i was that budtender that always gave sooo much free shit. in hollywood they literally could never figure out how i had such low sales compared. bitch its bc i dont fuck with your corporate bullshit, ooohf i went in when they told us to upsale the homeless buying $6 grams!!!! holla at the under paid, i get my fuckinn my worth
It might seem like a weird question but do you work out? And if you do share your secrets because you have like the most gorgeous body I've seen in quite a while >///< if you don't the only other option i see is some kind of witchcraft
So I have several contributing factors here.
1) Genetics. I’m built like a lanky elf while my Cister is built like a bombshell hourglass. Sometimes that shit just happens.
2) Full disclosure, Tummy issues (I’m pretty sure at least partially influenced by some meds I took that had scary nasty side effects) and adhd make it hard for me to remember to eat/keep that calories I do eat. I’m not sensitive about it, and after struggling with the body image issues it gave me I’ve actually been super proud of myself for putting on more weight!! My work has been a lifesaver in making sure I have healthy, consistent meals, and I’m super happy with the way that’s been going. I can donate blood now!! It’s all very exciting.
3) and the reason that my legs/ass are Like That™- Stairs. So many stairs. My house? Getting up and down to my room is a flight of them and my room is on the 3rd floor. Just walking to work? At least 2 hills and 2 flights of stairs. My work? 6 flights of stairs and a slow af elevator. I take stairs two at a time instead of using escalators. It’s faster. Before I moved to the city I’m in I had like absolutely 0 ass. I was insecure about it. After living here two years?? It’s absolutely shocking. I still don’t super believe it’s real. Just walking everywhere has been FANTASTIC for my health and stamina.
Castle Ficlet: Onlooker (Take the Stairs verse) 1/1
Onlooker
(Take the Stairs verse)
She wasn't eavesdropping, not really. It was just hard not to pay attention to the people around her in the coffee shop, and even more difficult to pretend she wasn't watching the people at the end of the bank of tables. All four of them.
Between the cheerful squeals from the kids and the deep laughter from their father, they certainly weren't being subtle about enjoying their time together and didn't seem to care that they were getting people's eyes on them. It was cute, though, watching the little ones creep closer to their father, seeing the eldest's face light up when the others turned to her. It was obvious that their father was woefully outnumbered, but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, it looked like he was relishing in all of it, cradling the little ones and listening to the eldest as they all settled in and tucked into the drinks – hot chocolate for the kids, she was sure – and the snacks in front of them.
Kate's cheeks heated a little when his head swiveled in her direction and his eyes met hers, catching her in her study.
He grinned, gesturing for her to join them with the casual tilt of his head.
For a moment, she felt bad; she was supposed to still be working, giving the four of them the chance to have fun with one another. But she'd wrapped up the paperwork early and hadn't been able to resist tracking them down, even if she'd tried (and failed) to keep her distance.
"Hey you," Rick called when she didn't move from her chair. "Thought you weren't going to be done for another couple of hours; we were going to meet you at the precinct."
Kate laughed softly, getting to her feet and closing the distance to her family. She should've known better than to try to stay away.
"Finished early," she explained, leaning over to kiss Alexis first, then Anna and Eli, before dragging a chair closer to her fiancé and touching her lips to his.
Rick hummed against her mouth, shifting the twins on his lap and making sure Eli didn't land face first as he tried to crawl into Kate's arms instead.
"Well, I'm glad you decided to meet us here," he said, checking Anna's face to make sure she hadn't crammed too big a bite of marble cake into her mouth. "Buy you a coffee?"
Kate nodded, rubbing a fingertip over her son's cheek. Already, Rick was getting to his feet to do just that. "Please. And while you're gone, I'll get these guys to tell me exactly what was so funny a few minutes ago."
Across from her Alexis threw her head back and laughed.
Midnight, cold sweat, sitting on a basket of
Fresh, warm laundry. Better take my sweater off.
Damn, hand's a little shaky. Not liking this.
Waiting on some guy named Doug.
Dispatch said 35 minutes.
I tried to make conversation. You know,
Talk me down. "This is kinda traumatizing..."
No response. "Hello? Hello?" Cut off again.
It's been an eternal 55 and staring at the timer
Run up on my phone. 45% left. Call my girl.
She's concerned but it's funny to her, I know it.
"Call me when he gets there, okay?". Great.
Where is this tech? Doug, where the fuck and how?
Wish I could piss. Wish I could sip some water.
It's just me trapped in a death box pretending
I'm doing what I do best, sitting in little rooms alone.
Will not budge. Gives a glimpse of opening, then
Grumbles back closed. Press a floor number
And it hums a migraine for 10 minutes.
Well fuck my life and call me done.
Stuck in basement cart #2. Footsteps... Hear
Some couple, a lady bitches about waiting.
Oh, you gotta wait?! I shove my digits in the slit,
Grasp and pull repeatedly to no avail. They've no clue
I'm even in here, rough-housing this goof machine.
Okay, settle down. Do my best zen impression,
Let the waves of anxiety wash through me.
Deep breaths and mental fortitude.
If I hear a fire alarm right now, I'm done for.
Calamity and claustrophobia on the mind.
65 minutes. I can hear a phone ringing.
"Yeah, no, I'm in now..." And boosh! Some giant
Of a grizzled man swooshes my fears away.
I grab that basket and jump the fuck out.
"Holy shit, that made me nervous, man."
"Yeah, I imagine that wasn't fun."
"Not at all."
"I couldn't get in the building, sorry. FOB was broke..."
"So you got a key for the elevator door or what?"
"Yeah, opens it right up."
"And, so you're Doug?"
"I'm Doug."
"Thanks, Doug."
I grab my shit and haul
My ass up 5 flights
Of stairs.
Day 25. Prompt: Danger. A PSA about emergencies, you should almost always take the stairs! Fire, earthquake, power outage, or giant monster attacking your city, you do not want to be trapped in an elevator.
I MADE A GAME! it's a short little walkaround adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone, set in a dying apartment tower, with a whole host of characters who you may or may not recognize. Music, art, and writing all by me - you can play it here, either in-browser or downloadable (although I've been informed that if you download it, the fonts may not function correctly).
It may receive updates in future - I made it in about a month for a class assignment, so I didn't have time to include everything I wanted to, and the music is all taken from various other projects of mine - so stay tuned for whenever that happens! For now, enjoy a 30-40 minute game with a single, inevitable conclusion. And do let me know what you think.
Have I read this prompt somewhere or was this a fever dream from my bored mind.
What if, now hear me out.
What if we bring up Dana Winters-Drake (whose confirmed to at least be alive in the DC verse but no one knows where she actually is)
What if instead of when she had a mental breakdown and getting committed to an Bludhaven clinc she wandered away before anyone noticed and by the time Tim or anyone did notice a lot of stuff started happening at once in both Gotham and Bludhaven (Steph dying, The Bludhaven crisis, etc etc)
Tim still tries to find her though but even with best resources it was like she just disappeared into the wilderness and the stress of trying to handle more and more problems get worse.
So when out of the blue, a couple of years later, he gets a call from an unknown number. On his private, only for friends and family, phone and when he answers he meet with a young girls voice on the other end.
A very young, maybe six or seven, girl who informs him about his apparently half-brother Danny Drake-Fenton. And how she loves Danny so, so, so much but knows her home is dangerous for him to be in.
Tim is stunned and before he could question her, she says Danny is Dana and Jack's baby and that her parents had adopted him years ago and put Dana's stuff that the hospital had away for him to look at when he was older but she just had to fight off their lunch from eating her brother and she knows he needs a better place to live and so she snooped around and found Dana's diary and that she had to unscramble the nonsense Dana wrote and found Tim's number with the words 'tell him about his brother Danny' hidden in it. And-
But before she could keep rambling she hears Danny screaming "JAZZY THE MILK WENT BAD AGAIN AND HISSED AT ME!"
Tim is left with silence after hearing Jazz yell to Danny to lock the fridge and step out of the kitchen as she gets the bat.
"Kuina's death is ridiculous" yes! That's the point! You do realize that falling down the stairs is a way of showing Zoro how fragile human lives are, right? You are aware that the point of Kuina's character is the unfairness of the world towards women in comparison to the privileges men have, like living in itself and fulfilling their dreams, right? You know that Kuina's death is "ridiculous and dumb" because it's meant to show that even the strongest person Zoro knew could die from something so little, right? You understand that the value Zoro gives to life is fucking immense, right? Right?? You realize Zoro can't seek revenge because nobody took her away from him and now the only thing he can do is become the world's greatest swordsman to avenge her death, right? You get that Zoro's character is an atheist because he doesn't believe in anyone and he can only rely on himself when it comes to Kuina's sudden death, right? You are aware that sometimes people die in the simplest of ways and that doesn't make them weak because death doesn't discriminate, right? You know that all of these things are what make Zoro's character so interesting and important, right? Right??? You know, right?
Well, of course you fucking don't because if you knew you wouldn't be saying her death is ridiculous <3
