Am I...?? (Inwardly GASPS)!! Which Part...??

Today is March 2nd 2021 and I got my puter back and went to look at what I had last written on December 16th 2020. When I opened the file, it had been changed… dates had been obscured and certain things had been reworded… So… I have decided to go back through all of my previous posts to ensure the integrity of what I am writing stays that way! During this process I will be putting together a collection of my favorite quotes and post fragments. Which I will dub Rock and Roll’s Greatest Hits, if you live near me go buy airhorns Ill tell you why, When the greatest hits album comes out. What your about to read is primarily from Dec. 16th with a few changes or should I say… restorations?? Probably a little of both to be honest. Everything is still as it happened, I just add better descriptive words and fine tune the analogies so that they are easier to digest… My English teacher always told me that was what I was good at! Along with many others… who have said the same… not only do I understand it… I’m able to explain it in a way that others understand as well. ENJOY

On the seventh of December I woke up not too sure if something had occurred that night or not… as I have mentioned before they use a numbing agent that basically masks the pain until it wears off approximately 12 hours later… When I a woke on this day I was having moments of clarity and for some reason just couldn’t keep them to myself. talking to one of the staff members of the homeless shelter I expressed my destiny that I actually had one, that was going to bring me to greatness… then out of nowhere I just blurted out there is going to be a power shift!!!! And at that very moment I couldn’t believe what it was that had just come out of my mouth. I didn’t even believe it at first because the guy at the desk was like IDK… about… that… but when I went back into my room, the look on my roommate’s face said it all!! It seems as though those who pull strings and orchestrate a lot of this… put all of their eggs into one basket. I don’t know exactly what the terms of thee bet were but I’m assuming it had/has something to do with me not being able to control my compulsivity associated with my dissociation. Unfortunately for them I made a deal with God. It was while I was on quarantine and even though I was in a basement all by myself people kept F$%^&*!> with me. This is when I prayed stating that I would not falter, for my body his temple his craft and his glory. that I need to take care of myself and my destiny, for it is in his hands and I won’t let my selfishness or imperfections stop him from fulfilling his plan. Over and over again I have cried and cried about how fundamental and powerful this is all going to be. EFFIN CRAZY!! And now that I know without anyone telling me and it literally being given to me somehow is what is freaking everybody out. How do I know or how the hell did I figure it out!! I really couldn’t tell you and the only thing that is possible is that our Creator endowed me with such responsibility. Crazy!! (this was before I considered the probability of God being a woman, A mother, A Lover)

Low and behold one of my favorite artists Mr. Kid, Maniac, Rager, Wizard, Pursuer of Happiness Cudi dropped a new album entitled Man on the MOON Three. Ill have to say it’s a wonderfully made album! The album delves deep into who Scott is… I know the Fans are going to love it.

Rewind a little bit sorry for my hiatus just needed to stay focused and well as your aware have been led here not by accident and had some things that I needed to take care of before I started writing again. Not to mention I have been dealing with a lot only to know that I am who I am for a reason Rockstar Knights off MOTM3 has a lot to say concerning who I am and what I have realized as a result to my struggle. The Song is a collab with Trippie Redd and really encapsulates so much, that its hard to describe in words.

I had a very interesting conversation with my mother the other day and came to a pretty profound thought. 1st I was telling her how I was being told that I am too….!!! Smart!! Like WTF!! REALLY!! Is that even a thing?? But I didn’t let it get to me too much as it probably is the reason I face so much adversity, No matter the community I enter into. This is how I have explained it to her and a couple other people in the community as well as the Rasta Man in the PNW. The best analogy I could present is if a plant with a fire burning so big and so hot on one side of the plant, a fire so big and hot that it probably would kill most other plants, but not this plant. This plant had sooooo much drive and will to live that instead of giving up it grew in the opposite direction of the blaze. While the roots could withstand the blazing inferno becoming one with the heat and pain Upon the journey away from the fire (society) the plant developed different characteristics colors and attributes that no other plant had. Essentially that journey completely changed that plants physiology Psychology and possible its genetic makeup altogether. Now that the plant has grown so far from the fire (Society) that its all alone. Now theres a different kind of fire where he once thought was safe. But as he grows back towards the fire to escape the new blaze (tyranny) he realizes he will never be able to be the same as the fire he grew so far away from. Now the only option the plant has with death being imminent is to grow as big and bright as quickly as possible before it is engulfed on all sides.

All this taken into account along with factoring in the two major belief structures in the world one Being Creation or Evolution (The Big BANG) this plant which has defied all odds still shines brightly displaying its colors and unique characteristics no matter how dark the room may be it still continues to bloom! Is this a Divine will and plan or are we experiencing the next step of Evolution??? My honest opinion is its both! For the mere ability to adapt and change and prevail in situations others couldn’t dream of or even have nightmares about is truly remarkable and in my eyes is an act of GOD! Just as any evolutionary step would be. The crazier part is… he has no handle!! Nothing to grab on to leaving no way for anyone to grab hold and control! AYE….

I thought this all might just be me being stubborn or simply an idiot until for some reason I opened up my meme App. Something I never open or even look at and the first thing that popped up was a picture and quote saying that many told Marilyn Monroe that she was only beautiful because of the clothes and dresses she wore. It then concluded Marilyn Monroe did a photoshoot in nothing but a burlap potato sack. The photos and the message she sent were completely opposite of that which was being said by spectators. Now!! As scrolled to the second meme I was expecting something funny!! That wasn’t the case what I saw next was the upcoming alignment of the two largest planets in the solar system Jupiter and Saturn. Not only does their alignment happen only every 20 years but the proximity of this occurrence to the earth as well as the proximity to each other hasn’t been the same for close to 800 years… What does it all mean… IDK but The Christmas Star is what their calling the alignment and if your familiar with the bible is the star that the kings, from other lands followed to bring gifts to baby JESUS! Who knows what this alignment could usher in.?

So profound thought comes to me on a daily basis now it’s so strange the way that it comes it will just be momentary thoughts that will pass through my conscience and as they go by I latch on to it delve a little deeper and experience an overwhelming amount of… IDK what to call it but it feels very powerful so much so that it brings me to tears… I don’t know exactly what the future holds but I think that is what makes this so great! I just keep my mind open Like apple IOS Systems letting everything come and go as it pleases when something goes by that strikes me, I latch on and don’t let go. Its weird how it all happens.

Steve Jobs once said that if he had never had an acid trip that he would have never of come up with the operating system for Apple and after explaining to you what I do as a spiritual and destiny seeking process I believe was his thought process as well. This in of itself is what I think they mean when they say to keep an open mind. Just so you know I didn’t come up with that little bit about the late Mr. Jobs by plan it just came to me when thinking about how to have, use and keep an open mind.

The reason I explained this to you was because this is how I Pray! After I pray I sit still with an open mind allowing multiple ideas thoughts and perspectives to pass through my brain… until like an IOS operating system, something speaks to me… when I latch on to it, focus on what it means and what it will mean… “I Get Those Goosebumps Everytime” (Goosebumps, Travis Scott, feat. Kendrick Lamar, Birds in the Trap Sing Mcknight, 2016). This is how you know! A little extra for ya, when I went to look up the info for my first Hip Hop citation it was 11:11 lol there they go again… its really a cool feeling!

Can someone tell me if that APA or MLA…?? Ya know what!! Eff IT!! None of my writing is orthodox, besides I kinda like the way I did it haha

Kid Cudi’s new video just dropped and I couldn’t be more amazed with all of the hidden messages that are in there. He is officially the man on the moon. Passion pain and demon slaying like a maniac on the pursuit of happiness. Love that DUDE!!

That’s all I got for 12-16-2020 Five More Days…

LOVE & PEACE

Songs

Heaven On Earth – Kid Cudi

Goosebumps – Travis Scott, feat. Kendrick Lamar

Dirty Heads – Sound Of Change

Just so you know the only thing I added this time other the cleaning up what I had already written was the praying part. Although I originally remember that being the purpose as to why I wrote what I did looking at it today March 2nd 2021 it wasn’t there… have a great day everyone. Ill post this on 3/3/2021

I've added parts to the story on my business cards and will leave then random places, what you do with them is up to you but I think It would be cool for those who want to stop me to have to work extra hard just like they make me!!

LOVE

i was writing a small thing and then it became big... just my thoughts about my life as of today.

the asks people sent when i told my whole stupid story about my dumb ass life were really very kind and sweet.... i read through them sometimes.... im not trying to Fish for anything when i say this but like... idk the situation i was in made it really hard for me to leave without feeling bad, and they’d thought up every way to in some way make me guilty even though objectively there wa literally nothing..... idk just, me personally i take every bad emotion a person i care about is feeling or might possibly be feeling or may feel at a future time and i soak it in like a sponge.... so they knew if they made me feel bad enough it’d make me stay.....i guess i kind of already made a post about this but some people sent asks about having gotten through situations like this, and people generally like.... expressed pride in me... lame but ever since i disconnected from everyone i ever knew before my dad died excluding maiya and online friends..... i guess what im saying is ever since my dad died and i lost that familial feeling of living in dc because i had to move, and i was far from anything i knew... i felt so, so so weak and frail, and living in my old situation was crushing me up into a tiny ball.... i feel stupid saying it but it feels good when people are proud of me ; _ ; and im proud of me too.... i really felt so small, and i was like genuinely despondent and ready to die, but i realized like.... with all the crazy ass shit that had happened to me, it would have been so easy to just Die..... and for 2 years i was barely present, but i like....survived.... and really, that was a bad time. i used to scoff when people would say i was strong for that, because i’d think: “what’s so strong about not dying...” because it felt like a suspended plan frankly (grimace emoji im typing) but i also decided that i would try as HARD as possible to NEVER act like teen me again. because right up until my dad died, i was a brat who was unwilling to take in feedback.... i wasn’t Bad or anything (questionable) but i’d go to therapy and goof off because i was very flippant about it in a passive aggressive way.... like, CLEARLY this STUPID BULLSHIT wont help me so ill be REALLY sarcastic about it! im cool! i kind of realized it after my dad died but LITERALLY i never did ANYTHING to help myself! like, i’d get really sad, but i’d make no real effort to change that, and i thought it was ANGST and MALAISE and ENNUI, and it was that, but it was also my unwillingness to step into uncharted territory: developing myself as a person consciously lol. at therapy i never took anything in and was too busy trying to make light of my situation that nothing ever got done, and i realized i never took any advice anyway.... like, when people say “try meditation”..... like Duh thats a stupid reply but also like.... Have you? i hadnt until recently.... and guess what! it didnt work at all! but i am like willing to try literally anything (within reason) and i want to ACCEPT everything just like....

i was SO ADAMANT about rejecting like...... idk Norms?????? as a teen , i really dont know what my aim was but it wasn’t working and i was making people annoyed because i’d whine and whine over my problems but never do anything to fix it, and i’d go and say “NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME!!!” with like 5 people messaging me. idk just, life was handing me little tools with which to improve and better myself and i refused. i was a fool at therapy and i was annoying and SOOOOO depressed but weirdly comfortable with it simply out of unwillingness to change my habits.....you know? and after my dad died, like... everything i previously felt was just......i just realized how incredibly petty it all was? NOT t say im not petty now, but i was like GOD DAMN i was suicidal.... over that? like i was really crying and freaking out over THIS? my two years of like PTSD cocoon smoothed it out to the point that it almost just feels like i was thinking for a really, really long time, and only came to when i felt the answer coming on. i’m not saying i don’t still grapple with self pity and stuff but i kind of blinked and absorbed the WORLD for the first time...... i really wasn’t living life yet. i was 19 which is Older than 18 and i lived with my dad and his gf and i was fresh out of high school doing a little community college.... like i was walking around dc and having a grand old time going to the cliff and the woods and then id go home and talk about how badly i wanted to die..... i just like.... i decided that i CANNOT waste any more of my time acting like that because i wasted my most precious time, time with my dad, acting like a crybaby. i’m just disgusted thinking about how many opportunities i had to be happy and have a good time that i DECIDED not to take. and i can’t even really explain why still, but i just know i can never ever be like that ever again oh god the bird is tweeting its mornign sorry im back... just SORRY that was my roundabout way of saying like... i guess i have changed and like a LOT, and i DO feel strong... so thank you for caring about y progress!! AHH!!

#it gets a little depressing sorry but im okay just thinking.#and appreciating u and appreciating the good in my life

Episode 1a: Honeymoon Phase....Ugh!

It’s been about a month since the two dimensions collide. Earth and Mewni were one, and magic was successfully destroyed. Everyone was together, although people were still getting used to seeing monsters, walking around their neighborhood and there being four moons instead of one, things were starting to come together little by little.

A group of four teenagers were sitting at a table at Britta’s Tacos, having their weekly lunch together. At one end there was Tom, eating his taco with the hot sauce he puts on every bite.Janna sitting next to him, almost done with her’s and looking annoyed at the other two sitting on the other side of her. Star and Marco, wrapping their arms around each other and giggling.

Sure, Janna wasn’t being bitter about their relationship, it was just that they were doing this since they got here. Janna eyed Tom, who as well tried not to looked annoyed, putting on a fake smile and tried to make conversation.

“So uh..is there anything planned for today? Going to the movies or maybe play board games?” Tom asked. He really couldn’t of anything that the four of them could do without someone complaining or getting bored.

“Well, actually Star and I were gonna go to the zoo..I guess we should’ve told you we were going on a date later.” Marco explained.

“Oh no no! Don’t worry about it, Janna and I were just uhh.. Gonna go explore a bit and just wanted to know if you guys were free.” Tom said putting his hand on Janna’s shoulder.

This made Janna more irritated, not only there was physical contact she wasn’t expecting, but..he was lying, big time. Janna decided to keep her mouth shut since she promised herself that she would be nicer this year, but boy, this was going to be difficult.

“Oh well, okay! That works out then. We do feel bad that we didn’t tell you..” Star said before finally taking a bite of her taco.

“No, it’s okay. It all worked out so there’s no worries. Right Janna?” Tom said looking down at the filipina girl. He still had a nervous fake smile on his face, he knew this was a really...awkward situation. Especially since Janna didn’t not like being touched. She still didn’t look too happy. “Hands off dude.” She said. Tom quickly does so.

“Well, it’s almost 1:30, so I guess we better get going.” Marco said to Star as he crumpled up his wrapper and other trash he had. Star decided to take her taco with her for on the way. “ We’ll catch you guys later!” Star said as they both walk away from the demon and the bluenette.

“See you guys later! Have a good time!” Tom said waving them goodbye.

As soon as they weren’t hearing distance, Tom sighed heavily and rested the side of his face on his hand. “ Ya know, I’m as irritated as you are, but you could’ve at least TRIED to look happy for them.” Tom said.

“Yeah, but you didn’t have to lie. They’ve been going on dates and leaving early to do things together ever since they’ve become an item.”Janna complained.

Tom sighed again. “I know,they’re in their ...Honeymoon Phase.”

“Ugh, well, I guess I’m finished with this now..Are we actually gonna do something or did you just not want them to feel bad..?” Janna asked.

“Well, both kinda..Did you have anything in mind?” Tom answered.

“Well, you did say something about exploring this place a bit. That could be fun.” Janna said finishing up her taco. Tom finished his and crumpled up his wrapper. The two don’t normally hang out much. They seem to still butt heads with their different behaviors. But it was worth another shot since the last time the two of them hung out they were almost killed by a giant monster bird.

“Oh, okay! Well I guess it’s settled then. Let’s go see what’s new around here!” Tom said standing up.

This was gonna be an interesting time for the both of them.

On the walk to..wherever they decided to go, it was a kind of awkward since again, they don’t really hang out much and don’t really have a lot to talk about. Not making it any better that they’re both socially awkward and striking up a conversation with someone you don’t know that well is nearly impossible.

However, Tom takes the leap of faith and tries to start one.

“Sooooo, how’s life treatin’ you?” Tom asked awkwardly. Janna gave him a “are you serious?’ face.

This wasn’t starting well.

“It’s fine, I guess.” She said. Her face didn’t show it, but she was also having trouble finding something to talk about. She didn’t dislike Tom, she had no reason to. He was a cool dude, but man he was almost as bad at starting conversations as she was. She kinda felt bad.

They started their way towards the monster castle where Star’s room was still visible. Janna’s heart dropped when she looked in that direction, for various reasons. But to distract her from her thoughts she had to think of something to talk about.

“What do you think Meteora’s title would’ve been if none of this happened?” Janna asked. This caught Tom by surprise, he didn’t expect her to ask something like that. Then again, she was very invested in Eclipsa’s family and history so maybe he shouldn't be.

“Uh well, maybe like..Meteora the Returned? Since ya know, she was technically a lost princess at first.” He said.

“Yeah, that does make sense.” She said. Tom was relieved that there was an attempt, but still was a bit of an uncomfortable silence after that. He started to worry that if she was mad at him or if she felt pressured to hang out with him again. Even though she was in the same position, but he didn’t know that. He can’t read minds, let alone there’s no magic for that to happen.

“Dude, check it out.” The bluenette gasped pointing at a house figured shadow. Yes, of course she finds something mysterious and creepy to explore. Before he knew it she bolted towards the shadow and almost lost where she was.

“Hey! Wait up!” Tom exclaimed starting to run after her.

“Ah! Look how cute those pandas are!!” Star exclaimed. The pandas were sitting in their caged area, eating bamboo. They really didn't have to do much more than be adorable. “Yeah, too bad there aren’t many of them left.” Marco said sadly.

There was a few seconds of silence until Star turned to Marco frowning. “Marco...I really do feel bad for not telling them. It just feels like we ditched them.” Star said.

“Yeah...It kinda does feel that way doesn’t it? But it seemed like they had plans anyways?” Marco said while taking pictures of the pandas. “Yeah but, we do this..a lot. Like we leave to do our own stuff when we’ve promised both of them that we would all hang out more.” Star explained.

Marco put his phone down and looked at Star. They didn’t really think about it that way but, Star was right. It does seem like they ditch them a lot. Realizing this felt like a mental slap to the face, and why did they just realize this?

Marco put his hand on Star’s shoulder. “Maybe we should talk to them about it when we’re done then.” He said with a little smile. Star smiled back. “Yeah, I feel like that would be the right thing to do.” She said.

They intertwined their fingers together and continued their zoo date.

This house in the depths of a creepy forest. The trees were moldy and dark purple goo was dried up in certain areas of the branches. Tom found the house they were looking at. It seemed really poorly built with all the wood being crooked and off white paint chipped and parts of it put on unevenly. Windows were mostly shattered and even had mold on it as well on the frames. Seemed like a typical old abandoned house, now the issue was is that Janna was nowhere to be found.

“Janna?” Tom called out. Maybe he shouldn’t be so loud. Maybe that might set off some trap or some crazy person might come out of nowhere and try to kill him. Tom kept walking in circles and started tensing up. What if he couldn’t find her? What if she was kidnapped and didn’t realize it? What would he do then?

His mind started running with worrisome thoughts, to the point where his heart started racing and breathing heavy. He can hear his heart pound so loudly it was too loud..

“Hey.”

“AHH” Tom yelled and whipped around to see who it was. Almost gave him a heart attack.

It was Janna, standing there right in front of him.

“Dude where did you go? I’ve been looking for you everywhere?” Janna complained.

Tom looked at her in shock. “What do you mean?! You darted off and I tried catching up to you and then you were gone!”

“Tom, I did not go that far- YOU ran passed me when I slowed down for you to catch up!” Janna raised her voice.

“Janna, I saw you right in front of me the whole time until you just..suddenly disappeared.” Tom said more concerned.

There was definitely something fishy going on in this forest. Janna swore on her life that she slowed down for him to catch up. Realizing this made her suspicious. “Dude I swear I stopped for you.” She said.

Tom was starting to realize this himself. Usually if Janna was pulling a stunt she would’ve admitted it by now. Or wouldn’t look so worrisome herself.

“Look, let’s just skim this house and bounce out of here. Something’s weird about this forest.” Janna said as she started to walk off. “Wait!” Tom exclaimed. “We need to stay close, I have a feeling this forest is trying to seperate us for a reason.”

Janna opens the door to the old moldy house. There wasn’t much but a table, stove, and a dirty bathtub. Again they planned on not staying there for long so looked over everything as quickly as they could. There wasn’t really anything to investigate and they dared not to look in the other two rooms in the hallway. However, Janna did come across something on the table.

“It looks like bits of pages of a book.”She said handing one of the pieces to Tom. He knew he couldn’t take a good look at it so he shoved them in his pants pocket. Janna froze for a moment. There was something painfully familiar with what she was looking at. She couldn’t really read it but, she’s seen the writing before.

“Janna? Are you okay?” Tom asked. Her eyes widened and turned to his direction. “Dude..doesn’t this look like the b-”

Before she could finish her sentence the door slammed shut. Leaving the demon boy and the filipina girl in the dark of the room. Both of them froze in fear. Tom carefully inches his way closer to Janna so they don’t get separated again. Suddenly they hear whispers from all around the room, again the voice seeming very familiar.

Trespassers must die!

Trespassers musT DIE!

Both of them terrified, grabbing each others arms look up and see a shadow of human like figure crawling on the ceiling, repeating the chant but now more aggressively.

TRESPASSERS MUST DIE!

The figure than hissed at them and was ready to attack. Janna and Tom had no idea what to do, they couldn’t use magic or any powers in fact. Janna had one thing on her but she was afraid it wouldn’t work. But she knew it was worth the risk.

The figure launched towards and before it could reach them,

“CHICKENBUTT!”

Janna snapped her fingers as quick as she could and threw her arms above her so the hypnosis would affect it. The figure stopped in mid air for a split second and then collapsed to the ground. Janna looked down at it once again trying to figure out who or what it could be.But before she could say anything Tom pulled her out to the door. “ Come on, we need to leave, now!” Tom said.

The person or thing that tried to hurt, still remains a mystery.

The four teenagers all met up at Janna’s house, they were in her room. Star and Marco wanted to talk about something really important. But so did Janna and Tom.

“Guys, I..we’re really sorry that we keep leaving early in the middle of our plans. We didn’t realize how frequently it’s been happening.” Star started.

Janna was sitting on her bed, “Yeah, but it’s been like every week you guys have done this. Just say you have plans and we can just figure out another day for all of us to hang out.” She said.

“Yeah, we plan things a little better, we promise we’re not meaning to ditch you guys or anything.” Marco adds.

Janna and Tom looked at each other, they were glad Star and Marco were clarifying things, but they had something else on their minds.

Tom told Star and Marco about the forest they stumbled upon and the incident of losing Janna while wondering around.

“Hmm, that sounds familiar.” Star said, Then it came to her why it sounded familiar. “Guys, you were in the Forest of Hallucinations.” she added.

It was starting to make sense why Janna and Tom were having trouble finding each other, they were starting to hallucinate, but what explained the unknown thing that tried to kill them? Was that a hallucination?

“Wait, that doesn’t make sense, wasn’t that forest demolished decades ago?” Tom asked.

“Yeah but, the only way it would’ve recreated itself is by magic.” Star said looking concerned.

There was a dead silence for a few seconds, Star’s eyes widened and suddenly started walking to the door.

“Come on Marco, we need to go talk to Eclipsa.” Star said.

Before Janna or Tom could say anything, they were gone. Janna turned to Tom and grabbed the pieces of ripped pages out of her jacket pocket. Tom did the same.

“This is from the book of spells isn’t it?” Janna said.

“It kinda looks like it.” Tom responded.

The two looked up at each other, Janna looked at the door and then back at Tom.

“I don’t think it would be a good idea to tell Star yet.”

Loki Laufeyson x Reader ~ Rest Assured [Pt. 10]

[My Marvel Masterlist] [Previous Part]

A/N: Sooooo.... Plans have changed and now there will be more than ten chapters because this segment ended up being much longer than anticipated. I’m sorry it took this long for me to write and post this chapter!

Also, the time difference between now and the previous chapter is mentioned in the dialogue, but for those of you who want to know before reading this, it has been two Midgardian years.

Word Count: 2359

“Well, that should conclude today’s session. Have you experienced any negative reactions or symptoms since my last visit two nights ago? Lightheadedness? Headaches?”

“No, she has not,” Loki answers from the threshold of the room, stepping in with a sly smirk on his face, “and, as my wife, she would be wise to inform me if otherwise, right, darling?”

“Spying on us again?” An amused smirk stretches across (Y/n)’s lips. She gestures for her husband to take a seat beside her on the bed, her head immediately resting upon his shoulder. “You both know as well as I do that I have been feeling just fine, so quit worrying so much over nothing. All that fretting will turn you two into wrinkly old fellows before I even get a chance to become a mother.”

A pregnant silence leaves the God of Mischief and Sorcerer Supreme staring awkwardly at a random corner of the room. Their constant badgering comes with good intentions, but (Y/n)’s teasing brings up the fact that maybe, just maybe, they truly are worrying over non-existent health issues that she has long since overcome.

“Now, if you two don’t mind, I would like to rest.”

With a quick nod of acknowledgement, Stephen bids the two Asgardians a good night before exiting, the door automatically closing behind him thanks to JARVIS. Loki and (Y/n) remain unmoving in the darkness of their shared chambers, both unsure of their next move.

Deciding to break the silence, Loki clears his throat softly while glancing over at his wife. “You wish to conceive children in the future?”

“Of course,” (Y/n) answers quickly, though her voice can barely be heard. “Why would you ask such a thing? Of course I wish to have children with you, though I have no demands on when it will happen. Is it not something you wish for, my love?”

“I have done nothing to prove myself worthy to potentially be a parent. If anything, my actions discredit me.”

“Oh, Loki, you have done no such thing.”

“What are you tal-”

“Let me finish,” she states, cupping Loki’s face; her firm grip pulls the black-haired god closer until there is no longer an empty gap between them. Pressing a chaste kiss to her husband’s lips, (Y/n) ensures his eyes meet her own as she explains, “I understand and am fully aware that several…previous events…have broken both legal and moral codes, but you’ve moved on from that. So long as you learn from those mistakes and never repeat them, that alone proves your worth.”

“Be that as it may, there are many others from numerous realms who will disagree with such a statement.”

“Who says you have to listen to them?” (Y/n) has a point. Listening to others has never been Loki’s favorite thing to do, so why should he bother to stop now? Plus, he can never win an argument against his perceptive wife— (Y/n) knows best. “Ignore those who only express their hatred towards our lives; they do not deserve a second of our attention.”

Birds chirp happily as they glide throughout the morning sky, providing a serene view as (Y/n) gazes out the window from her seat on the couch, the book in her hands long forgotten as her mind wanders.

“Good afternoon, (Y/n),” Thor greets as he strides into the room. Despite the large smile on his face, the dark circles convey his weariness from having just returned from a mission with his fellow heroes. “I was informed you wish to speak to me as soon as possible.”

The God of Thunder’s entrance startles her from her thoughts. She closes her novel, setting it aside with the intention to continue reading later on, and stands to greet her brother-in-law, who pulls her into a tight hug. Her arms remain wrapped around Thor for a moment longer than anticipated, prompting to him question the reason he was summoned.

“Yes, but first, I must ask: How are you, Thor? You must be exhausted between all the assignments with your team and your continuous travels to and from Asgard. Surely you can ask for Heimdall to pass on messages instead of running back and forth between two worlds, or request for one of his messengers to assist you?”

“Though the many journeys have left me weary, it is my responsibility to inform the AllFather of Loki’s progress here on Midgard. I do not wish to burden Heimdall. He has many duties as it is. Now, what is it you wish to discuss, (Y/n)?”

(Y/n) returns to her seat on the couch, resting her hands in her lap as they fiddle around anxiously. Patting the cushion next to her, she gestures for Thor to sit beside her. The large blond does as he is asked, a worried frown taking over the cheerful grin on his face once he notices the young woman’s nervousness.

“It has been nearly two Midgardian years since my departure from Asgard…and though I do not wish to pressure Loki into agreeing unless the decision comes from his heart, I have given this decision a lot of thought: if and when the time is right, I wish to have a child with your brother.”

“That is wonderful, (Y/n)!”

“Yes, however, Loki's opinion on the matter differs drastically. Your brother believes his attack on Midgard, along with his upbringing and bloodline, dictates the future of his child, should he decide to have one.”

“I do not understand…” Upon noticing Thor’s blank, lost expression, (Y/n) shuffles to sit closer to her confused brother-in-law. For several seconds, the young woman remains silent to gather her thoughts in order to clarify the situation.

“Thor… Loki is afraid. His hands are stained with blood and betrayal, his biological father was a manipulative, cruel individual who only ever brought death and despair to those near and far, and numerous realms do not take kindly to his existence,” she cautiously explains in a hushed whisper, afraid to catch the attention of any unwanted listeners. “Your brother believes he is unfit to father offspring, and I am quite sure you are aware of his hatred towards his heritage. He still struggles to accept himself; he sees himself as a monster.

“As the child grows older, they will bear the responsibilities of being Asgardian royalty, which is a formidable expectation alone, but Loki’s past will follow our family even after our passing; it is a part of our history. Asgardians are warriors. We often yearn for the thrilling rush of being on the battlefield. If they were to learn of Loki’s current situation, that alone would rile the citizens enough to start a war between the people and sovereign family. Loki’s child will only receive hatred just as he does.”

“Father has a plan,” Thor interrupts (Y/n)’s explanation. He understands his brother’s fears, and with the help of the Allfather, steps have already been taken to ease the citizens of Asgard into the idea of Loki’s return to the realm. “We had discussed this long before Loki was permitted to return to Midgard with you. The Allfather plans to slowly convince the people of Brother’s improvements. With you by his side, I am sure we will be able to persuade them in no time!”

“Stark, I require your assistance on a matter of great importance!” Thor storms into Tony’s lab with only his thunderous footsteps and booming voice providing the latter any hint of the Asgardian’s arrival. The sudden announcement piques Tony’s curiosity, but without any context, he remains silent to allow Thor to continue his train of thought. “(Y/n) approached me with her concerns over a personal issue she wished to discuss, but given that you claim yourself to be a genius, I shall ask for your assistance.”

An eyebrow raises at the mentioning of (Y/n). Since Thor mentioned her issue being personal, Tony is confused as to why he is being so open about the matter; if it were him, he would not want his brother-in-law going to someone else to talk about a private problem, but maybe this is different.

“Okaaayy…I need context here, buddy. What sort of godly problems call for my help?”

“Loki requires assistance in bearing a child wi-”

“SAY WHAT,” Tony shouts suddenly, hands dropping the tools that were once hovering cautiously over a new prototype gauntlet. Said prototype discharges without warning thanks to a soldering iron coincidentally falling onto the operating panel.

From across the room, Bruce is quick to duck beneath a nearby desk as debris rains down from the hole in the ceiling that Tony has now created, shooting a pointed look at his colleague once the dust settles.

“My bad,” he apologizes with a sheepish grin. “But in my defense, Point Break shouldn’t have sprung that sort of information on me without any warning. I really didn’t need to know that Reindeer Games and his wife are trying to make more trickster gods. In my tower at that.”

“That is where you are wrong,” interjects Thor, “My brother fears his late attack on your planet, amongst many other issues, will affect his ability to produce children. I understand you possess plenty of experience with women, especially with your lover, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could lend your expertise to Loki.”

The God of Thunder’s statement leaves Tony sputtering out his coffee mid-sip, staring at the man in question in absolute disbelief.

“Excuse me?! What did you just say? Please tell me that I did not hear what I think I just heard. JARVIS, am I going crazy?”

“Well, according to an analytic scan I performed the other day, your br-”

“Y- Don’t actually answer that. I was being rhetorical.” Hunching over the table with his temple resting on three fingers, the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist loudly exhales as he takes his time to take in the words Thor had just spoken.

He truly does want to help the blond god, but the topic is neither his or Thor’s business to be sticking their noses into. Everything should stay between the two gods concerned with matter. Tony is pretty sure that if he were to approach either of the two to talk about it, they would turn him away.

“Okay. I’ll humor you for a bit, blondie. Why should I help you? Correction: Why should I help Loki? Even though he’s staying in my tower, that doesn’t mean I actually like him.”

“As you already know, (Y/n) belongs on Asgard. Though she is content with staying on Midgard, so long as Loki is by her side, her heart longs to reside in the realm she was born to live on, and the Allfather is well aware of this. He allowed for (Y/n) to follow us to Midgard in hopes that Loki will yield to his lengthy sentence.

“Those two are heirs to the throne. Without them, Father has nobody to succeed him when the time comes, as I do not wish to rule Asgard as its king. Loki and (Y/n) are expected to birth an heir in order to secure the fate of Asgard, should tragedy befall on either of them.”

“Wait, why don’t you want to be a king? I would love to be born into the royal family of gods from another planet.”

“Being a ruler is a heavy burden I am unequipped to bear. My brother, alongside (Y/n), is far wiser than I will ever be. He may not act like it at times, but Loki is the perfect candidate for King. I am far happier with my role as the protector of my realm, not its ruler.”

“But a king has to protect too, ya’’ know,” Tony points out. “But that’s beside the point. We’re getting off topic! So, what’s the point of me talking to your brother?”

“My father has informed me that Asgard shall soon accept Loki with open arms. If the two were to become parents, the Allfather may permit an early return. I understand that you wish for my brother to vacate your tower, and I only wish for him to live in contentment, so by helping Loki, we shall all benefit.”

A pregnant silence fills the room as Tony mulls over the proposition. A hand strays from his side to his beard, absentmindedly playing with the strands that come in contact with his fingertips.

No words can describe how much he yearns for Loki’s departure from Earth, he must consider his options. On one hand, if he does help the blond god with his family issues, Loki will no longer bother the Avengers, life in the tower will be peaceful, and everyone gets to live a happy life. However, on the other hand, Tony is willing to bet his entire fortune that the God of Mischief’s reaction to the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist’s interference with his personal matters will be anything but positive. Since the start of his sentence on Earth, Loki has been irritating towards every person who has stepped foot in the tower, yet he has never crossed any lines. If Tony provides his input, he fears more than just lines will be crossed.

He prepares to say no, to turn his back on the situation and let it pass without another thought, but movement outside the laboratory captures his attention. Beyond the frosted glass, the wealthy hero watches as the blurry figure of Doctor Strange puts a hand to (Y/n)’s head; she must have gone to him with concerns regarding her health, since Stephen has been studying Asgardian anatomy and physiology within the adjacent lab in order to treat the female Asgardian during her stay on Earth. Despite the strong urge to turn his back on Loki, Tony cannot find it in his heart to do the same with (Y/n). And so, with the guilt hanging over his conscience like the blade on a guillotine, a decision is made.

“Well, looks like I’ve got no other choice but yours. Lead the way, Point Break.”

Would you like to be a fly on the wall, observing someone else's life? No. People would try to swat me all the time, and I’d rather not have that level of stress lmao. Would you be interested in building a water feature for a garden? It would be nice, but not necessary. Do friends come to you for ideas for things like haircuts? Not really, and I’d rather they didn’t. I’m bad with advice like that and I much prefer giving life advice. Do you know anybody, who's gone to university at the age of 16? A lot. It’s a normal sight and it doesn’t mean that they excelled in high school. Public school students here typically graduate by 16 because most of the time they’ll only have one year of kindergarten/prep and not have Grade 7, so they’re always like two years ahead of private school kids. Does your keyboard have a wrist rest? No. I didn’t know those existed until now.

Do you have plants in your house? If so, what kind/s? Yeah, we do. I’m not sure what kind they are cos I never really bothered to find out. Do you consider the letter Y a consonant or a vowel? Consonant. When you're really thirsty, do you go for still water or sparkling water? Still. I’ve never tried sparkling water and I’m not really interested since I think it’s fizzy, and I don’t like fizzy drinks. If you carry a water bottle, do you reuse the same one or buy a new one? I have a tumbler. If you wear them, what are your loudest pair of earrings? Hoop clip-on earrings. Would you rather wear a tie or a bowtie? I think a bowtie would suit me. How many birds can you name just by looking at them? Probably not more than 15; birds aren’t really my strong suit haha. Which birds are most common around your neighbourhood? Maya. When's the last time you had a pot luck? More than a year ago at Angela’s mom’s birthday dinner. If you don't understand a reference in something, do you look it up? Yep, it really bugs me when I don’t understand something. Are you the kind of person to look at accident sites, when passing them by? When I drive by one, I’ll look at it for like a split second and – whether I’m able to process what happened or not – continue driving. The reason why it’s always so traffic at accident sites is because drivers take up SOOOOO MUCHHHHHH TIMEEEEEEE looking at them and wanting to see what’s up, and it’s a huge pet peeve. Do you ever see candles burning by the road side? I don’t think I’ve seen this happen. Did you ever make dolls or hand puppets in primary/elementary school? We probably did, but I don’t remember. Aren't baby chicks adorable? Sure.

Have you ever seen a polydactyl cat? No. Do you find Polish folklore interesting? Generally I don’t find folklore a fun topic, but I’m sure the Polish kind has interesting stories for those into it. If so, what are some of your favourite aspects of it? Have you ever been interested in the Middle Ages at all? Meh, it’s okay. I could read about other eras. Are there any languages you could try to work out what some words mean? Spanish. A LOT of Filipino words are borrowed from Spanish, e.g. bintana from ventana (window), kabayo from caballo (horse), kutsara from cuchara (spoon). Has a friend's parent ever given you a present just because? Yes. Angela’s mom does this for me a lot. What do you do with clothes you can't wear anymore? I pass them down to younger relatives or have them donated. What is something you're very particular about? Files on my laptop and grammar/spelling/amount of research in school papers. What is your dearest stuffed animal that you own? Why is that? I don’t have one. Have you ever had to try to pronounce words that have letters with umlauts? Yes. I’m typically unfamiliar with most of them and the only one I tend to remember is é because Beyoncé. Are you more an Eeyore, a Piglet or a Tigger? Eeyore, fosho. Name something awesome from another culture that is not part of yours: KOREAN FOOD!!! Do you have an appliance running right now? If so, which one? An electric fan. What makes you wary about a person? If they’re too much of an extrovert. Do planes fly over your area often? Meh, not really. We’d get them once in a few hours. When at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant, do you use chopsticks? Depends on the food I’m having. I’d use chopstick for sashimi or bits of meat; I’d use my hand for sushi; and I’d use a spoon and fork for rice meals like katsu. If you could, would you enhance your body with technology? If it would benefit me, sure? I guess? I’m not opposed to it, at least. ^If you would, what would you have done? Boob job. HAHA or idk, time travel maybe if we got to that point??? What are you grateful for NOT having? Acne. What's something you can't wait for about growing old? Retiring with a shitload of money and taking vacations for the rest of my life. How do you expect your life to go like? How are you ensuring that? I’m not holding up any grand expectations for my life at 21 because that’s going to drive me crazy. I just want to survive and be able to eventually provide for myself, dude. Or do you just wing it as you go? It’s half-winging and half-still remembering to be responsible as I weave through life. What's a yard game that you still enjoy playing as an adult? I don’t think I’ll enjoy playing those types of games anymore haha. What do you think is the most interesting sea creature? I once saw a gif of how seahorses give birth and I thought that was pretty fucking hardcore. How do you reset your head to zero, so to speak? I shut myself down first and stop talking to everyone to allow myself some time and space to breathe and feel. Have you ever gone exploring an abandoned building? Nah, I think I’d be too scared to do this unless it was part of a planned tour. What's for dinner today? Probably pandesal with some gourmet spicy peanut butter that we bought today. Nothing fancy since we already had a big lunch and we’re all still pretty full. Are there any foreign television shows you enjoy watching? Everything is foreign to me lmao so yes – Black Mirror, Breaking Bad, Queer Eye, Hell’s Kitchen, etc.

Today I woke up and realized a few things about myself.... . 1. Why do I beat myself up when things don’t play out the way I want it to play out?! . 2. I cry when I see cats sleeping. . 3. I love myself way more than I honestly thought I did. . 4. I literally have so much to be thankful for. . 5. I’m afraid of glass dolls (specifically ones with brown hair). . 6. Life is so full so many many wonderful things. . 7. I’m almost 30 and feel like I’m 17. . 8. My husband makes me feel like the only person on the planet. . 9. I LOVE potatoes more than I think any human should. . 10. I am ridiculous, goofy, loud, obnoxious, scared, adventurous, smart, beautiful, crazy, vibrant, full of life and 1,000% ME. I am exactly who I’m supposed to be and I have no regrets about THE LIFE I LIVE. I am happy in ways I can’t ever begin to explain. I used to care so much about what others thought about my life, but I honestly don’t give a fuck. I am sooooo happy. I was focusing so much on how others saw my life that I never really took the time to just sit back and look for myself.... now I have, it’s glorious! It’s okay to fail. It’s okay to have no idea where life is going to take you. It’s okay to be a free bird and fly wherever life takes you. It’s okay be love hard and get heart broken. It’s okay to laugh until you literally feel like your insides are shutting down. It’s okay to try new things. It’s okay to not know it all. It’s important you JUST KEEP TRYING, to live the best life you can live for YOURSELF. Not because someone said you should, but just because you fucking can. Anyway, if you’ve made it this far on this post... You’re fucking amazing and you rock! Plus, cool socks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #goodmorning #hellofresh #heyworld #love #selflove #selfworth #behappy #choosetobehappy #liveauthentic #livelife #beyourself #curls #curlygirl #curlsforthegirls #curlyhair #naturalhair #happyhair #vegan #vegangirl #happyvegan #veganism #transisbeautiful #twoc

Man... when I say life doesn’t give much of any breaks... it REALLY doesn’t. I’m out here tryna grasp on to ANY lil bit of fun cuz shit is ALWAYS poppin off in my life. Yesterday, I had to wrap somebody up in hug and pray over them for protection cuz they acting dumb dumb. I don’t need to have any children cuz these family members of mine stress me out enough. I grew up in South Central LA... I was focused on getting to 18 without a pregnancy, drugs and alcohol touching my person. So, when this foolishness amongst many others enters my life through other family members I don’t get it. What makes you feel so special that you don’t fear the consequences of your actions?!!?! So, as I wrap up my own personal issue, get a long term restraining order and close a court case. I might be pulling out the iron to prepare for some court dates... the foolishness doesn’t cease. Like we can ALL have middle class azz lives! Just ballin on the hill... and ya wanna be crazy and cause more conflict?!? Idk... what do you do other than compartmentalize another generational curse and keep it pushing?!!? This is madness. The youth of today have it sooo easy. They have technology and the streetz of L.A. are nowhere as dangerous as in the 80s and 90s but they wanna be ratchet sooooo bad!!! Yeah so when I say I’m on Auntie Mommy duty... shit is real. I have nvr gotten to just be the cute auntie who takes ya shopping and out to the beach and we have carefree visits. No, I have taken parenting and child development classes to figure out how th you humans develop and how to fix ACEs. And ya... this parenting shit is for the birds. I’d have to have a man who makes bookoo bank cuz I’m staying home and raising my babies like a drone searching for the next bomb. Fuck helicopter parenting. I’m a drone parent. Man... y’all better lecture the hell out of children cuz they’re either influencing other children or being influenced! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMAhcmJ0pvj_VnuylxnqRup13f_jEWYTvVMvE0/?igshid=guaq4qsct8h2

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Genre: Romance, Fiction

-Contains explicit language-

Chapter One: Blissful Pain

~~~

So...here I am. Just sitting in my room, typing away at my computer. Pouring my heart and emotion into the keyboard, the speed of my typing increasing along with my heartbeat. It would be appropriate to say that tears are pouring out of my icy, blue eyes and down my face, struggling to keep the sobs in my throat.

My spelling becomes sloppy, vision becomes ever so blurry. I bang my hands against my desk, my brown locks clouding my vision even more, and cry even harder. This can’t be happening...

Once again, I put all of my trust into a person who didn’t reciprocate it back. I guess that’s just how I am--stupid, vulnerable, and most of all, too damn gullible for my own good.

Memories flash through my mind of all the precious moments we had together. Those I wouldn’t trade for the world. Now, I would do anything to trade those memories for a painless night. One that didn’t involve me losing the love of my life, but CLEARLY life doesn’t work like that. I need a lot more than a fucking tub of ice cream to ease the pain stabbing through my chest.

Still filled with the undeniable rage in my veins, I look at the rose in the vase next to my bed on my nightstand. He got that for me on our two year anniversary...not even a week ago.

I grabbed a lighter from my desk drawer, left here by one of my friends. I snatch the rose from my vase and walk hastily down my steps out into my yard to my fire pit. I lit the innocent rose on fire, and tossed it in. I watched through pain-stricken tears as it crinkled and dried up, eventually disintegrating against the flame. Making sure it’s completely out, I slunk back into my house, into my room.

Tears starting to ease up, I look at the masterpiece I have created so far, which is pretty much a letter I wrote to him, knowing that he’ll never receive it. It’s a type of therapy I enjoy whenever I am upset, but upset doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel right now.

I’m shattered. Broken.

Completely and utterly hopeless.

~~~

Day breaks through my blinds, forcing my eyelids open. My body was drained from all the emotional stress and meltdowns that happened the previous night. Without a doubt, you may call me an absolute wreck.

I hear the whistling of birds through my window, wishing they’d shut the hell up. Normally, I’d go out on my porch outside my room and bask in the warmth and glow the sunlight had to offer. Today was NOT a normal day, obviously.

So by now, you want me to explain what the hell is going on. Fine. I’ll tell you everything:

The love of my life left me yesterday. Shocker.

I mean, what a CLICHE.

Alright, enough funny business.

His name is Santiago. An extremely gorgeous man, oh yes he is. I met him a while ago, clearly with no intentions of ever being in a relationship, but beggars can’t be choosers, am I right? Yeah, didn’t think so.

He is the kindest soul I’ve ever met, wouldn’t hurt a fly. So talented with his voice, extremely hilarious, and every conversation you have with him is anything but boring.

His dark, luscious, hazel eyes are what drew me in, and the way his skin glowed on a perfectly tanned spectrum. He has this wavy, thick, brown hair that swooshes in the wind as if it was trained to look THAT amazing. The way he smiled, pearly whites and all, was so comforting and looking at him smile feels like you’re right at home with him. His perfectly toned body...I won’t even talk about.

HERE’S the thing:

He lied and cheated on me with my best friend, and left me for her.

Yeah, it’s fucked up. I’m not even going to START that conversation. All you need to know, is that she won’t ever be hearing from me ever again.

I hear knocking on my bedroom door and I know exactly who it is.

“Stefanie, please open up,” Angel, my roommate, says sympathetically. She’s my other best friend, but clearly she has more common sense and morals in her life than the other bitch.

“Leave me to die, please. I would very much appreci-”

Just then, the door that I locked last night pops right open with ease. I shot right up in surprise.

“What the hell?” I retort, raising my arms in disbelief. “It’s locked for a REASON.”

“Yeah, and you staying in here by yourself all day isn’t a good reason. That’s why I keep extra bobby pins with me,” she smirks, with a wink.

“I wouldn’t have to resort to isolation if it weren’t for Christina...” I space, looking out the window, thinking of how Santiago is probably with her right now, telling her the exact same bull he told me. My expression must’ve explained it all, because Angel’s faced relaxed into a soft frown.

Life truly wasn't playing a fair game anymore.

“Fuck her. She’s irrelevant in your life now, as well as mine. Nobody should have to endure the pain you’re experiencing right now.”

I smile warmly at Angel. “Thank you. I love you so much.” She really was the greatest best friend anybody could ever have.

She walks over chuckling and wraps me in one of her comforting bear hugs, which has us both laughing and sprawled out on my bed.

“Let’s have a girls day, Stefanie,” she chimes, giddily.

“I assume I have no other choice?”

“You assume correctly, Mami.”

I giggled at the nickname she branded me with when we first met each other, which was in middle school. Crazy how time flies...

“Get yo’ ass up and get ready! We’re leaving in thirty minutes, makeup on or off!” she barks and playfully slaps my butt, leaving the room, laughing.

“Maybe we can find myself a NEW MAN!” I joke, which received tons of laughter from her.

Boy, I really had no idea what this day had in store for me.

~~~

THAILAND 2019 - Day Ten {Phuket}

Our tour for today was a sunrise tour to the Phi Phi islands, which is supposedly better because then you get there before the islands get crazy packed with tourists. We were scheduled to be picked up at 6:30, so I set my alarm for 6:00. I was depressed when it went off, because I had another terrible night’s sleep and the exhaustion was starting to catch up with me. Beach had decided to try sleeping on the couch, so she was out there when I went to go get my phone. I laid back down for a couple of minutes before I decided that I had better get going so we wouldn’t be late. I went out to wake Beach up, and found out that she had been super sick all night. She had spent over half the night in the bathroom. She’d tried taking pills to stop it, but wasn’t sure if they were working. She was nervous to leave the hotel in case they didn’t get in and she needed bathroom access all day. I didn’t want her to miss the tour, but I understood why she was worried about it. After she deliberated for a while, she decided she would try to come.

I was glad, because it would have been a super depressing day for both of us if she had stayed home. I did feel really bad she was so ill though.

We grabbed our stuff and met the taxi downstairs. He took us back to the same marina as yesterday, and it turned out that our tour was actually scheduled with the same company, and the same little tour guide, Mr. Boy! (And his odd female assistant for the day, who made a call of the wild every time we needed to head back to the boat…) I kind of felt awkward about being there two days in a row, but I guess we’ll never see them again so it doesn’t really matter haha.

I ate a banana from the breakfast buffet, but Beach decided to understandably stay away from food and water for the day. Because the tour was so snorkel intensive, we were able to pick up some flipper fins to bring with us for the day. We grabbed them and headed back down to the marina.

We had a boat very similar to the one the day before, so this time, we decided it would be fun to sit in the bow of the boat this time. We headed up there, and got comfortable, but soon regretted that decision haha. I grabbed a coke before we took off, opened it, and also regretted that! As soon as the speed set in, the wind up front was bad enough, and made drinking impossible, but WORSE was the super intense bumps! The water was sooooo choppy, and we were getting flung around like crazy. I tried desperately to keep my hand over the Coke can, to keep Coke from flying all over the place, but it was so rough. About 20 minutes into our insane ride, one of the tour guides came up front to ask if any of us what to go back and sit in the boat. We definitely wanted to take her up on that, because we were getting bounced all over the place. ROUGH WATER. Standing up and getting back there was scary, but we made it haha. In the back, the we’d get splashed with water from time to time, but the wind and bumps were significantly less so that’s an improvement.

Our first stop of the day was Phi Phi Lay. They first took us to look at the beach where a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, which I think is actually called The Beach, was filmed. It’s closed to the public now, so we only got to look at it from afar, but I guess that’s cool? I’ve never actually seen the movie haha. The Phi Phi islands are very beautiful though, I just can’t get over the water color here.

After we looked at that for a minute, we drove around to the other side of the island where we could actually swim/snorkel. Beach was feeling very nauseous, so we took our snorkel gear and swam to land so she could throw up – poor lil guy. It helped though, so that’s good! And the other problem was better for her at this point too! So things were looking up a bit. We put on our fins and masks, and did some snorkeling. It was way awesome here. There were soooo many fish – neon striped fish, teeny tiny fish, fish from Finding Nemo, long pointy fish, etc. We saw some sea anemones, like where Nemo lived, too. The water felt perfect, even though we were in the shade and it was super early in the morning. At one point, we were inside a massive school of fish! There were literally SO MANY. I was getting flopped by fish all over my body, it was crazy.

Then we hopped back in the boat to go to our next stop – Phi Phi Lay Lagoon. It’s a gorgeous semi-enclosed area that’s pretty calm and wasn’t too crowded so that we could swim there! We got to jump right off the front of the boat, and just swim around for a good 45 minutes. It amazed us how most of the people on our tour didn’t even get out of the boat. Silly guys – enjoy the moment! The water is great! Literally the views are indescribable. Gotta see it to believe it. AH. Obsessed.

Then we got back into the boat and made our way over to Phi Phi Don. On our way, we drove past some of the “bird nest mining” operations set up in some of the caves in the area. I guess there is a certain type of bird who makes nests out of their saliva, which is very valuable for health? It was hard to catch everything the guy was saying with his strong accent haha. So their nests are collected daily, and sold for like 400,000 Baht, which is like $13,000. I don’t really get it? But cool to see I guess?

Then we went to Monkey Beach!!! I don’t know why so many monkeys live there, but they do and it’s amazing. We saw so many on the beach, literally scaling the rock walls and vines, and some were even carrying their babies on their stomachs. It was super cool, and a very unique experience. We weren’t allowed to get out of the boat, because I guess they are kind of rabid monkeys and you can get bit by them – they attack haha. But we loved watching them from the boat for awhile. Our tour guide even threw bananas to them, and they would catch them, peel them properly, and eat them. So cute.

Then we drove down Phi Phi Don to another beach where we had lunch. This buffet was not nearly as good. I ate some rice, and some sort of sweet and sour tofu/vegetable mix. (Tofu – yuckkk). The watermelon was good, but I didn’t feel like I liked the rest of it at all. And poor Beach didn’t eat at all.

After we ate, we took some photos and then just laid on the beach relaxing. It was nice.

When everyone was ready, we hopped aboard, and went over to Bamboo Island for an hour of free time! This is another popular island, and it was a bit more crowded, but I can see why. There was powder-white sand, beautiful Gatorade blue water, stunning mountain views all-around us, and it was honestly just perfect. We set-up our towels, and spent the next hour rotating through swimming, tanning, and sleeping on the beach.

One weird thing – When I was down in the water, this little Thai guy came over to talk to me. I talked to him for a minute, then he started gesturing behind me. I turned around, and there was a woman taking photos of us. I thought that was weird, but then before I knew it, two more Thai guys were coming up asking to take photos with me. “You are very beautiful!” It was so weird.

Our final stop of the day was at another island closer to Phuket called Rang Yai. It didn’t have as nice of sand as Bamboo Island did, but it was still another relaxing hour of laying out, and then cooling off in the perfect water.

And that wrapped our tour up for the day! Hopped back in the boat, had some delicious pineapple and watermelon (sorry Beach), and headed back to Phuket. I honestly loved Chiang Mai so much, but the sheer beauty of these Thai islands can’t be beat.

We went through the same process of going back to the tour office, filling out surveys, and getting a taxi ride back to the hotel. We got done earlier today since we started earlier, so we wanted to go out and see Big Buddha, which is one of Phuket’s most famous landmarks. However, the taxi ride to the hotel took forever, so I was a little worried there wouldn’t be time. When we finally got there, we ran up to the room for a minute to change out of our swimsuits, and then went to ask Ms. Jub for a taxi there.

He drove us a lot farther than we expected, up a mountain to see Big Buddha! It provided a really gorgeous overlook of Phuket and the surrounding waters. Plus, Big Buddha himself was super impressive and cool. It was definitely one BIG Buddha.

(Let it be known that I have tried multiple times to get a good picture of Beach and I together on this trip, but every time they have turned out bad. I’ll get one eventually….UGH)

We took our time looking at the view and the other Buddha statues in the area, and then went back to where our taxi driver was waiting. He drove us back down the mountain and dropped us off at the mall so we (or rather, just me) could get dinner. Beach ate a couple of DQ cones, since she had been feeling better most of the day, and was literally starving, but she still wanted to play it a little safe.

I found a little restaurant to try, where I had mushroom pesto pasta, a chocolate Oreo shake, and a cup of Miso soup (which was not as good as the one I fell in love with in Chiang Mai, and I’m sad that I might not ever find one like that again). It was all really good.

We went down to the grocery store on the bottom level, to buy some body lotion for our poor sunburnt skin (we even put on sunscreen, but the Thai sun is just so powerful), and toilet paper because ours was now gone of course, haha. (Again, poor Beach).

And on our way to call Ms. Jub for a taxi, we noticed a Ramen restaurant. We looked through their menu just for kicks, and found a Miso ramen. Beach thought I should just try it, and so even though I had just eaten dinner, I ordered it haha. It was decent, but still not my OG guy. I have to give up the hunt – it’s too depressing.

It took a while for Ms. Jub to send the taxi, but we were alright chilling in the beautiful mall. I went to the bathroom, and it was the most ornate, beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen. I want it in my house.

Finally the taxi showed up and took us home. Ms. Jub charged us an exorbitant amount of money for the taxi rides (I still don’t understand why we pay her and not them…) which was frustrating. Usually, we like to settle on a price BEFORE we do the ride, but we didn’t have the chance this time. Oh well. It is what it is.

It was our last night in Phuket, so we had a lot of stuff to get done – Beach’s homework, my Tumblr posts, researching flights to Bangkok (story to come in a later post, but to sum up – UGH), pack, repack, and pack again, clean, shower….

But guess what’s awesome? The one redeeming element of this hotel (besides the pool of course) was the fantastic WiFi, but tonight, it up and stopped working. LOVELY. That was super frustrating of course. We couldn’t accomplish anything. So basically, we just packed and went to bed. Love that for us.

A Mist Minute: Episode 1 - Pilot

Sometimes we just don’t have the time to make a whole podcast episode about something like a TV show because they’re sooooo many episodes long and we’d need a million podcasts to cover them adequately. Who has time for a million episodes? Certainly not us! Just putting out 40 or so a year is killing us already and the sacrifices we’ve had to make in our personal lives are unmentionable. But every now and then there comes a TV show, nay, TV event, that we feel that we have to cover, especially when they relate to episodes we’ve covered already. I am of course talking about the new The Mist show, based off of the story by Stephen King (And 2007 Film) which we have definitively covered more extensively than anyone else on the internet ever and you can listen to HERE. So without further ado, the first of our “Minute” series, The Mist: Episode 1 - Pilot:

EPISODE ONE - PILOT

Military guy from The Arrowhead Project has amnesia, because of course he does, it’s TV, but I’m glad that they’re sticking with The Arrowhead Project and not making up something else goofy. Military guy gets his dog killed by something in the mist and then arrested for acting like a nut going on about mist.

A bunch of the gauntest actors around get up to adventures! Gaunt mom from The Vikings gets fired from school because she told kids about Blowey J’s! Gaunt daughter doesn’t like her gaunt mom because she won’t let her go to a football party! Gaunt daughter’s gaunt bisexual friend’s dad hates him because he wears make up! Gaunt drug addict lady kills a dude with a pitchfork, tries to dig up a bag of money from someone’s shed, get’s arrested!

Not so gaunt father tells gaunt daughter she can go to the football party behind gaunt mother’s back so long as she brings gaunt friend. Football players don’t like him due to him not just wanting to pound chicks because stereotypes are easy and everyone seems to treat sexuality like it’s the 80′s and not 2017. Maybe small town Maine is just super homophobic even today!

Well the lead up to this show talked about how much sexy sex was going to be in it, but what they didn’t tell you was that it was going to be the rape of a minor, ugh. And of course nobody but her parents believes gaunt daughter was raped by a football player, who is the son of a police officer! And of course the other football players throw rocks through the Gaunt’s house windows and spray paint whore outside the house! Any other cliches we can throw in here?

Frances Conroy is in this too! She’s so much better than the material provided and only made me wish they had cast her as Mrs. Carmody in the 2007 film. She notices a bunch of frogs and birds coming out of the woods and goes to the library to read about the “Black Spring” of 1860, allowing a little of the dialogue Mrs. Carmody has in the short story to show up for the first time.

40 minutes into the episode the mist shows up. Not so gaunt father has gone to the police station to report the stoning and gets stuck there with rapist football player cop father, doofy officer, gaunt friend, amnesia army guy, and gaunt druggie. A bunch of roaches eat doofy officer, cop father drives off in his car, and the other 4 are left at the police station to fend for themselves.

Frances Conroy and her husband are walking back from the library when some crazy guy comes out of the mist, shoots her husband, then hearing some monster kills himself, she runs to a church and meets Father Guy from Frasier.

Gaunt mother and daughter are at the mall where a character named Mrs. Carmody throws some shade about mother teaching BJs in sex ed, but mother comes back with some shade so hard about Carmody’s son that all the other old grandmother’s in line at the pharmacist with them give a knowing “Bitch got served” look. It’s cool though, Carmody goes out in the mist and gets her jaw ripped off so that she can look gory screaming back through the window at the other people in the mall. We also see that football player rapist is stuck in the mall with gaunt daughter too.

So I don’t hate this. Amnesia and football player rapist are both some seriously overplayed BS, and a rape is always a super cheap way to get some tension going so there’s that. Whoever did the casting also has an obvious hardon for gaunt actors, so if you have anything other than an ectomorphic body type you’re not going to find anyone like you in this so far. Even though “trapped in a mall with monsters outside” is not a new concept, I think it’ll work here, especially when I know ol’ Isiah Whitlock Jr. is going to be running it.

And speaking of swearing, I do like that they are dropping the F-bomb through the episode and just muting them out. I think this a much better than having grown adults not using the kind of language that grown adults would use as you see on really any ABC/NBC/CBS cop/hospital/crime show. What I DON’T like is that when you have bought the episodes on Amazon they are still muted out, because they think I’m some kind of delicate eared baby or some shit. I don’t know whose choice this is, Spike or Amazon, but I do know that when I watch The Magicians I get to hear all the fucks and shits and sexy talk in that (which is most of the show, granted) no problem. What I’m saying is that SyFy is more on the ball than Spike so far as third tier cable stations goes.

Lastly, let’s talk about third tier cable stations, and how you might think they might have the budget to afford technology better than a film from 10 years previously, but so far it’s not looking like it. All the mist seems to be done digitally or via a mist filter and it looks generously not good. I’m hoping they are saving all their special effects budget for the monsters, which may be the case as all we’ve seen kill a guy is some cockroaches somehow. That’s not super clear at this point because we’ve only heard a bunch of guys getting killed by monsters but have yet to actually see one. I swear to god Mist tv show, if you fuck me over on my mist monsters...

So yeah, there’s some garbage here, but there’s some possibility too. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR HOPEFULLY SOME MONSTERS AND SOME MORE SEXY SEX SEX!
