DRAWTECTIVES SEASON 3 TRAILER HOW ARE WE FEELING

THE NOISE I MADE. I WAS CREAKING LIKE AN UNOILED GATE. I WAS SQUEALING LIKE A TEAPOT. IT LOOKS SOOOOOO GOOD IM SO EXCITED

GMA WITH A BUN. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM. AND THE BUCKETFULS OF GENDER THEY BRING

Also the fact that "orcish prince" was highlighted in the trailer makes me think we might get some more wild York lore???? Which I'm INCREDIBLY excited for

Can't wait to see new Rosé design and send it to my sister and be like "you thought she was pretty before take a fuckin look at THIS"

AND JANCY'S THERE AND EUGENE IS THUMBNAIL AND AHHHHHHHHHH

IM SO EXCITED. COMING IN DECEMBER THATS SO SOON. AHHHHHHHH

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

Okay I literally never do this but episode 7 was so good I gotta do an episode review.

Spoilers ahead obviously

First things out of the way: FUCK FUCK WHY IS SHE HERE FUCK OH MY GOD JESUS CHRIST. When she slammed Mark into that crater I legit began hyperventilating (albeit very lightly). I was so not ready for her to show up and oh my god, the terror conveyed in Zazie's voice acting was legit. That fight scene absolutely kicked ass though, I got hyped as hell when Mark dropped that "no". Now that she's in the show I really hope she doesn't garner any fans because WOW they are gonna be in for a shock. And lastly FUCK YEAH ALLEN KICK HER ASS.

The breakup scene was fantastic. The episode focusing on so much of their relationship kinda made it clear something was gonna happen but when Mark changed up his schedule for her I was like "oh that's really nice" and then she showed up. As I said that was all fantastic, from Cecil's panicking to Amber's terror the presentation was great. Although now that they're broken up, I really hope they go somewhere else with Amber that isn't... that storyline.

REX IS THE GOAT. I love how he just tells Mark "pick a day and we'll cover for you". An absolute bro for sure, I'm loving his character arc. Can't wait for everyone to learn his origin and be like "oh shit" like after Eve's special. Speaking of which, do ya think we're gonna get a Rex-focused special about his origin like we did Eve?

Donald talking Rick down from the ledge and learning about himself in doing so was fantastic. We stan Donald. And man, am I glad they replaced Justin. Like, I know they had to after his actions came to light but also if I'm being honest I despised Rick's voice. Justin was good for silly characters but if I had to listen to him try to do the emotional segments I would've pulled a Rick (sanchez) and put my head in a lazer.

Still don't like Immortal's sad arc. Don't get me wrong, they're doing an awesome job with everything post Kate's "death" but the fact that we literally never saw anything more of their relationship than a shower fuck kinda makes it hard to feel anything when he talks about how sad he is.

Last but not least, OH SHIT OH FUCK IT'S HIM IT'S... *checks notes* Langstrom Sleazy...?

Look I'm sorry I like Angstrom and that end reveal was AWESOME and I am so scared and excited for what's definitely gonna be the plot of season 3 but also I can never remember his fucking name for the life of me and I have no idea why.

Anyway with Anissa here at least that means Thragg's not far behind. Hell we might see him next episode what with the whole prison thing.

[blood-gulch]

grace blood-gulch's s14 episode ranking list because i am so special and have lots of thoughts on every episode ever :)

Tier 1 - legitimately good quality content i recommend viewing

Room Zero - as someone who was personally Waiting those multiple years to see that rvb animated episode be finished i was so excited by this one. also i just love the animation + attention to character details in the og one. even though it doesnt really add much to that original base, newer fans should watch it to appreciate the animation cuz its cute. especially fond of every character detail moment like church running backward and using his hand to slide or the earliest iteration of grif being canonically animated as fat. idk i love it a lot and i think its p cute and well worth the watch. it's also the first episodically which is neat. good opener for s14.

The Brick Gulch Chronicles - look its stop motion lego and its cute as fuuuuuuck. the plot being sarges bday is adorable. literally awesome.

Fight the Good Fight - okay i just find it cute and quirky and generally enjoyed watching it quite a bit :) it made me laugh. the [Red] team gag was good. it reminded me of the similar gag from the simpsons in the kamp krusty episode. my dad always makes jokes about that specific gag so ahh. definitely worth the watch but understandable to skip.

Caboose's Guide to Making Friends - its just really fucking cute idfk

Head Cannon - This one's just really funny and also adds on to a scene that already was fun in a good way. Enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Get Bent - I wish sarge was still an old woman but dykenut and church bisexuality balances it out. i also wish we had female tucker. it makes me sad we didnt get female tucker.

Red vs. Blue the Musical - The reds' song is about weapons and the blues' song is about church killing himself. 10/10. no notes. perfect summation of rvb in like 10 minutes.

Mr. Red vs Mr. Blue - genuinely delightful like a distilled everything i like about tucker. he's really fun here. also sister is fun here.

The Triplets & The "Mission" - The triplets own hard. the scene with wash connie and south at the end always makes me smile. ohio girl youre fucking crazy but youre everything. I love you.

Tier 2 - Decent content. You can skip but still somewhat worth ur time.

From Stumbled Beginnings and Why They're Here - Mostly fun. Asterisk mostly. There's an episode between these two that's technically an episode trilogy you should skip. Otherwise is pretty fun.

The #1 Movie in the Galaxy: 3 - This is silly and fun. I enjoyed it. It's also short.

Meta vs Carolina: Dawn of Awesome - look man its a death battle. if you like death battle youll have fun. if you hate death battle you can skip it. shoutout sarge deadbeat dad implications though. i cant even be mad its just not the character id expect them to do that to...

Grey vs Gray - i found it fun :) nothing stand out tho. skippable but not egregiously bad.

Immersion: The Warthog Flip - Look if you Like seeing science stuff yeah its a good watch. if you dont like that you can skip it. I like the math and science though. you don't lose anything in skipping though.

Tier 3 - Meh

Orange is the New Red & Invaders from Another Mother - theyre not bad but aged... poorly. i thought they were funny when i was younger but i watched funhaus actively then. i dont know how this would fare to a non-FH fan. Desert Dance [Spins]

Red vs. Blue vs. Roosterteeth - I KNOWWWWW THERES A LOT OF NOSTALGIA its just .... not very funny. its creators meeting their characters but its also odd in a strange way. you can watch it if youre curious enough. i liked the end voice over of s14 a lot tho so like maybe watch it and if youre bored skip to the end lol

Tier 4 - Drink a lot or watch with friends to experience enjoyment

Club, Call, & Consequences - look man the only way youre enjoying this is if you are a hardcore lolix guy or you are wasted out of your mindddd. im sorry who the fuck is siris. i honest to god thought siris was a bit as a joke on the whole thing of "grif simmons and hammer" from earlier. they never even mention siris again. who the fuck is siris. i felt like i was like lied to or something . sorry siris is so fucking funny. well he didnt have a personality but thats ok. i dont know if he actually exists.

RvB Throwdown - Get Miles Luna out of the booth. never let him rap again.

Tier 5 - Bad. Skip it.

Fifty Shades of Red - Fifty Shades of Red has possibly one of the worst jokes in the series that immediately assassinates Tucker into a pretty fucking awful light and retroactively ruins his character for the preceding 13 seasons. I honestly recommend skipping Fifty Shades of Red to avoid that one tucker joke. its not necessary and contributes nothing. The rest of the episode is fine and on the level of stumbled beginnings & why theyre here. but god that one joke is so bad i can't in good faith recommend it. it just leaves me fuming LOL i could write an essay as it being the origin point of post s13 writers room tucker hate where they start trying to make him an irredeemable asshole & dont understand his whole deal for the rest of the series.

[phone-kisser]

A large collection of small rants about games/series/franchises that have changed my life

Why so serious. So anyway howdy my freaky fellows, today I'm gonna be doing 4-5 sentence (Probably more. Do I even know myself?) rants about games/series/franchises that have changed my life. You know this. You read the title. Obviously. Unless you didn't. Then you're stupid. Stupid dummy dum-dum.

Kidding, love you all thank you for all the support it genuinely means the world to me and oh god I'm rambling just stop talking

[CLEARS THROAT AGGRESSIVELY]

So we're gonna start with a game that I stumbled upon accidentally and has made a huge mark on my life and honestly my personality as well.

DIALTOWN:

WOWZERS, THIS GAME WAS INCREDIBLE. I didn't even MEAN to find it, I was looking for DDLC and I searched 'dating sim' on steam and it popped up. I thought "fuck it, I'm buyin' it" and now here I am. I spent half of my summer staying up until morning just trying to get all of the endings and achievements, and holy shit was it worth it. That game made me laugh and sob and scream into my pillow all in the span of 5 minutes. Chapter three was incredible, the emotions you can convey without even seeing facial expressions is honestly so awesome to me. Norm is a HUGE comfort character for me. (I GOT HIM IN THE SOULMATE QUIZ‼️) I'm so excited for the DLC to come out, and hopefully I'll get the Mingus plushie and any more that get re-released or any new ones!

Next is another game (or game trilogy, I suppose) that I didn't really mean to come by. Luckily I have a stupid brother that introduces me to things I never thought I'd enjoy.

DAYSHIFT AT FREDDY'S:

Wow, would you look at that, another game series by the hound himself! Now, I didn't have a computer until about half a year ago. Got one for my birthday. I found out about this game LONG before Dialtown. So it took me a while to actually play the game. But I had seen fanart, playthroughs, analysis...es? And a lot more. I was obsessed with davesport for months before I even got to play the game. But when I finally did play it, I was SO excited, and for good reason. This game got me into FNaF fangames, and introduced me to my weird thing for phone men. The third game made me sob my eyes out the first time I played it through the good ending. Yet another example of a game that had me giggling one moment and bawling the next. WHY DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO SUFFER, DOGGO??/silly (ily man. keep doin the do.)

Up next is THE original.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S:

Wow. Now THIS is a game that left a mark on me. Got me into indie horror. I first played the game with my brother when I was like 6 I think?? It scared the piss outta me then, but over the years I learned to love it. I damn sure made a lot of cringe fanart when I was like 10..... But hey, it was fun. I kinda miss those times, even if I was seen as extremely weird for it. Thanks for years of fun, Scott. Couldn't have made it through life in my household without you.

Up next is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SIDE-SCROLLER.

CUPHEAD:

I love this game SO much. I first watched my dad play it on his computer, and he let me make my own save file! I wasn't very good for a long time, and I'll be honest, I'm still not exactly a professional. But it's fun, and practice makes perfect, right? I always chose Mugman, while my brother chose Cuphead. We would pretend we were the characters, and it was one of the only times I ever used to bond with him. Thanks for bringing me and my goober brother closer together, Cuphead.

MINECRAFT:

This game at least deserves a sentence or two. It's still one of my favorite games to play when I need to relax. I love making worlds with my siblings and building silly stuff with them.

ANIMAL CROSSING:

I spent weeks on this game. Probably even months. Maybe even a year or two. I don't play it as much anymore, but I still like to visit my island and see how my little villagers are doin every once in a while. Still pissed that I could never find Raymond, though. I tried so many times to find that silly little cat. I still do every so often. I'll get you eventually, Raymond. Mark my words.....

Moving on from games now. Let's talk about TELEVISION!

GRAVITY FALLS:

Wow. Just wow. What is there to even say? I love this show so very much. It makes me cry every time without fail. The fandom has its bad sides, but overall I love being apart of it. The Stan twins are my beloved babies and I will never let them go.

RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:

Now THIS is a show that left a HUGE mark on me. Hell, I even changed my name to Donnie for almost a year... I don't like to think about this phase. But this show is amazing, it was the reason I'm friends with a lot of my friends to this day. It deserves to get a re-run, even more seasons. Top tier show, would recommend.

EDDSWORLD:

This show HEAVILY influenced my artstyle and a lot of my general humor. I've been obsessed with it off and on for a few years now, and it's a great show. It's silly and fun, and it's ALSO a reason I'm friends with a few of my best friends.

That's it for now, folks!! Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I might do another one of these, depends on how I feel about it. Hope you enjoyed my yaptastic yapping session.

Have a great morning, afternoon, evening or night!!! Love you all!!!!!

Today’s portion! Some asks about the Floyd/Epel comic from yesterday, about the Jack/Deuce drawing from the day before, and some other stuff~

Anonymous asked:

Epel looking like a straight up gremlin when Floyd enters

Oh and he is one! He’s way too excited to have this type of teamwork with Floyd~

Baiting people and then messing them up together with a huge cool guy? Sounds like the best date ever

Anonymous asked:

Great seven those thighs! 🤤 their bigger than Deuces head and probably mine too! Gods I want to see Deuce whimpering underneath that behemoth of a man, just trapped with those legs and arms trapping Deuce under Jack 🤤 it’d be so fucking hot and Deuce would be wrecked, wouldn’t be able to run for weeks

+

Anonymous asked:

When will you draw Jack railing Deuce we want to see!!!

Hehehehe HEH I’m so happy that drawing made you feel things, Anons lol Honestly, this is exactly why it exists: we saw Deuce’s new card, and then remembered Jack’s card, and then looked at the two of them together with their absolutely gorgeous differences in size and other things and it’s just… way too good not to squish the two together and dream about them making out sloppily and awkwardly lol and of course Deuce needs to get railed by that behemoth of a man (wow that’s an awesome phrase) ASAP

That being said, I don’t know when I’m going to draw it. To be completely honest, the more I get asked to draw something, the less likely I am to do it lol SORRY, but we’ll see. Maybe it’ll happen in a week, maybe it’ll happen in a year… can’t predict these things. I didn’t even tag my previous art with them with a ship tag because we didn’t plan on ever drawing them again... and then this happened lol

Anonymous asked:

what are your exceptions that you mentioned in the post for the whys and hows of bottom and top? i remember you had a hard time placing Malleus and Rollo, but not actual exceptions

There are no exceptions, Anon. I mentioned that exceptions are not completely impossible, but super unlikely: we haven’t had a single one yet, as far as I remember.

I mentioned it just to note that they are possible in theory for extremely specific, special situations. We don’t know what kind of characters and dynamics await us in the future, and a lot of what we love is decided by our gut feeling; so a certain character that technically aligns with the “bottom” type might turn out to be a top due to their unique characteristics and circumstances.

But once again, I mean it in theory. Our whim is more important to us than any type of categorized list, no matter how nuanced it is and how well it represents our tastes and tendencies.

I hope that makes sense.

Anonymous asked:

Say, do you have any headcanons for a scenario where Kalim overblots after the events of chapter four?

Nope, sorry, Anon :( Just like I said in a reply from just the other day: can’t quite picture Kalim overblotting because of the ch4 events. I’m sure there are people who have written about this topic, but I’ll just do it a disservice if I try to force it, at least for now.

Anonymous asked:

Any thoughts Kalim x Epel? (Yes, I am just pulling random ships out of my ass.)

Hmmm~ I don’t think I have any thoughts about them, I don’t remember their interactions aside from the ch5 ones. They would probably have fun together though, once Epel stops feeling shy and kinda awkward around Kalim.

Oh RIGHT!! Epel would absolutely love the magic carpet ride! This is going to be their date lol And his love for speed and the tickling sensation in his stomach would enable Kalim to do some insane tricks and swirls and turns and flips with the carpet, which is SUPER dangerous, but also SUPER fun.

[tobiasdrake]

An audience in the sky. We've done weirder things, to be sure.

Their feet look like shoes. Are they wearing bodysuits or are they just... like that? Are they statue people? I have so many questions.

Do you want to do the talking, Garl? I might just wind up making offensive inquiries if I do it.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN YOUR CHEST

Oh shit, that means they can hear me muttering too. >.< "Boy, these weird-ass bodysuit cloud giants and their confusing architectural choices sure are very normal and fine!"

There you go, buddy. The Oracles already know it, but we gotta make sure everyone far and wide hears the legends of the greatest Warrior Cook who ever lived. I want people reading your fable and being inspired to master the frying pan long after you're gone.

...okay, the last time someone singled out one of my friends for an attribute like this, I wound up threatening to drown a fish. I hope we're not about to go down that road again.

Because I'm protective of Serai, but I am very protective of Garl.

Is this a big request? Gonna be honest, the answer to that question is no. We have no idea what we're asking. We just know that we need to do it so that I can strangle an asshole with his own tendrils.

Please, wise council, assist me in carrying out retaliatory violence against a godlike entity who was, himself, simply taking fair compensation for the incredible amounts of cheating we were doing!

Does. Does the goddess Luana not count or something? I'm pretty sure I just vouched for him a moment ago and we're all pretty convinced that I'm Luana. I might even actually be, who knows? So.

MIC. DROP. That's right, we speak with HIS authority!

Resh'an: She does not speak with my authority.

Garl has a full-ass god squad plus whatever Serai is! Truly, there has never been a mortal being in this or any timeline more blessed than he, so clench up your colossus-holes and sit up straight! You are in the presence of greatness.

Hold up, what?

Huh. We didn't even know the Vespertine was important. I guess we're just.... very prolific looters....

You got any other trials to obtain shit I've already swiped?

*proudly* We got so pissed off one time that we turned into balls and flew away. We have not been able to do it again, nor do we have any idea how we did it, but we DID and that makes us pretty awesome.

I'm. Not sure. Why that's an answer to the question but apparently it is. Good job, Serai. Fantastic job of doing whatever it is that you did.

I'm curious about that myself. Garl, you said you had some idea of a thing you could offer but this was all coming straight out of your visions so... how's this going to work?

And does your Borrowed Time expire once we get the approval, or after we do whatever we have to do to get the approval approval? I need to know if you're going to suddenly drop dead and flip over that railing the second this conversation's done.

(Which, also, by the way: Railings. See, Moraine? Was that so hard?)

I REGRET EVERYTHING WHY ARE WE DOING THIS

Garl's Elder Mist prophecy did say he would soothe a long-tormented soul. I wrote it off as referring to Malkomud but if it's still in effect, then that's another one he has to complete before he can die.

Yeah, that one. That's the one.

He also told you to be mindful of your limitations but you still insisted on getting shot for me, you selfless fuck. T-T

I only about 80% understand what they're talking about (Thanks, Teaks! It was in the Sleeper's fable!) but this is the boldest thing we've ever done. And we've done some bold-ass shit.

I love it. I'm excited to be a part of it. We should probably let the molekin know that we may or may not be about to wreak utter annihilation upon their entire civilization and they do not get a voice in the matter.

[til-f]

EPISODE 2 WITH SPOILERS

BTW there were some cute ass shots of Walker in this one. He just exudes percy vibes and I'm loving it. I like how vengeful he is about his mother. I like that he wants to be powerful.

PROS:

-there were some parts that made me LOL. Nice. The books are so funny. I want all the funny.

-Camp is cool. The cabins are cool. The campers are cool. I like the armour and the pavilions and the fires.

-The fighting is done really well and that makes me happy

-the claiming scene was awesome. The fight with clarisse was awesome.

-Clarisse is hot

-Overall, at the end of the episode, the plot holds true.

CONS:

-The scene were Mr. D tries to convince percy that he's his dad. Funny for a second there, but then it just got weird. Like why. also dionysus is a little strange to be honest. literally in the books he doesn't give a fuck and plays pinochle all day. and now he's yelling at percy that he's gotta go on this quest to save the world. Like, Mr. D wanted to turn percy into a dolphin lol

-The bathroom scene was meh

-I was looking forward to the claim scene when the camp bowed to percy and Chiron said "hail, Perseus Jackson." So that was a tad disappointing. But as I mentioned in the pros, I still think the scene was done really well and this is a small complaint.

-another small complaint, but one that I've been peeved about since the trailers came out. WHY IS RIPTIDE LIKE, ONE FOOT LONG? It's a freaking sword, not a steak knife. God damn. Give this little boy a three foot long sword.

-I'll be honest, that yes, even though at the end of the episode, the overall plot was pretty much consistent with the books, I didn't understand why they veered from: grover meeting with the cloven elders, and they tell him that he has one last try to get his searcher's license. (WHICH ACTUALLY, IS A DECENT BIT FROM THE PLOT THAT'S MISSING SO FAR BUT IT'S NOT THAT BAD) And percy, who still thinks that his mother is dead, is resolved to go to the underworld REGARDLESS and bring her back to life. Percy wants to wring hades' neck. INSTEAD they do this weird thing where percy doesn't want to go on the quest until grover tells him that his mom is still alive. Like, I don't know. Sure, I guess. Just seems random.

Other notes:

Please know that all the criticism is just because I care a LOT, and shows that have any meaning to them, honestly, anything that creates controversy, means that people care. To stir the pot and do something to get people roused, is the only way we know we're alive.

And I cannot thank the makers of this show enough that they're doing this, and I am literally so excited for the next episode :) and for the rest of the season. AND FOR THE NEXT SEASONS!!!!

[bonecrowneddoe]

Hello! You'll liked the post about my faaaaaaaavourite Pokémon, so you know what? Here, have my favourite starters!

Scorbunny:

First thing first, *amazing* first form!! It's such an excitable little guy! He's going to rumble to you about his football match! Gods he is *adorable*, exactly what a first form should be!

I'll be honest with you? This right here is my favourite of the thre stages and my second favourite starter stage(we'll get to the first soon). The little football Loving kid grow up into an edgy, compatative teen who pretends he doesn't actually enjoy his hobby-that's the vibe I get, at least-and just... that's so cute!! He's so cute!! He has a little scarf! Unironically 10/10 design, sorry.

And finally-look at that!! The cute lil man is now an actual pro footballer, and he has a little hot pants and shoes! It's so nice to see him go from excited little kid to actually doing football, and I love that, while he keeps the serious expression, he's clearly enjoying the sport again! It's my least favourite of the three but it is good.

Fennekin:

Ah, my favourite starter line. They are so cool!! Foxes are already one of my favourite irl animals, and as you can see I love most-*most!*- of the fire types, so they are just so up my alley. Also I never got the "head too big" criticism. Like, yes, it is a little big, but that's how it is with a lot of animals. Also half the reason why it's head is so big is the ear fluff, and that's the cutest part of it.

Ah yes, the Lil witch! I honestly don't like how many Pokémon get bipedal when they evolve, but it works very well with this line, for me at least. As I said, it's a Lil apprentice witch, not yet a full blown magic user but it's working hard and it's going to be an excellent witch!

And it is! It's the greatest witch! A fox witch!! This right here is my favourite starter Pokémon, gay up. The fur robe is really cool, the fiery ears are fucking awesome, and the wand-bro, the wand! Watch out, it's gonna blow a blast of fire at you!! It looks really powerful and also really pretty, and It just resonates with me really well.

So, those were my opinions on those, I hope you enjoyed, and if not, I am very sorry! :3

Oh shit here we go

LK 101 - Boston Spilling the Tea Party (part one)

pt pt2 pt3

Lets be honest, the real reason this series exists: Walter Cronkite as Benji Franx.

why is there only one dude on what appears to be a fucking *frigate* I mean I know why, animation budget, but my point stans

Also fuckin seizure warning on the Atlantic, brah.

Cluny the Scourge just hanging out on what I'm assuming is Sarah's bed? Or is that just her pet. Did she have a beloved pet rat?? Was she a rat girl??? This has caused more questions.

Is this her room?? Why is there a bed belowdecks like this? why is her room so massive?? Am I looking too hard into a DIC cartoon?

I love how this girl just canonically vibes with chaos. Alone, 15 years old, going to the colonies, in a fucking storm that even the grizzled sailors are freaked out by, and she's writing to her mom how exciting everything is. She's either dissociating like a champ or she's a legend. Also how are you not seasick??? Oh right you're an accomplished rider and horse girl you got that inner ear

Not gonna lie though, listening to this girl talk about her dad coming home from the wilderness and how they're all gonna have an awesome life is kind of sad. Oh, honeyyyyy. No. Can you imagine being her mom and getting all these letters? Oh god now I've made up more headcanons.

she really has the worst luck with ships, doesn't she.

SuCh SyMbOlIsM

This dork. Also why is his collar so fucking open jfc.

In this house we stan Exasperated Dad!Moses

"When someone wants to know what's on my shirt I can sell 'em a newspaper!" is the kind of idea I'd expect from an ADHD/PTSD madlad. I feel like both Sarah and James vibe and thrive off chaos, but only one of them has a balanced inner ear.

Gotta love Eager Beaver getting knocked down a peg by Exasperated Dad.

The *flair.* The *drama.* The *exasperated and slightly amused adult*

aaaaaaaaaaay the French Fry! The Brains! The feral younger sibling! The one I vibed with the hardest as a feral younger sibling!

Henri: Bitch I'd do it again!!!!

Dear writers: why the fuck did you set up an enemies-to friends-to lovers pipeline so hard like this.

oh my gOdD Moses is such a dilf

Ok is it just me or did they design her as a redhead in the beginning and slowly lighten her to strawberry blonde later on, or am I just losing my mind.

do you think they boinked. Dirty Old Man Franklin absolutely tried to make a move on Lady Phillips.

We all worry about your feral daughter, Lady Phillips.

AND WE'RE ON NICKNAME TERMS? Yeah they boinked.

Sir. SIR. Two of those associates are children.

THEY FUCKING. BOINKED. NEW SHIP FRANKLIN/LADY PHILLIPS WE CALL IT FRILLIPS OH MY GOD NO WAIT THEY'RE A POLYCULE.

They'd absolutely get hammered and watch a Pats game, I'm a little disappointed the directors didn't tell the voice actors to lean into the New England accent. Also why does the guy on the left look like Peter Griffin.

It can't be Boston, there aren't nearly enough maniacal drivers with homicidal intent

*there* it is.

Damn this dude got REAL into it.

He just. Hops over tea chests and pulls himself up over a ship. To interview people. Fucking madlad.

Henri is getting *into it* feral frenchman child.

I don't think that's a normal response. That abandonment/orphandom PTSD does things to a brain.

well somebody sure had fun discovering After Effects transitions.

Yeah your ship's cool and all but does your ship have a meetcute that involves blunt force trauma with weaponized literature.

My Overall Thoughts on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Okay. This is gonna be a longy, so obviously: The READ MORE is to separate the wall of paragraphs coming, and most importantly... SPOILER TERRITORY!

If you want a spoiler-free tl;dr, I liked it a lot. It has its problems, but it ultimately served the purpose of what I wanted it to be: An extension of my love to the original game with the realization and acceptance that the original can't be replaced.

Alright, SPOILERS! AFTER THIS THERE BE SPOILERS!

--

Okay. Welcome to spoiler town.

-

Character-wise: I don't think there was a single miss in the roster. Every single character was banger. I loved them all. Barret, Tifa, Aerith, and Nanaki are already my Top 4, and continue to be so. I think this pushed Yuffie to 5 with Cloud being 6.

I get the frustration about Vincent and Cid not being playable, but considering Vincent only really does interesting things in late-game and we're not going to Rocket Town, it worked for me. Plus, Vincent and Cid did PLENTY.

I've always liked Rufus and the Turks. This definitely amplified that. Probably my biggest excitement of part 3 will be Heimdegger, Scarlet, Corneo, Palmer, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOJO all get to bite the bullet. I hate them all so much.

And Sephiroth... God, fuck you, man.

-

Music: Big surprise. Music is outstanding. I'm going to need to make like... a YouTube playlist of all the songs that I liked, cause this game has a fucking OCEAN of music that I can't keep track of. Best of note were definitely the variety of Tifa themes, the different takes on JENOVA, that Stamp theme, and probably a stand out: That take on Sephiroth's latin chant that made it sound like a fucking Bloodborne theme. That was awesome.

-

Gameplay: Oh my fucking god, this game has so much. Like, almost too much. It's overwhelming how much this game has, and I'd complain if it weren't for the fact that it's manageable if you do it in a healthy manner. Which hardly anyone is going to do.

While there were too many mini-games, I liked about 90%. I'm in love with Queen's Blood. Chocobo Racing was great. Fuck that cactaur mini-game.

Combat still feels banger. Every character plays awesome, except Cait. Like, I've never been anti-playing Cait in OG FF7, but man, he is hard to work with in this one. My best was always Tifa and Barret.

-

Story: I 100% see where everyone is mad about (and I'm talking more the middle of the story, not the ending... We'll get to the ending later), but nothing really bothered me. I saw outcries of Barret's conclusion making things worse for him, which honestly... Yeah. That fucking sucks for him, which is why it makes him so badass to continue to stand up.

I know people are mad about the whole 'Glenn' thing. I... have no idea why. He's such a nothing burger. He just seems like Sephiroth's only way of talking to Rufus, which... good. That's interesting. I'm sure we're supposed to get a 'Glenn is Cloud's father' bit, but... I don't care. That seems like whatever.

Having experienced the story now, not stopping at Wutai or Rocket Town actually makes sense with how the story is going. We'll definitely see.

-

That Ending: I'll be honest... The way Aerith's death was handled frustrated me. Cause at first, it was hitting me HARD. I was in TEARS as the scene played out, and then Jenova came out. And I was crying as I was beating her ass.

And then Sephiroth came out. And then not-Safer Sephiroth came out. And then Sephiroth came out again and STOP MILKING SEPHIROTH! OH MY GOD! I GET IT! SORS IMMANIS! ET INANIS! By the time the two hour event of Sephiroth wave dashing on me went by, I was completely over the death. And then they don't even do the water burial? Just to add to the fact that Cloud can't fully comprehend that she's dead?

And as frustrated as I am with all that... I'm fine. Like, honestly: I'll live. Was it how I wanted the scene to go? No. But you know what: I can experience FF7's amazing scenes whenever I want. I got the fucking game on Switch. I got on PS Library. I can wait til it's $5 on sale for my Steamdeck. I can beat that shit in a week or less.

FF7 will always be there for me, and it is always a part of me. And I've accepted that this series isn't 'a remake of Final Fantasy 7'. It was a re-exploration of it that knows that I know what I know. So... I can live with that.

The world and timeline thing still confuses me a bit, but at the end of the day, it just feels like build up for when Aerith uses the lifestream to save everyone. Cause you know she'll be there with Zack.

-

Other Stuff: -I don't know if I'll Platinum this. My thoughts right now are to close the game and play some XIV. I might pick it up and continue, piece by piece. Don't know yet.

-I can't wait to see how Cid and Vincent are going to play in the next game. I was theorizing that Vincent was going to get a DLC chapter. I don't think that's happening now.

Um... Matthew Mercer's voice is so fucking hot. Huh? What? You didn't hear that. Mako poisoning.

-Golden Saucer was both hype and a disappointment. Cause I feel like losing the roller coaster was a loss. BUT THAT HAUNTED HOTEL! ME AMOR! I loved that place! Oh my fucking god! I want to LIVE THERE! And the front desk attendee? Boyfriend-tier. Marriage material. We'll be married in October 2025. See you then.

-Otherwise... If you have a question or something, feel free to DM me on Twitter or here. Whatever.

I revised the sex scene in this NSFW Gumroad Commission for Fake. Hopefully, it's to her liking this time.

(Fake ASMR Script) [NSFW Gumroad Commission] Sex With Your Crush While Camping {F4M}

------------------------------------------------------------

*play the same nighttime ambience you used for the 2nd half of the original audio. the one without the campfire. just use that for this entire audio. this commission picks up right where the original audio left off.*

"So lemme get this straight. If we both had a crush on each other then that means we're official now, right? You know... A couple? Boyfriend & girlfriend?"

...

"Oh My God, it makes me so happy to hear that! Haha! Come here, you. Gimme your warmth."

"Mmmmm... You're so soft. I'm holding the man of my dreams in my arms while nuzzling into him. This is the best night of my life."

...

"I'm not even bothered by the outdoors at this point. As long as I'm with you, I feel invincible."

"Maybe I won't kick Jackson's ass after all. He's the reason we're together now. I bet he had this all planned out. I should thank him in the morning instead."

...

"Of course you can kiss me! God, the thought of feeling your lips against mine... *Mmmph* *Lip Smack*"

"Hahhh... That was too short. I need another one. One that'll last longer."

...

"A french kiss. So you wanna sword fight me with your tongue, eh? I accept your duel. En Garde!"

*several seconds of french kissing sounds*

*deep inhale to catch breath*

"Whew... That was awesome! God, I've always wanted to do that with you. That felt incredible."

"Hm? Ohhh... I knew I felt something poking me. All that kissing got you riled up, didn't it?"

...

"Oh, come on. Don't feel ashamed. Your body is having a completely normal reaction to the situation. You just made out with your girlfriend. I'd be surprised if you didn't have a boner right now."

"And I'll be honest with you. That make-out session made me rather... Wet."

...

"Hehehe~ I suppose it's fitting that nature is calling considering we're out in the wilderness right now."

"Are we really gonna do this though? I mean... Don't get me wrong. I am VERY horny for you right now, but... Jackson is sleeping in the tent next to us. What if our lewd noises wake him up?"

...

"It's more exciting that way. Well, I guess the possibility of getting caught does make it more thrilling."

...

"Right. He did set us up. I doubt he'd actually get upset about it. Maybe he's expecting this to happen. He might even be pretending to sleep just waiting for us to go at it."

...

"Yeah, let's not dwell on it too much. Let's just... Enjoy ourselves~ Whatever happens... Happens~"

*more kissing sounds*

"You know what they say about sex while camping. It's fucking in tents."

...

"Ahaha~ I hope that joke didn't kill the mood."

"Woah!" *cushiony thud*

"Okay, you're definitely still eager."

*sound of clothes removal*

"And there goes my top. AAHH~! Hahhh~ Oh God... Going straight for my boobs, huh? Mmmmmph~ You're so hungry for my soft feminine flesh. Aaahhh~ I didn't think you'd be lusting for my body this much."

...

"You think I'm hot & sexy. Hahhh~ Well, now I feel silly for not assuming that earlier. Mmmph~ You really like what you see, huh?"

...

"You wanna see more. Heh~ Help yourself then. These pants aren't gonna take themselves off. Here, I'll help you strip to."

*more clothes sounds*

"Wow... That's quite the piece of meat you got there. Stiff as a rod & eager to go inside me. I'm flattered."

"So... What position do you wanna try?"

...

"Prone Bone. I think I've heard of that before. Isn't that the position where the girl lays flat on her belly & the guy penetrates her from behind?"

...

"I thought so. That sounds like a great idea. A nice comfortable position that doesn't require much effort."

*fabric shuffling sounds*

"Well~ I'm all yours~ Let's drown in pleasure together~"

*slap sound*

"AAAHHH~! Oh fuck. Haha. Woah. I wasn't expecting you to spank my ass like that."

...

"It's round & perky. Of course you'd say that. Just hurry up & dick me down already. I can't wait any longer.

*okay, so like... I remember when Max commissioned NSFW audios, he requested squishing sounds for the sex scenes & you didn't add them. I would also like squishing sounds, but I won't say that they're required. just encouraged. if you add them... great. if not... well whatever I guess.*

"Ah~ There you go. Nice &... Aahh~ Easy. Hahhh..."

...

"Don't worry. I'm fine. It's a good thing I'm well lubricated down there. Just start slow, okay?"

*moaning sounds*

"Oh, fuck~ This is intense~"

*moaning sounds*

"I could get used to this~ It's so strange, but it feels so wonderful~"

*moaning sounds*

"Just knowing it's you~ My one true love~ You really are the best~"

*moaning sounds*

"Oh God, this is heaven~ Fuck~ Yes~"

*moaning sounds*

"I like all the delicious sounds you're making~ It's so erotic~"

*moaning sounds*

"Aha~ Jeez, all this moaning & groaning is sure to wake Jackson up~ But whatever~ I feel too fucking good to care~"

*louder moaning sounds now*

"You're pumping even faster~ Keep going~ The pleasure is almost too great~"

*moaning sounds*

"I can only imagine how good this feels for you as well, hun~ Although~ I don't really need to imagine it when I'm already feeling it myself~"

*moaning sounds*

"Your moans tell me everything~ You want nothing more than to fill up your cute girlfriend, don't you~?"

*moaning sounds*

"Don't hold back~ Cum inside me~ Please~ We both deserve to feel the height of ecstasy~"

*moaning sounds*

"Hold me close~ Keep me pinned down & don't let go~ My body is all yours~"

*moaning sounds*

"I love you~! I love you~! I love you so much~!"

*moaning sounds*

"I'm about to cum~"

*moaning sounds*

"I'M CUMMING~!"

*loudest moaning sounds*

"Hahhh... Hahhh... Hahhh... Hahhh..."

"Hahhhhhh... So warm... It feels so warm~."

"Hahhhhh... That was amazing. That was the greatest experience of my entire life. I think I've peaked. I doubt anything will ever top that."

...

"No, wait. Don't pull out yet. Stay inside me a while longer. Let's just bask in the afterglow together."

*footsteps heard outside the tent*

"Oh, shit! Never mind. Jackson's awake. Pull out & get under the covers quick. Damnit, we're totally busted."

*tent zipper sound*

"Uh... Hey... Jackson."

...

"Yeah, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. We had sex while you were asleep."

...

"You were never asleep?! You mean you were listening to us the entire time?!"

...

"I knew it! I knew you weren't really sleeping. My hunch was correct."

...

"Well, I suppose I should thank you. Embarrassing as this is, we had a lot of intimate fun thanks to you."

...

"All according to plan. Yeah... I know. Anyway, can we actually get some sleep now? I'm extra tired after all that."

...

"Only a few hours. In that case, me & my boyfriend are definitely gonna sleep in tomorrow morning."

...

"Don't push your luck, Jackson. Whether we bang again the next night or not isn't any of your business. Now go back to your tent."

*tent zipper sound*

"Sigh... That guy... I swear."

...

"Make no mistake, babe. We are definitely going to smash again by next nightfall. That was so much fun."

...

"I love you to, darling."

*kiss sound*

"Goodnight. Sweet dreams."

THE END

[tw1stedthicket]

After work today I was feeling proud of myself for getting a lot done and found out my old job is currently serving the BEST ice cream flavors (pumpkin and mocha) rn, so I drove to my old job and visited with my dearly beloved friend there and we caught up and chatted for like 3 hours! I love that lady. :') On god, I think I may just get a teeny tattoo somewhere (add it to the list lol) for my time at this farm job, because it has meant so much to me. I also got to see another one of my friends which felt really good and I desperately gotta see them for a hangout sometime. Today was so long but honestly really good. The connection I had was awesome.

Gotta take a moment to say... sometimes we got shit and we all sigh and dread and moan and beg the lord to take the mf wheel already but like. There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I am alive. School is everything I hoped it would be and more. Just a couple years ago, I was terrified of it, but I've never had something *click* like this. I had a job performance review the other day. It wasn't perfect. Not dropping the ball on anything, but room for improvement, so they say. I wrestled with it a little bit. But you know, I had a good, fun conversation with my assistant office manager today while I was up there working by myself since my coworker was gone. And we had a good time. And I though hey, I like who I am. I don't have to be the most stellar, incredible employee they just are so eager to be proud of, I'm just gonna do my job the best I can and let the rest of the bullshit fuck off, and you know what? I have good conversations with people. I can laugh with em. People around the office know me as being really sincere and good-natured. And that means so much more than anything else to me. I try to go to bed on time, man. I try to make time for the people I don't feel weird with, the people I never doubt for a second if they're being real, or honest, or just... *there* with me. Showing up as themselves, regardless of our tiredness and depression and shit because yeah that shit can suck but I love em and what would life be without each other at the end of it, you know? I remember how bad it felt, but I love to see them so much no matter what and the fact they show up makes me feel like I could fight a dragon, and I wish I could for them and their shit.

I sometimes don't notice how I'm places I never thought I would be. I read the posts of those people I knew from church that have also left the church, the very few ones I know, and their commitment to integrity is fucking insanely awesome and inspiring, and it inspires me to write out my own thoughts in my journal that I read over and think, damn. I'm pretty smart to have come up with those words to capture something so deeply just... weird and wirey and fucky. It's pretty cool to come from that at all, and I comprehend even more now the way both of them have this deep rooted regard for ethics reflected in his nursing job and her counselor job. They're really real like that.

And I think about that and think about how I was eating a coffee ice cream today that 2 years ago when I took the first bites of I felt riddled with guilt, and now? Fuck! It's so tasty!

I think about how hobbies are slowly re-entering the picture. I fuckin' love these detective games. I fuckin' love reading and journaling, and I'm entertaining these thoughts a lot different than I ever used to. I have plans to finally do what I wanted to do back in January and buy a bass guitar in a couple weeks.

I want to meet up with these friends. I want to meet up with the couple cool people I've met so far at school.

I found some glittery watercolor paints on Temu and like, yo! I've been lookin' for those! I'm so excited that my little sis is coming here in a bit. We're gonna have a good time. I wake up in the morning and you know what's crazy? I don't hate showering in the morning. It actually feels kinda refreshing. I stop in at the shell and buy some monsters and look forward to seeing the cashier. I eat my frozen microwave meals on lunch break and savor the taste. I play Disney songs and it's fun as hell to sing with my friend and know she's not judging me for it. I sit inside myself and think about how I felt when I saw that one person I only know of really, and it brought up the same bubbling of love in my heart, the way I wish I could love her and hold her, and in another life, I would... I would.

And it hit me again, the way it KEEPS hitting me. The pages are turning, man. I am gay, and it's fucking crazy to me sometimes I ever got here, because how the hell did my Mormon ass ever get here, lol? Jesus. I wish I could slap myself in the head so much, and for once I don't mean in the I-have-deep-remorse-and-shame-for-that-unfair-person-I-have-to-unlearn-to-be, but in the, goddamn you dummy, it really took ya til you were an adult to realize that for you, huh? I just wanna tell that part of me, "Go sit down." Lol. Lordy.

I realize so much how fuckin' haunted living feels sometimes. I know when I start dreaming about certain people and unfinished business again that I need the love of connection again. I've been feeling that, not knowing where my path onward leads with certain people, people I once couldn't imagine a future without, and dreaming oddly enough of my old ex. It's so weird how my brain remembers that feeling of loving and wanting to be loved, and the vulnerability in a relationship knowing you're the only one they're sharing some parts with, and as shitty as it was - I valued being a safe space for him, even to be safely broken. As much contempt as I feel, I also wish him to be incredibly well. Those feelings resurface in my dream of my sadness and unfinishedness, and the way I want to be loved by people who don't seem like they can. But man. We're gonna be okay.

The fact I'm out here now is proof of pushing forward and moving onward, and the fact that I find connection and connection finds me again in new ways all over again, is proof that the nature of life is to not only take, but also to give. Like the sentiment that if life is endlessly cleaning our dirty rooms and having to cook ourselves food every damn day, then that means life is also about the delight of a clean room and having homecooked meals. Like that post, good things come and go. But they come! They do.

I suppose I say all this to say, I'm grateful. Thank you for every new thing I learn. Thank you for every time I feel my disillusionment return, I remember what I must do, and most of the time it's that I gotta sleep as much as I can, and tell myself I'm doing okay like I'm a kid, and do some adult shit, and hey, I know the adult shit only ramps up in intensity. There's stuff now that's haunting me. But that's okay. I'm glad to be here. I'm happy to be here. I'm singing my favorite song again, and I feel it. I feel the salty waves come in, I feel them crash against my skin, and I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win. Hell yeah. They won't.

Coming and Going 26.8.24

Saying goodbye to people is making this feel really real. Like, not ‘having your visa back��� really real (which I fucking hope to god comes tomorrow), but real. Standing out the front of the place in Marrickville hugging Keira while we sobbed into each other, her telling me how proud she is of me, and how excited she is for me to live my dream is something that every little sister could dream of hearing from her big sister. The profound, soul moving hug between Celia and I was so powerful and something that anyone would be so fortunate to experience, to know you’ve met your friend soul mate out of all of the billions of people on earth. How lucky you are to have people unconditionally supportive and who will always put in the effort to feel involved in your life and in your corner through literally anything. 

Seeing so many people on Saturday night at our farewell was the most beautiful experience and one I count my lucky stars to have, even at the ripe age of 31 (I know I’ll read back on this as humorous because it’s pretty young and to be honest - I do see myself as quite young still so don’t worry!). To have over 20 people who love and care for you is a magical thing but what is more than the number of people there is the volume of pure love radiating in all directions, between them, to me, from me, and I can’t quite believe that little Jade as a child grew into the kind of “woman” who goes to the pub with her husband and has so many people who love her and are going to miss her when she moves to New York to live her literal dream. 

It’s still so surreal and I know this is a common theme in my writing at the moment but being able to process the big change we are about to make is really difficult, even surprisingly so when we have had what feels like 10 farewells (like John Farnham) and have been away for 6 months 2 x in a row recently and pretty much gone most of the last 

2 and a half years. I am familiar with the ‘leaving’ part, but it’s the ‘arriving and making a life’ bit that’s crazy. The gigs we can go to, the domestic travel to middle of nowhere towns, the visiting the Caribbean, Canada, fuck knows where else that’s close to NYC, the getting into weird sports and seeing stuff like monster trucks and Nascar and Ice Hockey and random state fairs, the Halloween (or I guess ‘fall’ in general), huge theme parks, tattoo artists we can visit, sitting around the park with a joint and a book, going to a cool gym that’s not too far away from home, having snacks in the house that I can just eat and know what food I have available around, an office to go to and have weird and awkward conversations with colleagues, but then also awesome juicy, supportive ones that blossom into friendships, seeing the same people around at gigs, finding bars or clubs or whatever the night life looks like there (are pubs as much of a thing?), learning all kinds of weird shit about consumers and retailers and brands, feeling foreign as hell and how funny that’s going to be. 

I fucking hope I like it, or if I don’t like it, that it’s a really cool and interesting and exciting story that I can tell afterwards. I am still in the camp of thinking that life really is just about collecting cool stories with cool people so I hope I can continue that and even if my general outlook on life shifts at some point, that I’m fucking stoked with how it all turns out. 

It’s so hard not being able to be in multiple places at a time. That of all of the interrogative words, the “where” is so crucial in my existence. That, and “when” when it comes to time zones and phone calls. I am so deeply sad about the time I am going to miss with my nieces and parents in particular, that every time I see them they are older and that’s completely irreconcilable with the reality I want to live with everything that I am. I am so devastated that to do what my soul tells me I want to do that I have to give up so much. It’s not fair that I don’t just want a normal life in the suburbs near where I grew up with all of the familiarity but at the same time I am so grateful that I am the kind of person who does the thing and seeks the great perhaps. But two things can be true at once and it’s okay I feel the painful lows as well as the drunkening highs of this experience because I genuinely think these moments are the reason for everything, the dizzying feelings in the spectrum of emotions that as a human who is alive. How fucking cool is the opportunity to do something so scary and huge as a grown up. 

I do think that the car accident, compounded with Tim dying really changed it all for me. I think it was a stark and profound example of why we need to do crazy shit and really enjoy life - it’s all temporary. Like so many emo songs talk about, it’s all a bunch of fleeting moments in life and if you’re not actually really really happy, you need to change things. Take chances, find home, take these huge leaps. As Keira said this morning, I really feel like I am strapped into a roller coaster and the floor has dropped out and I am about to go on this huge ride and it’s scary but I’m full of all of this anticipation and excitement and nerves. So many extreme feeling all at once. I know it would be a lot more intense if I knew we were going on a particular date.

Wednesday, 10/18

Today was not bad! I woke up naturally on my own so I wasn't a huge bitch when I got to work. Work was... fine. The Space Center is fine. It is nice and nostalgic to be back there even though it's "classy" now, and it's definitely nice that the hours are more regular than Canobie, but the pay is still gonna suck and I am still not built for customer service. But I gotta do SOMETHING low-stakes and easily quittable while I wait for Audacy to give me my start date, and that could be a while out, so.... it's fine. I'm trying not to be too bummed about feeling like my life is on hold again. I'm living more or less on my own, and I have an honest-to-god social life here, and I am not doing what I've been doing for the past four years. It IS forward progress. It is.

Work tired me out today, though, let me tell you.

When I got home, I took a much-needed shower (I was so gross. Also, I've been spotting blood which is not fucking awesome. I fear my implant is starting to falter in its effectiveness and I really do not want to have periods again, or worse, be casually spotting for the next fourteen months until I can get it replaced) and cleaned up the house a bit for D&D, which I did not want to host at all, but I got to listen to FYA while I cleaned, which was great! I am such a sucker for populist theme park shit.

I was a little nervous about D&D, so I am pleased to say it went AWESOME! Henry is maybe the best DM I've ever worked with, creating a genuinely fun and exciting story that also didn't feel overwhelming to newcomers like me and Ellie. I do get what she sees in him, he's a cool guy. I also really like Garrett, his friend and another player. The third guy, Jim, is worryingly quiet, but if they can vouch for him, that's good enough for me to have him in my house, lol. I can sometimes find myself getting bored with long TTRPG sessions but my attention never faltered once. What a good fucking time that was.

And now I AM tired, so off to bed I go!

[entireoranges]

Sometimes you just need a comfort show

On a New Girl rewatch. Wasn't even planning on it ... sorta just happened. I can't decide if I'm excited or not with the Nick/Jess roller coaster.

He likes her. She doesn't like him. She likes him. He doesn't like her. They date. They break up. She dates someone new. He's jealous. They date. They break up. He dates someone new. She's jealous. They date. They marry!

And God I don't even know if that's order and I'm sure I missed some. Much as I love Nick/Jess I keep reminding myself the show was/is so much than them. I love all the housemates. It's just a fucking good show. Had its flaws of course. Inconsistences, but what show doesn't?

I always say Winston is my favorite character because he's so innocently dumb and a goof. So far besides a few brief examples in the first season and two into the second am not getting that vibe; which means later they are gonna revamp his character. I'll be honest, bit torn on that. Because this Winston is pretty awesome too.

Season 7 was a time leap. I believe the show said about 3 years in the future. Which is a bit vague, however like many shows especially sitcoms time and its movement is a pretty loose concept. I will say season 7 in universe time took place 2021 and because of that God I really want to know how the characters would have handled Covid and everything associated with it. That certainly would have been entertaining.

Let's be honest though; if the show was still activity airing/filming during this period it's more likely it be ignored and never mentioned as ever happening. Which a part of me gets why shows go that route, another part of me really hates it.

Now I want to know when Nick and Jess had their son! Gonna see if I can possibly pinpoint it down. Sticking with the theory season 7 was in 2021 ....

Ruth looked to be around 10/11. She was born around 2017. Maybe 2018? Will stick with 2017 though. Which means when she is 10/11 it would be 2027 or 2028.

The son looked be around 4. Which would make his birth around 2023 or 2024.

Which I guess does work because that would 2 to 3 years after they married and both characters would be in their early 40's I don't see them waiting too long to start a family. I know women now can successfully have babies in their mid 40's and later; with them I don't see that being the case.

This post was way too long and complex. Sorry? Oh and I know there is a New Girl podcast but I've heard it's not that good so not sure it I want to try it out. Anyone know if I should?

Master - Chapter 47 - Part 2

*Warning Adult Content*

- Lincoln -

"What do you mean by a contact?" I ask when I finally get my thoughts moving.

"I mean, I've been sending all sorts of messages to them for months and either they finally arrived through the snow or they finally decided to respond," Wenquie says with a shrug as if it were the simplest thing in the world.

"I sent birds, creatures of all kinds including a troll who owed me a very big favour for what I did with his rock parts." 

"It finally got through I guess because they replied in this coded letter. They support our goals and know we'll win in the end, so they're sending a liaison to speak to us about terms before their actually Pylen comes to confirm them."

I bristle slightly at that.

"The Pylen should be meeting with us, not a liaison."

"Lincoln, they shouldn't be meeting with us at all," Wenquie shoots back with narrowed eyes.

"Not now anyway, so if you want to be pissing about it, I can talk to them on your behalf or maybe Malcolm can and you can play King."

I hated that he was right.

"You're a dick."

"I'm an honest dick," Wenquie corrects with a smile.

"An honest awesome dick, right?"

I nod for his benefit and Wenquie smirks.

"Without a doubt," Malcolm says outside of his chuckles.

"So when should we expect this liaison?"

"They didn't really say," Wenquie replies with a little frown.

"Within the next week I think. As I said, it's all coded and to be honest, I'm still figuring out the full message."

"Why didn't you do that first?" the piranha asks with a deep frown.

"Because I was so excited," he replies while rolling his eyes.

"But I'm pretty sure they didn't want to give any solid times in case the message was intercepted by Diablos' bitches, so they just sort of insinuated that it would be soon."

I didn't like that vagueness of it all but there was a lot of land between the castle and Antarctica, even with our speed it would be a long journey with infinite chances for an attack if they weren't careful.

"I'll keep an eye out, set up special patrols a bit further out for them," Wenquie continues with a giddy smile.

"And in the meantime, you guys can keep telling me how amazing I am for making this possible."

"You're amazing," Malcolm supplies readily and Wenquie claps his hands together with a massive smile.

"I know," he agrees, his horns and tail coming out from his joy.

"God, how do you all live when you're not me."

"Okay," I say with a raised hand, ready to bring Wenquie back down to earth but Malcolm apparently wasn't done.

"Honestly Wenquie, the fact that you've pulled this off at all is crazy, I don't know where this clan would be without you."

Wenquie beams, his smart smile turning honest as he shifts a little in his spot, his cheeks heating up with unusual bashfulness.

"Malcolm is right," the pillowcase adds with a small smile of his own. "You're truly remarkable and your efforts never go unnoticed Wenquie."

"Stop guys," Wequie groans as he spins a little.

"But don't actually stop, keep going."

As the others laugh and Wenquie looks my way almost hesitantly.

"Lincoln?"

"Their praises aren't enough?" I challenge but of course, he shakes his head.

"Come on, tell me I'm fucking amazing," Wenquie goads.

"You are fucking amazing," I allow and he cheers.

"Now tell me in your own words."

I don't hold back my smile.

"They're right," I tell him with no feigned annoyance, just genuine gratitude.

"I didn't ever consider how monumental your role in this clan would be but I'm truly grateful that you're here with us. We would be miles back without you."

The little pink that was brushing Wenquie's cheek turns into a heavy blush that consumed his face and neck entirely.

For once, Wenquie doesn't say something overly flirtatious or smart, he just stands in his place, rendered completely speechlessly while his tail swishes erratically behind him.

"Thank you," Wenquie squeaks out before he does an awkward bow and runs out of the room. 

I watch him go with a chuckle that Malcolm joins in on.

"I forgot how cute he could be when he gets shy," Malcolm coos as he draws his eyes from the door.

"He can't even look people in the eye."

"I prefer that than the demands for praise," I grumble as I stand to my feet.

"I'll tell the others of this news so we can make preparations."

"How about I tell the others and you get some rest?" Malcolm suggests with a hum.

"You haven't rested since we returned from the Lupin conquest."

"I'm fine," I reply too quickly. Malcolm smiles gently at me, his eyes frustratingly kind and knowing. 

"The word fine is subjective," the ironing board inputs uselessly.

"But let's say that you're 'fine' by this world's standards, if you keep going this way, it won't be long before you're even more worthless than you already are."

"What Arias means to say," Malcolm says, cutting in before I could reply.

"Is that we all need you to be on your A-game as we get closer to facing Diablos and the bulk of his forces, so why don't you find Kalem and just rest for a bit?"

My objections falter a little at the mention of Kalem, longing didn't even begin to cover what I felt when I thought of spending time with my boy.

But this war would only last longer with the more time I gave Diablos to make a strong counterattack.

We were closing in on him now, I could always rest after.

"I've rested enough to last me three wars," I reply as I stand, taking my place in front of the world map again. 

"I'm fine."

The red pins that once littered the map were dwindling now, quickly falling off as we demolished his numbers.

It wouldn't be long now before we removed them all, especially with the Amaris Clan's support if we got it.

Perhaps, I should refocus my attention on the proposal for their liaison for the time being.

"That's true," Malcolm allows as he stands as well, coming over to settle at my side.

"But sometimes, we can all use a bit of quiet nothingness. No plotting or worrying, just the quiet."

"I can't afford such luxuries right now Malcolm," I reply as I circle back to the table in search of my annals.

"I know you've got the best intentions at heart but unless you see an outcome with my downfall."

I glance at him but he only shakes his head.

"Then I only wish to see this all through as quickly as I can." Malcolm quiets, staring at me with worry that I didn't have the time to ease right now.

I glance at the cable line with the aim of getting him to distract Malcolm but instead, I find him staring at me with a serious frown.

"What?" I snap.

"Nothing," he whispers, his eyes trailing over me for one assessing moment before he stands and gestures for Malcolm who goes to him without a second thought.

"While I hardly care about your wellbeing, the last thing anyone needs is you falling on the field, so be wise for once and heed Malcolm's words, hmm?"

"Malcolm's the one who likes orders, not me," I deadpan, my eyes on my notes.

"So why don't you be wise for once and remember that."

"You know, when you finally do end up several feet in the soil one day, I promise I will sing the most beautiful song to keep you there," the cactus promises in a disgusting sweet tone before he turns Malcolm and follows after him.

"I truly can not wait for the glorious day."

"Your love for me knows no bounds, Elf," I call back and Arias snarls with disgust from over his shoulder.

When I'm alone again, I close my eyes and let out a slow steady breath to ease that teeming pressure against my skull.

Malcolm hadn't been wrong, I wasn't daft enough to not recognise how true they were but I wasn't naive enough to think that our upper hand in this war would continue to last for much longer.

Everything might be going to plan but that was exactly why I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

My troubles with controlling enemy vampires had abided but it hadn't eased completely and while our numbers now stretched across the globe, it wasn't our entire species.

There was more, lots more that I knew Diablos controlled and until I held his decapitated head in my hands, I had to prepare for every possible outcome.

By taking on the role of Pylen, I'd agreed to not only be a leader but a protector.

It was a role I'd come to take great pride in and though we hadn't lost many lives, I still remembered each person who fell.

I wasn't keen on losing anymore that could've been saved if I'd planned things better or paid more mind to a certain detail.

If a lonely heart and an aching head was all I had to bear for ensuring lives were saved, then I'd endure it happily.

It would go away when this was all over, when the war was one, the species under my control and Diablos was put to rest, only then would I let myself relax and enjoy the quiet.

I'd make this time apart to Kalem, drown him in enough love to ensure his smile never faded and this troublesome ache would ease.

But for now, I had a job to do.
