Poly+ SJM Week M.A.S.H.!

You know it, you love it. But have you ever played a version with the possibility for multiple partners across the Maasverse? Now you can!

Your number is your month and day of birth added together (01/02 = 1+2). If you don't want to use your birthday for privacy reasons, feel free to use this random number generator to get a number from 1-30.

To play, start at the first numbered option and count each of the category options until you reach your number. Cross off the option you land on. Play through the first block to discover your story, leaving one option per category. If you have mates, play through the second, stopping when the number of options left equals the number of mates from part 1. Unlike part 1, it does not matter what column the results are in, just cross them off until you're left with your mates!

Post your story and finished board using the hashtag: #poly+sjmweekMASH.

We can't wait to see where this adventure takes you! You could even use it as inspiration for a fic. 👀

And we can't wait to see what you share for the event in JUST TWO WEEKS!

This is how Manon de-stresses

[nevermindirah]

what if Nile didn't join the Marines, because when she was in her early 20s she got pregnant and she decided to roll with it and become a mom. sometimes birth control fails, it happens. she's actually not sure who the dad is — she'd been casually seeing a few people and we're not gonna slut shame her for that.

she'd been thinking about following in her dad's footsteps by joining the Marines, but what if she could follow in her dad's footsteps by becoming a rock-solid goofball of a parent to a kid of her own. what if she did one better than her dad by not joining the Marines so she wouldn't be called away from her kid for some stupid war. what if that.

her mom and brother helped out so much while she was pregnant and in her kid's first years. thanks to all that support she was able to go to school. she'd always loved music but had never really considered it as a career — and wow is performing the opposite of the kind of career she was looking for. what she needed was stable and flexible, and that's what led her to audio engineering.

her baby is 6 years old now and going to full-day big kid school! in Toronto, where they moved last year. Nile got a great job with a production company that does a lot of bilingual work for Canadian audiences. her French is getting so good, and so is her kid's.

she's made some friends and her mom visits pretty often and she's starting to feel pretty settled into her single-mom life where a big Saturday night is bedtime routine with her kid followed by a blissful few hours of quiet she usually spends painting.

she meets all kinds of people at work, including a lot of models, which is fun, but not really her speed. or so she thinks.

you see, there's this one guy. he's pretty, sure, just like all the others. then one day he comes into the studio to play the dad in a series of ads for a bread company.

during breaks she chats with him around the coffee bar like she often does with cast and crew, only today she finds herself flirting. shit, he's flirting back. oh damn, they're full-on vibing. she finishes her work day with a smile on her face and listens to an upbeat sexy playlist on her walk to the subway.

she's nodding along to the music as she waits for the train when she looks up and guess who's there also waiting on the same platform. he smiles at her and gives a cute little wave. you know what, why the hell not, she thinks as she takes off her headphones and walks over to him.

their vibing from earlier continues and grows as they wait for the train and board together, but it still takes her by surprise when he asks if he can take her out on a date. and that's what he says, too. so formal. it's cute, somehow. so is the look of genuine interest on his face when she a little bit snarkily asks how he'd feel about taking her out for an afternoon at the park with her 6 year old.

"I'd love to," he says. "picnic basket, toss a ball around— I could make papa's specialty baloney ketchup?"

Nile laughs at the reference to the dish from the ad they'd shot a dozen times earlier that day. "do you have kids too?"

he shakes his head. "no, just on tv. kids are great though." after a pause his smile goes a little wistful, and he adds, "maybe someday."

all of a sudden her hormones are getting a lot of ideas. whoa girl, someday is not today, she tries telling herself. to him, she says, "how about we start with dinner for just us grownups?"

I've been watching a lot of CBC recently, and in between all the Buy Canadian ads (solidarity y'all! sorry my government's a nightmare) and contextually extra cringe ads for Ford I kept seeing these charming as hell bread ads. I kept thinking what if that old man was NILE's old man!! thanks Canada <3

i think a lot of you are using the word “theory” when what you really mean is “head cannon”. be brave. that thing can be true for you too if you simply write fanfiction

For years now it's been known that game developer / movie aficionado -

though no love for SALTBURN as he normally leaves a comment post-watch, but nothing for THE BEST PICTURE OF 2023.

Hideo Kojima has fancast Luca Marinelli as Solid Snake for "Metal Gear",

well now Kojima has put him as another character - Neil in "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach".

The game also stars Norman Reedus, directors George Miller and Nicolas Winding Refn, Elle Fanning, Mrs. Luca Marinelli, Alissa Jung

and my tatted up comedy hero, MAD TV alum Debra Wilson.

#22.2 Tags

Endorsi tapped her shoe impatiently. "And the prize is?"

"You can exchange it for some points, or use these tags to get private time with a person of your choice." Mask winked at no one in particular. "I know some of you are friends with Bam and Grace. And given that you haven't seen them for years, perhaps you might have something that needs to be said privately. There will be a buffet held after the game, and everyone can talk and socialize freely then. But let me tell you this; the chance of you having a private face to face conversation with them after today will be very low. So be sure to use this opportunity well."

Endorsi suddenly remembered the date that Bam owed her. Maybe this could be her chance? Having Bam for herself sounded fair enough to be considered a date. She wondered how much Bam had changed, and she was curious if she still held the same feelings towards him. Guess she would find out soon.

"Note that they're only valid until today. The white tags are worth three minutes each, while the black ones are worth ten minutes."

Endorsi wanted to throw hands. "The heck?! That's too short!" She quickly decided that the private date time wasn't worth it.

"Not interested." Anaak stated plainly, having the same thought. 

"Oh, that's not all." Mask called out his nearby lighthouse and the screen lit up. "I did say that these tags could also be exchanged for some points."

The amounts displayed on Mask's lighthouse made Endorsi's eyes bulge. Sure, it was still comparable to her monthly earnings, but one day of photoshoots wasn't even worth that much. This guy must be filthy rich in order to be able to give out much. "However, there will only be four black stickers in total."

She hadn't even started to do the math when Shibisu raised his hand. "Why four? There are six people on your team."

"Good question." Mask motioned to himself and the other three guys that she didn't bother to remember the names of. "Only us four will participate in the tag game. Grace and Bam don't have tickets because they have a different role."

Endorsi raised an eyebrow, not that she actually cared.

"Remember that those that don't have the tag during the game will be unable to move? Grace and Bam are in charge of it. They will also make sure that this game will not cause any major casualties to the players."

Endorsi suddenly remembered that Bam could use reverse flow control. Grace however…she didn't know much about him. She realized that Grace was surprisingly tight-lipped about his past, for someone who was bad at lying. Thinking back about it, he was absent during the crown game, and he hadn't shown anything noteworthy during the hide and seek game. Bam often bragged about how Grace helped him in class, though, so maybe he was that capable? It wasn't so hard to believe; Grace always looked so self-assured and dependable.

However, there was something different about how he treated her compared to the others, like how he quickly looked away when she caught his gaze, or how he was slightly nervous when talking to her. But she always reasoned that it was only natural that men would fall for her beauty and status, since she was a Jahad princess and all. When she took into account that Grace was already taken, it made even more sense on why he was so awkward and conflicted when interacting with her. She had to admit it was really fun to tease him back then, though she never called him out on it.

"Are there any other questions?" Mask asked, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Khun and Isu asked for some clarifications on the rules, but Endorsi tuned them out, too busy indulging in the thought of the prize points. One black and one white tag should be enough to buy the designer dress she saw the other day. And since Laure most likely wasn’t interested in anything other than sleep, could she ask him to give her his tag so she could use it with Grace? It would be really fun to take Grace away from Mask and make him jealous. Speaking of Mask…

"Five minutes–" Endorsi caught his words– "to discuss amongst yourselves before I start the game."

One of the floating blue lighthouses started a five-minute countdown, and Khun called everyone to gather. However, Endorsi decided to spare a glance to where Mask went.

She saw Mask greeted his team who had started doing warm up moves, while some were not so subtly glancing in her direction. Mask then started typing on his lighthouse, and she saw the training room slowly turned into a fighting stage with just a few commands of his hands. The barrier that covered the room pulsed as if being strengthened, moving platforms and obstacles were created out of thin air–

Khun cleared his throat, and Endorsi noticed she wasn't the only one that was watching the room transformation unfold. "Okay. Listen up everyone."

You might have noticed I REALLY like Tales games so of course I’m overjoyed about the Graces port !!!

[lyriawhitethornnomore]

It makes my blood boil everytime I see people on booktok accusing both Lauren Roberts and Rebecca Yarros of plagiarising Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen series, but they would gloss over Sarah J Maas's plagiarism calling it inspiration.

It's easy to call Powerless trilogy a Red Queens ripoff and saying that Violet Sorrengail is Mare Barrows copycat but somehow it's hard for some people to admit that:

Erawan (one of togs antagonists) is Sauron 2.0.

Manon Blackbeak = Targaryen copycat (specifically Visenya)

But you know in sjm's case they are just fantasy tropes that you can find in other books
