It’s after midday when you finally pull into the car park of the hotel where Andre and Danny are staying. It’s a fancy high-rise building beyond anything you and Dean have ever stayed in. Andre knows you well enough to know that you would be freaking out the second you saw it, so went ahead and booked a room for you and refused to tell you the cost.
“At least it looks like he gets paid well to spend all day on that metal death trap in the sky,” Dean says as you get out of the car and admire the highrise building where you’ll be staying for the next few days. 
Opening the trunk he slings both his and your bags over his shoulder and follows you into the lobby. As you approach the entrance the sizeable automatic glass doors slide open, welcoming you into the opulent space. You see Dean’s jaw drop out of the corner of your eye as he takes it all in. Sparkling chandeliers are suspended from the ceiling, casting a warm and inviting glow upon the polished marble floors. The walls are adorned with intricate gold accents and mirrors are strategically placed along the walls to reflect the shimmering lights and create an illusion of endless space. The air is filled with a subtle fragrance, a blend of delicate flowers and the alluring scent of luxury. Soft music plays in the background, adding a touch of sophistication to the bustling atmosphere.
At the centre of the lobby stands a magnificent reception desk, staffed by an impeccably dressed concierge attendant. The desk itself is a work of art, crafted from rich mahogany with intricate carvings and gilded accents. Behind it, a vast wall of cascading water creates a soothing ambience. Just as you’re about to go over to the concierge you hear someone call out your name. You turn towards the voice and spot Andre and Danny walking towards you hand-in-hand. You call out to them and race to them, embracing them in a big bear hug. Dean stands awkwardly a few steps behind you just watching the scene unfold until you pull away and introduce him and Danny to each other. 
Dean’s never been great with letting new people in, but he’s not rude. He stays polite while sticking close by your side. Noticing his slight discomfort you wrap your hand around his arm as Andre and Danny lead you to your room. When you enter the extravagant elevator you notice there are floors for a gym and a pool and sauna; you’ve never stayed somewhere with a pool before, and you don’t even own a swimsuit. You let out a quiet sigh and lean your head against Dean’s shoulder which sends his mind into overdrive with potential plans and secret promises for your future. The elevator finally comes to a stop on the twelfth floor and you all file out. Andre hands you a keycard with the number 1203 written on it. 
“We’ll give you two some time to settle in then I’ll come over to discuss the case,” Andre says.
“Sounds good,” you reply before jogging down the hall to where Dean’s already standing in front of your room.
“What’s got you in such a rush? Can you please try to be a little nicer to my friends?” you say as you unlock the door and walk in. 
Before he can respond you’re running over to the floor-to-ceiling windows offering an unobstructed view, showcasing the dazzling lights of the Las Vegas Strip below you. Your mouth drops open and you can’t help but stare in wonder as you look around the room. It’s not your normal scene, and you’ve never been the type to desire all this opulence, but that doesn’t stop you from wanting to enjoy the next few days. 
The room itself is a sanctuary of indulgence, with plush carpets caressing your feet as you step further inside. The walls are adorned with tasteful artwork, offering glimpses of contemporary masterpieces that add sophistication to the ambience. Soft, ambient lighting casts a warm glow throughout the room, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere.
A king-sized bed commands attention in the centre of the room, draped in linens of the highest quality. Plump pillows and a silky duvet invite you to sink into its embrace. A canopy above the bed, adorned with sheer curtains, adds an element of enchantment and privacy. Dean dumps the bags on the floor and rushes over to you, picking you up and tossing you on the bed before climbing on top of you. You let out a small groan of contentment as the soft mattress conforms to your body. Within seconds he’s attacking your neck and face with kisses. 
Eventually, he stops his attack and rolls onto his back pulling you over to lay on his chest. “This is the treatment you deserve. I wish I could give you this,” he says sullenly as he rubs your back.
“Only if I can have it with you. But I don’t need this, I’m not sure I even want it. I’m not some fancy lady, Dean. I’m a hunter and even when we’re not, I just want normal. A house with enough room for us and our kids and a backyard for them to play in. But it’s nice to experience this just once … with you.”
“It just sucks that this Andre guy can give you more than I can.”
“That’s not true. You give me so much: protection, happiness, love, just to name a few. Those things mean way more to me than a king-size bed and satin sheets. You have no reason to be jealous of Andre. I love you and only you, Dean Winchester.”
You sit up and place a soft, passionate kiss on your fiance’s lips before climbing over him to go to the bathroom. When you open the interior door you’re met with a luxurious bathroom bathed in marble, it boasts a deep soaking tub and a separate rainfall shower, while fluffy towels, robes, and high-end, complimentary toiletries are meticulously arranged on the vanity. You look back over your shoulder with a smirk, “Care to join me?”
“What about the pledge?” he sighs.
“I just thought you might want to join me for the fanciest shower ever, but if you think you can’t control yourself I’ll just enjoy it by myself,” you say as you pull your top off and toss it towards the bed. 
He’s off the bed with his arms wrapped around you in record time. You lead him into the ensuite closing the door behind you. He unclasps your bra letting it drop to the floor before removing his own shirts. You pull away to turn on the shower, then finish stripping yourself seductively and stepping under the rain. He sheds the rest of his clothes and joins you. As he presses his chest to your back you can feel how hard he is already and instantly feel bad for tempting him. 
You reach for the soap but he knocks your hands away and lathers it between his hands instead. He then rubs his hands over your body, starting my massaging your shoulder blades and down your back as you let out soft moans at his touch. His hands then move around your front paying special attention to your breasts. Losing control at the sensation he ruts against you from behind causing you to moan out his name. Gaining back a little control he slides his hands down your stomach to where you now want his most. He crouches down and spins you around so his face is level with your core. 
“Please, Baby, can we forget the pledge? Just say yes,” he sighs out as his hands rub each of your thighs.
You nod but he doesn’t move.
“I need you to use your words for me, Sweetheart. I need to know you’re okay with this. I’ll get out right now if you want.”
“Fuck the pledge. I need you. I want this,” you moan out as you slip your hands into his hair pushing his head closer to where you need him. 
Like a racehorse released from its gate, he delves into you, eating you out like a man starved. He kisses, sucks and nibbles your sensitive bundle of nerves as his hands continue rubbing and digging into your thighs. The amazing, burning sensation in your core grows within seconds and you’re moaning out his name. One hand drags up your inner thigh, higher and higher until his fingers are slipping between your folds and delving into your wet heat. He moans against your core sending vibrations straight through you as two of his fingers slip easily inside. 
You throw your head back in pleasure, moaning, but as you do the water from the rain shower runs directly over your face and down your throat causing you to lean forward and start coughing instead to get the water out of your lungs. Dean shoots to his feet instantly rubbing rough but comforting circles on your back as you cough. He pulls you out from under the stream. After a few seconds, you attempt to take a few deep breaths. You continue to cough sporadically at the feeling of water in your throat and lungs. Dean shuts off the water and leads you out of the shower and carefully dries you with one of the plush white towels before helping you into one of the robes. He then does the same for himself. Once you’re both covered he turns back to you and checks that your breathing is more steady. Satisfied, he pulls you into his chest for a tight hug. 
“I’m sorry,” you mumble into his shoulder. 
He pulls back so he can look you in the eyes. “For what? Almost dying, again? Ruining the moment?” You meekly nod and he shakes his head at you before pulling you close again. “Who would’ve thought … even in the fanciest place shower sex is still complicated as hell. At least my pledge is still intact I guess.” 
Still embarrassed you keep your face buried in his shoulder until he starts sprinkling kisses along any skin he can reach. “Come on, Sweetheart, look at me. These things happen. What about that time in the back of Baby when I smacked your head against the window or when I slipped off the seat? We’ve had our fair share of awkward sexual moments, don’t go getting embarrassed on me now.”
You sheepishly look up at him and he quickly kisses your lips. You break apart when you hear knocking. “I’ll get it. You get dressed, I don’t want him ogling you like this,” Dean says.
“He’s gay,” you call out as Dean walks off to get the door. 
“Don’t care. No one gets to see me girl like this except me.”
You laugh at him as you grab a change of clothes and retreat back into the bathroom. Once he hears the ensuite door shut he opens the hotel room door and welcomes Andre in. 
“It’s good to see the two of you are enjoying the amenities,” Andre says gesturing towards the robe Dean’s still dressed in. “I guess I should say thanks for this, especially for Y/N, she really deserves this. I’m glad you let me in on it as well.”
“You make her happy man. I used to hunt with her, I was there after she lost her family, I’ve seen her at her worst, and after recent events so have you. But I have never seen her as happy as she is when she’s with you. So, thank you. Just please, get her out of this life. If you’re not willing to leave, love her enough to set her free.” 
Just as Dean’s about to reply you walk out of the bathroom in jeans and a plain black t-shirt. “Hey Andre,” you say as you join them in the entranceway. You reach for Dean’s hand but he pulls away and rummages through his bag before retreating into the ensuite. You send him a confused look before leading Andre to the small lounge area at the end of the bed. You take a seat on the plush two-seater lounge while Andre opts for the single armchair. 
“You really have outdone yourself, this place is amazing. You sure you don’t want us to reimburse you at all?”
“Did monster hunting start paying?”
“Well, no, but-”
“Then no. Save your money for when you tie the knot, get out and start a family.”
“I believe we have a case to talk about first…”
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
A/N: I hope Dean doesn’t take Andre’s threat too seriously…

Drizzle Season 2023 is out for Splatoon 3. You know what that means?
(Long post warning)
It means me having the totally normal immediate reaction of, "what new ingame content can I use as inspiration for Humanity's Endling and it's side stories?"
This post is gonna sorta double as both a very surface level analysis of new stuff in Splatoon 3 (mainly the new maps) and a brief look into my creative process for how I go about taking what's shown in the game and applying it to the canon of the world Kaleb finds himself in. One of my goals is to keep what happens in HE as close to the canon as presented in the game as possible, while still making very healthy use of the blank space that is things the games nor extended lore don't necessarily address, and quite obviously bending the rules a bit here and there to make the story... well, happen? 'Cause if I were 100% dedicated to preserving canon, the series would look something like this.
Tumblr media
they wasn't lyin, them humanitys really do be endling
Jokes aside, basically what all that means is I enjoy filling in the blanks to make the game world feel more full. Like, if possible, I wanna have the series written in a way where you could easily headcanon it as something that's happening in the background of Splatoon 3 as you are playing it.
...At least until we get to the later acts. HE ain't just a slice of life. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves here :)
But as that statement ominously implies, I have a general idea of the overarching plot for all five acts, and the process of writing is basically me ironing out the details and stringing it together into a cohesive narrative. Luckily for me, details are sometimes filled in for me by Nintendo. Speaking of which, let's look at Crableg Capital!
Tumblr media
You can kind of already see it just barely peeking from behind the crane on the right, but Hagglefish Market is visible from up here, and they actually added this stage into the background of Hagglefish as well, so you can actually see it from down there, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From up here, you can more or less make out the exact route Kaleb came from in Act I, Ch7
I know for certain Crableg wasn't there before; I spent a frankly weird amount of hours doing recon on Hagglefish for Act I. Can't wait for this to become some New Mandela Effect meme or something. Anyways, you can see from up here that there's a lot of green grass in this city that's meant to be in the middle of a desert, so I kinda have this feeling that an ungodly amount of the city's water supply is fed right into keeping that greenery. I can see Kaleb drawing a comparison to Dubai, or maybe even Las Vegas to a lesser extent. Speaking of Vegas, you know what it has? Tons of ads. You know what this stage also has? Tons of ads!
shoutout to the paragliding jellyfish btw
Okay, well, obviously it's nowhere near as bad as Vegas. But I needed a segue, dammit. Now to be fair, I can't read any of these signs, so they might not actually be ads. Like, clearly at least a couple of them are company logos on the bigger skyscrapers. But the concrete building at the end of the clip? I don't know what those signs would be otherwise.
Like, who are they advertising to? The people in the neighboring buildings? The ads face outward, so it couldn't be that. Maybe it's extremely cheap ad space because basically nobody would see it, but then whatever in-universe powers that be decide these stages decided, "yes. of course. the actively under construction highrise. the perfect spot." I'd imagine that ad space probably skyrocketed in value, because there's no way these ink sports aren't televised to at least some capacity in canon.
Speaking of absurd spots for stages...
Tumblr media
Shipshape Cargo Co. At first, it looks like you're on some platform underneath an oil rig or something to that nature. Then you realize that you're somehow moving. Then you notice the bow of the ship on the far end of the stage, then it's like, "Oh shit I'm on one of those half-submersible cargo ships!"
Tumblr media
So not only did the folks running these ink sports decide that an active construction zone was a good spot for a stage, but they also decided to set up a stage on the back of a presumably en-route freight ship. And it's far enough north for there to be goddamn icebergs floating around. If anything, this season's maps have convinced me that an organization equivalent to OSHA does not fucking exist in the Splatoon universe. I'm aware that culturally, turf wars were at first backstreet sports and very unofficial/disorganized, and also there were stages in Splatoon 1 and 2 that would raise the same concerns (i.e. old Hammerhead Bridge, Saltspray Rig, Piranha Pit, etc.), so I really shouldn't be surprised by all this, but... I dunno, it's almost 4 am at the time of writing.
I don't have much more to say about Shipshape, though. Like, it's a very cool concept for a map, and if for whatever reason I need Kaleb to freeze to death, I'll have it in mind. Crableg is... very helpful, though.
Y'know, isn't it interesting that a lot of stories end with the hero scaling a huge tower?
Just a thought. 🙂*
Oh yeah, I also spotted this in the catalogue!
Tumblr media
Lola got to be a model! I'm so proud of her! 🥰
I don't have much else to say right now, though. I might do a follow-up for Big Run if Um'ami Ruins has a cool enough atmosphere to warrant it; otherwise Undertow Spillway having that alarm blaring during the last Big Run was the coolest shit ever and I can't believe I accidentally predicted it as a stage w/ it being half flooded in Act I.
By the way, I am going to be grinding the shit out of this upcoming Big Run for that gold helicopter figure, so if you wanna play with me, I'm still in the 'Endling' pool. Again, if you spot Lola herself, that's me! I tend to go pretty hard in Salmon Run though as it's actually my favorite mode, so uh... if you're not EVP and you join me, it might average out the hazard level to something a lot harder than you may be used to. So fair warning!
*all ominous foreshadowing is subject to change

Elevated Pools - High Rise Custom Swimming Pools by Hydrologic Blog

Elevated Pools - High Rise Custom Swimming Pools by Hydrologic Blog
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The design of an elevated swimming pool or water feature is not inherently complicated, dangerous or even necessarily problematic, but it does include some interesting challenges that can be terribly unforgiving of ignorance or neglect. Some basic issues that should be considered whenever such a design is undertaken include the following.
Pool Shell Design and Construction
Weight of pool and equipment: The weight of water alone is about 62 pounds per cubic foot. The load of the water, pool shell and structural containment can easily total 350 pounds per square foot or more, depending upon the structure and the actual water depth. A careful structural analysis will be required.
Double shell pool/water feature construction: There are two generally accepted approaches to the construction of elevated pools and water features. Both entail the construction of a waterproofed structural well within which will be constructed the pool shell or liner. The first approach of which would be cast-in-place concrete (CIP) or shotcrete and the second of which is stainless steel. Although it is theoretically possible to construct the structural well neat to pool dimensions, a high level of coordination would be required of the structural concrete sub-contractor to insure all pool allowances for finishes, piping sleeves, lights and equipment make this approach very difficult to accomplish, most oversize the structural support.
Stainless steel pools: The use of stainless steel seems an obvious choice for elevated pools and water features because of its durability and, if properly constructed, water tightness. The stainless can either be left unfinished and bare or provided with an applied finish. Maintenance of the polished surface of the stainless can be an issue, and several health departments require that it be finished for reasons ranging from both color to slip resistance.
Finishes: Tile is an obvious choice, and very popular for this application for both durability and aesthetics. Several stainless manufacturers also offer an adhered sheet vinyl or PVC finish that may have applicability depending upon budget. Stainless is often nominally more expensive than a concrete solution, although regional preferences may make it the only viable choice. Also, some creative design solutions may find translation with stainless difficult to achieve. Further, if stainless is being used above occupied or in otherwise acoustically sensitive applications, it is recommended that an acoustical engineer be consulted; there is an increased potential for the transmission of noise through stainless.
Waterproofing
One of the major keys to successful elevated pool and water feature design is effective waterproofing.  Two layers of waterproofing should be considered, one at the structural level and the other at the finish level.
The structural or primary waterproofing system should include the entire natatorium or pool/water feature area, including the well within which the pool or water feature shell is to be constructed, the surrounding deck as well as all ancillary areas anticipated to be wet.  The waterproofing material should be consistent with the application, coordinated with and if possible compatible with the secondary waterproofing material under the pool finishes.
The Architect is typically responsible for the base waterproofing system.  A drain or drains should be provided at the lowest point at the structural or primary level of waterproofing to carry away leakage and relieve hydrostatic pressure, if any.  This drain should daylight at some point, or be provided with a sight-glass, in order to monitor leakage.
With a stainless solution, this second level of waterproofing is the stainless steel shell itself. No other waterproofing should be required.
With a concrete solution, a waterproofing system will be specified that will maximize the compatibility between substrate and finishes.
Leaks, although rare, remain a possibility. Ideally Piping or conduit should be located in a drained containment area, if not possible, the use of drip pans under the pool and piping may be considered.
Ample overflow and/or deck drainage capacity at least equal to the makeup water flow should be provided. On high rise applications, the potential for sway should be considered and appropriate measures taken to contain any consequent slosh.
In summary, successful elevated pools and/or water feature design depends upon meeting the inherent challenges and demands of structure, appropriate material selection, waterproofing, drainage and acoustical control.
Elevated Swimming Pool Design Comments by Clarity Pool Service
Clarity Pool Services found this amazing article at http://hydrologicblog.com/
We decided to repost this article here at the Clarity Pool Service website due to the unique and downright interesting nature, as custom swimming pool contractors, we’ve yet to have the opportunity to build a high rise or elevated swimming pool design. It piques our interest, though, and if ever offered the chance, well with great power comes great responsibility, and that is all on the subject of building a project such as a highrise custom swimming pool. We want to thank Staci Pye of the Hydro+Logic Blog, and we appreciate the article as well as the insight on this complicated subject. You can find the original article by Staci Pye here at http://hydrologicblog.com/elevated-pools/
