re: hsr 2.1 spoilers (idk has it been long enough since? im just gonna tag it anyways to be safe x - x)
see, here was my thought with trying to find the memory zone victim list: I was really hoping that by getting the victim list I'd be able to see how or why memory zone memes exist/why do they attack, but what I did learn is they just attack whoever. There really isn't any big pattern between the different victims
But what I do notice is that in the victim list they use the word "abducted" rather than killed. So just "missing" instead of "dead." But it's traumatizing enough that eyewitnesses need to get their memory wiped by the Family, so... it could seem like they had been killed.
If you talk to one of the NPCs in Golden Hour Lew Archer, she talks about how she's jumped off the rails in Golden Hour several times now out of guilt for the case she had been trying to work on, which included getting a child killed in action, so whoever dies in a dream only just wakes up in reality. And then even in Black Swan's companion quest, you hear about Sparkle's victims being woken up after the attack and having to be taken care of.
If that's the case, maybe the "abduction" done by the memory zone memes causes the victims to not be able to return to reality.
But it's still weird though: why is it that Firefly splatters into water when she gets killed by the meme and why is that Robin's body remains? 🤔That was also something I was hoping the victim list would give me some ideas on, but guess not slakdajfh

Replying to your request for prompts:
Could you write a super cute fic of Reader being on the quest with the other dwarves, and having extreme menstrual cramps, and the dwarves being overly gentle, kind, and worrying? maybe even thorin uncharacteristically gently rubbing her back as she curls up beneath her blanket?
The Company When You Have Cramps
Tumblr media
warnings: female parts/female reader, menstruation, cramps, lmk if there's anything else !!
having woman parts sucked. and you were well aware of this when you set out on the journey to The Lonely Mountain with Thorin's company and prepared accordingly.
however, what you weren't prepared for, was cramps so bad they could rival the power of the gods (or so you thought).
you had carried on traveling for as long as could until the pain was quiet literally unbearable and you were ready to double over and just lay in the middle of the road.
at first you thought that the others would be mad or just tell you to suck it up and keep moving, but actually it was the exact opposite. they stopped and started setting up camp for the night and Oin even asked why you didn't speak up sooner seeing as you where in so much discomfort.
they didn't have any issues with you rolling out your bed mat and curling up like a ball with your blanket while they set up camp. you wished you help but you were in so much pain you didn't even think you could get up if you wanted to.
Bomber started cooking shortly after everything was set up and the fire was started. Oin had mixed together some herbs and it dulled the pain slightly but it wasn't much help, you were still in a lot of pain.
dwarves don't have a lot of women in their ranks, so imagine they take these struggles and the pain that women go though very seriously. they treat their women with the upmost respect and care.
as you laid there curled up with your head just barely peaking out from over your blanket Thorin came and squatted down in front of you. he has a sister, so I imagine he's pretty familiar with the struggles you're dealing with.
"how are you feeling?" he asks and after a moment you sit up properly next to him. "pretty shit actually."
he chuckles at your remark and hands you some warm soup, when you take it he moves his hand away to rub your back soothingly. the others are pretty preoccupied so they don't notice his sweet gesture, but you're very grateful for it.
Oin gives you more herbs after you eat and Ori joins you for a bit to talk and ask if you're alright. Fili and Kili also join you to joke around for a bit and try and get you to take your mind off the miserable state you were in. this actually works.
Bilbo also joins in on just talking with you when the others have to go do stuff like snuff out the fire or start their turn keeping watch. he brings you water and snacks/more food because food makes everything better. He is also the only one who thought to get something heated for you to put on your stomach.
he takes your water pack and as the fire is going down he places it close by and lets it heat up for a while, then he gives it you. he's very sad he doesn't have tea to offer you.
every once in a while someone will come up to you and ask if you're ok and if you need anything. just as everyone was getting ready for bed Thorin checks on you again and Oin gives you some herbs for sleep.
when you wake up you're convinced that whatever Oin gave you before you went to sleep wasn't just to ease pain and make you tired because you felt better than ever. you definitely had a spring in your step for the rest of the day.
the company was glad to see you feeling better and you helped them clean up and get back on the road. no one complained about having to stop and instead checked up on you throughout the journey to make sure you were still feeling ok.
anyway all of these guys are angles and I love them. they would def be worried and would tell you that if you're ever in pain from cramps or something again to let them know so they could stop for a bit and give you herbs.
(also if Gandalf was around when you were dealing with all that he def would've sat there with his pipe and let you smoke some of it. You know, just to keep you relaxed lol).

Ghoul School
Tumblr media
prompt: you, Lucky, Phoebe, Trevor, and Lars go to investigate a spirit infested school, but ends badly for you.
Ummm basically enemies to lovers?? idrk tbh LOL
warnings: idk scary stuff? cussing! sexual tension! um you smoke 1 cigarette and thats it. GORE!!!!!!!
a/n: I’ve been thinking of this since I saw the movie…
*THIS IS A SUPER LONG STORY!!!*
“A school? Are you serious, Lars?” You mutter, running a hand down your face and sighing.
“I wish. What’s your grudge against a school anyway?” Lars said, cocking an eyebrow at you as he turned to look at you.
“Well I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that kids still go there. It makes me sick how they have to experience that while being in an environment where it’s supposed to be safe and welcoming.” You explain, tapping your fingers nervously on your desk. Behind you, Lars sighed,
“Well that’s why we’re going innit? So stop worrying about it so much.” You snapped your head when heard the door open. In trudged a slime covered Trevor, Lucky, and Phoebe.
“Lars, I need your help with something!” Lucky called. Lars stood and strode to her, his eyes lingered on you for a little longer than they should’ve. Trevor had a proton pack on his back, which was slightly smoking from the interior.
"Piece of shit only fizzed when we tried to turn it on, know a way to fix it?" Trevor asked, gazing up at Lars. Lars' face was stone cold, probably because he had to deal with the dumb shit Trevor stirred up.
"First off, it's not a piece of shit. Second off, did you even try to figure it out?" Lars scoffed, eyebrows drawn together in a scowl.
"Give it to me, I'll see what I can do." He sighed, obviously not wanting to deal with him anymore. Trevor basically shoved the proton pack into Lars’ arms, which didn't waiver when he received it. Hot. You thought. Lars trudged to his station and set the proton pack down. He removed the protective covering, and coughed when smoke blasted in his face. You snickered, which earned an unimpressed glare from him. Lucky appeared beside you, ready to talk about what else you've come up with her to test.
"What is it?" She asked, tinkering with the item on the desk.
"You know how there's buckshot for a shotgun? I've figured out how to compress protons into little pellets and create a buckshot-type stream." You explained, showing her how it would work on a sheet of paper. You heard Lars muttering about something, though you brushed it off. You handed Lucky a few pellets, which contained about 12 rounds of buckshot each. She eagerly shot off into the test room, excited to try it out. With nothing else to do, you shuffled behind Lars, peering over his shoulder to watch his hands work efficiently. Lars really didn't know you were there, truly he didn't. So when he turned around to go get something from his desk, he jumped back.
"Good Christ you scared the shit out of me!" Lars exclaimed, putting a hand on his chest and letting out a big sigh. He shoved his glasses back up his face and ran a hand through his hair.
"I'm sorry! I just wanted to watch you work..." You trailed off, staring at the ground in embarrassment.
"Well maybe next time maybe fucking keep to yourself." He snapped, brushing past you, his hand grazing yours. You just stood there, hands clenched and cheeks burning in embarrassment. Phoebe stood next to you, putting a hand on your arm and whispering,
"It's ok, really, he doesn't mean it."
You couldn't help the tear that slithered down your cheek. Blinking away the rest of the tears, you muttered an 'excuse me' and walked outside of the lab. Taking a left, you headed through the doors to the cool breeze outside. Stuffing your hand in you pocket, your hand found purchase on the cig case you had. Sliding one out of it and grabbing your lighter, you lit the cig up and shoved the lighter back into your left pocket. You sat against the wall and pulled your knees to your chest. Hearing the doors open, you see Trevor walk out. He spots you and slides down the wall, sitting next to you.
"It's not your fault. It really isn't." Trevor offered, watching you let out a sigh, smoke going with it. You laugh, dragging a hand down your face.
"Listen, don't ever fall in love, man. Shit sucks." You sighed, resting your head against the cool brick. Trevor started to say something but the rest of the three burst through the doors. Lars was wearing his red jacket, walking towards the car. Lucky was carrying yours in her arm, right on the heels of Lars. He spotted you and Trevor sitting down against the wall. Trevor hopped up, offering you a kind hand. You took it, cigarette still in hand.
"Put that shit out." Lars commanded, crossing his arms. You glared at him before taking a long drag and blowing the smoke out. You dropped the rest on the ground, twisting your foot against it which successfully put it out.
"Happy?" You huffed, throwing your arms out in surrender. He just stared at you before pushing past you to get to the car. 'Bitch' You mutter under your breath. God he’s insufferable. Following them, you hopped into the passage seat. Lucky handed you your red jacket, which you put on before you buckled up. You zipped it up all the way burying your face in the collar. Lars watched you from his peripheral, drumming his fingers on the wheel.
“Are gonna stare or drive the goddamn car?” You snapped, turning to gaze at him. His hand tightened on the wheel and started to drive.
To say that Lars was a good driver was a pretty big overstatement. You were even lucky you made it to the school alive, much less in once piece.
“You are never ever driving again, Lars.” You said, stumbling out of the car as a wave of nausea hits you.
“Stuff it.” He replied, pushing up his broken glasses. You turned your gaze to the school, which stood ominously in the distance. You shivered, which didn’t go unnoticed by Lars. He took a small step closer to you, his hand ghosting the small of your back. You jumped slightly at his feather touch, but relished it. Lars flicked on your switch, making your proton pack hum with the familiar ‘whirring’ sound. You walked to the front steps, pushing open the two massive double wooden doors. You were blasted by a cold air, which you stumbled back from.
“S-shit.” You muttered, hands shaking ever so slightly. You reached for your flashlight, but froze when you saw a shadow figure dart through the darkness.
“Lars.” You whispered, a lump forming in your throat. Lars was off busy helping the others get their packs on, which meant you were the only one at the front. You felt something tugging you forward. You stumbled back into the school following the tugging sensation to a room downstairs.
Lars looked up, about to ask you something, when he noticed you were gone.
“Where the bloody hell did Y/N go?” He asked, looking around. His question was answered when he heard your frantic screams coming from inside of the building. They all looked at each other, then bolted to the building.
The building was absolutely freezing. That you were certain of. The frigid temperature fucked a little with your head, at least that’s what you can conclude. You found that being able to see in the dark was not your forte, which caused you to fall down a flight of stairs.
“OH FUCKING SHIT—!” You screech, tumbling down the stairs. You landed with your head cracking against the cold floor. Groaning, you tried to lift your head, but you felt like you were spinning like a top. You eventually stood, swaying slightly after. You blinked a few times, holding your head in your hands. In the corner of your eye, you could see another shadow figure. It was tall, tall enough to reach the ceiling. It started to approach you, but you let out a scream, starting to run back up the stairs. You felt a push, then you tumbled back down the stairs, smashing your head into the pavement again. You landed on your knee, successfully snapping the bone in your shin. You let out another bloodcurdling scream, spitting out blood in the process.
You felt lightheaded as blood spilled from your shin and lips, dribbling down your chin and neck. You were in too much pain to cry as you crumpled to the floor again. You heard all three of them yelling your name, but you couldn’t yell back. Instead, you pulled yourself across the floor, leaving a long streak of blood as you went. With as much effort as you could muster, you pulled yourself to the steps. It took everything for you to scream,
“LARS!!!”
Footsteps could be heard, which sounded like heavy boots clomping towards you. You clawed at the steps, trying to grip anything that you could to pull yourself up. The blond man appeared in the doorway, shining a flashlight down the stairwell. Lars hair was tousled, eyes wide. You make out how he was panting, as well as a horrified look painted across his face.
“oh my god.” Was all he said. He rushed down the stairwell to get you. You couldn’t make out much of anything, you kept fading in and out of consciousness. His hands, his strong and elegant hands held your face as he tried to keep you awake. Your breaths became labored again as you felt extreme pain rippling through your limbs. You let out another scream, which was muffled by Lars chest as he picked you up and started to rush you outside. One of his hands found purchase in your hair, gently stroking it with his thumb as he ran to the car.
Lars felt like it took years to make it to the hospital. His red jacket was drenched in your blood, but he couldn’t care less about what he looked like as he rushed you into the ER. Immediately after, you were rushed into a room, where you would reside for God knows how long. Lars sat next to Lucky, his face grim. He didn’t care how long he had to wait to see you again, just as long as he could see you. Lars stayed there all night, into the morning to be able to see you. When they told him that he could see you, he ran to your room as fast as he could. There you laid, eyes closed, face peaceful. When you heard the footsteps, you opened your eyes and found the blond man standing in your doorway.
“Bloody hell, I thought I’d never see you again.” Lars breathed as he approached your right side. Your hand lay limp on the top of the bedsheet. He brought up a chair and sat, taking your hand and lacing his fingers with yours.
“I was so scared that you were going to die, I couldn’t bear to see it.” He further explained. You smiled weakly and croaked,
“Are you being nice right now? That’s so unlike you Lars.”
Before you said anything else, Lars pressed a kiss to your lips. It wasn’t your ideal first kiss with him, but you relished the feeling.
“I didn’t save you because I thought it was the good thing to do, I saved you because I love you.” Lars whispered, his nose brushing yours.
“God I love you too, Lars.” You whispered back.

Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Part 12 : The Untethering)
Summary: Jacob Black, alpha of his pack, would never fall in love with a bloodsucker, much less imprint on one. The problem is that Y/N Swan was human…until she wasn’t anymore.
Warning: Suggestive scenes, proceed with caution.
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
The first week in Alaska is spent wrapped up in each other.
“I love you so much, Jacob.” She tells him, like a broken record. “I love you.”
He doesn’t remember much of anything else for those first few days. Just her. Her arms around him, her fingers in his hair. His never ending plea, “bite me.”
“We shouldn’t.” Y/N reminds him, that’s what got them here.
“Please.” Jacob never stills, restless and ready to come out of his skin. Let me be useful to you.
“Jacob, you are everything to me.” Y/N cups his face, “you’re irreplaceable. You don’t need to give me anything else.”
He pins those same gentle hands above her head, kissing Y/N rough and punishing. Stroking his thumb over the charm bracelet at her wrist. “It’s not enough.” He wants to give until there is nothing left of him.
“Jacob,” she tugs against his hold.
“Shh,” he hushes her, pupils blown, out of his mind. “Don’t do that, honey. Gonna make me phase and we’ll spend the day putting you back together.” Relax.
Y/N’s eyes roll back in her head.
He traces her lips, opening her mouth slightly, skating the pad of his index finger across her teeth. “So pretty.” He doesn’t mind her icy skin, her rigid limbs or her perfect teeth, made to sink into his neck. I love you.
Her heart aches, feeling the weight of his emotions and her own. I’m dying.
“I’m gonna make it better.” Jacob promises, “make it all go away.”
Y/N nods.
“But you have to listen to me.” Jacob insists.
Her chest heaves, sucking in an unnecessary breath to elevate her discomfort. “I can’t.” I can’t risk it, I can’t hurt you.
This is not your fault. “This would’ve happened anyway.”
The world narrows before exploding into a kaleidoscope of color.
Y/N sees Jacob, every version of him to exist dances before her eyes. Past and present all tangled into one.
A piece of paper, something they signed in blood, with shaking hands and tears in their eyes, while inhabiting other bodies. A promise, an agreement, tying their souls together. Y/N comes back to herself, to the vessel over which she reigns.
Jacob is panting, his head resting against her chest.
“Jake?" Y/N whispers, he'll always be Jacob to her. No matter the long list of names she's called him before.
"Are you ok?" He asks.
"I think so." She nods, "are you?"
————————————————————————-
The second week is better, Jacob doesn’t fight sleep and Y/N returns all her missed calls from back home.
Where are you?
When will you be back?
Are you ok?
Is Jacob is ok?
He is now and that’s all that matters.
Their escape from reality comes to an end a few days later.
“I can’t hold you hostage here forever, honey.” Jacob sighs. “Charlie is worried, I know Ness and Bella miss you.”
“I’m sure they’re doing just fine without me.”
Jacob knocks her shoulder. “I need to get back to the pack.”
“Are you sure you’re ok to go home?” Y/N whispers.
“I feel better now.” Jacob assures her, “I’m me again. You don’t need to worry.”
“I worry about you, Jacob. The other…stuff doesn’t bother me.” She’ll hardly complain if he drags her back here again to blow off steam.
He presses a kiss to her forehead, “let’s go home.”
————————————————————————
Y/N goes back to Charlie’s, spending the afternoon with her father. Attempting to explain what happened although she isn’t sure herself.
“I love ya,” is all Charlie says. “No matter what. I’m glad you’re back.” He pulls her in for a hug.
“I love you too, dad.” Y/N is careful not to squeeze him too hard. Her cell phone buzzes to life, causing them to break apart. “I need to-”
“Go,” Charlie shoos her away, turning his attention back to the game.
Y/N hurries up to her room, closing the door behind her. “Hello?”
“Y/N, it’s Sam.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Jacob is-” Sam’s voice is cut off by a tortured howl.
“Is that him?” Y/N chokes out.
“We delivered some news, he’s not taking it well.” Sam says, between gritted teeth. More whining and howling. “I think it’s best if you come.”
“Is he hurt?” Y/N is out the door, sprinting towards the reservation.
“Not physically, no. We’ll be waiting at Billy’s.” Sam ends the call.
Y/N arrives within minutes, greeted by the fur of the reddish brown wolf. He looks fine. “Jacob, what’s wrong?”
He lowers his head onto his paws at her feet.
Y/N kneels down in the dirt. “It’s ok.” She strokes a hand along his back. The muscles of which twitch with his uneven breath. “It’s ok.” She wishes she could hear him again, it’d come in handy at times like this.
He noses at her, whining low in his throat.
Y/N tries not to think about this much, what she is, what he is…what they are. As long as Y/N and Jacob exist somewhere inside the blood drinking demon and the giant wolf, she doesn’t have to think about it. But the painful truth is hard to ignore when she’s trying to envelop his towering stature with her icy arms and she can’t even hug him properly.
Jacob returns to his human form, curling around Y/N without a word.
“What happened?” She demands.
“Give me a minute, ok?” Jacob murmurs, brushing his lips against hers. “This isn’t really a conversation I want to have with you naked.”
Y/N nods, desperate to lighten the mood. “You’re right, I could get distracted.”
Jake chuckles, despite himself, “that’s not what I’m worried about.”
Sam tosses a pair of briefs and shorts down from Billy’s porch.
“Thank you,” Y/N waves. Now left to wonder how long he’s been standing there.
Sam gives a curt nod, retreating into the house.
Y/N rises to her feet, brushing dried grass from her jeans. Waiting for Jacob to finish getting dressed.
“We should go in.” Jake reaches for her hand. Crossing the threshold of his childhood home to find Sam and Billy seated at the table.
“Wanna tell me what the hell’s going on?” Y/N arches a brow.
“Sam saw what happened in Denali.” Jacob explains, resting a hand on her back.
Y/N averts her eyes. Oh.
“Apparently, the agreement we signed before we were us, is still valid.”
“What do you mean?” Y/N can’t remember what it said. This whole reincarnation thing is becoming a pain in the ass.
"It's a very old practice.” Sam explains, “I had to do some heavy lifting on our end to get any information and Billy was looking into it for years before that.”
“You knew about this?” Jacob turns to his father in disbelief.
"I had a hunch."
“And you didn’t say anything?”
Billy square his shoulders, "this is heavy, Jacob. I hoped you wouldn't have to carry it."
"So what does it mean?" Y/N asks.
“There was a treaty forged by the elders of our tribe, after making some powerful enemies. The war was long, fought until neither side had anything left to bargain with. The chief's son and the opposing tribe leader's daughter entered into an agreement, binding their blood and their souls. This covenant brought years of peace and prosperity. They built a better life on the ashes of what had been.” Billy presses on.
“These souls are called upon in times of peril, to ensure the survival of our tribe.” Sam begins pacing behind Billy’s chair.
"So all of this happened because of something we were forced into centuries ago.” Jacob spits.
“I’m sorry this happened, truly, I am. But telling you sooner wouldn’t have changed anything.” Billy says, “I wanted you to have a normal life together, to be kids. Who didn’t have to worry about the pack, the tribe, the contract-”
“You could’ve given me a heads up. Maybe I could’ve saved her!” Jacob seethes, “I would’ve had the pack run patrols, I would’ve made sure she was safe and I sure as hell wouldn’t have taken her to the movies that night.”
“Listen to yourself!” Billy slams his fist against the table. “Do you think that would’ve made her happy?”
“I don’t know about happy, but atleast she’d be alive!”
“Y/N is still here, Jacob. She’s not dead and neither are you.”
“Is that supposed to make me feel better?”
Y/N crosses both arms over her chest.
“I’m allowed to be upset when she gets hurt.”Jacob growls. “She was writhing in agony for three days and there was nothing I could do. Now her throat is on fire anytime she’s in the same room as a human. You don’t get to tell me how to feel about watching the person I love suffer! You act like I’m supposed to be grateful for it. She’s my-” lover, enemy, soulmate. “She’s my best friend.”
Billy lowers his gaze at the sound of his son’s voice breaking.
“Jacob, I’m ok.” Y/N reaches for him.
Jacob wraps his arms around her.
“I promise.”
His hand fists in her hair, clinging to her. She is fine, he can feel it, the only lingering upset is because of his pain.
Y/N rubs circles into his back.
“You weren’t mine to bargain with, I would never have agreed to this. This was signed in blood before you were born.” Billy says, “I swear to you, there was nothing you or anyone else could have done to prevent this. I couldn’t undo it, I couldn’t protect you from it…I tried.”
The room is silent.
“The imprint is what’s been throwing us off.”
“Why?” Y/N tries to peek over Jacob’s shoulder.
“If two souls are already bound, imprinting would be unnecessary.” Sam tells them. “I’ve come to the conclusion that it might be your spin on things.”
“So we do get some control over our own lives.”
“Think of it as traveling to a marked destination on the map, there’s more than one way to reach it. But you’re always going to get where you’re going.”
“And where are we going?” Jacob turns with Y/N still in his arms.
She sighs, resigned to her fate facing away from the other occupants of the room.
“The tribes agreed to bind their blood, there’s only one way to do that.” A child.
That’s why…that’s why Jacob wanted to…that’s why he- “screw the treaty.”
“Jacob,” Billy shakes his head.
“We’re not having a kid to fulfill a contract, I won’t do it.” Jacob wants to have a baby with Y/N, if and when she wants to. Not because of or for anyone else. For her, to have a family with her.
“Jacob, look at her.” Sam throws up a hand.
Jacob pulls back enough to really see Y/N. Her eyes are different, now a dark purple color, from the weeks she spent drinking only from him. “She’s fine.”
“Listen.” Sam clenches his jaw.
Jacob closes his eyes, listening carefully to the sound of her heartbeat.
Her heart doesn’t beat.

- Letters from the Dead - (Part 1)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Langhus, 21 March 1990 | © The Old Nick | Source: Letters from the Dead
The brackets will indicate possible context or corrections (sometimes commentary). - 💜
"Only Black is true, only Death is real!!! Gore is trend! Hello Nick! It's Dead here again. Hey- you're really good at drawing, I use to do some drawing stuff myself. I enclose something of it in this letter. Maybe we together can work something out, maybe even in Metal Destruction…? You asked of releases, if we need some artworks for that... Well we rarely give out much and as for the next release we'll probably have some photograph instead. But if we would need something that you might feel for help us out with I'll tell of it. So what we can use drawings for is for stuff like flyers, ads and letter­pages. So far I have done the drawings for that... well the main reason of that is that we have a (old!) xerox mashine and I'm the one in the band that 'can' draw. It's not so often that I have time left to spend hours or sometimes days by making drawings and too many don't like that kind of drawings I make (but fuck them wimps!). But onto the Deathlike Silence Prod. now. The 2nd edition of the 1st release on DSP. - Merciless is out now, the one you get here as promo. We're looking for distributors everywhere and everybody who can sell 10 (or more) records will receive a copy for free + that 10 records will be cheaper. As soon as this the 2nd ed. has paid, Imperator will go in studio.
Imperators LP will contain 8-10 songs (depending on how many "old demo songs" they'll use - but it'll be new trax as well) and it'll be entitled "The time before time". After that it'll probably be the colombian Masacre as the next release. Masacre will be very soon release a 7- inches with 3 demo songs on the greek label Scene of Love. That's a new started label and I hope they can give out enough copies, not limited ed. of it. Of course we give the bands free hands and they're not bounded to use at all, but I'm thinking of the fact that Masacre is selling so much... Only in Colombia their 1st, and only demo sold 1000 copies ( which is more than our Deathcrush demo has sold worldwide...). We can only press up 1000 copies each time of every edition of DSP, and the first ed. Of Merciless sold out as fast as we could pack and post it. This second ed. we recieved [received] for not a so long time ago will depend on how much stamps we can get, of how soon it'll sell out. In Norway it's very hard to sell records - it's far away from USA or South America and I don't think any real scene exists here. Do you think you can take care of some distribution/selling of DSP releases, or you maybe know someone else who's interested? [True dedication]. I think Merciless will be very easy to sell in Italy. Many zines exists there and we recieve many letters from there also. We also sell other records (given out by various underground labels) but it can be so different of what records of others releases we sell 'cos we usually don't get so many of them, so they sell out so soon. But anyway - I can tell of what we presently have got (except of Merciless)
LP's (£10000 + postage)
Agressor/Loudblast (split LP, France) "Licenced to thrash"
Arakain (Czechoslovakia, speed metal - I do not like this one!) "Thrash the Trash"
Nomed (France)... very boring mainstream... "Like..."
Abomination (USA)
Disharmonic Orchestra/Pungent Stench (Austria, split LP)
Malicious Intent (Canada) "Shades of black"
7's (£5000 + postage)
Asphyx (Holland, Limited ed. 1000 copies) "Mutilating Process"
Atrocity (Germany) "Blue Blood"
Pungent Stench (Austria) "Extreme Deformity"
Disharmonic Orchestra (Austria) "Successive Substitution"
Do not print this in Metal Destruction, I will explain it to you, ok. If you want any of these records above, please tell of how many and of what records so I can see how much the postage will be. Now over to Mayhem. For the first time we've been in studio and recorded 2 songs (first time with this line-up I mean). It'll be released on Chicken Brain Records, a swedish kind of underground label some time in this autumn. It'll be 8-19 other (swedish) bands on it, among them Merciless. I don't know the title of this compilation LP/CD. Our songs that'll be on it are "The Freezing Moon" and "Carnage". The Freezing Moon is a new one and pretty different from our other songs, as example it's a long guitar solo on a very long Doom part on it and that's because we wanted to have a solo at only one track (of our new ones). Carnage was made in '85 (!) so it's really old. It was on the 1st demo/reh - Pure Fucking Armageddon (released in only 100 copies and not available) but with the thought of the very bad sound on it we feeled for playing it again and try to keep the original sound of it. I'll tape these trax for ya but I'm not so sure of if it'll be enclosed in this letter or if I'll put this letter togeather [together] with the Merciless record but anyhow you'll get this tape. You can record it to others if you like to but please don't trade it, and I'll record some else bands too for filling out the rest of the tape. Have you heard of the INCREADIBLY KILLING GREAT band Tormentor from Hungary? Their demo is about 4 years old but it sounds like the Death/Black metal bands of today. We try to find out if they want a deal on DSP. But unfortunately they hardly speak any English at all so it seems like neither them or us understood it... We think of releasing a full-lengtht LP of Mayhem but it seems to take a fucking longtime before we got material enough for it... The only we know about it is a title that MUST be used - De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas. That was about all future plans I can tell of I guess. I look forward to see Metal Destruction. There's a possibility that we can sell it also, but I can't say if for sure.
About Satanism... well, I'd like to join a very underground and Illful, Evil and Grim Coven. I think you know of the hassles by finding any or getting any contact with a such. I do NOT like what's created by Anton LaVey like 1st Church of Satan. I came in contact with a dude who's a degree in the American Satans Sons - Church of Satan and he explained of it has nothing to do with LaVey at all. I asked of if it does exist in Europe also and of what it is exactly... well he didn't reply. But I heard later thet Satans Sons shall exist in Europe but I still don't know in which countries it is. In Norway it's not much of this, but in Sweden (-I am swedish) that 1st Church shall be in Stockholm (the capital there) and it shall be about 5 churches built by satanic sects, used only by satanists, mostly it's under christian churches - like the one under "Mariakyrkan" (Mary's Church) in the South of Stockholm where the 1st Church of Satan use to hang around at. I know it exists really Dark covens that use human sacrifices and are eating human flesh - them are those I try to find. I do not know much about magic and I can't say I'm a practicer of it 'cos I havn't succed. What is depending on what one can do in magic (all of its kind) is of what books one can get...those are hidden in libraries and so hard to even see... 'cos of course they don't let anyone even see them. You must be a scientist or something like if you would see the microfilms of that kind of books. A great library of many various kinds of magical arts and the Blackest of Black Arts too is the British Museum in London. But it's so damned difficult to get ones claws on those books. One book I really wanna get is De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas, unfortunately it exists only in one copy... are you practicing any magic and do you know of any covens? Have you seen/heard/felt anything supernatural? I have but I didn't understand much of what that was and I think the most of it was only so-called echoes from the past or the future [I am curious about this]. Do you know anything about astral planes and out-of body travelling? You seem to be into it and I agree about stupid trendmakers so it is something that I feel I can tell you of. I had a weird experience once, I had inner bleedings and it couldn't be found at x-rays so when it continued to bleed and bleed I finally fainted and dropped down the floor 'cos I run out of blood. The heart had no blood left to beat and my veins/artairs were almost emptied of blood. "Tecnically" I was dead. At that moment I fell down (into a door I heard of later) I saw a strange blue colour everywhere, it was transparent so I could, for a short moment, see everything in blue, till something shining white and "hot" surrounded me. What happened later is out of interest, I woke up when some ambulance men came and drove me to a hospital and there the bastards of surgery started to cut me up at the wrong side so I got a huge scar for that. However, it's someone I know who's had many out of body experiences and is using magic of various kinds and knows much more than I do of "supernatural" experiences, that I asked of this 'cos it was so strange about those colours. She told me that the first 'plane' in the astral world has the colour blue. The "earthly" plane has the colour black, then comes a grey one that is very near the earthly one and is easy to come to. The next one further is blue, and then it gets brighter and brighter till it "stops" at a white-shining one that can't be entered by mortals. IF any mortal succee enter it, that one is no longer a mortal and can not come back to the other planes nor back to this earth. After the white plane or level or whatever it goes further with other colour I don't know of, there only spirits and great sorcerers can travel. I was told that the white plane I then entered, without I knew it, was the dead world and I died. But I also got thrown back after a short time which very rarely happens. So of what I've heard of I have some kind of purpose to achieve here."
Reached the limit for this one, I will add on!

Could I request Gojo's wife feeding him her homemade desserts only for the main trio to walk in on them?
Tumblr media
“It’s so nice of you to come visit me at work [Y/N]-chan.” Satoru cooed as you set out plates from the little picnic basket you had packed for the two of you.
You giggled. “You’re never going to stop calling me ‘-chan’ are you?” Despite being a woman, and married for several years.
“Nope!” Satoru confirmed with a grin. “Because you’re still cute, and you’ll always be my cute [Y/N]-chan.” You giggle again.
“Well, thank you Satoru-kun. Honestly it’s just nice to hear you call me anything at all. You’ve been so busy lately.”
“The life of the strongest and world’s greatest teacher.” He faux bemoaned. “These days, it seems to be one crisis after another. We’re all just sifting from one disaster to the next.”
“Optimistic Satoru.” You tell him. “But, at least we have sometime now.” Even if it was just his lunch break. “And, I made you something.”
“Pecan tarts!”
An American dish that Satoru was fond of. Probably because it was more brown sugar & butter than pecans. The weren’t a popular dish in Japan though. So it wasn’t like the rest of his sweets he could just pick up en mass whenever he wanted. They had to be made special.
“You always take such good care of me [Y/N]-chan.” Satoru cheered with a grin. Already helping himself to the tarts.
“At least try to each a vegetable too.” You encourage as you offer him a some of the cold vegetable salad you made as well.
Satoru grumbled, but took a couple pieces for his plate anyway.
“Gojo-sensei, have you seen….?” The sound of Megumi’s voice broke out, before he just let himself in, came over the quiet of their lunch. “Oh. Hello [Y/N]-san.”
“Hello Megumi.”
“What is it Megumi-kun?” Satoru asked. Sounding like his usual cheerful self, but you could tell it was strained.
“Mai-senpai was looking for her jian, Coiled Viper? She said you borrowed it.”
“Why would I need her sword?” The older man asked. Clearly offended in thinking he would need a physical weapon to do anything. He was the weapon. “Go check the supply closet. Maybe someone put it there with the rest of the training gear.”
Megumi nodded once. Then apologized with his goodbye, before he let himself back out. “He’s still a good kid.”
“He’s ok.” Satoru agreed.
He tried to return to his tarts and his wife when the door flung opened again. “Gojo-sensei! You need to tell those idiots to stay out of my closet!”
“What now?” Satoru asked. His voice getting more strained.
“Those perverts went through my closet!”
“How do you know they went through your closet Nobara-chan?”
“Because all of my stuff was moved around and one of my skirts was missing!”
Satoru sighed and turned back to his lunch. “That wasn’t them.”
“Who could it have been then?!”
“Not them, that’s all.”
“How could you know that?! If it wasn’t them, then who could have gone through my stuff!”
“Because it was me ok! I borrowed it for a joke.”
“Satoru!” You hiss. To which he sighed.
He then promised to replace it, and anything else she wanted, if she would just stop yelling and leave him alone. Nobara huffed but still turned on her heels and left. “What?!” Satoru snapped. Feeling your piercing gaze. “It was just a joke.”
“…pervert…” You mutter before sipping your tea. Satoru sighed again.
“Look, I’m sorry. I get it was childish and dumb, but we were just playing around. Don’t be mad at me. We haven’t spent a lot of time together and I don’t want to mess it up.”
It was your turn to sigh before you nodded. “Ok.” You supposed he was right.
Satoru smiled, then leaned over the table to give you a kiss. One that almost made it, until the door opened again. “Gojo-sensei—"
“What?! What is it now?!”
Yuji stood at the door, startled like a deer at his teacher’s outburst. “I uh…sorry…I’ll just go ask someone else. Sorry.”
He carefully closed the door and Satoru hung his head in defeat. “Damnit.”
“You shouldn’t have yelled at him.”
“I know.” He agreed as he sat back down. “I guess I’ll have to apologize to him too.”
“It seems a little crowded here today.” You tell him. Packing up the lunch, which had been barely picked over, and handed it to Satoru. “Try to eat something later and I’ll see you when you get home. I’ll stay up.”
“It might be really late.”
“I’ll get an iced coffee.”
Satoru smirked, then leaned up to give you a kiss as you pass. “Give Yuji one of the tarts. He’ll like them.”
“But then there will be less for me.” He bemoaned. “Alright, alright! Don’t look at me that way. I’m a good teacher, I swear!”
“I know you are darling.”

Chapter 6
Previous Chapter
“Are you seriously not coming, Jen?” It's late afternoon and Jen and yourself are back at the hotel. You had invited Jen to come out with you guys and initially, she had agreed to but has since changed her mind.
Carlos had called you shortly after you arrived at the hotel, letting you know that the outing would include the other drivers and friends. You felt the relief of knowing that you wouldn’t have to go alone and that Jen would be there supporting you. But, that feeling didn’t last very long; obviously.
“I’m feeling like shit again, sorry” she shakes her head and lays down on your bed. Jen was never one to shy away from a night out so it’s safe to say you were concerned. Throughout the time that you guys were at the track, she had not mentioned that she felt ill again, nor did you notice. You really thought it had passed but you were clearly wrong, you begin to feel bad that you hadn’t noticed.
“Don’t worry, seriously, it’s not that bad. I think it’s just the traveling, I don’t think Monaco likes me very much.” she chuckles trying to reassure you when she notices you walking towards her to check up on her.
“Jen, why didn’t you tell me you still felt sick; this whole time?”
“I promise I didn’t, I felt good again once we started the tour. It literally just crept up on me, just now.” She sits up on the bed with a small smile, but it’s forced. You take a good look at her face, trying to read her but all you can see is how pale she’s gotten.
“Jen, I’m not going. You’ve gone yellow, we need to get you some medicine” you say and take your phone out to let Mason know how she’s doing
“No, no, no. You're going and that’s final, you know I hate raining on anybody’s parade. I think I just need some sleep.” she places her hand on your arm trying to convince you. “What good does it do for both of us to stay in? You're in Monaco, your young, live it up, we still have the rest of the weekend to have fun” she assures you
“But how will I know that you’re not feeling any worse or if you need something?” you question, crossing your arms, still not feeling good about leaving her
“I’m a big girl Y/N, I can take care of myself. Plus, I have to call Mason anyway, we have to go over some stuff. He’ll be watching me, sort of.”
“Uhh, I don’t know Jen”
“Well, I do know, you’re going! A literal Formula 1 driver, for Ferrari, asked you out on a date and you’re not going to go!”
“It’s not a date Jen!” you bite your lip trying not to smile
“Uh huh, keep telling yourself that. You're going!” she stands up and turns you pushing you towards the bathroom. “Go get ready!”
“Ok mom,” you say giving in
You’re currently standing in front of your closet, staring at the multiple outfits you packed away but still, you can’t seem to figure out what to wear. Even after you re-did your hair and makeup, you hoped it would give you a little inspiration for your attire, but nope. You initially had your eye set on a dress but after Carlos told you it wasn’t going to be just you and him; you changed your mind.
It wasn’t that you thought it was a date or anything but, you always found confidence in your clothes when you couldn’t find it in yourself. And considering that you were going out with Carlos Sainz, anybody with eyes knew that they had to dress to impress around him, I mean just look at him. It also didn’t help that after your last relationship, you were left feeling insecure about your appearance. That man really pulled all your confidence from your body and kept it to himself, you want it back. 
There were rare times you felt beautiful, even as a child you had self-esteem issues. You struggled with how you felt about your appearance and never with your mind or your artistry. You knew you were intelligent and talented, that you never doubted; you’re very proud of all your work. Your beauty, however, you always doubted it, even when nobody else did. Anybody with eyes could see and feel how beautiful you were physically, that feeling, you’re dying to find it.
After being alone with your thoughts for a couple of minutes, you thought any more time would become unhealthy. So after no success, you decided you needed another opinion. You didn’t want to bother Jen’s rest so, you went to the best next thing for help.
🌶Chili🌶
Y/n: Hola! What are the vibes for tonight, what should I wear?
Carlos: Nothing too fancy, we’re just going out for drinks.
Y/n: Semi-casual, got it.
Carlos: I’ll let you know when I’m outside the hotel
You didn’t bother replying, not wanting to waste any time, so you simply just liked his message. He didn’t let you know how long he would be so you scrambled to get dressed. You settled on a red flowy tank, some mid-waist jeans, and some small but classy heels.
Soon enough, you heard your phone buzzing on the nightstand, you breathed a sigh of relief. You had been talking to Jen, trying to calm your nerves and you felt like you were going to explode if you had to wait any longer. So, you quickly answered the phone.
“Hola, estoy afuera!” (Hello, I’m outside!)
“Ok, ya voy!” (Ok, I’m going!)
“Ok, it’s 8 pm, I expect you back by like 2 am; the latest!” Jen pointed at you
“No promises” You laugh at her mothering and look at her mischievously, grabbing your things and ready to head out.
“Be safe okay?” she says as you're heading towards the door to leave. But, you hear a knock at the door that causes both of you to look at each other in confusion. Looking through the peephole, you see that it’s Carlos. What was he doing here?
“Hey, what are you doing, I was about to head out?” you ask him after opening the door. You notice he seems a little out of breath as you get a good look at his face.
“Medicine! For Jen, I almost forgot so I ran up” he says holding up a grocery bag and stepping into your room. He goes up to the bed Jen was on and begins taking and showing her the stuff he got. When he first called you, you mentioned Jen’s condition and asked him where you could find a drugstore. Clearly, he was several steps ahead of you.
“Carlos, you didn’t have to do this, we were about to order some to the room,” Jen says while looking at him in awe
“No, it’s okay, don’t worry about it. Thank you for letting her go out!” he giggles as he reassures her as he turns to smile at you, and you happily reciprocate it.
“Well, thank you very much. Take care of her yeah, I’m trusting you” she tells him as you both walk towards the door
“No problem, I’ll bring her back in one piece, I promise,” he says as he leads you out of the room into the hallway
Once you’ve bid your goodbyes, you touch his arm to get his attention. “Thank you, so much, seriously.”
“It’s nothing” He turns to you and looks down, finally getting a good look at you. You’re about 5’3.5, maybe 5’4 on a good day and even with your small heels tonight, he still had about 6 inches on you. Considering you were also wearing a low-cut top tonight, you felt his gaze reach your chest, you felt your ears go hot. “You look beautiful,” he says
You ignore his comment and continue walking as you don’t know what to say. You hope he ignores your lack of response but then you feel his hand on your lower back again. But, this time you can’t ignore it, your top is sort of see-through so you can actually feel his skin on your skin.
“Thank you, you look beautiful too,” you say looking up at him and offering him a gentle smile, he smiles back.
You guys keep up the small talk until you reach the porte-cochere of the hotel. “Oh, Charles and his girlfriend Alex are driving with us” he lets you know as he opens the car door for you and finally removes his hand from your back.
“Good evening guys!” you say excitedly, knowing that there would be another girl around tonight made you feel much better.
“Hi Y/N, how are you? This is my girlfriend, Alex,” says Charles introducing you two
“Hi, nice to meet you. I’m a really big fan, I'm trying not to fangirl right now. The cameras don’t do your beauty justice.” she extends her hand out at you to shake
“Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Enough about me, look at you, you’re stunning!” you say shaking her hand. You guys begin small talk and completely ignore the guys, as they’re both talking with the chauffeur about where you all are heading. As you're talking, you can hear a slight “French” accent in Alex’s voice. But before you can ask her about it, Alex questions your origins.
“Carlos was saying that you’re Mexican, right?” you nod your head yes at her. Carlos was talking to them about you, you thought. “So am I! Well only half, I was raised here in Monaco if you couldn’t tell” she says excitedly as she points to her mouth
“No way! I was going to ask, your accent is so cute.” you and Alex continue your conversation and even exchange socials, quickly becoming friends. 
“Looks like there are already a lot of people here, too many,” Charles says suddenly, cutting into Alex’s and your conversation
“Yeah, I thought so, all the drivers are going,” says Alex
“No like, there’s a lot of paparazzi. I don’t even know how we’ll manage to get inside the place.” Charles turns from his seat and shows his phone to both of you and sure enough, the place is packed. You instantly begin to feel anxious and begin to pick at your fingers, Carlos notices and reaches behind his seat placing a light hand on your clothed knee
“We’ll figure it out,” he says smiling reassuringly
Shortly after, you guys arrive at the bar, the guys hop out of the car first and you instantly hear the mob of people. You step out of the car with Carlos’ help but before you can even mutter a thank you, he is pulled away by Charles to the Tifosi. As the guys get closer to the fans, the fans all crowd closer. Alex quickly hooks her arm around yours, “C’mon let's go” she says as you two are guided out with the help of security
“Thank you,” you say to both Alex and the security as you place your hand on your chest trying to steady your breathing; feeling thankful that she pulled you out of that situation. Alex then swiftly pulls you to the group of wags, introducing you to them and them to you. Your mood quickly rises again, girl talk always makes you feel better. As you're exchanging socials with Lily, you feel a hand on your shoulder. As you turn around you notice the blue-eyed, blonde, all-American boy; Logan.
“Mind if I steal her for a bit?” he says to all the girls
“No, no, not at all,” says Lily as she pushes you to him. You hear a course of giggles and get teasing looks. You can tell these girls are going to be fun to hang around.
“Hey, what's up?” you ask him confidently, earlier in the day, you and Logan bonded over the fact that you were the only Americans around. He expressed that he gets lonely and feels left out sometimes and that you made him feel at home. Already having so much in common, you two easily became good friends.
“Nothin' much, hoping you’d come tonight,” he says shyly, as you follow him to the bar. “Let me buy you a drink” he offers as the bartender comes up to you both. As you both sit down at the stools to wait for your drinks, you see Lando coming towards you with a smile but quickly stops when he notices you have company. You go to smile at him but are cut short when your drinks arrive.
“How are you liking Monaco?” he says taking his drink
“I love it” you take a sip from your drink, “So, much!” he laughs at your honesty
“I’d thought so, everybody always says the same thing; it is great” he admits
“You live here too?” you ask while looking around the bar at the other drivers
“Unfortunately, no; I’m in England”
“I’m sure England is treating you well, it’s one of my favorite places to tour and film at” you share with him
“Yeah it is, it just doesn’t have a “vacation” feeling like Monaco does. And the weather, you get tired of it quickly when you live there long-term” 
“The weather is actually why I like it so much,” you say truthfully
“Really? You should come spend some time there with me then” he suggests
“Yeah?” you ask him teasingly, finishing up your drink
“Yeah” he smirks
Lando POV
“Just go up to them!” says Daniel, Lando had gone up to him asking for advice on how to steal you from Logan. Lando had become frustrated and he started to feel like he wouldn't get the chance to talk to you at all tonight
“What could they even be talking about?” Lando questions, he sees you both laughing and his mind goes wild at the thought of what it could be
“I don’t know but, you’ll never know if you don’t go and talk to her,” says Daniel, beginning to feel frustrated at Lando’s lack of confidence
“You know what, maybe I shouldn't,” Lando thinks back to the near accident earlier. Daniel turns his head, confused and waiting for Lando to continue
“I almost flipped the car on the hot lap earlier, it could've been bad” Lando runs his hand over his face, still feeling embarrassed. He expects Daniel to comfort him but he quickly regrets even telling Daniel after hearing him start to laugh
“Oh my god, that’s so embarrassing. Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t talk to her.” Daniel says laughing and jokingly pushing Lando. Daniel expects Lando to laugh back but begins to feel guilty when he notices Lando looking down.
“I’m just kidding man, she doesn’t seem like the kind of girl to hold onto things like that,” Daniel says while looking at Y/N and Logan
“Look, now’s your chance, go!” Daniel pushes Lando forward once he sees Logan trying to get the bartender's attention 
Y/N Pov
“Hey, can I talk to you for a bit?” you hear from behind you, you turn around and see Lando. Hearing this, Logan turns around as well, looking a little surprised. You take turns looking from the American to the Brit not knowing what to say. You don’t want to leave Logan but you also don’t want to reject Lando.
“Umm, sure,” you say, wanting to leave the awkward feeling behind.
“Sorry mate,” Lando tells Logan
“Sorry Logan, we’ll catch up later, yeah?” you suggest to him
“Yeah, yeah, of course, no worries,” he says not having any other option, you feel bad ditching him but really, you didn’t have any other options either. So you stand up putting your glass on the bar counter and place your hand on his shoulder as a goodbye as you walk away. He gives you a sorry smile as he turns his back on you guys.
Lando leads you to the back of the bar, to booths that are nearing empty. There are still some people scattered around conversing but it’s mostly quiet, a better place for conversation. You begin to think of how to start a conversation but he beats you to it.
“I just wanted to say, I’m really, really, sorry about earlier today; that usually never happens, I don’t know what happened, maybe it was the car or-” he rambles on apologetically
You smile at him empathetically and giggle at his unreasonable concern, you place a tender hand on his knee. He was going on and on, not even looking at you as he endlessly apologized and you knew he wouldn’t stop if you didn’t stop him. “It’s okay seriously, it was out of your control, stop worrying about it, enjoy your night,” you tell him kindly but sternly to get the message across.
He finally turns to look at you, bashfully, and the look in his eyes seems to want just a little bit more reassurance. So, you soothingly rub your thumb over his knee, “I promise, it’s not a big deal” you declare. He lets out a tense breath and you see his shoulders seem to lighten, you take this as a sign that he received your message so you remove your hand from his leg.
“Thanks,” he says softly
“So, how do you feel, with the race coming up?” you try to break the silence, searching for his eyes that have been turned from you
“Umm, I’m actually really dreading it,” he says honestly, you give him a confused look wanting him to continue, “I’ve been doing really horrible so far, seasons not been going well. I can’t imagine this next one going even better, everybody’s going to cook me alive”
“But you’ve been trying your best, right?” you ask him, now it’s his turn to look confused.
“I’ve been giving it my all, I don’t know why it’s not showing” he looks frustrated as he begins to bite his lip and fidget with his hands
“Then that’s all that matters, if you’re trying your absolute best. Who cares what anybody else thinks, I’m sure your team and your friends are aware of the work you're putting in. I’ve only just met you and I can tell!” you tell him from experience
“Patience Lando, that’s key. Waiting isn’t fun but, I can guarantee to you that you’ll get what you want sooner rather than later.” you notice his eyes begin to glisten, your image of Lando was always one that was confident so to see him show you this side of him, you were thankful. Especially because you had only known each other for less than 24 hours.
“We’ll see” he smiles at you but you can tell it’s to mask his troubled thoughts
“Don't be so pessimistic” You look forward to the other drivers who all seem to be having a lively good time
“It’s hard to feel positive about your work when it seems like everybody around you is comparing you to all the other drivers. And my team, I love them you know but, they never point out any of the good work I do, it’s just what I do wrong or what I’m lacking in. And then, the “fans”, they’re on the outside looking in, they have no idea what actually goes on inside!” he talks with his hands and you can feel how agitated and upset he feels. You wish you could relate to him but you can’t so, you offer him a sympathetic smile.
“Not everybody feels that way” you turn to him
“What?” he questions
“I trust you, your work. You’ll prove everybody wrong before you know it.” you assertedly express to him
“You promise it’ll get better” he looks at you unsure
“I promise,” you say confidently as you raise your pinky to him. He raises his pinky and locks it around yours.
“Thanks” he looks at you tenderly, “I really needed that” You can see the genuineness in his eyes
“Anytime,” you say truthfully
Soon after your conversation with Lando, you both stand up and head back towards the action. You guys get a couple more drinks and start chatting about anything and everything. Lando was currently telling you about all the video ideas he had for Quadrant, his company. You were actively listening and putting in your own two cents and he gladly received them, writing a few down in his notes. He was laughing at a joke you had just made when you were politely interrupted by a certain Spaniard.
“Hey, what are guys talking about?” says Carlos, walking up, drink in hand. Before either of you could respond, you hear a yell from across the bar.
“Lando!” you turn and see George and Alex waving Lando over. Lando groans in protest but ultimately walks over, leaving you and Carlos. You both giggle at his childlike response before turning to each other.
“So, what were you guys talking about?” Carlos asks once again
“Oh umm, just stuff you know; everything” You knew Carlos probably knew about Lando’s issues but you didn’t want to bring it up in case he didn’t. Plus, Lando’s and your conversation was between you two only. Carlos gives you an understanding nod and changes the subject.
“I was going to come and find you after me and Charles were done, but then we got caught up with some other people, I’m sorry” You shake your head at him understanding where he is coming from
“I saw you with Logan and I didn’t want to interrupt anything” he raises his eyebrows at you in a suggestive way. You blush at what he was insinuating and quickly shake your head.
“He’s great and everything but I don’t think I can do another relationship anytime soon” You look down, playing with the straw in your glass. You weren’t one to open up about your relationships, especially to people you just met but tonight, you had the alcohol to thank for that.
Carlos immediately regrets even bringing that topic up, noticing your instant change in mood. He mutters numerous sorry’s but it’s too late and you end up spilling your guts to him. You had only told the public that your breakup with your ex was mutual and cordial but that was further from the truth. 
Your ex, he was your fiance, you thought you were going to marry him. The only people who knew that were your friends, his friends, your family, and his family. And it was supposed to stay that way but you just needed to rant to somebody who didn’t know you or him. You're sure that tomorrow morning you will regret it but for now, it felt good to unload.
“I’m sorry Carlos, I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have told you.” you set your glass down, running your hands through your hair. It had been a while since you thought about your past, you wanted to forget it and leave it behind, to run away furthest from it. But, it always came back and for some reason, it hurt more each time, and it always brought more questions. Questions you so badly wanted answers to but, you weren’t sure you were ever going to get them.
“Hey, hey” Carlos tries to turn you to him as you are stuck staring at the floor, “Look at me, please” he grabs your shoulders and faces you in front of him. You feel the tears begin to prickle in your eyes, so you take a deep breath before you look up at him.
You meet his eyes and your emotions betray you, your tears begin to fall. He hurries and grabs your hand pulling you to a back hallway, empty and away from anybody. You put your face in your hands, not wanting him to see you. You're not one to cry in front of anybody so you didn’t know what to do with your body. He soothingly rubbed your arms up and down until you calmed down.
You used your hands to dry your face and mentally cursed yourself for wearing a sleeveless top. The expulsion of your tears caused you to sober up, you quickly realized your situation and then became too embarrassed to even look at him. You notice a bathroom at the end of the hallway and try to make your way there but feel his arms grab at you.
“Oh, come here” he pulls you into his side, laying his head on yours until your breathing calms down. “Are you okay?” He says before going to stand in front of you, he’s about 6 inches taller than you so he kneels down until you're face to face.
“Yep,” you say looking at him, he chuckles at the irony of your appearance and response.
“I’m going to go clean myself up a little,” you tell him pointing to the bathroom, he nods leaning against the wall
After you clean the smudged mascara from under your eyes and reapply some lipstick, you come out of the bathroom to find Carlos just how you found him.
“I think I’m going to head home now” You pull out your phone to try and order yourself an Uber
“I’ll go with you” he suggests
“What, no Carlos. Your friends are still here, I’m so sorry I ruined your night” you embarrassingly admit
“I don’t think most of them are here anymore, they probably moved down to another bar or club,” he says pointing to the door leading towards the bar area. You were too emotional to even notice that the liveliness had quieted down. Before you can begin to apologize again, you hear him speak up.
“And you didn’t ruin anything I promise, thanks for opening up to me.” you look at his eyes and they’re sincere, you can tell but, you still can’t help but feel bad. You go to open your mouth to give him one final apology but he quickly shuts you down.
“Vamonos” (Let's go) he offers you his arm and you grab it, you walk out to the bar and he is right. There were no more drivers around, only team members but nobody that he would stay for and talk to. He leads you to the car and you both hop in, he gives the driver the name of your hotel. On the car ride back he gives it his all to try and make you laugh, making dumb jokes and sharing silly videos of the other drivers he had. 
As he’s laughing at a video of Fernando he took, you turn from his phone to his face. Taking a good look at his face, you embrace the feeling of comfort he brought with him and gave to you. This man has already done so much for you in the very short time you’ve known him. You were going to try everything to make up this night for him. You felt silly for this but you already didn’t want to lose him as a friend. You weren’t sure if you were even friends yet but he sure made you feel like you were. It scared you to not know why people come into your life when they do but with Carlos, you were excited to find out.

I'm Making Fluff Headcannons Cause I'm Sad: Savanaclaw
I've gotta remember how I set this up.
Otherwise it'll turn out like shit.
Oh well. Let's just see how it goes.
Leona:
I hope you like sleeping a lot
Cause this man will pull you into so many naps
Ruggie's gonna have to start making excuses for you in class
Also, this mans in loaded, so if you need anything, ask him
He'll just hand you his card
(with a sidenote of something he wants you to buy for him)
Not a pda guy
It's not that he's not ok with it
It's just that he doesn't feel the need to do it
Yes, he cuddles
But he's not into lovey dovey stuff
So you're gonna have to do it first
Teasing teasing teasing
I really hope you're ok with teasing
Cause unlike Ace, he won't lay off
And if it hurts your feelings, he probably won't know what else to do besides take a nap with you
But trust me, if he thinks you're asleep, he's whispering the nicest, most loving shit
And if you're awake when he does it, you'll just know he loves you, even when he can't say that stuff to your face
Ruggie:
Get ready to learn some life skills, my friend
Ruggie will teach you everything he knows
Haggling, thieving, speaking in different languages
You are gonna be well learned in the ways of the streets
Will always look out for you
He's a family guy
And a pack animal
So he's constantly checking on you
And making sure you're eating
And that you have enough money
And if you're feeling down, he'll ask Leona for some money and bring you your favorite food
And if you're favorite food is something Ruggie makes, you best bet he'll make it for you
Some days he'll be attached to you at the hip
And others you probably won't see him at all
But when he comes back after disappearing, he always brings you something (usually food)
And he'll be right by your side until he disappears again for whatever reason
But you never miss him
You just feel happy whenever he's with you
Jack:
You're about to get some muscle
Mans is gonna get you a workout routine
Y'all are gonna go on runs
(But if you get tired, he'll carry you)
You're gonna sweat together
(Outside and inside the bedroom hehehe (sorry, couldn't help myself with that one))
And you're gonna get a cactus
And your cactus and his cactus are gonna be friends
And they're gonna have matching names (probably named after some Spelldrive players who are friends)
He will keep you motivated
No procrastination with this guy
You not feeling up for schoolwork?
He'll hype you up!
You don't feel like working out?
Get ready to be motivated!
(unless you're really not feeling it, in which case he's ok with break days every now and then)
Also, nobody's gonna mess with you
Trust me
Jack's got your back
And even if you just need help, he'll be there
I'm gonna be honest, Ruggie's was kinda hard.
But anyway, we'll see when I get the next part done.
Hope somebody enjoyed this.

I did my at-least-annual tradition of making my family’s chicken soup recipe on Sunday, and I took process photos, so I thought I’d share. Here’s what I have written down but for all its vagueness it’s still not accurate.
Tumblr media
I think every generation has modified some stuff about the process and tweaked it for their particular tastes.
Instead of using a whole chicken, I use a split chicken breast (2 halves) plus a pack of chicken thighs (4). I like this better because the ratio of meat to fiddly bits is better and Surfski likes CHICKEN soup (lots of chicken per bowl). You could easily use half a breast or one or two fewer thighs, but I think the mix of white and dark meat is important for flavor.
Next is something I added to the recipe after reading Salt Fat Acid Heat. I salt my raw chicken and let it sit out for at least half an hour before I put it in the water. I think this helps the chicken hold flavor through the cooking.
While the chicken is sitting (so a change from the order of the recipe) I chop a large sweet onion plus the carrots, celery, and parsnips. I think I used 5 skinny stalks of celery, 4 carrots and 5 parsnips, but especially given the size variability you’ve got to judge this based on vibes. How much of each vegetable does your heart tell you that you need in your soup? The one exception to this is if you are not familiar with parsnips and you are considering skimping on them or leaving them out. That is not your heart. That is the devil and you must resist. Trust me on this and use about as many parsnips as carrots.
Tumblr media
The next step was added by my great aunt who was a genius in the kitchen (also very good at refurbishing antiques but that’s less relevant). You heat up some butter and olive oil and sautee your vegetables in it. Yes it makes another pan to clean but it’s completely worth it. You don’t cook it for long! Just until the carrots and celery get bright and the onion is just starting to get translucent and everything is a tiny bit soft.
Tumblr media
Ok, set the veg aside but I highly recommend snacking on some of the parsnips at this point. Every time I make chicken soup it always makes me want to make roast parsnips and I always forget when I’m meal planning.
Next it’s chicken time! Load your chicken into a big heavy pot and cover it with water. I just barely cover it because I’m going to need room for lots of veg.
Tumblr media
Put that on your biggest burner and boil it. It will take a while to come up to a good boil. Once it’s boiling it will start to foam. This stuff.
Tumblr media
Ick. Skim that off and throw it away.
Now, when the foaming is done, turn down the heat and dump in your veg. Mix it all in there then put your bunch of dill on top. Make sure you take off the twist tie or anything else holding the dill together.
Tumblr media
My mom added this next step which she got from a friend of hers. It’s this shit called Better Than Bouillon.
Tumblr media
You can use the plain chicken variety. Roast chicken is just what my grocery store had. I’m not 100% sure what it is but it really does add gorgeous flavor to the soup. I put one big spoonful in a big pot. This is what it looks like out of the jar.
Tumblr media
Now you let everything cook together until the chicken is cooked. How long will that take? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Depends on the size of your chicken pieces and how high you have the heat, etc. When you think it might be done, pull out your biggest piece of chicken and poke it. It should be white and firm. If it is, pull the rest of the chicken out too and turn the heat way down but leave the veg and the dill in to simmer.
Tumblr media
Now you walk away. Go scroll tumblr. Read a chapter of a book. Draw something. But you gotta let the chicken cool down.
Why? Because you’re going to shred that with your fingers and you don’t want to burn your fingerprints off. Or maybe you do. I don’t know your life.
Anyway, this is a good spot for me to stop and hit post because I’m on mobile and I’ll run up against the 10 image limit.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this so far! The rest of the recipe and the end product will be in a reblog.

Matt Casey- Fight For Us Pt4
Tumblr media
Since this whole thing with Matt and Voight I've been getting really nervous, nervous for Ella and I
"Antonio's going to help us"
"Matt I don't think your understanding. The house isn't safe for Ella. Look Matt I love you but until this blows over we're going to stay with Gabby" I say as I'm packing Ella's bag
"YN you can't leave. We're good again and now your taking my daughter"
"Im not taking her away Matt. We're not splitting up, but I'm scared that one of us is going to get hurt. Voight pulled me over saying I ran a stop sign which I didn't, Ella was in the car Matt. It was a threat. I just need to know Ella's safe"
"I know. I know. Im sorry. I promise this will be over" Matt pulls me into him kissing my forehead
"Im just so scared"
"So you and Matt are on a break?"
"No. It's just with all of this Voight stuff. Im just scared Kelly. What if Ella gets hurt because of this"
"Do you want Matt to retract his statement"
"No. It's to late to do that anyway" my phone rings, but I don't recognise the number straight away
"Hello? What? Oh god.....yeah I'll be there in 10"
"Who was that?" Kelly asks
"The hospital. Matts been hurt. Can you watch Ella for me?" I whisper so Ella doesn't hear
"Sure"
"Thanks" I get up off the couch and walk over to Ella who's sat on the floor playing with some toy cars
"Hey Ella. Momma has to pop out for a little bit, but uncle Kelly is going to look after you. Ok?"
"Ok momma, but where are you going?"
"I just need to go and see someone. I won't be long" I kiss her on the head before leaving Kelly's and driving to the hospital.
"There's no cracked ribs. You're next in line
for the CT scam" Dr Thomas walks in with the X-ray results while I stand with Antoni nervously biting my nails "can you sit up for me?"
"Yeah" Matt groans. I can see the bruise on his side already forming
"I need you to take some deep breaths, okay?" I look out if the window and see Herrmann, Otis, Mouch and my dad. Dad walks in and over to me giving me a hug
"Wheres Ella?"
"With Kelly" I tell him
"Sounds clear that's good"
"Thanks Hallie" I give her a small smile
"Just doing my job. You can lay back now Matt" Hallie helps Matt to lie down
"Casey, how are you?" Dad asks
"Sore"
"So no faces on this guys? Markings? Anything distinguishable?" Antonio asks
"One of them had a tattoo. Forearm. Left... oh god maybe right" Matt starts to get upset. I take his hand in mine and give it a squeeze
"Antonio maybe come back a little later" I tell him
"Alright. Rest for a few"
"This was Voight wasn't it?" I ask looking at Matt "not him directly, but he orchestrated this"
"Matt. Believe ne, I know what you're going through and I know what youre thinking. But we are gonna figure out how to do this the right way. You've got a daughter and a wife so don't you dare do anything to land yourself in jail. Do you hear me?"
"Yeah" dad walks out to talk more to Antonio while I stay in the room with Matt
"I can't sit back and take it"
"I know but he wants you to be the bad guy. He wants you do make a bad move and then pin something else on you. Babe I don't want to lose you so please for me, for Ella just let Antonio deal with this"
"I think you were right to move out with Ella for now. Keep her safe"
"I love you Matt. Just be careful"
"I will. I love you too"
"Momma when can I see daddy?" Ella asks as I place some food in front of her. I look at Kelly for some support but I don't get any help off him
"Errm soon"
"Are you and daddy mad at each other again? Like when uncle Andy died. Like uncle Kelly is mad at daddy?"
"No baby. We're not mad at each other. Promise"
"Then why are we living here not at home?"
"Because...."
"Because the bath is leaking and you missy need to have warm baths"
"Then why isn't daddy here?"
"Wow your asking a lot of questions tonight Ella.  Daddy has lots of paper work to do and doesn't want to keep you or momma awake. It will be over soon"
"Ok" Ella carries on eating her dinner like nothings wrong
"Thank you" I quietly say "I just don't know what to tell her"
"It's ok. Things will be ok YN" Kelly gives me a little hug
"I just want thinks your be ok again. I want us to feel safe again"
"I know"

fuck it it's been eons im sharing my funny little recipe for making instant noodles not suck
Stuff you need
your favorite pack of instant noodles. or the next best thing whatever works
frozen spinach leaves (or alternative veggies)
egg :)
1 mushroom (optional but very recommended)
soysauce (abt 1-2 tablespoons)
fish sauce (5-10 drops)
lime juice (5-10 drops)
1-2cm fresh ginger (ginger powder's fine in a pinch)
Stuff you do
boil the spinach. add a generous amount of salt into the water as well as butter! shit's tasty. other veggies also love being boiled in salt. as an alternative you can fry the spinach if you'd like
prepare egg. i prefer to fry mine sunny side up in some oil bc it's quick, but you can also boil it. usually the point is to keep the yolk/yellow part soft so it mixes nicely into the broth and noodles but if you don't have to do that if you wanna do something else
chop/crush ginger and chop mushroom. crushed ginger releases more flavor than chopped but i like having little ginger pieces in my broth, and you can add more of it when it's chopped.
add ginger, mushroom, flavor packets into a pot with water. i paid for the flavor packets and im fucking using them ok. taste a bit to check the base taste before adding the good stuff:
soysauce, fish sauce, lime juice. that's my recommended order, anyway. taste frequently and start adding them carefully to adjust the flavor more precisely! the amounts i gave are generous estimates because i tend to just wing it
boil noodles. it's probably better to boil them separately, but im lazy and just add them into the broth. this will taint the broth with the forbidden noodle particles, so if that's not your thing take out another pot for them
add everything into a bowl and enjoy. wahey :)
Other tips I guess
you can go apeshit with veggies, and you can absolutely use fresh ones as well, though you should add them to the broth instead of prepping them separately. i think. idk i prefer to work with frozen stuff bc you can get a lot for cheap and they last for a long time
if you want to prepare protein that isn't an egg for this, go for it! i love adding leftover chicken whenever we have some, and things like tofu are pretty neat too
a lot of this recipe or whatever relies on the flavor packet as a kind of base for the broth, hence why i recommend picking a noodle thing you can eat as is for this. i've also noticed that this works particularly well for seafood noodles, but i've done it for other kinds as well and had cool results

Pairing: Normie male reader x Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams
Chapter 2: Trip and New friends

Y/n pov
"So what exactly did you mean when you said I'd be someone worth following behind? I asked Blake as he lead me through a patio area
"Exactly that, you see my pack has its own rules and traditions we follow. When we meet someone we deem strong wether it be by there character or, by their strength we follow them. As those people are usually the best leaders." He stated in a matter-of-factly tone.
"So I'm your leader now? And what's with this pack your talking about." I asked incredulously 
"Yes. My wolf pack when as I'm a werewolf or could you not tell? Either way when we turn 16 we are allowed to start or join our own packs. All you need to do is acknowledge me and we'll even get a mental link." He said with some underlying excitement in his usual monotone voice.
"What the hell am I even supposed to respond." I thought as we walked in silence for a couple of minutes to our dorm room.
Bland and boring is how I would describe the room, it was made of some sort of dark wood, the room layout itself was basic just two full size beds, two dressers and, two desks. One of each on either side of the room. On the back door there was a door that opened up to a bathroom. The front wall that you saw when entering the room was taken up by a big circular window that opened up to a balcony.
Stepping outside and onto the balcony looking out I saw that it overlooked the patio area we had walked through to get to our dorm hall. Nodding in approval.
"Hey I'm going to look around campus alright. Maybe see if I get to know some of our neighbors." I told Blake as I walked back into our room from the balcony and made my way to the door.
"Ok, just be back in an hour, as Ms.Weems is taking us along with Richard and Tommy to get stuff for our rooms." He told me
I nodded having forgotten of the other two as I exited the room, I noticed the door across from ours was open and there was music playing. I made my way across and knocked on the open door.
A 6' 2" Caucasian boy with brown hair walks towards the door.
"Can I help you?" He asks
"Ah sorry to bother you, I just wanted to introduce myself since it seems that well be neighbors."
"Oh I'm Xavier Thorpe, and you are?"
He said with a smile as  extended his hand
"I'm Y/n nice to meet you Xavier. I responded and shook his hand
"So what are you?" He asks curiously
"What do you mean?" I asked confusion probably written all over my face.
"Yeah like what type of outcast are you? What else could I mean?"  He said with a chuckle
"Oh well I guess a nerd." I said while smiling
Xavier's expression then went from a smile, to confused
"No your not understanding what I'm asking you. Like what are you? A werewolf? A siren? A vampire? A gorgon? A psychic? Or one something else?" He said
"Just a normal human just like everyone else is. " I told him annoyed
He stared at me then suddenly burst into laughter "Oh man you almost got me, no way a normie could make it into nevermore. What are you seriously?" He asked again while still laughing.
"I already told you I'm a regular human." I told him annoyed that he was laughing
He then looked up and saw that I was serious "You're actually just a normie?!" He shouted in surprise
"What the hell is a normie?" I asked
"It's a person that's just a human and not an "outcast" you know like the people this school is made for." He said now getting irritated
"Yeah outcasts like people who were bullied for being different" I responded irritated by the conversation that seemed to circle around.
"No not that type of outcasts you moron, did you even look up this school or it's history? Never mind it  doesn't matter this school is for "outcasts" such as werewolves, vampires, psychics, etc."  he said
"Well no I didn't read it I just saw outcasts and assumed it meant kids who got bullied for being different or quirky. Either way those things aren't real your just delusional." I replied quickly
"Me delusional, come on then I'll show you." He said confidently
"Alright then." I said not believing him at all.
We walked into his room. The set up was like ours, each side of the room was decorated differently. Xavier made his way to his desk, sat down and drew a spider.
"Oh man you showed me man." I said trying to hold in my laugh
"Oh shut up, and give me a second." He said focused on his drawing, his hand hovering over it, a couple seconds later it moved,and started crawling around his desk.
"Oh shit! What then hell! How'd you do that?!" I asked surprised making my way closer to his desk to get a better view.
"Ah shit man, sorry for doubting you. That's dope as hell though man." I apologized while staring at the spider
He then snapped and the spider dissolved into dust. "What your not going to freak out and insult me like others do? He asked shocked not looking at me
"Bro let's be realistic even if I wanted to do that, it would be stupid to. Since I don't know the extent of your powers for all I know you can make that shit venomous and kill me in my sleep. Plus that was dope as fuck I wish I had powers." I said awestruck as to what I just witnessed.
"Wait if he has powers does this mean that Blake was telling the truth, and was being serious. Awe shit." I thought
"Wait so your serious about being a normie?"
"Uh yeah, no powers from me. I'm able to attend since I won the scholarship. I also didn't bother reading the website as I thought it meant like Emos, goths, otakus and those types of outcasts." I said
Then I heard it laughter first soft then booming, Xavier turned to face me and he was laughing. "Oh man your a total riot, what type of dumbass applies for a school without reading its history. I can tell we'll become great friends." He said as he wiped away a tear
"Alright man I'll leave you to it I'm going to go and explore the campus and see if i can make any more friends." I said as I waved at him and left his dorm
"Alright man, I'll introduce you to my roommate whenever he gets back from town. Before I forget careful of who you go telling your a human most here have bad experiences with them and would probably put you on some sort of kill list. " said Xavier seriously
"Thanks for the heads up man, but it'll probably be announced when Ms.Weems announces the winner of the scholarship. " I said
"Well if she does I've got your back." He said seriously
"Well thank you." I said as a smile painted itself on my face
As I made my way down the hallway to the staircase, and then subsequently down the stairs into the lobby of the residence hall. Which seemed like the lobby of some high end hotel only without a receptionist. I looked around looking at the furniture. There was 2 sofas and 4 arm chairs which all seemed comfortable enough to sleep in. Along with 2 round tall tables with 2 chairs each meant to be used for studying as there were wall outlets easily accessible. At one of those tables there was a tan short male with black hair and square framed glasses. He seemed to be watching a video of some sort. So I made my way over to him.
"Hey sorry to bother you mind if I take a seat?" I asked
"Huh, you asking me?" He asked seemingly confused with a stranger coming up to him
"Yeah." I responded "my name is Y/n L/n by the way." Stretching my hand out for a handshake
"Ah sorry I'm not used to being approached, but I'm Eugene Ottinger." He said while taking my hand to shake it seeming to have relaxed a bit
"Nice to meet you Eugene, would it be fine if I take a seat?" I asked
"Likewise. Yes please be my guest." He responded quickly "if you don't mind me asking what are your thoughts on bees?" He asked enthusiastically
"Well I like the honey they make, I have also wanted to try honeycomb but I've never had the chance too. Other than that I don't have any real opinion on them. Why do you ask?"  I replied 
"Oh I just love bees, I actually want to see if I'll be allowed to make a beekeeping club." He told me passionately
"Oh that sounds cool if you do I'll be your first member if you wouldn't mind having me. So if you don't mind me asking,why you're so passionate about bees?"  I asked him
"Really that would be great Y/n. Well you see I've never really ever fit in anywhere, or had friends. Well bees have always been there for me ,it's as if they can understand me and they're very good at keeping secrets." He said a bit downcast
"I'd assume they are good at keeping secrets. Well you won't have to worry about not having friends as you've already made your first." I said smiling
"Really we're friends?" Eugene asked surprised
"Of course, why else would I have approached you." I asked chuckling
A phone started to ring  "It was nice meeting you Y/n but my mother is calling me. I'll see you around." Eugene said as he got up from his spot at the table.
"Well see you around" I replied
"Ok so I've made 2 new friend not bad Y/n not bad at all, I still got 20 minutes to go and explore might as well" I thought to myself
Getting up from my spot in the table, and walking towards the entrance doors. I push one open and make my way outside. Taking a nice deep breath of fresh air and look around taking in the surroundings. There seems to be groups of people around this patio area.
"Yeah two friends is more than enough for today." I thought, as I needed an excuse as to why I shouldn't approach any of the groups. 
Looking around I see an open table, as I make my way over to it I observe each group. There seems to be 4 main groups, can't really tell what they are maybe Blake or Xavier can tell me later. When I eventually make it up to the table I take a seat and put my head down the weather is perfect for an afternoon nap. As I'm starting to doze off a excited voice greets me.
"Hi there, I'm Enid Sinclair." Said a blonde girl with blue and pink highlights with an infectious smile
"Huh, oh nice to meet you, Enid I'm Y/n." I said trying to purge the drowsiness from almost falling asleep.
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you? She said looking concerned
"Ah no it's fine it's probably better that I don't fall asleep I have something to do in like 15ish minutes. So I should be thanking you." I said trying to reassure her
"Oh that's good, mind if I take a seat?" She asked
"Oh you're fine." I responded
"What happened for you to get that scar?" Enid asked looking at the scar on my left eye curiously
"A bit direct aren't you?" I laughed
"Oh I'm sorry if it's a sensitive topic. I was just curious." She said panic evident in her voice
"Don't worry bout it, I actually got this somewhat recently,. I was in a fight and he got me good but I got him back." I told her
"Woah, why were you fighting him? She asked leaning in closer
"Well we were fighting in the tournament for the scholarship." I answered
"Oh right that's a thing. So what are you? I'm a werewolf" She asked changing the subject abruptly
"I'd rather keep it a secret. Sorry." I told her looking away as to not make eye contact
"Don't worry." She responded happily "Do you have an Instagram? I could get so we can stay in contact? She asked eagerly
"Yeah let me just type it in." I said as I grabbed the phone she was handing to me
"Well I have to go." she said as she got up "I'm going to go get lunch, unless you want to come with me" she smiled
"I would love to but unfortunately I have to go with my roommate, to see Ms.Weems." I stated
"Oh that sucks" her smile faltering for a second "Maybe tomorrow then?" She asked
"Yeah why not, I shouldn't have anything planned." I said
She nodded as she got up from the table we were sitting at, and walked away.
"My goodness my eyes have been blessed with this beautiful woman." I thought as I watched her walk away.
Getting up from the table, I stared to walk about towards the residence hall, as I still had 5 minutes left before I needed to be there but I think I've had enough exploring for one day. As I made my way upstairs and into my room I saw Blake laying down on his bed with his headphones on.
"You're back earlier then I expected you to be, in all honesty, I thought I was going to have to hunt you down." Said Blake with a smile.
"Oh ha ha." I said as I took a seat on my bed
"We should make our way to Ms.Weems office, no?" I asked Blake
He nodded and got up
"Let's go then" he said
Background conversations was all that was heard as we walked towards Ms.Weems office, as we walked in silence. We approached a door that had a name plate on it which stated principal's office. Blake then knocked behind the door we heard a muffled voice that told us to enter. After entering Tommy and Richard where there sitting while on there phones. Richard was the first to look up, his face immediately turned from bored to a wide smile.
"Y/n how are you man, it's as if you disappeared on us after the tournament" Richard said excited to see me
"It because he was in a coma remember idiot Ms.Weems even told us." Tommy told him without skipping a beat or looking up from his phone.
"Oh right." Richard said sheepishly
During our interaction I could see Ms.Weems was staring at us smiling happily at the bond we seemed to have made after knowing each other.
"Ok, we'll be headed down to Jericho so you guys can get decor for your rooms, please remember that you are representing Nevermore so do try no to get into fights." She said looking towards our group seriously.
Opening the top drawer of her desk she pulled out four envelopes all numbered one through four in Roman numerals
"These contain the prize money for each of you." She said as she handed them to each of us Blake receiving the one numbered 1, Tommy the one numbered two, Richard the third and me the fourth and final one.
"You guys can get whatever you may need or want. Just know towels, and other basic toiletries will be supplied for your as your dorms are the only ones with private bathrooms." Ms.Weems told us
"Will you accompany us ? Or will you just be dropping us off?" I asked
"I had planned on accompanying you, but I have a faculty meeting so I will have to drop you guys off and then when you feel your done you can just call me." She said as she got up from her desk and made her way to the door  "Let us go before it gets any later"
As we followed her to the van, I could see that the other students were staring at us as we walked through the patio area. We got into the car after walking for 5 minutes and Ms.Weems started to drive towards town. After 30 minutes of driving I saw a sign that read welcome to Jericho.
"Remember guys do not cause any trouble." Ms.Weems said in a very serious tone
"Ok." we all said practically at the same time
She then stopped in front of a furniture store. We all thanked her for the ride as we got out of the car. The town had a very creepy feel to it, it looked like a old style town that would be in a "Friday the 13th" type of movie.
"Alright let's go get furniture." I said walking towards the stores entrance
"Oh do you actually need furniture?" Asked Richard
"Yeah, you don't?" I asked looking at him incredulously
"Nah our families just bought us the stuff and sent it to us like 2 weeks ago man." He said nonchalantly
"well all I'm getting is clothes, since I didn't even have my own room back home." I told him
"So your not like us?" He said confusion on his face
"What rich? No or why else would I have applied for a scholarship?" I asked looking at there faces to see if they were joking
"Well that, and you didn't join it just to fight? Everyone who joins that scholarship is usually just to fight not for like actual financial help." He said
"Obviously he didn't idiot, he didn't even know what "outcasts" were." Said Tommy as he pulled one of Richard's rabbit ears
"Alright I'm going in, to look for a lamp and see what else might be interesting." I said as I walked into the store
"We're right behind you." Said Blake
As we wondered the store looking around I could tell that the employees were watching us intently, as if we were criminals with a record of being thief's. Eventually finding a nice desk lamp that reminded me of the one that crushes the I in Pixar movies, and paying for it. As we were walking out Blake, Tommy and Richard were looking at a couch. Without even turning around Blake asked "Do you think it would fit in our dorm?"
"I don't think it fitting in the room would be the issue, but rather how would you get it up the stairs." I told him
"Me and Richard should be able to jump it up to the balcony" Tommy said matter-of-factly
"What is our room going to be the hangout spot?" I asked
"Obviously it's bigger than our room."  Said Tommy
"Then sure go for it we'll make it fit if it doesn't." I said chuckling
"Ok." Said Blake before walking to an employee to purchase it and have it delivered to the academy
"Thank you come again." Said an employee as we left
"Well we have an hour before Weems comes and gets us. Let's get tattoos?" Said Richard looking excited
"Of what carrot muncher." Said Tommy
"Hey I'll have you know that's offensive, demon spawn." Richard said quickly "Anyway we could get our Roman numerals tatted on us. Hell I'll even pay for them." He continued
We all looked at one another and silently agreed. So we made our way to the conveniently place tattoo parlor across the street, because I mean who doesn't want to go get a tattoo after buying some furniture. As we walked in the man who was sitting at the desk, immediately smiled when he saw Richard.
"So you were able to convince them eh Richard?" The man said with a smile
"Something like that." Richard replied
After discussing where we would get the numbers we each sat at a different tattoo artists table. As we all sat down and the artists started there prep work Blake turned towards me and asked if I had though about what he had told me earlier that day.
"Look man do as you please, if your happy following a "normie" do as you please. Just think it through I wouldn't want you to be ostracized. After all I'm weaker than you" I said seriously
His laughter boomed in the small shop "Oh man you worried about me. I doubt my family would care in all honesty. Being a leader doesn't mean bring the strongest it just means you'll do what needs to be done, when it to be done."
"Normie?!" Everyone besides me and Blake yelled surprised
"Yes. I'm just a normal human being who was dumb and didn't read anything about the school." I said while smiling
"Oh man your a crazy son of a bitch man." Said the owner of the shop as his employees nodded there heads in agreement
I just laughed, and shrugged, and the artists just smiled and started to tattoo us. Tommy got his number on his trapezius, Blake got it on the left side of his neck, Richard got it on his arm, and I settled to getting it on the back of my right hand.
"Man Y/n not bad you only cried for 3/4th of the tattoo." Laughed Richard
"Yeah we'll I'm just a human, with normal pain tolerance." I responded eyes red
"Did you cry when getting all those earrings you have? Tommy said laughing
"As if these were way less painful." I responded chuckling
After Richard payed the tattoos and we tipped the artists. We decided to go to a cafe for the last 20 minutes before Ms.Weems was set to pick us up. As we walked up to the cafe named Weathervane and a bell jingled as we entered it.
"Welcome in." said a dirty blonde teenager wearing a brown shirt and red apron behind the counter.
"Hi, can I get a black coffee" asked Blake turning his head to ask what we wanted
"I'll take an ice coffee" said Tommy
"Me too" added Richard
"I'll take some green tea please." I said
"Ok coming right up." the cashier replied
We decided to take a seat at a booth with Blake and Richard on the inside, while Tommy and I were on the ends. I got up to use the bathroom quickly. After getting back and waiting a bit longer the server came over with our drinks, we thanked him as he placed them on the table. As we were silently enjoying our drinks, a drunk adult approached our table.
"Hey everyone! Look at these freaks thinking they can come to our town and act as if they're one of us." said a man as he put his hand on Tommy's shoulder causing him to tense up and turn towards the man
“Hey would you mind moving your hand from my buddies shoulder.” I asked trying to not sound as scared as I felt
“Oh tough guy aye?” He said having moved his hand from Tommy’s shoulder to the table and leaned in closer
“Hey leave those guys along Mr.Rodgers.” Said the cashier
“Oh stay the hell out of this Galpin! You fucking brat!” The now identified Mr.Rodgers yelled
Motioning my head for us to get up and leave, getting small nods from the other three as we started to get up
“Hey no need for problems sir we were just leaving anyways.” I said as I got out of the booth allowing Blake to get up too
“Oh you don’t want problems yet you had no problems coming to our town? He said as he grabbed my shoulder seeming to have gotten angrier by my statement
“Ah shit how are we going to get out of this one?” I thought as I something Blake told me earlier came to mind please work “Blake can you hear me?” I thought hopefully
“So you were paying attention to what I told you earlier.” Blake responded mentally looking at me from the corner of his eye for a split second with a small smirk
“I don’t know if it’s possible for you to communicate with Tommy and Richard somehow, if so do it and get out there’s a second exit they can use straight back and to the right. I saw it when I went to the bathroom earlier.” I relayed to him mentally
“I’ll let them know, and link them in as they’ve been part of my pack since middle school.” He reported “I was able to link them successfully sir.” he said with the tone of a solider
“Can you all here me? If so bend your right index finger in order ascending.” I said as I glanced at each of them trying to not make it obvious to the drunken older man
I looked down to Blake’s hand first and saw his finger bend, then Tommy’s and finally Richard’s. A subtle smirk made its way onto my face as I sharply exhaled trying to not laugh out of joy
“Something funny you punk.” Said the man as he shoved me back
“Run now, your all faster than me go and find Ms.Weems, or actually give me 5 minutes if I’m not out by then go and find her otherwise wait across the street.” I told them through the link
“Will you be fine?” Asked Blake mentally
“Oh please who gave you that scar? So now go!”
In the blink of an eye Blake turned around and ran towards the front door, while Richard jump over a table and ran, and Tommy turned and ran out both making there way towards the back door as the man went to grab Tommy I spartan kicked him in his stomach causing him to stumble back and focus on me.
“You’ll be fighting me.” I said with newfound confidence
“Oh I’m going to enjoy killing you, fucking freak!” He shouted as he rushed towards me
Quickly grabbing the mug that held my tea earlier I swung it and it hit him on the face landing a solid hit causing the mug to shatter against the left side of his face. Causing him to stumble the right, which i immediately followed up with a kick to the face that missed since I slipped on some drops of the tea that spilt when the mug broke. Catching myself from falling, I was able to push him down as he was trying to stand back up as he hit his face against the tough wooden flooring of the cafe a sickening crunch was heard. The empty shop was silent besides the heavy breathing of Mr.Rodgers, getting on one knee, and raising his head by his hair.
“You damn monsters thinking your superior to us, normal humans!” He said as blood pored from his obviously broken nose hatred in his eyes
“Unfortunately for you I’m just a human, I dumb normal human who didn’t know.” I whispered to him with a smile
A laugh escaped my lips as his eyes widen in shock at my statement. Know that no matter who he told they’d doubt him
“Oh and if I ever hear you talk shit about one of my friend or classmates, I’ll make sure you regret it. So I hope this makes you change your views on the Nevermore students. Since we’re 10 times more monstrous ” I said looking down at him with a smirk
“Now I hope we can put this behind us, and start on the right foot. Don’t forget to apologize to Mr.Galpin here. Sorry bout the nose.” I said as I pat his back and he just nods
“How much for the mug I destroyed?” I ask the cashier
With a surprised look “uh $4 bucks should be fine.” He replied not to sure what to say
“Sounds good I say as I put a ten on the counter. Take the change as a tip and sorry bout the mess.” I said as I turned to leave checking the time on my phone
“Oh thank you, please come again; don’t worry about the mess” He said smiling
As I made it out with 30 seconds left I made my way across and nodded towards the three boys, and motioned my head as for them to cross the road and join me
“Let’s not keep Ms.Weems waiting boys” I said as they patted my back
“That shit was dope man!!” Said Richard as slapped my back
“Ah shit that hurt you asshole!” I said while shoving him with my shoulder
“What did you tell him?” Asked Tommy
“Just that I hoped he would treat Nevermore students with respect, and that I’m a “normie” and I hoped we could put this all behind us. Oh and apologized for the broken nose.” I said as that last thing caused them to stop mid step and look at each other as I continued walking
“Oh man your rugged, where’d you learn to fight like that man?” Asked Richard excitedly
“Oh I just used to play a lot of MMA on the xbox 360 with my brothers and well play enough and having brothers you just start mimicking what you see and do in game.” I said laughing at the memories of my brother and I playing and play fighting
As we walked they just looked at me as if I’d grown a second head
“I look fine right?” I asked them
They just nodded still shocked at my earlier statement of where I had learned to fight. Ms.Weems was in her car waiting for us. I waved at her as we approached her car and got in. I was up front and the other three made there way to the back.
“So how was the trip?” Ms.Weems asked smiling
“It was fun I got a lamp and Blake ended up getting a couch for the dorm. We got tattoos and went to get something warm at the Weathervane.” I said smiling
“Oh that’s nice…. WAIT TATTOOS?!” She yelled while looking at us shocked as we just smiled and showed her
“Oh are you going to want to left over money back? I think I have like $100 bucks left.” I asked disregarding her worries about the tattoos
“No you can keep it, it is yours after all, I will be needing an explanation on the tattoos, so don’t think you’ve gotten away with it.” She stated looking at me
“When will your furniture be delivered?” She asked
“Tomorrow.” Blake stated
We pulled up to the school, thanking Ms.Weems as we exited the car and made our way to the dining hall to get some food. As we walked I noticed that Blake was to my right, Tommy to my left and Richard directly behind me, almost as if they were knights protecting a king. Causing me to smile, and make our way to the serving area and got our food I decided on some ground beef tacos with tomato, lettuce, cilantro,onion, salsa and sour cream. The others got more basic foods like two slices of cheese pizza for Richard, two chicken sandwiches for Blake and a grilled chicken salad for Tommy. As we all sat down and started to eat, I noticed Enid walking by and looking towards me so I wave at her and she does the same. At the same time I see Eugene walking with his food towards the exit.
“Eugene come and eat with us man!” I shout across the hall
He turns and walks towards us and sits down.
“This is Eugene guys, Eugene the guy with the werewolf ears is Blake my roommate, Richard is the one with the rabbit ears and Tommy is the one with the horns.” I said introducing them to one another
As the meal progressed Eugene started to open up more and more getting more comfortable as time passed. Talking more about himself and bees as we just listened and asked questions and joked around with one another. After an hour and a half of eating and conversation we decided to make our way to our dorms. As me and Blake enter our room we fall onto our beds exhausted from todays events. Then we realized we didn’t lock the door so we had to play paper, rock, scissors to see who would get up and I lost. Getting into my bed I fell asleep as soon as my head touched my pillow.
__________________________
Thank you for reading the second chapter of my book. 
There will be one more chapter that takes place prior to Wednesdays arrival and it's going to basically be the next day, then some school related things and probably building the relationships between Y/n, Enid and Xavier and possibly Rowan.
Or let me know if there's someone specific you may want to make a relationship with

ALSO for future reference (NOT A DIG AT GOBLINO I LOVE YOU), the thing about egghog shadow obsessively cleaning has been ditched since it was decided he has canon OCD. it was too stereotypical and since i don't have OCD and it's not a main factor of the story at hand it would be disrespectful to include the stereotype without the nuance / the why - it's not really my story to tell. anyway he's still turbo anxious and has compulsions (and frequent violent and disturbing intrusive thoughts that upset him and are difficult for him to manage in a healthy way) but doesn't obsessively clean in particular
he DOES do a lot of checking and keeps himself up to very strict moral standards/social rules. he's VERY hard on himself being the "best" person he can be and has a lot of moral obsessive themes both before and after he was with eggman. has some magical thinking and compulsions around that (slap this robot five times EXACTLY so that it doesn't malfunction. ok do it again. we need MORE SLAPS to make it the MOST FUNCTIONAL) but they vary from day to day. most of his super consistent compulsions are checking - is the oven off, is the door locked, is this accurate to the blueprint. on bad days it can be SUPER disruptive because the checks take up hours of his time he could be doing something else.
the checking compulsion was more in. check. (badum tsh) (as well as his anxiety) when he was with the empire because his schedule and brain were so packed with shit to do that he didn't have the mental room or physical energy to indulge. in tails' workshop, it really sets in and gets much worse before it gets better. first time he shows one (1) square inch of fur on his legs it took SO long to even muster the courage to go outside because it broke The Rule about not showing ANY skin or fur below the neck (one of eggman's rules). but when he overcomes some of those super rigid rules (it takes a while to break through a lot of this stuff) he feels way more free
he's never cured or anything but he figures out to manage the obsessions/compulsions a lot better as time goes on. hashtag healing. he's going to therapy entirely offscreen

Orbsarmor: What Could Possibly Go Wrong
Tumblr media
Here we go again.
Tumblr media
Not a tree in sight, nor another living being. Which means no beds, at least not until we've made it to the caverns. But uhh, speaking of which...
Tumblr media
The very first frame I unpaused, I was told "a section of the cavern has collapsed," which is really quite strange. So I went to reveal it, just to check - and see how far we'd need to dig down before we hit trees, and, well... we won't. These are not cavern layers. That green stuff? It's grass. Trees do not seem to grow in it, or at least, none of them have yet. Oh, and some of those little "HFS tubes" might have shattered down on the third cavern layer. If you don't know what that means, absolutely do not worry about it one little bit okay. Either way, if we want any kind of farming to ever happen here, we'll have to get down there and get to work on it. And we basically need farming to happen here, but before any of that we need stairs, a way of dealing with the aqueduct (I'm just going to reuse the Blackfaint method since decapods actually like waterfalls) and some kind of meager little production setup.
Tumblr media
And fuck it, here we are at -62, starting a production area with Amontillado'able doors. Unfortunately, we have no underground seeds, 3 logs, no trees in sight, and a long time before our first caravan. But the queen gets what the queen wants, and the queen wants the perfect library - far, far away from any and all distractions. Well, it's more than a bit likely we'll just die trying. But I think sometimes you have to think "what if I DON'T fail?" And yeah sure that's been co-opted by all the morons who really run the world and get to blow billions killing themselves in submarines or trying to make AI write all the movies. But I think it obviously has some kind of value anyway.
Tumblr media
There's a yeti up on the surface. And well I'm not saying that we could hunt it for food if we get hungry, but... we could hunt it for food if we get hungry. Just a thought!
Tumblr media
Oh huh, that's pretty early. Well you snooze you lose right. You guys got here early!
Tumblr media
When they ask us what we want, we're not shy. We explain the fucked up caverns problem to them and they just sort of shrug because they don't really go to the caverns.
Tumblr media
We've gotten enough marble blocks carved out and good enough rough gems to get enough plants, meat and fish to tide us over a good while longer, but before we can bring any of it downstairs... this happens? I've never seen this before.
Tumblr media
I think it's because of this?? Are they all about to die of exposure?? Should I be glad I haven't even gone through everybody's character screens yet???
Tumblr media
Nope after a few minutes everyone turned out fine. Nice. Another huge W for crabs. So here we have the beginning of our "starter base," where we intend to make sure we can get self-sufficient before we bother killing ourselves for the paper economy. It'll be... well more than just a little hard, all things considered, but up on the top the orthoclase buildings are our construction workshops, and all the cobaltite ones are for kitchen-related activities. Except for the farmers' workshop, which is kinda food but it kinda flexes to textile production too, which I suppose we'll need to do at least some of.
Tumblr media
Then a random cave-in kills one of our bobbit worms and it just gets me thinking, dude something is really fucking wrong with this whole fortress. I just... I don't think this is going to work man. We can't grow anything, anywhere. I bet you think I'm exaggerating.
Tumblr media
Look this is fucked. Cavern didn't work. Literally nothing up on the surface. We gotta pack this shit up man. We're gonna try this shit somewhere else. Tell the Queen that shit didn't work. Daarunbay Detevay is a glitchy fucking world sometimes. We're just gonna build the library somewhere else. Did you guys take the caravan apart yet? No? Ok good cause we're not going this far man. We're not doing the glacier thing, it's stupid. We're going to the woods a little south. Let's pack up and try this again.

Misfits
Chapter 4: Vines and flowers

Tumblr media

.....

“We’re here kids at your jet” Bucky says while pushing a load with everyone’s bags into the jet “Wow Bucky are why going to fly that!!” Teo says while walk up to Bucky next to his leg “Yep Teo this is what you will be taking to Asgard” Bucky says “Isn’t Asgard like a place you need to teleport to?” Kyra asks “Yes we’re sending you to a location no one can see you teleport so villains don’t notice” Tony says “Bucky well kids hop on we don’t have much time me and Tony and some of the other Avengers need to get to a gala so love you all and hope you all make it back alive” Bucky says waving goodbye while walking In the building with Tony “Well kids hop on we got a princess to watch over” Asami says while hoping on.

The website is migrating and so is my eyeball! (Updates!)
I got myself a clean bill of eyeball alignment! I am within normal range! It does still take me longer to focus because my left eye tries to "go exo" (which means "pull farther to the left," just like my political alignment!) but after a little over 9 months of practice, I'm able to straighten it out. I am, apparently, a hard worker and a fast learner. The doc didn't think I'd be able to fix it this well!
So I'm down to doing maintenance exercises, and I will need to deal with the effects of my age-appropriate presbyopia. Bifocals and progressives are a no-no for me. That's like an obstacle course, and my eye can't take it. That means [drumroll please]... LASIK and reading glasses! I need another checkup to confirm I'm a good candidate for the laser, and then I'll get me some surgery. Hopefully before the end of the year!
Now, as far as story updates go, it looks like your patience will be rewarded with a 12-pack! It probably won't all be illustrated, as I'll need some time for the surgery/new glasses, but I should be able to get you the text in a legible format!
The website is migrating servers today, from the one with the wishy-washy TOS to one that says "Porn OK!" and costs $102 FOR FOUR YEARS. After that, it'll go up to $4.99 a month for one site, but that's still less than I was paying before. My mortality can now be expressed in Hostinger contract renewals! I may live to pay for my webspace 10-15 more times! Max!
Technically, if we don't count labour, materials, and all the years spent in the red, I will be making a profit for the first time ever with just three Patrons! Thank you!
...And, of course, once I get my Canadian residency, I will be burning that Patreon page to the ground and building a new one that seems "family friendly" and has no adult-oriented history or flags. The naughty extra content will go on the site, available for free DL or name-your-price. I will probably lose that one Patron who never talks to me, but I think they've forgotten about that subscription and I don't feel great taking their money in that case anyway. Onward and upward! I hope I can replace them with more new supporters! (Or maybe they're still paying attention and they're just shy. That's cool too!)
In the immediate future, I will get an email notification when my site's all moved, and then I can see what needs fixing. Stuff needed fixing already, due to various updates, so some repairs are inevitable.
Nevertheless, if it's not too much of a disaster, I'm eyeing October 3rd as a restart date. Then you get (potentially) 12 weeks of content! Wow! Then I'll take however long a break I need to illustrate it and fix whatever else broke. Hopefully, I can keep working my my backlog of Tin Soldier illustrations too, but that's on the back burner.
All you Tumblr followers who are here because you like the stream of other people's content I curate: This is a threat. I am only here to get readers for my serial. I will do whatever else I need to put up with to get readers, but if I don't get any, I'm done and onto something else that might work. Y'all don't have to pay for it if you don't want, but I'm trying to build a community for some very patient and supportive people. I don't want to spend spoons for no community. I do not have a lot of spoons to spend.
People are doing complicated internet things to the site today, so no links yet, but once I bang it back into shape, I will get back to begging for attention in the best ways I can.
