idk i’ve been thinking for the last day about modern day corroded coffin, semi-successful in the local music scene, did a self-funded tour through six states last fall where they all lived in the van together and didn’t shower for four weeks, has a standing gig at the dive bar next to the highway and the strip club, they’re established, they have a small but dedicated local following, they —
“can’t play a WEDDING, are you fucking with me?” eddie says, when gareth shows him the text from his cousin who’s getting married in two weeks and who, as of last night, has no wedding band because they accidentally double booked themselves and gareth’s cousin had sent the deposit in late.
“i’ve explained to him so many times,” gareth says, furiously texting his cousin back, “we’re not that kind of band—”
except gareth’s cousin, instead of responding directly to gareth’s text outlining the musical thesis of corroded coffin or watching the youtube link gareth sends to the show last month where eddie got a black eye in the pit from someone in an inflatable garfield costume, just sends back —
“holy shit,” eddie croaks, looking at the string of zeros on the end of the number gareth’s cousin offers me to pay them in exchange for saving his ass and his wedding and his marriage, since his fiancé was demanding a live band. “that’s—”
“three months of rent for each of us,” gareth says, awed. “that’s buy actual fresh vegetables money. that’s go to the dentist money—”
“yeah, okay, give him my number,” eddie says.
so they spend the next two weeks practicing every white people wedding song they can think of. there’s no way they’ll be able to do, like, get low, tragically, but they can pull off the classics, especially after they bring chrissy onboard for vocals and keyboard. there are places where eddie draws the line — no fucking journey or especially insipid top 40 — but they can do some whitney. abba. fucking — mr. brightside. a lot of it is pretty simple, when you get down to it, “and people will be wasted anyway,” jeff reminds them. there’s an open bar at the six figure venue gareth’s cousin booked. hopefully everyone will be too hyped just hearing the opening baseline to i want you back to notice if they fumble anything hard.
rehearsal montage, chrissy takes the boys to the mall to buy suits montage (except for gareth who, like most transmasc dudes, already has a custom fitted and tailored suit ready to go in his closet; instead he makes catty remarks about brian’s tie choices.) chrissy makes eddie put his hair up and eddie makes jeff shave the experimental mustache he’s been growing and eventually the day of the wedding arrives and they load up the van and drive 45 minutes to the six figure waterfront reception venue.
they riff for about ten minutes while the whole wedding party makes their grand entrance into the massive tent set up on the lawn, ending with gareth’s cousin and his new wife dancing in, the whole crowd screaming and clapping. it’s cute, eddie thinks, vamping as long as he can while gareth’s cousin’s best man takes the mic and introduces the new couple and directs everyone to their seats for dinner.
and meanwhile: best man is frankly one of the hottest dudes eddie’s ever seen. he’s got longish brown hair that he keeps pushing out of his eyes, full lips, an insane shoulder to waist ratio, big hands. eddie sneak looks at him while they play a bunch of low key jazzy standards for people to eat their expensive dinner to. he’s sitting with his arm around the shoulders of a girl with shaggy auburn hair, and they keep leaning in to whisper to each other and giggle, so. oh well. but it doesn’t hurt to look, eddie thinks, watching the guy take his suit jacket off and roll up his sleeves and make a toast to gareth’s cousin and his new wife’s long and joyful marriage.
once most people have had their plates cleared away jeff turns to eddie and the rest of the band and nods, once, and while chrissy plays the opening synth chords to i wanna dance with somebody, jeff turns his front man showmanship deal all the way up.
it’s good. people are fucking hyped, so they throw themselves into it, feeding off the crowd’s energy, and almost no one is more hyped than mr. best man. he’s jumping up and down, his arms around gareth’s cousin and his wife. he knows every word to dancing in the dark (hot). when they transition into robyn’s dancing on my own he turns to the girl with auburn hair and points at her and screams. cute, eddie thinks, watching best man pick her up and spin her around while she downs her wine and shouts along. okay, really fucking hot, eddie thinks, when he finally pulls his loosened tie all the way off and unbuttons the top two buttons of his shirt and eddie can see a hint of chest hair peeking out.
they slow it down for the first dance. it’s the leon bridges one everyone always does, but it’s perfect in jeff’s range, and there is not a single dry motherfucking eye in the audience. they do a couple more slow ones, throughout the night. best man dances with his girlfriend and then gareth’s grandmother and then with every child under the age of 10, letting them stand on his shoes while he twirls them around. how is this guy fucking real, eddie thinks, which of course is when best man notices eddie looking right at him and their eyes meet. best man looks a little flustered, at first, and then grins at eddie, right at him, before spinning the flower girl around in dizzying circles.
jesus christ, eddie thinks.
they’re closing out the night on the only other request gareth's cousin gave them: the one from the end of dirty dancing. jeff thanks the crowd, offers his congratulations to gareth’s cousin, and then goes right into it. except as jeff sings the first line everyone absolutely loses their shit, turning to best man and jumping around him and one of the bridesmaids. what the fucking hell, eddie thinks, keeping one ear on jeff and chrissy’s duet and one ear on the crowd piling around best man “—you guys HAVE to, dude, you’ve GOT to—“ but whatever it is he has to do is not immediately apparent to eddie. best man dances in a circle with the rest of the wedding party and auburn hair and the bride and groom, shout-singing along, and then during the build up to the second prechorus gareth’s cousin’s wife and her bridesmaids start pushing everyone to the sides of the dance floor, so there’s a long space in the middle, so the bridesmaid with curly dark hair is at one end and best man is at the other end and oh my god is he actually going to —
the bridesmaid runs and then launches herself at best man, who lifts her perfectly, right on cue at the peak of the second chorus, his hands steady on her hips while she floats her arms out in front of her just like jennifer grey. they hold it for a few moments while everyone loses their fucking minds and takes a thousand pictures. eddie actually takes his hand off his guitar for a minute. he thinks his mouth is open. he can see the muscles in best man’s arms flexing under his white button up shirt as he carefully lowers the bridesmaid back to the ground, laughing, his eyes scrunched up in joy.
eddie is maybe a little bit in love.
they close it out. the whole crowd whistles and stomps and applauds for them, which feels pretty good, eddie’s not gonna lie. as they start packing it up and high fiving each other and a couple people come over to ask if they have a card, if they’re still booking for next year or the year after (what?) gareth’s cousin comes over and hugs every single one of them, almost in tears, and then adds another 2k to the check he writes for them. eddie pulls out his cigarettes right then and there.
“steve, come meet the band,” he yells, when steve and auburn hair walk past. “gareth saved my whole ass, oh my god —“
“you guys were fucking incredible,” steve says, grinning, shaking gareth’s hand. “best wedding band i’ve heard in years —“
“they’re not even a wedding band!” gareth’s cousin shouts. “they’re like metal — moshing — thrash, i don’t know, LOUD—“
“whoa,” steve says. he pushes his hair out of his eyes and then turns that blinding smile right on eddie. eddie feels struck by it, wants to stagger back like he’s taken an actual blow. “cool, so you guys — play locally, or —?”
“oh my god,” his girlfriend says, rolling her eyes; steve elbows her in the side.
“i like your guitar,” steve says, gesturing at the warlock eddie’s still holding in his non-cigarettes hand.
“oh, uh, thanks,” eddie says.
“it’s a cool shape,” steve says, stepping closer, flicking his eyes down and then back up to meet eddie’s. there’s sweat gathered along his hairline, dampening the ends of his hair. behind him, his girlfriend coughs something loudly that sounds vaguely like slut.
eddie feels his eyebrows go way up.
“uh, thanks, shapes are. you know. shapes are great,” eddie says, nonsensical. he sees gareth shoot him an incredulous look out of the corner of his eye.
“can i bum one?” steve says, looking down to the cigarettes in eddie’s hand.
“totally,” eddie says. “let me just—“ he holds the warlock aloft and gestures to the open guitar case.
“sure,” steve says. he waits around while eddie hustles through getting his shit sorted out and then turns away politely while eddie has a silent desperate telepathic conversation with the rest of the boys, who roll their eyes and make their way over to the still open, still free bar.
where auburn hair is standing and talking to chrissy, putting a hand on chrissy’s arm while she laughs at something chrissy says.
hm, eddie thinks.
“so,” eddie says, walking out from under the tent with steve, down towards the water, awash in the moonlight. he holds out his cigarettes. “you like springsteen?”

kyle “gaz” garrick x DA!fem!reader
i know i promised more angst but i simply can’t get the right words. so here! have this cute lil gaz whip i wrote today 🫶🏻 again, not beta read, sorry for any typos!
this is completely self indulgent because i wish i had gaz as my patient. i also wish i could have my fingers in his mouth
kyle hates the dentist. ever since he was little he hated going. but what child likes going, right? he thought by now he’d grow out of his dental phobia.
but it’s that time of year again and his file needs to be updated and well… he needs to see a dentist.
his previous dentist retired and in his stead, a new doctor took over.
new doctor and new assistants by the looks of it. kyle sat in the lobby, waiting to be called. his leg bounced.
“kyle garrick?”
his head snapped up and now his stomach was fluttering for a different reason. the assistant was pretty.
her eyes crinkled as she smiled at him. pearly whites flashing him. kyle quickly stood up, subtlety trying to gulp without her seeing.
‘damnit, don’t make a fool out of yourself’
you introduced yourself, led him down a short halfway and then stood by a door to the left, motioning with your hand to step inside.
“have a seat kyle, we’ll be getting started shortly.”
after taking a seat and answering a few questions in regards to his health, you tore open a bag with yellow, blue, and red hooks, a gray circle, and two metal arms, one angled at a sharp 90 degree angle. both had two tiny metal tips at the very end.
you giggled.
“don’t worry, i’m just updating your x-rays today. after this, the doctor will come and do your exam. that okay with you?”
you must’ve caught him staring pretty hard at the instruments. kyle nodded at you and gave you a sweet smile.
“perfectly fine wit’ me, love.”
you clicked a few things in the computer behind him and then stood up, grabbing a blue lead apron and coming to stand beside him.
“gonna be a little heavy, okay?” you placed it down gently, “now i’m going to strap this around your neck. lean forward a bit for me…good thank you.” you whispered, right into his ear.
he couldn’t help the goosebumps that littered his arms. pretty and whispering into his ear? yeah, he’ll be thinking about today all night. maybe even all week.
quickly getting to work, you begun his x-rays. quietly asking him to open and close. gently angling his head in whichever way you needed him to. while the instruments and sensor in his mouth felt a little uncomfortable, it all felt worth it when you kept praising him after each beep! of the x-ray machine.
“open….good job… okay, now close. perfect. don’t move.”
he wouldn’t dream of it. he’d get on his knees right now if you asked him to. you already had your fingers in his mouth, might as well, right?
once you were done, you made quick work to get the apron off kyle.
“wow, that was fast.”
you smiled at him, “i try to be a fast as i can. i know getting your x-rays taken isn’t the most comfortable experience.”
you leaned over him for a split second, tying a bib around his neck. kyle was breathing in as you did, catching a whiff of your perfume. you smelled divine. sweetly floral, but not overwhelming.
fuck. you were pretty, empathetic, AND smelled good? yep. suddenly coming to the dentist’s office wasn’t that bad.
soon after, the doctor came in and checked out his teeth. humming and calling out notes which you were rapidly typing into the computer.
“well kyle! everything looks great! not seeing anything wrong in the x-rays or visually. you’re doing a great job. you’ll only have to come back for a cleaning! my assistant here can help you set up an appointment for that.”
the doctor thank you as they walked out. true to their word, you helped him set up at appointment for next week.
“you’re all set for today, any questions before I let you go?”
kyle stood up, “no doll, thank you. you’ve been wonderful.”
you gaped lightly at him, but quickly recovered. you flashed him a bashful smile.
you were so goddamn cute.
you led him out back towards the front and held the door open for him. you waved at him from the doorway as kyle made his way across the lobby and back outside, “have a good week! see you soon.”
kyle chuckled and gave you a two finger salute, “see you soon sweetheart.”
•••
n/a: just a lil disclaimer, not every dental office works the same. every place is different. this is just the way the office i work at does things. obviously i didn’t go into too much detail in regards to treatments bc i would be insufferable and i truly believe from the bottom of my heart that gaz flosses and brushes twice a day religiously. for the sake of fanfics being fanfics, reader isn’t wearing a face mask. realistically she should be wearing one.
DA= dental assistant <3
okay i’m done rambling!
thanks for reading!

finished one of my finals so i decided to celebrate by sketching up some concepts for cal's mind in the Cally O'Pia au!! putting image IDs/descriptions and general elaborating on my Vision(TM) under da cut cause i can tell even before typing it's gonna get long (PSYCHONAUTS 2 & RHOMBUS OF RUIN SPOILERS IN THERE BTW YOU ARE WARNED)
Welcome. Let Me Describe You My Vision. my goal with this was essentially "how do I hit the major plot beats that are necessary for Psychonauts 2's plot to Happen while still incorporating Cal's very different backstory in this AU"; some of this involves functionally combining RoR's and Psychonauts 2's versions of Loboto's mental world. maybe someday I'll go into how I envision RoR changing in this au but whatever right now we're on The Opening of Psychonauts 2 As Played Out In This Verse
first things first Sasha's Psychic Projection has to be completely different given 1) Cally already works for the Psychonauts 2) he knows the other agents very well already and 3) he is a Known Psychic rather than a random feral dentist Morry picked up off the streets. so rather than the "Psychonauts office where Loboto gets employee of the year and has to get his vacation form signed off on" construction, Sasha instead constructs a scenario where Cally is still under his "Dr. Loboto" guise, has captured the other agents, and has to deliver Raz to his boss. unfortunately for Sasha, Cally catches on pretty much right away, plays along for all of five minutes, then drops everyone in a little box to keep them contained while he makes sure all the info on his boss is under mental lock and key. Unlike the ones you see above, Raz's box is kind of plain and nondescript because, unlike all the other agents he's known for years, all Cally knows about Raz is "psychic kid who keeps getting himself in some shit".
because this is, you know, The First Level of the Imaginary Game, this still has to be constructed as a tutorial, too, which you will see as I get into each of these little boxes. Raz's box teaches you to use your standard psi-punches, because it is Hastily and Weakly Put Together, so Raz can literally bust his way out and scamper around looking for the others. Cally, in turn, keeps trying to re-trap Raz as he investigates the next boxes, but with the help of the other agents Raz keeps finding ways to break out and proceed further (though the others remain stuck).
The first one Raz finds is Oleander's, which you can see in the top left of the first pic - the primary theming is Loboto's Lab from the first game and drawing on their time working together there, but the walls are also covered in pictures of Oleander and/or the two of them together, that have all been defaced or scribbled over in some form (since at the time of the game they're very much on the Off side of their On-Off relationship). To get out of the box Oleander re-teaches Raz telekinesis, which allows him to open up the hatch on the upper right of the wall, and then gives Raz a boost out - Coach, of course, isn't able to reach it himself before Cally slams the door behind Raz. You also may notice a hidden room behind one of the pictures - you can only get in there by returning later in the game when you have pyrokinesis, and once you do, you'll find a memory vault about his and Morry's relationship (which i've had concepted out for like a year and WILL draw eventually) and a bunch of photos that haven't been defaced (representing how Cally still has much stronger feelings for Oleander than he's admitted to, and is still carrying a torch even through the surface level of their breakup).
Next comes Sasha (top right picture in the first image), whose room is kind of a combo of his and Otto's labs, with a bunch of the props drawn from both locations - books, papers, inventions, computers, The Lamp, you know how it be. The floor also has a big glass swirl that gives you a peek at Otto's brain storage, which has a bunch of brains tumble by as you're in there (plus the occasional Faberge egg, for Foreshadowing - for even more of that, there's also the brain case on top of Sasha's exam table in the corner). The escape here escalates to a two-step process - Sasha re-teaches Raz psi-blast, the two of you combine forces to pry the door open with TK, and then the chattering teeth start spilling in and Raz has to fight his way out with psi-blast.
Third comes Milla - I swapped her with Lilli compared to the "canon" order first because I misremembered, but then I stuck with it because I felt like it worked better thematically. Anyway, Milla's room (seen bottom left) is a combo of her meditation chamber and Cassie's house back in the gulch, with pillows and tapestries and books everywhere, honeycomb wallpaper, and of course, Bees? Bees! They Have Chosen The Bees. You might notice the big scary beehive from the Forgetful Forest in the middle of the room; the escape here involves Milla re-teaching Raz levitation, the two of them pulling out the beehive with TK, using psi-blast to fend off the subsequent BEES, and then Raz drops in the hole and uses levitation to hover his way to safety. (At this point Cally is like KID C'MON and outright intercepts and dementistrates Milla rather than just keep her trapped.)
Last but hardly least is Lilli; she's in a combo of Truman's office and what she tells Raz looks a lot like her house/apartment - Cally's functionally kind of an uncle to her in this verse, so he's been particularly thoughtful in crafting a comfortable, familiar mind-prison for her. (The Extremely Subtle Foreshadowing also continues here, with envelopes and a hacksaw on the desk, the brain case on the shelf, and of course The Fuckoff Huge Crown Chandelier hanging above the desk.) The other wall has a bunch of family photos of Lilli and Truman, and one big pic of young Cally and Truman in the Gulch; Lilli re-teaches Raz pyro so he can burn that, and Enormous Mental Cally takes this as an opportunity to grab Raz much like in the original game.
Now we're at the point of the second image, and where things particularly divert from the original version of the level in my mind! Big Ol Cally drops Raz in a combat arena and he has to deal with a few waves of Censors and Doubts and Regrets - I haven't decided if this is the first time you encounter true Combat or if you have mini-waves throughout the level like in the "canon" version, but if it is your first combat I like the idea of Lilli being your "mission control" explaining the new enemies an dhow to beat them. Either way, Raz fights a couple waves while trying to convince Cally to give them information, he refuses, and when it looks like Raz is in a real tight spot he manages to dive off the arena deeper into Cally's subconscious.
This is where we start incorporating RoR stuff! Raz drops all the way to the little dollhouse representation of Cal's childhood home, goes in, sees a little Cassie-style paper projection of young Cal and overhears his parents having their Oh What Can We Possibly Do We Can't Handle This Child Anymore conversation. Paper Cal hides in a wardrobe, Raz follows, and this portals into this endless-seeming hospital hallway where dialog plays between li'l Cal and the doctors, revealing to Raz that they were going to lobotomize him for being psychic. (I think maybe you find your first accessible memory vault either here or in the path I talk about in a second; that one goes into how Cal got taken in by the psychic 7 and i also have that one concepted out please god give me time and energy to draw these soon). After this plays there's a cutscene where representations of the psychic 7 tear apart the hallway, and Raz falls into this paper representation of the Gulch. He follows a little path past some simple setpieces of things you'll see later in the game, talks to himself a bit like Wow This Is Just Like True Psychic Tales So Cool That Agent O'Pia Grew Up Here :)
Now this path leads past a little paper version of Lucy's hut (which Raz doesn't recognize for sure, which bugs him), and the path around THAT leads to a big winding path through a parted waterway (which Raz is Very Much Not Happy About, reestablishing the water curse - maybe there's a little cutscene where he sees the hand of Galochio much like in the first game at the beach). Raz nervously walks through, and dialogue plays between Cally and Mysterious Figures revealing Cal got caught undercover and was threatened into assisting with the Kidnap Truman plot (or rather, they threatened Cassie and Lillie and Oleander, which ended up being Much more effective than threatening his own life). At the end of the path Raz finds the base from RoR, and it's in there that he sees "Loboto" talking to the Shadowy Figure similar to canon and 1) learns whoever hired Loboto was a mole, and 2) sees the vision of Maligula when the figure reiterates his threat to Cal-slash-Cal's family. Vision-Maligula destroys the village, Raz snaps back to the real world, and There's Our Game!
if you've read this far you're a hero beyond compare here's the image descriptions for you
[Image 1 ID: Digital sketches of four boxlike rooms. The top left room is labeled "OLEANDER" and incorporates elements from Loboto's Lab in Psychonauts, including the jagged glass window, Mr. Pokeylope's terrarium, and a prototype brain tank sticking out of the floor. There are miscellaneous papers on the floor, and a brain tank blueprint on the wall. Various framed photos of Oleander are also on the wall, most of which have been scribbled over or otherwise defaced. There is a hatch high on one wall, and a secret room with a memory vault behind a pyro-able picture.
The top right room is labeled "SASHA" and resembles a combination of Sasha and Otto's labs, with a large bookshelf making up one wall covered in books, papers and gadgets, floating shelves on the other wall, as well as a desk with office chair, computer monitor and Tiffany lamp. Sasha's examination table is in a far corner, with Truman's brain case on top of it. The floor has a glass swirl revealing brains being transported similar to Otto's brain storage. There is a partially open sliding door on one wall where chattering teeth toys are spilling in.
The bottom left room is labeled "MILLA" and resembles a combination of Milla's meditation chamber and Cassie's home in the Gulch. The walls have a honeycomb pattern wallpaper and string lights, with an eye tapestry hanging on one wall. There are round lantern lights hanging from the ceiling, with bees flying overhead. The floor is a round conversation pit covered in pillows, throw rugs and books; in the center is a massive oozing beehive similar to the one in the Forgetful Forest.
The final, bottom right room is labeled "LILLI" and resembles Truman's office. There is a desk covered in envelopes and a hacksaw, with a desk chair behind it and two 60's style chairs in front. There are two shelves along the wall behind the desk, containing the brain case among other things, and the wall prominently displays the Psychonauts logo. A chandelier resembling the Maliks' crown is hanging from the ceiling above the desk. There is a couch and several plants against the opposite wall, and many family photos of Truman and Lilli on the wall perpendicular, with the largest (pyro-able) one being a picture of young Cally and Truman. End ID.]
[Image 2 ID: Digital sketches of three scenes in Cally's mental world. The first shows Raz (represented by the simple head-and-legs silhouette used in Peter Chan's concepts) diving off a disc-like combat arena (on which are several Censors, Doubts and Regrets) towards the dollhouse representing Cal's childhood home, which is floating in space. The second shows Raz in one of the dollhouse rooms with a paper-projection version of young Cal, with an arrow leading into a wardrobe, which portals into a long hospital hallway with a "NEUROLOGY" sign on the wall, eventually trailing off into nothing. The third shows Raz walking past Lucy's old hut in the Gulch, along a winding path through parted water, and ultimately to the Rhombus of Ruin base. End ID.]

Alma mater (Latin: alma mater,貝lit. 'nourishing mother'; pl.: almae matres) is an allegorical Latin phrase used to proclaim a school that a person has attended or, more usually, from which one has graduated. Alma mater is also a honorific title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele. Later, in Catholicism, it became a title of Mary, mother of Jesus.
The term entered academic use when the University of Bologna, Italy, founded in 1088 and world's oldest university in continuous operation, adopted the motto Alma Mater Studiorum ("nurturing mother of studies").

I was addicted to a new idea in class, which caused me to miss several important exam explanations.
Look, Jaime's dream is to become a dentist, one of the most brutal and terrifying professions in humanity (and even more terrifying is that this profession has a high income)
Jaime hates space. He has every reason to dislike space, but in reality, he hates space. But is there a possibility here that there are so many dental clinics on Earth that they may consider opening a dental clinic on an asteroid in outer space someday (perhaps a long, long time later, if Khaji da can make Jaime live that long)?
They will collect gold, minerals rich in rare elements, various galactic news, and IOUs. Khaji da will become his good helper, and Blue Beetle is the best candidate for this job.
Not all extraterrestrial creatures have teeth, but most of them have similar structures that need to be repaired and decorated. Jaime and Khaji sometimes need to search the entire Milky Way, even across several galaxies, to find suitable materials for dentures, or to find the customer who has owed them eighteen years of debt.
As you can see, this job is not actually about making money. Perhaps it's because of a love for life that Jaime came up with the idea of creating more fun. Jaime likes a smooth and ordinary family life, but over time, he may approach life with a more inclusive and open attitude. Miragro will distribute flyers from his brother's clinic among her Green Lantern colleagues
I no longer think of jaime in class. Every time that beautiful face comes to my mind, the brown eyed angel takes me away from reality. Similarly, I don't want Khaji anymore. I love them💙

Dentists always are mildly "off", due to the nature of the specialization. General practicioners i don't like either, once when i was a kid I had a very high fever & went to one & I promise that thru the whole talk she didn't look at me at all bc the last episode of a popular soap opera (Caminho das Índias) was playing on the tv to the side of my head, which I guess was kept there bc her patients were sorta lame & boring. I could have seizured to death in front of her & she would've said "just hold on, the show is almost done mmkay?". Some gynecologists are hell but some do have a special angel-like vibe different from other doctors. First I went to when I was 16 was nice, I liked his nurse as well. He put his hand over my forehead & asked "are you sexually active?" I had never discussed the matter with anyone but said "Yes". He nodded & said, "Then we must get you some HPV prevention". It's hard to explain, but there was something about his aura that I havent felt with any authority figure or professor or doctor since. Like I could've told him anything & he would've only smiled fondly & said "Well just remember to use a condom". It was the nicest experience I ever had with a doctor. Sadly I never went back bc he's too expensive

what are your iterations favorite meals? do any of them like spicy food? and who has the worst sweet tooth?
omg anon such a fun question!!!! i'm gonna answer for the dabi iterations only since there’s so many of them, but if you’re interested in my other iterations as well pls do not hesitate to send in another ask! <3
touya-nii (and, honestly, sd!nat touya, too): wagyu steak, of course, with steamed sweet potato and grilled asparagus. touya-nii is a notorious meat eater, and although he lectures his little sister on eating a balanced, colourful diet stuffed with a variety of fruits n veggies, he could definitely take a page or two out of his own book and eat a few more fruits n veggies, too (more than a spoonful of potatoes and three spears of asparagus, at least!). bmb dabi: ramen! any kind, from the cheap dried packages to the uber expensive artisan bowls tomura favours. tag dabi: karaage don. it’s cheap, it’s tasty, and it’s easy for him to make on his own. twin dabi: beef udon! hold the fishcakes, please. twin touya: penne bolognese! DA touya: savoury crepes! dumb expensive for a very small portion of food, but that doesn’t matter when you cry tears of pure platinum, now does it? 1950s dabi: a really, really good burger from his favourite hole-in-the-wall diner and fresh thick cut fries (with extra ketchup!). who likes spicy food? touya-nii loves spice like he’s got something to fucking prove. but he genuinely does enjoy it, and he enjoys it the most out of all of my dabis. twin touya, sd!nat touya, + dark academia touya can also handle spice fairly well and like a bit of kick with their meals. bmb dabi likes spice if it comes paired with copious amounts of sugar. who has the worst sweet tooth? bmb dabi BY FAR. he lives on a diet of sugar; he thrives on a diet of sugar. tomura has definitely had to drag him by the hair to the dentist for cavity fillings more than once. twin dabi also likes sugar, but not nearly to the extent and frequency bmb dabi does. bmb dabi’s sugar consumption is almost on the same level as flawless tomura’s—almost.

Natasha Thinks They Kissed. ft Kate and Yelena. Part 2.
*Natasha and Yelena enter the common room at Avengers Tower. Steve is in the kitchenette making a sandwich*
*Yelena muffled* fanks vor taking me tuv da dened.
Natasha: I can't understand you.
*Yelena takes the bloody gauze out of her mouth and puts it into Natasha's hand*: Thanks for taking me to the dentist.
Steve: I'm making sandwiches. Would either of you like one?
*Yelena heading towards the door*: No, I need to get going. Fanny and Lucky have a play date.
*Natasha watches as Yelena leaves*
Steve: Nat? Sandwi-
Natasha: Yelena and Kate kissed!
*Steve's eyebrows shoot up*
Natasha: They gave her laughing gas and she said it when she was all loopy.
*Steve excitedly*: No way! Give me the deets!!
Natasha: I don't have any deets! Because after, she whispered "Don't tell Natasha"
Steve: Why would she tell you not to tell yourself?
Natasha: She doesn't even remember that she told me. So now I know this secret that I'm not supposed to know, and she doesn't even know that I know, and why wouldn't she want me to know?! Can you believe that Yelena and Kate kissed and she didn't tell me?!
Steve: Okay, just calm down.
*Natasha glaring*: Never. Tell me to calm down.
Steve: I'm sorry. Maybe they didn't kiss. You said she was on some gas. Maybe she didn't know what she was saying.
Natasha: She was saying some weird stuff. She thought her thumb was missing.
Steve: Was it?
Natasha: ...No.
Steve: Look, I'm just saying maybe she didn't want to tell you because she thought you'd react like this. Which is-? Why? I thought you liked Kate.
Natasha: I do like Kate. She's smart and strong. A quick learner. A good leader to her young team. But she's also arrogant, and overconfident, and reckless. She's basically half mini you, half mini Clint, and half mini Tony.
*Steve confused*: That's three ha-
Natasha: I can't have my sister dating any amount of Tony. God no. Clint is the most reckless human being I know. And you...
*Steve sheepishly looks down*
Natasha: I'm just trying to protect my sister from getting hurt. Kate will either break up with her because she can't sit still for longer than 2 seconds, or she'll get killed in the line of duty and leave Yelena that way.
Steve: They know the risks. And I don't think you're giving Kate enough credit. You said it yourself. She's a good kid. And I think she's good for your sister.
*Natasha sighs* Maybe you're right.
*Steve smiling*: That's the spirit!
*Steve hands her a sandwich* Now can you help me pass all these out?
*Natasha sees 15 sandwiches on the counter behind him*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Kate in the training room, cleaning up after a workout, singing to herself. Natasha walks up behind her*
Natasha: Kate Bishop!
*Kate screams and jumps in the air*
Natasha: Why so jumpy?
*Kate catching her breath*: Because you Black Widowed me!
Natasha: Kate, if I wanted you dead-
Kate: I'd be dead already. I know. You guys say that a lot. So how did Yelena do at the dentist?
Natasha: Like you'd expect.
Kate: She bit him?
Natasha: Four times. He may lose part of his finger. He gave her some of that laughing gas. And she started saying some pretty weird stuff.
Kate: Oh yeah? Like what?
Natasha: She thought her thumb was missing.
*Kate concerned*: Was it??
Natasha: No! God, you Captain America types. I think Sam is the only one who-
*Kate confused*: I'm Hawkeye.
Natasha: No. Kate, no. Just-she said you and her kissed.
*Kate freezes and her eyes get wide. Natasha stares her down. Kate starts running away. Natasha gives chase and tackles Kate. She pins her down so that she can't move. All of a sudden their roles are flipped as Nat finds herself on her back with Kate straddling her. Kate had just pulled a perfect Black Widow move on the Black Widow.*
Natasha: Where did you learn how to do that?!
*Kate, eyes sparkling*: I learned from the best.
*Natasha relaxes and Kate gives her a hand up*
Natasha: Why didn't you tell me that you two kissed?
Kate: She made me promise not to speak of it to you. And here I am speaking of it to you!
*Yelena from the doorway, angrily*: Oh thanks for keeping your promise, Kate Bishop!
Natasha: She didn't tell me. You did.
Yelena: I never said-
Natasha: Yes you did! At the dentist. We're sisters. We tell each other everything. Why didn't you tell me this?
Yelena: Because I knew you would go after Kate!
Natasha: You didn't know-
Yelena: Then what was this?! huh?!
*The sisters start arguing in Russian*
Kate: Did you just call me a dog?
Natasha: No, I said you were like a dog-
*Kate joins in the argument with the two sisters and the three of them fight for a while*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Kate, Natasha, and Yelena on three chairs stuck together with a putty arrow and with duct tape.*
*Clint securing the duct tape*
Steve: Okay. Now I want you ladies to talk this through like adults. We'll be back in 15 to check on you.
*Clint and Steve leave*
Natasha: Why did you tell them where the duct tape was?
Kate: I don't know! I was trying to be helpful!
Yelena: Yeah, you helped them alright.
Natasha: It's fine. Pretty soon we'll be out of here. I can turn my back and then you two can resume kissing behind it!
*Yelena sighs*: Natasha, it is not like that. I am confused about my romantic feelings and Kate was helping me out. I didn't tell you because...I wasn't ready and I asked Kate not to say anything.
*Natasha*: Sestra, I will always love and accept you no matter what. But one thing, Kate?
Kate: If I hurt Yelena, you'll kill me?
Natasha: No. If you hurt Yelena, she'll kill you herself. I just want you to look out for her.
Kate: I'll always have her back. Every Black Widow needs a Hawkeye, right?
*Starlord runs into the training room*: Where's my banjo?!
Kate: Why do you have a banjo in the training room?
Peter: No time! There's a hot girl on another planet who I just found out really likes banjo music!
*He runs out with his banjo, leaving the girls tied up*

writing all my shitty thoughts and headcanons about the mothers ok ready set go
Tumblr media
okay okay so first up is marnie head, she had butthead real young like 16-17 and i think of her as a bloberta type of mom, being there for her kid but also doing the bare minimum of care, no real toys, just junk that she stored away in an unlocked closet for lil ol’ butthead to find. at first she wants to be a decent mother for butthead but when she realizes that he has behavioral problems she just grows tired and really starts wanting him gone. by the time hes able to make his own food (aka make a bowl of cereal maybe toast if hes lucky) she becomes almost nonexistent in his life. wallowing in her own self hatred for being a shit mother but not wanting the kid to begin with takes a toll on her so she starts drinking and using the drugs o.O the only times she’s at home or actively interacting with him is when shes hung over, has some men over, or is taking butthead to da doctor n dentist. butthead doesn’t remember her fondly at all but still wishes she would come back, he holds on to the slight chance that she still loved him despite everything. she doesn’t lol she took her prostitution money and left.
oh my fucking god it didnt save my shirley thoughts son of a bitch im going to kill someone
uh shirley had beavis when she was an old hag (36) and didnt want the damn kid so she literally didnt give him a first name, she does come around to being a mom, just not a good one lol. she is very hands off when it comes to parenting but when she does have to get involved shes very mean and yells and hits the poor boy :[ she is a prostitute but also does odd jobs when she can, she drinks and does the cocaína which she tried to stop using but her clients like it when shes fucked up and its rude to turn it down. she helped marnie with money and let her stay with her when she had butthead. i dont remember anything else from when i first typed it out diarrhea cha cha cha

How tall are you: Short
Piercings: Nope. I used to have my ears pierced but they closed back up because I could never be bothered with earrings!

Last thing you ate: Fajita Nachos
Favorite color: Purple
Current obsession: @seasaltandcopper pitched an au to me this morning that we've been plotting out all day, where Mal is a minor god and Nate is a human some desperate starving villagers tried to sacrifice to bring fortune back to their village. Nate prayed for help, and it's actually his desperation Mal hears and responds to. He rescues Nate, slow burn idiots to lovers, and they end up having to figure out whats "killing" the other gods and why all the bigger, widely worshiped ones have stopped answering prayers.
Unrelated obsession: I mean. FFXIV. LOL.

who would you say is your favorite wrestler? also please keep filling my dash with these big hot women wrestlers thank you
honestly i think it's kris statlander (which means there will be plenty of big hot woman posting). she's not even been medically cleared for in-ring activity the entire time i've started watching AEW but i've been going nuts on youtube and stream sites watching basically every statlander match that i can just because she's so strong and cool and fun and her movement is so expressive and a joy just to watch and her fits are to die for and on top of everything else her technique is just absolutely killer. i think if she so much as looked at me i would explode with a crunchy poor stock explosion effect, for dyke reasons. it's funny because it's like, i miss her but haven't even seen her live on television! i miss her without even knowing her! anguish. agony. i've also been watching a lot of thunder rosa matches just because she's the other really crucial wrestler out on indefinite injury leave and my god she's a blast. goes apeshit. again, just so much fun to watch; like statlander she just has that je ne sais quoi where she could be doing the most basic possible moves in the ring but it's still compelling because she's the one doing them, and she's just got it. this is probably just a form of confirmation bias but digging into the backlogs for these two wrestlers, it really does throw into relief how badly the women's division is limping with all the injuries. but maybe if kris wasn't doing the double-suplexes that made people fall in love with her, her knees wouldn't have exploded so it's like...man.
as far as wrestlers that are Actually Wrestling Right Now: i do love that jamie hayter and she's basically carrying the women's division of AEW singlehandedly on her shoulders rn because the whole outcasts thing is just foul but takes up so much oxygen; mox for his rabid desire to bleed and fluid-bond with every man who enters his field of vision; bandido is a lucha who i've only seen in the ring once, against bryan danielson, but who was AMAZING and i want to see him and his fucking execution-shot gesture running attack over and over; MJF for being literally perfect in every way as a champion heel to the point where i genuinely hope darby, sammy, and jungleboy all fail to take the title because i just think it would be a huge downgrade in entertainment value; samoa joe for being DA KING OF TELEVISION; stu grayson for being apeshit (and dark order in general is always such an entertaining stable); brian cage for being probably the epitome to me of the ferocious kind of Terminator heel who just destroys people, like the motherfucker looks like a miniboss in a batman video game; keith lee is a wrestler that i fell in love with basically immediately when he showed up to diss chris jericho and then i fell in double-love with him in the ring when he gave chris a fuckin polite little kissaroo on the forehead between blows.
honorable mentions go to Wardlow who i hated at first but who has sucked so much that he has endeared me. getting his car broken into. losing the title immediately. my ex-husband pointed out that he's a hired goon without a boss, like a stray cat, and it broke my little heart. the poor guy is acting out! he's troubled! there's also a lot of women wrestlers that i would love to see a lot more of like willow nightingale and nyla rose but either they're all wrestling on friday nights (i only really watch wednesdays) or the outcasts' feud with jamie hayter is really just burying opportunities for Literally Anything Else to happen in the women's division. jade cargill is an absolute beast but she has literally run out of people to fight so i hope taya valkyrie or something finally takes the belt away (as it's looking like) so that jade can do something else beside mulch regional guests. and yeah i think i do like britt baker as a wrestler, the dentist gimmick is good to me, she's good in the ring, and i know the legit feud with thunder rosa is messy and shitty but whatever, i like her matches (including THE hardcore cage match WITH thunder rosa pre-feud). honestly when rosa comes back, maybe they patch things up face-to-face or maybe they don't, but in either case i'm expecting a fucking barnburner of a grudge match that'll make the hardcore cage match look like a kindergarten classroom

Brazilian rock icon Rita Lee dies aged 75
Brazil’s president hails Lee, a singer central to the politically charged Tropicalia movement, as ‘ahead of her time’.
Tumblr media
9 May 2023
Renowned Brazilian rock singer and songwriter Rita Lee, an icon of the Tropicalia artistic movement, has died after a two-year battle with lung cancer, her family said on Tuesday. She was 75.
“We announce the death of Rita Lee at her home in Sao Paulo late last night, surrounded by all the love of her family, as she always wanted,” a statement posted on the singer’s Instagram account said, inviting the public to her wake on Wednesday.
Her death brought an outpouring of tributes from artists, politicians and celebrities who cheered her trailblazing role in Brazilian rock.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called her “an artist ahead of her time” and “one of the greatest and most brilliant names in Brazilian music”.
Rita Lee Jones de Carvalho was born on December 31, 1947, in Sao Paulo, to a dentist of United States descent and a Brazilian pianist with Italian ancestry.
She was central to Brazil’s politically charged Tropicalia movement, which emerged in defiance of a military dictatorship starting in 1964, and her work at the time was often censored.
Tumblr media
With more than 20 albums recorded and 55 million records sold, her songs touched on issues related to feminism and sex in an era when such issues were taboo.
Although she regarded her voice as “weak and a little out of tune”, like a sparrow’s, she enjoyed a long run of top-selling albums, including Rita Lee and Rita Lee & Roberto de Carvalho, and dozens of her songs were featured in widely watched telenovelas in Latin America.
The behemoth television network Globo used her rendition of the song Poison Weed (Poison Ivy) in three of its programmes.
“I was not born to get married and wash underwear. I wanted the same freedom as the boys who used to play in the street with their toy cars,” she told the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone in 2008.
“When I got into music, I realised that the ‘machos’ reigned absolute, even more in rock music. ‘Wow’, I said, ‘this is where I’m going to let my fangs out and, literally, give them a hard time.’”
Tumblr media
Lee gained fame in the 1960s with the band Os Mutantes, formed with Arnaldo Baptista and Sergio Dias, playing alongside legends of Brazilian pop music such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso to international acclaim.
Kicked out of Os Mutantes by Baptista, whom she had been married to, for supposed artistic differences, Lee played with the band Tutti Frutti in the 1970s.
That band broke up towards the end of the decade, leading Lee to start her solo career, and she played often with her husband Roberto de Carvalho, the father of her three children.
Eventually, her popularity extended beyond Brazil.
She performed in Portugal, England, Spain, France and Germany. In 1988, the British newspaper Daily Mirror revealed that then-Prince Charles admired her song Lanca Perfume and considered her his favourite singer.
She won a Latin Grammy in the Best Portuguese Language Album category in 2001, for her album, 3001.
Lee was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 and had been undergoing treatment since then.

Why James Amber should not have been a DA in Before the Storm
Okay. Thanks to a bit of a back-and-forth discussion with my good friend @opossum-knight I've been drawn back into the BtS silliness and how Deck Nine failed to think things through. This time I'm going to focus on a different failing, and that is James Amber's job choice and why it fails to make sense.
For those who've not played, be aware I am going to be revealing several plot points here so if you want to play the game without knowing some reveals... skip this commentary. But the game's been out more than long enough that I don't think it much of a problem.
Okay. So we have two separate depictions of the Amber family in LiS and BtS. In LiS we just know that according to Chloe, Rachel's parents have bought into the assumption Rachel ran away from home and no longer are looking for her. She vanished a couple months before the school year ended, and there was nothing to suggest Rachel finished the school year early.

In fact, Rachel's school record has this in the police report at the very bottom: "…but once again Arcadia Bay covers up another secret." (In short, the police are covering up missing persons of women who "vanish" or commit suicide after Mark Jefferson and Nathan Prescott are done with them.) However, it was Rachel's interest in international law which likely had them decide Rachel's dad was a lawyer... and then had him be a DA.
The problem with this is if the daughter of a district attorney had gone missing, the police would not just handwave this away. Further, it is most unlikely Jefferson would have dared gone after her, just in case his patronage with Sean Prescott was not enough to protect him. It also fails to explain why Rachel's parents are still searching for her in the William Lives timeline, where Rachel and alt-Chloe never ended up hanging out.
(Now there is a simple explanation as to why Rachel's parents would be disinterested in looking for their daughter, and that's in the prime timeline Rachel's bisexuality is established and visible. It is entirely possible that Rachel is closeted in the William Lives timeline (or even that Rachel is unaware she's bi). Or in other words, Rachel's parents were possibly homophobic and wanted nothing to do with a gay daughter.)
If you were sticking with the Damon Merrick storyline (which honestly is not a very good story) then having James Amber be a pharmacist, doctor, or dentist still allows the drug trade to be part of the story - with Merrick pushing Amber to give him prescription drugs to resell. His going after Rachel's bio mom is to give James Amber extra "incentive" to give him the prescriptions or drugs he is demanding, even as James Amber resists for any of a number of reasons. (Maybe he is actually legit and talking to the cops.)
Tumblr media
But as I've mentioned before, there is a far better way to craft a BtS story in-canon, and that's Chloe running away, coming across Rachel and her parents camping, and starts a romance with Rachel while her homophobic father ends up calling the cops to deal with the runaway while not realizing they're moving to the same town Chloe lives.
No matter how we crafted BtS, however, the simple truth is this: there is little reason to have Rachel's dad be a District Attorney, and plenty of reason why this fails given the existing canon. The only way BtS can exist in its current form is if BtS is in fact an alternate reality setting, and that the police keep actively searching for the daughter of the District Attorney (and perhaps even catch Jefferson before the start of the events of Life is Strange).
