Some thoughts about MW3 and then I'm logging off for a few days I think. Honestly the amount of brutality in this game touched a raw nerve considering recent events and I need a reset
The game was rushed. There's no denying that. It is extremely clear which levels were carefully designed and which ones were just recycles of gameplay in warzone.
I found the 'weapons free' levels to be extremely disappointing. What I loved previously about MW2019 and M2022 was the very meticulous paced gameplay that was realistic and believable. Instead we had Soap on his own gallivanting around an armed island fortress with zero stealth and zero planning. Alone stealth mission who? It was clearly just code from warzone and I really really disliked it
The plot was disjointed and hard to keep track of. Makarov is here, now he's there. Here's Yuri for a split second, bye! Plane crash, and for what? There was a distinct lack of cohesiveness that came with the previous two games
Part of this lack of cohesiveness is that we play as everyone except Alex and Ghost. That's a total of 6 or so roles, when the previous campaigns had 3 max (Alex, Farah, Gaz for MW2019, and Gaz/Soap for MW2022) This is particularly disappointing because I felt the limited number of roles was a major advantage over the originals, which also felt disjointed at times with the sudden transitions of POVs
Most of this gameplay was Price, which I heavily disliked. I appreciate Price best in his role as a supervisor, as overwatch guiding the younger sergeants through missions. It suits his character, as opposed to him getting shot at and barking about his need for cover. it erases a lot of his character to find himself in a vulnerable position like that. We should have focused this campaign to Soap, Gaz, Farah, and maybe Laswell
A lot of the missions could have been shortened to cutscenes, which would have made them more comprehensive and would have allowed for better flow of the storyline. Instead we have Farah and Price...wirelessly hacking things? if we're going for realism that's just not it.
The game relies too heavily on Warzone cutscenes, which I felt the other two games did less of, which was a good strength as it attracted a different and more diverse audience
I hated the Graves Shepherd subplot. I'm glad Shepherd got his comeuppance, but other than that I hate that Farah just 'Oh he attacked my allies? Oh well.' Because frankly I feel like it goes against her character. Feel free to disagree with me on that, but I really just didn't like that aspect of the game
The amount of civilian brutality was really hard to stomach. I understand its just poor timing on the game's part due to recent events, but even the airplane level and comments made by Makarov's men just...had me walk away from the playthrough for a bit because it disgusted me so much. I get that such scenes were needed to drive home Makarov's villainy, and maybe it's just current events, but it really did feel like overkill
We barely got to see the team, I feel like. One thing I loved about the previous two games were the small asides of banter and interaction we got. We got absolutely none of that in this game, and it speaks to the rushed quality and really subpar production. The banter and interaction in the 'Alone' mission in MW2 was what made it popular. In this game, Soap and Ghost barely say five words to each other. I really miss the team dynamics we saw
No Roach. Enough said.
Finally- Soap's death. This may be an unpopular opinion. It was completely meaningless. Makarov got away. He didn't get any last words. Even in the originals Soap was able to say something to Price. It was pure shock value, plain and simple. It added nothing to the plot that hadn't already been done, and I fully believe the devs shot themselves in the fucking face by taking away arguably the most beloved character in the fandom. That was the final straw for me.
I was considering maybe purchasing the games, but at this point I'm not even going to rewatch this campaign, let alone play it. In fact, I won't be watching future games either. I'm fully done. I'll be writing according to the MW2019 and MW2022 timelines, but this game does not exist to me. I'm disappointed and upset by the quality of this compared to the previous two games, and the way they tried to make up for it with pure shock value.
That is all. Goodnight.

SRMTHFG Watch Guide
Hi everyone! I made a list for newcomers who are interested in watching SRMT but don't know where to start! : ]
Tumblr media
'Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!' (Yes, that's really the title, 'SRMTHFG' for short) was a cartoon that aired from 2004-2006 on Jetix/Disney Channel.
It's about a boy and his team of cybernetic monkeys saving the universe from the evil Skeleton King. It sounds ridiculous... but it is so unironically good. There is plot. There is trauma. There are wacky antics. You can watch the entire series on YouTube, in HD, for free lol.
There's two versions of the show:
1080p HD, widescreen, censored (YouTube Link)
480-720p, cropped, uncensored (YouTube Link)
Personally I would recommend the HD cut. I am working on compiling every censored scene, nearly all of which are under 3 seconds (graphic violence, blood, etc.).
Under the read more is a guide to what episodes to watch, avoid, etc.

Team Fortress 2 Kinktober Time Two: Electric Boogaloo
Day 21: Improvise, Adapt, Overcome (Frottage)
Tumblr media
🔞MINORS DNI🔞
Pairings: Heavy x Male!Reader
Summary: Sometimes a difference in size requires one to get creative.

The Masterlist
“You would not be able to handle it.”
You stood perfectly still, taken aback by Heavy’s response. You had prepared yourself for a whole myriad of reactions when you finally worked up the courage to invite him back to your room. However, the blunt statement that you ‘couldn’t handle him,’ was not one of them. It was just so deadpan, so matter-of-fact, and he said it with such confidence that you almost wondered if he had said this to other potential lovers in the past. Technically, it wasn’t an outright rejection, and the implications of what he had said only intrigued you more.
“If you don’t want this you can just come out and say it. You don’t have to try to scare me off with some cryptic warning,” you said, finally regaining some composure and trying your best not to sound too wounded.
���Нет, I am being honest.” He gave a nervous chuckle, a noise that sounded entirely foreign coming from the confident and clamorous man you imagined him to be based on what you had seen on the battlefield. “I want this,” he motioned towards you. “But you would break.”
“What, do you have a bit of a sadistic side?” you asked. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise you, let alone deter you. However, the large man shook his head, immediately dashing the multitude of fantasies birthed from that possibility.
Heavy laughed again, as if it was his default reaction to nervousness. “It is simpler than that.” He looked you over with a sigh. “You are very small.”
“So? Everything is small to you, you’re fucking massive-” You stopped in your tracks, eyes going wide. What he was trying to imply finally dawned on you. Whether it was embarrassment, a language barrier, or even just an attempt to be delicate that kept Heavy from outright saying that he thought his dick was too large for you, you didn’t know.
When you finally worked up the nerve to look him in the eyes, he simply gave a solemn nod, confirming that you had indeed connected the dots accurately. Still, a little voice in the back of your head reminded you that you still hadn’t been rejected. In fact, you were emboldened by the fact that Heavy had outright admitted that he did want you. So, with a smirk, you continued, albeit a bit more cautiously.
“I’m not a weak willed man, Heavy.” Your words earned yet another laugh, and you knew the heat in your cheeks was turning your skin a bright shade of red. “I mean it! I want to try, and I think you do too.”
Heavy took a deep breath, his face going serious. For a moment, you thought you were finally going to be dismissed, but what you got proved to be the exact opposite. “You will say if it hurts.” His tone made it clear that this wasn’t a request, but a necessity. You nodded, taking a few steps closer to him. “You will say if you need to stop.” He was guiding you to the bed now, an arm wrapped around your back. It seemed you would be staying in his quarters, his bed being larger and more comfortable. “You understand?”
You were giddy with anticipation, but that didn’t mean you hadn’t clung into every word. You were in the bed now, looking up at him from where you were seated on the mattress. “I understand, Heavy,” you said. It was only then that he joined you, climbing onto the bed next to you and pulling you into his lap with ease. Your heart raced and it took you a few moments to do the obvious, leaning forward to close the distance between the two of you. That first kiss was quick, almost chaste as you parted moments later with a sigh and a sultry whisper. “I want you.”
One hand came up to cradle the back of your head as you pressed your lips against him again, trying to trail down further along his jaw and neck. Heavy seemed to have other plans however, taking your chin and tilting you back up to his mouth, encouraging you to slow down, to savor this. Going slow would become not only a luxury, but a necessity if he really was as large as he claimed. That said, you still couldn’t resist the urge to squirm in his lap to take the edge off, which eventually turned into outright grinding against each other while still clothed. You moaned, letting Heavy deepen the kiss as he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth.
Your confidence began to waver when Heavy suddenly bucked up against you. His cock was straining against the fabric of his pants, and even while still in its confines you could tell that you may have underestimated the challenge you had undertaken. You tried to take solace in the slow pace, in the way Heavy worked his lips against yours, letting yourself believe that your nerves were simply getting the better of you, but a nagging little voice told you that you had to be sure.
You pulled away with a gasp, not realizing how long you had gone without parting for air. You ran your hands down his chest, feeling it rise and fall beneath your palms before you were tugging at his belt, unfastening it with far less finesse than you were going for. Every movement felt clumsy and awkward, making your face burn as you tossed the belt aside, unbuttoned his trousers and finally freed his cock.
Oh fuck.
You had promised yourself that you wouldn’t stare, that you would maintain some semblance of dignity at the very least. Still, you couldn’t help but be captivated by the sight. “Oh, wow. That’s…” you trailed off, floundering with your words until Heavy mercifully finished your sentence for you.
“Large?” he said. You managed to tear your gaze away to look up at him, being met with a smug expression that could only be translated as ‘I told you so.’ The worst part was, he was right.
You knew Heavy would be big. Even if he hadn’t warned you, the man was essentially a giant, especially compared to you, so you could have inferred as much. Yet the reality of seeing him hard and flushed for you was beyond anything you had imagined. Shaking your head, you pushed your concerns aside, at least for now. After all, there were other ways to pleasure someone.
“I was going to say impressive!” You lied through your teeth, reaching forward to grasp Heavy’s cock. Once again your confidence wavered as you noticed that your hand could barely wrap around him. Still, you continued, stroking Heavy firmly, listening to the soft groan he tried to choke back. “Very impressive,” you whispered again, mostly to yourself.
After eliciting a few more groans your confidence began to renew itself. You let yourself go faster, and even get a bit rough at times. Then again, for Heavy, what you considered rough probably wasn’t much more bothersome than a fly. On the other hand, you got plenty of time to get up close and personal with what you would be dealing with later, and it quickly became apparent that he wasn’t yet completely hard when you first unfastened his belt.
“You are shaking,” Heavy said, distracting you from your musings. There was a hint of concern in his voice. At first you were confused, but a quick glance at your hand showed it to be true. You hadn’t even noticed until Heavy pointed it out, but your hands were trembling and a perpetual shiver had overtaken your body, leaving goosebumps over your skin and a nervous chill running up your spine.
“It’s probably just anticipation,” you said, only to find that even your voice was beginning to shake. It wasn’t entirely a lie, there was definitely some anticipation in what you were feeling, but anxiety was certainly the more dominant emotion. You stroked him faster, quickly distracting Heavy from any further concerns he may have had. The low groan and the way his length throbbed under your touch was quite rewarding, and you managed to regain some confidence. “That feels good, doesn’t it? I’m good with more than just my hands.”
You were quick to demonstrate just that, leaning down to take Heavy into your mouth as deep as you could, stopping just short of gagging. Using your hands to stroke whatever you couldn’t take in, you set to work, bobbing your head while Heavy moaned and gripped the sheets hard, relishing the feeling of your hot mouth on his cock. He was exercising a remarkable amount of self control, not daring to buck up into your throat. You were especially thankful for that. While you may have been able to eventually work Heavy past your gag reflex with enough time and patience, you knew that if he were to outright facefuck you, it would probably be a far less pleasant experience.
You probably wouldn't be able to get Heavy to treat you that roughly even if you asked though. He had been shockingly gentle with you throughout this. Considering he had tried to scare you away at first, you would have expected something a bit more intense. Perhaps you wouldn’t have minded that, as you realized that Heavy could probably manhandle you with ease if he wanted to.
The very thought made you moan around him, feeling yourself grow achingly hard at the thought of that even as you tried to focus on your current task. You licked up the shaft, teasing the larger man before plunging him into your mouth once again, not letting the taste of precum on your tongue bother you one bit. You were so focused that you may have just sucked Heavy to completion then and there if he hadn’t taken you by the hair, gently tugging until you had been pulled off of his cock with a soft whine.
“Your turn,” Heavy said, moving to undress you. His fingers tugging at the waistband of your pants. He was still so gentle, as if worried that the smallest wrong move would hurt you. When he finally managed to unfasten the buttons and zipper, you knew you had to admit defeat.
“Heavy, I…” you stammered. Heavy immediately stopped, looking up at you, waiting patiently for you to continue. You gave him an apologetic look. “I don’t know if I can take it.”
You knew your skin was flushed. You could feel the heat in your cheeks and you avoided looking him in the eye, embarrassed at how in over your head you were. You opened your mouth to apologize when you felt Heavy’s hand on your cheek, caressing softly as he turned your gaze back to him.
“There are other ways,” Heavy said. “If you still want this.”
“I do,” you said, leaning into his touch.
“Come, sit here.” You were pulled into Heavy’s lap again, one arm hooked around your back. Before you could ask what the plan was you were cut off with a gasp, feeling Heavy take hold of your cock and begin to stroke. His hands were so large, practically engulfing you. You cursed softly, instinctively trying to thrust up into his fist only to be held still. “Нет, do not move yet. Let Heavy take care of you.”
You tilted your head, a little confused. Then again, you certainly weren’t opposed to the idea of being taken care of. So you let yourself be pampered, resting your head on Heavy’s chest as he began to pump your cock faster. You moaned, grasping his shirt in your fists, bracing yourself against him. For now, he was your rock to cling to.
“Heavy! Oh god, Mikhail!” You felt him shudder slightly at the use of his real name, and for a moment you were worried you had crossed a line. However, a quick glance up at his face proved otherwise. For the first time, you had managed to make Heavy blush. Still, he met your gaze with a calm smile.
“You make pretty sounds.” It was a simple statement, one that made your heart skip a beat. You hadn’t even realized how shameless you had become with your moans. Either you had stopped caring the moment Heavy started touching you or you had lost the ability to even try to stifle yourself. Whatever the reason for your lack of volume control, you could at least take pride in the fact that Heavy enjoyed your reactions. Still, you couldn’t help but feel that you were being far too passive.
“Wait, it’s not fair that you- fuck!” You stammered between moans, trying futilely to string your words together coherently. You placed your hand on Heavy’s, making him pause and allowing you to finally speak. “I want you to feel good too.”
Heavy opened his mouth as if to speak, and if he was about to protest, you didn’t give him the chance to, catching him off guard with a heated kiss. You managed to take control for a time, feeling him release your cock. You nearly melted at the feeling of his arms wrapping around your waist, holding you firmly against him, but you couldn’t let yourself lose focus yet.
You could feel him against you, the need he was denying. He was still slick with spit from earlier. With a soft sigh, you began to move your hips against him like before, feeling your own cock press against his as you bucked forward, sliding against his length.
Heavy gasped and you leaned back, clutching onto his shoulders for some sort of leverage as your hips canted, grinding against him and relishing the moments when you were able to get some soft noise of pleasure from the surprisingly reserved man. Given how he was in battle, you would have expected Heavy to be louder, but so far he had managed to truly defy all your expectations.
He let you buck against him for a while before pushing back, and for a moment you were afraid you had done something wrong. Those thoughts were quickly put to bed when he proceeded to wrap his massive hand around both your cock and his own. A harsh gasp escaped you as Heavy pumped the two of you in unison, his breaths growing ragged and uneven. It was even more evident when he spoke, his voice low and gravelly. “Feels good, да?”
After a few moments of trying and failing to respond with any coherent words, you gave up and simply nodded with a dazed moan. You barely saw the satisfied smile Heavy gave you, enjoying the sight of you shuddering in delight, resisting the urge to buck into his fist. It was clear that you had completely forgotten about the slight hiccup in your original plans. So what if you couldn’t take him? This unique sensation was even better than what you had originally hoped for, so new and deliciously pleasurable for the both of you.
You threw your head back when Heavy picked up the pace, letting out breathy, pant-like moans as precum began to bead at the tip of your cock. “Whole base will hear you,” Heavy warned, although by the way his breath hitched, you had a feeling he didn’t really care. You didn’t care either. You were far too close to give a shit about who heard you screaming in ecstasy. It felt like you could come undone at any moment, muscles spasming and trembling as you frantically chased that high until the sensation of Heavy’s thumb running over the sensitive head of your cock finally brought you over the edge.
Heavy stroked you in long, languid motions as you rode out your climax, letting your release spill over his knuckles, slickening his touch. You were bucking against him now, having fully lost the will to keep from moving, and the feeling of you thrusting against him coupled with the ministrations of his own hand was what made him come undone not long after you. He was surprisingly reserved, his climax signaled with only a low moan, his hand going still only after you began to whimper from overstimulation.
Almost immediately you collapsed, landing on the plush pillows with a thud and a groan. You were spent, and you couldn’t even bring yourself to be embarrassed about it, the afterglow leaving you in an unwavering state of euphoria. Your eyes shut and you were immobile, boneless in a way that would usually leave you feeling vulnerable, but you knew there was nothing to fear. You weren’t sure how long the silence had stretched for when you finally spoke.
“Fuck, that was really good,” you muttered, not even caring about how cliché it sounded. You didn’t get a response, and you opened your eyes to find that Heavy had left the bed, cleaning himself up and retrieving one of the water bottles that were distributed among the mercs. When he was back at your side he lifted you upright, pressing the cool bottle into your still shaky hands.
You barely managed to get the cap off as Heavy gently encouraged you to drink. You smiled to yourself, enjoying the feeling of being cared for. “Thank you, Misha,” you said after taking a long drink from the bottle, nearly downing half of it once you realized how thirsty you were. He made a soft sound of acknowledgement as he began to clean you up to the best of his ability, letting you relax comfortably once you placed the bottle on the nightstand and collapsed back onto the bed.
It didn’t occur to you in the moment that with you splayed out on the mattress, Heavy couldn’t exactly fit next to you. However that problem was solved with little effort when he simply maneuvered your aching body for himself, making you gasp as you were essentially placed on top of him, draped over his immense body.
“Is this comfortable for you?” you asked, raising your head as much as your energy sapped body would allow you to. “I mean, I’m literally about to fall asleep on top of you.”
“This is fine,” he said with a smirk, seeming to find the very idea that you could make him uncomfortable to be humorous. “You are like a…” he thought for a while, searching for the right term, before his eyes lit up. “Weighted blanket! Very comfortable.” He draped an arm over your back, keeping you securely pressed against him as if to emphasize his point.
You chuckled softly, finding yourself at peace with that explanation and letting yourself relax, feeling the gentle rise and fall of Heavy’s breathing under your head. If you listened closely enough you could probably make out the steady beat of the ubercharge heart, a staccato rhythm that lulled you to sleep within moments.

A Brief Honor Mode Reflection 🎆
Hello!! Now that I've beaten BG3's HM (on Patch 6, Hotfix 19), I am here to share my builds (and a mini retrospective). 🥳👋
My team relied on stealth, a few instances of barrelmancy, and some amoral choices... 😔 But we did not use any illithid powers!
I did not have a main party and instead swapped characters out depending on the situation. I did my best to remember how combat encounters played out, and prepared accordingly! If I was really worried about an encounter, I tried to follow these awesome guide videos from YouTuber neek. 😁
(Possible spoilers ahead!)
Party Builds
Tumblr media
The party that I brought to the final battle against the Netherbrain! A lot of white hair, lol.
Unfortunately, I don't remember my party's exact stats and I can't go into an old save to find them (haha) so I'll do my best to remember their key traits/items here.
All of my party members took the Alert Feat at Level 8! I consider this feat key, if not necessary, to winning Honor Mode.
Tav (Asa): 12 Monk, Way of the Open Hand (Drow)
20 STR / 14 DEX / 23 CON / 8 INT / 16 WIS / 10 CHA
Tavern Brawler Feat
Helldusk Armor
Gloves of Soul Catching
Amulet of Greater Health
Haste Helm
Boots of Uninhibited Kushigo
I got Asa to 20 STR by starting her off with 17 STR, using her Level 4 feat to take Tavern Brawler (+1), then pressuring Astarion for Araj Oblodra's potion (+2). (😭)
A Way of the Open Hand Monk is a superb DPR hitter that can also apply handy conditions to bosses, such as Stunned or Prone. It's a popular class with powergamers, and for good reason!! Personally, I really like it because I can pretend to be a wuxia heroine, haha.
Gale: 12 Wizard, Abjuration School
I don't remember his exact stats unfortunately, but I prioritized INT (20), DEX, and CON.
Robe of the Weave
Markoheshkir
Viconia's Walking Fortress
Gloves of Belligerent Skies
Boots of Stormy Clamor
Psychic Spark
Abjuration Wizard can hugely increase your chances at survival with Arcane Ward. My party was basically invincible by the time we reached Level 10, thanks to Gale's Arcane Ward and Shadowheart's Warding Flare!
I had Gale carry the Spellsparkler staff for basically all of Acts 1 and 2. I'm a huge fan, especially when combo-ing it with Magic Missile. 😁
Astarion (Vampire Ascendant): 4 Rogue (Thief) / 6 Ranger (Gloom Stalker) / 2 Fighter
See my build guide for Ascended Astarion! I followed that, but took his last two levels in Fighter rather than sticking with Ranger. Fighter's Action Surge came in handy a few times.
I forewent the Alert Feat on Astarion in favor of an ASI (+2 to DEX). His Initiative was already very high due to Gloom Stalker Ranger's Dread Ambusher.
Alongside my Tav (Asa), Astarion was easily doing the most DPR.
Shadowheart: 12 Cleric, Light Domain
I have a proper build guide in the works 😁 but I highly recommend prioritizing WIS, CON, and DEX if you can!
Amulet of the Devout
Luminous Armor
Luminous Gloves
Boots of Striding
Selûne's Spear of Night
Ketheric's Shield
Callous Glow Ring
Coruscation Ring
This build does highly rely on Radiant Damage, and there are a few enemies who punish you for using Radiant Damage (ie. the Undead Justiciars, Raphael, Viconia) - so be careful about where you're using her and how!
In most cases (especially with Invisible enemies), I had Shadowheart start by dropping a Radiance of the Dawn among clustered enemies. Thanks to her gear, this delivered a mass output of Radiant Damage and Radiating Orbs.
EDIT: Guide completed and posted on March 2, 2024!
Wyll: 12 Warlock, The Fiend, Pact of the Blade
See my build guide for Fiend Bladelock Wyll!
Unfortunately, the gear in the above guide ended up overlapping with other characters :') So instead of being a frontliner in this run, he was largely Eldritch Blasting and acting as the Party Face. As such, I had him in the following:
Potent Robe
Hat of the Sharp Caster
Daredevil Gloves
Envoy's Amulet
Band of the Mystic Scoundrel
Ring of Arcane Synergy
Lae'zel: 12 Paladin, Oath of Vengeance
Lae'zel was sadly kidnapped and killed by Orin. 😞 So her build isn't as complete, but I had her in the following for most of Acts 1 and 2:
Adamantine Splint Armor
Sussur Greatsword ➡️ Soulbreaker Greatsword
Crusher's Ring
Gloves of the Growling Underdog
Like my Tav (Asa) and Astarion, I would bring in Lae'zel when I needed an extra heavy DPR hitter! Paladins are a very powerful class if you don't mind Long Resting often, especially in the early game before you get Extra Attack on martials at Level 5.
Retrospective
To be honest, I'd already beaten the game five times (oops! 🥲) before completing my Honor Run. 😆 So I had a huge leg up just by virtue of remembering which encounters were where, and what was the best way to beat them! IMO, Foreknowledge, Initiative, and Stealth/Surprise are king in Honor Mode.
I also followed some tips that I normally find overly tedious:
Donate gold to traders to get better prices when buying + more gold when selling.
Meticulously collect camp supplies and barrels, especially smokepowder barrels.
Stock up on Invisibility Potions in case you need to Flee a combat.
Stock up on Strength Potions (Hill Giant, Cloud Giant) for your Strength-based builds, so you can prioritize other Ability Scores - particularly in the early game.
Always try to initiate combat with Surprise if you can.
Make good use of Shadowheart's buff spells!! I don't know why I never used Enhance Ability and Calm Emotions before this, haha!
Get two Hirelings through Withers: one Transmutation Wizard and one Cleric. The wizard was our camp alchemist, and the cleric was our camp buffer (Heroes' Feast, Freedom of Movement, upcasted Aid).
I even cut a deal with Philomeen for her Runepowder Vial then entered turn-based mode to kill her before she could flee the scene, thus securing the Runepowder Barrel as well. 😭
Sadly, I very much set aside my moral code for this run. :') Astarion got the extremely, extremely short end of the stick 😞 - and unfortunately, so did Wyll. 😭 I broke his pact with Mizora, but instead of rescuing his father and properly closing out Wyll's companion quest, I skipped the Iron Throne and Wyrmway quests... (I did not like my chances against the Steelwatch and Ansur...)
So, after fully building my party, we ended up briefly allying with Gortash (IYKYK haha) and heading straight for the Brain. Orpheus was our team's Mind Flayer.
The items I brought with me to the final Brain fight include:
4 Elixirs of Psychic Resistance
8 Potions of Flying (though I only ended up using 4)
10 Potions of Invisibility (though I only ended up using 5)
5 scrolls of Globe of Invulnerability (I only used 1, LOL)
10 Potions of Speed (I only used 2)
8 scrolls of Disintegrate ⭐
I will let you figure out what I did with those. 😁 (Unless you'd like to see my full strat, in which case I may post that later!)
Hope this helped anyone who's planning to attempt Honor Mode!! YOU'VE GOT THIS! 👏 Panic is the mindkiller in this version of the game, so just keep a level head, check your inventory before ending your turn, and read the BG3 Wiki (especially when facing bosses), haha - and you'll be a-okay 🥳🎆 !
Best of luck! 🍀✨

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT
PRE-PRELIMINARIES #31
Tumblr media
Submission 309
Performative anger at any mention of Homestuck is obnoxious.
Yes. Discovering that something similar happened in a story is not valid grounds to start screeching. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HOMESTUCK," you shriek? It's a webcomic. It's free. Either read it and find out or move on. Also, it's not like weird or absurd shit doesn't happen in other things. Team Fortress 2 is about two stupid and virtually immortal brothers trying to steal each other's completely worthless land. Abraham Lincoln was hired by one of them as a mercenary. Warframe has a precognitive tower made of meat. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series reveals that the galaxy is secretly ruled by a man with no concept of object permanence that lives in a cabin with a cat.
this feels like a shot because i also didn't believe homestuck was real for the longest time
Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!
Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure! (exposure like when your exposed to the fact that the KISS Scooby Doo crossover does actually exist, scarring you for life)

another set of Aventuri mecha! populating this planet slowly but surely
Trionic is utterly unremarkable at first glance. he has no inclusions, scoured from forging. he has no outlier ability, and is in fact completely dull, being susceptible to heat and cold and weakness like very few Aventuri are. for anyone else, this would earn pity or scorn. for Trionic, it earns respect. he is one of the oldest citizens of Divinex, a member of Exosphere's original crew and a survivor of the crash. nowadays he's considered wise, gracious, and a voice of reason among some of the more complicated dynamics of the Divinexi High Court, despite not holding a seat himself. in reality, he was a simple cabin bot before the crash and scrambled to fake it til he makes it as a mentor to a newborn civilization. without anyone older and wiser around, he resorted to trying to imitate what he remembered of Alpha Trion. clearly something paid off, for he's been a good--if secretly frazzled--influence on Divinexi society for generations
Alpenglow has been trying to ignore her discontent with her peers among Valian high society for decades now. it started with a raid, scores of alien ships targeting eastern Nova Spectra. all her life, Alpenglow had been taught Valian ideals of protection, duty, and glory in war. she expected her city-state to act in defense of their neighbors, for the raid was well within reach of Valian's militia, and yet the Prefecture did nothing. as a travel guide and manager of border routes, she saw firsthand what the Spectral refugees suffered as they fled to Valian territory, and as a noblemech she saw firsthand the pity and apathy of her peers. her powerful pyrokinetic ability and important role keeping the airways clear as a flightframe means her social status is all but guaranteed, and her polite but distant attitude combined with her pretty colors and colorchanging alexandrite inclusions makes her alluringly mysterious. and yet, her discontent grows, slowly but surely...
Longlight is a right tough old chap. he's sturdy, clever, quick on his feet, and has a mean right hook. he's also a perfect gentlemech, charming and upright, with many stories of his escapades in the wilds of the Crucible Crests in eastern Valius. right now he's a member of the militia of Fortress Vitus. he has a more relaxed attitude towards the concept of chain of command than the local guard would like, but no one can deny that when he goes haring off after a criminal or a threat, he certainly gets the job done. he is most effective when working with his partner Scopeseeker. the two of them make a deadly sniper team, with Longlight using his blindingly bright outlier power of blazing biolights to pinpoint targets for her with laser precision, or light up the eternal night with more lumens than the sun. even his clear gypsum inclusions refract light in sheets, and everybody can see his roadster alt mode driving down the street from miles away
Scopeseeker is the moon to Longlight's sun. she's quiet, focused, and deliberate, easily fading into the background while he steals attention. she's durable but has no other outlier ability, even though the terrifying precision of her shooting is sometimes considered a power. she used to be a tracker before the militia recruited her, and the isolation of the icy wilds has always suited her better. Longlight is really the only other person in Fortress Vitus she gets along with, despite their differences. her subtle, solid brown diamond inclusions suit her subtle, solid personality quite well. in root mode, she makes a fantastic sniper, especially with her partner's help, but in tankette mode she's nearly unstoppable. it isn't often she has to put her skills to use, but the Valian militia are always reminded of her value when she does

Since going to the Nameless City, which apparently is at the center of the map we're going to be fighting in, is out of the question, we can try to help by finding either Alter Ego or data for the seventh servant.
Can Mooncancer show us a map so we can start deciding which place to scout after the checkup?
Tumblr media
"We can discuss that later. I don't want to overwhelm you with information. Foreigner, Pretender, let's get some rest and regather for proper planning. I'll see if I can help Avenger."
MOONCANCER replied, before taking AVENGER by the hand and gently leading him out of the room. He found himself being pulled along, not putting up much resistance, and the other two Servants didn't seem to have an issue with that command.
Tumblr media
They stepped away as MOONCANCER led you both down a quaint, yet fortified hallway. It seemed to be well-protected, but not at the expense of making it seem like a prison or a war-torn fortress.
"The Azure Citadel is one of the two major strongholds during this Grail War. The Red Team has their own base of operations, and the Nameless City serves as an intermittent point between them, surrounded by other zones and territories. We can get into that later, however."
She happily explained, before eventually, leading AVENGER to a room.
Tumblr media
The room was dark and dour, a lone piano resting within it. She looked around, before glancing back over her shoulder to AVENGER.
Tumblr media
"Our chambers are partially influenced by our desires. It seems as if this is the one your heart calls out for. How interesting."
She mused, guiding AVENGER down to the one cushioned seat in the room, next to a window where light seeped in.
Tumblr media
"Close your eyes, please. Take a deep breath, and exhale."
There was a moment of hesitation, but no real reason not to comply.
Even without looking, AVENGER could tell she was close, the sound of her breathing, the way her mana stayed at a controlled rhythm, and then eventually the way the palm of her hand rested on the forehead of his armor.
Tumblr media
"Now, if you would relax."

all of these pussy destroying tf2 fanart ur rbing is tempting us to join this fandom... should i?
um um ^_^ a lot of the art i rb'd last night was from a fan made film using TF2 characters called Emesis Blue!
if you guys wanna get into team fortress two, then PLEASE JOIN! But if it's just Emesis Blue, here's your guide:
First and foremost, watch their trailer first. I would recommend watching all of this at night, in the dark, just to scare the shit out of yourself.
https://youtu.be/Qzqa527mVx8
Not the best, but it gives you information on what ends up being really important in the film? Its not analog horror, only this trailer is, so don't worry about that.
Onto the movie.
https://youtu.be/V0ODG8bFme0
Great stuff. No further comment.
I'm going to immediately follow it up with the review I watched, because it explains a LOT OF SHIT that even I didn't catch because a lot of it has to do with media as old as my PARENTS, if not older, since it almost seems like it's trying to be historically accurate sometimes with how it lines shit up:
https://youtu.be/DDlstyGd9kg
That should help you get into it if you wanted to try it out my brother . Godspeed

Prelim Updates & Character List!
First, competing as a team won for all four prelim polls! Everybody's in, together! (For some reason I had a feeling the Naruto poll was a wild question, and with my practically non-existent knowledge figured Kakashi would win, but glad it's funnier this way lol)
Second, I have still neglected to organize the Portal prelims. Whoops. I'll probably figure that out today and post that tomorrow evening (5/1). Relatedly, I also realized I missed one more non-Portal prelim poll, so that'll go up at the same time (it's for Percy Jackson).

Round 1: Match 29
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From the Team Fortress 2 Official Wiki,
Sir Thomas John Woodward, better known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer, known for his many hit singles including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", and "She's a Lady". In the events of Ring of Fired, his first true appearance, Merasmus moved in with Tom Jones following his eviction from Castle Merasmus. After breaking into the pair's home whilst guiding a tour of celebrity houses, the Soldier snaps Tom Jones' neck, leaving Merasmus to take the rap for his death.
From the Official Dota 2 website,
Pitched into Dark Reef for crimes unknown, Slark spent half a lifetime without kin or kindness, trusting no one, surviving through a combination of stealth and ruthlessness, keeping his thoughts and his plans to himself. When the infamous Dark Reef Dozen plotted their ill-fated breakout, they kept their plans a perfect secret, murdering anyone who could have put the pieces together--but somehow Slark discovered their scheme and made a place for himself in it. Ten of the Dozen died in the escape attempt, and two were captured, hauled back to Dark Reef, then executed for the entertainment of their fellow inmates. But Slark, the unsung thirteenth, used the commotion as cover and slipped away, never to be caught.

The Masterlist
“Would you care to come back to bed with me, darlin’?”
The question caught you off guard, and you nearly hit your head as you rushed to get up from your spot beneath the sentry you and Engineer had been working on. The two of you had talked and worked late into the night, with the topics of conversation gradually growing more personal. More intimate. And now, you had been invited to bed by the mercenary you had been subtly lusting after since you joined the team.
You couldn’t deny it. Engie was attractive, but you never imagined you would actually get this chance. Apparently, you had stared in shock for too long, cause he began to stammer, nervously fiddling with his hands, the mechanical joints of the Gunslinger whirring softly beneath his glove.
“I mean, you don’t have to, of course. I was just wonderin’ cause honestly, I wouldn’t mind spendin’ a night with you. You're definitely real pretty, but it’s completely up to you, I ain’t trying to force ya-“
“I would love to.” You cut off his rambling before it could get too out of hand. Engie immediately stopped, actually looking a bit startled.
“You would?” He asked.
“Absolutely.” You dropped the wrench you held into the toolbox before pacing up to Engie and pressing a kiss to his lips before he could ask any more questions. His arms wrapped around your waist almost instinctively, pulling your body against his. When the kiss finally broke off, he looked a bit dazed. It seemed that neither of you could really believe this was happening.
“Well, alright then,” he finally said, taking you by the hand and leading you back to his room in the base. When you arrived, you found that it was just what you had expected. Half-finished blueprints and tools were scattered about. The bed, however, was quite meticulously made. A jolt of anxiety ran through you suddenly, and Engie clearly noticed the shift in your mood.
“What’s wrong sweetheart?” He asked, cupping your face with his hands.
“I don’t have much experience,” you confessed, face flushing. Engie nodded and gave you an understanding smile.
“That’s okay darlin’, I’ll guide you along, alright?” He said. You looked up at him, a grateful expression on your face.
“Alright,” you said, and Engie leaned in for another kiss, which you eagerly returned. Eventually, the two of you made your way to the bed. You laid back on the soft mattress with Engie above you. His fingers hooked in the waistband of your pants, pulling them down. Your underwear followed soon after.
You shivered as he ran his hands over your hips, humming in appreciation. Feeling a bit awkward doing nothing, you decided to take some initiative, stripping off your shirt and bra and tossing them aside. But now, you just felt even more vulnerable and exposed.
“Goddamn, you are so pretty,” Engineer said whimsically, still exploring your body with his hands. He looked at you the way one looks at a sunset, a gaze full of genuine admiration. It barely even looked lustful, although the sizable bulge in his pants said otherwise.
You smiled at the praise, about to compliment him in return when you gasped at the feeling of his fingers circling your entrance. Gradually, he worked to make you even more wet than you already were.
“Dell…” you whispered his name between soft sighs, still too shy to be especially loud. His movements began to slow, and he began to press his fingers into you. It was then that the panic you thought you had left behind decided to rear it’s damn head once again.
“Wait!”
Your stammering plea was all it took for Engie to stop in his tracks. His eyes, usually covered by goggles, met yours with concern. “I’m sorry darlin’, did I do somethin’ wrong?”
“No, definitely not, it’s just…” You shook your head, hesitant and a little embarrassed at how you had reacted. “I guess I panicked a bit. I’ve never done anything like this.”
“So, this is your very first time?” Engie’s eyes widened in realization. You nodded, fighting the urge to hide your blushing face in your hands.
“Yeah. I really meant it when I said I didn’t have much experience,” you admitted.
“Oh, darlin-’”
“Don’t start treating me any differently because of this, please!” You said, immediately noticing the cautious way he spoke once he realized you were a virgin. “I don’t want you acting like I’m a delicate little flower. I do want this, I just might need some instruction.”
Engie’s expression returned to his usual smile- not anything overly gentle, but a genuine smile. You sighed in relief at the sight of it. It was reassuring, and you could use all the reassurance you could get right now.
“I understand. I’ll be real thorough for you, honey. Don’t you worry,” he said, his hand traveling down your body again. “Is it alright if we pick up where we left off?”
“Yeah,” you spoke in a near whisper, nodding as you watched those fingers begin to rub at your entrance once again.
He ran his fingers along your slit like that for a while, being sure to get them wet enough before he carefully pushed one in. You reacted much more calmly this time, moaning softly. Engie paid close attention, gauging your reaction, which proved to be quite positive.
“Feelin’ good, darlin’?” He asked.
“Yeah,” you sighed, gasping louder when you felt Engie curl his finger against a certain spot within you. “Oh fuck, do that again!”
You hear him chuckle as he did just as you asked. It wasn’t long before he was able to carefully add a second finger. Both of those digits began to pulse against your sweet spot, making you arch against the mattress.
“That’s a nice spot there, ain’t it?” Engie asked, clearly pleased with how good he was making you feel.
He continued to thrust his fingers in and out of you. Each time he curled against your g-spot you felt yourself grow closer to the edge. When he coupled that with his thumb brushing over your clit, you thought you just might die
“Oh god, Engie,” you cried, already on the very edge of climax. “I’m close!”
He doubled his efforts, throwing all of his focus into making sure you felt as good as possible. He continued to stroke and thrust his fingers into you throughout your orgasm, making you gasp and moan until you finally came down from your high. He smiled down at your shuddering form, watching the look of pure bliss wash over your face.
“There we go. Feelin’ a bit more relaxed now?” He asked. You nodded with a satisfied sigh. You felt the metal of his robotic hand against your face, stroking your cheek softly. You were surprised that it wasn’t very cold at all, instead it felt just as warm as the rest of Engie’s body.
“Want to go a bit further?” He asked, his tone dipping into something more suggestive. An eager smile spread across your face, and you nodded. You sat back calmly as you watched Engie begin to pull off his own clothes.
“Hell yes,” you muttered to yourself, maybe a bit louder than you meant to. Engie couldn’t help but grin at your reaction. When he was down to only his boxers, you decided to be a bit bold. Reaching out, you hooked your fingers into the waistband and pulled them down for yourself, wanting to get a look at what lies underneath.
However, that one act of boldness apparently was all you had in you, because you almost immediately found yourself at a loss for what to do next. You stared at his erection, desperately trying to deduce your next step and keep your nerves at bay. Thankfully, Engie took this as his cue to take control of the situation again, pushing you onto your back until your head came to rest on a pillow.
Your legs were gently pushed apart, and Engie positioned himself between them. You shuddered in anticipation, and he looked up at you one more time before proceeding.
“Ready?” He asked, waiting for permission before going any further.
“Yes,” you said, pushing any lingering anxiety to the back of your mind. You were ready.
Even so, you couldn’t help a few soft whimpers that escaped as Engie entered you. Through the pleasure, there were also dull pangs of discomfort that caught your attention. You had been prepared well, but sometimes a little bit of pain was unavoidable. Embarrassed at the expressions you were probably making, you covered your face with your arms.
“You’re real tight darlin’” Engie groaned, not yet daring to move. He could tell how tense you were. “You alright?”
“Hurts a bit,” you stammered, your arms still over your face. “Not as bad as I thought it would though.”
“Try to relax, sweetheart.” You felt Engie’s hands stroking your sides, gently kneading your curves. “You’re doing so well, and it’ll start to feel good soon.”
You finally let your arms fall from your face, looking up into Engie’s reassuring gaze. As he instructed, you tried to relax, taking deep breaths and focusing on the gentle way he was caressing you.
“That’s it, good girl,” he crooned as he watched the stress melt away from your face. “Just keep breathin’ deep like that.”
Just as he promised, the pain began to fade. A pleasant fullness began to replace it, as well as a desperate desire for any kind of motion. Engie kept a close watch on your reactions, and could tell when you were ready for more.
“I’m gonna start moving now, alright darlin’?” He said, his hands coming to rest on your hips.
“Please do,” you said.
His thrusts were shallow at first, testing your reaction to this new feeling. Of course, once he was sure that you were enjoying yourself, he began to move in earnest. Still, he was quite gentle for the time being. You moaned softly, wrapping your arms around his shoulders, as he rocked his hips against yours.
“There we go. Feels good now doesn’t it?” Engie asked, even though the answer was obvious from the way you moaned and arched beneath him.
“God, yes!” You gasped, your eyes meeting Engie’s for a brief, intimate moment. “Could you go a bit harder?”
“Sure sweetheart. Let me know if I get too rough though, alright?” His pace began to speed up, and you moaned in appreciation. Your legs wrapped around his waist, as if to pull him even closer. As if he could be any closer to you than he already was.
“You’re doing such a good job honey. Takin’ me so well,” Engie groaned, his pace slowing a bit. He began to move more methodically, as if searching.
“ Oh fuck !” You covered your mouth, startled by your unintentional increase in volume. Engie simply grinned down at you, having found what he was looking for, and began to aim for that sensitive spot inside you. He thought back to how you had reacted when he pressed against that spot earlier with just his fingers, and wondered how long you would last with him thrusting up against it like this.
“Don’t be shy darlin,’ moan nice and loud for me. I love hearin’ those beautiful sounds.” Engie gripped your waist, keeping your body steady as his hips snapped forward even faster.
“God, Dell! Fuck, keep going! Just like that!” You cried out. The pleasure was too overwhelming to allow for any kind of shame in your mind anymore.
“That’s it. You’re such a good girl. Let me know how good I’m makin’ you feel.” He thrust hard into your writhing body. The soft creaking of the bed grew gradually louder as you begged for him to go faster and harder. You wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.
“Dell, I’m so close! Don’t stop,” you begged. Your hands fell to your sides, gripping the sheets as you felt your climax approaching rapidly. Again, you felt his hand caress down your body, and once his fingers were stroking your clit, it was all over for you.
“Dell, oh god! Dell,” you screamed his name like it was a lifeline as a powerful orgasm hit you.
“It’s alright sweetheart, I’ve got you.” He held you close to his body as you came, arching off the bed and trembling in his embrace. Small tremors ran through your body as you came down from your high. You whimpered as Engie thrust into you a few more times until he too finished with a deep groan.
He rolled over next to you on the bed, an arm wrapped firmly around your shoulders. Your legs were tangled with his, and you threw an arm over his chest, still hungry for any kind of contact to ground yourself in this moment, to remind yourself that this really happened.
“You did good, honey. You did real good,” Engie sighed. No words had to be exchanged to know that you had both thoroughly enjoyed yourselves, but that didn’t mean you didn’t enjoy the compliments he heaped on you. You smiled, soaking up the praise even as the post orgasmic euphoria began to ebb away.
Your heartbeat slowed and the adrenaline began to fade. It wasn’t long before exhaustion was setting in for the two of you. You nestled against Engie, perfectly content to fall asleep in his embrace.

A short introduction to balisongs
Tumblr media
Balisongs. You might know them as butterfly knives. Kickass, The Punisher, Team Fortress 2—there's a chance you've seen them in some form of media.
An entire community exists around this type of knife, but with its illegality in many parts of the world, some people without a functioning brain might try to convince you that this community is filled with hoodlums preying on unsuspecting people with these knives.
But nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, most of this community sees the balisong not as a weapon, but as a skill toy and flow art somewhat similar to yoyo and kendama.
I'm a part of this community, and I want to introduce you to the basics of balisongs and the community around them. There's so much to unpack that it isn't even funny, so how about the parts of the balisong and how to get started?
Let's start with the clip above. I'm clearly using an actual knife, so how am I avoiding getting cut? The answer is that I have an understanding of the different parts of the knife.
Tumblr media
As shown above, the balisong can be broken up into three different parts: - The blade - The bite handle - The safe handle
The blade is, well... the blade. I don't know what else to say about it. Generally speaking, every balisong trick under the sun exists under the understanding that there's one side that will cut you, or the bite side, and one side that won't, or the safe side. The handle on the bite side is called the bite handle, and the handle on the safe side is called the safe handle.
Balisongs themselves can be broken down into two categories: trainers and live blades. - A trainer has a fake "blade" that lets you practice flipping as much as you want without having to risk injuring yourself. Generally accessible in most parts of the world, and much less likely to get confiscated by customs. - A live blade is the real thing with a real blade, through and through. Flipping a live blade has an inherent risk of injury since it can Stab™, but unless you're stupid any cuts you do get from it won't be that bad. Live blades aren't exactly legal everywhere, so remember to check your local knife laws if you're thinking about buying a live blade.
Although I recommend you start on a trainer, whether you buy a trainer or live blade first is entirely up to you. Just remember that if you buy a live blade, you'll have to take extra precautions to avoid any serious injury.
Tumblr media
Okay, so with all that out of the way...
Where you do buy a balisong? And who even makes them?
If you're 100% serious about wanting to get into this hobby, it's best not to waste your time with most of the trainers you can find on Amazon, with one exception: the Nabalis Vulp, which is a good enough flipper and will have everything you need to get started flipping.
I know the price seems a bit steep for what it is at $65 USD, but bear with me because this hobby can get very expensive for reasons too technical for a post like this. Once you feel like you want to upgrade from the Vulp, here are some knives and trainers I can recommend at varying price points: - LDY Orion ($75 USD/$85 USD for the live blade) - Machinewise Prysma Pro ($185 USD) - Squid Industries Krake Raken ($250 USD)
Some big(ger) makers on the scene right now are Squid Industries, Machinewise, Glidr, Nabalis, BRS, Fellowship Blades, Zippy Balisong, and Jerry Hom. And as for content creators, my personal favorites are Will Hirsch, Blade Bias, and Disuko, with Big Flips providing all of the tutorials you need to get started. This is a very niche hobby, so a lot of major figures in the community are approachable and open to questions you may have on things like Reddit and Instagram, but as with any other person you meet, do remember to treat them with some level of respect.
If you wanna see just short of everything that's on the market right now, I recommend checking out BuffaloDIngus's guide on balisongs, which also goes a lot more in-depth than I can with this style of content.
I hope you give my hobby a try, and happy flipping!

Fictober 2023:
Day 1: "It's not too late, let's go." - College AU, studying for finals turns into a race against the clock for food
Fandom: Double Life Relationship: Team Rancher
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 838 ----------------
Tango and Jimmy had been lost in their studies for what felt like an eternity. Their cozy apartment had transformed into a fortress of textbooks, scattered notes, and the too occasional snack wrapper. The rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall was accompanied by the occasional sigh of frustration, as they battled to conquer the looming specter of their final exams.
Amid the sea of books and laptop screens, Jimmy's gaze shifted from his own work to Tango, who was hunched over his desk, brows furrowed in deep concentration. Even in the midst of their academic stress and the occasional error in his code, Tango looked undeniably adorable. His tousled hair and those endearing furrows on his forehead never failed to make Jimmy's heart flutter.
But the rumbling in their stomachs could no longer be ignored.
"Tango," Jimmy sighed, running a hand through his tousled hair, "I think I'm hitting the wall here. My brain can't process anything more."
Tango nodded, rubbing his face in exhaustion, the frustration evident in his voice. "Yeah... my code keeps error-ificating," he exclaimed with a mix of exasperation and a hint of amusement, a playful sparkle in his eyes.
Jimmy couldn't help but chuckle, despite the fatigue weighing on them both. "It seems we've reached our limits. I think it's time for a break." He reached over and gently closed Tango’s laptop, earning a grateful glance from his study partner.
Their eyes met, and they shared a silent but mutual understanding. It was as if their stomachs had declared a truce in the ongoing battle of academia.
Yet, as they checked the time, their eyes widened in simultaneous realization. The clock on the wall revealed a cruel truth – it was well past midnight, and their beloved late-night restaurant, the one that served their ultimate comfort food, was teetering on the edge of closing for the night.
Tango sighed in defeat, leaning back into his chair. "Well, I guess we'll have to settle for making ramen or something-"
But before he could finish his sentence, Jimmy flung a jacket at his face. "It's not too late; let's go," he declared with a determined glint in his eye. Tango's heart skipped a beat as a smile spread across his face, and he hurriedly donned his coat.
With their newfound energy, they leaped from their chairs, threw on their coats, and dashed out the door. Hand in hand, they sprinted through the dimly lit campus, their laughter and the sound of their footsteps echoing in the stillness of the night. The campus, usually teeming with students, was deserted, the silence broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant hum of a car. But for Tango and Jimmy, the world had narrowed down to a singular purpose – reaching the restaurant before it closed.
Taking the lead, Tango guided Jimmy through the dimly lit campus pathways, his grip firm and reassuring, leading him through the shortcuts they had discovered ages ago. The campus seemed to come alive around them, with the trees rustling in excitement and the stars twinkling overhead in approval.
As they dashed past the iconic university library, their breaths visible in the chilly air, they could see the faint glow of its neon sign in the distance, a beacon of hope in the night.
Their pace quickened, and their hearts pounded in unison. Finally, they arrived at the restaurant's entrance, panting, breathless, and thoroughly disheveled, but filled with a sense of triumph.
The server, a kind and understanding woman, greeted them with a warm smile. "Aren't you two cutting it close tonight?" she teased.
Tango and Jimmy exchanged a desperate yet hopeful look, their breaths still coming in ragged gasps. "Not too late for your favorite couple, right?" Tango reasoned.
The waitress couldn't help but chuckle at their undeniable enthusiasm. With a nod, she signaled the kitchen to prepare their usual order. "More like the couple who keeps us in business," she snickered before locking the door behind them. "You boys want to sit?"
Jimmy smiled as he settled into a chair in the front waiting area. "Not tonight; we have a long night ahead," he explained as Tango joined him, snuggling into his side. The waitress left them be to begin her cleaning duties.
As they waited for their food to arrive, Tango reached for Jimmy's hand, their fingers interlocking in silent celebration. The thrill of making it just in time filled their hearts to the brim.
"I told you we'd make it," Jimmy whispered, his eyes gleaming with relief and affection.
Tango squeezed Jimmy's hand, momentarily forgetting his exhaustion. "Yes, you did. Do you want a prize?" he teased.
"Maybe," Jimmy replied, a fond smirk on his face.
Tango rolled his eyes and leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Jimmy's lips. "How about now? Is that a good prize?"
Jimmy pretended to contemplate for a moment, earning a gentle nudge from Tango. He giggled, then placed a tender kiss on the top of Tango's head. "Perfect."
