Yesterday i caught up on Shin Lupin from the San Fran arc to the first two chapters of Yapland and there were some things that i found interesting so i wanna talk abt it here
Vague spoilers for Chapter 160 and beyond
Firstly i wanna start with how much blatant the themes of freedom gets with every chapter, i find it peculiar that now it's put on the full front of things.
Monkey Punch typically leaves things up vague but topics of freedom has been spoken from the character's mouth multiple times, i think this is something we might wanna pay attention to
I'm not fully sure why Lupin is primarily the one that constantly states his freedom over and over given how little of it has happened in hundreds of previous chapters, but i can try to theorize on why
It's likely based on his feelings of pride, since on the second image he speaks on both his status as human being and his freedom back to back, showing a correlation between the two things
"Some people might be thieves because they're cockroaches." "I'm a thief because I am free."
My interpretation of this is that Lupin sees himself as above everyone in the world of crime, as some sort of righteous robinhood type of person that decided to lead into the path of crime because of a good reason, unlike the "cockroaches" that do it for greed and to hurt others
Why does he decide to emphasize freedom now of all times? Perhaps he feels the need to do so push back some sense of insecurity in him and argue against the world that he is better than what he/others see him as, he doesn't want to be seen as a cockroach, he rather wants to be seen as a butterfly, something that flies free in the world
This can be backed up by the fact that he tries to do good, like preventing this man from raping a woman (despite Lupin later raping Susan in the arc)
Why I theorize it could be due to insecurity is because of what happens in Yapland
i find it really interesting that instead of the "fake" Lupin (the one piloting the aliencraft) stating that he is the real one and the "real" lupin being fake, he says that both of them are real.
When reading this the first time, it really reminded me of the concept of Jungian Shadows, the side of yourself that you wish to not accept due to it inhibiting traits you wish you didn't have, but it is still a part of you (I am also a Persona fan, sorry for being a huge loser)
In this case the Lupin we first see (wearing a plain jacket) inhabits traits of the righteous thief, while the Shadow Lupin (wearing a suit jacket) inhabits traits of the cruel and villainous thief
the "good" Lupin claims innocence of everything he is accused of in the chapter, while the Shadow Lupin sends the Yapland residence to sexually assault Fujiko, forcing her to go to yapland with him. He really is sort of like the old lupin (from OG manga to early Shin), but in a kinda creepy way.
"Good" Lupin
Shadow Lupin
While the Shadow Lupin is proven in later scans to be the fake I think? the existence of two Lupins has some opportunity to be looked into what it means in a metaphorical sense.
What i think is that between the events of San Fran, Lupin psychologically spits himself in half and rejects his cruel side due to it being an undesirable part of him he wishes to leave behind yet can't fully detach himself from it, shown literally in how he constantly preaches about being free and doing good acts, yet turning around and doing horrible shit to others.
That 'shadow' of his comes back to haunt him in Yapland, trying to tell him that he is a side of himself that he will never be able to get rid of. Well see how well this theory holds up in later chapters lmfao
-----
Secondly, the thing with Lupin and Susan is lowkey disgusting but its also oddly interesting
I wanna point out how Goemon for possibly the first time comments on how Lupin raped a woman and how its unfaithful to Fujiko
Maybe he's doing this now out of all the times because he's behaving as Lupin's moral conscience, saying that Lupin's going out of line given how he's trying so hard to preach this sort of heroic side of himself yet is psychologically messing with this woman.
It also could be Goemon criticizing Lupin's lack of loyalty in general. Seeing how Lupin can easily discard his relationship with Fujiko and his effort to be a more righteous thief just because he's got the hots for this woman, what's stopping him from betraying Jigen and Goemon's trust too? (THIS IS FORESHADOWING TO THE EVENTS IN BAD CITY)
If you're free, then you're bound to nothing and nobody, not even the ones on your side
And throughout the arc Lupin murders quite a ton of people, wiping out the entire secret seven yet spares Susan, how could that show that he's a good person? He's just doing what seems right and sparing those he likes
What im saying is that bro is trying so hard to be good but is failing miserably, his treatment towards susan being a huge example
(in these pics he bombs a cable car but it turns out to be a fakeout, another example of how he seems to try to be the good kinds of criminals.)
-----
oh yeah i also wanna mention this panel
It's pretty interesting how Lupin was already considered Japanese / JP citizen from what Zenigata states. This either proves that he is a japanese citizen for quite a long time or he looks japanese enough to be considered a japanese person, or both
SEE GUYS HE'S CLEARLY HALF ASIAN
we support a wasian piece of shit 💚
okay thats it ive ran out of brain juice, that's what i took out of san fran and yapland
here's a oranges fail moment #funny #LOL
#peater rambles#long one this time! hope this is some good food#shin lupin iii#lupin iii#fujiko mine#goemon ishikawa xiii

So out of curiosity... which positions do you think are the faves of each housewarden? 🫣 I'm curious about all the characters ngl... but don't wanna be too greedy so maybe just the housewardens is fine... for now ><
>:) here are my thoughts hehehe~
Riddle - I think he's also one who by default errs on the romantic side of things. In classic Riddle Rosehearts fashion, he is traditional even if he hopes to one day explore more kinky, non-traditional sex. Another appreciator of missionary. <3 but I do think he likes positions that allow him or you to cling to one another or positions that allow him to appreciate you and the time he has with you more. Slow-burn sort of sex that's offered in positions like the good ex. But he also favors positions that allow for over the counter sex! Maybe he's a fan of the drill position, too.......... many thoughts for Riddle.
Leona - any position that has you on top (especially if you're fem). Think positions like the amazon, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, etc. one thing about Leona is that when he's feeling it he will always deliver, but sometimes he likes lying back and watching you do your thing. Doesn't matter if you get embarrassed easily or if you're more confident like this; he likes both reactions regardless, but he's definitely going to tease you if you're quick to fluster.
Azul - if he's in human form, he prefers positions where you can be as close as possible and with the opportunity for eye contact because it increases the intimacy. Positions like the lotus, the octopus, Italian chandelier. If it's mer form,,, it's less about the positions and more so the control. It's a different energy and feeling beneath the sea when he fucks you in his mer form. Azul tells you you'll understand once you experience it for yourself, and perhaps you'll know even more if you take a potion to become a mer... :)
Kalim - I feel like Kalim loves to try everything and anything that looks or sounds fun,, please hear me out on these positions with him: full nelson, Viennese oyster, tug of love, dancer. As long as it's fun, enjoyable, and comfortable for the both of you, he's more than willing to do any position you want! <3 it's not a position, but I think he's also into food play as well..... drunk sex, too. It's not a party without Kalim, as they say. >:D
Vil - in my mind, Vil likes to have messy sex with you and thinks it's a beautiful thing to become absolutely, mutually disheveled with his beloved. The bedroom is like a theatre for you and Vil, wherein you both drown in the pleasure of each other. I think he's also willing to try all kinds of positions, but his favorites would be the high chair (bonus if it's in front of a mirror), praying mantis, spread eagle, and 69.
Idia - he's partial to positions where you don't have to look at him much, so prone bone and doggy style are his top preferences. S-tier!! But the more you have sex with him, the more confident he'll gradually become, so eventually he'll want to look at you or even try to do some of the positions from hentai..... for now, though, little steps.
Malleus - he's actually really soft and sweet. <3 before all of the kinky sex, you have to let him make love to you. 🥺 so for that he is very fond of spooning, rear entry, missionary, gift-wrapped, and chef/iron chef. Slow and intimate sex. He really does want you to feel cherished and adored every time the two of you do it.

Love Language JJK Men x Fem Reader
Description: Head Canons/ short drabbles on how the JJK men show their love to reader
Characters: Gojo, Nanami, Choso, Higuruma, and Geto
Warnings: Fluff, slightly suggestive content. Smut (Choso) Any other warnings will be labeled with each character
A/N: Hey guys I am sorta back. It is still a busy time for me, but I did want to get some writings out, so hopefully you will be treated with two writings this week. As always thanks for the support, hope you all have a good week!
Satoru Gojo:
This guy gives me physical touch and acts of service. As much as I wish that Gojo is quality time, realistically he is just too busy, so he makes up for it in others ways
When you all are together, his hands are on you constantly. Your hips, your ass, your boobs; his hands will be there. If Gojo has the time off to be with you, don’t expect to be going out much. He is too busy keeping you in his favorite place (i.e the bed)
When he can’t be around you physically he is going to be doing other things to make it known he cares about you. Maybe he makes you your favorite cup of coffee or tea in the morning before he leaves. Or maybe stops by a bakery to get you your favorite treat
Though his schedule is demanding, if Gojo loves you, he is going to make sure you feel his love
“Sato”, you murmur as his strong slender arms encircle your waist, forcing you back down into the bed. “Don’t leave”, he whines sleepily, fingers tightening on your hip bone. “I need to pee, I’ll be back in less than two minutes”, you say with a light chuckle. You hear a deep sigh from your partner before his grip relents. “Less than two minutes love”, Gojo grumbles. You make good on your word and zip in and out of the bathroom in under two minutes. The moment you slip back underneath the covers, he pulls you flush against him, his face nestling into the crook of your neck. “I missed you”, he moans, his hot breath fanning your collar bone as his hands freely roam all over your body. “I wasn’t gone that long” you chide him before giving him a soft peck. “Stay”, he pleads, half joking, half serious. With the way he had you pinned to the mattress, you knew you wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. “I’ll stay as long as you want me Sato”, you tell him. He shifts his body, face now hovering above yours. “Always, I want you always”, Gojo mumbles before his lips capture yours, effectively ending the conversation for the time being.
Kento Nanami:
Hands down, Nanami is the type of guy to be all five types of the love languages. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, he is top husband material. That being said, I feel like he provides more quality time and words of affirmation than the others
If he is busy with work, expect good morning, afternoon, and sometimes good evening texts. He doesn’t do it in a possessive way, he simply wants to let you know that you are on his mind
Anytime he is away from work and you are not busy, you two will be together. Whether it’s watching a movie together, grocery shopping, or even doing separate things in the same room together
You are his number one priority, he is going to make sure that you feel cared for and loved
“Darling?”, you hear your partner call as the front door closes, indicating he was finally home from work. “In the kitchen”, you reply as you finish cleaning up the mess you had made to make dinner. You turn around just as Nanami walks in, pulling you into a warm embrace, “Hey there”, he murmurs, giving you a soft peck. “Hi”, you respond, “How was your work?”, you continue, pulling away from the embrace to check on the food. “Same as usual, do you have any plans this weekend?”, Nanami questions as he moves to sit down at the table. “As of right now no, why? You want to hangout?”, you question cheekily. You hear a tired chuckle fall from his lips, “Is it a crime to want to spend time with my future wife?”, he questions back, causing your cheeks to burn. “No”, you murmur before plating the food and sitting down. “Then it’s settled, you and me for the next forty-eight hours”, Nanami says with a smile. “I’d like that a lot”, you respond before an easy silence falls across the room, the both of you happy to be in each other’s presence.
Choso Kamo: (Smut: fingering, P in V)
This boy is big on physical touch and quality time. Obviously you both have lives to live, but if he has the opportunity to keep you tied up in bed, that’s where you are going to be
I have a feeling that Choso needs to be touching you at all times when the two of you are around each other. Whether it’s holding your hand, or waist, his hands will be on you nearly 24/7. He is a bit possessive, so expect him touching you a lot
When he is not at work, he’s with you. While Choso is not going to be the type of guy to limit your time with your friends and what not, he does want/ expects to be your priority when both of you are free
He is not use to “human” relationships, however Choso seems to be very sensitive and caring towards the people he loves. That being said, expect to always be his number one priority, you will be cared for by this man
“Baby”, you moan as his hips rut up into yours. “I need to get going, I told the others I’d be there by five”, you managed to huff out as Choso’s lips moved to your neck, littering it with wet kisses. “Thirty more minutes”, he moans as he grinds against you again. At this point, you weren’t sure you were going to make it, especially when you felt his harden member rub against your clothed core at just the right angle. “Cho-“, you start, but are quickly cut off with quick removal of your underwear, his fingers easily slipping inside of you. “Fuck, Cho”, you gasp as he quickly adds a second finger. “Let me have you”, he growls, his dark eyes locking onto yours. “Baby I made a promise”, you remind him. “Thirty minutes and I’ll pay for the dinner”, Choso says removing his fingers, licking them clean. “Okay, but let me make a quick call”, you start. Choso is quick to yank out his thick member, pumping himself for a moment before lining himself up to your entrance. “No need, I messaged them about ten minutes ago”, he says gruffly before sinking into your tight hole. You don’t respond, brain already foggy with the feel of his dick inside of you. Needless to say, you were more than thirty minuets late.
Hiromi Higuruma:
This sexy lawyer turned Jujustu sorcerer gives me acts of service/ gift giving vibes. Similar to Nanami I could see him really hitting all five of the love languages, but acts of service would definitely be number one for him
He is busy with his work, but that is not going to stop him from taking care of you. I could see him doing things like switching over the load of laundry when he gets home late or doing an online grocery order for you when you are busy yourself
Higuruma strikes me as the guy to bring you a small gift whenever he wins a case. It could be flowers or your favorite dessert, whatever it is, its his way of saying thank you for putting up with my long hours
Though the two of you might not be able to spend as much time together as you want, Higuruma is willing to do anything and everything for the person he loves.
The ringing of the doorbell is what brings you back to reality. You quickly save your work before moving to open the door. “Please sign here Ma’am”, the delivery man tells you as you take in the medium sized box he was holding. With a quick signature and “Have a nice day”, the door was quickly closed as your curiosity grew. Just then your phone range and you knew who it was without looking at your caller ID. “Hiro, what have you sent me?”, you ask with laugh as the line connects. “Nothing too crazy, just wanted my beautiful wife to know that she is loved”, he tells you. “Darling”, you say, tone soft. You put the phone on speaker as you move to open the box, revealing a carefully packaged, but stunning black dress. “Hiro”, you gasp. “You like it? I had it made just for you. I’ll be home in two hours and I expect it to be on”, he says. “For what purpose?’, you question, eyes still overlooking the garment. “You’ll find out, see you soon love”, Higuruma says before the line disconnects. You knew with his tone that you were in for a long night.
Geto Suguru:
For some reason he gives me words of affirmation and quality time vibes. I really see him as the the type of guy to take a day off of “work” just to spend the day with you
Similar to Nanami, expect little check in messages throughout the day. He understands that you might be busy with work, but he wants you to know that you are on his mind
When he has free time, he is spending it with you. He does try to have a healthy balance, but truth be told, Geto would rather be by your side 24/7, so if he has the option, he’s choosing you over his friends
While Geto might not be big on the other love languages, he will make it know through his words that he loves you. With him, you’ll never feel unsure about his feelings because he will tell you straight up
“There you are”, Geto says as he softly pads into the living room. “When I woke up, you weren’t there” he continues as he moves to sit down next you. “Sorry darling, I had some work I needed to finish up and I did not want to disturb you”, you respond, taking the time to give him a soft smile, pausing your work briefly. “No worries, I understand, I’m happy to just be here with you”, Geto tells you. “Give me five more minuets and then I promise I’ll be all yours”, you say before turning your focus back to your work. “Take your time, I’ll be here”, he responds, reaching to grab a book from the shelf behind the couch. A comfortable silence falls between the two of you, both content with doing your own thing, knowing the other was close by.
A/N: Anyone notice the little snippet for the upcoming Higuruma fic ;)

House Guest
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x reader
Word count: ~2.5k
Summary: You bring home a patient
A/N: Because I love pigs and want one
Warnings: Fluff, minimal angst, domesticity
Although you primarily treated cats and dogs at work, there was a rare time or two that someone would bring you an exotic pet that you were asked to treat. You usually were comfortable doing this, unless it was a snake or something with too many teeth, but today you’d been brought a pig. Their owner, a 14-year-old boy, had gotten him on Craigslist and apparently he was really sick, but the only thing you could find was that he was covered in mites.
So many mites.
You’d treated him and then tried to give him back to his owner, but apparently his mom had called and didn’t want a pig in the house. This put you in an awkward position, and after having an awkward conversation with the mother, you’d agreed to keep him for a few days. At least until the kid could get together an outdoor enclosure for his pet.
“Come on Winston. Time to go.”
So you and Winston the potbellied pig were headed home for the night. You’d had a long day and after trying to call Wanda to let her know of the plan and only getting her voicemail, you’d decided to just go home. You’re sure she’d be fine with it given that it was only for a few days.
You were mostly worried about how Fletcher would act. Boone was usually good with additions to the house just so long as you still paid attention to him. Fletcher on the other hand was a little more possessive. You were just going to have to hope that things worked out.
When you arrive home, Wanda isn’t back yet and you think about texting her to warn her, but you’re quickly distracted by Boone’s sudden appearance. You drop your phone back in your pocket and hurry to grab Winston from the ground before you shoot Boone a look.
“Boone, I brought someone home. He’s going to hang out for a few days so be nice, okay?”
Boone just sniffs the pig in your arms before you carefully set him down on the ground. Winston sniffs Boone too before he starts to wander around the living room curiously. You let him go as you set your things down and head to the kitchen. You have to make dinner, but you also have to feed the animals. You hadn’t gotten any food from Winston’s owner because he was currently feeding him potato chips and pretzels, so you’d stopped by the feed store to get a small bag for him. You find a bowl to pour it into and you let Winston sniff it before setting it down.
“Boone, no. Come here.”
You pull Boone away from Winston’s bowl and hurry to fill your dog’s bowl with a sigh. Once you see that Fletcher still has food in her bowl, you head back to the kitchen to figure out dinner for the humans. You glance at the clock and frown as you check your phone again.
Where is Wanda?
Wanda is eternally grateful that she smells something delicious as soon as she gets out of her car. She’s exhausted and a little sore from today, not to mention starving. She had breakfast when she left the house but has not eaten since. Her day had been hectic, and she’d spent too much of it chasing after a rogue employee and some ‘misplaced’ money. She’d ended up almost getting shot, and a little beaten up, but she got her money back. Not to mention the traitor was dead, so despite the exhaustion she felt right now, it wasn’t a bad day overall.
Wanda opens the door and the smell of dinner grows even stronger making her sigh contently. She shuts the door behind her and smiles at the sound of little footsteps. She sees Fletcher run up to her and she meows loudly before stretching out in front of her. Wanda leans over to pick her up with a groan. She holds her up and kisses her face before walking with her into the kitchen.
“Hi, Fletcher. How was your day? Busy too, I’m sure.”
Fletcher licks Wanda’s cheek before she breaks free and jumps on the counter. There is food still on the stove, but everything’s turned off which makes Wanda think that you finished up a while ago. She makes sure that Fletcher doesn’t stay on the counter long before she starts to head upstairs to find you.
“Y/n?”
She figures you must be resting upstairs, and as soon as she sees Boone come out of the bedroom she smiles. She greets the shepherd who yawns cavernously with a scratch behind the ears as she follows him back into the bedroom.
“Wands, in here!”
She heads down the hall toward the bedroom with a smile and pushes the door open slowly. She would love to shower before dinner, but she’s not sure she has the energy. She smiles when she sees you sitting on the ground, and she’s about to ask you how your day went when you turn around and reveal what’s in front of you.
“Hey, de—is that—why is there a pig in our bedroom?”
You sigh as you stand up and watch as Winston trots over to your wife to greet her. He snorts quietly and you can’t help but find it adorable as the duo greet each other. Well Wanda just stares at him in confusion and a little trepidation, while Winston sniffs her before moving to Boone who’s just standing behind your wife.
“This is Winston. He just needed a home for a few days while his parents figure out his housing. I tried calling you.”
Wanda hadn’t realized this given that she’d dropped and broken her phone earlier today. She goes to mention this, but she stops short and jumps slightly when she feels Winston run into her. You can’t help but laugh slightly and you don’t miss your wife’s glare as you shake your head with a sigh. You lean over to pick him up so he stops rubbing his wet nose on your wife, and you take a second to apologize for the possibly unwelcome surprise.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. He’ll stay downstairs, and –wait, what happened?”
When you stand up and are able to look more closely at Wanda you realize that she’s hurt. She has a bruise forming around her left eye and she has a busted lip. You berate yourself for not noticing this sooner, and you quickly reach out for your wife’s face. You watch her flinch slightly and your frown deepens when you realize someone had certainly hit her.
Wanda sighs in exhaustion before she shakes her head with a slight grimace. She doesn’t really want to get into it, but she knows you won’t accept no explanation at all. You’ve clearly had an interesting day, and she wants to hear about it, but she knows it will have to wait.
“Just a small confrontation is all. Nothing too exciting.”
Wanda doesn’t need to be looking at you to know that you’re shooting her an incredulous look. You open your mouth to argue, but as you spend a few seconds looking at your wife you realize how tired she is. Her eyes look weak and her shoulders are lowered as if something is weighing them down. You decide to wait and have this conversation later because you’d rather try and get Wanda to bed as fast as possible.
“More on that later, but for now, how about you shower while I get dinner ready?”
Wanda considers arguing because she doesn’t need you to wait on her, but the fatigue she feels in every muscle makes her simply nod in agreement. She smiles gratefully before leaning in to kiss you.
“Thank you, detka.”
You don’t miss how Wanda spares the pig, Winston, a glance before she disappears into the bathroom. You sigh as you look down at your temporary guest before deciding that you’ll get him settled while fixing Wanda’s dinner. You didn’t say anything because one seldom appreciated being told they looked exhausted, but Wanda looked dead on her feet. You’d be surprised if she managed to stay up long enough to eat.
For this reason, you rush out of the bedroom and down to the kitchen to make sure Wanda won’t have to wait for you. You hold Winston as you walk down the stairs because you’re afraid he’ll fall through one of the steps. When you set him down in the living room, you look to the pile of supplies you’d brought home.
You’ll deal with those in a minute.
Dinner first.
Wanda stifles a yawn as she comes downstairs twenty minutes later to find you smiling widely. She’s still wrapping her mind around the fact that there’s a pig in her house, but she figures she’ll get an explanation for that soon. She smiles as she watches you put together Winston’s pen while you ramble to the pets who are likely not listening.
“Alright Winston, you’ll sleep here tonight, okay? We’ll make sure Fletcher leaves you alone. Boone will probably watch you all night, but don’t let him worry you. He’s sweet. He doesn’t know he’s being creepy.”
The sound of Wanda laughing catches your attention, and you turn to see her sitting on the end of the couch watching you with an amused smile.
“You’re so adorable, detka.”
You almost roll your eyes, but decide that you’ll finish this up later. You stand up and kiss your wife’s cheek before you head to the kitchen to grab her dinner.
“Thanks! I’ll tell you about Winston in a minute, but first, what happened today?”
Wanda bites back a sigh as she considers the chaos that reigned for most of her day. She’s at least grateful that she can tell you that it’s resolved at this point. She focuses on this as she waits for you to bring her dinner. She had planned on following you to the kitchen, but she was quickly distracted by the pig that was sniffing his way around her living room.
She knew that you liked most animals, but she honestly never would have predicted that she’d be watching a pig wander around her house. She wonders if he’s litter trained because you’ve put a box in his pen along with some blankets and pee pads that she hopes will be enough to save the rug if push comes to shove.
“So Wands. What happened?”
Suddenly you’re in front of her again, and you’re sitting on the coffee table with a plate in your hands. You’re smiling at her despite focusing on her bruised eye. Wanda eyes the delicious smelling food in front of her, and realizes that she’s going to have to tell you what happened before she can eat. She frowns but doesn’t hesitate to shrug as she gives you a vague explanation.
“Someone who tried to shoot me only managed to punch me once…or twice.”
You frown and feel your heart skip a beat at the words that Wanda says in far too calm a tone for you to comprehend. You’re scowling by the time you hand Wanda her dinner, and you move to sit beside her with a worried look that you hide well. Well you figure your wife is focused on her food as you stare at Winston who’s sniffing the curtains at this point.
“That’s scary. Are you feeling, okay?”
You lean against Wanda before promptly sitting back up in case she’s hurt elsewhere. She simply offers you a smile before nodding in confirmation and leaning into you.
“I am. He just went for my face. The jerk.”
You can’t help but laugh at this despite the fact that your wife being hurt makes you equal parts sad and furious. You sigh as you let Wanda eat, but wrap an arm around her waist as you hold her close. You hear her sigh but the smile on her face tells you that she’s content rather than frustrated. You smile too and you kiss her cheek as you continue to watch your wife eat. You’re a little hungry too, but not enough to motivate you to stand and leave your wife’s company.
“I hope he looks worse than you do.”
Wanda doesn’t dwell on the fact, or even mention that he’s dead and she merely smiles at you before holding out her spoon for you.
“Oh definitely.”
You smile but shake your head when Wanda offers you some of her dinner. You’ll get some of your own later. Your wife doesn’t relent though and you eventually just sigh before taking a bite of the meal you spent longer than usual cooking. This was mostly because you were running around taking care of the animals, but it still turned out pretty well if you did say so yourself.
“Mmm good.”
Wanda grins before setting down her spoon and placing the plate in her lap. You reach out for your wife and turn her face toward you to get a better look at her bruises. You kiss the purpling skin before planting another kiss on her nose which makes Wanda giggle. The sound makes your heart race and you’re still smiling when Wanda leans in to kiss you.
She pulls away sooner than you want mostly because she doesn’t want her food to get knocked over. She watches you pout, but she grabs your hands and squeezes them with a curious look that steals your attention.
“So tell me about your pig friend.”
Wanda watches as you light up at the question, and she listens silently as you describe your day. It’s not until you start to apologize that Wanda cuts you off because despite the surprise she doesn’t mind. Hopefully nothing that happens tonight will change her mind.
“I should have waited until you called, but they looked so hopeful when I suggested they find someone to watch him for a few days. I had already expressed my interest in pigs, and told them about a thousand times how cute he was…I’m sorry Wands. If you want, I can try to figure--.”
You stop short when Wanda shakes her head before she relocates her plate to the coffee table. She shoots Boone a look and the shepherd just whines before she turns her attention back to you. You nearly yelp as Wanda pulls you into her lap, and the redhead laughs as you glare at her in faux annoyance.
“It’s okay, Y/n he’s kinda cute. You said he’s litter trained?”
You smile before nodding toward the litter that Winston’s kicking at right now. You’d left the pen open and he wandered in to do his business apparently. You laugh when he finishes and kicks his back legs as he jumps out of the box. You feel your heart melt a little when he plops down on the bed of blankets you set up for him. Wanda watches you fawn over Winston with a loving smile and for a second, she thinks that she’d be okay with you having a pet pig.
But only for a second.

Please hualian modern au fic. I want a 32 year old Xie Lian who's just gotten his life together (after a violently abusive relationship with his step father) even though he's living in studio apartment that's barely bigger than his second hand car that has had the 'check engine' light flashing for the past month but he hasn't had the time to actually do anything about it so it will keep flashing for now. He's rekindled his friendship with his two life long best friends that he'd parted ways with in college and they're both trying to help him in their own way but the status quo that used to exist among them has changed so much that the duo have lost their footing. Mu Qing in his effort to push Xie Lian to just live with him in his 2 bedroom apartment keeps making passive aggressive backhanded comments about Xie Lians living situation that he scolds himself for the moment he's alone. Whilst Feng Xin becomes an overprotective mother hen everytime Xie Lian so much as coughs but also keeps talking about how it's his cars fault, or his apartments fault, or it's about how his job as a janitor (best job he could find as a college drop out) is making him sick because of all the fumes from the cleaning supplies even though he knows Xie Lian of all people would be careful about that sort of thing.
But Xie Lian, for the first time in so many years, is so genuinely content with what he has. He has his fluffy cat waiting for him at home. He has an actual stove to cook his food instead of just cup noodles, and a working refrigerator which is all so amazing compared to the 6 years he spent homeless while trying to run away from his abuser.
Then he meets San Lang who asks him out on a date but instead of some fancy place he makes a picnic with homemade sandwiches and sparkling water and they would eat and play games and then look at the stars when it got late. Every date they go on always has San Lang doing something special but inexpensive because he knows tossing money at something isn't going to be what Xie Lian cares about.
It's revealed, of course, that San Lang was actually the 12 year old boy that 16 year old Xie Lian had saved from committing suicide by grasping his hand just before the little boy could let go. As San Lang got older, he craved to find Xie Lian again to tell him how much his help and words had meant to him. But when he stumbled on Xie Lian working as part of the clean-up crew at one of his events, suddenly the long forgotten crush he'd felt for his savior suddenly revealed itself after a very long time
And Xie Lian would realize that he wasn't just content. He was... actually.... happy.
He didn't wake up every morning with hope that it would be a good day. He knew it would be the second he opened the morning text San Lang sent to him every day. He doesn't eat alone anymore. San Lang always joins him on his meals, and if San Lang could persuade him, he would even take him out to eat somewhere he thinks Xie Lian would like. San Lang doesn't try to persuade Xie Lian to quit his job though, because he knows Xie Lian loves his work and the kids at the school. But he always makes it a point to drop him off and pick him up and if anyone's jaw drops to see the school janitor popping out of a sleek, dark red Ferrari, Xie Lian doesn't notice. Too busy giving his boyfriend his goodbye kiss.

Jake managed to convince his social media hating, because as she put it, it's a "toxic drama filled dumpster fire", girlfriend Tati to join him for his brand deal with @serenity-cc for their LIFT fitness clothing line Black Friday sale campaign.
In Tati's defense she only agreed because he was wearing her legs like a hat when he asked 😅.
It's also the first time the bartender/trust fund baby/personal trainer/ fitness influencer is revealing his 2 month long relationship to his 9.3 million followers 😳. Shit is about to hit the fan and here's why...
Story Lore Incoming:
For those of you who haven't seen Tati's LP on YouTube, 6 months ago Tati (30) got divorced from her high school sweetheart Thomas (31) (who is a famous basketball player) that she had been with for 15 years after she came home on her 30th birthday to find him cheating on her. And this was at a time when Tati was at her lowest because of a miscarriage after years of struggling with infertility. The miscarriage made her fall into a deep depression and gain a lot of weight.
After catching him cheating Tati demanded a divorce, so Thomas kicked her out onto the street with nothing but the clothes on her back and 20 simoleons in her bank account. That night she took her last 20 to a bar to drink away her sorrows, and that's where she met Jake (28) 🥰 while he was waiting to start his shift at the bar.
Jake gave her the pep talk she needed to motivate her to turn her life around. So she found a homeless shelter, got a job at a fast food joint, and started training with Jake (who she had no idea was a famous fitness influencer or a rich trust fund baby lol) to lose weight. And just 4 months later she had lost 60lbs, got promoted to manager at her job, and was living in a motel so she could have her own space while she saved up for an apartment. She was doing great!
That is until she had met up with her friends & family after not seeing them for a year, and her dirt bag ex husband decided to crash the reunion. They spent the whole time arguing and HE accused HER of cheating. THE NERVE!!!! Tati was furious after the encounter.
So in order to cheer her up Jake and her two bestfriends since childhood Lana (30) & Ava (29) took her to the club. Tati & Jake got FUCKED UP that night. All that licqa & weed in their system led to some flirting, that led to some bumpin' n grindin' on the dance floor, that led to some naked shenanigan in Tati's motel room.
The next morning instead of feeling regret for their drunken hookup, they talked about their secret crushes on each other and decided to give their relationship a go! Now 2 months later we are at the present day with this social media post to Jake's 9.3 million followers revealing his relationship with Tati. Unfortunately for Tati, Jakes followers are filled with a lot of sports fans who recognized her, despite her not having social media, as their favorite ball players ex-wife from the few times Thomas posted her on his social pages, posts he still hasn't deleted by the way.....odd.
Jake's post is going crazy viral. With people tagging Thomas, and gossip blogs "suggesting" that given how quick Tati got in a new relationship after the divorce she must have been cheating on Thomas with Jake this whole time, which must be the reason why they divorced.
Thomas has seen the post and he is PISSED for two reasons. One, because she looks so damn good, and two because he hates how fast she moved on. Mind you, this fool had been cheating on her for 2 years & she caught him on her BIRTHDAY. If that wasn't bad enough he accidentally got that bimbo is pregnant (she poked holes in the condom 😖) with his kid, but he's paying her to keep it hush hush because he had hopes of winning Tati back (give him a first class ticket to deluluville!). Now he's on a war path to ruin them.

Can I have Kyojuro/ sanemi with a s/o who is having trouble with her acne? There are days when the otc doesn’t work and everything feels crummy during some days in the cycle, would love a pick me up <3
Ultimate comfort
It’s the time of your month again- no, not the bloody one, but rather the gloomy, acne and depressed part of your cycle. Although, Sanemi is always ready to comfort you!
Pairing: Sanemi x gn!reader
Sanemi isn’t the best with kind words, nor does he look like he is, but he’s rather observant and attentive to you and your behaviours, meaning he noticed rather quickly how you were avoiding the mirrors and picking on your face more and more often subconsciously.
While you two were savouring a peaceful evening together where your husband doesn’t have to go on a mission or attend some meeting, Sanemi was relaxing on your shared bed, dressed in simple comfortable hakama pants, watching you frown and pout at yourself in the handheld mirror. While he was stuffing his face with sweets and snacks he had prepared beforehand, you avoided all sugary foods as if your life depended on it and gulping glas after glas of water like you didn’t survive of half a cup of water just last week is making his head steam in thought.
You’ve been just miserable, so what’s up with you?
A groan escaped his lips as he rolled over and slid off the mattress, stepping over to you with a tired frown. He gently grabbed the mirror out of your hands and threw it aside onto a cupboard. As you looked up at him in confusion, Sanemi grabbed you by your cheek and pulled on it.
“Whatcha even looking at for so long, huh? You’ve been scratchin’ and pouting all day. All week, maybe.”
You groaned and let your head fall back, sliding out of his grasp.
“I just feel so gross. My face— there’s so much texture and damn cysts, and I want to get it all away, but if I do, it’ll scar and become even worse!! I don’t wanna look in the mirror but at the same time I have to to-“
“Shut, shush. Shhh.”
Sanemi cut you off by closing your lips with his fingers. His face contorted into a scowl while staring down at your face. He isn’t angry at you or disgusted in any way, he’s angry at why you’re thinking like that.
“Tch, don’ talk like that. You shouldn’t care about stupid spots. Hell no.”
Your cheek was gently grabbed by your husband, whining as he pulled at him.
“You’re gorgeous. Always have been, always will be. Shitty weeks come and go, jus’ tell me what to do and I’ll get on my hands n’ knees for you if it makes you feel better.”
“But-“
“Nuh uh, no buts.”
He harshly cut you off and leaned down to you, placing a long kiss on your forehead with a loud “mwah”.
“You’re too damn hard on yourself. Everyone’s got crap they don’ like about themselves, but you? You’ve got more good in you than you give yourself credit for.”
Sanemi’s hand came to rest on top of your head, gently running his fingers through your hair. His tone and words may be a little gruff and he may have pulled on your cheek a little too harshly, but he’s just trying to show his support. Again, he may not be good with words but he is trying his best to show his love in other ways.
He doesn’t let you spiral in your thoughts too long, instead dragging you to the kitchen for snacks, outside for a walk or to bed for a cuddle, forcing you to do something nice with him in order to keep your thoughts away.
And if you really, really want to, Sanemi’ll let you put on a stupid face mask on his face. Everything to make you feel better.
💠
I hope you feel better! Apologies for not writing for this much earlier, I hope the timing was right anyway :,) Also if you like, I can also write a Kyojuro part of this! I thought I should write a little something for Sanemi again since last week was pretty much all about Kyo XD Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this 🫶🫶
Anyways, make sure to EAT, SLEEP and DRINK enough!!
Take care of yourselves, mentally and physically <33
#💠 house of vry 💠#demon slayer#demon slayer x reader#kny x reader#fluff#demon slayer hashira#sanemi x reader#sanemi x you#demon slayer sanemi#sanemi#sanemi shinaguzawa#kny sanemi#kimetsu no yaiba sanemi#sanemi shinazugawa#sanemi x y/n#demon slayer shinazugawa#shinazugawa x reader#shinazugawa#kny shinazugawa#demon slayer x y/n#kny x y/n#kny x you

Maybe as a reward for repairing his friend, the creature showed Jack the hydroponics! The Boys are slowly running out of stocks - plus they have an additional (heavy) eater on board now ö.��
The plants here are well cared of by the devices and bots - and already harvestable! Jack is fascinated by everything space and scifi and exploring alien plants is a long-held dream of his ^^' Jack called Jeb over, since the two of them are in charge of their greenhouse and garden at their home too. Jeb was still trying to repair the ship, but food has priority atm. He's is not quite as excited as Jack...
Jeb: "Only - we don't know any of these flora - and if they're edible. Sure, some of the harvestables look familiar, but they grow on these unfamiliar plants..." But he started to research anyway ^^'
Jack spotted the Sixam Fly Trap: "Well, I surely remember this little guy!"
(The Boys had a Sixam Fly Trap at the Invisible Farm in Summer 2023. Jack thought it was cute that it looked like Saiwa and he teased him with a photo of it ^^') It looks like this when it just snapped a fly. Being proud of himself.
'I've given you southern exposure To get you to thrive I've pinched you back hard Like I'm s'posed ta You're barely alive I've tried you at levels of moisture From desert to mud I've given you grow-lights And mineral supplements What do you want from me, blood?'
Little Shop of Horrors - Grow for me The MV linked above is from the Movie and the cutest thing!
Jack took a photo of this one too: "It's so cute! We could put the photo in your quarters." But Jeb stopped him. Sai is already stressed enough... (The post-it below the photo says: "Captain Saiwa II. Just as sharp-toothed and snappy as his namesake.")
Great A'Tuin's communication system still doesn't work (good job, alien creature...), so they have no access to external data or intergalactic search engines. But they could check the ship's internal database. And that's what they did. There they are! Sheets with information about all of the plants (created by Albaleyh herself when she used to work here). And they are all classified as edible. Some are even of medical use! Jeb: "After we resolved the food issue, we could check if any of them could be of help for Ji Ho's travel sickness!" Jack: "That would be awesome!"
Jeb and Jack picked a few of the strange vegetables and fruits and went over to the kitchen. Great A'Tuin's database even offers recipes and information about how to prepare them and which parts to use. Jack: "I really hope we don't end up like the poor little guys in those jars after eating these dishes... But somehow we'll have to find out if we can really eat them - and survive." For a moment Jeb considered if he should say goodbye to Saiwa before dinner ö.Ö'
But then the 'Curious Pizza' was ready to eat and Jack couldn't wait to taste it. It's been too long. Jack loves his pizza, no matter the toppings ^^'
Jeb: "Eh... if something happens. Tell Saiwa I love him." Jack: "Hey, let's keep a little optimism here!"
Lol, Jeb set the table with a flask of medicine for each ^^'
(And, of course, Jack refused to eat sitting at the table -.- I already replaced the tables and locked the door. Last time Kiyoshi and Jack ran outside... Next time I'd locked the door and they sat to eat on the cooler box or ate while standing omg... I mean, they already sit and have the food in front of them, why pick it up and go somewhere else?)
Jack: "But it was quite delicious! If we die, we die satisfied and well sated, hm?" If you have a friend like Jack, you don't need no enemies hahaha
Outtakes
Jack already had a stressful day. And on top of that, Greg called him ^^' He surely does not want to be like Greg - ever! And the only one to ever put an effort in trying to raise Jack was Uncle Stefan. (And Saiwa hahaha)
And then the first of his 'Curious Pizza' vanished right from the oven! So he had to make another one... Maybe the creature will find it ^^' Or the Boys - when it starts to smell ö.ö (I already wondered why Sai is complaing in the pic above. There is no dirt ö.ö (edit: It was a bunch of hairs from the cat creature, which was just as grey as the spaceship's floor...)

I FUCKING LOVED MASTERMIND HADUFHHDUIDF I HAVE TO RAMBLE ABOUT IT!! SPOILERS LOL
also warning this is long as hell
-Andrealphus's house is surrounded by snow, as is his whole theme. It kinda reminds me of the mythology of hell's frozen center.
-I fucking love stella guys. I'm sorry. I hate her so fucking much and I want to shit on her dreams, and that is EXACTLY why I love her character so much. I'm so glad she's getting more development.
-Andrealphus didn't know about the deal, just that Stolas cheated. So Stella REALLY didn't tell him much.
-I like Andrealphus's peacock theming
-"Now you fucking know!" icon.
-I really like the detail of them using Moxxie and Blitz's mugshots, as well as Millie's wanted poster. It's a really good illustration of how authority figures will do anything they can against minorities, and really pushes the themes of classism and oppression in the show.
-Blitz immediately running to delete his search history, me core.
-He's so scared of going to jail again :(
-"We are going to beat you! But only a little!"
-She's exactly like her fucking dad. She cares SO MUCH deep down, but puts on that 'indifferent asshole' attitude to protect herself.
-"The shredder is jammed!!" D:
-These poor interns
-Blitz, of course, crashes immediately.
-Moxxie uses 'Blitz' instead of 'sir'
-THE MUZZLE. I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF.
-I wanna note as they walk in, Satan is acting in place of lucifer, since he's too busy with the Hotel stuff. He claims he was in hell BEFORE Lucifer, but I take that with a good spoonful of salt.
-"Is this about the orphans?" HUH?
-Dude these motherfuckers keep deadnaming Blitz and it pisses me off! Like I get that's the point but still.
-The sloth and envy sins are here!
-I really like Vassago. It seems like he really cares about fair due process in general, but he also seems to have some sort of beef with Andrealphus.
-"Since when is ATTEMPTING a crime illegal am I right?" You stupid bastard.
-"LIES!!" STFU
-I've seen a few people question why Andrealphus would go straight after Blitz instead of Stolas, since he wants him gone so bad, but the answer is simple. Andrealphus KNOWS there's pretty much nothing he can do to demon royalty, especially since Stolas was considered above him on the Goetia food chain. Going after the imp, a member of an already extremely marginalized group, was simply a safer bet.
-I wish Ozzie and Bee spoke up more. It seems ooc, but at the same time we don't know how big the power imbalance is between Satan and the rest of the sins. (Aside Lucifer)
-"A responsible and handsome Goetic demon such as myself-" You should kill yourself, NOW!!
-They never wanted to let him speak up in the first place.
-"Put his kind to shame" BRO HE BAGGED DEMON ROYALTY.
-wtf is up with Satan and his little meditator twink assistant
-YES VASSAGO!! BRING UP THAT HE'S NOT HERE! IT'S ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT THAT STOLAS WASN'T INFORMED AND CLEARLY INDICATES ANDREALPHUS HAS OTHER MOTIVES!! YES HE SHOULD BE SUMMONED!!
-God I love Vassago I hope he's a reoccurring character
-"didn't want him to go through the trauma of facing his aggressor' is such a thinly veiled argument, but no one fucking cares because Blitz is just an imp.
-WHY IS STRIKER HELPING DEMON ROYALTY. Does he hate Blitz that much because he associated with them? Is he getting paid? Was he threatened?
-"If I wanted to kill Stolas, I would've done it myself." Good point, HORRIBLE wording.
-"oh he just fucked himself over."
-I am so sorry your boss is a fucking moron
-PLEASE Bee and Ozzie you can do better than "He probably has a good reason for all of this!"
-Bee throwing dick popsicles at Mammon, I love you girl.
-God I hate this classist piece of shit
-He KNOWS smthn is up.
-The immediate cut to a Mammon joke after our mcs are SENTENCED TO DEATH really shows how little higher class demons care about imps and hellhounds
-We obviously know They're not ACTUALLY gonna kill any of them off, but I was still biting my fuckin nails dawg
-What an EVIL move.
-Fizz and Ozzie's full conversation before this. So, Ozzie most likely had no idea the trial was for Blitz.
-Side note, but I'm kinda surprised Fizz and Ozzie dating wasn't brought up aside from that line from Mammon about Ozzie and Bee 'associating with the lower class'.
-wtf is up with Satan? If this were any other sin, Ozzie would not HESITATE to clock their ass. Just look at s2 ep7!
-"NOT THEM YOUR HIGHNESS!" What if I cried.
-"you're acting kinda ruby" GET OUT OF HERE TWINKIE
-"I suppose I created impkind to be obedient" Motherfucker those are people.
-"Just axe the mouthy one" It's so in-character for Blitz to not assume himself to be the mouthy one
-He still careeeesss augh!! He sounded so distressed
-"We'll pretend to care" So accurate! Ouch!
-"Moxxie, stop. This big red bitch never planned on hearing us out."
-HER FACE. "Just take care of Loona for me" WHAT IF I FUCKING CRIED.
-Fun fact this is the part of the episode where I started bawling like a loser
-"I love you guys" I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF. IM GONNA DO IT FUCK
Uhh I have to reblog to continue this bc I hit the image cap halfway through lmfaoo

next month me and my grandma are going to visit my godfather who lives in Spain, but instead of being excited (it's gonna be my second time abroad in my life) I'm anxious af, because even though I'm an adult I live with my parents and I need to tell my father about it. normal parents would - y'know - be happy that their children have opportunity to visit another country, but instead he's gonna be insufferable about it, because it's my mom's side of family and he despises my uncle. but what is he gonna do? kick me out of the house even though he promised that as long as I'm studying or working I don't need to worry about such thing, humiliate me as usual, tell me that I'm childish and spoiled or make my mom's life a living hell again? I'm aware of the fact that the longer I'm putting it off the worse his reaction is gonna be, but I'm just not mentally able to tell him that, because I don't know how he will react. I don't need any money from him, I don't have to use my phone during this trip (I dunno how the roaming and stuff work), I just want to be sure he's gonna behave like a proper human being towards my mom and my siblings when I won't be at home and not act like a total asshole while talking with me about it.
#i know that at my age i should be more mature and handle such situations better but as long as he's the way he is it's impossible#why can't both my parents be normal#and the fact that i wasn't able to get any summer job this year isn't making it any better because i know it's gonna be one of his argument#(czaicie to że nawet do żabki mnie nie chcieli. dosłownie emotional i brain damage)#'you didn't work so from where do you get the money for that'#don't worry definitely not from you because you can't even pay for my monthly train ticket to college#and at the same time have the audacity to call me dumb for commuting there instead of living in that city#while knowing that neither me nor mom can afford renting anything without your help#(okay i'm a bit exaggerating in my mom's case but she earns much less than him and he still makes problems with literally anything#even buying food even though he's in a very good financial situation and there are times when my mom has to make everything work all alone#because he's getting mad at her out of nowhere and only pays the bills that fortunately aren't that bad in our case)#(and unfortunately the bills include my telephone subscribtion because all of our numbers are in some kind of special offer where you pay#much less for one number when they're registered for one person so it's another problem in this situation because when i offered paying for#mine he refused and probably it'll be his another argument for becoming mad that i dare to spend time with the part of family that cares#about me unlike majority of his relatives)#i hope that at least when academic year starts i'll be able to get any part-time job on the weekends so i can save up more money#although i'm not sure if i'm gonna move out in the nearest future. i mean he's fucking insufferable and toxic but i just can't leave my mom#and especially siblings there even though i can't even fucking protect them from literally anything. at this point i'm just powerless.#there are times when he tries to change for the better but then he starts creating problems on purpose and everything is coming full circle#and the sole thought that my little siblings would tell me that i just ran away from this problem is fucking killing me.#niedziela wieczór i humor niegituwa. zawsze kurwa kurwa coś.#chuj idę słuchać myslovitz#pau.txt

5 years ago, I was in Rehab.
10 years ago, I was watching my Potential and Opportunities dissolve and evaporate in an ocean of cheap gin and expensive whiskey.
But 5 years ago, I was in Rehab.
One of the exercises they had us perform was to imagine ourselves happy, 5 years in the future.
Many of us in that room had forgotten how to imagine nice things happening to them. A few snorted (well, I snorted), finding the notion that we’d even still be around in 5 years grimly humorous.
For about half of us, it was the last stop on the way down.
But I indulged the therapist. I was there, after all, because I did not want to die. So, I imagined myself, 5 years hence.
Happy.
It came to me all at once; an artistic remix on Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want, reframed with myself placing food at the table.
Sunday Dinner At My Place, I answered, when it came my turn to share my fantasy. I was asked what food I imagined eating.
It’s not the meal itself, I said, it’s the implications framed around it. Sunday Dinner At My Place means that I have a Place. It means that I have Family that will actually speak to me and friends who actually want to see me. It means money enough not just to feed myself but others too. It means having the time to spare to take the time preparing the meal.
A lot of nodding heads all around me. A struck chord. Many people with no Place, in that place. Nowhere that would lament their leaving.
5 years hence, as I lay down to sleep in my Home, with my Wife and my Son, surrounded by my Art and my Flowers, I reflect.
It was a long road. It was hard. We lost people. So many people. There were long days and long nights and hospital stays. Angry arguments with ghosts. I changed, in ways I never hoped for, or expected. Good ways, finally, for once. Slowly, against the backdrop of a world in chaos, I found my mind.
Sometimes, My Wife wondered aloud, what she did to deserve me. After some stumbling with my feelings, I eventually settled on an answer.
I’m a Rescue.
She gave me a Home.
And, so, I gave her a Family.
It seemed fair
This Sunday, my folks, which whom I have not had a shouting match in years, will come over for dinner. We will cook and eat together. My Friend became My Wife, and she took a piece of me and with it she made Our Son. There will be many hugs, and no violence. Good Things Happened.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t know what the future holds.
don’t give up yet, ok?
It could get good, even.

Back from Michigan, anything cool happen here while I was gone?
#technically have been back a few days but i've been recuperating/reading/not on this site#most of the trip was good but I did *so* much driving (bestie has lived in brooklyn too long to remember how cars go)#and I am too old to sleep on couches#though even when I wasn't sleeping on a couch (got one night in a bed and one on an air mattress) I barely slept?#gonna also blame this on age#most important part of the trip is of course that we made incredible time#under 11 hours from suburban detroit to brooklyn even though we stopped for gas/lunch/etc#and were beset by rain and mist for much of the drive#the wedding we went to was nice and we went sailing in the saginaw bay with friends of 20+ years and experienced nature and ate good food#but really...look at that time#625 miles in under 11 hours#physically I may be a childless/child-free woman but spiritually i am at least half dad#now that i'm back i have been lounging and re-reading the stormlight archive books#i have a weird relationship with them#in that i find them 'decent-to-good but frequently tedious' but i will tear up every time someone takes their radiant oath#fifth book coming out in december though so i might as well be fresh for it#primary hope is (stormlight archive 4th book spoilers) maya wakes up all the way and adolin gets some cool powers#doesn't have to be strictly edgedancer just something fun for my boy#damn that was a tangent and a half

Oh baby I am getting way to ambitious with my current oni run for someone who's laptop starts screaming anytime it opens steam
#rat rambles#oni posting#Ive started expanding my base area not for the sake of providing more living space or whatver but so I can build a museum#Im going to have an artifact section an art section and ideally a critter section if I can decide how I would go abt that#Im also going to have a sporechid exhibit since Ive never actually tried to use them before#its going to be right above the biobot room since thats going to be the entrance of the museum#I may also further expand downwards at some point to build a mega relaxation section with as many rec buildings as I can affort to maintain#more focus on variety that pure numbers tho I just wanna use the stuff I usually never use#and lemme tell you my dupes will use none of them since theyre too obsessed with their damn phones but its ok I forgive them#now one thing thats going to be annoying abt this project is that for the critter section Im going to need a Lot of glass#the goal is to keep one wild creature in each containment room and to have each be fairly healthy for the critter#now I definitely wont be doing every critter as quite franky I dont have space for that#currently my only real plan is for an oakshell exhibit but I wanna do more of them#maybe a cuddle pip one would work? Id also like a shine bug one but idk how exactly to go abt it#mainly because ideally Id want one of the fancier shine bugs but I am firm on keeping these guys wild#and itd probably take a lot of work to get a wild radiant bug or smth#well more like a lot of time#I could just try to get a more middle of the pack shine bug and just call that good enough#Im pretty sure shine bug morph rates only change when they eat so in theory I could get away with taht#although technically speaking the morph odds can always just happen anyways so maybe I just leave it and hope for the best#like I have the food to spare I could very easily breed fancy shinebugs if I wanted to again I just wanna keep them wild#but yeah other critter options probably include dreckos and maybe a long haired slickster if I feel like putting in the effort#a drecko exhibit would be pretty simple tho Id just have to decide which morph#Im unsure if I wanna do a hatch exhibit or not simply because I dont have ideas to make it look cool#like I feel like for a hatch Id want it to be a stone or smooth hatch but again the breeding problem arises#now one thing I should definitely do at some point is go grab a gassy moo for the museum but thats a maybe project#mostly because I still have trauma from the last time I did a gassy moo trip lol#speaking off I still need to build a rocket that can actually be used to explore new planets#so far all my rocketry has been for data banks and artifacts#although I did just today get my first drillcone rocket up and running
