re: the mythicalsausage appreciation post HI!!!!! how's it going my man

HIIII!

Oh, it's going great! You know, trying to cope with the end of season 2, thinking of rewatching season 1 again like a masochist

Always glad to browse through the Empires SMP tag and see some good Mythical J Sausage. My guy is brainrot personified.

ermmm jj and face fucking ? 😁

MINORS DNI 18+ WARNINGS: f!reader | reader has hair that swings in a ponytail and is a kook | situationship w jj | hair pulling | oral (m receiving) NOTES: tbh i was having trouble imagining jj face fucking but i gave it my best shot and i like what i came up with | based on dwight’s interaction with angela in the office during the rabies fun run

JJ MAYBANK out with the crew when he spots you. It doesn’t take long before the others follow the source his eyes are glued on. You’re out for a jog, wearing your work-out clothes that accentuate your shape, ponytail swinging with each stride. JJ moistens and draws his bottom lip between his teeth as he watches, waiting for you to get closer while his friends jeer at him immaturely. John B pats him hard on the back, “Go, man, before she gets away.” he encourages, pushing at JJ to get him in gear.

“I’m goin’, I’m goin’.” he replies, and he hangs his head with a shake at the chorus of the crew yipping and hollering. Chasing you, he’ll admit he gets a good view of your behind. So he idles for a second to watch how your ass jiggles with each sway, and he ignores the creeping urge to tap your backside when he approaches you. He gets in a jogging stance to blend in with you, slowing his pace when he reaches your side to fall into step with you. “Howdy there, kook.”

You playfully roll your eyes with a scoff. “Hey, JJ.” you relent in a musical pant, refusing to look at him because you know he’s trying to make fun of you. You can tell in the way he holds himself, how he swings his arms, it’s an exaggerated version of what you’re doing as you run.

“You look cute as a button. Worked up quite a sweat.” he flirts, advancing into you, and you absorb his coy bump. You can feel how his gaze burns you, stuck on how your sweat drips down your neck into the valley of your cleavage. Briefly he imagines licking it off.

“Thanks, JJ.” you tell him, in the same melody as before. He butters you up a lot, you know what he’s here for. “What do you want?” you ask curiously.

“Look, there’s a little thing back at the Chateau tonight. You should, uh,” He sniffs, and swipes his nose with his knuckle, glancing away. It takes him a fraction of a second to gather the courage to invite you normally. How was a situationship supposed to act in this situation, he didn’t know. “you should come.”

You pull your lips to one side in thought. “I dun-no, Jayj, I’m supposed to meet someone tonight.” You keep your voice light and sing-songy, letting him know you’re not rejecting him, just teasing him with the prospect you might not be able to make it.

“Hey, no skin off my back.” he replies, suspending his flat hands in the air in surrender. He drops them. “You’ll just have to promise I get to wrap that pretty ponytail ‘round my palm tomorrow night.” It’s said so casually, it finally earns him a proper look from you.

You do end up going, you do end up drinking, and you do end up right where he wants you. Nestled between his legs. Rope of hair wound in his fist. “Didn’t think you’d end up back here, huh? Thought you’d be rid of me?” He’s spitballing, but there’s a twinge of sincerity, as if a pretty kook like you wouldn’t waste your time with him. He guides your head up and down, his grip on your hair stinging your scalp but you don’t mind. You like it. Sweet whimpers expel from your mouth every time your throat isn’t stuffed by the head of his cock nudging it’s way in there.

Your tongue swipes at the underside of his dick, lining the lip of his tip as it pulls out, only to be buried back in when he yanks you to his crotch by your hair. Like a leash, it leads you as he uses you to get himself off.

every time you post pornstar!Eddie I feel like that picture of the wolf tearing his shirt open

if I didn't have a fear of being perceived and also digital footprint I'd be in your comments posting that image 0.2 seconds after you hit the publish button

but since I am and tumblr won't let me send images from anon, just know that I am thinking that picture so hard hoping the vibes go through my little device and to you <3

WAIT ALSO

I have a lore questions

What do they do outside of the porn stuff? Like they can't be doing that 24/7 but what are reader's hobbies? Also will Eddie be using more of his masseuse skills (reader probably needs it in their shoulders from nights spent hunched over the editing software)??

Also what about interactions that are outside of the porn realm? Do they get coffee? Do they stumble upon each other at the store? Can Eddie even go to the store as porn's new hot star or does he have to go in disguise? What's it like without all the cameras and the moans and the nakedness? Is it more vulnerable with their clothes on??

I know there's still more content to come but I really want to just dive head first in and swim through all the details and longing. no more dragging out the plot!! I'm slobbering against the glass. let me in please. I promise I don't have rabies :D ignore the foaming at the mouth I'm just excited!

I’m so glad you like them, bubs! And ohhhhhhhh my gosh so many good questions! You gave me lots and lots to think about the last few days…

I’ve not thought too much about the lore of this story because it started as a horny drabble, BUT I’ll throw some too many thoughts under the cut.

I think at least in the beginning, there was not much outside of work that R had time for.

In my head, you were kind of carrying out every task on your own cos you just really wanted this new endeavor to work. It’s not that you “hated” porn, you just always had felt like you were more suited to being behind the camera and you finally had the opportunity to prove your mettle.

So it wasn’t 24/7, but it took up a fair amount of your time and didn’t leave room for much else.

And I think the basis of your connection with Eddie was in your working relationship, so most of the things you do together would be work stuff. He absolutely offered massages and you initially turned them down, not wanting to cross any boundaries or blur any lines (nice try).

But after one particularly long editing session… it’s just too good an offer to pass up. Plus, it led to him telling you about massage school, and...

Well, we know how that turned out.

I would also like to think R is a big movie buff. Sort of like a less-annoying Dawson Leery where you made movies with a shitty camcorder in your backyard and just really enjoyed the idea of bringing an idea in your head to life.

Definitely a very creative/imaginative type.

And I feel like you got into the porn industry thinking ‘I can do this for money and then work on my stuff in my down time’ and eventually got to a point where you were just phoning it in, and you weren’t working on anything, just kind of going through the motions. A little lost.

Then Eddie shows up and he becomes your muse and collaborator all in one neat and tidy package. You feel inspired again and you get this urge to Create that you haven't felt in a long time.

Outside of work, you are definitely friends. But I think Eddie had to do a lot of coaxing to get you to ease up on work. Once you start generating some buzz and revenue for the studio and start getting more funding/crew etc, Eddie is the one who has to remind you that you don't have to do everything anymore and you can (and need) to take time for yourself once in a while.

With him, if you want 🙃

I could see you two walking around a museum or art installation and talking about the pieces and getting into long debates about them. I don't see Eddie as a big ArT gUY, but I think he likes looking at the things you look at and trying to see them through your eyes. I think he's just fascinated by your mind and your vision and that's one way he's able to somewhat experience it.

And it’s during these moments away from all the lights and the cameras and the grunting and the moaning and the squishy noises that he feels so much more intimate with you. Because neither one of you is being your Work Self.

Eddie also feels 1000% more vulnerable with his clothes on. For someone who is naked for a living, he feels so much more exposed when he reveals something about his personality like a band he likes via a t-shirt or something like that.

He's still carrying around that Hawkins-induced shame about being a "freak" for the kind of music he likes or being ostracized for his hobbies. And I think there will always be a part of him that fears the judgement of that side of himself.

And for you, seeing him in clothes feels almost more intimate than seeing him naked? Because when he's naked, he's working, he's got his game face on, his bareness is like armor almost. When he is in his regular clothes, he doesn't have those walls up anymore and you feel like you're seeing the real him. That's not Eddie Munson, Pornstar.

That's just...Eddie.

for your viewing pleasure

hiya, back with an arcanist query here.

the jessica trailer got me wondering, just how big is the suitcase crew so far? it seems by the time the green lake folks are recruited, we already have matilda, x, and eagle around. there are also voicelines from other characters implying theyre already in, like zima ("there are not many poems... like the orange one says") and mesmer jr ("...the girl with the potions..."), although they couldve been recruited at any point in time. it just gets me so curious who joined when! 😄 at least i want to know how much it's grown since green lake but we can only speculate. this also feeds into my desire to see the other arcanists get involved in the story, main or otherwise.

like you said with the jessica posts, vertin provides the arcanists with a new path, one outside MV or the Foundation. so another curiousity of mine is how she recruited the others i.e. their motivations for joining her!

My theory is bluepoch just gave us a lot of characters to play from the start with but there is probably a canonical meeting for them (at least I really hope so) that we'll get through events and main story. That being said, I wonder if the people we already know will have an official event where they move in. For example, Matilda storywise is still working at SPDM but maybe she'll get assigned to Vertin's department? Or perhaps she'll be someone who stays in the Suitcase for certain cooperative missions? Ngl I want french ducky to make official appearances in the Suitcase.

If I had to list people currently living in the Suitcase as of right now cannonically, I think it'd be:

Vertin, Sonetto, Regulus, Sotheby, Druvis, Jessica after her Discipline training, Apple, and Horrorpedia. Blonney might join after she graduates from college or when she misses her bambi lol

The list will grow as we see Vertin recruiting. This game is different from others I've played in that we see the start of the crew. Usually there is an established guild or something but we see in real time Vertin's army expanding from her very first member!

I love the way the crew interacts with each other too! An An Lee is trying to terrorize my ghostly babies! I need to see Vertin meeting Tennant and Eternity. And Rabies! VOYAGER! Ahh so many people!

Guess who started plagiarizing their own AU’s?

I got another fix-it with ✨angst✨ because I was thinking about how much Nero Price hates the districts for forcing him and his family into cannibalism and it made me think: “if starvation made him hate them, could it make them start to fight for them?” And then I thought about my starvation fix-it AU (featuring @spiralling-thoughts) and this was born.

Instead of the starvation happening before the games, it happens during the games, which takes place about a week or two later than it was supposed to due to rebel activity (read: Sejanus and a few good mentors fucking shit up for Gaul). The premise here is simple: these extra weeks gave the tributes the time to bond (and also none of them died because Sejanus Does Not Agree With That) and now none of them can stomach killing one another. So what’s the other option? Uhm… waiting until fate decides the victor? So once they’re finally thrown into the arena and the buzzer sounds they run into the tunnels like they did in canon (but with more kids), but the big difference is that nobody gets out. Some get a weapon just to be safe but the few kids that run into one another don’t really do anything. Think the Foxface-Katniss interaction at the start of the 74th Hunger Games. Lucky tries to get everyone hyped up every single time only to be sorely disappointed when they stare each other down only to sprint in the opposite direction mere seconds later.

At first, Gaul isn’t particularly bothered by how hilariously she’s being proven wrong because they can just starve out the tributes and surely they’ll start swinging at each other soon enough right? This might even be better than how things usually go! Except then the kids start to notice some are getting more food than others and they’re not about that. Coral sharing with Mizzen and Tanner is written off by their alliance, but then things start escalating. It starts with Lamina calling a clearly starved Wovey over and giving her all except two of her food packets. Then Lucy Gray and Jessup (who does not have rabies and neither does Reaper because Brandy (who is in the pack with Coral and Not Dead) threw the rabbid raccoon away a little further) trade their water for Sol and Hy’s food. Treech considers stealing Dill’s food and water but decides to help her consume it instead and somehow this keeps Dill from dying (Felix. The answer is Felix. He used his presidential family card to sneak antibiotics into her water bottles). Then before anyone knows it the tributes are all keeping tabs on who’s eaten what and they start rationing out so everyone gets the food they need. The older kids tells the younger ones that they’re deliberately feeding them more because growing you know? But the Capitol sure notices. When we get to day five, Gaul decides that enough is enough and orders a full stop to all sponsor gifts to try and force the tributes to start killing each other.

They do no such thing.

Instead, they start doubling down on their decision to stick this thing out together and start catching any rodents they can to feed to the youngest kids while ignoring the slowly growing hunger within them. Do those Capitol bastards really think they can get to them with starvation? Please, this is their daily jam. They’ve gotten this far, a little hunger won’t break them now. So they wait. They wait and they survive. It gets harder and harder for the older tributes, who are allowing themselves to starve for the sake of their younger companions and are slowly running out of fuel to keep going, but not once do they comply with what they know the Capitol wants from them. At some point it becomes pure shared spite more than anything.

Meanwhile, the Capitol citizens watch this go down and have their view of the world shaken up considerably. These kids know just a little too much about dealing with extreme food shortage for this to be their first rodeo. The delusion that the districts haven’t suffered as much as the Capitol did during the siege is completely shattered when the kids start sharing their best starvation cope tactics that make it clear this is a regular occurrence for them. Slowly, more and more information is shown to them as they watch the kids they saw as violent beasts be nothing but caring and kind to one another. It hits especially hard for the Price family, who spent so much time loathing the districts for their decision to resort to cannibalism only to find out that the Capitol has pushed the districts right to that edge for years. How can they call themselves better when they’ve done the exact same thing they resent the districts for? When they’ve arguably done worse because they’re punishing innocents? That last line of thinking becomes particularly unavoidable when the younger kids start taking up more screentime. Why do they do this? Because the older tributes are starting to succumb to starvation. They all look skeletal and half-dead, but the oldest tributes have given up so much food that it’s clear they can barely move. They do a good job of hiding it around the younger kids but once they’re out of sight under the guise of searching for more insects and rodents to eat they collapse and curl up to fight off the hunger pangs. When the young kids are asleep all the older ones clearly sag as their energy depletes. It reminds the Capitol citizens of how they’d hide their fatigue and physical deterioration from their kids and loved ones, desperate to hold it together, only to break down once they were alone.

When the first tribute stops being able to move, the Capitol has had enough. Perhaps Marcus, Coral, and Reaper scream their lungs out at the camera over the hypocrisy and cruelty and then mockingly asking the Capitol what they’re gonna do about this show of rebellion. This refusal to fight. Starve them? Kill them? What more can they do?! That’s the final straw. The more sympathetic citizens refuse to watch for even a second longer. They do the one thing the Capitol feared:

They rebel

Maybe they force the government to get the kids out. Maybe they get some peacekeepers on their side and storm the arena first to make sure not one more innocent life is lost. Either way, they realize that silence isn’t any better than being the monster. Seeing suffering and standing by is just as cruel as causing that suffering in the first place. If they storm the arena they bring easily digestible food and liquid calories to avoid refeeding syndrome or nausea from overeating so they can start helping the kids readjust and heal. Of course there’s a lot of distrust from the kids at first, but they’re in no position to refuse food. So they take it, and for once the oldest kids don’t mind eating first because who knows what these Capitol assholes put in it? Of course it turns out it’s not poisoned so they start to accept it a little more openly while the politics are handed and arrangements are made to get the kids back home. Gaul tries to stop this, but nobody listens to her anymore. Her lab’s destroyed under “mysterious circumstances” and as her career comes to a fiery end, she herself does too. When legal repercussions for her heinous actions is threatened by the parents of several academy students she endangered, she attempts to flee the country. What chance of winning does she have when one of the litigants is President Ravinstill himself??? Felix was a little upset about Dill’s pain and he wasn’t about to let it slide but since persecuting her for the hunger games wouldn’t work due to law changes not working retroactively this was the next best thing. Either way, certain people (the mentors) caught wind of the fact that this vile monster of a woman was trying to escape the consequences of her actions and they decided to remain one step ahead by becoming the mysterious circumstances credited with her disappearance. By which I mean she came to a slow death in her home. Possibly through invisible toxic gas, possibly through burning to death, possibly through her own predator muttations given her scent to hunt down. Who knows? Better question is who cares? The mentors have become closer to their tributes and their friendships last well beyond the fixing of all the problems in this mess of a country and all’s well that ends well.

what would Callie do if Eclipse bit Wade. Full on bloody CHOMP

Oh. Hmm. Hmmmmm.

~~~

It happened so fast, Callie didn't have time to stop it.

Eclipse had been with her for a few weeks, and had mostly acclimated to 'family life'.

Mostly.

Truth be told, she herself was still a little wary around him. The kid had bitten her the first time they really interacted, after all. Twenty-some stitches and a round of rabies shots had left her a little sour toward him after that.

That mouthful of sharp chompers was intimidating, and her heartrate rose if he looked like he was getting even the slightest bit agitated.

But today he'd seemed calm. Downright jovial. Wade had stopped by for a short chat, and had gone to snag a quick drink before heading home. He must have startled Eclipse, who whipped around and latched down on the deputy's arm.

CHOMP.

Wade had cried out, his free, unchomped hand going to cover his mouth. Callie had been in the living room when she heard the cry, and hurried in to find the darkling practically hanging off Wade's arm.

"NO!"

She was ashamed to admit her first instinct was to reach out and smack the boy away. Her arm actually drew back, and she caught herself before it came down in a swing. Her heart clenched when she realized what she was doing, and she instead reached forward to scruff the boy.

"LET GO! NOW!"

She gave him a shake, as though he were a misbehaving dog that chewed up her shoes. Eclipse gave a little growl, before reluctantly releasing Wade's arm.

Callie tossed Wade a hand towel to wrap around his bleeding arm, and dragged the darkling toward the pantry he'd been staying in.

"Go to your closet. Right now. Stay in there until I come get you."

The boy ducked down on all fours, casting her a look that was half snarl, half cower, before crawling through the curtain hung in front of the pantry.

Once that was done, she quickly turned to Wade, and helped wrap the towel more tightly around his arm.

"C'mon, we need to get you to urgent care and get that taken care of."

~X~X~X~

Two hours later, Wade was stitched up, Callie had apologized about a bazillion times, and Silver had been sent to the Wachowski's for the night.

Wade had been (unsurprisingly) forgiving. "He's a scared kid. Maybe I surprised him. Totally my fault." Callie kind of saw his point, but that didn't change the fact that this feral, shark-toothed kid had attacked the town deputy in her kitchen.

And now, the redhead stood in front of the curtain that covered the little pantry. She could hear movement inside, meaning Eclipse actually did stay in there like she had told him. That surprised her. She was sure she was going to find a broken window and missing darkling upon her return home.

She took a breath, held it, and released it slowly. She wasn't angry. Well, she was a little pissed, but not anything she could stuff down and ignore. Mostly she was frustrated. He'd seemed like he was calming down and now this.

She lifted a hand and gave a few light knocks on the door jamb.

"Eclipse. I'm coming in."

No response. Callie pulled the curtain aside and went to her knees in the doorway. Eclipse huddled against the far wall, curled up and turned away from her.

They sat like that for a long moment, neither saying anything as the silence settled heavily over them.

"What's rule number one?" she asked, keeping her voice calm and even.

The boy flinched, trying to curl himself tighter. "No biting."

"So you do remember."

He turned to shoot her a snarl. "He snuck up on me. And he had a weapon!"

She sat still for a moment before giving a short nod. "Okay. I'll give you the sneaking part. Wade doesn't know to give you space like Silver and I do. But he didn't have a weapon."

"He did!"

"No he didn't."

"It was on his hip! That brown thing."

"That was a holster, a little pocket kind of thing that holds a weapon, but it was empty. Wade does not bring his gun when he comes here."

Eclipse's lip curled as he turned away. "I didn't know that."

She sighed. "I know. You were scared."

He rounded on her, his teeth bared as he came a little closer. "I wasn't scared! If I was scared I would have run away, and I didn't! I attacked! I'm brave!"

Callie didn't exactly flinch, as much as she jerked back slightly at his sudden movement. She tried to never show any fear or nervousness around him, but it was hard when she still felt a little, well, uneasy over his ability to control himself.

"It's okay to be afraid," she said, keeping her voice calm. "It's understandable. But you can't react with those teeth any time you're surprised."

"I wasn't afraid!"

"Look, we can sit here and split hairs all you want, but the fact is, you bit our town deputy." Her patience was running out. But she took a breath and forced herself to be a little calmer. "If he weren't such a forgiving man, he could call the government and have them come get you. You could be taken away and locked in some cage somewhere. Is that what you want?"

He pushed himself up and assumed a fighting stance. "I'd fight them! I'd teleport away where they couldn't find me!"

"And then what? Where would you go?"

The question made him pause, and his shoulders slumped. "Far away. Just like you want me to go."

Okay, that . . . that made her breath catch.

"Why do you think I want you to go far away?"

He slunk back into the far corner and curled up. "You're afraid of me. You hate me."

Silence descended in the little pantry, and any anger or frustration within Callie dissipated to be replaced with guilt. A whole lotta guilt. She swallowed, knowing he was right.

Well, partially right. She didn't hate him, per se. She just wasn't completely trusting of him, yet. And yeah, maybe she was a little afraid of him.

Well, damnit.

Callie rearranged herself to sit cross-legged, adopting a more casual posture before him.

"I don't hate you." Now her voice was softer, with less of an authoritative edge. "You just . . . well, you bit me the first time I really tried to help you. You have to admit that would make you seem a little scary, right?"

Eclipse peeked at her from the corner of his eye, turning slightly toward her. "I guess. But you hurt my arm so bad!"

"If I had known it was hurting you, I never would have touched it. But you were so sick. I was only trying to help."

He seemed to consider this. "You did find me and fix my arm."

"Because I was worried about you. Even though you bit me, and I was so scared you'd hurt Silver, too. You were hurt and needed help."

Silence again, but this one wasn't as heavy as the previous. Eclipse uncurled a little more, turning to look at her with his large gold-on-black eyes.

"Why aren't you still mad? Why aren't you punishing me?"

Callie chewed her cheek as she thought. A fair question, especially considering how she reacted when he'd bitten Wade.

"Because I haven't been treating you as well as I should have. It was probably making you uncomfortable, knowing someone was still watching and almost waiting for you to do something bad. I'm really sorry. That was wrong."

A look of surprise spread across his face, and he turned, his brow furrowing in confusion. "It was?"

She nodded. "I've probably been keeping you on edge this whole time without knowing. Kinda stupid I didn't realize it before. Makes your chest feel all tight, doesn't it? Just waiting for someone to get angry at you? Feeling like you're being judged all the time?"

He stared at her for a moment, before nodding.

"Yeah. Been there. I'm really sorry, Eclipse. I'll do better."

The boy stared, flicking his eyes to the side as though he were trying to make sense of her words. Finally he looked back at her, letting out a little breath.

"I'm sorry I bit him. I . . . I guess I was scared."

A little smile curled her lips, and she leaned a little closer. "Do you think you can tell him that?"

He bit his lip, before giving a short nod.

"Okay. I'm going to call him, and you can tell him over the phone. Then maybe we can spend some time together, just you and me. Silver's spending the night over at Sonic's house. Would you like that?"

The darkling's brow shot up in shock, before he swallowed.

After a moment, he gave a slight, barely there nod.

"Okay. C'mon. Let's call Wade."

Callie stood and headed toward her phone, with a little darkling following close behind.

[mini-leafster]

ooc, but can you give me the whole lore to this au please. I wasn’t able to find it and I wanna understand it cuz it’s cool 😭🙏 /nf

thanks!

-🏳���‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ anon

🔥-id LOVE to give you the whole lore, but this rp has been going on for actual ages, it would take me so so long 😭😭😭😭

🔥-also theres some rundowns in #pinned, pins rundown is really good although its more of her perspective, + some anon decided to explain some bits really well

🔥-ps; this originally wasnt supposed to be an au, but it got so offtrack by accident it qualifies as one, (this is completely my fault, mods, dw) 😭😭😭

🔥-so, ill give you the shortest rundown i can possibly muster about the FIRST quarter of the rp for bg info:

🔥-leafior first appeared, got a lollipop and cookies, and almost immediately got rabies

🔥-before the rabies, she met leafy, who people called her mom (so she just believed it as she had no known relatives)

🔥-but during the rabies, her probably brother firey jr had to un-rabid her

🔥-more rabies occurred, and leafy kinda ghosted her kid for a little until maple appeared

🔥-leafior during this all has been talking to pin, and told her to show a leafy drawing to leafy once she had the chance (this doesn't really matter in the long run i just loved this interaction)

🔥-maple has become a medical response to leafior going rabid, as maple had been mostly dormant before this and was pulled out by an anon (also, leafior and maple act kinda like a system! i made it in my own way, however, as im not a system and cannot speak for them.)

🔥-after maple appeared, leafy literally disowned leafior in a panic, making leafior think she did something wrong for a while

🔥-leafy apologized, but leafior said it would take a while to forgive her

🔥-leafior then left to a place called the darkzone, an area located in the mindspace (basically, her head. its where maple and leafior go when they arent taking over atm and where a few of the shenanigans happened)

🔥-the anons gave maple cool wings, and she left to go look for leafior

🔥-she got mauled by a lone mimic, and eventually did NOT find leafior, as leafior was tped outta there with a massive bite in her head

🔥-this bite is by fbp, a bowglow. fbp is important later on

🔥-so, once she headed back, pin and leafy FREAKED out at the sight of the 10 year old looking like she just escaped black friday in a walmart

🔥-she WAS fine, until she started bleeding and just flopped onto the floor. pin and leafy rushed to help bandage her and stuff before she went to the hospital, and leafior was rendered immobile during this

🔥-leafior forgave leafy, finally

🔥-and to wrap this up since this is getting disasterously long, they went to the hospital, coiny accompanying them

[funni-bunny-thing]

i got older yeepiss.

(long monologue below)

i want to genuinely thank everyone who has interacted with my posts. i i don't really talk a lot, because idk when and what to say and really, seeing people apreciating and have fun with my work just honestly makes my day.

like for example the sam and max art. when i created this account i didn't think that people will see my stuff. i didn't think i was that great of an artist and thought my work would probably be burried between better work.

but people liked it. rebloged it.

i got to interact with other people in the fandom.

people that i enjoyed their work, liked my work.

some of my posts (the rabies and the banjo one) got over 200 notes (which for me is a lot).

the dsaf mod is one of my projects that i am also proud of. when i posted it i expected that the mod will probably be one of those posts that will be maybe seen by 10-20 people and i would just casually update for myself. but the comments, the tag comments, when i saw them i honestly felt euphoric.

i felt like i have already done my life goal of making someone happy with my work which i never thought i would see untill when i would be an adult.

right now i feel that i am getting hyperfixated on something else so i will probably post less of sam and max fanart. i was thinking of finally posting my osc and maybe making an object show? idk i get bored of ideas preety fast so that's not a promise.

so returning to my original point:

you have already gave me a birthday gift and it is - you.

thank you for supporting me and i hope that you will continue to support on my future works.

(and btw yes my birthday is on the same date as sam lol, happy birthday to him)

[youmissedone]

{out of smokes} Okay, time for a rant because I haven't complained about this in a long time, haha. L.J. bugs me so much as a person. Let's discuss, heh.

In Apocalypse, he gave Carlos shit for getting bitten and not saying anything. "Shoulda told me you got bit, motherfucker, I'm hangin' wit' you 'n shit." It's a very funny line, we all laughed. But what he's really saying there is... "if you had told me, I would've abandoned you." Or maybe worse, he might've just shot Carlos. I think the former, but even so, he's admitting that he wouldn't be hanging with him if he knew he was bitten. Not... "you should've told me so I can help you," or "so that we can try to find a cure." Nope, he just wanted nothing to do with infected for his own personal safety.

And then in Extinction, he does the exact same thing... gets bitten and doesn't tell anybody. Except there's a few big differences. Nobody really knew what the hell was going on in Raccoon City. Not much was known about the virus, everything was chaos, it was an immediate survival situation. It was also a few hours. Carlos didn't know if he would become crazed like other people, he probably didn't even realize those people were dying and being reanimated. He could've just thought it was something like rabies but with an accelerated incubation time and symptom progression. He was also focused on helping/saving people and wasn't a complainer by nature. So for him to complain about being injured when he had a job to do just wasn't like him. He did make one complaint to Nikolai that the bite wouldn't stop bleeding, but that was in private to a comrade, not around easily frightened civilians. He might not have realized he was contagious either. He was more focused on doing his job and helping people than he was on himself.

L.J., on the other hand, knew exactly what was going to happen to him and why. He knew he was contagious. He knew he'd turn and then endanger his friends. And he didn't care. I don't know what he thought was going to happen, like there was no way to cure him, so... he knew he was going to die. So he literally just put everyone around him at risk because he wanted a few more hours to live himself. I guess he thought they would just shoot him on the spot, which might tell you something about what he thought about his friends. But regardless, he knew full well what would happen to him, and then potentially to whoever he's around when he turns. Also, he kept it a secret for what, an entire day? The rest of a day, all night, and into the next day. A note on inconsistency of incubation times for the T-virus is warranted here, but... I'll let it slide for now, heh.

Maybe I can understand hiding the bite for a little while, none of us knows what we’d do in that situation and people legit get scared if they think they've contracted something fatal, I get it. But after that little while, L.J. should have disclosed it to the convoy because 1) he knows he’ll turn and put people in danger eventually, 2) he’s massively contagious even before that occurs, and 3) he's interacting with other people in close quarters. He was having dinner with Betty the same night he got bit. Did they share drinks or utensils or anything? Because now she’s infected too. Did they hook up at all? She’s even more infected. Like. Did he stop to consider this? He seemed to genuinely care for Betty but then at times he also seemed to not really give her safety a second thought.

And that’s not even the worst of it. He had the chance to be a hero and save lives during the raven attack. He could have at that point been like look, I’m already infected, you guys go and be safe, I'll hold 'em off. But nope, he lets Betty and others take the fall while he’s whisked away with the others and kept safe. Really? You’re gonna let other people die for your safety when you know you’re as good as dead anyway? That's a special kind of selfishness, right there.

Contrast this with Carlos, who never hid the bite he got from L.J. from anyone, and who almost immediately came up with a plan to use his death for something good that would benefit everyone. That was the first thing on his mind… not his own safety, not denial, not dishonesty, not himself over others… but how can I use this moment to everyone’s advantage? What the best outcome of this situation? How can I go out on my own terms? And he doesn’t even hesitate to take one for the team to help everyone else possibly reach their goal of getting to Alaska. Like. Hero material doesn’t even cover this, it makes my heart hurt.

But what hurts even more is… Carlos never once badmouths L.J. for what he did. There’s no… "what the hell" or "thanks a lot." Nothing. Okay, he calls him a "sneaky sonvabitch" when he finds that extra joint in the truck, but I think we'll all agree that was a term of endearment, heh. But... side note... we can add liar to L.J.'s list of character flaws, because how many people asked him if he had any smokes or "alternate" and he said no? Again, L.J. was only thinking of himself. Getting back to Carlos, he bears L.J. no ill will whatsoever for infecting him. If I know Carlos, he was really sorry to lose who he considered a dear friend, and that was it. Even right after L.J. bit him, he didn’t react with… "you asshole!" or something, he just says… “L.J.” And you can hear in his tone that he’s already mourning him. There’s no animosity, no blame, nothing. That’s a serious indication of character right there.

No point to this rant other than that every now and then my feelings bubble over on this subject, heh. I wanted to like L.J. so much, I really did. I found him to be funny, entertaining, and interesting. But I just will never forgive him for what he did in Extinction. Regardless of how pissed off I was to lose Carlos and how sad it was for Alice, Claire, K-Mart, etc. to watch him die that… explosively… what L.J. did is still by itself just such a glaring indication of cowardice, selfishness, and disregard for the lives of others, and it makes me so annoyed I could angry-eat a whole cheesecake myself, heh.

In celebration of me finally getting merch!

Plus bonus dialouge underneath of a 100% canon and real interaction

Scratch: "Hello my fine idiots. It is I, Scratch with even MORE merch! Who did I claim as victim to my ever-growing capitalist empire this time?"

[Scratch reveals a Phito plush underneath a cloth]

"Look at that! It's everyone's favorite sad bug boy!"

Phito [off-screen] "Ok what the hell did you do this time!?"

[Phito walks onscreen]

"What the- Is that me!?"

Scratch "Nooo, why would you say that?"

Phito "I- what is happening?"

[Silence]

Scratch "Ok bub can you take a step back you're throwing off my groove."

Phito "...ok?"

Scratch "ahem- anyway this lil' fella even has a bonus cap! And since Jeff Bezos lovingly gave us all of his money we decided to go ahead and add a extra outfit! Look at that, All nice and snug :3 "

Phito "Wait a minute...how the hell do you know about that identity!?"

Scratch "What?"

Phito "Don't you what me! You know what I'm referring to!"

Scratch "Hold on bucko whatever you're mad about I assure you-"

Phito "Tell me how you know about that you rabies infested piece of-!"

[Recording is cutoff as Phito plunges at Scratch.]

I think it's a crime that there's no video compilation of all of Wu's (few) lines from Jurassic World Evolution 1 (and 2 but mostly 1).

Cause he was sassy as hell and so damn full of himself. Bro had the most petty interactions with Kajal Dua and Malcolm, literally just the "THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING!!!" anytime they had to talk to each other.

And tho I hate that he's labeled as a villain, he's just a man of science come on. The fact it's implied he sent Malcolm a DEATH THREAT and was basically like ,"fuck you I'm making more hybrids" fucking kills me.

Henry Wu during the Isla Pena mission: I advise you not to ask too many questions. And by too many questions, I mean any questions at all. What I... WE do is well above your pay grade.

Me: YOU GAVE MY DINOSAURS RABIES YOU ASSHOLE. I THINK I'M ALLOWED TO KNOW.

Sun HC!!! (Part one)

NOTES

🫧🐟📝Hi hello! Welcome aboard!! So yeah, I know I was going to make a headcanon version of LJ but I couldn’t resist making headcanons for the DCA (daycare attendance)!! So yeah, here it is. Some won’t (?) make sense due to me changing the story, but hope that’s fine :3 and yeah, these are just mainly in general hcs, but also random and interaction stuff, btw if your looking for more just ask me in my inbox! This post is also going to be separated by DCA’s!! So this is part one. ~ Debvin!

Warnings?

Spoooooilers?? Maybe? Idk. Also, it’s going to be a pretty long post.

Sun

(hugh jumpscare)

In General???

Okay, just to get this straight, all of their heights are at 7 ft tall. Why? Because I said so.

Because of his height, he’s like really lanky. I mean all of them are so.. not much of a difference.

His name is Sun, just Sun, NOT Sundrop. He doesn’t really mind it if your calling him the candy name, same goes for the others. He actually kinda finds it amusing. The candy name is to just not get him and the others get mixed up with the ACTUAL sun and moon.

Based off the game little battery system, I’m assuming same thing goes for Sun that he has to charge… again, for others as well.

Except, you know how he has to be ON and Moon cannot? And you know how he’s the ONLY ONE taking care of the loud ass kids at the daycare?

Yeah, this POOR ROBOT IS TIRED. He’s also technically dying a bit and getting his energy drained.

He sometimes snaps at kids, acts fucking insane but tries to act cheerfully.

Sun is trying his best to be happy go lucky, I swear he’s really trying.

Actually growls. Not the seductive growl your expecting (sorry Sun simps), but the “GRRRRR RAGHHHHHAYAY RUFF RUFURFU SNARL, SNRAL” rabies dog growl. He does this when he’s stressed.

Sometimes when he’s stressed he curls up into a ball and rocks back n forth at a corner. I don’t even know how I came up with this one.

PULLS stuff out of nowhere, always comically large.

His little sunrays shifts a lot depending on his emotion and feeling.

The only music he has listened to is his daycare music. Nothing else. Would love it if you introduced him to something else though.

A lot of the employees neglect him.

With Kids

Plays with the kids a lot, I mean I don’t know what your expecting he’s the only one that plays with them.

Because it’s little kids they’re going to be dirty.

Sun despises that but tries his best to clean up.

Most of the time kids are afraid of him. (His canon version, but in my hc version they aren’t due to my design change.)

Has scribbles, stains, and handprints all over him.

As much as Sun tries to clean himself after the terrible incident of kids rubbing disgusting things on him, he eventually gave up and went insane.

Not too insane, but clean freak insane. (Clean freak but doesn’t even clean his own room).

References a lot of theatre stuff to the kids, they don’t understand him at all.

With Moon (before corrupted)

FUCKING LOVED HIM BUT ALSO HATED HIM.

In a platonic way ofc, I hc all three of them as brothers.

Appreciated his entire being because that means he can go to resting mode and build up his energy for the next day.

Also didn’t appreciate him at the same time because he says unnecessary stuff to him in their little mindset (which I will explain how that works in another post).

Ohhh, if he could have his brother in a separate body he would hug him then go world-star on him by beating the absolute shit of out of him.

Whenever it was time for Sun to take turn, his body is just covered in stacks of blankets that causes him to overheat a lot.

With Moon (after corrupted)

Missed him a lot, didn’t realize how much he wanted his brother back.

Because he had to stay in light all times, he wasn’t able to transform back into his brothers body anymore due to how dangerous he was.

Because they are programmed into the same body, Sun’s programming was also slowly getting a virus and corrupted.

When everybody else is gone, sometimes he finds somewhere dark, but not TOO dark to plug a nightlight that his brothers face on there.

The purpose of this was to let his corrupted brother see what’s going on, but because it’s not fully dark he isn’t in control and is slowly getting hurt from the light.

Corrupted moon thinks Sun is damaging him on purpose, when Sun just wants to show how much he misses his brother.

Corrupted moon somehow doesn’t have access to the mindset space, so Sun and Eclipse can think freely without him.

Angst hehe

With Eclipse

Doesn’t actually interact with him that much.

Sun kinda wishes he was more like Eclipse, because he’s much more calm and nicer than he is.

Kinda is jealous of him in a way??

I’ve been there Sun, being jealous of your sibling for doing sm better ☹️

Talks to him in mindset space but Moon always butts in and interrupts.

The only person that was there for him when he was going insane.. ☠️

Wished he got to talk more with Eclipse, but their interactions varied little.

OKAY THATS ALL FOR PART ONE!!! Will probably post another part tmrw :3 Next one will be Moon (reblogs appreciated!!)

The Encounter

WIP: In The Woods Somewhere Characters: Jackie and Benny Word Count: 1,070 ***Content Warnings: no gore but gross descriptions of bodily fluids, mild suspense***

This takes place early in ITWS, when Benny and Jackie run into someone who will not be human very soon. Just a reminder: this WIP is set during the early apocalypse, contains zombies, and is sapphic! Created for mature audiences!

Another note, I have had severe writers block and generally been stupid busy, so this is only 1/3 of the work I did on this novel recently. I’m hoping this will encourage me to keep writing!

Wet, acrid heat engulfed Jackie. This time of year the air was sticky and hot, carrying the scent of pine and goldenrod flowers on the wind. She shielded her eyes with her free hand, leaning against her rake that she stabbed into the moist earth. Buzzards swarmed overhead, cawing and floating along the blue sky.

"Something must've died," Benny puffed, his shoulders hunched and hands resting on his knees. His back moved up and down rapidly as he tried to catch his breath.

"Please tell me you brought sunscreen with you," Jackie raised a brow while looking at the young ranger intern. Benny's cheeks were scarlet, sweat falling in large beads down his freckled cheeks. He lifted his head, dirty blond hair sticking to his forehead, and grinned ear to ear.

"Nope!"

"Goddamn it, Benny..." Jackie unclipped the portable fan from around her neck and handed it to him. "Chief is going to kill you, you know. If skin cancer doesn't get to you first."

"It's such a pain - why do I have to reapply it every thirty minutes? Can't they just make sunscreen that lasts all day?" Jackie knew he was kidding, but the urge to give the young man a tongue lashing crept up the back of her throat. So she gave him a deep frown, watching as he fanned himself at full volume. His eyes widened, brows turning upward in the saddest display of puppy eyes. "C'mon, Jack, you know I didn't mean to. I had a billion things on my mind this morning."

Jackie shook her head, yanking her rake out of the ground. "No, I shouldn't be talking to you like you're a kid. Sorry, Benny." Her face smoothed out, a small smile curling at the corner of her lip. "Let's take care of whatever the hell that is and get out of Dodge." She jutted a thumb towards the carnivorous birds. They had migrated closer to the two of them during their spat, hovering only a dozen feet overhead.

The two rangers were tasked with clearing out the overgrown shrubbery that crept along the [trail name] trail. After hours of backbreaking work under the sun, they had it back to tip-top shape, allowing the path to be seen properly by hikers. While not the ideal task at the park, Jackie preferred being in nature over being yelled at by summer holiday campers at the trailheads and welcome center. The primary downside of working the trails was the inevitability of coming across something dead or finding yet another problem that needed fixing.

"Five bucks it's just a squirrel again," Benny laughed, giving Jackie her fan back and looking much cooler than before.

"I don't know. Four buzzards for one squirrel?" She took the lead, heading into a thicket of trees with her eyes on the birds.

"Maybe, there's been a lot of weird animal things going on lately."

"Maybe."

He wasn't wrong. Jackie had seen a few strange events since summer began. She chocked it up to the summer heat. It was at least ten degrees warmer than last July, and the Wildlife Biology team pointed out that animals were avoiding human contact in larger numbers than in previous seasons. The animals that did interact with humans tended to be far more aggressive than usual, too.

Jackie trembled thinking about her run in with an emaciated bear cub in early spring. How its eyes were caked in puss and mouth dripping with a sickly yellow foam. Rabies, the biologists told her, and abandoned by its mother. But she had never seen bear cubs act like that before - or look like that. It attacked her like it had a grudge against her personally, not like it was hungry.

"Jackie?" Benny's voice behind her grew quiet, nearly a whisper. She took pause, drawing her gaze away from the gaps in the tree canopy. A twig snapped ahead of them. The thick scent of vomit hit her like a ton of bricks. There, in a small clearing among the overgrowth, stood a human. A man, on the heavier side, back hunched slightly and head down like he was sleeping while standing upright. Flies buzzed past her ear, zooming towards the fresh feast of vomit at the man's sandled feet. She swallowed a gag, standing up straighter. If the man noticed their presence, he didn't acknowledge them.

Jackie cleared her throat. "Sir? Are you lost? This trail is closed for maintenance and it's advised that you stick to the path." She used her 'teacher voice' as JJ called it. A mix of disappointment and authority that usually steered park guests in the right direction.

The man's head lulled from side to side, slow and methodical, before lifting. He looked over his shoulder at them, eyes wet and face ghostly white. He blinked, as if he saw through them. "Sorry..." he croaked. His words had the cadence of someone whose tongue was too large for their mouth.

"Do you need medical attention?" Jackie prodded, using a gentler tone. She stepped a few paces closer, Benny staying back.

"Little Bear to Papa Bear, we have a situation out on [trail name]." He muttered into his walkie talkie. "Can we get medical out here, over."

"No." The man's head wavered again and he ran a fist over his eyes. A thick goo stuck to his skin, a bit of it dribbling down his cheek. "Just tired. Where am I?"

"You're near the trail, don't worry." Jackie motioned for him to follow them back towards safety. "Let's get you some water, we have a team headed this way that will get you back to your camp, okay?"

'Papa Bear to Little Bear, medic is on their way, over.'

The stranger shuffled his feet, moving like he was attached to weights and moving through water. When he turned, Jackie noticed the front of his shirt was covered in sweat from collar to belly button. How long had he been standing out in he heat? She tried not to curl her nose in disgust as he hacked up some more bile. It landed between them in a thick puddle.

"Careful, now. Did you know you were sick, sir?"

"Jus'a cold." he followed slowly, just behind Jackie. Benny took the lead back to the trail, straying as far away from the stranger as possible. "Not even that sick."

"Well, we'll let our med team decide that."

hospital worker reacts! a self-indulgent list of the funniest thing from every episode of season 1 of House MD

for context im an admin worker specifically in outpatients, so my knowledge of american inpatient wards is minimal at best

LETS GO

s1e01: this is bc i work in australian public health, but the idea of tenure as something a doctor can achieve

s1e02: the sheer concept of consultants searching for an absconded patient. where are your wardies and security officers??

s1e03: these people are highly qualified specialists and theyre... running their own pathology tests. do they literally have not a single patient on the ward they could be seeing??

s1e04: this one is funny bc its true but cuddy making all the med students swab rooms for infection because "its not like theyre doing anything else"

s1e05: dr wilson is MARRIED? to a WOMAN??

s1e06: literally sooooo funny when they break into a house to investigate a patient's history. i cant even get my registrars to check their emails.

s1e07: patients will tell anyone their personal fucking business. like they tell me, the person literally just trying to book their appointment, about their parents dying or their domestic violence incidents. doctors returning those details with some deep meaningful life lesson? HAHAHAHA.

s1e08: this isnt funny but the woman getting snippy and aggressive about her sons treatment literally gave me anxiety palpitations its too accurate

s1e09: in this episode, chase schedules non-emergency neuro/vasc surgery for. later the same day. i am DYING to know what the theatre schedules and e-board look like at this hospital.

s1e10: this was just a good episode i guess nothing to say here. go rabies!

s1e11: genuinely cant believe its taken eleven episodes for someone to deck house. a nurse probably wouldve done it by now if nurses existed in this hospital for longer than 10 seconds at a time.

s1e12: wilson realising he cant go to the monster truck rally with house is genuinely the most heartwrenching acting of the show so far

s1e14: the way these people act about transplant lists is SO funny. i have minimal interaction with this so im gonna go ahead and assume every one of my dialysis kidney transplant patients went through something exactly this dramatic

s1e15: THEY BROUGHT A PIG ONTO THE WARD HHDNDMSMMFFMG

s1e16: the woman refusing surgery for her 30 pound tumour because. she doesn't want a cosmetic scar. ive had this exact conversation i think.

s1e17: house full on tortures a patients in this one. i once had a complaint filed against me because i told an inpatient her ultrasound had been rescheduled.

s1e18: looming spectre of privatised healthcare vs my personal dislike of house's actions FIGHT

s1e19: this is my favourite episode so far bc it has a bed manager as a character. "if she dies at least we'll have a bed free" is also something ive heard multiple times.

s1e20: nothing to say abt the plot but house and wilsons little freak relationship is giving me life tbqh

s1e21: the patients writing "not this leg" before a possible amputation made me v happy!! a case of truth being funny enough for television

s1e22: aaaand one last patient assault to round out the season! i just dont understand how he isnt physically in jail!

final verdict im obsessed with this show im gonna watch all three hundred seasons

[help-me-find-a-name-please-lol]

Strange how I could pick a memory instantly:

I was out whoop-whoop doing rural practical work experience for my vet studies and staying alone in a hotel/pub. I'd been working at the clinic for a while by then and they were the absolute WORST. Some highlights: They routinely made pain relief optional to the owner when they were booking their pets in for surgeries (even planned non-urgent desexings) to help save them money; a nurse there who hated everyone deliberately put multiple people at risk of contracting the Aussie version of rabies; and even on her own dog one of the vets had 4 people pin the dog down with their whole body weight for a painful ear check when the sedative didn't work sufficiently. There was also the memorable moment where I was bagging a patient who wasn't breathing on their own under anaesthesia, and the vet doing the surgery screamed at me to instead run and open up an anatomy textbook for her so that she could figure out what it was she just cut! So anyway, I'd just made it back to the hotel after spending the entire day doing nothing but euthanising feral cats, and I probably can't use that term for how I was instructed to kill them because it wasn't a good death (mostly due to the staff dumping them out in cages in the sun while waiting for the sedative to take effect). By this time I'd had to swallow and stomach so much, while being given zero opportunity to actually learn anything (eg when a snakebite case came in they sent me off to refill saline flush syringes), that I was close to breaking point. I run into this older man there and he must have been able to tell something was wrong, cos he gently starts a conversation. As soon as I mentioned I was a vet student he was whipping out his phone and showing me all these pictures of his very-loved cats, including the setup where he hung fluid bags in the shower to help manage their hydration with kidney disease. He then proceeded to convince me to "do him a favour" by joining him for dinner, which he paid for (just a $10 pub meal but still I was a broke uni student so very grateful), because he was a travelling salesperson who "hates to eat alone". The best part? Total gentleman at the end. I'd never had a man pay for my dinner before and I was worried it would come with expectations. I didn't want to sleep with him but I was emotional and also had a complicated upbringing (in my head at that moment my mum was calling me a pricktease, for example - something that continues to be a fun source of fucked-up anxious interactions with men considering I eventually discovered the term "asexual" and realised "yep that's me"), so I didn't know how to react if he did proposition me, or whether I'd be able to maintain my personal safety if he took rejection badly when we were both staying in the same complex. But when I lingered awkwardly as we left the restaurant, not knowing what to do, he just told me "I'm not a dirty old man, I don't want anything, thanks for joining me for dinner" and walked off to his room.

His kindness that night gave me the strength I needed to make it through the rest of my horror stay at the clinic of nightmares. I hope he knows the difference he made 💙
