#WHY do things i want have to cost money #i know I've still got like $100 set aside from stuff like birthday/graduation card stuff that i haven't been counting towards my wheelchair #cuz like. that's birthday/graduation gift money y'know?? i can wait a bit longer and work for my wheelchair‚ i can save that $100 to enjoy #but I've been specific with how much i spend on any given thing so i don't waste it #but i REALLY REALLY want this game #it's SUPER hard to find in general since it's been sold out for years and it's even harder to find an unused copy (without writing in it)#but i found a copy that is not only like new but ALSO has the original bonus trinkets with it you can't find anywhere else #the only problem is it'd take the last of that money :(#so like.... i COULD do it. but also i probably shouldn't spend it all on a hundred dollar board game #and i know it's silly and kinda dumb to actually consider spending that much money on a game but I've been wanting it for ages lmao #idk just kinda talking to the void here about it lmao

clutch || ten

there are written parts :)

note that the timeline or educations may not add up but just ignore it because i don't have the brain power to sync up THIRTEEN + 1 's education schedules

a/n: sorry i was gone... but i'm back.

warnings: attempted assault, violence

wonwoo had never in his life been so afraid. afraid of losing yn. yes. he had fallen for her. it only took weeks for her to break the hard shell he cast around his heart.

he couldn't bear to let her get hurt.

she was the first woman who had loved seollie with all her heart. she was the first woman her genuinely felt that he could confide in.

if comfort and security was a person, to him, it'd be yn.

and she was gone.

yn barricaded herself in her art room. her sculpting tools would be of great use in this situation.

her stalker was jaeho. jaeho and e/n to be precise.

jaeho and e/n were in cahoots the whole time. the plan was to monopolise the 2 daughters of a rich family so that they could get money to fund their careers.

however, after jaeho successfully married chaeyoung, he realised she was going to ruin his reputation so he asked e/n to brutally leave yn so he cld be there to pick up the pieces and seduce yn.

after that, jaeho began to stalk yn o figure out her new place of residence. e/n, began to separately stalk her, in an attempt to get her back.

"yn. i told you that you were next. don't be scared. i won't do anything."

"jaeho, my parents hate me. what does attacking me do for you? you won't get ransom!"

"not from them. i'll get ransom from your precious boyfriend wonwoo."

"you aren't making any sense! if you want money, i'll just give it to you. please just get out!"

jaeho wanted to hurt her. he blamed her for his misfortune with chaeyoung.

"if you were better, i wouldn't have married chaeyoung."

"how is that my problem! what is wrong with you? i'm confused and scared and you don't make sense. pl-"

she was cut off by the sounds of crashing and something being slammed into a wall. she heard clatters of metal and shouting before she heard the comfort of a voice she knew so well.

"i'm here, yn. you're okay."

wonwoo.

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

synopsis: wonwoo is a popular streamer known for his incredible gaming skills and good looks. He turned heads. but he hates the attention. he just wants to play games and earn money. one day he receives a letter. his apartment’s rent has almost doubled. no warnings at all. his current paycheck from streaming can’t shoulder those bills. he has no choice but to rent out his spare room. to who? a fresh art university graduate who has… 1. a stable job ✅ 2. talent for art and sculpting ✅ 3. many friends ❌ 4. social anxiety ✅ 5. no filter ✅ when his iconic cat logo gets copystriked, she comes to the rescue with a new logo for him. when his apartment’s walls start peeling, she fixes it. whatever he used to struggle with… the empty space... was now filled by her. so what does he *last player standing* do when her ex *enemy spotted* tries to take her back? heh. *clutch* he clutches.

I have a lot of feelings about season 2 obviously, mostly that it was brutally fantastic, but it really serves to highlight the main difference between Crowley and Aziraphale's understanding of loss. long angsty analysis under cut

Because Crowley already knows what it is to lose Aziraphale. I mean really lose him. He fell to the floor in the burning heart of the bookshop thinking Aziraphale was dead and gone. We get to see in fantastic living color how broken it leaves him. He's forced to spend time wallowing in the hopelessness of it before Aziraphale is miraculously back. Then cut to heaven during their ruse, where Crowley is standing there in the flames with Gabriel grinning maliciously in his face, telling the love Crowley just got back to shut up and die. If that scrap of prophecy hadnt found them, if they hadn't been quick enough, clever enough, Crowley would have lost him again. For Good. For Ever. That entire scene, from the cropped cut of Crowley twisting Aziraphale's wrists in their bonds all the way through to the end, Crowley is in a visibly barely contained rage. He's quiet, and still. These are the beings that have been tormenting his love for centuries, who tried to take him away once already and want to take him away from Crowley again. And it boils in him in the same combination that makes terrified dogs Bite. And we see the lasting effect that fear has on him throughout season 2. It drives almost every interaction Crowley has with other characters, particularly in his vehemence that Jim!Gabriel not be anywhere near Aziraphale. Crowley is able to word for word quote that moment back to Jim!Gabriel mostly unprompted because I guarantee its just been repeating in his head since the archangel showed up in the bookshop. He needs Aziraphale safe in that desperate and agonized way you can only feel if you already know what its like to lose them. And the entire season he's combating the fact that the biggest threat to Crowley's love is sitting in his livingroom and Aziraphale keeps handwaving Crowley's trauma away.

Which brings us to Aziraphale. Aziraphale who has never had to experience losing Crowley. His demon is always there just on time, always at his shoulder and on-call. Aziraphale has no concept of the depth of Crowley's grief during the time Crowley thought he'd died in the bookshop, and no idea the damage Crowley's incognito trip to heaven had on him. And then parallel Aziraphale's part in the ruse. Yes, he's playing at being cheeky Crowley, but I'd bet all my money most of that was just Aziraphale relishing in doing what he loves to do: Dramatizing. Watch his scene in hell compared to Crowley's in heaven. Aziraphale is having a blast. To him its a stage production, a clever trick he gets to play. Michael pours 'Crowley' a holy water death bath and it just makes Aziraphale grin because he knows it wont work. He plays it up, wings the water at the demons, makes silly demands, asks the angel who would have killed Crowley to bring him a towel. It's a joke to Aziraphale, because he never even seems to consider (as Crowley obviously does) the reality that if they hadn't swapped places Crowley would be dead. That Michael came grinning down to hell to destroy him. Forever destroy him. And Aziraphale even giggles about it to Crowley on the bench. Aziraphale has no reference or context of what it would be like to actually lose Crowley, it'd be unheard of, so he never processes what could have happened in the way Crowley does. And we continue to see that ignorance crop up in season 2. His dismissal of Crowley's fears as being silly, the way he never once seems to worry for Crowley's safety even with the other angels and hell minions in the room. Michael and Beelzebub are right there. The two who would have seen Crowley turned into nothing. But there's just not the awareness of the threat to Crowley (or himself, but thats another problem) that Crowley inversely possesses. And it all boils down to the simple fact that Aziraphale has never ever lost Crowley. Until now. And you can see it beginning to process post-kiss. You can see it in Aziraphale's face as Crowley dons his glasses and turns his back on Aziraphale for real. This is going to be the beginning of Aziraphale learning what it is to lose his love, and its going to be absolutely heartbreaking yes, but also completely necessary to his growth.

There's that wretched little saying "you don't know what you've got until its gone". Crowley's learned that lesson the hard way already. I guess now its Aziraphale's turn.

i rewatched s7e3 and the weird sort of straight washing that happened with unity was worse than i realized in my first 1 and a half viewings. so im here to be a little bit more of a hater lol.

okay so like fuck this bitch in particular

now, i understand that unity has appeared in the comics which i haven't read so it's possible there's some lore there that idk about, but here's the deal as i understand it and why this specific alien acting like the face of unity bugs me so much. this alien is part of a species that, as of the episode in season 2, was very recently assimilated by unity. so like im not sure why there's so much focus placed on her specifically. having her act as a representative of sorts made sense in the first episode, she was a president on the newly assimilated planet that rick and the kids were visiting. but like, that's it, right? it doesn't make sense to me why she would be any more important than any of the other, what? trillions of life forms unity has under its belt? like the only reason for her to be here at all is to be recognizable to the audience, which like, fine. i think it's a little dumb, but whatever. the problem isn't having her as a symbol (personally i think it'd be cooler to not have an entity like unity tied down to being primarily represented through one body but i digress), the problem is that she's treated like more than that in this episode.

this is a part i didn't notice until my rewatch that really irked me.

these are concurrent shots from the scene when rick shows up and starts spraying unity. we see it in virginia telling rick to take it easy through the body of this human, then we see it continuing the conversation from its spaceship in the body of the alien. i am like super not a fan of the implications of that. this alien is not supposed to be unity any more than any one of my cells is me, but here it's depicted as though whenever unity does something in any of its bodies, it's coming from this lady. and like, that'd be super lame even if it wasn't an obvious womanification of a nongendered entity.

now im no english major so i don't have an elegant transition to put here, but yes, it is time to talk about pronouns. yeah yeah, ik, trans person gets hung up on pronouns, bite me okay, it's relevant. i went back and watched the first unity episode to be sure id remembered correctly, and yes, in that episode nobody uses gendered pronouns for unity. morty says "they" which seems more to be referring to a number of bodies, and other than that, people mostly say "unity" or "it". as for the new episode i noticed rick using nongendered pronouns twice

but after that he goes with she/her for the rest of the episode

and yeah, i think that is pretty disappointing. i didn't catch that "it" until my rewatch, but the use of "them" did make me really happy but then everybody started she/hering it. the combination of all that emphasis being put on a female body and people calling unity she so much makes for an episode that manages to be significantly less queer than the one that came out in 2015. it feels weirdly cowardly after that "we're all a little gay" bit in the last episode and doesn't inspire much confidence in me regarding rick's relationships with nonwomen. like stuff can be gay if it's for a joke, but there's more money on the line now than back in season 2, so rick's ex lover needed straightening up.

idk. i still like the episode because im easy and focusing on rick's mental health and relationships always makes me happy, but man, i am certainly not happy with how they handled unity. they really did it dirty, watered it down to being pretty much just another alien lady.

(also to be clear, i am not trying to shit on the writers here. obviously idk exactly what went on, but im pretty comfortable placing the blame squarely on execs)

this is quite ramble tbh but this thought has been sitting in my head for so long. as a poc obey me player i have this little self indulgent scenario where my mc is talking w the brothers and they ask about how mc dealt w all the bs the other demons were giving them about being a human. and my mc is like “racism exists in the human world too??” and it made me think about how out of touch the brothers are from the human world. like do they know anything from the last 500 years of human world?

The funniest thing to me is like yeah there's classism and racism (though I would argue it's more classism than racism) within the demons of the Devildom but it seems to be mostly based on "how able am i to kick your ass" hence the more magically and physically powerful demons end up in higher positions (and this makes much more sense when you learn that the Devildom had no laws until Diavolo's grandfather so it would have very literally been "survival of the fittest")

However if you take out the magical/physical strength factor: demons, as we see in the game, come in all shapes and sizes and from different cultures and are never treated differently based on that eg: the ant sized demons and the nightlantern people

So all I can imagine is demons being like:

Humans discriminate each other based on *rapidly check notes* skin...colour????? and where you come from and what you believe in???? Not on who can knock out the most teeth????????????????

Just absolutely bamboozled by it

Also about knowing what the human world is like, we find out in S3 that at least Mammon has a pretty good idea what the human world is like because of how often he visits it due to running errands for Lucifer, paying debts to the witches, visiting his kid - to the point that he blends in pretty easily unlike some people *cough*Satan*cough*

ALSO ALSO

It's not human world racism but Nightbringer shows that the 7 brothers have a pretty good idea of what racism actually is, given the way they're initially treated by civilians of the Devildom (eg: how they're kicked out of shops) and how they still seem to be treated by the nobility. "Fallen Angel" also seems to be a slur or something similar which I will never get over

We also get to see a lot of racism from the angels towards the demons in S1-4 and vice versa in Nightbringer. Also, of course, keep in mind that the Devildom and the Celestial Realm aren't actually Hell and Heaven and it's not a story of Evil vs. Good, so like Mammon and MC say in Nightbringer there's no actual difference between being an angel or a demon other than living in a strict society vs living in a free/chaotic society

And going on a tangent here because this interests me:

About the Sins vs Nobility and how they treat lesser demons

We never see the Sins, or Diavolo for that matter, treating lesser demons badly despite being some of the most high ranking demons in the realm:

• With Diavolo of course it'd go against his personality to treat them differently

• The second Dames event shows that the Sins seem to have more of a problem with the nobility than anything else

• Which is supported by how against them the nobility are in Nightbringer

• Through Mephisto, in the current time, we see that though this attitude has mellowed out it hasn't completely left

• Despite the Sins and the Nobility generally being in a similar station of power there's a huge difference between their attitudes towards the lesser demons

• Mephisto for instance is so rich that not only is Belphie shocked by it but Mephisto has also never eaten a burger before which is insane

• Meanwhile, all the Sins have frequently held working class jobs, either because they're genuinely trying to earn some money or because they're covering a shift for a friend

• In Nightbringer, despite thinking MC is a lesser demon they're never really treated differently by the Sins. If they are ordered around (which again is very rarely) it's because they're literally working for the Sins and if MC doesn't want to do what they're ordered to they just... don't and they face no consequences. The Sins also acknowledge and respect MC's competence and opinion.

• Meanwhile, in Nightrbringer we see Mephisto (who is literally and narratively a representative of the House of Lords and Nobility) thinking MC's a lesser demon; ignore MC, dismiss their opinion and expect to be shown out of RAD by them without even being asked which heavily implies that due to their perceived difference in position this is MC's duty even if they don't work for Mephisto/Diavolo/RAD

• The Sins seem to see more of themselves in the lesser demons than in the Nobility which makes sense when you consider how they came to the Devildom with nothing, had to rely on Diavolo to survive, still live in what is essentially a RAD dormitory and have to actually work and earn money to buy the things they want

• Whereas, the Nobility are probably demons who had to fight their way to the top long before Diavolo's grandfather introduced the laws and then spent generations at the top, amassing wealth and getting more than used to their set status quo

May I request jing yuan, blade, and sampo with reader that needs to leave for a while and them have to babysit their child?

-----♡

A/N: omg I love this idea sm, so thank you for the request!<33

Content: Fluff, babysitting, established relationship, kinda unserious, sampo being a menace, sfw

Reader has no set pronouns!

((Not fully proofread))

-----♡

》Jing Yuan

He's honestly the most responsible one out of the three and the best babysitter. He takes care of Yanqing after all already, so another child would be no problem for him. It helps, that your kid immideatly feels attached to Jing Yuan upon meeting him too.

So, he promises to keep your child safe whilst your gone and takes the day off as well. He has to take care of a young kid after all, so a break is justified, right? (Fu Xuan is definitely not impressed, but let's it slide for now.) He patiently teaches them how to play Xiangqi and even let's them win a couple times. He'd also show them around his office and answer all and any questions they may have with ease.

By the end of the day, you return to your sleeping child being cradled in the older man's arms, as he is also peacefully napping away. It's honestly such an adorable sight, that it once more reassures you how perfect Jing Yuan is for you and your child.

-----♡

》Blade

Many would question your sanity at leaving your child with this man and he certainly questions it as well. However, you were in such a hurry, that you only gently pushed your pouting child in your dear lovers direction and quickly left with a promise to return in the evening. He couldn't even get a word in about the decision either.

That caused a staring contest between the two, that lasted for about 10 minutes, until your kid suddenly demanded to have a duel. Blade deadpanned and bluntly told them, that he could easily defeat and kill them with one strike, but the kid just told him that they didn't believe it. And so, Blade decided to give the kid his duel and whilst he didn't go easy on the child, he ofcourse didn't hurt them either.

By the time you came back, your kid was dead asleep against Blade's shoulder, as the man calmly cleaned his sword. He will never tell you about the duel, but he's secretly impressed by your child's bravery. Maybe he'll be "nicer" to them from now on.

-----♡

》Sampo

It'd be a miracle, if this man didn't somehow forget about your child whilst taking care of it. But alas, he still tries to be the best babysitter possible for you and promises that no harm will come to them. What he didn't promise however, was that there won't be any mischief or pranks involved either.

He's a busy man after all and always has so much to do to get the money he needs to spoil you rotten, so what's the harm in showing the kid a couple tricks they may need in the future? Sure, most of them may be a little... illegal, but knowing how to pick locks or steal people's wallets may come in handy one day!

And no, he doesn't see it as necessary to tell you about what he taught the kid either... until your child proudly shows you how to pick a lock... yeah, he's certainly never babysitting again.

-----♡

A/N: Thank you again for the request, Anon! I hope, you liked it!<33

The fact that nobody has thought of a fastfood au where Spider is this neglected teenager working at McDonald's so that he can save up to like move out and get away from Qauritch (he's so desperate to get out that college isn't even on his radar atm) and Neteyam is this popular boy at their school who's is a year younger than him and comes in to McDonald's with his little sister frequently and Spider doesn't think he even knows his name but one day on their way out Neteyam turns to him and says "have a good day Spider" or some shit like that and the romance only grows from there with Neteyam figuring out his problems and trying to help him/get him into a good collage and I mean honestly people the fic just writes itself.

UGH I LOVE IT, I am simply shocked no one has written me personally a nocorro fic yet. A nice long one with all the pain and drama we've been describing but I want the COMFORT TOO PLEASE.

But anyways, you've brought up something I've been mulling over for a while now for one of my headcanon posts. Part of Neteyam's pressure and expectations come from him being the next Olo'eyktan. I can't figure out how to translate this into a modern au. Most of the time it'd be easy to make him the heir to a big company or the son of a politician in a weird Young Royals way, but clown couple Jake and Neytiri Sully simply do NOT have the vibes for that, nor does it fit their characters. I've thought about maybe Neytiri's family running a large non-profit that Neteyam is somewhat expected to take over, or perhaps something like the free clinic in my other au.

Either way, the reason I bring it up is because I love the idea of them both having similar but fundamentally different problems to bond over. This is what I mean, bear with me:

-Spider works at McDonalds to save money like you said. He's barely got any friends because he just moved there from another one of his dads deployments, and he's so busy picking up every possible shift he can that he can. He needs the money. He opens before school and closes most nights.

-Neteyam picks up Tuk from ballet practice at night on Wednesday's, because it is his parents Date Night. He gets his sister McDonalds one night because he stayed up way too late studying for an exam last night and he's far too tired to cook. The drive through is manned by the prettiest boy ever.

-By the third Wednesday Tuk is suspicious, but he keeps buying her McDonalds as a bribe to keep her mouth SHUT about it. At least, she keeps her mouth shut to the family. She won't stop talking to him about it. It's always "Neteyam, did you see McDonalds Guy today? I think he goes to your school, he has to. Neteyam, if we go to McDonalds tomorrow will he be there too? Does he only work Wednesdays?" She's like his inner thoughts because he wants to know all those things too.

-I mean, it's only a matter of time before Tuk opens her big fat mouth TO Spider. She rattles off personal questions like she's the goddamn census, and Neteyam wants to die.

-But, he learns quickly that Spider is a military brat and he wants nothing more than not to be in the military. It sparks something for Neteyam, because he wants nothing more than to be like his parents, and do what they do and do it just as well. It's the same sort of long shadow, just a different tactic for getting out from under it.

-Tuk is sick the next Wednesday mysteriously, but Neteyam is still craving McDonalds.

-It becomes a regular thing, but not on Wednesdays. Wednesdays he starts sometimes bringing Tuk home for a regular adult meal. But Thursday's he spends at McDonalds, and he brings Spider real food in Tupperware containers marked with the name Sully like Spider has other Tupperware to mix it up with.

-Somehow it becomes almost every night. Doing his homework in a booth, Spider joining him when he's free, sliding in and out. Neteyam's full attention on him every time he has a free second.

-One night Neteyam invites him over. Neteyam stayed until closing time and suddenly can't bear the thought of Spider going home, to no one if he's lucky and his dad if he isn't. Spider refuses and after that they don't speak for a couple days, silence in the booth. No one says anything but Neteyam still shows and brings Tupperware, and Spider still slides in to join him when he has a free moment.

-Eventually Spider agrees, and Neteyam is forced to show up at close to nine pm with a stranger that he has never mentioned but Tuk is DELIGHTED to see.

-Jake and Neytiri are confused but can recognize a tired, fairly neglected kid when they see one so they offer up the basement couch with no fanfare at all.

-Neteyam is slightly peeved because he was going to have Spider share his bed, it's a king it's plenty big enough, but Neytiri wasn't born yesterday lol. Even Jake is like nah nah, you've been gay since we watched the first Percy Jackson movie kid. Go have a sleepover with Tsireya or something.

-I think Jake Sully has a fairly excellent gaydar, honed from time in the military. You gotta know which guys to fuck. @dinas-bracelet this is the bi Jake Sully agenda.

This is a bonus because this is already FAR too long:

-Neteyam gets increasingly exasperated because no matter how many nights Spider is there or how long into their relationship it gets, Spider downright refuses to move from the basement couch. He will cling to it like a cat if Neteyam tries to move him. He goes boneless and becomes a dead weight.

-Finally Neteyam just sleeps down there one night. This concept has clearly never occured to Spider, who upon realizing there is no moving Neteyam (he can go boneless too, damnit), lays there stiff as a board mummy-wrapped in blankets to keep Neteyam's hands off of him. When he falls asleep though, Neteyam gets in there. Spider is unconsciously tactile, and basically spoons him the entire night.

-The next morning Neytiri walks into the basement to check that Spider is awake for work, turns around and goes back to the top of the stairs, and then walks down again really loudly to alert them to her presence.

#this is fairly all over the place but oh well #it simply JUMPED out of me #sometimes the headcanons hit me at the right moment and the right vibe #and i love matchmaker evil child sibling tuk who loves spider and loves torturing neteyam #this basically became a neteyam character study #him pining for spider from afar #you can't tell me neteyam isn't PEAK i can fix him vibes #he so thinks he can fix him #every fight they have in this theoretical fic would be either spider being bad at sharing feelings or neteyam trying to fix spiders #problems for him #that is our mans toxic trait #neteyam sully #miles spider socorro #spider socorro #nocorro #tuktirey sully #jake sully #neytiri sully #avatar #avatar the way of water #james cameron avatar #melissa on avatar (cameron)#melissa's asks #we are mindmelding get in #modern au (wheelchair jake! edition)#modern au (jake legs! edition)

Describing a couple more wigs:

I'm getting back into this topic because of one wig:

This is the Dahlia from Sepia, and it's absolutely why we need more pictures of inside-out wigs on wig selling sites.

It's a nice long, layered cut with a center part. This is sold as a heat-resistant lace front wig. That's the only info they give you about it.

This wig was my first lace front wig that I owned, and I had so much trouble making it look good. I assumed that lace front wigs were really difficult to wear, and that I'd trimmed the lace wrong and ruined the wig.

In reality, it's hard to wear because they give you 1/4" of lace on the front and a piece the size of a postage stamp in the parting. Lace front. But just the very front. The absolute VERY front. I can assure you that this wasn't me overzealously cutting off too much lace. The wig only has that much hair on the lace.

As you can see from the inside-out picture, the lace in the part is only about an inch wide and two inches long. In addition to this not being able to be moved, it really doesn't go far enough back to look like a natural part. There wasn't ever enough of a lace section to thin out the front, so the front edge of the wig goes from zero hair to full hair in the span of exactly zero space. If I had glued down the temple and taken off my glasses, it'd look a little bit more realistic, but I didn't feel like doing tape and glue when I was taking these pictures last night at 10pm.

I believe I paid about $60 for this wig, because I had no idea what a lace front wig should be like and just went "oh yeah, it makes sense that it'll be expensive! It's a lace wig!"

I would not recommend paying extra money because "lace front," in this case. The sudden appearance of a full amount of hair looks a TINY bit more realistic than a front with no lace at all, but it's not great. If you can get this for the same price as a non-lace of a similar style, it's probably a little better. But I really don't recommend it.

And that's because this wig was only 2/3rds the price of that wig, and it's way better.

The brand on this one is called BTWTRY and you can get it on Amazon in 30 different colors.

The lace section on the front of this is about 2.5" wide, as opposed to the slightly less than 1/4" on the Sepia wig.

This wig is also heat resistant and so you aren't stuck with the super straight hair it comes with. The fiber is really nice. Don't judge it by my picture up there, since I didn't spend long untangling it and I store my wigs in paper grocery bags.

So my background is in theatre, and in a theatrical context you really never have people closer to your actor's hairline than about 2.5 feet, so I'm not great at blending the lace. But unlike the blonde wig, I actually feel like the blending is possible.

Again, I wasn't going to glue this down at 10pm, so here's a lovely picture of the lace lifting up. There is also a problem that I tend to run into, which is that my hair is a really different color from the wig's, and if the wig slides back then my hairline is really visible. If your hair color is similar to or darker than the wig, having a bit of your natural hairline show through is going to maybe make it more realistic. However, it's not a good look with neon pink on auburn. Also please just ignore that I was holding the lace I just cut in my mouth. I was going to try to crop that out but y'all can just know that I needed both hands to take this picture and forgot that I can put the lace down on the counter.

I wanted to show that, due to the large (ish) piece of lace in the top, you can change the part without it looking strange. However, I just ended up looking like one of the Scene kids that my mom wouldn't let me dress like when I was 14. UwU.

Amazon link here. It's $41-$45 depending on the color. When I'm comparing this to the $60 Sepia wig, it's a significantly better value.

Anyway, that's about it. Found out that I bought an overpriced wig, spent a couple hours telling the internet about it. I've got a couple more that I want to describe just to get that info on the internet, but I bought them a while ago and I have to track down if they're still available and stock pictures of them.

Also one of them is a really long wig that I got in 2009, and I let it get SO tangled.

The Night Shift.

Johnnie Guilbert x Fem!Reader.

Chapter 22.

my head pounded as i dug through my bag, praying i had some sort of pain killer in that damn thing. unfortunately, i didn't have shit. i leaned against the counter and texted johnnie.

me: johnniee

me: Are you up?

johnnie: yeah babe what's up

me: Are you coming tonight?

johnnie: Of course

me: Would you mind bringing something for my headache? it's starting out to be a terrible night, lol

johnnie: yeah ill head that way soon :)

me: Thank youuu

i turned off my phone. the bell on the door rang, and i greeted the customer. "Welcome in. what can i get for you?" Hearing the same repetitive phrase angered me tonight, way more than any other night. i cleared my throat in an attempt to calm myself down.

"Can i get a latte, please?" the girl requested.

i hummed. i turned around towards the espresso machine. i packed it and slid the container into the slot. i pressed the on button, expecting it to work, but it didn't. "you've got to be fucking kidding me." i said under my breath, hoping the customer didn't hear. i turned back around. "im so sorry, the espresso machine is broken."

"Oh, no worries!" she gave me an awkward smile before looking up at the menu. "Can i get a medium vanilla cream hot coffee?"

"yes ma'am, so sorry for the inconvenience." i picked up the coffee pot, which i had made a fresh batch not long before she had come in.

she finally received her drink. she paid and left, leaving me alone in the cafe once more. i poured myself a cup of cold water and chugged it, hoping it'd dull the pain.

i discovered that the espresso machine had just unplugged, but it was still a bitch to plug back in. i opened the cabinet and moved the extra bags of coffee beans. the plugs were in the very back of the cabinets. i was torso deep into the cabinets, trying to fish the cord out from behind the small opening in the back of it whenever johnnie walked out.

i heard a chuckle slip out of his lips. "You okay over there?"

"Yeah, just trying to plug something in." i mutter as i finally reconnect everything.

i stand up and turn to find johnnie holding a small bouquet of about 5 light pink and white tulips. i purse my lips and try to hold back tears.

"Awe, it's okay, y/n." he smiled softly, coming behind the counter to hug me. i held onto him tightly, feeling as if some of my problems had washed away. he rubbed my lower back and pulled a small container of painkillers out of his back pocket. "Here are those, if you wanna take them real quick."

he kept one arm wrapped around my waist as i did. "Thank you so much," i pecked his lips, "im so glad you're here."

he pulled up a chair behind the counter to sit with me, "What's been going on?"

"It's just that nothing seems to be working. It's just been a weird night. i have a massive headache, and my temper is super short tonight. of course, the thing was unplugged, so i had to fix that. but im only an hour into the shift, and i know the rest of the night is going to be shit." i rambled, dreading the following hours.

"Can i help around the store again? maybe that'll take some shit off of your shoulders." he offered. "What all do you have to do tonight?"

"Well, take orders, obviously. i need to sweep and mop out here and go do the last of the day shift dishes, then i need to wipe down all the counters and tables. we need to take down the valentines decorations, too." i listed off all of the main tasks that came to mind.

"Where's the broom?" he asked with zero hesitation.

"Since you really wanna help, the broom is in the closet right over there." i pointed to my right, "but really, you dont have to help."

"i wanna help, love." he replied before taking out the broom and beginning to sweep the floors.

the next hour worth of orders went smoothly. surprisingly, tonight was a busier night than usual. i decided to stop complaining, as i was getting more money, the more people that came in. johnnie then wiped off all the tables and counters, leaving them spotless.

"youre actually the best." i called from across the cafe. he smiled and gave me a thumbs up before returning to the last few tables.

"You ready to take the decorations down?" he asked, wiping his forehead after tossing the dirty rag in the dirty bin.

"Yeah, let's do it." i climbed up on his shoulders, figuring it'd be best to get the hard shit to take down out of the way first.

"There's a party me and jake were invited to this weekend. Do you wanna come with me? i think tara is going, too." johnnies thumb gently rubbed my thigh.

"Uh, obviously," i stuttered. i tossed the small stack of heart cutouts onto the floor before moving on to the next one. "Why wouldn't i want to go?"

he shrugged. "i dunno."

"My parents are coming to town soon. i told my mother about you, and she wants to meet you." i mentioned. i was anxious for his response. "Do you want to?"

"Uh, yeah? of course i fucking do." he giggled.

i sighed, "i just need to warn you, im not sure if she'll like you. she's very judgemental."

"Then I'll earn it. dont worry, y/n."

"You'll earn her liking you?" i raised my eyebrow even though he couldn't see.

"Yeah, I'll find a way." he patted my upper thigh.

after i picked the last heart off of the wall, i got off of his shoulders. he placed a soft kiss on my lips. i replied, "im sure you will."

Isn't it short-sighted to argue "this form of microtransaction is okay, actually?" we've seen historically that the gaming industry will start with more justifiable microtransactions and then begin taking the piss, and by accepting that fast-travel is now a thing which can be incorporated into the sphere of michael transactions it's only a matter of time before they use acceptance of DD2 as justification to crowbar something worse in. Hell, capcom specifically have been known to add more monetisation into their games post-launch (hello Re4r!) and it'd be way easier and less-noticable for them to fuck with drop rates to pressure people invested in the game to pay up than for them to add the monetisation wholecloth! There is a situation here where, even accepting that as-is it's not predatory it can very easily be made predatory for money and capcom has incntives to do so.

To be clear, I'm not asking you to formally denounce the entirety of DD2, I've really enjoyed how much you like it! I think it's good when people enjoy art, I just also think video games are being enshittified and DD2 is very well-placed to both enshittify itself and the industry as a whole; having that conversation while acknowledging it's a good game is useful for everyone.

that's just the argument for anything though? Like. any aspect of a video game can be enticed through microtransactions. fast travel, cosmetics, drop rates, gear. it can all be used as a way to drive more sales via microtransactions, I'm personally saying this is a much more tepid exploration of it. Like. you're not very enticed to pay for these things you obtain regularly but also have no context for early on.

in general I don't like this like "in the future this can be a problem" angle because it serves the same function of saying "if" in a debate; it sets a precedent that is always favored by the person who presented it. its basically saying "well if X happens then Y will happen as a result" where X is a situation presented specifically to make Y the outcome. "if this is successful, then it will prove marketable for the future". like yeah. at the end of the day capcom is a business and their priority is making money, however shitty it may be, and they're going to try to make money however they can without doing something that is an overall detriment to the game, at least in a way that hurts sales.

for a 70 dollar game yeah 15 extra dollars on top of that is like. gross. i get that and i agree with that. but this is hardly the first or last time it will happen and in a like. hardly viable way i feel? like. Microtransactions are just not going anywhere ever. they've been introduced and will stay in the game forever. this just seems like one of the least harmful ways ive seen it utilized.

I have my issues with this game yeah but like. being 35 hours into the game, my perspective is: i was never enticed to buy the dlc because 1 i didn't know what items they were in the early game and 2 once i got far enough into the game to have context for the items i didnt feel it was worth the buy. there will always be people who buy dlc at first jump and that's their prerogative they do what they want. my issue is people treating this like its the most egregious use of microtransactions in the last decade are absurd.

#i just got tired of replying halfway through

sister

The two weren't very close growing up.

Atsuya could see curses, his sister could not.

He didn't want her to get involved in any jujutsu nonsense, but that meant he had a hard time opening up about his day to day issues, especially on the day he had taken the life of a sorcerer.

When she asked if he'd ever tell her what's going on, he would decline. This led to some friction between them as Atsuya purposely distanced himself and began to obsess over mastering New Shadow Style.

Atsuya become busy with education and training in his late-teens to young adult, sending money over as a sorry for not being able to visit. At some point, his sister visits and begs Atsuya to help her take care of her child, Takeru. Her husband had left and her apartment was a mess, she was struggling hard and she swallowed her pride. Atsuya wouldn't have said no, and he felt as if he had failed in noticing how bad the situation was and how his sister felt so terrible to beg him for his help.

Because of that, the two become close again.

Atsuya declined becoming a Grade 1 sorcerer as he wanted to focus on helping raise Takeru. Attending sports events, academic events, and overall just being a good uncle. Atsuya even began to open up to his sister about his problems, and promised to always be there for the two.

One day, while Atsuya is helping Takeru with his homework, his sister jokingly mentions he should become a teacher if he really wanted to quit this whole "fighting curses thing". He replies that he wouldn't be able to spoil the two rotten with that salary and the three laugh.

It wasn't even a curse that killed Takeru.

A freak accident, even if Atsuya had been there, he couldn't have prevented. Human life wasn't only threatened by curses, and that had been a bleak reminder to him.

Unfortunately, Takeru's last words had cursed his mother.

She wouldn't eat, move, barely slept... nothing Atsuya could do would help, and desperate times called for desperate measures. He then begged Yaga to help him, even if it'd put both their lives at risk with the higher ups, because he couldn't bare seeing his sister like this anymore.

He becomes a Grade 1 sorcerer soon after to ensure his sister gets high quality healthcare 24/7, and was also given a job as a teacher since there was an opening for it. He knows the value of life, he can't let his sister truly lose her family so he's exceedingly cautious than most sorcerers. He's her primary caretaker.

Atsuya still lives in the same apartment his sister and Takeru lived in. It's a lot quieter, but it's still the same messy apartment since Takeru died. His sister is in a healthcare facility just a short drive away.

He can't really be bothered to clean it. It's just a place to sleep in now, after all.

One day, during a particularly nasty curse ravaging a school, Atsuya rescues a young Kasumi Miwa. When he looks at her, he's reminded of his youth in which he'd pick his sister up from her school.

So when Miwa asks if she could try swinging a sword too since she saw the curses, he sighs and lets her tag along.

#eve;drabbles #atsuya kusakabe #takeru jjk #miwa kasumi #ok to reblog #this was a lot longer than i thought #jjk writing #jjk fic #kind of #i attached a song that helped me visualize their relationship

Film Friday: Bullet Train

I've been missing a few Film Fridays lately, partially because mental health has just kinda been like that and partially because I've been struggling with a slightly more meaty analysis that my brain just won't let me figure out properly. As such, I'm going to get into the swing of things again with a movie that is pretty stupid, and I say that with all possible love and admiration.

Ladybug isn't really comfortable with the title of hitman anymore, he's trying out a more harmonic life, but even so he does find it in himself to undertake what should by all accounts be a simple last-minute job. Board the eponymous train, grab a suitcase, and get off at the next station. Oh, were it only so easy. Turns out said bullet train is flush with kooky assassins and hitmen who are either out for the suitcase, the lives of one or more of each other, or have larger and more ominous designs.

There's Ladybug, of course, the quirky pair of British wetworks men Lemon and Tangerine out to escort a drugged-out VIP and a suitcase full of money, notorious and sneaky The Hornet who's skulking about somewhere, the megalomaniacal but brilliant Prince playing a larger game with the life of desperate father Kimura's child as ante, as well as the hot-headed Wolf who is out for vengeance and a paycheck, but mostly the vengeance thing. It's quite the web of coincidences, interferences, and merry chaos as these murderers navigate the crowded train.

It's chaotic, but one throughline that honestly makes the constant shifting priorities and allegiances of Ladybug and the other hitmen work is that it's all a job to them, a very messy job that may or may not be arranged by a Russian usurper of the Yakuza crime syndicate known as White Death, but still a job. Whenever it's expedient for our heroes and antiheroes to not kill each other, they'll show professional courtesy to each other, bantering in that "a little bit too cool" stylized way that's second nature to Hollywood assassins.

What sets the banter apart, though, is a distinct sense of humor. Lemon, much to Tangerine's annoyance, has a theory of human personalities and moral character based on Thomas The Tank Engine. Ladybug has luck that fluctuates wildly between being impossibly good and impossibly bad, and he has a problem with remembering faces which makes some of the networking with his fellow killers challenging. Wolf's role in the movie is short in a way that feels darkly comedic yet apt, and I was surprised to learn this was, in fact, a cameo from musician Bad Bunny (listen, I'm old, ok?)

It's all breezy fun. The movie takes itself about as seriously as any movie that features a Japanese-language cover of "Holding Out For A Hero" in a moment of high drama, but that's fine, the movie expects you to chuckle along, knowing full well it has your heart in a vise by the third cover of "I'm forever blowing bubbles." Not a joke by the way, the few moments that Bullet Train allows itself to express emotion more complex than "holy shit" and/or laughter, it's acted well enough and with enough genuine skill that it actually gets to me a fair bit.

It'd be an act of overstatement to call Bullet Train all that deep, but it adds up to more than the sum of its parts. It ends up saying some fun things about fate. I wouldn't exactly cite it in a philosophy paper or anything of the sort, it is fun to sit at the end of the "Michael Shannon plays Russian roulette in an oni mask to look badass" movie and go "You're right movie, maybe human misery DOES come from the hubris of believing ourselves to be masters over fate." I don't know, it's just nice for a crowd-pleasing action movie to go out on a note of what seems like a genuinely held belief and not "welp that happened" glibness. It reminds me a bit of Mr. and Mrs. Smith like that, a movie I'll probably end up talking about here one of these days.

#film friday #bullet train 2022 #I also didn't really have time to get into it #but there are some parallels between Ladybug and Nagito Komeda of Dangen Ronpa #in that “very intense luck that could be argued to be very good or very bad but whatever it is it is a lot” sense #No idea if it reflects a Japanese cultural idea about luck or not #would love to dig into that a little deeper one day if the opportunity should present itself #anyway Bullet Train is fun go watch it

I have a problem and can't access my fake account, so I will let you guys know if I need to make a new one

But other than that, the plan seems to be going well and I'm somewhat relieved as of now

My friend irl is 100% going along with and even helping fake evidence to pin blames on the bitch named KJ

Just so you guys can know the full context of that, last week KJ tried to spread a rumour that my bf was cheating on me, so i have a grudge against her and i hate her (she's always been rude and really upset my bf). So this week when my friend irl told on me sending her snapchat messages when I was having a mental breakdown and wanting to die, then proceeding to get high off of painkillers, and I got into all of this shit because of that, she felt really bad because she didn't intend for it to go this far. She was just really really worried about me (but I can't help but be mad at her, but not take it out on her ofc cuz she's bending hell to help me rn)

So even though the counselor and CPS (which the school called) know that my friend reported it and the messages were real, the principal and other staff aren't aware of who reported me..or that there are messages. Although we are pretty sure that with my principal looking into it, he'll find out my friend reported me- so we're lying to say that KJ faked SnapChat messages and told her to concern her and get her to start drama with the office as revenge for me snitching and getting her a Friday school.

But during all of this, my father called the school to know who called CPS, and the principal ended up spilling about me being LGBTQ and having a trans bf, so I need to cover up two huge things here that can fuck me over. My home life would be a living hell and I'd kill myself to not live in the environment where my father knows I'm LGBTQ, and he wouldn't let me attend a vocational school i wanna go to if my bf went to it, so he'd be uining my only hopes of having some form of a future. So it'd be useless

And as of today, I had a talk to the principal where I had to be really transphobic about my bf so I can appeal to his ideologies and get by convincing him I wasn't gay so he'd convey it back to my father. Since I'd previously told him KJ 'started a rumour about me and my friend' (that being the cheating rumour) i decided to utilise that fact to my advantage by saying the rumour was us dating, and that it wasn't true. I had to deadname and misgender my bf the whole time and I felt awful..but he believed me and that's what matters

I told the principal about the 'hunch it was KJ who started this' and she was called to the office at one point. She came back in guitar class and she almost seemed like she was crying?..but the look on her face and the way she stared at me read that..she was pissed. So I started to play 'Ode to Joy' really loudly on my guitar as she walked past, then a smiled when she looked away.

She kept looking over at me, and didn't even play guitar but instead was on her computer the whole class. She always gave me this dirty fucking look.

She kind of did ask me to throw her under twenty buses when she fucked me over before, and she's my only logical blame since it'd make sense for her to do something like this

I got my bf to delete some emails we've sent to each other so our lazy ass principal won't find em (of me comforting him about our relationship over the cheating rumour), and now we can't be out at school (atleast until my father and his chatting chills out). Cuz the principal wants me to stop being so close to him, and will report back to my father with any shit we do together.

So we're tryna get our friend to sit with us in lunch more so it dont look like us watching our show at lunch is a romantic thing

And I lost a part to my wired ear buds we were sharing (and it's kind of awkward with the wire) so since I had a shit ton of money on me today and went out to the mall (and spent 100 fucking dollars), I stopped by another store and bought some wireless earbuds and a case

So I spent like 130-140$ plus gave my friend 60$ to buy me a phone, which she will give me the change to a 50$ (+tax) phone on Monday.

Also same friend got me a bag where I shoved a lot of my gay and illegal items in so the principal won't see the gay magnets in my locker, nor will CPS find it (since they said they'd report it to my parents), and I definitely don't want CPS finding my illegal shit (vape, cigarettes + lighter, and painkillers I abuse).

So as of right now, the plan is doing fine. I'm not going to speak ahead of time, cuz my room is still going to be looked through and all..but there's a slim chance that CPS will just drop the case and not return. But that's also a call for a miracle. However if CPS were to fuck off, then this whole situation would subside and everything would be fine

I just hope they'll fucking drop it

Dark! Nikolai Zinoviev

i almost vomited in my mouth with every word written, but i gotta let the trauma out

edit: i am sorry for anyone having to read my unbetad version. also this partly was inspired by my cravings for cookies my mom makes sometimes.

tw: misoginy

dark Nikolai where he takes you home, be that wherever, imo he just moved his family out of Russia as soon as he could

• and he actually introduces you to his family, but they are kind of old fashioned and so misogynistic it's astronomical

• although it doesn't matter if you're not a woman. it's their son, who has been so good his entire life, it must be you who is the problem. you should just listen to him, he knows best.

• they believe the husband has the final word in everything, where you live, when you can leave the house and speaking badly about him is disrespectful and even the fact that he lets you do it shows how spoiled you are

• if you manage to look past this thing with his parents, they can actually be a nice company

• they even let you in the kitchen and do your own thing - "as it's your duty to learn these household skills if you haven't yet to serve your husband better"

• you get to learn cool cookie recipes though

• of course he has another place for you, away from his parents if you choose to misbehave or if he just wants some alone time with you. can't have them stressed out by your crying fits and screaming. imagine how horrified his mother would be if she knew you reject your own husband. a man has needs !!

• with all the money he gets from being a mercenary you have the opportunity to be spoiled rotten. of course if you behave.

• he doesn't ask much. don't try to escape, don't try to hurt him - you won't succeed anyways, but after a tiring day of working and being the breadwinner of the family the last thing he wants is a bratty spouse trying to outmatch him. really? all his life he has been doing this. maybe if you have the same or at least similar life experiences, were military or something maybe you can get a punch or two in. but since you don't have these daily trainings anymore, you couldn't possibly keep up your physique and it's just a matter of time before any chance of overpowering him withers away.

• when he first brings you home he won't chain you to the bed, as he knows what long-term immobilisation can do to someone and he doesn't want his darling dying on him because of something stupid like this

• he will watch your every step instead. if you get too close to something you can hurt yourself with he will just manhandle you away from it to somewhere safer.

• you need to understand, how it is from now on. life is unfair and while he had to flee from a shitty country and has been stuck doing these kind of jobs, you have this little something making things a little harder. it's not that uncommon, you know? in a lot of countries it's just tradition. be glad he doesn't force himself on you.

• it's not much he asks. stay inside be a nice little doll for him, try to behave and have some kind words for him at times. aside from that he would be glad if you had sex with him but it's not necessary. he can just get a hooker or something if he wants release. but a homemaker, someone he knows is waiting for him at the end of the day has always been missing from his life. you have to understand, it's basic human needs. and it's really hard to date when you are kind of a wanted criminal.

• if he is sure you won't try to pull anything on him, you can even go outside together. shopping, seeing a fair, on a vacation. of course if stockholm-syndrome strikes first.

• but why wouldn't you want a great guy like him? he is about putting in equal effort. think of it as a sugar relationship. haven't you ever tought of how nice it'd be? being someone's sugar baby, pampered, dressed up in expensive clothes and jewelery, only having to think about life's pleasures - while the only thing you needed to do was give a little something back.

so our hvac is fucking dying [ISSUE RESOLVED]

leaving this up for posterity but putting everything under a readmore. thank you to those who helped out

in truth the entire thing has needed replacing for some time but we (my mom & I) can't even afford to get it serviced currently. I've been trying to find some alternative means of funding to avoid ebegging but the situation is getting to a breaking point & might end up with us not having heating during the winter either

a patch job that'll last the rest of the year (which we had done last year) would take about $780. though the patch job from last year only lasted for so long, it'll at least allow us to sleep through the rest of this year's godforsaken heat (& it'd be around/over $10k to get a new ac entirely - which, again, is money we don't have)

my p*yp*l is @tachyonomlette - anything helps but if you'd like an incentive I'll do full-color half-body comms (no nsfw or hateful themes) for $35 each. any hate will be removed/blocked. thank you for your time

(more thorough explanation of the situation under the cut)

[original readmore]

we've had to set the ac well above 90F every day in order to prevent it running 24/7 bc it's physically incapable of cooling the house & even by opening the windows and buying portable mini air coolers (which is all we can afford) we're having problems sleeping & being functional during the day bc we can't get the house cool enough at night either. AND the control panel just shat itself so the ac is stuck on 95F (though it might just need a new battery. hopefully). the heat in the house is ALSO overtaxing our refrigerator, which is ALSO outdated & on the verge of failing if we aren't careful

my mom can barely afford to pay every other expense we have to deal with & I'm not in a position where I can get a job right now. normally my dad (who doesn't live with us) would cover part of the expenses but this year he isn't even willing to help with the district taxes let alone maintenance issues, so we're a little bit in a rough spot rn

#fuuuuuuuuuck #i WILL draw comms for people who ask it of me but i can only guarantee a time window of 1 month maximum #im sick and tired of being sick and tired and sweaty all the time
