I love the implication that Bobby just showed up at work without telling anyone he was coming back it’s so funny

like he would have been told about gerrard if he called the chief to say hey I’m ready to go back so I’ll be there on monday

the 118 really is just a pocket of the LAFD where rules do not apply and all the other firehouses are like yeah we try not to get sucked in to all that

Bobby really said "You know what? I don't quit. Lemme just show back up at the station and take back over without talking to anyone. What do you mean my house got burned down, and I almost died, and they replaced me already?"

Like, SIR. How are you physically ABLE to be at work already ANYWAY!? Get some REST. And also, jobs don't WORK LIKE THAT.

Someone help this man.

May I offer you a mental picture of a canine I see frequently at work? They are a white potato of a chihuahua, not super overweight but definitely well fed. Always very clean, his father is very kind and doting on him and sometimes he wears a tiny jacket if it is too cold. This little gentleman who never barks at strangers and likes to flirt with the ladies recently got his certification as a Medical Alert Dog, which makes me smile when I see him.

Oh he sounds like a dapper little man, doing such important job too.

It's nice to know that you're also reading danmei novels..lolol. Just wondering but what are your favorites?

Oh anon-san, you've asked the right question because danmei is like my LIFELINE right now. There's ALOT that I've yet to read (mostly waiting for english translations to complete), but I can definitely give you my TOP 5 DANMEI NOVELS.

Morrigan’s “Gift”

Feyre: Everyone keeps telling me you have the “gift of truth” but what does mean? Do you never lie or something?

Morrigan: No; my bullshit detector is just better than other people’s.

Feyre: In a magical way?

Morrigan: Nope. I’m just good at calling people out on their B.S.

Feyre: ……………?

Morrigan: Yeah I’ll be like “That’s super sus” when someone’s acting up.

Feyre: oh.

Mist and Alpha late night talk be upon ye. Their relationship is very important to me.

It's quiet on the roof. Getting there isn't easy, but once settled, Mist relishes in the sense of peace that washes over her. Tonight, though, she only gets two lungfulls of smoke before a voice cuts through the relative silence of the night.

"Got one for me ?"

How Alpha always manages to find her hidding spots is beyond Mist's knowledge.

"Die," she grumbles without looking at him, even as she extends the pack of cigarettes toward the fire ghoul.

The fact alone that he lights it without flourish tells Mist Alpha is preoccupied. That and the tension sitting heavy in his broad shoulders.

"You good ?" he rasps after a long inhale, voice always a bit veiled, scratching in his throat.

Mist shrugs vaguely, eyes finding a star and latching onto it. There's a long silence, an unusual display of patience from Alpha, before she sighs in defeat.

"Worried about Omega."

A gush of winds raises goosebumps on her skin. She should have brought a jacket. It becomes a bit more bearable when Alpha reajusts his stance and the heat he naturally radiates washes over her.

"Yeah, me too."

Smoke billows in front of them as it escapes their mouths, curling in hypnotizing shapes.

"...don't get me wrong, I love Terzo, I think he's a great guy, but..."

"He's human," Alpha finishes for her, "mortal. And Omega is not. I mean not really. No one's eternal, but us ghouls come close."

With a heavy sigh, Mist nods, lower lip bitten raw and stinging.

"Omega always had a big, bleeding heart. If- when he loses Terzo to human fragility, he's going to feel it with his entire being."

Alpha grunts in agreement. There is no way Omega won't fall appart at the loss of his lover, no matter the circumstances.

"Can't get too close to humans. Will just bring pain."

Mist huffs.

"Hypocrite."

"Fuck you, Secondo and I are just a thing of convenience, nothing more."

What a poor liar Alpha can be, when it comes to these matters, a tremor in his voice and longing in his eyes. Mist raises an eyebrow, tilting her head toward him.

"I didn't even mention him."

Shoulders sagging in defeat, Alpha runs a tired hand on his face, through his hair. Mist wonders if he still struggles to sleep, or if he stays up late just to catch a break, have a quiet moment to himself. If so, her presence doesn't seem to bother him; after all, he sought her out in the first place.

"You still having nightmares ?"

Mist tenses.

"Fuck d'you think i'd be doing here if I wasn't ?"

Alpha doesn't answer. Mist bites her lip, inhales, exhales, shaking off the guilt churning in her guts. It's instinctive, biting when she feels cornered, when a touchy subject is on the table. And if it was anyone else, she probably would storm off. But this is Alpha. The fire ghoul knows, and understands.

"Sorry. I meant, yes, I still have them."

Somewhere in the night, an animal screeches. A cloud momentarily hides the moon. Nightmares are terrible things, forcing Mist to face her deepest fears without being able to do anything about it. She doesn't remember when it started, but now she can hardly spend a night without having her own mind playing those cruel tricks on her.

Some nights, when Mist wakes up with the taste of bile in her mouth and torn sheets sticking to her clamy skin, she forgets where she is. All that she feels is how small and lonely she is.

"You don't have to sleep alone, y'know."

It's as if Alpha read her mind. A tempting offer. Mist considers, stomping on the butt of her cigarette.

"You'd hold me, sparkling ?"

The light tone she tried to inject in her voice falls flat, as does the nickname Alpha hates so much. As it is, he only hums and finally turns fully toward her.

"You know I will. If you let me."

The cloud drifts away, silver moonlight pouring once again on Alpha's face, highlighting the deep scars on his cheek, the days old stubles, the crease between his eyebrows.

"Alright then."

They stare at each other in silence for a while. There is something off with Alpha's expression, like he's trying very hard to school it into his usual bitch resting face. Mist is not sure how to word the question she's burning to ask.

"Do you- did something happen ? You look...upset."

The way Alpha opens his mouth in an instant, ready to retort, lips starting to pull back in a snear, reminds Mist of herself just a few minutes ago. But then he looks away, shoulders and chest rising with the inhale he takes.

"Got into a fight with Pebble."

"Again ?"

Mist isn't sure what Alpha and Pebble's relationship is. Most Siblings and a few other ghouls are convinced they hate each other's guts - and given the amount of screaming matchs they get into, it's a fair assumptions. But Mist knows damn well it goes further than that.

She knows they both respect each other, despite everything. She knows Pebble tends to seek Alpha's gruff approval, even if the earth ghoul would vehemently deny it and possibly comit murder if anyone mentionned it. Mist has keen eyes, and she can see that Alpha orbits toward Pebble much more than you'd expect. That he looks out of the earth ghoul and genuinely seems to care about him, in his own way. Their fights tend to get to both of them, no matter how much they try to shrug them off.

"...yeah. It's fine, we'll get over it, I just...wasn't even trying to piss him off, you know ?"

Yes, Mist does know. Whatever bound those two share, it's torny and full of knots, a difficult thing that's still strong enough never to let them severe it. She hopes the squeeze she gives to his shoulder is enugh to convey her understanding, all the reassurances she doesn't really know how to put into words.

It seems to be, if the way Alpha leans into it with the faintest hint of a purr is anything to go by.

Her musing is interrupted by a jaw-dislocating yawn.

"C'me on. It's so late it's almost early," Alpha mumbles, rubbing his eyes.

They don't speak of the fire ghoul's offer again, but when Alpha steps into his bedroom, Mist is right behind him.

Maybe, tonight, warm limbs will ward off the horrors of the night.

Hello Guild Wars 2 community! A new poll has dropped! 🐦‍⬛

(At least, hopefully new, lol.) I'm curious, which blessing did your Commander get on their first/canon go through the Raven Sanctum in the story mission "The Invitation?" Choose and tell me in the tags why they made their specific decisions :)

Compiled explanations from the wiki below for ease of access:

The trial choices in order:

Save the wounded man or save the healers

Save the spell tome or save the historical record

Save the queen or save the prince

Blessings:

Blessing of Daybreak

"When the fear of beastly claws and a child's pain is made sharp by the knowledge of elders, we make no mistakes. But do we grow?"

Healers -> historical record -> prince

Grace of Dawn

"When wisdom is favored in all things—a healing hand, a text of old, a beloved queen—we lose the sharpened sword of the truly bold."

Healers -> historical record -> queen

Consecration of Morning

"We seek to destroy monsters with sharp claws and icy breath, but do we protect ourselves from the beasts shaped like us, who prey on the young and vulnerable, who seek to rule us?"

Healers -> spell tome -> prince

Invocation of Midday

"When we flee from the things we fear most - the teeth of beasts, the storm of a dragon, a change of power-we risk running backward."

Healers -> spell tome -> queen

Supplication of Midday

"We favor the skill of healers and the wisdom of elders over the uncertainty of the future. But the young take chances, and the young push us forward."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Consecration of Evening

"We long for the comfort of a healing touch, an ancestral word of wisdom, a leader we know and trust. But comfort is fleeting, and with it comes inertia."

Wounded man -> historical record -> queen

Grace of Dusk

"We sacrifice so much—safety from the claws of death, knowledge of the ages, a steadfast reign—to propel ourselves forward. But if we move too fast, do we risk the inability to stop?"

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Blessing of Twilight

"We try so hard to do the right thing. We heal, we protect our people, we preserve stability. But we cannot control how the winds of fate may shift, and a tight grip can sometimes hurt more than it helps."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> queen

If the Graveyard kids were demigods, which Greek god would they be the child of? (Riodanverse AU)

For Ashlyn, I believe she would just be another of Apollo's kids, keeping to herself most of the time. Nobody really paid her any mind because out of the dozens of Apollo kids, there wasn't anything particularly remarkable about her. She wasn't the Head Counsellor or anything. She liked it that way. Ashlyn discovered she was a demigod when she was young and spent two full years at the camp to fully prepare for living as a demigod in the mortal world before becoming a summer-only kid. Her sensitivity to sound is one of the strange abilities she inherited but isn't fully able to control, which is why she wears enchanted earplugs that keep sounds at a more tolerable level. Beyond that, she was a pretty average Apollo kid. She was good at the basics like Archery and Music but not beyond that of a normal Apollo kid. The only thing that really stood out was her dancing. It was her special interest, incorporating it into her daily life as a demi-god as often as she could. Her fighting style was based on ballet in canon and she preferred fighting with her legs over her hands--even going as far as putting a weapon in her shoes so she could still use her legs to attack. So she is an average demigod overall. Until one day she discovers that she was one of the few to inherit Apollo's nosokinesis, the ability to create and control diseases (like her ability to open rifts and trap people in them in canon). There's also the fact that her name literally means 'dream' or 'vision', so considering the fact that Apollo is literally the god of prophecy, I think being a child of Apollo fits her very well.

For Logan, I feel that for a long time, he would just be another unclaimed kid. He didn't know anything about his real parents and his grandparents were always super cagey about it until he was older and got attacked by a monster and they finally took him to the camp. He still doesn't know who his biological mother was. Then one day after being pushed too far by bullies, he snapped just like in canon, and was claimed by Ares, the god of war. Much to his and Barron's (another child of Ares) dismay because what the fuck do you mean this dickhead is my half-brother?! He had initially believed that his parent was related to his love for space and astronomy or maybe even his intelligence and love for math but Ares?!

For Aiden, I think being a child of Hermes suits him best. I've done some tests and got answers like Ares or the Big Three, which I don't think those really fit him. But for some reason, I like the idea that he has the favour of/is a legacy of Hades or Hecate from his dad's side while being completely unaware of it until much later (the unexplained connection his dad has to Maverick). Children of Hermes tend to be more hyperactive than other demigods and are often referred to as a jack of all trades and I think those things really suit Aiden. When he was younger, his parents sent him to camp year round in hopes that it would help him and he came back with dyed blond hair, red eye contacts and a reckless streak a mile wide.

For Ben, I believe that this kid is and always will be a child of Apollo. His deep love and talent for singing and music, his rage and hurt at having this taken away from him. His knack for medicine despite only having experience through taking care of Aiden. He only discovered he was a demigod after his voice was destroyed so he never learned that he could heal people with his voice/singing until one of the others, maybe Taylor, were fatally injured and he had no supplies to save them so as one last attempt to comfort them, he breaks his years of silence and sings for them. To his complete astonishment, they started healing and were able to stay alive long enough to get the medical help they needed. He felt pressued to sing and use his voice after that because it could heal people but Aiden or one of the others nipped that in the bud and told him he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. The idea of him also having premonitions when something bad is going to happen is cool, especially if it's the reason why he ends up catching little details the others fail to notice (a little nod to Canvas Ben for being so goddamn observant). His relationship with Aiden is also cute because children of Apollo and children of Hermes tend to get along, although not all of them do (Aiden and Ashlyn lol).

For Taylor and Tyler, I believe the twins would be children of Hephaestus. In some cultures, identical twins are treated as one entity/soul that was separated into two people and the same could be said about the Hernandez twins in this AU. Although they are different people with different interests and goals, that is how they are perceived as mortals. On the divine side of things, however, they are seen as a single soul split into two. That's why their connection goes far beyond that of regular mortal twins. Their abilities also reflect this. Taylor is a brilliant craftswoman and has a way with technology that separates her from the rest. She's also extremely fire-resistant, which proves to be useful considering her brother has the ability to manipulate fire. Tyler, on the other hand, has the basic skills needed to be a mechanic due to growing up with Taylor but it isn't instinctive in the same it is for Taylor. He is one of the few children of Hephaestus to have pyrokinesis, something he had to learn to master on his own because there wasn't anyone to teach him. They complete each other.

Although Aiden and Ashlyn spent a year or two in the camp, their paths never crossed and they were just another faceless person in the crowd of campers until they officially met when Ben and Aiden began to go to her high school in her sophomore year. Aiden clocked her as a demigod as soon as they met at the bus and was excited to meet another one of them outside of camp. He was also curious to know if she figured out what she was yet and if not, he could protect her from monsters and lead her to camp! Ashlyn recognized both Aiden and Ben as demigods but preferred to avoid mixing her mortal life with her mythological one so she avoided Aiden's needling to the best of her ability. When Ben finally told Aiden that she was another child of Apollo at camp, Aiden doubled down on the pestering which irritated Ashlyn beyond belief. Unfortunately for her, this wasn't the last she was going to see of him.

Mid-way through the first semester, Ashlyn received a prophecy from the Oracle stating that she and five others were to go on a quest. It was a shock to her and everyone in the camp because she was pretty unremarkable yet she was the one that had to go on the quest? It was ridiculously vague beyond the fact that she specifically had to go to Savannah with a group of five others. So she had to pick five other members for her team.

Nearly everyone tried to volunteer and because Ashlyn didn't particularly care who went along, names were drawn out of a bowl. With her luck, Aiden and Ben's names were both drawn out of the bowl, along with the Hernandez twins and Logan. She wasn't particularly happy with those chosen but she supposed it could be worse. Especially when she considered the fact she could've been going with him.

Barron was throwing a fit about how an unclaimed coward like Logan couldn't have possibly been picked but Tyler told him that no one would even want to go on a quest with him considering the only thing he cared about was glory and honour for himself.

And so, the six of them packed their things and started their journey to Savannah, Georgia where it all went to hell.

hiiiiiiiiii! i'm new to 911blr. are there any favourite blogs you would recommend?

Ngl. Messages like this are common, but it's hard to really recommend blogs to people you don't know. You don't really know what they want on their dash. And just because a blog is one of my favorites doesn't mean you'll vibe with it too.

Not to mention the fact that it can be uncomfortable making lists like that because you inevitably end up leaving people out.

I'm gonna try to put together a list that might help new people, but it's not going to be all encompassing. I don't know everyone in this fandom. I don't follow everyone in this fandom (or on this list), and I certainly don't know every creator in this fandom. But if any of these strike your fancy, you can use them to find more blogs to follow by checking out who they reblog from, etc.

[divine-misfortune]

insane water ghoul lore you say?... care to share with the class 👀👀👀 (only if you want to of course)

OH BOY

@wrathofrats and I will eventually have something way more expanded upon in regards to this because oh the lore is fucking complicated

I attempted to condense it but did a horrible job of keeping it short

I've got a fic sitting in the wips somewhere that expands a little upon the last section, more lil tidbits on the concept of water ghouls in general can be found if you jump between my lore tag and Wrath's lore tag

Water ghouls are very fickle, complicated creatures. The clergy hasn't mastered the art of domesticating them because water truly is an unpredictable and unforgiving element. They can only be kept docile for so long, unfortunately.

We've gone through a lot of water ghouls if you think about it - seven of them. More than twice the amount of other elements. It's because their nature can only be denied for so long. In short, all water ghouls are fated to return to a feral, demonic state of being that is too dangerous to keep around. The clergy believed it was a fluke at first, that Water and Lake were offshoots, because every other summon had gone over well up until then. But then River reverted as well and the pieces fell together.

Some ghouls took their deterioration better than others; Delta was afraid - he did everything he could to avoid his fate and still destroyed himself in the process, Mist knew what was coming for her and she took it in stride daily until they couldn't keep her any longer, Dew never reached that point but part of him was at peace with what was to come even though most of him lived in fear of the day he would no longer be himself. He was offered the escape of transitioning, of abandoning the element that would eat away at his mind until he was no longer himself, and despite seeing what transitioning to quintessence did to Delta he took the chance. Fire accepted him, it consumed him, and he never sought to fight it. He was the first to succeed in changing.

But then there's Rain.

Nobody's told Rain about the previous water ghouls, Dew is cagey about it. Keeps it close to his chest and only divulges crumbs if anything. He doesn't know what's coming for him and Dew loves him too much to see that same growing fear in his eyes, he can't bring himself to tell him the truth.

Rain has lasted...Too long. Year after year, nothing seems to change about him. That's scarier than watching him slip, because they don't know when it'll come - if it'll be gradual or abrupt, like they all might wake up one day and find Rain no better than a beast. Dew believes him to be living on borrowed time. It's selfish of him to keep the facts to himself, but Dew needs to pretend Rain will be different because he has been different. Maybe he's broken the cycle. Dew can hope.

Though Rain keeps his own secrets. Every full moon, he finds that he is losing himself. The siren inside of him is fighting to escape, and it is a battle he's losing ground on. Letting go of his glamor, becoming fins and scales and mesmerizing words, it's essentially surrendering to it. Every time he relents, he loses a part of himself he'll never get back.

The Haughty Prince AU

🪻 Mischief is born; a prince hides along the shore

[ashthewaterghoul]

Imagine Copia just walking freely, unaware that the ghoulettes are walking behind him, keeping an eye and making sure no one is mean to him 😆

Oh they were pure stealth stalking him on his first day as Frater.

You know the new chapter? Where Copia is waiting for Papa V to come in?

Yeah the Ghoulettes are actually in the background. They’re just so good at what they do that you can’t see them.

[dewdrops-whammy-bar]

Water ghoul anatomy? I’m interested

Alrighty get ready for some speculative biology!!! (I’m not a biologist so all of this may be wildly wrong but just go with it, it’s all magic and demons)

Water ghouls are a lot like snails in that all adult ghouls can both produce and fertilize eggs. In the pit, they don’t have a concept of gender so if a pair wants to have kits they perform a ritual to decide who will carry the eggs. Think intricate dancing and sparring.

All water ghouls have a tentacle, egg sac, ink sac, breast tissue, vagina, uterus, and external pouch (like a seahorse or a marsupial). The tentacle lives in a sheath between the clitoris and vaginal opening and has enough neural tissue in it to move independently of the rest of the body. Kinda like an octopus, it can be moved like any other limb but when it’s not consciously being controlled it tends to do its own thing.

Water ghouls are constantly producing eggs and every month or so they need to be laid. Depending on the size of the ghoul, a normal clutch is around 6-8 eggs. During reproduction, eggs are laid directly into the uterus via the tentacle where they implant into the lining to absorb the other parent’s genetic material. After a week or so the carrier lays them via the vagina and moves them to their pouch, where the eggs grow until they can survive mostly independent of the parent’s body heat and are moved to a nest. About half the eggs in a clutch survive to hatching. Once hatched, kits are carried around in the pouches of and chestfed by both parents.

On the surface, most water ghouls decide to choose a human gender presentation to settle into, though some prefer to stay as they are. Being suddenly introduced to this new system of labeling and presentation can cause a lot of distress for some ghouls. Dew in particular struggled a lot with gender before he decided on a masculine presentation.

Some ghouls can have two tentacles!! Sometimes this can come with two egg sacs and twice the amount of eggs, which tends to be very uncomfortable for the ghoul.

Since fertilized eggs can’t survive outside the body or pouch, to prevent unwanted kits, water ghouls will lay any fertilized eggs in the lake and leave them for the lake creatures to eat. The fish in the lake tend to be really big for this reason.
