#its not the best

[lyss-sketchbox]

Very aggressive take but if you think Genshin should've won best mobile game and not Balatro and your argument is 'It's a free game' I wish you a very happy stockholm syndrome recovery.

You people know hoyo games are only up there because people want the free pulls and not because it's genuinely the best.

DYING to know about the 11th hour AU 😬

Okay SO. essentially this is a vaguely medieval royalty au. Katniss and Peeta were betrothed at the age of 5 years old and became good childhood friends, with Peeta visiting her family at their countryside castle every summer for 7 years, until Katniss' father was killed in the woods and a war broke out between their two nations. Jump to 5 years later, the war is over and as a show of peace and unity, their betrothal is back on! Except Katniss hates him now.

Blah blah blah, all this middle stuff, they become friends again and start falling in love. Then a secret plot is revealed, then another secret plot that sort of ruins the other secret plot, and if anyone finds out that they know, they're dead. So they make plans to escape together come spring, but Katniss "can't lie to save her life" of Everdeen accidentally lets on that they plan to leave. So they have to escape in the dead of night in the middle of winter. They're pursued, Peeta sacrifices himself so she can get away, kills a royal soldier in the process, and is captured.

Since this is medieval times, the punishment for trying to run away is his leg being sawn off. Yeowch. But since he killed a soldier, he is set to be executed. And then, well, the drawing happens.

Idk if you're still on the bus but if you are then write what if Quark was the bus driver

"OK so explain to me why exactly I have to drive a 21st century transportation vehicle, we have shuttles? And what does this have to do with a children's song?"

"Wheels on the bus was a popular kids song in this century and also I can't really think of anything else to do while babysitting Yoshi. This was pretty short notice."

"But Julian, why do I need to be the one driving??"

"Because you seem like you'd drive a bus. Yoshi come on aboard."

Stepping onto the big yellow bus, Yoshi took a curious look around and headed towards one of the many open seats.

"Next stop" said Julian's cheerful voice, " school"

The wheels started to turn and a song starts to play that captures Yoshi's attention.

"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round. All through the town"

"Can we pleassseee stopppp?" Quark whines, his hands fumbling over the steering wheel.

"Not until the O'Brian's are done with their date. They rarely get time by themselves."

"Miles better pay back at least half of his tab after this."

After a few more replays of the song, Yoshi starts to sing along.

"Da wees on da bus go wownd and wownd, wownd and wownd, wownd and wownd. Da wees on da bus go wownd and wownd. All twough da town"

"Julian, please. You have to be getting annoyed at this too."

"Of course I am quark" his voice a whisper yell at this point, " But miles and Keiko need a break and I'm not gonna be the one to ruin it for them"

Thankfully for both of their sakes, miles and keiko walk in a few minutes later, happiness radiating off of them from their date.

"MAMA!! DADDA!!" The screams echoing off the holodeck walls.

"Hi baby, how'd you enjoy the bus?"

"It was gweat and da weels went wownd and wownd and wownd"

"Awww thats fantastic sweetie"

Meanwhile quark and Julian turned the holodeck system off as fast as possible and vowed to never use it again. If anyone asks, it started malfunctioning.

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

me: ok just 9 chapters of this book for english. it looks kind of underwhelming but ok. how bad could this be

also me: *literally in tears at chapter 7*

[inbabylontheywept]

i once accidentally dated someone for a few months. its very difficult to explain how this happened, but the gist is that i thought we were hanging out, and she thought we were on dates, and it was just a very painfully highschool thing.

she was a little bit confused that i hadnt tried to pull any moves, at all, even a little. like, didnt even try holding hands because, and i cannot emphasize this enough, i did not know we were dating.

so, halloween rolled around, and she thought, you know, why wait for destiny, when you can grab it? so she hit me with a clue by four.

babylon, she said. babylon. my mom's gonna be out of town on halloween, and im gonna have the house to myself, and it's going to be kind of lonely. would you like to come to my house and watch scary movies with me?

you know, kind of a netflix and chill thing. except, and i cannot emphasize this enough, i did not know we were dating. also autism. so i took it at face value and said: oh! yeah! thatd be fun! and she thought she got her point across, but she didnt and it was a mess.

skip forward to halloween: my family has a block party every year, right? and at that point i was too old to really trick or treat, but we still wore costumes for our role in the block party, which in my case, was handing out cotton candy. so i took the first shift, and my costume was this homemade abomination minion thing. i had full yellow body paint, and goggles, and a bald cap, and overalls. the kids who saw it were like, uh, hm. overly realistic minion. and adults were like, oh, some kind of hills have eyes hillbilly with jaundice. very scary.

(it was not my best costume.)

my little brother swapped me out for second shift, and i was getting ready to change out to head to her house when i was like: no, she'll get a real kick out of this. this is one of the worst things i have ever worn. so i kept it on and just brought a change of clothes thinking i could shower real quick and change at her place after she saw my nightmare getup.

so i left after that, got there, knocked on her door, and she said come on in. so i went in, and there was this very long hall with an abrupt right turn into her living room where the tv was, and i went down the hall, and i made the turn, and my field of view went from beige drywal to her, on the couch, naked. naked in the paint me like one of your french girls pose. super naked.

i panicked. this was my first time seeing a real person like, full on sex naked,which is a totally different beast from other kinds of naked. you see one kind of naked and you think yeah, im ready for all the kinds of naked, but you arent. i wasnt at least. i really wasn't.

so my brain crashed to BIOS. she also crashed to BIOS, but for different reasons. of all the ways this could have turned me, having me show up in yellow body paint and overalls was pretty pretty low down the list.

so we sat there a while, and you know, she wasn't getting any less naked, which really wasn't helping me get my brain sorted out. it really wasnt much of a surprise when she got her bearings first and started asking questions.

"babylon," she said. "babylon. what are you wearing?"

and i was like, kind of rebooted, but i was nowhere near full functionality, so symbolic language wasnt loaded in yet. i had nothing running but my trusty autism.exe, so i said

"overalls"

and she looked at me like i was the dumbest person in the entire world, and i looked at her like she was the first naked person i had seen in real life who got naked specifically for me, and my upper level cognitive process went: "listen man, we are not going to get our shit together as long as 80% of your brain power is devoted to not blinking. you gotta get out of here."

and if id communicated that, maybe things would have been less of a mess, but instead i just kind of turned around and walked back to my car. i figured i could drive a few loops around the block, get my brain in order, and figure out what the hell we were gonna do.

the only thing i had said to her since arriving was, again, overalls.

first loop around, i was like: oh god fucking damnit. oh shit. oh shit. shes gonna get like, an eating disorder from this. oh no.

second loop around i was like: oh NOOOOO oh WHAT THE FUCK oh SWEET JESUS PLEASE. i dont wanna go back man. i just wanna bury this and forget about it. please. please. let this bitter cup pass from my lips.

and after my third loop, i went and i knocked on her door again.

she answered it this time, and i counted my lucky stars that she'd changed into some pajamas. she was all teary eyed which was the saddest thing ever, and we sat down in her kitchen and talked. it was pretty bad - i figured out we'd been dating, and she figured out that trying to jump from home plate to 3rd base is considered ballsy in baseball, least of all dating. no real winners there. and i can remember after all that, we sat there a bit a bit longer, just steadying ourselves, and i was like "well, im actually really glad we figured that out. guess i'll see you at school tomorow' and she said "WAIT. wait."

"lets watch shrek 2."

so we did and it was horrible. we did not look at each other. we did not say a word. we just sat in stony silence, while shrek 2 played in the background, and when it was done we shook hands. i think we might have been able to salvage that as a friendship if it hadnt been for shrek. as it was she turned white as a sheet and ran away every time she even got a glimpse of me at school, and that summer she moved to a new state to live with her dad. all her friends said she moved just so she wouldn't have to go to school with me anymore, and i dont actually think they were lying.

every time i hear relationship counselors talk about how important communication is, and i'm tempted to roll my eyes, i look back and go, alright. alright. theres probably some poor bastard, somewhere in the world, who doesnt even know that hes married.

and god help him when he figures it out.

other bad dating story here.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
