#make legit money with ease

[treason-and-plot]

“Can we say we’ve joined the three mile high club because we’ve done it three times?” says Anya.

“Sounds legit,” says Roy. They are lying naked on bed watching a movie, and Anya isn’t worried anymore about Yvonne stepping through the curtain and catching them. Not because she’s an exhibitionist (although she often suspects Roy of having those tendencies) but because she is totally at ease, as comfortable as if they were in their own bedroom. The movie isn’t making a lot of sense, but that could be because she isn’t paying it too much attention, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of what their hotel is going to be like and how incredible the concert is going to be and the excitement she's going to experience seeing all the latest Paris fashions, oh my God the fashions, and the SHOPPING….  

"Are you following this?" says Roy. She shakes her head and smiles.

"Do you want to find something else to watch?" she asks.

"Actually, I think I'd rather talk," he says. His expression is sombre. Anya tries to hide her surprise, which she feels must be as naked as her boobs.

"I want you to know that I'm still really pissed off with myself for nearly ruining our holiday, " he says. "I behaved like a complete twat in the VIP lounge and you were right to lose your shit. And you also made me think about why I love spoiling you and spending money on you. I realised there's a pattern there with all my relationships. Spending money on my partners nearly always led to positive outcomes. Not to mention amazing sex. So I think I learned to equate it with love and affection and mind blowing titty fucks. Does that make sense? Or do I just sound like a complete wanker?"

"I think what you're saying explains a lot," says Anya. "And I'm so happy we're having this conversation. Communication is the key to everything, right? It's a cliché but it's true!"

"No problem. I love talking about myself, so it's win-win," winks Roy. Then his expressions becomes serious again. "Anyway, I'm going to make a better effort to put you first on this holiday, okay? Not just on this holiday, either. In our whole relationship. Because you deserve it. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I want you to be reminded of that every second of every day. And you have my permission to smack me round the head if I forget. Deal?"

"Deal," says Anya, reaching for his hand and squeezing. "I love you, Roy."

"I love you too, baby," he says.

Okay I wont get to work on this any longer tonight so imma just post this

So this morning I have realised some stuff about my Macaque home hc

So first of all you can see the human disguised Macaque with Bai He,

and so Bai He wasnt there or "planed into the house" three days ago, but I decided that, that just wont do, I want her with Macaque, so im going to have to go back and alter my original ideas so it would fit the concept of Bai He also living there with Macaque (I have quit a lot of ideas for that, but ill get to them when I have the time)

But its not the main reason I wanted to talk about this even with half finished ideas under constructuion in my head

The big thing you already saw the random old lady and the antic Store/shop, so its no suprise im going to talk about that a for a bit,,, not a lot tho cuz I dont really got the energy for this

Soo--- She does not have a name, but Ill work on that, shes not fully thougt out, but nothing really when it comes to my ideas and headcanons (its kinda like eating halfbaked dough)

so shes 73 years old divorced lady running a little antic shop in the outer cirkles of Megapolis. I was thinking maybe it was her who originally selled the whole building to Macaque and rented the free space under the dojo.

She has a daughter and a grandkid (didn't decide on gender yet)

Shes kinda inspired by @/ladygreenfrisbee's oc in the fanfiction sunbreak, a snarky but sweet old lady whos not taking any shit from the brooding, shadow the hedgehog wannabe.

When she was younger she worked in a Museum in Megapolis, working with antient historical artifacts and megical weapons, but she pretty much knew everything about anything in there, with history and old stories being one of her passions,

Thus after she retired she decided to open and antic store. Even tho its an antic store, she can be one of those people that you bring an old piece of furniture or object in and they can tell you if its legit or not. She is also willing to trade and buy stuff from you if its to her likings. She's fair and not a con artist, she has just enough money for herself and thats completely fine by her, shes a simple woman when it comes to living.

She has a ton of degrees, Dr. And Phd tytels and what nots, extreamly smart and knows a lot about history and mytology and different eras of the past, making it easier for her and Macaque to connect over old stuff.

Also I was thinking, even tho she couldnt tell that Macaque was the Six Eared Macaque himself, she knew that they were wearing glamours, She studied artifects and worked with demons who were experts on the field of magics and glamours, she knows her shit

And even tho She had a decent relationshipp with Macaque I dont think Macaque would willingly let her see his true form, maybe after he was very exhausted, and injured after a fight they couldnt hold it up and were like-- fuck it who cares (maybe it was after the final fight with LBD) and she obviously knew who they were imidietly seeing his Six ears (that even tho he let her see one time hé continued to glamour like he would usually, only letting go of their human disguise)

So after that she would start asking him a whole lot of questions about the past and what was it like, carefully avoiding the questions involving the great sage equal to heaven, cuz she knew what happend from jttw

But yeah Macaque found it funny how a child and an old lady are looking at him with similar shimmer to their eyes as they interrogate him on the past

She loves a good tea and has her own little blends that calm the nerves and ease muscle pain and stuff like that. After She and Macaque became more friendly with eachother she gifted them some tea that helps him fall asleep better and relax. Macaque checked them for poison twice and couldnt find anything, but still wasnt willing to drink from them until he had a very fucked up breakdown yippeee ✌️

After Macaque lived there for some years they somewhat warmed up to eachother, they would hold little tea paties and talk about stuff (annoying husbands and divorce) after Bai He started living with Macaque these tea parties increased in numbers, sometimes the ladys grandchild joining in when Grandma was watching over them, maybe they get along well with Bai He, maybe they had a rocky begining to their friendshipp, but they warmed up to eachother and now are pretty good friends (maybe, ill think about it more)

BUT!!! this was it for now its already 2:40 am and im waking up at 6:40 so even tho I have more to say ill be going now

Bye thank you for reading ✌️☺️

[withonelook]

So now I'm back in France, back to work, after a week-end (well, four days) spent in Como and Milan heading to The Reunion Concert premiering in Europe, and I need to talk about it more.

I've been a music fan for ever, I love to sing and I take singing lessons and musical theatre is a huge part of my life now (even though you could say it's quite "recent", in a way, at least the deep passion and connection that makes me want to listen to MT all day long every day and see 152 shows). I live in France, and even if we have a small community that enjoys musical theatre, it's not that easy to see your favorite performers. Unless of course you want to focus all your money on going to London, or, in that case, Milan.

That's what I did and I have no regret what so ever. Last november, I went to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Palladium (Ramin & Hadley) and last monday, I was in Milan to see the Reunion, because I love this artists very much, the way they do and love music, musical, the way they share their love and talents on stage, the way you can jump in a huge theatre and find yourself laughing at jokes just the way you would do with a friend in a random coffee place or restaurant, the way you end up harmonising on a song or cheering to another. The emotions they give you by showing up and singing with their hearts, is something I'm immensely grateful for.

I must confess, of all of them, Hadley really is my favorite if I had to chose one. He's immensely talented, his voice is perfect and never underwhelming, his acting so powerful and emotional. A perfect technique serving an incredible interpretation on every song he ever sings. His voice can be soothing and then make you feel angry or powerless depending on the materiel he's defending. I discovered him in POTO 25th but honestly, every thing he does, I just love, including his album and original music. Add to that a very nice british humour and an ease to sit before an instrument, be it the guitar or the piano, and it's honestly all I wish I could hear.

That being said, Ramin is also an amazing performer and human being. Of course, Samantha is as perfect of a performer that you'd expect her to be, easing into a powerful belt and well fitted for both Elsa and Eponine. Also, their friendships are just a pleasure to witness, and the fact that they would so kindly let you in for a three hours show is just incredibly humbling and nice.

A moved and passionnate word for Holly, who I had the luck to see as Christine twice and OMG, and attended one of her mastercalsses once, she's an amazing human being and honestly took the songs as a great performer with an angelic but strong and deep high voice. She's very nice to listen too and never fails to deliver.

Earl was immensely funny, accepting to play the role of a guy who's left out but giving impressive and scary looks on Stars and finding his way into A bit of Earth (he was apparently Archibald in the Scottish Premiere of the show Secret Garden !).

And to finish on the performers, I have another confession to make -- I didn't know much about Natalie apart from her singing Heart of Stone from Six the Musical (love the song, never saw the musical cause I'm more into old and legit oups). On stage, she was amazing. Powerful, emotionnal, very cute and humble, looking radiant and happy, and her voice, omg, what a power house. She killed it singing Never Enough. I'll definitely try to see more of her in the future.

Regarding the songs, they were all very well chosen, of course, but here are a few comments that come to my mind :

Ramin & Holly duetted on "Never Love you Again" (Post Malone) and it was great!! loved every second of it

A Bit of Earth is one of my fav song ever (Hadley WAS Archibald Craven

Happy sad by Hadley and Ramin, omg??? the FEELS ?

We got the right to sing Just let go with Hadley, harmonising with him just like we did in FTRR and it's so nice

Never Enough sang by Natalie

Holly and Sam renditing of What is this feeling was SO GOOD and fun??? and Earl, Hadley and Natalie came along to do the backing vocals and it was SO FUNNY

Hadley played the piano for Holly to sing Another life from Bridges of Madison County

They skipped Feed the birds tho :(

Holly singing Love never dies

Last word of love for the Director and musicians, they were amazing.

Wish I could see it all again, honestly. Wish they would record it, and record an album of it for us to listen to and go back to. Maybe they'll go to London at some point, cause honestly, the entire world needs to witness those talented, humble and beautiful people. They filled my heart with joy and love for MT.

Ahoy other nonnie! o7

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

mmmmmn I'll do three for. Reasons. :)

obikin: Obi-Wan is the truly unhinged one in the relationship. Sorry. He puts up a good front but I thoroughly believe that man would, if the circumstances aligned, out-unhinge Anakin in every conceivable metric, and he'd somehow make it all appear reasonable. Totally what he had to do at that moment. There was no better choice available.

jonelias: if "soulmates" existed in TMA, Elias would have had zero compunction about killing his soulmate if necessary. (Though he'd simply avoid or politely reject them if it weren't.) And if they kept being reincarnated? He'd still maintain the same stance. Not interested. Not useful to him. But Jon, Jon is the one he chooses, and that's far more meaningful to him than something as insignificant as a soulmate. (and if Jon also has a soulmate, well... he'll deal with that in whatever way he must.) (And I don't mean he'd automatically kill them!) (Unless he personally finds them unworthy) (then all bets are off)

hartwin: Eggsy is the sane, practical one. Harry has gone too long being the wild card, being too good, too lucky, too independent. Harry overly relies on money, on technology, on social cachet to ease his way through what little of every day life he must go through in between Kingsman and missions for Kingsman. That isn't to say Harry is incapable of being a competent adult, it's that he hasn't needed to for decades, and he's redirected his energy to the spy life. He can charm anyone... but he's rusty at actually having relationships. At building a life with someone. At having someone else in his space. In having anything even remotely resembling a work/life balance. Eggsy might think Harry is someone to emulate and learn from, but to Harry, Eggsy legit is the better half of their relationship.

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

I don't think Obi-Wan Kenobi is a slut. 🤷 I think it's way more likely that he's a virgin. (Though I can and will write him either way, and with many other varying levels of experience/enthusiasm/interest in sex, because fanfic is fun like that. :D)

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

uh damn that's hard??? There's a lot of valid answers that could go here. So. Um. I'm going to cheat :D I'd love a GFFA fanfic that is mostly focused around what happened when Anakin became a Force Ghost, and his reunion with Obi-Wan. And it could take place across different timelines and flashbacks or w/e (that's what I've been thinking for a fic) but the main emphasis is their new situation, a fourth (master/padawan, generals, enemies) iteration of their ever-shifting dynamic, and one that I really never see explored. And I'd love to see @darthwillies tackle it and make me cry. my second dream plot is that I'd love to see @underacalicosky tackle an obikin werewolf or witch AU! thinking modern day, Anakin having been raised alone, either unaware that he wasn't the only one or knowing that there were more [werewolves/witches] out there but finding that they were unwilling to even go near him or would attack him unprovoked when he approached. So he's twitchy, wary, a total asshole at the slightest thing that sets him off, but oh does he want to learn. And of course he's ridiculously powerful/a prodigy and how did he even survive this long by himself, where did he even come from, and Obi-Wan knows everyone is asking themselves this, maybe he volunteers to teach Anakin what he needs to know, maybe he's ordered. But none of that matters if he can't get Anakin to trust him first.

Ghost x undercover!reader (HC) Part III

warnings: violence, blood, mistakes, badly written British speech, smooth Ghost

P.S. I loved Frenchie from The Boys and I just couldn’t help myself. Apologies 😊

Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI

- the third time you meet is in the small briefing room, you sit next to one another, in silence, eyes forward waiting for your MI6 handler begin his presentation

- the plan is similar but this time you’ll have a gun on you, that thought brings a little more than a smidge of comfort; when you make contact with the supplier and confirm that the merchandise is legit you give the sign: three nods, as natural as possible; at that alpha team and bravo team will breach

- you stand up for everyone to see what you’re wearing, cream coloured jacket and light blue jeans, you picked it yourself and you explain that you’ll be more visible to them among the black clothed guards

- when contact is made your job is to get out of dodge, because everyone expects a fight and you aren’t dressed in protective gear to survive being caught in the middle; you’ll make yourself scarce thus not even giving the impression of association with the black ops teams; just a coward that runs away at the first signs of a fight desperately trying to save their skin; this will save the work you’ve done in creating this fake persona for later use

- the hours before the mission gives you a déja-vu feeling: you read, he listens to rock music; you raise your head from the notebook and motion for him to take of the headphones; he obliges

- ‘Why rock?’ you seek the useless information, not from curiosity but a weird need of talking to him

- ‘Pumps me up…’ that’s what you expected of him, you know heavy metal is used in boot camp training to simulate the chaos of battle, when hearing is no longer a dependable sense and one must rely on his vision, gut feelings and training; it’s something he’s familiar with you conclude

- you ask permission to listen for a bit and he allows it, handing you the headphones; you place them on your head and listen to the disharmonic sounds emanated straight into your eardrums; you close your eyes and bob your head to the rhythm getting lost in the screams of the vocalist

- a hand firm on your bicep startles you; Ghost is tilting his head towards the door; you turn and see a general; in a swift move you are up, headphones thrown on the couch where you just sat; you don’t salute as you are not part of the army but you are straight as a plank in utmost respect to the new comer

- the general to you about your achievements so far and that keeping up with the work we’ll get you very far very quickly in the hierarchical structure; you reply that you like your work and wouldn’t give it up for a boring desk job; he chuckles and with a ‘Have it your way, agent’ he turns and leaves you two to your pre-mission coping mechanisms         

- Ghost smirks even more ‘A woman of action this one’ he comments, you turn eyes glinting in mischief, smirk unknowingly mirroring his ‘Bloody right’ your answer is met with a small chuckle

- ‘Would murder for a cuppa…’ you utter with a sigh

- ‘Understood’ he disappears out the door without missing a bit and you are left smiling to yourself like little schoolgirl

- in the car, you go over the plan one more time, you check the gun and the two magazine Ghost gives you; the Glock feels comfortable in your hand but its weight does little to ease your mind; you’ll be alone, surrounded by tangos, and now there is a new variable: the supplier and his men; they might open fire at the slightest misinterpretation of words, or worse, they might try to cross you over an try to kill your party and get away with the money

- everything is accounted for as much as not knowing the rendezvous location allows

- he makes sure to reassure you insisting on his position in relation to yours, in your made-up chess board scenario ‘I’ll look for yer’ you nod

- everything you’ve been through repeats like clockwork, this time the drive is longer; your gun is taken from you, and you feel your legs numbing from disuse where you sit on the hard van floor

- at your destination you get shoved around and put in the back seat of a limo; in front of you the buyer; you ask for your gun, motivating you won’t go win ‘without proppa protection this time ‘round’; he promises to give it to you when you get there

- he asks about you and your motivations behind switching sides; you tell him the fabricated story, how you got fucked twice, once by your commander and once by the government, when they threw you out without any means of survival while your commander got a pat on the shoulder and a laugh at another ‘young score’

- he understands a tells you a little bit by his motivations; you’ve heard this kind of talk and your sick of it, but you empathize with his hate for the British Government; he discloses to you that soon he’ll hit them hard, and all thanks to you, like being in league with him is something to be proud of; human filth

- after a short ride you get there, wherever that is, you don’t care; it’s just another job; your handgun is returned to you ‘a sign of good faith’ and you check that not even a single bullet is missing not as inclined to trust

- you are led to another warehouse this one filled with crates and random things strewn around; you are met with a gang of thugs, definitely not trained to properly hold a gun, or fight for that matter; you regard them with the superiority of an expert in guns and explosives, which is not an idle affirmation; you do in fact know what you’re doing not just faking it; the only thing that’s fake is the story behind it, the skill is there

- the supplier introduces himself as ‘Frenchie’ his French accent quite obvious; you request to se the merchandise; he comments to his thugs about the lack of manners in the British Isle; you stare him down unphased; he laughs;

- the buyer backs you up, voice demanding, reasoning along the lines of ‘pressing matter’ and ‘time sensitive issues’; Frenchie takes you to the back where crates full of C4 and more professional equipment, far superior than what you had to work with; everyone awaits your verdict in silence; you approach the crates to take a better look, and scrutinizing everything, though there is no need

- this is the real deal, military grade equipment, syphoned from somewhere where command is lax or corrupt; everything is brand new, though there is no flag, no insignia to indicate their origin

- you prepare yourself for the incoming breach; the signal this time a loud whistle of appreciation followed by a ‘got some hell of a gear ‘ere, huh?!’; Frenchie does not get the chance to brag about it as windows shutter, tear gas canisters fizzle, doors burst, shouts are heard, bullets start flying

- you duck and move to the side away from the crowd of thugs that try to return fire in vain as they fall like flies in a cacophony of screams and shouts of pain and terror

- you find the nearest door and burst out coughing having inhaled the bloody tear gas yourself; devilish contraptions you hated with a passion from your days in the academy when you first had tasted it; but as you struggle to regain your breath and get as far away without seeing where you are going a shadow follows close to you

- as your breath settles to a more manageable pace you hear a gun click and you slowly raise your hands in surrender; you turn around slowly as per the buyer’s demands; he clicks his tongue and wonders what a coincidence that black ops bust the deal right after you confirm the merchandise to be legitimate; you don’t deny it and he takes a step closer putting the gun to your head; but he takes to long to shoot you feeling more preoccupied with the villain discourse

- a gun shot is heard and he drops dead; wide eyed you watch as Ghost struts to you rifle shouldered in a professional manner and his figure the epitome of a perfect stance; he gives you a look over checking for any stray bullets you might have caught in your hasty exit

- and with a nonchalance at corpse that paints red the asphalt at your feet he calls in the kill over the radio

- the rest is a flash, you get checked by a combat medic for any signs of wounds, he dismisses you when he finds none, and your escorted away from the scene and to a black SUV to take you away to HQ now that your job on the field is done

- Ghost finds you again right as you climb in the back; he holds the door with one hand and the other is casually placed on the hood right above your head as he leans his tall frame to talk to you; but you beat him to it and a quick and sincere ‘Thank you’ escapes your lips

- ‘We even then, love’ he says quickly slamming the door shut; the first thing that catches your attention is the pet-name he used that makes the tip of your ears feel hot; and then his words hit you; you’re confused and a ‘What did ‘e mean by that’ escapes your mouth without volition

- ‘Huh’ the driver turns to you ‘You ok ma’am?’ he asks in mild concern; you didn’t even notice him, a young pale blond blue-eyed private regards you in confusion; your meagre answer comes in the form of ‘Yeah…, peachy. Just drive.’ A far away look takes over your face ‘Yes. Ma’am’

- you smile in thought; you’ll have to seek him out to ask for clarification; smooth bastard.

All Might Fanfic

ALL MIGHT X READER

Summary- You had met Toshinori Yagi (all might) at a small coffee shop and since then he had been meeting you there every morning. He ends up having catching feeling for you but he is to shy and beyond nervous to tell you. He does eventually tell you though.

Content- confessing feelings, All Might (Toshinori Yagi) X reader, romance, Sfw.

Note- This was an idea that popped into my head while watching the show. I heard it has been done but I legit could not find any stories on this so idk. If you guys have the link please send it my way id love to read it!.

I REALLY LIKE YOU

It had been a pretty tough week for you since your business had been getting packed with customers and everyday now and it was really exhausting on you. One morning you got up from bed, brushed your teeth, washed your face, your usual routine before heading out to open up the store you run for the day. It was about 6 in the morning when you decided to stop by this small coffee shop so you could get yourself a coffee before going to work. You got in line behind this man who stood in front of you wearing a white T-shirt, baggy pants, yellow hair that was a bit crazy, pretty thin too. You didn't pay to much attention to him, all you wanted was to just get your coffee and head out but something about him seemed rather familiar to you, like you've seen him before but you couldn't quite put your finger on it.

When the line moved up and the man started to order you had recognized his voice as well. After a few seconds it had finally clicked. No way this was All Might himself standing in front of you, there is no way right? you thought to yourself.

"Excuse me"

You said slightly interrupting him from putting his order in. He quickly paused, looking at you with his sunk in eyes that went a bit wide and were a pretty blue color. He smiled a bit not being even the slightest bit annoyed that you had interrupted him.

"Yes?"

He said keeping eye contact with you.

"Sorry for interrupting I was just wondering are you... all might by any chance? you seem really familiar, sorry if I am mistaken I just feel like I've seen you before."

You stated nervously, putting your hand on the back of your neck. He smiled again, slowly nodding his head, confirming you were in fact right about that statement.

"please no need to apologize, and yes, that's me"

He replied with a slight chuckle, His smile seemed so gentle and genuine. You thought it was kinda cute how he was acting and chuckled yourself.

"oh good it's quite nice to meet you, if you don't mind could I buy your coffee for you?"

This caught him a bit by surprise as you offered to buy the coffee for him. He couldn't deny that to him you seemed so kind hearted, and just so sweet. He found you absolutely adorable but, he didn't want you to buy his coffee for him.

"ah well um.."

"please, I insist"

You said with a smile. You could tell he didn't want you to spend your hard earned money on him but you wanted to especially after all he has done to keep everyone safe.

"haha alright alright, I'll accept your offer"

Once he accepted you turned to the cashier with a cute smile painted on your face.

"His coffee and a hazelnut iced coffee please"

Once they put the order in the worker told you the total and you paid. You stepped aside with All Might waiting for the coffees to be made. He couldn't but feel a bit touched by your gesture towards him.

"Thank you for this.. really"

He said making you look at him.

"It's no problem really"

"well it was very kind of you to do that for me"

He said. It was clear that the fact you were this nice to him and weren't acting like some crazy fangirl like everyone else would've made him feel appreciative and quite happy. He didn't quite know how to respond to it, but this feeling was so foreign to him, especially in his current position, that it was actually comforting him in some way. The way you were acting made him feel at ease, not worrying about his weaknesses or frailty anymore. You didn't quite know how to respond either for a moment before letting out a slight chuckle.

"Well I try to be as friendly as possible haha.."

Toshinori chuckles a bit feeling his heart flutter a bit at your cute smile while enjoying the time he is spending with you right now before he has to leave to the school.

"haha yes I can see that... you're a very kind person"

He says genuinely meaning it. The coffees are soon ready and set on the counter. You grab yours while Toshinori grabs his. You give him a nice smile as you hold your coffee in your hands.

"Well i should get going now, enjoy your coffee All Might"

You wave at him goodbye before taking your leave out the door of the shop and walking to work.

"Bye"

He mutters softly, watching you leave the coffee shop thinking about the interaction he just had with you. He couldn't help but feel a little more confident in himself, feeling happy but still nervous at the same time while taking a sip of his coffee. As the day carried on you were quite busy at work with costumers, feeling ready to close up and head home to have dinner and rest up in bed. The day was quite hectic as it usually was but you were pretty used to it by now since you had been working in the store for about 3 years now.

Meanwhile Toshinori couldn't stop thinking about you. You were just such an amazing person and just the cutest he has ever seen and your personality was just one of an angel. He wanted to see you again and be able to talk more, get to know you better. The thoughts of you playing in his mind none stop, he just really liked you, a lot too.

As the weeks passed by, he would stop by the coffee shop, hoping to see you again, which you always did show up at the same time everyday. It made happy being able to have a cup of coffee while chatting with you, being able to spend his mornings with you. The weeks soon turned into months of getting to know one another, having laughs, and enjoying each others time together. Toshinori started to develop deeper feelings for you, feeling more and more secure around you with every passing day. But he was shy, and absolutely nervous, unsure of how to go about this. He really wanted to show you his emotions he felt towards you and just admit how much he really liked you... but he didn't know how. He also felt worried about the possibility that you won't feel the same way and didn't wanna make things awkward between the two of you.

When Monday arrived you showed up wearing a turtle neck shirt, nice pants, nice jacket, with your hair up. When you see Toshinori you smiled. You walked up happy to see him again. He always made your mornings better even when you were unbearably exhausted.

"Hey Toshinori! how is your morning so far?"

You said as you approached him. He was sitting at his usual table sipping his coffee when he looked up and seen you, a smile forming on his face. You looked so nice today, he thought to himself.

"Hey Y/N.. my morning is definitely a lot better now that you've shown up"

He said while his cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. You sat down across from him, you didn't order a coffee yet, you just sat down with him instead of ordering.

"I am glad to hear that. I hope the days haven't been too harsh on you."

He chuckled softly at your words. He really enjoyed having you here and talking with him. He was happy to see you today, feeling a bit better about himself.

"Thank you, and things have been pretty rough for me but, I am managing"

"oh. I'm sorry to hear that. At least you are managing through it though. What's been going on Toshinori?"

You asked feeling a bit concerned for him. You were hoping it wasn't anything to serious that is happening to him. He paused for a minute contemplating if he should tell you. You had shown him so much kindness, but he didn't wanna burden you with his problems.

"I... don't like talking about it much"

He responded while looking down at his coffee. You nod respecting his wishes to not talk about it.

"That's okay. Lets just enjoy the morning, alright?. Here let me go get myself a cup of coffee and we can talk about something else"

You said before getting up and walking over to the register and putting in your usual order. He nodded with a slight smile, feeling happy that you were willing to change the topic. He watched as you placed your order. He just found you so damn adorable. Once it was ready you grabbed your coffee and joined Toshinori at the table again.

"Hey can I ask you something?"

You look at him as he says that feeling a little nervous about what it is he wanted to ask you. You nod giving him the okay to ask you"

"sure.. what did you wanna ask me?"

You responded while looking at his blue eyes. He hesitates for a moment, feeling nervous about what he was about to say to you since it was personal. He pushed himself to go through with it, since he had built up some confidence over these past few days.

"Um... would it be alright if I admit something to you?"

You were more curious now about what he wanted to admit. This was new to you, and you were feeling nervous about what he wanted to say.

"Yeah of course Toshinori"

He took a deep breath, his heart now racing inside his chest. He had been thinking about doing this for awhile now, but now seemed like a good time to tell you. He looked straight at you with a calm expression hoping this would be the right decision to make.

"I've grown very fond of you. Over these last few months, I've come to really like you, I just... I developed feelings for you,... these feelings developed a long time ago, but it's something I have felt for a long time now. I didn't want to admit it due to the circumstances and the fact that this is kind of awkward to confess"

Toshinori said as he looked down at his coffee. You were a bit stunned to hear him admit that to you.

"So... do you want to like... date me?"

You asked wanting to make sure you had heard him correctly. He nodded his head, his eyes still on his cup, a faint blush painting his cheeks a bit from the fact he had made it so obvious what he was trying to say.

"Y-yeah... that's it, and I know this is random, it's just that I've felt this for quite some time now. I don't want to push you, or scare you away, but this is something I felt i needed to say"

You couldn't help but actually blush at his words. You were surprised by his confession but you also couldn't tell him no since you felt the same way about him but you also didn't have the courage to tell him either and you were so happy that he admitted it first.

"Why didn't you say so sooner Toshinori? hahaha"

You laughed a bit.

"Say how about we go to the movies this weekend, as a date?"

As you said that his face lit up a bit, shocked by your response. He was more than sure you would reject him but, you didn't. Toshinori felt more than happy that you had felt the same way about him, feeling like a million buck right now.

"R-Really, you want to go out with me?"

He said just to make sure you were being serious. You smiled at him, feeling excited to go out with him. He was just so adorable, just so cute to you.

"Yes I'm serious. I'll be more than happy to go out with you."

He couldn't help but smile at your response. You actually seemed so ecstatic, and seeing you be so excited and happy made him even more happy. He never went out on a date with anyone before, but something told him this will be a memorable one.

"So, we have an official date... this coming weekend?"

"yes we do Toshinori"

ARC REVIEW: Twisted Knight by K. Bromberg

4.5/5. Releases 9/24/24 (in audio).

The Vibes: Succession but make it romance, highKEY revenge, legit enemies to lovers in contemporary, match my freak etc etc

Heat Index: 7.5/5

The Basics:

Raised in a privileged but misogynistic community, Rowan Rothschild is determined to pick up the pieces after her grandmother's death and take her spot in the family business... whether or not her family actually supports that. Just as she's about to do so, her brother, Rhett, stabs her in the back with a plan to sell the majority of the company to the mysterious Holden Knight, a man who came out of nowhere to make his money in tech. So what does he want with the Rothschilds' spirits company? Rowan hates him off the bat, and he delights in it—while seeing something in her that the other men in the company don't. As the two enter into an untrusting—and very physical—alliance, both Rowan and Holden hurtle towards a clash with a price neither one is ready to pay.

The Review:

Well. That was a surprise.

I've never read K. Bromberg before, and in truth I kind of just went off the "enemies to lovers with angst" vibe. This was at the time (and maybe still is) categorized as fantasy romance on Goodreads, and the title and cover made me feel like it was? But it's very much not—this is a contemporary, Rich People Problems book. And I am... good with that. Because I gotta say, this kind of knocked it out of the park.

The problem with a lot of billionaire~ romances (and I'm not sure anyone is here—the Rothschilds definitely have a LOT of money, but not that money, and Holden is mentioned to be a multimillionaire but later appears to have more cash than Rowan expected) is that there's a lot of 'em.... and they have become very tropey, I've found. An enemies to lovers book theoretically set around the corporate world would often end up feeling like the heroine is just stomping her foot and saying HMPH, never actually opposing the hero on a serious level. The business is barely noted.

And billionaire alphas? So hard to write well these days. They don't talk like... people. They say the types of things I expect real life men who consider themselves "alphas" to say. But I don't want a real life "alpha male", I want a good one! (A fake one. From books.)

Twisted Knight seems to completely understand these issues and sail over them with ease. Rowan is a FABULOUS heroine. In a way, she gave Shiv Roy, but way more competent and way less of a horrible person (I say as someone who does love Shiv Roy, for the record). She's defiant of her family, but not unrealistically so. She's aware of her privilege... most of the time. But that doesn't mean she wasn't raised in it and doesn't unconsciously (or consciously) indulge in it. She has heart, but she also has her own goals, her self-centered aims, a willingness to, ultimately, be ruthless to get what she wants. And she's QUITE bratty.

Holden, on the other hand, has a more tragic backstory than Rowan... But he's also lost the plot, and the book paints him in a way that's hot and impressive but also HUMAN. Bromberg doesn't write him as if she's fawning over him, as if we should all just be sooooo impressed with this dude. He's a smug bastard. But the book is not smug ABOUT HIM. It's something that's kind of difficult to explain, but you can feel it in the writing. The writing is just... better.

Also, I felt like this guy was one step ahead of everyone for most of the book. But I never felt like he was INFALLIBLE. He could be aggressive with Rowan, but I never felt like she couldn't throw it right back at him (and she usually did). It felt to me like both of them were weakening in the face of love, not just her. Additionally, while they definitely have a caustic dynamic for the first half of the book or so... It's never over the top. Never did I feel like he was BULLYING her. Fucking with her head, yeah. However, these were evenly matched adults going to bat, and that, along with the higher stakes, put this in the category of enemies to lovers versus the softer rivals to lovers or the (in my opinion) dumber bully romance.

(All this being said, he does have a very classic but good revenge motivation, and you know. I supported those wrongs. Mostly.)

The thing is that I actually felt like I could see the progression of Holden and Rowan falling in love. The physical attraction is there off the bat... But even once they start hooking up? It's not love just yet. It's one of my favorite things, when done right: a physical fast burn and an emotional slow burn. And yes, this does it perfectly. These are sharky people, and they don't STOP being sharky people because they're falling in love. They're BOTH deeply uncomfortable with their feelings, not just him (how refreshing!). Rowan being like "oh no ew" to this man being SOFT and HUMAN in the afterglow? Amazing. Holden internally screaming while sitting in his car and watching her turn her lights off after she kicks him out for the night? Fabulous. GIVE ME IDIOTS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO EMOTION.

At the same time, you have an interesting set of dynamics informing their relationship. There's the pressure from Rowan's family, who want her to settle down, marry the very stable and very boring CHAD WILLIAMS (that name...), there's here delightfully complex relationship with her douchey brother Rhet... I really appreciated that just because Rowan knows her brother is the worst, doesn't mean she doesn't love him. Because what else are you gonna do?

In a way, Holden's frustration with Rowan's loyalty to her family only made me feel like he truly LIKED her more. He respected her enough to know that she could do better.

I will say—while this book isn't a dark romance by any means, it IS angsty in the best possible way. And you do end on a cliffhanger. And as I realized this wasn't going to wrap up in one book, I was so hoping she wouldn't pull the punch, as I'd seen other authors do in the past.

Dude. She did not pull the punch. AT ALL. I was grinning as this ended.

READY. FOR. THE NEXT. NOOOOOW.

(On an audio note: very well done, both actually performed it, and if you like a male narrator who... gets into it.... Patrick Zeller does the work.)

The Sex:

Oh, also, this was stellar. Numerically there are 4 full scenes and one that comes... very close... but stopped short. And not because it was fade to black. Because someone Deserved It. Rowan runs Holden RAGGED, and he's fully aware.

There's a great variety here, not so much in terms of what is done, but in terms of the emotionality. You have the "get it out of our systems (but not really)" vibe, the fun vibe (uhhhh this book has sexy hide and seek, and it was the hottest thing I've read in a contemporary in a while), the "fraught intensity where we can't own our feelings" vibe, the "oh nooooooo we've gotten twisted up in the game" vibe.

Holden is very "I'M IN CHARGE" in the beginning, and as delightful as that was, I did kind of go "maybe this is where the book starts to slip and Rowan just becomes his willing little doll". NAH. She owns him. If you enjoy a scene where the hero gets so worked up that he basically embarrasses himself... YEAH.

I loved all of it.

Look man, I am STRAPPED. IN. Delighted to have found a new author, and excited to gobble up what else she has to offer (her backlist is expansive). Absolutely recommend this, especially if you're trying to find a billionaire romance that WORKS.

Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rarepair New Year 2024 ch19: Papyrus/Stretch

suggestive

Wordcount: 2024

Stretch lets out a desperate sigh as he checks the balance in his bank account. He's less than 10G shy of being in the red, and it's only the middle of the month. He knows he realistically can't even live off of instant ramen until he gets his monthly allowance from the scholarship. There's no way.

READ ON AO3

Stretch lets out a desperate sigh as he checks the balance in his bank account. He's less than 10G shy of being in the red, and it's only the middle of the month. He knows he realistically can't even live off of instant ramen until he gets his monthly allowance from the scholarship. There's no way.

He scrolls through his contacts, checking with all his regulars if anyone's interested in a quick handjob or a naughty pic. He'll even do blowjobs for half the usual price, he's that desperate.

Despite his pleas, no one is currently interested or available, or has the money to help him out, so he does what any sane, broke skeleton would do: he looks for a sugar daddy website. He knows they're fishy and have a very unbalanced ratio between sugar babies and daddies, but at this point, what other choice does he have but to hope that a dirty old man will take a liking to his youthful bones and will be willing to spend money on him in exchange for some sexual favors?

Stretch isn't thrilled by the idea of having paid sex, despite being okay with sexual favors like handjobs and blowjobs, but he doesn't know what else to try. Yes he tried getting a part-time job like other, less unfortunate students, but even after half a century of monsters living on the surface, mentalities are hard to change and most of this fucking city is still very speciest, skeleton monsters being at the top of the non-employable list.

His grumbling stomach reminds him to focus on the task at hand.

Stretch doesn't let his embarrassment get in the way of creating a sugar baby profile, he threw any decency away the moment he couldn't lie to himself anymore about the state of his finances. He uploads a handful of pics, trying to show his body in the best light. He adds his info and really insists on how urgent and dire his need for money is, implying that he won't be very regarding as to what the daddy will ask him to do. Just like that the profile is up. He gives the algorithm a couple hours to work its magic, just enough to finish his homework and take a shower. When he's all clean, he checks his phone again and starts combing through the handful of messages he's received already.

While most of them are obvious scams, a couple look legit enough that he replies back, and he soon receives some inquiries about his rates. Huh. Stretch didn't think that far, so he provides some random numbers to see what lands and hopes for the best.

In the end, only one daddy seems to not object to the price, so Stretch agrees to send him some nudes after he's confirmed the payment. It was much easier than he thought, and he sighs in relief at being able to eat meat this week.

He stays in contact with the sugar daddy, 'The Great Spaghetti Master', or 'Spaghetti' for short, over the next few days, messaging him regularly in the hopes that he will become Stretch's regular sponsor. So far everything is going extremely smoothly, Spaghetti seems delighted with Stretch's naughty pictures and explicit videos. Stretch himself feels more and more at ease with the idea of having a sugar daddy, and it doesn't take him long to contact Spaghetti to see if he wants more of Stretch. The sugar daddy seemed pleased with the idea, and they agree to meet at a fancy bar.

Stretch takes his time to get ready properly. He wants to do this right. Or more precisely, he wants to make an impact on his sugar daddy so that Spaghetti will want to spoil him rotten. So he puts on a little bit of makeup, just a touch, nothing tacky, and wears the new outfit he bought last week thanks to his daddy's generosity. He keeps it a secret from Spaghetti, hoping it will please him and be to his tastes.

He then shows up to the bar a little early, just enough to get himself a drink first to calm his nerves. He knows that things are safe for now, as he's far from being the only patron in the bar right now, and he's told the bartender about his situation. The fire monster has agreed to keep an eye on Stretch for the evening, just in case he needs help getting rid of Spaghetti, though Stretch doubts the daddy will do anything untoward.

As he sips at his tequila honey bee, Stretch looks around the bar, wondering when his daddy will show up, and more importantly what he looks like. All he knows is that Spaghetti is a dude, Stretch doesn't even know if he's a human or a monster, or even how old he is. Stretch spots a couple old guys in the bar who loosely match the mental image he has of a sugar daddy. One is very obviously a tired and overstressed white-collar worker with little to no hair and who needs alcohol to find any meaning in life, while the other is the polar opposite: a well-fitted, dark gray suit with a neatly folded handkerchief in his lapel pocket, his hair carefully parted in the middle and combed orderly behind his ears. Stretch makes a face. Money is money and he agreed to meet his daddy so he won't be too regarding, but he'd rather Spaghetti be someone else.

The rest of the patrons are mostly couples, some old, others on the younger side, and a handful of single ladies. If Stretch wasn't on a mission to meet his sugar daddy and milk for all he's worth, he might take a chance at one of them. Instead, he focuses on the rest of the patrons, noticing another young skeleton who looks to be around his own age. Skeleton monsters are relatively rare to come by, so when the guy looks his way and their gaze meet, Stretch smiles and lifts his drink. The other nods politely.

Having checked the whole bar and found no one that matches his daddy's description, Stretch turns around on his stool and gulps the rest of his drink down. He raises his hand for the barman, but as he's about to place a new order, the fire monster brings him a tall glass with an orangey liquid.

Stretch quirks a brow at the barman, who points in the direction of the skeleton monster Stretch noticed earlier and says, "from the gentleskeleton over there."

"alright, but what drink is it?" Stretch asks as he nods from afar at the skeleton.

"A skeleton key."

It's a good thing that Stretch wasn't drinking the cocktail already, or he'd be spitting it all over himself with how hard he snorts. He thanks the barman, grabs the glass and makes his way to the other skeleton.

"nice choice," he says, and adds as he gestures at the empty chair, "you're waiting for someone?"

"THANK YOU! AND PLEASE," the other replies in a much too loud voice, waving his hand at the seat to let Stretch know he can sit down.

Stretch thanks the skeleton for the drink before introducing himself. The other then does the same. His name is Papyrus and he is indeed the same age as Stretch. They start talking and once they realize they have a lot in common in terms of center of interests, movies they like, games they play, music tastes, etc, they're unstoppable. They order a few more drinks and continue to chat until the barman comes up to them to let them know that the bar is going to close soon. Stretch only then realizes that he missed his sugar daddy, but he had a great evening chatting with Papyrus so he doesn't regret it. And he had told Spaghetti to text him once he was there and he never received any message, so he was stood up and that means that he doesn't need to feel bad about spending all evening chatting with Papyrus instead.

"ALLOW ME TO WALK YOU TO YOUR CAR," Papyrus offers, lifting his arm gallantly for Stretch to grab. Oh, Stretch does like an old-fashioned gentleskeleton.

"heh, i don't have a car, i came by foot."

"OH. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DRIVE YOU HOME?"

Stretch thinks about the offer. On the one hand, it's not very wise to hop in a stranger's vehicle, but on the other hand he got nothing but good vibes from Papyrus all night, and he doesn't want the evening to stop quite yet. He reasons that he was going to have sex with a sugar daddy he's never met before anyway, so he might as well see where Papyrus' car might lead him.

He soon finds his answer in the shape of a high-end hotel, where Papyrus is apparently staying for a few days. He briefly explains that he's on a business trip for his father's company, but Stretch doesn't quite remember all the details between all the kisses and caresses and moans. They quickly make their way to the bed, where Papyrus proceeds to fuck the brains out of Stretch, until they switch and it's Stretch's turn to make Papyrus see stars. They go at it all night, in all sorts of combinations, whether it be top, bottom, type of genitalia, or who takes control.

It's not until daybreak that they're finally satisfied, and Stretch collapses on the bed and manages to get about two hours of sleep before he's woken up by a text. He grumbles as he squints at the screen and sees it's a message from his sugar daddy.

We seem to have missed each other last night, I'm sorry and I wish we can plan this again for another time. I'll be around until the end of the week, if you still wish to meet.

Stretch lets his phone drop as he buries his face into the pillow. He pats on the bed next to him but finds the spot empty. Lifting his skull up, he watches Papyrus finish to dress up.

"you're going already?" He rasps, his voice completely destroyed by last night's moaning.

"OH! GOOD MORNING, STRETCH," Papyrus happily chirps back, somehow perfectly functional even after the wild night they had and despite the last of sleep. "NO, I'M JUST PUTTING SOME FRESH CLOTHES ON SO I CAN BRING THE DIRTY ONES TO THE RECEPTION TO HAVE THEM CLEAN THEM UP."

Stretch blushes.

"uhm, sorry about that. i hope i didn't ruin your clothes…"

Papyrus giggles and the sound is adorable. "NOT AT ALL MY DEAR." He makes his way back to the bed and sits down next to Stretch, kissing the top of his skull. Stretch wants to purr. "YOU CAN STAY HERE AND REST, I WILL BE WORKING FROM THE NEXT ROOM. GO BACK TO SLEEP."

Bless him, Stretch says with a happy sigh as he drops his skull back on the pillow.

"OH, ONE MORE THING THOUGH," Papyrus grabs Stretch's attention before he can fall back asleep. "WE HADN'T DISCUSSED PRICES IN DETAIL, SO I ONLY HAVE 2000G IN CASH, WILL THAT BE ENOUGH FOR NOW? I CAN GO WITHDRAW SOME MORE IN CASE IT'S NOT ENOUGH."

Stretch hums sleepily. What the fuck is Papyrus talking about? Has Stretch fallen asleep already after all?

"what prices?" He mumbles sleepily, trying to rub the tiredness out of his eyesockets as he sits up a little.

"WELL, THE PRICES FOR THE SUGAR BABY THING," Papyrus replies matter-of-factly and this time Stretch is wide awake. Papyrus notices the surprise on his face and chuckles. "YES, I WAS JUST AS TAKEN ABACK AS YOU WHEN I SENT THAT TEXT AND YOUR CELLPHONE BUZZED. PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT I SNOOPED, I JUST HAPPENED TO GLANCE WHEN YOU PICKED IT UP AND I SAW MY USERNAME ON THE SCREEN."

"papyrus. what are you talking about?" Stretch can't help but ask, even as he knows the answer.

Papyrus beams at him, unperturbed.

"WELL, IT'S ME. I'M THE GREAT SPAGHETTI MASTER. YOUR SUGAR DADDY."

Bangtan Weekly Report...

So a lot happening in here in the last 24 hours. Joon's appointment took everyone by surprise. Seems legit significant and I wondered if this will affect his military service... not in the fact that he would be exempt because of it... not implying that at all. What I'm wondering is after he completes his basic training, would he just go ahead and shift into some kind of position where he is also associated with this particular activity in the military? Stationed at whichever areas are doing this activity and such...

I think for sure it will definitely add to his future opportunities and influence in the public arena. It’s so exciting for him!

Also: Yoongi headed to Japan. I love that shirt, vacation vibes. I hope he was able to rest a little bit and get something to ease his coughing though. I know he keeps saying don't worry, he's not sick, but something is up because you don't hack up a lung like that after walking a few hundred yards for nothing.

Also today: Tae headed to Japan Spain! He looked dressed for an island party. It's been a while since we've seen him wear earrings. Or, I should say an earring since its only one. AND THE HAIR! I'm not a big fan of the frizzy perm but he is squeezing all he can out of his 20s before enlistment with the ash blonde hair moment again!

How does he even see where he's going? How did anyone recognize him? That hat reminds me of a woven straw basket I used to have in my dining room.

TAKE TWO!!! A new OT7 song coming!!! Soooo excited!!! Maybe we'll get a teaser! Produced by Suga and written by RM and Hobi!!!!!

!!!!!!! NEW GROUP MUSIC!!!!!!!

Also today: someone now pointing out that Kookie discreetly moved a small object out of camera view during his garbage disposer repairman live on Feb. 27 ...

How did I not notice him doing that when I watched the live... so now someone is saying it resembles a car key fob... for a Porsche...hmmm, who do we know that drives a Porsche? ... ummm.... I don't know... it could be, or not? It's got a reflective chrome button looking area on it. It's white and car key fob shaped...

Of course, it could also be a vaper or his own car key fob or something else... a tube of lube (Kookie... please put stuff away after you use it, I know its handy there but still... TMI you know?) ... I need more visual info.

Also today: I see people grumbling (outright bitching) about the commercialization of Festa/BTS... commercialization = selling out...

This is my take on all of that (and probably an unpopular opinion, but anyways...):

People are all for their "sold-out" king when a random t-shirt or shoes they are wearing or an insulated mug sells out, but our guys don't see a penny of that.

And now you're saying official BTS merch would be somehow unsavory... a money grab... even though money from the sale of THAT DOES go into their pockets?... please think through what you are saying...

And commercialization in the form of sponsorships is not good? How is it not good?...Sponsorships are great!

Here's the deal... money makes the world go round... so that exact thing is what will help perpetuate the longevity of BTS, those sponsorships will give BTS a shit ton of money in return for licensing/promotion and underwriting big ticket projects.

It keeps BTS alive in the public eye and keeps the income coming in order for them to do first class work and endeavor to promote themselves and give us great events. Fabulous purple fireworks shows are not free. Sponsors help underwrite the cost of that. And because these events are happening will also indirectly help the many small businesses in those areas because of the influx of visitors to these events.

Turning the city purple creates excitement about BTS and reminds locals that BTS are global cultural ambassadors. Army should be hella proud of that.

What other kpop group is getting news coverage for their 10th anniversary? None.

Deep pockets allow BTS to book stadium tours, so the more chance more of us can see them in-person.

The day the money stops flowing will REALLY be the day BTS retires.

If we are who we say we are and intend to support BTS no matter what happens... IF WE ARE IN THIS BANGTAN SHIT FOR LIFE ... and what we are given right now is merch and purple corndogs, then I will buy a keychain or a book or eat purple tteokbokki, or whatever, along with whatever music is released. If you really are against it, then don't buy anything but don't act like what they are doing is disgusting.

Anyway, its been a full day. We are headed into Festa season for the next two weeks and beyond. The timeline seems focused on positive things. Or maybe that's my imagination. I am going to enjoy it while I can.

[ordinaryschmuck]

Good things that happened today:

I guess because it happened at around 1 AM, it'll count to say that I drew a bunch of random doodles that I became proud of.

I reblogged hopefully legit campaigns of Palestinians begging for money so that they don't die in a genocide. I hoped I helped enough people today and I hope that those same people got the money they deserve to have soon enough.

I watched a decent serial of Doctor Who that shows just how well Three works as The Doctor and what happens when his ideology clashes with another character.

Got a DVD case for my box set DVDs so that it could hopefully save up room and that I don't snap the DVDs when taking them out of their weirdly tough casings. Seriously, what's with box sets making it difficult to remove their DVDs nowadays?

I watched an Amazing World of Gumball compilations and some full episodes that gave me the laugh I've been needing for days on end. I forgot how creatively funny that show was.

Good things about me:

I have a good sense of humor, knowing what's funny for me and understanding to ease up when something isn't funny for others.

I am an empathetic person who knows what's right and wrong and will always have a desire to help others if they need me. I might not be able to do much, but I can always do my best.

I have a good art style that might not be on the level of artists who inspire me, but it's at least something that makes it quick and easy to draw and allows me to have fun with my characters.

I know what makes animation so good and can appreciate it in a variety of styles.

I'm allowing myself to understand y faults but accept that there are good things about me. I'm not a perfect human being, God knows that. But I'm improving and bettering myself slowly, and I will eventually get to a pint where I don't feel weird or ashamed about admitting good things about myself. It's not egotistical to say I'm good at this or that. It's accepting that I'm not as bad as my brain kept telling me that I am.

[fromtenthousandfeet]

I don’t disagree with most of what you said in your last post, and for the most part blame Bang PD and Hybe for everything leading up to where we are now. The only thing I don’t really understand is that it’s been proven that MHJ was trying to make it so that they were more independent from Hybe and thus Hybe would not actually gain from New Jeans success. Ador/MHJ/NJ’s clearly were not on board for bringing in more for Hybe to ease BTS’s burden, so why give them that credit? From what I can tell, if they had it their way BTS would not benefit from them doing well at all. Criticize Hybe as much as you want, and I’ll be there nodding my head, but I can’t get on board with this narrative that excludes Hybe from being a big reason why new jeans is as successful as they are, or that mhj is more than just another self-obsessed millionaire. The disrespect towards BTS that’s been shown through this whole situation by both Hybe and MHJ really shouldn’t be ignored by anyone who has spent any amount of time or brain space supporting them, and I really hope if nothing else the PJMs that have been cheering this on because they rightly hate Hybe remember that Jimin is part of the group that has been disrespected. You don’t need to cape for any of these people, none of them deserve it.

Anon,

Thanks for your message and thanks for being respectful with your criticism of MHJ. As a woman, I've really struggled with the lazy ad-hominem attacks BTS fans have used against MHJ rather than focusing on actual potential wrong doing on her part. Enough with pedo this and shaman that.

Fundamentally, HYBE owns an 80% stake in Ador. Since Ador is not a publicly traded company, there is no mechanism for outside investors to buy stock/invest in the company. There is absolutely no way whatsoever for MHJ to remove Ador from underneath HYBE. And because HYBE owns 80% equity, they receive 80% of Ador's revenue. The only way MHJ/Ador could hurt HYBE would be to intentionally lose money, which they haven't done. What they have done is build a solid product and brand that continues to be noticed and lauded by the media (Forbes, Billboard, etc.), music critics, creatives, and of course, fans. Also, the ROI on NewJeans is really impressive (see my next post).

In terms of wanting to be independent from HYBE, I suspect Bang PD promised Min Hee Jin autonomy at her label. She probably assumed that she could use her creative vision to create her own group and likely didn't expect she would be plagiarized by other labels under the HYBE Labels umbrella. Complaining about your boss sabotaging your success seems pretty legit and normal to me. BTS fans are quick to say she's made these allegations up, but folks, we've already seen this exact playbook after Jimin's success. BigHit "borrowed" Jimin's visual concepts for Jungkook's Seven almost verbatim. But copying his clothes and photography style is nothing compared to the lengths they went to not only reproduce Jimin's #1 on the BB Hot 100, but also to surpass and devalue all of his accomplishments with that crappy song that wasn't even written in house. BigHit/HYBE damaged Jimin's artistry and his brand value. Sorry, but that's unforgiveable in my humble opinion.

I personally don't see how the conflict between MJH and BSH has hurt BTS. If anything, it's galvanized an increasingly fractured fandom around a common enemy. The conflict has benefited RM the most as the fandom sprung into action in order to "protect" BTS from the witch. Simply look at the lackluster response to Hobi's Neuron and Teahyung's Fri(end)s compared to the response to RM's new album and singles. The fandom has obviously been losing momentum the longer the boys are away and now they have a new reason to be reinvigorated.

In the end, I'm happy to agree to disagree. This blog isn't serious. My opinions are my own and of course I could be completely wrong. Also, I'm not ARMY, I'm just a casual fan who is fascinated by both BTS' international success and the devotion of their die-hard fandom. That said, I think Jimin has the potential to be hugely successful as a solo artist and I hope it happens. It's been a strange and sad journey to watch his own company sabotage him in order to protect Bang PD's ego and artificially inflate Scooter Braun's value to the company.

FUCK TECHNOLOGY

My phone just exploded, I mean it was old but still hello what the heck it took half of my life span. I knew it was going to die BUT IT LEGIT EXPLODED.

But now on the serious note I forget people didn't grow up in the same financial situation.

I grew up poor simply said but Wilbur my boyfriend grew up top class.

So as I am stressing over my phone and how there is no possibility of me affording a new one (I could borrow money but I don't like asking for it , very Richard Papen of me). Wilbur sees this and goes like

"don't stress darling we can just buy a new one"

I am still not used to him being able to afford things with ease and he is still realizing that not everyone grew up like him.

It just showed how different we grew up and how it made us view life differently.

We are still learning.

He always pays for stuff (he bought me the new phone) and it makes me feel so guilty so I try repaying him in different ways.

On unserious note I am so close to just saying fuck the technology and go full on Henry Winter style on life

I am here posting at 4 AM right in the day of my birthday because something unexpected happened. While many other things related to the challenge happened and I'll post about that after my birthday is over...

While listening to subliminals and affirming about having my dream family, my younger brother whom I've gone NC with him for 3 years has finally talked to me and apologized which is something unexpected to me considering how he is.

TL;DR incoming.

For context, my brother and I have been really close since I was practically the one that raised him since my Mom was not the best mother and back then she didn't even have her BPD diagnose. My brother was favored because of his gender but I really didn't mind, I still loved him regardless and protected him even when my Mom was being unfair or practically treated him badly for not being the son she expected him to be.

I won't go into details since they are really personal plus I don't want to remember the old story of my Mom being legit formerly abusive. Still, when her BPD was at her worse, she suddenly tried to pin my brother and I against each other but none of us would budge. Still, my brother got a girlfriend who got him addicted to prescription drugs (he basically stole my Mom's numbing medication and my own chronic illness medication whenever he visited me to get a kick of sudden peace and numbness). The girlfriend also got him into a certain grass we all know and he secretly smoked it at my Mom's house even tho he knew my Mom was told to not be around smokers of that thing because her BPD would get worse. He also began lying and stealing money from my Mom but I still tried to put peace.

One day, my Mom tried to send me messages to complain about my brother's girlfriend to me but sent the messages to him instead by accident. Instead of reasoning that it was another of our mother's antics of complaining about one child to the other, he accused me of being on her side and insulted me and berated me for the first time in a very disrespectful manner. And I wasn't going to allow that.

So when he said "Don't ever talk to me again", I said to him "Wish granted, Aladdin". And from there, I haven't talked to him in 3 years. Not a single "Happy Birthday", "Merry Christmas" and such. I wanted to teach him that I wasn't going to talk to him unless I got an apology and I was willing to talk things out and put everything aside. But he didn't talk to me.

My Mom blackmailed me several times into me being the one apologizing to him to have her two children together and I told her I wasn't going to do that since I wasn't going to apologize for something I didn't do, in fact, she should be the one apologizing to BOTH of us and she should be the one lecturing him and patching things up for us since she was the one that caused this in the first place. For the past years, my Mom kept pushing me and I wasn't budging.

Then I revised my Mom (you can check about that in my masterpost), my Mom felt really sad about the situation but she started recognizing her fault on this. My brother supposedly quit university and that upset my Mom, I revised that actually as a way to make her feel at ease since she was finally being the Mom I wanted her to be... And somehow one day she told me to go to my brother's university graduation and I was like "WTF is going on, is this LoAss? Huh?" because I'm a dumbass and I still get shocked at the stuff I manifest myself because everything just comes so easily to me that it feels unbelievable. Apparently, no one remembers that my brother quit university and things are going well apparently.

(This gif describes me well being shocked at being successful at manifesting and I am not tired about overusing this as my reaction to my own God powers and good stuff happening to me)

So basically, as a way to affirm SP in a very positive light and also for this challenge I'm doing (not 3DOLC x ROE), I was affirming for good family relationships so I can actually have my family at my wedding with SP (Yes, i'm that much of a hopeless romantic)... And suddenly my brother wished me "Happy Birthday", apologized and talked to me about videogames and asked me about my pets and health. He said he missed me and that he just wants things to be back to normal between all of us and have videogame nights again with our Mom like when we were younger.

So... Yeah, I guess I have my brother back now too. I gotta revise him stopping the medication stealing, not him being into the grass and for him to actually be my usual brother again. I really don't care about the girlfriend, but if she's going to drag him into these things, I really don't want her to be part of his life. Especially because she made him quit his dream to drag him to be in her university and get into the same career as her as a way to prove her that he truly loved her (yeah, this girl be so toxic that she is weak to psychic and ground types, hope you guys get this reference).

I guess I manifested his ass when I decided I didn't care about him because I had my Mom back and that he would eventually come around so why care about him. And there he is.

But yeah, happy birthday to me I guess lol??? This was an unexpected gift???

Hello. As a Greek-American that was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Greece, whenever I think of a greek gyro, I think of a pork gyro with a distinct texture to the meat. Meanwhile here in the U.S., either because of ease of mass production or some other reason, doner kebab type meat (ground lamb and beef) is served in "Greek gyros". I asked my uncle about the reasoning Greek gyros were poorly translated/not representative of the usual dish and he explained it was because the doner kebab was popular in western Europe, then branched to the U.S. from there. Whenever I try to look up some kind of dialogue around the topic, especially in regards to why 95%+ of Greek restaurants serve it, I don't come up with much I feel like. Do you have any enlightenment of what changed or influenced Greek-Americans to serve non-tranditional gyros?

Also, unpopular opinion maybe but Greek food in the U.S. a majority of the time is not good. I lived many years relative to Tarpon Springs and would often try the food while also having a lot of exposure to actual Greek food in Greece, and it was... I don't want to be rude. But it's the greatest disappointment to struggle to find good Greek food when you miss it so much :'( I've lived in many other states too and I've found one place in Chicago I know of that serves pork gyros so far. One restaurant in Tarpon I'll admit impressed me and my grandfather with some dishes, but they changed management by the time I went again and they served the mousaka with marinara splashed on the plate.

Sorry for getting a little ranty, but I just do not see Greek-Americans talk about this and hoped you had some ideas/thoughts.

Greek dishes and menus from the US and Canada can legit scare me 😂😂 The marinara on the side....??? 😭

For why the dishes change, I can only speculate, based on what I've seen. I've seen that ethnic restaurants often adapt to the local taste buds. I suspect most Greeks, desperate to gain money in the US, would adapt to make their food appealing to the locals and the local minorities who are not allowed to eat pork - the last addition is for the gyros meat. Maybe as the generations pass, the younger members change the dishes according to what's popular in the area.

More for gyros: Perhaps lamb and beef was the meat mostly available to them - maybe because Judaists or Muslims were already in the area and buying a lot - so they could get it easily and cheap. And then maybe it stuck, because people came know the Greek version as such.
