Has IAM.O turned out how you thought it would when you started the blog?
I think I was less critical than others of CPom in that first season. Looking back, I remember Charlie White saying that he didn’t get the music shift in the Wicked Game program and felt it didn’t hang together — I didn’t take that seriously because I never found DW’s programs or artistry to be compelling. (But easier to pick apart a program as a commentator than to actually provide your students with good material, eh?)
I always felt Scott and his team would do good work, but I was not optimistic that the teams he had would have the talent/tenacity to move up in mostly crowded fields in their home countries. I’ve been really surprised at the level of success the IAM.O team has had with their junior program as well as with the senior teams.
i thought Scott had the personality to be a good coach, he obviously brings a lot to the table, but it takes time to find yourself when you do something new, so i didn’t have any expectations of IAMO. it’s been a pleasure to follow though
Charlie made a Wicked Game long program for Vanessa James and M*rg*n C*pr*s in 2018-19. so he probably had strong opinions on it. it didn’t seem disrespectful to me. i’m like you, i'm not drawn to DW's style or most of their programs. but i did like the tango program MIDA made for Wolfkostin/Tsarevskiy this season. i think they have a fundamentally wrong take on who Gr/Pa are, though - putting Charlie choreo on Michael and not taking advantage of Caroline's dance ability, idgi. MIDA feels like they're operating skating-wise and music wise from the era they know - Charlie said he thinks all the time what would Marina do. well, Marina did that at least 10 years ago. but we'll see where they go from here
by comparison, IAMO feels more versatile and in present time. i think they *see* their teams, meaning they get who they're working with and are meeting them where they are rather than trying to mold them after themselves. and i appreciate that they recognize when they need to pivot and tend to nail the adjustments - like Haley and Nik's samba RD - the program was a little sleepy in the fall, but they got so sharp between fall and Nationals that season. or the work they've been doing on CPom's programs this season. you feel guidance with good instincts behind work that feels centered on the people who are going out on the ice. "do it like you can," rather than about getting them to meet an expectation
similar to what CPom were saying, i’m wondering if Scott’s thinking if he focuses on growing the teams in the right way, the results will follow. it’s been true so far

Praying that the blood doesn’t stain [rd]
Author’s note: I cried so much while writing this one, I don’t even know what to say to you, girls, this broke my heart. Thank you to the anon who requested insecure dad!Rúben, sorry this took such a huge turn 😭 Hope you somehow enjoy this!
Warnings: there’s mentions of death and blood in this one ‼️
wc: 2107 - English is not my first language! Feedback is always appreciated
Tumblr media
There’s no biggest joy in Rúben’s life than his family. You and your daughter, Matilde, really are the light of his eyes. The little girl has him wrapped around her tiny finger, he could never say no her.
“Daddy, can I paint your nails pink?” - the 4 year old would ask him in her cute voice.
“You want to paint my nails, Mati? Of course, but choose a pretty shade of pink that matches daddy’s game shirt, okay?” - he would say to her in a soft voice, always smiling at his baby.
Matilde would do everything with his dad. Anywhere Rúben went, Matilde was there too, always tightly held at his hip, or taking her slow baby steps towards her daddy’s direction.
And Rúben couldn’t stop thanking God, the stars, destiny, whatever put you in his way: the love of his life that made him a dad, the most important role of his life. Nothing could top the importance that you and Matilde had in Rúben’s life, he would always put his girls first. He never felt so happy, with his daughter on his lap and his wife by his side, living in your indestructible bubble of love.
But it all changed two years ago. Rúben will never forget that fateful afternoon, he was having a tea party with your baby, when he got the call from the hospital. A drunk driver hit your car while you were on your way home, making Rúben losing his other half, forever. The news hitting him like a shot in the chest, straight to the heart.
He will never recover from your absence, leaving him to raise the light of your lives all by himself. Matilde is now six years old, she has already started school, now learning how to draw her first letters. Rúben still cries himself to sleep every single night, thinking about you, about how unfair fate was to both of you. You just had your baby, Matilde was only four years old when she lost his mother.
He misses you so fucking much, and your daughter does too. Rúben finds it incredible how Matilde remembers so much of you, always remembering things that you used to say to her, plays and jokes that you had with her. Rúben secretly believes that you talk to her in her dreams, because it’s like she has you always by her side.
Rúben tries his best to not break down in front of your child, especially when she asks about you. It’s been tough for Rúben to be a single dad, missing your support, the way you always seemed to make every thing right. He never looked at another woman again, his eyes and heart belonging to his daughter only - as well as to you, forever. He still wears his wedding ring, never taking it off. He hates the fact that life didn’t allowed him to say goodbye to you, to give you one last kiss. The last time he told you he loved you was over the phone, while you informed him that you were on your way home. Him and Mati cheekily saying “we love youuuu”, over the phone, while Rúben would pretend to drink a cup of tea, wearing a tiara on his head and sitting besides Berny - the bunny, and Johnny - the bear, named after Bernardo and John Stones, Rúben’s friends and Mati’s uncles.
His friends and family never left his side, they notice that Rúben has never been the same again after what happened, everybody knows it.
Matilde is the only thing that can make him smile, making him feel alive as he teaches her how to write her name, paints ballerinas and flowers with her, cooks for her and teaches her how vegetables and fruits are important for her health. Rúben’s life mission is educating his girl in the best possible way he can, be by her side at all times and protect her from every one and every thing.
Every time Rúben looks at his daughter, his heart stings a little, she looks so much like you now. She has your eyes, your smile. At the same time, there’s nothing that he loves more than looking at his baby, resembling the love of his life so much, like you’re still with them.
He can’t do his daughter’s hair as pretty as you could, but Matilde is a gentle and caring girl, she always has a smile on her face and a compliment to give to her dad. “I love my ponytails daddy, you did great” - she would always notice every morning after Rúben would neatly comb her hair, using her favourite pink hair clips with butterflies on them.
She would thank him with a gentle kiss on his cheek, his favourite feeling in the world being the love of your daughter, the way she would tightly wrap her tiny arms around his neck when he would pick her up, how she would hold his hand while walking in the street, her loving kisses on her father’s face, and the way she laughs when his beard tickles her.
When Matilde is at school and Rúben founds himself alone, he lets his thoughts take advantage of him. You are always on his mind, there’s not a second when he isn’t thinking about you. But when nobody is watching, he cries his heart out, still questioning life about the reason why they took you away from him. He often goes to the cemetery, to talk to you, to tell you everything about Matilde - even though he knows you’re always watching over her, protecting your baby. He drops kisses on your grave, whispering how much he loves you, how much he misses you. And how badly he needs you more and more as time goes by. Matilde is getting bigger and she needed her mother too.
After he picks her up from school, Rúben is cooking dinner for the both of them, while his daughter is playing in the garden. He gets lost in his thoughts, unable to stop himself to think how the house is silent without you in it, how life was never the same.
His daughter’s cry takes him out of his trance. He immediately goes to search her outside, Matilde already running to meet her dad. Rúben’s heart breaks at the sight: his baby’s face is wet from all the tears, and her noise and chin are running blood.
Rúben immediately picks her up and rushes to the bathroom, sitting his daughter on the counter, while he tries to clean up her wounds. The little girl hisses and whimpers in pain, poor child fell while playing on the rocks - bruising her knees too. Rúben stops the bleeding and decorates his girl’s wounds with pink band-aids that have hearts in them. Those make Matilde smile a little bit, as she stretches her arms to hug his dad. Rúben holds her tightly, the girl hiding her sad face on his dad’s neck. He kisses her head non-stop, now lying in bed with his daughter still in his chest.
Matilde sleeps in Rúben’s bed now. It’s been like this since you passed away, he feels like he can’t sleep alone anymore - his nightmares about your accident chasing him every night.
The two of them stay silent as Rúben is still leaving kisses on his precious baby and stroking her back carefully. All of the sudden, there’s a little sound.
“Daddy?” - Matilde asks quietly, her voice sounding muffled from her face still being hidden on her dad’s neck.
“Yes, amor?” - Matilde knows a lot of portuguese now, understanding all the pet names and the lectures her father gives her sometimes.
“I miss mommy” - she admits with a little cry escaping her eyes.
Rúben closes his eyes and sighs. “I know, baby. I miss her too” - he admits to his daughter, his voice threatening to fail as well.
“Do you still love her, even though she’s not here with us?” - the little girl questions, her big brown eyes now looking up at his father, who kissed her forehead before speaking.
“Of course I do, filha. Have you stopped loving mommy?” - he asks her back and smiles when the girl firmly shakes her head ‘no’.
“You see, mommy is not physically here with us, but she’s always around. She’s always inside of us, here” - he points at the where his heart is located.
“In our hearts?” - Matilde confirms the place.
“In our hearts, baby. You know the necklace you wear every single day, since you were little?” - Rúben references the silver necklace that has a butterfly, a flower and the letter ‘M’ engraved on a plate in a round shape. You bought it and personalised it to gift it to your daughter.
The initial letter of her name, the butterfly - to let her know that she can always rebirth and become the best version of herself, and a flower - a tulip, to be more specific. The tulip is the flower that represent the perfect love, and you put it on her necklace so she can always remember that she is fruit of a gigantic and true love, yours and Rúben’s, and his mission is to teach her how to never set for anything less than the love his parents shared, that got her into his world.
“My necklace, yes” - the girl answers while her hand instinctively reaches to touch it.
“Mommy gave it to you, and while you have it on, she’s always looking down at you and protecting you. That’s why you can never take it off, Mati” - her father explained.
The girl just smiled at his father, and hugged him tightly, knowing that he is all that she has, but feeling in her heart that her mother is always by her side.
That night, while Matilde was peacefully sleeping in his chest, Rúben couldn’t fall asleep, no matter how hard he tried.
His mind was rushing from the previous events - remembering her face full of tears and blood, the conversation about you. Rúben can’t help but doubt himself as a father - it happens more often that he would like to.
It’s been two years, but he’s still discovering how to be a solo father, an adventure that he had to take on with his daughter - not really having a choice. And sometimes he can’t help but doubt his ‘daddy abilities’ - fighting himself for not being attentive enough to protect Matilde from hurting herself on those damn rocks. That’s his job, for fucks sake. He needs to pay full attention to his baby, to prevent this type of things from happening. He would never forgive himself if something happened to the light of his life.
He misses you, your advices. He misses your mom side, you were the perfect mother to Matilde, and he can’t help but imagine how would life be if you were still here with them. Matilde has a lot of your personality, she is extroverted, funny, smiley and bubbly - just like you were. There’s times where she gives Rúben some sassy answers, leaving him speechless, having an attitude just like yours. He looks at pictures of you two, when you started dating, and some pictures already after Matilde was born. He knows that the blood on Matilde’s wounds won’t stain her clothes, but the blood surrounding your loss will forever stain his heart, his mind, his life.
Life without you doesn’t seem worthy of living most of the times to him, but his baby is the only thing pushing him from the ground. She’s his partner in life now, filling his heart with love and laugh when all he wants to do is cry.
The moments when they sing in the car on their way to school, when Matilde makes Rúben dance like a proper ballerina - making him wear a pink tutu and all, make his life worth living. His baby’s laugh means the world to him, gives him strength and hope in a brighter future.
He wishes you were here with him, reassuring him that everything was going to be okay. But, the way your daughter starts stirring in her sleep, and holds herself tightly to him for comfort and protection, already looks like a sign to him. He’s a good dad, and he and Mati will never be alone, since they have the most beautiful and bright star looking down at them, protecting and guiding them - forever.

In Baltimore City, MD: Lovely 15 y/o senior fella with pretty, sparkly blue nail caps is seeking a home for his golden years - BARCS, Baltimore MD
- Senior in Need-
Peppercorn- 15 years, altered male, 7.3lbs
FELV-/FIV-
"Hey there, I'm Peppercorn! I may be 15 years old, but I've still got plenty of delightful 'cattitude' left in me. Sadly I was surrendered to the shelter, but let's not dwell on the past; I'm all about the future and living my golden years like a superstar. My previous family said I'm laid back and loving, and they're absolutely right – I'm all about lounging in the sun and getting my daily dose of chin scratches."
Peppercorn's previous parent noted that as he's grown older, he has been less interested/less tolerant of other cats and kids, and was also starting to have accidents outside of the litter box. Although he may just finally be ready to be the center of attention (I mean, given his age, he's earned it), not feeling well may also have been a contributing factor as well.
You see, a full medical workup done through our shelter has revealed that Peppercorn has an elevated T4, meaning he is hyperthyroid. He has been started on a prescription Y/D diet for now, and it is recommended bloodwork be rechecked in a couple of weeks to reassess values. He's lost a bit of weight since arriving in our care and vets aren't too concerned at this time, but we are monitoring for any further weight loss just in case.
No senior should spend their days in a shelter, and handsome senior guy, Peppercorn, is of course no exception. He deserves to spend the rest of his golden years in a home in luxurious comfort.
Peppercorn is available immediately for rescue pick-up.
Please let us know if your organization can help!
Thank you,
The BARCS Rescue Team
Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS)
​New Address! 2490 Giles Rd, Baltimore, MD 21225
[email protected]| (410) 396-4695
Rescue pick-up hours:
Monday-Friday: 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m
Adoption hours:
Monday-Friday: 2 p.m.-6 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Well, I guess it's time to address the situation... or the lack of situation lol This is gonna be long, be warned. There's a TL;RD at the end if you wanna skip the wall of text. To start, thank you to the two anons who took the time to read the comic and prod me about it and the new people who started following this tumblr in spite of the Hiatus warning. Altho this place has been collecting dust for more than a year now, I'm still around, updating my side reblogs tumblr, so it's not like I dropped from the face of the earth.
The truth is, at this moment in time, I've feel out of love with making this comic. It was always a lot of work due to me being a perfectionist. I never used any extra rendering apps, all you've seen here is raw sims images and a lot of work on Photoshop, so much so it gave me a muscle contracture on my right shoulder (because I did all my work in bed with my laptop/drawing tablet in my lap. I never said I was a smart person lol) that still flares up from time to time because I learned nothing. Then the VA fandom was already quite small by the time I started doing this in 2015 and I never really advertised this in the fandom anyway. I always got the impression most of the fandom didn't like the OG comics as it was and most of the people that followed the comic were sims 2 fans because, well, it's made with the sims and the images were pretty (forever holding in my heart the people you said this <;3) The recent "Vampire Academy" TV series (it was just in names, honestly) was the final nail in the coffin of my motivation. After information had leaked I was already disappointed in it, but after actually watching it, yeah no. Only plus to it was the surprise to see it was partially filmed in my country, in places where I have been myself. And lastly, and probably most importantly, I struggle with motivation a lot. It happens to us all, I am sure. It's no secret that I hated to panel, if I'd start all over again I'd just post the big images like many of you telling stories are doing now, it'd be less of a stress for me, but alas, I can't change formats now. And I said many times I was doing it mostly for myself, because I did love the comics based on the books, but doing it for yourself only gets you so far until you get bored. And I got bored. I'm actually surprised my hyper-focus on it lasted for as long as it did. I haven't been to Photoshop for editing - I used to make photomanipulations and other kinds of editing - for way over a year, so it's not only the comic that stopped.
I still have 7 pages to end chapter 6 in various degrees of editing, Veninorchid and Esotheria-sims have seen them, so they exist lol I will eventually finish editing them - it's mostly a Romitri flashback - and post them. But after that, I will have to decide how to proceed. Spending less time editing would help, but lowering the quality of my pages, the only thing people like about it, really doesn't sit well with me, because yeah, perfectionist.
So at the very least the remaining pages will be posted in early 2024, I might go back to it slowly, a little bit everyday so I don't burn out or put stress on my shoulder. But after that, it's up in the air. It's not like I've been staring at the walls during this time, I had other things taking my goldfish-like attention. I got interested in home bookbinding, which made me dig out old unfinished stories I once started and I've been trying to finish them and later try to bind them, because why the fuck not lol And on my reblogs tumblr I had this set of pictures about a Regency little story that people really loved and I'd like to add to it, but then again, all the editing it'd need *cries* I feel tugged in so many directions I fear I'll end up doing nothing lol
So the TL;DR is, I got bored with the comic because it was too much work and resulted in physical pain, I lacked the motivation and other things got my attention meanwhile. Chapter 6 will be be finished eventually, but after that it's up in the air. Cross my fingers that I get my mojo back while editing those pages. Still, a thank you to all of followed and are still following, sorry these were not the good news you wanted to read just because I made a post. You support up until now was what kept me going in the past, I can't thank you all enough.

So, having not played the games myself and only knowing about things from wiki and the occasional fanfic referencing in-game events I'm in the unfortunate position of adoring Tellius characters with no outlet. But scrolling down your blog has me thinking because you mentioned wondering about situations where Soren or Volke would get down and dirty. So picture if you will "I almost lost you forever" post-battle sex for Soren and stress-relief sex w/dirty talk for Volke.
oh no Friend Anon you activated my trap card
Volke came to mind first, but honestly, your idea for Soren is like one of the only ways I could even imagine him fucking because of just... how he is as a person lmao. So Soren will be coming in the future, I promise you- I keep wanting a good excuse to write him, after all.
To be clear to others btw, I'm not taking new requests right now, this one just hit me in Some Kinda Way. Which is why the impossible has happened and I'm posting writing two days in a row lmao.
Final side note, I literally can't tell you guys how shook I am that FEH has made it clear that the 'e' at the end of Volke's name ISN'T SILENT?? Like... Vol-keh?! What the entire shit.
** quick little TW for both characters being slightly buzzed
Volke (Fire Emblem PoR & RD) x AFAB Reader
NSFW drabbles 18+
"We- we should... go to a room," you say in a breathy whisper, though you're still tugging the front of Volke's cloak, opening one clasp at a time from where you shakily stand, pinned with your back against the storage room wall, "What if... the owner, or- or the barkeep..."
"The owner of this place owes me a few favors and more than a few back-payments," Volke's voice rumbles at the crook of your neck, "As for the barkeep... I frankly don't care what he happens to see," his hands slide under your tunic and up your back, sending shivers through you, "Do you?"
Instead of an answer, you tug him into a deep, messy kiss, and he groans out his approval. Your bodies are warmed by friction and the pleasant buzz of ale, the aches of weeks spent marching and fighting and surviving melting away with every new inch of skin his hands conquer. You feel the graze of his facial scruff against your skin as his tongue teases yours and his body traps you between him and the wall. You've finally managed to open the various layers of his clothing enough to run your hands up his nicely carved abdomen to his chest. Volke utters another low, masculine groan, and his hands grab your backside and pull you firmly against him. Then, his lips are traveling down the side of your neck, and your head is spinning from the heat, his body, the scent of booze and earthy pipe smoke that lingers on his clothes and hair. When at last he reaches the base of your neck, he presses his teeth to the tender skin, and you gasp out his name, your nails raking down his toned musculature.
"Keep making those cute little noises and we'll definitely attract unwanted guests."
"I- I can't help it, you-!"'
His low chuckle grazes across your skin, and before you realize, he's undone the front of your breeches with a single hand that is now pushing down into them.
"I never said I minded."
"Oh-!"
Your head tilts back and you cling to the front of his clothes as his fingers begin to pulse between your thighs. Perhaps you shouldn't be surprised that his hands are inhumanly dexterous, stroking around your clit at just the right angle, hitting just the right pace.
"So- what... is this gonna run me?" you huff the words out between weak whimpers of pleasure, attempting a confident, casual tone.
"I don't charge for these kinds of services," Volke matches your playful tone, in his own subtler way, "Business and pleasure- you understand."
"Shame, that," you gasp as his middle finger rolls a tight circle around the nub of your clit, "You'd... make a killing... Mmmhh..!"
Volke gives a short laugh.
"I'm flattered."
His pace quickens, his touch just a little firmer, and by instinct alone, your hips begin to shift in time with him. He's silent now as he drives you relentlessly closer to the edge, and with your bodies so close, you can't even look up to read his expression. You can only hold onto him in your desperation to steady yourself while his expert fingers send jolts of electrifying pleasure up your center. If he keeps this up for much longer, your knees may very well give out.
"Volke- ohh- fu-fuck, Volke, I'm-!"
"Don't."
His voice at your ear plunges through you, warming you more deeply than any liquor. Then, he pulls his hand from between your legs, and before you can question him, he turns you by your hips to face the wall.
"I want to feel it when you cum."
You brace your arms against the wall in front of you as Volke holds you with your back to him and his lips at your throat once again. Those skillful hands cup your breasts, squeezing and fondling them for just long enough to appreciate their shape in his palms before he moves on, and you arch back against him as his touch travels down your body. When he returns to your hips, he tugs you back to him so that his fully erect cock ruts against the swell of your ass, and you whimper his name. The way he manhandles you is firm and decisive, but not overly harsh, and never without that sense of control and deadly grace that he's known for. It's making your head spin. You need more. Mercifully, he doesn't plan to make you wait.
Volke pulls your clothes out of his way, then grabs a handful of your ass with one hand while his other works his stiff member out from his own clothing. Without a word or any ceremony, he presses the head of his cock to your drooling pussy, then begins to push inside, holding you in place against his thrust. The bulge of the tip and the slight curve of his shaft have him grinding into you in a thousand incredible ways, and your eyes begin to roll back before he's even bottomed out within you. You've wanted this too badly- the thrill of it all has very nearly wiped any thoughts of battle and training and strategizing from your mind. His member is slick with your release in no time, and he grunts into your ear as he begins to fuck steadily into you from behind.
"You feel good... damn good. Squeezing around me like that... Mmh..." His hips pitch forward, driving him in you to the base, filling you, stretching you, forcing a blissful sigh from your parted lips. The hand fondling your ass grips you more firmly, enjoying the erotic sensation of your plump flesh as it jiggles with every thrust. Then, you feel a quick, sharp slap across your backside that causes you to moan aloud, and Volke plants both of his hands on the wall in front of you. He's warm around you, the scent of liquor still potent on his breath, yet each sensation only heightens that of his throbbing cock plunging deep within you over and over.
"Damnit-" Volke's breath hitches, and he groans as he momentarily eases his pace and pushes his member into you slow and firm, "Can't afford to get... addicted to this."
The words seem more for him than for you, muttered in the midst of his efforts to steady himself. But before you even think to question him, his arm is around you and his hand is trailing down the front of your body. Never easing the persistent sway of his hips, his fingertips stroke across your clit once again, and you let out a desperate, blissful moan. Any concern you'd had about being discovered here has long vanished; the onslaught of pleasure is simply too much to bear. His dexterous fingers tend to your most sensitive nerves while his thick member stretches you perfectly around him.
"Fu-fuck, Volke..!"
"That's it, come on- let me feel it," his cock twitches, throbbing at your deepest point, perhaps provoked by the knowledge that you're so dearly close to release. Then, the sensation rushes through you like a crashing wave, and for a moment, you're dizzy and unsteady on your feet. Bracing yourself against the wall and Volke's sturdy frame, you shiver and whine his name as your cunt flexes around his length and your climax overtakes you. Amidst the overwhelming sensation, you barely register that Volke is panting harshly against your ear, his pace stuttering as he feels you cumming on his cock. By the time you feel yourself coming down from that incredible high, you're still shaking, barely keeping yourself upright as he chases his own satisfaction at last.
Volke doesn't say a word- only traps you in place with your back to his chest and both of his hands now gripping hard at your hips. He thrusts forcefully once, then twice, sheathing himself fully in your warmth until you feel his member pulsing with his own release. The way he's throbbing against your tender and over-stimulated inner walls is a shock to your system, but you rally your strength to stay upright while he pours volley after volley of thick cum into you. He utters an earnest and lustful groan, subtly swaying his hips to grant just a bit more of that intoxicating friction as he rides out the last of his orgasm, having filled you and then some. At last, you're both panting, sighing with the blissful aftershocks as the distant sounds of clinking mugs and rowdy tavern-goers float around you.
"Holy... holy fuck..." you gasp as he finally eases out of you. Volke takes a moment to fix his clothes, then turns you to face him, and you hold onto the front of his cloak while you regain your balance. "You... you pent up or something? You've made a real mess of me..." True enough, his load is already dripping slowly down your inner thigh.
"I'm a busy man. Not a lot of leisure time for someone in my line of work during a war. Come on, let's get you cleaned up. Then, another drink," he smirks, "If you're not spent, anyway."
"Generous of you," you reply, wearing a matching grin while you make a passing attempt at sorting your clothes and hair, "though if you're so busy, I'd hate to take up your valuable time."
Volke's shrewd eyes conspicuously scan your body once before eventually meeting yours.
"As I said- business and pleasure."

WIP Wednesday Thursday Game (by @kedreeva)
It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.
Here’s how it works:
In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.
Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!
After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.
That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!
If you’re reading this, you’re invited!
If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.
Let's try this again, without the long ass post of all the other weeks!

Theo started whining again, though his throat was raw, and each sound was like someone was dragging claws over the inside of his trachea. Before Brett made it anywhere near the cave mouth, he smelled the wolf, and the flurry of furious wailing howls in his head rose louder. The pitch of his own whine drove nails through his ribs as they contracted, stabbing into his repeatedly with every breath he tried to take. He sounded lost and scared, sentiments echoed in his chemosignals, as much as he was trying to tamp them down.  Hiding meant being invisible in all ways: sight, sound, and smell. Normally, he was infallible on all accounts, his dark coat blending into shadows while his innate control took over, obfuscating him in the remaining ways. He shouldn’t be findable. For all intents and purposes, he could disappear, and yet, here he was, being tracked by two wolves, cornered in his — Malia’s — den. 
Tagging more friendos because I live to cause chaos!

Questions for House MD fanfic authors, other House MD lore enthusiasts, and anyone familiar with Princeton, New Jersey geography:
Have you found or created any good references or headcanons for the locations that exist in the show, but not in real life?
If you live(d) in this part of New Jersey, do you have any opinions on where it would make sense to place things?
I ask because the House MD time travel / isekai author self-insert fanfic I'm writing is going to delve pretty deeply into the logistical, legal, and financial challenges of building a new life from literally nothing, 20 years in the past. Unlike @acrownforaking 's protagonist in "Intervention," my OC is not a teenage girl who can be passed off as House's long-lost daughter (which is for the best, given how much my middle-aged self-insert wants to fuck that age-appropriate man), and she is going to get off on the wrong foot with the characters who might have normally been the most able/inclined to help her.
So, getting around the Princeton area in 2004 as a broke semi-homeless person is a problem to be solved as part of the story, and thus I need to nail down the precise location of key settings in the Houseverse so I can figure out what they're within walking distance of, transit options, etc.
The Hospital
Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital doesn't exist IRL, and it's not simply a fictionalization of Princeton Hospital because that IRL hospital also exists in the Houseverse and is referenced a few times in the show.
I used to assume that the fictional PPTH was somewhere on the IRL Princeton Plainsboro Road, located here:
Tumblr media
But the wiki reminded me that in "After Hours," it says Prospect Street on Chase's GPS. The nearest Prospect Street is in the town of South Brunswick Township and appears to be a residential neighborhood from "driving" down it in Google Street View, but there's a Prospect Avenue in Princeton that terminates on Princeton's campus:
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the building in the aerial exterior shots of PPTH on the show is actually the Frist Campus Center of Princeton University IRL:
Tumblr media
And Frist Campus Center is located near the western end of Prospect Avenue, where it terminates at Washington Rd:
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, while the show never explicitly identifies which medical school their teaching hospital is affiliated with, I'm comfortable headcanoning that Princeton University has a medical school in the Houseverse (it doesn't have one IRL). We can deduce from "Three Stories" and the early season 4 episodes that the hospital and medical school must be adjacent or perhaps even share some buildings because the characters seem to go back and forth between the classrooms and the hospital without putting on their coats or getting in their cars.
So I'm thinking of headcanoning that Princeton University has a much larger campus in the Houseverse than in IRL, with the medical school buildings and hospital complex clustered around the corner of Washington Road & Prospect Avenue (which is Prospect Street in the Houseverse). I'll keep the exterior of the buildings pretty close to IRL, but what's inside them will be different.
However, there's a couple of problems with this location:
1) Why would a hospital in that location be named Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital? Where does the "Plainsboro" part come in if it's not in that town or on that road?
The IRL Princeton Hospital is on Plainsboro Road, but again, PPTH isn't just a fictionalized version of the IRL Princeton Hospital because the latter exists in the Houseverse and is occasionally referenced on the show. We can also infer from some of Cuddy's remarks about Princeton Hospital that it is a completely separate organization with different management, specialties, accepted health insurance plans, etc.
Tumblr media
And here is the location of the IRL Princeton Hospital in relation to Frist Campus Center (the building depicted at PPTH on the show):
Tumblr media
Unless someone has a better explanation or idea, I think I'm just going to headcanon that there is/was a second hospital in the same area as the IRL Princeton Hospital that is/was named Princeton Plainsboro Hospital and that the PPTH from the show was originally a satellite campus of that hospital but is now independent. The "Plainsboro" part of the name is simply a legacy from when it was a satellite campus, and Cuddy is too financially sensible to waste a ton of money on a rebranding campaign.
I live at the bottom of "Pill Hill" in Seattle (First Hill) and can attest that having a bunch of different hospitals all clustered together is definitely a thing that happens IRL despite how counter-intuitive it is to have multiple emergency rooms within a few blocks of each other instead of spread throughout the city.
2) Where should I put all the university departments and functions that are displaced by turning Frist Campus Center and the surrounding buildings into a hospital complex and medical school?
This problem is an easier solve, because what's this I spy in satellite view:
Tumblr media
Fuck that golf course.
So unless anyone has a better idea, I'm going to expand Princeton University's campus to the southwest, replacing the golf course that's there IRL. Maybe include a nice arboretum so that we still have some green space, but make it a park that anyone can use instead of a private golf club with a $6,000 (!!!) initiation fee.
House's Apartment:
Per his driver's license, House lives at 221B Baker Street (just like every other Sherlock).
His apartment (technically condo, since he owns it) is "a few miles" from the hospital per the episode "Whatever It Takes" and it's an 8-mile run via an unknown route (likely not a straight line) per the episode "Meaning."
His mother indicates that he specifically lives in the city of Princeton, not a neighboring city or suburb, because she's been following the Princeton police blotter ever since House moved there, per the episode "Love is Blind."
Unfortunately, neither of the local Baker Streets are even in Princeton:
Tumblr media
So it seems that I need to just pick an existing street in Princeton and rename it as Baker Street in the Houseverse.
Ideas for some Princeton streets that are an appropriate distance from the hospital where a building that looks like this and the street name "Baker" would fit in?
Tumblr media
I can't find anything about there being an IRL location that corresponds to the exterior of House's apartment building, so I suspect it's a fake building on a sound stage. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts & help!

Kin's Charlie Cox talks tough days on set and perfecting the Dublin accent
'There was a period of time when I was like, wow. I'm really kind of dreading going to work'
Tumblr media
WED, 31 AUG, 2022 - 07:35 MAEVE LEE (X)
Working on a show such as the gritty gangland series Kin brings a range of emotions with intense storylines and for Charlie Cox, there have been some days where it has been particularly tough to shoot scenes.
Cox, who is also known for his role as Matt Murdock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plays Michael Kinsella in the RTÉ series which follows a Dublin family embroiled in gangland war.
Some have criticised the show in the past for seeming to glamourise gangland violence, but when Cox read the script, he felt it highlighted how “gruesome and uncomfortable and painful” that life can be.
With his character, the actor says he wants to portray the sense that he is “so far beyond” the possibility of exiting a life of crime.
“You should feel when you watch him do the things he does, a sense of reluctance and grief and frustration and anger and fear,” he explains ahead of the release of series two.
With the show comes some difficult scenes and while filming episodes two and three last year, the 39-year-old admits there was a period of time when he was almost "dreading" going to work.
"There was a period of time when I was like, 'wow. I'm really kind of dreading going to work," he says.
“I loved the creative process, I was loving the storytelling and I believed in it so much but sitting in those feelings. When you do a funeral scene, you’re doing a funeral all day. You’re sitting in that grief all day.”
It can be a “very uncomfortable” emotion to be living in and often lingers after scenes finish, the actor says.
“My feeling with this show, particularly what happens at the beginning is that if anything, it shines a light on how devastating to a family and to a community that life can be.”
Clare Dunne (Kin), Dervla Kirwan (Smother) and Charlie Cox (Kin) pictured at the RTÉ New Season Launch in the RDS Dublin. Picture: Andres Poveda Photography
His involvement in the crime drama series came during lockdown when his wife and producer, Samantha Thomas, asked him to read the show while they were in the States.
“I said to my wife, is there a version that they would consider hiring me and we can keep the family together and we can all go to Dublin and make the show?
“I’d read it and I’d also just finished watching Normal People and was really moved by that and reminded of the kind of storytelling I wanted to be involved in.”
While first getting acquainted with the Irish ways, the British actor says the strangest thing he has noticed about Irish people is the ability to agree by simply breathing in.
“It’s that thing where people agree with you by breathing in. I’ve tried to put it in the show a couple of times. The first time, I was in a car with a guy, and I was chatting to him…I thought he was asthmatic,” he jokes.
“He kept doing [it]. I’ve tried to put it in the show but it keeps feeling really fake, so I haven’t quite got it down.”
As for nailing the Dublin accent, Cox was “terrified” about getting it wrong and spent hours listening to podcasts and even took inspiration from ex-soccer player Shane Supple.
“I listened to Shane in an interview and there was a texture in his voice that I felt was unexpected for Michael and I felt like it was close to what I wanted to try and do with him and his voice,” Cox says.
“Not to copy and repeat but he has a clarity — he’s very clear about what he wants to say but there was a complete lack of ego. The opposite of a Conor McGregor-type thing.
"That was the closest I found to something that would suit Michael.”

DS getting 75.21 and PCS over 8 🙃 their RoLi was fast, they were in sync on the twizzles if a little far apart by the end. but she's kind of ungainly in her dancing, there's a lack of extension and lack of expansiveness in her carriage (and his too, to a lesser extent). when great teams skate in hold, they make a beautiful, defined picture together. i don't know what you call it, but the way they move in hold has clarity. their posture matches. Diana and Gleb look noodly when they move in and out of hold - all these things should affect their PCS but it doesn't seem to
the new Swedish team Reitan/Majorov are really enjoyable- hard to believe this is only their 2nd competition together and their 2nd as ice dancers - they made their RD tech minimum, so they're half way to Worlds
Wolfkostin/Tsarevskiy - i like their FD a lot, but this program leaves my head the second it's over. they look solid, and i'm really happy for her that this partnership is working so well on the ice already, but Love is a Battlefield and Call Me have nothing to do with each other, and there's more character in the costumes than in the choreo. Tanith is here in Budapest with them. idk if we've seen Charlie traveling with a team yet. he was at Champs Camp but Greg and Tanith so far have been in the k&c with the MIDA teams i think? (i'm wrong he was at autumn classic, thank you- i even saw him🙃)
Lauriault/Le Gac - cool lift. they have the ability to nail their levels on the step sequences, and their nemesis is twizzles-- today, they got level 2's on their steps, which is kind of low for them, and 4+3 on twizzles. so kind of a solid day overall for their first outing? a red pantsuit for Devil Inside seems like it could work, but there's something about the placement of the cutouts and the material that isn't quite it? they're 3+ pts behind DS. looking forward to Corpse Bride

What's The Cause Of Clinical Hypnosis?
Tumblr media
Clinical hypnotherapy is becoming more sought-after by mental health professionals as a method for counseling and therapy. Hypnosis can assist patients in exploring difficult memories, thoughts, and feelings in a setting which is comfortable and safe.
What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy may also be known as an hypnotic experience, hypnotic suggestion or clinical hypnotherapy. It is a holistic form of mental health treatment. Psychotherapy professionals consider the practice of hypnotherapy as an acceptable alternative and complementary medicine (CAM) method.
Hypnotherapy is a therapy option that works for a variety of people. It has been particularly effective in counseling and trauma therapy. A trained and certified professional in hypnotherapy is needed to determine if a patient is suitable for hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and repetition to help the patient enter an euphoric state. With guided relaxation and a strong concentration, the patient attains an increased awareness and opens their mind to positive suggestions. Browse through noah aulwes web site if you need to have details resources regarding hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy: The advantages

If you are considering hypnotherapy for yourself only a qualified professional who is certified in hypnotherapy will decide if hypnotherapy is suitable for your situation.

Exploring Symptoms of Alopecia Areata |Understanding the Puzzle of Patchy Hair Loss | Coimbatore Hair Loss Treatment
Imagine waking up one day to discover a smooth, round bald spot on your head. It’s not just a bad hair day; it’s alopecia areata — a condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly is alopecia areata, and how does it unfold? Let’s look into the intricate web of symptoms, causes, and treatments that define this mysterious condition.
Decode the Symptoms
Alopecia areata can come out of nowhere, usually affecting hair follicles but sometimes involving nail beds too. At the outset, it shows up as round or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp, leaving behind bare spots without any signs of rash or redness. Some folks even feel tingling, burning, or itching sensations before the hair starts to fall out.
As the condition progresses, the story unfolds in different ways. Hair may regrow within months, offering hope amidst the barren patches, or new patches may emerge, expanding the canvas of hair loss. In rare cases, it evolves into more severe forms — alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis — where hair loss extends to the entire scalp and body.
Decoding the Symptoms
Beyond what you can see, there are more subtle clues, like itching, changes in colour, and unusual hairs — thicker at the top, narrowing like an exclamation mark — that give a clear picture of how the disease is moving forward. In the middle of all the not-knowing, there’s a pattern. Hair grows, then it falls out again, and it can feel like a ride with ups and downs — moments of hope and moments of feeling let down.
A Visual Journey Through Alopecia Areata
Looking at pictures helps you see what people with alopecia areata go through. Each picture — from when they first lose a patch of hair to when they lose a lot — shows how strong they are. The loss of eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair marks pivotal moments, showing just how deeply this condition can affect someone’s sense of self.
The Mystery Behind Alopecia Areata
What sets off this autoimmune reaction, causing the body to turn against its follicles? Alopecia areata is like solving a puzzle with many pieces. It involves your genes, environmental factors, and sometimes just chance. But it’s not just about what’s happening physically; it’s also about dealing with feelings and social challenges. It’s like walking through a maze where stress, worry, and feeling sad are all part of the journey.
Hope in Treatment and Management
Even though there’s a lot of uncertainty, there are rays of hope in different treatment avenues, ranging from corticosteroids to phototherapy. When regular treatments don’t work as well as we hope, getting creative with hairstyles can be a fantastic way to show off our unique style and beauty. It’s a reminder that even when we face challenges, we can still celebrate our individuality and look amazing doing it.
The Journey
Alopecia areata isn’t just a medical condition; it’s a journey filled with highs and lows, victories and challenges. It serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible resilience within each of us, the capacity to find beauty even amid chaos. To all those walking this path, remember: you’re not alone. Your story, your journey, is a testament to the strength of the human spirit — a masterpiece in its own right.
When it comes to managing alopecia areata, having a reliable ally can be a game-changer. That’s where Keva Hair Care steps in. With our deep knowledge of hair care and our commitment to tailor-made treatment strategies, we provide a ray of hope for individuals like me who are dealing with this condition.
For those ready to embark on a transformative journey to restore their crowning glory, Keva Hair Care awaits. With a promise of unparalleled excellence, it is the beacon of hope for many.

In Baltimore City, MD: - URGENT: Rescue needed by 4pm on 3/16 -
Joya- 13 years, unaltered female, 45lbs
13-year-old senior girl, Joya, was brought to BARCS by our partnering Animal Control after being found living in deplorable conditions without proper care. Poor girl was so confused and fearful when she first arrived in our care, and was shaking profusely while lying in her kennel, overwhelmed by the other barking dogs.
Immediately after being processed, Joya was moved into a quiet staff office to help her feel more comfortable. She was definitely still uncertain of everything, sniffing the entire room thoroughly, and cautious of new people, but we've fortunately learned that she can be quickly won over with tasty snacks and slow, gentle pets to the head. She startles easily and is not quite comfortable with a ton of handling, but has been very cooperative and tolerant still.
Upon examination, our vets noted that Joya has grade 2/4 periodontal disease, cataracts and decreased vision, a low grade heart murmur, multiple mammary gland tumors, overgrown nails, dermatitis with scabs and raw skin, and seems to also have some arthritis or degenerative joint disease. She has been started on a few meds to begin to make her more comfortable and a full medical summary can be provided upon request.
No senior should spend their days in the shelter, and Joya here is of course no exception. We would love to see this sweet, shy girl in a comfortable, loving home for once, where she can finally spend her golden years in peace.
Due to Joya's age, multiple medical conditions, and our shelter's lack of space, Joya needs rescue placement by close of business (4pm) on 3/16.
Please let us know if your organization can help!
Thank you,
The BARCS Rescue Team

The History of Thornhill, Ontario
Thornhill, Ontario, has a fascinating history. It was first settled by Indigenous peoples long ago, who lived off the land and rivers. Later, European settlers arrived and built farms and villages. One of the earliest settlers was Benjamin Thorne, whom the town is named after. Thornhill grew over time, becoming a bustling community with schools, churches, and businesses. In the 20th century, it became part of the greater Toronto area and continued to grow and develop. Today, Thornhill is a vibrant and diverse community with a mix of old buildings and new developments. Its rich history can be seen in its architecture and landmarks, reminding us of the people who came before us.
Promenade Shopping Centre
The Promenade Shopping Centre is a super cool place in Thornhill, Ontario. It's a big shopping mall with lots of stores and restaurants to explore. You can find everything from clothes and shoes to toys and electronics. When you get hungry, there are yummy food options like pizza, burgers, and even sushi.

Man, 27, Charged After Threatening Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators With Nail Gun in Thornhill
Arrests can really be made for people who try to harm protesters. In many places, it's against the law to hurt or threaten others, even if they're protesting. The police are there to keep everyone safe and protect people's rights to express their opinions peacefully. If someone tries to harm protesters, they can be arrested and charged with a crime. It's important for everyone to respect each other's right to protest and express their beliefs without fear of violence. By following the rules and treating each other with kindness and respect, we can work hand in hand to create a safer and more peaceful community for everyone.
