How Protective Terrans Are

So... I might've dropped a few trauma bomb in my previous entries... but we won't further open those particular can of worms *smiles brightly while throwing the proverbial can at the traum-- ehem, garbage disposal*.

Anyways, this is my 5th entry to Humans Are Space Orcs! For today's human documentary, we're going to talk about what adult Terrans can and will do to you if you touch their young, family, close friends, pets, or special mementos given to them by a special someone (which doesn't have to be from a dead anybody or a romantic somebody). We all know people wouldn't hesitate to throw hands just to keep their people or stuff safe.

So, let's refer to my list, cuz it's easier to do lol. Again, I've used movies, series, podcasts, and a writer's angst-filled mind to type this. Should I warn the rest of you for further reading? I guess I should (I was so used to reading things without the warning that I'm sometimes confused of the TW tag on some stuff lol).

TW: Gore, violence, theoretical bodily harm even though I censored most of it, death, stabby people, bullying, the insanity train.

Kill the threat. Bit of an extreme one for the first thing to pop in my head, yes? But it is true. Wars were waged for lesser things. See this news article for one example: "Mom fatally shot home intruder to defend kids, she says". This one was published on August 18, 2022. In 2012, cuz I'm too lazy to search recent ones, there's another news articles featuring the same thing but focuses on a mother shooting an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby. In 2015, an 11-year-old boy also shot an intruder trying to defend his 4-year-old sister from possible harm. I could go on and on about this but in countries where guns are not accessible, the next possible thing to use in defense would've been something sturdy and blunt or something extremely sharp. Actually, if we were in a time wherein tribes or kingdoms exist instead of cities, I can surely say that killing their young would definitely put you and your family in said people's sh*t list.

Fight the threat. Whether is be physically punching them on the face of the place where the sun doesn't shine, nobody cares as long as the deed of letting them know their place is done. Exhibit A that a lot of us know would be bullies ganging up on a younger sibling in school. We know that younger sibling are the proverbial pain in the *ss of older siblings. It's a love-hate relationship between them. But it's also an unsaid rule that only the older siblings can threaten or push around younger siblings. Anyone else touching them aside from the close family ties should be prepared to taste someone's fist. Or feet. Or the pavement. You get the gist of it. Though as long as the child in question can take care of the bullying on their own (which I did in my experience) then the parents or older sibling would gladly back off until the time they notice that things are going too far. Though, sadly, some kids prefer not to talk about their problems which leads to behavioral issues in the future, sorta trying to get attention from their elders but in a negative way.

Threaten the threat. I see this as the tamer version of protection actually lol. I don't know about other countries but in my country, the smart kids in school can threaten your life as a student. We have the usual bling-bling kids with the money and huzzah but they don't last long in the face of being a social pariah at school. They can throw money all they want but the smart kids wouldn't be threatened at all cuz they hold the key to higher GPA. Even the teachers complain about them nerds but action speaks loud and their compilation of evidence speaks louder lol. You'd be lucky if the nerd assigned to you has the patience of a saint cuz if not... well, I've had to stop fights from breaking out from simple arguments. Not just in school though. If you've got connection in higher places then that could also be a way to threaten someone (it does happen in real life so it isn't far-fetched). Though it is more effective to threaten the threat if you're in the same place as them. Another thing would be holding blackmail on said person (though that only works if they're not an immediate threat). If you have enough social influence, well, you can destroy their entire life without touching them even once.

Torture the threat. A friend says I'm too kind for ending their lives easily. Well, watching too many action and horror films prepared me for this part lol. I don't know which one would be done but interrogators have done the worst to get information from their victim. Too gory for this though and I don't know how many kids or emotional teens are in here so I have to censor a ton of the juicy details. Let's say it would be a bit similar to Saw, Jigsaw, and war interrogations. Chemicals, acids, peeled skin, salt, knives, and hammers might also be in place. Just know that it would be a bloody, unforgiving event that would take place in that particular room with that unfortunate victim.

Play the long game. Another said killing them quickly was... well... too quick XD. This one centers heavily on having money and patience. Know who the threat is, where they live, who they interact with, and what makes them tick. For this to work, you need to give up who you were before and settle on anonymity. This is... a bit more drastic than torture but works well if you have too much hate in your chest or the deed done was something you can never forgive. It's more on watching them physically suffer with their injury or doing the threatening on their family (gets messy very fast), but since this threat had amassed A LOT of enemies, they won't exactly know who did the evil deed on them. Shoot them on their legs, feet, and shoulder. Their spine if you're a good shot and know where to hit. Places that aren't close to their vital organs but would render them disabled. You'll let them live, but it will be a life of pain and agony.

Talk to the threat. The most peaceful type and probably the most boring out of this chaotic list > v <. This should be the first thing we do and not escalate to violence if some of us can help it. Again, your patience and wit will be tested here. If your threat is minor (like another child), then talking to their guardian would help with keeping the problem from going through a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes that doesn't work and the problem turns into an adult fight.

In summary, you have 2 kinds of Terrans. One would shoot before asking; the other would talk before shooting. Which is why you should never step on this particular deathworld if you were thinking about making Terran slaves or using our young in experimentation. We haven't given chase on aliens yet. Don't make yourselves the first intergalactic specie the Terrans would obliterate.

Meanwhile in a fast approaching spacecraft...

This alien reading this How To Deal With Terrans manual : Why did we want to go to this deathworld again?

Another alien turning yellow from anxiety : To befriend them and learn about the resident Terrans?

Yet another alien wilting as they feel faint from the information : Oh, thank the stars we won't be terrorizing them.

The alien commander whose frills are flaring in alarm as they read through the unredacted version of the manual : They will torture and skin us for taking their young and their pets?!

This particular scientist whose skins are changing colors in excitement : See? I told you their famous quote of "If predator not friend, why friend shape?" also applies to them!

Control

Lena's life was a series of the most extreme and random events. She wasn't sure if her being magic was part of it or the cause, but her life was, simply put, ridiculous.

Death, losing connections, friendships and relationships, manipulation, backstabbing, death threats, assassination attempts, kidnapping were all just some of the things she has experienced in her recent years alone, more than enough to make any sane person go crazy. She’s seen what crazy does to people, the destructive consequences of her family, her blood, and did what she could to avoid it, to keep herself afloat.

She tried to grasp whatever control she did get with both hands, using it as her way to sooth her soul when everything fell apart. She wondered if that was one of the reasons she felt compelled to take over the family company, deciding to dive right into the heart of the chaos to gain some hint of control over it. Her job was a major part in her life in which she held some control; as the boss she could dictate the direction of the company, she answered to no one (save for the board), and most importantly she could choose whenever to stop working. She could control the kind of food she put in her mouth, what to watch on TV, control the people she let into her life, her scientific knowledge gave her some control on her work, and her decision not to use her magic until she felt she grasped enough of its understanding gave her some comfort.

Yet, for every aspect of her life she had control over, Kara was always the exception to her rules. Breaking down every wall and defense mechanism, turning her life upside down, and the recent event proved it more than ever. Somehow every time she felt she had some hold on reality, the universe was keen to prove her wrong.

"Kara, I know you said that Kryptonian sex developed later than humans, but is it possible that one fetus developed faster than the other?" Lena asked after studying the live ultrasound footage on the monitor. Nia and Brainy's little girl seemed to be developing perfectly, at least that gave her some comfort.

"I don't think so? I can contact my father if needed, but what seems to be the problem?" Kara put her baby development book she'd been reading down and walked towards Lena.

"Well, after studying this ultrasound for quite a while, it seems like we have one fetus who developed male sex organs, while the other didn't." She did her best to keep her voice controlled and leveled. There was no actual reason to panic. Yet.

"Then we're having a boy and a girl! Lena, that's great news!" Kara said excitingly, raising her hands up to emphasise it.

"Kara, they are identical twins!"

"Oh, that I do know. It has to do with the chromosome distribution of the machine. Sex assignment is usually controlled by the parents, it is distributed individually after the process has begun. So it's given randomly to every child." Kara explained.

"So our identical twins are gonna be born with different organs?"

"Essentially, yes."

Kara really took the news far better than her. She wasn't sure how Kara wasn't phased by those surprises like she was. Kara led a life just as random and tragic, probably more, so by all accounts she should be just as disturbed. Then again, maybe she was simply better at repressing, Lena really couldn't tell.

Although thinking about it, Kara had been acting slightly different recently, even before the sex reveal. Lena couldn't put the finger on it, but she had her suspicions. She was more affectionate, more touchy. Not that Lena was complaining, she was eager to take any opportunity to be closer to her best friend. Lena couldn't help but wonder at the sudden change. Was the affection part a natural development in their relationship, or the most likely conclusion, had something to do with their project. They are going to become a family in the very near future, that by itself is enough to change the whole dynamic. A dynamic that is very likely to change regardless once the twins would come into their lives.

Lena suspected – despite her initial reservations – that Kara’s new affection has to do with a new romantic aspect, or something similar at the very least. The lingering touches, the crimson blushes that seemed to have coloured her face more often than before. True, a relationship with Kara was something she was hoping for for months, years if she was completely honest with herself, but the potential of a heartbreak might be too much for her to handle, especially if there are kids involved.

Was that the reason? Could it be a surge of emotions triggered by the idea of shared parenting that was wrongly interpreted as romantic attraction? Or was it something else? Fear perhaps? It is known to be a great motivator. Could Kara be fearing their shared partnership might be broken had Lena found a new romantic partner and instinctively started to develop something to keep their partnership at bay? Or perhaps she was reading it all wrong and Kara's new nervousness and touches were simply excitement and anxiety for their upcoming responsibilities.

Lena breathed out a long sigh, the whole thing was a lot to handle and she was already dealing with a lot.

"You okay?" Kara turned her head to her from the stop on the couch where they were snuggled together.

"Yeah," she flashed her a small smile.

"Then why aren't you watching the movie?" Kara fixed her with a knowing smirk

"Just thinking," she pretended to roll her eyes with irritation, but her smile gave her away.

Lena learned she couldn't control her emotions, she tried. She put them in little boxes for years to avoid and suppress them, so she wouldn't have to deal with them. She learned first hand how impossible and destructive it was.

"Well, your brain is very smart," Kara nodded. "Is this 'thinking' you're doing part of maintaining its smartness levels?"

"Of course, it's part of my daily routine." Lena said seriously, glad Kara wasn't pushing her to talk.

"I bet it would be even smarter afterwards." Kara pushed a stray hair off of her face.

"Oh, I wouldn't count on that."

"I would."

She wasn't sure when Kara got so close to her, but the distance between them was almost completely gone. Their conversation lowered to mere whispers. It was Kara, eyes half lidded, leaning in that broke her out of the haze.

Lena couldn't control her emotions, but she could control her actions at the very least. She could make sure to put herself in a position she was still in control of. Not let herself give in to temptations and dive into the unknown.

"I think I might retire for the night," Lena cleared her throat. "I'm more tired than I thought." She stood up before Kara could react.

She felt a cold shiver run through her body, and she had a feeling it was not because she stepped out of their blanket nest too quickly. Closing the door behind her didn't feel like the familiar safe space she hoped it to be, a distant voice at the back of her mind telling her that she left that one behind on the couch.

She stood there motionless in her room far longer than she realised.

Yes, Lena could still have some control. Although she wasn't sure about the cost anymore.

Ranking the Astrological Houses

cuz y nawt

In Astrology, Houses govern each area of our lives : our home/family life, our career milestones/overall achievements, our values, our one-to-one Relationships, etc. Personally, I think some Houses are cooler than other ones, and in this post I’ll go over why.

1. The 8th House : This House is all about the possessions you share with loved ones, the possessions people share with you, intimacy, self-exploration (the occult), and tragic moments. This house rules over the taboo aspects of being a human being—things people aren’t comfortable with sharing or exposing, unless we truly let you in. When we encounter something that breaks us, we are forced to rebuild ourselves, and rise from the ashes—as dramatic as that sounds. Through this we re-evaluate our psyche. Without a doubt, the coolest and most important house.

2. The 12th House : Coming after the 11th house—our place in society—the 12th house is where we disconnect from the collective; this is where we disconnect from JUST being a Human being, and instead we connect with ALL beings. In this house, you learn that your Spirit is limitless—whether its through isolation, existentialism, or your dreams. Its a beautiful and underrated house.

3. The 11th House : The 10th House is what we build for ourselves, and what we achieve, and the 11th House is what we bring to the table on a wider-scale; really, this is our place in Society—or whatever you perceive as a Collective. I think this is also a stronger fame indicator compared to the 10th House, since it deals with large amounts of people/audiences/society/how many people you actually reached.

4. The 9th House : This is where we start taking more serious Mental Journeys. The 8th House is everything taboo; its rules over “touchy” subjects and our overall vulnerability. After we go through “hell”, we gain answers, wisdom, and belief systems. And rather than being focused on immediate interactions/environments, we start to travel outside of our comfort zones and explore—which expands our knowledge and perceptions.

5. The 2nd House : What do we equip ourselves with? What items do we value? For me, the 2nd house is definitely one of the more important Houses, because what you value dictates your whole life and how controlled you are by society (ex : Religion, Money). This is also what we gather for ourselves and how Wealthy we are. For most people, this will show our finances. Its a cool lil house.

6. The 10th House : 9th House is our answers and beliefs, and the 10th House is what we build and achieve with these answers. What is your legacy? What structure did you build for yourself? What is your greatest achievement/accomplishments? In my opinion, this house isn’t THAT strong of a fame indicator as the 11th House; it just deals with your own milestones, regardless of how many people know about it or not.

7. The 5th House : This is the most care-free house in Astrology; this area in our lives rules over entertainment and pleasure. Pleasure can range from Artistic Hobbies, Flings, Dating, Light-hearted Romance, etc. This part of the chart can indicate Children/and or having Children.

8. The 3rd House : Our baby steps; This house deals with immediate interactions/environments : Siblings, Neighborhood, School, and writing and communication in general. Like the 5H, this can indicate what type of Hobbies we get into.

9. The 6th House : Pretty underrated, as it can show you what type of daily routine, activities you’ll be getting into, and what problems we’ll deal with—health, work, errands, etc; its generally what speed you live your life at. This is also an underrated fame indicator (ex : Kurt Cobain had his 11th House Ruler in the 6th House; his artistic routines helped him with gaining attention and an audience).

10. The 4th House : The House of Privacy and Family. This house can show us our Home life and Family;the people and places you feel the most comfortable with. Having Mars in this House ain’t easy, so its lower in this ranking.

11. The 1st House : The Ascendant is the most important part of our charts, since its the most personal and specific placement—its calculated based off of what time you were born. It can give us our Chart Ruler and our physical features. The Ascendant/1H also shows us the relationship we have with ourselves. I have Chiron in this house, so its second to last.

12. The 7th House : Opposing the 1H, this is how we deal with other people—could be one-on-one relationships, partnerships, relatability, and sometimes, the public. If you have any “bad” placements in the 7H, it can indicate enemies/and or rivals; people you have a hard time getting a long with. In this house, you become conscious of differences you have with people. You’re looking at another person and saying “okay, lets make this happen”. Having Saturn in this house sucks, so its last place.

[marshallpupfan]

Is it just me, but doesn't it feel a bit strange that in the mighty movie, Skye and Chase have an "integral" friendship when they weren't even close when the show began.

Chase's best friend is Marshall, but I feel like they're trying to change the show's history by making Skye and Chase close when they weren't even that close in season 1.

It doesn't feel right to me 😕

Sadly, this isn't the only instance of the writers ignoring things in recent years. Rubble not having a family and then a really big one suddenly pops up for the spinoff, Skye's out-of-nowhere lack of confidence because of her size, Aqua Pups ignoring nearly every Merpup rule established in earlier seasons, etc..

But Spin Master disregarding Chase and Marshall's strong friendship and pretending it's actually been Chase and Skye is, to me, one of their biggest offenders. It's a change that, as silly as it may sound, does nothing but tarnish the love I once had for this franchise.

It's not like this is some fan-theory or anything. Even Nick Jr. has made videos showcasing their strong bond. Fans fully acknowledge it, and even Chase x Skye proponents have reacted to this news in utter confusion.

So... what gives? Well, I think I might have an answer. This may be a bit of a touchy subject, but what the heck, I'll talk about it anyway.

If there's one thing I've noticed over the years, it's that people have been demanding (sometimes angrily) for more female protagonists in movies, games, TV shows, etc.. Companies have complied to this, and Spin Master is no exception. Unfortunately, when they created PAW Patrol, they only made one of the main six pups a girl - a detail that displeased many viewers from the very beginning. Sure, they've created more female members since then, but the cartoon has been getting lazier about using any of their part timers now (I think Everest only appeared three times each in season 8 and 9).

Their solution? Give Skye more screen time, of course. Unfortunately, either by accident or on purpose, we now have a pup who gets called in during nearly every single mission. This is not an exaggeration; in season 9, she was used more than Chase, the main character and face of the franchise. Of course, it's not enough that they call her in a lot; they also wanted to give her an edge over the other four... something to make her "special" to stand out.

How did they go about doing this? Well, I think we know, given how this post got started in the first place.

Thus, our favorite Dalmatian got booted out of his position as Chase's best friend. Now, it's Skye who has an "integral" friendship with the shepherd. They're all "friends", but it's suddenly nothing compared to what these two share... apparently. I suppose it wasn't enough for them to shove Marshall to the side during missions so they could call Skye in more... they had to take that from him, too.

And for the life of me, I've no idea what the Spin Master president is talking about. Sure, Chase and Skye get called in together during missions a lot, but they hardly interact at all. It's not much different outside of missions, either. And if it was "acknowledged" in the first theatrical film, I certainly don't remember it. Chase and Marshall, on the other hand? Although brief, we still get hints of it every now and then, even as recent as season 9. It's clearly there, but I guess Spin Master, and possibly the movie director/writers, have other ideas.

There's no denying their priorities have changed. Sadly, I don't expect things to go back to the way they were anytime soon, especially if this leaked document is any indication.

As you can see, Spin Master is adopting a new strategy that promises to focus more on female-driven marketing and stories. Don't get me wrong, I don't oppose the idea at all (in fact, I'm thrilled they're giving Everest a 44-minute mini-movie... I absolutely want her to get more screen time), but in the long run, it shouldn't come at the expense of the male characters. Sadly, due to how much they overuse Skye now, I feel that's exactly what's happening... especially to Marshall. It's one of the reasons why I've started losing interest in the TV series, and why I'm sorry to admit I have little interest in The Mighty Movie. Skye will continue getting preferential treatment to compensate for their lack of foresight, while characters like Marshall will likely continue getting the short end of the stick as a result. I really hope I'm wrong, but the evidence seems all too clear.

I apologize for the length of this post, and if any of it comes off as sounding like a rant. And if anyone takes offense to something I've said here, I swear to you, that was never my intention. In truth, as many of you have seen, I have a lot of passion for both Marshall and the PAW Patrol franchise, which has lead me to become frustrated by some of its changes and the direction it's going in. And I know I'm not alone on this, as even most fans nowadays cheer when Chase and Marshall are finally given the chance to team up again... the rare times it happens, anyway. I suppose it's telling how excited we get for such morsels, but...it's often all we've got now.

Uuuuhhh send me headcanons of our boy BB ❤️

Oooh Benedict headcanons?

Okay some probably not so hot takes:

Benedict is 100% bisexual I don’t make the rules that’s how it is

His favorite teas are the more floral ones —he has to wait for Collin to return from his travels to get his favorite kinds because the flowers are typically more tropical like hibiscus and Collin brings them home

He saves those for special occasions or when he’s painting

He does look up to Anthony; he just doesn’t like to admit it

Feels like he knows his place in the world but is terrified he’s wrong. It’s part of why he looks to Anthony; he knows what he wants and what he’s meant to do. Benedict is just a little lost

Hopeless romantic. Absolutely fucking hopeless

Definitely believes in love at first sight (hence his book tbh)

Also definitely believes in the notion of soulmates

Eloise is his favorite sister but he’ll deny it until his dying breath

He’s a very touchy person. He likes to touch anyone and everything; it’s the artist in him. But his love language is certainly touch and physical affection because of it

Benedict totally cried the first time he had sex idk why I think that but I do don’t @ me

Will paint/sketch members of his family and leave them as gifts randomly

Will sketch members of the ton but hides them away for safe keeping

Definitely tries to convince Collin to give him more of that opium for future use (Collin refuses)

<3 <3 <3 Lale I hope you’re having a good day!!! I saw your requests are open for a sec and I was wondering if you’d write something, anything, about Thatch with a reader who loves to cook and is good at it too. Cooking for/with people I care about is my main love language and I’d love to see anything where Thatch gets to interact with someone who just puts their whole spirit and being into it. Maybe he’s seeing them cook for the first time, or the hundredth time, or they’re cooking something special specifically for him, I dunno. Whatever you might wanna write.

*places large fancy hot chocolate and plate of cookies before you as an offering*

Thank you for your consideration and I hope your day is amazing. <3 <3 <3

we're gonna ignore the fact that this has been sitting in my ask box since January and continue with saying thanks for the sweet request, whoever you are anon (if you're still around and see this). cooking is my main love language too! it's been a while since i've written our beloved bread man and i still love the fact that Thatch is now owned by the fandom since Oda didn't want him.

🥖 Thatch with a gn!reader (no pronouns) who loves to cook

so you’ve joined the Whitebeard Pirates. you settle in, try learning the names of your 1.600 siblings and cling to the handful familiar faces that help you navigate around the new home

you know the rules on board: make yourself useful somehow, everyone has their duties on the ship. you have a few talents but you really feel the most at home in a kitchen. and the cook seemed really nice from what you could tell?

you always noticed him humming a melody or being very touchy with everyone, he had one of those friendly faces that just made you wish to be his friend so bad

needless to say he was also totally your type

on your welcome night a few days after you joined, you introduce yourself properly to your new found family and thank them for the big banquet, mentioning that the food is really amazing and that you’d love to learn the recipes some day 

Thatch would be delighted to hear that you’re fond of his cooking, a big smile on his face 

maybe his pompadour would stand up a little cat’s tails do when they’re excited

he’s unaware how deep your passion for cooking and food runs, just knowing you appreciate his meal is enough to get his heart fluttering anyway and declaring you part of his division right on the spot

you can’t escape now that he put an arm around your shoulders, showing off everyone his newest staff member

it’s not like you want to escape though, you have to admit that feeling him this close is kinda nice… did he really smell like fresh warm bread or was that your imagination?

be prepared to be swept away straight into the kitchen where he gives you a quick tour, introducing you to your new workplace

he’s chatty and he’s charming and you can feel yourself drawn to him; there was just something about him that you knew will make you fall so hard for him, it was inevitable 

when he asks you if you want to help him prepare the dessert, you nod eagerly and roll up your sleeves, trying not to blush when he disappears for a second and comes back with an apron that’s a little too big for you but does the job

“is this one from your personal collection?” – “what makes you think that?” (he smirks and it’s killing you softly)

you gesture to the large print of a jolly roger that has two crossed baguettes in the background and huge letters across it declaring to kiss the cook

god, if only you could skip the getting to know each other part and and go straight to kissing, you think to yourself as you get to work

Thatch gives you instructions but is quick to notice that you don’t really need them and soon you’re in deep talk about how to give the recipe a new twist, several pots and pans on the stove boiling already because of course you have to give all those ideas a try right here, right now

he looks over your, as you cut up some fruit and you try not to become hyper-aware of every movement but granted, it’s hard when a handsome man like him was breathing down your neck (affectionate)

you start screaming inside when he reaches for your hands, gently placing his on yours and continues showing you a cutting technique, as if yours wasn’t perfect

of course you both know it’s just a simple excuse to hold hands for a hot minute but no one says a thing, instead he starts humming a melody and you just smile like a fool in love

in the end the crew has to wait forever for their dessert because the two of you got lost in the kitchen and food talk, busy feeding each other from various boiling pots, tweezing everything to perfection, the whole spice rack pulled out by now

once you fed the sugar-craving crowd outside, Thatch and you clean up the kitchen together, laughing about the mess the two made, wondering if every day will be like this now that you’re part of his division

you really hope so because you had the most fun in a very long time with him

Thatch (whose pompadour went to bed already, his hair in a messy half-bun) walks you to your cabin, an arm around your shoulders while you’re chatting about meal plans and all the recipes you want to try

you stand awkwardly in the door, not sure how to say good night to him. after tonight it feels like you’ve known each other for a decade at least, there was just something about him that made you wonder if your heart recognized him from somewhere

Thatch takes one hand of yours and gently places a kiss on top of it, not breaking eye contact with you, your flustered expression totally fueling him

tonight you will have the sweetest dreams about bread in all shapes and sizes – that’s when you can find any sleep at all, with your heart pounding like that in your chest

Thatch will greet you the next morning, a tea towel thrown over his shoulder, and you continue where you left of last night: cooking what your heart desired… and kissing, too

[rindomness]

what is your favorite chapter of It Devours and why? not necessarily like a single chapter just a piece that's your favorite (this is joe spooky btw)

OKAY HI SORRY LIFE GOT HECTIC im back on my bullshit

I don't actually know what chapter this is. because i listened to the audiobook. and i do not have a picture for you. because i listened to the audiobook. but. but the really short part where it's from carlos's pov in the gym

(read-more-ing bc spoilers)

but like. the context. they're standing in this ruined gymnasium and recovering from the panic that janice might have gotten hurt or killed. and nilanjana leaves- one of our chief pov characters LEAVES and then we go back inside and it's carlos in cecil's arms and it's carlos narrating over no action at all.

no action! at all! they're just standing there holding each other. and he goes on to talk about how he's So particular about touch, and how there are exceptions, and then. and then all of those exceptions start with cecil. all of them.

and like. 'carlos doesn't do physical touch' isn't a new thing. it's been pretty heavily repeated throughout the book. it's very upfront about this fact from the GET GO. it is one of the first things this book tells you about carlos. and then here's this scene. this one little snapshot of his thought process. and it's about how he feels safe in cecil's arms.

i don't know if i can quite articulate what's important about that to me? like obviously it's important it's a big deal it's like. The Exception To The Rule. it's finknor telling you upfront how important cecil is to carlos without ever saying the words, just a slightly-meandering internal monologue about touch. part of it is that i am autistic and i read carlos as autistic and that, uh, feels INTENTIONAL, even if the word autism is never written once. but carlos ABSOLUTELY reads as autistic and coming at that scene as an autistic person feels... like... yeah. yeah.

cause a lot of my stuff is i show affection through physical touch. im very, very touchy. ask p much anyone who knows me well in real life i WILL lay on top of you like a cat if allowed. but also like. that's a lot of me initiating physical contact. that's a LOOOOOT of me going yeah i want contact i will go find it. there's, maybe, five people total im chill with touching me out of the blue. outside of that i Will request you ask first. so it's like.

it's a trust thing? it reads as a trust thing. a really really powerful trust thing. and the fact this is the moment that carlos quits with the subtlety, quits trying to work around city council and pamela, focuses 100% on solving the problem and consequently blinds himself to the cause of the problem... dude. he loves his family so much and his family is this group of people he has become so, so close with over the last four-five years in night vale more than anything else and one of the other chief things this book tells you about carlos is how much he loves those people around him. how much he would sacrifice for them. it's! it's something!!! i will never recover!!!

this is shorter. but like. i literally cannot put into words? what this scene does for me? i am literally just vibrating on the edge of tears bc man. man. man.

Drabble/Hc; The Win-Win Meet Cute Pt. 2!

He clears his throat to get his attention, and when that doesn’t work, he slides himself over to the bench he’s sitting on and rests one of his big hands across Kuzco’s shoulders. “Kuzco, listen. It might not be so bad to go to school. You’ll be with kids your own age— you might even be able to make a few friends.”

“I have friends! I have lots of friends, the coolest friends in the Kingdom, actually.” Comes the petulant reply, muted by his arms which are resting on the table and covering his face. Pacha is careful to hide his amused smile behind a cough, and he pats his back consolingly. “I’m sure you do. But my point is; it’s not the end of the world. A few years of school, and that’s it— you’ll be back on your throne before you know it.” Kuzco heaves a sigh as he straightens up again, brushing his hand against the front of his poncho in an effort to straighten it out. It’s the one Chicha was kind enough to knit for him, and secretly one of his all time favorite gifts. Without really thinking, he scoots a little further away from Pacha on the bench seat, further emphasizing his ‘no touchy’ rule. “That’s not even the worst part though, Pach. They’re cutting off the royal funds! I can’t even live in the palace OR my summer vacation hut until I graduate or get married! I’ve never not lived in the palace— how am I supposed to survive out here on my own!?” Pacha and Chicha share another meaningful look, with Chicha’s turning far more annoyed than Pacha really thinks the situation calls for. Resigned to her fate, Chicha sets the scroll back down on the table and folds her arms over her chest. “Well, Kuzco. You know you’re always welcome in our hut. Perhaps you should stay with us during your schooling.” She bites out, aiming for pleasant and missing by a mile. For a moment, Kuzco’s thrown by the offer— not used to such a blatant offer of kindness with no hidden meaning behind it. In the next moment however, he chirps a teasing “Mommy!” In Chicha’s direction, if only to see her expression fall completely flat with aggravation. “Don’t call me that. I’m serious, Kuzco. You can stay with us— but I’m warning you, we don’t have a ton of room here. You’ll have to share with Chaca and Tipo until we can figure something out. And I’ll expect you to continue helping me with chores.” It’s a better offer than he was expecting, if he’s being honest. He’d only come here for Pacha’s sage advice and to air his frustrations, not to ask for their generosity in the matter. He’s touched, warmed by the idea that these peasants who he barely knows, yet could consider the closest thing he’s ever had to a family would offer him their home in his time of need.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Kuzco is still contemplating their offer and his future choices as he makes his way back down Pacha’s hill later that day. He’d taken the week off to get his bearings, and isn’t expected back at the palace with an answer for another five days. That should give him plenty of time to get his llamas in a row and decide whether or not he’s going to call those brides back in for another line up, or actually do this ‘school’ thing. He’s leaning towards picking a bride; what better way to get this over with as quickly as possible? With a bride, he’s guaranteed a future heir, and he can take back his throne by the end of next week. It’s a win-win.

He’s just rounding the bend for his own hilltop, still deep in thought when he’s startled by the sound of something crashing. Kuzco stops to take in the scene, and immediately finds himself staring at one of the most beautiful girls he’s ever seen. She’s absolutely perfect— far more stunning than those brides who were brought in, all dolled up and polished to respond to him exactly as they believed he would want them too. She has perfect, long dark hair, perfect eyes, a perfect little nose— he’s never been taken by someone’s beauty like this before.

He watches as the girl hurries to set her things down and stride over to the elderly farmer who had dropped a full barrel of corn, stooping down to help her pick up the fallen cobs. Wow. Beautiful AND generous? Could she be any greater? It’s then that Kuzco realizes with a start that this entire situation is exactly what he needs! A meager little peasant girl would kill to be swept away by a man with his charm and good looks! Taken from this peasant-y village life to live in the grand palace in the city— and with her as his beautiful empress, he’d be able to stay Emperor without having to gain an education!

A self assured hand brushes the hair off of his shoulders, and his fingers sweep across his eyebrows to smooth them out. He doesn’t need a mirror in front of him to know how handsome he is, and he’s all but radiating suave, self assured bravado as he struts his way over to where they’re kneeling in the dirt. Women fall all over themselves for his attention, of which he’s more than happy to give them. This should be no different! She’ll be putty in his hands, and he’ll be an emperor again in no time!

Hi @h3arts1 and thank you for your support!. here's your match❤

°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°•☆°

I match you with....

Le Comte De Saint Germain

Pre-relationship (SFW)

Well, lets say that you crossed the door and traveled through time to the 19th century and the first one who saw you was Le Comte himself. Your relationship with him started as he was the one who had to take care of you. So, he managed to keep you occupied by taking you out to town and buy you cute stuff until it was nearly impossible to stop him from doing it. Each time you're with him you keep wondering if he is really caring for you or is he just acting nice?. You never knew until that day came and you knew if he really cared or not. You were serving tea to his office at the mansion and you accidentally burned your hand and Le Comte's facial expressions changed like he was in pain. You reassured him that it is okay but he insisted to take care of your hand. He took you and started to ask you if everything is okay or not and you broke in tears. You asked him about why he is treating you nicely and what is the point because your self esteem was kinda ruined because of what you had in the past relationships. Le comte was sad because of what he heard and you can tell that after that incident he started to treat you differently. And he became more considered of your feelings and needs. Of course it was not a bad thing but he felt and told himself that you're the puzzle part that was missing from his life.

Confession (SFW)

It was a nice afternoon where Le Comte suggested that you and him could go tonight to a mascarade ball. And you eventually agreed because you wanted to experience it for once. Le comte bought you a fancy dress and a beautiful mask and you started getting ready at 6:30 p.m.

Your dress and mask:

Putting them together with a cute necklace he helped you to wear in front of your bedroom mirror. He was looking at you like you're the treasure he seeked his whole life and he gave you a kiss on the hand and helped you to go down the stairs. He carried your hand in his like a queen and king in their own kingdom. You felt your heart bursting out of joy and happiness and you smiled at him because of how safe and loved he made you feel that evening. The night went so smooth and almost like it was never was ever a girl who is prettier than you in that hall. His arms was wrapped around your waist and he was waving and smiling elegantly for everyone ,he didn't let you feel for one second that he would abandon or leave you. You danced and drink with him and for one moment the hall that was full of people seemed to get busier. Everything was there was screaming for joy and happiness. Until you felt dizzy so you went to the porch to take a fresh air. You heard a soft voice coming from behind you "Are you okay ma cherie?" Comte asked. "Yes, I'm good" you said. "Well, I came here to check if you're not tipsy or tired" he said with a soft smile. "No I'm not! Thank you for checking on me" you said smiling back. "You look radiant tonight ma cherie" he said that while cupping your face with his palms. "Thank you again but what all of this about?" You asked. "I feel... kind of jealous because I have to share you with the world ma cherie" he said that looking into your eyes. " But Comte we.." You didn't finish the sentence as comte cut off your objection by pressing his lips against yours. "I love you ma cherie, please be mine forever" he said. You looked at him with almost teary-eyes as you hugged and snuggled into his chest. "I'm yours forever" you said. Both of you bodies started to sway with the music that broke the silence in the background.

Listen for Lana Del Rey "If you lie down with me" 3:25 for the last part❤.

Relationship headcanons (sfw)

Comte would be a perfect lover for someone who is touch starved like you. He will probably make you his priority. He is a sweet and attentive love. He would give you what you need in this world by literally helping you to learn something new everyday.

He would take you to trips to your favorite places like beach or parks. Etc..

He would be more than happy because you're an extrovert which means you can handle dealing with a lot of people.

Sometimes he will turn on the phonograph in his room to play your favorite music and sway slowly to it.

To him you're like a piece of heaven because of how much you both complete and complement each other.

He is into serving you in a lot of ways and won't hesitate to put you as one of the most important things in his life.

His heart swallow with love each time you show him how you're capable of loving and forgiving.

Both of you would always end up cuddled in his lap.

Other times you both are going to have tea party and chit-chat with the residents of the mansion. Which will always be so heart warming.

Conflicts:

Not every relationship is always perfect or flawless. Maybe the main problem that might face both of you is Comte's work. Traveling would be a real necessity to his work. So it might be kind of hard to handle his absence sometimes. Other things is he might be a little bit suffocating and overprotective towards you. But it is not necessary bad it is just he can't handle the idea of you being hurt.

Other possible match:

Napoleon Bonaparte

Why did the Romans use the word Caesar for the title of their emperors? According to Pliny, the word ‘Caesar’ derives from the word caesaries meaning ‘a full head of hair’.

This one touches on two different, both eminently Roman things at the same time.

The first part is the origin of the name “Caesar.”

Caesar started off as a “cognomen”, a kind of inheritable nickname. Roman names were originally similar to our own: a first name followed by a clan name. The person we know as “Julius Caesar” was actually Gaius (personal name) Julius (clan name) to his contemporaries. However Rome as Rome grew the stock of clan names was too small: there were fewer than two hundred over all, and many of those were pretty rare or obscure. Thus, you might wander into the Forum and call “where’s Gaius Julius?” and get several people raising their hands.

So, the Romans began augmenting the clan names with additional markers that distinguished different branches of the same clan. These third names (in Latin, cognomens) were effectively inheritable nicknames: they were typically assigned at some point based on a distinguishing personal characteristic of some individual but they came to refer to his descendants as well… at least until one of them was so notable that he and his own descendants acquired a different cognomen. There were no formal rules, which leads to a good deal of confusion for people trying to trace Roman family histories.

In any case, the famous Gaius Julius Caesar descended from other Julii Caesares, but these were a fairly late-emerging branch of the Julian clan — the first recorded person to hold that name was Sextus Julius Caesar, a general in the Punic Wars about 100 years before the famous Caesar was born. Even the Romans were not completely sure what “Caesar” signified: There were four different explanations floating around in antiquity:

from caesus, “cut” — perhaps related to the legendary origin-story of the Caesarian section.

from caesius, “blue-gray” — presumably a Julius with piercing blue eyes.

from caesaries, “flowing” or “luxuriant” hair. Perhaps from a particularly vain Julius known for his locks, or perhaps from a baby born with an unusual amount of hair. It could also be a sarcastic name for a family prone to baldness: it was not unheard of for cognomens to be somewhat insulting.

from a supposed foreign word for an elephant which a Julius had killed on the battlefield in Africa. This one is regarded as especially dubious.

Opinion today is remains divided, though #3 is regarded as the likeliest origin. That one was a bit of pain for the historical Gaius Julius Caesar, who was notoriously touchy about his hair loss as he aged.

This is probably the only lifetime portrait of Caesar — most of the ones in museums are extremely flattering ones done after his death by order of his adoptive son and political heir, emperor Augustus. Those tend to show a younger and more hirsute Caesar; this one shows how much forehead he was sporting by the time of this assassination.

All of which explains where the name Caesar comes from and why it might mean “hairy” even if the most famous owner of the name sported a serious comb-over.

As to why it came to mean emperor: well, that has to do with the fact that Roman self-image was extremely hostile to one-man rule. “King” was a dirty word in Rome, so even when Gaius Julius Caesar (and later his adopted son, the future emperor Augustus, who took the same name) became the sole ruler of the Roman world it was important to pretend that whatever they might be, they were not kings. Nope. No sir, not kings.

Since formal Roman manners were reminiscent of 19th century British ones — you often addressed your peers by surname rather by their given names — being able to address the ruler of the Roman world as “Caesar” preserved a figleaf of Roman equality in what was, in fact, a dictatorship. That habit lasted long enough to lost its original meaning and to morph into a formal title which remained in use in one way or another, for more than a thousand years.

More on that process here:

Steve Theodore · 1y

Why did Caesar come to mean emperor? Why did all Roman emperors call themselves 'Caesar of Rome'?

Actually this is history’s greatest example of what you might call the “euphemism treadmill.” Roman tradition was extremely hostile to the concept of monarchy; the founding myths of the Roman Republic were oriented around the wickedness of kings (particularly the last king, Tarquin the Arrogant). Dis…

Steve Theodore · 4y

How would commoners address royalty in Ancient Rome?

In general, our ideas about formal address reflect the history of the middle ages. Classical antiquity did not use respect-forms like “your highness” — there was not, in fact, even a Roman equivalent of “sir” or “mister” until quite late. Originally Romans greeted each other by name: “hello, Marcus…

@canon-fcdder​ SAID: ❛  ….. i’m scared.  ❜

It’s both the smallest confession Red Son has ever made— barely breathed, barely allowed to exist in the world —and yet the biggest one he’s ever spoken aloud. Let alone to another soul. Knees hugged close to his chest, mouth hidden behind them and gaze focused on the slats of the ship, he refuses to look in MK’s direction. Refuses to see whatever emotions may be accosting that stupid face.

Grip around his legs grows tighter, the air around Red Son becoming hotter with barely-contained shame, the fire demon choosing to interpret it as anger. THAT’S what causes the ends of his hair to flicker with more fervor than usual, the harmless (at the moment) flames that merge into red strands crackling in defiance to the silence that surrounds their hideaway. Anger makes his blood boil, makes his cheeks burn and his gaze follow suit. Anger is what drives the confession. What drives the stone settling in his stomach. The chill accosting his bones.

He’s angry. He’s angry, he’s angry, he’s angry…

❝  There. Are you happy now, Noodle Boy?  ❞ Red Son spats, huffing and fully averting his gaze, cheek resting atop of his knees as he snaps,  ❝  You got me to admit it. I, Red Son— heir of the most powerful and feared family that WILL rule this pathetic planet of peasants —am… not entirely sure we’ll be able to rescue my father from that Spider Menace.  ❞  That’s not exactly what he admitted earlier, but he refuses to acknowledge it again.

 Sighing, he scoots himself further away, wanting to make it clear that he doesn’t want to be touched. Noodle Boy seems like the touchy-feely type. It’s disgusting.  ❝  Now- leave me alone.  ❞  He mumbles, praying that will be the end of the conversation.  —  (( *dabs and gives This* ))

MK's brows raise at the confession, staring at Red Son in shocked yet sympathetic silence. Honestly, he's a little shocked -- it's not like Red Son to admit things like these so openly, not without trying to interrogate it out of him first. Any doubt he might have had about trusting him? All but disintegrated into ashes. Part of MK is relieved, but it's the bittersweet kind. After all, there's no way the other would lie about his intentions and then put himself in such a vulnerable conversation. Red Son is many things, but he's also extremely prideful; kind of hard to miss an ego like that.

Taking note of the other's behaviour, the frown on the Monkie Kid's face deepens, and there's a subconscious step back at the spitting of fire from the other's hair. No, this isn't acting. He doesn't care what the others might say. Red Son isn't acting here. No one could mimic that sense of angered helplessness, and MK would know. He's been in that spot many, many times. Feeling disorientated and lost, like you can't do ANYTHING to help the people you care about. Like you can't do anything to save yourself.

❝ ...I get it, ❞ he admits finally, having stood there in speechless silence as he'd contemplated what to say. He knows how much it took the other to say something like that... so he wants him to feel heard. He's not going to push him away like everyone else might. Sighing quietly, he moves to sit down near the fire demon, though maintains the distance between them. Something tells him getting closer to someone who could happily set him alight isn't a good idea, especially when they're like this. ❝ It's hard, y'know? No one ever talks about how hard it is. How you're expected to have this big, great solution for everybody, but you're terrified. Terrified of getting it wrong, terrified of failing the people that you care about. ❞

A decided pause as he looks to Red Son genuinely.

❝ I'm scared too, ❞ he continues, looking toward fidgeting hands. ❝ The Monkey King, my friends, the city... if I don't stop the Spider Queen, I'll lose everything. ❞ He takes a breath. ❝ We'll lose everything. So I want you to know, you're not on your own, Red Son. We're in this together. We might both be scared out of our minds, sure, but... we're scared together. And I’m not bailing anytime soon. ❞

[bengesko]

my situation with the SIL is.... weird.

First off: I knew the family came with Rowan, and I accept this.

The SIL lives with us. She's on the spectrum, too (undiagnosed) and she's not good at living by herself. (We- including herself- often compare her to our dog Callie in that she's got serious separation anxiety lol)

With food, I buy my own food with EBT, but if the household needs general things like flour, eggs, etc, or if there's something Matilda likes, I'll get it for her when I see it.

SIL, unfortunately, has weird food habits in that she's possessive over a lot of food she buys for herself, but has no problem helping herself to food I buy unless I SPECIFICALLY say it's all mine.

Also, she.... has weird things about food that makes me ill, tbh.

I bought a large chunk of white cheddar cheese since we use it in a lot of stuff. I told her I was happy for anyone to use it, but if she wanted to use it, she HAD to seal it up after using it.

I found it in the fridge in a ziploc bag, but it wasn't closed. I closed it. Came back a few hours later, found it open again. I confronted her about it and she said she prefers the way cheese tastes if left open to "air out the flavor."

I told her I paid for the cheese and don't want it to taste like fridge. She then got MAD at me when I cut the exposed end off (along with a 1/4th of the chunk) and handed it to her. Told her "Then here is your part to leave open as you like. The other part is mine, please leave it alone unless you keep it wrapped."

She said I was too touchy and that's how she's always eaten cheese. I told her that's fine, but I prefer mine to taste like CHEESE, not fridge.

She does this with bread, too. Unless I say it's mine, I will find my tortillas, bread etc, opened or only loosely closed- then she gets mad when I say "Have it, then" and won't touch it. I will NOT risk eating bread mold.

Also, if I don't specifically say something is mine, she'll pick at things (A bag of romaine heads? She'll take all the crisp leaves in the center and leave the outer leaves for me. Avocados? She purposely puts them in bags with bananas to make them squishier faster.)

She's also kind of petty in that if I buy something I know she likes, but claim it as mine, she'll shove it to the back of the fridge, or put it under things so it's harder for me to find it, or make it go bad quicker. (She put a whole bunch of stuff on top of a bag of spinach I said was mine, and half the bag became bruised and soggy.)

There's also this unspoken rule that if she cooks a meal for "everyone," that means one or two helpings for everyone, and the rest is all for her, and she will get mad if you have more than that, but gets upset if I don't eat her cooking.

She's the reason I want a mini fridge for my room. She's really hard to understand, and I'm tired of trying to figure her out.

4.      “Oh, ho! Look at me! That’s me as a baby!”

5.      “This is the real me. Not this. This.”

6.      “See this palace? Everyone in it is at my command.”

7.      “You threw off my groove!”

8.      “I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the emperor’s groove.”

9.      “Your highness, it’s time for you to choose your bride.”

10.   “Trot out the ladies. Let’s take a look.”

11.   “Let me guess, you have a great personality.”

12.   “What is he babbling about? He’s like the thing that wouldn’t shut up.”

13.   “Let me show you the people responsible for ruining my life.”

14.   “Don’t be fooled by the folksy peasant look.”

15.   “Don’t throw off his groove!”

16.   “Beware the groove!”

17.   “You see what I mean? This guy’s trouble!”

18.   “Check out this piece of work.”

19.   “It is no concern of mine whether your family has…what was it again?”

20.   “You really should have thought of that before you became peasants.”

21.   “The nerve of some of those peasants, huh?”

22.   “I’m the emperor and you’re the emperor’s advisor. Remember that?”

23.   “I was only dealing with meaningless peasant matters.”

24.   “Look at these wrinkles. What is holding this woman together?”

25.   “Whoa! No touchy!”

26.   “How else can I say it? You’re being let go, your department’s being downsized, you’re part of an outplacement. We’re going in a different direction. We’re not picking up your option. Take your pick, I got more.”

27.   “I have been nothing if not loyal to the empire for many years.”

28.   “Hey, hey everybody hits their stride. You just hit yours 50 years ago.”

29.   “You are just the man I wanted to see.”

30.   “Word on the street is you can fix my problem. You can fix my problem, can’t you?”

31.   “Are you aware of just how important your village is to the empire?”

32.   “You got a pretty sweet little setup there on top of that hill, don’t you?”

33.   “My family has lived on that hilltop for the last six generations.”

34.   “When the sun hits that ridge just right, these hills sing.”

35.   “Isn’t it great? It’s my birthday gift to me.”

36.   “Let me clear it up for you. At my birthday celebration tomorrow, I give the word and your town will be destroyed.”

37.   “He can’t get rid of me that easily! Who does that ungrateful little worm think he is?”

38.   “With him out of the way and no heir to the throne, I’ll take over and rule the empire.”

39.   “The only ones who know about that are the three of us, soon to be the two of us.”

40.   “Pull the lever! Wrong lever! Why do we even have that lever?”

41.   “I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box. And then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives I’ll smash it with a hammer!”

42.   “I’ll just poison him with this.”

43.   “Our moment of triumph approaches!”

44.   “Oh, right. The poison. The poison for [NAME]. The poison chosen specifically to kill [NAME]. [NAME]’s poison. That poison?”

45.   “A few drops in his drink, then I’ll propose a toast, and he will be dead before dessert.”

46.   “Let’s get to the grub. I am one hungry king of the world.”

47.   “We were just making a toast to your long and…healthy…rule.”

48.   “So what are you gonna do? I mean, you’ve been around here a long time, and I really mean a long time.”

49.   “It might be difficult for someone of your age adjusting to life in the private sector.”

50.   “Can you top me off, pal? Be a friend?”

51.   “A llama?! He’s supposed to be dead!”

52.   “You know, in my defense, your poisons all look alike. You might think about relabeling some of them.”

53.   “Take him out of town and finish the job now!”

54.   “Still think I’m the victim here?”

55.   “He’s doing his own theme music?”

56.   “Don’t listen to that guy. He’s trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I’m gonna lead you down the path that rocks.”

57.   “What am I gonna tell the village?”

58.   “I think I’m still growing! Measure me again!”

59.   “You and I both know that it’s impossible for him to have grown in the last five minutes.”

60.   “I ate a bug today!”

61.   “Our deal was that you could stay awake until Daddy came home. Now say goodnight.”

62.   “You two can stay up. We’re just gonna be sitting here telling each other how much we love each other.”

63.   “Emperor or no emperor, it’s called common courtesy.”

64.   “If that were me, I’d march right back there and demand to see him. And you know I would.”

65.   “Demon llama? Where?”

66.   “What do you mean I don’t look like the emperor?”

67.   “Why would I kidnap a llama?”

68.   “You’re the criminal mastermind. Not me.”

69.   “I can’t let you go back unless you change your mind and build your summer home somewhere else.”

70.   “I got a little secret for you. Come here. No. Closer.”

71.   “I don’t make deals with peasants!”

72.   “I don’t need you. I can find my own way back.”

73.   “I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a little dangerous if you don’t know the way.”

74.   “Okay, that was the freakiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

75.   “Don’t worry, your highness! I gotcha! You’re safe now!”

76.   “Maybe I’m just new to this whole rescuing thing, but this, to me, might be considered kind of a step backwards wouldn’t you say?”

77.   “I don’t know about you, but I’m getting all funned out.”

78.   “Don’t tell me. We’re about to go over a huge waterfall. Sharp rocks at the bottom? Bring it on.”

79.   “For the last time, it was not a kiss.”

80.   “If you would’ve done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could’ve been spared your little kiss of life.”

81.   “Deep down I think you’ll realize that you’re forcing an entire village out of their homes just for you.”

82.   “Nobody’s that heartless.”

83.   “Everyone else in the kingdom gets it. You’re the only one that doesn’t seem to be with the program.”

84.   “You know what? Someday you’re going to wind up all alone, and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.”

85.   “For the final time, I order you to take me back to the palace.”

86.   “Looks to me like you’re stuck out here, because unless you change your mind, I’m not taking you back.”

87.   “He’s never going to change his mind.”

88.   “And so it is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved prince, taken from us so tragically on the very eve of his 18th birthday.”

89.   “His legacy will live on in our hearts for all eternity.”

90.   “Well, he ain’t getting’ any deader. Back to work.”

91.   “He is dead, right? Tell me he’s dead. I need to hear those words.”

92.   “Do you need to hear all those words exactly?”

93.   “Well, he’s not at dead as we would’ve hoped.”

94.   “Are you saying you’ve changed your mind? Because you know that means you’re doing something nice for something else.”

95.   “Don’t shake unless you mean it.”

96.   “I was going to have you imprisoned for life, but I kind of like this better.”

97.   “I thought you were a changed man.”

98.   “Come on. I had to say something to get you to take me back to the city.”

99.   “So all of it was a lie?”

100. “You know, the funny thing about shaking hands is you need hands.”

101. “That’s for going back on your promise!”

102. “Why did I risk my life for a selfish brat like you? I was always taught that there was good in everyone, but oh, you proved me wrong.”

103.  “I could’ve let you die out there in that jungle, and then all my problems would be over.”

104.  “Calm down. I have an idea. Give me your arm. Okay, now the other one. When I say go, push against my back, and we’ll walk up the hill. Ready?”

105.  “We’re gonna have to work together to get out of this, so follow my lead.”

106.  “How do I know you won’t let me fall after you grab the rope?”

107.  “You know, it’s a good thing you’re not a big, fat guy or this would be really difficult.”

108.  “You just saved my life.”

109.  “I knew it, that there is some good in you after all.”

110.  “Don’t read that much into it. It was a one-time thing.”

111.  “Four days it a long time. Who knows? Maybe you’ll change your mind.”

112.  “It’s not you. She’s not the easiest person to get close to. There’s a wall there. Trust me.”

113.   “Are you talking to that squirrel?”

114.   “Bless you for coming out in public.”

115.   “When will you learn that all my ideas are good ones?”

116.   “Anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude.”

117.   “I’m just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef.”

118.   “Please, with this disguise. I’m invisible.”

119.   “It’s a simple question. Is there or is there not anything edible on this menu?”

120.    “Was this woman scary beyond all reason?”

121.    “Trust me, they’re not here to save you.”

122.    “They’ll take me back to the palace. Thanks for your help. You’ve been great. I can take it from here.”

123.    “You don’t understand. They’re trying to kill you.”

124.    “Kill me? Their whole world revolves around me.”

125.   “You don’t want to take me back to the palace. You want to keep me stranded out here forever.”

126.    “This has all been an act and I almost fell for it.”

127.    “You got a point. Nobody really seems to care that he’s gone, do they?”

128.   “So this is where you came in. See, just like I said, I’m the victim here. I didn’t do anything and they ruined my life and took everything I had.”

129.    “Hey, give it a rest up there, will you?”

130.    “She’s hiding something. When I give the word, we search the house.”

131.    “Perhaps we can have a tour of your lovely home.”

132.    “Was it a good idea to leave your family with those two?”

133.    “No! It can’t be! How did you get back here before us?”

134.    “Well, you got me. By all accounts, it doesn’t make sense.”

135.    “Okay, I admit it, maybe I wasn’t as nice as I should have been, but do you really want to kill me?”

136.    “It’s called a cruel irony, like my dependence on you.”

137.     “Why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing! It’s like I’m talking to a monkey.”

138.      “Do you want to know something else? I’ve never liked your spinach puffs.”

139.     “From above, the wicked shall receive their just reward.”

140.      “Kill them! They murdered the emperor!”

141.      “What are the odds of that trapdoor leading me out of here?”

142.       “You stop being so hard on yourself. All is forgiven.”

143.      “It’s not the first time I was tossed out a window, and it won’t be the last.”

144.      “What can I say? I’m a rebel.”

What is July 2 Zodiac Sign? Here’s What You Should Know!

When the Late spring Solstice introduces the longest, most daylight filled days of the year, it's Malignant growth season. Yearly, roughly between June 21 and July 22, the sun travels through the fourth indication of the zodiac, Disease, represented by the crab.

For the majority, the primary happy a month of summer are enjoyed with loved ones at a nearby ocean side or pool, nibbling on most loved occasional food varieties (hi, bar-b-que). This life-cherishing energy is impacted by Disease, a water sign related with natural sexiness, wistfulness, and an appreciation for life's basic delights, particularly food and family. These qualities are owed to Malignant growth's decision heavenly body, the moon, known not just for its gravitational draw (which impacts the tides) however its capacity to direct our feelings and instinct, feeling of safety and security, as well as our senses.

A couple profoundly feeling, empathetic, and perpetually engaging Crabs: Mindy Kaling, Kristen Chime, Priyanka Chopra, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Solange, Tess Holliday, Lana Del Rey, Malala Yousafzai, Elizabeth Warren, and Margot Robbie. These celebs are mysteriously wired to channel their extreme feelings to really focusing on others and communicating an interesting comprehension of the human condition and heart.

Here, all that you want to be familiar with the wistful, giving, and charming sign.

Disease Character Qualities Those brought into the world between June 21 and July 22 can for the most part reason that their sun sign is Disease. (It's not conclusive, on the grounds that the sun moves between signs on various days every year.) Likewise note that while we will generally allude to ourselves as our sun sign, it's only one detail of a natal diagram, which is essentially a special preview of the sky when you were conceived. Yet, a detail assists variety your center with detecting of self, character, individual style, confidence, and certainty.

The shut-in of the zodiac Regular sun in Disease qualities incorporate being supporting, touchy, merciful, self-defensive, security-chasing and offering, cherishing, and showing a silly, charming funny bone. These qualities reflect subjects covered by the Fourth Place of Home Life, which Disease rules. The Fourth House covers our homegrown lives, our homes, how we were nurtured and could parent (in a real sense or metaphorically) in our lives, and feelings and recollections from youth that could variety your ongoing reality.

The regular conceived guardian Since the close to home, maternal moon impacts Malignant growth's character so seriously, the water sign will in general focus on — and every so often contort themselves into hitches — to cause the vast majority in their life to feel even somewhat more agreeable and secure. They'll empty their heart into really focusing on plants and pets similarly as friends and family. Preparing or baking dinners and treats with a lot of adoration is their claim to fame, however on the off chance that a second requires a wistful card, bundle of roses, or FaceTime get up to speed meeting, they'll be holding nothing back on that too. And keeping in mind that they're deeply faithful and will continuously appear for their companions, family starts things out for these sincere homebodies.

The cardinal water sign Each sign is relegated a quality (cardinal, changeable, or fixed), which makes sense of the sign's fundamental energy. There's a cardinal, variable, and fixed sign inside each component (fire, earth, air, water). Disease is the cardinal one of the water bunch, which tries them out getter, 10,000 foot view arranging point of view. They're ready to think in a creative, aggressive way, and that implies they're naturals at starting striking plans.

Disease's best character attributes: Sympathetic, frequently sweet, in every case profoundly feeling, and equipped for laughing uncontrollably their internal circle with their odd or silly funny bone, you can depend on the Diseases in your day to day existence to offer a source of genuine sympathy and newly prepared treats. They are the zodiac's purveyors of care bundles, nostalgic emoticon peppered messages, and cordial discussions over a steaming cup of chamomile tea. They're your conspicuous date for that food truck slither, the companion who won't scrutinize an irregular tirade about that eighth-grade squash, or the insightful, genuinely present sweetheart you can depend on for relentless cuddle meetings and an unrestricted stream of soft words.

Disease's most terrible character qualities: Disease's extraordinary association with their feelings doesn't come without its pessimistic side, which is a propensity to be ill humored and smart (they are the Crab, all things considered) when annoyed in an especially delicate, upset state. Whether they're upset or suffocating in their sentiments, frequently because of feeling that their giving nature has been exploited, they'll rush to withdraw into their shell. They might offer a sharp-conditioned comment prior to tossing their telephone on 'don't upset' and agonizing ceaselessly. The fix for Malignant growth's most harsh mind-set is a valuable chance to rest, re-energize, and maybe even ruminate a piece prior to turning their humane heart back over to everybody they interact with.

Re: Cuddly Hannibal Gifset by Queen Rocktheholygrail (omg, why am I suddenly subjecting her to my AU?? I’m sorry. I just love your gifs, babe! HUGE FAN! I can’t help myself!):

Hannibal lowering himself ever so slightly to Caro, she who has a tendency to being held, carried, cuddled, & generally just Close to him makes me so sad. Not because of like, the emotional ties to it. That’s an aspect, but that’s not why. The main reason has to do with Hannibal’s person suit. In reference to Hannibal’s person suit, I will be referring to it as “masking” as that is the term that I could best use that encompasses The active perform ability/tell ability that goes into the “making of the suit”, so to speak. It’s quite obvious to tell that Hannibal masks in order for him to not only be more palatable to people so they don’t find out that he’s a serial cannibal, but also so then he can continue to keep relationships and appearances viable so that he is more acclimated and excepted in traditional societal norms. Which is what masking is. We force ourselves to become palatable to neurotypical’s because if we don’t, they get uncomfortable with us being our neurodivergent little selves. To clarify part two: I understand that Hannibal’s distaste for touch also leads to be very neurodivergent coded, however, and I know I’m going to get a lot of shit for this, I wanna bend the rules a bit. I want to keep him not super cuddly, but with an exception. I’m sure we can all guess who that exception is. Carolina is a textbook Latin. At least in the more physical, huggy, Kissy, touchy aspects. We’re a very physical people. There’s always gonna be a lot of squeezing going around, and Los Muñozes are no exception. So with Caro, she has this instinctual, learned behavior of always being very physically affectionate. But! It is also with specific people. Mostly her nuclear family, and Hannibal. She has always ALWAYS had a physical relationship with him, there is a need for her to be close to him if her parents aren’t around or something. She is either going to be at his side, probably holding his hand, grazing her thumb on his knuckle, kind of leaning on him, and if there’s no one around, or she’s just with her parents and him, it’ll be like that cuddly scene that I sent you ages ago. She’s going to just naturally be very clingy with him. And their distance, that was five or six years of separation has subconsciously affected her in the way that she acts around him. She kind of over does it, she knows that, but it’s her own way of trying to make up for lost time. She is also very aware of when Hannibal just isn’t in the mood, and she backs off. But even with that backing off, they’ll both break a little bit and probably end up holding hands, or like I have an a scene coming up, interlock index fingers. Holy shit, it’s 2 AM. And I have work. I don’t know how I managed to do all of this. Let me know if some parts don’t make sense. It is very late, and sometimes my brain doesn’t work. Good night.

I am trying so hard to not blurt out spoilers (...but I think you may have seen the scene numerous times in gifs thanks to following me 😂) but there's a really cool moment near the end of the series where Hanni is having the first genuine intimate moment we've ever seen him have. Like no manipulating, no gaslighting, just pure intimacy.

But back to the point - yes this all makes sense. Now, off to bed with you! :)
