astrology observation 𓇼

(pics from pinterest)

capricorn mercury i love their dry sense of humor and dark sarcasm. my scorpio mercury be giggling like a baby when they tell a joke while everyone else blank stare the native, concerned about their dark humor. also their choice of words is so calculated and careful if developed, no sugarcoating tho, with well aspected could also be poetic. it’s so cute. ahhh my favs

lilith 3h knows how and when to push the button and let that intelligent communicator self take over lol literally can talk themselves out of anything and could wrap someone around their fingers by their words. school and/or siblings might be a hit or miss for them. it’s either good or bad, nothing in between.

mars 1h idk if it’s just me or not moving body when mentally in a better place for a whole day can cause natives a great emotion turmoil like (esp in virgo degree i guess💀) that’s why coping mechanism and serotonin booster includes deep cleaning room, groceries … oh maybe it’s just me ok

not to mention that healthy routine HELPS natives a lot i mean i guess it helps every human being but i feel like it emphasizes when it comes to mars 1h let me know if you resonates or not^^

earth moons with uranus prominent aspects/placements yes earth moons do need a stable routine to help them maintain their mind but with uranus influence esp if making aspects to mc, i think will most likely hate to have a 9-5 work, plus with prominence 9h/sagittarius, spontaneous career life is their go-to. their earth moons still want the stability tho so it could be that they have a stable morning and after work routine etc.

leo moon something about their hair that never fail to catch my attention. it’s like tho they did nothing their hair be thriving.

also something about head bumps because there was this one time i dreamed of a leo moon head bumping me just for me to wake up to an astrology observation (i can’t remember which one😿feel free to inform me so i can put credits here) says head bumping is a lion thing so leo placements tend to do that helpp- but tbh it’s so cute ><

earth moons w fire moons i rarely see astro community talk about this two together like it’s SO underrated. earth moon say the most straightforward, simplest compliments that get fire moon all flustered up and stuff like 😳 and firey do this most random, unprovoked things just to get reaction out of earthy. purely just vibing together. fire moon get earth moon out of their comfort zone, earth moon makes fire moon more grounded. seen them in many long terms relationships.

ex: EDIT : i just found out that brian groomed megan fox and actually so problematic so i deleted this example 🤢

ross lynch (aries moon) - jaz sinclair (capricorn moon)

aishwarya rai (capricorn moon) - abhishek bachchan (aries moon)

ryan gosling (capricorn moon) - eva mendes (leo moon)

moon conjucnt mercury synastry : moon be like ‘bruh you speak my mind’ while mercury ‘you read my emotions and know what to do with them without me talking it out so’ love this

moon conjunct chiron chiron making hard aspect to luminaries (emphasize on moon bcs istg…the pain towards deepest part of ourselves um) can manifest such a big impact in native’s life :,) and which part will be effected depends on houses where it sit in. however, as much as how diverse the conjunction can play out🤭 the same thing that wounded the natives could be the same thing that heal the natives. the key is to mastered the cruel (💀for real like who have this aspect would understand what i mean) chiron. as much as it makes you a severely wounded soldier in inner world’s field ffs, breaking the pattern of chiron can manifests a really great result.

moon prominent aspect in mother’s chart can be presented in your s/o’s chart or someone you like. for better or worse. 🧍‍♀️

mercury in sagittarius degree (9°,21°) philosiphize their words unintentionally and left people who had a conversation with them thinking about their words a lots esp when they give advice, they brought a whole new perspective to the person.

scorpio/8h prominent the struggle is real when someone they close with or trust don’t also hate their enemies. it’s a sign to retreat for them😠 ride or die. all or nothing.

lilith prominent/dominant men try so hard to hide their feelings and reactions when lilith prominent/dominant women come around. might even bully/pick on them at an extreme end. horrible at it finest when undeveloped ugh

taurus lilith square ascendant attract a lot of taurus mars and i have love-hate relationship with most of them

pisces rising really do get away with things. wittiness and chameleon energy of mutable + slyness of water = slay 💅

aries in big 6 literally always there in charts of ppl who heavily watch or fond of anime, manga

capricorn/cancer sun pair with scorpio/taurus sun no matter what others perceived them individually, they seems like a traditional couple to me lol when they’re together it gives ‘of course they’re together’ vibe. capricorn-scorpio and cancer-taurus more often than vice versa

pluto 3h i found myself thinking about what these natives say a looooot like even if it’s the most silliest stuff they said, it still echoes in my mind like ‘i think yellow is a really bizarre color’ and my mind goes 😮🤯😦😵‍💫🙀 wtff

; hihi, first i didn’t expect my previous astro notes to blow up this much so i want to say that i appreciated all the interactions and support <33 thank you so much and i hope whoever come across this astro ranting HEHE a really nice day/night and much fun reading this ⭐️

PLEASE DONT KEEP IT TO YOURSELF i need to hear all the deeanged cywhirlgate. I bet that little guy ruins them both

EVERYONE STRAP IN IVE NEVER BEEN MORE ON MY BULLSHIT THAN RN

Ahem. So to start this explanation of my hcs for cywhirlgate, you first must understand the basics.

FIRST OF ALL!! Every single person in this relationship is painfully, deeply, aggressively touchstarved and repressed. They have all been enjoying various aBSURDLY LENGTHY dry spells, though tailgate's sticks out as the longest(re: 6 MILLION YEARS IN A COMA STUCK IN A HOLE) and two of the three are fuckin... tsunderes about their emotions I guess. I obviously believe that being in a relationship with tailgate would kinda shake them out of that issue, but it'd probably take a while.

I feel like as well, though cyclonus and whirl obviously love each other, I think they'd both be the type to wrestle or fight each other as foreplay. I think they decide who tops between the two of them that way, while Tailgate just chills. I think that cyclonus and whirl are both switches(and so is tailgate as well) but they both demand that between each other they are ONLY tops and MUST be fought into submission(its their enrichment)

ADDITIONALLY!! You are right!! I hc Tailgate as the MAIN top of the relationship, partially because tailgate is widdle and neither whirl nor cyclonus want to injure his minibussy, but mainly because Tailgate is packin heat and he fucks like a monster.

(CROPPED BC I GOT FUCKING BLASTED AGAIN)

I also think that Cyclonus would absolutely get picked on by both of his partners bc he's got the only mouth in the relationship-

(THERE *WAS* A PIC HERE OF ANOTHER CYWHIRLGATE THREESOME BUT THIS SITE IS FOR BITCHES, GO SEE IT(and the other cropped piece) ON MY TWITTER IG)

I also think just generally they'd all be the type to snuggle after sex, but tailgate would have to be the one to initiate bc whirl and cyclonus are playing tough guy chicken to see who breaks and admits they wanna cuddle and be soft first.

SIDE NOTE- WHIRL HC! I think whirl has a drooling problem. I made this very clear in my chapter of survey says that features him- and also in my drawings I did for this post- but I think when whirl gets really happy or horny or overwhelmed he would start drooling bc his intake is in a weird spot and it can't hold excess oral solvent inside so good-

basically this.

ANYWAYSSS those are the basics, I think they're pretty vanilla as far as like actual legit BDSM stuff goes, but I do think they're the types to frag in the woods or a broom closet or something? I imagine on the rare occasions that tailgate bottoms there's some fun with large insertion and stuffffff..... I also think cyclonus bites when he gets the chance, and whirl would also bite if he had a mouth. OH I also believe whirl chases his partners around like i hc drift does, but its all fun no shame for him, he knows they love to play with him.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME ON CYWHIRLGATE! CYWHIRLGATE FOREVER! CYWHIRLGATE FOR ALWAYS!

Propaganda

Greta Garbo (Camille, Anna Karenina, Queen Christina)—Enigmatic and alluring and made me bisexual. The perfect example of the eroticism in silent films that literally transcends text. Could literally not change anything about her expression but you knew by looking at her eyes what she was thinking. She’s so gorgeous.

Lilian Bond (The Old Dark House)—I owe whoever submitted her for the prelims a huge bouquet of roses bc WOW I'm in love?? The prelims grouped all the ladies by decade and the way she stood out against the beauty standards of the 30s immediately caught my eye (and also that unfairly sexy pic good GOD). There's something about her that feels so real, like you could just walk up to her and start chatting away. I wound up watching The Old Dark House for her and was so charmed. She's so fun to watch! Look at her eyes! Her eyebrows! Her Cupids bow! Her legs! She's both sexy and cute, silly and serious, and I find her absolutely enchanting.

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Garbo:

A cold-ass Swedish WLW Sphinx. Had plans to murder Hitler that she never got around to. "She will remain always a child of vikings, moved about by a snowy dream."

First of all, she's on the money; that's how much of a treasure she is. She's beautiful in such a distinct way you need very few lines to draw her. (Drawing by Einar Nerman) She managed to be mesmerizing in both silent and sound films. She kissed a woman in Queen Christina (and probably several more in real life). She was super dry and really funny in Ninotchka. She got the hell out of Hollywood and stayed out, living for almost 50 years after her retirement.

Garbo is one of the many reasons why I'm gay. If you haven't seen Queen Christina please do, She is so gender in that film. Also her accent makes it sound like she's always talking in cursive and it's so hypnotic (or at least I think so).

She's a gay introvert, like all of us here on Tumblr.

Mysterious and aloof, charismatic and enigmatic, with beautiful androgynous characteristics, Garbo is undoubtedly the most eccentric and unique Hollywood vintage star. Her aversion to fame and stardom makes her even more desirable to the audience, and her insane chemistry with the camera, an actress one of a kind! Her particularity and her oddity is what discerns her strongly from her hollywood co workers at the time, noone was like her and would never be like her. I think, to the utmost extent, that she deserves the title of the hottest vintage star, even though that would be an understatement of what she is!

SO gorgeous, her thick Swedish accent makes will turn your brain into pudding

Probabaly a lesbian, absolutely a mood when she retired

Bond:

I know you've said you prefer text to pics but I just love this first pic so so much - she just feels so present and I feel like it captures everything I love about her so well.

you guys, she's literally sooooo cute! i had no idea before i saw her acting, but she has this lovely sort of lively, natural energy. she's really just a joy to watch! thanks to the person who submitted her for introducing me to her! ❤️

Here I come, finally updating this incredibly angsty fanfiction :') I hope y'all enjoy this. Writing this fic breaks my heart, guys… it feels raw, honestly. Maybe I'm just speaking like this bc I'm on my period + I'm listening to a sad Taylor Swift song but omg my heart aches rn

Not proofread. I'm sorry, babies, I'm dead rn. So freaking sleepy and finishing this at 5 am bc my mind just wouldn't let me sleep and kept forcing me to think about and write this chapter.

Part 5: The sand hurts my feelings

𓇼

It hits different 'cause it's you

I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost

Rip the Band-Aid off and skip town like an asshole outlaw

Freedom felt like summer then on the coast

Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings

And I never don't cry at the bar

Yeah, my sadness is contagious

Hits Different (Taylor Swift)

𓇼

"Hey." Neteyam greeted you in a dry tone. He found it hard to look into your eyes so he just gazed rapidly into them and then kept his eyes on the ground.

His heart was broken, aching and his pride was shattered. Neteyam hated to see everybody around him looking at him with pity in their faces, knowing that he had been dumped by the girl he loved. He wondered if the boys - Lo'ak, Rotxo and Ao'nung - looked down on him now. Neteyam suddenly felt like he was not a good hypothetical mate. He had always thought he would make a good, reliable and loving mate to the girl he would one day choose to be his but you made him start doubting that after last night. He knew it was probably stupid but still he couldn't seem to get rid of those feelings.

You tried to hide your uneasiness but it was written all over your face.

"Hi." You answered Neteyam, your heart pounding in your chest, anxiety leaving your hands cold.

The pain you were causing Neteyam could be easily seen in the way his jaw clenched, in the way he weirdly looked insecure instead of confident as he always seemed to be. You wanted to say "I'm sorry", you wanted to say "Maybe I did the wrong thing when I refused to become your mate" but you had seen him with Munì. It was useless now, anyway.

Lo'ak looked at Neteyam, then back at you and then he would redo the whole thing all over again, like he was waiting for the both of you to exchange more words. Poor thing. He seemed even more tense than Neteyam and you.

"Rotxo, Ao'nung" Neteyam rapidly called, looking now at the Metkayina boys "Tonowari is waiting for us. Clan business." His voice was serious and seemed slightly annoyed, his face stern 

You wondered if Neteyam said "clan business" instead of giving more detail because you were sitting there too and he was mad at you. Well, you didn't blame him if that's how he felt. You deserved it. You could have been nicer to him this morning.

"Let's go!" Lo'ak spoke loudly, like he was trying to get out of that awkward situation as fast as he could

"Chill out, forest boy. We're going." Ao'nung teased and Rotxo laughed 

"I'm Metkayina now, fish lips. Stop calling me that." Lo'ak responded 

Frenemies indeed.

The boys left and your gaze was fixed on Neteyam's back as he walked away next to the other Metkayina. As you looked down at the beach floor, you wished that ache inside you would just vanish but life doesn't work that way.

When you looked up, you saw Tsireya's and Kiri's big feline eyes fixed on your face. It scared the crap out of you. They seemed even wider now.

"What?!" You sounded legitimately startled

"Neteyam told me and Lo'ak he was gonna ask you to be his mate at the party." Kiri stated

"And how the hell did every person in this tribe find out about that? Did he tell them too?" You didn't mean to sound rude but you really were overwhelmed by the situation

"It's just me, my brother and Rotxo. Only we know, other than Kiri and Lo'ak. My stupid brother overheard Kiri asking Neteyam how it had went, what answer you had given to Neteyam and he told Rotxo. I saw them laughing like idiots and asked what was so funny. That's when Ao'nung told me." Tsireya said, like she was sorry about the fact that so many people knew about yours and Neteyam's intimate business

𓇼

The day after that, you and the girls went back to Hell's Gate. You decided it was better to leave things the way they were. To let Neteyam have a nice, healthy and proper relationship with someone of his own kind. Like your father always used to say, na'vi and humans will never be equal. But he meant it in a derogatory way, with prejudice against the na'vi in his words while you meant something totally different. It was just natural that na'vi would marry other na'vi, not a human. The differences between both cultures did not just speak loud, they actually shouted like a mad person. You knew you could never get accustomed to being a na'vi male's mate. Not even if that male was Neteyam and just thinking about leaving him behind, thinking that you felt absolutely nothing for him, made you feel a burning, painful sensation in your heart. And of course Neteyam would be better off with an emotionally stable mate. Munì seemed perfect for him. 

You totally did not feel anger boiling inside your guts anytime you thought about her stupid smiles and giggles back when she was talking to him at the beach. She would make him happy and you were totally happy for them. The next step for you would be actually believing the words you just thought.

𓇼

One month and a few days had passed. You felt grateful that you had been able to dodge all the demands to go conduct scientific researches on the Metkayina tribe that you had received until now, asking to exchange positions with colleagues and staying in the lab, doing paperwork instead. You were doing everything in your power to avoid Neteyam. But you could never seem to be able to avoid the pain that washed over your body and the tears that wanted to come out - but never actually did because you were always strong enough to hold them back - whenever a sad love song started playing in your earbuds or in one of your friend's phones. It seemed like every fucking dumb love song reminded you of him.

After Kiri sent you a message almost begging you to go visit her, making you feel guilty and saying that she missed you a lot and now that she had her own marui, you just had to go to the reef and see it, you couldn't say "no". She was being too adorable and you missed her too. You asked Kiri if Kate and Adeline could come along and she excitedly agreed, so, the three of you used your next couple of days off to travel to the Metkayina beach again. It was a blessing that Neteyam had traveled to the Omatikaya tribe to see his grandmother Mo'at and was gonna be gone for a while, as Kiri had guaranteed you.

Kiri always had a very human side to her, just like Lo'ak. Neteyam didn't even seem like he was half human at times. He was extremely proud to be na'vi and wore his indigenous culture with honor all over himself. You could never see Neteyam asking to have his own place. He was too attached to his family - and you thought that was extremely cute. It wasn't traditional amongst the na'vi for an unmated young girl to leave her family's marui like that but Kiri was clever and she found a way to get what she wanted out of her parents.

𓇼

Adeline, Kate and you woke up as early as the Pandoran skies got clear and dragged your sleepy and tired asses to the Metkayina tribe. Being a scientist would never not leave a person overworked and exhausted. Like most mornings, you had drank way too much caffeine already for such an early hour in the day.

"Girl, how do you always look so beautiful? I could never." You pointed out as you watched Adeline make two thin braids to frame her round, delicate face and put her black curly hair in a voluminous bun on the top of her head, while the both of you were inside the science team's helicopter, heading to the Metkayina reef.

You had always found Adeline extremely pretty with her dark skin, voluptuous figure and feminine style. She always made sure to look cute.

"I don't know. I guess I'm God's favorite." She joked around and the both of you started to laugh

Adeline was also funny. She could put a smile in your face anytime, even when you were sad. You considered her a sister from another mother.

"You guys are stupid." Kate teased as she was laughing too and holding an energy drink filled with caffeine in her pale hand. She'd drink those often to help wake her up.

Kate's long, blonde, wavy hair fell gracefully over her chest. Her eyes were blue and she was tall and had an athletic but slim body. Damn, you only had breathtaking friends.

𓇼

Kate and Adeline had decided to take a nap after lunch in Kiri's marui and they asked if you would come too but you refused as you were far too restless to be able to sleep. That beach brought back too many memories…

So, now you found yourself sitting in the sand, watching the ocean waves break as they hit the shore with Kiri by your side. She had managed to make you say the truth about why you seemed so troubled.

"Yeah, (y/n), you fucked up big time." Kiri stated with that aura of wisdom beyond her years that only herself knew how to effortlessly exude.

You wanted to dig a hole in the sand under your feet and jump inside of it, hiding and never coming back up again. Of course you'd fuck it up with Neteyam. You had a cursed tendency to self sabotage. You did not know if being so freaking aware of it made you better or if it actually made you worse.

"Are you mad at me?" You ask nervously with furrowed eyebrows 

"(y/n)! It's not my feelings that you should be worried about! It's not my heart that you broke." Kiri scolded you as she looked at you with those big feline yellow eyes like she was actually horrified. You felt so bad for thinking it was kind of funny. "I know you don't wanna be Neteyam's mate but do you not care about him at all? Not even a little bit? He hasn't been the same ever since you dumped him and left. Poor thing can barely go train with dad. I think I saw him sniffing while hiding one of these days. Eywa knows that prideful teylu" (edible Pandoran bug) "would never cry in front of us."

"I swear I didn't mean to be cruel. I just did not know… how to react. It was sudden, you know? It's like, I don't know… a cultural shock? Humans don't go around asking people they just met to marry them. Or… become their mates." It would never feel normal to say "mates" to you

Apparently you had acted just like Kat Stratford in 10 Things I Hate About You, when she would cold heartedly refuse Patrick Verona over and over again. You used to always watch that vintage movie with Tracy. It was one of her favorites. 

"Don't act like it was the first time you two had met. Neteyam stared at you all the time when you came to our tribe. I swear to Eywa I've never seen him nervous to talk to a girl before but you have a power over my brother… it's fucking crazy to watch actually. He's like a needy, dumb dog drooling over you when he looks at you. It's even freaky." Kiri couldn't hold it back so she burst into laughter, hiding her mouth with her big but delicate hand

You were nervous as fuck but you started to laugh too. It seemed like the nervousness and guilt and tense vibe of the situation only made it worse, making everything even more funny and absurd.

"You know the worst part of it all?" You looked at her like a child who just broke their mom's most precious vase

"Great Mother, don't tell me there's more." Kiri said, incredulous

"I think I like Neteyam." You confessed like you were a good catholic girl confessing her sins to a priest

"You like him?!" She almost screamed

"You don't need to declare it out loud for the whole reef to hear!" You got slightly mad

"You teylu!" She smirked as she moved her head from side to side in disapproval "Why the hell did you dump him then?"

"I don't know, Kiri. Don't judge me, okay?" You put both your hands over your face, hiding it and moving your head from side to side yourself this time. 

At least you knew your attitude had been controversial and confusing to say the least. They say the first steps to recovery are realizing and admitting you're insane.

𓇼

It was now eclipse. You were inside Kiri's home with her and your human friends. Kate and Adeline were finishing unpacking their bags.

"Guys, I'm going out for some fresh air, okay?" You said, trying to find an excuse to get out of that marui filled with girls - human and na'vi.

"You've been acting weird lately." Adeline pointed out "Spending too much time alone."

Kiri discreetly looked at you with a look of concern in her face, as she was the only one of the girls who knew the reason behind your strange demeanor.

"I just need some air. I'll be back soon." You spoke as you walked towards the door of the marui

"Don't go in the ocean! It could be dangerous!" Kate yelled. She was the "mom friend" of the group.

"I know!" You laughed "I'm not stupid. I'm a scientist too. But thanks for your concern."

You walked through the beach for a while, trying to take a certain tall, handsome blue alien out of your mind when you saw Spider walking in the area too. He waved at you and you waved back.

You weren't as close to Spider as you were to Kiri and Lo'ak but you did love his company.

You sat on the sand with him, looking at the ocean, just like you had done with Kiri earlier and you two started to catch up and eventually the talk got deeper, more philosophical.

"Don't you feel crazy, Spider? Living among beings of another species? Don't you feel… left out?" Your eyes looked at him with genuine doubt in them

"I do, sometimes." He sighs "Especially because of how Mrs Sully acts towards me, at times" the both of you laughed quickly "But this place is my home. I was born in Pandora, I know nowhere else that I could call home. And also, I grew up around Lo'ak, Kiri, Neteyam and Tuk. They're family to me, even if not related by blood. It doesn't really matter in the end, family are the ones who are there for you. Not your bloodline." 

"Oh my God, I totally agree!" You rapidly say in a slight loud tone, chuckling, like you wanted to emphasize how much you shared the same opinion with him

"So..." You pondered if you should tell him or not "Neteyam talked to me last-"

"Yeah, I know. Ao'nung told me." Spider interrupted

"Of course he did..." You rolled your eyes and sighed. So everybody knew already...

Spider chuckled softly.

"Anyways, Neteyam calls me tawtute. I think it's funny that he calls me "human", but in na'vi"

"Yeah, that's him being affectionate towards you. He likes you. A lot." Spider pointed out

You stoped smiling and your heart started feeling painful.

"He probably hates me now, actually. I totally blew it off. I was really insensitive towards him." Shame and regret covered your face, as you were crestfallen

"Have you ever thought about apologizing?"

"Yeah, of course I have. Many times. I just…" You hesitated "I guess I can't face him now."

"Oh, c'mon. I know you can do it. Isn't it worse to be feeling guilty and sad and let Neteyam think you don't feel sorry for hurting him?"

"You have a point, Spider. God, I hate it when you're right." You laughed and slapped his arm softly, in a playful manner

𓇼

Adeline and Kate slept peacefully next to you, each one of them in a different mat - but the three mats had been placed next to the other. You, on the other hand, hadn't been able to sleep well in almost two months. Kiri told you and the girls she was gonna stay up and she now was, at the corner of the marui, making herself a new beaded necklace in the light of a tiny fire she had lit up.

As you laid quietly in your mat with your eyes closed but wide awake, you heard footsteps inside the marui. You could not believe it when you opened your eyes and you saw it was Neteyam. His tall, slender figure and head full of thin braids that danced in the air as he moved made you recognize him immediately, even in the dark of the eclipse.

Damn! Wasn't he supposed to be in the Omatikaya tribe right now? And what the hell was he even doing here instead of going to his parents' marui?

[socialist-microwave-laser]

whats ur challah recipie? for the cinnamon ginger delight concoction? ill trade a recipe if you want, i make a banger lentil pie

oh omg thank you! the recipe is actually my roommate @edens-jorts 's, i just added the cinnamon ginger stuff bc i was feeling adventurous and wanted my apartment to stop! fucking! smelling! like! apple! cider! vinegar!!! (the previous occupants apparently attracted a bunch of flies </3) the challah is (mostly) as follows (i fully eyeballed it today bc eden will be bringing the measuring cups but i've been making it enough that it's still very fluffy and tasty)

Challah:

1 cup warm water - 250 g

2 ¾ tsp yeast / la levadura - 15.5 g

½ cup white sugar - 175 g

½ cup vegetable oil - 175 g

1 tbsp honey - 17 g

2 ½ teaspoon salt - 14 g

2 eggs (room temp) (mine have Never been room temp oops)

4 cups bread flour / la harina de pan - 1 kg

Glaze:

1 egg

~1 tbsp water

Add yeast to water with a little bit of sugar (probably about a tsp) and stir

Add all other ingredients in a separate bowl and then add yeast to that mixture. (i don't do this i just throw everything in with the yeast lmao) Mix until incorporated

Knead dough until it makes a ball and is less sticky—if very sticky or too dry you can add flour/water as needed. Should probably knead for about 5-10 minutes

Cover & put into a warm place for about 1.5 hours. Add or subtract time depending on temp but 1.5 usually is fine

Take out & punch down dough & let sit for 5 mins

Divide into 8 and make 8 strands

Make two braided loaves

Sprinkle w/ water (not too much or else your strands kinda melt together into one beast, just enough to make you feel like you did something), cover, & let rise for 1.5 more hours. Preheat oven to 350ºF/176.7°C

Glaze loaves w/ egg & water mixtures (recommend SOAKING it in this. don't miss a spot)

Bake for about 40 mins, adjust for size. Goal internal temp 190ºF/87.8°C

then for the stuffing stuff i based it off of a recipe (here) for ginger cinnamon rolls i attempted once (and will attempt again now that the air isn't clouded with smoke) but honestly i just went off vibes. i probably could have added more vegetable oil bc it was rather difficult to spread into the strands but eh it did its job. here's the relevant bit:

1/4 cup brown sugar - 56 g

2 tsp cinnamon - 28 g (definitely feel like i used more)

1 tsp flour - 14 g (ngl i think i definitely used less than this. maybe like a third tsp)

1 tsp ginger - 14 g (again feel like i used more, also i used ginger paste)

then i added vegetable oil till it got to a good consistency (it was like moldable and rather damp, again i could have added more to make it more runny and easier to spread but i didn't wanna "water" it down so i just decided to fill each strand with More Stuff)

when you get to the strand step, divide the dough into however many pieces you want (i've been doing six strand braids recently so i divided mine into 12). roll one out to a good length, then use your fingers to kinda spread it out and flatten it. use the back of a spoon and your fingers to spread the Stuff into it, then kinda pinch the strand back shut. you could probably use water to make it stick shut better but i'm not on food network so i gave up after my second strand (plus it made the workplace much stickier and made it harder to braid later on so maybe i'm onto something here). then rinse and repeat! except don't rinse your hands between strands bc the Stuff kinda transfers over onto the next strand when you're rolling and flattenjng and yeah 10/10

anyway my Stuff was a consistency that there was actually surprisingly little mess. when i pulled it out of the oven some of the stuff had like run over and it was all gooey and sticky and genuinely i swear this shit could be candy

if you end up making this lmk send pics and tell me what you think!!! my neighbor told me this is literally the best bread she's had her entire life which made me very happy. i hope you enjoy!!!

low tide

dating wesley wizard

your first date was literally just a fishing trip

but you actually had a great time, wesley would tell you interesting facts about each fish he’d catch and what lure was best to use

you caught a big ass fish on your first throw and couldn’t stop bragging

he thought it was cute

(howell was horrifed when he found out and made him take you to this rlly fancy restaurant he had reservations for) “ON WHAT PLANET DOES FISHING QUALIFY AS A DATE???”

on the off chance you don’t go fishing with him, he’d send you pics of some of the fish he’d catch

‘took 4evr, but i finally caught him’

‘he kinda looks like u :)’

hc that he likes to bring home pretty shells he finds on the beach for you

you have a shelf dedicated to all the gifts he brings you

when ya’ll finally move in, he brings all his fish buddies with him

congrats! you now have your very own aquarium !!

love the man to bits, but i feel that bc he spends so much time in the ocean, he’s used to the smell and doesn’t realize a majority of his clothes stinks

which is bad news for you bc he likes to be held after a long day of fishing and you don’t wanna be near a smelly fish man

“Wes, I’ll hold you after you shower.”

“so you’re saying you don’t love me anymore?”

“WESLEY GO TAKE A SHOWER.”

when ya’ll first started dating, he was a little hesitant on officially introducing you to his sibs

he knows his family does it to protect him, but they can be a bit much at times

but after much convincing, you both arranged a small dinner to get to know them

you kinda already knew Crispin, considering he’s the only mechanic on the island

it started off with you getting back to back ‘interviews’ from each sibling but at the end they all came to the realization that you’re actually pretty cool

he thought that was goods news, but it backfired tremendously

prepare to never have any alone time 

bc you’ll always have a wizard sibling glomming onto you

you don’t mind, but wesley gets tired of it quick

“I wanted them to help me with this new recipe I found.”

“Yea right, they clearly want to check out this new computer game I found.”

“Dream on! They obviously want to sculpt with me, let’s get outta here (y/n)!”

*cue tug of war*

he’s not really into pda

instead of holding hands, he likes to link pinkies

when ya’ll are alone however..

you like when he kisses your cheeks bc his stubble tickles in a good way

before he heads off for the day, he waits for you to brush his bangs to the side and give him a smooch on his forehead

he refuses to leave without one

he’s actually really clingy behind closed doors

you absolutely love it, but it definitely has it moments

“this is really nice, but i need to use the bathroom.”

*grunt*

“I’m like three seconds away from pissing my pants pls let go.”

“I have a bucket you can use.”

“THAT”S SO GROSS WESLEY LET GO.”

after his clothes have been thoroughly washed, you like to steal his sweaters

“Are any of the clothes dry yet?”

“no.”

“is that my favorite shirt?”

“...no.”

you buying him those dorky dad hats that read somethin’ like “women want me, fish fear me” as a joke but they become a major part of his wardrobe 

sometimes when wesley gets tired of talking, he’ll slowly go from one worded responses to low grunts

when you pick up on this, you just hold his hand and sit with him in silence

he appreciates it and squeezes your hand to let you know

he’s really glad he met you, it makes him feel like you’re the only person who really gets him

ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh can I have nishinoya x reader who gets kinda insecure when she sees how pretty kiyoko is and nishinoya is like “what no your perfect :(“

nishinoya with an s/o who gets insecure around kiyoko

a/n: friendly reminder not to compare urself with others bcs ur perfect just the way u r!!

shimizu kiyoko, class 3-2, manager of the karasuno boys' volleyball team. she had become quite the idol among the 2nd years, whether she was aware of it or not. she had dark, silky hair, pretty eyes, an oddly sexy mole on her chin, and was dignified and elegant. she unknowingly set an example for what karasuno's girls should be like.

enter you, a 2nd year in class 5 who's sole redeeming trait was your academic intelligence. you weren't like her. your hair was dry. your eyes were empty. you were clumsy and insecure. you were never going to be someone like shimizu kiyoko, a natural beauty.

somehow, despite this, you had managed to snag yourself a boyfriend. a loving, energetic, cute, athletic, hardworking (at the things he actually likes), boyfriend. nishinoya yu, class 2-3, a sweet ball of energy and the sole libero for the karasuno boys' volleyball team. you'd been dating for around 4 months now, and honestly, aside from his lack of height and slight academic stupidity, (neither of those bothered you in the slightest) he was the most perfect boyfriend. told you he loved you everyday. bought you flowers. spent time with you. cared about you. checked in on you. said good morning everyday. basically, he was a walking green flag.

but despite him telling you that you're the most beautiful person in the world and he loves you every single day of the week without fail, you were still insecure in the relationship. you knew from stalking collecting background info on him pre-relationship that he was, like every other boy in the school, obsessed with shimizu kiyoko.

and to be honest, you didn't blame him at all. why wouldn't he be? she was the most beautiful girl you'd ever laid eyes on.

however, now, he no longer told kiyoko that she was beautiful, nor did he tell her that he wanted to "be with her forever." he now just treated her like any other girl.

so, you knew that he loved you. you knew that he was doing everything he could to make sure you knew that. you felt guilty, to say the least. you just felt so.. bad. you felt bad that he was doing so much for you and all you could do was think about a pretty older girl. you felt bad that he gave you so much love and affection and told you how beautiful you were all the time just for you to look in the mirror and compare yourself to his previous crush. to be honest, you knew that you wouldn't be so conscious and aware of kiyoko if noya didn't use to like her. you felt like such a pick-me and a total selfish brat who didn't appreciate others' efforts. still, no amount of words or feelings could stop you from staring in both admiration and envy at shimizu kiyoko whenever she walked by.

one night, you and noya were hanging out. he was studying at your insistence, and you were chilling on your phone beside him.

at some point, you were on insta and saw an aesthetic post of a picnic that she went on with her underclassman co-manager. it showed the beautiful set-up and a few pics of her posing modestly yet prettily. she wasn't trying to make a super hot model face/pose, just sitting there smiling. yet somehow, she just looked so elegant and pretty, and you couldn't help but start to tear up.

you felt so stupid. why were you crying? well, you knew why. because you were comparing yourself to her, and the fact that she was so far away just left you feeling so sad and incompetent.

you tried to hide your tears, but unfortunately, noya noticed almost immediately. he dropped everything he was doing and immediately cupped your face and wiped your tears.

"hey.. what's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"it's nothing.. sorry." you mumbled, averting your eyes.

"hey."

you looked at him.

he held you firmly. "nothing that ever makes you feel sad will ever be 'nothing' to me, and it shouldn't be to you, either." he said firmly.

he stroked your face lovingly. "now.. mind telling me why there are tears littering my girl's pretty face?"

for whatever reason, that just made you cry more. something about the way he loved you and made you feel special made you feel wonderful, but also guilty. what you were crying about was so insignificant, yet he was taking it so seriously. still, you mumbled and blubbered about how you were comparing yourself to kiyoko and how you felt so guilty about how much he loved you when you could never be as good to him as he was to you. you went on and on and on on a sort of rant as he just listened patiently, not saying a word.

when you were done, he embraced you gently and held you to his chest. as he stroked your back, he whispered gently into your ear, "you are the most beautiful girl in the world. and while i won't deny that i used to be obsessed with kiyoko-san, im no longer because i have a gorgeous girlfriend now in my life that i wouldn't trade for the world. and i know that me saying so makes you feel guilty, but let me just say this: you are so good to me. us two express love in different ways, and i happen to be more upfront about it. you express love to me by bringing me food when i forget mine, or helping me study when i put it off. sure, they're different, but that doesn't mean that you aren't so good to me. and honestly, even if you didn't do any of those things and more, just having you by my side would be more than enough."

his words made you cry harder, and you both squeezed each other tightly. you knew that this issue would persist for a while, but that was ok. yes, kiyoko will always be drop-dead gorgeous. yes, noya will always make you feel like the most special girl in the world. yes, you may continue to feel incompetent for a while. however, there is nothing (and i mean nothing) that he won't help you go through. after all, he loves you, and you are far less incompetent than you think you are.

#the ending is lowkey kinda bad #ive had this sitting in my inbox for forever but i finally got around to it #sorry for how late this was #see you suun ⭐︎ #nishinoya x reader #nishinoya fluff #nishinoya drabble #nishinoya imagine #nishinoya comfort #nishinoya x you

I’ve played four new board games and I’m here to tell you about em!

I’ll be talking about them in the order we played them. I recommend them all, and we had about 3 people for all four.

Kanagawa is a more peaceful risk/reward game where you build your studio and paint a beautiful print depicting different scenery and seasons. Starting with the first player cards are flipped over to make columns equal to player number, some face up some face down. You may pass or take a column. The longer you wait the more cards you can get (max of 3), but the more you chance someone taking what you need. I really appreciated the set scoring system here as well, “Diplomas” can be scored but you only get one of each type so you’re weighing if its better to score now or try to beat your opponent by getting one more tree in before they do. The cards having studio/print sides also made it so you rarely feel stuck with a bad card. The art is great and the brush tokens very well made. The only word of caution I have is the game’s rule booklet explains the game’s flavor well but not the mechanics, it took a little to get what should be an easy game to teach.

You’re right, Flamecraft’s pic takes up a lot of space on this post. That’s bc it takes up a lot of table space! I ordered this game off kickstarter bc of the art and I’m entirely delighted there’s a game backing that cute art. In Flamecraft you each are tasked with enriching the town with dragons and enchantments, visiting various shops and collecting enchant ingredients and placing dragons or enchanting shops and “firing” all the dragons there (not laying off, just making em happy). Flamecraft has fantastic presentation with the cutest art I’ve seen in any game. It also has delightful flavor to its mechanics and those mechanics have meaty depth. Essentially you’re trying to find the right route to produce resources to score points, and endgame Flamecraft has a lot going on where that won’t be immediately clear. In a good way. And the clutter ushers the game to its conclusion so it never feels like you’re lagging. Also incredible use of puns and one of the dragons is named Potato. Its a fantastic time.

Parks is a game I had seen before but was unsure about. A bit skeptical. But honestly its presentation and vintage travel poster aesthetic mixed with its leisurely hike mechanic gave me warm memories of cabin nights and nature filled days. In Parks a row of chevron shaped tiles with various bonuses goes from left to right. If you played Onitama the rules are similar. You each have two hikers, and choose what forward tile to move to. Gain those resources: trees, mountains, water, wildlife tokens acting as “wilds” (which are all uniquely shaped). You spend these on visiting parks like buying golems in Century Golem Edition. There’s camping gear you can buy as well for smaller bonuses, a bonus card unique to each player a la Wingspan, and canteens with special mechanics that work when filled with water (token). The art is gorgeous and if I were going out camping or spending time in a cabin this would be on the list of things to bring. I’ve never had a game make me want to go out and see US National Parks.

Last of the night: Twilight Inscription. Baby Twilight Imperium. I feel they made a lot of good choices that keep the feel of Twilight Imperium while condensing it into a 60-120hr game. In this game you have boards you mark with a dry erase marker. Each player has four boards: Navigation, Expansion, Warfare, and Industry. A card is flipped over showing die faces. Players pick a board to operate on this round and gain those die faces. Navigation lets you travel and settle, Expansion lets you better use plants from Navigation, Warfare lets you amass armies to launch on your neighbors, and Industry lets you amass goods. All of these are connected in their output. I appreciated how War worked more like 7 Wonders. You build units marking dots and lines in a starfield inventory management style, and you need more pips marked on the grid than the neighbor that field points at. There’s rounds of voting where having more delegates gives you more sway, and sometimes keeping votes is more important that spending. My only wish is that Trade was more interactive, I really enjoyed the trade politics of Twilight Imperium and player interaction only happens with voting, warfare, and goal scoring. Points are gained thru excelling in the four boards and through four goal cards players play towards through the game. After four war phases the game ends and points are tallied. Bc this is an inscription style game turns are taken simultaneously so adding 8 players doesn’t really make the game go longer, there’s just more people thinking. This game felt great to play, thrilling to balance the different strategies, and had excellent die unlock progression systems I thought worked very well. If you like Twilight Imperium check it out!

Four games, five rounds played, all good stuff! Kanagawa and Parks were the lighter fare, Parks I would put up as a monopoly buster. Kanagawa feels good in the mix, something to puzzle your brain differently. Flamecraft is lighter to medium weight, I could see newer players having decision paralysis but I do feel its hard to make a wrong move, value is value. Twilight Inscription is still weighty, even a small version of Twilight Imperium will take 1-2hrs to play, but it gives bits of the feeling of the game without the shuffle of hosting a 4-12hr game. I would run this with people who played Terraforming Mars and had a good grasp on that. Its a step up from there, and the board system looks intimidating until you realize you’re punching in die faces. That’s all. Four new games four GOOD games!

soooo I love making stupid decisions. I have a flight on Friday. I'm getting a keratin treatment rn, my ears are burning. I need my hair to be straight and easy to dry bcs ew summer. tomorrow, I'm getting lip fillers for the first time. I'll be at the airport with bruised puffy lips and I might get arrested for not looking like my passport pic. it happened before bcs I showed up at the airport after my nose job and the pic was from years ago.

I'm so not excited for the flight tho cause my country's got such shitty airlines. the airplanes don't have business class cause "it's a short flight" not bcs the damn thing is a piece of metal in the air.

(also baby, I'm glad you got an apology from the thief. even if it's a shitty one.)

- ☾

This is sooooo real the ohhhh the lengths we go to for beauty 🫶 good luck w the lip fillers I hope they don’t hurt too much!!! I’ve had 2 nose jobs (and I’m saving for a 3rd right now lol I think I will hate myself forever) and can confirm the difference between passport pics never gets less weird lollll

Have a safe flight my angel I hope it’s not too bad even if it’s a shitty airline 👼 how long is the flight?? I always just sleep the whole time on flights so I hardly even experience them. which can be a good thing in hindsight but I can’t imagine being someone who can’t fall asleep on flights and having to be awake for a whole shitty flight oh my godddd I couldn’t

Safe travels angel let me know when you land safely !! 💝💕💘🫶

asdklasjdlsks maximum late trip update post bc i completely forgot about it in my drafts. 💀 i was too occupied with grinding mapes events for cosmetic items aha.

better late than never i guess??

anyway, here's my long-awaited post about my short 5D4N trip in taiwan with luwi and shoron!! i decided to condense all five days into one post this time bc i didn't take a lot of good pics. :/

DAY 1: TAIPEI

nanjichang night market (南機場夜市) - highly recommended!!!

sumikko gurashi themed 7-ELEVEN (角落小夥伴主題商店)

first thing we did when we landed was to run to a 7-ELEVEN to grab a small bite. i got a strawberry cream sandwich with a mixed fruit/vegetable juice and the sandwich was so tasty... nothing special but so homely. we also picked up an easycard so that we could ride the mrt and omg the designs were all so cute?? why can't we have cute transport passes in sg too!!

after checking into our hostel, we went to nanjichang night market for dinner. i was told that this was the night market that locals would go to, and to avoid shilin night market bc it was more of a tourist attraction/trap?? no regrets tho. the food was great and so affordable. i got deep fried squid (coated with some kind of peppery and salty seasoning powder and spoilers: pretty sure all the fried stuff i ate in taiwan had the same seasoning LOL), shrimp dumplings, and a fermented vegetable baked pepper bun. waaa,, even though i ordered a shrimp dumpling, there was meat in it!! and i cannot handle the taste of meat in taiwan. it's too strong...

i also got an osmanthus tea from one of the bbt stalls there and it was the best bbt i had in taiwan?? unfortunately i didn't catch the name of the stall but there was a catto sitting on the counter!!

ended our day with a trip to the sumikko gurashi 7-ELEVEN. the decor was so cute!! i was hoping there'd be some exclusive merch being sold but there weren't any. idk why but i was determined to find some merch and i kept going into every 7-ELEVEN that was in my sights LMAO spoilers i didn't find any exclusive merch in the end. disappoint :-(

thoughts about the accommodation:

we stayed at the beimen wow poshtel for most of the days. it was reasonably close to the taipei main station and super affordable (~$20 per night) but idk it was giving me major School Camp flashbacks. we got the top bunks so every time we forgot something on the bed, we had to climb up the ladder to get it. it was inconvenient and i found out that i'm terrible at going down ladders bc i just jump off from the highest rung of the ladder and i gave myself quite a few bruises from that.

the rooms were also very tiny. we couldn't all have our luggages open at the same time so we'd go down to the communal area in the basement every day just to move things around. i wouldn't say that this was a massive con bc we got used to this arrangement rly fast. the real bAD THING is that we can't leave our things lying around in the room without locking them up in the lockers (also very smol). i have to clean and dry all my toiletries every day before i go to bed and before i leave. one time i accidentally left my clean clothes bag out and i woke up to find a single dirty sock inside. >:/

but other than that it felt pretty safe?? and i did enjoy our nightly hangouts at the communal area for supper or to plan our next-day activities.

would like to try out a capsule hotel next time tho. like one of those space pod thingies.

.

.

.

DAY 2: SHIFEN AND JIUFEN

shifen old streets

shifen waterfall

jiufen old streets

zhang ji traditional fishballs

a gan yi taro ball - it's nice but nothing special?? if the queue is too long then don't bother with it

jioufen teahouse - the queue for the famous a-mei teahouse was insane so we decided to try another teahouse

we spent the second day at shifen and jiufen!! took a train to shifen in the morning. walked along the streets and got some street food for lunch. i got brown sugar mochi paw-shaped pancake pops from a stall and i personally wouldn't recommend that flavour bc it was so dry. we also ate some taiwanese-style takoyaki. i watched luwi and shoron make their sky lantern (i couldn't do it bc it's ghost month and my mum said no :/) and release it into the sky. luwi added some good wishes for chi. stay 白 uwu

after walking around for a bit, we ran out of things to do and still had plenty of time to spare so we decided to rent electric scooters to see the shifen waterfall. i was shooketh that they didn't require any license?? and the shop didn't provide any helmets or safety gear?? so sus... i didn't dare to ride one of my own so i pillion'ed behind luwi.

the waterfall was a distance away from the parking lot and so the rest of our journey had to be on foot. i was sweating so much and thought i was gonna hallucinate from the heat and strong sun rays. somehow we made it to the viewing deck. i was expecting to be a lot closer to the waterfall but eh the view was pretty nonetheless. got chi and cha out so they could take in the sights too!!

we went through another round of suffering to get back to the parking lot and i, after seeing shoron ride the scooter so breezily on the way there from the old streets, decided to try riding one for the funsies. despite having barely any bicycle experience. as you would expect, that was Not A Good Idea bc i didn't even move 3 metres when i lost control, panicked, revved the accelerator thinking it was the brake (both were on the handles so idk i'm not a driver), went up the curb and fell over. ok but i fell off on purpose bc i thought the scooter was moving on its own (and not bc i mixed up the brake and accelerator) and my only way of survival was to just get off the bike before i crash into something or something crashed into me. surprisingly the only injuries i sustained were some bruises on my upper thigh that i landed on, and pinpoint scratches on my hand that i got from breaking my fall. i was very lucky that nothing was broken or bleeding. well, that was An Experience...... that i wouldn't want to go through again. anyway i'm banned from driving after this~~~

↓ btw this photo was taken moments before the disaster. apparently a lot of foreigners who rented scooters there also crashed their bikes. now that i look at it, our scooter had a chunk of it broken off at the front. ummm,,, what is safety

our next stop was jiufen!! jiufen was sooo scenic and beautiful with all the lanterns and slopes but climbing up and down all those narrow and steep stairs just to get to the main street was just deaTH. 💀 i have no idea how the elderly can do it.

had an early dinner at the zhang ji traditional fishballs. got a mixed fishballs noodle soup and it was so tasty!! i actually like the handmade fishballs with meat inside. they were sweet.

when it got dark, we visited one of the teahouses there to have a tea experience. the staff taught us how to brew the tea and we did the rest ourselves after that. it was fun!! we also ordered an oolong tea cheesecake to share and it was definitely more cheesecake than oolong but i'm not complaining.

we stayed at the jiufen kite museum for a night and i was so glad to finally have a room to ourselves. it was a good thing we didn't bring our luggages with us bc there were no elevators there!! it was all just stairs.

.

.

.

DAY 3: JIUFEN AND BACK TO TAIPEI

jioufen breakfast restaurant

D+AF女鞋 南西旗艦店 - super nice and trendy shoes!!

kura sushi

ximending

the nighttime view in jiufen was amazing with all the lanterns lit up but bc it was so crowded and you absolutely could not get a shot without someone blocking the view, we decided to come back the next day at 6 am just to take pics. and also to eat a traditional taiwanese breakfast!! i love the soy milk and youtiao combination. 💕

when we were back at the taipei main station, i chanced upon this bakery (semeur 聖娜) that was holding a kanahei's small animals collab?? if you spend a certain amount, you can buy merch at a cheaper price. so ofc i picked out four breads just so i could get a cute cooler bag with usagi and piske on it~ kinda regretted not getting the handheld fan too. it would've been so useful bc it was sO HOT. btw i ended up bringing one bread back to singapore (take note of this info for later) bc i couldn't finish all of them LMAO. the breads were all tasty but i particularly liked the melon bun.

day 3 was our Buy The Things We Have To Buy day. luwi went to check out a motorcycle gear shop by herself while shoron and i explored the zhongshan area. i got the $370 wall clock that my colleague rly wanted from a department store there. we also went to this shoe shop that shoron wanted to check out and like,, i wasn't planning on buying any shoes but man,,, they were all so nice. you can call them clown shoes for all you like but i just rly like the wide, squarish toe box designs. i only bought a pair in the end but aaa i would've liked to get more if i didn't have space/weight concerns.

bought osmanthus oolong tea from yi pin tea (一品茶苑) and it was mid. very strong tea flavour tho.

we had kura sushi for lunch and it was amazing. the gacha system was fun and the food was great and i got to eat my beloved taiyaki for dessert. it was cheaper than any sushi place in sg too.

my stomach was acting up when we went to ximending in the evening so i didn't get anything to eat or drink there but i did try a bit of the vermicelli noodles from ay-chung flour-rice noodle and it was pretty good. peppery and kinda tastes like shark fin soup. aside from food, we didn't rly check out any of the shops there. i did go to a stationary store on my own and it was a feast for the eyes!!

.

.

.

DAY 4:

wei chuan pushin ranch - there were capybaras and alpacas!! first time seeing them in person

mazesoba restaurant (東京油組總本店 台北華山組)

1789 café pâtisserie

zhongxiao dunhua shopping district (Air Space, Le Gusta, The Ladywore)

kanahei's small animals themed 7-ELEVEN (卡娜赫拉主題商店)

li yuan dumpling restaurant

braved the scorching heat for the alpacas and sheep and capybaras!! i touched an alpaca and a capybara for the first time and i can confirm that the former was floofy like a cloud while the latter felt like bristles of a broom.

the pig race and sheep race were being held when we were there so we got to watch. the ones that i bet on didn't win.

bc the ranch was located in a more rural part of taipei and buses were infrequent, we only had two?? hours to look around. so we rented some kind of a buggy. shoron was the designated driver for this bUT i felt like i could drive it too cuz it was kinda slow yknow.

for lunch we had mazesoba!! super good but could do with less salt.

afterwards we went on a hunt for a cafe to chill at bc it was raining so hard. had to give matcha one a miss bc we didn't have a reservation and there were no tables for us (except the VIP rooms which were $$$). eventually we found this cafe called 1789 café pâtisserie that was relatively empty and hid there until the rain subsided. we shared two eclairs (salted caramel and mango passionfruit) and a raspberry rose st. honore (crispy mille feuille pastry topped with whipped cream and raspberry jam??). they gave us two macarons on the house, and one of them was wasabi-flavoured. the taste was... interesting.

when the rain stopped, we went to shop for clothes around the zhongxiao dunhua shopping district. there were a lot of blogshop-like clothing stores in that area. i got clothes from le gusta and the ladywore~

our last dinner was at a xiaolongbao restaurant. i was glad that they had prawn xiaolongbaos!! that didn't have surprise meat in them. they were not bad. also got a custard panda bun for dessert~

.

.

.

DAY 5:

luwi and shoron went out to dabao breakfast at yong he soy milk (永和豆漿) in ximending while i continued to laze around in bed~~~ they brought soy milk and youtiao back for me!! i miss the combination. the youtiao from yong he was so light and airy on the inside and so crisp on the outside aaaa the doughy and oily ones in sg can't compare.

after breakfast we packed up and left for the airport. i wanted to try the oden at 7-ELEVEN before i leave but we couldn't find one at the departure hall. maximum sadge. in the end, we settled for a fast-food chicken place after we checked in and i got a yoghurt green tea (which tasted like yakult btw) and sweet potato fries.

i wanted to be productive on the flight back home (and i wasn't rly that sleepy anyway) so i played 999 on my 3ds and watched a 2-hour movie. finally watched maquia and it made me cry lmao. tearjerkers are the best kinds of movies for a flight imo!!

oh oh i sat next to an elderly couple on the plane and they were so nice and friendly. the lady kept checking to see if i needed to use the toilet bc i got the window seat. 🥺 we also chatted a bit while waiting to get off the plane.

we were planning to have dinner at mos burg after we landed in sg but there was a luggage delay and by the time we all got our luggages, it was almost time for mos burg to close. aha but fortunately i still had one bread left. so that was my dinner, along with the milo and oreos that the staffs were handing out to apologise for the delay.

this is smut so beware it has sex. 18+ (MDI)

AN: this is my first smut so i’m sorry if it’s not that good but i love eddie so this is my take. thank uu <33

you had been head over heals in love with eddie since middle school. watching him play guitar with his buzzcut just, drew you in. now you’re in highschool, you’re a senior. same as eddie “the freak” munson.

you dreamed about being with him, what yalls dates would look like, how he would kiss you. but he didn’t know how you felt. what made it worse was he was falling for someone too. chrissy cunningham, the beautiful, pretty cheerleader.

she was with jason, the head of the basketball team. you knew she wouldn’t get with eddie, but you could, at least you could try. but that all changed when you went to eddie’s house to give him a hand-man guitar pic you painted “CORRODED COFFIN” his bands name. it was a surprise for him but u got surprised too.

you knocked on his door 3 times and he didn’t answer, but you heard something. you looked through the window to see chrissy the fucking cheerleader smoking with eddie. she was on his lap laughing, her head tilting back as he looked at her. the look you’ve craved for him to look at you. but it was chrissy who got his look.

you couldn’t look away but wanted to do bad. your eyes beginning to tear up. you just put your hand on the window, face covered in tears and cold as the breeze of winter hit you.

“huh” eddie says as he takes a hit of his joint. “w-what eddie?” chrissy says. “i think someone’s here.” he says as he pushes chrissy off his lap. when he gets up, he sees your face in his window. he sees how much you were crying, he goes to open the door. “Y/N!” he yells your name but you’re crying so hard and running home.

you and eddie lived close in the trailer park. it began to rain. when u got home, you just went to your room and cried so hard. “why couldn’t he just pick me” you said repeatedly.

you woke up the morning after you saw chrissy on eddie. eventually lunch came and it felt like i’d been forever. you go to sit in your spot by eddie at the lunch table. mike and dustin are happy to see you, per usual, since you were the only girl in Hellfire. you talk to the freshman until you see eddie, and your face that is usually with a smile was down on the table. flashbacks from last night filled your brain. you feel someone touch your arm, it was eddie, your unrequited love. “hey y/n” he says as he wants to say something more. “hey eds” you say very dry, sounding like you were about to cry.

halfway through lunch you got up and left. you were just gonna go home and skip, then eddie grabs your hand. “hey, what happened last night?” he asks you, you start to tear up again but try to hold it together. “just- um- i like this guy and i found out he liked someone else so i was crying..” you say, not confident at all. you were an okay liar but not this time.

“oh- i didn’t know you liked a guy down here,” he laughs bc you’ve never had a boyfriend or went out on a date, and you’re 18 so it was just funny to him. “yeah”you sigh out. “soo” he says pressing your upper arm like a little kid. “tell me who this douche is, a guy who doesn’t want you but someone else- dumbass.” he laughs. eddie has always protected you and maybe that’s why you fell in love with him. “he’s..no one.” you say with tears coming out of your eyes.

“hey hey, don’t cry y/n, just tell me who he is i’ll teach him a lesson.” eddie says, visibly upset because a random guy has you crying like this. “eddie stop.” you say, crossing your arms. “cmon tell me, no one gets to hurt you and get away with it.” he says bending down to your face to wipe your tears. “it’s..” you say trying to calm yourself. “eds, if you wanna find the guy, just go look in the mirror.” you say as your brother pulls up, steve harrington. “YO” steve yells at you, you look back at him then at eddie. “y/n..” eddie says as he’s going to say something like ‘i don’t like you like that’ but you leave before he can finish. you didn’t want to hear how he didn’t love you back.

steve was your brother, about a year older than you, but he was your best friend. he knew your feelings towards eddie since you told him when you were 11 years old. he knew what happened and why you were crying. “y/n listen, it’s okay maybe talk to him about it.” he says trying to calm you down. you stay quiet until you get home.

when you get to your house, which your dad bought you, a small trailer. you saw eddie’s van, and sucked your cheeks in, biting them too. “love you sis” steve says while driving away back to the house him and your dad lived in.

“eddie, what are you doing here.” you say with your head looking at the grass trying to walk to your front door. he grabs your hand, “i don’t understand” he says. “understand what?” you say confused. “you said look in a mirror and i don’t know what that means.” eddie explains. “GOD” you scream out, “ITS YOU! YOU EDDIE, I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I TRIED SO HARD TO MAKE YOU SEE ME BUT U CHOSE HER!” you scream, tears streaming down your face. you hit eddie’s chest lightly. “why couldn’t you have seen, why didn’t you pick me. eddie.” you say crying before going inside your trailer. “what are you talking about? y/n i’m not dating anyone.” he tries to explain, confusing by who “her” was. “i saw you and chrissy, that’s why i’ve been crying. you chose little cheerleader chrissy over me.” you say, your voice trembling. “oh angel, she was just buying weed and she spilled shit on me so she tried to clean it off.” he says, grabbing your face. “eddie, just stop. i saw the way you looked at her.” you say, crying in your hands.

“you think i like her, you think i’d choose her.” he says making you look at him. “you already did.” you mutter. “y/n, chrissy is pregnant and is with jason the douche. i’ve loved you for so long but i knew you didn’t feel the same.” eddie says, bringing his hands from your face to your knees. “oh- well congrats to her.” you say awkwardly. “but eddie, you- you love me?” you ask. “do i love you, i’ve always loved you. you are my angel. i never thought you’d love me back y/n, i never would choose her over you.” he says, making you feel like this is a dream.

“i love you eddie, i want you.” you say cupping his face. you bring him into a very heated kiss, a kiss that has been wanted for years. his tongue pressed against your lips, asking for entrance into your mouth. you can tell what he wants and you open your lips for him. you two fight each other with your tongues, he wins and explores every inch of your mouth.

you break the kiss, in need of oxygen. eddie just goes to attack your neck, making you let out a small moan. you two were now on the couch, your hands in eddie’s frizzy hair. his lips on your neck his hands on your wait and the back of your neck. eddie could feel himself start getting hard, he moved the hand that was on your waist to your clothed boob. he squeezes it slowly and massaging it. making you let out a louder moan than before, putting your head back. eddie loved see this, the girl of his dreams under him moaning and whining at his touch.

“does this make u feel good, princess?” eddie asks seductively, putting his hand up your shirt and under your bra, feeling your bare boob. “m-mhm” you stutter, it was just him touching your boob but it was HIM touching YOU. he unbuttons your shirt and bra, and dives face first for your boobs. “cmere” he says as he picks you up and takes you to your bedroom. slamming you on the bed, legs still wrapped around his waist. he takes off his shirt but putting his arms behind him and pulling the shirt off. reveling his back muscles first then his abs. he was so pretty and the way he took off his shirt made your pussy wet.

“oh baby, i’m gonna fuck you so hard that you forget about chrissy and only know my name.” eddie whispers into your ear, nibbling on it a little. “please eddie, fuck me till i can’t walk.” you say, kissing his jawline. you can feel how hard he is when his boner is pushed against your leg. “god you get me so worked up.” he says, as like you’ve gotten him ‘worked up’ before. “i’ve been dreaming of this since i was 12 years old.” he says as he unbuckles his jeans, leaving him in his boxers and you in your skirt and underwear.

eddie pulls your skirt off and begins to rub your throbbing clit against your underwear. “god your already so wet for me, such a slut for your best friend huh,” eddie says making your body tingle when he calls you a whore. he pushes your underwear to the side and rubs your exposed clit, which makes you let out a moan. his dick throbbing from the noises that he made you make. he slowly puts his middle finger inside you and curling it up, making your back arch. he decides to add another finger making you moan out and your hips buckle.

“baby my dick is throbbing for you so bad.” he says in your ear. “how about we fix that” you say touching his chest…

AN: okay so this was fun so tell me if you want a part 2 bc i will make one <33 ty so much for reading

1, 7, 8, 9 for the artist asks!

Weirdly Specific Artists Asks

1) Art programs you have but don't use

Clip Studio, bc the license has expired. It came with my tablet and I guess the license has an expiration date because I didn't use it for a while. My regular-use laptop doesn’t have enough space to run it, and when I tried to run it on my other lappy which does have the space, found out some of the features were missing and I couldn't save anything, which is a weird thing to have locked, esp on an art program, so I said f it, and didn't use it again.

Other programs of note as I scroll through my external harddrive:

-Corel Painter (also a freebie when I got with another tablet from years ago, but stopped using it. It was from an era where download discs were still a thing, and of course I've lost the disc, so it's useless to me)

-Gimp

-Autodesk Pixlr (used to be a browser program until it became unusable bc of ads. Didn't work as well on desktop either as it was mainly for editing pictures rather than as an art program, as it were)

-Manga Studio (which still amuses me with it's file name. Just a little too complex for me to use)

-MyPaint (endless canvas for drawing, good for doodles)

7) A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Oil painting. Lots of chemicals to work with and it takes forever to dry, but I do appreciate the looks it can give, how soft the blending can be, how naturalistic it can look, but it's a lil intimidating for me

8) What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

I have thought about doing let's draw videos before, and have footage of me drawing Hakuouki's Saito back in 2016, but since I'm not the talkative type and using music on youtube is kinda a crapshoot, it never saw the light of day. Plus, all I had at the time to record was my PSVita, so the footage isn't of a high quality, so there's that.

Maybe someday I'll edit it properly and throw it out to the winds, but not any time soon.

9) What are your file name conventions

First, files are sorted into monthly folders with the month number so they can be in numerical order, then month name and year. When the year is up, they go into one year folder and then thrown into old stuff.

Next, for actual naming conventions, I'll describe what's going on in the pic if I need to find it again at a later date. Sometimes this is pretty straight forward. like, [Character] [doing thing], with a date attached if I can remember to add it.

Then there are those that I do just to make myself laugh. Including but not limited to:

#meme thingys #ask me things #for those not in the know #the manga studio I have is the ex version #so seeing it's program file name msex never fails to make me giggle #still frickin weird to me that an art program #even at it most basic form #doesn't let you save your work #I'm still ???? about that #that's so dumb and mildly terrifying #not even a save state #the hells #as for file names #I rarely live on the edge like I've seen with other artists that use keymashing for file names #I *cannot* do that #babies argh is a reference to one of the 9eenage mutant ninja turtles movies #I think it was the second one #the secret of the ooze #the second one #where Shredder is messing with the ooze to make his own super soldiers #but he gets giant baby monsters instead #his scream of that has lived rent free in my head for *years* #thick italian sausages is a reference to me not being able to do fingers so they just look like thick sausages #maybe or may not also be a ref to Leonardo's other thick sausage #lol

How was the show? I'm hoping to live vicariously!

it was a lot of fun, but also kinda sad.

this became so long, my apologies omg

for your viewing pleasure, here's one of the pics i took last night:

so first off, my mom had to be in a wheelchair which is no problem for me. we got there really early and had time to get a decent parking spot. got her up to our seats and they were NOICE. they were on the club level which i didn't know what that meant at the time until we got there. all i know is that i wanted seats where a handicapped person could be in and that's what i got (bc i got presale for the jonas brothers so i was able to get tickets before the public).

the show starts, the opener was a band called lawarence. they were really good. i didn't know who they were but they were a lot of fun and the main girl singer was fantastic. also... darren criss was there too????? he was the special guest with the opener and it was very confusing but a lot of fun and they sung a cover of it's gonna be me. and as a starkid and glee fan, it was so fun to see him omg.

then we had to wait like 20 mins for the jonas brothers to come out. ppl were filing in, the place was packed. this lovely person in my section gave me and mom friendship bracelets, it was adorable.

the lights dim, the show begins. and for almost three hours straight i screamed. i am very surprised i have my entire voice still. must be from all the years of being a jonas brothers fans mixed with listening to emo music lol i guess i just know how to scream without fucking up my vocal chords.

they sung songs that i never even got to see live which was awesome. i got to hear some of my favorites, and some i got to rehear some from when i saw them years ago back in 2009. they are basically doing their own version of an eras tour. and i genuinely mean this, they sung every song (minus a very small few) from five albums. insane.

so to get to the sad part.

if you don't know all the drama that is occurring with joe jonas and his soon to be ex wife sophie turner, i do a bit of break down in this previous ask. the thing is, joe has a song dedicated to his wife from the previous album that they sing every night. at this point i WISH they would just cut the song from the setlist and do literally anything else. bc joe looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there last night. and i dont blame him. he still had some energy, but it was the kinda of energy that screamed yeah, i love my job *rolls eyes* you know? a little melancholic but also dry.

that's not to make him sound like an asshole, he just seemed tired. and i get it and don't fault him for it. bc the vocals were still very much there. and philly brought the fucking LOVE last night. it was so loud at times i thought i was gonna pop an eardrum.

also the thing that made it sad is that, i love the jonas brothers and have always said that they KNOW how to write a damn good love song. i know for sure one of their songs will be my wedding song. but they also know how to punch you in the stomach with a break up song. so some of their old music, being sung now, was kinda ironic in the worse way last night. and i just felt really bad for joe.

other than that, i had fun. everyone at the arena was super nice to me and my mom which hasn't always been the case with her in a wheelchair so 10/10 for that. traffic was a literal fucking nightmare, but i expect nothing less from philly. and we got to drive past my grandparents' old house in south philly for a moment on the way home, so that was kinda sweet.

i would say my favorite songs from the night were walls, take a breath, and strangers. cake by the ocean was also fun bc of all the confetti. all of them looked super hot which is not surprising. even tho i am a nick girl at heart, i was a joe girl for the night bc i just felt for him the whole time. i would give it a solid 7.5/10 for the experience overall. but like a 8.5/10 for the concert alone.
