#21.3 Thoughts

"What's on your mind?" Isu asked, already lying down on his futon which was placed right next to his. Laure was already fast asleep on Isu's other side.

Hatz crouched down and pulled on his blanket. His thoughts kept going back to whatever happened just a moment ago as he stared at the ceiling. "How high do you think I can climb the tower?"

Isu hummed, the answer came easy. "Definitely higher than me."

Hatz looked at him, frowning. "I will take you along."

Shibisu's smile didn't reach his eyes, and he was not looking at Hatz.

"I just…" Hatz started again to fill the silence, "I realized how weak and helpless I am, in the face of true power."

Shibisu only hummed, and Hatz came to a realization. He knew very well that Isu wasn't gifted with power, yet he always did his best to keep up with their team that consisted of mostly gifted individuals. Though Hatz wouldn't call himself one, since he came from a more humble background.

"I think I understand you better now." Hatz said, with a newfound fondness of his friend. "It's frustrating, isn't it?"

"You're being sentimental." Isu chuckled, but he didn't deny it.

Hatz also didn't deny the claim. He might be just missing the life he left behind, where everything was simple, where he was praised for some achievements. But he also wouldn't exchange it for what he had today. His team, his family. It was just the thought that everything that he had could be taken away in just an instant, while he was powerless to stop it.

"You're rarely like this." Isu asked, now with a little concern. "What happened?"

Hatz debated on how to tell him. "We met a ranker, along with Agni and Grace, earlier."

"Oh?" Isu shifted to lie sideways, smirking at him with intrigue. "You met Grace? How did it go?"

It seemed that Isu was still under the assumption that Hatz had a crush on Grace, which he definitely did not. Not when Grace asked him to teach him how to wield a sword, and not when Grace picked his side when he debated with Earrings about swordsmanship's principles. Grace had wanted to know him better, and it was natural that Hatz had grown to like him more than the others. It was all just a mutual feeling, nothing extending to romance. Though he had to admit that he wanted to impress Grace and earn his attention, because no one else bothered to actually see the art of swordsmanship he was so proud of and trained hard with. Still, he had no intention to take him away from Agni. It was against his principle of loyalty. Even if, admittedly, he was a little bitter about it when he found out that Agni looked and acted a lot like Khun.

"You're frowning~" Isu taunted. "Could it be…jealousy~?"

"It's not like that." Hatz cleared his throat, as well as whatever he was feeling. "What I saw earlier made me realize that they're living in a different world than ours."

"Are you referring to their power? Since you're talking about it earlier." Isu's expression turned serious once again. "I mean…Agni is surely strong. We have all seen that first hand."

"He does, but– what I experienced earlier, was something I could get out of by luck."

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't know how to tell you exactly, but it felt like I had witnessed a fight between high rankers."

"On this floor?? In the regular area??"

"There was a shinsu barrier, so the fight was unseen from outside. I didn't notice anything amiss until I accidentally went through the barrier, and Agni caught me as soon as I entered."

"A barrier that could contain a high rankers' fight, yet easy for regulars to get through…" Isu mumbled. "Are they perhaps…sparring?"

"I think you might be right." Because Hatz was said to be unconscious for only a few minutes, and everything seemed to be over by then. "Rak clarified that Grace had partaken in that fight."

"Huh. Grace did?"

"He was beaten up and unconscious. Where else would he get those injuries?"

"Is he okay?"

"Agni had tended to him, and I can say that Agni is a capable healer. Grace should be fine, he was sleeping when we were forced to leave."

"...Forced?"

"There was a high ranker, I think. His presence was so strong that even Rak was quiet. Though he seemed to be fond of Grace and Agni. But it looked like Agni was a little afraid of him, so he sent us back."

"If that's true, then there is a good chance that the guy is related to FUG." Shibisu groaned and rolled back, covering his face. "Shit, what did we get ourselves into…"

"Uh…Sorry?"

"No, no. It's not your fault." Isu flailed his hands to try and make his point, before sighing and laying his hands back down. "Just…I'm glad you made it back, Hatz."

Changing my hcs for Geeta bc I'm quirky like that*

[boyfrillish]

(WIP)

Sharing a snippet of the part I just wrote because I'm really itching to share... HopVic confession time 🫧

Dunno if I'll actually finish that first draft today, but we're really getting somewhere!

[fromthe7thsidelines]

His shrug of one shoulder held a lot of unspoken explanation, most of which he'd prefer not to linger on at the moment. Biggs had already mentioned his lost chances and his feeling of being on borrowed time; that'd be enough, for now. At least his attempt to seem calm and confident had worked, though it did little to ease his nervous, excited pulse. The tapping of Zack's foot jarred the self-conscious worry Biggs tried to quash. After all, flirting was one thing, following through was another.

Before his mind could run away on him again and prove Marlene right, Zack broke the thoughtful silence. Biggs sighed out a laugh, glancing to the drained reactor for only a moment, subtle anxious tension draining from his back and shoulders. Yeah, they could both do with some food; his 'last meal' of favorite snacks wasn't all that filling, and Zack was probably ravenous after chasing down his sorry ass again. The promise of an apartment to stay in was icing on the cake.

"All mine, huh? Better remind myself not to rush dinner. ...C'mon." A tip of his head in the exit's general direction, before he turned to leave the reactor at last.

Only once he was turned away from Zack did he let his flusterment show on his face, smoothing a gloved palm over flushed tawny cheeks as if he could wipe away the redness. Biggs' mind, for all its racing, remained certain of his decision. He might not know how it'd go or what might come after, but he knew he wanted this, and 'waiting for the right time' in the past had left him with too many regrets.

He thought he caught a glimpse of Zack's stare flicking down to his mouth, and the ideas that conjured brought a subtle warmth to Biggs' cheeks. Even so, he kept his hand where it was, using the excuse of sorting out the hair he'd mussed to stay close for longer. Okay, maybe he was a little desperate and lonely too - but he didn't think he could be blamed, after everything.

Biggs didn't expect the other to list off almost everyone who'd caught his eye in recent years. That mild blush only grew warmer, spreading onto his ears as well, despite his fairly calm and amiable expression. The mention of Wedge did ache sharpest, but he didn't begrudge Zack for it. Those pangs were better than the pain of trying to shut them out.

We have only each other. The sentiment, backed up by a smiling compliment and pretty mako-blue eyes, broke through most of Biggs' lingering melancholy. A flash of teeth showed in his answering smile. "Glad you noticed." His hand finally retreated from Zack's hair, fingertips skimming the other man's forehead and temple as they brushed aside that stray lock. "'Cause yeah, I think you're hot too." He propped both hands on his own hips, but didn't yet back away. "Whether you wanna do something about it before or after we visit Elmyra's place, that's up to you. I've got too many missed chances and too much borrowed time to dance around the topic anymore."

Despite the confidence and truth of his claim, Biggs could hear his heart picking up pace in the backs of his ears. He was so accustomed to having some sort of plan or loose framework in mind, even for flings and one-night stands and dates that didn't go anywhere. Playing this fast and loose was as exciting as it was almost daunting; if it were anyone alive but Zack, he might not have tried.

[frangipanistars]

(Jesuis-assez): Hii!! I thought of another question 🤭 So, I'm here to harrass you again.

What kind of gestures that Tim and Lucy do, that you like and would like to see going forward?

( individually and while together )

I'm not sure if this question was clear enough 🤣. It may or may not require a lot of brain-storming.

In case the question is confusing: just little mannerisms they do individually and to/with each other.

Like ... Terse nods, Lucy's head tilt that she does, or how they comfort each other. Tim cradling her head 💖😊 Some actions they repeatedly do with each other as displays of affection.

I really like this question I thought of.. I wanna answer, too. I've already thought of several. I kinda already did, but like more extensively. Those were just examples! 🤣 ( that I would still use)

Hahah gosh no, you'll never harass me by sending these asks! I usually just need a couple business days because my brain is slow 😂

Phew, hmm, gestures.. let's see. I feel like your examples are already pretty good ones. I never realized Tim's terse nods were a thing until it was actively pointed out on the show but then it was this moment of woah, so true. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing more of those! Same goes for Lucy's little head tilt, and with her potentially training a rookie for at least a little while this season, I'd just about die if we'd see it again because Tim compliments her on how well she's handing TO duties. Oh, and maybe her little dance/whole body wiggle that she does when she's excited, which doesn't necessarily have to be in response to something Tim does/says.

One of my favorite things will forever be how easily Lucy could calm Tim down with a simple touch in 5x18. It was such a sweet gesture that melts me every single time. And because there isn't a reality that I accept in which they don't get back together this season so we'll definitely get to see a kiss or two: the way they just always go in for more, for that little peck because they don't want to part just yet. I would looove to see that again.

Oh my god! Tim's love for her thighs???? That little thigh tap in 5x12 and the barely visible one in 5x19, plus also where he just has his hand there in 5x10 with their first real kiss (🫠) are some of my favorite moments. Not sure how likely it is that we'll see something like that again, but I'd love it if we did.

And honestly, just their silent communication. This might even be my favorite out of all of these because it was there before the romance was. There's just something special about how they've always been able to communicate with a look, how almost entire conversations can pass between them and those around are none the wiser because it's a *them* thing. Just imagine this while they're still broken up.. or, better yet: finding each other's gaze to make sure the other is okay.

I'll probably think of something else as soon as I hit post or tomorrow morning when I wake up, but oh well. I feel like this is already a nice list hehe. Thanks so much for this question!! 🥰

[prettyboyhowl]

Hi is this still alive?

Hi! Sorry everyone for just disappearing, hope you've all been well! I haven't been very active on tumblr at all for a few months now I think - first it was exams and then I went on a long trip and only returned a few days ago lol

In short, yes this is still alive... but progress will probably be slow.

I've just started my final year of school so there may be less time for me to write/more stress -> struggle to gather motivation for writing, but we'll see how it goes! Either way, I don't plan on giving up because I love my characters and I want to see this story through to the end, even if that takes some time :)

(side note: i haven't been keeping up with reading IFs either so i'm definitely hoping to catch up soon hahah)

[lovebugism]

HIT US WITH THE HOTD FICS NOWWWWWWW

as you wish, anon 🫡 i wanna have a fic out by next sunday's episode, but we'll see how that goes hahah (ramblings about said fic below because i'm really really normal about hotd right now)

backstory: reader and aegon have been in love basically their whole lives, but he's eventually betrothed to helaena and reader's betrothed to aemond. it's not a loveless marriage exactly, but it's obvious aemond was not her first choice, and aemond pretends he's okay with that etcetcetc.

the fic i have in mind is basically aegon getting super duper drunk and barging in on aemond and reader having sex (like s2e3 in the brothel) and teaching aemond how to fuck her basically :P aegon's super possessive on the sidelines, aemond's got something to prove, and reader's lowkey reveling in it all hahah

the other two fics i have outlined that may or may not see the light of day follows s2ep1 after jaehaerys is killed and s2ep5-6 when aegon gets hurt (basically just reader struggling to keep her marraige afloat despite her very obvious feelings for aegon)

anyway. thanks for coming to my tedtalk hahaha

[imaginespazzi]

Nivi, just my two cents on how Stephanie (I'm just gonna go with the name for now - love it btw, she totally would name her after Steph - cause I don't wanna keep writing 'the kid' lmao) came to be:

Like totally agree with wanting P to step into a proper parent role, but in terms of Azzi either adopting or opting for a donor, I feel like that's obviously then a very conscious and purposeful decision on Azzi's part to have a kid. Which is totally fine ofc! But idk, I just feel like at that point in her life and career (what, she would have been 25/26? Based on the timeline you gave us), I just don’t see her making that decision already especially if she's gonna be a single parent? Again, not that she couldn't do it, it just feels like she wouldn't.

And I know one-night-stands kinda seem like a cop out or the easy way out of not having to introduce or have the other parent around but I don't think it would be that out of character? People have one night stands, and sometimes sex produces babies no matter how much protection you use ya know 😅. Also, yes I know that choosing to keep the baby is still a conscious decision to have a child but it's not like it was her intention to have a child going into it - am I making sense??

So I guess in that vain, adoption would make sense too, if it was certain circumstances that led to it, rather than her purposefully being like "ok I want to have a kid now and I wanna do it via adoption". Idek I'm sorry if I'm speaking total bullshit.

Again, just my thoughts! Totally ignore if you want!

Other thoughts:

Oooo ok so Stephanie and P have already met in previous games, yes ok I like this development haha. So much potential. I still stand by Tim being the instigator, like he'd go up to P to say hi whenever Azzi's team was playing P's and lil Steph would be hiding behind his leg. 😂 And one day (before P ends up on Azzi's team), P has like a lil toy ready to give to her at one of their games and Stephanie clings on to that toy from then on (despite Azzi's protests).

Hahah yeah I was thinking trade too - well I guess if we wanna be semi-realistic, it could just be that P requested a trade and you know whichever team she was on obvs had to seek the best value and Azzi's team just happened to be the ones to give it to them. And then I can just imagine when P gets the news about the trade going through and realises which team, she's like "oh fuck that's not what I meant" 😭

Also, those flashbacks to when they were together and the time they were apart are gonna hit, I already know (if you choose to incorporate them ofc). Oh my god, like when Azzi goes into labour (if we go the pregnancy route) and she's maybe wishing more than anything that P was there with her or just like moments where she's craving having another person to go through the journey of parenthood with and her subconscious always immediately thinks of P 🥲

And then on the flip side, everytime P comes across baby/kid stuff, she also prolly always ends up thinking of Azzi and lil Steph, even more so after she's met the kid.

I'm also assuming that similar to the UCLA fic, we're not having Azzi tear her ACL again and so they would have both declared for the 2025 draft? Were they already broken up by that point? Cause damn, that would have been a tense and heartbreaking draft night! Cause if they were broken up by then, their break up would potentially have happened in like the week or sum between the natty and draft night? So many possibilities.

I also just remembered that the Fudds have a dog named Curry - damn, Steph getting the dog AND child namesake. He deserves it, i reckon.

Also, some songs I was listening to earlier today that might or might not provide some inspo:

Someday we'll know by Mandy Moore (I was having my annual rewatch of A Walk To Remember and the "someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you" to the "someday you'll know that I was the one for you" made me think of this fic)

Cardigan by Taylor (mainly the bridge/last verse? Yk the one haha)

Strange by Celeste (this is what made me think of the potentially very angsty draft night after they've just broken up)

I miss you, I'm sorry by Gracie ("you said forever and I almost bought it")

Goodnight and go by Ariana (this is kinda for when they're starting to interact more again - like the "why'd you have to be so cute, it's impossible to ignore you" from Azzi's pov)

But like for real Nivi, you never have to incorporate any of my suggestions, this is just me spitballing and hopefully helping you even if it's just to help you decide "oh ok well we're definitely NOT doing THAT" 😂

-🙋‍♀️

Yeah I've been calling her Stephanie, Stephie for short, in my head so I'm pretty sure that's her name now...

My inbox is currently just ask after ask about how they want/think Stephanie came to be (I swear I really would like to reply to everyone but it's just a liiiiitttle bit exhausting) and I'm just very amused but as always, you and I are on the same wavelength. Like I know some people really want sperm donor/adoption (I love y'all I promise), I just can't really see her at that age and at that time of her career, purposefully trying for a child. I think it's different if she decided to keep the child after a ONS because well it's already there? Idk if that makes sense cause I don't know how to say it really but there's just a difference in my head about that?

WAIT I LOVE THAT AWWWW. But yeah Stephie and P have definitely interacted before and even if it's only a couple of times a year, I think they'd already just a little bit enamored, so when P becomes her coach, it doesn't take long for them to become wrapped around each other (spoiler?)

As we all know, I do love my flashback so trust bestie, there will be plenty, some angsty, some fluffy but a lot of flashbacks!

I actually am gonna keep Azzi's injuries in this one cause I want to keep all of the UConn lore similar to reality (yes this is me just wanting to add a cruise scene again...) so they'd actually go to the draft in different years and this may or may not (I'm not even tryna tease I actually haven't decided) play a little bit of a part in the break up (how? idk we'll find out)

LMAO Steph is also an honorary Fudd atp and will absolutely be meeting Stephie at some point in this fic

AH I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR SONGS REC!! Babes have you already made a playslist?? I think my main song for this fic might end up being Last Kiss by Taylor Swift (yes another Taylor Swift song I know) because "so I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep" just feels very apt for them.

I love your suggestions as always babes and I hope you have more <3

SR Ace Trappola Apprentice Chef Personal Story: Part 1

"Master Chef"

Part 1 (Part 2)

[Cafeteria – Judging Venue]

Master Chef ― Ace Version ～ Let’s Make Minestrone 1～

­―A little while before cooking starts.

Ace: Welp, here goes Master Chef. It's a bit of a pain, but I'll just bang out this class as fast as I can.

Idia: Sheesh, he was all smiles during the greetings, but now he's completely changed… I can't understand these kinds of folk with their absurd communication skills…

Ace: Hm? Did you say something? Why the long face, Idia-senpai?

Idia: Eeek!? N-N-N-No, uh… N-Nothing… It's just…

Idia: J-Just that you look real confident… But does anything in the world really go that smoothly, I wonder?

Ace: It'll be fine. It's a program aimed towards amateurs, so it's not gonna be anything too difficult!

Ghost Chef: Alright, you two, we're about to start. Ace-kun, Idia-kun, start heading towards the kitchen.

Ace: Okaaay! Thanks for taking us under your wing!

[Kitchen]

Ghost Chef: Now, we're going to have you make a Minestrone, Ace-kun.

Ghost Chef: We have in stock some thick and tasty looking bell peppers today, so let's try to put more in the soup than normal.

Ace: A minestrone, huh… Sure, sure, that's that tomato-flavored soup that we sometimes get on our lunch plates.

Ace: That's got a ton of ingredients, sounds like it'll be a hassle. Is this really something a beginner like me should be doing?

Ghost Chef: Hahah, no need to act up. All you'll have to do is cut up the ingredients and let them simmer.

Ace: Really? That's it? Whaaaat, that's so easy!

Ghost Chef: But, like you said, there are a ton of ingredients, so you'll need to put in a little bit of effort.

Ghost Chef: Alright, let's start with cutting this bell pepper in half lengthwise. Once you've taken out all the seeds, cut it up into smaller pieces.

Ace: Okaaay. How small are you wanting it?

Ghost Chef: For this dish, we want the bell pepper to be the main ingredient, so it should be a bit bigger than the other ingredients… Maybe about 2cm squares.

Ace: 2 cm squares, huh. Gotcha.

[chop, chop, chop, chop, chop…]

Ghost Chef: Good, good, not bad. They're all really close in sizes, and you're handling that knife well.

Ace: Heheh, thaaaanks. I haven't really used knives that much, but I've watched the upperclassmen use them back in the dorm all the time.

Ghost Chef: Ah, right, you're a Heartslabyul student. Do you often help out with making their pastries?

Ace: Yeah, sometimes I get stuck with that duty. But usually I'm just helping out the upperclassmen, so I don't know how to do anything too difficult.

Ghost Chef: I see, so you learned this from watching them. You must have been really skilled to be able to pick these abilities just by watching.

Ace: Thanks! But hey, this is pretty easy, so.

Ghost Chef: Haha, well, that's promising to hear. Then, I'll bring over the other ingredients, so go ahead and chop up the remaining bell peppers for me.

Ace: Okaaaay ♪

Ace: …Whew. Just like I thought, it's not that hard at all.

Ace: Doo-doo ♪ Master Chef is the bestest～ ♪

Ghost Chef: Oh my, aren't you in a good mood? Have you finished cutting up the bell peppers?

Ace: Ah, I'm almost done…

Ace: EH!!?

[THUD]

Ace: Ch-Chef… What's with this crateful of veggies…? You're not saying that I'm gonna be using all of these now―

Ghost Chef: Ahahah, well, of course there isn't a pot out there in the universe that can hold this much.

Ace: Ahahah, riiiight! Whew, that scared me…

Ghost Chef: Well, in the end, I'll have you go through everything here. But for now, I think you only need this many onions, and…

[THUD]

Ghost Chef: This should be enough for one dish.

Ace: JUST ONE DISH!? AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I'M GONNA BE CHOPPING UP THE REST OF THE VEGGIES AFTER THIS, TOO?!

Ghost Chef: That's right～ Soup is a popular dish, both by itself, and as part of a set, so we'll need a lot of ingredients.

Ghost Chef: We're not only going to be making the minestrone in this pot, but in a few others as well, so we'll have you prepare it all!

Ace: You serious…? Sure, it's just cutting up veggies, but still, this amount is just…

Ghost Chef: Oh come now, you're so skilled, Ace-kun, so I'm sure it will end swiftly! Now here, start peeling these onions!

Ace: Yessir…

Ace: ...I take back what I said earlier. SURE IT AIN'T DIFFICULT, BUT THERE'S JUST WAY TOO MUCH TO DO!!!!!

[pretty-idol-hell]

Idol Land PriPara episode 7

Idol Land PriPara episode 7 was released today for monthly pass holders! It will be available for the general population on 11/1.

The PriPara Police are back!

With Ajimi too, riding a wave of hashtags? I wonder if this is why we've gotten a few Ajimi coords in Prism Stone lately. (Well, I guess her birthday's coming up too.)

Anyway, ever since Mario broke into PriPara the bugs have been out of control.

Dorothy sells Meganii some special spray for 5000 idollars that ends up being glasses spray, not bug spray!! HAHAH!

Disappointing monetization, pointless hashtags, and countless bugs. You have to hand it to them for being self-aware.

Anyway, Amari is still feeling guilty for all this and after being confronted by the others she finally tells them everything. Upon hearing her story, Meganii supplements that when Amari entered PriPara, a high load was put on the system and the brand Fullmetal Rabbit mysteriously appeared.

LAALA'S REACTION HAHAHAHHAAA. This scene pans across all the characters looking concerned and Laala just :D

Anyway, despite everyone not being all that phased, Amari is still humiliated by her "dark past" and comes up with an excuse to run away as fast as possible.

She goes back to her room, where she throws everything she has related to Mario and her "dark past" into a trash bag. As she does this, Mario realizes he's disappearing faster than ever.

Amari is interrupted by her school's Gloria clone before he can disappear completely though, and Mario is more determined than ever to make sure no one ever forgets him.

Still, Amari vows never to visit PriPara again... until she realizes she forgot her wasabi mayo and sneaks back in only to be caught in a trap by Pepper.

No worries though, Pepper won't eat Amari since "weak creatures have lean meat".

But this is how Amari runs into Non Sugar and ends up at their hideout. Despite Non assuring Amari that she has no reason to run from SoLaMi Dressing, Amari just can't get over the embarrassment and is sure everyone is laughing at her (especially Dorothy). Amari's constant crying reminding Non of Laala the day before summer vacation ends, she takes pity on Amari so Non and Non Sugar dry her tears and comfort her.

But Non Sugar has other things to do! They are working on a new Making Drama for their special performance tonight!

However, things quickly derail when Pepper's friends from the Sapana visit, causing a conflict with Chili, and Ajimi blows through on top of that.

Amari tries to get Non to escape with her, but Non refuses to back down. Eventually, she manages to blast away Ajimi and calm her teammates, reminding them that they decided that they are the only ones who can awaken Yui and save PriPara!

But they never finished their Making Drama. But here is where Amari shakily steps in to tell them that they already have, and how she was moved by their determination not to run away or something like that. So, Non Sugar decides to run with it!

These coords! These are the ones that they got from winning the Prism Stone poll, right!?

And Spicy Hotcake!!!!

But okay. Since Sugarless Friend was on the Switch, I'm thinking it will probably be the next song added to the game. (As a paid song I'm sure, but still, 300 yen is worth it for some non sweet Non Sugar I think.)

The Non Sugar SCR! I thought it was so unfair during season 3 that they had to share, but it is super cute.

So, did Non Sugar have the power needed to free Yui? Maybe they actually did. We'll never know because Mario's Cyalume Tornado interferes.

After the live, Amari sees Non writing her meticulous notes and is reminded of her own notebook. The others confront Amari and convince her that everyone has their own dark past she has nothing to worry about. Amari "chakiros" with Non Sugar, officially becoming friends, before heading home.

After landing in the trash pile she threw her stuff into, Amari decides to save her notebook after all.

Upon opening it up and looking at the ripped page, she suddenly remembers she gave Mario a weak point.

If only she could remember what it was....

Hello dear rhythm!! I’m glad that your rest was fruitful 💜 i do hope u get some more “me time” soon. I think i kinda have a lot to say but so little brain cells left so lemme just ramble 🥹 (sorry in advance cuz this is definitely not proofread)

ask me things

[thenightlymirror]

At the end of the day, I'm saying my last goodbyes. Howard gives me the speech about how it was great working with me. I walk to the back and say good to Vicki and Elena.

They both give me hugs.

Elena's giving me a hug and something happens where my glasses lightly touch the sunglasses she has on top of her head, and my glasses snap in half and fall right off my face.

Hahahaha

This is like, the last moment of my last day at this job. And right before I leave, I'm blinded.

I'm supposed to be leaving to see Carlene at her place in Elmhurst an hour away because she's making me fajitas, but I can barely see 6 inches in front of my face. I can't even drive home.

Howard is like "Is this seriously the last image I'm ever going to have of you? Pathetically blind and trying to tape your glasses back together?"

And I was like, "Yes Howard. It is."

Elena wants to help, to drive me somewhere. I say, please just drive to the CVS on the corner to buy me some crazy glue.

She leaves. Vicki is there trying to tape my glasses but it isn't working. So, she's on her phone trying to find the nearest eyeglass place. There's a LensCrafters at the mall across the street, an appointment in ten minutes

So I call. I explain. I'm like, if one of my soon-to-be-former coworkers drives me over there, can you do anything to get me glasses again/save my vision?

They're like, yeah, if we have your frames, we'll just pop your old lenses in the new frames. And you buy the frames I was like Hell Yes.

Elena drives me there. This Russian woman I've fought with for months. Just the worst.

I'm on the phone, she's like trying to interject about trying to get some discount on my glasses... hahah I'm just like "JUST LET ME SEE AGAIN"

I blindly make my way through the parking lot. We get in. Nice girl helps us out. Elena is looking at glasses trying to get me to try them on.

The girl comes back. She's like, "Here’s your old frames, just for old times sake."

And Elena's like, "Anthony, you have to throw those away."

And I'm like, "No, Elena, I have to keep it for my Ship of Theseus altar to my past selves, of all the things that have fallen off my body"

I'm making the LensCrafters girl laugh.

Elena goes, "If you want. I can leave you here so you can hit on this girl as much as you want."

Hahahahaha

And I'm like "IM BLIND"

"Even when I'm blind... nothing will turn it off!”

Ugh. But, i got my new glasses, exactly like the old ones. Paid for them.

The girl was cute. Turns out.

Hahaha

I was dying laughing.

What a fucking Coxian end to my day. Elena drove me back. It was like nothing happened.

Just lost an hour of my life.

[butchfluids]

Oh baby you’re more than fine now 😏

baby I feel like I could sleep for 13 hours, but we'll see how that actually goes hahah

[hischierlovebot]

Ah yes okay I see, that makes sense then! I hate French (whoops I said it🫣). I’d choose German over French any day. I personally love the Scandinavian languages and find them to be quite ‘easy’ to learn.

Oh that really is a thing, most people I know love camping because they already used to go as kids.

Hahah well if it works it works 😂🙌🏼. Ah yeah the poor boy.

That’s good, happy for you!

I have to do some stuff for work and gonna try and upload a fic. And of course the camping! What about you?

HELLO. So, first things first, I'm really really sorry about disappearing for over 2 months 😅 I have no excuse other than that summer got busy, went on vacation, spent 3 weeks watching the Olympics and my brain apparently needed a reset because every time I tried to come back here, I would close the app 5 seconds in. I am still in the process of returning, and very sorry for basically disappearing 😅

I have to admit I'm not the biggest lover of French but I had studied it before when I was at school and it's kinda similar to Spanish, enough that it's easier to learn it, so I went with it! Afterwards I'd like to learn German/Italian, one would probably be more useful, the other much easier 😂 Scandinavian languages sound so cool too! I'd love to learn to speak at least one of them but I'm not sure if they'd be easy to learn for me, we'll have to check and see how it goes I guess.

My summer was busy but nice, I hope yours too! How was the camping? Did you manage to finish the fic? ❤️❤️
