Bee adopting the twinyards when they are toddlers so they both grow up in a healthy environment and the only times she needs to worry about them is when they grow a bit older and the house is suspiciously silent for a suspiciously long amount of time

just enough salt to fill the cellar

getting just enough of something feels like a kind of faith that i will be able to find more of what i need when the time comes. maybe this is what it means for me most of the time. something about trusting myself in a material way in the face of uncertainty

it feels like a kind of protest against the hoarding impulse at the heart of this system. i am resisting, in the language of the system, the overconsumption that defines and sustains it

but sometimes when i get just enough and no more i know it is a lack of faith in the future itself. an expression of doubt, measured in cups and ounces, that there will be enough time left to use even this amount, never mind bothering to get any more

The Whumper knows exactly where Whumpee is hiding, but they pretend they have no idea.

The thrill of the chase is half the fun, to catch Whumpee scrambling from one place to another out of the corner of their eye, to see the traces left behind in the form of open vents and bloody smears that create the perfect path to them. Whumper always makes sure to linger just in front of where they've tucked themself away, calling out to them, checking every nook and cranny except the one they know contains Whumpee.

And as soon as they leave, as soon as Whumpee dashes out of the compromised room for a new hiding spot, the hunt is on again to be as prolonged as Whumper desires.

Seven Sentence Sunday

Tagged by the brilliant @loki-is-my-kink-awakening, thank you! 💚 I'm trying to get better at doing these - they definitely help with WIP inspiration (and as a reminder of the truly ridiculous number of WIPs in my drafts folder).

A snippet from an angsty timeslipping fic:

“Nearly there,” Mobius promised, tightening his grip on Loki’s arm. “Where are we going, exactly?” “You’ll see. Just trust me, ok?” After several more twists and turns Mobius ushered him into what looked like an abandoned office turned glorified store cupboard. The limited space was almost entirely taken up by a large desk shoved against the far wall, piled high with an assortment of broken and discarded office supplies. One of the ceiling panels was hanging loose, disgorging a writhing mass of multicoloured electrical wires; there was something unsettling about the sight, almost grotesque, as though the TVA’s pristine façade had been stripped away, leaving the entrails open and exposed.

Tagging @insert-witty-user-name-here @dewdropreader @blackbirdofasgard @mirilyawrites @starport-seven-five, if you'd like to (for now or next week) 💕

Got my test tubes at last :]

[hershelwidget]

I really wanted to remember how to play Uno but I had nobody to play with so I set up a thing using six of my plushies. I made drawings of the event because Sun/Moon, BoTW Link, Jack Skellington, a panda, a rainbow sheep, and a Shiny Mimikyu playing Uno together was the FUNNIEST bit I have ever committed to.

The drawings! Actual images of the scene under the cut :3

Half of the game was everyone bullying the rainbow lamb and the other half was bullying Jack but the bits where they hurt the lamb were CONSIDERABLY funnier because I was able to use voices for them at the beginning. This poor girl was SOBBING

Honourable mentions for parts I didn't draw go to this one point where EVERYONE had said Uno EXCEPT for the lamb, a bit where Jack and the panda had teamed up for a single round and then the panda said "fuck it" and kept on blocking Jack's turns, and perhaps my FAVOURITE bit of them all: The Staring at each other that lasted the whole game.

Ok now og pics!

This was a very interesting experience! I really wanna try this again with other games, so let me know what games you’d like to see these guys play next!

[marigoldthegamer]

Guys.

GUYS.

GUYS.

I just finished Kaneshiro's whole place in ONE DAY. (minus the mandatory visits)

Just.. LOOK.

I feel so fucking proud of this. Like. I needed to tell someone about this.

Also:

I'm playing the Royal version of the game.

I have the camera strap equipped on all party members.

I was already seriously over-levelled before I started the palace (we're talking like level 27 before I even entered).

And finally, I have been hoarding items since the start of the game, lmao.

[judesstfrancis]

nobody asked but I think eddie and wayne play board games together when they both have a night off. I think they'll put on a record they both like and play go fish or something for an hour or two after dinner. u can't tell me I'm wrong bc I won't listen

Exhibit of Sorrows is a really good game do you want to get emotionally attached to some cute lil clown guys without even meaning to look at my guy Mr Floaty

[ID: A pedastal in a colourful environment. On it is a round clown doll with a smiling face, wearing a blue suit with yellow stars, a matching hat, and red shoes. He is attached via a tube to a pump, and is floating in the air. End ID]

i get how it might seem like a good idea to put a tarp over the hole in the ceiling but i can’t get the image of the plumbers peeling it off and a gazillion spiders fall from it like balloons in a game show and then they scatter like they’re in an indiana jones movie i’m so sorry to disturb you with this information 😭

I CHANGED MY MIND THE TARP IS A TERRIBLE IDEA

More of the untitled 100 Cupboards Monmouth backstory fic please

thank you!

"Questions already?" said Monmouth, but there was less heat in it. "It was, as it happens. Haven't had one for a while. I was starting to think I was over it." He blew out a short breath and leaned back against the rocky wall, staring out at the cave mouth. "How much did you see?" "All of it, I think," Henry admitted. "I was...in the ceiling, sort of, right up until you threw me out. How did you do that, anyway?" "I'll show you sometime," said Monmouth absently. "Not now. Gives me a headache."
