#and thatll wrap up the month!

[desire-mona]

dps boys hcs! this has been requested of me! lets make it modern bc thatll be fun

- todd absolutely DESPISES "booktok" and its addiction to smut. can go on a VERY long rant abt how only reading things with sex scenes is, in fact, a porn addiction.

- knox has tried on many occasions to become an influencer, failing every single time and blaming it on the algorithm or whaver

- neil, type of mother fucker to not be on social media like at all. has one private instagram that he posts on maybe twice a year, and has a tiktok only to watch the videos todd intermittently sends him.

- ^^^ followed immediately by a text saying "i sent you a tiktok go look at it" which always sparks a mini argument about whether or not its easier to just save the video and text it to him. goes nowhere every time.

- meeks has fashion taste that makes him look insufferable, band tee's and the worst jeans you ever did see, exclusively. also modern meeks would have clear glasses frames.

- saw someone say charlie would vape, id like to add to that. has a COLLECTION of elf bars, its vast, its colourful, it's annoying, it's turning his coughs wet.

- pitts was a fast fashion guy for a total of 6 months before finding out all the shit about how unethical the industry is. didnt get rid of any of those clothes bc thats wasteful but he IS fighting for his life whenever anyone looks at his wardrobe.

- cameron is a BIG analog horror fan, local 58, walten files, fnaf tapes, thats his jam. can we popularise cam being a big horror fan in general bc im so attached to that hc. horror cam i love u.

- all the boys have a life360 circle (enforced by cam and pitts due to charlie's horrendous reckless driving) and todd CONSTANTLY needs to be yelled at the charge his phone.

- neil's phone is ANCIENT, had the same one for nearly a decade, and its evident. has a bigass crack right down the middle, the back is shattered and held together with tape, a phone case, and a dream. theres marks from shit burning into the screen, most notably a rectangle in the bottom corner from the billions of facetime calls with todd that ultimately set his phone on fire every time.

- todd is secretly a grade A yapper but ONLY in digital form. his online presence is VAST, but impressively anonymous. has a very active substack, letterboxd, poetry tumblr, and even started his own blog. no, not a tumblr blog, a blog blog.

- charlie's car is decked out in the most idiotic add ons that you can think of. comically large mirror dice, a bumper sticker that says "honk if you want me bad", stupid car door lights that project a photo of jimmy fallon onto the ground when u open them, the whole 9 yards. took neil, pitts, and cameron 20 minutes to talk him out of getting flame decals (as a bit.)

- knox refuses to play any other videogame besides GTA, which he plays concerningly often. if ur having trouble reaching him then odds are hes on GTA. its the only hobby of his that his parents know about. christmas is tough for the overstreets.

- meeks is well aware of his general ☝️🤓 demeanour so he started making jokes about it before anyone else can. any time he says anything remotely smart sounding then he MUST do the voice and put up a finger. it became a force of habit and he did it while talking to a teacher once, he left the room mortified.

- pittsie lives on spotify, he has a playlist for every possible emotion, over 3k liked songs, and 200k+ minutes listened when wrapped season rolls around. additionally he does every spotify stat game available, and forced the boys to download a spotify activity widget thing. (WHAT DO YALL KNOW ABT AIRBUDS ‼️‼️ add me @ monahatesya xoxo)

- cam loves to make jokes about DARE and the "this is ur brain on drugs" ads but he is, in fact, the main demographic of said ads. said this before, saying it now, will most definitely say it again, he is beyond susceptible to peer pressure. marijuana isnt a gateway drug for everyone but it certainly is for him.

bonus! chris and keating! just for you!

- chris is avoiding the lesbian masterdoc purely out of fear. not out of fear of being gay, but out of fear of the sheer amount of subsequent other things she'll likely also have to find out about herself.

- keating spends an inordinate amount of time on youtube, which nobody actually expects. big video essay fan, imagine the shock from the boys when he pulls up youtube for a lesson and he's halfway thru the 4 hour iBinged iCarly video. was previously a james somerton fan but considering... the james somerton part.. hes now a defunctland loyalist.

#desire mona #WHOO #i successfully remembered all the hcs that got deleted please clap #i forgot how fun these types of posts are #i luuuvvvv getting specific with it #also congrats swifties on the new album release personally i very much dislike her (for the carbon emission reasons not the misogyny reason #) but im glad yall are eating good #dead poets society #neil perry #todd anderson #charlie dalton #knox overstreet #steven meeks #gerard pitts #richard cameron #chris noel #john keating #banger

Some ideas for you! Take your pick!

Gray frequents the infirmary the most. In one of my ideas lately, after thinking about iced shell, maybe ice make makes the body a bit more…prone to cracking? Maybe he bruises easy and gets a lot of head wounds. It’s why he’s always in bandages longer. I like the idea of Porlyusica getting sick of him.

Team Natsu/the guild/slayers taking care of him, even when he doesn’t realise it. (Against pervs, against himself, maybe people are a bit racist (with him being not from Fiore).

Gray gets sad sometimes and dissociates.

Gray has night terrors so he has sleeping pills, but on missions he also has caffeine tablets to keep him awake so he doesn’t have terrors around them. Safe to say, they aren’t happy when they find this.

Lucy asks Gray about where he’s from, traditions etc, and the guild realises he might be homesick so they secretly try to learn things for him. (Over the years they’ve picked up swear words (Gray doesn’t realise he’s doing it and they’ve never told him))

Gray’s actually quite touch starved. His body temperature is cold so most people stay away/ don’t touch him (but don’t realise they’re doing it). The only one who can stand is Natsu because of his magic. Maybe it gets worse after becoming a slayer.

…also do you take spicy requests?

you cant just give me all these amazing concepts and tell me to pick☹️ i will do a little for all of them if it kills me

Also yes! i absolutely do take nsfw requests! feel free to ask me anything! im surprised it took so long to ask me that tbh

there is a lot here so vv

1.

* Hes the single reason why the guild infirmary is always having to restock

* Due to Grays multiple usages of iced shell some of his body did turn to ice, most sections of his bones, it looks like a normal bones but it acts like ice, which means hes more likely to break a bone

* unfortunately, its not like a normal broken bone for obvious reasons. itll splinter and have hairline cracks all over the bones before it breaks.

* It takes less time to heal than a normal break, he just has to get it wrapped and limit his usage of his magic so it can ‘heal’ (as in, ice it over again) the breaks and cracks. It takes less time to heal and also less pressure to break, win lose situation tbh

* Which is also why head wounds are especially dangerous for him, skull fractures are more common for him than anyone would like, which is to say any at all

* His external body temperature is low and causes him to bruise like a peach, getting a friendly slap on the back can cause him to bruise for weeks, especially from Erza

* bro hasnt gone a day without a bruise in like ten years

* Hes been dragged to Porlyusica so many times now that anytime she sees him (on the field, in her office, even completely out of context and hes not visibly injured) its like second nature to check him out first

* if she could go a month, or even just two weeks! without seeing him she might consider changing her views on humanity (probably not but its the thought that counts)

* Also Gray has small sections of what people think is frostbite on his hands and feet. It doesnt hurt or limit him at all but theyre there, showed up some time post devil slayer magic

* ALSO! His blood runs slower and is darker due to his low body temperature, causes him only the vaguest of problems but its a thing (this is common in most powerful ice wizards)

2.

* Gray likes to pretend hes good at taking care of himself, but hes not hes really not

* Luckily he has a lot of nosy and protective friends thatll do it for him (in their own ways)

* Natsu literally temperature exploding some guys glass at a bar when he got wayyyy too friendly and handsy with Gray

* they were kicked out but he was really proud of himself

* Rogue drawing shadows towards Gray if he needs to sleep and its too bright, or Sting creating a warm light beam when its dark out and Gray wants to embrace his inner cat and sleep in a sunbeam

* Wendy checking him over first bc she knows hes one of the people who wouldnt ask for help if he was injured

* hes had multiple people physically remove him from fights/training sessions because he was visibly pushing himself way too hard

* Part of the reason Gray learned Fioren so fast was because he was sick of people looking at him like he was stupid for not speaking ‘right’

* he mentioned this to the little slayer group they got goin on and from then on out they were like, hella hyper vigilant with anything that could make him insecure like that again

3.

* It really scared him the first couple times he did it, it still does. He hates losing time

* It started happening during his time with Ur, he cant remember a lot of it, training, blink, fighting, blink, training, blink, training, you get the idea

* It doesnt happen often, and he tried not to think of it past the point of trying to get it to stop

* Its happens often when hes highly stressed but theres no immediate physical threat, his brain doesnt understand whats going on or why its so stressed but knows he doesnt need to physically protect himself yet so it mentally protects him (if that makes sense), usually when hes alone, or when a threat is gone

* he confided in Erza about this once, and now more times than not when he ‘wakes up’ shes there talking to him

* only part he feels is good about it is that it makes him exhausted and lets him sleep easier

* He doesn’t usually dissociate often, not that he has much of a choice, if he did it wouldnt happen at all, but it was a lot worse when he was younger, his memories of early fairy tail are all blurry and he felt like he was on autopilot even when he was ‘awake’

* he hates it

4.

* After his team found out abt his vast array of pharmaceuticals they were so confused and concerned and probably borderline paranoid, because who needs that many medications for one person??

* Gray had been taking sleeping pills at a high enough dose to let him have a dreamless sleep for so long that most over the counter brands dont actually work on him

* but he kept all the old bottle that didnt work just in case he got desperate to sleep and they suddenly magically worked again

* The caffeine tablets were self explanatory after seeing all the sleeping meds, but he also (unwillingly) admitted he takes them on missions so he wouldnt wake them if he had a nightmare, and also for days when they were especially bad so he could go long enough without sleep hed just crash and sleep with no issues. Canr have a nightmare if you dont sleep

* His team was also extremely unimpressed by these explanations

* Erza and Natsu (and also Happy) strong armed him into going to Porlyusica for actual helpful solutions since he refused to go to his actual doctor

* While Lucy and Wendy disposed of the full fucking pharmacy (seriously, he coulda started a business or smth) he had in his bedroom

* For some odd reason he felt lighter and less moody when he was on actual helpful medication and was getting genuine rest

* how strange

* and if his team checks his house for another pharmacy in the making thats nobodies business but theirs

* Also Erza tried to ban Gray from caffeine while on a quest , or at least limit it, but he looked at her like she was absolutely batshit crazy to the point she got embarrassed and had to retract the ban

* But she will tie him to the bed to make him sleep on quests if she has to

5.

* The first time Lucy asked where Gray was from was before Galuna, he ended up giving her a shady answer and redirecting the question to her (reminder, before galuna, before phantom lord) which she ended up also being a bit cagey about so she let it go

* But Lucy is nosy (endearing) by nature, so she asked if he had any different holiday type traditions sometime after Galuna, and to the surprise of, well, literally everyone, he did and gave examples

* which lead down a rabbit hole of the guild fretting a bit abt how to make him comfortable (even though hed been with them for a decade) bc he mentioned he used to be really homesick the first couple years, and sometimes still is

* Most the guild still had no clue where he was from so they were really just running in circles for awhile

* Levy tried to figure it out from the time he accidentally dropped, what she assumed to be colorful curse words, random foreign language bits

* didnt really work but she tried

* so for months he was bombarded with ‘subtle’ questions about his hometown and its culture, which got shut down most the time

* Thats not to say he didnt give them anything, he gave them enough that they were incorporated into existing traditions and holidays they already celebrated

* it was a very sweet gesture that Gray absolutely did not tear up at, so shut up—

6.

* Gray is the most touch starved fool on the planet. ive always loved the idea of him liking touch a lot

* He grew up in a pretty affectionate family, his parents were always around to ruffle his hair, or hug, or hold his hand, or carry him, they were just very physically affectionate and he enjoyed it

* With it made him nauseous, guilty really, because Ur and Lyon were also physically affectionate but it wasnt them, it wasnt his family

* Also it was plain uncomfortable at times, part of learning ice magic was to almost numb himself to cold, but in the beginning numbed him to everything and it became uncomfortable to be touched because it was tingly and it hurt

* Early Fairy Tail he was completely closed off, couldnt stand being touched, didnt want to get cozy and make friends because he planned to leave anyways.

* Ice mages (Fire mages also) temperatures can fluctuate depending on how they feel, for example, if they’re experiencing negative emotions their temperature and the space around them will get colder

* and Gray used to be so angry and upset all the time, and hed just beginning to learn magic so he didnt know how to fix it yet, which caused a lot of discomfort for people.

* People didnt stay around him long because the discomfort of being too cold, and what was he gonna do about it? ask them to come back?? hell no

* So he gained a reputation and people didnt want to disrespect a volatile childs apparent boundaries so they didnt question it

* He was fine with fighting being the only real prolonged touch hed get, totally

* But Natsus got this thing about him that makes him think he can do the impossible, which includes shaking Grays world view and comfort levels

* At some point in their teens Natsu would not let go of the alleged fact that Grays didnt like being touched for some reason, so he did what he does best and pressed the issue

* it ended with Gray being a puddle in his lap while he had a crisis about everything he thought he knew about himself while Natsu celebrated his victory against him

* Its not completely public knowledge but the guild most definitely knows at least a little about how much Gray is touch starved

* he doesnt openly welcome it with open arms but if its happening and he trusts the person hes not gonna say no

* he probably gets a euphoria high from a head pat or smth

* After getting his devil slayer magic is absolutely got worse, having two powerful ice magics, one of which he was still struggling to get the hang of, in one body made it difficult to control the temperature around him, and after long enough people would start shivering if he wasnt careful

* it sucked, totally and completely sucked

* Natsu still remained unbothered and would increase his own temperature to counterbalance Grays, which helped a lot

* he still gets all up in Grays space no matter how much Gray tell him to fuck off, he knows he needs it

Ultraman Decker Series Review

So overall, it's well within my expectations as said before the series even started, I alr talked plenty about how low my expectations were for Decker since Dyna alr wrapped up everything with no loose ends and unlike Tiga, there wasn't much to expand upon in terms of a series, and I then concluded by saying that I intended to see Decker as just something I have to sit through to get to New Gen Gaia in 2023 as that was something that I foresaw had far more potential

(Tho TsuPro might have the same idea as if yall rmb, we got alot of leaks and releases like a whole month or sometimes 2 months earlier than usual for this season, as if they're rushing to get this over and done with to race towards the New Gen 10th Anniversary)

And because I already predicted that there has to be a brand new story written, but based on how the quality of New Gen stories have been, I kept my expectations rather low, especially because back then, we alr knew that the Director for RB was gonna take this

And as predicted, the interesting episodes were mostly the crossover ones, and besides those, i didnt really look forward much to the new weekly episodes, tho with the Dyna one being rather disappointing as I've elaborated extensively back in ep 21

The premise was rather interesting with the time travelling premise but the main meat of that saga, being what the hell is Decker then being left out, which I presume on purpose because I suspect its gonna be another time loop paradox with Dinas and Decker as mentioned yesterday for ep 25 thatll be elaborated upon in the Movie since they've teased it this much

Fight scenes started to get sloppy and anticlimactic nearer to the end with Ginga S-esque knockbacks and fights that's literally last a single finisher from Dynamic Type, and gosh does anyone even remeber the existence of the capsule kaiju at the end? But I really loved how they handled the Trigger crossover, especially Carmerra cause it helps to setup for future cameos

Tho, I must say that it has one of the better penultimate episodes as I pointed out during the ep 24 commentaries

Overall, this was a reasonable attempt at a New Gen Dyna and most definitely an upgrade from RB with far less cringe, mirroring Taguchi's improvement from X to Orb, would probably rank this as a mid tier New Gen series, such that there was nothing really bad about it, but nothing really good about it either, kinda meh

But above all, I'm glad the Decker series is over and done with. Until I realize I have to still get through the Movie + the Regulus Prequel to get to things that I'm ACTUALLY looking forward to, being Blazar and UGF4

(Oh ya since I've been asked about this quite abit, how I judge whether a series is good for me is mainly just how much focus is placed on telling the story of the Ultra itself, not the worldbuilding, which is why I hold Orb is such high regard and which is also why I'm so head over heels for UGF. So in this sense, Decker isn't really my cup of tea for an Ultra series)

And speaking of Taguchi, he's gonna be directing Blazar, so I can't wait to see how much he'll improve from Z and apparently from leaks, he intends to wrap up an AU version of every New Gen Ultra every 2 episodes with the skills he has learnt from Z. And based on leaks, he has alr incorporated some aspects of it.

Otherwise, for the Decker Movie, I think I've said plenty enough about it. I still have really low expectations for what seems to be an Orb Movie 2.0

HOLIDAZE......

so its been awhile since my last entry and well i guess this is were im coming to bitch and complain.... yes i am naturally agressive... anger and aggression is what ive known all my life. my anger and explosive temper are some of my worst qualities..... i dont enjoy this fucking anger that sits inside me like lava in a volcano waiting to erupt.... being the only famale in a texmex home in the late 90s early 2000s wasnt the coolest lol.... while my parents essentially were strict, along with "spankings" being a VEERY COMMON thing in my home. yk spare the rod and spoil the child.... along with my birth father being abusive to my mom and basically neglected the fact that he had a daughter. all made me have this low bs tolerator, i am blunt yes i come off as harsh.. mostly bc i say the shit no one wants to say bc yk i cant give constructive criticism unless its wrapped in bows surgar coated in easy to swallow bs water.... and i dont have the care to want to wrap a pig in makeup and a bow... its still a pig w/o wig the right??? i mean.... thats what i think feel free to lmk if im wrong .... sooooooo the point of this is that i get tired of shit like "omg girl this song makes me wanna unblock him" after the fact of they broke up due to cheating... and they broke up over 5 months ago.... like ugh im sorry but not soory stop bringing up old shit and if you want to go do it with someone who gives af enough to swallow the bs sandwich youve served by saying shit like that when yall basically got physical... plus a bunch of other toxic shit... like i cant just sit here and tolerate bs when im trying to cut it outta my life... i mean i could be wrong theres no denying sometimes i go too hard on things especially when i care about someone. i hate the ppl i love being hurt or done wrong. ive been in my share of toxic relationships, i hate the fact that ppl have had the audacity to misused my loved ones and i. i just want to keep them hurting the ways i have wondering why me what did i do to deserve to hurt like that.... bc thats a shitty efeffin way to feel.... so im oming from a place of love but idk... how do i rid my life of bs if i allow those around me to serve it to me daily....

welp other then this... going bsck to wwork has helped me channel my energy to no want to fight but i havevbeen trying to talk thngs out but even then im labeled as the angry latina..... one stereotype thatll take 10x as long to lose as it was to gain.....

[bibbleboo]

god i rly do think the only way im ever gonna be happy or have a life im not miserable dedicating to somebody else is if i find a way to live alone. but i literally dont know if thats possible shdfsdfhs i cant drive i cant do dishes i make $500 a month im like. so fucked and honestly if i wanted to i could probably solve Some of these problems but im not. even given enough time to work on honing my adult skills. 

yall not to sound bitter or whiny but straight up since my early teen years all ive ever known is being forced to take care of other people. i was never given the unconditional care and support system it takes a teen to learn how to grow up without worrying abt failing bc i was too busy being roped into caring for other people and fixing all their problems and they in return would help with my disability issues. so i never Grew from that or rly i grew at a snails pace bc i had to barely squeeze in time to work on myself. all my progress was halted by that and i was just stuck in that spot. cuz like for them its only ever an exchange to accommodate me and anything less is unfair and they just stop doing it. and part of me feels guilty and cant help but feel like, ok how can i expect more than that though. like how can i expect accommodation without balance. ppl need 50/50. but also literally, how am i supposed to take care of myself and grow when i am constantly trying to pay off a debt to others just for existing with needs. 

and then they fucking complain im not doing enough for them or for myself and like i!!!!! ok shit or get off the pot then!!! i WANT to do this im just scared if i fail yall wont take me back in bc i stopped being ur fucken slave and then im gonna go back to 11 yr old me attempting sui.ci/de twice bc thats how i look at rock bottom apparently and i dont trust her!!! and its YOUR GUYS FAULT LIKE.... i love my family but . they ruined a lot of shit for me with this fucked up cycle. telling me ‘you just need to push yourself’... when do i have the time when im playing ur fuckin mommies. literally. where am i expected to pull the time or strength or energy or motivation . fuck off like. im needy bc yall didnt give me enough time to learn not to be and i feel like intentionally or not part of it was to keep me around to help them out like uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh i hate this oh my goddddd yall didnt give me the tools to be an adult and now just to escape u im gonna have to jump the shark with Nothing and hope i dont end up homeless or forever fucked in bad credit debt land , while knowing if i got evicted or smth i would literally right away try to kms , again because i waSNT GIVEN PROPER CHANCES TO FAIL OR SUCCEED OR LEARN BC I WAS TOO BUSY KEEPING YALL FROM FAILING LIKE I----- AAAAAHH WHATT DID U EXPECTTTttTTTTTTTT i wanna scream. i never wanted to be a hyper dependent idiot that asks for this much w.o being able to return the favor well enough but yall didnt give me the fucking care i needed to learn how to do anything else so good luck w/o me babes when i figure a way out of here xoxo . but no honestly part of what pisses me off most tho is that when i leave they WILL be able to figure it out, theyll be angry and struggle a little at first but theyll adapt. i rly might not be able to figure this out, itd be my first time adapting to relying on myself and filling Only my needs. its so ufcking wildly unfair i just wanna cry and punch somebody

sdjska yeS SOPH!!💙💙 I AM LIVING FOR FLUFFY OIKAWA STUFF CONSTANTLY!!

ngl this got kinda self indulgent bc of these past days...

also this took exactly a month, umM SORRY FOR THE WAIT BUT I’M PROUD OF IT!!!

A Day Half Alone

Blankly staring at the bright screen ahead of you, you felt bored with every inch of your body. The feeling of something missing was lingering inside you, and it was paining you to be left alone, even if was only for a couple hours.

You felt your body sink into the plush material of your bed. The soft blankets enveloping you in their warmth. Though, you wanted to be in his warmth right now.

 As the T.V played, you thought about how much you'd missed the feeling of his arms around you, and how he'd gently play with your hair.

 Surely, Oikawa would get home from practice soon. As the evening drew in and the sky faded from it's normal blue to a softer purple, you though back on a conversation from the other day.

 ♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢

 "You should really take a break y/n.", Oikawa spoke, with a tone, sweeet and soft as silk. "I don't want you  to be like me and overwork your self", he continued on.

 "But-", you started, but were cut off by a pair of soft lips meeting with yours. Trying to protest and soon realizing it was futile, you gave into the kiss, cherishing every second of it.

 Remembering that the both of you need to breathe, you both regrettably parted from each other. Your head was soon gently tilted upwards and you were met with a soft gaze. 

"C'mon, take the day off tomorrow, and we can spend the weekend together, I promise." 

♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢

 Any second now. 

You were practically dying from the anticipation and from being left alone. You settled for holding onto a pillow and lipping through every single channel.

After a hour or so, there was a knock at the front door. Was he finally back?! Almost tripping on the floor from how fast you got up, you continued to run to the door, wanting to see his face again.

Opening the door, you caught a glimpse of a white and teal jacket, before you were immediately pulled into a tight hug. Instantly giving in, you focused on every detail in this moment. 

The way his arms wrapped around you made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oikawa never failed no make you feel wanted and loved. It was a part of his charm that made you fall harder for him. 

You could feel his chest rise up and down, and it was a feeling you never wanted to let go of. After a while, Oikawa let go of you, and the two of you walked back into your house.

“Judging by the way you came running to the door, you missed me”, Oikawa said with a teasing tone to his voice.

“I- so what if I did miss you. I was alone for most of the day”, you confessed, trying to ignore the heat riding to your face.

“Well, you won’t be alone any longer. I promised I’d spend the weekend with you”, Oikawa cooed, giving you one of his signature smiles.

One that never failed to melt your heart, one that meant he’d love you unconditionally, that he’d believe in you, and that he’d always love you unconditionally.

“Ah! Let’s not just stand here, c’mon, I’ll tell you all about my day.”, Oikawa insisted, lacing his fingers with yours.

♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢♡♢

After sharing stories of how your days went over a meal, you then found yourself snuggled in Oikawa’s arms. Everything felt warm, and you felt truly at home with him. 

“Tooru”, you hummed, lookin gup into his his chocolate brown eyes. “Hm? What is it cutie”, he purred.

“I love you, so much”, you breathed, placing a kiss to his cheek.

Sighing happily, you drifted off into your dreams, still cuddled into Oikawa.

[hereliesbitches--me]

Dating Rosie :

Pros: 

You got yourself an actual Neko Waifu 

She is rich so shes basically your sugar mama too thatll take care of you because she can. Make you dress nice, probably fix a lot of broken shit in your house, buy you groceries. All that jazz. She likes to help.

She is a Milf thatll never age on you

Shes also hispanic therefore can cook you a bombass dinner no matter what. She also keeps the house clean 

Dating an actual celestial goddess who is dominion of the night and the keepers of souls. You got yourself a cryptid wife 

Wanna be a werewolf? Vampire? Something supernatural of the night? Moon mom is able to grant those abilities and take them away whenever you want. 

Once you have her in love, shes undyingly devoted and loyal to a fault. To a level you can do some bad shit and she would still defend you because of blind love. All she'll want is your approval and love.

Would make you a music box to show her love

If you want to be a family, shes on board. All shes ever wanted was to feel normal with a family. She has kids and she would love for them to have 2 parents instead of just her.

Will tear the world apart to protect you. #FuckThePolice Very little she wouldnt do to make you happy, she will throw hands with anyone for your sake. Will wrap up in her wings and curl her tail around you whenever she can bcuz she loves you and needs you to know. 

Would kill for you or help you hide a body. She has experience

Fully capable of altering your traumatic memories and erasing them for you if you wanted to really make that pain go away.

Sex wise, once shes got you, it’ll be hard to get her off you. She needs the physical intimacy to solidy and verbalize her feelings, and let her know that you still find her desirable. So her libido tends to shoot through the roof once shes settled in, helps her think better. Will literally have a deep conversation with u while at it cuz it helps the thought process. 

She has heats every 4 months for about 10 days, hope ya up for that.

She cares more about your orgasm than her own. Its mental satisfaction for her to make her partner feel good and in turn it satisfies her. 

When it comes to orgasms, this woman is skilled. She will suck the the soul out of your body, or eat you out to another plain of existence. Those powers of her are more than just for battle, it makes for one hell of an outer body experience as she works at your soul just as much as your body. Who needs a masseuse when you can kill 2 birds with one stone for the ultimate high and relaxing experience. You'll come back like it's a drug fix 

Would def be willing to experiment in the bedroom, also willing to have sex in risky public places for the thrill of it .

Will love you until the end of time , worship you like her savior, until you don't want her anymore. Will probably try to find a way to keep your soul with her even in death 

Would probably stay with you, even if you treat her like shit, because shes in love. 

Loves chocolate milk , puns, cuddles, and kisses. Would probably kiss you on national television.

Cons: 

Shes mentally unstable. Has undiagnosed bipolar disorder. She suffered severe PTSD from a history of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse on multitude of occasions, and much of her pros and search for love stems from these things. She loves passionately, but she is nonetheless a sick person that struggles with herself more than anything. Almost always paranoid and distrusting of any situation she doenst have control over. 

She has a form of DID that has toned down a lot, but shows itself under extreme stress. Might catch glimpses of these alters by sudden change in her personality and how they adapt to situations. She can be childlike, she can be cold, she can be inconsolable and hollowed out depressed, she can be angry and violent. Though rare, it can happen.

Emotionally dependent on her partner for stability. She has lost many people who come in and out of her life, shes always felt alone and to have someone means she clings on desperately for one good thing in a mess of tragedy. She Carries the world on her shoulders so she looks to her partner for understanding to help her not fall apart.

Needs consistent confirmation that she is cared for and loved. Even if it's a subtle way.she just needs a sign at least once a day 

It's difficult to make her truly fall in love and open herself entirely. She keeps many secrets and you just need to accept that until shes ready. She is heavily guarded and may reject multiple times 

It may take a while before she is comfortable in letting you touch her. Much of the time she guided and in control of it, has a particular discomfort with any hand between her legs until she totally trusts someone.

You will have to accept that she is a killer, and will always be a killer when its needed. It's a bad habit she cant break like an addiction, but she has curbed it to only out of necessity. Or in times of severe emotional distress 

If she ever does open up, you have to accept her dirty past as a part of who she was to who she Is now.

Shes a workaholic. She manages the Angels and their missions, the legal stuff of managing the Angels, her family, and herself. She works long hours and splits herself up to give time to everyone, and it's not uncommon that she stays up late into the night researching and filling reports. 

Suffers nightmares that may make her talk or thrash in her sleep. Sleeps with a knife or gun always in reach 

If you dont like kids, you aren't shit to her. Her family will always come before any lover. 

Ya gotta be accepted by her family and her familiars, otherwise you cant be part of it and she would never go against her family's feelings.

Your life will always be in peril because of the nature of her work, and you are a exploitable weakness. She has many enemies

Gotta deal with many oddities of the connection she has. Including dead people that regularly go through the mirror to hang out in her house, who she says are friends. Also a demon shes owned by

Rest in fucking peace if you have a cat hair allergy because she sheds like a bitch, even if she regularly brushes and trims her tail.

  Break her heart and she will either be self destructive or wipe your existence to get you out of her head (aka, she'll kill you and make it look like an accident, or no one would find the body)

If you cheat on her, she'd kill your lover and probably castrate/mutilate you in her devastation and disgust. Could absolutely eat your heart out

Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu – The Tokyo Battle

Entertainment Station Interview Translation with Nagata Takato and Kondou Shouri

Full interview translation and more photos under the Read More! Please do not repost my translations or scans.

=====

Nagata-san and Kondou-san, it’s been about year since we’ve seen you appear in this series since “Start of the Giant.”

Takato: One year huh... Ever since we first appeared back in December of 2016 with “Karasuno, Revival!” we’ve done an Engeki Haikyuu every six months afterward, and at that pace I sort of worried if I might get a little tired of it, but I’ve been able to add to my experience with other plays in the past year, and now I really want to bring “The Tokyo Battle” to life.  

Shouri: Karasuno High won’t be appearing in “The Tokyo Battle,” but together with everyone in Fukurodani and Nohebi, we’re going to get everyone even more excited about the amazing production that is Engeki Haikyuu!

When you’re doing photoshoots for the play visuals, do you get back the feeling of Kuroo instantly once you put on the hair and the makeup and the uniform?

Shouri: In one sense, but even more because we move around a lot during those shoots, and when I start to feel sore after we’re done, then I feel like, “Ah, this is Haikyuu!” (laughs)

Takato: Once rehearsals start, you basically live with a little bit of muscle soreness all the time.  Every single time we do this, the day after the first day of rehearsals, I’m sore all over and it’s hard to even walk.

Shouri: I move around a lot in other shows too, and I go to the gym regularly, but even so Engeki Haikyuu rehearsals are seriously tough! The stage is slanted, and just from that alone you end up using muscles you don’t normally use just to brace yourself on certain parts of the stage.  

Takato: That’s how we train our “Haikyuu muscles.” (laughs)

Speaking of those “Haikyuu muscles,” which specific muscles would those be?

Shouri: Mostly your lower half.  Your thighs and calves get especially rock-hard.  The road back to rehearsals is a lot of, “Yeah yeah, that! That pain,” but that is part of the Engeki Haikyuu experience, and I’m going to enjoy it all over.  

This time we’ll see Fukurodani Academy and Nohebi Academy as they compete for a spot for the Spring High national tournament.  What are your impressions of your opponents?  

Takato: When it comes to Fukurodani’s Bokuto Koutarou and Akaashi Keiji, this will actually be our third time appearing together with them, but this will be Nohebi Academy’s first appearance... so I wonder?  But you can tell just by looking at the school names that our secondary theme is “Battle of the Animals,” and the thing to look for will be to see how the fight will go when it’s cats versus owls or when it’s cats versus snakes.  

As a fan, I’m very much looking forward to see how Engeki will portray the various highlight scenes from the manga.  Do you personally have any parts where you think, “It’d be great if we could have that scene from the manga,” or “I’d love to make this my highlight scene?”  

Shouri: For me, it’s the combination plays between Kuroo Tetsurou and Kozume Kenma.  When I read the manga, I immediately thought, “That was amazing!” for certain parts and I definitely want to recreate some of those on-stage.  

Takato: In the manga, this is the part where we get a lot of great expressions from Kenma.  For example, after Haiba Lev joins in, the usually poker-faced Kenma starts to make a lot of snide comments. (laughs)  But that side of Kenma is cute too, and I always want to play him while keeping that in mind.  And then of course, Nekoma will be the main school this time, so we’ll be situated right in the center of everything, so our level of responsibility has changed. We’re going to lead the company with confidence and make a magnificent play.  

Shouri: For Nekoma, I’m looking forward to seeing the first-years develop.  I’m looking forward to Ishikura Noah’s Haiba Lev and Kimura Fuuta’s Shibayama Yuuki, and the new female cast members!

Since this will be an episode without Karasuno who have been the main characters thus far, and adding in the new cast members as well, this production as a whole is going to have a different atmosphere and color and style, isn’t it?

Takato: If we don’t change to something new and good, then everything we’ve built up so far will go to waste.  I think it’s going to be extremely difficult, but we’re continuing the will of the Engeki Haikyuu that we’ve built up together with Suga Kenta and everyone else in the first generation of Karasuno who led the way, and from now on, we have to be the ones to lead the way... I firmly believe that.

Shouri: Let’s help each other!  We’ll help each other, support each other, boost each other... because that’s our specialty on Nekoma.  

Takato: Yeah.  I can say with confidence that we won’t lose to any other school when it comes to our teamwork.  We’ll display that great teamwork of ours front and center, and hope to create a new Engeki Haikyuu with everyone in the cast. 

And now I’d like to look back on previous tours.  I’d like to ask you about your memories of the Karasuno cast who graduated at the end of last year.

Takato:  We spent about two years with them starting with “Karasuno, Revival!” and in a certain sense, we have an inseparable relationship.  Even if we’re a different school, we’ve been Karasuno members ourselves in some ways...

Shouri:  It does feel like even the Karasuno cast think of us as part of them.  “Karasuno and then some.”  During the Miyagi portion of the “Start of the Giant” tour, me and Takato, Kenta-kun, Kosaka Ryoutarou, and Arita Kenji were talking, and then suddenly everyone from Karasuno had gathered together, and someone said something along the lines of, “This will be the last Engeki Haikyuu with these guys, and that’s sad,” and I just involuntarily started crying.  

Takato: We had a closing party of sorts in the middle of the tour, and when I hugged Kenta-kun, I just wailed.  

Shouri: At first I thought, “Come on, we haven’t even finished all our shows yet,” but then suddenly it was me and Takato and Kenta-kun all hugging and wailing together. (strained laugh)  Seeing us like that, everyone laughed and said, “You guys, we’re not even done yet, why are you crying?!” but we were really sad about Karasuno’s graduation.  

Takato: But it doesn’t mean that our relationship ends just because they graduated, and I definitely want to act together with them in some other production.  Probably they’ll come hang out during rehearsals of “The Tokyo Battle”?

Shouri: Kenta-kun said, “I’m going to keep watching over Engeki Haikyuu from the audience, and I’m going to stay over in the dressing rooms too!” (laughs)

Takato: In exchange for us just turning over a dressing room for Kenta-kun’s use, he can treat us to bentos!

Shouri: Let’s LINE him and say, “Treat us to some bentos ♡”.  (laughs)

As rehearsals formally begin for “The Tokyo Battle,” is there anything you’re especially looking forward to?

Shouri: There’s a lot I’m looking forward to, but the most important thing is that we stay careful and focused so that we don’t get injured!  I really think we have to be careful about injuries, and in the worst case that someone does get injured, that the damage will be minimal.  So I’ve been thinking that I need to do some training on my own starting now.  

Obviously this is true of cast injuries, but when I heard that even the director Worry Kinoshita-san isn’t free from injury, I was surprised. (laughs)

Takato: Ah, that makes it seem like it’s our fault but it’s not! (laughs)  Worry-san will watch us at rehearsals and then on his own just go, “No, not like that! That part’s more... -jerks his ankle- Owww!” and then he twisted his ankle, but we didn’t do anything.  

Shouri: Worry-san gets the most excited when he’s with our group.  When the music gets going, he’ll dance his “Worry☆Dance,” and then when he gets too excited from that, he ends up hurting himself. (strained laugh)

Engeki Haikyuu obviously has dancing, lifts, and acrobatics, and I’m always surprised with the various ways in which you use your bodies to express everything.

Takato: It’s the appeal of Engeki Haikyuu: it surpasses the general concept of a stage play and greedily takes in and incorporates all sorts of challenging things.  We attack our limits and then the breadth of what we can show gets steadily more expansive. It’s fun for us, and I think it’s really cool.  

Be honest, have you ever once had a moment where you said, “This is impossible!”

Takato: Even if I think it’s impossible, when I try it out I can be surprisingly capable.  In “Start of the Giant,” there’s a part where Shouri and I do a one-handed backflip followed immediately by a dolphin and then from there we do a scorpion to get up... Trying to explain it is... It’s easier to understand if you just watch the DVD (strained laugh), but even that seemingly impossible sequence of techniques is doable once you try it.  In “Summer of Evolution,” when Shouri and I were using pro-wrestling moves like Luchadors, I got that down in one blow.  

That was when you wrapped your legs around his neck and then flipped around, right?

Takato: Yes, exactly.  That’s a contact move, so it’s really important to have a lot of trust in each other.

Shouri: If we don’t match our timing, he’d go flying so it’s a pretty scary technique, but we just went, “Something like this?” and tried it, and we did it.  

Takato: At Engeki Haikyuu, we have brainstorming sessions and there people suggest things going, “I want to try this kind of thing,” and then we decide what we’ll use.  During “Start of the Giant,” I wanted to throw in hints to a line from the manga about “a controlled fist-fight” and suggested, “For the Nekoma and Fukurodani match scenes, what if we have us appear on-stage in those hooded robes like boxers wear and make it look like a boxing match?” and people went, “That’s great!” and we went with that.  

Shouri: And this time I think we’ll be using a lot of moves that mimic animals according to our school names, so please look forward to how that’ll look.  

“The Tokyo Battle” opens on April 5th starting in Osaka, then moving to Miyagi, then Tokyo for a one-month long tour. Please give us a message to everyone who’s looking forward to seeing this play.

Takato: We are carrying on the torch for Engeki Haikyuu, and from here on I think a brand new Engeki Haikyuu will begin.  We will meet the expectations of everyone who’s loved Engeki Haikyuu until now, and to people who haven’t yet seen Engeki Haikyuu, we’ll show them the Engeki Haikyuu charm.  To that end, everyone on the cast will give their all together, so please come see us!  

Shouri: This is a production that children and adults, men and women can enjoy without question, so if you’re on the fence going, “Should I go see it? Hmm, what should I do?” I want you to take this chance and definitely come see us.  We’ll definitely make you have a good time, and put on a production that’ll work up your spirits!  We’ll be waiting for you at the theater!!

[otterplusharchive]

im going to be tagging this appropriately but i want to give a warning at the beginning of this post also that ill be talking about suicide/suicide attempts and death overall in it, its something that because of recent events (thatll become clear further on in this post) ive been thinking about and trying to word. im sorry that this is probably going to be long but ill put a tldr at the end for a large chunk of my life ive been suicidal. im 20 right now and from the ages of 13 to 18 i can tell you that there wasnt a day that went by that i didnt think about killing myself and it was normal for me to try and kill myself once a week. looking back on it now i know that my household and school environment have both been toxic and abusive to me since an early age and that i really was depressed even before i was 13. thoughout my struggles i felt so alone, and the one thought that kept nagging at me was "i dont matter. no one would miss me if i were gone. nothing would change if i were gone. people would be happier if i were gone". last week, my friend passed away. i still dont know the cause, he was still young and healthy, he did obstical courses and had to be physically fit for his job. when i found out that he had died it hit me like a pile of bricks and all i could feel was numb. he wasnt an incredibly close friend, i didnt know everything there was to know about him, but he was still my friend. in my dnd group he was one of two people who i felt respected by and who would treat me with kindness. he made jokes with me, helped me with my characters, asked me how i was doing. he may not have been my best friend but he was still a part of my life and still a friend. over the course of the week it was hard to soak in that someone i cared about was really gone. i kept thinking about how i hadnt gone to dnd in easily a month, kept wondering when the last time i wouldve said goodbye to him was. it really did feel like suddenly a part of my life was shattered and there was a gaping hole there. i couldnt wrap my head around it, it just didnt make sense, i didnt understand why this had happened and i felt guilty for not appreciating my time with him more while he was here. the wake came at the end of the week and a dear friend and i drove to the funeral home, which was actually literally just one turn away from the house where we played dnd with him. we all thought that we would just be saying goodbye to an urn, because it was our friends wish to be cremated, but i stepped inside the funeral home, saw the open casket, and it felt like my heart stopped. i knew i wouldnt be able to handle seeing my friend lying there dead. there were a few people we knew there, most from theater and dnd. we headed over to one particular person who happens to be the tallest man ive ever met. hes a very nice person but when you look at him out of context he seems very imposing and not necessarily friendly. ive known this guy since i was ten and i have never once seen him the way he was at the funeral home. his eyes were red and it was obvious that he had been sobbing, and when he greeted each of us he gave me a big crushing hug and i could just. feel how horrible this was for him. hed grown up with our friend who was lying there in the room. i eventually walked over to the casket and to my friends family, none of who i had ever met, and as soon as i tried to talk to his mother i started crying. i told her through tears that her son had been very kind to me and that i appreciated him a lot. i couldnt walk all the way to the casket because it was too much. i whispered goodbye and left. we drove back in silence. tldr: you have more of an impact on people than you realize. you impact the lives of people you meet even for a moment, even if you never meet them again you still have affected them by meeting them no matter how fleeting. even if youre not best friends with someone your presence still matters and changes both the world and peoples lives. and their lives are absolutely not the same without you. no matter how alone you might feel i can absolutely guarentee that you would be missed. you ALWAYS matter. you ALWAYS are important. your life always has inherent worth and inherent value. youre important to the universe and the people in your life, you matter and the world wouldnt be the same without you. the world is better with you in it and im glad that youre alive. please dont give up on yourself, you are so loved.

Overview Of Course (Reflection)

Dylan Decker

Eng-3298/Wgs3298

07/27/21

CP Book Reflection:

Welcome to my commonplace book assignment, where I will talk about themes and main ideas that I have learned throughout the semester. To start off, I want to talk about my posts that I have selected, (shown below). For primary research I analyzed my classmates' posts from throughout the summer and picked the ones that best focus on my theme. One theme that I believe is real and evident throughout our class is women equality as well as discrimination. I enjoyed reading and getting a better understanding of this theme throughout the semester, especially because I notice these issues in sports all the time. I am a big sports fan and have been following the news about inequality when discussing men and womens sports. I have reblogged multiple posts below that talk about inequality in pay, attention and  popularity. The highest paid male in their given sport is making double or even more than the highest paid women in the same sport. One popular issue that most people have heard about is the controversy between mens and womens national soccer. The US men's team accumulates to over 38 million in total salary whereas the women only totals to 4 million. There are many words that I can use to describe this situation but to be honest it is simply unfair and cruel. Not only because they are doing the same exact thing, but the women have gained more press and popularity than the men due to their success. Not only have they outscored the men in viewership year after year, but they have also won more World Cups and have been overall more noticeable and appreciated. You may be asking why they aren't being paid the same as the men? Well they eventually had enough of the unbalanced system and filed a lawsuit towards the District Court of California. The case consisted of alleged  gender based pay discrimation which blatantly violated the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. They had hard evidence that the men’s team was making way more than they shouldn't have, in 2015 the women won the world cup and got paid 1.73 million in total bonuses for the players. When the men didn't even come close to winning and still earned 5.38 million in performance based bonuses. If you would like to read more I found a fantastic article that lays out what exactly happened. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/03/12/us-womens-soccer-team-is-better-than-men-thatll-help-its-case/)  

Although there are many other cases of discrimation towards women there are also good things happening to improve our equality. Fortune 500 came out with a graph that shows an overview of the number of women CEOs in the 500 from 1999 to 2020. In 1999 there were only 2 total. Fast forward to 37 in 2020, it shows that we are making changes in our society and letting the old traditions slowly dwindle with time.  Although 37 women may not seem like a drastic change, who knows what the total will be in 2025. I find this to be inspiring and interesting to me, especially because I am a Business Administration major. After school I want to earn my job in the most fair way possible, I would never want to be told that I only got the job because of my skin color or gender. Gender pay gaps are also a massive problem in our world. The issue of gender pay is a problem in everycountry not just ours. I looked at a graph that shows the pay gap between men and women in each country. After analyzing the graph it was evident that worldwide change was necessary. In Estonia the pay gap is 21.7% which is the highest in any country. Which means no matter how powerful or talented you are, if you live in a country like this it is very difficult for a woman to be successful. This deeply saddens me because it's as if they dont even have a chance, this is all due to cultural traditions passed down for many years.

Throughout the semester we have read as well as watched videos on women discussing discrimation towards them and other cultures. One thing I realized overtime is that support is one of the best and biggest things we can do to continue towards an equal society. One tumblr post from sdunk43 stood out to me and best describes empowerment towards women. I believe that inorder to keep this momentum towards women empowerment men have to play a role also. Women helping other women reach their full potential is a great thing, and us men should try to do the same for them. We are not in our grandparents' generation anymore where men “rule the world”. We are in 2021 and it's time to make massive strides towards an equal society where a woman can have and be as much as men. This discussion can go into much more detail, because not only have women been affected from this but peeople of color or a different gender face discriminattion everyday. Throughout the month of June our class focused on issues with the LGBT community, and how to better understand what they deal with regularly. Earlier in the semester our class read and discussed Under the Udala Trees. Although it wasnt exactly accurate it gave us a sense of how difficult it was to fight and struggle for change. I am sad to say that Ijeoma struggled and told her story hoping Nigeria would change for the better, but the country still struggles with this issue in the present day. The LGBT has worked so hard to adapt in different cultures, hopefully if we work together and support them every month instead of one we can make a change thatll benefit our society in the future.

To wrap things up, It is important to keep what we learned this semester and to actually support and do things to make our society better, instead of just saying it. It's one thing to say you want change, it's a whole other thing to actually be a part of it. I personally will continue to follow the news in other countries as well as indulge myself into supporting other people in any way possible. I never was a member of tumblr before this class and was unsure what exactly it was about. But after this class I have realized it's a safe place to share aswell as express how we feel and try to work towards a change. I plan to expand my profile and continue to post and hopefully bring awareness to these situations we have encountered throughout the semester. I wish you all the best of luck and hopefully we can think about this class 5 years from now and notice massive improvement to our society,  and strides to full equality.

Summary: tumnus meets a cute dragon Lady who takes his heart.

A/n: James McAvoy + cute character = New f/o I had a crush on him since I was a lil kid so I need to write it since I saw the movie again today.

When the winter started, tumnus had no way to Keep warm,the normal Fire didnt work as well as he wanted.

The only Fire thats better than the normal one was a dragons.

But where was he going to get that? Specially because there was no way that he'd get close to one.

So the fawn had to make do with what he had,for the first months he used normal wood and Fire.

But the world had different plans for him, one Day he rescued a poor half dragon, lost and cold he offered her a home in his own.

--This damn Fire-- said tumnus throwing another wood in the fireplace.

--oh why, let me help--she blows into the Fire, and the flame grows in size.

--Ah,ive uh been meaning to get myself a ....better Fire? Does that make sense?-- he chuckles nervoudly handing her a cup of tea.

The half dragon takes it, drinking from it.

--s so-- said the fawn sitting with her-- whats your name

--jerico, yours?

--tumnus, nice to meet you-- he said drinking from his cup, he looks away-- your names very pretty-- he whispered in hopes that she wouldnt hear It.

--Why, thank you! Yo too-- said jerico.

The fawns cheeks Go red-- a ah thanks!

The snowstorm got worse that night.

-- thats okay you can stay as long as you need-- said tumnus closing the door.

--youre too kind, thank you

--just uh! One thing..ah yes, theres only one bed,I can take the sofá though! No problem there

--no need! Dont, we can share

--i dont want to annoy you, im sorry, I dont mind at all taking the sofá

She takes his hand shaking her head-- no you dont bother at all

He sighs nodding,looking out the frosted Window.

Its already night, and after dinner, they went to sleep.

Tumnus slipped into bed, his flute on his night table.

He felt her move all night Long, its late night, he turns around and he sees her.

-- hey-- he said softly turning on his side to face her-- is everything alright?..

--Yeah yeah I cant sleep though..

--i can play my flute, maybe thatll help

--go ahead, lets give it a try

He grabs his flute sitting up.

He plays softly, he hears her yawn, then rol around to her side and some minutes later fall asleep.

He chuckled and put the flute down, laying down Next to her.

His back against hers, the wind blew hard and the room went cold.

Out of necessity, and maybe because he had a crush on her, he spoons her,feeling the warmth of her body take over.

The Next morning she was against his chest, he smiles softly caressing her chocolate brown hair.

-- hmm,morning--jerico said snuggling closer to him

Tumnus blushes and hugs her tightly-- did the melody help?

She giggles and nodds-- yeah, hey its getting cold, come here

She pulls him closer and he smiles pressing his head against her bicep.

--hungry?--he asked.

-- yeah, but we can stay a bit longer, besides your chest is so fluffy and comfortable

The fawn smiles and buries his head on her hair.

They stay for a bit longer, and as the fawn goes to make breakfast, he hears the half dragon stumble into the kitchen and sitting by the Fire.

--What were you doing lost in the snow last night?-- he asked.

--i wanted to make my way into the market and uh I got lost if im not flying I get lost

--i see

He sits by her and hands her a tray with food.

Both end up spending the heavy winter togheter.

It was obvious that they had a crush on eachother, between flirting and cheeky remarks.

--Well morning-- jer hugs tumnus from behind as he cooks, he snuggles closer and she rubs her cheek on his soft beard, he humms and leans closer.

His hooves click against the wooden floor.

--howd you slept?--he asked pressing a kiss to her cheek.

--well enough-- she adds lifting him up by the waist and carrying him to the sofá, where they crash.

He giggles and turns around-- breakfast remember?

--ughh fiiiiine

She lets him go and after they eat breakfast she wraps the scarf around him-- please be careful, you sure you dont want to go on my back?

-- Its alright dear, ill go by myself

She sighs and hugs him, he hugs back-- be back in an hour!

She nodds.

A blizzard forms just as tumnus arrives, jerico pulls him in by the scarf and closes the door.

-- thank god that storm didnt catch you

-- hey id be okay its not the first time id get caught in a storm

-- still...

He chuckles and rubbs his nose against hers-- you worry about me too much

She chuckles and looks away.

He shyly kisses her, and she kisses back cupping his cheeks.

The fawn smiles and hugs her.

--see? You worry too much

She giggles and helps him putting the supplies away.

As they sit on the sofa, snuggled near the Fire place he rubs his cheek against hers and her hand caressed his curly hair.

Tumnus smiles kissing her again, and as jerico kisses back his tail wiggles.

-- dont go out for the rest of the day

--i wont get sick

--says who?

He laughs-- see?! You worry too much

--And you love it

-- you know I do

Their noses meet and both laugh cuddling by the warmth of the Fire.

An original story that has no title

Im sorry if y'all read this and catch a bunch of mistakes,, ive read over it a bunch of times for consistency errors and stuff of that sorts.

I also want to put out a trigger warning on this for ((SH, SH mention, ED mention)). Please let me know if theres more.

I slammed my foot into the brake pedal. My car skidded. It flippes a u turn and nearly flipped me into a ditch. Tears clouded my sight as i punched the steering wheel. The smell of burning rubber surrounded my car. I sat in the dust enveloped car until it settled down. I opened the door and stepped out into the dry desert air. I walked over to the boot. I popped the trunk and pulled out a blanket. I wrapped it around myself before leaning on my car. I looked up at the night sky. Thousands of little stars decorated the sky like holes in an inky black backdrop. I took a deep breath and got into the back of my car. I pulled out the simple airpump and air matress for a car seat and hooked them up. The air pump made a horrible ruckus whenever it ran. I just went back to stargazing. The back car door was still open as i reclined closer to the boot. I raked my fingers through my hair. I absently rubbed my fingertips over my scars. The many pink and white lines that decorated my forearm told stories. I liked to reread them over and over again until i felt hollow. But this time.. this time i just ghosted over the words, not reading the paragraphs but merely skimming over the pages. Words echoed around my head as pieces of the story splayed out in front of me. Chapters or sentances on repeat for hours. I checked on the filling mattress. It was near done. I closed my eyes, sleep deprivation finally setting in. I turned the pump off and closed the valve on the big sack of air in my back seat. I got in on top of it and closed the door. I locked all my windows and doors then layed down. I closed my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw the colors of the sunrise. I sighed and threw opened the door. I opened the valve on the bed and emptied it of its air. I shoved the pump and the mattress into the foot space of the back seat. I opened the trunk and rifled through my bag for new clothes. I found a t-shirt a few sizes too large and decided to keep my pants on. I pulled off my shirt and tugged on the new one. I slammed the boot closed and got back into the drivers seat. I turned my key in the ignition and pressed the gas. I needed to stop for gas, and soon. I began driving and found the main road again in a few mere moments. I obeyed the traffic laws as i rode up to a gas station. I got out and paid in cash to fill my tank. I grabbed breakfast. An energy drink and a half dozen of donuts. The worker manning the register looked at me odd. Maybe because I look pathetic. My dark brown curls trapped in a bun, inevitable dark circles around my eyes, trashy clothes and a silence that gave people chills. I looked at the guy with quiet grey eyes as i bought my stuff. My body felt sluggish as i walked back to my car. I put the donuts in the passenger seat and grabbed one. I cracked open the drink and downed half of it in one go. I carelessly shoved a donut down my throat. I went for another but stopped when i saw my scarred wrist. I snorted and got back into the seat. I pulled out of the station lot and drove off. Id likely never see this place again. I sighed. I reached over to the dial on my radio and turned it onto a classic rock station. Music filled the car and I relaxed into my seat. I sang along to the lyrics that i knew and played the beat on my steering wheel if i didnt know the song. This is how i was supposed to live. Free. Wings outstretched against the blinding sun. Everything i needed stuffed into my car. No one place for too long. Perfection. I drove into a new city. I opened my wallet and what i saw made me grimmace. Id have to stay in this place for a while to get some money back before taking to the road again. I found my way to a rv home rental place and parked in the lot. I opened my door and took a step out. I locked my doors with the keyfob. I walked into the run down rental office. I pulled my hair out of the bun and let it frame my face gently. I tucked a strand behind my ear before ringing a bell on the counter. A stocky woman walked up and eyed me.      “Whats the price?” I asked quietly. My voice sonded strange to myself. Like a mix of rough gravel road with a crushed velvet throw. The stocky woman looked me over.      “How old are you, kid?” She asked, leaning on the counter top and getting too close for comfort.      “Eighteen, ma'am. How much?” I said, standing my ground.      “For a kid like you itll be two hundred a month.” She said, standing back up. I pulled out my wallet. I fished out two hundred dollars and set it on the counter.      “Thank you, ma'am. Id like to rent.” I said, running my fingers over a cross-esque shaped scar spanning my left palm. The woman watched me as my fingers glided over the taut  skin and scar tissue. She watched me as i exposed my scarred forearm and rubbed the scars there as well. She did something on the computer that i had no interest in then grabbed a set of keys.      “Youre going to be renting number 113.” She handed me the keys. “Theres a map thatll tell you where to go. Ill stop by later tonight to see how youre working out here.” I wanted to tell her that wasnt necessary but bit my tongue. I thanked her and walked out. I got in my car and drove to the map. I studied it then drove away slowly. I found number 113 pretty easily. I pulled into the carport and got out. The majority of the people who lived here looked to be elderly. There were numerous younger kids though. The kids all looked to be around 13 to 19 years old. I sighed then made my way up to the door. I shoved the key in the door then turned it. I opened the screen then the main door. The interior of the place was surprisingly clean and comfortable despite the grungy outside appearance. I looked at the couch in the corner and gelt myself grow tired.  I laid down on the cushions and fell asleep all too fast. I heard a knock on the door and woke up groggily. I recounted what had happened and why on earth i had rented a place. I opened the door and the stocky office lady stood there with a few bags.      “May I come in?” She asked and i nodded silently. I held the doors open for her. The woman only came to stand as high as my collar bones, if that. She stepped in the little house.      “RVs 100 through 200 are for kids, like you. Either runaways or something else. I care for half of them. Ill take care of you too if you want me too.” I stared at the woman.      “Ma'am thats unneeded. I just need a place to get more money before I get back on the road.” I said quietly and took to examining my hands.      “What do you do? What are you planning to do to make money?”      “Ill think of something.” I muttered. My mind went to selling art. I had a little bit of art supplies shoved in my trunk. I could paint and sell the products. I could do commissions or–      “Whats your name?”      “I dont have one. Im restarting my life. I didnt want something tethering me to my old life.” I said, walking through a doorway to the kitchen. I looked it over then sat on the countertop. The woman walked in and set the bags on the counter beside me.      “Im Veronica.” She said. “I was a runaway when i was thirteen. I lived on the streets until  i was seventeen. Then i got a job and worked to afford a little rental like this.” She gestured to the little house. “I made it my goal to help others that are going through what i did. By the time i was twenty i co-owned this RV park. I was unofficially adopted and my adoptive mother helped me with buying this place. Now im close to fifty years old and i own this by myself.” I looked at her and she nodded to the bags. “I brought you food. You look pretty skinny under those baggy clothes.” Color flushed my cheeks. I nodded. I swalled hard and stared at the woman.      “Thank you, ma'am.”      “Ill let you get settled in. Dont be afraid to call for me.” She said before turning and walking away. I heard the door close and i closed my eyes. I got off the counterand looked in the bags. I saw sweets and smiled. I opened the container and pulled out a fat chocolate chip cookie. I bit into it and nearly melted. I finished the cookie and put everything in the fridge. I hardly ever ate. I wandered out of the kitchen and down the hallway. I found the bedroom and sat on the matress. It was more comfortable than the air mattress that was for sure. I laid down and fell asleep. I woke up as the sun shown in through the open blinds. I sat up and pulled the sides of my hair back into a ponytail. I walked trough the house and outside. I didn’t bother with putting shoes on. I walked over to my car and popped open the trunk. I grabbed the few canvases and my box of paint and brushes before closing the boot and shuffling groggily back inside. I set the canvases on the counter and grabbed a cookie. I set to work on getting a painting done. I was done before I even realized it. The yellow orange light of the setting sun shone in and painted the canvas with an aura of serenity. A smile turned up the corner of my lips up as i stared at a portrait of a woman. She had big, dark doe like eyes and pale skin, light blonde curls that reached to her sternum, and pale pink lips. It was the one woman i could paint with my eyes closed. I studied a photograph of her to the point of memorizing each detail of her pale, delicate face. My mother. Before I was surrendered to my uncle due to her incapability to raise me. My smile dissipated. I looked at the painting with its uncany resemblance to the woman in the photo. ‘Not my mother.’ I reminded myself. I scowled at the canvas and picked it up, taking it to the living room. I saw a few kids running around outside the trailer. Their laughs were muffled through the door but i could tell they were having fun. I peeked through the blinds and saw a few younger children and a few older ones playing basketball in the road. I smiled, remembering my days off where i would havg out with the neighbor kids. I stood and opened the front door. I let my hair down and shook my head. My hair fluffed then rested at my shoulders.      “I need a name.” I muttered as i pulled out a box of smokes. I put a cigarette between my lips and lit it with my zippo. I took a long drag as Veronica walked by. I blew the smoke out of the screen door. Veronica looked in my direction. She shook her head slightly as i brought the cigarette back up to my mouth.      “Excuse me, Veronica.” I called throuhh the door. She nodded in my direction and started making her way over.      “Smoking isnt good for your lungs, kiddo.” She said and i nodded.      “Yeah, im trying to shake the habit.” I put the lit butt out on the outer portion of my forearm.      “Oh my god, whyd you do that?” She asked, panic rising in her voice.      ‘Dont worry, Miss, it doesnt hurt too much.“ I paused. “I have a favor to ask of you.” She looked at me.      “Yeah?”      “I need a name. You got a name i could use?”      “Do you like Timothy? Or Jackson?” She suggested.

I’m always hesitant buying certain things online like jewelry because I really like to see it in person, hold it, and try it on, however I’m so glad I went with my gut and bought this. Now I can’t wait to wear it!” —Kelly Leya

A twist headband that’ll hold all those loose baby hairs out of your face, but will also make your updo look better than ever.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “These are so cute! I thought they might be too youthful/girly for me to get away with, but they’re adorable. Perfect for keeping my hair out of my face when I work and when I apply makeup and skincare treatments. There’s a wire that runs throughout the whole headband which means it stays on my (large) head, whereas other elastic headbands just slip off. These are available in many different pretty prints, as well. Great value for the money!” —meems

Promising review: “I’m a total sunglass snob. I have a huge collection and favor Chanel & Dior. My daughter had seen someone wearing red reflective glasses and I saw these on Amazon, so I figured I’d add these to her stocking. Well, I was pretty blown away by the good quality of the glasses, as well as the case and cleansing cloth they came with. I swear to you that there’s not a lot of difference between these and a pair of my $400+ glasses…” —Brat

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 styles).

Promising review: “This is a super cute denim jacket. It’s well-made, material is a nice, soft denim and the price is excellent. The sizing chart was spot on, so I ordered a medium and it fit very well. The sleeves are even long enough.” —callan yarkosky

Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).

A drop chain necklace that’ll pair perfectly with a V-neck shirt or dress. It’s delicate, so make sure it store it away from other necklaces so it doesn’t get tangled.

Amazon

Promising review: “I love this necklace! It is very beautiful and dainty. I can wear it with a T-shirt or with any of my dresses to go out. The weight of the bar keeps the necklace centered and I’m glad it was made with a connector so it can slide and doesn’t shift on my neck.” —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in three finishes).

A cropped linen jacket, because everyone deserves an adorable piece that can go from day to night effortlessly. It’ll be the perfect lightweight jacket for chillier nights when you want to grab a jacket before heading out, but one that’ll enhance your outfit, not detract from it.

Promising review: “Love this jacket…easily my go-to jacket now when I’m hanging out. Fits true to size. I wear a large in tops so that’s what I ordered and it fits great. The sleeves do cut off a little short, but that’s okay with me because I don’t have long arms. If you do, you may have to roll up the sleeves like the model. Other than that, love the jacket. Great material for the price paid.” —Toshia

The inner lining is a legit slip with adjustable straps. And it has pockets! I wish this style dress came in a multitude of colors and prints because I would buy them all and wear them from spring to fall!” —Angelaa86

20 Home Cooling Hacks to Save You Money

In many places across the nation, including Orlando, New Orleans, and Sacramento, one of the summers toughest challenges can be keeping cool. Power bills soar in Orlando, Florida, running the air conditioning can easily cost you anywhere from six hundred to well over a thousand dollars a year, depending on the efficiency of your unit. Across the nation, most people spend $52 to $350 per month to run air conditioning nine hours a day. These twenty tips and tricks will help you keep cool throughout the summer, without breaking your bank account. 1) Close curtains, shutters, and blinds, especially when not at home, to block the suns warming rays. Try to find opaque but light curtains, that will block the sun without trapping in heat. Another effective hack is to consider installing tinted or low-e window films to filter out at least some of the light when youre home. 2) Swap out your bed-sheets for lighter fabrics, like cotton or linen. Save heavy sheets like flannel for the colder winter months. Cooler sheets can help you sleep better during those hot summer nights. 3) Keep direct sunlight away from your windows with shade trees. Or with a trellis, or awnings, especially on the south- and west-facing sides, since they get the most sun. Dont add permanent shade if you want the sun to warm you up in the winter; retractable awnings, deciduous trees, and trellises with vines thatll die back all strike a nice compromise. 4) Keep yourself cool! This can be one of the biggest solutions after all, its not the temperature of the house that really matters, its your own internal body temperature that makes the difference. Wear light, loose-fitting clothing, stay out of direct sunlight, take slightly cool (not cold) showers, and drink teas proven to have a cooling effect like peppermint or chrysanthemum. 5) If youre having trouble falling asleep, try sticking your sheets in the fridge or freezer for a bit before bed. It wont help all night, but it can keep you cool long enough to drift off. You can also put ice packs wrapped in a towel in key places, or a frozen cotton sock filled with rice, in an inversion of old-fashioned hot water bottles. 6) If you start getting overheated, get somewhere cool immediately. Apply cold compresses to the wrists, neck, elbows, groin, ankles, and behind the knee. 7) Start adjusting to hotter temperatures early. Our bodies are fairly amazing and can adapt to a new temperature within a week or two. Avoid running the A/C in the spring and try not to set the A/C much lower than 75 degrees Fahrenheit, 78 degrees with a ceiling fan. Our family likes to try to keep the indoor temperature within ten degrees of the outdoor temperature, to prevent the outdoors from feeling too unbearably hot. The higher you set the temperature, the more money youll save in most places, your energy bills will be three to ten percent lower per degree above 78 degrees. 8) Set your thermostat five or [...] The post 20 Home Cooling Hacks to Save You Money appeared first on Homes.com.
