A Writing Prompt - Yesterday I killed a goldfish...

or at least I was sure that I had killed a goldfish. 

It belonged to my brother. Frank Finatra was its name and to the best of my knowledge Frank had lived a very happy like with his tank mates Fish and Chips - a pair of bulging eyed black fish. Then my brother had asked me if I would be able to look after Frank and his tank mates while he was away for a couple of days. I thought that it would be ok. I was wrong. 

Twenty Four hours into my fish caring role and Frank was belly up in his tank with his tank mates looking up at him like he was some kind of fish Jesus and they were waiting for him to resurrect. For a brief moment I considered not telling my brother and just finding a good doupe. The thought disappeared as quickly as it appeared as I knew that he would figure out that it wasn’t Frank as soon as he saw him. So I instead did what any mature older sister would do…

I called Mum and asked that she break the news to my brother thinking that he would take it better that way. 

As Mum dealt with my brother, I dealt with Frank. 

I didn’t want to just dump him in the toilet just in case my brother wanted to have a funeral. So instead I scooped Frank up, wrapped him in some paper towel, popped him him a tupperware and stored him away in the freezer. With my fish mortician duties done, I turned my attention back to Fish and Chips, hoping that they would stay alive. 

And now I have woken up twenty four hours later to find three fish in the tank and one of those fish looked like Frank. 

Did my brother have more fish and I just forgot about one and that was the one that had died? I checked the notes that my brother had left. Nope. Three fish. Fish, Chips and Frank Finatra. I stared at the Frank doupe trying to work out what was going on. Maybe it was a prank to get back at me for Frank dying? No, my brother was a days drive away and even if he had driven home overnight his car was so loud I would have heard him. He was also not the most quiet person when entering the house either. No one else would have pulled a prank like this on me. 

I looked across the room at the freezer and wondered. Surely, not. Surely this was not Frank.

i feel bad about it but "he killed eighty people in two days" in The Avengers just doesn't seem like that high a number to me? it'd be high for a normal person, but in supervillainy terms that's... a bit crap, really isn't it?

no wonder Thor was so quick to say "he's adopted" the honour of the family is at stake here, you can't let the humans think that's the best any of them can do D:

[warlenys]

megamind 2 i will kill everyone involved in making that shit and then myself i do not have a notes app filled with essays about the perfection of that fucking movie just for some cunts who want money to turn it into a shitty low budget typical family franchise when i get my fucking hands on them

Opposite of an Intellectual

“The opposite of an intellectual… you really think you could do that, Caffrey?” Jones asked, reading through the cover description.

“Do what?” Neal responded, blinking at them in confusion. Instead of the overly innocent smile that would usually accompany a question like that from Neal, his face was just blank curiosity. It seemed that for once the con man wasn’t messing with them; he just hadn’t been paying attention. 

“Be the opposite of an intellectual,” Diana repeated for him with an incredulous chuckle. 

Neal’s brows furrowed lightly in confusion. ‘What’s an… intellectual?” he asked, seeming to struggle to recall the word. 

Diana scrutinized him, but despite all the years she had spent working with Neal Caffrey, she couldn’t find a single tell that he was lying. By all appearances, Neal Caffrey genuinely did not know the word ‘intellectual.’

“On second thought, that’s kinda scary,” Jones decided, taking an unconscious step backwards. “Please stop.” 

Neal finally broke, giving them a devious grin and a theatrical bow. Diana had to admit, seeing firsthand how convincingly Neal could become someone diametrically opposed to his actual self was a bit terrifying. The short demonstration had left her heart pounding and breathing slightly shallow. 

“Remember this the next time you doubt me,” Neal warned cheerfully, winking at them before sauntering away. Diana and Jones looked at each other once he was gone.

“That was scary, right?” Jones asked.

“Yeah,” Diana confirmed, “that was definitely scary.” 

Then an idea hit her. “I wanna see Peter’s reaction!”

October 4: Cinderella Moment

There was no Disney princess part of their love story.

No birds fluttering around them in the air, no perfectly sized shoe to say they’d found the right one. There were no balls, no cliche villains, no dragons to slay. It wasn’t grand gestures and sweeping declarations of love.

They’d earned a love like this. Soft. Quiet. Unassuming. Steady.

There was still bickering, still Harry’s dirty socks on the floor and Draco’s pretentious, expensive taste in… well, everything.

And it was good.

It was so good, the two of them, together, by choice and not by fate.

Theirs was a love that Harry didn’t doubt, couldn’t doubt, because it was something they worked for. It was something that both of them stubbornly held onto and fought for. It was theirs.

And it was enough.

Alright, took a break from Tumblr but I’m back and the amount of drafts I have accumulated is getting ridiculous. Would it be super annoying if I posted a bunch of them? It wouldn’t be well thought out stuff, and some of them are very unserious as well

The scene we never got. Maya and Carina finding their home

I decided to have some fun with this and actually write the scene in script format, because I can. This doesn't precisely follow the screenwriting rules, of course, because y'all need a little something more. (And I'll probably follow this up with a genuine narrative version of this idea later.) But! We're yolo-ing.

Crudely watermarked because this is mine, babies. Please don't steal or repost elsewhere or what-have-you.

Hi, I heard none of you wanted me to write more Star Rail. I wrote more Star Rail. This one's for you, Lumi <3 (And me, very much also for me.)

I like to call this one the Kafka Has Thicc Thighs Propaganda.

I was waiting for this moment @mango-water (hope I tagged the right person, if not have fun with the German lesson ig)

The surname "Ottovordemgentschenfelde" consists out of 5 words.

Otto

vor

dem

gentschen

felde

Otto ist a simple German name, but Americans and English people pronounce the letters differently than German people.

English people pronounce it o·tow

And German People o·too . Don't pronounce the second syllable like the way you would pronounce the word "too" but rather it's a hard t followed by a long o.

Vor is pronounced foor. And vor means "Infront of" in this context but can also mean before.

The word dem should be easy I'm not sure how to explain it but it is a simple article (Artikel) like das ,der,die etc. but in the Dativ form. if you're not familiar with German in German there are many Artikel but in English there is only "the"

gentschenfelde is another german surname but as obviously seen it can also be found in other longer surnames. It's pronounced gän•Tshen•fell•de

Make sure to pronounce the e at the end strongly and the second syllable should be pronounced without a pause.

Gentschen is a more Bavarian way to day gänse/gänschen(the cuter form of gänse) it just means goose.

And Felde is an old German way of saying Feld(Singular) or Felder (Plural) and just means field

Now just put it all together.

o•too foor dem gän•Tshen•fell•de

Stressed syllables I will write in uppercase to make it more clear:

oTtOvordEMgentSCHeNfelDE

Oh and "sch" is a seperate letter pronounced like "shhhhhh🤫" (sorry I don't know how to explain it otherwise )

8 syllables in total !!!what fun!!

If it's too difficult to understand from the written form alone just put the name Ottovordemgentschenfelde into Google translate and just klick at the pronunciation to compare:)

It's just a long word which makes it seem intimidating at times.
