#admittedly i had to google it

[theparadoxmachine]

So you're telling me that Hutch calls Starsky Gordo all of once and it shows up in every other fanfic but twice calls him the name of a dashing hero from a romantic Scottish ballad who crashes his beloved's wedding to a terrible fiance and steals her away so they can ride off into the sunset on his noble steed and no one's doing anything with that? Do I have to do everything myself?

#starsky and hutch #I'm sure someone has done something with this #sadly a massive amount of fanfic has been lost #but i still feel like there should be more exploring this Lochinvar thing #admittedly i had to google it #but seriously hutch calls him that twice #once in foxy lady which was appropriate #and once i think in the heavyweight? #hutch using early 19th century scottish poetry to hint to Starsky he wants him to sweep him off his feet #so they can ride off into the sunset together is so on brand for hutch #one day Starsky's gonna be like who the hell is lochinvar #and huggy's just gonna hand him a book #by season 4 hutch has escalated to Shakespeare #using references he knows starsky doesn't know for maximum plausible deniability #oh hutch #you gotta use references he understands #if i could draw I'd recreate the balcony scene from r&j #with Starsky as Romeo and Hutch as...Julian?? #Hutch in a flowing white poet shirt #Starsky all dashing in a tunic and tights with a sword #i bet hutch has dreamed of that #but all this would require Hutch admitting that the torino is Starsky's noble steed #and we can't have that can we

The thought that goes into the fake science in dungeon meshi can be something so special actually. Using golems to explain crop rotation and how removing predators from an ecosystem can have knock-on effects. Talking about symbiotic relationships and parasites too! And characters are actually interested in the science so they keep explaining about it. Finally, some exposition I can get behind.

#I tried to google to see if the author had any bio/chem/agriculture qualifications but no luck with a brief search #but like. just from reading up to early vol 2 I'm seeing so many lines where the in-universe science draws from rl #this is so much better than Kill the Moon aka the ep of dw that was so bad on science it made me drop the series for years #(admittedly the really bad abortion metaphor also contributed towards that decision but shhh) #dungeon meshi #I should maybe make a readthrough tag but I feel like if I do that I'm going to intimidate myself out of reading

The other night, for some incomprehensible reason, I dreamed Bakugou and Shigaraki’s moms started dating while their kids were little

I haven’t watched or read MHA in years and only occasionally browse the tags out of curiosity, but I get the vague impression that certain events from the last couple chapters would make this scenario a bit awkward

#katsuki bakugou #mitsuki bakugou #nao shimura #tomura shigaraki #tenko shimura #my hero acedamia #boku no hero academia #mha #bnha #femslash #crackship #I have no idea how this scenario would even work #iirc in the dream bakugou’s parents were amicably divorced and coparented pretty well. no idea where Shigaraki’s dad was #hopefully Nao divorced his ass and got her kid in a safe spot so when his quirk manifested it was Less Dramatic/Traumatic #also I had no idea what Shigaraki’s mom looked like and I think in the dream she was actually Nana but when I googled his actual mom I #lowkey fell in love with her admittedly simple design. she just looks Nice next to Mitsuki ya dig? #also pretend I didn’t accidentally make Hana the younger sibling I saw a bunch of theories that she was Momo and assumed she was like a baby #cy fanart #cy art

[084392]

Perhaps I'm being overdramatic but it honestly kind of annoys me a little?? that in a lot of "kids" media the shorthand for making dragons or other big creatures(especially non mammalian ones) "cute" and or "likable" is by just making them act like a big cat and or dog😔

#Like yeah yeah I can get Why. But..... #Idk and admittedly I've never had a pet lizard or bird B4 so. I don't really know what cute things they do.... #Or don't do so.... #But. Surely they do things that could be considered “cute” or “cool” on their own besides *looks it up on google* #Shooting blood from their eyes.

[fagtainsparklez]

i’m not even into miraculous but i’m losing it at the fact that most of (if not all) of season 5’s storyboards and scripts got leaked because ALLEGEDLY the password to get into all the assets was “miraculous123#”. honestly you deserve to get your shit leaked if that’s the password you’re using for a show estimated to make over 20 million dollars in revenue

#icarus speaks #by storyboards i mean the videos. #not the individual frames. full episodes with sound. #i’m so obsessed how does this happen #admittedly tho i’m not surprised 💀 [REDACTED] is shared through google drive iirc #they just had it on a website here

Does anyone know a good LP of the FFXIII series?

Preferably one that includes the gameplay/field chatter but cuts out the extraneous battles, and preferably by someone who actually likes the game

#final fantasy xiii #final fantasy 13 #don't mind me having a moment #I want to experience the trilogy without having to actually play the trilogy ;w; #I still have my copy of XIII-2 though so I could play that one at least #FF13 had its flaws and I never really liked the gameplay admittedly #(I’m bad at it lol) #but I always liked the story and characters #I found one lp the other day but it’s pretty clear the player wasn’t a fan so hard to enjoy it #or maybe I should just give it another try #I was in high school when I failed to beat it before #I’d like to think im better at games now :) #(read: better at googling good paradigm setups)

WIP Wednesday, I guess (hey, I haven’t gone to sleep yet)

This bit, springing off of my tags from this post, shout outs to @purplelea, punched me in the face while I was trying to take a nap or at least think about the two fics I’m actually seriously working on, so I guess you’re going in the rotation.

“Besides, he’s already rejected me,” Joshua says.

Shiki and Beat turn toward him. “What, for real, yo?” Beat asks. Joshua nods.

“He never mentioned it to us,” Shiki says, frowning. “Just that you offered him your job again. Without the guns this time.”

Joshua frowns. “Yeah, and? He turned me down.” When this only makes them look more confused, he goes on. “Clearly if he were interested, he’d have said yes. I’d name him my eventual successor, we stay in the UG together and visit you guys, and then eventually when he was ready to be Composer I’d take over the Producer role, and we'd rule the city together. Obviously.”

“Or maybe he just ain’t interested in the job,” Beat says. Joshua looks at him like he just suggested the moon doesn’t exist. “What? Jus’ sayin’, he didn’t say anything 'bout that, yo.”

“It was implied.”

“In other words, you didn’t confess, and Cowards Club continues,” Shiki says. Beat nods. Joshua groans.

“Like it matters? Even if he didn’t turn me down,” Joshua says, clearly humoring them, “he’s obviously way more into you two than me. One of you should go for it.”

“Uh, no? How’s it obvious?” Beat asks. “‘Cuz I heard ‘im when you showed up, Priss. He wasn't that happy to see me, yo.”

Joshua looks at Shiki. “Neku broke back through a hole in reality to save Beat and punched the power overload right out of Minamimoto. There was glowing. Sparkles. I have seen every ill-conceived dramatic romantic gesture anyone’s ever committed in this city, and it topped all of them.”

#wips #writing with Regalli #joshbeatneshiki #I'm currently calling this one 'polyam disasters' #I keep editing a 'happily ever after' in and out of the end of Joshua's first bit but honestly I'll decide that WAY later #I refuse to let this one be done before the others #just on principle #so it'll probably be edited even more than what I usually do as I do a first pass #and this was definitely the 'write whatever I need to get those two core bits DOWN' section so it's not at ALL polished #this isn't the end of this scene - it's not even the end of that bit - but this was the parts that I went 'sigh. writing you I guess' #but it is definitely fun to just bounce three lovesick dumbasses off each other like bouncy balls #the club name was absolutely someone else's dubbing and it's your guess as to who #(not pictured: the COMPLETE AND UTTER EXHAUSTION of everyone else who's had to deal with them all being Sad and Lovesick for three years) #(also not pictured: Neku has no clue what's going on but while he's happy his best friends *cough* crushes *cough* #are all best friends themselves now he's admittedly feeling left out that apparently the three of them regularly hang out just on their own #also he's been doing some Googling since he got back which means that by default he is in possession of the Only Brain Cell Here.)

rambling b4 bed bc its 3:30am now. i need to remember to take more pics of my horny matsu doujins i know people would lose their shit if they saw my ridiculously expensive porn collection (too bad most of it is admittedly kinda lame yume/self insert doujins where they top you, theyre good at sex, And make you cum. unrealistic. fake and gay GXHNCHDCS I STILL LIKE EM)

i meant to start writing so much earlier tonight but my friend made a crossword for me and i had to solve it and make him one back and he's now stuck trying to remember where bones are buried under a church and i'm finally sitting down to focus on the orchid!

#making crosswords is surprisingly hard #admittedly i worked quite hard to include the word zeugma which did not work in my favour #hopefully he solves it #i had to google one of his clues #but now i get to write angst in space! #ao3 author #fanfic #writing

the thing about using duckduckgo is 1) image search is kinda balls 2) you have to explain to everyone why youre using duckduckgo and 3) instead of like idk sonic - Google Search or something like that its sonic at DuckDuckGo which doesnt feel right

#spouting to the void #not to crap on duckduckgo #ill admit id probably still be using google if it hadnt utterly devolved in the past few years #i mean. i was this time last year #although admittedly i was on a chromebook so i had no choice really #but anyway i did still use google search in firefox on occasion because duckduckgo isnt great #only reason i changed was because of palestine really

[blujayonthewing]

Indigo straight faced bullshits everyone about what happened to their eye but I kinda feel like maybe I should at least know the truth 🤔

#just thinking about their backstory and realizing '... wait should I be picturing them with an eyepatch or' #I know where and approximately when they got their Cool Eye but for how long did they have only one eye #in my heart I kinda want them to have been born without it tbh but #I don't think being born with an eye missing would leave you with a perfect empty socket and normal & functional eyelids :'D #they don't have any scars on their face although that would be easy to retcon they're just a oneshot character #but visible scarring WOULD spoil some of their lies about what happened (but admittedly lend credence to others) #... hmm on a very cursory google I did find one article about a baby girl born without one eye #who was (more or less) fitted with prosthetics to keep her skull from warping while it was still developing #so maybe they've just always had a glass eye ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #idk I just kinda want the real story to be really mundane without being embarrassing-- they're lying about it for the fun of it you know? #about me #my OCs #indigo

Era: Pre outbreak.

Part of the Shopping Spree, Hangout Dreams universe.

“Oh, fuck.”

“Shit, girl. Yer gon' be the death of me.”

You giggled against his lips, allowing him to push you down onto the bed. He followed soon after, moving to hover over you before reattaching his lips to yours hungrily. He used one of his hands to hold his weight up, the other one wandering over your exposed stomach. Your shirt was already disposed of and long forgotten, leaving you clad in only your shorts and bra.

To your surprise, when your hands wandered under Daryl's shirt, he only hesitated for a quick moment before withdrawing from the kiss and tugging his shirt over his head. Old and new scars were on display for you, leaving Daryl completely vulnerable under your gaze.

You smiled at him and pulled him down for another kiss, a silent way of thanking him for trusting you. It wasn't the first time that you had seen his scars—you had helped him with his wounds too many times too count, leaving you familiar with all of his scars—but you always tried to make sure that he knew you didn't judge him. You loved every part of him, scars and all.

You gasped against his lips when he let his hand trail down, his fingers lightly tracing over your clothed cunt. His tongue entered your mouth and he groaned at the taste. He pulled back momentarily to look at you, his pupils blown with lust.

“Fuck, yer so perfect,” he whispered, leaning down to leave a trail of kisses from your jaw to your neck.

You moaned when he kissed a particularly sensitive spot, leaning your head back to grant him better access. Your mind was starting to get cloudy, the only thought on your mind being how good Daryl was making you feel. Admittedly, you were also nervous, since this would be your first time doing something like this, but you trusted Daryl. He wouldn't ever hurt you.

In an unexpected move, you managed to roll you both over. Daryl's eyes slightly widened in wonder, before smiling and leaning up for another kiss. His hands settled on your waist, allowing you to take the reigns for the moment.

Daryl was thoroughly enjoying himself. However, when he felt you subconsciously grind your hips against his, his mind zoomed in and focused on one thing—you would regret this. You would regret giving your first time to someone like him. He would be terrible at this and you'd finally kick him to the curb after figuring it out. He didn't deserve to have you in this way, in your most vulnerable state.

You would regret him.

Daryl's breathing started becoming erratic. Although you could've easily misinterpreted it as him simply getting more turned on, something told you it wasn't that. You pulled back from the kiss and looked at him, noticing the slightly pained expression on his face. His breathing was quick and choked off, and he seemed to be in some sort of daze. You instantly knew something was wrong.

“Daryl, hey, look at me,” you whispered, cupping his cheek and gently urging him to look at you. When his blue eyes met yours, you could very clearly see the panic in them.

Instantly, all previous lustful thoughts left your mind, concern for your boyfriend taking root in their place. You knew exactly what was happening; Daryl was busy having a panic attack. You helped him into a sitting position, still straddling his lap. You grabbed his hand and placed it on your chest right above your heart, hoping to divert his attention away from whatever negative thoughts were plaguing his mind.

Still looking deeply into his eyes, you gently caressed his cheek with the hand that wasn't holding his over your heart. “Try to breathe with me, okay?” you whispered, starting to breathe in a controlled rhythm.

Daryl nodded and began to copy your breathing, his sounding more choked up than yours. He tightened his grip on your waist with his hand that was still resting there, desperately trying to ground himself back to reality. It took a while, with you soothingly rubbing your thumb over his cheekbone and breathing with him in a controlled rhythm, but soon he was calming down.

Daryl felt ashamed of himself. There the two of you were, half naked and sharing what should've been a blissful, enjoyable experience, and he let himself get into his own head. He let his own insecurities get in the way. He should've just sucked it up, but instead he just had to ruin the moment.

“M'sorry,” he muttered, looking down to avoid what he thought would've been a disappointed stare.

You frowned slightly and gently grabbed his face with both hands, urging him to look at you. “Hey, it's okay,” you assured him. When he shook his head in denial, your grip became more firm. “It is okay. Don't blame yourself for something that was out of your control, alright? Do you wanna talk about it?”

Daryl hesitated for a moment, but nodded slowly. “I jus' got into my own head. I was nervous and convinced myself ya would regret givin' yer virginity to me. Started feelin' overwhelmed. M'sorry.”

You pressed a kiss against his forehead, giving him a reassuring smile. “Don't be sorry. I get it. I was nervous too, you know? But I wouldn't have regretted anything. I trust you. There's no one I'd rather do this with. But it's okay if that doesn't happen right now. I'm ready whenever you are.”

Daryl gave you a small smile before leaning forward to rest his forehead against your shoulder. “M'still sorry. I was lookin' forward to this.”

“Me too, but it can wait. Let's get you taken care of, okay? And I don't wanna hear any buts, mister.”

Daryl nodded. “Alrigh',” he agreed, but made no effort to lift you off his lap. Instead, he pulled you closer to him, hugging you tightly. “Thank you fer understandin'.”

“Of course.”

There was a lot of things going through Daryl's mind at that moment. Despite your reassuring words, he still felt awful for what happened, his mind continuing to shame him. However, with your hands now gently threading through his hair to bring him some comfort, not giving a damn that you were still half naked and straddling him, he forced his mind to shut up.

And in that moment, it was confirmed in his mind—Daryl Dixon knew that he was never letting you go.

Back again with a second thought on Single mom reader and Pathetic!Simon.

He's probably the closest thing single mom has to something constant. She just moved, just had a baby, and left her boyfriend.

Now she has this man, who admittedly creeps her out, is always there when she needs him. A constant in her new life. Car broken? He's under it in the parking lot. Something in the apartment not working? He's standing at the door with a toolbox. You need help carrying groceries? Yes ma'am, I'm happy to help out.

So when she gets a clogged nip, she's awkwardly shuffling in front of his door, trying to figure out if this is an appropriate favor. But it hurts :((. And nothing else has worked.

He'd be thrilled.

ok so the baby's full and she can't use her hands to unclog because knowing that the pain is coming makes her weak.

she's also seen how simon always stares at the milk stains on her shirt, or when she's pumping.

also thrilled is an utter understatement.

for once, he's using his hand until he's like, google said that usually babies suck on the side of the clogged duct to help.

let down begins, her milk spurting into his mouth, coating his tongue and he's finished. whatever restraint he had are now long gone.

he'd beg her, on his rough, scarred knees to let him do what he's about to do.

don't hate him. please god no, he'd never be able to handle it.

he needs to do this, please don't look at him differently and then he shoves his hand in his pants 🤷🏻‍♀️

gulps down mouthfuls of milk, flicks her hardened nipples with his tongue and touches himself until he's slightly biting down on her tender flesh as he finishes, coating his jeans in his spend.

he's disgusting, as someone on my blog said i need him BIBLICALLY

[dduane]

it may interest you to know that because I continually forget on my SYWTBAW rereads and have to look up what, exactly, a Lotus Esprit looks like so many times, my Google homepage now always includes at least one article and/or sale of some kind of Lotus. It's been months. (And some of the offers have wormed their way into my very long term 'for future consideration' bucket...)

It's interesting to note that the classic 1983 model has routinely had a pretty good rep as an admittedly high-performance used car. Prices naturally vary, depending on where you're sourcing one and what kind of shape it's in. But you can plainly get pretty nice ones without breaking the bank (in sports car-money terms anyway).

The thought "Wouldn't it be cool to have one of those?" has crossed my mind more than once. But this far along in my life, I very much doubt just getting/having one could match the sheer open-mouthed rush of falling-in-love-with-hardware I first experienced on passing the Lotus showroom in Manhattan, seeing the Esprit in the window there, and realizing exactly what the sentient, predatory sports car in So You Want To Be A Wizard needed to look like.

It was a just-in-time addition, as the book was in copyedit at that point. I'd been groping around for something to fill in for the visual experience of falling down in front of a sports car that, when you sit up, appears to be smiiiiiiling at you. This happened to me with David Gerrold's Corvette, one time. But I knew that for SYW... I really needed something less, well, commonplace. And then the Lotus turned up right under my nose (around 5th and 30th or thereabouts, IIRC), and that was that.

Every now and then, one crosses my path in London, or here. Never fails to make me smile.
