My word was: VASE.

V:

“Very funny,” she says coldly. “I know you didn’t like the guy, dingus, but that’s no reason-”

vampire!Eddie fic

A:

A guy can hope, at least.

It happens again. Then again and again, until it’s no longer strange, it’s just normal.

ghost!Eddie fic

S:

Steve swallows, closes his eyes and lets himself feel. Lets himself believe. “Okay,” he finally whispers. He opens his eyes to see Eddie smiling softly at him. He moves his hand, stilling when Eddie catches it and puts it back on his chest.

“As long as you need,” he whispers.

baby Dustin fic

E:

“Eddie,” Steve breathes.

“Well, hell,” Wayne says, “c’mon in, I s’pose.”

Video of how different dogs get downstairs. Hell yeah

Ah, that’s fair. All I know is central HVAC 😅 so in my mind, “turn the AC down” means “turn the temperature lower”, and “turn the AC up” means “turn the temperature warmer”.

my spouse and i disagree

[estrellami-1]

hope is a skill

Just saw a post asking how tall people are and now I want to make it a poll. Apologies to people in the fringe height categories, you do not get specifics.

I had to consult a chart for this

[estrellami-1]

were you homeschooled at some point?

[estrellami-1]

Darling does your AC not do both??? Is that not a common thing????

my spouse and i disagree

Oooohhh okay okay okay okay SO I need mystery alpha dude to either be 1) Eddie and this is a Fun Scene OR 2) someone else like Billy or Tommy or Henry and the person asking if Steve’s okay is Eddie… BUT if it’s Eddie in a Not Fun Scene. Babe. Babe you and I are gonna have WORDS okay.

Okay so I am An Idiot (we knew this) and did in fact know you had a mafia AU. I still need it though :)

i decided to give you more mafia au just bc this series of asks made me laugh

-

“Yes, sir,” Steve mumbled, trying to keep his breathing even and the tears at bay.

“Everything alright?” a voice asked from nearby, sounding mildly suspicious. The alpha straightened up, sliding his hand down to intertwine his fingers with Steve’s. He plastered a fake smile on his face, a charming one that worked on everyone he ever came into contact with.

“Everything’s just fine,” he stated calmly, a firm finality to his tone that clearly said don't ask questions or else.

[estrellami-1]

We had JUST talked about it but then again you know my memory 😂 the joys of ADHD!

Ohhhhh ok I’m scared and intrigued and also want to punch whoever’s speaking in the face. Or the dick, I’m really not picky. I’m so excited for this one!!! ❤️

Okay first of all HOW did I not know we both have a mafia AU. Second of all I need it please :)

babe when this came across my notifs i laughed so hard bc i literally complained to you about it forever just a couple days before this 😭 (i did in fact see your other ask, which i will add in a little bit hahaha)

anyway here's another snippet of the mafia au 😭

-

“God, you just can't do anything right, can you?” he growled lowly. “All I ask is for you to be a proper omega. It is not that difficult, and yet you still can't seem to manage even that. Instead you go and embarrass me in front of a whole store of people.”

“It’s 2025, why are there no flying cars-” WRONG why are there no oral pain meds that work instantly

Another side note: do NOT wear black if you can at all help it. It WILL trap heat and you WILL be miserable. Aim for lighter colors. Dress like a goddamn bride if you have to. Avoid dark colors at all cost. I don’t give a damn about your style because heat stroke doesn’t. Stay away from dark colors. Also, flip flops if you can. Let your feet breathe.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Texan here! Wind is just hot air at a certain point but it WILL help, esp if you’re inside and sweating. Figure out which direction the wind is blowing and open ONLY those windows. Get some airflow. If you can open your doors, do it. Other than that, I think everything’s been covered. Best of luck up there!

A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.

The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.

Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.
