it takes ghost and soap a good few tries before settling on a sleeping position comfortable for them both when sharing a bed.
being soldiers, they’d never been afraid of getting close—of sleeping pressed against one another, of huddling for warmth, of minimizing occupied space. but that being said, the first time they sleep in a proper bed together, they’re both stiff.
it’s too… casual. too calm. there isn’t a reason for them to be close and yet they both itch to be.
they start back-to-back. then separate again. then attempt any possible combination of spooning. then ghost complains because he’s cold and the blanket is too thin but soap runs hot so he can’t have anything too thick. then they say fuck it and tangle themselves together, too the point where it’d be difficult to figure our where one ends and the other begins. that almost works.
finally, miraculously, the solution is found one morning after they agreed that it had been one of the best sleeps of their lives—soap draped completely over ghost like a weighted blanket, providing both heat and comfort to ghost while avoiding overheating all together.
it’s a little unconventional, but it works. neither ghost nor soap had ever been aware that sleep could be so peaceful.

Neopets continues to nuke their economy and I welcome it with open arms. One of the most powerful battledome items (a potion that heals you 100% regardless of your level or amount of HP) is being handed out as an event prize. Like you literally don't need to do anything to qualify for it outside of enrolling someone in the volunteer program and waiting for six hours until the shift is done (granted the item is in a pool of twentyish other ones but after doing the shifts back to back you're very likely going to get one eventually.)
Until literally yesterday it was being sold for 300,000,000+ points. Now it's at 2 mil and still dropping. TNT you crazy bastards

"Battle of Alberta, right? It was my first game: Calgary, Edmonton. We would play them in the preseason, and you know—trying to make the team I'd always be asking him to fight in preseason, always. I'd be runnin' my mouth—like, tryna fight the biggest, baddest guys, tryna make an impression.
And he would never fight me. He'd always tell me, like If you make the team, I'll fight ya. You don't have to worry about that, but I'm not fightin' ya preseason. And I totally respect it, I'm not gonna chase him down. It is what it is. He's established—I'm looking for my chance.
So I get called up, we're playing Edmonton in Edmonton: Battle of Alberta. [He's] over there on the other side, and it's like the coolest thing ever... you know, the buildup was crazy 'cuz I knew if the opportunity presented itself—if the game went the way I hoped it would, I would get an opportunity to fight him.
I remembered in warmups tryna skate by the redline initially just kind-of gettin' a feel for it—to see if I have to say something or whatever... He's got no bucket on, his big, bald head is glarin' around, he skates by the redline with the biggest smile on his face, and just gives me the biggest wink...
At that moment I knew Okay, he remembers. It's gonna happen at some point.
We were up 1, I think it was 2-1 going into intermission or whatever—Oh, no, I think it was 1-1 and we had just scored so the position I'm like Yeah, I don't know if I can fight him now because we have the momentum and we're winning the game. I don't want to lose a fight, then we lose a game and now I'm, like, never getting a chance again.
You kind-of gotta play the game within the game like [...] there's an opportunity to fight, and there's an opportunities where you shouldn't fight. Things weren't looking good, then they score and now we need a spark. I'm like Fucking perfect.
I just skate by their bench and I'm like It's time, big boy! He jumps out, we line up, and he goes We squarin' up or we goin' right away?
I'm like I'm not fuckin' squarin' up with you right now! We're goin' right away!
Drop em, we go right away, grab each other. I know he's a lefty so he's gonna let go—let's go of my right arm before he throws one. I threw one. Big boy went down, he jumped back up pretty quick. I don't know, I tell people all the time, I'm like I would've been in the league fuckin' 2 years earlier if there was good footage of this fuckin' fight!
For some reason—For some reason, the cameras cut out. I don't know if [he] had his cousins working the cameras or something that night, or if they're in the video room or what happened.
That was my first NHL game.
It's funny 'cuz Chucky was there—Chucky's there and he knows, he saw, he always laugh when I say that I would've been in the league earlier 'cuz he knows how things like that go. You get a little bit of energy and buzz around ya, and then kind-of momentum takes you a little bit further but unfortunate[ly], I missed that opportunity but I don't regret a thing.
[...]
The opportunity was there, I just—unfortunately, for whatever reason, the Hockey Gods said not yet." (Ryan Lomberg reminiscing over his first NHL game/fight) (x)(x) (please go watch the second link to see lombos giant smile as he tells this story jfc)
and other genuinely bonkers things to say about a hockey player in your first fight... like why did this need to be said like that...what

Watching ep 13 and as soon as I saw Peem and Phum got into an argument, I was like "are they going to hook up with others??!".
Don't start with how second half of Prisma s2 went down.
Then realized I am watching Thai Bl and I am safe lol.

George needs to release those books!!! 😭😭😭 Antis are getting too comfortable again. Like, it was already bad when all their theories and headcanons were crushed with GoT's ending... setting themselves for more disappointment is so embarrasing. At this point I need to see their meltdown again.
The Winds of Winter alone would be more than enough. Like Sansa being the Girl in Grey, reuniting with Jon, playing a massive role in the retaking Winterfell, all the while having romantic coded scenes with Jon. Can you imagine the meltdown that would come from this? I can’t wait for it.
