ok so as someone still relatively new to TWST (and someone just taking the events as they come to EN instead of keeping up with the JP side) and as a Jack Howl simp

I am of the (CORRECT) opinion that he should absolutely get an Applepom look because... fwuffy. and hat with ear holes. and he'd be SO insistent that he's used to the cold and doesn't need it but he will take it once it's insisted on because he's polite and won't refuse Gramma Felmier

Also I think a fun twist on the "someone's sled breaks and their plushie tears so they have to come up with another idea" bit from the other event is that Jack goes wolf mode to pull the sled (because as said in his starsending wish he pulls sleds back at home on breaks to try and get faster as a wolf!)

I'm biased though because I need more Jacc in my life

Thoughts?

thank you anon for bringing the mental image of harveston Jack into my life. he would be SO fluffy...so warm...he would haul so many apples...

also while I love the imagery of him pulling the sled, I feel like that would probably get them insta-disqualified. :( unless they can somehow 1) convince the judges that this enormous talking wolf is actually a very well-made plush, and 2) get Jack to go along with it (I do think Jack would instantly respect Marja as being more alpha or whatever and would have to, like, choose between his sense of JUSTICE, or going along with cheating at this sporting event so an authority figure doesn't get mad at him) (...wait this is just the plot of episode 2 again) (DANGIT)

I have so much to say about ajax and rayko after the stuff today—

but first off: [spoiler warning for eod lore bits on 9/7]

i fucking love the idea that Icarixis is just sitting in the world port watching all of it happen, and when rayko goes through the rift Icarixis just like- *pauses the sitcom they’ve been watching*

and just pulls rayko into the worldport like “BRO WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT?? YOU LEAVING YOUR BROTHER?? DA FUCK??” 🤨

and then by the end of it is like “fine okay yeah go back to your partners, that does still fix the problem of you being here…” 🙄

and i love that for them

Postrdrome is such a mother fucker. It's like, congratulations, you were in agony for the last 33 hours. Time for Additional Crushing Depression.

Like c'mon man. I'm already holding it together by the skin of my teeth. I don't need my brain dropping a Molotov cocktail into what is already a dumpster fire.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame - Marc Spector

Marc Spector + Tailgate + Grabbing by the hips

Fall Fluff Masterlist | Marc Masterlist | Main Masterlist

PSA: I have never been to Chicago. More of a Boston girl for travel and I live in the south. So we all have to use our imaginations here. Go Braves and Go Red Sox and don't hit me.

Word count: 386 || for @i-still-dont-like-your-face (I added a prompt, hope it's ok)

It started with that old red truck.

Sunday morning trips to the hardware store.

Midnight picnics under the stars.

But tailgating? It seemed so...social, for Marc.

Sure, you had friends. Life in the midwestern United States was altogether different from London. But it had seemed important to Marc, to come back. To try.

He needed you to know this part of him.

So, a house meant a neighborhood. Which meant neighbors, who eventually became friends.

The first time Marc took you to a Cubs game was pure magic. Wrigley Field may as well have been his own personal Disneyland. His transformation into a bright-eyed child, with every pipe organ tune or crack of the bat, made your heart swell with love.

Marc was quite good on the grill and his kosher pre-game cuisine was becoming popular amongst friends and neighbors.

You would hang back and watch him sometimes, humming to himself. He still maintained a private bubble, even in a crowd, but when he hummed, you knew he was comfortable.

A life out of the service of an ancient deity was a good look on him.

��Sweetheart, can you watch the grill for me? I gotta get something out of the truck.”

You smile playfully, taking the spatula from his hand. “Mr. Spector, you trust me to man your meat?”

‘You know it.” He winks, swatting your backside. Yanking his Cubs cap off his head, he plops it on yours playfully, raking his hand through his messy curls. “Hold that for me.”

You pick up on the tune he started, humming to yourself as you flip the burgers.

After a few minutes, you feel strong hands grab your hips from behind, squeezing possessively. “Hey baby,” he breathes on your ear.

“Mmm, hey.” You turn your head to meet an incoming kiss which he indulges in a moment too long for a neighborly gathering. “Want your hat back?”

“Nope, looks better on you. I’ll take the spatula though before you burn everything.”

“I did no such thing,” you pout, but you can see he’s teasing.

“Hey, Spector, you two grilling or you need some time alone?” Your neighbor Glen teases.

Passing him the spatula, Marc playfully grabs your hips again. “Definitely time alone. We’ll be in the truck,” he jokes, pressing a kiss to your giggling lips.

the reason why red team wins isn’t because they submit tasks last minute. that isn’t even the biggest part of their strategy, so let me tell you what red is doing to win:

delegating tasks: each member has spent most of their time collecting whatever resource the team needs. they work together to come up with specific goals (eg. enchantment table, mining iron, getting string) and then send specific people out to do that task, usually whoever’s free at the moment

helping each other: they would all drop everything at a moment’s notice to help a teammate in trouble

sharing resources: red team shares literally everything they own. most notably, bings and personal quest items

personal tasks: they all help each other out to finish these, and they make sure everyone active gets them done. i think a good chunk of their points come from this category actually, since the other teams don’t seem to prioritize it as much

not seeking fights: ok sure, they’ve gotten in a decent amount of fights, but usually the fight comes to them. they aren’t spending their time searching for people to kill, rather most of their kills have been from running into others in the wild or at spawn (foolish did spend time looking for tina today, but that was mostly looking for blue base as a strategic point)

using time wisely: to kind of add onto the point above, they aren’t spending all their time walking thousands of blocks to others’ bases. they also are very communicative about how much time they have left and what to use it for. they’ll ask how they can help the team with their last ten minutes, for instance

communicating: red team spends almost their entire time on the server in a vc together. I know this isn’t exactly every creator’s thing, but they could still type in chat if they didn’t want to talk. red team have even been leaving discord messages to their teammates to tell them info when they’re not online!

varying their points: i think this is the most important thing tbh. instead of only focusing on tasks or kills, etc. they do a little bit of every. they make sure to do well in every possible point category

being silly: it’s the best part!! the silliness boosts team morale

seriously though, the red team doesn’t just sweep the win at the last minute. if that was true then they wouldn’t log in until the last ten minutes. all the active members spend their 5 hours (or however long they’re playing that day) working on gathering materials and being useful for the team. the only advantage they have from being online later is they know how many points they need to get to catch up. so they can sort of measure how many kills or resources they’d need, etc. but knowing what they need doesn’t guarantee they’ll get it. the red team puts a lot of hard work into their wins it’s not just a cheap sweep. they are clever, resourceful, and strategic

absolutely horrible profiting from death and war.

russian realtors walk around Mariupol (the Ukrainian city destroyed by the russians) showing "affordable" apartments to clients from russia.

update: video added

just think about it. russians invaded the territory of Ukraine. with tanks, heavy artillery, rockets and infantry. invaded the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

completely destroyed it and killed the inhabitants, whose bodies still lie buried under the windows of their houses and in the middle of the streets. some days during periods of heavy russian shelling, up to 150 people a day were buried in mass graves.

the russians killed whole families and then brought other russians to their homes for settlement. in apartments where the devastation caused by the russians and the personal things of the murdered Ukrainians are still visible.

they came to foreign territory, killed the local people and settled in their houses. these are non-humans. terrorists. occupiers.

how can the civilized modern world watch this barbarism and continue to cooperate with russians, listen to russian music, watch russian films, enjoy russian art and tolerate russians in everyday life? russians are a bloodthirsty nation. half of them come and kill, and the other half profit from it, come after and steal the belongings of the killed, steal their homes, their future, their lives.

I don't have enough words. only anger, only pain for my country and my people. please don't stop supporting Ukraine.
