Hogtober, Day 17: Goblins

Lodgok 💔

Damien released a bitter, humorless laugh. He started pacing on the narrow stair he was standing on, an uneasy task given its limited space. He looked quite ridiculous. Sebastian nearly laughed at the absurdity of this whole situation, but somehow managed to hold back. As Damien continued speaking, his words carried a mix of resignation and defiance. "Fine. I wasn't going to tell you, but maybe I should. I'm no longer friends with a goblin because Lodgok's dead. Ranrok murdered him in front of me."

Sebastian's entire body froze, and his face slackened. Oh. "What? When did that happen?" he managed to choke out.

"Why does it matter to you? You made it very clear to me that you despise all goblins."

"It does matter to me. I'm..." Sebastian struggled to find the right words, but before he could gather himself, Damien interjected once more.

"You're...what? Sorry? I find that hard to believe. Relieved? That sounds more like you."

Sebastian winced. He hadn't expected Damien to be capable of delivering words that could cut so deeply. "Do you really think I'm that heartless?"

A resigned sigh escaped Damien's lips. "I'm not sure what to think. I'd like to think you care."

"I do," Sebastian replied earnestly. Yet, he still couldn't find the words to say how he felt. He did know that he didn't like to see Damien this upset. And he was sorry Damien lost a friend. He needed to fix this.

[scrolling through a fandom tag] wrong. wrong. incomprehensibly wrong. wrong but harmless. nice style and color palette but I don't care about that ship. mildly entertaining liveblog update. they whitewashed my girl :( . good joke, reblog. wro--well that's my mutual so I will politely look away. fifteen posts in a row by an innocent rp blog that I don't have the heart to block. take I agree with but op was annoying about it. chapter twenty-eight of a longfic wip. !! GOOD POST !!, instafollowed. bot. technically correctly tagged but uses this acronym for something completely different. museum worthy art piece by a sixteen-year-old from the philippines. wrong. wrong but in a new and exciting way that provokes thought.

Taken in 2000 about a year into our relationship.

Taken in 2024 (last weekend). Didn’t quite get the pose or positioning right, but hey, we’re older and our memory ain’t what it used to be!

If life is a never ending loop of dirty dishes and laundry then that means life is a never ending loop of home cooked meals and comfy clean clothes

My friends who have never experienced flooding, and who are about to deal with it from this storm, please remember:

1. NO. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THAT WATER ON THE ROAD. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING. TURN. AROUND.

2. DO NOT GO WADING THROUGH THE WATER. EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP IT IS. THAT. WATER. IS. CONTAMINATED.

3. IT IS CALLED FLASH FLOODING FOR A REASON. THE WATER RISES AND SURGES IN A FLASH. STAY. HOME.

4. If you're at risk of flooding, raise up any of your belongings now. Put the legs of tall things in buckets. Know where your important documents are.

5. Stay safe.

the real danger of spending too much time with friends is you stumble out of ten days of happiness and good food like oh my god THAT was real life. my job means NOTHING

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way
