[Sensual] Janeway/Shepard

@parallaxedcaptain | Janeway/Shepard - smut meme. ( accepting )

  “I never thought these uniforms were... the easiest to strip out of,” Shepard’s breathless response follows as Janeway’s hands undo each clasp holding her red and black uniform, sliding the heavy fabric off of broad shoulders, tracing fingertips all down her arms. 

  “Good thing I’m experienced,” hails the Captain’s answer, leaning up on her toes to press kiss after kiss along prominent collar bones, over the straps of her undershirt. The scent of that whiskey lingers on her breath; it makes her face warm, but Kathryn makes it warmer when she kisses her neck at the conjuncture of neck and shoulder - a sensation enough to make her eyes roll back, rewarded with a low, guttural moan.

  The Captain continues her descent; steadfast hands slide down her ribs, her waist, and settle along the line of muscular hips, just at the hem of her regulation pants. Spared not even a moment’s hesitation, Janeway untucks her undershirt, pulling and insisting it to be taken off - obliging, of course, Shepard lifts her arms, stomach shuddering at the rush of cool air against scarred skin; a myriad of barely healed scars, forked in the shape of lighting all down her left side. The Captain spends time tracing her fingers along each divot and valley, as if studying her. At one spot, along the prominent ‘v’ of her lower abdomen, Alice gasps sharply. 

 “Ticklish,” is all she manages. She sees Janeway grin before moving on, rising to her full height once more in favour of pulling at the elastic of her sports bra.

“Up and over,” she issues her command and her 2nd obliges, tugging at the item and slipping her arms out. With her breasts free, Janeway continues on her path, this time with her mouth, taking each one at a time, tasting, licking and flicking her tongue over hardening nipples. Alice lifts her head back, peering down but one particular slip of teeth forces a gasp. The familiar flush stems from between her breasts, along the hard surface of her sternum, to her delicate throat and finally, to high cheekbones where it settles, making her feel HOT in the face. “Easy, Commander. I’d expect you to keep it together a little longer.”

“Heh, well....” Shepard wets her lips, clearing her throat as Janeway then takes a nipple between her teeth, and the sensation immediately goes right to her cunt, and standing upright becomes that much more difficult. “I’m doing my best, Captain. Please. Continue.”

Alice can feel Kathryn grin against her chest, but she doesn’t linger much longer, favouring the option to undo the single button of her trousers, letting them fall from her long, long legs to the ground in a heap. What she doesn’t expect, is the Captain to go with them, assaulting her with kisses just above the knee, hands massaging her muscular calves, and then, for the older woman to look up at her - stormy blues bright and eager in the dimmed lighting of the Captain’s quarters. Manicured nails just lift the bottom hems of her briefs.

“Off they come.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

[soulrph]

Hi! I'm writing a fantasy story with gods (I took inspiration by the Greek mythology). I wanted to ask you what activities could they do to spend time among friends but also something more romantic (in particular a date // friends with benefits date). Thank you!

i’m so excited to do this but i’m also very aware that i may have misunderstood the situation, so here’s hoping some of these will be useful to you, my love!!

visiting a museum together!! granted, this is more for like, gods in the modern-era, but the idea of a pair of gods going into a historical museum together, moving through the wing dedicated to ancient greece, reading the historians’ and archaeologists’ perspectives and laughing at the parts that they got wrong, listening to the tour guide telling a group about the ancient myths and love stories. the tour guide saying “ah yes, this was his closest companion, he cared so deeply for him that he insisted they share the same bed, meals, even the same bath!” and the two gods just sharing a bag of sweets like “excuse me they were and remain to be passionately in love, you try sitting across the banquet table from them for a few thousand years and tell me they’re heterosexuals, DEBORAH--”

going star-gazing!! this is more era-neutral, but like, spreading out a blanket on a hilltop, lying down together side-by-side, gazing at the night sky and pointing out the different constellations, the shooting stars, idk if gods have like, incredibly vision or anything but maybe they can see distant planets. maybe there’s some of that “staring at the other person while they’re distracted when they should be staring at the stars” action, who knows.........

swimming in the ocean!! literally like. idk the rules, but if they’re gods, they might survive leaping off a cliff to cannon-ball into the ocean, right? and maybe they go diving down and seeing all the fish and coral and sealife down at the bottom, sneaking a little kiss down under the water where nobody can see them, emerging from the waves to build sand castles together and find a perfect shell to bring home as a souvenir. maybe they find pearls or something and make necklaces out of them, just for a little easter egg along the way where people say “that’s a great necklace!” and they’re like “oh yeah... it was a gift...”

pretending to be mortals for a day. no bc this could be so funny?? two gods doing absolutely everything in their power to be Very Convincing And Totally Real Mortals, and ending up celebrating every interaction with a human that doesn’t directly end with “hey, are you a god?”. they get to eat mortal food and drink mortal drinks, and for a full day they just pretend that they’re ordinary people without the burdens of godliness on their shoulders, and they get to see each other properly relax and be themselves for the first time ever, and it’s just the perfect relaxing day for both of them! (plus then u can dabble in a little angst revolving around them potentially being able to become mortal and the pros and cons of that, yk?? yk. )

going for a picnic!! swiping bottles of wine and platters of food and a few blankets, escaping their chambers and running into the forest or out to the beach or somewhere and sitting back and enjoying good food, the warm sun, and each other’s company in the process. maybe one of them has a musical instrument and plays it for the other, and maybe they pull flowers and braid them into each other’s hair, who knows!

learning how to dance together! a huge godly party is coming up, and they don’t want to be involved in preparing for it, so they come up with this excuse that they need to learn how to dance, and they hide away in some beautiful dancing hall, but after a few hours one of them finds out that the other person genuinely cannot dance, and is so affronted that they insist on teaching them how to, and they just end up dancing together and laughing at their mistakes and stepping on toes and tripping over, like dancing lessons are an UNDERRATED EXPERIENCE--

slipping away from a banquet/feast together! hiding in an old room full of relics, sharing a plate of food and getting giggly as they look through the old things in the room, watching the stars through the window, hiding under curtains as people search for them, using their powers idly as the evening stretches on and the party whirls around them.

trick or treat 2021 letter

DEAR MY KIND AND HARDWORKING GIFTER,

hi there my ao3 is zagspect and thanks in advance for making me a piece of fic or art in this fun little exchange! heres some food for thought to munch on.

i loooove slice of life, character moments, outsider povs that make things we’re used to in canon seem absurd or funny or weird or scary, humor, horror-in-fluff’s-clothing, sweetness-found-in-horror, and also just plain sweetness. feel free to get weird or experimental with your writing if you think the moment calls for it :3 im not really requesting anything sexy-nsfw in this exchange so pls keep things down to a nice pg13 (high-rated gore for higurashi work is an exception, lol, like, it’s when they cry. that’s just part of the deal.)

🌸✨

cardcaptor sakura (trick or treat!)

clear card manga spoilers are fine with me! manga and anime canon are both fine, and mashing them up is cool too. no aus past that though, please!

clow reed

the big man himself! scare me with his his manipulative tendencies, his eternal pushpull fear of both being eternally relied on and being no longer needed, the way he treats other people, especially people who love him. (yue! the madoushi! i am into both of these being unrequited romantically on his end, but he’s not gonna just gonna tell them that, you think he’s straightforward like that?) what’s daily life like in the clowse? creating a new card, what’s that like? does everybody get along with the normal, non magic neighbors? 

yelan li

what’s up with her??? what’s her relationship with her children like, what are the responsibilities of a magician family’s head, how weird is it that clow is kind of back all of a sudden, what’s her thoughts on sakura? fleshing out a minor character is always fun :]

eriol & li

okay, so, we get to the end of the original series. syaoran returns to hong kong. ????????. syaoran is in cahoots with eriol to (vaguely alluding to cc spoilers in case you haven’t caught up in the manga), do some pretty serious magic behind sakura’s back.

so, like... what went down in the ?????

kero & sakura & yue 

they’re FAMBILYYYYY. magic found family i love them so much. show me the depths of their care for her, and hers for them, the way there’s absolutely some ice to break with yue but when he gets loyal he will DIE for you, the way sakura can mend the rift between kero and yue, the way the two of them are balancing this wonderful openness and equality with oh yeah, she’s eleven, we kind of said some seriously dark stuff in the haze of sleepover talk didn’t we? 

ruby & spinel & eriol 

pre-canon or mid-canon or post-canon! what’s the dynamic between them, a quiet night in, a day out telling people that you’re connected by whatever lie you find funniest. going to tomoeda and having to pretend youre a kid, a teen, and a cat, but goddd you could all go for an elegant and adult glass of wine right now (especially the cat). what horrors are lurking in that house from the clow era that no one cares to address? like emotionally and also because it’s a magic wizard house with magic stuff in it. 

touya/yukito/yue 

i am here for any and all angles of this ship- all together, your touyukis, your yuetouyas, your yuekitos if you wanna get in on a rarely seen angle! (but pls have touya and/or yukito be 18+ at a time where yue shows interest in them). i wanna see the way they interact! how they deal with, you know, the everything! pre-relationship pining, going on a date, touya and yukito in college wondering if they’ll end up having different majors, different paths for the first time. yukito seeing yue on video for the first time (OH NO HES HOT), yukito and yue figuring out internal boundaries, etc etc etc.  

naoko and touya 

the girl who loves ghosts and the guy who sees (or, used to see), ghosts! does she follow him to one of his haunts (pun intended)? does he have to go to her for ghost sensing advice now that he’s a regular old human? does he have to save her from a ghost that means her harm? how excited is she to tell sakura about the COOL GHOST I MET WITH YOUR BROTHER OMG U DIDNT TELL ME HE LIKES GHOSTS??? and how much does sakura wanna sink into the ground lololol

🌹⚔️

revolutionary girl utena (trick or treat!)

ohh, what a place of scary happenings! tell me a fairytale, even if it’s not such a good idea. pre, mid, postcanon, im fine with it all. feel free to weave a web with easter egg references to any other media you feel is right for the moment- utena is all about Genre and Stories!

shadow girls 

i love them i love their whole everything. i wanna see a play, i wanna see them interact with other characters! what if they do a play AS the other characters, ooooh.

anthy/utena 

THE GIRLS WHO INVENTED LOVE THEMSELVES. ive read a thousand stories of them finding each other and it never gets old. id love to read about their life post-ohtori, especially the not-so-happily-ever-after parts- the old wounds reopening, the fights, and how they work through it, wont lose each other ever again. 

saionji/touga

what’s spookier than toxic masculinity? both of them miserably stuck, saionji obsessed with touga, touga believing anyone who believes in friendship is a fool. bro we are taking shirtless pictures among 500 potted cacti....why does my heart hurt..... oh shit its the cactus i rolled onto it ow ow

nanami

nanami being nanami! she’s got no clue how to act ever, she’s desperate, she’s trying SO HARD. i’d love to see a nanami finally getting out of there, too. leaving home with nothing but the clothes on her back, diamonds in her necklace, and a wheeled suitcase of raw eggs.... (crunch crunch crunch)

🎲🗓

higurashi when they cry (trick or treat!)

i’m a gou/sotsu enjoyer and gonna prompt about that a lot but original flavor is, of course, great too. pls dont go too heavy on info outside the main 8+saikoroshi+gou/sotsu? i haven’t read those. ive read umineko+ciconia though so references there are fine :3

rena/mion/keiichi

college days! getting together, crushing on each other, poly relationship figuringouts? dates that are just club meetings with kissing and all the ridiculousness of that.

satoko/rika

gou/sotsu era TOXIC LESBIAN EPIC MOMENTS!!!!!! obsession and desperation and satoko putting all her emotional eggs in rika’s basket no matter how angry she is with her, rika’s love for satoko across 100 years and how that all crumbles (to satoko) in the face of rika’s Cool School. rika wanting satoko to go to school with her so so so bad. deep pain and misunderstandings and acting badly (like, murder badly), and then, we hope, atonement and something new beginning? i love character moments where someones so obsessively in love it feels like its eating them up inside.

rena & satoko

look, rena’s smart and really pays attention to how people feel and i think, before or after satoko becomes a looper but especially after, she would make an attempt to have a heart to heart with satoko. and satoko, as a looper, will politely brush her off, will go you dont know me you can’t affect me. youre just a chess piece. when i get to the miracle world where rika loves me, ill listen to you. this you is here to die, or to kill. 

eua

oh eua is just using satoko up like a bar of soap and it takes satoko way, way too long to realize. evil girltalk/crush advice from the witchmom perhaps?

shion

meakashi made me LOVE her. internal shion moments, perhaps? shion being an empath (decides what ppl are thinking and instantly believes it)? shion in gou-era wanting to talk to satoko about st. lucia’s, but she never shows up to dinner?

okay i think that’s all for now!!! thanks and i hope you have fun!!!

This is long as Hell, friends and I apologise.

One inquisitive bitch has asked me:

1. Name one person (real or fictional) that you think you could 100% take on in a fight

Foaming mouth guy from Avatar. He’s got no stamina, barely any health, no skill. He’s unfocused and weak and my noodley nerd-ass could take him. (Though I am a little concerned he has rabies.)

2. What’s your favourite snack rn

Grilled cheese w veggies, mustard, and grilled tofu w a side of ketchup made by my roommate. It’s honestly the purest thing.

3. Which apocalypse do you think you’d do the best in? (i.e. Nuclear winter/ robot uprising/ Too many vampires, etc)

O man. I love apocalypse movies and I love survival horror (that one episode of the X Files where they’re trapped in a cabin, anybody?). I also genuinely love camping and I’m a bit of a medical hobbyist. I also watched an unreasonable amount of prepper videos on YouTube. That said, as mentioned above, I am a couch potato weekling. Furthermore, I don’t do well in conflict so if the world hierarchy collapses into a power vacuum where you have to Orange is the New Black-style intimidate ppl for supplies, I would melt and die quickly.

My best bet, it would seem, is an Arrival-esque alien apocalypse where the ones who have enough patience and sci fi knowledge to communicate w aliens are at the top of the food chain. And worst case scenario it’s better for my ego to die at the hands of an alien than a human.

Sci go apocalypses are just cleaner y'know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


4. Best and worst fandom you’ve been in? Or have you somehow managed to avoid fandom completely?

Worst has to be Steven Universe. I regret not just moving on after I got bored. Ah well.

(I also think celebrity/real ppl fandoms are a dead end.)

My other fandoms all have various pros and cons and it’s hard to pick a favourite.

Adventure Time has great fanart, great meta and ppl have yet to descend into Homestuck-ian chaos. That said, they’re quiet af. People also fixate way too much on the fake fanfic AU Fionna and Cake. I have yet to read a really good Bonny/Marcy fic and that is a tragedy (a few have come close tho). Bottom line for AT tho is that it’s my go to wholesome cartoonist fandom. I like that it has depth but that it’s generally very simple and fun and that the fans are mostly shut in animation adults.

AtLA/LoK fandom’s biggest pro is that it’s huge and you literally never ran out of quality content. I’ve even made a few friends via this decade old franchise. It’s also enjoyably rich and complex. One of my favourite (now inactive) blogs was one that connected world building and little background Easter eggs to real Chinese history and culture. That wAs so cool!! I defs think as a Chinese person it allowed me to connect to non-western culture in a socially acceptable way.

The downsides tho are many: it can be overwhelmingly complicated (esp as someone who knows jack shit abt Chinese history), people take it too seriously, The Great Shipping Wars, it’s so big it’s a little lonely, the show itself has so many flaws upon greater inspection you wonder why you wasted your time on anything related to it, it’s an Asian themed story created by white dudes who make fun of their fans, the best parts of the show were written by other writers but those same white guys get k the credit. Also as w any fandom related to POC culture, racism happens. Anyways most of you know this already. IMO the best thing to have happened do the fandom is korrasami. Now it’s just abt Asian lesbians ruling the world.

(Though I also thoroughly enjoy the Family Rivalry part of the fandom. There are so mNy dysfunctional families to choose from!)

Rick and Morty is technically speaking my newest fandom. It’s got a lot of obvious cons (pickle Rick sexists, Szechuan sauce racists, asfhkkh incest) but one other con is just how pedantic and overly analytical people are abt the world building. I can’t breathe wo being corrected. RM has a misleadingly complicated high sci fi aesthetic that begets the kind of overanalysing my brand of overanalytical nerdiness can’t handle. Too many alternate universes. It’s just too complicated.

However one thing I like is that conversely I can overanalyse the writing and characters’ psychology/relationships (which I LOVE) and ppl take me very seriously. (At least they used to.) it’s kinda validating to have your 3k word essay on an old man’s bedroom and what that signifies for his depression get over 1k notes.

Rm also attracts the fun, super talented animation crowd so there’s boundless fanart and memes. I never knew I would like a gravity falls crossover retirement home AU btwn Rick and Stan so much but the art is objectively gorgeous?? So ??

I really dislike the lack of attention the female characters get from fandom bc they’re all really great? Female rep is limited but both canon and fic really do their 2-3 tokens justice. Also the jerry hatred is getting old (that male aggression… Like… Calm down, Jake) but it’s a refreshing departure drom when Megg from family guy was the butt of the joke.

Harry Potter, one of the pillars of nerd society, has both changed my life and irreconcilably annoyed me to death. (W no thanks to the racist creator herself!) One can’t underestimate how huge the hp fandom is which offers you as many reasons to love it as reasons not to. Harry Potter’s canon has complex world building that’s also charming enough not to take itself too seriously and much the same could b said of fanon. To a degree. Certain corners of the fanbase are fantastic shitposters and meme-ers and can draw you back in like a black hole. Casually enjoying Harry potter imo is where it’s at. The fanfic is probably one of the most impressively vast. Strangers at Drakesaugh, believe it or not, still updates and not only that, I still read it.

Not casually enjoying Harry potter is, um, yikes? HP and Hunger Games love to insert themselves appropriately in real life political traumas and honestly the dedication of the fandom can be overwhelming.

The HP fanart corner of deviantart circa 2010-12 and @flocc HP comics however are the best.

Meet the Robinsons, Ye Olde Fandom, still stands to this day. (Thanks in part to me ngl) As Iroh might say, they are a proud people. MTR is so bizarre and tiny it’s the only fandom I was able to read EVERY fic summary in existence (ones published on obscure sites excepted). The fandom has never ceased to surprise me for better or worse and mostly due to its age range. The original movie was intended for 8-12 yr olds and their (jaded) parents which means that now, ten years later, the fans are anywhere between 12 and 25. It has approximately 20 pieces of professional-grade fanart and fic and I am downright serious abt the quality and thoughtful complexity of this minority of fanart. Like I shit you not some of it’s almost too dark. However, tragically, one can’t talk abt obscure Disney fandoms wo also mentioning the incest ships (this is what happens when middleschoolers have to resort to cartoons to explore their sexuality in an anti sex ed world), the disorganised crossovers, and the blinding lack of imagination. Nonetheless, that a fandom of any kind could sprout from a 90 min cgi movie before the recession, based off an obscure but objectively fascinating children’s book, is still impressive. The fandoms smallness can in many wars work to everybody’s benefit: it’s a tightly knit community w little to no drama. And lots of memes (that I mostly make) to enjoy sincerely or ironically.

I’m also going to mention, very briefly, the Twin Peaks fandom, most of whom, even the die hards, are v casual when it comes to fan content (I need more fic damnit). Nonetheless it’s a decidedly cool art kid crowd for an art house show and I really enjoy befriending twin peaks watchers.

5. What’s one hot food that you prefer cold? (or, alternatively, one cold food you like hot)

Is it snobby to say I like food to be the temperature God intended?

Like I like cold pizza and salad-y pasta but I wouldn’t mind if everything were room temperature as long as the food itself was well made.

6. ya like jazz? What music do you enjoy listening to? Can you recommend any songs/ artists from that genre?

I think in some contexts I can like jazz. It’s very cosy and nostalgic, it can make you feel like a grand dame stepping out of your limo into your martini filled mansion as records pop around you and your fur carpeted living room. I also occasionally like jazz covers and alternate genres of jazz like electro swing etc.

Generally though I also think jazz is a little antiquated and a little all over the place. I lean more towards the ambiguous minimalism of mellow techno music like Jonna Lee, Grimes, Björk, early Lorde, Yasmine Hamdan, Austra, TRST, etc

I mean I don’t stick to just one genre (I imagine most ppl don’t). I like alternative (Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Joanna Newsom) and some musicians who seem to completely exist outside of genre like iMonster and the Gorillaz. Not to mention straight up pop like broods, Ellie goulding, lady gaga and Lana del rey. (I mean technically Ldr isn’t pop but u get the ideer)

7. What binge worthy show do you like?

So many man. There are so many out there! Twin peaks, Transparent, Love, Grace and Frankie, Adventure Time, House of Cards, Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty, Mad Men, Girls, Broad City, Black Mirror, Avatar TLA, 6Teen, Chowder, Over the Garden Wall, Flapjack, the first season of Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, etc

The list goes on. I’m a TV fiend.

8. What’s an old meme that you miss and wish would be brought back?

Always liked the Gothic [x town or whatever] meme. It was like a text post version of the cursed images meme. Currently I’m really enjoying the song from another room meme and I hope even after it gets old it’ll make a comeback.

9. Tell me your aesthetic



O man. That’s a can of worms! Okay. Deep breath.

I like futurism, of all kinds. I like strong lines and clear shapes. I like colour blocking and minimalism and glass and holographic LED neons. I like white Japanese urban tiled buildings. I like aliens and ruins and cubes and white and colour blocking and black. I like technology and aliens and Comme des Garçons and Issey Miyake. Rooms that are empty but for one light and one window and one plant. Love that.

I like the midcentury cubism and Mod and 30’s futurism. Clear and strong industrial shapes and curves and post modernist abstractionism.

I also love nature, I love most every Björk and Iamamiwhoami music video. I love the mountains and the forests and the desert and the winter tundra and most of all I love the water. A vast expanse of sky and sea w so many colours and textures. I love the 2000s and funny blob shapes and y2k’s obsession w secondary colours and shiny round things. Love pink. I am a grown adult who will never tire of pink. (Though I don’t really like when people overdo pink.) I love cursed image family photos taken with flash in a suburb. I love the grime and the sanitary aesthetic of suburbs and hospitals and brutalist office spaces. The fluorescent lights of the institution but with purple carpeting!

I love 70s mod and I love colorful 80s brutalism I like it when houses are shaped weirdly and they have carpets and polished curved wooden countertops and spacious nothingness where everything looks clean and cosy and bizarrely ugly and it all looks like an art gallery w too many plants.

I also really love maximalism and wood and detail and fur and velvet and embroidery and silk and windows and wood carvings.

I love 70s kitsch like John waters movies and Shrimps designer fake fur CDG17 where they just piled on knickknack after knickknack onto white dresses w food long trains. Toys and novelty items and lamps shaped like a woman’s leg in a fishnet stocking. (See also: most Tim burton movies, wes Anderson, Carrie fishers house)

An overwhelming mishmash of wool patterns with clean cubic 70s architecture and so many plants and windows and wallpaper and candles and cobwebs. Also really like witchy mourning jewelry and essentially every house in Harry potter. Love the unfortunately racist boho/hippie aesthetic. Any house designed by bill kirsch is a masterpiece. Woven baskets on the ceiling piles of hats and art supplies everywhere. Stuff!! Everywhere! Hidden passageways reading nooks fireplaces the Pink Palace from Coraline!

Everything!!!

I’m a cartoonist who’s a nerd for design so I like when concepts are taken to the extreme in a humourously charming and clear-minded way. Whatever aesthetic someone chooses, they should go all out and really dedicate themselves to the highest form of that aesthetic. It has to be perfect without being sanitary of fake. It has to be alive yet beautiful, frozen in one perfect moment.

10. Favourite time of day and why?

Dusk. I think it’s a nostalgia thing. I loved the hours before bed time as well the hours before dinner when it was getting dark and the sun was reflecting freaky colours along the horizon while I ran around the grass. It’s cozy but it’s spacious and adventurous. So many things can happen at dusk!



11. You have the choice to live in any fictional universe - which one do you pick and why?

Harry Potter!!! You get the best of both worlds: magical, over-romanticised Victorian/medievalism, wish-fulfillment surrealism and wifi. It’s great. Likelihood of dying is so low, medicine is so advanced and even then ppls n°1 choice of lethal weapon (Avada Kedavra) is painless. Me and Luna could hang in her garden. I’d never have to pay for the subway again. I could live a nomadic life in a tent w infinite space. If you chose to live as a wizard amongst Muggles you’re basically god and you can cheat capitalism. Gravity is my bitch! And I’m not gna lie my dream house has always been a combination of The Burrow, the Lovegood house, and Shell Cottage.

My turn to pick your brain:

1 Favourite texture?

2 Favourite smell?

3 Favourite children’s book/children’s TV show? (I’m talking about the bizarre abstract ones for toddlers)

4 Best and worst prank you’ve ever pulled?

5 Weirdest beginning of a friendship?

6 When you’ve been in fandom for a while you start to notice you’ve a habit of staying in the same corners. What corner are you in? Are you part of the fluffy ship corner? The intense world building spec meta corner? The shitpost comic fanart corner? Etc

7 If you could invent a class that would be obligatory for all high schools across your country what would it be?

8 What’s the weirdest thing you’ve gotten at Halloween while trick or treating?

9 Weirdest family tradition of yours?

10 Describe your significant other (or your crush, or your dream partner or if you’re aromantic your fave person) through only TV references.

11 Favourite piece of dialogue in a movie?

I don’t know 11 ppl but nonetheless tagging: @that-guy-in-the-bowler-hat @skairheart @nochangenohope @eventheslightestrayofsunshine@autistic-jaredkleinman@phoenixkluke

…and YOU (if you were not mentioned above and so choose to accept this mission)

How to Make Them Say Mmmmmmmm

My mother has many positive attributes but unfortunately when I was a kid, cooking wasn’t really her forte. I recall her attempt to make sauerbraten.

Wisegeek describes this dish as “Sauerbraten, literally "sour roast” in German, is a German form of pot roast, usually made with beef. However, it can also use lamb, mutton, pork, venison, and other types of roasting meat. Originally, sauerbraten was made with horse meat. The meat is marinated in red wine vinegar and water with spices and other seasonings before cooking.“ http://m.wisegeek.com/what-is-sauerbraten.htm

Well during my teen years I clearly recall that there were starving children in Africa to whom I would gladly offer my meal but this time, I didn’t want to hurt the children. I give her props for trying. This dish takes hours to cook at a minimum. Some people marinate it for days. Unfortunately, it was the perfect description of this meal. Sour roast! She hadn’t tasted it yet and was used to my refusal to eat. I was told to try it…I did. Then I was told to try a bigger piece…with tears in my eyes I did. Then I was told to try another….I begged for mercy but received none at all. My hand shook as I lifted the extremely sour meat to my lips. My body rejected it is all I’m going to say at this point. By the time I returned to the table, my mother had taken a bite and was apologizing profusely. She knew the horror she had inflicted upon me and I do believe she then ordered a pizza. I was eternally grateful that she did not try to make this dish again.

So what made me think of all of this, my mother Did something she has never done before today. She asked me for a recipe. It’s not a difficult one but it is yummy. Through the years, I have watched many a cooking show and read many cook books in the hopes that my children never had a comparable sauerbraten story. I think I was successful but the only way to know for sure would be to ask my children. I proudly passed my recipe onto my Mother and I hope she enjoys it thoroughly! Maybe she can even make them for our next holiday get Together (though I’ll have to remember to tell her to leave the paprika off a few for my niece ;) ) Thank you Mom for asking. It makes me feel very good to know that you enjoy my cooking xoxoxo

That all being said, I will happily share my recipe with you dear reader and I hope you enjoy them. A simple yummy appetizer (or breakfast for the morning after if there are any left-suggestion -save a couple aside if you want any. They go fast)

TimeyWimeyGirl’s Devilishly Yummy Eggs

Place eggs in cold water in pot , Turn stove on & let water come To a boil. Put lid on pot and remove from Heat as soon as the water boils!

Set timer for 4 minutes When timer goes off. Place entire pot(with lid off ) under cold running water. You can even add ice to the pot

When cool, (don’t burn your hands like me), peel eggs and cut in half. Put yolk in separate bowl

Break yolks up with a fork as small as u can. Place mashed egg yolks in baggie

Add approx 1 tablespoon mayo(u can use the one that has olive Oil in it-still tastes good and is better for you) add Dijon mustard —approx ½ the amount of mayo (mayo may vary depending on the number of eggs) Add a little salt & pepper.

Mush together in baggie till well mixed and a good consistency Cut small opening in corner of baggie to turn into piping bag

Use baggie to fill the egg halves with filling using a circular motion. Sprinkle a tad bit of paprika across finished devilish egg

For a neat surprise, on Easter, color your whites by adding food coloring to water in a separate mug (u can use a glass but mugs have more room), (no vinegar-will change taste of The eggs). Place the whites into the mixture. Leaving till the whites in the colored water until they are your chosen color(I prefer pastels for Easter). Remove and let air dry or paper towel dry before filling 😘

Enjoy!! Disclaimer-should you find yourself behaving Devilishly after consuming these, it is NOT the dish but only your own naughty self so BEHAVE 😉

What time do you wake up most mornings? Honestly, ever since I’ve been out of school I have been sleeping in until like 10:30am and it has been absolutely wonderful. 

Do you enjoy your job? If unemployed, are you content being so? I absolutely love my job. It is by far my favourite job that I’ve ever had and sometimes it doesn’t even feel like work. It just feels like I get to hang out with my friends and get paid for it. 

What is something you have given a lot of thought to lately? My applications. 

Do you have any tattoos? Do you want any/more? I have my one little Death Cab tribute tattoo on my left inside wrist. I can think of some hypothetical tattoos that I like to daydream about but I don’t know if the motivation is strong enough to actually go back and get more. Plus I’m scared of the pain. 

What is your favourite Christmas movie? Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation. Duh. 

What do you get complimented on the most? My eye colour or oddly enough my butt. 

If money was no object, where would you move to? Vancouver or Victoria. 

Do you believe in soul mates? No. The idea is too limiting for me, and that makes it terrifying. What if you let your soul mate go? What if it doesn’t work out?  

If you could wake up tomorrow and be fluent in 3 additional languages, which would you choose? French, Japanese, and OooOoohohoo I don’t even know. Maybe Arabic because I feel like that would allow me to understand a lot of the news better. 

Would you rather go on a relaxing beach type holiday to the Caribbean, a cultural holiday to Japan or an adventure packed holiday to South Africa? Cultural holiday to Japan all. the. WAY. 

Who are the three most important people in your life? Me, myself, and I. (LOOOOL) 

Would you sacrifice everything for love? LOL no

Have you ever been in love? Yes yes. It was wonderful at the time!!! :) 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Hopefully not where I am now. 

Are you scared of the future? A little bit right now because things are currently in limbo. But I’m also excited and energized by that fact. 

What’s the last reason you held someone’s hand? I can’t really remember. 

Are you lonely? Be honest. A little bit. I miss having sex lmao and having someone to spend the night always made me sleep better and feel better. But I have my friends :) 

Listening to anything? Nooo. My roommates are sleeping and I don’t want to awaken my precious angel babes.  

Last thing said out loud? "Bye!! I love you all!” 

Last thing bought? My staff meal at work? And before that, a shirt and a sweater from American Eagle. 

Last text received? “Much love to u always xoxoxoxoxoxoxo” from Sydney~ 

What has made you happy today? Ohmygod so much!!!! I got invited to brunch and got to have lols. I ran 5km on the treadmill and even though I HATE treadmills my time wasn’t all that bad, I got a nice new sweater in my favourite colour, I made some decent money at work, I got asked out on a date and a cute guy that I like is going to teach me how to make pasta, we made plans to go to Banff to party... LOTS OF GOOD THINGS. 

What has made you sad today? I had a 1-on-1 session at my gym today that I got for free when I signed up and my form on a lot of exercises that I used to SLAY is sooo bad. 

What room are you in? My room! 

Last thing eaten? Cheetos~~~~*~~*~~ YES

Last thing you drank? Good old fashioned H20. 

Rate your day on a scale of 1-10: Honestly like 8. It was a wonderful day. 

What websites do you have bookmarked? Just a whole lot of recipes. Some interesting reddit threads that I’ve come across. Job postings. And rent postings from back in the summer. 

Last reason you kissed someone? Because I wanted to! :) 

Do you have an iPhone? Yeah. 

Do you bite your nails? If so, do you wish you didn’t? Hahahahahahhah omg yes I do. So badly. I desperately wish I didn’t but I don’t even notice it when it’s happening anymore. 

Last pair of shoes you wore? My salt-stained navy blue H&M booties. Love those things. 

Last movie you watched? Perks of Being a Wallflower with Emma :) 

Name something you’re grateful for. My job! 

Are you wearing anything that’s not yours? Nooope. 

Do you shop at Urban Outfitters? Sometimes if I’m feeling spend-y. 

Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Nope nope. 

Has anyone ever tried stealing your boyfriend/girlfriend away? I don’t really know how to answer this. There were definitely lots of girls that hit on my ex but in retrospect I don’t know if they knew he wasn’t single at the time so were they really trying to STEAL him or just GET him? 

If you were in the hospital, do you think any of your exes would come see you? Maybe if I was like... on my death bed. For any other reason, probably not. Not really necessary. 

Would you rather read an entire encyclopedia or an entire dictionary? Definitely an encyclopedia.

What do you have in common with the last person you kissed? Mmmm lots. We both like music festivals, we both were in the same program at school, we are the same age... idk. Lots. 

Are you doing anything important tomorrow? Hell no. It’s going to be a lovely day of doing nothing. 

Would you move out your house if you could right now? I don’t know how to answer this one. I LOVE WHERE I LIVE so so much and it’s perfect in every single way it’s just too BIG for our current needs and our utility bills are too high. But the hassle of moving for that reason makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. 

Can you whistle? Oh yeah. 

Do you like being called baby? By certain people. 

Would you rather drink orange juice or milk? Orange juice all the WAY. 

Do you wish you could kiss someone right now? VERY BADLY. 

Do you hate when people interrupt your sleep? Honestly it happens so rarely I don’t even know. 

Do you miss the way things used to be between you and someone else? Yessss. 

What do you think of your best friend’s ex? Quite literally the most manipulative, selfish, idiotic piece of fucking SHIT that has ever walked this earth and he is EXTREMELY damaging to her life and self worth and mental health and if I could personally exterminate one person from this planet it would, no doubt, be him. 

How long would you wait to say “I love you” in a relationship? A long time. I want to make sure it’s not superficial and I want to make sure it’s not going to scare him. I’d probably feel like I was in love a few months before I’d actually tell my partner. It took me about eight months in my last relationship. 

If you had a child at the age you’re at now, do you think you’d be a good parent? I would be an absolutely terrible parent. 

When was the last time you felt tempted to do something you shouldn’t? Did you do it? HAHA. The other night whilst at work. I almost went through with it but chickened out because I was like “Megan you are bein CRAZY girl” 

What year was it five years before you were born? 1989! 

What holiday is closest to your birthday? Easter. 

What is your name if you spell it without the letters “e” “y” and “t”? Mgan Macka.

What year is the oldest car you or your family owns? Mine for sure. It’s a 2004. 

Who is your 9th contact in your phone? Alina! 

Have you had your birthday yet this year? No! It’s coming up!!! I am VERY excited. 

Why did you go to the doctor the last time you went? I wanted to discuss getting some kind of prescription skincare routine going. 

How old will you be in 5 years? 27. 

Where was the last place you went? Sara and Alex’s. 

Is there a mirror in your room? There are many. 

Do you have a twin? No! I have a birthday twin but we’re two years apart. 

Who was the last person that borrowed money from you? I don’t recall. I’m pretty fucking stingy about my money so I’m not usually the one people come to for a loan. 

The last time you went out to eat, what did you order? This morning I went to brunch with my pals and I got an eggs benedict with kale, garlic, and mushrooms. 

The last text message you sent to someone else - what did it say? I said, “Thanks buddy!!! Hope you get some sleep love you lots!” 

Would you be prepared to do a job that you didn’t like, if it paid well? See: my internship this summer.  

If you hair is straight, do you ever wish it was curly? If your hair is curly, do you ever wish it was straight? I wish every single day that my hair was curlier or wavier. 

Is there someone that dislikes you for no reason? There are tons of people who dislike me with pretty good reasons. 

When did you last see an attractive member of your preferred sex? Did you speak to them? Do you think you’ll see them again? A few hours ago. I definitely spoke to him and I will definitely see him again in the very near future. 

Do you tend to have a lot of those moments where you forget something that you wanted to say? Sorta. 

How long have you known the last person you text messaged? Over ten years now! WHAAAAT that’s wild. 

What exactly did you eat for your last meal? Have you any idea what you’ll be eating your next meal? I had a sandwich at work. Next meal is breakfast and I’m kinda LOW in the food department so we’re gonna probably be dining on some OATMEAL tomorrow morning. WONDERFUL. 

When will you next go for a night out? HmmMMm not too sure actually. This weekend and next weekend aren’t really going to be “night out” kind of things. 

Are you still with the person you fell hardest for? If not, do you still care for each other? No, not with him. I care about him in the sense that I hope he is doing well but want absolutely nothing to do with him. 

If you found out that your ex was having a child with someone else, how would you feel about that? It would honestly probably make me feel relieved because that is not something I’d want for myself at ALL so I’d feel more solidified in knowing we don’t belong together at all. 

Is there someone from your past that you think about from time to time, and you wonder what might have happened to them? Why don’t you see/speak to that person anymore? HAHA YES ALL THE TIME. I don’t see or speak to this person because I broke it off with him to get back together with someone else like two years ago and it was super lame of me, and he is now very happy with a new partner and he deserves that happiness and she’s not my biggest fan so I just sort of try to fuck off and silently curse myself for making that mistake. 

On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you with your life? Why? 8. I’m just very grateful for what I have and what is coming up in my life.

What do you remember about your first kiss? I was on cloud NINE after it happened and I couldn’t stop smiling or thinking about him. It was at a skating rink. It was anticipated throughout the whole day and I couldn’t wait. The guy was a cutie pie. 

Have you ever said that you’d never do something, and then done it? Lots. Drugs, get a tattoo, get a piercing. Never hold me to any “I’d never do x” promise. 

Do you have romantic feelings for the last person you texted? I wish I had romantic feelings for Sydney but as she puts it we are tragically heterosexual. 

Have you ever thought about what you might call your children? Or, if you already have children, what are their names? Sometimes, yes. 

When did you last speak to one of your siblings? What did you talk about? I saw Scott last weekend for a bit. We had a drunken confessional conversation at like 3am in our kitchen until my Dad made us go to sleep. And then the next morning we just had lols until he and Rie went out for a hike. 

How many times have you had your heart broken? Just one. 

Where is the person you would most like to see, or most like to be with? At his house, probably sleeping. 

Think of the person you fell hardest for. How many people has he/she been in love with, besides you? I don’t know. I’d like to say nobody else but I don’t know if that’s true. 

Find 5 people on your Facebook friends list, whose name begins with K. Who are these people, and how did you meet them? Kerri M: I work with her at Famoso!  Kelly G: She is a friend of Ali’s who Ali and Geoff met when traveling in Peru. She came to visit Ali this summer for a bit and Ali introduced us because we went to Stampede together to see July Talk. She’s wild.  Khalid A: He is a friend of my ex’s.  Kelsey R: She is a former track teammate of mine from back in the day and also works at the place I now volunteer.  Kennedy R: She is my ex’s younger sister’s friend and used to a date a girl that I work with. 

Who did you last say “I love you” to? Did that person say it back? LOL. Sydney. And yes. She did. 

What do your last 5 Facebook messages say and who are they from? Oh god. My most recent is from Jess (my manager) because I forgot to put my tip outs in the appropriate bags tonight and was just fixing that up, and then it’s...  Girl’s group chat planning our upcoming getaway to Banff.  Work group chat switching shifts.  The friend of the dude I creepily added on Facebook after meeting him on the train trying to get in there and failing.  And Lauren sent me a lovely message on BellLetsTalk day!!!!! <3
