Last night Sheila and I went to a Minneapolis brewery to play Crokinole with other people. It wasn't a tournament. We just rotated around different tables to compete with various players in the loosely organized event.
When we first arrived a guy was already there getting set up. He had a really nice board. He examined our folding board and seemed to have doubts. People often ask if the center-line seam affects play. It does not.
He noted our bumper pegs were wood and lacked the rubber or silicon cover that the pegs on his board had. "Not as bouncy," he explained. I quietly wondered if we had purchased a deficient board. As more people arrived I saw at least half the boards had the wood pegs like ours. Whew!
That guy was super nice though. Before the games began he took time to practice with me and offered helpful advice that I welcomed.
He asked how often I waxed our board's surface. "Never, I mean not yet," I replied. He got out micro fiber towels and car wax spray and went to work on our board. I liked the results. The appearance didn't change, but the wood discs slid much better. I think I had better control over them after that. He also explained how to use shuffleboard wax/sawdust. One variety I saw was from France. I'm not sure it's legal in all 50 US states. Sheila said another one looked like popcorn salt. Thank goodness the brewery didn't offer popcorn, because she might have gotten sick!
Sheila and I were the oldest people there. Several of the players were younger than our two sons. I still enjoyed talking with them. It amused me that instead of talking about spouses and houses, as I might with my peers, I heard about boyfriends/girlfriends/roommates and apartments.
It was a fun evening.

Cheshire... Deer?
OK so this is chapter 4 to my Hazbin hotel and Helluva boss reader insert novel. A note to remember is that for the first few chapters are before either of the shows begin.
Tumblr media
Now you're dripping again, what was this? Two days in a row and this is definitely going to mess with how your body is feeling. Wrapping red silk after getting out of the bath definitely gave a strong look of elegance. Respect and honor in whatever someone does is something so incredible. Even holding elegance in times of chaos. 
Was so enticing.
Though what lilith said when you had returned home is something that has been such a nagging feeling in your heart. 
“No one keeps you here. At least I know I don't want you here” 
It doesn't seem fair, her testimony never made any means of sense. Her and Lucifer were not good parents but it never changed the way that Charlie and you loved them. If they both truly didn't care then why keep them around. 
But she is right. There is nothing holding you back. Life in the castle isn't bad at all in any sense, sure there were moments like last night however in general there was never a chance to see her parents enough for you to care. Being just below a couple centuries old, there was never a reason to dote on the bad.
Or maybe it is deflecting, It would be beneficial for you to forget about it all and just stay in bed. Waking up everyday and reliving all that great castle in the ring of pride can offer. 
Is it really all that great? It's gotten repetitive. Nobels lifestyle gives a strong urge to reject all morals and throw all the divine art out the windows. 
-
“They are such a drag, what pitiful excuse of a demon” someone had just sniffed that out. 
You had no business being in the working class quarters. Most of this area was full of imps and certain hellhounds that resided in the basement. 
“Shhh! They literally own us. If anyones hears you talking then who knows what they are going to do with us.” a smaller timid voice speaks out. 
“Whatever! You know none of them ever come down here, ESPECIALLY the owners of this place.” Well if that isn't the most ironic thing. “All I'm saying is that the royal family really made a mistake with the youngest of the castle.”
Damn well if that isn't a humbling thing. It's not that you were useless but you never had any real duties to do. Looking further through the creak of the door you can see two imps in a circle plating cards. One looked like an older guy with a uniform in less than ideal condition. The one beside him looked like a meek little boy. He was awfully cute. You can only wonder what he's doing as a servant here. Maybe it was time to try to implement some labor laws. It was so shameful to look at. 
“They are in over their head, a true skank of the castle. Did you know that I heard that she has slept around at the goetias party?!?!” This imp was starting to get on your nerves. Speaking like that to a kid is such a disgusting sight.
“But I was just told they just were wandering around the halls that are there” Oh such innocence with this child.
“Yeah and why else would they be at that castle and not be the center of attention. She had to be sleeping around. Even the head of the house was even out. Wonder if they were being whores together. They should really watch their place”
Maybe it is time to offer a firm hand.
“What a disgrace for a Magne butler.” In a flash you were holding the poor imps shoulder. “You should hold your tongue pet. If anyone needs to learn their place it's you” As much as you looked the most human out of everyone in your family, your eyes were glowing red. Raging in place.
Later walking towards the boy you held the boy up. “You should head to bed, a growing boy like you needs to get some rest” Dropping him off at the door. All the tension just started to build larger and larger. 
*click*
“I-I— I swear I devote all my time and love to your family! Let me fr-” pathetic isn't it. Seeing it beg like a dog. 
“I told you to hold. your. tongue.” 
“Whatever do you meAAHH” in an instant his entire tongue was sitting in his palm. 
“Nobody would miss you. I mean you're just another of the hundred imps here. Replaceable.” you were an Imp advocate, however when taking the life of the pathetic sometimes words hurt larger. Without his tongue he looked corned, falling on the ground.
Within a second taking one of the cards from the table you slit his neck.
“Disgusting, the opposite of elegant”
-
Maybe that was a little harsh. It definitely came from insecurity from your side but the rage was building up. However if this taught you anything it's that respect comes from nowhere. If even the people that you cared about so much were still just a victim of the castle. 
You weren't oblivious enough to say that everyone loved the royal family. However, with how much you've tried to promote better rights for the lower classes in your own home it definitely stung. 
But this was the push that was needed to get out of the palace. Respect can be earned and good people are possible. Just a little push can be helpful in all of the seven rings of hell.
Walking down the hall back to your quarters you felt a sudden rush in your heart. Maybe being in hell had made killing give you rush. But it couldn't be. Not in the slightest. Protection. It had to be protected. Seeing that kid around the scum of what hell has to offer is the opposite of what you want. 
If you're born in hell why shouldn't you have the option to do good?
-
Standing at the gates was so incredibly scary. You told no one that you were leaving. Not even Charlie, she didn't have to know. If anything, cutting contact with everyone in the family would be the best course of action. 
Holding nothing while walking out could've been a good idea. It's a new life and if anything that your dad told you it is having power to be a proper function in hell's society and you're going to do just that. The only minor thing that made you almost start praying was that your parents wouldn't cut off the spare card of money that was held.
-
At the current moment you were heading towards the cannibal colony to get some new clothes for a new life that was ahead of you. While you were at home you had to entertain yourself somehow and that usually played with watching old TV. A favorite of yours would be the addams family and it may have been set in the 50s but the cannibal colony had held some of the finest clothes of all of hell. 
“I don't believe my blinkers! Your aura was singing like a canary since you entered the city” A glitched out voice came booming out. 
Just from your knowledge everyone from hell is the worst so looking at this so called demon would be the worst idea. So you kept walking.
“I'm not just another joe, while you're not just another dame.” The feeling of a strong wind lifted you up towards the voice. Facing him was honestly such a sight for sore eyes. He held himself with such immense height, in the most luxurious suit fit for a prince. Beauty was all that could be said about his face. Such a divine specimen. 
“Well aren't you a dashing” As much as he was a sight it was better to be cautious. “You're right though, I'm not just a dame. One day i'm going to change this place” 
“That's such a bold thing to say for someone who knows nothing of this place.” 
Shit, he's also right about that. You do know nothing about this place. It's almost a losing battle if you fight back.
“For someone that isn't from here that's a statement in itself” well that sounded really dumb coming out of your mouth. 
“You're absolutely right, doll! It is such a statement!” His grin was so terrifying, it made your entire body crawl “By saying i'm not from here you answered my first question. For being from hell you dont look like anyone else that wanders the streets” 
Sometimes you wish you looked more like your parents with how pale and unique they looked. However for some reason you were made in the likeness of a human. Maybe that's why a lot of people aren't the biggest fan. 
At this point he's still holding you in the air where you are facing eye to eye. You weren't short, but for most demons in hell you were considered small. In fact a lot of hellhounds were taller than you. It only furthers the point of how human that you do look like. 
“Who are you to talk? As far as i'm aware you're just another demon from earth pip” you spat out. To you all humans that come from earth simply chose to be down here because of their actions. 
“Flirting with me are you? I am more than happy to say I am Alastor Hartfelt!” pulling you closer to his face “Though some may call me the radio demon” he announced.
You've heard of him. Now you don't have a feeling that you're going to be hurt but in fact more impressed that the first person you meet is one of the overlords of hell. 
In all honesty you have no regret for calling him pip, he is such an attractive soul that it would be so wrong to not do so. 
“Ok 
“Now come with me! I'll help you look smooth before you get eaten alive” Alastors voice rang through your ears while you looked around to see ladies in fancy old dresses glaring at you with intense power.
-
Looking in the mirror you were now wearing flowing dark red high waisted pants with a mesh translucent skin tight top. It looked really good but the opposite of on brand for the 1930s. Its practically a gothic hippie. 
“Hey Alastor, why are you here? Like you have no reason to be here and helping me” looking around the curtain of the clothing shop you see him sitting tall while polishing his microphone.
“I have no idea pip, When I look at you, you simply give me a weird calling. Not only that but dollface you hold much power and i want to see all things with value breaking others to squeeze them into a pulp.” by the end of that little tangent objects were shifting around the room. His radio voice is so oddly satisfying.
Walking out with an amused face, he looked at you with a small hint of admirations and some weird warped look of desire. There are a lot of compartments in a streetcar named desire and to him you are another key to his already large package of power. Looking through his eyes you can only tell that he sees you as a helpless little deer. If only he knew being a child of a demon and an angel meant so much more.
Now rushing to mind, you never introduced yourself. Red started to flood your face as it has been most of the day that had already flown away without introducing yourself. 
“Im (Y/n) by the way” 
Ring-a-ding-ding he thought. The thought flowing through his mind wonders if the wonder standing in front of him knew the weapon he's going to build from them.
“(Y/n)? Mmm i do like the sound of that” grinning like a Cheshire “Now (y/n), you are such a murder! would like to make people bleed?”

Title // Hickey
Summary // Tali got a hickey....but not exactly from a human.
Prompt 1
#25 : "Is that a hicky?"
Note // Of course no problem, also I hope this is what you mean by anonymous if not I can edit no problem I don't mind.ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ😊
Tumblr media
Tali thought it was gonna be a peaceful day. The day was good nothing bad happened. She went to visit Hyunjin well more like Hyunjin's dog Kami. She went to go babysit the dog since his family out aswell and she was off, so she offered to babysit his dog. He accepted, knowning Kami already liked Tali since thats Kami was a gift from her to Hyunjin.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm positve that I can, no need to worry."
"But shouldn't you be resting inst-"
"Hyunjin I'm fine please, Im probably gonna nap with Kami anyway."
"Okay okay the key is-"
"Under the lap light yes I understand how to get in, now I gotta go bye"
"Fine, bye take care"
"You too"
Tali ended the call, shaking her head at it, wow I feel like he doesn't trust me in my dog care abilities I literally gave him the dog?
She was confusing herself while she was getting ready, she wrote a note saying,
Hey, Im babysiting one of Straykids dogs for today. I will be back either tomorrow morning for practice, or coming back to change, and no, no you can not come with me so don't even try.
Love, Tali
She then left it there in the kitchen counter of Nct 127 dorm more specifically the 5th floor with her leader so he won't get terrified on where she went.
Then she was off, she stopped by a few stores to get treats for Kami and some groceries for herself to cook because she doesn't want to use Hyunjin's parents groceries.
She grabbed the key with a little trouble, and went in she put down the groceries on the counter and went to go see Hyunjins dog. Kami was about to bark at her until he recognized her and started running towards her a licking her face.
"Ah wait wait chill" Tali giggled. Almost falling down.
Here Tali gave Kami food and honestly went about her day, she wrote music, watched tv with Kami, walked Kami, and finally it was 6, they boys already called in to check on her asking if they should comeover and give her food, her knowing they just don't like her in another idols houses specifically Stray kids . After the incident with the crane + plus kiss, they were jealous.
"No Johnny I'm okay I've taken care of this dog before I'm fine I bought groceries before I got here anyway so no, but nice try."
"Ha ha very funny, I'm just trying to keep you safe."
"Yeah I understand, but you also just don't like me in one of the members Stray Kids houses." Tali said teasingly.
"WE ARE NOT JEALOUS" Haechan yelled from across the room, eavesdrop on the conversation.
"YEAH WELL SAY THAT TO YOUR 20 MESSAGES FOR ME TO BRING YOU WITH ME" Tali yelled back
She heard the boys laugh.
"Well either way Im gonna take a nap I will text you when I wake up."
"You promise" Tali froze at the word promise, she didn't like promising anything if knowing she couldn't keep it.
"Nope bye love you guys"
"No wai-" Tali cut them off, she was remembering things she didn't want to remember so then Kami went on her lap comforting her.
"Why are you so mean to the others but not me huh, you scare them sometimes....even your own owner." Tali said in disbelief. Kami just barked in response.
Tali was tired so she took a nap on the couch with Kami but more like sleep since she didn't wake up till 5am. Kami was licking her face and neck. A little too much since she got some little bruises there not noticing when she showered or changed. She did everything for Kami in the morning, walked him, fed him etc. Knowing Hyunjin would come in a hour she cooked something for him so he won't forget to eat left a not and she left to go to practice.
She came in the practice room, seeing Yuta run up to her and tackle her with a hug.
"Hi Yuta" she said with a grunt.
"Hello my ass, I missed you"
" Yuta I was literally gone for just a day"
"Thats not the point" Haechan intervened.
Thats when Tali was gently yanked from both Yuta and Haechan's arms into, Doyoungs examining her neck.
"Is that a hickey??"
Everyone stopped or froze on what they were doing and now looking at the two, Doyoung had a hand on her neck caressing the three little bruises, that weren't even made from a human being more like a dog.
Tali herself was confused, she hasn't done it with anyone since....well her early teen years , she went up to the mirror trying to remember where she got the little bruises.
"Huh....I dont know" Tali said mostly to herself.
"WHAT" They said in unison.
" What do you mean you don't know??" Mark said in disbelief.
Then all of them started asking her questions. Them asking if she was forced or something for not to remember? She blocked them out thinking where she got those bruises. Then remember Kami licking her neck a lot.
"Oh...I think" she said out loud not bothered by the questions being asked.
"Wait, shhh, what was that??" Jaehyun made them quiet while they were lookin for Tali to finish her sentence.
"I think it was the dog..." Tali still in thought.
"THE WHAT"
"Wait wait hear me out, no one is at the house, the only beings in there were me and Kami which is the dog. Hyunjin was doing promotions while his parents were out for the day. Also the dog was licking my neck a lot because of the lotion." Tali remembering what happened.
The boys justs stoof there trying to process the information give to them.
"So the dog gave you a hicky on your neck?" Johnny clarified.
"Yeah, also im not doing that, oh no no. Its been a couple years of since I did any of THAT" Tali said clarifying that she never did the dirty with anyone.
"Oh okay okay....." they all said understanding what she meant, then Taeyong turned around back at her processing the last part.
"WAIT IN A COUPLE YEARS??"

Tommy: 6-12 month old Golden Retriever-Newfoundland mix
Wilbur: 3 years old Newfoundland-Poodle mix
Technoblade: 4-5 year old Newfoundland
=====
They are all half-siblings.
Techno is the oldest so he is in charge. That means Tommy and Wilbur should bow to him. They don't really
Techno is a big ol dog and so is Wilbur (or will in Tommy's case) but they will be smaller than Techno
Tommy is a puppy so he's very hyper. Always.
Au are basically dogs without a home :(
Techno does the hunting/searching for food while Wilbur watches and plays with Tommy at the temporary homes
(Phil will find them at some point and give them a home)
Where is their mom? Dead :/
(Also i know dogs are born in litter but they don't have a owner so not all would make it this far)
OH almost forgot they are all fluffy!! Wilbur is more curly, Techno is poofy, and Tommy is slightly curly.
Sometimes Wilbur will go look for food but his main job is to protect Tommy.
^ They switch basically
====
Outside of a house a pair of dogs, a big brown curly dog and a small golden puppy arrive from the bushes near the woods.  "Tommy, follow me quietly," the brown dog barks softly. "Okay!" Tommy said a bit too loudly. "Shhh Tommy," "sorry Wilbur" "it's okay just be quiet".
Wilbur trots around the house with Tommy doing the same. Wilbur stops at a window sill, looking up and sniffing. 
"Toms, do you smell that?" "No?" "Well I smell some meat and you are going to help me get it" "Shouldn't we wait for Techno?" "No" "..." "Are you going to help?" "Yeah".
Wilbur lays down so Tommy can hop on his back. " Are you ready?" Wilbur whispers, "Yes" Tommy says back. Wilbur then stands up so Tommy can see through the window. "You see anything?" "Yes! I see-" Tommy says before being interrupted by a bang which causes Tommy to fall off of Wilbur.
When Tommy looks up there is a knocked over trash can with a blonde haired man standing and staring at them. "Oh shit, Tommy ran!" Wilbur says while pushing Tommy up. Wilbur and Tommy run through the bushes until they are deep in the woods.
They arrive at a small cave where a large light brown dog sits at the entrance. "Where have you guys been?" He says suspicpluy. "Uhhh nowhere Techno! Nowhere we were just walking around" Wilbur says while waking Tommy with his tail. "Thomas is that right?" "Yes?" "Uh uh right, well now you both cannot leave" "what! Wilbur tells him he can't do that" "I can and I will. You better be here when I come back"
Wilbur and Tommy lie down and watch as Techno leaves the cave and walks out into the woods to go find them all food.
