meowdy! looks like our move to a new apartment is not going to be so peaceful after all - our old apartment is currently leaking sewage water and we have to evacuate four people and two cats! donations are appreciated, but im opening an emergency sale + commissions too! (more under the cut)
KO-FI SHOP SALE + EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!
DISCOUNT CODE IS 'LEAK' IN ALL CAPS
so for this section, i'm going to break down everything thats happening + when things will come off hiatus! i'm hoping that everything will be set up in the new place by JUNE 1st, so that is the hard deadline i'm setting to start all functions up again as usual.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
two years ago, my fiance and i were offered emergency housing when we (very suddenly and tragically) became the parents to his orphaned little sister. both of us are only 26 and had to move 8 hours from where we had been living at the time, so the housing we had was the best 2 people with few connections and no established jobs could find within a single weeks notice.
since then, we have been saving up and working to finally have a proper place to live. and we did so! at the beginning of this month we found an apartment where all of us can move to. we have a friend staying with us who is helping with the move as well.
i really wanted this move to be seamless - basically, you wouldn't have had to know it was happening. we were going to pay double rent for two months while i would stream and work from the old place, and begin sleeping at the new one. its expensive, but i didn't want my real life to trouble anyone here.
unfortunately this is no longer possible. the old building we were staying at had a pipe begin to leak, then eventually flood our entire apartment. this has been a reoccurring problem the landlord hasn't seemed to find a solution for, and it's led to a biohazard where we were planning on slowly moving from - leading to an immediate and emergency evacuation for the safety of everyone in our family.
SO... STREAMING?
will be back online as soon as possible! we moved out our tech as soon as we could due to fear of water damage, and it seems like everything is A-OK. we just need to rebuild my desk and sound proof the new room, so this will probaaabbly be back online within a week? im just going to take the week off to make sure everything is set up and there are no bugs. (digital. digital bugs.)
LAIKA'S COMET?
for the sake of not losing my buffer crazystyle, i'm pausing laika's until JUNE 1st. but i'm going to post one more page right now to leave you guys on a cliffhanger because i think it's funny. (the ko-fi will still update as regular as i finish pages! tbh, in between moving i am going to be drawing.... a LOT... it's like my only self soothing activity i have access to right now </3)
SHOP STUFF?
you basically won't notice a difference. orders go out every 2 weeks anyway, and literally the day before this happened we completely caught up to date. that + all of the goods we had were already moved over because (similar to the tech) we were worried about water damage, so nothing will be yucky... (i dont know if i can say the same about our furniture or clothes ; _ ; )
FINAL NOTES
while we did manage to get out with emergency bags and a weeks worth of outfits + things to sleep on + cook with, we have no real means of knowing the extent of damage until we bring things out of the apartment and clean them here. thankfully *most* things appear undamaged, its largely the flooring and the smell that are unliveable... walking through puddles of sewage water and having to wear a mask to breathe is not really liveable conditions.
however, considering this move is sped up way faster than planned, and i wont be able to work during it - any sales or donations are hugely appreciated. ; w ;
i'm sorry to ask for help like this, and its only if you are comfortable to do so!!! i can work hard, so i don't mind doing a little extra art to make money, this is just if you feel okay to help out and would like to.
if you read this far, thank you so much - hopefully next time i will return with good news - and maybe a new apartment tour...?

Asymetrical Symphony - Part 7
Universe: Arcane (LOL)
Pairing: Viktor x reader
Summary: You had been on the rooftop with Jayce and the Herald and somehow you were sent to a place where things can be different with your help
Disclaimers and Warnings: If you want me to tag you on the chapters let me know! Also leave a comment with your thoughts :D Not finished, not proofread. English isn't my 1st language. All I know about LOL is from google and all I know about Arcane is taken from the show, so inacuracies will be plenty. I have a sort of idea on how to I'm gonna go with magic and runes, so bear with me. The reader will be written as GN (going by they/them) to get everyone involved, but if you see any discrepancies let me know.
Part 1 • Part 2 • Part 3 • Part 4 • Part 5 • Part 6
• ··········· • ············ •
The ride down the elevator was awkward bordering on comical. The enforcers had been none the wiser about your deeds, unlike the fidgeting scientist next to you.
Through the blurry reflection of the golden doors you could see him open his mouth to say something but then shake his head and turn back to the door. His foot was tapping on the floor, the rhythmic thump reverberating inside the ascensor. At some point, he had turned to you for more than a second and you had looked at him, urging him to say something but he puffed some air out and turned away from you.
When the elevator pinged and the doors opened he was quick to start his march out of the elevator but you grabbed his elbow, gently. He quickly snapped his neck to look at you, his eyes wide with surprise.
“Are you going to tell them? About…” You looked and pointed up.
“What?” He paused for a second, digesting the question, and then shook his head. “No, of course… I just… We could…if you let me…”
You recognized that expression, that tone of voice, that slight high-pitched shift in his tone. Viktor was trying to hide his excitement, and it didn’t surprise you. It was Viktor, the man who would get up from being zapped by putting his left hand in a machine to then putting the right one in there just to make sure.
Esther called your name from behind Viktor and you waved at her, smiling like nothing had happened.
“She doesn't know either… So…" "She won't know from me." His gaze pivoted from you to her. "Thank you. I’ll see you around, I guess.”
You squeezed his upper arm and walked around him, feeling his golden orbs following your figure.
'That could have gone much worse' was the last thing you thought when you passed by the enforcers trying to roll up the banner that had fallen.
• ············ •
Another week had passed and you had successfully avoided the problem that was Viktor. Not that you thought he would tell on you, but you knew excited Viktor and that needed a compartment on your brain all on its own. And right now you needed all your brain capacity to think of how to approach Remembrance Day since it had been formally scheduled. Which means Ambessa’s attack had a date.
You brainstormed with your mother the best way to approach it. Telling Cait about the attack would have led you to even more suspicion unless you told her about everything but the less people knew, the better. Waiting out on the sidelines was also impossible, it could be a repeat of the rocket attack and you’d be back to square one.
At some point, you mentioned just destroying the statue and they’d have to reschedule it to get a new one, but the way your mother had said your name after told you how bad that idea was.
It was a sort of joint decision that the best way to improve the outcome was to go to the actual event. Which then gave you another hill to climb: how do you convince your mother, who was now convinced she was the hero's sidekick and one of the better-known faces of Piltover, that she can't come to a major event because it could end in tragedy. For her, for you, and Piltover.
“I have to be there!” She said calmly, sipping her coffee while you fine-tuned the piano. “You can’t be there. If something happens and I have to choose, one second could be enough for someone to die.” You didn’t even look at her, your head stuck inside the musical instrument. “Why would you need to choose? If Viktor is the catalyst to the thing, you save him.” Esther shrugged like this was the easiest decision in the world. “If you had to choose, who would you choose?” You argued, looking back at her. “Viktor.” She looked you dead in the eyes, shrugging and you couldn’t for the life of you feel even a bit surprised or disappointed. “Would you even forgive me if I had chosen otherwise?”
You shook your head. The answer to the riddle was simple, but it didn’t mean it was easy. And you would hesitate.
“You can’t come.” You insisted and she grumbled. “I’ll go. It'll be good. People will see me as an official representative of the family. The new member of the Rainemours. Stop gossiping.” “Yes, because you appearing alone in an official event will not make people think you’ve killed me and buried the body.” “Tell you what.” You leaned your elbows on the side of the piano. “I’ll go alone and then you…I don't know…a Remembrance Dinner. Or something. So people know you care…” “And why would I miss the main event when I can do both?” she questioned, raising her eyebrows at you.
A moment of silence crossed between you. You took a deep breath and nodded. Walking slowly around the piano and crouched next to where she sat. She frowned as you grinned mischievously, eyes squinting in question.
“Don't you have a book to finish?” You whispered at her.
The gasp she gasped had you biting your cheek trying not to laugh. Instead, you tilted your head, a gleam in your eyes.
“How dare you!” She said flustered, more embarrassed than angry. “I have… I’ll have you know… the chapter is well underway… and…I…” “I’m not the editor…" You interrupted and got back up to your feet. "Tell her that. She saw me at the cafe yesterday and asked for you.”
She turned her eyes from you, flustered, taking a sip of her coffee before turning to you.
"I'm your mother…" She humphed.
“You are, and I love you, and I can't lose you again. I won't." You told her, your words filled with certainty. "And in all your wisdom, I know could make any decision in a split second, but I can't. I'll freeze and I'll stutter and I'll scream and Piltover will crumple again. Please."
Esther looked at you and her gaze softened. Sighing she nodded.
"I've been feeling a little under the weather anyway."
• ············ •
Even without a plan, you came to the event, arriving early, a black ribbon pinned to your chest. With the invitation in hand, you effortlessly passed by the Enforcers at the entrance, even if some gave you the side eye.
You found a somewhat shadowy location in the courtyard, near a metal column and some boxes. And then you watched people, coming and going. Enforcers were slowly dropping in, remaining clustered at certain points, their vans closed and watched. The stage was closed off, the heavy curtains hid the statue you knew was there.
The sun was setting, making the glass shimmer and reflect the vanishing light. Their obsession with glass had been their worst enemy in both attacks. Many of the injured people had been people who got hit with shards of the sharp decoration. Whether it had fallen from the dome or broken by the Chembarons.
“Hello.” A familiar salutation came from right next to you and you jumped. “Holy blue balls…” you mumbled, placing a hand on your hip and walking in circles, trying to calm your heart. “Of Hextech…” Viktor finished the joke. “It's funny because it's true. I apologize for startling you again, but I… we need to talk and you have been avoiding me.”
You shook your head vehemently at him, your finger mimicking the motion.
“For me to avoid, I would have to frequent the same places you do, which I do not. So it’s merely a coincidence we haven’t crossed paths.” You lied through your teeth.
"Your mother told me, you didn’t want to come with her to the Lab the other day. That is the definition of avoiding someone.” He smiled triumphantly at his quip and you rolled your eyes.
This is the universe making you pay for your book comment. You looked away from him, groaning low in your throat. And then a plan started to form.
“We’ll talk, right now at the Lab.” The easiest way to get him away from the Memorial, feed his curiosity. “I can’t leave.” He muttered, looking at the stage.
He slumped his shoulders and leaned his back into the column, placing his cane between his legs, keeping it steady with the feet. He was the picture of dejected. You couldn't help but smile softly at him.
Viktor had cleaned up. His usual three-piece uniform had been replaced with a form-fitting black suit and tie, adorned with red and golden details. The white cane contrasted with the suit. His hair was still a mess, but if this Viktor had any similarities to your Viktor, nobody touched the hair unless it was to cut it.
“Jayce wants us to be here together.” He blurted out, pushing his hair out of the way with one hand. “'The pockets that keep us afloat will be here', he said ‘We need to present a united front’. I do not feel united with anyone here, to be honest, so I don’t understand why I need to be here. But he threatened me with a healthcare provider.”
“A healthcare provider? You mean a doctor?” You started to hear the worry in your voice. You hadn’t seen him cough, you felt his back brace and he still limped around, but he seemed to be breathing somewhat fine.
“I have a bruise on my back.” He pointed behind him “With the brace it’s not healing so well, so I’ve been going around without it. And it’s uncomfortable so--” He stopped suddenly and looked at you. “Why am I telling you this?”
You shrugged, theorizing that somewhere in the back of his subconscious he knew you were a friend.
“Anyway. Yes… I cannot leave.” He made a disgruntled face, looking at his feet, the cane swaying from one hand to the other, but never leaving the ground.
You sat on a box next to the column and leaned your elbows into your knees, looking forward at the crowd that was starting to form.
“Someone once told me he would rather ask for forgiveness than permission ” You looked at him through the corner of your eyes. “He must have been very reckless.” He said, his voice still hinting at the frustration of his predicament. “Sometimes. But he also got things done.”
It was excruciatingly easy for your interest to go from getting him out because of the Herald to getting him out because he was unhappy. It was like muscle memory. You'd see those golden orbs even hinting at unhappiness and you'd stop to help.
“Yes, but they are threatening me with…medical assistance.” He spat the last two words.
You were about to reply but another familiar voice shouted, coming closer. Jayce was making his way towards both of you in quick steps, his arm extended upwards as if he could go unnoticed. He was wearing a similar look to his partner, his face determined and clean-shaven. A stark contrast to the last time you saw him.
“Viktor!” he shouted again. “Jayce!” Viktor mimicked his intonation but not his enthusiasm, straightening back up and leaning into his cane. “I thought you were gone, buddy!” Jayce declared, squeezing Viktor’s arm. “Nope…still here.” “Mel wants to get me on stage with her. Usually, I’m ok with it -- Oh…Hello…” he looked at you and paused, only now realizing there was a third person there and who that third person was. “I'm Councillor Jayce Tallis of the Tallis Family.”
He showed you his hand and you took it, shaking it confidently. It has been a while since you have seen him like this. Not excited, given the time and place, but carefree, normal…untraumatized.
“I know who you are.” You stated and he nodded. “I also know who you are.” He gave you an uncomfortable grin. “Caitlyn was not happy about your mother paying off a Judge to set you free.”
Viktor audibly groaned and you could almost see him run a hand from forehead to chin.
“Mr. Tallis,” you smiled at him, squaring your shoulders and tilting your head to the side. “My mother didn’t pay a judge to set me free. She paid an attorney to write a legally binding document that would allow me to keep being a person of interest in the investigation, but instead of rotting in a jail cell until someone decided to pluck me out because they figured out how to put me in the pit for good, I would be doing it so from the comforts of my own home.”
Silence between the scientists. You gave Jayce the sweetest of smiles and added.
“Fortunately I was born on the side of the bridge that allows me those types of…leniency.”
Jayce was about to retort back but Viktor beat him to the punch.
“I hardly think antagonizing the child of one of our benefactors is going to show a united front.”
“Ah…right… I forgot.” He blabbered, pushing a hand through his gelled hair. “How’s Esther? Madame Rainemour…you mother…” “Sick and working.” “Yes, we received her letter.” Jayce smiled awkwardly, grasping at any straw that would make him look more approachable. “Editors' deadlines are just like Investors deadlines. Pesky little buggers.”
The deep exasperated sigh that Viktor lets out behind you was enough for Jayce to understand what he had said. You were so close to bursting out laughing. This was the elixir for all your troubles, Jayce Tallis and Viktor bickering. They could go for hours really.
“The deadlines! I meant the deadlines!” Jayce corrected himself
His shoulders deflated and you snickered, stealing a glance at Viktor, who was supporting a disapproving expression, holding his head on his fingertip, slightly shaking it.
“No worries Councilor. I understand these are…trying times.” You acknowledge, trying to get him out of his funk. “Yes.” He sighed deeply, stealing a glance at Mel’s form behind him.
“You should go to her.” You encouraged softly, he looked at you surprised and you shrugged. “Help with the speech and all. United front. The councilors and the science.”
And if he was on stage, the criminal that was gonna jump her would be easier to fend off too. Jayce would jump at the opportunity to be a hero and unlike others, he would do it without wanting recognition, although it kept knocking on his door. That’s just who he was.
“Viktor?” He asked and you turned to look at his partner. “Go. If this is your conduit with all of our patrons, I fear we won’t have any funding left when this is over.” He rolled his eyes but smiled at his friend. “They’re right. Mel looks like she could use a muscled, broad shoulder to lean on right now.”
Jayce nodded and sighed, gaze moving to you again. He pushed his hand out again and you took it.
“I am sorry. I’m usually much more… likable.” “You still are. Good luck.”
You watch him walk back to Mel and place a gentle hand on her lower back, her shoulders immediately relaxing. Mel had been a good friend once upon a time and a fighter until the end.
“Please don’t judge him too harshly. He has good intentions…most of the time.” Viktor gave you a one-shoulder shrug accompanied by a side smile.
You saw a flash of pink behind him and noticed Vi approaching the center of the square, hunched down, hands in pockets. The ensemble cast was almost all here. Searching the crowd you felt a couple of eyes on you and turned your gaze to the only missing piece of the night.
If looks could kill, you'd be dead. Her eyes held the intensity of grief and loss, but also the need for vengeance and retribution and you were her closest target at the moment.
The lights began to dim and you sighed, turning your back to the Enforcer towards the stage. Let the show begin.
People kept filling the empty spaces and getting closer to hear and see the speech. You felt Viktor’s presence behind you and took a deep breath. If something happened it would be easier to have him here where you could account for him, rather than him being with Jayce on stage.
The place was now packed with a multitude of people, from all places in Piltover. Well, all places on this side of the bridge. Some had settled in a position where they could see the unveiling while others kept moving around trying to find a better spot.
A rushing couple was making their way to the front of the square and hit Viktor’s cane. The familiar thud and a surprised grunt were enough for you to step backward and put an arm up, without turning to him, knowing full well how he would usually stand, leaning his full weight on his walking aid.
“Thank you.” He mumbled, placing a hand on your clothed shoulder and another in your arm, to keep his balance. “No problem.” You whispered, trying to distract yourself from the touch by placing the tip of your foot under the cane and jerking your leg up, pulling the cane upwards to your hand. “Here you go.”
Viktor grabbed the cane with the hand that had been in your arm but kept the other on your shoulder. He didn’t know it, but this was a somewhat normal stance for both of you. Either a hand on the shoulder or in the crooked of your elbow. Especially on his worst days. Now it was starting to grow heavier and heavier.
It's just Viktor. Good old reliable Viktor. You repeated and stole a glance at your present company, his always cold hand gently grasping your shoulder, his neck craned a bit to check the people around him, his golden eyes narrowed as he looked onto the crowd.
“You’re staring. “ he announced, his eyes turning to look down at you for a second and going back to scan the crowd. “Just wondering why you're standing here and not there.” You pointed to the backstage entrance, heavily guarded by two Enforcers. “Well, since I am here against my will, might as well stand wherever I feel like.” You snorted and saw him shrug. “Besides, I have seen and talked with these faces before. Many times. You are undoubtedly the most interesting person in the room.”
You blinked a couple of times, looking up at the man, who finally dropped his gaze to you. It takes him a moment to understand the words that came out. So much like Jayce sometimes. After a beat, he shrugged.
“Eh…it’s the truth. Do with it what you want.” His shoulders relaxed and he turned his face to the stage, and the curtains opened. You felt your cheeks redden involuntarily.
A podium stood in front of something covered with a sheet. You inhaled, held it, and exhaled. Mel began her speech and you mimicked Viktor’s action from before, your eyes darting from left to right, checking every face in the crowd, every enforcer. You spotted Vi, with her pink hair and bright red coat, although she wasn’t looking at the stage but at Caitlyn, who, much like you was scanning the crowd.
Mel’s melodic voice kept going and you kept scanning. Your focus shifted from the people to the glass house around you. It was a beautiful structure, glass and cast iron. A greenhouse of sorts, made for any type of celebration. The glass ceiling gave everyone a beautiful view of the night sky, not yet fully dark, some purple reminiscing from the sunset.
“I’ll never understand Piltover’s obsession with glass ceilings.” Viktor whispered as you were looking up, matching your own silent concern from before.
“People in glass houses, throwing rocks at people with glass ceilings.” You mumbled back, turning your head towards his, watching his golden orbs observing you with curiosity.
“Something like that, yes.”
You turned your head back to the stage where the statue of the three deceased councilors was displayed. Anytime now.
The beat of your heart was quickly ramping up, loud and rhythmic, only countered by your slow breathing. You became hyper-focused. Every single movement, sound, or feeling was exacerbated.
Clothes rustling, soft sniffles, feet shuffling on the ground. The thunderous ‘ba-dum’ of your heart in your ears, Viktor’s breathing behind you, his cane scraping the floor to find a more comfortable position, his hand on your shoulders.
Your breath quickened and you became aware of how many people were inside the glass house, how it had taken a single person on stage to make this crowd stomp their way out.
The ripping of clothes as people ran, the sound of glass breaking, the shards burning where they slashed anything soft, the sound of children crying, the last gasp someone took before dying.
Your eyes glazed over as your focus became panicked. You won’t be able to run out fast enough, Jayce would get Mel, Caitlyn would help Vi and you could easily grasp Viktor's arm and drag him out. But what about them, the others, the innocent people who were simply living? You couldn't save them all.
A cane scraped the ground again and something squeezed your shoulder. You looked at it. Purple sinewy fingertips, squeezing your shoulder, golden gears around his wrists.
“I need to go…” you managed to blurt out as the line between this reality and the other started to blur.
“Is everything ok?” Viktor’s soft voice sounded worried. But you heard the twisted metallic twang he had gotten after…ascending…adding a cruel ‘my friend’.
“I can’t breathe.” You choked, starting to walk backward into the protesting crowd.
You bumped into someone and whipped your head around to look back at the angry figure. The figure of an angry woman glitched into an imposing, familiar construct. And your body just stopped moving. You willed your feet to run and get as far from the enemy as fast as possible, but nothing. You tried to get your arms to punch the thing. But all you could do was blink at the mechanical deadly beauty.
“You’re not here. I’m not there.” You mumbled incoherently.
You felt a hand grab your elbow and pull you away from the creature and into the wall of shadows that were forming around you.
“Excuse me. Thank you.” You heard someone in front of you mumble as they dragged you along by the elbow. “Coming through. Thank you kindly, good sir.”
You let yourself be dragged, looking over your shoulder towards the angel you stood tall and bright, tilting its head.
“Oh no…” you whimpered. “I have you. Come on.”
Your breathing started to hitch at your throat, your face flushed, and your heart both felt like it was stopping and going faster.
The cool night air hit your face and you turned your face towards the night sky, your wide eyes losing sight of the robot. The hand on your elbow moved lower and was now holding your hand, gently pulling you along the sidewalk. A cold, pale, calloused hand with long fingers. Human. Viktor.
The sounds of your footsteps mixed with the gentle tap of Viktor’s cane had your mind finding perch in this reality again.
“Vik?” You squeaked and the scientist stopped to look at you, his eyes filled with concern. “Come. It’s a close walk to the Lab. It will be quiet at this time.”

I may not be a mortician or a doctor but I do know basic decay (based off writing!!! 😅) and I don't think anyone understands how NASTY HoW (2005) would actually be. Like, we are talking Louisiana heat on top of swamp like humidity and a town filled with corpses. We only got a tiny taste (ew) from the road kill pit in the beginning.
TRIGGER WARNING: Body horror, corpses, decay etc.
Let's ignore the whole face peeling thing of Wade's bc I'm not saying it couldn't happen but most likely once the numbing agent wears off it would be like someone with 1st and 2nd degree burns (Even extremely hot the first wax would cool once it hits your skin and act as a protective layer from harsher burns I highly doubt the wax would give 3rd degree or adhere to the skin completely) and the victim could move (painfully); cracking some of the wax seal and leave to get help or try to. So let's toss that out for realism. I mean, the wax museum made of actual wax was the most unrealistic of all (Where THE HELL did Trudy get that much wax? Damn yall were rich rich huh?) so eh we're just going with what realism we can here.
But a dead body:
1. It would only work if you had stilts or poles in the clothes (or skin...) bracing the body to stand. Sitting? As long as you stabalized the neck it could work.
2. The wax would preserve for maybe a week before the body starts to rot. Maybe a few days. Maybe a day. But since Vincent doesn't embalm? They'd rot like a normal body in a few days to weeks depending on weather. The corpses wouldn't last years or even months like in the movie (Then again...A building made of wax? In Louisiana? Yeah logic flew out the window but idc)
3. Eyes would rot first and unless Vincent is willing to scoop them out and replace them with glass eyes; you'd see a 'statue' with flies on the eyes, mouth, nose and the eyes looking milky.
And I feel like they hinted THEY DO do this eventually once the victim starts rotting bc:
^ That? Those are definitely glass or wax eyes bc in a fire the eyes melt first. So...Yeah, Vincent most likely is getting grosser than the movie suggested and replacing the victims eyes with fake ones.
4. The organs would rot and then the skin...But it has a protection of wax that wouldn't become 'fused to the skin' like the movie acts like with Wade. It would only act as a like...Shell. So if a corpse got knocked over? It wouldn't be this most likely. (Maybe certain corpses in the right conditions would be mummified especially in the winter)
5. Seepage would happen and it would be NASTY af. Like, Carly should've looked over and saw a 'statue' have a gross smell and something brown leaking from behind the Glass/Wax eye.
Most likely? Soup. It would be more like mushy decay and bones in that sludge and even if time went by that wax would just make that nastiness last longer. We're talking mushy soup like decay INSIDE the wax like a shell. Like you put liquid inside a hollow chocolate egg. It may last a bit but eventually that liquid will deteriorate the shell.
6. The Louisiana heat would slowly melt the wax. Melted wax + gravity = the body rot pooling downward. Aka...That movie theater? DISGUSTING. The smell should've hit Carly and Nick so hard they're gagging and puking while trying to be quiet and hide. Dripping heard over Bette Davis singing where the bodies sat in the seats. Pools of disgusting matter and melted flesh and wax. Flies EVERYWHERE. It would've been almost unbearable for Carly to sit next to a corpse sitting in its own melted decay and trying not to alert Bo (WHICH WOULD MAKE IT BETTER FOR ANXIETY)
7. Bugs. Flies would be all over that town. They loosely touched base on this with the cockroaches in the older wax corpse of the theater usher.
And IN TIME with enough bugs and the right conditions + stilts holding him in place that could've happened but...Imagine your looking at a statue. It smells bad but you can't help noticing the skin moving. One poke? Maggots. The flies and maggots would be unreal. We just had a dead wild baby bunny in 70 degree weather and went to bury it the next day and my mom had to SHAKE the maggots off and OUT of it. ONE DAY!....Now, imagine Ambrose. 90+ degrees and humidity and dead bodies of humans that attract a lot of flies that can still get in through the nose and ears and mouth if its propped open?
Now where am I going with this? HoW wasn't as visceral as it would be irl and I love Southern Gothic but they lowkey missed so many opportunities
We could've had:
- Flies. Just subtle cityfolk like Dalton being like, "Man, what is with all the flies and that smell? Damn it must be the road kill pit nearby from that guy. (Lester)." AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT COVER TOO. Like so perfect I don't EVEN BEGIN to understand why they didn't use Lester's road kill pit as an excuse for the town smelling bad or flies???? Instead, Lester just so happens to be a roadkill guy with carcass pit way outside of town and there's no plot for it.
- The Sinclair's are not just greedily collecting tourist to abuse and kill for fun or to fill an overflowing town. THEY NEED them. Because the corpses keep rotting and they need to keep the town going so they NEED to constantly lure tourist.
- Carly under that Priest and imagine the smell and she just slightly moves...Remember that weight we talked about? Imagine you poke a ballon too weak to hold a bunch of slop inside? Imagine the horror of her having to stay quiet when something is fucking dripping on her. I'd die. I'd have to just fist fight Bo right then and there out disgusted adrenaline. Eddie in IT 2017 where he gets puked on and is like 'I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!' in disgusted rage? That would be me fr.
- A maggot or bug coming out of a 'statues' eye or nose
- How vile the movie theater would be with all those bodies just collecting in the equivalent of a hot box because idk HOW they could generate and a/c an entire town 24/7. And what if a storm hits and electricity goes out? Bo and Vincent are probably rushing to fuel the generators bc they know more time w/o a/c = rot. Fast.
Like the script somewhat touched on like 'the sink was filled with food it smelled awful' blah blah and I GET they went more southern gothic than tcm hooror but honestly the only 'normal' corpse would've been Trudy in the casket because she's laying down untouched and Vincent probably adds wax and makeup constantly to preserve her and that feels symbolic. They might even keep A/C on in the Church (doubt it) just to preserve her and hell...Maybe she WAS embalmed and they stole her back? I mean...If she died, it couldn't have been offical or reported like Bo lied bc no State is gonna be like 'Oh you want your Mama's corpse? Well sure!'
So I doubt it but who knows. It's just obvious out of all the wax 'statues' she's by far the most preserved and would be and that feels symbolic.

Hey guys it's Joy! I'm alive, I've been pretty silent on my socials and skipped last month's devlog because I did nothing in April outside of managing teams and communicating in servers. Thanks to my good ol' friend burnout.
General Recap Luckily, May was night and day comparatively. I had an exceptionally productive month.
I shipped out more merch, and generally just kept up with development. I was able to get over my burnout in the first week of May and find a pretty decent work life balance again. My job is thankfully very stress free and easy, as well as part time, so I have plenty of time off to work on dev stuff. Just as long as I schedule it out properly.
Nothing especially noteworthy happened outside of specific dev cycles, so let's just get into that.
Criminally Yours
Let's start with Criminally Yours this time! Specifically the development of "Criminally Yours Part 2" aka "Criminally Mine" set to release August 1st 2025.
Criminally Yours Part 2 is nearly complete totalling at 53k words at the time of writing this, I have 3 ½ scenes left, I'm halfway through scene 15/18 and I estimate the final word count to be anywhere from 60-65k. Totalling for 6/6.5 hours of gameplay.
It's quite large. I originally only anticipated for it to be 40k at most, to be double the length of Part 1 which is 23k for reference.
It'll probably be 3 times the original length almost, but hey, what can you do? Friends of mine have joked that it's basically Part 2 and 3 at that length, and I can't disagree with that. With an extra love interest alone I knew it was going to be sizeable, but not like this.
However, I am extremely proud of it so far. I honestly expected it to be better than Part 1 just from the outline, but it has only gotten better and better as time has gone on and I think it's going to make a lot of fans happy.
Our VA's have started recording their lines, our artists have plenty of sketched CG's and finalizing of sprites left, programming is in the works, and everything is moving very smoothly! (Not to jinx anything)
I have our wonderful community of "Criminals" (Criminally Yours fanbase) for that! It's been so motivating for me to share my progress, and hear theories, and receiving messages telling me how much they loved the first part and how much more excited they are for the 2nd!
I just want to say, y'all are not even a little ready for what's in store, it truly is the emotional rollercoaster I planned for it to be and more. Buckle up, we've got 2 more months. (I'm sure they will fly by). When I've finished drafting I'll be posting an announcement on the "Criminally Yours" Tumblr which you can follow here.
Speaking of Tumblr! I'd like to plug the Skywrite Studios tumblr page, there is not a tumblr for Meant to Bee Studios. To be honest, Skywrite is my replacement for Meant to Bee, but since M2B has a large following, it'll be awhile before I can stick to only Skywrite.
Anyway follow Skywrite Studios Tumblr here.

The Prince's Keeper
Okay, I know it's been like 3 months of TPK is coming, it's coming guys I swear. But it really is. It's literally a finished game, the only thing missing is 2 finished CG's. We've had some setbacks in regards to our CG artist this time around. Luckily, we have remedied this and will have a release as soon as those CG's are finalized. I hope you still look forward to playing once it's out. Its something truly special and deserves attention. Unfortunately it fell into a bit of a dev hell.

My Sweet Fairy!
So unlike TPK. We've had a lot of luck with our artists and have made substantial progress, however, remember that burn out I'd mentioned earlier, well I was responsible for the last half of the script and completely dropped the ball. I had legit no motivation to work on the project or really anything at all. Even still, May I could have worked on it in time to get it done for Blossom Jam, however I have been hyper focused and stressed about Rectifier: In Bloom and Criminally Yours releases as they are commercial projects. Not free jam ones.
So I made a tough decision, we decided to roll development over to next year and to release for Blossom Jam 2026. It hurts me a little to have to, but it was just not the right time, and I don't want to spread myself too thin as it can harm the quality of all projects involved and harm myself which is something I've learned not to do if I can help it.
Next year will be here before we know it, and this way no team member who volunteered will be forced to crunch.
As my cofounder and best friend, Grey said. I'm not getting rid of the balls being juggled, just setting them to the side for when I can juggle them. (We love our silly analogies) but they're right. I'll happily pick up where we left off with fresh eyes and renewed spirit and produce the best project we can.
I hope you'll look forward to MSF! When it does eventually release, it's a super sweet romantic comedy with so much style and love put into it.

Starfallen: Strength
Strength's development like My Sweet Fairy! Is going very well, we have all sprites finished and finalized, and our OST. However, for the same reasons as before I had to roll this project over to next year as well, for next years Otome Jam.
I was very excited to release at least chapter 1/7 for the jam, but I think it's for the best to hold off so I can properly commission my artist for the project. I also would love to do an additional chapter for next year's release so 2/7.

Rectifier: In Bloom Update
And last, but certainly not least, especially in my heart. We have the Rectifier: In Bloom update, as some of you may recall. Rectifier: In Bloom was my project for Otome Jam 2024, and what a time it was. Despite everything, I am still very proud of what I accomplished with a team of 4.
However, it's clear from the current build (which you can find in the March devlog btw- only for Windows users though), what's clear from that build is that it's fundamentally flawed. Not only was the game made in RPG Maker MV meaning it lacks all the standard quality of life features and functionalities of a standard Renpy VN. It also was programmed by me, and lol it's not great. The routes are pretty good, however we had very little time for playtesting, and by little time I mean practically none. Art is stunning, though I wished I could've had more, soundtrack is very hodgepodge, some being original tracks with others being royalty free.
And don't get me started on the GUI or lack thereof and the abhorrent game page for Itch.
The whole thing felt like it was being held together by tape and child's glue.
This time around, I wanted to polish the entire experience and add what was missing before.
So this time, we have a brand new game, completely reprogrammed into Renpy with all the QOL features that come with it, as well as a few more. A stunning GUI, more CG art, a fully edited script, as well as brand new extra scenes for each of the 7 routes! Extra tracks, and so much more!
We are set to release the update here on itch June 30th 2025 in time for Otome Jam 2025.
I want to say that despite all the flaws the original build came with, so many players were so supportive and saw something to love in the project despite its hang ups. This time around, I hope there is less focus on what holds the game back, and instead focus on all the little things that came together to make it so wonderful.
I've said it before, but Rectifier is my favorite project I've ever done. It has my whole heart and has so much content more to come, In Bloom was a way to sell people on the greater universe while still getting a complete experience. I think we accomplished that last year, but I want to cement it for those who liked it, and bring on new fans.
Next year, I want to work on the main game, and In Bloom's success will help fund it.
The game will be commercial with 1 free route for the demo- Greer's, and 6 that will have to be paid for. The price will be $5.99 USD. However, you can donate $5 now to my Kofi now as a way to "preorder" the game. You'll get a key as soon as the game releases if you donate.
Thanks to all those that have donated so generously and bought one of our stunning keychains! (Mainly the Percy ones, but HEY lol) I am eternally grateful, I advise that even if you played the game last year you consider doing so again when it releases, I promise it'll be worth your time.

Thank you so much for reading and, even more so, for following and supporting my work! If you want to keep up with what we do, following Skywrite Studios on Itch.io) , Bluesky, and even me on Twitch are the best ways to do so!
We've got a lot more exciting things happening coming in the next 3 months, so please stay tuned! This time next month, Rectifier: In Bloom we available to purchase and play!

its been a week and a half since you last saw her when she drove you home from the match in her old busted truck. thoughts of her plagued your mind all week. you wondered if she was working. you wondered if she was out with friends. you wondered if she was thinking about you. she is but you don’t know that. you’re not aware she’s thinking of you also. thinking of the way the smell of strawberries stained her car after you left. thinking of the way you said you like it when she calls you sweetheart.
both of you wonder when the next time you’ll see each other is.
its a wednesday afternoon, you’re currently sitting on the couch with dina. she’s the only friend you have down here so far and its not weird that she’s dating your brother. she has come over a bunch, helping you shop, getting little things for your apartment, watching movies and of course, getting high. which is exactly what you’re doing right now. you both sat on your old lumpy couch and watched the iron man series that you had on dvd, not paying to much attention to the tv, but rather your conversion.
“so no luck still? you should just come work with me at the farm, i mean i love it- the horse shit not so much.” dina exclaimed.
“yeah its like no one is hiring, i may have to take you up on that, i still wanna keep looking though, maybe something will come along.” you told her.
“yeah avoid horse shit as long as you can, something will come along don’t worry!” she said trying to make you feel better knowing you’re stressed. but at the end of the day, you need something to fill your time besides thinking of the boxer that drove you home.
you guys just sat and talked then eventually as the credits rolled for the last movie, you got up and started to clean up the mess from the pizza you ordered earlier. after you went to the kitchen and put the plates in the sink, you grabbed the bottle of wine and two glasses and made your way back to dina still in the living room. you hold it up to her and with the look on her face, you knew she was thinking the same thing.
by the third bottle, it was 10pm and you’ve run out of weed and not much wine left but you both are feeling great, laughing and giggling like kids. its nice to have a friend you thought.
“what are you doing friday night?” she questioned.
you responded to her, “probably exactly what im doing right now” you both laughed.
“well there’s another match this weekend, me and jesse are going if you want to come along again, ellie will be there too.” she replied. you couldn’t hide the smile on your face when she said her name.
“woah! what’s with the smiling and the blushing…” she joked asking. you didn’t tell either of them what happened that night at the first match. from outside or inside, they assumed you both got an uber and you didn’t tell them any differently.
“nothing, i just thought she was nice thats all.” you said trying not make any signs of anything more.
“oh she is!,” dina started, “well maybe not at first but once you get to know her, we’ve been friends for years now,” she laughed and kept going, “she fights at the gym sometimes, but she works there too, its a good hang out space plus cheap drinks. plus she’s bringing us the restock.” she finished as she picked up her weed jar.
“oh you get it from her?” you inquired, thinking back to the faint smell of weed in her car when she drove you home.
“yeah she’s got good stuff and nice deals, ugh its great, always easier to get it from someone you know,” she ended. you thought about asking her if you could tell her to get you some to and for some other non-obvious reason but she beat you to it.
“ill send her your number and she’ll text you.” she said to you as she pulled out her phone and sent a message. a few moments later, her phone rang and she answered, it was jesse waiting outside for her so she gave you a hug and grabbed her stuff and you walked her to the door.
you locked it before you turned around to sit back down on the couch, grabbed the wine glass and poured the last bit in your cup, you were still drunk and definitely feeling it. you heard your phone buzz and you picked it up, answering the call, not paying attention, thinking it was dina but the voice surprised you.
hey sweetheart
you didn’t expect her to call so soon, you haven’t even given yourself a moment to think about what to say beforehand. you weren’t prepared for this. you feel yourself getting nervous over the girl you only met last week but you just cant help it. she’s been on your mind since you met her.
hi ellie
dina sent me your number i hope that’s okay
yes she said she was going to
well in that case, she said you needed to buy
yeah we managed to smoke up all her stash and i haven’t gotten any since i moved here, probably cause i didn’t know where to get it
well no worries, i’ve got everything you need sweetheart.
thank you ellie, you said smiling but she couldn’t see you through the phone, you wondered what she’d think if she saw how red your face was right now.
you can call me el sweetheart, no need to be so formal.
she laughed through the phone, and then asked if you were coming to the gym on friday with your brother and dina.
they invited me but i hadn’t thought about it yet, not wanting to sound too eager about the potential thought of seeing her on friday.
mhm- well you should, we’re just gonna have some drinks and chill so nothing crazy. but i will have the weed for you then if that peaks your interest.
bribing me with drugs?, you laugh into the phone and she laughs with you.
if that’s how you want to put it sweetheart, sure
you smiled into the phone, not even sure how to respond to that before becoming flustered, before you continued,
i guess we’ll just have to wait and see then…
yeah i guess we will… goodnight sweetheart.
that was the last thing she said before she hung up and you sat staring back at a black screen. thinking that now she has your number and you have hers.
it’s almost 11 now as you brush your teeth, throw on a t shirt and cuddle up in bed. falling asleep to the thoughts of how friday was going to go when you finally saw her again.

Billy's Choice - Part 2
[Story Collection] | [Part 1] [●] [Part 3]
The sun was beginning to set on Sunday, September 1st. Billy walked briskly down the sidewalk, with his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his hoodie as he tried to ignore the persistent queasiness swirling in his stomach. Eight weeks had passed since his day at the beach with Antonio, and the memories of their intimate moment in the car were still fresh in Billy’s mind. They hadn’t met since that day, but Antonio had invited him over for a relaxed night of video games and catching up, something that Billy never declined.
He had been feeling off for the past few days. It started with mild nausea that he initially brushed off as a simple stomach bug, but the symptoms gradually intensified. He was constantly fatigued, his energy levels dipping unexpectedly throughout the day. His appetite was all over the place; some days, he couldn’t stand the sight of food, while on others, he was ravenous beyond belief, craving the most unusual combinations. Additionally, his lower abdomen felt unusually bloated and tender, his jeans fitting a tad tighter than usual around his waist, which only added to his discomfort.
As he approached Antonio’s apartment building, Billy took a moment to catch his breath, pressing a hand lightly against his unsettled stomach. He hoped that a fun evening with his best friend would distract him from whatever was going on with his body. Billy entered the familiar lobby and took the elevator to Antonio’s floor. As he walked down the hallway, he could already feel a smile tugging at his lips in anticipation. Reaching Antonio’s door, he knocked twice and waited, hearing the muffled sounds of movement from inside.
When the door opened, Antonio welcomed Billy with his perfect smile, only wearing a pair of snug, dark gray short shorts that clung to his hips and thighs, accentuating his lean muscles and athletic look. The shorts ended mid-thigh, revealing his well-defined legs. Billy couldn’t help but notice the light dusting of hair that trailed down from Antonio’s abs and disappeared beneath the waistband. The sight made Billy gasp as he remembered what Antonio’s shorts were hiding in his bulge.
“Hey, Billy! Antonio exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine delight. He stepped forward, enveloping Billy in a tight, warm hug.
Billy returned the embrace, feeling a sense of comfort wash over him despite his earlier discomfort. “Hey, Antonio,” Billy replied, his voice slightly muffled against Antonio’s shoulder. “Good to see you.”
Antonio pulled back, his eyes narrowing slightly in concern as he took in Billy’s slightly pale complexion. “You alright, man? You look a little under the weather,” Antonio asked, his tone laced with genuine worry.
Billy shrugged, offering a small, tired smile as he stepped into the apartment, Antonio closing the door behind them. “Yeah, I’ve been feeling kind of off lately. Probably just a bug or something.”
Antonio followed him into the living room, gesturing for Billy to sit on the plush, comfortable couch. “Maybe something you ate earlier?”
Billy sighed, leaning back against the couch cushions. “Well, it started a few days ago. I’ve been feeling nauseous, especially in the mornings. Sometimes, it gets better during the day, but other times it lingers. I’ve also been super tired. I could sleep all day and still feel exhausted. And my appetite is all over the place. One minute, I’m starving, and the next, I can’t even think about food without feeling sick.”
Antonio listened carefully; his brow furrowed in concern. “That doesn’t sound like just a regular bug. Have you been to a doctor yet?”
Billy shook his head. “No, I figured I’d wait it out a bit and see if it gets better on its own. Plus, with classes starting up again, I’ve been pretty busy.”
“Maybe you should get it checked out, just to be safe,” Antonio said, smiling at Billy, who responded with a firm nod. “In the meantime, I have something that might take your mind off things.”
Billy raised an eyebrow, recognizing that playful tone all too well. “Oh no, what are you up to now?”
Antonio chuckled, leaning back and stretching his arms behind his head, his muscles flexing subtly with the movement. “How about a little rematch? Same stakes as last time.”
Billy groaned though he couldn’t suppress the grin forming on his lips. “Seriously? After what happened last time? You’re not going to make me wear another ridiculous speedo, are you?”
Antonio faked innocence, his grin widening. “Who, me? Would I do that?”
Billy laughed, shaking his head. “Yes, you would.”
Antonio leaned forward, his eyes dancing with amusement. “Come on, Billy! Think of it as a distraction from all the stuff you’re feeling. Plus, maybe you’ll win this time and get your revenge.”
Billy eyed him skeptically, but the idea of getting revenge was too tempting. “Alright, fine. But this time, I want to know what I’m getting into.”
Antonio wagged his finger playfully. “Nope. Just like last time, it’s a surprise.”
Billy hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright, but promise me it isn’t a speedo.”
“I promise it’s not a speedo,” Antonio exclaimed, jumping up from the couch and grabbing two controllers from the entertainment center. He tossed one to Billy, who caught it deftly despite his sluggishness.
As the game loaded up on the large flat-screen TV, Billy felt his stomach grumble loudly, reminding him of the persistent hunger he’d been feeling all day. Antonio glanced over, eyebrows raised.
“Hungry much?” He teased, though his tone was light.
Billy rubbed his stomach sheepishly. “You have no idea. I could eat a horse right now.”
Antonio laughed, getting up and heading towards the kitchen. “Well, lucky for you, I stocked up on snacks. Stay put; I’ll bring out the goods.”
Antonio returned moments later carrying an impressive array of snacks—potato chips, pretzels, cookies, sandwiches, and sodas. He set them down on the coffee table in front of Billy, who immediately reached for a handful of chips, popping them into his mouth. Antonio chuckled as he sat beside Billy on the couch, surprised by his friend’s hunger.
They dove into the first round, but it quickly became apparent that Billy’s focus was elsewhere. He couldn’t stop reaching for the snacks, his hunger seemingly insatiable. Every few seconds, he’d grab another handful, barely taking his eyes off the food as he tried to keep up with Antonio’s skilled gameplay.
Unsurprisingly, Antonio won the first match with ease. He shot Billy a teasing glance. “Looks like your mind’s more on the food than the game.”
Billy shrugged, unapologetic, as he munched on a cookie. “Can’t help it. I’m starving.”
They started the second round, but the pattern continued. Billy’s attention was split between the screen and the snacks. So, despite his best efforts, Antonio dominated the game once again. After the third round ended in another decisive victory for Antonio, Billy leaned back against the couch, his hands resting on his now satisfied and bloated stomach. He let out a contented sigh, though a part of him was slightly disappointed at losing so badly.
Antonio turned to him, a triumphant grin on his face. “Well, well, looks like I won again.”
Billy rolled his eyes good-naturedly. “Yeah, yeah. I blame the snacks. They were too distracting.”
“Excuses, excuses,” Antonio teased as he got up from the couch. “Wait right here. I have something for you.”
Billy watched as Antonio disappeared into his bedroom, returning moments later with a small box wrapped in bright red paper, identical to the one from their previous bet.
“Oh no,” Billy groaned, eyeing the box warily. “What did you get me this time?”
Antonio devilishly grinned as he handed the box over. “Only one way to find out.”
Billy took the box hesitantly, weighing it in his hands before carefully undoing the ribbon and peeling back the wrapping paper. His eyes widened in shock as he pulled out a tiny, vibrant red posing thong—the kind that bodybuilders wore on stage to showcase every muscle. There was barely any fabric to it—just a thin waistband and a small pouch in the front, with even thinner straps in the back.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Billy exclaimed, holding the minuscule garment between his fingers. The thin straps and minimal fabric left little to the imagination, and he couldn’t fathom how he was supposed to fit into it.
Antonio chuckled, his eyes dancing with amusement. “What? I think it suits you.”
Billy looked at him incredulously. “Suits me? This thing barely covers anything! There’s no way it’s going to fit over all this.” He gestured vaguely towards his hips and glutes, emphasizing his point, also looking at his big bulge, which would barely fit into the small pouch.
Antonio shrugged, unbothered. “A bet’s a bet, Billy. And besides, I promise you won’t have to wear it in public this time. It’s just for fun.”
Billy sighed, contemplating the absurdity of the situation. Part of him wanted to refuse outright, but another part—the part that enjoyed these playful antics with Antonio—found himself considering it. “Fine,” he relented after a moment, shaking his head with a small smile.
Antonio laughed, clapping his hands together. “Yay! Now, off you go. The bathroom awaits.”
Taking the tiny thong and steeling himself for the inevitable struggle, Billy went to the bathroom. Closing the door behind him, he took a deep breath and began to undress, folding his clothes neatly and setting them on the countertop. Standing there naked, he once again examined the thong, turning it over in his hands as he tried to figure out the best way to approach this challenge.
He carefully stepped into the thong, pulling it up slowly over his thighs. The fabric stretched taut almost immediately, the thin straps digging slightly into his skin as he worked to maneuver it upward. Billy encountered a significant obstacle as he tried to pull the waistband over his hips. His wide hips resisted the minimal give of the elastic, making it a strenuous effort to get the thong into position. Billy huffed in frustration, wiggling and adjusting his stance.
“Come on,” he muttered under his breath, gripping the straps firmly and giving another determined tug. The fabric strained but held, inching slowly over his hips until finally, with a final pull, it snapped into place around his waist. He carefully fit his big balls and large dick into the too-small pouch, groaning in discomfort.
Billy exhaled in relief, though his reprieve was short-lived as he took in his reflection. The thong was undeniably tiny, the bright red fabric contrasting sharply against his skin. At the back, the thin strap disappeared entirely between his ass cheeks. The front wasn’t much better; the pouch looked dangerously overstuffed, the material stretched to its limits and appearing as though it could give way at any moment. His bull balls were dangerously close to bursting out of the sides, and his dick pulled the waistband lower at the front, revealing its thick base.
A small, almost shy smile curled his lips as he turned slightly, observing himself from different angles. Billy couldn’t deny he liked how the thong fitted him. It wasn’t something he would wear in public, but it was perfect to show off his incredible ass and the impressive size of his dick and balls. He felt a certain confidence that came with wearing something so daring, and Billy found himself standing a little taller, his posture straightening as he admired the view.
Feeling nervous but confident, Billy gathered his discarded clothes and took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door. He walked back into the living room, his steps cautious as he felt the straps shift slightly with each movement.
Antonio was sprawled out on the couch but immediately sat up straight as Billy entered the room. His eyes widened, and for a moment, he seemed genuinely speechless, his gaze traveling slowly from Billy’s face down to his feet and back up again. “Wow,” Antonio finally breathed out, a slow grin spreading across his face. “You look incredible.”
Billy’s cheeks flushed a deep red as he tried to play it off with a casual shrug. “I feel ridiculous. This thing barely covers anything.”
Antonio stood up, walking over to get a closer look. He circled around Billy slowly, his eyes taking in every detail. “Ridiculous? I’d say impressive. Seriously, you’re pulling this off way better than I expected.”
Billy laughed nervously, his hands twitching at his sides as he resisted the urge to cover himself. “If by pulling it off, you mean barely containing everything, then sure.”
Antonio stood in front of him, his gaze dropping briefly to the strained fabric at the front before returning to meet Billy’s eyes. “Well, I got the smallest size they had, just to make it interesting. I’m surprised your things fit in there at all.”
Billy rolled his eyes, though there was a playful glint in his expression. “Of course, you did get the smallest size. Very funny.”
Antonio walked around Billy again, admiring the plump ass cheeks, fully exposed at the back. He reached gently out and adjusted one of the straps that had twisted slightly on Billy’s butt, his fingers brushing lightly against his skin. “There, that’s better.”
Billy shivered slightly at the touch, a warmth spreading through him that had nothing to do with embarrassment. “Thanks.”
Antonio smiled and approached from behind, wrapping his arms around Billy’s midsection and resting his head on his shoulder. “You know… I haven’t forgotten about our day at the beach,” he whispered, his bulge firmly pressed against Billy’s ass. “I can’t forget a single second of it.”
Billy softly moaned when he felt Antonio’s dick stirring to live against his ass. “I can’t forget it either,” he said as Antonio’s hands caressed his lower abdomen, focusing on the bloated area.
“You’re pretty bloated,” Antonio remarked softly, his fingers rubbing small, soothing circles over the tender area. “Does it hurt?”
Billy glanced down at Antonio’s hand, surprised by the gesture but finding it oddly comforting. “A little tender, but not too bad. It just feels full, I guess.”
Antonio’s brow slightly furrowed as he continued the gentle massage, his touch careful and attentive. “I really think you should see a doctor, Billy. To make sure everything’s okay.”
Billy sighed, leaning into the touch subconsciously. The gentle pressure seemed to ease some of the discomfort, and he felt a sense of calm wash over him. “Yeah, you’re probably right. I’ll make an appointment soon.”
Antonio smiled as his dick hardened against Billy’s ass. “Good. I only want to make sure you feel alright,” he said, his voice soft and playful. “And maybe there’s another way to help you feel better?” He moved his hands lower to rub Billy’s crotch, his fingers tracing over the shape of his soft dick, which immediately came to life.
Billy gasped, feeling his dick hardening and stretching the fabric of the overstuffed pouch even more. “Ho-How?” Billy asked, closing his eyes and enjoying Antonio’s touch.
“I think you know, and I think you want the same,” Antonio said, quickly pulling the front of his short shorts down to let his hard dick out and push it against Billy’s bare ass. “Would you mind if we repeat what we did in the car that day?”
Billy moaned, his body shivering due to Antonio’s touch. His big dick was getting harder by the second, and the thong’s fabric could barely handle it. “I wouldn’t mind. I-I need it, ugh,” he said, feeling his dick stretching the thong to the limit until the fabric finally gave up. With a loud snap, Billy’s dick burst out of the pouch, also revealing his bull balls and making him gasp.
Antonio smiled when he realized what had happened and slowly guided Billy to the couch as the thong fell to the ground. Antonio immediately removed his shorts, and Billy leaned over the couch, exposing his butt in full glory to a highly aroused Antonio, who didn’t hesitate to fit his dick into Billy’s hole. Both guys moaned loudly, enjoying the sensation more than the last time as Antonio pushed his whole dick into his best friend.
Antonio smiled, feeling Billy’s hole squirming in need around his dick. “Fuck! You feel even better than last time. Are you enjoying this as much as me?”
Billy grinned, letting his body adjust to Antonio’s dick. “Yes. I love it. Now, keep going! You made me wear the ridiculous thong; you better fuck me good in exchange,” Billy said as Antonio started thrusting hard, making the moans grow louder.
****
Billy woke up the next morning feeling worse than ever. The constant nausea, the relentless fatigue, the extreme hunger, and the strange bloating—it was all too much. He knew he couldn’t keep dismissing these symptoms. As he stood in front of his bathroom mirror, his hands instinctively went to his bloated abdomen, pressing lightly against the unfamiliar roundness. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he remembered the big load Antonio had pumped into him the night before, which only accentuated the strange bloating.
He had enjoyed his night with Antonio, but Billy knew something wasn’t right with his body and needed answers. Determined to get to the bottom of it, Billy made a doctor’s appointment, hoping it was just some strange bug or stress from the coming school year. However, deep down, a gnawing anxiety whispered that it might be something more.
As he dressed in a loose hoodie and sweatpants—choosing comfort over his usual fitted attire—Billy couldn’t shake the nervousness building inside him. The thought of Antonio briefly crossed his mind again, but Billy pushed it aside to focus on the immediate task at hand. After all, he needed to figure out what was wrong with him before he could worry about anything else. He didn’t know how the recent events would impact his friendship with Antonio, but at the moment, he only needed to get over the strange sickness.
The trip to the doctor’s office was a blur, his mind racing with possibilities. His mind was elsewhere, barely paying attention to his steps. His hands were again in the pockets of his hoodie, absentmindedly caressing his abdomen. When Billy was right outside the clinic, he was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice the tall figure walking toward him until they collided, nearly sending him to the ground. A strong hand grabbed his arm, steadying him before he could fall.
“Whoa, easy there!” A deep voice chuckled. Billy looked up, blinking in surprise at the familiar face smiling down at him, the face of his best friend from school.
“Callum?” Billy stammered, trying to reconcile the man in front of him with the memory of the lanky teenager he had known years ago. The man before him was anything but lanky now.
Callum Gibson had always been tall, but the years had filled him out in ways that were impossible to ignore. Standing at 6’4” and weighing in at a solid 250 pounds of pure muscle, Callum was the epitome of a fitness model. His dark hair was neatly trimmed, and his blue eyes sparkled with an easygoing charm that hadn’t changed a bit. He wore an oversized t-shirt that somehow still clung to his massive chest and shoulders, the fabric straining slightly across his bulging pectorals and large biceps. His jeans, though meant to be loose, hugged his thick legs, unable to hide the sheer size and strength that lay beneath.
“Billy? What a coincidence! It’s been so long,” Callum said with a grin, pulling Billy into a tight hug that made him feel like a child wrapped in the arms of a giant. “I’ve missed you, man!”
Billy couldn’t help but smile despite the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him. “Callum, wow, you’ve grown,” he said, trying to find the right words as Callum released him from the hug. “You’re huge!”
Callum laughed, a deep, resonant sound. “Yeah, I guess I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard. But look at you!” He stepped back, his eyes sweeping over Billy with genuine admiration. “You’re looking great too. Butt is as big as always. Damn, man!” Callum winked at Billy, remembering the old times when Callum used to tease Billy about his ass.
Billy blushed, his hand instinctively moving to his hips. “Thanks, I guess,” he mumbled, feeling a bit self-conscious under Callum’s gaze. But there was no denying that Callum’s compliment had an effect on him. For a moment, it was as if the discomfort of the last few days melted away, leaving only the simple pleasure of reconnecting with an old friend.
“What are you doing here?” Billy asked, eager to change the subject.
“Just moved into town a few days ago,” Callum explained. “I’ve been studying abroad, but now I’m back for good. I was getting checked by a doctor. He said I’m perfectly healthy,” Callum said, lifting one arm to flex his big bicep, emphasizing his excellent conditioning.
“Oh, I’m arriving for a schedule,” Billy said, remembering why he was there. “I’ve been a bit sick, so I came to make sure it’s only a bug,” he added, looking down at his abdomen.
“I’m sure you’re perfectly healthy. You look as great as when we played soccer in school,” Callum said, smiling at Billy, who gasped as he admired his friend’s perfect look. “Maybe… What if I wait for you? I’d love to have a coffee or juice and catch up. What do you say?”
Billy hesitated, his mind still reeling due to his sickness. But Callum’s infectious enthusiasm was hard to resist, so he nodded. “Sure, why not? If you don’t mind waiting for me, I’ll gladly join,” he smiled.
As Callum walked with him into the clinic, Billy couldn’t help but admire his friend’s perfect looks. The strong jawline, the piercing blue eyes, the way his muscles bulged beneath his t-shirt—it was hard not to notice. And for the first time, Billy observed Callum in a new light. Maybe it was the recent emotional rollercoaster or the comfort of reconnecting with someone he trusted. But Billy felt a warmth spreading through him as he stared at Callum, and the memories of his encounters with Antonio slowly faded.

a night to remember
masterlist
(title is indeed a laufey ref)
pairing: zamboni operator!san x figure skater! fem!reader
prerequisites/warnings: cursing, reader overworking, friends to lovers, me horribly naming different ice skating tricks..
a/n: I had this draft sitting here for a good month (in that time I released killin it, and like 3 chapters of nouvelle vague.. sorry san), inspired when I saw someone cleaning with the zamboni and someone was holding onto it on the side so they were like riding the zamboni together ykyk (ty for my friend for giving this idea) also this is 100% inspired by that one scene from Yuri on ice ifkyk
[2.04k words]
1st person pov (y/n)
the clock strikes 12. all my friends were long gone at this point. double axel, toe jump, salchow. I didn't even need my music at this point I had memorized my entire number in my head. just a few more times till I can go hom- "are you almost done?" I hear a voice that shakes me from my thoughts as I pause my skating.
"what?" I ask, taking my headphones out of my ears. "I said, are you almost done? I can't go home till the ice gets cleaned." the voice belonged to the zamboni operator, san? I think his name was? "oh yeah i'll be done in a minute" I say before skating around a bit more and reluctantly getting off the ice. I sit on the bench, taking my skates off, wiping the ice off of them and covering them before putting them back in my skate bag.
"why're you still here anyway? its way past 12" san asks going over to turn the zamboni on. "competitions in a few months and my numbers still.. missing something? I don't know" I reply, now finished packing up my bag. "sorry for keeping you waiting. goodnight san." and with that, I left the rink before exiting the building to the parking lot and getting on my bus.
3rd person pov
san wondered why y/n was freaking out when it seemed like she had so much time but he paid no mind. he cleaned the ice like usual, rounding the zamboni all the way around the ice before parking it and heading home himself. this cycle repeated the next few weeks. she would stay till almost midnight but san didn't mind, he watched her do the same routine ten times over, even enjoyed watching it to. her expression turn into a pout whenever she messed up or forgot something.
y/n noticed san's glances as she skated gracefully along the ice, so much so.. that she was too distracted and she slipped on a crack in the ice and fell over. "fuck" she muttered brushing the ice off her knees. "you okay?" san shouts over the glass covering the rink, y/n giving a thumbs up in response.
after the first week, san realized y/n was going home without getting something to eat and started bringing her little snacks to eat before her multi hour long skate sessions. it started with little snacks like a granola bar or a bag of chips, but it turned into full out meals or the two would grab food before she started her practice.
they got to know each other, san finding out y/n had been ice skating ever since she was a kid. y/n finding out san worked there because his dad was the owner of the rink. the two got close.. really close. to the point where they weren't sure what the two were anymore. y/n was currently in san's apartment laying on his lap on the couch as the two watched their favorite show together.
y/n was back on the ice when monday rolled around. she skated around her body moving before she even had to think. though she seemed to be having a bit of a hard time at practice today, stumbling onto herself. the lack of sleep seeming to having caught up to her.
she was getting yelled at left and right and looked like she was about to break. her instructor had her take a break and she stepped off the ice. she has her head down only poking it up when she senses san presence in front of her. she looks up at him and before either of them say anything san pulls her into a hug to which y/n breaks down in his arms.
she sobs into his shirt for a while before muttering a quiet, "I suck" into his chest. "you don't suck" san whispers back. "I do.. I cant get it right." she sniffles. "y/n look at me" san tells her looking down to meet her gaze as she lifts her head up. "you're so good at what you do. you know that right? even when you were just first learning your routine you'd work on it night after night and wouldn't leave till you perfected it. you can do it you just haven't gotten the rest you need.. which we both know is the main reason. but you can do it so don't tell me you suck because we both know you don't" san finishes.
"okay?" he raises an eyebrow at her. "okay" she says. "thanks san" she says hugging him again. "now go on show me your.. what's it called.. your triple axel." he smiles. she giggles before heading back on the ice. her instructor could sense something changed during her break and turned on her music. she skates around letting herself take in the music she had started getting sick of and instead relaxes herself as she skates doing her routine flawlessly.
she looks at san who gives her a smile and thumbs up in approval as she skates off and packs her stuff up. "our show at your place again? ill buy dinner" she asks as san revs up the zamboni. "yeah of course" he says. "wanna go for a ride?" he offers. "how?" she asks puzzled. "hang on tight" he says as she grabs onto the handle of the zamboni as san starts it up.
"woah" y/n exclaims in surprise as the two circle the ice rink. she sees the marks from the figure 8's she drew in the ice, the lines of chalk she drew to skate in a circle. she watches the marks practically vanish as san goes over them with the zamboni. after he finished cleaning he helped her off the machine before the two head to his place to watch their show. y/n falls asleep there as she usually did.
y/n was having another late night practice session as san watched from the benches. "so do you get to skate for free here?" y/n asks as she skates around. "technically yeah but um.." san pauses. "I don't know how to skate" he admits sheepishly. "no way really?" y/n says in surprise stopping right by the little doorway leading out to the rink.
"my dad gets me skates for Christmas every other year or so but I've never gotten around to using them." he continues. "do you want to learn?" y/n asks. "I think im gonna fall and bump my head" san tries to get out of it but the next thing he knew he was going circles around the ice clinging onto y/n for dear life since she didn't let him use the wall.
"y/n we're skating way too fast" he squeaks but y/n just giggles as they go towards the middle. she lets go of him for a second and he freezes in place as she does a figure 8 on the ice. she looked so elegant and ethereal. she smiles and heads back to him. "try skating to me" she says skating backwards no more than a couple feet away from him.
san shakes his head "im gonna fall" he pouts. "you will if you keep that mindset" y/n scoffs. "I won't let you fall san skate to me" she says. he slowly moves his feet more walking than skating but y/n didn't mind as he waddled his way over to her. "you got it!" y/n exclaims as he grasps her hand again. "okay that's enough for today" san frowns and y/n nods in agreement bringing them to the entrance. "did you have fun at least?" she asks cleaning her skates. he hums in reply. "guess so"
it was officially 2 days till competition day, y/n freaking out was a understatement. "y/n you're pacing so much you might burn off the carpet" san chuckles nervously as she paced around his apartment. "sorry i'm nervous as hell" y/n admits. "y/n you're gonna do great" he smiles. "I keep fucking up my triple axel.. what if I fall on the ice in front of everyone?" she says in almost fear. "or.. what if you do so good you get a standing ovation?" san counters. "we both know that's not happening" she sighs. "you never know" he smiles.
finally.. finally, finally it was competition day. y/n changes into her costume and heads out and meets up with san. his eyes widen as he sees her costume. it was an icy white with a flowy skirt, rhinestones and glitter along the skirts edge and her sleeves. "wow you look incredible" san says his jaw practically on the floor. "thank you" she says, nervousness clear in her voice as it shook a bit as she replied. "you're going to do great y/n" san reassures her. "hope you're right"
y/n's name booms through the loudspeakers and y/n walks to the rink stepping on it carefully. the music she had been blasting in her ears for months played almost like a bittersweet reminder to all the work she had put into this piece. she skates around, salchow, upright spin, axel, double axel, lutz jump. she hears her music come to an end as she skates to the center of the rink before she lets herself take a breathe so much had happened in the span of a few months. she had gotten praised, yelled at, she met san.. oh san he changed her life for sure. there wasn't time to think about him now though. she takes a moment before clearing her head completely.
without a second thought she jumps to do her final move. the triple axel she worked her ass off perfecting. the scolding of her instructor runs through her ears but its quickly replaced by san's reassurance. within an instant she goes to do her triple axel almost bracing for impact assuming she’d fall but.. no she didn't. she landed perfectly.
before she knew it, it was over. there wasn't any reaction for a moment but suddenly she hears a cheer, she looks to the side to see san practically jumping out of his seat on the sideline. his cheers are followed by clapping from the audience. it was no standing ovation but y/n didnt need one to feel achieved.
she takes a bow practically bolting off as san was waiting for her his arms wide open. she practically jumps off the ice into his arms as they almost fall backwards but san holds them both flat on the ground. it was like the hug he gave her months ago when she sobbed in his arms but this one was different. she releases herself from the hug still in his arms. they look at each other before anyone could say a word she kisses him. without a second thought she presses her lips right onto his. he gasps in surprise at first but he recovers quickly kissing her right back. they finally pull away from the kiss as san slowly brings her down to the ground. "you did it" he exclaims excitedly. "I knew you could do it" he cheers.
the two grip each other's hands as the places are announced. from runner ups to third place, second place, and finally.. "a night to remember by y/n l/n!" the announcer says and san and y/n jump for joy. "holy shit i won" y/n says in almost disbelief. "of course you won" san smiles lifting her up in his arms again spinning her in circles.
the rink clears out and san goes to clean the ice. "victory lap?" he asks giggling as y/n nods with a big smile stepping onto the zamboni's edge. they talk as san cleans the ice going over the cracks and bumps made by all the skaters on the ice that day. he finishes cleaning helping y/n down as he parks it.
y/n walks out with her trophy in one hand and grips san's hand in the other one. they walk to san's car and he opens the door and helps her in before stepping into the drivers seat. "our show at my place?" he asks starting up the car. "I thought you'd never ask" she smiles.

a/n: holiday fic #2 and william fic # 3 in the last few weeks 😭 this fic was wholly inspired by his commercial because i couldn’t stop imagining his difficulty putting UP the lights it that’s how he reacted to taking them down 😂 i know the fic takes place in november and is getting posted in december but fuck it we ball. anyway, i hope you enjoy!!!
word count: 2.4k
tw: dirty talk, innuendo
summary: it’s only november, but you insist on taking advantage of william’s presence by having him help put up the outside lights
Toronto weather can be unpredictable, which is why you’re fully taking advantage of the warm front that’s gracing the area to start putting up the outside Christmas decorations.
Yes, it’s only November 1st, but it could snow literally next weekend and then you’d be shit out of luck.
Plus, William is off for the next two days, minus practice, so you have to take advantage of the extra pair of hands.
“Älskling,” William murmurs, hands on your waist and lips on your neck, “we could do something more fun than hanging lights.”
You lean back against his chest, your fingers working to unknot a string of lights. His hips work lazily against yours, the bulge of his cock obvious against your ass. Especially when he pulls you close and holds you firmly in place to grind against your ass.
“Mmm,” you hum, shivers running down your spine with each rasp of his beard against your skin. “We can do that later. I want the lights up before the weather starts to suck.”
William’s mouth turns up in a smirk against your neck and his fingers dip under the waistband of your jeans. “How about we skip the lights and I suck on your clit until you see stars instead?” He huffs a laugh against your skin, ruffling your hair, and nips a little mark on your neck.
Your nipples pebble tightly and you suck in a shaky breath through your teeth. William’s words combined with the steady, rocking pressure of his cock against your ass are overwhelming. Abandoning the lights and with a more steady voice than you thought you were capable of, you turn in William’s arms so your ass is leaning against the counter and you can look into his eyes to say, “if you help me with the outside decorations, I’ll suck your dick until you beg for mercy.”
William’s throat bobs as he swallows, his blue eyes turning dark. He whines a little, pulling you close and burying his face in your hair. “You drive a hard bargain, älskling,” he grunts. With one final kiss below your ear, William pulls away and smirks at you, “hand me the lights.”
“I knew you’d see it my way,” you chirp, pushing the bundle of lights into his arms with a bright smile.
Your boyfriend laughs and mutters, “only for you,” before wandering off to find his boots and a jacket.
Maybe buying a house in the beginning of the season wasn’t the smartest idea, since you’d been left on your own to unpack the contents of two apartments and decorate, but now that you’re settled in, it’s nice to have the room. Pablo and Bansky love the yard and running around the open concept first floor. William’s had fun christening the house by having sex with you on every available surface.
Besides the sex, your favorite part of the new house is the wrap around porch with its room for oversized outdoor couches and armchairs - the perfect place to curl up on a gorgeous Toronto fall day with a mug of coffee and people watch.
You’re beyond excited to get the outside of the house decorated for the holidays. You have big plans that are likely bordering on delusions of grandeur, but you’ll deal with that if and when it comes.
Right now, you’re focusing on wrapping the extra long fake pine garland you’d bought to wrap around the porch railing with lights. You settle everything on the floor and drop into a cross-legged position to twist the lights and garland together. Pablo pads over with a stuffed dragon in his mouth and settles at your side, one paw on your thigh.
“Hi, buddy,” you murmur, scratching at his ears. “Where’s your brother?”
“Fuck, Banksy, no!” William’s shout carries through the screen door and you press your lips together to smother a laugh. Found him.
There’s half a dozen things the other dog could’ve gotten into, you just hope neither he nor William is hurt. You can hear a bark and William laughing which is probably a sign that everything is fine out there, so you return to your work on the lights and garland.
“You picked the better decorations to help with, Pablo,” you laugh, stroking the dog’s soft fur for a few minutes before returning to twisting the lights and garland back together. Pablo yawns and chews at his toy, clearly agreeing with you.
It doesn’t take too long for you to get the dozens of feet of garland ready to be hung. The faux greenery coils across the floor and Pablo’s batting at it with his paws, yipping excitedly. Whenever you try and tug it away, he lunges for it, totally all-in on this new fun game.
“Okay, cool it,” you sigh, tugging at his collar to get him to disengage with the garland. “William!” You shout for him through the door, needing him to come and help you get the garland outside.
“Little busy!” He shouts back, followed by a string of curses. “Can you whistle for Banksy? He’s right up my ass and it’s making this harder.”
You whistle for the other dog, calling his name and clapping until he comes trotting into the house with a delighted little bark. You drop to your knees and scratch his head too, cooing, “hi there baby, were you driving Daddy crazy outside?”
“These lights are driving Daddy crazy,” William shouts on a laugh.
“Don’t refer to yourself as Daddy,” you reply. “It’s weird.”
William’s head appears at the screen door, a shit eating grin splitting his face. “That’s not what you were saying the other night,” he reminds you as heat rises in your chest and cheeks. “I think I remember the exact opposite coming out of that mouth of yours.”
“I was delusional,” you cross your arms. “I had no idea what I was saying. Come take this garland.”
He comes inside, grabbing the garland off the floor, saying, “want me to remind you? Let’s see, there was ‘fuck, harder, Daddy’ and ‘come inside me, Daddy.’ Not to mention all of the pretty noises you were making.”
Arousal pools low in your belly, slicking your underwear. Your clit twitches and you cough to hide your sharp intake of breath. One of the dogs licks at your ankle, but you’re laser focused on William and the tip of his tongue darting out to wet his lower lip.
Smirking, he continues, “does that jog your memory, älskling? Or do you need a more hands-on reminder?”
He takes a step towards you and accidentally steps on a piece of the garland, fake pine needles crunching under his boot and reminding you what your plan for the day had been. You shake your head and narrow your eyes at him, “no way! You’re trying to distract me so you don’t have to help decorate.”
“Guilty,” William laughs, blue eyes crinkling at the corners. He darts forward and presses a chaste kiss to the corner of your mouth. “Is it working?”
Yes.
“No,” you murmur. “I want the house decorated and then we can do whatever you want after that. Otherwise, I’m going to have to get up on the ladder during the week.”
You poke your lower lip out at him in a pout and William chuckles. With his free hand, he reaches out and thumbs your lower lip, murmuring, “such a bossy little thing, aren’t you?”
“Mhm,” you hum cheerfully, a smug little smile on your face. William kisses your puckered lips and gathers up the garland.
“At your command, my little brat,” he teases, sweeping out of the house with the garland and two dogs trailing after him.
“Thank you, karastë,” you shout after him, giggling.
You give up on any pretense of helping William with the outside decorations, instead heading for the kitchen to make cookies as a reward for him when he comes back inside. You experiment with a new to you recipe for oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips since it feels festive. While the mixer works, you dance absently at the counter to the constant stream of ABBA music playing in your head.
Your two favorite things to come out of Sweden are definitely the ‘70s band and the man outside hanging lights.
Once you pop the trays in the ovens, you decide to check in on William and see how everything is going.
“Oh!” You yelp, nearly stepping on your boyfriend. “What are you doing?”
He’s laid out on his stomach on the porch, head buried in his arms, lights tangled around his legs, and the dogs nowhere to be found. He groans and rolls onto his back to look up at you.
“I quit, I can’t do this, älskling,” he complains, kicking at the lights around his legs.
You cover your mouth to muffle a laugh. Taking a look around the porch, it does seem like William’s been defeated by the lights. The garland is on the porch railing, crookedly hanging off. The lights are uneven where they’re actually attached to the house and hanging off in most areas.
Squatting down next to him, you brush your hand through William’s hair, frowning sympathetically. “Maybe your talents don’t extend to outdoor decorating,” you murmur.
“The stupid shits don’t stay where they’re supposed to,” he grumbles. “I don’t care what it costs, pay someone to do it. Please.”
William pushes himself into a sitting position and tosses the lights off to the side, shaking his head and muttering to himself. You’ve never seen him this frazzled about something. Usually he’s calm, cool, and collected.
“I think you’ve earned the cookies I made,” you comment, standing up and stepping into his side. William wraps an arm around your shoulder and you nuzzle your nose against the flannel of his shirt.
“I’d rather the blow job,” William replies cheekily, yelping a laugh and jumping away from you when you pinch his side. “Ow, älskling, you promised!”
“Only if you hung the lights,” you gesture behind you at the carnage as you step back inside. “The quality of that job only gets you a dry hand job at best!”
“I’ll take it,” William deadpans, holding his expression for a second before bursting into laughter. It’s contagious and you start giggling too.
Still laughing, you lean your arms on the counter and shake your head. “You’re definitely not that desperate,” you murmur. But still, you curl your fingers loosely and give the air a few pumps, miming a hand job. “I could use some practice though, it’s been a minute since I made you fall apart with just my hands.”
William smirks at you and leans in across the counter. He raises an eyebrow and tracks the movement of your hand. “You know I’m not going to say no, love. You want to get those hands on me, you just have to ask,” he teases.
“Oh,” you drag the syllable out, “in that case…”
You step around the counter and into William’s space, your palms flat on his chest. “William,” you purr, smiling sweetly.
He hums, bringing his hands up to wrap around your wrists. He lifts each hand to his mouth, kissing your palms.
“Can I put…” you say slowly, “one of those giant Snoopy inflatables on the lawn?”
It takes a minute for your words to sink in and by the time it clicks in William’s brain, you’re laughing and dancing away from him.
“Hey!” He shouts your name on a laugh and gives chase, making you shriek every time he gets close. “Dirty trick, you little tease!”
William chases you into the living room and tumbles over the couch to catch you, pulling you flush against his chest, the both of you breathing hard. You’re laughing, gasping for air, and wriggling against him.
“Stop that,” he laughs, biting at your earlobe. “You, my love, have been a brat all day. It’s time for a little punishment.”
You can feel the bulge of his cock against your hip and your stomach flips with excitement. “What do you have in mind?” You ask, breathless with arousal.
“I’ve got a few ideas,” his voice is a low rumble, hands roaming over your stomach and breasts. “Starting with those lights outside.”
William captures both of your wrists in one big hand and holds them against your stomach. “Can’t have you moving when you’re getting a spanking,” he murmurs, kissing behind your ear.
Fresh heat pools in your stomach and your underwear are getting uncomfortably wet. You grind your ass back into William’s groin and he grunts, thrusting his hips forward.
Even just the thought of William tying you up has you creeping towards the edge, combined with the hard heat of his body at your back, you’re not sure you’ll last too long once he gets his hands on you.
“William,” you whimper, heat jackhammering in your chest with each press of his cock against the seam of your ass.
Any answer is drowned out by the sudden piercing shrill of the smoke alarm.
Acrid smoke hits your nose next.
You startle, realization that the cookies are burning like cold water to your system. You jump away from William, shouting about the cookies and grabbing an oven mitt to take the charred dough out of the oven.
William has the alarm turned off just as you’re tossing the ruined cookies in the trash.
You both stand in the kitchen, staring at each other in the sudden silence for a few heartbeats before bursting into laughter again. It’s that kind of crazed laughter that doesn’t stop, intensifying every time you look up and lock eyes with William.
“Oh my god,” you gasp, clutching your stomach. “Literally nothing has gone right today.”
You feel lightheaded from all the laughing, the faint haze of smoke still in the air.
William clears his throat and chuckles again. “How about we take the dogs and go out for dinner?” His eyes twinkle. “Wouldn’t want to risk burning down the house again.”
“I think that’s the best idea all day,” you agree, still laughing even as you gather up the dogs and load them into the car.
Later, while you’re eating dinner, you point out the lights that are strung up around the restaurant. With a cheeky smile, you comment, “maybe we should ask them who hung their lights? They did a good job.”
William just rolls his eyes at you and tosses a piece of bread in your direction.
Two days later, with William out of town for a game, you come back from work to find the entire outside of the house decorated and lit up. There’s even a Snoopy inflatable on the lawn.
Tears fill your eyes and your phone vibrates in your hand. You look down to see William’s text.
‘surprise, älskling! i love you, even if i never got that hand job 😂❤️🔥’

It has been a hot minute since I have GMed, let alone done a kink module. So, to get my GMing muscles back in the game, between now and when I do the Witchlight Carnival, I will be doing two popular D&D dungeons, but with a kinky twist: The Sunless Citadel (1st level, more traditional dungeon) and White Plume Mountain (8th level, fun house dungeon).
Both adventures will take anywhere from 3-5 sessions to complete.
Kinks include: inflation, blueberry inflation, weight gain, feedism, tf.
Players: 4-6 (excluding GM)
Tentative start: June or July, then July or August. If people have a preference between the two, then we'll start with that one. If not, then we'll start with White Plume Mountain.
If you have any questions or wish to join, please DM me.
Here are the adventure synopses:
The Sunless Citadel (1st Level)
Long ago, a great fortress built by a cult of the dragon Ashardalon sank into the earth in a forgotten cataclysm. Its ruins became known as the Sunless Citadel, and over the centuries numerous creatures made this place their home.
Twelve years ago, the druid Belak the Outcast discovered the Twilight Grove in the citadels depths. There he found the Gulthias Tree, grown from a wooden stake once used to slay an ancient vampire, and from which sprouts supernatural fruit known to cure any disease.
One month ago, four adventurers from the nearby town of Oakhurst ventured into the Sunken Citadel searching for the origin of the magical fruit. They never returned. It is up to you now, to find what is lost.
White Plume Mountain (8th Level)
White Plume Mountain has always been a subject of superstitious awe to the neighboring villagers. People still travel many miles to gaze upon this natural wonder, though few will approach it closely, as it is reputed to be the haunt of various demons and devils. The occasional disappearance of those who stray too close to the Plume reinforces this belief.
Thirteen hundred years ago, the wizard Keraptis was searching for a suitable haven where he could indulge his eccentricities without fear of interference. He visited White Plume Mountain, going closer than most dared to, and discovered the system of old lava-tubes that riddle the cone and the underlying strata. With a little alteration, he thought, these would be perfect for his purposes. The area already had a bad reputation, and he could think of a few ways to make it worse. So he disappeared below White Plume Mountain and vanished from the knowledge of the surface world.
Today, the once-feared name of Keraptis is not widely known even among learned scholars. Or it was not widely known, that is, until several weeks ago, when three highly valued magic weapons named Wave, Whelm, and Blackrazor disappeared from the vaults of their owners. Rewards were posted, servants hanged, even the sanctuary of the thieves' guild was violated in the frantic search for the priceless arms, but not even a single clue was turned up until the weapons' former owners each received a copy of the following note:
Search ye far or search ye near
You'll find no trace of the three
Unless you follow instructions clear
For the weapons abide with me.
North past forest, farm and furrow
You must go to the feathered mound
Then down away from the sun you'll burrow
Forget life, forget light, forget sound.
To rescue Wave, you must do battle
With the Beast in the Boiling Bubble
Crost cavern vast, where chain-links rattle
Lies Whelm, past water-spouts double.
Blackrazor yet remains to be won
Underneath inverted ziggurat.
That garnered, think not that you're done
For now you'll find you are caught
I care not, former owners brave
What heroes you seek to hire.
Though mighty, I'll make each one my slave
Or send him to the fire.
All the notes were signed with the symbol of Keraptis.
White Plume Mountain has tentatively been identified as the "feathered mound" of the poem. The former owners of Wave, Whelm, and Blackrazor are outfitting a group of intrepid heroes to take up the challenge. If the adventurers can rescue the weapons from this false Keraptis (for who can believe it is really the magician of legend, after thirteen hundred years?), the wealthy collectors have promised to grant them whatever they desire, if it is within their power to do so.

A Decade Of Doom!
I started this blog ten years ago to compile the growing evidence that our planet would not longer be able to sustain human life by 2050, thanks to our continued, capitalist-fueled efforts to destroy all the systems we rely upon to sustain life. The first thing I put up here was this essay, on February 20, 2014. Now, a decade later, I thought it might be "fun" to look at what's changed: 1) Earth Overshoot Day

In 2014, "Earth Overshoot Day" (the day that humanity collectively consumes more resources from nature than it can regenerate over a year) was August 19th. Now, in 2024, Earth Overshoot Day is August 1st, 2.5 weeks earlier. At this rate and assuming things don't accelerate (even though they are likely to), Earth Overshoot Day will be around June 17th by 2050. 2) Biocapacity Biocapacity is the amount of resources contained on the planet required available to sustain life, measured by area. In 2014, I calculated that the planet had a biocapacity of 1.7 hectares per person. By dividing the total available biocapacity today in 2024 with the current global population as I did then, it now appears that there are just 1.5 hectares of planetary resources left per person to extract all the materials needed to sustain life, as well as all the area available to dispose of waste. That's a 12% loss over ten years. At that rate, we can expect to lose another 30% of biocapacity by 2050, going down to just 1.05 hectares per person by then, and that's assuming that the rate of biocapacity loss does not accelerate further and that the global population suddenly stops increasing after a run of non-stop increases spanning five centuries. Oh, also a reminder that the average human requires 2.7 hectares of land to sustain its current consumption habits/levels. So. 3) Individual Conservation To illustrate the futility of individual conservation at this point in the apocalypse, let me give you an example: If you were: a fully-vegan localvore living in a one-bedroom apartment with nine other people and using 100% renewably-generated electricity; who did not ever use motorized transportation of any kind or buy new clothing, furnishings, electronics, books, magazines, or newspapers and recycled all the waste you generated that was recyclable, you'd only require 1.4 hectares of biocapacity to sustain yourself. That is close to the kind of lifestyle extremism it would take to live sustainably. Deviate from that level of stoicism even slightly (say by living in a two-bedroom apartment with three other people instead of a one-bedroom apartment with nine other people and taking a single, four-hour roundtrip flight, once a year) and you're now consuming 1.6 hectares of biocapacity, which means you're using more resources than the world has available for you if everything was divided evenly among everybody. Of course, biocapacity, like all resources, are not divvied up evenly among everybody, which is why there are currently 114 different armed conflicts happening worldwide - the highest number of armed conflicts since 1946. 2023 was the most violent year in the last three decades. 4) Other Signs Of The End Times In my 2014 essay, I referenced the work of geologist Dr. Evan Fraser, who studies civilization collapse. In his book Empires of Food, Dr. Fraser noted common signs of a civilization about to collapse, which began to appear about two decades before it all goes completely to hell. Those signs were: -a rapidly-increasing and rapidly-urbanizing population We've added 700 million people to the planet since I began this blog in 2014. And where is everyone moving to?

-farmers increasingly specializing in just a small number of crops " "As farm ecosystems have been simplified, so too are the organisms that populate the farm. A farm that specializes in a limited number of crops in short rotations does not, for example, look for plant varieties that do well in more complex rotations with intercropping. A beef feedlot operation wants breeds that gain weight quickly on grain diets and does not want cattle breeds that digest well pasture grasses and thrive in all year outdoor environments on the range." The result? Recent estimates put the loss of global food diversity over the last 100 years at 75%. Over the 300,000 species of edible plants that exist, humans only consume about 200 of them in notable quantities, with 90% of crop plants not being grown commercially. -endemic soil erosion Climate change and the need to raise more crops have combined to increase the rate of agricultural soil erosion globally. Back in 2014, when I started blogging about the end of everything, the UN had already determined that there was only enough fertile soil left to plant 60 more annual crops. So, by 2074, we won't be able to grow food, full stop. This of course comes at a time when the global population continues to increase, and with it the need to grow more food. If projections are accurate, we will need to increase food production by 50% over the next three decades to feed everyone. -a dramatic increase in the cost of food and raw materials When I started this blog in 2014, I noted that 2011-2013 had seen the highest food prices on record. So what's happened since then?

It's important to point out here that the current food price spike started in 2020, so if Dr. Fraser's calculations are correct, the food system will collapse sometime around 2034, taking civilization with it. I closed my debut essay on this blog with a quote from the (now deceased) climate scientist Dr. James Lovelock, who advised a Guardian journalist to "enjoy life while you can. Because if you're lucky it's going to be 20 years before it hits the fan." That interview was published in 2008. We have four years left to enjoy.

Never Let You Go
Park Jimin x reader
Word Count: 1.4k
Pt.1 | Pt. 2 | Pt. 3 -- Masterlist
Genre: Angst to fluff
A/N: Yo! Not gonna lie, I thought this was going to be the last part, but I guess there'll be one more! Haha! Anyways... Enjoy!

“Hey, Chim! Though it’s the 12th here, it’s technically your birthday back home, so… Happy Birthday! I hope you’re doing well. Sorry I can’t be there for your birthday, but I did get you a gift so make sure to ask Hobi about that, lol! Anyways, stay safe and healthy. I love you!” Sent 8:07 am, October 12th, 2022.
“Congratulations on your Billboard #1!! I am so, incredibly proud of you!! I remember being with you when you were working on the album and all of those sleepless nights you spent in the studio and I’m so glad that your hard work is being recognized the way it should be! I also saw a performance of yours and you looked so cool! I’ll be rooting for you, fighting!!” Sent 12:42 pm, May 1st, 2023.
“Hey, I thought that I would send you message before you go into the military. I know you guys were dreading it, but it’ll pass in no time, so keep your head up! I texted the others to wish them luck in their service, too. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be there to see you off, but I’ll see you soon! Be safe, stay healthy, and do your best, which I know you always do! Good luck!” Sent 10:48 am, December 10th, 2023.
“Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Jimin! I hope you’re well. How’s life been treating you so far? Are you excited for the new year? I been doing well over here. I definitely am a little homesick, but I’ve made some really nice friends over the year, so it’s been fun. I’ve talked to the others, and they said that you’ve been doing well so that’s a relief to hear, but I’d love to hear from you. I’ll be here for you, just send a text, okay? Miss you lots…” Sent 11:11 pm, January 2nd, 2024.
“Hey, Jimin. Uh… I’ll be coming home in a week. I’m excited to see you guys! I-”
I stopped typing I looked at the last text I sent.
“I miss you…" Sent December 25, 2024”.
It had been a week since I sent that, and it was still unread. I scrolled through all of the texts I sent throughout the two years since we had the argument and I had moved, making me heavily sigh.
I deleted what I was writing, figuring that I was starting to lose the energy to keep this up. I sat up and shook my head as I went back to packing my apartment up before going back home early next week. I really can’t believe him…
~
“Dude. I just got off the plane. I’m on my way to grab my bag. What do you need because you called me six times,” I asked as I approached the luggage carousel as bags started to appear.
“Oh, nothing! I just wanted talk to you,” Jin said happily and I could practically hear the smile in his voice.
I quietly chuckled and shook my head as I watched others take their luggage and waited to see my suitcase.
“Anyway, we sent a car over to pick you up from the airport, so be on the lookout for our driver, okay?”
I nodded, though he couldn’t see me and approached the carousel once I saw my bag making its round.
“That’s sweet, thanks- hold on,” I said, sliding my phone in my coat pocket before getting hold of the suitcase handle and hauling it out of the carousel. Standing it up and pulling the handle up, I started to walk toward the ‘ground transport’ area.
“Anyway, thank you! You didn’t have to do that. I could have ridden the bus home.”
“It was no problem at all! Actually Hobi wanted to make sure you got home safe, so the idea was mainly his.”
I smiled at the concern.
“Aww! Then I’ll make sure to thank him when I get home.”
I followed the crowd as I neared the doors and saw the line of cars outside. I looked around the area to see if I could spot their driver, Mr. Choi, and a man holding a sign with my name written on it with Hobi’s handwriting. I laughed at how unreadable it was, but approached him nonetheless.
Mr. Choi bowed in greeting as I smiled and he led me outside to where the car was stationed. “I should let you go. I found you driver and I’ll be heading home. I’ll stop by to see you you and Hobi tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay! See you soon, bye~” Jin sang before he hung up.
We approached the car and Mr. Choi grabbed my bag to put in the back as the side door of the black van opened and I got in and took a seat on the left side, behind the driver’s seat.
Once situated and Mr. Choi started the car, I turned on my phone and opened Hobi’s contacted as I started typing a ‘thank you’ for sending a car to get me before a voice in the front seat interrupted me.
“So, how was your trip?”
My head shot up as I saw Jin back with a smirk on his face.
I gasped, “You came to pick me up!?” I brought my hands up to cover my mouth in surprise while he laughed and nodded.
“Yeah… I wasn’t the only one that wanted to see you…”
He glanced to the side and raised his eyebrows, hinting at something. My brows furrowed before I heard a happy “Hey, Y/n” from the back seat, making me whip my head at the voice to see Hobi sitting behind me.
“Hobi,” I happily squealed as he made his way forward and into the seat next to mine. I reached over and gave him an excited hug, happy that two of my friends came to pick me up.
“I was just going to text you! How are you guys?”
Hobi buckled him self in as the car started to move, “Good! We wanted to come surprise you.”
I smiled, looking between both of them, “Thank you, that’s sweet! How was that military, by the way?”
They both groaned, which made me chuckled as it reminded me how much the dreaded enlisting.
“Ugh! It was boring and I couldn’t do anything I wanted,” Jin whined.
“Yeah, and I missed the members and ARMY,” Hobi agreed and I nodded.
“Well, you certainly didn’t change at all,” I said.
“Of course we wouldn’t. It was just work we needed to do, but you,” Jin drawed out, pointing a finger at me and gestured to my hair, “Certainly have!”
“Yeah, you look different,” Hobi joined. I playfully rolled my eyes, “It’s just a different hair cut, guys. It’s nothing.”
Jin hummed skeptical, “Was this little decision because of a certain someone?”
Knowing he was talking about Jimin, I sighed and fell back in my seat, “No. It was just something I wanted to try out.”
Hobi’s eyes softened as he looked at me, “Did you ever get to talk to him about what happened?”
I looked down at my hands resting on my lap and sadly shook my head. “No,” I sighed, thinking of everything I did trying to get him to talk to me. “Looking back, I, maybe, tried too hard to get him to talk to me.”
“He wouldn’t talk to us about the situation either,” Hobi, stated as he sunk into his seat.
Jin crossed his arms and disappointedly shook his head in the front seat, “Yeah. He wouldn’t budge anytime one of brought up that he should, at least, talk about what happened.”
A sad smile graced my lips briefly before I rolled my eyes, emotionally exhausted by this whole situation.
“Maybe I should've given up the first time he said that we were over,” I mumbled as I turned to look outside the window and watch the cars pass.
“Listen, he could still come around. Jimin comes out of the military in June,” Hobi tried to look at the positives.
“Mhm. And if he doesn’t talk to you, we’ll hold it over him for the rest of his days,” Jin said, nodding securely as if that was the final decision.
I chuckled quietly and nodded at their statements, though I wasn’t sure how true they would reign. Would Jimin want to talk after the military? Could this be fixed or am I fooling myself?
I sighed, “I guess we’ll see…”

weekly recap: week 01 [30.12.24-05.01.25]
i decided to start doing weekly recaps as a way to keep myself accountable not only with language learning but with all my studying in general. So, peep my new rug and Pikku Myy cup, as well as the moomin calendar i got for christmas! let's see:
studying
Finnish
As I said in my last Finnish update, I hadn't been doing much this past weeks. I've restarted again, but I'm aware this two months are not gonna be the best, since I need to focus in all my tests happening in February. Still, I wanna try and find time for it everyday, even if its just couple minutes.
I'll add the tracker of what I did this week (only started counting the 1st tho) but yeah managed to get a session of active studying and one of writing besides my immersion. I'll continue my lessons next week so looking forward to that.
My degree
To be honest I don't normally have to spend much time with this. I only have three subjects this year, and since I'm studying online and have no classes I don't need to do much during the year. The only stressful times are when I have to turn in papers and exams. This being said, I do need to turn in papers next two weeks, and I have my midterms at the start of February, so I am indeed stressed :D
I started revising the content for one of the subject's paper, which is already something. I usually get decently good grades without much stress since its the second degree im doing in the topic and almost everything sounds familiar already, but last two papers with this teacher didn't go that well (imo bc of her way aka inexisting way of explaining the papers) so im kinda pissed off :D
I didn't need good grades in this degree since its kinda useless having already my previous one, but since there's the possibility of going in erasmus again i want good grades to hopefully get into the program again. Soo, this next weeks I gotta grind and start doing the papers as well as start working on the units.
Hygieniapassi test
New addition! Since my plan is to move to Finland hopefully this year (still don't know how or when but we're getting there) and getting a job of my area (media production) is impossible without experience anywhere, I'd need to get a regular no studies entry level job and I thought I could make things easier for myself and get it before the move. I'm going there late February, so thats my deadline!
Actually signed up today for the exam. I have been working on the material in the app for the past two weeks ish, I only have two courses left to copy into my notebook (I physically can't retain any info if I don't write it myself) so I'm hoping to finish them before my papers are due! I still have to work on a schedule so I have time for everything, but pretty happy so far.
life updates
work
Christmas rush is coming to an end, but we have an inventory coming soon, which means extra hours and extra stress. Not the most ideal thing with all the studying I have to do, but we'll survive i guess :'D
hobbies & social life
To be honest I don't have much time for hobbies these days, but that's something I wanna change. Went to see Nosferatu with a friend at the start of the week (loved it) and we have another 3 movies lined up for the next weeks (can you tell i love going to the cinema). Also planning couple meet ups with different friend groups, this doesn't happen often since couple of them we don't see eachother in months, but seems like everything's happening at the same time. Stressful, but happy to get to see them!! Also meeting with my bookclub, so gotta finish the book of the month at some point.
Also something I'm super excited about, booked my flights to Finland!! Already mentioned I was going in February but actually having the flights its a life changer when it comes to waiting. Can't wait to be back 😊
media update
📖: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - V. E. Schwab
🎬: Nosferatu - 4 ⭐️
🎧: Nonbeliever - Lucy Dacus

#still deciding how to do the recaps but thats all for now#is the font too small idk i feel like i rant too much#im stressed if you couldn't tell ohwell#beestudyweek#productivity#studyblr#language learning

💖 YOUR NEW YEAR PRE-LUDE (33 DAYS TILL 2025) [GLOW UP SERIES] 💖
If you’re still waiting till 1st Jan 2025 to change your life, then sweetie you’re already ten steps behind. The ladies that have been following this series know we been on this GLOW-UP since September!!! Which means there has been plenty of time for trial and error, plenty of time to join the gym, slack off and then get back into and fall off again, because by the 2025 arrives we already in our NEW ROUTINE. ELEVATED. CEMENTED. But if you’re late to the party fear not, I’ve got the goodies. This period is all about finding your ENERGY LEAKS and fixing them. It’s one thing to want to start a new business, loose weight, meet the love of your life…But what if you keep failing before you even start? What if when the evening comes you have no energy for the gym, what about if you try to loose weight but keep eating those free cakes in the office? To fix the issues, you’ve got to identify where you’re slipping up and to do this you need to start REFLECTING. Reflection is going to change your life, it allows you to take a birds eye view of your current situation and assess your shortcomings and make necessary changes. With this knowledge you can...
IDENTIFY THE SNARES (a snare is discreet trap to catch and kill)
Example 1:
You’re still entertaining Mr Mixed Signals (you want to trace back the steps to see how/when you got into this situation, maybe you misread the signals, forgot to ask him his intentions because he wasn’t clear with you and this is the trap. He wasn’t clear and you didn’t ask. The trap was you not asking questions which is ESPECIALLY important when you’re dealing with confusing men. They will confuse into the wilderness, causing you to loose your track of your own life, wasting time and precious energy…for what?? Now if you done already learnt this lesson and identified the SNARE come 2025 you will not be falling for the same trap. And this is the power of reflection and identifying the snare.
Example 2:
You’re struggling to not check your phone in the morning. You go to sleep with your phone on your bedside table. You’ve realised the snare is waking up with the phone within arms reach, but if your phone is in the other room and your watch is on your bedside, there is no slipping up. You practise this continuously for the next few weeks, so by the time we are in 2025, morning scrolling will be a thing of the past.
Example 3:
You hate mid-week cleaning period. But you know how much a dirty bathroom impacts your clean aesthetic. So when the bathroom sink is getting a little grimy by Tuesday and needs a clean but you don’t have cleaning spray stored in the bathroom, because its kept under the kitchen sink…You’ve realised this is the trap. So you’ve invested in some cleaning wipes on your next supermarket run that you can easily store in your bathroom cabinet, and now your bathroom is quickly wiped and cleaned looking immaculate daily...
Do you see how important this time is PRE-2025? You get to figure out why you can’t stay on top of your cleaning, why you keep skipping the gym, you reflect and understand where the snare has killed the life and soul of your vision. ~Your vision to live in cleanliness, your vision to meet the love of your life, to wake up and have you-time before you check in with the world.
Homework: I recommend setting aside 30 mins to do some reflections in a notepad, reflect on your goals, identify the snares killing your goals from being realised and get a new plan. Be one step ahead, we are not playing in 2025. We are healed, thriving, energised, and abundant. Use these 33 days wisely. Be one step ahead.

So just finished watching the ep so review. Spoils ahead:
So the episode was ok to me, solid 6/10 one of the better episodes which since this was supposed to be an "extravagant" ep why does it got better quality than the main eps, idk Viv has her moments like this ep and other eps its a train wreck in writing ect.
Mammon worked on my nerves, from design to his movements, personality ALL of him was annoying, which props for an annoying Villian but its Villian I never want to see back again and he's hinted for some sort of return.
Side tangent: Mammon is like the how many-ith Villian to get a return ep/hint at one. It was 1st cherubs, then dorks, then stella/ice twink, striker/crimson now Mammon & according to the leaked storyboards a ghost guy that tries to talk IMP into off-ing themselves... its a flipping lot and cherubs & dorks seem to be forgotten dispite dorks knowing & having hard evidence they exist, flip Viv chill it with your Villian of the week cos its way too many now.
Anyway, Blitz didn't need to be in this ep besides the flashback. Ozzie got him to talk Fizz out of being Mammon's puppet but ultimately Ozzie spoke him out of it & gave him courage to quit/confront Mammon. Even Blitz being a bodyguard/killing people for Fizz could've been any imp. Blitz is starting to feel like Steven from SU, in every ep even tho the ep doesn't need him/ the episode surrounds topics a wee child shouldn't be in (i.e Lapis trauma dumping on Steven & he a child isn't really equipped to handle that situation).
My fave part of this ep was Ozzie and Fizz. Ya'll I legit prayed Viv wouldn't mess these two up and my prayers were answered. Absolutely a joy these two were. Fizz especially what a darling. Loved that small scenes with him and the deaf imp child, l dont know sign language but it looked genuine animated and was just sweet moments.
From their interactions, Fizz's panic attacks/self doubt felt & were genuine... I felt that as someone that has panic attacks from high stress on my studies/life. It was just handled well. Fizz feeling less than and needing to prove himself from 1. his past 2. his appearance, that accident affected his self image/worth so much (why I felt him forgiving Blitz was too hastily done but I digress) & 3. him doing this Mammon contest still to gain/earn Ozzie's love for him cos Fizz believes Ozzie only sticks around because of this fame Mammon gave Fizz. Ozzie finally saying what he loves about Fizz was lovely, wanted that in the 1st ep but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Their song was... I didn't like it BUT the message in it was beautiful. Lastly Fizz saying fuck you to Mammon from the courage/strength Ozzie gave him was a nice send off... also Ozzie saying he loves Fizz ah ngl that made me smile agh I just love them. I want to see them more than the Stolitz show but thats only a wish. Props Viv, you get 1 brownie point not messing this up.
Last findings, the ep was bloated as hell my soul Viv please stop cramming so much in an ep, this one is 30 mins long & yet still felt bloated. Pacing was a motherfuka damn it was bad & the swearing was jarring (its a Viv written ep I don't expect any less but still gonna point it out) and the comedy wasn't so prominent in this ep, Blitz/Mammon gave some comic relief but in the best and worst ways:
The way the VA delivered this line "to be fucked" made me laugh, the line is cringy but the delivery lol gold

Aand Blitz, my soul shut the fuck up & get out this ep. Last ep & this one he said something so agonizingly cringe I pulled my face

The world of HB is legit American hell or earth just painted red since Fizz named all these places in America just "hellified" where his fans come from.
And very last, congratulations Salem glad you got the cathartic send off you deserve from working under Viv, truly fuck you "Mammon" indeed :) also glad they credited you this time.
