You tell them you paid $200 to put premium air in your tires.
Anon! I am SCREAMING! This prompt has me cackling in the best way possible. I know that this comes from a TikTok trend, and I've seen a few of the videos under this prank, and they're absolutely hilarious. I had a very fun time with this one. Giggled during the world writing process. Presented in four drabbles. Enjoy!

John Price
“Love,” breathes John, placing his hands on either side of you. “You did what?”
“The low tire pressure light came on—”
“I know that. After.”
“I stopped at the shop you always take my car to. They offered me premium air.”
John takes a shuddering breath. “Premium air?”
“Yes,” you beam. “I got a good deal.”
“A good deal?” he repeats.
“Half off! Two hundred dollars.”
John blinks. His face growing pale. “What?”
You wave your hand flippantly. “It’s usually four hundred.”
“Four hundred?” John’s voice spikes, almost cracking.
“Helps with suspension!”
“Fucking hell. Show me the bloody receipt.”
John "Soap" MacTavish
Johnny twists in the driver seat, staring you down. “You did what?”
“I put premium air in the tires. It was a deal. Came with the oil change.”
Johnny’s mouth drops open. Closes. Opens again. “Premium air,” he says, almost absently.
“They only charged me two hundred.”
“Two hundred?” chokes Johnny.
“Why?” you ask innocently. “Is that bad?”
“Bloody hell, love,” he groans, leaning back in his seat, closing his eyes.
“Used your credit card for the points, too!” you beam, giving Johnny your best smile.
Johnny sighs and starts the car. “You’re lucky you’re cute and I love you.”
Kyle "Gaz" Garrick
“Baby, listen.”
“It’s great, isn’t it? It’ll help with the balance.”
“The balance?” asks Kyle. He mutters your name and then rubs his hands over his face.
“Should I not have gotten the premium air upgrade?” you ask.
Kyle is hanging by a thread. He breathes deep, and holds his hands out in front of him.
“Do you have the receipt?
“No.”
“Where did you take the car?”
You frown. “I did it for you. Are you not happy?”
Kyle sighs. “I love you. I am grateful. Just tell me where you went. I only want to talk with them.”
Simon "Ghost" Riley
“I said the tires needed to be rotated.”
“I know,” you say. “But they made me an offer. Said it was a good deal.”
“Premium air?”
“Yes,” you shrug. “And?”
Simon goes red in the face. “How much did they charge for ‘premium air?’”
“Two hundred.”
Simon stares up at the sky. “And how much did they charge you for the tire rotation.”
“One fifty.”
“Fucking hell,” he mutters. “Get in the fucking car.”
“Why?” you snap. “Did I do something wrong?”
Simon sighs loudly. “No. Just want to talk to the fucking wanker that sold you premium fucking air.”

Welcome to the Transformers Fandom
Did you just see Transformers One? It was good, wasn't it? Do you want to be fannish about it? This post is for you.
First thing to know is we use the tag maccadam. This practice dates back to when the live action movies would flood the Transformers tag with actor pics. Maccadam is where you will find the robots. It is a reference to Maccadam's Old Oil House. A bar found in some continuities. You can still use the Transformers tag
Speaking of references. Let me introduce you to your new best friend: TFWiki. The Transformers Wiki is the place to go if you want to know anything about Transformers. Shows, Movies, Comics, Books, Toys. It's all there. We're spoiled with how good this wiki is. Thanks, guys.
Now you don't have to watch more Transfomers to be a fan. If you loved the movie you're already a fan. You don't have to ever watch another thing and you are still a fan and welcome here. But I'm betting you want to see more Transfomers. Here are some other continuities and where to find them. This is not an extensive list. This is a starter pack.
The Transformers (1984) AKA Generation 1 AKA G1. The original that started it all. Dubious 80s animation and some of the greatest voice actors of all time. Available on Tubi for free.
Beast Wars AKA TFBW. If G1 started everything Beast Wars is what kept it from dying out. Absolutely bleeding edge computer animation in the 90s. It's, uh, very dated, but the story and voice acting still hold up and I recommend giving it a chance. Available on Tubi for free.
Transformers Animated AKA TFA (yes we fought the Star Wars folks over that tag) Debuted the same year as the first Live Action Movie. It is very anime influenced and shows a very different side to our favorite characters. One of the more popular shows in the fandom. Available on Tubi for free. Also on Pluto
Transformers Prime AKA TFP AKA Prime. Another very popular show with the fandom. Part of the Aligned continuity which featured books, games, and other shows. This is probably closest to Transformers One in characterization and I would recommend making this your next watch if you can. The First season is on Netflix with the rest available on Tubi. Yeah I don't know what is up with that.
Rescue Bots AKA TFRB This is a Show for Preschoolers, but don't let that scare you away. It is one of the best Transformers shows. Somehow also part of the Aligned continuity. Season one is on Netflix and it is also available on Pluto
Transformers Cyberverse AKA Cyberverse AKA TFCV. A fun Bumblebee focused show. Very few humans. Season 1 is on Hasbro's YouTube channel, Season 3 (????) is on Netflix, Also on Pluto.
Transformers EarthSpark AKA TFES. The most recent show. Lots of new characters and a new side to Megatron that I love. On Paramount+ and YouTube premium.
Live Action Movies. There are 7 live action movies the first 5 are directed by Micheal Bay and are collectively known as the Bayverse The other two movies Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, are also sometimes lumped in with Bayverse. It is debated if they are reboots or prequels. Personally Bumblebee is my favorite. They are all available on Paramount+
Comics. Comics have been part of Transformers from the very beginning. First with Marvel and later with other publishers. Marvel Dreamwave and IDW are the best known publishers. IDW is still very popular in fandom. Currently comics are being published by Skybound. Unfortunately finding out of print comics can be very difficult/expensive and I recommend checking TFWIKI for summaries if you can't find them.

ellie, babygirl, and sarah would be absolute chaos for joel, ik this man would be so tired with the three of them. 💀💀
i just know they would prank the shit out of him all the time. like sarah and ellie would do one of those tik tok pranks where you make your parents think you’ve just been arrested. omg joel would have a heart attack and just lose his mind on the phone while the older two are laughing and babygirl is just 😲😲😲
Joel's 3 girls have aged him beyond his time. Bro is 36 but feels 86, and it's not even baby girl's fault, she's just an unwilling participant in her big sister's pranks on their dad. They call him when he's out getting groceries because hello he has 2 big gremlins and a tiny angel to feed and they're like
so y/n might or might not be stuck up in the attic
And you best believe that Joel is flooring it home, only to find that baby girl's chilling in the living room watching power rangers. (Ellie's idea for sure, no way her baby sister is watching that stupid girly shit?) Ellie and Sarah? on the floor in tears. And when Sarah learns to drive, she 100% does that prank where she tells Joel that she had to pay $400 for an oil change and then a further $300 for premium air in her tires.
Poor Joel.

if you were extremely gullible about your car and got totally scammed at an auto shop, and then told bandit wow, things are so pricey these days, you just paid a whooping $700 (~€636) for an oil change—
Bandit going dead silent and staring at you completely aghast. “Seven hundred dollars. For an oil change?”
And you’re hesitating, suddenly nervous. Is there something wrong with that? uuhhh and premium air too… for the… tires?
Absolutely no expression whatsoever on his face when he repeats premium air back to you, stressing each syllable carefully like it’s the first time he’s ever heard of it.
Oh, he’d be so pissed off by the blatantly absurd scam, he wouldn’t even call the place to complain, nah this is a matter that must be settled with him directly looking into the person’s eyes and softly daring them to try him. He’d personally drive you straight down to the shop, muttering oaths in German and lecturing you all the way (never pay more than sixty, if even that, for an oil change, there’s no such thing as premium air, Schatzi, they robbed you, why didn’t you call him? he could’ve done it for you for free— no, do not worry if he is busy or not, he will make time— next time, call yadayadayada), makes you point out the crook who quoted you, says some choice words in a voice so low and menacing, it’ll have them hurriedly handing you all of your money back, stammering apologies for disrespecting you.
And he’s stopping by a mcdonalds on the way back to get a black coffee for him and something for you too, i throw in this bc i am craving mcdonalds rn

hi! do you have any recommendations for skin nourishment? saw the patrick bateman room on your twt❤️
hi nonnie well first of all thank you for describing my very normal room like That and secondly yes absolutely!! the harsh uk weather is my nemesis so i curated my routine to be as nourishing as possible. disclaimer that you definitely don’t need all of these products; i just happen to have super sensitive skin that is prone to dry patches and i also kind of love having a specific routine it’s very therapeutic #patrickbatemancorefr... so without further ado here are my recs 💌
1. clinique take the day off cleansing balm
i haven’t touched makeup wipes in about 7 years because they tended to irritate my skin especially around my eyes so i swapped to this cleansing balm and it’s amazing at removing even the most stubborn makeup efficiently without feeling harsh at all 💆♀️
2. ren skincare evercalm gentle cleansing milk
i used to think cleansers were supposed to make your face feel “squeaky clean” until i realised that just meant my skin was being stripped of its natural oils 😭 this is by far the most gentle cleanser i’ve found and i’ve tried a TON none of which can compare like this is srsly such a uniquely soothing product
3. origins drink up intensive overnight hydrating mask
this mask is my absolute fave 🌟 it’s marketed as an overnight mask so sometimes i’ll use it in place of my moisturiser but more often than not i just leave it on for a few hours while i study and it leaves my skin feeling so nice and rejuvenated yippee
4. hada labo gokujyun premium hyaluronic acid lotion
ok this is called a ‘lotion’ but it technically functions as a serum imo and it’s truly my ride or die product i can’t even tell you how many bottles i’ve gone through. it’s comprised of 7 kinds of hyaluronic acid so it is ultra-ultra-moisturising and it makes my skin feel so bouncy and hydrated yass 💧
5. kiehl’s creamy eye treatment with avocado
this is the only eye treatment i think actually made a significant difference out of all the ones i’ve used. it’s so creamy you just need the tiniest amount and it melts so nicely into my skin 🙌 i suffer from super dry undereyes and eyelids and this honest to god saved my life #kiehlsstan4eva
6. caudalie vineactive overnight detox oil
okay firstly i’m obsessed with how this face oil smells it’s like being transported to a spa but more importantly i love how it absorbs into my skin without feeling greasy in the slightest <- i didn’t even know that was possible with an oil. tbh idgaf about the anti-aging claims but this noticeably makes my skin feel sooo soft when i wake up in the morning so i highly recommend!
7. la roche-posay cicaplast baume b5
this is not marketed specifically as a moisturiser but i use it as one LOL. this is my ultimate holy grail i cannot emphasise enough how it totally transformed my skin esp. in the winter months it is so freaking nourishing and i will repurchase it forever and ever 🫶
and that wraps up my list!! honorary mentions go to the kiehl’s ultra facial cream which was my fav moisturiser before i discovered cicaplast and basically anything from the innisfree green tea range 🍵
#this is probably way more in depth than u cared about HAHA i'm sorry im just a skincare fanatic and i loved the opportunity to ramble :^)#i hope this helps nonnie <3#i went thru a LOT of trial and error with skincare when i moved to the uk so i can firmly vouch for all of these as 10/10s#hari influencer era#<- the resurgence of this tag... slayage

Addressing H2S in Downstream Processes: Refining and Petrochemical Applications
Hazardous gas management is an absolute necessity in the complex arena of the refining and petrochemical industries. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is very poisonous and poses a threat to both people and the environment, making it one of the most dangerous gases around. Downstream operations, especially in the refining and petrochemical industries, face a significant challenge from hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a highly poisonous, combustible, and odorous gas that forms when sulphur compounds in crude oil break down. Health hazards, including respiratory difficulties and nausea, have been linked to even brief exposure to even trace amounts. Safeguarding lives and operations with the cutting-edge H2S scavenger solutions offered by Imperial Oilfield Chemicals – an excellent H2S Scavenger Chemical manufacturer in India.
Management options that work include constant monitoring, confinement, chemical treatment, and staff education and development. These sectors protect their workers and the environment from H2S hazards through preventative measures, without sacrificing productivity. This article discusses H2S and its significance in the refining and petrochemical industries, including its origins, risks, and efficient methods of control.
Understanding the Origins and Hazards of H2S:
The odour of hydrogen sulphide is sometimes compared to that of rotten eggs, despite the gas being odourless and unpleasant. It is present in several steps of the downstream processes, especially in the refining of crude oil and the manufacturing of petrochemicals. H2S is produced in large part due to the oxidation of sulfur-containing molecules present in crude oil. This implies that the possible emission of H2S is a constant risk when refineries process crude oil to produce useful products like petrol, diesel and jet fuel. Beyond boundaries, beyond H2S threats. Get started with Imperial Oilfield Chemicals - a top-ranking H2S Scavenger Chemical exporter in Libya for recognised chemical exports!
H2S poses serious dangers in a number of different ways. Exposure to even trace amounts might cause symptoms like respiratory irritation, itchy eyes, queasy stomach, headache, and dizziness. Exposure to higher concentrations for longer periods of time can cause serious health problems, including respiratory failure and death. Because of H2S's high combustibility and explosive potential, strict control measures are required to ensure the integrity of plant safety and forestall disasters.
Effective Approaches to Mitigate H2S Risks:
Given the severity of the risks, the refining and petrochemical industries use a variety of techniques to reduce the likelihood of being exposed to H2S. The industry's dedication to environmental responsibility is highlighted by these measures, which also guarantee the safety of operations. Global solutions for local safety. Request a quote for premium H2S scavenger chemical solutions from Imperial Oilfield Chemicals – a trusted H2S Scavenger Chemical exporter in Gujarat today!
Detection and Continuous Monitoring: The constant monitoring and rapid identification of H2S concentrations are foundational to effective control of the gas. Operators can detect H2S in real-time with the help of modern gas detection systems that come with cutting-edge sensors and alerts. This allows for quick reactions and appropriate interventions to reduce any risk of exposure.
Containment and Ventilation: Limiting H2S emissions requires careful containment of any activities that produce the gas, as well as good ventilation. Good ventilation helps get rid of H2S in the workplace, reducing the risk of exposure.
Chemical Scavenging: To neutralise H2S, chemical scavengers are commonly used. These chemicals are meant to trap H2S molecules in their vapour phase and neutralise them before they escape into the air. This has two advantages: it stops pollution and protects people's health.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Training: The most important step in protecting workers from H2S is providing them with proper PPE, such as gas masks and full-body suits. Workers can learn more about the dangers of H2S and acquire the skills they need to respond appropriately in an emergency thanks to extensive training programmes.
Process Optimization: The production of H2S can be reduced by the use of process optimisation strategies at refineries and petrochemical facilities. Changing the parameters of operation or adopting new technologies that slow the breakdown of sulphur compounds could be necessary.
Final Thoughts:
Ethically and legally, the refining and petrochemical industries must ensure that hydrogen sulphide is effectively managed in downstream processes. The multifaceted approach taken to mitigate H2S concerns includes detection in real-time, training for workers, chemical treatment, and process improvements. H2S management techniques, which promote safer operational environments and sustainable practices, will need to evolve as these industries adapt to meet rising worldwide needs.
All parties involved in the refining and petrochemical industries have a responsibility to manage H2S in a proactive manner. These sectors contribute to a safer and more environmentally responsible future by prioritising the deployment of effective mitigation methods, which in turn reduces the risks associated with H2S exposure. Maintaining a focus on H2S management is critical to creating more secure workplaces, protecting natural habitats, and laying a solid groundwork for these industries to expand. Delivering H2S safety across borders – Partner with Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, your trusted H2S Scavenger Chemical supplier in Libya!

the rude roommate
There’s a presence following us everywhere. Insinuating itself into our lives, as we enjoy movies, TV shows and music. This rude roommate not only lives with us, but follows us to school, to work and everywhere else that we go, constantly blathering to wear us down. Posing as an indulgent pal, it offers tasty treats, with “go on, you’re worth it!” encouragements. Then, morphing into the concerned friend, it chides us “you’re getting some love handles there, buddy!” and pushes snake oil for that too. Yes, I’m talking about the shifting personas of ADVERTISING.
You don’t truly notice the ever-present & manipulative jibber jabber of advertising till it’s not a part of your life. It’s like cigarette smoking in this. I was raised by on-again-off-again smokers, and for many years worked in offices permeated by ever present cigarette smoke. Soaking in it everywhere for my entire life, it was only upon moving to California (where it’d just been banned) that I truly became aware of smoking. After living smoke-free, I couldn’t believe the stench when visiting places that still allowed it in communal spaces. My own hair & clothes reeked of it, even though I didn’t smoke myself. Bleurgh!
Likewise, after soaking in advertising my entire life, I’ve only recently lived in a (relatively) ad-free bubble, enjoying media streaming services at home for the last few years. We just watched a movie in a cinema for the first time since 2019. Tickets were almost 20 dollars each for comfortable reserved seating in a beautiful theatre. Then we had to endure 30 minutes of constant advertising blather before the film. Not movie trailers mind you, but ads for clothes, soft drinks and so on. After living ad-free, this was excruciating, and eye-opening. Absence had not made my heart grow fonder. Quite the opposite.
The deal used to be that we tolerated the buzz of ads - like blowflies at a picnic - in exchange for free movies & music (on radio & TV). Nowadays, I pay extra for the ad-free option with entertainment media. Which is a blackmail shakedown - “Pay us, or you have to watch another incontinence commercial” - but at least I understand the terms of that arrangement. I don’t understand (or accept) any deal where I pay AND get ads too (which is why I didn’t have cable TV for very long). If theatres want us to come back en masse after the stay-at-home-years of covid, then making the experience special is key. For me, paying premium prices to watch Madison Avenue Punch & Judy shows is an absolute no no.
Advertising is RUDE. The constant interruptions are simply annoying, but the purpose of the messages is insidious. In our real lives we are wary of people who constantly broadcast their own PR, because they’re trying to manipulate our perceptions of them. We must be on extra high alert for those who tell us what we are, because they’re trying to manipulate our own perceptions of ourselves.These are the goals of advertising’s trillion dollar industry. It is a nonstop psyop, fanning our hopes and inflaming our insecurities for profit.
“The spectacle of advertising creates images of false beauty so suave and so impossible to attain that you will hurt inside and never even know where the hurt comes from.” - Robert Montgomery
Ever since humans first gathered around fires and hearths, we’ve related to each other via stories. Stories are ‘lies’, in that many of them are 100% made up, but we know that and sharing them is fun. Besides, there may actually be a truth within the story. A parable. However, the human love of stories makes us vulnerable to manipulation by stories too. This is well known on Madison Avenue. Advertising subverts the parable, where the parable’s ‘moral’ has been substituted with a plug for Brand-X.
It used to be that everyone was served the exact same ads at the same time, but we now live in the era of micro-targeted advertising. After sneakily looking through our private data, the rude roommate can now identify & hammer on each of our specific ‘problem areas’. Despite my attempts at internet ad-blocking, the rude roommate has a fairly accurate demographic profile of me, and websites I visit now display ads of male middle aged losers, worried about their dicks, bald spots, love handles & baggy eyes. The rude roommate has custom-curated these parables just for moi. If advertising was indeed your roommate, an actual person, they’d be the worst person you know. A passive aggressive, gaslighting master manipulator, and the last person you’d want constantly whispering in your ear.
“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. — They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.” - Banksy
“Narrative” has become a buzz word, and Hollywood folk (including story artists) now give story seminars to big companies. Wall Street, Langley, & Silicon Valley understand the appeal of storytelling, and Washington & Whitehall both use Spin Doctors to “get ahead of the story" and "control the narrative". The NSA & CIA know a little about narrative manipulation too, and even they are wary of internet advertising propaganda, and use ad-blocking software. Takes one to know one, right? Speaking of that, my own growing allergy to advertising is surely punishment for years of participation in the mass hypnosis. Yes, at one time I enabled the rude roommate, by animating parables that enticed kids to eat sugar bombs for breakfast..
Mea culpa!
Given that advertising so often subverts artforms, artists have been known to return the favour. B.U.G.A.U.P. was a collective of Sydney graffiti artists active in the 1970s/80s who specifically targeted advertising, very active when I lived in that city. Their special brandalism defaced advertising billboards to subvert the intended message of the ad, revealing the hidden truth of the unhealthy product itself. These wittily-defaced billboards on commuter routes in Sydney were talking points at office coffee pots & tea urns each morning.
Their movement spread to other cities in Australia and even to other countries (I often wondered whether Banksy knew about them) and B.U.G.A.U.P. activism ultimately led to a ban on cigarette advertising in Australia in 1994. Advertising’s corrupted parables RE-made into truth telling parables again. Utterly brilliant.

S.H Figuarts Son Gohan & Pan
- from Dragon Ball Super Hero
- by Bandai & Premium Bandai
Quick Shot
From Dragon Ball Super Hero - aka How Gohan Got His Groove Back - comes Gohan and Pan.
Pan was a (very recent) Premium Bandai release, and comes with an extra head for Papa Gohan - shown here.
Gohan is still available at regular retail for under $40usd - and it is an absolutely incredible figure.
The new body sculpt is the single best do-gi (the martial arts uniforms they all wear) sculpt they've done yet, and the new articulation and musculature are astounding for the price of this toy.
Pan is very fun and emotive - a great new take on the chibi style body they've been using for the Dragon Ball kids.
But word of advice to anyone getting their Pan - every joint on this figure is tight.
Make sure you use a little shock oil on the joints and rotate them gently before you pose her.

Fuck it. The current yearnings and what we got each other for Christmas. Under the cut because I feel so fucking silly 😭
47: You know the books that have pages cut out to conceal a gun? Yeah I got him one of those and a bunch of other ways to conceal his guns/weapons. He got me a Halloween Squishmallow. Yes he bought it in October and hid it until Christmas <3
Diana: I got her a little gold heart locket with a photo of her, 47, and me in it!!! She wears it almost all the time hehe. She got me a long pretty red dress that can match with her black one!!!!
Arthur: I had a small crisis trying to think what I'd get him bc of the time period LMAO- anyway some premium cigarettes and a knife with our initials engraved on the blade. He gives me one of his shirts that doesn't fit him but would fit me and a bottle of expensive alcohol he absolutely did not steal.
Karl: A bar of soap /j. No but I'd get him a TV and a N64 console because he deserves to play Mario 64 damnit!! He makes me a bracelet with his House symbol engraved on one of the charms. The bracelet itself he didn't make, he bought it and made a new charm!
Lucifer: I don't think he celebrates Christmas tbh? I feel like we'd do the nice dinner part but not the gift parts. But that's just as valid and fun!!! We made our own pizzas :D
Aizawa: I would get him the whole world if I could oh my god. But I cannot give him the whole world so I instead can give him a wearable blanket! It's got cats on it. He got me a bunch of succulents and a sweater that says 'plant dad' to go with <3
Niko: We'd have a chill and low-key Christmas to ourselves, watching movies and cuddling. Also I think he'd get a gift we could both make use of, like a blanket or a board game? Anyway he got us a nice set of Battleship hehe
Pierce: I don't think he would celebrate either! Maybe put some lights up but otherwise it's just another day. But since this is our first Christmas together, he would get me a little gift. A Zippo lighter with 'my anchor' engraved in it, done by himself! I'd get him a better couch for his office, one with lots of pillows and comfy to sleep on.
Sully: As revenge (/lh) for him stringing mistletoe everywhere he gets to just have me sitting under the tree with a bow on my head. Which he would probably get a kick out of. I mean he also gets a nice cigar box with a map of the world on it but! He gets me a nice comfy robe. Just a soft fuckin cozy robe bc I am almost always cold.
Codsworth: He'd cook up the best food he can for me!! With all the love in his sweet little sphere body!!! He also lets me put some ornaments on his arms 🥺🥺 I'd get him like...two cans of oil so he can stay afloat <3
Luna: A HOUSE WITH BETTER WINDOW LOCKS /j. Nah but I'd get her this Squishmallow!! Because she deserves it. She got me a pen,,,the ones that look like this: ✒️ !
Jaskier: I get him a fancy pocket watch with a lyric from one of the songs he wrote for/about me on it!! He gets me a leather bound notebook, one with a fuckton of pages and high quality too.
Geralt: I get him a good fucking sword cleaning kit and some assorted treats for Roach! I think he would run out of time to get something because he's not uh. used to buying gifts. So he ends up getting a little wood carved daisy for me, which I wear on a chain. (daisies mean a lot to me IRL and it's my self insert's name so it's cute af)
Gordon: A fuckin break!! We relax!! We cuddle in bed and take a long warm bath together and then cuddle some more!! Fuck!! We both deserve this!!!
#tw christmas mention#💜; the a team#🌼; his lawman#🔨; oh beloved#💘; devil's dancemate#🧣; captured hearts#❤️🩹; and still i will live here...#🔑; opened up the sky to get one last kiss!#💰; he's my treasure#🪛; struck by your electric love!#❣️; nothing fucks with my baby#🥩; i'll build you up buttercup#🗡️; questing together#🥽; goggled and dangerous#tumblr glitched and deleted Gordon and jask/geralt's part >:(#anyway!!!!!!#christmas 2022#self ship post#idk what to tag this with#anyway!!! luna always has the Squishmallow on our bed <3#feel free to ask what other f/os get and got me!!!#i just did the current yearnings bc uh. head full#(ik geralt isn't on the 'current yearnings' list but i felt like it would be a crime to not include him)#(i love him and jask EQUALLY damnit!!!!)#anyway anyway <333
