WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW?

This is a general reading based on a collective of people. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. If you don’t feel the pile resonates with you, don’t be scared to try another, if it still doesn’t feel right, that’s ok! Maybe our energies aren’t as connected and my readings are not for you.

I do these strictly for fun and educational purposes. I don’t change for these readings and I do not fake readings. I would tell you the cards I got but I pull like 20-30 cards each reading and that just slightly a strenuous task to write them all down lmao.

PICK A CARD READING

I asked my spirit guides what you need to know right now (and I got some weirdass answers), pick a card to find out what they have to tell you.

PILE 1

This was certainly a confusing reading, the first thing I was seeing was someone scrunched up on a couch, holding a telephone to their chest while three people tried to pry it from their hands. I also noticed that there weee hills piling up. Weirdly, the message I was getting was that bills weren’t being paid for the sake of hoarding money, and this person had swapped/sold out their old mobile phone for a much cheaper alternative (telephone) to preserve money.

The cards showed me a story of someone who had made a large sum of money but were hoarding it due to financially unstable beginnings. I see this making the person feel trapped and territorial. When visualising I saw a young firm who was even afraid of the attitude this person had, this may be your child, your inner child or a future child or yours.

Spirit showed me the 10 of pentacles, the empress and the death cards to symbolise that this is something you need to take the time to grow from, and let go of.

With the high priestess and wheel of fortune I can see that you can continue/start spending that money that you need to be spending and the universe will continue to give you the money as a reward if you allow it.

But do not overindulge.

I asked for some confirmation, and I got the word “liver”. After research I learnt that you can remove 90% of the liver and it will still grow back to its full size. I see this as a message to tell you not to worry about the loss and focus on what can be built up again.

PILE 2

Firstly, for visuals I saw a girl and a guy (gender doesn’t matter for this) inside an arcade, the guy stood by while the girl won a teddy bear from the claw machine (a notoriously hard game to win). After she had won it, the guy proceeded to try and steal the machine. The girl stood on lookout but was against the idea. She then pulled him out of the arcade and berated him for his stupidity - he however, did not care. After a little while they had calmed down and she asked him to go on the helter skelter (is that how you spell it?) He then flat out refused, not having a care for her desire.

I can see that this connection isn’t one you want to keep, whether this is family, friends, or even a partner, I can tell that this person doesn’t understand you and doesn’t plan on trying to anytime soon. The claw machine felt like an easy way to your heart and instead of taking the time to try their best at winning you another teddy, which would take time, money and effort, they resulted to trying to steal it. They didn’t care about the consequences of getting caught because they never seem to think ahead. They tend to live in the moment and that can get them in trouble.

To me the helter skelter represented the lengths that you would go for them (since it’s quite high up and I’m personally terrified of heights.) And you would take that journey to climb the stairs, get to the top and then make your way down the slide, meanwhile they were not willing to do this for you.

The cards tell me a similar story, I see a selfish individual that gives only what they can gain, this means materially you can have everything, but emotionally, they offer nothing close to what you desire. You’re willing to work on the relationship but they are not. This causes gossip and instability, it leaves you up at early hours of the morning upset.

I would recommend standing your ground and realising your worth so you can finally walk away.

— the fatui harbingers victory feast

a/n: this was supposed to be just a tiny headcanon but I couldn't stop typing.

important: i don‘t even know if they like alcohol, that‘s my personal headcanon for some of them lmao.

so from the new archon quest, it's mentioned that there‘s a "victory feast" and whether it was meant as a silly metaphor or an actual fact i‘d like you guys to imagine this:

imagine a harbinger gets back to snezhnaya with a gnosis in their hand, of course, there‘s a victory feast now to celebrate their new triumph over yet another region.

what a huge accomplishment.

additionally, bringing home a gnosis from another country will bring the tsaritsa one step closer to her ever so desired goal, hence why she'd throw a feast for her beloved harbingers.

the cryo archon, on the other hand, won't attend herself, the clear difference in authority shouldn't be interrupted, after all she didn't attend signora's funeral either. whether it was because she mourned her passing by herself or went to visit after everyone left is still unclear.

the costly, extravagant gathering will be held in the winter palace, respectably in the grandest room of it all with everything ready to be partaken over.

the decorations were bathed in brilliance for the memory, the lavish alcoholic beverages and big budgeted dishes leaving no place for imagination.

after the fine dining, it won't stop there though.

beyond everything, the alcohol will still continue to flow with everyone consuming the drinks and letting the priceless liquids melt within their taste buds.

aside from dottore of course, because, as a matter of fact, dottore doesn't drink.

it annoyingly fiddles with his oh clever mind and gives him a rough headache, he'd rather not participate in something as bothersome as getting befuddled and noisy.

essentially, pierro won't stay much longer either, he rarely attends gatherings and although this one in particular was of an important celebration, he'd soon after make his way back to his sleeping chambers.

yet capitano was a different story.

the fourth adored alcohol, more than anything else, almost as much as fighting a blood bathed battle, he'd gulp it up entirely while simultaneously partaking in a round of tcg accompanied by both pantalone and dottore.

mind you, dottore didn't drink, so it's actually painfully clear who will win each round since pantalone sure didn't hold back himself in regards of the alcoholic beverages and the waiters bringing a refill every five minutes, because capitano keeps beckoning them to get more.

can he stop ???

scaramouche will try to get drunk, to feel something, anything really.

(send help)

he'd get so annoyed and throw a bottle against the wall and then continues to watch the three battle it out within the card game.

don't be fooled though, we all know him, he'd give a snarky remark each time and pretends that he's the best tcg player although he never played before. (they don't need to know he doesn't understand shit about the game)

while those four overly loud and joyful harbingers, (minus dottore because he doesn't see the point in alcohol and scaramouche because scaramouche), tcg all their earnings away, childe will engage in a drinking battle with the knave.

of course, he doesn't trust arlecchino one bit, in his own words, "there isn't a sane bone in her body", but damn can she drink!

last victory feast she even won and continued to devour the bottomless amounts of alcohol while childe was about to pass out from it, pulcinella had to bring him home himself otherwise archons knew where the fuck he would've ended up in.

columbina will be by herself at first, indulging in sweet n sugary desserts before deciding to sit on the table where the three other harbingers were playing the card game.

pulcinella was preparing some glasses of water should one of them hit their alcohol limit and scaramouche proceeded to tell dottore each one of pantalone's cards because he cheated.

in a way it was interesting to columbina to watch them play, she grew curious too, she even listened to pantalone's somewhat reliable explanation of the game (excuse him he's drunk, he would've given a better explanation every other day tbh.)

marionette won't let anything unturned before she decides to ridicule and mock the amount of brass behavior practiced by her co-workers.

don't be fooled though, she will be humbled by scaramouche almost immediately when he reminds her that he is above her in rank.

how can they simply enjoy themselves when there's so much other, better stuff to do? her research was waiting for her and she began to fiddle with her fingers in stress, not knowing how she'd get away from them without anyone realizing.

after almost getting out of the feast, she heard childe, out of all the harbingers, tell her that she was boring for leaving. Ugh, how dearly she wanted to murder him right now, if her eyes were weapons he'd be long gone, her dangerous thoughts tinkering with ways to get rid of him.

with all said and done, she stomped towards the tipsy harbinger with an angered face to prove him wrong. What would a few bottles of fine snezhnayan liquor even do, she got it covered.

right? right ..

truly, she won't get drunk, not even after arlecchino dueled her for a match to 'which harbinger can drink the most' (the knave holds the winning title, not even capitano can reach that level).

so yeah in short, she did get drunk.

the victory feast will continue to go on all night, the first one to leave will be dottore because he honestly couldn't be bothered anymore and he was certain that he won capitano's entire salary of the whole month.

the last one to leave will be pulcinella after he got everyone out of there safe without one of them getting actual alcohol poisoning.

in conclusion, after this wonderful feast everyone will go back to their usual appointed duties, pretending such embarrassing night never even happened and for the first few days some of them will look at each other in a shy way and avert eye contact at all costs.

oh and, marionette still wants to murder childe for some reason.

until the next feast everybody.

[mio-actuallywrites]

May I request headcanons of house wardens with a partner whos Sam's younger sisbling but ended up overblotting due to her magic going out of control as she could've made deals(like azul did but she takes the joy of using magic so kinda the soul stuff because she wants to bring someone back form the dead thats related to her and sam(you can pick what kind of person it is)

You can ignore this if your too busy

Wait this is actually such a unique and good idea. I’ll try my best to write this but since I never watched Princess and The Frog i will try to make it the best I could. 

I didn’t know what to do with Vils part, but if you wanted me to write him I will go on and do so. 

Also had no motivation writing around this time so I’m sorry for late response!!

As soon as you walked out of your coffin at Night Raven College your brother, Sam immediately made you the co owner of his shop, often running around and helping him secure deals. Your unique magic, fate of the shadows often helped you. The magic allowed you to summon shadow figures, or spirits to help you around, or to simply have a chat with. However a shadow named Dr. Facilier kept coming to chat with you. After learning more about him you decided to summon him. With out letting anyone know. Let’s just say your unique magic consumes… a lot of… blot. 

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

When Riddle saw you in your full overblot glory his first response once to collar you.

He probably shouted “OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!” And it worked… until a shadow figure  flung it off of you, and proceeded to attack him. 

Although you had the magic, the shadows were attacking him as you attempted to summon Dr. Facilier. 

However right before you did, someone or just him managed to deal the final hit before you passed out. 

After you recovered he would lecture you, but not to harshly and would try his best to comfort you. 

Once you get better he’d probably throw a unbirthday party and ask Trey to make your favorite foods. 

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

Leona noticed a change of your behavior, you started to distance yourself and mumbled stuff when you swore no one heard you. 

However midway through one of his many naps Ruggie came in and started shaking him yelling off about you, spirits and blot. However his mind quickly put it together as he went up and immediately went to find you. 

Once he does find you, he saw other students trying to stop you, however a lot of shadow figures kept attacking them probably most likely to your UM he thought. 

He snuck past them however and found you, summoning something. And that is when he decided to strike. 

Whatever happens next you could be able to choose but after the aftermath, he just forces you to sleep with him. 

AZUL ASHENGROTTO 

Azul was wondering were you were, you usually came by the Lounge this time to help him with orders or deals. 

So he was most certainly suprised to see you summoning someone… (is this what really goes on above the sea is what he prob thought lmao.)

He then got Jade and Floyd to come with him and go beat you up. 

So after defeating you, he forced you to make a contract with him so you would NEVER summon anyone again. 

Let’s just say he kept that contract extra extra safe and barely ever saw it…

KALIM AL ASIM

I feel like he was planning a party or whatever until Jamil comes bursting in to let him know what happened. 

After that, he would run to go find you, with Jamil behind him with a even bigger frown then what he usually wears. 

So after saving you he would literally start crying and kept on repeating, never do that again!!!!

However, after you did eventually feel better, expect a party!!

I feel like for the rest of the month he would stay around you way more. (If it’s even possible.)

IDIA SHROUD

So it would be almost impossible to go overblot due to Ortho, but let’s just say Ortho wasn’t even aware. 

However, when Idia was busy gaming or doing whatever he does, Ortho suddenly burst in telling him about what was going on. 

He and Ortho quickly came, (much to Idias dismay.) and shot you down and after that, took you too Ifias room. 

After Ortho did whatever he needed to heal you, he decided to go make technology or something to help with your recovery and to also help you with your powers to not summon evil people. 

After you overblotted it was probably more like Ortho taking care of you but it was fine! Idia was probably making stuff to help you with your magic. 

MALLEUS DRACONIA

Malleus knows that your busy, but not that busy to skip your daily night walks….

So when he eventually comes to your dorm and dint see you there he knew something was wrong. So he teleported to you and found you… doing magic?

However with your shift from appearance he knew something was wrong and immediately was asking… until he realized what happened. 

After he dealt with you (much to Sebeks dismay) he took you to Diasomnia and (locked) took you to a healing tower to help heal you. 

Anyways I feel like he uses the experience to learn more about humans. 

So overall he would make sure you would promise him toAbsolutely never do that again + he used his powers to give you a faster recovery. Although he’d probably be more protective

Also the world you once loved is slowly being worked on, hopefully it would be out near the 20th!!

Teenage Dirtbag idea

They have a busy day of classes and harry has an away game that night. Harry wakes up to a text from y/n letting him know her roommates going home for weekend so she’ll have room to herself. He won’t see her / can’t come over until after the game that night so maybe some texting back and fourth throughout the day of ideas they have for the night

LMAO maybe she’s like we can watch a movie and he’s like I’d rather watch you. She’s like I’ll go after class to get snacks he’s like won’t need them I’ll be eating you tonight HAHA she’s trying to be like wholesome date night !!!! and he’s not having it lolololol

So they’re riled up by end of the day and maybe he calls her after game while he’s driving on the way to her place and things get steamy over the phone call yadda yadda yadda then proceedes smut once he’s there maybe he wants to try a toy with her??

OR he could get there and be like so what movie we watching and act like they just didn’t have the phone call and she’s so frustrated and he makes her say what she wants maybe even has her take more control“I don’t think I know what you’re talking about you’re gonna have to tell me” “all flustered huh baby?” “gonna be my good girl and tell me what you want?” “Give you anything you want you know that”

I DIE

🩷🩷

OH MY GOD??? I ALSO DIE??? THIS IS SO?? Bestie....thank you so much for your service, I'm 😩 This is so good, he'd so say "give you anything you want, you know that" OOOOOF!!!!!!!! Yeah, mhm, gonna reread this a time or two more 😭💞 AND YES A TOY!!! That's definitely on the list for SURE!!

Going insane over P:EG - Diana Venicia Analysis.

Okay so I’ve been doing a series of Essay’s dedicated analyzing Nifast’s “Imitation” art series - which are framed as abstract views into the characters and their role in the story. He also said how we’d only understand them once the game is 100% out, which are fighting words, so I started this series. Firstly I’ll post Diana because she’s the newest one I’ve done. Spoilers for the prologue!!! (Credits to Nifast for the Art LMAO)

Introduction:

Diana Venicia [roaring applause, I am pelt with roses from the audience].

Anyway, Diana Venicia is one of my favorite characters. Point blank. She is also a staple of the fandom. Partly because they love her, and partly because you motherfuckers can’t help but call her the mastermind she is a favorite among the fandom for a potential Mastermind candidate.

In a few words, I think this is bullshit. The main evidence relies on easter eggs in her design, latching onto the whole Beauty Talent = Mastermind trope, or a bad-faith reading of her actions.

Anyway, we are here to analyze her Imitation 「模倣」piece and infer what it tells us of her and her role in the story. Here I would argue we have more to work with with the proceeding page, but that’s something for the actual Analysis.

Diana - An Imitation 「模倣」

The first feature we will notice is the glaring lack of Diana’s chameleon bracelet in Diana's reflection. While one would expect this to be the starting point of the analysis, a more pressing issue is this:  Is the figure without the band the reflection?  This seems absurd, but after looking at the piece, the only indication that there is a mirror is the condensation that Diana is using to draw the heart. This lack of a clear distinction may highlight how these two versions of Diana - one with and one without the chameleon - are slowly blending together.  While the distinction between which is real and which is just a reflection fades, we can still deduce the one without the chameleon band is the reflection of who Diana is.  Now, we can return to this later. It is time to comment on the second feature - the plethora of hearts in the image.  We obviously have the heart being drawn into the “mirror”. This is a deliberate action by Diana, with her likely breathing on the glass beforehand, given its spotlessness otherwise.  There is also her heart necklace and the oddly heart-shaped curves in her hair. At least visible in her reflection, it’s likely she is wearing these on her “real” self. The chameleon's absence seems to purposely be the sole incongruity with the reflection.  So, what does this all mean? The chameleon band - or lack thereof - and the lack of a distinction between the reflection and the physical Diana creates an impression of her losing herself.   The chameleon, while representative of adaptability, artistry, and balance, is also symbolic of blending in - or changing part of yourself to avoid being noticed. I fervently believe that Diana, prior to being recognized, used her talent as a means to blend in with the “popular kids”, using it to blend in herself and perhaps offer it as a favor to them. In this way, the chameleon bracelet, still clinging to her, symbolizes how she has not let go of this part of her: the part that changes her to please others.  The reflection lacking this band also has a message to tell us. A reflection of Diana and who she is- it lacking the band symbolizes her being able to shed this mentality, and being able to actually, genuinely be herself and not place the needs of others above her own. Still, the lack of any distinction between the two in the form of a mirror, makes it clear this will not be an easy journey for Diana. To separate her genuine self from the persona she’s created for her previous social environments.  Now, the second part: What’s with the hearts? This is much more direct. I believe these hearts, which universally symbolize love and kindness, symbolize Diana’s resolve to trust in others no matter what. I say this in part due to the abundance of the symbol in the drawing. That is a simple observation. However, I also wish to draw attention to the act of Diana and her reflection drawing the heart together, copying one another. Even if the both of them are quite literally opposed, and reflective of different images of Diana (the Diana that is molded by others and the Diana that is herself), they are both acting on this desire to trust and befriend those around her. This is further backed up by the frankly relaxed and almost vacant look in her eyes as if acting like this comes naturally.  Overall, this picture shows us that Diana is someone who trusts the wishes to connect to the people around her instinctually, however, this desire has led her to degrade her own self-image - and she is only just beginning to reclaim it. No matter what, however, it is certain that her desire to connect to those around her will remain consistent.  That’s it for the drawing. Now, what can we say for the next page?

Diana - Response

Normally, I have never had to dedicate an entire section to analyzing the “Response” page. However, the response and the details of the chameleons behind it are incredibly evocative and deserve to be analyzed on their own.  The first thing to analyze is the response to the question “What are you?”. On this particular page, the answer is “A change.”  This answer serves as a double entendre. While it could be taken to mean the change that Diana imparts to her clients or anyone that seeks her services, another meaning can be found. As we've already established, Diana has likely, at some point, changed parts of herself to fit in with those around her. In this sense, this change may highlight both how Diana changes herself to fit with social groups, or in a more positive sense, Diana changing her own mindset to be more unapologetically herself.  To have these two ideas coexist isn’t just acceptable but perhaps truly reflective of Diana’s growth, as she is stuck in between the mentality of changing herself for others, and being herself to form meaningful bonds in the killing game.  Another feature to analyze is the two chameleons behind the text. One we can see has its eyes purposely closed. Simply put, this represents the “real” Diana, who hides herself to more easily appease those around her. The other lizard, the one with its eye open, represents the persona Diana has put up, in order to fit more easily with the groups she’s met throughout her life. An interesting difference between the two is that the Lizard with its eyes open - Diana's persona - has scales, but lacks horns. Some lizards and chameleons (almost always male for what it's worth) have scales to defend themselves, and horns to fight over territory.  By including the scales and excluding the horns, we can realize that Diana’s Persona was created as a method of defending herself from others, rather than any attempt to wrestle influence from others, which aligns with her dislike of drama and competition.  Thus, we can finally conclude that the image Diana has created for herself - primarily among non-ultimate's - is one with the primary purpose of being a defense mechanism from the ire of those around her. While, like a chameleon, she wishes to shed this part of herself, it will not be an easy journey and will involve her having to dredge through her persona and anima to decide what part of her is her.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can realize that Diana is characterized by a few major motives: The desire to see the good in others (likely tied to her pursuit of cosmetology), the desire to appease others (as seen by her chameleon motif and the sweet nothing in her dialogue in P:EI and Chapter 0) and the desire to connect with others.  Of the three, this desire to connect meaningfully with others is the newest, as is seen by Diana having only just recently been “recognized” for talents, and as such being given the chance to stand with equals, rather than have to simply use her skills to blend in with others.  Diana’s primary arc, if seen to fruition, would see her overcome the ingrained idea to put others over herself - while not sacrificing her instinctual desire to befriend and understand those around her.  I do believe Diana is hiding who she is from those around her. However, I do not believe there is any malicious intent behind this. On the contrary, I ardently espouse the idea that Diana is willing to mold and change herself to fit in with those around her. By being among Ultimates, those who see her as an equal rather than someone to be taken advantage of, it is certain Diana will have the chance to be more confidently Diana, even amid the killing game.  To end off, I would like to share the idea of Diana being Damon’s foil [Foil - a character who serves as a contrast to the qualities of another character.] Damon and Diana have almost certainly experienced some form of social isolation due to their talents. Damon is explicitly told to us in his Bio card, and Diana’s can be inferred as it is very possible her make-up skills made her seem more like a tool than a friend to those she helped in her school.  There is also their motive to attend the school, in being surrounded by other ultimates. Finally, I wish to share that I am confident that both of their arcs will be learning how to communicate and connect with the students in the face of the game. Both of their animals are even reptiles!  However, while their motives, arcs, and backstories may be the same, everything else is perfectly opposed. Both wished to be surrounded by Ultimates; Damon so that he could claim the glory and be among those he saw as equals, and Diana so she could be among those who saw her as an equal.  Both of them likely faced ostracization due to their talent, however, this occurred in opposite ways. Damon, ever argumentative, decided to double down on his stubbornness and turn it into a new talent instead of trying to connect with others. Diana, while attempting to connect to others via her talent, only ended up positioning herself atop a pedestal, rubbing elbows with Hollywood bigshots - regardless of her intentions.  Hell, even the fact that both of them are trying to hide who they are is consistent. It is a no-brainer that Diana will act to contrast with Damon - showing how the desire to connect with others will triumph in both of their cases and her death [which I am certain is her being the - not “a” - chapter 3 victim] will highlight the cruelty of the game and motivate the cast to properly unite in the face of the game.  [Note - I didn’t expect the “Diana and Damon symbolize what talent can do to a young person's social bonds and how they can overcome that damage in an opposite yet harmonious way” spiel to be that long. Oops!]

y’all already know what time it is , popping in with my quarterly check-in.  just the general , thank you for remaining patient with me through the term and a reminder that the queue will assuredly run out soon but i won’t have the energy to do much for it until break starts a few weeks from now.  i’m always skulking about , however , willing to do things over discord or IMs.  anyways , the tea under the cut , for those interested !

well , as you might expect , we’re in rush-hour rn with the final few weeks slamming into everyone full-force.  not much is happening save for me continuing to excessively min-max my time to ensure i get the best grades possible ( please stop me , this is a problem ) . also two of my finals are a presentation and , as we all know , i might have done theatre but i cannot public speak ; pray for me.

i inevitably turned down the symposium despite the board members being like , “you should do it ! you have good research !” nah. you want my stupid ass to talk to the whole campus ? not gonna happen. sorry , maybe come talk to me when i’m , i dunno , another few years more self-assured.

the induction ceremony into the honor’s society is the 18th ! POG ! every time i talk about it , though , i inadvertently keep referring to it as an “inauguration” so now certain people i’ve mentioned it to refer to me as , “mr. president” as a running gag i shall never live down.  don’t you ever let my big-dick 4.0 and verbose mannerisms fool you , i can’t even speak my own language half the time LMAO.

it came to my attention recently that the remaining cornerstone classes for my degree are evening classes. and , just to save everyone a long and miserable story , the TLDR is i don’t drive for traumatic reasons ( and hailing an Uber several times a day back-and-forth is unsustainable when i pay part of my tuition already ) . so i had to sit down to counsel with my advisors and upcoming professors to sort out a game-plan. one of the professors , i shit you not , broke out the , “well , as a psychiatrist --” and she proceeded to grand-stand to me about her accolades , “-- have you considered therapy ?” like , no , what a novel idea-- obviously i have. i literally almost bailed right in that moment ; how fkn rude can you be ? what’s better is that i’ll be seeing her several times next term so … what a good introduction , huh ?

and just a remark about my moral theology course ( again ) . i do not see myself as a “know-it-all” … but i noticed over the term that i am one of the few who contributes consistently to the discussion at all. every time the professor asks a question , I MEAN OBVIOUSLY i have something to say ( like just recently he asked about dostoevsky , whom i was excited to discuss ) . and i swear to god , i cannot tell if this man is smiling when i talk because he’s amused or annoyed -- perhaps both. 

#❧ ⸺ update | ooc ❞ #❧ ⸺ you’ve gone maverick‚ maverick ! | ooc ❞ #sadge for the queue tbh #it was nice while it lasted #but still you're all more than welcome to chatter at me in DMs any time! #i promise i'll try to post a few lore things or inbox calls once it's run out tho

[okthatsgreat]

i'm curious about rie do you have any cool facts to share about her?

YES OFC!!!!! SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT THE GIRL 👇🏻

she's got some seemingly random talents that are all related to pageantry! this includes being able to play the flute spectacularly, being fluent in three languages (japanese, english, french), being able to recite poetry on a whim, and being able to SPRINT in heels

during her first ever "big league" pageant she was able to compete despite being underage!! a lot of that had to do with convincing the board as well as being one of if not THE most successful candidate in japan. and of course this just mounts on additional pressure because if she fails then why did the board break their backs for this kid??? and it also spread a LOT of rumours amongst the contestants of like. what did she DO to make the board accept her

^^ speaking of which she was sooooo frightened of making friends with the other contestants because she has this (often irrational) feeling in the back of her mind that all of them were out to get her hergfhsgkjdg. and honestly....... she might not even be wrong lmao. a few of them were actually really nice to her though. like they kept seeing each other at competitions and whenever rie popped up they always took her out to lunch or helped her with her homework backstage. like they saw that she was just this kid so they tried to get her through regular school so she has something to do once pageantry was over for her but of course she then LEFT regular school for hpa ............. which will. probably be great in the long run

a lot of season 50 deals with themes of what can be considered truly good and bad, which is sometimes portrayed through characters having two "sides" about them (pippy, ryobe, other unnamed characters lol). rie is honestly one of the prime examples of this theme despite not being the fan favorite postgame

she lived with her dad and a cat named Princess Sophia of Gardania after that one barbie movie she could not stop watching when she was a kid

shes a very unattractive crier when she fully lets herself go. not a pretty crier at all, which is why she tends to leave trials with her head held high and trying not to cry OR her face buried in her hands

she does a lot of charity work post-game! most of it is because team dr tells her to lol. she's the publicity girl of that season and she's very good at keeping up appearances

other than press stuff she realllyyyy doesnt talk all that much with her season ghfdjkghkdsfhjg. way too painful, a lot of them if not ALL of them know her deepest darkest secrets, and also once they figured out her secrets in the game they proceeded to call her a murderer and get everybody executed sooooooo

still on that beauty grind and probably has a brand deal with maybeline or smth. probably going to star in a netflix special that will be mediocre at best. yknow the deal

tyyyy :))) <3

Sorry if you’ve said already but can you tell us about it your Lucy and Mariona meeting(s)

of course…i could literally talk about it all day and i’d never get bored lmao😭

so with mariona it was at the barça v chelsea game at stamford bridge last year. me and my sister were stood round the back by a barrier working out what we wanted to get for lunch lmao and there was a few others standing there (waiting for players to come out as 5 minutes after we left lucy came out and took pics with everyone.) i looked up from my phone and mariona was just there lol like it was so random i had to do a double take and basically some of her family or friends had come behind the barrier where all the fans were and the stewards wouldn’t let them through so mariona basically came and got them haha. i didn’t really say anything to her but i smiled and went to my sister “omg that’s mariona” and then she smiled and waved at us. i have a video of her back lmao😭

and then with lucy it was at the barça v athletic club game in may (bearing in mind she wasn’t even playing as this was when she was injured but she’d come to watch) i was walking to the train station after the game and saw these girls talking to someone in a cupra so i knew it was a player and my dad was telling me to go see but i got soooo nervous so he practically dragged me over there😭 and it was lucy signing stuff with these two girls and i kid you not i literally just stood there and stared at her. it’s so embarrassing to think about because she was smiling at me and i literally just had my mouth open in shock lmao. but i went over and got a photo with her and my dad told her how much i loved her and that we came all the way from england for her (i still could barely talk at this point) and she was smiling and said thank you and then i thanked her and then literally proceeded to sob once i’d walked away. i wish i remembered the actual interaction more but i was in so much shock it was insane😭 i took a screen recording whilst my dad took the picture so i’ve got like a video with her which is my most favourite thing ever! she’s so sweet tho like she was so smiley the entire time with the other girls i saw with her and with me and she just made me love her 100x more than i already did🥰

sorry that was like an essay but i get so over excited when i talk about it😭

For those reading @fazcinatingblog ‘s vague posts and my one post:

The story of how I nearly died in Sydney.

We were heading to the Giants V Collingwood game (the first mistake) in Homebush or whatever they call that stupid area so we caught the ferry but it’s so stupid, the ferry stop says Sydney Olympic Park but it’s actually nowhere near Sydney Olympic Park and we thought we just had a 10 minute walk.

15 minutes later up a hill we were exhausted.

We waited for a bus to take us back to Sydney Olympic Park train station which was all fine and all but the stupid thing is, there is a very high and unexpected step that I’ve never seen on any Melbourne bus, any Sydney bus, any Queensland bus, right where the Opal/Myki card touch off machine is.

Laura had stumbled down the step literally seconds before me but I hadn’t seen as I was trying to touch my stupid card off and had my sunglasses on. There was absolutely no way for me to see the step. I thought I was just walking, then I felt myself miss the step and I felt myself falling, but I was like ‘I’ll catch my fall I’ll catch my fall it’s just a bus step’ then it all went to severe pain and that’s all I remember, I think I woke up a few minutes later to Laura in my face asking if I was okay and holding my sunglasses, and another lady picking me up holding a packet of tissues because my finger and arm were pouring blood. I’d smashed my forehead on the concrete, I thought my hat had saved me but it hadn’t. My phone from where I touched off was still in my right hand, completely outstretched and slightly on the ground. My bag landed in a stupid position too. The bus driver forced me to give my details so I couldn’t sue him and he didn’t recognise my suburb address and then realised I’m Victorian and proceeded to tell me Victorians have no idea about public transport. Lmao okay mate.

Laura kept saying we could go back to the hotel whenever we wanted but after such a horrid run all I wanted to do was sit. I was kind of dizzy and didn’t know which way was up and some stupid GWS worker kept trying to give me this orange high vis vest that I was ready to burn.

When we were sitting I could barely watch the football. The lights were absolutely killing me and I felt so incredibly nauseous, I could have thrown up. The fans around us kept bagging Ash Johnson out and I kept bagging Lachie Schultz out. Laura said she’d spoken to me several times but had to repeat what she was saying as I just wasn’t with it enough to even hear her. She later described this to the paramedic as ‘very reserved’.

I noted that during the game I could not move my finger for the bad pain and it was still bleeding through the bandaid Laura gave me.

At 3qt I couldn’t take it anymore and could feel myself physically dropping with sleep - very unlikely to happen to me at a loud football game. I knew I had a concussion but I had no idea if I’d be safe enough to fly home the next day. So we found a St John’s ambulance team somewhere surrounding the stadium, Laura came in with me. I had to show them my driver’s license as I couldn’t remember my own birthday or address anymore, I nearly wrote Laura’s address as my own at the hospital. At St John’s I was beginning to violently shiver and I felt freezing. Laura had nothing to do other than sit along and watch me worsen. They did a blood glucose test or whatever that finger prick is, that was fine. Blood pressure was very high for me - they all say 130/60 is normal but that is not normal for me, mine is always low. They checked my pulse and then I remembered I had to tell them I had no spleen and show them my medical ID, something the Royal Melbourne and my haematologist have drilled into me whenever I’m in an emergency, I started to wish I had of given Laura my brother’s contact number, or even Patrick’s contact details so he could have stayed back in Sydney and helped if needed, or if anything got worse and I wouldn’t be able to leave. Or even my daughter’s Nan’s friend who’d came to the game and had a son playing in it.

They told me I should get an ambulance, I didn’t have to but I should - I was like yes I have to, I can’t risk this getting any worse with a flight tomorrow. And I didn’t want to be having seizures or anything at the hotel and leaving poor Laura to deal with it - frankly, she’d dealt with enough. I also wondered if by the time I made it home I’d be with it enough to look after my own children.

I sent Laura back to the hotel in Sydney because she wasn’t an immediate relative and I know due to my having no spleen they always put me in an isolation unit anyway, with strictly no visitors allowed. She asked the paramedic if she should stay or go. The paramedic said she didn’t know. Laura repeated her question. I told the paramedic Laura does this a lot, is never able to decide. Eventually Laura decided to leave - I was more worried about her spending the whole night sitting in the emergency department’s waiting room with a bunch of drug addicts going off tap. I’m still sure we made the right decision but now I realise just how concussed I was that I completely forgot I could have messaged or called my brother’s mate Patrick or his girlfriend, they were right there at the game! I’d lost it completely. All I could think about was my head pain.

The ambulance took a whole quarter to arrive and then they took an hour to leave the venue. I had secretly hoped I’d be taken to the RPA or St V’s - just because I know they’re slightly if not more better, and my details are already with St V’s Melbourne. Nope. They cook me to the concord hospital. The paramedics were so rude - the male one had a go at me for wearing bracelets and said ‘would you just take them off’ and then asked me, on four occasions if I was on drugs or alcohol. I said no, I only smoke cigarettes. He made me call Laura to confirm this, and to confirm details of the fall. And all I could think of was how much Laura hates phone calls.

My head pain was getting so much worse so they gave me this green whistle thing - from then on I had entered a new planet. They took me into the hospital and for not long we had to wait in the corridor behind an old guy in a neck brace with a green whistle who was beat boxing. Or attempting to. And my bitch paramedic took one look at me and said ‘I wish my patients did that, I always get the obnoxious ones’ like gee thanks.

I was asked to fill out a form - GREAT THING TO DO FOR SOMEONE with A CONCUSSION CONCORD - I could barely even hold the pen. I filled in my details as best as I could but under country of birth I accidentally put Croatia - I meant USA. I’d lost it completely and even messaged Laura saying I was born in Croatia. Like Jesus. They soon took me in and made me undress, putting me in a gown and a neck brace and then I wasn’t allowed to move from 11:30pm to 7am. The back and neck pain were torturous. The head pain was murdering.

The pain drugs soon knocked me out before I had remembered to message Laura about what hospital I was in. I was just gone, in another world. I woke up at 1:30am for a nurse to take my blood pressure and pulse. Still very high. She took another blood sugar test and that was fine. Then she left me to rest. Then the bladder awoke and I was busting.

I called for a nurse and thank god I got a nice one - Kim - who explained I had to use a bedpan. If you don’t know what a bedpan is - you simply don’t want to. I had forgotten all about the bedpan when I was in hospital for a concussion last year - the Alfred, actually - and basically they make you kinda bend your knees and lift your butt and then slide the thing under you and then you pee in it, lying down. Very uncomfortable. Very gross. And then they wipe you up much like how I wipe my baby daughter up with baby wipes. So strange to write about also. That was much better - then they left, I updated Laura holding my phone in an absolutely ridiculous position because I couldn’t move my head or neck and arrived to a million photos of Trent Bianco. She’d fallen asleep but awoken to - and experienced a part at the Wynyard station. Sounds like she had fun. I told her where I was and what was going on and went back to sleep for a few hours; there was nothing else to do and I was very concussed.

An hour later Kim came and took my obs again - still high - and gave me a cup of ice because ‘I looked thirsty’. Unfortunately that cup of ice made me had to pee again and an hour later, Kim and I were doing the bedpan again. I could not apologise to her enough.

I called my sister in law - she and my older brother are really my only blood contacts that I’m very close to and that aren’t my children - she couldn’t believe it but at the same time she could because ‘you always leave Collingwood games more injured than the players’ she’s not wrong. I called my cousin too, but I don’t remember much of what she said because I was gaga again at that rate. Laura was on and off texting, obviously asleep herself. She deserved the rest.

At around 5:30 6ish they took me through for a CT scan - both the nurse and I had to scream at them a bunch of times NO CONTRAST as I am anaphylactic to it. The CT scan was nothing to write home about, nor the ridiculous way they slide a yellow thing underneath you and move you from bed to bed. Xray was nothing to write home about other than his name was Jordan and he said I have a good name. I went back to the room and slept again for a bit. The doctor came and told me I had a fractured finger, fractured rib (I’ve only just recovered from another two fractured ribs from Collingwood’s premiership) and a concussion, but that I was okay to fly, I’d just be in a lot of pain. I was discharged at 6:40 and everyone was texting me to get an Uber. I just got the bus and train. The rest of the way was fine but the real bad pain started again at the Sydney Airport when I attempted to sleep on the floor or on Laura’s shoulder - but her shoulder was too Italian so I couldn’t sleep without hearing the lyrics to That’s Amore. I had a micro sleep on the plane but the rib pain was so so bad.

So in the wise words of Darcy Moore’s sister Grace;

[zee-has-commitment-issues]

Hi I rewatched episodes 4&5 tonight, so…

Rewatch Thoughts (I have had many of these thoughts before but I’ve never written them down):

Episode 4

- Kristina holding Wille’s hand makes me want to cry every time.

- Everyone is crying and it reminds me that Erik was literally 21 years old like what?

- They’re the royal family but their meal does not look appetizing in the slightest.

- Simon is the only one who laughs at his joke. It was a good joke, a great one even. A bit morbid but you know… still a good joke.

- Felice is the realest friend there ever was, but did she forgive Sara because Wille forgave her? Was that like a switch in her brain that was like “hey he forgave you for kissing him out of nowhere, maybe you can forgive Sara for telling your parents the truth.”

- august may have a crush on Nils lmao. Everyone at the society party is bashing on him for not owning anything and for being nouveau riche, and August is just like “Nisse is Great 😃!”

- “Just hold onto me” “yes please” WILLE YOU HORNY SAPPY LITTLE SHIT

- Simon’s little laugh as Wille proceeds to go down on him is something I will simply never recover from.

Episode 5

- do you think anyone noticed Wille making a sandwich and then just not fucking eating it?

- Why do they change it to “he threw up this morning” in the English version? Like “he ordered a pizza before breakfast” makes way more sense I do not understand.

- Why is literally every society member except August blonde? He stands out like a sore thumb and I hate it. You’re telling me there isn’t one more of them that could have been brunette? Or not white? Or mixed?

- Fredrika voted for herself and I support that decision. Self confidence is key babe.

- I take it back, fuck the fish scene. The lake scene is the best one.

- I love that Felice said they all dressed up and then proceeded to be the least dressed up of them all.

- Malin fucking knew exactly what was happening and so did Linda. “Gaming” my ass did you see that look? Simon was eager to get that coat away from Wille. He wanted the clothes off.

- I love Simon forgetting how to speak when Wille is around. I adore it. My favorite detail even.

- Eye contact was never once broken.

- OK BUT LIKE HOW MUCH DID THEY DO?! LINDA AND MALIN WERE RIGHT THERE AND SIMON DOESNT HAVE A DOOR

- I love that they tagged August. Like EVERYONE knows now.

- Vincent is my favorite character. He wears bright colors and makes out of pocket comments and that is all. I love him.

- Fuck you august

- I hope Maddie and Simon get to go in their shopping trip

- “I’m not a drug dealer.” Yes you are. You dealt drugs. By definition you are a drug dealer, Simon.

- Why does August have so many picture of just wille on his phone?

- KRILLE’S FACE. I LOVE IT.

- They saw Erik for a second. Each and every one of them.

- The headmistress did not believe a word of that bullshit

- Samurai Swords is such an underrated song tbh

- Fuck Micke. Fuck August.

Thank you and goodnight.

[badlydrawnmanic]

more stuff from my paint folder under the cut with varying levels of explanation

my owlfolk rogue d&d character as a shitty little baby because baby birds look miserable and it's funny

shut up

a square full of bugs

weird arcade cabinet thing from a dream i had. i didn't draw it on here but it had sonic underground decals and stuff and as prizes it'd print off stickers and random screenshots from the show that'd come out that side thing. i don't know why but it had a trackball

i was doodling a bunch of critters for some reason. i think it was low-key inspired by @mossworm's art and in my head it was for some kind of critter collection game idea

i forget what this is about but i think it speaks for itself. despite being in the paint folder it was very clearly not drawn in paint

dinosaurs in love

again not a paint drawing but a manic i drew on drawception

tails lost in the sauce (a plant poofed a fuck ton of pollen right in his face and he is not having a good time)

i drew this while sleep deprived and proceeded to break down into a laughing fit. no i don't know what it is and it's called god.png

a miscellaneous character i have named gordy gatorman. he's gay and owns a bakery

the same doodle of my owlfolk rogue plus two more things (she hates everyone)

i don't have an explanation for this one i just thought the belt attached to scourge's coat was stupid (you know this is old because of my "colored lineart only" phase)

i think the original text for this was slightly nsfw but this is funnier actually

"hjpt ;leg.png"

one of my many interpretations of a human sonic, this one leaning more into "grumpy teenager" than anything else. i usually don't draw humans so this is surprisingly nice looking

there's 3 more panels to this but i just wanna acknowledge those sad lobsters in the dirty ass tank at the grocery store. they looked so sad and i always wanted to take them home

it me

me and my @kinslee-the-normal-human's oc. we used to rp a lot and they'd get into all sorts of bullshit with mr. tall echidna always being like i told you this would happen and being generally upset about it but his teeny tiny girlfriend could not care less. this time it was about vampires but he's just vibing

one of my ocs just kinda turns into fire when he goes super and i thought the idea of his clothes burning off was hilarious

hard to explain but my friend made an au where like every possible fusion of two characters that could exist did exist all at once in a weird little sci-fi society and we roleplayed it a ilttle bit. my main character for it was an amy/manic fusion named pippin and they had anxiety

in the background you can see salyut (he was actually made for this au as a shadow/biolizard fusion), maroon (a shadow/knuckles fusion), and... man i forget his name but he was a sonic/shadow fusion. the character in the second to last panel is a mephiles/tikal fusion who was part of the evil sci-fi government or whatever and she scared pippin a lot. i might repurpose pippin because they're very cute

@kinslee-the-normal-human told me that you can tell if someone is a furry based on how they draw dogs so i drew a dog and she said i was a furry based on how i drew the back legs. she was right but i don't get the test lmao

one of my ocs sort of got sucked into amy's family unit and he's in a sort of younger-ish sibling role to her (despite being older) and she makes him very happy and he loves her very much. they are friends :)

pov you are talking to razor on discord and he is happy to see you

this is called "scourge peep.png". i don't know why it's holding a knife

me and my friend drew pokemon from memory at a sleepover. i think from the different art styles you can tell which ones i drew nsjkdgs

i was playing the sims and made a version of gyro on it and he just kept getting abducted by aliens. i couldn't stop him

10 Anti LO Asks

(Note: All of these asks are before episode 206 (Season 2 finale) so some may be dated.) 1. Lmao theres like a lil fight in 199 where rachel and her backups seem to be fighting whether to keep drawing athena masc and identical to all male characters or just draw her like a clone of all the other female characters💀 it went back and forth so much

2. I did like Hecate, but Rachel kinda ruined her character. She smacked hades for liking a 19 year old, proceeded to try and match make hades and Persephone and then tell Minthe “I try to help you but you make it so hard” (MA’AM!), was there when Thanatos was dropped off to be Hades’  son/employee and did not help there. Like she was presented to be this cool great character, but now it’s all about hades and Persephone end game and nothing else matters. I don’t even think Hades did anything to prove to Hecate he wasn’t a gross old man. 

3. Rachel is really like "um these are Hades' emotional support slaves"

4. Kinda seems like RS is trying to take notes from the beginning of Riverdale, I mean cmon, your protagonist is “bubbly on the outside but actually so mean >:3 oh wait no that’s just what everyone (including her mother with realistically well founded concerns for her daughter) thinks of her except her morally gray black-obsessed boyfriend with daddy issues

5. PLS why are there now LO fans literally shipping the brothers together (where one obvs has to be genderbent to a girl) and yet still dont see the hypocrisy in it towards the myths rachel is butchering?? so incest is bad and cant be involved in hxp but incest is cool to ship canon brothers together. theyre really having a normal one i guess

6. So to sum up - Perse has a wrath issues that causes her to murder entire village because she cannot control it and her solution is to go into the society pretending nothing happened and hoping it somehow doesn't happen again. While Zeus solution is to separate her from everyone so she won't be able to hurt anyone and make her learn how to control her powers while keeping everyone safe. But he is the jerk here right? Am I understanding correctly?

7. FP Spoilers (Ep 200) //This was such a waste of an episode. Basically it just confirms all of the whole fertility nonsense that's been talked about for several episodes now, like we know that??? I feel like nothing happened in this episode. Just a waste.

8. Have you seen now LO fans are blaming KRONOS for all of Hades actions? I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Rachel did that, she would rather HxP be mindless puppets to far more interesting characters than actually, you know, have personality and flaws. Why write characters at this point? They're just paper dolls at this point.

9. Rachel can you bring back the random narrator you had in the Daphne episode because I don't know what's going on and you need some omnipresent voice to try and make sense of it.

10. Remember kids, Rachel claimed Ares and Aphrodite is her “second favorite ship” and she butchered them for the sake of her neon pink self insert and her Mads dyed blue rip off. Either she’s lying or she truly is that bad of writer that she can’t make anything NOT about her DDLG kink ship. Regardless, this is shockingly bad writing and it’s weird we’re supposed to find it good over mindnumbingly confusing and lackluster.

If you're up to it, would you be interested in writing a fic where Rooster is stomach sick and tries to power through it at the Hard Deck and ultimately ends up throwing up on the ground, leading to him getting really embarrassed? If not, it's okay! I love your writing :)

I'm not currently taking Rooster requests BUT this was so up my alley I literally went oH FUCK and took this straight to Pooty where I then proceeded to dump ideas on her and then I remembered I had this sitting in my drafts!

It's my OC, Dee, and Rooster again, I'm on a bit of a kick because I'm finally nearly ready to post the prologue. If you wanted to write Hangster please let me know I'm in such a Hangster mood too!

(it's the Rooster is a slut [affectionate] agenda)

This was a little more graphic than usual but I've been playing it safe lately so y'know. Do what you will with that information.

This is a nice little filler fic while I finish up chest infection fic and also that tumblr prompt that I got overly attached to lmao.

-

Dee's parents had flown in a couple of days prior and now that they had recovered from the flight, they were insisting that Dee and Bradley take a night for themselves, child-free. The moment the Daggers caught wind of this they were inviting Dee out (oh, yeah, Rooster can come too) and they collectively met at the Hard Deck. Jake and Sav were also having a kid-free night, courtesy of their next-door neighbour. Penny and Maverick waved from the bar but didn't interrupt the Daggers when they reunited at the pool table.

Dee smacked Rooster's ass as she made her way over to Bob, pausing to give him a hug before turning to Phoenix and they fell into easy conversation. Rooster ambled over to the game of pool happening at that moment, snatching a cue from where Jake was leaning on it.

"Ah, sorry, Bagman, didn't see you there," he said without a hint of apology in his tone. The other aviator went to complain when he smirked.

"Kid-free night and you're here? You poor bastard."

"I nearly stayed home myself, Dee deserves a night on her own and I was falling asleep while she was getting ready."

"Sav tried on at least three pairs of jeans before we left the house; I'm convinced they were all exactly the same."

Mickey burst out laughing.

"Man, you have no idea. My mom once took me shopping with her and I'm telling you, she held up the exact same thing in both her hands and asked me which I thought was better."

"Try having daughters," Rooster grumbled but deep down, he adored his girls and his son.

"Amen to that, man," Reuben agreed, clinking his beer against Rooster's when Penny appeared and placed a cold one in his hand.

"First one's on the house. Good to see you out and about, Rooster," she said as she walked back to the bar. Rooster thanked her, taking a sip.

-

"How are you going, Dee; is it still chaos?"

Phoenix rounded the table Dee and Savannah were sitting on, bumping Sav's shoulder playfully as she joined them. Dee shrugged, picking at her beer bottle label.

"It's the same as it generally is; Roo's still asleep when I get up, and he's getting the kids ready for bed by the time I get home. By the time we're even thinking about alone time, we're both exhausted. I feel bad; he's home, and we haven't-"

"-oh, good, I don't think either of you want another baby right now," Phoenix deadpanned and Savannah snorted, rolling her eyes. Dee laughed.

"You're definitely right, but I miss him. There's this thing he does, with his-"

"-I'm gonna stop you right there, I can barely look at him straight after his and Jake's antics at Thanksgiving," Savannah said, a grimace on her face. She and Jake had also chosen to go kid-free for the night. Their eight month old, Ronan, was with their neighbour for the night. The ladies all burst out laughing, Dee glancing over at her husband. He was looking at her too and when she raised an eyebrow Bradley winked. She snorted, winking back and turning back to her conversation with Sav, Phoenix and now Bob who had ambled over.

-

The next time she glanced up, she took one look at Rooster across the bar and put her water down. Bradley's face was flushed and his flannelette shirt was hanging on a nearby stool. He was talking to Javy and Reuben, leaning on the pool table, but there was something off that Dee couldn't decipher from so far away. She nudged Mickey's arm, gently interrupting the banter with Jake and Natasha.

“Are you fucking- oh, shit. I gotta go, but thanks for the chat. I miss hanging out with you guys.”

“You too, Dee. Have a good night.”

Mickey tuned back into the conversation with Jake and Natasha, letting Dee make her way across the bar to her husband. He wrapped his arms around her, leaning into her smaller frame.

“Ready to go home?” She asked into his tank top. When he shook his head she glanced up at him in question; she'd gotten the vibe he'd had enough when he'd passed her at one point and passed her his half-full beer.

“I feel like I’m going to throw up.”

Dee pulled away, brushing a hand through Rooster’s hair and frowning.

“Right now? Are you drunk? Look, I get we've been lightweights since the kids came, but-”

“-we should- fuck, I'm-"

“Okay, c’mon.”

Dee took him by the hand, leading him out of the Hard Deck. Penny and Maverick, still sitting at the bar together, waved at the couple in passing. Maverick’s brows furrowed at his godson’s condition but Dee shook her head.

"Bit off more than he could chew; gonna go puke on some shrubs outside and he'll be ready to go again."

As the couple walked toward the front doors Dee put a hand on Bradley's back, grimacing.

"You’re running a fever,” she whispered to him as they neared the Bronco.

“Wouldn’t be surprised.”

His face was pale, a hint of green, and Dee steered him to the nearest bush.

“Alright, there you go,” she said softly, running a hand over his shoulders. Rooster leaned on the wooden barrier, wincing when his stomach cramped. At least he’d made it outside. He whimpered, throwing up again but with a little less intensity.

The first time was always the worst. Dee could remember it all too well from her morning sickness days.

“I know, honey. Slow down, I don’t want you to tear your throat.”

“I can’t,” Rooster croaked from where he was still trying to catch his breath after the last bout. When he caught a break he scrubbed at his nose, going to wipe his mouth with the end of his shirt. Dee stopped him, pulling a baby wipe from a travel pack in her purse.

“Still wiping vomit, even when we don’t have the kids with us,” she snorted. Rooster suddenly looked guilty.

-

“Baby, I’m so sorry, I totally ruined it-“

“-what are you talking about? I spent time with the team, Mav showed me some of your baby pictures, and we socialised with people who are taller than our belly buttons. Ugh, the fact that I said that- I feel like I've been watching Bluey through my eyelids on repeat.”

He snorted. Dee helped him upright, sighing as she swiped at his moustache. Her hand snuck up the back of his shirt, feeling for the fever she’d thought she felt earlier. Sure enough he was burning against her palm and she frowned.

“Did you feel sick earlier? How long have you had a fever?”

“I dunno, I thought I just didn’t eat enough before drinking.”

“Okay, let’s get you home. Are you going to projectile again?”

“I’d just like to say a blanket apology now, because we both know the next 24 hours are not going to be pretty.”

“Ha! That’s cute.”

Dee tossed the baby wipe she’d used on her husband into the nearest bin, grimacing as she pointed at it.

“Why couldn’t you have hurled in that?”

“I. Uh. Panicked?”

“Good for you, Roo, meanwhile I’ve gotta find something to rinse the puke off the ground with.”

“It’s literally the puke spot for the Hard Deck. Jake was there last month; even poor Bob made an appearance once.”

The colour drained out of his face again and Dee pushed him back toward the bush when he put a hand on his stomach, the other held to his mouth in disgust. Dee moved her hand firmly between his shoulder blades, making sure he wasn't going to fall on his ass.

“Okay… there you go, honey.”

-

With Bradley sitting in the Bronco, very quiet for someone who made her laugh so hard she'd recycled her coffee into her cup on more than one occasion, Dee made her way back into the Hard Deck. Sav had found her husband and was sitting on his lap, undoubtedly whispering something very not-safe-for-hard-deck in his ear by the way he blushed. Dee had never seen Jake Seresin blush and quite frankly, she kind of hoped she never had to again. It was unsettling.

"Penny, hey. Listen, can I ask a favour- oh. Uh. Thanks."

Penny handed Dee a plastic bucket as well as paper towels, winking.

"I've done this a couple of times. You can keep the bucket, I've started buying them in bulk."

"You're a car-saver, Penny!" Dee called before jogging back through the crowd.

By the time she got back to the Bronco, Rooster was hanging out of the door but he hadn't actually been sick. He glanced up at Dee and winced.

"So... not the ending you were expecting to tonight?"

"Hey; my parents are here a week and a half. I'm not pissed; well, I'm not now that I know you're not drunk."

"I wasn't- pass that here."

Rooster reached for the bucket Dee had, tucking it into his arms.

"Alright, you hold on to that, let's get you home. Good thing I can drive the Bronco."

The Bronco only really came out when it was the two of them; other than that, it followed Rooster around on his deployments if possible. Now that he was permanently stationed out of North Island and Dee and the kids had moved to San Diego, most of the time the Bronco was a daily commute vehicle.

-

By the time they were pulling into the driveway, the house quiet because all three kids were with Dee's parents at the airbnb they were staying in. Dee unbuckled her seatbelt and reached over, detaching Rooster from the bucket.

"Pass it over, babe, I don't want to see you until you're in the shower."

As unwell as he was, Rooster glanced over and winked at Dee, holding a fist to his mouth again.

"Bucket-"

"-oh, fuck, gotcha-"

Dee passed the bucket back, rubbing a hand between Bradley's shoulder blades.

"Let it out," she sighed, resting her shoulder against the steering wheel to keep an eye on her husband. When he had control of his stomach again, she took the bucket and got out of the Bronco, taking the bucket with her to unlock the door. Once Rooster was inside she directed him to the downstairs shower and went into the laundry to start clean up.

I love Until Dawn but unfortunately I only like The Quarry.

gonna put spoilers incase ya yet to see the game, I suggest it. It’s a good watch but the ending is a tad-bit unfavorable. Shoulda stuck with the police interview, not a fucking length boring podcast...

Straight up, I absolutely enjoyed trying to understand the meanings of the Tarot Cards, I loved trying to imagine what would’ve happened had ya done this rather then that ya’know? What if they grabbed the fireworks? What if they went down this way rather then that way.

I had such a fun time piecing together the story and the clues.

But man, mystery and solving things aside, the lack of character exposure and development leaves a foul taste in my mouth.

Let’s start this off by talkin bout Nick.

From the play-through I watched(Jack’s) Nick was more or less dropped after the pool shit-show(maybe half way threw the game?) like, he explodes and then dips. We see him locked up on the Hacketts basement but what happened to him after the power goes out?

I get that you can’t really have us play him, he’s the enemy now but I just don’t feel like we really got the chance to play or interact with him. He was more or less incapacitated after his attack so there’s that too.

Just feels like Nick didn’t get awhile lotta time and attention given to him and he reminds me of Matt form Until Dawn. I get that he was essentially a Plus one being Emily’s BF but that man got like no screen time. He also reminds me of Jessica, home girl was asleep for like the majority of the game lmao.

Second off, Kaitlyn. She was also severely underused in my humbled opinion.

The way the game presented her, she just seem so full of potential, the way she put Jacob and Nick in the ground with her marksmen(?) skill's, how she often took charge of the situation, the fact that this girl jumped form a hanging car and landed back first on tires and proceeded to get up like nothing happened ?

They were playing her up to be the final girl and yet? She was just kinda there with Dylan against Caleb.

She’s like Sam tbh. Both feel like the final girls, both very bad assed and both reconfirm my *half hand flip*

Third off- ✨Ryan✨

He’s got to be my favorite but man, it just felt like there was something else to him, sorta like Josh.

He just felt like he knew what was going on or at the very least knew something that the others weren’t aware of. Considering how close he was to Chris, I wouldn’t have been shocked if he clued Ryan into the situation. Not outright tell him bout the werewolf’s but maybe that there’s creatures around here.

But who knows, maybe this is my over-critical mind thinkin that everything is sus and mistaking an awkward boy for something that he’s not. Also Him and Dylan ftw

Fourth- Emma. I don’t like her

No. Nope. Nuh. Not for me.

I just, no, She’s kinda manipulative and I don’t vibe with that. I get that Jacob is still in love with her and wants to stay with her and she doesn’t want to stay together. I can respect that, long-distant relationships aren’t for everyone so good on her for voicing her reasons. 

But there is absolutely no fucking need to string that boy on for that long, to keep flip-floppin and givin him hope. That's just not it girl. 

Also low-key thought that Emma and Abi were gonna be a item :P

Sixth of all Dylan is a fuckin king omg.

This man, i swear to god. He’s actual pretty damn smart and brave for telling Ryan to chop his hand off and being aware that there's an infection spreading when Nick is bite.  

He’s good “comedic relief”, quite funny and I like how he vibes with Ryan and  Kaitlyn. Gives off Chris vibes. 

I thinks he’s neat. 

Seventh goes to or girl Ash- I mean Abi. 

Lack of time and attention tbh. sounds/acts like Ashley. 

Kinda disappointed. 

Eight is Mister “needs to snap outta his fucking trance” Himbo Jacob.

He’s the jock(cough cough Mike cough cough) and just radiates himbo energy. 

Jacob, please im begging you, get over Emma. You’ll be better off I swear!!

Now on to various other rambles- 

Travis Hackett is Flame-thorough guy, could say the whole fam is but we all know how that fairs. 

I was also gonna cry my eyes out if Max died and Laura is pretty the final girl too. 

Also, don’t lie to me-the werewolf’s are just reskinned Wendigos. I get that they didn’t want to stick the whole fuzzy-wuzzy furry werewolf’s but surely, just surely, they could’ve made them just a bit more werewolf looking?

They all looked slimy and smooth, bit of fur here would’ve done some good at making it look more mangy and viscous. I get that they are all covered in blood and gore but, they just look like slimy Wendigos. 

I’m sure y’all could’ve guessed my stance on the end-credit scene but I’m sO DISAPPOINTEDIN THE LACK OF A GROUP REUNION. AH, there should've been tears shed for lost friends or tons of hugs and happy/awkward/flirty convos bout the whole damn night. but no, no, we got a podcast.

I get that it’s ties into the start with Ryan and the whatnot but we were robbed i tell you, ROBBED!!!

I’d give this like a 6.5 outta 10 tbh. It did keep me interested, loved all the clues and details despite some being super obvious(Dog boy...), Thought that Eliza was a good “replacement” for the totems and i enjoyed her but thought that her stroy kinda fell flat. You’d think she’d come out and like terrorize ya for your actions but no, she just threatens you. 

Honestly thought that Mama Hackett was gonna play a bigger role but i was so shocked when Jack blasted her face off lmao. Good realism tho, got the chance to shoot someone why not take it? why wait. 

#I just wanted to air out my thoughts #i enjoyed this game #will rewatch for fun #The Quarry #Abi Blyg #Dylan Lenviv #Emma Mountebank #Jacob Custos #Kaitlyn Ka #Nick Furcillo #Ryan Erzahler

Some of my favorite band kid antics from this past year cause im feeling nostalgic

One of my fellow trumpets in jazz band, a freshman, wrote some really dumb (affectionate) lyrics to one of our jazz pieces that didnt have any. It was basically just the title of the song repeated a few times with some related lyrics, to the tune of the trumpet part. He emailed it to the creator of the song for shits and grins, but the creator said he liked it and approved!

Some of our designated funnymen hid Kung Fu Panda mcdonalds toys around our band director's office

One of said designated funnymen, a Junior tuba, got obsessed, along with his friends (well, friends is kind of an understatement, they were more like a group of the trope of 'its not gay if i kiss the homies goodnight', aka just gay tender enough to make you wonder. but it was still pretty funny), with playing chess, both online and irl, for the last few months of school. He proceeded to sit our band director down after school before our Prism concert and beat him atleast five times

The first day of the Prism concert, after school while we were waiting till it started at six, one of our mellows (the freshman who made the jazz lyrics btw) and one of our senior euphoniums (the senior class had already had their last day by this point) had what they called an "alfredo off". Each of them brought in alfredo pasta they had made and had our band director judge which one was best. The senior had made like, two pounds of it that she brought in big aluminum tins so everyone had some. she put like a pound of cheese in it and it was so buttery and good.....

Unfortunately the mellow jazz lyric freshman was disqualified, as his mom's recipe included jar alfredo mix which was apparently not counted as homemade 😞

I lost my voice a good few times from shouting chants very loudly at football games and pep rallies

The second day of waiting after school for the Prism concert saw one of our trombones (I say, as if there was more than one trombone during marching season this year (our band was very small) lmao) in my year bringing in a gallon of milk to mix with nesquik syrup, because apparently our band director had never had chocolate milk before. Apparently one of the trombone guy's friends had won a nesquik-themed gift basket in a raffle of some kind, but the friend didnt want it and gave it to him. It had like little metal spoons with the rabbit on them and everything. And, yes, they drank it while also playing chess

One of the skits for Prism was a 'Viking trio' where two of our horn freshman (including the jazz lyrics alfredo one, yes) did a duel complete with plastic swords and viking helmets and fake beards, using their french horns as shields, while our band captain/horn and high brass section leader sang some sort of opera (her voice is absolutely beautiful btw).

During one of the many rehearsals done the evenings before the actual concert, they were doing the viking skit but the two dueling weren't really paying attention to where they were on stage, and jazz lyric alfredo guy ended up backing up very quickly.... into one of the walls at the side of the stage. It was all good, the back of his head just hurt for a little bit, but we had alot of fun joking around about it and whenever he messed up on stage/behind the wings he would be like "its not my fault dude, ive got brain damage!"

Speaking of that, the Viking trio... trio got a large amount of the band speaking in southern accents around the end of the year. All of our french horns, including them, in concert band played trumpet in jazz band.... meaning i had to stand next to them. They had been joking around and getting on eachother jokingly the whole year (to the point that our band director had to tell them to pay attention several times.... sigh), and at this point the two freshman (including lyric alfredo guy) had a bit where they were a couple and spoke in southern accents (one of those kinda 'bromance'.... things.... at the band awards night at the end of the year they won "most dynamic duo" and stared lovingly into each other's' eyes while the picture was taken), mostly calling eachother "sweetpea" and "honeybun"

So eventually, the southern accent thing rubbed off on our band captain the one who sung opera in the viking trio. It's important to note that our jazz band setup had the trumpets in back against the wall behind the trombones, and at the other side of the line of us (we had six trumpets including me, i was at the other side of the line near the corner of the wall with the other person from the horn section, as we both played the 4th part and would often share a stand) was the drum set. One day, the band captain/horn/jazz trumpet/jazz vocalist grabbed one of the spare drum sticks that had fallen on the ground... and started calling it a 'bone'. This lead to several times where when the other two of the trio wouldn't shut up in jazz band she would threaten to... bone them. and then they would start referring to her as. (sigh) the boner... as she would. bone them. i wish i was making this up.

This very funny feuding bit (i will admit that i cracked up laughing on several occasions) lasted for a while. and eventually it just started rubbing off on quite a few people, including me (bringing me back to my southern roots, as i claimed.... keep in mind we live in florida). I look back on it fondly, even though it was hard to listen/focus on what our band director was saying from the very back of the setup while they were also laughing and talking for most of the time.... 🙃. But like I said, it was all in good fun

In addition the funnyman junior tuba who got his group of 'sweetpeas'... by which i mean friends... into chess, also fell victim to the southern accents and feuded several times with the other horn freshman from the viking trio over the jazz lyric alfredo freshman.... it was like the world weirdest non-romantic polycule

In jazz band the tuba guy played trombone.... by which i mean he had only recently started playing it in order to be in jazz band. There were several times over the course of the year where he would flat out refuse to play a certain part in some of the songs because they were out of his range... our band director didn't get too mad because that was just how the guy is... like, "oh, classic [tuba guy's name]!" Our band director still made him play the parts he could (and some of the parts he couldn't yet, with some pushing).

He campaigned several times for an opportunity to play 'jazz tuba', to the point where he specifically remembered, from like the very beginning of the year, that one of the times he asked for it our director offhandedly said something "I'll let you do for one song this year but that's it". He reminded our director of this before our big end-of-the-year jazz festival performance, and though he was very sceptical and didn't remember saying it at all (several of us remembered and backed up the tuba guy's claim, even though it was definitely something that was said just to make him shut up about it), our director did let him play tuba in one of our pieces during the festival and prism.

That being said, he sat right in front of me in jazz band, and during class he would turn around and push my stand down. I cannot describe the amount of rage he inspires in me, and I threatened him several times over the course of the year (all in good fun, but it was. super. annoying.). Unfortunately nothing fazes him ever, but he did eventually stop later in the year (once our band captain noticed when she wasn't threatening to 'bone' other members of her section)

One of my absolute favorite moments: during jazz band, I had asked our band director which version of Pokemon Scarlet/Violet he was getting (since he already talked about preordering it), and he was talking about the version specific pokemon, yadda yadda yadda, and then I yelled out that I would get scarlet cause the professor lady is hot, and everyone burst out laughing

One of the trumpet freshman in concert band started slipping pencils into our director's pocket. and then saying "check your pockets" to him during class. Though he only did it a handful of times, it was enough to make our director paranoid when he randomly said it during class

Not necessarily band related, but another one of our trumpet freshman showed me that, somehow, around the very strict district website blocking, that he and his friends had pirated 6 of the main series fnaf games. Apparently they used the big bulkier computers in the game and sim room and just emailed it to their school laptops. Just sharing bc i am very impressed and proud

#cherry chortles #band kids #marching band #concert band #jazz band #its v fun being in band. and painful (marching season) and stressful (also marching season but specifically having to play pieces by memory #i was appointed head librarian this year!!! woohoo!! #sure maybe its literally the most important job in the band because we literally all rely on music. #and sure maybe there is so fucking much to do in the library because so much is unorganized from this past year #and the solo & ensemble music hasn't been combed over for what pieces qualifie to be performed and judged for. literal years #but i can do it!!! 😤😤💯👊 #long post #i guess lol #cherrys band shenanigans
