1 Samuel 20: David Discuss With Jonathan Why Saul Secretly Desires To Kill Him

1  Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?”

2 “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn’t so!”

3 But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”

4 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.”

5 So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow. 

6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.’ 

7 If he says, ‘Very well,’ then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me. 

8 As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the Lord. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?”

9 “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn’t I tell you?”

10 David asked, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”

11 “Come,” Jonathan said, “let’s go out into the field.” So they went there together.

12 Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know? 

13 But if my father intends to harm you, may the Lord deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the Lord be with you as he has been with my father. 

14 But show me unfailing kindness like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed, 

15 and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family—not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”

16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the Lord call David’s enemies to account.” 

17 And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.

18 Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon feast. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty. 

19 The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel. 

20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target. 

21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,’ then come, because, as surely as the Lord lives, you are safe; there is no danger. 

22 But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, because the Lord has sent you away. 

23 And about the matter you and I discussed—remember, the Lord is witness between you and me forever.”

24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat. 

25 He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty. 

26 Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.” 

27 But the next day, the second day of the month, David’s place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

28 Jonathan answered, “David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem. 

29 He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.”

30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you? 

31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”

32 “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” Jonathan asked his father. 

33 But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.

34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David.

35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him, 

36 and he said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 

37 When the boy came to the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?” 

38 Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don’t stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master. 

39 (The boy knew nothing about all this; only Jonathan and David knew.) 

40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.”

41 After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most.

42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.

1 SM 16:1B, 6-7, 10-13A

The LORD said to Samuel: “Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen my king from among his sons.”

As Jesse and his sons came to the sacrifice, Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is here before him.” But the LORD said to Samuel: “Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance but the LORD looks into the heart.” In the same way Jesse presented seven sons before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen any one of these.” Then Samuel asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” Jesse replied, “There is still the youngest, who is tending the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send for him; we will not begin the sacrificial banquet until he arrives here.” Jesse sent and had the young man brought to them. He was ruddy, a youth handsome to behold and making a splendid appearance. The LORD said, “There—anoint him, for this is the one!” Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.

  Responsorial Psalm

PS 23: 1-3A, 3B-4, 5, 6.

R./ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. R./ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side With your rod and your staff that give me courage. R./ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. R./ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come. R./ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

EPH 5:8-14

Brothers and sisters: You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says:

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”

Gospel

JN 9:1-41

As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth. He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes, and said to him, “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam” — which means Sent —. So he went and washed, and came back able to see.

His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the one who used to sit and beg?” Some said, “It is, “ but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” He said, “I am.”

They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees. Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath. So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.” So some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them. So they said to the blind man again, “What do you have to say about him, since he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

They answered and said to him, “You were born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out.

When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered and said, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him.

[znts]

anyway!!!!!!! purging that from my mind!!! 4, 7, 14, 17, 44, 47

We all know it’ll stay inside our brain forever rip

4. A set that flopped but deserved better It didn’t flop but I liked how this ZNT set came out (esp after not making gifs for a long time hahah) and wished it gain more recognition

7. Who are your top 3 gif makers It’s impossible to pick only three so here’s some of my ult favs @zackfaire @submachineguns @micaelis @cruxord @gray @flamexec @noxdivina @16kb @jidai @tomura @25th

14. How long does it usually take you to make a set Depends, making a small gifset takes so much longer than the big one (mostly bc I struggle with the colors & deciding the gif order). It ranges from 2-5 hours

17. 10 sets, 8 sets, 6 sets? How many gifs to you prefer in a set 8 & 10 sets for small ones and 5-7 sets for big ones

44. Ever had a gif become a meme? Would you like that if you haven't Nope and hmmmm idk, not really (and I don’t think my gifs are fit to be one too ahaha)

47. Any advice for novice gif makers/people who want to start making gifs (sweats nervously I don’t think I’m the right person to answer this) Just keep going and continue to learn & explore the possibilities in making gifs, be it coloring, adding effects, mixmatching the scenes, etc. Watching tutorials and asking for advice to skilled gif makers help a lot too!

Question for gif-makers

Tell me you don’t feel something for her // Getting Together trilogy part 2

Fandom: WWE Pairing(s): Platonic Jessamyn Duke & Dakota Kai Prompts used: "You're in denial." "I am not in denial!" + "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't feel something for her."

After a day of rehab and physical therapy, there's nothing Dakota wants more than to take a shower and collapse into bed. But Jessamyn insists that she eat dinner after she showers. Plus, it's a Wednesday, and that means NXT. So after she showers and throws on joggers and a sweatshirt, Dakota makes her way down to the living room where Jessamyn has dinner waiting. Jess immediately raises her eyebrows at Dakota’s sweatshirt. Or, more accurately, Shayna's sweatshirt. But she doesn't say anything, just slides over on the couch to make room for Dakota.

"How did it go today?" Jess asks as she pulls up NXT.

Dakota shrugs. "It was fine, I guess," she says. She lets out a sigh. "I just wish I could do more. At this rate, it feels like I'm never going to be back out there."

Jessamyn gives her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "You will be, I promise," she says.

They fall into their usual chatter and commentary as NXT gets started. It's a big night for their house, with both Mia and Shayna on the card. Mia has a match against Io Shirai, and Shayna is defending her NXT Women's Champion title against Candice LeRae. Dakota had tried to convince Jessamyn to go support their friends, but Jess was adamant that Dakota needed to have someone to keep her company.

Mia is the second match on the card. Dakoya and Jess watch as she starts dominating right out of the gate, and at one point it looks like she's going to pull off a victory, but her pinfall attempt wasn't successful. In the end, Io won the match. But both Jess and Dakota are extremely proud of how Mia performed. "She's really getting more confident in her offense," Jess remarks as NXT cuts to a commercial break.

"Yeah, I really thought she had it there," Dakota agrees. With one of her friends done for the evening, Dakota turns her focus to Shayna's upcoming match. There's one match before the women's title match, but Dakota can't focus on it. All she can think about is Shayna, and how badly she wants to be there to support her in person.

"Earth to Dakota?" The sound of Jessamyn's voice snaps her back to reality. "Everything okay?" she asks. Dakota shakes her head, but doesn't say anything. "Is it about Shayna?" Jess asks.

Dakota nods, letting out a sigh. "I just want to be able to be there for her," she says.

"I know," Jess says, rubbing Charlie's back gently. "But Shayna would agree that you need to rest."

"I know, but that doesn't make it any easier for me," Dakota says. Jessamyn doesn't say anything, just gives her friend's shoulder a squeeze. She knows how hard the last few months have been for Dakota.

The commercial break ends, and the sound of Candice LeRae's music brings Dakota’s focus back. But she's not who Dakota is waiting to see. Suddenly, the intro to Shayna's music hits. Dakota watches her roommate walk out with Marina by her side, and she feels a momentary twinge of guilt that Jessamyn isn't there with her fellow horsewomen. But another gentle squeeze to her shoulder accompanied by the reassuring smile of her friend quells her thoughts.

"Do you think Candice stands a chance against her?" Jess asks.

Dakota shakes her head. "No way," she says confidently. But Candice is absolutely giving Shayna a run for her money. The match is extremely back and forth, and it's not until Shayna stomps Candice's elbow into the steps that Dakota can breathe a little easier. Shayna has her momentum back now, and Dakota knows it's only a matter of time.

Sure enough, it's not long until Shayna locks the Kirifuda Clutch on Candice, and her opponent quickly taps out. Jess and Dakota both jump up from the couch and cheer, thrilled to see their roommate retain her title. Dakota calls Shayna, even though she knows her friend won't be able to answer. She and Jess leave a very chaotic voicemail for her, as well as one for Mia.

After they calm down, Jess sinks into the couch. "I really thought Candice had her for a moment," she says. When she doesn't get a response, Jess looks over to see Dakota watching the screen with a sad gaze, as Shayna celebrates with Marina. "Hey, what's up?" she asks, sliding over and pulling Dakota into a side hug.

"Nothing, I'm fine," Dakota quickly says, but Jess knows better. Charlie lets out a sigh. "Fine. I just wish I could be there with Shayna right now," she explains. "And Mia, of course," she quickly adds.

Jessamyn lets out a little laugh at this. "Dakota, it's okay. I know it's hard to think about being there for anyone other than Shayna," she says, raising an eyebrow.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dakota asks. Jess just smirks at her and Dakota lets out a groan. "Come on, Jess. We're still doing this?" she asks. "For the last time, I don't have a crush on Shayna."

Jess smiles at Dakota’s reaction. "You're in denial," she says.

"I am not in denial!" Dakota protests, making Jess laugh. "I'm serious, Jess. I don't know what makes you think that I have a crush on Shayna, but you're wrong."

Jess raises an eyebrow. "Really?" she asks. "Why are you wearing her sweatshirt then?" she asks.

"Because it was the first one I could find," Dakota says.

"And last week, you said you wanted to be at NXT for Shayna. She wasn't wrestling last week, Dakota. She just had to be there because it's her job," Jess points out. Dakota opens her mouth to argue, but she doesn't know how to respond, so she shuts her mouth and looks down at her hands. "You know I'm right," Jess says. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't feel something for her."

Dakota looks up into her friend's green eyes. But she can't say it, because she knows that as much as she doesn't want to admit it, she does feel something for Shayna. So she sighs, looking back down at her hand. "I don't know what I feel," she says quietly. "But I know I feel something."

Jessamyn pulls her friend close. "Look, you can never tell Shayna I'm telling you this," she says. "But she feels something for you too."

Dakota lets out a sad laugh that almost breaks Jessamyn's heart. "No she doesn't," she says. "There's no way she does." Tears fill Dakota’s eyes and she quickly blinks them away.

"Dakota, trust me," Jess says. "She told me herself."

At this, Dakota’s head snaps up to look at Jess. "What?" she asks, caught off guard.

"Today at the Performance Center," Jess explains. "It's not my place to share what was said, but trust me, she feels something for you."

Dakota sits in silence for a moment, processing her friend's words and all they imply. "So what should I do?" she asks.

Jess gives her a gentle squeeze. "Tell her how you feel, Dakota."

Before Dakota can reply, she hears the familiar sound of Shayna's car pulling up the driveway. "When should I tell her?" she asks Jessamyn.

Jess smiles, nodding towards the garage. "No time like the present, right?"

What was the most unsettling film you’ve seen? Unsettling films are my jam, man. To name a few, there’s Eraserhead, Room, Midsommar, Eyes Wide Shut, Misery, and most recently, I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Eraserhead takes the cake though. That movie always makes me queasy...

What unethical experiment would have the biggest positive impact on society as a whole? I’m a firm believer in nothing good ever comes out of unethical practices. I’ll never forget reading about an experiment where a group of newborn babies were given basic needs like food and being bathed, but weren’t shown any affection whatsoever and it was meant to see if humans can survive with just the most basic physiological needs. By the end of the experiment period half of the babies were dead. The results were honestly a lot bleaker than how I’ve put it, but I don’t wanna be a downer lol. Suffice it to say that experiment haunted me for days after reading it.

When was the last time you were snooping, and found something you wish you hadn’t? It was around a week or so ago, I’m pretty sure.

Which celebrity or band has the worst fan base? My sister is into K-pop and I hear insights from her all the time, but her one constant is that BTS breeds the most annoying, toxic fans. I’d have to agree. Ariana Grande’s fandom was also annoying at one point, but I haven’t heard much from them making a mess these days.

What are you interested in that most people aren’t? Autobiographies.

If you were given a PhD degree, but had no more knowledge of the subject of the degree besides what you have now, what degree would you want to be given to you? Why would I deserve a PhD on something I’m clearly not qualified for...I’m not sure I’m following this question right, but I don’t feel like thinking too hard about it.

What smartphone feature would you actually be excited for a company to implement? I’m happy with the features that are widespread now, but I wish companies adhere more to countries other than the common ones like US, UK, Australia, etc. I always see ads about phones being able to tell you how much movie tickets cost or track boarding passes, but those are all irrelevant here. It makes a lot of Apple’s basic apps useless on this side of the world haha.

What’s something people don’t worry about but really should? Long-term effects of poor habits like not getting enough sleep or drinking too many cups of coffee. I know because I’m guilty of this.

What movie quotes do you use on a regular basis? “I won’t think about that now, I’ll think about it tomorrow,” but I usually say it to myself, especially when I feel stressed.

Do you think that children born today will have better or worse lives than their parents? Better, but idk if that’s just me being biased because my generation will be the next parents lol. I just think that a lot of Gen X parents still have a lot of dated prejudices and mindsets that my generation was able to learn better from. For example my mom doesn’t like using people’s preferred names, especially if they’ve transitioned -_____- and I know I’d never want to set such an example for my kids.

What’s the funniest joke you know by heart? I know I’ve come across hilarious ones but I always fail to come up with one when asked on the spot.

When was the last time you felt you had a new lease on life? LOL RIGHT NOW

What’s the funniest actual name you’ve heard of someone having? It’s more stupid than funny and I know I’ve already mentioned this before, but Covid Bryant as a first and second name still takes the cake for me. My sister went to school with a girl whose name is just her surname backwards, and for a time I was really weirded out by it. But in the times I’ve seen her she really owns her name and never looks bothered by it, so I quickly stopped caring.

Which charity or charitable cause is most deserving of money? For me it would have to be organizations for animal welfare.

What TV show character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week? Post-El Camino Jesse Pinkman. I wouldn’t want to live through his chaotic shit  from Breaking Bad, but his fate after El Camino is something I’m super envious of.

What was cool when you were young but isn’t cool now? Flip phones, Blackberry phones, Roshes, Frappuccinos.

If you were moving to another country, but could only pack one carry-on sized bag, what would you pack? Phone, laptop, their chargers, important IDs, some of my favorite tops and jeans, underwear, essential toiletries, wallet, a family photo, a journal and pen, earphones, certain knickknacks to remember Gab and my dogs by. Minus the clothes, all of these are pretty tiny so I think these would all fit in the bag just fine.

What’s the most ironic thing you’ve seen happen? I don’t know. I’m not really a fan of rating the most/worst this and that stuff in my life, either. I feel like I unnecessarily rack my brain too hard for them when I take surveys to have a chill time.

If magic was real, what spell would you try to learn first? Probably something that’d keep my dogs from dying.

If you were a ghost and could possess people, what would you make them do? No thanks. I’d be the chillest ghost tbh, I’d like to just sneak up on people’s business and hang out but never interfere in them.

What goal do you think humanity is not focused enough on achieving? Climate change, global warming, alleviation of poverty. Corporations and the few people who actually have the power and money to change things only ever come up with short-term shit like donations and never look at the big picture. What problem are you currently grappling with? So many personal ones. But just like the recurring theme of my surveys so far, “I don’t want to get into it.”

What character in a movie could have been great, but the actor they cast didn’t fit the role? As much as I love Kristen Stewart, I heard she was cast as Princess Diana for an upcoming film and I’m not really feeling that decision. They could’ve gone with a British actress for starters?????? The movie is still in production but it is pretty annoying to think about lmao.

What game have you spent the most hours playing? Probably GTA: San Andreas as a kid.

What’s the most comfortable bed or chair you’ve ever been in? Luxury hotel beds are always so fluffy and comfortable.

What’s the craziest conversation you’ve overheard? Omg one time at a coffee shop Gabie and I sat beside this older couple that obviously was going through some heavy SHIT. There was a lot of animosity and tension between them and I caught the lady silently break into tears a few times. I never overheard anything but then again they sat in silence for hours until the lady finally walked out on him. Never knew what it was about but I’ve always guessed that the man did something crappy, like cheat, and was discovered. It was a really sad sight and a crazy situation to witness and I think I felt even more sorry because they were obviously in their 50s or 60s. I hope the woman is in a better place now as she looked rough as fuck that evening.

What’s the hardest you’ve ever worked? I wore a lot of hats when I was in my college org, and that was on top of balancing my acads as well.

What movie, picture, or video always makes you laugh no matter how often you watch it? That scene from Friends where Ross plays the keyboard for Chandler, Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel.

What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation? It depends on what music they’re into and if I have actually have a recommendation in mind for them. I obviously can’t suggest Paramore to someone who mainly listens to metal.

If you could have an all-expenses paid trip to see any famous world monument, which monument would you choose? I’m down for any monuments that are super ancient like Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Giza.

If animals could talk, which animal would be the most annoying? I’d go with frogs, but only because they get annoyingly loud in the evening.

What’s the most addicted to a game you’ve ever been? Playing The Sims, Mario Kart, Rock Band, or games in the Burnout franchise.

What’s the coldest you’ve ever been? Japan was so fucking cold when I was there. Didn’t do my research and ended up being dressed poorly, and I was so cold I could barely talk to my parents or fully enjoy my time. Sagada was also nearly unbearable in the early morning.

Which protagonist from a book or movie would make the worst roommate? Not from a book or movie, but BoJack Horseman. Diane can also be in the running as I always found her too whiny. I get that she had her personal shit to deal with, but I don’t think living with her would be good for my own sanity and mental health.

Do you eat food that’s past its expiration date if it still smells and looks fine? It annoys my chef dad to death that I don’t lol. No matter how great it looks, I’d bounce. I once ate expired Kit Kats that tasted like cardboard and that scared me off of expired food forever.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you have bought? I once bought a stupid novelty soap that to this day I’ve never even opened. It’s in one of my drawers, and I plan to just throw it out at some point.

What’s the funniest comedy skit you’ve seen? Not a fan of these but one that got to me is Dear Sister from SNL.

What’s the most depressing meal you’ve eaten? A few years ago there was a local breakfast place that offered red velvet pancakes for a limited time and I was all over that crap, so I went and ordered. The actual pancakes ended up not being any bigger than my palm, and I remember not being able to hide my disappointment once the server placed the dish on my table haha. I felt so scammed. I had to order something else to feel full, because those pancakes were stupidly small.

What tips or tricks have you picked up from your job/jobs? One of my superiors, when she was presenting a pitch to our director yesterday, kept asking questions and picking at the director’s brain so that she can get suggestions and answers straight from the director herself and so that she didn’t have to do any brainstorming anymore. I thought that was a pretty nifty and clever hack.

What outdoor activity haven’t you tried, but would like to? Hiking a mountain!

What songs hit you with a wave of nostalgia every time you hear them? Umbrella by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z.

What’s the worst backhanded compliment you could give someone? Idk, anything can be the worst depending on the context. I’m not a fan of giving those, though.

What’s the most interesting documentary you’ve ever watched? Unsolved Mysteries’ Dupont de Ligonnès episode was a lot of fun to watch.

What was the last song you sang along to? I think it was Thinking of You by Katy Perry? but I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t sung along to anything in a while.

What app can you not believe someone hasn’t made yet? I don’t really download and use a lot of apps other than the basic ones, so I don’t care too much.

When was the last time you face palmed? Last night.

If you were given five million dollars to open a small museum, what kind of museum would you create? I’d give it away to the Martial Law museum currently being made near my university so that it can do more to show the atrocities of the Marcoses. And so that I can piss off my pro-Marcos relatives.

Which of your vices or bad habits would be the hardest to give up? Uh hating myself, if that counts.

What really needs to be modernized? Public transportation systems in this country.

Confess a dark, twisted, or otherwise sinful thought your muse has had about mine. "Ah, how about a classic?" Holds out a Very Skimpy maid costume in Jess's size. "Master and maid, it is a classic for a reason. You'd have to listen to your masters every naughty demand, or get punished... Of course, I'm not much for pain. So it would be back to the teasing and the refusal to let you get relief until you're a flustered mess type of punishment." A small laugh. "Would you be a good girl? Or a bad."

Confess a dark, twisted, or otherwise sinful thought your muse has had about mine.On or off anon, it’s up to you!

Jess let out a squeak seeing the costume, peeking between her fingers and she just whimpered again and closed her fingers. Wildly shaking her head.

“Nope no-nope nope! I’m not answe-answering that, I’m going to go and ge-get myself a drink of, of water a-and then go an-and hide” She said in a bit of a rush, blushing more at the last bit “No-Not saying sh-shit! I th-think I know wh-who this is an-and you’re still an ass!”

Naire fiddled with her datapad as she waited for the LAATs to return to the hangar. The message had said it was urgent for the General to see and answer it and she had wasted no time and gone straight to the hangar bay when she had seen the General, the 501st and the 212th were flying back from their mission. She did not want to get on the Jedi Council’s bad side by delaying something that sounded important.

She straightened when the first LAAT landed and then relaxed again when she recognized the markings of the 501st. She started to smile when the doors slid back, but her expression froze when she saw the troopers. Their laughter was not an unusual sound to hear, nor was the fact that they had all removed their helmets.

They were all soaked.

Naire watched in confusion as they clambered off of the LAAT, pushing and shoving each other and dripping water all over the hangar bay floor. Most of it was centered around Rex as his brothers reached for his head and he whacked their hands away with a glare that was softened by a grin. Naire blinked as they approached and asked, “I… What happened down there? I thought the mission went fine.”

The group sniggered and shoved at each other. Rex rolled his eyes and drawled, “The mission was fine.”

Fives threw an arm over Rex’s shoulder with a laugh.

“The fountains were too pretty to pass up though. So, we convinced Rex to take a closer look.”

More sniggering and Naire held up a gloved hand to hide her own smile. Not very successfully by the way Rex narrowed his eyes at her. Voice shaking with mirth, Naire asked, “I suppose you all got a very close… look at the fountain then?”

“If you mean bodily throwing me in and then dragging them in after me, yes,” Rex answered and Naire couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her. She tried to choke it off as Rex complained about his brothers not respecting his rank with a smile. Fives, Hardcase and Jesse instantly jumped in to defend themselves, arguing that Rex had needed a good dunking.

The laughter died down a little when the next LAAT arrived with the 212th. My smile froze when the doors opened and a dark cloud stomped out in the form of General Obi-wan Kenobi. Rex and the troopers of the 501st beside me straightened, all of them sensing the annoyance dripping off of the General.

And the General was dripping.

His jedi robes were soaked, but unlike the 501st the water -if it could be called that- had left dark stains. Something was smudged across the General’s face as well and Naire thought she could see something plastered amongst the hair stuck to his head and face. Something she didn’t think she wanted to identify.

Behind him, Cody and the rest of the 212th disembarked, all wearing their helmets and following their general at a slower pace. Following the trail of brown drops and boot prints on the hangar bay floor.

Then the smell hit Naire.

She pressed her lips together to keep herself from making a face as General Kenobi stomped closer, intent on leaving the hangar bay. Probably to get himself cleaned up. And to escape the smell of… chlorine? Piss? Again something she wasn’t sure she wanted to identify. Naire heard Hardcase swear quietly under his breath and a quick glance showed the 501st collectively trying to look anywhere but at the general.

Unfortunately, Naire didn’t have that luxury.

“Um, General Kenobi, what-”

“I do not wish to speak of it, sergeant,” Kenobi interrupted me in a clipped voice. It was filled with annoyance and misery. Naire swallowed to avoid gagging and stepped a little into his path.

“A message from the Jedi Council arrived,” Naire said and Kenobi looked up miserably. As if asking the Maker and the Force why they decided to torture him in this way. At this moment Naire wanted to know why the Maker would torture her with the smell radiating off of Kenobi.

He took the datapad from her and skimmed the message before heaving a sigh.

“Tell them I will take their call in half an hour,” he ordered and before Naire could even answer, he had rushed past her and out of the hangar bay. She blinked after him as the 501st began to quietly giggle to each other about what could have happened to Kenobi.

“Commander, what in the Maker’s name happened to the General?” she asked when Cody stopped beside her and Rex. Cody removed his helmet and Naire stared at the wide smile stretching across his face.

“Nothing the general would like me to repeat,” Cody answered and Naire could hear the delight and amusement in his voice. He winked at her, causing her cheeks to heat. “Let’s just say I will fondly remember today for the rest of my life.”

Really hope you’re not throwing obi-wan and rex in the same fountain bc poor rex doesn’t deserve THAT

Tag game!

I’ve been tagged by the wonderful @lottieiswriting​ to answer a few questions about myself, so here we go!

Name: well, according to my main url (soupopoireau, if you’re wondering!), I guess you can call me Soup...? Never really thought about this... I don’t even have a pen name either, whoops..

Birthday: 6th of May!

Zodiac sign: I’m a Taurus! Though I don’t know much about zodiac stuff...

Height: I’m 1m70, which is... around 5″7 apparently? I’m French, not used to feet and inches...

Hobbies: I love reading a looot. Also watching series, films, anime.. I also spend way too much time on tumblr, but aside from that I love walking around and swimming when I can, and bothering my dogs and cat!

Favorite color: I like sky blue! Also rusted ocres and warm browns, and deep green!

Favorite books: Oh that’s a hard one, since I forget all the titles of the books I’ve read... These days I’m absolutely in love with the Chalion trilogy by Lois Mc Master Bujold, which is medieval fantasy with a few gods meddling, and has absolutely wonderful characters! I cannot recommend it enough, if anyone wants to know more about it, just ask me! I’m also a fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, and The Lord of the Rings pretty much got me into fantasy...

Last film watched: I recently watched The Imitation Game with my family, but I’d say the last film I loved was Bohemian Rhapsody!

Last song listened to: I’m currently deep into hoarding songs for my WIP’s playlist, so I’ve got a few jumbled together: Gold by Jeremy Loops, Run Boy Run  by Woodkid, In The Woods Somewhere by Hozier... I love them all!

Inspiration / muse: Hooo boy, that can be anything. I get ideas from lots of things, mostly things I read or watch or play, which give me concepts I might want to develop... Aside from that, I get way too much inspiration when I’m trying to sleep. I also love to write outside!

Dream job: I’m studying to be some kind of wildlife biologist, and though I’m not really sure yet where I want to go, that’s my dream job! I love writing, but I think I enjoy it more when it’s not my main job!

Meaning behind url: Well... As I said, I’m french... And it was a cold evening, and we had leek soup... Which is... Soupe au poireau in french... So... Soupopoireau, I guess!  As for my writeblr, city-by-the-sea, it’s named after an important city in my WIP, in which my characters start off! It’s one of the first things I fleshed out while worldbuilding, and it’s a place I’m quite fond of!

I tend to overwrite, and it’s a bit embarassing, but that was fun! Thanks, Lottie, for tagging me! I’m tagging @nerocael , @writer-jessicac , @alexisawriter , @jess---writes, @drew-is-writing , @thewrittenpost and @diabhals ! Don’t feel pressured to answer, though!

someone left a lovely comment on a fic I haven’t touched in like two years and that I haven’t planned on continuing cause I’m a dumb bitch who wrote until I got stuck but the commenter said the fic’s existence made their morning and now I’m like uhhhh Should I Try And Think Of Something???

[hogwartsmarvelmommy]

i don’t know if you know what sport this is but you said you were bored.

melbourne (where i live) has finally gotten out of lockdown (cause of covid), and yesterday i finally played my first game of netball after like 4 months. out of seven people on the team six of them are attackers and i was the only defender.

to say the game was a shit show is an understatement but it was fun to be playing with my friends again.

we ended up loosing by two which is fairly good considering an attacker played defence and we hadn’t played in a fair few months.

i hope you have a lovely rest of the day!! 🤍🥰🤍🥰

I'm so glad you were able to start playing again!

And as long as you had fun, oh well if you lost! ❤️

18 and 21 for the asks !😊😊

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?

Oh boy... This is going to be alot 😅

Jaded by @soft-haz

(this whole series was just 😩 I loved it)

Domino, ground rules, and no knock knocks by @madmadmilk

(none of these even need an explanation, like if you haven't read... You should)

I swear to God I never fall in love and blackouts, thin walls, and neighborly affection by @hazofmyheart

(also don't need an explanation, both of these were so unbelievably good and I wish I could go back and read for the first time again 😩❤️)

And

Electric love and paint the grass green by @lauras-collection

(dad!Tom and roommate! Harrison fwb that's all the explanation needed 😭😂)

(there is more, but I'm to lazy to go find any of them currently)

21) what do you think when you read over your older work?

I'm putting a cut because I can't just give one answer 😅

Well this one and this one make me cringe. (Won't catch me rereading thoes anytime soon 😬)

Never have I ever, sleep talk, and empty mugs and unexpected hugs are three that I am unexplainably proud of to this day, and I do believe they were good. They could have used a bit more editing, sure, but here we are 😅

Fallout of the century.... I don't want to talk about it 😏 I just really thought I was doing something, the whole thing is rushed and bam bam bam.. (it was the very first thing I wrote though so...) (Also the re-edited version is better than the original series, but still not great)

The lighthouse that guided me, pinkie promise, and second chances and unspoken promises were three that I was very excited about when I posted them, and then they just didn't do all that well, so I'm not sure how I feel anymore... (Which is stupid i know)

I have reread all of my fics way to many times to count tbh. (For editing, and just pure boredom sometimes) And I can honestly say I have grown since I first started writing (Thank God) 😂

[hogwartsmarvelmommy]

12 & 22 for the asks :)

12) your weaknesses as an author

I feel like in just going to put myself on blast here but....

I have a super hard time imagining a character with nothing to go off of. Like I can do it, but if I have a (face/personality/quirks) to go off of I find it 100 times easier.

Also.

I am a creature of habit.. and I personally hate it 😭 like I want to venture off the path I've put down and try new things. And I have all these great ideas, but when I sit down, I always go back to what I know/feel comfortable with and it's frustrating! 😤

22) are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?

Absolutely 🙃

(why I can't actually think of any at this particular moment is beyond me...)

But yes 😂
