I know this cringefail loser (affectionate) did not just waste my last lock-pick rolling TWO nat 1’s in a row. Don’t piss me off Astarion 😐

It's been about a decade since Alfonso Alto came to destroy Postres de Alegría by opening his own business, Alto's Bakery. He stole their customers by using his family name and wealth, which Noemí could compete with as an immigrant with barely any money to her name. Noemí and her mom, Ynez, had a dream to open up their own bakery. When Ynez passed away, Noemí was left on her own to make that dream a reality. She moved to a different continent and started doing bake sales at the front of her new house. It was nothing fancy, but it was a start. Noemí set money aside whenever she could. She didn't think she would open her own bakery for a long time.. until her best friend, Irene, and her husband, Teodor, came to her with the partnership opportunity of a lifetime. It was either now or possibly never. Noemí was hesitant at first, but she eventually accepted. She had her bakery and it was all thanks to Irene and Teodor! Nothing could have prepared them when Teodor's ex-business partner, Alfonso, came after him yet again... He already did it once when he stole his resort plans back in Isla Paradiso. Yeah, everything happened a long time ago and the Alegrías are somewhat okay financially now. However, rage builds up inside Dulce whenever she passes by Alto's Bakery and sees a long line of people outside. Maybe Alfonso's customers don't know or simply don't care about what he did, but Dulce has to do something about it. And by the looks of it, Alfonso doesn't have anyone by his side anymore. Nick and Vita Alto passed from old age. Holly Alto wanted nothing to do with her family, so she changed her name and moved away to live a humble life. Bert Alto is in hospice care and doesn't have any heirs. Alfonso's daughter, Ashley, also wants nothing to do with his weird business practices; instead, she married into another rich family. Alfonso's alone. He's done. Why hasn't he retired yet and let go of that damn bakery? Does he still want to take every single cent away from Teodor Medina until his last breath? Who knows? Dulce says it ends with her.

I love mike walters so much. Saying you'd rather cut your arm off while living a normal life? Classic hyperbole (if oddly specific). Saying you'd rather cut your arm off (again) after having already had to cut your arm off? Wild, but coping is weird. Saying you'd rather cut your arm off (again) after having already been called on your bluff???

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

written as a thematic successor to this Dionysian prayer by Underflow of Dreamwidth, guided mostly by vibes and personal goals rather than sticking to the exact theming and goal of the original prayer; posted for lack of anything better to do with a typed-up version. color-coding should be obvious but if you're not sure what it's for... well, guess, that's half the point.

Odin, wise one, concealer, maddener, who knows many secrets best left alone Loki, sly one, lie-smith, tester of the mind, who weaves trickery three feet deep Blood-brothers, swift talkers, decievers who can choose to reveal that which is disguised Odin, twice-blind, flaming-eyed, Loki, knot-tyer, thought-tryer, I call to you now, who arrive like the hawk and the raven Odin, old one, advantage counsel, who can see the truth guide me to truth as well - awaken me to myself Odin, wanderer, show me the path that I should walk Loki, tangler, tree of deceit, clever-tongue with stitched lips, Unwind for me the lies in my mind - unknot secrets from their roosts Loki, spider, show me what threads rattle and what lies still Grant me revelation, that which lies behind the illusion Grant me direction, point my feet through darkness Grant me clear sight, past deception and lies, Blind One, guide my eyes Send me cleverness, with which to uncover and discover And let me borrow fortune, luck, victory, and the strength to see and do Loki, mischief-maker, give me sly words; and Odin, wise one, remind me when not to speak Weather-maker, earth-shaker, father of songs, hearth-warmer and bright fire, Send me discovery, give me uncovery, show me to the truth and how to see it; guide me over dangerous paces and the obscurations of night And show me into interesting times.

The Pinch House (!!!): Part 2

Nicola's new friend Benjamin gifts her a computer, which she promptly sells and uses the money to build a tiny house(!!!). Well, more like a room. It has a door and a roof above her head, which is all she needs. The only furniture she can afford to buy are a small bookshelf (so she can start skilling for a promotion), a crate for a table and a candle to bring light. Despite now having a roof over her head, she still uses the tent to sleep outside. That, however, will have to change once winter comes around.

To thank Benjamin, Nicola asks him out for a date. They head to this small, cute restaurant that... I forgot to place the restaurant podium in, so they don't even get to have dinner. She even had the money to treat him! Oh well, instead they head out to her usual hang out spot in the park, and Nicola cooks them hot dogs. It's not a dream date, exactly, but it could have gone worse. At the end of the date Benjamin says he'd like to meet again and they share a little kiss.

After the date, first snow falls in Oddity.

Noemí and Erick have started to work out a little bit. With their 40s around the corner, they want to make sure they live long, healthy lives!

I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore your Sakura in the Captain Obito comics. I wonder, is Kakashi still her sensei? If so, he must be so proud of her and her ability to save Uchiha butt. (He understands the challenge that is Obito.)

I like the canon setting that has already been set on so yeah, Kakashi is still her sensei (and always will be ✨) no matter she's somewhere with!

He could tag along on their adventures together~~ but that only mean she has to babysit him too. No one wants to know what will happen if Obito and Kakashi stuck with each other 😬 yikes

Apparently November 1st self-portrait day or something, and Eana Unil held a challenge on Kelutral (and Instagram I think) to draw yourself as a Na’vi. So of course I wanted to give it a go! Unfortunately finished just a few hours late since I don’t have a ton of free time available for gettin’ art done fast atm, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  better a tad late than never I suppose

and of course, can’t forget to include palulukantsyìp alu Meysi! ^w^
