Never perfect. It is fine.

[the-stove-is-divorced]

Time for my yearly (ish, kinda, sorta, maybe) time to ANNOUNCE THAT I FUCKING LOVE SCARLET SCARAB!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH.

Look at my son. His iconic palette swapped fit. His funky little scarab buddy. His cool ass name. He's my little fella, my good time boy, the best mf that has ever existed on the planet and that time-span was like one episode. IF SCARLET SCARAB HAS NO FANS THEN I AM FUCKING DEAD.

That is all ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

What story you would write for him - randomagnes0210.tumblr.com/701345413474729984/chris-you-inspired-me-and-i-didnt-know-i 👀

Holy fuuuck 😳🥵🥵

I'm sorry, my brain kinda short circuited. I need time to get it back to function. Damn. Wow. Okay.

that's a soft!dark Steve Rogers

An enforcer/mercenary Steve (maybe for mafia Bucky? idk), who can make things really bloody and still keep his slate clean of any evidence. From organizing a disposable group to do the dirty work, to a stealthy kill done by himself if needed.

He has a sleek beast of a bike, as well a bullet-fast camaro. There's always a weapon on him, even when he looks like he's there to chill only.

You don't see a gun? No glint of a knife? There's a garrote in the wristwatch, or in the beads he wears on his wrist. Not to mention the things he can do with his hands alone.

It's those hands that got you staring when you approached him with your little nephew at your side. The boy, being all moto crazy, couldn't stop tugging at your hand when he saw the Camaro. So you did what any good aunt would - you took his small hand in yours and approached a stranger, asking sweetly if he won't mind your nephew taking a closer look at the car.

Steve's eyes when they settled on you were cold and sharp like a blade. Almost made you take a step back. Then he glanced at the kid, who was staring at his car with pure awe, and back at you, his gaze softening.

"Sure thing, cherry."

His voice had a rich, raspy timbre, reminding you of how your own voice gets after a few good orgasms (which you gave yourself with the use of your toys, since your latest dates lacked in that area).

Steve's eyes shifted to your chest when he said that, a smirk curling the left corner of his mouth upwards. Your top had printed cherries on it. You found it cute when you bought it. Now you felt embarrassed wearing something so sweet it was almost childish.

You dropped your gaze, muttering a thank you.

You let out a breath of relief when Steve's eyes finally turned away from you. He bent over the hood again and your own gaze slid from his tight ass (you scolded yourself inwardly for even daring to look that way!) over the wide plain of his back to his hands.

Those damn hands that would be your undoing, you thought as you stared at them. Nimble and skilled fingers tinkering with something, a vine of dark ink starting atop his palm and curling upwards over the corded muscles of his forearms, to disappear in an array of color beneath the rolled up sleeves of his shirt.

You saw splashes of tattoos on his chest and reaching up to his neck. Your mind wandered through images of exploring hos the pattern looks over his back, his it moves over his ribs when he breathes.

If there are tattoos leading down his abdomen...

You were so lost in it, you didn't hear what Steve was saying, until you felt your nephew tug on your hand.

"Can we? Can we, please?!" The kid looked up at you with hopeful eyes.

"Um." You swallowed, uncertain of what exactly was asked of you. Feeling all the more embarrassed for it.

"Of course you can, buddy." Steve decided, not waiting for your brain to catch up with his proposition to take you both for a short ride in his car.

His smile was bright and charming, yet held a hint of predatory satisfaction. A cocky confidence you usually hated in men.

Steve's eyes held a mirthful glint as he caught your gaze, but also something dark that quickened your pulse.

"I'm sure your aunt craves a good ride, too."

You had to clench your thighs at the surge of heat that filled your belly and spread down, pooling in a small wet spot on your panties.

You should've said no. Your body may heat up for this tattooed, hot as sin stranger, but your instinct all but yelled at you to run away. There was something dangerous about him, in more than just sexy way.

But it's something you would find out much later.

Too late to run away from his possession, or to stop wanting him so badly.

If you only knew how lethal he was, you wouldn't say yes to getting a lift to your place after you dropped off your nephew at his parents.

You wouldn't follow Steve's raspy command and let him fuck you in the narrow space of his camaro - bruises from the steering wheel faint compared to the marks Steve's hands left on your thighs and around your neck.

If you suspected the dark web awaiting you, maybe you wouldn't like how he called you sweet cherry.

Maybe you wouldn't cream on his cock as he fucked you right outside of your apartment, in a dark corridor where any of your neighbors could walk, with his hand pressed over your mouth to muffle your screaming orgasm and hips snapping hard into you.

You wouldn't whisper a weak Yes, Steve when he told you where to meet him, scribbling down the address on a piece of paper and slipping it under the waistband of your ruined panties.

But you said yes to all of those things. You allowed Steve to do those dirty things to you. And you wanted more. Even if your instinct still alarmed of danger.

Ride 749: The last Straight Road*

(NdT.: same pun Kinaka always makes with his name and the word for straight road)

Pag 1

1: I....

3: Imaizumi-san!!

Good work!!

You were taking a long time for this lap

Pag 2

Replacement tubes, tire levers, and a pump. Use them

Pag 3

2: This is unusual!! I never thought Imaizumi-san was the attentive type – is it just for us!?

Yeah!! I thought first and second years were just not important to him....

Pag 11

2: Then why did Sugimoto-san and Danchiku-san race!?

4: I came here to give you a message from Sugimoto

Sohoku is a team that connect and support each other

3: Among the first years, those two are left, I look forward to see what they do!!

That's too much food

So, for that....

6: So I'm telling you not to cry!!

Pag 17

It's that your “Straitgh road”, wasn't fast at all....!!

Pag 18

2: You should have told me, teh

I didn't notice, teh!!

So, for my stuff where there's Motobolt and Onslaught/Silverbolt, I just think it's really fucking funny if Megatron doesn't know about any of this.

All of the other Decepticons do! It's great gossip, and Swindle has been taking bets on how this all is going to turn out. (Starscream has his money on Motormaster, because he has a very low opinion of the Aerialbots; Soundwave has his on "this won't be resolved for at least 20 years." Not sure about anyone else's bets.) (Swindle strongly suspects he's going to be paying out to Soundwave.)

They know about the Motobolt stuff first, because Motormaster is neither subtle nor trying to hide it. Nor are the Constructicons quiet about complaining when they have to fix him from when he and Silverbolt get really rough. But Moto isn't going to take a rival for ANYTHING, so the Ons/Bolt comes out sometime after Motormaster finds out about it.

Comparatively, very few Autobots know about Silverbolt's Decepticon boyfriends/fuck-buddies/whatever is going on there. Most of the ones who know also combine with him. The Aerialbots' attitude is: You're our brother, so we'll support and protect you from your own stupidity, just like you do for us, but wow, we don't want to know anything about this. Knowing their identities is bad enough.

(Prowl doesn't understand why Jazz and Ratchet keep putting Silverbolt and Hot Spot on joint missions/work shifts, but he'll take their word that it's a good idea.)

Debaser by D.S. & Durga: Midgar shuffle

…don’t know about you, but I am un CHIEN! Andalusien! --Black Francis

I picked up a number of samples by the indie perfumer D.S. & Durga, including “Steamed Rainbow,” “Deep Dark Vanilla,” “Pistachio,” and this one. Debaser is my favorite so far.

Online reviews are mixed. The famous and eloquent Kafkaesque likes this, but argues an incongruity in its name; while Debaser cites the 1989 Pixies tune, the Black Francis screech is nowhere to be found in this pleasant, fig-based fragrance, powdered with a little iris, warmed up with tonka and coconut, sweetened with pear, and something slightly spicy and woody underneath. Other reviewers have taken up this theme, confused by the edgy name, complaining, even, about false advertising. Many allusions to green accords, garden wanders, fresh meadows, and so forth; all the traditional imagery of the mainstream mind as it seeks an exit from the ordinary.

I smell these described notes, certainly—the milky fig, the coconut, not too sweet but very present; the bassy tonka, the blonde wood, the iris and the moss all cutting through the lactones and preventing them from getting insipid.

But I am not transported to a bosky grove or dew-laden meadow: this fragrance is no portal to Narnia.

It's a little like one of those reversible pictures--a goose one way, an old lady another; if you focus too much on the fig and all its lacy green assumptions, you miss the city.

Because the thing is I get a very specific hit of leather jacket—no, vinyl… no, leather after all, a biker jacket, nice and bulky, the kind you wear as armor for the subway. The jacket you wear as you stand in the corner of the mechanics’ garage when your moto goes tits-up. The one you have on as you chew on a pear-flavored hard candy, lounging, inconspicuous, waiting for that guy on your docket--the dumb one, the weak link--to come out of the liquor store and lead you to your real quarry.

The one you wear when even the rain feels dirty.

The longer I had Debaser on, the more the affect crystallized: it’s Midgar, buddy. If this name means nothing to you, don’t worry. Just drop in the degraded urban environment of your choice, but fill it with the joy and optimism peculiar to that space, the joy of catching the last train, the joy of spicy red oil noodles, the joy of sarcastic jokes with your partner in crime.

For friends of mine who know where Midgar is—thus what I mean by citing it—I should warn you that depending on your skin chemistry, you may have to traverse an astonishing amount of coconut before the leather jacket, the train, the slanting light all come out to play. You may also find the pear alienating. Me, I like it; it’s artificial, but it’s not pretending. You keep the little tin of those little pear-flavored jewels in the pocket of that leather jacket and you watch the sun track across the hoardings as you listen to the buskers, taking your time.

It’s a good day.

Terrible Screenplay Idea: "Origami Tattoo"

"Origami Tattoo" are an up and coming rock band, formed of lead singer Chad Bolivar, bass player Wendy Frost, guitarist Ignatius Van Pelt, and drummer Sakura Moto.

All four are also mages of varying talent and skill levels: Chad tries his hand at a bit of everything but focuses on summoning and portals, Wendy is great at healing and manipulation of various stuff, Ignatius has doubled down on mastering fire magic as it "looks cool as fuck", and Sakura has studied so much magic she's actually confident and competent.

Their chance at glory lies only in The Battle of the Bands in Vegas! Not only is there a record contract and immense fame awaiting them, but there is a $20,000 cash prize for the winner!

They have three days to get there, but no petrol in their van, and even lower morale.

Complicating matters is the news that long term rival jazz band "The Sax Pistols" are on their way to the contest, Chad is going to be kicked out of the college of mages, Wendy is possibly pregnant, Ignatius' fire based magic is all he is good at, and Sakura's visa is about to expire. EVEN WORSE! They are skint, and an evil portal of anti-creation is in their path and can only be stopped by the combined efforts of this ragtag group of mages!

Will they save the world, make it to the contest, and emerge triumphant in the battle of the bands?!

Find out in this road trip, buddy cop adventure musical mystery tour!

Love this. Years ago, my buddy and I joked that Pegasus was Yugi Moto's father.

As you may know, the Duelists of the Roses features Mai being Atem's mother and Pegasus being his stepfather😂😭 Our Yugi-boy may need some time to cope with the "your mom calls me daddy too" syndrome💀💀

[intothetlkverse]

Decided to challenge myself by drawing every single TLK character out there, up until this point in time, and post it here. You can see the finished project on my main account, though I figured to post it on my tumblr just show I could proudly show off my work and a few of my head canons.

Here's all the gorillas/apes across TLK:

Starting off with the TLG's very own mountain gorillas we have King Sokwe(ape) of the Theluji Mountains and his two sons, Hafifu(mediocre/trifling) and Majinuni(clown). An example of non-lion royalty/kingdoms, the Theluji mountains are actually home to two leaders, gorillas and lions. King Nyundo leads the Theluji pride one one of the smaller peaks, bordering on a volcanic mountain while Sokwe's troop is stationed mostly on the largest and tallest mountain. Although we do see Sokwe present in a cave near the snowy top, he and his troop mostly live further down in the misty forest banks where food is more readily available. King Sokwe maintains a powerful and imposing front, but underneath he is quite jovial, humorous, and kind, something he hopes to be able to set a good standard for his sons. While he does encourage them to play, build muscles and explore the world, he was hoping that his recent mission of sending them to deliver a message to the Pridelands would help give them a more sturdy, mature outlook, something he was pleased with in the end. Sokwe is a wise and warm king with a steady grasp and firm lead of his troop, one that will last for many more years before he eventually retires and allow whichever son to succeed him. He also was one of the first kingdoms to reform an alliance with the Pridelands after Simba's ascension, an event in which  Simba was introduced to the customary tradition, a test of first courage and next of character. He is someone who values actions, or in this case reactions, over words, seeing how those react in the moment can be very telling how they will act in the future.

Next to him and his boys is Shujaa(fighter), Sokwe's younger cousin. In spite of Shujaa's immense towering size, strength, and knack of destruction, due to a form of giganticism, he is very loyal and friendly with his cousin with little idea of any possibility of overthrowing Sokwe's position. Though Shujaa says Sokwe sent him down to help against the Outlander attacks, in truth Sokwe was also hoping the Guard would help teach Shujaa how to be more mindful and constructive with his strength and power. Admittedly I did reference Kerchak a lot for the pose/teeth, because gorillas are really freaking scary. Sure the gorillas of TLK, for the most part, are gentle giants, and Shujaa is a very nice guy with just a lot of power, though he does also have a lot of fear factor to him.

From "Simba Meets Silverback" we have Silverback/Mgongo(back/spine) and his son Ndizi(banana). Simba saves his son from a leopard, who just so happens to be Makucha's mother, though accidently knocks Ndizi down a gully before going down and helping him. He was one of the first gorillas to have a positive perspective on before king Sokwe, as some of the other apes he had encountered were not good.

Speaking of which, we have Mortolo/Moto(fire) from "The Great Drought" and Kumpel/Kuungua(burning) from "Save Nala". These two are part of the same group of delinquent juvenile gorillas, roaming together with their third friend in the hopes of finding a territory to settle in. And what better territory then the Pridelands... minus the lions. In order to push them out, Moto came up with a plan to further the devastation of a drought in the Pridelands by blocking off one of the rivers, trying to force the lions to leave before sweeping in, returning the water, and claiming the land for themselves, though a then cub Simba intervened by causing a rockslide to drive him and his two buddies away and break apart the dam, restoring the river and lake. After that, Kuungua suggested another plan to overtake the Pridelands by kidnapping Simba, though they all get caught up in a small rockslide and mistakenly believe he died. They then kidnapped Nala, hoping to use her to lure Mufasa for an ambush, however Simba appeared and the gorillas, mistaking him for a vengeful ghost, fled. The three have not been seen since, though being the first interaction with a gorilla, Simba has been slightly fearful of them, at least until meeting and befriending both Mgongo and Sokwe. I decided to merge the two trios of villainous gorillas, though kept Moto and Kuungua's colors from each story. I was looking up albino/leucistic gorillas, and the only albino gorilla Snowflake seemed to still keep a yellowish/gold color in his fur, so Moto is partially leucistic, hence the brownish coloring.

For the only female on this list, both surprisingly and disappointingly, we have Mother Gorilla/Vinyo(wines) from T&P Show's episode "Truth or Zaire", voiced by Jim Cummings. A female gorilla with a heavy case of empty nest syndrome, she tried for a time to mother Timon and Pumbaa before the situation got too tense and weird that they ran away. For a bra, earring, and lipstick-wearing gorilla, I think I did a good job translating her appearance here. Still gets a little color to her lips, the earring becomes a flower, and I'm throwing away the bra and showing you what mother gorilla titties look like... don't like it, bring it up with nature's manager. Also I gave her the name because for some reason I could see her drowning her sorrows with fermented fruits like marula, cause how else do you see a full grown warthog and meerkat and assume them as babies... then again we humans do the same to our pets, so who am I to judge?

Giant ape/Nguzo(pillar) from "The Lost City of Gonzolanga". A gorilla among chimpanzees, he was raised by them and their leader lead ape/Uamuzi(determination)yet was tricked by Wizard/Waziri(minister) that they never accepted him and that he was his only friend, so he became his puppet and became his enforcer until Timon And Pumbaa helped him realize what he was doing and that he actually was cared for by the rest of the troop. Wajibu ends up being crushed by and ends up with such a nasty hit to the skull that it completely changes his personality, as well as puts him in a constant state of confusion. The troop decides to take him in out of pity, though still keep an eye on him.

Now before you get on me about how Wizard and Lead ape are actually monkeys and that if I am including monkeys then I should do all of them, let me explain. For one, aside from gorillas, we really don't have much else in terms of apes(i.e. no bonobos or chimps, etc). Two, apes and monkeys, though closely related, are different, notably the lack of tails on the former. Also the leader of the troop is literally called lead ape and we never see him with a tail, so I'm retroactively turning him, wizard, and the rest of the troop into chimps. Plus they also reside in what's probably old human/watu ruins, and chimps are one of our closest relatives in terms of sharing similar DNA, so... yeah, chimps/apes.

To wrap this up, I'm including the chimp we see from TLG's "Can't Wait to be Queen" song "Duties of the King", a bit disappointing that he's the only one we see. His name is Fisofi(philosophy-Xhosa), they're soft-spoken fella with a thirst for both knowledge and sweet sweet fruits. For some reason I see chimps as bit uncommon for the Pridelands and other territories, and that they sometimes have an air of mystery or peculiarity about them, though Fisofi here is a friendly guy.

Saturday, October 5, 2024 - My Legs!

I didn't log yesterday, and that's okay. Every time I try to start something like this, a journal/blog/daily activity, I get too stressed out about missing a day. When I do, I get freaked out about it and abandon the whole thing. Not this time, buddy! I'm just gonna keep going, it's unrealistic to log every day and that's okay. Yesterday, we finally had our NBB final. I started the day with a ride on the stationary, it was pretty tough on the legs I'm not gonna lie. We got to the study room, an Alex was on about all of us going to hell. I immediately put that to a halt when Ashley wanted to get that conversation fired up & I wasn't doing that right before the exam. The exam itself was fine, I made some silly mistakes, but I'm like 99% sure I passed the class with an A. I sat with Drea as usual, I'm pretty sure she is always looking at other people's screens cause I see her eyes go up and down all the time hahaha. Not my problem though. After the exam some of us went to TruLand for some pretty mid burgers, then I went to a sip & suture meeting to meet Cooper. It was at Barrio brewery, which was pretty fun. We practice oesophagostomy tubes on dogs made of socks. Coop & I left to go to Moto Sonora brewery to catch up with each other. We talked about Nathan, about my struggles, and his life and all that jazz. I wanted to see Nathan after I dropped Cooper off, but it was getting late. Today, I did a long ride & stopped by the farmer's market to get a burrito. Not only did I get one of the best breakfast burritos ever, I got a lovely salt bagel with cream cheese. I will be doing that again. I got home and took a faaaat nap. I got some chores done and started on some homework for Sum of the parts, I'm scared for that class. I took Ashley's costco card (she's gone for some shelter club thing) and got some groceries for the week. Maddie wanted to go play pickleball so I decided to get some miles in and run to the court, the run back was dark and too long, I actually didn't like it. I'm sitting on the couch now watching some Steven Universe & about to go to bed now.

I'm getting breakfast with Natey tomorrow, wish me luck.
