Will you lay away Away with me Not from, I’ll hold nothing from you But for you Come lay By my side Not be sidelined No longer lined marked divided between But adjoined The Lakeshore effect My mental affect Your vocal inflect Upon me Although I am frozen Like the waters I will warm to you I warn you Storms may strike lightning Beauty in that is that Even something-one Negative can touch positive Forever that flash Will you lay And watch these lights Pass by like cars Like time Like life Will you give me all your today's and tomorrows Laid up alongside Warming all the while

[birgittesilverbae]

hitched fic, a moment for either/both of them where they look at the other and think 'hmm, maybe i won't mind being married to that goober', not that big italicized Oh, but that tiny little ...huh

"You disappeared," Ava calls out as she picks her way carefully down the stairs to the dock. The treads are still damp with the prior day's rain and fallen leaves lie slick on the wood. 

Bea glances back towards her from her spot at the very edge of the dock, shrugs a sweater-clad shoulder. "I just needed some air. You didn't have to come down."

"What, and stay up there with a solo front row seat to Ms. and Ms. Disgustingly In Love? No, thank you." She comes to a halt at the path curving along the lakeshore, eyeing the dock distrustfully. No handrails to grab onto there; she'd need to mention that to Mary when they returned to the cottage. 

"Have you stayed out here with them before?"

Ava shakes her head, then realises Bea can't see the movement. "Just on day trips, I used to bartend part-time and I'd pick up shifts on long weekends. Never worked out that I could stay overnight."

Bea hums to herself, tucks her hands in her pockets. "The last time I was here it was with Lucia." 

"Ah. No wonder you needed to step away. Do you want me to leave you to it, or…?"

Bea turns fully towards her then, her breath clouding in the air with every breath. "No," she replies, striding back up the dock towards her, "I always appreciate your company."

Ava ducks her chin towards her chest, her face growing hot. She doesn't know that she'll ever get used to the ease with which Bea just says things like that, or to how clear it is that she doesn't understand the effect it has on Ava. She clears her throat and kicks at a clump of leaves. "Yeah, well, the only other option is third-wheeling them while they talk about colour schemes with Yas, so…" 

"Are they still pretending they haven't already decided on navy and sage?"

"Mary was going on about coral when I made my escape."

Bea laughs softly. "She does know how to push every single one of Shannon's buttons." She proffers her arm to Ava, nods towards the path. "Would you be up for a turn about the lake?"

"Gladly." She clasps Bea's forearm, turns in time with her to start down the path. Her thumb strokes absently across the thick weave of Bea's sleeve. "I like this sweater too," she remarks, "but I'm appropriately dressed for the weather this time, so don't even think about offering it to me."

"I wouldn't dream of it. I'm glad to hear you've figured out how to check a forecast."

"Didn't want to risk another round of mockery."

"It was gentle ribbing, if anything."

"'Oo, Ava, you're going to freeze your nipples off'."

"I absolutely do not sound like that, and I definitely did not say 'nipples'."

"You might not have said it, but…" Bea's arm stiffens beneath her hand, and Ava scrambles to backtrack. She gestures up at the trees, limbs skeletal in the cool air. "Ironic, don't you think, that we're here looking at this as a wedding venue when everything's in the middle of dying off for winter?"

Bea tips her head back to follow the direction of Ava's hand. Her face goes a bit shuttered, cheeks pink with the chill, eyelashes fluttering. "It'll be beautiful come spring, though," she replies softly.

Gaze locked on Bea, on the gentle fall of loose strands of hair across her cheek, on the constellation of freckles scattered over her cheeks, Ava can't help but agree.

SR Vil Schoenheit Outdoor Wear Personal Story: Part 2

"An earnest battle against the fish."

(Part 1) Part 2

[Dwarfs' Mine – Lakeside]

Vil: It'll almost have been an hour, and I haven't fished up anything whatsoever. What is going on!?

Malleus: Heh… It seems you were all talk.

Vil: Aren't you in the same situation? What are you acting so boastful about!?

Vil: …No, never mind, I need to calm down. I almost let myself lose my composure there.

Vil: I strongly believe in taking all competitions seriously… However, that does not mean I should lose my cool.

Vil: Stay composed, be clever, and secure victory beautifully.

Vil: I need to cool down and remember what I learned about fishing from those books and online.

Vil: The most important thing in fishing was… Not causing any kind of disturbance.

Vil: If one raises their voice, the fish in the water would hear it and run away, it said.

Malleus: Similar to how you were raising your voice to me a moment ago.

Vil: …I'll admit, that was my mistake. From now until I catch a fish, I shan't speak one more word to you.

Vil: Also, if I recall, another effective method to use when unsuccessful in catching anything is to move locations.

Vil: It was also written that fish tend to gather around places that have various obstacles, like reeds, or stumps. I'll change my location to over there.

Vil: …Not even a nibble.

Vil: I'll try switching up my bait. I can try lure fishing instead.

Vil: …S-STILL NOTHING!

Vil: This is strange. Are there no fish in this lake?

[splish, splash!]

Malleus: There are some fish splashing off in the distance.

Vil: So it's not that they're not here…

Vil: However, I'm much too far away from the location the fish splashed, my line won't reach…

Vil: What should I try next? Should I change locations once again? Or should I change my lure?

Vil: …No, instead, I should…

[wades into the lake]

Film Research Student A: Vil-san! You're going into the lake!? You'll ruin the outfit you received…!

Vil: It's nothing to be surprised about, is it? If I cannot reach it from the lakeshore, then I should move myself closer.

Vil: I'm wading… That is what it's called when you go into a river, lake or even the ocean, to fish.

Vil: This is common for anglers to do. And if I cannot fish anything up this way, then I shall think of another method.

Vil: I was thoroughly thinking about this in the wrong way. This is not a competition versus malleus.

Vil: No, this is an earnest battle against the fish.

Vil: …Fufufu.

Vil: Not only am I the Dorm Leader of Pomefiore at Night Raven College, I am also the leader of the Film Research Club.

Vil: I also have the distinction of being a prominent model. However, such accolades mean nothing to the fish.

Vil: It has been some time since I've been able to compete so earnestly against an opponent who has no preconceived notion as to who I am.

Vil: I feel I have returned to my early days of my career. This is quite exciting.

Vil: I-I CAUGHT ONE!

Film Research Student A: You did it, Vil-san!

Vil: And with this, my fishing competition with Malleus results in my victory.

Film Research Student A: …Wasn't this an earnest battle against the fish, not a competition versus Malleus-san?

Vil: I don't believe I ever said that my competition with Malleus was null and void.

Vil: Fufufu, time to show Malleus what I've caught.

Vil: …Take a look, Malleus. I caught a fish. This is my victory.

Malleus: I also just fished one up as well.

Vil: What did you say…!?

Malleus: I caught mine first. This is my win.

Vil: No, I caught mine first!

Film Research Student A: U-Uh, you two… Please calm down…

Vil: Besides, yours is such a small fry. You can't possibly consider that a proper catch.

Malleus: Hmph, it is larger than the one you hooked.

Vil: No, the one I caught is much larger. This is definitely my win!

Malleus: No, it is mine.

Film Research Student B: I can't tell them that neither of their fishes are large enough for us to eat… There's no way I can tell that to these Dorm Leaders…!

[Pomefiore Dorm – Epel's Room]

―A few months later

Epel: Ah! There's an interview with Vil-san in today's magazine!

Epel: Let's see… Oh, there's something written here about the Vargas Camp we had here.

Epel: …Woah! I didn't realize Vil-san was also good at fishing!

Epel: "Whenever I fish, I feel as though I am able to return to being simply Vil Schoenheit," huh…

Epel: That sounds pretty pretentious, so I don't really get what he means, but… I guess that's kinda deep…

[Pomefiore Dorm – Vil's Room]

Vil: …Yes, that does sound enticing. I'll accept that offer. Send me the details via email.

[click]

Vil: Fufu… That was a call from my manager for an offer to do a new commercial.

Vil: And of all things, for fishing equipment! That store's fishing wear is cool and stylish, so I'm quite looking forward to it.

Vil: Since the client read about my fishing interview… Does that mean I have that Vargas Camp to thank for this?

Vil: It was quite the annoying excursion, but perhaps I should thank Vargas-sensei, as well as Malleus?

Vil: …Hm, no. If I am to thank anyone, that should be the fish.

Lakeside Dalliance

Another entry for @xxsycamore's Late Summer Rendezvous event! Sorry for the delay in this one (and lack of fics recently). Heavy stuff has been going on and I haven't really felt like writing, but I think I am ready to get back to it.

Also this is my first fic for the ikepri fandom! I decided to write for...Jin! I hope you guys enjoy!

18+ NSFW content, PIV, nipple play, semi public sex

You and Jin had gone for a lakeside picnic to enjoy the beautiful late summer day. Of course, it wasn’t much of a picnic considering it was all sweets that Yves had helped you make. You had been feeding each other the sweet treats and enjoying the time together before packing your picnic up and heading back home.

“It’s such a beautiful day.” You said, smiling at Jin as you two lazily walked along the lakeshore. 

“Yes and it’s a shame it has to end so early. Are you sure you really need to get back to your library so soon?” Jin asked, a playful grin on his face.

“I can’t leave Rio to run it all by himself.” You reply. “We have been getting busier.”

As you two walked and chatted, you weren’t paying attention to where your feet were going and you ended up tripping over a tree root. The next thing you knew, you were tumbling, Jin reaching for you but losing his own balance, resulting in both of you falling into the lake.

Jin’s arms were around you and he was helping to pull you back up to the surface. “Are you alright?” Jin asked, holding you close, his garnet eyes wide as he looked at you.

“Fine…just wet now.” You answer.

Jin grins at you. “I do tend to have that effect on you.” He teases.

You frown and playfully slap his chest. “Jin!”

He chuckles and kisses your forehead, before helping you get to shore. Once you two are standing on dry land, Jin’s eyes are looking over you, checking for any injury…however his gaze quickly grows heated once he eyes your chest.

“Jin?” You asked, feeling yourself flush. That’s when you look down at yourself and notice that your white sundress has become see-through and your nipples are standing out very proudly.

Before you can even react, Jin’s large hands are on your waist pulling you close and his lips are on yours in a hungry kiss.

You quickly melt at the feel of his lips on yours and his hands groping your breasts through your wet dress. You moan into the kiss as his thumbs slide over your hardened nipples.

“Jin…” you gasp between kisses as you both sink to the ground. 

“Sorry…” Jin replies, grinning at you as he pulls away. “I just…can’t help myself when you…look so good like this.”

You return his smile. “...’S’okay…” You reply, as you can already feel the heat growing between you two.

Jin repositions you so that you are straddling his lap and he’s undoing your dress at the back, pulling it down to free your breasts before burying his face between them. He starts to kiss and lick over your breasts one at a time as he uses his fingers to toy with the nipple of the other one.

“Mmm…Jin…” you moan as you start to grind your hips against the growing tent in his wet pants.

Jin lets out a groan, causing his lips to vibrate against the nipple he holds in his mouth. You grind down harder in response.

Before you know it, neither of you can take it anymore and you’re undoing Jin’s pants and he’s ripping away your panties, your dress wet and bunched up at your waist. You position yourself over him before sinking your hips down and taking him in all at once.

You both groan at the feeling of being connected so deeply. You fist your fingers in Jin’s hair and drag his lips away from your chest to connect with your own as you begin to ride him. He grins into the kiss, his hands going to fondle your breasts as you continue to ride him.

“Mmmm…Jin…hah…I…I love…you…” You get out between pants and moans.

“I…love you…too…” Jin replies, his hands sliding down to grip your hips as he trails kisses down the side of your neck.

Before long, you are reaching your peak, feeling yourself coming completely undone and your walls clenching hard around his cock, pulling him into his own release.

Jin grins at you as you both slowly come down from your high, you still sitting on his cock. “I think Rio can handle the library for a bit longer, don’t you? I don’t think that was enough.”

“I think…you might be right.” You admit, returning his grin. You would eventually return…but a little longer with Jin wouldn’t hurt anything.

[takuas-eyebrows]

by popular demand, here are some reader insert headcanons for the Toa Nuva!

by popular demand i mean 2 people asked me for nuva hcs and my lizard brain spent a week obsessing over it. it's very easy to make me do things apparently. (thank you for your support!!)

as before, some of these hcs are slightly nsfw so beware. oooooOOoOoOoooo more ghost noises as I disappear back into the abyss.

Tahu: Enjoys PDA, especially if it means showing off how hot y’all are together! Expect him to have a proud hand on your hip or your knee at all times. Even touchier in private. He smells like licorice and fennel. He used to be very hotheaded and took on a lot, has since learned to delegate and work as a team. Sometimes still needs to be reminded to talk about his feelings. He can also get a little competitive, if he loses against you at something he’ll sulk a bit. Dates tend to be very active & physical–ziplining, axe throwing, skateboarding–or competitive–sports games, arcade, nights in playing video games. Not skiing. Shows & receives affection through gifts and acts of service; he’s not the best at giving or receiving words of affection. He enjoys movies, particularly comedies & action flicks. He says he likes horror, but he actually hates it and watches horror movies through his fingers or from behind a blanket. In bed, he’s intense, focused, and passionate. He’s not as kinky as one would think but he is very open minded. He likes being in control, but he would enjoy & benefit from not being in control every so often, though he’d need to be convinced. Big spoon.

Gali: Is already quite touchy to begin with, but gets flustered easily beyond anything she’s not used to. She likes holding hands and linking arms. She smells like clean linen and salt water. Very good at communication, but her patience is not limitless and she’s probably already used up a lot of energy doing emotional labor for her team so you’d better pull your weight and learn to communicate. Shows & receives affection through quality time & words of affirmation. Dates involve volunteering together, working out, nature walks/hikes, and going to the beach or lakeshore. She also likes sightseeing, so take her somewhere neat & unique. She’s very cuddly in bed and prefers positions that give her as much body contact as possible. She tends to take charge unless otherwise agreed upon. She’s actually quite kinky, but shy about voicing her desires, so be patient with her. She’s a fantastic kisser. Vers spoon.

Kopaka: is extremely PDA averse. He’ll let you hold his hand and sit pressed up against him; if he’s feeling particularly touchy maybe he’ll put a hand on your knee. In private, he likes holding you as you lean back into him. He smells like pine. He’s a little slow to voice his concerns/needs and sometimes needs to be reminded to talk about them, but can be an effective & straightforward communicator once he opens up. He’s surprisingly hilarious, but only ever mutters jokes into your ear. Shows & receives affection through acts of service and quality time, he’s abysmal with words of affirmation–he gets flustered if on the receiving end. If there’s snow, dates involve skiing/snowboarding, cross country skiing, etc. followed by a warm drink in the lodge lounge. Non-snow dates involve hikes or anything that involves exploring, being high up, and not a lot of people. He also likes independent cinema. In bed, he’s extremely curious and fascinated by your reactions to his actions. He’s attuned to his senses and enjoys exploring your body with touch and taste, but needs some of your guidance. Responds well to praise, so tell him he’s a good boy. <3 Little spoon.

Pohatu: Enjoys PDA and is usually touching you in at least one place at a given moment, but he’s also a touchy person in general. Chances are, you’re probably sitting in his lap already. He smells like leather & cloves; he also might smell a little sweaty if you catch him at the right moment, huff huff. Very amicable, nothing fazes him so others may think he’s a pushover, but he can actually stand up for himself just fine. Very confident in himself. Very aware of how attractive he is and uses it to his advantage. A good team player and partner, doesn’t expect you to change anything for him but also will not compromise his sense of self for another person. All your disagreements come to a peaceful resolution somehow. Shows & receives affection through all means–quality time, acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts, etc. Dates mostly involve sports games, playing sports, running, and working out, but he is truly down for anything so hell yea take him to that pottery class you’ve been eyeing. He loves action movies, biopics, and rom-coms. He’s very laid back in bed and will try anything at least once, and has a long list of things that he wants to try as well ;) Has incredible stamina and can go on forever. Big spoon.

Onua: He’s shy about initiating PDA and can get a little flustered, but actually enjoys it. He’s a big cuddly teddy bear and especially loves holding onto you, or just holding hands when out and about. He smells like rain and fresh grass. He’s definitely the strong, silent type and needs to be reminded to speak up if something is bothering him. He speaks gently but straightforwardly, and you find yourself relying on his wisdom and unique way of looking at the world. Great listener. Prefers to give & receive affection through quality time and acts of service. Gets very flustered at words of affirmation, but it’s very cute. He’s very much a gentleman and loves a traditional dinner date + evening walk somewhere nice followed by a coffee; y’all cook together and tend to your joint community garden plot. Dates may also involve birdwatching, hiking, browsing through bookshops, or volunteering. Loves documentaries and sci-fi movies. Tends to let you take the lead in bed, but thinks using his strength to manhandle you a bit is hot. Surprisingly loud. Big spoon.

Lewa: Naturally very touchy, so enjoys PDA. Will kiss you in front of other people. Always has an arm around your shoulders or waist. Smells like lilacs and citrus. Constantly moving and appreciates when someone is able to keep up with him. Easily excitable, charismatic, and full of humor, generally very lively to be around. At times, his smile doesn’t reach his eyes and there seems to be something gnawing at him from deep within, and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and only sleeps again when you hold him tight and stroke him. Dates feel like adventures–ziplining, climbing, sightseeing. Y’all may have tried hunting for cryptids together once or twice. Knowledgeable about plants you can eat, so he’ll take you foraging and show you dishes you can make from foraged produce. Loves a good concert and a good party, loves dancing. Not picky about love languages, anything goes for him–quality time, gifts, words of affirmation, acts of service. Even though he’s extremely agile and in touch with his body, past events (read: being possessed and his body being used to do harm) have made him a little hesitant regarding physical intimacy. He wants it, but it takes him a while + a lot of patience & encouragement to make him understand that he will not hurt you/he is not still a pawn of Makuta’s. Once he’s opened up to it, he still prefers not to take the lead, but does seem to develop a kink for fucking in risky places. Little spoon.

No tears left to cry | Klaus's young years #4

This is the 4th one-shot about Klaus and Rin's young years >>> AO3 - Wattpad

In this one-shot, I address Klaus's coping mechanisms, particularly in rehab. TW: References to drug use - Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - Sexuality (non-explicit) - Illness of a loved one.

Summary: Rin is a 20-year-old punk girl born with a strange power that she uses for illegal work: she can teleport, make herself invisible or intangible. Over several nights in police custody, just over a year ago, she met a strange cellmate named Klaus… also endowed with an extremely invasive power: that of communicating with the dead. That day, she walks through the doors of the Lakeshore Hills rehab facility to pick him up after his 30 days.

Excerpt:

"How did you handle the situation this time?"

I was well aware that his seemingly radiant attitude of the moment was possibly in no way representative of the way he had lived his 'stay'. At the half-way appointment and diagnosis, he'd literally been a rumpled old rag. He wouldn't talk about himself. But I knew that - if I asked - he'd share it with me. He shook his head, looking down at his Twinkies, his smile just fading.

"I was allowed to keep my music…"

His headphones were around his neck, and for - all his subsequent rehabs - this remained an absolute constant. Music helped him isolate himself from his power. The one on his walkman, the one at concerts, even the one I sometimes hummed. It wasn't a miracle cure, of course not. But it at least kept him in touch with reality and gave him a kind of endorphin rush capable of briefly damming up the spirits. And similarly, he added:

"…and I always had the option of banging one of those junkies".

It took me a long time to realize that Klaus's power was not only linked to death, but also to life. That this part of him would always be prominent, and that what may seem to the outsiders to be perverse frivolity was in fact as much a part of who he was as being a ghost magnet. One seemed to be able to counterbalance the other, for a while anyway, as if life's impulses could transiently take over: when he was having sex with anyone and for a while afterwards, the effect wasn't that different from a shot of ketamine.

You know how he is. He sought this effect, having undoubtedly rooted one of the many facets of his pansexuality. I always used to say that the 'P' in 'pan' stood - as far as he was concerned - for 'Pleasure', the A for 'Attraction' and the N for 'Necessity'. Unfortunately, we could have continued the list and added that the next S was all too often for 'Sustenance", when he was negotiating a place to sleep or funding for his dope. The final letter L for 'Love' - unfortunately for him - didn't enter the equation until years later, in its romantic meaning anyway. And that story didn't end well.

During the early months of the Ontario Government's experminental GO Transit commuter operation, GP40TC 606 heads up an eastbound commuter train bound for Pickering, seen departing Scarborough GO Station and about to cross the St. Clair Avenue East grade crossing. Commuters and auto traffic patiently wait for the train to clear the multiple-track mainline crossing on CN's busy Kingston Subdivision (a grade separation here would follow a decade later). What we know today as the sprawling GTHA train and bus commuter operator GO Transit was initially launched as a single line (the Lakeshore line, from Oakville to Pickering), run by eight specially-built GMD GP40TC commuter locomotives, an order of 40 single-level commuter cars built by Hawker Siddeley Canada, and nine self-propelled versions intended to handle lighter runs and off-peak service. All of this was envisioned as a forward-thinking trial service by the government of the day to help curb the effects of congestion due to current and future projections of growing automobile traffic coming in and out of downtown Toronto. Its success, coupled with growing suburban sprawl popping up around Toronto, would result in the beginning of a new bus network three years later, and launches of multiple new commuter lines and expansions over the decades that followed.

May challenge day 4! I actually wrote at a decent hour! This one came to me while sitting on the bus thinking about different points in my life.... something really similar happened to me when I was 11 so I just changed the city and made it fit in a One Chicago situation and this was born! Connor's interpretation of the events and present thoughts come from the way I remember this happening and my thoughts on it looking back! As always, it's under the cut and hope you enjoy!

Title: Oh, I just know there is something bigger out there

After meeting Will's dad that one day when he made a house call with the other man. Connor had been thinking of his childhood and just how good he had it. He specifically remembered a time when his sister Claire pushed the envelope.

"Where do you think your going?" Called Dolan Rhodes to his daughter, who had tears in her eyes and a hand on the doorknob of the front door.

"I'm running away! You don't treat me with respect and I don't want to live here anymore!" Yelled 15yr old Claire.

Connor at this time was 11 and didn't know what had made his sister so upset and think of a drastic idea!

"Everyone get in the car." Stated Dolan to his daughter and son, who had appeared around the corner of the wall upstairs on the landing.

"NOW!" He shrieked, which sent the kids running to the SUV that was parked out front.

Driving out of the Gold Coast, Dolan swung onto Lakeshore Drive and began his drive to his secret destination.

Connor watched as they turned onto the expressway. He had no idea where they were going but the roads turned from fun names like Michigan to numbers and the numbers were getting bigger as they drove on. 11year old Connor knew that meant they were going to the rough parts of Chicago...but the question was where?

Soon there dad was entering a bridge with the name Canaryville written on it!

"Where are we going?" Asked Claire. She has calmed down significantly since starting the 30 minute drive but she was still sniffling and tight shoulders.

"To see how good you have it" tight lipped Dolan while turning down a street that had some pretty small single family bungalow homes. Dolan started to slow the car to a roll and when he found a house he wanted to use for his example - a house next to a vacant park that had several neighborhood kids sitting on the steps of the house all chatting - he stopped the car, turned around and looked at his children in the car.

"You can get out."

Claire looked mortified and to be honest, so did Connor. "What?" Voiced Connor after a few seconds of intense eye contact with his dad.

"I said you can get out. You think you have it so hard? Okay then get out. I bet they won't mind having another mouth to feed"

Both his kids shook their heads and he smirked, "that's what I thought" and he began to drive again. Out of the neighborhood and back to the Gold Coast.

"-onnor" called Will, effectively pulling Connor out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" Asked Connor snapping back to the present.

"What were you thinking about?" Asked Will while taking a seat next to the doctor on the break room couch.

"Not important, how's your dad?"

Smiling tightly, Will breathed, "not good. Jay is having a hard time with him being in a coma."

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay, just distract me, what were you thinking about? I don't care how silly it was, I just don't want to think about my dad being in a coma and Jay thinking the last words he will have uddered to him was calling him a prick"

Connor decided to just tell him. So he described the memory exactly how he remembered it and then added, "I know now that he was manipulating us by choosing that exact spot to prove his point. Cause what I've heard from you and Jay yea living in Canaryville wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but you do have fond memories of living over there. And I clearly did have issues in my own family and I lived in the Gold Coast."

Listening contently, Will responded, "I'm glad you can see your dad was wrong in the way he went about handling that situation. I'm sorry that happened to you"

(I'm nervous to post this, so please be nice)

[deerydear]

I painted this after I woke up from a dream.

In this dream... We were out in the middle of a pine forest. There was a log cabin where the other men lived. Doctor Lecter and I were visiting.

We talked, and I sat and endured the conversations they all had. I was trapped in my own little iceberg of self-torment.

As if... all Life would send out its feelers towards me, and then stop, shrink up, and go the other direction...

So they all had tea. It was rather dark in the cabin. There weren't a lot of windows, or else most of them were covered up. No candles. Just a thin stream of gentle blue daylight filtering in from the kitchen, somewhere...

This also reminds me of a dream where I poisoned a bunch of people.

They were all sitting around a round table, eating the food I had cooked.

The people started projectile-vomiting copious amounts of black sludge. It reminded me of Sweeney Todd, for whatever reason.

I think of this, because they had a window behind the kitchen table.... with a criss-cross pattern dividing it up into many little windows. The blinds were down, and the sheer shades were closed. It had much the same effect of light as this room with the men.

So, we had been there for a while... and some of the guests were leaving. Soon, I was alone with Hannibal and one other man.

I was slouched over, in a sour mood... I didn't want to be there. I didn't know where I wanted to be, so I let the moment pull me like a current.

One thing led to another, and I took out a flintlock pistol and I shot the other man. I began to gasp for air, panic. Then, Lecter tried to shush me. He wanted me to relax.

Did I tell you that my name was Graham?

Well, at some point.... my memory turns to sludge.

I ran. I unlatched the door, I ran out into the broad daylight. It was so bright outside. I almost had forgotten. The trees were swaying in the wind...

I came to the rocky lakeshore.

A giant animal stuck its head out of the water. It was a Manatee, chewing sea-grass in the familiar manner of a cow. It had a long, long neck... and it looked at me with familiar affection.

This was a long time ago, but in the state I had been in... I was like a Starving Man in the Land of Plenty. Someone would reach out their hands to me, and I would have run away for dear Life. ......Dear Death?

Did I love Death more than Life?

Well, I was in this mind-state. My mind was grasping for some point of familiarity.... something to right itself upon.

Something to feel like I knew something? To be superior in knowledge...

So, in this disconnected state... I grasped onto the two little pinpricks of light that I saw.

It was like there was a burlap bag over my head, and the holes where the lights came in were stars.

I wanted to create a menagerie of constellations.... of MEANING.

but the truth was that I could take the bag off, and see the full glory of the light, and the picture of the world.

So, in my dream, I tried to put two and two together.

I yelled at this gentle giant. I remember I said, "Plesiosaurs ate fish, not plants!"

My reasoning was that I thought this was supposed to be "the Loch Ness monster" and a common theory was that Nessie was a Plesiosaur. You see all the assumptions I had just made about someone in a dream?

Well, that gentle beast recedes.

It stuck its head back in the water..... and OUT EMERGED A WAXY RED FACE, WITH TWO BIG BLACK HORNS!

OH YES, YOU ASKED FOR A PLESIOSAUR, HAVE YOU SURE GOT ONE!

AND IT CHASED ME AROUND THE SHORELINE WITH ITS LONG, TELESCOPIC NECK!

In the commotion, I woke up.

.......

"I actually saw the Loch Ness monster when I was 9" -- Thom Yorke

SOMEONE ELSE SAW IT!

I really felt like it could have gone differently. I felt very agentive in this dream.

I felt that it was trying to show me something about my own mind.

It wasn't that I was trying to find my way out of the burlap bag... I already knew what life was like outside of it.

I wanted to put my pants on my head, and run around like a retard!

I wanted to play pretend. I wanted to find the meaning in that starry sky. I wanted it to be more than just the inside of a burlap bag!

Maybe once before, I had been shoved inside of a bag... but it was for a brief time, but the experience haunted me.

I kept going back, like an autoerotic-asphyxiator... seeking that high I once felt.

Seeking the dark, dark depths, and the light within the dark... but the light of the dark is no different than the light outside.

It all loops around, you see?

Need For Speed Unbound Review

The most recent entry to the Need For Speed series, Unbound takes place in the fictional city of Lakeshore. You play as your own custom character, racing to earn your place in The Grand, and win back your car that an ex-friend stole from you years prior.

Racing games have never been my passion, but I played NFS Heat a year or so ago and really enjoyed my time with it. I gave the trial for Unbound a try, and fell in love. The game is the perfect blend of arcade-y and realistic, letting you tune your cars as you see fit, right down to whether your tyres are better at gripping or drifting, and the downforce of your car. It's the perfect game to pick up and play, and doesn't require you to spend hours and hours levelling up. You can also feasibly upgrade a B-tier car to an S+ (I took a suped-up A rank to the finals and won first try), and there's plenty of opportunities to make money.

The story is a fairly cut-and-dry betrayal tale, but still threw in a couple twists towards the end that I didn't necessarily see coming. Where the game truly flourishes is the visuals. While the cars and world are very realistic and beautiful, all the characters and driving effects have a cartoony, graffiti-esque artstyle, meaning that it never suffers from any uncanny valley.

The soundtrack is full of modern pop and hip-hop, but I found that muting the in-game music and putting on my own Spotify library made the game 10x more of a vibe.

Overall, NFS Unbound is a Riot for racing enthusiasts and casual enjoyers alike. My only gripe is that the actual story is very short, but the postgame content is a lot more freeform.

9/10

Pros:

- Good story

- Incredible visuals

- Addictive gameplay

Cons:

- Soundtrack wasn't to my taste

- Story a couple hours too short
