Had to take this to the professional 🫡

We need more dad tony stark content (literally anything you got)

Literally starving

Thank you 😌

thank you for giving me more excuses to talk about this. Tony is such a good fucking dad in general, but he's especially great when you get sick. if you're in new york, he probably notices cause you're not up as early as usual. idk where this came from, but I can hear him clear as day walking into your room and smoothing your hair to wake you up, saying

"Hey pumpkin, sun's out." you only grunt in response, but it's not your usual sassy I don't wanna wake up grunt. It sounds softer, like you actually can't get up yet.

"You feeling okay?" before you can answer, he's totally on it. "jarvis, run a vital scan."

He rolls you over onto your back so he can look at you. you look... pale. you don't have the usual vibrance to your skin, it's gray and faded. you look like if you weren't lying down, you'd pass out. Your eyes are puffy and watery, your lips are chapped. You're not yourself. While Jarvis runs a diagnostic scan on your vitals, Tony also gets to work. he carefully sticks a microneedling patch on your arm to check your blood - something Strange helped him whip up, among many other ways to monitor your health without all that clunky invasive hospital equipment - as Jarvis gives him the low down.

"Elevated body temperature of 101.3 degrees fahrenheit, swelling of the sinuses, elevated white blood count..." Jarvis rambles on and on while describing your simptoms, only interrupted by an agressive coughing fit.

"And a rather nasty productive cough."

You look up at him and try not to get teary, you know crying will just make you feel more dehydrated and achy.

"Dad... I don't feel good..."

He looks down at you so warmly, and with so much love.

"I know, kid."

He stands up, determined to do everything he can to kick this cold in record time.

"Alright, your schedule for the week is cleared." He cuts you off as you object. "Ah-bup-bup-bup. I don't want to hear it. You are officially on bedrest until further notice. Jarvis, order out for some of that soup we like, some cough drops, and popsicles."

He looks down at you.

"You want ice cream? What am I saying, of course you want ice cream. Jarvis, throw in a few pints of Stark raving hazelnuts and bunny tracks."

He grabs the remote for your tv, putting on your favorite movie and has dum-e wheel you in a box of tissues. He grabs some vaseline and cold medicine, along with a fresh cold water and your favorite flavor of sports drink.

"Now. I want you to lay back, I want you to stay cool, and I want you to get some rest. And you're a Stark, so staying cool should be no problem." He gives you a kiss on the forehead, then stands up to move all his work to stuff he can do at home, and tell Pepper to cancel or reschedule the rest so he can spend the rest of the day watching movies and tv shows with you between naps. You can hear him muttering to himself as he calls Steven over to come check on you. If you weren't so tired, you'd find it funny that the only person your dad trusts to be your family doctor is also a wizard.

"Can stop aliens from invading earth, I can make an arc reactor that can fit in the palm of my hand, how have we not cracked this cold and flu season thing yet?" he mutters, making a mental note to discuss it with the rest of the Avengers at the next team meeting. you drift off to sleep feeling a lot better than you did when you woke up, and thinking about debrief folders titled Avengers v. Rhinovirus.

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

I think it's very important that we bring back this inherent understanding that actors are also just some fucking guys (gender neutral)

[a-chaotically-small-lunta]

You know how you look up to someone and how someone looks up to you? Okay, now make it g/t

Lemme explain via example: Imagine a writer who types all their stories on their computer. Maybe they share them online maybe they are way too nervous to do that, and just keep it a secret hobby. Anyway, one day they leave their desk to do something only to come back and notice that their writing document moved to a different page, and their computer didn’t fall asleep like it usually did. This confuses them but they brush it off, telling themselves that maybe they were faster than normal and maybe accidentally moved the page.

However, it keeps happening. Each day they walk away for a moment or even longer, their computer never falls asleep and is on a completely different page. This starts to freak them out. So, they decide to walk away and then sneak back as quietly as possible. When they peek their head inside, they see a tiny little person at their computer, just staring at the screen. The writer watches as the tiny continues to read their story, and that’s when they realize, they’re reading the writer’s story. They walk in, spooking the tiny. The tiny is in shock, they can’t tell if it’s just fear of being seen or getting the chance to actually talk to the writer whose work they adore, perhaps a mix of both. Maybe the tiny gets overwhelmed and before the writer can ask the classic “What are you” question, the tiny burst into a bunch of questions about the story the writer is writing. The writer taken aback by this, just awkwardly answers them and tries to ask them a question only for the tiny to continue asking questions. Eventually the tiny remembers that “Oh right… I’m not supposed to be seen…” and cautiously asks if the writer is upset with them and whether they will hurt them. The wrier assures them that they are mad and won’t hurt them and are honestly glad that their computer wasn’t hacked or there was a ghost or something. Also, how could the writer ever hurt their biggest…well smallest fan?

Maybe they build a friendship where the tiny helps the writer with ideas and getting over those writing hurdles. Hell, maybe the tiny even was inspired by the writer and tried writing their own story and shares it with the writer. Maybe the writer gains the confidence to share their stories online or even publish their work all because one little person loved their work. Perhaps the tiny, with the help of the writer, shares their own stories while hiding their identity as a tiny from everyone. So many possibilities! Just tiny little fans, forgetting they should probably focus on not being seen and not “What is Character’s favorite thing to do when they are bored?” Like sweetheart probably not the best time, but go for it.

I like to think that during pfl (using his s9 characterization, not s10) wash is the guy you go to when you want to know something (ah la a line in the fall of reach novel I believe where chief says the enlisted personnel always seem to know stuff bc wash is clearly enlisted).

he's in a position where he's privy to information from the higher-ups, and he's friendly enough with the lower rungs that he knows the gossip going around. as a bonus though, wash ain't no narc, so if you want that information you need to offer him something of equivalent exchange (consequently fueling the 'guy who knows things' thing). for example, north had to tell him about using equipment in the field in order to get him to tell him what his meeting with internals was about.

wash isn't the only guy who knows things, of course, but he's the guy who has the widest base of general knowledge. ct is also someone who knows things, but she's a lot more specific, and what she lacks in scale she more than makes up for with how in-depth her knowledge is. wash is where you learn about something from, ct is where you get all the juicy details (to the point of it almost being tmi). she also has an equivalent exchange policy, but people tend to be a bit more reluctant to get information from her because of what her knowledge is (and the borderline 'insane conspiracy theorist' energy doesn't help either).

florida? well...you don't wanna know what he knows. the cost is simply too high.

God dammit I've reached the stupid pah-wraith shit in my ds9 rewatch..... I'd forgotten about that

[thatonepikminperson]

Head cannons that I may or may not have (Pikmin 4 Ones)

Dumbest ideas ever here we go (Long post btw, using the read more so it's not too long for people just scroll tags)

Just to get the relationship head cannons out of the way, Dingo is homies with Bernard, Yonny and Russ are evil besties, and Shepherd and Collin are friends, anyway time for some unhinged head cannons

Collin drinks coffee right as it's done, even if it's boiling hot just because he doesn't have the time to wait for it to cool down. His taste buds hate him for this

Russ has set off the fire alarm on the S.S. Shepherd at least 8 times during the Rescue Corps Mission on PNF-404, mostly on accident

Bernard sucks balls at cooking and is banned from the small kitchen on the S.S. Shepherd. Idk why I feel this one, but man's has 100% burnt the water

Oatchi has ate money before, how much? Up to you to decide

Dingo doesn't understand the concept of knocking 80% of the time

Yonny reads smut in public without batting an eye. I'm not elaborating more on this one, he just does

Bernard has a playlist of over 600 songs just for when he's driving, which ranges from hard rock to vocaloid

Shepherd was an adventurous child, and climbed out of her window to get out of the house when she was grounded for fun

Bernard may or may not have accidentally gotten Dingo into vocaloid, and Dingo can never live this down

Sometimes, Collin just makes rice and an egg and calls it a "good meal."

Shepherd forces Collin to eat sometimes

Shepherd often goes to dog shelters and has to physically restraint herself from adopting every single dog there

Oatchi has tried to eat Shepherd's hand on several occasions, and has failed every single time

Dingo is really good at most sports, except for dodge ball because of that one rule where if the person catches the ball your out. Dingo hates that rule with a burning passion

Bernard says "oopsie doopsie" and "lol" out loud, unironically, all the time

Yonny has once tried to add a robot leg to Oatchi. Shepherd did not find this as fascinating as he did, unfortunately

Russ is Yonny's second victim when it comes to consuming his concoctions, but he's way more willing to do than Dingo and will sometimes give the concoction a review like he's at a five star restaurant.

Russ has electrocuted himself at least 18 times before, and he's also electrocuted Yonny twice

Collin has had to drag Yonny away from Dingo to stop the doctor from experimenting on the poor ranger

And finally (For now, If I think of more, I'll add more), despite everyone's differences, everyone on the crew is very protective of each other. You mess with one person, you mess with all six of them. (Technically all seven of them if you count Oatchi)

[lucasoliko]

I was just thinking that if I was Abigail and John gave me a kid and then just LEFT for a year and came back and didn't even want to take care of said kid. That man would've died the same night he returned to camp like I'm just saying

And even if I didn't end up killing him why would I stay with him (when he still doesn't want to take care of HIS FUCKING KID) if there's a BEAUTIFUL recently widowed woman that just arrived to camp like c'mon now let's be real

[sabrondabrainrot]

Sorry to keep rambling and yappingg away but this time i swear it's not about Sun for once. It's actually a genuine question, do people actually like Monty? I understand the purpose of Monty and actually like some of their plots I just can't stand the fact Monty feels so stagnant.

I find Monty's arc around saying Earth and wanting to make their relationship work actually really cute. So far I just see Monty genuinely trying to be a good partner to Earth and take her on dates and be open and honest but that very rarely happens. Monty ends up hiding a lot from her however Earth works as a great way for the audience to know Monty Moore intimately. One of the biggest deals for me is when we find out Monty's was crimes are actually just jokes and he they never did any of the unspeakable things!

Except they actually did? Monty wasn't joking about killing hobos etc. They weren't kidding when it came to scamming people and lying to make money. They aren't ever honest in their intentions. Monty goes against what people ask and want constantly.

The progress of the show so far paints Monty like a step forward giant leap back type. They want to do good things but I swear they've never done a genuine act of kindness.

Monty beat Foxy until Foxy forgot who he was. Then purposely kept the thing that could restore him away from foxy intention. Then intentionally didn't build Foxy a new body just after utterly wrecking Foxy's current one. Monty is trying to seemingly fix it but everything keeps stopping it from happening. Except, is what Monty doing a kindness or just their selfish guilt? Plus, don't forget how Monty constantly beats Foxy down.

Monty also NEVER listens to Puppet. They unfairly instigated solitary confinement against Puppet. Puppet herself always knows things she can't fully tell to Monty and despite earning so much of Monty's trust and proving over and over again she should be listened to, Monty still refuses to. I understand Puppet at times is hard to trust when she's being enigmatic but unfortunately Monty gets warned over and over again and just never listens.

Now there's the entire FC and Frank situation. Frank offered a solution that wouldn't be majorly altering a child's body through life risking surgery. Frank is another hard to trust enigma but when it comes to FC and Foxy, Frank has only ever been Foxy's biggest supporter. Instead, we got the surgery and altering route which worries me. If FC naturally burned off star power I think the kid would have been fine but now there's all these added variables with the core being in FC. It's super cool plot wise cause I can tell it's going to lead to something but also, why would Monty basically say their way or the highway?

LMAO I lied, talking about Sun and Moon for a moment. Monty is Old Moon's best friend but they're also the kind of friend who trash talks others to bond. Something he did a lot was compliment Moon by pointing out a problem in Sun first then pointing out a Moon trait he liked. But also on the same hand Sun confides quite a bit with Monty. He's asked Monty for help and Monty repays that with scams and punches. He recently, went out his way to randomly punch Sun in front of all the daycare kids and take FC from Sun's watch just to bring him to Foxy. And a lot of his violence is mainly towards Sun. He was ready to kill Sun for being a tiny bit more popular than him in that one ep when Sun almost took over the pizzallex's new official mascot.

I think Monty is only really kind to Lunar and Old Moon for some reason.. But I also find some of their interactions to be some of the best of Monty. Monty genuinely telling Old Moon to talk it out when Sun was hurting and wanting to kill Eclipse was amazing advice (it's not Monty's fault Moon sucks with words ) and just everything with Lunar? Monty I feel shines best in these instances.

I just get so conflicted when it comes to Monty. I at first laughed along with them. They were this really funny underdog type that was ride or die but as the series goes on i just realized Monty is so mean spirited.

I really don't understand why Earth gives them so many chances.

Like after seeing how New Moons start into the dark side went, I can for sure say I kind of blame Monty. I think New Moon shares most of the responsibilities of his actions however Monty basically forced New Moon's hand. New Moon after all did say "you were planning to kill me." And Monty was. Just to get Old Moon back. Sun went to Monty and Foxy for help with New Moon and despite Sun and current Moon helping them they both told Sun to kill him. They upset Sun to the point he ran off and they acted surprised he was hurt they wouldn't really help.

Puppet gave Sun an agonizing ultimatum but before he could really weigh his wants and needs of the family and ask his siblings Monty went and meddled which forced everyone's hands and ultimately led to Moon/Nexus desperately breaking out, Earth getting burned, Monty being destroyed again, Puppet getting exhausted, and ultimately that entire fiasco going all according to Dark Sun's keikaku.

Maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture? I honestly just don't think Monty is likable at this point and that's a big problem because they're a main part of the cast. They're supposed to be likable aren't they?

[mikesbasementbeets]

to be real for a second, i think there is a moment in the show where mike has a ~realization~ of sorts about his feelings but hasn't quite put two and two together yet.... and it's this:

this realization of "hey my feelings for will are actually maybe different than my feelings for my other friends, but i'm not sure why" happens at the end of season two. and then mike spends the entirety of season three acting sort of strange and different around will while having his relationship with him constantly juxtaposed with his relationship with el. reaching the end of that season which, despite all the supernatural shit going on, took the time to focus so heavily on those two relationships (and how fundamentally different they are), and having mike have the same realization he had at the end of season two makes no sense because it would mean he accomplished absolutely nothing in his emotional arc during the course season three

especially to claim that he still believes he has feelings for el going into season 4. especially to claim he still believes he has feelings for el by the end of season 4. it's to claim that he has not made any emotional progress in his relationships for at least two full seasons, that he's been going through all of this for it to not have made any conscious impact on him, and the changes in the way he acts from s2-3 and from s3-4 aren't a product of his character developing (growing, changing, to quote hopper's letter) but rather..... ? i don't know actually. just him feeling weird but not understanding himself at all. still. it just doesn't make sense to me. he's one of the main characters of the show, and to keep him emotionally stagnant for 4 out of 5 seasons (especially when we can see that his behavior is changing, that he has not been stagnant at all but rather deeply affected by everything) would be a disservice to his character, first of all, but also a disservice to the narrative which has been showing us his (as well as the other characters') struggle with growing up and growing into himself every season. and it simply doesn't align with what we're being shown

mike is already having realizations by the end of season two. but by the end of season three, he's starting to be really honest with himself about what they mean

[navree]

i think a LOT of people need to remember the "you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to isis" tweet

[shikai-the-storyteller]

There are SO many cool interactions and lore things we can look forward to now that Rubius says he'll come back to QSMP (not only as an angel / demon, but potentially as a human too!), but that little detail reminded me of something:

Even though q!Vegetta and q!Rubius were mutually interested in each other wayyyy back in the beginning of the series, as an Angel / Demon, Rubius said he can't have relationships with humans because it's against the rules.

But a bit ago on stream, Rubius said that he's thinking about having a "human" side so he can build and do more things on the server as a regular player. I'm excited because this means he can have more casual interactions with people and we can see him interacting with his friends more (and he can experience The Horrors), but also...

I think we're in for some very interesting drama in the next few weeks.*

* ( Assuming Rubius doesn't get harassed off the server by toxic shippers and weird fans of the Eggs again. Please be nice to Rubius and welcome him back kindly, he's a very cool guy and his character is SO interesting )

Men who view women as their intellectual equals 😍

[softquietsteadylove]

Kindly gonna ask you to let Boxer Gil have a photoshoot. Make it sexy. Thena will like it 😏

"Night," Sersi waved on her way out of the studio.

Thena waved to her assistant teacher as well. On most nights, she would stay behind to practice by herself, perhaps rehearse old routines or choreography she had developed and wanted to perfect. But tonight, she had something else in mind.

Gil had told her that some sports magazine was going to interview him for the upcoming match he and Ikaris were having for charity. She knew that he was quite a star from their days in the pro circuit, not that he liked to talk about it.

He had downplayed it quite a bit, claiming he would just be embarrassed if she was there to see it, but if she saw a bunch of strangers loitering around his studio across the hall, they were there for publicity reasons.

And she couldn't resist trying to get a peek.

The dance studio glass was frosted from the bottom up. It was far too laborious and expensive to frost them all, but they required some sense of privacy for their rehearsals. Gil could just peek in over the top.

His studio glass was also clear, but he'd had a huge stripe painted on to obscure most of went on inside. It did the job of course, and it also left some space at the very top where one could peek in. She wasn't tall enough by natural means, but there were a few chairs outside on which the photography crew could rest.

Thena darted out of her studio and crossed the hall in one leap. She could see the glow of the lights and see the flashes of the cameras from outside. It had never been in her nature before to spy on something. But she just wanted to see a little bit of Gil actually showing off for once. He would never have to know.

On the chair and even on her toes, she could just barely peek into the studio. Her eyes barely cleared the top of the stripe and she had to press her face to the glass. But she could see part of the benches Gil had, and the furthest corner of the ring.

Gil was leaning against the ropes. His shirt was off but his gloves were on. They had definitely shaved him, because not even the little trail of dark hair under his bellybutton remained. She had seen that once or twice.

Gil leaned off the ropes. He was taking direction of some sort. She had to admit, he didn't look particularly happy about it, either. He got into position, threw a punch or two. She had watched him practice a little, but she'd never been able to see him really swing with everything in him.

The muscles in his chest and back contracted with his breathing. They bounced and jiggled. He rolled his eyes as someone with a spray bottle came over and sprayed his chest. She leaned closer to see if some camera assistant was going to rub it in.

Thena yelped as the chair slipped from her standing on the very edge of it. It was just barely, but managed not to fall and crash directly into the window from her nonsense. What was she doing?--spying on a man she had only been seeing for a few weeks?

"Thena?"

Gil really was oiled up. She wasn't sure why he felt so embarrassed by that. She reluctantly turned to him, humiliation making the tips of her ears burn. "Sorry."

"What are you doing out here?" he asked as he closed the door to the studio behind him. He tilted his head, taking in the photography gear now on the floor and her, still in her leotard and skirt, caught red handed.

She cleared her throat, wringing her hands in front of her. "I-I know you told me not to attend. But I suppose...I couldn't help my curiosity."

Gil chuckled, which wasn't helping her feel less mortified. "Hey, it's okay. I just feel kinda dumb when they rub baby oil all over me and tell me to 'pretend' I'm boxing for the camera."

She frowned, and he reacted immediately, wondering what he'd said wrong. But she had to ask, "who rubs baby oil all over you?"

"What?"

"You said 'they rub baby oil' all over you--who is 'they'?" she asked, crossing her arms. It was defensive; she was lashing out at something else to deflect things away from her. But also, if he was going to get rubbed down by some young, flirty intern-

Gil laughed from the belly this time (the belly that was still on full display). She didn't feel any better about it. "Sorry, I meant it as a figure of speech. They spray me down, I oil myself up."

Thena pursed her lips. "So, if I hadn't kept watching I wouldn't have seen the pretty blonde with the spray bottle rub oil all over your chest?"

Gil shook his head. He stepped closer, although considering he was lathered up, he couldn't exactly hold her. But he leaned in so he could whisper, "the only pretty blonde I have any interest in is right here."

Thena looked down at the edge of her skirt fluttering between them, truly and deeply embarrassed not only by her jealousy but also having been caught in the most undignified way possible for it. And of course Gil's response was just to flirt with her.

"Uh, Gil?--what's the problem out here?" a man poked his head out of the studio door. He eyed her, "fan girl?"

She was quite ready to spit nails at him but Gil put his hand on her arm. "This is my girlfriend, from across the hall. Just give us a second."

"Okay, but we're on a schedule, man--chop chop," he muttered before leaving them to the hallway.

Thena inhaled as Gil turned back to her again. Her heart was still in her ears, and she wasn't sure if her skin was going to cool down unless she went outside and stuck her head in the snow. Gil could obviously read her fluster off her, too. He had on that grin he got whenever he brought coffee to her in the morning. "Boyfriend?"

He pressed his lips to her temple. "Well, your goslings call me that, don't they?"

Yes, and she was constantly, desperately trying to discourage them from it. "I did tell them not to, for what it's worth."

"Don't," Gil smiled as he moved to kiss her lips. "It's cute. And they're right, aren't they?"

She held back that she had never had someone she would actually call a 'boyfriend' before. She wasn't sure when to bring it up or what qualified one. She leaned in for one more peck instead. "I suppose."

"Hey, why don't you come in?" Gil grinned, nodding his head towards the studio with her hand in his. "You've already seen me, so I guess it's not as embarrassing. And when I'm done we can grab some dinner?"

Her eyes drifted down to his chest, still shaved and bare and oiled up and bouncy. But she forced herself to smile with at least some dignity and nod. "That sounds lovely."

Gil held her hand as he opened the studio door again. "Hey, we're almost done, right?"

A mess of answers from the various people inside jumbled together. They all seemed to be different answers, at that. But Gil guided her to sit on the ringside bench while he climbed back up into the ring with the photographer.

Thena looked around, taking in the environment. She had been inside Gil's studio before, but it seemed cramped with the amount of people working on this. She turned her head as the young, pretty blonde smiled and waved at her. She did not need the reminder of her petty insecurities.

"Okay, okay, give us a couple really good action shots and I think we'll be good to go!"

"Fine," Gil drawled, rolling his eyes. Thena held back a laugh, he sounded just like her teenage students when it was time for drills.

But Gil got into position again. Now in the room, it was easier to see how the lights created more shadows, how his skin bent around his ribs and his flanks, how the meat of his muscles met the angles of his bones. She could even see scars he'd told her about from old fights, or the surgeries needed after them, specifically.

Gil threw a few punches, seeming more willing than he was before. A few hairs drifted onto his forehead but they added to the effect. He swing wide, made a few jabs, even swerved and swayed.

He was a thing of beauty, like a sculpture come to life for a precious few moments. Thena watched him the way she looked at statues in a museum--reverently. He twisted for one and she caught the angle of his hip, the edge of his underarmour contrasting the waist of his shiny shorts.

"You're a lucky lady."

It wasn't the pretty blonde with the curly ponytail, but she still pursed her lips at the lighting assistant commenting on her boyfriend, "I'm aware."

"Okay, great work, pal, I think we've got it," the man from earlier commented as he leaned over the camera. "We'll be in touch, and we'll see you at the match, yeah?"

"Sure," Gil shrugged, utterly uninterested in it. He came out of the ring on the other side, dragging himself down the stairs. "Can I get a towel, please?"

Yet another young intern threw one his way, which he immediately used to try and de-grease himself on his way over to her. His smile was sheepish again, like the one he'd had when they first started exchanging waves and smiles from across the halls in silence.

"That wasn't so bad, was it?" she asked him with a smile of her own. He sat next to her heavily, just as worn out from the attention as his daily classes.

He shrugged, wiping at himself aggressively. "I guess not, just always feels kind of dumb when they get me up there playing pretend, y'know?"

She nodded, whether she really knew what he meant or not. She did take the towel from him to rub his back down for him. "I think you'll need a good shower to get this off."

He huffed, and his back muscles gave her quite a show as he did. "This is why I hate these shoots. There's no need for me to be greased up like a piece of pork belly."

He had much more muscle on him than a piece of pork belly. Thena pressed her lips together to contain her amusement. "Is this your way of saying you want Korean barbecue for dinner?"

He half turned to her, eyes sparkling. "Well, if you'd be up for it...?"

She had to admit, it was delicious on their first date. She didn't indulge in heavier foods like red meat often, but for Gil, she could bear with it. "You go and shower, I'll call and reserve a table."

Gil twisted around the other way, nearly slipping off the bench in his glee. He kissed her cheek on his way up and towards the showers. "You're the best, Gorgeous."

Thena felt that familiar warmth fluttering its way all through her system, leaving her to smooth down her skirt. The crew was bustling around her to pack up and get out of Gil's space. She also would have to change and get her things from her own studio.

But she pulled out her phone, dialing the place since she'd saved their number after their first date there. Just in case (Gil didn't need to know). "Hello? Yes, I'd like to book a table if I could. For two...my, um, boyfriend and I."

i'm struggling to fall asleep so i'm sitting in bed thinking about a what-if cold open skit with kuroba where the viewer gets to see the world through their reality and it turns out they're basically supposed to be a slice-of-life iyashikei protagonist.
