After The War: Foxx Hunting (Prev <-)
Tumblr media
"Commander."
On anyone else, the tone would suggest simple statement. But there was a lilt. A slight inflection, I had long learned to spot, at the end of the word. That made it a greeting. A call. Monotone filled with subtle, near untraceable mocking.
"Tired of running yet, Commander? Or do you want to struggle more? You can, if you want. I can let you. We have time. After all, it really won't change much. There's no where you can go."
Head tilted ever so slightly, at an almost an invisible angle. Posture, military perfect, impossibly so. That perfection bought with pain, torture, born out of brutal necessity. His lips quirked, in an amused curl. At just that same, impossibly slight amount. Too small and indistinct for his tormentors to notice. To take from him.
Just enough to stay human, I had thought. Too stay sane, I had hoped.
I was wrong.
My biggest mistake hunted me. Had all the power in the GALAXY now, to hunt me. All the time he could ever dream, in which to do so. And it was all my fault. Me. It had to be. I... I was the only thing that changed. Tried to make things... things BETTER!
How arrogant. Hubristic. Who the fuck was I? To think I had the RIGHT, to shape and change the fate of an entire GALAXY to my whims? I didn't even know the story. Had been GUESSING, based off STAR WARS. So... so fucking confident. A-and what did that get me? Oh god. O-Oh god!
The blaster burns on my arms and legs screamed, as I forced myself up, one more time. Always, please god, always! J-just one more time! Don't give out on me yet. Not.. not until we are safe. Then. Then! We can cry. Howl and weep, break down and scream.
(My fault. My Fault. MY FAUL-)
None of the characters were an exact match. People were and weren't where they should be. Plots happened out of sequence or not at all. So why? WHY? Did I believe so hard in the Clones? IS it because I loved, still LOVE, the Vode? Did that trust transfer? That emotional connection? Was I tricked? Or was I just a fool? Does it MATTER in the end? If the result is the same?
I brought a monster, straight to Power.
Now they're dead. All my brothers, my sisters, my mentors and friends. Dead, dead, DEAD! Glowing weapons on the ground and a temple filled with DEATH. D-Did the nurseries get out? Please, oh god, let the children have survived my mistake.
Blood stains my robes. Only a tiny fraction of it, is mine.
Sticky and slick, oily and so many colors. The blood does not mix. Too many species, too much ash from the air. If I do not clean or remove it soon? I am likely to get chemical burns, from the reactions developing on the cloth. But again and again. My mistake finds me. A pursuit predator. Intent on wearing me down.
"How long will you try, Commander? You know just as well as I do, that I can afford to wait you out. You'll drop eventually." His tone was so mild, even as his words were horrifying. Overhead, a transport kept steady pace, as I desperately ran from commandos on the streets. "How many days has it been without proper rest? Rations? To stop and think? We've survived far worse then this, Commander. For far longer. We can endure, can you?"
I pull my magic around me, through my screaming legs, to fling myself across a jump they shouldn't be able to make.
Despair surges, as behind me... I hear jetpacks. Ah. They've gotten better gear, at long last. E-Everything I've ever wished for them. Gear and food and safety, at long last! A-At long last. I have to laugh, hysterical and afraid. I just... I just never thought my wish? Would be fulfilled for the purpose of hunting me down.
(I'm so tired. Please, god. No more. Let it stop. Let this nightmare END!)
Jumping, I land in a roll on a level several floors down. The impact is ugly. Agony on my burns and bruises. I may have not taken any direct hits? But those glancing strikes? Still leave marks. Trails of seared, blistering, blaster burns. Like tiger strips. As though you hade been struck, by whip made of fire. Not to mention the concussion grenades.
Yeah, half way through the attack, the Clones had stumbled. Either broken free of the Not Sith's control or come to their senses, deciding to switch to non-lethal weapons. Probably trying to go for the capture instead of the kill. But given the sheer variety of the Knights? One Being's sedative was another's lethal toxin. And the gas attacks...
I... I'm still not even sure if... if Master Rim'Llahiy survived long enough, to get to the healers. The seizures were BAD. He... he didn't deserve that. All he'd ever done, was keep the gardens. Live a quite life. T...Try to defend his home.
Around me, as I run, screens light up. Somehow, I'm the focal point. I... I don't know how he's doing this. It has to be Sketch or Gear, one of the Slicers. Who else could hack into so many systems so easily? The... the knowledge that they're helping him? That everyone of the Guard is HELPING him hunt me? I feel sick.
Was any of it real? Was I friends with ANY of them? Or... Or was I just them happy little slave master, patting myself on the back, because I didn't beat them, unlike the others? Aren't I gracious. Don't you just love me? Say thank you for my grace. Let me feel good about my self! My pretty little charity of the day! Before I skip back off to fairy land! Leaving you all in hell.
Do I deserve this? I... I have to deserve this... right?
Even though I tried. Even though I fought and fought and FOUGHT. Even when that Not A Sith BASTARD tried to kill me at every turn, just to shut me the fuck up, and I WOULDN'T. Because they deserved to be free. Because it was WRONG. Because we took VOWS, remember? Days and days, convincing and campaigning.
I have to... to somehow, deserve this. Because? B-because if I DON'T?
Then What Have I DONE?
City levels and blocks blur together. I couldn't tell you where on this god forsaken ecumenopolis I am anymore. But the others! The others have gotten off planet by now. Surely... surely! They have escaped! Right? They HAVE too. I-It HAS to have been worth it. Becoming bait. M-making myself a target. This... this one last time?
It.. it was WORTH it. Right? Right?!
Please! Please god! Let it have been WORTH IT!!
I skid around a corner. Too tight, not judging it right in my panic, my shoulder clipping the wall hard. Scraping flesh through my robes. Just more bruises and hurt to add to the pile. I don't slow. Can't slow. Feel it but push the pain away. The crash later will be ugly, when I release the magics flowing through me. When the adrenaline fades. But... but either I will live to endure it? Or it will not matter at all.
Too late, though, I see the trap.
I have been corralled. Like a a sheep from my first life, harried by dogs into a pen. Tricked into a corner. No where left to go. The platform I thought was a street? Was an alley between two buildings, leading to a third. A perfect little killbox with only one way out. I stumble, horrified, as I register the truth too late. Spin, already knowing it's too late to double back. But hoping... HOPING....!
Jetpacks. The commando squadron of the guards, touching down at the entrance, a solid line of armor and skill. Better weapons, jet packs, upgraded armor. They... they even seem rested. For the first time in years.
A stark reversal. Now it is I, who is barely holding on. Now I am the one, who has been ground to dust, by the exhaustion of fighting without end. Of running and running. No real food and no real rest. No medicine. No help coming. I want to laugh, scream, weep. So it's to be poetic justice, is it?
But I can not give in.
Forgive me. But I can not, WILL NOT give in. Body exhausted, I draw my blade. The plasma humming as the magics charge. The alleyway fills with light. I took Vows. Owe my soul to the Galaxy and it's people. Regardless of Regime, I have service I must complete. And to do that? I have to be alive.
(I don't care, that they took over. Let them have it. But how could you? How COULD YOU?! The Temple was my home. I am a hypocrite. Here, at the end, I must face that. And now I know it to be true.)
The ship over head dips lower, kicking up a hurricane of wind. My robes whip around me, but I do not move from my opening stance. Ready, not ready, but resigned to it none the less. The Commandos are a silent wall as, from above, a rip cord descends. Clipped to it? Marshall Commander... no, Supreme Commander Foxx.
The Clones newly elected Emperor.
A man I THOUGHT was my friend.
He looked nothing like Commander Fox of the Vode. Hair too long and curling. Face deceptively young looking and boyish. Non regulation piercing hidden under the helmet all Guards wore, day in and day out. They hadn't been able to customize their armor like the others. So they customized themselves.
He wasn't in armor, now. It was somehow worse. The dress uniform an affront, a reminder, like a curse of broken glass. I... I hadn't even known he owned such a thing. It made sense, given his old position. Yet, somehow... somehow? I doubted this was the uniform he had been given. It looked... looked Regal.
"Are we done, now? Got it out of your system? Or should one of us put you on the ground first? Grind your face right against the filthy floor?"
His voice was mild as ever, as he calmly unclipped himself, let the cord retract. He tucked his hands behind his back. Strolled forward with measured steps, assessing eyes, like a general examining untested troops. Picking me apart for weakness, looking for openings in my stance. Injuries on my body. I had seen him do this before. Just... just never thought... it'd be used... a-against me. (How arrogant, I had been.)
"This can stop at any time, Commander. All you have to do? Is stop running. You don't have to worry anymore. I'm not going to hurt you. We're not going to hurt you. You've struggled long enough, don't you think? It's time to be done. To come home. Be taken care off. That's all we want to do, Darling. Commander."
"Surely you can see, that it's BETTER this way? No more war. No more Knights on sabotaged missions. Diplomats to war zones. Children where they shouldn't BE. The Order can be SAFE now. YOU can be safe now. Loved and precious as you always should have been. It's okay now, Commander. Come here. It's okay..."
Foxx's eyes blazed with conviction. They had been brown, like his brothers. They... oh god, they SHOULD have been brown. But as I stared into his face, at those unfamiliar eyes on what should be so familiar a form? Red stared back. The red, Red, RED, of the Fallen.
Foxx had been... had been Energy Sensitive. The Cloners had fucking LIED, when they said it wasn't possible. I had always suspected. Didn't dare bring attention to it. Didn't want my friend to be... to be KILLED. Experimented on. I should have trained him. Done more.
Desperate people will reach for anything, to stop themselves from drowning. And the Dark offers such tempting things. Vengeance and Power. Freedom, no matter the cost. It pays sweetly then corrupts slow. There is always a cost.
I can not risk it.
Shifting my weight to my front leg, in preparation to surge forward, I never get the chance. A two fold thwip! And sharp pinch in my upper arm. I got the first. But the second... a? Dart? No. NO! Panicked, I flood my body with the magics meant to purge drugs and... instantly the world spins. I have somehow just made it worse. W-what?
"Confiscated from slavers, 'bout five months back. It's a high end drug." The Commando with the dart gun said, as though commentingon the weather. "Fairly new, too. Made to react specifically to the Cosmic Energies. Our esteemed Chancellor, may he rot as he deserves, had them developed through several shell companies."
"Really wish you hadn't done that, Commander. Cause, see, the side effects? Are pretty nasty." Foxx commented. Various helmets nodded, the guards body language sympathetic but lacking any remorse. What ever it took to bring me in. To make me Safe.
"Now you're going to be sick for a while. But on the other hand? You are a stubborn one. So maybe this'll give you time to think, hmm? Time to enjoy the pampering a bit. You'll get used to it, learn to be good for me. I know you. You're a smart girl."
My legs couldn't hold me anymore. Despite struggling, I couldn't keep my blade at the ready. Helplessly, I watched as he watched forward. Used a single finger, on the hilt, to push my blade to the side. The lightest of tugs, stealing it from me entirely. At long last, the tears came. I... I was scared. Really, really scared. P-please... Foxx, please...
"Hunts over, Commander. It's time to stop running. You've lost."
"But, that? That's okay. You can lose now. Be weak. Wretched and pathetic and flawed. You don't have to be perfect any more, Commander. I've got you. You're Mine. Ours. Perfect, just the way you are. And today?"
"Today is the start of the rest of your new life, Commander."
"Welcome to the Empire."

Lost little girl
Xiao Wang is a drug addict, and whenever he takes drugs, his sexual desire will rise, but he has not been favored by a girl because of his ugly appearance, so whenever his sexual desire is high, he will turn to prostitutes to vent. That night, Xiao Wang took drugs and went to the prostitute as usual on his way to the brothel household. He suddenly heard the girl crying when he was passing through an alley. Out of curiosity, he went to the alley. At the entrance of the alley, he saw a little girl sitting by the wall crying.
He asked her, "what's the matter with you, little sister? why are you sitting here alone crying your parents?" As soon as the little girl heard this, she said that she was separated from her parents because she went shopping and didn't know where to go. She didn't know her way home and she was so hungry that she had to sit here and cry. As soon as I heard it out of compassion, I told him that my uncle would take you to dinner first and then take a bath when I took you to the police station when I took you to your parents.
As soon as the little girl heard this, she immediately cried for joy, grabbed my hand and said thank you to my uncle, so I went to the supermarket to buy lunches and snacks and drinks and took her back to my place. When she was full, she asked her to take a bath. Suddenly she shouted in the bathroom that she had no clothes to change. It occurred to me that there were no children's clothes at home, so I had to take my shirt with the underwear I had stolen and collected elsewhere. Picked one for her and asked her to wear it first and put it back on when the clothes were dry.
At this time, I was sitting in the living room watching TV, because I was going to find a prostitute but encountered this kind of thing, and could not solve the problem of high sexual desire, and the trousers that the thick meat stick had been wearing all the time made me very uncomfortable, uncle. I washed it, and as soon as I looked back, I answered, "come here to watch TV and wait for the clothes to dry. I'm taking you to your parents." as soon as she heard it, the little girl went and sat down next to me.
As soon as I saw my shirt for him to wear, it was as long as he was wearing pajamas, and when he sat down, the hem of the shirt was a little apart, and the little underwear I gave her was looming, white and with Reese. Her feet are quite long, and her snow-white calves are all exposed, so sexy!
I couldn't help licking my lips and swallowing my saliva. At this time, the meat stick became even stronger and almost broke my pants. I asked her, "what's your name?" How old are you? She replied that my name was Lin Meiru, who was 11 years old. I thought to myself that I was only 11 years old. I have fucked so many women over the age of 30 or 40, and they are all prostitutes who make money. When have I ever done such a young tooth?
The evil thought that flashed in my heart made me move. I leaned over to Meiru, stretched out my hand and touched it on my thigh. When I came into contact with the beautiful white legs, I couldn't help shaking, so slippery and tender! And Meiru was also startled by my move, and hurriedly got up and was about to run away. How could I let her escape when I was so horny? with one hand, I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms and hugged her. Meiru said to me with a frightened face, what are you going to do, uncle?
Come on, what am I going to do? Of course I want to screw you! I answered her with a lewd smile, then pressed my mouth on her cherry mouth and kissed her. Mei struggled to get up but was suppressed by me and to no avail. I wanted to shout and my mouth was sealed with my mouth and could only send out: "Š±Š½" Umā€¦ Um. " The voice, but did not know that she did so only to deepen my sexual desire.
I tore the whole shirt open to reveal her little breasts. Her tits were only slightly raised because they were not fully developed. I kissed her with one hand and played with her nipples. While the other hand gradually slipped down until the mysterious zone between her legs stopped, she began to touch her hole through the little underwear.
"ā€¦ Umā€¦ No, please. Don't do this. Ah. No, you can't touch it there. Whoo. No, please. Meiru is crying! " I pressed her directly on the sofa and kissed her lips slowly until she stopped between her legs. I pulled my hands on the edge of my underwear and pulled it off smoothly. Meiru was naked. I began to study her undeveloped virgin land.
There was no hair in the smooth and tender hole, only a small crack. I stretched out my hand to slowly separate her labia. I saw that the hole inside was as big as a ballpoint pen. As soon as I could not help it, I put out my tongue around the hole and licked it up. And into the small hole, the beautiful hole was so tight that it was not easy for my tongue to go in. When my tongue reached into it, I felt the beauty tremble all over. And make a sound from the mouth.
"ā€¦ Ahā€¦ I can't. It hurts. No, please. Whoo. You need to stop licking. Whoo. " Suddenly my tongue felt some sticky liquid in the small hole, and it turned out that the beauty was based on female instincts, so I sucked on the virgin's honey. Ahā€¦ No, please. Whoo. It hurts. " As Meiru cries, my libido is getting higher and higher, and the meat sticks in my pants are getting harder and harder.
I quickly stripped off my clothes, and my more than eight-inch meat stick appeared in front of Meiru. With it, I ordered Meiru. As soon as I saw the frightened expression on my big meat stick, I said no. I pinched her nose and waited for her to open her mouth slightly. I inserted the meat stick into her mouth and couldn't bite it. I told Meiru and then enjoyed the pressing feeling of the meat stick in the small mouth bar, which was so refreshing.
That kind of feeling is incomparable to those prostitutes, comfortable so that I can not help but pull up, the pressing pressure let me have the feeling of ejaculation, I quickly pulled out the meat stick, I put Meiru's legs on my shoulders and put the meat stick against the vaginal orifice, the beauty at this time as soon as I looked hurriedly made the last struggle "Š±Š½ Whooā€¦ Pleaseā€¦ No, please. Whoo. " But it didn't work. I slowly pushed the glans in, but Meiru's small hole was so small and not lubricated enough, so I couldn't insert it for a long time but made it hurt a little bit.
I suddenly saw a bottle of Fanshilin on the table, so I painted some on the glans and some on Meiru's vaginal orifice, then opened Meiru's legs to the maximum, pointed at the target again, and inserted it forcefully. The huge glans have slowly advanced into the small vagina. Ahā€¦ It hurts so muchā€¦ You don't want. " Just before the words of Meiru were finished, I tried again, the thick meat stick was already halfway through the hymen and reached the mouth of the uterus, it was so cool, and it felt so good that the meat stick felt as if it had been tightly squeezed by someone's hand.
At this time, Meiru shouted "Š±Š½" Ahā€¦ It hurts. " Then I fainted, and I didn't care to insert it harder. The meat stick had all entered the little vagina and burst the mouth of the uterus into the womb. That comfortable feeling made me not only breathe a sigh of relief, but also began to pull and insert. As my meat stick went in and out, it also brought some blood from the vagina, and under my sprint, Meiru woke up and only felt a tear in the lower body. When I saw that I was inserting her hole, I cried loudly and kicked my legs randomly.
". Whooā€¦ It hurts so muchā€¦ I don't want it. You need to stop doing thisā€¦ It's almost outā€¦ My little hole is broken by you. Please don't do it again. It really hurts. Whoo. " Stop fighting, I am comfortable to wait, I pulled out the meat stick, turned over and grabbed her waist to raise, let her into a dog position and then pulled her ass to me. With a sigh, I put the whole meat stick into the little hole of Meiru and pulled it up, which made my meat stick deeper. I saw Meiru screaming and crying again and again.
Suddenly a warm liquid surrounded the glans, and Meiru's little hole contracted and oppressed my meat stick. I knew that the little girl had reached the best part of her life for the first time. And I couldn't stand the comfortable feeling that as soon as the horse's eyes loosened, I thrust myself into the womb and ejected semen, and Meiru was stimulated by my hot semen, and fell down trembling and powerless. I also followed the pressure down the meat stick is still reluctant to pull out, and continue to insert in Meiru's small hole.
I don't know how long it took me to leave Meiru's body slowly. When the meat stick was pulled out, Meiru's little hole was still slowly flowing out of my semen. I wanted to be as beautiful as getting dressed and taking her to the door of a police station. When I asked her to go in, I turned and left quickly. I was walking on the road with the taste of dry teeth. I think I must be young and unadulterous in the future.

Portrait spamming
Recent discovery. If you click on the portraits of the characters like crazy, they will react to it. And the developers had a lot of fun coding these reactions xD

combat - Eyes on the prize - we need to win this! - Not every soldier should've made it out of training. - Eyes on victory, tummy on dinner. - I ought to just burn this whole thing down.
stealth - My back can't take much more of this. - Not now, I'm being a sneak! - I'm getting too old for this nonsense. - I'm not built to crouch.
Gale
normal - I hope Halaster takes good care of Tara while I'm away. - Sembian wine; Cormyrian boar; Waterdhavian conversation. It's the little things you miss while on the road. - Oh, what a tangled Weave we web! - All the world's my stage and you're just a player in it.

It is well for you that Boo does not let me learn the bad words! - Ignore them, Boo. Let them gaze deep into their own abyss, and wonder just what it is they are trying to achieve.
stealth - A little to the left? But not so hard you make me giggle. - Boo...? Are you dancing down there, or...? - Hush! I am surprising Boo for his birthday! He is... uh... eh... how old do hamsters get...? - I am the night. A pity, then, that it is so bright out.

TOP TEN DINOSAURUSES
maybe you're wondering my most tenned favorite dinosauruses??? The science study of dinasacacers is called "dinosaurusology" by leading experts like myself, and it is constantly changing as we make new uncoveries almost every tuesday when we find new bones in my cousin rob's garage (he hasn't thrown anything out since the 90's!) As such bear in mind that up to two facts I am about to share could become dated over the course of the next century, however as both the king and queen of science this will only be true if I'm still available to approve the new facts. If I'm dead or kind of tired then nobody will ever know what's true anymore so you should be nice to me. #10: OVIRAPTOR
Tumblr media
OVIRAPTOR was a good model for what all dinosacans were like: it was a wrinkly lizard that slithered in filthy dirt and had difficulty standing upright because its bones were made of rocks. This is why we have the term "the stone age," so be grateful you're living in "the bone age!" Oviraptor's name means "eggs velociraptor" because it was a kind of velociraptor that stole eggs. It didn't know what to do with them because nobody invented cooking yet and raw dinosaur eggs were disgusting, so every oviraptor starved to death.
#9: IGUANADON
Tumblr media
This was the last known photograph of IGUANA DON (not to be confused with his cousin iguana dan) when george washington invented photographs 2 million years ago. Don was an ugly disgusting hilarious lizard monster with one horn on its nose and he died because he evolved a dining room in his torso exactly the right size for 21 cavemen to walk in and eat his kidneys. This was not helped by don's instinct to sleep on a big porch under a chandelier.
#9 DIMETRODON
Tumblr media
DIMETRODON was the most common dinosaur of jurassic, which was the fifth and final era of dinosaurs after the ice age but before the ediacaran. In fact dimetrodon was the very last dinosaur to ever exist on earth before they were all eaten to death by the ediacaran's dominant predator: a species of swirly looking weird rock. Nobody knows why these swirly looking weird rocks died out, but it's most likely because dimetrodon was so poisonous from its diet of entirely pufferfish. You can tell it was a sea dinosaur because of its fish fin! #8: PTERADACTYL
Tumblr media
PTERODACTYL was a regular dinosaur until it got married to a species of bat and its bat wife laid a bunch of pterodactyl eggs! This woodcut is however inaccurate: flying would not be invented until president obama discovered the first airplane in 1998, so pterodactyl couldn't possibly have stayed in the air and just immediately fell. The long 900 million year reign of the pterodactyl abruptly ended when the last one finally hit the ground (it took longer in those days because the oxygen disaster made so much more air) #7 SNORKASAURUS
Tumblr media
SNORKASAURUS was completely unique among all dinocaurs by having a really long neck. It was one of the largest creatures to ever roam the earth at over 7 feet tall, or exactly 12 meters to those of you living in Liberia or Myanmar! This is the last known photograph of snorkasaurus, giving birth to the first cavemen. Snorkasaurus went extinct because all of them did this instead of making baby snorkasauruses. This is because like all dinosaurii they had only a tiny peanut for a brain, and nobody was around to give them 'the talk' because that wasn't invented yet.
#6 SMILODON
Tumblr media
SMILODON was a very special dinosaurn because it was the first one to stand up on its hind legs after years of rigorous exercise and weight training. By inventing this new way of walking, Smilodon made it possible for the first monkeys to evolve! This is called "convergent" evolution.
#5 BULBASAUR
Tumblr media
BULBASAUR was a majestic and beautiful species of neopet unfortunately disliked by the scientific community because it is the reason there are no flying dinosuars. Bulbasaur was the first ever flying dyanasar ever invented, 19 billion years ago on September 10, 2001, but the project was discontinued when its first test flight ended in a tragic accident. That's right: on September 11, 2001, Bulbasaur crashed into the stock market, causing the great depression that lead to the civil war :'( now to this very day, flying dinosarers are against the law.
#4 YOSHI
Tumblr media
YOSHI is a type of dinersaulophus called a "bird," which was actually the second attempt by early neanderthal alchemists to manufacture a street legal flying dinnersauran, but the New Zealand government realized if dinophlofbuses can fly, then bats would no longer be special, and since bats are New Zealand's only major export it would have been an economic disaster. The queen of Australia (New Zealand's largest city) ordered the CIA to sand all of the wings off of these early prototype birds. Every bird tragically went extinct when it looked down, noticed how high up it was and remembered it could not fly, activating the effects of Earth's gravitational field.
#3 ANOMALOCARIS
Tumblr media
ANOMALOCARIS was the dinosorcerous that discovered the first primitive cave painting of a modern day crab and invented carcinisation. All the other dinanders laughed at Anomalocaris for wanting to turn into a crab, but guess what??? Every single kind of dinosaur is dead but there's a crab still alive at 29, making it the oldest person in the world. Who's FUCKING laughing now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#2 EARL SINCLAIR
Tumblr media
This is the last known photograph of Earl Sinclair, seen here as an uncredited extra in "Avatar 3: Lost in New York." Earl Sinclair was a sindonaur species that could disguise itself as a human by putting on sunglasses, a necessary adaptation in order to hide from the largest predator dancasore to ever live: Mellisuga helenae. However, near the end of the coal age, M. Helenae finally remembered that sunglasses hadn't even been invented yet. Look carefully, and you'll notice nobody is wearing sunglasses at all in this scene, making Earl Sinclair stick out like a sore thumb! If you're still having difficulty, here's a zoomed in image of this majestic thunder lizard:
Tumblr media
Unfortunately......this wardrobe malfunction made Mr. Sinclair just as obvious to his ancient enemy, and the last Earl Sinclair's brains were sucked out on September 11, 2001, the darkest day in British history because he was the only one who knew the recipe to chicken mcnuggets (the only british food.) To this day all british people are extinct but you can still see their fossilized skeletons waiting in line at the department of motor vehicles.
#1 CONCAVENATOR
Tumblr media
Concavenator was an Early Cretaceous carcharodontosaurid up to six meters in length with an unusual pointed crest on its back.

It had been four months since I had seen Terry. There was little to no contact besides short phone conversations and quick texts. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss him. It was the little things that made it hard to forget him. The way he always smelled of sandalwood and musk. The way he held my hand when I was anxious. The way his smile lit up a room. The way every shirt he owned molded to his body like a glove. Ugh, I gotta stop.
I wanted nothing more than for him to return home to me, but pride got in the way. Not only for him but for me, too. We were equally as stubborn and stuck in our ways, unyielding to the love we shared. Being right somehow mattered more to each of usā€” more than a good morning kiss, a massage after a long day, the vows of our marriage.
Letting pride hinder our judgment, I told Terry to leave and not come back. Truthfully, I didn't want him to, I was just angry and tired of fighting. So, when he left without a fight, it reminded me too much of my abandonment trauma. Watching him walk out that door tore me apart. I was once again a five-year-old girl watching her father leave for the last time, never to return. The power Terry held over me in that moment was only a fraction of the hurt I felt. It was like the world around me shattered. With him, Terry took both light and love while I fell further into darkness more and more each day.
In other words, Terry and I couldn't comprehend that we could both be right even with two different perspectives. The basis of the problem as trifling as it seemed was an ugly nuanced one. Unfortunately, Terry was raised by his parents while I had to survive mine. This understanding is what caused the biggest fight we had ever had. No matter how much I explained it, Terry couldn't understand why I did things the way I did.
For context, I have had no contact with my family since I left home after college. I didn't talk to my sisters, brother, stepfather, and definitely not my mother. Terry's nurturing and supportive upbringing made him less receptive to the dysfunction that came with mine. He couldn't fathom not speaking to his family, let alone his mother, for years. So, when he brought up the idea of me reconnecting with them, it was a shock. The first time he asked I reminded him that I had my reasonsā€” he only knew some. The second time I admired his persistence but still declined the offer. However, after the fifth or sixth time, I was fed up. I wanted him to understand how much these people collectively hurt and drained me. After days of explaining and retelling the story, he responded with annoyanceā€” calling me childish and bitter.
Damn right, I was! I had taken care of every single one of them for years. I had put my health on the back burner to ensure they were good. I had stretched myself thin to the point of almost being hospitalized for a mental breakdown. No one other than my mom came, but we all know her true reason for comingā€” to save face. Considering she never believed or accepted my mental health issues, she just complained the whole time I was in the waiting room. This is the type of stuff I dealt with from them. This lack of care, kindness, appreciation, and love is why I left as soon as I was financially stable enough.
Even after talking about this for days, the only thing I was left with was a heavy heart and teary eyes. The more Terry pressed; the more distant I became. I didn't want it to get this far or this bad, but he wouldn't let it go. His mind was already made up. To him, family is family, and we should forgive them no matter what. Unfortunately, that wasn't and would never be my reality.
Present Day
ā€œCaramel cookie butter iced coffee and a regular hot coffee forā€¦ Fallon!ā€ yelled the barista from behind the counter. ā€œThat's me,ā€ I said, facing the small woman. ā€œHere you go. Enjoy,ā€ she said, smiling and pushing the drinks toward me. I checked the sticker on the regular coffee to see if they remembered the two sugars. I picked up both drinks and searched for an empty table in the back of the coffee shop. I knew this conversation would result in both of us or at least me ugly crying.
I slid into a booth in the far back corner of the shop, facing the door. I knew that if it became too overwhelming for me, seeing the door would provide a certain level of reliefā€” an exit or escape if needed. Immediately upon sitting, I began to remember some of the memories I and Terry shared here. This quickly became our favorite spot. Plus, it was right down the street from our shared home. Terry would come here almost every Monday and Friday morning to pick up my current favorite drink order. He called it a treat to start the week and a reward for finishing.
This is also the place where we had our first conversation about marriage. I can almost remember Terry's face when I told him I never thought about being marriedā€” until I met him. I didn't believe anyone could love me, especially a man of Terry's caliber. I felt like damaged goods that would never be good enough for him or anyone else. So, I never planned for that milestone. Terry's presence in my life felt like a reassuring message from God that I was loved and deserved itā€” properly.
Oh, God! Not me already crying, and he hasn't even made it. I quickly used one of the napkins to dab my eyes. Taking deep breaths and relaxing my shoulders, I tried my hardest not to get lost in my thoughts. I knew that once I let myself be sucked into that abysmal cycle I would be trapped there before even a word was spoken between us.
I leaned back into the booth, watching the door. Terry wasn't late; I was just extremely early. I needed to prepare myself as much as possible before seeing him.
10 minutes later
ding ding
ā€œGood morning! Welcome to the Coffee Cabin,ā€ yelled the woman from behind the counter. ā€œHey, good morning,ā€ said a familiar voice. I knew exactly who this was yet my heart refused to settle down. I didn't know how my mind and body would react to seeing him face-to-face for the first time in months. My hands were sweating profusely. How the fuck was I going to make it through this?
ā€œPumpkin?ā€ Terry said, sitting across from me. ā€œUh,ā€¦ Hi,ā€ I said struggling to breathe. ā€œHey, mama. Look at me. Fallon!ā€ Terry said, leaning over the table and lifting my chin. I looked up to see Terry glaring back at me. Those striking green eyes expressed his concern. His eyes spoke before his mouth could. There was no need to voice his worry.
ā€œTerry, please,ā€ I said, holding his hand. ā€œDon't do that. Just tell me what's wrong,ā€ he said pulling my hand to his lips. ā€œThis! What the hell are we doing right now? It's like we aren't even married. I don'tā€¦ā€ I rambled. ā€œPumpkin,ā€ Terry said, trying to stop me. ā€œWe aren't livingā€¦ā€ I continued. ā€œPumpkin,ā€ Terry said, gripping my hand. ā€œI don't know what to do with myself half the time. It'sā€¦,ā€ I said. ā€œPumpkin, enough! Stop!ā€ he cried out. I could sense his frustration with my rambling. I hadn't stopped talking since he sat down. ā€œTerry, I'm just tryingā€¦,ā€ I said trying to continue. ā€œNo. Stop it! This isn't how this was supposed to go. Letā€¦meā€¦talk,ā€ he grunted.
I pulled my hand away and placed it back into my lap. I dropped my head in embarrassment. I hadn't even made it one minute before making a fool of myself. ā€œListen, I love you. I know you are feeling anxious right now. We both have a lot to say, and that's okay. But before we can continue, I need you to relax, love. Okay?ā€ he said, caressing my cheek. I shook my head, looking back up at him. ā€œI'm sorry. This is hard,ā€ I said. ā€œI know, mama. I know,ā€ he said, wiping away a single fallen tear.
ā€œCā€™mere,ā€ he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me up from my seat. ā€œTerry, Iā€¦!ā€ I said, trying to pull away from him. ā€œNah, come to me, Pumpkin,ā€ he said while wrapping his arms around me. It was as if life itself had started again. Terry's embrace broke me in the gentlest way possible. His body swallowed mine, providing me with the comfort I had been craving for months. I missed this man and everything about him.
ā€œI'm sorry. Iā€¦,ā€ I said, sniffling into Terry's chest. ā€œShhh, stop apologizing. I don't need you to apologize. I need you to let meā€” let me love you, let me take care of you, let me come home,ā€ he said, tilting my chin up to meet his eyes. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips. I had never felt so much relief in my life. A single kiss had just washed away all the pain and guilt I had carried for these last four months.
ā€œI don't know what to say. I had all theseā€¦ theseā€¦ speeches planned in my head. Just for me to remember nothing,ā€ I said leaning further into Terry. ā€œThat's fine. Let me talk, you just listen. Turn your brain off for a minute and relax. Aight?ā€ he said, releasing me from his hold. His hands held onto the sides of my face. He was awaiting an answer, but words were escaping me. Too many thoughts were fighting to claim power over my tongue.
ā€œTurn it off, lilā€™ mama. Okay? Sit back down for me,ā€ he said, gesturing towards my seat. His hand waved back towards the booth as I slid back in. Terry sat back down in front of me. He reached for my hands and pulled them towards him. It's insane how something as simple as Terry holding my hands made me feel lighter and calmer. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. ā€œThere you go. Thank you, Pumpkin,ā€ he said while stroking the back of my hands.
ā€œListen to me, okay? I should have never pressed you so hard about what was going on. Your boundaries were clear. I can see that now and wish I could have seen that then. These last four months have been absolute hell in the most silent way possible. I let my perspective overshadow yours when this was your experienceā€” your reality, not mine. I won't sit here and lie to you like I'll ever understand how you feel. I won't. However, as your husband, it was my job to console youā€¦. andā€¦ and care for you. I failed you at that moment. I don't deserve your immediate forgiveness, and I will do whatever you ask to receive it. Iā€¦ uhā€¦ I left you to deal with all those emotions alone when it was my fault that you had to relive it in the first place. I was forcing you to see things my way because I thought I knew what was best for you based on myā€¦ my experience. You didn't deserve that. You deserved so much more than I gave you at that moment, and for that, I'm sorry. Sorry for how I handled the situation entirely. From this day forward, I promise to be a better man to youā€” a better husband. You deserve the world, mama. I love you more than life itself. Please, forgive me. Please,ā€ he pleaded.
By this point, I was sobbing. I didn't need to say a word. I jumped up from my seat and ran around to Terry's side. There was nothing I wanted more than himā€” all of him. I sat in his lap and held his face in my hands. ā€œOf course, I forgive you. I love you, too. I don't know what to say. Fuckā€¦ justā€¦ just kiss me already, papa,ā€ I said, looking into Terry's eyes. They were the softest they had been in a while.
Terryā€™s urge was just as strong as mine as he pulled me in to kiss him on the lips. But, I needed more; so I used my tongue to part his lips. Terry's mouth opened, and I could feel his energy shift. The desire in him ignited like a flame. The yearning was mutually shared. His hands roamed wildly as teeth met tongue. Neither one of us cared that we were in public. Sharing breath and body, we became one again. With passion burning in our bellies, Terry pulled away first. I looked at him to be met with a pained gaze filled with a desperate hunger for something else.
ā€œPumpkin, I think we should leave. Umā€¦ the thoughts that areā€¦ uhh, shitā€¦ Woman the things I want to do to you have no business being viewed by the public eye,ā€ he said, catching his breath. His chest rose and fell rapidly with every word. ā€œYeah?ā€ I asked, stroking his ear and swallowing hard. My breathing was equally just as harsh.
Terry's gaze lingered over my body. ā€œYeah, we need to leave. Now!ā€ he said, guiding me with his hands on my hips. ā€œDid you drive or walk?ā€ he asked, making me face him. ā€œWalked,ā€ I answered softly. ā€œOkay. I drove. Unfortunately for you, you gettinā€™ in a car with me, and I can't promise to keep my hands to myself. Honestly, we probably not makinā€™ it home,ā€ he said while leaning down to whisper in my ear. ā€œOh, fuckā€¦ Don't say stuff like that,ā€ I said, clenching my thighs together. ā€œYou wanted honesty, mama. Hell, we should put that extended cab to good use for once,ā€ Terry said, his lip curling up into the most sinful smirk. ā€œYou're nasty,ā€ I said, hitting him in the chest. ā€œYea, and? You love it!ā€ he said, pulling me into another kiss.

F1 Elementary | Teacher! Oscar Piastri x Teacher! Reader
summary: It's Halloween in Box elementary and Oscar decides it's a good idea to play secret admirer and finally make a move with one of the teachers.
pairings: teacher!oscar piastri x teacher!reader
a/n: Excuse any errors english isnā€™t my main language. This is based off Abbott Elementary. If it's in bold it's a confesional.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ā The bell rang loudly, filling the halls mixing with the loud voices of the kids that were heading towards their classrooms. The teachers patiently waited outside the door greeting every single kid that entered. The hallways were different from their day to day. Miss L/n had stayed all night up decorating the halls to make them spooky for halloween. People could probably say that she could be a little bit of an overdoer. Spiders webs, spiders, pumpkins, bats surrounded the hallways, clinging towards the halloween aesthetic scaring a few of the kids.Ā 
"Hi! I'm principal Norris. I still don't know how I ended up ruling this school but might I say I love it here. Iā€™m the literal king of this school, everyone does what I say, itā€™s like I direct them or something. Thereā€™s a lot of perks of working at Box elementary,Ā  Hot teachers, smart kids and the paycheck. Being a principal is the best, so I welcome you to my lovely kingdom. But enough about me, letā€™s talk about my untalented and ugly staff so you guys can see what I have to work with everyday. Look, there we have one of our annoying second grade teachers, Y/n. I'll leave you guys to it and let me say if you need more beauty shots, I'll be in my office" Lando said while tilting his crown down sending a kiss towards the camera. He turns to the left and the camera slowly follows him walking towards one of the students eating a lollipop. LandoĀ  quickly takes it out of her hand and eats it himself. He walks away leaving the kindergartener alone crying in the halls.Ā 
"Hello!! I'm Y/n L/n. But around here everyone calls me Miss L/n. I've been teaching second grade here for about four years now and honestly it's a blast. I love the kids, I love the school, I love my coworkers, I love the classes, I love my mood ...Sorry l am rambling but in my defense it's one of the best holidays of the year. Halloween!Ā  and this year is different because we got the opportunity to dress up. They also let me put the whole school in halloween decor. All the kids are so excited to wear their little costumes and eat candies. Thatā€™s why I had to step up my game. Guess what I am? No? Okay. Well Iā€™m a bumblebee cause people say Iā€™m sweet like honey and sometimes that is annoying, but thatā€™s nobody's buzzness. Did you get the joke? Did you understand?Ā  Because I am dressed as a bee? I know you got it, I see that smile on your lips, cameraman. Anyway, let me just get to the point, I teach second grade and around here we all love to have fun. Do you want a Frankenstein cupcake? I made them myself" She said with a huge grin stretching out her hand with a cupcake toward the cameramen while the kids in the background made cute cupcakes. Her face was covered in frosting and her costume was covered in glitter.Ā 
Oscar Piastri, smiled as he excitedly greeted his first graders, exclaiming proudly ā€œhappy halloween ā€ as they entered the classroom, HisĀ  Mark WebberĀ  costume intact. He watched as his little students entered the classroom all giggly while holding onto buckets filled with candies he had personally requested them to bring so they could exchange with their classmates. When the last student entered, his eyes trailed towards the end of the hall where he could see Y/n L/n handing her kids a lollipop while they entered. Oscar stared at her in aw, as she did a dance battle with one of the kids that was dressed as a hip hop dancer. Y/n stinger got caught on the door making her fall back as all the kids from her class ran up to her to help her up. She shook them off by saving countless thank youā€™s. Y/n threw her head back laughing at her kids following the action as Oscar stayed in his place being starstruck by her beauty. Oscar waited a few seconds to catch her eye and waved at her with a soft smile which Y/n happily returned. Being lost by the sudden interaction Oscar couldnā€™t feel the small child tugging on the side of his pants trying to get his attention.Ā 
ā€œMr. Oscar! You are staring at Miss L/n again. You said staring at people was rudeā€ The child exclaimed quite loudly making Oscar jump up and panick. He quickly crouched down to be at the same level as the kid.Ā 
ā€œAlex, what did we say about yelling?ā€ Oscar said softly, trying to push back his flushed face. Alex looked down towards his shoes shaking his head.Ā 
ā€œThat we shouldnā€™t do it. Iā€™m sorry Mr. Oscar. I was trying to get your attention because I needed to tell you something but you were looking at Miss L/n. I heard that in their class they are making cupcakes today. What are we going to do? Itā€™s Halloween we should do something funā€ Alex said, raising his head and grinning excitedly towards Oscar. Oscar mirrored his expression.Ā 
ā€œWell, I talked to Principal Norris and he said we could race cars outside. So after we exchange candies right after recess we can raceā€ Oscar said resting his hands on his shoulder grinning. Alex quickly squealed in excitement jumping up and down. Oscar followed his actions moving side to side. ā€œWait, what did you need to tell me that was so urgent?ā€ Oscar said quickly remembering what were his true intentions.Ā 
ā€œI actually donā€™t rememberā€ Alex said, making a thinking face.Ā 
"Mister Oscar!Ā  Jeremy is kicking me again" a kid screamed from inside the classroom making Oscar quickly enter the room to detain the fiasco before it got worse. Jeremy was quite the fighter and he didnā€™t feel like cleaning up blood today.Ā 
Oscar Piastri didn't expect to like being a teacher as much as he did but now after being aĀ  teacher for about a year, he was starting to get the hang of things. He enjoyed the kids' presence, they made things actually fun for him and the best thing, aside from the kids, was Y/n L/n. Having Y/n around made the teaching experience quite refreshing. She was around the same age as OscarĀ  but she had been teaching there for about four years just like her close friend and English teacher, Logan Sargent. Oscar had tried several times to get in their little group but it was quite hard for him to click with the teachers. It wasnā€™t that they were mean or anything, it was the fact that they didnā€™t take the rookie teacher seriously. Adding to the fact that Oscar wasnā€™t the best when getting social clues, for some people, it felt like they were talking to a child while they were talking to Oscarl.Ā 
ā€œMister Piastri, I wanted to inform you that the camera crew just got here today, so don't be surprised if they catch your fine ass. You look quite attractive with that, costume." Principal Norris said, peeking his head through the door. OscarĀ  turned around with a scared look on his face seeing Lando wiggle his eyebrows at him. Oscarā€™s hands dropped stopping the two kids that were originally fighting.Ā 
"Excuse me?" Oscar asked, raising an eyebrow at Lando making him wink at Oscar.Ā 
"I'm just playing but remember that they...Oh look they are here now! Here we have Mr. Oscar Piastri. He teaches first grade and he's been working here for about a year, yet he can barely get a hold of his class but we are working on it. So enjoy your time with him. The hottest teacher in the school. Bye" he exclaimed while he left Oscar standing agape in the hallway with a camera crew filming straight at him. Oscar quickly took his glasses off, cleaning them on his pants nervously while the kids screamed as loud as they could in the back of the class, the kids once again starting their fight.
ā€œFirst of all, I'm not the hottest teacher here, I'll leave that to Charles and second of all I have perfect control of my kids. Didnā€™t you guys catch on camera me stopping the fight? " Oscar exclaimed defensively while putting on his glasses and looking at the camera clearly stressed. His hair was now messy pointing to several directions as hisĀ  breath was unsteady.Ā 
"Mr. Oscarl! Help me, Jeremy is still pulling my hair now" a kid yelled from the back of the class quickly gaining Oscarā€™s attention. He quickly ran towards the back of the class and the camera crew quickly behind him. Oscar tried pulling Jeremy off one of the other kids but he wouldn't move.
"Jeremiah, let go!" Oscar said while falling desperately to get his attention.Ā 
"I'm not letting go Osc! She bit me with her stupid vampire teeth" Jeremiah yelled, still not letting go of his grip becoming stronger.Ā 
"First, I told you even though you are stronger than me to call me Mr. Oscar. Second of all, we said no bad words in the classroom and that included the word stupid.Ā  Now let's just try to be in a loving mood, it's Halloween, don't you guys want to be in a loving mood?!" Oscar asked desperately, trying to convince the kids to let go of each other. All the kids around them were unphased by the interaction, exchanging candies while the fiasco unfolds.
"NO!" Both of the kids exclaim pushing Oscar down towards the floor. He closed his eyes in pain waiting for a few seconds for the floor to eat him alive. He let out a sigh, dragging himself to one of the classroom doors praying that someone, beside Lando or Y/n, would help him out.Ā 
"How are you kids so strong?! Verstappen!Ā  Verstappen please, please help me. Verstappen I know you can see me" Oscar exclaimed as he gripped on the side of the door from the floor. He reached forward holding his leg desperately not wanting him to move. Verstappen stopped dead in his tracks staring down at Oscar with pity. His eyes were nearly covered in tears as he begged him to come and help. Verstappen looked towards the break room as he turned his back from it, taking a step into the classroom but not before quickly rolling his eyes at Oscar. Instantly the kids stopped fighting while the ones that were exchanging candiesĀ  sat down hiding their sweets.
"How?" Oscar mouthed to the camera while watching the kids stay like statues with Verstappen.
"I'mĀ  Max Verstappen. Please do not associate me with the principal or I will call the authorities against you. If it were my decision, I would have been principal and I would have said no to this little filming festival you have going around here. But since l am not principal, I have to answer your dumb questions.Ā  I am the other second grade teacher here at Box elementary. The only person I don't get annoyed at in this school is possibly Oscar. He isn't the worst teacher in the world but he isn't the greatest. Kids here can be little shits but I have them under control. Oscar on the other hand doesn't. He lacks control and I truly believe he's one of the kids."Ā  Verstappen said to the camera while moving to the side to let into view a giggling Oscar Piastri exchanging his candiesĀ  with his students excitedly.
Meanwhile, Logan and CarlosĀ  walked together to the break lounge ready to eat their lunch and enjoy their break. Both of them worked on the second floor with the middle school kids and they were exhausted.
"Good evening, I'm Logan and I teach seventh grade english. I've been in this school for four years and quite frankly still don't know why I've stayed so long."
Carlos sat down taking his food out of his neatly prepared lunch box while Logan took his mug to serve himself some coffee. Both of them took in the wonderful peace and quiet that surrounded the break lounge, something that it always lacked. But the peace and quiet was interrupted by the door slamming open and a visually alarmed OscarĀ  coming through, Verstappen following behind shortly after.
"I'm so done with those little pieces of sh.. You"Ā  Oscar took a deep breath pointing at the cameramen. "Stop following me with those stupid cameras. You're making me seem like I'm a bad teacherā€ he said while his eyes twitched, making Logan hide a chuckle with a cough. He continued to drink his coffee attempting to calm himself.
"I don't think they're making you seem like a bad teacher, maybe you're just being oneā€ CarlosĀ  responded while taking a bite of his sandwich making LoganĀ  "cough" even louder.
"Carlos.Ā  I came to this school the same time Oscar Piastri did and it still surprises me that he is still here. There were fifty new teachers and surprisingly the only two left are Oscar PiastriĀ  and me, I thought he was going to be the first one to leave, yet here he is, still struggling and still not getting the hang of it" Carlos said to the camera while fixing the nonexistent wrinkles of his button up shirt.
"Well, I have you know I am a great teacher! My students say it to me all the time when I get emotional. I bet you donā€™t even cry with your students. My students and I had a Halloween party, something that didn't even cross your mind to have today. We exchanged candies, had a dance party and watched movies. They love me. I love them. And all you did was bore you kids to death today, I suppose. What did you do? Make them read" Oscar responded angrily while looking at the peaceful Carlos.Ā 
"Actually, yes. We read about the history behind witches. Something you can actually do to learn since you come to school to learn not to party. But I guess you didn't get the memo since all you did was go to frat parties in college" he said taking another bite of his sandwich.
"Jokes on you I wasn't even in a frat. But I just know your kids wanted lollipops and by the way I gave my kids lollipops and none of them threw them at each other so I believe that's progress" Oscar said proudly while looking in the fridge giving his back to the teachers letting them see the back part of his robes covered in lollipops.
"Congrats! You are getting better, Piastri. I am really proudā€ LoganĀ  applauded while placing his cup of coffee down.
ā€œBut I don't think you should get your kids hopes up with Halloween. You should show them the gory things that I showed mine today. Real, scary, halloween movies. When theyā€™ll get older they will thank you for teaching them how to survive a psycho. ā€ Verstappen responded while sitting next to Carlos.
"Aren't your kids seven?" Carlos asked, concerned, raising an eyebrow at Verstappen.
"And your point is, Carlos Jr.?" Verstappen asked while taking a sip of his black coffee.Ā 
ā€œI already told you, my name isn't Carlos Jr., it's just Carlos" he said seriously while glaring at the man.
"I will not stop spreading love in my classroom.I love Halloween and no one and I mean no oneĀ  loves Halloween more than me" Oscar exclaimed sitting down with his arms crossed.Ā 
"Hellooo fellow teachers!" Y/n exclaimed throwing flower petals in the air while entering the break room.Ā 
"I highly doubt it" Logan responded while looking at his best friend, dressed up in her vibrant yellow costume. She was holding onto a basket filled with sweets while her wings neatly placed on her back. Her hair wasn't styled as usual, instead it was pulled back in two braids with her antennas.
"Happy Halloween to you, and you, and you" She said, handing a beautifully devoted Halloween box to each of her coworkers.
Carlos smiled softly, Logan whispered a thanks and Verstappen rolled his eyes, but deep down he loved it. Y/n headed towards Oscar giving him a bigger box than the rest. Oscar blushed hard, taking in the gift in his hand while Y/n placed down her things.Ā 
"Thank you, Y/n. I appreciate it a lot" he said smiling softly but his smile got wider when she sat next to him.
"You're welcome Oscar! By the way, I love your red bull costume. I really like the redbull drink. A lot of my students dressed the same. It looks cute" she said, playing with the ends of Oscarā€™s long sleeve .Ā 
ā€œActually, Y/n. Oscarā€™s dressed as An...ā€ Verstappen started but quickly got cut off by Oscar slamming his hand against the table.Ā 
"Thank you, Y/n! I was trying really hard for that can look. I really like your bee costume. I know everyone was buzzing about itā€ he said excitedly while trying to hide hisĀ  blush. Y/n threw her head laughing hitting Oscarā€™s shoulder softly making Oscar blush more if it even was possible.Ā Ā 
"Thank you! I wanted to go all out today, I heard that the party was going to be the bomb.ā€ Y/n said winking towards Oscar which made him grin excitedly.Ā 
ā€œYou know about that?ā€ Oscar asked confusedly, while taking his food out of his bag.Ā 
ā€œYeah! My kids were telling me about some big plan you have after recess. I was so excited for the afternoon party I forgot to bring lunch" She smiled at her while opening a water bottle and looking down at her notes to fix anything that was incorrect for the party the school was throwing later today.
"Here, have my sandwich" Oscar exclaimed quickly, planting the sandwich next to her. She looked up from her paper shaking her head.
ā€œDon't worry about it Oscar. You should eat, I can wait until later.ā€ She responded by trying to hand it back at him but he shook his head.
"Have it, I'm not even hungry" Oscar said smiling softly while shrugging trying not to worry her.
"Thank you Oscar! I owe you one" Y/n said, taking a bite while Logan looked at the camera suspiciously while drinking his coffee.
"What? I'm not hungry. My stomach is filled with brownies, candies and cupcakes. Plus the cupcake I had this morning, if Y/nā€™s hungry I wouldn't mind giving her my food!! Or anyone not necessarily her, I give my food to everyone that wants it, look. Here have this kiwi" Oscar exclaimed while taking out the kiwi he was previously eating and handing it in to a kid that was passing by. The kid stared at Oscar weirdly before continuing walking.
"So,what are you guys doing tonight? Anything special planned in this spooky evening" Oscar asked, trying to change the subject while they all peacefully ate. Everyone stayed quiet but Oscar anxiously taped his finger on the round table making Carlos groan and speak up.
"Well, since you're being nosy, I rented out a movie theater to watch movies tonight with my girlfriendā€ Carlos responded, closing his book. Y/n squealed, turning to him with a smile. "It was so romantic. What did you get?" Carlos asked, directing himself to Y/n, but she simply shrugged.
ā€œThe kids gave me some beautifully made cupcakes, those that count?" She asked sitting next to him, Verstappen laughed making the two stare at him.
ā€œIt's sad that you want that to count," he said, taking another sip of his coffee.
ā€œDon't listen to Max, he's just jealous the kids didn't give him anything because they are scared of himā€ Carlos said, rolling his eyes as Y/n fixed her posture awkwardly.Ā 
"My kids love me, they know my second grade class is the superior one and they did get me sweets. I just don't like them" Verstappen responded, getting a bag of candy and throwing it on the table leaving Carlos in shock.
"Well, maybe you'll get something later, the night is still young" Oscar said suspiciously while looking at the camera with a smirk. As if it were by cue a delivery man opens the door holding a big strawberry bouquet.
ā€œDelivery for Y/n L/nā€ the delivery man said while reading the card. Y/n excitedly got up taking it in her hands and placing it down on the table picking the card to see from who it was. She quickly smiled at the delivery man saying thanks before he left. All the teachers looked at the bouquet waiting for her to say who it was from.
"Who is it from?" OscarĀ  asked while standing next to her with a huge grin on his face.
"It says spooky berries from a secret admirer, " she said, picking a strawberry and eating it.
Logan, Carlos and Verstappen stood outside in the hallways with the camera crew Filming them.
"It was Oscar" the trio said at the same time while rolling their eyes.
"This is beautiful! The person that got me this has to know me really well, I love chocolate covered strawberries. They are literally the best thing to ever exist on this planet"
" You see! I know her well!! I got her that gift and went all out! I'm proud of my hard work and the smile on her face is to die for. So ha! I win Halloween" Oscar exclaimed happily at the camera while grinning.
"Breaks over, I need my teachers in their classrooms so they can take the kids to that dumb party Y/nā€™s making" Lando said entering the lounge and getting himself some coffee.
"Nothing you can do will ruin my mood today, Lando. So I will take that as a compliment" She responded, taking a picture of the strawberries.
"You got yourself that gift? That's sad, even for you L/n" Lando responded while taking a sip of the drink.
"Actually, it was a secret admirer," she responded, not even looking at him.
"Oscar, it was Oscar" Lando said, looking at the camera in the hallway while taking a bite of a strawberry he had taken from Y/n's gift.
"Also how are you guys enjoying the reality show we have going on here?" Lando asked, winking at the camera.
"I feel watched and stalked" Verstappen responded seriously.
"I didn't ask you. Oscar?" Lando turned his head towards Oscar who started to pick up his things so he could head back to his classroom.Ā 
"This isn't a reality show Lando. it's a documentary for schools with poor funding so I don't think we should be proud of thatā€ he said while standing up and putting his tote bag on his shoulder.Ā 
"You know what I'm not proud of, the fact I haven't received my Valentine's Day gift yet" Lando said only for him to hear. Oscar shivers while looking at him with the same expression as before. "Now everyone chop chop. We don't have all day" he continued while applauding obnoxiously.
Everyone started leaving the teachers lounge leaving Oscar to himself to open the box Y/n had given him, he slowly opened the box and opened his eyes wide when he saw the gift.
"Oh, I've known about Oscars' crush ever since he started working here. But I love seeing the reactions he does when he thinks I don't know a thing about the little gestures he does for me. That's why I decided that I should give something back" Y/n said smiling to the camera holding the gift she had received from him. In the background you could see Oscar dancing excitedly and when Y/n turned around to look at him, he froze waving at her trying to act cool which Y/n responded with a smile while quickly turning to her classroom.
Oscar looked at his kids jumping up and down at the party and he smiled. He looked at the camera men and then down at his hands.
"I'm going on a date today" He said screaming while joining his kids in a dance battle.
Logan looked at Oscar and then at his best friend from the other side of the school gym and smiled softly at her.
"You asked him out, didn't you?" Logan asked, looking at Y/n.
"Yes, I think heā€™s cute." She responded while looking at the dancing Oscar. Both of them looked at how Oscar huddled up with the kids pushing a car to make the kids star driving. A few seconds in, a kid ā€œrunsā€™ over another ones leg making them cry.
ā€œI though he meant toy cars?! Seven year olds donā€™t have diverse licenseā€Ā Ā

what annoys me about posts on the novel frankenstein in this site (besides the blatant ableism towards victor frankenstein from people who swear they "care" about disabled people) is the amount of readers that forget that the bride, had victor truly put her to life, would in fact have the same amount of autonomy & free will as the Creature does.
i talked about this in some reblog before but really it is incredibly annoying, seeing people who claim to be feminists and advocating for the rights of women saying that oh! victor should've just not given her ovaries/not given the Creature a cock and so that would fix everything! so they shan't be able to reproduce an dmake evil moster children! just in response to this one thing in that chapter:
"one of the first results of those sympathies for which the dƦmon thirsted would be children, and a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror."
it is true that victor worries about them reproducing, but how did they miss these lines from the first paragraph of the chapter?:
Ā "He had sworn to quit the neighbourhood of man, and hide himself in deserts; but she had not; and she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation. They might even hate each other; the creature who already lived loathed his own deformity, and might he not conceive a greater abhorrence for it when it came before his eyes in the female form? She also might turn with disgust from him to the superior beauty of man; she might quit him, and he be again alone, exasperated by the fresh provocation of being deserted by one of his own species."
it's literally longer, reader can't have somehow accidently missed it? frankenstein thinks of her free will, that is so much more important. he worries of her consent in the matter. it is in my belief by ignoring this you are ignoring the voice of mary shelly, daughter of a world known feminist, who is against arranged maariages of which this situation very closely resembles.
even if we ignore the fact that people somehow managed to not read a significant amount of the text, why do people belive the victor owes the creature a wife? do you think men are owed wives? that women, without a say in what they want to do, must become a wife to some random man just because he wants her to?
people here woobify the creature so much that they literally act extremely ableist and anti-feminist on accident. i am not saying the creatture is pure evil and victor is pure good, i am very against black and white readings, but is this not common sense? and honestly, the way the creature speaks about the bride is gross anyways. here are two examples:
"one as deformed and horrible as myself [would not deny herself to me]" & "(ā€¦) of the same species and have the same /defects/".
is that not odd? how the creature Wants her to be miserable and ugly so she has no other choice but to be with him?
not to mention how the bride parallels elizabeth and the relationship between her and the creature would've probably parallels the relationship of alphonse and caroline frankenstein, how the creature would've (accidentally?) groomed her and how pedophillic it kind of is if you really think about it. but that's a whole different can of worms
i know you guys love adam and hes interesting but jesus fucking christ

AITA for making a joke about my sex life to a student? šŸ˜šŸ“ Nsfw text obv i know the title sounds bad but please read everything
I (Transmasc, 25) work on a school, very open as being gay, pride pins and it all, not as a teacher but I take care of computers, textbooks and the library. The younger folk seem to like me, but it's in high school folks things get ugly. Most just don't care about me, which I can't judge, being a teen sucks. Some hate me for telling them to go back to class. The ones that like me (mostly queer/autistic folk) like me for real.
There's this one boy (he's either 16 or 17 so he's NOT a kid) that always makes fun of me, is always skipping classes, is mean to everyone, implied a old teacher she should be better off dead, bothers everyone, talk loudly and complains about everything on his sight.
And he is. Very bigoted. I saw him more than once hurting the girls he studies with (slapping/punching) and caling the whores and more, telling them to suck him off, ride his dick, gag on his cock, etc, saying very hurtful things on gay men/anyone he deemed gay, and principal can only call his parents so many times before the parents stop showing and taking the concerns seriously. This is an ongoing issue since 6th grade, as far as I know. He hates my guts since I've called the principal on him more than once for going off on me telling me to fuck myself for asking him to go back to class.
My main strategy with him is ignoring him and the second one is answering as I don't understand him. Perks of being autistic I guess, being able to do this with a straight face. So: he calls me a chicken, I tell him they're my favorite farm animal, how did he guess? They're so amazing and cute. He tells me the lunch is gross, I say they can buy their lunch to bring if they want to, school food isn't that good (not true, the school food is amazing. Most students eat more than one plate). The computers are too slow, I ask him to please be patient cause they're old men that don't like to work, be nice to them :(. Guy says that the classes sucks, I tell him that the complaint box is at (governor's address) but yea they suck but at least he has only one year left.
This is where I might be the asshole, because I hurt myself going up and down a chair to organize some textbooks and I already have severe hip/knee pain so this only made me hurt worse so I am already pretty grumpy. A teacher asks for a banner of a periodic table and I have to find the table and go up a chair to hang it, and in the process, I let out a moan of pain becaude my knees dream of my downfall, and the teacher asks me if I am okay, so I tell yea, my hips and knees just hurt like a bitch. And this one student tells me "why, are you beaten up from taking cock in your ass?" And I breath deeply and answer "If it was from fucking I would be damn happy, but it's only from working. Anyways teacher here you go (with the periodic table)" and the teacher looks me with a surprised expression and all the class is silent and uncomfortable so I just left. Now the student can't look in my eyes but at least they're not talking to me anymore and the teacher hasn't said anything. AITA?
What are these acronyms?

When You Bare Your Teeth It Almost Looks like a Smile
Pairing: Astarion x Female!Tav (not described)
Astarionā€™s POV
SFW/Fluff/Angst (seriously thereā€™s no sā‚¬x here)
Summary: Set in Act 2 when the group begins scouring Moonrise Towers and Astarion and Tav encounter Araj Oblodra, the Drow blood merchant. She wonā€™t take no for an answer, and learns why that is a very very stupid thing to do.
~3.2 K words
Bit of a deviation from the canon interactions/dialogue and what the outcome is because ummm little guard dog with her love that most certainly does doesnā€™t need one is a trope I LOVE and needed to vomit out a lil flash fic at 1 AM last night to perform catharsis help I also kind of made myself sad
I may get this posted on my AO3?
I also will post the next part of Turn My Heart to a Spade soon!!!
ā€œOh, but Iā€™d prefer if you did.ā€
The sneering Drowā€™s reply to his assurances that he would not bite anyone doesnā€™t quite register for Astarion before she lets slip another gut-reeling string of words, this time directed at you.
ā€œI assume he belongs to you? Judging by the way heā€™s clung to your shadow since you walked upā€¦ā€ her laugh is mirthful, the metallic smear of red around the blue-grey skin of her eyelids crinkling and cracking in her amusement. ā€œItā€™s a truly remarkable boon, to have had a spawn at your beck and call during your trek through the Shadow-cursed lands. Iā€™d be remiss and dishonest to say Iā€™m not jealous.ā€
His pale brows furrow as an unfamiliar emotion hits him. Maybe unfamiliar isnā€™t right, but heā€™s been so long separated from it that encountering it again feels like meeting a stranger heā€™s all too wary of.
Much like how he felt when he met you.
Kind, generous, trusting, infuriating you.
Oh, how he loathed being proven wrong. Having his tried and true skills of determining who people are and what they want sidestepped, hisā€”sometimes hastily drawnā€”conclusions about things tipped on their heads like a cat swiping a cup off a table. Mostly by you. Endearingly and maddeningly.
For Godsā€™ sakes, he is supposed to be the unpredictable, unreadable, unflappable one. Itā€™s his armour. His sodding lifeline. When one is in control of their faculties and has only themselves to rely on, their ability to save themselves is entirely up to their skills, or lack thereof.
But you, you whose only purpose was to take a fall or stab (sometimes literally) for him, has somehow managed to get him to willingly hand over the one thing that could kill him.
His trust.
It had kept him from trancing, some nights, gnawing the inside of his lip to shreds while going over every possible scenario in which his trust could be wielded against him.
Yet thus far, youā€™d not only permitted, but encouraged him to hold the other metaphorical end of it.
Both in battle, and in his bedroll.
He wonders most days if you know. If youā€™ve caught onto what heā€™s now realized was a very poorly conceived ploy. He has to tell you, at some point.
Thereā€™d been a humbling, blind fierceness in every fiber of your being when you last drew your weapon for himā€”looking up at the devil Yugir as if he didnā€™t have his crossbow bolt aimed right between your glaring brows. You swung and hacked and sliced like it was your soul you were fighting for, not his.
Youā€™d done more than received his trust, youā€™d earned the right to hold it.
And here he is, silently watching, pleading, mentally tugging on the other end like a child grasping at their motherā€™s shirtā€”hoping you feel it.
ā€œHe has a name,ā€ your voice appears as even as ever to the average onlooker, and certainly to this Drow; but thereā€™s a strain, a warning that Astarion can detect that, to him, feels like the gentlest tug back from your end on the rope.
ā€œIs that so? How quaint,ā€ the Drow tilts her head. Turning her attention back to him, she appraises him from his boots up to his curls with a gaze that makes that strange, ugly feeling swell again. ā€œDo indulge me then, what are you called, spawn?ā€
ā€œAstarionā€”but-hold onā€”ā€œ
ā€œWell, Astarion,ā€ the way her tongue flicks over every syllable of his name puts a crinkle of disgust on the slope of his nose. So unlike how you say it. Usually uttered, quick and delicate, the ā€˜Ahā€™ nearly clipped offā€”shortening it to ā€˜Starion. Familiar and sweet and warm. ā€œIā€™ve dreamt of being bitten by a vampire since I was a young girl.ā€
His disbelief manifests in the way he stutters over his words, managing to compose himself into a semblance of his normal character by the end of his reply. ā€œYouā€”What? Iā€™m sorry, Youā€”you want to be bitten?ā€
ā€œTo feel your lifeā€™s blood slipping away? To dance between the edge of life and death? Yes, I want it.ā€
Though heā€™s already decided that this woman is, in fact, a stem short of a brain, the arrangement she proposes catches his attention. And not in any way thatā€™s enticing. A likely dangerous and potentially faulty potion in exchange for drinking her blood is a shoddy deal at best, and a revolting one at worst. Her blood smells foul. Acrid. He canā€™t pinpoint exactly what it is, which only worries him more. Not a sort of sickly sweet smell of decay like Galeā€™s. Nor is it twinged with something medicinal like Halsinā€™s, or like the pleasant muddle of Shadowheartā€™s half-elven and half-human blood. And certainly not like yours.
Putting on all the politeness he can muster, which is already more than the Drow deserves, he replies.
ā€œI will have toā€¦erm, decline.ā€
ā€œExcuse me?ā€ The Drow scoffs, displeasure creasing the space between her brows. ā€œThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and youā€™re squandering it.ā€
ā€œI gave you my answer,ā€ he shocks himself with the lack of grace he speaks with, voice lowered and snarling. He used to be so good at evading people like her. What the Hells has gotten into him?
Tutting, the Drow turns back to you. ā€œCan you talk some sense into your obstinate charge?ā€ Addressing you like heā€™s not in the room, with scant more respect for you than she had for him.
Proving the Drowā€™s earlier observation rightā€”as loyal as a bloody muttā€”he looks to you, anxiety tightening the muscles over his stomach. The scenarios begin to churn in his mind, the worst among them not even that of you asking him to bite her to get the potionā€”but instead acquiescing his wants in front of the Drow only to reprimand or even punish him in some way later.
They come to a hilt as both he and the Drow await your move, holding his breath.
Then, you do something that manages to stun, relieve, and thrill him all at once.
You smile.
Though a half of a head shorter than him, and barely a few inches taller than the Drow, your presence seems to swell to intimidating heights among the three of you.
ā€œMy, you are slow on the uptake, Ms. Araj,ā€ you speak with a lowered, gentle voice, one which commands the both of them to listen carefullyā€”maybe even get closer, though at this point the Drow would have to have a death wish to get within stabbing distance of you. How dreadful, and disappointing, to Astarion; that the ominous and certain threat in your voice still yet seems to fly over the Drowā€™s head.
And how entertaining it will surely be to watch her pomp crumble in a few moments.
ā€œMy dear companion deigned to give you his name and answer, twice. I would pity the other acolytes and pilgrims hereā€”if I cared for their livesā€”for the mere cruelty it is to converse with you in any capacity.ā€
Dear companion? Now this is new. And notā€¦entirely unpleasant.
ā€œIā€™mā€”sorry, Iā€”ā€œ the Drowā€™s poise wavers, though outrage still lines the edges of her voice.
ā€œYou will be sorry, if you do not shut your Godsdamned mouth while I speak,ā€ you let the full fury of your voice be felt, though you have yet to raise it past what can be heard within five paces of the Blood Merchant.
As a meager credit to the Drowā€™s intelligence, she does snap her jaw shut. Astarionā€™s lips curl all the higher with each passing second.
ā€œAs I was sayingā€”though I do not pity the acolytes here for the ordeal it must be to give you some form of station here, I think I have reason enough to remove you from it. For how you have treated myā€”for how you have treated Astarion,ā€ your smile beams brighter, not a crease beneath your eyes to suggest youā€™re anything but seething. He realizes, in a way, youā€™re baring your teeth for him. The near possessive slip seems to loosen the anxiety in his frame, slightly. But your self-correction helps more.
ā€œYou may be a True Soul, but you donā€™t have any authority toā€”ā€œ the Drowā€™s lips suddenly quiver shut again, but clearly not of her own doing. Astarion glances at you and his own tadpole wriggles as he feels yours come to life.
ā€œI should have been more specific,ā€ you sigh, your tadpole holding the Drow rigid. Brushing past him, you beckon with your finger as you move towards the balconyā€™s doorway across the room. The Drow begins to follow, feet shuffling awkwardly as the fear wells in her eyes. Heā€™s not used to feeling planted to the floor, but for a moment he can only watch in gleeful disbelief at what youā€™re doing. He picks up his feet at the Drow crosses the threshold and slips out to the balcony with the two of you.
ā€œWhen I said I had reason enough to remove you from your station, I meant that in less of a bureaucratic senseā€”I mean literally remove you from it,ā€ you continue to hold the conversation calmly, one-sidedly, as you turn back to look at the Drow from the stacked-stone guardrail. You point and snap your fingers, gesturing to the one spot on this balcony where the stones have broken off and fallen down to the inky, boulder filled shallows at the bottom of the tower. The Drow moves even more resistantly as the psionic force from your tadpole urges her to obey, but eventually she stands at its edge.
ā€œTell me, Araj, would you like the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feel what itā€™s like to fly? All you have to doā€”ā€œ you lay a hand upon her back, just between her shoulder blades, giving her the slightest nudge. ā€œIs step off.ā€
Astarion hears a strange, strained sounding humming, and realizes itā€™s the Drow trying to plead behind sealed lips.
ā€œOhā€”but itā€™s a simple exchange, really! And Iā€™m a woman of my word. You step off, and I cast ā€˜Flyā€™ upon you. The only risk is if you fall too quickly, wellā€”then my spell wonā€™t reach you in timeā€¦and Iā€™ve only seen it happen once before, but to fall from this height? Your body would pop like a champagne bottle thrown to the floor. Skin and muscle and bone will split, and all your warm guts and blood will burst and spray everywhere. What do you say? In my mind, itā€™d be plain idiotic to squander an opportunity like this.ā€
You turn back, meeting Astarionā€™s eye. Within yours, he can see a volatile mix ready to explode. Wrath. Outrage. A cruel hunger for revenge.
But even with those powerful emotions threatening to overtake you, thereā€™s a tenuous thread of patience still wavering. Patience, and a question: that which asks for his permission. To not merely act or speak on his behalf, but decide whether or not to take this womanā€™s life for the affronts to his dignity and autonomy.
Indignation. Righteous indignation.
That is the feeling thatā€™s been gnawing at him, the words for which he couldnā€™t recall until now. And itā€™s all because of you. Because youā€™ve refused to let him think of himself, talk about himself, treat himself, like a loaner to his own body and mind. Stepping off the wall, he approaches the two of you with a swagger.
First taking hold of a strap on the Drowā€™s armor, he then plants a steady foot on a piece of the stone guardrail to hold himself upright. Looking to you with a reassuring smirk, you step back, and with a rough shove Astarion sends the Drowā€™s upper half forward, dangling her precariously over the edge of the balcony. He lets her moan and protest wildly behind her teeth for a moment longer before nodding to you, and you release her from the hold of the tadpole. She takes a ragged gasp, as if preparing to scream, and he leans in to her ear.
ā€œNow now, Araj, letā€™s not arouse any undesirable attention from the guards, hm?ā€
Stifling a groan of fear, her arms unsteadily pinwheel in the air as her feet try to find solid stone, and not the edge which Astarion has forced her onto.
ā€œI think Iā€™m feeling generous, so close to the overwhelming splendor of the Absoluteā€”ā€œ he mocks the name of the so-called deity that had proven itself a thorn in their groupā€™s side thus far. ā€œWhom, need I mention, blessed and deemed me a True Soul, just like my dear companion.ā€
Throwing a conspiratorial smile your way, it deflates only slightly to see your face set so tightly, all but trembling in anger. Not at him, of course. With a sigh, he tuts and yanks the Drow from the edge, throwing her to the stone floor of the balcony further in. She scrambles back from the both of you. Following her towards the door with unhurried steps, he tilts his head in the same mocking way she had before addressing her once more. ā€œThe next time someone tells you ā€˜noā€™, Drow, I suggest you not argue. You might not be so lucky next time.ā€
ā€”
The two of you eventually reconvene with the remainder of your group, and after determining your next move you all settle within an abandoned wing of the tower for the night.
Neither of you relay what happened to the rest of your companionsā€”and in turn donā€™t find an easy opportunity to address it with each other, until the others have gone to bed.
He finds you hunched over your pack, inventorying your potions yet againā€”worrying and fidgeting his hands and fingers as he approaches.
ā€œI think weā€™ll come across more, weā€™ve not unlocked every door in this bloody tower,ā€ he offersā€”sounding uncharacteristically optimistic. It betrays just how uncertain and uncomfortable he feels about what heā€™s actually come over to say to you.
ā€œAh, I know. Just a bit paranoid since we got here. We had our asses kicked out in Reithwin, then again when we took care of Raphaelā€™s dirty laundryā€”and to walk in to that whole spectacle with Thorm? Gods aboveā€”ā€œ you huff, coaxing a genuine smile to Astarionā€™s face. Finally you turn, rising from your crouched position with a tired, lopsided grin. It falters as you take in his expression, and Astarion worries heā€™ll collapse in on himself if you look at him for a moment longer like you currently are.
Like youā€™re concerned about him. Which you are. Like you care for him. Which you do.
Like you love him.
ā€œEverything alright, ā€˜Starion?ā€
ā€œOhā€”yes, of course Iā€™m fine-ā€œ he stumbles over every word, his charming, easy, impervious shell cracking. ā€œItā€™s just thatā€¦I feelā€”awful.ā€
You push aside your own exhaustion, giving him your full attentionā€”of course you do. You ask him why. Heā€™d almost rather pull his own fangs out than confess what heā€™s about to. But as you listen, as you take in everything he hurries and tries to explain or make excuses for, your expression does not change. Not for the worse, anyway. Those same shining, gentle eyes hold his, and make his undead heart swell. He makes sure to express his gratitude, for how you stood up to the Drowā€”but even more so for letting him decide.
ā€œWellā€”yeah,ā€ you sheepishly look down at your feet, scrubbing at the back of your hair. He almost canā€™t take it, how wonderful you are. ā€œI wasnā€™t going to rob you of that satisfaction,ā€ you joke. Sighing, you meet his eye again. ā€œI was ready to kill her, Astarion. You know I was. But thenā€¦ I wouldnā€™t have done anything for you. Not really. Whoā€™dā€™ve been empowered if Iā€™d done it? Definitely not you. So, sorry for almost doing that. I wasā€¦well, I was fucking pissed.ā€
Heā€™s not sure if he can recall how to breathe. How could you be apologetic right now, when you were ready to defend him like some knight in shining armor? He came here to apologize to you, not the other way around.
ā€œHells, darling, I might find an opportunity to make you a villain yet,ā€ he offers you a small smile, voice soft.
You reciprocate, your cheeks dusted with a blush illuminated by the few candles lit outside your tent.
ā€œSo, umā€¦what you saidā€”about forcing yourself through-does that mean ourā€”erm,ā€ you try to be so cordial, so empathetic, even though pain seeps from every pore at the implication of what he said.
ā€œNoā€”no, darling,ā€ he rushes out, taking a breath. ā€œBeingā€¦close to someone, it justā€¦it was always something I did, had to do, to lure people backā€”for him. Iā€”want us to be different. I know we are. But intimacy feelsā€¦ā€ he struggles to articulate it, feeling your eyes on him even as his own flit around the shadows of the room. ā€œā€¦tainted. I justā€¦donā€™t know how else to be with someone, no matter how much Iā€™d like to.ā€
ā€œI care about you, Astarion,ā€ you murmur after a heavy pause, and he manages to find your eyes again.
ā€œReally?ā€ He asks, throat filled with a bubble of emotion that threatens to burst.
And where words failing him and the inability to wield his body would normally make him feel completely hollowā€”a useless husk of a manā€”the embrace your arms suddenly surround him in makes him seemā€¦whole. Solid.
And unfortunately, capable of dragging him down to the depths of sadness and pain with how heavy he now feels.
However, your arms around him remind him that youā€™re there with him. That you will be there with him no matter what, Gods and Devils and Mindflayers be damned.
Astarion remembers how to use his own as realizes theyā€™ve been merely hovering, outstretched, and hugs you back. You tighten around him, sighing into his shirt.
He closes his eyes, nuzzling his face into your hair, into the crook of your neckā€”looking for those places heā€™d be happily cradled in for the rest of his thus-far miserable life.
When you eventually pull backā€”Astarionā€™s hands linger at your waist, his fingers almost curling around your shirt to tug you back in.
ā€œYouā€™reā€”um-full of surprises,ā€ he musters a shaky smile, which you reciprocate, warmly.
ā€œI am yours until you tire of me, Astarion,ā€ you offer half-jokingly, the gravity of which does not go amiss in his mind.
ā€œWell, unfortunately for you, I donā€™t sleepā€”so donā€™t get your hopes up for being rid of me, darling.ā€
Your eyes crease, nearly obscuring your irises as you smile.
ā€œI love you, Astarion,ā€ the words are carried from your lips on a breath as it slips outā€”falling tenderly as a kiss to his ears and piercing as true as an arrow through his heart.
You can tell as much, stepping forward into his arms once more to squeeze his hand and reassure him. ā€œYouā€”you donā€™t have to say it back. I just wantā€”need you to know that. In the event we die tomorrow or something. Very real possibility, given our dwindling potions.ā€
ā€œOh. Well. If weā€™re telling each other things we need to know, I suppose I should tell you how Iā€™ve been building a stash of potions Iā€™ve ermā€¦borrowed from you, then. You know, clearing guilty consciences and all,ā€ he counters, squeezing your hand back. ā€œIā€™ll share them with youā€”as a last resortā€”of course.ā€ You snort, and then fall into a fit of giggles that heā€™s dragged into all too easily.
After a considerable effort and a number of failed attempts to stop laughing, a sharp ā€˜Tskā€™vaā€™ uttered from Laeā€™zelā€™s tent nearby finally manages to silence you both as you slip into his tent, you staying awake only long enough for him to clear the bedroll of clutter and shake the blankets out.
As you settle your cheek on his chest, snuggled up to his side, his lips press idle kisses to your forehead and hair, desiring to commit your smell, warmth, and weight in his arms to memory.
He eventually slips into a tranceā€”for once, one not filled with crimson eyes and shadows and deathā€”but your sweet smile, laugh, and the way those three words he once longed to forget sound in your voice.

heyyy tumblr,
class of 2024 law student here. no offense but you know things are bad when i take it to tumblr. law school really does something to your psyche and i hate to say it but despite this whole movement on social media to be more transparent, i don't believe anyone will be completely honest about their experience when their words can be traced back to them. being believable as 100% genuine & honest while being anything less than to followers that cling to every syllable of yours does more damage than good imo.
ill start this page with some honesty that i would label as a 6/10 on the "how embarrassed would i be if someone from my post-grad job were to see this" scale i just made up.
my first semester i felt like the smartest version of myself i had ever been because i got 1 online award from a fake company (seriously what business does this "computer-assisted legal education" company have hosting awards for schools around the country & why are they receiving our grades to begin with) for having the highest grade in my class. mind you, this company/award is not at ALL affiliated with my school, its literally made up. but its something that is made PUBLIC (as in if you knew my name you could google me and this stupid award shows up), and so many schools still acknowledge it to, idk, create further divisions between students that i guess the whole system of making everyones grades 100% based on their finals and curved (not in a good way) doesn't do enough for?
now here i am, having finished my 6th semester & walked the commencement stage a few days ago ugly crying over a grade because i might have just lost my honors status. when in actuality .... ~ kim, there are people that are dying ~ why does any of this matter?? this is what 6 semesters of slowly having your confidence in your own intelligence chipped away at does to a person.
its not over yet though - bar prep starts last week :). actually it starts on may 20th officially, but no ones being honest about the fact that they really started studying the day after their finals ended, if not earlier.
so i've decided to document my experience for you all here. with bar prep & my foray into big law (you know this field was meant for babies because that's what we unsarcastically call a career at a top law firm) on the horizon, & 6 semesters of pure chaos behind me, i have a lot to say!
im not sure who this is going to reach because, again no offense tumblr, but i doubt this site has the reach it once did. maybe this will just end up being a time capsule for myself, which i would love. or maybe this will help 1 person cope, which i would love even more.
regardless, if you read this far, thank you & tttys. going to throw some random hashtags in now don't mind me.

Makarov X Price Daughter pt.2
Pt 1 pt.3
You woke up with the worst headache of your life. Did you drink too much yesterday? You didn't remember drinking at all, only meeting the most handsome man you ever saw in your life who was interested in you and charming. When you slowly shifted in bed, you felt some difference. Your bed felt more comfortable and not so small anymore. It wasn't your usual twin-sized bed; it was a king-sized bed and very comfortable. Did you go to his place yesterday and forget?
You opened your eyes and gasped. This was definitely not your home. The room you stayed in was gigantic. The bed sheets were made of satin, and not the poor ones, but expensive satin, and they were pink. The whole room was to your aesthetic. Were you dreaming? You must have. You wiggled your legs away from the satin sheets, noticing the pajamas you wore. You didn't remember buying this. Just a dream.
As you jumped out of the comfortable bed, the dream turned into a nightmare. There were four military men pointing guns at you. "ŠšŃƒŠ“Š°, ŠæŠ¾-Š²Š°ŃˆŠµŠ¼Ńƒ, Š²Ń‹ Š½Š°ŠæрŠ°Š²Š»ŃŠµŃ‚ŠµŃŃŒ?"
Russian. Your mysterious bachelor from yesterday was Russian too, but it couldn't be. He was so nice. You whined as you replied, tears streaming down from your face onto your soft cheeks. "Sir, I don't understand Russian."
They rolled their eyes at you and chuckled. They didn't speak with you, only gesturing for you to sit down and point their guns at you, and you obeyed. You remembered how your dad always told Tina, If someone points a gun at you, listen. He never told you anything about how to save your life in these kinds of situations. It is ironic to think that you were in this situation. You asked your dad once if he'd teach you how to shoot a gun, but he said things like that wouldn't be for girls like you, more for girls like Tina.
After sitting in the same spot for an hour, Vlad really entered the door. "Princess, were my guards too ruthless, or why do you cry?"
You couldn't believe how naive you were. Of course, a man like him had ulterior motives when he flirted with you. "Why are your guards pointing a gun at me?"
"Oh, Princess, are you scared?"
You only nodded and gasped when his reaction to your nod was to shoot one of his guards in the head. The blood splattered on the remaining two guards and on the soft white carpet. You were horrified. You had never seen someone get killed in front of you, and you were scared out of your life. He killed his own man without any remorse.
"Sorry, Princess, about the mess, but you don't need to be scared. I'll always protect you," he said with a sinister smile as if he really thought he was my protector, but he wasn't. He was a psychopath.
"Why am I here?"
"You know your dad pissed me off, and I wanted to teach him a lesson, but I'm a man of resources, and your ass is worth enough not to be killed. Besides, I'd like to see John Price begging to spare your life."
You didn't know why, but you laughed. You got kidnapped for your dad, who didn't even make time to come to your birthday, as if he had time to save you from Vlad. "I think you got the wrong daughter for that. That will be my death, and my father won't care enough to save the biggest disappointment in his life."
"Oh, Princess, I know that you think your daddy hates you and loves your ugly little sister, but want to know a secret?" He grinned, his eyes darkening.
You only nodded. You thought you didn't want to know, but you would agree with everything. Vlad didn't seem like the guy to tolerate your sassiness.
"Tina isn't his."
"What?"
"Yes, your annoying stepmom cheated."
"My life is a joke."
He screamed at you, "I don't tolerate negativity towards yourself. Did I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Vlad."
"Good girl," he purred, nipping at your neck. He wasn't someone who showed care or ever felt affection before, but he was always possessive, never sharing, not even as a kid. So, this was his way to go: marking your neck, showering you with gifts, and showing everyone touching you would get them killedā€”and not in a merciful way. He didn't know why or what spell you put him under, but you occupied his mind. He was almost close to killing you for it, but he had better things in mindā€”more selfish things for you. "You know, my princess, I have big plans for you."
"It's beautiful," you said flatly, not wanting to satisfy him to much.
He grabbed your wrist roughly and walked you to a second room, a walk-in closet. How rich was this guy? There was everything you could have imaginedā€”everything from your Pinterest board. And everything was straight-up luxury: Louboutins, YSL heels, Chanel dresses, Cartier jewelry, and a Birkin bag. Who is this guy?
"Is thisā€”"
"I almost needed to kill someone for that stupid bag, but everything for you, princess," he said. The sound of his flickering tongue made your stomach grumble.
"You can't buy my love!" You screamed, your emotions pent up, and you started to cry again.
He grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you down into the basement of this mansion, showing you a dark and cold room. "Stop being ungrateful, or I'll let you rot here." He didn't need to prove anything. You knew he was ruthless by the way he killed his own men.
"I'm sorry, Vlad."
"Good girl," he purred, nipping at your neck. He wasn't someone who showed care or ever felt affection before, but he was always possessive, never sharing, not even as a kid.
So, this was his way to go: marking your neck, showering you with gifts, and showing everyone touching you would get them killedā€”and not in a merciful way. He didn't know why or what spell you put him under, but you occupied his mind. He was almost close to killing you for it, but he had better things in mindā€”more selfish things for you.
"You know, my princess, I have big plans for you."
"Kill me and send my corpse to my dad?" You said it sarcastically, and he smirked at your response.
"You know this is my empire, and every good empire needs its queen."
"No."
"Oh, you think you have a say in this? You will fall in love with me anyway, pathetic little girl."
He grabbed you and pushed you deeper into him, the tip of his finger gliding around your bottom lip, savoring the slickness from your trembling lips before kissing you forcefully. He wasn't a man who kissed without ulterior motives normally, always feeling disgusted by this. But right now, he wanted to claim every inch of you, showing you that you are indeed his.
Like a reflex, you leaned into his kiss, feeling the need to savor this moment. He could have only asked you out, and you would have agreed, but now you're his plaything.

I just want to reflect how much the Loki show ruined Loki as a character for me and how much disheartened I was with it.
I had always wanted a spinoff on him, which explored him more. And the Loki show did anything but that.
Do you guys remember how Loki was in Infinity War for like 5 minutes, yet Tom Hiddleston was at almost every media interaction the cast had? The same thing happened in the show as well. They used him to market the show, then sidelined him in his own show. I think that was unacceptable, because they used Loki as a bait to promote a character that I held no emotions for.
Sylvie.
The argument that one does not like Sylvie because they ā€œhate a strong female character/a character with complex arcsā€ is so pathetic. I donā€™t think I wouldā€™ve liked Sylvie even if she had the most elaborate arc in the MCU (which she doesnā€™t) because it just wasnā€™t meant to be about her.
I wanted to see Lokiā€™s story, his journey, and if you take this moment to interject with the statement that ā€œsheā€™s Loki too, just differentā€, then I say that I wanted to see our Loki, the one who was broken when he found out that he was the monster parents told their children about at night, the one who had plethora of iconic dialogues while fighting the avengers, who was killed only for us to realize that he wasnā€™t.
Everytime I said that we needed a Loki spinoff before it was announced was not because I wanted new characters, it was because I wanted to see more of the character that was already there, very much beloved by the fans. I wanted them to explore his character in a deeper sense and maybe dip a little into mythology as well.
I think Loki was one of those characters that neither needed a love interest nor was ready for one. I donā€™t ship him with either Sylvie or Mobius, because it feels like neither of them genuinely like Loki for who he is.
Loki had far more compelling things they could have explored like his jotun heritage, his trauma from the time with Thanos and his magic that is the only memory he has of Frigga instead of his love life.
The whole show felt like it was written by someone who wasnā€™t the least bit interested in Loki and barely looked into him before creating his female counterpart.
It feels like a disrespect for the fans who were connected to Loki on an emotional level.
Why am I saying this now, after like 2 years since the show came out?
I donā€™t know, after hearing the news about season 2 releasing in October, I just feel so upset. Tired. I hate this show much because it made Loki so irrelevant to me. A sidepiece in his own show. He went around in ugly costumes and all the regal vibes I had from him just disappeared.
I still remember a time when Loki was on the top of my favorite characters, and I loved him so much. I still do, but Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™ll watch the 2nd season and my 13 y/o self would hate me for this.
Iā€™ve gotten detached from his character and I hate myself for it because Loki was someone whom I adored more than anything else in the fandom world.
Loki is that one character who is loved by the fanon but absolutely despised by the canon.
