🌟 New

Your communities are now sorted by their title, not their URL/handle, since you can’t see that in the list.

We’re slowly rolling out the ability to add a campaign goal and a special action button to your Blazed posts.

🛠 Fixed

Some of you were unable to queue or draft posts on Monday. This has now been fixed.

Many of you were unable to find your posts yesterday in the search and tag listings. This has now been fixed, and the posts are being re-indexed, which could take up to 24 hours.

🚧 Ongoing

We are aware that ads are interrupting background audio in the latest version of the iOS app (36.5) and are working on a fix.

In the iOS app, adding tags to a queued/drafted reblog will remove its queue/draft state, meaning the action button switches to “Reblog” which publishes the reblog if tapped. The fix will be in version 36.8 of the iOS app. For now, either add tags to those on the Web, or be extra careful about checking the action button before tapping it.

🌱 Upcoming

No upcoming launches to announce today.

hey🤫psst yeah you! wanna stop Congress from criminalizing and shutting down pro-Palestine, pro-Black and pro-LGBTQ organizations and student groups? i got you. Congress is re-introducing a bill Monday 11/18 and voting Wednesday👀

the tl;dr is that HR 9495 would give the government the ability to brand nonprofits, including student orgs and other groups as criminal “terror” orgs. Congress voted it down once narrowly but are trying to ram it through again. more on that⤵️

why nonprofits? because whether it's Palestine or Stop Cop City or helping houseless people, national nonprofits have the resources to launch lawsuits for human rights violations. and because your student groups have shaken shit up.

what can we do? we’re gonna go and sign the petitions (literally just like two minutes)

next we’re gonna post about it on our socials and light up those Congressional phone lines like it’s a hallmark holiday movie.

the clock for this bill runs out Wednesday. so make your calls and send your emails.

One of my friends tried convincing me that ChatGPT was smart, so I did a little experimenting.

TLDR; it's dumb. it's real dumb. like. obscenely stupid.

this was supposed to be an easy question for it:

I asked this just after midnight on Sunday, April 21, 2024. I would have accepted Saturday as an answer, but it insisted on Wednesday and Friday several times. No idea why.

Next, I wanted to see if it knew things about internet culture. It knew who @pukicho was when I asked, so

rightbefore this, it acknowledged pukicho as, direct quote "sarcastic, rude, and witty," so I have no idea how it got this.

to test it's knowledge cutoffs, I asked it:

Oh, great! It knows about the SA2 fandub, too! Let's test it's ability to continue a conversation.

...it forgot the question I asked it immediately before this.

I thought this might be the case. It can't hold a thread of conversation. So I clarified:

okay, yeah, it just needed context to be re-fed to it. even then, though, IT DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION? all it said was "it dont count so who care" which made me wonder if it could count

It was wrong again. for two reasons this time. Susan should still have counted because she did attend, and it completely ignored the speaker. The robot that runs companies is worse at word problems than I was in second grade.

I wondered if I was somehow being lied to, and that reminded me of an hbomberguy video. on a whim, I asked it:

this is incredibly odd. If it was using the number that guiness provided at the time, it should have said three. if it was using any of the numbers that tommy provided, it should have said either four, five, or seven. it said zero.

This was as of January 2022, BEFORE the hbomberguy video and BEFORE they got a record removed. Even if it's knowledge cutoff was more recent and it lied, it should have said two.

I wondered if it struggled with their website or something, so I asked it something pertaining to another website (and yes, I made sure the information was before it's knowledge cutoff)

Okay, so it can navigate NexusMods. great. It even included the mod's author, and was right about that. but, hang on...

IT'S LITERALLY WRONG!! IT IS ELEVEN MONTHS OFF!! HOW!? IT'S WRITTEN IN PLAINTEXT ON THE WEBSITE, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ISSUES HERE? WHAT!? HOW!? HOW IS IT THIS FUCKING STUPID!?

to see if it really was just stupid, I tried one last question.

yup, it's dumb.

"Shh, it's just me." 🎇

@martieshub

He hadn't meant to doze off, but the trip was longer than he remembered. Jolie had been right though, about leaving Wednesday and giving them time to rest. Without wanting to, Aaron had taken advantage of that - with his unplanned nap in the guest room. He was usually a heavy sleeper, able to sleep through everything - once even slept through an earthquake. However, Aaron hadn't mentioned to her that since he had to re-learn how to sleep on his own, he had lost the ability for deep slumber. So, the sound of the bedroom door opening was enough to snap him awake. Aaron quickly turned over in the bed, as if he was caught doing something wrong. His eyes squinted as he adjusted his vision. The room was dark, the only light coming from the hallway. How long had he been asleep? "Jolie...hi." The relief was evident in his voice as he registered that it was her in the doorway. Dreams usually just started this way, but when he woke up, she was never there. This was a first. "Sorry," hand running over his face, trying to dispel the remaining grogginess. "I didn't mean to sleep that long. You okay? Come here, sit. What's up?"

WIP Wednesday - lifeguard position

Got excited about this post and the details added by @sky-kenobye and now my fic for the @obikinlifeguardau collection is about Anakin accidentally turning in a HR nightmare with his cover letter to apply for the open lifeguard position.

To: Aquatics Director Kenobi

From: Anakin Skywalker

Re: lifeguard training and certification position

I am applying for the lifeguard instructor opening at your facility. I have been a lifeguard at my local YMCA for 10 years. I have experience with swimmers of all ages and abilities and hold my branch's unofficial record for carreer saves, but that's not why you should hire me.

I'm the best candidate because I take training and preparation seriously. I know if given the chance I could show you the [blah blah blahhhhhhhhhh reference job description specifics here] ///

You don't remember me, but I remember you.

You were on staff the summer I went to junior lifeguard camp.

You were a walking wet dream. You rode our asses so hard, not willing to accept anything less than perfection from a group of horny teens ogling each other in bathing suits, because it might make the real difference between life and death. You were strict and borderline mean and sexy as hell.

And fuck did I want you to ride me so hard.

Last month at the wiki — May 2024

On the first Wednesday of every month (or, best we can to it), we highlight significant work done in the previous month by our editing community at Encyclopedia Exandria.

As always, we start with a selection of articles created in the highlighted month. You can find more at the 50 newest pages report.

Rimecleft, mountain in Issylra featured in The Legend of Vox Machina

Ted 2, Opal's spider familiar

The Highest Light, city in Midst

Yore Mirror, magical item used by the Unseelie Court

Exandrian Accord, coalition opposing the Ruby Vanguard

The Menagerie (adventuring party), of the Daggerheart one-shots

Hieronymous Loxlee, character in Midst

Live shows, episodes performed before an in-person audience

Phoenix, elemental

Weapons of the Spectral Hand, group of legendary magical items

It's been a busy month in May just keeping up with the programming schedule, which has been getting quite lengthy these days! You can always check out what's coming up in the schedule in our upcoming events article.

We've added The Re-Slayer's Take to our routine coverage, with individual articles for each episode. You can explore the topic area starting with our category for the series. In accordance with our spoiler policy, we update as episodes hit the public feed.

The new Critical Role Abridged also provides us with illustrations for many characters, creatures, and objects! As Encyclopedia Exandria has chosen to use only official art—that is, art that is commissioned by the production—this gives us opportunity to finally have images on many of our articles, like Cyrus Wyvernwind and Green Seekers. On the subject of images, many images from The World Of Critical Role have also been added to the wiki to grace our articles, like Sorrowsworn.

Beacon's launch also gave us arcs for Campaign 3: Bells Hells! This allows us to (finally) organize our episode list into narrative arcs rather than in chunks of 25 episode, and it gives us the ability to organize character articles in this way as well.

The Israeli news website YNET reported the details:

Syria TV, a Syrian opposition media outlet based in Turkey, reported on Wednesday that Israeli ground forces were deployed using ropes as part of the Israeli strike in the Hama region on Sunday, although Israeli aircraft didn’t land in the area. The report claimed that Israeli drones carried out strikes to prevent entry to the area where the forces landed. The unprecedented Israeli operation in Syria reportedly included several steps: starting with intense airstrikes in the area after which Israeli forces infiltrated an Iranian military complex after lowering from helicopters to the ground and ending with troops seizing documents and arresting Iranians inside of the facility for questioning. According to the report, clashes at the site led to the deaths of three Syrians and injured others. Two to four Iranians were reportedly captured by Israeli forces. Sources indicated the Syrian regime blocked rescue teams from reaching the area following the attack. The bodies of military casualties were taken to an undisclosed location and their fate is unknown, while wounded civilians were evacuated to Masyaf National Hospital. Sources also suggested the Syrian regime or elements within it may have facilitated the strike and troop deployment. The report also noted that a committee of inquiry was established following the attack. In recent weeks, Syrian radars and air defense systems have been subjected to Israeli strikes, leading to the regime’s inability to monitor its airspace. According to Greek researcher Eva Koulouriotis, the forces raided a security complex belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in an operation that lasted about an hour, during which they entered the facility, seized equipment and documents, rigged the building with explosives and destroyed it with additional airstrikes. Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies head, Major General (res.) Tamir Hayman who previously served as the head of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, hinted the operation was “a complex commando raid that presents abilities to destroy a distant underground facility.”

Happy Wednesday Fandom. We’ve reached THE episode. Sorry little later than usual. Life didn't understand I had a review to do ha I remember not knowing what this ep would quite be. When it was done I had to pick my jaw off the floor. I was in utter shock and felt like a fever dream I was watching. Like did that really just happen? Was that real life? It’s was so exciting to have the payoff.

Even if it felt like it wasn’t real LOL Did my damn best to get everything in. I feel like I’ve become really good at this gif puzzle but eps like this really pushes me to the limit ha. God bless the gif website I found or I would be screwed haha Let’s get this started :)

5x08 The Collar

Aaron wants to shadow Angela and Harper today. He is looking into being a detective someday. So Grey re-assigns him to them and Lucy to Tim. Telling her she’s back on gopher duty. They could not be MORE suspicious or obvious if they tried my god. You know Grey knows his question about riding together is making them more uncomfortable. It's hilarious really. Trying to get them to out themselves. Instead they’re just little awko tacos staring at each other bumbling around.

He knows they’re lying with their 'No's' But he also doesn’t care. LOL They’re riding together whether they like it or not. It's amazing with their lives on the line with UC their ability to lie is amazing. Flawless really. Having to deal with their still weirdness and not show it? Abysmal. Such bad liars in this scene holy hell. The amount of awkward in this 30 seconds floors me.

From the minute Grey suggests they ride together they’re awkward dorks. Ones who don’t know complete sentences or words. This scene says so much with saying so little at the same time . There’s a reason they’ve stayed away from each other. This moment right here. They’re so very aware if they are back in a shop together everything they’ve been avoiding will come rushing back. Such a strong start to the ep for them though. Enjoyed their discomfort so much ha

We start out with them in the shop being awkward af. I loved the shots in this one and their opening one is great. With the cams coming to life and their day starting. Lucy of course is the first the break the silence. Asking him how single life is? He tells her really nice. How he didn’t have to deal with anyone complaining about him watching football all day.

Lucy giving him crap of course about never leaving the house. Things maybe weird between them but their comfortable banter hasn’t suffered. They fall right back into it with this scene. That married energy they have coming right back into play here. Gah they just balance each other out so well it’s insane. Haven’t had a couple this in-sync since Caskett on Castle.

I love him being a hermit though. He earned it after Ashley. He did whatever she damn well pleased for months. You stay home and watch your football babe. You earned it after that disaster of a relationship. Tim does defend himself a little saying he took Kojo out LOL I consider that going out too when I’m needing a hermit day. I'm with you on this Tim.

I love the affectionate way Lucy says he’s hopeless. That’s the beautiful thing about Lucy for Tim. Yeah she gives him crap but she fully loves that man for who he is. She would spend a day being a hermit with him just because it made him happy. D just wrote an amazing fic on that concept actually. (You should read it so so good) Lucy loving and accepting him for who he is and not condemning him for it. Yeah she’s teasing him for being ‘hopeless’ when really she is so fond of who he is as a person. Loves that man inside and out. You can see the adoration on her face when she delivers that line.

Just love the idea of them having lazy Sundays together now. Lucy indulging his hermit ways when he needs it. No doubt Tim indulges when she wants to be out. Because their partnership is a balanced one. Gah I love them. Chris FaceTimes her and Tim looks over and makes a face LOL god damn I love this man. Chris asks her if she’s busy? She says no…but seems not at ease with this phone call. Lucy asks where he is? He tells her an open house…They could not be more opposites in this moment. They spoke earlier about moving in and Chris jumped the gun to houses. Sprinting toward a future she doesn't want.

Lucy wasn't even on board for moving in...She is looking so very panicked. He’s going on about how it needs work but is 3 bedrooms. Tim’s interest now has been piqued and it’s stressing Lucy out for a couple reasons. She is no where near ready for this step and he’s gunning to a house. Second Tim can overhear this adding another level of stress. She doesn’t want Tim to think they are there. Because well they aren’t….Lucy cuts the phone call off abruptly. Asks if they can talk later? Chris being the clueless oaf he is doesn’t pick up on her stress at all. He says 'love you' and she says nothing in reply just ends the damn call LOL

Tim asks if they’re moving together? Lucy looks even more distressed after the phone call. Her body language screaming she’s being dragged into this situation. Kicking and screaming really. Lucy tells him no…Tim follows up with ‘He seems to think you are…’ Lucy is having a panic attack right now when he says that. The way she puts her hand on her chest. Trying to relieve the building pressure of this whole thing. Now there’s a girl ready to move in with her BF…. She seems so rattled the entire conversation with Tim.

Lucy continues on that he kind of sprang it on her this morning. He can read her discomfort like a book. So he continues his line of questioning. Which is unreal because you know the shop is a personal life free zone right Timothy? The fact that he’s the one pursuing this conversation. Being the one to ask the questions. My god how far we’ve come it’s crazy. He can tell how unsettled she is. The way he’s analyzing her and looking at her tells him everything he needs to know.

Yet he asks her ‘You guys are happy right?’ Lucy does a very unenthusiastic ‘Yeah we’re happy…’ Tim presses on like a devils advocate that is making her panic worse. Saying if that's true this is 'The next obvious steps for them then.' Lucy continuing her fake streak saying they’re “super happy.�� Ok love sure you are…As she says this she is rubbing the crap out of her tattoo. Just being a lying liar who lies right now. They get a call before the convo continues on.

Everyone gets involved in a stop Nolan and Celina have. She has a bomb collar around her neck and she becomes the focal point for everything. The tension and writing leading up to them getting her to that parking lot in immense. Even though I've seen this episode many many times that portion always gets me. It’s so sad how afraid she is and her re-evaluating her life cause of it. How empty it feels now.

Pam and John talking was heartbreaking. How all she wanted was for her mom to know she loved her ugh. Sadly she ends up dying and that’s where this scene begins for them. I truly think this SL was a motivator for Tim. One of the reasons for where we head in this one. Because it’s so easy to get bogged down with life. To fall into the going through the motions. To have regrets with having a comfort zone. Tim taking a shot based off that.

Lucy expressing how she is feeling. It was upsetting to watch as a viewer. I can’t imagine being there watching that unfold. Tim being her sounding board. Knowing how upset she is right now. Giving her feedback on what he thought was the killers motive. Talking this out because he know it'll ease her mind. Then stupid Chris calls. Blind as a bat couldn’t read Lucy if his life depended on it.

He’s not calling to see if she’s ok or how she’s doing. No he’s calling about a f*cking house. She could not be more distraught right now. What does this tool bag do? Bring up listings. I love how Tim’s eyes pan over to her. Checking in on her emotional state. Seeing she is so distraught. It’s very obvious she is upset and this is the last thing she wants to be talking about. This moment is opening her eyes to who Chris is as a person. She isn’t liking what she sees.

Her ‘wow’ sounds like she is trying to stop herself from going off on him. So ignorant and oblivious to her and what she needs right now. Lucy already wasn’t on board with this which he didn’t see. Now she’s rattled from their current case and this mofo is sending her house stuff. Lucy can’t even process this right now. Tim being her absolute hero and hearing her silent screaming bails her out. “Yelling” at her to get off the phone. Hate his line ‘He’s in a mood.’

No you’re a clueless insensitive idiot. Who he is currently saving her from. He presses about that damn listing one more time before she hangs up. Haven’t wanted to sucker punch him this badly since 4x17. Lucy can finally breathe when they hang up. She looks to her rock and says ‘Thanks.’ A very loaded and grateful one. Tim giving her the sweetest look. Fierce protector reporting for duty. Putting her first in this moment and saving her from that convo going further.

I LOVE how Tim is constantly watching and checking in on her in this episode. He handles this whole thing so well. He’s not a dick telling her to dump Chris. He’s so so god damn attuned to her emotionally. It shows so very much in this episode. Lucy loves to talk things out and yet she keeps avoiding it in this episode. Avoiding truly getting to the root of why she’s feeling the way she is.

Which is fascinating considering that’s her jam. Analyzing and breaking something down. Digging deep to see why something is the way it is. Yet on this one she is avoiding it and Tim gets her to face it. He even gives her an out if she needs it. Telling her if she doesn’t want to move in with Chris she doesn’t have to. Tim just got out of a ‘moving through the motions.’ relationship. His POV on this is excellent.

He doesn’t want to see her settle or be forced into anything she doesn’t want. Just because Chris is ready and wants it. Lucy finally starts to talk about it. Saying why doesn’t she want to move in with him? Telling Tim they never fight. Thats a huge red flag if you ask me Lucy. That’s not healthy at all. Tim telling her maybe that’s the problem here….

It’s this next line above that really gets Lucy’s thoughts in motion. Tim just did a mind f*ck when he asked her this. You can see the realization washing over her in that second gif. Because he’s not wrong. You fight because it is worth fighting for. Chris has always been this blah middle of the road nothing for her. Was a BF? Yes. Was he decent? That’s debatable…

Chris was just there as a safety net for loneliness. Now that he’s becoming more than that it’s becoming a serious issue. One she can't ignore anymore. All their glaring problems coming to light in this moment in her mind. Tim is talking her through this (which I can't get over.) With the most perfect mixture of empathy and logic. She’s slowly realizing he is NOT worth the bother.

Tim is not only pointing this out but with massive heart eyes. Telling her she deserves someone who’s worth the effort. Pre-laying all his cards on the table in this moment. She can’t break the eye contact with him after he says this. Knowing what he means by this statement. This entire episode is him being Tim ‘I’m worth the effort’ Bradford for her. The more she looks at Chris the less she likes it.

The more she looks at Tim the more she knows he’s the one. And that scares her to death. God I love him stepping up and guiding her like this. Not only that but talking her though this whole thing. Something that he avoided like the plague in 3x09. Shaking closure and talking off and saying it was useless. Here he is talking her through this crisis she is having. He’s crushing it too btw. Such an iconic line for them for so many reasons. This makes me squee still rewatching it.

Before their convo goes any further they spot a second person with a collar. This guy is way more aggressive about saving his life. Pulls off and finds some sheers. Saying he’s not waiting around to die. Tim immediately grabs Lucy and heads for cover. It’s the way he holds her and shields her at the same time.

That’s his whole world right there. He would take the heat of a thousand bombs to protect her. Tim has a one track mind in this moment. He’s not thinking Lucy can handle herself. Or she is capable of getting to cover on her own. No he’s thinking that’s the woman he loves in front of a bomb.

It changes his entire perspective. So he full on grabs her and places his body between her and the bomb. Thats his first instinct to throw himself between her and harm. Gah it’s so good and just feels like more in this ep. Proving to Lucy over and over in this one she is worth the effort to him. Fierce protector front and center.

We catch them back in the shop trying to figure out next moves about this next bomb. Chris texts her another listing... In an area she CLEARLY doesn’t want to live in. Tim can’t stand to watch her suffer any longer. He is as straight forward with her in this moment as I’ve ever seen him. He knows she has been on edge all day. From the case alone.

Now she has Chris making matters worse with each interaction. She looks so upset when Tim asks her if she loves him? Noting that 'He clearly loves her.' His growth I talk about a lot and it’s episodes like this that truly show it. Look at this man pressing her to talk about this. He knows she’s in her head and talking it out always makes it better. Tim knows this about her and is pursuing it for that reason.

Lucy has been running from her feelings for Tim for quite some time. She low key knew about them in s4. Then 4x21 happened and they imploded on her. Hitting her like ton of bricks. This moment is her ‘Come to Jesus’ moment about Chris. Also about her feelings for Tim. Saying out loud she SHOULD love him. That he’s great in so many different ways and yet…

It’s hitting her in this very moment she can’t love Chris because she loves Tim. Because that man is and NEVER will be Tim Bradford. He will forever pale in comparison to the man sitting to her left. Tim is the most important person in her life. It’s just hitting her like a freight train what’s happening. I love how she trails off as she comes to this conclusion. The way she looks at him when she comes to this realization.

Doesn't take much for Tim to see what she almost said to him. Lucy says enough that Tim knows what she is saying in this moment. The way he looks at her after her almost confession. my heart. I think this scene is another catalyst to their ending scene. I remember watching this scene and saying ‘You’ for her and squeeing my head off. Because she just basically admitted to not only herself but to Tim. That Chris is not Tim. He never will be…They both know it at this point. He is not 'You' is where she was headed and they both are aware of this.

We’ve reached THE scene. The scene that changed all of our shipper lives. heh Lucy coming up saying she needs to talk to him. Her rubbing that tattoo of hers before she sits down. Tim making a crack about Chris wanting to live in some remote place. I don’t know anything about CA but I imagine that city he listed isn’t great ha

Lucy says ‘No…’ Tim goes right at it telling she just doesn’t want to admit it’s not working. He asks her why she is doing this? When she is clearly so VERY unhappy about this development. This entire episode she spent stressed and on edge about Chris. Asking her if it's the guilt about Rosalind?

Lucy tries to pull a Tim and deflect. Bringing up Ashley and staying in a relationship too long. Tim does not let that fly for one damn second. Continues his assertive comments with her. He gets so worked up when he cuts her off about it above. That this isn't about him. Telling her she’s just hiding in this relationship because she’s scared.

It’s here Lucy blows his damn mind with her reply. Airing her fears of losing the the most important person in her life. Now I think Tim knew there was an attraction on Lucy’s end no doubt. She invited him in for gods sake in 5x01. He knew there was an attraction. What he didn’t know was the level of importance he held her life. It’s written all over his face. He is shocked legit shocked she feels this way about him. Now anyone with eyes could see Tim is exactly what she said. The most important relationship in her life.

The thing is Tim is so very damaged in that way. I get that so very much. Where you don’t expect those around you to love or care as much as you love and care for them. The sucky life of an insanely loyal person who has been burned which I can relate to. My friend just other day told me how much he missed me while I was away in TN visiting my sister. Him and my other friend missed me. I made a joke like oh did you not think I would come back?

Would you miss me or something? He looked at me and was like yes. We love you don’t you know that? I would be devastated if you didn’t come back. We’ve been friends for almost 5 years. It still shocks me I have people who love me and would miss me. So I can deeply relate to Tim being shocked he holds that place of importance in Lucy’s life. He’s NEVER been put first. Not till Lucy Chen entered his orbit.

She panics when she sees his reaction not reading him like she usually does. Thinking she’s overshared. When really Tim is just smitten af with her reply. He is beside himself with shock that he is HER #1 person. He doesn’t feel worthy. Thats not what Lucy reads at first when she sees his reaction. She thinks she’s over shared or over stepped in some way. Tim stops that train of thought right away. Telling her 'No she’s right.' Lucy once again misreads him and thinks they should just back off this then. Better to keep them as is. ‘It’s not worth the risk...’

Then we see our boy do the biggest leap of faith I’m sure he’s ever done and combat her reply with our next iconic OTP line. ‘Unless it is.’ Looks how cute he is when he says this. His precious upside down smirk. Reminds me of his cute smirk from 4x22 after their peck. He looks so excited about this idea. Just look at this puppy of a man. Going for it and telling her I think we are worth this. Wanting to give them a shot. Basically saying we are worth risking what we currently have for what could be.

This next part is where his courage really shines through. I love how he takes this deep shaky breath in the first gif. So nervous to ask her this question. Tim Bradford is NERVOUS everyone. So nervous to ask the woman he loves to take a chance on him. To go out to dinner and give this a shot. He finally finds the courage to ask her. Lucy’s answer is immediate and adorable.

If she could go to dinner right then and there she would. Jumping out of her skin with excitement at his proposal of going out. Tim is so elated and his smile so damn wide when he says ‘Yeah?’ He can’t believe his luck. Looks like the smile of a man who just got everything he's ever wanted. Months of longing over in this moment of courage. He’s so happy she’s said yes. The man is beaming proudly displaying that Lucy smile he reserves for her and ONLY her. Lucy mirrors his elation with her 'Yeah' *heart clutch*

Lucy then back tracks and we watch our boy deflate instantly. He looks so very upset when she takes it back. Her excitement got the better of her and she retracts. I saw a hilariously accurate depiction of Tim in this scene. Said he had golden retriever energy in this moment. All excited and giddy for getting what he wants. Body wiggling with absolute joy. Then is told no and is all sad and deflated. Then he doesn’t perk back up until she says she needs to end things with Chris first.

The analogy cracked me up because it was accurate. He looks so very gutted when she says no after. Has that 'This was too good to be true I guess.' energy coming off him in waves. Lucy tries to rectify the situation with her reason why. Doesn't want to see that sad look on his face. The man looks devastated. He just went from an absolute high only to come crashing down seconds later. The way he nods like he understands but is really hurt about it. My poor puppy of a man.

I love how he lights backs up when she tells him to ask her again. Later. After she’s rid herself of the dead weight that is Chris. Making sure Tim knows she wants this just as much as he does. She just needs to end things first. Make it right. No one gets doing things honorably more than Tim Bradford. His cute smile after he tells Lucy 'Deal.' His hope returning. Their body language above in the last gif is everything. Their bodies are pointed towards each other. They couldn’t be happier right now. Leaning in toward one another finally giving into that magnetic pull of their's. Both grinning like idiots in love. Gah I can not. I am a puddle. I remember rewinding that scene to make sure I saw and heard everything correctly.

I was expecting their pining era to last longer tbh. I was delightfully surprised when Tim of all people took the leap. Helped Lucy take it with him. For him to be the one without doubts and to go for it was so important. Lucy for the most part has been the catalyst in their relationship. Tim has has his moments. More so in the last season or so. But Lucy has mainly been in the drivers seat. To watch this man overcome his fear of rejection and go for it with her. my damn heart. This man isn’t scared to ruin what they have because he KNOWS. This is it for him. She is it. I can’t get over how much he’s grown to get to this place.

To be the one to say hey we’re worth the risk. Would you like to go out with me? Showing her she’s worth the effort of leaving his comfort zone. This moment right here is why I’m so glad they did the slow burn. Why I was ultimately happy they didn’t hook up in 5x01. This was the right way to do it. I wouldn’t trade a moment of their journey to get to this point. Not one and that’s is a rarity I’ve only had with one other ship. Castle and Beckett and that is a high honor if you know that ship. This was another daunting one to tackle but so fun to write about. I was buzzing for days after this episode. Mostly just happy this is where our slow burn ended up. Wouldn’t change a damn thing.

The whole bomb SL with Pam makes me cry every time. It’s so tragic. Will say John was great with her rarely give him props but he does so good with her. Celina having to do the death notice kills me this ep is very emotional.

Bailey messing with John with the clowns is pretty funny LOL but idk how Bailey could think a coyote was a dog lmao ‘how did you get him In the crate?’ 😂

so re: maternity photoshoot I did on Wednesday, I just finished editing the photos and LOOK AT THIS ONE ITS MY FAVE (sometimes I surprise myself with my ability to capture photos - bc I feel like I’m not good enough, but wow)

[sukugo]

Sukuna and gojo are such jujutsu freaks they probably fuck with limitless on and countered by domain amplification or some shit, the sex they have would re-kill everyone in shibuya and it's just a wednesday for them (is seething with jealousy)

YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely YES to countering limitless with amplification. i imagine sukuna studies and explores and tries to come up with different ways to counter it, and there's nothing quite like having satoru below him, face lit up into a teasing grin while he remains untouched under sukuna's attempts, which is then twisted into a gasp and pained flinch when sukuna finally pierces limitless and his hands tear and bury themselves into his skin. in the same way, satoru tries to strenghten himself and finds ways to counter each of sukuna's new techniques (with increasing delight as sukuna overcomes those too)

but yeagh... their fucking is so interlaced with jujutsu and their desire to use their abilities to their fullest potentials and innovating even beyond that. which makes it so destructive (for everyone else. not for them lmao) and it's truly Something. (reminder to never ever ever be in the vicinity of them if they're having sex)

The Color of Us

Witchy Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Fic-tober Masterlist

Heart Set on Amulets Universe Masterlist

Summary: You tell Dalton you can see auras and he asks what color his is, leading to a confession about what he feels.

Warnings: fluff, confession, kissing, I think that's it. 0.9k+ words.

A/N: I Googled aura color meanings and every link had different meanings, so I just picked a random one. Also, sorry this is shorter than the other ones, but the next two Witchy Wednesdays are going to be longer! I hope you enjoy! :)

The first time you saw someone’s aura, you didn’t know what was happening. With the different colors and unique blending, a witch’s first experience can be overwhelming. Luckily, you found a good mentor quickly and learned how to block out auras… most of the time.

Like all natural talents or gifts, witch abilities have their own minds and come out on their own time. Some days, it seems like all you can see are auras. When that happens, you do your best to ignore them and respect the privacy of the people around you. Being shy, you already know how to navigate with your eyes on your shoes.

Today is one of those days where auras seem brighter than the sun. You catch a glimpse of a freshman’s green and blue swirl, fear of the future, and insecurity from the shades, and know you need to pick cute shoes since you’ll be staring at them all day.

When you return to your apartment after class, curious about what your professor is so angry about, you collapse on your couch and stare at the ceiling. Avoiding looking at people is more work than it seems to be. Someone knocks, and you look toward the door, hoping they leave.

“I’m not going away,” Dalton singsongs from the other side. “Let me in?”

You grumble as you walk to the door, eyes on the floor as you pull the door open.

“Are you okay?” Dalton asks immediately, raising his hand to your shoulder.

“I- I’m a witch,” you say quietly.

“I already knew that.”

“Right. But I can see auras and they’re really vivid today.”

“And it’s making you sick? Or something else?” Dalton asks gently, closing the door as he steps inside with you.

“No, nothing like that. It just feels like I’m violating people’s privacy, I guess. I don’t like knowing what emotions people are feeling.”

Dalton rubs his hand up and down your arm and shoulder, dropping his bag. He walks around the corner and talks to you from the hallway.

“Is this better?”

You laugh and look up as you say, “Kind of. But now I miss your pretty face.”

“You know I don’t care if you look, right? I would tell you what I’m feeling, so it’s not any different.”

You bite your bottom lip and think for a moment. “Okay. Only if you’re sure.”

Dalton walks around the corner, smiling brightly. He affirms, “I’m absolutely, positively sure.” He looks at you before gesturing toward the couch. When you’re both seated, your thigh against his, he asks,

“What does it look like?”

“It’s pretty,” you answer quietly. “It’s dark blue with little streaks of green.”

“Which means?”

“That blue is power and insight. The green is…” you hesitate, and Dalton lays his hand on your knee. “It’s fear of the future.”

“That sounds about right,” Dalton says with a nod. “Anything else?”

“Pink. Who do you love?” You don’t think before you speak and slap your hand over your mouth when you hear the question.

“Pink is love? How much pink is there?”

“A bit,” you answer as he pulls your hand away. “It’s surrounding everything else.”

Dalton uses your hand to pull you even closer, tugging your legs over his.

“You,” he whispers. “The pink is for you.”

You go silent, looking between his eyes and his hand on your leg.

“Am I dreaming?”

“You look awake to me,” Dalton answers, laughing. “I mean, you look beautiful, but awake.”

You duck your head to hide your smile, missing the sudden burst of pink and yellow you create in Dalton’s aura.

“Tell me what the other colors mean?” Dalton asks, drawing your attention back to him.

“Well, it depends on the shades, but the basics are red is energy, fire, passion, and anger; orange is creative, active, and positivity – you have an orange undertone, your creativity isn’t dependent on anything, it’s who you are. Yellow is sunny, charismatic, kindness; blue is either insecurity or power depending on the shade; pink is loving, caring; indigo is empathetic and sensitive; white is pure; black is tired, low; brown is greed; gray is holding onto something; and a rainbow is a combination of everything,” you explain, stopping after each color to examine the changes in Dalton’s.

“Interesting. And the shades tell you where on the spectrum or how intense?”

“Yeah. The ratios help determine intensity, too.”

“Can you see your own?”

“Not usually. Sometimes if I’m really emotional I can see the outer colors, but no.”

“Well, then let me enlighten you,” Dalton says, using his hand to raise your chin. “Yours is blue, obviously, because you’re powerful, white because you’re oh so pure.” You laugh before Dalton turns serious.

“And I’m pretty sure I see some green and pink in there. And if I had to guess, they’re for the same reason; like mine.”

“They are,” you admit quietly. “About you.”

“Do you think we could make both of them completely pink?” Dalton asks, raising his other hand to your face.

You furrow your brows and shake your head. “No, that’s not possible-“

Dalton cuts you off with a kiss, pressing his lips to yours. You don’t hesitate to reciprocate, grabbing his shirt and pulling yourself further into his lap. While you’re not paying much attention, you see large streaks of pink in your peripheral vision, smiling into the kiss.

Pulling back, you say, “Mine’s certainly pink now.”

“Is mine?”

“Mostly.”

“What else?”

“I charge for aura readings,” you tease, kissing his nose.

“Whatever you’re charging, it’s not enough.”

“Oh, you’re in a lifelong contract now.”

Dalton pulls you into another kiss, confident that his aura will never communicate what he truly feels for you and curious about how he can tell you.

Kinktober: House of Amateurs - S1E25

MINORS DNI 18+

SUMMARY: october 25th | wednesday bodyjobs: footjob WC: 0.8k | CHARACTERS: anakin skywalker x f!reader WARNINGS: f!reader | switch!anakin | pnp | onanism | kinks: feet, size, degradation, praise | biting | body image: “wearing toe rings and nail polish.” | no y/n

KRAYT HOUSE M.LIST | NAVI | INBOX | @KRAYTHOUSE

“Are we gonna do this or not?” Anakin questions, yet his tone of voice is uncharacteristically amused, finding endearment within your ability to be coy. He advances on you, and from your lounge position on the chaise you halt him with the ball of your foot against his chest. A playful grin stretches onto your lips while your teeth sink into your lower one, scanning his picturesque bare body. His cock is at the ready, its tip blushing a delicious mauve. You’ve mirrored him, not a shred of clothing on you.

“Don’t rush me, Skywalker, there’s no time limit.” you tell him, stretching out your leg to back him up until his calves bump a seat. Obediently, he sits. He pivots his head away to eye you through suspicious narrowed eyes. The game you’re inventing as you go along is a mystery to him, and he’s in a rare curious mood. Granted, you’re nervous to be re-introduced to his infamous cock— glancing at how it stands tall and proud— but you inhale to calm yourself. His gaze turns on his sternum, and the cold pads of your toes as they travel down. They catch on the thin rolls of his abdomen, and you continue on until his coarse pubic hair tickles your skin. Drawing your leg to yourself, you brush the ball of your foot against his tip, and it bobs from the contact. Simultaneously, your gazes flicker up to meet, the same idea striking like lightning in your minds.

Tentatively, you reach again, toeing his head in a toying manner, and you register the way he moistens his lips. A dab of his pre-cum sticks to the tip of your big toe. So he reflects your curiosity mixed with his brand of impatience by clapping a hand around the top of your foot, enveloping the circumference of the appendage. “Hey!” you interject, bracing yourself as you fall back onto the chaise when he tugs you closer.

Intent on exploring the foreign feeling further, he stretches your digits apart by flossing his glans between them. It tickles, and you clutch the cushion as you allow him to do as he pleases.

“Ani, you’re so fucking gross.” you chastise, weakly pulling your leg back, but his grip is infallible. “It’s sticky! Ani, c’mon, it feels weird!” you whine, shifting to your side to rest your cheek against the chaise. The ridges of his cock against the sensitive parts of your foot makes you wiggle.

To appease you, Anakin lifts your limb up to his mouth. Warm, and wet, he sucks on your big toe first, moving along to lick around each digit. Cleaning the slime off with sodden pops and you can’t keep still.

“Every bit of you is pretty, you know that? Even your fucking feet. Such pretty fucking feet.” he tells you, his breath ragged as he speaks in between fishing your foot in his mouth.

“Anakin!” you gasp, and it earns you a disciplinary bite onto your bridge. His free hand grasps the base of his dick, his craving for friction inescapable as he pumps it while he worships you. Debasing himself for your entertainment, to show you he’ll get off to any part of your body, doesn’t matter what it is. He would fuck it all if he could. So he does.

“That’s it, baby, keep ‘em just like that.” he exhales, his large hands cupping around the tops of your feet, molding them around his cock as he fucks the hole you’ve both created for him. “Can’t believe you’re letting this nasty dick fuck these pretty feet, huh? You know where this cock has been?”

You shake your head, pinching your brows together. It’s not that you receive pleasure from this— in fact it’s barely bearable because of the delicacy— but his sheer ardor is infectious. Your view consists of his herculean chest and arms flexing with each thrust, how he controls your movements expertly as he slams his shaft through. It’s so overwhelming your hole spasms around nothing, and you fight jealousy over how he’s fucking something other than you.

“Did you want this? Is that why you were putting ‘em all over me?” he taunts, tipping his head back as his mouth hangs open. The appendages begin to ache from the poise. “That’s why you’ve got this nail polish on. Cute toe rings. Bet you’re a little closet fetishist. And you call me the freak. Don’t forget I can see your little pussy from here, you’re fucking dripping.”

astro notes: daily transits 8/14

Wednesday presents a complex mix of energies, characterized by challenging planetary aspects that could lead to miscommunications and emotional turbulence. However, the day also offers opportunities for growth and re-alignment with our core visions, especially in the evening, when the energies become more harmonious and supportive.

Key Influences

Mercury–Pluto Quincunx (Early Morning): Uneasy Communication: The day begins with a quincunx between retrograde Mercury and Pluto, creating an atmosphere of awkward or uncomfortable communication. This aspect can cause people to speak too bluntly or misjudge the impact of their words, leading to misunderstandings or hurt feelings. It’s an aspect that can bring hidden tensions to the surface, requiring careful navigation.

Mars–Jupiter Conjunction (Exact Today at 16°40' Gemini): Energy, Confidence, and Intelligence: Mars and Jupiter align in Gemini, bringing a surge of energy, confidence, and intellectual enthusiasm. This conjunction can be a powerful influence for starting new projects or ventures that require boldness and faith in one’s abilities. However, the downside is a potential for self-absorption or overconfidence, which could lead to clashes with others.

Sagittarius Moon Opposes Mars and Jupiter (10:34 a.m. and 10:40 a.m.): Tension and Frustration: The Moon in Sagittarius opposes the Mars-Jupiter conjunction, creating tension and frustration, particularly in the morning hours. These oppositions can make it difficult to maintain balance and may lead to impulsive actions or emotional outbursts, especially if expectations are not met.

Moon–Saturn Square (During Noon Hour): Emotional Discontent: Following the oppositions, the Moon squares Saturn, amplifying feelings of dissatisfaction and emotional heaviness. This aspect often brings a sense of restriction or a reality check, making it hard to feel content with how things are progressing. It may require some perseverance to push through this energy.

Mercury Retrograde Returns to Leo (5:15 p.m.): Revisiting Core Inspirations: As the day progresses, retrograde Mercury moves back into Leo, prompting a review of past ideas or projects. This ingress calls for a reexamination of the original inspiration behind current endeavors to ensure they are still aligned with your core vision. It’s a moment to reconnect with the creative spark that initially drove your efforts.

Moon–Sun Trine (9:56 p.m.) and Moon–Chiron Trine (10:56 p.m.): Emotional Harmony and Healing: The day ends on a more positive note with trines between the Moon and both the Sun and Chiron. These aspects bring a sense of emotional harmony and the potential for healing. The Moon-Sun trine enhances self-expression and alignment with personal goals, while the Moon-Chiron trine offers opportunities for emotional growth and the resolution of wounds.

Integrating the Influences

Morning Caution: Mind Your Words: The morning begins with the Mercury-Pluto quincunx, so it’s important to be mindful of how you communicate. Avoid bluntness or insensitivity, as misunderstandings can easily arise. This is especially crucial when the Sagittarius Moon opposes Mars and Jupiter, potentially escalating any tensions. Keep a close watch on impulsive reactions.

Midday Challenges: Persevere Through Frustration: The Moon-Saturn square during the noon hour can bring a sense of emotional heaviness or dissatisfaction with how things are going. It’s important to persevere through this energy, recognizing that these feelings are temporary and part of a larger process of growth and adjustment.

Afternoon Reflection: Realign with Your Vision: As Mercury retrograde re-enters Leo in the afternoon, take time to reflect on your current projects and whether they still align with your original intentions. This is a good moment to revisit creative ideas and make adjustments if necessary to ensure you’re moving in the right direction.

Evening Harmony: Embrace Emotional Healing: The trines between the Moon, Sun, and Chiron in the evening offer a chance to restore emotional balance and engage in healing conversations or activities. It’s a time to reconnect with loved ones, reflect on the day’s challenges, and find a sense of peace and alignment with your deeper self.

Practical Applications

Morning Mindfulness: Be Conscious of Communication: Start the day with mindfulness, especially in your interactions with others. Consider practicing active listening and choosing your words carefully to avoid unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.

Midday Resilience: Stay Grounded: During the Moon-Saturn square, it’s important to stay grounded and not let feelings of frustration overwhelm you. Take breaks if needed and focus on tasks that require persistence and attention to detail.

Afternoon Realignment: Reconnect with Your Creative Vision: Use the time around Mercury’s return to Leo to review your current projects or ideas. Reconnect with your original inspiration and make any necessary adjustments to stay true to your creative goals.

Evening Healing Rituals: Engage in Restorative Practices: The evening’s trines are perfect for engaging in healing rituals or activities that promote emotional well-being. This could include journaling, meditation, or spending quality time with loved ones.
