Okay. So.
This post, right? I had this vivid bit come to me based on the deli comment + Pic combo. I do not plan on writing more. Free to a good home someone else take this I would NOT have any idea where to go with it oc or insert live your best life
You didn't usually come by this way, and frankly if there hadn't been closures for some infrastructure work you still wouldn't. The extra 10 minutes this unforseen detour was causing meant your entire schedule was thrown off balance. It was only by happenstance that plans got moved an hour back while you were already on the way. Normally you'd be more upset that shit got shifted while you were already on the way but you figured a solid "fuck it" was warranted and you should get yourself something to eat really quick.
You figured a new route would mean new restaurants, and had you decided this anywhere along your usual route or even before your turn down this detour? You'd be so right. You knew there were tons of little places you made notes to go back and try the ever nebulous sometime.
This would be an awesome sometime if it didn't mean trying to turn around and backtrack and the way the construction area had been? That was not appealing.
This road had a surprising lack of food options, and between the idea of gas station snacks or a little corner deli? You were gonna pick the deli first. Why not, good to try new things after all.
Only as soon as you walk in you see the guy behind the counter. Well, more leaning between the counter and the front, he's obviously tied enough to the place that he's talking to the only other customer in there, but someone else is actually making the sandwich while he chats with the guy waiting.
You were ready with a polite smile as you looked at the menu but something about the guy made you do a second glance and-
You knew of that neck tattoo. The long sleeves and pants he wore covering the rest of his skin suddenly felt a lot less sensible for the weather and a lot more like brush hiding something dangerous. That hammer might as well have been a sign saying 'this is not a place of honor', it was a warning and a potential threat all in one and you were not gonna ignore that.
You'd normally just turn on your heel and slide out, quiet and unnoticed, except he had noticed you.
"Welcome," and if that didn't feel like a bold faced lie to you but you keep a pleasant smile even as the fuckoff huge other customer, also very large, also very white and also very covered up- face mask, beanie, sunglasses in hand and hints of tattoos peeking from his sleeves- turns to look at you as well.
You try so hard to keep your polite smile and distinctly not make eye contact as you look over the menu. Your appetite is so far gone you don't know if you're gonna eat for the rest of the day, you weigh the odds between being able to just make your escape versus buying a drink and mentally trying to figure out if you had enough loose change to get a water bottle because you did not want these people to theoretically have your name. Not with that dogwhistle on his fuckin neck you didn't.
But you've never been so glad for your friends serial texting, your phone chiming four times in rapid succession in your pocket.
You fish it out and, well, damn, if that isn't one hell of a meme. You let your brow furrow, "oh son of a-" you look up and offer an apologetic smile, "so sorry, have a good one," and you beat feet and make a hasty retreat.
You dial that friend in question as you make your way out, "hey, yeah, I know you just texted me but I need to be on the phone really quick? Yeah uh," you do a bit of a look around and behind you, making sure your coast is fairly clear before you lower your voice and continue, "might've. Just accidentally walked into a white supremacist place?"
"HOW DO YOU ACCIDENTALLY-"
"It's not like they hung a swastika on the window," your tone creeps back up with exasperation, "the guy- manager or owner I dunno- he had the fuckin- the hammer on his throat! And he was too covered for me to check for iron crosses and with his only other customer being another giant white guy I wasn't playing the odds! Anyway, whatever, I'm almost there just. Hang out with me on the phone. Where the hell did you find that meme?"
--------
Look I'd cut back to where it goes back to the guys bantering here but like. I'm running out of steam and Price doesn't cooperate with my writing at the best of times.
Just know Simon absolutely makes the joke that pretty birds leaving is what happens when you let Roaches around your food. Roach just flips him the bird.
Gaz was absolutely walking down the street and heard some of that phone call. Absolutely finds it hilarious.
Anyway please if you want this take it free to a good home I do not need this freeloader

Tallest Red Cosplay
I made this garbage can purely out of spite, it’s my first real cosplay, and it’s ironic because I’m barely taller than 5′1″ 
It’s also incomplete (missing a PAK, abdominal plating, and matching armsocks/body paint)
Apologies,, I’m not very photogenic. I sorta resemble a greasy rat goblin so there’s t h a t
Tumblr media
this abomination of a cosplay won second place out of my entire school, and first at my orchestra’s costume contest. It took a full month of work to make, and the entire thing was designed by me and handmade for the most part. (The only exceptions being the tights, shoes, and gloves. The skirts were sewn with a machine.)  (process pics and descriptions under the cut) 
So my dumbass decided to build a partial armor suit invader zim cosplay for Halloween out of spite. I didn’t see anyone do this before with the Tallests, and I wanted to try a “humanized” and partial armor suit approach out. Also all the armor is shiny and iridescent because I have a dumb crow brain. It took me several nights of little to no sleep, and a month of work to do. I had to cut out some parts in order to get it done in time for my school’s and orchestra’s costume contests- the chestplates were done the NIGHT before the orchestra concert and the arm socks were finished the night before the schoolwide one. We couldn’t find matching tights to butcher for the armsocks in time so we had to make do with some t e e n a g e  m u t a n t  n i n j a  t u r t l e s ones in the meantime. I’ll be making a PAK and finishing up the rest of this cosplay in the future, as I’m planning on taking it to Comicpalooza this year. Which I’m VERY excited about, because this is my first “complex” cosplay EVER and it’s actually not too uncomfortable to wear? I wore this for nine hours and the only problem I had was how I can’t move my arms higher than the shoulder. Also this thing used so much floormat and craft foam to make.
Tumblr media
The secondary(?) chestplate- breastplate?? AND the other chestplate took a full twelve hours of straight work to do. It’s of my own design, and it’s clearly my first try at making a breastplate as it uhhhhh keeps me from raising my arms higher than the shoulder. So I can’t do awful dances like carameldansen in this thing. HOWEVER. The neck has an accidental pocket that I can store my glasses and phone in. That I can’t reach without getting creative with my flexibility. It’s secured in place with Velcro and has elastic on the back of the neck for adjustment. Tbh this one was the one I was the most worried about.
Tumblr media
The vambraces were probably the EASIEST part of this cosplay to build. I don’t really have much to say about them other than they’re shiny.
Tumblr media
THIS BITCH WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE DAYS OF SLEEP FROM ME. I had to wrap myself in cling wrap and duct tape to get some sort of a pattern made, which I then ended up scrapping half of because it was bIGGER THAN MY FOAM SHEETS. so I ended up making the front with the pattern I made, and then Frankensteined an entire sheet of foam to the back of it that I then shaped to fit. This one isn’t glued together but is actually hand stitched down the sides and it closes with velcro in the front. Also surprisingly not uncomfortable to wear? One of the shoulder plates fell off so I’ll have to reattach that before comicpalooza.
Tumblr media
THIS BAD BOY was of my own design,,, I had to measure my head, sketch out the pieces by hand onto some paper, cut them out and cut some foam out, shape the hecker  with a heat gun instead of a hairdryer like my old Soundwave helmet from like four years ago, and it’s held together with hot glue instead of masking tape like my last helmet. The antennae are fully posable too because they have a wire built into them. I casted resin for the headpiece and wrapped wire around it to get some extra shiny. This thing was my first attempt at using decent tools like a dremel. So it’s a lot cleaner than the other helmet I did. I did have to cut the thing in half though to get it to fit my head, and we made it adjustable with elastic in the back.  so yea that’s my filthy ass cosplay

BTS: Love yourself tour
I am going to write about my experience, which of course, was nothing but PERFECT. This is part 1, before the concert~ 
I will make separate posts for photos/videos :) Since you can only post a few at a time~ 
So, my best friend and I traveled from Alberta (Canada) to Los Angeles, for their September 6th show at The Staples Center. We stayed in L.A. for a week, and also visited the BT21 store more than once <3 
Since we attended their second show, we got some warnings in regards to the merch line. So, we arrived about 8 am, (opened at 10 ish) and we met a few people who instantly became our friends and we actually spent the entire day with them. 
The line up was actually not that bad, personally I am a very patient person so maybe that could be part of why I did not mind so much. I was just too excited to care, and just being surrounded by people who have the same love and passion for BTS, just made me feel so genuinely happy. 
Everybody was extremely friendly, and everyone was giving each other compliments and asking what they were going to get from the Merch stand.
After about an hour and a half (which is really no time at all, so we were really fortunate with the spot we had in line) I got all of my stuff ~ I got a Love Yourself sweater, Love yourself bracelet, Picket Fan (I originally wanted the 7 members, but they sold out minutes before I got up there, so I got Jimin’s) and I got Jimin’s Premium photo, The official ARMY bomb ver 3, and their Program book (WHICH I RECOMMEND FOR ANYBODY WHO IS GOING TO THE TOUR!!) The program book is so awesome, I love it ~ I don’t want to spoil too much as to what is in it, but it includes interview in both English and Korean, and pics, and stuff, its really nice <3 
After we got our merch, we went into another line up, to go into this tent they had set up. It was meant to showcase their LG7 phone, so it was really neat. They had a bunch of cardboard cut outs you could take photos with, like a BUNCH. 
They had the outfits that the members wore in the advertisements which was also really cool~! The staff were all super kind and helpful too, which I definitely want to make sure I mention. They were really interactive, and fun, and made the experience all that more amazing. 
They had a little DJ area set up too, where their music would play and you could play around with it~ 
I am sure many are familiar with BTS studio, but at tours they will set up a little studio where you can take photos/video with “BTS” (a digital version of them)
And since there were so many people, they had a little bowl of white and yellow balls, some blank and some with an X, and if you drew a certain ball that was blank, you were able to go into the BTS studio.
It was crazy because My best friend, and the three friends we made and were hanging with, and myself all drew one with an X, but the girl right after me got a blank ball. LOL.
After all of that, we made our way down to the BT21 store, which of course, also had a pretty long line, but time went by sooooo fast. Everybody was playing BTS in the line up, and talking to each other. It was so fun, and it just made me so proud to be ARMY. 
They would let a certain amount of people in at a time. 
The store was SOOOOOO cute. They had statues of the characters around the store, and a little section where you could take photos with the statues. 
I spent quite some time in there, I was just way too excited. I am OBSESSED with BT21. Even the bags you carry your purchased items in, have the characters on them! It was just so cute~
The first time we went, I got a bunch of Chimmy stuff, but then I went back another day and got each character as well :) 
All in all, I got a Chimmy Plush doll ( I had to ) , Van keychain to add with my Chimmy one, I got a Chimmy pen, I got each character folder (except I didnt get Koya which made me so sad!!!!!!!! So, I will get it online to add to the collection) I got a VAN water bottle, Chimmy sleeping mask so now I will have the Chimmy shirt, and the slippers to match for pajamas (although, I really want to get the pajama set) I got a Chimmy Massage stick, which came with a free poster! I got the Tata poster <3 I also got a BT21 all character weekly planner ,and BT21 all character clipboard with a notepad :) and a chimmy headband which I wore to the concert! I also got an RJ fan and a chimmy mirror~ I will post photos of everything later on <3 With the purchases , they gave little postcards and BT21 stickers, it was them lined up like BTS, and it said “Love yourself” :) So cute~!
It was awesome because if you showed your concert tickets , you also got a free bt21 character balloon~ I got Van ! :) Unfortunately, they were not allowed in the concert venue, and we were unable to put them anywhere until we got out, so we had to just throw them away at the gate! :( 
After spending lots of time at the BT21 store, we headed back to the Staples Center and my heart was RACING.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twisted Tales- Bucky x Little Mermaid Part 1/3
Bucky Barnes (as merman) and Reader (as Ursula the Sea Witch)
Warnings: Probably a little violence, drinking, maybe even a little swearing at some point.
So, this was supposed to be a one shot, that could have other storylines spin offs if people wanted them- like Steve x Tangled or Loki x Beauty and the Beast- but it got a little long. ;\ Also, I’m just trying this out- so I would love some feedback! I added the description near the top so you could get the feel for it. Thanks for reading <3 (I love the drawing for this!! <3 not mine, credit in pic.)
Masterlist      Twisted Tales Masterlist
Part 2    Part 3
-----
Tumblr media
In this Twisted combination, Bucky Barnes is Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid. And he wants to visit the water so much. So when his father allows his to take a ship out for his birthday, he happily accepts- regardless of the promises he made once he got back. With one slightly shady character, he makes a deal- and his ship gets hit by massive waves; instead of Ariel saving our Prince Bucky, he turned into a merman. He can’t believe how much of this underwater world exists- now he’s being chased by this weird little girl with red hair that won’t leave him alone, and the only help he can get is from you-the reader, as Sea Witch Ursula.
“Coming,” Prince Bucky shouted down the hall after being called, pulling his gaze away from the water.
“You’re always looking out there,” Sighed his father, “There are more important things.”
“Right.” He replied, “What’s so wrong with the water again?”
His father rolled his eyes a little, “What if we made a deal?”
Bucky’s eyebrow twitched, “About?”
“You will pay less attention to the water- a lot less. In exchange, for your birthday I’ll send you out on a ship to celebrate, away from the fancy party. And-” Here it comes, that was too easy- Bucky thought, “You’ll get more serious about finding a bride.”
His face hardened a little, trying on that mask he cleverly wore around his father. “Will there be fancy people I don’t know on the ship?”
“None. Only the people you want on there for the entire day.” The king responded.
He thought about it for a minute, “I will look more and go to more events- only if I get to take a walk every night along the water.”
The king’s eyes gleamed, “Deal.” He held out his hand and Bucky shook it.
--
The time went by and the ship and people gathered for the day. Bucky didn’t have a lot of friends outside the castle but he invited them all. He wanted there to be drinking and fun, surrounded by water.
“Ready, sir?”
“More than ready!” Bucky answered, boarding the ship.
After leaving port, they all started the music and dancing along the main deck. He noticed someone on the ship that he didn’t recognize, so he went up to talk to them.
The stranger was wearing a dark hood over their face.
“Hey there,” Bucky greeted, “Did my father send you?” He lowered his voice a little.
“No, not at all. I’m supposed to keep an eye on a buddy of mine.” His voice seemed unusually low.
“Uh-huh.” Bucky looked at him.
“I hear you like the water quite a bit, my prince.”
“I do, yes.”
“And your father doesn’t?”
“Correct again, stranger.”
“It seems to me, you should be free to explore the water.”
“I’m liking you more and more.” Bucky chuckled.
“You know, it’s said that my expertise is in underwater breathing.”
“Oh yeah?” Bucky asked. He nodded.
“I can train you if you want, but I do have a contract. So no worries get pushed on me.”
Bucky debated for a minute. “I only have today.”
“My training only takes a couple of hours to complete.” The stranger laughed, “But if you would prefer not to, then so be it.” He turned.
“No, I’m interested.” Bucky stopped him. The man pulled out the contract to sign. Bucky started to read it over when another man called him from the other side of the deck. Bucky signed it quickly and ran off to the other side.
Suddenly, there was a bolt of thunder in the otherwise clear sky. It got dark within another couple of minutes, and the waves started to get bigger. The boat rocked, Bucky losing his balance, sliding. Another bolt of lightning, and the ship was hit this time.
Bucky got flipped overboard, under a piece of ship. He struggled, trying to get free- trying to conserve his breath. He lost his patience and gave in to a gulp of breath. To his surprise, it felt like he could breathe. He did it again, opening his eyes, pushing away from the hunk of ship.
He blinked and shook his head, what the heck happened to his legs?
“You okay?” A girl swam up to him, with flowing red hair.
Bucky shrieked a little, was he hearing her? And her legs, they were…
“You’re funny,” She laughed, “You look- have I seen you before?”
“I-I don’t think so.” Bucky answered back. Okay, he was either dead or knocked unconscious.
“Say, do you wanna hang out?” She twitched her eyebrow.
“Err, not now. Thanks.”
“Aww, come on. I’ll show you my- collection.” She smiled, swimming around him.
“I’m alright, thanks.” Bucky said again, getting a little more annoyed. He went to move and went pretty smoothly. He noticed the girl pouting and watching him.
He moved along, his eyes finally seeming to be adjusted to the water. She followed. He swam faster, trying to dodge her.
“Leave me alone.” He called.
“Come on…” She pouted, “I want to see you, and I get what I want.”
“How annoying.” He swam deeper and deeper into an area, finally diving into a dark cavern. She seemed to be lurking about so he dove deeper into it.
--
“Who-are-you?” You said in a menacing voice. The man seemed to be startled, turning around- his eyes widening. “Why is there a merman in my cave?” You put your hands on your hips.
“I-I’m sorry.” He looked you over, “I was just trying to escape this girl with red hair.”
You snickered, “It’s probably Ariel. She has no shame.”
“And who are you?” His eyebrow twitched.
You laughed, sounding deeply maniacal, “You enter my home, and demand to know who I am?”
“You’re right, I apologize.” Bucky cleared his throat, “I’m sorry it’s just been a- weird day.”
You sensed something, and went and circled him, your lips curling, “How interesting! You’re- human?”
He looked shocked, “How- How did you know?!”
“Honey, I’m what you would call- a witch. Sea witch to be specific.” You tsked, “You’ve been naughty and signed something, haven’t you?”
He gasped a little, “The contract?” He paused, running his hand through his hair. “Is all of this real?! That girl? And you’re real?”
“I assure you, I am real.” You laughed again, touching your necklace. “I’m Y/N. Y/N Ursula.”
“I’m Pr- Bucky. Just Bucky.”
Your eyebrow twitched, “Well, just Bucky. Ariel’s probably gone,” You smiled to him, “Now leave.”
“Leave? Wait, help me!”
“Why should I help you?! Isn’t this what you wanted, anyways?” You smirked.
He nodded, “I just. I have to find out why…”
You sighed, “Strays coming in all the time. Wanting my help.”
“Who else needs your help?” Bucky asked.
“Are you kidding?” You turned, “Oh, right. You’re human. ‘King’ Triton stole the trident from the last king, bringing him and his runts into the palace. Except he is horrendous. He is cruel, attacking anyone who doesn’t give him or his daughters everything they want.”
“That seems unfair.”
“Right.” You confirmed, “So,” You sighed, “The Sea Witch, me, is becoming a hot commodity. As someone who has explored a lot of the open sea, they ask me for nicer areas to try and hide out.” Your eyes flashed, getting a sense from Flotsam and Jetsam- your eels. “He’s on his way with a pissed off daughter in tow. Hide in the other room.” You looked to him, “Now!” You commanded. He did as he was told, before a stamping of trident happened at the edge of your cavern.
“King Triton?” You questioned, coming near the mouth. “What can I do for you?”
“Ursula.” He looked gloomy. “Have you been helping hide people away again?”
“What are you talking about?” Trying your best to look absolutely confused. It must have worked.
“If you see a man with dark hair and a reddish tail- turn him in. He is on the run from us.” He boomed.
“Oh,” You gasped, “How dreadful.” You pouted a little, stealing a glimpse of annoyed looking Ariel, “I hope everyone is alright.”
“For now.” He confirmed, turning to leave. “And Ursula, I’m watching you.”
“Yes, my king.” You closed your eyes, trying not to have a bite to your words. They left, and you had Flotsam and Jetsam follow them to make sure they were out of sight. “Too bad you look too good for poor little Ariel.” You entered the room, finding him looking through some of your potions- you surprised him, and he knocked one off the spot it fit into. “Careful!” You grabbed at it with a tentacle, as it floated upwards. “That’s helium. Kind of hard to get bottled down here.” You frowned, going to secure it back in it’s spot.
“I’m sorry. What is all of this stuff for?”
“I use it for some medications, wounds after dealing with Triton- and sometimes other things.” You didn’t feel the need to explain everything to him.
“I really appreciate the help.” He smiled to you, “Also, the fact you have working tentacles and pet eels is totally amazing.”
You felt a little rush, most of the people down here ignored you until they needed you. And even then, afterwards they were gone. None had complimented her.
“I hope that’s not a weird thing to say.” He scratched his head, “I don’t know if it’s common or anything.”
“It’s fine, human.” You answered, turning so he couldn’t see you smirk. “So- how can I help you?”
