#love me some milka chocolate

[neewtmas]

also our town (I think I told supposedly we have a sister city in Germany?? Idk I’m not from here 😭) set up a Christmas market and it was adorable!! And I got a picture of these for you because it is very funny to me how German they make everything lol. SO. ARE THESE CANDIES IN GERMANY??

Ahhhh I love this!! I so badly wanna go to one of these because I feel like it would be so funny

And for once, this is actually very accurate! Milka is basically the main chocolate brand around here (it's basically like cadbury in the UK i think) and RitterSport (the little quadratic ones at the bottom) is really well known and popular as well! Both are very good chocolate, you should definitely try them out. Imo the best is always just the basic milk chocolate even though both brands have a lot of different fancy editions😋😋

Anything (Pt.48)

We finished our bath, which lasted much longer than necessary since we dragged the bath out as long as possible. As Matty gently washed my hair and the rest of my body, we took our time, savouring every touch, kissing each other tenderly on whatever skin we could reach from where we lay, over and over, allowing our hearts to slowly repair as they steeped in each other's presence. 

Afterwards, Matty dried us both off, clothing us in his comfiest sweatsuits, and then placed me on his couch before turning and walking out of the room. Moments later he reappeared with his duvet and several pillows from the bedroom, then began placing them around me, tucking me in tightly.

"Wait, wait, wait, stop," I said as he wrapped me up like a cocoon. He froze, looking up at me skeptically with a raised eyebrow.

"Why?" he asked dubiously.

"Because I want you under here with me," I answered innocently. When he didn't concede immediately, I made sure to pout slightly so he wouldn't turn down my request.

He bit his lip as he fought internally about what would be best for me, finally caving after a few moments.

"Fine," he said as he resumed tucking me in. I raised my eyebrow at him in question and he quickly finished before continuing. "But I'm getting you snacks first," he said as he stood up, wagging a finger at me, then promptly turned on his heel and walked out the door. I couldn't help but laugh, then reached for the remote and began to scroll through Netflix as I tried to decide on something to watch. I settled on a lighthearted rom-com and nestled myself deeper under the covers as I began to watch.

Only a few minutes later, my phone began to ring. I chuckled as I saw the smile of Matty's contact photo light up on my screen, rolling my eyes as I picked it up.

"You can't possibly be calling to check in on me- you've been gone all of five minutes, Matty," I said incredulously as I answered.

"I'm just walking to the shop- I'm grabbing you a bunch of things, but are you in the mood for anything specific? We'll order lunch in, but any snack cravings?" he asked earnestly.

"I'm okay, Matty, honestly. I'm fine with just lunch," I laughed.

"But what about after? Just tell me what to get," he insisted.

"I'm honestly not very hungry," I said. I listened to his silence on the line, then I realized he wasn't going to take no for an answer. I sighed.

"Some chocolate, I guess? That Milka one we both like with the biscuits? And maybe some juice?" I gave in.

"Perfect," he said, his smile audible. "Anything else?"

"Matty," I replied sternly.

"Oh, hush, or else I'm going to call Agatha- she'll take my side and we both know it," he said sassily as the familiar bustle and beeps of the grocery store buzzed in the background.

"Goodbyyye, Maaatty," I sang.

"See you soon, my love," he said sweetly into the phone before hanging up.

Some 15 minutes later, I heard Matty climbing up the stairs, then reappear in the doorway carrying what must have been at least five or six grocery bags stuffed to the brim. As he carried them to the kitchen counter, I stood up and walked over to him, wrapping my arms around him from behind, earning a yelp from him.

"Anna-" he began to protest at my non-horizontal state.

"MATTY!" I yelled as my eyes landed on one of the bags which had tipped over, its entire contents spilling out of the bag and onto the counter. The bag was chock-full of Milka chocolate bars.

"I'm going to be gone for a couple more days! I didn't want you to run out!" he reasoned.

My eyes scanned the contents of the rest of the bags which were full to the brim with canned soups, heating pads, a variety of fruits including a dozen lemons, multiple bottles of honey, several different kinds of tea, various medicines, and every kind of juice you could imagine, including orange, apple, mango, pomegranate... I even saw a thermometer peeking out of one of the bags. He'd gone completely overboard, and while I found his overreaction entirely unnecessary, I was also so incredibly touched. I'd never had someone take care of me the way Matty did.

I tightened my grip around his waist as I nuzzled my head into his back.

"Thank you, babe," I whispered meaningfully into the hood of his sweatshirt.

"Hey," he said, raising his arms before turning around in my embrace so he could wrap his own arms around me. "Anything for you, my love. Anything," he said as his large palm cupped the back of my head tenderly.

Less than an hour later, once we were finally both settled under the covers on the couch with our bellies both full of takeout butter chicken, Matty turned to me, his eyes soft with care.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Tired," I answered honestly. "Kind of feel hungover, but different. I guess I feel a bit anxious too. Mostly just tired though," I said with a yawn as Matty nodded attentively. "I also feel pretty upset about... what happened... last night, but I don't really wanna talk about that now. I'm definitely too tired for that..."

"I'm sorry, darling-" he answered as he wove his fingers through my hair, running them down to my neck where he began to massage the tense muscles. "-for everything... Are you anxious about anything in particular?"

"I'm anxious about everything in particular," I sighed. "I think it's from the roofies though- the doctor warned me that I might feel some anxiety or depression from the leftover drugs in my system..." I said as I closed my eyes and let Matty work some of the stress out of my body. "But honestly I'm too tired to really think too much right now- I feel like I just ran 17 marathons back to back."

"You should get some sleep, darling," he said softly into my ear before kissing my earlobe gently, then reached for the remote to turn the movie off.

"No, I like this," I said, putting my hand on his. "This is keeping me relaxed, and I wanna enjoy your company as long as I can," she said, a tinge of sadness in my voice. We both knew he had to leave in the morning. "Please? Let's just do this a little longer."

Matty caved, moving both our hands to his chest. I smiled at him happily, and he smiled back before his eyes returned to the movie. It wasn't until now that I noticed the huge bags under his eyes. He looked exhausted.

"Maybe we should sleep, actually," I said.

He looked back at me quizzically. I placed my hand on his cheek, running my thumb along the purple crescents.

"When's the last time you slept, baby?" I asked him softly.

He averted his eyes, clearly uninterested in sharing this information with me.

"The other night," he said nonchalantly, his eyes staring at the TV but not following any of the movements.

"Which other night?" I pried.

He sighed before his eyes turned back to mine sadly.

"Two nights ago," he answered honestly. Before I could begin to fuss over him, he cut me off. "I'm totally fine," he assured me, "I promise. I don't even feel tired."

I didn't have the energy to bicker, so I gave up for now and decided I'd try again later.

As we settled back into the movie, I noticed he kept looking at his phone, reading text messages and sending off his own, his fingers fidgeting anxiously with the duvet between texts.

"What's wrong, Matty?" I said, turning to look up at him

"Oh nothing, darling," he said, smiling down at me sweetly, but his smile didn't quite reach his eyes before they flitted back to the TV.

"Matty," I said with gentle sternness, taking his hand into mine and getting his attention again. "You don't have to tell me, but please don't lie to me," I said gently as I looked into his now saddened eyes.

"There's nothing I wouldn't share with you, darling," he said as he turned my hand over in his and opened my fingers. "But I don't want to worry you- you're meant to be taking it easy," he explained, rubbing my palm with his thumb.

"I'd feel a lot better if my boyfriend wasn't stressing out all alone," I offered.

"I know you want to help because you're such a selfless, giving angel, Anna," he said between the little kisses he planet on my forehead, "but it's too much to handle right now," he admitted earnestly. "I don't think I have it in me right now," added quietly, his eyes turning to look down at our fingers which now interlaced.

"Let me help. I have it in me," I said, giving his large hand a squeeze. "Let me take some of the weight off you."

"I'm afraid you don't have it in you either right now, Anna. You need to be resting," he said quietly, his eyes looking up at me, pleading. "Let me just deal with it on my own for now. I promise I'll tell you once you've rested up a bit."

"You don't have to do this alone, Matty," I said encouragingly.

His brow creased as his eyes turned pained with guilt, scanning my face for forgiveness. 

"You've already been through enough," he said so quietly, almost to himself. He turned away before mumbling, "You don't deserve this..."

"What do you mean, Matty? What happened?" I asked worriedly, sitting up straight.

Matty put his hand on my back and began to rub it soothingly. His eyes looked even guiltier now.

"There's been another article..." he admitted nervously with a look of worry. "It came out this morning. It's more of the same. My PR team is doing what they can and I've just been messaging with them about making sure your comments are turned off on your social media this time. I don't want to risk adding any more stress to your life right now..."

My stomach dropped. I couldn't lie, I was upset. But I was too tired to feel anything more than annoyed at this moment. 

"Fucking assholes..." I muttered to myself. I sighed audibly, then leaned back into Matty's chest, melting into his arms as they wrapped around me. 

We'd been lying like that in silence for a while before I noticed Matty's heart beating faster than normal against my back.

"I'm not too worried," I said quietly before I tilted my head back to look up at him. "We have our plan in motion, remember?" I said with a small smile.

"You're not upset?" he asked in confusion.

"Well yeah, a bit," I answered honestly, "but if the last few days have taught me anything, it's that none of it matters." I peered into his worried eyes as I readjusted myself to look at him better, and he watched my every move intently.

"Nothing's more important than us, Matty," I said firmly. "Nothing."

"But you've been through so much, Anna..." he breathed, his brow creased deeply with pain. 

"And I'll go through a lot more, I'm sure," I replied. I shrugged slightly. "But it's all worth it if it means that at the end of the day, I have you."

"I don't know if I agree with that..." he mumbled. He noticed my look of hurt and quickly corrected himself. "I just mean that my world has been bringing you nothing but pain and stress and hurt since we've met, and sometimes I worry you might be better off without me."

I frowned deeply at him.

"Saying something stupid like that again, I dare you," I threatened with a playful glint in my eye. "I know I'm weak right now, but that won't stop me from trying to smack the ridiculous out of you."

This earned a chuckle from Matty, and the sound made my heart skip a beat.

"But seriously, the pain of living life without you would far exceed anything either of us has gone through since we met by at least infinity," I reassured him as I leaned toward his face, planting a kiss on his cheek. "I promise."

"Well that I can agree with," he said with a small smile as he kissed the tip of my nose.

I settled back into my favourite spot, burrowing deeper against Matty's chest as I nestled myself into the crook of his arms. His arms wrapped around me snugly and we both sighed- a mixture of annoyance at our situation and happiness that we were together.

"We should go to bed if you're tired, I don't have to keep watching," I said as Matty kissed the top of my head.

"No, I want to keep hanging out. I love spending time with you too much," he said sweetly. "I promise, I'm not even tired."

I reached to grab a piece of the chocolate bar that lay unwrapped on the couch next to us, along with several other snacks Matty had picked up for us, and munched away quietly as I continued to watch the movie.

A few minutes later, I noticed something familiar in the next scene: the familiar rectangular box Matty's band used for their merch on the t-shirt of an extra walking far in the background.

"Oh look, Matty!" I said, tapping his chest gently with my finger. When he didn't respond, I peered up to find him fast asleep, his lips parted slightly as he breathed in and out slowly, his chest rising and falling with his breath. He looked so relaxed, finally asleep after such a whirlwind few days, yet his arms stayed tightly wrapped around me. I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you," I whispered quietly, almost to myself as I looked up at his angelic face, and he tilted his head to the side, nuzzling it into mine as he pulled me in closer against him, then smacked his lips lightly all while deep asleep before settling back into his still and deep slumber with a new little smile.

Viddying the Nasties | Deep Red (Argento, 1975)

I always like to throw on some Argento every Spooky Season, and as the only one I'd watched so far these last few weeks was Giallo with Adrian Brody, and as I was listening to this one's soundtrack on the way to work this morning, I figured it was time for another viewing. Now, I've been turning into the type of person who will eventually shed tears after I watch a horror movie enough times, but I must report that I did no such thing with this viewing. Who knows, maybe next time I watch it I'll cry during the arm wrestling scene. Not tears of sadness because I'm lamenting David Hemmings' defeat to Daria Nicolodi, but tears of joy as this is the first step in him overcoming his male chauvinism and becoming a better man. We could all learn a little something from this scene.

I'd previously only seen the uncensored American version from the Blue Underground DVD, which I understand has all the violence intact but loses over twenty minutes of character scenes. To be honest, I didn't think the shorter version is the most tightly paced thing in the world, so naturally the longer version isn't either, especially as it runs more than two hours long. All that being said, this is definitely Argento moving away from the rhythms of the hero's investigation and letting the movement of the camera and the shot sequencing take over in propelling the movie forward, so maybe wonky pacing is more of a feature than a bug. I always like hanging out in his classics, so more runtime isn't necessarily a problem for me.

That being said, let me weigh one concrete point in each version's favour. The American version has the English dub, so we get David Hemmings' real voice, which has a lovely texture, more finely aged than his voice in Blow Up, and maybe the age and wear suggests he's a bit old fashioned, but it also suggests that he's accumulated or is capable of accumulating some wisdom. He's not perfect, but he's willing to learn, and his voice is maybe not silky smooth, but it's got its charms. The Italian version has more scenes with Daria Nicolodi, including one where she and Hemmings drink coolers in her crappy car while his seat is at a noticeably lower altitude, and another where she does a weird dance on the way to the door after dumping a picture of his super sexy ex in the garbage. I always loved the screwball repartee of these characters, and there's more of that here.

The copy on the Criterion Channel opens with a disclaimer about its restoration, and while there have been more than a few restoration jobs that leave a movie's colours looking substantially different than previous versions, I can safely report that this felt true to the visual character of the version I'd previously seen. The colours are certainly richer, but they're still true to their chocolatey character, white chocolate for the lighter colours, dark chocolate for the darker scenes, milk chocolate for a bunch of shades in between, the ones with cherries in them that nobody likes for the blood. This movie is like a box of chocolates. You never know when you're gonna get STABBED! Hah! Bet you didn't see that coming. No, I'm not eating a box of chocolates right now, but I did nibble on a bar of some Hungarian chocolate brand that I picked up at the European grocery near my local multiplex. Pretty good, but I'd recommend grabbing a Milka bar as a priority if you ever drop by such a place.

Anyway, apologies if my ramblings have been even more inane than usual, but the point is, the movie rocks, and I got out any remotely non-stupid thoughts I had about this time in my last review. I will add that I appreciated this time around how much detail Argento is able to sketch out about the Macha Meril character despite her limited screentime. I know dullards like to characterize him as a misogynist or misanthrope, but I have a hard time agreeing when he can treat them with such warmth. Also, the violence in his movies is usually too stylish and elaborately orchestrated to disturb me, but the bit with the bearded guy's teeth had me wincing pretty hard this time around.

[copias-juicebox]

Need some form of entertainment, love? 😏 Lemme hit ya with 15, 25, 31, 39, 42, and 43

SATAN YES PLEASE!! Thank you for hearing my call 😂 🙏🏻

Let’s see what interests you

15. Fav movie? Ugh… fucking hell girl that is a hard one right at the start… mhm i‘ll probably have to go with lord of the rings. Return of the King or the two towers. I have seen these an ungodly amount of times now and i am still not sick of them. The whole franchise is a comfort franchise for me.

25. my idea of a perfect date? Oh the possibilities are fucking endless. I‘m a big fan of cozy and comfortable dates.. doesn‘t have to be a spectacularly fancy date. I dunno making dinner together at their place and some cozy moments on the couch sound pretty damn heavenly to me. If we‘re going out i‘m a big fan of concerts. Attending concerts together is another fav. (As a child i always wanted to have some picknick at a beach and just enjoy the crashing waves and the salty air but that was when i was a hopeless romantic child 😅)

31. what my last text message says? You know what it says. 😏

39. fav ice cream flavor? Salted caramel or cookie dough 🤤

42. last thing i ate? PUSSY! 😂 Jk uh milka chocolate.

43. sexiest person that comes to my mind immediately? Oh what a tricky one. It‘s tender father of course but i‘ve been giffing joakim thåström again and he is veeeeeeery close to taking in the forefront of my brain now.. 😅

(I mean can you blame me?? 🥵)

[smileymoth]

Let me preface that I'm not well spoken on political topics. But what I do find odd is people struggling to boycott food products. Obviously, it isn't as easy as "oh lets boycott all of these" because there are Way Too Many companies that fund Russia/Israel because "ouhch but our business partner 🥺." Your business partner has blood on their hands. Anyway. Not the point rn.

However when it comes to organized boycotts or being aware of brands that support genocide. I fail to understand why it's so difficult for people to just not buy those goods.

From what I'm aware, Milka, Oreo, Ben&Jerrys, Coca Cola group, Macdonalds, Starbucks all support oppressors. My hand does not reach for them at the store. I absolutely love Milka btw but knowing that they fund Russia makes me feel ill. Obvs with big name brands like Nestle and Coca Cola its really difficult because they own like half the products on the market. I bought Fanta the other day forgetting that CC owns it lol. But you get my point, right.

We don't have Starbucks so I can't speak on that but it can't be the only coffee shop nearby if you really need that overprized big drink. Theres 5 million other burger joints you could go to. Milka isn't the only chocolate brand. Coca Cola isn't the only soda brand. Ben&Jerrys is overpriced, get some cheaper ice cream.

What's a bit more tricky imo is big internet/tech companies. Boycotting Google??? Virtually impossible as every goddamn thing is owned by that thing. Youtube, Drive, the search engine (do not tell me about duckduckgo it sucks), everything. Obviously there are alternatives but it's so much more difficult to escape Google than it is to avoid McDonalds.

Adobe??? I'm forced to sell my soul for them because of school and while it is easy to pirate, with fonts it's a big gamble of legalities and in work spaces creative cloud is shared along. It is easy to boycott it but if you have to work in the industry you are. Kind of doomed.

Apple, Samsung, HP. Again, I dont know the details for HP but with Samsung and Apple i think they condemed Russia but continue to sell there. I don't know if other tech companies like Lenovo or... i dont know more... it's just difficult with those. Which is why organized boycotting exists.

But for goods like food and drinks I don't see a reason why it would be so difficult to just... not consume them

My thoughts on boycotting that plaque me daily 👍

[rodolfoparras]

I think it might be dumle, do they have sticks version? Also idk did you ever try Swiss chocolate but hands down it's also one of the best things ever and the fact that I don't have access to Cailler on the regular is a crime. And Kinder and Milka fucking slap but I think that's understood (even though some of their things are sooo pricey).

As for my tooth, considering it fully broke idk how I'll go about fixing it. And since our health system is... what it is, and I hate dentists with burning passion, we'll see what happens. It's just very unfortunate situation.

And I can't help but to join a/b/o conversation because it's one of my favourite tropes ever. I totally get what you mean with your comment on omegaverse and ngl I blame straight people getting into it and writing it because omegaverse is so inherently queer (and I will preach about it until the end of time) and so many newer omegaverse fanfics nowdays just don't have the spirit of what it should be.

And I do love unconditional omegaverse so much 🫶🏻 especially two alphas. And I love when there is extra layer of trans experience by making characters feel uncomfortable with their presentation and they look for ways to change it. Bitching and studding fanfics are so good actually- (aka alpha becoming omega and omega becoming alpha). Straight up, one of my favourite omegaverse fanfics is ship with these two alphas and one of them always hated it and he ends up confessing it to the other one and other one helps him change and then helps him through his first heat <3

(I'm not sending the link tho, I'm not exposing my ships)

-🔮

No sugar they don’t have a stick version but I’m sure whichever you had was a 10/10 bc all of their chocolates are also I haven’t eaten Swiss chocolate before but I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about it!! Swiss chocolate is like the fanciest chocolate out there right?😭 also yes!!! Dear god in heaven I absolutely love kinder and milka they should ban it bc the way I’ll eat anything kinder and milka is criminal 😭

Sugar please make sure that it doesn’t get infected and that it doesn’t spread to the rest of your tooth flesh! I think chipped tooth aren’t the entire world my friend got it fixed for aesthetic reasons but just focus on keeping the place sterilized and be careful when you eat! I know there’s also a toothpaste that works wonders for infections idk which one but my dentist had told me to get it it’s like a purple paste?😭

I def believe straight ppl have a part of it but I also feel like we as a community have become so rigid with things like for example omegaverse isnt a real thing yet ppl will be up in ears telling you how two alphas cant be together this doesn’t just apply to omegaverse but the other day I saw a whole debate on how you aren’t a real top if you like getting head like what the hell is going on😭

Oh now you’ve made me curios 👀 but oh well it shall remain a secret 🫶🏻 however I really need to read more enemies to lovers alpha x alpha bc Jesus Christ 🧎🏻‍♂️

[prof-polaris]

4. Dedenne - What are some of your favourite things? What would a perfect world look like for you?

well my family obviously, and my pokemon. ive been on a chocolate kick recently, so Milka brand chocolates as well.

for me a perfect world. my family and loved ones are all safe and happy. and we dont need to fight anymore, we can just- be.

[sakumasmut]

heyyy ☃️ im the one whos responsible for mama milkshake enthusiast. thank you rei for giving me a platform, that was basically the same as opening a pandora's box.

im relieved im not the only one losing my mind over stuff like this T_T. love how green heart person brought up dumbification because whenever im thinking about lactation or anr as a whole my mind just goes absolutely blank. no thoughts at all just. just use me.

i'll add some fuel to the fire, i used to be really into this kink like a year ago and i gotta tell you i've seen so many cute cow themed outfits and custom made ears&horns&even tails... (btw horns, just realized he could hold your horns when he's fucking you... sksjksksksjs) any colors, strawberry cows and such, purple like milka chocolate cows, you name it they have it... PLS they even make those cute yellow tags for the ears... adorable and sexy.... how about mama getting one for you and lovingly signing it with your name ??!!! he needs to mark his cow!! 😭😭😭😭 and after he's done dressing you up he'd make you sit on his dick and cockwarm him while milking you into the bowl that you're holding. and you're trying not to spill anything bc it's hard to stay still <3 he'll do his best to fill it up to the edge and be sure he's going to call you his good dirty cow <3 i would've said what he's going to do with the milk [no he's not gonna drink it or freeze it] but i feel like that's too perverted even for this blog. let me just leave it to your imagination, everyone here is quite creative im sure you can figure this one out.

of course after he's done with you he's going to rub some soothing cream on your exhausted nipples as a part of aftercare >_<

what can i say... i like this guy maybe a little too much. i feel like he could wear a cute pair of cow ears once in eternity, too, just for fun. maybe he switches inbetween bull mindset and owner mindset, something like that.

also @ green heartie YES write that fic !!! would've written one myself but i got the vocabulary of a 5th grader...

I'm done now. i'll never speak again & no more internet for me for the next 2 weeks. thank you rei again take care. and thank you citizens of reicity too

I’m. actually curious now what he’d do with the breastmilk. is he gonna cook with it?

but god all the things you mention, I can see mama making you do. cockwarming while milking you, dress you up as his cow, hold you by the horns while he fucks your mouth or from behind, and definitely also being the bull instead of the cowboy to rut into you animalistically. it’s all so good.

see you space cowboy 😔 thanks the rambles!

Connor x gn!reader

(Shopping HC's)

---requested---

Going shopping with our favorite Android is... Fun to say the least.

I'll put this post into 3 sections...

-groceries

-clothes

-random

Groceries:

Your first mistake was taking him to the grocery store... Anything you put in the cart, he'll analyse for quality, calories, vitamins etc.

"That package if strawberries is 264 calories, high in vitamin C, and K... Though I don't recommend eating more than a single serving size, as it can often cause stomach aches and diar-"

When you walk past the alcohol isle, his eyes already give his thoughts away.

He can and WILL reprimand you on purchasing alcohol. He'll list every single little risk that comes with it... He'll also question why tf humans like getting drunk.

(Don't even try to explain it. He won't get it)

Walking past the sweets isle is entertaining.

He's in awe at the bright colors, but also at HIW MANY DAMN CALORIES SOME OF THEM HAVE!

"why do humans like 'Milka chocolate'? It's high is fat, sugar AND has approximately 120 per piece!"

Just put your unhealthy snacks in there when he's not looking. Thank me later.

Clothes

Oh boy.

OHHHH BOY

Connor is a great companion to go clothes shopping with! I ain't kidding!

He'll tell you based off skin tone undertones, sized, styles, light, hair color etc. What would look best.

He'd also be your personal guard dog she you go into the dressing booths. Anyone who even walks close will get Connor's blank stare.

Connor also, is a perfectionist. So when you come out with a new outfit, hell correctly adjust it; look at it at different angles; analyse it for... Something?

And he'll come to the conclusion.

"You look phenomenal! Ideally I'd wear that with blue jeans and a nice summer hat"

And if you're trying on bikinis and/or bathing suits...

Connor.exe stopped working.

He'll try his best to remain calm and in his usual professional android mindset...

But God...

If he's allowed to properly adjust the clothing... He won't think twice... He just wants to get his hands on you😏

Extra

Gifts.

Whenever you're out, he'll buy you a little somethin'. Even if it's just flowers, or a card... He loves to see a smile on your cute face. <3

Ad mayyyybe with a little pleading and reassuring that a little bit of sugar is okay... He'll agree to getting an ice cream of slushie with you.

(but he still won't shut tf up about it being unhealthy)

List 5 things that make you happy

Hello, and thank you for the ask!

1. Art. I like to look at art, I like to create art, I like to find art in all kinds of things and I like making all kinds of things art. This is such big part of my life and path. Art is very personal to me. It's the graphics, the illustrations, the paintings, the books and poems, the music, the dancing, the singing, the weaving, the stitching, art is so, so much! And I love every face it can show me, and I love finding more, art is it's own way of chaos.

2. My spiritual, religious and magical path and occult in general. I love learning new, and I love incorporate new in my practice! My path is such beautiful mess, filled with UPG and syncretism, I just love craving it out only for myself.

3. Sutekh and Sha. While my path makes me happy in general, these two have a special place in my heart. They are so deep in my brain, in my soul, in my heart, I love Them, I love learning about Them, I love experiencing Them. I found my place in Them, I found peace in chaos and storms, I found home in deserts and oasis. I can write for pages how wonderful They are and how much love for Them I have, and it wouldn't fully express what I truly feel.

4. Chocolate. I have a joke about myself, that I can be easily bribed with chocolate, especially if it's Rakhat chocolate or Milka. Just love, love the smell, love the taste.

5. Weird things. If there is some fucked up, "unloved" creature, colour and so on, I am pretty sure I am the lover of it. I like weird things, weird animals, weird colours, I am weird myself and I like weird people. I embrace all the strangeness and weirdness, and find art in it.

I didn't include things like family and friends, but they also made me happy. I suspected the ask is about more personal things, which I did listed.

I hope you liked my answer, thank you for reading.))

Intermittent fasting day 13 and 14

Day 13

I finally went back to work. In the morning I did not eat breakfast, I rather made some coffee and my overnight oats and avocado sandwich to take with me to work.

I took my Cypriot treats with me. We have a shelf where we keep snacks and treats. There was a lot of chocolate there (hershey's, milka, etc...). I did not eat any during my fasting window.

I wasn't starving but I did occasionally check the time to see how much more hours and minutes are left until 1. I would get a bit hungry occasionally. But it wasn't unbearable and I was still able to function at work.

I had a work meeting at 1, so I couldn't really sit and eat my oats at that time. I instead took my coffee thermos with me to the meeting room and drank that to break my fast. I also had a tiny bit of chocolate. I had my oats at 2 and sandwich at 4.

I didn't have much lab work to do. I did contact a broker, eye doctor, and spoke with a naturopathic office and booked an appointment with them so I can get a root cause treatment for my eczema and anxiety. I really hope I get the help I need. On top of my intermittent fasting, my eczema and anxiety are areas of my health I want to focus on and improve this year.

I went home and spent my evening filling out my medical paperwork for the naturopathic appointment. At around 6 I had my Greek yogurt snack. I had my supplements and flaxseed oil. I had my period today with no cramps. I am very confident that flaxseed oil played a role in reducing my period pain because it is inflammatory. It helped reduce my eczema's itchy flareups by a lot, but I still have skin lesions which goes to show that flaxseed oil unfortunately isn't enough for my eczema.

I wanted to go for a walk but the weather is terrible. While I want to focus on my IF and on portion control and hunger cues and avoiding a lot of junk and sugar like I already do, I still want to get my brisk walking in for more fat loss capabilities. But like I said the weather was absolutely terrible. Even with my strong immunity I got a headache from the cold weather (it's gone now).

Day 14

I woke up early at around 5:30 and I did not go back to bed because I know I'll wake up at 9 if I did. I woke up and made my coffee, oats and lunch for the day. I then got dressed and walked my dogs and fed them. Then I went to work. I loved having a nice and productive morning, which was very reminiscent to when I used to wake up early in 2004-2006 (yes that was a long time ago) to watch TV or take a bath. I love starting my mornings off like this. I'll see if I can turn it into a habit.

I was a bit hungry in the morning while I was making my food, but not starving. I went to work at 8:40 and was perfectly okay throughout the day in terms of hunger. But again I did catch myself looking at the time and counting down to 1. I was speaking to brokers, and did get nervous and anxious and stressed because some were not answering their calls and I'm worried about not getting the help I need. I also forgot to take a spoon with my to work. So I found a plastic spoon in the kitchen (we usually never have utensils). I had my oats and coffee at 1, but I was stressed unfortunately. Thankfully I received some call backs which I was happy about. I had my lunch sandwich at 4:30.

I had my Greek yogurt snack at 6:30 and had pizza with sauteed mushrooms at 9 (I split it with my mom). So overall a good day (I did have some chocolate at work, but it wasn't a lot at all, just a tine piece). I know I shouldn't be snacking on IF.

It was raining this evening and I am exhausted. So I didn't get the chance to walk. Honestly the best time to walk would probably be as soon as I get home when I walk my dogs. It's worth considering this. Again I want to combine my brisk walking with my fasting, I just need to figure out how to do it. I don't want to do intense workouts because I want my focus now to be on diet and I know I will overeat beyond my calorie burn if I exercise a lot compared to when I do simple brisk walking. Perhaps I can also do some gentle muscle work like yoga and stretching (as opposed to sweaty circuits and HIIT). It will also be great for my calf muscles that I'm trying to slim down.

I don't want to torture myself over the exercise. The fact that I've been IF for 2 weeks now is incredible. I was able to do brisk walking in Cyprus because the weather was better and I had more free time and wasn't as tired as I am now.

I'll update again tomorrow. I'll see if I can walk tomorrow after work.

WEEK 9: Final goodbyes

Dobry den!!

The last blog post- I’ve been dreading this. I really don’t want to leave Prague, it’s been so fun and flew by way too quickly. I’m writing this the day before I leave, and it still doesn’t feel real that I’ll be at the airport tomorrow morning. Quick recap of our last couple days:

On Wednesday, we got our favorite gelato place for the last time: Creme de la creme. It’s soo good and I’ve gotten the same order every time (one scoop of dark chocolate with salted caramel, one scoop of raspberry- the fruit and chocolate combo is unmatched). For the rest of the day, we were packing and studying for our finals, which was very sad and not too fun.

On Thursday, I took my final which was pretty easy. It was so sad walking out of the CEA study center for the last time, but the staff put out some fruit and pastries for us which was nice. They always had tea, coffee, water, and a bowl of cookies set out for us, and my friends and I loved taste testing the cookies after class. One thing I’ll miss from Prague is the Milka cookies- they seriously need to get that brand in America. 

My parents came to Prague on Thursday, and they met my friends and I at Nominanza River Restaurant, which was a super cool casual pizza and drinks spot. It was right on the river and had such a good view of the sunset over the Prague Castle. There were picnic tables and live music, and we enjoyed some cocktails and pizzas. This was definitely one of my favorite nights because it was so great to see my parents after 8 weeks and such a special dinner for my friends’ last night in Prague. 

After dinner, we had a plan to go to six different bars, which was very ambitious, and we only made it to two lol (our favs- Vzorkovna dog bar and Duplex). It was a very fun night and we stayed out till sunrise so we could watch the sunrise over the Charles bridge, which we had been talking about doing since we first got to Prague. This was such a special memory with my friends that I’ll never forget, and the perfect way to close out our time in Prague. My roommates left for the airport a few hours later, and saying goodbye to them was so hard. I woke up Friday morning alone in the empty apartment, which was very very sad. We had to move out by noon, so I brought all my stuff over to my parents’ hotel and showed them around Prague for the rest of the day.

I can’t believe I’m leaving tomorrow- where did the time go?? It feels like just yesterday I got here. I’m so sad to leave my roommates because we became so close but we all live in different states and go to different schools. It feels so weird that we basically spent every day together for the last 8 weeks (and went to 7 different countries together!), and now we might never see them again. Alyse and I told our other roommates that they have to come visit us for a Michigan gameday in the fall, so hopefully we can reunite soon!

Reflecting on my time studying abroad, I know I’ve grown so much as a person and student. I have definitely become more independent, confident, worldly, and open-minded. It’s so interesting to see how people from another culture live, and traveling to different countries around Europe is so eye-opening. This experience was so unique, and it has made me want to continue traveling in the future. I grew up traveling a lot with my family, but this was very different. I loved being able to travel with my friends and be more independent as we figured out our own transportation, accommodation, and itineraries. If you are thinking about studying abroad, 100% do it. This was a once in a lifetime experience and probably the best summer I’ve ever had. I met so many amazing people, had so many memorable experiences, and have so many new perspectives of the world. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and I will forever remember my summer in Prague. 

Overall Prague favorites:

Cafe: La Forme

Coffee: Iced salted caramel coconut milk latte from Rose Latte

Restaurant: Pasta Fresca or Manifesto market

Sight: Prague Castle and Wallenstein Palace gardens

Food: Fruit dumplings 

Acivity: paddle boats on the river

Neighborhood: Vinohrady forever <3

Park: Grebovka

Beer Garden: Letna or Riegrovy Sady

Bar: Vzorkovna

Gelato: Creme de la creme

Thank you so much for tuning in for my adventures abroad this summer!! I hope you enjoyed and felt like you were traveling along with me! I had so much fun writing this blog and am so glad I now have a virtual travel journal I can look back on. 

Dekuji!!

[britishsass]

Got any headcanons about the campers/counsellors having a marshmallow/smore roast?

Oh, heck yeah, I can scrounge up a few!

Milla dislikes being near the fire, so she watches over everyone from a bit of a distance.

Sasha stays by her side.

Morry likes to tell scary stories by the fire.

Raz isn't actually familiar with marshmallows... and he'd eat 'em raw. (Me too.) This makes some of the others Very confused.

Lili is the best at scary stories, but burns every marshmallow.

Benny and Bobby try to take other people's marshmallows. Ford, Lili, and Misha are known for getting quiet revenge on them.

Chloe does not like the campfire. She does appreciate smores though.

Chops, Quentin, Phoebe, and JT have a few campfire songs they try to do.

Elka, Franke, and Kitty just like the chocolate, not the sticky marshmallows.

Nils has a habit of offering his chocolate to Elka for a kiss.

Milka and Elton are easily scared by scary stories, so they're usually holding hands in the background and just talking with telepathy.

Clem and Crystal are easily scared by the stories too, but they do support the people who tell them! They also love the marshmallows.

Vernon thinks he rocks at storytelling. He is given lots of graham crackers because they're the part the other kids want least. (I'd make a joke about them being dry, but... no, I actually really like graham crackers.)

Father & Daughter Autumn Walk

Bubbly put on her lavender colored coat and her baby pink gloves. She was ready to go out on a walk in the fresh Autumn air.

"Ready to go?" Vespa asked her as he putting the glove on his right hand.

"Almost!" Bubbly put on her new boots that he'd bought for her a few weeks ago,

"Ok! All ready!" She smiled at Vespa and the two went out into the cool night air.

Vespa grabbed Bubbly's hand and the two started to walk through the forest.

The forest wasn't a safe place, especially at night. Many drunks were out here at night, and lots of violent people.

Vespa never let Bubbly go out in the night without him. Last night was Halloween so that was an exception. But still he didn't like doing it. But at least on Halloween she had the other kids with her.

"Dad?" Bubbly looked at Vespa with a slightly worried expression on her face.

"Yes?" Vespa looked at her with a bit of confusion.

Bubbly sighed and looked infront of her."It's kinda scary out here when it's late..."

"Yes it is. But you don't have to worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

She gripped on his hand tighter. Then smiled at him "Can we get some hot chocolate and some cookie mix when we go to the store?"

Vespa had forgotten why they were going out till now "Maybe, We'll have to see."

"At the very least we can get some hot chocolate." He winked at her

And Bubbly's face lit up with joy.

They finally reached the end of the forest and they reached the town.

Vespa kneeled down on one knee and looked Bubbly in the eyes.

"Go to the bakery and ask for 2 blueberry muffins." Vespa took 20 bucks from his bag and put it in Bubbly's hand.

"And what do you do if someone tries to take you?"

"Yell fire and start kicking, punching,and biting." Bubbly gave Vespa a mischievous smile

"Exactly." He ruffled her hair after he stood back up.

"Be back here in 15." Vespa looked down at her.

"Okie dokie." Bubbly then joyfully twirled off to the bakery.

"Well well well, if it isn't Vespa Hawkins." Jasper grinned at Vespa as he fixed the umbrella on his stand.Jasper is a peacock butterfly, with very very vibrant wings.

"What brings you to my little old stand, handsome?"

Vespa pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers. "I just need hot chocolate mix, please Jasper. For the love of the Devine."

"Okay,Okay." Jasper pulled a container of hot chocolate mix out of a drawer.

"How much will that be?" Vespa said while looking in his bag.

"Free."

Vespa stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jasper with a raised eyebrow "Pardon?"

"I said it free....well kinda." Jasper's wings gave a flutter

Vespa didn't say anything and kept staring at Jasper confused

"Free as in you don't have to pay money for it."

"Ok....What do you want instead?" Vespa zipped his bag closed and let it rest on his hip.

"Well" Jasper paused "Let me take you out for a nice dinner tomorrow night and you can have the hot chocolate mix."

Vespa considered just taking the hot chocolate mix and leaving but that would make him a bad influence for Bubbly. Vespa cleared his throat then said: "Ok. Fine. ONE dinner."

Jasper had a big smile his face now. "It's a date!" Vespa took the hot chocolate mix and went back to the forest opening.

Bubbly looked up at Vespa. "I thought you said 15 minutes" She teased.

"Getting you're hot chocolate mix was much harder than expected. So you better enjoy it." Vespa grabbed her free hand and the two walked back home together to have a nice nightime snack.

Thanks for the tag :>

Three ships:

Ooooh hm, I love when I think about this my brain immediately forgets everything 💀

Ochre/Magenta- Ever since I got into Captain Scarlet these two fruit bags have been in my brain. Maybe it's the whole cop/criminal thing or maybe it's cause they deserve a good time. Who knows.

Jeffrano- Old men✅ LGBT✅ sign me up. I love them, just two old fellas, who find love after being widowed. What I also like about this one is the fact it's brought Kyrano to the front of my brain, I tended to forget about him but now he's more of a focus.

Wilbur/Eleanor- A canon ship???? On my list??? Who'd have thunk (I would have put rhapsody/melody on here (cause I need more girl talk) but frankly I do think about these two more 💀) I just love these two so goddamn much, Eleanor is my favourite character in the whole show and I can't not love her without loving Wilbur as well! They r so sweet with each other and we should have seen em interact more.

First ship:

Okay damn this has got me thinking, it has been so goddamn long, I want to say NaruSasu, tho it could have easily been a Yu-Gi-Oh ship, could have been Marik/Bakura. Don't quote me but do bully my younger self ✌️😃

Last song I listened to:

Dragula by Rob Zombie, I was listening to it on the way home.

Last movie I watched:

I cannot actually remember cause I genuinely don't watch many movies, I actually don't remember. I only rlly watch TV shows and I just repeat the same 3 ones. Tho I did watch half of finding dory on tiktok a few days back so maybe that??

Currently reading:

I'm not really a reader so nothing.

Currently Watching:

A mix of various Anderson shows.

Currently consuming:

Nothing rn, but I did have a Milka chocolate bar like 20 mins ago.

Currently craving:

Some savoury food 😭

As per I won't be tagging people but if u wanna do it go ahead ✌️😃

Tag Game!

Thanks to @x-authorship-x for the tag!

Three ships: Not really much of a romantic shipper but there's a few hanging around in my brain.

Will Solace/Nico di Angelo (Riordanverse)

Ana Dakkar/Gemini Twain (Daughter of the Deep) - disclaimer I equally eye this one as platonic these two are just my new obsession in all aspects of their relationship

Emilou Apacci/Yylfordt Granz (Bleach)

First ship: Well that was a while ago, but it was Sasuke Uchiha/Sakura Haruno (Naruto)

Last song I listened to: Dream On (cover version by Voiceplay ft. Omar Cardona)

Last movie I watched: I actually don't remember. When did I even watch a movie last? It's been a long time, whoops.

Currently reading: Just finished Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan if we're talking new stuff, but also re-reading the Traces series by Malcom Rose for the first time in about fifteen years - finished Lost Bullet yesterday and am about to pick up Role Call.

Currently watching: My brain is too consumed by worldbuilding for fics you think I have time to watch things?

Currently consuming: Nothing right now but I'm eyeing my as-yet uneaten Easter eggs (yes, I know, but also dairy is not my friend so I can only eat a little of them at a time without Consequences)

Currently craving: Said aforementioned Easter eggs on my shelf.
