Me, the ultimate Lily apologist, understanding Nadja enough to know she would be a hater kdjhfdk. Throwback to the very beginning of the comic!

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Waist up of vampire Guillermo hugging Nadja from behind with a contented smile, eyes closed. Nadja whips her head around to look at him with a confused snarl, asking, 'Why are you hugging me?!' Guillermo replies, 'Because you saw me when I was invisible.' 2. Repeat. Nadja's hands have dropped from their startled flight to cover Guillermo's at her midsection. They both look back, Guillermo in annoyance and Nadja in confusion, when Colin Robinson pops into frame with a smile and says 'The Princess Diaries, 2001.' 3. Full body of Colin and Nadja sitting on a couch, Guillermo cross-legged on the floor in front of them, as they all watch The Princess Diaries together. They are all wearing pajamas; Colin in a beige striped set and slippers, Guillermo in a blue striped set, and Nadja in a pink Victorian nightgown with her hair up in a bun. Nadja is pointing at the TV and demanding, 'She should just kill this bitch of a friend already!' Guillermo bats a hand upward at her without taking his eyes from the screen and says, 'Nonono, Lily's cool, they make up. It's very relatable.' Nadja shoots back, 'They better do it quick before I rip those stupid pig's tails from her stupid head!!' Colin is sitting with his legs crossed at the knee, texting with a contact called 'Stu-bear' on his phone. He types, 'What would you think if I grew giant sideburns?' Stu writes back, 'Hmm. I mean. Is it just the sideburns or w/ hair? I like you bald.' /end ID

since all new 3d printing & photography is still in limbo, a throwback! this is the first doll i ever made. she is from a couple of years back, though a more precise grip on the timeline is lost to me.

i had a brief fascination with bjd head sculpts as a kid, and did a few frankenstein experiments on barbies, but was never really interested in dolls before. the hobby started in a flash when i happened to see a monster high custom video on youtube. i took one look at a cleaned abbey face, went "monster high face sculpts are like THAT?", and got my boots on to go to the nearest thrift store. did not find any monster high at that time, but bought a moxie girlz doll, and came home to make this.

the spider butt is insulation foam and clay, and the legs are worbla over a thick metal wire, which allows them to bend surprisingly well. also, the tattoos are patterns cut out of my childhood satin pajamas, which is an excellent example how a lot of my material storage may be Old As Balls, but eventually compelling things will have their use.

the arms are super charming when i look at them now; a relic from a time when i didn't just have a bin of spare doll parts to get new arms from. i thought about swapping them out now, but i think i'll keep her as she is, as documentation. the harness i do need to retie though, as i did not know shibari back then and it Could Be Much Better now that i do.

all told, i've made about 80 fashion doll customs. most of them have never been photographed, but i'll do some more throwback dollposting when me and/or my partner get time & motivation to take pictures.

[fort-cozy-mcblanket]

Okay, time to pick apart those Young Sheldon finale photos! We only have the 3 pictures so far but they packed a lot of details in and I've been waiting all day to be a maniac about this, so let's go!

Starting with some of the obvious stuff, you can clearly see a Nobel medal on the wall.

I believe this is their Nobel Prize certificate framed on the wall behind Sheldon too.

And then there's a photo of Sheldon and Amy from the Nobel ceremony. Unsure what that blue thing is in front of it.

Sheldon still has Gollum on his desk.

And the DNA structure from 4A is in the corner of the room.

There's also this photo of Sheldon's family (the Young Sheldon cast).

It's not really clear in what order we're supposed to view these photos, but I think we're seeing Amy bring Sheldon a cup of tea in a Flash mug.

And it looks like she put it on some sort of Rubik's cube coaster? Maybe?

I don't know what this other thing is framed up on the wall, I think the second and third words are Physics Review? Theoretical Physics Review?

I noticed there's another picture frame on the desk but it's facing away from the camera so not sure what's in it. Sheldon and Amy's wedding photo? A family photo of Sheldon and Amy and their kids? If it's the latter, maybe we will get to see it before the episode closes out.

Amy's wearing a necklace, which I can't recall her ever wearing in TBBT. It looks like it's a pearl.

A few other things:

Sheldon's robe and pajama set look familiar

Amy's outfit looks more like a throwback to her pre-makeover wardrobe, which I appreciate

Not sure what's written on the whiteboard in the one pic, does anyone know?

There's a string theory poster but I don't think we've seen it before, or at least I don't remember it

Some books on Sheldon's desk that I can't make out

I don't know how but I need Sheldon and Amy to kiss in this scene more than I need anything else in my life right now

Please let me know if I missed anything important! And if you read this far, thanks for going on this journey with me. :)

thinking about…watching s.geto smoke!

mature audiences

suguru geto x black!fem!reader

warnings: smoking, weed

names used(?): lover, princess

sitting in the dimly lit living room, the black velvet material of the couch rubs against any exposed skin that your pajamas failed to cover. a random throwback movie playing lowly in the background as you scroll through your twitter feed. a granola bar half eaten in one hand, the half-torn wrapper stopping you from touching it directly. a little snack before deciding on what to eat for dinner. the hum of the shower being on down the dark hall came to a halt as your lover seemingly turned it off. it took a minute before the door swung open, a puff of steam leaving the bathroom as you peered at suguru walking towards your shared bedroom — a gray towel wrapped around his waist.

it wouldn’t be long before he re-emerges from the bedroom. his body now covered with a pair of black sweatpants — upper half void of any type of shirt. the very trim of his black calvin klein boxers peeking out above his sweatpants. it wasn’t until he sat on the couch, pulling your legs over his lap, that you were able to smell the scent of his body wash.

it flooded your senses as you continued to scroll down your timeline. nails tapping against the screen. it wasn’t until you heard the flicker of a lighter that you looked up completely. watching as a blunt lay tucked in between suguru’s lips, lifting the lighter. his hair was free of any hair tie, slightly tucked behind his ear - meaning the gauge in his ear closets to you was on full display.

taking a hit from the blunt, he pulled it from between his lips, slinging one arm over the back of the couch as a river of smoke fell from his lips. you hadn’t realized you had been lost in thought. your phone screen had faded to black as it had been left unattended in your lap. eating at your granola bar with small bites. with your eyes locked on suguru, you had tilted your head slightly in admiration. it wasn’t until his attention turned towards you and he spoke up that you realized you’d been staring.

“do y’know what you wanna eat tonight, princess?”

adding into anon's prom ask, what would your yuu choose for spirit weeks? like the themes for each day, the outfits, etc...

Honestly, past pajama day or a throw back decade day, Yuu wouldn't care too much. That's probably from my own feelings, but spirit weeks were never really that interesting to me. Literally, I only remember Pajama day of any spirit week I had through all of all of schooling.

Yuu would if anything only care for Pajama day, throwback day, and Twin day (only so she could fuck with someone by dressing like them. The funniest idea is Yuu dresses like Floyd and now Jade no longer has a twin.)

Lullabies from the Sky

The final prompt for @ombrotherlylove2023 is finished! Omg. Thank you so much for putting on this event, it's been so fun and i've loved reading and seeing everyone's creations! And thank you to everyone who has been reading and commenting on all of my fics! I'm going to make a masterlist of them all here very soon so they are all in one place. I really hope that you enjoy the final one!

A/N: I decided to do the prompt with Belphie (of course), Beel, and Lucifer because something about the oldest taking care of the youngest just warms my heart you know? Plus I love the throwbacks to the Celestial Realm days when they were Angels. Lucifer is such a dad hehe. Also towards the end, it kind of switches POVs a little, I hope that's okay.

Summary: Lucifer is beginning to grow agitated when Belphie doesn't show up to breakfast one morning. When he hunts him down to scold him for sleeping in late, he realizes that the sleepy demon isn't his usual self at all.

Day 7: Sick Fic (& Lullabies) with Belphie, Beel, and Lucifer.

Lucifer has called Belphegor’s name several times now, and his little brother still hasn’t made his way downstairs for breakfast. It wasn’t unusual for Belphie to be the last one at the table in the morning, but it didn’t usually take long before his rumbling stomach (or Beel’s) pulled him out of his deep slumber. The rest of the brothers have already finished eating and Lucifer had ushered them out of the house to get to RAD early to make up for the fact that himself and Belphie were clearly going to be late today. “I swear, Belphegor and his sleeping habits.” Lucifer muttered to himself, climbing up the stairs to make his way to the Twin’s room at the end of the hallway. He didn’t even bother knocking, as he was well past annoyed at this point. “Belphie, please get up this instant, we’re going to be-” he began to scold, but noticed that Belphie was not in his bed amongst the piles of plush pillows and lavish blankets he is always spending his money on. Lucifer sighed, figuring that he must be up in the attic. He really didn’t have time for this. 

As he made his way up the winding staircase, Lucifer was growing significantly more frustrated. Belphie knew he was to set several alarms in the morning for this exact reason. The raven haired demon pushed his way through the attic door, and entered the room to finally find Belphie passed out on the bed. Lucifer growled, making his way over to the bed to shake him awake. “Belphegor, get up. This is ridiculous.” He said, shaking Belphie’s shoulder. However, he noticed he was reverted to his demon form as he laid curled into himself, his long, cow-like tail wrapped protectively around his body. Lucifer gently rolled him over to get a look at his face when he noticed how much paler than usual he looked. His forehead was also covered in a sheen of sweat, his long, navy bangs plastered to his face. The Avatar of Sloth was shivering, even though he was wearing pajama pants and a long sleeved sleep shirt where dark patches formed from him sweating through his clothes. “Oh, Belphie.” Lucifer sighed, slipping off his glove and placing the back of his hand against his forehead. He definitely had a fever. As he contemplated what to do next, Belphie began to stir. He whined as he stretched, and his black and white eyelashes fluttered against his freckled cheeks. Lucifer sat on the edge of the bed as Belphie’s violet eyes finally met his. “Lucifer…” he rasped. “I’m sick.” Lucifer chuckled. “I can see that now. I’ve been yelling for you.” Belphie groaned, moving his arm to rest over his eyes, blocking out the low light of the attic. “Everything hurts. There’s no way I'm going to RAD today.” Lucifer nodded, reaching to pull his D.D.D. out of his pocket. “No, you are to stay here and rest. I’ll be informing Diavolo that neither of us will be there today.” Belphie moved his arm, blinking at Lucifer. “You aren’t going either?” Lucifer shook his head. “No, I’ll do some work from home while you rest. I want to make sure that someone is here with you in case you need anything.” Belphie gave him a small smile. He’s not sure if it's because he’s half delusional from the fever, or if Lucifer was actually being nice to him right now. 

Lucifer began to text Diavolo, taking his eyes off of Belphie for a second before hearing him groan, attempting to get out of bed. “Belphegor, just stay in bed for now okay? I’ll get you whatever you need.” Belphie stubbornly shook his head. “I want to go to my room, I’ll be fine.” Lucifer rolled his eyes, unsurprised by his little brother’s stubbornness. “I’ll carry you, come here.” Belphie was about to protest as he was scooped up into Lucifer’s arms. “H-Hey…!” he attempted to shout, but his throat was too sore and he decided to give up. He felt like a little kid again, being carried to bed after falling asleep somewhere after being too tired to go to bed himself. Lucifer began carrying him down the staircase, feeling the dampness from Belphie’s clothes. As they approached the twin’s room, he saw a familiar demon standing outside, about to enter. “Beel, what are you doing home?” Lucifer asked as Beel’s violet eyes widened at the sight of his twin in his arms. “I came home because I felt something was wrong with Belphie. Is he okay?” Lucifer nodded, stepping through the door and carrying Belphie over to his bed. He had started to fall back asleep on the way downstairs, most likely caused by the gentle swaying motions from being carried. Lucifer gently placed Belphie back down into his spot in bed, and stepped away to allow Beel to sit down next to his brother. “I thought something felt off this morning, but I didn’t think too much about it. I’m sorry Belphie…” Beel said, reaching out to move the bangs out of his eyes. Belphie whimpered at the touch, most likely sensing the presence of his twin. “I’ll leave you to him for now, I’m going to grab some medicine and a few other things.” Beel nodded, grateful that Lucifer had been here to care for him. “I’d like for you to get him a new change of clothes and get him settled. I’ll also grab a cold compress for his fever.” Beelzebub began to jump into action as Lucifer left the room. 

***

Beel wasn’t sure why, but he just had a gut feeling that something was wrong with Belphie that morning. But his twin was notorious for oversleeping, and he didn’t really give it much thought. That is, until he got to school and began to get a dizzying feeling in his head and his legs wobbled as they began to grow weak. Satan and Asmo noticed the change in his behavior immediately, and rushed to his side to steady him. “Beel! What’s the matter?” Asmo asked, his voice filled with concern. The only thing he could manage to get out before rushing home was, “Belphie.” And that’s how he ended up back at home by Belphie’s side, helping to bring down the intense fever that burned through his body. Belphie sighed as Beel placed the cool compress that Lucifer had brought by on his forehead. “Is that better?” he asked as he noticed Belphie begin to relax. “Yeah. Thanks Beel. I’m glad you’re here.” Now that Belphie was in a dry pair of pajamas and had some medicine in his system, he was beginning to perk up. Devildom medicine usually worked wonders, instantly clearing up most of the symptoms that were plaguing the body. “I’m glad I'm here too. I’m sorry I didn’t realize right away.” Belphie shook his head, hugging his cow pillow to his chest. “It’s okay, I didn’t realize how sick I was until Lucifer woke me up.” Beel nodded as he crawled into Belphie’s bed next to him. “I’m really glad that Lucifer was here for you.” Belphie let out a snicker, glancing over at his brother. “I hate to admit it, but…. Me too.” 

***

After sometime, Lucifer entered the room again to check on Belphie when he noticed that Beel had joined him in bed, and they were both sound asleep. He sighed, walking over to place another bottle of water and a packet of medicine on the nightstand before taking a seat on the edge of the bed. Beel, you’re going to get sick too, he thought. But he knew that Beel didn’t care, just as long as he was by Belphie’s side to take care of him. He sat in silence for a moment as he watched them sleep, thinking back to the old days in the Celestial Realm. When they were little, they always managed to get sick at the same time. Always together, he smiled. He remembered having to have Mammon help him carry them to their rooms, one twin in each of their arms, just as he did a little bit ago with Belphie. He remembered that Lilith was always doting on them when they were sick, cooking them warm meals that were gentle on the stomach, and constantly checking in on them to bring them anything that they needed. When they couldn’t sleep, she’d sing them a lullaby, her voice light and angelic. Even the memory was enough to send his spirits into the clouds, allowing any worries or troubles to be lifted from his shoulders. Lucifer closed his eyes, channeling the song that he always used to hear Lilith sing, and he began to hum. His voice was low, but smooth. Lilith always told him how much she adored his singing voice. As he hummed, he began to feel peace wash over him, blanketing the room with Lilith’s song. When he was finished, he opened his eyes to see Beel and Belphie still asleep, peaceful expressions on their faces. The song must have helped, since Belphie was no longer tossing and turning. Lucifer gave them one last smile before standing up and heading towards the door. “I shall return soon to check in on you both. Sweet dreams.”

War & Peace Leftovers

Based on this ask from @icecoffee90, she wanted a fic about Jackie & Bryce arguing over "eating all their food" and the roomies discussing "all the people they bring into their shared space."

Book: Open Heart (Book 2)

Characters: Jackie Varma, Bryce Lahela, F!MC (Casey), Elijah Greene, Aurora Emery, Sienna Trinh, Tobias Carrick (mentioned)

Rating: Teen

Words: 1,275

Summary: Jackie is looking forward to her first day off of work in longer than she can remember when Bryce unintentionally messes things up. After a meltdown, new rules are created.

A/N: I haven't written a "roomies chaos" fic in some time, and it was so much fun to do one again. I hope you enjoy it! Participating in @choicesmonthlychallenge 's August challenge by doing a throwback to the January challenge with the prompt "Friends."

OH Masterlist | My Full Masterlist

The life of a medical resident isn’t an easy one. But with a bit of creativity, there are ways to muddle through. One of the highlights? The rare, precious, and cherished day off, and today, Jackie Varma finally had one of those days. She hit snooze on her alarm clock five times... just because she could. She was about to hit it a sixth time just for fun when her eyes popped open. 

There was a very good reason to finally drag herself out of bed at noon: the delicious leftovers she had brought home last night. The hospital had hosted a luncheon and told everyone to take leftovers home. You don’t have to say that to a broke resident twice, especially when penne gorgonzola from Carmelina’s was among the offerings. The delicious delicacy definitely beat the instant ramen noodles she normally had for lunch. But that’s OK, she thought with a smile. Today, she had her leftovers.   

She thought about getting dressed, but this was her day off.  One of the highlights of this high holy day was sitting around in pajamas. Her roommates understood and had seen her in worse, so she wrapped her hair in a messy bun, slipped her feet into her fuzzy slippers, and off to the kitchen she went. She heard people conversing, and as nice as it would have been to have the place alone for a bit, she was used to living with four roommates, so she didn’t let it dampen her mood. Besides, she was about to have penne gorgonzola. If memory served, it tasted even better heated up the next day. She knew she was excited because she swore she could almost smell it, then she stepped into the kitchen and...

“Hey, Jackie!” Bryce flashed her his signature grin just before sticking his fork in the last piece of her precious penne. This was a declaration of war.

“Wha... what... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” She screamed so ferociously Elijah, Sienna, and Casey came running from their rooms. “What the HELL are you doing!?”

Bryce had no idea how a simple greeting could have escalated so quickly.

“Nothing!” He defended, eyes wide. “What’s wrong?”

Jackie was already at his side, not-so-playfully hitting her now-sworn enemy.

“YOU ATE MY FOOD! Do you have any idea how much I was looking forward to that?”

“Oh, I’m sor...”

“SAVE IT! That was penne gorgonzola from Carmelina’s!”

“I know,” Bryce replied sheepishly. “And it was delicious.”

Casey silently gave Bryce the “cut-it” signal, mouthing, “Not helping!”

“YOU DON’T EVEN LIVE HERE!” Jackie hollered. She turned to her roommates. “Why is he here! Who brought him here?” But before anyone could answer, she directed her ire back to Bryce. “WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS HERE?”

“OK, Jackie... simmer down,” Casey pleaded. “I know you’re pissed, but Bryce is our friend, and....”

“He was my friend,” Jackie snapped. “Past tense. Who comes into an apartment THAT IS NOT HIS and eats someone’s leftovers!”

“Jackie,” Sienna said nervously. “This isn’t entirely Bryce’s fault. He asked if he could have my leftovers, which were also in the fridge, and I said yes. I’m really sorry.”

“OK, so what are your leftovers? I’ll eat them.”

“Uh... a cheeseburger from McDonald’s...”

Jackie slumped into a chair with a sigh of frustration. Her head fell into her hands, and, to everyone’s shock, she began crying.

Elijah shook his head at Bryce. “Oh my God, you broke her!”

“OK! I’m really sorry, Jackie, but if we’re being fair, you ate the rest of my sea-salt caramel ice cream.”

“That was in OUR freezer! Why are you keeping your ice cream in OUR freezer!”

“Because he practically lives here,” Aurora yawned as she entered the kitchen. “What’s going on? You woke me up.”

“I’m glad you’re here, Aurora,” Jackie replied, ignoring her question.  “Because we need to set new rules in this place.”

“Jackie,” Bryce said sympathetically, “I’ll go on Uber Eats and order you another penne gorgonzola right now...”

“Forget it!” she said, holding up her hand. “Bryce.  I tolerate you and all, but why are you always here? You have your own apartment.  I’d KILL for my own apartment.  But no, I have to put up with these four, and you’re here so much you make it five. And Elijah...”

“What did I do?” Elijah asked nervously.

“Why is Baz here all the damn time playing video games... in the living room... next to where I am trying to sleep!”

“We can get headsets...”

“But why is he always here!?”

“Jackie,” Sienna jumped in. “It’s not bad for us to have our friends over.”

“No, it’s not,” Casey agreed. “But Jackie does have a point.”

“Says you!” Jackie barked.

“What do you mean?” Casey gasped.

“Do you think I need to see Tobias stumbling out of your room shirtless when I get up to pee at two a.m.!”

“What?” Aurora’s eyes lit up.  “Two a.m. is when that happens? Damn... I’ll have to set the alarm.”

“That’s my boyfriend, Aurora,” Casey teased.

“Oh, I don’t want him in the least! He’s all yours. But hey, eyecandy is eyecandy.”

“So,” Bryce asked, “if I take off my shirt more often when I come over, can I stay on the drop-in anytime list?”

“Yes!” Aurora said as all the others yelled, “No!”

Jackie turned to her with a look of disgust.  “When the hell did you become Miss Thirsty?”

“Ahh...” she shrugged. “I haven’t had a date in a while.”

“Guys,” Casey attempted to get everyone’s attention. “Can we go back to before my boyfriend was sexually objectified...”

“Guilty!” Aurora grinned.

“I was going to say, maybe we should have more rules about other people coming over.  No offense, Bryce.”

“Offence taken,” he nodded.

“I suppose it wouldn’t be the worst thing to have nights where we say no guests,” Sienna agreed.

“Quiet nights.” Aurora enthused. “That’s what we need, just nights where we know we can unwind a bit.”

“Since our schedules are so erratic, we can do them a month in advance...” Sienna offered.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Elijah agreed.  “Why don’t we have roomies meeting this weekend.  That doesn’t include you, Bryce.”

Bryce grasped his chest in mock horror.  “I’m hurt!”

“Or we could divide the rent by six, then you can come and go as you please,” Aurora smirked.

“Ehh, I can see you all at Donahue’s,” he smiled. “Jackie, I am really sorry about your leftovers.  But you know, if you ever want a little more privacy, you can use my apartment.  I’m almost never there.”

“We know,” they all said in unison.

“That’s so nice of you!” Elijah smiled.

“I was only offering it to Jackie,” Bryce winked.

“Bryce, I’m sorry for having a meltdown on you.  It’s just....”

“... just that you’ve slept ten hours in the past week, and you don’t always have much to look forward to, and I ... inadvertently ... took one of those rare treats away today.”

“Yeah,” Jackie smiled. “That.”

“I get it,” Bryce grinned. “You know, people always see my brilliance and this body, but they never see that I’m empathetic, too.”

“And humble,” Casey said, bumping his shoulder.  “Don’t forget, humble.”

Just then, the doorbell rang.  “Oh, no!” Casey said. “Who is dropping in now.”

“That would be the delivery man,” Bryce smiled.  “While you guys were having your roommate's legislation session, I ordered Carmelina’s for all of us.”

“You did!” Elijah grinned. “Hell, I say we have a rule that Bryce still gets to come over whenever he wants!”

“If he’s bringing food,” Jackie smiled.  “Thank you, Bryce.”

“Don’t mention it... roomie.”

Watched Jersey Shore

Cosplayed again

Wore yet another color coded outfit (emo inspired)

Watched a video from last year’s Passion conference

Watched one episode of a singular anime because my favorite voice actor guest starred in it

Sunday, January 5th

Workout

Skincare

Watched some Thomas Sanders

Online church

Daily chores

Wore my pajamas most of the day and changed into a fresh pair after I showered

So, that’s the first week of my January 2025.

Wins: Cosplayed a lot and created content even though i didn’t feel like it and it turned out good, did my skincare more than usual (used Ordinary serum, Glow Recipe toner, Byoma eye gel, and Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum), watched some nostalgic throwback movies and tv shows, put together an outfit I felt good about most days even though I wasn’t going anywhere, did a workout even though I wasn’t feeling it

Cons: watched too much media, spent more time than I wanted on TikTok

Parts of my ideal self that I embraced this week: Faith, Nostalgia, Creativity, Clean Girl, Emo, LGBT-aligned (Thomas Sanders)

I’ve managed to make small changes in just five days and I intend to continue this momentum!
