Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #27

July 12-19 2024

President Biden announced the cancellation of $1.2 billion dollars worth of student loan debt. This will cancel the debt of 35,000 public service workers, such as teachers, nurses, and firefighters. This brings the total number of people who've had their student debt relived under the Biden Administration to 4.8 million or one out of every ten people with student loan debt, for a total of $168.5 billion in debt forgiven. This came after the Supreme Court threw out an earlier more wide ranging student debt relief plan forcing the administration to undertake a slower more piecemeal process for forgiving debt. President Biden announced a new plan in the spring that will hopefully be finalized by fall that will forgive an additional 30 million people's student loan debt.

President Biden announced actions to lower housing coasts, make more housing available and called on Congress to prevent rent hikes. President Biden's plan calls for landlords who raise the rent by more than 5% a year to face losing major important tax befits, the average rent has gone up by 21% since 2021. The President has also instructed the federal government, the largest land owner in the country, to examine how unused property can be used for housing. The Bureau of Land Management plans on building 15,000 affordable housing units on public land in southern Nevada, the USPS is examining 8,500 unused properties across America to be repurposed for housing, HHS is finalizing a new rule to make it easier to use federal property to house the homeless, and the Administration is calling on state, local, and tribal governments to use their own unused property for housing, which could create approximately 1.9 million units nationwide.

The Department of Transportation announced $5 billion to replace or restore major bridges across the country. The money will go to 13 significant bridges in 16 states. Some bridges are suffering from years of neglect others are nearly 100 years old and no longer fit for modern demands. Some of the projects include the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River which connects Portland Oregon to Vancouver Washington, replacing the Sagamore Bridge which connects Cape Cod to the mainland built in 1933, replacing the I- 83 South Bridge in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Cape Fear Memorial Bridge Replacement Project in Wilmington, North Carolina, among others.

President Biden signed an Executive Order aimed at boosting Latino college attendance. The order established the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity through Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are defined as colleges with 25% or above Hispanic/Latino enrollment, currently 55% of Hispanic college students are enrolled in an HSI. The initiative seeks to stream line the relationship between the federal government and HSIs to allow them to more easily take advantage of federal programs and expand their reach to better serve students and boost Hispanic enrollment nationwide.

HUD announced $325 million in grants for housing and community development in 7 cities. the cities in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Nevada, New York and New Jersey, have collectively pledged to develop over 6,500 new mixed-income units, including the one-for-one replacement of 2,677 severely distressed public housing units. The 7 collectively will invest $2.65 billion in additional resources within the Choice Neighborhood area – so that every $1 in HUD funds will generate $8.65 in additional resources.

President Biden took extensive new actions on immigration. On June 18th The President announced a new policy that would allow the foreign born spouses and step children of American citizens who don't have legal status to apply for it without having to leave the country, this would effect about half a million spouses and 50,000 children. This week Biden announced that people can start applying on August 19, 2024. Also in June President Biden announced an easing of Visa rules that will allow Dreamers, Americans brought to the country as children without legal status, to finally get work visas to give them legal status and a path way to citizenship. This week the Biden Administration announced a new rule to expand the federal TRIO program to cover Dreamers. TRIO is a program that aims to support low income students and those who would be the first in their families to go to college transition from high school to college, the change would support 50,000 more students each year. The Administration also plans to double the number of free immigration lawyers available to those going through immigration court.

The EPA announced $160 million in grants to support Clean U.S. Manufacturing of Steel and Other Construction Materials. The EPA estimates that the manufacturing of construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, steel, and glass, accounts for 15% of the annual global greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA is supporting 38 projects aimed at measuring and combatting the environmental impact of construction materials.

The US announced $203 million in humanitarian assistance for the people of Sudan. Sudan's out of control civil war has caused the largest refugee crisis in the world with 11 million Sudanese having fled their homes in the face of violence. The war is also causing the gravest food crisis in the world, with a record setting 25 million people facing acute food insecurity, and fears that nearly a million will face famine in the next months. This aid brings the total aid the US has given Sudan since September 2023 to $1.6 billion, making America the single largest donor to Sudan.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau put forward a new rule that would better regulate popular paycheck advance products. 2/3rds of workers are payed every two weeks or once a month and since 2020 the number of short term loans that allow employees to receive their paycheck days before it’s scheduled to hit their account has grown by 90%. the CFPB says that many of these programs are decided with employers not employees and millions of Americans are paying fees they didn't know about before signing up. The new rule would require lenders to tell costumers up front about any and all fees and charges, as well as cracking down on deceptive "tipping" options.

Note

I have another request for you. Yandere hashira plus kanao Aoi and the wives with a reader who’s like howl from howls moving castle in that they’re magical and have a moving castle alongside being very whiny. Please And thank you, also sorry if I’ve been requesting you too much.

Here’s your request and I hope you enjoy it!

Giyu Tomioka

Giyu doesn’t fully understand your magic, but that doesn’t stop him from being captivated by you. Your moving castle is a wonder to him, though he doesn’t dare to say so aloud. When you flop dramatically onto a couch, sighing, “I can’t believe the world is so cruel to someone as beautiful as me,” Giyu quietly sits nearby, glancing at you with concern.

He’s not great at words, so he shows his obsession in other ways—fixing small broken parts of the castle, silently leaving gifts, or standing watch outside for hours to ensure no one intrudes. While he’d never say it, Giyu enjoys your melodramatic side. It makes you seem approachable, even if he still struggles to respond to your over-the-top moments. If you ever cry or get truly upset, Giyu would stay by your side silently, unable to handle the thought of you being unhappy.

His yandere tendencies manifest in his quiet protectiveness. You may not notice it at first, but Giyu subtly ensures no one else gets too close to you. Anyone trying to enter your moving castle without his approval is silently dealt with.

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi finds your dramatic behavior both infuriating and endearing. He constantly scolds you, yelling things like, “Quit whining about your hair! It looks fine!” whenever you launch into a tirade about how your beauty has been ruined by a rogue spell. But underneath his bluster is a fierce protectiveness.

He’s obsessed with keeping your castle—and by extension, you—safe. He’s always patrolling its perimeter or barking at others to stay away. If anyone dares to criticize your theatrics, Sanemi is the first to snap, threatening them with his blade. Deep down, he secretly loves your complaining because it gives him an excuse to step in and “fix” things for you, whether you actually need him to or not.

His yandere tendencies are loud and aggressive. Sanemi doesn’t shy away from making his obsession known, often chasing off potential rivals with threats or outright violence.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kyojuro is utterly enchanted by you. Your magical nature and flamboyant personality are like a magnet for his boundless enthusiasm. Whenever you collapse in despair, saying something like, “This is the worst day of my life! My outfit is ruined!” Kyojuro springs into action, loudly proclaiming, “Fear not! I shall bring you the finest silks and garments to replace it!”

He sees your moving castle as a place of wonder and excitement, always eager to explore its many magical rooms. Kyojuro’s protective instincts go into overdrive whenever someone approaches the castle uninvited. He views your melodramatic outbursts as a sign of how special you are, and he cherishes the opportunity to be the one to cheer you up.

His yandere tendencies are fiery but warm, manifesting as over-the-top devotion. He doesn’t realize how suffocating his constant presence might be; he just wants to ensure you’re happy and safe.

Gyomei Himejima

Gyomei treats you like a fragile work of art. Your whiny personality only amplifies his desire to care for you. When you lament, “I can’t go on! My magic is failing, and I’m utterly helpless!” he gently reassures you with his calming presence, saying, “I will take care of everything. You have nothing to fear.”

Gyomei is fascinated by your moving castle but views it as a dangerous place where others might try to reach you. He often meditates outside its doors, silently guarding against intruders. His yandere tendencies are quiet but intense—he will do anything to keep you safe, even if it means isolating you from the outside world.

Muichiro Tokito

Muichiro is drawn to the magical nature of your moving castle, often losing himself in its shifting rooms and enchanted mechanisms. He doesn’t mind your whining; in fact, he finds it strangely comforting. When you pout, “Why must everything be so difficult?!” Muichiro tilts his head and calmly offers to help, his voice monotone but sincere.

He has a quiet, obsessive streak that grows the more time he spends with you. Muichiro doesn’t fully understand why he feels the need to keep others away from your castle, but his possessiveness manifests in subtle ways. He’ll quietly sabotage anyone who tries to get too close or linger too long.

Mitsuri Kanroji

Mitsuri absolutely adores you, quirks and all. Your dramatic outbursts make her heart flutter, and she’s always ready to cheer you up. When you sigh, “I’m doomed! My life is ruined!” Mitsuri clings to you, gushing, “You’re the most amazing person ever! Don’t say such sad things!”

She’s completely smitten with your magical abilities, often following you around your castle and marveling at everything you do. Mitsuri’s yandere tendencies come from her overwhelming love—she wants to be the only one who can make you smile and will fiercely protect you from anyone she sees as a threat to your happiness.

Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu finds your dramatics amusing and uses them as an excuse to keep you reliant on her. “Oh dear, you poor thing,” she says with a sweet smile when you complain about a spell gone wrong. She loves solving your problems, but only after you’ve had a good moment to stew in your misery—just long enough to remind you how much you need her.

Her obsession manifests in subtle manipulation. Shinobu ensures you depend on her for everything, from calming your magical mishaps to managing the upkeep of your castle. Anyone who tries to interfere with her role in your life is dealt with quietly but effectively.

Tengen Uzui and His Wives

• Tengen loves your dramatic personality, often joining in with his own flamboyant flair. When you throw yourself onto a chaise lounge, moaning about how “My beauty is fading!” Tengen dramatically retorts, “Nonsense! No one is more glamorous than you and me!” He sees your moving castle as a stage for his own performances and thrives in the chaos.

• Suma is your emotional twin, crying alongside you whenever something goes wrong. “You’re right! Life is so unfair!” she sobs, holding onto you for comfort.

• Makio acts annoyed but secretly loves your antics. “Get a grip already!” she yells, though she’s always the first to chase off anyone who bothers you.

• Hinatsuru is calm and nurturing, always ready with a solution to your problems. She quietly encourages your dependence on her, ensuring you see her as indispensable.

Together, they make a fearsome and obsessive group, each vying for your attention in their own way while ensuring your moving castle remains a fortress no one else can breach.

Aoi Kanzaki

Aoi pretends to be irritated by your antics, sighing loudly whenever you start complaining. But deep down, she loves taking care of you. When you groan, “I can’t possibly deal with this today!” she huffs, “Fine, I’ll handle it. Just sit there and don’t make it worse.”

She’s fiercely protective of your castle, often taking over its kitchen and ensuring you’re well-fed and cared for. Her yandere tendencies are quiet but intense—she won’t hesitate to chase off anyone who tries to interfere with your life.

Kanao Tsuyuri

Kanao is utterly captivated by you and your magical world. She follows you silently, her fixation growing with every passing day. Whenever you whine, “Why can’t things ever go my way?” she silently offers you flowers or helps with your chores, desperate for your approval.

Her yandere tendencies are subtle but dangerous. She quietly ensures no one else can get close to you, hiding in your castle and sabotaging any rivals before they become a threat.

Obanai Iguro

Obanai is deeply intrigued and simultaneously wary of your moving castle. At first, he sees it as a threat—a dangerous, unpredictable force that could take you away from him at any moment. However, as he learns more about its intricacies, he becomes obsessed with it, viewing it as a representation of your brilliance and mystery.

Obanai patrols the exterior relentlessly, ensuring no one unworthy enters. Kaburamaru often slithers ahead to scout the castle’s shifting rooms, reporting back to Obanai in his own way. Obanai doesn’t trust the magic entirely and makes it his personal mission to understand every corner of the castle, believing that controlling it means controlling your safety.

Inside, he’s uneasy with how vast and ever-changing the castle is, as it feels like it could hide secrets from him. He tends to linger in the spaces you frequent most, always staying close but just out of your direct line of sight. He’s particularly drawn to watching you use your magic, mesmerized by the way you command the castle’s mechanisms.

When you whine about the castle misbehaving—“Why does the door always send me to the wrong place?!”—Obanai calmly steps in. “You shouldn’t rely so much on something so fickle. Let me handle it for you.” He doesn’t say it aloud, but he secretly loves when the castle frustrates you because it gives him the chance to step in and “fix” things.

How would they react to their darlings castle

Giyu Tomioka

Giyu is quietly in awe of your moving castle but doesn’t openly express it. He spends hours observing it from a distance, mesmerized by the intricate gears and magical mechanisms. Though he doesn’t fully understand its magic, he respects its connection to you. He’s fiercely protective of the castle, often standing guard at its entrance to ward off potential intruders.

Inside, Giyu feels overwhelmed by its endless, shifting rooms. He tends to linger in quieter spaces, where he can watch you work your magic. He loves the castle because it’s your sanctuary, but he secretly despises how it allows you the freedom to move wherever you please, making it harder for him to keep track of you.

Yandere Move: Giyu might subtly manipulate the door’s magical settings to ensure the castle only travels to places where he can protect you.

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi initially complains about the moving castle, calling it “a deathtrap” or “ridiculous nonsense,” but he’s secretly impressed by its complexity. He’s incredibly possessive of the castle and sees it as a fortress that he must defend at all costs. He patrols the exterior constantly, glaring at anyone who dares approach.

Inside, Sanemi finds the ever-changing layout frustrating. He’s the type to yell, “Why the hell does this hallway lead to a bathroom now?!” Yet, he loves how unique it is because it’s yours. He doesn’t trust anyone else inside the castle and will go as far as to physically drag out visitors he doesn’t like.

Yandere Move: Sanemi might try to limit access to the castle, breaking the door’s mechanisms so that only he can control where it travels.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kyojuro is utterly captivated by the moving castle and treats it as a living testament to your brilliance. He’s the type to loudly declare, “What a magnificent creation! It is as unique and splendid as you are!” He’s fascinated by its magical design and spends hours exploring every nook and cranny, marveling at its shifting structure.

Rengoku views the castle as a symbol of your incredible potential, which makes him even more devoted to protecting you. He wants to help maintain it, constantly offering to assist with repairs or upgrades. However, he gets jealous of how easily the castle can take you away from him.

Yandere Move: Rengoku might secretly sabotage the castle’s magical door to ensure it always leads back to him, no matter where you try to go.

Gyomei Himejima

Gyomei views the moving castle as a sacred and wondrous place. He admires its craftsmanship and sees it as an extension of your soul. Gyomei is deeply protective of the castle, often praying for its safety and ensuring that no harm comes to it.

He appreciates the serenity of certain rooms within the castle, often meditating in quiet spaces while keeping an ear out for any signs of trouble. However, Gyomei also worries about how much freedom the castle gives you, fearing that it might lead you into danger.

Yandere Move: Gyomei would use his strength to seal off parts of the castle or block the door entirely, claiming it’s for your safety.

Muichiro Tokito

Muichiro finds the moving castle endlessly fascinating. He’s captivated by its shifting rooms and magical mechanisms, often wandering aimlessly through its corridors, lost in thought. To him, the castle feels like a dream made real, and he associates it entirely with you.

Muichiro’s possessiveness grows as he spends more time in the castle. He starts to see it as his home as much as yours and subtly begins rearranging things to suit his preferences. He doesn’t care if the layout confuses others; he loves the fact that only you and he seem to truly understand it.

Yandere Move: Muichiro might enchant certain rooms to lead only to him, ensuring you’ll always end up by his side, no matter where you go.

Mitsuri Kanroji

Mitsuri is completely enchanted by your moving castle, gushing about how magical and romantic it is. “It’s like something out of a fairy tale!” she exclaims, her eyes sparkling with wonder. She loves exploring its rooms, marveling at the whimsical details and magical touches that reflect your personality.

Mitsuri views the castle as a perfect symbol of your love story—she even dreams of living there with you forever. However, her obsession with the castle and its connection to you makes her fiercely protective. She gets visibly upset if anyone else enters the castle without her approval.

Yandere Move: Mitsuri might start decorating the castle with items that remind you of her, subtly marking the space as hers.

Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu is deeply intrigued by the moving castle and its magic. She spends hours studying its mechanisms, hoping to understand how it works. While she admires its brilliance, she also sees it as a potential threat—it allows you too much freedom, and she doesn’t like the idea of you wandering off without her knowledge.

Inside the castle, Shinobu maintains a calm demeanor but subtly asserts control. She “helps” you by organizing your magical tools and ingredients, all while making sure certain parts of the castle are inaccessible to others.

Yandere Move: Shinobu might create potions to alter the castle’s magic, ensuring it only responds to her or prevents you from traveling too far.

Tengen Uzui and His Wives

• Tengen is immediately enamored with the castle’s grandeur, declaring it “flamboyant!” He loves the idea of living in such a unique and magical space, especially since it matches his larger-than-life personality. However, Tengen quickly becomes possessive, insisting that he should be the one to help maintain and control it.

• Suma is easily overwhelmed by the castle’s size and shifting rooms, often getting lost and clinging to you for comfort. She adores the magic but is nervous about the freedom it gives you to leave.

• Makio pretends to be unimpressed by the castle but secretly loves it. She sees it as a fortress to protect you from the outside world and takes it upon herself to monitor who enters and exits.

• Hinatsuru appreciates the castle’s magic and quietly ensures it’s always running smoothly. She’s the calmest of the three and subtly manipulates the castle’s layout to ensure it feels like home for all of you.

Yandere Move: The group might conspire to enchant the castle so it only moves to places they approve of, ensuring they always know where you are.

Aoi Kanzaki

Aoi is both impressed and annoyed by your moving castle. She mutters things like, “Does everything about you have to be so over the top?” while secretly admiring its magical beauty. She takes it upon herself to manage the castle’s daily operations, especially the kitchen, and becomes increasingly territorial over her role.

Though she pretends to dislike the castle’s constant movement, Aoi grows attached to it because it symbolizes your bond. She starts to view herself as its unofficial caretaker and resents anyone else who tries to take over her duties.

Yandere Move: Aoi might sabotage the castle’s mechanisms so it relies on her to function properly.

Kanao Tsuyuri

Kanao is utterly fascinated by the moving castle and spends hours exploring its shifting rooms. She often follows you silently, observing how you interact with the castle’s magic. To her, the castle is a reflection of your brilliance and uniqueness, which only deepens her obsession.

She becomes possessive of the castle, seeing it as a sacred space meant for you and her alone. Kanao quietly ensures that no one else lingers too long, often rearranging things or subtly leading others out of the castle.

Yandere Move: Kanao might enchant certain rooms to lead people in circles, ensuring no one can find you except for her.

Obanai Iguro

Obanai is both in awe and highly suspicious of your moving castle at first. The constantly shifting gears, magical doorways, and enchanted interior put him on edge, as he sees them as potential risks to your safety. He’s hyper-vigilant about inspecting every corner of the castle, looking for vulnerabilities or threats. “This place is too open. Anyone could use your magic against you,” he’d mutter, his tone laced with quiet concern.

Over time, Obanai grows possessive of the castle, viewing it as an extension of you. He spends countless hours patrolling its exterior and testing the magical door’s destinations to ensure no one unwanted can enter. If anyone tries to sneak in or harm the castle, he’ll handle them swiftly, ensuring your home—and by extension, your life—remains undisturbed.

Inside the castle, Obanai tends to stick close to you, often lurking in the shadows and watching as you work your magic. Kaburamaru, his snake, is also mesmerized by the castle’s mechanisms, often winding around gears or perching on your shoulder as you enchant various rooms.

Yandere move: Obanai knows the magical door is one of the most important parts of your castle, allowing you to travel anywhere and interact with the outside world. He would quietly alter the mechanisms behind it, redirecting its destinations to only safe, isolated places he approves of. If someone tries to use the door to reach you, they’ll find themselves transported to a desolate area far from your castle—or trapped in a dangerous location where they’re unlikely to return.

The Vatican: Human Trafficking Hub

The Vatican Underground- Cleared

The Dulce Base- Underground Cleared

The Area 51 Underground Base- Cleared

Orion Group ❌ (Defeated)

Ciakharr Group ❌ (Defeated)

Killy Tokurt Group ❌ (Defeated)

These are the three main factions responsible for the

The CIA is connected to the Killy Tokurt Ops. They are the one who specialize in soul scalping. This is how our government leaders were replaced. Removing the light body & soul and replacing it with a physical vessel void of any connection to source.

Sherry Shriner covered this in many videos/audios. Megan Rose spoke about this in one of her books. Corey Goode is also another source who spoke on the caste system of the Ciakharr who are the top elite in their race.

Remember when I mentioned that people were not ready once they found out who have been eating the children? Guess what was the capitol for the "Child Sex Trafficking" breeding hub?

The Vatican.

Do you remember the story or report that came out in July of 2019 where thousands of bones was unearthed in two ossuaries discovered in the Vatican City, as part of an ongoing search for clues into the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl more than three decades ago in 1983?

Do you remember the mass grave full of baby bones found along the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon in 2014?

Do you remember An Indigenous group said the remains of as many as 751 people, mainly children, had been found in unmarked graves on the site of a former boarding school in Saskatchewan?

As a matter of fact that was a 2,300 page document that leaked that verified Pope Francis’ cover up of a Vatican Pedophile Ring. Did you know 20 Chilean Priests who went public on their connection to that very same Pedophile Ring, were killed in a plane crash right after their meeting with Pope Francis?

Back on July 20 2014 the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels found defendants Pope Francis Bergoglio, Catholic Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Pachon and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby guilty of rape, torture, murder and the trafficking of children. (Nothing Is Happening?)

I highly doubt it.

Two adolescent women told the ICLCJ Court that Pope Francis raped them while participating in child sacrifices during the Springs of 2009 and 2010 in rural Holland and Belgium. According to a former employee of the Curia in Rome, rapes and murders of children also took place at the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and an undisclosed French Chateau.

A Prosecutor introduced notarized affidavits by eight others claiming to witness these same crimes organized by the Vatican. Another witness testified that they were present during meetings with the then Argentine priest and Bishop Francis and the military Junta during Argentine’s 1970′s Dirty War.

According to the witness, Francis helped traffic 30,000 children of missing political prisoners into the Vatican Pedophile Ring.

Do you know why this has taken so long? If you knew how vast these underground tunnels are you would understand why certain EOs signed by D. Trump kept getting extensions.

The Military at some point will disclose the battles that went underground.

The weapons used.

The strategies used.

The entries/exits used.

The medical technology used.

The portals/gateways that were used.

You got a glimpse of this during the fight that went on underground with the Phil Schneider lectures that still can be found on YouTube about the Dulce extraterrestrial confrontation that resulted in lives being lost and him being scarred from it.

People are only looking at the human aspect of this process. They are not looking at this as governments officials serving a unknown species that want world dominion who is an entire different secret government whose base are in these DUMBS-(Deep Underground Military Bases) who control all of our 3 letter agencies who are middlemen/conduits who these covert species use to control Washington. 🤔

This might be a weird question but I can't think of a better person to ask! My nibling recently came out as non-binary and wants to change their name, but they're struggling to find something they are happy with.

They were given a feminine name at birth and are currently using a masculine name, but aren't happy with either of them. Every human name that's suggested to them is either too masc, too femme, or has poor associations. However, they love frogs, so I wondered if that might be a solution.

I've tried to find frog names that might work as a human name, but so far I'm not having much luck. It's not allowed to start with R or J, and apparently it's not allowed to have an X in it because nibling thinks they're "not cool enough" to carry that off (I've tried explaining that they're wrong, but 16 year olds are very sensitive).

If this isn't too weird a question, can you think of any frog or toad names that might be manageable as human names? We live in the UK for reference

So many thanks for even reading this giant info dump 💕

Wow this is only the second time I have gotten to help find a name for a human. What an honour.

Okay firstly, sounds 100% like your nibling is cool enough to use an X (despite my current negative emotions associated with the letter due to the Elongated Muskrat), and there are some *amazing* names out there with X's in, so they should at least consider them. Scinax and Ixalus for instance are great. Ixalus has a fun history: originally it was coined as a replacement name for Orchestes, which wasn't available because there was already a beetle genus called Orchestes. But then it turned out that Ixalus was *also* not available, because the world's most beautiful antelope, the bongo, was already called Ixalus. Only, the bongo had already been called Tragelaphus. So now Ixalus isn't the name used for *any* animal. Ixalus is Greek, meaning 'bounding, springing, spry'. Also there are numerous other frog genera that use the ending -ixalus, such as Heterixalus, Micrixalus, etc.

But, taking the lack of X seriously, here are some other alternatives. I will avoid names that are derived from other people's names, and focus on names that have a neutral ring to my ear, and are also euphonious (nice to say or hear) and fewer than four syllables. I am also only considering genus names, because there are too many species names to choose from:

Acris — meaning sharp, sour, bitter, pungent, sharp, keen, acute, energetic, eager, etc. Technically this is the feminine version of the adjective; the neuter version is Acre, but I do not think anyone would read 'Acris' and immediately think either gender. It is supposed to be pronounced with a long a, as in 'hard', but a lot of people pronounce it with a hard a as in 'ace'. This name is most familiar to Americans, because Acris are cricket frogs, widespread in the US.

[Acris crepitans, src]

Mantis — of course, the genus Mantis was coined by Linnaeus in 1758, and so it is unambiguous that this is not a frog name. However, it is very often used as part of frog taxonomic names, such as Chiromantis, Boehmantis, Guibemantis, Gephyromantis, Phlyctimantis etc. Mantis is Greek (μάντης), and means oracle, prophet, soothsayer, seer, clairvoyant, or fortune teller. The name has the feminine gender in its language of origin, but that has no bearing on its use, which, barring the character in the Marvel movies, does not seem particularly gendered to me.

[Pristimantis cruentus, src]

Dasypops — simply a delightful name, but probably not neutral enough. I have not been able to figure out what the etymology is; it might be a play on Dasypus, the Greek word meaning 'rough-footed', which is a genus of armadillos. The frog is also spectacular, but there are no photos I can legally share on tumblr.

Kaloula — a euphonic name with an unclear meaning. Very round frogs. I love them.

[Kaloula pulchra, src]

Adelotus — means 'unseen'. These are 'tusked frogs'. Males have crazy extensions of lower jaw bones, and they fight with them.

[Adelotus brevis, src]

Taruga — a Sanskrit name meaning 'tree climber'. I fucking love this name, and the frogs are just *chef's kiss* POINTY, and have really committed to bold colours.

[Taruga eques, src]

EDIT: I have been informed that taruga means ‘blockhead’ or ‘numb skull’ in Spanish, so it might not be the best choice. Sorry!

If the nibling would like to check out a list of genera themselves, there is a tolerably complete list here.

I hope this helps!

Straw Hats x Fem Gardener S/O platonic fluff HCs! The main reason I request this? FLOWER CROWNS! But also, S/O is good at growing crops and flowers, so she must have a greenhouse on deck to grow fruits, tangerines, vegetables, any medicinal herbs, flowers, anything! So helpful and sweet! And also, FLOWER CROWNS!

★ WITH A FEM GARDENER CREWMATE! headcanons ★

── featuring. the strawhats.

── cw. f!reader. no pronouns used. platonic. very brief mention of homesickness. not proofread.

── notepad. sigh i love you platonic and domestic hcs of the strawhats. you complete me <333

never in all of your years did you think you would find yourself gardening on the sea with a group who had come like family to you, a group you couldn't see yourself living without

building your new greenhouse on the deck was a group effort because it was supposed to be a surprise for you

you loved being at sea with the strawhats, you wouldn't trade it for the world. but it didn't stop you from missing home

a spring island somewhere out there, where the love and life are just as plentiful as the beautiful green that covers it

to bring a piece of your home back to you, the strawhats all chip to help make you a greenhouse where you continue your gardening while on the sea. something you never thought you could do

you somehow didn't find out about what they were planning, despite a few of your crewmates being blabbermouths.

after a girl's day in the island port town, you landed on a few days ago with nami and robin, you finally see it.

"surprise!" your crewmates, your family, jumps out all covered in wood chips and paint of all colors. some were covered in more paint than others. you swore your captain was wearing a yellow shirt that day, but with the amount of blue on it, it may as well have been blue.

you love your greenhouse! well, it wasn't just your greenhouse anymore. it was another place for you and your crewmates to spend time together.

it's the perfect place to have early lunches on sunny days and a late dinner on calm and cool nights under warm string lights.

your extensive knowledge of plants and your natural green thumb make you a versatile member of the crew.

on one end of your greenhouse, you were growing medical herbs for chopper's research and medicines. on another side, you made a special place for nami's tangerine trees you helped her take great care of.

on another corner were many vegetables for sanji's amazing dishes. and close by were the sweetest fruits in all of the grand line that would sometimes go missing the next morning

which is why you have decided to start locking up the greenhouse at night.

but who can forget, the flower crowns !!

a small gesture that would have a lasting impact on each of them, all with their own flower that you believed best represented them based on the flowers' meanings and your crew's personalities.

luffy puts his crown around his hat. when the flowers start to die and lose their color, he will become sad and ask you to make another one for him to replace it.

zoro was confused as to what exactly you wanted him to do with it until you motioned for him to put it on his head. it's uhhh...definitely not for him. but you're like a sister to him so if you flash puppy eyes, he'll wear it

sanji finds the crown you made for him adorable. he finds you even more charming for going out of your way to make it for him. he doesn't deserve such gifts from you but he is happy to wear them to make you happy. he preserves them so he can hold onto them forever.

robin definitely helps you make the flower crowns with all those extra pairs of hands that she has. like sanji, robin preserves the flower crowns that you give her. she will take a piece of them and put them in resin to make homemade jewelry from.

jinbei is your favorite to make flower crowns for. with all of his long beautiful hair, you are constantly putting big, colorful flowers in his hair because he sits there and just lets you do it. sometimes he'll even put flowers in your hair. flower pals !!

brook, like jinbei, enjoys it when you put flower crowns and stick flowers in his hair over cups of tea.

usopp pretends that he doesn't want one, but he secretly does. so after he politely declines and you (pretend to) take his word for it and walk away, he's so sad. pls no, give it to him !!

chopper loves making flower crowns with you. he could make them all day. he loves wearing several of them on his antlers, so he can spin, turn, and dance and they flow in the wind.

nami loves extravagant flower crowns. the bigger and more colorful, the better. she will throw little hints that she really wants one made of sunflowers and roses, such as saying how much she really REALLY wants one, and will sigh out loud when she's in front of the flowers. so when you actually surprise her with one, she's so happy she could squeeze the life out of you. you're her favorite for a reason

franky is so gentle with his flower crown. he's terrified that he may accidentally break or bruise the flowers that you worked so hard to put together. he will pull out the tiny yellow hand to put it on or take it off. he is going to make this thing last !!

What are some differences between the courts of the warm and cold fairies?

Not to overcomplicate the politics of Pixie Hollow of all places, but while Clarion is probably the first face 3/4 of fairies ever SAW in their lives, the first fairy they actually spoke to, the other 1/4... probably didn't even know what their Queen looked like in the first place. It's crazy 😭

That's a good one. There's a lot:

First of all, food. The warm seasons have an abundance. Nuts, berries, honey. There is no need for rationing in Spring or Summer or Autumn after the harvest. Their fairies have never even had to be worried about going hungry. It's not even a concept to them. But Winter has to ration its provisions. Their fairies have to learn the hard way that you have to be careful with what you have, otherwise you might lose it and there's no replacing it. You learn to be responsible the hard way when you realize one bad decision can result in an empty stomach. Same thing with showing affection through gifts. Gifts and offerings are precious in Winter, reserved for the closest friends.

Up next: clothes. The warm seasons dress beautifully, all vibrant colours and open toe shoes and hairclips and whatnot. In Winter, they have more military-like outfits. Sturdy and strong fabrics that won't get soaked through in a storm or torn to pieces by a hungry predator. So they think the warm seasons don't take their jobs as seriously because they dress to impress (which obviously isn't accurate, but that's how prejudice works)

Physical touch. Winter, despite the warm fairies thinking the fairies there as cold and standoffish, entertains casual relationships. Besides the obvious practicality of sharing heat, their lives are tough and structured. They take what fun they can have. They are tight knit and close after being forced into isolation for so long. But if they fall in love, it's all in. That's why Milori was so determined to sacrifice himself for Clarion within a month of knowing her. Winter fairies love passionately and recklessly and wholly, because they know loss and grief.

Another thing that comes to mind is daily life in general. In the warm seasons, there's one band of scouts to protect them all from hawks and comets and anything else that might happen. In winter, that's not going to fly. Everyone receives training. Everyone knows offensive flying. They can't go on patrols and guard their homes against wolves and bats otherwise. It's part of their tradition and they seriously blame the warm seasons on their lack of preparation.

All in all, there's a million things. Politically speaking, the warm seasons know and trust Clarion because as you said, she's always been there. To Winter, she is an urban legend. They have their own history. Their own rules. Their own lines of leaders. In trying to unite the realms, Clarion unwittingly made Elvina's plan come true, but in reserve. She didn't shut them out. She locked herself away from them, and didn't realize the rest of the warm seasons would follow by extension.

So naturally, trying to come to terms with that while navigating a new relationship is going to be A LOT. My babies are really going through it. 😭😅

The University of North Texas is actively censoring Palistinian art and art in general in it's main galary.

My college usually allows students to exhibit their art in the main building where all the meeting/food/shops etc are. And there was this pretty well done pro Palestinian exhibit showing this month. The exhibit space being at a cross section where you go to get food/enter so it had a lot of traffic and was unmissable

This caused a bit of stirring as although alot of the remarks were positive, they were accused antisemitism by a couple of texas politicians. Causing the artist themselves to take down the "offending" peice.( this being the teddy bear bomb one).

The exhibit handlers also usually have small books left out so that people could leave comments on the exhibit in them. Although the comments were mostly positive. In this case the comments had a lot of pro Israel/anti Palestinian remarks drawn all over it and it basically became like a message board where pro Israel and anti Israel proponents would leave comments on each other comments or scribble them out or draw on them etc.

The politicians state that using the word "genocide" makes the work antisemitic, and also called for the cancelation of a lecture titled “The Palestinian Children and Politics of Genocide,” for similar reasons

this pic is where the books should be.

I'm not sure if some one stole the books or the artists themselves took them down but they were no longer there when I cam to look at them.

this pic is where the peice was, as it was removed and replaced with an uncomfortable bench. A default thing the exhibit handlers put if there's no art occupying the space.

there were two artists working on the exibits, here are their statments

this occured many weeks back from this date so will provide presnt information concerning how UNT is reacting to this situation.

the university for multipal weeks has paused all gallery exhibitions in it's main building due to them essentially rewriting the rules to ensure something like this dosn't occured again. and all of the art exibits that were suppost to be shown now need to be re-evaluated to see if they comply to their new guidelines

"The Board of Regents hereby directs the chancellor and presidents of their respective campuses to approve and adopt policies regarding art in public spaces and that such policies be approved and adopted in full compliance with applicable and state federal and state constitution and law,” Regent Lindy Rydman said during the meeting."

"Once guidelines and policies are implemented, all exhibitions scheduled for the rest of the spring semester and the summer will need to be re-evaluated according to those guidelines, Senior Director of University Relations Melisa Brown said."

this all coming off the controversy of the palistinian displays prior.

Now, the gallery has been extensively censored, including wide barriers across it's entrances and gaps, makeing it difficult to even see whats in the gallery without actively going through the snaking entrance. Think of how you'd enter a hunted house attraction for a comparable experinace.

current entrance. before the incident there were no barriers and you could freely see inside the gallery well away from where the barriers are now.

what the entrance looks form the inside of the gallery.

new disclaimer the university added. this is seen between the newly added snakeing entrance.

for more information regarding these events here is some readings you may be able to get information from

I do not wish to leave the reader hopeless, so I will state that the prior lecture that the politicians wished to be canceled "The Palestinian Children and Politics of Genocide,” was, dispite their protest, allowed to continue and the event taken place.

Fifty Shades of Gambit

I may write fifty shades styled fics for other characters if people are interested. I just know our boy Remy would be into this, I'm going to write a Magneto one at some point thanks to the whole series of X-Men 97, he’s been so hot and slutty especially episode 8.

Series: X-Men

Gambit x dom top male reader

this could be considered a second part, or extension to In a classroom, what could go wrong, but can read it as a stand alone. I also don't know how long this may be. Also thank you and feel free to like, repost and even comment.

Remy had started to feel very pent up, since YN has been more focused on his work. Every time Remy tried to initiate something with YN, he'd be pushed off, or told later. this has been going on for weeks. did they break up and not noticed, he'd remember that surely. No, had he upset YN, had he been a naughty boy, not to his knowledge, now that got him thinking. But nothing came to mind. Absolutely nothing.

Remy was getting desperate now, would he have to resort to using the stash of toys under their bed.

it came night time and YN had yet to return to their room, alone. He begins by bringing out the purple leather case from under their bed, then strips from his clothes completely naked, looking at his reflection in the mirror, posing. Remy returns to the case to open it to reveal a range of toys the couple had used in their times.

he reaches for a tube of lube and one of the dildo's, once he was done lathering the toys in lubricant. He contemplates the position he should take. he settles on laying on his back, raising his legs as he slides the toy, it just wasn't the same. It wasn't YN, it didn't feel like anything, but he endures, he continues sliding the toy in and out. Eyes closed trying hard to imagine and replace the feeling with something more. when a moan slips.

YN outside their bedroom heard a sound, was that a moan, YN knew that sound well, but he assume Remy was with someone. No, he knew Remy would never do that to him, then YN had started thinking how long had it really been, and it hit him. he had to do something about this. opening the door to see poor Remy jamming a dildo in him

"YN, YN PLEASE" Remy whines

"AWW has my baby boy missed me ?"

Remy squeals. "YN Désolé(I'm sorry) I've been a bad boy Désolé(I'm sorry)" almost pleadingly.

"No need to apologies baby I was the one at fault I'd been to busy for you, how about I fix that, you going to be my puppy" Remy frantically nodding " S’il vous plaît (please) YN" Remy gulps nervously as he see's YN's expression harden on him, "It's not YN tonight, you know what to call me? Don't you puppy" Remy was now moaning "Oui Monsieur (yes sir)".

YN could only chuckle at the site of Remy now be a good puppy and come to me. Remy in all his excitement springs of the bed letting the toy slip out and walks towards YN once he reached YN excitedly he saw a look of disappointment flash over YN's face and all of a sudden a hand slapped him across the face and pushed him back on to the bed, causing him to moan desperately " try again puppy" Remy moaned again realising what to do he rolls off the bed and begins to crawl towards his master. Now some may thing Remy would feel humiliated and he is and he loves it so much, the sting of the slap the rough push back, he can only feel something when he's round his master YN. Once he's reached YN on his hand and knees he comes to a sitting position, hands resting on his knees right in front of his masters tented pants. "That's more like it good boy" Remy preened at the praise. "Merci, Monsieur (thank you sir)"

YN brings a hand over Remy's hair, then begins to remove his shirt and tie "hands behind your back pup" Remy places his hands behind his back with out question. YN walks around, tie in hand and binds Remy's hand together, nice and tight that the tie was biting into his wrists. "You like it tight don't you?" Remy moaned at the bite of the tie constricting against his wrists, with a nod. With that YN walked round to see the neediness in Remy's eyes, he then went to unbuckle his belt and removes it from the loops of his trousers. suddenly Remy was met with his masters crouching form. " Such a good boy, you want your collar?" Remy was salivating drooling, nodding frantically "Oui Monsieur (yes sir)". With that YN wrapped the belt around Remy's neck, YN then stands the tent still very prominent in YN's pants Remy needs it more than anything, more than he's needed it more than anything in his life, rests his face in YN's groin, the heat and musk was like a drug to Remy, one he would never quit. He begins mouthing, kissing and drooling over YN's trousers till he feels a rough tug on his collar. "You want my cock, do you?

" plus que tout (more than anything)" YN undoes the button to his trousers revealing the zipper "ok puppy lower the zip with your teeth" Remy moaned and drives his face forward sucking on the zipper, raising it with is tongue to catch it between his teeth and lowers it, the heat and smell radiating from YN's cock was much stronger once YN dropped his trousers and kicked them across the room. Remy's face buried in YN's underwear everything was heightened, so close now, so much more desperate, no longer taking the anticipation. Remy bites at the waistband and drags them down once face first with what he's been desperate for all this time. he can't stop drooling at the sight. "bad puppy I didn't give you permission to do that, what are you some mutt?" with a hard pull on the belt causing him to choke, with that Remy came on the floor moaning trying to catch his breath.

"answer me are you a mutt? another rough tug on the belt, Remy was painfully hard even after just cumming "Je suis désolé je suis désolé (I'm sorry, I'm sorry)"he was sobbing at this point. "Get on the bed mutt" YN had let go of Remy's collar, he hung his head low turning to crawl towards the bed, he then lifts himself onto the bed, his knees aching finding comfort on the bed. All Remy was met with was YN's cold predatory stare as he walked towards the bed. Remy was sweating bullets, he knew he'd been bad now, he'll take whatever punishment YN decides. YN then removes his ties from around his wrists "now lay back mutt ". Wait what's happening is this part of the punishment, but Remy does as told lying back arms and legs spread, with that YN finally smirks. moving towards the harnesses on the bed posts and starts to bind Remy's limbs. "You must be a mind reader mutt you knew what was next, maybe you wanted this, to be a naughty mutt and to be punished" Remy moaned "no sir non Monsieur" "Really look at the state of you, writhing desperately like some needy slut" Remy moaned wriggling under the restraints, cock painfully hard. Remy moaned when YN slapped his cock "look at yourself in the mirror, slut, you love this". Honestly YN knows him too well, can see right through him, he loves the feeling of being humiliated, degraded, treated like a slut, a toy solely for YN's pleasure. But he never meant to be a naughty boy for his master, he was just too excited. too eager, he wanted to please YN not disappoint or anger him. feeling his cock get slapped again and again.

"I think some extra toys are in order". YN looks through the box of toys, Remy looks over at the box to look, to see an eye mask, noise cancelling headphones, nipple clamps, a flogger and a thick purple ball gag, or as Remy likes to call it "THE JAW BREAKER", sounds bad but in all honest it's Remy's second favourite thing to suck. Remy relaxed as they get set on the bed and not getting used right away, but he's now worried more toys may get added. YN then straddles Remy feeling the weight of YN weigh on his abdomen, had him moan and writhe "I think you need claiming, don't you?, let everyone see who owns you" Remy moans as YN roughly kisses Remy Biting his lip for access, tongue slithering inside his mouth moaning as he sucks on YN's tongue and his hands roam and roughly handle his body till they reach his nipples, then Remy broke the kiss as YN harshly twists his sensitive peaks. YN kissed sloppily along his jawline leaving little bites, going down to his throat, biting leaving hickeys and licking all over, then that special spot close to his collar bone. Bite, a hard bite was left causing Remy to cry cumming all over himself. "looking pretty pup, I'm not finished though" Remy sobs as YN finally reaches his nipples, both hands roughly handling his pectoral pushing them together one hand leaves and is replaces with the wetness of YN's tongue and lips sucking and then a bite repeatedly in that order Remy's senses with overloading, over and over licking, sucking and biting his left pectoral was going to be bruised after this then with a wet pop YN's mouth retreated and replaced the hand on the right pectoral "can't neglect the other can I now pup" and hand roughly massaging his left while your mouth repeated its torturous act on his right.

With a sudden pop YN pulled away, Remy felt relief wash over him finally it was over..... It was far from over as YN lowers himself down licking, kissing, nipping at his abdomen, till he reached Remy's cock but he focused on Remy's thighs instead leaving slaps and bites all over, Remy cried thrusting up, his cock hardening, slapping against his abdomen leaving spattering of cum here and there. "Awwww does my puppy want something? Remy released a girlish scream when YN nips at his foreskin, suddenly Remy cums already lost count it sprays landing on YN's face and hair and over his own abdomen mixing with the mess already there.

YN shuffles back up Remy's body licking and kissing soothing the harsh bites he left in his wake, till he reaches Remy's blissed out tear stained face, he looked perfect like this under YN, only YN can do this to Remy. Break him down so easily reducing him to a withering pleasured out mess desperate for more. once YN's face was close enough Remy began licking and the cum off YN's face, leaning forward desperately for his master to kiss him, the kiss was hot and overwhelming as Remy sucks wontonly on YN's tongue moaning like a slut in heat. Remy suddenly gags as YN's hands wrap around his throat. Breaking the kiss, just the right amount of pressure Remy thought to himself, YN know what Remy needs before even he does, one the traits of a great master.

Remy looks up to YN, there's a hunger he hasn't seen before sudden YN shuffles up Remy's body till his hard throbbing cock is slapped against his face, Remy was lightheadedly licking, kissing worshipping YN's cock like his life depended on it, YN threw his head back groaning, muttering praises "you're such a good puppy now, my good puppy" Remy's eyes roll back like a shark as he happily suckles the precum from your tip like it was ambrosia. Remy was truly addicted to YN in every way possible. suddenly Remy gags as YN slides his thick, engorged cock down his throat with out warning. But Remy relaxed his throat and took his master like the expert he was without gagging any further, he could feel YN's cock stretching his throat, the burn and sting, caused more tears to drop down his pretty face. Then YN started to move sliding back and forth treating his poor throat like a fleshlight, Remy could feel the veins of YN's cock slowly pulse, sensing YN was close Remy tries his utmost to suck , YN threw his head back thrusting forward as he fills Remy's throat. Remy felt a sense of euphoria as he felt the thick sweet yet salty cum clog up his throat and fill his mouth, Remy tightened his lips around YN's cock not wanting YN's cum to go to waste. YN pulls Remy off by his hair still shooting painting Remy's face white with thick cum, Remy licked his lips with a moan "Merci, Monsieur" moaned brokenly with hearts in his eyes, feeling more cum land on his messy, sweaty body.

YN shuffles off Remy's body, he felt so light now. trying to even out his breathing, while he watches YN do the same. YN peers down at Remy caressing his cheek lovingly "you think you can keep going my love?". Remy nodded frantically "toute la nuit (all night long)" YN chucked at the response, seeing the hearts in Remy's eyes, he's clearly drunk on him. H kisses Remy once again Remy slobbering and moaning into the kiss even going as far as licking YN's face again "I've broken your mind, haven't I puppy?" Remy nods even more frantically even making dog like sounds. "Ok puppy, your my good boy right "

"Bark Bark" Remy really was gone now, just your good boy right?.

YN sits beside Remy stroking the hair that clings to his sweaty forehead. "Good boy" Remy just pants like a dog. one hand leaves his head causing Remy to whine, then sees the hand was hovering over the toys, their was a spark of recognition and anticipation washing over his features. YN's takes the nipple clamps, placing one on his left, Remy moans and yips and the bite of the clamp against his hard peak, then slowly placing the last clamp over his right nipple, Remy cums yet again. "Good boy, who's a good boy?" "woof woof" "That right you are, my good boy" YN then removes the restraints on Remy's limbs. Remy suddenly rolls over both hands on his ass cheeks parting them, presenting himself to his master whining feeling the drag of metal on his nipples, face buried in the duvet, YN roughly massages Remy's beautiful ass cheeks, occasionally giving them a pinch or a slap and sometimes a soft kiss, that has Remy preening contently. YN shuffles forward grinding his cock against the cleft of Remy's perfect ass, Remy grinding back, whining "Ok puppy, Ready?" "Bark woof Ba..r.r...k, ohh mon Dieu, c'est si profond (oh my so deep)" punched out of Remy as YN suddenly snaps his cock inside Remy, he begins to howl at the rough abusive pace YN was going beating his prostate brutally making his eyes roll back, tongue lapped out drooling "Bark bark " Remy rocks back meeting every one of YN's thrusts, arms aching Remy drops them and curls them around his tummy feeling the sticky mess but even more important the bulge of YN's cock so deep in his guts, the burn was euphoric, the sting were kisses to his insides, rearranging reaching even deeper, he was sure YN had to have a breeding kink or pregnancy kink with how rough and deep he'd be filling him, how after every time he'd feel his tummy fill up and bulge with his cum.

Suddenly YN stops his vicious thrusts, Remy however continues to thrust himself back moaning and panting like a dog. YN's hands roam Remy's body, searing to the touch, yet one hand leaves for a toy the eye mask the other hand pulling Remy up by his hair, with a cry Remy yelps only to see in front of his face your hand holding the eye mask, still thrusting himself back on YN's cock he licks and kisses YN's hand. YN takes that as a yes, YN then uses both hands to place the mask over Remy's eyes, it was all dark suddenly feeling hands return to his body he throws himself back on YN's cock recklessly causing the bed to creak and grind. But no one in this room cares, not one bit.

Remy begins moaning as YN rests on top of him feeling the heat wash over him, his breath against his ear as he nibbles the lobe, the arms wrap around him tightly and raise him up, Remy's cock bouncing pathetically in the air with each snap of hips as skin slaps skin.

Remy cums on the duvet as YN bites his earlobe quite harshly "Bark Bark" Remy whimpers out enjoying the sting and the snap of his body meeting YN's. One hand wraps around Remy's throat pulling the collar to keep him in place while he collected the noise cancelling headphones and slides them on Remy.

YN lets go of the collar, Remy had lost all strength long ago, flopping down head first into the soiled duvet. "BARK!!! BARK!!!!! woooof Wofffff!!!!! WOOOOOF!!!". as YN thrusts at a ruthless pace, abusing his insides, breaking him from the inside out, YN pulls on the collar again only to let go letting Remy flop again in his own mess. "WOOF!!!! BARRRRKKK!!! YIP!!!!!". Remy feels the ruthless slamming losing its rhythm, sloppy pace beating and branding Remy's insides, he could feel the pulse and convulsions of YN's cock with a final hard thrust spearing Remy "WOOFFFFF!!!!!! BaRRRRK!!!!! WooooooooF!!!" Remy is being filled to the brim with YN's cum, Remy was preening feeling himself feebly cum thin, pearly cum. All the while feeling his tummy swell with your cum, as he rubs himself, whining.

Remy mind broken, feels himself being held tightly in place, a hand carefully removing the headphones and eye mask, Remy was startled by everything around him except for the reassuring hand of YN, to keep him grounded. "How woof loud was bark I mon amour?.

"not that loud my love, you're my good boy aren't you?" Remy tiredly nods receiving a gentle kiss to his forehead then his lips would you like the JAW BREAKER now babe, Remy nodded as YN brings it over and places it in Remy's mouth as YN connects the straps . YN still inside Remy carefully shuffles so that they could sleep on their sides.

The next morning.....

Remy wakes up in YN's tight embrace feeling the wet pearly slick pooled on the duvet from his used hole. YN must have slipped out in the night he thinks to himself. Suddenly the grip tightens and YN's hard length grinding against him, Remy decides to remove the gag, to ease his aching jaw "Someone's up" Remy sleepily moans, rubbing his jaw, as YN slides his length back inside Remy's used hole the grip tighten and YN rolls Remy onto him "I want my good boy to ride me" Remy rests his hands tiredly on YN's chest as his tight grip lowers to his hips. Remy begins rolling his hips slowly, rising up and down nice and slowly for his tired body. "Like this sir" Remy purred "just like that, good boy". YN helped raise Remy's body up and pushed his thighs down roughly spearing his cock deeply inside, this continued, Remy didn't know he had tears left to cry after last night. All of a sudden with a harsh trust upwards Remy moans loudly as he came on YN's abdomen thin, watery cum, feeling YN cum inside him again. YN lets Remy droop against his shoulder kissing his hair " you're my good boy, i love you so much Remy" Je t'aime aussie monsieur(I love you too sir)" YN tilts Remy's face to kiss his lips "pouvez-vous me brancher monsieur? (can you plug me up sir?). YN nodded fumbling about till he reaches the box that had been knocked on the floor, must have been while they slept. The couple get off the messy stained bed and go through the toys on the floor till Remy found the thick purple butt plug and decides to take that inserting it himself with a moan.

the couple finally washing up and getting ready for the day. as they reach the dining room they see the tired faces of the x-men, "Hey gang how'd you sleep" "WE DIDN'T" with a resound uproar.

beauty on a budget for someone new to the lifestyle?

since you’re only starting out, you’ll probably want to focus on affordable products and diy and at home beauty treatments.

you can get affordable skin care products from brands like cerave, cetaphil, and the ordinary. you’ll find all your essential cleansers, serums, exfoliators and moisturizers. you can order facial sheet masks in bulk cheap from amazon. you can also use aztec secret healing clay as a clay masque. skip the guasha altogether and follow a youtube tutorial for face sculpting massages instead.

good quality affordable makeup brands I used when I was nearly broke included e.l.f., nyx, wet n’ wild, maybelline, and makeup revolution. look into some other drug store brands within your budget and check reviews before you buy anything so you don’t waste your money. get generic beauty blenders and powder puffs, you’ll be replacing them often anyway so it’s best to get them cheap. you can buy cheap big makeup brush sets on amazon that’ll last a long time if you clean them regularly and take care of them.

press on nails and home manicures / pedicures will save you a ton of money and time. find a good manicure kit and pumice stone. buy a dollar store basin and some epsom salts to soak your feet. for press on nails I usually get mine from temu or brands like kiss and impress. if you just want to paint your natural nails, get a gel polish like l.a. colors color craze gel or sally hansen miracle gel. if you want to go the extra mile, invest in the supplies and learn how to do your own acrylics or gel manicures.

learn how to wax, shape, and tint your own eyebrows. you can buy an affordable diy wax kit like this one and use youtube tutorials on how to find the most flattering brow shape. (as a bonus, the hard waxing kit can also be used to remove unwanted hair on the rest of your body.) you can also find cheap brow tinting kits that usually last up to five uses at sally’s beauty supply and various other stores online.

if you want your lashes done, you can either get really, really good at applying a strip lash – my go to affordable brands are ardell and kiss – or you can invest in some bulk lash clusters and the falscara diy eyelash extension kit. figure out what lash placement will best compliment your features, then watch lots and lots of youtube tutorials on how to use it and practice, practice, practice. they take some getting used to.

when it comes to hair care, the very first thing you want to do is figure out your hair type with a quiz like this one and find what it needs to look and feel healthy. I have 2A hair, so I would pretty much always spring for nexxus for something moisturizing and lightweight, but I’ve heard great things about ogx, shea moisture, not your mother’s, maui moisture, l’oreal elvive, and garnier whole blends which are great for other hair types, densities, and textures. all these brands carry a wide variety of products from shampoo, to leave in treatments, to hair masques, to curl cream — you get it. again, read reviews. you can also use a cotton t-shirt to dry and plop your hair instead of spending money on a microfiber towel, and a satin scarf wrapped around your head to protect your hair while sleeping instead of a silk bonnet and pillow case.

if you’re into styling your hair, two of my favorite methods are heatless styling and blowouts. for heatless styling, you may not even need to purchase any new styling tools. I started out using this heatless robe curl method and eventually started doing other heatless styling methods like the ones on this playlist once I started buying more tools, and did styles like these when I didn’t feel like setting my hair at all. for styles that require heat, a highly suggest investing in a dyson airwrap – which can do pretty much everything – so you don’t end up spending even more on an arsenal of hot styling tools.

good luck, sugar

xoxo

You mentioned that Minimus got hurt once because of the twins' shenanigans. How did that happen?

[hey so i don't know if you were expecting 900 words of fanfic in response but your ask inspired me to write longform for the first time in weeks so thanks]

When Ravage hears the commotion, his first thought is 'the twins'. This assumption is proven correct when Rumble and Frenzy come sprinting around the corner, laughing to one another. They run past Ravage, offering him little more than hurried waves as they flee the scene of their crime.

It is a routine so familiar it might as well be ritual.

Then comes the next part of the ritual, this one rather recent, but already rote: Minimus's voice, muffled by distance, attempting to placate whoever the twins have wronged.

It usually works. Most mecha give it up once the twins are out of sight, and Minimus's profuse apologies and completely unthreatening demeanor serves to soothe more egos than it inflames.

Ravage hears an enraged roar, followed by a yelp of alarm.

Well, slag, it isn’t working this time.

Ravage sets off towards the source of the noise at a brisk pace, breaking into a loping run when the sound of fists against tile splinters the air.

He finds Minimus in the communal washracks, backed into a corner by Sunstreaker.

The twins' 'prank' is immediately apparent: Sunstreaker's paint runs down his frame in thin, watery dribbles. They must have replaced his cleanser with paint thinner again.

"Hold still you slagger!" Sunstreaker is saying. "I'm gonna peel your fragging plating off!"

"Sir, this is quite an overreaction!"

Trust Minimus to sound merely indignant, even as he dodges Sunstreaker's attempt to snatch him with ease.

Ravage surveys the scene, bemused. Why hasn't Minimus run away already? Is he seriously still trying to reason with Sunstreaker?

Then Minimus sees Ravage. Those pointed ears of his perk up, his optics brighten in surprise.

Foolish mech. Ravage begins to cross the distance, claws digging into the grooves in the tile, but Minimus's distraction costs him. Ravage is too far away to stop Sunstreaker from grabbing him by the tail and yanking him into the air.

Minimus's tail was never meant to bear his weight, especially under stress. Ravage hears the faint pop of a dislocated joint. Minimus lets out a high pitched cry of pain.

Sunstreaker's shout of triumph gives way to another roar, this one pained, as Ravage's teeth sink into the delicate wiring of his wrist.

Minimus hits the ground with a clatter of plating and another yelp. Ravage lets go the moment he’s down.

"Frag! What the-"

"Back off, Sunstreaker." Ravage's growl reverberates off the washracks' tiled walls.

Sunstreaker hesitates. Ravage can see anger and rationality battling behind his optics: take out his fury on the turbofox and risk Ravage's wrath –and, by extension, Soundwave's– or let it go.

"Fine," Sunstreaker hisses. "But if I see those twins they're gonna get what's coming to 'em."

Ravage scoffs. "Be my guest."

Sunstreaker stomps off, still dripping watery yellow paint. No doubt he and his brother will be plotting their revenge. So long as it falls only on Frenzy and Rumble, Ravage doesn’t care.

He turns to Minimus and finds him already hauling himself to his paws, stumbling slightly when his tail fails to counterbalance him. Minimus grimaces but makes no sound.

“How the slag did they drag you into this?” Ravage asks.

Minimus shakes his head. “They told me they planned to fool with the temperature controls. I came along to make sure nothing got out of hand. It seems their trap on Sunstreaker was just about to spring when we arrived.”

He reeks of honesty. Foolish, gullible little mech.

Ravage sighs. “Let’s get you to Soundwave. He’s good enough at relocating joints.”

Minimus hesitates. Embarrassment reveals itself in the flick of his ears. “Must we?”

“It’s him or the medbay. Or Shockwave.”

Another flashing grimace. “Very well.”

Minimus’s usual sprightly trot is slowed by the drag of his tail upon the ground. Ravage slows his own pace to compensate, though Minimus still has to take two steps for each of Ravage’s leisurely strides.

When they reach the cohort’s quarters Soundwave greets them with an appropriate level of concern. Minimus brushes off Soundwave’s attentions, though Ravage can tell he’s somewhat flustered by it.

Minimus's repair passes quickly. Soundwave hasn't relocated a tail before (Ravage has never required such repairs) and Ravage ends up helping brace Minimus against the awkward angle. Minimus bleeps in pain when the joint finally slides back into place. His claws prick Ravage's plating.

Minimus expresses his thanks as awkwardly as he always does, sincere but clearly ashamed that he needed assistance in the first place.

Rumble and Frenzy are summoned. It's clear they know what they've been called about when they arrive. Soundwave rebukes them, as disappointed as he is sternly disapproving. They appear appropriately chastised– it is, after all, the first time their new companion has been hurt by the consequences of their actions.

Ravage watches all of this in amused silence, soon joined by the birds.

Laserbeak coaxes Minimus under his wing, crooning over and preening the crushed and dented panels on Minimus’s tail. Minimus suffers Laserbeak’s ministrations stoically, but there’s a glow to his optics and a sweetness in his scent that betrays his contentment.

Ravage sighs and tucks his limbs beneath himself. Minimus is warm beside him, sandwiched between Ravage and Laserbeak. He speaks up once in defense of the twins, all moral high-ground and righteous indignance. Soundwave thanks him for the input before turning his attention back to the twins.

Silly mech, Ravage thinks again, far too indulgently. He rests his chin on his paws and closes his optics.

An OC, he’s a Hank clone that survived when both twins were caught in a cave-in when they were 14.

(Further lore ↓)

Apologies for being overly verbose for parts of this, I’m just like that sometimes

Dean died and Hank was hit in the head and knocked out. Because his watch (and by extension his wrist) was crushed, he was assumed to be dead. He survived but was forced to live with his brother’s rotting corpse, and only ate/drank bugs, moss, tree roots, and underground spring water, effectively becoming severely malnourished. The only “company” he had was a small colony of bats that came and went through a vent in the cave’s ceiling. This led to more delusion and detachment, as well as further fuelling his obsession with Batman. I know scientifically he’d probably just die from all this but whatever..

He’s found after like 6 years and does not take the news about them being clones very well, but he’s very happy to see his family, and ends up liking the current Hank. He gets surgery to deal with his broken bones that healed horrifically wrong, but nothing seems to really fix him mentally.

Also the “Allen” is the normal/replacement Hank, as everyone agreed this cave Hank was Hank first and got to keep his name. Idk what I’m doing

I only made this character as a sort of hypothetical crisis for Hank, and also wanted to make my own take on a D-19 type character

I was inspired by Alphonse Elric and Riku from Kemu Voxx’s books for the (minimally transformative) design, but it’s mostly just Hank.. It was hard to restrain myself from drawing dicks on that cast both because innate urge and it actually being in-character

(Also ik that this design ever being animated at this level of detail would be some form of abuse, but I ain’t animating his ass, and I also have little restraint when it comes to adding pointless details.)

Where do farfetch’d get their leek stalk? Is it a special leek that never wilts, or do they have to find a new one every few days? And why a leek?

@ladyzee-oddityhunter

I'm glad you asked! Farfetch'd are actually one of the pokemon I specialize in. I'll try to simplify this all down into just a single relatively short post, but I'll link my papers and studies at the end if anyone's interested in those.

Farfetch'd are extremely adept foragers, and have been known to use a variety of both wild and cultivated leeks. These can either be found in the wild or taken from a store, but chances are they'll spend hours picking out the 'right' one either way. This used to actually be a bit of an issue for farmers who grew leeks, since farfetch'd would dig up their fields trying to find what they consider to be the best of the bunch. This heavily contributed to the near extinction of farfetch'd in Japan, since they could easily be branded a pest, and were so plentiful that no hunting regulations prevented people from shooting them. However, farfetch'd have also been known to display agricultural knowledge themselves, and have been documented as caring for wild leeks. They're hard pokemon to monitor in the wild, so not a lot of research has been done into this.

Farfetch'd use root vegetables instead of a regular wooden stick or more traditional club because the leek serves several functions aside from just being a weapon; it's also used as nesting material, emergency food, and a way to impress mates, both for males and females.

The leek a farfetch'd claims will not rot unless it's abandoned, lost, etc. It's also much tougher than it would be otherwise, allowing for farfetch'd to use its signature attack style. While we don't have solid proof as to why this happens, the current leading theory is that, in layman's terms, the same energy you'll see a pokemon expelling during battle is constantly being siphoned into farfetch'd's tool of choice, which essentially keeps it alive as if it were still in the ground. The leek, for that moment, becomes an extension of the farfetch'd, not just a tool. This is best exemplified with Galarian farfetch'd; they can't evolve without a leek in their possession, and when they do evolve, the leek changes alongside them.

This is one of the many reasons why I think Kantonian farfetch'd should be reclassified as a grass/flying type, and part of why I believe they have a secondary evolution that we just aren't aware of.

That said, a farfetch'd's leek can still break or be separated from them, and they will have to replace it in that case. This is natural, and will likely happen 2-3 times a year, more if a farfetch'd battles extremely frequently. If you have one, remember that being without a leek does make them feel vulnerable, and will cause massive stress; get them a replacement asap, and let them pick it out if possible. Do not send an unarmed farfetch'd into battle if you can help it; they'll perform poorly and mostly be focused on trying to get away.

Here's a list of my papers on farfetch'd, if anyone would like to read through them. They're all written originally in Japanese, but the first 3 have English translations. I'm still working on translating the others. You can try auto translate on those ones if you'd like. I'm sort of doxxing my last name by putting these out there, but whatever.

Stronger together

---

<<Part 1

Part 2 to 'Don't make me choose'

Pairing: Miguel o'hara x reader

Word count: 800

Tags: @itzmeme @miatjie @juneonhoth

---

You slumped against a broken metal shelter on some roof. The world glowing around you with a goulish green hue as faint sirens haunted the far distance. Earth-42 wasn’t paradise, it was the opposite, without a guardian in this realm, crime was raging and rampant.

But this was where you tracked Miles to last before the little red dot that kept tab on him faded. Now you were stranded, not sure of how any of this could help in preventing what was to come. Instead you were hungry, tired, soaked wet by the rain and there was no other alternative to survive here. The battle within your mind was that, you only knew one number by heart.

Tapping the device in your hands as you thought through the outcome, you took the jump, to make the call and waited as it beeped searching for a connection. You prepared your mind in that moment, for the possibility that he wasn’t going to pick up or that he would deem you deserved this to confidently abandon you here as a form of punishment.

Two beeps in, the line was active, his voice cracking through as he called your name repeatedly, his tone soaked with worry.

“Can you hear me?”, the line stabilized and you held the device close to you, as though it was an extension of him.

“Are you al-alright?”, the connection was a bit sketchy as he asked you but before you could respond,

“Yes.”, you said desperately.

“Are you hurt?”, he bombarded you with questions, without waiting to hear your reply and it only made it more clearer that he had been trying to search for you without a clue as to where you had vanished. In the state you were in, it cut loose within you everything you had held back, when you were out here thinking of the worst, he was there desperate to get you back.

“Where are you?”, he continued.

“I’m sorry.”, was all that you could utter before you broke down into sobs.

“I’m sorry, Miguel. I was foolish.”, you rambled only to hear silence from the other end.

“Hey.”, he interrupted you, his voice tender and soft.

“I was at fault too.”, he sighed.

“I lost sight of us and our pledge to carry the responsibility of being a hero, succumbing to the fear of the past “, he explained, not a hint of anger in his voice.

“Where are you?”, he asked again.

“I’ll come get you.”, he said it with a sweetness that you realized when you were longing to get back home, you were just wanting to get back to him.

“Earth-42.”, you answered and there was a pique in interest as he mumbled.

“Earth-42? How did you track him there?”, he asked, you could practically hear the gears turn in his head as he tried to connect everything together.

“The transporter maps us to our universe based on our spider bite.”, you began to explain but he jumped in following your train of thought.

“and he was bit by an anomaly which in turns masks his genetic makeup when scanned.”, he finished your sentence and you couldn’t help but smile. He understood the way you worked and that could not be replaced with anyone else.

“Clever as always.”, he remarked but you could sense the smile with which he said it.

“My power is running down and I don’t know how long I can stay put here, this world is –

The whizz of the dimension portal startled you as it opened near where you were and in the pouring rain your heart skipped a beat as you saw his silhouette step out, his head moving from side to side as he scouted for you.

He called for you and you didn’t wait, springing up from where you hid to run to him.

You wrapped your arms around him and hugged him tight that he huffed bracing your impact. But the moment he felt your warmth, he held you close, placing his cheek on the top of your head, not worried about the rain or anything else.

“Te extrañé.”, he spoke into your ear.

“You're not angry with me?”, you mumbled into his chest to hear the soft reverb of his laugh.

“We’ve got to help him, Miguel.”, you said slowly and he nodded taking in the state of the world around, he brushed away the strands of hair that stuck to your face. He was making it clear now, that you ranked higher than those worries.

“I can’t stay mad at you for long.”, he tilted your chin up to see him and when your eyes locked, you knew that wherever you stood, with him, it was paradise. Even on earth-42.

“We’ll figure it out together.”, he gave you a knowing smile.

“Like we always do.”, he held your gaze, as if that was the core rule his universe operated on.

You were certain you would find a way to save Miles’s father, because when you and Miguel stood together, nothing could stand in your way.

“Now let’s go home.”, his hand slipped to yours and you wrapped your fingers around his.
