[stuartsspot]

URGH I loved your tags under my post! Do you have any more t4t Murdoc/2D headcanons you want to share? I'd be interested now!

OMGG tysm !!! <3 ofc ofc i love talking about t4t 2doc

here are some trans hcs for the two of them :3

Murdoc has bottom surgery, and got it done before gorillaz formed (but AFTER the burning sensations poster was made, where you can clearly see his packer; so between 94’ and 97’)

Murdoc however DOESNT have top surgery, and kept his natural chest

2D is the opposite, he hasn’t had bottom surgery and doesnt plan to

2D however HAS had top surgery, and got it using his earnings from the first album sometime between phases 1 and 2 (which is why he’s shirtless in the dirty harry mv, cause he can show off his flat chest finally!)

The women who claim 2D got them pregnant are scamming him, but he pays the child support anyways (partly so he won’t be outted, and partly because he has enough money to do so)

Murdoc helps 2D inject his T since 2D isnt the biggest fan of needles, and only has steady hands when playing the piano

2D came out to Murdoc in early phase 1 when they first moved in together, to which Murdoc replied “I know, I took care of your comatose body faceache, who do you think kept giving you your t-shots?” and then added on “btw me too” like its nothing

Murdoc stole the money for his operation (duh) and has been on T since he was 15 (lord knows how he got it, but i know he has his ways)

Hannibal and Murdoc aren’t on good terms by any means, but he still respects his brother’s gender identity

Murdoc’s dad, however, is not supportive (his coming out was a large part of why he first left home)

Rachel Pot was confused at first but learned to accept it, and as a nurse did what she could to support him (getting him T AND painkillers woo hooo)

David Pot took longer to understand, but eventually was just happy to have a son to bond over sports and electronic instruments with

Murdoc and 2D both being trans played a big role in why they bonded and got attached to each other so fast, because even though theyre different in a lot of ways, theyre also crazy similar too

lmk if yall have any other hcs !!! id love to hear them

thanks again leo for sending in that ask <33

Packers' Way no longer working

The Green Bay Packers have been one of the NFL’s most winningest franchises since the day Brett Favre stepped foot on the premises in 1992. Thanks in large part to having a franchise quarterback at the helm the Packers are perennial playoff contenders. They have won two Super Bowls and been to a handful of NFC Championship games. And they have done it by drafting and developing, a.k.a., The Packers’ Way.

For a long-suffering fan base prior to 1992, any kind of winning was welcome. Just having an above .500 record was cause for jubilation. But now, being 15 years since the Packers last Super Bowl win, in my opinion, the shine has worn off. Just having a winning season is not a successful season to me. Packers’ general manager Brian Gutekunst said in his post-season press conference that it’s time the Packers start competing for championships. If only his actions matched his words.

The Packers’ Way has always revolved around draft and develop. Use the NFL Draft to fill your roster with young players on rookie contracts. Hopefully you get a few you can sign to second contracts but rarely will there be a third. This way, if you draft well, it can keep you competitive every year as long as you have a QB. But as is becoming abundantly clear in today’s NFL, you have to go all in to get a ring. The Packers simply refuse to do that.

Even when the Packers have money to spend, they will only make one or two moves that make a splash in the headlines but don’t get the Packers over the hump. Last offseason the Packers signed two veterans in free agency but still had the youngest team in the league for the second straight year. You are simply not going to win a Super Bowl with the youngest team in the league. The Packers should follow the Los Angeles Rams game plan for going all-in.

While the Chiefs go after their third straight Super Bowl, Packers fans are stuck on their sofas instead of being in New Orleans. They will have to settle for picking their fantasy teams, playing NFL-themed games, and dabbling in some betting after looking at the latest Super Bowl odds, but there will be a renewed sense of optimism soon with free agency right around the corner.

The risk is minimal these days

The Rams went all-in in 2021 and won a Super Bowl. They gave up draft picks in blockbuster trades, signed free agent after free agent and it paid off. Yeah, they went 5-12 the next year but who cares? They were back in the playoffs in 2023 and again this year. It’s not hard to turn things around in this league if you know what you are doing. If Gutey went all-in and the Packers won a Super Bowl I’m more than confident he could rebuild them again.

The bottom line is sacrifices have to be made if you want to win a Super Bowl. Anybody can be good and make the playoffs every year. But as the Packers showed last year, they were no threat to go anywhere in the playoffs. Packers’ running back Josh Jacobs made waves today by saying what I have been saying for most of the year, the Packers need a true, proven number one receiver. While he apparently rattled the nerves of Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks, it is the absolute truth. If Gutey doesn’t trade for or sign a free agent to address that position the Packers won’t be going anywhere next year, either.

And that would be a shame, as they will likely lose defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to a head coaching job after the season. The Packers finally have a defense, but now they don’t have an offense. It’s bizarro world in Green Bay. But it doesn’t have to be. The Packers two biggest needs are receiver and edge rusher. There are players out there that can help them get over the hump. It’s time to quit worrying about the future so much and start trying to win a damn Super Bowl again.

I’m not going to hold my breath. Like the “we need to be in the middle of the pack” excuse for raising ticket prices every year, it’s usually the same old song and dance every offseason. The same canned answers to every question. And of course the customary “we’ll be in every conversation” adage. The Packers have won a lot of games over the last 32 years, but only two that count.

A not-so-in-depth look at the NFL divisions

By: Joseph Correa

A not-so-in-depth look at the NFL divisions…

It’s almost September; The air is thick with the aroma of sizzling brats and the sound of beer cans cracking open. You slip on your lucky jersey, the one with the ketchup stain from last year's nail-biter, and head out to meet your buddies for the season opener. This, my friends, is the magic of NFL kickoff.

As I dive headfirst into the 2024 season, let's journey through the NFL's eight divisions. Every team has a story from the titans of the gridiron to the underdogs nipping at their heels. So, grab your foam finger and settle in; we're about to break down the upcoming season in all its glory, heartbreak, and inevitable chaos.

AFC North: Where Legends Are Forged

If the AFC North were a person, it'd be that grizzled old-timer at the bar who's seen it all and has the scars to prove it. This division isn't just competitive; it's downright brutal.

Last year, all four teams finished with winning records – a feat unseen since bell-bottoms were unironically cool (that's 1970, for you youngsters). HBO's "Hard Knocks: In Season" couldn't resist the siren call of this division's drama. I mean, who could?

Let's start with the Baltimore Ravens, last year's AFC top seed. They've lost more defensive coaches than most teams have in total. But in Baltimore, that's Tuesday. John Harbaugh probably woke up, saw the exodus, shrugged, and went back to his coffee. That's just how they roll.

Then there's Cleveland. Ah, Cleveland. The Browns are all-in on Deshaun Watson like a gambler doubling down on a hard 16. Will 2024 be the year this high-stakes bet pays off, or will Browns fans be left drowning their sorrows in Great Lakes beer... again?

Don't forget Cincinnati. They're banking on a healthy Joe Burrow like he's the second coming of Joe Montana. If his throwing arm is as golden as his hair, the Bengals might just remind everyone why they were Super Bowl darlings not so long ago.

And Pittsburgh? Mike Tomlin's been there so long that he probably has his own parking spot at Heinz Field. Now he's taking on the Russell Wilson reclamation project. It's like watching a master chef try to turn a McDonald's burger into filet mignon. Can he pull it off? In this division, anything's possible.

Buckle up, folks. This 18-week slugfest is going to leave us all black and blue – and loving every minute of it.

NFC North: The Tides of Change

Remember when the NFC North was as predictable as a Wisconsin cheese curd tasting delicious? Those days are as gone as Brett Favre's Packers jersey.

The Detroit Lions, long the NFL's favorite punching bag, have suddenly grown teeth. Their journey from "lovable losers" to "holy cow, they might actually win something" feels like it was ripped straight from a Disney sports movie. The real question is: can Dan Campbell's knee-biting, coffee-chugging energy translate into sustained success, or will the Lions pull a Detroit and... well, Lion?

But don't write off the Packers just yet. Jordan Love spent three years marinating on the bench behind Aaron Rodgers. Now he's serving up wins like a short-order cook on a Sunday morning rush. This youth movement in Green Bay has Cheeseheads dreaming of another decade of dominance. It's as exciting as it is terrifying for the rest of the division.

Chicago Bears fans, I see you. I know you've been hurt before. But Caleb Williams might just be the real deal. He could be the franchise quarterback you've been waiting for since. Well, has Chicago ever had a truly great quarterback? This could be the year the Monsters of the Midway finally have some teeth on offense.

And the Vikings? They're in quarterback purgatory faster than you can say "J.J. McCarthy's meniscus." But hey, in the NFL, today's backup is tomorrow's MVP. Just ask Kurt Warner. Or Tom Brady. Or... you get the point.

AFC East: The King Is Dead, Long Live... Who, Exactly?

Pour one out for the New England Patriots dynasty, folks. We spent two decades penciling them in as division champs, and now the only sure bet is that they won't win it. It's like watching your high school bully become the guy who can't open pickle jars.

Now we've got a three-way dance between the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills that's wilder than a Buffalo tailgate party.

The Jets are the media darlings with a healthy Aaron Rodgers. But let's be real – this is a franchise so cursed, they could probably find a way to lose a bye week. If there's a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, the Jets will find it. It's their superpower.

Miami's been flirting with success like a commitment-phobe on Tinder. Back-to-back playoff appearances are nice, but in the land Don Shula built, "almost" is just a fancy word for "not good enough." This could be the year they finally swipe right on a division title... or get left on read again.

And then there's Buffalo. They've shed more big names than a Hollywood rehab center, but counting out a team led by Josh Allen feels like betting against gravity. The man could probably throw a football over them mountains, as Uncle Rico would say.

This division is a powder keg of potential, ready to explode. Just don't stand too close when it does.

NFC East: America's (Drama) Team(s)

If the NFC East were a TV show, it'd be a soap opera with occasional football scenes. It's got more drama than a Real Housewives reunion and just as many unexpected twists.

The Eagles took a nosedive last season faster than a Philly fan's mood after a loss. But they seem poised for a comeback. In Philly, hope springs eternal... until about Week 3.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, Jerry Jones has put everyone on notice. The Cowboys are under more pressure than a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. It's "win now or... win now" in Big D.

The Giants are hoping Daniel Jones can justify his contract like I justify eating an entire pizza by myself – with a lot of mental gymnastics and a dash of blind optimism.

And then there's Washington, the wild card with a new QB (Jayden Daniels) and a new sheriff in town (Dan Quinn). They're like that mystery flavor of potato chip – could be delicious, could be disaster.

On paper, it's a two-horse race. But in the NFC East, paper is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

AFC South: Revenge of the Nerds, NFL Edition

Remember when we all thought the AFC South would be the NFL's punching bag in 2023? The Houston Texans looked at that prediction, said "Hold my beer," and proceeded to shock the world harder than a wet finger in an electrical socket.

DeMeco Ryans, C.J. Stroud, and company didn't just win the division; they made a statement in the playoffs louder than a Texan saying "y'all." Now, with additions like Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon, Houston looks ready to build an empire faster than you can say "Remember the Alamo."

But don't count out the Jaguars. They're surely still stinging from last year's late-season collapse harder than a sunburn on a Florida beach. Trevor Lawrence and crew are out to prove that last year was the fluke, not the year before.

The Colts proved they could compete even without a star quarterback, which, in the modern NFL, is like trying to win a drag race in a golf cart. Impressive, if nothing else.

And Tennessee? New coach Brian Callahan might be the breath of fresh air they needed. Or he might be the air freshener trying to cover up last year's stink. Only time will tell.

NFC West: The 49ers and Their Supporting Cast

The 49ers have ruled this division with an iron fist for two years. They're like that one kid in school who's good at everything – you want to hate them, but damn, they make it look easy.

They're favorites to three-peat, but the rest of the division isn't exactly rolling over. The Rams bounced back last year like a rubber ball dropped from the top of the Hollywood sign. They've only gotten stronger, which should terrify everyone not wearing red and gold.

Seattle's hoping defensive guru Mike Macdonald can work more magic than Houdini. If he can make their defense disappear and reappear as a top unit, the Seahawks might just swoop in for the upset.

And don't sleep on Arizona. Kyler Murray's back, hopefully with a renewed focus on the playbook instead of Call of Duty. Add in explosive rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., and suddenly, the Cardinals look less like sacrificial birds and more like phoenixes rising from the ashes.

It might be San Francisco's division to lose, but don't be shocked if this becomes the most entertaining division in football. It's like a sitcom where the straight man is surrounded by chaos – and I'm here for it.

AFC West: Living in the Chiefs' Shadow

When you share a division with the Chiefs, life isn't just hard – it's like trying to run a marathon while carrying Patrick Mahomes on your back. Just ask the Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos how that feels.

Kansas City might not have cruised to the playoffs last year, but betting against them feels like playing Russian roulette with five loaded chambers. At this point, the Chiefs don't rebuild; they reload.

But here's the million-dollar question: can anyone challenge the ketchup king's throne?

Sean Payton's cooking something in Denver, and it smells a lot like hope... or maybe that's just the altitude. Antonio Pierce brings fresh energy to Las Vegas, turning the Raiders from a punchline into a potential contender.

And the Chargers? They've got Jim Harbaugh now. If anyone can exorcise the Chargers' demons, it's the khaki-wearing, milk-chugging quarterback whisperer himself.

The AFC West might not be the powerhouse it was hyped to be a couple of years ago, but calling it boring would be like calling Chiefs fans "kind of into football." That's a massive understatement.

NFC South: The Island of Misfit Teams

If you're looking for parity, you've come to the wrong place. The NFC South has become a testament to mediocrity, the participation trophy of NFL divisions.

Tampa Bay won the division in 2023 with a 9-8 record. That's like being the tallest kid in kindergarten – sure, you're at the top, but the competition isn't exactly fierce. And this was an improvement over their 8-9 division-winning record in 2022. At this rate, they might break .500 by 2025!

But don't despair, NFC South fans. There's hope on the horizon, and it's wearing red and black.

Atlanta's gone on a spending spree that would make a lottery winner blush. They've brought in Kirk Cousins, Matthew Judon, and Justin Simmons. It's like they're playing real-life Madden with the salary cap turned off.

New Orleans is rebooting its offense like a 90s sitcom getting a gritty modern remake. Will it work? Who knows, but it'll be fun to watch.

And Carolina... oh, Carolina. They've got nowhere to go but up under new coach Dave Canales. When your previous season is a dumpster fire, even a tire fire looks like progress.

It's a division of second chances and redemption stories. Who doesn't love a good comeback tale? Well, maybe fans of the other 28 teams, but who's counting?

In Conclusion: Buckle Up, Buttercup

From the gladiatorial arena of the AFC North to the redemption-seeking NFC South, the 2024 NFL season promises more twists and turns than a pretzel factory. We're in for a rollercoaster of emotions, breakout performances, and upsets so shocking they'll make your grandfather's dentures fall out.

Whether you're a die-hard fan who paints your face every Sunday or a casual observer who just likes to watch large men run into each other, there's a storyline here for everyone.

So grab your jersey (yes, even you, Jets fans), fire up the grill, and settle in. The next five months are going to be one hell of a ride. After all, in the NFL, the only certainty is uncertainty – and that's precisely why we can't look away.

15, 25, 36, 50, 68, 74, 81, 86, 87, 100 (sending ur list right back atcha since it was so fun >:3)

Yippee!!

15: Favorite song

Hm. This changes a lot but right now probably “All Caps” by MF DOOM

25: What color socks are you wearing?

I actually haven’t been wearing socks today since I haven’t had to go in public yet, but I was planning on wearing either my yellow rooster socks or my purple and grey striped socks when I go to marching band practice later.

36: What’s your favorite clean word?

This one also changes a lot. One I always enjoy is eviscerate. Right now maybe squorbles. Which I made up

50: Are you left or right handed?

I’m right handed! Interestingly enough when I play marimba a often play with left hand lead just because it’s easier to play ascending runs that way, but when I play snare or other drums I usually play right hand lead.

68: What’s your favorite school subject?

Definitely science!! In particular chemistry, since I took it last year and I’m going to take AP chemistry this year which I’m excited about

74: Are you ticklish?

I was really ticklish when I was younger and now not as much, but I will still react strongly if you try to tickle me ajdhsjf

81: Can you roll your Rs?

Yes, sorta clunkily but yeah

86: What are you allergic to?

Nothing as far as I’m aware. I did get a rash from a sweater of mine once but that never happened again

87: Do you keep a journal?

Sort of, but not particularly regularly. I used to write a brief thought in a journal every morning after I woke up and every evening before falling asleep, but I stopped doing that a while ago. I also used to journal my dreams during lockdown but haven’t in years. Something I do sorta keep up with is writing random lists and other stuff in this one journal. It’s sort of like a journal/scrapbook hybrid thingy

100: What color is your room?

It’s a nice warm yellow color for the most part, with a little dark green. The original idea was to paint the green to look like a meadow but we never got around to that so it just looks like I’m a massive green bay packers fan XD

Thank you so much for the ask!!!

Love and patience win over Packers

After sitting behind Aaron Rodgers for three seasons, Jordan Love is proof that it's okay to allow young quarterbacks to develop as they learn to navigate the waters of playing and starting in the NFL When the Packers moved on from Aaron Rodgers this offseason, it appeared they would be entering their first true rebuild since the early nineties. After sneaking into the postseason and dismantling the Cowboys in the wild-card round, Green Bay skipped the rebuild and looks to be set for at least the next decade. There used to be a time when NFL franchises would draft a promising quarterback and let them develop for several years before giving them the keys to the offense. Now, it is viewed as a wasted season if top picks are not immediately thrust into game action.

ARLINGTON, TX - JANUARY 14: Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) looks for an open receiver during the NFC Wild Card game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers on January 14, 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire) “Jordan Love, wow, that is about all I can say is wow,” said Matt LaFleur after his quarterback posted a nearly perfect quarterback rating in his playoff debut. Love had the benefit of sitting behind a future first-ballot Hall of Famer in Rodgers, for three years before taking the reins, which happens to be the same number of years his mentor sat behind Brett Favre. The process in Green Bay is much different from the rest of the league when it comes to their young quarterbacks, and it might be time for other organizations to take note. Time and time again, we see a general manager draft a quarterback in the first round just to move on from them the following season. Transitioning from college to the professional level is difficult, and adjusting takes a while, especially at that position. Love’s lone start before this year took place in 2021 when he posted an ugly 69.5 passer rating against the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, he was not even close to the player he is now. “It is not easy; there is a lot of work that goes on in the background. Throughout the whole week, the process, coach is giving us the plan, studying the plan, understanding what the defense is going to do,” said Love. “It is definitely not easy, but it has been easier as the season has gone on just getting into that flow and understanding that rhythm.” Showing poise in the playoffs. ????#GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/9OF2RUd6Gu— Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 17, 2024 Love has been the best thrower of the football in the NFL during the second half of the season with 21 touchdowns and one interception over his past nine games. His play has made general manager Brian Gutekunst look like a genius while simultaneously helping cheese heads get over their former MVP. “He is playing outstanding, but he is in his first year starting. As well as he is playing, can we not crown him right now for his own sake,” Rodgers said. Rodgers. “I love Jordan, and I think he is going to be a great player for a long time, but can we let him play his career?” If Green Bay and their new quarterback can pull off another upset victory over the 49ers, we will have no choice but to crown him. The Packers organization and fan base have to love where they are at, and it is all thanks to drafting their franchise quarterback several years before they had any intention of starting him.

I guess it's time to tell the Manowar fudge story again, since it's that time of year and "Manowar" has just announced they're gonna do one show in NYC and people are coming at me like i should want to go to that, so let's start back in 1999 this time.

It's always hard to know where I should start any Manowar story since they can really all go back to even before I liked the band growing up in the same area and hanging out underage in the bar where they played all their hometown shows hearing warnings about Joey and not knowing anything about anything yet.

But this one I will start with the end. Or rather the first end in 1999, when i quit my job working for the band after they'd hired me because my internet fan-site was basically better than anything they had. I'd already done the work organizing the fans. They knew me and i knew them and we all came together to pass along information and tour dates and news. The band recognized they weren't doing it as well and that's how i ended up working for them properly but it didn't last long, without specifics, my idea of what my job should be was different than Joey's so i packed up, went back home and retired completely from Manowar life for five years until one day in 2004 someone messaged me, "Have you seen the fudge?? 😂😂😂" with a link to an article.

Manowar had decided it would be a nice perk for the holidays to offer a big-ass block of fudge with a Manowar logo stamped on it that ships free with any order over $150 from their online store as a Black Friday promotion.

Seems innocent enough till you read the comments which essentially are an endless string of people saying things like "I always knew they were fudge-packers." "Manowar is packing fudge!"

Blabbermouth ran a hilarious totally-straight-faced article titled "Manowar packs fudge, photo available" which was so expertly written that it included the true information that "Manowar are #2 on the German charts, right behind Eminiem."

I just howled with laughter. How is this band so good at being ambiguously gay when they really aren't trying at all??

I went to bed that night laughing about it and I woke up in the morning still laughing about it. The Manowar fans kept sending it to me and it made me laugh every single time. Meanwhile I'm reconnecting with everyone and remembering that I like these people. and I put on the records and remembered I like these songs and I came back out of retirement. Joey was happy to have me back until neither of us were happy anymore.

It didn't last long before all the same old problems resurfaced so i was gone again but for a minute there Manowar was fun and awesome and packing fudge, photo available and i was into it again.

In 2005, I went to a Brain Surgeons show to meet Ross The Boss as my last-ever act of Manowar-fandom. I shook his hand and let him know that i know he's the reason Manowar was great and that anything they do without him is some bullshit. I had every intention of walking away into the sunset forever, but he liked hearing that and wanted to know more about me. I told him my story how I had one of the first Manowar sites on the internet and the band hired me becuase i was doing it better than they were but working for Joey wasn't for me. He found that relatable and jokingly said, "That'd be funny if you started working for me." and so I did.

So here we are 18 years after I started working for Ross, 23 years after I quit working for Manowar the first time. I've seen how they treat Ross over the years. Deleting posts about him on their message boards, re-recording his records with other guitar players, doing everything possible to minimize his contribution to the band and not give him the credit he deserves. When Ross was in Manowar, they put out huge amounts of amazing songs and when Ross wasn't in the band they struggled to put out anything. All they do now is re-record Ross' songs.

So they announce this one US show the other day after years of not playing the USA because they stopped doing US shows because their egos are too big to do all that traveling and playing small venues for small prices to the people who are actually their fans when they sit home and play occassionally for festival money or play Germany where for some reason people seem to actually like their really crappy post-Ross songs.

And they get Michael Angelo Batio in the band like that makes any sense at all and announce one show in Brooklyn and people keep messaging me wanting me to be excited about this show which I'm guessing will cost a billion dollars for tickets to watch this guitar player who is all wrong for it, play Ross' solos in some way that doesn't make sense to me.

They don't seem to understand why I would have no interest in seeing a slow old downtuned scab Manowar. Joey would almost certainly throw me out if he saw me there anyway. Last I knew he did not speak my name. Which im pretty proud of honestly.

Yeah i know i still go by DawnOwaR. That's my identity. I forged it myself over many decades and they can't take it away from me. But this version of Manowar is a cover band. There's better Manowar cover bands out there. Ross' one for example. I'm sure I'm biased. I was always biased. I got my job working for Ross because I was biased, but there is no Manowar without them all together.

RIP Scott Columbus.

So no, i'm not going to see Manowar in NY. No I'm not excited about it. No i don't think anyone should waste their time and money on that.

The fudge story is still funny tho.

[nothorses]

The people have spoken.

You will need:

Underwear to be converted (I am using boxer briefs in this tutorial, but this should work on any "men's" underwear!)

Sacrificial underwear (these do not need to be "men's")

Scissors

Thread

Either a needle or a sewing machine

Pins or basting glue/some kind of temporary fabric glue

OPTIONAL: Seam ripper

My sewing skills are pretty beginner-level, but if you've never sewn before, this is a modified version of the idea from this video, which explains hand-sewing as well! imo this is simple enough (and similar enough) that you can probably attempt this tutorial after you watch that one.

What we're going for is a pouch in the front of the underwear, using the shape of the crotch they already have. This is a pair I made with fabric that matches it exactly (turned inside-out so you can see the pocket):

For this tutorial, I chose a sacrificial pair that contrasts a little bit, just so yall can see what I'm doing.

I'm converting the underwear on the left into packing underwear. I've chosen a sacrificial pair that I think I can match nicely to them, plus some thread that matches them both. You truly do not need to be this picky about it.

First, I'm going to deconstruct my sacrificial pair:

Cut along the yellow lines to separate out the crotch, elastic waistband, and the butt. (I cut on the outside of the seams here, so the seams were removed with the crotch.)

We're gonna get rid of the crotch, because it's cup-shaped & won't lie flat. The butt fabric will be perfect for that!

But first: the waistband.

This is the part that makes this design work so well! Let's remove some excess fabric from the waistband that my scissors couldn't get with the seam ripper (this is optional)

You want about 6'' of the waistband to form a strap, which will hold your packer in place inside the pouch.

My packer is a Mr. Limpy, which works well with these harnesses. This should also work with some packers that don't have balls- esp sock packers- but if you use the soft cup-shaped packers, I might be concerned about the strap compressing them. Whether you fiddle with the design, or just leave the strap out altogether, is up to you!

I played around with mine and found that it worked best to place the strap about 3'' up from the bottom of the crotch, but this may be different on your body & with your packer. Once you figure out placement, you're going to:

Turn your underwear inside-out

Measure & place your elastic strap (I like to go 3'' above the bottom seam of the crotch) (It's important that your elastic is longer than your crotch is wide!)

And pin.

(Make sure you do not pin your crotch to your ass.)

Now, you're going to place the butt fabric from your sacrificial underwear so that it covers the entire crotch, leaving maybe a quarter inch or so of room from the waistband. I also recommend placing one of the hemmed edges from the leg holes at the top here, so you don't need to hem it yourself.

(Blue lines are the crotch seams underneath, and the purple is the elastic, with yellow pins. I feel x-ray helps me understand what's going on.)

And pin! (With more x-ray so you can see where everything should be)

Turn the whole deal right-side-out again, and sew along the existing crotch seams:

This will hide your sewing, which I think is a nice touch.

When you're done, turn it inside-out again and cut off the excess fabric (you can cut pretty close to the seam here)

And viola!

I decided to do an overcast stitch around the inside hem, just to help prevent fraying and make things look more finished. If you're hand stitching, you probably do not want to do all that, but you can use a zig-zag stitch for a similar effect if you're particularly masochistic/determined.

Penis time.

And an inside peek:

I find the strap really helps keep things in place no matter what I'm doing, whereas the pair I made without one needed a lot more readjusting. I'm also a huge fan of how subtle the changes are! Even when I go to the bathroom, I'm not reminded of how Different And Strange my underwear are. Feels good.

If you come up with any tips or changes, or if you decide to make these and want to share/provide feedback, please add to this post & I will try to share!

i think i cracked the code on converting regular underwear into packing underwear:

easily

using only a pair of sacrificial underwear

looks good (inside and out!), AND

keeps ur packer firmly and comfortably in place

if there is interest I can be persuaded to share my secrets

It’s just you and me shirt

It’s just you and me shirt

I remember a It’s just you and me shirt memoir — Beasts, Men, and Gods — by Ferdinand Ossendowski, a White Pole who fled the Bolshevik revolution through Siberia. He served in General Kolchak’s All-Russian Government before escaping through the Steppes north of Mongolia, and then participated in the government of that most notorious adventurer, the “Mad Baron” Ungern-Sternberg, who attempted to take over Mongolia to restore an imperial Khaganate as part of an imagined reactionary restoration of the Great Mongol, Chinese, and Russian monarchies in the interests of the “warrior races” of Germans and Mongols (a Baltic German, he considered the old Russian ruling class to represent Germandom over and against Jews and Slavs). Some of the things – the acts of desperation and madness, in which he himself was no disinterested observer – Ossendowski relates are harrowing. But this part struck me as very much making a point about what people think of the Steppe peoples, and of what (German-trained) nationalists like Ungern-Sternberg did (and would do again) to the Mongols.

A few NFL thoughts and a bold Super Bowl pick

Well folks, the big game of the year is nearly upon us. The Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in what should be a very entertaining and closely matched contest. As a big NFL fan, I will certainly be tuned in. It will also be a somewhat sad day for me and thousands of football fans across the land as the football season officially comes to a close. Oh my gosh! What are we going to do for the next several months? But we will survive for sure. Before I go any further, I would like to share a few thoughts of mine regarding a few issues in the NFL and make my annual bold Super Bowl prediction. Just a word of warning; I not one of these NFL experts who breaks down and analyzes the game from all perspectives. I am just some run of the mill fan who relies on my own gut instincts. But first, let me discuss a few NFL topics.

1. Aaron Rodgers.  In a per-Super Bowl post from last year, the topic of Aaron Rodgers also came up. He decided to come back to the Green Bay Packers. Flash ahead one year and the same story regarding Rodger's future is at us again. Where will he play next year? Will he retire? I had a strong feeling that he would return to Green Bay last year. This year, it is almost certain that he will not. I look for the Tennessee Titans to make a strong push to obtain Rodgers. He will end up in the AFC if he does not retire. The Packers would be foolish to trade him to a NFC team. Yes, it looks as if his very long reign in Green Bay is over. Rodgers can still play and can certainly help a fringe playoff team get over the hump.

2. Tom Brady.  A few weeks ago, Brady finally announced that he was hanging up the cleats for good thus ending perhaps the best ever NFL career. Will he tease us with a possible return? Absolutely! There will be a few teams out there who suddenly find themselves desperate for a quarterback and Brady will no doubt entertain that option. He is currently just a month removed from a painful end to the season and no doubt rather bitter about playing again. Give him a few months and when training camp comes rolling along later this summer, Brady may rekindle that fire to play again. But I highly doubt he will. He will get a nice offer to join the broadcast booth.

3. Two black quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. The media has really been making a big deal out of this. For the first time ever, the opposing quarterbacks are both black. I think this is absolutely wonderful to see given how few black quarterbacks we have seen through the years. But there is a bigger story behind this story. Both of these quarterbacks are genuine. good decent human beings who were brought up the right way in their lives by caring and loving fathers. That should tell you something about how important it is to have a good fatherly figure in an athlete's life. That concept often gets swept under the rug in today's society.

Now is the time for my Super Bowl pick. I strongly believe that the Eagles are the better team and should win this game. But there isi one thing that Kansas City has going for them in this game, they are the more experienced Super Bowl tested team in this matchup. How can you feel good about picking against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid in this game? But I still pick the Eagles to win 30-24. Enjoy the game my friends.!

The Bachelorette: Episode 24 - After the Final Rose

Thank you all for following along with The Bachelorette - it was a wild time, and we live for the fans! For our final episode, we check in with the cast one year after the final rose. What's everyone up to? Hopefully living their best lives 

[soundtrack]

Aja and Zeke had a beautiful wedding a few months after their engagement. They decided to keep the guest list small since they were a little burnt out after having been on camera 24/7 for the first two months of their relationship.

Mostly Aja just wanted a formal photo op - I mean, look at her.

The main event of the wedding was definitely the "reception" (more like RAGER) they had afterwards at Blue's Cradle! Zeke and Aja chose not to live at the commune, but they still live pretty close by and come to visit every so often. And Aja always gets her cards read by her lovely new mother in law.

After Aja’s last reading, Corinne just smiled and said, “Y’all gotta big yard in de new place, yeah? Good.” 

We got to stop by the Queen-Byrd household at their adorable and eclectic home in ATL to see how things were going. Aja and Zeke both say they've never been happier and more fulfilled. There's a lot going on! Black Beauty Babies is going stronger than ever, and combining with Blue's Cradle's resources has made both organizations able to help an incredible amount of people. They've also been continuing their "tomb raiding" adventures - helping indigenous communities with hidden and precious artifacts secure them before tourists/"explorers" can. They're getting a lot better at avoiding tomb traps. It seems like things are going great for our former bachelorette and her man. Let's see how it's going for everyone else

We weren't able to touch base with "Alanzo." In fact, nobody's been able to touch base with him for the last year. We've been told to ask you to contact the authorities if you see him.

After the show, Darion's girlfriend -- who he hadn't TECHNICALLY broken up with before going on The Bachelorette -- was so upset that she leaked his nudes and racy videos in an attempt to embarrass and out him. That backfired. The internet LOVED Darion. Things picked up for him pretty quick, first on social media then on the covers of magazines. Recently he launched Wolf Packer, which is being lauded as the Fendi of transmen's underwear. Looks like disrespecting women really paid off for him! Funny how that worked out.

Things didn't work out quite as well for "superstar" Bastien. After he was eliminated and Aja called him a "BAStard" #BastardBastien immediately started trending and stayed trending for 2 weeks, which is like a year in internet time. Because of all the bad press, Bastien's label dropped him. So now both Bastien and his tour are #CANCELLED

Ryan and Atticus are still together and deeply in love. Atticus decided to go against the wishes of his coven and turn Ryan to cure him of his cancer and ensure that they could spend their eternal lives together.

X'irron is doing more than fine! He took Aja's advice and continued his intergalactic travels. He hasn't quite gotten to the "finding himself" part of the journey, but he's definitely learning a lot ~getting to know~ all kinds of veeery interesting lifeforms.

And that's it! Thank you again for watching- oh wait, sorry. How could we forget sweet baby Cooper! Well...

Cooper's search for true love isn't over! Second time's the charm...That's how that phrase goes, right? (thank you to @maldeebee​ @holocene-sims​ and @utamuse​ for these beautiful girlies!!)

THE END 🌹  | PREVIOUS | BEGINNING 

Thank you again so much to everyone who’s been reading this story! I especially appreciate y’all that always comment and reblog and inbox me about it - that seriously means the world 🥺 so instead of leaving a like, leave a comment so we can talk about this crazy show now that it’s over 😔

New Post has been published on https://www.packernet.com/blog/2024/11/29/packers-shine-in-holiday-rout/

Packers shine in holiday rout

It was a picturesque night Lambeau Field yesterday and the Green Bay Packers did not disappoint. They took an early lead, rolled to a 24-3 halftime lead, then finished the game like good teams do in a 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins. It was in my opinion the Packers best game of the year. Now they have to do it again in Detroit next week.

Jordan Love continues to look more and more like the player he was at the end of last year. It seems the injuries are behind him and he’s playing his style of football once again. He took a few shots down the field against Miami but for the most part was careful with the ball. While not quite Checkdown Charlie, he did take what the defense gave him on more than one occasion. Which is fine by me.

The Packers only rushed for only 114 yards but it was enough to keep Miami’s respect. Josh Jacobs only had 43 yards rushing but Chris Brooks, Jayden Reed and Emanuel Wilson all added 20 yards or more on limited carries. Jacobs also had 74 yards receiving, including a 49-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter.

Defense is sneaky good at not allowing points

The Packers’ defense is 18th in yardage allowed but they are a sneaky top ten in points allowed. And how is this for bizarro world – the Packers are top ten in rush defense. This coming after the Joe Barry years when a high school team could have rushed for 100 yards on the Packers’ defense. The pass defense could use some shoring up, though.

While the defense didn’t get any turnovers against the Dolphins they did get two turnover on downs and forced three punts, including the opening drive of the third quarter when the Dolphins really had to score to get back in the game. Both of those led to points for the Packers’ offense.

I think if the defense can continue to improve they have what it takes to win a championship. Especially if Jaire Alexander were to somehow get healthy for the stretch run. They really need that shutdown corner to free up resources for other things like blitzing more. The defense will have it’s hands full with the Detroit Lions next week. The Lions are the top scoring team in the NFL, so it will be a good gauge of where they are.

But we’ll worry about that later. I like these Victory Fridays. I can watch the rest of the games this weekend with a “W” already in the books. I’ll be a big Cardinals’ fan Sunday for sure.

[dannyphantom-justiceleauge]

As much as I believe Vlad to be an iredeemable asshole in cannon, I like the idea of a begrudging mentor Vlad. Like, say in an alternate universe everything starts of the same but he's not got some evil plan to kill Jack and marry Maddie. He's bitter and resents them for turning him into this abomonation, resents them for being happy when he can't, he tries to stay connected, but he just can't stand being near them and fears their reaction to his ghost side. (1/3)

(2/3) He takes advantage of his new powers, he steals and cheats his way to power, living life lavishly, but it doesn't make him happy, none of it fills the emptiness in his heart. He spends most of his life miserable up until one day he invites the Fenton's on a whim, perhaps in some desperate attempt to find happiness again, where he meets Danny. It goes similarly how it went in the show, Vlad discovers he is a halfa like him, see's how his parents treat him... ~ ~ ~ i think part 3 got eaten, bro, but i'm gonna work with what i got.

Vlad sees this kid who's like him who's parents still talk about killing ghosts and destroying them in front of him. not knowing that they're threatening Vlad. that they're threatening their own son. he see's these so called scientist haven't learned anything about ghosts in the years that they've been estranged and that they've managed to make the same mistake twice.

and he see Danny, a moody teenager, going through the traumatic process of dying and gaining hard to control powers on top of being a highschooler and social pariah. he sees this kid in desperate need of guidance and sees his parents who are neglectful and unaware of a fact he learned within a day of knowing Danny. and he says, "if you can't handle the responsibility of having a kid, he's mine now." yoink

except, obviously, he's really, really bad at it. being a mentor, winning Danny over, being a good person. all of it.

initially he just straight up offers to help Danny learn his powers and that works, Danny agrees, because Vlad isn't trying to kill danny's parents or attacking him, or stalking them, so Danny has no reason not to accept the help. Vlad seems okay for all his rich guy eccentricities.

but then the lessons actually start and danny realizes. oh. this guy has no idea how to teach. and oh this guy has the moral compass of a rotary fan. and Danny initially goes with it. in canon danny's can be swayed by petty stuff and money up to a point. he can let a lot of shit go and is even willing to do some soft crime if he thinks it's for the right reasons. and Vlad might beat him up when trying to teach him to fight, but that's part of training, right? and he might be changing a little under Vlad's influence but danny doesn't see that as a bad thing, until Sam and tucker basically call him out and he accidentally hurts one of them. something that Vlad had told him to do.

so danny bails. basically confronts Vlad and tells him he's a shitty mentor and that he's gonna peace out. suck eggs, fruit loop.

but Vlad had thought things were going well. he's gotten attached. he doesn't want to go back to being alone and he and danny are the only two of their species in the world. so typical villain/stalker stuff happens between them for a bit. Vlad tries to win danny over with money, with manipulation, with blackmail. and Danny isn't having it. (he has blackmail on Vlad too). Vlad is growing increasingly desperate and looks and acts a mess. this is a vulnerable Vlad. we're not getting well kept always cocky and put together except when danny embarrasses him Vlad. we're getting a pathetic man trying to cling to the only human(ish) connection he has and slowly falling further into depression and insanity.

and Danny pities him. because Danny had that human connection too. in the early days before he decided he got to see vlad's dorky and cool side. Vlad was generous with his money. vlad only swears in food. he lights up when he watches a packers game and is a total fanboy.

and Danny kinda gets how he became like this. how his isolation and loneliness and fear drove him further and further down the road of corruptness and evil. Danny learns what he would become without his friends and if anything Vlad is better than that. it's almost similar to how he is with val. he understands where she's coming from and sees that she's a good person even if her actions have taken a turn in the wrong direction. he feels the same about Vlad. he thinks maybe he can convince Vlad to be better.

so redemption arc/reverse mentor relationship because danny is gonna be trying to teach Vlad how to stop being a fruit loop and start making some friends his own age. the comedy potential of that is amazing. i have the mental image of Danny convincing vlad to go on a date with Harriet Chin and coaching him from behind her even though he has next to no dating experience either. pure shenanigans.

i also see there being several back and forth instances of kidnapping. Vlad locks Danny in his house because he doesn't want to be alone (Danny eventually escapes and gets mad. Vlad learns never to do that again). Danny kidnaps Vlad to be a chaperone at a school event, mostly to get Vlad to lie for him. another time Vlad kidnaps danny to go to a rich person party because he said he had a kid in a pathetic attempt to make a friend (moral of the episode is lying to make friends doesn't work) so he just has Danny pose as his son that whole episode and they're trying to get along and seem happy, meanwhile snipping at each other in whispers. they think no one is buying that they're related but ironically them arguing at the end of the night is one convinces the person they're family. "me and my daughter would fight all the time, especially at events she didn't want to come to." probably muddies the moral but that's common enough in dp.

just gradually develops into a weird redeemed uncle/mentor dynamic. Vlad really isn't teaching Danny much. he still occasionally has his moments to shine with explaining new powers and showing danny how to commit tax fraud or lie to the police. but he's mostly just this weird guy who's first friend in twenty years is a teenager.

[nsfw-blog-im-your-beloved-uwu]

helpfgdfdh, so i commented on one of your posts. and i have absolutely no idea how to use tumblr correctly, cause i usually read my fanfics from ao3, or just dont. never been a fan of tumblrs layout. and now its embarrassing to know i couldve just asked lmao. anyways as i so foolishly commented, simpbur with a trans!male character. he sneaks around their room, either finds chest binders, medical records for testosterone, or records for top surgery. or a combination of that. accidently blurts out that he found that when he sees them around their apartment again you can know me as 🦝 anonymous. or just not at all because my dumb comment,

Ahh! Hello! I didn't notice the comment until you mentioned it in this ask lol! Also of course I can! welcome 🦝 it's great to see another anon! I would also like to mention that if I get anything wrong about the trans!Male y/n, I apologize!

Simpbur checks through your window checking for any sign that you were still home. He opens the window slowly. Luckily for him you never lock your windows.

He climbed through, his shoes landing on the carpet floor of your bed room. He takes a deep breath in your room, the small of you fills his nose. He couldn't help but giggle. He looks around your room, it was exactly how he imagined, but better.

He shakes his head, he wasn't here to gawk at the sight of your room. He was here to grab some boxers to jerk off too.

He walks to your closet, opening it. It was a rather normal closet but to simpbur it was a gold mine. He grabs one of your shirts, inhaling the scent, it smelled like heaven. He grabs the shirt; he's pretty sure you wouldn't mind him taking it anyway.

He goes to one of your drawers. Searching for his prize. He pulls out something, it wasn't want he was looking for but it definitely intrigued him.

It was a binder. He looked it over a bit surprised, but shrugged it off not thinking much of it. He kept looking, he grabbed what he was looking for.

It was your boxers. There was a packer in it, he wasn't expecting that. He thought it over, packer, binder, it clicked. Y/n was trans. He didn't really care, you were still going to be his. He closed the closet, rushing out your window with his goodies.

In the morning, he walks to your place. He would normally walk you to work so it wasn't surprising to see him at your door steps. You smile, he gives you a smile back.

You close the door locking it, as you guys ramble about your day. When something caught you of guard. He look at him surprised and nervous.

"You know I'm trans?" You ask.

He looks back at you confused, before he realized his slip up. He didn't know how to answer,

"Yes," he said.

There was few moments of silence that hung over the two of you. You look away from him with a sigh.

"Hey, just because your trans doesn't mean anything changes between us," he said,

your eyes meet his, you look in his eyes for any sign that he might be lying.

"Really?" You say,

"of course."

Ack, I hope it's good! It's like 1am for me right now, jdhdjdj, also I like dislocated my shoulder! So I'm sorry I haven't been answering as many asks!
