. He reads all the BL Miyano lends him. He gives his honest feedback about each story! He stands up for Miyano’s interests. He confesses to Miyano pretty early on, but recognizes that Miyano may not reciprocate those feelings right away. He continually reassures Miyano that his feelings are strong, but he’s not pushy about it. It’s more like he wants to make sure Miyano doesn’t see his feelings as a passing whim. And when they finally get together, he’s not shy about their relationship. He talks about it to his friends and family. When the two of them start to get more physical, Miyano voices his concern about who’s going to be the “bottom”. And Sasaki’s immediate thought was that he didn’t really care which way they went, he just knew that he wanted it to be with Miyano. And my GOD I loved seeing that. I feel like discussing your sexual preferences with your partner and figuring out what you’re comfortable with doing is SO important, but that aspect of starting a new relationship isn’t portrayed nearly enough in BL stories. It’s usually just one guy being a little nervous about being bottom and the other guy automatically assuming they’re the top, with zero communication. Anyway, I digress. Back to Sasaki. My cinnamon roll. I just love him. 

8. April Ludgate | Parks and Recreation 

Parks and Rec will always be one of my comfort shows. And I first watched it when I was about the same age as April - young enough to not really know what I wanted to do in life and also not really caring about that stuff just yet. I loved her dry sense of humor and her sarcasm. And watching her grow into someone with more confidence in her career and relationships was amazing. Also fun fact, when I interviewed for my first role at my current workplace - which happens to be an Indiana government entity - I was asked why I was interested in government work. And I straight up said that Parks & Rec made it seem interesting lmao. They must have liked that answer, because I’m still there almost 4 years later and have promoted up since then! 

9. Dorothy Zbornak | Golden Girls

I first watched Golden Girls when I was in college, when my roommate was like “I promise you’ll like it, it’s so funny” and I was like bitch… it’s an old show about old ladies. But she was RIGHT. It’s hilarious. And honestly so wholesome. And ICONIC (I mean come on. This show talked about women's sex lives, old women's sex lives at that. And LGBT+ issues. And workplace harassment. And invisible illnesses / disabilities and the struggles of getting your doctor to actually listen to you. All of this in the '80s, no less!) And I feel like most people liked Rose because, duh it’s Betty White. But Dorothy was my jam. She was sarcastic and always annoyed by something (same). But she genuinely cared about her friends. And look. I ain’t gonna lie. That deep, almost raspy voice of hers? Hot. 

10. Jake Peralta | Brooklyn 99

He’s honestly so annoying, but I love him. He gives off this “I’m gonna do the bare minimum and be silly the whole time and STILL get the fuckin’ job done” vibe, and ya know what? He does just that. He’s actually a great detective and problem solver. He just also knows how to have fun. And his relationship with Amy is one of the few straight(-passing) relationships that I honestly love so much. They’re so cute and pure and goofy and relatable. And don’t even get me started on his friendship with Rosa. I mean, he went with her when she wanted to come out as bi to her parents!! Aahhhh!! Lastly, his flannel / hoodie / leather jacket combo? Pure bisexual fashion and I am here for it.

Wednesday, August 28th, 2024.

When was the last time you climbed over a fence? I have no idea. (Btw, I'm just starting this survey to kill time before heading out to the Mountain Park. I'll probably finish it later today or tomorrow. Just letting y'all know in case there's any chronological weirdness in any of my answers.)

Does your pet wear a collar? No. I'd be afraid of them getting it stuck on something, plus they're indoor cats as it is.

What is the first thing on your Christmas Wishlist? I don't have a Christmas wish list.

What would you do if your mom/dad saw a hickey on you? I wouldn't allow anyone to give me a hickey in a visible place…or probably at all, for that matter.

What goal are you working on this month? I don't have any new specific goals. Pretty much everything I'm working on is just a continuation of something already in progress.

What could you say is your biggest time waster? Listening to YouTube videos and taking surveys. Imagine how much more productive I could be if I channeled all that YT time into something useful. :')

When was the last time that you were asked out somewhere, and you declined? I'm not sure. I was considering declining any invites from my mom this Wed-Thurs because I wanted some time to myself without any social obligations, but the movie she wanted to see wasn't out yet so I'm good.

If you’re listening to music, name a lyric from the song. I'm not listening to anything.

Are you a sound sleeper? I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't wake up over every little sound, but I'm easy enough to wake if need-be.

In your opinion, which is more attractive, nice biceps or washboard abs? How about an "average" combination of both - like sorta nice abs and sorta nice biceps - that way they don't look oddly disproportionate.

How do you feel about bands that use pyrotechnics in live concerts? I'm not much of a concertgoer, so I don't really have an opinion on the matter.

Why do you hate your ex? I don't hate any of my ex-partners.

Does anybody hate you? I suppose it's possible.

Trust issues? I've got 'em. I think I may also be spending too much time around untrustworthy people. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming dynamic shift at the animal shelter. Alex leaves on the 21st of September and Diane isn't scheduled back in cattery for the time being, so…yeah. I'm counting down the days. It will be interesting to see how the atmosphere changes. I wonder if Kristen will be the next cattery lead; she's got so much potential.

If you were pregnant, who would you tell first? Ugh.

Do you think that you’re good enough for the one you like? There is no such person. In general, I struggle with thoughts of not being good enough. It's hard to determine where the negative voice in my head ends and the truth begins.

Did you speak to your father today? Yes. I spent most of the day with him.

What is your father’s middle name? Blah.

When was the last time you had alcohol? At that fundraising event about a month ago. I tried a few sample beers.

Last person of the opposite sex you gave a hug to? Nan. She's a volunteer at the shelter who does a whole bunch of our dirty laundry.

Have you ever met anyone who claimed to be a witch? I've met people who practiced witchcraft in some capacity, but I don't think I've met anyone who outright claimed to be a witch.

What’s the weirdest thing in your body that you can crack? Nothing weird. Just my neck and my wrists.

Do you know anyone with asthma? My mom and sibling.

Have you ever been involved in a custody battle before? No.

Who was the best kisser you’ve ever dated? Probably my most recent ex.

Have any of your siblings ever had a crush on your significant other? No.

Are your siblings nice the majority of the time? I don't know what my sibling is like these days. I haven't had any contact with them since 2013-2014. In the past, I would have considered them rather volatile.

Any other names your parents planned to give you? I think Tristan was a possibility. I don't remember any other potential names. Now I'm curious, though. I'll have to ask my dad when he wakes up from his nap.

Are you healthy? I do have some issues (mainly migraines and questionable mental health), but generally speaking…I'd say I'm "functional."

Number of jeans in your closet? I'm not sure. There are probably at least a few pairs stuffed in there somewhere, but I don't tend to wear jeans these days.

Rihanna or Lady GaGa? I guess Lady Gaga.

Which was the last book that really captivated you? The first book in the Dune series. The following two (the third I still have yet to finish) were just "eh." Not bad, but not on the same level as the first.

Do you prefer nail polish with sparkles in it, or matte colors? I don't really have a preference.

Have you ever had a teacher you got really close with? No.

Can you actually picture yourself getting married/having kids, or is that something that seems too distant in the future to imagine? I can kind of picture myself getting married, but it's more like a distant daydream than anything grounded in reality. As for children, I don't want them. I will occasionally imagine it in a purely hypothetical sense (almost like an idealized form of nostalgia for the positive aspects of my own upbringing), but that's it.

When’s the last time you spent time with your cousins? Childhood.

What’s your younger sibling’s name? Blah.

Do you have an idea of what kind of profession you’d like to have? Yeah.

Do you ever pick up your house phone? No.

Is your sister a slut? No.

Do you ever think about what went wrong in your first relationship? Lmao my first relationship was in middle school, so…not really…? I'm more likely to apply that sort of thinking to my last two relationships.

If you had to get a piercing (not ears) what would you get? Maybe my nose. I have a bad track record of piercings getting infected, though. My lip piercings are the only ones that haven't given me any trouble.

If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be? No thanks.

If you woke up naked next to the last person you texted what would you say? What the actual fvck.

Ever been kissed under fireworks? I don't think so.

How would you react if a doctor told you that you were infertile? Whatever.

Do you get along with your best friend’s parents? I don't know my best friend's parents. I don't think they're even in touch.

Have you ever been in a relationship where you didn’t get along with the person’s parents? No.

How many people of the opposite sex have you said “I love you” to? Idk.

The person you fell the hardest for says they never felt anything for you. What do you say? Idk. It doesn't make much of a difference at this point.

Who was the last person to tell you that they find you attractive? A past partner.

What was the last compliment you paid to someone of the opposite sex? I'm not sure.

How often do you listen to music? I listen to classical music on my drive to/from the shelter, so at least five days out of every seven.

Have you ever wanted your significant other to get rid of a friend? I don't think so.

Is the person you last texted single? Yeah.

Have you ever seen the last person you kissed without their shirt on? Yeah.

Is the last person you kissed mad at you? I don't know how they feel about me these days.

Has the person you like ever made you upset? N/a.

Scenario: If you were getting unwanted attention by some creeper, would the person you like stand up for you? N/a.

Does the person you like, know that you like them? N/a.

When angry, do you get loud or quiet? It just depends.

Have you ever been in a secret relationship? No.

Have you ever danced in front of your mirror naked? Yeah.

Are your grandparents still alive? No.

Ever been in a car accident? No.

If you got married to the last person you kissed would you be happy? Ugh.

Do you like any of Justin Bieber’s songs? I've never knowingly listened to a Justin Bieber song.

Do you believe saving your virginity for marriage or no? I don't believe or disbelieve, but I do think I will wait a lot longer before being intimate in future relationships.

When you were a kid, did you ever like Barney? Yeah.

When was the last time you kissed someone? Years ago.

What’s the capital of wherever you live? Denver.

Did you have any beer this past week? No.

Have you ever had champagne? Did you like it? I think so.

Do you like to cuddle? Yesss.

Do you think you’ve changed over the past year? I definitely have.

GLUTEN FREE BREAD THOUGHTS

hello fellow non gluten eaters! prompted by @ghostcrows 's complaints about how bad GF bread is, here are some of my thoughts on some of the ones I've tried (in a somewhat chronological order)! This is mostly stuff in Australia - others, especially in other countries, please feel free to contribute!

Brand: Country Life Availability: Used to be everywhere but has since disappeared - the recipes may now be under a different TipTop brand? Thoughts: This stuff was pretty garbage. It tasted like sweetened cardboard, and had a texture similar to that packing foam you'll see in hard cases for electronics. The loaf was also physically rather smaller than normal bread - sliced cheese/meats would always stick out the sides. I ate the one called something like "harvest seeds and grains" for quite a while because it was the best I could find - but it wasn't great. They dealt particularly badly with liquid - especially the plain white one! I discovered this on a school camp, where the beetroot on my burger caused the bread to rapidly disintegrate.

Brand: Helga's Availability: Pretty much always there Thoughts: They taste of SOMETHING, and it isn't cardboard or plastic; and they seem like they'd be very nutritious. Unfortunately, I've always found them to be VERY dense - and I'm not particularly a fan of the taste. I'll admit I haven't had their bread in a while - I still have it occasionally, but only if other brands are out of stock - and their recipes may have improved since then. I preferred Mixed Grain for sandwiches, but it's less good for toast.

Brand: Abbott's Bakery Availability: Most places, but not always in stock Thoughts: When I first tried their offerings around 2016, I went "OH MY GOOD ITS PROPERLY SQUISHY, how does this not have gluten?". They're also probably the closest in size/shape to your average glutenous bread that I've seen. My usual bread since then has been their Soy and Linseed, which I reckon is best texturally. Rustic White is a little too soft for me; but Farmhouse Wholemeal is better. Mixed Seeds is weird texturally - the centre of each slice is fine; but it's like the edges have gone ever-so-slightly stale or something - the Face of the Slice is a definite and identifiable texture; which makes for decent toast but WIERD sandwiches. Recently they've come out with a sourdough option as well; which TASTES LIKE SOURDOUGH if you're a toast person, but I still prefer soylin for sandwiches.

Brand: Deeks Health Foods Availability: Never seen it in-store, but a bunch of cafes/caterers etc use it Thoughts: Most of their offerings I've had taste pretty good (if a little sweet), but they're VEEERY crumbly on the texture front - the crust breaks off and then the rest starts to disintegrate. In addition, not all of their products are nut free - I think the only time I've seen "gluten free bread" with almond meal, it was theirs. I'm fairly lax about my nut allergies; because they've never got anywhere near anaphylaxis and it's mostly just peanuts and pine nuts I react to - but a reminder to the rest of y'all to ASK IF THE GF BREAD HAS NUTS! You may also need to prompt them to check for nut meal, not just whole nuts - and/or remind them that you're also asking about almonds; so they don't just scan the list for the word "nut".

Brand: Coles Free From Availability: Coles Thoughts: When I last tried their loaf it was garbage, but that was quite a while ago. However, their GF Ciabatta and Turkish (that you're supposed to warm in the oven for a few minutes) are both excellent - chewy and tasty!

Brand: Schär Availability: Some IGAs, ALDI. Overseas I've seen them at ALDI (aka HOFER), Billa, SPAR, and Conad. Thoughts: Their taste and texture are both excellent. However, they're often the most expensive option here in Aus, and the loaf is physically small (noticeable sliced cheese/meat overhangs). In addition, the ends of the loaf are usually at least 1.5x as thick as the other slices. I've most often seen them here with packaging in German, but also occasionally in Italian. Their "Classic" is a little sweet but definitely the best white bread I've had; their "Vital" is an EXCELLENT dark grainy sourdough sorta thing. I also tried their "Cereale" in Europe, which was good but I haven't seen in Australia; and both sorts of their Ciabatta (which were AMAZING.)

Brand: [Venerdi] Gluten Freedom Availability: Recently turned up in my IGA, quite a few cafes; and I think I've had one of their rolls on a plane out of Sydney? Thoughts: I'm not sure which one of their breads I tried, but I found it waay too sweet (though a good texture). However, their burger buns (I think I'm having their Sweet Potato Sourdough Buns?) are ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AMAZING. They Do taste of sourdough, they're not revoltingly sweet, they don't disintegrate with beetroot juice, and the texture is Perfect. The cafe closest to mum's work makes a bacon and egg roll using them that (as well as being delicious) sent me to Instant Texture Heaven - I like them dangerously much for how close that cafe is to uni!

Brand: Woolworths Free from Gluten Availability: Woolworths Thoughts: It's been a little while since I had any of their offerings, but I found their loaf comparable to Coles or Country Life (i.e. bad); and their rolls/buns/etc were both too sweet and too squishy for me. In their defense, however; the Woolworths GF biscuit range have the best texture I've tried. Their scotch fingers taste a little weird (chickpea flour, methinks), but they're SO much less crumbly that I actually prefer them to the Arnotts GF version (and I even think they're closer to the Arnotts non-GF ones!)

Brand: BFree Availability: Woolies and IGA but not Coles? Thoughts: I've only tried their bread once while visiting someone else - my impression was "not bad but not worth switching to". If I recall correctly, the one I tried had similar taste to Helga's Multigrain but with a squishier texture. I've also tried some of their wraps - they didn't taste that great (very buckwheat heavy? not sure - kinda how I'd imagine stone tastes) and they weren't noticeably more flexible than anything else I've had. I've heard their pita bread is good, though.

There are a few more I've had in cafes or that other people have bought me - but I either don't know the brands or can't remember the brands right now. Hope someone finds this useful!

The Next 365 Days (2022)

This series has been a rollercoaster. And this final installment has been a series of those slanting turns that feel like they will turn into loops but never do. That said I will miss this.

This is no real order. Just my brain processing what I'm watching.

Spoilers. Duh!

Massimo be threatening anybody.

So how long do you stay after the decree is handed down? Until either party can't handle the awkwardness?

Massimo won't bang her because she got shot, but had no problem banging her for hours when she had a heart condition.

Plot, actual plot!

Not shoes on the bed. oh no no no no!

Laura is dedicated to these Fiacchi drawers.

Shower in the same space as the master suite seems sexy, until Aunt Irma comes to visit and you've got a clot coming out.

What's the NDA like for house staff?

Be quiet? Sir they were behind a thin curtin in a metal tube, 20,000 feet in the air, listening to you get a very aggressive blow job from a random flight attendant. Trust and believe sex with your wife is the most normal thing they could hear.

Also there is an employee orgy in this movie.

I love the intimacy of Laura and Olga's friendship.

Once again, every pair of sunglasses is fire.

The music is better.

The Torricelli's are in the business of Drugs, clubs(dance, strip, & both), restaurants, gambling, blackmail, and wine. Diversify.

Labels restaurant bad, proceeds to show delicious looking food, attentive service and nice atmosphere.

No Domenico sexiness? Really no Domenico. Instead we get a bunch more Tommy. Who the fuck even is that? It's bull shit.

We should've seen Laura and Massimo dance together.

We never see them happy and domestic together.

That whispered "My fault". Whew.

Him carrying her to bed. Aww.

Smart houses. Bad idea. When the wifi goes out the house is done for.

Him in them low sitting black track pants go straight the vagina every time.

Mass: Leave.

Laura: Stay.

Me as the stripper:

Should've done a handy at the club. Also the song is good.

Not her happy and smiling in the Nacho fantasy. Uh oh.

Wake up head. The best.

No marmalade for you.

Who is Giuseppe and how is he still alive if he keeps fucking up?

Massimo in the shower. Give me more.

He tossed that band and them glasses down like a toddler.

What man thought having business meeting in strip clubs was cool? He needs to be on a list. That's weirdo behavior.

Someone get Olga a brush. Three movies and not once have they combed her hair.

They really said let's make Laura and her new business partner look exactly alike. I was so confused.

So much Domenico and Olga wedding planning only to see no wedding.

This was very light on the ho antics.

Why is Domenico not the guy at the tennis court. Tommy is a little too fresh with Massimo for me.

Since when did Olga start calling her Lari? 2 whole movies not once all of a sudden she never says Laura. Same for Olo.

Not this heffa shoulder checking my man. He has the right to be upset. He didn't cheat on you and you ran off with another man.

What the fuck is this coked up sex orgy? Are you all not coworkers. What's Monday like? *avoiding eyes because you're sure watching your colleague get his ass are made your dick just a little harder*

Blowhole tits gimp.

Tommy left so quick. He said, "I have a wife and a new born at home. Y'all be easy."

I love Massimo resisting temptation as he has flashbacks to the night at the club with Laura.

I'll hide you with my body. Proceeds to scream and draw attention to self.

Olga is not they type of friend you take everywhere.

I thought the designer was banging Nacho.

He was cute.

Why is Olga getting the fashion expo invitation. Why not the designer and why is she not going? What is Laura's position here?

The designer hates Laura. Why did she sell a portion of the business if she wasn't interested? Was it blackmail? Was she desperate for the money?

I'm genuinely upset that she cheated. On the verge of tears. I need to go touch grass

Thought that was Laura and Mass having make up sex. Very disappointed it was not.

The state of this hotel room. Clean it up.

Marcello! I thought his name was Ignacio hence Nacho. Maybe it's his middle name.

That's not his sister! They were necking.

I thought Domenico was going to show up with a sexy surprise for Olga. At least catch her flirting with other guys and fuck it out of her.

Three indecipherable accents. Polish, Italian, and Spanish.

Dream Nacho be putting it down.

That white dress was so boring.

The fashion show clothes were good.

Weren't they in Lagos for a business meeting?

Shadow of a man. He spent two weeks with her.

Finds out "brother" kidnapped and plotted to kill woman. Not speaking for a week is punishment enough.

Nacho keep him a job. Gardener, now cabbie.

Pacing! The lack of it is irritating.

They made Olga very annoying this movie.

Since when was Laura a motorcycle chick.

Her parents house is nice.

I'm not the only one who thought she was going to get in the fountain at Nachos house, right?

Real Nacho put it down.

This beach scene is giving the boat scene a run for its money.

"I'm not like him, I won't force you to do something". You got him there Nacho. Get your girl.

Did Mass see them fucking at the beach?

Ooh, mad Mass is kinda hot.

How is she mad at him? Not only did he not cheat on you, he also found out you were pregnant and lost the baby. Then finds out you're falling in love with someone else and he killed his twin brother. He is going through a lot. And still not once has she asked him how he's doing.

For a mafia dons wife she loves having him not know where she is. Idk about you but after two kidnappings and two murder attempts I'd want my husband to be able to find me.

That hotel stationery was nice.

Her crying after he leaves is a really good moment.

Where is the heart problem!?!?

Nacho describing how he fell in love with her. I'm crying.

Nacho risking all out war for this broad just to get that heart broke. Suck his dick from the back.

Why can't she have both? Let this woman live!

If you think your friends husband is going to kill her why are you letting her go back to the house?

Nacho is finna drive them off a cliff!

Not him getting out the cab. Oh he messy

I need Nacho to have a love interest outside of Laura and his sister.

Have the mom make pierogi. A callback.

They really cut the brat x daddy kink out after the first one. Which is weird because that’s what draws people to the series. Sure it’s not my thing (Laura get out the fountain, you’re an adult) but I’ll risk the kink occasionally. And sneaking out to go to dinners doesn’t count .

Mom is right, women should be a little selfish in relationships.

Are they about to kiss? OMG OMG OMG! Laura, you selfish bitch! Go back to sleep.

I for sure thought she was about to get kidnapped at lunch with her dad. By the nosy nuns.

Is Laura famous in Poland? Them nuns was staring hard. I know that one was Blanka.

Did Laura tell her parents the whole story or did she leave out both kidnappings? And the murders.

I know that's not how this ends. Where is their final sex scene?

I know the credits not about to roll.

Not with a bang but with an, "Are you back, Baby Girl?".

Massimo and Laura only have sex twice! And one fake out. That's bull shit. I didn't need to see the nameless designer bang fake Nacho.

When does that English translation of the third book come out because, baby, I need these plot holes filled.

I'm going to miss this series so much. Thank the gods for rewatching.

[15.18] dad!seonghwa

⇀ as a person, he's gentle and understanding. but as a dad, he knows when he should put his foot down. but how can he when his child has his eyes and your charm?

⇁ it's fluffy dad!seonghwa y'all

Seonghwa stood in front of the sink in the kitchen, pausing mid scrub to look at the clock mounted on the wall just above the fridge. The clock read 15.18, and he was beginning to get concerned.

"He should be here by now," he muttered to himself.

Convincing him that his ready, little Park Sungchan begged Seonghwa that since he's in the 1st grade now, he's able to walk from his apartment's gate from the carpool with his uncle Yunho and 'cousins' Yujin and Yeeun, up to their apartment by himself. It took a lot of begging, promising, slight crying, and a buttload of pouting from both Sungchan and you to eventually break Seonghwa.

Though right now, he was sure that his son is dead in a ditch somewhere. Neverminding the fact that he was only 3 minutes late.

But the sound of the front door opening broke his thought and the sound of small pitter-patter and shoes being put away broke his thought and a sudden sense of relief washed over him.

As Seonghwa finished up washing the dishes, he called out to his son, "Sungchan, is that you?"

The little boy froze mid-walk across the living room towards his bedroom, "uhh... Yes, daddy! I'm home!" he answered, voice slightly quivering. He instinctively held the bag in his arms closer to his body as he adjusted the straps of his school bag.

From his standpoint, Sungchan could see Seonghwa has his back to him, meaning he wouldn't be able to see what he's doing.

The bag in his arms began to rustle and he immediately panicked. His tiny hands patted the bag gently as he spoke in a hushed tone, "Shh, shh, it's okay! I'll get you out soon!"

"Who are you talking to?"

Seonghwa's voice startled the boy, making him jump slightly which pulled the bag down slightly, revealing a small puppy in his arms.

Both of them stared at one another, Sungchan as he waited for his dad to react, and Seonghwa in shock. The puppy, however, was perfectly content nestling itself in the arms of the little boy, now being able to see the whole world as the bag no longer hid its face.

"S-Sungchan, what is this?" Seonghwa asked, slightly hoping that he was hallucinating.

"Uh... A puppy? Have you never seen one, dad? It's quite common here, especially one that looks like this and-" Sungchan rambled, trying to find a way to change the subject or even distract his dad.

Seonghwa's eyebrows furrowed as he stared his boy down, "Sungchan..." he called out in a reprimanding tone.

Immediately, Sungchan stopped his rambling and whined. "I had to, daddy! I saw him every day in front of my school and I always feed him! Look at him, daddy, he's so cute!" Sungchan whined, hugging the puppy tightly in his arms, looking up at Seonghwa with, ironically, puppy eyes.

Despite his son's attempt to butter him up, Seonghwa was determined to not fall for his son's antics. "How did you even bring him here from school? What did your uncle Yunho had to say?"

The little boy furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Uncle Yunho said "I'll grab the bag, you put the puppy in. This is gonna drive your dad insane,"," he answered without much thought.

At the revelation, Seonghwa felt his left eye twitch, realizing that Yunho actually had a play in the stunt his son pulled. He's sure that he's going to have to have a talk with him after he dealt with the issue at hand.

He has his hands on his waist, ready to firmly tell Sungchan that there is no way that they're going to keep a stray dog for a bunch of reasons. Those reasons might mainly gravitate towards the 'cleanliness' issue, but it was still an important point that he had to remind his son.

But when he saw the way Sungchan looked at the puppy and how the puppy seemed to connect with the boy in such an affectionate way that is so heartwarming considering how short they've known one another, he couldn't find it in his heart to reprimand or separate them.

Seonghwa took his phone out of his sweats and took a picture to send to you. He explained the situation so that you wouldn't be surprised when you came back home from your trip back home to your family. There was even an additional caption saying, 'the things I do for the people I love. You're going to have to help take care of this because I'm blaming you. This blackmailing-using-his-look gene screams you.'

The man of the house took a deep breath before he crouched down in front of his son, "Do you really want to keep him?"

Hearing the question made Sungchan perked up. He looked straight into Seonghwa's eyes, nodding eagerly.

"Do you know the responsibilities of having a puppy?" Seonghwa questioned.

"Yes! I have to take care of his pee, poo, and food," Sungchan listed out, trying to remember the things his uncle Yunho told him back in the car.

Seonghwa nodded in agreement, relieved that his son is actually slightly aware of the responsibilities that entailed keeping an animal in the house. "Don't forget walks, teaching him obedience and tricks too, we can't have a dog who's not gonna listen, right?" Seonghwa smiled at Sungchan in defeat, "I already have your uncle Wooyoung for that," he added, muttering under his breath. "What's that daddy?" Sungchan asked, tilting his head as he heard his uncle Wooyoung being called.

With an awkward smile, Seonghwa decided to brush it off, acting as if he didn't even say anything.

As Sungchan took the puppy out of the bag, Seonghwa automatically inhaled sharply. The only thought in his head was how the dirty puppy is about to touch his freshly vacuumed floors.

Immediately, Seonghwa reached forward to grab the puppy in his arms, standing up as his son whined for his dad to give him back the puppy.

"He's dirty, sweetie. Why don't we go and get him cleaned up? We can also pick up some things for him like his bed, harness, some food," he persuaded the boy.

Sungchan's eyes widened and it sparkled with giddiness, much like Seonghwa's eyes. He immediately ran to his room to put his backpack down.

When his son was out of sight, Seonghwa let out a long sigh. He lifted the puppy to his eye line, "You're one lucky little creature, you know?" he grumbled. Though a smile appeared soon on his face as he gazed at the annoyingly adorable little puppy.

Soon enough, Sungchan zoomed out of his room and ran past Seonghwa, taking his arm in his far smaller ones as he began dragging him out, "Come on, daddy! Let's go!" Sungchan urged, still trying to use what little strength he had to 'drag' his dad.

Seonghwa could only chuckle at his son's eagerness.

For some reason, he felt like he wasn't going to regret letting his son keep the puppy.
