#ant's daily hot takes

[discowingneckline]

hot take for the day: dick grayson, damian wayne, and cassandra cain are the best cooks in the family.

bruce does okay, but it's super american. afred does great, but it's super posh. duke gives me vibes of "i led a child gang, i can totally cook food" and actually can. tim definitely just eats whatever is available.

and jason...let's be so for real guys, he can't cook well. he cooks to survive, and he definitely has his poverty comfort foods like butter noodles, ramen noodles, chipped beef and gravy on toast (aka, shit on shingles), mac and cheese (sometimes with hotdogs cut up in it), etc.

don't ask me about anyone else though because i think i've lost too many braincells today.

✎ Babes I cannot be told Chris doesn't have an oral fixation

⪧ Lavinho

Hot lips pressing to your thighs, teeth grazing the sensitive skin of your outer lips it was all a prelude to the final act. The thing you had been craving since Lavinho and you had gotten home from your date, what his fingers beneath your skirt at dinner had promised. The only thing you would openly beg for when in bed, for his slick, warm mouth to abuse your clit while his fingers fucked you till you couldn't see straight. Back arching slightly you reached a hand down when his lips pressed a chaste kiss to your mound before he flattened his tongue on your clit with a wide almost feral grin on his charming face.

Through hazed over eyes you watched as he puckered his lips and blew cold air onto your warm slick sex causing your body to twitch slightly which earned a snicker from Lavinho. Tugging his fingers from your hole he held them up as he moved to hover above you, your hand dropping from his head to the matters as those warm eyes gazed down at you. Bringing his hand up to your mouth he silent tapped them against your lips as he waited for your lips to part before slipping them into the warm confines of your mouth. The earthy taste of your own arousal on your tongue had a breathy groan leaving your full mouth... It was going to be a long night.

⪧ Michael Kaiser

Finally you had put that fucker's mouth to good use. Michael was lucky he was pretty even if his hair looked like a little sea bug from certain angles. With a hand fisted in his hair and his arms around your thighs you rocked forward, clit bumping against his nose as his tongue greedily plunged in and out of your wet entrance. Soft breathless pants of his name dropped from your open mouth like a prayer. Even when his eyes narrowed and the undoubtedly smug expression he wore on a daily basis curled his lips where they rested against your sex.

The moment your breathing had grown ragged Michael craned his neck and forced his tongue harder into your hope as if he were trying to force an orgasm from your body. Head tilting down you panted as warmth coiled tighter in your lower stomach, with the way his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his cheeks flushed pink you knew he ate pussy for his own pleasure. When that slick warmth of an orgasm raced up your spine and the euphoria made your vision haze over the soft plush of your thighs had snapped shut on Michael's head, the simple action of you coming undone on his face had his hips jolting up as he came himself making a mess of his boxers.

⪧ Chris Prince

He talked a big game for a man who didn't seem to know what a clitoris was. Really it was a shame, for someone so damn pretty he was so dumb at times. Like now as you pointed at the various parts of your vagina all he did was stare with a look like he was listening, but from the tent he had pitched in his boxers you knew all he was thinking about was latching his mouth onto any part of your body he could. It seemed to send him into a blissed out haze just the mundane act of licking and sucking on various parts of your body. When you finally got a vague nod from Chris you laid back on the bed and let him dive in for his favourite meal, the dork even thanked you for it... Gods you were down bad for this fool.

The moment was ruined for the better as that warm heat of his mouth latched onto your sex. Back arching a soft keening main of his name left your kiss swollen lips. Back arching your thighs tensed around his head which only had those pretty eyes rolling to the back of his skull as Chris rutted against the mattress while taking his time licking and sucking on ant bit of skin within the vicinity of his hungry mouth. Head dipping slightly he nudged his nose against your clit before plunging his tongue as far inside of your hole as it would go. The more into it he got the more you knew it was going to be a long night filled with borderline painful overstimulation and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Deidara’s Daily Texts from the Akatsuki

From Tobi:

How long do you boil water for hard boiled eggs?

How long do you boil eggs for soft boiled eggs?

Is there a thing like medium boiled eggs?

Do we have eggs?

Where are the eggs at?

Have you seen my cloak?

Have you seen my gloves?

Have you seen my sandals?

Have you seen Zetsu today?

You left your piece of pie in the refrigerator for 3 days can I eat it?

Do ladybugs have toes?

((early morning)) Do you ever think about how we’re all just wiggly spirits wearing suits made of skin and bones and teeth and hair?

From Hidan:

Fucking Kakuzu getting on my fucking nerves today!

Wanna go half on a pizza?

Ditch that mission with the puppet, it’s hot let’s go swimming.

My shampoo is half gone let me find out it was you who used it asshole!

Did u see how Uchiha limped outta the shark’s room 😏?

I accidentally took Konan’s bra from the laundry room n now I’m scared to give it back bc she’ll beat my ass like last time 😓.

From Itachi:

Did you take my face cream?

Did you take my lotion?

Did you eat my dango from the fridge?

Do you have the $20 you owe me?

Where did you put my sandals?

Are you the one who left that drawing of me and Kisame on the bathroom door?!

From Obito (using a fake number):

You’re so beautiful.

That puppet doesn’t deserve you.

I would treat you like a king.

I’ve been in love with you since the day I met you.

Every time I see your face my heart sings with joy and pain. Joy from the miracle of your existence, pain from knowing I will never have you.

What? No! Who is this “Tobi” you speak of??

From Konan:

Face masks tonight?

Made brownies you want one?

Did you borrow my leave in conditioner?

Quick come to my room I have some hot “tea” from Konoha !!

From Kakuzu:

Rent’s due.

You either kick in for your share of the utilities or I’m cutting your lights off tonight.

You and Hidan get your asses downstairs and clean up all this mud you tracked into the house!

Start picking up your food and drinks or I’m putting you outside. You are attracting ants. We can’t afford the bug guy again.

If I step in one more wad of clay I’m throwing it all in the trash!

Please cease your attempts to set Tobi on fire. We can’t afford hospital bills OR a lawsuit.

Fuck no. I can barely feed you little brats. A dog is out of the question!

I just got this months phone bill. STOP PLAYING ALL THOSE DAMN GAMES BRAT! That phone is for BUSINESS COMMUNICATION only!!

From Nagato:

Mission report due IMMEDIATELY.

We need to talk about the grievances Tobi has brought to my attention.

Don’t lie: were you and Hidan the ones who put black hair dye into my shampoo bottle?

Stop giving our address to food delivery drivers. This is a HIDEOUT. We are supposed to be laying low.

From Zetsu:

The next time you decide to set off a bomb in a public place can you be considerate enough to ASK whether I was planning on eating any of the people first?! 

From Kisame:

Come help me scale these fish and you can have some when I cook them.

Like a double date? Sure. But only if you swear to be nice to Itachi.

No. Samehada is not a toy.

I don’t care kid, make Itachi cry again and I’m biting your head off.

Swimming?

It’s not chocolate it’s a protein shake.

From Sasori:

Already said No. Stop begging.

Dinner tonight?

You left your shirt in my room.

Stop asking me to rate your selfies. I’m a busy man. And they all look the exact same.

Only if you agree to wear a hairnet or something. I’m not spending an hour picking blonde hairs out of my sheets like last time.

Oh come on, please? You’d be the centerpiece of my entire collection!

No. Stop being lazy and write your own mission report.

I miss you. 

Did you spill juice on that puppet? It’s all sticky.

Kakuzu said No? What’d you do to piss him off?

Alright. Be safe. Love you ❤️

Hey hear me out

Barista loser hobie?

Barista loser hobie who sees you in the coffee shop he works at one day and you soon become one of his regulars. The two of yall are absolutely smitten with each other but the other doesnt know. But either way he is so sweet but so nervous and gets so jealous when other customers of his flirt with you. Or when his workers will jokingly flirt with you or not tell him your here just to mess with him a but, its all for jokes. Just them being playful about his silly crush on you, thats until one of them accidentally spill something hot on you and the worker apologizes but hobie gives you one of his shirts after making sure you wouldnt be burnt from the hot drink you had. Thats the moment when you told him you liked him and keep coming to see him because of how much you liked him. He still gets jealous even when yall are dating finally about other customers even if you shove them off stating your happy in your relationship. It makes him happy though, especially when you fuck him in the back after hes closed the shop claiming him as yours and making him realize that you arent living him as you milk his cock. You tease him asking if he wants to be your baby daddy as you get him to cum inside you in the back office (so not near the food or any supplies you use to cook.) basically showing him that you only want him as you fuck him after customers were flirting with you, but you also do it when his customers flirt with him. Hobie immediately gets repulsed by them flirting while you get possessive and make marks on him more visible no matter what it takes. You get more violent and rough when your jealous or possessive, loser hobie loved that. Absolutely adores it whenever your riding him and he cums inside you still trying to apologize and beg for more of you as yalls cum mix together both inside you and on his cock.

Dilf loser hobie?

He becomes smitten when you call him for a meeting for how good his kid is doing in your class, you talk with how shes so proud of his kid and how hed done a great job of raising her. Talking about how much you love her and how kind and helpful she is for others. As you and him have a conversation about his daughter and he loves it as a single dad. Its been hard on him and he doesnt always get praise like that and ut validates him. You validating him has made himw ant you so much more to where with anything with teachers that needed help from parents hed give it. Need volunteers for christmas parties and shit like that at school, and snacks? Fuck hes there he doesnt give a shit. He is always there and he helps you amazinging, he also volunteers to help on fieldtrips and even if he cant volunt he goes on the fieldtrips as parents are allowed to do it. You genuinely love talking to him and he has your number since he needs to be able to talk to you and ask you questions. Hes definitely took advantage of that and now you and him text more on a daily basis whenever he cant see you. He is so utterly obsessed with you and his kid together or when his kid talks about you. He thinks this could be it as you care for his daughter and it seems you care a lot for him. And he is just absolutely smittened with you, like it floors him how good and sweet you are. God even as a loser he knows how to do a lot of stuff. And at parties and other stuff when he sees you bend over at all or in the slightest way he wants to be inside you fucking you from behind. His daughter is at a sleepover and he has been masterbating to the thought of you thinking how dirty he is. He has photos of you, some you dont know he has as he snuckily got them but he still did. He cums and whimpers your name as he is gripping his own cock as his hips jerked up when he came. He has to take some deep breathes for a little bit. God do you plague his mind though, he decided to go out and he saw you. He immediately went to talk you! And you were happy and accepted the convo with full arms, though it wasnt about school or his daughter, but just about yourselves. You talk about each other and learn more about each other, he then reveals he likes you and it puzzles you. You just smile at him and say you like him too but would like to build a deeper commection. He is surprised, he believed you were way out of his league, plus youd dont have kids would you really want to date an old man with a kid? Like your gorgeous, model worthy so he is worried and scared. He even says that to you and you say you dont care about all that, you say you find him incredibly attractive, just you also wanna get to know him better to see if morals align and what you want align. You state you dont care much if someone has kids, you say your fine with kids and even fine with ever having some of your own (wether its adopting or well birthing.) Thats all you care for and it makes him melt to be honest, he thinks your incredibly to good for anyone. He and you soon date shortly after and youve been amazing, he feels as if he doesnt deserve you and he gets upset when the other staff at school flirt with you, especially in front of him. But you calm him down and tell him you already have someone you love, you are so overprotective of him as someone told you to leave him and that he isnt good enough and you shoved it to them basically going in a rant that probably destroyed that whole persons career. You just love hobie so much and youve realize that, you love his kid as well who also loves you. I mean hell the kids already calling you mama/papa, so the kid already adores you. It only warms your heart with such a family like that. Its a small family in its own way and yall all go view Christmas lights together and it makes you three all so happy to be able to do that. Dilf hobie is extremely protective of you and his daughter though. He saw how bad men are to anyone, so he has an arm around your waist protevtively while his daughter is on his shoulders. (Text maxed out i cant continue my rant😭)

Didn't know I needed dilf Hobie until now

Getting on Track ☕️

My top 4 focuses 💌

- Beauty sleep

- Limit phone usage & streaming services

- More real world experiences

- 10pm bed time & 5:30-6am mornings

* Let’s break down our days into 3 sections, morning, evening & night. Your morning sets the tone for the rest of your day so it is important to cherish that time. Your nights prepare you for the next day. Beauty sleep is extremely important, staying up late isn’t the vibe anymore especially as a young adult. We need to make sure we’re getting enough rest.

The Morning: 6am- 11am ☀️

- No phones for the first hour of the day. My Phone will be turned off and placed in a drawer. Don’t use your phone as an alarm.

- Make bed & then get in the shower within 15 minutes of being up. Create your ideal morning routine. It’s ok if it’s simple.

- A simple 10 minute workout routine and a 10 minute walk for fresh air / going to the gym to walk on the treadmill is perfectly fine. Staying active is super important for your health and beauty. Again this doesn’t have to be difficult or dramatic, a simple 10 minute work out and an additional 10 minute walk is perfectly fine. Use small weights to keep your arms strong and toned, I don’t do heavy lifting and I never will.

- Get ready for the day: I believe you should shower first thing in the morning. I don’t believe in going to the gym smelly, unless you showered the night before. After your work out it’s time to do hair, makeup & put on a cute outfit. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t going anywhere. One thing I always do is get ready for the day no matter what, if my dishes aren’t washed I’m still doing my hair, makeup and putting on a cute outfit.

- Make a breakfast that is filling and energetic but not heavy, a heavy breakfast will leave you feeling tired, lazy and it might even put you to sleep.

- Read for 10 minutes, it’s important that we keep our mind strong. Reading books daily is super important. I struggle with this but I am trying to do better. (You can even go to a cafe to do this.)

- Plan out your day for 15-25 minutes. You might only need 10 minutes but personally I like to take my time planning my day because it’s fun. I like using a journal, Pinterest and notion to plan my day.

The Evening: 12pm-6pm 🩰

* This is the time during the day where you just finished getting ready and you aren’t sure what to do so you’ll usually get bored and go on your phone or a streaming service like youtube or Netflix. This takes up a significant amount of our time and it can be extremely wasteful. We’re wasting precious time on our phones avoiding the real world. It’s very important for our growth that we try and work on this. Let’s say no to binge watching and let’s say yes to trying something new. Basically it’s time to get work done. Here are some ideas

- Work on your goals, if you don’t have any then create new goals

- Practice that language you’ve been wanting to learn

- Try new hobbies

- Go out on the town! Go to an art museum, go to the farmers market, a cafe, a bar or a lounge. Google events going on in your city. Just get out of the house and be out in the public. This is something I’m looking forward to trying because I’m actually sick of constantly being at home when I should be out experiencing the world. I did go out alone a lot this year but I want to make this a habit. We’re young and we’re hot let’s not waste our youth staying inside all the time.

*Most importantly stay out of bed and stay out of your room.

The Night: 7pm-10pm 🌙

* This is the time where the day is coming to an end and you can relax and unwind.

- Make a yummy dinner

- Run a hot bath or a quick shower

- Watch your favorite shows or put on a movie for a couple of hours but no binge watching!!

- Do skincare and go to bed by 10pm to get your beauty sleep.

* Use a journal or an app to track your habits*

Extra ideas 💡

- Take new pictures and videos and update your dating profile or add new pictures to your social media!

- Hit up and old/new friend and see if they’re free to go out

- Check out that bar/restaurant you’ve been wanting to try and get out of the house. You’ll be so glad you did. A friend told me that the best time to go out safely is between 4-8pm. For beginners go around 12:30-2:30pm because the bar will be slower and less people will be there. That’s only if you have really bad anxiety and haven’t been out before.

* We’re in our 20’s and we shouldn’t be acting like we’re in our grandma eras. Let’s enter our dream self eras. The showing up for yourself era. The say no to being sluggish era. The productivity era.

MARAAAAAA

🥖- baguette for u <33

Do you have any wholesome au/headcanons for the Haligtree twins??

(Please take as much time as you need, ik you're busy!!)

BIIIIMBOOOOOM

thaaank you for the baguette, imma make a long ass sandwich and divide it for all the cool peeps in here 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪 <- come grab your snack y'all

I didn't have any headcanons, but I made some:

~

Malenia:

She was a very happy and active kid. The Rot couldn't be as powerful as she was growing up, so she was mostly fine, apart from some weekly nightmares. (the true horrors began at her teens)

She loved horses and often begged Radahn for a ride on Leonard. Leonard was also the only horse that allowed her on its back, cause most other animals smelled the Rot in her even then.

She also really liked ants and spent days looking the go to and from their nests. Sometimes she would find some that looked lost, and she'd use a leaf to guide them back to the nest entrance.

She had a Runebear plushie and she kept it even as an adult. It currently gathers dust in the end of a self but she still gets a comforting feeling when seeing it.

When she began training with her swordmaster, they used sticks (she was barely a teen) and while they were breaking them daily in their clashes, she kept the fragments of the very first stick she used. They are coated in wood oil to prevent degradation and she keeps them hidden in a tightly shut chest in her room.

She loves the sea breeze and the sound of distant waves crushing on the shore.

She really likes listening to Miq reading her stories. Which he does often, and if the Rot is acting up, his reading soothes her.

Winter is her favourite season. Snow and ice help soothe her pain at the places where the Rot has torn her flesh.

She also likes eating frozen cream with honey on top. If the winter days happen to be warm and the night ice melts early, she wakes up in the middle of the night to gather it and make a couple bowls.

Miquella:

Miq was a social and a bit clingy kid.

Many nights he woke up and he would run to sleep with his mother/father. (Which would also prompt Malenia to follow him)

His own plushie was a red wolf.

He really loved the real Red Wolf of Radagon, and would bury his face in its fur every time he got the chance.

Marika used to makes his braids, one of the few times she was actively motherly to him. Despite his many differences with her, he always enjoyed the process and even let her do it after he reached adulthood (in mind and years).

Malenia quickly learned to do them after they left the Erttree, and each morning she does them, it's a quiet and peaceful time for both of them.

His favourite season is spring and he adores, adores flowers and caterpillars.

His favourite flower is the one he cultivated himself, Miquella's Lily, and he becomes overjoyed when he sees one growing in the wild on its own, outside of his garden.

Speaking of gardens, his is a little water garden only he cares for, and all the plants he raises bloom with an amazing health and radiance.

He loves the sun and always tries to sneak a couple minutes from his work to just... lay under its rays and relax.

~

Hope you like them! Also, I have it stuck in my head that they both love hot cocoa from that one mention I read in Stolen so I should add that here too. Hmm, hmm.

(I always make time for moots, I just write slow 👍)

Thank you for the ask! <333

#elden ring #malenia blade of miquella #miquella the unalloyed #headcanons #asks #i also kinda focused a bit in their earlier years #cause their situations in the current timeline... are not very wholesome #:/

City in Darkness Pt.1 : Flying horses

I swing through the brightly lit canyons of New York City on a single strand of webbing. Below me the city is ablaze with light, from the powerful spotlights framing it's most famous buildings to the soft glow of hundreds of street lamps and apartment windows. It is clearly summer and the warm weather has most of the population outdoors. Couples stroll along the sidewalks, stopping to watch street performers. Executives out on the town hail taxis bound for the theater district. Musicians sound out hot, muggy tones on saxes and clarinets, providing the soundtrack for the small-time hustlers plying the crowd with games and wagers.

I have a bird's-eye view of it all. Or in my case, a Spider's-eye view. I swing down the street, high above the bustle, my weblines arching from their special wrist-mounted shooters, providing a set of strands to carry me from skyscraper to skyscraper. I've gotta get across town fast–a meeting with the Daily Bugle editor Robert Robertson was supposed to start five minutes ago, and lateness is not a virtue looked for in freelance photographers. Not even when Jolly James Jonah Jameson was in charge.

Of course, when it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight, Web-Slinger express is the only way to travel.

I hit a break between buildings where my lines might not reach the next tall structure. Rather than risk missing a shot and wasting web fluid, I tuck into a roll, straighten at the last instant, and make a perfect two-point landing on a movie marquee.

"Hey, it's Spider-Man!" Shouts a voice from the crowd below. Heads turn and I feel the warm gaze of the admiring public.

"Wow!"

"Cool!"

"I thought he was from a comic book?!"

"George, get out your phone!"

Ah, the trials and tribulations of being a celebrity superhero. Adored by millions, or at least hundreds, capable of stunts only dreamed of by mere mortal men, in reality mild-mannered camera hound Peter–

"Ya lousy bum!"

The last comment breaks through my reverie and catches me by surprise. Not the words of an admirer, even in New York. I scan the crowd below to spy my detractor.

"Yeah, you, Spider-bitch! You're a damned menace to society! I read about it in the Bugle! Jameson says your a crook!" The heckler is a nondescript man, about 30, wearing a tan jacket and a Mets cap. I could pass this guy on the street without ever noticing him.

Beneath my mask, I frown deeply. Ok, Spider-Man, do you really wanna take this kind of grief, or do you wanna teach this loudmouth a lesson?

"According to The Daily Bugle, Ant-Man is the Hulk's tailor," I shout back, already shooting my next web-line. "And if you believe that, there's this bridge I want to sell you." A ripple of laughter runs through the gathering crowd, leaving the heckler red and fuming.

Unwilling to spend a beautiful summer evening arguing with a heckler, I swing off, climbing the web-line as I go.

I only get about a half a block away when I hear the loud, dull whumpph of an explosion nearby. The explosion is followed by the chatter of gunfire, mixed with an electric crackle that sounds like a high-schools science experiment gone wild.

Rob Robertson will have to wait. Something has come up–something that requires the presence of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

The shots are coming from near by. Swinging around the corner, I get the full picture from three stories above street level.

The center of the street is blocked by an overturned armored vehicle. The truck bears an insignia of a blue horse's head, but otherwise looks like standard US government issue. The truck's massive rear door has been blown off it's hinges and is laying nearby. Army Jeeps, also with the blue horse-head symbol, are pulled over in front and rear of the truck–apparently escorts for whatever was inside the truck.

The occupants of the Jeeps, men and women dressed in blue uniforms, have piled out and are using the vehicles for cover. Their attackers are across the street, crouched in an alleyway: two men, dressed in green body suits, armed with massive weapons that resemble WWII bazookas. These weapons are the source of the unearthly crackling I heard earlier, and the pair are firing random bolts of yellowish lightning at the guards in the Jeeps, keeping them pinned down.

The smoke from the fight clears for a moment, and I see in neat lettering beneath the symbol on the truck, the word: "PEGASUS". Good Gravy! The boys and girls in blue are from Project: PEGASUS.

Project: PEGASUS is an alternate energy source project located in upstate New York, funded by the state department of energy. In the past, the project has investigated alternate forms of energy derived from super-powered criminals, a number of which are former foes of mine. An empty armored truck does not bode well. At least I know who's team I'm on. Whoever would try to knock over an armored truck belonging to PEGASUS has to be up to no good.

I'm not sure why these two groups chose a crowded New York city street to fight in, but it's apparent the guys in green are not too worried about inflicting civilian casualties. This looks like a job tailor-made for the web-slinging wonder, and it might also be a good time to make a few bucks shooting Spider-Man in action.

I find a likely-looking ledge nearby and, drawing my camera out from my belt, mount it firmly with a dab of webbing. I activate the automated timer to continuously snap shots at 5-second intervals.

All these actions come automatically, smoothly developed over years of taking pictures of myself in action. These pictures, sold first to Jameson and the to Robertson at The Daily Bugle, have supplemented my income over the years, and are now my main source of ready cash.

I watch the unfolding battle and notice that the guys in the blue jumpsuits from PEGASUS are taking a pounding from their attackers. There doesn't seem to be a lot of movement from around the truck, one of those heavily armored monsters favored by the military, but fortunately there are no dead bodies, either. The guys with the lightning-firing bazookas look like members of HYDRA, but the green on their uniforms is too washed-out and they are missing the distinctive armband. Could some other flaky subversive group with bad taste have picked up these outfits at a rummage sale and decided to blow up government vehicles?

My fashion analysis is forgotten as my Spider-Sense, the heightened extra-sensory perception that warns me or immediate danger, kicks into full gear. One of the goons in the alley has spotted me, and the way my Spider-Senses are tingling in my head tell me he's got me lined up in his crosshairs.

I dodge out of the way at the last moment, as a massive bolt of electricity carves an equally large gash out of the brick wall, just inches away from my camera. If I wasn't sure before that the guys with the heavy artillery are the bad guys, that little bit of hate mail convinces me. Not only are these fellas dangerous, they're downright unfriendly. Could it be they're friends of that loudmouthed Mets fan, or at least be listening to the same podcasts and reading the same editorials?

My dodging drops me down to just above street level. One of the PEGASUS guards spots me and waves me away. "Get back!!" She shouts, "it's dangerous around here!"

"Surely you jest!" I snap back. "It's more dangerous trying to catch a cab when the theaters and bars let out than this little garden party." I'm too low to web up the bad guys without catching some innocent bystanders. My best move would be to try to get in between the two thugs.

I tense my muscles to leap across the street.

Flexing the muscles that give me the proportional strength and agility of a spider, I leap into the fray. A bolt of energy sears across the street, blasting through the wall directly behind me.

If I'd hung around there, I'd be a crispy critter for sure.

I somersault through the air and over the line of PEGASUS guards.

"Hold your fire, ladies and gents!" I shout, bouncing off the hood of the nearest Jeep. "Perforating my uniform with lead violates the warranty and will mess up your civil service record something fierce!"

A blast of lightning-like forces ionizes the air on top of the Jeep where I stood just moments before. Before the flash has dimmed I'm across the street, directly above the goons.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you guys don't like me. You've been reading the editorials in the Bugle, haven't you?" I quip, as I drop between them. "If you surrender now, I'll arrange for Jameson to visit your cell."

"Eat shock-zooka, webspinner!" Says the thug on my right as he fires a blast from his futuristic weapon.

"Shock-zooka!!" I laugh, dodging the fiery blast. "You'd think the people who use these deadly gadgets would at least come up with an original name for them! Sounds like a monster that fought Godzilla for Tokyo."

Before the thug can get in another shot, I rush him, grabbing the battery-operated bazooka and ripping it from his grasp. The goon on my left, a little dumpier than the other, watches in wonderment, muttering "He moves so fast." The second goon seems so amazed by my speed he has forgotten to aim his own weapon at me.

"You guys are just slow as snails," I taunt, lashing out with both arms at the assailants, "And now it's nighty-night time Shnooky-Ookums!"

I catch both goons flush on the jaw. The weapons clatter to the ground, and I'm left the only one standing in the alley.

So why is my Spidey-Sense still ringing in my ears like a three-alarm fire? I scan the empty alleyway, and no one is there. Not even any garbage or trash cans. A suspiciously well-kept New York alley…

Except for that manhole…

My Spidey-Sense shifts to a frantic pitch, and I realize the danger is from the manhole itself! Something nasty's down there, and I don't think I want to be here to find out what it is!

I leap straight up into the air, reaching for a fire-escape ladder hanging twenty feet up. I am no less than halfway towards my goal when the shockwave of an explosion sends me flying even higher! The booming thunderclap comes from below, and the walls shake as flames jet out the mouth of the manhole. The ground is shattered into a crazy quilt of broken asphalt.

The darkness of the alley is brilliantly lit for a half a heartbeat. The ground heaves and cracks run through the walls. I am thrown clear of the mouth of the alley and only avoid injury from a jagged piece of broken flying pipe by curling into a rolling crouch.

I land on the overturned security truck. Smoke drifts through the alleyway. My two playmates are sprawled out at the mouth of the alley. Guards from the PEGASUS protect are already checking them, while others are moving down the alley itself. A tall blonde woman in a blue jumpsuit stands in the midst of the scene, barking orders. Her hair is pulled back into a tight bun, and she seems to be taking the entire situation, explosion included, as a personal affront.

"Get down that alley!" She shouts at a pair of men, "try to find them!"

"Find who?" I ask, jumping down next to her. She glances at me sideways long enough to know that I am still among the living, but doesn't reply. Find who?! I still want to know. I thought I already took care of the crooks involved.

One of the guards approaches me and the blond woman. "I've contacted the NYPD. Paramedics are en route. There's an APB out for 'em."

"All-points Bulletin?! Who are you looking for?" I ask, but again receive no answer. "I only saw two goons. How many more were there?"

Another guard comes out of the alley. "Explosion in the sewers, ma'am. Awful mess. Must've been an arms depot or something. No sign of them. They must have had a vehicle waiting at the other end of the alley."

"Now wait just a minute!" I shout, turning around to face the head honcho. "Who is missing? Who got away? Who are you looking for?"

She stares at me for a moment, as if I just wandered on to the scene."I suppose you would need to know," she says. "You missed seeing them take him away."

"Let's just say, given the fact that I almost had my head handed to me by thugs with sci-fi blasters, I'm more than mildly curious." Mentally, I am counting to ten.

"We were escorting a prisoner from project headquarters to a parole hearing when we were ambushed." She explained. "The prisoner's name is Maxwell Dillon. You probably know him as Electro."

ELECTRO!

Early in my career as the webspinning wonder I first crossed paths with Maxwell Dillon, better known as the villainous Electro. A freak bolt of lightning transformed him from a lineman for Consolidated Edison into a master of living electricity, who promptly turned his newfound talents to crime. Each time he has gone on a rampage, I have hunted him down and caught him, and each time he has found a way to escape.

A wave of rage washes through me. To be so close and let him get away! Electro has never been one to learn his lesson, or even to lie low for a little bit. He'll be around, looking for revenge! And until he makes his move, me and all the people around Spider-Man are targets.

"Spider-Man?" The commander of the PEGASUS security force intrudes on my thoughts, "I would like to thank you for your help. When these guys recover we'll be sure to get some answers out of them."

"Right," I say, shaking my head. "But by that time, Electro will be miles away."

She shrugs her shoulders. "We do the best we can, when we can. Look, these clowns are going to St.Arbogast's Hospital. Is there somewhere you can be reached when they come to?"

"I'll be around."

"Have it your way, then," she says, nodding, "if you have problems, tell them Captain Nash sent you." With that she turns away and starts shouting at her troops. "You men! Clear those Jeeps out of the way! Let's let those ambulances in! Bashfield! You and Lawson help set up the barriers. Have the police brass arrived yet?!"

Just wonderful. Electro on the loose and all I caught werr a couple of small fry. To top it all off, Peter Parker is even later for that meeting. Some days, as the rabbit said, you shoulda stood in bed.

I leap atop the overturned truck, bouncing off the PEGASUS emblem. At the high point of the leap, I loose a single strand of webbing, mooring it against a handy flagpole jutting out from the Empire State Building three stories above me.

Twisting my body, I swing up to the highest point, then fire another strand, and in this fashion swing off into the night, hoping to make it to the Bugle before Robbie gives up hope on me. Behind me, the whine of the police sirens and the shouts of captain Nash are lost in the ambient city noise.

How do you think Dick reacts to be mistaken for Damian’s father? How would Damian react if Dick didn’t correct someone making the mistake?

Okay, so before I get into that, I want to talk about how I personally see the dynamics between Damian with Bruce, Talia, and Dick. I don't accept the idea that Talia al Ghul is a bad parent or that the al Ghuls are super abusive in the way comics has portrayed them from Morrison's run and after. I think it's racist, and I think it's overall shitty writing. Damian Wayne had said he is proud of both Talia and Bruce, don't ask me where that happened. It's a miracle I even remember it happened. There's also the one thing of Dick and Damian that my pookie @confusedhummingbird reblogged one of my things with, and I'll just steal that delightful panel for your convenience.

Anyway, so basically what I'm saying is that I don't particularly enjoy when Dick is hailed as a great parent compared to Bruce and Talia. Bruce and Talia definitely have some horrible fuck-ups (with Talia's being very racist in nature, and I swear to gods if someone fucking tries arguing her character wasn't treated in a racist manner, you're getting blocked so fucking fast). Like Bruce definitely did some fucked up shit too, but in general, I don't necessarily think he does a completely shit job at being a dad. In fact, when Batman is written in a halfway decent way, he is a pretty good dad in my opinion.

While Dick definitely did a good job with Damian, I think it would be pretty out of character for Dick to just discount Bruce and Talia's role as parents for Damian unless it was something pretty big and bad for Damian, in which case Bruce and Talia are probably being written fucking weirdly.

So onto your actual question! I think Dick would be...not bashful, but somewhere in there. I also think he'd just take it in stride and not correct them unless Damian wanted him to. He definitely doesn't want to overstep those kinds of boundaries with Damian if he has them. I also think depending on where they are at/what they are doing definitely contributes to how he'd react. Like when they were out as Batman and Robin, definitely was fine with the dad-son thing there. Out as Nightwing and Robin, doesn't bother to correct them. I don't think they'd get mistaken for being father-son in Gotham or in Blüdhaven, and I don't think any hero would mistake them for being father-son unless they were like new, new. But yeah, just depends.

I don't think Damian would really correct someone now. When Bruce died, in the period he was really learning from Stephanie, Dick, and Alfred, he probably would've corrected them. I don't think so now. I think family dynamics are a lot more fluid than people like to claim they are. Personally, I have a lot of people I see in parental roles, and one of them (which I don't see anymore because they are racist) were in a similar age range that Dick and Damian are. I didn't get mad or correct people when they thought I was their kid. I was either 1) embarrassed, 2) didn't care to make the effort to correct them, and 3) happy to be seen as such close family to them. That, and all the changes going on in his life at that time, and Dick's pretty much unwavering support for Damian leads me to believe that Damian wouldn't mind being seen as Dick's kid. I think he understands that Dick took on a parental role for him, and he can understand that he still has his biological parents to rely on.

SO! Basically, Dick doesn't correct people because I don't think a lot of people in their life would get it confused, and Damian doesn't mind because Dick is a parental figure in his life, and it isn't some sort of replacement figure for his biological parents.

He's not against playing games. Namely the kind that involve him hanging around in the vines overhead and following her daily hot-girl-walk at a safe distance.

Taking the opportunity of her startled glance, he slides down and gives her the sneakiest cheek peck!

“THE TROUBLE IN THE PRISONS,” The Porcupine Advance (Timmins).  November 24, 1932. Section 2, Page 4. ----- Recently there have been a number of newspapers in the Dominion that have been paying a great deal of attention to the recent riots in some of the penitentiaries of Canada. Up to the present moment The Advance confesses it may have given little space to this question, being too busy trying to see that decent, loyal people have a chance in life, attempting to secure more speed in the awarding of pensions to worthy returned soldiers, seeking to induce governments to provide work for the unemployed, pleading for a fair chance for the new and the old settlers in the North Land, working for needed roads in the North, begging that loyalty and honesty and industry be given first consideration and a few chores like that. 

However, the day has gone by when certain or uncertain daily newspapers can monopolize anything. The weekly newspapers can even be as ridiculous as some of the dailies, provided the weeklies really try. 

One of the favourite tricks of some of the dailies recently has been to quote convicts and ex-convicts to show what conditions really obtain in the penitentiaries of Canada. One newspaper has practically refrained from quoting off- cials of the prisons, because of the fear that the officials might be prejudiced. Of course, the prisoners are not like- ly to be biased, being the sort of men they are! On this basis, The Advance is taking the liberty of quoting a few ex-convicts and convicts who haven't ex-ed yet, with the constructive purpose of showing just what is wrong with the penitentiaries of Canada. These quotations are guaranteed to be as true and as reasonable as any published by any daily. But not more so! 

For instance, there is Convict No. 12121212. It would not do to give his name for obvious reasons, though he would delight in the publicity. Before he went to the penitentiary he was a notorcus petty thief, a confirmed liar, a persistent wife-beater. He went to prison for his shameless treatment of his two small daughters. Why should the word of a mere warden, or even a guard, be taken against that of a man like 12121212? All guards are brutal! Ask any cheap scoundrel in or out of jail! Convict 12121212 writes:-"It is awful here. No wonder there is trouble. The guards are so unfriendly. They act as if they felt they were superior to me. There is not one here that I can talk to like ant equal." 

Convict No. 777 come 11 feels his position keenly. "The cards were stacked against me!" he moans. He was sitting in a game of poker and doing well until a hot-headed and unreasonable hick Jumped up and cried that the cards were marked. "I had a knife in my hand wondering where I could slip it, when that fool hick in his rage and excitement bumped his breast against it says this convict. "When he got out of the hospital, I came here for three years." "It is the feeling of injustice that makes even prisoners revolt," he concludes. 

Then another sad case is 22222. He was making an easy living from a bunch of silly foreigners until the militarists and the capitalists and the bourgeois and the fascists and the Canadian Legion railroaded him to prison. "Even Rus- sin could not be much worse than this," he raves, "they make a man work here, too, and there isn't a soap box allowed in a cell." All his demands have been ignored. The guards wouldn't even call him comrade. Once he demanded a airloin steak and was served with sausage. "It's another capitalistic outrage," he cried. "No!" answered the guard, "bologna to you." "Give me liberty or give me death!" quoted 22232. "Of course, I don't exactly mean death," he added, "nor yet exactly liberty!" 

No. 99990: - What's the matter with the penitentiary? I don't know. But I know what's the matter with me! I don't like it here! I never even wanted to come." 

Convict 276151: The chief trouble here is the lack of daily newspapers. Had we been allowed to read a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper we would have known Just what we intended to riot about." 

No. 33333: Repeater:- "The service here isn't much better than a second-class hotel. 

No. 543215: - “Unless we are given our cigarettes regularly how can we be expected to save the coupons for the premiums." 

A hold-up artist apologizes for not using a number. "One of the guards here has my number," he explains. This man points out that the way things have been going at the pent- tentiary he would have been just about as well off if he had continued at college like his father wished him to do. "There were just about as many atheists and communists among the professors at the college as they are here," he concluded. 

Convict 88888: - "We demand cigarettes, liquor permits, radios, two hours a day, eight days per week, every night in the month. French-fried potatoes, Scotch whisky. Spanish onions, support for the Soviet, hands off China, $10.00 per week whether working or not, non-contributory burglary insurance and no church pew rents." This fellow chuckled and added: "You know I should be a mile or so from here.” 

A thug sentenced for robbery under arms writes pathetically: “They treat us here like as if we were criminals." 

Another gentle soul, more or less, complains about the severity of the punishment even for the most trivial of offences. "Why," he says, "I stuck a knife, just playfully, you know, in the back of a guard, and they kept me on bread and water oven after it was certain the guard was going to live. And they took away my knife and I never got it back though I paid two plugs of tobacco for it to the fellow who stole it from the shoe shop."

Of course, it is misleading to suggest, as some of the daily newspapers do, that all the convicts are disaffected. One man said: "I am satisfied here, because we have so few pacifists" 

Another convict goes so far as to suggest how the penitentiary might be made safe for prisoners. "The warden should take his pen in hand." he says. The penitentiary is the place for that man. The trouble with the prisons isn't the cost of upkeep, but the danger of outbreak. It is ap parent that the country is not suffering an overcrowding in the prisons but from too many being left on the outside.

if ants come into your house after the cat's food, mix a bit of borax (laundry booster) - about ¼t - with just enough hot water to wet it and about 3x as much cat food (wet, either from the can or dry with a bit more water to get it mushy)

mix this in a small jar

dribble a bit on the floor or counter where you see the ants coming in

clean up the rest of the ants (orange oil wood cleaner is amazing for this, it kills ants on contact and they dislike the smell so they won't return)

don't kill the ants at the entrance point, and don't spray cleaner there - but make an exclusion zone about a foot away in a circle around the entrance.

the ants that remain, and any that come in, will encounter what they came in for (protein) and will take some back to the nest... back to the queen... the borax will eliminate them at the source.

if they're coming in for sweets, you can do the same thing with jam or jelly, but in addition i suggest you be a bit more of a tidy eater. tbh that goes for the cats too, and as their slaves it does fall to us to clean their feeding area thoroughly daily to avoid such unpleasantry...

Medicinal mushrooms found in the 7 mushroom powders are recognized for their health potential, including hormonal balance. Chaga, known for its adaptogenic properties, indirectly supports sex hormone balance by aiding the body in adapting to stressors. Reishi, an adaptogen, has been studied for its ability to modulate the immune system and influence sex hormone balance. 

Cordyceps and Maitake are mushrooms associated with cardiovascular health, with Cordyceps aiding in improving blood circulation and Maitake contributing to heart health by regulating blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 

Lion's Mane is considered in the context of blood sugar regulation, influencing insulin sensitivity. Its main claim to fame is its ability to improve brain function.

In terms of adrenal hormones, Reishi and Cordyceps are recognized for their adaptogenic properties, which support the body's response to stress.

Chaga Mushroom and Its Health Impacts

Immune Boosting

Chaga is rich in beta-glucans, promoting immune system modulation and enhancing defense mechanisms against infections. This makes it a potent ally in supporting the body's ability to ward off illnesses.

Antioxidant-rich

Chaga contains antioxidants, including polyphenols and triterpenes. These compounds act as guardians against oxidative stress, a factor linked to disruptions in hormonal balance. By neutralizing free radicals, Chaga fosters an environment conducive to harmonious hormonal function.

Blood Sugar Balancing

Central to Chaga's prowess is its impact on blood sugar regulation. Through mechanisms not yet fully understood, Chaga has been observed to contribute to a balanced glucose metabolism. This is crucial for hormonal stability, as fluctuations in glucose levels can trigger cascading effects on various hormones.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Chaga's influence extends to the cardiovascular system, where it plays a role in maintaining heart health. Research suggests that Chaga contributes to cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and improving circulation. This not only supports cardiac health directly but also indirectly influences hormones associated with the cardiovascular system.

Adaptogenic 

As an adaptogen, Chaga possesses the remarkable ability to adapt its actions based on the body's specific needs. In the context of hormonal balance, this adaptogenic quality means that Chaga may assist in modulating hormone levels according to the body's requirements, promoting an adaptive and resilient endocrine system.

Coconut Milk and Its Health Impacts

Blood Sugar Balancing

Coconut milk boasts medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of saturated fat with distinctive properties. Unlike long-chain fatty acids, MCTs are rapidly absorbed and metabolized, serving as a quick energy source. This swift energy helps in managing blood sugar levels, preventing erratic spikes and crashes that can disrupt hormonal equilibrium.

Hormone Balancing

Coconut milk contains essential nutrients that serve as precursors of hormone production. For instance, the saturated fats in coconut milk play a role in the synthesis of hormones, including those involved in maintaining reproductive health. These building blocks are vital for the intricate web of hormonal interactions.

Nutrient Dense

Beyond MCTs, coconut milk is nutrient-rich. From vitamins like C and E to minerals such as magnesium and potassium, this combination of nutrients supports overall health. In the context of hormones, these elements act as cofactors and facilitators in various hormonal processes.

Cacao and Its Health Impacts

Protective

Cacao is rich in polyphenols, particularly flavonoids. These antioxidants aid in combating oxidative stress. In the context of hormones, this is crucial. Oxidative stress can disrupt hormonal signaling, and cacao acts as a guardian against this imbalance.

Elevating Neurotransmitters 

Cacao contains anandamide, aptly named after Ananda, the Sanskrit word for bliss. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that induces a sense of joy and bliss. In the intricate network of hormones, a positive mood supported by neurotransmitters can contribute to hormonal equilibrium.

Indulging in cacao can trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins play a role in stress reduction, fostering an environment conducive to hormonal balance.

Blood Sugar Balancing 

Cacao's flavonoids extend to blood sugar regulation. Studies suggest that these compounds may enhance insulin sensitivity, promoting efficient glucose metabolism. This is particularly beneficial in preventing the dramatic spikes and plunges that can disturb hormonal balance.

Heart Protective

The flavanols present in cacao are known to enhance vascular function and may contribute to the regulation of blood pressure. These compounds support overall cardiovascular health, making cacao a heart-friendly ingredient in the context of hormone balancing and blood sugar regulation.

Mineral-rich with Hormone Precursors

Abundant in magnesium, cacao supports muscle and nerve function, blood glucose regulation, and bone health. The presence of iron aids in oxygen transport, potassium contributes to proper heart and muscle contraction, and calcium ensures optimal bone health. Additionally, phosphorus plays a role in bone and tooth formation, while zinc supports immune function and wound healing. The inclusion of copper aids in iron absorption and red blood cell formation, and manganese serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation and reducing inflammation.

Cordyceps and Its Health Impacts

Hormone Balancing

Cordyceps, enriched with the active compound cordycepin, intricately engage with adenosine receptors known for their influence on hormonal balance, especially during stress responses. Through the modulation of these receptors, Cordyceps actively contributes to establishing a more serene hormonal milieu, fostering equilibrium in the complex interplay of biochemical messengers.

Blood Sugar Harmony

Within Cordyceps lie bioactive compounds that significantly aid in glucose metabolism. Scientific studies indicate its potential to enhance insulin sensitivity, facilitating more efficient glucose utilization. Cordyceps acts as a vigilant regulator, preventing erratic spikes in blood sugar levels and ensuring a harmonious interplay of metabolic processes.

Adaptogenic Influence

Cordyceps extends its influence to cortisol levels, a key player in stress response. Elevated cortisol levels often disrupt hormonal balance. Cordyceps, with their adaptogenic qualities, balance the cortisol response, contributing to an overall sense of hormonal harmony and stability amid stressors.

Cardiovascular Safeguard

In the realm of cardiovascular health, Cordyceps emerge as potent protectors. Its potential to lower blood pressure and enhance circulatory function acts as a safeguard for the heart. Within the hormonal ensemble, this herbal coffee plays a vital role in fostering cardiac health, contributing to the overall balance of the body's biochemical processes.

Energetic Vitality

Cordyceps, with their impact on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, introduce dynamic vitality to energy generation. Adequate ATP levels are fundamental for cellular energy, and Cordyceps ensures cells are well-equipped, indirectly influencing the vitality of hormonal processes in a balanced rhythm of energy exchange.

Optimal Oxygen Supply

Cordyceps supports respiratory function, ensuring optimal oxygen supply for metabolic processes, including those involving hormones. With its lung-tonifying reputation, Cordyceps contributes to the balanced functioning of hormonal processes.

Antioxidant Defense

Cordyceps is rich in antioxidants that enhance superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, and mycothione. These antioxidants neutralize free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body. Superoxide dismutase, in particular, is known for its ability to convert superoxide radicals into less harmful forms, protecting cells from oxidative damage. The presence of these antioxidants in Cordyceps contributes to its overall health-promoting effects and its potential to fortify the body's defense mechanisms against oxidative stress.

Stevia and Its Health Impacts

Blood Sugar Balancing

Stevia's sweet components, steviol glycosides, may contribute to insulin sensitivity. In the intricate regulation of blood sugar, Stevia ensures a balanced response, facilitating insulin's precise role and promoting hormonal equilibrium.

Stevia, with its natural sweetness and minimal caloric impact, takes a lead role in glucose metabolism. By providing sweetness without the glycemic load of sugar, stevia allows for regulated glucose dynamics without disrupting blood sugar levels.

Cardiovascular Support

Research suggests the potential cardiovascular benefits of stevia. In this context, Stevia may contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure, integrating seamlessly into the cardiovascular aspects of hormonal balance.

Hormonal Influence

Stevia's impact on hormones extends beyond sweetness. Through delicate interactions with taste receptors, it may signal satiety, potentially assisting in weight management—a factor intricately linked with hormonal balance.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Stevia is rich in polyphenols, which are a type of antioxidant. Polyphenols are plant compounds known for their potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 

Specifically, stevia contains various polyphenols, such as flavonoids and tannins, which contribute to its antioxidative effects. These antioxidants play a role in protecting the body's cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
