Caitlyn woke with gasp, followed by a series of rough coughs that shook her to her core as she tried to claw her way out of the blanket tucked around her. She didn't fully recognize her surroundings, the room was dark and small, but cozy in a way. She certainly wasn’t in Piltover, the lack of glistening white marble and sounds of fighting outside were enough to tell her that. So she was in the Undercity, that could only mean one thing.

“Easy there cupcake.” Vi murmured, a calloused hand settling on her forehead. Caitlyn stilled, the sound of her voice instantly calming her. It didn’t matter where she was anymore, she knew that she would be safe with Vi. The pink haired woman would keep her out of any real danger. With the question of her safety settled, Caitlyn allowed herself to look inward to her aching limbs and foggy head. 

“I’m ill?” She croaked, blinking up at the blurry figure of her girlfriend. No matter how hard she blinked she couldn’t manage to clear her vision, it was irritating. Being ill was irritating. She had so much to do, she had no time for this. Unfortunately frustration was not enough to stave off the fever that was keeping her practically nailed to the bed. She could barely keep her eyes open. 

“That's an understatement. I found you half conscious in an alley, figured it’d be better to take you here. That way I can keep an eye on you.” Vi brushed a strand of navy blue hair behind Caitlyn’s ear, studying her face with careful scrutiny. The enforcers skin was paper white, the fever flush on her cheeks making her appear even more frail. Her eyes were sunken, filled with anguish. 

The past few weeks had been tough on her, tougher than she’d ever truly let on. Vi knew to some extent, understood the wordless looks and touches that lasted longer than they needed to. There was never any doubt about the internal struggle Caitlyn had been waging, but also no conversation. There was no time for that conversation.

A barking cough tore itself from her lungs, the grating feeling scraping across her dry throat. She was too tired to lift a hand to cover her mouth, but she still tried to muffle the fit into the blanket. She was a woman of status after all, she needed to hold onto some decorum. 

She felt a cool glass press against her lips, a hand propping her head up so that she could drink. She took large, grateful sips, the liquid soothing her throat. 

“Thanks.” She mumbled, turning towards the hands that were holding her up. She wanted to be nearer to Vi, she felt alone without her touch. It was undignified, but there was no fight left in her. She needed comfort, the strong warrior had gone and replaced her with a weak, sick woman.

“Will you…lay with me? I’m cold…” Caitlyn murmured, emphasizing her point with a painful shiver. Her body couldn’t even do her the kindness of allowing her to be cold in peace, the body aches were enough to make her tear up. Vi grunted quietly and made her way under the blanket, wrapping the taller woman up in her arms. Caitlyn shifted so that she could place her head on Vi’s chest, taking comfort in her rhythmic breathing and steady heartbeat. She could allow herself this peace for a little while, just until her fever broke.

summary: a walk on the beach with confessions.

pairing: prince!yeosang x florist!female!reader

genre/tags: fluff, royalty, cute, mention of social class

wc: 500+ words

a/n: first sangie post! this is seriously so adorable that i was combusting >.<

Prince Kang Yeosang is the definition of beauty. 

His looks and demeanor are so unreal that the people of Aurora can’t compare to him. But Yeosang also gets misunderstood by many. He is viewed as a stoic, untouchable man who is too perfect for the world. However, Yeosang’s true colors are much the opposite. His calming and kind personality is bright like a flower. Most importantly, a true gentleman who fell in love with a civilian. 

You are the sun that delights him and the moonlight to clear his darkest hours.

After running the kingdom the entire day, Yeosang takes you on a beach stroll as the sunset welcomes them. 

The sunset blossoms upon the horizon as if a million scarlet blooms ignited.

Hand-in-hand, the young couple took steps on the sand, and the sounds of ocean waves rustling soothed their ears. Yeosang ditched his pristine clothes, made by luxury brands, and wore comfortable, casual ones. He turns his head to see the real beauty next to him. You sense his hard gaze and look up at his glimmering eyes.

“It’s rude to stare.” You playfully remarked. A deep chuckle escaped from his glossy lips. “It’s not bad when it’s someone that you love.” Yeosang countered. You become flustered and quickly break eye contact. You hate yet enjoy how he uses his sweet words.

Surprisingly, the beloved Prince Kang Yeosang wasn’t this daring before. He used to be shy, quiet, and socially awkward. Suddenly, he found seven other friends who were princes in their respective kingdoms. Not to mention, he also comes across you giving out flowers to children at your flower shop. 

Yeosang then lets go of your hand to embrace you from behind. His strong arms wrap around your waist and his chin is on your left shoulder. “I’m curious. Why did you agree to be with me?” He inquiered. A royal highness choosing someone from a lower class did raise a lot of eyebrows, and a bit of controversy. In the end, Yeosang defended the sun and moon of his life and confronted his parents that he found happiness, from a lovely florist. 

You responded to Yeosang’s question. “It sounds straightforward but I picked you because you’re the only one in my life. I never got intimidated by your status. I see you as a human being who is unbearably cute, handsome, funny, and caring.” You tell the truth to your lover. 

Yeosang listens carefully while his heart is pounding and his cheeks blooming red. “O-Oh, wow. Thank you. Very.” He shyly appreciates your everything. You heard his stutter and smiled. It’s adorable how Yeosang gets shy and it’s endearing. 

You craned your neck to the side and looked at him. Yeosang notices it and returns the smile. “I love you.” He spoke sincerely. You flash your teeth in a wide smile. “I love you too.” You surprise him with a peck on his rosy lips. Yeosang jolted and his face became red like a rose.

Hi! I hope you're well. I'm sending you a request for Headcaons for Simeon, if it's still possible, rather Hurt/Comfort on the theme that Simeon's become human. I loved the text you wrote for him for the 500 followers event with the word Fear. I really wanted to get into the fic to give him a hug and reassure him. Take care of yourself and have a nice day!

Hi there, anon!

Oh wow, I kinda forgot all about that little scene I wrote! It's right here in case anybody would like to read it. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

So okay, I really tried to do this theme justice. I have a lot of feelings about Simeon and him becoming human. I hope it turned out okay! I think I could write quite a bit on this theme and never tire of it. There's just so much potential.

Thank you for participating!

COZY COMFORTS EVENT

GN!MC x Simeon on becoming human

Warnings: spoilers for season four of OG

Simeon will never forget how it felt when he became human. The reassuring warmth of his angelic power dissipated, leaving him feeling empty and incomplete. Throughout the many years of his existence, that power was always within him. It defined him, heralding him as an angel, giving him the means to survive in all three worlds - places where magic and demons also thrived. The second that power left him, it was replaced by an endless barrage of questions. Who was he without it? Who was he without his wings? What did it even mean to be human? Would he ever feel like he knew himself again?

He can't tell you. Whenever he looks into your eyes, he thinks about sharing this new truth with you. And yet every time, he holds back. He's too full of the need to protect you from the burden of it. It's the only way he has to protect you. Once he could watch over you, he could be your guardian angel. Now all he could do was keep his secrets.

He can tell that you're aware that something has changed. He wants to confide in you, but just thinking about speaking to you about it makes his gut twist. He's sure some of the others already know. He's noticed how Solomon and Lucifer seem to be watching out for him more than usual. Will you catch on? Will you guess what has happened without him having to say it? Is that better or worse?

Simeon had given up so much to stay in the Celestial Realm when Lucifer and his brothers fell. Deliberately standing on the sidelines so he wouldn't be ousted himself, but unable to join the fight on the side of the angels he cared so deeply about. A demotion to archangel was only a small sting in comparison to the guilt of knowing he had left Lucifer and the others to fall without him. This time he couldn't stay out of it. This time he had made the choice to help Lucifer. This time it had cost him more than just his angelic rank. Without his wings, he could never go back to the Celestial Realm. He had lost more than just his understanding of himself. He had lost his home, too.

Simeon thinks perhaps he should feel guilty. Perhaps he should be ashamed. But though he maintains his calm and collected exterior, inside he knows that he would make the same choice a million times over. And beneath that there boils a secret rage. His choice saved the worlds, his choice kept you safe. Despite everything, Simeon knows he did the right thing. He did it for you, but he did it for the state of the three worlds, too. Maybe he deserves this punishment, but he can't bring himself to regret his decision. Every time he sees your smile, his conviction strengthens.

You learn the truth eventually, of course. And when you do, Simeon is blown away when he sees your eyes fill with the deepest love. He's baffled by your reaction. He wasn't sure what he had been expecting. Disappointment? Confusion? Outrage? And yet, you're all softness and warmth. You encompass him, a light he didn't realize he was missing until that very moment.

It takes some time. Simeon has to learn what it means for him to be human now. He has to find his purpose again, find himself. You stay by his side, a steady presence, a gentle comfort, and a reminder of what a human can be. You're stronger than him now, protecting him where he can longer protect you. And yet, he finds he doesn't mind. You're an inspiration to him, MC. You are something special, something he can never become, but perhaps he can learn to be something new, too.

A day comes when Simeon looks at you and realizes that you have filled the empty hole where his angelic self once was. Your smile, your patience, your endless love, how you accept him no matter what. And he sees that he would rather have you than all the angelic power in the Celestial Realm. He had been confused and frightened for so long, not knowing his place in the world any longer. It was an ache so wide within him he didn't think he could ever move past it. Now he sees he hasn't lost his home. It's always been right here, with you.

[calamari-minecraft-corner]

Hey can I pls know more about dnd!Puffy? And like what all went down with her and Dream? How does their meeting again and then later conversation go?

Also, is the syndicate a proper think in this au? And just in general, what're Ranboo and Niki like? Is Steve the polar bear here?

Wow that was an almost completely random assortment of questions, I guess I'm just curious about a lot of things to do with this au :>

Also I just really like the artic commune(my first and most watched pov is Techno's) so I can't help but ask about them :)

Honestly I love random questions like this because I fucking LOVE worldbuilding and character building like YES PLEASE— my Dungeon Master brain goes wild with this so it helps c:

Anyways onto the answers!

1. Puffy is a firbolg Swashbuckler Rogue! Firbolgs are basically half giants and the little thing I have kinda always done with my firbolgs is to make them have more sheep/cow features. Like Caduceus from Critical role

Like this! Also that means she’s like 7 feet tall bc Firbolg are massive.

Anyways— Puffy is Dream’s biological mom in this au- because firbolgs can live to be up to 500 years old! So the math tracks tbh. But yeah she basically raised him on the docks and the ocean, rarely staying in each kingdom for long. When Dream got old enough however he wanted to stay in the Kinoko kingdom because he wanted to help King George (this was before everything) and Puffy let him- she was always supportive of him no matter what.

And when everything happened she was honestly the last one that left him.

Puffy tried to find reasoning for what he was doing- she did. But the more unhinged and more impulsive he got she was obviously worried for her son- and after him breaking his allegiance with George and Sapnap he kinda- went off the deep end.

But he went to her because that’s his mother. And Dream honestly was kinda a mama’s boy back then.

But they got into a big argument when he tried to convince her that the reason why he was doing this was to be beneficial for the continent and that the pain and tragedy would be worth it but she didn’t listen.

He didn’t hurt his mom physically, but he left afterwards and puffy was crushed.

And she joined the final battle to try and stop him- but she didn’t want to hurt him.

She actually went to the prison once to ask if she could see Dream, but Sam told her that he didn’t want to see her- and Puffy believed it and stopped trying.

Fast forward to the current events- Puffy is still a captain, she has no allegiance to anyone and prefers to just make sure the waters are safe. When she firsts sees Dream she doesn’t believe it because he looks drastically different than the last time she saw him/ and she knew something was wrong.

And she heard these new friends (and Fundy) call him Pyre, so she knew something happened.

So she plays it up! Saying that her and Pyre were old friends and that’s why she knew him.

When they’re in private though it’s a lot different. Puffy is worried- concerned on what happened and who did this to him but Dream is too nervous and even stubborn to say otherwise. It takes a bit for him to open up and they do get into an argument one time, him yelling at her and saying why didn’t she visit or at least try and send him something.

But then Puffy tells him that she thought that he said he didn’t want to see her.

And it both clicks for them that Sam was lying to both of them.

After that and the initial shock of the party realizing that’s Dream- things.. simmer. Him and his mom are okayish- they’re rocky but Dream is trying. And Puffy honestly kinda adopts Cala and Spooky since she sees that Cala is trying to help him be better, despite what he’s done and did prior. She hopes it’s a good influence but is worried for all of them. But she still loves her son so so much.

-

2. The syndicate is a thing! But it’s very.. secretive. Like secret secret. Nobody knows about the syndicate, only the monarchs do due to their ways of sabotaging some events as well as going against their laws. But no one knows who’s running it. The Syndicate is a secret faction that works on the belief that there shouldn’t be a monarch system and that these different beliefs aren’t healthy- especially with the restriction of wild magic. So they plan to dismantle it as best as they can and as quietly as they can. Honestly the vibe I get from them is like the Dark Brotherhood from the Elder Scrolls series if that makes sense?

Arctic commune exists though! In the far north is called the “Icebreaker’s Land” which is filled with tundra and Arctic. It’s one of the lands that isn’t run by any kingdom due to how dangerous it is as well as how rural it is. But people still live there! It’s like one of the only options if you don’t want to live in a kingdom, next to the Badlands.

-

3. Niki and Ranboo my beloveds! for Niki, she is a halfling Alchemist Artificer and an Arcane Archer Fighter! Niki was a close supporter of Wilbur back then and they were pretty close friends- but she felt that something was up with him right at the end of the war. And when the war finally ended and he asked her to officially work under his kingdom again- she declined and left. Shes very- conflicted in this au, since she doesn’t know what fully went on with Wilbur but she knows something doesn’t add up. When she’s with the syndicate though it honestly helps her a lot and heals her- but she has her moments. She brings this air of authority around her even though she is a halfling, and Cala honestly looks up to her a lot when they meet.

For Ranboo, Ranboo is a tiefling Aberrant Mind Sorcerer! Ranboo has— been through a lot in this au. He really was only a teenager when the war started and he didn’t realize what was going on.

Dream encountered Ranboo and convinced him to help him- and it resulted in Ranboo being a sorcerer and hating his powers immensely.

Any time Ranboo uses his powers for a long enough time he goes into a blank state, similar to his endwerwalk state actually! And Ranboo was used a lot to help with the battle until Tommy and Tubbo managed to capture him and snap him out of it.

He’s been- coping ever since the war. He’s an adult now- he had a kid with Tubbo and they sadly became distant and they have shared custody. But he’s still unstable, on edge because no one can fix what happened to him except Dream himself. And he does NOT want to see Dream.

It… takes him a while for him to get used to him but he doesn’t forgive what Dream had done to him. He just wants to feel normal but it’s hard- and the course of the au he grows into getting used to his powers after so long.

-

4. Yes Steve the bear is there and he helps a lot, patrolling the commune in general and just being a good emotional support animal for anyone that needs it :3

IM SO SORRY THESE ARE SO LONG DHDSJSJ but yes please enjoy this and I hope this answers what it needs to- again I love answering questions like this since I legit planned this au like a dnd campaign HDJDJDKD

[lesb0]

As a teenager I did mimic what my friends were saying about their male celebrity crushes, and I really thought I was attracted to them too even though I did not want to do anything with them that my friends wanted, I really wanted them to like me and didn’t consider myself particularly different from them cause they were all bi so also attracted to women, but then when we entered our late teens and they started getting boyfriends I was like wow I’d never be able to interact with a male body like that it just does nothing for me, and I only every think about women and are only ever attracted to women in my daily interactions and relationships. I thought about all of those celebrities and characters and I was like if they were here and we were 100% compatible I still don’t feel like I could want to or like to do anything with them no matter how I slice it and look at it in my head. Stopped the performance and trying to match my friends energy, accepted I was different from them and just started being myself. So I can understand if you’re young maybe not understanding yourself that you’re not attracted to these men as long as you can pretend to yourself and others that you are. But I can’t understand these women who call themselves lesbians while admitting they are attracted to male celebrities and characters. Can they not hear how contradictory it sounds to say you’re a lesbian and are attracted to some men, or have exceptions? That just means you have specific types, not that you don’t like men all together. Or the women who (understandably) hate men … then feel negative towards their attraction to them calling themselves lesbian. If you’re calling yourself a lesbian cause you don’t like being attracted to men, that isn’t what lesbian is, you just don’t like part of yourself. I understand insecurity and confusion in your homosexuality because recognising yourself as such is new to you, but I don’t understand the dissonance between going “I am or was genuinely attracted to xyz man but I’m still a lesbian”

hmmm right it's so weird because I understand women being really into their blorbos and wanting to have something to blog with their internet friends and not be left hanging. like you can post middle aged women and get 2 likes or middle aged men and get 500 likes, so which one are you going to idol worship for?

my question is are you just pretending to agree with other repressed bi women or are you being a repressed bi woman at the point you're constantly talking about men like you're in love w them lol. this is mostly women who are veeery immature and misogynistic with how they approach fandoms, who tend to get addicted to fandom clout because they can't really navigate normal socializing

LMK AU ~ TJTTW Part 2

Wow okay, so some of you actually like my au idea so here I think I'll go over how exactly Macaque becomes the Monkey Queen, immortal, and a different punishment instead of everyone getting a mountain thrown on them. Comment, leave some questions or suggestions <3

First things first Macaque is just as immortal as Wukong, it's why during his fight with Wukong he doesn't die. Macaque ate the peach, drunk the wine, and took the pill. He fought heaven and they tired the same punishments to kill him, no luck but someone did get their hand bit and spent the rest of the day wondering if they got magical money rabies. The smirk Mac had didn't help. Wukong didn't get trapped under a mountain for 500 years, no Buddha decided to use a different punishment for the to monkeys that seem to be attached at the hip. "The hero and warrior were like the Sun and Moon." Buddha trapped Wukong in the Sun and Macaque in the Moon. Wukong could only walk the Earth in the day while Macaque could only walk in the night this kept the two separated for 500 years untill Wukong would leave for the Journey of the West. Side note getting trapped in the Sun and Moon had a few unforseen consequences, such as our monkeys gaining powers usually connect to the Sun and Moon. Powers such as the ability to control fire and water along with healing abilities, they can now control Sun and Moon when either one loses control of his emotions. Yes this is why Buddha will not fight them again. He didn't realize the punishment would somehow make two already overpowered monkeys even more OP and is afraid that fighting them again would tear the universe to shreds. No he will never let the monkeys know this mainly because his think Wukong would tear the universe apart for fun and Mac keeps no secrets from his mate. Buddha doesn't know how to tell the Jade Emperor that if the monkeys go crazy again then there is nothing anyone can do to stop them. He is 68% sure the Jade Emperor already know tho.

So that how we get two OP immortal monkeys but how does Macaque become Monkey Queen because currently his is still know as the King's Warrior. Well when Wukong leaves for the TJTTW Macaque for the first time ever doesn't go with him and stays to guard Flower Fruit Mountain and to care for the monkeys. Well a troublesome Baboon King hears about a beautiful mountain with rich fruit and water and many other resources. He hears how the king of this mountain had left for long journey leaving his beautiful mate and their hoard of monkeys without a leader. The Baboon King gathers his army and heads straight for Flower Fruit Mountain when they arrive he sent and small group of baboons to attack any near by monkeys. This quickly gains Macaque's attention and he confronts the Baboon King who tells Macaque to surrender and be his mate or the baboons will enslave the monkey army and kill the cubs. Macaque is given one day to make his choice and being the warrior his is chooses to fight for the only home and family he's ever known. This leads to years and years of a bloody and vicious war but also this is when Macaque makes an alliance with the Spider Queen and the Scorpion Queen trading food and gems for venom, weds, and a few illusion spells. Meanwhile the Baboon King was growing crazier by the day, especially when his general and number one supporter died is battle. A battle that took a heavy hit on the baboons, many missed home and were growing desperate and defeated. The new general just want this war to end and was ready to surrender. This general and many of the other baboons were losing respect in their tyrannical King. Finally the war came to an end when Macaque lead a small group immoral monkeys to ambush the baboons camp leaving them open to a large attack from the rest of the monkey army and hopefully driving the baboons off Flower Fruit Mountain for good. The attack went as planned until the final battle between Macaque and the Baboon King, the Baboon King was losing and noticed his general had managed to sneak up behind Macaque and yelled for the general to strike Macaque but as Macaque turn to defend against an attack the Baboon General dropped his weapons and raised his hands is surrender begging Macaque to let the remaining baboons leave the mountain. This gained the attention of every monkey and baboon as they paused to see what was happening between the leaders. The Baboon General's surrender angered the King and in a manic cry threatened to kill the general and any baboons that didn't fight. With that the baboons turned on their King dropping their weapons and bowing before Macaque, the general knelt down and loudly proclaimed Macaque as the Monkey Queen followed by the monkeys bowing with the baboons and everyone chanting for their new Monkey Queen as he read out the former Baboon King's crimes and landed the killing blow. From here the baboons and monkeys joined forces and lead by their new Queen built a strong kingdom on top of Flower Fruit Mountain.

One last bit before I end of this post with some songs. After the war and rebuilding a kingdom Macaque misses Wukong and is worried about his mate. He had been gone for so long and they hadn't heard anything. The monkeys were both hurt and angry, they loved their Monkey King but felt betrayed that he was always leaving the mountain and causing trouble. It didn't help that during the long war Wukong had not been seen or heard from at all. When Macaque announces that is leaving to find Wukong his monkey generals try to convince him to stay and opened up about how they should forget about the Monkey King for betraying them. Macaque sees through the anger and finds their pain in being left behind and their fear that if Macaque leaves then he will never return. Macaque reminds everyone that Flower Fruit Mountain is his home and as long as he is Queen Wukong is King and that he will bring Wukong back for good. Everyone respects their Queen and knows to trust his words. Macaque leaves unaware of the mess Wukong has gotten himself into and the Journey East he will soon face.

WOW MY GOD THIS WAS A LOT! And I have so much more! How Wukong and Macaque met, the actual journey to the east, does MK or Bai He play any roll, Mayor is still a fucking gremlin, Macaque and Tripitaka become friends and respect eachother!?!?!??!??! But as promised some songs that go along with the AU one in way or another.

This just matches with the punishment between Wukong and Macaque and how the only time then could see eachother was when the Sun and Moon shared the same sky.

Remember the small ambush on the baboon camp well Macaque gives a similar speech to his troop like Odysseus. But I guess the last bit of the song could be considered foreshadowing. For what? That is for another post, but incase anyone wants to know what Macaque fights for its for his King and their home.

For this one its mainly at the end of the song, 3:06 onward, were Odysseus confronts the cyclops. Yes Macaque gives Baboon King the same speech before kill the lunatic.

aitsf + 20, 11, and 9 for the violence ask game

9. worst part of canon: i don't want to say all of aini because that's mean and some parts of it were very good (i would die for ryuki and tama). so i'm gonna go with a toss-up between every time uchikoshi is unnecessarily horny (this includes most characters' treatment of iris and excludes everything tama has ever said) and kaname date's entire character and storyline in aini. making a big deal out of his disappearance only to reveal that he was just in atami and an amnesiac for six years is stupid. having his appearance stay the same because he "had a silicone mask of saito's face" is stupid. everyone had wild pre-release theories on how date could still be in saito's body and nearly every single one of them is more interesting than the truth. this is only the first question and it's already getting so long and i don't care. his entire treatment of aiba and mizuki. he lost aiba in the resolution route, she was the one who made him whole, and you expect us to believe that he'd get into a genuine fight with him and they'd separate? it's like the writers forgot that he's actually a genuinely compassionate person underneath all of his old man bickering. it's why mizuki route works so well- and speaking of mizuki, we were absolutely robbed of a proper reunion in aini. all we got was a poorly timed "welcome home" that was immediately followed up with another porno mag joke. because date's just the porno mag guy, we can't have him show any other emotions for too long or the game will explode. i'm going back to the mask thing real quick- it could've at least been interesting if they went into it as him preferring saito's face to his own. but they didn't. just a "ohhh the ladies like this one more" boy shut UP. i hate you pandering to new fans and defeating the point to a sequel. i love you version of aini that lives only in my head. oh god this is still only the first question. i'm so sorry chey

11. number of fandom-related words you've filtered: okay this is easy. i don't need to write an entire essay. only three- 2zuki, dateryu, and ryudate. 2zuki because it's fucking gross, and the ryudate tags because a lot of the fans are annoying and i don't think date would reciprocate. he's bagged the ultimate milf he doesn't have time for some twink

20. part of canon you found tedious or boring: hmm. well if we're going for boring i could say date's character in aini BUT i already wrote a whole essay on that so i'll pick a different answer. a lot of mizuki's side in aini was kind of boring/disconnected. i know in hindsight this is because half of the time you're not mizuki, you're bibi, but when you're playing for the first time you don't know that, and it makes mizuki seem watered down and bland compared to ai1. you have to withhold a lot of information from the player to pull off the timeline twist, and while it works, it comes at the cost of mizuki's characterization. she feels a lot flatter in aini because we're locked out of so much of the narration. the same can also be said for bibi, and we're locked out of even more of her true thoughts since the game misleads us into thinking she's mizuki. the result is that mizuki doesn't feel like herself, and we don't truly get to experience bibi's thoughts. i like bibi but her execution left a lot to be desired

wow that's over 500 words. sorry i have an illness

Number 9

Damn. It went over 500, but only by 120 or so and I wanted a decent ending. Here you go.

The Tent of Infinite Adventure had torn the Golds apart. One minute they were walking together through a thick wood and in the next, Belle found herself suddenly alone. It wasn't as if her husband and son had teleported away, either. The trees had simply... swallowed them up, blending with each other to create walls between them. Now, as she struggled to come to grips with what she was experiencing, the trunks and branches were changing again.

Yellow light from the sun was pouring through the dancing leaves, which turned the beams more to a hue that imitated their own. These green fingers clawed their way toward her, then pulled away, making the very air around her seem to ripple like water.

"Belle?" Rumple's panic echoed around her as clearly as if he were standing by her side.

"Papa?" Gideon's voice followed. "Where are you?"

"We're all still here," Belle answered both. "I think it doesn't want us to see each other."

"I bet we found another puzzle!" Her son's voice bounded through the air with excitement.

Rumple huffed. "Well, if it is one I can't see what type it might be."

"Should we keep walking or stand still and study our surroundings?" Belle froze in place even as she made the suggestion, trying to take in what she could.

"I'm in someone's laundry room," Gideon chortled. "Or caught up in their lines and lines of drying clothes. All I can see is hanging fabric as big as picnic blankets, in all kinds of patterns."

"We might have something then," Rumple added. "Because I'm in what appears to be a thread shop. All I can see are drawers and drawers of thread, each with a different thickness and texture."

Belle took in her own location. She truly did feel as if she were walking beneath the sea. "I don't know what that will do for us," she sighed. "The tent left me under water. There is sand and the air moves around like water would. I think there is seaweed in the distance, but that's all. Everything else is just... water."

"What if you go to the seaweed?"

Following her son's suggestion, she moved closer, surprising herself at how easily she could move in the supposedly liquid environment. It took what felt like ages to get there, but once she arrived, she could just make out the hint of something in and around the plants and collected rocks. Creeping closer, she soon became overwhelmed by the power of what she saw.

Colors bounced around in her head. They mixed and threaded themselves together. Even colors that had no business being together. They were all one, yet distinctly separate at the same time. How was she going to explain this to the others?

"It reminds me of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea," she murmured as she stumbled backward, shaking her head to clear it.

From the distance, her son laughed. "Which part?"

"The part where it describes what it looked like when they went walking on the ocean floor," she called back.

"Oh, wow!" Belle could practically hear her son drooling over the environment she had been gifted.

"What if this is a task of patterns?" Rumple pondered the question as he spoke it, his voice filled with curiosity in a way that said he was inspecting the threads before him with greater care. "I might have to gather, weave, or spin the colors in Gideon's picnic blankets and your ocean view."

Belle heard a thump, then heard Gideon moan. "This is going to take forever." She could imagine him crumpled on the floor, staring at the offending cloth in defeat.

"Don't give up," she insisted. "We'll figure it out together."

How do we Think?

- September 10, 2020

The ability of thinking!!A major suphosticated and fascinating ability of the left hemisphere of our brain.We use this ability in many places and most importantly before taking any action.I am using this ability even right now to write the blog😀.So lets just go to the straight point cause i am also not interested to add some boring lines in this blog.We know that our brain is center of our thinking ability,but recently it came out that our heart may possibly  have the total possibility of thinking!!!!.Imagine,,,your heart is thinking as well as pumping your blood.Interesting huh!!At research it is shown that heart has 40,000 neurons which are also found at brain!!!.I mean like 40,000 is comparatively lesser than freaking 86 billion neurons in our brain!!!Holy Moly,, We are acknowledged with the sentence"Follow your heart".Everyone heard it.And what does it mean basically?It means that think using your heart not your brain. And that really sounds Weirder and illogical to the science minds,because heart is just a pumping organ.And the Brain is the center of thinking ability,emotions,positive-negative thoughts and etc.But things about capabilities of heart are really gonna sound amazing,  At the Holy Quran it is said that,"Heart is the source of thinking,emotion,analyze and also a source of imagination".

A human body is really a complex matter.Understanding human body took scientist decades and lots of experiments.Still our Human body remains mysterious as the Cosmos.Not only this.There are really fabulous interesting facts about the pumping organ popularly known as Heart.We are all familiar With heart transplant.Many lives are saved because of this.But do you know the wow fact!!!.People who received heart from the other respective person,can remember a lot of details about the donor.Like The type of food he/she likes,the place, the preferece and also they can remember the memories of the donor.Thats Just Amazing and also a real fascinating fact that changes every thought.Our heart is our second brain like TF!!!😲That means our heart does store the details about us.Interesting!🤔According to my opinion,i really agree with the fact that our heart does have the ability to think or influence a lot in terms of thinking. I think that Our brain does  give us thinking ability and also emotions and also positive negative thoughts,but our brain doesnt have the power to choose or analyze.For example, We got 100 bucks on the street,we will have two kinds of thought,one is to take it silently and get away from that place which is of course a negative sort of thought,another thought will be to ask about the person who dropped it and return it back which is obviously a positive thought.But the Question is,will our brain acknowledge us to choose the positive thought or the negative.Here i think heart plays a role,heart may give us the power to analyze and choose.But for that our personality really matters too.So our heart ability is based on our personality!And our personality is based on our mindset.So ultimately we are confused.But lets look at the matter closely.Our heart communicates with our brain in four different ways,1.Neurologically,2.Via hormones,3.biophysically,4.through electromagnetic field interactions.Side note(The emf of heart 500 times larger than the brains emf).The neurons in our heart communicates with the brain,and this may affect our emotion,and also the heart broken feel that we get is because of the communication between the heart and the brain as they help us to react to surrounding occurence.So and because of heart we decide whats good or whats bad according to the purification of our personality. And so heart can be really termed as the root of our behaviour, emotions,imagination!.Brain gives you function and features,but the ability of using that is given by our heart.And heart may have the ability of thinking and synthesizing emotions.And we can clearly say that if our heart doesnt have the all abilities that we have been talking about, we would be like robots.Because everyones brain is same but what makes a person different from others is there heart. Heart absolutely manipulates and influence the brain.So finally it can be said that Heart is more than a pumping organ.And the above opinions are given based on absolute research about the topic.

Thank you for reading this blog.Thank you for becoming part on one of the most-debated topics.Tried my level best to represent this.Once again Thank you😀.-Badar Hossain.

This is a threat that's repeating it's not as bad as the first one at Hewitt Trump was operating oxyacetylene the tank and caught on fire at the valve stem threaded connection it was going to blow up he threw a towel on it then he left and it was bad pretty good but this stuff is terrible it's lame nowhere getting ready right now for another phase

--we are getting ready for a full afternoon of crazy stuff and we mean it it's going to be necessary this phase is very huge we have several opportunities to mention what it is wow but really it is gigantic it's going to encompass most of the world and it's going to start fairly soon my son is doing salt so he feels better instantly it's because he's hydrating he thinks and we say that too. But these things are huge okay what's happening

-this idea that the guys have is pretty good but it's not really their idea completely it's because these guys will go out for the crabs and not the storms but we're thinking it might be the storms it's kind of a brief window and the storm he has to go offshore and position the ship so it doesn't mess with the wind going north so he has to be on the west of it so he's further away and he can't be to the south of it or east so he ends up being Southeast and at that position he's a good about 1500 miles away you can cross it pretty quick but if he Powers up he'll get shot down and he'll go out there he does it every time then Todd will try and sneak down now the crabs are still out there but if the third grouping goes the crabs will be huge and our son in a plane would be about a thousand miles away they don't go over the Gulf as much anymore they stay offshore 1 to 200 MI on purpose they do cut the corner at Big bend but not that much we go out like 500 miles and Arizona it's almost natural from Tampa so they are trying to do this it probably will happen when just a big ones are left probably 5 miles and bigger would you take a couple weeks to get there I don't know if you did it now the crabs would be only 3 to 500 miles away unless they skirt the shore which they usually do and they don't really tell them where they're flying and a lot of people want him along the shore. The flight to Arizona is probably truthfully about $2,500 MI has a sunset it does not take long how about 3 hours and they'll be a board a 747 or better now they made a bunch of larger ones they usually go about 800 and it is going to be coming up they say when the boys die so wondering how that's going to happen if it's indeed Tommy f and his his brother they would have to be captured they can't capture them here it doesn't work but they could in Arizona so they are thinking about that there's a maneuver like it that JC and Mary did and they needed it because this guy's a huge gorilla war for a guy against them unfortunately and it went that way so there's a couple things to this they're important to note and yeah the red are coming down a little bit we are watching him try and figure out what to do with this not much so still questions how's that really supposed to work a lot of people have theories we think the capture them probably in Arizona and they die they want to retake Florida and they want to have our son go there while they try and fill it up without them there and try and take their ships over at the same time using the threat of them dying somehow doesn't really seem to be fitting but okay that all makes sense but how would that ever start and our son and daughter say it's the crabs and they're already on the move a group one and two have almost cleared the gulf completely group three in the west is getting ready and it is coming from the north of the gulf and the Northwest first of course as well along Texas that portion is empty now Texas a lot of the small ones started out and then 300 to 500 are moving they're going to be out of there pretty soon it's a large number of crabs and they're big it'll go up to Texas it'll go up the coast and it will go all the way over to the edge of New Mexico the border and I'll slow down a little in the others will go the other way which is going to happen probably tonight they'll start moving once these guys start going it goes faster and faster in the west is going very fast they couldn't get out because of these idiots were in their way and now they can leave they're moving and the little ones want to leave to survive they can't live in this muck and they don't have any food all of this movement to string it all up salt water is coming in and killing the bacteria pretty soon until all of it most of it and it will grow more in a minute

Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunisia

36°52′0″N, 10°20′0″E

The time had come for us to head back to the US. Our second Schengen visa was nearly up and we have a 90th birthday party and a wedding to go to. It turns out that air fare this summer is wildly expensive. A one-way flight from Rome to New York started at $2,000 each and kept increasing in price. There had to be another way! Lucky for us Google Flights lets you search from an airport and see flight costs for anywhere in the world. After a little digging we discovered a $500 flight from Tunis, Tunisia to New York City with a layover in Casablanca. Rock on!

Getting from Palermo to Tunis can be accomplished in two ways: an expensive one hour flight or a cheaper ten hour ferry ride. We opted for the ferry ride because when else will we get the chance to cross the Mediterranean? We also anticipated that the border control at the port would be less picky than at the airport and we were dancing really, really close to a creative interpretation of Schengen visa laws. In retrospect we encourage anyone considering this journey to take the plane.

We had to check in for the ferry at 6:30am and there was no ferry at the port. Interesting. We picked a spot under a tree and posted up for the next four hours. We packed a lot of snacks because everyone said the ferry was a nightmare. We watched as cars piled with suitcases filed into lines to board the ship once it actually arrived. At the border control station I handed over my passport not thinking anything of it and nearly had a heart attack when the agent started flipping through our entry and exit stamps and then counting on his fingers! Thankfully we had nine days left from our last entry stamp and proof of an onward journey. Never underestimate the port.

The ferry ride was wild and truly a beautiful cultural experience. We were corralled and pushed on board and then took our pullman seats that we paid to reserve only to observe that general deck passage gets you on board and then you just go look around for an empty seat. Brilliant. We left port at 2:30pm (our original departure time was supposed to be 10:30am). It was sort of like a dirty mall with lots of kids throwing shoes at the wall and running up and down the stairs. Not completely horrible, but also not a sought after experience. We arrived at the Port of La Goulette at 12:30am and witnessed an almost stampede to get off the boat.

We read that the border control in Tunis can be formidable and we were prepared for bribes. We printed every single document for where we planned to be between the port and New York City in French, Arabic, and English and arranged to have our host pick us up.

Often while traveling US passports afford a privilege that others are not privy to. Tunis was an example of this. We handed over our US passports and were shooed through every check station with very little questioning.

Our host Nabil was a saint! When we exited the border control station the sidewalks were packed with people offering rides, selling food, and looking for their loved ones. Nabil swooped us up and then gave us a driving tour of Carthage on the way to Sidi Bou Saïd. He pointed out the best grocery store (where they won’t charge the Americans 5x more) and the best bank to exchange money at. As soon as our heads hit the pillow we were out!

The next morning we stopped by the caf�� Nabil suggested for a rose cardamom latte (WOW) and then adventured to the grocery store. Dates and amazing cans covered in Arabic script full of harissa met us as we collected provisions for the week.

It was also at least 110°F every day we were there. In a stroke of genius we realized we could start shifting our schedule to match New York City time and take advantage of the cooler nights, so that is exactly what we did!

Tucked on the main street in Sidi Bou is a gorgeous homage to traditional Tunisian life. Dar El Annabi feels like someone just stopped living in the house and set up a ticket booth at the front door in the 90s. Traditional and historical items surround things like a VCR. The views from the top were really special and being able to enter the prayer rooms and drink mint tea were appreciated privileges.

From 1909-1921 a French painter named Rodolphe d'Erlanger had the Ennejma Ezzahra Palace built (Tunisia was a French colony from 1881-1956). He is said to be responsible for funding and implementing the white and blue building motifs throughout Sidi Bou Saïd. The palace was a gift to wander through. It took us a bit to find the door, but once we did it did not disappoint.The day we visited was a toasty 114°F and the palace was cool and refreshing inside. A true testament to the power of engineering in the days before air conditioning. Today, the palace is a museum that houses the Center for Arabic and Mediterranean Music. You can tour the palace virtually and listen to the music collection!

The Tunis médina is a wandering, mystical maze of goods trading. From the 12th-16th centuries Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world. The médina is centered around a central mosque and the souqs (shops) radiate out in all directions. We dove in and headed to Dar Slah for a nourishing and traditional Tunisian lunch. Imagine lamb roasted with potatoes, dates, and figs. We then hit the narrow alleys in search of goods to stuff into our packs for the folks we love. The whole complex is below ground apparently so when camels came in loaded with goods they could be easily unloaded. It also kept everything refreshingly cool compared to the ambient temperature outside.

We had been warned that folks will approach you and act as your friend, making suggestions, and showing you things you must see only to demand payment for their services at the end. We wandered in and looked around and tried to find our way and then we got twisted around. As soon as we passed the same point for a third time a man popped out and started to suggest, guide, and ask questions in very good English. We also read that a firm “no thank you” usually does the trick. We are here to report that five firm no thank yous released us from the spell of the unwanted guide. A little flustered, we attempted to make our way back toward the entry gate and somehow ended up in the back alleys outside of the beaten path. Five months in the Ballarò, which is truly just a one thousand year old Arabic médina stuffed in what is today considered Italy, prepared us to tread bravely through the trash-ridden streets as we passed dead kittens swept up with the rest of the day's waste. We made it back to the beaten path with no incidents at all, but have a deep and profound understanding for the mysticism of One Thousand and One Nights as it sort of felt like we were lost for that long.

The greatest gift of being in Tunisia was the undeniable kindness of her people. We have been on the road for nearly a year now and the kindness we encountered in Tunisia is second to none.

We made our way to the airport and flew Royal Air Maroc to Casablanca. We can not recommend them enough! The seats had ample leg room and they fed us on a three hour flight! In Casablanca we just booked a hotel by the airport and discovered that if you have a layover longer than eight hours Royal Air Maroc will put you up in a hotel and pay for it! Next time, friends, next time. We arranged an evening tour of the sights and we are so glad we had a tour guide! He picked us up and took us around to the key places, Hassan II Mosque, Rick’s Cafe, and the médina. We aren’t normally big sight people, but getting between places was most fascinating.

Our flight to JFK was early and it was fun to slowly collect the familiar swagger of the Americans as we waited at the gate. We have new eyes that can clearly see what makes us so unmistakable in the rest of the world. We were also swiftly reminded that black bodies are not safe in the presence of authorities in the United States as we navigated Moroccan customs with a black man from New York City. There was no denying we were headed back.

"New Count Laid Against Bolduc," Montreal Star. September 29, 1943. Page 32. --- Freed at Plage Laval, Faces Draft Charge Here ---- Freed in Plage Laval last night on a charge arising out of the July brawl in that summer resort, Rene Bolduc, 23-year-old son of the chief of police of Plage Laval, appeared in local criminal court today to be charged again, this time under National Selective Service mobilization regulations.

Bolduc was arraigned before Judge Edouard Tellier on a charge of neglecting to provide the divisional registrar with his forwarding address. He pleaded not guilty and trial was set for October 6. The accused, represented in Plage Laval last night and in the local court today by Philippe Monette, K.C., was ordered to put up $500 bail.

Recorder Desire Desbois ended the case of the alleged race riot last night by dismissing one charge against Bolduc and Andre Bigras, 18, Ste. Dorothee farm worker, and acquitted the pair on a second charge. A charge of resisting an officer in the performance of his duty was withdrawn, and the two were acquitted on a charge of causing a disturbance at the Kozy Korner, a local dance hall, last July 24.

It was a topographical point which won freedom for Bolduc and Bigras in the crowded court room last night. According to evidence presented, the July brawl occurred at the Kozy Korner restaurant, but the actual fight which sent Moe Herscovitch, Jewish athlete, to hospital with serious eye injuries, occurred not at Plage Laval, but at Ste. Rose.

While the actual fight took place only a few steps from the Kozy Korner, the Recorder ruled that his court had no jurisdiction in the case because the trouble had осcurred on the Ste. Rose side of the parish dividing line.

In his final summing up of the case, Recorder Desbois decided that Bigras' participation in the brawl was in "legitimate defence," and finally that the Town of Plage Laval had exceeded its jurisdiction in placing against the accused a charge under a town by-law when the alleged offence was covered by the Criminal Code. He said the by- law did not specifically cover the particular offence charge.

The withdrawal of the charge of resisting an officer in the course of his duty was based on contradictory evidence given by two local policemen. One testified that Bolduc had left the Kozy Korner on the night of the brawl without causing trouble. The other testified that Bolduc had "rolled up his sleeves and was looking for a fight."

Mr. Monette entered the court proceedings for the first time last night, arguing on behalf of Bolduc. Benoit Poupart, who was alone representing Bolduc last week, was present again, with Paul Leblanc, counsel for Bigras.

Mr. Monette questioned H. Plafker, one of the Jewish residents of the summer resort, who testified that he saw Bolduc "with his sleeves rolled up". He testified further that Bolduc had pushed two constables in the Kosy Korner, and that he repeatedly described some of the people in the dance hall as "dirty Jews".

The testimony, however, counted for little, with Mr. Monette repeatedly reminding the witness that the current charge was of disturbing the peace and not of resisting an officer, a charge which had been withdrawn.

[AL: Wow, a whitewash of a race riot by a petty local judge, almost certainly because the accused was the son of a police officer. Who would have thunk it?]

Nuptials Of Blood, Chapter 43

Kasey

"Or should I say Dracula?" I was right, she's not a stupid woman. 

"How do you know?" Walt asks while he's pretty much talking into his legs since he's still stuck. 

"I had a feeling when I looked at his chart and there wasn't much in there, but it was confirmed once I saw the ring that said 'I am Dracula' in old Welsh, and 'Mark of Dracula' in old Latin." That's what two of his rings say? Did not know that. 

"Ah. Can someone help me stand up? I'm getting tired of looking at my knees." I try to get Walt back up but, fail. He is heavier than I am. I'm closer to 150 pounds! Weight more than Sienna but, still lighter than Walt. Didn't think he would weight this much for someone who's over 500 years old!

"Let me." I pull away and let Dr. Hook do it. 

"Alright. Take a deep breath and 3...2...1!" Dr. Hook crack Walt's back enough for him to stand up. 

"Ah...That actually doesn't hurt that bad." I'm still in awe in how a woman who might be only taller than me by a few inches was able to get Walt to stand back up. 

"How did you do that?"

"Habit of doing that to my husband, James. Who is more junk than human." Wait, James? Is her husband....

"Uh, Doctor. Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Are you married to Captain Hook?" 

"Yes." That explains the last name.

"How much of your husband is still human?"

"About 2%. Only his brain, his nose, I believe two of his fingers, and the reason why we have four children." Alright then...

"Alright, Mr. Deville. You can get dressed. A nurse will be coming back in here to give you your needed vaccinations." Walt's eyes slightly widen. Does he have a fear of needles? Dr. Hook walks out of the room after she says that sentence. 

"Walt, are you afraid of needles?"

"No."

"Then why did your eyes widen a little when the doctor mentioned about vaccinations?" 

"I just don't know what to expect." 

"You'll just be getting a bunch of needles into your arm."

"Oh." I turn around and grab his clothes. I turn around and he's already nude. Well, he wasted no time getting that gown off. 

"Here." I toss him his underwear and he put those on. At least, he'll be covered if the nurse comes in here before Walt has all of his clothes back on. I toss him his pants and belt. I toss him his shirt after he puts his pants back on. After Walt puts his pants back on, I grab his shoes and socks. I had them to him and he sits back down onto the exam table. Walt puts his socks back on first and then his shoes. The nurse comes back in just right after Walt puts his shoes back on. Wow, that's a lot of needles. 

"Alright Mr. Deville, do you want the shots in your left or right arm?" Walt looks to me. 

"Your arm will be sore as hell tomorrow. I suggest don't have it done in the arm to write with."

"Ah. Left." The nurse gets the first needle ready. I unbutton enough of Walt's shirt that his arm is visible enough for the shots. The nurse lifts up the first needle and Walt’s hand goes straight to my chest. 

“Do you have a homing beacon in my chest?” Looks like I’ll be getting a mammogram the hard way. The nurse pierces through Walt’s skin with the first needle and his grip just got tighter on my chest. Not as tight as I thought he was going to go but, still tight. 1 needle down, 5 more to go. The process continues with the rest of the needles until the nurse finishes with the last needle. 

“Alright, we’re done. Have a nice day.” The nurse leaves and Walt buttons his shirt back up. I turn around to grab my stuff. After I grab my stuff, all of a sudden I feel arms wrap around me, a body pressed up against me, and a head in the crook of my neck. 

“I’m sorry that I was being an ass.”  I reach up my hand to stroke his hair. 

“It’s okay.” We stay like that for a few minutes before Walt gets the clue to let go. We walk out of the room and to the front. I grab the papers regarding to the vaccinations he got today. After I get the papers, we head out of the doctor’s office and head to the car. Once we get to the car, we get in and I start the car up. I ask Walt something as we buckle up. 

“Is there anything you want to do while we’re here?” 

“Nothing I can think of.” 

“Do you just want to go home?” 

“Sure.” 

“Alright then.” I pull out of the spot and take off. Today was a very interesting day.

5k Survey LXXXVII

4451. What is your favorite waste of time (BESIDES this survey)? >> If I felt like this was a waste of time, I wouldn’t have gotten this far in it in the first place. Despite my frustration with some sections, I genuinely enjoy taking surveys and this one is no different. It’s the same thing with everything else I do -- if I truly felt like it was a waste, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t “waste” time, I devote time to things that make me feel some level of interested, engaged, entertained, or enlightened. 4452. How would you like to die? >> Gently. Feeling held by the universe. 4453. What are three words used in your area/dialect that many other areas/dialects wouldn't be familiar with? >> I’m not sure. 4454. What are the ages of the oldest and youngest person you've ever had sex with? >> Meh... 4455. What is the weirdest place you have ever woken up? Did you remember how you got there? >> I’ve never woken up anyplace weird with no recollection of how I got there. I’ve definitely slept in unorthodox places out of necessity, but that’s all.

4456. How do you feel when your partner is talking to an ex? >> This has no effect on me. 4457. Is there an unrequited (unreturned) love in your life? >> No. 4458. What is the most expensive gift you have ever given? received? >> I have no idea. 4459. List three traits that might help you to fall madly in love: >> --- 4460. Do children like you? >> I mean, children are individuals so not all of them are going to like me, which is absolutely fine. But for the most part I think I’m easy for children to get along with. I love playing with them and just finding out what they’re into and what they think is cool and just watching them interact with the world. 4461. If you found your child's diary would you read it? What if you found the diary of one of your parents? >> I absolutely would not fucking read it. In fact, I would buy them one with a lock and make sure they know they don’t have to give a key to anyone, not even me. I’d do that specifically so they can see that I value their privacy and want to encourage the setting of boundaries. (I would also want them to know that if something is really bad or important, they can come to me about it. I think making it clear that I trust them to not hide anything important from me might help with their likelihood to make that decision. But it’s a risk -- they still might keep it from me. All parenting decisions are risks, and I’d take responsibility for that risk.) This is all moot because I don’t plan on being a parent, but I do spend a lot of time thinking about how I would go about raising a child, for some reason, so that’s why my answer is so detailed, lol. 4462. Have you ever stalked or killed a wild animal? >> Nope. 4463. True or Fales. You are moody in the morning: woman first: baby corn freaks you out: Life is fair: 4464. Name something you are now prepared to reveal about yourself that you weren't ready to talk about in the past? >> I actually have a lot of feelings about a lot of things and they affect me a lot. I am not interested in letting people encourage me to suppress my feelings and act like I’m tough. I want my strength to come from my emotional integration, not to be a false front to hide my vulnerability. 4465. Name a talent someone has of which you are jealous: >> I’m envious of people who can worldbuild intricately and write a lot. I don’t think this is something I’m incapable of, exactly. I just feel inadequate and impostor-y sometimes and that’s okay. I still do my best. 4466. What would you think if you met yourself at a aprty? >> I don’t know how to answer this. 4467. What would you most likely complain about in a Hotel? >> I don’t complain about anything, most of the time. Hospitality employees are usually very good at their jobs, in my experience, and even if they were mediocre at their jobs I’d still appreciate what they do. Honestly, a hospitality worker would have to literally take a shit in the hotel bed before I start filing complaints, lmao. 4468. Agree or disagree. men need to be treated like children: ?? What even does this mean. Don’t treat anyone like a child unless they’re a child? it is possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time: Sure. you often feel pressured by others: Not often, but it happens from time to time. couples should live together before marriage: I think it’s a logical thing to do. 4469. If you owned a restaurant what kind of cuisine would you serve? >> I wouldn’t own a restaurant. 4470. Three words that describe your ideal day in bed are: >> My ideal day in bed? Like... I mean, that’s a lot of days (I get up from time to time and may even go outside and stuff but I do spend a large portion of many days just... vegging out in my room). 4471. If you had a ticket for a month is paradise where would you go? >> --- 4472. All men like to hear: All woman like to hear: 4473. If you are a woman what is your most masculine or macho trait or ability? If you are a man what is your most feminine trait or ability? >> :| 4474. How would you feel attending the wedding of an ex? >> If I’m attending their wedding, then obviously I’m happy for them and want to celebrate their joyous occasion. So....??? 4475. Fiction or nonfiction. You can lie with a straight face: I mean, probably. You pee in the shower: No. you prefer honesty even when it hurts: Yes. uncapped toothpaste causes problems: Uncapped toothpaste?? I’ve really not encountered this, people I’ve lived with put the caps on their toothpaste... 4476. What is the longest lust can last? >> ??? 4477. What would you like to experience while blindfolded? >> I don’t know... 4478. The most horrifying couple you know is: >> --- 4479. Name three things you have experianced that would shock your parents: >> --- 4480. The oddest thing you have ever put in your mouth is: >> I don’t know. 4481. Lie or truth. love is a battlefield: you watch too much tv: woman enjoy sex as much as men do: you are often tired: 4482. What is the craziest thing you've done for attention? >> I don’t think I’ve done anything crazy for attention. 4483. Do you believe in using the silent treatment? >> I would absolutely not do this to someone. I know how upsetting and crazy-making it is. 4484. Your most embarrassing thought: >> --- 4485. Your most prejudiced thought: >> I don’t know, man. How would I think of something like this off the top of my head? 4486. A shameful moment for you: >> ^ 4487. The biggest gamble of your life: >> --- 4488. What is your greatest weakness as a friend? >> ??? 4489. Yes or No. complaining is a release: I guess it can be. James Bond movies are sexy: I’ve never seen any. You feel better when you have a tan: I... am dark-skinned.... You sometimes eat your boogers: No. If yes, that's okay. 4490. Do you sometimes enjoy being mean? >> I don’t think so. Maybe like... in certain contexts. Like being mean in video games can be really fun sometimes, haha. And being a little mean in a kink setting can be fun too. 4491. Are you high maintenance? >> I don’t know how to answer this. 4492. Would you rather assume the role of sexual student or teacher? >> --- 4493. How many lovers do you consider to be too many? >> --- 4494. What fortune would you want to find in a fortune cookie? >> --- 4495. Nothing says lovin' like: >> ??? 4496. Have you seen Bowling for Columbine? If yes what'd you think of it? >> Nope. 4497. Do you overuse the word genius? >> I rarely use it, and when I do it’s usually in a casual manner, like saying “oh that’s genius” to something like making a grilled cheese in an air fryer. Or whatever. 4498. Are you proud of the history of your people? Why or why not? >> I... guess??? Like, I have a lot of feelings about what I know about the history of Black people in America (and Native people, and Caribbean people), and some of that is just a fierce pride in some of the things they’ve done, some of the values they’ve held on to, some of the successes they’ve fought for and won. But there’s so much more to history than just that. 4499. Do you think about world destruction? >> I mean, no, not really. 4500. What object could completely symbolize maleness? How about famaleness? >> I’m not the person to ask.
