I dont know if you are taking requests but I just imagined joel miller having a bad day, that man is sore and cuddles😭😭😭 and cockwarming while he caresses your back and you caress his?? idk😭😭😭i saw the pedro photo with the glasses and omgggg Also how would you think pedro boys would react to trying cockwarming? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
No outbreak!Joel Miller x f!reader
A/N: omg baby, I love Joel, he needs to be cuddled and helped to relax, our poor handsome contractor 😍 love you too, so much 😻
Tumblr media
• Joel's work is hard and difficult, not only the physical aspect of it, although it is a lot because he carries heavy things, he does manual work and above all, he has to handle people: clients, suppliers, associates, employees, you name it, he's gotta handle it all
• so it's not only the physical part of working, but rather the emotional and mental sides too, and eventually, some days can be worse than others and when it just happens to be one of these days, Joel feels comforted to know he can just come home to you, because he knows he's got you, and you can count on each other for that
• it's no secret you always cook dinner for your handsome boyfriend, sometimes you make full meals for him, or sometimes you just bake him a chicken/meat pie or even those egg sandwiches that are to die for, whatever it is, he knows he can go home and count on that, but not only food can solve a tiring and stressful day, sometimes he's just dragging himself around and he needs his darlin' to make things right for him
• you are always willing to make him feel good, already knowing Joel from the moment he gets off his truck, you can tell if he's energetic or exhausted, if he's in a good or a bad mood and so on, so when you see him walking home looking almost defeated, his curls sticking to his oily forehead because of the heat, you know it's your time to act and make him feel good
• the first thing you do for your man is to hand him a refreshing bottle of water; yes he can drink a pop or a beer, but water first, it will make a difference and help him feel much better, then you can greet him, and usually as you snake your arms around his body, you can feel how damp his sweaty clothes are, he needs to relax and you are willing to help him
"come on, handsome, let's take a shower, you'll feel alright soon"
• you convince him, kissing his lips gently and nuzzling his neck, taking him by the hand and guiding him to the bathroom, helping Joel undress slowly, first his shirt is gone, then his heavy jeans, his socks and underwear and soon enough, you got your handsome boyfriend under the stream of shower, the way the water fall all over his head, wetting his curls and making him look like a kicked puppy caught in the rain
"you're so tired my love, let me take care of you"
• you whisper to him, knowing it doesn't have to become erotic just yet, you and Joel will have time for it later, but because you know he needs to relax, so you grab your shampoo and spread it all over his hair, you know how much he always compliments you and your smell, so why not treat him to your products? It will make him feel good and relaxed, and that, you enjoy it a lot
• once his hair is done, then it's time for soap and body scrub, Joel never really paid much attention to it, but he cannot deny it feels great, he's at your mercy, your hands caressing and making him feel all the time great
• and once you both step out of the shower, you and him decide to go to the couch, there's no trouble in having some lazy dinner once in a while just scattered around the couch and relaxing completely
• once Joel is done eating, you can finally go to his shoulders, giving him some rubs and massaging softly, you feel the tension knots under your finger tips and all you can do is to whisper to him again asking him to relax and remember the next day will be a new and better day
• and then you both start making out a little, it just feels so good and natural as you kiss, the way you run your hands over each other's body and make each other feel much better, it can end up in sex or not, but it doesn't really matter, you love each other deeply and that's enough for the two of you, because you're there when he needs you and Joel is there when you need him ❤️

Hitman 141 would be TERRIFYING, an entity that ppl only whisper about-ESPECIALLY at the mention of Price, or someone being told to stfu if they do dare to utter his name, ppl keeping their heads down everytime 141 enters a room like they're THAT GOOD
Tumblr media
Hitman 141 Headcanons
(Call of Duty Masterlist)
Rating: M Wordcount: 800 Tags: Hitman AU / Mercenary AU, Dark 141 Warnings: Brief descriptions of violence and torture A/N: Thank you for the brainworm anon
Tumblr media
They don’t go by any name. There’s no title for their unit. 
The living know better than to speak of them
They’re known in the underground only as ‘The Four’
Black paint smears across their gazes, like the hand of the grim reaper has dipped its skeletal fingers in charcoal and tried to blind them
Their eyes gaze forward even so, looking for their next target, their next kill
It’s rare to see any of them, and even rarer to see them all together. When they enter into the secretive enclaves and dens of the world’s finest assassins, a hush falls over the crowd, and you see them grin- knowing that their mere presence invokes fear
They know how to kill men a thousand different ways, they say
There’s no target that’s too large for them
They can disable a government overnight, can sweep in under the cover of darkness and eliminate an entire cabinet in one fell swoop
And yet the depths of their deeds remain entirely unknown, with a finger pressed to lips of their victims before they grow cold
Nobody knows their real names. Those that have tried have failed- and the dead hold their secrets
They do go by names that only the damned dare to whisper
Gaz, their intelligence specialist who leaves no loose ends, who draws secrets from the graves of those who gasp words with their dying breaths
He knows, they whisper, knowing that he has ears everywhere. That even the shadows come to murmur in his ear. His sniper scope finds his targets, and he reads their lips before he fires a killing shot
When he talks to others, his smile is easy, that of a friend. Yet there’s a flicker in his eyes that speaks of a second sight, an ability to bleed words from your mouth before you can stop yourself
“Thanks, mate.” He tells you with a clap to your shoulder, and you watch in dread as he depart, and wonder what have I done?
Soap, their supplier, their demolitions expert, the man who leaves behind only a trail of ash that can’t be traced
He’s the friendliest of them, with his easy going smile and blue eyes. Yet there lurks a darkness in his gaze, a challenge, and you know if you get too close you’ll be incinerated by the flames
He’s rumored to have killed the president of a foreign country- the man dying in a tragic house fire with no discernible cause. They say it was a catastrophe that couldn’t have been stopped
Of course not, not when he created it. He smiled as he watched it burn
Ghost, the assassin, the reaper they say
He fought death, and won, but in his victory his soul is forever held by the grave. 
There’s a hundred different stories about his survival. He was lost in the wilderness and killed a bear to steal its pelt. His feet were poured into concrete and he broke his hands cracking himself free. He dug himself from the grave and took the scythe from the reaper to kill his enemies himself
His figure will be the last thing you ever see. There’s not even time to scream
Red drenches his bone white mask, and behind them stare the eyes of a dead man
Then there’s their leader- Price.
Price, they say, for a price must be given for the lives of those who’ve been killed. It’s a steep cost to deal with him and his men, and even steeper to refuse them
Smoke follows him in a mist, chokes the airways of his victims. There’s a brutality to him that’s untold, hardly restrained, witnessed by few who survive only to see him in their nightmares
The others yield to him, defer to his guidance. There’s rumors he’s immortal, has lived many lives but is cursed to roam the earth like Cain, having slain his own blood and now lives in eternal damnation
He tips his hat to the man he leaves hanging upside down from the rafters, leaving him to a slow and painful death even as he begs for mercy
What they don’t know is that his chosen targets are those that lurk in the dark, festering underbelly of the world- whose crimes damn them before they’re even revealed. The violent, the corrupt, the selfish, the takers of the innocent. None live beyond the sight of one of the four- a vision just before the end
They say they were soldiers once, defenders, warriors
Yet the world betrayed them, set their lives ablaze. In the ashes they were reborn, bent on the destruction of those who wronged them
By bathing in the blood of their enemies, they signed their souls for the devil to keep, bestowing upon them an inhumane darkness they wield at their fingertips
And some day, the devil will come to keep them

au where Soap is Makarov's son and working for him, and Ghost gets conflicted BECAUSE HE SHOULD NOT BE ATTRACTED TO HIS ENEMY DAMMIT
it leads to a whole crisis lmao, all the while Price is just like "Simon just go kiss him-"
also Soap being a flirty little shit whenever he captures Ghost/Ghost captures him WHICH DOES NOT HELP WITH GHOST'S CRISIS DAMMIT
BUT ALSO Nikprice meeting in the exact same way
Price and Simon having drink nights where all they do is bitch about how hot the enemy is
Nik and Soap have similar drink nights, but its gushing about their respective Brit and it's kept entirely secret from Makarov.
He has no fucking idea his most trusted weapon supplier and son are planning on betraying him for that sweet sweet Brit ass.

How Boeing's doing
If anyone has sort of lost the oversight of the soap opera of a scandal is going with the whole Boeing thing:
Jan 5th: Alaska Airlines flightusing a boeing 737 max 9 loses a door, turns out to have literally screws missing leading to the failure of the door plug
Boeing is logically being sued/audited over safety concerns and "can't locate any documents about the opening and closing of the door plug" on march 8th
March 9th: A whistleblower involved in the process since 2017, John Barnett, is found dead in his car "from a self-inflicted gunshot wound" after being asked by Boeing's lawyers to stay on site for the ongoing trial one more night instead of going home to his family, and despite making it clear to his family beforehand that he had no plans of ending his life and was actually looking forward to making it into court.
April 30th, a second whistleblower has died, this time Joshua Dean who used to work as a quality auditor at a Boeing supplier. In only two weeks time he went from completely healthy to hospitalized from a whole Bunch of viruses including influenza B, MRSA (which is resistant against basic antibiotics), and pneumonia, to a degree that basically stunned his doctors with how much his lungs were filled.
Both whisteblowers were being represented by the same lawyer, Brian Knowles
Ironically, less than a day later on may 1st, the emergency slide that a delta flight lost last friday got washed up in the backyard of one of the lawyers suing Boeing in a coincidence that nearly feels like a targeted threat

What if not dead Soap, not traitor Soap, not taken-by-Makarov-and-brainwashed Soap, but a secret fourth thing: Soap who wakes up alone in the tunnel and thinks he was abandoned by his team. Add in a little memory loss for spice, shake him up and let him go.
Price, Gaz, and Ghost who couldn't stay until the cleanup/retrieval teams arrived. Who had to leave Soap's body behind and try to catch up with Makarov before his trail goes cold. Soap who wakes up alone, covered in blood but more concerned with where his team has gone. How could they leave him behind? He trusted them, thought they would never betray him... but he's here and they aren't.
Soap who knows the faces of the 141 but not their names or why it hurts to think about them. And their faces and that hurt are all tangled up in the sharp feeling of betrayal (how could they leave him?) and so he thinks they're enemies.
But also Soap who still has an instinctive, visceral hatred for Makarov and his men, so he makes himself a third variable in the fight. He pulls on a balaclava and a skull mask (the skull is important - drenched in a feeling of bittersweet love - but white is a colour not for him so he'll choose red like the blood he woke up in, lost and alone) and becomes a threat to both sides.
Meanwhile, the 141 is reeling from Soap's loss but needs to replace manpower, so they pick up some new people and... it's hard. Ghost and Gaz do not take easy to them. Even Price finds it hard to give the new guys the same leeway he did to Soap. They're all a little colder without their Sunshine. Eventually they run across Soap in the field, however.
Maybe it's just Price and Gaz at first; Ghost retreating into solo missions as he spirals towards self-destruction. They have a lead on one of Makarov's suppliers but when they reach the compound they're meant to infiltrate, they find someone's beaten them to it. Gaz is the one to spot him; alerting his captain to the red-masked figure who's cornered their target and is in the process of making him regret working with Makarov.
They'll never know what gave their positions away, but Gaz will swear down later that the shot that nicked a tree three inches to the left of his head was not a miss. That the man in the red skull had him dead in sights and, at the last second, his hand twitched to send the bullet wide. They get their target - a little worse for wear after enduring the attentions of the mysterious stranger - but they both know it's not the last they've seen of him.
Price sees him next but instead of anyone familiar he's got one of the newbies at his back and this time there's no deliberate miss. Maybe it isn't fatal but the poor soldier standing in a place not meant for them will likely never fight again. Price takes it for the kind of warning it is and refuses to allow any of the other FNGs on any mission where they might encounter the red masked man.
Ghost is the last to meet him, at least up close. Maybe he's only seen the man in passing, neither of them really paying attention to each other except that they're staying out of each other's way. He's heard enough from Price and Gaz to consider the other skull wearer as more of an inconvenient and unpredictable ally than any sort of threat, though. It's been proven more than once that, where both the 141 and Makarov's men are present, the stranger will target Makarov every time. (And if Ghost is apathetic enough by this time to not particularly care if he doesn't fall under the same strange pseudo-protection that Gaz and Price do, well... no one will call him out for it.)
But when Ghost finally meets the man with the red skull up close, he knows. He knows those hands, that posture. He knows the way Soap moves and he especially knows the eyes that peer out from behind that bloody mask. But he can't do anything about it in the moment. This is it, the final push, the last hole the rat Makarov has hidden in. Ghost has to keep his head in the game and hope that when it's over he won't have to mourn Johnny twice.

Not Alive, Nor Dead
[PREV PART] [AO3]
Really enjoyed writing this one! I like adding lines from the game in different contexts...
Ghost enters the shipment container, taking note of Valeria sitting in the middle, surrounded by the soldiers, and restrained by Graves.
Alejandro is pacing in front of her, her eyes following the motion with obvious amusement.
“Alright”, Graves points at the two of them, “how do you two know each other?”.
Alejandro scoffs, “know is a strong word”.
“Ah, strong words are important” Valeria grins, “our word is our worth, right?”
The Vaquero stops his pacing to sharply turn to the woman and start cursing her out in Spanish. Rudy and Soap rush to restrain him.
Price steps forward, “I suggest you start cooperating, El Sin Nombre. Unless you want me digging through your brain,” the Captain towers over her, “and I promise you, it won’t be pleasant.”
An expression of uncertainty passes through Valeria’s features, but she returns to her usual arrogant smile fast enough, “whatever you’re looking for, you won’t find it here” she nods her head, “I don’t know where any of your precious soldiers are. I’m a courier, I move things.”
“Yeah, and those things just happen to be humans, aren’t they” Graves grabs her shoulder. 
Valeria shakes it off, “I don’t peek inside, that would be unprofessional.”
Alejandro seethes, “and you’re just a model image of professionalism, aren’t you?!”
“Shit Alejandro, will you pull your head out of your ass for one second?!” She screams in Spanish at him.
The Vaquero commander huffs and warns them, “don’t trust her. It won’t end well.” He storms out, Rudy not long after following him calling his name.
“Enough!” Price speaks out. “Who are you delivering your packages to?” He stares at Valeria, tilting his head down.
“I don’t take orders from anyone.” she simply states, “even the dogs at Las Almas know not to-”
“Anonymous PMC.” Price’s eyes move rapidly, as he looks through her memories, “they took down your last clients and filled the power vacuum.” 
Valeria mutters, stunned and still, “how…”
“The ones from Sweden?” Gaz quips up.
Price looks away, having gotten what he was after, “I’ll have to go through your reports again, but it’s very likely.”
Valeria shakes from her stupor, and starts laughing in a chilling way, “you’re one interesting revenant, cabron.” she lowers her head, “but you're still no closer to finding them. I was supposed to exchange two revenants today, before your little soldiers interrupted me.”
The Captain frowns, and gazes at her once more. Valeria winces a little, smirking, “I don’t know where they moved them.” She looks at him with mock-innocence.
“Fuckin’ hell…”
“If there was a deal just yesterday, it means the PMC is still somewhere here…” Johnny grunts.
Graves shakes his head, “eh, they must’ve spread out after the failed attempt at the party. They could get revenants from a different… supplier.” He closes in on El Sin Nombre, “perhaps you can give us a name?”
Valeria regards the American with a sneer, “you tell me, ‘Shadow Company’. Surely you know of your other PMC amigos?”
Ghost has been watching the entire conversation from the shadows, slowly getting more and more impatient. What caught his eye however, is the small hesitation in Graves’ moves when Valeria mentioned Shadow Company, almost like he expected her to say something else…
Maybe Graves’ hands aren’t as clean as he would like them to believe. He says so to the Captain, and Price answers, “I don’t see anything suspicious in his mind.”
Ghost knows he’s sometimes a little too paranoid, not that his life so far proved it too unfounded, but he trusts the Captain enough to let it slide for now. After all, Ghost isn’t exactly an expert at reading people.
He focuses back when Price addresses him, “Ghost, talk to the Vaqueros, see if they’ve surveyed any suspicious activity around the party, take the Sergeants and-”
“La Fantasma, Parca de Roba? I wasn’t sure if it’s really you.” Valeria looked like a shark sensing blood in the water.
He doesn’t grace her with an answer, a snake pit slithering in his stomach. Soap turns to look at him inquisitively.
Valeria chuckles darkly, “what you did to Roba… it’s the stuff of nightmares. Did you really wipe out the entire gang in less than a hou-”
“You keep running your mouth, I’ll give you a demonstration.” He growls.
She falters, before answering with a forced smile, “I look forward to it.”
As they leave, Ghost catches Graves taking Soap to the side to speak to him privately. He would snatch the American’s hand away from Johnny’s shoulder, but the Scot doesn’t look uncomfortable. On the contrary, he’s listening intently to what the Shadow commander is spewing at him.
He waits until they finish, Soap noticing him finally and jogging up to him. “Waiting for me, LT?” he smiles up at him, something dimmer about his usual attitude.
“What were you two chatting about?” he starts walking towards Alejandro’s office, knowing Gaz is probably already there.
The Sergeant tenses, but keeps moving beside him, “nothin’ interesting. Why, wanna hear some gossip?”
Ghost grunts, and walks ahead, leaving the Sergeant struggling to match his long strides.
He may not be good at reading people, but even he knows when he’s being lied to. Unfortunately, they have a job to do, his doubts will have to be resurfaced at another point.
Turns out the Vaqueros have spotted something, during those precious minutes right after Soap created his distraction. Unmarked vehicles, driving off south. They have several possible locations, but until the Vaqueros narrow them down, they’re free to take a moment to rest.
As the Sergeants and himself leave Alejandro’s office, Ghost calls for Soap, and nods to the gym. His Sergeant’s face lights up, his fingertips literally, and he leads the way to the sparring mats.
They both take off their shoes and stand in front of the other, stance lowered and combat ready, “we fight until one taps out.” Ghost grunts. Soap gives him a sharp nod and they’re off.
His Sergeant instantly rushes forward, using his smaller frame to his advantage by trying to duck under Ghost. He expected so, and takes hold of the Scot’s shoulders, pushing both of them down.
They wrestle for a moment, Ghost clearly having the upper hand, Johnny fighting on the defence. Ghost eventually gets hold of the slippery man, and pins him on with his chest down, “you’re distracted, Johnny…”.
“Thinkin’ about what Valeria said to you back there”, Soap growls, pushing Ghost off.
His Sergeant shakes his arms, the fire burning him spreading, “again.”
Ghost feigns a right hook, and grabs Soap’s left arm. The Sergeant uses the grip to shove Ghost down, attempting to pin him, but Ghost can tell he’s not focused, when he manages to wrap his legs around his torso, flip them, and pin him again.
“Been doin’ some thinking myself.” Ghost ponders out loud, “wondering what Graves could’ve said to make you look so…” he murmurs in Johnny’s ear, “intrigued”
Soap is breathing heavily under him, eyes darting around for an exit, “I told ye-”
“I think I’ll be quite interested” Ghost squints, the motion not unnoticed by Soap.
His Sergeant sighs, “he was… offerin’ me a spot on Shadow Company.”
Ghost tightens his grips on Soap’s wrists, “and you refused.” he states. “You fuckin’ refused, right, Johnny?”
“I told him…” the flames on his hands die down, “told him I’ll consider it.”
The sentence feels like a knife shoved down Ghost’s throat, almost like a betrayal, another of his old friends.
Ghost loosens the hold, and Soap immediately breaks free, stepping a meter away from him. “After this mission, I think I should… leave.”
“Why?” What changed? Why does Soap want to get away, and with fuckin’ Graves out of all people?
Soap’s brows turn upwards, his face almost desperate. “I won’t be responsible for your death. I can’t-”
“Do you trust me, Sergeant?”
Johnny is silent for a moment, “yes sir”, he almost whispers.
“You think I’m weak?”
“No!”
“Than you should already know, I’ll not go down easily.” He walks up to Soap, “you wanted to know what Valeria was talking about?”
His blue eyes fill with color, the previous dullness to them fades, “yes sir.”
Ghost looks around, seeing the gym empty and lifeless. The snakes in his heart squeeze, bite and spread their icy venom through his body. His tone is lifeless, belonging more to the man buried under six feet of the Mexican desert sand.
“Roba was a cartel gang leader, they captured my squad. Tortured us for weeks, tried to break me, brainwash me, make me submit.” 
Soap’s hands clenched into fists.
“They failed. Got tired of me. Disposed of me.” he breathes in dirt and rotten flesh, “They killed me. I came back, stronger. Powerful.”
He remembers the shock, the horror as they saw him, a dead man, walk into their base. His eyes flutter shut. He wants to laugh. He wants to cry.
“She was wrong. I didn’t kill them in an hour.”
Nothing exists anymore, just sharp memories and a throbbing phantom pain, “it took less than a minute. Hundred men gone in an instant.”
Something brushes his arm, warm and calming, so unlike his memories.
“I was mistaken. You couldn’t have known what I am before, Soap.” He opens his eyes, and the sight of Johnny’s devastated face would hurt him, if he could feel anything. “You understand now. My purpose is to take revenge on people that hurt me. I am designed to survive the worst this world has to offer.”
Soap now grasps at his arm, the feeling barely registered under the cold blanket constraining him, “Ghost I’m… I’m sorry.”
“No. Don’t need apologies.” Ghost blinks, tries to focus on his eyes, “just don’t run away.”
Johnny holds onto him tightly, “I won’t.”
He leaves the gym in a daze, distantly hears Soap trailing behind him, uncertain footsteps echoing after his own. The sun has long set, the stars shining high in the night sky.
After he died, he found himself enjoying the twinkling lights. They were the first thing he saw after being reborn, the heralds of his new existence. 
He pulls out a cigarette, rolls the mask up a little. Settles against a wall, about to take out a lighter when Soap stops him, gently lifting a finger. Ghost lights the end of the cigarette on the flickering flame.
He breathes in deep, finally tasting something other than sand on his tongue, Johnny speaking for the first time since they left the gym.
“Thought your Reapin’ was classified.” he huffs.
Ghost rolls the smoke on his tongue before exhaling, “I reckon my favorite color is classified at this point.”
Soap looks up, “what is it?”
“Don’t have one.”
“Figured it was black.”
Ghost raises an eyebrow, “black isn’t a color, Johnny. Dropped outta infant school?”
His Sergeant chuckles, “a’right, dark grey then?”
He pretends to think on it, “yellow.”
“Yer bum’s oot teh window!” Soap laughs.
Ghost blinks confusingly, “English, MacTavish”
“That was English!”
Ghost grumbles, “You said my arse is out a window, Sergeant?”
Johnny doubles over laughing, the sound warm in Ghost’s chest, “aye sir, yer moonin’ the whole base.”
“Giving them a good view” he takes a drag of smoke to hide his small smile.
Soap straightens, giving him that mischievous grin he often wears, “think I know a better one.”
Ghost glances at him, “and what would that be?”
Johnny crowds him against the wall, “yer face, LT. Must be bonnie under that mask of yers, would bet good money on it.”
Warmth thrums through his chest, almost overwhelming. Still, Ghost can’t help leaning into it, like a moth to a flame, uncaring that the fire would bring his demise.
“Maybe I wear the mask ‘cause I’m ugly.” Ghost breathes. The burning smell that always lingers on Soap fills his lungs, and he wishes it would make a home there.
Johnny looks him up and down, smile growing. He stares at Ghost’s eyes, purring, “Ah doubt it.”
Gaz pops most of his body out of a window above them, making them both jump away from each other, “the fuck are you doin’ down there?! Shit, were you snogging? I’ll come back later-”
“We weren’t fuckin’ snoggin’ Gaz!” Soap shouts, flush covering his cheeks. Ghost is still lagging behind, waiting for his brain to come back online. Whatever happened a second ago, it felt like he was in a dream, the world outside melting away, leaving only Ghost and Soap.
Curious how dreams and nightmares are so similar.
“Need something, Garrick?” he finally looks away from Johnny at the floating Sergeant.
“Rudy is making tea! Haven’t had a good cuppa in ages, you coming?”
Soap sighs disappointingly, “fuckin’ Brits.”
“On my way Gaz, don’t you dare take mine.” he stomps on his cigarette and rolls his mask back down.
Despite his grumblings, Soap follows him to the kitchen, taking a mug of tea himself. 
He spat out the liquid after one sip.
Originally I wanted them to fight for like 2 chapters, but they decided they just don't want to and flirt instead

Some more additions to my pop cross soap opera au these being ones that are mostly dealing with characters I didn't mention much of in the previous two posts
The first a decision that I came to with the help of @l3m0ngal5 is that in this au Kayla works for Benny at his shop technically she's his assistant and while she will occasionally help him work on the cars her main job is doing the books and handling the actual proper business side of things while Benny focuses on the part of the job he enjoys working on cars and interacting with customers here Charlie is just an AI assistant on her phone if you're wondering how she got this job she came into town one day looking for a new start after things back home fell apart and her car broke down Benny fixed up her car got her a hotel room to stay at and offered her a new job to help her out and because this was before he took in Mara let her stay with him for a few days until she was able to get her own apartment
The second is The Sci-Five act as the staff of champagnes clinic swipe being his receptionist and sound strike acting as a nurse maybe calamity helps with the heavy lifting around the place and ziff does the books and is the clinic's entire IP department jump kick drives to pick up supplies from suppliers in the next town over to avoid delivery fees champagne obviously pays all five of them well
The third and final edition for this set of additions is that the astral apartments building is owned by this universe's version of Astra who for simplicity's sake in this universe is called Alice astral instead she keeps her rent prices cheap and affordable especially for her friends which are the majority of her tenants
A suggestion by @therummonster that I actually really like is that the town's name is Rivers crossing

Soap making sounds very interesting. How did you get into that, if you don't mind me asking?
Well! I have a creative streak and a passion for chemistry, so it seemed like a natural fit. I taught myself with books and videos, really. I experimented with melt & pour soap for a bit before diving into cold process. It’s not as difficult as it seems! I bought some premixed oil and a jar of lye from a soap making supplier and went to town. It’s a fun hobby, and I find the soap is kinder to my sensitive skin than common body washes and bar soaps.
I should post some of my soaps! Some of them are pretty fancy looking.

༘˚⋆𐙚。⋆𖦹.✧˚"Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics”༘˚⋆𐙚。⋆𖦹.✧˚
Hi beautes! 👋🏻 🎀. I want to share one of my opinions and research from what I found that Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics” are really important. Skin irritation and allergic responses are less common with natural and oleochemical substances. Sustainable products are made from naturally occurring substances that humans have been utilizing for centuries: plants and animals. These ingredients have therapeutic qualities and are free of synthetic, poisonous chemicals and artificial colors. Take glycerine, an organic byproduct of palm oil. Cosmetics, medications, and soaps all employ the clear, non-toxic liquid. Glycerine retains moisture well since it is a humectant, which makes it a great moisturizer. By enhancing the body's hygroscopic properties, glycerine helps the skin to absorb and retain water. It can be put anywhere on the body because it doesn't cause irritation. It works well as an anti-aging component.
Because The average Asian or American is thought to use 100 kilos of plastic every year, with over half of the plastic generated going toward single-use disposable products. Typical suppliers of environmentally friendly cosmetics include: Natural oils, including avocado, coconut, and olive oils. Plants used in agriculture, such soybeans and corn. Environmentally friendly formulas are the foundation of eco-friendly cosmetics, which are then produced and packaged using eco-friendly procedures. Ingredients that are made from natural substances are used in the creation of these "green," sustainable cosmetics. Eco-friendly beauty products can be an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin since, in addition to being good for the environment, they are typically made of natural and organic ingredients.
Additionally, harsh chemicals are likely to be absent from eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers your chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Harsh chemicals are also probably not included in eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers our chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Consumers nowadays are more concerned with social and environmental responsibilities and have a developing global consciousness. The softer environmental impact of sustainable products is one of their key advantages. There are new reports every week about massive garbage floating in the water or risky carbon outputs. Conventional cosmetics include several dangerous substances called petrochemicals that harm both our bodies and the environment. Customers seek organic, low-polluting items as we grow more conscious of the environment. How are we gonna make the world change? so here’s the tip that you should know:
1. Recognizing Ecological Natural beauty
The following are a few of the most well-known, eco-friendly, sustainable cosmetic brands and their offerings: Native:
-Native uses natural, organic components to make its deodorants. Native's brand is based on "easy-to-understand, nontoxic ingredients." Herbs like castor bean oil, coconut oil, and shea butter are generated from oleochemicals.
-Burt's Bees: From modest beeswax candles to a massive empire of lip products, Burt's Bees has emerged as a global pioneer in sustainability. The company uses natural and organic components in its cosmetics and personal care products, and it follows a "no-waste" manufacturing philosophy. They use beeswax, herbs, and botanical oils to create their well-known goods.
- Blissoma: Specializing in skincare, Blissoma provides a vast selection of green skincare products divided by skin type and need. Their preservative-free cosmetics use natural components such as fruit enzymes, Vitamin C, organic herbs, and cereals.
The job Manufacturers of cosmetics have a rare chance to emphasize corporate responsibility by focusing on green cosmetics. Going above and beyond with sustainable sourcing or packaging can have a big influence, in addition to the good effects green marketing can have on a company's image. A business assumes responsibility for its effects on economies and world health when it ramps up its sustainability initiatives. A company can earn authority and respect from suppliers, customers, and other distribution chain participants by assuming corporate responsibility for its manufacturing.
2. The Effect of Modern Beauty Products on the Environment
The Intensity of Resources and Waste Production: - Sourcing of Ingredients: Resource-intensive procedures are a major part of the manufacturing of traditional cosmetics. One such component that contributes to habitat loss and deforestation is palm oil, which is widely used in cosmetics.Packaging Waste: Take into consideration the chic plastic cases that hold your go-to lipstick or moisturizer. A major contributing factor to the worldwide plastic pollution problem is that these containers frequently wind up in landfills or the ocean.
Toxic ingredients included in many traditional cosmetic products, including parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, contribute to chemical pollution and water contamination. In addition to endangering human health, these pollutants contaminate rivers. Ecosystems that are aquatic are impacted by the chemicals we rinse out of our hair or wash off our makeup, which ends up in rivers and oceans. - Tiny plastics: Small plastic particles called microplastics are present in toothpaste, exfoliating scrubs, and some shampoos. These particles are non-biodegradable. Microplastics can harm marine life and possibly make their way into our food chain when they amass in water bodies. Part 3: Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change - Distribution and Transportation: Cosmetics are produced all over the world and distributed extensively. Storage of some goods (such serums) in a refrigerator also adds to the energy usage.
For example: Parabens. - Toxic Substance: Preservatives including methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are frequently found in skincare and makeup products. On the other hand, they may increase the risk of breast cancer and cause hormone imbalance. - Alternative: Look for natural preservatives like vitamin E, rosemary oil, or grapefruit seed extract, or choose items that are labeled "paraben-free".
3. Producing Your Own Eco-Friendly Items
Do-it-yourself Beauty Recipes: - For a calming and purifying effect, mix oatmeal, honey, and chamomile tea to make a mild face cleanser. For a luscious and nourishing treat, combine shea and cocoa butter with your preferred essential oils to create a moisturizing body butter. Shake some lemon or orange peels into some apple cider vinegar to create a revitalizing and pleasant citrus hair rinse. Sustainable Packaging Options: To cut down on plastic waste, put your homemade beauty products in reusable glass jars or metal tins. Take into consideration giving empty containers from completed commercial cosmetic items a new lease on life.
Be healthy always, love 🎀🪞🩰🦢🕯️

A little bit more of the Bakery AU
(Thanks @pragmatic-optimist!)
-
“Hey, Owen, is TK around?”
“Carlos! How do you feel about goat cheese?”
“Ummm…”
Owen beckons Carlos into his office by waving both hands, and Carlos gives him a tight-lipped smile as he steps in from the hall.
He likes Owen. He genuinely respects him as both his boyfriend's father and the primary supplier of his produce for the bakery. He even likes spending time with him on the rare occasion that Carlos comes out to the farm to see TK, and Owen happens to be there, too.
Right now, though, he just wants to find TK because he hasn’t talked to him in person for nearly a week, and he misses him.
“I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a few goats. TK is adamantly against it. He says they’re hard to care for, expensive, and apparently, little escape artists. I admit that might all be true, but he’s not seeing that the investment into them would pay off in the end. We could make lotion and soaps and–.”
“Cheese,” Carlos interrupts, and Owen grins.

Crystal Yellow Granite Price: How Much Should You Expect to Pay?
Crystal Yellow Granite is a beautiful and durable natural stone that is commonly used for countertops, flooring, and wall cladding. It has a warm, golden-yellow color with black, brown, and gray speckles, making it a popular choice for both traditional and modern interior design styles. However, if you are considering using Crystal Yellow Granite in your home, you may be wondering about the price. In this article, we will discuss the factors that affect Crystal Yellow Granite price and what you should expect to pay for this stunning natural stone.
Quality Marble Exports is a leading supplier of marble. We deal in manufacturing and supply of granite, exotic stone, sandstone, slate, and stone handicrafts.
The price of Crystal Yellow Granite varies depending on several factors. One of the most significant factors is the quality of the stone. Higher quality Crystal Yellow Granite will have a more uniform color and fewer imperfections such as pits or cracks. As a result, it will be more expensive than lower quality stones. The size of the slab is also an important factor. Larger slabs are generally more expensive than smaller ones, as they require more effort to quarry and transport.
On average, the price of Crystal Yellow Granite ranges from $60 to $80 per square foot. This includes the cost of the material, fabrication, and installation. However, the final price will depend on several factors such as the size of your project, the complexity of the installation, and your location. Prices may be higher in metropolitan areas where the cost of living is higher.
When it comes to purchasing Crystal Yellow Granite, it is important to work with a reputable supplier who can provide high-quality stone and expert installation services. You should view several slabs before making a decision, as each slab is unique and may have variations in color and pattern. Additionally, you should work with a professional installer who has experience working with granite to ensure that the installation is done correctly and will last for many years.
In terms of care and maintenance, Crystal Yellow Granite is relatively easy to care for. It should be sealed regularly to protect it from stains and moisture, but other than that, it requires little maintenance. It is important to avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners, which can damage the surface of the granite. Instead, use a mild soap and water solution or a cleaner specifically designed for use on natural stone.
In conclusion, Crystal Yellow Granite is a beautiful and durable natural stone that adds warmth and elegance to any space. While the price of Crystal Yellow Granite can vary depending on several factors, it is generally in the mid to high range for granite. However, the investment is well worth it, as Crystal Yellow Granite adds value and beauty to your home for many years to come.

Plumbing Tips You Need To Hear Today
A problem with your plumbing can happen anytime. If it does, you need to know what to do about it. It is possible for you to take care of many of these problems on your own. Here are some helpful tips to teach you how to handle plumbing problems yourself. Find a plumber that you can trust. Make sure to get referrals from friends and family so that you can prevent getting ripped off, which happens often. Also make sure not to pay the plumber before the work is completed. If you do that, there will not be an incentive to get the job completed in a timely manner. Keep your bathtub drain running well by pouring a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain each month. Afterward, place a washcloth or towel over the top of the drain, to keep the chemical reactions contained. Let that sit for a while, and then run boiling hot water down it. This process should open up the pipes by clearing out hair build-up and soap scum. Frozen pipes can lead to many problems, most of them expensive to fix. So you want to avoid that at all costs. To avoid frozen pipes, make sure the temperature in your home never drops below 55 degrees. Look for any air leaks around your pipes and make sure they're sealed up. If you have a lot of hair in your shower drain, be sure to get a stopper and put it in the drain. This will catch the hair from going down the drain, which can clog it. Just make sure that you remove hair that is already in the drain before using the stopper. Sometimes kitchen sinks can be clogged up due to a slow accumulation of solidified grease. One quick fix for this is to try pouring very hot grease down the sink, which will liquefy the grease clogging the drain and carry it down. Water won't work, because grease will not dissolve in water. To get drain unblockers auckland from a plumber, shop around and keep notes. When you get a price quote from the first plumber you call, you can subtly mention that price to the second and see if they will beat it. If you keep doing this down a list, you can drive down the price considerably. Teach kids how to shut off the toilet's water supply. Kids are notorious for putting large wads of toilet paper and other things into the toilet, which inevitably leads to the toilet overflowing. Especially if your bathroom has carpet, show kids how to turn the water valve off if the toilet water keeps rising, to prevent the mess of an overflow. If you have a crack in your toilet tank, you can sometimes fix this with an epoxy resin. However, it is very difficult to keep up with this type of maintenance, and the best bet may be contacting the supplier and ordering a new tank to be installed in your bathroom. Nevertheless, keeping some epoxy resin on hand for emergencies is a good idea. Beware of black water in your toilet tank. Chances are, the color is caused from too much magnesium or iron in your water. Although this is usually harmless, it can be annoying for some people. If it is iron or magnesium in your water, the only way to fix it is by filtering the water. The water heater in your home needs to have regular flushing to its plumbing in order to work properly. There is usually a valve at the bottom of the water heater that a hose can be attached to. Connect a hose to this valve and open it up all the way to flush scale and deposits out of the system. Check the plumbing in your home. If your home has the flexible gray polybutylene water pipes, you need to have a plumber come out and assess their condition. These types of pipe are prone to failure and can lead to very costly repairs if they have a failure within your home. When you have a plumbing problem that comes up in your home, you do not necessarily have to pay a plumber a lot of money to come out and fix it for you. The helpful points you learned in this article will enable you to care for basic plumbing maintenance and repairs around your home yourself.
