#we love the 3rd years in this household

[northopalshore]

Hello love!!🐉

Would love to see your take on stelliums in solar return charts! Thank you for giving us so much knowledge about astro <3

LOVE YOUR BLOG. PERIOD.

♀ Hello! Thank you for your support ♡

Stelliums in the

Solar Return Chart

Stelliums are always a sign that this year is going to naturally draw you /force you into focusing on that aspect of your life (where the stellium is). There will be a lot of changes, & development which also means this year will be very significant for you growth wise. Usually, also points to a "milestone" being achieved. Though it doesn't have to be that way.

Note: planets or asteroids in retrograde can signify things from the past resurfacing, a time for reevaluations, & revelations to take place. You are going to close a chapter of you life that doesn't serve you anymore.

🍧 In the signs & the houses ࿐

Aries @ the 1st house

A lot of your focus & events surrounding this year will be related to yourself, whether through making more direct decisions, being more stubborn or selfish (whether in a good way or bad). You may feel quicker to react to things, quick to anger, quick to defend yourself. Things around you may seem very hectic and fast paced. Headaches may be quite prominent this year. You may find yourself participating in a lot of competitions as well, or competition in general is a reoccurring theme throughout your year.

Taurus @ the 2nd house

Money, work, aesthetics and your home life will be impactful this year. You may start gaining a lot of income, or focus on gaining said income in the first place. You may be more focused on the things you choose to buy, and more possessive of things that you own. You might be transforming the way you look or even reshape your idea of what you truly value, whether that'd be material or through your connections. Spending a lot of money is very likely as well. You may start writing this year too. Starting a small business, or talking/singing more.

Gemini @ the 3rd house

So, this year is when you will be blessed with a lot of creativity in terms of writing. You may have the urge to communicate more or to express your thoughts, fantasies, creativity and emotions through words; whether that'd be through writing or talking. If Neptune is here, you may start writing fanfiction or even create something like songs or a draft for your books for example. If Pluto is here, you will be transforming they way that you speak or write, or express yourself. Taking a more methodical approach. You could start having a very online presence as well.

Ex: I had a 3rd house Stellium in my 2019 SRC. This was the year I started working on my journals, they were written with the intention to give to my FS one day as a "other side pov". Sort of like the Midnight Sun to Twilight lmao. I definitely yapped a lot (I finished 3 books that year).

Cancer @ the 4th house

There may be something very significant happening in your home life, whether in your house or your parents house. There could be an additional family member for example, or your parents may decide to do a lot of activities together this year. There could also be big fights within the household depending on the sign or planets present (almost guaranteed if Scorpio is here). You may spend a lot of time at home, or with your family this year. You may also get easily sentimental too.

Leo @ the 5th house

This year may be filled with creative endeavors. You could be more extroverted this year, meeting new friends or acquaintances, there may few a few romantic interest for you this year as well, though they may not be that serious i.e crushes, flings.

Ex: I remember the last time I had a 5th house Stellium, I was either in a creative competition or at home drawing all day & night lmaoo it was in Capricorn too. I also met my first and only crush that year (although we never got in a relationship, we only met during the competition and never exchanged numbers). He was a prince charming like boy. He was really nice to me & playful but very gentle. Also, I heard he played the violin damnn. That was a long time ago though. I don't think I'll see him again.

Virgo @ the 6th house

This year, you will be very immersed in your work. It could mean your studies, your career or even a passion project. Whatever it is, this year is the year you'll actually feel "involved" or connected to what you're doing. Taking your work more seriously, trying to reach certain goals you might be itching to obtain. People may look to you for help or guidance quite often this year. You may be the "reference" person of they year. It seems like everything you do it right, or praised for some reason. Especially if Venus is here.

Libra @ the 7th house

There's going to be a lot of things going on within your relationships & close circles but also within business partnerships. It's not just strictly about love. You may be more attached to your friends this year or the people around you i.e spending more time with them or having a significant arc with them for example. You may encounter specific person or company or "muse" that may push you to grow or realize something as well.

Scorpio @ the 8th house

It's likely going to be one of the most painful years of your life (at least until it happens again). Your whole world may feel like it's falling apart and there is nothing you can do. I feel like we all go through this at least once during our adolescent years; a huge shift of perspective happens. Suddenly the world is much gloomier than usual, and now you're able to see the darkness of it all lmao.

In adulthood however, it's likely that you may feel like you have nothing going in your favor. Death after death, failure after failure. This is likely a "rock bottom" stage. Though as they say, the only good thing about hitting rock bottom, is that there is nowhere else to go but up. If you have been putting any "awakenings" or have been in denial of something especially related to you ego, then this year will be especially excruciating for you.

Ex: I had another 8th house Stellium in 2017 & 2018 (two years straight waow). It was in Sagittarius then in pisces . This time, I started really dividing into astrology, a lot of my time was consumed with deeply challenging & introspective thoughts. I began diving into the metaphysical world more. It was also the year I got the most nightmares & dreams about my FS for some reason. I started being "haunted" by his presence. But during this time, I was a massive tsundere lmaoo. I just didn't understand the significance it had, so it drove my logical thinking into a spiral.

Sagittarius @ the 9th house

This is one of those years where education is your tour de force. It may seem like your brain just grew twice its size, I'm kidding lmaooo. You may be keen to start learning something new this year, whether it'd be a language, a course or through religion. Higher studies are highlighted but if you aren't interested in education, then it's likely concerning expansion in general. Look at what sign is here for more context. The core of this SRC placement however, is to challenge the way you have been living before this. Shaking things up by adding new things in your life whether it'd be a new routine, a hobby or even just the way you think.

Ex: I had an 8th house Stellium in 2013. That was when I moved houses & schools for the 3rd - 4th time I think? It was in a different town, closer to my grandmother (mother's side).

Capricorn @ the 10th house

Ding ding ding. You've guessed it! This year is going to be very impactful for your career. You may feel quick to tire this year, and new competition may arise in your work field, you may be working on a passion project, betting all your chips on the table. Fire will be placed under your feet, and you may feel like everything has to happen now. Working and expanding yourself. You will be perfecting your craft, and gaining recognition for your hard work. You may sharpen your strategies for growth or for future plans this year, taking on more responsibility

Aquarius @ the 11th house

There will be a lot of shake ups for you this year, it could be exciting changes; gaining popularity or online recognition. Finally starting that project you've been holding up for months or even years. The one that's been itching your brain. Though, it can also mean that your friends or your peers will have a substantial role this year. You could be gaining more friends, going through many friendships or friend groups, working on team projects for example.

Pisces @ the 12th house

Similar to the 8th house, where it means you're going to be put through a lot of challenges this year, specifically emotional loss and loneliness. You may feel incredibly hopeless this year which could come from your sense of being alienated or just at a different place mentally when compared to your peers. You may feel easily exhausted, hurt and betrayed. Though it might also mean a year of being kept in the dark about something. Usually comes with a few losses that you'll experience, whether it'd be friendships, family members, lovers or even death. Though it also means that you're going to be more aligned with your spiritual side.

It's not all bad however, this year will teach you to let go of the things that have haunted you up to this point, to explore uncharted territory whether that'd be physically, mentally or emotionally. Travel may be prominent this year as well, but moving specifically is more significant.

[aziraphales-library]

Hi all! Thank you very much for all of your hard work. I've glad for this account since there is always something fun to read popping up. Can the Mods recommend any fics where either Aziraphale or Crowley use dating apps for any reason?

Hello. You'll find fics like this, including some of the fics listed here, on our #social media tag, but here are some dating app specific fics...

Bloggers, Baby! by Estrella3791 (T)

Crowley's a blogger, and he may or may not be developing a crush on his commenters. But he's not really - Oh, what's this? Angel1941 is on Tinder??

Oh, Lord, Heal This Love by WaitingToBeBroken (T)

"Looking for someone to take to couples therapy and see how long it takes the therapist to notice we don't know each other," is what Crowley's dating profile says. Too bad Aziraphale was too busy staring at those graceful fingers in his picture to realise that, before he agreed to go on a date with him.

abide by me by cosmya (T)

The year is 2001. Crowley runs a fake marriage website, and Aziraphale has encountered a... problem that requires his services. Naturally, they have No Idea that it's each other at first, but when Aziraphale proves a difficult client, Crowley takes matters into his own hands.

Dim the Lights and Sing You Songs by Polaris (E)

A few months prior to leaving the Dowling household, Crowley had downloaded Grindr for the sole purpose of catfishing randy morons. He was not expecting a paragraph that began with: ‘hello. I hope you don’t think this is too forward, but I couldn’t help but notice you have the most lovely nipples.’ Crowley keeps trying to meet his Grindr fuckbuddy. Aziraphale keeps showing up at all his meeting spots. This is terrible.

MatchMade! by amaruuk (E)

Crowley tests a new dating app for an online publication. When his match dumps him for another man's match, he and his fellow dumpee take a chance on each other.

With Potential by Caedmon (E)

Aziraphale is an author of popular and successful romance novels. His books have done very well, so he's surprised when his publisher, Gabriel, comes in and tells him that they expect him to start including explicit sex scenes instead of just the fade-to-black he's been writing. Aziraphale argues a bit, but it's pointless. Gabriel isn't asking, he's telling. And now Aziraphale is in a pickle. He doesn't have a wide swath of sexual experience to pull inspiration from. So his assistant, Anathema, helpfully suggests that he download some dating apps and seek someone to hook up with for casual sex. Aziraphale is appalled by the idea of casual sex at first, and thinks that this plan is going to go absolutely nowhere, but agrees to give it a try. Three guesses what happens next.

The Grindr Logo Doesn't Even Have a 'G' In It by indieninja92 (E)

After the Apocalypse, Aziraphale ventures into a new space in the gay milieu - Grindr. There he starts talking to a charming young man who certainly doesn't bear any resemblance at all to a certain long streak of demon, not one bit, no thank you. Meanwhile, Aziraphale and Crowley navigate their friendship after the world failed to end. There is much drinking and silliness, but could it be that there are other feelings lurking underneath?? Of course there are, this is fanfic.

The Mathematical Improbability of Reaching the Stars by cassieoh, D20Owlbear (M)

Aziraphale, 3rd year doctoral candidate in Library Sciences and current failure at Astronomy 101, finds out about an app for meeting people from some undergraduates. He’s desperate for a tutor so he decides to try it out. Surely someone in the wilds of Tinder is willing to help him learn about the stars? Meanwhile, in said wilds of Tinder, Crowley (high school dropout, star enthusiast, and official garden center plant-harasser) is not really looking for anything past dinner and maybe ‘tea’ back at their place. Hijinks, and also a surprisingly intricate plot, ensue.

“I got all these feelings that I am masking”

Pt.1

Fratboy!Chris and y/n have a few classes together in their sophomore year of high school, Chris ofc doesn’t care about school and only goes to party’s and messes with girls.

With love and respect,ME

I am sitting in my 3rd period class which is math and all I can think about is how stupid this sub sounds,I mean com on he doesn’t even know if we are sitting in the right spots,you already know that all the popular boys sat with each other in the back of the class laughing at stupid stuff probably making fun of people.

”bruh look at her arms dude”this one guy said pointing at my arms and laughing,even though it was very quiet and no one eles heard it I did because I am sitting a little to close to them for my liking .I quickly put my arms on my lap and scoot my chair in.

“Yo that not cool”a male voice says in a loud wispier but still loud enough that people start to stare in the direction.”what?”the same voice is heard obviously wanting everyone to mind their own business.

“Chris s-stu-uh whatever your last name is-“the teacher says putting his attention on the back of the class.

I turn around to look at the boy getting lectured,he doesn’t even have a scared of guilty face on him just a stupid smirk.

“It’s sturniolo”Chris says,he leans into in table and nods.

“Well you boy need to get out and stop making such a scene”the teacher says Chris just licks his lips and smirks, that stupid fucking smirk.he thinks he just so cool but in reality he’s annoying,well kind of, the fact that he dropped what that boy said about me was really sweet but I mean yk how boys are all sweet one second then the next their the living demon.

”alright whatever”Chris stands up putting his pencil in his bag,putting it on his shoulder.he looks at me before walking off giving me a light smile I could tell it was his way of saying sorry,but I just nod and go back to listening.

One week later

Fall break has finally begun and I have hung out with some of my friends mostly Leah, apparently she met one of Chris’s brothers, Nick at her new job and they work together. She says he’s really nothing like Chris he’s funny, kind, and iconic.shes been wanting me to meet him so badly and honestly I would love to but I am just scared of running into his brothers.

“Y/n let’s go out”Leah says breaking into my room causing me to jump.

“You could’ve knocked jeez”I say rolling my eyes and laughing to my self”where do you wanna go out Leah?”i sit up and giggle

she walks up and shakes my shoulders. “lighten up cranky head”she takes a seat next to me.”just a party, and I don’t care what you say, your going”she smiles and begins to walk towards my door.

“Ughh fine”I sigh rolling my eyes in a playful manner”when though?”i get up off my bed and grab my phone of my desk

“At 6:00”she says walking out my room”so get ready!!”she yells.

The sound of loud music and people talking is enough for me to wanna leave.i haven’t been a huge party people but i have been to a few in my life and all of them end up badly.”y/n come on you ready?”I snap out of my thought and nod as I begin to walk towards the door.”let’s go find Nick!”she grabs my hand and pulls me towards the crowd of people as we make our way through.

“Sorry!” I yelled to people as I walked by.

“Oh I see him!”she says finally letting go of my hand. As we got to the end of the crowd i saw nick waving us over.he looked like Chris but still different features. He dressed differently and he had more pricings, he also had shorter hair that was just a little darker than Chris.

“Hey girl!”nick pulled Leah into a hug then he hugged me”your y/n right”Nick asks.

“Yup that’s me,it’s nice to meet you”I smile”yes I have been wanting her to meet you so bad!”leah says giggling.

Nick smiles in a sweet manner then turning to me “Also y/n don’t you have a class with Chris?”Nick asks and I nod. “Sadly” i roll my eyes in a joking manner”why?” I ask.

Nick looks around before saying“Because he’s talked about you before in a good way though”he laughs”he thinks your cute or something”he nudges my shoulder.

“Oh i doubt that he’s probably joking”I blow it off obviously trying to change the subject. Leah noticed this”ok well how about we get some drinks!?”she then laughs and grabs me 3 cups for the three of us.

“Yo Nick can I use your bathroom?”I voice comes up behind me which causes me to turn around to see Chris there and i immediately turn back around and look at the ground. “Oh hey y/n”he smiles down at me.”hi” I say quietly smiling back at him.

Nick looks at him and smirks which causes Chris to blush “yeah sure Chris, just don’t bring one of your hoes with you” Chris gives Nick a look of annoyance then looks at me and smiles as he walks away.”see he’s not that bad”Nick lightly slaps my shoulder playfully.

“Yeah I am not getting with him never in a million years”I scoff and take a sip out of my cup.”I have learned not to date frats trust me”I say to Nick with wide eyes leah laughs.

“Oh boy I mean you have a point”she begins”but you never know y/n”leah winks at me,I just roll my eyes”whatever”I smile with a light Sade of pink on my face,tbh I don’t know why I am blushing but I mean Chris is very attractive but that doesn’t mean I would get with him…right?….

Chris’s POV

I see y/n with Nick and her other friend I don’t know why I have this pull to her but I just do I mean why, I got all these girls on their knees for me, so why don’t they matter anymore? I mean she’s not like other girls, she’s actually funny,she try’s in school and most definitely doesn’t do hookups, I only know that because her ex boyfriend told us that she was a virgin when they dated and he ended up taking it,apparently that wasn’t enough so when she said no to the second time he got mad and cheated on her then she broke up with him. Honestly I fucking hate his guts, he’s stuck up and rude I don’t even know why I am friends with him, most importantly I don’t know why I even care about y/n’s feelings so much, to be fair I do have a heart I just can’t show it,I just mask it all.

I began to walk over to Nick,I tell my friends I will be back “Yo Nick can I use your bathroom?”I walk right up to y/n to make sure I get her attention”oh hey y/n”I smile down at her.

“Hi”she says quietly with a soft smile

“Yeah sure Chris,just don’t bring one of your hoes with you”as soon as he says that I glare at him, I look at y/n and look back at him and shake my head as a warning sign.

I began to walk away and I kind of smile to myself. Even the small looks that I can get form y/n makes me nervous.

Ask soon as I enter the bathroom I just look in the mirror thinking “I wanna treat her right” all these thoughts of me possibly having a tiny crush on her scares me but I should get a move on if I actually see myself with her..right?

2 days later

Y/n POV

Me,Nick,and Leah have been talking, we saw each other yesterday at lunch it was chill we just talked,but one thing that stayed on my mind was when Nick said”Chris asked me if you had a problem with him” I honestly didn’t have one but I just think he’s like all the other boys but he hasn’t done anything to me personally and that’s what I said. Leah thinks he is interested in me but who knows it’s whatever…

Ding…my phone buzzed Leah definitely texted me about going out or something…but I was worng it was just a random number

The message reads:

“It’s Chris and Ik this I really random but do you wanna come over for a small get together at my house”

“How tf?”I ask my self.

“How’d you get my number?”I text back clearly confused.

“Nick”he says”but still do you wanna come you can bring Leah if you want”he says.

“No chris, I don’t even talk to you”I text back,maybe it was a little tube but I was truthful plus he just randomly texted me and I am not the one who gave him my number so that means he clearly asked for it.

“Come on ma,it will be fun”I cringe at the stupid nickname and shake my head.

“Don’t call me that”I put my phone down to rub my eyes still cringing form the nickname.

I hear my phone ding again so I pick it up to see another message form Chris.“Yes ma’am”.i blush slightly form the nickname,i definitely like that one better.

“But pls come I want you there”he begins to type something out but then stops”address”he gives me the address of the house.

“Fine when is it”I text back. It feels weird that I am giving in knowing I am going to regret this but I mean I can’t say no to him….ew no y/n stop.

“Tomorrow at 6” I nod and turn off my phone and going to the living room grab my keys and head to the library knowing it’s time for me to start a new book and maybe get some study in.

A/N:I know how boring this is but the next part will be good I promise.this is also my first fic so it probably bad and part 2 might come out tonight if not it will tomorrow.okay bye now ily💕💕

Pumpkin: Pedro Pascal x female reader

You and Pedro try to help your daughter find a Halloween costume.

WARNINGS: none just plain fluff and trying to help your daughter find a Halloween costume.

"Okay. 1, 2, 3, … come show daddy!"

Your 3-year-old, Lyla, comes barreling from around the corner, in her miniature pumpkin costume. She stops in front of where Pedro is seated on the couch, twirling around to hear his approval.

It was only October 3rd, but Halloween has always been a massive deal in the household, even more so with the arrival of your eldest daughter.

What once consisted of cheesy couple costumes and going out with friends has turned into cheesy family costumes and trick-or-treating.

You personally were beyond excited for this year, seeing how Lyla was finally old enough to understand how Halloween works.

Your husband finally uncovers his eyes and coos at the sight of his daughter.

He leans down to pick her up, both laughing from the happiness of being in each other's presence. It was no secret to anyone that Lyla was a huge Daddy's girl,

only wanting to be around her father from the minute she was born. It was no different on Pedro's side, having wrapped him around her chubby, miniature finger the moment he looked into her wide, hazel eyes.

The two are inseparable, and while jealousy might creep in from time to time, you're still undeniably grateful that Pedro is as overwhelmingly devoted to Lyla as he is.

“You two are so cute!" You melt, watching the two mess around.

"So cute, Mommy!" Lyla confirms, giggling at the raspberries Pedro is blowing onto her cheeks. Pedro reaches out for your waist, pulling you to join them on the couch.

"What do you think, Lyla? Do you like this one?" You ask, watching as she tilts her head in thought. She's always been annoyingly independent for her age, so this year,

you allowed her full control of picking her costume. You bought a ton and figured you could always just return the rejects. So far, she's on costume 6 out of 10, and you're just praying she makes a decision soon, so you don't have to make another trip to the Halloween store. Unfortunately, she shakes her head no and hops out of both your laps.

"Why not, bug? I thought you wanted to be a pumpkin like Charlie Brown." Pedro asks gently, hoping to sway his daughter into making a decision. He had given up his Saturday to watch his daughter play dress up, and while there wasn't much that he wouldn't do for Lyla, he was more than ready to move on with the day.

"No, Daddy. I want to be a ghost-like Charlie Brown." Lyla corrects, rolling her eyes like she couldn't believe her father's mistake. Pedro swears she picked up that habit from you.

"But you didn't like the ghost costume either," Pedro whines, growing frustrated with the toddler's indecisiveness. He loves his daughter endlessly, but three hours of costume-picking is enough to irritate anyone.

"Okay, Lyla. Why don't you go to your room and put on the next costume? It's the Tiana one, remember!" You suggest softly. Lyla perks up at the mention of her favorite princess and runs back into her room, leaving you and Pedro alone. You settle into his side, twisting his wedding band out of habit.

"You know she gets that from you, right?" He says. You snort, turning to look at him.

"That's funny because she's your shadow. If anything, she's all you." He laughs at your response, pulling you so you're even closer to him. You both look at each other for a moment, before he lets out a breath of air.

"Is it crazy that I want another one?" He asks softly. You pause, not saying anything to interrupt wherever your husband's mind is headed. "Like, I love the three of us, but what if we could do it again? You know the diapers, the first words, first steps, arguing with them over their own Halloween costume?" He gestures around him at that.

Your heart swells. Admittedly, you had been thinking about having another baby now that Lyla is starting to get older. You've started missing having a newborn in the house but were unsure how to bring it up to your husband, worried that he might reject you. However, you should've suspected that Pedro "I want a football team of children" would be itching to have another kid soon.

"Do you really want this?" You ask, making sure this isn't a whim before you tell him what you think.

"Well, I mean, really, it's up to you. But yeah, it would be nice to have another mini-running around here. Plus, Lyla would love to have a friend." He offers, already placing his hand over your stomach.

"I have always wanted a boy." You must, already picture future siblings and matching Halloween costumes. Pedro brightens at this, pulling you into a hug with small tears forming in his eyes. He pulls away to slightly wipe his eyes before he hears the tiny pitter-patter of feet coming down the hallway.

"What's wrong, daddy?" Lyla questions, concern written all over her tiny face from seeing her father's tears. She walks towards Pedro in a green, sparkly dress with a plush frog under her arms, reaching up for him to pull her into his lap.

"Nothing bug, just happy I have everything I've ever wanted." He admits, pulling Lyla up to join your two's huddle. And with the two loves of your life in your arms, you agree.

Been thinking...

So, because of the absence of brozone's parents in the 3rd movie, we assume that they either were killed or terrible parents, so comes in John having to raise his siblings (presumably) by himself. Their grandma probably not being much help.

We usually talk about the stress and impact it probably had on John, suddenly having to step us as the leader of the household at such a young age, but what about Bruce - the second oldest?

Bruce probably witnessed the change of character of John, watching his brother force himself to mature. From being a goofy and playful older brother who loved to sleep in, to someone who'd already be busy in the morning and somehow always tired, a sad look evident in his eyes. Especially when their younger brothers started to enter the picture.

He would notice how there would already be breakfast on the table once he awakes, how JD would immediately take action whenever either Clay or Floyd would start to cry or throw a tantrum, immediately running to their side cheering them up, and how the eldest would always be the last to sleep and the first to wake up the next day.

He'd also witnessed John start Brozone, and he'd do his best to help, just wanting to see his brother genuinely smile again. All he wanted was to see the brother who would give him piggyback rides every morning as their mom would make breakfast, the brother who'd easily laugh at his jokes and make funny faces all the time, the brother who'd chase him around the pod then proceeding to tickle him relentlessly once he caught him. He just wants his older brother back. To see him again.

But after years passed, and his younger brothers started to get involved in the boyband and a new baby arrives (Branch), that hope started to feel impossible. John was now annoying, controlling, and obsessed with being perfect. Barely thinking about the well-being of others at this point, his only goal is to please the fans and make sure Brozone is in top shape.

Bruce hated this. He hated the toxicity weighing down their relationship as brothers. He hated always being told to do better because it's always never enough. He hated John, and it hurts him to feel that way towards his first friend, and now first enemy.

And so you bet it broke his heart immensely when the boyband broke up, and that John was the first to leave. Not even leaving with a proper goodbye or a guarantee that he's coming back. Not even bothering to look back at any of his brothers, not even to him.

But even if he was so angry and tired of his shit that night, a distant part of his heart sobbed when John left the pod. If he didn't have self-control and pride, he'd probably just break down there and then. But instead, he also walked out, desperate to leave and finally be able to breathe again.

Fast forward to 20 years later, you bet it took every bit of Bruce's willpower not to tackle John in a tight hug once he laid his eyes on him again. Despite the heartaches and tears JD had caused in the past, he was still his brother, and he may not admit it out loud, but he still loves John, so much, and he missed him, so so badly.

--

Hi! So i just had an idea and knew I had to write about it right away!

John and Bruce's dynamic as siblings is totally underrated and smth we need to talk about more often ^ i love them both sm and i'd love to see them together more often and know of their relationship with one another <3

[Also i headcanon that Bruce called John Johnny as a kid, and when he calls him that now that they're older, JD is smitten and moved to tears]

Thxs for reading! Thoughts?

🌱🩷: 3rd story for the Christmas series. This will have some cute, platonic fluff

Relationship: Isagi Yoichi x Sister!Yn (platonic) (mentions of romantic Oliver Aiku x Yn)

Warnings: Reader uses she/her.

⚽️Blue Lock belongs to Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura ⚽️

🎄Dec 12th🎄

Christmas time in the Isagi household was always a warm and welcoming time. Both parents would always buy the presents they knew both (Y/n) and Yoichi wanted the whole year, and the kids would try their best to do the same in return with the allowance money. For (Y/n) she loved the time she spends with her family. After Yoichi started pursuing football professionally and left Japan to play for a team in Spain, she started looking forward to the holidays where Yoichi would be home for a week or two.

And as for Yoichi, he missed his sister and parents, the daily talks and meals they would share. And well, Christmas was the one thing he looked forward to a lot, and a specific tradition him and (Y/n) had since they were 14-15.

🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️

'I wonder what we will bake this year. Hope it involves chocolate.' Yoichi thought while his dad drove him home from the airport.

"And, how was it in Spain the past few months? We watched the last match you had. I don't know what was happening, but I can see you enjoyed yourself a lot." Issei spoke up, causing Yoichi to look at him with a grin.

"Yep! It was great, the team we played against was tough to crack, but we made it in the end. It was a good way to start off the season. How are you and mom?"

"We have been good. Mom is home, preparing dinner like crazy since Oliver will be joining is this Christmas as well."

"Oh yeah, (Y/n) mentioned it a few nights ago when we talked. Did they arrive yet?"

"Not yet. Their flight had to be delayed because of a storm."

"Oh... I hope they come home soon." Yoichi muttered, a little worried, but he knew everything will be fine.

🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️

Once back home, Isagi and his parents ate the dinner Iyo prepared and Isagi talked about his recent shenanigans and games in Spain. Iyo and Issei would sometimes chime in with a few questions, which Isagi would gladly answer to them. After they finished dinner, Isagi helped his mom pick up the dirty plates, and then went to rummage through the cabinet where the pans and other baking utensils were.

"Yo-chan, what are you looking for?" Iyo raised an eyebrow.

"I am looking for the cookie cutters and cupcake molds sis put away last time she baked. They are still here?" He looked up as his mom nodded her head.

"It is, but isn't it too late to bake? It's nearly 10."

"I want to prepare everything so sis and I can bake once she is home. You know we have been doing that for years."

Iyo smiled as she saw the cheeky grin on Isagi's face. She put away the dishes and walked over to where he was.

"Wait, I pit them far back. Let me look for them." Iyo said as the boy moved away so that his mom could look for the items.

"Do you know what you will bake this year?"

"Mhm! Sis and I have been sending recipes for some chocolate cookies back and forth." He answered, taking the baking items from his mom's hands.

"That's good to hear! I wonder when they will come... Issei, did (Y/n) call yet?"

Both Isagi and his mom looked over at the entrance of the kitchen, hearing the man's footsteps come closer to the room.

"She texted me a minute ago. Because of the storm, they had to land in Osaka. (Y/n) said her and Oliver will sleep in a hotel tonight and drive to Saitama tomorrow."

"Is sis ok? The flight wasn't too bad, was it?" Isagi asked in worry.

"No, don't worry. She told me it was just near the end when it became dangerous. (Y/n) and Oliver are fine as far as I could tell."

Isagi, along with his mom, let out a sigh of relief and they continued on with their night as normal. Isagi would from time to time text (Y/n), to check in on how she is doing.

'I hope we have the cocoa powder.'

🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️

Isagi had to admit that one of the best feelings is waking up in his bed, in his home. There was just something comforting about sleeping in after a hard week of work, and that comfort got stronger 100 times when he realized he was back in Saitama. Isagi stayed in his bed for a good 20 minutes after waking up, then got ready for the day.

'It snowed a lot last night.' Isagi mused as he looked out the window in the hallway.

"Is anyone even awake yet?" The boy froze as he heard a familiar male's voice.

"Mom and dad are still asleep, I don't know about Yoichi. He sometimes sleeps in, and sometimes he is up early."

"(Y/n) and Aiku are here already..." Isagi muttered as he quickly walked down the stairs.

"Sis! You are home already?" Isagi wondered as he walked to the living room.

"Ahh! There you are! I thought you were still asleep!" (Y/n) chuckled as Oliver waved at Isagi.

"Sup, dude! When did you come back?"

"Oh? Last night! I am happy you two made it home safe. Was the ride from Osaka good?"

Isagi wondered as he and (Y/n) hugged.

"It was ok. It snowed a lot last night, so I was a little worried we will drive for longer."

"Could have been worse." Oliver yawned, high-fiving Isagi as he let go of (Y/n).

"At least we are home. I saw you already prepared the items we can use for backing." (Y/n) looked over at Isagi, patting his head.

"Yeah, I did last night. Mom helped me find them."

"Alright then! I will go freshen up and change clothes, we can bake then. Ok?"

Isagi nodded his head.

☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄

"Alright! We have everything ready! Yoichi, you mix up the wet ingredients and I will mix up the dry ones and prepare the molds and oven." The boy nodded his head and took the items needed as (Y/n) started doing her part.

"Sure! By the way, how is it in Italy? I know we talk a lot about it, but..." Isagi trailed off as (Y/n) took out the mixer.

"It's been great. But, I do get anxious at times when I have to speak Italian. I am not all that fluent yet." She laughed a little while mixing.

"What about you? Are you enjoying your life in Spain?"

Isagi smiled and nodded his head.

"Yeah! Everyone is very nice and the older teammates are willing to help out when we need help. My Spanish is so far... ok-ish. Luna-san says I nailed the accent."

"Good to hear that! You had me worried how you will learn it. You were never all too found in languages. Remember when I tried to teach you English?" She teased the younger while mixing up the dry and wet ingredient, causing Isagi to blush in embarrassment.

"I did my best! Languages are hard!" (Y/n) laughed at his reaction, poking his cheek when she finished mixing.

"Yeah, yeah. You always had football in your head. Anyways, let's shape up the cookies, and then we can move to cupcakes and prepare to decorate them."

Pouting, Isagi nodded his head.

"Meanie~"

"Love you, too."

"Can I join the baking, too? It's kinda boring being all alone-"

"No!"

"Sorry, Oliver. It's a siblings tradition." Yoichi and (Y/n) said at the same time, causing Oliver to pout now.

"You two are so mean to me." Oliver sighed dramatically as Isagi rolled his eyes and (Y/n) laughed.

'Why did I help him even?' The younger thought, turning back to look at his sister.

"It's nice to be reunited again. I really look forward to baking with you."

(Y/n) smiled and ruffle her brother's hair.

"You are adorable! And same, it's really relaxing!"

Isagi enjoyed the winter and Christmas time. It makes him feel comfortable, knowing he was with people he loved during the holidays.

Simp-to-lovers book recommendations please! By the way, you have excellent taste in books!!!

lmao, thank you, I've been a reader a long time. :')

now we're more in my ballpark, so i've separated them by genre!

Fantasy

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (the OG, how could I not?)

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo (Nikolai Lantsov you will always be famous, and what a woman you chose to be obsessed with)

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo (this is her newest book, and the love interest is basically the Darkling if he was more into simping and less into warcrimes. Is this reductive? yes. It is also truth.)

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett (truly. just the book of all time.)

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna (what if not only a man but an entire household simped for you?)

Ten Thousand Stitches by Olivia Atwater (Cinderella but the fairy godmother is an emotional support himbo)

!!!!The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater (my favourite book of the year so far AND THAT ASTARION-CODED MAN IS DOWN BAD!!)

The Scholomance by Naomi Novik (not my favourite Novik and rightfully criticised as problematic, but oh dear lord. SIMP BEHAVIOUR.)

House with Good Bones by T Kingfisher (I think Kingfisher's men are mostly just 'very nice men' but this one simped hard enough to participate in a horror novel)

Thornhedge by T Kingfisher (tell a lie this man simped hard enough to fall into a situationship with a frog-presenting woman)

Cress by Marissa Meyer (this is the 3rd in a series, but is a rare example of a female simp)

Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty (the man in this simps so hard for the milf pirate protagonist and so do I)

The Falconer by Elizabeth May (this is enemies to lovers that is actually simp to lovers).

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke (is this vastly underselling the themes and concerns of a 1000 page novel? yes. is jonathan strange a massive simp? also yes. he becomes a magician literally to impress his wife.)

Romance

The Bodyguard by Katherine Center (this man simps from the moment she tackles him, he is so valid)

The Room-Mate Risk by Talia Hibbert (this man has been in love with the female lead for years)

Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert (not my favourite in this series, but the biggest simp)

Kiss the Girl by Zoraida Cordova (contemporary little mermaid retelling that has vaguely believable love at first sight)

People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry (simp-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, unhealthy decade of pining)

The Gordy Report

Gordy's been with us a little over a week now and he's really made himself at home (he's at the office with me today and sleeping on my feet).

I had to register for his pet license and was going through his medical file this week. Y'all. I did not like what I found there. Before I delve in, here's the pet tax:

A very good boy.

First of all, the rescue association I got him from messed up some info that had to be resent. They also told us he was 5 and he's actually about to turn 7 (this is not a problem, we love middle-aged and old dogs in this house, but still, misinformation). But the thing I'm the most frustrated with is the fact that he's had some trauma, and while I know some of it, there were some pretty big gaping holes in the information I was given when we took him in.

I won't go too far into it, but his OG owners gave him up to his foster because they were having a baby and couldn't deal with his high-strung nature. Then he was adopted by his former owners. (That's right, we're his 3rd household, 5th if you count both the times he went to a foster.)

What I read in his medical file was a tragedy. His formers had him for less than a year. They dropped his trainer (which he really needed) and took him running 5+ miles a day (which he loved), but also they let him roam off leash on a relative's farm that had animals. Gordy's a herding breed. Without proper training, that is a Bad Idea.

Within a month, he was in the hospital for a foot injury most likely acquired at the farm, that had him limping--a cut on his foot--and then vomiting--most likely infected from animal dung or some other farm junk. (How did he get the cut? They said they didn't know. Which means they either weren't watching him or they DID know and didn't want to say because they should have known better.)

Another month went by and he needed stitches on the cut because the formers didn't take the doctor's advice and went running with him every day, so it tore. Another month went by and they weren't paying enough attention and he chewed those stitches. They took him in for new stitches and something happened at the vet that traumatized him so much they had to sedate him. Upon coming out of sedation, he bit his former on the nose! (Hello, some common sense advice: Don't put your face an animal's face if they're disoriented and in pain!) After that, they took him to the groomer and neglected to tell the groomer about his injury and it got re-opened there. Gordy was too scared and riled to go to the vet so he had to have video vet appointments and the formers were told how to handle it.

Which, of course, involves instructions. Not their strong point apparently.

At this point in, we are 4 months of this dog dealing with a wound on his foot. And then they again don't listen to the doctor and take him out to the farm where he runs off leash and chases a running horse and bites it and then almost bites an 8-year old child. At 5 months, his paw is 90% healed. FIVE MONTHS. FOR WHAT WAS JUST A SIMPLE CUT THAT BECAME A LACERATION.

They then complained that he seemed high-strung and a little snippy with them and got the vet to put him on prozac....before taking him back to the foster a few months later.

Okay. This was all very distressing to read. And I'm angry that the agency didn't detail it. But I'm even angrier at the formers for taking care of him so badly. (There were other things in those records that I could see they weren't keeping up with either.) I mean, I would be cranky too if I spent 5 months with an open wound.

But. His foster is a dog trainer and I can see between looking at the vet reports and the dog that is currently sweetly sleeping at my feet that she has done wonders with him. She actually texts me from time to time to see how he is and gives me good advice to keep his training solid. And I listen, because I can tell she worked hard on him and doesn't want that to go to waste. And since training works to give dogs structure and help them feel secure, I don't want it to lapse either.

He's such a good boy, y'all, and so deserving of love. I'm still in the moony phase where I feel so lucky to have him every time I wake up and see him waiting for me or watch him twitching in his comfy sleep in the sunshine. I'm working on letting go of my anger towards his formers and just letting his past be his past. He's so happy here. And that's all I want for him.

BAEEEE

dad natsuo fic???🥺🥺🥺🥺

Of course! Only the best for our underrated best boy!

learning & growing

Dad! Natsuo todoroki x reader

Cw! fluff, mostly natsuo being the best dad, may cause daddy issues to flare up

synopsis; natsuo todoroki didn't ever think he would be a great father due to how he grew up, but here he is now with a beautiful four year old baby girl he loves more than the stars love the moon

As we all know, Natsuo grew up in a household where fatherly love wasn't shown towards him, but as he'd watched his daughter,natsuki, grow up over the past four years he'd been the happiest he could ever be

When she was born

The girl was so tiny, so delicate, her skin looked like it had been painted on with an oil brush. Her eyes were like two tiny blue stones. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. "Natsuki.” you had whispered from the hospital bed as you were doing skin to skin with your daughter.

He was scared that he wasn't going to be a good dad,but when he had this beautiful daughter and you; his favorite person and wife next to him, the fears faded away towards the back of his mind. “yeah. Yeah it's perfect. such a pretty name...for our pretty girl."the nickname rolled off his tongue so flawlessly, like he'd been planning on having a kid so young with you. Like he'd been planning on nicknames for her.

He hadn't known it then,but his life was going to become extremely hectic and full of the fun you could only have with a child.

1st year

For the past year, being a dad to natsuki had been an incredible experience for him. He was so thankful for all the moments he had shared with her, from her first smile to her first steps. He cherished every moment they spent together and loved watching her grow into a beautiful girl. Natsuki's first giggle made his chest grow tighter than ever; and the way you gave him a tired smile when he'd come home from school made him want to help as much as he could. Every day brings new joys and he is filled with gratitude for all that they have experienced in this past year.

2nd year

Every moment natsuo spends with natsumi is precious and he cherishes every single one of them. From teaching her how to ride a bicycle to playing tag in the backyard with you two, he loves every second of it.

He knew that all too soon these moments will pass and she would be all grown up, it had happened so fast from when natsumi was born and now suddenly she was two and could talk and walk and have fun with him, but until then he plans on enjoying everything he's had with his child for the past two years of her life.

3rd year

Being a dad to a three year old toddler is both challenging and rewarding, and natsuo finds that out the hard way.

He had been left at home with natsumi and got locked in the bathroom.

It's a time of immense joy and growth, as he watched natsumi learn new things every day. As a dad, he'd experienced everything from the highs of playing with the toddler to the lows of trying to find ways to keep her entertained.

He wouldn't trade it for anything, as it had been an amazing experience that has brought him so much joy and laughter.

4th year

While you were pregnant again with your second child natsuo was enjoying taking four year old natsumi to her first day of school, where he totally didn't cry, and dance classes that put a hole in his pocket, but he'd do anything for natsumi.

It was difficult to balance the needs of both natsumi and take care of you and the doctors appointments .

After your second child is born; natsumi becomes the best older sister.

Natsuo never thought he deserved love, and he definitely never thought he would be a good father. But here he was, learning and growing alongside natsumi while also being completely obsessed with you as well.

first natsuo fic and third post of the day! literally struggled a bit, but I hope u enjoy!

[hanamuranobuyuki]

This year has been a total year of madness, when you always have ups and downs with content, content creation, etc.

And then... December rolls around. It's more like, November rolls around? Because Hypdream was released, and then this event releases.

Like, I have so many words I want to use, but I also lost my ability to SPEAK because of this event. This girl has been screaming nonstop since the event was live. Because if you guys know Hana, you know I've explicitly told people my HCs regarding Jyushi's VKei-ifying projects, my desires for Jiro to wear makeup, have the cast wear nail polish, etc. my aesthetics had DESIRES for so long. And for years, since I've embarked on this journey as being a Jiroshi Producer, Author, Supporter, and Cult Summoner, I've had one desire.

Have Jiro get a makeover from Jyushi.

I back in 2021/22, strictly desired Jiro to wear an AKG coat as I oh so fondly call them, Jyushi's coat. But as the lack of content rolled through, 2023 gave us Get Busy, and other shenanigans leading to an angsty downfall of doubt and retrospection of Jyushi's place within Bad Ass Temple and a possible relationship with Buster Bros via shenanigans... I kinda lost hope. I had been going about this for years, and I didn't have much to propel me forward.

I haven't been able to watch past episode 3 of Rhyme Anima + because of the negative connotations I received upon excitement for the series, the situations in my life, and the general thoughts about a whole lot of things. Because of that, I don't really know much about whether or not Jiro and Jyushi have had "conversation," but I do know We Go With The Flow is a banger of a song. But back to the points at hand.

I thought that well... I might not get the content simply because they're just too different for the staff to do much of anything with.

Then 2024 rolls around.

ARB gives us 10 seconds of voice content via Soul Swap 3rd liners edition.

ARB gives us an event where Jiro is splashing water at Ramuda, who uses Jyushi as a shield.

A. R. B. The canon-not-canon world where Jiro still loves Ichiro to the point he's calling him Nii-chan, Kuko is overly domestic in the Yamada household, Medical Yakuza Honpo is like one of the best lineups to exist- ahem. ARB gave us that.

And then, half a year later. After 4.5 anni, new monthly cards, and whatnot...

This. ARB Gives us. This. This event. Where we can see both Jyushi in a soccer jersey and Jiro in amazing rock/vkei wear.

After the weeks I've been having, with Hypdream releasing and giving me the possibility of having Jiro and Jyushi together on a team, and the very recent announcement of BB vs BAT as the 3rd DRB lineup, I can't help but feel like... we have been blessed. That as a Jiroshi supporter craving even the simplest conversations, we have been blessed with a complete costume change.

And I don't know if you have noticed, but THESE CARDS have ASCENDED HANA.

This card series is peak. This is perfection. It's all I want in a series. Jiro and Jyushi, wearing matching makeup, cool clothes, nail polish, and matching boot styles (because Jiro has black and Jyushi keeps his red boots) I have lost the mere ability to just... speak. Think. Function like a normal human being. I just haven't because I CAN'T.

I feel like some deity out there is trying to tell me, tell the supporters of this small little ship, to never give up.

And I am writing this as my promise to myself. To the people who propel me to write. To those who walk along me on this journey to writing or sharing a little bit of happiness.

As long as I live within this fandom, I will support the Jiroshi cause with all my might.

My name is Hana. I've been a Jiroshi fan for 3.5 years

And I will continue to support these two no matter happens. ARB, Hypdream, any new games, whatever breadcrumbs happen in canon projects, no matter what happens, to the best of my ability. I will be a slave to Jiroshi and I hope whoever reads this will join me on the journey.

With love

-Hana

(PS: I've been getting back into writing again since I had dropped some events finally. Terms and Conditions is a go, because I'm trying to reach a certain point of time eventually! I hope to see you all there whenever I finish the update!)

(PPS: The picture is what I call my Jiroshi Chaos Board. It's a culmination of a whole bunch of cards I've collected in ARB. If you have Jiroshi Chaos Boards, I'd love to see it! If you're in the summoning circle, please drop it in the channels! If not, please ping me here or on insta because I'd love to share the love and chaos!)

Cutest animals I met/babysat in 2024

Soo i wrote this to really just remind myself that even though this year was a complete disaster, it was worth staying alive after all, even if just to meet these cute guys at least. Being able to interact and connect with animals is truly a blessing, so here’s me sharing some cuteness and lore to leave my blog on a positive note and to share some wholesome stuff for once^^

(Oh and i’m not ranking the pets based on anything, it’s all just random really)

Okay let’s get started!!

1st nominee: Dundi

Literally the sweetest cat in the universe. Her name means Chubby, but like, in a very cute manner. She’s about 7 years old, we’ve had her since she was a kitten. Unfortunately, i don’t get to see her that much, as she’s an outside-cat, and she lives at my father’s place (my parents are divorced, i don’t visit all that often). She probably gets fed at least by 4 households, so it’s no wonder she’s fat cat lmao

And i really do mean it when i say Dundi’s the sweetest cat: she really likes ppl, even kids, always purrs like a chainsaw when ppl pet her, and she loves to sleep on the seat of my motorbike. We’ve kept each other company many times during new years, she was right beside me not long after i gave up on finishing my damn music project (iykyk xd).

I love her dearly💘

2nd nominee: Hamu

Her name means Ash, she’s the twin sister of Dundi. Despite looking completely identical, she couldn’t be a more different regarding the personality... Meaning: she’s a lil princess, a little bitch to be exact. And i say that with all the love and affection ofc💖

She doesn’t like to be pet (by me and my family at least lol, who knows how many other houses she frequents) and she’s a very talkative girl, she liiiives to complain. I see Hamu even less than i see her sister, but she still has such a special place in my heart

3rd nominee: Alíz

Her name is kinda the equivalent of Alice but it’s pronounced a bit differently. She used to be grandparents’ dog, she’s at least 12 years old by now. I remember playing with her a lot when i was little, i used to chase her around the garden as we both loved running. I really really cared for her a lot, and i still do… unfortunately, as the years went on, she became quite insufferable bc my grandpa spoils her way too much, no matter how much i tell him it’s no good. But well, both of them only have one another to keep each other company. I love Alíz a lot though, even if i see her extremely rarely nowadays.

4th nominee: Nymeria

The absolute love of my life. My personal antidepressant. The cutest angel who always cuddles with me in the cold.

She’s about 5 yrs old, and my flatmates’ dog. A true sneaky girl, she just has that up-to-no-good-look in her eyes. She’ll definitely kill me with her cuteness one day, that’s for sure.

I absolutely adore her, we really befriended each other FAST and she loves my company now: sometimes, she greets me at the door when i arrive, she’s always down for pets and cuddles, and each and every day she scratches a bit at my bedroom door to be let in. She then gets underneath the covers with me and we stay there for hours.

I feel a bit less lonely when Nyme is beside me and ughh i really just love her so much, can’t wait to see her again when i get back to Spain❤️

5th nominee: Chía

I’ll be honest, i’m not a huge fan of bunnies… but Chía is a very cute one unfortunately, and she seems to like me a lot despite not spending much time together lol

She’s always running in circles around my feet, and she’s a very persistent lil trespasser: for some mind blowing reason, she NEEDS to get into my room… she even jumps up at the window out on the balcony to get inside, it’s actually ridiculous. Chía’s not allowed in tho, bc she eats the wall under my bed lmao

6th nominee: Niko

He’s an 11 year old angel, literally the sweetest most innocent boy you’ll ever meet. He’s my neighbor’s dog, and during the summer i’m often asked to dog-sit him for a week or two.

He loves human company, and apparently, i was told that he often searched for me when i was away at Spain for my studies. We met up this Christmas when i returned, so i spent a day with him, he was quite happy to see me. So well, he likes me a lot and always follows me around literally EVERYWHERE when i’m with him💘

7th nominee: Cserkész

He’s my mom’s friend’s dog, his name means Scout! We were asked to visit him every day for a week, just for a few hours, so he wouldn’t be lonely while the owners went on vacation (the owners’ grandparents kept him fed, but they couldn’t be with him during the day as they had to go to work).

We got along very well, he’s such a playful cutie who enjoyes running around but he’s also absolutely down for some good pets, a real sweetheart in true form🧡

8th nominee: THE CAT

Housemate of Cserkész, and i still don’t know her name to this day… my mother dislikes cats, so she didn’t bother to ask for her name from her friend -_-

So. She’s THE CAT for now.

THE CAT is a lil baby btw, so she’s extremely playful and curious, but was very wary of us when we first visited her. She warmed up to me quickly tho, and ig her trouble-maker nature got the better of her wariness: she was constantly trying to sneak up on me when i pretended to ignore her/be unaware xd It was so cute

Ig she must have figured that i’m no danger and that i looove cats and respect their boundaries, so i was allowed close. She’s a real heartthrob, at the end of our visit she even settled on my lap for a few pets… until she got distracted 10 seconds later and sprinted away xdd

.

.

.

So i think that’s all!! Some of the pics are in horrible quality ik ik… Hope the cute animals made you guys smile, i really do live laugh love for these guys lmao

I’m hoping i’ll be able to make a recap like this next year too, kinda want to make these posts an annual thing to appreciate the small things in life<3

Happy new year to everyone, and see yall in February!!

Playboyy EP1 - "Sex is about everyone"

PART 1

okey, let's get it:

The fountain a la WAP really fits the show, ain't going to lie.

Something tells me that Zouy liked/likes Nant, idk why. Like, they are showing us that Zouy and Nant were pretty close and Nant was definetly a safe space for Zouy for everything, sex talk included. September 15th, 2022 - what was your wish, Zouy?

"Pacebook". I love this show, I swear. Now, the video is posted on the 18th although the video is from a year ago, but also: First's comment asking "where are you? are you coming to class?" was made 2 weeks ago. So... Nant went missing at the beginning of 3rd year.

as I said before, hilarious that Zouy and Jade share the same laptop, "Deadline is faster than Karma" is the true collegue/uni experience!

The parallels to OF are strong but I'm not going to go deep into it. A little tmi: I'm a virgin, I'm not ashame of it and never will be. On contrary to Zouy (and Mew) I'm lucky to have friends since my high school years that never cared neither pressured me into changing this about me. As everyone fuckin should. And that's the commentary both shows are doing on this. But we are going to focus on Playboyy here. Zouy pointing out that Porche, Captain and First being so on the nose about each others sex lifes is the reason Nant went missing, is a really valid point. This group probably met each other on 1st year, so at 18 years old. That's still an age were you can easily sucumb to pressure from your "friends" whom are just giving "friendly advice", while you are trying to "fit in". But it can get you into serious trouble. Porsche, Captain and First are finding out now that their "harmless" behaviour can lead to bad things happening to others only because these others (Nant and Zouy) wanna "fit in" with the group with them.

Feeling all those eyes on you, even if they are "friendly", is a heavy burden.

Now, the whole scene with Jump was highly amusing at the begining, but when it came the time to be Jump and Zouy to be alone, it was painful to watch for the same reason I just talked about but also gives us more insight on Zouy's relationship with sex: he's not ready to get physical yet but he still gets horny like the rest of the lads in this household (everyone is horny 24/7, I love them)

baby boy was so out of his element, come here, let me wrap you in a blankie. is okey.

Now, I must say: Him asking Jump to pose like Rose in Titanic IS FUCKIN HILARIOUS. PEAK ART CLICHÉ. He really said "I want to paint you like one of my french girls" and I almost busted a lung laughing.

I feel like this is some random model drawing, not Nant. But I could be wrong.

Another moment that knocked the air out of my lungs: Porche and Captain walking on Zouy and First. CAN WE PLEASE START LOCKING THE FUCKIN DOORS? DIDN'T WE LEARNED FROM VENUS IN THE SKY?!

This "punishment" is not effective at all but deeply amusing.

Zouy comments again how uncomfortable this makes him and I feel so sorry for him. I know the rest are just trying "to help" but they are not helping at all. Their behaviour got Nant into trouble in the first place and Zouy clearly doesn't wanna end like him as well...

Now, the demon @respectthepetty has teached us well about color and I wanna point out:

Zouy's backack is yellow... and so is Teena's bike

Also, lowkey introducing us to Keen. Captain gets so distracted side-eyeing him that he ends up bumping into Puen. And it adds another problem: the rich kids don't like the scholarship students.

They know what they are doing...

... and I thank them for it *cue chrome arts by onlyoneof*

See, this is when I started loosing my shit:

Sir, we get it, you are hot af, BUT 5FT WAY PLEASE, WE JUST MET.

fuckin hell Kaowoat, you are a beautiful man, lord have mercy on me.

I'm going to end up with a collection of this three and there reactions, am I not?

I'LL CONTINUE ON ANOTHER POST.

Channeled Angelic Wisdom of the Jewels of Truth Series on Tribute, Kindness, and Gratitude

Hello All,

I hope those of you here in the States have enjoyed a delicious and hearty Thanksgiving holiday celebration with family, friends, and strangers alike. Today is a bonus entry for this blog site of Atrayo's Oracle which is a namesake I've used online as my online nickname since 1999 in regards to Atrayo. 

The Jewels of Truth series is the ongoing discourse of roughly over 4,000 topic statements (3300+ full length and 800+ in the short series.) with the angelic lesser deities of the heavenly host. As a clairaudient psychic of Inspirational automatic writing with never having writer's block in these 29 years plus. Again the content is channeled as a devotional spiritual practice akin to an old-fashioned scribe taking dictation by psychic means. 

I have suffered from mental health clinical depression and generalized anxiety since being a teenager for decades now and have learned in my own way to cope with this mental disability. I am not bi-polar nor schizophrenic for that matter although I do have clairvoyant abilities. Quite the paradox although I do struggle with motivation as zeal in living day to day but that is the cross I bear. These spiritual intuitive writings have transformed me therapeutically into a young sage and a mystic accordingly. 

As I have mentioned in the Introduction to my 3rd published volume of The Jewels of Truth: The Journey of the Soul Continues, Volume 3. My emotional mental anguish becomes recycled into a living grace as a means of my own redemption in life with God(dess) and the Heavenly Angels. 

Today's bonus blog entry of Atrayo's Oracle of the Jewels of Truth series as an ongoing dialogue with the angels on the topic of Tribute. By Tribute I mean whatever one gives selflessly as a donation of your time, treasures, and talents back to the divine unconditionally. This is versus taking conditional monetary payments for your daily bread in the world. 

The other two topics of Kindness and Gratitude are self-explanatory. May you each the spiritual seeker within by faith find an outlet of your divinity upon the world spiritually. Amen. 

Tribute:

3360) All whom yearn to give of the sacred heart and soul as a gift back to God may do so with earnest magnanimity. Whenever and whatever may be done to give as a living testimony of the grace of the Most High upon you within the world. Soon it is received in Heaven nearly instantly by your pure love indeed. 

Those whom devote their beautiful time, treasures, and talents to the material world are most esteemed when accomplished with humility and adorations for the receiver(s). We fault no one who must accept financial incentives as payment upon your society for their excellent services and merchandise from the storehouses of the world. 

However, those who devote such gestures of selflessness leave the heavenly gates open to receive greater blessings yet still. In other words, offer unconditional devotion as a means of worshiping God in spite of what the capitalistic world decries as blasphemy by naive tendencies. All donations freely given without regret or coercion by beautiful intentions are deemed holy by the angelic heavens indeed. It is verily a tribute directly to God(dess) in Heaven for all those in great needs upon the world from the least unto the greatest amongst yourselves. 

Do not fret when a conditional payment is necessary due to your daily household needs. Although when giving back to God be loving on an unconditional basis with moderation in your actions. To grant your Inner soul the quality and breadth of the convictions you are due by the Intergrity of the Heavens already within you forever. 

Selfless gestures notwithstanding are precious in the Eyes of God and the Heavenly Angelic Host. To besmirch the charity given by another because they are deemed foolish in a capitalistic society. Directs the disdain not to the alleged naive one but to the one casting falsehoods in their place as so-called worldly wisdom. 

All gestures that are conditional in human nature are flawed if not vain and empty on a spiritual basis. When you give whether altruistically or conditionally by seeking remittances do so with warmth in your hearts and minds completely. In that way, you contribute to the better angelic natures of what is holiest in the world. 

Do not give when it hurts when you have no surplus and/or when your heart and mind are broken from the stresses of the world. Such giving from a miserable state of mind becomes warped by any other name that speaks towards resentments and other maladies of discordant dispositions. Do not give when you feel you must because of peer pressure of social acceptance and due to political maneuvering on your part. Such so-called gifts are vain and truly empty on a human and spiritual basis by lacking enthusiasm for what is otherwise a form of respected compassion. 

All giving when it is spiritual in holy humane nature becomes a living consecration unto God Alone. Let no naysayer disrupt such thoughtful and caring charity lest they be judged harshly by the angelic witnesses of karma. Giving is a sacred act of the divine when it is lovingly acknowledging the limitations of the world regardless if the need is great or not. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Kindness:

3359) Kindness for its own sake by means of political correctness soon becomes empty without lasting fulfillment. When it is coupled with a genuine warmth of personal character. It soon becomes a living grace of the divine reborn upon the world. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Gratitude:

3310) There are many wonders that co-exist with humanity spiritually that are deemed as ordinary occurrences. Those who lack the wherewithal to fully recognize such expressions are the poorer upon the world. For example, the grace of Gratitude is mostly presumed to be a human trait of the societal norm by means of politeness and perhaps an extension of generosity itself. 

However, its roots go much much further back metaphysically as a type of Graceful Power of God. A Divine Blessing is a means of recollection and cherishing what is, what was, and what will be again collectively forever. What this infers is a means of totality in cosmic expression with heavenly origins by giving sincere thanks one shares the Inner beauty of the angelic in each of you. 

No fragmentation exists whatsoever that such a speck of gratitude once observed with divine origins. Soon relegates itself back to the original heavenly essence of God itself as cherished. A loving gesture cherished and shared with thanksgiving is and truly becomes a bridge to engulf the holy with the holy as a united embrace. 

The human confines of so-called politeness are short-sighted as a means to tolerate the other as a form of temperance. It lacks the complete subconscious illumination of a greater act of unconditional sincerity. In other words, political correctness as politeness is displaying kindness but not meaning it as a coy distraction. Hypocrisy by any other name is so bittersweet to the senses of the animalistic carnivore. 

The Brave of Heart bucks all that nonsense and lovingly cherishes with gratitude in order to overcome the petty world with the civility of bonafide good conduct of compassion within. The circle of life soon becomes complete and the divine links the efforts returning it back to God metaphysically. All forms of spiritual worship with gratitude as a discipline of holiness soon foster a stronger experience of your prayers, affirmations, meditations, and contemplations altogether. 

Such a strengthened form of holy gratitude returns to the origins of a Power or Grace of God(dess) itself. This exalts all within the circle of what is cherished in the enchanted pool of living spiritual waters that it quenches to the soulful touch. Eternity of the past, present, and future soon becomes suspended and the essence of God permeates the totality of the gratitude. 

The world easily pounces with shallow animalistic fervor all such political correctness where gratitude is utilized as a manipulative trick of the ego-centric person. A subterfuge to seize what is desired by nearly any means possible. A form of guile in other words to deceive the naive and the corrupted alike filled with ego pride to butter them up metaphorically speaking. 

Such pretenses are often futile and short-lived the investment of actions must be repeated adnausem in order to bend the will of others to your shallow own. To project righteousness in order to fool the other person, group, organization, and even institution into thinking you are in cahoots with their simpatico mentality spells a travesty best served emotionally cold. 

It is a predator mentality that offers little and takes more than it deserves in order to fill its gullet completely. Insincerity and shallow gratitude led by the ego aren't of this world but of the damned hells indeed. Please understand the difference between some of these examples is extreme but not unheard of in the world of political and logistical power struggles. 

To welcome genuine loving gratitude opens the way for greater glories of God to fill your heart fully. When it is coupled with Forgiveness as a means of reconciling compassion with a prior error or offense. Soon reveals a spiritual opening to reveal what is redemptive in divine value to heal what is otherwise not worth holding onto any longer but to release it completely. To have a cathartic surrender psychologically in order to perform acceptance and experience goodwill versus struggling with misery instead. 

The Merit of Gratitude is a worthy enterprise of the holy upon the world when it is truly shared with conviction. Yours is the choice to choose again and enrich your intentions with positivity in order to experience more than just a generous magnanimous nature. But, to be Divine again as Holy Ghosts that a barbarous world is so desperate to experience mercy and charity all the same. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

43 & 62 for the fanfic ask?

Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

tropes? I mean, not really. although now that I realize how much I love a "we get married and THEN fall in love" story that could be one I try to write someday. idea? absolutely. I have tons. fanfic AND ofic. unfortunately, I don't let ideas fester in my brain for too long or I end up with far too many WIPs. the big ones on the agenda are, in order:

the cotn novella (outline 2/3rd done)

cotn 3 — 'friends with the fire' (about 1/3rd is outlined but the whole plan is in the ole' noggin')

finishing edge of it all is a pretty big priority for next year

one fell swoop will probably get the serial numbers filed off before I finish it. and may never end up on ao3 tbh. so uh, there's an update/some tea on that one 👀

the 3rd and final installment of the 'suddenly human' fic series that I accidentally started

In [insert fic], is there a deleted scene/idea you wish you could have included?  Why did it get cut?

you didn't leave a specific fic here but i'm choosing roots since it's the one that's freshest in the brain. but yes!! the 'maria slut-shames jasper' scene snippet! (putting it under a read more in case anyone out there is still planning on reading roots lmfao)

in the scene where alice and the cullens are watching maria lose her shit on jasper after she arrives there was supposed to be a part of the chapter where she turns to rant at someone else, and when jasper chimes in (she is not talking to him at the moment) she, without looking at him, is like "I'm not going to take advice from someone whose had their dick in half the household" and then she moves on. it was going to be a line just jammed in there (pun half-way intended) to call attention to their (maria/jasper's) past while also calling out how he and peter have absolutely fucked before. it was supposed to be a funny line in the middle of her ranting that no one would react to except for a confused emmett who would be making comments in the background like "wait a second" and "is no one else going to say anything about that" and "what the fuck. what the fuck." but I couldn't find a good place to put it and humor didn't seem appropriate yet (outside of maria's general delightful bitchiness). I tried to move it to a couple other chapters but again: it wasn't fitting in with the mood of the chapters/story, so unfortunately the peter/jasper stuff had to be cut 😔

send me fanfiction writing asks! ♡

A Season Of Birthdays And Thoughts On Marriage

It has been such a season of celebration in the Clarke household! My eldest son, Tyson, has just turned 6! He is still such a sweet boy, and he always does what he can to help others. He's clearly a natural headship -- he's so protective over little Mandy, and he's always wanting to make sure I'm ok. Such a little gentleman! At the advice of Tobias, he's going to be attending the secular elementary school in our area. While this isn't what I thought would happen, Tobias thought it would be beneficial for us not to be all crowded up in our little trailer all day, and Christian private school isn't really financially possible for us. I'll be praying that my son remains strong in his faith, and his gentle spirit isn't corrupted by secular influence. Mommy has faith in you!

My little girl, Mandy, has also recently turned 2! She already is so ladylike, and she loves mothering on her stuffed animals, which is so sweet to watch! I've shown her the crib, which we are keeping in the 3rd bedroom (now Mandy and Tyson are bigger, we've gotten rid of most of the baby stuff, and they can share a room) and she is so excited for when Mommy is going to be blessed with a little baby, God-willing. She's still a Daddy's girl, and loves to watch him play his video games. We are so proud of you, sweet girl!

Recently, I made a misstep in my marriage -- I talked to a family member in a way that made them think me and Tobias were having difficulties, both financially and in our marriage. This caused the family member to give me some advice, which while I'm sure it was well-meant, was ungodly and unneeded! While we aren't affluent, we have a roof over our heads, beds to sleep in, and food to eat! A wife's job is to make what she has work, and this is a skill I've been working on over the years. For example, little Mandy is actually wearing Tyson's old shirt, but it doesn't look boyish at all with the leggings and skirt i found at Salvation Army -- she looks like such a classy little lady in her blouse! And I would say that the only relationship issue we've had is my tendency to not think before I speak, which has only caused my husband and the people around us annoyance. I've been working on this flaw of mine, and I think my progress will do a great deal of good in our marriage. Tobias leads the family, and so my opinion isn't necessary if he's already told me his. I think this advice would also do good for other ladies in biblically-led marriages. Finally, Tobias gave me a word of wisdom in who we should trust for our advice! Only go to women who are living their lives by the word of God -- why should I trust a bossy harlot, who got pregnant before she married, and wears tight pants in front of men, to give me good advice? Naturally, women are naive and trusting, so it was so good of Tobias to point this out to me!

[buttacake80]

adding in my 2 sense with the samantha situation bc i feel like everyone here talking about it has never been in a toxic codependant relationship. she's that typical white spoiled mean girl who has her public famous bf and her secret hookups. he's stupid and easily manipulated. how long do you see them lasting? and can we get your opinion? like i feel like you know how adult relationships work.

It's hard to say.

First, the divorce rate for first-time marriages in the US is 43%. That number changes based upon race & age. There's a higher divorce rate for 2nd and 3rd marriages.

Amongst athletes, that number jumps to 60% to 80%.

I suspect infidelity is one of the main reasons. I think some couples thrive when the husband is gone 6-8 months of the year, but once they are home on a permanent basis, they realize they aren't compatible. In other cases, I think there are pure financial reasons at play. I am even positive there are some spouses who left athletes in order to pursue their own career aspirations.

Regardless, that number is a lot higher than the average American household.

I don't know what the specific divorce rate is within the NHL. But, the league seems to be a lot more conservative when compared to the NFL, WNBA, NWSL, and NBA. I'd say MLB is only more conservative than the NHL. I am unsure about MLS.

Owners don't like messy players with messy personal lives. That's true across every pro league, but the NHL seems irrationally intolerant to individuality. And, it's likely to be a younger player who tests the boundaries of individuality.

I reckon a young immature millionaire whose frontal lobe hasn't fully formed (i.e. Matthews & the Scottsdale incident) is a threat to league conformity. Not simply a liability.

So, I bet there are folks in management advising these young players to seek stability in the form of a relationship. "Everything about your life is chaotic, so why don't you find a sweet girl to come home to?"

[Hell. Specifically within hockey, I suspect that there is a wee superstitious few who view getting married (or remaining unmarried) as necessary to winning the Cup.]

I don't think it's a requirement. Just a general expectation that they have a main girl who is suitable enough to attend team functions. Who won't air their business out when things go left. And who won't make a fuss if her beau sees another girl or two on the road. It's about maintaining appearances.

The average age for first-time marriage is between 28-30. So, there are young athletess who are legitimately in love and who think they have found their life partner (it's just unlikely that it is the case).

Furthermore, there are probably some players who really, really want children, so they settle for a woman who understands what she is getting into. It's a marriage of convenience. He gets kids. She gets his money. It works until it doesn't.

📣It only becomes an issue for me when innocent folks get tangled up in these understandings.📣

From the outside, it may seem like their relationship doesn't work. To us. But we aren't privy to the inner concessions they have made to exist in such a public relationship. As long as both parties have agreed that their relationship is open or has some other fluid aspect to it, then it's not my concern.

And, because folks do cheat, it's hard to know if one is in an actual open relationship or if they are operating on their own agenda.

Which is why I advised that other anon not to shit where she eats. It would suck to get caught up with the athlete in your building, only to find out you misunderstood the status of your relationship. Then you're stuck in your lease, trying to avoid the asshole who might pop up with another girl.
