Good morning. 🏖️🩴☕

15 September 2023

My wife and I drove to Alexandria, Louisiana yesterday and had lunch at a fancy. restaurant with tables and everything. :) While we were there, my wife did some shopping at Burlington's, a store that challenges my sanity. So, I dropped her off and went to Books-a-Million. I picked up the latest Stephen King book, " Holly." When we got home our water was off, it is again this morning.

We never really think about the convenience of running water in our homes until the water stops running. My wife and I usually keep plenty of drinking water around. The biggest problem is that the bathrooms stop working.

"The way we live in the West we live like kings. People moan about this and that in Britain, but we have running water, electricity, security and a rule of law and so many people in the world don't have these". - Bill Bailey

I've been thinking about some of the BS Taika and I've just realised that maybe a good chance of it comes from people previously having a positive parasocial relationship with him.

I only became familiar with his work after Thor but his career before that was more indie and he was online more (which he definitely isn't anymore) which probably led to him feeling more accessible and certain people believing they actually knew him when they didn't. Then he didn't act the way they wanted him to based on their own expectations and its easier to lash out at him instead of reflecting on their own behaviour.

This happens frequently with celebs and its exhausting. He's not perfect, no one is. But I think it's interesting that random Internet users insist that he's "changed, sold out " when people who have known him for decades (Jemaine Clement, Bird Runningwater, Sterlin Harjo etc) have repeatedly said he's pretty much the same as he's always been, just with more disposable income lol.

oh 100%. i���ve seen firsthand how people in this fandom have gone from literally worshipping the man and actively defending him from the senseless hate he gets to switching up and making horrid accusations against him and claiming they “always knew” he was a terrible person. negative parasocial relationships are just as dangerous as positive ones, if not more.

it happens all the time with celebrities, but imo the risk is a lot greater with the type of famous people who come across as “relatable” and “approachable.” and taika always has very much so been that. he’s never attempted to filter anything about himself. and there was a time where he benefited from that and people praised him for it and called him a breath of fresh air. but of course now that the internet has decided to hate him, by being himself, he’s “arrogant” and “immature” and “rude.”

i’ve said it before, but it’s very telling of taika’s character that he still has so many people in his life from 10-20 years ago. and not only that he continues to work with them, but just enjoys being around them. considering he could hang out with any a-lister he wants, keeping those kinds of connections is really important and i think it says a lot about what matters to him.

Marooned: Chapter 8

Kid x FemReader x Killer

Warnings: references to violence

Rude Awakening

It was a miracle Kid didn't toss you over his shoulder and steal you away to his cabin. He still very much did the second half of that, but if he had done the first, the crew would have gotten an eyeful. Maybe you could at least get some real clothes. You were currently surveilling the room in front of you. The bed was huge, unsurprisingly, and had a plush, furry duvet thrown over it. You curled your lip at how you could imagine being sweaty and uncomfortable all night under it. Staring more closely, you noticed places on the headboard where things, like, say, handcuffs, could be attached. You raised an eyebrow. Fun. There was a walk-in closet filled with mostly red and black pieces. Next to that, there was a door that you assumed led to a bathroom and in the corner opposite the bed, there was something akin to a drafting table. Directly across from the bed, there was a chaise, Kid's feathery coat thrown over it. 

"This'll do... But where will you sleep?" As if you didn't provoke the man enough. 

Kid threw back his head and laughed. "That mouth of yers gets ya into trouble, doesn't it?"

"It gets me out of trouble, too."  You quipped, heading towards the door that you guessed was to a bathroom. Opening it and peering inside, you guessed correctly. Kid's taste was questionable, but he liked expensive things. There was a black marble bathtub that could fit several people, well, several normal size people. There was also a shower head attached to it in the case that there wasn't time for a luxurious bath. "I would kill for a real shower," you somewhat muttered to yourself. The luxuries of being on a ship were starting to flood back to you: showers, hot water, runningwater, real food, meals, other people, booze, no fucking sand. 

"As much as I'd like to put that theory to the test, I have things to take care of." Kid said mildly regretfully. "Fuckin morons can't live without me." 

"Well, I certainly can," you said, turning the water to the shower on. "I'll be thoroughly enjoying the hot water. Come get me if someone gets maimed." 

Kid lingered to watch you take off your shirt and empty holster. The dim light of the cabin was still brighter than the moonlight and revealed a little bit more. He could tell you were skinnier than you should be, hip bones poking out and rib outlines visible. It wasn't extreme by any means, but he let his mind wander with how you might look with a little more curve. He turned to leave before his imagination went wild. As much as he would love to punish you for being mouthy, he was exhausted and he didn't need his bedroom reputation to be tarnished with a lack of energy. There would be plenty of time for that. Wire let him know earlier that the next island was weeks away. 

The hot water against your skin was heavenly. It could bring tears to your eyes how good this felt after years of not having the privilege. You felt guilty that you were enjoying this so much when poor Mini was remanded to the brig. Before she was escorted there, you assured her that it wouldn't be for long. You half-wished that you had opted for a bath to really indulge. The reason you didn't was that you thought that would have been too tempting for Kid, and although you weren't necessarily against him jumping your bones, this moment was meant to be for you and you alone. When the water started losing its warmth, you decided it was time to get out.

Opening the bathroom door, you expected to see Kid splayed out waiting in his bed. Instead, you were alone. Still without clothes, leaving the cabin was not happening. In that case, you chose the side of the bed that looked the least slept in and made yourself comfortable. Silk sheets...not bad. Exhaustion hit you hard and you didn't have any thoughts past that before having the most restful sleep of your life. Even Kid's eventual snoring didn't wake you up. 

Kid was still shocked that you actually decided to sleep in his bed. He was perplexed that you weren't scared of a total stranger, and one that was an infamous pirate at that. Something was off about you. He just had to figure out what that was. Or wait for Killer to get better and let him figure it out. He was better at that stuff. For a moment, Kid thought about letting you sleep in. After all, you were so quiet like this. That thought lasted about 10 seconds before he grabbed your ankle and dragged you out of bed, your body making a solid thump on the floor. Kid did say you were a rookie, and rookies had to work. 

A surprised cry left your mouth as you found yourself on the floor, partially tangled in sheets. "What the fuck?!" You tugger reflexively at the sheets to cover yourself. 

"Get yer ass up, Rotten. Come on deck when yer dressed, or come naked. I don't care, but yer gonna earn yer stay." 

You narrowed your eyes at the new nickname. As long as it keeps them from asking my real one. He could see the smart remark waiting to launch itself at him, yet before you could get it out, there were clothes thrown at you and he was turning on his heel to leave.  "Aye, aye, Captain." There was a random assortment of clothes, none of them your style, and most of them leaving little to the imagination. "That fucking bastard," you muttered to yourself, holding up the only bottoms in your size, light-washed cut-off jean shorts. They barely qualified as shorts. Sorting through the fabric, you unfortunately found no underwear or bras, only mesh and lace. Considering the tops, you found the least see-through ones that would fit and ended up with a dark-red cropped babydoll tee with a cut part-way down the middle. At least it was tight enough to hold your boobs in place somewhat. It wouldn't be a bad outfit to the right person, though you didn't particularly enjoy the shorts riding up your ass, and you would never pick it out willingly. The shoes were somehow in your size... however they were the tackiest pair of high heels you had ever seen in your life. Barefoot it is. Judging by the array, you thought these clothes were probably left behind by some of the crews' paid lady companions. 

Before heading out, you grabbed your things, not intending to make your place in this cabin permanent. Something blue on the table caught your attention and you grabbed that, too. It was easy to figure out where to go based on the direction of loud voices. The voices ceased as soon as you opened the door to the deck. You internally struggled with whether to shout insults at them or just ignore them. Wisely, you decided to ignore them and find the captain. You didn't feel like immediately drawing more attention to yourself. Your tiny outfit was enough. Out of nowhere, a huge hand was guiding you from the back of your neck towards a side door and shoving you in. Inside was a pleasantly clean room with a distinct anti-septic smell and a few stretchers, one of which was occupied by Killer. 

"Tend to him and then ya can go to the brig and clean up the mess yer beastie made." Kid looked you up and down. "Shame. Was hoping ya would pick the mesh." 

You rolled your eyes. "Maybe I'll wear it tomorrow if you're a good boy." The last two words were drawn out. 

Kid backed you up against one of the counters on the side of the room. "It's cute when ya do all this barking." Kid put his hand on the scarred side of your face, instantly causing your stomach to turn. "But do it in front of my crew and I will make ya regret it." His face hardened and his hand slid to firmly hold your throat, oddly bringing you relief even though it was evident he could strangle you with one hand. Kid looked at you a second longer to make sure you understood and then left, slamming the door.  

You let out the breath you were holding. What was that? Kid's threat didn't scare you. No, it wasn't that. You had been through worse. Which is maybe why it bothered you so much to feel touch on that side of your face. You used to dream about it. Visions crept into your mind of the near past: you in a cell, periodic visitors bringing you near death but never letting you get there, bleeding out on the wood deck of a ship, searing pain on your face and then nothing. Bile rose in your throat, forcing you to run to the sink in the room to vomit. You stayed leaned over the sink for a minute and rinsed your mouth out.

I would like to pitch in so here are some of my recent and favorite reads:

Never alone by frufrusc. Such interesting premise, I adored it so much. (+ the bonus fic: Never alone (from the vault) is such a treat! (there was a Feyre meets Rhys' mom scene and I died))

Honestly, anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that the @the-lonelybarricade writes has me foaming on the mouth.

@quakeriders has SO MANY amazing feysand modern AUs and I've read and reread them all SO MANY times! Definitely worth every single read.

Highlighters and Red Ink is also a Feysand super sexy office AU by runningwater on Ao3. It's addicting and hot and absolutely a must-read!

By the same author, On my honor is the Feysand Mulan AU that I never thought I needed but MY GOD was it absolutely everything I could ever want.

And finally, my most recent reads were @epochofbelief 's Breath Control, What to expect when you're (not) expecting and Strictly Confidential, all modern AUs which I completely obsess over and highly highly recommend!!!

Hope these help! Happy reading!

acotar girlies i am so HORRIBLY feysand pilled that it's insane. please give me your best feysand fic recommendations. any rating, any genre, i need more content of my faves!!!! please and thank you

"Will you swear to be my friend forever and ever?" demanded Anne eagerly... "We must join hands–so," said Anne gravely. "It ought to be over runningwater. We’ll just imagine this path is running water. I’ll repeat the oath first. I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Diana Barry, as long as the sun and moon shall endure. Now you say it and put my name in."

Diana repeated the 'oath' with a laugh fore and aft. Then she said: "You’re a queer girl, Anne. I heard before that you were queer. But I believe I’m going to like you real well."

[the-lonelybarricade]

hehehe I recommend reading Chasing Tails by runningwater - very different premise to cat!Rhys but similarly fun!! 💕

Feyre shifting into a cat and pushing things from Rhys's desk when he takes too long to get to bed
