This is for all my fellow Veggietales fans out there. We all remember that one segment of the show. “And now it’s time for Silly Songs with Larry. The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.” There have been plenty of these silly songs over the years, some better than others, but which one was your favorite? Which one do you look back on the most fondly if I missed one on the list, please list yours in a comment or re-blog

Day Ten: Damon Salvatore + Praising

Damon pushed you down to the bed. The back of your knees had only hit the bed sheets for a moment. Your clothes are thrown in a mixture on the floor. A heated agruement had turned into this and that was just a normal for the two of you.

Damon loved you. He really did but he only knew how to show it in a few ways. This way, the aqressive love making way was always the best. Jeans, shirts, and panties laid on the hardwood floor. A trail of your hot and messy kisses that had led both you to the bed.

Your chest was heavy as your tried to catch your breath. The hot make-out session that guided the two of you up the stairs was still in the back of your head.

Damon kissed up your thighs sweetly. Murmuring words into your skin that you couldn't hear, nor understand. The once cold sheets grew hot underneath your body, and as your tired to get comfortable agasint the bed.

Damon pulled you to the edge of the bed. Your knees hanging over Damons shoulders. The direct eye contact with Damon sending you over an edge you almost always forgot happened. "You gonna look at me the entire time sweet pea."

His words were less question, and more demand. You swallowed hard, and nodded your head. "Good girl." Damon murmured agasint your hot skin, as he took the first dive into your wet pussy.

He was slow at first. Giving kitten licks to your entrance, and then sucking gently on your clit. All while his hands held down your hips to keep you from trying to get more friction.

"Such a good girl," Damon murmured as he pressed wet, sloppy kisses into your thighs. "You always taste so fucking good baby." Damon says as his thumbs rubs soft circles into your hip bone.

Your hands gripped the sheets tightly, and no matter how much you wanted to take your eyes off of Damon. Squeeze them tightly, you didn't

Blue lustfilled eyes staring right back at you. It did something to you. No matter where you were. Here in the bedroom, at a special event for the town of Mystic Falls, or just at home. Damons eyes were always on you, and it always made your knees weak.

A long, whiney moan left your lips as you felt Damons tongue flick over your clit, and play at your pussy. Head falling back onto the soft pillows. Damon tortured you for what felt like forever.

His nose nudging into your clit ever so softly. "Look at me baby… you gotta look at me if you want me to continue." He says his lips are red, and swollen.

"Fuck… I'll look at you… just don't stop… Please Damon just don't…" Your prayers were answered when Damon slipped his tongue back in to devour you some more.

One of your hands leaving the sheets of the bed, and gripping in his short black hair. Youu wanted the friction desperatly and as long as you kept looking he'd give it to you. He'd give you anything you wanted.

"That's it use me baby, use my face to make you cum." Damon words were slurred ever so slightly. "Fuck!" You screamed out, your voice echoing in the empty room. Your grip grew tighter and then you relased him. You were on clound nine, and as Damon contiuned to give soft kitten licks to your clit. "Such a pretty girl when you come all over my face." Damon muttered before climbing up your body and kissing you deeply.

The Vampires Diaries // Kinktober '23

[lesorciercanadien]

Folk Ways for an Acadian or French Canadian folk practitioner -The Heavens

Here are some Acadian folk beliefs tied to the skies and its celestial bodies. It is to note that Acadians lived by the tides of the ocean, and that these would create all kinds of folk sayings. The high times of the universe "les temps forts" were when powerful things could happen, such as when the moon was at its fullest and the tide at its highest (a child born at that time would be destined to become physically strong), or the night would be at its absolute darkest (when "revenants" or deadwalkers/ghosts were known to visit their family homes.)

*My painting of the Virgin Mary is in progress meanwhile.*

The Moon

When the moon is full, it's an opportune time to cut hair (it will grow back thicker), to slaughter pork (it will sell at a profit), and to split firewood (it will give off more heat), and to prune onion shoots (they will grow more full).

When the moon wanes, especially in the month of March, wood cut to make fences will not rot. It is also the best phase to sow root vegetable seeds, such as carrots. Wood cut to make sled runners need to be cut during this phase.

When the moon waxes, you must sow the other vegetables (tomatoes, peas, beans) and grain crops (wheat, barley). This phase is reputedly so strong, it can turn a post into a tree.

When the moon is new, if the horns of the moon point upwards, it won't rain, since you can hang a bucket on its horns. If the horns are pointing down, it's a sign of bad weather ahead. This is an awful rime to cut your hair, as the hair will grow too quickly.

The Stars

It is optimal to plant your garden the day after a particularly starry night.

When the stars are "creuses", or not many in the sky, it announces cold weather for the next day.

A Cappella at the Rock (Newtown, PA) — VoicePlay live performances

The annual pop a cappella festival at Council Rock High School North consists of a day of workshops and master classes, followed by an evening competition, then a concert from a professional group that includes a special group number with all the students. In 2017, the featured professionals were VoicePlay (with Erik Winger as their substitute baritone). This event was the middle of a whirlwind weekend for the guys, but they always enjoy doing educational outreach.

NOTE: The video quality for most of these recordings isn't great because the audience member was trying to be discreet and respectful of their neighbors. The audio is okay, though.

.

This clip is missing the very beginning of the song and a view of the guys, but you can definitely hear them.

Details:

title: Ride

original performers: Twenty One Pilots

written by: Tyler Joseph

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 1 April 2017

My favorite bits:

Eli, Earl, and Winger pulling off that fast harmonized patter live

that rapid-fire percussion Layne does behind ♫ "bullets coming through" ♫

Geoff wandering into the basement on ♫ "I'm falling sooooo" ♫

the gradual layering in the bridge

Eli's big old belts in the last section

Trivia:

This arrangement was originally the third video in their PartWork series, with just Eli, Geoff, and Layne covering all five parts.

.

The videographer managed to get a view of the stage in this one, albeit upside-down. The guys still sound as fantastic as always.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 – Broadway

original songs: [0:07] "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" from Avenue Q; [0:35] "Sherry" from Jersey Boys; [0:50] "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast; [1:14] "Seasons of Love" from Rent; [1:33] "Master of the House" from Les Miserables; [1:50] "All That Jazz" from Chicago; [2:11] "He Lives In You" from The Lion King; [2:28] "Popular" from Wicked; [2:50] gentle mockery of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark; [2:53] "Phantom of the Opera" from Phantom of the Opera; [3:18] "Hello!" from The Book of Mormon

arranged by: Layne Stein & Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 1 April 2017

My favorite bits:

Layne's fun scampering percussion run at the end of Avenue Q

Winger and Eli doing their villager voices in "Belle"

the rising crescendo in "Seasons of Love"

the Spider-Man gag

Geoff's growled drop in "Phantom"

that big final ♫ "Hellooooo!" ♫

Trivia:

The guys recorded their video for this medley in September 2014, and performed it on the 2015 Sing-Off tour the following spring.

.

Although the view is peeking between other audience members, you can still see a bit of the guys' antics during this romp through nonsense lyrics and phonations.

Details:

title: A Crimpella

original songs / performers: [0:55] "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was); [1:11] "Witch Doctor" by Alvin & the Chipmunks; [1:19] "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; [1:23] "We Go Together" from Grease!; [1:30] “Motownphilly” by Boyz II Men; [1:38] "Imma Be" by the Black Eyed Peas; [1:46] "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard; [1:49] "Shoop" by Salt N Pepa; [1:53] "Jock-A-Mo" (aka "Iko Iko") by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford; [2:03] "Mahna Mahna" from The Muppet Show; [2:14] "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" by Journey; [2:38] "Goofy Goober Rock" from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie; [2:41] "MMMBop" by Hanson; [2:53] "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede; [2:57] "Bawitdaba" by Kid Rock; [3:02] "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" by Neil Sedaka; [3:10] "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen; [3:25] "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga; [3:30] "Can't Get You Outta My Head" by Kylie Minogue;[3:36] "Limbo La La" by James Lloyd; [3:40] "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie; [3:57] "Wanna Be Starting Something" by Michael Jackson; [4:04] "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam

My favorite bits:

Geoff's extensive list of social media accounts before they start singing (and whoever clucks)

Eli getting launched into the air

the audience joining in with Winger before the rest of the guys return to their mics

using the final ♫ "Good-byyyyye" ♫ as their exit line

Trivia:

This medley was one of the earliest videos on their YouTube channel, and a staple of their live shows for many years.

.

For the final number of the night, the guys were joined on stage by the student groups to create an ocean of sound. (And this videographer was much less shy about capturing it for posterity.)

Details:

arranged by: Layne Stein & Geoff Castellucci

performance date: 1 April 2017

My favorite bits:

all the kids dancing and connecting with each other

the guys turning around and dropping out during "on and on" to let the chorus shine

Earl's opt-up at the end of ♫ "searching" ♫

the layering of the polyphony section

Trivia:

This song has been part of their catalog since their 4:2:Five days. The earliest concert performance I've found is from a 2009 benefit concert at the University of Rochester.

They finally recorded a video for it when they were the featured artists at Camp A Cappella 2016.

This video was originally posted to Facebook by one of the parents of a student at Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, PA.

Duty Free Quick Takes

smelled on the strip, not on me

Hermes Jour d'Hermes

Nose: Jean-Claude Ellena

notes: grapefruit, lemon, water; white flowers, gardenia, sweet pea; musk, woody notes

a rather unfriendly fancy-hotel-soap scent in a chilly aquatic-fruity style; nice enough but doesn't spark joy.

CK One

Nose: Alberto Morillas

notes: lemon, green notes, bergamot, pineapple, mandarin, cardamom, papaya; lily of the valley, jasmine, violet, nutmeg, rose, iris, freesia; green accord, musk, cedar, sandalwood, oakmoss, green tea, amber

Surprisingly musky! A nice contrast between unisex citrusy-green freshness and something a bit dustier or sweatier.

CK IN2U For Her

Notes: pink grapefruit, bergamot, currant leaf; cactus, orchid; vanilla, cedar, amber

Painfully screechy chemicals and cloying sweetness and unpleasant "choking" musks? Wow.

CK Be

Nose: Rene Morgenthaler

Notes: lavender, green notes, bergamot, mint, juniper, mandarin orange; grass, peach, jasmine, freesia, magnolia, orchid; musk, sandalwood, cedar, vanilla, amber, opoponax

A very simple but peaceful "clean green" synthetic scent, like a single gong ringing out into a quiet evening.

YSL Paris

Nose: Sophia Grojsman

notes: rose, mimosa, hyacinth, geranium, green notes, nasturtium, orange blossom, hawthorn, cassia, bergamot; violet, lily, linden, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, iris; musk, heliotrope, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber, cedar

A delicate, baby-blue, powdery violet with other soapy florals. Not nearly as loud or sweet as I expected from descriptions; more of a clean ladylike scent.

Davidoff Cool Water

Nose: Pierre Bourdon

notes: sea water, lavender, mint, green notes, rosemary, calone, coriander; sandalwood, neroli, geranium, jasmine; musk, oakmoss, tobacco, cedar, amber

This is the OG aquatic scent and it's still startling how happy a smell it is and how it does right what countless imitators get wrong. Crisp, masculine, with a bit of tart fruit, it basically smells like the world's cleanest, most invigorating shower.

Armani Stronger With You

Nose: Cecile Matton

notes: cardamom, pink pepper, violet leaf, mint; pineapple, cinnamon, melon, sage, lavender; vanilla, chestnut, amberwood, cedar, guaiac

Interesting sweet-dark chestnut note, drowned out by an obnoxiously loud woody-amber.

Lancome Poeme

Nose: Jacques Cavallier

notes: narcissus, datura, peach, plum, poppy, mandarin, blackcurrant, bergamot, green notes; mimosa, vanilla, tuberose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, jasmine, freesia, heliotrope, rose, leather; amber, tonka bean, musk, cedar

This is a real, full-bodied perfume; a big ol' heady aldehydic floral, lots of sweetness, lots of fluffiness, tuberose and mimosa are definitely involved. Your mom is wearing her good jewelry and going to the opera. Can one...actually, y'know, wear it? in 2023? Probably not, or at least not without irony, but it at least has artistry.

[college-girl199328]

Jean Claude Munyezamu remembers answering a phone call from a six-year-old boy asking if his non-profit group could provide milk for his newborn sibling.

The boy, who attended Umoja Community Mosaic’s drop-in soccer program, was translating for his Ethiopian-speaking mother. “I asked, ‘Do you have food?’ The boy said, ‘No,” recalled Munyezamu, founder of the Calgary-based community group, primarily known for youth programs.

Munyezamu said he went and bought what the single immigrant mother needed for her family — a grocery bag full of ethnocultural food items and milk.

That phone call was three years ago. Since then, Munyezamu said, Umoja has served at least 1,000 immigrant families every two weeks, delivering customized grocery bags, often with dried lentils, corn flour, semolina, kidney beans and donated restaurant meals.

About one in four food bank clients in Alberta self-identified as an immigrant, refugee or visible minority group in a HungerCount report in 2022. Umoja started giving out culturally appropriate food bags after realizing the gap in the system.

“(Many immigrant families) don’t know canned foods, and they don’t eat them,” Munyezamu said. “Can you imagine coming with a bag of food and finding that you don’t recognize anything but to eat it because you have no choice? It’s dehumanizing.”

The organization doesn’t accept or give out canned food items unless it’s tomato sauce for pasta, which the organization taught families how to cook, Munyezamu added.

Providing culturally appropriate food is important for immigrant families to feel that they belong, he said. Elizabeth Onyango, a public health professor at the University of Alberta, has noticed the pattern in her ongoing research. People from ethnic backgrounds often feel food bank items are not culturally appropriate when they’re seeking assistance, she said.

“If you give them canned food, they have no idea how to make that,” she said. “At the end of it all, they throw it away.” In some cases, newcomers stop visiting food banks, Onyango said.

Emergency food programs are not going to address the root cause of food insecurity among newcomers and immigrants, she added. “I think it all starts from meaningful employment … new immigrants tend to start at lower-paying jobs,(with) more mouths to feed.”

With most of their income going to housing, their families are vulnerable to food insecurity, she said. The Umoja centre currently serves about 200 families from 49 countries, mainly from Africa and the Middle East. Food items are bought after the group consults families about their cultural roots, Munyezamu said.

He said the group had been serving about 1,000 families during the COVID-19 pandemic because it had government funding. Recently, it has been seeing a consistent demand from immigrant families, he said. It gets 10 to 15 requests from new families a week but can only accept one or two.

An Edmonton-based multicultural group faces a similar problem with high demand for its food program and a lack of resources to meet the needs of newcomers and immigrant families.

Every Thursday morning, at least a dozen volunteers gather at the Multicultural Health Brokers Co-operative run out of McCauley School to assemble packs of rationed food for its Grocery Run, an emergency food access program. Some weeks, there is more to offer than others.

This last week, the cooperative assembled 175 bags — down from the usual 200 and what was 500 during the pandemic. They were filled with onions, potatoes, carrots, lentils, pasta, canned tomatoes and peas. There were also 40 loaves of bread for the first families to arrive.

Executive director Yvonne Chiu said the organization is struggling financially with its dollars, and making cuts can provide grocery hampers with culturally relevant pantry staples to those in extreme need.

Grocery Run, with favourite food and items world. While financial constraint prevents newcomers from accessing food, “they also face problems with accessing culturally appropriate food,” Chiu said.

“It is an important component of food security,” she said. “Culturally relevant food is more than having adequate food. The food should be nourishing at the spirit, more than for the body.”

Wood Buffalo Food Bank in Fort McMurray, Alta., has had relevant food, including halal meat, for 10 years. Executive director Dan Edwards said while the food bank provides culturally relevant staples, “we are still a food bank, and the majority of our product is donated.”

“We also offer educational programming in an educational kitchen, where we teach (newcomers) how to utilize foods typically given out by food banks,” he adds.

Food Banks Alberta CEO Arianna Scott said although food banks have been providing culturally appropriate food for years, they aren’t “surprised to see additional demand for culturally sensitive and familiar food items” amid the affordability crisis.

She said there has been a shift toward culturally diverse food donations received at local food banks, but “it’s a supply chain that is often inconsistent and particularly challenging for our rural member food banks.”

Scott said donors are encouraged to bring diverse foods, including spices, to their local food banks.

Just a couple of chipper little french peas!

[duderosiers]

the moment the door opened, it seemed his dour mood completely lifted as thalia's face came hurtling towards him, her arms around him in a hug he was only too eager to return. jean-claude gave the fae a tight squeeze, similarly giddy with excitement, smile lighting up his features for the first time in what felt like weeks. if there was one cure to his ails, it was thalia, in all her glory.

"for little old me? really?" j.c teased her as the two released each other finally. the vampire had missed her also, the two had been peas in a pod back in london that had been disrupted by forces beyond both their control. for a while, it felt like he'd never see her again...still, she was here now.

"i would've been really pissed off if you hadn't got me anything, actually," was a more honest response, looking at the spread and picking up a cocktail, taking a sip. being accommodated really was the bees knees.

"amazing! can't wait to see you audition on america's got talent. hope you get that golden buzzer girlie," j.c didn't stop grinning the whole time, it was hard not to around her. "you don't wait around, do you tal?"

@duderosiers location: Talia's house

One of the best things about living in Greywood was the fact that Talia was closed to Jean-Claude. Sure, their friendship was solid, and at times there was some real intense shit there, but Talia was positive that only made her care more about the vampire. She’d helped him through a low point, and in turn, J.C. had been there for Talia, too, when the humans had turned on her. If that wasn’t friendship, she wasn’t sure what was.

Plus, she had really, really missed him.

The Briar Court hadn’t exactly taught her how to host vampires, but from what she’d gathered at the night market, blood was appreciated (ew) and since Fae court had taught her to be an excellent host, Talia had procured blood infused cocktails for J.C. (ew). “He had better appreciate this,” Talia muttered to herself as she set out J.C.’s special spread.

When she heard a knock on the door, Talia rushed over, and immediately tackled Jean-Claude in a massive hug. “Hi!” She exclaimed, not bothering to hide her excitement. “I got you something,” Talia said, stepping aside to reveal the cocktails. “This is how much I love you,” she said dramatically. “Also, guess what? I’m already in a band,” Talia said proudly.

[bailey-calinao]

Since meeting Willow, it was as if the two were two peas in a pod.  Both of them enjoyed the same things, going out and partying.  It really was as simple as that, which was nice.  With Jean Claude deeply in love with his boyfriend his attention was mostly focused on his relationship.  So finding a kindred spirit helped her get out of The Motel and really explore Greywood and all it has to offer to her kind.

“Damn girl, give me a moment.”  Bailey yelled back as she tried on several different outfits wanting to pick the right one to get the attention she much enjoyed.  As she stepped out, she gave a small twirl to give the full effect of the outfit and smiled at her friend’s words.  “I know,” she said, although she did enjoy the compliment.  “No one in particular, just wanted to make sure the girls looked good,” she gave a little shake at her top.  “To make sure we get free drinks.”  Bailey winked.  “Ready or what?”

Where: Willow's Apartment

When: Saturday Night

Who: @bailey-calinao and Willow

Finding anyone to be close with was hard for Willow in general. She had this idea that she didn't really need anyone. The reality was much more sad. She just wanted someone to actually try to crack that shell. Not try to get in her pants, not try to get info to use against her, just...learn about her. That wasn't even something she'd admit to herself let alone any other person. But being lonely didn't mean she was alone. Not even remotely. In fact, she was surrounded by more people in Greywood than she was anywhere else. Most of them she actually enjoyed spending time with.

"Bay, I'm starving and I need a drink! Let's go!" She called to her friend in the next room. This was easy. A friend who enjoyed the escape as much as she did. Someone that either didn't notice she kept things on the surface, or at least didn't push if they did notice. When the woman finally came out Willow tilted her head. "You look really great. Who we trying to impress tonight? Little ole' me?"

i discovered there were a bunch of veggietales cover albums i never heard of so ive been listening to them for. way too long. im gonna have veggie choruses stuck in my head for days. i had to know. this is the price i pay  

anyway, some highlights

- the. “gimme gimme gimme” or whatever the actual line is in Life is A Highway changed to jerry going “jimmy jimmy jimmy YEAH” and confusing him for half the song every single time until jimmy finally just goes “JERRY JERRY JERRY YEAH” back at him 

- archibald and jean claude bonding over gaining american citizenship in the country album ( also, archibald bringing up british roundabouts in Life is A Highway and mr lunt immediately calling him out on it because this is a COUNTRY album stop talking about your BRITISH THINGS) 

- larry and mr lunt sobbing through I Will Always Love You, to a hairbrush and a cheeseburger respectively 

- “it’s where you go fishin’ for catfish, without usin’ a fishing pole!” “whaddya use” “your bare hands!” “uh. think about that for a second.” “oh. yeah. well” 

- junior asparagus casually dropping the fact that he’s a vegetarian in the middle of locomotion im sorry what the FUCK (it’s at about 2 minutes in) (i DONT know what the rules are with veggies and food since like. we know they eat, there’s a chocolate factory, larry has a whole song about pizza, mr lunt has his cheeseburgers, but th. they’re still. vegetables) 

- bob singing Lean On Me is very wholesome and i dont know why specifically

- junior just absolutely shrieking JE EE S UU U U U  SSSS S S in the background in Jesus Is Just Alright 

- archibald straight up breaking down in tears remembering his childhood pet rock ( archibald singing crocodile rock is an experience please listen to this ) 

- mr lunt fucking LOSING IT on the crocodile rock ‘LAAAAA LA DA DA DA DAAAAAA’ and archibald getting really scared and concerned ( “LAAAAAAAA-” “SOMEONE END THIS MADNESS. GET ME OUT OF HERE”) 

- “can we keep it down a little??? the lion is SLEEPING. ...I mean, it’s a fun song, but if you wake up the lion, you got a whole other set of problems” 

- for some reason the french peas sing la bamba and i dont know the words to la bamba and dont know enough spanish to be able to tell if they’re remotely coherent but it sounds like a hot mess (im pretty sure they’re singing BA BA BAMBA though, so there’s that) 

- “the words we use are strong-” “No NO NO NO NO NO LARRY DON’T USE ANY STRONG LANGUAGE” (he didn’t, but the fact that bob instinctively reacted like that sure says SOMETHING) 

- bob interrupting Walking On Sunshine to question the scientific validity of walking on sunshine

- everyone getting WAY too into “That’s What Friends Are For” and just sobbing singing their little vegetable hearts out, jimmy gourd KILLING it over here, someone get bob some tissues 

mr lunt: I’ll be there for you guys! I just want you to know that. 

bob: (choked up) thanks, mr lunt 

mr lunt: unless you need money 

bob: (sniffles) ok 

mr lunt: then call mr nezzer 

bob: (still sobbing) i will
