#Kevin Moist

[the-chicken-or-the-banana]

i feel like neil is the type to make the most horrendous food combinations known to humanity that actually turn out to be good? like he's used to living off of scraps so he'll find leftovers or random snacks around the dorm and make absolutly monstrous mixtures

andrew and kevin refuse to touch them at first but matt's always there for his buddy, so he'll try it, cry to dan about how good it is, she'll eat it, and then eventually everyone jumps on the bandwagon. one day neil wakes up in the middle of the night and finds andrew and kevin sitting on the kitchen counter scarfing down his newest concoction with way too much gusto for people who claimed they'd never touch his shit food (but they'll deny it if you ask)

The start of hibernation.

On a cold October day that sent chills down your spine, you could tell something was off in the air. Kevin was always the skinny, short, and shy type of guy in his late 20s. Kevin was always underweight which worried his big-boned bear of a friend Michael. Thus in a last-ditch attempt, he concocted an idea to plum up his friend.

Kevin was kinda skeptical to go, but he ended up going anyway. As he knocked on Micheals's door he could smell a delicious aroma coming from the other side. When Micheal opened the door the smell of a full three-course meal bombarded his nose. His stomach churned in curiosity at what was waiting for him at the dining table. "Yo man, what have you been up to" Said Michael. "Nothing much and you man" responded Kevin. "Life has treated me well so far. Are you ready for the meal of a lifetime" Kevin walked in as he felt an unease as if what was awaiting from him was much more than just a meal. As he sat down on Michael's cushioned chairs he felt all of his doubts go away. Then came the first plate: A full rack of ribs supersaturated with barbecue. With a diced-up buttered-up sausage and a grilled barbecued chicken. With a side of deep-fried salted fries. A diced pickle and a toasted bread. Lastly for a drink a pint of beer. All have a light dusting of something on top of the food.

Kevin wasn't sure if he could eat it all but once he took his first bite he was hypnotized and couldn't do anything but just eat and eat. And after a few minutes, Kevin was done with the plate. He didn't even notice the weight slowly packing on him the chair slightly starined in Kevin's new weight. The next plate was Burgur with a foot-in radius. with a slice of delicious and crunchy bacon. A side of fries and 16 buffalo wings. And a huge chocolate milkshake. And like last time he slurped everything up. Once he looked down everything was gone. His stomach jutted out so much more and his whole body started to become super itchy. He was slowly transforming into a carbon copy of Micheal. The chair has holding on or dear life about to break under the pressure of his weight. Kevin is almost done with his bear transformation.

And just like that, all the food was gone and the only thing that was left was dessert. The last thing left was a triple chocolate cake, with whipped cream to enhance its delicious ad moist taste. Once Kevin took the first bite he fell deeper into the rabbit hole and ate the whole cake.

By the time he was done, he felt like he was about to pop. He broke out of the spell and once he looked down he saw a bear of a man. Kevin stood up to assess the damage that has been done. His stomach was so far out that he couldn't see his feet. And not to mention that but he was also 2 feet taller. He was somewhat aroused but the transformation and felt that his dick had also grown. He was so turned on that he rushed to the bathroom the jerk off. He left Micheal there and turned on with his beautiful masterpiece. Kevin started to touch all around his body exploring all the cracks and crevivces. He loved the feeling of his new coat. His hands had grown and had roughened up. Thus this was a new feeling for him. Because of this, he came faster than he usually did. As he came out with nothing on since non of his old clothes didn't fit he went to the dining room and then reality set in. He was so scared of his new body and saw no one else to blame but Micheal. But Micheal calmed him down and showed him that there was nothing to be afraid of and then he kissed Kevin in a long and passionate kiss.

.. submit .. pairing. kevin moon x female reader genre. smut pov. second person (you, yours, yourself, etc.) synopsis. who woulda thought your best friend would use the handcuffs you bought him for his birthday on you? wc. 1k cw. best friend!kevin, brat taming dom!kevin, bratty sub!reader tw. dubcon (reader is drunk), handcuffs (f receiving), alcohol consumption, pet names (‘darling’, ‘baby’, ‘babe’, ‘beautiful’, ‘friend’?), name calling (‘slut’), praising, degrading, cursing, dirty talk, unprotected sex (wrap your meat fellas), p in v, breeding, choking, teasing, i think that’s it?? a/n. i should just accept the fact that i won’t ever get a birthday fic posted on time for their birthday ☺️ anyway, i wrote this while i was high at 3 in the morning, so i’m sorry if there’s mistakes :}

“I love seeing you so submissive. Give in to me,” he whispered against the back of your ear, running his soft hands along your delicate skin. You were shivering underneath him, body nearly convulsing against his touch, fingers fumbling with the material holding your wrists to the headboard behind you. 

“You’re beautiful like this,” he purred, fingers gently caressing your moist and reddened cheeks. You weren’t just embarrassed, but you were ashamed as well. This was your friend, your best friend, whose bed you had found yourself in, drunk off your ass without a care in the world who was watching as you stripped yourself of all your clothes, shaking your sexy body in his face. You thought, without a doubt in your mind, that there was not a chance that he would act on any ounce of desire he had toward you; especially since you thought he wasn’t interested in you in that light whatsoever. 

So, obviously, when you were pinned down to the bed underneath him, his kisses rough and full of passion, you were well beyond the line of shock, skipping right into complete and utter dumbfoundedness. Lost in the heat of the moment, you hadn’t even realized he used the pink fluffy handcuffs you gifted to him as a joke on his birthday just a few days ago to connect your wrists to the posts at the top of his bed. 

“Quit teasing,” you snapped, jerking your face away from him. You just wanted this agonizing moment over with, it was way too much for you, honestly. The overwhelming embarrassment, shame, disappointment, you were just a mess. A hot mess, sure, but still a mess, nonetheless. 

“Ah, but I thought you were into foreplay, darling? If I remember correctly, you always bitch whenever you don’t get any,” he hummed, cockiness radiating from his tone. You cringed at how insensitive he sounded, knowing damn well why you wanted to move on with this little scenario that he insisted on playing out longer than what is needed. 

“Just… just put it in or something… I’m already… turned on enough…” you could barely stumble out the right words to explain to him where you were coming from. You had never felt so degraded in your life, and you’d barely even gotten anywhere with him. 

He chuckled at the tone of your voice, hearing how impatient you were becoming. He really did find great amusement in your suffering…

He slowly slipped his hands down his own body, tugging his pants off and hesitatingly lifting his shirt up next.

On instinct, you wanted to reach out and touch him, but it only resulted in you rubbing at the fluffiness of the handcuffs containing your wrists. He faked a pout as he stared down at your desperate form, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, “Aw, does baby wanna be let free? Do you wanna touch me?”

“N-no! They’re just… bothersome…” you were so easy to read that it made you sick to the stomach with how much your tone gave away your truth. It only resulted in  playful eye roll from him, but it didn’t take long for him to push his cock into your clenching hole. You gasped, the back of your head digging into the pillow below, nails fervently scratching and clawing at the sheets nearest to them. 

“Fuck, you’re so tight, babe,” he groaned, pushing every inch inside you agonizingly slow. 

You hissed, “Why are you doing everything so fucking slow, Kev? Why don’t you fuck me like a man? Do something right, goddamn.”

His eyes widened at your outburst, but you were just as surprised by your words as he was. Only, you failed to react quick enough before the cataclysm of rage fell over the man on top of you. You squealed as soon as you felt his entire length dip inside you, only to be pulled out and shoved right back in. His hips were brutal against you, just as you had provoked him. You realized your mistake as soon as his reaction was pinpointed on your newly abused pussy. 

Your legs looped around his waist, hoping to stabilize his pace a little, maybe so it wouldn’t be so unforgiving and sporadic, but it didn’t help. If anything, it made him more pissed off, growling, “Why are you moving, slut?”

You readjusted your legs again, spreading them far apart, allowing him full access to everything you had to offer. It’s like you were giving yourself to him, allowing him to take everything from you, your own best friend. 

“And how do you suppose we go back to being friends after this?” he asked, upper lip twitching along with his cock still pounding into your tight cunt, precum slipping out into your wetness enveloping him. “You think we can do that?”

You shook your head violently, eyes shut tightly in an attempt to focus on his words instead of the intense pleasure you were feeling, your cries and screams evidence of that. 

“You gonna let me use this pathetic, whore pussy whenever I want then? We’re not friends anymore, that’s long gone. Now I’m gonna fuck you every single fucking day to my heart’s content. You’re gonna fulfill every desire of mine, like the good little slut you are, aren’t you?” he gripped your neck, squeezing enough to make your eyes pop open and hands struggle at the fuzz coating your wrists for freedom. You nodded, drool pooling around the corners of your mouth, lids drooping. 

“I’ve always wanted this. Always wanted to use you like this, abuse your pretty cunt, fill it up with my cum. Always dreamt of this moment, beautiful. I’m gonna have so much fun with you now that I finally have you in my grasp,” he hummed, face inches from yours, each breath you took just recycled air from his lips. “You’re mine now, you’re never gonna get away.”

With one last thrust, lips colliding into yours, his hot, creamy liquid spewed out inside of your dripping cunt. Your orgasm was soon to follow, your tiny and weak body trembling under him as his hips glided against yours to help you ride it out. Your tongues were entwined, your meek whimpers falling against his recently explored mouth. 

He slowly pulled away, a trail of spit falling between your lips as he analyzed your dreamy expression, your eyes seemingly in a daze. He smirked, leaving a gentle peck to your nose, “I think I might like you, friend.”

Bob's Endings - Class of 31 AU

(theres art here I swear dont leave) Alright quick explanation: The class of 31 au doesn't have a cohesive timeline. It has multiple endings and possibilities depending on the characters choices. There are technically 6 endings (out of 12 currently, though I do plan to write more!) involving Bob:

all the characters die

they all survive

only one dies (x4)

these are all the endings where they're murdered. I drew them and gave them a little monologue to go with it like it was a Class of 09 ending. anyways enjoy!!

obvious cw for blood, death, cursing.. all that

RADFORD:

“Have you ever been cold? No, like really cold. So cold that it’s painful. So cold, your fingers turn purple. So cold, your palm gets frozen to the metal floor and you tear off your skin pulling it off. Yeah, that was fun.

Okay, listen, I thought the freezer was a good idea. I was high as hell on Xanax, and when we were all running I knew I couldn’t get far. I could hardly see my own feet, so hiding was my only option. I had two options, the freezer or the garbage chute. I shut off the freezer before I hid in it! Then, it was more like a… moist closet than an actual freezer.

When I heard Bob walk passed it, but not open the door, I thought I was so lucky. Then, the freezer made this sort of… aching sound? I heard the fan turn on and realized he knew full well I was in the freezer.

I don’t know how long it took for my body to actually shut down, I just realized that I couldn’t see my breath anymore, because I wasn’t breathing. I couldn’t move, either. Bob watched the whole thing like it was a cinematic masterpiece. The little window on the door frosted over after a while, but I knew he was still out there.

I’m the reason my friends got away. I was putting on a show for the cannibal and they all found an exit. They don’t even care, I know they don’t.”

STREBER:

“Woow, who would’ve guessed? Spending the night in a creepy mansion to play Fuck, Marry, Kill after a cannibal escaped prison was a bad idea?

..[Streber drops the bimbo accent]

I’m kidding. I don’t sound like that.

Dying wasn’t that bad, honestly. The pain of getting my arm ripped off only lasted a second, and it was a little fascinating. Once the adrenaline faded, I mean. It was such a mindfuck. I could still feel my arm attached to me, but I could see it in his hand. It’s just a psychological thing, a ghost limb I’m pretty sure, but fuck it threw me for a loop. I bled out fast, the world went dark and then I was dead.

But.. man, what a shitty way to die, right? In a slutty vampire outfit in an abandoned mansion in a shitty town after saving the lives of guys I don’t even like. Assholes owe their lives to me.

I guess this is a good time to get stuff off my chest. Last words, regrets? Hm…

I regret giving Radford bulimia back in high school. Actually, no that was Kevin’s fault, never mind.

I… regret coming to this house in the first place. No, that doesn’t count.

I regret shoving Kevin off the balcony. Yeah. I saved his life, lost mine, and I bet that apathetic mother fucker doesn’t even care. He’s probably upset that he dislocated his arm, but hey, at least you’re still alive!

…

It’s probably weird to hear me say big words, huh? Hahah...”

ETHAN:

“ ‘The ultimate possession was, in fact, the taking of the life. And then... The physical possession of the remains.’ Ted Bundy.

…I love that quote.

In a way… Murder is a little flattering. If I could speak or move... I’d thank Bob. Life was boring, my death was interesting. It was straight out of a movie.

I was running, and then the platform of my boot awkwardly folded over, causing me to collapse to the floor. My ankle wasn’t even that bad, but I acted like it was completely ruined. I even did the horror movie thing where you scoot away backward, while the killer slowly approaches you, knowing he’s got you cornered.

I was so giddy with endorphins. As much as I wanted to pretend to be scared, I couldn’t help but laugh. I wasn’t scared, I was overjoyed. Like.. like… when you reach the height of a rollercoaster and you know the big drop is coming… Like when you hang upside down on the monkey bars and feel the blood rush to your head! Singing together with all your friends, all our voices cracking in sync as we reach the hallelujah chorus! Bowser casting his big fucking ring of fire and knowing full well you're not going to beat this boss right now but you’re gonna fuckin’ try anyway! Watching my little sister graduate middle school! Halloween!!

Feeling the cold steel plunge into your abdomen.. feeling your blood drip onto the floor and knowing it's never getting out. Hearing that your body was never found, and only you and your killer know where it is…

It’s flattery. It’s empowering, it’s art… on a certain level, it’s so fucking rad…

..

I’m glad the others got away. I was the only victim... I was special.”

KEVIN:

“Watching your dad kill himself kind of fucks you up.

I don’t know what happened. I just.. Stopped running. I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t cornered, I just… stopped running from him.

When he found me, I just stared at him. His whole sadistic thing just disappeared… He stared at me, too. If I had the energy, I probably would’ve opened my arms in surrender, but instead, I just stood there with my arms to the side. He got the memo, though…

We were inches apart, and I wasn't scared. I wasn't scared of the murderer looking straight into my eyes.

What fucked me up is just how upset he looked. A murderer, a cannibalistic murderer was staring into my eyes and he looked terrified of me.

After that, he sort of…nudged me against a wall. He didn't shove me or grab me, he just sort of waved me against it and I followed. He slit my throat easily. It was a quick slash, and I was dead. It didn't feel like this was for him. He didn't kill me because he wanted to or because he wanted to eat me. Maybe that's how it started, but it felt like… a mercy kill.

He didn't do anything with my body, either. He let me slide to the floor, then left.

…

I hope there are therapists in the afterlife.. or like a 4chan message board I can rant on, because what the fuck does this mean.”

one day i will have the courage to share the ending doc ok today is not that day

ART INFO/BACKGROUND

COLLAGES

1. An assemblage of magazine cutouts, anatomical models and toy figures. This collage includes a Batman toy holding a cotton swab, a picture of The Rolling Stones, a Chim Chim toy, anatomical bodies, baby figures, diseased vaginas, $50 dollars, an emaciated body, a monster baby, etc.

2. Chim Chim toy figure set against a collage of medical magazine cutouts of diseased vaginas and a picture of Kiss, used for the inlay of the Nevermind release.

3. An assemblage of Stargazer lilies, anatomical models, baby figures, skeletons, turtle shells, and a heart-shaped box. Photographed by Charles Peterson for the reverse cover of the In Utero release.

4. Kurt Cobain's self-portrait composed of a Nirvana comic book tearout and a pencil drawn, emaciated body. This collage was published in Journals, but according to an article written by Tim Appelo in the Seattle Weekly in 2002, journalists were banned from printing this page in articles or reviews, ostensibly because of its dark content. Above the drawing-collage are six lines cut-and-pasted from an Alicia Ostriker poem called "A Young Woman, A Tree". The six lines, which begin the poem, describe a girl who passes a blooming tree, and envies its beauty, and on top to the poem is the word "Swingers" (in Cobain's handwriting); it has been suggested that by juxtaposing these lines with his emaciated self-portrait, Cobain was making a comment on his own loss of creativity and his personal image being in contrast to his public one. The poem fragment is:

Be making love,

Be making poetry,

Be exploding, be speeding through the universe

Like a photon, like a shower

Of yellow blazes—

5. An assemblage of Stargazer lilies and a heart-shaped box on tin foil, used for the front cover of the Heart-Shaped Box single release.

The love is real! Part 3

Stephen strange x reader

Part 2 part 4

What fix? She was baffled to think what he means, what are his feelings for her? Does he ever realise how she felt when he left her on their wedding night, even though she said so but she was new to everything, she needed to be clear of his feelings so she asked, "answer me this, why were you jealous?"

"I'm jealous because..." He hesitated, he didn't want to bring out his feelings, he could clearly see she wants to get out of there, he barely new the truth but he finally said, "because I like you".

Out of everything she didn't expect him to confess this quickly, it's hard for her to trust anyone, she won't let her heart break whatsoever. So she stared at him blankly not knowing what to say.

"Do you like me? Or atleast will you try to do so?" Stephen asked.

"I said, I don't dislike you" y/n said blankly her voice a little shakey.

"That's good" Stephen said smiling, his eyes teary too, both of them stared eachother with moist eyes, one scared to admit her feelings and one scared that he admitted.

She couldn't believe she could get genuine love, especially from a marriage which is for the sake of a mission she shrugged off and said, "I'm, going to have a talk with Kevin".

Stephen let's her go and says,

"yeah I'm going to check on them too, we could talk later as well you know?"

Talk! Yes talk. This was the right time to ask him something she's been wondering for so long she turned to him and enquired, "may I ask you something?"

She was afraid he's being kind what if she falls in love with him, what if he's not the kinda person he shows. His eyes lit up with this question, he asked, "sure what is it?"

"If you like me, then why were you rude that night? Why you left me alone in that room ? It really upset me".

"Just like you I too was confused , thinking about this marriage, I didn't intend to behave like that, but if I did, I'm very very sorry."

Is he still confused about the marriage? She thought,she must not get attached to him. So she runs and freaks out, "you're not my husband, I don't accept you".

Stephen sighs , no matter whatever he does she ain't listening, he sat on the stairs. He then finally speaks "you know if I had too, then I think I... Well I might".

She turns to him and snaps "you might what?"

He looks at and says "I might love you, in fact, I love you". These weren't the word she was expecting. They both stood still, he waiting for an answer and she, still processing what she heard and then when she got her senses back finally uttered "you what?"

"I love you" he said, she still can't believe it, is it real? All she ever wanted was a loving marriage, can this forced one would be a loving one any how? But no, what if he's lying, just so she stays till the mission and then he leaves her? She grew more stony and said "are you trying to claim me forcefully?"

To be continued....

Kevin quotes to show ppl show false he is🫶

“ KEVIN: How delightful! I'm totally disgusted by pasta salad. Can't stand the taste or the smell. In fact, to look at it causes me to heave. But thank you, that’s so kind.”

…

“ I don't even know where to begin cleaning up all of this blood.

KEVIN: [slightly pleased sound]

CARLOS: I'm sorry did you say something?

KEVIN: Nope. I just like your story. Carry on.”

…

“ LAUREN: Thanks for that recipe, Kevin. My favorite holiday dish is radish casserole. It's easy to make. You just pull the stems off, then using a peeler, you remove the red skin. Then place the radish in a food processor and blend until it is a stiff paste. Pour onto a plate and voila.

KEVIN: I still don't know who killed that starling.”

…

“ KEVIN: Oh it burns.

LAUREN: It's acid.

KEVIN: Look at all the little bubbles forming on my wrist! I can see my veins!”

…

“My church: The Desert Bluffs Temple of Joy. As you know I have written many texts on the Smiling God through the years, detailing my visions and the many holy messages of our destroyer.”

…

“ Hang on. Let me text her... [he's texting Lauren] What... about... a... monument... a tower... no... a Chasm... a deep sculpted pit... showing... our dedication... to the Smiling God. Announce that instead. Love, Kevin.”

…

“ They're carrying signs which read "Separate Church and State" and "Libraries! Not Forced Labor!" They can’t be upset about the Mudstone Abyss. ”

…

“ I can see your smiling faces, but I want them to be smiling even more, and to help you with that, I will tell you my vision. Of this monument. Of the Smiling God. ”

…

“ Mayor Lauren Mallard called for a halt to construction despite adamant protests from the media. The media spent the past week constantly texting and calling the mayor, telling her that construction must continue, because it has been the media's dream since childhood to build a grand physical testament to the Smiling God's endless happiness and love. ”

…

“ Maybe the media should try texting the mayor again.... [he's texting] "Why... is construction... still halted... Lauren?" Oh that sounds a bit aggressive. Let's brighten that tone a bit with... "bleeding-gums emoji... spider with human eyes emoji... cry-laughing emoji..." There we go.”

…

“ Think about the Smiling God, its mammoth wriggling form and thousands of legs emerging from the earth and devouring your body. Envision your whole self nestled in the moist, loving belly of the divine beast. Smile while you do it, Desert Bluffs. Keep Smiling. Keep...”

(Theres more but a lot of it is in the book It Devours! and im not in the mood to pull it out rn)

The Merry Whump of May - Medi Whump May – Day 21

@themerrywhumpofmay: desperation - hiking trail

@mediwhumpmay: field medicine

Annoying conversations ;-), road rash, accident, unconsciousness

"Yeah, let's go hiking together." Peters words were still running through his head. "It'll be fun."

Sam didn't doubt that it could have been fun, but that was before Peter and Emily bailed on him, leaving him to spend the whole damn day alone with Tonya.

She was a nice girl, but he had let himself be talked into a second date from Pete. Oh, he wanted to slap himself for his stupidity.

Now, he had about 8 miles of her undivided attention and unbearable hours of talking without any other distraction, yeah.

Peter was gonna burn for this.

Tonya was really nice and not stupid, but her chosen topics about new shoes or her brothers' gorgeous new boyfriend felt like torture. Exactly the conversations he wanted to have or more endure on his day off. Sam would have preferred to discuss the right temperature for boiling some water instead.

Actually, he would have loved to turn on his heal and make a run for it. After some more information about her grandma's fungus, (he hadn't really listen for quiet some time, so Sam didn't know, if it was a condition, problems with a moist basement or something to eat), he just knew he wouldn't survive this hike, when she kept on talking.

So he welcomed the following steep descent they were about to take. These were the moments, he was looking forward to, when she actually was using her mouth for breathing only.

Out of desperation, the short idea of a little push to her back jumped through his head, when they reached the edge of the cliff. He hushed his own thoughts.

"You wanna go first or shall I?" Sam was surprised by his own steady voice.

"Oh, I go then." He couldn't help himself, her smile was gorgeous nonetheless. 'Maybe, he should asked about that fungus thing again after all...'

"Okay, I follow a few steps behind. So you won't get any gravel on your head."

The first few steps were easy, but the path got steeper. She slipped, fell and slid down a bit. "Ah shit." Tonya hissed, her right hand burning, while she settled on a bigger rock. "You all right?" Sam closed up fast.

He gently took her hand in his own. "Damn." It was dusty, some road rash, little drops of blood were starting to stain brown into red. Sam grabbed for the bottle at the side of her backpack and washed the dirt away. He untied the bandana from his neck and signalled her to move her hand while he dressed her wound. "I'll make a knot now. Say, if it's too tight, okay." He smiled at her reassuring, she hissed. "Anything else? Your legs okay?" She just nodded, having a look on her hand.

Tonya still insisted on leading the way. After some hesitation they made good progress, which let her start talking again. "You know, Kevin just recently brought my brother this marvellous neckless..." Sam instantly zoned out. He didn't care for their relationship, he was just annoyed hearing about happy people or relationships and it kind of made the impression, that she was spreading hints in this direction. That fungus surely had to have been more interesting.'

Neither of them was prepared, when Tonya slipped again. Just out of reflex, she grabbed the first thing that appeared to bring any kind of support. Unfortunately it was Sam's lower leg.

The motion swapped his feet from under him, he unconsciously turned to the side, when she pulled him with. But only after his hands tried to catch his fall and were also slipping on the gravel surface, the side of his head connected with something hard. A last sensation of warm liquid splashing into his face, everything already dark, when the soft skin of his cheek was dragged over rough surface. 'Yeah, let's go hiking together. It'll be fun.' Peters voice rushed briefly through his head.

Tonya's scream was ringing in his ears until it faded into silence when he finally lost consciousness.

the brazenness of the kitchen appliance people trying to make steam ovens happen. “because it cooks with steam, this kind of oven keeps food moist, locking in nutrients and flavor while canceling out the need for extra fats and oils” yes kevin i’ve eaten a steamed vegetable without butter before, why do you think this is a selling point for any appliance, much less a $3,000 built-in

Without a Trace

Chapter 44

Approaching the Valorrune sluice system, they suddenly see just how far a drop the ship will have to make to continue their journey. The view from this high up is quite stunning, and to the east one can clearly spot the vast expanse of the swamp. Ara gets incredibly excited and tells everybody that will listen about his beautiful home. (R: ‘I’ve actually never been - is it as moist as they say?’ A, excitedly + N, disgusted: ‘so moist’)  

Before heading through the elaborate sluices, the Pathfinder makes a brief stop at the nearby outpost to register their passing and declare goods. However, they find the outpost mysteriously empty and the captain announces that they’ll spend the night here to see if they turn up, before moving forward and reporting this in Anamdael. The party offers to investigate the outpost while they wait, and has a look inside the little building on the cliffside. It seems like there were about ten people living in these quarters, and the way they left their stuff lying around on the counter suggests no struggle or sudden departure. It simply looks as though they could come back at any moment. Remington doesn’t sense any fiends or undead creatures nearby, and Annori’s detect magic only points her to the mechanics of the sluices. Meanwhile, Ara checks the ledger and finds that the last ship to pass through here was the Pathfinder, the ship they were on now, on its way from Anamdael to Coldvale previously. The last ship before that was the Maribel, lead by captain Nydrin, which seems to be a cargo ship. Remembering Notsk and the severed hand they found in his shipments, he then checks for any ships passing this way on the day after Notsk left Coldvale. He finds that the Maribel did indeed pass through here on its way to Feirenwald that day. Ara off-handedly mentions Notsk to Remington, before realizing Remington has no idea about him being a murder suspect. They quickly fill him in about their investigation of the merchant’s representative. (R: ‘Oh wow, so you’re legitimate investigators!’ A: ‘You didn’t think we were legit?’ R: ‘No I always thought you were legit, I just had no idea what exactly it was you were doing.’ N: ‘To be fair, neither do we half the time’) Ara takes out the shard they found after battling the specter on ghost island, to see if it responds to anything, but it doesn’t seem to do much. Kevin suddenly remembers from his previous trip through these sluices that the outpost has another way out beside the water: there’s a small airship to efficiently take care of the shift changes. After a short search they find a notebook detailing that the last shift change was 1,5 weeks ago, and the next is due in 2 weeks.

They head outside and find a ladder leading up to a small platform in the cliffside, where the airship supposedly docks. They all climb the ladder, Kevin nervously so, but find nothing up there either. Remington sighs that people have really been disappearing left and right lately. The group agrees, before it sinks in - how does he know that? Remington explains that on his travels this summer, multiple places he visited were dealing with missing people. A girl in Louton, the matron of an orphanage in Rockwell, a bunch of children who were kidnapped by a Weeping Woman… The banshee was defeated, but didn’t leave any shards like the specter on ghost island did. (A: ‘Did it poop out anything? Do you remember?’ R: ‘I feel like that would be a pretty memorable event’) The group now digs deep into their memory of the disappearances they’ve been investigating, but have a hard time puzzling it all together without Raiden, who not only took all the notes, but also carried the list that L had given them. (N+K both roll natural ones on this intelligence check lol) Ara does recall that both sets of disappearances seemed to have a clear end point with their respective murders, so either this missing person’s case at the outpost was completely unrelated, or it meant the start of a new cycle, meaning the pace had increased dramatically. The group now tells Remington about the bigger conspiracy behind Notsk’s suspected crimes, and about the mysterious group called the Masked Ones that’s violently warned them to stay out of their business. Remington awkwardly remarks how one might mention such details before recruiting a father of three into the party, but quickly recovers when Ara mentions the banshee he just said to have fought.

The swamp elf expresses his frustration about Raiden holding most of the evidence they’d collected, and Remington notes he’s very confused about this Raiden fellow and their relationship with him. They want to find the guy, but they seem to dislike him, and they’re also trying to find this cult? Or is the cult trying to find them? Is Raiden part of the cult?? At this point, the other paladin, Tristan, joins them on the platform to ask if they’ve found anything yet. He’d really love to solve this before moving on to Anamdael. Clearly a little disappointed that there hasn’t been any exciting leads, he suggests they search the office once more. No new information turns up, but the group is reminded of another person who seemed to have just vanished into thin air: Niles Candler, at the Nifty Squirrel inn. They suspected his disappearance might have had something to do with the fae, could it be that the folks at this outpost had also been whisked away by these creatures to another plane? Annori recalls that portals to different planes can be opened on leylines, but they can also appear spontaneously in places of power. There is a lot of magic present in the mechanics of the sluices… Kevin knows that this structure was built roughly 200 years ago, during the formation of the current empire, so it would be strange for a power that’s been around for this long to attract attention all of a sudden. Unsure of what else to do, the group returns to the ship, where Ara shares their meager findings with the captain. He then suggests to the group that they keep a close eye on the outpost during the night, and they split up in pairs for night watch shifts. Annori quickly claims a spot next to Remington.

character song tag game!

tagged by @nerice <333 to pick some theme songs for my main characters! This is such a fun tag game concept thank you thank you<3 tagging no one b/c i’m shy, if you’re reading this you should play too though etc

Answering for hbtw main girls as always! 

io: the woods // ohbijou

And I go outside  To see familiar lives Race through to finish lines then start again Come on!

it’s so hard to choose just one top song for her (please know that i was excruciatingly close to going with end of time by cocorosie instead) but this is her very first one and still i think the best one for bringing together both her cautious exploration project and her observer’s detachment :’) that’s my girl

anymede: instigator // kevin devine

I keep it down, do it just like you tell me to I draw it straight as I possibly can I come as close to the truth as I ever do I take some liberties, I am what I am

my first instinct was actually a song with an extremely different tone for her (dig up the dead by mansions) but i think at the end of the day this is a less esoteric portrait of her (an extremely good girl) and her big stupid shounen protagonist dream achievable-only-through-extensive-bloodshed, but also that none of it is as complex as that :’) hope this makes sense lol

robin: the courtesan has sung // sunset rubdown Think of the scene where a washed-up actor wipes the makeup off his wife And says, “Morticians must have took you for a whore”

:’) unlucky girl gets kind of a mean song. partially for the sake of atmosphere but also partially for some literal facts of various secret plots and plotlines she’s up to >:)

hierai: saltkin // purity ring

The crawling animals will seek all things warm, all things moist I will relentlessly shame myself In rest, in wake, in front of my truly born beloved

another extremely early status-defining song! i’ve been thinking recently about hi’s early heavy association with salt as a taste specifically because how it’s ended up tying into multiple later plotlines involving significant Teardrops / their place at the root of all things. not really related to the song just a little hihi fact

and this post is very long already but i’m obviously not going to leave it without emen songs so. a pair of classics:

emery: sleeping sickness // city and colour

I’ve become a simple souvenir of someone’s kill And like the sea, I’m constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul As if the great divide could swallow me whole

:’) it’s the time of year to be thinking abt this song for various reasons but some of the ways it touches down for him (a simple souvenir) are incredibly specific, also he deserves a little wallowing in misery every now and then

ehen: rabbit will run // iron & wine 

Last I saw mother, she acted surprised When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child ‘Cause a rabbit will run, but good dogs together go wild

:). i will not be commenting on this one actually, even though i have many many thoughts about it, because they are all deeply embarrassing<3 good night

Seeing Clearly: The Evolution And Impact Of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses have revolutionized the way millions of people see the world, offering a convenient and versatile alternative to traditional eyeglasses. From their humble beginnings to the cutting-edge technologies of today, they have continually evolved, providing wearers with enhanced comfort, clarity, and freedom.

A Brief History:

The concept of contact lenses dates back centuries, with some of the earliest recorded attempts at vision correction involving crude glass discs placed directly on the eye. However, it wasn’t until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that significant advancements were made in the development of modern medical devices.

In 1887, German glassblower F.A. Muller produced the first scleral lenses, large glass shells that covered the entire eye to correct vision. These early lenses were cumbersome and uncomfortable, but they laid the foundation for further innovation in the field.

One of the most significant breakthroughs came in 1949 when California optician Kevin Tuohy developed the first corneal contact lens made from a lightweight plastic material called polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). This material was more comfortable to wear than glass and allowed for greater oxygen permeability, reducing the risk of eye irritation and infection.

Advancements in Material Science:

Since Tuohy’s pioneering work, contact lens technology has continued to advance rapidly, driven by innovations in material science and manufacturing techniques. Today, they are made from a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits in terms of comfort, breathability, and vision correction.

Soft lenses, introduced in the 1970s, revolutionized the industry by providing a more comfortable alternative to rigid gas-permeable lenses. These lenses are made from hydrogels or silicone hydrogels, which contain water and allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, keeping the eyes moist and healthy.

In recent years, silicone hydrogel lenses have emerged as the gold standard in contact lens technology, offering superior oxygen permeability and comfort compared to traditional hydrogel lenses. These lenses are highly breathable, making them ideal for extended wear and overnight use.

Customization and Precision:

Another major advancement in contact lens technology is the ability to customize lenses to fit the unique curvature and prescription needs of each individual’s eyes. This level of customization is made possible through computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques, which allow for precise control over lens parameters such as base curve, diameter, and power.

Custom lenses offer several advantages over off-the-shelf lenses, including improved comfort, vision quality, and overall satisfaction. By tailoring the fit and design of the lens to the specific needs of the wearer, custom lenses can provide a more personalized and optimized vision correction solution.

Specialized Lenses for Unique Needs:

In addition to standard corrective lenses, there are specialized lenses available to address a wide range of vision and eye health issues. For example, toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, a common refractive error caused by irregularly shaped corneas. Multifocal lenses offer simultaneous correction for presbyopia, a condition that affects near vision as we age.

Furthermore, specialty lenses such as scleral lenses and hybrid lenses are used to treat more complex vision problems, including keratoconus, irregular corneas, and post-surgical complications. These lenses provide enhanced comfort and visual acuity for patients with challenging eye conditions, allowing them to enjoy improved quality of life and independence.

The Future of Contact Lenses:

Looking ahead, their future holds exciting possibilities for continued innovation and advancement. Researchers are exploring new materials, coatings, and manufacturing techniques to further improve the comfort, breathability, and optical performance of lenses.

One area of focus is the development of smart contact lenses that integrate electronic sensors and microelectronics to monitor health metrics such as intraocular pressure, glucose levels, and tear composition. These wearable devices have the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases such as glaucoma and diabetes-related eye conditions.

Furthermore, advancements in 3D printing technology are enabling the rapid prototyping and production of custom lenses with unprecedented precision and accuracy. This technology holds promise for streamlining the lens fitting process and reducing lead times for patients in need of specialized vision correction.

Addressing Environmental Concerns:

As contact lens usage continues to rise globally, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of discarded lenses and packaging materials. Traditional soft lenses are typically disposed of in household waste, where they contribute to plastic pollution in landfills and waterways.

To mitigate these environmental concerns, manufacturers are exploring eco-friendly materials and recycling programs for lenses and packaging. Some companies have introduced biodegradable contact lenses made from plant-based materials, while others offer recycling initiatives that allow users to return used lenses and packaging for proper disposal and recycling.

Furthermore, advancements in lens design and production techniques aim to minimize material waste and energy consumption throughout the manufacturing process. By adopting sustainable practices and promoting responsible disposal habits among consumers, the contact lens industry is working to reduce its environmental footprint and protect the planet for future generations.

Enhancing Comfort and Convenience:

In addition to improving vision correction, contact lens manufacturers are continuously striving to enhance wearer comfort and convenience. One area of focus is the development of moisture-retaining materials and surface coatings that help prevent dryness and irritation, particularly during extended wear.

Advancements in lens design, such as thinner profiles and smoother edges, aim to minimize friction and discomfort, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience throughout the day. Additionally, innovations in packaging and storage solutions, such as preservative-free saline solutions and hygienic contact lens cases, contribute to maintaining lens integrity and freshness.

Moreover, the rise of daily disposable contact lenses has transformed the way many people approach vision correction, offering the ultimate in convenience and hygiene. With daily disposables, wearers enjoy the benefits of fresh, sterile lenses every day without the need for cleaning and storage, making them an ideal choice for busy lifestyles and occasional wear.

Expanding Access to Vision Care:

Contact lenses play a crucial role in providing vision correction for individuals with diverse needs and lifestyles, including those who are unable to wear traditional eyeglasses due to factors such as occupation, sports, or personal preference. By offering a wide range of lens options and customization capabilities, contact lens providers aim to ensure that everyone has access to quality vision care.

Furthermore, initiatives aimed at increasing affordability and accessibility to lenses, such as subsidized programs and telemedicine consultations, help break down barriers to care for underserved communities. Remote monitoring technologies and virtual fitting services also enable patients to receive personalized vision correction solutions from the comfort of their own homes, reducing the need for in-person appointments and travel.

Conclusion:

Contact lenses have come a long way since their inception, evolving from bulky glass shells to sophisticated vision correction devices tailored to individual needs. With ongoing advancements in material science, manufacturing technology, and design innovation, contact lenses continue to offer unparalleled comfort, clarity, and convenience for millions of wearers worldwide. As we look to the future, the possibilities for contact lens technology are virtually limitless, promising even greater improvements in vision correction, eye health, and overall quality of life. Whether it’s custom-designed lenses for optimal comfort and precision or smart lenses that monitor our health in real-time, the future of contact lenses is undoubtedly bright, bringing into focus a world of possibilities for clearer vision and healthier eyes.

Tips and Tricks for Preventing Pest Infestations in Your Plumbing System

By Teri Silver

Dealing with pests in your plumbing is a problem no homeowner wants to deal with. Critters crawling through your pipes and drains are not only bad for your plumbing but can cause major damage to your property and pose health risks for you and your family.

Here are the top 5 ways to protect your plumbing from pests:

1. Seal Off Entrances and Exits

Rodents, like mice and rats, can squeeze through even the tiniest cracks. Because of this, it’s important to seal the doors and windows throughout your home as much as possible and to quickly repair any cracks or damage. You can also use door sweeps and weather stripping for extra security. If there are holes or tears in your windows or screens, make sure they are replaced, and patch up bigger openings with mesh, wood, and concrete. ●      Mesh screens can keep even the tiniest insects out of your home.

●      Drain covers, especially those with raised edges, can be beneficial for showers and tubs, preventing larger bugs from entering while also trapping hair and debris.

2. Inspect for Moisture

Rodents and insects are most attracted to moist and humid areas. Make sure you don’t have any leaks in your crawlspace, basement, laundry room, attic, or garage. Handheld moisture meters are available at home improvement stores and online, and if necessary, you can also buy moisture absorbers to help rid the dampness.

3. Conduct Regular Inspections and Cleanings

Bugs, like cockroaches, are the most common creepy crawlies found in plumbing. Because of the dark and dank corners to hide in, you’ll often find roaches in bathrooms and in the kitchen behind the stove.

Unfortunately, roaches multiply pretty quickly, so if you see one, there are likely a lot more, and you may have an infestation on your hands. So check your plumbing and drains consistently. Leftover food and residue in drains are the perfect place for pests like roaches to survive and thrive.  Roaches find these damp spaces ideal for laying eggs which sets the stage for an even bigger infestation in your home. 

To combat this:

●      Establish a regular cleaning schedule: set aside a day every week to conduct a thorough inspection of your pipes and to clean the drains. Use natural cleaning solutions like baking soda and vinegar combinations. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. Let it sit for about a half hour and then pour a boiling cup of hot water down the drain to flush it all out.

●      Declutter your home. A messy home with garbage strewn about can attract rodents. Aim to clean not only on a weekly or daily basis, but conduct seasonal deep cleanings.

4. Be Careful When Remodeling

Home remodeling presents a lot of unique challenges. For instance, termites may be drawn to wooden structures if they are not kept dry. Mice and rats can find their way in while your equipment is being replaced. And of course, open pipes are a perfect entryway for bugs and rodents.

5. Hire an Expert

The best way to protect your property from unwanted pests is to hire an experienced plumber. Here at Kevin Szabo Jr Plumbing,  we can inspect your pipes to ensure everything is sealed and secure. So, give us a call. We are here to service you anytime, including emergency plumbing services across the Illinois area and suburbs.  Call us today at 708-845-7922.
