#Godot X Coffee

[gavinnerfan666]

I want somebody to love me as much as Godot loves coffee 💔

[characterssaythedarnestthings]

(To a Starbucks employee) "No I don't want a pumpkin spice latte. I don't want your caramel frappachinos. I want a black coffee. Don't you dare even try to put some milk in there. If I detect a gram of sugar I will come for you. Understand?" - Godot, Ace Attorney

[khytal]

Any chance we could see a Godot and Raymond Shields swap?

wahoo

-it was really hard to make godot look different x') like I sort of wanted him to look Normal (bc ray is kind of a normal guy who also eats paper) so he couldn't stand out too much, but it's godot so he couldn't be too plain either

so I settled on making his hair a little different, and he has a medium-sized scar on his forehead that's mostly covered by his bangs. idk how he got it but it was probably some accident. and he gets to keep his earrings (i forgot to draw them but he wears a couple of rings too)

-also he really likes coffee candy

-ray was more straightforward; I originally made his visor shape more like a chevron to resemble a shield, but then I decided to lean into a knight-themed design so now it looks like a helmet visor. I don't think he can actually wear a hat with the visor but let's pretend it works lmao

I didn't draw it but he would probably wear a black trench coat on his shoulders. like a cape :] also idk how obvious it is but most of the ray's design was inspired by ren akiyama/kr knight and zenkichi hasegawa

Hiromi Higuruma x Reader

Hiromi Higuruma:

You miss Nanami, are tired and stressed out 24/7 or you're just a big ace attorney fan.

First Date:

"Oh thank God you made it!" Today was the start of your trial. You had been arrested on the suspicion of posting leaks to Twitter and you needed a good lawyer to defend your case. Unfortunately, Saul Goodman was busy so you went with your next choice. Hiromi Higuruma, a man in his mid thirties known to take on the most helpless of defendants. Due to how crime is dealt with in Japan, prosecutors are known to be corrupt, leaving him with a 0.1% outcome rate but you were just glad that someone was willing to defend you.

"I can't promise you anything ####, but I will do my best!" He opened the doors and began to find his seat. It was then that he noticed who he would be up against. The legendary prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth. He began to scream a string of profanities in his mind and cursed the day he was born. "You can do this, everyone is counting on yo- Argh, who am I kidding? I'm screwed!" He was about to drink some of his coffee but then he remembered the Dahlia Hawthorne case and decided against it.

He looked down at his desk and picked up his photograph. It was a picture of him and his wife on their honey moon vacation in Malaysia. "I can't wait to go home and see my him." Suddenly the loud banging of the gavel rang him out of his thoughts. "Is the defence team ready?" Higuruma took a bow. "Yes your honour."

"Good. Now let us get on to the case at hand. Now, Miss ####, is it true that you are being charged with leaking highly valuable information to the public?" You glanced to your lawyer. "This is a joke right...?" The prosecutor then cut in "Disclosing sensitive information is not a laughing matter maddam!" You rolled your eyes. "Important info my ass! All I did was post some stupid pages of a manga!"

The judge then stroked his chin. "Hmm. Answer me this. What series was it?" You were shocked that the judge was even bothering with your case. "It was Jujutsu Kaisen your honour..." He then frowned. "That's too bad. If it had been One Piece I would have given you a more lenient sentence. I'm afraid the court finds you guilty! As punishment, you will have to attend a smash bros. tournament!"

You screamed. "ANYTHING BUT THAT YOUR HONOUR! THEY SMELL SO BAD! THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SOAP OR DEODERANT IS!" The judge sighed. "It's either that or the death penalty..." You jumped straight up and began to cry tears of joy. "I'll take one execution please!"

"Well I guess that settles it!" The judge then banged his hammer and the words G U I L T Y appeared over your head. "Take her away, next case!" Higuruma then heard the crowd cheering and saw confetti fall from the ceiling. "You did it again Mr. Edgeworth!" The prosecutor then waived the scruffy man away. "Yes Gumshoe, I know. Now go make yourself useful!"

"WHAT KIND OF TRIAL IS THIS!? THAT'S IT, I'M BRINGING OUT MY STAND [ JUDGEMAN ] !" The creature then threw the previous judge out the window and took his seat. A loud bang was heard and then Edgeworth began to hide under the table. The door pushed open and revealed that it was prosecutor Godot. "Sorry for knocking so loud. Is everything alr-" He then looked at the situation in front of him. 'I may be blind but not stupid!' he thought. "I'm just going to check and see if we have anymore coffee..." The door then closed, the only noise being Miles sobbing and the relaxing rythmn of smooth jazz.

Judgeman then went through the inventory and skimmed through the court records. "Alright, we shall begin with the next case. Will the defendant Sukuna please take the stand?" Higuruma began to bash his head into his desk and cried. "Please not this guy again! Gege why!?"

Summary

THIS GAME WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. The setup throughout the whole trilogy was great, especially all within Trials and Tribulations. I love how bits and pieces of each case(or even large portions) had a ton of relevance to the final case. The characters were amazing and had great development, I loved playing as Mia and Edgeworth, that was such a delight, and im so glad we got to battle it out against Franziska as edgeworth. I love the other 2 games but the cohesiveness of the entire story within this game was spectacular. It truly reminded me of DGS 1&2 and why i love it so much. I really love how we also got to see young feenie, bratworth, and mia, the dialogue was especially entertaining. I cannot get over the twists and turns of the last case. I could never have predicted what was going to happen. I love complex mysteries like this, they're so entertaining but also im constantly thinking 'how do you even plan this all out?' The narumitsu in this game is so perfect too... omg. Incredible game , I absolutely loved it!

[pupbeat]

i made a meme. as soon as i saw the original, i knew.

[Image Description: A meme of a fake twitter conversation between Phoenix Wright and Godot from Ace Attorney. Phoenix says "I'm anti coffee now" with a picture of an X over coffee. Godot replies "You'll come crawling back like a dog". End ID.]

TEXT ME: SHOYO x Y/N (part 4)

series

(cw: ballet!reader, reader is in college studying ballet, Shoyo is back from Brazil, kissing, tit play, romantic sex)

(a/n: like my status if u caught my waiting for godot reference. also this is so romantic i loved this)

words: 831

****

Your college apartment is scattered with clothes and dirty dishes. (You’re swamped with homework, okay?)

It’s comfy and cozy, with a rose pink couch and scuffed-up coffee table.

Shoyo lies on top of you, kissing you into oblivion. He hums against your lips, pressing his hips into yours.

“Miss me, pretty girl?”

Shoyo had been away for two years, playing in Brazil. You’d started studying ballet at college: learning history, techniques, everything. Your life is saturated in dance, and your body is usually sore. But your skills are improving, and auditions for the school’s next production are coming. They doing the classic: Swan Lake. You want a solo. You want Odette.

But that’s another story.

Now, Shoyo is on top of you, asking if you missed him.

“Of course!” You say, whining as you arch up into him. Shoyo smiles, wicked sparkle in his amber eyes.

“Good,” he says, pressing a kiss to the tip of your nose, “You better.”

You giggle as he nuzzles your nose.

His voice is raspy, cheeks red in hazy pleasure. Your greedy hands find their way beneath his t-shirt; this is the first makeout sesh you both have has since Shoyo returned. You squeeze his abs, lips parted as a gasp escapes you.

He is sculpted.

Shoyo smiled deviously as he lets you grope his muscles.

“Like that, sweetheart?”

“Mhmm!” You nod happily as you move to squeezing his biceps.

Shoyo snickers.

He ruts his hips into yours. Impatient.

“Want ya,” he says, raspy. His skin is rosy and his smile is syrupy. He demonstrates his want again, pressing his clothed erection against your core. “Missed ya so bad, baby.”

“Missed you too,” you gasp. You grab his face, bringing your mouths together for a hot, messy kiss. “Want you,” you say.

Shoyo’s eyes darken, and his own greedy hands work their way below your shirt. He fondles at your tits, calloused hands strong and warm. “So sexy f’me…,” his whispers, lifting your shirt over your breasts. You’re not wearing a bra: your chest is exposed to his hungry gaze.

He leans down, starting to kiss your skin. His lips are perfect.

He teases you.

Shoyo’s body fits against yours like a warm, weighted blanket. He’s familiar: solid, heavy, warm. Tethering.

He snickers at the sounds you make.

“Sho!” You gasp impatiently, arching up against him, “Want you, now!”

Shoyo lets out a groan, lifting off of you to tug his own shirt off over his head. You lick your lips, and reach out to touch. Shoyo undoes the strings of his sweatpants.

His body is godlike.

It’s sculpted, rosy, and amber-freckled. Shoyo is strong and warm, and when he circles his arms around your waist, making love to you, he is Safe. Home. Harbor.

Him.

“Shoyo,” you whine, arms around his neck, “Love you so much~!”

He nips at your jawline, then moves to smooching down your neck. His cock is safely inside you, deep at your core, as he shows you just how much he missed you.

“Love ya too, baby. Always have—,” he cuts himself off with a heady groan, before hiding his face in your neck. His arms are around you, holding you to him in missionary.

Shoyo thrusts into you slowly, steadily. He’s making love to you in every sense of the word. His time away had grown you into a needy mess: keening and writhing and arching into his grasp.

He’s not much better, whining and gasping in your ear. Your bodies are fit perfectly, soulfully together. Sexting and video calls these past two years were nothing, nothing compared to this. This

rhythm.

That’s the word to describe it: rhythm. Your heartbeats are intertwined: synced and aligned. Ah, how sweetly he loves you, and—

Shoyo.

He cums with a sound an angel might make: heady and heavenly and all, all yours. Fuck.

You’re cumming,

too.

“Shoyo!” You moan, face hidden in his shoulder. He steers you through another orgasm, sex incarnate, as he gasps and moans right along with you. Love, love, love…

“That’s it, that’s it, pretty girl~” He smooches below your ear. Slowly, you both come down.

Air leaves you both in a satisfied sigh. Shoyo pulls out of you, and scoops you up as he stands. You smile, eyes closed, as he carries you to the bathroom. He sets you on the counter, and smooches your cheek before turning on the hot water.

“Hm, pretty girl? Didja like that?” He asks, cheeks all flushed with a sleepy smile. You nod, reaching out to wrap your arms around his neck and bury your fingers in his soft, orange hair. You kiss him, slowly.

“Mm, loved it,” you murmur against his soft lips. He circles his arms around your waist. His kisses are long and languid.

“Love you,” he whispers, voice cracking. His lips brush your cheeks, your jaw, your eyelids. He is murmuring sweet little praises into your skin. He smells like summer.

Like sunshine,

like summer.

Which ending do you think is most interesting or cool for lil Marigold?

Single dad Godot with Marigold

- still lawyer or Coffee shop au

Godot x Jake with Marigold (it’s Jake as Marigold’s new step dad)

Somehow by the black magic arts: Gyro x Jake x Godot (with Gyro’s bastards as step siblings)

Godot x Phoenix (if you play or watch part 4, Trucy as new step sister

Maya Fey single mom/auntie with Marigold [if Godot no get out of jail] + Pearl step sister

Bonus: if Mia was in a coma by the thinker instead of dead and if she woke up

Mia x Godot with Marigold

Thoughts?

Let me rank them.

1) Gyro x Jake x Godot, because Godot still has a chance to raise Marigold and to be in her ife and to rebuild his own life. But now he's not alone! He was two wonderful boyfriends to help him raise a child and remind him that he has value and worth, that he can rebuild. It's a stable house for Marigold. Furthermore, Marigold now has a lot of siblings to play with, so she gets it all: a loving stable arrangement of parents, siblings kinda near her age that she can do things with, and a happy, engaging life.

2) Godot x Jake, Godot x Wright, because for much the same reason above: Godot gets a second chance at life, love and happiness. He gets to heal. And Marigold lives in a stable household environment. In this barest of looks on it, I'd say that Godot x Jake and Godot x Wright are about the same.

3) Mia x Godot with Marigold, also very good because again, Godot gets to heal (and maybe he isn't so damaged when he learns that Mia is still alive?), Mia gets to be alive and be the awesome boss she is, and Marigold gets both her parents!

4) Godot as a single father with Marigold, it's not a perfect life and far from easy, but Godot finds some way to make it work. Apparently, California doesn't exactly ban a murder convict from later becoming a lawyer, so there's hope for him to still be a lawyer? But I don't think that's likely. He might be burned out. I can see him opening up a little cafe, a little coffee shop and live in a small apartment above it with Marigold. It's a humble life, and it's also sweet.

5) Maya Fey single mom/auntie with Marigold + Pearl step sister, because Marigold still misses her parents! She lost her mom permanently, and now she scarcely sees her dad. Auntie Maya and Pearl are wonderful, and with them, Marigold has a chance to grow up and be silly.

Basically, I would like for Godot to be paired off with someone who can love him, appreciate him, and help him heal and rebuild.

Cafe-Cosplay?

Godot x reader (pt 1 if I get the inspiration to do pt 2 )

Warnings: oblivious, fandom orientated reader, just hanging out with Godot

Although you've been to this hole-in-the-wall coffee longer than you'd like to admit, this is the first time you've noticed the cyborg sitting in the corner. 

You've sat in agony for the past hour. All over this anomaly of this cosplayer. A teal green vest hugged a crisp white dress shirt to his toned chest while black dress pants and newly polished shoes tied the ensemble together. And of course, the pièce de résistance- the visor. What looks to be a cold metal faceplate with three slots.  All emanating a red hue that you don't know whether to be intimidated or in awe by. Regardless, the craftsmanship behind this person's wardrobe is phenomenal! The problem is, you cannot place who this character is for the life of you. You’ve been in fandom spaces for years and right now, you're stumped. Most of the time you can make a damn good guess considering the amount of media you’ve seen and the osmosis of it all. But to see someone you’re truly clueless about; its absolute torture!  

You glance up from your book, probably for the 5th time since you've noticed the guy, to see he's still there, looking down at his watch. "This is ridiculous." You scold yourself. With resolution to satiate your curiosity, you take a sip of your drink for courage before getting up from your seat.

Walking over to the secluded booth was easy, but acting on your word was the hard part. You manage to introduce yourself after a moments of hesitation though. "Hi! I'm sorry for bothering you during a break-" The person you were set on slowly parted their coffee from their lips. Although their eyes weren't visible, you could feel an apprehensive glance your way. “I, uh- just wanted to say that I loved your cosplay! The craftsmanship is fantastic!" You see their shoulders ease. If just for a moment, a shudder? "I just wanted to commemorate you on it since it must've taken a while to make!" Slowly, the person set down their coffee, adjusting their posture before meeting you eye to eye. Or, as eye to eye as you could be. "Wow you're tall..." You mumbled under your breath, making the stranger smile slightly before regaining his composure. "Who are you?" They question. You chuckle slightly. "Oh-ah- I'm Y/n L/n. I'm a tailor." He stares at you for what seems like a while. Your throat goes dry in the meantime as doubt about what you were doing sets in. "Um... yeah. L-Like I said, I just wanted to say that I love the craftsmanship in your cosplay and if you don't mind me asking, who's the character your cosplaying? I'm in a lot of fandoms but I've never seen a character as interesting as this one!" You chuckle again, more nervous now than anything. The handsome stranger your chatting up laughs lightly, a smile gracing their lips. "Well, um... I guess I'm... 'cosplaying'... this, prosecutor." You couldnt help but notice him tense up at the word. Was this actually how he dressed? If so, what was the visor for? "His name is Godot. He's... god, how to describe him...?" You cock your head slightly before a lightbulb goes off in your head. "OH! Is he your character?" With that, the stranger snaps his fingers. "Yes! He is my character!" You smile wide. Thank god you were at least on the right tracK!

"Wow! I'd love to get to know him! If he dresses like this- I can only imagine what personality he has!" To that, they chuckle. "Well, he's a bit full of himself. Kind of like his coffee." They say before lifting the mug they're drinking out of. To that you chuckle, snorting in the process, making your company pause. " Crap- sorry!" You catch yourself through your laughter. "No! Don't apologize." They say, hiding their face behind the mug of coffee. You scold yourself through a smile as the stranger continues to chuckle after a hearty drink. "I've just, haven't heard someone laugh so hard they snort... not in a long time."

"What was that?" They shake their head. "Nothing of note. Don't worry about it." They look around before he looks at his watch. "I'm sorry to cut this short but, I-" they smile lightly. "Godot has to get to court." You smile at that. "Ah! I see what ya did there-! I won't keep the prosecution waiting then!" With that, They smile one last time before leaving a few bills on the table for whoever gets their disregarded mug. "It was nice to talk with you Y/n."

"You too,..." They leave you to be with that, making their way to the exit. Before they leave though, you call out to them over the otherwise silence of the cafe. "Fight for great justice!" They turn back slightly, confusion saturated their face, but they shook their head with a smile nonetheless. When he's no longer in view of the front windows you head back to your set, relaxed at the notion that you went with your gut and met someone new. "Quite the character though." You mumble with a smile.

[selfdiagnosedeyemotif]

Wouldn't it be really funny if there was a big reveal where you find out this "amazing" "Godot coffee blend x" Godot has been talking about is instant coffee. He picks different brands and mixes them together at different ratios. All this time you think he's s coffee expert but no there's something deeply wrong with him <- doesn't drink or like coffee but has been told instant is bad

pie my dear fellow he would NEVER drink instant and i think he'd evapourate you with his eye lasers for even suggesting that

[oblivious-aro]

F, I, L, M, (woah just realised that word is in alphabetical order…) X, Y!

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

I'm just realizing it's kind of tricky to define what exactly constitutes ‘being in a fandom’. Internet culture as we know it today was kind of forming as I was growing up, and that's where I primarily think of fandom culture, and fandom itself, as existing at all. 

That being said, probably Legend of Zelda. 

Honourable mention to Danny Phantom and H2O: Just Add Water. Those were the two shows I primarily browsed the fanfiction for when I discovered fanfiction existed. My main interest in fanfiction was identity/secret reveal fics. Also really liked looking up funny My Little Pony fan comics. I think of those as my sort of first foray into wider fandom cultures.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

I was disillusioned to fandom culture very early on, and had heard many of the horror stories of fandom toxicity long before I got Tumblr.

That being said, interacting with Danny Phantom fans on Tumblr really opened my eyes to how fandom tends to bubble itself.

I already knew about DP fans…eccentricities from my time fanfiction.net, but on ffn you can at least give writers the benefit of the doubt that their attitudes are just coming from their own personal tastes and experiences, since engagement is limited, but on Tumblr you see the fandoms collective thoughts and attitudes and how they engage with the media and each other more clearly. I figured because of that, there would be engagement with the show on a critical level, but outside of a few points, the fans pretty much never dug into the writing of the show unless is contributed to adding inane details to fan lore, or referencing fandom in-jokes that aren't very funny even if you do know the story behind them. 

There's not a lot of engagement on the level of fannon either, actually. It's mostly just adding lore bits and shallow jokes. The only time I ever saw anyone address any meta issues there was to say the tired old ‘we just need to be tolerant and all get along’ vague posting spiel. 

In short, Tumblr DP fandom taught me first hand that even in an environment that's more conducive to engagement, a lot of fans just won't, and that was extremely disappointing to realize.

Also Delicious in Dungeon. They seemed fine at first, but then I found out how incredibly dishonest the fandom was about the show, and that sowed a lot of resentment towards the fandom and the show itself. That's on me for forgetting anime fans are terrible, though. 

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.

Non-puzzle spoiler for Ace Attorney 3, but the bit at the end of the flashback trial where after watching their client die in front of them, Godot turns to Mia and tells her that as a lawyer it's their duty to keep smiling and push through no matter what, all the while keeping a smile on his face, but grasping his ceramic mug so hard it shatters and cuts his hand…that smile still fixed on his face while blood runs down his clenched fist, and security is frantically trying to deal with the dead body just off screen…but Godot isn’t looking at his bleeding hand or the corpse at the witness stand…he’s only focused on what he's saying to the distraught Mia…insisting that they have to keep smiling despite everything…

That's metal as fuck. Godot was not a character who was handled well, but the coffee mug shattering is absolutely a top ten Ace Attorney moment in my book.

Also his coffee animations are genuinely funny.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Ruby Gloom. I like how she always planning fun activities, she generally tries to be accommodating without being a total pushover, and is always working to make life more enjoyable for herself and everyone around her. She seems like a really positive person to have in your life.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Miraculous Ladybug (my younger cousin was really into the show when it first came out, and there's one tumblr artist who makes great comics, but the glimpses I saw of the level of teasing in the show proper turns me right off. Conceptually though, Miraculous is my JAM, but I. Cannot. Stand. Excessive. Teasing. One of the rare instances of a show being enhanced by being experienced exclusively through fandom) 

Delicious in Dungeon (it's pretty hard to not absorb that show if you exist on Tumblr in any capacity)

Star Wars/Yu-gi-oh (I've seen a bit of both, but I've learned a lot from my brother who's watched much more than I)

Minecraft/Five Nights at Freddie's (3 of my 4 siblings, and also all nerds everywhere, love Minecraft, so you know. My sister was really into Fnaf when it first got big, and my little sister was just the right age to enjoy it when it had its resurgence)

That's everything off the top of my head. 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! 

Putting this under a cut because it ended up being way longer than expected. Tell me to ramble at your own risk, apparently. No, I don't really know where I was going with what I was saying either:

I think sometimes we all gotta step back and remember this whole fandom thing is very silly. 

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not saying fan creations are valueless or not worth taking seriously (I've dedicated many hours to fan creations myself), but to hear some people talk you’d think fandom was some kind of oppressed political group.

Guys…this is primarily a space where twelve year olds talk about their blorbos kissing, lighten up. Yes, there are a lot of real issues in fandom spaces that should be talked about, but sometimes it feels like the only one people want to talk about is an external issue that…doesn’t really exist. Big companies don’t really care what fandom does with their properties anymore. The reality is that there was a few weird instances about a decade ago, and some people can’t let go of that. One author said ‘don’t write fanfics about my books’, and fandom developed a persecution complex the size of Russia and cursed their name long after that author’s death. Because they were told not to write fanfics. About one book.

(Disclaimer: I know there was a bit more to the situation than that, but my point still stands)

And the worst part of making this fake issue such a big part of fandom identity is people weaponizing it to stop others from talking about real issues. “Hey, are we sure it’s okay there’s so much fanart depicting-” “Shh! Shh! Shh! We can’t criticise each other! We can’t let fandom space be divided! We can’t ever question anyone in fandom spaces or else we will fall apart and big company will win! Just ignore stuff you don’t like so that everyone can get along always!” I hate how adamant people are about cutting off this entire avenue of discussion point blank. Preserving the concept of fandom is more important than improving the culture of fandom.

And it's not just obtuse teenagers, it's fully grown adults. Like…a significant amount of money has changed hands based on these beliefs. I happened to be on ao3 when a fundraiser went live, and they more than doubled their goal in an hour. All because it's the website that ‘protects fan’s freedom of speech’. That's a lot of extra money being given to a site that runs on unpaid volunteers based on very shaky beliefs (and you can’t even permanently block tags or even ban people properly *ahem*), just because other websites don’t let you write about three specific authors or [redacted].

In short, ao3's basically a scam and if you ever catch me using the term ‘transformative works’ please shoot me. People are trying to sell you a sense of importance with language like that (literally in ao3's case).

That being said, there's something genuinely beautiful about fandom connections when they aren't glorified. I've made multiple friends who live in different countries from me just because we like the same lego show. That's actually ridiculous, but the connection is undeniably genuine and treasured, and it was founded on all of us sharing our weird hobbies.

Even on a smaller scale, there's something about hearing a person make a Nintendo or a superhero reference that can put me at ease a little. I've never been fond of how dismissive people can be of more mainstream media. Pop culture gives us fun little connections to make as a society, and that's great. It's cool when your 60 year old coworker says “my Spidey senses are tingling”, or that shy kid starts to open up to you because you know what Bluey is. 

Of course it's worth remembering that liking the same media (or having any common interest or hobby) is not enough. Liking the same show can bring people together, but it is the character of the individuals involved that determine whether that connection gets nourished or not. Relating back to my original point a little, we shouldn’t completely give credit to fandom. You didn’t have these positive experiences because fandom is a magical place where stuff like that just happens, you had them because you put in the work to build those positive experiences. It’s the same with any hobby. 

It’s like saying you made friends through knitting, it’s technically not 100% accurate. Afterall, not everyone who knits is friends with other knitters, even if they do know of other people who knit. The decision to make brownies every week for the knitters circle is an effort you have chosen to put in, and indicative of your character beyond the commonality of the hobby the group was founded on. So no, you didn’t just make friends through knitting, you made friends by being yourself.

(Yes, I do realize that I’m being kind of nit-picky here. Rest assured, I do not always go on this kind of a ramble when someone says they made friends though x, I’m just trying to illustrate a point about the powerful perspective we lose through glorification)

Saturday Morning Coffee

Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️

Another week and month in the books. We’ve crossed into February and Punxsutawney Phil says six more weeks of winter. I’m ok with that. Coffees ready, let’s get going.

Carl Weathers, linebacker-turned-actor who starred in ‘Rocky’ movies and ‘The Mandalorian,’ dies

I remember seeing Rocky as a kid and I didn’t much like Apollo Creed. He was arrogant, cocky, and besides, the star of the show was Rocky, the underdog. Of course they eventually became friends and I liked him then.

I loved him as Al Dillon in Preditor and as Chubbs in Happy Gilmore.

NASCAR: Full Speed Is Coming to Your Screen at 200 Miles per Hour

I blew through the five episode season in a couple days. Why’d they only order up five episodes in the first season? I mean, F1: Drive to Survive has had 10 episode since season 1.

They focused on the playoffs but they could’ve done more leading into the playoffs. It’s a long season full of drama and I wanted more.

Overall it was really good and I hope we get a full 10 episodes in season 2.

Pkl

Define all your data in Pkl, and generate output for JSON, YAML, Property Lists, and other configuration formats.

Pkl is an Apple project. They’re trying to become a services company and having a better means of managing things sounds like a good idea.

It’s odd to see Apple using Java and Kotlin for this but it does make sense given it’s meant to be portable to different platforms. And by different platforms I mean actual different platforms like Linux, Windows, and Mac. Not Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 😄

Black Twitter Remains Unbothered in Elon Musk’s X

I’ve seen folks on Mastodon talking about how difficult it is for Black Mastodon to get started.

When I setup Curmudgeon Cafe there was a large contingent — and still is — of LGBTQ+ instances.

If memory serves it was more a matter of discoverability.

I’d love to see multiple BIPOC instances spring. We need more diversity, not less.

Miguel de Icaza • blog.la-terminal.net

My current effort is slightly different: how to build a native iPadOS (and hopefully VisionOS) experience for Godot. So rather than rewriting the existing Editor codebase with Swift, this effort is about making a SwiftUI on top of the existing Editor.

I don’t keep up with Godot but I do keep up with Miguel. It’ll be fun to watch his effort evolve into a finished product.

Texas' standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass is igniting calls for secession and fears of violence

The MAGA crazed are ready for war and his orangeness is egging them on. Not only that he’s actively working with leaders in the House and Senate to blow up a bipartisan bill that would be the best deal the GOP has seen on the border. All to get that orange dumbass re-elected.

It’s 2024, and I’m here to extol the virtues of using an RSS reader.

Of course everyone should use an RSS reader! Might I recommend Stream for iOS? 😘

Yes, yes, it’s my app, but you should give it a try and if you like it, please, leave me a tip. 🙏🏼

NHS App users in England can now collect medication from a pharmacy without having to visit a GP or health center, according to NHS Digital.

Man oh man would I love to have a national healthcare system that’s fully integrated and lets me manage how I interact with doctors and other healthcare providers.

I’d like it to work like Facebook. Doctors should invite me to join, or I invite them to join, my medical record.

American Healthcare is still stuck in the past. I’d love to see it fixed.

Spotify accuses Apple of ‘extortion’ with new App Store tax

Spotify and others didn’t get what they really wanted. They don’t want to pay a single cent to Apple. Which from a business perspective makes perfect sense.

Guess we’ll see what the law says.

Aki Ito • Business Insider

In the two years I’ve been writing about Americans' changing relationship to work, there’s one theme that’s come up over and over again: loyalty. Whether my stories are about quiet quitting, or job-hopping, or leveraging a job offer from a competitor to force your boss to give you a raise, readers seem to divide into two groups.

There are so many factors to loyalty. The true believers exist and they have little to fear. Then there are the masses who quietly do their jobs and aren’t really seen.

We had a layoff at work last May and it destroyed morale, destroyed the company culture, and left loyalty at an all time low.

I hate to be so cynical but companies aren’t there for you. They’re there to make profit. Loyalty from the company only extends so far to the employee.

I still love my job and work hard at it everyday but I fear being laid off.

Microsoft says Apple’s new App Store rules are ‘a step in the wrong direction’

Of course they think it’s going in the wrong direction! They’re a huge corporation in the business of selling software. They don’t want to hand any of it over to Apple.

Epic’s Tim Sweeney referred to it as “Malicious Compliance.”

Get out the popcorn! 🍿

Vadim Kravcenko

New libraries. New languages. New Frameworks. New Intern coming in and thinking he can rewrite better parts of the code himself. It’s easy to get swept away. But is the newest framework always the best choice? Is a rewrite really going to make everything better? Or is there wisdom in the code that has been around for years, has been tested with crazy edge cases, and has evolved together with the business?

I understand why folks are tempted to rewrite thing, I really do. When I wasn’t a dinosaur of a developer I hand that tendency. “I can make this better”, my brain would say. Sure, there’s occasion to “turn the soil” once in a while and I believe that’s good for a code base. But a full rewrite? No. 🌹

As you can see, even the checkmark wasn’t always there. But one thing remained constant: checkboxes were square.

A square checkbox is something us old timers are accustomed to seeing and changes can be confusing.

The Vision Pro’s checkboxes are confusing but I kind of like UIKit’s toggles as long as you don’t go crazy styling them. 😃

Nilay Patel • The Verge

It sounds amazing, and sometimes it is. But the Vision Pro also represents a series of really big tradeoffs — tradeoffs that are impossible to ignore. Some of those tradeoffs are very tangible: getting all this tech in a headset means there’s a lot of weight on your face, so Apple chose to use an external battery pack connected by a cable. But there are other, more philosophical tradeoffs as well.

I think Nilay did a great job balancing his review of Vision Pro.

It’s a great start but has a really long way to go as a general computing device. That’s my opinion having never used one.

I really believe we’ll get a sense for how we should be using it if we see pictures of Apple Executives wearing it daily to do their jobs. I kind of doubt we’ll see that for anything other than articles written about it.

The iPhone, Watch, and AirPods are devices those same executives probably use everyday. I just can’t see them using Vision Pro as much.

When/if they’re ever able to make them look like regular glasses and they cost around $500-800 I’d consider wearing them all the time. Until then they’re way too expensive for my blood. I would rather spend that kind of green on a new MacBook Pro.

Will Stream support Vision Pro? I think so. I have no idea when, but I think it will.

Court Caramel (Godot x Reader) Part 1

summary

Your first trial against the unknown prosecutor named Godot goes well, but you catched his attention for the strangest thing. He claims you smell like caramel coffee and will go to any length to taste it.

Thing is, you don't have any caramel coffee.

Now you're hunted down by the maniac of a man, and you don't really know if you're so fond of him anymore.

author’s note

It sounded better in my head but i swear i have a plot. Or at least some form of development/twist ;w;

You were a young defense attorney, appointed by your client to defend their interests. You already had a few trials under your belt, proud you were able to find the truth and expose the true culprits, and this case seemed to go about the same way. One of the witnesses was the mastermind behind it, you knew it. Then you had to prove how, and as always, the pieces of the puzzle became clear only later during the trial.

That’s what you told yourself as you were opening the doors from the courtroom n°2, having prepared your case with the defendant in the lobby. As the sun rose in the morning, the truth too will shine on this trial.

However, this time you were greeted by quite the unusual sight. The prosecutor facing you was one you had never seen before. It was neither Payne, one of the Von Karmas, Edgeworth or any of the lesser known lawyers that worked at the courthouse. The man was tall, his tanned skin contrasting with his white mane of hair, and his futuristic looking… visor ? From what was visible of his face, you could spot the small beard under his mouth, and his silver earrings. But that was not enough to tell you who the guy was. He wore a striped cream-colored waistcoat atop of a peacock blue shirt and a pure white tie. The inspector that was to do the opening statement – poor Gumshoe – referred to him as “Godot”, so you assumed that would be his name.

Usually, people have a first and a last name. Also usually, prosecutors are violent and will verbally and sometimes even physically assault you to obtain a guilty verdict. Godot wasn’t usual. As the trial unfolded, he didn’t speak much and let you do your cross-examinations, not even trying to bribe the judge one way or another. He was easygoing, as far as you knew, the most easygoing prosecutor you’d ever seen. He even accepted some of your outrageous demands and helped you get the judge’s approval when your case seemed lost. All you could ask yourself was why ? Why was he doing this ?

He looked like an oddball allright, but to be fair every prosecutor had something that made them stand out. And when the trial ended with a “Not Guilty” verdict, you weren’t sure if you were more surprised about that or about how the prosecution had acted all along.

You were in the lobby, being congratulated by your client and thanked time and time again when Godot irrupted, being his usual mystifying self. You felt his attitude was different though, and when he smirked, you felt a spark of electricity go down to your gut and set it on fire. It was a cocky, predatory smile that left you imagining things because of how suggestive it looked. After a few more indecipherable phrases, the prosecutor left and you were able to snap from your reverie.

You wrapped up the details with your client, and bid them goodbye. You had another case to investigate for the next day and what felt like so little time. You went back to your office in the courthouse – you were lucky enough to have one there – and started typing away. You were so engrossed in your work you didn’t notice the knocks at your door until they were loud enough to startle you. A bit shakey, you rose from your chair and went to open the door.

It was prosecutor Godot.

He lazily walked into the room as you wondered what business he could possibly have with you. You remembered your fantasy from earlier in the day and tried very hard not to think about it more, about him taking care of you right here in your office. Your train of thoughts was interrupted by his low, imperious voice.

“Where is it ?”

You were startled by the question.

“Where is what ?”

The man stared at you from his imposing height, making you feel tiny and helpless in comparison.

“Your coffee blend. I could smell it in the lobby”

You scoffed.

“What are you talking about, I’m not a coffee maniac like you !”

Godot loomed over you, intimidating.

“Tell me what it is, or I’ll have to come taste it myself”

Not knowing what to say, feeling a lot like your client earlier this morning, you babbled some nonsense to try and defuse the situation.

“Uhhh I, I drank some coffee this morning and while working, yes. But it’s the one from the vending machine, it’s nothing special”

You looked at the empty paper cup near your desk. Empty. You wished there was a swig left that you could give to the man in front of you, so that he wouldn’t stare so intently at you. Godot followed your gaze, and bent closer to your face.

“I know this isn’t some vending machine coffee…”

He lowered even more, his breath tickling your neck.

“No ordinary coffee smells this delicious…”

You were stuck into place, not knowing what to do in that absolutely ridiculous situation.

“That caramel aroma… It followed me all day, during the trials…” he whispered in a low voice, close to your ear.

Fuck.

“I couldn’t focus because of how enticing it was” he murmured again “All I could think about was you”

A shiver ran down your spine as he pronounced the words, your gut flipping and flopping around and your mind reeling at what he was suggesting. You weren’t sure this was about coffee anymore, at least not in your case.

You rose your gaze to look at the man, as he had straightened again, only to be met with that hungry smirk plastered on his lips.

“Too bad the cup is empty”

And he smashed his lips on yours with an unnatural passion, mouth hot as if he had a warm drink only moments before. Shocked, you struggled and tried to pry him off, but to no avail. You weren’t mistaken when you had thought the man looked strong. His large hands took ahold of your head as you tried desperately to push him away, your hands so small compared to his chest.

You felt him smirk into the kiss as he forcefully made you open your mouth and his tongue met yours. He tasted so bitter and strong, like the black tar of coffee after forgetting the pot on the stove for at least a day. His tongue roamed your mouth as you were stunned by his own flavor, becoming lightheaded by the lack of air. When he finally pulled away, you were coughing and heaving, fighting the urge to retch.

“What the fuck was that !” you exclaimed between two coughing fits, rubbing your mouth with a tissue and reaching for a water bottle. You needed to wash away the bitterness. It was so strong, so overwhelming, so potent.

Godot seemed so proud of himself, he was grinning and his white teeth were a sharp contrast to his sun-kissed skin.

“Bring some of that coffee next time” he said, slowly walking towards the door to your office, leaving you dumbfounded.

“I don’t HAVE any special coffee !!” you screamed as he opened the door.

He didn’t even bother answering, his footsteps growing gradually softer as he walked away from your office.

After gulping down half a bottle of water and eating a bunch of candies, the bitterness was almost gone from your mouth.

What was that ? What was that crazy, coffee-obsessed creepy prosecutor doing ?

Now you knew the lengths he was ready to go for, but why was he blabbering about caramel ?

He could’ve asked you if he wanted a kiss, even a one night stand; but you weren’t so sure you wanted it anymore. Sure, the guy was sexy and you couldn’t help but think about the way he said he thought about you, but he also seemed like a nutcase.

And he tasted so, so bitter.
