NIA THAT WAS AMAZING TY FOR ANSWERING MY KEIJI ASK 🫶🫶 and that bkak comic was so cute !!! pls tell me all ur thoughts on them Please 🙏 would love u forever if u did

Thank U Anon. love u. they're just niacore... the fluff! the humour! knowing each other completely! unwavering support! inspiring each other to be better! my cat and dog! ☹️

they're both vry comforting and lovely 2 me albeit in different ways, so Together. . .Wow. W-O-W. Stars Align Worlds Collide Heaven On Earth. put me in coach. furudate wrote them 4 me specifically 🫂

bkak hcs bkak hcs ouaghhh!!!

first and foremost. bkak rescued a cat together. Walk with me. the story me and my irl (summer) concocted long ago is that they saw a cat in a parking lot late at night and got vry worried !! bokuto is more outwardly panick-y and akaashi gets him to calm down (devastated inside) so they can run to the nearest pet store to get food... they go through the whole process of checking for a name tag + going to the vet etc but in the end !! they adopt the kitty!! YAAAY!! we never picked a gender or name or what it looks like or anything. i will have 2 ask my irls for ideas... if u have any Lmk.

^ they spoil the cat sooo much. SOO much the first day it's at their house they just watch as it explores and take so many pics... get a comfy bed and cat tree and treats and toys yeahhh spoiled baby. i know they were giggling over it having one of their last names btw. I KNOWWW 🙁

i really love the idea of bkak thrifting for home decor together actually. because u know they're gonna get something silly.. maybe start a little animal sculpture collection... a piece of abstract art they discussed for 15 minutes because bokuto swears he can see a giraffe in it and akaashi is stuck squinting confused. their place is really quite nice but there's these little things around!

bokuto asking akaashi to kiss him after each workout set as motivation 🥹 akaashi asking for a kiss after he's done reviewing another chapter 🥹

we must allow akaashi keiji to be a little weird. a silly boyfailure. WE MUSTTT WE MUST!!! bokuto knows this better than anyone... leans into akaashi's weird shirts and looks out for them when he's on trips... akaashi says something just so incoherent while he's tired and bokuto acts as a translator and or rubs his shoulders and chides him for staying up so late... yeah.

i know akaashi cooks for bokuto in the comic but 🥹🥹 bokuto trying to cook for akaashi as a surprise... puts on an apron, watches videos, reads recipes like he takes it Seriously! tries so hard and even asks osamu for help, so even if it isn't the best in the world akaashi thinks he might cry like omg 🙁

i think i've said this here before but. akaashi has so much access to official bokuto merch y'know. he's kou's #1 supporter fr fr and when kou gets him stuff for free he's like !!!! BUT! no akaashi merch :( ? this is devastating for bokuto... what does he do ? get custom pieces made of course. the pride and giddiness on his face while he wears his new sweater with akaashi's name. keiji's face is so red. BOKUTO GETTING A KEIJI DOLL. "now make them hold hands" "now kiss" yeahvyeah yehnayeau

akaashi broke his glasses once by accidentally falling asleep with them on so when bokuto notices he takes them off for him! and carries him to bed obviously.

rent a boyfriend with Bokuaka. Walk With Me. it truly works either way and in so many scenarios... one needs a date to a wedding? one was told to do so by a friend? one was drunk and said fuck it? the butterflies and tension... the confusion... being closer than they would be with a regular client... bumping into each other on a regular day... I love u bokuaka.

touches water and watches it ripple... bokuto inviting akaashi to play volleyball with him.... it's been ages since keiji's gotten to set... but then bokuto spikes and they remember what it felt like to play together.. and and amdnanffnff

here's translated versions of bkak letters that someone wrote. I actually felt my chest cave in before i found out it was a threadfic. IT HURTSOSBAD

and here's a bunch of art. for u. for me.

Twitter user 45__kk Means The World To Me. here are a few posts: one two three four five six. i could keep going. 45__KK U MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!!

How danganronpa characters act with kittens with their S/O.

Kazuichu Souda

I think he would like hanging out with kittens

I just think you would have to remind him to tone done his volume and excitement

You also have to tell him to be gentle with them

“Their so cute! I thought cats were just jerks. Looks like I was wrong!”

“Why did you think cats are jerks?”

“Well I see people talk or post about how cats are, kinda entitled or mean.”

“Hehehe well that can be true. Cats can be like that. It might be because of the breed or the way their raised. I should know I have had plenty of cats.”

“Ooh! Babe! How about we get a cat!”

“I don’t know you know their a big responsibility.”

“Please babe!”

“Fine I guess.”

“Aw thank you babe!”

“Which one should we get?”

“How about this one!”

“Yeah! What should his name be?”

“How about Garfield?”

“Basic.”

“Ok ok. Stripes?”

“Nah.”

“Ok.…Ginger!”

“I kinda like that name!”

“Ok, Ginger! Your coming home with us!”

You to leave the pet store with cat food, cat bed, a small scratching post, some toys, water and food bowl, litter box, and a collar that says ginger.

You guys absolutely adore the cat. He actually very well train, he uses the litter box, the scratching post, never scratches furniture.

When you get home from your part time job you find Kazuichu playing with the kitten or him petting it while it takes a nap on him.

Your friends were surprised that the two of you got a cat. Most of them thought Kazuichu was more of a dog person. He claims that he likes cat and dogs. But for now he had just a cat.

“Hey babe, thanks for letting me get ginger.”

“No thank you for convincing me to get ginger.”

“Hehehe, I love this little guy!”

“I just hope he doesn’t steal you away from me.”

“Of course not! I have enough love for both of you.”

“Good to know.”

Makoto Naegi

You guys decided to visit a friend who’s cat just had kittens. You guys just went to look at them but makoto got a little to attached to all the kittens.

“S/O do we have to go so soon!”

“Naegi we can’t stay here forever.”

“But their all so cute!”

“Naegi…”

“Oh come on! Just a little longer. Pleeeaassee!”

“Ok a little longer.”

25 minutes later...

“Naegi, my friend is saying we have to leave.”

“Nnnoooo!!!”

“Come on cutie let’s start getting ready to leave.”

“S/O how about we adopt them.”

The cat in question had 3 kittens.

“Naegi I don’t think that’s a good idea. If you didn’t know cats can be quiet a challenge to take care of. Not mentioning 3”

Your friend came in and said you can take them, but she just had to mention whatever kittens we didn’t take she would put in an animal shelter.

You mentally screamed in your head

“S/O! We can’t let them go there! These sweet babies wouldn’t survive!”

“Naegi-“

He had a cute sad puppy dog face. It looks like you have three kittens now

So when you guys got home you put some tuna on a plate and used a bowl nobody used for water. And used a blanket for them to bundle up in

“Ok naegi. How about you name the black and white one, I name the orange and grey one, and both think of a name for the gray one.”

He nodded his head in agreement

He named the black and white one ace

You named the grey and orange one mochi

And the gray one you both agreed on the name faith

Funny enough, you actually spent most the time with the cats.

Naegi would sometime joke and say

“I think you love those cats more than me.”

But then he would also lay down and play with them.

Faith was a very friendly cat, she got along with your friends fine, she loved affection, she often slept with you guys

Mochi was kinda territorial, she would growl at your friends at first, maybe fiercely scratch them or loudly meow at them, she was also a little adventurous, one time you guys couldn’t find her until you heard a meow from the window and saw she had a mouse in her mouth, still alive mind you. You quickly took it out her mouth and let it outside.

Ace was a very lazy cat, he only really got up if you had food or he wanted to lay in the sun, he would let you pet him. He would also lay in your lap if your not doing anything and would pet him.

You guys loved your cats and don’t regret your decision getting all three

Hajime Hinata

Hajime was a bit skeptical when you brought a kitten home and said “come on honey, let’s just take care of it for at least a week or two. You might like it.”

While your at your job he just took care of it, feed it, gave it water. That’s it.

For the first like three days

After a while the kitten would jump on Hajime’s lap and just curl up and sleep. He found it so cute.

He would also start petting it

Using a laser pointer and playing with it

He would softly laugh when playing with it.

You were starting to think Hajime didn’t like the cat. Cause you never saw him do anything with it when you got home.

You came home on the last day to take it back cause you thought Hajime didn’t like it. But you couldn’t find him or the kitten

To your surprises you found Hajime sitting on the bed and playing with it. With one of those dangling cat toys.

“So you do like the kitten?”

He turned to you surprised and then his face went a little red with embarrassment. He slowly nodded.

“So do you want to keep her? If not I can take her back.”

“No I really like her! She cute and fun!”

“Ok let’s decide if a name for her!”

“Hhhmm how about muffin?”

“I do like it. But what about other names?”

“Kitten, missy, misty, mocha, Roxie, muffin-“

You about to tell Hajime he already said muffin before the cat meowed and looked at both of you

“…Muffin.”

The cat crawled towards Hajime after he said muffin.

“I guess our cat name is muffin.”

After playing with muffin for a while, you both got ready to sleep and mitten sat in between both of your faces

Who knew Hajime would like cats

Kokichi oma

Kokichi was just walking around minding his own business when he saw a kitten, covered in dirt, crying and very skinny. Now Kokichi can be a jerk but he isn’t heartless. He picked up the kitten and ran straight home. He got some soap (the kind that is safe for animals.) and turned on the sink and washed it, not to hard to hurt but enough to get the dirt off. Then he got a towel and put him on the floor. Then got a plate put some tuna on it and then got then a bowl of water. He let it do it’s own thing but after it was done the kitten rub against Kokichi leg. Throughout the day the kitten would follow him wherever he went around the house.

“Kichi, babe I’m home.”

“Hey S/O look what I found in the in the alley!”

He came in and showed you pure white cat.

“Can we keep him please!”

“Kichi, I don’t know.”

He started shedding some tears. Of course they were crocodile tears. But the fact that he acted sad, must mean he really wants it.

“Ok kichi we can keep him-“

“YAAAY!”

“But we have to take it to the vet to get him nurtured, and make sure it gets all his shots”

Kokichi agreed to you term and the next day you guys go get him nurtured and make sure to get his shots. Well you did. He went to go buy some toys, cat food, a bed, etc. after you guys were done you brought him home and started thinking of a name for the pure white cat

“How about snowball?”

“No that’s too generic.”

“Casper?”

“No, he’s not dead.”

“Alaska?”

“If it was girl maybe.”

“Glacier?”

“No.”

“How about blanco?”

“What’s that even mean?”

“It means white in Spanish.”

“Blanco…blanco…blanco”

“I think I like it!”

“Alright blanco it is.”

Kokichi loved the cat. He always feed it, gave it water, and he loved to play with it.

Funny thing about blanco he was quite the mischievous cat. He loved to push things off shelves and scratch up furniture. But he was so cute

Sometimes Kokichi takes him to DICE meetings. he has him in his laps. While talking about whatever plans he pets him like a super villain

You and Kokichi also loves it when he cuddles up with both you when you prepare to go to bed

Kokichi sometimes walks around and on his shoulders is blanco.

As we all know mui and Kokichi. Hate each other. So anytime he walking around with blanco with his shoulder and mui insults him or something. Blanco will jump off his shoulders and attack mui until she runs away. Which Kokichi praises him for(even though you tell him multiples times it’s not ok for blanco to do that).

I saved the best fact for last. Kokichi had somebody make a mini scarf like the one he has. Which when you saw, it felt like you heart almost exploded.

You both love blanco so much!

Nagito Komeada

You were leaving for a trip in two months, and Nagito wasn’t too happy about that. He didn’t voice the fact that he was really gonna miss you. But you knew anyway. He was always kinda lonely when you go away. Sure he has…friends…or whatever he has with his classmates.

So you decided to get him a pet, you thought a dog might be to much. So why not a kitten.

A black kitten with yellow eyes caught your eye. You thought how funny it would be to get her since black cats are bad luck. You also wanted to get her cause the owner said that kitten would go to a different shelter soon.

You poked a holes in a box and put her in with a bow on top

“Nagi!”

“My hope! What’s that in your hand?”

“It’s a gift! For you my love!”

“Oh! My hope! Getting trash like me a gift. Your too good for me!”

“Nagi, my love, your not trash. Come on open it!”

He opened it and the kitten jumped right out onto his chest. He was quite surprised

“My hope! You got me a kitten!”

“Yeah! I know how lonely you get when I go away. So I got you this kitten! Do you like her?”

He picked her up and looked at her. He titled his head sideways and the cat copied him. Then he smiled and hugged the cat.

“I love her!!”

You squealed cause it was so cute.

“What do you want to name her?”

“Mmhhh…Lucky! I want to name her lucky!”

“Hehehe I’m not to surprised.”

Nagito was really happy. He wasn’t too sad when you had to leave.

Him and lucky were always together. He loves that kitten like his own child. He always let her sleep with him, eats with her and sometimes walks around with her.

His classmates notice the kitten and they asked question about it. He told them how you got him this kitten.

Lucky was a very interesting cat, he seemed to bring Nagito such good luck, but others not so much.

Like for example, fuyuhiko said something not to nice to Nagito, lucky was just there sitting on Nagito’s shoulders. When fuyuhiko walked away he tripped on some stairs. It was a lot of steps but it he was still kinda hurt. A couple of bruises and scraps.

He sometimes likes to pick up lucky and boop their noses together.

Ibuki took a picture of the moment and sent it to you. That picture become your new phone background.

He like to call lucky his good luck charm.

When you get back from your trip he at the airport with lucky on his shoulders.

“It’s seems you two got close.”

“Yeah! My hope! Lucky is the best gift I’ve ever gotten! Thank you so much!”

“Gotten any bad luck lately?”

“Nope quite the opposite!”

“Really?”

“Yeah! She’s my good luck charm!”

“I’m glad you that she brings you that much happiness.”

“Yup! now that your back and with lucky here. I feel on top of the world!”

“Heheh I love you nagi!”

“I love you more.”

*meow*

“We love you too lucky!”

You all got in the car and snuggled up together. Lying your head on Nagito’s shoulders and putting his head on top of yours. With lucky on top of your laps. How cute!

Beast Survival - 3

Writer: Nishioka Maiko

Season: Summer

Proofreading: royalquintet (JP & ENG)

Aira: (Hyaa! I came here for a change of pace after work, but to think I'd run into Jun Sazanami — my luck is outta this world! ♪ )

[Location: Hanging Garden]

[The next day]

Jun: Mm......

(In the end, our meeting wound up starting right after that so I couldn't ask Ohii-san what he'd meant. I've been reading the script for forever and a day, and even then I still don't have a clue what he was tryna say.)

(On the other hand, I'm not about to just give up like I'm running away with my tail between my legs. Rubs me the wrong way when Ibara sasses me, too.)

(What am I supposed to do...)

Hey. What goes on in your head? What do you feel, Hyena Prince?

Aira: Hmhmhmm~ ♪

(Ah, isn't that Eden's Jun Sazanami over there!?)

(Hyaa! I came here for a change of pace after work, but to think I'd run into Jun Sazanami — my luck is outta this world! ♪ )

(But what's he doing here~?)

(He's holding a script...? Woah, could he be in the middle of rehearsing?)

(What luck to stumble upon Jun Sazanami in the middle of his personal practice~)

(Uhh~ What should I do? Should I call out to him?)

(But he looks like he's real focused. He's been frowning the whole time... It's probably a bad idea to distract him, right...?)

(But this kinda chance is super rare to come by, so it's probably fine just to watch him from here! Yaaay~! ♪ Let's do juuust that~☆ )

...... (He stares intently.)

Jun: ......

Aira: ...... (Still staring intently.)

Jun: ...Hey, uh~? You've been distracting me for a lil' while now — d'you need me for something?

Aira: Wahhh! Y-You noticed me!?

Jun: Why wouldn't I? Stand out that much and even an idiot would notice, y'know.

If I remember correctly, you're Alkaloid's Aira Shiratori-kun, right...?

Aira: Wha!? You actually remembered me!? I'm so happy—! How ravely~♪

Ehehe... sorry for bothering you. I'd wanted to call out to you, actually, but seeing how focused you were I thought maybe I shouldn't get in your way...

Jun: Nah, I wouldn't be bothered by something like that. Why not come sit with me instead of standing all the way over there?

Aira: Huh? Is it really okay? Well then — don't mind if I do! 'Scuse meee~♪

By the way, Sazanami-senpai, what kinda script are you reading~?

Oh, I know this director! My fav idols were in their last production!

I went for both the first day and the final performance, and it was suuuper ravely and just the absolute best~!

Huh? If you've got this script then that means... Sazanami-senpai, are you gonna be taking part in the next stageplay!?

Jun: That's right, I got an offer to star in it. But damn, this director really is pretty popular, huh~

Aira: Woaaah~! You're even starring in it!?

That's sooo super cool! And yeah, that's right! They're the talk of the town these days ♪

I'm definitely gonna come and watch, okay~! Maybe I'll even come for every single showing... ♪

Jun: Ah... I'm happy to hear that, thank you.

Aira: ...? Um...? Could it be you're actually not too happy about it? Did I go overboard with what I said.....?

Jun: Ah, no, not one bit! That's not it at all. Sorry if I worried you.

I'm happy about it too, really, but... well, how d'you put it... I'm having some trouble with the role... so I've just been a lil' stuck on how to get into character.

Aira: Ooh~ So even someone from Eden runs into that kind of thing, huh.

It's actually kinda refreshing to hear that. I'd always thought you guys could do pretty much anything without breaking a sweat.

Jun: That's seriously not the case at all. The way everyone around us keeps getting stronger and stronger, it's all we can do to cling on with all we've got day in and day out to keep from falling behind.

Aira: Hmm. Big mood, honestly~

Say... Could I have a peek at the script...?

Jun: Hm? Ahh, sure thing. Here you go.

Aira: Yaaay! ♪ ...Ooh, so this is what a stageplay script looks like, huh. How ravely~ ☆

...... Mmhm... I see~ So this is about a world of animals. It definitely looks pretty hard to play...

But if it's the great Jun Sazanami then I'm sure you're gonna ace it! You'll slip right into your role — I just know it!

Jun: Ah~... Thanks for that.

(Mmm. His belief in me feels really sincere... I appreciate it, but considering how I don't even have a plan for what to do, I feel kinda bad about it.)

Aira: Animals, huh~.... Speaking of which, I heard on TV the other day that pet dogs gradually grow to resemble their owners~

And on top of that, pets and owners can even mysteriously communicate with each other.

So Sazanami-senpai, maybe if you hit up some peeps with pets and talk to them about 'em, it might actually help as reference for you, right~?

Jun: ! I see...

(I didn't think of that. And here I'd even been taking care of Ohii-san's Bloody Mary for a little while.)

(She sure has come to understand what he's thinking, somehow.)

(In the end, Ohii-san took her with him when he transferred to Starmony Dorm, and I recently moved from the school dorms to the ones here myself.)

(Since we're in different rooms, I don't get to see her as often these days, though.)

(Hitting up people who've kept pets longer than I have and hearing what they have to say, huh... That might actually work.)

Mm. That's a great idea! I'm not gonna make any progress just standing around having a staredown with the script, after all. I'll give chatting with some pet owners a go instead.

In that case, the easiest person to ask would be Ohii-san, wouldn't it. Wait, but he's got some family matters to attend to today and won't be back till the afternoon, or something like that.

Aira: Then, why not head on over to Tattsun-senpai's place?

Whoops, you're not gonna know who it is with that nickname. To Kazehaya-senpai's place, I mean.

Jun: Ahh, 'cause his name's Tatsumi, yeah? But why Kazehaya-senpai? Does he have a pet?

Aira: Tattsun-senpai isn't keeping anything himself, but he's mentioned that his roommate Oogami-senpai has a dog.

So we could get Tattsun-senpai to act as our go-between with Oogami-senpai!

Our Alkaloid work for today is over, so Tattsun-senpai's gone back to his own room, I think.

Jun: Ohh, that's right. Oogami-san does have a dog. Well, I guess I'll drop by for a chat, then?

Aira: In that case... If it's alright, could I come along with you, Sazanami-senpai?

Jun: Huh? 'Course I don't mind. Besides, it'd probably come as a surprise if I visit Kazehaya-senpai alone out of the blue, so it'd actually help me out a bunch if we go together.

Aira: Hooray~♪ If it's all decided, then let's go right away!

(Getting to watch Jun Sazanami prepare for his role from up this close... say, aren't I on a roll!?)

(ES really is a paradise filled to the brim with raveliness... I'm seriously sooo happy I became an idol~! ♪)

Trixany & Haris Pilton Outtakes #1: Swimmin' pools and movie stars

Trixany: Wait. Is that an azerite swimming pool?? How horrible!

Haris: I dunno, with everyone focused on the Shadowlands the timing seemed right.

Trixany: Timing? In that all the legal authorities that might come after you are far away, fully invested in making sure the Shadowlands and reality itself isn't ripped apart?

Haris: Um, no. I mean that it's a buyer's market. Right now, those wacko overnight azerite barons don't know what to do with themselves.

Trixany: And is that fountain a diamond statue of Magni Bronzebeard? How morally decrepit is this whole pool setup, Haris?!!

Haris: Hey, someone else brought up the whole 'Magni would be so offended' thing, so I added a fountain, in his honor. That way, the pool is more of an awareness thing right? I'm totally getting away with it. And ontop of that, if Magni ever shows up here? He's gonna fall dead-ass in love, and want to take a selfie.

Trixany: What the... ? But evenso, diamonds themselves aren't always ethically--

Haris: Geez! Are you always on? Some Venture Co slaves or whatever mined those out of the mountains in Mulgore. That's not my moral responsibility.

Trixany: Haris, that isn't even how moral responsibility works. You can't shuffle it off on someone else. Especially not in this situation! A fountain that size? In diamonds? That's gotta be custom made. You actually called up the Venture Co, you told them 'I need a giant diamond carved to these exact dimensions to fit in my azerite pool', and they were like, 'Sure thing Ms. Pilton, that's a big order. Are you sure? We'll get our put upon, Mulgore diamond slaves right on it. Sign here to confirm,' And then that's totally, EXACTLY what you did!! Right?

Haris: ...

Trixany: Nevermind! You're pure evil, I'm exhausted, and I... I-I guess this pretty pool is calling me.

Haris: *pets her little dog* That's right, give up, Trixany. Soon, they will all give in...

Trixany: What was that?

Haris: Like! That's hot. Cute swimsuit or whatever. Yaaay. *glares* Now go swim.

Logan’s Trip to [REDACTED]

Chapter 2: Logan's Second Round of Visits

Logan describes his first experience inside the SCP Foundation, and tells them about the volunteer opportunity.

Two weeks later, Logan heads back to the SCP Foundation for a few more days to meet some new SCP's and meet up with his personal favorites.

For @kanene-yaaay! 

1st chapter: The First Ever Foreign Visitor

Logan opens up the door to the car, and removes the eye mask from his face, while the passenger removed Logan's luggage from the trunk of the car. As he hands the driver the mask back, he thanks the driver and the passenger for the wonderful opportunity.

"Well, I'm glad to know you enjoyed it. And, I believe we'll be seeing more of you in the future?" The driver clarified.

"Of course! I could never pass up a volunteer opportunity like that." Logan replied.

The driver smiled. "Sounds good. See you in two weeks." The driver said, before hopping into the car.

Logan smiled. "Bye." Logan replied, watching the car leave the front of the house.

Logan grabbed onto his luggage, and pulled it up to the door. He knocked on the door, and waited patiently for someone to open it.

In a matter of seconds, Logan heard loud sprinting footsteps up to the door, and watched it open to reveal: Roman! And Patton!

"LOGAN!" Patton and Roman yelled at once. Roman and Patton pulled Logan into a strong, sandwiched hug that nearly knocked him down.

But, Logan didn't mind the familiar touches. "Hi...I'm back." Logan said with a crooked smile.

"Welcome home Logey! I made you cookies!" Patton cheered. Logan's smile widened into a toothy smile at the sound off cookies. It reminded Logan of SCP-999 almost immediately.

Logan walked himself into the kitchen and grabbed a couple cookies off of the cooling rack. "Hey Logan. Welcome back." Virgil greeted, walking into the room and giving Logan a gentle pat on the back.

"Hi Virgil. It feels good to be back." Logan replied, ruffling his hair a little bit. Logan bit into one of the cookies, and smiled wide at how amazing they tasted! Patton giggled with a toothy smile, reading his facial expression as a hint to his success at the cookies.

Roman gasped at the rare, large smile on Logan's face. "Wow! I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before!" Roman commented.

Logan paused his smile, and took another bite of his cookie. Bits of cookie crumbs fell down his face as he attempted to explain his happy mood. "Shorry. I'm shtill exshperiencing the effectx of the SCP'sh..." Logan explained with his mouth partly full.

"So...what was it like, being surrounded by FBI agents?" Virgil asked.

Logan swallowed his chewed up cookie. "More like Men in Black characters, but bald. All of them had shiny bald heads. Even the General Manager had a bald head! If it weren't for his bigger-sized belly, I wouldn't be able to tell him apart from the rest." Logan explained.

Patton rested his chin on his hands, and listened to Logan's story in awe and wonder. "The building was huge. You could've easily gotten lost in there, if you didn't have a map with you. Which, for your ease of mind, I did have a map with me, and it helped me immensely." Logan explained.

"Cool. What were some of the SCP's like?" Virgil asked.

Patton gasped. "Yeah! Were they all scary? Or were there friendly SCP's as well? Tell me! Tell me, tell me, tell me!" Patton asked and pleaded, grabbing onto Logan's wrist as he jumped and whined.

Logan giggled at their onslaught of questions. "Well, there were a few scary ones. You know that Creepypasta that was written about SCP-173?" Logan asked, referring to Virgil.

"Uh huh. The one that looked like a weird, deformed baby?" Virgil recalled.

"Yes. That photo is 100% accurate. No photoshop, no touch-ups, a true photo taken of SCP-173." Logan told them.

Roman's eyes widened. "No way..." Roman reacted, unsure of whether Logan was joking or not.

"I'm not kidding. At all. There's also an alligator with a mane and an exposed ribcage. It's called SCP-682, and it's super strange-looking..." Logan told them. Then, Logan begins to smile a little bit. "But Patton, you are right: There are plenty of safe and friendly SCP's that could be perceived as 'cute'. For example: there's a multi-patterned teddy bear known as SCP-2295, who can make organs out of fabric and do successful organ transplants with no rejection issues." Logan explained, remembering the cute little teddy bear, covering its eyes and squirming around as it was being tickled. "There's a pair of tiny robotic eyes, known as eye pods, who follow you around like a bunch of house cats. Now only that, but there's even a coffee machine with a keyboard attached, that's able to dispense whatever you type into the keyboard." Logan explained.

"A coffee machine that dispenses anything?" Virgil asked.

"Yup. For example: I requested a cup of 'liquefied Strawberry Crofters Jam'." Logan explained.

"AND IT WORKED?!" Patton exclaimed. Logan nodded his head. Patton's eyes widened to the size of saucers. HOW DID THAT WORK?! Patton couldn't process such a thing!

"But, I do have a personal favorite SCP. I never expected to pick favorites, but..." Logan explained, before his lips morphed into a big smile that just couldn't be wiped off his face.

Patton's placed his hand on his chest. "Awwww! Did you find an adorable puppy?" Patton asked.

Roman put on a teasy sexy face. "Oooh, did someone fall for a hot and shhmmmexy SCP?" Roman asked, teasing him with a few elbow nudges.

"Guys, cool it on the guesses. Logan's gonna tell us." Virgil told them, throwing an arm out to the side, to shut them up.

"Thank you, Virgil." Logan said, fixing his tie. "And Patton?...You were the closest." Logan told him. Patton cheered on the spot, pumping his fists up in the air.

Roman looked over at Patton, and quickly wanted to keep asking questions. "Well? A dog? Or a cat? Did it have extra limbs? Or, was it a supernatural puppy with the key to the universe?" Patton asked.

Logan just laughed at his guesses. "Ihihit was no pet. It was...a glob. Of orange jelly." Logan explained. Patton's eager smile slowly dropped...and his whole face morphed into complete confusion.

"Huh?!" Patton asked.

"Yes. It's name was SCP-999. It was a glob of orange jelly, that actually had the density of peanut butter. It had the ability to stretch and bend into different sizes and shapes, but mostly preferred being in a semi-ovalled glob on the ground. It was a little bit like the glob of goo from Monsters Vs. Aliens." Logan explained.

Virgil let out a chuckle. "Really? Only it was orange and not named Bob?" Virgil asked.

"Yes. And, non-verbal." Logan added. "Now, you are going to love this next fact:" Logan said, before clearing his throat. "It has been given a nickname by the SCP scientists. SCP-999's nickname is 'The Tickle Monster'." Logan explained.

Patton's eyes widened, and a huge smile showed up on his face. "THERE'S A TICKLE MONSTER SCP?!?!" Patton shouted.

"Yes, there is." Logan replied with a smirk. "The SCP is meant to give off feelings of happiness and joy. One of its favorite activities, is tickling people. And let's just say...I got destroyed by the orange glob." Logan told them.

"Really?" Virgil asked. "So, you can now openly admit that you got tickled by an actual tickle monster?" Virgil commented.

Logan shook his head. "It's all very classified. I have to keep my mouth shut." Logan told them.

Patton frowned. "But...you just told us about it..." Patton mentioned. Logan looked around for a moment, and smiled awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

"Weeeeeelll...I gotta tell somebody, because otherwise I'm gonna lose my mind! Who can experience something like that, and NOT have someone to talk about the experience with?" Logan asked.

Patton shrugged his shoulders.

Virgil nodded his head. "He's got a point." Virgil commented.

Patton nodded, before smiling. "So, tell me more about this tickle monster glob!" Patton offered.

Logan smiled and continued to talk about him. Logan mentioned his love for candy, and how he reacted to the M&M's it got to eat. He told them about the adorable personality that the SCP possessed, and he told them about how squishy the SCP felt in his hands. "It was so strange! It felt like jello, but...not jello." Logan explained. In the end, Logan had declared that his favorite part of the trip was SCP-999, and he also explained the volunteer opportunity he had been given. Roman and Virgil cheer him on for earning himself a volunteer experience at a classified place. But Patton, while he congratulates him, seems...hurt. So, Logan happily cuddles Patton that night, to keep him calm about being away more often.

"I'll be here for about 2 weeks before heading off again. Don't worry. I'll keep you updated." Logan told him.

Patton, despite feeling like he had lost a son to society, put on a smile and nodded his head. "And I'll make sure you're all stocked up on cookies before you leave for the trip." Patton replied.

Logan smiled and gave Patton a kiss on the forehead, before continuing his cuddle session. It sounded like a nice plan, to help Patton get used to this new change...

[2 WEEKS LATER]

Logan walked into the SCP Foundation entrance behind the jet staff that escorted him off of the plane. Dr. ████ walked himself up to Logan and offered a handshake. "Mr. Sanders. We meet again." Dr. ████ said, pulling Logan into a light hug and a pat on the back.

"Thank you." Logan replied, giving his shoulder a squeeze. "But I would like to suggest something: If we are going to be working together, I would appreciate if you called me Logan, instead of Mr. Sanders." Logan told him.

"Mr. Logan?" Dr. ████ asked.

Logan chuckled. "No, just Logan. I'm not used to this Men In Black way of talking, and it kinda...draws the line for being formal to me." Logan explained.

Dr. ████ nodded and chuckled. "You relate this cooperation to the Men In Black Franchise?" Dr. ████ asked.

Logan nodded his head. "Yes! The only difference is the shiny baldness!" Logan replied confidently.

Dr. ████ laughed a little bit. "All the Security guards are advised that their hair is shaved off, to help us recognize them as one with the SCP Foundation. They were also given this advice, to try and prevent scalping incidents'. Though, that's only for the security guards. The scientists have hair nets, so they're allowed to grow hair." Dr. ████ explained.

Logan's eyes widened. Was someone scalped in this facility?! Yikes! That would be very painful!

"Yeah, I would never want to deal with that." Logan told him.

"I don't think anyone would." Dr. ████ mentioned.

After their little talk, Logan (with the help of the security guards) was brought to his room. When the room door opened, Logan walked in and placed his suitcase under his bed. When Logan was ready, one of the Security Guards gave Logan a few labelled key cards with multiple levels, and a Walkie-Talkie with the correct channel on it.

"Thank you." Logan said to the man.

"Have fun." The security guard said, before walking away. Logan walked into the room, and took some time to work on the mapping of the place. He labelled the new SCP's he wanted to meet and visit, and he also labelled the SCP's he wanted to visit again.

When he felt fully prepared, Logan picked up the map and got up to head out. When the door was closed and sealed up, Logan smiled and began walking to the right of his room. Logan focused his eyes on the first numbered containment room that was there: SCP-348. Logan places the correct key card into the slot, and for it to beep. When the green light goes off, Logan removes it and opens up the door.

Inside, there's a metal table, a wooden chair, and an empty white bowl with a spoon on the left side of the bowl. Logan, not sure what to do at first, sits down at the table and opens up his backpack. He pulls out a notebook and a pencil, and begins just writing down the SCP number, and the item it shows itself to be. Logan looks up from his notebook, and was about to lift up the empty bowl. But, he pauses himself when he feels his thumb dip into some sort of warm liquid. Logan looks up from his notebook, and blinks in surprise:

The spoon had been moved to the right side of the bowl, and the bowl itself, was full of what looked to be chicken noodle soup. Logan, surprised but curious, lifted up the spoon with his hand, put a couple noodles and broth onto the spoon, and gave it a taste test.

Logan's eyes widened. It tasted like the Campbell's* Chicken Noodle soup that Patton used to give him on sick days or cold days. Logan often appreciated Patton's gesture, and the Campbell's can of soup was always his favorite. Logan smiled happily, and ate some more of the soup. Though Logan's mind was somewhat questioning where the soup had actually came from, Logan's restless thoughts seemed to have rested, thanks to the distracting and satisfying taste of the soup.

Logan continued to eat his newfound bowl of soup, while he wrote some stuff down into his notebook. But soon, Logan began to pick his pencil up less and less, and began focusing more and more on his bowl of yummy chicken noodle soup.

Soon enough, the soup bowl was completely empty. Logan frowned at the bowl, feeling disappointed that the bowl was empty. But, Logan's frown softened when he saw that the empty bowl had a note on the bottom of the bowl.

{Get well my Nerdicorn. I love you!}

Logan's heart softened drastically. Nerdy unicorn, or Nerdicorn for short, was Patton's little nickname for him. Whenever Logan would be sick, Patton would feed him soup, encourage him to sleep in his unicorn onesie and tuck him into his galaxy bed. By the time Logan had fallen asleep, Patton would still be singing a little song to him. It changed, depending on the day. But, every song Patton would sing him, the voice would become a loving, caring and a pretty sound to hear. His voice would slowly turn angel-like, and fade away as he dozed off to sleep. By the time he would wake up again, Patton would be finishing up something and coming in to check on him. On more than a few occasions, Logan has even woken up with a stuffed animal of Patton's. Logan would always feel the urge to smile when he saw one of Patton's 'special' stuffed animals tucked into his arm. His 'special stuffed animals were the ones that Patton loved the most. They were always the more 'pampered' and most-loved stuffed animals. But, when you found one of his special animals in your arms, you immediately knew that he trusted you with them.

Logan shook himself out of his memories, and brought his focus back on the white blur in front of him. It took a second for Logan to question why his vision was blurry...but the answer quickly dawned onto him when he felt wet tears dripping down from his eyes.

Logan was crying amidst his reminiscing.

Hoping and praying that no one was watching him, Logan quickly wiped the endless amounts of tears in his eyes. Bits of tears even managed to drip into the bowl. Logan took off his glasses, placed them aside and used his shirt collar to deal with his teary eyes. Gosh...It was like having seasonal allergies again...except, with the yearning to cry replacing the chest issues.

"Hey Mr. S- Logan? You okay?" said the black thing in his pocket.

Logan looked down, and pulled his Walkie-Talkie out of his pocket. He clicked the 'call' button on the wide of the walkie-talkie, to send a message over. "Yeah, I'm alright. The soup SCP-348 gave me...made me bitter-sweetly nostalgic." Logan explained.

"Ooooh. Okay. I'll write that down and add that to SCP-348's file then. Thank you." The doctor replied.

"You're welcome." Logan said, before putting his walkie-talkie back in his pocket. Logan put his notebook and his pencil into his bag, zipped it up and threw it onto his back. All ready to go, Logan opened the door with the door button and headed out.

Logan pulled out his map, and figured out the directions towards the next room he wanted to visit again: SCP-999!

Logan smiled excitedly, and had to stop himself from sprinting in the halls. He headed up a small flight of stairs, and used his key card to open up the door at the top. Then, Logan double checked his spot on the map. When the numbers seemed to have matched the numbers on the map, Logan closed it and headed to the right side of the hallway. It took a few twists and turns, but he soon made it to the room. Logan pulled out his key card again and let the slot read the code. The door turned green and opened up. Logan excitedly ran up to the door, and restlessly waited for the slot to read his card. When it opened up, Logan ran into the room.

"999! I'm here!" Logan said excitedly. SCP-999 turned around and sprouted a huge smile onto his face. SCP-999 let out excited gurgles and quickly slid itself over to Logan and quickly pulled Logan into a big hug. "Hi! Aww, I missed you so much! Yes I did! Yes I did!" Logan reacted, quickly petting 999's head and sides, and squishing 999's cheeks eagerly. SCP-999 decided to return the loving gestures by fluffing Logan's hair, and nuzzling its face into Logan's face and chest. Logan giggled contently with a toothy smile, as his glasses fell down all askew from the nuzzling. It was too much happiness to handle! And Logan was LOVING it!

Though SCP-999 wanted to tickle Logan right away, it really wanted to see if there were any treats in his bag! Last time, Logan had given it a bag of M&M's! Is there any more treats for the gurgly SCP?

999 decided to find out. The blob placed Logan down, and used a pseudo-pod of theirs to lift up the backpack by the handle. When it wanted Logan to slip out of the straps, it tried sneaking a pseudo-pod under the man's shirt and tickling Logan on the stomach and the sides. "BAAAhahahahahahaha! Nihihine nihihihihine nihihine! Lehehehet gohohohoho-" Logan giggled helplessly, waving his arms in the air before slipping out of the backpack. Interestingly enough, 999 had readied itself for Logan's fall! It caught Logan with a second pseudo-pod, before resuming the tickle attack onto Logan's armpit. "OHOHOHO GEHEHEHEHEEZ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO AHAHAHAHARMPIHIHIHIHIHITS! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Logan shouted, already losing his mind before being placed down.

Logan quickly fell limp and practically flopped onto his back. But, Logan quickly sat himself up to look at what SCP-999 was doing. It looked like SCP-999 was snooping around in his backpack! "Hey! Get outta there! That's mine!" Logan ordered. But, the SCP didn't listen. It just began digging itself deeper and deeper into Logan's backpack. As the items in the backpack fell out of the bag, SCP-999 continued searching for more stuff before simply giving up and instead, began gurgling as the backpack sat opened on its head. Either fabric-made side of the backpack zipper was blinding 999's vision. But, 999 didn't seem to really care!

Logan just bursted into giggles at the look of the backpack on SCP-999's head. When Logan was done, he stood up again and walked up to the SCP. When Logan lifted up the backpack off the blob's head, the blob gave it a guilty, but starry-eyed look. Logan bursted out laughing at the rest of the orange glob: All the items in Logan's bag had been sucked up in the SCP's gooey insides. The orange glob let out a gurgle of pride.

"As much as this scene is adorable to see, SCP-999 is capable of digesting anything and everything it comes across. So...you might wanna remove your stuff before it becomes the SCP's dinner..." The walkie-talkie told Logan.

Logan's laughter slowed down somewhat. A toothy smile had claimed his face, and the man had to wipe a small tear from his eye. But quickly, everything clicked in Logan's mind. 999 COULD EAT HIS STUFF! Logan let out a yelp and quickly sprinted up to the glob. Logan shoved his hand into 999, and quickly began removing item after item. Despite the fact that the orange glob was made of (he assumed to be) gelatin, none of his items came out wet or stained with orange liquid! Logan lifted an eyebrow as he stared at the notebook, that he believed would be a goner. But...incredibly, it wasn't! With that underway, Logan pulled out everything else that had ended up in SCP-999. His sweater, his glasses' case, his pens and pencil sharpener, his book, everything came out dry and unscathed.

Logan giggled as he looked at the breathless creature. The removal process was very shaky, thanks to SCP-999's inability to sit still. Apparently, shoving a hand inside SCP-999 was not weird in it's eyes! It actually made the glob smile widely and gurgle in excitement! Though it didn't really make sense, it was still amusing nonetheless...That was, until 999 decided to get revenge. Now that just killed Logan with fits of giggles.

In a moment's notice, SCP-999 had spawned another Pseudo-pod arm and brought it above Logan's head and onto the back of Logan's neck. Almost as soon as the wiggly fingers started, Logan lifted his shoulders up and threw his head back in giggly laughter. "Hahahahahaha! Nohohoho neheheheheheck!" Logan giggled. Almost immediately after hearing that, 999 moved the pseudo-pod over to the side of the neck and wiggled its fingers again. Wahahahait, nohohoho dohohohohohohon't! Hehehehehehehehe!" Logan's giggles continued. Now, the pseudo-pod was tickling in all sorts of spots on the neck! The sides, the back and the the front were never left without a few seconds of unpredictable tickles. "Hahahahahaha! Cohohome ohohohohohon! Yohohohou're sohohohoho ehehehehehevihihihihihil!" Logan said through his giggles.

In an attempt to level out the playing field for once, Logan decided to try tickling SCP-999 back. But...where was he gonna start?! He couldn't decide! But, the hidden spot under the psendo-pod happened to be right in front of Logan. So, Logan shoved his hand under the pit of the pseudo-pods.

But...nothing happened. 999 didn't react. It didn't gurgle in surprise. It didn't even flinch...Logan's eyes widened. "...Oh..." Was all that left Logan's mouth. But, SCP-999 didn't start tickling him again. SCP-999 actually made new pseudo-pods and lifted them up in the air to expose the spots underneath.

Logan's eyebrows raised at the pacifism the glob was showing him. "Wait, really? You...want me to try tickling you?" Logan asked. SCP-999 gave Logan a happy gurgle in reply. 999 was actually giving Logan a second chance to try tickling it again! Logan didn't wait another second. He skittered his fingers under the 'arm' pit to try and get it to react. But, it didn't make much of a reaction!

Logan lowered his wiggly fingers down to the sides of the orange blob. Suddenly, 999 let out a surprised yelp! Logan pulled his hands back quickly, in fear of hurting it. "Sorry!" Logan exclaimed in a frightened voice. SCP-999 tilted its head to the side. It brought the pseudo-pods up to Logan's sides, and tickled them a bit. "Hehehehehehe! Ihihi thohohohought- I thought-...wait a second-" Logan reacted, before wiggling his own fingers on 999's jelly-like sides. 999 began letting out happy gurgles and shaking a little bit. Logan's confidence as a ler began to slowly get better as he tried wiggling his fingers on the belly region. The gurgily little blob continued its shaking and began curling in as more excited gurgles left its mouth.

Logan couldn't believe it! The tickle monster was TICKLISH! But- But how was that possible?! This thing wasn't human, or animal-like! It was gelatin! Pure gelatin!...right?

Logan continued tickling it as much as he could, and tried tickling other spots as well! It tried the upper side of the blob, and managed to get some hidden laughs within the gurgles! That must've been its laughter! Logan also tried the sides of where the neck should've been. In response, 999 grabbed onto Logan's lower arm with its pseudo-pods, and shut its eyes as giggly gurgles left its transparent body.

As a last spot to try, Logan walked up to the back of the blob, and tried wiggling and drumming all 10 fingers up and down the SCP's back. SCP-999 actually squealed and stretched itself up! When Logan's fingers wiggled on the SCP's lower back, 999 actually let out giggly gurgles and, get this: Bounced its body away from Logan! It didn't slide away! It full-on bounced away! It was absolutely, positively ADORABLE! Logan covered his mouth with surprise, and let out an excited squeal of his own! The blob was even cuter than he could handle!

"I-I'm sorry, WHAT?! HOW HAVE YOU MANAGED TO GET THIS CUTE!" Logan yelled, mentally unable to handle how adorable this creature was.

Hilariously, SCP-999 interpreted this yelling as excited praise from the man! So, SCP-999 bounced and gurgled for joy at the thought that 999 was a good blob!

"Can-can I cuddle you? I really wanna cuddle you. I can't wait a second longer. I have to. I need to cuddle you. I need you to know how much I love you. Can I please cuddle you?" Logan asked desperately. SCP-999 allowed Logan to cuddle them, and showed that by sliding itself over to Logan. When it was close enough, Logan hugged the SCP as hard as he could without separating any of the blob contents, and nuzzled his face into the SCP's chest area.

After a good 10 minutes of nuzzling 999, Logan got a funny little idea and wanted to try it out. Logan quickly recalled a memory of Patton tickling him and giving him little raspberries on the belly and ribs. So, Logan decided to try a little raspberry on 999! Logan took in a big breath and blew a big raspberry onto SCP-999's chest. The SCP's black little eyes and orange mouth actually widened at the weird feeling, and fell into a long fit of giggly gurgles. Not only that, but the SCP's body made jiggly ripples and almost vibrated along with Logan's raspberry!

Logan removed his mouth and breathed in, smiling genuinely as the blob shook and lightly jumped in place. The SCP seemed to love it! So, Logan did more raspberry's! He rasp-berried 999's belly area, 999's neck, 999's sides, and lastly: 999's back! Though for the back, Logan kept his raspberry short and sweet. SCP-999 made all kinds of strange but lovely little sounds! The SCP let out surprised little squeaks, lots of gurgily giggles, even gurgily laughter left the SCP's body! That SCP may be a little blob of orange gelatin, but BOY, did it make some ADORABLE sounds!

Logan ended up falling into another giggle fit from the sounds and jiggly body alone! He couldn't take it! It was so adorable and so lovable!

Despite how drugged up on happiness Logan appeared, the two companions did end up having some regular fun together. Using a tennis ball that the Doctor supplied for him, Dr. ████ asked for Logan to attempt a game of catch with the SCP. Before the game started, Logan had to introduce the inanimate object to the SCP. So, Logan started off by bringing it close to the SCP.

"This is a ball. A Tennis ball." Logan told him. The SCP looked at the tennis ball for a few seconds, before looking back up at Logan. "It bounces." Logan told him, before dropping the ball onto the ground. Logan allowed the ball to bounce around in front of it. At first, the SCP cowered away from it, and backed itself against the wall. So, Logan grabbed the ball again, and bounced it in front of himself. The ball bounced up and down, up and down, up and down in front of him, and did end up hitting Logan a few times. Despite the SCP's nervous reaction, Logan allowed the ball to bounce off him. It also showed the SCP that the ball couldn't hurt him.

Slowly, SCP-999 brought itself closer to the bouncing ball, and watched it bounce up and down with curious eyes. Logan caught it one more time, walked himself over to the ball of orange jelly, and gently dropped it onto the SCP's lower body. As soon as it made contact with the SCP, it bounced right off it like a trampoline, and right back to Logan! SCP-999's eyes widened with surprise and curiousity. Wanting to try bouncing the ball itself, SCP-999 held out a pseudo-pod to place it into. Logan smiled and placed the ball onto the top of the pseudo-pod. With his hand free, Logan pulled out his walkie-talkie and explained what just happened to the Doctor.

"SCP-999 has noticed the ball's harmless affects. It is holding the ball now, and looking at the fuzzy exterior." Logan told Dr. ████.

"Good. Very interesting..." Dr. ████ stated. Dr. ████ looked away for about 5 seconds, and looked back at the cameras. "Whahahat thehe- Hahahahaha! What is it doing?!" Dr. ████ reacted, laughing at the SCP's behaviour.

Logan was laughing as well. SCP-999 was bouncing the ball as high as it could, and was stretching and collapsing its body up and down along with it!

"Ihihit looks like SCP-999 has decided to bohounce along with it!" Logan said through a few more laughs.

In the middle of its bouncing, SCP-999 looked back at Logan, and noticed him laughing at him. But, SCP-999 didn't seem phased by this at all, and only continued to bounce around beside the ball. The SCP's body slowly began to resemble a circular ball shape, and SCP-999 began bouncing around the room! Logan only continued to laugh at the SCP's silly reaction, and walked a little closer to the bouncing SCP.

Upon noticing Logan's approach, SCP-999 smiled wider! 999 bounced itself closer to Logan, and began jumping in circles around the man! Logan had to bend down to try and catch his breath. It was such a strange, but hilarious reaction, to a ball! A BALL! But Logan DIDN'T expect however, was for SCP-999 sneak up behind Logan, wrap its arms around Logan's belly and pull him into the bouncy mass! Logan was surprised, and almost terrified at what SCP-999 was doing to him. SCP-999 was still bouncing with Logan wrapped within the bouncy mass! Logan didn't know how to react! The feeling of the floor getting farther and closer every 5 seconds was quite nauseating at first. Logan was usually never motion sick. But then again, Logan's never experienced being bounced around by someone else before. Usually if a human did this, it would be considered 'inappropriate/neglectful behaviour' that could cause whiplash. But ironically, Logan wasn't crying out in pain from any whiplash...

Despite Logan's strange reaction, Dr. ████ believed this behaviour should stop as soon as possible. He was about to try and stop the SCP's jumping in order to save Logan...But, he began to hear a voice from the cameras...

"Whooohohohoa, whohohohohoa! Sohohoho bohohouncyhyhyhyhy!"...Dr. ████ lifted an eyebrow. Wait a second...Was Logan laughing?! In excitement? Or, was he being tickled again? Dr. ████ slowly backed his finger a couple centimetres away from the room speaker. He wasn't sure what to do. "Thihihihis ihihis sohohohoho weheheheheihird! Buhuhut, Ihi lohohohove ihihihit! Thihihis ihihihis ahahahahawesohohohome!" Logan declared through adrenaline-filled laughter.

Dr. ████ moved his finger away from the button completely, and smiled.

Logan's thoughts had managed to go from 'Let me go! This is SUPER nauseating' to 'This is so much fun!' in a matter of 10 seconds! SCP-999 must've been working its magic on Logan, in order for THIS to occur.

Dr. ████ smiled and watched the scene for a bit longer, before placing his finger onto the speaker button. "Okay, SCP-999. That's enough." Dr. ████ ordered. SCP-999 paused its jumping around, and looked up at the speaker in its room. "I know you love playing with Logan, but you need to be careful, remember? Humans are easy to break." Dr. ████ told 999. SCP-999 nodded its head and placed Logan down onto the ground.

"You okay, Logan? You're not nauseous or in pain, are you?" Dr. ████ asked.

Logan was still experiencing some giggle fits from the bouncy adventure he had just been on. "Thahahahahat wahahahas ahahamahahazihihing..." Logan babbled through his giggles before rolling his eyes back and flopping backwards onto his back. The pressure of his back hitting the ground, didn't end up hurting him. It only caused Logan to burst into louder, more bubbly giggles. "He's experiencing too much euphoria. We need to get Logan out of there asap." Dr. ████ ordered. In a matter of minutes, a couple scientists opened up the door, and picked up the giggly man.

As Logan was pulled away, a third scientist came in to give SCP-999 its food. SCP-999 was left confused, and somewhat hurt from his friend's quick disappearance. No goodbye? Not even a wave? Or a smile to say he's okay? SCP-999 began to worry that it may have hurt Logan. Dr. ████ seemed to hear this guilt from the guilty gurgles that left the SCP's mouth. "It's okay, 999. Logan is alright. When Logan gets better and visits some other SCP's, you can visit him tonight. Does that sound good?' Dr. ████ compromised. SCP-999's smile and its starry-eyes came back for a few seconds at the idea. Then, SCP-999 calmed itself down enough to eat the sugary food it had been given.

It took a few minutes of tests and experiments, but Logan had managed to snap himself back into normal. When asked about Logan's experience of being bounced around like that by 999, Logan stated the following: "It was like my life was flashing before my eyes. But...it was a good space-time experience". A couple of the doctors had laughed at his strange answer, and kept it as a quote to put into SCP-999's file. Even Dr. ████ visited Logan for a bit. He told Logan that SCP-999 was worried about you, but seemed to have calmed down when he put together a second play date in a single day to make up for the strange experience.

When Logan felt a lot more coordinated and less 'overwhelmed by euphoria', Logan was sent out on his own again to visit and meet some other SCP's. Logan had pulled out his map and began to follow the map's directions towards a somewhat underappreciated SCP that Logan's been wanting to meet. Logan put his map away when he was close enough, and pulled out the key card as he walked up to the door.

[SCP-529]

The sign read. Logan inserted the key card into the slot, and waited for the slot to read the card code. When it flashed green for 'open', Logan opened the door and closed it behind him. Logan walked himself up to the window, and looked down at the SCP before walking in.

The SCP appeared to be a grey female cat with dark grey strips on its body. It appeared to be a normal, medium sized cat. But one thing difference stuck out: the backside of the cat was missing. It looked like someone had hacked off the legs and the behind of the cat, and left some fur to cover up the big hole slightly. Logan's eyes widened. No wonder this cat was in the SCP Foundation! It was living its life without the need for a prosthetic!

Logan slipped the key card into the slot, and waited for it to turn green. When it did, Logan opened up the door and poked his head into the room. The cat sat its neck up, and looked at the person that had entered its room of solitude. Logan smiled and walked into the room, and gently closed the door behind him. In an attempt to be kind to the cat, Logan knelt himself down and presented his hand to the cat to smell. In curiousity, the cat sat itself up onto its 2 feet, and walked up to Logan. Logan watched in fascination as the cat did the impossible: The cat walked like it had 2 invisible back legs! It was managing to defy all ordinary laws. This may have been a big reason as to why the cat was an SCP. Nonetheless, the cat appeared to still act like a normal cat. She proved this to Logan by sniffing his hand for a scent. Logan smiled and watched as the cat got to know him through his scent.

When the cat was done, the cat actually rubbed her face against the hand, encouraging Logan to pet her. Logan happily obliged, and began giving the cat little scritches on the ears. The cat began gently purring and closing its eyes as one of its favorite spots to be touched, was lightly scratched and massaged. The cat seemed to also like being scratched lightly on the neck. This was proven by her curling into Logan's scratches on the side of her neck. The scratching managed to make the cat curl in so much, that the cat's body flopped onto her side as she laid onto the scratching hand. Logan let out a soft giggle as he continued the scratches on the cat's neck.

As Logan scratched the cat's neck, Logan began to feel a thin cat collar surrounding the cat's neck. Grabbing onto the collar, Logan read the name tag that was on the collar:

[Josie] [If lost, call [DATA EXPUNGED].]

"Josie...That's your name, huh?" Logan asked. Logan watched as the cat lifted her head up upon hearing the specific name. Logan smiled. "I'm Logan." Logan replied. The cat brought itself up closer to Logan, and sat down. Though the hind legs were missing, the cat's position was still able to resemble about the same sitting position that every cat does. That was something that fascinated him. It was mind-boggling to him, that a cat could still sit, stand and walk around without proper hind legs. Logan smiled and removed his hand from the cat's neck before opening up his backpack. Logan rummaged around in his backpack a bit, and pulled out a light blue ball of yarn from the bag.

"Listen here, Josie. This yarn was given to me by a very special person, named Patton." Logan told the cat. Logan pointed at the yarn. "This color, is Patton's favorite." Logan told the cat further. Josie began inching her face closer and closer to the yarn, and lifted its paw up to whack it with its paw. "Patton happily sacrificed an entire ball of yarn, so that you can have something to play with. I hope you enjoy." Logan told Josie, before lightly throwing it. Josie took off sprinting and jumped at it, landing on the blue yarn with her front paws dug into it. Then, Josie began grabbing it with her teeth and started 'chasing' the ball of yarn around the room.

Logan smiled as he calmly watched the cat play with the yarn. The more that Josie played with the yarn, the more unraveled the yarn became. So soon, Josie was forced to choose between the yarn laying on her back, and the big ball of yarn sitting beside her. She quickly chose the large ball of yarn, and began tackling it around the room. Amidst the tackling and the playing, Josie had managed to tackle the ball of yarn towards the human. Logan looked down and smiled upon seeing the yarn. The cat patiently watched Logan, and readied herself to run and catch the yarn with her front paws. Logan smirked at its playful behaviour, and gave it a light throw. The cat jumped up to catch the yarn, and ended up catching it midair!

...Only for the cat to land on its side. She caught the yarn though! Logan giggled in reaction. "Good job!" Logan praised, clapping for the cat.

Josie continued to play with the yarn, and knock it everywhere around the room. Logan happily watched the cat for a few more minutes, before beginning to take his leave. The cat seemed pretty content without him around. Logan had predicted this outcome, and wasn't really hurt by it. Logan knew that the cat would recognize him as the 'person who gave him a play toy' in the future.

Logan left the room and pulled out his map. He placed his finger onto the highlighted SCP door number, and carefully dragged his finger down and around the building halls to figure out how far it was. When Logan felt confident enough to start following his path, Logan began walking and following the signs, turns, and the landmarks that were around him. It didn't take long for Logan to reach the first entry room door:

[SCP-662]

Logan pulled out his key card, and inserted it into the door slot. When it opened up and flashed green, Logan removed the key card and opened up the door. Upon seeing the second door and the window, Logan looked inside the window and raised an eyebrow in confusion. The room was just a table, a chair and a velvet bell box. That was it. Logan looked to the left, looked to the right, and finally brought himself over to the door of the chamber. Logan inserted the key card, waited for the light to turn green, and opened it up. Closing it behind him, Logan walked himself up to the velvet box, and gently removed the lid. Upon looking at the silver bell in the case, Logan immediately made his movements much more gentle. Logan reached his hand down and gripped the bell handle firmly, to avoid dropping it. Lifting it out of the velvet case it was sitting in, Logan lifted it up further to see the inside of the bell. There appeared to be no ringer inside it. Was it like this when they found it? Logan wasn't sure.

Logan, wanting to further investigate the ancient bell, began carefully looking at the smoothness of the bell. Upon first inspection, the bell seemed to be well-polished for an antique item. Though it's not refurbished, it's still better kept than some of the antique china that still exists...

Logan lifted it upside down, to look inside the bell better. The silver ball inside the bell appeared to be missing completely. The deep part of the bell was empty, and there was a little joint piece missing from the inside of the bell as well, leaving a little hole inside. Done his investigations, Logan turned the bell back around right side up. Logan was about to put the bell back into the casing, but a formal, deep voice froze Logan's movements:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sanders. How may I be of service?" the voice said behind him. Logan gasped and hugged the bell desperately, as to not drop the antique object.

"Oh my gosh. You scared me!" Logan exclaimed, before turning around to actually look at the stranger who scared him.

"I apologize, sir. Perhaps I could interest you in a glass of water to calm your nerves?" The man asked. Logan's eyes widened as he looked at the partially bald, formally dressed man in front of him. Logan just stared at the man, who appeared to be stuck in the 1900's era of life. Looking at the Butler's tray, there was a glass of water just waiting to be drank. After a good minute or so of staring at the water, Logan reached his hand up and grabbed the glass with his right hand.

With his left hand, Logan slowly reached for his walkie-talkie, and pulled it out of his pocket. He clicked the 'on' button on the side. "You guys have an English BUTLER?!" Logan yelled, smiling widely as he observed the 'de-aged' Alfred Pennyworth. Logan took a gulp of the water, and swallowed it as he waited for the doctor to reply back.

"Yes! In fact, we do! His name is Mr. Deeds. He's shown himself to do almost everything you command him. I repeat 'almost', as celebrity assassinations, cannibalism, and super large things that can't fit on his tray, are politely permitted." Dr. ████ explained.

Logan let out a hum in somewhat understanding. He placed the walkie-talkie onto the table, and removed his backpack before walking up to the butler curiously. He looked up at the butler's partly bald hair-due, and looked all the way down to the butler's well-polished shoes. Logan could tell that the owner of this butler appeared to be quite wealthy. Logan began examining the butler from the sides. There wasn't much to look at, besides his hairline and the gloves the butler was wearing. But, it was still examination nonetheless.

"If you do not need me, then I shall be going." Mr. Deeds spoke.

"You're needed right no. I need you to just stand here, so I can further examine what era you may be from." Logan told him as he headed to the back.

"Well, alright." Mr. Deeds muttered without another thought. Logan grabbed onto the shoulders of Mr. Deeds, and felt the soft material that the suit jacket was made of. "Do you remember what your suit is made of?" Logan asked.

"I do believe that this suit is made from silk. Silk was the primary fabric that would be worn among the rich. And I do remember the house I worked in had very wealthy members." Mr. Deeds told him. Logan smiled as he walked himself back to the front of the butler.

"Okay." Logan said.

"Is there anything else you would like me to do before I go?" Mr. Deeds asked.

Logan thought for a moment, and smiled. "Yes. Would you please get me a 1920's style coke?" Logan asked.

"As you wish." Mr. Deeds said, before walking out of the room. Mr. Deeds came back a few minutes later, with a glass bottle of coke with the Coca Cola logo edged into the glass bottle.

Logan picked it up and looked at the bottle. "Fascinating..." Logan commented, spinning it in his hand. Logan looked at the metal cap, and began struggling to remove it.

"A bottle opener, sir?" Mr. Deeds asked, presenting the steel bottle opener to Logan on his tray. Logan looked up and smiled as he saw the old fashioned bottle opener.

"Thank you." Logan said, picking it up and pulling the cap off with some pressure. Logan placed the opener back onto the tray before placing the cap into his pocket. Logan took a quick drink of the coke, and widened his eyes in surprise. It...actually tasted fine! A slight bit different compared to the coke they had now, but quite good for expired cola. "This is really good." Logan commented.

"I'm glad you enjoy the taste of the classic coca cola taste." Mr. Deeds said.

Logan smiled. "You can go if you like. It was nice meeting you." Logan said to him.

"Very well sir. And I to you, Mr. Sanders." Mr. Deeds said, before walking away and disappearing.

Logan smiled as he clicked the exit button on the room door, and walked out with the coke bottle partway up in front of him. Logan left the room, and smiled as he pulled out his walkie-talkie. "I think I'm ready to visit SCP-999 again." Logan told the doctor.

"sounds good. Now, I will warn you that you can't take liquids on the jet ride home. We don't want you drenching your clothes." Dr. ████ told Logan.

"I'm aware. Am I allowed to take the bottle home though?" Logan asked.

"I think that can be arranged." Dr. ████ replied.

Logan smiled. "Perfect." He replied before putting the walkie-talkie into his pocket again.

Logan happily walked himself down the halls of twists and turns, and soon reached the familiar door. Pulling out his key card, Logan did the usual card-reading routine and opened up the door. He repeated the routine with the second door, and smiled upon seeing the orange glob.

"Hi 999." Logan said eagerly. SCP-999 slid itself right to Logan, and pulled the nerd right to the cuddly monster. Logan smiled and giggled lightly as 999 nuzzled its face into his cheek. "I know. I'm okay. I feel a lot better now." Logan reassured. SCP-999 cuddled Logan for a minute more, before placing Logan onto the ground.

Eager to play with the ball again, SCP-999 picked up the ball and bounced it. Logan, thinking he was gonna be picked up and bounced again, winced and gave 999 a pity smile. "No more bouncing me. Okay?" Logan told him. SCP-999's smiled dropped slightly, before nodding and giving the ball a light throw to Logan. The ball bounced a few times as it headed over, and landed into Logan's hand.

"Would you like it back?" Logan asked. SCP-999 nodded and readied its pseudo-pods eagerly.

"Okay." Logan said, before giving the ball a light throw back to it. The ball bounced a few times, and SCP-999 had to slide around and chase it around a little bit. Logan giggled as he watched, and readied himself to catch it.

SCP-999 caught the ball, and gurgled happily at its accomplishment. Logan cheered for him. "Great job!" Logan praised. Suddenly, SCP-999 threw the ball right back at Logan! Logan gasped and threw his hands up before closing his eyes nervously. He felt a slight hit in the hand and gripped around something round. Suspecting he may have caught the ball, Logan opened his eyes.

What do you know! Logan managed to catch the ball right in front of his face! Logan smiled and lowered the hand down. SCP-999 was gurgling happily and clapping its pseudo-pods at Logan's successful catch.

Logan steadied himself, and lightly threw the ball back. SCP-999 caught it this time, and threw it back to him. The pair soon began a game of catch! And surprisingly, SCP-999 absolutely loved the game! Logan could immediately tell.

When catching the ball, SCP-999 would come up with new ways to catch the ball! it tried stretching up and catching it with its mouth, it tried catching it with stretched pods, and it even tried bouncing it back to Logan! It was a simple game, turned fun super quickly by a hyper, dog-like monster and a caring, playful human.

Near the end of the day, Logan and SCP-999 were found sleeping beside each other. SCP-999 was sleeping in its ball-shaped sleeping position, while Logan was leaning his back against the side of the ball. Despite Dr. ████'s want to get Logan to his bedroom, Dr. ████ couldn't help but notice just how cute this pairing was. So, he let them sleep together for a while. When the time turned 10, Dr. ████ left a couple lights on for the man, and gave him an LED flashlight from the 999 drop box. When the flashlight had fallen out of the drop box and onto the pillow below the drop box, Dr. ████ turned on the night vision, set the building in night mode lighting, and left the room for the night.

Tomorrow was another full day for Logan to hang out with the SCP's...

[fuck-customers]

Respect us, without us you'd be fucked.

( Many apologies if the box is closed! Work makes me miss a lot of updates. )

Pregnant lady working at doggy daycare here. Good news! Baby was born on his due date, happy and healthy ( Thank god because of the falling at work... )

Just more general fuck managers nonsense. I didn't get to enjoy my leave to the fullest because guess what - Big Boss dude screwed up my lave pay. Yaaay. Nothing like stressing about rent and bills because you don't get your first check for 2 months. THEN, have the audacity to say "Oh your last paycheck was [date]. See you when you come back!"

Like ??? I understand your main job is a real estate agent, and you never feel the need to come into THE FACILITY YOU OWN TO WORK ON CRAP... actually, I don't understand, because I make a measly 9.50 an hour  after busting my ass doing literally every position in the facility but you know. Whatever? I nee both my paycheck and my husbands to pay our nearly 1300 dollar rent. ( That's with income based in Jersey... still better than the 1700 for a studio. I miss Indiana's 300 rent. lmao )

After I came back I gave specific instructions that I can only work 8:30-5:30 shifts. Why? Daycare. Wanting to spend time with my child and husband. You know family things. Why the fuck are my managers putting me on a 2 - 10 shift?? Like,no. I refuse. Don't tell me "oh we still can't accommodate you. It wouldn't be fair to the employees." It wasn't fair to me when I was pregnant, and it definitely isn't fair to me now because you allow 2 brand new workers to come in at 4:30 instead of 1:50 when they're scheduled EVERY DAY.

Also, it must be nice, J, to take 2 week long vacations every 3 months because you have so much money. Must be nice to have a set schedule that you won't allow me to have because "no one has a set schedule besides me, T, and L." Actually, from the schedules I've seen, the only ones who don't have a set schedule are me and B.

I'm just trying to get something consistent for my baby. Hell, the 9.50 as said isn't worth it, especially considering I've been punctured TWICE from breaking up dog fights.Yes, I rather be bit than the dogs but come on. There's no respect. I get 11 while doing office shifts ( Not allowed to have that when working with the dogs ), but it's still not enough in Jersey. Not to mention my Husbands entire family is banned because they tried to stand up for me when I was pregnant. I'd be fired if they stepped in.

... Please step in. I give permission

My dog also got red carded because she defended herself when a dog attacked her. Dog got off scott-free because they pay so much money. But my dog only gets 1 chance instead of 3, while the high paying dogs get 7+ and get to maul 4 dogs because being red. Yeehaw!

Jokes on you, you'll be missing a Dog Handler, Office member, and a pet Taxi assistant. I also groom the dogs. Also your only licensed Pet Taxi driver will be leaving soon too because you treat him terribly. Have fun!

Thankfully I have put in my two weeks. It's not worth it. I deserve better, my baby deserves better. It's not worth the stress or the crying. Thankfully I have an interview today for a Vet Tech position ( My dream job! ), and I also have a job with the City pending. ( 15 an hour? paid days off? Actual sick days and benefits? A consistent morning M-F schedule? Take me now! )

Thank you for letting me rant! Stay strong everyone!

I Can't Think Of A Creative Title [Mao Mao Spoilers]

SUGAR BERRY FEVER

BULL MONSTER? YEEHAW GIDDY-UP

Oh the Hero's Code IS a real book! Made by Mao's family no less! Cool

I'm gonna say it now. The pirate aunt's kinda cute.

I don't know much about cobbler but I'm pretty sure you don't put it in a trough

*screaming interspaced by cobbler eating*

Why exactly is eating cobbler against the Hero's Code? Did the first person in the Mao clan really hate cobbler or something?

"If I could have that cobbler, I would do things to it that would make my ancestors cry in shame." JESUS CHRIST HOW'D THEY GET AWAY WITH THAT

"Buuut I can't!" Am I the only one who thinks he sounded like Thomas Sanders when he said that

"Has anyone told you that you have issues?"

(Mao ominously hovers into the kitchen with glowing eyes while creepy wails play in the background) Nothing to see here.

The thing Mao's eyes do when he goes 'Oooooo' like if you agree

Apparently Badgerclops' biggest fear is 'crushing self-doubt'. Oooooo.

Tbh I had the same reaction as Mao when the cobbler started talking

I don't like where this is going...

UNCLE JIM-JIM?!

OH NO IT'S THE SCRIBBLY EYES

Okay but if Mao passed out in the kitchen how'd he get in the living room? Badgerclops couldn't have moved him because then he would've known he ate the cobbler

And that's, what, the second table Badgerclops has destroyed?

Cool, HQ has security cam - oh nevermind.

If Badgerclops and Adorabat saw the cobbler on Mao's mouth why didn't they assume he ate it? It wouldn't be there otherwise

"Ah know ah wooould :)" Sassy Adora

"And you're going by yourself. That's okay, I'm emotional anyways."

NYAAAMN NYAAAMN NYAAAMN

So the Sugar Berry Fever is literal? Like, an actual condition caused by eating cobbler? Is that why it's against the Hero's Code? And why didn't Badgerclops and Adorabat get it?

DOUBLE JOINTED BABEY!!

BEARCLOPS HAS RETURNED for like 2 minutes.

I know we makes jokes about Mao going feral but he ABSOLUTELY went feral in this episode. CBS incarnate.

Ok that's really sad. Why would you make a child destroy the thing they love and force their siblings to watch?! At least one of the sisters looks a little hurt over it.

Aaand the Bull Monster's back of course. And it has the fever too? Suspicious.

I don't wanna say where my mind went here but you probably know what I mean

ADORABAT BARKING I'M

B!TCH WENT SUPER SAIYAN - I mean GOLDEN TRUTH

If only fighting your demons was as easy as shoving a cobbler down their throat.

Are we gonna see Golden Truth Mao in the future? I like the he

Mao probably crashed the moment they got home ngl

CAPTURED CLOPS

Those stealth boots look like weird cleats.

"Stealth boots aren't toys." "Then why are mine colored like toys?" "I found them at the toy store." Isn't that a contradiction-

He used to be a villain what did you expect

HE DIDN'T SAAAVE

If BC's chores are fixing the Aerocycle and grocery shopping, what do Mao and Adora do?

"I need to be away from you right now before I LOSE IT on you." Is that a callback to The Truth Stinks or Legend of Torbaclaun? Both?

Yay another BC song, with some casual boulder-chucking

Aww the Sky Pirates are swimming together. Fambly.

BADGERCLOPS GETTING ATTACKED BY A TITMOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND ASDFGHJK

Yes, follow the cute but suspicious puppet that totally isn't trying to murder you

What's with the glowy eyes and creepy autotune?

So running away and cry-singing into a lake is normal for Badgerclops? Damn why isn't HE in therapy

MOM-MOM

You heard it here folks, BC is canonically depressed

That was quick

HOUSE MUSIC ELECTRONICA! And can we get uhh Orangusnake in the 90s?

Dang they still don't have any food? What happened to Mama Ratarang's meatballs?

ORANGUSNAKE WHAT THE HECK

I know it's supposed to be kinda sad but the imaginary food is really shiny.

So he'll fix the Sky Pirate's ship but not the Aerocycle? Priorities, priorities...

Mao and Adora Have Become Ninjas

HOSS WATERBOARDING THE PUPPET I

*Jaws theme*

"I love house music!" Trust me, I know.

DON'T HURT YOUR CO-HERO AND KID BC LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS

They're gonna take the Pure Heart? Weren't they trying to destroy it a couple episodes ago? Oh god what if Badgerclops DID get the Ruby Pure Heart's powers... that'd be scary

I can see the Badgersnake fics now

Mao fixed the Aerocycle - oh nevermind.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION

"How'd you get over here so fast??" "Badgerclops, I walked over here. Casually." Reminds me of a girl I used to know.

Hmm. Should've known the Sky Pirates not eating anything would've had side-effects

So the Sky Pirates could've just. Bought groceries. But chose not to.

"Aren't you forgetting something BIG?!" "*sighs* Thank you for having me" I mean at least he's polite??

How'd he manage to plug the ship into Benny and Penny's house though? And how'd it WORK?!

"Those guys are a little too relaxed" -cuts to the Sky Pirates panicking-

FLYAWAY

Aww, family training exercises - OH NO ADORABAT

Nevermind she's okay she just chipped a tooth.

'Physics...recital?' Do 5-year-olds even study physics? Is Adorabat a child prodigy?

Adorabat can face giant monsters but can't stand the dentist? Is she secretly Goku?

Aww, Mao still has one of his old plushies and he kisses it

I like that book it looks like there's a gemstone on it

Meditating Melvin, because you can't have enough alliterative names.

STAHP IT >:(

(Insert ASCENDED meme here)

Adora: *masters a technique that should take years* ight i'mma head out

WHY WOULD YOU DROP HER FROM THAT HIGH? BAD PARENTING BC

OH GOD THEY'RE GONNA KILL HER. good thing her soul isn't in her body huh

Oh look it's the Meditating Melvin guy. And he gives me strong Wander over Yonder vibes.

Being in the Astral Plane causes you to lose your memories?? Dang Adora better get out fast

Time for a song that TOTALLY isn't a desperate cry for help!

Bugs, smoke bombs, and popping balloons with pikes. These are the things used to summon Adorabat.

Wait, how come Adorabat doesn't feel any of the pain she sustained when Mao and BC were trying to return her soul to her body?

Yaaay Adorabat got over her fear and is ready to go to the dentist - OH MY GOD THAT IS UNCALLED FOR

THAT ENDING I

Wait a minute. If Mao said the technique took years to master, but Adorabat and Badgerclops both achieved it in under a day...does that mean they're more spiritually inclined than him or there's something preventing him from ascending?

BAOST IN SHOW

If I'm honest, I misread the title as 'Boast in Show', which made more sense at the time.

Why is Snugglemagne playing discus by himself though? Where's Quinton?

OH $H!T IT'S BAO BAO

Snugglemagne: it's free dog (and royal pet show)

"You're my new best friend!" Ooh boy.

"If he leaves me a third time, who knows what could happen? I might explode, LITERALLY" Mood

Literally everyone in PHV knows Badgerclops, how does changing his ear shape and putting on a leash count as a disguise. The guards could tell who Penny and Benny were why not him

Adorabat has a pet fly asdgdgffkh

Hey Chet's back

I don't want to imagine all the weird fanart and fanfics that'll come from this scene. Actually from this episode in general.

Whoever wins keeps Bao AND BC?! WHAT THE F-

Aww bento - OH NO ADORA ATE THE FLY

THAT 'DON'T STOP ME NOW' PARODY

IT'S THE SUIT FROM THE CONCEPT ART!

"I'm not actually a pet." "I know." Then why didn't you say anything??

Yay, Mao and Bao are reunited - nevermind Bao just wanted BC's snacks.

HE ACTUALLY EXPLODED and took it shockingly well I'm surprised

Well Mao, you did it. You pissed off Snugglemagne again.

Those combo attacks are freaking GENIUS

I'm tempted to make a "Long live the king" joke when Bao Bao bites Snugglemagne's arm

"I TOLD YOU HE'S TRAITOROUS"

At last, Mao truly forgives Bao and is willing to let him go

"Until next time." Is Bao Bao gonna come back??

Snugglemagne tortures people by forcing them to listen to his harpsichord? Does that even count as torture? And is Mao gonna get them out?

A Reznor Family Christmas Part One

///A story with more fluff than non-fluff, but I hope you guys like it. Merry Christmas. The second part will hopefully be out tomorrow.///

“Welcome home, Ebony!” Alyss exclaimed happily at seeing her daughter walk into their home south of Atlas on the snowy continent of Solitas.

“Hi mama! Hi papa!” Ebony greeted back and walked into the house, then she was hugged by both her parents, “We’re here for Christmas!” She said as Sakura and Wave walked into the living room, closing the door behind them. Boo crawled up from one of the pockets of Sakura’s hoodie under her jacket, then she took her jacket off while Talon flapped his wings and flew to her other shoulder.

“We see that,” Jace laughed and hugged both his mate and daughter tighter, “Oh it’s so good to see you again, cub. And you kids too.”

“You too, Jace.” Sakura said to who she one day hoped would be her father-in-law.

“Thank you for having me,” Wave said to Jace with a small, thankful smile, “It means a lot this year, considering…”

“You disowned yourself from that horrible couple,” Alyss finished for him, “You don’t have to thank us, dear. We’re happy to let you celebrate Christmas with us.”

“And me, my mom and dad too,” Sakura said and gave him a side hug, “Double Christmas for you.”

“And you.” Jace said with a grin as he looked over to her from the hug.

“And me!” Ebony cheered, “Oh, mama, papa…” She gave a devious little smile, “Look up~”

Both her parents looked up and gave matching smiles at seeing the mistletoe hanging from her collar. “Ooh she got us, Aly.” Jace said.

“Mmm yeah, she did~” Alyss giggled, then she and Jace looked at each other and shared a tender, loving kiss under the mistletoe.

“Yaaay~” Ebony giggled and hugged her parents more, “You both are so adorable together.”

“Second cutest couple right behind you and Sakura.” Wave remarked.

“Oh stop.” Sakura said and playfully pushed him away, but she couldn’t help but giggle.

After another few moments, Jace and Alyss broke their kiss off and the three let go of the hug, and then Pepper came forward and hopped up, putting her front paws on Ebony’s thighs. “Aww miss me, girl?” Ebony asked with a smile, then she leaned down and picked her husky up in her arms to hug, “I missed you too~”

Sakura placed a hand on Ebony’s lower back and smiled at what she heard from Pepper’s light ruffs. “I’m so glad to see you again, Ebony!” Ebony and Sakura heard in their minds.

Ebony giggled as Pepper licked her on the cheek. “I’m glad to see you too, Pepper.”

“Who is this?” Both Boo and Talon asked, Boo in fear while Talon asked curiously.

“This is Pepper,” Sakura said and petted the old husky, “You both are gonna love her. She’s the sweetest dog ever.”

“And one of the best cuddle buddies!” Ebony cheered.

“I-if you say so…” Boo squeaked.

Talon let out a few light cackles and Sakura and Ebony heard him laugh. “Oh you are a fearful little mouse, aren’t you?”

Boo squeaked at him. “You would be too if you were smaller than everything!”

That caused Ebony and Sakura to begin laughing as Pepper let out a huff. “Cute little mouse~”

Wave went over to Jace and Alyss as Ebony and Sakura listened to the animals and smiled at them, reaching into the large bag he brought and he handed them both presents he had bought them and wrapped. “Merry Christmas. I wanted to get you both something to thank you with.”

They both took the presents and smiled back at him. “Thank you, Wave. That’s nice of you.”

“What’s Christmas without gifts?” Wave said and chuckled lightly, and he hugged the aging couple, “I’m happy you both are letting me share this Christmas and New Year with you. It means a lot.”

Both of them returned the hug warmly. “If it wasn’t for Rivy and Ulysses, we’d adopt you, sweetheart,” Alyss said and patted him on the back, “But, that doesn’t mean you aren’t already a part of our family.”

Wave smiled even more as a few tears rolled from his eyes. “Gods, it’s a good family to be a part of.”

“I think you’ll like the gifts we got you.” Jace said with a grin.

“You didn’t have to get me anything. I’m just happy you let me be here.”

“Oh quit that,” Alyss said lightly, “We’re more than happy to let you stay with us, and we wanted to do this for you.”

Wave gave a smile and just a few more tears fell down his cheeks. “Th-thank you. You guys are like a second family to me.”

“Just call me mom.” Alyss said.

Jace chuckled. “And call me dad.”

Ebony and Sakura stepped over to them and looked over at the space next to the television that had been cleared out. “Hmm where’s Genny?” Ebony asked.

“Asleep in his bed,” Alyss answered as she and Jace let go of Wave, and Jace took him to find some covers for the couch he’d be sleeping on, “I’m surprised he didn’t wake up from your motorcycle. Speaking of that…”

“It was very awkward.” Sakura giggled, knowing what Alyss was going to ask.

“I wanna go change out of these pants,” Ebony said and wiggled her hips a bit in discomfort, “These things are tight and annoying.”

“You know…” Sakura said with a blush as Ebony set Pepper down on a couch, bending over to do so and showing off her nice, squishy butt in the pants, “Y-you could leave them on for a while longer…”

Ebony blushed brightly at what her girlfriend said and straightened her back, and she cleared her throat a bit. “M-m-maybe I can.”

Alyss laughed and hugged the giantess around the waist in a side hug. “Oh you both are just the most adorable couple. Now…” She watched Jace and Wave leave the room and she smiled, “Let me tell you both our gift for Wave…”

X x X x X

Ebony placed the tree down in its holder on the floor and grinned as she straightened it out. It was a large fake tree in one piece, not a real one, but it held a lot of value to Jace considering it was the very same one his father used for their holidays when he was a child, and one he would always use in Haile’s memory. When Ebony as done with that, Alyss got down on her knees and reached under it to spread out a red blanket around the base of it. It was the blanket her mother had sewn and it was always used for this during Alyss’ childhood, and she continued to do it in her mother’s memory. When she finished spreading it out, the decorating began. Ebony quickly and easily wrapped a couple sets of Christmas lights around the tree from top to bottom, then a few long strings of tinsel in silver, blue, green, and red were wrapped around the large tree.

After that, everyone joined in decorating it, even little Genesis as Alyss held him so he could put numerous different ornaments on it ranging from little bulbs to angels. He enjoyed doing it and to see the tree transform from a simple tree to something beautiful for his first Christmas ever, and he had a big smile on his face at seeing so many pretty decorations, especially the tinsel, which he couldn’t stop himself from feeling.

And with the tinsel of course came some fun between the two couples. When Wave was spending some time with Genesis and Pepper on the couch while Talon was perched on the back of the couch and Boo was sitting between his talons, Alyss and Sakura shared a look and had the same idea. With some spare tinsel, they both wrapped them around Jace and Ebony’s shoulders respectively and pulled them down for kisses. Wave knew what was going to happen and he already had Sakura’s camera out to take a picture, and he did. But, with that came a bit of jealousy as he didn’t have either one of his girlfriends, and it made him a bit sad. But seeing everyone so happy kept Wave’s spirits up, and he kept a smile on as decorations were finished.

That bit of tinsel fun came before Genesis had gotten a hold of some of it as well, and before anyone knew it he had gotten himself all tangled up in it and was stuck on the floor, and Pepper was looking at him curiously as her tail thumped against the couch. That brought joyous laughs from everyone as Genesis whined adorably and mewled as he struggled to get free, but only making it worse. Sakura just had to take a video of the moment on her scroll. While everyone was distracted by that, Ebony was left on her own and somehow she had been tangled up in a bunch of it herself while everyone was focused on Genesis. Ebby just couldn’t help herself after seeing her baby brother get himself tangled up in it.

“Umm…”

That made everyone turn around and then they all laughed even more, and Genesis giggled happily at seeing the same thing happen to Ebony while Pepper ruffed lightly as her tail wagged as if she was taking joy in the sight as well. Wave went to work on freeing Ebony while Sakura just giggled and laughed behind her scroll, turning her video to Ebony. It had happened so quickly too and that was even better! While Wave helped get Ebony out of the tinsel, he remarked that Christmas must have come early for Sakura, and that made the two girls blush hard. But the tiny and giant kitten were eventually freed and they slowly went back to work on decorating, lining the railing of the stairs behind the television with tinsel and fixing up the gift area under the tree.

Then…

“Who’s putting the star up?” Jace asked as he finished putting up three special ornaments. One that was his, one that was his brother’s, and one that was his father’s.

Alyss hummed as she did the same, putting her own and her mother’s ornaments up before pausing with her own father’s, something she couldn’t help but do every year. “How about Genesis and Sakura?”

Genesis’ ears perked up at the mention of his name and Sakura just looked surprised. “Me?”

“Yes, you,” Alyss said with a smile before putting her father’s ornament up with her mother’s, “Both you and Genesis putting it up at the same time. Two new members of our family.”

“I like that idea!” Ebony said excitedly, “What about Wave?”

Alyss looked over to him and her smile got a bit bigger. “Of course he can join too. If he wants to, that is.”

Wave gave a smile as his ember eyes glowed a warm glow, and Genesis looked at them in wonder. “I’d be happy to… mom.”

Wave picked Genesis up and walked over to Ebony and Sakura. Then, Ebony picked them both up around their waists and Sakura helped make it comfortable for Genesis, and she was handed the golden star. She held it between herself and Wave and he took hold of his side of it, knowing what the plan was, but Genesis just looked confused.

“Alright, Genny,” Ebony began to explain to him, “Grab a hold of the star where Saki and Wave’s fingers are. They’ll help you put the star on the tree, okay?”

“‘Kay…” Genesis replied and held onto the star with his tiny hands.

Ebony leaned forward with everyone and her teammates slowly moved the star for Genesis, and thet all placed it on top of the tree. Wave and Sakura let go, then Genesis slowly let go as well and the star was set. Genesis smiled and clapped his hands, then Sakura gave him scritches and he started to purr loudly as Ebony set them all down and Sakura held Genesis in her arms.

“Welcome to the family, kids,” Jace said to Wave and Sakura, then he heard a knock on the door and Genesis’ purring stopped, and Jace grinned, “Right on time.”

Jace went over to the door and opened it up to see two figures with brown waist-length cloaks and hoods standing there and one held an Atlesian Shepherd puppy in her arms. “I’m glad you two got here alright.”

“Thank you for inviting us.” The woman said and set the puppy down, and she immediately let out a happy bark and ran for Wave as the woman took her hood off to reveal black, blue and turquoise-tipped hair.

The man took his hood off as well, revealing his shaggy brown hair. “After telling us who else was going to be here, how could we say no?”

“It’s good seeing you again, Ulysses,” Jace said to him with a smile, then turned to the dragon Faunus, “You too, Rivy.”

“Mom, dad?” Wave said and looked at them both in surprise, and he looked down at the puppy that was barking happily, “H-hey Momo.” He said and reached down to pet the puppy, who Pepper was looking curiously at and who Genesis was hiding from in Sakura’s arms. Talon was just looking at Momo while Boo hid behind his leg.

“Our gift to you, Wave,” Alyss said with a smile and put a hand on his shoulder, and she noticed his eyes had brightened considerably, “Christmas with Rivy and Ulysses.”

Wave blinked a couple times as tears filled his eyes. He couldn’t stop them from trailing down his cheeks once more, giving a few more headpats to Momo. “Th-thank you, Alyss…”

“No need to thank us,” Alyss replied, “Just go hug your parents.”

Wave didn’t need any other invitation and he rushed over to them, and he hugged Rivy and Ulysses tightly after they set their weapons at the door. Both of them immediately returned the hug, with Ulysses squeezing tighter. The three stayed in that embrace for several long, silent moments as Jace closed the door for them and went back over to Alyss, and Sakura and Ebony smiled at seeing the touching moment between the family. It was all the more special considering the three could very, very rarely be together like this. Especially on a holiday.

“This was a really sweet thing you guys, did.” Sakura murmured to Jace and Alyss.

Alyss leaned her head against Jace’s shoulder. “It was the least we could do after we heard about what happened. He deserves this.”

“We also have two people for Genny to get used to,” Jace said with a smile as Genesis tried to hide his face in Sakura’s chest, and he knelt down to pet the growing dog, “And a puppy. I’m glad it was easy to get him used to Boo.”

Ebony smiled brightly at seeing the scene in front of her. “You and mama are the best.”

X x X x X

Christmas Eve came quickly a couple of days later. Some presents were under the tree and ready for the next morning while some were hidden away to be set under the tree later. Boo had a lot to be fearful of, even if she had gotten to know Momo and Pepper. But she was okay with Genesis, considering he had held her a bit and was very light with his touches and careful with her after Sakura said for him to. It was nice for the desert mouse. Talon had to resist his urge to go roost in the tree after Sakura told him he couldn’t because of those bulbs and fuzzy things called “decorations”. He had resigned himself to either perch on the back of the couch Sakura sat on, or on the railing of the stairs.

Wave’s eyes never lost their glow the whole time he was with his parents, talking with them both like a family and they all shared different stories with each other about their lives recently and Wave told them both about how he had two girlfriends and that was something Ulysses had laughed in joy at, because he knew his son had two girls to be happy with.

Speaking of that…

“Knock knock~” A certain Rough Collie puppy Faunus said in a singsong voice when she opened the front door, followed by her parents who waved at everyone, “I heard a living heater was here for Christmas~”

“Well it’s about time,” Alyss said with a light laugh, “We were struggling to keep your visit a surprise to Wave.”

“This is your other gift?” Wave asked with a happy tone in his voice, “Light, Christmas definitely came early for me.”

“Can’t you guys knock for once?” Jace asked his brother and his family, rolling his eyes at them all, “I mean really, it’s common courtesy.”

“I’m your brother, so I don’t have to knock.” Alex replied with a grin.

“And I’m your darling sister-in-law, so same.” Aulin smirked and stuck her tongue out before closing the door.

“And I’m your sweet little niece,” Carlisha said before hopping over the back of the couch and dropping next to Wave, her legs draped over his lap, “So, miss me, Hot Rod?”

Wave grinned at the nickname. “Like you wouldn’t believe after seeing all these couples around me.”

Carlisha tilted her head a bit at the sight of Momo on Wave’s other side, “Or… have you gone and replaced me, hmm?” She asked, feigning hurt and giving the puppydog eyes.

Wave laughed and gave her some headpats. “Nothing’s ever replacing you, babe. If only Aerial was here too.”

The two shared a hug and Wave warmed his girlfriend up, making her tail wag happily as everyone shared greetings with each other and sat down to watch a movie together. Ulysses was happy to know that he already knew at least one of Wave’s girlfriends, and Rivy was surprised that she didn’t know about it sooner but she was happy the two looked so comfortable together. Jace and Alyss served everyone some hot chocolate with little marshmallows in it, and Ebony and Genesis enjoyed theirs an equal amount. Sakura, with a blush on her face, wished that she could add a bit of cinnamon flavor to her drink. Cookies were another thing that Alyss had brought out for everyone and they were gone in a matter of minutes, which made her happy since it was rare that she made them and to see everyone happily dig in like that made her smile.

Carlisha and her parents had brought a few different gifts in and they were put under the tree, with a few things being put in the stockings hanging from the walls around the tree. Ebony had discretely taken a mistletoe and tied it around the tip of her tail, then she moved it above Carlisha and Wave’s heads, nearly completing the secret mission set out to do which was get all the couples to kiss under the mistletoe. Rivy tapped Wave on the shoulder and pointed up to the mistletoe, and he looked up and grinned. Carlisha followed his gaze and saw the tip of her cousin’s tail wiggling around with the decoration on it, then she followed tradition and looked at Wave, then she pulled him close to her and gave him a light, long kiss.

The day was filled with many, many laughs and shared stories between everyone. Alyss told of the time she fully grew a child’s arm after he had been born without one, Jace told of the time he had gotten his sword stuck in a Goliath’s head, and Alex and Aulin told of the time where he battled a Sea Dragon in the air and killed it while he weaved through a barrage of dust attacks from Aulin. Sakura told everyone that she was planning to try to sing for the citizens of Kuo Kuana to help spread some holiday cheer at home. They would have talked more but it was getting late, and they all decided to turn in for the night so they could wake up early in the morning, especially Jace since he had to fly to the city for a very special gift.

Everyone wished each other goodnight, and everyone gave Genesis goodnight scritches, which he purred deeply at. After everyone settled down on the couches that were sleeping on them, which were Wave and Carlisha, and Alex and Aulin while Rivy and Ulysses laid on sleeping bags between the couches, the lights of the living room were turned off, and the lights of the Christmas tree lit up beautifully with numerous flashing bulbs of blue, green, white, red, and gold shined against the plastic bristles and decorations of the tree and the star was magnificent, powered by dust to make beautiful streams of silver, blue, and green to swirl around it. It was expensive, but Jace and Alyss couldn’t wait to see Genesis’ reaction to it in the morning. In the middle of the room next to the coffee table were all the animals all huddled together. Pepper laid in the center while Momo laid behind her with her head laying over Pepper’s neck, Boo was laying on Pepper’s head, and Talon used Pepper’s paw as a roost, his talons wrapped around the paw but the tips not irritating the husky at all.

Of course Sakura had to take a picture of that before bed.

Finally, Ebony and Sakura were in the former’s room, both changing into their pajamas. While Sakura’s back was turned, Ebony snuck up behind her and raised her tail high so the tip was above them both, and she turned Sakura around and lifted her up. Sakura squeaked in surprise from the sudden action, and she saw Ebony’s playful smile and then she looked up to see the mistletoe. Ebony didn’t waste a second and captured Sakura’s soft, warm lips in her own for a light kiss. And now, Ebony’s mission was accomplished. Sakura hummed happily and lightly kicked her feet back and forth as she wrapped her arms around Ebony’s shoulders, and both girls closed their eyes as the kiss very slowly got deeper and more passionate, but Sakura let out curious-sounding hum before she broke the kiss off, leaving a trail of saliva running between their lips.

“So…” Sakura said as Ebony let her down, “I’ve been wondering something all day.”

Ebony tilted her head, one ear flattening to the side. “What’s that?”

“Just what am I supposed to do about this~?” She asked in a teasing tone and lifted a finger up to point at the mistletoe hanging from Ebony’s collar, “I mean, there’s a few things that it’s hanging above…”

Ebony blushed a bit in understanding of what Sakura meant. “O-oh, I guess it could mean that hehe…” She laughed a bit nervously. She still got flustered over things like this, and Sakura loved it. It was so cute.

Sakura stood on her toes and grabbed a light hold of Ebony’s breasts, then she gave a light kiss to each one. “Hmm, that’s two down…”

She knelt down slightly and slowly lifted Ebony’s nightgown up, and she pulled her panties down and let out a gasp and she cooed softly. “Aww that’s adorable! You got me another present~” She said in remarks to the small green ribbon lightly wrapped around Ebony’s member.

Ebony squeaked a bit in response. “Y-yeah. D-d-do you l-like it?”

Sakura giggled and placed a kiss to the tip of Ebony’s dick, earning a mewl of pleasure from the kitten. The kiss was short, but it was so warm and soft that it made Ebony’s member twitch a few times. “I love it~ So Ebby…” Sakura looked up into her girlfriend’s eyes, “Does my Christmas come early too?”

[way-to-go-lad]

Hiya Jules!

I am so proud of you for pushing past your struggles and coming out on top. It’s not an easy thing to do, nor admit to yourself. The first step is always the hardest!

“The Cry of the Icemark” takes place in a fantasy world during the medieval period. A young princess’s kingdom must go to war and she sets off on a quest to acquire allies from the surrounding kingdoms. She comes across wizards, vampires, werewolves and other mysterious creatures whom she was sworn to stay away from. After a grand adventure, the story ends with the battle. It’s written in such a picturesque way and I’m such a sucker for fantasy. I first read it when I was 14 and it’s stayed at the top of my list since!

Adele is a good one! I don’t know if I would personally classify her as a pop artist because there’s so much soul and honesty behind her lyrics and the way she sings. I adore her.

It’s kinda funny how grounding being out in nature can be! I’m so glad you have that outlet and a place to go where you can be free.

The most recent success I had was probably playing the bass. I got it yesterday and not only am I already hooked, but I’m able to play quite a few different songs just by studying the tablature and hearing the beat.

Art is beautiful because of its individuality. Its ability to be perceived by the viewer as however they connect with it. Art doesn’t have to have a story or a meaning, it just has to be and it will be appreciated.

Absolutely! I’m a firm believer that we are here on this earth to learn from our mistakes and grow as conscious beings. The end goal is love and peace. Until we have that, I feel as though we are destined to keep being born in order to learn how to overcome and find a certain oneness with the rest of humanity.

Question time!

What is your favorite kind of tea and how do you make it?

Do you have any pets and can you tell me about them?

You’re at a GVF concert and you get barricade. You cannot choose Jake’s side. Do you stand dead center or do you choose Sammy’s side? Why?

I hope you’re having a great day! I cant wait until our next thread. ❤️

xx

#secretsanta10

Hello love! How are you?

Thank u for being proud of me! I'm really trying to improve and come out as a better human. I still have so much to learn.

Fantasy is my fave genre of books so this one for sure is going on the list for books to read. It seems very intriguing and i look forward to reading it!! Thanks 💚

That's really how the world classifies her music. But she said herself that she's very inspired by blues and soul, she loves the way country songs tell the story too. So she's not straight up pop, i love that she's so open minded when it comes to music.

Nature is truly a gift that we often overlook. Do you have a special place that u like to go to connect with nature?

Yaaay, I'm so proud of you!!! Do you like to play bass or guitar more?

I love the fact that art can connect people too. Like so many people relate to so many artworks and I think it's a beautiful sight to see. It actually defines us as humans too.

I agree with u so much! I think it's never a bad time to learn and grow and improve. People should educate themselves not because they have to, but because they want to. I think we should all remember that we're all on this togheter and love is important.

1. My favorite kind of tea is either green tea or earl grey tea. I love to add lemon or honey or lactose free milk.

2. I have 4 pets. Three doggos and one kitty.

-Kluska- she's a dog that we saved and she's about 6 months old now. She cannot go through a day without cuddles and is very happy doggo

-Bolek- he's technically my sister's dog, but I spend the most time with him. He's very stubborn and loves to sleep all day. He's a yorkshire terrier and he's 2 years old

-Amigo- he's my beloved fave doggo. He's a rescue dog, very protective and smart. He won't let anybody other than my family come close to me. He's 7 and lives only for food and cuddles 😄

-Helga- she's an elderly cat, that was homeless so we took her home. Now she thinks she's the queen of the house and would eat all day if she could.

3. I'd probably stand dead center, just because I love to see the way Josh gets so into their music while they're performing. I love the way he dances and interacts with fans <3

Now it's time for questions for you:

1. Do you have pets and can u tell me smth about them?

2.What is your most treasured memory?

3. Would you change the past if you could?

4. Do you have a fave piece of poetry and what does it mean to you?

I really look forward for your replies!! hope your day is magnificent <3

Lots of love,

~Jules

I was tagged for this thing by @ladyblargh!  New post so it isn’t a long post chain. It’s supposed to be an ask thing but lol sideblogs so I’ll also be tagging at the end since otherwise, everyone will be like “I don’t even know this kid.” 

1. Irrelevant to everyone reading this but FIRST and FOREMOST will always be this one group of glorious bastards I call friends who I love and would DIE FOR and THROW DOWN FOR. This family I wasn’t born into—this family, we all chose each other.

2. Strange little surprises that Just Happen... examples:

Out of nowhere sudden summer drizzles (or heavy showers!!!)

A dude was walking his dog off leash, called to ‘Jango’ (?) to not go too far ahead. Dad on his bike with a baby tent thing trailed to it whizzed past and yelled, “DJANGO UNCHAINED!”

I was preoccupied, looking down at phone. I hear this... Harmonica? No, not quite... I turned and this guy was casually trotting down the sidewalk, playing a melodica.

I was walking after sundown and saw this huge black dog watching me from the dark. I’m not experienced enough with dogs to feel safe fully approaching to check for tags. I stopped a few meters away to look at something tho and it seemed p chill w me, it just sat down and looked around. Possibly a church grim? (def a good doggie)

My neighbourhood just has a ton of indoor/outdoor cats so I’ll randomly be accosted for petting when I’m walking. It’s always a blessing.

3. Walking or chilling outside and just taking in the sights and sounds and feelings of the breeze, flora, etc. Last night, a nearby field was wet from sprinklers so I spent some time barefoot on the wet grass. 👌

4. Game breaking/getting sims to do ridic stuff (as in simulators, not the Sims series). Last console I really played on was PS2 and oh my god that was a treasure trove of game breaking ilu 5eva Tony Hawk’s Pro Skating. I play on PC now. Dwarf Fortress, you are GOTYAY. ARMA... Keep being ARMA. Friends and I once accidentally made a vehicle spawn point perpetually exploding.

5. When I stop and just realize? How cool design/human made things are? The internet, obviously, is mindblowing, but even like... a pen. Locks and keys. Headphones/earphones. They’re all incredibly complex mechanisms we use daily without any thought! That’s not even going into stuff like buildings! (Sometimes those can suck though what were they thinking like Norman Doors? Everyone hates Norman Doors.)

uhhhHHHH I don’t interact much with people through tumblr??? idk here if you’ve messaged me before congrats you’re def a target! u can do or u can not do it up to u... uwu @wr3hart​, @powerdragonmoon​, @mardimari​, @shirairo​ (yeah im calling ur squad out), @loosescrewslefty​, @nattikay​, @kittychatblack​, @silence-svoice​, @cartoonfanorwhatever​, @travelingimagination​ & anyone else who wants to do this come @ me bro

6. BONUS ROUND - PETE/MJ BACK IN MARVEL 616 CANON BABEEEEYYYY

#not ml #you and boo #boo speaks #the dog wasn't anywhere near the church (there are a couple a few blocks away tho) but all the other Black Dog lore is mean and wrong >:(

Venus, mars, saturn 😄 stay beautiful 😘

SPACE THING ASK! YAAAY!✨👽🌙🌚🌞🌍

Venus: What’s your first language?  Polish. I really like polish, bc everything here either makes perfect sense and has a correlation with many words or is totally nonsense and not even the best etymologists can explain wtf is that and where does it come from. And of course a lot of sz, cz, ś, ć, dż, dź…

Mars: What’s your sexuality?  I think I’m heterosexual but sometimes I really think I may be bi. I don’t know and have had 0 sexual intercourses and no relationships. So that’s on that.

Saturn: Any pets?  Yes! I have one old, black Labrador lady named Tequila (yes, like that alcohol. Ask my parents w h y) and one not-so-old European Shorthair gentleman named Filon (like Filemon, a cat from very popular in Poland cartoon). I really would like to have another cat or dog and I like fishies, so maybe, someday...Thank you! These questions are delightful! I adore space and also am very scared of it... But it's just so fascinating..!💕

Yuzuha [UP!] Part 2

Previously: Part 1.

In the living room: Morning.

Yuzuha: Looks like the medicine is working.

Chirp chirp.

Chisa: Hey, Yuuki...

Yuuki: Hm? What is it?

Chisa: What’s with the bird?

Yuuki: It’s a long story, but well...

Chisa: I’m listening.

Yuuki: We brought it to the vet, see.

Airi: (Yuuki-chan, that doesn’t explain anything at all...)

Chisa: That wasn’t exactly long, but I didn’t really get anything from that either...

Airi: Um, you see, Chisa-chan.

Airi: Yuzuha-chan and Yuuki-chan were out for a walk. They happened to see that bird having trouble flying because of an injury.

Airi: Yuzuha-chan brought it to the vet, and it seems she’s brought it here to the dorm for the time being.

Chisa: I see. That was easy to follow.

Yuuki: That was amazing, Airi!

Airi: (I think you just left out too much, Yuuki-chan...)

Chirp chirp.

Yuzuha: Ooh, you seem healthier just listening to you. That’s a good sign.

Chisa: ...Then, Yuzuha intends to take care of it?

Yuuki: Yup yup, that’s the plan.

Chisa: I understand there’s extenuating circumstances, but pets basically aren’t allowed here, remember?

Yuzuha: But there’s a turtle here. That’s discrimination, you know?

Chisa: Well, that’s, I mean...you know. A bit of a...special case? Or something like that...?

Chisa: Ah, look at it this way. Turtles don’t make a lot of noise, right?

Yuuki: That one likes to run around all over the place, though.

Chisa: Well, that is true...

Airi: I think cats and dogs and the like are a no-go, but I think a bird might be fine?

Airi: As long as it’s in a cage, it won’t mess up the walls or anything.

Chisa: HUH?! You want to keep it?

Yuzuha: Shh! Hey, Chisa, don’t raise your voice. You’ll frighten the little one.

Chisa: Ah, my bad.

Yuzuha: Keep it or not, right now, this little one needs help. We can’t let it go the way it is, right?

Chisa: Well, that’s true...

Yuuki: Yup yup.

Chisa: No point arguing it, then. I’ll talk to Manager about it in a bit.

Chisa: I’ll ask for permission to keep it temporarily.

Yuuki: It’s only for a little while, so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Airi: Right... I’m sure everyone else in the dorm will understand, too.

Chirp chirp.

Yuzuha: Don’t worry. Take your time, there’s no rush. Just get plenty of rest for now.

Chisa: Yuzuha...

Later.

Chisa: Hey, Yuuki. What’s Yuzuha been doing?

Yuuki: She’s been watching over the bird every second she’s here in the dorm.

Chisa: I see. Turns out Yuzuha’s got a nurturing side, huh. I’m surprised.

Yuzuha: Ah, Chisa. Got a moment?

Chisa: What is it, Yuzuha?

Yuzuha: Can I take a few leaves off your vegetables in the fridge? My little friend’s making a quick recovery, it seems.

Chisa: Sure, if it’s just a few I don’t mind.

Yuzuha: Yaaay! Thanks, Chisa!

Yuzuha leaves.

Yuuki: See?

Chisa: There’s nothing wrong with wanting to help an animal, so I don’t want to lecture her for it or anything...

Chisa: Yuuki, you’re the leader. If she’s going to keep it then she can keep it, but you should have a talk with her about it, you know?

Yuuki: Right. I understand. When the time comes, I’ll do what I must.

Chisa: Is that so? I hope you do.

To be continued...in Part 3.

twain: are we theeere yeeeeet? Hemingway: "Twain, how many days has it been?" twain:...three i think? its hard to keep track, hehe. Hemingway: "Then the answer 'yes.' We are here." twain: FOR REAL?! emily: *chop* bad hemingway. we arent there yet. twain: mean. =3= ..... i ever tell you about the summer i spent on a raft? *They're passing a sign that says '150 miles to Chicago'* Hemingway: *rubbing his head* "Nah..." twain: well, i got this raft and decided to take a trip down the mississippi river. and i saw all kinds of crazy things. like a feud between two rival families, an almost murder, but the craziest part is when my raft got taken over by these two conmen, called themselves 'the duke' and 'the king'. emily: oh wow. twain: isnt that scary? picture it. 11-year-old me, on a raft with two guys who could kill me at any time probably. luckily i did manage to escape and get them arrested during one of their schemes. and later, who do i run into by my ol friend sunny davis and her dad. they were down in alabama visiting her grandparents and mr davis gave me a ride back home, and oh man, did aunt polly give me the scolding of a lifetime. Hemingway: "That's an adventure. Ever look up what happened to Duke and King?" twain: *shrug* not sure really. probably in jail for all i know. plus i dont know what their actual names were. 737; Hemingway: "Huh...How did you even build a raft?" twain: hard work and determination. Hemingway: "I mean...you just don't seem like the determined type." twain: hey, cut me some slack! i can be very determined when i put my mind to it! >3< i might not be the best at school smarts, but im not dumb. Hemingway: "Ever go hunting?" twain: i think so. i've gone trapping. my bro and i caught rabbits, squirrels, stuff like that. aunt polly made us release them though. Hemingway: "Hmm...We are low on food. I say we pull over and--" emily: here's a place. Hemingway: "??? That's just a pit stop.

Gogol: <As good as it can be. You?> lydia: <could have been better. just thinking a lot.> Gogol: <??? About...?> lydia: <what im going to do after finding the book...> Gogol: <Ah...Maybe go home?> lydia: .....<you do know why i joined the rats, right?> Gogol: <Do I? Likely. But tell me anyway.> lydia: <there's someone important to me i want to save.> Gogol: <All this for a loved one?> lydia: *nod* <she means the world to me.> Gogol: <...Hmm. And Dossy knows this?> lydia:....*she nods* i was by her side in the hospital when he contacted me... Gogol: "...He does that sort of thing." lydia: he offered to save her if i joined him. though i have been considering a second wish for the book..... Gogol: "Oh?" lydia: the first would be to save her from her coma......the second....i might use to erase her memories of me. Gogol: "...Why..." lydia: *removing her mask* it's my fault that she's in this coma to begin with. because she got close, she got hurt. I’ve done so many terrible things for her sake, my hands are too stained with blood. If she knew what I had done, she’d undoubtedly hate me. I don’t want to be a burden to her. Maybe it would be for the best if she forgot about me, even if it hurts so much. I want her to live a life without suffering. Gogol: "..." *sighs* lydia: ... Gogol: "Before doing something so drastic, perhaps actually say goodbye to her first." lydia: *sad chuckle* that's just the thing. i'm scared to face her again. that sounds pretty pathetic, right? perhaps im just doing this to punish myself. im not sure. but as long as i can know she's alright, then i'd be glad, even if it meant erasing my own worthless existence... Gogol: "...Is that what you want?" lydia: ....im only considering her wellbeing...i dont want for her to get hurt again because of my actions. Gogol: "Hmm...Too bad you can't wish to just change your past." lydia: ...i have no desire to change what has happened to me. Gogol: "...All for her, then?" lydia: *she nods* Gogol: "...Admirable." lydia: ...*wipes her eyes* Gogol: "...Well, sleep will help figure this out." lydia:....right.... -elsewhere- Takehisa: "Let's hope they learn something during this exercise." miwa: *nods* Takehisa: "That gives time to handle some other tasks around here." *opens a closet* "I have repairs to finish." miwa: need any help from us? Takehisa: "Since Vulcan is busy, yes, I could. I'm going to check the furnace.
