FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW

THIS IS A TRUMPET

THIS IS A TROMBONE

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

[lovingalexlots]

It was either plagues or all lol

Okay here's an actual serious poll for you.

[lovingalexlots]

trying to settle a debate with my boyfriend, reblog and put in the tags your race and if you put your hand or foot on the wall when you’re sleeping to cool yourself off/not overheat

[lovingalexlots]

I have strawberry blonde hair that's really thin, but there's a LOT of it which gives it the volume of thick hair. Hairdressers ALWAYS swoon over the color and texture and how people can never replicate it no matter what they try. When I say how much idgaf about what they do to it cause it grows like an inch every 2 weeks (I've legit have gone from a pixie cut in January to past my shoulders in September, it's crazy) they start going on and on about how healthy it is blah blah blah....

Honestly I have no idea why it's so "healthy" cause I don't do anything special. I rarely get the same shampoo n conditioner, when I run out and have to get more I just grab one that looks like it'd help lol. And surprisingly, it stays healthy even after bleach and dye or perms. It doesn't get all burnt or whatever. Which is saying something cause due to having red hair I have to leave everything in like 60% longer to take effect 🙃

having thick hair and going to get your hair cut is just having to listen to your hair dresser repeat over and over again how millions of people would commit despicable crimes to have your hair

Summary:

Dean's just delivering the weirdest pizza he's ever heard of when something even stranger and interesting happens. Maybe it's a beginning of something better.

(Fic below cut)

Dean walks up to the front door of a nice town house settled in the middle of an ordinary burro. Damn people living in identical houses, hope this is the right one…

“Hello!? Up here!”

Dean looks around, questioning if the deep voice was calling for him.

“Yes, you! Pizzaman! Up here on the roof!”

Taking a few steps back, Dean raises his head, finding a man sitting on the roof of the house. “What… What are you doing on the roof?” he couldn’t help but ask.

The mystery man rubbed the back of his head. “W-well… you see,I was taking out the trash then discovered that I had accidentally locked myself out. I thought maybe I could get in by the attic window, but it turned out to be locked too…” Wow was this dude’s voice deep . Was he gargling nails while he was up there?

“Why are you still up there, though? I can’t imagine it’s comfy, especially with the bit of snow covering everything.” Yes Dean knew he was prying, but he couldn’t help it. He has a healthy curiosity and it’s totally not because the dude was really hot. And it definitely isn’t because the christmas lights lining the gutter made the man’s eyes sparkle and his dark ruffled hair shine with colors.

The man rubbed the back of his neck then fiddled with one of the blinking lights before answering, “The ladder fell down in the process of getting up here… I had gotten tangled in the lights and accidentally kicked it while unraveling myself.” It was said so shyly that Dean almost missed it.

Don’t laugh Don’t laugh Don’t laugh

He laughed.

The blush that spread across the man’s face made it worth it.

“Let me get this straight, you locked yourself out and got stuck on the roof, so you ordered a pizza?” Dean snickered.

“N-No!” the guy scoffed, “...I called for a pizza before I noticed I was locked out…”

With another chuckle, Dean set the pizza bag down on the porch swing. It wasn’t hard to find the latter laying on the thinly snow coated ground.

The man let out a grateful sigh. “Thank you, it’s colder having to sit on the snowy shillings than on the porch.”

“No problem,” Dean dismissed, climbing up the ladder and leaning an arm on the roof, “just one question… Why a meat-lover’s supreme with pineapple and olives ?”

The question caught the dude off guard if his wide blinking eyes had anything to say about it. Dean thought the guy was gonna say something snarky or along the lines of confusion, but instead he broke out in laughter. It’s beauty was contagious and Dean found himself laughing along, leaning farther onto the roof.

A bit of the dirt below one of the ladder’s legs gave way from the bustling of Dean’s laughter, tipping it. Dean only had enough time to let out a curse before he was grabbed up by the man, pulled onto the roof in preference of falling to certain injury.

The two lay on the roof for a moment, reeling from the suddenness of the situation. “Well shit…” Dean huffed, breath puffing a little cloud.

“I second that,” the other guy sighed, “now we’re both stuck up here for who knows how long.”

“You’re kidding… You’re not expecting anyone to show up? What, do you live here alone or something? This big house!?” How could the dude afford such a place on his own and at such a young age?

“Afraid so… I inherited this house from my grandparents and my father had gathered a substantial inheritance before disappearing,” the stranger sighed, which reminded Dean…

“Well, if we’re gonna be up here for a while,” He offered a hand, “Hi, my name’s Dean.”

A tiny smile graced the man’s chapped lips. “Hello, Dean. I’m Castiel.”

…

All in all, Dean enjoyed their night on the roof, consisting of a lot of talking, and ending in huddling close for warmth. It was a pleasant sort of eventful, mid-December evening.

Although being saved by Castiel’s brother, Gabriel, the next morning is a whole separate thing entirely.

At least the coldness outside preserved the pizza and all three were able to have a leftover pizza breakfast.

Fictional Rec Friday (v.7): Better Off Dead

This week’s recommendation is one of my favorite movies I’ve seen a gazillion times growing up!

_______________________

Title: Better Off Dead (1985)

Director:  Savage Steve Holland

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Critics: IMDb= 7.1/10, Rotten Tomatoes= 77%

Rating: PG

Starring:   John Cusack, David Ogden Stiers, Kim Darby, and more

Run Time: 1h 37min

Available on: I have no freaking clue to be honest with you, nothing comes up when I google it ( TT -TT)

Story line:  

A teenager has to deal with his girlfriend dumping him among family crises, homicidal paper boys, and a rival skier. 

_________________

This movie might take a certain type of humor to enjoy, but if you like movies from the 80′s, I think this is a must see. 

This movie touches on a lot of different socially awkward things that are honestly still relatable to people today. 

Completely forget you had homework? Plenty of times.

Weird neighbors? Who doesn’t have one?

Zoning out while working a crappy job? At least once a day.

Weird freaking siblings? All of them are.

This entire scene:

Also: Who wouldn’t fall for a cute curly haired french girl psh Diane Franklin is A++ cutie that even my lil “not knowing what Gay is” kid self would’ve gladly taken her on a date

Also Also: I can’t think of $2 or newspaper boys without instantly thinking “I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS” it kills me XD

Me and my father make so many references to this movie, Real Genius, Leverage, Fringe, and original Looney Toons skits I swear references make up 60% of our conversations (the other 40% being smart ass remarks about others being stupid and him giving me anxiety over questions about my future plans).

But anyway, I’mma leave yinz to go check it out. Maybe binge watch compilations on YouTube.

PART OF MY "Hello Dean” SERIES

Summary:

Prompt:  “I slipped on ice outside your house and you ran outside barefoot to help me. Quick, let’s get inside and under a blanket!”

Dean looks out the window to check how much snow fell so far when he sees Cas bite it on some black ice. He rushes out to help the stranger and invites him inside to warm up.

(Fic below cut)

The microwave gives off a high pitched beep.

Dean takes out his mug, being careful of the hot handle, and mixes it a little with a spoon before adding a few mini marshmallows. He blows on it a few times to cool it off while he makes his way to the living room. The TV plays a hallmark movie in a low volume, but he’d eat his own foot before admitting that he even has the channel.

It’s been snowing for the better part of the day, but when he glances outside, he notices that the snow has stopped. Dean moves closer to the window to see just how much has fallen. He takes a sip of hot cocoa as he observes how the snow gives everything a nice white coating.

Christmas lights and sunlight sparkle off the white crystals. Baby has a light coating that Dean’ll have to swipe off, along with clearing out the walk way again. Similar to the neighbor across the street, who’s already outside sweeping the inch or so of snow off his driveway.

Not many people are out right now since it’s already Christmas eve and it’s starting to get late. However, Dean does notice a man in a long beige coat making his way down the sidewalk. He’s carrying one large present and a few littler ones. The man is wearing a light blue scarf that hides most of his face, along with a blue snowflake patterned beanie with a white pompom on top.

The stranger has just passed by Dean’s driveway when his feet start to slide. Before the man can react, his feet shoot out from under him and he falls, presents flying into the air and landing in the snow bank at the edge of Dean’s yard.

“Shit,” Dean spits, setting his mug on the side table and rushing to his door. That fall looked pretty painful. When he steps outside, the man is still laying on the ground.

He rushes over to the man, making sure to stay off the black ice the man slipped on. “Hey, are you okay? That was a nasty spill!” Dean says as he helps the man to his feet.

“I’m… I’m okay. I didn’t see the ice…” The man sounds utterly humiliated and Dean has the urge to comfort him.

“It’s alright, everyone slips at some point. Especially with this kinda weather. Damn invisible black ice.” Dean offers his hand to the man. “I’m Dean by the way.”

The man takes Dean’s hand with his gloved ones. “Castiel.” It’s then that Dean gets a good look at the man. His scarf has been moved out of the way of his face, revealing chapped pink lips and a stubbled chin that could’ve been carved by Greek sculptors. The man’s blue --holy fuck, really blue-- eyes look Dean over and Dean has the decency to feel his cheeks burn.

“I don’t mean to be rude, but aren’t you cold?” The man -- Castiel damn it, call him by his name-- asks him. Dean looks down, only now noticing that he rushed out here in just his fuzzy Christmas socks, flannel pj pants, and an ugly Christmas sweater. Now that it was brought to attention, he’s fucking freezing!

He wraps his arms around his torso and his teeth begin to chatter as all the cold floods him at once. “Now that you mention it? Hell yeah. C’mon, inside, I’ll get you some hot cocoa and we can both warm up.” Dean rushes to pick up a few of the presents and practically jogs back inside, hoping that Cas follows. He does.

Dean sets the presents he carried on the table in the kitchen and Cas follows suit. Before doing anything else, Dean goes over to a vent in the floor and pulls out the hem of his sweater, letting it puff up with the warm air from the vent. He lets out a contented sigh, “much better.”

He doesn’t notice the way the corner of Castiel’s lips twitch upwards.

“Okay, let’s see… I promised you hot cocoa. Go ahead and sit down, make yourself comfortable.” Cas takes a seat at the tiny island while Dean busies himself getting the ingredients together. He works quick and efficient with the ease of someone who’s done this countless times before. He mixes everything together and places it in the microwave. “Quicker this way,” he reasoned, thinking that Cas might find it odd that he doesn’t just use the stove.

While the microwave is going, he slips into the living room real quick to grab his own mug, pleasantly surprised when he finds it still nice and warm. He comes back and the microwave beeps.

“How many ‘mallows?”

“I’ve never had it with marshmallows before.”

Dean gives an ever exaggerated gasp, putting his hand over his heart in offense.

“Never had marshmallows in his hot cocoa.” He says it as if Cas has offended his very way of life.

“We gotta fix such an outrage!” he declares, plopping at least six marshmallows into Castiel’s cup. “Try this. It’s the good shit.”

Cas gives a soft chuckle before accepting the mug and taking a tentative sip.

“You’re right, it is really good. I’ll definitely be adding them for now on.” A big smile splits Dean’s face. “Awesome. Knew you’d like it.”

There’s a moment of silence where they both enjoy their cocoa. It’s a comfortable silence where people can just soak in the other person’s company.

“So, what were you doing walking down the street at a time like this?” Dean asks, sitting down across from Cas.

“Well, I was heading to my brother’s house --me, a few of our siblings, and some friends gather there every year-- but my car broke down as I turned onto the street.”

“I can take a look at it if you want. I’m handy with anything that got a motor.”

“Thank you. That would be great.”

Dean lowers his mug, “wait, who’s your brother?”

“Gabriel Novak. He lives with our cousin Balthazar a few houses down from this one.”

“Oh those dudes. Honestly? Don’t see the resemblance.”

Cas laughs. “We get that a lot.”

Once they’re both done, the two bundle up into their coats, Cas putting the presents in the backseat of Baby while Dean throws some tools in the trunk, along with a small can of gas just in case.

The two go down the road and Dean laughs when he sees Castiel’s car. “Oh dude… no wonder you broke down!” he jokes as they get out.

“Hey, this car has been good to me so far!” Cas defends.

“Yeah, well, that doesn’t change the fact that this ol’ girl is about ready to retire!” Cas unlocks the car and gives Dean the keys accompanied by a pout. It only takes Dean one try of turning it on to know that it’s out of gas.

Cas blushes. “My-my gage must have broken…” Dean just gives him an amused look over his shoulder and grabs the little gas can from his trunk.

And with that, the car starts right up. Turns out the gage really was broken, saying that there’s three-fourths of a tank even though Dean had only put in half a gallon or so. Cas gets in and rolls down his window, letting Dean lean down on it. There’s a pause where neither of them know what to say.

“Well… uh…” Dean scratches the side of his nose with his thumb, “you should be able to get that checked out real easy. Um. My uncle owns the shop in town, Singer’s auto? I could call him and put in a good word for you.”

“Thank you Dean. For everything.”

Dean rubs the back of his head “It-It was nothing. It was nice meeting you. Uh, maybe we could meet up again at some point. Shouldn’t be hard seeing how your brother lives right down the street and all…”

Cas gives him a sweet and encouraging smile. “I’d like that.”

Dean’s face splits in a smile once again. “Awesome. Guess I’ll see you around then.” And with that, they say their goodbyes and Cas drives away.

Dean stands on the side of the road watching him drive away for a few moments before shaking himself out of his thoughts and driving back home. It was too cold to be standing outside having a mental breakdown about how cute the neighbor’s brother is.

…

It’s only a few days until New Years when there’s a knock on Dean’s door. When he opens it, there’s Cas, holding a pan of what looks like leftovers, and a shy little smile on his face.

“Hello Dean.”

Fictional Rec Friday (v.6): Evil Overlord, Inc.

So this is a week late cause stupid me thought “Hey, why not reread this entirely and make notes for it’s FRF” two days before it was due to post... it’s 137k and I was about to go on a family trip/vacation for the whole weekend.... 

I’m bad at making decisions XD

Summary:

Merlin is a recent graduate with a double doctorate in metaphysics and physics. Arthur is a low-level paper pusher with a desk in the sub-basement of MI5. They live in a world with ridiculous laws and restrictions against anyone who might be supernatural in any way, shape, or design.

Merlin has huge debts looming over this head, a few quid left in his bank account, and no job prospects. Arthur is pushing thirty, in a dead-end job with no chances of promotion to fieldwork agent, and is thoroughly bored with his life.

One ill-advised Craigslist advert, five pushy mates, one nosy all-knowing sister, and a hacked email account later, Merlin and Arthur take the world by storm.

(Or, more precisely, they take over the world.)

If you like “Modern supernatural stuffs are common to the general public” tropes, then you’ll LOVE this! (Also see: Arthur in glasses and Nerdy Merlin)

Amazing Writing featuring: humor that will have you dying (I’d almost woken up family members while reading Footloose’s work at ungodly hours of the morning XD), Emotional moments that will make you weep, A+ Sass master comebacks, and Descriptions that make it feel as if you’re there!

Another bonus is that side characters get a front row and people of this are all so well written.. I mean...  

Will. 

Period. 

Just... 

Will being there. I love Merlin’s sassy BFF Will in fanfictions. He should’ve gotten more time in the show, fite me

And no one can forget our resident baby-faced Druid, Mordred!  A chill, best bud Druid Mordred gives me life, cause that boy had so much potential and Merlin fucked it up cause he’s bad at making decisions (I still love my lil chaotic sorcerer/manservant tho)

*gets shoved out of the way by a handsome yet scruffy man*

*man winks at camera*

*blonde gentleman drags scruff guy away but scruff still manages a flirty goodbye wiggly fingered wave*

Ah yes, let’s not forget our suave lil play boy Gwaine, whom I love to bits <3 His back and forth with Arthur never fails to leave me rolling XD

Ugh, and not just the side characters are well done, but Merlin and Arthur themselves!! The story is told in switching POV between Merlin and Arthur and it’s so freaking on point it makes me weep

AND AND if well written characters aren’t enough, there’s A++ realistic and interesting world building... just... yes thank you please go on

If excellent writing hasn’t pulled you in yet, may I point you to the art that mushroom has yet again hit a four-run out of the park with yet again. 

I mean... these are are just two of them, but they appear throughout the chapters: 

For more art and for Mushroom’s fanmix, check THIS OUT which is all part of the story’s SERIES which includes a really good timestamp for everything and the website design that Mushroom made for EOI’s website UwU
