october twenty-fourth

day twenty-four: james potter james forgets his gloves on a walk along the river | established relationship, fluff, first i love you | 1.2k

The city is lovely this time of year. People clinging to the evenings where a heat lamp is enough to convince everyone to sit outside, vendors selling scarves and hot nuts on the bridges. The days are getting shorter, yes, but you bask in the chill and the energy of it all. Autumn is a season of change, of preparation, and you adore it.

The path along the river is bustling, full of young people drinking beer and kids on skateboards and couples like you and James. You’re due to meet your friends for dinner in about an hour but you got here early to stop at a bookshop and just spend time together.

He’s bought you mulled wine and himself spiced cider. The cups are doing wonders for warming your hands, which are cold even through your gloves. James, however, has forgotten his entirely, and the tips of his long piano fingers are starting to look the wrong color.

“Are you sure you don’t want at least one of my gloves?” you ask him. He shakes his head and reaches for you with one hand. You twine your fingers together as if it’ll keep him warm. James is the kind of person who will not admit that he’s cold even as he’s freezing to death.

“I’m not sacrificing your fingers because of my idiocy, love,” he says. “I’ll be alright.”

You pout at him and he laughs.

“None of that, come on now.” He kisses the pout from your lips until you’re laughing.

“James, don’t spill my wine!”

He tugs you into his side. “Sorry, sorry.” He doesn’t sound sorry at all.

You study him as you walk. His hair is windswept by the breeze coming off the river, his glasses clean only because you cleaned them a few minutes ago. He did remember a scarf, one you knitted him last month in preparation for the cold. Maybe you should buy him a pair of gloves for every coat. You really wish he would look out for himself more, not just everyone around him. But you can handle it being your job.

“Do you think Marlene will be cross if we show up tipsy?” you ask.

He looks at you with amusement in his eyes. “Are you already? You’ve had less than one wine.”

“No!” He laughs. “I just think we should get another, since they’re so warming.” James has finished his and tosses it in a bin.

“You don’t need to worry about my body temperature,” he says. “I will be just fine.”

You grumble. You worry! How could you not? He’s your boyfriend.

The smooth sound of a cello drifts towards you as you walk. “Do you think the buskers are out?” you ask James.

“I love that guy with the tuba that spits fire.”

“Please tell me you don’t think you’re hearing a tuba right now, James.” He kisses your temple with a smile.

“No, love, I know what it is. Let’s find it.”

You end up having to walk under a bridge and through a narrow tunnel but you end up by the art museum James took you to on your first date. It’s a weird one, full of experimental art and big, open floors of interactive installations, but you’d been smitten with him immedietly.

“Good memories,” he says, as if he can read your mind.

“The best.” It’s you who presses a kiss to his cheek this time. “There’s the cellist. Shall we watch?”

James allows you to drag him to the edge of the small crowd that has gathered to listen. He stands behind you and, in a move that makes you feel slightly triumphant, wraps his arms around you and sticks his hands in your jacket pockets.

“You’re warm,” James says into your ear. You lean back into him, one hand on your wine and the other resting on his arm.

“You’re welcome.”

He sways you to the music. It’s like you’re in your own little world with James, sometimes. He has this ability to make everything else fade away, to make you feel like you’re the most special person in the universe, like he’d do anything for you. And you think he would. Your heart aches with the desire to tell him you love him, you realize, to whisper it in his ear every second. To shout it from the bridge so the whole city can hear. It hits you like a truck.

How did you not realize before?

Standing here with him, his hands in your pockets because he likes to be close to you and he knows you’ll keep him warm, is the best place you could be right now. You are happy. A laugh bubbles its way out of you as the cellist starts to play a love song you heard on the radio this morning.

“What’s with you?” James asks, tone cheeky. “Got the giggles?”

You keep laughing, turning your face so it’s in his neck while his hands are still in your pockets.

“God, I love you,” James says. He pulls his hands from your coat and cups your elbows instead and you stop laughing.

“James —” you say, turning in his hold.

“I shouldn’t have said that,” he mutters.

Oh. Ouch. “Did you not mean it?” He hears the hurt in your voice and his eyes snap to you, reading the devastation in your gaze.

He quickly cradles your face and presses his lips to your brow. God, his hands really are cold.

“Of course I did,” he says in a rush. “I love you,” he says again. It sends a thrill down to your toes. “I just…meant to tell you in a more romantic way. Candles and dinner, or something.”

He kisses your lips this time, quick and hard, and flops his forehead onto your shoulder. The cellist keeps his rhythm, oblivious to the enormity of this moment between you.

“James,” you say, feeling a bit giddy. He loves you. “James, come back.”

“No,” he says, voice muffled by your jacket. “I’m embarrassed.”

You tug on the hair at the nape of his neck and he rises. His glasses are cooked so you straighten them.

“This is just fine,” you say. “This is perfect, actually.”

“Oh, is it?” he scoffs. “You’re just humoring me.”

“Maybe I am,” you say. You tug off one glove so you can rest your bare palm on his face. He leans into it. “But it’s alright. That’s what you do when you love someone.”

His gaze brightens, his mouth tugs up at the corner. “That so? How do you know, pray tell?”

You scrunch up your nose at him for playing this game, but you love it. You love him. “Because I love you, you silly man.”

He closes his eyes for just one moment as if he’s gathering himself. “I love you,” he says again.

“You said that already.”

“I’ll say it a million times.” You throw your arms around his neck and he pulls you tight to him, picking you up and spinning you around just once. People are probably staring but you don’t care.

“See?” you say once he sets you down, a little breathless. “Plenty romantic.”

James presses his forehead to yours. “If you say so, darling.” The cello plays on.

@taznovembercelebration "super au" and "silly"

“Man,” Taako sighs, as quietly as possible. “This is the second time I’ve been a hostage this month.” He’s not tied up this time, at least, but he’s sitting in the back hallway of the bank and regretting his choice of errands today. The guy next to him nods. 

“You too, huh?” He’s pretty, and goth, very serious-with-a-side-of-secretly-goofy, and Taako wants to crack him like a nut. Shame they’re busy waiting for the supervillain of the week to either get got or get his private island and fourteen pounds of gummy worms, or fucking whatever. “It’s ridiculous. They need to spend less money on making flashy superheroes and more on just–security, infrastructure, safety, you know, mental health initiatives-”

“Or maybe we need to break down and be supervillains ourselves.” Taako shrugs, with an I’m JOKING I PROMISE…unless? Air about him. He’s sick of it. 

“Really?” Handsome asks, laughing a little. 

“Really,” Taako says, still kind of joking, but also kind of not joking. “Taako can barely get his errands done when there’s no Captain Backwards Lightning Man in the way, you know? It’s enough to make a guy wanna destroy some well-placed props.”

Handsome laughs. 

“You’re Taako, I take it?”

“In the flesh, skele-fellow. You?”

“Kravitz,” Kravitz says, and then, “Probably. If I’m going to be a villain, you don’t know that, and I’ll have to erase your memories, or something.”

“Or we could be a team,” Taako teases. “We could be the only ones who knew each other’s secret identities. You could come over for chicken alfredo, I could go to yours for game night, little bit of blackmail to keep things spicy-”

Kravitz laughs, and covers his mouth, but it must not be too loud, or maybe the gummy worm accords are going sour, because nothing comes of it except an embarrassing amount of affection from Taako. 

“I wish I had a power worth doing anything drastic about,” he admits, looking at Taako for comiseration or approval or something else that might lead to romance. 

“Yeah? Cha boi’s in the same boat, so keep paddling. Dumber supers have done worse.”

“Really? I mean- about your power, I remember, uh, Pickle Monster.”

“Who could forget.” Taako shakes his head solemnly. “Yeah, no, I can read minds, but only if it’s food related.”

“Seriously?” Kravitz grins. “I love specific powers, but that sort of thing drives me nuts in practice. Like- surely the universe could have been kinder?”

“Would it ever stoop so low?” Taako snorts. “No, seriously, try me.”

“Okay,” Kravitz says, screwing up his nose in the cutest stinking way Taako has ever seen. “What was my dinner last night?”

Taako looks him directly in the eye, feels that weird connection he gets with people sometimes, the sort of way that makes him sweaty and lonely. He steps right into Kravitz’s doorway, looks around his home, wonders if there’s more than meets the eye. Surely. It’s welcoming enough, maybe just because Kravitz is inviting him in, in this moment. Much less of a trespass than it usually is. 

He watches the memory unfold, and feels fond over this dork, who looks so business goth put together on the outside. 

“You air-fryered tater tot nachos,” Taako says, and Kravitz blinks, surprised, and Taako’s shunted right back out. 

“Really? You really got that much?”

“Oh, honey-nugget, I got more than that, I’m just trying to-”

“How much do you get?”

Taako grimaces. 

“Pretty much everything, especially if emotions are, uh, involved? You- uh. You poured frozen tater tots in the air fryer, dropped one on your bare foot and started bleeding, went to put a pokemon bandaid on it, and when it beeped for you to turn the food, and you tried to test one, because your timing was off because the package didn’t have air fryer instructions, you dropped it on your other bare foot and burnt it.” 

Kravitz’s mouth drops open. 

“Sorry?” Taako says, even sweatier. “You opened the door, kemosabe.” 

“Right,” Kravitz says, with a conspicuous glance at his shiny boy shoes. 

“I wasn’t trying to intrude,”

“No, I, get it, I, could have picked something else.” Kravitz clears his throat and loosens his black-on-black rose patterned tie. “Mine isn’t nearly as interesting.”

“Seriously?” Taako snorts. “Maybe you have an eight foot vertical leap, or your snot is acid.” 

“Is acid snot better than mind reading?”

“Dog, everything’s better than mind reading, do you know how fucking loud the world is all the goddamn time?”

“Touché.” Kravitz glances at the noise from the bank lobby, but nothing seems to come of it. He shifts his feet, looking at them again. “I mean, they were good tater tots.”

“Sometimes food that hurts fucks harder.” 

“So true?” Kravitz laughs. “I wish I had super healing, or super-not-being-a-dumbass, but, you know,”

“Man, if I was super-not-a-dumbass, I really could take over the world. Watch out, Townsville! Pew pew!” 

Kravitz looks at him with some kind of goopy eye disease that could be confused for fondness, if you were stupid, like Taako. 

“I just- so, see, I have this knife?”

“Yeah?” Taako looks him over for said knife, which he does not manage to produce. “Taken, was it?”

“Mhm,” Kravitz sighs, glancing at the lobby again. Some loud discussion is going on, between the somebody of police and TToday’s Evil Baddoer. “I can cut these little rifts with it, nothing huge, because it’s just a big fancy pocket knife, but I can store stuff in there, which is kind of neat. One time I climbed through and found myself somewhere else, but it was really difficult, on account of the small blade and all.”

“Yeah?” Taako’s heart pounds. “Seriously? Does it have to be the one knife?”

Kravitz pauses, and then turns to him directly. 

“I’ve only done it with the one knife, I guess. And a grapefruit spoon.” 

“What if-”

“Oh my god.”

“Hear me out-”

“Oh my god.”

Taako casts about for literally any kind of blade, fucking at all. There’s a letter opener that looks like a sword on the Mortgage Guy’s desk, and Taako checks out Super Badguy in the lobby, and then slowly, painfully, starts sneaking his way toward it. Kravitz chews his fingernails behind him, and truly fourteen thousand ice ages later, Taako returns, and hams up presenting the letter opener to Kravitz.

Kravitz stares at it, and hestiates. 

“What’s the worst that could happen?”

“It doesn’t work and you’re mad at me,” Kravitz admits, painfully honest. 

“What if it does work?”

“I’d take you out for dinner,” Kravitz admits, fully focused on the silver blade. 

“What kind?”

“Any sort of food you’d like?” And Taako steps into his mind one more time, slips in through the door, and finds himself in a nice restaurant across from Kravitz in a cute dark purple button up, slut that he is, one button open, just a hint, just a peek, and they kiss over the dessert, which costs way too much for crème brûlée, but Taako won’t tell him that, no sir.

And he zhoops right back out. 

“You have to do it,” he says, a little breathless. Kravitz looks at him, alarmed, and back at the letter opener, whcih he finally takes. He moves it around in the air, getting a feel for it, and then SWIPES–

And a flickering, dark tear in reality appears. Kravitz covers a gasp, Taako doesn’t, and certainly they’ll be spotted soon, but Kravitz tears and rips and hacks into the rip in the universe, and once he gets it big enough, tears at it with his hands, and then gets a knee in there, and there’s a sickening non-sound as it widens ever so slowly, achingly, and Taako watches with deep, embarrassing affection as Kravitz manages to clamber through, looking like an absolute idiot, and turns and reaches an arm out for Taako.

Fucking ROMANCE. 

“I’ve, gotta-”

“We’ll go around and help from the other side, Taako,” Kravitz promises. “It’ll just be way easier if I get literally anything sharper.” 

“Oh,” Taako says, relieved. And he jumps into Kravitz’s arms, because he has the chance, and it’d be more embarrassing if he didn’t take it. 

Any kisses between the jumping and the rescuing are off the record, and also private. So there.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch. 7 Minagoroshi pt. 33

I agonized about whether to make part of this post be a part of the last one. I don’t want it to look like I’m trying to drag out this chapter for longer than it is, I’m kind of just operating on how I feel like where it should end in terms of where the screenshots should stop.

I don’t know if you particularly care about my rationale for why I screenshot the way I do. The thought that goes into where and when to screenshot these. When this scene was happening it doesn’t really happen the way the screenshots imply, lot of text, then the poetic white screens. Sometimes the poetry seemed to happen at somewhat random times amid the dialogue, and I didn’t necessarily want to have another thirty to fifty screens of one sentence of dialogue.

Really curious why they opted to give Takano the Nazi skull there. In the remake art (in other scenes, this one particular shot is a console exclusive) it has something similar to an eagle design, and in the original art it’s just a beret with no ornamentation on it. I can only speculate as to why she has it, but it’s a very unfortunate choice since the rest of her military outfit doesn’t necessarily scream Nazi to me.

Zooming in on it blurs it to hell, but I assure you it doesn’t look like a Nazi eagle. Enough about the Nazis though.

We’ll get back to them in the next chapter.

I’m not so sure about this particular motive either. But I get ahead of myself.

My problem with her views that this action ascends her into godhood strikes me as a pretty misguided belief. After all, according to the manual, basically all information about the operation, the outbreak all of it is going to be buried. Maybe eventually in twenty years when they reopen the area someone might find out something, but not before then. It doesn’t explicitly say so, but I get the impression that all the soldiers and everyone involved in this cover-up is sworn to secrecy under pain of death. So she can’t exactly go around hinting at her involvement with the scheme.

Unless she plans to achieve some sort of godhood by “accidentally” leaking information about the outbreak on the nascent internet, but then she’s just one kook among many. Using the post-game TIP from Tsumihoroboshi for an example all the conspiracy nuts believe it to be aliens, not the work of Oyashiro. Same with the reality of Himatsubushi’s future where Akasaka and Ooishi don’t possess any of the knowledge about Oyashiro and so they’re operating under the faulty assumption it was the volcanic gas that killed these now two thousand villagers. Assuming of course the two are unrelated timelines, and all that.

I don’t know man, I just don’t think this particular plot is going to work out for her in the long run. It kind of seems to me that she’s more or less dooming herself to obscurity in the not too distant future.

I liked this little epilogue for the most part. I felt it conveyed the terror of a containment event really well, even if I didn’t think it stuck the landing very well. I wish I had more to say about it other than a generally enthusiastic thumbs up for it.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon | S1E3 Thoughts

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️ do not read below the cut unless you’re okay with spoilers

Positive Thoughts

I’m writing this like over a week after watching it so forgive me if I forget some stuff

Anyway… Daryl hot

I loved the Demimonde night club!! The vibes were super fun. I’ll be honest, I was very skeptical about the night club when I first heard about it, but I think they pulled it off really believably.

Loved the use of the catacombs. It’s so cool that the night club is actually located underground in the catacombs, too.

Daryl being absolutely done when they were talking about using the pigeons… so good

Laurent is pretty cute when he gets all happy seeing that photo of his mom 🥹 I like when he excitedly shows Daryl the photo

Isabelle seems so real and raw to me especially in this episode when she freezes up when the walkers show up. I love that she is having a real human reaction (fear). I feel like some people would call her “weak,” but I love it. It’s realistic because even those who are experienced with walkers would sometimes freeze up and get scared. It’s only human

Sylvie and that guy (I forgot his name sorry) are cute together… 👀 I hope neither of them die lol

I love Daryl’s perspective with wanting Laurent to be treated like a regular kid. I think it makes sense for him to want that for Laurent, and he’s right! I don’t think he should be treated like the messiah, but then again, Isabelle and Sylvie actually believe it, so I understand where they’re coming from too

Daryl saying “fuck this guy” about Quinn… I nutted 😮‍💨

Negative Thoughts

Again, don’t read if you can’t handle me being potentially a bit petty and complaining about stupid shit

Laurent is annoying me again. I just kinda hate the whole “I’m so smart I know so much” know-it-all stuff. I KNOW HES A KID but still. I’m allowed to find him annoying ok. And lowkey the fact that everyone thinks he’s so special bugs me idk why lol

Kinda wished they could’ve utilized the catacombs a bit more but maybe they’ll do that later idk

Neither Positive Nor Negative Thoughts

The pigeon thing… some are speculating that it was hinting at Daryl thinking about C*rol. Yeah I don’t subscribe to that belief

Field Trip to the Field Museum II - Members Night (Chicago, IL)

Hi! I went to the museum members night way back in April, and I’ve been meaning to write this ever since; and I finally got around to it! As with the first part, this is a self-insert imagine fic where the reader is an age regresser and the author is their caregiver. All pictures were taken by me (with permission from museum staff to post online). Also, heads up, this includes pictures of dinosaur bones, taxidermied animals, deceased animals in preservatives, LOTS of mounted insects and bugs (ya gal Eflen loves bugs), and a brief instance of anxiety. (Long story short, I have OCD and bumping into some people upset me IRL, and I decided to incorporate it.) Also under the cut ‘cause it’s long. 😆

You excited, kiddo? We’re gonna get to see some pretty cool stuff, things we wouldn’t normally get to see! This is gonna be so fun! Oh, look at this, sweetheart. There are table all over the museum with cool little pins. Wanna see how many we can find? Alrighty! Let’s go in!

Ooh, look! Such a cool little dinosaur- you’re right, it’s a stegosaurs! You’re pretty smart, aren’t you, pumpkin?

Watch your fingers, sweetie, the crab might pinch them! You’re right, this one’s dead… But maybe I’m a crab! Pinch! Oh, you’re too big for that kind of stuff? Sorry kiddo, I’ll try to remember.

Oh, check out this thing! Know what it is? A giant isopod? So freaking cool. Do you know if they bite? I’d like to hold one!

Pretty great view, huh? Look, they’ve got a t-Rex puppet down there! We’ll try to see it up close later.

Holy cow! So people found out a while ago that platypuses glow under UV light, but they only found out recently that other animals do too! And even crazier? Scientists still don’t know why! Nature is nuts.

So there’s some kinda creepy stuff in here- Okay, okay, I got it. Just let me know if it’s too much, okay?

Whoa… So these animals were mutants for some reason… No, I don’t think anybody knows for sure why things like this happen.

Some animals can live really good lives, even with these kind of issues.  But yeah, it’s a bummer when they don’t make it.

Jeez, it’s busy in here. Careful not to bump the bones, kiddo. Oh wow, look at this one! Came from a ground sloth… Can you believe how big they used to be?

Wow, look at these teeth! I wish I could take this one home, teeth are so cool.

Jeepers, what a skull…

Hey, what’s going on? Okay, deep breaths, sweetheart, deep breaths… Let’s go out in the hallway, okay?

Here, it’s quiet over here, you can sit down if you want- okay, you don’t have to. Can you tell me what’s wrong? Yeah, that room was pretty crowded, huh? I know you don’t like when people bump into you… What do you think will help you feel better? Yeah, when we get home you can take a bath- a shower, no problem. Is there anything else- No, sweetheart, I don’t think you’re being a baby. Everybody gets upset sometimes, and everybody cries sometimes. You’re still a big kid as long as you say you are. Okay? There you go. How about we take a break from the new stuff to look at the dinosaurs? Alright.

Looks like they brought a few new things in here… These bones are pretty cool, huh? I love how the gray and white looks. Why do you think it looks like that?

There’s a crowd around the table over here… Oh, it’s because they have pins. Do you want to wait here a second and I’ll get you a pin? No, I don’t mind. Okay, be back in a second.

So, how’re you feeling? Want to look at some of the stuff upstairs? Okay.

Oh, they’re talking about lichen in here- It’s not BORING! Look how cool these antlers look! You’d think they were tree branches if you didn’t know better.

Well, you can think what you like, but I think lichen is cool. … No, kiddo, I’m not angry. I’m just being silly. People like different things sometimes, it’s no big deal.

Oh, I didn’t know the museum had a library! No, they probably only have books about history and biology. But it’s always cool to see some new books, especially old books like that one, or- Oh!

Look at THIS! This book must be four feet across - at least! It’s massive! I’d love to look through the whole thing. What kinds of things would someone put in a book this big?

Oh, cool! They have a room just for bugs? Awesome! I wonder what ki- Walking sticks?! Oh my gosh, I didn’t know there were ones with wings!

Look how leafy that one is! Or… No, it’s not a real leaf. I thought maybe they stuck one in there to trick people.

Oh wow! Look how big these spiders are! I know some people are scared of them, but I think they’re amazing. And I’ve held a tarantula before - they’re very soft little critters.

Hm, I’m not sure I’d want to wear jewelry with bugs on it. That’s a little too much for me… I guess it works for other people, though, so it’s fine.

Oh my gosh, look at them! I wonder if bugs like these are where people got the idea of fairies. The one with the purple wings would definitely look like a fairy princess if you saw it from far away.

That reminds me, next year the seventeen-year cicada will be coming back to our area. They live underground for seventeen years, spend a couple weeks singing and laying eggs, and then they all die. Wild.

Ooh, some of these guys are creepy. I like scorpions, but they do scare me a little - and that’s good, since they can be dangerous. It’s smart to be at least a little afraid of dangerous things.

Holy cow, this big one looks like an owl! Yeah, if I’M getting freaked out, I bet all the predators are terrified.

Look at all the legs- Hey, I saw that! No, it was definitely a yawn. You getting tired? Yeah, I’m tired too. We’d better head out.

So, did you have a nice time? I’m glad. How’re you feeling? Yeah, you can still take a shower, no problem. Do you want to nap in the car and I’ll wake you when we get home? Okay.

Alright, all clean and ready for bed. Yeah, you got a pretty sweet set of buttons, huh? We’ll get some more for the collection next year.

Closing thoughts on Yes! Precure 5

This ended up being kind of a meh season. It didn’t have any glaring issues but also no particular highlights, and I guess the characters just didn’t do it for me.

Unsurprisingly Nozomi turned out to be the biggest issue, she is exactly the kind of friendly-energetic-impulsive pink heroine I regularly bitch about here. Though to be fair this is early for the Precure franchise so in that way she’s somewhat fresh, but I’m watching in 2023 after seeing dozens of magical girl shows and didn’t really enjoy myself. There was that one really good episode about her learning difficulties, so I was like okay now I like her, but then they didn’t do anything about it for the rest of the season and a lot of her screen time was just being pushy and annoying. Could explain some of that with that she’s 14 (and noticeably more childish than many of the other Precure heroines), but if you go that route then it’s a lot harder for me to swallow her being paired with her teacher.

Nozomi aside I did like the cast surprisingly much and it was nice that the girls had some unique relations among each other, like them being on different grades and some of them having been friends before the start of the show. Special shoutout to Rin and Karen’s relationship which got attention through the show. And they all had decent character arcs too and everyone got a fair amount of screen time, so I don’t really know why they didn’t grow on me more but I suppose sometimes stars just don’t align correctly.

I liked the Evil Organisation structure of the bad guys and the passive aggressive interactions, these guys definitely send the kind of work emails that get memed about. And the monster designs were probably my favourite in the franchise so far.

The final battle delivered Power of Hope, which I’m always ready for and the stakes were staky enough. I’ll also take talking the villain down instead of using violence, but that didn’t really work here, theme-wise it was fine but the end boss changed her mind way too fast. And also I think it was kind of stupid that the bad guys spend the entire season trying to steal the wish-granting macguffin from the Precures and prevent them from gathering 55 whatevers to power it up, but in the end the Cures succeed (of course) and the bad guys then manage to steal it once they’re finished, which makes the entire story kind of pointless. Like, you could have saved yourselves a lot of time and effort if you let the Cures do the collecting in peace and then swoop in at the last minute if that was so easy to begin with. At least in several other seasons the bad guys collect evil energy or whatever in every episode so it looks like they’re doing some progress.

GoGo is up next (after the movie), not particularly looking forward to it but I had no expectations on Max Heart and it ended up being better than the original so fingers crossed!

Talk Food to me

(Dieter x horror loving female)

Words: 737

Summary: you and Dieter are talking about food and it goes a little…unexpected

Warnings: some swearing, I will ruin Charlie and the Chocolate factory for you so…sorry

Check out masterlist here

Dieter was stuck in the middle of the desert for a week and was hanging out in his trailer feeling bored. At times like these, he missed your company. Everyone here was too serious to even crack a joke. His co-stars were method actors which drove him nuts. He wanted to talk to an actual human being.

He checked whether it was okay to call you and replied to his text that you were free to talk.

“Hi”

“Hi”

Both of you were feeling a little tentative, revolving around each other shyly in a cute way.

“So, you’re still out the desert?”

“Yup, it’s kinda boring.”

“It must look beautiful at night though.”

“You should see it.”

“Maybe”

A comfortable pause lingered between the two of you, two best friends just talking. If Dieter had a telephone cord, he’d be twirling it around him while lying on the trailer bed.

“How are the method actors?”

Dieter gave a frustrated groan, “Oh boy do I have a rant for you! Stupid Slade decided to improvise in the moment today to get and organic reaction,” the sarcasm was ripe, “Well he ended up pissing off both costume and props when he ripped his badge off and threw it into the desert. Literally into the desert.”

“Were there any spares?”

“Nope. So now we have to delay until they can find it or make a replacement. Common sense clearly goes out the window with going method.”

“If only he was playing a character with common sense.”

“I wish. So, did you do anything today?”

“I went to the market and got groceries.”

“That sounds way less boring than what I did. What did you buy?”

“You really want to know what I bought?”

“Entertain me”

“Let me see” you perused your mind over your newly purchased produce, “It’s mostly vegetables; sweet potato, cauliflower, carrot, capsicum..."

"What?"

"’It’s what you call a bell pepper.”

“Ah”

“I’m going to roast those.”

“Roast vegetables are so good,” he hummed.

“And then I got spinach, cucumber, avocado, lentils, chickpeas, couscous.”

Dieter chuckled, “Couscous.”

“And then I got halloumi.”

“What’s that?”

“Oh, it’s the best cheese. I call it squeaky cheese because it squeaks when you cut it, and then you can grill it so it’s nice and crispy.”

The moan Dieter gave out was almost sexual, “Damn, that sounds amazing.”

“Oh, it is. I’m going to make some salads with all the stuff I got.”

“Salad?”

“Salads that aren’t boring.”

“There can be not boring salads?”

“The ones I make aren’t boring.”

“I’ll have to try them sometime.”

“You’ll have to. Wait, aren’t you still on that diet you hate?”

He sighed in frustration of remembering that fact, “Oh, it’s evil. Want to know what my allocated snack was today?”

“What?”

“A measly handful of grapes.”

“Are they cotton candy flavoured at least?”

“Is that a horror film thing or an actual thing?”

“It’s both.”

Dieter lay back in shock at this fact, “Aw, I can’t even get nice flavoured grapes. I’m stuck here with boring flavoured grapes.”

You were in a teasing mood, “Well, I’m stuck here with my blueberries.”

“You have blueberries? I wish I had blueberries!”

“And these are super juicy ones.”

His voice lowered, “I love it when they’re super juicy.”

“I haven’t decided what to do with them yet. I want to make something special with them.”

“Special like what?”

“Oh, I don’t know, maybe pancakes.”

“I had a dream last night about pancakes.”

“Did you?”

The conversation was taking an unexpected change of tone, but you were both running with it.

“They were all covered in syrup and I woke up drooling.”

You softly laughed, “I was also thinking of making a pie.”

“A blueberry pie?”

You hummed in response, “Yeah, and have it with ice cream.”

“Blueberry pie with ice cream?” he was sounding flirty, “You better not go turning into a blueberry yourself.”

You were joining in the flirty banter, feeling brave, “What would you do if I did?”

“Well, I’d have to suck all that blueberry juice out of you.”

Your toes curled in delightfully delicious anticipation, “Yeah?”

“Yeah and…oh shit, they’re wanting me back on set, sorry.”

The flirty mood deflated, “That’s okay.”

“Hey, um, that was…weird but I liked it. Could we do that again?”

“Talk food? Sure, anytime.”

“Great, I lo…I love talking food with you.”

“I love talking food with you.”

hi hello, im in fob but don't know much about them other than like the music from 1st album to uhh american psycho, so i just wanted to ask if you'd tell me your thoughts on them (no pressure, i just found your fob posts really intriguing and kinda wanna learn more)

omgggg!!! yes!!! i adore them as people, especially because they don’t shy away from being complicated, they are a band that has been completely heart-on-their-sleeve honest about who they are, even when that vulnerability has generally garnered them ridicule and cruelty. they wear contradiction well, one of the few bands i think that truly understands the allure of contradiction. that they were suburban kids forged in the fires of the chicago hardcore scene, kids who fled those neighborhoods where they never quite fit in to the solace of loud thrashing basements, places where they still never quite fit in. that they started fall out boy for fun, a pop-punk passion project between pete and joe that became the band that changed their lives and legacies and brought us all together for the past 21 years. that all their paths had crossed through other bands, weaving in and out of the scene, but there was something magic about the fact that they ended up together, that precise configuration of people making music together. that all four of them were looking for something in band after band after band, but they didn’t find it until they found each other. they contradict their roots with their sound, their sound with patrick’s voice, their melodies with pete’s lyrics. their love and their hate, their public personas and the vulnerability of their music. their tenderness and their sharpness. they understand contradiction, i think, better than anyone.

i think another thing that i like about them is that they have been so open about their flaws and they have always been conscious about how that kind of vulnerability could foster backlash, scorn, and discomfort. pete has not only been open about being bipolar, his suicide attempt, the failures of relationships and friendships, but also the effects of being a person in a culture that demands so much from you, that wants to see your failure on the big screen. patrick has always been open about his self-doubt, his anger, the strain of perfectionism, how anxiety-inducing being so visible has been, how sometimes he doesn’t know how to handle that. joe has always been open about feeling creatively overlooked, about his anxiety, his depression, and his OCD, about the toll the journey has taken and how much work has been required to accept it. and andy is so fucking loyal, who’s stated he’s in this for life, he’s been so firm and strong in his beliefs and how living a life like this is challenging, and he’s genuinely so motivational without necessarily even meaning to be. they are fiercely dedicated to each other, they’ve always come to the others’ defense. people will call them sell outs, but they have always always always been underdogs, hated by the mainstream, their own scene, their own fanbase, but they always stayed true.

also they’re just FUN GUYS. when they were younger lads they talked about hot girls with the hushed giggles of bashful boys who have just entered 6th grade. they play pranks on each other (also watch pete getting punk’d by the band into thinking he killed santa claus in front of kids), they had a friend named dirty who toured with them just to throw himself off of ledges and take nut shots, i’ve seen pete drink his own pee by his own twisted games more times than i wish to count like *why* is his pee that color, i’ve seen him jump off of a roof and bother his mom while patrick helped her with groceries, he signs things petey and peter and peterpan and peterrabbit and blogged with a fervor i can’t even compare to and i’ve been on tumblr for 14 years. they bully each other like siblings and bicker like an old married quadruple and they are brothers and best friends and they’ve finally learned BOUNDARIES (i’m so happy for them). they are charming and sweet and funny dudes and most of all they are just some guys like they’re very very normal but they’re also weird girls i just love them!!! theyre my best friends we have been holding hands for most of my life. i hope this answered you’re question i am looking at it now and i did. not. mean. to type this much. i feel like i rambled so if you’re looking for more of a like cohesive history post or a lore post i can do that too just shoot me another message! THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS ASK I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY BEST FRIENDS FALL OUT BOY.

[golbrocklovely]

I’m not in the snc fandom by any means and I have no plan to do so but being just a causal fan of them, I have seen the way their fans act towards them, especially Colby. It always leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

I sincerely wish these guys would start setting more boundaries with their fandom. There are sometimes where I see replies to their tweets or just looking up their users on twitter because I’m a nosy rosey sometimes and the things some of their fans say to them, especially Colby is just horrendous and down right yucky. It seems to be getting worse in my end too. The way some of their fans treat Colby likes he’s stupid, slow or like a child is just so gross. He’s a human being. It’s one thing to make a joke, but it’s another thing to treat him like he was born literally yesterday. It sometimes feels like infantalazation. Like this is a huge problem and I just wish that Colby would put his foot down about it. Hell, when everytime there’s a girl involved in his life everything goes haywire towards him. I just feel so bad for him at this point. if I had fans and they were pulling stuff like this, I wound definitely say something, and start muting/ blocking people if it started getting too much. Maybe Colby hates confrontation which I can totally understand. Maybe he hates drama as well. But if his fans keep getting away with basically being overbearing and weird, they’re never gonna treat him like a human.

I also have a hunch that he might be neurodivergent and has anxiety. I see a lot of myself through him. He does a lot of things I do. But I don’t wanna diagnose him because I personally don’t know him like that. I just hope he has a good head on his shoulders when it comes to this type of stuff. and I also just hope one day some of his fans grow up and stop treating him like he’s a dummy when he’s a very intelligent person. It drives me nuts when people do that to him. He clearly is very smart and very empathetic. A bright soul who deserves so much better. 🩷

this ended up being extremely long so... sorry about that haha

i getchu. i understand not wanting to join this fandom. tbh i only really enjoy the fandom on here and that's about it. insta there barely is a fandom, the tiktok fandom is too young and just makes shit up 90% of the time, and twitter…. is insufferable lol

and i completely agree with you about the treatment of colby. it's a weird mix of both treating him like a sex doll and treating him like a baby, which makes both behaviors all the more gross.

like i'll be honest, i don't love all the decisions he makes, and i have talked about that on here countless times. however, i don't actively tell him on social media how to live his life (aka i don't @ him on twitter when he does something that annoys me like a lot of other fans do). and at the end of the day i accept whatever he wants to do with his life. me complaining on here about some of the questionable ppl he has in his life isn't even half as bad as what i've seen on twitter, especially when it comes to some of the girls he occasionally is seen with.

over the years it's gotten worse, and i'm not sure for what reason. it feels like the fans started out on the right foot. they care about colby and don't want to see him get hurt. and i get that, i feel the same way. but at the same time, he's an adult. and in life you're gonna make some dumb decisions, and be friends with dumb ppl that you shouldn't have been. and that's your choice. and that's your mistake to make.

i think part of it is a lot of fans think they are owed a part of colby's life and having a say in it. maybe bc they've put time, effort, and money into being a fan, maybe it's bc they feel like they are friends with him and thus think they can say shit that a friend would say even tho they are a complete stranger to him. and while i can understand somewhat why someone would feel that way briefly, it doesn't change the fact it's not true. you aren't owed anything just bc you've been here a long time or bc you buy merch. so what. you aren't special in either one of those regards.

and when it comes to colby and his dating life… oh boy, that's where most of the drama lies. again, a lot of it comes from fans not wanting him to date a questionable girl. understandable. i get that protectiveness. however it has become very apparent that NO GIRL is good enough for him. fill in the blank on whatever reason, it doesn't matter. there is not a single girl that exists that everyone in the fandom can agree on. and that just shows that a lot of the concern comes from both jealousy and, if we're being completely honest, misogyny.

certain fans are jealous they will never get a chance to be with him, no matter how many y/n insert fanfics they read. and no girl is good enough bc nine times out of ten the reason is bc of something sexist like she's a slut or a gold digger or isn't pretty enough or is too pretty or isn't as good as other girls.

my favorite phrase, highkey, is when a girl is seen with colby, ppl start hating on her and then when asked why someone doesn't like her they respond with "idk she just gives me a bad vibe." lmao happens like clockwork.

all of this is to say that a lot of fans, while they love colby, don't respect him. they don't trust him to make his own decisions bc in their minds, he can't make the "right" ones. and thus needs to smothered into making the right one. and if he doesn't do that, then he deserves to be bitched at for eternity.

tbh i'm surprised colby tolerates half the fanbase at this point. if the fandom isn't yelling at him for breathing wrong, they're making fun of him. and while it's fine to be playful and banter with him, there's a difference between a one off comment and constantly picking at everything he does down to whether or not he has facial hair. like… why are we talking about his body hair? yall are weird for that one.

if i was colby, i wouldn't have fans anymore. bc i would blocking ppl left right and center. idc that you supported me for a long time, if you're mean to me, you're gone. and i ain't gonna listen to (usually) a child yell at me for fucking a random girl (or maybe not even fucking a random girl). that's why last year i wanted him to go chaos mode. i wanted him to fuck every and any girl that said yes strictly so fans would come to the realization that YOU DON'T CONTROL HIM.

get over it or gtfo. it's really that simple.

and as for whether or not he's neurodivergent, that's obviously something he would have to explore himself. i personally have always thought he might secretly have depression and definitely anxiety since he's talked about that part himself. there's a lot of things he has done in the past that make me think there might be something under the surface and reminds me a lot back when i was in denial of what was going on mentally. and there are times he gets into funks, and you can just see the light drain out of him for a bit. but in the end, that's for him to explore and seek help for if he so chooses and feels the need to. i would hope if he truly did ever feel bad he would ask for help.

he's a very strong person and has such a love for life. i just hope he lives it to the fullest. i truly just want to see him happy.

15 Questions

Thanks for the tag Moya!

1. Are you named for anyone?

Technically yes. My middle name is a biblical one, and also my…. Aunt?? Cousin? I’ve met her but I think she’s my dad’s first cousin and I don’t know what that means I am to her.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Like… what type of cry? Sobbed? End of December. Cried? About a week ago. From laughter? Sunday night. My brother was building a clearance gingerbread house and the icing said “made in a nut free facility” and my brother leaned over to me and said “so no men there?” And I lost it. Later he just fucking leaned over and started to hands free eat the house and I lost it again. Just little tears? Last night. I saw an instagram reel and I got misty eyed. I don’t remember what it was about.

3. Do you have kids?

Haha no. I’m not strictly opposed? But I’m not fucking doing that by myself and relationships are real low priority to me.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I used to more. Not so much anymore?

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Mostly what they’re doing. And then if they seem happy or not.

6. What’s your eye color?

Blue

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Honestly neither but I guess happy endings. But not inspiring movies. I fucking hate inspiring movies I spent enough time in church having my emotions manipulated I’m not fucking paying to sit and do it again. Miss me with that shit.

8. Any special talents?

Talent? Uh, I have super flexible shoulders? I guess I would consider my natural aptitude to figure shit out as a talent? Other things I would consider as skills cause I worked for them. So like crafts and my flexibility and writing.

9. Where were you born?

Florida.

10. What are your hobbies?

You don’t have the time to have me list them. And they rotate pretty frequently. But!! I just got a drop spindle and I’m currently obsessed with it. But crafts are definitely a constant. Any craft, I’ve probably tried it once. I’m really not kidding.

11. Have any pets?

Not at the moment. I want rats someday but I’m so busy I wouldn’t be able to give them a good life 😞

12. What sports have you played?

As a child: basketball, soccer, football (like American football lol), tennis, cheerleading.

As an adults I’m pretty active but not really in organized sports. Now I’m doing mostly running, gymnastics, and pole dancing.

13. How tall are you?

5 foot….. 5??? 6???

14. Favorite subject in school?

I honestly liked most of it. I hated geometry tho. One I always wanted to do was Linguistic but alas, FL state law kept me from doing it. 😭 (not that like linguistics specifically is illegal, google excess credit hour laws)

15. Dream job?

Hahahah i don’t even know. I don’t particularly want to work. However I wish I could do animal education at a zoo. I would love that. I would love just answering questions about iguanas.

Oh. Oh wait… my like, dream unbelievable never going to happen job would be an acrobat. Fuck. When I was younger interacting with circus related material like movies or books or even color palets would make my heart hurt. Like sometimes I couldn’t interact with it because it just hurt so much. It’s just so cool and fucking magical and mesmerizing. I loved it. And even at like 15 I thought it was too late for me to ever be a part of that world.

And then when I turned 22 and had a fucking life meltdown, I was watching fucking unus anus and heard Ethan talking about gymnastics and decided to just… try something. And I quickly found out it wasn’t too late?? That I still had a chance to learn and try and experience circus arts??? Now I’ve tried acrobatics and aerial silks and contortion and pole and got on a trapeze once. And now it’s my motivation for how I take care of myself. I have to eat food and move my body and take care of myself. I have to because if I don’t I’ll never be able to try lyra/aerial hoop. I gotta keep going because I’ve got pole on Wednesday and I’m so close to the body spiral.

When I get emotionally low I remind myself I gotta keep going so I can get back to my circus arts.

(Please note I know circus haven’t always been good and nice and happy places. I get it. I know. I’m not talking about that)

The flaw with everyone’s “bondy and bob are releasing music” argument is that they’re independent bands that can do whatever, whenever. They’re basically just there having fun and doing what they love.

Catfish are a label band and with that comes a lot more people involved in their success. Catfish are on a growth trajectory with international touring needed, merch designs to be decided on, vinyl production, and way more. Van could be saying “hey I really like the album” and their label could say “nope, do this song different”. The music industry bureaucracy drives me nuts sometimes. So important to have creative freedom when you get a record deal contract cause usually it’s not in there.

This is good to know as I’m clueless when it comes to the music industry. Bondy and Bob must love the freedom but I remember Bondy saying he wished someone else was doing it. 😆 My only hope is that Van is happy and doesn’t lose himself entirely. He’s quite feisty in the studio! He did Jim Abbiss’s head in and him and Sardy had argumentative texts. I’m not sure about Jacknife Lee but I don’t think he was spared either. 😂

AO3 tos anon here, thank you for all the explanation.

I actually sometimes wonder myself what’s my stakes in following a lot of spntwitter drama 🙈 I think in this particular case, I just wanted to know the truth. I understand you don’t have concrete proof but as I said I take your word because I know you from outside of the twitter echo chamber and trust you. I also wanted to figure out if AO3 is basically deleting fics just like that but your explanation makes sense as to why they’re doing it.

The fact that reporting trolls should chill, though, I fully agree with.

GAH, THE TUMBEASTS ATE MY FIRST ANSWER. I'm still gonna end up being long winded about this though cuz it gets me pretty heated. I try not to talk about it, but then someone asks me about it and oh lord here I go lol

I honestly don't care if there's a ringleader or just a well organized group. I just wish that the Reporting Trolls would consider printed fics the same as classic 'zines and get the fuck over it. Reporting printed fics can bring down the attention of the IP holders too, so they're not the Fandom Heroes they think they're being.

And when it comes down to it, I don't think they're really trying to protect fandom. If that was the case, there wouldn't be fanfics publicly posted on Lulu that have been sitting their for several years. They're targeting specific creators who have gone out of their way to keep the links hidden or private. So I think there's a kernel of truth to the idea that they're doing this out of jealousy. If it's That One Author that seems to be the ringleader, she may be upset that other people are getting more attention than she does. If it's her fans, they may be upset that their favorite author isn't getting as much attention as they think she deserves. It's even possible that they're not aware of what they're really doing, so they fall back on "BUt pRoFIT".

This whole thing about "but Lulu makes money!" will forever drive me nuts. Lulu would make the same amount of money selling paper and ink on a book that's just 700 pages of the word "Orange" typed on repeat as they would selling paper and ink on a book that's 700 pages of my story. The paper and ink is only worth paying for because of me, and I'm not making any money from the work I'm doing.

Look I can prove that, at least :D

Hell, I'm losing money on it. I pay fanartists to create covers for me. I'm bad at formatting the PDF, so I pay people to format it properly for me. I've spent hundreds of dollars to make these prints look nice and semi-professional. I give away copies for free to the artists and the people who help me with the formatting, and some of these are over $20 because of how thick they are.

Everyone is getting something out of this EXCEPT for me!

*huffs and puffs in irritation*

The AO3 stuff is, unfortunately, squidgy. Over the years I've heard of other things getting reported on AO3 where authors have complained that they weren't given enough opportunity to clean up whatever the violation was, or the AO3 staff wouldn't/couldn't tell them where the violation was hiding. If something is reported, it's going to come down to a judgement call from an AO3 employee. As someone who has had to make judgement calls on things that are grey areas, I can tell you it's tough. And sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution, which is usually not in the customer's favor. Without knowing exactly what was behind the AO3 staff's decision to delete, I can't say whether their decision is fair or not. It is scary though, because it's hard to tell whether an offhand comment will get you in trouble or not, and it puts us all on edge when we hear about something getting deleted.

Anyway, sorry I went on a vent session again. I'm glad you got some answers that at least made you feel better ;D

Go inside Rey Mysterio’s mask collection

And it is being who took his mask it was not JC or Mary it was Tommy F who is bane And David Audette who is JC had an experience at Arkham Asylum and he went there and they held him there for a few days and they're saying that he's nuts and stuff. And he got really angry it was in the 50s. and he destroyed the place over and over he was wrecking the people that worked there and he killed a lot of them he's gassing them he hated them and turns out they were Joel Watts people and he took a lot of stuff and Dave had this way of talking to Joel and he left a note there and that note tells him why he's wrong and our son and daughter know the math and it's not that tough but he didn't like him for doing that and he got mad we started doing it to his brother he got really mad and he started to hit the **** **** **** over and over this is threatening him with it He went through the math with him and said they'll never make me a criminal and I'm going to sit here and just cut you the ribbons if you keep doing that stupid **** to him and he kept doing it and doing it and doing it and she got really angry and he says it's not alright for him to do it it says I wish you could get up and fight it he says I do sometimes because the prison system is after me too he smiles and says ohh yeah that stuff so it's time to turn into this big fight and he was happy about it and they said thank you and stuff to....t but really this is w and they said thank you and stuff to each other it worked out but really this is what the history is the mask comes from Mexico and our son and daughter were down there in the same places that he was. And he got the mask at the condo the huge building they stayed at he broke the slider door at.  He actually found it and it was JC and it was the mask of his friend mac Daddy but Tommy F took it from him before he could give it back and it's happened to our son but this happened at a bad time and Wanda actually mac daddy blamed JCA little bit and find out who took it and said he's doing this number and he's an **** and people are doing that stuff so JC figured out and Mary did too that the mask had something to do with Arkham Asylum. And it was the mask that Mac Daddy wore when he put Joel Watts in there and the character was close to Joel and it was close to that strange weird gay taller scott or whatever his name was joel up at Castle and he said I know who put me in here and then again I think it might be him and he's messed with JC and you did stuff because we because you're **** **** and you have people there but he's the one doing it. It goes beyond him it goes to these mac proper and you'll never accept it and I'm gonna have to take over but I'll tell you what how you can tell is because they have you look like them when you're there and they're the ones doing things to people and they put you there to blame you and they did it to me because of JC and he said wow that sucked it's like wherever you guys are you're these characters that represent the match proper and they're saying that you did all these things and you say it the other way around that you were there already in the disguise themselves as you but really your disguise does them and he said this is disgusting I can't stand it and he figured it out and he said this is what's happening so this is a very valuable conversation and this is what it's like if you're the wolf you know this stuff and we're telling you to back off our son

Thor Freya and yes macs do most of the hits. and have you too. your at less than two eprcent and usualy you hit friends and so on and in battle yur bosses. ugly scene here and big and not obvious to any here
