[interstellarlyinlove]

The worst thing about Remus and Sirius not really being friends anymore is that Sirius being his friend was one of Remus’ most precious things.

Sirius is a wonderful friend. He’s fun and thoughtful and he’s comfortable to just exist around. Losing that feels like something missing in Remus' very bones, an itch that he cannot reach, a scab that he picks over constantly and won’t let heal. 

They haven’t really spoken in almost five months, after Remus told Sirius to stop apologizing and leave him be. And everytime Remus sees something he wants to tell Sirius about, or thinks of a joke he knows will make him laugh, or sits where they used to  in the library late at night, his chest feels so heavy he cannot bear it. 

Then he remembers why all of this is happening in the first place, and he wishes he'd never been friends with Sirius in the first place. 

Except that’s not true. Not five months after the fact and not the horrible night of. Even when James told Remus what had happened and it basically boiled down to his worst fears coming true– Sirius himself willingly using the thing that Remus is most ashamed and horrified of in his life and throwing it as a bargaining chip in a pitiful argument– Remus hadn’t wished that. 

Remus walks into the Gryffindor common room late at night with a scabbed-over heart and the reason for more than half of his current problems is sitting in front of the fireplace with messy hair, an ink stain on the left side of his face and thirty seven pieces of parchment all around him. 

Sirius looks up and his eyes meet Remus’. He smiles quick and polite and strained and he starts collecting his wayward papers to leave.

Remus’ heart aches, and he’s horribly tired, and more than anything he misses his friend. “I don’t have a disease.”

Sirius freezes in the middle of collecting his things.

Remus laughs humorlessly. “Or actually, I do. But it’s not infectious. Actually, it is. But not at this exact moment. You don’t have to leave every time I appear.”

“Remus, I’m–”

Remus shakes his head and sits down. He’s breathing heavy because he really wasn’t planning on speaking with Sirius today. He saw Sirius and he couldn’t not speak to him. “This would be so much simpler if you were horrid and easier to hate.”

Sirius is looking at him like Remus has the key to the door that has the secrets of the universe behind it. And it isn’t fair because Sirius is the one that hurt him. Sirius is the one that ruined Remus’ favorite thing. “I don’t think I could hate you. I don’t have it in me, no matter how much I wish I did.”

“Remus, I don’t–”

“What you did was cruel, Sirius.”

Sirius nods, looking as heartbroken as Remus has been feeling for five months. “It is. It’s inexcusable, too. I never meant–”

“It is cruel, but you are not. And I miss my friend.” Remus really didn’t plan on crying, either. Nothing is making sense but Remus just keeps talking. “This is my olive branch. And, Sirius, I cannot emphasize this enough, if you ever use me like that again, I won’t–”

“I would never,” Sirius shakes his head. “Remus, I would never. I’m sorry. This is my biggest regret. I know that an apology means nothing but you must know–”

Remus nods. “I know, Sirius.” And he does. 

“I kind of don’t know how to act around you now,” Sirius says, then he shakes his head. “As if that’s not a me problem. I’m sorry.”

Remus, despite everything, grins. “I figured. Stop saying sorry, maybe.”

Sirius nods. “James is helping me think before I act more. I’m counting to ten now and everything.”

Remus raises an eyebrow. “Really?”

Sirius nods again. He looks tired. Remus supposes he himself looks tired as well. His treacherous heart is having a field day, though.  

They just sit together after that, not saying anything else. It is awkward and stiff and it is all Remus wants from this life, because he knows it won’t always be like this. And awkward and stiff is better than distant and bitter. He thinks, at least.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT GOOOOD MORNING here r some quick stuff i wrote down regarding cats/what to do when approaching one ! Wrote it all in the metro in a lil rush so there might be stuff i missed ;w;

Also I received some Qs regarding cats and rabies etc in the past too so I added a quick smt abt that at the end (my point still stands tho, cats are easier to maintain and take care of, so usually fellow neighborhood cats don’t carry (many?) diseases but if you have a weak immune system it doesn’t hurt to be vary of these possibilities too. (I for one just dig in for the belly rubs and pull my hand back before the cat can do a painful paw movement at me lmao, I’m too at ease w them…)

Oh and! If you see a street cat w the left ear chipped off a lil, that means the cat has been castrated. and! Three colored cats (white orangeish black) are always females (the three color pattern can be presented with the presence of two X chromosomes) while yellow tabbies are usually males (~90%)

Oki that’s all djfjf sorry it’s a bit long ;w; hope these help!! Have a nice dayy — @voidcat

danyl. just know i’ve committed these to memory again. i hope all the cats come to me tomorrow.

you wrote this in the metro ? >: for me ? i am so grateful thank u for helping me when u were inna rush >: OKAY NOTED ABOUT THE COLORS. although i would have to get super close (i refuse to wear my glasses so they look like a one color blob)

these notes … i’ve read them over ever since u sent them. they’re all in my photos and yes i AM committing them to memory.

first cress thoughts!!! and reactions!!! and everything else!!!

i am so sorry that it's literally the first paragraph of the first page but "It was a prison that came with an endlessly breathtaking view" literally no view is breathtaking once you get used to it enough why would a CHILD be banished

omg this poor girl is named after the MOON?? the irony. she literally hides from the moon when she sees it. i would go on about the symbolism and stuff but i'm not going to because my brain is too tired to function rn

cress IS a shell. but then why isn't she dead?? they're meant to be killed. erland mentioned that he lost his daughter and would be about cinder's age, but did he actually SEE it happen?? if not then i reckon she's his daughter (again cause i'm braindead obsessed with ouat not because i'm serious. i'm only 25% sure of this). but i also reckon that she's VERY valuable if she HASN'T been killed. link it to rich people having one rule for themselves and one for everyone else. so either she's useful. or someone wants her alive and is bending the rules for her. otherwise they would not be going to ALL this effort of the satellite

looks like my spy theory in the eastern fed is null - but to be fair cress might just not know about it yet. it's not exactly like she would be trusted with all state secrets and what not

"felt almost like a mother's approval" metaphorically or is sybil ACTUALLY her mother???

i love that despite the stress of having to face off against the queen, figure out how to deal with genetically engineered soldiers and all the weight they have on their soldiers they're still able to act their age and tease each other - except poor cinder

omg does cress have a little crush on thorne??? she is LITERALLY the same as those braindead gen z's on tiktok that simp for killers and stuff

OMG CRESS WAS THE ONE THAT CLOAKED THE SHIP ALL ALONG HOW DIDN'T I REALISE THAT

"Cress was convinced that she knew more about Carswell Thorne than anyone else alive" stalker alert!!! lines are blurred tho because this is literally war

oh no. scarlet has a french accent. jail. (but then is everyone speaking the same language?? or does everyone have a universal translator chip inserted???)

"said Cinder, and Scarlet could have kissed her" i KNOW it's figurative language but also i like diagnosing characters with bisexual/too damn hot disease so scarlet is now bi. if it was wolf that i called bi as well then they're bi4bi. but also i don't want to reread the entire first half of scarlet to try and remember which guy it was i decided was bi and for what reason

between cress playing like 10 different video games at once she's basically an ipad kid. her attention span has been fucked up by tiktok (just like me fr) she can't read or watch anything without subway surfers playing beneath it

also something i haven't said before now: i LOVE how all the girls of tlc have noun names. they're just like me fr. it's so gnc of them. i love their names SO much. it's giving nonbinary. evocative but like in a whimsical way~ it's somehow so fantasy but so futuristic at the same time and i live for it

DAMMIT I FUCKING DELETED AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH OF THOUGHT. gonna paraphrase here cause i'm too lazy. i'm very curious that cress calls the people of the moon lunars, mainly because she's lunar herself. like imagine i pass by a car and unironically think "oh there go the humans". it's strange. maybe it's her separation?? or is she part human and thus doesn't see herself as fully lunar??? i don't think it's because she's a shell. since the whole shell eugenics thing is a stand in for the lunar equivalent of poc, people with disabilities, minority religions, queer people etc who are all STILL human beings, hence the shells are still LUNAR. i'm sticking with my partial human theory until proven otherwise.

how FUNNY would it be if cress was completely wrong about thorne and he was just a douchebag and he was just lying after all that for sympathy. however given the textual evidence from scarlet, it would completely explain how he was completely open minded and down to support a lunar cyborg. honestly it makes him a lot more three dimensional. that said cress is still delulu

YES after what happened in scarlet i'm GLAD to see scarlet's mixed feelings towards wolf and his place in what happened to granny. forgiveness doesn't come easy!! love is hard. and yes, he has a dark side!! and she's just a normal girl. she's having one of the most human reactions i've ever seen to that kind of thing in fiction. i would have lost so much respect for her if she just ran back into his arms after all that, even tho i don't fully blame him. thanks miss marissa meyer for not just writing idiot lovesick teenagers. i can't wait to see him earn that trust back

Hello!

I'm writing in Spanish because my English is bad! You can use Google translate or ask someone to write it for you (@escritoradeilusiones is the person that got me here so I think she'd be happy! We talk a lot about it)

Hola!

Cómo estás?

Escribo porque tengo curiosidad sobre tu fic sobre Sung Jinwoo x El villano de la serie (cof cof Lannister cof cof)

@escritoradeilusiones y yo hablamos seguido de el, especialmente porque lo estamos usando como inspiración para un fic de OC en dating game y ambas consideramos que es el tipo de persona que Jinwoo amaría

(Un poco de caos mezclado con el instinto de "Jinwoo love me please 🥺" que hace caer a los hermanos mayores como si fueran de arena)

En total la pregunta trata sobre si has considerado hacer un capítulo sobre Jinwoo llevándolos a Corea para que disfruten del mundo moderno y vean lo diferente que es con la costumbre de la Edad Media

Normalmente hablamos sobre lo chicle que sería la situación típica de "Protagonista le muestra el mundo de los ricos a la protagonista" (a pesar de que los Lannister valen su peso en oro, al parecer). Pero como eso haría que Jinwoo sea feliz, sabes? Siento que su lengua de amor serían los actos de amor y entregar regalos (ya que su adolescencia paso deseando poder darle de todo a su hermana)

Solo esos capítulos de relleno donde todos se divierten como una familia feliz y tal vez Jinwoo no entienda porque pero es feliz cuando la gente pregunta si los niños son sus hijos o alguien se refiere a Tywin como su esposo/pareja

Sorry for the long ask! I hope this isn't too confusing

Screw Tumblr. This is the third attempt at responding to your ask. Let's see if Tumblr will crash again while I write this out. Again.

Have no brain juice to write for a while, but yes, Sung Jinwoo is 100% taking Tywin to modern Earth, if only to get a dentist to check on those teeth. Routine cleaning too. Can't forget about that. Having gum disease or yellow-stained chipped teeth isn't particularly appealing or healthy. If Sung Jinwoo can relieve his friends/lover of tooth pain, he's going to be leaping forward to solve it ASAP!

It would be remiss of any author to not make Sung Jinwoo a walking Santa. The guy can carry EVERYTHING in his portable storage space! Of course he can and should give gifts all the time. It's very Asian of him to do so (ahem kind of socially expected ugh) but also he's so rich that he doesn't know what to do with it all. He's not like Musk rich, but it's still more money than he knows what to do with it. So what better than to spend it (or some of it) on his loved ones?

Jason JD Dean x Veronica Sawyer

summary: JD and Veronica meet at night at 7Eleven, in a ruined city under a red, fading sun.

J.D. pulled up his hood and pushed the door open, gritting his teeth. If he'd had a choice, he wouldn't have gone out for a few more days, but his food supplies were running low.  

The world greeted him with its usual bleak landscape: the huge red disk of the waning sun hovered over the ruined city, tinting everything around him in various shades of decay. The city was in flames, and clouds of dark smoke billowed into the sky. The air smelled of gasoline and death. He turned into a familiar alley and immediately recoiled in disgust: a rat ran nimbly beneath his feet, a human finger in its mouth. The rotting corpse lying against the wall of the house raised its head and waved a fingerless hand in greeting. J.D. nodded sullenly and walked quickly past him before he could talk about the old days again. 

It was deadly boring to listen to and for the first time. 

Before entering the shop, he took a medical mask from his pocket and pulled it over his face. He didn't want to frighten the occasional passerby with a half-worm eaten cheek; after all, sometimes there were living people in the neighborhood. Recently deceased, he corrected himself and stepped through the open doors. 

"Jay, same as usual? Couple glasses of slushie and a frozen pizza?" Teddy, putting the magazine aside, gave him a mocking nod from behind the counter. "I wouldn't be surprised if, with your love of ice, you'd chew on it without even warming it up."

"Ha ha," J.D. muttered back, expressionless, and walked past him to the back of the store without stopping. Too much social contact for such a short period of time.... 

"Okay, I get it, you're not in the mood today," he grinned understandingly and returned to his reading. "Just don't scare off the rest of the customers with your sour face."

With a silent middle finger, J.D. walked around the chip stand and froze like a dead man. The girl standing at the slushie machine turned and stared at him with hypnotic brown eyes. The cup in her hands slowly filled with bright blue ice, the same color as her dress. In the midst of the putrid red, this burst of color was like a breath of fresh air.

J.D. swallowed frantically. She was alive! Not recently dead, but really, truly, no joke, alive! 

He stepped back, careful not to make any sudden movements so as not to startle her.

"I didn't think anyone else would drink slushie at two in the morning," the girl smiled suddenly, tilting her head to her shoulder. Did she say that to him? He looked around, but there was no one else in the shop. "Just a minute, I'm almost done. Literally just a minute more, the machine here is awfully slow..."

J.D. swallowed and stopped obediently. 

"Hey," he replied offhandedly, pulling his hood deeper as he fell silent again. He didn't want her to run away when she saw his worm-ravaged face.  

"Hey to you too, midnighter," she chuckled softly, "will you keep me company? I'm terribly bored. Well, unless you're in a hurry to get somewhere, of course," she looked at him expectantly, and when he didn't answer, she looked away in embarrassment. "Uh... sorry to bother you. I just moved in, and..."

"Here? To this neighborhood?" not holding back, J.D. interrupted her in surprise. 

"What, it's not a good choice?" she stuck a straw in her glass and stepped away from the machine to sit on the windowsill, her feet dangling in the air. "Low rent here, walkable to work, and overall it seems like a good place to live."

"Yeah... Good joke," he sarcastically grinned, walked over to the machine and then suddenly hesitated: cherry or strawberry?

"Take a blue raspberry, we'll have blue tongues together," the girl giggled behind his back. He seemed to say it out loud. "Do you always take food advice from strangers?" 

"No, only the cute ones," J.D. replied thoughtlessly, and bit his tongue sharply. She was going to run away from him in disgust, and she'd be right... He pressed the lever sullenly and filled the glass with blue ice. 

"Wow, did we get to the compliments part yet?" a playful giggle sounded from behind him, and he turned around in confusion and stared at her. Why was she talking to him so calmly? Didn't she notice anything? 

Once again, without any response from him, the girl blushed in confusion:

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, aren't I? My mom always told me I was as crushable as a tabby cat...oops!" blushing even more, she grabbed the glass and took a big gulp of slushie. And then, writhing in pain, she pressed her hand to her forehead. 

"Brain freeze, huh?" smiled J.D. awkwardly, crushing his glass in his hands. "I do that a lot. Helps me stop thinking about...stuff."

"Well, it doesn't work for me. I still think about how stupid I'm acting," the girl muttered, rubbing her forehead. The corners of her lips turned down in frustration; he liked her smile better.  

"I think you're pretty damn nice," he objected hotly, taking a seat on the windowsill as far away from her as possible. "I'm J.D., by the way, and you are?"

"Veronica. Veronica Sawyer," she smiled softly, and held out her hand to him. He froze hesitantly, staring at her hand: pale, with skin that was soft even to the sight of it, and her knuckles delicately pink with embarrassment. Was he really allowed to touch them? 

He didn't answer again for too long, and Veronica's hand dropped, trembling. 

"Am I doing something wrong?" she asked in a stifled voice, and J.D. shook his head quickly. 

"No, you're not. It's just... aren't you disgusted?"

"What? Why should I be?" her eyes went wide. He silently rolled up his sleeves and showed her his hands: rotting, with yellowish bones sticking out and skin covered in livid corpse stains. 

"Uh... I still don't understand," Veronica bit her lip, shifting her lost gaze from his hands to him. "What am I supposed to be seeing here?"

"I'm just a corpse, Veronica," he said heavily, and after a moment's hesitation, he pulled the mask from his face, revealing a gaping hole where his cheek had been. "I don't know where you're from, or how many people like you there are left in the world..."

"Like me?" her voice quivered with fear, or perhaps disgust. He should probably go.

"Don't pretend you don't know what I mean," J.D. sighed, reluctantly rising from the windowsill. "Just get out of here. There's nobody to save in this town anymore... People like you, alive, don't belong here."

He turned and crouched down, heading for the exit.

"Wait!" Veronica flew out of her seat after him, grabbing his arm impulsively. "J.D., wait a minute...you're alive, too! You're not dead!"

"Are you kidding me?" he turned around; his eyebrows knitted together frowningly on the bridge of his nose. 

"No! You're not dead," she looked pleadingly into his eyes, gripping his arm tightly, "and nobody's dead! I... I know how you feel. I can help you!"

"How?" J.D. looked at her sullenly. "And more importantly, why would you do that?"

"Because I can help! Isn't that enough?" she swallowed and stepped closer, almost touching him. "Just let me..."

"I think you're out of your mind," he shook his head in disbelief and stepped back. But the heart in his chest suddenly clenched in a ridiculous, deceptive hope. What if...?

"I'm definitely out of my mind, since I'm asking you to trust me when we've only known each other for about ten minutes," Veronica laughed nervously and stopped abruptly, staring at him with her piercing brown eyes. "Are you crazy enough to believe me?"

It seemed so; or he just couldn't resist that pleading look. Who could?

"What do I have to do?" he sighed doomedly. 

***

J.D. pushed open the door and stepped out onto the porch, squinting in the bright sunlight. The world outside the hospital greeted him with the rustle of yellowing leaves and the smell of recent rain. The drops still glistened brightly on the iron railing, the steps, and the row of benches that lined the alley. A girl in a bright blue dress standing on the steps looked up and stared at him with her brown eyes wide open. A moment later, her lips curved into a warm smile. 

"Hey, how about we run in for a couple glasses of slushie to celebrate your recovery?"

"Hey," he smiled back broadly, heading down the stairs toward her. "Would that count as a first date?"

She laughed softly and tilted her head back. The dark brown cloud of hair flashed gold in the September sunlight. 

"No way!" Veronica shook her head, laughing, and stared at him with a playful squint. "I'd vote for at least a Wendy's on a first date, and that's only because I'm crazy about their French fries." 

"Wow, what a coincidence... I miss their burgers," J.D. grinned, making her laugh again, and held out his hand. "So, will you come with me? Just for the fries."

"Anywhere for fries! And by the way, you're buying," she grabbed his hand and pulled him down to the path covered in puddles with bright gasoline stains. A fallen maple leaf crunched beneath his foot. He lifted his head and looked up at the deep blue sky, where clouds floated lazily. September smelled of rain and fresh pastries from the neighborhood coffee shop. Veronica looked over her shoulder and smiled as she squeezed his hand.

[stunkers]

Ok more info about the freehoun borrowers au because I’m so normal about it and all the cute boys are always sending me love letters asking me to tell them about my sick and diseased brain ANYWAYS

yeah so like basically Gordon is a borrower who lives in the blackmesa topside dorms specifically Barney’s apartment/dorm. Gordon has never been down in the facility but he knows damn well if he gets caught his ass is gonna get sent down there to run through a rat maze and worse shit!! Gordon ended up in the dorms completely by accident his dumb ass got stuck in someone’s luggage and that’s how he ended up in New Mexico.

And Barney has always kinda known about borrowers, his Mum told him about them when he was a kid and ever since then he’s always just been. Very aware of his living space. Like he notices the things go missing and he starts leaving little chips and stuff out on the counter just so he can see them disappear the next morning and he knows it’s not roaches because the facility and everyone else’s dorms got bugs but no his is so clean and tidy. (It’s because Gordon keeps every single bug he sees as a pet. Or he eated them.) so Gordon won’t get anywhere close to him or let him see him on the off chance that since Barney’s a security guard he might catch him and bring him into black mesa. Ahh!! Also gordon has seen the silly books barney reads he would definitely try and catch a silly weird little critter.

Anyhoo just like real halflife Gordon he is always breaking and smashing shit. Totally not on purpose here it’s just how he is but he smashes a glass while he is fighting off an especially large cock a roach that somehow fucking got in. All those damn chips barney keeps leaving out Gordon can’t eat them all. Roach got hungy. Gordon manages to kill that damn thing but owie he got a big hurtie cut on him! And that roach fucked him up bad! And fuck Barney definitely heard glass ball shatter!! Shit!! So he tries and hides while Barney is cleaning up the glass and a roach that has a sharpened tooth Pick imbedded into it and he sees a trail of blood leaving the scene leading under the couch and there’s a mouse man who is 1 apple tall who is hurt bad and very very scared.

Gordon freaks out and tries to run but he’s got a booboo and can’t get very far before barney corners him and Gordon’s like “oh this is the end I’m gonna get trapped under a cup and dissected” but Barney just gets down to his level and he’s like “hey you got a booboo. I know aid let me help u I’m not gonna hurt you I prommy” Gordon is. VERY reluctant at first but he also can’t take care of these wounds himself and he’s mostly just scared shitless so he agrees and wow barney is so nice and gets him patched up.

Snippets:

Tup had been so thrilled to have been given a gift of fruit- a form of space cherries from the locals- after the 501st had helped the planet fight off the Seppies and clankers. He had helped one of the local farms with clean up of the battle- and they had given him a basketful of cherries.

They are a warm orange pink colors with stems being a purple-blue color. He had gone to Kix and had them tested for edibility for near-humans and vod'e alike. He had been told that they were safe to eat, and Kix had only taken a small handful of cherries in recompense for the use of his time and equipment.

Tup is smiling and has an almost bounce in his step as he heads to one of the rec rooms and takes a seat at in one of the comfy couches and settles in. He has a bowlful of cherries- and a data pad with a good book to read.

Tup pops the cherry in his mouth- stem and all as he chews on the cherry and happily reads the book- it's a fictional work, with romance, fighting, and all sorts of other things in it. He's quite enjoying the book.

_____

Kix and Dogma had agreed to get their karking chips out of their head- and Tup was scanned, he did not have his chip, that had been removed, thank the ka'ra and the force. It did not take long for them to recover from the minor brain surgery.

The three of them meet with the rest of the bad batch, and the former members of the 501st have a tearfully happy reunion with Echo who holds them all with a gentle sort of desperation. Having a fully trained medic helped with certain missions that went up osik shape.

Also- with Tup and Dogma at the helm of the Ship, Tech could go on missions with the rest of them more as they rotate who is flying and guarding the ship verses who is on mission. They are more able to have Omega stay with the ship, as they have more than one other vod'e and crewmate on the ship.

Which is in general, a much safer location for Omega to be, she is still trained, and by a wider variety of vod'e. Kix, she shadows in the medbay, learning more medical skills, and he calls her, "my excellent medic cadet assistant."

They had their arguments of course, but on the whole they tended to get along better than be too argumentative. They are dodging the collective efforts of The Marshall Commander Cody and Crosshair- and their group of likely a blend of Storm Troopers and vod'e.

Rex was trying to coordinate with some of the local rebel cells - if they can manage capture Crosshair or Cody, he is not laboring under a false delusion that they could capture both of them, that was likely not going to happen.

Shifted AU: Cyborg Specter Quotes

In the Shifted AU, Specter was attacked by a demon species named Vox, it decayed most of his body so his ghost wouldn't properly form, that's what made Dr. Silvers (Dr. Buttocks) rebuild him as a ghost-like robot, who has his own intelligence, attitude, intentions, and memories. Yet of course, he lacks emotion, Sir Cumference is working on that. So here are some of Specter's quotes from this AU! Note that if you try to imagine his voice, it's just his regular voice, just more coded/robotic.

"My identification is Shadon Silvers, I apologize for the sudden inconvenience of not pleasing your needs Pac Man."

"[...] The sudden change caused me to adapt to more of my robotic abilities that were granted by Dr. Silvers and Sir Cumference."

"I am Shadon Silvers, a vast weapon that belongs to the Resistance and The Freedom Fighters as my intentions is to protect those of Pac-World and serve justice for the souls of the Nether Realm, my coding allows me to defeat whomever is in my path of achieving my goals and plans to protect our world as a whole."

"Negative. I can't access the Round House, their technological security has been damaged."

"I am defective and stupid, according to your variant my lord."

"Spiral as just a side character to your story? If I was programmed with the ability to show emotion, I would be dying of laughter."

"I am lucky I am just a robotic creation, I fear what would happen if I was able to show disgust to this man."

"Master Spiral, your father wants to see you in his office."

"As you wish my lord."

"Yes my lord."

"It is clear my lord."

"I'm afraid it's not my lord."

"I do not have the code for your request my lord."

"*glitching noises*"

"I suppose I will be your guide. Come along then Commander Betrayus."

"Death comes upon everyone, even the best people on our planet, but we shall not let it speak to those we love, that is why we pray."

"This will be the last time you see the light of day again."

"I have no interest in romantic desires, how in Pac-World does it even work? Is it a battle to the death?"

"I suppose I'm not very good with these things. "

"Children are very strange. That is why I stay with the adults here."

"Master Spiral, your father said to not interfere with your alternate being. It's a rule he made just now I'm afraid."

"Good morning Doctor, I am having trouble with my system."

"I appreciate your current effort Mr. Borealis, but matters like these require professionals. Learn from the teachers."

"The Cylindria of the Ghost-v-Pac timeline told me that you seemed less evil than Commander Betrayus. What do you think she meant by that my lord?"

"Master Spiral please do not encourage this behavior."

"Master Spiral! Manners!"

"Master Spiral I cannot do that, you are injured, I was told by your father to not leave the room until you are healed."

"Master Spiral, listen to me, you are a piece of sh*t and I will not tolerate these foul manners."

"Yes Doctor."

"As you please Doctor."

"Shadon Silvers. Cease talking."

"My lord your son is just as stubborn as you. I am not saying it is a bad thing, I am simply saying he needs to be more educated."

"Master Spiral is 'hitting on our Pac' apparently to their Cylindria."

"I can only deal with one of you for so long, but two? Kill me now why don't you."

"That is simply my display of affection my lord."

"The chip does not seem to be working, perhaps my system is refusing the sudden upgrade."

"I don't swear, don't pressure me into it Commander Betrayus."

"You are very attractive both ways, good and evil, however I wouldn't take someone who belongs to my variant, it is clear, I just so happen to know that for a fact."

"Yes Doctor?"

"I'm sorry Doctor."

"Doctor my non-existent braincells are dying, what does that mean? Teenagers and their language nowadays is confusing."

"Watch and learn like a student, not a critic."

"I am gay, yay.... Is that a good thing?"

"Is having romantic attraction to someone a disease?"

"I forbid you to leave."

"Farewell Pac Man. Make it home safe."

"I hate being a robot, that is true, but I hate the fact this was my second and only chance to live again even more."

"You are better than my Spiral for sure, you don't have to worry about it, you haven't lost anything young Spiral."

"Now that they're gone.. Doctor Silvers? What does gay mean? Is it a mental illness?"

"My lord, Ghost-v-Pac Spiral requested me to ask you if you can smack my ass like a drum."

"Don't call me Shadon anymore, my name is Specter. Specter the gay lightning ghost, apparently."

"Ah children, joyful demon spawns from hell coming in an adult life."

[ask-agent-rapzutin-vodello]

Donatella, why don't you tell us more about yourself? Where did you grow up? What were Mamma & Papà like? How did you meet Augustus? What were you doing before you joined the circus ? Sorry for all the questions, but I think we deserve to know more about la nostra mamma Circus numero uno.

[Donatella] Well, my children have been pestering me about finally answering this ...ask. Bah, all this feels too revealing, but Frazie has assured me this could be fun. Oh well, quando a Roma....

Well, it's actually funny, but I am actually from New York City, like Norma and Lizzie. I grew up in Little Italy. My grandparents on my mother's side came over from Sicily. My father's family had been in New York for generations, but he was the only one left when my mother met him.

My childhood ...had its fair share of sadness. My mother Francesca died a few years after my birth, by a heart disease. I don't remember too much about her, so all I have about her were stories my grandparents and father told me. Seems she and I were almost identical in personality and appearance, something I am very proud of. She was a professional ballerina, and she met my father Leo - short for Leonardo - going for drinks after a performance.

My father ...took to that drink too often after Mother died. He was a good man and a loving father, but the drink ...called him away from home more and more. One night, when I was a teenager, he just ...never came back. I suspect my grandparents knew what happened, but they never told me, but I can guess...

(Sigh) Anyway, I was raised by my grandparents - and most of my neighbourhood chipping in, and from an early age, my Nonna pushed me to become a ballerina like my mother, which I did. I enjoyed it well enough, but I always felt ...too grounded, tethered if you will.

And then, one day, the Circus came to town, and my grandparents took me to see it. To tell the truth, I was bored during most of the performance. Yes, some things were quite good, but nothing seemed to catch my eye. Until something did. (Giggles) Or should I say: someone.

It was the grand finale of the evening, and that meant it was time for the acrobats. The Flying Mother-Son Duo, Marona Aquato and ...(Deep loving sigh) Augustus.... And when I saw them - him - flying through the air, performing their acrobatics, it was like ...they were masters of the air. They moved so graciously, it was almost like dancing. Ballet in the air. I was instantly enamoured by the art ...as well as the very handsome young man that was performing that evening.

After the performance, I managed to convince my grandparents that I was going to visit a friend, but I actually snuck into the living area of the performers. I knew I shouldn't, but I didn't care, I just had to talk with him. I ...didn't get far. I got quickly caught by their 'security' - a big, BIG, muscle man with a giant moustache. Luckily, Augustus had seen me and managed to convince Big Moustache to let me pass, saying I was there to see him.

In hindsight, it's not surprising he knew why I was there.

We had a long, long and lovely talk, after which he introduded me to his mother, Marona - (long silence) Anyway, I went back a few nights in a row, often having to sneak out of the house. (Pause) (Deep sigh)

One night when I was sneaking back into the house after a date - because they were, despite the both of us just insisting we were 'hanging out' - with Augustus, I got caught, and we ended up having a big fight, which resulted... which resulted in Grandpa slapping me across the cheek and dragging me by the arm - nearly breaking it - back to my room, calling me all sorts of things and forbidding me from ever seeing Augustus or any of ...those words he said I won't repeat, ever again.

The following night, I packed my belongings and ...ran to the circus. I knew they were packing up to travel to another town and ...I couldn't stay home anymore. I just couldn't. I felt ...trappped, a prisoner in a life that was never going to be my own. So ...I ran. I ran right to Augustus and I begged Nona if I could stay.

And she said I could. From then on, I learned all I needed to know about being an acrobat, and I LOVED it. Soaring through the skies, bringing joy to dozens of people, seeing little kids smile and laugh at our performances.

(Loving sigh) I think you can guess what happened next. Me and Auggie got married, started a family, started our own family circus and ...everything else that happened, both good and bad.

(Pause) Last summer, when we went to New York, I visited my old neighbourhood. It seemed so much ...smaller than I remembered. Seems both of my grandparents passed away a few years after I ran away.

I wish I could say it brought me sadness but ...they never even tried to look for me, or contact me. (Pause) (Scoffs) Their fault they never wanted to be part of my family.

Still ...sometimes I wonder what could have happened if they did....

(Pause) I'm sorry, I think I'm going to end it here. This took a bit more out of me than I thought it would. I hope I answered your question.

If you were doing the ask game:

🍪 If you were a cookie, what kind would you be?

🐶 Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?

🙃 What’s a weird fact that you know?

Hmm... just because it's my favorite cookie, I'd have to say oatmeal chocolate chip! 🍪🩷

I'm an animal person! But if I have to choose, I'd say I'm more of a cat person (even tho I have a dog, who I absolutely love!)

(Picture of two of my fur-babbies because they're cute)

✨️ It's my time to shine! ✨️I am an encyclopedia of useless knowledge...

Some of these aren't really weird, but still sorta interesting.

I'm sure everyone knows that a group of crows is called a murder, but did you know a group of lemurs is called a conspiracy? And a group of porcupines is called a prickle!

People freak out over the amount of spiders they might accidently swallow in their sleep, but did you know that the FDA actually allows for insects and in some cases animal waste in the food we consume as long as it doesn't change the aesthetic.

Some people can actually hear the sound of their own eyeballs moving in their head. Supposedly, it sounds like scratching on sandpaper.

Hmm... I guess I'll add something about one of our ikevamp guys... Mozart...

He could speak at least 10 other languages other than his mother tongue. Some of which were English, French, Dutch, and Italian (so in the mansion, he shouldn't have any issues communicating.)

We often bring up the irl men's wives, but Theo's real life spouse wasn't the only one to help spread the work of her husband and brother-in-law. Mozart's wife, too. After he passed, she continued to promote his work. Her second husband helped her work on writing a biography on Mozart.

Mozart according to reports was actually a fairly small man. Only 5' 4" rather pale and thin. (This has made me personally wonder about his death/health.) No one is truly sure of what actually caused his death. There are speculations of it being a complication due to a vitamin D deficiency... brain hemorrhage... liver disease/failure... (and of course as we heard in game) possible poisoning.

Okay this got really long, i'mma stop here, sorry.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the working week although, for those of you in the NHS, welcome to just another day!

The weekend did NOT get off to a good start. As I was going to the recycling centre, The Trouble suggested I take the Christmas tree. It was difficult to argue with her. As she begin to remove her elaborate, 2022 Christmas tree design, I shed a few tears. My Christmas holiday is over. Back to life; back to reality. I’m sure those lyrics are meant to be positive words but, at that moment, I was like, “F*ck reality! Gimme Christmas all over again.” With hindsight, we REALLY got it right this year! The Christmas holiday ended-up being an action-packed and truly memorable four weeks. Getting the holiday right makes the new year even more promising!

Now comes the new, healthy regime! The Trouble, my son and I have changed a few things. People love coming to our house because it’s always full of goodies. Sorry, folks, no more! From now on, my weekly shop will NOT contain crisps, snacks, biscuits, chocolate and bread. That fact alone is BIG! And we will NOT be buying any more chips to accompany our evening meal. I’ve told them, “Salad, vegetables and fruit!” However, we’re not stupid. We’re not going to starve ourselves. We work hard and we need fuel, so we’ll be eating meals, just much healthier meals.

The next paragraph is a bit graphic so, if you’ve got a queasy stomach, skip it!

I don’t know if this refers to YOU or the person you live with but, when you pass wind, how does it smell? Is there someone in your abode that sits down for a Number Two and literally stinks out the house? With a healthy diet, you should NOT have to live in a toxic environment. If you do, your household is eating too much fast food, too much junk food and too much processed food. As you may or may not know, I’ve started substituting cups of coffee with Green Tea. It tastes horrible but one of the big benefits of Green Tea is that it cleans your gut! I’m sure you catch my drift.

On Sunday, The Trouble cooked-up a delicious, traditional Sunday dinner (salt fish fritters for starters, followed by rice & peas, stewed chicken, jerk chicken, macaroni cheese, plantain and roast potatoes) and we broke open two bottles of bubbly. And, yes, this was a CHEAT DAY! Despite the appalling weather conditions, our brilliant and beautiful guests enjoyed their meal and 2023 Dinner Party No. 2 went off well!

Social Media Update: Instagram is still overflowing with the most blatant scammers and hackers. No, I will NOT be following you. And it looks like Tumblr has contracted the same disease. Countless bogus accounts following me (literally) every day. No, I will NOT be following you. Go away!

Many thanks to everyone that listened to the show on Saturday afternoon, and many thanks to those that will listen to any part of it on Mixcloud. Della Duncan did a great job, didn’t she? This coming Saturday is The Letter L (Pt. 2). Executive Producer: pint-sized, power-packed Sharon Newton.

Have a marvellous and momentous Monday. I love you all.

my current fear foods and some safe foods + explanation

(!!!! I don't eat meat or any dairy products because I'm lactose intolerant)

bananas: so tasty and doesn't have too many calories (I don't eat under 700 cal) and it's also full of potassium!!

any type of bars or industrial snack: even if it's low in calories it's so bad, they have a lot of additives and other chemicals that keep the body full of inflammation

nuts: idk I never liked them, I feel like eating any type of nuts, almonds etc is a waste of calories because they taste like wood

pizza: it's so high in calories, also I try to never eat a full pizza because it's not good for the stomach, I usually eat half and then eat the other half the day after

peanut butter: I recently tried it (I'm not American so here it's not a common food) and it was so sticky and had SO MANY CALORIES OMGG like I tried once bread with pj and it was awful, all I could think about was all the calories that I was consuming

eggs (without the bacon): I love eggs they are a good search of protein and they are low cal, I love toast with egg on top!! so yummy and reminds me of that Ghibli movie (sorry I forgot the name in english)

brioche/croissant: tremendous tbh, so high in calories, in fats, not healthy at all (especially industrial ones)

cucumber sushi: it's so good and healthy and fresh, also has not a lot of calories! but I try to not consume it often because the vinegar and other things that are used to make the rice sticky are not very good for inflammation

sugar: it literally causes cancer wth

cakes: soooo full of sugar and additives even if you buy them from a bakery, they are def a once a year meal, it's so bad for you, and the vegan ones have like double the calories of the normal ones

Starbucks thing? whatever: I never had Starbucks and I never will, it's so high in sugar and additives (and it's so expensive like wth just drink water) also I don't trust people with making my thing to drink

dark chocolate: if you eat a small piece of it quite often it's actually good for your heart and other cardiac things! also it helps me to prevent binges, and it doesn't have that many bad things in it

hamburger: lol I had only one hamburger in my entire life and it was when I was 7, it's just not good. like, I get making a similar sandwich at home, but buying an hamburger from McDonald's or smt? crazy, that's exactly why people are obese

pringles: they are SO FULL of chemicals and salt, they are so bad for health in general 😭 I'd rather have normal chips (where here the ingredients are just potatoes, salt, and usually seeds oil) but I prefer to avoid chips because first of all they are full of salt, and second they trigger my binges

toast: it's not a fear food but it's not even a safe food, I can eat it sometimes, it's okay, I mean it's just toast

cheese: any kind of dairy products it's so bad for humans, even my nutritionist explained to me that we are not supposed to eat dairy because milk it's supposed to be for babies (of that spieces), it also causes acne and other stuff that I don't want.

oh and also I try to avoid vegan cheese but just because it's very high in calories.

olive oil: healthy fat!! very good for lots of reasons, honestly I just cook with it (without frying things obv), I don't really add it to my usual meals but it's pretty okay

pasta: it used to be a fear food but now I tolerate it, ofc I try to avoid it because it still is a defined carb

meat: If you want to die of cancer or other terrible diseases, eat red meat. it's so bad for the body, even white meat.

smoothies: I love smoothies that I make at home, they are so yummy and they make me feel good afterwards, also they are great when doing liquid fasts 💚

sushi? cat thing?: same as the cucumber sushi, it's good but I try to avoid it.

m&ms: sweets in general are like so bad for you, so full of additives, chemicals, refined sugar, horrible for the body. and also they cause sugar addiction.

fries: they are literally fried potatoes, any type of fried food it's not good

tomato soup: here we don't have tomato soup but sometimes I make it with tomato sauce (basically the same thing) and it's good, low cal too! but I try to not eat it too often because tomatoes give me terrible acid reflux

cookies: same as the m&ms, also they trigger my binges so bad

The Amazon Haul

Trigger warning: Ransom and you ordering items from Amazon, funny couple stuff, mentions of a chronic illness, fluff

Summary: You and Ransom Drysdale order from Amazon, but a cute argument ensues over your purchase when Ransom wanted to buy it for you.

I justify all of my Amazon purchases as retail therapy.

You and Ransom are engaged, and are living together.

Ransom's birthday is coming up. He has been looking Amazon, and marking off items that he wants on his wish list. He doesn't justify the expense of the items. He's the trust fund playboy, and you don't think anything of it. Since when has money been an object for him?

A few days later, you are ordering your favorite sneakers off of Amazon because you need a new pair. You order them, and a few other things, too. You even order that book you have you're eye on. You pay the bill, and you don't have to pay for shipping because the amount exceeded $25 dollars.

A few days later, your package arrives. Ransom sees the shoes, and is a little crestfallen. He wanted to get you the shoes for your birthday, but you justified your purchase as retail therapy.

"Sweetheart, I wanted to get you your shoes for your birthday. I know you love those shoes. Why can't you let me get you something every once in a while?" says Ransom.

"Ransom, I needed the retail therapy. Plus, I really need the shoes. I also needed the book and I also needed the necklace and the earrings," you say.

"Sweetheart, let me buy a few things for you. I like doing things for you, it makes me feel good," says Ransom.

"What? I thought you liked me being independent," you say.

"I do, sweetheart. But that's not the point. Just let me buy a few things for you, you do so much. I love you so much," says Ransom, giving you a loving kiss.

"You bought me the dress and shoes for the fundraiser," you say.

"I know, why couldn't you just let me buy you the shoes that you like? You go through so much and you're making so much progress I'm proud of you," says Ransom.

You crash your lips onto Ransom's and give him a loving kiss.

A few hours later, Ransom is fixing lunch for the both of you. He's making the both of you tuna salad sandwiches, and he serves them with some chips. He even puts some of those cookies that you both like on the side.

"Ransom, I'm sorry I got into an argument with you. It was a stupid argument", you say.

You both laugh over the absurdity of your argument. You often feel guilty at times with your days revolving around your PT, OT, and your doctors. Having MS is no picnic at times, but you are staying positive, and are making progress, even though your disease has progressed. You found out that your disease has progressed when your neurologist was looking at your symptoms, and your PDOC confirmed it. Your pain management specialist was working out a regimen for you with your PT and your OT. They were working on a regimen so that you could do your PT and OT exercises at home.

"Sweetheart, don't be sorry. We're going to have some stupid arguments over the course of our marriage. I realize that our earlier argument is silly," says Ransom.

Both you and Ransom realize that in relationships and in marriage, you both would have silly arguments over petty things. This was nothing to break up over, it wasn't like one or the both of was cheating on each other, or have an addiction problem that needed to be addressed. The argument over Amazon and money was just petty.

You were used to being independent, so you didn't think anything of it. You didn't even think you'd be in a long term relationship. You used to your self-reliance and your independence.

Having a fiance and being in a relationship was something that Ransom wasn't used to. He was getting used to it, and he was learning. He was putting your needs ahead of his, and he loved having someone to take care of.

A few weeks later, you order Ransom a really cool, leather bound journal and a fountain pen from Amazon. He orders you your favorite shoes in a different color, and he even orders you some fancy yarn and a knitting book.

You knit Ransom a cable knit sweater. It took you a while to make it, but it was something that you could work on while Ransom watched the History Channel, or any of the movies that he liked, but you didn't. You would often go into your craft room, and just work on the sweater and put on podcast or an audiobook, and work on his sweater.

You make him a new cable knit sweater because his old one is full of holes, and has seen better days. You understand that Ransom can't get rid of it, but Ransom loves the one you made him.

Now Ransom wants you to make him another sweater "when you have the time", he says.

You don't know when you'll work on another sweater for Ransom, but you find a pattern that is based on his gray sweater and his maroon sweater.

You go to bed and Ransom gives you a loving kiss. You wake up, and kiss Ransom on his cheek the next morning. You decide to let him sleep, and you smile. You and Ransom got through your argument yesterday, and Ransom felt like he could take on the world with you.

He had you to thank for everything. Ransom was a man in love, and you were a woman in love. At the end of the day, silly arguments were just that, silly arguments. Those silly arguments made you laugh at the absurdity of them later.

Ransom wakes up, and is lying there next to you.

"I love you. You are perfect to me, MS and all, silly arguments and all," says Ransom.

"I love you, too Ransom. You are perfect to me, you will always be my sweet boy, silly arguments and all", you say.

Ransom gets up, gets on your side of the bed, and sits next to you. He places your cane in front of you. He helps you up, and stands behind you, grabbing onto your hips. He kisses you on the top of your head while you both wait for the feeling of falling over or fainting to pass. When it does, Ransom helps you to the bathroom.

You brush your teeth, wash your face, and you both shower together. You are holding onto his torso lovingly, and you both kiss in the shower. This leads to something more in the shower, and then you are both kissing wrapped in towels.

You two didn't break up over a silly argument. Instead, you two just saw how silly it really was yesterday. Today was a new day, and you two were going to go and conquer it, just like any other day. You both go for a morning walk, and hold hands during the process. You both come back, and Ransom pulls out the Beemer. He loads you in, and gives you your cane. Ransom has a surprise for you, and you have one for him. Yours can wait when you both get home. You didn't have PT or OT today, on account of it's Sunday.

Ransom has taken you to your favorite diner, and you both order some breakfast. He then takes you on yet another drive, and you both get clam chowder for lunch. For dinner, you both go to your favorite Mexican place. You had no idea Ransom had planned this, and he wanted to do this for you.

"Thank you, Ransom. My sweet boy", you say, giving him a loving kiss.

You give Random the sweater that you've made him. He loves it.

"Sweetheart, I love it! This is just like my old one, but it's so much better. It's so warm and cozy and comfy,"says Ransom as he puts it on.

A few months later, you give Ransom both sweaters that you made him. It's Valentine's day, and Ransom got you a stuffed teddy bear that says Happy Valentine's Day. The bear is holding a rose, and the bear says "I love you" when you press it's right paw.

"I love you, too, sweet boy", you tell Ransom. You can't resist his puppy dog look. It's too cute and so sweet.
