I have to know what everyone else thinks of this

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

For me/my family:

Americans are considered to be very punctual, and arrive early to parties. If you think Americans arrive late... Mexicans arrive LATER.

Mexicans put the time at 5 pm, but the real party begins at 6:30-7pm. Americans say 5pm, they mean party starts at 5pm, but of course not everyone arrives exactly at the same time, really it just means party activities and food are ready by that time so maybe not a good idea to be TOO late or else it's gone.

Mexicans on the other hand say 5pm, but really they mean the set up starts at 5pm, and if you arrive at that time, you bet your ass you're helping set up tables and cook the food and put up the decorations. Which is why you want to be about an hour or so later. The party gets real good about 2 more hours in (and that's usually when the dj or live band comes in).

So, this is a common thing I see in American shows and movies and I need to ask because my culture does NOT work the same way;

why are people expected to NOT show up at time for a party? Party starts at 7pm, someone shows up at 7pm, then they're being mocked for showing up at the scheduled time.

Why? What's the point of scheduling a time to meet if you're not supposed to actually be there on time? I don't get it. Please explain this cultural phenomenon to me.

And if your culture isn't American, but this is still a thing, please do share that too. I'm very intrigued by this xD

Yes, the canon for Ayla is that she spends all of dawntrail crying and having panic attacks over losing a guy she's not even in love with. Bc she sucks so extremely hard.

Rambling a bit about my WoL

I'm just rotating the job change to Pictomancer in my mind ever since Dawntrail released because it's both the perfect job and the perfect timing AND probably the most ill-suited job for my boy all at the same time.

The cutesy aesthetic is the later category. As in I personally really enjoy the animations and the aesthetic of the job, but it really doesn't suit Rhaq'a in the slightest. Painting a moogle and then attacking with the most cartoonish hammer ever??? Yeah, not a good fit for him.

But in terms of the lore behind the job and how it ties with what I had set as his goals post-Endwalker? It fits like a damn glove.

Allagan Summoning is, by definition, condemned to die off. It already did so once when the Allagan Empire collapsed, and it will do so again. It's too inherently tied to primals to exist in any era when they aren't frequently summoned.

Very long story short, one of the goals I had set for him long term after the Endwalker reveals is to create a new iteration of Allagan Summoning that does NOT rely on primals. This is a VERY long-term goal that I won't be realized during the game itself, but he is right now covering the many holes in his education and doing some initial research for clues on how to proceed.

He comes from a traditional Keeper family, by which I mean he was raised in a teeny tiny village in the middle of the woods and only learnt how to read and write when he ran away from home after the 7th Umbral Calamity. He taught himself to do so.

So he is a very powerful mage, but he never had the chance to learn magic beyond what's immediately useful when adventuring. There is so much he has to study if he wants to solve this particular puzzle.

And it may not solve his lack of book knowledge, but Pictomancer is the perfect way to carry on with his studies whilst adventuring, particularly on arts that deal with the creation of constructs (which means they can have the key to how replace primals). The initial quest clarifies that a Pictomancer doesn't require actual artistic ability/experience, the images and constructs form by channeling aether and using the caster's imagination.

And most if not all of Dawntrail is, plot wise, under the WoL's power level. What better occasion there is to practice a wholly new art? He doesn't need to be at 100% power for this, and perfecting it in the field gives him a deeper understanding of the art.

Perfect reason (Pictomancer's lore means it's a good art to study for his long term goals) and perfect timing (The lower stakes mean he doesn't need to feel guilty for bringing his hobbies with him to work)

But the aesthetic is so not a good fit.

[dianagj-art]

OH MY GOSH Oneion should hug One and One can't do nothing about it cause...he's small

Oneion wouldn't tho, cause he knows One a little bitch, he would sit on him tho

(Old art omg 😭 Oneion doesn't even have the head stripes)

You have unlocked a short ramble about them because they are everything to me, you don't understand

Look, at first sight, One would be so excited to see Oneion, why wouldn't he? Look at him! And *that *is him! At first sight, Oneion is everything One wants to become, everything Draxum hoped and expected from him. But the moment Oneion interacts with his brothers (or on the crossovers with Sprout and Poptart) all of that comes crashing down, because No. WHY??!!

One is still deep in denial about having friends, because Draxum pretty much forbade that as he grew up, he grew up isolated in their home most of the time, and was tought to be a soldier and pretty much a weapon for war, friends were for normal yokai, and he was not that, friends were a distraction from his purpose and his training, a weakness to have

So then Oneion comes in and he has a family and friends and he loves them so much and he gets along with humans, which he was supposed to destroy and he is constantly going against so much that One was thought and who One perceives as who he is

Oneion has gone thought years of growth and character development, he's not the piña coloda of mental health by any means, but he's certainly in a better place than One is

All this frustrates both of them so much

and they certainly bring out the worst on each other, but! Once One starts to shift, once he starts to take the first steps in his redeption, he's gonna start seeing Oneion in another light, he'd be able to understand him more, and Oneion would gladly be there for him when the worst comes.

Something something

About how Clark is from space and yet is so utterly down on Earth and probably loves to have his hands covered in dirt

And Hal being from Earth and yet is always spending his time soaring through the clouds or hanging out with the stars

And there being something so poetic about that contrast between these two characters

DAY 16 | Fives for @returnofthepineapple <3

Advent Calendar and some ramblings below the cut (:

I did happy laughing Fives, so now it's time for flirty Fives

Dear Piña,

Today’s gift is for you, and it’s flirty Fives! I know how much you love him (and I love him so much myself so this was an absolute pleasure to draw), so when I was planning my Advent Event I really didn’t have to think about whom to draw for you! Piña, you’re such a lovely person, always sharing such amazing goods that would otherwise stay hidden in the depths of Tumblr (and your reaction memes give me life; I think most ones I have saved on my phone came from you). You’re an absolute star for hosting a place to share all the amazing clone creators and creations out here! And besides that, you’re a wonderful creator yourself! I love your writing and I also very much love seeing you getting into art; you’re amazing and please keep your creations coming! <3

Happy Holidays!

Love, Lupe

Okay so can someone please agree with me that the Ice giants are like Canadian/Russia?? Or basically anywhere that gets pretty cold.

I'm Canadian and I've seen people booking it down the street in only a t-shirt and shorts in winter! Multiple times each year! Hell some people even wear flip flops and sandals when it's snowing out! Not to mention the people who bike in winter! (This is not just a Canadian thing too!)

So why can't the ice planets do the same? It'd be so funny for earth to be freezing his ass of while Uranus is just chilling there in a t-shirt and sandals with a piña colada in hand having the time of his life!

Where's my Neptune and Uranus who don't give a shit about how cold it is no matter how much Jupiter or Saturn yells a them? Those two fuckers refuse to wear anything but their T-shirts because "It's to hooootttttt" while Jupiter is freezing his butt off trying to convince them to wear a appropriate clothing for their placement on the solar system, hell let their moons in on the fun! Why not!

Anyways thank you for coming to late night rambling with Thunder <3

Piña Coladas

Modern Aegon II Targaryen x Reader

A/N: You can read this as a short prequel to “Enamoured by Strawberries” And as always, the reader is Daeron’s best friend and quite close with Alicent. 

Summary: The reader joined the Targaryen children on a small vacation, but Daeron had a last minute change of plans to bring in his brand new situationship which led to her being kicked to Aegon’s room. And she’s terrified of being in a room alone with him, but they manage to share a sweet moment.

Warnings: none

Word count: 1k

"We have a pool," you screamed, the widest grin on your face. "I'm going in right the fuck now," you said, running to the items of luggage kept on the floor. Aegon chuckled. "Well, I'll join you in a bit," he said, but you had already opened your suitcase and undone half your packing, grabbed a bikini and disappeared into the bathroom. "Fuck Aegon this is gorgeous," came your voice from the bathroom. Aegon laughed heartily when you'd forgotten all your awkwardness. He'd been flipping through the drinks menu when he heard the door unlock and he looked up. His eyes widened as you stepped out. You wore only a black bikini, your hair tied up in a pony, and you held a pair of sunglasses. "You look cute," he quipped. You smiled, tucking your hair behind your ear as you looked down.

"Thanks," you said and walked towards the small infinity pool. His gaze stayed on your ass as you sat down, first dipping your legs into the water.

Minute by minute, you had submerged yourself into the water further and further and were now resting on the pool's wall as you enjoyed the scenery. Aegon had disappeared for a while and just come back. He got into the pool, and when you turned around at the movement of the water, he handed you a glass. "Here you go," he said, settling down himself as he opened a bottle of champagne. "Thank you, what is this?" you asked. "Piña colada," he said. You looked at him, amused. "How'd you know I like it?" you asked, feeling colour rush to your cheeks. "Everyone likes piña coladas," he shrugged. Feeling your smile dip slightly, you thanked him nonetheless. You turned as your phone rang. You picked it up to see Facetime audio from Aunt Ali.

You picked up the phone, speaking to her for quite while, about the pool, about the weather, and what not. 

"Well, I suppose I'm going to pop off, enjoy your vacation and send me pictures so I can enjoy it with you, love you darling," Alicent said, "I love you too Auntie," you said before hanging up.

As you put your phone down, you looked to see Aegon with his back turned to you, drinking straight from the bottle as he stared off into the distance, the water droplets on his back shining in the sun. You swam towards him, leaning next to him before you looked at him. "You're awfully quiet," you said to him, now leaning on one hand as you faced him.

"Just enjoying the view," he said, not moving a muscle.

"Are you sad?" you asked. He chuckled as he gave you a glance.

"Why would I be sad?" he asked.

"Well, if it's because I was acting all weird about sharing a room with you, it's just that I didn't think you'd want to be in a room with me rather than someone you can actually have fun with, you know?" you rambled, his eyebrows contorting in confusion but slight amusement evident in his eyes. "Although now that I've said it aloud, I realise that sounds silly, you probably didn't even notice," you said, slightly smiling at him.

"I have fun with you," he shrugged, looking off into the distance again.

"Well, we can do things for fun, you know," you said, looking at him as you realised how you sounded. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at you and you blushed.

"No, I mean normal stuff, you perv," you said, splashing a little water at him.

"I'm the perv?" he asked, a smile on his face.

"You look better when you smile," you said, absentmindedly. "Not that you're ugly when you're sad or anything, but you look better when you're happy," you spoke.

He didn't say anything. "I'm gonna get sunburnt so bad by the end of this trip," you said, and though your words sounded like a complaint, your tone revealed a tone of delight.

"I knew you'd want a piña colada," he said. You looked at him, slightly confused. "I mean, you order that drink everywhere you go, even at night time, it's a little obsessive," he said.

"And what would you have done in case I said I didn't want to drink at noon?" you asked.

"Slapped some sense into you?" he said, you snorted at his reply. "Fuck sorry," you said, bursting into giggles. He laughed with you, but his laugh was deep, slow, and yours was uncontrolled. "Are you already drunk?" he asked, very amused. "Of course not," you said, holding a hand onto your chest. "I'm just lightheaded," you explained.

"Yeah sure, could you recite the days of the week," he said. 

"Aegon," you whined, he smiled at you. "That is so presumptuous, of course, I can recite the days of the week," you said, imitating his voice at the last bit. 

"I absolutely do not sound like that, that is a horrendous imitation of me," he scoffed. "Yeah I'd have to pump myself full of Aegon before- what am I saying," you said, genuinely surprised at your incoherence, and he laughed at you. 

"No I meant testosterone, oh shit that rhymes, Aegon's got testosterone," you did a sing-song. "Yeah you don't even know the word sober," he said. 

"Shut up, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday," you said, smiling proudly. "Well, I guess you've proven me wrong," he said, "drunk girl," he whispered into your ear, and you felt a shiver down your spine. 

"Oh and Aegon," you said, and he looked at you, beckoning you to continue. "You're going to have to take pictures of me, that's just a given if you share a room with me," you said, almost shrugging. "Well, okay princess, any other demands?" he mocked. "Don't get sad," you said, poking his cheek before moving slightly back as there was a knock on the door.

"Aegon?" came Daeron's voice, he called out your name next.

[koiturine]

a first kiss is supposed to be a pretty foundational thing, isn't it? it's something i usually try and get out of the way as soon as possible. if you can't even stand the feeling of their lips, the relationship has no future.

how's that worked out for me in the past? i'll give you a hint: it's our third date and i haven't kissed koi yet.

i'd like to think i'm pretty good at reading people, and it's obvious that he has some insecurities about it. i sure can't blame him. just about any bit of affection is a roll of the dice. sometimes he'll hug me back. sometimes he'll shrink right up. sometimes he gives heartfelt compliments. other times he gives cheesy one-liners in a cute attempt to flirt with me.

i thought koi was dead for over five years, and the last thing i want is to lose him again. every time i lose a gamble, i take two steps back. to the point we moved from holding hands to just walking next to each other.

he's rambling about the unbelievable shopping trip he had the other day, and even though it's hilarious, i gotta say i'm a little scared.

this much risk management isn't exactly typical for me, but it's a sacrifice i'm willing to take to keep him around. respect the space, and it'll be way worth the return on investment. i can already tell with the way he keeps looking at my hand. curiosity is always the first step. and a massive relief, i was getting seriously impatient.

"oh! here's the place!" dammit. koi stops to walk in front of me inside the restaurant he wanted to show me. "uh... table for two? or do we wanna sit at the bar?" he turns over to me like i care. "let's do the bar."

he skitters over to a seat near-ish the middle, giving me just enough room to sit next to him. "is it usually this crowded?" even weirder, i actually want to have the little booth with just the two of us. koi's hand twitches.

never mind, i'm too close to that return on investment to give up now. "no, not on tuesday at least... or..." koi chews on his memory of this place. favorite place in the area, but he shows some self control. good. "i can never tell the difference between tuesday and thursday! can't believe they'd just let them start with the same letter, it just makes planning shit out that much more annoying."

i'm still poking through the menu, but koi is a big boy. he can order his piña colada all by himself. "saturday and sunday isn't any better."

"actually it is! they're both the weekend, so who cares?" when i start our tab, he scooches his seat closer to mine. his body starts leaning in my direction, but something stops him before getting his head on my shoulder. "such a tease..." i take every crumb of hope he carelessly leaves behind. without them, it's making me pretty antsy.

the feeling of not being good enough just can't get out of my head. did i give him too much too fast?

"one sec, i gotta take a quick stop in the restroom."

i'm not gone for long, but apparently long enough for someone to start talking to koi. he's always polite. no matter how drunk or forward or annoying a stranger is, he doesn't know how to defend himself. he also doesn't know the difference between friendly and flirty when it's pointed his way.

the stranger's poise tells it all. laughing with him, cracking jokes, asking about him... before he manages to touch him, i speedwalk to wrap my arm around koi without thinking about it.

"hey, jackpot."

"hey, avie--"

i kiss him before he can even finish his sentence. he heard the nickname. he knows he's taken. even though koi feels stiff as a board, the guy gets the hint. walked away without a word. did i have to do it that way? of course not.

"...sorry about that, koi. i just didn't want him to--"

he yanks me back in for a couple more kisses, arms wrapped around me and obviously making up for lost time. taking desperate breaths, practically holding on for dear life.

now that's the kind of payout i was hoping for.

[feral-mouse]

HELLO!!! GAH OMG IF I'M NOT TOO LATE- MAY I REQUEST 🎸 , 🥩 AND🍷 FOR BO?? 😭😭😭 I love them soooo MUCH 🗣️🗣️ GRGAH 👹❤️❤️🐄🐄 ..babuahw THANK YOU! 🙏

YOU'RE NOT TOO LATE, THANK YOU FOR SENDING IN AN ASK, THIS WAS REALLY FUN TO ANSWER 😭❤️❤️❤️. Honestly if anyone ever wants to send in an ask, it's never too late, even if the ask is like months old at that point lol

🎸 (electric guitar) - What’s your character’s music taste like? Do they have one or two artists they play on repeat or do they have a varied and eclectic collection of music? Do they like mainstream artists or prefer underground musicians? What genres do they enjoy?

So forgive me because personally, I am horrible at identifying music genres 👀💦. But Bo definitely leans more towards rock/alt/punk music. She LOVES that shit. If it's dark or intense, and just something you can jam out too, it's going on his playlist. He sort of has a mix between specific artists that he enjoys, like Will Wood and In This Moment, but also he does have just a bunch of random songs that he likes, and does NOT know the band of pajdjks. He'll know the names, but not the artists 😭. It doesn't really matter how mainstream they are either. If Bo likes it, they're listening to it on repeat. He does also enjoy musicals and will listen to the entire soundtrack until he knows all the lyrics 😌

🥩 (steak) - Does your oc have any coping mechanisms? Healthy or unhealthy?

Haha, he doesn't really have the healthiest of coping mechanisms 👀💦 pajfjkes. They're definitely the type to run away or distance themselves. Will definitely roam around at night, specifically looking for trouble. Really, they just need anything to distract themselves from their thoughts. The healthiest coping mechanisms they do have is consuming themselves with busy work, or riding around on their motorcycle for hours on end and then proceeding to get lost because of their poor sense of direction lol

🍷 (wine) - Does your oc drink? What kind of alcohol do they enjoy? What are their drinking habits? What kind of drunk are they?

She really enjoys sweet drinks, whether it's milkshakes, soda, or juice (her favorite is apple juice). She's still very new to alcohol, and even though it tastes bitter and she doesn't enjoy it as much, she's still going out of her way to try out new drinks. Even though she only really drinks like. Once every few months though lol. They think drinking is cool, and they wanna be able to at least tell the difference between the different types. That thang has to be SWEET and SUGARY though for her to really enjoy it pskjcjs. So far, she really enjoys daiquiris and piña coladas

She's a very sleepy drunk. She's the type to start swaying and has trouble keeping their eyes open. They are resting their head down on whatever they can, and just speaking whatever comes to mind. They get delirious lol, lots of sleepy ramblings and slurred laughing. Will definitely lean on your shoulder and rest their eyes 😌
