[sirens-au-asks]

In light of your recent Dadskall animation (brought me to tears btw)

Would you say the Dadskall AU concept is compatible with SS AU, and would that affect how certain characters react in the story? Additionally would Robot Iskall have any of Doom's memories or are they still miraculously repressed?

Scenario 1

Scenario 2

Scenario 3

I’ve thought about this before actually 🤭

PROJECT FINISHED!

This is the Irish Lullaby Blanket by Rebecca Stylings on etsy. I used 30 balls of Hue & Me yarn, 4110 yards, and it took me maybe four months of work altogether? I took a break over the summer because it was too hot to work on.

It was a lot of fun! I learned how to read crochet charts! It helped me troubleshoot another pattern I've been struggling with! I would like to do it again, but with a lighter weight for my own wrist health!

I'm really loving your #tbt posts lately (which I assume might come from your queue). Thanks for keeping the historical interest flowing. One question: I'd love to know who the family is in the Minnesota photos. I assume you wrote about them in the past, if you have a personal source for the pictures. (My grandfather and his family were from Minnesota, and I recently viewed some photos of them.)

I wish I knew! Unfortunately this is one of several "white whale" albums I've purchased over the years with absolutely no written identification in them, and one of only two I haven't had any luck tracking down any individual people in the photos.

My current best guess is that the album is of a young adults group from the English Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in St. Paul, and was taken in the summer/fall of 1897 or 1898. There is one photo of a group in front of a church with a partial sign visible behind them which I was able to match to that church. I did some additional research and found that the church group did regular summer outings to many tourist spots and lakes in the St. Paul area.

I was able to additionally pinpoint the location to the St. Paul area due to the waterslide in the background of this image and a visible sign for the Nevers Dam (on the MN/WI border) in another.

I compiled a list of a dozen or so people who attended the church at the time (from newspaper mentions of various events at the church) but so far haven't had any luck matching any of those people to the individuals in the album.

It's a great album, about 40 or so pictures in total and I believe it was likely developed at home by an amateur photographer. None of the photos are mounted, being printed on very thin paper, and several have hand applied mats added to the exposures to change the shape - as seen above.

Snapshots from the 1890s are my absolute favorite photographs as personal photography was still in its infancy, and people were still figuring out what exactly to do with the cameras the now had access to. Many of the images are still posed like studio portraits, but you can see the very beginnings of people starting to get creative with what they chose to capture.

🐦 a romantic quote (can be sweet or sad or sexy, or just your favorite interaction between them!)

“Maybe I’ll have to corner you under the mistletoe,” he teased.

“I thought you hated mistletoe,” she said, rolling her eyes. He'd been mildly horrified when he found she'd hung a sprig of it in the doorway between the front hall and the living room.

“I don’t know that I’d hate it with you,” he said, voice soft as he caressed her hips again. “I hated when people would try to corral me under it with some girl they wanted me to date,” he explained. “If it means I get to kiss you, I’m going to take advantage every time I can.”

The very reality that this was his life dawned on him as she giggled. He was so struck by her. By her being here. His life from a year ago had been turned totally upside down. All in good ways, but it was still startling to glance back at how lonely he was last Christmas in comparison to the joy, love, and contentment he felt this year.

I've just had this lying in my gallery since aprils fools so thought I'd share...(I remember gasping in amazement when I accidentally did it)

Ahkgkdg this is amazing oh my god

Top 10 photos taken seconds before an evil boop

[bad-traffic-smp-ideas]

My last idea was mildly evil and meant specifically to cause problems. So this idea is the opposite: permanently put Swiftness 10 on everyone and plonk 'em in an amplified world. Do we still have amplified worlds. Idk. I just wanna see people fall off stuff and down holes

I hope we still have amplified worlds. That would be so funny to watch

scenario 3 for dadskall snapshot means that npg is absolutely screwed

Well yes, but actually no

[fuck-you-showerthoughts]

pls publish ur ship art 🙏🏻

Aww anon — I wanted to do a comparison w the old one but I couldn’t find it so here’s just this <3

[city-flag-tournament]

hiii pls check out the flag for Bonney Lake, WA. i can only find one size of it online and it's very small which really adds to it.

Truly incredible, especially because I can't find any evidence that this is a seal of the city or anything.

From FOTW:

The flag for the City of Bonney Lake was first developed in 2008 for use in a parade of flags at an annual conference of the Association of Washington Cities held in Yakima, WA. Bonney Lake City Administrator Don Morrison provided input to graphic designers, Matautia Design, of Olympia, WA.

I think this style is quite typical for flags made very impromptu for events like this, I can understand why it doesn't receive much usage, but the fact that it was indeed created by a graphic design firm does heighten my viewing experience.

I find myself particularly entranced, by the inclusion of the "original flag" with the misspelling of incorporated (as "incorperated" -- as it is usually pronounced). I wonder if it's possible to still find these out in the wild...

I find their logo to be much more suitable for the type of low effort logo flag I mentioned earlier, and I think this might actually be what's flying outside of their Justice & Municipal Center

The city website has a similar image on its front page, but the flag is similarly obscured there as well.

[gothsuguru]

I need...to hear about dilf!suguru...he's been on my mind lately too😩

KARINA… “a father’s intuition” oh this one is for us like this is for the dilf!geto lovers <333 ok so . i have an idea in the sense that i know certain things i want to put into the fic but i don’t necessarily know the plot yet so i’ll just tell you the things i intend to include!

so we know that geto in general has a paternal/maternal instinct like he’s Mother he’s Father he’s an icon he’s a legend etc… but i love the idea of him being the older!bf to his younger!gf and showing her the ropes almost? i think the fic will include just different scenes in their relationship like maybe one scene will be him protecting reader from someone/something, a scene based on love and his experience with love and teaching reader, maybe a hurt/comfort argument about reader & him and suguru acting more like a father rather than a boyfriend in their relationship, and then maybe also a suggestive scene which i think will be a bit dark yet sexy and i’m THINKING of including almost a punishment? like a mouth/teeth inspection… him being sexy & suave & condescending and showing reader the ropes… idk if that makes sense but it makes sense in my brain i can only HOPE that it comes out well in writing 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

🦜 for the wip game please

And🦉 if it's not too much to ask?

🦜 a pretty quote (you like the prose, or symbolism, or it's poetic, or you just like how it feels/the word choice!)

Flopping into the couch, he pulled out his phone and called the only person he thought could help. It was too late to be calling. Nearly two in the morning where they were, but she answered anyway. 

“Hello?” her voice was slightly slurred with sleep. 

“Hey mom.” 

“Quinn? what’s wrong?” Ellen asked, sitting up

“I think I fucked it,” he said, emotion flooding his voice at the sound of hers. 

“What are you talking about?” she hadn’t had this kind of a call from any of her boys in a long time. She reached over to flip on the bedside lamp. Her mind was fuzzy with sleep, but she dusted away the cobwebs and got herself ready to listen. 

🦉 a clever quote (something you're proud of!)

“You baked,” he moaned upon walking Into the kitchen. Not only did it smell like caramelized sugar and chocolate, he could see the cookies looking perfect and mouth watering on the kitchen island. 

“Don't go too crazy, I'm already worried about your liver.”

“I'm drinking lots of water, mom,” he teased. 

“Don't get mad at me for wanting you to be alive longer,” she said, poking him in the chest, “You’re the one that’s going from no alcohol and no sweets to the exact opposite overnight.”

“I'm not mad,” he corrected, a little hurt she would think that. One of her famous chocolate chip cookies on each hand, he moved closer to her. “I think it's sweet.”

“And don't call me mom, please,” she said, elongating the last word into a whine. “I have a whole list of things I want to do to you where I need neither of us to be thinking about your mother.” 

His eyes perked to hers and he quirked his eyebrows suggestively. “Really?” he asked around the cookie he'd shoved in his mouth.

“Really. Finish your cookies and I’ll show you,” she said, sauntering off to the bedroom. 

He grabbed another before scrambling after her. 

She arched an eyebrow at the third cookie. Half of the second was already in his mouth. “It’s for after,” he said through a mouthful of crumbs, setting the whole one on the bedside table.

“You cannot eat that in bed,” she said, pointing at his chest even as she laughed.  

He pouted. 

“You’ll get crumbs all over the sheets!” 

Considering, he ate the second half of the second cookie and wondered why it would matter. If he had his way, they’d need to change the sheets anyway. 

[crepesuzette2023]

Hooray, thank you for the tag @tenderlady as it's distracting me from the spectacle of the mclennon temple burning to the ground courtesy of Jesus/Judas. "A kiss on the cheek and then one of them dies" is the kind of queer love story that would have been deemed appropriate in the 50's, as a cautionary tale, right?! *wipes froth from mouth* [also thank you for the tag @bambi-kinos — I replied a short while ago, but I'm back-tagging you in case you're interested in my answers. :-)]

last song: (Ummmm, Oh Yeah) Dearest by Buddy Holly. <3

last book: I just dove back into Many Years From Now (McCartney & Miles), hoping my weirdly slow reading speed of that book would have improved after a break, but no. Loved the description of Carnival of Light and Paul's solo trip in '66 though! I also re-read Brokeback Mountain last weekend, ouch. And am wrapping up the mandatory 'for mental health reasons' annual re-red of I Need You Darlin' (So Come Go With Me) by @magog83.

last movie: The Substance. A+++++++, Pump It Up With Sue!!!!

last tv show: Does Netflix count?! I'm finally discovering Peaky Blinders.

sweet/spicy/savory: spicy or savory

relationship status: married

last thing i googled: I used Google translate because I couldn't think of a specific English word, and the word was "dungarees," and yes it was about Paul's dungarees outfit.

current obsession: *Still* Paul's sexual moans and groans and eyerolls and bouncing in Nineteen-Hundred-Eighty-Five (One Hand Clapping), and the pool of sweat and come spreading slowly on the hairy belly of Woodland Sprite Paul

looking forward to: Christmas Holidays and maybe the new Mal Evans Book and Volume 2 of the McCartney Legacy, and Paul's coming out. (ETA: and to seeing Paul for the first time this year, in Paris no less.) I am tagging @unchaineddaisychain, @pauls1967moustache, @the-paper-apricot, @notgrungybitchin, @adriennefrombrooklyn, @packyourromanticmind and @tavolgisvist

& everyone who would like to participate! I'm curious.
