#that man is dramatic af

[yourfriendlygryffindor]

Regulus, the morning after Cowboy Like Me was played on the eras tour, in boxers, a t-shirt, socks, and a cowboy hat, dramatically singing Cowboy Like Me in his empty flat while James is at work.

That’s it.

Fred: Has anyone ever told you that you're a little dramatic?

Percy, offended: "A little"?

May 10th marks the one year anniversary of...

The day I fell in love with this peculiar individual. Let me explain...

See one day I was just lying up in bed watching YouTube and minding my business. That's when this video popped up in my feed

Now mind you around this time I was kinda dipping my toes into KISS and the fandom in general. I was vaguely familiar with the members of the band. I was like "Oh yeah that's Gene, right? That's the guy who pukes up blood and sticks his tongue out."

I watched it. And something about Gene's eyes in that video put a terrible spell on me(And that's when the trouble started I think 🤣). And then I was like "Yeah I'll watch some more. Why not?"

I think this was the first time I had heard Gene's "Demon" voice and I immediately melted into a fangirly little puddle when I heard him speak. Every "Oh yeah?!" a Cupid's arrow in my own heart.

Also that one part where he just stops playing his bass and he slowly looks around at the audience while he's just COATED in all that fake blood 🫣😖🥵

But that wasn't enough. Now I knew of Gene "The Demon" Simmons' existence, I needed to know more. I needed more!

So I took to Google and YouTube. I saw what he looked like in 1983 when they took off the makeup and I was like "Wow! So that's what you were hiding from us till then?! You should've took the makeup off sooner!"

I saw what he looked like in the 90s during KISS's Revenge era. I've said it before but at first I didn't care much for the band's look during this time. But I thought Gene still looked daddy af(Just as I do now lol).

I saw some clips from Gene Simmons: Family Jewels and I watched and read some interviews, etc. Moment by moment, second by second, I was falling for this strange old man.

And then I said to myself "I gotta look at the fanfiction in this fandom."

I got onto AO3 and looked through the Gene Simmons/Reader tag. I read "The Man With The Smoldering Eyes"(I absolutely adore Hillsofuhhhtennessee's portrayal of Gene/Demon in all of her fics actually.). I read "Dolls". I read "Great Expectations". By the time I was done, Gene was already living rent free in my brain.

And now here we are. Looking back, I wonder if it was ever possible for me to resist his devilish charms?

Then again, I would've never met any of you wonderful people, my mutuals!

Screaming nauseously into the void

So, for the past ten months I've had a Mystery Problem Syndrome (MPS) -- unpredictable hours to months of nausea, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, weird muscle things, a dangerous amount of weight loss, all that fun stuff. The working hypothesis from my GI is that it's an autoimmune thing triggered by a viral infection in my intestines that may or may not be temporary on the scale of a year or two, but we haven't been able to totally confirm that's what it is or whether it's going to be a year-long thing or a many-years thing or a forever thing. It's not always clear what's triggering the big flare-ups, but stress is a contributing factor. This is a problem firstly because I'm a PhD student who has always run a little anxious in the way that some ovens run a little hot and secondly because my body cannot tell the difference between stress and excitement.

In practical terms, this means that I've zombied my way through work for about five total months since January, have barely left my town all year even for just little day trips, paused a lot of my big plans like getting more intensive therapy to deal with my driving anxiety, and have had lots of little "fun" moments like barely being able to present my work at a big conference, running out of my roommate's big opera performance to throw up in a trash can in the hall, and spending about two months being unable to even take consistent notes during D&D and not really being able to enjoy it or any of my other hobbies. This was all no good, obviously, but to really add insult to injury, I might have triggered a full-on flare-up by... (drumroll, please)...

Buying groceries for my Halloween party!

Not even throwing the party. Not even drinking too much or eating forbidden foods at the party.

Buying groceries for the party. At the same grocery store I always buy groceries at.

I got too excited while passively noodling about desserts and decorations and how I wanted to arrange the cheeseboard and whether blackberries would be good in sangria.

And have been unable to keep food down since.

I hope I'm miraculously cured by the party itself because I'm going to have a hard time convincing anyone to eat my food (I'm definitely not contagious anymore! I cleared the actual infection in January!) if I'm this noticeably sick during it.

Also I was looking forward to it a lot and a good dozen of my friends are gonna be there and :(

Apparently, I can't look forward to things anymore! I should just sit in a quiet room and contemplate the grass as it grows, careful to maintain complete emotional neutrality.

One of my ocs is so feral. The boy literally has a tendency to rip training dummies apart for fun and partake in underage drinking on an almost nightly basis. His excuse you ask?

“I have to put up with you heathens so I should get a nightly reward hence the wine bottle in my hand. Blaze, be a doll and hand me that shot of tequila. I have a feeling I’m going to need it tonight.”

He is like the sassy, wine aunt that talks shit about everyone, but also he’s absolutely feral and it shows.

(Yes, this is Ryn. The one that showed up in my tags a little while ago.)

Excessive Baggage has been lacking in juicy baggage lately. But especially Finn’s. Like you are upset he called someone else he hadn’t met before hot? And he is single. Is he never to acknowledge anyone ever!

Like why is Kat mad or hurt??? That’s like if I had a man, and I was upset he found/said Meg the Stallion was the hottest bitch there is (which is facts) but know it’s giving grasping at straws. 🥴🥴

[tommygettingwrittenoff]

i need eddie to get another guy friend in season 8, and buck loses his shit about it (again), so he breaks up with t because he's convinced that the weird feeling he gets when he sees them together is because he is Really attracted to the new guy.

i drove my dad to the airport a little fast ONE TIME and now he's acting like i'm part of the fast & furious franchise every time i'm about to take the car 💀

AU on hold, yet again.

AU's on hold again unfortunately due to uh.. the only source of art I had died. Aka my phone fell out of my pocket and was ran over by a wheel from a car. WELP, I NEEDED A NEW ONE ANYWAY- ig, since the phone's headset jack place wouldn't register when I had wired earbuds plugged in. I'm hoping bloopers from T'sR Pt3 is still on the editing thing I use, but here we are. Sorry about this- Ironically the thing I used it tlast for was taking pictures of roses right before it's 'death,' so literally, it was death by roses lmfao I'll let ya know when the AU's back up!

34 or 35 Gency?

34. Things you said in your sleep

Genji: *muttering in his sleep* Kore o shinaide kudasai--Hanzo--yamete—

Mercy: *watching him* ...

Genji: Itai--tasukete--tasukete--tas--

Mercy: *touches his shoulder*

Genji: *flinches awake, panting slightly*

Genji: *getting his breathing under control*...I was doing it again, wasn't I?

Mercy: *wraps her arms around him*

Genji: *muffled into her shoulder* I'm sorry.

Mercy: Don't worry about that.

Genji: ...the sheets are all sweaty now.

Mercy: I don't care.

Playing thru last specter actually made me angry at myself for liking Descole as a character for like. Five minutes.

[flowachild]

anyway I saw this man that tried to play me last year to the point that I cried and he came up to hug me while he was with his friends and I gave him the nastiest look 😭

[mimzy6bunny]
