"Cool Girl" || Halstead! Sister One Shot || Jay Halstead x Sister
*re-posting this because I'm stupid and accidentaly delated my blog 🫠
Tumblr media
First time writing teen Becca.
Jay was so tired that he had fallen asleep watching TV. Actually, the only reason he woke up was because the gunshots on the movie playing were too loud. He scratched his eyes as he yawned and stretched himself, not wanting to stand up. "What time is it?" he asked to himself, and then muttered a "Fuck!" when he saw the clock on his phone.
He turned his head to look at the kitchen and it was intact, lights off and all cleaned. "She surely didn't even made herself a sandwish. I bet she hasn't eat anything all afternoon, since we arrived" - He grumbled as he stood. -"If I don't cook, she doesn't eat. She has to learn to do things for herself, this girl...". Jay wasn't even thinking what he was saying. He was still half asleep in zombie mode, which helped for the words that came out of Becca's room to have more impact on him.
He stopped dead in the middle of the hallway, not sure of what he was hearing: Nick loved a girl I was pretending to be. "Cool girl". Men always use that, don't they? It was definitely Becca.
Jay walked slowly towards the door, trying not to make noises. Her sister's voice was clearer as he came closer: As their defining compliment: "She's a cool girl". 
-"What the hell?" He muttered as he stepped outside of the room with his ear on the door.
Cool girl is hot. Cool girl is game. Cool girl is fun. Cool girl never gets angry at her man.
The detective slowly opened the door until he was able to see the back of his sister, she was facing to the mirror. There was something in her hands, but he couldn't figure what was it.
She only smiles in a chagrined, loving manner. And then presents her mouth for fuc--
-"WHO ARE YOU TALKING WITH?" Jay whipped the door and jumped inside of the room.
Becca was frightened by his brother's intrusion and screamed a bit as she turned to face him. She was holding a sheet of paper in her hands: "WHAT'S GOING ON? WE DON'T KNOCK THE DOOR ANYMORE?"
-"What was that? Who's Nick, Becca?" Her brother crossed his arms in a scolding position.
-"What!? Oh! You mean..." She bursted into laughter, unable to talk.
He was growing in cholera: "Becca Halstead, I'm not playing. Who the hell is Nick!?"
-"Relax, silly! Nick's nobody, literally. It's just a character".
Jay was confused.
-"It's a monologue...from a movie...for my acting class. I have to memorice it and I was talking to the mirror because I have no one to rehearse with. So, yeah Nick doesn't exist, you can chill". She laughed a bit more.
-"Oh" Jay's tense body started to relax. -"That's a pretty heavy content for you, anyway".
-"My teacher talked to you about this when I was moved to the advanced class and you agreed".
He frowned tryig to remember that conversation.
-"I don't see what's the problem. We already watched this movie...".
Jay's confused face was becoming more noticeable.
-"Gone Girl? Will chose it for a movie night. You teased him because the protagonist was very similar to one of his many ex-girlfriends".
Her brother chuckled: "Ah, I remember".
-"Look, this was given to us randomly, but I can talk to my teacher and change it if you prefer".
-"No. I mean, I don't know. You already watched the movie, I'll just give it a check if you don't mind".
-"Sure". She handled him the paper.
He changed the subject after a few seconds of silence: "I bet you didn't eat anything, right?" There was some accusation in his tone.
-"I had leftovers from lunch. I intented to make a sandwich, but I didn't want to wake you up. You seemed to be very tired".
Jay felt bad for how he had judged his sister before: "Alright. Put on your shoes, we're going out for hamburgers".
Becca gave a small jump of excitement and she hurriedly grabbed her boots: "I rather pizza, if you don't mind".
Thanks for reading. If you liked it, it would help my soul if you give it a like, comment or share. 😌♡

Joe Quinn's Poltergeist (2019) by David Almond
I already find english difficult to read at times, but reading english written in irish accent - what a challenge! This book is a comic about an unstable household of a lying mother and a son, telling MC Davie that they have a poltergeist in their house - claiming it's Davie's recently deceased little sister Barbara.
Davie is sceptical and asks a drunken priest to come and confirm if it is his sister's ghost. And at the rundown house, it's frustratingly suspicious how things fly across the room and randomly break ONLY when the mother or son is present, and only at times when the others are looking at another direction. The pair however keeps denying and coldly loving the attention they get from this.
The priest first agrees it's BS but then gets sexually persuaded by the mother, and quickly gives up his faith to assure it's a ghost there. Davie decides to believe him, that unknown forces are present but also at the same time identifies the poltergeist not as his sister - but as their own manifestation of anger and sorrow. Like they blame a ghost instead of crying over their own tragic situation. Esthetically beautiful illustrations but the philosophical plot was a bit boring for me. 2/5 stars

Which hand would you like? (1987) by Vita Andersen
A young child is left alone in an apartment as her parents leave for a family dinner party. We learn pretty quickly by the lonesome narration and memories that she's pretty neglected by her parents, and desperately wish for her mother's love. Home alone, the girl makes herself food since the parents didn't leave her any. She makes a butter sandwish with lots of sugar on top. Even if she drops it face down, and it gets full with cat hair, she still eats it and sneaks up to sit in her mothers bed which is not allowed. We learn her mother was a ballerina before becoming pregnant. The child's father's name is Jens.
We then jump to months later, the child visits a hotel where her mother now lives. They're now divorced, and even though it's the mother's turn to care for the child, she only gives some money and toys through the door, refusing to let her into the room. So the kid spends her time just walking around aimlessly. In this chapter we learn that the mother's name is Melissa. She grew up in a household of 10 sibling and watched her mother stay with a man she didn't love. Melissa then grew up craving affection and finding glimpses of it through sexual favors of men. She fell in love with a married man named William, but realized she was pregnant after a quick fling with Jens. Jens, happy to become a father suggested they marry so they did.
But Melissa always dreamt of William and continued meeting him, and have no interest (maybe even disgust) towards her own daughter. Even though there's no signs of William leaving his wife, Melissa still spends her time waiting for him, daydreaming about a lavish lifestyle when in reality it's not like that at all.
I dropped this book because it was very difficult to read. Time jumps and sudden memories are in the middle of the real time narration (it's a running text, no paragraphs), making it confusing and quite annoying to read. The dialogues are weird. They sound like a direct translation from something, like words are not bent right. But i can't tell if it's a mistake or a choice to have them speak incoherent for realism, which makes it kinda all over the place when written as text. 1/5 stars

Do you do poly reactions for the obey me boys. I mean in the game MC is basicly fucking all of them and they must know that
Oh, do I do poly ships? Heh...well *glances at my mc that I ship with Satan and sometimes with Beel others with Belphie* Indeed I do! : D
And now, without further ado, the boys reaction when Mc tells them she loves them all-
Note: I do not know much poly relationships work, but i wanted to add some of the brothers personalities soi apologize if i wrote something that is offensive in any way.
Lucifer:
Not gonna lie, he was kinda offended by this
Like, you have HIM, the avatar of Pride, first born and one of the most powerful demons...and he has to be in the same position as his brothers?!
After the initial shock he would have actually be kind of okay with the idea of "sharing." After all, that way they all won't need to be fighthing for who gets Mc, instead all of them get Mc.
This man legit set up a schedule for who and when gets to spend time with you.
Which didn't last 3 days because...c'mon on, he wanted more than just a day with Mc!
Mammon:
Excuse you?! You wanted him, The Great Mammon, avatar of GREED to SHARE?!
It takes some convincing, but o ce he sees that the dynamic between y'all doesn't change much he doesn't mind it as much when you get lovey with his brothers.
He did discover that if he gets pouty it will get him a kiss on the cheek.
Tho, he is constantly butting in when you want to have 1 on 1 with the other brothers.
He actually walked in on you and Asmodeus making out, and refused to leave until he got a kiss of his own. (Of course he got the kiss, you can't resist any of those adorable demons)
Levi:
"Of course, why would you love only me when it's clear I'm just a worthless Otaku? Im sure you don't even actually want me-" he gets cut off by a kiss.
Being the avatar of envy, and it all mixing with his insecurities, it wasn't surprising that he was the most time that took to understand you loved him just as much as the others and not less.
But, after he got it, he found it pleasant to be able to just hang with you as a "date" without needing to stress over his next move with basically his brothers were also doing moves on you.
Actually, the fact that he had his brothers around to waiting to spend time with you made him a bit more daring.
He didn't want to waste any of the time you spent with him so he used it to the fullest now!
Satan:
Next to Asmodeus, he was one of the best one who took it! This was an ideal solution for all of them to have the person they loved without having any fights!
Tho, he hated the fact that this meant he had to "share" with Lucifer.
"Why did you had add him to the mix? He is just going to want you all do himself..."
Satan knows how much his brothers can be, so when you go to him he knows you are looking for something less chaotic than usual and he just smiles and takes you on cute lil dates which always end up with the others butting in.
Sometimes he just hides with you in his room to get some peace, sometimes he just shares a look with you when his brothers are being annoying.
Asmodeus:
This boy wouldn't even bat an eye at this. He would just chuckle, look at you and say "As long as you know I'm the cutest one I'm okay!"
He actually helps his brothers plan small dates with you!
He sometimes gets a little jelaous when you compliment any of the others but he knows you still love him lots
One of his fave things to do with you when you get alone time is cuddle
Which always gets interrupted, ALWAYS, by either Leviathan of Mammon looking for you.
Beel and Belphie:
Well...considering they have a literal chatroom called “Sandwish attic club” you know those two took it well.
Heck, Beel actually got really happy when he found out you had feelings for all of them. He loves you and he loves his family a lot, so the idea that all of them can be just as happy as he is with you made him happy!
Belphie on the other hand...he had no problems “sharing” with Beel, or even Satan and Levi. But c’mon...Asmodeus, Mammon and Lucifer? He wasnt that excited about it.
But as long as he didnt see you kissing them while he was around it was more than okay.
The two have a system. Which all the brothers are aware of and wont interrupt. It consist of Beel taking you out to eat with him, and bringing them back so they can nap with Belphie.
Sometimes the others try to sneak you away from them but it doesn't work most of the time. If they are lucky tho, Satan and Levi would be in the room doing their own thing and just enjoying the  peace.
Aighty! This was fun to write and imagining what the boys might do to try and sabotages the others “Mc time”. Hope this is what you wanted anon! Stay safe people!!

-
Monster (Vampire!Dean x Reader) (NSFW / Dark)

Top 5 Fiveya Scenes!
Tough question! If you think about it their scenes are few compared to enterity of each season and yet they’re so meaningful. I’ll write the scenes in crescendo order, from bottom to top. I put everything under the “keep reading” line because I really talk too much. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about Fiveya! 
1. The coffe shop moment in Dallas. It’s just a tender scene. The first real interaction Vanya had with someone who was her family, Luther was not that good with his explanation and didn’t stick around after telling his bit. It was almost cute how Five tried to keep the truth about the Apocalypse from her, to not burden her with the knowledge she killed 7 billions people, but a stupid decision that bit him back later. He did it out of care for Vanya (and a bit of convenience for himself), but he needs to stop avoiding the discourse “Vanya is the cause of the Apocalypse”. As I said wrote in a meta before, until they will sort out together the Apocalypse thing, it’s never gonna to be closed as theme (in which they are the two pivotal points). I am also amused by how Five interrupt her phone call. 
2. Their first private time together, in front of Five’s portrait. It set the tone of their future interactions. It made you understand that when they talk with each other, they tend to have private conversations loaded with some tenderness or intimacy or different level of importance. It also happened after Vanya talked about him with Pogo, which linked immediately the two with an invisible thread. The fact the conversation with Pogo was about the time she waited/hoped for his return is considerably more important, because right after that Five did return. Five and Vanya are linked. The show tells you that.
Then you discovered he had read her book in the future (later you will also discover that he kept that book with him after leaving the Apocalypse and it was the place where he wrote down his equation to come back to his family. It was that important for him) and with her he talks softer, he is less an of an asshole and you know that, because you have just seen how he talked with the other siblings (Diego, Luther). He kind comforted Vanya too (“Ah, there are worse things” than exposing our family’s dirty laundry, not like she didn’t tell the truth). It was also interesting how Vanya was the one approaching him, tentatively and how they were establishing again a way to interact with each other.
3. Vanya and Five arguing like a married couple, after Luther told her she caused the Apocalypse. Excuse me but that scene is too funny and lovely. Five was all smug and cocky, as usual, so certain she would follow him after talking with Luther and then he went instantly in panic mode, because she was leaving him. He let Luther go the first time, not making a very big effort with him. However, with Vanya is all “UnCCEptAble VANYA!” the second she said she going back to the farm (subtext: back to her farm friend frau, who is not just a friend and Five knew that. Oh, he knew that. He is clever, remember?). 
Vanya is rightful pissed off by the omitted information, even if she doesn’t have her memory back she felt betrayed by Five (who she trusted, even though he was technically a complete stranger). The whole argument is just funny and I enjoyed it too much. I love every micro-expressions their faces did, bless Ellen and Aidan. Five could have blinked inside the car, but nope, he knocked at the window trying very hard to be a sensitive person. She chould have driven away the second she was inside the car, but she took down the window and listened Five when she didn’t have too. Their faces the second before the car window was taken down were fantastic! It was literally wifey-husbando situation in my head and I couldn’t stop giggling. 
And again, Five’s tone of voice with her is always soft or deep. Whoever let Aidan plays Five like that with Vanya deserve a fruit basket. 
4.The stand-off scene in the middle of the road: ICONIC. The sweet, sweet tension between them could be cut with a knife, delicious, oustanding, visceral. Two tiny people ready (not really, not even close, they really did not want to) to blow each other up and destroy some corn fields from existence? Starring at each other in a crescendo of tension, yet each of them looked uncertain (especially almighty Five)? Vanya knows that she can take Five down and Five knows it too? Vanya not pursuing her threat because, despite not really knowing Five and having her memory back, she doesn’t want to hurt her family, therefore him? Five giving up first, knowing he shouldn’t be so partial to Vanya and yet he let her go anyway? I love it all. 
I mean, do I need to say more? All these are rethorical questions. Thank you for this scene, it was one of the best of season 2 for me. It made me excited and thrilled to the core. THE TENSION. BLESS THEM. 👏👏👏 I explain here why I also think it’s an important scene for the future development of the pair and their relationship, right now I could just make some stupid noise. 
5. Vanya and Five’s moment in her apartment (both parts in EP1 and EP2). The first time, before I started shipping them, I didn’t expect such scene of intimacy and confidence right after a spree murder scene. It’s incredibly telling that the first thing Five did, after escaping the Commission’s attack and basically death, was to seek Vanya. So far in the first episode the show wanted us to know that Five is an abrasive old man inside a 13-years-old body, who doesn’t take sh*t from anyone and bites back people with sarcasm. He also tend to treats people patronizingly and he does whatever he wants, because he has business to do. 
However, the show also marked his ability to be less of an asshole when he is around Vanya. The first time in the living room in front of his portrait and the second time in Vanya’s apartment. The first time I didn’t expect such scene, also because they already showed Five and Vanya’s closeness in the previous scene I mentioned. Why do it again? Twice in a one episode? You start to think there is something very important between Five and Vanya, then. Especially because among her sibling, so far, Vanya had a good interaction only with Allison. The show made a point fo show us that Vanya and Five had a particular connection (Because she waited him and prepared his favourite sandwish every night until she couldn’t hope no more. Because he read her book and when they are alone, he changes his tone to a softer one...still abrasive if provoked, but contained). 
So, after escaping death what did the old man do? He went to Vanya. Not even to treat his wounds (he could have gone to Hargreeves House for that), because he clearly doesn’t care, but to talk with her. Just to talk with her. It is incredibly telling of the importance that Vanya has for him. What he wanted was someone to share the one thing that obssessed him and shaped him into the person he is now, his burden, his secret, his greatest fear: the apocalypse. And Five chose Vanya. It was probably the first very time he exposed himself after decades of solitude and also the few years he couldn’t trust anyone else but himself (in the Commission). He trusted Vanya tho. He trusted her with the most vulnerable side of him. 
And Vanya listened him, even tho she didn’t understand everything and she didn’t quite believe him, but she didn’t want him to feel stupid or excluded. She did her best to understand and she tried to be there for him too. She knew Five was visibly affected by the situation, she cared for him and didn’t want him to leave her apartment in turmoil. She didn’t want to lose him again, not after 17 years (for her) wondering where in the world (when) he was and if he was alright. What she needed was time to wrap her head around the news of the end of the world (that honestly nobody would truly believe), since she was just ordinary Vanya who never had to face looming dangers or villains like her siblings. 
The intimacy of the moment (both parts in ep 1 and pe 2) was palpable. There was tenderness too: Five let her take care of his cut, something he didn’t let her other siblings do in the later episodes (he had to pass out or be drunk af to let his sibling see him vulnerable or let them take care for him). It was literally a bubble where time stopped for them (Five doesn’t have time, remember? He insisted on this point, yet here he was, taking time to talk with Vanya).
The moment they shared that first night set not only the importance of their connection and how they interact with each other, but also made clear there might be something unspoken, something between them that they need to address. It’s the “we were almost something” right, kind of moment? And for me it was stronger than any other “they may or not may” between Allison and Luther tbh. But I might be too fiveya biased xD.

Kiss It Better - Gyro Zeppeli
Tumblr media
 The Steel Ball Run...So many stages, so many problems, so many difficulties...And so many people that had to drop out of the race because of the harsh weather and environmental conditions. Not to mention the fact that some participants may or may not attack others voluntarily, despite it being against the rules and risking elimination.
Not that they care, per say, as long as there’s less competition and they have a higher chance to get one of the money prizes, even if it’s not the big grand.
Anyhow, Y/N was fine on her own and did everything she could to make sure she was as far away from people as possible, but despite that, she encountered the infamous Diego Brando, who wasn’t as bad as he appeared, and spent the night camping together, before going on different paths.
The same happened with another woman called Hot Pants, whose ability meant using a flesh spray, which shocked Y/N, but she was incredibly pleasantly surprised nonetheless.
They were on amiable terms now, but that didn’t mean they would travel together for the rest of the race.
Somewhere around the last quarter of the race, on one cold night, Y/N decided to make camp somewhere soon, but her surprise was huge when she saw ahead of her a fire, 2 horses and 2 people, which indicated an obvious camp.
What was odd, however, was that one of the men wasn’t moving at all, while the other seemed to be freaking out quite a lot.
She nudged her black horse, Dahlia, and sprinted in front of them, where she looked down at the blond man dressed in baby blue.
“What happened? Is he injured?” the girl asked, concern plastered on her face, seeing sweat drip down the boy’s face. “Yes, he’s been gravely injured. Can you help?” he asked, his blue eyes wide and pleading. “Of course.” she nodded and quickly jumped off her horse, taking the big medical kit bag and kneeling in front of the other man who seemed to be awake, but just barely conscious. “That’s a lot of blood he’s losing from so many places...Can you help me take off his upper body garments? I need to see the injuries, disinfect them and stitch them as quick as possible.” she explained to the boy, who only gulped and helped her out. “We were attacked just a few ago. He got shot in the torso and was cut on his arm, leg and chin.” the boy informed immediately. “I see...Very well, I have to make a mixture of plants to prevent festering and any more potential internal or external bleeding...But before that, I have to get some alcohol on a gauze and clean his wounds.” saying that, she took out the rubbing alcohol and poured it on the gauze, leaning in to apply it on the wounds, but the injured man’s hand suddenly gripped her wrist pretty tightly. “Poison...” he muttered, glaring at the girl weakly. “I promise it’s not poison. Here, you can smell it, it’s just the basic medicinal rubbing alcohol used in hospitals.” she smiled softly as she got the bottle close to his nose, which made him scrunch it and turn his head to the side.
She gingerly cleaned away all the wounds on his torso, chin, arms and leg. After she finished, she helped him in a sitting position so he won’t lean on the wooden log anymore, to inspect his back. As she thought, the bullet didn’t pass through, so she had to take it out.
“Sorry, but, uhm...The bullet is still inside you. I have to take it out before it gets infected or something.” she explained, looking with pity at the green eyed man. “Urgh...Do what you have to do...” he groaned, looking away from her.
Sighing, she took out her Stand, Nami, and placed her hand on his chest, using the man’s blood to locate the bullets, and thankfully, they weren’t too deep.
“H-Hey, you’re a Stand user too?!” the other boy gasped, looking confused and shocked at the girl, who could only blink in return. “You can see Nami...?” she whispered in surprise, looking at the blue eyed boy. “Y-Yeah. I have a Stand too, and Gyro has a technique, using his Steel Balls. There are others like us too out there. But what are you doing with your Stand?!” the boy’s eyes were shifting rapidly between the two people in front of him. “My Stand’s ability is called November Rain. She can use water to increase the mitotic regeneration of cells...Basically, she heals wounds, but not only that. In addition, I just used the water in Gyro’s blood to locate the two bullets, and now, I’m going to extract them. Nami, my Stand, can only turn the fatal wounds into non-fatal wounds...I’m not sure if it’s because I haven’t managed yet to get the full potential out of her, or if that’s her drawback, but that’s just the situation at hand, so I have to do everything else by myself. I...Uh...Hope you don’t mind.” she scratched the back of her head, looking at him with an unsure look. “Will Gyro be okay?” he asked in a quiet voice. “Of course he will. Ever since I’ve learnt to use my Stand, no patient ever died. I am a physician after all.” she shrugged simply, focusing on the injury and carefully extracting the lead bits. “Thank goodness they didn’t break. It wouldn’t have been too nice.” she threw the bullets in the fire. “Thank you for helping Gyro. What’s your name?” the boy asked as the girl took out a sewing kit. “My name is Y/N, it’s nice to meet you two. And what’s your name?” she asked with a soft smile on her face. “Johnny. Sorry for yelling at you to save him, I was panicking and I was skeptical. There have been many enemies around lately.” the boy explained, seemingly more at ease. “Don’t worry, Johnny, I understand. I’ve also encountered many...Interesting people, to call them mildly. Anyway, Gyro, I have to sew your wounds now. I have no actual anaesthesia with me, but uhm...I can make a little plant mix to numb the pain by...About 20%, if it helps in any way. Or I can give you some vodka, if you think it will help.” Y/N explained with a sympathetic look. “Ain’t drinkin’.” the man grumbled softly.
Nodding, she looked around in her plant bag and using Nami’s water, she created a quick mix which she dabbed on all his wounds.
“This will take a few minutes to react. Are you feeling any better, Gyro?” she asked, brushing the hair from his face. “Yeah...I’m better. Not heavenly, but better. Thanks, Y/N, I owe you one.” he let smirked weakly at her. “No, no, no, don’t worry about that! I just happened to pass by, it’s no big deal!” she shook her head, alarmed at what she just heard. “Heh...You’re pretty cute. Apparently I was right, Luck truly is a nice lady.” he grinned, showing off his golden teeth, making the girl’s eyes widen slightly at the shock. “Gyro...Zeppeli. I feel like I’ve heard it before somewhere.” she blinked, looking away to rake her brain. “Of course you heard of me! I ranked 1st in one of the stages before!” he boasted, making the girl chuckle. “I suppose that’s why. Congratulations!” she smiled softly at him, taking the  needle and poking slightly away from the wound. “Does it hurt too much?” she asked gently. “Don’t coddle me too much, just do what you have to do and let’s get it over with.” Gyro sighed, getting in a more comfortable position. “If you’re sure...” she mumbled, taking his wrist and guiding his hand to her ankle. “I can’t give you my hand, obviously, but you can grip as much as you need on my leg, I don’t mind.” she explained simply, making the man look down at her with mixed emotions pooling in his eyes.
Apologising more than she did in her entire life, she kept getting the needle in and out of his skin, forming X shapes with the tread and easily closing the open wound on his chest. She did the same with the wound on his abdomen, leg, arm, forearm...But then, it was just under the chin.
“Are you okay, Gyro? Do you need a break? Some water? Anything?” she asked worriedly, seeing him pant for air slightly. “No...I’m fine. Go on, don’t stop, adrenaline is covering some of that pain now, don’t let it wash away.” he warned her as he let his head back. “I didn’t realise you knew medical stuff. I’m impressed.” she hummed lightly, working on the wound, as he only grunted in pain, squeezing the girl’s ankle and gritting his teeth so he won’t slap her hand away or something irrational. “There, all done. Now to put the gauze on the wound...And that’s it.” she smiled tenderly, patting his head. “Thanks, Y/N. Let’s hope I won’t have to go through that again.” he snorted in amusement. “Hold on.” she took our a lime green handkerchief and cupping his face, she dabbed at his eyes, wiping away the stray tears. “All better now.” “Nyohoho, you’re even cuter than I imagined, missy.” he grinned brightly now that there was no more pain from the procedures left. “No, no, nothing of the sort.” she shook her head in amusement. “Now, to dress your wounds, and that’s it, all ready to go. They will keep you warm, I heard there are going to be some temperature drops pretty soon.” she warned them as she carefully put the plant mixture on all of his wounds and carefully bandage every inch of his body that was at risk of infection. “Well, guess I’ll keep watch tonight. That’s the least I can do.” Gyro offered, but the girl denied firmly. “No. You have to rest if you want to get better. I’ll keep watch. I have to make sure your wounds don’t fester anyway.” her voice was gentle, yet still held a strictness often seen in doctor around the hospital. “Okay, Y/N, we trust you. Wake me up if you need to sleep, okay?” Johnny smiled at her, before getting in his sleeping bag, turning away from them and the fire.
The girl started cleaning around the place, organising all the medical supplies she had and storing them back in their respective bags, in the kit, before giving Dahlia a sugar cube and an apple, kissing hear nose and hugging her neck, telling her how amazing she is, before putting her forehead to hers, telling her she loves her.
The affectionate gesture earned a playful coo from the long haired man, which in turn, made the girl chuckle and sit down opposite of him, leaning on a log and taking out a sandwish that she ripped in two and gave the other half to the man.
“Huh? You’re giving it to me?” he blinked at her in surprise. “You have to rest, drink and eat properly if you want to get your full strength back.” she informed, shoving the half-sandwish in his hands. “Right, right, thanks, Y/N.” there was a silence hanging around them, only the crackling noise of the fire disturbing it. “Do you like the stars, Y/N?” Gyro asked her, as he shifted his gaze above. “Yeah...I guess I do. When I was little, I used to sneak out every night and watch the stars with my friend. It was always nice trying to see constellations...And sometimes even making wishes when seeing shooting stars.” the girl grinned in nostalgia as she, too, looked at the open sky above her. “Awww, two little girl looking at the sky, how cute. Little rebels.” he joked lightly, but the girl only grinned wider, looking at him with a teasing smile. “My friend was a boy, Gyro.” she chuckled lightly at the man’s reaction. “Ahhhhhh! A cute little girl and her crush, sneaking for a stargazing date! Nyohoho, how romantic!” he laughed, as the girl looked down, her smile never faltering. “Well...He was pretty cute, I admit. He was really pretty. And he had gorgeous eyes. My 7 year old me was always very happy to see him. Even though he could be quite naive and lowkey arrogant and boasting over how cool he was...He was always super funny and made me laugh a lot.” she giggled, as she looked up to meet his eyes. “What a lucky guy! Hear that, I’m kinda jealous now!” he grinned, before shifting his position, resting his cheek on his fist. “Y’know...Now that I think of it, I remember a super cute girl that always dressed in flow-y dresses and had flowers in her hair. Oh, and, y’know what? She used to put cute animal plasters on my wounds, whenever I’d scratch my knee or something. And she’d kiss my cheeks every time, to kiss it better.” he batted his eyes at her. “That’s adorable, Gyro! And? What happened? Are you two still friends? Or more?” she leaned forward in anticipation. “Nahhh. Unfortunately, she kinda...Disappeared one day? I searched for her, but nobody had any idea what happened. It’s a real pity, I liked her a lot. My father didn’t really allow me to form any emotional connection with anyone, so he forbid me from looking for her more.” he sighed heavily, looking away. “What about your little crush? How did that go?” he asked, already knowing the answer. “Well...He said he had to use more of his time to learn from his father and properly become a man of his family. I believe they were in the medical field or something. Anyhow, my parents both had fighting-based Stands that they used for thievery, and when they saw my...Uhm...Useless Stand, they didn’t take it well...So I ran away before they could do more damage than needed.” she explained, looking down, biting her lip. “Do you believe in fate, Y/N?” Gyro asked, his voice low like never before. “I didn’t use to. But now...I think there may be something out there. Otherwise, I don’t think we’d have met each other again, Gyro.” she smiled softly at him, taking out the handkerchief on which “Gyro Zeppeli” was neatly embroidered. “Do you still have yours?” she asked, looking into his beautiful green eyes with a tender look. “Of course I do.” he smiled, taking out the f/c handkerchief, on which her own name was embroidered in beautiful cursive letters. “I always carried it with me. My father never found out, thankfully.” he chuckled softly. “I really missed you all these years, you know? When I saw you injured...I...I really panicked. Great thing nobody finds out when I panic...I mean, did you see Johnny? He was trembling like a Chihuahua!” she giggled, getting closer to the man. “Nyohoho, that was a good one! Johnny the Chihuahua!” they giggled together like highschool girls seeing their crush pass down the corridor.
The laughter soon died, and it was replaced by the same fire crackling noise from the fire wood, before Gyro spoke again, yet this time, his voice was more serious...With a tint of mischievousness.
“Hey...Y/N? Do you...Want to kiss it better?” he grinned at her, despite the rosier tint shading his sun kissed cheeks. “Awww, how cute, Gyro.” she mused, getting in front of him, planting soft pecks on both of his cheeks, before looking at him with a playful smirk. “How was that?” “Hmmm...It was nice, alright. But...I think you missed. I’m not quite getting the effect of the kiss like I used to.” he nudged her with his words, making her snort in amusement. “You’re such a dork, Gyro Zeppeli.” but despite her words, she cupped his cheeks and kissed him tenderly.
The world seemed to stop around them - The wood was no longer cracking, the Earth was spinning no more, the stars weren’t twinkling, the wind wasn’t breezing and nor was the time moving. The only thing that was alive was the warmth and feelings flooding from both of them, engulfing the atmosphere more and more with each kiss and each caress.
“That’s more like it.” he chuckled breathlessly, looking up at her with so much love and tenderness. “God, how I missed you. And to think you’re finally here, in my arms...I almost think it’s a dream. And if it is, I’m gonna kill whoever dares wake me up.” he buried his face in the crook of her neck, holding her close to his chest. “Don’t worry, this is not a dream, this is reality. I promise. I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere again.” she caressed his hair soothingly, feeling at peace for the first time in ages. “...Say, Y/N, wanna hear my new song? I wrote it all by myself, and I even made the tune of it. I’m very proud of it, and I want you to be the first to hear it. How’s that?” he kept her at arms length as he cleared his throat to prepare his voice. “Aww, Gyro’s serenading me, how romantic! Go on, I wanna hear!” she grinned playfully.
Okay, so it goes this way....
Pizza Moza-Rella...Pizza Moza-Rella...Rella Rella Rella Rella Rella Rella Gor-Gon-Zola...Gor-Gon-Zola...Zola Zola Zola Zola Zola Zola....
Gyro’s voice sang in a baritone tone, without any care in the world, making even the girl join in the silly song that was, unexpectedly, incredibly catchy, and now it was forever stuck in her head.
In Johnny’s head too, unfortunately, since he couldn’t sleep because of all the chatter and laughter, but he was at least happy that his friend met his long time best friend and crush after so many years, and they were both happy.

Oh and you also mentioned Romance! What's some Romance in the campaigns! Tell me about all the couples!
ALL OF THEM?? Dear god no! XD
And there is so much...! ;u;
Psi : Mave and Oso’var : from “my captain sat me down to scold me” to “I need to talk to my wife about this”! Bow and Darkroot : When a dryad and a fey-firbolg hunt one another for fun and kiss under a butterfly tree. :) Aerie and the Huntsman : Feral firbolg gets dragged to the bonfire in a net, the Huntsman asks if anyone is gonna tap that and doesn’t wait for an aswer. Also, sending Aerie to Psi and calling regularly. The only time they get to see one another now is when Aerie falls in battle and gets teleported back home for recovery! Fendira and Brad : When a nervous but hardcore gnome lady with a talking, hungry sword meets a soft, generous ncp halfling at base! :D We need more of them! Dip him, Fendira! Npc special : Exalt dragonborn Captain and Skirmisher tiefling berserker in love, very soft boys, almost lot the other live to a ritual! Special mention to adopted kobold daughter! :D
Endless winter : End of Winter and Quinn : one is a fluffy white tabaxi with inky warlock power. The other is a changeling formerly employed by the KGB. And together they are : cute! :3c (Bonus dead-but-revivified-husband except Quinn is not technically the one he was supposed to be married to... It’s complicated. XD) Kass and her gun : Busty huntress lady and her BIG sniper rifle. I ship it in a “I would lose it if anything happened to my gun” sort of way. XD Also I’m joking but Kass got a sandwish-making girlfriend not too long ago, Nancy! :D Krauss and Erran : Turns out the hidden dragon is very fond of the vedaklen necromancer? How did that happen? Not even a bard, and yet, so popular... XD (Krauss has four hands, and there is another old man somewhere that he also thinks a lot about, more on that as it develops. ;) ) Meadow and Dusk : Currently just a friendship, but they cute! :D Tiny problem-on-purpose-causing goblin girl with a heavy family trauma, and young changeling with the same kind of loss trauma. But they can sit down and watch old films while eating candies and get excited and soft together! Venmoira and her on-and-off-again goliath boyfriend : You’d think a gentle, nuturing firbolg lady would be the one being abused in this relationship. nope. special mention for the lizardfolk bartender NPC who’s very into every man that walks in, but can’t really settle at the moment, probably sighing his little gay heart out as we speak... It’s ok buddy we’ll find you a nice hunk! :)
Dragon mafia : Johnathan “motherfucking” Blackwell and nekoQuynh : When the most dramatic and efficiently evil yuan-ti man gets a cat... A cat girl. A scientist. With a good heart. And an impulse control. Rolled all in one... Jackpot! ;) And when she’s ready to heart people to defend him, we know he’s found a good one! ;) (The Johnaquynh pairing happens in a lot of universes, too. ;) A brilliant scientist lady and her overly dramatic and dangerous husband!) Unn and Essil : They are not “official” but they very much express interest to have a thing! :) Changeling warlock ready to kill a man, and dragonborn mafia heir... also ready to kill a man. To his lady’s delight. Unn and the minotwins : The same way, Unn likes to hang out with the minotaur twins : between the very soft, slightly absent-minded and distractable Andromeda, and her brother the strong (and honestly murder-repressed at the moment) Adrastos, she lives with both, and she wouldn’t mind keeping this going. Why must a lady chose? Nancy and Kass : Oh hey, sounds familiar? :D In this world, Kass in more of a sandwich seller that was just as nervous as our BARELY FUNCTIONING murder queen. Nancy is anxiety taking form, and yet, to go kill people you have to see people... yuck! But around Kass, it’s easier to talk... Duvud and literally everybody else : He just... He loves his precious. His favorites. Anybody wants to have fun? His arms are open! Lidwei and Joe : Lidwei is a cult leader devoted to Duvud. She is also, unfortunately, blind. She can share the sight of people around her, so she picked up an abused farm boy on her way to town, and has been using him as a seeing boy since. The man has a thing for her, that she uses to her advantage for soft manipulation. However, Joe has been slowly opening up to the fact he might also be into guys, lately, because there is a man attracting his eye... >W>
(Ufff pufff, catching my breath here... XD)
Fallout : Vesper and Reginald : “Did you just build a power armor frame?” “Yes! :D” “...I can get you plating for that.” “YOU COULD?? :DD” also known as “I scanned your helmet with my pipboy and now I essentially have your number... Yo so are you free tonight or...? I discovered we’re neighbours, also. Look outside.” Achii and Annie : One’s an albino nerd of a talking deathclaw. The other is, apparently, a sweet entusiastic monster fucker. XD I jest, they’re just soft and adorable... Lewis and Buddy Holy reccords : Get yourself a man (robot) that goes to the other end of the world for you like Lewis does for those damn records! XD
Darkest dungeon : Baldwin and Liam : Well fuck. The jester and the leper. Who would have thought. XD Now if only Liam could stop joking and flirting outrageously while in the middle of the ruins, that would be peachy! (as far as I know, that’s it, unless we count heir Castillion and bad decisions, because boy.. That’s a love story for the edges, but it’s also very toxic! XD)
... And nothing else comes to mind! Congrats for making it this far! :D Get yourself a doodle for your efforts!
Tumblr media
(There’s also the first caster campaign, but... it’s a whole n’other beast. XD)

RPG maker games... Man!
What’s to say about the fact that a lot of the games that have stuck with me in deeper manners are not those AAA, multi-million budget, “Burns-your-PC-in-seconds super, duper, mega shit your pants graphics” games, but instead it’s games made on a tuna sandwish budget.

2. Through sickness and health (McKirk)
"Shit." A loud curse was said and soon a much softer voice joined in stricking a conversation.
"Come on, Bones, no swearing." Jim chuckled while he took yet another dovet from the end of the bed Bones was lying on. 
"How can you be so damn cheery right now?" Bones glared at the blond who started tugging him in for a second time. "And would you stop fussing? I'm a doctor and a fully grown man. I can handle myself."
Bones snatched the blanket from Jim, earning a sigh and a tut from the younger man. Jim shook his head, the smirk that had vanished just a second ago appearing on his lips now even wider. 
"If you are so good at taking care of yourself how come you got this ill to begin with?" 
Bones opened his mouth to argue but Jim had cornered him. He could say he had changed his priorities for December, making this the best Christmas ever for Jim and at the end of that list was his own well being. 
Bones had seen the signs of his sickness a week ago and done his out most best at keeping it down or the least, tamed. Bones had taken vitamins, drank water more freguently and just one thing he had kept on minium which was rest and that became the point breaker. 
Why Bones pushed himself forward regardless his condition was that he couldn't be home just lying on the bed while Jim took care of him and Christmas preparations. No. He wanted to be the one making this Christmas perfect for Jim. Jim who had been so ecxited because of the up coming holiday. 
"I may have overestimated my medical abilities and passed by some necessary treatments..." A blush creeped on Bones' cheeks and an amused smile just kept spreading on Jim's perfect lips.
"Next time I skip physicals and you come after me I am going to remind you of this day." Jim stated.
"Don't you even dare!" Bones raised his voice even though he knew too well Jim was definetly going to make him hear of this situation in one way or another. 
"Calm down, old man," Jim put his hands on Bones' shoulders to push him back against the pillows. "Don't get yourself all worked up now. I'll take care of you in exchange."
Did Bones really have to live up to see this day? He wasn't too found of the thought of Jim taking care of him, trying to even make a proper sandwish could become chatastrophic with Jim in charge. The mere thought shook Bones to the core.
"Don't you worry about me, kid. You got your hands full on your own already, I can-"
"Oh come on, Bones, humor me for once." Jim pleaded but his smile held a sinister shade that wouldn't go pass Bones.
"It's no big deal, Bones." Jim assured.
Bones sighed. "I just really would've wanted to have you be able to relax for once. You're in charge of an entire crew and a starship, it must became tire some at one point."
Jim looked away shrugging his shoulders. Bones was right. Sometimes Jim just wanted to sit down and watch while everyone went by on their own, not needing for him to say anything.
"Yeah, but you being sick won't ruin our holidays" Jim assured and squeezed Bones' shoulder. "Just let me handle things for this once. Again."
"Sure. You were always the housewife type anyways." Bones rolled his eyes. 
"What makes you say that?" Jim almost panicked.
"Don't sweat it kid, I'm only joking. It's not like we're getting married." Bones shut his eyes, finally deciding to rest and sleep so Jim could have peace.
"You'd marry me right?" Jim asked with a stuttering voice after a minute of silence. Bones cracked one eye open.
"What, you gonna marry me or something?" Bones asked. As he waited for Jim to reply he sat back up. "You serious Jim?" 
Jim slipped out of with a unsure smile on his face. "I had intended this to happen on 25th of December, but," he went down on his knees and said; "Surprise?"

Tag Game
Tagged by: @just---curious
Nickname: Don't have any, I'm just Laura.
Zodiac: Aries.
Height: 5'6" (168 cm).
Last Movie I Saw: Crimson Peak (almost 2 years ago). I really loved it. Yes, last time I watched any movie was 2 years ago...
Last Thing I Googled: "radical feminism” just to look up what are kind of the complete general views (cause bad memory and needed some guide) so that I can make a comprehensive post about what my stance is on points, as to why I’ve recently become radfem. Haven’t gotten to writing that quite yet though.
Favorite Musician: David Bowie. Cause he was my only idol as a kid and teen and although I'm not so connected to him anymore, he just always has a special place in my heart. The only man who does! Ahaha. Just kidding, and not that way.
Song Stuck in my Head: "The Secret Germany (For Paul Celan)" by Rome. I listened to it on repeat all night so that's probably why it stuck.
Other Blogs: Not on tumblr but "mentalfrostbite.blogspot.com" is a blog I've had since 2010 and write stuff in. It’s in English too, at least since 2013 or something. Not posted much in it these past few months or so though. Now I've mostly been posting on tumblr instead. Cause I get more attention here xD.
Do I Get Asks?: Yeah, since I got a bit of an influx of radfem, detrans and lesbian followers these past couple of months I've gotten quite a lot of asks and I'm really happy to get them! Please keep them coming :)
Blogs Following: 140 that I'm following, and then I have 577 followers.
Amount of Sleep I Get: Uhm... how to explain... it can vary really a lot. I mean REALLY a lot, beyond the scope of my own understanding, but... on a very rough average 8-12 hours per time-of-the-day-I'm-asleep, which is not more often day than night, or night than day, and no order in that department either. Put shortly: my sleep pattern completely lacks any sort of coherency and is all over the place. It's sleep chaos. Hard to estimate.
Lucky Number: 13. I chose it when I was a kid cause I already then felt like I had an abnormal amount of bad luck in life, which I've kept feeling like and still do. And I chose it kinda ironically because it means bad luck, but I use it as kind of a lucky charm to turn the bad luck into good luck. Also I have a thing for “odd” numbers in general, and 13 has two odd numbers in it.
What I’m Wearing: A mint green tight t-shirt, purple velour hoodie, black sports bra, long and very comfy Indian style belly-dancing skirt (it's also very pretty with intricate golden print and has little bells that jingle when I move around... I'm so hopelessly femme), black panties and a huge dark grey men's fleece robe. Barefoot, no makeup, still no hair. Yes it is a hideosly composed outfit, but also says a lot about me as a person.
Dream Job: To never have to work, and no one ever telling me I should become mentally stable enough to handle having a job, and keep pressuring me to want a job. I don't. Stop trying to make me become a useful citizen. I live for me, not society. And I’m doing fine on my sickness compensation. There is not a single job in the world that I'd want to have. Not even a belly dancer at a lesbian only strip club... oh wait, that would be pretty awesome, actually!
Dream Trip: I don't care where to, I only really care who with and what we'd be doing. I never cared much for nature or places in general. Although for the past several years I've really wanted to travel to just any big city and party my ass off like it's the end of the world.
Favorite Food: Anything with chicken, but not too spicy. I love curry and garlic, rice, crispy potato stuff, bread, salmon, bloody beef with bearnaise sauce, sandwish cakes, etc. I like rich and heavy food, but also mild and light sea food.
Instrument: Harpsicord. It's the pre-destine to piano, that the rich over class played on back in the 1500's. Very rarely ever used in modern music, but some musicians of today add it for a cool effect. For example Emilie Autum does. But I also really love the accordion. My grandfather played it to me as a child, before he died when I was very young (around 5) and I've always loved the sound of that instrument ever since. It's mezmerising! Unfortunately the genres of music it's often played in are usually not to my taste. Nope, I want me some rock music played with accordion!
Languages: English is my second language, then also Swedish is my native language. I don't know any other ones, but a little bit of German. I casually consider myself bilingual.
Favorite Songs (as of right now): "Lost Jericho" by Arielle Bombasle and ERA, "A Woman's Heart" by Celtic Woman, "Te Amo" by Rihanna, "One Lion's Roar" by Rome, "Pax Psychosis" by Grendel, etc.
Random Fact: It took 2 months and costed over 60 bucks to change the number to my landline phone and make it a hidden number... all because I got phone-terrorised by some demented man who kept calling me 20+ times a day, not understand who he was even calling and it was driving me mad! No idea how he got my number, but yeah that's history now.
Describe Yourself With Aesthetics: Huddled up on a bench, smoking a cigarette, cold but holding onto a cup of hot coffee. Traces of lipstick around the cup edge and on the filter. Long skirt fabric twisting around the ankles in the wind, revealing rainbow coloured shoelaces on military boots. Squinting to avoid getting smoke in the eyes with sharp black and golden makeup around. Always tired and full of thoughts.
I tag anyone who wants to do this.

Straight into the heart (2020) by Per Alexandersson
Why are the characters talking like old people? Why is the narrative so hateful? This short story is about a junior high student named Jonas, who is secretly into guys. When he one day is invited to his friend Eddy's place to play a car racing game, Jonas instinctively accidentally kisses Eddy on the shoulder. Eddy has a homophobic fit and Jonas runs home to spend the rest of the day worrying about being outed at school and bullied.
Instead this bizarre scene plays out, where Eddy approaches him the next day, to admit that the explosion was because he just hate losing in games. He won't tell anyone about the kiss. Totally ignoring the homophobic rant he had? But Eddy also tells Jonas that ANOTHER guy once touched him inappropriately too, their classmate Sebastian. Jonas hearing this, now knowing Sebastian might be gay too, instantly falls in love and talks about pursuing him next. Just.. ????? no.
This is actually a re-published novel, originally called "You creep!" from 2013. The words "fag" (bög) and "faggot" (bögjävel) is heavily used as a slur. The protagonist describes himself as a creep. Idk, the script feels really outdated, as if my grandparents would tell a story about homosexuality and thinking it was romantic somewhere. Yikes. 1/5 stars

Tim (1974) by Colleen McCullough
Such a small font, but reached page 37 before calling it quits. Got this book for free, and the plot sounded sweet on the backcover. But after reading the first 6 chapters, i mostly just felt appalled.
Mary watches the freelance maintenance workers at the neighbors house, and notices Tim. He's described as looking ripped as heck, or as the protagonist puts it - "like a greek statue". But Tim has a mindset as a five year old.
We are directly introduced to him after Mary's long thirsty description, and he's being picked on by the other men. They trick him into eating excrement. Poop. They put poop on a sandwich (because they're helping with the neighbors outhouse as well), tells him it's sausage sandwish and Tim eats it without noticing. 🤮 He's obviously upset when they tell him, and the lady of the house quickly makes him a banana ice cream cake to wash it down while he wail as a kid, but the image of him is forever tainted imo. The lady says he's a "big man" for not puking (showing weakness) infront of the other men, but maybe idk he should puke though ?! Let him puke, good god.
Mary learns of this and eating poop apparently doesn't waver her, and she hires him alone to care for her garden. Mary is described as middle age woman with gray hair (Tim is 25 or something, he was the youngest of the maintenance guys but bigger than them body-wise) and talk with Tim as if he'd be a child, which is strange as we also listens to her continue to sexually thirst for him.
The book is described as a "Pygmalion romance" which i had no idea what is meant until writing this review. According to google "The term Pygmalion effect comes from Greek mythology where Pygmalion fell in love with the sculpture he himself had created according to his own wishes. Sometimes the phenomenon is also called the Rosenthale effect."
So it's like those anime series where the guy shapes young girls to be their future waifus? And with that, i'm out! 0/5 stars

RedHatMeg’s Guide on Gyro Gearloose Part 2 - Uncle Scrooge comics
And our adventure through stories with our favorite inventor continues with Uncle Scrooge comics.
Brace yourselfs, these are products of their time so they’re sometimes a bit racist. So I apologize in adance.
Now there is a lot of Gyro Gearloose comics that are featured also in previously covered by me Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories. I’m including them here, because these might be first editions of said comics. And so we have:
- The Seven Cities of Cibola
- The Cat Box (first appearance of Little Helper.)
- Forcasting Follies
- Fishing Mystery
- The Sure-Fire Gold Finder
- Roscoe the Robot
- Gyro Goes for a Dip
- The Wishing Well
- Krankenstein Gyro
- Invetors’ Contest
- Oodles of Oomph
- Fishy Warden
- You Can’t Win
- Fast away Castaway
- Duckburg’s Day of Peril
- The Great Pop Up
- Finny Fan
- Posthasty Postman
- Snow Duster
- A Helper’s Helping Hand
- Man versus Machine
- The Know-It-All Machine
- The Hopeless Helper
- Mighty but Miserable
Now onto the stories I didn’t covered. We start with Uncle Scrooge series that start in 1953 and ended in 2011. Just like in Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories Gyro is both starring in his own stories and in stories of other characters.
- Gyro Builds a Better House (Gyro is tasked to build a house with soft walls.)
- Getting Thor (Crows aren’t scared of Gyro’s scarecrow so he decides to invent a better one.)
- The House on Cyclone Hill (A small cyclone attacks Gyro while he’s doing rsearch on cyclones.)
- The Firefly Tracker (Gyro has to create a special invention to present on Inventors’ Congress. Fireflies in his yard give him an idea.)
- War Paint (A movie director asks Gyro to make as realistic war paint as possible. Gyro uses actual ingrediens for war paint and soon the cast start to act weird.)
- That Small Feeling (Gyro is visited by a witchdoctor who shrinks him and says he will turn him back to original size when Gyro fixes his magic doll.)
- Wily Rival (While waiting at the patent office, Gyro is intrigued by a fellow inventor and his mysterious invention.)
- Madcap Inventors (Gyro gets a book How to get along with your enemies. He has an opportunity to put it to use, because a rivaling inventor moved in and gets on Gyro’s nerves.)
- Getting His Wires Crossed (Gyro is a terrible dancer so he invents a machine that will help him dance better.)
- Something to Crow About (Grandma Duck has problems with crows eating her berries, so she asks Gyro for help. His solution: a dome over the berries.)
- The Fizzle that Drizzled (Duckburg needs to conserve water. Gyro makes a machnine that creates clouds, but it goes down because the weatherman made a mistake while informing Gyro about atmospheric pressure.)
- Day of Delayed Action (Gyro disables his alarm clock to spend more time on thinking about inventions and wakes up three months later.)

So after a long time without playing TS2, I decided to change my game's language back to English and replay Pleasantview. I think I never tried playing the story on English to be honest. My game was always on either Portuguese or Italian.
I decided to follow the game suggestions so for our first household I chose, the Lothario for the first time. I always started with Broke and ended up with Caliente/Lothario for some reason so I'm trying to reverse that.
Lothario: Don invited Nina over for some bonding time and he also decided to get a maid since the place was a mess to have someone hang around. They both went to chill on the hot tub meanwhile Kaylynn Langerak, Don's maid (and lover) was cleaning around the house. When she was finished, she asked Don if he wanted to hang out, but he refused since Nina was there too. Kaylynn left so the two lovers enjoyed each other's company. They kept serenating each other and flirting after some lunch meat sandwishes that Don prepared for both (omg, the man can cook xD). They went up to the hot tub again, woohooed and decided to do it on the bed as well xD Kaythlynn called Don for an outing at 6 pm but he refused since he had a bad feeling about it that he couldn’t explain. Next day Don went to work (missed Dina at his doorstep -.-’), and at 6 pm returned (finding his trash can all over the place, I'm not sure who kicked it down xD) and that was about it for this time. #PV2019 #Pleasantview2019

You cant raise someone to be gender fluid. Thats not a choice. Much like sexually its not something you can chose to be or not to be
I agree and at the same time disagree. I’m maybe too old fashioned but I don’t understand the new age ways of raising kids - telling girls that they can be warriors and that to want to play with dolls and want to be a princess like Elza is not feminist. And God forbid if you try to teach your daughter to make a sandwish - you’re instantly shamed for instilling gender stereotypes to your kid. 
Or the women who think that a man who cleans is the new sexy. Nah ha. A man who fixes things is still sexy. It’s no coincidence that housewives fall for the handy men in the house while hubby is playing all suit up pretty.
