Hi, can you do demon slayer girls when reader is just working out and demon slayer girls just stare at their boobs. And when reader finds out they straight lie, they say something like 'I was just making sure you wouldn't fall, I wasn't staring there' or they would just be honest and out and out say something like'Sorry but your boobs look really nice'

Also I love your writing <3

What Are You Looking At?

Pairing: Fem Demon Slayer characters – Nezuko-chan, Mitsuri, Shinobu, Tamayo, Daki x f! Reader

Category: Fluff, slightly suggestive

Warning: Nudity because of the b a d o n k s, small and tiny bits of manga spoilers (and swordsmith village arc if you’re stupid enough to have not finished watching that already)

Summary: When they got caught staring at your boobs while you work out

A/N: *inhales* WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT NOT LOOKING AT PEOPLE’S BADONKERS

Anyways thank youuu <33

Nezuko-chan

Ever since Nezuko conquered the sun, she was required to stay at the Butterfly Mansion for the safety of herself and basically the whole of humanity. On one hand, she got a bit upset since she couldn’t accompany her brother during Hashira training. But on the other hand, she was glad that she could stay with you. You were almost constantly training ever since then due to the prediction of having a huge battle with Muzan soon. On this particular day, you were doing physical training in the garden while Nezuko accompanied you. You often wrapped bandages around your AHEM *coughs* badonkers while you train. But maybe you didn’t tie them well today, because while you were doing weightlifting exercises with boulders, a bit of the bandages started to come off, exposing slightly more of your AHHHHEM *cough cough* (sorry I caught covid haha) badonkers. That didn’t go unnoticed by Nezuko. She watches as your b-b-b-b-boobs heaves up and down as you try to control your breathing, and they managed to pique her curiosity. You and your sharp senses managed to catch her staring at you, causing you to turn around and look and her. Nezuko immediately turned her head away. You put down the boulders. “Nezuko what were you looking at? Were you staring at my chest?” You tilted your head slightly and chuckled. Nezuko knew that she shouldn’t lie but she was too flustered to be honest about it either. “Sorry I was just curious… Besides, they look really nice.” Her voice barely above a whisper. You laughed in response “Silly girl, I won’t get mad.” You walked over, placing a hand on her head and lightly patting it. “You’re really cute.”

Mitsuri

On the training grounds of the Kanroji mansion, you and Mitsuri were sparing with each other for training. The top buttons of both of your uniform shirts were unbuttoned to let some air in while you two exchanged attacks. You leaped into the air as you dodged the wide-ranged attacks of Mitsuri’s flexible sword. When you tried to rush in and land an attack yourself, you were blocked by her own. You consecutively blocked each other’s attacks at extreme speed. You noticed how your reflexes improved a lot since the last time you spared with Mitsuri and urged yourself to focus and do even better. But as you were concentrating so much, Mitsuri it was actually losing concentration. Her eyes travelled towards your chest, exposed by the semi-buttoned shirt. She started to get lost in her thoughts as she watched your boobs moved along with your attacks. Kyaaaaaah they look so nice! N-no! You have to focus! Though it wasn’t long before Mitsuri gave in to her fetish with your badooonks, and she failed to block your attack in time, causing her to fall over. “Woah! You ok? You seemed really distracted today. Plus, it seemed as if you were staring at something on me the whole time… Could it be…?” Uh oh busted… A shade of bright red immediately spreaded across her face. What should I do?? This is so embarrassing! But lying is bad too! “Kyaaaaaah I’m so sorry I was staring at your chest! It's so embarrassing but your chest looks so nice!” Mitsuri admitted with hands covering her face, trying to hide the extreme blush on her face. “I didn’t expect you to full on admit it so whole-heartedly. But hey, it’s all good” You spoke as you kneeled down next to your flustered Mitsuri. “Afterall, I stare at yours quite often too.”

Shinobu

You had been bedridden for quite a few weeks after getting injured from a mission involving one of the Twelve Kizukis. And now that you were back on your feet, you had to begin you rehabilitation training. On the training grounds of Butterfly Mansion, you began practising your swordsmanship skills on the training dummies, slashing them with your wooden sword while using Total Concentration Breathing, until the dummies broke from the impact. Despite being bedridden for so long, you had improved your skills and had become much stronger than before, Shinobu could tell that. From her spot on the engawa of the Butterfly Mansion, she observed you training. She had always admired you, you were always training with extreme concentration, striving to become stronger so that you could save more people. Not to mention, you were also really pretty. Shinobu watched as you continuously slashed the training dummies, until she caught sight of your chest. They way they move along with your arm movements mesmerise her. “Oh! Kocho-sama I didn’t realise that you were watching me! Am I doing alright?” Hearing her name getting called from you snapped her out of her thoughts. “You’re doing great, keep it up alright? I’m… just here to make sure you don’t hurt yourself again.” You smiled widely at her before returning to your training. Even though she said she was making sure you don’t get hurt, but you already knew the actual reason why she was here.

Tamayo

Tamayo sat at her desk, scribbling notes about her recent demon blood research. You, on the other side of room, were doing exercises. Every once in a while, she would pause her research and watch you work out with her cheek on her hand. You look so captivating when you work out that it sometimes distracts her from doing research. The way sweat beads trace down your forehead and cheeks. And the way you try to catch your breath. She doesn’t show it, but she secretly enjoys watching you work out a lot. You leaned against the wall to catch your breath while fanning yourself. Even with the windows open, you’re still struggling to cool down, so you reached up to your shirt and unbuttoned the first few buttons of your shirt, revealing a bit of your cleavage. Tamayo’s purple eyes widened at the sight of it. Getting lost at the sight of it rising up and down as you breathe. Your sharp senses noticed Tamayo’s gaze which led you to turn your head to face her. Her eyes widened and she immediately turned back to the research paper on her desk. “Sorry… they just look nice…” In a voice barely above a whisper, Tamayo admitted without facing you. You lightly chuckled in response. “That’s all good! But hey, that research is important. It’s for that one red haired boy, right? You should get the majority of it done first. Afterwards, you can stare at ‘them’ for however long you like.”

Bonus: Yushiro often comes up with plans to assassinate you (fails miserably everytime)

Daki

At the base of the Infinity Castle, you decided to spar with Gyutaro for fun. As you two exchanged Blood Demon Art attacks, Daki sat on the sidelines observing the playful battle between her brother and her beloved. You leaped from platform to platform to dodge Gyutaro’s attacks. But when you land on the floor, the hem of your yukata began to slip and expose your cleavage slightly. Daki noticed almost immediately and fixed her eyes on your badonks. You landed a final blow towards Gyutaro, causing him to fall backwards. “That was fun. Though it seems like your skills had been a bit off lately.” You spoke lightly with a hand on your hip. “Is that so? Then I think I need to do more training with you.” The black-and-green haired demon responded as he got up and went to grab something to drink. You turned to Daki and found her sitting at the very edge of the stairs, head forward and eyes focusing somewhere on you. You followed her gaze towards your yukata. Oh. “Daki, were you staring at my chest?” Your voice made her snap out of her daydream. “WHAT?! No I’m not! I was just... making sure you don’t get hurt! That’s all…” You lifted one of your eyebrows. “Sure… sure…” “AAAAAA YOU’RE SO ANNOYING! IF YOU GET HURT NEXT TIME, DON’T COME TO ME CRYING!” And with that, Daki stormed off. Heh, she’s such a simp.

Holy cow what the hell am I writing lol

and yes the photos are much more blurry this time

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

Out Representative-elect Robert Garcia (D-CA) may not have been able to get sworn in yesterday due to Republicans’ inability to elect a Speaker of the House, but he has plans for when he finally can be sworn in.

When he takes his oath of office, he’ll swear on a copy of the Constitution, and, beneath that, an original Superman #1 comic from 1939, a photo of his parents, and a copy of his citizenship certificate.

Garcia came to the U.S. from Peru with his family when he was five-years-old and has said that naturalization was “his proudest moment” and the reason he started a career in politics. His parents died in 2020 of COVID-19.

He was the youngest and first out LGBTQ+ person elected as mayor of Long Beach, California (a position he served in from 2014 to 2022). During his time as mayor, he worked with businesses to reduce their environmental impacts, filled vacancies on citizen commissions with diverse and female members, and worked to improve local infrastructure as well as financial opportunities for local artists and home-based business owners.

He’s also an avid comic book fan.

In November, he tweeted a photo of the Superman #1 comic along with Amazing Fantasy #15, in which Spider-Man first appeared, saying he didn’t know which one he would first check out from the Library of Congress.

While many members of Congress will be sworn in on Bibles, they are not legally required to do so. Former Rep. – and current Minnesota attorney general – Keith Ellison (D-MN), who was the first Muslim person elected to Congress in 2007, was sworn in on a copy of the Quran owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Theodore Roosevelt wasn’t sworn in with any object after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901. And in 2014 Suzi LeVine was sworn in as U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein on a Kindle with a copy of the Constitution open.

“I wanted to use a copy that is from the twenty-first century and that reflects my passion for technology and my hope for the future,” she said at the time.

New members of the House can’t be sworn in until a speaker is elected. Yesterday, after three votes, no candidate for Speaker was able to get a majority of votes because of a faction of Republicans voting against Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The Democrats’ candidate – Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) – got the most votes in each round of voting, and around 20 Republicans – including anti-LGBTQ+ Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Bob Good (R-VA), and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) – voted for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Jordan himself nominated and voted for McCarthy.

The House adjourned without a new Speaker elected.

Okokokok. So, dtqk[Dream, Sapnap, George, Quackity, & Karl] and there 'oh shit' moments when the reader does something to make them realize they have feelings for them and what their reactions/what they do about it is.

Idk If that made sense :/

Male representing reader if possible!

♈

Hallo ♈ anon! I actually find this idea very interesting hehe

Hoep you enjoy <3

DTQK realising that they fell for you

P.s: I'm officially changing "Crew Boys" in "DTQK" cause I like it better. I've been thinking of doing this for a while, but I didn't know if I wanted to :'D

Click Here before requesting, please ^^

Reader: GN - They/Them

Dream: When he meets you irl

He had waited years for the day where you two would get to meet irl. Covid really chose the wrong time to come, so you're meetup had been postponed for so long. And yet now here you are, in his arms and sobbing about how happy you are to see him. That's exactly when the ligh bulb lit in his head, his emotions making themself clearer to him

George: During a late night walk

It was now a common thing for you and George to go out during the late hours of the night. It was much quieter and less crowded, so you two could enjoy yourselves alone. And just as you were laughing at one of his stupid way of making a joke, he realized that maybe he did like you more then just a friend

Sapnap: While you were comforting him

He just wasn't feeling his best and hasn't been for a while. You were always the one who checked up on him, asked him if he needed anything and even would sometimes drop by his house to leave him a small present. He found himself waiting for your text, call or visit; he even found himself wanting more from you then just friendship

Quackity: During a stream

You had happened to be in town so he invited you to stream with him. Everything was gping amazing, bt he kept on catching himself gazing at you many times; he admired you and your natural passion in whatever you did. It was a real eye opener that night, when he thought back to what happened

Karl: During a video call

Karl and you had spent hours talking and catching up on things you did that week, it seemed to have become a common thing you did. You both talked about everything, even embarrassing stuff that you'd be too afraid to say to someone else. You trusted eachother more then anyone else. And as you fell asleep on call and Karl took in your peaceful face and slow breaths, he internally admitted his feelings for you

I followed you for kingdom hearts art back in the day and I am DELIGHTED to see you posting and reblogging l4d2 stuff >:D

HAHHA my fandom fixation is just permanently stuck in 2009 apparently.

I played one campaign whilst stuck at home during the covid lock downs because relevance, and i was like oh man, i forgot how much i love this game. Then i wandered into ao3 and sank one foot into @patiently-burning's writing and it swallowed me up like thick tar, so honestly i blame her for all of this

#ask

[foreverindreamlandd]

HeLLoOo! I see that your requests are open :D so I wanted to request a little something. What if the reader was on a zoom meet for work and Bucky was asking for their attention. like, just poking their arm and pouting and begging the reader to come and cuddle with him. thank you <33

Needy (hc)

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x GN!Reader

WC: 1.3k

Warnings: Mentions of covid/quarantine

A/N: Oh my gosh FINALLY I'm getting to this!!! You sent this request at the beginning of February like :,) bless you for your patience. I'm gonna do a lil headcanon for this one <3 (also this is unedited and most likely riddled with errors will fix another time)

Listen, it's not like he can help himself.

Bucky just needs the attention.

Any moment your eyes aren't on him, or your pretty smile isn't in his line of sight, or your skin isn't close enough for him to touch with the pads of his fingers drives him up a wall.

It only grew worse better during quarantine, when both of you were working from home and there was literally nothing that could take you away from him.

No more begging in the morning, giant arms keeping you pinned against him while you giggled into his chest, begging to be free before you were late to work.

Now you had those precious extra minutes, rolling out of bed at the last minute to throw on a clean (looking) shirt and pulling out your laptop, just to jump back into bed and into his arms for as long as possible.

No more late nights that cause you to come home exhausted and stressed to the point of tears.

Now, as soon as the clock hits 5pm, Bucky is there to close your laptop with one hand and hand you your favorite evening beverage with the other, giving you a big welcome home kiss even though he hasn't left your side all day.

Sometimes though, your bosses get selfish and decide to force you away from Bucky's hold for dumb work meetings where you're forced into a work shirt that is severely less comfortable than his henley, and he's not allowed to be close enough to you where your team can see him on your camera.

It's the worst he hates it so much.

For the most part, it only takes you away for a grueling hour and you're able to sit on the couch. He learned to pass the time by painting your nails or giving you leg/foot massages, or sometimes just sit on the ground, back against the couch and wrapping his arms around your legs, head resting on your knees.

He just needs to be near you. It's a pull he knows will never diminish over time.

The only thing that gets him through this torture is knowing that you love your job, and seeing your eyes light with excitement when something goes well or hearing your laugh as you joke with your coworkers makes his heart swell with joy that you've found such a fulfilling career.

And though a part of him hates these meetings that take you away from him, he loves that he gets to see you in action, kicking ass as you always do.

This past week, however, has been a nightmare for him.

Because there was a summit.

Meaning you were in one long nonstop zoom meeting from 9 to 5 Monday-Friday.

Worse than that, you had to sit at your desk instead of the couch so that you could take notes and share presentations with the team.

Worse than that, the angle of your laptop camera showed the door to the office, meaning that Bucky couldn't sneak in and out to sit near you or bring you snacks and coffee and water throughout the day.

The only time he got to see you was during your 30 minute lunch break, and you'd collapse on the couch and scarf down the food Bucky made for you.

Any spare time you had left before returning to your desk was spent laying on the couch, head resting on Bucky's thigh as he massaged your scalp, your eyes closed to find relief after staring at  a screen for hours.

It was the worst, miserable, and Bucky counted down the seconds until the end of the day Friday when he could have you back for himself.

He did everything he could to prepare. Made the bed, went to the grocery store to buy ingredients to cook your favorite meals - while also grabbing face masks and bath bombs for a DIY spa-day - and did the laundry to make sure that you wouldn't run out of fuzzy socks.

And then...finally...it was 5pm on Friday.

He was at the door as soon as you closed the laptop, running to your seat and scooping your body into his arms before you could even squeal in delight.

He kept you in his lap as he sank onto the couch, peppering your face with kisses and murmuring how much he missed you.

"I'll get a bath drawn for you in a second, baby," he said into your neck after another kiss. "Then I'll make dinner and we can watch a movie-"

A ringing sound came from your pocket, and Bucky froze.

You pulled out your phone to find a text from your boss and Bucky groaned, shaking his head after reading the message.

Hey Y/n! I know it’s after hours but can we do a quick informal debrief of the summit with just the core group? Should only take 15 minutes.

Bucky pouted as you untangled yourself out of his hold, whining as you walked back to the office to retrieve your laptop. Since it was informal, you figured it would be okay to return to the couch.

“Fifteen minutes, Buck, I swear,” you said, giving him a quick kiss and then sitting on the other side of the sofa where he wouldn’t be seen.

He narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms in front of you as you signed on.

Not that he could be mad at you for long. He made it five minutes before returning to the floor and hugging your calf.

You were still in the meeting 16 minutes later, and Bucky looked up at you. Your eyes flashed down and shook your head ever so slightly.

At twenty minutes, Bucky was getting annoyed. One of the chattier coworkers kept on adding more points and asking more questions even though he could tell everyone was ready to get the fuck off the call and relax for the weekend.

He started letting out these loud, dramatic sighs that were almost loud enough for the others to hear and you reached forward to squeeze his shoulder in a cut it out way. 

Bucky smirked, enjoying the attention he was getting. It made him bold, and his hand lowered to tickle your foot.

The entire lower part of your body jerked and Bucky suppressed a snort from your sensitivity. 

He did it again, and you must have muted yourself because you looked at him and said “Bucky, please stop.” 

Your voice wasn’t annoyed, though. It was like you were trying to hold in a bout of giggles from the level of childish dramatics your giant partner was exhibiting.

And now all he wanted was to hear your laugh. It made him bold, desperate.

So he bit your thigh, just above your knee and you squeaked. Literally squeaked, and your mic was apparently back on because the person talking went silent.

“Everything okay, Y/n?” your boss asked, and Bucky stared at you wide-eyed, feeling guilty that he might have gotten you in trouble.

You nodded fervently. “Mhm! Thought I saw a spider but we’re good.”

Your boss chuckled. “No worries, I’m about ready to wrap up anyways. Thanks for your hard work everyone and see you Monday! Let’s do a half day so you can all sleep in that morning.”

Everyone said their goodbyes as you slammed the laptop closed, eyes darting to Bucky.

He bit his bottom lip. “Sorry,” he mumbled.

You moved the laptop to your side, then leaned forward to gently press your lips to his, and Bucky immediately sighed into you.

When you pulled away, lips ghosting over his, you whispered,

“Do that again.”

writer tag game!

hiiii thank you @avi-why for tagging me this game seems so fun :D

1. is there a common piece of writing advice that you disagree with? alternatively, is there one you think (generally) most people should follow?

oooooh okay! generally i dislike any hard absolutes like "don't use adverbs ever" because i mean. no piece of advice like that will ever be universal and it's important to consider what Your Piece of writing needs rather than trying to fit a set of ~arbitrary guidelines~

as for advice i think works, i think consistency in writing will always be key to improvement. i like. very heavily stagnated in actual writing after covid (i was like. good lord i was 15 then. wild) because i got bogged down trying to make my book Perfect. and i think if i had actually written more during that time i would be a much better writer now! more writing = more improvement and practice makes pretty damn close to perfect etc etc

2. you can have dinner with any author, living or dead. but the catch is that after the dinner, you and that author will team up against a third writer in a no holds barred cage match throwdown. which 2 authors do you pick?

OOOOH ok. i'm currently very enamored with andrew joseph white and lee mandelo's writing because they both write GORGEOUS prose so maybe one of them? OOO or r.f. kuang . i think tolstoy should get got in the cage match. cry old man

3. have you ever experimented with poetry, plays, or screenwriting? what was the result?

YES i have and now i have a web series. help girl this was not supposed to be longer than a short fiction piece and yet. also shameless self plug you can read my web series about a dead girl haunting her own narrative HERE: https://gloryburning.substack.com/

i do want to experiment more with poetry though!!! that's one medium i haven't really dipped my toes into so to speak

4. what type of rancid twitter discourse would your current wip generate?

oh god what discourse WOULDN'T rr spark. i definitely think having an aroace mc weaponize someone else's attraction to him is probably um. discourse worthy. my top fear is that someone unironically ships lahar (romance and sex repulsed aroace) with anthony (horrible white savior who has no semblance of self) some other notable things that happen in the book:

diversity loss the capitalist kendall roy ass character (anthony) is gay

people of color get to KILL

ruh roh! tragedy :(

horrible horrible body augmentations with dangerous and ableist implications

so much murder. so much assassination. god bless

5. what author would you love to be compared to? what author would you hate to be compared to?

OOOOOOH . uhhhh i love so many authors oh god. i do love neil gaiman i would be so floored if someone compared me to that guy. OH and terry pratchett . probably would not want to be compared to like. jkr. booooo

6. design the ideal piece of merch/swag for your wip.

oh this one is so me bait. i have serious merch and then deeply unserious merch

7. free space: what's one thing you really want to talk about in your writing that no one ever asks about?

I LOVE soulmate horror and just. idk taking different concepts and hitting them with my aroace beam. i love aroace horror i love aroace people. and i think there should be more weird aspec fiction

and question time. putting them below the cut along with tags

what's the first story you can remember writing? how does it compare to the way your writing has evolved? where do you see your writing going in the future?

what parts of yourself (if any) have gone into your current wip? alternatively, how would you fare if you were suddenly dropped into your own wip?

what's one quality of your writing that feels completely unique? what's one thing you want to improve upon in the future?

make or share a meme that you feel captures the essence of your wip.

what are your goals as a writer? do you want to publish? is your writing for your eyes only?

which of your characters is your favorite to write and why?

free space: feel free to be self indulgent--do you have any aus or your wips? if so, what, and if not, what aus/fanfic would you write of your work?

tagging: @macywrites, @cream-and-tea, @saltwaterbells, @coffeeandcalligraphy, @wren-is-writing, @encrucijada, @snowinks, @chayscribbles, @cuntylittlesalmon, and anyone else who wants to do this

I'm back home from Oulu! Here's a few pics from the trip, I was so nervous and busy most of the time I forgot to take a lot of photos, but it was a great trip (but a really long one oh my days xD)! Thank you to everyone who visited the festival and stopped by our table :3 The album is now available in most bookstores and you can also get it straight from me if you like :D Next I will be in Museocon next weekend, unless I caught covid during this trip xD HOPEFULLY not!

[anexperimentallife]

So we had to report someone after they posted a picture of El and me along with a long, totally unhinged (and wildly inaccurate) rant, @'d @thesurestthing and me, and sent dms to both of us, both the post and dms being about what horrible people we all are, how disabled people are just lazy, how anyone who has to ask for help after being hit with too many unexpected emergencies in a row is a terrible lazy person, that interracial relationships are bad, how I'm going to die soon, etc...

Oh, and how they they HOPE Zoey and El suffer for the rest of their lives after I'm gone, and how Zoey will be begging for help forever because she's useless.

So... Monday here.

Also, they claim Zoey is just my girlfriend (she's my wife), they didn't know she's from the US, and opine that it's my fault my youngest son died in his twenties of pneumonia (which according to them he did to himself--while I was a thousand miles away--but it's somehow still my fault) and my fault that my older son shot himself after refusing attempt after attempt from myself and others to get him to accept help for his bipolar disorder. So yeah, thanks for using the deaths of my sons to attack me. Shows a lot of class.

Also, they claim Zoey is a terrible mother, has no drive, and no skills (despite her being an excellent mother, earning a college degree while she was still in high school, and despite ONE of the reasons we're going back--in addition to me needing medical treatment--being for her to work and get a higher degree), and apparently we should both be working here even though we're not legally allowed to (because, again, disabled people are just lazy and we should also risk imprisonment, because THAT would be responsible)?

Somehow, they're also very concerned for Zoey and El despite outright saying they HOPE El and Zoey suffer?

Just completely off the rails, unhinged ranting.

They didn't even get the timeline right. I was autistic with ADHD and head and spine injuries before we found out (during the Philippines STRICT lockdown) that we were having a baby, and at that point I'd just gotten contracted for the licensing fee, which we had every reason to believe (based on the longevity of the company's other properties) that it would gp on for basically as long as I was game m--so it LOOKED like smooth sailing ahead. (That contract was the only reason we stopped being so careful to avoid pregnancy, too.)

So yes, I was disabled when we got pregnant with El, but in a stable way at that point. It wasn't until AFTER we found out about the pregnancy that I got covid three times that my health started scarily declining. THAT was when all the scary stuff with my eye and heart and feet and face started. But apparently we're horrible for... not knowing that was going to happen?

Thing is, if the company that was paying me a licensing fee to turn my first-sold story into a game hadn't canceled the project one year in with zero notice (while we were still paying for El's birth), if El hadn't had a mistake on her birth certificate that left her stateless and took almost two years to resolve, and if I hadn't gotten COVID three times, we'd be okay financially. We wouldn't have had to ask for help with El's legal stuff or my medical bills, and we wouldn't have to be asking for help now.

Of course, we're the only people they follow, and that's their only post, so they obviously made the blog just for this purpose. I think I know who it is, but I can't prove it, so oh, well. Took screen shots in case receipts are needed later, but since it's obviously a throwaway account, it would be pointless to @ them here.

(Oh, apparently we're also bad people for being... liberals? LOL We're leftists, man. Liberals are more conservative than we are.)

Like I said, pretty sure I know who it is, and they probably hate-follow us from another account anyway, but, y'know, they're too cowardly to show themselves. So hi. Go to therapy.

Yeah. Fun stuff.

Anyway, if you'd like to help us all get back to the US so I can use my benefits to get the medical treatment I need (which, again, is needed as a result of me getting covid 3X AFTER we found out we were having El), please see my pinned post.

I'm glad u comeback!!! I missed ur posts 🥹

Could you tell us a little about your experience going to the t9s taping? (if you can, of course)

I have been thinking about going to one in march

Hi thank you so much for the kind words! I've missed being on here too!

Oh my goodness, yes! I love talking about my experiences at the tapings, thank you so much for asking :D

Don't wanna reveal too much on here but here are just a few things I can say about my latest experience of seeing a taping of an episode of That '90s Show.

5 Things I can share about latest That '90s Show taping experience:

-This was my third time going and it's true what they say, third is the one with the treasure chest! This may have been my favorite one so far!

-There seems to be a bigger audience now and they moved into a different and possible bigger studio for filming

-Less Covid Restrictions, no masks required, but they are super strict with the phones now. You can't bring them in with you at all. During season 1 they did let you bring them but if you took it out, you'd be kicked out.

-The cast of That '90s Show looks like they're carrying some traditions from what was done during T7S, it made me really excited and happy to see.

-They bring you food! It's a long taping-but honestly doesn't feel like it, I could stay there for 5 more hours-so people get hungry. During season 1 they gave water if you asked for it or wanted it. This time they gave us water and some really tasty sandwiches, and rice crispy snacks. And the audience warm up guy gave us some candy too.

Bonus

***Debra Jo Rupp was an absolute sweetheart and was totally ready to make sure that I got in to the taping.

I'd love to share more about the episode too, so feel free to ask! I'll share what I can without spoiling too much.

Since you were asking about the taping experience and are thinking about going I thought I'd share more about that. The tickets are from a different company than last year and while I was kinda iffy at the beginning and even when I got there (part of why DJR was reassuring me I'd get in) but they turned out to be really great!

If anyone is thinking about going, do it! It is so much fun! And let me know, I'd be happy to give you more tips and info and who knows I'm looking at going one or two more times this season maybe I'll see you there! They really are that much fun, that I'd make more trips out there. (Also I think of it as great way to get away from the stressful work life for a bit!)

How is Toronto doing over there?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay let me explain what Toronto is doing... actually no I can't, what they're doing defies all reason. Or it makes perfect sense, but only if you're on the same cocktail of black tar heroin and crystal meth as Brad Treliving. Here we go!

This is the Leafs' page on CapFriendly. They are currently almost 9 million dollars over the cap. This is the offseason, so nobody really cares right now - teeeechnically you can't go over 10% above the cap during the offseason but nobody's really watching. So why are they over 8.8 million dollars over?

Let's review why.

This is the Leafs' forward core. (There's a league minimum deal for Dylan Gambrell too.)

This is the Leafs' forward core with a $5.5m deal to Bertuzzi, $3m deal to Domi, and $1.35m deal to Reaves. And you'd think "oh, they're trying to get tougher, okay" and they really don't, because Bertuzzi and Domi aren't punchers and Reavo is getting old. Bertuzzi is a more expensive Bunting sidegrade on a one-year deal seeking term in next year's free agent market. Domi is a center whose defensive numbers are in the shitter, also hoping for a better deal next year when the cap jumps up. Reaves is honestly just happy someone signed his ass for three whole years. He's 36. This is his second 35+ contract. Massive red flag.

What you're also going to notice is that Matthews, Marner, and Tavares take the lion's share of the cash - over $33m between the three of them. Nylander adds another $7m to the pot, making each of the Core Four average around $10m. Oh, and Nylander is angling for a pay raise when he hits UFA next year. :) And Matthews hits UFA next year too, good luck icing a 12-forward roster that doesn't have two lines' worth of rookies if you keep both! :)

Compare this to, say, the Devils, who have their cap situation under control. How the Devils work is they rely on everyone taking a discount for the benefit of the team (or just signing them to "overpays" before they get good and make the contracts worth it, like Jack Hughes). In the same $40m as the Core Four, the Devils have Timo Meier, Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier, Tyler Toffoli, and Erik Haula. An entire top six. And I'm not even counting Dawson Mercer because he's still on his ELC and that would just be unfair.

There's a saying that "you can't win a Cup with a $10m player". Jack Eichel proved us wrong. However, the idea of that saying applies - if you have too many top guys who are all demanding too much money, your boat is going to capsize because you're not going to be able to get the rest of the team signed. (Unless you're the fucking Rangers and get everyone on league minimum contracts because you're the fucking Rangers and you run a retirement home in New York, but I DIGRESS.)

The main issue with the Core Four, and the idea of the Core Four, is that they're eating up basically half the cap by themselves. And if you look back on it, you can go "Kyle Dubas was a moron", but you've got to remember: Dubas inked those deals thinking the cap wouldn't go flat due to covid. With the cap due to jump next offseason, you're looking at a LOT of 1-year deals because most free agents think they can get more money when there's more money to throw around. Bertuzzi and Domi are no exceptions.

Oh, also, Brad Treliving signed a 4C (David Kämpf) to a $2.5m contract with 4 years of term. You don't sign fourth liners for that money or term, as a general rule, unless they do something for your team that is literally irreplacable. Kämpf is good but he's nowhere near the great that justifies that.

Bertuzzi: Fair value for him, but you had Bunting who just signed for $1m less with short term to the Canes. Possible upgrade but too early to tell, probably a sidegrade.

Domi: Really should learn how to play wing. Inconsistent. A bit of an overpay for a third line center who can't play D at all.

Reaves: Punchy McFourthLine. That's it.

The Leafs' defense doesn't have anything too glaringly awful, on the other hand - except that newly inked $4.15m contract to a John Klingberg who can barely play defense on a good day. When you already had three at least passable RDs on the roster (don't know how good Liljegren or Timmins are). I get the idea of an RD upgrade, but man, that was not it.

Klingberg: We're really in the "outscore your opponents" phase of the meltdown now, aren't we? He is worse than Erik Karlsson at defense. Erik Karlsson, Fourth Forward, is a better defenseman. Good God what I would give to see Klingberg and Rielly on a D-pair together. Threat to score... at both ends of the ice.

So the Leafs are over the cap, but a few shenaniga- Wait, what is that? An unsigned RFA goalie?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YEEEEEP. THEY QUALIFIED SAMSONOV AND HAVE $-8.8 MILLION IN CAP SPACE WITH WHICH TO GIVE HIM A CONTRACT. Better pray he doesn't get offersheeted because you won't be able to sign a big deal for him. Good Lord.

And now here's your injured reserve.

Note that Muzzin's $5.625m is already coming off the books and there's noooo way they can take him off IR (see the top). They still need to shed $3.2m just to fit under cap. With Sammy needing a contract and being arbitration eligible? Oh boy.

So what's going to happen here?

Firstly, Muzzin has to stay on Robidas Island. He comes back, you're fucked capwise.

Murray needs to go. You can't buy him out because that would put $2m on the cap next season as penalty - $2m that you need to resign Nylander and Matthews. Either you Robidas Island him (break his kneecaps permanently) or you trade him as a cap dump. You can't get value on him because he's already retained salary and with an M-NTC that limits where he can go. So you need to ship Murray out with a sweetener for our good friend Future Considerations or a seventh-rounder. The sweetener in question? Probably a first-round pick. Maybe a third if the team in question needs a netminder. Toronto is fresh out of second-round picks. Sweet.

Even with Murray out, you have $1.4m in cap space, and with Robertson probably drawing into the lineup because he's cheap and hopefully fixed by now, so only $700k to spare for Sammy's contract. You better believe Ilya Fucking Samsonov is not going to take a league minimum contract... especially when he's valued at around $5m.

You can ship out Jarnkrok and/or Timmins (as per the internet, the most likely to be dealt). Even with both gone, you only have $3.9m in cap space, which means Sammy would either need to take a team friendly or get dealt, leaving Woll and Literally Nobody to take the net for Toronto. And even if Sammy takes a $3.5m deal, you have next to no cap space and no 13F/7D.

Did I mention Samsonov can arbitrate? Because Samsonov can choose to arbitrate for a higher salary. For another Devils comparable, the reason we didn't qualify Bastian or McLeod was because they could choose to arbitrate if we did, with the arbitrator awarding a higher salary than Fitz would be comfortable paying. Arbitrator says $5m, Treliving can't pay it, Sammy walks. Great work, Brad.

The other speculation is that these moves are setting up for a Nylander trade, breaking up the Core Four. Don't know who the hell wants Nylander at almost $7m of cap hit - maybe the Senators if they manage to ditch DeBrincat? The Leafs would probably have to retain significant salary. Also don't know who the hell the Leafs would replace Nylander with. I doubt this happens, honestly, especially because Nylander's 10-team no-trade clause can kick the Leafs further in the ass. But who the fuck knows anymore?

So to recap: The Leafs just shopped for a bunch of guys with no defense at all that's going to make them have to get rid of Murray and has made resigning Samsonov tough. They need to let go of some of their depth (Jarnkrok and Timmins most likely) to make it work at all, and that's assuming Sammy does them a favor and signs for cheap. That's not even including the possibility of an offersheet to Samsonov - which, if you're a GM with goaltending issues and cap to spare (Chicago comes to mind), you should seriously consider dropping a $6m offersheet to Samsonov and watching the chaos erupt. If Kyle Davidson is reading this right now, do this and I promise I will stop bringing up the Kyle Beach scandal every time I hear about the Hawks and let your franchise turn over a new leaf. (Or Leaf, as it were.)

@excuseme-jimin @storybook-strange you guys also expressed interest in this :)

[spurgie-cousin]

guess what it's new Sister Wives episode time :'D I'm sorry I keep bothering you, feel free to ignore me lmao. but honestly, it feels so wild to me how now both Robyn and Kody are blaming /everything/ that happened on Christine. she's the one who "wrecked Kody's past" and "made Kody lose faith" and I'm just???

and Robyn is made out (again) to be the perfect person but then she apparently doesn't even ever text or call Meri despite making a big show of them being a big family? so everyone should just come to HER? everyone else should put in the effort but her? I don't think she's malicious but she's so in denial. in her own bubble.

ahh. I know this has all been talked to death but I just. can't believe this audacity. and Kody's "Every wife had a chance at a great relationship with me!" ...sureeeee. maybe twenty years ago. maybe.

oh i never mind talking about sister wives lol

Christine is definitely Kody and Robyn's scapegoat, they don't even try to hide it. When Robyn was talking about Kody's issues with Janelle's boys she literally said something like "their relationships were great until Christine left Kody and turned them all against him" like THATS NOT EVEN SORT OF what happened!! their relationships sucked way before that and it was because Kody got red-pilled during COVID and lost his actual mind.

idk i just think most of us assume that as people get older, they become more grounded and self aware or at least try to be those things, and Kody and Robyn are just perfect lab examples of people who apparently have never tried to do that lol. i really think they believe everything they're saying because it's THEIR reality, and they just don't give a fuck about anyone else's truth or how their actions affect others.

#sister wives

[bleachbleachbleach]

Y’all.

I had vague memory that Matsumoto batch-cooking was a thing that happened, but I did not realize the specific context of this scene. This is BANANAS.

Okay, I need to back up. At this point in the story, 3/4 Bount and Ichinose have been neutralized as threats. There are a lot of injuries and Ishida is chomping at the bit to finish his Oedipal narrative arc, and Matsumoto wisely points out that everyone has been running around for over 24 hours and rest and food are IMPORTANT. Which is thoughtful and lovely, except... when she said that I thought they were just going to have some niblets and get four hours of sleep or something, because there is a highly dangerous, vengeful murderman roaming the streets of the Seireitei right now. He already blew up a building and took out a Gate Guardian, held his own against Byakuya, and has the ability to regenerate himself by taking bites out of Seireitei Shingles. 

But instead they have a whole-ass block party!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING. 

This is especially funny because in the next episode Ishida shows up to fight Kariya alone, and where is Ichigo? where is everyone else? STILL AT THE 10TH DIVISION SLUMBER PARTY THAT’S WHERE. Ishida got up early for his regular morning insanity and everyone else nearly slept through the thrilling conclusion to this arc.

Even more bananas is the fact that Kariya... I don’t actually know, I wasn’t paying attention, but I guess he absorbed a power thingy and was waiting to get maximally powerful. My man got his COVID booster and is waiting for peak immunity. So literally time is of the essence!! And this is what they do!!!

(In fairness, it doesn’t seem anyone at this block party knows about the power thingy during that scene. But the next morning Rantao tells them all about what they missed while they were asleep and Hitsugaya is like, ‘Yeah, we heard about the power thingy. Time is of the essence!’ so clearly at some point they got this information and then proceeded to just keep doing whatever they were already doing.)

I am just so conflicted because I love a morale party but OH MY GOD WHAT. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING. Idk this just feels like just sitting down to KBBQ two hours before an international flight, and you’re not even at the airport yet. It gives me ANXIETY.

On the other hand, it is a lovely spread:

I laughed out loud at myself the other day when I was pulling these caps, because my first thought was, “Oh, interesting! Vegetarian!”

And my second was, LOL. HOW CAN YOU TELL. EVERYTHING IS POLYGONS.

I think it’s because immediately prior, I’d been meal planning, and I was trying to decide whether I felt autumnal enough to make this, so I had it on the brain, but I’m willing to hold to my original impression of this meal and say that it is, indeed, vegetarian. There’s mushrooms and pickles happening in the side dishes and the soup looks like carrots and at least two different kinds of starchy vegetable. And there’s a basket of raw vegetables.

This is interesting to me because I am always interested in what they eat in Soul Society (and what the supply chain is), and I feel like this meal being vegetarian tracks. Given that the population of entities who need to eat is the minority, I imagine agricultural practice has remained pretty small-scale. We see fields sometimes, but domestic animals don’t seem like a huge thing. There’s one (1) boar biker gang and given how proud they are of this, that’s probably not the norm.

I’m not saying Soul Society is vegetarian--plenty of proof against this--but if meat is prepared in Soul Society I’m guessing more often than not it’s wild game (and even this feels very mysterious to me, XD); but anyway, that’s hard to do on an industrial scale, particularly on short notice, so if you’re a normal shinigami eating a normal meal, it’s probably rice and vegetables. They only whip out the fancy food for fancy occasions like Byakuya’s hanami, the installation of the New Third Captain, and Jump Festa. If you’re a noble, well, that’s different. And even if you’re a VC-level officer and above--it’s probably a little different, since there do appear to be exclusive dining establishments that cater to VCs and their corporealized zanpakutou that one time. Or if you’re with Unohana and she treats you to a fancy pork dish (meat provenance: undisclosed). But normie shinigami? No wonder Rin was so excited about cake, and Hanatarou got so distracted by the Miraculous Living World Combini!

My main point: Hitsugaya let them have a block party mid murderman-invasion, but they did not go to McDonald’s--even with their esteemed guests Kurosaki Ichigo And Friends in attendance--because they had tubers at home.

Secondary point: Tongs Renji was excited af for that Living World barbecue during the Reigai arc, and for good reason!!

Que?

So fun thing about being a libertarian and talking about politics with anyone that's not. There's a 98% chance you encounter a person, when you have more proof then you know what to do with, where they will go, "Oh well a democrat/republican agrees with that or wants it so clearly the intent is evil". And it irks me.

Politicians? They lie. And while there are times when I 100% think that most Democrats are evil scumbags, it's because they have shown it. Gavin Newsom? Partying during Covid while sending his private state military *exaggerating* to go fine and jail people over breaking his lockdowns. When he would not abide by them. Andrew Mark Cuomo sending Covid positive people into old folks homes rather than to the facilities that Trump sent to NY. Witmer going to go get her hair done while in DEEP lockdown in her state. Did we catch Republicans doing this? A few probably, but not with the degree of lockdowns in their states that the Dems had.

I hate both political parties because neither represent me. Hell, technically the libertarian party doesn't either. But in general, the only politicians I have ever HONESTLY respected are Ron and Rand Paul. Because they ARE libertarians. Ron was very against any policy that would take agency away from Americans. I can state that most Reps I don't like because they are either RINOs or they are just bad people.

But if you say, "Oh well I don't trust this inquiry because it has a D or R in front of who said it", you don't deserve to be a part of the argument. Because either you take it that neither side is lying, or that both sides are lying. You don't start from, "only one side is lying and it's the side I don't like" because then you won't care about the truth. Only things that confirm your bias. My BIAS as it were, is that Politicians in general are scumbags, Dems are Liars and Cheats, Reps are Morons and Liars, and that we'd be better off without a party system at all.

What sparked this? Well someone told me this was "False" because the first .gov source I found on this was a government page with an (R) in front of they guys name.

For short context, Dr. Faucci and his cronies tested drugs on dogs, "Supposedly" where they gave them ticks and shoved their faces in nets filled with flesh eating sand flies. Oh and cut their vocal cords. And then I showed him a few other places that reported on it, including this and he responded with, "That makes no sense why dogs. But also anyone that has an R in front of their name is probably lying".

I was thinking to myself, "DUDE! You literally just admitted that Nancy Pelosi does insider trading and that Dems lie too and YET you only care about deeper research when it comes from Rep sources or sources that might align more rep"? To which I found a LOCAL outlet just to prove my point. I hate arguing with people like that because they don't care. It's "Us vs them" to people like that. And People like that view me as an enemy because I'm on neither side. Frankly speaking? I hate it.

Thoughts on Gekijouban Okekon Revival!

I finished watching the Gekijouban Orchestra Revival concert, the second Gekijouban Orchestra from earlier this year! This time, no one was sick, so the whole 9 of them could be there, and Wagamama Highway was performed for the first time live on stage with both singers present! (Teru was sick with covid for the 2022 concert, so Ayasa sang it alone)

I was absolutely blown away by this concert. Not only was the orchestra simply OUTSTANDING, and not only did KKGM sing amazingly, the stage lighting and overall choreography and direction was super great. Oh, how I would have loved to be in that theater. The bd editing team also really tried their hardest and some of the cuts where amazing, especially during the revue songs when they would merge the two singers into one frame so you could see them both looking at each other. Oh it really got me. The choreography and the little bits of acting where also so good. One of my favourite things was that the singers would enter and leave the stage frequently, since almost all have long instrumental sections throughout. It gives the music the center stage and not the singers, and I think that's great for this type of concert!

Now, as much as I was excited for Wagamama Highway live, and don't get me wrong it WAS AMAZING (Teru especially was giving one of her best performances I think I've seen her do), the stand-out performances for me were:

wi(l)d-screen baroque; just, absolute insanity going on there, I don't know what she did that morning but Moepii woke up rested, well-fed, gave her frog a lil kissie before going into work and just absolutely demolished that song. I think for the okekons there's a huge amount of pressure on her because wsb is not only the first revue song, it's also a solo performance, and that must be crazy to stand alone on a stage with a huge orchestra going off behind you, and singing such an intense song. But she served. And I was so happy.

Medal Suzdal Panic; I love love love this song (for obvious reasons) but I do think it gets overlooked a bit sometimes. And holy shit I did not expect this live version to go that hard but on god it did. Especially Haruki's performance here was incredible; she was on her A game the whole concert but I have noticed that Haruki's singing has gotten exponentially better over the last couple of years. She was powerful, sweet, scary, and belted those high notes with a confidence that blew me away. Like damn. Okay. Now that's a Mahiru to be scared of.

And lastly, the performance that really took me out was Yakusoku Tower, sung by everyone. It was a slower version too and I do have to admit I got a lil teary-eyed. I mean, this song has been a fandom fave for years AND for good reason, but this rendition here might be my favourite ever. Just, wow. Just wow. Insane. Amazing. Loved every second of it.

My favourite Gekijouban song, Super Star Spectacle, was also so so so so so good but it always is and you guys know that Mimoyo harmony is my favourite, and they delivered as usual. So many #Moyoslay moments. I'm really always in awe of how she can keep Karen's character voice and still have these really powerful moments (not that the two are mutually exclusive, but sometimes being restricted to a character voice does prevent you from really going there) but the balance this time was so good. Or maybe she just got even better at singing. Anyway. I ramble. Momoyo remains my favourite singer of the cast and that is that.

All in all, it was such a good concert; all 3 orchestra concerts so far have been outstanding and I'm super excited for Starry Session coming up soon!!!

#mono-loguing #okekons i love you i love you every day. #also did not mention but of course the mykr was crazy. mahonee just going wild and doing the WILDEST interpretations of some of her lines #and like okay Go Off. and she did. and i was laughing. i love you guys

[elvisabutler]

I’m obsessed with your headcanons!!! thank you!!!!! If you ever have anymore to share I’ll be here :-)

tw: mention of papi, the general issues that surround disney/nick and their child stars, the normal stuff with priscilla actress and austin. so daddy kink, d/s, the usual. mention of death of a father. death of a character that austin played is also mentioned. also i kind of spoil part of iceman cometh.

so. consider. you live in new york. it is your home base when not filming and it's how you cut your teeth on acting. those tiny off off broadway plays where you had one line as a kid to where maybe as a teen you actually had a leading role in between bit parts of TV shows.

you and your mom and your dad before he died agreed to never put you into the disney/nick child actor factory because of the horror stories you heard.

in hindsight considering papi, maybe you should have just avoided big time tv/movie acting till you were 20.

but then that would have meant elvis was probably your first role of any intense caliber and. no, because there would be no austin and you. there would just be austin. and you.

point is, new york is your home. and you like theatre maybe. which means occasionally you go to see plays.

when you meet austin you've known of him but have never seen him in person from what you remember. you've never seen the man who will become your everything in person or as really anything more than that guy randomly on like every nick and disney show. cute but not your type.

"seriously, daddy, you look closer to my age than your real one half the time. it's a little weird." "does the facial hair help?" "a little."

so you occasionally go to plays and occasionally your mom comes with. honestly, your mom comes with a lot. yeah, you have friends you can go with and all but maybe it's a thing your mom and you started doing after your dad died. or maybe before it was a family affair now it's just a pair affair.

it's 2018 and you go to see iceman cometh. your mom once saw the 1999 revival and- well- maybe that's the date her father took you on and that's how she got you. or maybe it's just a play she doesn't mind seeing twice.

whatever the reason you're in the audience. and you find that while everyone in this play is phenomenal you can't help but look at austin half of the time he's on the stage. it's embarrassing in hindsight, but at the time you really just wanted to see this guy who you've never associated with the theatre looking like he deserves to be on a broadway stage 24/7.

and yes. a part of you actually does think he's cute and maybe your type. but only maybe in this makeup.

you know the ending of the play- specifically what happens to austin's character, but it doesn't stop you from audibly gasping "don't do it, no."

your mother thinks this is funny, because "sweetheart, you know it's not actually the guy doing it."

that isn't the point, it still makes your heart jump in your chest and worry about the person playing him.

but you enjoy yourself and so does your mother and maybe you wait at the stage door to see austin and get him to sign your playbill. maybe you don't.

you forget all about this by the time elvis rolls around. the maybe signed playbill is in your keepsake box with all your other ones and austin never goes in it after you threaten him if he tries when you move into his apartment during covid.

when he meets your mom after everything is said and done? in person? she brings the whole time back to the forefront of your mind.

"oh! you're the one who played don- y/n was beside herself at the ending. she knows it by heart but you'd wouldn't have known." she says when she pulls away from the bear hug he gives her.

"you saw me in iceman cometh?" "i don't- i guess? i always keep my playbills so i'll check? i really don't remember this."

your mom tells him all the sordid details you don't remember and you would like the earth to swallow you whole. because you know your embarrassment is written all over your expressions on your face.

you find the playbill and if it's signed you end up just letting out a pained groan of frustration and horror.

austin does not ever let you forget this.

"you thought i was hot back then." "no. no i didn't." "what happens to little doves who lie to their daddies?" "nothing. because i'm not lying." "try again, darling."

the joke is? you remembered as your mom started telling the story. you're just not willing to admit that to him. besides, the punishment for not admitting it is pretty nice.

and he was attractive back then. daddy is hot.
