Bubble Bath? WHERE??

By: J

Oh god lopt what have you dONE-

[disclaimer; do NOT put bubble bath in the toilet, it can clog pipes!]

(no tws)

i uh, haven’t actually wrote like this in a while huh? sorry this actually kinda sucks ass but it was haunting my brain.

(this is ur reminder that im not a writer btw)

uh lopt adopts a stray cat (no animal abuse i cant write that shit /srs) and puts bubble bath in the toilet bc he wants attention idk im not good at summeries

im sorry to all who reads this

—————

lopt could be, for lack of a better term, needy. 

mason, since he had met lopt, had always referred to lopt as a cat, considerring how he could want all the attention in the world one moment, then want to be alone for 100 years the next.

today was the former.

mason had been working on more pages for “conspiracy theory” for hours now, this dissatisfied lopt.

he didnt know everything about humans, but he knew that he often got tired of paperwork, so he knew (or at least assumed) that mason was overworking himself.

logically, according to lopt at least, he walked into the ‘office’ mason was working in, and started to bother him with random questions.

“hmmm would you say that being a journalist is comic or tragic?” he spoke 

“a pain in the ass is what it is” mason said before erasing another line

“no but really, what do you think it isssss”

mason stayed quiet for several minutes, sighing several times as he kept trying to rework his sentences.

lopt sighed, “fine, fine, i get your busy and all, but couldnt you at least take a liiiiittle break?” lopt said with a semi pleading voice

mason erased the same line again, staring at the page, before turning his head up to lopt, he sighed aswell,

“no, i cant. im sorry. you know i love you and all, but this is important. you *know* this.”

lopt looked at his eyes, seeing the exhaustion

“cmon not even 10 minutes? please???” lopt pleaded with his lover

“i will once i get to a place i can stop, and if youre going to stay and here, please try to be a little quieter”

mason hated scolding lopt, but sometimes he had to be treated as a child to make him understand.

and sometimes it backfired.

lopt sighed and walked out of the door behind mason, giving one glance at him before shutting the door behind him.

he went back up to his room to think of anything to do since his partner was busy, he knew that his work was important to him sure, but he couldnt understand just why he pushed himself to do it so much.

after an hour of laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, he decided to bring mason some fruit, it was partly an attempt to bring his boyfriend out of the room, but also just because it had been hours and he knew for a fact mason wasnt eating in there.

(UNRELATED BUT MY CAT IS SCREAMING RN AS I WRITE THIS AND HE FUCKINF WAS SCRATCHING ST THE DOOR NOB IM SOBBING HIW IS HE THAT LONG, HE JUST STRETCHED UP THERE ANYWAYS BRB TO GIVE HIM ATTENTION)

(alr back)

lopt cut up strawberries and peeled an orange for his partner, knocking in the door before opening it.

he sat the plate down on masons desk in front of him, hoping to draw his attention.

mason looked up 

“oh god what did you do.” 

“wha- i? nothing??? i didnt do anything? is it wrong to want to give you something to eat?” lopt fake pouted 

mason sighed “well thank you, but seriously. what did you do.”

“i didnt do anything! promise! not yet at least…” lopts voice trailed off

“uh huh…if you say so..” mason sounded like he didn’t believe him

lopt being and idiot that thought on the spot started to speak again;

“im gonna go onna walk okay? wanna come with?”

mason stared at lopts face, 

“its pissing cats and dogs outside, lopt. youre gonna get a cold”

(HELLO GAY PERSON SHO REFRENCE HOW ARE YO-) (srry not srry 🥰)

lopt sighed “ill be fine i swear! its not like..ill get hit by some truck..or.something….?” 

(i feel deja vu writing this line wtf)

lopt cut mason off “so im assuming that means you dont wanna come with?”

mason rubbed the bridge of his nose

“i love you, but no. i already will have to deal with one sick dumbass, better

not make it two”

lopt pouted before kissing mason on the cheek saying he’d be back soon enough.

he walked up the stairs to his room, he didnt really know why he said he was going to take a walk, it was raining like hell, and (catlike) lopt didnt prefer to get wet.

he sighed grabbing his house keys and phone just in case, before he walked out of his door he grabbed his wallet aswell, just out if habit.

lopt grabbed ‘his’ (more like masons community jacket) jacket, pulling the hood up and walking out the door, quietly shutting it behind him.

he walked down the side walk at a normal pace and past the park, 1/4 of a km down, he seen a cat, it looked to be 1-2 years old, missing half its right (front) leg and its left eye, it looked like a grey tabby, it seemed…familiar, to lopt.

it was stuck between two very narrow buildings, why would anyone even leave such a narrow gap? lopt helped free the cat, petting it (and just looking at it) he could see that the poor thing was soaked, gods know how long it was stuck there.

the cat purred and rubbed around lopts now wet pant legs, it was quite friendly, but he also knew that this cat was indeedly a ‘stray’, he had seen the cat one day, he looked around for its owner before a nice old lady informed him that she was a stray cat since her owner had died.

he picked up the cat, now deciding to go over to the pet store 3 blocks down (idk blocks i dont live in a place that has them sorry!)

now holding her, the cat snuggled into lopts semi wet t shirt that was now exposed from the zipper of his jacket accidentally being pulled down.

now walking, he tried to remember what the lady said, “something something her owner died of an overdose” he couldnt recall if it was said if it was on accident or not.

he also remembered the lady saying how no one would take the cat in, even after begging, it was mostly apartment complexes that didnt allow animals sure, but did no one really try?

he walked into the pet store, cat in hand/arms, he picked out a small bag of food, and some small toys, he would have to come back to get litter and such after he leaves the cat at home.

he payed for the items and started walking back, in another store window, something caught his eye.

(dont ask this is illogical but fuck it why not! for some context lopt is carrying the bags with one hand and cat in the other, chill ass cat)

it was bubble bath, typically meat for kids sure, but what was lopt if not a kid turned into a god (what)

(just assume they allow animals in there idk at this point 😭😭)

with on hand/arm lopt picked up around 5 bottles of bubble bath, he didnt have a plan in mind sure but he’d figure out some use for it.

lopt payed (again somehow only doing this with one hand) and left to go back home.

struggling to open the door, he set the bags down, twisting the knob, picking up the bags, and walked in.

he sat down the bags on the dining table, and decided to go show mason the cat.

.

.

“lopt you do know i’m allergic right?”

lopt was shocked, 6 months of dating and he never knew that?!

“i- what- n-no. i” lopt fumbled over his words, he knew the cat had lived im the streets for a while now, he couldnt just put it back out there!

“calm down-“ mason said before sneezing “its pretty mild anyways, its not like ill die or something”

lopt had some tears in his eyes, scared of having to pick between his boyfriend or a cat, he was never a great decision maker

“s-so we /wont/ have to let the cat go…?” he asked with some hope in his voice

“no we wont have to let the cat go” mason said slightly laughing “im shocked youre so attached to it anyways honestly” he seemed to find some amusement in lopt, a god, who had been alive for hundreds of thousands of years, was worried about having to let a cat go.

“i- well!” lopt said playfully frustrated, 

sighing “how about you help me go set up some food and water

for it okay?”

“sure sure, you gotta litter

pan?”

“no im gonna go back out to get that”

mason stood up “alright alright” mason said putting his hand out for the cat to sniff, before petting her.

they used normal bowls for the cats food and water since it wasnt like they had food bowls yet, lopt pet the cat and went back out to get some litter for her.

on the walk there, he contemplated just what to do with all the bubble bath he bough, and a plan came to his mind, he knew mason still only came out of his room to watch the cat and help set up the food and water, he went back to working on his book thingy right after.

if mason wasnt going to give him attention, then he’ll have his own fun.

he bought litter, a litter pan, and a few extra things such as a few more toys, extra food, a harness and leash, etc.

he knew exactly what he was going to do.

he walked back, he decided to put the litter pan in the half bath down stairs so the cat wouldnt have to go up and down stairs to eat and shit all the time (kill me now 😭😭)

the cat seemed nowehere to be found, he walked into masons now open room, finding the cat sleeping on the left side of masons desk.

this was the best chance to put his plan into action, he tried on more time to get mason out of his room, failing again.

sighing, he grabbed the bag on the table and walked up to the full bathroom upstairs.

he went over to the toilet, and squeezed 2 1/2 bottles of bubble bath into it. 

nothing seemed to happen.

(idk how bubble bath works sorry if this is wrong 😭😭)

he sighed, flushing the toilet, since nothing seemed to happen, he just had to wait until mason came back out, as he was going to leave he turned around, looking into the toilet, he seen an asston of bubbles starting to form.

he waited as it grew and grew, he decided to go get mason “to help” by time they both got back into the bathroom it had completely over flowed with bubbles.

mason and lopt both started to panic, lopt didnt mean for it to go this far, but the bubbles just kept going.

mason thinking fast, went down stairs and grabbed a mop.

he essentially attacked the bubbles (mopping them like normal.)

but they just kept coming.

and his arm was getting very tired.

he decided to set a timer for 10 minutes to wait until it got bad again then to mop them up.

mason repeated this several times, around 2 hours worth (12 times) before it looked mostly gone.

lopt decided to try and flush the remaining bubbles.

and it worked! no more bubbles in the toilet!

why hadnt they just thought of flushing it a second time.

mason high fived lopt and sighed.

“welp, back to work”

mason walked back to his office, lopt groaned, knowing that it would take mason even longer to finish his work now.

at least now they both have a cute cat to keep them company.

“ we’ll I never thought I’d see the day you beat someone up like that but damn … that shit was hooot” he says laughing .

You all started laughing and then decided it was time to go to the club.

You all walked in and you made your way to the bar .

“Hi can I please get a pina colada “ you said to the nice girl bartender.

“Of corse sweetheart and let me grab you some ice and napkins for your lip “ she said walking to the ice maker.

“ oh shit thank you I forgot it was busted “ you said kinda embarrassed.

“Of course “ she said hanging you the ice in a couple napkins and going to mix up your drink.

You held the ice to your lip and winced . It hurt a little just cause it was split open pretty bad .

“ here you go sweetie “ she says handing your your drink . You thanked her and handed her a twenty as a tip since it was and all inclusive resort meaning you didn’t have to pay for endless drinks . But since she was so nice she deserved it .

“ hey ma “ Chris said looking at you from where he was sitting at a plush booth table in the corner .

Hey you said walking closer to him.

He patted his lap telling you to sit down . You gladly took a seat on his lap and Lean back into his chest and sipped on your drink while everyone else was talking and drinking at the table .

“Seeing you fight like that made me so fucking hard ma” he whispered into your ear .

You turned your head to your mouth was at his ear . “ oh yeah and what you wanna do about that” you asked him seductively.

“I want to fuck you so hard your crying as I prove to you and every one else why I chose you over any other girl at that fucking school” she whispered deeply in your ear. Causing your Pussy to pulse and your breathing to accelerate.

“ how bout you make me your slut Chris, have me begging for you to fuck me harder as you choke me and slap me across the face while I call you daddy “ you whispered in his ear . The couple drinks you’ve had giving you a new found confidence with your words.

“Oh Fuck nah get up right now ma , you gonna tell everyone you are tired and wanna go to bed . Understood” he says in your ear sounding a bit angry.

“Hey guys I’m actually feeling pretty worn out and my lip hurts so we’re gonna head back to our room but see you guys in the morning .” You say at Chris gets up behind you .

“Okay y/n and Chris love you guys sleep well . Goodnight “ every one says as you guys say bye and walk out the club and back to your wing and get the elevator up.

As soon as the doors close Chris is on me hand on my waist gripping me like his life depends on it and his tongue dominates mine in the deep hot kiss as my leg moves around Chris’s hip and his hand moved under my dress and immediately slides his fingers over my soaking wet pussy that’s begging for him.

“God your fucking soaked , been thinking about daddy all night huh? Chris says so deeply in your ear you feel it in your chest.

You moan in response gripping his shoulders harder.

“Be a good girl and use your fucking words “ he spits out.

“Yes daddy Fuck i want you so fucking bad right now “ you say

“Good girl . You’ll get me as soon as we get in that room . Rough , deep and fucking torturous is what your gonna get” he says as he drops your leg and the doors open up . He grabs you and throws you over his shoulder making his way to the room with a purpose . He yanks your purse open and grabs the key and quickly unlocks the door. Thank god y’all don’t have next door neighbors since your room is off of a corner.

He throws you on the bed as you bounce and whine from the hard throw . He throws his shirt off and then he’s on top of you in seconds . You look up at him with half lidded eyes and his eyes are so dark and blown out from lust it makes you moan. He grabs your roughly by your neck pulling you down on to your knees next to the bed .

“Take my pants off ma” he says harshly .

You do as he says and then second you pull his pants and boxers down you gasp . You did not expect him to be this long and thick .

“Oh fuck there’s no way I’ll be able to take that “ you say

“Oh nah ma you can and you will . Or I’ll just make you “ he says huskily. You look up at him as you grab the base your hand not even being able to fully wrap around it. “ come on slut . Suck my dick like a good little girl” he says.

You take a shaky breathe as his hands move to hold your hair back. You take his tip in your mouth already struggling from how girthy he was.

“Come on ma take more I know you can “ he says deeply but softly.

You try your best to take more and just start gagging as the amount in your mouth fills up your mouth so full it hurts your jaw.

“Come on ma I’m not gonna tell you again . Take. More.” He says harshly yanking your hair .

You shake your head no at him knowing you just can’t take more in your mouth.

“Okay then just know you asked for it” was all he said before thrusting his dick into your throat making you gag continuously and start crying from the force of his dick hitting the back of the throat and the scary thing is it’s only half of him that’s in my mouth right now .

Drool in poring out of my mouth on my chin and he finally slows down in his thrusts and pull out I immediately starts choking and coughing trying to catch my breathe.

“Such a good girl for me ma” he praises you making you whine .

“Come in ma be a good girl and stand up for me “ Chris says as he puts his hand out for you to grab you do and he pulls up . His hands reach the bottom of your dress and pull in over your head exposing your bare tits to him and your lacy black thong.

“God Fuck ma. Taking me so well” Chris groans out as he slows his thrust coming down from his high.

He collapsed onto you causing you to giggle a little bit.

“Fuck that was so fucking good” you say in his ear.

“Best sex I’ve ever had” Chris says laughing a little.

“What do you say about taking a little bath “ Chris says as he starts to get up .

Sounds good to me but can you start it and then come a get me my legs feel like jello right now.

“Of course gorgeous I’ll be right back” he says as he walks to the bathroom to start the water and squirts some body wash on it to make it a bubble bath. After the big tub is filled he comes back and picks u up then helps you into the big tub as he gets in behind you.

“I’m glad I finally told you y/n . Keeping in how I felt for so long was really hard” Chris says as he makes circular motions in your chest with his fingers.

“Me too Chris , and hey Nick is okay with it so that’s good too” you say leaning back fully into him as the hot water soothe your tired body.

“Yeah the one thing is uhhh. How are you gonna to put in the beach in a bikini with all these hickeys he said laughing and admiring the work he did all over your body.

“Oh Fuck I didn’t even think about that.” You sighed.

“We’ll I did find this part of the beach on google that is like a big cave and it’s really cool we can just take everyone there and then no one will bother us” Chris says.

“Oooh sounds good to me . God everyone is gonna be dumbfounded when I take off my cover up tomorrow “ you say laughing.

“Yeahh true . But you look so hot covered in hickeys “ Chris says as his hand moves under the water to pull on your nipples.

“Mmm Fuck . You moan . Just wait till they see the scratches on your back” I say laughing cause I know those marks are deep .

“Oh fuck those are gonna hurt when I get in the water” he says .

“Ooooh yeah sorry about that” you say sounding a little sorry.

“Nah ma your good I loved that shit” he says as he starts messaging your tits and you relax into him.

“We should probably get out and get some sleep “ Chris says.

“Yeah I’m actually pretty tired” you say as you yawn.

“Aww fucked you tired did I” he says seductively.

“Yeah yeah whatever shut up “ you say as you moved to get out in shaky legs. And limp over to the towel rack to grab two towels for you and Chris.

You walk back over and hand him his towel as you both dry off and head to bed not even throwing in pajamas and climbing into bed .

Chris pulls you into him after he shuts off the lights.

“I can’t wait to tan tomorrow “ you say as you start to softly doze off.

“Me too ma . Me too” he says back as you both nod off.

More parts coming . This one is actually getting pretty fun too write .

Miki Lore

-Steven actually did some volenteer work with Professer Oak some years before becoming a trainer, this is when he and Miki met.

-Miki was quite shy and jumpy at first, but thanks to Steven working with her over time she came out of her shell and became alot more confident. This ended up with Miki choosing Steven as her human rather then the other way around. Not sorry Stevie boy, you are the chosen one and your fate is sealed.

-Thanks to the pair having a pre-established bond Miki grew strong VERY quickly. Wasn't long on their journey she outgrew her favourite hobby of letting Steven carry her around outside her ball in his shirt. (Going off the headcanon that her tail fire works like a ponyta/rapidash mane fire, since she trusts Steven it doesn't burn him)

More under the cut to prevent a wall of text!

-Miki ended up trying to copy alot of Steven's mannerisms as the two grew. Including but not limited to; trying to mimic a more human like posture and body language, teaching herself how to speak some basic human language (she could understand it all just fine), trying on wigs to look more like Steven and even trying to wear clothes!

-Miki has a friendly sibling rivalry with Ace (Mike's blastoise) and is also friendly with Mike himself. They even had a bit where she pretended she was gonna bite his head off when he wasn't looking to freak out strangers. (This was comedy gold to her).

-She was awake and aware during the trading accident (which happened in an actual pokecenter, the trading machine had been tampered with by a spiteful third party). While it was painful and scary she quickly came to her senses as a spirit and basically went "Minor inconvenience." to it. She doesn't hold any resentment to Mike.

-Once she realised communication from beyond the grave was out the question she looked for another way, this led her to an evil organisation who were trying to mix pokemon and humans together to make uncatchable super weapons.

-Curiously, she was able to communicate with an "AI" in charge of keeping the experiments stable during incubation to help sway the odds into her favour. Suggesting that perhaps taking a dna sample from a human already undergoing a transformation into a pokemon and then splicing that with pokemon dna would lead to the embryo surviving past incubation. (The "AI" is technically Glitchy but we get to him when we get to him.)

-Of corse she was referring to Steven, who at this point thanks to various factors was undergoing a slow change. (He'd even grown a functional tail at this point!). Once a blood sample had been retreived she once again suggested to mix it with a specific pokemon, anything from the charmander line.

-Her little scheme worked wonders, the new body was stable and she didn't need to worry about being controled by the evil folk, as the method of aquiring the blood sample had alerted Steven & company to their existance. Soon after settling into her new body the hideout was raided and the mysterious egg containing her was retreived. Along with the "AI" who helped her as they didn't like working for the bad guys but still wanted to live.

-Several years pass as she incubates again, but once she breaks out and finally reunites with her best friend turned father she looks ALOT more like him, just like she always wanted.

-Her apperance is that of a mostly human girl with some abnormal features, bright emerald green eyes, long and flowing amber hair that's a little wavy at the roots, tan-ish skin tone with small and glossy orange scales dotted about her body (a couple on her face to mimic freckles, back of her hands and feet, some lines of them on her neck, front of her thighs and knees, elbows and so on), a charizard like tail with more of that amber hair at the tuft just like her father, pointier nails and canine teeth.

-Her natural typing also shifted. From Fire/Flying from her Charizard days to Ghost/Fire. Her focus is in her lungs.

-Dispite all that she went through she retained her boisterous and rowdy nature. More then happy to try and pick fights to settle a problem where words and logic fail. She also butts heads to defend those weaker then her.

A bit more about Bernadotte, a tiny little crumb about Mortier

Just about a year ago, just before Bernadotte's birthday, I kept coming across new discoveries regarding the previous birthday boy, Ney. Well, discoveries new to me, anyway.

This year, coming up on Mortier's birthday, I keep coming across new discoveries regarding the previous birthday boy, Bernadotte. This latest one is from "Journal du comte Rodolphe Apponyi, attaché de l'ambassade d'Autriche-Hongrie à Paris", to be found on Gallica. Silly me, I forgot to note the page but it's round about page 15, and it's for the year 1844. It is shortish, so I will transcribe the extract in its entirety, followed by my own rough translation:

"Le roi de Suède est toujours mourant. Il a été si mal, ces derniers temps, que malgré sa défense expresse de ne jamais le saigner, de le laisser mourir plutôt que de faire cette opération, on l'a fait par ordre exprès de la reine, mais quel ne fut pas l'etonnement des assistants, en voyant sur ce bras royal quantité de tatouages cabalistiques et surtout, du haut en bas la phrase suivante en grosses lettres: "Liberté. Égalité. Vive la République!"

On m'a raconté, à ce propos, que lorsque Bernadotte a été en Corse, il a voulu épouser la fille d'un fermier parce qu'elle avait quelque argent; les parents de la jeune fille ne la lui ont pas accordée parce que lui n'en avait point et qu'il n'était que simple soldat. Cette femme vit encore: elle est si pauvre qu'elle est servante dans une petite maison bourgeoise où elle porte de l'eau et fait le gros ouvrage dans la cuisine!"

The King of Sweden is Bernadotte, of course. He did die in 1844, after spending 34 years successfully ruling Sweden, unofficially as the Crown Prince since 1810, then as the actual King from 1818.

Here is my translation of the preceding French text:

"The King of Sweden is still near death. He has been so ill of late that in spite of his formal command never to bleed him, to let him die rather than to carry out this procedure, the Queen ordered it to be done; but the medical assistants were astonished to see on the royal arm a multitude of cabalistic tattoos but especially, from top to bottom, the following phrase in large lettering: "Liberty. Equality. Long live the Republic!"

I have been told that when Bernadotte was stationed in Corsica, he had wanted to marry the daughter of a farmer because she had some money; her parents refused to grant his request, because he had no money of his own and because he was but a soldier. The woman in question is still alive: she is so poor that she is now a servant in a small bourgeois household, where she fetches water and works as a scullery maid."

Bernadotte did serve in Corsica before the Révolution. At the time, Corsica had not been part of France for very long and the political situation there was not terribly stable. I have not looked into this, but I wonder if he and Napoleon might have been there at the same time in the 1780s. I wonder too if Bernadotte knew about the Bonaparte family at least by reputation, as it had at least some degree of prominence on the island, and certainly much prominence in Ajaccio.

Regarding Bernadotte's tattoos, I have seen different versions of what the exact wording was - "Death to Kings" is what I have read elsewhere - where this particular tattoo was located (arm? chest?), and the reason for Bernadotte's reticence. I think it makes more sense that he did not want to be bled than the reason I have seen elsewhere, namely that he was embarrassed that his doctor would see the tattoo. By the time he was at death's door, somehow I doubt he would have cared that much about his doctor's opinion about very old tattoos - including the cabalistic ones, which I think referred to freemasonry symbols.

Now on to the Mortier crumblet.

I am still reading Philip Mansel's "The Eagle in Splendour" with pleasure and interest. I do have a bone to pick with him, which is that he does not sufficiently quote his sources. This drives me nuts when I want to find out more about any particular aspect of his book. I have no idea where the following information comes from, and it does leave me wondering.

On page 59, Mansel writes, concerning Napoleon's marriage to Marie-Louise:

"Throughout the round of glittering ceremonies, the Emperor and Empress were surrounded by members of the imperial family and, above all, of the court. Duroc, Berthier, Montesquiou and Marshal Mortier were especially prominent (...)."

Huh? Why was Mortier especially prominent at the time of Napoleon's second wedding? Why he, among all the Marshals? No surprise about Berthier, who had been sent to Vienna to finalise the marriage agreement and who had actually married Marie-Louise by proxy; but Mortier? And in what role? This doesn't seem to be something I will find out from Mansel. Not cool.

DIRGE

To the memory of Miss Ellen Gee, of Kew

Who died in consequence of being stung in the eye.

Peerless, yet hapless maid of Q!

Accomplished LN G!

Never again shall I and U

Together sip our T.

For ah! the Fates, I know not Y,

Sent midst the flowers a B,

Which ven’mous stung her in the I,

So that she could not C.

LN exclaim’d, “Vile, spiteful B!

if even I catch U

On jess’mine, rosebud, or sweet P,

I’ll change your stinging Q.

I’ll send you, like a lamb or U,

Across the Atlantic C,

From out delightful village, Q,

To distant OYE.

A stream runs from my wounded I,

Salt as the briny C,

As rapid as the X or Y,

The OIO or D.

Then fare thee ill, insensate B,

Who stung, nor yet knew Y;

Since not for wealthy Durham’s C

Would I have lost my I.”

They bear with tears fair LN G

In funeral RA.

A clay-cold corse now doom’d to B,

Whilst I mourn her DK.

Ye nymphs of Q then shun each B,

List to the reason Y;

For should a B C U at T,

He’ll surely sting your I.

Now in a grave L deep in Q,

She’s cold as cold can B;

Whilst Robins sing upon A U

Her dirge and L E G.

Had to google it and apparently I screenshotted it from The New Monthly Magazine Vol 23. Part 2 (1828).

Y’know what fucks me off to an inordinate degree? In the entire poem there’s not a single Z. I don’t mean in the abbreviations; I mean in the entire damn poem.

Anyway, you can read more about these types of poems here.

Helfert, Joachim Murat, Chapter 6, Part 1

Waiting won’t make it any better. Let’s get this over with.

6. The tragedy of Pizzo.

October 1815.

Ferdinand's unfortunate adversary had landed in the gulf of Frejus on May 28th, had stayed a few days in Cannes, then had gone to Toulon and had taken up residence nearby in a country house belonging to General l'Allemand. He had lived here as a simple private, but some of his followers had started to join him: in addition to his travelling companions Bonafour and Roccaromana, General Rosetti, all three of his former adjutants, the naval officers Blancard, Donnadieu, Langlade, one of his former orderly officers Obrist Maceroni, and finally a Corse named Galvani, whom Joachim later appointed as his confidential secretary.

It seems that Murat wrote to his imperial brother-in-law soon after the catastrophe at Tolentino, asking him for permission to come to Paris; Napoleon, however, had Monsieur de Baudus tell him that he was to choose a place to stay between Sisteron and Grenoble until the people of Paris were sufficiently prepared to see him again in their midst; it would also be advisable for the queen to appear before him "so that the public might become accustomed to his obscurity".

Here the author inserts a footnote in which he doubts the date of the letter he has just quoted from, April 19, 1815, and suggests dating the letter later, to April 29 or even May 19. Napoleon's current correspondence still lists the letter under the old date:

Paris, April 19, 1815. Note for the Minister of Foreign Affairs Baudus is to leave at once to go to the Gulf of Juan. He will tell the King of Naples that His Majesty wishes him to choose a suitable place between Grenoble and Sisteron to live in until the arrival of the Queen and until the news from Naples is determined. He will testify to him in honest and reserved terms the regrets the Emperor feels because the King attacked without any consultation, without treaty, without any measure taken to be able to instruct the faithful subjects of Italy of what they should do, nor to direct them in the direction of the common interest. The king decided last year the fate of France by paralysing the army of Italy, since it resulted in a difference of 60,000 men to our disadvantage. It is not very suitable that the king comes to Paris. The queen must come there before him, so that the public becomes accustomed to his disgrace. Baudus will console him and assure him that the Emperor forgets all his wrongs, however serious they may be, to see only his misfortunes. But he does not want him to come to Paris until everything that concerns him has been decided. Baudus is charged with this mission of confidence, because it is known that he is very agreeable to the king. He will correspond directly with the minister. He can tell everything about the private and political conduct of the king. Baudus, agent of the Emperor, must make him feel: That, if the Emperor had wanted him to enter Italy; he would have made known to him his understandings; That proclamations dated from Paris would have produced a completely different effect; That he lost France in 1814; in 1815 he compromised it and lost himself; That his conduct in 1814 lost him in the minds of the Italians, because they saw that he was abandoning the Emperor's cause.

This is, if the date is indeed correct, only four days after he ordered an investigation into Murat’s conduct in 1814. The tone seems to be somewhat friendlier. So, did Napoleon have a change of heart? Helfert continues:

From Toulon, Murat had sent a courier to Fouché to offer the Emperor his arm and his sword, but he had received a cool, evasive reply. In the meantime the ex-king's stay had grown more uneasy with each passing day, until at last the news of the event of Waterloo, June 18, brought the whole of south-eastern France into arms against Napoleonic rule. Murat had to find a hiding place, wrote to the departmental authorities, to whom he pledged calm behaviour, and wrote to King Louis XVIII, whose magnanimity and generosity he invoked. He turned again to Fouché, who might procure him a passport to England, where he would live quietly and subject to the laws as a private citizen while waiting to see what the sovereigns would decide about him. For the same purpose he sent Colonel Maceroni to the Duke of Wellington in Paris and approached Lord Exmouth with the request to take him under the protection of his flag. But Maceroni was arrested in Paris, and word came from the Admiral that he could only receive the ex-king on board his ship as a prisoner.

Murat's situation became increasingly dangerous. The royal commissary in Toulon, Marquis de la Rivière, whose life he had saved years before when he was one of Cadoudal's co-conspirators, but who now could not show himself sufficiently devoted to the old dynasty, ordered a police officer, Joly-Claire, to seize the person of the he-king; the latter, however, refused to carry out such a spiteful measure, for which he later lost his job. Even a price was offered on Murat's head, and the idea was spread among the populace that he was carrying immense treasure, in order to incite them still more against him. It was now decided by Murat's followers that the "king" should remain hidden on the lonely coast nearby, while they themselves would find an opportunity to bring him to Havre-de-Grace, from where he should return to Paris and place himself under the protection of the allies. The pursued man now wandered about for two days and two nights without a morsel of food, until he found lodgings with poor people, who recognised him, but did not betray him; for patrols passed through the whole region. He stayed in a hole in the ground, the entrance to which was covered by his protectors with wood and dry leaves.

In the meantime, his aides had managed to hire a merchant ship in Toulon, while the three naval officers were supposed to scout out his hiding place with Galvani and bring him to the beach. However, due to a misunderstanding, the rendezvous failed; by the time Murat arrived at the appointed spot, his men had long since set sail again and could no longer see the man wandering on the shore, who was now forced to return to his good-natured lodgers. Finally, on the 22nd of August, on the same day that Murat sent a new letter to Fouché from his deep concealment "du fond de son ténébreux asyle", the three naval officers succeeded in providing him with a small vehicle from Toulon, on which he entrusted himself to the waves with them. The waves were very high, however, so that the journey was fraught with danger. Then they discovered a merchant ship sailing for Toulon, towards which they drifted, calling to the captain to take them on board and, for good money, to set sail for Corsica instead of France. But they were not heeded and the ship brushed against them as it sailed past, so close that their frail craft was about to tip over and bury them in the waves. The daring sailors were already beginning to despair when, towards evening, they spotted the Balancelle, which provided the regular mail service between the French south coast and Bastia. The captain seems to have been in agreement or at least to have known that the Muratists were seeking passage to Corsica, had them approached and took them on board while the vessel they were leaving was sinking before their eyes.

About the last post I reblogged.

Here’s my take on the issues brought up. I didn’t want that reblog to be so long. Here is what I started typing.

There is a LOT I don’t like about how Horikoshi treats the girls in MHA. I’m absolutely not a fan of the little grape bastard either. And before anyone says anything about Kaminari. NO THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Kaminari May have done a few things that make me want to smack him, but his whole character does NOT revolve around being a pervert. As for Mineta, I see him as waisted potential. Horikoshi is a proud pervert though, so he would never turn his vent character into a life lesson on becoming a better person and learning to respect boundaries. It’s just not something men from his generation were taught. He really could be more responsible about it. He’s old enough to know better. But I can see why he hasn’t.

As for Bakugo and Endeavor. Baku really has had a great story arc. I really want him to reach the point where he can apologize to Deku for how he treated him. In his own Bakugo way of corse. I also want Deku to not be ready to forgive him when he does. Because Deku isn’t written as someone who seems to want to acknowledge what happendoutside of his own head I don’t think we will get that but... I want Bakugo to work for that forgiveness, for that friendship, and prove that Dekus years of admiration were worth it. Not just as a hero, but as a person. I think he can do it. And honestly? I want him to go to FUCKING therapy!!! I also want someone to call his mom out on her bullshit. I will never be over the fact she blamed him for his own KIDNAPPING! I will never get over how the school treated him at the sports festival and how we never hear about his parents (yes both of them) said anything or ever demanded an apology for the treatment of their child. This is a wonderful piece of world building to show just how whacked the system is by Horikoshi but god DAMN. Can we just get some acknowledgement that it was fucked? Ok, done with Baku. Now...

Endeavor. Todoroki Enji. Where to go with that one. I don’t want him to have a happy ending. And that doesn’t seem to be where Horikoshi is taking him any way. Horikoshi seems to be moving Endeavor away from his family as he’s trying to make things up to them. There are a lot of death flags for Endeavor in the mangas recent chapters. But I don’t want him dead.

I don’t consider him living on as the #1 hero as him getting a happy ending. His near death experience made him realize how alone he is at the top. He’s ruined every one of his relationships with all the members of his family with the slight exception of Fuyumi but it seems like she is going to live with Rei in their new home away from him so... she doesn’t even seem to have anything for him to apologize for besides the neglect anyway. She doesn’t seem to be close to any of her siblings either. Yes I also mean Shoto there. Probably because after Rei’s breakdown she had to step up and be the “mom” of the family.

I don’t want Rei to ever forgive him. I don’t want Natsuo to ever forgive him. I don’t want SHOTO to ever forgive him. Having a semi-amiable relationship with him is not forgiving. It is not forgetting what he has done.

I want Dabi to be Touya so much for a few reasons and one of them is that I want Endeevor to know he is responsible for ever life Dabi has taken. For all the distraction he caused. Because Touya would not be Dabi if it weren’t for Endeavors need to be the best. If it weren’t for his blaitant lack of care for his own child.

I want Endeavor to stay the #1 hero and have to live in All Mights Shadow. I want him to spent the rest of his life trying to fill the void he created in his life but abusing his family. I want the weight of the title to slowly crush him day by say the longer he has to hold it alone.

I want him to reap the consequences. I want him to accept it. I want him to change. I want him to one day be able to look into Shotos eyes and be proud of the man, of the hero, he becomes in Spite of what Endeavor did. I want him to offer Rei divorce but leave the decision to her. I want him to step back. I want him to realize he should have never had children. Should have never got married for powers sake. I don’t want him to completely cut contact, but I don’t want him to be a super active presence in their lives either.

I want his family to accept his apology but not forgive him. I want him to spend the rest of his life with regret.

That’s the only way I’ll be satisfied with Endeavors arc.

[the-cookie-of-doom]

Earlier I was thinking of an AU where Mitch is a detective and Stiles is an FBI agent.

Mitch is somewhere around 35, has been a cop for a long time, and is deeply jaded by the business. His daughter is the light of his life, though, and she's a constant reminder not to let his job fully destroy his soul. It's hard sometimes, though.

Daughter is like 8 or so, and is a product of his relationship with Katrina. That relationship has since ended... not quite terribly, it was a mutual divorce, but they definitely like each other now that they're not married anymore. Mitch and Katrina we're together since high school and married right out of college; they tried to commit too much too soon, and within a few years they realized they weren't as suited for each other as they though. Having a new baby plus Mitch's high-risk and high-stress job was hard to deal with, and Mitch isn't good at dealing with stuff at the best of times, so. Divorce. Five years later they're still friends, not falling into the trap of bitter exes.

Katrina has probably moved on but Mitch quickly finds out he's not that good at holding down a relationship, but he doesn't really mind. Marrying Katrina seemed like the logical step; they were high school sweethearts, went to college, obviously the next corse was to get jobs, get a house, and have a baby. That's probably one of the reasons their relationship failed. Nowadays Mitch tends to stick to one night stands and short flings, not all that interested in finding someone to settle down with again.

Mitch has been working an ongoing case for the last 5 years, amongst the others: a human trafficking ring operating out of the city Mitch works in. They're slippery bastards and keep getting away, when suddenly there's a break in the case that leads the FBI to their doorstep.

Stiles is the newest member of the team that's sent to help with the case, all bright eyed and bushy tailed and fresh out of the Academy. He's way too chipper, not beaten down by the job yet, and Mitch can't stand him. He's too hyper and hopeful, and Mitch is enough of a bastard that he takes some sick joy in crushing Stiles' hopes. His unit has been working this case for longer than Stiles has been in the FBI, and will probably be working it long after. Trafficking rings are notoriously hard to break.

Stiles doubles down on his optimism though, out of spite, and that impresses Mitch a bit. After working with Stiles he has to grudgingly admit respect. He's professional and efficient and notices details and patterns that other miss. They might actually make some headway afterall (not that Mitch will admit it.)

Stiles is also great with Mitch's daughter, and she adores him. That goes a long way in thawing Mitch out towards him. And Stiles has a way of getting under his skin; it's not long before they fall into bed together. It's almost inevitable. At least, that's how Mitch justifies it to himself, since he's usually not one for fraternizing with coworkers. But you know how it is; working close quarters, under a lot of stress and pressure, something was bound to break...

There's another break in the case, as well, in the worst possible way. They get too close and one of the traffickers kidnaps Mitch's daughter, and he wishes he was as optimistic as Stiles because all he's left with is the memories of all the case reports and victims associated with this group. She makes for effective bait, getting Mitch out in the open and vulnerable without a moment's hesitation as soon as he recieves the pictures of his terrified daughter, and a location.

It's a trap, of course it is, Mitch knows that. But that's his baby girl, he's not going to sit around waiting to get a strike team together while god knows what happens to her. (He's knows, he's seen the aftermath, and he's not willing to wait.)

Predictably Mitch is outmanned and out gunner, as is given to options: give up all his weapons, or watch them put a bullet in his daughters head. Mitch takes option one, promises his daughter that everything is going to be okay, and does his damndest to stall and figure out a way to get them both out of this.

Lucky for him, Stiles catches up quick, and finds a position that gives him a good vantage point over everything that's happening. Mitch sees him lurking in the shadows, there's some silent communication, and then all hell breaks loose.

Because Mitch has spent the better part of his adulthood exposed to the worst sides of humanity, he's a bit paranoid. He taught Katrina to fight when they were together, and has started doing the same with his daughter. He's also taught her more than your average stranger danger lessons, and when she sees Mitch give her a specific handsignal she drops to the ground; a second later gunfire rings out as Stiles shoots the man that was holding her. But Stiles isn't an assassin, he's a federal agent; so he winged the guy, trained to wound not kill. Mitch goes for his guns and his daughter, his first though to get her out of there, while Stiles lays down cover fire.

Mitch meets Stiles outside and hands his daughter off to him, telling him to get her out of there—something he wouldn't trust anyone else to do, especially now, after coming so close to losing her. But there's no way he's letting the asshole ringleader get away again. Now it's personal. Stiles knows Mitch is about to do something incredibly stupid and extremely illegal.... and decided to step aside and cover for him if he needs to. So Mitch goes back, wounded (he took at least one shot in the back/shoulder while running back out with his daughter) and pissed, to stab a mother Fucker in the eye.

After everything is said and done Mitch gets put on medical leave, miraculously avoids a lawsuit and/or suspension, and everyone gets to go home okay. Oh, and of course Stiles is going to have to have a Serious Talk with him about... everything, really. Mitch being stupid and reckless and almost getting his dumbass killed, and he's so damn lucky Stiles was there to cover him, and if any of them had any sense he would spend the rest of his life at a desk so he didn't do anything else incredibly stupid... and the whole time Mitch is just grinning through Stiles' tirade, until Stiles finally stops in his tracks to ask what the hell is so funny. And Mitch just says,

"You like me."

"No, I don't. I think you're a stupid, reckless, inconsiderate asshole."

"Sure. But you wouldn't be so pissed if you didn't care; you like me."

"I hate you."

And what's worse, is Stiles knows he right. Only people he cares about can get him this furious, dammit. But it's okay, because Mitch likes him too.

Word count: around 2k.

Preface:

Y/N was an incredibly smart and innocent young girl. Her eyes sparkled like the stars and she was the very definition of charming and youth. So when she finally moved to the same city as her older brother, the summer before UNi began, it was no wonder how close she became to his troubled friend Taehyung. She was loving life but soon money got tight; what with preparing for school and such. So while exploring her soon to be new campus, she was tipped off by a student about a part time job delivering pizzas. How awesome! Her coworker is aloof but attractive and slightly older than her. But when he warms up to her, and with the permission of the boss, he promises to look out for her and teach her what he knows. She gets far more than she bargained for and soon it’s too late for her to turn around. But with him she didn’t care. At least for awhile. But nothing good ever lasts in this city and soon everything has fallen apart and Yoongi and Tae are no where to be found. Forced to take Yoongis place, she is now ruthless and hardened after all this time. Best in her business now really. But at night the girl she used to be slips out now and then. It’s his fault but she can’t let him go.

I thought I knew fear. True deep fear. Up until now fear was a spectrum of emotions spun into one. Constantly shifting and almost undeterminable. A force of its own demanding to be felt. I thought I knew sorrow. Promises un-kept and missed opportunities soon to be forgotten within the passing of time. All holding respective lessons to be learned. Stepping stones of self-discovery and growth. Necessary. Accepted.

My world has always been vibrant and moving. When change did not come, I made it myself. Finding simple pleasures in the world around me. My eyes were always set on the far horizons of “What Could Be” or far behind in “What Had Been”. My life, in my eyes, was a blank canvas and I wanted to capture the essence of life itself in that one painting. With that goal in mind, the come and go of people in my life didn’t matter as much. They had their own paths to follow.

But over the course of a year or so it seems any and all essence of life has been drained from me. The unforgiving city took all I had to give with little regard. Tainted innocence. People acting similarly. And soon I was no better. Following the crowds mindlessly during the day and running the streets at night. My eyes were sunken and exhausted from the lack of sleep I had been getting but I couldn’t stop. After all: There Ain’t No Risk For The Wicked. And dealers don’t get sick days.

Today was an average day with equally average weather. Grey skies reflected off grey pavements as soft chill blew through unevenly.

I work part time as a pizza delivery driver complete with the dorkiest scooter and helmet combo. A job I once eagerly came into back when he still worked here. But that was months ago. But business as usual with customers getting their fix and a side of pizza. I can’t help but crack up at the set up every now and then. “Yes can I get a large pepperoni with extra spice? ”

The phrase (spice) was inconspicuous enough that if anyone overheard they would be none the wiser. But the owner and anyone he trusted to work under him knew. And because I had “such a unsuspecting and adorable face” he immediately took me under his wing. Well not after a few so called tests of corse. At first they were frightening when I had no idea who I was working for let alone with.

But Yoongi. Yoongi always made sure we came home safe to the Old Man. He used to anyways. Jealousy and spite are poisonous things.

I was running a delivery to a regular today though. Triple spice with extra dust for one Seok. His full name was Hoseok but for the sake of orders he only ever went by Seok. Although when I first met him he insisted I call him Hope. He had the brightest smile that could outshine any star and a laugh like a dream. I fell for him a bit that day but in more of a childish school girl way. I felt guilty when I first began delivering him more than just pizza. When I thought we were friends. Now it’s just business.

Rounding the corner past the dry cleaners and laundromat I pulled over and parked the scooter on the curb. He lived in the apartments above the mainstream businesses and I had a few other customers on this same road. Some days I’d make 8 deliveries at once. Ha! Heading up the creaky stairs, covered in carpet at least 30 years old, I nearly tripped over the one collapsed spot.

“Pfft you would think after nearly two years you would remember to not step there” spoke a familiar yet raspy voice.

“Yea well after two years you would think your bastard slum lord would’ve fixed it” I grumbled meeting eyes with Seok who draped himself almost casually against his door frame waiting for me to close the distance.

“You got my money Seok?”

“I really wish you wouldn’t call me that when it’s just us you know” he chided but nonetheless pulls out the required bills and passes them to me under the pizza box as we trade off. I don’t have to bother counting them here though. He was many things but he was reliable when it came to this.

“You wanna come in and share this with me? You look tired y/n. You should come in and relax?”

“Seok..”

“Y/n.”

“Hhrrrg Hobes I am not doing this today. Why don’t you call up Jimin? I’m sure he would be thrilled.”

“Aish he’s not answering. Hung up on another girl”

“Hmmm maybe you should try that sometime. Maybe not a relationship but just get laid or something.” I raised my eyebrows at this pointedly. But he just smirked.

“Well if you’re offering..”

“Goodbye Seok!” Rolling my eyes, as he sighed and shut the door behind me, I went back down the stairs avoiding the dip at the top this time. Someones gonna bust a knee cap on that bullshit one of these days.

The familiar hum of the bike underneath made it easier to remember the girl I had been before. Sometimes I would even ride it by the river and pretend I was a normal Uni girl again. Before I had dropped out and everything spun wildly out of control.

Jin insisted one day we would bring mom and dad out and have a cheesy family picnic together. I laughed then at how silly it sounded but….I would trade everything in the world to have that now.

I haven’t spoken to my parents since his passing. Truthfully he’s the reason I can no longer sleep. His death plagued my nights and almost my days until I finally killed off all my feelings.

Well almost. There are still nights where my throat is raw and my body is ravaged and racked with sputtering tears and silent wails. I can’t cry to loud so I have to choke the sobs down usually which leads to me getting sick half the time. Beats noise complaints I guess.

“WATCH WHERE YOU’RE FUCKING GOING!!”

“Oh shit!”

I grabbed the breaks and yanked my steering towards the left until I was completely clear of the asshole that decides to step out into the road. Hard dirt and gutter water splattered all over me once I made contact with the ground. The bike crushing my legs in a weird twisted mess. But seemingly no broken limbs at least. Now who the fu-

“Yo y/l/n did you not fucking see me?”

Tae? What is he doing back in the city?

“Are you listening to me?”He gestured angrily but all I could do was stare blankly and blink as I picked up my bike.

“*under his breath and exasperated* This crazy bitch who does she think she is?”

“Pfft not your bitch for sure. Also speak up if you’re gonna go talkin shit.”

“Oh that’s rich coming from you.”

“I sure hope it is. And where the fuck have you been exactly? Seok and Jimin said they haven’t heard from you in nearly two months?”

“I’ve been working and taking care of my family. Some of us have to make a more modest living than others to make ends meet” he narrowed his eyes as he finished his sentence.

Easy to say that Tae has not, and never will be, a customer of The Old Man. He didn’t know about the whole operation until what happened with my older brother. In fact we had all been close when I first moved here.

“I don’t have time for this.” I stood planning to leave before a thought occurred to me; “How’s your mother by the way? Is she..ya know... ok?”His eyes darkened but he shifted his stance and his gaze to the side. Like he was trying to keep himself together.

“I’m with her so she’s fine”

“You know that’s not what I mean-“

“It’s none of your fucking business y/l/n” Again I blinked, turning to start the bike and climbing on; not bothering to wipe the dirt off my body or face.

“Whatever”

He bristled. “You know this life is not what he wanted for you-“ he begins lowly, looking back up to meet my eyes.

“Yea well to quote yourself: it’s none of your fucking business Tae” and with a sardonic smile I sped off back to the shop where more deliveries were to be made.

Just an ordinary day. Sure.

[disgraced-doctor-junkenstein]

(Oh im fine its an rp thing) Well my partner in ah... work related things so to speak isn't exactly the nicest person and they're kinda bad, so i was just curious the corse of action i should take. -torture anon

Ah. Business then. To that Junkenstein nods slowly, carefully dropping his gaze back down to his work bench that he is tinkering on. A spare glance up every now and again as he gradually goes back into constructing frag bombs.

“Nice is subjective unfortunately. Blue is nice,” the German starts to list off. “Rum is nice. Donating food to shelters is nice. Treating an injured animal and releasing it back into the wild is nice. Hearing your enemy sob through a wall when they think they are alone is nice.”

The use of bad though just has him assume that this partner in question is just not good at their job. It feels like a safe bet seeing as nice was used shortly before. 

“If you do hire someone then know their price upfront. You will probably have to pay half of it in advance and the other upon completion. That’s… more or less standard procedure.” He clicks his tongue in concentration, pausing his verbal responses if only to give his bomb one more look over before starting on a new one. 

“If you can’t wait that long or trust anyone else for the job then you might have to get your own hands dirty. I find inducing a hallucinatory state to a subject tends to make them more lose lipped and susceptible to questioning as well as more honest as opposed to just beating the information out of them directly. Spite is a powerful motivator. You’ll want to be sure that isn’t what’s going on in the back of your subject’s mind.”

Logan: Virgil, is it really healthy to just eat cookies for every meal? You really should consider some fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Virgil: You know what? I spent my childhood fending for myself in whatever way I could. My parents thought I'd be fine, tripping my way though life on a crash corse to fail town. They were wrong.

Virgil: As a responsible adult, capable of making my own choices, I will eat cookies. For the rest of my life if I have to. Just to spite all those people who thought I'd turn out okay without any guidance through my failure of a life.

Logan:

Logan:

Patton, stuffing more cookies into Virgil's mouth: That's right, honey. Let the cookies make you feel powerful.

[softlyspokenunderground]

Dolere chuckled with Clover, happy that his friend seemed as amused at the thought as he was.

“Ha, I believe that they would both be insulted, though I want to do it anyway. For science of corse.”

The tall monster finished off the rest of his burger, pausing when he noticed the human nod to them and start to leave. Dolere frowned, watching the man suspiciously, but nodded back out of politeness. Though he was still a bit uneasy with his feelings towards the gentleman.

“That man unnerves me. I do not like the feeling that I know him, it should not be possible, given how little time I spend interacting with humans. I do not understand why he seems so familiar…” Dolere paused, a lightbulb seeming to go off in his mind as he watched the man leave, before shaking his head, “I hope we do not see him again soon, unless he has a fantastic mustache that is.”

Dolere paused and stretched, letting out a relieved sigh as his back popped. Sitting in the booth for too long was starting to make his back sore, and he was excited to be able to walk around with his friend at the park.

“Circling back to the previous topic, I believe you to be very brave, Clover. You do things in spite of your fears, not because you are fearless. Bravery is not all flashy self-sacrifice and heroics, but being able to do things despite being scared.”

He smiled warmly and waved a hand, gesturing around them.

“You agreeing to lunch with me, for example. I appreciate it very much, and personally believe it to be brave of you to go out to eat with someone in a public place who you have not known for long. Do not sell yourself short, friend.”

softlyspokenunderground​:

“The park sounds wonderful, it is not often I get to people watch and that sounds very fun also, if I am honest, the thought of going into Vile’s lab is terrifying to me. You are much braver than I, my friend, I am too much of a klutz and would be too worried about accidentally destroying something important to actually focus on anything he would say.”

Dolere shook his head, smiling. He could only imagine the kinds of things Clover and Vile could do together if they both put their minds to it and focus. He popped another fry into his mouth and chasing I’d down with the rest of his own drink, his tail shaking a bit at the unpleasant taste.

“A mental note, next time you and I come here I will get a cider or ale of some kind. But on the topic of the basement, perhaps Vile would enjoy your company? I do not see any harm in asking, the worst he could do it say no, right?”

The tall monster took another large bite of his meal, savoring the taste. Truly, no matter the universe, Grillby was a master of the art of burger making and Dolere felt a flare of respect for the elemental. As he swallowed, a thought occurred to him.

“Clover, I have a question, and this is entirely between us.”

He leaned forward, eyes sparking with playful mischief and lowered his voice to a whisper.

“Which do you like better, Muffet’s or Grillby’s? And follow-up, do you think if you used her donuts and Grillby’s dessert churros to make a sandwich would it put you into a sugar coma?”

Dolere wondered how quickly one of the two shop owners would have a go at him if he walked into their establishments with such a cuisine monstrosity, but the thought made him almost giddy.

“Me? Brave?”

Clover shook his head and as a light grey patch spread across his face. He hardly considered himself as being brave. Vile was strange, yes, but not extremely scary. Of course, he has never seen Vile at his worst.

“I d-don’t think I’m very brave… Vile is weird and all but I don’t think there is really anything to be afraid of. Well, other than possibly irritating him… but yeah, you’re right. Him saying no is not a big deal. Maybe a little disappointing but nothing soul crushing.”

He turned his attention back to his food and quietly chewed away at his sandwich, wondering what he and Vile could possibly collaborate on. Vile’s creations were often destructive, and Clover felt that it may be difficult to get him to focus on something that -wasn’t- so. He thought that maybe he should speak to Peaches first before doing anything with Vile.

Then came the question to end all questions: Which was better? The spider or the elemental? And… A dessert sandwich that could inflict hyperglycemia so bad that it’d conk someone out? The second question felt more like something Vile would answer more readily than Clover would, but he still considered it for awhile.

“This… Well uhm…” He looked around himself to make sure the famed owner was no where within earshot, then leaned forward and whispered back. “I’d have to pick Muffet… Her goods are, well, good. I do love Grillby’s stuff, but baked food is my weakness. As for the weird mixture of sweets… I don’t know. There’s a couple of things to consider: Is the person eating it diabetic? How much sugar content is in the, er, ‘sandwich’? That sort of stuff can effect how fast one could fall into a coma, I think. Also, why would you combine them? I think one or the other would be insulted.”

He snickered at the thought, while the nearby human grinned and shook his head before standing, leaving a wad of cash. It’s obvious he was overpaying, but it was also obvious he cared little about it. He looked at the two, nodding quietly to them with a smile on his face and left the place without further incident.

[polyscripts]

General, Sir

Request; I'm super nervous about this but I do have a request. A Benjamin x reader where she meets Washington for the first time? Maybe Washington doesn't know Ben was married? I dunno just a thought. I'm not creative. Love your writing!!

Prompt; George mistakes the young madame to be a single lady, only to find out otherwise...

Pairing(s); Benjamin Talmadge x reader

Warning(s); some nsfwww , jealousy ? otherss :)

A/N; this was gonna be short but then I realized lets throw some nsfw shit in there and make it longer >:) so thats what I did AHAHHA,,, it aaaaalso might not be good because I had to rewrite it omf

alsoooo sorry if you wanted something else but this is what I did :(

When your husband insisted that you join him to the ball, you didn't fight him on it. Finding a dress in time was no issue with the help of your dear friend, Hercules. So when the time came around, you were probably the most stunning woman in the room, with your natural beauty and exquisite dress.

“Everyones staring at me” you mumbled to Ben, looking up to see him already staring down at you. You blushed and looked away, his laughter filling your ears as his arm came around your waist, holding you close to his chest.

“Thats because you are absolutely stunning, my love” you sighed as he pressed a kiss to your temple. Although your time together was cut short before a servant came up to Ben claiming General Arnold wished to see him. And knowing Arnold your time together would be even shorter.

“I promise, a few minutes” you rolled your eyes, swirling your champagne within your glass.

“If General Arnold's talking, you’ll be gone the whole night and I have no friends here!” you pouted, slightly begging for him to take you with him even if you had to endure Arnold's stupid rants about congress. 

“Its only us dear, I'm sure you’ll find someone to entertain you” he winked, faking his pain when you slapped his shoulder. Your annoyance didn't go unnoticed.

“Shut up, just go” he smiled, pecking a quick kiss to your lips before leaving to the next room. You stayed to the back wall, watching everyone mingle and drink to the soft music playing in the background. You noticed a few women talking together in a group, sneaking glances over at you every so often before returning to giggling.

You were slowly growing annoyed every time they looked back, you even recognized one of the quiet women to be Mr. Arnold’s new finance. She was silently looking at you, but she didn't indulge in the other women’s gossip, she didn’t even smile with them.

“You know if you would like to speak of me, maybe you should speak to me while I'm here” you snapped after a few minutes in listening to them giggle on about you. They all blushed in embarrassment except for one who smirked at the cutting way of your words.

“We didn't-”

“Shut up” they gasped in horror, shuffling away as you looked over them in distaste. With that, you pushed off the wall and moved towards the other room where the men and there wives mingled and danced along the floor.

You gulped down the rest of your champagne to ease your raging nerves before reaching for another. The servant gave you a bleak smile before scurrying off, you drank a good portion before you heard a voice come from behind you.

“May I ask why such a fine lady is already on her 4th glass tonight?” you didn't even bother looking back on the poor fellow as you drank and spoke.

“No, because it is none of your business, so may I ask why you’ve been stalking me?” you heard him chuckle, clearly amused, where you weren’t. 

“My, a woman with fire, I like that” you rolled your eyes, ready to fire more of your annoyance at this man but froze when you turned and saw who exactly you were dealing with. You didn't see his face first, just his broad chest and high ranking medals adorning proudly. When you looked up, your face was immediately drowned in red with embarrassment. 

“So her beauty matches her attitude I see” George smiled kindly at you as you were at a complete loss for words. You had just sassed the most important man in the country.

“I-I’m so sorry General, sir” you squeaked, clutching the glass as everyone turned to look at the both of you in interest. 

“It’s quite alright Miss..”

“YN, YN is fine” he nodded, smiling softly while bowing slightly, hand out in a gesture for you to take.

“May I have this dance, Miss YN?” you bit your lip nervously, looking around to see if Ben had returned only to realize he was still with General Arnold in the next room. Much to your dislike.

“Not like I can say no to you, General sir”

“George, please I insist, and of corse you have a choice Miss YN” you smiled at this and took his hand. You handed the glass away as he took your hand in his, his other trailing down to the small of your back. You pushed away your discomfort, this was the General of the continental army you were dancing with.

“Now tell me Miss YN, why were you so annoyed?” he spoke slowly and calmly, and you felt yourself somewhat relaxing to the sound.

“Just women, you know how it is” you sighed, looking from the corner of your eye at the group of women who still huddled together. When they caught your eye they immediately stopped and looking down shamefully. 

He chuckled, twirling you before pulling you back, closer than the last time. Your chest were touching, his hand just a bit lower on your back than before. You felt heat rise in your cheeks as his lips came down closer to your ear.

“Dont worry about them Miss YN, they have nothing on you..” you stuttered for a reply as he pulled back to catch your reaction. He was smirking but you felt all color drain from you when you heard someone clear their throat from behind you. Without even needing to look you knew exactly who it was..

“Benjamin, I was just about to look for you, but I should apologize I got distracted” your cheeks burned as the man obliviously hit on you in front of your husband. You saw Ben’s jaw clench but he said nothing, only giving the general a tight lipped smile.

“Mind if I have a moment with, Miss YN?” you swallowed thickly as the man nodded before departing, not without giving you a kiss on the hand as a parting gift. Ben growled lowly, luckily he didn't hear, and grabbed your hand in his tightly. He dragged you until you were both safely alone in the barely light hallway, the candles not reaching the darkened corners.

“Ben!” you hissed, even though no one was around you felt like someone could catch you both at any second. You gasped in shock as he pushed you up against the wall, a low thud echoing in the empty hall. 

You could see his eyes darkened with jealously, his sneer directly in your line of sight as his hands tightened on your arms. You crossed your legs to avoid the tingling feeling, making sure to keep your eyes locked on his.

“I leave you for a few minutes only to come back and see you in the arms of my general?” although he looked angry, his tone was nothing of the same. His hands slowly running down your arms, towards your bodice, pressing his body up against yours.

“You told me to mingle and those girls where so annoying I just-” you stopped talking, or more likely stopped breathing when you felt his hands hiking up your dress, fingertips trailing over your thighs. 

“You just what? decided to dance with the man who could easily get me out the picture?” he growled out. You bit your lip to keep from crying out as his evident budge pressed against you. He slowly grinder into you, his hands tightening around your thigh, keeping you locked in place.

“N-No I-” 

You breathed shakily, his fingers nearing dangerously close to your core. Your leg hiked up a little higher on his leg, giving his fingers access to caress at your soaking panties. 

“Already YN? how long’ve you been like this?” his head dipping into the crook of your neck. You squeezed his shoulder, moaning a bit as he kissed at the newly exposed skin.

“Ben! someone could come out any second!” your warning lost in your moans. You could practically feel his smirk broaden against your neck.

“Then they’ll really know who you belong to, Miss YN” he teased, nipping at the heated skin just below your jaw, emitting a small squeak from you. You squirmed in his arms, rocking your hips slightly against his bulge and moaning at the well needed friction. He grunted, arm tightening around you, his fingers slowly rubbing circles around your clit.

You were moaning breathlessly as he continued to kiss and suck on your neck, nearly giving yourself to him until the doors to the ballroom swung open.

You couldn’t see who the newcomer was in the darkness of the hall. You tensed, attempting to get away from Ben’s fingers, but his grip on your waist kept you in place. He placed a finger over his lips, staring directly into your eye’s as to stay quiet. But you knew the person must have seen the both of you because he cleared his throat to get both of your attention.

“Excuse me..” 

Your eyes went wide, but Ben’s stayed calm, if only darkening more as he looked over his shoulder to address the man.

“General Washington” your face burned ten times hotter hearing his name. You tried to hide more behind Ben, trying to use the shadows to held hide you more. You heard the General chuckle, holding a candle light in his hand, stance wide with a small smile on his lips.

“Benjamin, I had no idea you were...” all the while he was talking, his voice seemed to trail off as Ben moved a bit so your face was revealed. You pinched Ben as hard as you could to keep him in place, but he was to full of spite to stop now. “..busy”

“My... Miss YN, lovely seeing you again” you bit your tongue , nearly drawing blood. You opened your mouth but no words came out, only a pathetic squeak that made Ben smirk more. You wanted to kill him.

“General I must’ve forgotten, Miss YN is actually my wife” his hand that had been hidden under your skirts were on you again, slowly rub circles against the bundle of nerves. You swallowed down a moan as you kept your eyes glued to Washington, who looked ready to speak some more.

“Then allow me to apologize for my behavior earlier Miss YN, I had no idea” you nodded. His fingers slowly sliding into you, his thumb grazing your clit, and words flew out your mouth to prevent you from crying out in pleasure.

“Its no problem General, sir” you bit your tongue as his fingers slid back out, slipping up and down your soaking folds. You gripped his uniform as if your life depended on it, as he slid a single digit inside you.

“Well, I’ll get going, enjoy yourselves” you nearly missed the small quirk of his lip, as he send you a wink before turning to return into the parlor room. Once the door shut completely behind him, you let out a low moan you’d been holding, Ben’s eyes back on you.

“Now, where were we?”

im literally so sad Turn is done .. (UNEDITED) my own writing makes me cringe ewww

Homophobic Argument & Stress

You all remember how I said I liked Eddie. Well not anymore. I really don’t want to date him. I’m still fine with the way things are (I think, I’ll find out tomorrow when I see him). Anyways so he brought it up by saying he didn’t wanna tell me what was wrong because then we’d have the same convo. I was confused and didn’t know so I was like, explain. He said he’s tired of being single and I said sorry and I was confused on how the convo usually goes. He said because then I’d mention how I stil like him and then he said he usually tunes out after that. First of all, that’s fucking rude. I replied by saying I was sorry and ik he doesn’t feel the same way and I was really happy with the way things are between us right now. And that's not a lie. I’m fine with it all. I said I’ll eventually find someone else and he joked (I think) that he’d have to approve them first. 

THEN he went on to say when I did find someone else, he wouldn’t talk to me and we’d stop hanging out. This made me cry because I love hanging out with him, he’s my ONLY friend. So I said why and he replied with he only hangs out with people who are single and I was like “why?” He goes on to explain that every time the girl he talks to get’s a boyfriend the bf is like “back off my girl” or whatever. I told him I wouldn’t date a guy like that, because I wont’. If my boyfriend has a problem with me being friend with a guy, then he can go fuck himself.

Then I go to explain that of corse we wouldn't be FWB anymore but I still wanted to talk and hang. He said that wouldn't happen ESPECIALLY IF I DATE A GIRL. He has a problem with lesbians if you haven’t caught on. I said that “They’re not all bad” and he said that they all do the same to him and all talk to guys and then start talking shit about the bf and then sate a girl and brags about it and they’re not even a real lesbian and just call themselves it. 

BASICALLY what he was trying to say is he hates girls who date girls just as a spite thing and aren’t actually attracted to them.I replied with that I’m not a lesbo first of all, I’m bi and I said “And Eddie, I would NEVER EVER hurt you. I’d kill myself before I would ever hurt you.” Here I am promising I wouldn’t hurt him and guess what? He didn’t budge. He said he understands and that I’m not a lesbo BUT HE STILL would “stop anything to do with you and if your gf tries to talk to me and if she offends more or insults me, I beat her ass worse than anyone I have before.” 

I wouldn’t ever date someone who was going to hurt my friends but he can’t get his head around it. And what kills me is he has a lesbian friend named Tayshante or something. He’s fine with her. I replied to that with that he was basically going to throw me to the curb if I dated a girl and would treat me like shit.

The only way he’d talk to me again is if me and the girl broke up. So I said that he was homophobic AND HE ADMITTED “Just towards lesbians”. And just to appease his Neanderthal brain I said that I was never going to get a girlfriend and he said that was fine by him.

So that was the argument. I cried through a lot of it and texted Emili, the girl who is dating Eddie’s brother. 

Not to mention he says they’re only 2 genders. If you have a penis, you’re a dude and a vagina, you’re a girl. I said he’s scientifically right but there are gender identity but I know he wont’ listen to that. 

So yeah. Needless to say I’m missing a small gap of eyelashes on my left eye and they’re are eyelashes on my wall. I’m gonna go calm down now.
