#Truly the Multi-Tasker of All Time

[how-to-train-your-pomni]

Jax: My girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I felt like surprising her with a lovely trip down the Not-So-Bottomless Pit Caine created. When she asked me if I had anything planned for Wednesday, her special day, I said "No". Y'know, like a liar.

Rook Hunt x Shapeshifter!Reader

The hardest thing you’ve ever done in your long, long life is climb the corporate ladder. The idol one, to be precise. Humans just can’t be pleased! It’s proven! With all your visual tweaks, and genre changes, and half-assed performances (that was later - your first couple debuts were flawless), you’re done. Officially, depressingly, quitting. The only thing to do with all the names and character ideas in the back of your head is retire, and focus on the “natural” path. Eating the people you wanted to have love you. In a way, it’s not all that different..

You’ll almost miss the limelight- Certainly not the stalkers and spandex, but definitely the attention. The best place in the modern world to avoid your past identities, believe it or not, is the city! Morphing into someone approachable’s easy game- You smooth out your celebrity cheekbones, let the fat of your chest and thighs redistribute into an average body, and when you’re just about done changing the shape of your teeth, it’s time to meet up with your date!

Humans are easy, a breed of mundane that you’d never find among your own kind- So unguarded in this era of seeing thousands of faces, how are you supposed to pick out things to steal if you don’t have firsthand experience? A mole here, or a scar there, human features definitely outweigh their.. Unfortunate intelligence.

Your date is perfect, as they always are with you. A tall, sunkissed blonde with a strong nose and stronger accent. He’s nothing short of beautiful- So much so you’d offered dropping by your place for some drinks. You wouldn’t mind taking a peek at something a bit more,, personal. He’s gullible enough to agree without further debate. They all are.

You’ve observed him the entire conversation- How his hands are calloused from work in the field, or the way his eyes react dollishly with your every word, not a thought behind those livestock eyes. He looks clean but doesn’t smell it.. He either doesn’t shower enough, or he’s peaked your senses,, You’ve been known for standing to attention with pretty boys.. Your eyes dilate when he speaks. He runs at 62 bpm, his eyes have little specks of gold, and GOD he’s trying to hold your hand! HOLD! HIS! HAND! YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DONT HOLD HIS HAND!

You’re sitting in the same booth, hot coffee sits in front of the both of you- You’re far too distracted to take a drink. You want him, Worse than you’ve ever wanted anything. The bay window’s light bathes him, like an angel.. You’re determined to make him a star. Once you’ve taken his body, of course. He’ll be your pretty muse! Give you motivation for the stage again! Your Rook. It’s torture to not lean into him, you want a bite,, :(

His vacant hand on the table reaches for his mug, and you see it happen like a stone coming at a glass house. It’d be too suspicious to react. You have to let it burn you. With a tink against the table, boiling coffee spills over the edge and onto your empty hand- Mercifully avoiding your date. While he goes to fetch a tissue, (stretching deliciously across the table) the offending wound flashes bright blues and greens in an attempt to colour match.. You really, truly hope you don’t have to explain away anything he might’ve seen. You don’t have the energy for that right now - much less to wipe yourself clean, so you let him do it. You’ve always fancied having a human or two wait on you.

“Ah! Ma puce! A touch off topic, but have you ever followed the lives of celebrities? I’m quite the fanatic, myself.”

Not one to fumble a hunt, you acquiesce. He’s a skilled multi tasker- The best a human can be, at least,,

“I do! I’m a super-fan of a newly retired poster girl for this hyperpop group,, totally gonna’ miss her stuff. Why do you ask?”

“Funny, you really do remind me of her.. In your own way. A fun coincidence, no?”

You consider, briefly, brushing him off- Ditching the project and skipping town,, There’s no point staying if your disguise isn’t perfect. Then again, why are you running in the first place from prey? This is your first human with the intuition to recognize you, even if it’s passing, you need to see how this plays out. You can’t help wondering if you might enjoy being hunted for once, if he’s really so good. The only way of knowing is to jump headfirst!

“So, how’s your schedule next Friday?”

MARS SIGN OBSERVATIONS pt. II

♂ Virgo Mars - It seems as though individuals with this placement are running off some sort of nervous energy. It is best if these types are kept busy. They feel a deep need to be productive and are constantly scrounging for something to do. Relaxing is not something that comes easy to them. Their body is always occupied with some sort of task, they always have something to do. People with a Virgo Mars make for excellent multi-taskers. They can take on multiple projects all at once without forsaking the quality of their work. Systems and routines keep these people in check. They wouldn't be able to carry out all their plans without being diligent and organized.  Within the span of a single day, a Virgo Mars will carry out their work duties, participate in their favorite hobbies, run errands, and then socialize with friends. They can do it all. To others their life may seem rather hectic even if they personally feel like things are running smoothly. 

♂ Leo Mars - This is a great position for mars. People with this placement are truly in charge of their own lives. They run off a lot of passion and vitality, they love life. These types display a sort of strength that never goes unnoticed. They are incredibly ambitious and set big goals for themselves. Confidence and strong convictions will help them carry out their endeavors. They step into the role of a leader without thinking and have no problem dictating the actions of others. More often than not, these types tend to act on their ego. A Leo Mars carries everything out in a manner that is dramatic or grand. They have big hearts. Disloyalty and betrayal anger them the most. They seek admiration through their actions, and if this isn’t given to them, they will freak out. They are also more easily embarrassed in comparison to other placements. Humiliation is something they fear. 

♂ Cancer Mars - The actions of a Cancer Mars are directly tied to their emotional state. The same can be said for the level of energy that they display. They frequently go through highs and lows. They will feel ready to take on the world and then a couple weeks later they’ll feel a need to hide from the world. If they are in a bad mood, nothing is going to get done. However, they are still helpful. They don’t want to let people down and will still lend a hand if needed. Although there are times in which these types choose to be passive, they also have the ability to be direct and authoritative. When faced with injustice or the hurt feelings of others, they will stand up for what they believe is right with conviction. They are protective over people, and they express aggression in a way that is covert and manipulative. 

♂ Gemini Mars - People with this placement are forever outrunning boredom. They stretch themselves thin when it comes to being busy and taking on plans. A Gemini Mars is incredibly restless, these people are always on edge. When irritated, their words are cutting. Their nervousness may be mistaken for anger by others. They use a lot of sarcasm and love to stir up verbal debates. People with this placement might struggle with maintaining focus. They are great at starting projects but lack follow through. They become distracted easily, or even worse, they might become bored. Discovering the newness of life is what makes these types feel passionate. They live on the edge of their seats and their actions are driven by curiosity. A Gemini Mars needs to be doing something interesting everyday to feel satisfied. Quiet routines and the methodical process of everyday life drain people with this placement. 

♂ Taurus Mars - Those with a Taurus mars have a stubborn streak that surprises others. These types are calm and take life slow. For the most part, they live life in peace. They stick to themselves and aren’t ones to get involved in conflict or drama. Their goals are important to them, and they are methodical in their approach to success. People with this placement have an unwavering sense of determination. They don’t define themselves through their setbacks and failures. They understand the value of being still. Once they’ve set their mind on something, there is no turning back for them. Other people might mistake them for passive. However, they have no problem saying no and will put up a fight if their decision is pushed. They might become provoked if people unexpectedly change plans. These types are driven by stability and struggle with being adaptable. 

♂ Aries Mars - Impulsive, reckless, and flashy are just a few words that come to mind when thinking about this placement. People who have an Aries Mars are driven by instinct and tend to lead exciting lives. They’re not afraid to take action and are always ready for what's coming next. They move through life quickly. These types are competitive and like the idea of being the first to do something. They want to be number one, or the best, in whatever it is that they do. They’re quick to make decisions and love to take on a challenge. They lack patience and are angered by passive aggressiveness.  This placement is famous for displaying a quick temper. But, they are also quick to get over conflict and don’t hold grudges.

ARTICULATE KENMA KOZUME

• Genre: smut

• Warnings: best friends, hands kink, squirting, eating you out, fingering, lap dance, face riding, age up/time skip

• For bonus points the realization he likes you vibe is

🎶 SWEATER WEATHER

You make it upstairs to Kenma’s bedroom, unlocking the door in full swing. He only casts you a glance.

This was a normal occurrence. You would barge into his room, go on a rant (unaware if he was listening or not), sleep in his bed, wake up, do his grown out hair, then bother him some more; all while he was on the game. The stream welcomes you, hi’s and hello’s flooding the chat each time he’s live.

His bed was comfy too. Had the really fluffy comforter with matching pillows, always in disarray. There have been many times where you even cleaned his room out of pure boredom, but you don’t mind. You’d rather be bored in his company than alone.

But little do you know, as you go on and on about your day, Kenma listens to the entirety of it even as he’s playing. Mixed calls of your voice and footsteps from the game he’s on confuse him sometimes, he won’t deny, but it’s never enough to tell you to stop talking. People get it mixed up; Kenma is actually a great multi-tasker, he just doesn’t want to. As you kick your legs on his bed and fiddle with his things, when he gets free time from the loading screen he looks at you rather than the countless missed messages he has. He’ll let you know he’s there and does truly enjoy your company.

Every time this will put a smile on your face. Knowing how he won’t judge you, but will sit in contentment and put up with you all day. You make yourself at home by changing into your shorts behind him. He already turned the stream off and his headset was wrapped around his neck. He definitely can see you reflecting through his monitor as well.

It takes everything in him not to turn around—not like you would’ve minded—but you are his best friend. Kuroo hates hearing it, and you always laugh in his face whenever Kenma refuses to answer the question. He quite literally is most comfortable with you, messing that up with these tucked away feelings is something he’ll never be okay with. Past girlfriends had issues with his lack of attention and that’s not how he wants to be with you. Yet, that’s also how these feelings came to be in the first place: your patience with him.

Settling on a bag of chips and a soda he keeps in his mini-fridge, you sit criss-cross on his bed, able to watch him play from afar.

Kenma can feel your eyes burning holes in the back of his head. This isn’t anything new, he is a streamer after all—but for the first time in a while, he gets shy. He feels obligated to play better than how he was before you were looking.

The gameplay was great, you thought, but his hands were mesmerizing. You’ve never thought about it in detail. You weren’t a very fast typer on a keyboard as nobody really taught you and you grew up with controllers, but he does it gracefully with so much ease.

You would say almost like his hands are an extension of him, but they are.

You’ve tried many times where someone would remind you just to practice. Never practicing on your own time, you still got all your documents and essays wrote the same.

“What?” He inquiries. He twists in his gaming chair to meet you.

“Oh nothing, just looking at the pretty lights on your keyboard.” You try to flash a convincing smile, but it wasn’t convincing enough. He curled his eyebrow up incredulously, 100% sure you were lying.

“I turned them off with the stream. It’s distracting.” He corrects.

Fuck. How did you not notice? The lie you subconsciously came up with would have worked in any other situation but this one. Now he awaits your reply as your face figuratively flushes.

“I was looking at how you play.”

“Mhmm.” The lobby pulls back up, giving Kozume all the time in the world. “You want a closer look?”

You go wide-eyed for a second. Him motioning you over was enough for your body to get up, and walk itself towards his setup. You loved his hands though. You’d get him to do little things like pass drinks or pick up something just to see them flex. You weren’t sure if he knew, but it was just a small thing you liked. Nothing major until you started imagining them inside of you.

You situated yourself on his knee. There were no other seats available and you hoped he wouldn’t think too much of it. He took your hands gently in his and placed them correctly on the keyboard. Left on ‘A,’ ‘S,’ ’D,’ and ‘F,’ and right on ‘J,’ ‘K,’ ‘L,’ and the semicolon. He used his own to flatten out yours after he told you how, then let you have the mouse.

The grown out blonde was pulled into a small ponytail. Some of it was left down to cascade over his face, just how he liked. He says it lowers his peripheral vision in public, making it easier to mind his own business. The original black of his hair is now the majority over the bleach yellow.

He was barely holding up. He knows exactly what he’s doing, but any self control he had left when he caught a glimpse of you comfortably on his bed, in your low tank top, staring at him. This was the moment he realized there was a pretty girl in his room, everyday. Then when you casually took a seat on him, he cursed at himself internally.

He started the game and you played. He constantly coached you through it.

“Your sensitivity is really high—I can’t see.”

“Turn it down, I’ll turn it back up next time.”

With his help and his hand over yours on the mouse, you finally got to the end of the game, with some screaming included.

“PLEASE WHAT DO I DO-”

His voice was raised too so you could hear him over yourself, just nowhere near your octave. “Take a left it’s right there.”

“OH GOD WAIT-”

“That’s right-”

You were too excited and almost fell off. His hands quickly wrapped around your waist as you were falling, pulling you back up, except farther with your back to his chest. He held you tightly when he caught you, not dispersing his strength correctly. Now you were sure you wouldn’t fall off.

“Thanks.”

Naturally you got comfortable, moving around and standing up a bit to fix yourself, but Kenma was practically dying behind you. You realize he never let go. You watch him focus downwards as you rub against him, seemingly lost in his own thoughts with his hands slowly moving down to your hips. You sit your hands on the arms of the gaming chair and stare back at him until he looks up at you.

No words are exchanged as you look curiously at each other.

Experimenting, you sink back down slow, twisting your hips, purposefully grinding on him. You observe his face slightly change then revert. Sitting all the way down and innocently wiggling, you ‘correct’ your shorts and pull them up, directing his attention there. You turn back around to his mouth left apart and golden eyes suddenly a dark mustard; still on your waist.

Time seems to have stopped as the blonde imagines you flipped in lewd positions. His eyes find yours once again, but almost instantly they go to your lips.

Fuck it, let’s make those a reality. He thinks.

His hand wraps around to your cheek, pushing your lips onto his. He pulls you even closer. Gently trailing his right hand down to your throat while his left rests caressing your hip, you moan into the kiss.

He is everywhere. Every place on your body seems to be occupied by him, and you wouldn’t want anything else. You didn’t even realize how much you wanted him (until you were sideways with his tongue down your throat), but those nicely manicured hands of his were being put to good use. His holding hand goes up to your chest to push through your bra and straight to your breast. He enhances his movements with bites on your neck.

There have been times where you’ve ranted about bad hook-ups, and all of it is being put into work now. He listened as you went on and on about that one spot right under your ear that was most sensitive, yet nobody seemed to find it even though it was marked with a tiny mole.

He listened as you preferred men who fuck with their hips rather than pure strength—off stream of course.

He listened as your friend went ballistic about you being at his house so often, leaving your scent in his bed.

No wonder he actually sleeps now.

“K-Kozume you’re-”

“Mmm.”

Still with your head thrown backwards over his shoulder, he puts two fingers of his in your mouth.

“Be nice for me and keep that pretty mouth shut.”

You couldn’t do anything but oblige as more fingers drag towards your center, slipping past your panties. He circles your clit, attentive to your body’s reaction through your eyes. He watches you gag on his digits.

It was all new to you, especially with him. You’ve never seen him like this, all riled up, the words he just spoke rolling so easily off the tongue.

He lets you breathe before removing himself and making you stand. He twirls you around like a doll, then pulls you back down by your chin, spreading your legs. Kenma would never admit how many times he’s thought about you straddling him.

Swift and unnoticed he unclips your bra. Rolling your hips seemed to be the best option at the time while your head twisted to suck his tongue. This position doesn’t last long when he gets a hold on your thighs, stands, then takes you over to his bed with your arms around his neck (in place of the long-discarded headset).

Almost dropping you on your back, you giggle. He smiles against your skin at your childishness and leaves small impactful kisses down to your belly button. You’re extremely ticklish, but that only added excitement to the feeling. An intimidating gaze flows through pretty lashes when he slowly pulls down your shorts, underwear following suit.

To be honest, this wasn’t the first time you’ve thought about something like this with Kenma. If anything you wanted your first to be him, the trust and (what you thought was platonic) love would keep the fine relationship between you two going. The occasion has passed though, and you could care less. Not when he was enjoying himself between your legs.

Pushing both thighs to the bed, he gives himself a clear view. Instantly he buries himself in you with his hair in his face. Starting off slow, his tongue spells his name on the bud repeatedly, sucking to punctuate. Anything that slips out of his mouth immediately goes back in wetter than it came out. He forms his tongue in different shapes too: sometimes it’s flat, sometimes it’s elongated; you stopped looking after a while when your head got tired of holding itself up. He closed his eyes as he occasionally slurped through you. Really, he ate you like you were the last thing he’d ever taste. From his point of view, this was almost everything he’s ever wanted anyway. You.

“You taste amazing.”

You whimpered, you had no idea where he got this from. It was short but he said it so casually. Your moans echoed through his room with the faint sound of the lobby music from his PC. Your back rose with each flick of his tongue, and when your hands found his hair, he groaned against you in…frustration? His pony fell out and the scrunchie was gone. The grip on your thighs tightened with the vibration, giving pleasure to the both of you. Kenma was undeniably good with his hands just as you expected.

His tongue explores you so well he has to keep you still. As you thrash and twist to run away (while also somehow attempting to get closer), he pulls you right back down every single time with no problem. On his side it actually wasn’t easy. You put up a hell of a fight.

He continuously sucks you, teasing both lips but keeping the nub occupied—nobody has ever ate you like this from the many who have tried. Once he added two fingers and they reached the one spot yours never could, you knew it was your last try. The thumb on the same hand cleverly rolled over your center while his fingers did work. He took this time to stare up at you and kiss your stomach as well. The legerdemain he had was alluring. Finally, he pulls you downwards for the last time, eagerly getting you to cum on his hand whilst sucking. He actually thought you tasted like cranberries.

“You wanna cum? Go ahead, I won’t stop you.”

Once your eyes were rolling back and you went silent, he knew it was over. Pulling them out quick, he smeared your already drenched clit quickly, stimulating you to the max. The bracelets on his wrist rattled.

“You love my fingers in more ways than one huh?”

Before you knew it you were gushing down his arm. He kept going, testing to see how much you could push out. You quickly looked up in shock with heaves, you never even knew you could squirt; but the clear liquid leaking down his hand was proof enough. You judged that if anyone could get you to, it was him. He only looked amused so the change in expression was refreshing…but what. the. fuck.

“Shit, you get better by the second.” He entertains.

You just squirted for your best friend.

Almost immediately going back down, he continued. He feeds off your pulsing clit, licking and slurping away. You watch as he sucks and stretches out the skin from the suction of his mouth.

“fuck-Ken please!”

And that was when he heard it: his first name. If he wasn’t as hard as he thought he could get, he was now. You only ever called him by his last name, just as he did you and Kuroo—he never thought he’d hear it.

“Say it again.” He came up.

“Kozume.” You whined out.

He made sure he had a good hold on your body before rolling over. With this, his movements never concluded. You naturally followed. With every rock of your hips, he grew more focused on making you cum again. You could never get over it, he was so pretty. Never in panic when doing anything. Your hair was a mess, your muscles were jolting; but what could you do? Stop him?

As you rode his face he looked the most content you’ve ever seen. It would seem like you were overstimulating yourself, and even though the hand you had in his hair brought forth grunts of his own, it was all him. Reaching back with any energy you had left you dipped your hand past his sweats to jerk him off.

It was big. You couldn’t even see it. Based on how it felt in your hand though, it wouldn’t be easy slipping that in your mouth. The second orgasm approached quickly rather than building up this time, making the task of helping him out harder. His hands roamed your spine, until one found your hair and pulled by the root.

“Mmmoh my goddd…” You slurred.

With your back arched, your voice contorted a few pitches higher than usual. Ken seemed to suck harder than before. He never wanted to disconnect from you so wherever your body moved away with desperate rolls of your hips, he just sat up and followed.

When you looked down at him, realization settled in that this was your best friend of six years, almost making you feel guilty. He instantly washed this away when his eyes opened to yours. You peered down at him, mouth agape, your second orgasm rolling over you as he held prolonged eye contact.

“Kozume…”

Magician’s Chessboard 3

Writer: Mitsuki

Character(s): Sakasaki Natsume, Saegusa Ibara, Harukawa Sora

Translated by: jewwyfeesh

Natsume: Hmm… in that case, if fine, who were originally selected, ended up showcasing the ‘B Series’ in the commercial… I wonder what would everyone think…?

Season: Summer

Location: Meeting Room

Ibara: So! These are the activities planned for today’s ‘Ibara Lecture’. Thank you all for your cooperation. Salute!

Natsume: Even for a deputy director, Ibara-kun is way more efficient than the senpai over at our side.

Ibara: Haha, how could I ever compete with the multi-tasker, His Majesty Aoba Tsumugi? It’s also safe to say His Majesty designed the clothes recently promoted by that new brand, yes?

Natsume: Ah, so Ibara-kun already knew. It’s obvious what direction StarPro is taking – after all, it’s hard for a startup to get so much attention during the preparation phase.

Ibara: That’s correct. Even though CosPro recently made plans to contact the brand… the beast is about to go in for the kill[1]. Smart hunters would know what’s good for them and avoid it.

Not to mention, if you look at the original setting, the black swan is like an extremely powerful villain. CosPro is better suited for this kind of image.

Natsume: Since Ibara-kun likens himself to that of a hunter… defeating StarPro to win the ‘W series’ would constitute a victory in your books, right?

Ibara: My my my, let me remind you… the brand has taken quite the liking to fine. While this job isn’t bad, it’s not so important that CosPro would be willing to declare war.

Natsume: Hmm… in that case, if fine, who were originally selected, ended up showcasing the ‘B Series’ in the commercial… I wonder what would everyone think…?

Ibara: Oh? What do you mean?

Natsume: I’m sure nothing in ES can be kept a secret from Ibara-kun, who holds the ‘HallHands’ moderation rights. Well, I have no doubt that you’ll be able to uncover the whole sequence of events soon enough.

To be able to effortlessly construct a scenario where one can ‘defeat StarPro’… opportunities like these are few and far between ♪

Ibara: Those involved know best[2]. You should be aware of that… and the power that His Eminence holds speaks for itself. If there are no profits to be gained, smart people wouldn’t choose to go up against such a behemoth.

Natsume: Haha, Ibara-kun really hit the nail on the head. But surely you don’t intend on grouping those bigshots in with ‘those who’re involved’[2]?

After the development of ES got on the right track, they appeared like sharks at the scent of blood, all too eager to nab a piece of the pie as well.

The idol industry’s cake is only so big. If one side takes too much, it’s only natural that the amount of cake that can be allocated to the other party would become lesser. I suppose some people who have contacted you are also like this?

Ibara: After all, the four agencies were created in the beginning to balance the influence of the various parties… but only the Tenshouin Conglomerate has the power to overthrow this at any point in time. This point alone is rather worrying.

I understand what you’re trying to say, Natsume-kun. Your plan is truly genius! If there is a need for us to collaborate, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Let’s not make the situation any more confusing, hm? Else we wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it ♪

Sora: Shisho~ Sora has practice later on~ If we don’t go soon, we’ll be late~

Natsume: In that case… let’s just leave it here for now. I look forward to working with you ♪

The original term in CN is "势在必得", an idiom which means "determined to win".

The original term in CN is "当局者清", which can be understood as 当局者 (those/the authorities involved) + 清 (to be clear about something). It might be a play on the idiom "当局者迷，旁观者清", which means "the outsiders (旁观者) can see things more clearly (清 clear vs 迷 lost/confused) than those involved (当局者)".

these are their early counterparts

All three FCs above are freelancing rescue vehicles, however let’s break each character down:

• Volt: A member of the Construction Team, she is a rescue robocar who gets flustered/embarrassed pretty easily. She is bad at making longer conversations, unless there’s an emergency, and she tends to stammer. Additionally, she finds herself tangled(usually literally) in a mess and needs to be pulled out. Being part of the Construction Team, she shares similar abilities to Jin: both are engineers and are fast(for Jin, this is new in S5 with her armor), however: Volt primarily deals with mining missions, in other words, underground operations. Additionally, she can dig underground. Furthermore, one can consider Volt as a backup/mobile engineer whenever Jin is not around on the overworld.

She is afraid of the water...because she’s an electric car.

• Bubbles: A member of the Harbor Team, she is a rescue robo-sub. Many citizens of Broomstown tend to get annoyed by her numoerous claims of spotting “legendary creatures,” such as the Broom Lake Monster(yes I made that name up). Even though she has photographic evidence, most of them get easily dismissed as “art.” In all seriousness, Bubbles is a hardcore multi-tasker: as a submarine, she wanted to do the activities the land-based vehicles partake in, therefore she is willing to do the same by helping others in need(even in non-emergencies). However, this leads her to burnout and many of her rescue teammates encourage her to take her time and do each activity one-by-one. Furthermore, they suggest that Bubbles do what‘s truly best for her.

• Wynter: A freelancing member of the Mountain Rescue Team, she is a tough rescue robo-sled who deals with snow-related missions(mostly in the mountains) and is an expert at survival and mountain-climbing. Despite her diminutive size, Wynter’s strength is close to that of Roy’s: this is due to climbing mountains by hand and foot. Though, she may use her pickaxe-sled runner hybrids (which are inspired by the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment from Attack on Titan) to grapple onto ledges in case she slips really badly. She can get too risky sometimes, but it’s mostly for good reasons.

Wynter is a trans demigirl. However, this is not actually based on the transition from her early counterpart.

Count-Down: Number 23

Welcome to Count-Down! All throughout the month of October, I’m counting down my Top 31 favorite portrayals and reimaginings of the King of the Vampires, Count Dracula! Today’s Dracula is truly a multi-tasker: he spends as much time chewing scenery as he does biting necks! Number 23 is…Richard Roxburgh.

I’m fairly certain that “Van Helsing” was my introduction to actor Richard Roxburgh, and I’m equally certain this was one of the earliest “serious” interpretations of Dracula and various other famous monsters from cinema and literature I ever got to see. I use quotation marks with the word “serious” because…well…as anyone who has seen this film will tell you, I think it’s hard to say this is a proper dramatic reimagining and do so with a straight face. “Van Helsing” was the brainchild of Stephen Sommers; Sommers had first made a big break with his action-adventure, B-Movie-With-an-A-Movie-Budget remake of “The Mummy,” which is still considered by many to be, if nothing else, a fun reimagining of the classic titular monster for a new generation. However, after this first blockbuster, Sommers’ projects with monsters tended to fall flat of expectations, as his later Mummy movies never really held a candle to the first…and he did Van Helsing, which seemed to be universally panned by critics and audiences alike at the time, despite having a LOT of hype built up around it, and a lot of money thrown its way. Truth be told, I actually rather like Van Helsing. It’s dumb, but it’s a fun kind of dumb: the film was meant to be a modern-era sendup of the old Monster Mash movies of the 1940s and 50s. In this picture, we have a whole cavalcade of classic creeps appear, most notably Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolfman…and, of course, Count Dracula. And truth be told…that’s exactly what it feels like. Keep in mind, those old Monster Mash movies were over-the-top, ridiculously plotted, had effects that don’t hold up particularly well, and tended to ignore a lot of continuity and canon elements. This movie does all those things, and just like a lot of those older movies, I still find it immeasurably entertaining: for all its flaws, there’s just a sense of ludicrous fun to it. It’s rarely truly scary, and there’s plenty in it one can mock, but for a kid watching it, I thought it was a blast! And as an adult revisiting it? Yes, it’s completely absurd, but it’s got a lot of good things buried inside it, and I still have a soft spot for it…again, just like those old movies. Whether all this was INTENTIONAL or not is up to debate, but the bottom line is that the film, in paying homage to those older pictures, ends up having a similar legacy: it’s hard to call it a good movie, but it’s also hard to say it’s not an entertaining ride, at least for me. A key example of this sense of “updating the old” – both for the better AND the worst, one could argue – is Roxburgh’s performance as Dracula. Roxburgh is an actor known for being something of a ham; this is partially because the projects he does are often rather over-the-top in nature, to be fair, so he’s really just playing to the style, but I guess it doesn’t help the actor’s reputation. All that hammy goodness is on full display as Dracula, who honestly feels, in many ways, like a more modern, “edgier” version of dear old Bela Lugosi. Roxburgh’s thick dialect is certainly similar, as are some of his gestures and facial expressions. But while Lugosi’s melodrama was the commanding, powerful, charismatic sort, Roxburgh gives Dracula a more flamboyant, almost “glam rock” sort of performance. One person at least compared his Dracula to Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth, and…I actually find it hard to disagree. There’s something vaguely reminiscent of David Bowie in the way Roxburgh seems to glide from scene to scene, arms gesticulating theatrically and moving from classically debonair to gnashing his teeth like a wild beast. For all his bombastic insanity, however, Roxburgh’s Dracula is, at times, legitimately effective, and while the CGI in the movie is notoriously “meh,” I do love the DESIGN of his “true form,” an idea with Dracula that didn’t START with Roxburgh, but I think MIGHT have been popularized by him. It’s one of the first versions of Dracula I think of when I think of that particular trope, and his Brides in this film – who are equally over-exuberant in their performance – are actually the first versions I think of when I think of those characters, too, bizarre as that may seem. The same goes for a lot of other things in the picture; again, it’s silly, but much like Roxburgh’s portrayal of the Great Undead, there’s still something of value here. Besides, it’s hard to COMPLETELY hate anything Hugh Jackman is in…at least in my experience. (I’m sure there are some things you can completely hate with him involved, I just don’t intend to see them. I’m looking at you, Movie 43: YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE.) Tomorrow, the countdown continues! Hint: A Forgotten Return for the Great Undead.

The 12 greatest singing drummers ever

By Joe Bosso, August 05, 2011

Driving the band/selling the song multi-taskers

It's one thing to be a good drummer. But to be a great drummer – one who keeps the beat, plays for the song, and who imbues his craft with a unique sense of personality – that's something else altogether.

Now, let's consider singers. Plenty of people can carry a tune. But how many of them can sell you a song with character and unfiltered emotion? Whether it's belting or crooning, capturing a feeling and putting it across to the listener is a mysterious talent that but a few truly possess.

All right, let’s combine the two and arrive at drummers who sing – not just ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs,’ mind you, we’re talking lead vocals. Suddenly, all of those drummer jokes aren’t so funny anymore.

With all of this right side/left side brain stuff in mind, MusicRadar is banging a gong and letting the melismas fly as we salute the 12 greatest singing drummers ever, players who dispel the notion that you have to step up to the mic to make magic. Sitting down is perfectly fine.

Unranked list.

Peter Criss (Kiss)

Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger)

Sheila E

Dave Clark (Dave Clark Five)

Karen Carpenter (Carpenters)

Mickey Dolenz (Monkees)

Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters)

Don Henley (Eagles)

Levon Helm (The Band)

Phil Collins (Genesis)

Ringo Starr (Beatles)

Roger Taylor

In Queen, Roger Taylor pulled off the near-impossible. Not only did the provide the kind of massive beats and thunderous fills sturdy enough to go up against Brian May's ginormous guitar sound, but he proved to be a versatile enough singer to complement the operatic, larger-than-life vocals of Freddie Mercury.

Whether swinging (Crazy Little Thing Called Love), funking out (Another One Bites The Dust) or rocking to the nth degree (take your pick), there hasn't been a drumming style or feel that Taylor hasn't been able to nail. (Until 2008, he played either Ludwig or Sleishman drums kits; now he favors DW.)

As a singer, Taylor handled harmonies and co-leads on numerous Queen gems (his falsetto screams in Bohemian Rhapsody are a particular highlight). But he grabbed center stage - or center drum stool - for solo turns on I'm In Love With My Car, Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll, Fun It, Father To Son and many others.

More than just a great drummer, and more than just a great drummer who could sing well - Roger Taylor was Queen's secret weapon.

They love luxury (whatever they believe that to be) They can be driven but also slow moving at times. Basically think of a lion😂 they'll be laying in the sun all day but when they decide to they really go. Confident on the outside but can be very humble.

Super observant/ detached but also fun loving. They love to laugh💕

Virgo mercury: not flashy, detail oriented. Practical, like to take care of the day to day. They like when others appreciate their intellect. Don't like when things are out of control. Always willing to lend a helping hand💕Need an organized environment to learn. Can be humble but are protective of their methods of doing things. They do tend to feel they do things best so they can take on too much or be impatient with others.

Virgo venus: not very flirtatious, theyll win you over with their attention and devotion. They're reserved, sensitive and insecure, the quietly make their way into your heart💖 They're not going to take chances so they need to know the other person likes them before they do anything about it😂 mood tho. They like to observe the other, are good listeners, they like to learn about their partner. But they can also show they care by nagging them😂 because they're trying to help you improve. They like people who are understated, show off and know it alls turn them off. They love to appreciated

Virgo mars: practical, productive, goal oriented. Scattered like a sagittarius but these people are good multi taskers and actually finish what they start. They can be critical of others. When they get mad they really nag and complain. But they dont like to be a nuisance so it wont last long or be too showy. Again, they can be particular and protective of the way they do things. They need to have things to do like jobs and hobbies or else they really get restless and worry too much.

Ok so Leo's and caps are like really cute together so theres that with Love👀

But also mill🤔

Are You Sure We’re Talking About the Same Person?

Hi, I decided to post my fic here as well since I believe there may be multiple parts coming out. You can also read it here. 

Summary: In which Nino prods Adrien into revealing a little too much, but not quite enough, about his crush. Nino attempts to hype him up, inadvertently causing Adrien to have a realization. Shenanigans ensue.

Next 

"I can't tell you who my crush is, Nino. Even if I wanted to. The fate of Paris, and possibly the world, won't let me."

"Sounding a little dramatic there, dude."

Adrien laid on the floor of Nino's living room, watching the light from the T.V. flicker as Nino played Mega Mash Mofo's . Adrien had lost interest in the game about an hour ago, but Nino was still at it. The clicking sounds from the controler were somewhat soothing to him - he found - so he didn't mind him playing too much. Besides, Nino was a great multi-tasker, and - as much as Adrien would have liked for it to stop at the moment - their conversation continued.

"Ok fine bro," Nino said, his controller still clicking away. "You don't have to say her name if you're too embarrassed. But maybe you could describe her..?" Adrien sighed. Nino was his best friend, and he did feel bad keeping his crush a secret from him. He could at least give him this, embarrassing as it was.

"She's kind... Brave..." Adrien felt a stupid grin forming on his face as he spoke. He couldn't help but to smile like that when thinking of his Lady. "Amazing ..."

"Congrats dude, you just described like, every girl in Paris."

Adrien sat up in objection.

"No, Nino, you don't get it!" he said, grabbing Nino's shoulders and shaking him. Nino chuckled, but his eyes stayed focused on the screen. "She's one of a kind," Adrien insisted.

"Right."

"She lights up the room,"

"Uh-huh."

"She's a superhero!"

"She's a what?" Nino asked, turning to glance at Adrien.

"She's like a superhero, I mean." Adrien blurted, blushing slightly at his slip. Nino rolled his eyes.

"C'mon man," he said, sighing. "You gotta be more specific! What's she like?"

"Well..." Adrien hesitated. Where would he even begin? "She's always committed to getting the job done, y'know?" Nino nodded his head, and Adrien took it as an indication to continue.

"She's passionate... And driven. And she always puts others first. She can be a little too serious sometimes but I think it's just because she cares so much, y'know?" He paused for a moment, before adding, "But I mean, it's not like she doesn't know how to have fun or anything, she just needs a little help sometimes." Nino nodded stoically, as if he were deep in thought.

"What do you like most about her?" He asked.

"Her smile..." Adrien sighed dreamily. Nino snorted.

"That's obvious."

"Ok, fine. Her eyes."

"Her eyes?"

"She has these gorgeous, striking, baby blue eyes. Eyes that look into your soul." Nino laughed, playfully nudging Adrien with his elbow.

"That's so cliche, man." he said. Adrien pouted. He stood up dramatically, and Nino looked up at him in confusion.

"The way her blue eyes shimmer in the sunlight, the way her pigtails bounce when she moves her head even the slightest bit, the way she smiles…" Adrien felt his face turn red. "I like all of it, okay? I like everything, even if it's cliche. I'm in love with her, dude."

Nino paused his game.

"Bro..." he said, his eyes blinking wide.

"What?"

"Don't freak out, but I know who you're talking about."

Adrien paled. Had he really given it away?

"You do?" he asked, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.

"I had a crush on her too, before I met Alya."

Adrien felt his mouth gape. Nino had a crush on Ladybug? Well, it wasn't that surprising. She was kind of a celebrity, after all.

"You did?" he asked anyways.

"It's alright, man," Nino said. He patted the floor next to him, motioning for Adrien to sit. Adrien obliged. "Your secret's safe with me," Nino assured him. "I won't even say her name."

Adrien didn't really doubt Nino's ability to keep a secret. Nino was a good friend, and he would stick to his word. Still, Adrien was hesitant.

"Are you sure we're thinking of the same person?" he asked.

"Baby blue eyes and pigtails? Passionate? Driven? Like a superhero? C'mon, man!"

Adrien grimaced.

"Yeah... I guess that could give it away..."

"Look dude," Nino reached out, putting his hands on Adrien's shoulders. "I'm gonna be real with you. You gotta tell her." Adrien cringed. He had told her, multiple times. She always rejected his advances. Nino seemed to notice Adrien's defeat, and squeezed his shoulders. "Hey," he said, trying to regain his focus. "I have it on pretty good authority that she likes you back."

"Pretty good authority?"

"Bro, it's obvious!" Nino said, breaking away from Adrien and gesturing wildly. "The way she acts around you? Even just her face is a dead giveaway! Have you seen the way she blushes?"

Adrien thought for a moment. Did she act strange around him? He wouldn't be able to tell, even if she did. He wasn't great at reading people, especially not girls. Nino had a girlfriend, though, so maybe he was better at it. But did she really blush around him? The mask obscured her facial expressions at times.

"Not really…" Adrien admitted sheepishly. "But maybe I haven't been looking?" Nino's lips drew into a line.

"You gotta tell her." Nino insisted, though, with a flatness to his voice.

"I've tried!"

Nino's eyes widened with surprise, and subsequently narrowed.

"What does 'try' mean to you?" He asked.

"Well…" Adrien had tried. Many times. Ladybug always shrugged him off. He never really understood what he was doing wrong. He tried with all the Chat in him to be charming and romantic - but it never got through to her. Sometimes, it felt like she took his feelings to be one big joke. "I've flirted, I guess." He said, finally.

"Nah man, girls are dumb." Nino said flatly. "You can't just flirt, you've gotta say it. If you just flirt, she'll overthink it and wonder if you actually like her or if you're just being friendly. You've gotta be direct and sincere."

"Direct and sincere?" Adrien asked. He thought he was being direct and sincere.

"Like…" Nino seemed as if he were struggling to find the words. Adrien couldn't help but to feel like he was a child in this situation, asking the most obvious yet unexplainable questions to an unsuspecting parent.

"Ok, so," Nino finally said. "Don't play it up. Don't crack jokes. Make sure she knows you're being serious, and then tell her how you truly and honestly feel."

Adrien winced. Was he really playing it up? He wasn't meaning to. If he was being honest, he had never really interacted with a girl that he liked before Ladybug. He didn't really know what he was doing.

"You can't be afraid of your feelings, bro!" Nino continued, grasping Adrien's shoulder. "Don't mask them with all the flirtatious stuff. You go up to that girl and you honestly declare your love to her!"

Adrien smiled at his friend's encouragement.

"You can do it, Adrien Agreste!" Nino said, slapping Adrien's back.

“Thank you, Nin-” A thought occurred to Adrien, interrupting his sentence, and his face suddenly fell. "Wait, what did you just say?" he asked.

"Huh? I said-"

"Adrien."

"Uh, yeah." Nino replied, warily. "That's you, dude."

"She likes... Adrien Agreste."

"That's what I said."

Adrien swayed.

"You ok, buddy?" Nino asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

In a sudden burst of energy, Adrien sprinted across the room to the window. He thrusted it open with a heave.

"I'm-sorry-my-father-just-texted-me-and-he-says-I-need-to-leave-like-right-now-for-a-shoot-gotta-go-bye!"

With that, Adrien jumped out the window.

"Bro!" Nino yelled after him. "This was supposed to be a sleepover! It's like 3 AM! Where are you even going?"

Nino gaped as he watched as Adrien dash down the street at mach speed. Adrien didn't respond to his questions. He had to find his Lady. She was probably still out patrolling.
