#who's a wreck lmfao how y'all doing

[justagalwhowrites]

just to offer a different opinion to the other anon who thought doc was gaslighting joel about the whole tommy situation…. we have to remember that they weren’t just regular broken up exes like they were when joel broke up w her pre-outbreak. he straight up hated her (or at least acted like he did) and told her multiple times that he wished he never met her and never wanted to see her again. in my mind, that behavior dissolves any and all claim you have over someone, even to those who would normally be off-limits (i.e. family members). doc was absolutely in the right in that conversation imo. honestly, joel should be on his knees thanking doc for even looking in his general direction atp after the way he treated her all those years.

i get it that dating the family members of exes is weird (and if doc and tommy got together in an AU where the outbreak didn’t happen and sarah didn’t die, i would be more on joel’s side) but in this universe, with the way joel treated her, honestly he has zero right to be mad at her for anything (though i get why he was, bc the real emotion behind his outburst was probably just jealousy and anger at himself for not getting his shit together sooner). that’s my take on it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Bestie!

Another view on the Doc/Joel convo about Tommy!

This is a little more in line with how I approached the Doc/Tommy relationship from a writing perspective (which doesn't necessarily mean it's the right interpretation! However it came off to you is right for you!)

Another part of this, Doc is so fucking wrecked by EVERYTHING with the outbreak and Joel and really only has Andrew to rely on for support and Andrew had Jess. Doc didn't want to pull him away from the life he was making for himself by bogging him down in her shit. She was lonely and just a very broken person - she couldn't even come around to the idea of trying to date someone after Joel she was so devastated by him and she internalized all of it because she had no outlet. Tommy knew all of these really devastating things so she wouldn't need to explain it, was kind to her, wanted her and was so willing to go along with whatever she needed that he felt supremely safe.

Even if Joel was THAT cruel to her in a breakup in a no-outbreak scenario, she wouldn't have dated Tommy because she wouldn't have been so fragile. She would have had support (Cass, Louisa), she wouldn't have survived everything she had to get to that point so she wouldn't have the same trauma. Tommy would have been totally off the table, even if he put the moves on her. It'd have taken her a while but she'd have found a Derek or a Brad on her own within a few months and kinda-sorta moved on. At least to the extent of having a somewhat fulfilling relationship with him if not being head over heels in love with him. The Tommy/Doc situation was one that came about only because everyone was so fucked up from trauma and Joel's reaction to it was to lash out to force distance between him and the person he loved most and Doc's was to self destruct.

All that being said, I don't blame Joel for being pissed about it. Especially since he directs his anger at Tommy and not Doc. I think he understands how much he hurt Doc (not that he wants to think about that, he'd much rather dodge that thought as much as possible) but he's like "WTF Tommy I didn't do anything to you fuck you."

ANYWAY! That's part of my thesis on the Joel/Doc/Tommy situation lmfao I could talk about this all day because there were LAYERS to me planning out that relationship lol LAYERS Y'ALL

mid-year book podcast freak out 2023

Got tagged by @allcountersarehipheight, which thank you so much for tagging me, I love to be tagged in things lol, but uh

I kinda realized that I haven't read enough books to actually do this lmfao. I did start reading Ancillary Justice this past week, and I read the book How to Keep House While Drowning (definitely recommend), and I've read a decent amount of fanfic.

But (as you know) I've had some Big Life Changes this year. Who knew, looking for apartments, packing, moving across the country, and starting a new job seriously eats up time and makes reading books difficult lol.

So anyway. The only media I've actually really consumed this year are podcasts, cause the move if anything only increased the time available for listening to podcasts. And this looked fun. So I'm gonna just. freak out about podcasts for a minute

Best book podcast you’ve read heard so far this year

The White Vault. Hooooly shit y'all. This show. I'm feeling so insane about it rn, and I am really looking forward to their next season whenever it releases and listening to their patreon-only miniseries in this world. I am just in awe of their entire production, the writing, the creeping dread and terror (my roommate laughed at me for my reactions), the fucking sound design!!!! lemme say, having Done sound design work myself, shit is hard and they really made this show next level real. And god it is impossible not to fall in love with the characters and sucked into the plot. If you hear it, it hears you too....

Best sequel you’ve read heard so far this year

The PALISADE season of Friends at the Table!! Another installment in their Divine Cycle stories and it continues to be my favorite podcast on the planet. It makes me feel so much I have trouble putting any of it into words. I can only scream incoherently and reblog the gorgeous wonderful fanart for this show. Everyone needs to listen to fatt right now immediately. This is not news to anyone who follows me lmfao

New release you haven’t read heard yet

The new season of Life with LEO(h)! I loved the first season, and I am really excited to listen to the second one that's releasing now. I haven't quite gotten around to it though, it's one of the shows where having both earbuds in helps me keep track of everything, and since I'm usually listening to stuff at work where I can't have both earbuds in, it's just been. Sitting in my playlist, waiting to be played.

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year

Within the Wires season 8, definitely. I've been listening to the show since the first episode released in 2016 and it has remained one of my all time favorite podcasts for that entire time. I have no idea what the next season's focus will be, it's always something different, and it always always wrecks me, and it is always rearranges my brain. October can't come soon enough.

Biggest disappointment

The Two Princes. I had listened to the first season whenever that came out, but didn't follow it when it went exclusive on spotify, cause fuck spotify, but this year they quietly gave up on making it spotify exclusive. And maybe the fact I had enjoyed but felt pretty meh about season one should've been a hint for my reaction, but hey, they autodownloaded, so I decided to listen to seasons 2 and 3. And y'know. It was fine. It just wasn't particularly good. Idk, maybe I'm not the target audience for that show.

Biggest surprise

Lost Hills: The Dark Prince. It's a surprise cause it's not something I would've sought or picked out to listen to on my own. But you know the thing some shows do, where they go "hey, we're promoting another podcast, so we're dropping their first episode in our feed, enjoy" and you just go along with it instead of skipping, and afterwards you go "hm well I haven't cared about malibu or surfing At All my whole life, but now i just Gotta know the fucked up history of this One Dickhead who had a huge influence on the surfing culture that extends into the present day." Well. Here we are.

Favorite new author (debut or new to you)

Fool & Scholar Productions! Not debut, but new to me. They're the team responsible for The White Vault (among other shows I am looking forward to listening to). Seriously, their writing and their audio production are so so so excellent and I really admire their dedication to Getting things Right, particularly in regards to how they write international characters and go to great lengths to cast people from those cultures and who speak those languages to act. And although I haven't had a chance to listen to their TWV patreon-miniseries Imperial, the whole thing about using an endangered language in it and working with speakers and scholars of that language to get things right is just. Wow. It's incredible and I am (again) so excited to listen to it and their other shows, this team really just makes the language nerd and audio nerd in me vibrate

Newest fictional crush/newest favorite character

This was so difficult but I gotta say, Vivian Exler from the Upstairs and Downstairs game of fatt Road to Palisade. Gardner/groundskeeper who gets the revolutionary zines and is constantly bickering with the mechanic. I am predictable and quickly become a fan of any Jack de Quidt character and Vivian was no exception.

Book Podcast that made you cry

Yet another win for The White Vault here. It made me cry multiple times, for sad reasons, and I mean this another glowing recommendation for this show. Love to be made to feel emotions

Book Podcast that made you happy

Ologies with Alie Ward!! Literally this podcast is just a constant source of joy and makes me so happy to be on this planet. Every single ologist Alie interviews is so genuinely excited about their subject and it is endlessly fascinating to learn more about the world around us. There's episodes that definitely can be bummers, but even the bummer episodes ultimately instill in me optimism and hope and appreciation. And also I get to leave every episode with a handful of fun facts I can bring out at parties when I'm anxious.

Alright, there we are! I'm gonna tag @housetalis (eternal thanks for introducing me to TWV) and @grand-magnificent. Feel free to do the original book freakout or do a podcast freakout or to not do it at all — no pressure either way!

[kkyaka]

Omg how was it bro lmaoo

Bro anon LMFAOO, I got you (kinda tmi under the cut, so warning for kinda sexual explicit content LOL), this got really long I'm so sorry 😭

(takes a deep breath) okay, SO lol first things first

I had actually seen this guy at a Halloween party I went to last semester, but right as I was gonna tell him that I thought he was cute, he left. And then I saw him on hinge and we matched! He goes to the same school I do, and he doesn't live too far away.

So, I matched with him and started talking to him, and he wanted to come over at like 10pm on Monday (today is Thursday as I write this) and I had come from a volleyball scrimmage and I was NOT in the mood to hook up

So I told him that, and he said that wasn't his intentions (which was a SHOCKER) so I let him come over 💀 LMFAO and we just cuddled and watched anime. And he didn't stay long cause I was tired asf, but like towards the end, he said that he had lied about not wanting to do anything, but I think that was because I wore really short shorts lmfaooo

We held hands for a while and then he had to leave, so I walked him to his car (he held my hand the whole time) and then he drove me back to my apartment. And then he told me that he really wanted to kiss me, but he never made a move lol, so I did. I made the first move! I kissed him first! Who would've thought? But yeah, he like never made a move on me or anything and that made me feel better

So then he said he was free the NEXT day (Tuesday) and I said he could come over lol cause I was gonna be gone for a whole week and I wanted some fun lmao. So, we just cuddled on the couch watching TV again (I'm not gonna tell you what we were watching bc you'll judge me LMFAO)

Anyway, fast forward like an episode later, and we're making out on the couch and then like five minutes later, he's eating me out LMFAOOOO, and his head game was pretty good honestly

So then, we move to my bed but then he goes an gets a condom, and not once did I ever think to like stop him, which isn't bad! I've messed around with a lot of guys, but I've always stopped it before it gets to this point, but with this guy I was kinda nervous but not enough to where I wanted to stop it

Bro he ate me out so much, I was like I mean sure, if you want to lmfao. I didn't cum, but he made me feel really good, so I'm not really upset about that honestly, and I'm pretty sure I'll see him again when I get back.

So, I was kinda worried because he wasn't very long, but he was lowkey really thick, so I was like 😬 sir you might rip me in half no lie. And the whole thing was like kinda awkward, but we laughed about it. But we did it in missionary, cowgirl, and doggy and in missionary, he had my legs shaking lmfao

And in cowgirl, my legs didn't get tired as soon as I thought they would, and doggy??? Whew chile, y'all.

I was SO LOUD. SO FUCKING LOUD. Like, I was almost crying. I could've cum from that, cause he was hitting good but not like the best spots. But honestly, I think doggy worked best because my whole like vagina (???) is tilted forward lol

So, after the first position, I thought we were done, so I slipped on my sweatshirt lol, but HE WAS NOT, and after I got on top, I thought we were done lol but he had flipped me over and eat me out for a bit AGAIN??? And he had already taken the condom off and tried to put it in RAW??? HELLO??? and I stopped him like instantly, I was like no sir you can't do that bc I haven't been on birth control in a couple of months lol

So after I told him that, he said that he was gonna look for another condom because, and I quote "I wanna fuck you again"

HELP??? HELLO???

In my head, my jaw was on the fucking floor, but I guess the 😺 is pretty good LMFAOOO🤭

And so after THAT, he asked me if I wanted to go AGAIN, I was like wtf this man's stamina. I know he's gonna wreck my shit when we have more time together lol

And surprisingly, I feel very normal (?) about everything that happened. Like then next time we hang out, I'm gonna ask him what he wants out of this whether that's a relationship or just fuck buddies, idrc, but we were both kinda tired, but he cuddled with me like for an hour

And he had to be up at 5am and I had to be up at 7am, but I told him he could stay over if he wanted to, I would set an alarm for him, but he said that he felt it would be better to just go home, which I was fine with.

Anyways, that's the rundown, but yeah, I honestly wasn't expecting to punch the v-card any time soon, so this is a massive surprise lol. It's not a big deal to me, and virginity is a social construct, but for a while I just wanted to get it over with, and this time I wasn't nervous or anything and I didn't really have any negative thoughts

We'll see if I see him next week, I REALLY want to because I haven't been able to stop thinking about him lol, so I'm hoping he comes back over. Also, anon, this is probably WAY more than you asked for, and I'm sorry lmfao

also since we r getting into the nitty gritty detail of the romance aspect, i was wondering if y'all would want to see some prose/writing... rather than just a smau, b/c it's really hard to illustrate romance without all the creepy-ass paparazzi shots 😭😭

Bungo Stray Dogs - Kafka Asagiri/Sango Harukawa Vol. 18-19: Basically just praise for Harukawa-sensei in commentary format. (*anime spoilers and manga spoilers up to ch.114.5)

-BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS SIGMA ON THE COVER I LUFF HIM

-dazai, sigma, fyodor, why so pretty, guys?

-wait no, dazai can't have it right. sigma can't have learned of the Page from taneda since sigma WAS created with the page.

-fyodor looks so dreamy tho. if villain, why so pretty, man?

-fellas, is it gay to instantly create a code only you and your situationship can converse in, asking for dazai and fyod- errrr, asking for a friend. i kid, i kid, i don't ship them.

-CUT SIGMA SOME SLACK, TERUKO, HE'S ONLY THREE YEARS OLD :"(

-fyodor. my man. calm down with the pretty, you're distracting me

-always happy to see dazai unprepared for what he learns

-A PERSON WAS CREATED FROM NOTHING! BOOK-SAN'S CONSISTENCY MY ASS

-wait, "a piece of writing in the book" created sigma? so fukuchi or someone has access to the actual book, regardless of this one page? you speak in riddles, asagiri-sensei

-"can he even be called human?" dazai said, and immediately felt a connection to poor sigma

-SIGMA BABE, COME TO THE AGENCY (once we reinstate it)! WE WON'T HURT YOU! YOU CAN TRUST US! YES, THAT MEANIE DAZAI TOO, YOU CAN TRUST HIM!

-PROTECT SIGMA!

-i do like lucy

-gosh, it's all drawn so beautifully

-ooh nathaniel is still inside anne's room? oh cool, we'll see mitchell soon then. "soon." in the next... few... years...

-ango needs a long long vacation

-princess fyodor is so goddamn pretty. "i just sat here and prayed and those prayers were answered" - if this is a hint on how he communicates with the outside

-ah man. no one draws them like harukawa-sensei

-the way teruko slaps her knee when she laughs omg, what a cute detail. DAZAI DOES IT TOO, SO CUTE

-gosh i love tachihara. i say that about everyone, but have you met this cast

-every single character design is a gem, i can't

-SIGMA LIKES COOKIES, MY HEART

-THE CONTINUOUS DOUBLE PANEL OF JOUNO HALF-LIGHTER AND HALF-DARKER

-lmfao imaginary dazai is wearing his usual clothes in atsushi's vision and i was like "OMG YES HE DOESN'T LIVE IN THE WHITE FIT, I FORGORRR"

-the panel where gogol tells sigma they're going to kill dostoy and he holds his hat over sigma's head, chef's kiss, perfection, a masterpiece

-MUSHITAROU IS WITH POE OMG. POE IS AN HONORARY AGENCY MEMBER AT THIS POINT

-"why do people write? because inside that story you can see those you want to any time."

-ahaha the irony of ango disliking betrayal

-RANPO-SAN, YOUR CUTE LIL FACE, i missed you

-i love so much this line of thinking, that ranpo's saying 'no, i'm not asking you to believe we're pure and righteous, i'm asking you - wouldn't it be stupid if a master detective got caught like that?"

-ah man, yes, i've missed ranpo's lil face

-SOME OF THE AGENCY REUNITING, MY HEART <333. ATSUSHI LEAPING TO HUG KUNIKIDA, MY HEART! I MISS THEM! I MISS THEM ALL TOGETHER, I MISS THEM

-ranpo, i'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you only need "kenji and tanizaki" to be an agency again because technically dazai is with you since you're in contact with him. i will overlook the fact that he's not in any of all y'all's thoughts and i will not insult you by calling you a child of your own preposterous father figure and the lack of dazai in his thoughts. i will do that for you. this once. (i mean, technically they don't mention fukuzawa either, nor is he present in anne's room)

-the fukuchi panels hit differently with 20/20 hindsight.

-"fukuzawa's golden child" yes, fukuchi, that's our ranpo-san

-watching ranpo deduct who kamui is in real time with 20/20 hindsight is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

-THE PANEL COMPOSITION, THE COLORING, I LOVE IT. YOU HEAR THE PANELS EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS SPEAKING, i can't describe it otherwise, you just HEAR the panels.

-i was about to scream at atsushi so hard for not including dazai in his agency image, but it's fine it's fine, dazai gets his own panel as he deserves. good boy atsushi. i always knew i loved you for a reason. wait. is that a good thing or a bad thing foreshadowing-wise? ...no no, i'll go with "good boy, atsushi, you know dazai deserves a panel of his own 'cause he's that special in general, and that special specifically for you."

-WILL atsushi's head grow back if you cut it off? uh... i don't want to find out, it's... let's not.

-atsushi: "i'm scared that i am alone." aku-kun: "you called?"

-AKU-KUN, MY LOVE! look at him, no one draws 'em like harukawa-sensei.

-LMFAO, "why do i look so flashy!?" SIGMA ARE YOU SERIOUS

-YOUR TWO-TONE HAIR IS NOT WEIRD, YOU'RE PERFECT

-SIGMA THE BAND FRONTMAN

-A FYODOR-NIKOLAI-SIGMA BAND

[misteria247]

Today at work I choked on my hot chocolate. I've been coughing on and off ever since.

[sugars-fluffy-escapes]

ok ok, BUT but BUT BUT BUT Eddie getting a lee mood as u describe ur dnd character wrecking Eddie’s npc for interrogation 😳

🫢😈 ANON I'M ON DEMON TIME NOW ISTG SGAHDHSJDJDJ- And I wanna say thank you to two tumblr moots for helping me make these hcs happen while I'm still familiarizing myself with D&D 🥹 Hcs under the cut!

Eddie's such a smug little shit at first. Big bad DM thinking he's successfully gotten under your skin with an irritating npc who's refusing to answer any of your questions. But then...

"It appears that the only living soul who carries the information you seek is not willing to reveal said information to you. (Character's name here), what would you like to do?"

"I'm going to ask him if he's ticklish."

Eddie's going to short circuit and you can see his body language grow more tense. He will try anything to keep this from happening because of all places for you to throw him into a lee mood, it's during the club meeting??? (Not that he minds though 🥴) No matter what tactics he tries to use, you've always got a tactic of your own to continue throwing him off.

Is he making the NPC lie? Insight check time. You'll see the blush creeping up on his face when you roll. Eddie has different answers depending on what the outcome of the roll was, but even then, you're just as stubborn as he is and you're gonna tickle the npc anyway even if the roll was unsuccessful. You tell him as much.

^ What he looks like when you two are in a verbal joust over this friggin interrogation tactic of yours. He's very stubborn, but so are you. You are going to roll for every advantage you possibly can and the entire time you're arguing with this friggin DM, he's growing more squirrelly and squirmy. The rest of the club is so done with both of you LMFAO 😭 /lh

You came to this meeting prepared, lemme tell you AHJSJSJRJR. Whether your character can perform and has prepared the "enhance ability spell" or if any of your fellow club members can, ohhh boi. Edward Munson isn't ready. If you use "hex," wiggle your fingers in his direction and watch him squirm 🫢

Tickle checks somehow end up becoming a thing after Eddie spends some time racking his brain over how "tickle checks" would even frickin happen. He's gonna make it difficult and will act like a smartass about what you'll need to roll for.

^ This smugness fizzles away real fast 🥴

Alas, your stubbornness wins and Eddie's efforts are futile and the npc gets tickled. He doesn't want to put actual effort into the voice acting because he's flustered to hell and he'll be damned if he lets you win. The rest of the club ain't letting that slide though.

"Eddie! You have no problem getting theatrical with the fucking voices any other time! Commit to the character, dammit!"

"Yeah, Eddie. Do I actually have to tickle you just to really sell it~?"

"N-Not one fucking step closer, you absolute fucking heathen!"

^ I am convinced Edward Munson uses words like "scoundrel" and "heathen" because he is a nerd <3

If you do end up tickling him while y'all are playing, it's likely going to be after you've rolled a crit hit, and you exclaim as much before pouncing on him and next thing you know the damn DM's on the floor flailing like a fish and screech-cackling. He knows better than to ask the other club members to save him. You think they'd skip on an opportunity to knock the DM off of his high horse? Give one of your fellow club members the "help" action and wreck this adorable little shit with tickles 👏🏾

If you don't end up tickling him and making him sink from his chair onto the floor during the actual game, he's absolutely gonna be in a lee mood still and will find a not-so-subtle way to provoke you into finally tickling him after the club's done playing for the night. Probably via telling you that your character's getting shown no mercy the next time y'all continue the campaign. Or, he's so annoyed and salty that you didn't actually tickle him so when the club meeting is done, he insists you actually do so because:

"You had the fucking nerve to say all that tickle shit in the middle of the campaign and now you're not gonna do it!?"

^ Bby just wants tickles now 🥺 👉🏾👈🏾 Indulge the poor lad LMFAOOO /lh

[topconfessions]

I think its time to stop with the all "if you work hard u will gain anything u lile" cause life most of times its not fair and it doesnt work like this,,for example there was a group that just last 5 FREAKING DAYS!!!! so yep,no matter how hard u try to do certain things it probably wouldnt work out anyway..

This ideal in life globally is a man made corporate elite ideal that was prevalent in the 30s-70s primarily 40s and 50s where the economy in America did flow and revolve around Americans actually gaining the most from simple hard work and living on the straight and narrow. Our society was constructed around that. Women didn't have to work, weren't expected to work or forced to work or grilled / judged in their private lives for not working (unless deemed a gold digger) cause the men were the owns who had to rough it out here being the sole earners while women had to bare the more emotional and abstract difficulties of life at home. No shit y'all can hate me all you want but I honestly wish I was in that era. I don't like the equal playing field we live in today. There are incredible positives and 10x worse downsides to feminism paired with women now being expected to "work as hard" as men do. I'm a woman. I don't want to slave my beauty and youth away as well as my mental health for emotional abuse. Physical abuse, berating, disrespect, my character and intelligence being challenged as well as my my worth being tied into employment in 9-5 / office settings when if there is a man out there who is fit, willing, able and loves me enough to do it....he can go earn. I say this as someone who grew up with someone who was born in the 1940s and tried to raise me very Masculine without realizing it cause in her era that was the only way to make an income. Society didn't teach you or actively allow the keys to extra income, employment, a side hustle or being your own boss happen.

I'd say globally in 2021 and beyond we no longer are built on this ideal. It is obsolete and our economy, structure, sociology and how we function in day to day life does not mesh nor can function on that. Money can be made in all sorts of ways and everyone who makes what you were suppose to slave away for at college, internship and a big job for can make it in 4 months if not 3 if they are monopolizing entertainment (tarot readers making cash, youtubers, becoming a celeb etc) influencers, sex (IG model, sugar baby. Escort, modeling etc) Tik Tok, selling your stuff, becoming a pro seller, getting viral, Delivery food driver, etc. But these require you to not have a need for privacy and humility minus delivery driver and seller.

The sacrifices and gains have changed.

Working hard is for the poor. You work smart. Work cunning, netWORK with the right people, befriend, use, connect and inquire with the right people to get to the next stop, appeal to the right people for what you are aiming for and have enough balls to step outside of the box when everyone rlse is 9-5 and dedicate yourself to whatever it is you are doing.

That old hard work is for people who all live the same life but with different job titles. Everyone complains minimum wage is hell today and 9-5 is a wreck. It is but back during the big boom everybody was flourishing and life was easy.

LMFAO SORRY I GAVE A WHOLE HISTORY LESSON. Point blank you gotta take advantage of things to be successful and work SMART. Hard work is for being dedicated and applying yourself. Kim K got to where she is with by many factors and I will say she is a hard worker but not the traditional ideal of hard work aka manual labor / having to answer to someone. Kim could have easily half assed all her duties and appointments when she was climbing the social ladder. Kardashian's get on my nerves now but I always heard over the years Kim had a great work ethic and is Great to work with.

But yes I agree in general anon.

I mentioned this all cause it occurred to me that the world isn't what it used to be 10-+5 years ago. For instance men have flipped the script on raging feminists who forced us to be equals. Now men want to treat dates like joh interviews unless you're amazingly hot to them or they are desperate to fuck for whatever reason. Now you must have a job, have a job that isn't something shameful or low rate, have something going for you beyond just normal things and if you don't got any of these and you're not hot you get a bunch of bs and potentially get called a free loader who brings nothing to the table. And no this isnt my experience but I have notice men at least in dating apps or dating in areas that is outside of work, church, or a mutual way to meet that gets you close fast, they don't have empathy or a blind eye to women being normal. They do but at the same time they don't??? Like for instance, as someone who gets thousands of matches / swipes on tinder, I've learned you can't be on there if you don't have your life together and can prove you are hardworking at something. I.E if you suddenly lose your job for whatever reason....unless you can skillfully talk around it or make it work for you by being soft about it...men won't give two shits and they approach you like you arent tired from working 42 hours a week etc and can still fuck then clock in on time the next day.

All of this ties into hard work cause you just really need to stay diligent , financially woke and keep going enough to support yourself to survive everyday. Basic needs. Everything else isn't needed. That's all the secrets of hard work.

John Cena was the hardest worker of his time in WWE but he turns me off now cause his character is a highkey secret heel who shoots on people In promos like nobody else works hard or is righteously doing hard work properly cause they aren't work horses like him and tie upstanding image to their work ethic LOL.

Anyways. Hard work is complicated now. I spend too much and don't save but I am a Hard worker and go through what others won't to complete my job but because I may not perform my job in the same way a job favorite does or I may not have a job that is tangible enough for someone to understand why it's hard work, I could get my effort and labor invalidated just because. America has that issue and I don't like it. You rarely hear Koreans have these issue cause everyone across the board has this ingrained in them. Its just a matter of who upholds what value best and who is going beyond what is asked of them.

Eh. Its why I say now college is becoming obsolete in terms of income grind. It is no longer the primary way to gain money. It won't make or break you at all either unless you let it.

I'M DONE LOL.

Hi, princess!👑💕 I hope you had a good day and you're fine! I always try to find the perfect partner for Jack. So I always think about which of our supernatural-boys would be the perfect lover for the cute Jack. Maybe Gabriel? I dont know. I never really get a result for myself. Do you have any other suggestions and ideas for me? Many warm hugs and I love you!💖💞

Hey there, beautiful! 💋 My day is SO much better now that I've heard from you! I hope you are having a great week and that you're doing well, my darling. 💕💕

As for your question, I have SO many suggestions for you. I ship that adorable angel with pretty much everyone.

I'd have to say that Dean is my preferred choice though. He's (my favorite) Daddy af and baby boy needs that dominant, I'm gonna make you cry for all the right reasons energy in his life. 👌 I'm here for bratty Jack getting his guts rearrange by Dean who has his hand over the kid's mouth to stop him from talking back, voice low and gritty when he whispers in Jack's ear, "Shut up and take it, slut." 🔥

That being said, I also LOVE him with Sam. 💕 They are so soft together and I just want Sammy to give Jack all the eskimo kisses and tight hugs baby boy deserves. Oh, and to eat Jack out until he's a sweaty, babbling mess and the only words that he can remember are "Sam" and "please". 👌

Ah! I can totally dig him with Gabriel too! I feel like he'd make Jack laugh and give him soft neck kisses that would have baby boy weak in the knees. (Also, I can totally see Gabe exploring his food kink with Jack. Like blind folding his adorable little nephilim and having him taste all sorts of sugary foods like chocolate covered strawberries, whipped cream, caramel sauce and anything else he could think of that left Jack all sticky and made that curious pink tongue of his work so hard to taste the sweetness on Gabe's fingers.)

God, and don't even get me started on the deliciously filthy potential of Jack and Benny. Just the size difference alone. END ME. Ugh! Baby boy's thighs would stay sore from the beard burn and he'd love every minute of it. Yep, definitely want that bear to destroy everyone's favorite blue eyed blonde twink. Please and thank you. 🙏

And of course, as you saw from my post the other night, I'm DOWN with Jack and John Winchester. 👌

Also totally game for:

Jack/Adam (Need some twink on twink action every now and then. 🤙)

Jack/Young John (Because the mental image of Alex licking Matt's flawless fucking abs is A++)

Jack/Lucifer (Y'all know why, judge me not!)

Jack/Balthazar (Because I'm trash!)

Jack/Gordon (Okay, but like b r o. Gordon leaves baby boy all bruised and fucked up and begging for more just so he can send him back to Sam. Jack gets wrecked AND he gets angry, protective, I'll kill him for putting his hands on you Sammy? *chef's kiss*)

Honestly, as long as Jack is getting fucked within an inch of his life then

(P.S. I know you said boys but I'm hella into the idea of Jack/Meg 2.0 and how dirtybadwrong Jack would feel when her eyes flashed black as she fucked him hard. (With the biggest strap he could take.) 🥵

ANYWHO. Sorry for this word vomit, my lovely. I guess in conclusion my answer is, anyone with a pulse. Lmfao

Sending good vibes and lots of warm hugs your way! I love you too! 💕💕

[scrawlingskribbles]

*wakes up from a dead sleep at 2AM because guess who had another Dream*

not from the AltCanon!verse this time tho because it was Darradmond instead this time and also it was framed really different & also transitioned pretty swiftly into basically a nightmare that’s got me kinda teary rn but I wanna immortalize these moments bc they were HECKA CUTE & I’M ALREADY FORGETTING PIECES AAAAA

okay so like I said this one was different from the Prophetic ones because it’s like… I wasn’t watching pieces of the show this time, the characters were just kinda running around in my same plane of existence like that’s Totally Normal.

so the first one was me going around like a Wal-Mart kinda store looking for (*snorts*) my friend’s wedding reception???????? w h a t why was she having it in Wal-mArt(?)??????? but anyways that’s what I was looking for, and as I’m going up & down the aisles searching I just casually see Rad & Raymond holding hands in one of the food aisles & talking about something about the foods that had them both looking kinda confused lmfao but that wasn’t what I was looking for so I like slowly circle-meandered around the store and then I found them again later in another part (it had like…. vehicle tires & parts on the right and like pet toys & accessories on the left?????) & they were looking at the pet toys & then Darrel ran up like an excited puppy ((unrelated to the pet supplies)) and they both just kinda smiled & laughed at whatever he’d said & Rad waved for him to crouch down with him to help pick one of the pet toys but then everythingg got hecking interrupted by the GOTDANG WEDDING PROCESAION APPARENTLY DECIDING TO PARADE THROUGH THIS AISLE so they all just kinda stared at that whole train[wreck] with the kind of amused befuddlement that I’m now feeling for it and just looked at each other & shook their heads & walked away a la Joff & Nick Army in the bg of Plaza Prom

so then I went off & did wedding stuff for a bit BUT THEN the second one happened later where they were sitting in like. a school lunch room or a mall food court or something (that kinda vibe yanno) that I think might’ve still been in the Wal-Mart(?) because I was watching them from like a little ways away in my wedding-involved group (I was completely ignoring my bride friend just to gawk at these losers (sorry Ashley ;w;)) but it was like all 3 heroes & all 3 bots sitting at a table eating food & stuff in this crowded public place but everything was fine (like no one cared that they were Boxmore bots) & Rad & Raymond were sitting next to each other all cute & idk WHY but Darrell was sitting in Rad’s lap like facing him but leaning back/around so he could still see everybody else & be in the conversation bc they’re all just talking & occasionally laughing & Rad was just casually holding him like that like it was nothing and it was the most adorable hecking gd background-like scene ai’ve ever seen & I wanna cry???? WHY WASN’T DARRELL IN HIS OWN SEAT I’M SO CONFUSED LMFAO but then I was like fumbling with my phone trying to get a picture or something because I was freaking out because *OMFG I’M HERE WHERE THEY’RE ACTUALLY FILMING THE EPISODE THIS IS A LEAKED CONTENT LIKE NO ONE’S EVER SEEN BEFORE* because THAT makes total sense for a cartoon show x,D but I like kept fumbling with it too long & missed it bc I had to leave with the wedding group :,( (still leaking it to y'all now tho as best I can remember lmfao)

but anyways then I got swept up in wedding stuff again & it eventually melded into a nightmare-type thing that involved me having to drive alone to Cincinnati to meet my mom (even tho I can’t drive), apparently somehow thinking it was okay to play this like mobile minecraft-Stardew-abomination-bootleg that had these really unnerving clown sprites WHILE I was driving, subsequently stops looking where I’m going because I’m too busy playing the game & almost crashing the car for like 2 full minutes of pure anxiety that Imm still feeling in my chest, getting offered help from some Canadian geoscientists who were on their way to South America(?????? they made sure to tell me this) who couldn’t actually tell me where I was because they weren’t from the area, me then driving back home because I somehow knew how to do that but not get to Cincinnati, and thrn had to (first of all FIGHT so friggin hard & frustration-inducingly with the menus on my phone to) call Mama & tell her why I wasn’t gonna make it & I was like crying because it was SCARY & her voice was like so hard & judgey the entire time (unlike my real mom who’s always super sympathetic) and then she yelled at me & told me she had probably-breast-cancer bc the reason she was in Cinci was for a doc's appt & they had told her that they found something in her chest that meant That and????

and then I woke up. almost crying. and immediately messaged my mom telling her I love her bc we haven't talked in like a week.

ssssooooooooo yeah lmao other than the devolution into nightmare land those shippy scenes were???? the Cutest gotdang things???? :,3

May 8 Dancitron Movie Night - Captain America: Civil War

Swoop kept griping about every part that wasn’t action.

Prowl spent most of the movie shamelessly flirting with Tarantulas. He made about a half dozen stupid and potentially dangerous mistakes—i.e., the exact same thing that happens every time he shamelessly flirts with Tarantulas. And then he sat around next to Soundwave after the movie feeling like a moron.

Today ItsyBitsySpyers 8:15 pm *Soundwave has once again got everything in order ahead of time. Chairs, snacks, everything. He'll do as before and catch some movement before the others come.* medicalmurdersaurus 8:20 pm :> ItsyBitsySpyers 8:21 pm *And he's still again the second before Swoop pops in. It's hard to surprise a telepath. To his couch he'll go, and to Swoop will go Laserbeak.* medicalmurdersaurus 8:21 pm ((Literally HOW could any telepath - let alone Soundwave - miss a Dinobot approaching?)) Bird, bird hi! ItsyBitsySpyers 8:22 pm {{Hiiiiiiiii Swoop!}} ItsyBitsySpyers 8:23 pm {{You burn bot lately, eh? Eh? Neheh.}} medicalmurdersaurus 8:25 pm Noooo. Just training. Practice. Me Swoop want to get good at crossbow. medicalmurdersaurus 8:27 pm Me want to learn how to make bombs too! Like Wheeljack :> ItsyBitsySpyers 8:28 pm {{Your Wheeljack make bomb too?}} (oh lord i walked away for three minutes and this song is super inappropriate lmfao) ItsyBitsySpyers 8:29 pm {{Ooo, oo, look. It smelly Wrecker. You ask, maybe him teach.}} agooddistraction 8:30 pm What I'm not smelly, I got squeaky clean. ItsyBitsySpyers 8:30 pm {{Him Swoop want making bomb like you.}} medicalmurdersaurus 8:30 pm Wheeljack make LOTS of thing! Not just Dinobots :> What smelly Wrecker? agooddistraction 8:31 pm I can show ya, but will I get in trouble? Whirl 8:31 pm *trots on in, peers at the gathered crowd, and heads, of course, to the bar* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:33 pm *Ravage will stay waiting under a table until Whirl is at the bar, at which point he'll leap at Whirl's pedes from behind with a mock-snarl* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:34 pm [[Teach him if you want. Do not use actual materials here in the club.]] medicalmurdersaurus 8:34 pm What Wrecker? Whirl 8:34 pm *congrats, Ravage, that oblique angle, combined with the cover from the table, managed to actually surprise Whirl; he actually makes a prodigious sideways leap, like a startled bird* medicalmurdersaurus 8:34 pm keheHEHEHEH!! Him jump agooddistraction 8:35 pm How am I gonna teach without materials? ItsyBitsySpyers 8:35 pm [[You have words.

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:36 pm *Ravage sits down and looks up at Whirl, tail flicking this way and that while he laughs.* =Usual?= [[Then perhaps you could schedule a meeting.]] {{Wrecker mean... him Wreck scrap.}} agooddistraction 8:37 pm Sure. medicalmurdersaurus 8:37 pm Oh Ok Whirl 8:37 pm You know it. I picked up something different for you, this time. *procures, with a flourish, a narrow black container from his subspace* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:38 pm *Ravage leaps up on the bar and turns to sniff at the container. Maybe reach for it with a bopping test paw.* Whirl 8:38 pm *looks over and, of coruse, butts into the conversation that doesn't involve him* Wreckers are a group of elite warriors in the Autobots. The toughest and the meanest, though not necessarily in that order. medicalmurdersaurus 8:38 pm KEH! That not true! DINOBOTS toughest and meanest! Whirl 8:39 pm Maybe where you're from. *returns his attention to Ravage, letting this continue, with amusement, for a few more moments before e pops it open* *inside is a set of somewhat strong-smelling energon treats arrayed neatly in a line, with small side compartments of various thin, metal fillings and wafers, and a pair of steel chopsticks* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:40 pm ((last few minutes before start warning, grab what y'all need)) Whirl 8:40 pm I don't figure you'll need those-- *points to the sticks* And I've never had this, but Drift really seems to like it.

ItsyBitsySpyers 8:43 pm =Smells good.= [[No. No you may not.]] Bevel 8:44 pm *looks to see if Zori is around somewhere* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:45 pm *Zori is the HUGE scorpion sprawled on his own seat.* Bevel 8:45 pm *that is probably why she doesn't recognize him, he wasn't that big before* ItsyBitsySpyers 8:47 pm ((ALL RIGHT usual warning moment: y'all know this is a superhero movie so violence and death and shaky cams be the norm here. and a thing of some red flashing lights at one point. if there is anything else i have completely forgot it in the mess of 80s music but i don't think so.)) *Zori is now the huge scorpion rushing to hug Bevel hello.* FakeProwl 8:48 pm *appears* Bevel 8:48 pm ((Uh, brain washing, torture, drowning, etc?) medicalmurdersaurus 8:48 pm In 1991.....

FakeProwl 9:11 pm ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all these tragedies being displayed showing deaths and disasters caused by OTHER PEOPLE that the Avengers were trying to STOP? Whirl 9:11 pm From what I remember, yeah. That robot guy lifted that city in the air, not them. medicalmurdersaurus 9:11 pm This boring. When fighting? Bevel 9:11 pm It was aliens in New York. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm {{Soooon. You patient.}} FakeProwl 9:12 pm Not that I'm going to argue against oversight and transparency in a peacekeeping organization, but they are blaming the people trying to stop the disasters for the disasters someone else is causing. medicalmurdersaurus 9:12 pm Me never patient keheheh Whirl 9:12 pm If these guys had done NOTHING, things woud've been WORSE. They wouldn't BE THERE to whine about collateral damage. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:12 pm *Soundwave tilts his helm.

You can't expect them to do much better, hyeh, at least not yet FakeProwl 9:19 pm Vision offered an actual reason why they MIGHT potentially deserve blame for the disasters other people are causing. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:19 pm [[Of course. He didn't say 'not at all'. He simply commented on their efficiency.]] Whirl 9:19 pm If they let themselves get bogged down in red tape, then there's a good chance they'll end up kept from intervening a lot. FakeProwl 9:19 pm All that aside, though—it doesn't fully matter whether they deserve "blame." Blame is irrelevant to this issue. Oversight IS a good idea. Tarantulas 9:21 pm Blame decides where and how much weight is placed when the oversight comes into play, though FakeProwl 9:21 pm True. IDEALLY, blame should be irrelevant. medicalmurdersaurus 9:21 pm Talk boring. Fastforward to FIGHTS! :V FakeProwl 9:22 pm They do need oversight BUT at the same time it's still stupid to blame them for someone else's crimes. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm [[There will be plenty of fights, Swoop. Exercise the patience your brethren lack.]] medicalmurdersaurus 9:22 pm 😛 ItsyBitsySpyers 9:22 pm [[Can they not change their leader?]] FakeProwl 9:22 pm Talks interesting. Fast forward past the fights. Tarantulas 9:22 pm Oh please, let Swoop have his fun FakeProwl 9:23 pm *dryly* Not if he's going to publicly argue against MY fun. Whirl 9:23 pm I guess we'll have to see how tight the UN wants to make the leash--that makes all the difference in situations like this. The "oversight" might not be so bad. Magnus didn't interfere with us enough to bog us down. But it MIGHT be horrible. FakeProwl 9:23 pm Oh, it's a movie. Of course it's going to be horrible. There wouldn't be a plot if it wasn't. Tarantulas 9:23 pm You don't have to listen to him, Prowl, because we all know Soundwave isn't about to fastforward over /anything/, shhh medicalmurdersaurus 9:23 pm Prowl not fun at all ever 😛 Whirl 9:24 pm *snorts* Point. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:24 pm [[Of course he isn't fast forwarding.]] FakeProwl 9:24 pm I know he's not going to. That doesn't mean I can't state what part of the movie I find interesting.

Whirl 9:25 pm Nope! FakeProwl 9:25 pm *critically nudges Tarantulas's side* ItsyBitsySpyers 9:25 pm *Zori pats Bevel. Is she okay?* Tarantulas 9:26 pm That's because personally I would prefer the fight scenes, because none of the chatter makes any sense to me, hyeheh medicalmurdersaurus 9:26 pm That bad mask keheh Whirl 9:26 pm I wonder how long it's gonna take before people blame THIS on the superhero team. medicalmurdersaurus 9:27 pm It show whole face Bevel 9:27 pm *barely remembers her dead father and certainly wasn't there when it happened* *pets Zori* This is a good movie. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm *Bird cackles.* {{Then it not masking.}} medicalmurdersaurus 9:27 pm *laughs cause Bird is laughing* FakeProwl 9:27 pm Oh, so you have no issue with the fact that I was, supposedly, infringing upon Swoop's fun. ItsyBitsySpyers 9:27 pm *Ravage's helm pops up. Cat gods?* FakeProwl 9:27 pm You just didn't want me to express my opinion because you disagreed with it. Whirl 9:28 pm Nice. Tarantulas 9:28 pm /Teasing/, Prowl ItsyBitsySpyers 9:28 pm *Soundwave, in the meantime, glances at Prowl and Tarantulas. Is this going to be an argument? Should he allow them somewhere else to be?* Whirl 9:28 pm If he's secretly some kinda badass, I wanna see these two FIGHT. Tarantulas 9:28 pm *quieter* Quite honestly it's because Swoop is a /child/ and should be humored FakeProwl 9:28 pm *nudge nudge* Well, you've nothing to worry about, Tarantulas. I heard someone say a minute ago claim that we all know Soundwave isn't about to fast forward over anything Tarantulas 9:29 pm *one of the spider legs tugs a cable* FakeProwl 9:29 pm *skeptical look at Swoop.

See, see.}} medicalmurdersaurus 9:37 pm More fun if kick back keheh FakeProwl 9:37 pm *because if he's older than two weeks, then he's old enough to cope with the fact that, one, people might have opinions that differ from his, and two, neither his opinions nor any opposing opinions will influence how the movie progresses* Whirl 9:37 pm *leans back, lifting one leg off the table and raising it in the air like some kind of huge armored ballerina* Observe. medicalmurdersaurus 9:37 pm 😃 ItsyBitsySpyers 9:37 pm //I GOTTA remember me that trick.// Bevel 9:37 pm *cool move with the bike* Whirl 9:37 pm The stunts in this movie are CHOICE. medicalmurdersaurus 9:38 pm OH that hurt!

Tarantulas 11:42 pm *also oblivious, and suddenly distracted by a ping from his main console* FakeProwl 11:42 pm @Soundwave «I can stay after the movie for a bit longer.» Tarantulas 11:42 pm ....../Scrap/ FakeProwl 11:42 pm ... What? Whirl 11:42 pm *hops up; he will take that as yet another no* Anyway, I'm out, mecha. I've had about as much of the after-movie show as I can stomach. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:43 pm //Don't blame ya.// *Rumble lifts up a fist for bopping.* //Horror night, mech?// Whirl 11:43 pm You know it. *retracts his deedlies and claw-bumps him* Tarantulas 11:43 pm I forgot - trial sixteen ended ten minutes ago, I can't - Rrgh. I'll - *starts disentangling* FakeProwl 11:44 pm *sits up and immediately releases Tarantulas from his legs* Is something going to explode? Or melt, or cast off toxic fumes, et cetera. Tarantulas 11:45 pm /No/, no, it's fine, err. Mostly. But it might waste resources and precious time. I'll be in touch Whirl 11:46 pm ((YOU CAN'T PLAY MEAT LOAF WHEN I'M GETTIN READY TO LEAVE...)) FakeProwl 11:46 pm Go salvage your trial. ItsyBitsySpyers 11:46 pm ((but it was right there...)) Tarantulas 11:46 pm *suddenly pouty, dangit* Whirl 11:47 pm ((i mus stay)) Tarantulas 11:47 pm Until then? *getting up, lots of accidental touching* Whirl 11:47 pm Let me know if you think of anything, Ravage. FakeProwl 11:47 pm Until then. *whoops he's accidentally touching tarantulas back* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:47 pm ((wait what was ravage requesting?)) ((did i miss something)) Bevel 11:48 pm *gonna hang out with Zori as long as Zori and Soundwave allow it* Tarantulas 11:48 pm *nuzzle on the top of his helm, nibbles his chevron, then he's gone* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm *Soundwave will send Bevel permission to go upstairs and hang out with Zori in the lounge.* FakeProwl 11:48 pm *~bliss~* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:48 pm *The door to the second floor clicks.* Whirl 11:49 pm ((Whirl asked if ravage had any requests for things to be brought) Bevel 11:49 pm *yay permisson* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:49 pm ((OH! then i will think things up by wednesday. sorry!!!)) Whirl 11:49 pm ((UR FINE)) Tarantulas 11:49 pm (( night peeps ItsyBitsySpyers 11:49 pm ((night)) Whirl 11:49 pm ((night!)) Bevel 11:49 pm ((night Whirl 11:49 pm *and, claw-bump delivered, Whirl's gonna trot on out* FakeProwl 11:51 pm *... scoots a little closer to soundwave. but soundwave scooted /away/ for some reason, won't close that gap himself.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:53 pm *He's not intruding on anything now, and he would rather keep what contact he can while he still can, in case he ruins things somehow. So, yes, he will close the gap.* FakeProwl 11:53 pm *good. leans on.* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:55 pm *Vents. This isn't - he hasn't had many things to be angry about with partners since he started trying to walk the right lines. So... bluntness it is.* FakeProwl 11:56 pm *~still oblivious~* ItsyBitsySpyers 11:57 pm (txt): Phase shifter -Soundwave's- reward offer. Yesterday ItsyBitsySpyers 11:58 pm (txt): Share permission never given. Offer walkaround. Again. FakeProwl 12:00 am *............ is beginning to get the impression he might have messed something up* ... Uh. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:01 am *Patiently waits for a more complete sentence, or an indication that he needs to explain himself more.* FakeProwl 12:03 am ... I've made a mistake somehow. You're upset? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:03 am *Nod.* FakeProwl 12:03 am What, precisely, is the thing you're upset over. *please don't be more upset because Prowl had to ask.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:06 am *Actually, if anything, he's just a smidge relieved to know it probably wasn't done on purpose. At least, he thinks Prowl wouldn't act oblivious if he wasn't. That'd be lying to him. Wouldn't it?* FakeProwl 12:06 am *if it helps, prowl definitely has his Nervous face on right now.* *admittedly his nervous face looks like almost all his other faces* *kinda :| and all* *but with a little more 8| to it* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:09 am (txt): Prowl agreed future security game: ours. If Soundwave: defeated, reward: phase shifter. Offer intention -not- Tarantulas idea transfer, Tarantulas invention request, game promise escape. Potential access commentary not wanted. Prowl possession: intended secret. (txt): Spoiled. Game circumvented. This, like bridge. FakeProwl 12:10 am I... oh. No, no, no no, I'm not trying to circumvent the game. I—scrap. I WANT to play the game. If Tarantulas walked up to me tomorrow with a phase shifter he'd stayed up all night to make, I'd still want to play. That's—the appeal is the game, not the reward. I don't—I mean, yes, I DO want access to a phase shifter, but—if that was ALL I wanted, I wouldn't have asked to get it through a game that there's a very high chance I'm not going to win. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:14 am (txt): Irrelevant. If won, phase shifter: hidden emergency use, trust token. Now Tarantulas knowledge possessed. Will make, expect. Expected if -not- made. Prowl stated access available. FakeProwl 12:14 am ... Ah. *Prowl hadn't said HOW he had access, or WHO would give him access—but that, that wasn't relevant, was it?* ... Yes, that's a... a very... valid...... criticism. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:16 am *Prowl doesn't exactly know a lot of Uniend mecha, let alone those who would give him such a token.* FakeProwl 12:17 am *give Prowl a moment while he rubs his optics. And mutters a curse into his hands.* FakeProwl 12:18 am Stupid. Stupid and thoughtless. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:19 am (txt): -Negative.- Prowl not stupid. *The speed with which that bolded message comes back could outrace Blurr.* FakeProwl 12:20 am My action was. This is undeniable. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:21 am *Still doesn't like applying that to Prowl. That's a word he reserves for Smokescreen and such.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:22 am (txt): Careless, dangerous, hurtful. [][][]Stupid[][][] refused. FakeProwl 12:24 am I have reduced both of our safety and removed one of our backup defense measures. Because I felt like—like—like /flirting/, by asking him how long it would take him to make a device I don't actually want him to make, and I settled on the very first piece of technology I saw in the movie that he hadn't ALREADY invented. Insisting that's not "stupid" is mincing words and more than I deserve. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:25 am *Rough vent. He's not going to win that one. And everything before 'insisting' is true.* FakeProwl 12:26 am *lacking basic intelligence and failing to use it has the same end result* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:31 am (txt): Prowl told Tarantulas interest: dangerous. Interest itself understood. Tarantulas feelings known. Prowl's guessed. If Tarantulas not hurtful, affection accepted. *A feeler flicks while he tries to gather the second half of that thought.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:33 am (txt): However, Prowl not... Prowl, Soundwave: similar. Cannot abandon -all- care. Unsafe. *An insufficient reply. It flicks harder. He hates being trapped by these sometimes.* FakeProwl 12:33 am *buries face in hand. mumble mumble* know it's dangerous, this is the exact sort of moronic... *groan* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:34 am *No no no. No face burying.* *Will take wrists and put them on his instead.* FakeProwl 12:35 am *... is he covering soundwave's face now* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:35 am *Yeah, but he's fine with that.* FakeProwl 12:35 am *... this doesn't help as much as covering his own face, but okay* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:37 am *They're on a face and it's reducing one physical chance of getting stuck in a mental rut. It will do.* FakeProwl 12:38 am ... I'm sorry. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:38 am *Nods.* (txt): Prowl safety wanted. ... Abandonment, status: convenient use not wanted. Worry. Concern. *Okay, so maybe he's the one hiding in them now. Shh.* FakeProwl 12:40 am ... Whose abandonment? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:41 am (txt): Own. Not inventor. Cannot surpass, if other offers circumvented. *And, of course, the useless are, well... useless.* FakeProwl 12:43 am ... I won't... I'm not going to abandon you. FakeProwl 12:44 am I—don't... I don't value you as a convenient resource. FakeProwl 12:46 am That doesn't mean... I... *okay. look at your lap and power through this, Prowl.* That's not to—to downplay your—usefulness. You ARE useful. I don't want you to feel that you are not. But you possess worth to me independent from your usefulness. ... Did that come out right? That came out wrong. I said that wrong. Didn't I. ItsyBitsySpyers 12:48 am *Curls grip around Prowl's wrists tighter.* (txt): Negative. FakeProwl 12:48 am *is that an angry grip curl* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:48 am *No. No, it's not.* FakeProwl 12:49 am *it totally is isn't it* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:50 am *Lowers the hands, but only for a second. He knows Prowl might freak out about feelers, so instead he twists to set one leg up on the couch and pulls.* *C'mere.* FakeProwl 12:50 am *comes?* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:52 am *Good. Gonna just. Rest his forehead on the closest portion of the avatar's frame. Maybe form an open-ended ring with his arms.* (txt): Grateful. FakeProwl 12:53 am ... Oh. ... *wraps arms around Soundwave's waist* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:54 am *Long, slow, quiet vent.* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:55 am (txt): ...Will still play, if game wanted. Different reward, perhaps. Uncertain. FakeProwl 12:56 am ... I haven't ruined it? ItsyBitsySpyers 12:56 am *He's got to figure out whether or not it's too risky to keep the phase shifter promise now first.* *Small shake of helm against avatar.* (txt): Challenge wanted. Prowl time wanted. FakeProwl 12:57 am *... lays helm on soundwave's shoulder* ItsyBitsySpyers 12:59 am *Maybe a little bit of an extra glow, now that things feel... safer? Cleared up, at least.* FakeProwl 12:59 am *no glow here. metaphorical or otherwise. just feels... stupid.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:01 am *He'll rub his cheek fins against the helm on his shoulder. None of that.* (txt): Prowl said... *Where is the voice clip.* FakeProwl 1:01 am *not even Simple Man can help. ... although admittedly it isn't hurting.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:05 am [][][]I’m not going to punish you.[][][] Found it. (txt): Error. Own made, forgiven. Progress, learning. Improvements. FakeProwl 1:07 am Not being punished doesn't undo the fact that I was— Well, you know what I was. *Soundwave doesn't want to hear the word "stupid."* Nor does it undo the consequences. ItsyBitsySpyers 1:09 am (txt): Cannot change. *Not entirely true. He could rip the conversation out of Tarantulas' helm. Like hell is he suggesting that though.* (txt): Will compensate. Adjusting damaged plans, our talents. *A combination of concerned and humor tags. He's not entirely sure that one will go over well.* FakeProwl 1:12 am *doesn't understand the humor. they ARE going to have to compensate and make adjustments.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:12 am *Ah well. It was just a little pick at all of their combined former comrades anyway.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:15 am *Soundwave cautiously taps Prowl on the back.* FakeProwl 1:16 am *shifts head* Hm? ItsyBitsySpyers 1:19 am (txt): ...This, comfortable? Hold adjustment unnecessary? *He doesn't. Really know if Prowl would rather face this way or the other way or what.* FakeProwl 1:20 am ... This is good. *holds a little tighter* You? ItsyBitsySpyers 1:21 am *Thinks, puffs a little, and tips his helm toward the speakers.* *Will settle in and, granted he's permitted, pet said back to the tune. Nice and calming, or so he'd hope.* FakeProwl 1:22 am *listens for a moment; then huffs in amusement. all right. he'll linger in soundwave's arms* *slightly amazed he's still receiving romantic music tonight. would have thought he'd at least be banned from them for a couple of weeks.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:25 am *Well, he's not about to go on a spree of them - the night was a bit rough and that might be... overwhelming. For both of them.* *But he doesn't suddenly hate Prowl either. One is good.* FakeProwl 1:26 am *one is more than he expected. that PLUS cuddles? now Prowl's thinking either Soundwave's standards are very low, or he's just suppressing whatever absolutely justified grievances he's got at Prowl right now. neither is good.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:29 am *The contact is helpful for him as well, and he expressed his grievances. They were addressed. He can't do anything else but plan around them. He's tired and isn't going to start that until the morning.* *But Prowl is welcome to comment, if he is concerned.* FakeProwl 1:29 am *but he always thinks that Soundwave is quietly giving him slack on things Prowl shouldn't be getting away with.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:31 am *It's a night for airing things. Care to share?* FakeProwl 1:32 am *not really. if that IS what Soundwave is doing—and it probably is—then pointing out that he's noticed it will just make Soundwave double down on hiding it.* *besides, Soundwave already knows Prowl feels like Soundwave does too much for him.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:34 am *Then wouldn't it be the right thing to tell him that might be another one?* *He can't examine what he's too close to see himself maybe doing, depending on what these things Prowl shouldn't be getting away with are.* FakeProwl 1:36 am *a part of Prowl is sure that the more he points out Soundwave is doing it, the more Soundwave will resent Prowl for pointing out that he's doing it* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:38 am *That part needs a swift kick in the butt from the part that says if Soundwave has a strange habit of trying to please, then he will -want- to know he's doing something wrong so he can fix it.* *Or try to, anyway. Some habits are difficult to reshape.* FakeProwl 1:40 am *maybe next time prowl will have the nerve to say something. not this time. he's already made enough mistakes tonight.* ItsyBitsySpyers 1:42 am *Very well. Then until Prowl is ready to go home, Soundwave will just content himself with slowly drifting toward (but never quite letting himself reach) a doze with an armful of Prowl. Maybe internally focus on the whole non-abandonment and value beyond usefulness thing.* FakeProwl 2:00 am *... how long is he going to be allowed to get away with sitting here* *because now he's comfortable. but he's kind of worried Soundwave is staying only for Prowl's benefit.* *tentatively* If... you have something else you need to do—I don't want to keep you. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:03 am *Stretches the leg that's still touching ground a little, straightening the knee out all the way and then back in.* FakeProwl 2:05 am *..................... watches* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:06 am *Huffs. Of course. But, reluctantly.* (txt): Recharge needed. Should acquire. This, also liked. Would combine. ... Can't. Yet. FakeProwl 2:07 am ... I have no problem with sitting here while you recharge. Or sitting somewhere else. Whichever. *prowl knows he doesn't deserve it right now. but if soundwave WANTS it...* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:12 am (txt): Negative, not... This, paranoia remnant. Wanted, much; processor disallowing. Common difficulty. Long contact, good, comfortable, helpful. Recharge: vulnerable state. Soundwave not... not able yet. Regretted. Soon. Time, idea adjustment needed. FakeProwl 2:13 am I see. That's fine. Understandable. *he'd thought it might have been the holomatter issue.* Then I won't keep you awake. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:14 am *That doesn't help. Prowl can, currently, move around undetected. Maybe not a problem in the future, but...* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:15 am *Well, it's not always easy going from All Autobots Suck to This One Autobot I Really Like. As much as he'd wish it was.* (txt): Understanding appreciated. FakeProwl 2:16 am *no, no, obviously it ISN'T the holomatter issue. he'd ORIGINALLY thought it might be that because Soundwave would assume he wouldn't want to stay if he couldn't sleep too; but, obviously, that wasn't the problem* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:17 am *There are two different Holomatter Issues here.* FakeProwl 2:17 am *clearly* I won't keep you up, then. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:18 am *Nods. Headbump?* FakeProwl 2:19 am *headbump* *... considers apologizing again. decides it wouldn't make any difference.* ItsyBitsySpyers 2:20 am *Low hum. Good... good. And no, not really. Once is fine. The rest is just anxiety talking.* (txt): Goodnight. *Gonna get comfortable right where he is. Too tired to go upstairs.* FakeProwl 2:21 am *more importantly, it wouldn't make a difference.* I'll see you later. ItsyBitsySpyers 2:23 am (txt): Agreed. *And yes, he sleeps on his front if he's alone. As soon as Prowl flickers out, so will he. So to speak.* FakeProwl 2:24 am *flickers and disappears*
