ANSWER PLS

IM CUMMING TO YOUR HOUSE

haha get it

ANYWAY BE READY 😈

delivered 10 mins ago

You were sprawled out in bed, your limbs practically dislocated from your body because of how spread out they were. You heard the notification from your phone, however you were too tired to answer it. Besides, your alarm didn't ring so you had the great idea of spending the day in bed all day. So, you did the thing any normal person would do, falling asleep again. It was just going to be a small nap anyway.

Meanwhile, a very familiar Ed Sheeran wannabe was at your door. He fumbled with the extra keys for your apartment that you gave him (which he totally didn't beg for). He finally opened the door, walking into the house. He immediately ran to the bedroom to see you, only to see you sound asleep. Feeling slightly bad, he slowly closed the door to your bedroom and went to your kitchen. As the good boyfriend he is, he decides to make breakfast for you! How sweet! (You would've slapped him hard if you woke up now).

He looked through your cabinets, mumbling to himself as there was nothing that was healthy, but worked with what he had anyway.

After finishing making breakfast, he wiped a non existent sweat off his brow, grinning to himself. He put all the food in a tray and began walking to your room. Placing the tray on your bedside table, he thought of a way to wake you up. He didn't feel like using that many methods, until thinking of a devious idea. He would probably come out looking like purple guy from fnaf from the amount of bruises he'll get from you, but it was the quickest way he could think of on the top of his head.

Searching the Samsung homecoming alarm sound on YouTube, he blasted it on full volume as he watched you wake up with a cold sweat, your eyes filling with dread.

"What the actual fu- CHILDE?!" You yelled, instinctively kicking him in the arm. He held onto it in pain, wincing at the amount of force you put in to kick him.

"For someone who doesn't like to work out, your hits hurt like hell," he sweat dropped, looking at you in some kind of awe, yet also in fear.

"You scared me!" "I did not!" "Yes you did!" You both accused each other.

"I sent you a message like twenty minutes ago that I was gonna come, didn't you see it?!" He argued back as you took your phone and frantically went through your messages as your mouth formed an 'o'.

"Well, I was sleeping!" You retorted back.

"WHO THE ACTUAL FUCK SLEEPS TILL 10 AM?!"

"I DO DUMBASS!" You held onto your throat as you started coughing from yelling too loud. You cut the conversation short and went to the bathroom, coughing your life out on the sink. Once it downed down, you brushed your teeth and went back into your bedroom, your voice too hoarse to continue arguing, luckily he understood.

You found the tray of breakfast that he made for you and placed it on your lap, slightly grateful for his actions. You held your spoon and ate agonizingly slowly just to annoy him, but he took your spoon away, and started feeding you himself. You couldn't really bring yourself to argue so you just accepted the not asked for princess treatment.

"So," you said while eating, "why did you come all the way here?"

"Can't a boyfriend visit his wonderful girlfriend without any reason?" He exaggerated. You didn't look amused in the slightest. He cleared his throat as he prepared to say his words.

"Wanna go to the gy-" "No." You finished his sentence.

"Why not??"

"Because I don't want to," you replied back.

He thought for a moment as an imaginary light bulb lit up in his head.

"I'll buy you (favorite food) today!"

As much as you don't want to go to the gym, you couldn't really turn down the offer, so you nodded. His face lit up to a smile as you got up from your bed and looked for an outfit to change in. He went out of the room to let you change, even if he has seen you naked many times before. He picked up his duffel bag that he left by the front door and walked to your bedroom door and placed it there. He waited for a few minutes before you walked out of your room. You placed a few things of yours in his bag like extra clothes, deodorant, a yoga mat and a towel.

You went passed him and got to fill your water bottle with ice and water before putting it in your bag. Taking your phone, you were ready to go.

Finally reaching your destination, you both walked out of the parking area and into the gymnasium. You went to your won separate activities as he did and laid out your yoga mat. You got on Pinterest and went to your boards to look at the few stretches and exercises you saved. You put on your headphones and go on your Spotify playlist.

It was a weird playlist, essentially since it was a shared one. On one hand, you have Childe's, which were just phonk songs, some that you knew and others that you never heard of. While on the other hand, was (favorite musice genre), which was yours. You could choose another playlist, but you didn't want to go through the extra hassle.

You started to do your stretches, paying attention to every step of everything. Luckily, most of them were simple enough for you to finish. Childe's phonk songs kind of ruined the vibe, but your songs made up for it. Most of the exercises were small, so you could finish your whole board in around an hour and thirty minutes. You took a glance at Childe, only to deadpan as you saw that he completed majority of the machines. You figured that you could do some light running on the treadmill and weight lifting, since you were done with the exercises from Pinterest.

As you went on the treadmill, you heard Childe whistle from behind you.

"Nice ass darling," he said light heartedly. You couldn't really help but laugh a little before saying thanks.

You continued working out, only lifting a few small weights. Drinking a bit of water, you decided that you were done for the day. You looked at Childe to see him doing some stretches and walked up to him.

"What are you doing?" You asked. You thought he was done with everything.

"After workout exercises," he said with a stupid grin on his face. You wanted him to wipe it right off his stupid face, but you suppose you could wait until you were both in bed.

He got off from doing sit ups and got in a position to do push ups as he smiled at you, obviously going to ask for a favour. You rolled your eyes at how obvious he was, but gave in anyway.

"What do you need help with?" You asked, taking your phone in hand.

"Count my push ups for me, pretty please darling?"

You hummed. Taking your phone and water bottle in hand, you went over to his back and sat on it. You slightly grinded on his muscular back, giggling to yourself as he looked at you.

You suddenly got an idea in mind. You went to your camera app and started to record.

"Can I ask a favour?" You looked at him as he nodded, counting the pushups in your head for now.

"Can you say my name between every pushup you do? I want to make a video." He raised his eyebrow at your words but still did it for you. You counted the push ups still, smirking to yourself as you created the perfect video for yourself.

After you counted till fifty, he stopped doing his pushups. He took the towel that you gave him and wiped the sweat off of his body.

"What was the video for princess?" He asked as you looked at him like you were waiting for him to.

"Free whimpering audio," you said simply. His eyes slightly widened at how blunt you were, but he quickly returned to his original self.

"You could've just asked darling! We can make one in-" you cut him off by putting your water bottle in his mouth. He drank a little from it before taking it away from his mouth and bringing you in for a hug. He kissed your cheek but you swatted him away because he was sweaty (even though you were too). Some people cringed in disgust at the two of you while others cooed at your 'young love'.

Idk how to do dialogue

[odiesbun]

...♡Your birthday with them♡...

There may be errors in the text, as my native language is not English. Thank you for your likes and your request!

genre: fluff

warning: mention of food, gifts, love. Jake is a little rude with members? Sunghoon the cook.

w.c: 1.9k

a/n: today(20.02.XX) is my birthday, so why not if I do that part? Especially since I promised that I would post this part.

♡Heeseung♡

•In fact, I don't think Heeseung would have been someone who liked to throw grand celebrations... He preferred to spend the evening alone with you rather than in the company of people whose conversation could be heard as if a swarm of bees had settled over you.

It is for this reason that you are now sitting with Heeseung in a rooftop restaurant in the city, admiring the view, your boyfriend's handsome face, and enjoying your food.

- „By the way, I was thinking that we could continue the feast tomorrow... But I think we should rest somewhere outdoors...“ - Heeseung gives out thoughtfully, putting the cutlery aside.

- „But you've already given me so many gifts today!“ - You exclaim, indignant at Heeseung's sudden idea. Lee laughs, squinting.

- „I know, I know. But it'll be like compensation for forgetting about our date the other day, okay?“ - He covers your hand affectionately with his, smiling again.

(whoever understood the reference to my part did a great job and will personally get a kiss on the forehead from the author ;))) ).

•By the way, about the gift... Heeseung won't really bother with it. You know what he's going to give you this time? A marriage proposal.

- „Honey, I'm not a romantic for this kind of action, and I sometimes still don't understand why you fell in love with me, but...“ - Heeseung's eyes sparkle and he kneels down on one knee in front of you, wrapping his free hand affectionately around your arm and holding out the engagement ring box to you with the other.

- „But will you marry me?“

♡Jay♡

•This man has the most beautiful and romantic gifts, you won't argue with me. Besides the beautiful and expensive jewelry he's 100 percent sure to give you, his second gift will be less beautiful, but 99.9 percent likely to be useful to you in your home. Do you have a power outage at home? Jay's battery-powered lamp is the answer. Your vacuum cleaner stopped working? Jay's robot vacuum cleaner is on its way!

- „Wow, is that a lighted mirror?“ - You exclaim in surprise as you watch your boyfriend haul that thing into the corridor.

- „Yeah, that's it“ - Jay puffs, almost folding in half from the weight of the box, but when you ask him if he needs help, he denies it.

- „How did you know I wanted a lighted mirror?“ - You smirk, stopping in the doorway and crossing your arms over your chest.

- „You've been turning on more bulbs in our chandelier and constantly squinting at the lack of light. All the more reason, I thought a full-length mirror might come in handy for other things~“

•I honestly think that if Jay throws any kind of holiday party for you at your house, all the dishes on the table will be his own making.

- „Wow, you made all this yourself?“ - You raise your eyebrows, surprised at the amount of food on the tables and convinced that you'll be finishing this for at least another week or so.

- „Yeah. I figured buying cooked food at the supermarket would be pretty expensive, caloric, and there's a chance you'd either get poisoned or the food wouldn't taste good.“ - Jay smirks, hugging you affectionately by the shoulders from behind and kissing your neck.

♡Jake♡

•Jake is a big golden retriever puppy, so he will literally wake you up at five in the morning with cheerful shouts of congratulations, gifts and more.

- „Happy birthday, my prettiest, kindest and sweetest princess!“ - Jake jumps happily around the bed as you reluctantly open your eyes, your boyfriend standing in front of you and Layla, who instantly takes to licking you.

- „What time is it?“ - You ask sleepily, reaching out to the phone screen. The screen shows the time: 5:11 a.m. You fall back onto the bed with an exasperated groan. - „It's too early for me!“

- „Rise and shine, beautiful! I have grand plans for you! I have a whole evening planned just for you!“ - Laughs Sim, pulling the blanket off you with Layla.

•He'll probably only invite you and his family to the party, since he thinks it's the kind of party you'd want to spend with the people you grew up with. But at some point, things go awry and six hungry guys, led by Jungwon as leader, gifts and joyful squeals, rush into your apartment.

- „I really didn't want them to come! Honestly, I swear!“ - Jake rambles incoherently, flailing his arms and pointing at the awkwardly standing band memebers in the hallway.

- „I don't mind them being here. I'm glad to see them.“ - You smile, accepting the happy congratulations with gifts and, most importantly, the cake they all made together.

- „Thank you so much. Wow, you made the cake for me?“ - You nod appreciatively, inviting the new guests to come into the kitchen.

- „Yes. But I hope we don't all get poisoned by this cake, because Ni-ki and Sunghoon baked the cakes.“ - Jay looks incredulously at the younger ones, nodding to your boyfriend in your direction.

- „If any of us here get poisoned, you'll be eating this cake yourselves😊“ - Jake giggles, but his words don't sound as cheerful as he does. 💀

♡Sunghoon♡

•We all know Sunghoon's pranks very well, so I wouldn't be surprised if he pranks you again. And by banter, I mean he'll pretend to forget your birthday at least until the middle of the day.

You giggle as you meet Sunghoon in the kitchen. He hides something behind his back, nervously taking a few steps back and looking around, but you don't notice it, too engrossed in your joy and anticipation.

- „Do you know what day it is?“ - You giggle merrily, sitting down in your chair and dangling your feet.

- „Uh... Monday?“ - Sunghoon replies thoughtfully, watching your face change. - „What!? Did I forget something again? Why aren't you answering me? Baby!“

But as soon as your mood is ruined and you don't want to go out, wrapped in blankets and your nose tucked into your pillow, Sunghoon brings a cake of his own making into your bedroom and presents just for you.

- „What is this?“ - Your eyes widen in surprise, you look awkwardly at Sunghoon, a smile spreading across your lips. Sunghoon places the sweet on the bedside table, then holds out to you several colorful wrapped boxes of different sizes, some with an indication of who the gift is from.

- „Open it. Here are some gifts from band members, they asked me to give them to you since they couldn't make it to your birthday party this year due to our busy training schedules.“

•In fact, Sunghoon is going to give you the grandest birthday party of all. He will invite not only your immediate family, distant relatives or friends, but also close people from his side. You may not even know these people, wondering who they even are, but they will be holding out your gift with a happy smile on their face.

- „What is your mother doing here? She's gone on vacation, isn't she?“ - You raise your eyebrows in surprise, turning to Sunghoon. He takes on a playful look, smiling.

- „Yes, you're right, she really did. But once I casually told her about your birthday, she insisted on coming.“ - He shrugged, making you smile.

- „I don't know a lot of people here because they're your relatives... But thank you for giving me such a massive celebration.“ - At your words, Sunghoon gives you an affectionate kiss on the cheek.

- „Anything for you, baby.“

♡Sunoo♡

•Sunoo is the kind of person who prepares for your day in advance, talking to you about all the plans he has in mind and asking you about your gift wishes. And if you refuse a gift, arguing that it's too expensive for the two of you, Sunoo will still get you something. But he'll have to think hard and research all your interests, combining it all into one gift.

- „Wow, what's that?“ - You smile happily, accepting the gift from Sunoo. You retreat to a cozier place, for there were too many guests in the hall and kitchen as Sunoo had organized a grand celebration for you.

- „A gift from me. I'm not sure if you'll like it because you didn't say exactly what kind of gift you want, but open it soon!“ - Sunoo next to you looks like a sly, happy fox, bouncing merrily beside you. You open the gift, looking at the expensive necklace and earrings you saw in the store last week and said they were beautiful, go too expensive.

- „SUNOO, BUT THEY COST LIKE YOUR ENTIRE PAYCHECK!“

- „I know~ But your birthday only happens once a year!“ - He exclaimed, chuckling.

•Sunoo has always been a sweet and sweet boy to you, but on this day he was OWNLY sweet to you because you were his princess that day. He was ready to carry you in his arms, you know? So don't be surprised if he suddenly walks up to you and picks you up in his arms.

- „Wah, Sunoo! Let go, high!“ - You squeal terrified, grabbing onto the limbs of your giggling boyfriend. From the outside, it was like the scene from The Lion King when the monkey was holding the little lion cub.

- „I can't! You're so cute today!“ - Sunoo laughs, finally putting you down and hugging you.

♡Jungwon♡

•The most frustrating thing about this situation is that Jungwon couldn't make it to your birthday party due to a new world tour. Even so, he was able to send you a gift to the other side of the world and call you even though it was deep night on his side.

- „Cutie, hi, happy birthday!“ - Jungwon exclaimed cheerfully, waving to you on camera. The only thing that saved you in this situation was a video call. - „Did you get my present? Did you like it?“

You nod cheerfully, showing the camera the weighty box of sweets, souvenirs and gifts.

- „Yes! The delivery guy just delivered the order, I just opened it to me. Literally a minute before you called.“ - You nod happily, smiling. Jungwon's heart melts at this sight, for he wanted very much to sit next to you right now, but his career has decided otherwise.

- „I'll try to bring you something else beautiful and interesting, something you love as soon as I get home.“ - He puts his thumb up, just like «👍🏻», smiling and sending you an air kiss across the screen. - „Love you, doll.“

•Jungwon isn't too fond of grand celebrations, for that noise specifically can bore him. So don't even expect him to let you invite more than ten people to your birthday party, including you. And if you do break this rule, he will congratulate you and quickly run off somewhere far away.

- „Hey, Yang Jungwon! Let's go, your girlfriend's already opening a present!“ - Jay and the entire cast of Enhypen, who have also been invited, crowd around the door to your bedroom, behind which Jungwon was sitting, wrapped in blankets.

- „I don't want to!“ - Pulls on Yang's vowels, sighing and rolling his eyes. - „You guys are buzzing like bees in there, I'm not going anywhere!“

♡Ni-ki♡

•...Ni-ki will either sleep half the day before congratulating you, or he'll get up at four in the morning and start waking you up screaming „WAKE UP, it's YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY, WE MUST RUN TO FIVE TIMES TODAY!“

- „What the hell are you doing?“ - You look at your boyfriend unhappily as he pulls the blanket off you, causing the cold to quickly envelope you.

- „We have to stop by the boys' dorm today, then hit the mall, the restaurant and then I have plans to take a walk in the park with you! So if you fall asleep now, you'll miss all the fun! Well, or I'll throw cold water on you.“ - Ni-ki exclaims enthusiastically as he watches you pick yourself up off the bed, making him giggle.

•You've already seen the outcome of the first situation, here's the second, as Ni-ki slept through most of the day.

You were already spinning around the mirror with your makeup and pretty clothes on, anticipating your celebration. Ni-ki was sprawled out on the bed in a star pose, but when your lipstick accidentally rolled under the dressing table with a distinctive sound, he opened his eyes.

- „Ah, you're already awake...“ - He yawned, then turned on his side and stared at you with a smirk.

- „Why are you looking at me like that?“ - You looked confused, smiling awkwardly.

- „I wanted to tell you something...“ - He sighs, coming closer and hugging you. - „Happy birthday, my flower.“

So overall full success on 11 of the goals, happy partial on 5, annoyed partial on 2, abandoned 4 and failed my last one and feel bad about it.

But overall pretty good success!

5 Stages of Grief

These words were mostly inspired by my little sister complaining how I never stop talking about the stages of grief. So, without further ado…

The 5 Stages of Grief

Stage 1. Casseroles and Door Dash Gift Cards

The way to the heart is through the stomach… or something like that. So, it makes sense that a full stomach heals a broken heart. So you buy paper plates and plastic forks and you eat yourself sick of fast food in foil containers that’s your neighbor bought you. And you’re grateful because there are no dishes and you’re still just alive enough to need to eat. But, at the end, your stomach is full but your heart is laid out next to you, still in too many pieces to count. Your stomach is full and you’re still feeling empty. And now you owe your neighbor a thank you card. Oh, and he’s still dead. Right?

Stage 2. Your Little Sister Wants to Fist Fight You in a Parking Lot

You can’t say anything funny and you can’t say anything sad. You can’t be helpful, you can’t be bitter. Because somebody gave the 15 year old a knife and she aims to draw blood. Because you want to plaster everybody in Band-Aids and ACE bandages and you’ve got boxes of tissues and if you slow down for a minute or a second or a breath and a blink, you’ll start crying and you’ll never stop. But she, previously all linen and light, now of steel and stone, she wants to yell. She wants to beat the earth to dust and she is mad and she doesn’t know why and she can’t stop even if she tried— which she totally isn’t trying. So you don’t say anything funny or sad, you stand there vibrating at low frequency while she throws her rocks and stomps her feet because her chest aches just like yours.

Stage 3. You Learn How to Fold a Fitted Sheet

Your mom cries and she wants the towels in the hall closet. But, the hall closet has light bulbs and old curtains and an air mattress with a leak. The towels don’t fit because they haven’t had a place there in 9 years. So, you pull it all out. And you throw away the clutter. You work pillow cases into perfect little squares, you find a bag of saltines. And you learn how to fold fitted sheets. It takes 45 minutes and you think this might be what actually breaks your spirit until you’re looking down at the neat rectangle in your hands and never before has a bed sheet made your heart squeeze like that.

Stage 4. Queue the Crisis of Faith

You and God— it’s never been the best. It’s not that he doesn’t try, you always think, you’re just a young woman of show and not just tell. You think he’s still up there but, it’s safe to say the two of you don’t talk very often. Maybe you should. He always did. But, you do then. For two weeks, you beg and you plead and you scream into the front windshield of your car. You call in a favor from you grandma (another reason you’re not on great terms because what the fuck was that). You talk to him in line at the grocery store, while you lay in bed with your daughter. You tell him that you need this one, you need this win. You promise not to need anything ever again. You read the Bible. He dies anyways, still singing holy praise. What the fuck is that about?

Stage 5. It Ends the Same Anyways

You know he’s dead. You go to sleep and he is dead. He’s still dead when you wake up. You play the last two weeks over and over again. He dies again and again. It is inevitable, it’s already spoken into the air. Air he doesn’t breathe because he is dead. You look for smiles he’ll never throw your way again. You listen for sounds you’ll never hear again. You wait with fingers knotted in fear you’ll never feel again, because he is at peace. He rests and you breathe, in and out with lungs that feel broken. He is woven into the wood grain and the popcorn ceilings and the chipped paint now. It ends this way every night, it starts this way every morning. He is dead, maybe one day, that will stop being a surprise. Not today, though. Not tonight. But, soon. He would never let you hurt forever.

[go-go-devil]

18 and 19 for the OC ask game. I really liked seeing the contrast of personalities when all your OC's answered in the last ask, so I wanted to ask for all of them if it's ok ^^

18. What is your greatest victory?

Albedo: "We have earned many platinum victories in our centuries, both before and after reaching sagehood, yet none can come close to the monumental feat of creating our Moon, and all of the moon beings within it. No sculptures can compare to the pulchritudinous magnitude of moving, thinking organisms; all crafted with the gentle touch of our gloves. This alone proves that we are two halves of a God on the cusp of ascension!"

Umbra: "What other sages can say that they have created life itself? Not one being, that's what! Even if our protege has been... confused in his pursuits, we worry not. Our creations are perfect in every way. They'll always come around in the end."

Leiurus: "I've spent my whole life searching for great victories of any kind. Yet today, in the Tomb...

"My body and will had been beaten to a pulp down there. The skeletons of giants pursuing me endlessly, thwacking me around like a worn rag doll! I'd escaped the dreadful dead in this deep watery cavern, filled with the weakling guards of skeletal babes and poor Pinwheel's wretched copies. Nothing I couldn't easily dispatch!

"As I trudged up the cold stone path, kicking every last bone out of my way… I saw it before my very eyes. Gravelord Nito’s chambers. I should have ran back to the bonfire. Should’ve refilled my dwindling estus and thought of a strategy for this one, but I didn’t. I plunged straight in.

"The Lord of the Dead was slow, but ruthless. His skeletons sliced me good, and those terrible black magic waves his ancient body emitted filled me with relentless thoughts of ending it all right then and there. It’s funny, now that I give it some thought. I’d been dancing with death for a good chunk of my mortal life; sometimes giving, sometimes begging for it meself. But when staring down Nito’s dozens of eyeless sockets, I felt in that moment a great desire for life I hadn’t felt for a long time!

"There was no use in hollowing for me! I needed to keep at it to save the land of this undead curse! To help a friend find his sun! To see my terrible brother once again! To prove I’m not wasting this life I’ve got, for m'late Aunt Tabby’s sake… That’s right, I was the reaper of Death himself! I killed him with me own scythe and strength! You hear that, Lords?! The rest of you cowardly lot are no match for me! Ehehehehahahahahahahahaha!"

Hashbrown Supreme: "I was at a record convention once. I only had $10 on me, but I really wanted to buy In The Land of Grey and Pink, which the seller wanted $15 for. I asked her politely if she'd pay 10 for the record, and she said yes, so I got the record I wanted! It was an amazing moment in my life, lemme tell ya."

19. What was your biggest mistake?

Hashbrown Supreme: "Oh man... I still hate thinking about this one.....

"When I was lodging with some nice folks one time, one of them spilled some water on their laundry and got their boxer shorts all wet. This groovy Dark Side of the Moon styled boxers, which they said was their favorite pair! So later I was left alone and came up with an idea to help them out. There was a lamp in their office, and lamp's light bulbs are hot. So I thought if I put the shorts on top of the lamp, it'll warm 'em up before they got back so they could wear them again real soon!

"What actually happened was that the boxers caught on fire after a few minutes. I didn't know what to do so I threw it outside and then some garbage bags caught on fire. It was a mess. Man, I didn't have the courage to confess what I did, I just feigned ignorance when they thought the clothes went missing. Such a terrible thing to do to such a beautiful pair of boxers! How could I ever forgive myself?

"That one just beats out the second biggest mistake of my life, that being causing a time paradox, but thankfully that one got fixed so it's a-okay!"

Leiurus: "My biggest mistake will always be thinkin' I was ever cut out to be a good sorcerer. Aunt Tabby, my true mum, she really did believe my halfway mediocre abilities in magic could get me into the Vinheim Dragon School. I doubt they would've even accepted her despite her skills. I can hardly recall how she even scrounged up the gold to get me in, or especially how I was able to impress them during my entry test, but I shouldn't have left her for that awful school. Their sorcery was far out of my league, and she needed me more than they did. I could've been there when she hollowed, maybe I could've... maybe...

"Why you askin' me this, eh? What's your problem?! Quit making me spill me soul out before I cut ya to ribbons, you honey-nosed wretch!"

Umbra: "Our biggest mistake? Why, there are none."

Albedo: "We do not make mistakes."

Best Before

We just came from our latest Covid shots and it started me thinking. (uh-oh) Way back when while I was still a lad in school, they gave all of us a polio shot, with a follow up booster the next year. That was it. We were set for life. Remember that this was a time when your phone was attached to the wall and to change channels on your TV someone had to physically walk over to the set and turn the dial.. Fast forward to now when there have been so many technological advances and you have to wonder why there isn't a one shot solution to Covid, or even the regular flu for that matter where you still have to go every year for your next immunization.

(Please note that I am not espousing any conspiracy theories around the subject just asking a question.)

You would think that things would, could and should last longer in today's world.

Example: How come milk lasts forever in a cow but once it is removed from them and you get it home it only lasts 2 weeks tops? Are the cows somehow involved in this (If you haven't read my July 2018 blog Conspiracy Theory or need a reminder go back and look at it. Things fall into place) to keep their jobs? They don't get paid but free room and board do have a value that hopefully outweighs a farmer's cold hands, and it is better than the alternative which is being moved to a cattle ranch.

Everything has a best before date on it now, and I wonder how artificial and arbitrary these are. All you have to do is watch a TV show like The Walking Dead and you see the characters eating everything they find in a can regardless of how old it is. It seems safe to me unless this was the cause of the dead walking in the first place. Something to think about.

Technology is not free from this curse either. Cell phones and computers/laptops all start to get 'tired' and need to be replaced. They say that a light bulb was invented that would last forever but apparently the inventor was buried alive with, you guessed it, one of his lit up bulbs so he could watch himself decay while the light bulb company made a lot of money.

Does this mean I want everything to last forever? Yes and no. If it is something I like and need yes. If is something I don't care about, no. There are some things that should not last forever. Imagine if an orgasm lasted forever? (please move small children away from the screen now). First of all no male would get anything done after he hit puberty and 'experimented' for the first time. He would be unproductive (yet happy) for the rest of his life. From what I understand about women this would not be an issue for some and for others (I will stop here before I get into any trouble) The upside it would be hilarious watching these orgasmic people trying to walk steadily down the street, buy groceries, or do anything else that is part of a daily routine. Picture this and try not to smile.

So what is my final solution? Disease cures yes, food, just a little longer (like a year) and everything else, well life has to have some intrigue and challenges.

I know for some of you it would be great if my blogs continued on forever. We shall see.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Is too much of a good thing too much of a good thing?

[mcrmadness]

Gosh I feel like a weird cartoon or sketch comedy character right now. My luck is often very... selective, but today? Today apparently my luck really favours me.

One: I have decided to dye my hair this week but I realized: I just ran out of rubber gloves, and I can't go to a store to fetch new ones because my car is at a car repair place rn. So I decided to check my kitchen cupboards just in case and lo and behold - I did find EXACTLY three rubber gloves from there, of which 2 are clean enough so that I can actually use them when dyeing my hair! So I can dye my hair tonight after all!

Two: I have to do three different voluntary courses at school, they all are online courses and chose an art course as one of them. I contacted the teacher and I can do just one exercise of them and I can get the full course marked done with 10-15 photos and a couple of drawings, and THAT is going to be an easy peacy! The only difficult part will be: choosing which photos to use because I have a shitton of photos!

Third: Earlier this month, my car did not pass the annual checkup. Something something brakes etc. The man who replaced stuff about the brakes also found another thing that's broken: in the power steering. Spare parts can cost over 300 Euros and he was not able to find them anywhere. I'm already a poor student struggling to pay even this bill, let alone this power steering part. Turns out the other person who originally sold this car to me 12 years ago - HE HAS THOSE PARTS TOO. He might have a new one as well, and we can buy it from him, and I sure hope it's not as expensive as buying this spare part from a car repair shop.

But the fact this man was able to locate this issue is insane to me. I have had this car for 12 years and about half of that time, I have been saying there is something wrong with the steering. It makes weird rumbling noise sometimes, and it sometimes feels like the car is possessed. When standing with the motor running, the wheel sometimes starts turning itself, and occasionally it has also felt like that on the road. Thank goodness it has NEVER felt off on the road when going high speed because that shit would be extremely dangerous and scary. But still, for years I have been saying that this rumbling noise from the power steering does NOT sound right. Years ago, the power steering has also turned itself off out of blue. Now, my car is French so many things about it is electric (tho it's a normal car, not an electric one), including the power steering. So I always brushed it aside as nothing big after it came back because this car always has something wrong with the electronics. I have the replace the headlight bulbs regularly because it keeps breaking them so often, when I still drove more every month, I had to replace the bulbs maybe 1-2 times a year. There's probably not a single bulb I haven't changed to this car (apart from maybe the interior light).

So even tho it sucks that this repair will cost more than what it originally should have cost, I'm still so happy that finally someone was able to find the reason for why the power steering is what it is. Mind you, I have even used it at car repair shops and asked wtf is this noise my car does, and I got the car back without them really finding anything meanwhile talking to me as if I was crazy and hearing things. So I'm so happy that this gets fixed soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing whether I will feel a difference in the steering once the power steering is replaced with one that is not broken! Also very much looking forward to seeing how the brakes feel because for a few years now, I have been saying the brakes feel weird too but the annual checkups never had anything to say about them until now, so I never did anything about those. Also because car repairing is expensive AF and I have exective dysfunction, so I haven't even done any annual repairs which. Is not good either. But I've only got stuff fixed when something has broken down or the annual checkup was a fail due to some part needing fixing or replacing.

I did not mean to ramble so much about my car but here we are. Anyway, it feels good when stuff sometimes goes well for once. Better knock on wood cos I am still that superstitious.

Casino City Press Business Profile, Casino Network

Mike Thorne never dreamed of a career in the casino and gaming industries, but he's here now, nearly 27 years into the casino network.

"It's hard to believe. It certainly is," Son said with a smile when asked about his nearly three decades as a leading distributor of refurbished slot machines, parts and glass. "It's been a tough journey but we're still strong."

The idea of starting a company fell into his lap back in early 1996. At the time, Son was living in Minneapolis and owned a landscaping company. His neighbors had to buy many used slot machines in Reno, Nevada and bring them back to the Midwest. Since Son had three relatively new trucks that could pull the trailer, they asked him if he could do it.

Son remembered, "I jumped at the opportunity because it was an opportunity to make a couple's fortune just by driving for 25 hours."

When Son returned, there was just a space in the garage to store most of the machines, and eventually a neighbor asked Son if he was going to take a picture and sell it, and just then a light bulb stuck in Son's head.

"I've always been a great networker with entrepreneurship and I know how to talk to people," Son said. "After that, I met a guy who was the biggest slot seller in North America and started working with him and eventually came up with the idea of a network of casinos. The rest, as they say, is history."

Today, the casino network has a variety of used components, including touch screens, LCDs, reel strips, and electronic components, supplied by manufacturers aristocracy, Bali, IGT, Konami, Spilo, and WMS, and supplies equipment for casinos in Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and the Caribbean, in addition to a few properties in Mexico. His client list includes Borige Resort & Casino, IP Casino Resort Spa and Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel in Biloxi, Gold Strike Casino Resort and Sam's Town Hotel & Casino Shreveport in Louisiana.

Over the past 27 years, there have been many peaks and valleys across casino networks and the gaming industry, thanks to economic downturns, technological advances, and most recently, the pandemic. When the business began, it was only Mr. Son and his wife, Luwela, who ran the company. The couple moved to Arlington, Texas, two years after the casino network began, once employing eight people and owning a 30,000-square-foot warehouse.

Today, the business is still thriving, but the employees have only returned to the Mike's and they run it from their homes.

"That's how it all started, and that's what we're going back to," CEO Sohn said. "When Corona hit, I saw the writing on the wall and decided to reduce it. So we came to the full circle."

"But we are still here and continue to grow. Once again, I go back to all the relationships I've managed to have over the years. This is why we were able to survive and thrive. I don't mean to brag, but the casino network couldn't exist without me. I don't think anyone else could have done what I did with this business. That's just true."

Without a doubt, starting work with Erik Black, Suncist Graphics's president, is Suncist Graphics' most important relationship. The Suncist Graphics account is responsible for nearly three quarters of the business that the casino network creates, and as a bonus Suncist Graphics and Black have become best friends.

"Working with Eric and Sunkist has been a real blessing and one of the main reasons we're still strong," Son said. "But believe me, it was not easy for us or the Sunkist to survive.

"A few years ago, Eric and I used to talk and say, 'We're going to be out of business soon because all these slot machines are going to film videos and they're not using glass anymore.' But to Eric's credit, we started to provide other things that the casino needed. We had to innovate."

"Today, even as every game turns to video and new technology emerges, the industry will need talent like us forever."

And Son is perfectly happy to keep plugging in and doesn't expect to retire anytime soon, nor does he want to.

"I love this industry and I'm excited," said Son, who is expecting big growth this year when he officially adds the Philippines to his territorial list. "I love people, I love gambling, and this is a very helpful and very profitable industry. I'm not going to get any younger, but the way we prepare for the situation is really fine-tuned machines. I'm 63 and I'll probably do this until I'm 80. And I wouldn't want it any other way." 바카라사이트

between today and yesterday, i soaked the watermelon seeds overnight and then potted them up in nursery pots this morning.

yesterday i spent most of the day trying to remove and prep the sunflower seeds. i had them soaking in a vinegar soapy bath to remove the worms, which worked a little, but there were still a lot hanging onto their little empty seed homes for dear life. also, the damn squirrels got into the patio and started eating the area of the sunflower that wasn't submerged. 😫

i waited until late in the evening when the sun went down to remove most of the seeds. washed them and then salted them and I'm now laying them out in the garage to dry a bit before i roast them.

cleaned up the onion/leek/ garlic basket today. I'll have to buy a few more spring onion as the ones i saved my last buy started rotting before i could get them in the soil. the 2 leeks i got from the local store and rooting amazing, but the 3 i got from Walmart started to sprout already and the bulbs are really weird and splitting. I'm going to let them flower and go to seed since there's not much else i can do with them. i also spaced out the garlic more and then interplanted the newer bulbs so i should have a good interval. i had a lot of extra soil left over from the basket so i mixed it with some eggshells and threw it in plot 2.

i organized the seeds yesterday and planted some spring onions next to the chives. bagged the arugula and bok choi and the rest of the spring onions. the poppy seeds still need to dry out. i have so many of them and i cut away so much from the area trying to free up the sprinkler, which it took over. it looks pretty bare and ugly in the area, but the plant is either going to die off, which i won't mind, or regrow and i can maintain it better.

I'm not sure what's going on with the edamame. the plant leaves are starting to yellow and fall off and i don't see any new growth. i pulled a few of the icicle radish that weren't doing much as well and to be honest, only 2 really look like they're anything other than just a thin root.

tomatoes are looking good today. the mesclun greens i replanted and the purple basil are all recovering well. peppers are growing (I'm a little concerned about 2 of the habaneros that are kind of stunted, but i think they'll do better now that the sunflower roots are pulled up.)

I'm still not sure which Indian eggplant to cut, but i know which tomato plant i will. no female flowers on the kabocha, and i must have missed the 2 that did flower because they're already dying off. the buttercup squash has one that should open any day now and i should probably pull the next male flower so i can be sure to save the pollen for when the female opens.

i have one long bean! didn't even notice it until earlier today and it's already a little over half a foot long!

other than that... carrots are doing well. stevia is getting bushier. the propagations are doing nice, but the stevia is turning brown at the tips. it's still fairly firm, though. the ground cherries are not doing well... again. 🙄. cucumbers are popping up.

my goal for tomorrow is to do a light fertilizer ground cover in plot 1 and a fertilizing water solution on all the plants individually so i can get a good look at each one. maybe set up the pots for the watermelons. throw a metal pole in one of the tomatoes for more stability. better be inspect the Daikon radishes because something is eating them, and clip more parsley to give the peppers around it more sun. (can I propogate parsley?). maybe plant some more cilantro because whenever i need it, i don't have it. the orange pot should do and i have a few corriander that are starting to dry up.

garden work is never done, but if i can get all of that done by tomorrow, i should have it pretty easy the rest of the week and it's going to get hotter so i can focus on keeping the plants well hydrated and maintained.

What was the last liquid that you choked on? Probably water a long time ago. I don’t choke on drinks that often.

When you sign your name do you use your middle name? I use my first name, middle initial, and surname. I used to omit my middle initial until one of my high school teachers talked about the significance of including it, like how it’s remembering your mom’s side and how it’s a part of you and all. For some reason that talk, which I’m sure was really just meant to be said in passing, struck me and since that day I’ve been including my initial. I legit remember that teacher every time I sign my whole name lol.

Do you dry off in the shower or out of the shower? I step out.

Describe the last place you went farther than one mile from your house? It’s my childhood home. One-storey house that’s part of a duplex, three bedrooms with an elevated kitchen, and the unofficial home to a number of stray cats as my grandma likes to leave leftovers for them.

Who did you celebrate your last birthday with? Family and closest friends. Do you have anything important to do today? I already want to do some pre-work prep tonight - crafting my to-do list, mapping out which deliveries to book, etc - so that I more or less have a game plan of how to divide and conquer the mountain of work I will inevitably be greeted with tomorrow. But we’ll see if I’ll actually have the energy to open my work laptop tonight hahaha.

Was your last kiss initiated by you or the other person? I’m not sure, it was over two years ago. Probably me as the other person was already checked out by that point, unbeknownst to me.

What appliance in your house had a light bulb burn out last? My rechargeable wall lamp. I know this doesn’t answer the question directly lol but whatever.

Who was the last person from your high school graduating class you saw? Angela.

3.) What did you buy the last time you went shopping for new clothes? I got this beige oversized shirt that reminded me so much of Namjoon so I didn’t think twice about getting it lol, even though I was at the store initially to just get clothes for Hans.

16.) What is your favorite thing to go shopping for? Christmas gifts.

17.) How organized are you? It’s almost a hobby.

18.) What were the positives and negatives of your last week? Positives would be meeting the cutest aspin at my dad’s relative’s place during a family reunion. I legit skipped out on much of the party just to hang out with the dog who was as sweet and affectionate as it gets, lol. And getting my loft bed done!

A big negative is what happened to one of the food trays I ordered, supposedly for media noche. It was a bad combination of awful packaging and rowdy driving of the delivery rider, which led to ALL the sauce in one of the beef dishes I got completely spilling during the ride :( It was the most expensive thing I got so it really upset me; but fortunately the now-sauceless-dish still tasted fine.

19.) If applicable, how did you decide what you wanted to study in college/university? I liked to write and had always enjoyed watching news documentaries, cementing what I thought was an interest in journalism. 

20.) What was the last thing you received in the mail? It was a bunch of BTS merch that got shipped to me at once - Jungkook’s photofolio, the Speak Yourself: The Final DVD, and The Astronaut set.

21.) What is one of your wildest dreams or ambitions? Owning a business. 22.) When was the last time you performed in front of a group of people? I got pulled into an impromptu, last-minute hosting gig for a recent PR event.

23.) Who was the last person to upset you? How about the last person to cheer you up? I got upset over a client who messaged today because it reminded me I go back to work tomorrow LOL. Last person to make me happy was my dad for his work on my new loft bed.

24.) Is there anything or anyone you’re trying to get over or let go of? No.

25.) What was the subject of your last phone conversation? It was just my mom asking if it would be more practical to order from Grab or just go to the actual restaurant and get takeout for NYE dinner preps.

26.) What are your plans for tomorrow? How about the weekend? Tomorrow I’ll be working. This weekend we’re going to Tanay for a vacation.

27.) When was the last time you were sick? May 2020.

28.) How close do you have to be with someone before you’ll consider them a friend? I guess when we can start jokingly hurling insults at each other.

29.) What did the last jacket you wore look like? It’s a black cardigan.

30.) Name five things you can grab from where you’re sitting. Koya plushie, Tata plushie, blanket, vape pen, phone.

So I was thinking... How about Ayato!reader × fish mafia trio! Especially Azul tho. Their mole, cunning personality, and more! Also, in a hc format. A big thanks!

AAAA OMG I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME AYATO'S OFFICIAL DESIGN GOT RELEASE I WAS LIKE ??? looks familiar then i look at azul and a light bulb light up LMAOOO

octavinelle with a kamisato ayato-like gn!reader!

the young but highly accomplished head of the a known distinguished clan in their world. Cultured and polite, they are a person of many ways and means.

: ̗̀➛ azul ashengrotto

i'm sure i've forgotten something... oh my? i am pretty sure this isn't the kamisato residence, can you kindly tell me where am i?"

azul's first thought is - oh my god am i looking at the mirror? is he my lost twin? he is just like me fr fr.

the octavinelle dorm leader couldn't help but to avoid you, after his senses telling him not to get tangled in your business but in the end you two become friends- close friends in fact

he just find it so amazing how you can give the sweetest and the most pleasant compliment anyone would want to hear to and also insult a person with a smiling face

at times you and the tweels would team up and pull some pranks on the octopus like taste testing some of your cookings 😨

"ne, ne azul. we got you some food~"

"oh? it is not my birthday today, but thank you very much." after taking a bite, jade came in with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"that was made by (name)-san by the way."

he banned you from entering the kitchen after that.

very interested about your nation's cuisine though, and would try to ask you specific ingredients but never lets you cook

despite your mischievous personality, azul would always count on your knowledge during the questionable and troubling times.

you are not really the type to take one side of the question immediately and sees the problem as a whole and at a third person point of view

"thank you for such a wonderful advice (name)."

"it's alright. trusting another person isn't easy, but you have placed your trust in me, and of course i will not let you down."

whenever he is having a bad day, you would never fail to cheer him up and take him out to buy boba to also refill you 'magical sleeve'

"the boba was delici- didn't you just finished drinking that?"

"huh? i have my refills in my sleeve." cue you grabbing another boba from your sleeves and handing it to azul. "here i really like this flavor."

"... did you just got that out of your sleeve?!"

azul is like the little brother you never had and you are so proud of the achievements he is making on his own and azul also feels the same - seeing you as his older sibling but please do not tease him too much 😭

: ̗̀➛ jade leech

oh my? jade never met someone as matured and refined as you. and the moment he notice your striking physical similarities with azul he couldn't help but to be amused. like who wouldn't?

insane duo for real, because having you together with jade - no one can read through your smiles and expressions except for your closest friends

the vice dorm leader knows about your 'cooking' skills and once tried helping you but he regrets and learn the hard way not to let you in the kitchen

"so? how does it taste?"

"hmm... i have no words how to explain it, how about we make azul judge?"

the eel really appreciate how you often keep him in company especially talking about your family and duties as the head of a clan makes him admire you

like having such responsibility at the age where you could've have fun and make some friends at your age and yet you chose to manage your clan to protect your younger sister

"isn't it hard for you at that age?"

"it was hard, not being able to trust other people knowing that they are after my position and my family's power. but seeing my sister and close friend safe? it gave me strength and more motivation to keep going on."

jade is the type of person you will rarely caught off guard but with you grabbing stuff from your sleeves always made him lose his composure a little bit

"you know what? i wouldn't question it anymore."

why on eat do you have a milk-tea and dango in your sleeves? oh you are offering him to eat? sure why not he would like to try out your world's food of choice.

sometimes join you and floyd whenever you two decided to train, seeing your watery illusion is so fascinating to see and you swordsmanship too is also no joke.

overall jade is very glad because not only did he gain your trust but also a very wonderful friend. he will always have your back no matter what.

: ̗̀➛ floyd leech

floyd really found it interesting, meeting a person very unpredictable and hard to understand that is why the eel intend to make friends with you.

whenever he is not in the mood, the eel would go look for you to ask some milk-tea and listen to your stories about a certain oni always fight

you are okay with beetle fights? fight with floyd rn! trying to follow your friend's recipe in cooking? let him help! going to prank people? gladly 😈

"burūmārin, what are you doing?"

"oh hi floyd! i was just about to nicely set ace and deuce lunch box hehe, do you want to join me?"

"hehe sure~ i have nothing to do anyway."

knowing how floyd loves to threaten people that he would squeeze them but to his shock - you always beat him in doing so!

always hugging him first whenever you two see each other + ruffling his hair making him light up like a christmas tree 🥺

sometimes you are the person he would drag whenever he would go buy new trendy shoes and you had lots of fun!

happy eel + happy prefect = enjoyable day 🥳

prefer to fight your water illusion 😡 why is the illusion just standing there looking through him huh round up!

"huh? floyd what are you doing?"

"having a staring contest with your illusion."

"..." then the illusion splash some water in his eyes before hiding behind you. "come back here you!"

despite the pranks and playful banter, the eel really looks up to you - not only for your skills but also the way you handle matters especially after knowing about your past.

and floyd really appreciates it when you would go out your way to ensure that he is feeling okay after walking out of the lounge

its feels like he gain a big brother that always dotes on him and spoil him. to return the favor, he vow to always look after you and will not hesitate to defend you from any harm.

I RECEIVE SOME OF THE REQUESTS UEUEUE ILL START DOING IT BY TOMORROW <33 and wieee i have been binge watching k drama for a while i am curious what kind of genre you guys look for when watching series 🥸 ???

right where you left me

Joyce Byers x Reader

Word count: 3,469

A/N: Okay so I have no idea what I’m writing, I hope it turns out good :) I’m in love with Joyce Byers and of course Winona Ryder ❤️

The intention of your move to Hawkins was to leave everything superficial behind and move into something more homely that only a small town could offer. Meeting Joyce Byers was the sweetest and most heartbreaking coincidence of all.

1985

Something that characterized us human beings as a species was sociability. Perhaps some more than others, but social nonetheless. That's why the town of Hawkins had caught your attention. Very fed up with the rushed and superficial city, you were longing for a quieter place where there was that companionship that could only be found in small towns, where everyone knew everyone else and therefore, there was a warm and welcoming unity.

You knew that grocery shopping was urgent as soon as you settled in that town. As much as you enjoyed surviving on fast food bought at the drive-thru during the long journey to your destination, it would bring terrible consequences in the long run. It would be a good coping method to cook something as homely as possible and after that, walk around the neighborhood.

You weren't sure where the shop was, or how far it was to know whether it was better to walk or drive, but one thing you were sure of, you weren't going to use the car for a while. You had rested, and you had taken the time to at least get your belongings out of the boxes, but still, recovering from the drive would take a long time.

On the kitchen counter rested the directory, which was already there when you arrived. It was definitely courtesy of the saleswoman, for she knew that you knew very little about Hawkins and there would come a time when you would need something like this.

There you came across Melvald's General Store, well, if it was called "general" it was that you could find everything from food to prepare something decent to a new light bulb before it got dark. It was a fun but unexpected thing to try out the lighting and have the light bulb explode.

You set off, then, to where you hoped you would find everything you needed, accompanied by a notebook that had the address written on it along with the things to buy, and obviously your cassette player and your headphones that allowed you to enjoy "The Wild Heart" by none other than Stevie Nicks.

As you entered the place, there didn't seem to be a soul in sight. It would be ironic to even encounter the typical desert tumbleweed eventually. It was a good thing, though, sometimes too many people pushing, cluttering the aisles or making the long checkout lines were more uncomfortable than usual.

"Hi! Welcome to Melvald's, if you need anything, let me know," you heard a sweet, overly friendly voice that you couldn't help but feel genuinely welcome as she said. Your first instinct was to look at the checkout counter, but it was empty. "I'm over here," she giggled, waving to draw your attention.

You encountered a woman kneeling on the floor, arranging the cards. She had wavy hair, which was just long enough to barely fall slightly past her shoulders. Her eyes were a brown color, a brown you had never seen before, perhaps because they were vivid and were one of the characteristics that made you want to capture this woman's beauty as much as you could.

"Oh, hello, thank you," you replied a little awkwardly, still, you didn't feel embarrassed. She looked like the kind of person who was safe to be awkward with, for some reason it was something you could tell at a glance. "I actually need help. I just moved in, I got here at six in the morning and I didn't have breakfast, where can I find something to make lunch?"

"I thought it was odd that a customer came in today," she commented, looking disappointed. "Sorry, it's not that varied here. You'd have to go to Bradley's Big Buy, that's a supermarket."

Disappointment also came over you, but for a reason unrelated to what you could deduce the clerk at the place had. A lack of clientele severe enough to be missed by even one customer would have anyone frustrated.

"I need other things anyway," you replied in an attempt to comfort her, assuring her that you weren't going to leave without buying at least one of the summer glasses that were on sale. "I'll go get them and if I need help, I'll call you, uh..." you paused for a moment for her to indicate her name.

"Joyce," she introduced herself, immediately replacing disappointment with excitement in a matter of seconds.

That shop really did have a little bit of everything. It may not have been as "general" as it claimed to be, but it was enough that you walked out with two large bags of various items. Still, you had to return home to drop off those bags and head back out to the supermarket that the friendly Joyce had mentioned.

Oh, Joyce. You had barely exchanged a few words at the checkout, and from that moment on, she was in your mind to stay. You thought of her as you cooked, you thought of her as you ate, and as you went for the walk you had set out on, you thought of her every day. You wanted to see her, but you wanted even more to meet her.

So the next day, you went back to the shop, and the next, and the next. Within a week of going every day without fail, she became suspicious, but incorrectly, for you knew she believed that the reason for your constant visits was anything other than her.

"You came here today just to buy a pen and a notebook?" She blurted out, once you were at the checkout.

"Yes, I wanted to write down some addresses today and it turns out I had already used all the pages in my notebook, and my pen had long since run out of ink," you explained. It was one of the many excuses you had made up. The first two days you bought more essential things like a home phone and kitchen utensils, but what you bought on the last three days were things that were unnecessary or could be bought another time. It was until this day that she decided to stop omitting the inquisitive looks and actually talked about it.

"If you're doing this just because you want to help the business, don't do it. It's money you're spending for fun and it could lack when you really need it," she implied.

"What are you talking about?"

"Come on, yesterday you only bought a keychain and the day before yesterday you bought some gloves when it was hot as hell out there. You wandered around and ended up buying only one thing," her tone showed so much confidence. You imagined her trying so hard to decipher the reason for your visits and you knew it, she had even imagined this conversation long before.

"I've just moved in, and it's obvious that I have to have certain..."

"Bullshit," she interrupted you, challenging you with her gaze.

You were in an internal debate as to which lie was wiser; to tell her that this was the reason you had been coming or simply to tell her without further explanation that it wasn't.

"Well, I'll be honest, you're the closest thing to a friend I've made lately. And it's always comforting to chat with someone even for a few seconds," was partly true. You had gotten a job at Starcourt Mall, more specifically at Orange Julius. Your co-worker was usually very tense and every time you tried to talk to him, he would rudely ask you not to distract him. Joyce, apart from being extremely attractive, was easygoing, so you loved to sum up your day for her and have her do the same.

What little sternness she had adopted in addressing you vanished, "Oh, you should have told me," she smiled amiably. "On Friday my oldest son will be working late and my youngest son will be out with his friends. My workday ends at 5PM. Would you like me to take you to see Hawkins?" she offered.

It was only Tuesday, and although two days could pass unnoticed by anyone, you were counting every second to see her, and it felt like an eternity. And you thought that when the day came, you would be calmer, but there was no way it would be five o'clock in the afternoon either. Whenever you looked at the clock, thinking three hours had passed, it was barely thirty minutes. The waiting became a slow torture of terrible despair, and it would only end when Joyce stood in front of you.

"So where are we going?" You asked, when you met at her workplace promptly at five o'clock. Predictably, that feeling faded, replaced by excitement for whatever the rest of the day would bring.

She bit her lip, "I was waiting for you to say it. I don't know what you like, what catches your eye. You're young, maybe you want to go to the mall."

"Oh no, I just got out of there. I'd rather like to go roller skating, do you know a place like that?"

"Oh well, I'm too old to roller skate," she joked, causing you to snort in disagreement.

"Shut up, you're never too old to enjoy things. Take me to the rink," you insisted, and she had no choice but to accede to your request.

It was a nice ride, full of jokes and laughter, and with each passing second you wondered whether you had known this woman for a week or a decade, for it seemed that both you and her were eager to liven up the atmosphere more and more.

"Oh wow, this place is perfect!" You exclaimed, capturing every detail that made up the place; neon lights, good music, enough people but not an overwhelming amount who seemed to be having a good time. One hundred percent of the times it wasn't so much about the place, it was about the person you were sharing it with, you were sure with Joyce you could be on a smelly street and still enjoy it because she was with you.

"I can't believe I agreed to this," she grumbled as she put on her respective skate shoes once you both acquired them. "I feel everyone's eyes on me."

You looked around, and no one seemed to notice the presence of anyone other than themselves or their companions, but you understood what she was feeling, oh how much you understood.

"Then rest your eyes on mine, and don't leave them, focus on me," you asked, offering her both of your hands. Whatever it cost you, you were willing to help her let go little by little until she felt confident.

And you were proud to say that you succeeded, her posture soon straightened, her smile gradually took over and her body lost its stiffness. She began to let herself be guided by the music, closing her eyes from time to time while stretching out her arms, and the highlight of the day was being able to witness that, to get to know a new side of Joyce.

The pretty employee of the store you went to, never imagining that you would meet someone you fell in love with after four months of spending at least three times a week with her.

Because those outings to get to know the city became outings only, and before you knew it, you were already going to fancy restaurants, a little more dressed up than usual. You didn't want to ask her if they were dates, and she didn't want to seem to tell you either. You didn't know if she felt the same way, or if she just liked to vary your outings. It ate you up inside, of course, that you had no idea what this was about, yet Joyce Byers enjoyed your company and you enjoyed hers. That was what mattered.

"I'd like to toast," she raised her wine glass, her eyes faintly reflecting the chandelier that brought cozy illumination. Her makeup was natural; she knew very well how to bring out her most beautiful features, and her attire consisted of a long-sleeved reddish-brown blouse, straight and high-waisted gray trousers, a belt the same color as the blouse, and a gray blazer that came to her knees, but it was resting on the back of the chair. She looked classy, befitting the place, which didn't require an outfit equivalent to what royalty would wear, though she looked like a queen no matter what she wore.

"A motive?" you asked, mimicking her movement.

"Getting to know each other. You're that light that turns ordinary days into extraordinary ones, you've given me experiences I thought I'd never experience again from day one when you convinced me to roller skate with you, and also your company is the most pleasing. My life is usually either total chaos or total serenity, and you bring a wonderful balance," she confessed. If only you could get up and kiss her, if only you could even take her hand, anything to express your deep love for her.

"That seems reason enough for me. You make moving to Hawkins worth it, because you're the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you for being with me on every adventure."

You clinked glasses and later ate your dinner. It was a dreamy evening and every detail seemed to be in place; violinists played with such care that it was inevitable not to stand in silence for a few seconds to appreciate them, the food was exquisite as was the wine, the waiters were extremely friendly, the weather was mild and you had enough privacy to talk.

Since it was Friday and still early, after finishing that lovely evening, you ran to the movie shop to rent some movies. You came up with this plan when you told her that you had never seen "The Ghostbusters," she was so surprised that she decided that you would watch that movie that night along with any other movie that caught your attention when you went there.

It was arguably the best night of your life, but also the most stormy in some ways. You say this because when you arrived at her house, both of her sons were in the dining room eating, and when they saw you, they looked extremely perplexed. You knew so much about them, Joyce spoke of both boys with such pride and love in every word, but they seemed to have no idea who you were.

"Jonathan, Will, this is (Y/N)."

They evaluated you from head to toe, without saying a word. Will, who you knew was the youngest, had his eyebrows slightly raised with a sheepish look on his face, but Jonathan had a frown and was the one who intimidated you the most.

"It's a pleasure, I've heard great things about you," you smiled as friendly as you could, and it wasn't enough to make them drop whatever they were thinking.

"A pleasure," Will half smiled, lowering his gaze and then looking down at his food.

"Yeah, what he said," Jonathan spoke up.

An awkward silence fell over you all, until Joyce decided to speak, "We'll use the TV, don't you mind?"

"No, in fact I will continue to eat in my room," the oldest son notified, and subsequently withdrew, without once looking at you or his mother.

"And I, uh, can I go to Mike's?" The youngest son cleared his throat, wiggling his fork, picking at his food.

"Sure, but you better come back early tomorrow," Joyce agreed.

He likewise withdrew without another word. Both making you feel defeated and overly disappointed with yourself. You didn't expect to be greeted with hugs or smiles, you were a stranger, but you also didn't expect such coldness to the point of being this tense.

"Okay, that wasn't so bad," you bit your lip nervously.

"Most of the time it's me and them, they're not used to it," she reassured you. "Let’s make popcorn and feel free to have whatever drinks or treats you want. Make yourself at home."

As the film went on and the night progressed, the event with Joyce's children left your mind. You were really about to forget about it until Jonathan headed into the living room.

"Mom, can we talk alone?" He asked. Guilt took hold of you immediately. Both he and Will looked uncomfortable, and who knows what they would reproach their mom for when you were gone. Maybe they hated you because Joyce had spent so much time with you, and you had no intention of her wasting time with her children by being with you.

She nodded, indicating that you could continue watching the film and then headed to what you assumed was his room. You couldn't handle the curiosity, so with tremendous caution, you walked over to that area and put your ear to the door.

"No, it’s not that. I just thought that, all this time, you were dating a man. It's just t-the expression on your face when you come back home after those times you said you were going out, how you've been behaving lately, do you consider (Y/N) your friend or are you looking for something else?"

You gasped as you listened to what he was saying, and instinctively covered your mouth before they realized you were listening.

"I'm sorry if I didn't tell you. I was afraid of what you guys would think and to tell you the truth, even I don't know what I'm doing. I mean, I've felt this before, but not... like this," she faltered, followed by a silence that didn't last long.

"What we would think? I'm extremely happy for you and I know Will is too. Any son would be happy to see his adored mother regain that happiness after falling in love again, because that's what you are, in love."

You couldn't help but let out without shame the tears that were beginning to spill uncontrollably from your eyes. Hearing that Joyce felt exactly the same way, that you were able to positively impact her life, and that her children approved was unbelievably transcendental. All that was left was to make a move, it was the only step to make official what you were both sick of keeping quiet about, and that was that you were too much in love.

You walked back to the living room and after a minute, Joyce joined you on the couch.

"What's wrong with you?" she questioned. As much as you tried to prevent her from looking at you, you were unsuccessful, as your eyes were still glazed over.

You sighed, "Oh, it's a very emotional movie. I love it."

She let out a laugh.

"You heard everything, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did," you admitted, embarrassed but not sorry.

It was her turn to sigh.

"If you want to stop talking to me, I'll understand."

You summoned all the courage you could to look at her; she was looking at you expectantly and what you did next marked the beginning of a new adventure called love, requited love where there was no fear of passionately expressing it to the other person.

You kissed her, and it was as if all the pieces you felt were missing had found their way to complement you. It felt so surreal that you tried to capture every second, as if it was a dream and you had to wake up. Her lips fit so well with yours, as did her hands with your waist, and no doubt your souls were celebrating their reunion after who knows how long yearning for this very moment.

You thought it would be the beginning of something magical, of official dates, love letters, songs to dedicate to each other, and other multiple unforgettable experiences where there would be no lack of kisses, caresses, and loving words that you would address on a frequent basis.

That lasted barely two weeks. She stopped going to the shop, the few times you managed to meet her she avoided you or told you she didn't have time, you eventually gave up. No day passed by where you didn’t torment yourself thinking about what you had done, or what had happened to make her decide that you were better off away from her.

Just when you thought you would never hear from her again, you received a letter that was no more than half a page long, unsigned but in her handwriting.

She told you that she would always love you, but that she had to leave because circumstances and grief were forcing her to do so. Joyce Byers had left Hawkins.

And you remained, right where she left you.

[disabledwarrior]

It's time.

Claps my hands together, so a little bit ago I had the overwhelming urge to make the Dilf Hat.

To start: the reference image used

It's a Screencap I feel very normal about, but anyways it started normal looking but to make the fold look the way I wanted I had to knit this inside out

So it does look weird lmfao

I don't remember how many stitches I cast bcus I'm insane but I know it was k4p1 for the brim then the reverse for the rest p4k1 but u could probably just see thatkskdjfkt here's bumble she's helping

I made the choice to add the words After I knit the hat bcus I didn't wanna figure it out at the time while knitting it

Also I didn't have to buy yarn for this I had the colors in my stash bcus I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM

Also I'm light sensitive so my light bulb is super dim but the colors are very bright source dude trust me

Halfway through the first Pa the button came in!

Fuck yeah dude. So I added the letters with the duplicate stitch[?is that what its called] And I used Double the yarn thiccness to really make it pop. But enough of that look at this bitch FINISHED

Its for me and I will probably never make another one ♡ it's large enough so I can wear it right to my eyebrows and pull the pose Phoenix is doing but I'm out of image slots so no selfie today
