#oops I forgot his glasses but they're there now

[hypnagogics]

Okay.. but like, loser ellie but she’s also a stoner and explains the entire lore of spider man to you while you’re trying to have seggs and she’s like stoned out of her mind and yapping about literally spider man 😭

before you read!!

☆: THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IM CRYING LMFAO had me dying for like 10 mins straight. this is longer than intended bc im a yapper as we know, and i kinda don't know much of the spiderman lore (and you can def tell oops)…BUT I LOVE THE WAY YOUR MIND WORKS NONNIE.

◇: sfw but suggestive themes. warning: FAR from my best work, just wanted to keep momentum going ig. basically just fluff, lots of buildup as usual SORRY i have to establish a plot before we get to the good stuff…they're of age obviously, their relationship is left vague/up for interpretation so fill in the blanks w/ your own thoughts! “babe” pet name usage, consumption of weed, duh. ok i suppose that's all. OH AND SBWM REFERENCE HAHAHA (shameless self plug :3) + 1.0k wc.

One nice, regular night, chilling at Ellie’s humble abode, getting high, the usual Friday evening activities. You both were laying down in her bed, wrapped up in her dinosaur bedsheets of course, you were resting your head on her chest, occasionally coughing and swatting away the residual smoke that lingered in the air.

The weed had made your head fuzzy and your mouth drier than the Sahara desert, but despite all the not-so-great things, you loved to get high with Ellie.

Sometimes you'd fuck, sometimes you'd talk about life and reminisce about the good, the bad, and the ugly, and sometimes you'd just lay there to enjoy each other's company.

She was so warm and comfortable, you simply wished to merge bodies and become one with her, to make a home inside her ribcage even. You'd be perfectly fine just napping there on her cushiony chest, listening to her steady heartbeat and slow intakes of breath, if it wasn't for the familiar ache of need between your legs.

Shifting to look up at her, she was so incredibly zooted out of her mind, you found it hilarious. Chunky glasses covered in fingerprint smudges and sitting crooked atop her nose, eyes blood-red and so heavy lidded, you'd have thought she was asleep had you not taken a closer look.

You lifted yourself up and pressed your lips to the side of her pink cheek, repeatedly kissing her soft, smooth skin. She let out a husky giggle, her voice all hoarse and crackly from the substance. “Hiiii.”

She dragged out the vowel, grinning widely at you. Her smile was infectious, and you laughed at her state. Burying your face again in the crook of her neck, you mumbled, “Hi Ellie…you're so cute.”

Tangled up together, you kissed her some more on her neck, wanting to be as close as possible to her. She sighed, and angled her head to give you better access to more surface area. “That feels nice.” She'd slur, and you were pretty turned on at this point, to say the least.

It was worth asking. “Ellie…do you wanna fuckkk?” You whisper against her ear, and watch in delight as the bright-red blush spreads across her entire face like a wildfire, even reaching her collar, and spreading underneathyour shirt. “Um, yeah, duh. C’mere.”

You pressed a sloppy kiss to her lips, tangling your hands in her auburn locks and parting your puffy lips to invite her tongue in, not noticing the spit dribble down your chin where your faces met. Her breathing quickened immediately, and she whined into your mouth, the kisses getting even messier to the point where your teeth were clinking together, so you backed away for a breather.

The two of you shifted positions so she was now on top of you, resting her hand on your hip, thumb rubbing small circles. She moved in to initiate more lip-locking, but pulled away abruptly.

“Babe I forgot to tell you, so y’know Peter Parker, right?” And there she goes.

“Yeah, yeah I know him, can you just-” You try to rush past the beginnings of her rambling, because you knew once she got started, there was no end in sight. At least for a while.

You tried pulling her in to meet your lips again by the back of her head, but were met with lots of resistance. She seemed to look more alert now, a miracle. The power of superheroes!

She shuffled off of you and sat upright, assuming a cross-legged position, clearly not noticing your exasperated huffs and purposely obnoxious eye rolling, and the fact that there was a whole-ass human, half undressed, horny girl on her bed right there in front of her, who was slowly losing patience.

Ellie just went to her own world. Her eyes sparkled with passionate wonder as she thought about the series so dear to her heart. “Okay I rewatched all the movies a few days ago and I noticed something new…”

You were ready to give up what you originally had in mind, she was too far gone. She talked and talked endlessly, and you had to feign interest, nodding along and murmuring, “Mhm, yeah Els. Wow that's cool. Huh, never knew.” As enthusiastically as you could, so she didn't feel like she wasn't being listened to.

It was worth noting too though, when she started info-dumping about her interests she really was adorable, an excitement in her grassy eyes you never see otherwise, gesturing wildly with her hands and mapping out ideas to make it easy for someone who's never seen any of it to digest all this new information.

“...And then, in the movies Into the Spiderverse and Across the Spiderverse, there's this character called Gwen Stacy.”

She stops to cough and clear her throat, now seemingly appearing to completely forget that you were even there.

“And- oh yeah! She's also in the comics and ugh she's awesome, I really love her suit. It's got a hood on it…if I were to have a spider suit, it would be her style. Hm, it would also be mostly like, green…with red accents, ah I'm gonna show you all the sketches I made of it. But anyway…”

To be completely honest, you've been out of the mood for enough time now, and you've come to the realization that it actually didn't bother you.

This was Ellie, and you loved her for her! There was always next time you two met for a smoke session, you just loved spending time with someone so treasured such as her, and you'd be lying to say the Spiderman world wasn't a little interesting.

"That's so cool, wait. Okay can you explain the timeline of it all, oh and also how do all these different movies interact, is it the same universe, or something like the multiverse I think you mentioned?”

Summary: you start your second year of university but as the workload grows more intense, you start to feel your age. (mid-30s reader)

Part of the Bad Professors AU

Note: Please leave some feedback and reblog <3 As always, I love to chat with you all. 

You look at the grade on your quiz. It’s not the end of the world but it isn’t the best. And this course is negligible in the scheme of your degree, yet, you thought you were really getting this. It’s disappointing and you can do better. You will. 

As class lets out, you head down the centre aisle past the fleeing coeds. Most don’t stick around after the intense lectures. The whiteboard still shows the chaos of formulas as the professor closes his Mac. You approach nervously. 

“Professor Parker,” you greet. 

He turns and knocks over the cup of whiteboard markers. “Ah gee.” 

He rights the cup and you bend to catch the scatter that roll around your feet. He does the same on his side of the table. As you stand and slide them back into their place, he bats away a pesky curl form his forehead. He pushes his glasses back up his nose and gives a sheepish smile. You could cringe. He’s a professor and you just know he’s younger than you. 

“Hi, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” 

“No, no, I was just thinking,” he grabs the cup as he shoves the rest of the markers inside. “How’s it going?” 

“Uh, yeah, it’s good. I was just...” you stop yourself. “I think I forgot your office hours. I was just going to ask for a little help going over my quiz but I don’t want to keep you--” 

“No, it’s fine,” he rattles the cup of markers then makes himself still. “I can help you know.” 

“Oh, okay,” you lay your quiz on the table. “I think I did pretty good but 4a really messed me up,” you flip the page and point.  

He leans to look over your work. He gently pushes aside the pen cup and reaches to his ear. He frees the pen behind it and bends over the table. He puts his weight on one elbow. You loom over him, crouching to watch him. 

He reaches up to pat his hair then pinches the arm of his glasses and chuckles, “already on. Oops.” 

You realise he’d been looking to pull his glasses down to his nose. He reminds you of Cerise sometimes. Come to think of it, she might do with a prescription herself. 

“Okay, I think I see what happened,” he taps with the tip of the pen. “Missed a step here.” You focus on the ink scrawling over in his tight writing. “But you were on the right track.” 

You take in his explanation patiently. When he looks up at you, his brown eyes surprise you. They're almost sparkling. 

“Right, thanks, I get it now,” you say. “Next time I’ll go over my work twice.” 

“Never hurts,” he stands and flips the front page over. He lifts it and hands it over. “You’ll be fine. It’s second year. Got my engineering degree no problem after flunking a course. Just had to put in a summer course.” 

“Oh, I’m not an engineering student,” you say. “But I do need the elective.” 

“No? Pretty good for not an engineering student.” 

“Art,” you supply. 

“Art? Wow. Not what I expected.” He muses. 

“I know. I’m gonna be working at a Starbucks in no time,” you kid. 

“No, that’s not... fair,” he protests. “What kinda art? Like, er, do you paint or whatever?” 

“I like to paint. Sketch... working on clayworks in one of my studios.” You say, “actually, I think you’ll laugh.” 

You bring your bag up and tuck away the quiz as you pull out your notebook. You open it and show him that day’s note. The margins are full of aimless doodles. 

“Oh, wow,” he admires your careless scribbles. “Bet you make all sorts of cool things. I’m not very good at drawing.” He glances over his shoulder at the whiteboard, “don’t know if it’s obvious.” 

His writing is narrow and bit all over but it’s legible. 

“Not that bad,” you assure him as you close up the notebook. “I meant to ask, how’s your leg?” 

“My leg? Oh yeah. It’s healing. Can’t say the same for the khakis. Lost cause,” he sighs. 

“Oh,” you give a tight-lipped smile, “well, I’m glad it wasn’t worse.” 

“I swear, they built this place like a death trap. Too many stairs,” he clucks. 

You chuckle, “yeah, I could go for a bit less... but wouldn’t that be an engineer’s thing?” 

“Architects help...” He says defensively. 

“Alright, alright, I’m just kidding,” you haul your bag onto your shoulder. 

“Hey, I would argue we need some artists to pretty these things up. Buildings are so boring these days. You know, I went to Italy, all those marble columns and statues...” he says. “Not that I’m bragging. Just an observation I made. I went to some museums and saw paintings too. The DiCaprios... No Da Vinci! Oh god!” He slaps his forehead in embarrassment, “my brain is fried, I’m sorry.” 

“All good,” you assure him, “we’re all feeling it, I think.” You step back on your heel, “anyway, I think I’ve kept you long enough. Thanks for the help.” 

“Any time. Everyone else runs away from me,” he says. “I’m still getting used to this ‘Professor’ thing.” 

“Well, you’re a really good teacher,” you assure him, “I should go.” 

“Right, see ya next class,” he says. 

“Sure, see ya then,” you give a tiny wave and retreat.  

You turn and climb the centre stairs to the rear exit. You open the door and glance back. He’s watching you. Caught, he coughs and turns back to the board and searches for the erase. He starts to wipe out the numbers and you leave him to his clean up.  

You have time before you can stop by the studio. Enough to eat something or get a coffee. It’s only week two and you’re wondering how you’re going to get through the rest of it. Especially with your overnight shifts in between.

shane taking care of fem farmer whos on their period maybe some spice 👀

I love this prompt, I rarely get a chance to write about period sex 😂♥️ Shane is definitely not the squeamish type.

If any of you are though, fair enough! This short one shot isn't graphic in its description of blood, but it is there. Reader discretion is advised. NSFW, obviously. Shane x Female Farmer:

"Buh…I forgot to get those spicy pretzels I wanted. I guess I'll go back to Pierre's. It's not gridball Sunday without 'em." Shane scowled, put the groceries on the table, and turned around to look at his wife. She was grimacing and rubbing her lower back. "All right chickadee?"

After wincing, she managed a smile. "Yeah. Just cramps." Shane gave her a look. She wasn't great at slowing down on the farm, even when she was in pain. "Don't look at me like that!" Shane intensified his look, furrowing his brows together in a goofy show of disapproval. "Fine, they're kinda bad. When you're at Pierre's can you get me some ibuprofen?"

Shane smiled and kissed her forehead. "Sure thing, bud. Be right back. Why don't you take a hot shower?"

She smiled back. "Okie dokie."

He went back to Pierre's, and made sure to grab his wife's favourite snacks along with his spicy pretzels. Shane headed to the small section of the store where Pierre carried painkillers. He frowned. JojaMart was a hell hole, but when they were open the ibuprofen was way cheaper. And Shane would know. He used to take a lot of it. 

When he'd stocked up on everything they'd need for the night, Shane paused. There were flowers for sale by the counter. With a rare grin for Pierre, Shane added a bouquet to his order. His gridball game could go on the DVR. Shane had other plans in mind now. 

Farmer was still in the shower when he got home, and Shane arranged her flowers in a vase on the dresser. He lowered the lights and put on some music. There was also some massage oil in the bedside table, so Shane grabbed it before lighting some candles and changing into fresh pajama bottoms. He didn't bother with a shirt. There was a chance he'd get oil on it.

The familiar pattern of her footsteps was behind him then, along with the smell of her body wash. "Whatcha doin', babe?" Shane could hear the smile in her voice, and he turned to face her. Her hair was towelled off but still damp, her face scrubbed clean and dewy. 

She'd deny it, but even when she felt crummy Shane's wife was a stone fox. "Just felt like takin' care of you tonight." Shane planted a kiss on her forehead. "Here." He passed her a glass of water and two ibuprofen. She took them gladly, and exhaled happily—her eyes fluttering closed as Shane grazed her arm. He kissed her softly on the mouth. "Lay on your stomach so I can rub your back."

She looked down. "Uh…yeah but I am bleeding ya know."

Shane chuckled. "Duh. I know. I got a towel." He grabbed the old bath sheet he'd pulled from the linen closet and flicked it open so it draped on the comforter. "Problem solved."

With a giggle, Farmer removed her bathrobe and laid it on a chair. She was so gorgeous Shane's cock throbbed under his bottoms, but he put those thoughts to the side. He wanted to put her first.

She climbed onto the bed, laying on her belly with a sigh. "It's mostly my lower back that hurts. But my stomach hurts a little too." Shane grazed his thumb along her lower back, and then kissed her ear. His wife shivered with another giggle. "Your stubble tickles."

Shane brushed his lips against the shell of her ear once more. "Oops." His wife laughed and reached behind herself, smacking at him playfully. Shane chuckled, then opened the massage oil. As he drizzled it on, Farmer shivered again. But in the way she did when she was content. He began to rub her skin—kneading his thumbs into her lower back.

"Mmmmm…"

He shifted slightly. His cock was semi-hard now, but it was no big deal. Shane continued to massage his wife's back, working out the kinks. "Does it help, bud?"

"Uh huh. Loads. Thanks, baby."

The longer he massaged her, the harder Shane got. He started to rub her thighs, and she stiffened a bit. "Aren't you like…afraid to get blood on your hands?"

Shane snorted. "Nah. You know I've helped Marnie deliver cows and stuff, ya dork. Just relax." He moved his hands further in, massaging Farmer's ass and thighs with his thumbs, his fingers grazing her lower lips. There was some blood on Shane's fingertips, but he didn't care. It was the furthest thing from his mind.

"God…that feels so good, Shane."

His breath staggered. Shane's cock was now fully erect, and he leaned down to kiss his wife between her shoulder blades. "I love you," he whispered. "Turn onto your back and I'll rub your belly."

It was her turn to snort. "Like a dog?" 

"Pfft, no." Shane wiped his bloodied fingertips on a wet wipe. "I got you some treats from the store, though." Chuckling, Farmer rolled onto her back. Shane couldn't resist. "Good girl." He shook with laughter and passed her a bag of candy before he squeezed more massage oil onto her stomach.

His wife's eyes gazed up at him as his hands skimmed her belly, and she sighed with contentment. "I love you too, baby." She put her hand on his face, smiling at him with a gummy worm hanging out of her mouth. "You're the best." Shane leaned into her touch, and she cupped his cheek, then ate the rest of her gummy.

He blushed. "S'nothing compared to how you always take care of me." 

Eyes shimmering, Farmer shook her head. Pausing for a beat, she rubbed her nose against Shane's before pressing their lips together. She tasted like candy, and her chapstick. Shane wasn't religious, but his wife always tasted like heaven to him.

She released a moan, and Shane broke the kiss. He was surprised she was in the mood for this. A soft whimper was her response, and once again Farmer launched herself forward—hungrier than before. 

"It's the best remedy of all, you know," Farmer said, moving her lips from Shane's mouth to his ear. Her silky voice sent shivers up his spine, and Shane groaned, pulling her back into a kiss. Her bag of candy was sent flying, along with the bottle of massage oil. Farmer undulated her hips into Shane's, then slid her hand down his pajama bottoms. "This will fix me. This will make everything better." She gripped his cock, and it flexed in her grasp. "Give it to me."

Not needing any further encouragement, Shane pulled his pants completely off. "Yes, ma'am," he said with a smirk. First planting a kiss on Farmer's forehead, he then slid his hand under hers so he could hold his cock. "You're so fuckin' pretty, chickadee."

He trailed the head of his dick up and down his wife's slit. Shane had never cared about a little mess, so when the tip of his cock had blood on it he wasn't bothered. Farmer panted, and put her hands on Shane's lower back. Her nails dug into his flesh, her mouth hung open with a ragged exhale. Shane was teasing her now—tapping his penis on her swollen clit, and painting her cunt with his precum; a primal urge taking hold.

As Shane slowly slid inside, Farmer arched her back. The sound she made could've been "yes," or it could have been Shane's name. It was indecipherable, though, and needy. Frantic. It was the same noise she'd made the first time they had sex. Fueled by that memory, Shane braced one hand on the mattress and slid the other underneath his wife's upper back. Hitching her leg over his, he began to fuck into her with precise, deep thrusts. 

"Mmm, fuck, God baby…just like that. Right there…"

Those words were unmistakable, and Shane was happy to fulfill Farmer's requests. "Feels better, huh? You like that, baby?" he growled as his wife moved her hands to his ass and squeezed. 

"Yes, yes…"

Shane held Farmer's gaze as he let go of the mattress, and snaked his hand down her body. He began to stroke her clitoris, and his wife cried out with ever-increasing desire. "Would feel even better if you came on my cock." He grinned at her and her blissful expression. "That's it…good girl…"

It was warm and dripping between his wife's legs, and Shane still didn't care which fluids were involved. All he cared about were the murmurs, stuttered gasps, and whines Farmer produced as Shane stimulated her. 

"Gonna…mmmph…Shane…"

She tossed her head back with her release, her shaking body rendered limp as a rag doll. Shane held her up with two hands then—one of them sticky with her blood and juices. There was a raw, animal quality to it, and Shane growled before hammering into Farmer; chasing his own climax like a beast in rut. 

His orgasm was accompanied by a guttural, throaty noise—his vision blurred and his head swimming. At the last moment Shane caught himself instead of collapsing on Farmer. He managed to roll next to her, laying on his back to avoid making a mess of the comforter. 

When he'd recovered his breath, Shane turned to face his wife. She was still trembling a little, so Shane grabbed another wet wipe to clean his hands before wrapping his arms around her.

He kissed her temple and nuzzled against her neck. "How're those cramps now, bud?"

Tech: "I am not sure how I should care about change, it is a fundamental part of life"

Tech: "I am aware that you miss him, but we have to adapt and move on. That's what soldiers do."

Omega: "we're more than that. We're a family aren't we?"

Tech: "yes of course we are"

Omega: "why don't you act like it?"

Tech: "Echo chose a different path, as did Crosshair. I have to respect their decision. Even though it can be difficult to understand, we must carry on. I may process moments and thoughts differently, but it does not mean that I feel any less than you"

I have to put it all in bc this scene means so much to me 🥺🤲💕

Wrecker's scream and the big *fwosshhh* landing in the water vs Hunter's tiny *bloop*

Omega quoting Tech 💕💕💕💕

oooohhhh this ep holds a special place in my heart fr

[pastafossa]

so i've asked briefcasejuice about this already but i'd also like your take too - since you're part of the daredevil tumblr fandom council and all ...

I'm writing this scene and one of my ocs asks matt if he can handle spicy food and i wanted him to explain this whole thing about pain receptors in his mouth being "sensitive"... and how he hated pineapple because of the bromelain...(the substance that breaks up the protein in your mouth, that's why it's tingly)

and then my oc asks about like regular "body" pain since touch is after all one of the senses of his that have been heightened, and he explains something along the lines of even if the feeling of pain is heightened -- his body isn't actually weaker or more sensitive - so while he gets injured like anyone else he feels the pain of those injuries differently (more). over time he has gotten used to it but its still something he's working on as he hurts himself worse with every fight.

WHAT I'M GETTING AT is that i came to @briefcasejuice about this because they're very knowledgeable about matt stuff and comic matt especially, and they told me it did sound pretty accurate - so now i guess i just want to know -

how do you interpret or view matt's sensibility when it comes to pain - and if it came up in TRT (which maybe it did and i forgot oops?) how would you write it out?

and btw - congrats on the mango thing!! what's next on the fruit discovery journey 🤨 (what else can i be shocked that you didn't try)

Ok first of I love the idea of a Daredevil tumblr fandom council, because now I've got the image of all of us gathered solemnly to talk about DD fandom topics and headcanons like

Second off, ooooh this is a good question. I can't remember if I've ever gotten deep into it in TRT, although it'll probably come up eventually. But I absolutely agree with @briefcasejuice, and with your take on it. This seems right, for a couple reasons, including my own experience with pain.

So a lot of this is based on my own issues (and one of the reasons I relate really strongly to Matt's sense of touch, touch starvation, and pain, and when writing generally include him being comforted and going near comatose beneath gentle touch). Without getting too specific, due to chronic pain and health problems, I experience something called allodynia - "pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain." Basically, my nerves are all spun up to 11 and even light sensation often reads as pain, regardless of whether I'm actually hurt - Matt's comment about 'cotton feels like sandpaper on my skin'? I get that, cause rough fabric's painful to me (another ex: put icy hot on my skin once, just about clawed it off my arm because I was convinced something had gone wrong and it was burning me). And on bad days, even very soft fabrics or, hell, a breeze, any sensation anywhere I have nerves feel like bits of glass grinding into a burn. Best explanation I have for a really bad day. And we know Matt's sense of touch is heightened. So I often think he feels a lot like me, and how you described it feels right.

Everything hurts more, even if you're not being hurt more, and even if your body's strong enough physically to take whatever's being done. Physically, there's no reason his body can't handle cotton sheets, or a food with acid, and God knows the man can take a punch. Functionally, his body is fine. But his nerves don't act that way. They send way more signals than they need to, and sure, this helps if he's trying to use them to his own advantage, but it also means he's left wide open to a far higher degree of pain from stimuli that most of us would consider more minor (pineapple, in this case) along with the pain we all regularly avoid.

Does he mostly block it out? Yes. Especially on a day to day, to the point where he may actually miss smaller injuries because he's focused on tuning out other, larger pains. I know I do - your brain eventually just goes 'oh new baseline and I still need to live so Imma put everything below it into the background so it doesn't stop us doing what we need to'. I hug people, I touch things that are rough, I use hot water with the dishes, and if I focus on it, I remember that it hurts a bit, but I've learned to tune that out for the most part. Much like me, Matt's dealt with this for years, so while he does what he can (soft sheets, avoiding certain foods, wearing certain types of clothes), he's gotten used to a lot of the day to day stuff he can't avoid, though like you said, as the injuries pile up, it just gets worse and worse as that pain stacks. Some of it might be tempered by surges of adrenaline and endorphins (why I theorize he can fight even when injured - tune it out thanks to all the practice, PLUS fighting so ferociously that his body pumps him up until he can ignore it, at least until he crashes afterwards, and crashes hard), but he's definitely feeling it far, far worse.

So I basically think it's likely, especially when pain is stacking, that he's just made a bunch of calculations for his everyday life on what's worth the pain and what isn't - certain foods? No point. Cotton sheets? No point. There is no benefit, and so he comfortably avoids it, whereas going out to fight he generally always sees as worth it since there's a tangible benefit. Those calculations at least are something we all do every day - we decide the pain of a tattoo or working out or that sour candy is worth it cause it gives us something we like. Matt just takes it up to 11. I can absolutely see him taking something like, say, pineapple - tingly and acidic - and not only feeling pain when eating it but also just literally running the mental math and going, 'yeah not worth it' because he's in enough pain day to day thanks to injuries and other things he can't avoid.

In summary: you're right and I headcanon Matt operates much like someone who's been dealing with allodynia for a while, which means he'd feel more pain from stimuli even if it's not hurting him, so he chooses things in his day-to-day to avoid and then just throws himself into the pain on big things and hopes the endorphins and adrenaline will help him tune it out.

LASTLY THANK YOU ON THE MANGO! I cannot BELIEVE I went so long without knowing how fucking delicious they were. New fruits I haven't tried that are on my list now that I realized I need to find if there are MORE DELICIOUS UNKNOWNS LIKE MANGOS: boysenberries, figs, grapefruit, guava, kumquats, passionfruit, papaya, prickly pears, and satsumas!

Trigun Stampede Episode 12 Liveblog!

I think the best way to express what I'm feeling going into this is just like *shaky thumbs up*

Oh that's funny they have Western style music in the background as they discuss the genre. Also what one of the genres of the show may or may not be. Speaking of characters applying themes to themselves lol.

Also wow! We get to look at the spaceships. I'm pretty sure that's more ships than crashed onto the planet?

"Maybe you two are gifts sent by God to act as a bridge between humans and plants." I honestly don't know how to feel about this? I think this is the first time we've seen a religious character that has practiced something presumably similar to something current rather than a space sci-fi offshoot.

...does the growing humanoid form of roots and flowers resemble Rem??

oh and there's Wolfwood. Hi, Wolfwood. What do you think is happening right now.

"It's the end of the world." Okay, question answered. I guess that's what Wolfwood thinks is happening right now.

"...he will connect directly with the plant core" okay so it is singular? And specific to Plants? Or are there multiple for different beings?

That's.... okay he's not actually giving souls to the pre-existing plants, he's using them to create new, separate Independents. That's worse?? Not only is he not doing anything for his existing "brethren" but instead forcing them to... give birth or the equivalent.

"Then he will wipe out humanity and create a new world." I thought your whole thing was preserving humanity?? Unless you think the human/plant hybrids accomplish that.

Sorry do we have to keep zooming in on the very pregnant looking plants? Incredibly uncomfortable rn

The effect on Vash's clothes and glasses is also a little uncomfortable tbf, but less viscerally so

Oh neat the score is echoing the singing!! That's cool.

Knives' vocals overlapping and being so dissonant emotionally is also really cool

very engrossed in the fight scene, but jotting down: he hesitated in reloading the gun. oof.

yeah actually I have no complaints about Meryl not being involved in action scenes the last few episodes. She is very outclassed in these fights. :0

Lmao Wolfwood shows up and immediately starts lugging her around. I love the constant physical comedy with these guys.

"You can bet they'll hunt us down in a frenzy!" meanwhile Wolfwood and Meryl are frantically scrambling away

also I didn't comment on it earlier but lmao Knives' single wing (wait. wait does that have actual biblical connections or is that just a ff7 invention. I'm realizing I have no idea. Oops.)

oh lol now Vash has one. Although it looks a little less traditional. I vote it still counts?

Oooh, they're blaming him. Understandable, but I bet that's gonna be a source of trauma in the future.

Oh wait note they're doing a white/black color scheme. Neat.

Nice and now their wings are framing their positions.

Oh and now they're falling angels. Okay I know these are very surface level observations but I'm having fun and don't have much to say about the fight otherwise haha

Oh nvm, "Nai is dead. You killed him." also gonna be very traumatizing for Vash sometime in the near future! Wonderful. Why are you traumatizing your twin further while actively being incinerated??

wgghhhhh I didn't expect to see the flesh like. melting. yikes.

(Knives' hair is incredibly resilient lol)

...okay I don't actually trust that he's not dead yet tbh.

Yup and there's the explosion.

Oh. Oh that's more of a 'and everybody got vaporized,' huh.

!! The top of the tower actually flew off! I kinda forgot about it in the fight. Huh!!

TWO YEARS!?

(also: titlecard! not as late as say last episodes, but still markedly later than standard)

"third city of JuLai" wait there's multiple?

huh. They changed Vash's arrest conditions. I'm honestly surprised that 'alive' is even still an option. also surprised that they know he was involved at all.

also yay echoing the first episode a little, nice.

:O "gaping crater" indeed

ah yet another cross huh. I guess this makes more sense as a gravestone for Roberto, though.

!! Zazie!?

"Very soon, they'll arrive, crossing over the wall of light." Okay!! Ominous! Both in subject matter and who the warning is coming from.

From EARTH??

eyyyy Milly (Millie?) finally getting namedropped

huh. That's a lot of blood. This isn't the same place as the first episodes, right?

Eriks, huh? <- suspicious and mostly sure of my assumption

Moon? Moon?????

Oh it's the credits backdrop, okay.

...end credits!

"Project Pieces of Earth now entering phase two." ...implying that this was a) according to plan and b) being monitored????

"drain gate" doesn't seem to fit with Vash's deal. interesting. draining from the gate, or something else?

Oh. Okay so they weren't monitoring the planet and the situation there, they were monitoring something else?? Okay that's more interesting actually.

End notes:

Okay well that was a ride! I'm having trouble trying to round this off so I guess I'll just categorize as usual.

The animation/visuals really impressed me for the most part! And to be fair, the times where it didn't could be chalked up to intentional choices, rather than lack of skill or technology. Background was also really cool! Stuck out a few times, but usually in a fun way.

I can't really think of anything to say about the characters or plot tbh, I think I kinda got everything in the liveblog section itself. Eager to see where both go, and thus kind of unsure whether or not I should unfilter the trigun tag yet lol.

Other than that, hmm. Don't really have a favorite among the characters, but I really enjoy Wolfwood's interactions with both Vash and Meryl. Moreso in the fun-to-pick-at dialogue for the former and the kind of goofy back and forth for the latter.

For other semi-core characters, I guess the only one I'm not really interested in is the doctor/priest guy. I think every episode we see him in I get more confused by him. Like. What is he doing? Why is he allowed to do that? How can he do it? Why does he think that's a good idea? It feels like the answer to those were in a state of constant flux near the end there.

On an overall/series level: had a lot of fun with this! Might try out the '98 series, but I don't know if I'll liveblog it (or at least the same way) given that I've seen a bunch of the plot already. Although I've heard it is rather different, so I guess that's subject to change.

[tsuki-sennin]

You may have noticed that this watchthrough of King-Ohger has been dead for... months. There's a multitude of reasons for this. Mainly that I keep forgetting or I've been too focused on other things or some game came out, or... I fell off big time.

That is why starting today, I will be rectifying that extensively!

A three-part adventure! Spiders Jeremy allegedly betrays his closest friends! Rita meets their predecessor! We meet Jeramie's hot spider mom! All this and more on Spoilers I guess!

So uh... Spoilers, I guess...

-Oh yeah, I left on this cliffhanger, huh?

-Nooooooo

-"How dare you..."

-Everyone is dead.

-Everybody is comatose in the intro, Jesus fuck

-Gerojim.....

-Evil bug ladies have a tendency to be distressingly hot, so Hilbil frightens me

-"Well, now~! It was you, hmmm?" Jeramie says, barely holding his rage.

-Ohhhhhhhh, straight up holding him back.

-OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THIS HELL DIMENSION

-Goddamn Jesters.

-Jingoist Ignition.

-The Lady Leech strikes.

-...I wonder if she's meant to evoke a succubus?

-Jesus this is messed up

-Misapplied patriotism.

-Sooooo, Jeramie... whaddya doin' up there?

-He loves that planet.

-"Wanna help me out~?"

-The clock strikes high noon in the kingdom of Shugoddam. In the dungeon, Gira steps forth to Captain Douga's cell, placing a lantern just in front of the bars.

-Ohhhh...

-"We NEED you!"

-"...oops? Oh well, you can handle it. I know you can :)"

-Their qualifications left on their chairs.

-"Ohsama Sentai Kingohger..."

-"Hiiiiiiiiiiii~!"

-JERAMIE?????

-"I am Jeramie Idmonaarok Ne Brasieri, last of my great line, son of a hero and a gentle-hearted woman, King of the Bognaarok, and the greatest of the Ohsama Sentai! And you can all suck it!"

-What the hell is your game here, Jeramie?

-"Okay, no you just gotta execute me, feed the bugs I shoved into Rita's basement, and make sure that all the humans are happy and we're set :)"

-W-wha...?

-OKAY?????

-Wha????

-Jeramie... You're really going back to square one just for this? There were better ways than this, surely.

-Oh

-Oh I see now.

-A long due big hand for Jeramie Brasieri.

-For Spiders Jeremy.

-Ohhhhh, that's great to hear again.

-"So uh... what's the matter here?"

-HOLY SHIT GIRA HULJ

-Get her ass!

-Insert WOOOO

-That leech has way too much movement.

-Ohger Finiiiiish~!

-Well damn. Got away, did she?

-Seems Dagdaddy took poorly to his in-flight entertainment.

-"I've already waited 2000 years. What's like... two more, really?"

-G

-Grodie

-Oh my god, they have their own Spiders Jeremy.

-Episode 30, okay

-Jeramie refers to himself in the third person.

-Jewelry~!

-Karras...

-That's spelled close enough to "karass", which in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle is a Bokononist term referring to a group of people who share a significant connection or higher purpose. This is opposed to "granfalloon", which refers to people who think they're connection is special but really means about as much as two people both being Hoosiers.

-Fairly appropriate, given this is a chief justice.

-Oh come now Rita, you can spare a second for tea, right~?

-"That is my schtick, but to be honest I'm way more worried about you."

-Jeramie...

-Ohhhhhh, the Sanagim!

-You guys are super adorable, I'm glad you guys are... seemingly kinda okay, given the circumstances.

-Freezing!

-Down the lake they go.

-Daaaaaang, you sip so closely.

-She liiiiiikes yoooooou~!

-Awwww, Himeno...

-"Bite my head off, why don't you..."

-Ohhhhhh, language?????

-Taselles mirullia da'pago!

-Hiiiii, boss.

-There's that eye of theirs again.

-Chief Justice???

-"Spill it, Rita."

-Freezing a kid's eye for power...

-Jesus Christ, Karras-

-That must be our Grodie then, eh?

-"A hospital..."

-OHHHHHH

-Okay, it's a little hard for me to tell past the make-up and glasses, but that's Kousei Amano! That's Sakuya Tachibana!

-His murder fetish has become.

-They're all dead!

-Grodie Leucodium.

-"Who dat?"

-KAMEJIM?????

-"Oh~! You forgot, didn't you~? Oh well, don't worry, I took care of it long ago~!"

-"Oh no, no, no~! It's genocide we're doing today, you see~!"

-I see... an enemy with no control.

-Himeno and Rita.

-Oh

-Cool, he's immortal too.

-Stop talking about your death boner, please.

-KAMI NO IKARI DAAAAA

-"Stupid life-livers..."

-Use of extremely lethal force.

-Taselles mirullia da'pago.

-Moffun...

-Himeno....

-"We will kill his ass. Together."

-OH????

-Oh hi there

-"Mom?????"

-Oh sure you do.

-Hello, Mrs. Nephila.

-Oh hi, Dogdad.

-"Instant genocide, it's gonna be Off Da Chain~!"

-Jeramie's fucking hammock

-Kaguragi's beyond impressed.

-Holy shit, Nephila just

-Wiped him the fuck out

-I think I'm in love

-United by one purpose

-Warm....

-"Count me out of this one, please."

-Poor Jeramie.

-I suspect the severity of the situation calls for Yanma's... direct approach.

-Play a sick game.

-"Rita! Ref time."

-You're a lucky gal, getting cuffed by Rita like that.

-Kaguragi?????

-Bro????

-Ventra!!!!

-"We're going to beg like little bitches because the absolute last thing we should be having right now is pride!"

-Fotsuka Fortune.....

-That's bribery Rita!

-Into the cage they go.

-"Ugh screw this, who cares, let's do it."

-Just when they were starting to have fun...

-VENTRAAAAAA!

-"That's not happening, man."

-"Screw this, we're doing this ourselves!"

-Digdug

-Giant Spider Milf.

-...this is truly dangerous territory we've entered.

-"Sorry you lost, by the way. <3"

-"Laugh, boy!"

-KERPRANKED

-"...Huh?"

-CHICANERY

-Oh...

-No Giant Spider MILF then?

-Dugded Dujarden, you have been played.

-"Nobody lied to you. Nobody told you."

-The salt in that water bear.

-Ms. Nephila...

-Farewell, ma'am...

-OH FUCK THEY GRABBED KAGURAGI

-EVERYBODY'S GONE

-The worst place imaginable.

-Tokyo.

-Yeah the Kyoryuger crossover~! That'll come later today though. And it will be later today, because today's Kyoryuger's 10th anniversary!

"Hello there. To any of you who may be reading this, I am [------], the Strombonin from Cold Island. I've recently been informed by my friend [-------] that-"

"Hiiii [------]! Whatcha doing? Who are you writing to?"

"Oh, greetings [---------]. I'm simply writing to a trio of traveling monsters. [-------] told me about them a while ago after their visit to Fire Oasis."

"Whoah! That's cool! But what are those weird empty spaces though?"

"Ah, it seems that not even the ask box allows for names yet…"

"Oh. So we can't tell them our names?"

"No, but we can call each other by our species name. *ahem* As I've said, I'm Strombonin from Cold Island, and my dearest friend here is Yawstrich."

"Hello! :D"

"Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I'm writing this to wish you three safe travels on your journey, wherever it may lead you. May you be safe and discover many great things on your quest."

"And hopefully you get back to your homes safe with whatever you get to bring back! It'd be cool to see something from new on Air Island, recently it's been harder to find things to do on there."

"That's because you've been "grounded", Yawstrich."

"Well- okay yeah that's true, but stiilll! It's boring without you and the others :("

"Why don't you two just kiss already?"

"OH MY GOD [--------] WHY ARE YOU HERE!?"

"Because >:)"

"Ugh, whatever. Just leave us alone. Can't you see that me and Yawstrich are doing something right now?"

"What I'm seeing is you two being idiots right now! Like, you two are already so-"

"Shut. Not another word out of you. Go away right now. And leave us in peace."

"Make me >;)"

"… [---------], keep writing. I dealing with this damn jester myself."

"Wha- oop!… And they're gone… Umm, sorry about that! [--------]- um, I mean, Hyehehe and Strombonin don't get along very well. They're always fighting about something ever since Hyehehe came to Mythical Island. Hope you don't mind that!"

"Umm, [--------]? Would you mind trying to calm down [------] right about now?"

"Yeah, it's like, totally killing the vibe, man."

"Oh, hi [-----], [-------]! Oh right, you can't type names here. These are G'joob and Anglow! And the one that Strombonin is chasing is Hyehehe! We're all chilling on Mythical Island right now and-"

"*ahem* [---------], if you could please calm [------] down right now before they actually throw Wheezel at [--------] that would be very much appreciated!"

"Wait they're doing what! Uh, umm- but they told me to-!!!"

"... Aaaand there goes Wheezel… I'll go get the little dude, check up on him for anything bad, y'know?"

"Thank you [-------]…"

"… Okay, I should probably get going now before Hyehehe starts making Strombonin tear down the castle next... Hope you guys have a safe trip! Bye bye now!"

(They all forgot to sign on this post...)

Ahahah , Thank You !! We Will Be Leaving The Shanty To Explore More Soon , And I’m Glad You’re Wishing Us Well . But We’re A Bit Delayed Since My Sister And Punkleton Hid Furcorn’s Glasses Somewhere 😅 Also , I Know Hyehehe Can Be A Bit … Rude Sometimes , Hahah ! Speaking From Experience .

Season 1 SG-1 Live Blogging:

It's been a while since I've watched this but I've also seen it over 20 times at this point so I doubt there will be any surprises. Who knows! Plus I finally have refreshed context with the movie.

Updates:

- Children of the Gods pt 1&2

- ahh the black side bars

- I still dont know why the tarp would be moving before the gate even starts dialing, once it starts and everything starts shaking and the tarp goes flying yeah

- AHHHH THE FIRST LOCK OF THE SHOW

- AHHH THE CLASSIC GOA'ULD MUSIC

- the suits are so silly and top heavy I love it

- TEAL'C

- how are these trained military personnel only managing to hit the center base playe of their armour lmao, some real stormtrooper shooting right there

- god damn the acting of the dude who was screaming and shooting was very bad and the effects were so off

- THE BLOOD PFFFFT

- I'm sorry but the gold lipstick they put on Apophis is so goofy

- I forgot how agonizingly slow and boring the original intro is compared to the music

- JACK!!!!

- PFFFFT. THE TELESCOPE SHOT

- I know I've done pretty much nothing but make fun of the show so far but that's because the first season is rough ok, I do love it though

- ah General Hammond, little does he know he's about to recruit one of the 4 biggest pains in the ass of his life

- if the gate was buried, how does Daniel get the tissue box?

- I wonder what they've been doing at the SGC this whole time anyway, I mean until this stuff happens they'd believed the gate only went one place and theh believed it to be destroyed soooo

- also I literally just watched the movie, but I don't remember seeing a DHD over there so I'm assuming that also just wasn't figured out yet

- ah fug Carter's cringy intro. I love her so much but this is awful and the actress herself said so too (thank god she did and fought for her to not do that shit again)

- you can see him fall head over heels for her like right there and then though

- I do find it pretty interesting how the gate travel sequence animation changes eventuallly

- also, what's with the fact they still get all frosty and shit initially but soon it becomes a thing they do no problem, step through the other side skipping and shit

- DANIEL!!!

- the entrance is in like a crater now, funky

- "Captain Doctor you're gonna love this" PFFFFT

- see I know everyone loves Sam & Jack, but everytime I see Sam and Daniel nerding out together they look like they're about to literally makeout

- oop here come the snake lads

- BRO GET YOUR FINGERS OUT OF HER MOUTH YOU THIEVING ASSHAT

- why is her name spelled Sha're here but Sha'uri in the movie?

- everyone huddling up hugging Daniel makes me wanna cry 😭

- it's just occurring to me how weird it is that the Apophis has set up shop in what looks to be a European style castle of all places

- this whole thing with the women being chosen as Apophis's bride is horrifying and I hate it and the nudity was entirely unnecessary. We did not need to be shown women being assaulted and violated and exposed to understand how horrible he is. We really didn't

- pffft you tell him Kawalski

- ugh I fucking hate the scene where Sha'uri is chosen

- wait did they cut out her being fully exposed? Thank god dude, nothing against her I'm just really uncomfortable with nudity

- poor Daniel, he just wants to tell people about the cool stuff

- aaaaaand now everything is greek?

- Apophis is just copying everyone's shit

- PFFFT that was the most ungrateful exit ever

- oop, one of the snake helmets lights are out

- y'all Jack having to lose Skaara after already losing Charlie is just so OUCHYYYYY

- they really just let that helmet be lights out

- "you are the first I believe can do it" AHHHHHHHHHH

- pffft Daniel and his crooked ass glasses

- "I have nowhere to go" "for this, you can stay at my place" god I love them so much I wanna scream

- it's so weird hearing Sam call him "Dr. Jackson" and him call her Captain

- Y'ALL THE MUZZLE FLARE IS SO BADDDD

- after watching the movie, the look Daniel gives Jack after he tells him to go is so much more intense

- ah hell Kawalsky getting infected is a big ouchy

- Daniel and Sam in sync AHHHHH

- Teal'c handing over his weapon to Sam no questions asked 😭

- HELL YEAH JACK, YOU FIGHT FOR YOUR BOO

- The Enemy Within

- pfffft the little exchange of looks between Jack and Kawalsky in the control room

- if matter can't reintegrate, what's the slamming sound? always wondered about that

- Jack's turtleneck shirt thing is so cute

- YOU STAND UP FOR OUR BOY JACK, YOU TELL EM

- this episode hurts my heart so much

- Daniel is so pretty in the og outfit tho, so baby girl

- Teal'c finding out that he's found the Tau'ri is so emotional y'all

- "then you are their greatest hope, and mine." I'M NOT TEARING UP YOU ARE

- everyone is such babies here it makes me wanna cry

- I'm sorry but the way he just tosses Carter is hilarious

- Charlie's in this show are cursed, first Jack's kid, then Kawalsky

- YOU TELL HIM GENERAL

- Teal'c is such a trooper man, he's just letting them use his symbiote (the thing that keeps him alive) to test anesthetics to save Kawalsky

- the way Jack is so soft with his men arms my heart, this military man without hesitation holds Kawalsky's hand and I love him for it

- they've really got zero lights in half these sugery shots

- ah hell, the false hope here HURTSSSS

- I hate Kennedy so much, LEAVE

- poor Teal'c, he thinks he's made a friends and gets attacked instead :(

- Walter buddy, you tried and I'm proud of you

- YES TEAL'C, YOU STAND YOUR GROUND YOU WONDERFUL BADASS

- "I need two ranking officers to override" never gets old

- Jack having to give the order that kills his friend is AHHHHHHH

- "he was your friend." "My friend died on the table." HELP

- I'm gonna cry, the team together on the ramp for the first time ahhhhhhhhhh

- Emancipation

- I HATE this episode

- poor Carter y'all, she's put through the damn wringer in this

- Daniel I adore you but shut tf up you're not the one being asked to shut up and cover up under penalty of violence or death

- DANIEL, SHUSH

- Jack you aren't helping

- JACK. DANIEL SHUT UP. PLEASE.

- the fact that this is the first mission they go on as a team is ASS. Yes they do good shit at the end but still.

- you know what, no one is making me watch this and I don't want to soooo SKIP

- The Broca Divide

- this is episode 4???? Damn I remembered this beingf a bit later for some reason, but I feel like that with most episodes tbh

- it gets a bonus for introducing Dr. Frasier

- Daniel is the only one with self preservation rn, who tf goes through to an alien planet that is so dark the malp couldn't see a damn thing

- good point, why tf doesn't the malp have a night vision mode

- pfffft Daniel's little wave of submission

- ugh god I love the intro music so much, 10 seasons over a dozen times and I still love it

- DANIEL, SHUT IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THAT'S HOW STUFF USED TO GO, IT'S NOT HAPPENING NOW

- pfffft Daniel's stuttering

- Teal'c catching that punch like a BADASS "general I would prefer to not hurt this man" AHHHH

- DANIEL AND THE TURTLENECK SHIRT THING

- SG-1 is just so pretty

- uh oh locker room scene

- Dr. Frasier!!!!!

- poor Daniel :(

- Janet calling Teal'c "Mr. Teal'c" is so cute

- ahhhh Daniel is so sassy I love it

- I'm sorry but Daniel helping to restrain Jack is hilarious considering how easily Jack absolutely MANHANDLES him in this show

- "I am not Lucy" XD

- ah yes, one of the many episodes where Daniel is carried around like he weighs 2 lbs

- the first person he calls for is Jack 😭

- The First Commandment

- this episode is pretty wild honestly, plus like, Sam lore???

- Connor immediately collapsing once he knew he was safe with SG-1 is just so AHHHH

- "this tastes like chicken" "what's wrong with it?" "It's macaroni and cheese"

- "I guess I've always had a soft spot for the lunatic fringe"

- I love how Daniel and Sam are always yappin together

- "we should have stopped her" "we would have failed" pfffft

- YEAH SAM GET HIS ASS

- just shoot him in the leg Sam!!!!

- every single time they try and show people that Teal'c is friendly is cracks me tf up

- Teal'c reaction to his drawing being complimented is so cute help

- wooo! Revolting against false gods!!

- Cold Lazarus

- first planet we've seen that looks different than Earth which is cool

- the blue of the sky with the yellow ass sand hurts my eyes

- Pffft Daniel not knowing if he's using the radio right cracks me up

- I wonder why Jack keeps all that stuff in his locker, like having some photos at work yeah, but the wedding ring and notes? Why not at home?

- I'm sorry Jack/Sam shippers, but every time I see Sam and Daniel working together being all nerdy and completely ignoring the concept of personal space, AHHHH

- oof this episode is so awkward and painful

- pffft the random side plot of Teal'c learning about Earth through the tv is so funny to me

- SAM AND DANIEL ARE SO CUTE HELP, the way they sprint into Teal'c room together all excited, AHHH

- Sara's dad is so sweet about what he thinks is Jack and what he's going through

- y'all, entity Jack holding Charlie's things and rocking, OUCHIE

- god Sam and Daniel are so chaotic together, such mutual enablers

- PFFFT everyone's faces when the real Jack comes through the gate XD

- the fact that literally none of this is ever brought up again is really annoying

- The Nox

- I love the Nox

- Daniel trying to get information from the Nox and failing terribly is so funny

- Apophis sucks

- the costume design for the Nox is so good

- I can't tell if the green in the fire is a chemical thing they did or a greenscreen being behind it

- Daniel covering Sam up 😭

- PFFFT TEAL'C WITH A DAMN LOG

- Brief Candle

- I hate this episode honestly

- the fact is O'Neill gets drugged and raped and no one talks about it

- skipping

- Thor's Hammer

- Jack diving to try and save Teal'c 😭 I love those two so much

- I love Gairwyn, she's fantastic

- the fake thor looks so goofy 😭

- ahhhh I love the Unas lore so much

- I love Jack and Teal'c so much y'all, the way that they stand side by side through anything, the ultimate duo

- The Torment of Tantalus

- ahhhh this episode is so good!!!!

- them realizing that they weren't the first to go through and someone actually got stranded out there??? CHILLS

- CARSON!!!!

Season 2

[blogfromthedead]

May 8th, 2024

Hi, Evie here. I maybe forgot to update the blog yesterday. Oops. Nothing happened which... is kind of rare but heavily welcomed. As for today, it was mostly just a doc visit with my PCP. It went really well! Although its scary how much the human body can change over time. My vision has gotten way worse and I am now realizing that. Maybe I'll be fortunate and be able to afford some really cute glasses. Fingers crossed! My weight is steadily dropping. It's really not great to have an ED. I am extremely obsessive over calorie counting and exercise; to a point where I walk everywhere I go even if that may take an entire hour. I just wish I could see it more internally. I have dropped 55lbs over 7 and a half months and yet... I don't see a difference. I can feel it. I can only visualize it by the clothes that no longer fits. Tomorrows is my birthday. I don't plan on doing much by myself, and I don't really have many to celebrate it with. Originally thought about going out with some IRLs after talking about it before but then they sort of cancelled on me. It's ok. I know they are going through some stuff at home with their cats. I hope they're doing okay. So I will be at home alone with a bottle of soju, a buffalo chicken stromboli, and some cheesecake I think. I normally don't like spending this much on food for myself but... special occasion y'know? I think I will be extremely pretentious tomorrow in my blog. I'll open up about my relationship with birthdays and their importance to me. I hope that I may see you around for that. If I don't, that's ok. Life comes at you quick and setting an expectation of commitment can be hard. I mean hell, I accidently forgot about my commitment to write here.

That's all for today I think.

Thanks for stopping by if you see this, and I hope things are going well for you.

Have a great day. Have a great night.

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

For kicks and giggles, here's the short story I started two years ago apparently and just now...finished? I feel like it's finished for now, but maybe I'll change my mind two years from now - who knows.

It should be obvious what inspired this, because I did not even try to hide it! Oops, I don't have a title for this. Too bad.

The bar seemed too small as the room crowded with dancing couples and people trying to be couples; the two women were lucky to find an open two-person table, and they had to keep subtly scooting their drinks away from the table edges when dancing couples would get overzealous.

The problem, actually, was not that the bar was too small; the problem was that they shouldn't have been sitting down in the first place. They shouldn't have wanted, or needed, to sit down. They should have been out there dancing, too.

“God,” Carina said after she swallowed her drink and went to set the glass back on the table, then opted to swirl the brown liquor around in her glass instead. “You would think when we came here separately with our guys, that they would have the decency to stick around and participate in these 'dates'.” She hinged her fingers in the air around the word “dates,” apparently to indicate that what they'd originally came here for was over.

Charley, who introduced herself to Carina as Harley when she first joined her at the table, blew out a sigh, causing her black side bangs to rustle for a moment before settling back in the same place against her light brown face. She sat back in her chair and nodded. She looked bored out of her skull.

“You're damn right. But god, who knew those guys would be such bores? Or–” she sat up again, bracing her elbows against the black wooden table top. “Sorry, was yours boring? Maybe I'm just projecting here.”

Carina snorted and finally set her glass back on the table with a soft clink.

“Nope – mine was boring. He's young, too, and super cute, but it's like he never knew what to say to me. Never asked about me, even though he knows I'm a musician and he must know I've been all over. It seemed like he didn't even have much to talk about. Just said the same few things – what he does, what his hobbies are, how much he's dated – over and over again, like he ran out of shit to say. He never even bothered to ask me anything.”

“Ugh.” Harley dragged an irritated hand over her face. “That's the worst. It's like, it's so great when a young, cute guy is into you, but then you realize that he has like no dating experience, or he's completely self-centered, or both, and then the date just goes to shit and you end up feeling like you wasted your time.”

Carina nodded, her eyes lowered, thinking. After a few seconds, she let her gaze drift toward the center and sides of the room where people danced exuberantly and sensually together, while others stood at the sides – the men with their forearms resting against the wall above their heads, caging the women in, causing the shorter women to adopt meek eyes – chatting. Then she said, “I guess I'm still waiting for a sign from one of my kind.”

The pale woman waited a few beats before turning to look Harley in the eye, and when she did, it felt to her as though the room stood still. Harley gave her a knowing, if mischievous look, as a smirk began to slowly form on her face. Carina almost forgot to breathe, so intense was the look on Harley's face.

And then, just as Carina was subtly expecting, Harley moved her hand cautiously across the table, palm down, her fingers relaxed, and the mahogany shade of her squoval-shaped fingernails distracted Carina for a moment, until Harley spoke. “Who needs men, anyway? You think they're the only ones who know how to have fun?” A flash of irritation in her deep brown eyes at the mention of men quickly turned to soft, seductive implications.

When Carina didn't move or respond – only imperceptibly widened her umber eyes at Harley's forwardness – Harley returned her hand to her side of the table and suggested, feigning nonchalance, “You can tell me all about what it's like to be a world-famous musician,” this time with a much gentler smirk on her face, as though she had every intention of asking her about this...later.

Finally, Carina cracked, letting out a low laugh. “Yeah, right – world-famous in my dreams.”

“Hm,” Harley responded casually, as though this didn't bother her. “Tell me about your dreams, then.”

[HAIKYUU!!] Season 2 episode 7

I thought they were trying to sneak out for a moment there lol. This reminds me of when I had to wake up at an ungodly hour to get ready for a school field trip

Sugamama concerned for the couple lmao

Hmm? Wat was that bout tsuki huh? What's with the look?

Pft- at least the tower actually kinda looks like tokyo tower, with the colors and all. HSKSHSK kageyama looks so disappointed that its not tokyo tower

LEV MY GUY 😭

Did karasuno ever tried practicing together as a team after they all did their individual practice? If not then I don't see how this will go well...

COME ON!— AH FUCK, so they didn't practice as a team to see how their individual training pays off as a whole group

OMG HINATA YES!! LET'S GO

Now, are you two gonna talk shit out now?? Ya two dumbasses cant keep giving each other the silent treatment

EYO ASAHI! OOF it's ok you'll get the next one!

Ah- well that's embarrassing... it is their first time trying that out

DON'T WORRY NOYA YA AIN'T USED TO SETTING

I have to say tho, it's nice that we get see karasuno trying- and failing- out their new skills, it makes sense that they wont be able to do them perfectly on the court. That's what happens when you're trying something new, but the fact is they're trying and working to be better. Once they've figured out their new rhythm, they'll be crushing it i bet

Awww lil hinata and yama getting hyped just watching the other teams

HSKSHSKS LMAO KUROO

Hhhh oh boy, first the tension between kageyama and hinata, now tsuki and yama. I sort of know why tsuki is being like this (thanks to spoilers oop-) but it interesting to watch it happen

Kuroo, bokuto (i think that's his name?) he's very not interested... LMAO POOR LEV

Ah yes, provoking tsuki to get him to do whatcha want lmao

YES YACHI, WE KAGEHINA SHIPPERS THANK YOU

Finally tsuki is actually putting the effort, ya don't see that every day

LMAO POOR LEV 😭

Oh~ now that's what a blocker who practices is like! Tsuki take notes

Kuroo knooows, he knows tsuki has potential, its just that he's not putting any effort to care and help grow that potential

OH SHIT TSUKI BACKSTORY!! Ah, that's one of the scary possibilities that could happen to anyone who works hard in something they're passionate about; putting so much effort, trying so hard, but then never getting the chance to actually succeed in your passion or just failing miserably, which ends up making you feel like all that time and effort was wasted

"look at you, you are such a fat ass" LMAO yeah we needed that to break the ice HSKHSJS

Damn karasuno be getting their asses kicked

WATERMELON BREAK

Oh right i forgot tsuki said that; him being the moon while hinata is the sun imagery shit... IS THAT WHY THIS EPISODE IS CALLED MOONRISE?? OMG I GET NOW

Karasuno is slowly learning bout tsuki's past, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT GLASSES BOY

Tsuki i have no idea why you started talking to asahi bout how hinata might surpass him, but asahi didn't come back to be replaced just like that

Coach ya better intervene and push tsuki to trying more, cuz he will end up falling behind

OH SHIT- hinata sensed a greater presence than he and let the ball go

Tsuki getting left behind on the uphill run with only yama staying behind to wait up for tsuki, but keeps running once tsuki tells him to go, THE SYMBOLISM

YEAH YAMA, what would tell him, cuz its bout time ya knock some sense into ye boyfriend

[asktheluma]

((H5 with palette D1?))

((Someone gave Maaz some low quality chocolate and he’s not gonna eat it))

[withahappyrefrain]

Congrats on the 3k Abby!

I’m gonna do a combo move and ((ngl I am not sure if you wrote it before because sometimes I forget if our thots have been turned into fics or it’s just been you and I talking but it’s fine I can make a fool of myself if I forgot oops))

Thigh riding WHILE trying to patch mob!Peter’s wounds is still a thot that lives in my mind rent free

Aight I’ll see myself out now but congrats again!! 💕

First of all, Wicky, I love you so much you are so wonderful and kind and talented. 2nd, you are not the only one who wanted thigh riding with Mob!Peter so let's goooooo

18+, mention of blood, thigh-riding, mob!Peter has a daddy kink, also he's kinda a horndog

This is part of my 3K celebration! Come celebrate with me!

The sight of your husband coming home in blood was not something you could ever get used to.

However, you quickly learned the difference between when it was his own blood versus someone else's.

Tonight it was someone else's. At least on his shirt. The cuts on his body were all his own.

Peter also quickly learned that no matter how much he protested, you were always going to check his injuries from today's work.

Not that he would ever complain about you sitting on his lap.

"Can you keep your hands to yourself for five minutes?" You asked, glaring at your husband before returning your face to patching up the wound on his chest.

"Nope." Peter replied as his fingers continued to trace up your torso, getting closer and closer to your chest.

"I'm trying to make sure you don't bleed out in our bed tonight," You admonish him. It's not that you mind his hands; on the contrary, you love them.

Love how calloused they are, how strong they are. But they can be so soft, such as when he uses them to cradle your face and press his lips against yours when he first comes home from work.

You also love when they're not so gentle. When he uses them to hold your hips down as he devours you, his head between your thighs.

Which is what he did last night. The memory makes you clench your legs.

"And I'm just trying to enjoy my incredibly gorgeous wife, who also seems...." His fingers reached your breasts, squeezing them, "...to want to enjoy me."

"I don't know what you're talking about." You maintained a straight face as you laid another bandage to his chest. You lean over to reach for another wipe, when a large, ringed hand grabs your wrist.

"No?" Peter asks, feigning disappointment.

"I am focused on patching you up Parker," You replied, firm and steady, trying to ignore how good it felt when he was touching your chest.

"Really?" Peter looked down at his glass of whisky before looking back at you, "Then stand up."

He couldn't be serious.

"Peter, I need to-"

"Stand up." His voice was deep and gruff from the whisky. For a brief moment, you debated saying no and continuing to patch him up.

Sometimes Peter enjoyed the game of cat and mouse you two would play. It was the first thing he noticed about you; you were unfazed by the money and power he could easily wield. You weren't impressed by that. Which made him feel like that lanky, awkward teenager from Queens who struggled to just talk to his crush from biology.

But his honeyed eyes were dark tonight. It had been a long day. He didn't want to play games tonight.

So you stood up, situating yourself between his legs. Peter's hand reached underneath your night slip, his brow furrowing when he felt more fabric instead of skin.

"Someone forgot Daddy's rule," You heard him mutter.

"Someone was too focused on making sure Daddy didn't bleed out and-" before you could finish your smartass comment, you were pulled back into Peter's lap, this time straddling one of his legs.

"You're right, silly me." The smile on his face almost fooled you. There was something in his tone- mischievousness- that told you he was far from done with you.

For a moment, you stood there, staring. Waiting. When your husband didn't make a move, you leaned forward to check on the cut that was adorning his collarbone-

A broken gasp ripped from your throat upon feeling friction against your clothed core. Your eyes meet Peter's, an impish tint cast over his dark orbs.

"What? I'm not stopping you, my dear," He smirked. Your eyes narrowed, waiting for him to begin moving his leg again. You were about to lean forward and stopped, trying to see if you could catch him.

Peter just continued to stare and smirk.

"Oh fuck, Peter!" You truly thought were in the clear. But then Peter gripped your hips and began grinding your core against his pants. The fabric of your panties dug into your skin, creating even more friction.

"What was that, dear?" Peter queried, taking in the sight of you on his lap, your composure faltering more and more each time he moved his leg up and down.

"Y-you.....you're," Words were becoming incredibly difficult. Half the time, you were biting your tongue to stifle a moan, "Y-you're hurt."

"I'm fine," Peter gritted through his teeth, "But ya know what would make me feel better? You."

He was right. Peter had been dealt with worse blows. And fuck, he felt so good.

What was a little blood on your bed?

You crashed your lips onto his, gripping the locks in his hair.

"B-Bed. Now." You moaned.

Peter shook his head, "Not yet. I wanna play."

disclaimer again!! i wrote this a long time ago. i know there are things that need to be fixed and things that don’t fit right. i plan to edit this story more in the future but today is not that day :)

You took a shaky breath in as you stopped midway of putting a clean sheet on the bed Mikasa would be sleeping in. The room still had some of her old stuff in it, it's just no one ever came in here after she left. You looked around at all the items she left behind. Smiling fondly at an old picture of you two, you noticed a small figure crossed out in the background. Glancing at the rest of the photos on the shelf, you noticed that every photo had something crossed out.

After looking at each picture, you came to the conclusion the figure was Jean. She must have only taken the photos without him and did this to the rest. You frowned and walked back to the bed. Carefully, you climbed onto it and propped a few pillows up to support you as you leaned back.

For the first time in two years, you got a good look around the room. On the side of the room with the door, there was a large glass window overlooking the balcony above the living room. You always found it strange that she chose a room like that when she usually kept those blinds shut. Her bed was in the middle of the room with a tv mounted on the wall across from it. On the other side of her bed, there were a couple of bean bags below the bay window that looked out on the driveway.

You sighed and took out your phone, pulling up old texts with Mikasa. The last time you texted her was three months ago when you got too drunk at one of Reiner's ragers.

mikasa

mikasas pleasdse

come home

i miss you

i miss you so much

we all miss you so much

come home to me.

She didn't respond to that and you wouldn't know if she even looked at it. She turned her read receipts off for everyone after the first week of trying to contact her. The only time she had ever contacted anyone was two weeks after she left the house.

Don't look for me. Don't contact me.

You got a lot of your friends asking if you got the same message. She sent the same thing to everyone who tried to get in contact with her. You still didn't know where she was or what she was doing. The only thing you knew was that she was coming home the next day. You sighed. Suddenly, you didn't feel like cleaning anything else. You briskly walked out of her room and dialed the number of your best friend.

"Hey, Y/n! What's going on?" Sasha's cheery voice rang through the line.

"Hey hey, Sasha. I'm doing great. At least, I think I am. Do you wanna go somewhere? You can pick me up? Or I can pick you up if you like."

"I'll come to pick you up, honey bunny, don't you worry." You heard her struggling with her keys on the other side of the line and snorted at the noise.

"Need some help, Sash?" You grinned while skipping steps.

"Fine, thanks." She grumbled. "I'll be there in fifteen! You stay put!" She briskly hung up.

Sasha had been your best friend ever since Eren's nineteenth birthday party. She caught you and Eren coming back inside just as she was about to leave, with half the pantry in her arms. She asked for your number to make plans to hang out and chat sometime. You happily obliged, which was probably the happiest thing you had done that night.

You tossed your phone onto your bed as you walked into your room. Your room was on the first floor. You got first pick since you were the one who inherited the house. The house was big and beautiful. It was also on a lake. Perfect for the parties Eren and Jean loved to host. Perfect escape from paparazzi.

Your room had big glass doors that opened to the balcony that wrapped around the back of the house. You had a great view of the lake. The room was painted white. There was a black marble fireplace in one wall with a small wardrobe you used for storing memorable items to the band. You didn't need to use it for clothes since you had a walk-in closet in the big bathroom you partly shared with your bandmates. Jean liked to use the large bathtub.

You collapsed onto the bed and stared into the vanity mirror next to it. It was then when you realized you were still in your pajamas. "Oh shit." Your eyes widened as you hurriedly stumbled over to the closet, falling over once.

You grabbed a pair of baggy sweats and a big t-shirt. With duck socks, of course. The outfit didn't look much different than your pajamas but Sasha would probably be wearing something similar.

You threw your hair into the easiest hairstyle you could muster. You grabbed your boots and hopped up and down while trying to put them on while also leaving the room. "Jesus." You muttered.

Your phone vibrated, signaling that Sasha was here. "I'm heading out with Sasha! You're on your lonesome!" You called out to wherever Armin was in the house.

"Okay! Don't be back too late!" He shouted back.

You laughed aloud as you realized how much he sounded like a dad. You opened the front door and ran to Sasha's car. "Let me in!" You knocked on the passenger window as she reached around to find the button that unlocks the door. Once it was unlocked, you swung open the door and hopped inside.

"Nice outfit," was the first thing she said to you. You glanced at her outfit and scoffed. Your predictions were correct, she was wearing something similar.

"Gee, thanks." You gave a lopsided smile and rolled your eyes.

"Where to, honey bunny?" Sasha said, giving a mock salute while her other hand rested firmly on the steering wheel. You giggled and thought about it. You called her on such a whim that you forgot to even plan anything.

"Uh how about Brain Freezes? I could really use a catch-up with Connie right about now." You suggested.

"That sounds like a great idea! Turns out you do have a brain up there." Sasha snickered.

"Oh good one, because you're the real genius here, clearly."

After a lot of lighthearted banter, you arrived at Connie's workplace. Sasha aggressively grabbed the door handle and slammed it open, causing the bell to fall off its perch and land on your face. "Oops." You grimaced and bent down to pick up the bell. You rang it in front of her face.

"Sasha! Y/n! My two favorite customers!" Connie jumped up and down on the other side of the counter. "How can I assist you ladies today?"

"I'll have the usual." You gave a half-hearted smile, head still impaired from the bell. Sasha had quite the habit of accidentally hurting you.

Sasha snatched the bell from your grasp and started ringing it. She announced her very long order that you could barely keep up with, but Connie was used to this kind of thing, especially with her.

You noticed one of his coworkers scowling at Sasha. You didn't like Floch, to say the least. He was always inviting himself to your parties but he was rude to all of your friends at the same time. He noticed your gaze and smirked.

He strutted over to where you stood, pretending to become very interested in toppings. "How are you, Y/n? It's been a while huh?" He leaned over your shoulder in a way that workers shouldn't with their customers. You made a hasty effort to slip away from his presence.

"It really hasn't. I came here last week. I come here every week and you say that every time." You usually tried to be nice to Floch, but today you didn't feel like being nice.

"Well, even a day without you feels like an eternity." He flirted horridly. You stared blankly at him until he awkwardly cleared his throat and traded spots with Connie at the register.

Connie took off his apron and handed you and Sasha your orders. "Sorry about him. That guy really can't take a hint even if it's right in front of his face." He shot Floch a venomous glare. "Luckily, you guys got here right as my shift ended! Wanna get out of here?" His previous anger seemed to dissipate in an instant.

"Yeah, I do! Where should we go?" Sasha beamed with her spoon still in her mouth.

"Can we just drive around? I've got something I wanna tell you guys." You played with your spoon in the ice cream, averting eye contact.

"Sure thing, Y/n. Let's go." Sasha and Connie said in unison.

Sasha let you drive her car since she was preoccupied with her mountain of ice cream. Connie didn't have a car, he failed his driver's test every time he took it. You'd think he'd learn most of the material by now. "Hey, Y/n?" He asked from the backseat.

"Yeah?" You nodded to him.

"Are you gonna finish that?" He said, referring to your cup of ice cream in the front cupholder. You sighed.

"Go ahead." He thanked you over and over as he leaned over and snatched it.

"So, Y/n? What was it you wanted to tell us?" Sasha wiped her hands on her pants and set the empty container in an extra cupholder.

You gripped the steering wheel harder then relaxed. You took a shaky breath in. "Mikasa is coming home tomorrow."

Connie started choking on your ice cream. "I know, I had the same reaction." You quipped.

"Mikasa..is...WHAT?" Connie managed between coughs.

"After all this time? It's been two years. Tomorrow? That's so sudden! Are you even ready to see her?" Sasha's mouth was gaping open. You leaned over and shut it for her.

"Yes, tomorrow. I still have to get the house ready. I couldn't even make it through her old room without calling you. Jean told us this morning. I don't think we should be worried about me being ready to see her. I think we should be more concerned about her and Jean." You informed. "But, then again, she told Jean about her return first. Plus he's picking her up tomorrow at the airport. So based on that, I think they're on better terms."

"You don't think they'll get back together, do you?" Connie said, his eyebrows furrowing.

You snorted. "Of course not. You know Jean is with Marco now, and he seems pretty happy with him. They've been together for two years now, probably longer if I'm being honest."

"Then what do you have to worry about?" Sasha asked, confused.

"Are you joking? I mean, what if she has found someone? What then? What if she quits the band forever? What if we argue? She dropped off the map two years ago. Completely. She stopped responding to me, to all of us. For two years I thought she lost her interest in everything and went to live a new life, with people better than me. And now she's coming back, out of the blue! It's too much." You stressed.

Connie and Sasha made quick eye contact. "Y/n, I think you're reading too far into it. I doubt anyone could lose interest in you. You're too cool! Let's look on the bright side, she's ready to come home and you finally get to see her again," Sasha said in an attempt to lift your spirits. You smiled graciously. You really were lucky to have a friend like her. "Right, Connie?" She gestured to Connie who looked very deep in thought.

"Didn't you and Mikasa go out in high school?" You almost crashed the car from the shock of the question.

"Briefly, yes. But we weren't 'going out' so to speak. We just, like, made out a couple of times." You could feel your face grow hot at the subject. You thought you were over your crush on Mikasa, but after hearing that she was coming home, the familiar feeling was coming back.

"You're going red, Y/n. I think it was more to you than just a make-out." Connie grinned while Sasha wiggled her eyebrows.

"You're totally in love with Mikasa!" Sasha sang.

"Shut up, you two. I don't wanna get into the details right now." You couldn't even try to hide your heated face since you were the one driving the vehicle.

"Not right now? So maybe somewhere down the line, you will?" Sasha raised her eyebrows and broke out into another infectious grin.

"Whatever, Sash. Enough about Mikasa and me. I really wanna hear about you and Niccolo." You gave her a similar grin while she slowly turned red.

"Nice one, Y/n!" Connie cheered.
