Dustan sat down beside them. “I started climbing up to these heights because I needed space,” they admitted. “I could be wrong, but it seems like you’re doing the same thing now. Let me know if you want me to leave, okay?”
Niko shook their head. “It’s fine.”
“If you’re sure.” Dustan said.

Thinking about how a year ago my airpods were just not working, like I had so many problems with them, so for christmas my mum got me a new pair and then I just didn't get around to unpacking them and just kept using the old pair and after a while I realised all of the issues were gone, and now it's november and my old airpods still work perfectly fine 😭

SoP ON LAPTOP UPDATE:
I did not buy this laptop with gaming in mind because I bought it before I knew about this game. the specs are ok, though. game runs at 30 without sacrificing anything I care much about
(1920x1080; high texture quality; 3D modeling scale at 100%; chromatic aberration (which you can turn off for some reason ?? and also probably doesn't affect the processing speed much lol))
It chugs pretty frequently, but NOT in fights (cutscenes start a little slideshow-esque sometimes & the menus. aren't actually necessarily responsive on the ps5 either so whatever) so. it's chill.
I AM curious about how much better my desktop machine would do with it, since that thing's got a 6700 XT in it. wait let me go check if I have space on my fucking. drives. 100 godforsaken GBs of Jack's Game; he's lucky I like him so much
no I'd have to move stuff off my SSD onto my damn hard drive first. to be fair I should probably. move my home folder onto a bigger SSD but THAT'S SO MUCH WORK
anyway I'll probably do that sometime so we're GOING to find out how much of the Problems are from my hardware & how much are from the compatibility layer. or the. game. I know about the inherent optimization problems already don't you worry.
(or maybe we'll find new problems. *runs debian on her fucking gamer computer*)
new knowledge: to play stranger of paradise on linux and have the cutscenes actually work (& not Literally show up as a test pattern. lol), you have to use a Specific compatibility tool that's Not the one that's Built In to Steam, because, the video files, are .wmvs, that use insane person codecs, apparently.
(the built-in compatibility tool seems to have ALMOST fixed this issue, because it's annoying and also low-priority, because: only an insane person would be using .wmv files in this way in their reasonably new game. apparently.)

Daily update post:
This morning, 15 minutes after the break in fighting was supposed to begin, Hamas fired two rocket barrages into southern Israel. This is what we mean when we say that Hamas has broken every ceasefire ever. The only reason why this didn't lead to the hostage deal falling apart, is because Israel chose to "contain" Hamas' violent rocket attack. But remember this when we explain why we can't accept Hamas' existence anymore.
Tumblr media
Israel confirmed that the 13 hostages being released have arrived in Egypt, and there are already Israelis there, taking care of them. IDK when we'll get their names, and images of them safe back in Israel, but as you can imagine, everyone here is holding its breath for that. Still, their well being comes first, they're being taken to a hospital first, to see their families, and only then (and based on whatever they prefer) will there be anything more public. There will not be interviews, however, 'coz something they say might risk the other groups of hostages meant to be released in the upcoming days.
Hamas is also releasing some of the Thai nationals they've kidnapped (I heard 12 of the 23 taken hostage), which are being let go of unconditionally. Before anyone tries to make out this shows Hamas is humane, I'll just point out that Hamas terrorists murdered at least 33 Thais on Oct 7.
Some of my fave commentators recently on what's going on here since Hamas' massacre aren't Jewish, or even Israeli. Here's a few of their tweets:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Regarding the last one, I just wanna say that most Israelis will continue to trust most Arabs. That's just how we have always lived, despite the on going terror attacks. The day after Oct 7, I mentioned that I went to my hospital treatment. The guard there is an Arab guy. He carries a gun. I couldn't help but think about it. And then I did what I always do, I thanked him for his work (being a guard is difficult), and wished him a good day. He smiled big and wished me the same. He's lovely. What Hamas did on Oct 7 is not his fault. But the mistrust of survivors, and some of those who care about them, is also very human and understandable, as much as I'll continue to call on everyone not to generalize about Arabs, or any group.
Especially when some of Hamas' victims are themselves Arabs. Here's a young Israeli Muslim Bedouin woman, who has been speaking up on behalf of her friend, 17 years old Aisha al Ziadna, who was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct 7.
Tumblr media
A Sky News reporter was particularly shameful the other day. She tried to use Israel's willingness to release 3 convicted terrorist per just 1 innocent civilian hostage to vilify Israel. Here's the reply she got:
Just a reminder, once again, that when you listen to western media, which is supposed to be objective, these are often their info sources on this conflict:
Tumblr media
Speaking of lack of objectivity, an Israeli newspaper found out that the International Criminal Court has appointed a Danish lawyer to investigate the Israel-Hamas war, and it's a man (I'm not sure I'm transcribing his name from Hebrew correctly, but it should be something like Andreas Laursen) who has worked in the past for a Palestinian "human rights organization" which has been outlawed in 2021 for having ties to terrorist organizations, who was involved in 2018 in trying to make the case that Israel had committed war crimes, who has lived in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, and who is married to a Palestinian woman. This Israeli newspaper has contacted the ICC, asking why the person appointed to this investigation isn't someone who would at least appear to be unbiased. The answer was (I'm translating from the Hebrew article): "We maintain confidentiality about anything that pertains to specific subjects that are related to our employees. Every personal decision made by the head prosecutor fits the policy and relevant procedures that oversee the court's human resources matters."
Because there are still people denying the Hamas rapes:
instagram
I've spoken before about Liel, and how long it took to identify her body, but this tweet kind of broke me all over again.
Tumblr media

Mentee
A/N: I made this last year AND requests are open!!! (I'm begging someone to request wanda and/or nat 🙏🙏🙏)
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x Female!Reader
Warning: smut, masturbation, idk what else tbh as I said this was made last year, mommy kink maybe, dom!wanda, sub!reader, this mentions aos cause I made this when I was OBSESSED with aos
Summary: Wanda caught you doing something and confronts you with her assumption
Word Count: 4k
Tumblr media
You had a big crush on your mentor Wanda, but you don't make it look obvious. You wanted to be seen as someone professional and serious, not a bubbly girl who has this insane crush on her mentor. You only steal glimpses of the redhead from time to time whenever you can, and she smirks and looks back down whenever she caught you. You often slip off, daydreaming about the most sinful things she can possibly do to you, and it's either Kate nudging you to get off fantasy land, or long enough to realize Wanda had caught you, which makes her giggle.
You were on your way to Natasha's class, you realized that you were the only one attending it since the rest of the mentees were in Fitzsimmons' class, which you attended earlier. You opened the door, and to your shock, you saw Wanda.
''Where are the others?'' Asked your mentor, seeing you enter the room alone.
''They're in Fitzsimmons' class.'' You replied.
''And why aren't you there?'' She asked again, tilting her head.
''I attended the class earlier today.'' You replied, awkwardly heading your way towards her.
''Mhm.'' She hummed to your response.
''Where's agent Romanoff?'' You questioned, gesturing where to your right hand.
''She's on a mission. I'll be her sub for now.''
''How long will her mission be?''
''Wanna get rid of me much?"' Wanda chuckled.
''No- no, it's not like that. I- I was just wondering since she told us to master Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which we were supposed to perform with her today.'' You awkwardly replied.
''Well, we won't be doing any of that, since I don't even know what that is.'' She smiled.
''Oh. What we'll be doing then?'' You asked, confused about what she had in mind.
''Freestyle.'' She proudly stated.
''Freestyle?'' You repeated.
''Yeah, I mean, why not? I was planning on the mentees practicing with each other, to find out what they're best and good at, but it seems like we'll be practicing together.'' She raised her shoulders and headed her way to the center of the room.
''Okay, that seems... cool.'' You said, dropping your gym bag on the floor.
''Just to heads up, I will be using my powers.'' She cleared out.
''What?!'' You asked, confused.
''Don't worry, I'll just use it to throw stuff at you-'' She gets cut off.
''YOU'LL THROW STUFF AT ME?!'' You respond, frantically.
''No- no, just small harmless objects. Besides, it was gonna happen anyway. Stark updated the inquiries, and it makes sense since powered people are also on the list of bad guys. And you get first-hand experience.'' She winked at you.
She was never this... flirtatious? I mean, maybe she is? You only see her in her class, and sometimes bump into her. You've never had a one-on-one event with her before. Her actions left you in shambles and in a blushing mess.
''Okay, then.'' You nod and prepared yourself for what was about to come at you.
The first couple of times, you were able to dodge and hit the objects before they could touch you. But in time, you lose focus on the woman you're training with. You never got the chance to look so closely at her for a long period of time without it trying not to get caught by her. It was so hard to focus when all you can think about is your mentor. Your mentor Wanda, whose figure is perfect, her red locks in a ponytail, her leggings sculpting her ass, the way she moves to avoid your punches, and most captivating of all, her slender fingers with her scarlet power, swinging left and right as she tries to defend herself.
God, you can only imagine what her fingers could do to you. Inside of you.
''Ouch!'' You winced.
''Oof. Sorry. Caught you off guard there. Seemed like your thoughts are elsewhere''
Yeah, elsewhere to the deepest of your imagination.
''Are you okay?'' She asked, rubbing your back.
''Yeah, I'm fine.'' You replied shaking your head.
''Are you?'' She cupped your chin for your face to face hers. ''That doesn't look good.''
''Don't worry, it's just a scratch. Shall we continue?'' You deviated from the conversation.
''No, I don't think so.'' She replied, shaking her head whilst she moves your head to check out for other possible scratches. ''We were about to come to a close anyway.'' She took her arm off and headed towards the benches. ''You should probably go to the med-bey. Or to the kitchen, if icing is all it needs.'' Wanda suggested, opening her bottle to take a drink.
You nod in response as you rush your way to the kitchen, upset that your time with the redhead had been cut short. The only opportunity you probably had with her to have a one-on-one.
After fixing yourself up, you head to your designated room and cleaned yourself. You changed into a black camisole and some short shorts since you felt comfortable sleeping like that. You dried your hair and went to bed as you dim your lights to head off to sleep.
As you lay there, you weren't able to sleep, as your thoughts were clouded by Wanda. Nothing. But. Wanda. You couldn't stop thinking about earlier. About how gorgeous she was, how she was caring towards you, gentle towards you, how you two shared such intimacy, that you savored every second of, and yet again, her hands. Her slender, veiny hands moved around the room as if they owned it. How she controlled and moved it, and how you're so attracted to every single movement of hers.
First, it was all thoughts of admiration, then you start to immensely think of the nastiest thoughts. You didn't even notice your hand shift underneath the covers, teasing your clothed cunt. Stroking it up and down as you feel a wet patch create between your thighs. You can feel yourself close to your peak until you heard the door open. You shifted your hand off and besides you and jolted up as fast as you could. You look up, and there you see...
''Wanda?'' You said, eyes wide, shocked to the core.
''You're still up?'' She replied, awkwardly standing by the door. ''What are you doing?''
''Insomnia.'' You stated. You weren't lying though, you had been having trouble with your insomnia lately, but in this case, it's clearly not the cause.
''Nothing else?''
It intrigued you how invested she was in what you were doing before, and you believe that she didn't really see you do anything, since you had blankets covering you. ''Nothing.'' If nothing meant impulsively touching yourself to the thought of her.
''What brings you here?'' You asked, bringing your knees up to your chest, hugging them.
''Was about to drop this off. You forgot them.'' She said, dropping your gym bag on the floor.
''Thanks.'' You replied, looking at your gym bag.
''Yeah, no problem.'' She turned around and made her way to the door. Before she left, she turns right back around and asks you the same question. ''You sure you weren't doing anything?'' She asked, brows furrowed.
''No, nothing. Why?'' The question also made your brows furrow.
''It's just that, I swear I heard you hide your moans right before I entered.''
Her revelation made you a hot mess. Your eyes are wide open, unable to utter a word in response.
She walked closer to you and says, ''Oh, don't try to hide it, detka, I know you've been thinking about me. In class, in training, and just a few minutes ago when you lied about not doing anything, when in fact, you were touching yourself to the thought of me.'' She leaned closer to your face, almost not leaving a gap between the two of you. She pulled back and sits on the mini couch you have at your bedside.
She reads my mind? You thought to yourself. Beforehand of starting to work on the compound, it was mandatory to learn basic skills and techniques to barricade your mind, and Wanda respects too much of people's privacy to even invade their minds without their consent or valid reason.
''I know what you're thinking, detka. And I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. The moment you walked in the door, I knew you had to be mine.'' She creeped out a sinister smirk.
''But- we were-''
''Please, those mandatory skills are nothing. I can easily access anyone's mind whenever, wherever. Besides, your thoughts are too loud not to read.'' She laughed mischievously. "You really think some lessons could stop my scarlet magic?"
Well, that's comforting.
"Don't stop on my account. Go on. Continue. I know you were close before I entered. I just needed to see you for myself." She made herself comfortable on the couch, opening her legs, and relaxing her hands on her thigh.
You simply went under the covers. I mean, what else could you have done? Not obey her?
''Don't hide away from me. I wanna see all of you.'' Her voice became raspy with her Sokovian accent showing.
You slowly, shamefully, took off the covers on top of you, revealing you in your black velvet short shorts.
''Aww, you look so adorable in your shorts. Real deal definitely is better than what I've imagined.'' She laughed in a raspy tone, pouting at the sight of you in your shorts. ''Now, take them off.'' She commanded.
''What?"' You whispered.
''Take your shorts off.''
You slowly slipped your shorts off your thighs, then knees, until it was already in your ankles and you tossed them around somewhere with your foot. You lay comfortably in your bed as she watches you. You close your eyes, letting go of every single thought and worry in your mind and letting it get infiltrated by thoughts of Wanda. You weren't quite sure if it was you or her putting it on your mind, but either way, you were sure you were gonna think of her anyway.
Wanda watched you as your hands roamed around your body. Your eyes closed. Teasing yourself. You played around with your nipples through the fabric, making them poke through the cloth and making you whimper for more touch.
"That's it, baby. Please yourself for mommy." Her voice came from close by... too close.
You open your eyes to look at her, yet she's nowhere to be found on the couch.
"I'm right here, draga." She said, sitting on the other side of the bed beside your legs.
You close your eyes yet again, continuing your movements around your perked-up tits.
"You look so good, detka." She praised you while she takes one of her hands under her pants. "Take your top off." She demanded.
You obliged her request. Peaking a bit through your eyes while you take your top off, you saw her touching herself, and that made you feel hot flushes on your cheeks. You tossed your top someplace else, revealing your now fully bare chest.
You comfortably settled back down as your hands traveled on top of your chest. You draw circles on your nipples, occasionally pinching and pulling them to help the tension between your thighs. You removed one hand away from your chest, moving it towards your wet center.
"Uh, uh. Don't touch that pretty pussy of yours until I say otherwise." You opened your eyes while she said her command, seeing her shake her head as she spoke.
"Bu- I-" You whimper.
"Aww, is my little draga all wet and needy down there? Do you want mommy's fingers to please you, mhm?" She said with a mocking pouting face.
You eagerly nod while biting your lip. Waiting for a response or command for her to state.
"Yes, yes you are." She said while mirroring your movements, mocking you.
"Take your panties off. I wanna see that pretty little cunt of yours." She smirked.
You shake your panties off until they were on your ankles. Wanda used her scarlet magic to bring your soaked underwear to her view.
"I'll be keeping this." She said, taking her hands off her pants, as she grabbed the pair that was previously floating in the air.
She looks back at you whilst restoring your underwear in her pockets. Seeing your legs closed with your arm in the middle, but not touching your center.
"Come on, detka. You should know this by now. Open." Wanda gestures both her hands to signal you to open them. You slowly open them, revealing your dripping pussy. "Good girl." She praised, making you feel butterflies. "So wet, and all of this for... mommy?" She stoped and looks at you, waiting for a response.
You nod in reply, but that wasn't enough. "Use your words, darling" She spoke with her Sokovian accent showing when she said "darling".
"Yes- yes, mommy. All for you." You whimpered out.
She groans at your response. "Have I been teasing you too much? Should I have knocked earlier?"
"Mhm." You replied, biting your lower lip.
"Well, I'm right here, now. And I will guide you through all of it." She said, bopping her head, signaling you to mirror her movements, and you do.
"Are you gonna touch me?" You asked, needy.
"We'll see. If you're a good girl that follows mommy's orders, then maybe I'll consider it."
Her response made you feel ecstasy following around your body. Ready to follow any and all of Wanda's rules for her touch in reward.
"Now be a good girl and get comfortable." She stated as you suit yourself in bed."Nice, nice." She whispered. "Now, close your eyes-"
"But, I wanna see you, mommy." You whimpered, pouting.
"But, that's not mommy's orders. Now, close." She said as she leans in to close your lids with her index and middle finger.
You keep your eyes close as you stayed steady, waiting for her next instructions.
"Bring your hands up to your chest, and tease your nipples." You do as you are told. Your nipples erect at the sensitivity of it.
"Aww, so sensitive, aren't you?" She teased, seeing how fast your body reacted to your touch.
You nod in response. You continue to play around with your chest, while Wanda slowly moved her hand under her pants. Touching herself to the sight of you.
You took a peak at the redhead, seeing her enjoy herself while her eyes are closed to her own imagination. You took one of your hands off your chest, to which you slowly glided to your touch-starved center.
"Don't you dare continue what you're about to do." The witch exclaimed.
You jolted your hand away from your lower abdomen, staring at a furious witch, whose orders you just disobeyed.
"I-I'm sorry, mo- I ju-" You stuttered.
"You've been a bad girl. Disobeying mommy's orders, when I thought you of all people wouldn't even think about such a thing." She sinisterly laughed.
"I'm so-" You tried to apologize.
"Oh, no, detka, it's too late for that. It's time for punishment." She smirked.
Your thoughts were nothing but the idea of Wanda finally touching you. She opens your legs with her magic, and you roll your eyes at the sensation. She uses her scarlet powers to feel the wet dripping mess you are on the outside. You let out a moan at her sensation.
"Pl-please... mommy." You managed to let out.
"Do you want me inside of you, mhm? Want mommy to fill you up?" She mocked.
"Y-yes please."
"Yes, what? Come on, it seems like you're forgetting my name."
"Yes, please mommy." You let out in between moans.
"Since you've been naughty, mommy's not gonna touch you. In fact, I'll make you regret what you did, and teach you what happens to sluts that disobey their mommy." She taunted.
She inserts her scarlet magic inside of you, moving her left hand to the rhythm while the other was back under her pants.
You let out a moan at her sudden movement. Your back aching, toes curling, while your hands grip the sheets.
But, it didn't feel right. You felt something, but you also felt... nothing? It feels like something is touching you on the inside, but you couldn't really feel anything around you. This. This is the way of teaching you and making you regret disobeying her. The sensation of her touch, yet, also craving it, since she isn't really inside of you. How it aches between your legs, and how you crave her touch. For her to actually be inside of you.
You open your eyes, looking at Wanda with her mouth shaped like a small O with her eyes shut. You hesitate to disrupt her from her peak, but you couldn't help the feeling between your legs anymore.
"M-mommy..." You whispered. "Mommy..." You hesitated again.
"What is it, detka? You aren't supposed to be talking. Remember, you are being punished." She replied, breathless.
"I- I was just wondering if you could allow me to touch myself?" Your requested, head bow down while asking, ashamed of the question.
She opens her eyes. Her eyes became siren, staring back at you. She took her hand out of her pants, while she continues to do what she was doing with the powers in her mind. She crawls up to you and stops on your lower abdomen. She looks at what mess you've become between your legs, and then back up to you with a smirk. She moved her head in between your pussy and starts to talk.
"You wanna feel something inside you, mhm?" She asked, her facing your cunt. "Do you prefer mommy's fingers, mhm?" She teased.
The vibrations from her voice sent shock waves through your core and gave you goosebumps all over your body. You whimper then and there while she spoke.
"Mhm." You hum in response.
"Use your words, honey bun. I know that pretty little mouth of yours can do that, right?" Her Sokovian accent was taking control of her.
"I-I want you inside of me, please, mommy." You begged while you look down on her.
"Too bad. If you followed my rules, you would've been fucked right now to the point where you can't even stand up. This is what bad girls get when they don't follow the rules." She informed.
God, she wasn't kidding when she said you'd regret it. The fact that you would've been fucked by the Wanda Maximoff if you just kept your hands away from where it wasn't supposed to be.
She sat back up and made her way to the other end of the bed again. She continues to please you with her scarlet magic while you lay there as a moaning and whining mess.
She kept thrusting her magic in and out of you, and soon enough, you feel your peak reach.
''Mo-momm-'' You stuttered, eyes closed while you grip tightly on the sheets.
''Aww, is my baby gonna come? Hmm?'' She mocked.
You nod at her response, unable to utter words out of your mouth.
''C-can I?'' You asked politely. Hoping to get on her good side for her to allow you.
''Not just yet, you need to do something for mommy.'' She yet again took her hand off her pants and crawls up to you. ''Do you wanna come, baby?'' She cupped both your cheeks and you nod, eyes still closed. ''No. I want you to look at me and tell me.'' She demanded.
You slowly open your eyes and they gladly met hers. Her eyes, obviously filled with nothing but lust stared back at you.
''Yes, mommy. I wanna come. And I'll do anything!'' You exclaimed.
She hums at your eagerness and compliance and replied, ''Good girl, 'cause I need you to eat mommy out, okay? Can you eat mommy out?"' She cooed close to your face.
Your eyes widen at her request. You still can't process that she- Wanda Maximoff, your very very hot mentor that you've been attracted to since day one- wants you to eat. her. out. You thought that you wouldn't be able to touch her- or vice versa- since she was punishing you for being a bad girl, but turns out she might've just forgiven you.  ''Okay, mommy.'' You respond eagerly.
With the sway of her hands, her pants were thrown somewhere in the room, leaving her in her panties. She crawls up to you and situated herself in between your legs. You can see how wet she is through her panties. You teased her clothed clit, swirling your tongue around it, making her whimper.
"Enough teasing. I want you inside me." With the snap of her finger, her undergarment was nowhere to be found in front of you, leaving her bare with her glistening pussy ready to be eaten out. Your eyes widen at the view, unable to move a muscle.
"Well, come on, detka. Show mommy how much of a good girl you are." She demanded.
And with that being said, snapping you from what you should be doing, you slipped your tongue through her wet folds, getting a soft and low moan out of her. You moved your way up and down, teasing her clit, but not fully going through with it.
"Right there, right there." She repeats, almost out of breath.
You continued lapping on ber g-spot as she grinds closer to you. Her scarlet magic never leaving the presence of your own pussy, also driving you over the edge.
"'M so close, baby." She says in between moans.
You feel the knot on your stomach tighten, and you knew you were just as close as Wanda, but the leverage you had over her was: you know what'll make her come in an instant.
You swirled your way to her clit, and she was token back by your gesture. Hitting a spontaneous shock through her core, causing her to reach her peak.
"I'm gonna come, moya lyubov. Mommy's gonna come." She said, almost out of breath while she grinds herself onto your face.
"C-can I come too mommy?" You asked for permission.
"Yes, detka. Come with mommy." She allowed.
As she continues her scarlet motions into you and your gestures onto her, you both came undone with both the pleasurable look on your faces. You cleaned her up, slurping every drop of her release, as yours drip from the sides of your thighs and into your bedsheets.
"You did so well, malysh." She cooed, cupping your face from below her. Strands of hair touching your face.
"Anything for you, mommy." You replied, kissing her palm beside your face.
She smiled and gets off your shoulders. She dressed herself up while you watched her. You were still pretty groggy and unclear to what just happened, unable to utter anything.
She comes up to you and whispers in your ears, "You've been such a good girl for mommy. And this won't be the last. Next time, if you aren't gonna be too much of a needy whore again, mommy might just touch you herself." She cooed, tucking some strands of your hair back.
"Thank you, mommy. And I promise, I'll be good next time." You respond.
"Good. Because if you're still the needy whore you were earlier, I won't go easy on you. You get that?" She smirked, and you can feel it brush your ears.
"Y-yes, mommy." You giddily replied.
Wanda stood up and headed her way to the door. She pulls back up and says, "Oh, and don't forget to clean yourself up. We don't want that pretty pussy and bed of yours to be all dirty for our next time." She leaved off with a wink that left you in shambles.
You did as she told, cleaning yourself up. It was quite hard going back to sleep after such an interaction with your mentor, but after a while, you finally drifted off to sleep.
Waking up, you saw a care package placed on your chair. A dress from Wanda for you. You smile at the thought of her aftercare and what she could possibly do next as your relationship grows with her. But most importantly, how last night isn't the last and there will be next times for your mommy to treat you as her own, like you are.

Nerplex blocked me, here's the bean. Reblogs of blogger who nerplex didn't block
What did I do wrong? Telling you to sauce URL offends you?
Man, I'm gonna be canceled here. I guess this shall be the time we act now. Love you all, gamers, who still with me of course.
Wait!
It, gamers, if you're here, pls don't angry just yet. Actually, the story is funny. Uhh a blogger, nerplex yes, said your name and others, but without sauce URL. Plus that person blocked me and of course no reason given.
Look, I'm trying to save your clout... I mean make you popular! Idk what's the say here, point is, I want to be the good example of how to credit properly, when I am really lazy. Well very easy! As possible, attribute sauce URL! That's it at least.
Again, above picture's not mine, there's your sauce who drew this. You're welcome. You must act too, don't stay there! Spread that sauce to other friends!! I beg you. Artists deserves respect, and thefts (same reuploader but did not sauce URL) deserves.. You got the idea.
Here, my subsidiary are making changes, and they're in the process of spilling the bean. Actually this subsidiary was the outlying connector to one my division, Archive Division. Not to be confused with Archive.org, that's different story.
So from now on, if you see your art reuploaded here (even it's still live on the sauce), pls don't cancel me, I beg you. Look I promise I attach the sauce URL of it. even my own art, all has URLs to source SVG, Blend, etc. We are the company of Sauce, we want gamers to know where did you downloaded this file.
Okay, to disrespectful gamers. You. You block me, you left no choice. I wanted to reblog and that's it. I never wanted to talk to you, unless you asked for it, or whatever neverary. I just commented your post, And tried my best to not offend you in assumption of universal ethic settings as far as I know. If you had it here, we'll it's your fault. I wanted to reblog but [tumblr] says it's gone, and you're not deactivated. Peck you. I can't fathom why did you do that, when you could've only & exclusively block scam spam bots instead. Want to me stop? Just unblock me, and the trouble is over. That's all I want.
I don't know and I cannot know why I'm blocked coz that happens to be the social media common ethics (that's really flawed). So want it or not, blocking, ................ means provocation. Right?.. I.. Won't see why!! HUH?! If I was making social media, I make sure they tell the reason why. Oh, this account is scammer, so I may a look at it to confirm. Oh, I just hate this guy, and I can take a look at it and then... No, not ban. Maybe send that person to class idk. This is just concept, more need to design.
Ok back to you again. Yeah. I'm sorry. I lost all my sanity. Everyday, the world.. derails my mental condition, through this. Idk if they got hacked.. or just.. hate me?
yeah. idk anymore. what do you think?
Huh, Yeah?
isn't queen gambit method may cause trouble to yourself?
.. Who said I'm gonna often post that [tumblr] url here? Well.. perhaps I don't have to, instead. Scroll down. Ctrl + F keyword of "block". You'll see. Okay you may not see it now. Soon. and more soon.
.
That's all for today. I'm sorry if there is mistake or whatever wrong here. Got comment, let us know, idk.
Edit:
Being resolved
Update soon
Edit 2:
Failed
Pls do not bad against

picture only tangentially related ( and also i love hakon ), but venting / complaining about my frustrations and sadness with the recent dying light news under the cut, so please consider if that's something you want to see before clicking ( and don't say i didn't warn you after if you do decide to click it and then don't like what you read lol )
am i excited ? yes am i also frustrated and, honestly, kind of hurt ? yes every time i go anywhere that isn't tumblr that has any fandom for this series, all i ever see is " dying light 2 is trash " in various forms . every fucking time . and i'm tired . i'm so . fucking . tired . i wish they had just made this new dlc-turned-game as dl2 in the first place instead of wasting all of our time ( and theirs ) with the original dying light 2 . because honestly, what is even the point ? it has always felt like the majority of the ( vocal ) fanbase just wanted dl1 - 2 !, and the updates they push out for dl2 have often felt like they're trying to make dl2 more and more like dl1 - 2 !, and now with this " oh well the second dlc we were making grew legs and now is gonna be its own game featuring everyone's favorite kyle crane again actually, and no more dlc for dl2 " it's just like . why didn't they just do this in the first place ? why didn't they just make this as dl2, instead of making the original dl2 ? like what's the fucking point man . what's the fucking point . and tbh one of the most heart-breaking parts for me is that i'm excited for it still anyway - because i want to see more of the universe, because i love zombie stuff, because this series is so incredibly fun to play to me ( i have a lot of time in the two games together ), because i'm so excited to see the new parkour we'll get to do and the weapons and the scenery and because because because ! but it just feels like ... idk . you made this new game, these new characters, all this stuff and .... you just throw it away ? maybe there will be cameos, or we'll see aiden ( and maybe like . hakon ? maybe ? depending i guess on what ending is the " canon " ending for dl2 that they'll carry forward ) and get to interact with him or something but like . you don't even carry aiden forward as the protagonist ? just sorry we're done with him now, here's kyle again, remember him, you love him right ? right ? lol * heavy sighing * idk it just . it really bums me out . i know the fandom loves kyle, i get that . but i'm sad that the characters and everything in dl2 are just ... it feels like it's all just so disposable . it feels like techland doesn't care, or they caved to the vocal part of the fandom that just spends all their days bitching about how dl2 is the worst thing to ever exist, or idek and i'm sad . i'm just . i'm just fucking sad .

Keegan being a highschool bbg? Why not
HCS ?
Hair- feel like he didn't have a problem going full buzz because he already is half buzzed lol.
-One of the reasons as to why he would chose this hairstyle is probably because, one, he feels handsome (of course) and two, is because he doesn't like those bowl cuts or long hairs that would reach just even his neck, probably because it itches and he gets annoyed by it easily.
- He may also chosen his hairstyle is because he doesn't want to deal with greasy hair, especially because he sweats a lot at this age too.
- Ain't as hairy at this stage compared him now, though, I can see him admiring his chest and forearm hair as he grows, it's because it makes him feel strong and manly lol.
Body?- Speaking of manly, this boy doesn't go to the gym but man does he have some good biceps and forearms and more.... How? He helps around the house as often as he could, taking all the man job considering his mother was the only one around.
-he probably has a couple of ear piercing, a like to think he also has a tongue piercing too.
- He's 5'7 at this stage, 176 cm specifically. He's still growing, alright? Bbg became 180-something at 18 years old and kept growing lol
Life- just a typical highschool boy over here.
-I can't say he's failing his classes, though, I have a feeling he's between average or lower (sometimes).
-He's just a boy, I can say. He's pretty good with chemistry and PE I can say.
-Grew up with just his mother and his grandmother, who sadly passed away when he was around 12-13.
-He looks like a school jock or whatever but boy isn't. He's good, tho doesn't often show it around people. Trust me, If I say he's good, he is. If you ever bump into him, he'd probably pause for a moment before asking "You 'kay?". And won't say another word to you unless your friends .
-Smokes around alleys with his buddies after school. Became a habit since idk, probably in the 9th-11th grade.
-A cashier at some grocery store, he's good at counting cash. Even remember the prices.
-When he saw the opportunity to becoming a marine, boy did he not hesitate one bit about everything. Mainly because he wanted to earn more money for his mother, probably to put some purpose in his life too.
-Most of his money went to his mother to help her financially. When he got his first salary, the first thing that came to his mind was tell his mother and went out for a bit with her. But when he got more serious into his job, he often just sent half or less of the money to his mother, giving her some calls and ask how she was doing and if he could help with something. To which she'll say nothing much was going on, ask him hoe he was holding there, and tell him to be careful with his job
-Most of his friends went to the Navy's and some became a marine too, and Ajax was one of them.
-I can't really say that he and Ajax were besties in highschool, probably just some classmate until they got put into the same team when they first became a marine. Keegan was genuinely surprised that he became a marine like him, and Ajax felt the same. Then boom, besties.
(probably gonna update this later but we'll see. My English is crappy as ever, I know.)

Brief life update before I disappear into the void again. Nothing horsey, unfortunately.
Work is rough, got put in charge of a whole department again but it's not quite as stressful as last time. Still, my back is killing me and I need to get out of this trade sooner or later. I'm just casually looking for new opportunities rn, nothing urgent. I'd rather not upend my entire life again this soon. I didn't realise how stressed I'd gotten from moving so frequently, so staying in the same space and the same mediocre job for a year doesn't actually sound too bad. Idk if I'll go back to studying at some point, idk if I am made for the unstructured type of schedule that academia often brings with it. We'll see, I'm young, I've still got some time to sort things out.
Was in the czech rep again last week to visit some old friends. It was fantastic. Stopped by Franken in Germany on the way back and stayed at another friend's home for a while. I've found some people here who I really like, most of them are social workers for some reason. I was worried I wouldn't find friends here but four months after moving here I'm more socially active than ever. The single downside is that some of them seem to think that I need a parent. There's worse things than overprotective friends, I think. Got into a shit situation while out with them recently where I ended up getting assaulted (whoops) and they couldn't've reacted in a better way. Idk, they're just people I feel safe around.
I finally started doing more autobiographical writing again. Somehow, it's going well. I earned my first few bits of money with it. Not much, barely anything, but holy shit was I not expecting that. That's just neat. Anyways, that's it.

alright, max design pro lgbt headcanons be upon ye
i'm super willing to explain these or discuss about lgbt hcs whether my own or yours HOWEVER just pls be respectful about my hcs cuz i legit don't care if you have a problem with them lmao
max - transmasc, multigender of some kind (leaning towards bigender or genderfluid, either way he's both masc and fem lmao), objectum (attraction towards object, for him it leans more platonic and romantic), MLM gay. i imagine he struggles with figuring out platonic love and romantic love, and often confuses them.
twiddlemax - same as max.. for the most part. transmasc too technically, however falls more into genderless, unlabeled territory otherwise. WAY more objectum than max (he loves that chainsaw guys..), MLM gay too but is a LOT more confused about it than max, kinda unknown if he actually romantically loves nugget or if nugget is just a person of interest for him. will probably develop his own identity more after the end of twiddlefinger saga, we'll see tho.
jimmy - since he's still pretty young i think his identity will change as he grows up but for the moment i think he'd identify as cishet. maybe cis, aroace. but i just kinda hc kid characters as aroace anyway.
hope - bisexual. deal with it LMAO. also demigirl. actually specifically biromantic asexual, leaning more towards those that are fem or neutral-aligned.
jeff and martha - uhmmmm hcing both as pansexual that's about it. also polyamorous. why not ya know.
nugget - transmasc and bisexual pretty much. i think also partly demiromantic. actually nah he's demiromantic lmao
nuggette - lesbian, thought she was het for a bit until after she broke up with nugget. ALSO transfem.
tyler - same deal as jimmy still too young to really decide
angus - demiboy, and i keep flip-flopping between gay and demi / aro. idk he's on that line. also love the hc he goes by two names he definitely also goes by josh
polo - nonbinary, perfectly fine with presenting as masc and being referred to with masc OR fem terms, but he's still straight up nonbinary. also pansexual
billy/ollie - like angus also goes by two names, i think he's so used to being dehumanized it kinda has affected how he sees his gender but idk what, but either way is okay identifying as whatever. really just unlabeled tbh, he is what he is and loves whoever, it don't matter.
duncan - honestly love the transfem hcs i've been seeing but just like the other kid i haven't really put that much thought into his Current identity. he'd probably be too scared to explore it rn anyway in fear of his parent(s)'s reaction.
and that's really all the ones i've thought of, this may get updated tho lmaolmao

Fic Writer Interview
My lovely friend @sheepwithspecs tagged me here, and I will spread this by tagging @yellowsalt3 @linnorabeifong @vr-tb @chiefbeifongcanrailme
1. How many works do you have on ao3? 14!
2. What's your total ao3 word count? 414,633
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Choices, Chances, Changes
You Are My Life
Talking to the Moon
The Other Side of Heaven
Lay All Your Love on Me
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I definitely try to respond to comments! The fact that someone spent time and energy to comment means so much to me, and I want to acknowledge that. I'm not the best at leaving comments, but I'm trying to do it more often as a reader bc I, too, am often dying at how awesome fics are
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
It's probably Meant To Be. Now that I think about it, I might write an extra piece for this fic just bc I feel like being salty lol
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
The Only Light We'll See - The whole fic was just an excuse to write steamy, smutty Linzin and let them have a happy life together. I guess you could argue that the main Linzin and family AU I write could also be one of them, but I haven't completed their story yet in this universe. Tbf, I don't think my Linzin AU has an "ending" but whatever happens, Linzin gets their happy ever after
7. Do you write crossovers?
Right now, I don't. But I was more open to writing crossovers when I was a kid.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I haven't thankfully, I have really awesome and sweet and kind-hearted readers in my circle 💞
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Hell yeah, I fucking do! It's prob one of my fav things to write 😂 Idk what they mean by "what kind" but I've written possessive, romantic and loving, quickies, foreplay, first times, and spontaneous stuff. It's fun and my otps tend to be...super horny vibes
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I haven't, but I would be interested in seeing one of my fics translated!
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes! It's Come As You Are with picajc and @alemanriq, and this holds a special place in my heart
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
404 error. I have too many, but for now it's Lin/Tenzin
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Probably Olvídame y Pega La Vuelta just bc I lost the vision for it
15. What are your writing strengths?
I think emotions are a big part of my writing process and it comes through in my fics. I channel my own emotions into my writing and it does leave a more profound impression.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Sometimes I want my writing perfect in the first draft, and it stops me from just enjoying the process. Recently, I've been wanting to write and that has manifested into writing for "results" rather than quality. I mean, I still try to write my best and for the fun of it. It's just that work sucks my energy and the time I have left for myself is recharging 😭
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I need more context with this question. Does this mean if I do something like this:
Lin and Tenzin raised their brows at the girl with the electronic device.
"어머, 죽겠다! 린베이퐁과 텐진 진짜 앞에 있다," she said aloud, though the language is not her mother tongue. "어떡해...인스타로 올리겠지"
In general, I would be open to it because it can open up new pathways for writing
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Meet The Robinsons
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
I don't think I have one. For the most part, if I want to write for a fandom, I just do it lol
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Choices, Chances, Changes. I swear a divine force guided me into writing this bc I was so compelled to bring it to life. The updates were posted every few days, and the story was completely written in 6 months.
There were 21 chapters.
Also, it was the first fic I completed in like 14 years (omg I sound old now 💀)
Thanks @sheepwithspecs for tagging me! 💜

Well, it looks like Tumblr is officially going down the drain. Not today, but someday relatively soon.
This is one part me reminding myself to tell you that I'm on a bunch of other sites under the same name - twitter i'm oozeandgoo_art, not that anyone wants to use twitter, but on bluesky i'm also oozeandgoo-art. we'll see how much uploading i get done over there, i'm working on posting everything i got but i'm not being super professional about it yet because i didn't feel like it. I also have a telegram channel that posts updates at https://t.me/oozeandgooart . i can't remember what other sites i'm on right this second.
that being said, I don't like to be beholden to social medias and platforms! I've mentioned thinking about it before, but I think I'm going to get more serious about it - if I were to start up an email chain where I basically just send the art I've finished to everyone in the chain, would anyone find that more amenable than going hunting across platforms?
I know I greatly enjoy getting weird robot stuff in my emails, but I'm not sure that holds true for everyone. Hating emails is like a whole meme on here; my irl friends make fun of me (lovingly) for how often i delightedly check my email to see if there's anything new in it. So I am given to understand that the concept of an email every time I draw something may come over very differently for those of you who don't share my rosy outlook on things.
(If you're worried about, like, getting porn in your email when you don't want it, or gore, or etc, I'm going to try and set up multiple "levels" of email list and take people out for certain kinds of content. Or something like that idk. I love filtering things and I love not looking at certain characters and I want to give you all as much freedom as possible, that's just a later step)
Naturally Tumblr isn't going down the drain today, so there's time, but I want to be able to get you all before anything else changes.

Hi!! (sorry for the anon I'm paranoid lol) I was one of those sad anon asks you've gotten 2 years ago, one of those who were at their lowest point and didn't really know how long they could continue. I just wanted to say a very belated big thank you for the kind words back then. Life has changed for the better for me; after almost 30 years of being miserable I'm finally in the first real, stable relationship I've ever had, we'll be celebrating our 2 year anniversary next month! I've also found a really cool therapist and have been in therapy for over a year now which is also a first! And I'm finally receiving other official supports which were desperately needed. And I'm in a safe and overall welcoming living situation with my s/o. AND our cat (which used to be my closest friend back then haha) is healthy. So that's a whole lot of positive changes/news! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope the next months are kind to you!! <3 (or... at least a restful sleep? Idk what to wish aaaaa-)
Tumblr media
Hello dear Spirit, thank you for this wonderful update! I may not know you are specifically but I do remember one very sad spirit from that time and I often wondered how they were. It can be hard only being around for one month, as I never really know what or who I might see upon my return! All the same, its so wonderful to hear that things have really turned around for you. Its not always easy to ask for help, and it must have been a very hard journey for you, and im sure there were many points were you had wanted to give up. I am so glad you didnt. There is a saying of "You are stronger than you realize" and I think that applies very well to you here. It was a tough time, and you pulled through to see that there are much brighter and wonderful things waiting for you. I am so proud to see you here once more. Thank you for being able to visit me again. 🤍🖤🧡🕯️

I dont even think the tag is dead at all tbh. We were really spoiled last summer with 2k post per day, and something crazy happening everyday like Mikhailgate, scriptgate, sock anon or people impersonating Ross duffer, but if you check most tags on this app, that's rarely the case. The thing is, it's been a year since season 4 came out and we're still getting around 300 posts per day and I need people to realise how crazy that is. Before season 4 the tag had like 5 k followers and there could be days without a single post. The fact that it's been a year and we still surpass 200 posts, AND we've already made it through the most content drought phase of the hiatus (since filming is about to begin and we'll increase the daily posts again) is crazy. This tag is still very much active, even for a show that hasn't released any new content for a year. And also AO3 is still active. The fact that for a whole year, there's been writers who still update fics or create new ones everyday is something I'm not used to coming from other smaller fandoms.
I get it's a bit more boring right now and we are looking back to the may-august craze, but we've already made it through the worst and we only need to hold on for one more month
This is definitely the best way to look at it!
I think I’m also maybe sad bc a lot of familiar faces aren’t as active, like some folks I remember seeing daily are gone. Which is fine!
And even despite that you’ll see posts in the tag get like hundreds of likes, so there are definitely a lot of people still lurking just not posting. Which is also fine!
It’s so true though that we are a lot more active than we realize.
Tumblr in general I used to think of as like a no man’s land pre-s4 bc it tends to really only be active in specific fandoms where like the unity is on point bc the content is just rolling in.
So many fandoms reside here at a point, but dwindle over time, and I feel like we are very fortunate to have made a big space here bc it is a cool platform when you have a lot of people that like a certain thing and want to talk about it.
And we’re fortunate enough to be so massive and not only that but this is sort of just the beginning. Imagine how many followers we’ll gain leading up to s5, during and after…? Or the aftermath of people coming here to look at theories and be like YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT! All the queer fans who kind of talked down on us (understandably) for potentially falling for queerbait, joining in and being like wow this is surreal, it finally happened. It’s going to be magical.
For now I guess it just makes me wonder if I should take a break too?? Like seeing yourself over and over in the tag is almost a wake up call that I should step back like everyone else is for the time being? Bc like idk if it’s maybe annoying to see the same person over and over? Or if it’s just the reminder of how inactive things are and that’s what makes people step back too?
Not even a bad thing necessarily like you said, bc this is still an unprecedented case of a fandom being quite active despite the circumstances.
Honestly though, even if there isn’t much news going into May and in the couple months after it, beyond like the bare minimum of what we’re expecting, I’ll try to embrace it and maybe step back or even focus on more detailed posts instead of the day to day fodder.
I also hate myself for this, but I rarely go in the top posts tag??? I’m always like living in the recent posts part of it and that’s probably also the problem 😭
So reminder to anyone that’s like me who does the same, we gotta support more of us that have top posts too bc I will literally remember the top posts exists, go there, find absolute gems (obviously it’s top posts???) and then be like why the fuck don’t I come here more often??? That’s another way I could probably curb my disappointment about us not being as active as I’m used to. And it’s super simple.
There’s a lot of stuff like that I could do better at to contribute to the solution of this being a better experience for myself and other still active on here!
Thanks for the pep talk anón 😇🙏

thai language study update
It's been two years today since I first started watching a Thai show, the first time I wittingly exposed myself to the language at length. Two years ago, I'm pretty sure I would not have been able to pick Thai out of a line-up with other Southeast Asian languages. A few day from now, it'll be two years since I thought "I'll note down words I catch, phonetically, best I can. Just for fun." About a month from now, it'll be two years that I started to learn the language in earnest.
Where am I at?
Listening comprehension: I can follow most shows that are set in the present day without subtitles, provided they a) deal with everyday topics rather than specialised ones (Chaan's legalese is lost on me; I still don't fully follow the legal and ethical debates between the friends in Not Me, never mind the medical jargon in shows like Triage) and b) use modern-day Central Thai (you may have seen my crying about คำเมือง /kʰam mɯːaŋ/ here). Of course I don't understand even close to everything -- maybe 70% on a good day? but I tend to get enough not end up completely confused.
Reading comprehension: Handwriting and less common fonts still challenge me a lot, regular print fonts tend to be fine. Song lyrics tend to be fine unless they're very poetic (hi กีดกัน/Skyline). Tweets tend to be okay, but it heavily depends on the subject matter (politics or economics? help.), how much context I know, and how much slang or cute/funny spelling variants people use. I can read short news articles, but depending on the topic it'll be either slow or agonisingly slow and require extensive dictionary help, and I might still get things wrong. Not something I do for fun yet. I've started on the novel The Eclipse was based on (too difficult still) and a few short stories (somewhat easier) and realised that the big downside of mainly learning through shows and audio (interviews …) is that it leaves me sorely deficient when it comes to vocabulary that describes people or actions. Hardly anyone says "Getting frustrated, he tossed a book onto his desk, where a couple of other textbooks and notepads already formed a messy pile" or, idk, describes clothing at length in a show.
Writing: so-so. It's legible, I have the writing system down sufficiently to take notes at speed most of the time, but I second-guess myself too much. Should I be doing more of this for practice? probably.
Speaking: eeeeh. I do NOT have the vocabulary or grammatical knowledge to sound smart or coherent yet, and my pronunciation is middling at best. Speaking is also the area where I struggle most to get practice. That said, I can hold a conversation as long as my interlocutor is willing to help out a little (by helping out with vocab and/or accepting that sometimes we'll have to guess at what the other is saying). I can make myself understood on a good number of topics of daily interest in my daily life—often by going the long way around and trying to describe things or actions I don't have the words for.
I'm still really enjoying myself. I got to go to Thailand for a little over two weeks earlier this year and that was a huge boost, both in terms of confidence and in actual speaking ability. Main goal for the next 12 months is to expand vocabulary (both active and passive), and if everything goes my way I'll be going to Thailand for another two weeks or so to actually use my Thai. We'll see.
