Horny on Main Loser Bracket Round 2: Ray (Only Friends) vs Sailom (Wedding Plan)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Ray: "When the dick is so good it makes you want to go to rehab"

Sailom: no propaganda submitted

[bluecollarmcandtf]

"Dude, I'm in your brother-in-law!"

Panic twists your gut as the bizarre scene sinks in! Those unnaturally clouded eyes are the trademark of Jimmy, your long-dead friend, and they're sitting in the skull of Carlos, your sister's fiance! The ghost is up to his usual antics, possessing yet another guy in your life without any regard to you.

"Did you imagine a tight gym rat like this would wear undies like these?" Jimmy chuckles, referring to Carlos' patterned boxers, "I mean how could you be so intimidated by a guy who's got hearts on his crotch?"

The underwear is the least of your worries: the man is supposed to be walking down the aisle in an hour! It may have been a dick move for your sister to get engaged to your high school bully, but that didn't mean you wanted her future husband to be late to the altar!

"Don't even bother asking me to get out of this body, dude!" the deep baritone of Carlos sings with Jimmy's cadence, "The only thing I plan on getting out of is this tux! Training like this needs to be appreciated, and who better to appreciate it than you? I'm sure you'd love to know what your sister is getting tonight..."

"I mean just look at these abs. It's like a rock hard washboard if you want a feel..." Jimmy winks one of his starkly blank eyes at you, "...speaking of being rock hard, it looks like you're enjoying this bonding time with your new brother-in-law. After all, Carlos does need to apologize for all the bullying he did in high school."

With a racing heart, you shush him and beg for Johnny to leave. He needs to return Carlos to normal before anyone notices! The wedding would be over if someone found the groom naked and flirting with the brother of the bride!

"If you're gonna be my new little bro..." Jimmy says with an unsettlingly accurate impression of Carlos' demeanor, "...then I think you should get to know me. Come on and grab my fat, meaty pecs; pinch my nipples; let me know who the real man is around here..."

It's hard to resist. You've only ever caught stolen glances at Carlos. The jerk would always shove you into a locker when he caught you staring in his direction, yet now he was begging for your attention.

"Come on, bro. Grab my athletic little ass and grope my crotch. It's the least I can do after targeting you for all these years."

Before you realize what you're doing, you find yourself rushing towards the shredded latino and pressing yourself against his exposed body, layered with dense musculature. Part of you still expected Carlos to kick you in the nuts and call you a slur, but his lips instead gleefully embrace your own.

"Damn, if I'd known being queer was this good, I woulda married you and not your sister!" he exclaims. You just roll your eyes, knowing Carlos isn't actually saying these things. Jimmy is just puppeteering his mouth for your amusement, "I bet having your dick in my mouth will be better than the tits of any girl! The only way a piece of crap like me can apologize is on my knees..."

You stifle a moan as all 200 lbs of the naked jock drops to his knees with a dopey grin. Carlos' soulless eyes stare at the tent in your pants like it's the most desirable thing in the world. It doesn't take long for him to unbuckle your pants and open his mouth...

...twenty minutes later, you're still catching your breath while Carlos slowly redresses.

"Now you can watch your sister marry this homophobic dirtbag and know that you've shoved your shaft down his throat," Jimmy purrs, enjoying his final moments in Carlos' form, "I'm not going to brush his teeth, so he'll have to taste you throughout the entire wedding."

You giggle at the thought of the guy wondering about the strange flavor in his mouth while reading his vows. Somehow, Carlos doesn't seem as big or intimidating as he once did.

"If it were up to me, I'd commandeer his whole life," Jimmy went on with a sparkle of enthusiasm in Carlos' clouded retinas, "I'd walk him out there in nothing but his heart-patterned undies and announce to his whole family that he's a flaming homosexual. Then I'd like to spend a couple weeks working his body as a stripper at the nearest club, and of course I'd come home to you every night..."

The idea of Carlos coming out to his orthodox family and working as a stripper is an insane one, but it did turn you on. It's too bad your sister's taken a liking towards him, otherwise, you'd tell Jimmy to go crazy with the guy.

"Imagine your old high school bully coming home to you every night, hot and sweaty from dancing all day, with a new skimpy costume for you to explore. Damn, I'd want you to find a new way to degrade me each night while I wore him. It'd be healthy, I think, after all he's put you through."

Jimmy's crazy ideas never cease to amaze you. A little time belittling Carlos sounds hot as hell!

You give Carlos one last kiss and remind your paranormal buddy that he has to leave soon. The stud frowns, looking sad that he won't be possessed by a gay spirit anymore. At least you know that if this man ever screws up, if he ever wrongs your sister, if he ever hurts her; Jimmy is just one seance away from charging back in his body and making this twisted fantasy come true. It's only a matter of time before Carlos screws up his marriage, and then he's yours.

You almost can't wait for your sister's marriage to fall apart, and it hasn't even begun...

100% your choice

Pairings: Maverick x Daguther!Reader, Penny Benjamin x Daughter!Reader, Maverick x Penny Benjamin

Warnings: fluff

Masterlist

As soon as The Daggers were back from the Uranium Mission Maverick proposed to Penny and it was an instant yes. He loved her and she loved him. There was no way she was gonna say no and that made him smile. They spent a year being engaged and they finally married on the beach right in front of The Hard Deck. The ceremony was beautiful, it was done right at sunset when the sun was going down over the horizon with a soft breeze that moved her dress and her bridesmaid’s dresses. Amelia was Penny’s maid of honor and Bradley was the best man, they took getting the ceremony perfect seriously and they did not disappoint.

When the wedding was over the reception was taken inside of The Hard Deck but it had spilled out onto the beach. It was perfect all the way around. As the night was winding down, they pulled Ameila over to the side and had a conversation with her. “Congratulations to you both! I’m so happy to have you as a father, Mav.” Amelia said and that brought a smile to his face.

“I’m happy to have you as a daughter. Speaking of kids.” He trailed off and she got a look of excitement on her face.

“Wait, is mom pregnant?” She asked and they both laughed but shook their heads.

“No, honey but we were wondering how you would feel if another kid was brought into this family.” Penny asked

“Yes! A little sibling would be great, especially a little sister.” She said looking at them and smiled.

“We just wanted to clear it with you before we started to try.” Mav said and she smiled.

“Thank you. Thank you for asking me and making my mom happy.” She said to Mav while hugging him.

“Of course, you girls mean the world to me and this baby will too.” Maverick said

The rest of the night went without a hitch and now they were being shipped off to their honeymoon in Jamaica.  

They got pregnant on their first try which was on the last day of their honeymoon. Which was a surprise but it was not unwelcomed. They found out officially a week later and were ecstatic. After the first trimester they were comfortable with telling everyone and they were so happy for them that it was unreal. The two that were probably more excited than the parents were Ameila and Bradley.

9 months later they were welcoming a beautiful healthy baby girl, Y/N Y/M/N Mitchell aka you, into their lives. Penny was a little jealous, not really, that you were the spitting image of her father but was actually happy that Maverick got his mini me and she just knew that you both were going to be trouble together and boy was she right but she had it handled. After all she has put up with Maverick this long.

3 years later you were running around and wreaking havoc but they wouldn’t have any other way. Amelia had gone away to college just a state over and you missed her dearly. Your parents made sure to keep you busy and you had weekly phone calls with your older sister and sometimes Skype sessions. Most of the time your dad was with you so it was you and him having the same guilty look on both of your faces as your mother scolded you both. After she was done scolding you both would have that signature Mitchell smirk on your face and she couldn’t help rolling her eyes and smile while shaking her head. You loved copying your dad in whatever he did, whether that be mimicking his actions or pulling pranks on people. You admired him and never wanted to let him down.

Since Maverick was getting older, he had planned on working out more to stay in top physical shape. The Daggers had planned on working out after work and Penny had planned on picking you up from the daycare on base but something had happened in the bar that needed her assistance. Maverick had just finished his paperwork for the day when his phone started to ring, he looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his wife.

“Hey beautiful.” He said and that made Penny smile.

“Hey something came up at the bar. Can you pick up Y/N/N and take her to the gym with you and bring her home?” She asked and he smiled.

“Of course, everyone is gonna love seeing her.” He said

“I know she is going to love seeing Bradley.” She said and they both chuckled. You did love Bradley but that wasn’t a surprise to anyone after all he was your big brother. “I’ll see you both at home.” She said

“Yes, you will. I love you.” Maverick said

“I love you too.” Penny said and then they both hung up the phone.

Maverick packed his stuff up and walked out of his office making sure he had his keys, phone, and other things he needed. As he was walking out, he had run into The Daggers. “You headed to the gym, Pops?” Jake asked.

“I am but first I need to go and pick up Y/N.” He said and everyone got happy.

“Oh, Y/N is going to be joining us?” Bob asked and Maverick nodded.

“Yup, something came up at the bar that needed Penny’s attention.” Maverick said “Now, if you excuse me. I need to go and pick up my child.” He said and everyone nodded and then he was on his way.

He reached the daycare pretty quickly and walked in and up to the desk. The receptionist smiled “Admiral Mitchell! Here to pick up Y/N?” She asked.

“Hi, Brittnay. Yes, I am here to pick her up.” He said and she smiled.

“Great! Just sign the sheet and I’ll go and get her.” She said and he nodded. As he was signing the sheet, he could hear his child’s laughter and he smiled. Once he was done, he put down the pen and turned out just in time to see you come prancing down the hallway, you were chatting away with Brittany about nothing really. When you saw your dad, you smiled.

“Dada!” You shouted and hurried to him and he picked you up.

“Hi, Sweetheart.” He said and you threw your arms around him. “Did you have a good day?” He asked and you nodded. He thanked Brittnay and then he was on his way. “You wanna go and see Bradley?” He asked and you lit up.

“Bubba?” You asked and he smiled. You had started calling him that when you saw him and could speak.

“Yea, Bubba.” He said and you squealed. On the way to the gym, you were pointing out things and he would confirm them. When he reached the gym, he opened the door and saw that everyone had already started.

“Bubba!” You shouted when you saw Bradley and he looked up and smiled and walked over to you.

“Hey there, Munchkin. You have a good day?” He asked and you nodded and you made grabby hands for him and he took you.

“Sweetheart, you stay with Bradley while I go and get changed. Ok?” He asked and you nodded and watched him leave. Bradley had moved over back to where he was working out and you were looking at everyone in awe. Not even 4 minutes later Maverick was coming out and joining you and Bradley.

“Dada.” You said and he smiled and bent down and kissed you which made you giggle. He picked up a weight and started to do some lifting and you watched him carefully. You stood up and walked over to the weights and Bradley took notice of this. He walked over and found the 1 lb weight and handed it to you and you smiled and took it from him. He got his phone out and turned it to his camera and got the video ready, Penny was gonna love this.

You watched Maverick and started to copy his moves while having the most intense look of concentration on your face. Everyone started to awe and chuckle. Maverick looked over wondering what was going on and Nat pointed at you and he looked over and smiled. “Are you copying daddy?” He asked and you looked up at him and smiled.

“Dada.” You said and he chuckled after a minute or so Bradley stopped recording and sent it to Penny. The rest of the time at the gym you spent copying Maverick or someone else and they were eating it up. By the time everyone was done, showered, and ready to go you were exhausted. Nat was done the quickest and stayed with you until Maverick was done getting refreshed. He walked out and thanked her and then was picking you up and heading home. 

When you got home Maverick quickly parked and shut off the engine and then unloaded you. Penny had already been home and had supper cooking. “Mama!” You yelled out when you walked through the door and she smiled.

“Hi, Baby Girl.” She said and took you from Maverick “Did you have a good day with daddy?” She asked and you nodded.

“Bubba.” You said and she smiled.

“Did you get to see Bubba?” She asked and you nodded and she kissed the side of your head. “Supper will be ready soon.” She said Maverick nodded and kissed her. Maverick made busy with you while Penny finished supper. “I saw the video Bradley sent.” She said turning the stove off and grabbing plates while fixing them up, first she brought yours and his and then got hers.

“What did you think?” He asked while he ate and fed you.

“It was adorable.” She said

“She just went over the weight selection and I’m assuming Bradley helped her pick a very light weight one.” He said

“Bubba?” You asked when you heard Bradley’s name.

“Yea Bubba helped, didn’t he?” Maverick asked and you picked up your fork and got a piece of food and put it in your mouth, something they had been working with you on. Supper was finished quickly and they cleaned everything up and then they gave you a bath. You were quick to go down after all you had a long and exciting day.

Penny and Maverick returned to the living room and sat down to watch some TV while you slept. As they were picking something Penny turned to Maverick “You know she is the miniature version of you, right?” She asked and he stopped and looked at her and smiled.

“Yea, I know. Just wait until she wants to be a pilot when she grows up.” He said and they chuckled.

“Knowing her and with her being just like you I fully intend on her doing so. She has too many cool aunts and uncles and let’s not forget she is surrounded by the Navy.” She said and again they chuckled then she turned serious “Just don’t pull her papers. You don’t want another Bradley incident.” She said and he grimaced.

“No, I don’t. If she wants to go there and become like her old man and her aunts and uncles, I will fully support her.” He said and Penny smiled.

“I have no doubt about that.” She said and then she turned to the TV and they picked something. They snuggled into each other and enjoyed the rest of the night together knowing you were safe and sound to sleep in your room.

If you’re anything like Maverick then the Navy better watch out because they have another Mitchell heading their way because you are going to come in strong and not stopping until you had reached the best of the best, aka Top Gun.

'Another Bite' Yandere Damian Wayne x E.D. Reader Part 1 *TW*

Reader has an eating disorder, in the past it was really bad, but has since gotten better. Damian wants a baby, but doesnt tell reader. 

Reader's ED is a mix of bulimic, avoidant, and anorexic symptoms. Reader mostly restricts.

Female reader

***MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING***

Part 1 is mostly Damian POV / Damian centric

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Skinny" "Skin and Bones" "EW! Your Bones Are Showing!" "You weigh 100 lbs soaking wet."        "I could snap you in half" "Do you eat??" "How are you so skinny" "Thin" "Underweight"

Music to her ears. 

Y/n steps on the scale, with a number in her head. She already has regiments ready post-weigh in. If she hits her goal, she may exercise snack and relax. If she does not hit her goal, she must exercise twice as hard, snack the same, and weigh in again. Y/n has been slowly, very slowly, recovering from her eating disorder. Progress is progress to y/n, but Damian feels differently. He knows her schedule by now. Wake up, look in mirror, go to bathroom, weigh on scale. What happens next depends on the numbers. Numbers on glass. That's all that matters to her. The love of his broken life. 

Damian and y/n have been engaged for 2 years, dating for not much more. Damian saw his beloved and refused to wait. Y/n got his attention and could not say no. Y/n was amazed she bagged this Tall Dark and Handsome, but he was carefully moving through with his plans. His precious Y/N had no self esteem, it was almost too easy. What was not so easy was actually marrying her. Every time Damian tried to sit her down and talk about their next Forever something came up. With the time it took to plan a wedding and his unpredictable schedule time passed him by without mercy. Damian understood he had a duty to Gotham and Earth, but this was eating him alive. Every month was another bite to his sanity. He was proud to have her as his fiancee, but without the true bond of marriage he felt she could leave him at any moment. He felt unsteady, like it could blow at any moment. Whether Damian is referring to himself or the relationship, who knows. All he knows is that just being engaged is not enough. Damian wants MORE. Damian wants NOW. 

What better time to have a baby?

Damian soothes himself in this fantasy of his beautiful y/n settled in the manor with his child in her arms. Her soft body fresh from childbirth, resting in one of the many living rooms. She chooses to sit in front of a window for the warmth of the sunlight as she is still so small. He walks over to greet them and his child beats him to it. A loud babble rings into the high ceiling. His baby looks up at him and wiggles their chubby fingers. Y/n giggles and leans up to kiss him. Her wedding ring reflects a sparkling light across the walls. This. This is all he has ever wanted. 

He is dragged back to reality with his darling bounding back to the mirror. She is at her goal, he thinks. She examines her body and he does the same. How her hip bones poke out above her underwear, creating a void right in the front. How her hands look so skeletal when she stretches. How her womb looks so damn empty. another bite. She finishes her secondary inspection, happy with her body and smiles towards him. He just can't help himself, and smiles back. Damian thinks she would be happier, feel more beautiful, and most of all be more attached to him after a baby. He could care less what the numbers say, he just wants his y/n. He wants her attached to him. He wants her pining for him as hard as he does for her. He wants her stuck with him. He wishes he could will all of his romantic competition away. No other person deserves to see her, speak to her, or know she exists. His possessiveness seems to rise as her weight seems to fall. Damian almost cannot handle the pressure. He is acutely aware of how the media presents their relationship, how gala attendees hound her for a dance, or how there have been plenty of attempted kidnappings already. He wants nothing more than to put a ring on her finger, sign his name on the dotted line, and make it official. 

This world is too cruel for his y/n. It would be much better for her if he could finally protect her from it. Damian wanted to give in to his nature, but generous y/n had other ideas. For all the pain she has endured, y/n only gives back in love. She enjoys volunteering around Gotham and going out for errands. Always on time at her job and sometimes puts in extra hours. A breath of fresh air is all y/n needs to start her day off right. This brightness almost sickens Damian, even if it is part of what attracted him in the first place. An involved member of the community, kind, and hard working. another bite. Damian can't help it. He needs her safe. In the Manor. Where there are no others. She would have everything she needs and anything more within reach. She would live in luxury without the incessant pestering of rude reporters or colleagues. He finds a multitude of excuses to justify his feelings and behavior. He is just so in love. So in love he needs her to carry his seed and his last name. 

In his madness, Damian completely mapped her routine and natural cycle. Catching every missed period, documenting every symptom, and how changes affect each cycle. He also knows y/n's personal history, for scientific purposes of course. Understanding his y/n of the past can help him understand the y/n of the present and future! It is a good strategy, not invasive at all. Damian concludes that for his plan to work, every detail will be evaluated. Damian will distract Y/n from the scale more and more. Damian will alter her meals to add extra calories. Damian will offer to exercise with her, all in an effort to change her routine. Correction, break her routine. If Damian cannot find the peace in his life to make a marriage and baby happen, he will force it. As the fiancee of heir to the Wayne fortune, a pregnancy can be devastating. Photographers would plaster her belly on every screen and tabloid, reporters would dare ask who the father is, handsy businessmen would go in for a touch. But as wife of the heir to the Wayne fortune, a pregnancy would solidify the future. Photographers would never be allowed past lot boundaries, reporters would only have the chance to address Mrs. Wayne when Damian was with her, and any man who touches his y/n would get the sword. or *ahem* "Disappear Mysteriously". 

Damian doubts his beloved, in her current state, could carry a child to term. Her petite frame would most likely need assistance during the birth. Damian has researched every complication that could happen to a small underweight mother. Damian fears she could relapse in the middle of her pregnancy and miscarry the baby. Then it would be all the way to square one. He knows she would have nowhere else to turn to if she got pregnant. She would get tired more easily. She would have to take maternity leave. She would start showing. She would have to start wearing baggier clothes. She would have to hide from the public. She would eventually be found out. His mind races with all the consequences of y/n becoming pregnant, and technically out of wedlock! 

She would have to marry him.

If he could just get her to gain a few more pounds...

Damian fools himself into the idea that everything would be perfect if he could just get y/n pregnant. She would want to keep the baby right? RIGHT? How could she think of aborting HIS prized spawn? And now carrying his baby, her life would have to change. No more weigh ins, no more cutting calories, no more intense exercise. Adding the benefit of his beloved having stable health, she could focus more on him. On the new baby. No more going out, no more chatting with random office workers, NO MORE. Most importantly, he could finally marry his y/n. He would push the marriage with the added stress of a baby fresh in her mind. another bite. 

Damian cannot lose. He would sell the idea of security to her, without telling her exactly how. He would make promises of safety, without telling her what she would lose in the process. He would talk about how "happy" they would be, without considering y/n's feeling toward this life changing event.

With his feelings running wild, Damian invites his precious darling back to bed... for a 'different' kind of exercise. Excusing any form of birth control, he instead brings her focus on how good he makes her feel. How good he can treat her. How good this is. 

Almost too easy.

Hey, Flightfoot! I keep failing to track down a fic from years ago and I wondered if maybe you could help me.

I’m 90% sure it was a onechapter and I read it in like 2021 or 2022.

LB and CN we’re getting married but they couldn’t say who they were so they like went out of the city to do it in costume. But marinette made her own wedding dress and adrian saw it so he figures it out.

Mostly it was about ayla and ninno who also figured it out because they recognized each other as the wedding party before they even made it to the chirch.

"Something Old, Something New, Something Spotted, and Something Mew" by @emmalylis

After a decade of partnership, Ladybug and Chat Noir decide to get married. It’s still too dangerous to reveal their identities to each other, though, so they decide to have a small ceremony in a private chapel with one guest each. It’s the perfect plan. Or it would be, if the maid of honor and the best man weren’t very familiar with each other.

Somehow I missed this fic when it first came out! Which surprises me, it's right up my alley and is by an author I generally like.

[sinshiney]

i would love to know about the non-existent griddlehark Jupiter ascending au. please.

nnnNNNHGGG YESSs okay so, this is also technically a Nova au because I love when Harrow gets to punch things.

Gideon is the genetic match for Jod's late daughter, Prince Kiriona, and she replaces her as his new heir. She works at a Renaissance Faire during the summer between semesters at university and makes extra money by selling her plasma.

Since Kiriona's death, the Lyctors (Mercy, Augustine, and newcomer Ianthe) have been arguing over how her inheritance should be divided up and Gideon showing up throws a wrench into everyone's plans. Ianthe was hoping to use Kiriona's death to rise in the ranks of the Lyctors, but realizes that she's being shut out by Mercy and Augustine. She sends Harrow (an indentured servant and former soldier/ Gideon's new catboy girlfriend) to retrieve Gideon with the intention of getting into Jod's good graces.

Coronabeth and Camilla are mercenaries who have been working the RennFaire for weeks to get close to Gideon. Corona keeps trying to murder her for Ianthe's sake, and Camilla is trying her best to keep Gideon from walking straight into sexy, sexy death. Harrow shows up, makes a lot of noise, inadvertently sets half the faire on fire, and immediately kidnaps Gideon.

That's all I've got so far! I just thought it would be really fun to have an angry Nova catgirl supersoldier who's Jod's perfect killing machine but she only weighs 8 lbs and Gideon keeps scritching her ears. Plus the actual TLT parallel of people constantly dressing Gideon up like a doll. Also, Harrow gets to break up Gideon and Ianthe's wedding.

Also also, please consider the 'i like dogs' scene:

Gideon : Maybe it's my genes. Maybe I have defective engineering, too. [moving closer] And if that's the case... is there any way to fix it?

Nova: [backing away] You are royalty now. I'm a Splice. You don't understand what that means but... I have more in common with a cat than I have with you.

Gideon: I love cats. I've always loved cats.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

11.7.2024 Here's what happened in 2025

I have decided that my life doesn't have to be hard and I am going to accept the help of others. In 2025 I:

I did so well in my internship! I think all of the cute coffee shops, and library visits helped! I started also

👗😲💄Lost 60 lbs: the clothes I buy are so cute now. I'm so glad I didn't wait until the weight was gone in order to lose weight. I never thought people would think that I'm stylish, but dressing up before I lost weight really helped me with my personal style and now I always feel put together.

🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘I became a yoga teacher :) - I gained so much confidence and start teaching morning yoga and I had a blast!

💅✌️😌I opened my award winning beauty/wellness office - so many people supported me. I was so blessed and excited and I was able to help so many people!

🎓🎒🏫I finished my degrees and walked a few stages - It was so cool walking stages that younger me thought I never could. My family was so excited for me and we made a big trip out of my graduation trips!

🏯🚢🏝️I traveled to Tokyo, Bali, and went on a cruise

😃💖🏢I got the job of my dreams - A lot of people supported me during the process and I got an offer that I couldn't believe the offer I got! My benefits are amazing. I can't believe it!

💒👰🤵I got eloped in a beautiful little chapel surround by friends and family - I think my selkie gave old Hollywood in the 50s/60s we looked so cute and I enjoyed our intimate wedding. Omegamart was so fun and we even tried some good foods!

🤳🛍️💸I was able to make some money from content creation - not gonna lie, I felt really stupid at first, and at first no one looked at my channel, but one day it just took off. Little by little bit by bit I made it.

🙌😁🤝I inspired others around me to take action - Some of my family and friends even decided to go back to school after seeing my success.

🏠👩‍🦱🏪I got my new dream apartment in my favorite area - I can't believe this apartment, even with my previous credit issues. I got some months free in a new apartment and if I want to do something fun I don't even have to use my car!

🐶🦴🥣I got a Frenchie and a toy poodle - I really struggled naming them but they are so cute! They are healthy and get along great with my dog!

✈️🌍💼I traveled to see my mom - I love seeing her and spending time with her friends and us going to the spa, thank God I was able to work Remotely for a while.

⚡💲🔮I invested over $10,000 in the market - I almost didn't learn yoga, because the internet said I wouldn't make much money, but I took a chance I made so much money and even saw some growth in my other business that allowed me to invest in the market and see awesome returns!

In 2025 I was so amazed to see all that I had accomplished and all that God blessed me with when I finally let go and let God and actually showed up I was amazed how much I accomplished. When I let those that love me help me and stopped feeling like I had to do it the hard way, play small, work "hard" or do it alone I thrived. I received so many offers for good paying jobs, with great benefits before I even finished my internship or degree. I am so thankful that I stopped planning and started living, stop worrying about things that didn't matter I became the woman of MY dreams. I lost some people who weren't interested in the real me, but I gained so many friends, mentors, and good acquaintances. I am thankful for all I gained, and even what I lost because I know it led me to where I am now and I can't wait to see what 2026 has in store!

Personal Inventory - What the hell happened over the last 7 years?

I have been contemplating it ever since I first became aware it was going on, and I am going to share a few insights into what I think happened. I am not sure even now that I completely understand why it happened, but maybe my putting it down into my Tumblr blog will allow me to see it in perspective.

What I'm talking about is this: I started a health, fitness and weight loss journey back in the summer of 2013. No formal diet, just get in some good exercise and eat healthy foods, lay off the fast food and carbonated drinks, make it a lifestyle change instead of a diet or a quick fix. For four years it worked: I went from a weight of 290 (almost certainly more than that before I started weighing myself weekly) to weight in the neighborhood of 215-225 lbs. I got fit enough to take bicycle trips to small towns 20-25 miles distant. In the scheme of things I added running to my journey and completed a number of sanctioned 10K's. 2017 started out as a banner year for my continued progress. And the, midway through the year, it turned downhill. My weight went up into the 220's then the 230's and then the 240's in the space of just four months. I still rode my bike and ran regularly, but all the progress I'd made with my weight loss just kept reversing itself. I found myself giving the whine of so many people in weight loss programs, "But I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for months [in my case,years], how come all of a sudden it's not working anymore???"

I had been through so much in those four years. I was enrolled in my local YMCA in 2014, and when I reported that I'd lost 45 lbs in the course of the year they did a blurb about me for their online newsletter, "Another Y Success Story". In the summer of 2015 I rode my bike to the small town of Clearwater, KS, some 17 miles from Wichita (a feat that my granddaughter Savannah was quite proud to tell her friends about). Just before Christmas of 2015 a car ran into my left leg in the Walmart parking lot; I had to take time off to heal but then got right back into the journey. Three months later a lowlife jerk ran over my left leg while getting away after robbing me of my change purse (with all of $6 in it). Again, some time to heal and then I was back in the swing of things. I rode my bikes hard and long, and rode them until they fell apart or were trashed. My response was to go buy another bike and get right back onto the road.

So what could have happened in mid 2017 that would make me lose all that progress and then eventaully put the whole journey on hiatus?

I am pretty sure this is at least part of it.

On June 2, 2017, near the end of a bike ride, my mother called me to tell me my father had died. This was the day before I had planned to run the 10K River Run, an official part of the Wichita River Festival, and (ironically) the day before what would have been Mom and Dad's 65th wedding anniversary. Dad had been in failing health, so the fact that he would die soon should not have been a surprise, but the news was still a shock to me. I told the desk clerk on duty at the hotel I manage; she was pretty good friends with my son Travis and called to tell him, and he suggested to his son Jordon that maybe Grandpa needed someone to be with tonight. So that evening Jordon joined me at the hotel and we were together that night and in the morning.

I have detailed the 2017 River Run on this blog and also on my Facebook page, and I will come clean about something here that I did not say on either site: I was wracked with guilt over the whole thing. I wrote about how Dad was very much a family man (which he was) and how I was honoring his memory by taking part in the River Run and River Festival with my grandson. The truth was, I was trying to cover up my feelings of, "My Dad is dead and my Mom just lost her husband of 65 years and I'm galavanting through downtown Wichita with my grandson playing Soccer Ball Billiards and chowing down on overpriced pizza and lemonade." I had been a notorious no-show at family get-togethers and holidays; part of that was I was so busy at the hotel that I didn't take time off for anything, but another part was Wichita is pretty near 1000 miles away from Knoxville by the preferred roads of travel and I was too broke (or too cheap) to afford the air fare or even the bus fare.

The next weekend I went to Knoxville to join my brother David and his two adult sons to visit Mom; it was the first time any of them had seen me in person since my sister Carol's wedding in 1993, and in fact David's sons were 2 and 4 years old then. A running gag was that every hour or so my phone would ring, I would look at the caller ID and roll my eyes and everyone else would laugh. The people at the hotel were blowing up my phne because it was the first time in over a decade I wasn't there to put out the fires and answer questions: "Steve, where do we keep the light bulbs for those new lamps James bought?" "Steve, this guy has a reservation for two nights but he only wants to stay one night. What do I do?" (The laughs were a lot quieter when I got a call from an irate guest at 1:30 in the morning.)

I discussed my feelings of guilt with my sister Carol later on. She confessed that, the weekend I got together with Mom she was scheduled to take her recent high school graduate daughter Rachel to Colorado to apply at the Air Force Academy (not the sort of thing you can bail on or reschedule) and she was wracked with guilt that she didn't join us to visit Mom in her time of mourning.

Anyway… In 2006 I responded to my 27-year-old daughter's death by throwing myself into my work. I was salaried then and so I worked ridiculous long hours, at least once working over 1/2 the total hours in the two-week work cycle. I was running on fumes and fighting off exhaustion. So in 2017, in response to my father's death, I made the (I see now) stupid decision to just go on with my life like nothing had happened… "life goes on" and all that.

I made the mistake of not dealing with my father's death. The problem was, I had no idea how the hell to deal with his death. What was I to do? Sit down and talk with a friend or counselor about my feelings, maybe regularly over time? Go to a rock quarry with a sledgehammer and smash a lot of rocks? I suspect (it didin't seem this way at the time but I am very good at deceiving myself) that I self-medicated with food a lot more than I realized. Remember that "whine" I mentioned at the end of the second paragraph of this post? Truth was I was slipping back into my old habits of eating at fast food places and hydrating with fizz.

My father's death was just the start: Two years later my mother died, almost two years to the day of Dad's passing. I got the call from Carol the morning of July 1 as I was preparing to run the 2019 River Run 10K.) Of course 2020 was the year that damn COVID-19 shut down the world. Then in October of 2021 my ex-wife Teresa (with whom I'd been on good terms since our divorce) died of COVID. And then in February of 2022 my son Travis joined his sister and mother in death. I'd like to say he died of liver failure, but the plain truth is he died of too much whiskey. (As his mom's next of kin he had to tell the hospital not to resuscitate Teresa, and even though that was what his mother had told him her wishes were, he was despondent with guilt over it and medicated with alcohol.)

I was still exercising with the bicycle, but in the time after Mom's passing my weight climbed into the 250's and then into the 260's to 270's where they stayed for a couple of years. Then in mid 2022 my weight went over 280, was consistently there until the start of September when I for some reasom lost interest in recording my weight anymore.

It's been a year and a half since then. My bicycle had two flat tires and a rusted out drive train. My finances (or maybe I should say my priorities) wouldm't allow me to get another bike until just recently. My weight is now in the mid 260's… maybe I did something right between the Fall of 2022 and now.

But I still have to ask: Was the death of my father, and the deaths of other family members, the real reason my health and fitness journey was sidetracked? And if it was, have I REALLY dealt with it? Or like a chiming electric clock that no one replaces the batteries to, has the issue just grown fainter and fainter with time 'til it's at the point I just don't notice it now?

To anyone who took the time to read all of this: I welcome any insights or advice into what might really be going on here and how I might effectively deal with it.

Horny on Main Loser Bracket Round 1: Sailom (Wedding Plan) vs Kongpob (SOTUS)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Sailom: no propaganda submitted

Kongpob: "It’s easy to forget because sotus was pretty low heat but he was insane. Constantly asking for “a reward”. And “I’ll make you my wife”"

[jellyfishdiet]

My Goals & Plans - Revised

Exercise daily - Do yoga and ballet on mon, wed, fri. Do pilates and run on sun, tues, thurs. Saturday is rest day - deep stretches and long walk. Ride bike or walk to and from errands instead of riding bus.

Stick to a pescatarian diet inspired by model and ballerina wieiad videos. This means fasting 6 pm to 8 am daily, eating 1,000 - 1,400 calories per day, and sticking with healthy whole foods. Half fruit/veg, high protein, low carb.

Stick to plan for three months-ish (11/15 - 03/03). Revise plan in March as needed. Should lose approximately 30-40 lbs in this time.

processing some weight gain stuff under the cut

okay. in 18 weeks of pregnancy I have gained 15 pounds, which according to the guidelines I was given is a LOT more than I’m supposed to have gained at this stage. based on my starting weight I am only supposed to gain 15-25 lbs total across the entire pregnancy, which idk people seem to be mixed on whether that’s actually realistic but that is what the doctor says. in the last two weeks I went up 4 lbs, and that was with a terrible cold that totally killed my appetite and made it very easy to not indulge in holiday food (I couldn’t taste anything). I am exercising a little less (30-45 min daily walks instead of 45-75) but not like, SO much less yknow? and I have also been tracking my caloric intake on an app to make sure I’m not going over (although I think my real motivation there is if a doctor gives me a hard time about weight gain I’m going to be like yeah well here’s 15+ weeks of data on my eating habits so you tell ME what’s going on).

the point is that based on a calories in calories out model I shouldn’t be gaining this much weight this fast but I am. that’s just what seems to be happening! so I think I just have to LET GO and accept that my body is going to do whatever it thinks is best to support the pregnancy. I can still make good choices but I need to decouple the choices from the outcomes. or like, I need to accept that my good choices will produce good outcomes (I’ll be eating nourishing food and moving my body regularly!) but those outcomes will probably not include weight loss or a slowing of weight gain. here is what I will continue doing:

meal plan every week—I might want to start thinking about meal planning snacks too esp as I am feeling hungrier during the day

eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day

eat very limited amounts of processed foods and watch out for added sugars

walk briskly for 30-45 min a day

go to this hourlong weights class at least 2x a week (ideally 3x) and tack on 20-25 min of cardio on the bike after

I could also try going to the gym more often to do low-impact cardio—like trying to work in a couple days a week where I do 45 min on the elliptical while watching an episode of TV. I do find that in the past doing a lot of that mindless low effort activity seems to help with weight maintenance and is pretty easy to sustain because I’m just like, as long as I’m moving it counts! I don’t have to be pushing myself super hard! this is probably most doable for me on the weekends (and if I’m at the gym already it increases the chances that I might decide to run too).

ok so here’s a rough plan:

sat & sun: walk dogs (30-45 min x 2) + try to do 30 min x 2 of extra cardio while watching TV at the gym (or when liz is feeling better I can see if she wants to go together or do pregnancy workout videos)

mon & tues: weights class one of those days depending on work schedule + 20 min extra cardio one day + 30-45 min walk both days

wed: 30-45 min walk

thurs: this is my busy/long day with work stuff and rehearsal, but I can usually squeeze in a 20 min dog walk and could try parking far away and walking into work on days when it isn’t raining to get another 20+ min in

fri: weights class + 30-45 min walk

and I gotta remember I can make the walks less boring by 1) driving to a random neighborhood and walking from there and 2) talking to friends on the phone instead of just listening to stuff.

OKAY. the takeaway is: I DO NOT NEED TO FEEL GUILT OR SHAME ABOUT THE FACT THAT I AM PUTTING ON A LOT OF WEIGHT. I AM FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS PREGNANT! THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT MY BODY IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING! I ALSO REFUSE TO LET DOCTORS OR THE INTERNET MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY ABOUT MY WEIGHT, BECAUSE I KNOW I AM MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES THAT ARE GOOD FOR MY BODY, MY BABY, AND MY MENTAL HEALTH. I ALSO WANT TO GENTLY DECOUPLE GOOD/HEALTHY CHOICES FROM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES. EATING WELL AND STAYING ACTIVE THROUGH MY PREGNANCY MAY NOT KEEP ME FROM GAINING “EXCESS” WEIGHT. BUT IT WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER IN MY BODY/SELF. IT WILL ENSURE THAT MY BABY IS GETTING LOTS OF GOOD NUTRIENTS. IT WILL HELP ME SLEEP BETTER AND FOCUS MORE AT WORK. IT WILL HOPEFULLY MAKE LABOR AND RECOVERY A LITTLE BIT EASIER TOO! I AM DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS AND IT IS OKAY THAT MY BODY IS NOT CONFORMING TO THE PRESCRIBED NORM. I TRUST MY BODY AND ASSUME IT HAS ITS REASONS!!!!!!!!!!!

She is inquisitive, fiercely loyal, very friendly, and at times very silly. She understands more than people think however, and is more intelligent than people give her credit for. She tends to remind people of a traditional disney princess, since she has a strange affinity for animals, specifically birds.

Her first wedding ever planned was one organized in her living room between her stuffed animals, Ms. Bunny and Ms. Crocodile. Her parents were so amazed they proudly posted her photos online, where she got a lot of attention for her beautiful set up. She would later set up a wedding for her pets, her neighbors (who would play wedding with her) and eventually set up a real one for her aunt. At 11 she was able to set up an amazing tropical island wedding during a volcanic eruption. This is why she is the Ultimate Wedding Planner.

I know this is a lot of information. If you guys wanna learn more about Aki, please just ask! I hope this has shown you guys what I can do, and that you love Aki Fujimoto as much as I do!

Uhhh

Hi I don’t really use this blog for anything but reblogging stuff I like but I do have two other blogs @grapeyvscanvas and @mood-ring-fanfiction and those are the ones I treasure..

ANYWAY so uh update on my life, I finally moved out from living with my father like I’ve wanted since 2019, and while I am happy, I’ve basically just transferred into another undesirable situation. I’ve gained more weight (I used to be 180 lbs in 2022, now I’ve become 255 lbs), my fiance and I (oh yeah did I mention I’m engaged now?) were about to move into an apartment but ended up having a financial surprise because my fiancé’s car broke, so I had to move in with his parents, we were also going to get married that same month but when I came here I found out that his grandmother and aunts freaked out that we weren’t gonna have a wedding, and so we decided to had to plan for one to avoid family drama, and I also found out my fiance also wanted a wedding but I didnt listen to him because I was being selfish. I have more food options I can eat but it’s also still limited because his mother gatekeeps it all “for recipes”, I started having anxiety episodes almost every night due to my weight gain and it’s stressed me out a bunch, I had a job but then had to quit due to numerous undesirable working conditions and violations that I couldn’t handle contributing to, and now it’s super hard to find a job all of a sudden. My fiancé is now super stressed too because he just quit and got a new job but it pays way way less ($2 an hour but apparent tips are supposed to make up for it??? He barely gets any tips!!!). We have deadlines for multiple payments like car, attending my best friend’s wedding next month, a family reunion in August, our own wedding in September, and getting our own place to live in, and together right now we only have like $1 to our name.

It’s okay though, I’m not worried because now I have more options and opportunities, and I’m with my fiancé so I know we both can get through it. I just need to keep supporting him, calling him a good boy, and I just need to keep searching for jobs all day every day, and keep intermittent fasting. I’ve already lost 2 lbs after 9 days of fasting. Imagine how much more I could lose if I add in exercise…

Also I started using 4chan and it’s fun, I’m gonna post all the art I made in the past few months on my art blog @grapeyvscanvas okay byeeeeeeeeee
