#is someone trying to drown my goat?

[heartfullofleeches]

What would happen if fast food reader tried to quit?

"I quit!"

Fourty minutes in - that's a new record. You're in the middle of a transition with a customer when the newest in a line of new hires comes storming from the back, apron and badge on hand.

"In the single hour I've worked here I've been yelled at till my ears bled, pelted with plastic balls, saw my reflection drown itself in the toilets, and had my wallet and keys stolen."

"I'd say you had an okay start...." You pause for a moment, centered on the task at hand. ".....So will that be cash or card?"

Your coworker stares at you like you've grown antlers which probably wouldn't be the weirdest thing they've seen, but still up there in rankings.

"You're staying?!"

"I can't quit."

Pity flashes briefly in their eyes. "Being jobless is better than whatever this is, but I'm sure there's something else out there."

"You don't understand. I literally can't quit."

Your ex-coworker scoffs. "I know the job market is pretty rough these days, but come on..."

Sighing heavily, you carefully remove your apron- folding and setting at atop the counter along with your hat and badge. Glancing apologetically at the customer, you mutter.

"I quit."

Really, it only took the first syllable for what happened next, but it felt weird not to finish the sentence.

The entrace doors swing to a loud shut. Music playing over the speakers descends into static. Caution tape peals and tears from the walls as management's door pries it from position. Darkness oozes from the cracks as a body presses against the frame. A hand reaches out - pointing behind you.

"So!"

Your ex-coworker and the customer scream. You look over your shoulder at your manager's grinning face as they grip your shoulders.

"Please don't touch me."

Your manager laughs. "Oh, you and your silly jokes. So, I hear someone isn't having the best time. Your little friend is free to go, but you are a valued member of our team, Y/n. Anything we can do to make you stay?"

"No."

Your manager hands their head in sadness, immediately perking back up as they remove their touch from your shoulders. "I see..... Well! We'll all miss you dearly, but we respect your decision. Allow us to give you a portion of your severance in hand as thanks for your service."

"Please don't."

"Lambchop!"

The lights flicker as the freezer door slams into the adjacent wall. They continue to flicker with every heavy click of hooves on titled floors. The hulking figure ducks beneath menu signs, narrowly missing its curving horns getting stuck as it rises to full high. The reds of it beady eyes cast you in eerie glow as it stares - pupils shrunk as it turns. It seems to blink away tears as it snorts.

In a flash, the store mascot picks your ex-coworker by the throat and slams them to down on the counter. It reaches for its belt, sorting the sharpest cleaver of its artillery and sporting it against its prey's neck. Your coworker shrieks and flails, ceasing all movement as warm blood runs down their neck. As your eyes meet, you remain perfectly calm - brows raised in a sort of "I told you so look".

They pathetically beat at the goat demon's arm. "What the fuck.... what the fuck?!"

Your manager clicks their tongue. "I do apologize, but it's in their contract. Money is important, but we value something more here. As payment for self-termination from our team, Y/n here is to receive the beating hearts of everyone in the building in loo of breaking our own unless... they've changed their mind."

You shrug. "Long as you're still cool with my taking cash from the registers."

"Wonderful! Lambchop, could you please let the spoiled meat go? I'm afraid they won't be any good trying to posion our dear Y/n like that and I doubt they'll even make it out of the parking lot."

Your coworker scrambles for the door as soon as they're freed. Their blood, which you refuse to clean, paints the front door seconds later. Your manager sighs.

"Now that that's out of the way, please see to comforting Lambchop. You know how they get when you threaten to leave."

You look over at the mascot would bleats softly as they knock their head gently against the side of yours. You pet their horns as you throw your hat back on.

"Come on, Choppy. You can feed me fries in the breakroom."

Lambchop throws you over their shoulder and heads for the back as your manager takes their leave as well - leaving the customer alone in the main lobby.

"They... never gave back my card."

Disclaimer: This challenge is a 2.0 version (or more? I don’t know) of the Black Widow Challenge that already exists but with different rules & goal. I mostly wrote this for myself but I figured: why not share it out there if anyone wants to try it out. It's totally possible something like this already exists so I'm not claiming originality for the idea of making a challenge out of killing Sims 😈

Your Sim wants to be rich, live a simple life but most of all, has had enough of living in their small apartment while doing odd jobs going nowhere. And what’s better than marrying someone rich? The only problem to this answer: your Sim is not really into the whole marriage thing. Luckily, accidents happen.

Your Sim has to go from a life of misery in a San Myshuno apartment to living in the house of their dreams in the world of their choice. Your Sim has to marry many Sims (especially the wealthy!) and each spouse has to experience a different death.

MAKING YOUR SIM -

Your Sim can have any trait you want, but they must have at least ONE negative trait of your choosing.

Pick an ASPIRATION among the ones below and try to complete it before becoming an elder:

- Serial Romantic - Villainous Valentine - Mansion Baron - Fabulously Rich

THE APARTMENT -

Pick an apartment among the less expensive in the Spice Market district of San Myshuno: Culpepper House, Jasmine Suites or build your own on the Old Salt House lot.

After moving in use the cheat code MONEY and give yourself a budget of 25 000 to decorate your apartment the way you want.

WORKING -

You should have a Level 1 job or something part-time. The goal is not to develop any sort of career, if your Sim obtains a promotion you immediately quit and start a new job. Once you get married, you’re done working for the rest of your Sim life!

You can do any sort of activity that brings you some money such as writing books, knitting, painting, programming OR even become a landlord. You simply can not have a job / develop any sort of career. 

GETTING MARRIED -

Before being able to marry any of your spouse you should check a few things off of your list:

- Have Love and Friendship above 50 (easy!) - You must have the status of boyfriend/girlfriend. - You must have two dates: one at your home and one on a community lot. - Go on a “weekend getaway” aka spend a romantic night out in another world (on a rental lot).

DYING SPOUSE - 

There are around 34 Deaths in the Sims 4. Each of your spouse needs to experience a different kind of death. Because of this, you can do this challenge two ways:

- One Sim: Do as many deaths as possible in your lifespan. You can use potions to live longer if you want to do ALL deaths. - Legacy style: have children carry on the death of the spouses once your own Sim dies of old age. 

YOU CAN - 

- Have as many children as you want or not have any at all with your spouses, you can adopt, or have zero children. The choice is yours! - Have pets, horses, goats, and whatever animal you wish to! 

This is a list of all the possible deaths with each corresponding pack. Some are not on the list such as the ones from the High School Years pack since these deaths only work on teenagers.

Hunger Fire Old Age Overexertion Electrocution Anger Embarrassment Laughter Cow Plant Drowning Meteor Steam - Spa Day Pufferfish poisoning - City Life Sun - Vampires Poison -  Jungle Adventure Rodent Fever - My First Pet Mother Plant - Strangerville Overheating - Seasons Freezing - Seasons Lightning - Seasons Flowers - Seasons Fish Pond -  Get Famous Sharks- Island Living Research Machines -  Discover University Magic Overload - Realm of Magic Murphy Bed - Tiny Living Flies - Eco Lifestyle Beetle Juice - Eco Lifestyle Vending Machine - Snowy Escape Fall - Snowy Escape Killer Chicken - Cottage Living Killer Rabbit - Cottage Living Mold - For Rent Wishing Well -  Romantic Gardens

STEP 1

Life in San Myshuno! Your apartment, the odd jobs, the dates until you finally meet THE ONE, get engaged and finally GET MARRIED.

STEP 2

The married life! Move in with your spouse, get a lover on the side while waiting for you spouse to die. Once you’ve reached 50 in love and friendship with your lover you can actively help with your spouse’s death.

STEP 3

Marriage number 2! Bulldoze your first’s spouse house and get the cash, move in with your second spouse, wait or help for their death once you’ve gotten married (no need to have a lover this time unless you want to).

STEP 4

The Dream House! Bulldoze your second spouse’s home once they die, get the cash and move to the world of your choosing and build the house of your dreams! Keep on marrying sims, nudge their death, cash the money and live your best life.

No Children (The Mountain Goats)

I hope that our few remaining friends/Give up on trying to save us/I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot/To piss off the dumb few that forgave us/I hope the fences we mended/Fall down beneath their own weight/And I hope we hang on past the last exit/I hope it’s already too late

I hope it stays dark forever/I hope the worst isn't over....And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out/You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning/There is no sign of land/You are coming down with me/Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die/I hope we both die

"The song of all time. It's the soundtrack for countless bad vibes ships (affectionate). The phrase 'hand in unlovable hand' has immutably altered the brain chemistry of thousands with its underlying sentiment and launched a hundred accompanying memes. 'I hope you die, I hope we both die' crams such incredible rawness and depth of feeling into all of nine words. It also makes for a great singalong."

"I need to leave. I need to LEAVE. I need to get out of this situation and I'd hope that if i found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out of my way. I need to leave. Please. Let me out. HAND IN UN FUCKING LOVABLE HAND"

"Just. Man. These two are so broken. They want to be in love. They aren't. They hate each other so much. They are the only ones who understand each other. They wish that they weren't so close but all they can taste is ash when they think of leaving each other. Just, mutually assured destruction tastes so sweet when you can taste the blood on their tongue."

"It's No Children."

"goddd man this song is about being an irredeemable freak with another irredeemable freak and i think that's beautiful. there's something so fuck you up ish about the person you hate and despise the most in the world also being the only other person who is like you, who gets you. im going down, but youre going down too. we can be terrible people together... even if i hate you... even if you're the fucking worst. because we don't have anyone else. there's always a sort of comfort in knowing that there's someone out there who's as terrible as you are, and maybe you only hate them because you see yourself in them a little, too. anyway clay and bloberta from moral orel"

"The sheer emotion packed into the way it’s sung, the lyrics themselves, all of it just screams ‘clinging desperately to someone you hate because you don’t have anyone else and you burned those bridges yourself’ and I find that painfully relatable"

"It's a song about both virulent self-hatred and virulent hatred of someone else and yet you see yourself intertwined with that hated person forever."

Poll runner: Do I even have to add anything? This was the tournament's most submitted song.

Agree to Stay (Liquido)

You held my hand, I slipped away/We'd sleep beneath the stars/How I hate being scared/The more I think the more I do. Still anything reminds me of yo/I smell your hair/I hear your voice/I feel you.

"Okay look for this one I have to give a little more context but... so worth it. There's this fic. Absolutely HEARTBREAKING angsty fic featuring Major Character Death that has been living rent free in my brain since I first read it. And it's UNCANNY how well the lyrics of this song fit that fic and they just make each other's effect SO MUCH WORSE (affectionate). OKAY SO. The fic. The main characters (two brothers) have been kidnapped and one has been poisoned in order to extort information from the other (which he doesn't have). The fic follows them as one gets increasingly sicker and the other increasingly worried and scared ("How I hate being scared, the more I think the more I do"). They are kept in a windowless room and they talk about how they miss the sun and how they'd sit outside in the rain and have huge windows if they ever get out ("A brick of light reveals the day", "We'd sleep beneath the stars"). They reminisce about their childhood, how they would hide from monsters in their pillow forts and now the monsters have become real ("I wish we knew a place to play, where no one could find us"). The sick one keeps trying really hard to reassure the other, even as they lose hope ("you lied to me the other day, don't keep it all inside"), the other is really scared they won't get out in time, BUT THEN when they realise the sick one hasn't got long left, his brother starts telling HIM all the reassuring lies he's been told the days before, and the LAST WORDS the sick one says as he dies, his brother holding his hand ("You held my hand, I slipped away"), are "I'm really scared, brother" ( AGAIN "How I hate being scared", but this time UNO REVERSE). Second half of the fic deals with the surviving brother trying to cope with the loss as he's eventually rescued, just a bit too late. ("How I wish I was free, the more I think the more I do. Still anything reminds me of you. I smell your hair, I hear your voice, I feel you.") JUST. WHY DO YOU HURT ME IN THIS WAY. (I made a podfic of that fic and used this song as Intro/Outro music because FUCK if I have to suffer like this so does everyone else)"

Demon brothers as Sir Chloe songs

Sir Chloe has been my favorite music artist for a year now, but I've also been on more of a listening streak. So... the Obey Me! demons brothers as Sir Chloe songs!

(Warning: Spoilers in Belphie's explanation)

Lucifer

Leash - I Am The Dog album

I was a bit torn on this one, but I think Leash suits Lucifer quite well. Centered around feeling in control, with mentions of sinning, it definitely gives Lucifer towards MC vibes.

"Pretty shiny, newcomer In the corner shaking off the water"

"My home, a place above the sinkhole I know, my only love is control"

Sinner in a pool, it's a bitter blue I'm nobody's you"

Mammon

Center - I Am The Dog album

This one was a bit easier, since there are only so many songs from SC that aren't super angsty, lmao. Center is focused on, well, an obsession with someone, not being able to control your desire to be with them. Lots of themes of impulsiveness and attachment - both things that scream Mammon.

"Thought I was patient, but I bit right through I could never get enough of you"

"I like a challenge when the prize is you Try my hardest if you ask me to"

"Itching for a fix Habit I'll never kick"

Leviathan

Hooves - I Am The Dog album

Not as confident with this one, but with Hooves centering around themes of being different, I think it suits our introverted demon well.

"At the end of your pack, I know Can I offer a drag?"

"I don't want to hold hands, I don't want to hold hands You've been chewing my hair over and over again"

"Eyes like a goat Blinking sideways at the show"

Satan

Wrath - Party Favors EP

Daddy's Car - I Am The Dog album

I couldn't just choose one for this guy, partially because these two songs are what inspired me to make this post. Wrath is pretty self explanatory - centered around failing to suppress anger. Daddy's Car, however, is harder to explain but gives very strong Satan vibes. Basically trying to help someone with daddy issues. More MC -> Satan rather than vise versa.

"I, I took a bath Couldn't drown my wrath It's alright to be mad"

"Lock on the door, holes in the wall I wasn't there, but I know it's my fault So watch me come apart"

"It was haunted, I was asked to leave it Politely, a warning"

"See your glower through the rosy lighting I can see the numbers in the air"

"And I'll drive with no headlights this time You're my baby forever even when you're not mine"

Asmodeus

Company - single

This one was probably the easiest. Centered around a longing desire for someone - and their company. This desire can easily be interpreted as lust.

"Shadows in my room And they're all in the shape of you Give me a sign to Do what I wanna do"

"You gotta ask me for it 'Cause I don't know what I don't know I wanna hear you want it I wanna hear you ask for more"

"Shadows in my room But I don't take my eyes off you"

Beelzebub

Walk You Home - single

This one was by far the hardest, but I think Walk You Home takes after Beel's vibes of helping you no matter what. He's just a sweet guy, and I think this song reflects that.

He could also be good for Center, since that song has a lot of lollipop themes.

"Don't know your name yet But your head's still resting on my arm Subway, fly by On the green line, no one does you harm"

"Just a pretty girl with a shot glass In your Sunday dress and coat I found you in the bathroom like that Help you up and say hello"

"I've been around the block And I see you cry a lot Can I walk you home"

Belphegor

I Am The Dog - I Am The Dog album

This one was also pretty hard, but I decided on I Am The Dog mainly because of Belphie's trauma with Lillith and, obviously, the murder that lead to. While I'm not totally confident on this one, I think they do share some similar themes.

"Head underwater Stones on my back I didn't do well, but I still tried my best"

"I am the dog under your couch Gnashing teeth and open mouth"

"Head underwater Hand in a fist Hard to describe something I'll never miss"

And that's all! Thank you for reading, and maybe check out Sir Chloe's music if you haven't because it's amazing!!

If you're taking requests - 12 “I’d give up anything for you.” with the plunderbunnies mayhaps? 👉👈

But how far would you go for him? 

This was a question that had always plagued her thoughts even since they were just boyfriend and girlfriend. This was a question that had reared its head since that terrible night on Flotsam.

How far would you go for him?

He would do anything for her. Sure,he always had a quip or an answer (even if it wasn’t always the right one) no matter the situation. But if Elaine asked, and she knew it was asking a lot, he could and would do what she asked, even something such as to bite his tongue. He did so for her parents, for delegates, and renowned pirates. She knew he wasn’t exactly a fan of staying quiet, but he would if she asked, and afterwards, he would unleash every single thought to her in a nearly comedic rant just to get it off his chest.

So when Elaine saw his jaw was clenched shut as he stared at the woman, undoubtedly biting every and all words for her, she knew something was wrong. Something different than usual.

And that question popped up again in her head.

How far would you go for him?

“I seriously don’t get it.” The woman said, swirling her drink while having a condescending smirk. “If you ask me, this thing is… beneath you? Then again, I still think no man is good for you.”

The woman making Guybrush the butt of all her jokes was someone Elaine once called a friend in her youth, someone she hadn’t seen in years since even before Guybrush washed ashore. It was naive, but Elaine had hoped that, much like Carla or Odina or even Kate Capsize, they could be friends… 

Instead, he was the focus of both being entirely ignored and the ridicule, and Elaine stood in silence.

“I mean, really Elaine. Him?” The woman looked bewildered, poking a sharp finger at his chest. “Look at him, he’s just a pitiful nothing. You deserve someone who can go at your speed, not make you slow down to baby this… this… baby.”

She could hear him taking a sharp breath, giving honestly a weak and obviously strained scoff to try and not let it get to him. Guybrush, who was fighting the words at the tip of his tongue, opted to take a sip from the much needed grog in hopes to drown it. 

“He’s not…” Elaine sighed. “You don’t know him–”

“I don’t want to know him. Honestly, I don’t get it. He’s so… ugh. C’mon, Elaine. Ditch him and lets start our own crew. WIthout…” she gestured at Guybrush, crossing her arms and making a disgusted face, “....this total nonsense. Plus, what has he done that you haven’t cleaned up?”

Guybrush is known for many things - his absurd name, his uncanny breathing ability, his skill with the blade, and that famous and frightful wit of his. He is someone who will take the term ‘make lemon out of lemonade’ while in an abandoned carriage with two goats and coconut and somehow make it work. But if there was one thing that he was especially known for, it was his sense of loyalty which he so rarely gave to others. That when push came to shove, he was someone that could be relied on when needed most.

And Elaine couldn’t deny that in the slightest, especially after their ordeals with La Esponja Grande. He went through literal death and life for her.

How far would she go for him?

“I haven’t done such a thing.” Elaine said, trying to ease the overwhelming tension. “Not in years. Guybrush is more than capable and reliable–”

“Hmm… I doubt that.” She looked at Guybrush. “Look at him, he just screams ‘incapable’ and ‘stupid’ and–”

“Okay.” Guybrush slammed his cup down. “Okay! I get it! You don’t like me! Your subtlety is that of a brick through a freakin’ window!”

“Oh good! You’re not ENTIRELY stupid! Now you know you should leave!” She grinned, mocking him. 

“Now hold on–” Elaine tried stepping in.

“What is your problem with me?!” Guybrush’s hands were shaking. He was speaking up, true, but he was still holding back a true and proper verbal lashing.

“My problem is that you managed to take the strongest woman in the Caribbean and made her domestic. My problem is that you managed to lower everyone on Melee’s and the entire Caribbean IQ to that of a pastry chef. My problem is YOU.” She stepped closer and jabbed a sharp and aggressive finger against his chest. “Do us all a favor and head back to the Crossroads and this time stay there away from all of us! You are a blight to every pirate!”

Guybrush, for the first time, was at a loss for words. No one, aside from LeChuck himself, ever uttered such a thing to him. And he truly did not know what to say. He momentarily glanced at Elaine and then to the floor, undoubtedly conflicted between speaking up for himself and respecting his wife’s request.

He proved time and time again he would go through the ends of the Earth for her… do something. A small voice shouted in Elaine’s head. Do something! The man had died after risking everything to save both her and the Caribbean and somehow, someway, found the means to come back, still save everyone and even resurrect himself.

Do something!

“That’s enough.” Elaine snapped. “You’ve said your unwanted piece and now you may leave.”

“What?” The woman looked at her stunned. “Elaine, c’mon, you’re not–”

“I am serious. He may not be up to par for you or my bloody parents or anyone else in this world, but he is so much more to me. He is my world, and that, at the end of the day, is all that matters. So unless you apologize, and you and I both know you won’t, you may leave. The door is over there.”

“It was just a joke, relax–”

“That man you’ve belittled for your entertainment is my husband.” She continued, stepping closer to the woman and forcing her to back away from Guybrush. “He had given up so much for me time and time and time again and I’m not about to let that be a one sided gesture. And I was stupid enough to stand up for him sooner. Especially from the likes of you.” 

“Why though? Why him?!”

“Because I’d give up anything for him!”

The woman stood stunned, looking what could be assumed as hurt before she pouted, tossed the cup to the ground and stormed out, slamming the door in the process.

Elaine, still fuming herself, quickly looked at Guybrush, seeing him shake just slightly and rushed over, taking a hold of his hand. 

“I’m so sorry.” She began to apologize. “I’m so sorry for having you put up with that. It wasn’t right of me–”

“Were you serious?” Guybrush asked, quietly. Softly. 

“Huh?”

“About what you said… about… about giving up anything for me…?” He looked at her, stunned himself.

Elaine looked into his blue eyes, realizing what she had said so instinctively, so earnestly. With his hand still held, she gave it a squeeze and pulled it close to her chest. Being with him calmed her, brought her a sense of safety. It was only fair she returned that feeling for him. To have him feel calm and safe.

“Of course I did. Every word. I’d give up anything for you.” She said softly. “I might not… say it often enough, or maybe not show it, but I want you to know that.”

He chuckled a little, pulling her into a hug. “I know… and thank you for still saying it.”

“Do I get to hear that rant of yours?”

“Give me ten minutes and a couple of more drinks.”

Elaine laughed.

“Tubbo.. this isn’t very smart.” Ranboo’s tail flicked nervously and he clung to the neon plastic of the floaty.

“Of course it is! You’ve got to get used to the water somehow! You don’t even have to swim! Just float!” Tubbo started pulling the small raft into deeper waters, pretty proud of himself and his fun idea. “It’s like it swims for you! That’s why I got a two person one. So you’d feel safe.” He pulled a few more times before hopping inside and letting them bob with the waves. “See? Fun.”

Ranboo sighed. He watched his friends on the beach, wishing he was there trying to convince Wilbur not to eat sand along with Tommy. Or hanging out under the umbrella with Phil. Or doing literally anything other than floating in the ocean. That was the worst thing that he could’ve done. Ranboo glanced at Tubbo, frowning at his apparent lack of care. His mismatched eyes wandered from Tubbo to the far away shore and… wait.

“Uhh. Tubbo? Is the sand supposed to be that far away?” Ranboo asked nervously, glancing at the goat boy.

“I’m sure it’s fine. It’s not-“ Tubbo turned and his confident smile vanished. “-oh. Shit. We might’ve drifted into a riptide.” He started to move to go into the water. Ranboo immediately grabbed his arm, looking close to wailing.

“Don’t- don’t leave me. Don’t go in there.” He whimpered, tearing up.

~~~

During their fright, someone had been watching them from the depths. They hadn’t planned on being a hero today. But it seemed like these two-legs always got into some trouble in the water.

Technoblade gently swished his tail and floated up to the surface, maw opening in anticipation. These little leg-havers never learned. He wasn’t sure how many he’d saved by now.

Techno broke the surface and was immediately greeted by high pitched screams. He blinked with surprise. Surely the ocean wasn’t that rough today? Whatever. He wasn’t sure which human language they spoke, so he just bared his teeth in what was supposed to be a friendly smile.

~~~

The two boys took one look at the jagged teeth and snarling tusks and cried. They wailed for the others and clung to each other, refusing to let go even when the mer scooped them up. Together they peered down into the dark maw, and together they went down.

~~~

Techno sent them to his brooding pouch, meant to contain young mers that weren’t fully grown and eggs that needed warmth. It was completely safe there, so he didn’t understand the screaming. They had plenty of room, and yet they were huddled up in one place. He didn’t understand these leg havers. Despite having such big heads, they weren’t very smart. His head fins flicked around as he heard a different pitch of screaming. Techno turned, and watched another young two-leg barge into the water straight for him, their face nearly as red as his scales. They started floundering in the waves, looking distressed but still coming for him. Oh. They probably needed help. Techno scooped them up in a webbed hand and slid them past his tusks.

~~~

Phil couldn’t fucking believe it. He’d turned away to scold Wilbur for one second, and the three kids he was supposed to be watching were in trouble. Not just any trouble. A fucking mer. He wasn’t informed of the fact that mers lurked in these waters. And now he had to fight it for his kids. Fuck. Right when he was about to charge into the water, a hand landed in his shoulder. Phil turned and met eyes with Wilbur. After daintily swallowing a mouthful of sand, he nodded. The two ran into the water together, screeching a war cry. Bravely, they swam towards the giant mer, preparing to fight the beast in its own element.

~~~

“Are you serious? Do you guys not have survival instincts?” Techno clicked his tongue. “Come on. You want to drown?” He huffed, scooping up the one with green clothing and placing them in his jaws. As he slicked up their squirming body, Techno fished out the two-legs with a yellow shirt. They looked awful, nearly half dead, with their hair flat against their head. But they were alive. So they were worth saving. He swallowed the one in his mouth, and widely opened his jaws to put the other one in.

~~~

Wilbur could barely do more than a cough and weakly smack at the thing’s claws before being trapped in the cage of their teeth. He hadn’t even taken off his yellow sweater. He didn’t prepare to fight a giant fucking fish thing, and definitely didn’t prepare to swim. Phil had vanished down this thing’s throat, and now he was going to join him. Along with Tommy and his friend and his friend’s friend. They had names, but he’d swallowed too much seawater and was a bit too close to death to remember. “Fuck..” Wilbur shuddered, despite the tongue being more than just warm. It was sweltering.

The thick muscle moved, inching Wilbur towards the monster’s gullet. He stiffened as the tongue tilted up and he was grabbed by the powerful muscles of the mer’s throat. Wilbur was squeezed down and down, the trip feeling longer than it actually was. He was positive he’d find a crime scene in the creature’s stomach. He’d see things that he never wanted to see. He dropped into the thing’s stomach, and was immediately swarmed by the others. The intact, shaken but alright others he’d spent the trip with.

~~~

Techno huffed, holding his brooding pouch and feeling sleepy. There was so many little creatures he was protecting, and he just wanted to curl up in a nice kelp forest and nap. But he couldn’t. Techno had to take them to a safer beach. One with no riptides. He rumbled quietly, dipping below the surface and heading south. There was a nice little cove there. He could get there in about five minutes.

The mer rubbed his tongue around his mouth as he swam, tasting the last tastes of the two legs. He liked the taste. But unless the little guys were in trouble, he didn’t want to scare them by unnecessarily licking and tasting them. Techno sighed and put a hand over his pouch, feeling that his passengers had all stopped squirming and instead huddled together. At least they’d calmed down. He didn’t know why the humans fought so much. He was sure that humans also had a brooding pouch. How else would they carry their children? With their weak little arms? Surely not.

Techno finally made it to the cove, which was as pristine and empty as always. He slowly drifted across the cerulean water towards the shore, pulling himself onto the soft white sand. He brought each of them up, one at a time, and put them in a neat little pile. Techno watched them stir and begin to sit up, rumbling happily as they checked out their surroundings.

“Here. It’s safe here. No currents. Peaceful.” He gestures to the water, making a smoothing motion with his webbed hands.

The two legs took a second, peering at each other with disbelief. He waited for them to get their bearings and understand his kindness.

~~~

“Dude. I think they just relocated us to a separate beach.” Tubbo glanced at the others. “Like, a secret one. With no currents.”

Phil couldn’t believe it. “You mean all of that was for our safety?” He walked up to the mer, who wagged his spined tail. “You were worried for our safety, mate? Did you think we can’t swim?”

Tommy huffed. “I can swim. I don’t need a fish guy to save me.” He sighed. “But I appreciate being alive. So thanks, Mr. Fish.” The boy walked over to Techno and gave him a pat on the hand, which earned him a sweet, but frankly still terrifying, smile.

“The one time I decide to listen to Tubbo, I get eaten by a fish.” Ranboo huffed, but he allowed himself to grin at the mer. “I guess we have a lifeguard now. One that can actually save people.”

Wilbur wrung out his sweater. “And who also knows where all the pretty beaches are. As much as I was fucking terrified, this place is nice. I could get used to this.”

After the initial shock of the situation, everyone calmed down and realized that this mer wasn’t aggressive. Just aggressively protective. The two legs visited their mer friend every day, and vowed to come back next vacation. Techno would be waiting.

Day 2 of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

- okay so I’m on a cliff. Instead of jumping I’m gonna just teleport to one of the other places

- oops that was the place with all the turrets guess I’ll run for my life then

- grabbed a frog. Poor guys gonna get eaten alive

- ran into more mobs. Blue one one-shotted me. Rude.

- came back, threw a bomb and blew up the weaker ones

- threw another bomb and blew myself up but it’s okay I’m still alive. And I have food

- blew up a bomb and missed. Got hit again but still have a bit of health

-blew him up *again* and he’s getting kinda low

- guy is back to full health? That’s not fair only I’m allowed to do that

- shot all my ice arrows and missed

- shot all my fire arrows and hit him

- managed to kill him by running away and dropping the square bombs on him. I feel more accomplished than when I didn’t drown in mud

- loot was more fire arrows I approve

- shot another pig thing but it jumped off a cliff

- :(

- blew myself up again, still haven’t figured out the range on those bombs

- climbed a tree and stole some eggs

- found a rock golem but managed to do no damage. In a rare display of self preservation I decided to run away and not spend the next half hour trying to kill it

- found another skull cave but it’s empty feels like a trap

- nah it’s all good??

- climbed the mountain in search of the other dungeon

- it was cold tho

- the old man said he’d give me his warm doublet. Idk what a doublet is but he said warm so imma go get that. His thing says seafood near the tower so I’m gonna try fish

- fish worked, I guess doublet is a fancy name for a jumper

- climbed back up the mountain

- saw a raft, maybe I can take it across

- cut some trees in order to make my way over because the bridge was broken

- got over to the dock but fell in the water anyway

- survived and got there in one piece

- raft is gone

- waited for a while no raft

- went back across and tried to light a fire, still unsuccessful the flint didn’t work neither did the bomb

- raft is back

- got on the raft

- now I am on the raft but it is not moving

- stood around a bit and now it’s moving, hopefully it doesn’t take me off a waterfall

- apparently there was a bridge there the whole time but okay this works too

- some goblins threw some rocks at me and I threw some bombs back. We had a good time

- sweet I’m Elsa now

- shrine was pretty easy

- this guy knows my (Link’s) name he knows who I am

- tried to get the chest in the middle of the lake. Was less easy but we got there, only died twice

- he said to draw lines on the map but imma just guess it’s the place with the statue

- yay more heart

- yeah I was right

- also right about him knowing stuff, guess he’s a king now lol

- welp time to go save a princess I guess

- I mean he says that i have to hurry but I’ll probably get diverted more than a few times along the way

- wind shrine was pretty easy tbh

- smart guy guarding the thing but also silly because it would kill him easily. Not much winning there

- old guy said to go between the mountains but around looks quicker

- found another tower that’s nice

- Link climbs very slowly

- died again, if only someone (possibly like 3 separate NPCs perhaps) had warned me about the sentinels. This is what I get for trying a shortcut

- back at the tower? I guess I’ll go between the mountains then, road is hopefully safer

- found another shrine but it had spikes everywhere. I just left it

- girl is nice for giving me a pot

- Blood Moon had risen. I wonder if you can just not talk to that guy?

- horses, that’s nice I will try to get one

- I failed to get the horse

- succeeded at killing a goat tho

- everyone is giving me directions to the wrong village lol

- plant guy wants his maracas

- go to the mobs

- oh god there’s three blue ones

- some NPC showed up mid fight, poor guy looks traumatised

- my method of dropping bombs and running away has yet to fail me, we got the maracas

- Bugus gave me food for “saving him” but I’m not about (or able) to correct him

- an extra inventory slot for some maracas and that seed the flower said to give to someone (can’t remember who lol, hope it wasn’t too important)? Sure I’ll take it

- okay now I gotta go lol, fun game tho

#loz link #loz breath of the wild #loz botw #zelda breath of the wild #breath of the wild #first time playing #this game is fun #spent a good 10 minutes killing one blue goblin #still better than not drowning in mud tho #now I know to just blow them up that’s nice

[myimaginarywonderland]

Coming on here because TikTok keeps bombarding me with videos about people being confused about the nine month cruise thing (literally a dream of mine) and clearing some things up as someone who has been on 3 cruises before (all between 7-15 days, mostly based around families.)

Right, first of all, there is a doctor on board. Most of the time depending on how many people are there for how long, you will have between like 5-10 people off medical staff. They describe certain meds if someone is feeling sick, advise people if it should be something serious etc. I have personally not been sick so much that I had to go to a doctor but my parents did once and I think it was mostly just telling symptoms and getting meds/a recipe like a normal visit. I am assuming if they are staying for longer, the med things might be stocked up once a month at various ports alongside with the food. Should there be a genuine emergency you will find that quiet a few cruises also have an emergency landing place for a small plane to take someone to the closest hospital as fast as you can. And lastly if someone should get pregnant early on (which literally can happen on any holiday trip, some people are just like that) they would obviously have to get off after a few weeks/months because there is a risk. No one is staying on board a good cruise line and delivering a baby, any good staff would make sure to get them to a safe hospital or off a port so they can get home okay when they are still in the non-risk term of a pregnancy.

Secondly, as mentioned before, they stop at ports like at least every 4th/5th day. They get off, explore cities or have planned trip while the crews restock on food etc. As far as I would assume with what I read they also take new passengers on board meaning not every passenger is staying for 9 months but some get on and off at certain stops.

To go along with the food point, I genuinely don't understand how anyone would assume you get sick of the food because it was literally one of the best things on board. You will have a variety of themed dishes, options for all sort of nutritional diets, restaurant that focuses on different meals etc. Not to mention you can always try local food and something there are even tours to explore local food productions (I remember we once went to a farm that produced goat milk products like goat cheese and it was delicious.) I don't know why people think it's just a giant mall with unhealthy food when there is so much with fruits, veggies, pasta etc. It isn't just ice cream, you get sick of eating that within the first 3 days. As for myself, I also had such a craving for fruit because the cooks produce amazing meals and desserts.

Another point that I have seen is alcoholism and trust me, anyone that wants to drink to the abnormal extent will already do that in their free time anyway. Most people who are normal drinks like other people of my family that have been on a different cruise line, had a drink maybe in the evening not all around the clock or every day and then again, some maybe only had a glass of wine with a nice dinner and not 30 cocktails that they drowned.

Secondly I hope most off you realise that 9-month-cruise doesn't mean 9 months on the cruise ship. You get off at at least 30+ ports, explore cities etc. While yes there are some days that will be on the cruise, most of the time (obviously depending on where the ship goes) will be spent exploring. And for the time on board they offer courses that you can spend time at or have sports events etc. You won't get bored easily and after a few days you would also start using the options by the ship because they are fun! Some of the things are genuinely nice surprisingly even for introverted people like myself.

When it comes to affairs etc. it's baffling to me because I can not imagine that being my first thought when thinking about such a cool event. Add to that, everyone who wants to hook up, will do that on any trip and everyone who wants to cheat, will cheat at any chance, just the way people are.

Some other info about cruises that applied on the ones I took:

If you do a planned trip from the cruise, the ship will always with for you no matter how late you are. If you go out on your own however and come back late, they might leave you at the port.

Sometimes the captain will take time out of their day to sit down and answer questions which is really cool. (Don't worry, there are co-coptains.)

There used to be an exercise mandatory that would prep you for an emergency event. Before deporting on the first port, there would be the alert for an emergency and you would be asked to put on your life jacket, go to your right rescue station and have to be accounted for while the crew would tell you if you did something wrong. There also used to be a video to show you how to put on life jackets and to tell you what to do in an emergency + there are big instructions on the inside of the cabin door.

Our ship also had a lecture who would offer presentations on the ports you went to or even on specific places that trips were planned to.

We also got offered a presentation for all the planned tours that are available for every port in case anyone hadn't booked something yet and wanted to do it last minute.

There are different types of cabines but most people will choose to one with a mirror or without one because you always have to ability to go to the outside/pool deck for sun and stuff. However if the sea is rough, all outside decks will be closed but you can still see from most upper decks that have shops or restaurants.

Every cruise line is different when it comes to what is included in the price but everyone has basic food and alcohol like wine/beer. Some restaurants used to be extra pay and on the ships I was on, so did most cocktails.

I think this is maybe only on German cruises but for us you got a board card which you not only needed to come back on the cruise but that would also be used as payment on the cruise itself. It was connected to the payment you selected for the cruise itself and you could always check how much there was on it at certain machines on the ship.

All the cruises I have been on have had at leady 800 passenger cabins so a minimum of 1600 people. In a big cruise like that you rarely hang out with people other than the ones you came on the trip with in the first place but sometimes at stuffed hours if you were only 2 people or so or still had seats available at your table some people would ask if they could sit with you if the restaurants are filled. And they would also be polite and nice, sometimes starting conversations. On my cruise there were specific hours every restaurant would be open, serving 3 meals a day and sometimes cake. But you can always get drinks like water, tea or coffee.

When it comes to anything law related there is always the important question of where because if it was on land, the rules of that country will apply and if it was on the sea, it depends on which territory you are in. There is also a ship jail most of the time until people can get detained at the next port.

If you have travel insurance (always do if you travel anywhere expensive or on a longer term), they will refund it when you are injured or cannot attend sometimes because of sickness etc. However boredom does not equal a refund and I assume neither might something like pregnancy which was a decision made by you. Also, travelling start being unsafe at around the 20th week mark and this ships policy requires you to leave either if you are in the 23rd or 24th week.

That's basically it but yeah, if you have any questions that I could answer, hit me with it

[sinistresabreur]

Lol people always think I must be lying because I actually did things with my life... and I think it all seems to stem from not "doing things" in the way most people think of the phrase. But I thrive on experience, not some token measure of accomplishment.

I grew up ranching cattle, goats, and pigs. I farm crops and grow food. I'm about to go visit 13 of my family's 17ish horses and eat fresh eggs for lunch. I got my first shotgun at 8yrs old and have been hunting dove, turkey, deer, and rabbit since I can remember. I spent 15hrs on a tractor a few weeks ago. I love being my own mechanic and have crawled, mudded, and raced all over the place.

I also lived for about 12yrs in various cities. I've played with big bands, orchestras, steel pan groups, rock bands, country bands, and hosted the jazz night at a coffee house for several years as house drummer. I've taught at public and private schools, done clinics for ATSSB, hosted a marimba booth at an international percussion convention, and have been giving private lessons for almost 20yrs.

I've dressed in full armor with a shield and gone on the field for full contact combat. I've been beat to a pulp and felt the rush of victory in a melee assault. I've used recurve bows, longbows, crossbows, broadswords, glaives, spears, and more made of wood, plastic, and steel, and still practice and research historical sabre methods. I even got to teach a class on british military sabre a few years ago.

I've lived in the country and in the ghetto. I've rapped on local artists' debut albums and maintain a laundry list of recorded bluegrass and blues tunes. I've bumped New York underground rap in a 79 toyota crawler with a tan stetson on while driving through Texas to a dinner&jazz gig. I've drowned myself in homemade meade from a drinking horn and sipped expensive cognac alongside a maduro cigar. I've gone to rodeos and art studios, hung out with French painters and Brazilian guitar prodigies, drank beer with good ole boys and smogged out apartments with hoodrats, and to this day love all of it just the same.

Too many people try to find their lane and make the most of it. Life is long, but a lifetime is short yall. Enjoy it while you have time or risk wishing you had when that time is nearly up. Like a famous jazz saxophonist once said, and which I poorly paraphrase: Everything on this planet you don't enjoy and someone else does is just that - another thing you don't get to enjoy that someone else does.

Do all the things.

Caphriel 1

Summary: Within his delirium, Caphriel remembered a time before he reached for that crown.

His tongue laid dry and heavy within his mouth, his throat a scratched up path. Claws dug into someone’s arms, but bones had no strength to command movement. No matter the heated screaming of his stomach and the thirst throbbing his head, all Caphriel could do was slump.

This person, a human, easily grabbed him by the waist and forced him to lean his weight against him. He slacked even more at the smell within, of cotton, fresh laundry and river water. His feet dragged against wood floors and stumbled up sets of stairs.

“Say hi to them, Caphy,” Mama gently nudged him towards the old lady of the inn, his foot catching on a loose floorboard. He almost fell, but Mama was there to catch him, “Ah, I’m sorry, dear! Come on, let’s go to the nice lady.”

Caphriel was laid on his back, against sheets that itched at his skin. Fingers nudged and poked at his jaw. He opened to maw to snap on it’s tips, but a cloth was shoved on his tongue. He couldn’t gag, there was blood on it. He bite down and squeezed out more.

“Oh don’t spit it out, I know it’s different from cows.” Mama didn’t have a problem downing her drink, hand rubbing his back to get the blood out of his lungs. “You’ll get used to goat’s blood eventually. You need it to grow big and strong okay? I promise you’ll feel better after you drink it.”

Caphriel was trying to do too many things. He needed breath but he needed to feed. He almost spat the soaked cloth out when he coughed but his hands were keeping the thing in place. Only when it was ripped out of his mouth did his eyes finally focus on you.

He chased after the cloth, but your hands grabbed his wrists and forced him back on the bed.

“Stop it.” An order, a stern command from someone who was much too tired to let guilt in. “You’ll drown yourself like that.”

Thirst thrummed within the hollow of his bones, but it no longer was a visitor in his head. He couldn’t say anything.

How did…why are you here?

“Here,” you pried open his mouth and stuffed the cloth back in, blood coating the beds of your nails, “slower this time.”

He squeezed his lips and sucked in slow just like you asked. You nodded with a sigh before reclining in your chair.

“Alright," you crossed your arms, face settling towards boredom, "just take your rest. I'll be here in case you go wild again."

Caphriel spit the cloth out and rasped. Surely you wanted answers. "Don't you want to know why I'm—"

"Whatever the reason, I don't care." And you dismiss him so easily. As though whatever danger he brought with him was of no matter. "Quit with the worries, you know I can hold my own."

Followed you after seeing your comment about how ALL christian denominations are fucked and how the ones that try to look progressive just shield the rest from criticism. Its so nice to see someone who gets it, it can be so so so exhausting to try to explain all that shit to people who havent studied christianity and still see it as the "nice, awkward, naive homeschool kid" religion, instead of the extremely dangerous, actively-toxic-to-its-followers-and-their-friends, terrifying death/rape cult that it is.

Anyway i saw you were looking for music recs. It seems dumb to suggest but just in case you havent listened to it, the Mountain Goats' All Hail West Texas album has a similarish vibe and is soooo fucking good. Ummm, Chris Pureka (queer folk artist) has some heart-achingly beautiful folksy stuff. Evan Greer (another queer folk artist) has some fucking kickass stuff that, again, has a very similar vibe. Those three are definitely worth a listen. :)

Honestly, one of the things I regret about my growth as a person was allowing people to convince me that it isn't all denominations, for far too long.

As a teen, I was angry about homophobia and the cause was apparent: Christians never hid that they were behind those atrocities. They were openly taking credit, and yet they were joined by, "no, really, that's just the bad denominations. I belong to a really progressive church."

It was amazing, really. Every Christian I met was one of the good ones. They all belonged to a great church that didn't discriminate. They were accepting. And supportive. I couldn't find the evil ones. Where are they? No one belonged to one of the bad churches. But THEY all know which ones are the bad ones. It's all those "fake Christians" from unspecified denominations. Sometimes it was an "opposing" denomination from theirs. It's all so theoretical.

They were nowhere to be found. And yet, these rare bad ones somehow maintain the political power to prevent our full equality under the law. But if everyone belongs to a good church, how do they control the narrative so well? How is the Christian "sanctity of marriage" argument still such a popular perspective if it's just an almost nonexistent few bad Christians? How did the "grooming" bullshit rise to such prominence again? There are no secular arguments for homophobia. Am I supposed to believe that suddenly the good Christians have lost their voice temporarily? That they're just being drowned out by a small powerless minority that tricked them into voting for their candidates?

And then you spend time with those good ones. They deny that Billy Graham supported conversion therapy while calling for a national holiday to celebrate such a "great man." They're very supportive. Don't you know that your sin of being gay is no worse than their sin of committing murder? It's all the same. And you know, some people genuinely have a problem with us having rights, would it really hurt us if we just compromised and let them punch us five times, instead of six? You confide in one of the really progressive "I like to think of myself as a follower of Jesus, not a Christian, because Christians really do bad things" and they use your distress at the fascist threat as an opening to witness, "Yeah, Christians are awful. But you'd love Jesus. He wouldn't support these behaviors. Isn't he great?"

There isn't a denomination of Christianity that doesn't believe that what we are is immoral. There are some that cushion the language to trick us into spreading the message of our oppressor. But not one treats any LGBT trait as being neutral--as a characteristic that just exists. There's inherently a judgment. The "good ones" are just a sleight of hand meant to trivialize the seriousness of what their religion is doing to us.

And it's unavoidable. You cannot create a sect of Christianity that will be good and peaceful in the world--at least, not without throwing away the very things that define Christianity. The basic structure of the religion is inherently damaging to a person's way of thinking: the absolutely worst, most unforgivable thing you can do is question the existence of Jesus or his inherent goodness. Regardless of denomination, questioning the authoritarian leader is grounds for eternal torture. You cannot have a healthy environment based on that perspective.

The concept of witnessing and missionary work is designed for genocide. The whole premise is to make people in other cultures "accept" that they're inferior, destroy their cultures, and join into Christian culture. It's why, regardless of denomination, that missionary work has always been so bloody--even into the present. Those bodies buried at Canadian church schools aren't that old. You can't view the world that way and end up as a good person. The core of Christianity--the very thing that defines the religion--perfectly resembles a fascist regime.

There are no denominations without these critical flaws. That we're so willing to pretend that there is, is why they came back so strongly after just a couple years of legal defeats. The LGBT-phobic sentiment never went away; it's still mainstream Christian thought. We'll never be able to end our oppression until we stop pretending that Christians have a right to these beliefs.

Regarding music--thank you for the recommendations! And please, no feeling dumb for making a recommendation. It's not obvious but my experience with music is. Well, it feels weird to call it new, but in the scheme of things, it is.

Short story: I learned as an adult that having a heart murmur can really mess up your ability to perform music. Music education in school was very frustrating for reasons that I didn't understand at the time. So I just didn't interact with music in any way at all. I expected it in games and movies, but just listening didn't bring me any joy. And in some ways, I haven't fully shaken that--I like listening on work days where I don't have a ton of meetings; it helps me focus on the tasks. I rarely just listen.

There were 2 things that changed my perspective. I was asked to join an African Percussion group in college (specifically Ewe music from Ghana)--I was learning about live audio for video production, and the instructor had me help them setup their PA system during performances. They ended up inviting me into the group, and I finally got something out of music.

A couple years later, I went to my first Renaissance Faire. And I found I was drawn to the really loud music--the kind that you can physically feel, not just hear. Which was an obvious connection to the percussion music I'd been playing. And I loved it!

That led me to be open to play Guitar Hero and Rock Band when I was invited to, which let me appreciate some more music. But I still prefer the playful kind. I'll take bag rock over rock any day.

So I don't really have a lot of knowledge around music. I don't know a lot of the groups people think would be obvious to know. And I don't really have a lot of language to describe what I like about different kinds of music. And so, despite your preface, feel comfortable: I had never heard of Mountain Goats before.

I will say, the content of the Mountain Goats and Chris Pureka were close to what I was looking for, but the feeling of the music wasn't. I found a couple songs from both that I liked, though, so thanks!

I tend to like really energetic music. I often shorthand to "fast" but I recognize that's not the main defining characteristic, I just don't have better words for it. Evan Greer was pretty much EXACTLY what I was looking for--thank you!

What I liked about the folk song I mentioned, and some of the artist's other work before she outed herself as a bigot, was the "fantasy" setting. Folk music is a genre where I'm less likely to enjoy content about modern life. I mean, most of my favorite music tends to lean towards fantasy/renaissance/scifi. But folk in particular, I like it to reflect a different time--past or future--I live here in this time, so it doesn't feel as interesting. I also liked the power in her voice (I don't have the language for what I'm describing; it's not just the forcefulness of her tone, but the way you know the instruments will never compete for focus against her voice), and the driving energy of the rhythm.

Here are some examples of what I personally would describe as a similar vibe:

March of Cambreath by Heather Alexander; Wanderer's Path by Mythemia; Wake Skadi by Hagalaz' Runedance.

Not quite as comparable, but I would consider Zumbaj by Reliquiae (or, since they seemed to have pulled the song for some reason, Šarena gajda by Rece-Fice zenekar és Bea Palya is a close enough substitute) and Dawson's Christian by Vixy and Tony to be the kind of vibe I'm going for.

(Actually, from that selection, it's probably kind of obvious about how much I enjoyed Evan Greer's work. Again, thank you!)

Though even compared to these, I felt like the song I referenced is still a unique outlier in this company, and I wanted more with that kind of defiant old gods kind of feeling.

Songs that fit ASP and lyrics to prove it

There are seven songs so I'm gonna put a cut here. Also there's a little bit of story and discussion for one of them.

No Children by The Mountain Goats: And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can't find one good thing to say And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my way I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die

God Must Hate Me by Catie Turner: Got ample mental illness, personality flaws While their only flaw seems to be is that they have none at all Do you ever see someone and think "Wow, God must hate me" I'll let 'em take accountability For everything that's wrong with me Can't hold myself responsible So I blame the metaphysical

Francis Forever by Mitski: On sunny days I go out walking I end up on a tree-lined street I look up at the gaps of sunlight I miss you more than anything [...] And autumn comes when you're not yet done With the summer passing by, but I don't think I could stand to be Where you don't see me [This is Finny's ghost to Gene :(] Final Duet (fan lyrics) by OR3O: When the nights get too lonely When the skies become gray It's okay, it's okay Just take everything day by day And you will see It's not as bad as it seems

Love Like You from Steven Universe: I always thought I might be bad Now I'm sure that it's true 'Cause I think you're so good And I'm nothing like you Look at you go I just adore you I wish that I knew What makes you think I'm so special

[Ok this is a stretch but] Satisfied by MARINA: High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free They say I'm a control freak Driven by a greed to succeed Nobody can stop me 'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

Seventeen (Reprise) from Heathers: Listen up folks War is over Brand new sheriff's come to town We are done with acting evil We will lay our weapons down We're all damaged, we're all frightened We're all freaks but that's alright We'll endure it, we'll survive it [Finny], are you free tonight? [...] I can't promise no more Heathers High school may not ever end Still, I miss you, I'd be honored If you'd let me be your friend

Ok so for the last one the context is it's definitely after the first fall... I think when Gene visits Finny after the second fall or Finny's surgery from said fall turns out ok and he's on crutches again.

The characters are Gene, Finny, Brinker and Leper trying to be like normal again (but I know this is dumb cause Lep is LITERALLY CLINICALLY INSANE A PYSCHO). I'd like the situation to be the first option because there's a line that says, "Let's go be seventeen [...] Act like we're all still kids, cause this could be our final chance!" and the irony is that it IS their final chance cause you all know what happens in surgery then 😒

But I don't know how to have them all partying if Finny's literally still in the bed, like he's not moving all that much 💀💀💀💀 Anyway I need to learn how to draw Brink and Lep if I do this
