Some King Dice headcanons ~

Hey, so I'm back at my Cuphead phase and I re-fell in love with the Dice Man, ehehehehehe ~ After watching Casino Cups again I had some headcanons (sfw) I'd like to share, let's gooo ! This include the game, the show and Casino Cups (I see it as the official prequel of the game ehehe)

💜🎲✨️ KING DICE ✨️🎲💜

King Dice is just a pseudonym, no one knows his real name, except the Devil. But even him prefers to call him King Dice.

He is in his late thirty, at least in the game. He is a little bit younger of one or two years in the Show, and in his mid-forty in Casino Cups

He is a bisexual icon, definitely seduces both men and women, as the charming manager he is (also obviously a heart-breaker)

He is a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon and Leo Rising ~

He is terrified of getting old, and uses makeup in order to look younger. His appearance is one of his top priority.

Speaking of that, he is a morning person because he has a long beauty routine and like to take his time. This include shower, polishing his dice-head to make it shine, numerous concealers and skin-care products, a combo of eye-shadow and eye-liner, transparent gloss, sometimes blush and of course perfume, you name it.

Is also slightly muscular under his clothes, like to stay in shape <3

He never swears, he's to polite for that (except when he's very very angry)

PURPLE. Just Purple.

Everything he buy has to be purple (or gold)

Scatting is like his second language, the man express himself a lot with it. He scats out of pride, joy, stress, when he wants to calm himself down, etc.

By the way, he is a walking musical, the man is ALWAYS humming something. He even created his own band to occasionally play at the casino, after the Devil re-hired him.

He speaks multiple languages, including english of course, but also french, italian, spanish and german.

Definitely a cat and tea person (somewhat confirmed by DD)

He never had a particularly sad childhood and doesn't have trauma neither. On the contrary, he was the only child of a famous and very rich couple who built their empire on Inkwell Isle. His mother was a former actress and his father the head of a mafia organization. He grew up with everything he wanted, but his parents never paid that much attention to him. Not that they didn't love him, but they were such infatuated with each other that Dice never had a real place between them, he was secondary.

One day, another gang with whom Dice's father had a rivalty kidnapped his wife in exchange of his money. Deeply in love, he accepted, and they both ended up killed, King Dice was 15. Dice despise love and see it as a weakness because of this.

King Dice always had a mischevous side in him. Because of his parents negligence, he developped insecurities of failure and being forgotten, so his greatest wish was to surpass his parents's reputation and glory, whatever if he was feared or adored.

This is also why he is soooooo devoted to the Devil and needs his validation as his number one in the Cuphead Show, imagine being the literal Devil's Right Hand Man, who can surpass him then ?

King Dice gave birth to his pack of cards with his magic. He has them since he's a child, and considers them as his confidents and family, he's like a Lion with his tribe with them.

I like to imagine that King Dice and the Devil, since the Game's events, have a similar relationship to Snape and Dumbledore. Like, they aren't close emotionaly speaking (this is more Henchman's role), but they respect each other. King Dice is deeply loyal to the Devil and is his most trusted ally, his number one to whom he reveals every of his schemes. The Devil just has to make a hand movement and King Dice is like "Your wish is my command, boss". They act like a dark prince and his butler.

So, he has a fear of failure, uselessness and being forgotten, and see everything as a competition he has to win. This is why he killed all the Devil's finest demons in "Release the Demons", he needs constant praise and special treatment from the Devil to make up his insecurities. Because of his immaturity, the Devil was mainly annoyed by him in the Cuphead Show. That's when he gave him a second chance and created the casino that King Dice grew more close to his crueler and calculative personality from the game, and the Devil trusted him in making him his casino's manager

In a way, the Devil allowed King Dice's darkness to take over him by removing every of his human aspects : he became less emotive and goofy, not insecure anymore, etc...

Despite being close intellectually and professionally speaking, the Devil and King Dice are less about emotional discussion, unlike Henchman who acts like the Devil's confident. If the Devil ever cry in front of King Dice, he would probably be uneasy and try to be comforting but would fail miserabily : "Uuuuh... come on, man, get over it, it doesn't matter that much... ?"

Despite that, I think that when they grew closer between the Show and the Game, they started to have a sort of sexual tension and both are in denial of that. They do have some moments of intimacy when both end up blushing at each other, like when King Dice gets closer to lights up the Devil's cigar, or when they share a quick glance after a angry customer coming at them, knowing what has to be done next ~~

A bit like the Devil with Henchman, King Dice is grateful to people that are loyal to him since a long time and genuily care for him, like his little cards. King Dice is very egocentric, but that doesn't mean he is incapable of being attached. He is very protective actually.

That is a surprise to anyone, but maaan the Dice man has a beautiful voice, but he doesn't only sing jazz, or swing or showing off his lovely voice. Sometimes, when he's alone, or with his cards, he sings more emotional and soft tunes, like a lullaby.

That's it for now guys ! I hope you enjoyed it and if you want more <33

Thoughts on AotD

I like that "it's about fear" very much announces the theme of Nathan's own fears of failing and self doubt, which stem from his constant perfectionism we've seen since s1. This is really emphasises in Nathan telling everyone he doesn't know how to write the Song of Salvation and subsequently crossing 'band' off - he is filled with self doubt and fear and is unable to find safety with that. This hits especially hard when you get that "is this the wrong song?" moment that hits so sudden and so hard. I think the "come back" line also really feels full of that fear - his fear is reinforced by loneliness and abandonment and grief and it's so, so powerful when he really becomes vulnerable in that moment.

The entire funeral scene is almost unbearable it felt like way too many things to deal with all at once made 100% more painful because they were ruining the funeral. I wish the bit with Nathan had happened back at their home because I had to keep stopping it just to cope with how much second hand cringe I was getting seeing that all happen in front of all those people at the funeral.

Skwisgaar using his own name/3rd person in speech feels new?

Charles' character seems to have changed quite a bit but I'm obsessed with literally all of his scenes because they pack so much punch. From his speech at the start to his return with the fans, his cool as fuck fight, his final smile - i literally cherish them. "Those are my spiritual savours you're fucking with" knocked the breath out of me.

The character arcs are so good! Nathan's "Life might actually be precious" at the start to realising how to write the Song of Salvation at the end. Murderface putting himself out there to help Charles after being convinced he had no value at the beginning. General Crozier's entire redemption arc.

Also character relationships really do so much here. Toki and Skwisgaar's dynamic becomes far more caring and close with Toki literally looking after Skwisgaar despite still bickering. The whole band getting emotionaly upfront with Murderface about needing him and that beautiful "but you always feel it" line is so so good. Pickles knowing Nathan's order perfectly, their "see you on stage" moment, hugging Toki, being so parental, honestly doing the Most for them all. Nathan's relationship with his parents being still loving and full of supportive words. Toki getting Deaddybear back and Nathan saying "you're one hell of a motherfucker" to Edgar in that fond voice. Murderface honouring Knubbler before the song. Nathan calling the band his family. Hell, even Nathan going from despising the fans to opening his hand to them and eventually thanking them, it's so good. And, yeah, his "relationship to music" bit with the visual metaphor penis, i thought that was good too!

Character confrontations are also really good! I LOVE the bit where Skwisgaar confronts Murderface in that really intense voice- probably my fav bit of voice acting in the whole film. Also Pickles cofnronting Nathan and making him realise why he'd failed his task (with that hilarious "this is weird" commentary from Murderface).

The animation is GORGEOUS - especially in scenes focused on Murderface. There are some very heavily anime-influenced moments which are sometimes beautiful and sometimes a little jarring. Nathan also somehow suffers from some off-model moments a few times.

The artwork is also gorgeous! Backgrounds, stained glass, graphic design, so much beautiful work! Similarly to the animation, there is some very anime-esque scenery I found jarring compared to what MTL usually looks like.

The humour is really great! Knubbler falling down those stairs had me wheezing and the gong breaking is funny both times. Murderface's "like us" funniest joke in the whole movie. "That was upsetting!" made me cackle. Nathan's conversation with Salacia was also very funny but I felt that was at the price of a less dramatic character confrontation.

The amount of 'men in female roles' is so good. Mother Pickles and Sister Toki are doing so much gender for me especially because of how much Pickles just COMMITS to that. "bring mommy his scotch" "you're the absolute best mother" both excellent for my heart. Also "you are the beast daughters of the apocalypse" offers so much gender feeling.

Nathans weird awkward moment during the "your role" bit is very endearing somehow and feels very similar to his sense of humour when he learned he could make a silly voice in the shower

There's some great one-off lines. "Sunshines rainbows marshmallows man" my beloved. "Good rock talk" love that. Nathan's entire realisation sequence at the end calling fans the army of the doomstar and that they're the great reuniting is just very fun final moment stuff. "It's about what we do when we fail" LOVE that as a line esp as they do in fact fail to prevent the metalocalypse and they have to pick up and regroup and try again.

Big whale god my beloved.

I really like how Nathan's voice becomes very breathy and weak compared to his usual growl. For a character who consistently has such presence and power it's such a choice to have his iconic voice be the signifier of his internal weakness. This feels especially interesting when we really see Nathan's raw physical strength when he rips himself from that metal wheel.

Seeing the retreat being destroyed scene by scene was actually very sad!!!! As well as all those Klokateers, especially after Doomstar Requiem

The character deaths hit harder this time around! Knubbler calmly sacrificing himself while Nathan desperately slammed against the barrier not wanting to see another person sacrifice themself for him, that hit hard! Edgar's sacrifice with that "my brother, my love, i'll be with you" was so heartwrenching especially after the "do it all for my brother" in Doomstar Requiem. Even Senator Stampingston has such a visually grotesque, dramatic death I enjoyed that too.

The drowning/near death moment was SO strong, however the jarring animation was particularly notable then and the "or all will die" line seemed ? weirdly unfitting given all dying anyway seemed to be the plan. I LOVE that eerily quiet way they handled nathan doing cpr for so long though

"gear in the wheel of the klok" "go into the water" those song references rock so much i love that.

probably a bad take but I sorta wish the resulting Song of Salvation had been....more??? i guess after the musical diversity of Doomstar Requiem i was expecting something completely next level. it's a good song dont get me wrong and i LOVE the lyrics! i guess i just expected some sort of 10 minute genre-mixing thing to really shake up stuff

I love the final scene I think it really tied off the series in a very strong way

Remember when this was a comedy etc etc

Day 23: Nameless children

[the-foxhole-clutter]

I know nothing about ice skating, this is inspired by this post- https://linecrosser.tumblr.com/post/190820167616/figure-skating-au-with-kevin-and-aaron-for

This is almost definitely not how skating works but here's what I think the Foxes dance styles would be like. Someone who knows more about it than I do please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

Neil- does really fast dances, very intricate moves, details, likes learning new tricks, fastest skater obviously

Andrew--lots of slow breathtakingly beautiful dances, but sometimes more up beat, casual stuff, manages to make it look easy. Thinks Kevin's dances are pretentious but has to admit he's good

Arron-- slow contempery, but with a bit of ballet kinda thing in there

Nicky-pop, hip hop, the cheesiest songs, his dances are mainly feel good, but also does some emotionaly packed ones sometimes.

Kevin-graceful, classical basically ballet on ice, when he gets more comfortable being with the Foxes and having a control over his life he does some contemporary stuff, but still mainly sticks to classics.

Dan- up beat, dances like it's her freedom, which it was before she joined the Foxes

Matt-did one to jazz once just because he felt like it

Seth-this is hard because I can't imagine him dancing really? Hip hop or r and b? Can u even do that on ice?

Allison-dances to Beyonce, goes overboard on the costume, her dances a feirce and bold, after all its a fuck you to her parents that she even skates very showy

Renne-simplistic but full of technicaly really hard moves, can also hip hop really well which surprises everyone

Jean-elegant and graceful, similar to Kevin, somehow manages to make his tall lanky frame look graceful. Classical until he learns with the trojans and learns new dance styles the ravens didn't consider proper dance

Jeremy-anything really but he of course enjoys really happy ones. Does more serious ones when Jean joins because he's sad that Jean seams constantly sad

People do figure skating in pairs right? So I guess they sometimes pair up... Matt and Dan obviously, their styles slightly overlap anyway so they work really well together, solid partnership right there.

Maybe Renee and Andrew do some dances together before people find out about Neil and Andrew, their dances are probably amazing, very technical (I say this like I know what I'm talking about--I do not)

That brings me onto Andrew and Neil, if you thought matt and Dan would be a great power couple on ice just wait for these two, they're amazing together, they probably create some controversy 'cause danse is like that, but they can still do lifts and everything because they're both small and Andrews strong

Jean and Jeremy would be a great pair. They can do beautifull feel good dances which help Jean learn to smile again and really moving dances too

I just had a thought.... Figure skating dance battles between the Foxes and the ravens!! Is that possible? I don't know. Also sorry to any actual figure skaters because I think I've just completely butchered ur sport here.

ONESHOT

Genre: angst, hurt, comfort, fluff

Pairing: Tom Hiddleston / Reader 

Summary: Your day got from bad to worse. Emotionaly drained you can´t keep it together any longer when you finally get home. How will the day end that has you crying in the shower?! 

This was a particular shitty day. Nothing went as planned. You got yelled at at work. Not that you had done something wrong. No, your co-worker just was pissed and needed an outlet. It just happened that you had been on the receiving end because you were close enough as he had had enough.  He even didn´t have the guts to say that he was sorry afterwards. On your way home the tube you would normally take was too packed to get in. Waiting for the next one was not that bad, but once in the train you were stuck for an hour because of issues on the track.

As you finally came home you had 4 missed calls. 3 from your mother who sounded irritated why you would not pick up when you should be home already. Calling her back she angrily picked up the receiver. “Now I don´t want to talk anymore. Why don´t you pick up and talk to your mother when I try to call you on the landline?”

“Because I just came home!”  seemed to be the wrong thing to say.

“Call me when you are not that snippy!” was all she said before she hung up.

 Your eyes were already burning. You were on the verge of breaking out in tears after this day, and particularly after those weeks without your boyfriend. Normally you were fine and not that emotionally instable but today it seemed to be the day were all those piled up emotions wanted to break out of you. Tom wouldn´t be home for another 2 days. Better you would get it out of your system now and be alright again when he finally came home after filming overseas for the last 6 weeks.

You walked into the bathroom and undressed as the water in the shower heated up. How it happened you did not now afterwards, probably your shirt hit it off the shelve, but as you heard the perfume bottle crash to the ground you lost it. It was Toms favourite and he had gifted it to you on your first-year anniversary…there wasn´t even much left in it anymore, but that it lay broken on the floor was the last drop to let your emotional barrel overflow. You started to cry and were angry with yourself that you were crying over something stupid like a broken bottle in the first place.

You went into the shower and sat on the ground, letting the water hit you as you cried and curled your arms around your legs. Stupid day. Stupid people. Stupid you. Stupid stupid stupid!

 Outside a cab came to a stop and a smiling Tom emerged. He had made it home early and he was so happy to have you back in his arms again. He keyed open the door and saw that you were home. But downstairs was nobody to be seen. Slowly he walked upstairs and heard the shower. Only taking off his jacket and shoes he knocked at the bathroom door. “Darling?” he said softly but the smile on his face was wiped away as he saw you curled up on the floor and the broken perfume bottle on the ground.

 Not even thinking about it he came into the shower and kneeled before you, as both of you looked at each other “Love? What happened, why are you crying?” He engulfed you in his arms and got drenched in seconds. Seeing him made you cry even more! You clang to him like you were drowning and he just held you tight in his arms. “Darling, talk to me…I´m worried, did something happen?”

You looked up into his beautiful eyes and hickuped a breath between a sob. “You are getting wet!”

Tom kissed you softly “That does not matter…what´s wrong Darling, tell me so that I can try to fix it!”

Somehow you told Tom about the day you had. In between he had shifted that you sat curled up in his lap.

 “I don´t even know why I am crying at all. I just lost it..” You ended and laughed out a little embarrassed. Tom chuckled softly and kissed your forehead. “You are allowed to feel overwhelmed now and then. You are the strongest person I know. You kept your job throughout our first turbulent months, you endure my being away like it is common in relationships. You are graceful when we go out together and even smile when we get interrupted on date night.” He kissed you deeply again, the water still pouring down on the both of you. “But please, don´t scare me again like that…” He smiled a little.

 “I am sorry I ruined your coming home..” You said quietly. “Oh love, you did not ruin it… I ended up in the shower with you after being home 2 minutes!”

He tried to joke and even got a laugh out of you.

“But you are still fully dressed!” you protested.

“We can change that very fast!” Tom grinned and began to lift his shirt.

 Half an hour later Tom carried you into bed wrapped in a fluffy towel. He curled up under the blankets with you and kept you close.

“Welcome home Tom!” You said softly and kissed his neck.

“Feeling better now?” He asked and kissed your forehead in return. You just nodded in silence and sighed as you almost glued yourself to him. Tom chuckled a little and took a deep breath himself.

“I love you darling! I couldn´t wait to get home to you again!”

“Love you too! I am so happy you made it home safe and a little early!!”

 Oh my, you choked up again. Your eyes started to burn and your throat closed itself up another time.

Tom felt you tense and stroked your back a little.

“Darling, something else on your mind you need to get out?”

You sat up and rubbed your face. “No, I am just really happy you are back!”

Tom lifted himself up and leaned against the headboard of the bed.

“I think I am just having a very bad form of PMS this….month…”

Tom tilted his head as he heard your voice crack and the sentence not being spoken in one go.

 “oh…” you said and held up your fingers counting silently.

“Darling?” Tom sat up straight. You just looked at him and he knew without words what you were telling him. He scrambled out of the bed and pointed at you. “Don´t move! I am back in 5 minutes!” As he was talking, he jumped into his workout outfit and grinned a little lopsided but very charming.

“Don´t move!” He was almost out of the door before he came back and kissed you hard and deeply…then he was gone.

 You fell back into the sheets and tried to count the days, or better weeks.. how could you have missed that you were almost 2 weeks overdue…

There was no other explanation then stress…you had worked, slept, worked, repeat.

Tom and you hadn´t been trying for a child, but the both of you had talked about it and were very clear about it, that you both wanted one in the future And Tom knew as well as you that you were it for each other. The look on his face as he had known what you weren’t saying some minutes ago was so excited, so joyful. You were still thinking about it as you heard the front door close. He really had been fast. Out of breath but grinning from ear to ear. He held up a little package and his eyes were a little shiny.

 You had to almost throw him out of the bathroom so that you could pee on the little stick without him watching. As soon as you opened the door again, he had you in his arms.

“I don´t want to get my hopes up to early, but I can´t help it.. I am so excited!”

He said softly into your hair.

3 minutes were a hell of a lot longer when you were waiting for something. Tom fiddled with the robe you had put on and checked his watch almost every 10 seconds.

“How accurate are those anyway?” He asked shortly before it was time to look.

“Pretty accurate if you trust the writing on the package!” You said and were equally nervous.

 Tom couldn´t wait any longer and picked up the little stick. He turned it and looked at it. Looked at it again and held it out for you to pin your gaze on it.

Your head shot up and the both of you grinned at each other but lost tears at the same instant.

Tom crashed you against him and gulped. “We are… I made you.. you are.. we will be…” He was lost for words and it was the most adorable thing. He, who could recite Shakespeare in his sleep was lost for words.

 You smiled at him and nodded, sure, you needed to see a doctor to be 100% sure but somehow you felt it…you knew the stick was accurate. Tom kissed you and lifted you into his arms.

“I am so glad I came home early…I am so glad we found out together!!!”

He carried you into bed again and looked deeply into your eyes.

“This baby will carry my last name… as you will too!”

You laughed a little breathless. “Are you proposing Mr. Hiddleston?”

Tom grinned and stole a kiss. “No, not yet, just giving you a heads-up Mrs (Y/L/N)!”

Let Us Go (Mino x Reader)

Requested by anon. I’ll talk about some changes about the requests in a bit. Enjoy!

Being with Minho was very complicated. You loved that man and he loved you, but sometimes love is not enough, there was a lot of toxic in the relationship, having to secretly date but dealing with each other every day like you were strangers, seeing him with other women in m/v's and you had to dress them up in their very revealing clothes or straight up underwear, touching up on your man, it drove you to the stage of insanity.

He had to ignore you, he had to act like your relationship did not go past professional, but he also had to stand the idea of dressing up other idols. Epsecially the legendary G dragon, who had stated that you were his favorite stylist, just the idea of you seeing other men in just underwear was enough to get his blood boiling.

That caused fights, yelling and throwing things, slamming doors, saying things you would never say, tear stained cheeks and soft sobs that could be heard even with the door locked. It was not healthy, not for you nor him. Someone had to stop this, he was not strong enough and you knew it, he was too emotionaly attached to you, every time you had a fight he would sneakily come to the room and cling on to your body, wrapping his arms and legs around you, afraid that you will leave him

--------------

"What is all this?"

He asked when he walked in on you packing the stuff you had left in his house and leaving the stuff he had left at yours. Hurt and confusion written all over his face. Your body and mind was numb, you didn't feel anything, it was the stage that Minho feared, he knew that if he stopped getting a reaction from you, there was no way of changing it.

"I love you and you love me, but this is real life. I hope we can be professional at YG"

You tired to walk away but she stopped you, wrapping his arms around your waist, making the air leave your body. A tight grip like the ones at night, his nightmare came to life. You are leaving.

"Please (y/n) i'm not a beggar, but i'll beg for you"

"Let me go Minho, let us go"

-----------------

You were used to this. You were back to acting like strangers, but now you were hiding misery instead of love and jealousy, the professional relationship became strictly cold and on arms length. You could not leave your job, he certainly couldn't leave either.

The pain became stronger when he saw you moving on. Jiyong found you single, he finally had the chance to flirt with you, it was like a stake went through his heart when he saw you walking with him through the halls and whispering about how the restuarant you went was great. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at you guys backs, feeling his mind burning and his heart aching.

"Are you okay?"

His friend Bobby asked him. Bobby knew about you two, he could understand why you walked out of that relationship, but he could also acknowledge how much pain that caused. He had good relationships with him, but whenever he tried to bring it up to you, you would raise a thick brick wall and shut it out.

"Do you want an answer?"

He sarcastically answered. A bitter smile played on his lips, the lips that missed yours so much, or just a simple touch from your soft fingertips.

"Come on, the others are waiting for us"

-----------

He couldn't sleep at night. The bed felt too cold, he missed how you would lay on your back, waiting for your face cream to dry, how your hair would tickle his face at night, how you had a problem breathing so you would sleep with your mouth slightly open, how you would put a ton of blankets just so you can sleep with a shirt and underwear cause you hated pijama pants.

Then he wondered. Was Jiyong getting to know those habits? Did he started to figure out your night routine, maybe now you slept with your hair down, maybe now you would wait for your cream to dry before you laid in bed with him. Sleepless nights became his new habit now.

----------------

One day he cracked. He couldn't stand your bright smile, You had to dress up his group and you were a tad bit too happy.

"Give me a minute"

He said and left the room, banging on the door. The guys didn't know about you, it was your choice, so they thought it was just nerves from Taehyun leaving.

"(y/n) go talk to him, he always seem to listen to you"

Jinwoo said. Honestly you were curious about his blow up too, so you just nodded and walked out. He was just sitting at the end of the hall, his eyes closed and breathing through his mouth. You debated on if you should approach him or not. You took a step but stopped "Did he want to see you?" You thought.

"You can come, I want hurt you anymore"

He said. He heard the door opening and closing, he heard your hesitant heel clicking on the well polished floor. He felt a bit happy that you came out to see if he was okay, it meant that you cared.

"Are you alright?"

"Do you want me to be honest?"

"Yes"

"Then no i'm not. I haven't been fine since you left"

"We were both unhappy before I left"

You defended yourself. He had held back his anger all this time, playing his character and keeping his composure like a well oiled machine. But hearing you saying that... it broke him.

"Who told you I wasn't happy? You did that on your own"

"It was more of a fight club than a loving relationship"

"Bullshit!"

His voices was loud and booming, going throught the empty halls. You tried to keep your cool, if you both started yelling you would cause trouble, it could also cost you your Job.

"You just wanted the place clear for Jiyong"

That was it. You hand acted for you and slapped him hard, he looked back at you surprised. Instead of a poker face there was now an angry face, with tears filling up the eyes that he was never getting bored at staring.

"I loved you more than I loved myself. I stood by your side when no one was there, ME! the girl you are accusing did that. How dare you say that to me? You think you are the only one hurting? That only proves how selfish you are"

You were whisper yelling. You tried so hard to keep the tears in your eyes, but once you let all this out, one managed to slip out. You wiped it off as you turned your face on the other side, sniffing your nose.

"I miss you little wolf “

Your nickname. That silly nickname he gave you when you went to the zoo and he had to drag you away from the cage of wolfs. You were so fascinated by them, it was like you were in the pack. After that you got a tattoo of a wolf on your right thigh.

"I miss you too"

"Then why do you insist that we were not meant to be? I know you turned Jiyong down, you tried but you couldn't. That's what you said to him right?"

You nodded. Looking at the ground, you felt to arms pulling you, the second after your face met his shirt, as his palm and long fingers went to your hair.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

Have you ever had a long travel and you get that warm and comfortable feeling as soon as you step on your house? It's the same feeling you felt when you relaxed in his hug. You let a long breath, kind of like that breath you leave after you unbutton your jeans, that relief of free space.

"Will you come back home?"

"Baby steps, let's just take baby steps for now"

"What the queen wants, the queen gets"

Searching For The Honest Truth Behind The Image Of The Shroud Of Turin.

When a married couple invites a bouncing infant right into their midst, strong-And-strenght.info they go from a few to a loved ones' which modifications traits around our home quite a bit. Foster's episode Arkangel warns of the possible results from technology in a dystopian planet where a parent can easily manage just what their kid is actually subjected to using a silicon chip. In this specific case, there is actually nearly a direct parallel along with Latin United States countries where there are actually multiple shades from different colors, along with of course dark getting on all-time low. Once more, the child might certainly not transform, yet the parent has actually grown the seed as well as fulfilled their commitment. Single moms and dads are actually ending up being much more the standard in our society or even though lots of folks only actually deal with the solitary mommies, thinking of the single moms and dad daddy is additionally essential.

This delivers much increase in purchases to the parent provider as well as a lot boost in profit to the individual distributor, since the individual supplier obtains a percent commission certainly not only on his purchases initiative however likewise on the effort from his direct and secondary down lines. When it comes to relationships ... I don't believe today's dark lady is warranted in burning. These kids are actually encouraged through one moms and dad, the favored parent or distancing parent, to unjustly turn down the various other parent, the targeted parent. While some freshmen might fulfill this requirement, several students will definitely be too outdated to certify. The style is additionally emerging in continental Europe, along with Spanish outlet store El Corte Ingles using the term Dark Friday", in English, to promote price decreases and promos showing up in France and Denmark. You will certainly be actually a far better moms and dad when you overcome the emotional states of the procedure compared to if you neglect or pack those sensations. After a separation there is actually a better opportunity from one parent determining to have little or no exchange their kids if you want to begin a brand-new life. Our team experienced positive prior-period reserve growth in the one-fourth around all of our primary products, initially derivable to initial one-fourth 2015 days of solution. A dog that inherits 2 duplicates of the gene (one from each moms and dad) will definitely be mild golden tan or even cream-colored, and the usual corrosion markings that define the Doberman is going to be actually white colored. An early triumph for the Bristol Old Vic happened when the 1954 première production from Tossed salad Days transferred to the West End and also came to be the longest-running musical on the Greater london phase at that time. The moms and dad business simply manages TWENTY primary sites all over the world; therefore, its franchising concept is extremely well-balanced and to life in the corporate amount. Because the brand-new firm is no a lot longer straight connected along with the moms and dad, this alpha may be actually removed. I additionally really feel very mistreated emotionaly by a parent that never ever values as well as always critizes me for just about anything that fails in her life. This actually is like slavery-having a moms and dad( s) that strongly believes to their bottom that they OWN you. The regulation may not restrict an individual coming from consuming or possessing an alcoholic drinks refreshment while engaged in a religious event or even with the permission from and also in the presence from an adult moms and dad or even guardian. On the other hand, the spun-off company can easily discover its own growth course, while entrepreneurs may a lot more quickly observe the value motorists in both the moms and dad business and now the spun-off company. Sometimes, the youngster's anxiety from visitation is actually certainly not a great deal his feelings in the direction of the other moms and dad as his anxiety that the parent that normally lives with him/ her will definitely be alone.

5k Survey LVIII

2951. You are alone. You take a bus to the mall. The stop is right in the mall parking lot. You window-shop. You don't buy anything. You want to get back on the bus to go home when you realize you have lost all your money. You have no cell phone. All the payphones are jammed with gum. You can not get it out. How do you get the $1.50 you need to get on the bus and get home??? >> I’m sorry, but it’s 2020. I will definitely have a phone. Let’s say my phone was out of charge or something (which is also kind of implausible, I don’t leave home without either my phone being adequately charged or my power pack in my bag, but... hey)... in which case I’d just ask someone for a dollar-fifty. I mean, it’s not like I’ve never panhandled before, it’s not the worst thing in the world. (Also, can I just say... even if the pay phones weren’t jammed, if I was out of money I couldn’t use them anyway, lol. So... yeah...) 2952. How long would it take you to organize your bedroom? >> Not long. I don’t have a lot of stuff. Mostly my problem with organisation is that I get really into it and I want to have a particular dedicated place for literally everything, which is kind of unfeasible in reality. Well, my reality, anyway. 2953. Make up a nickname for your bedroom: >> I’d rather not. 2954.

Have you told your parents you love them today? >> Of course fucking not. 2961. What is the difference between a number two pencil and any other kind of pencil? >> I knew this once, but I’ve forgotten. No matter, a simple google search would remind me, but I’m not going to do it for this question. 2962. Have you ever cross-dressed? >> I’ve worn clothes that were marketed to men as well as clothes that were marketed to women. Most of the time, I wear them because I like them, not necessarily because I want to specifically give the appearance of being a gender I am not. 2963. Are we living in a world without end? >> I don’t know, but from our short-lived perspective, it would certainly seem that way. 2964. What do you think of that couple that was just on the news who kidnapped a 16 year old girl for a week and forced her to be their sex slave? >> I might remember this, but I also might be confusing it with similar cases, because apparently, this sort of bullshit happens with some regularity. Anyway, I don’t recall having an opinion about the people that do this, aside from, “well, that sure is fucked up”. 2965. Wanna watch a movie about a cheerleading competition? >> Like Bring It On?

Why is it that the truth hurts? >> Oh, because. 2971. How do you feel about: ticketmaster? scalpers? >> I’m not fond of either of these and I avoid them whenever possible (for scalpers, that’s very easy to do; for Ticketmaster, a little less so sometimes). 2972. What are you guilty of? >> *shrug* 2973. Have you ever done any of the following in order to catch a buzz or get high? sniffed glue: sniffed magic markers: ate paste: drank Nyquil, or Robitussen or any other Over-the-counter drug: <-- this was my high of choice.

If you had money to burn, what 'toy' would you spend your money on (think monopoly game with real money, luxory boat, a train layout that takes up a house, etc.)? >> I’d prefer not to spend money in that way.

If you could write your own ten commandments, what would they be? >> I would not do this. 2986. When people lose weight, where does it go? >> -___- 2987.

Your sweetie wants to have a one night stand with the celeb. Knowing that this is your sweeties one and only chance to bang (or even hang out with) a celebrity (ESPECIALLY their FAVORITE celebrity) you would say: >> I mean, duh, go for it.

Do you take a piece of those you have loved and carry it around forever? If yes, than aren't they still with you even when you are gone? >> That’s how I see it. Also, our personalities are basically amalgamations of people we’ve known (as well as bits added in from media, observation, etc), so that’s another way that people remain part of you when they’re gone.

How can you tell the differance between the end of one part of your life and the beautiful begining of the next part? >> ??? 2999. Have you ever read any stories by Kate Chopin? If not, I suggest that you do. >> That name sounds vaguely familiar, but I doubt I’ve actually read anything by her. 3000. Do you often make the best discoveries when you really weren't looking for anything (or anyone)? >> I don’t know.

He is asking her to pick up his shoe what the- She now insists that he call her boss. I wonder if anyone plays the grim reaper… Oh there he is. Its Luigi with a vacuum cleaner. Iu will now explain the job duties, which is basically help them fulfill their last wishes. I like the taxi to heaven. That flower lady is back and I would rather be in purgatory than cross the bridge to the after life. But I do like that the flowers appear to those on the bridge, and the galaxy sky is gorgeous, maybe I’d just chill on the bridge. So the dead at the hotel are those who got lost on the way to the bridge. Yo asking your soon to be boss if she is a spirit is major yikes. I love blind ghost just appearing to troll him. HE MADE HER MISTY EYED RUDE. I would say I want to protect her but IU is very clearly able to take care of herself. I dont like this, I dont want the little girl ad her mom to get hurt, but mom is kinda dumb for paying more attention to cats than her kid. What is tiger???? I want a CGI Tiger! Shadow cat! The bog ol tree has her spirit?, and she can pack in the liquor. Wait the tiger is dead, nooooooo. It has come to the hotel do we get to keep the tiger? Awww we dont….

Just naturally walking is incredibly hard!!! The old man is sick its sad, I dont like IU Being mean to him… :( The tiger haunts what’s his face. There is no way this dude is going to last. OOOOOOH Blind girl is back. What. Yes falling into the pool was the appropriate solution. I’m surprised he isn’t fired already. Lol now she is his wife.

He is sort of helping her? By using the Gavin free methodology of just stop being blind and it worked??? Aww she is pretty! And Happy! Good vibes. See being a good person makes you feel good, just do it. Really you really think you can ignore the white walker in the iron armor? Lol, I love these ghosts trolling him. Not going to lie, I thought I would like his character more, but I am leaning waaaaay more towards IU. What are these colorful rooms??? Oh damn, this spirit wants him dead dont he? Aww yes Badass IU came to save him! And as usual her fashion is on point this episode. She came to forgive him in person and he passed out due to fear? Emotionaly tired? One of the two. God this hotel is so so beautiful. I would love to visit the set… He better take the job next episode.

Classroom Afterthoughts 1 Basics and Excellencies of Game Design 2

  Today we’ll be taking a look at possibly the most filled position in game designing to this day, the Writers of all kinds and Maneurisms, the ones that shape the NARRATIVE. The Narrative in namesake may just sound like the written story, but in reality it encompasses the writing and world building any self respecting game should have as a whole. It is divided into Seven separate categories: Argument, Context, Story, Characters, Place and Ambient, Game Scripting and Scene Scripting. Now, let’s start with the Argument. The narrative Argument tells a story while making a case for a certain issue. A narrative argument follows the flow of a story, and it often includes personal anecdotes. The narrative essay is one of personal reflection that commonly uses first person pronouns to make a point. The construction of a narrative argument employs either the use of story construction or a thesis.

Next is the Context, the proverbial sand inside the bricks of your narrative’s world building, in it’s most basic functions it has the job of explaining the setting and story to come in your production. Let’s say that you’re writing for a series that takes place in a nuclear fallout setting, the context finds itself absolutely mandatory in determining things such as, how this world you’re into came to be, how the recuperation process was for the people that live in these lands, what kind of people exactly enhabit them, is it a world that mirrors our own, and so on. It’s quite a necessary development in order to aid the viewer in suspending their disbelief and therefore being able to connect more easily to the universe you’ve crafted. Which leads me to the story, the most recognizeable part of the narrative, as well as being the most customizeable. What I mean by this is that the story can be built from the Ground up in any way you want as long as it follows the steps required to make it engaging from the begining and impactful in it’s end, a well implemented plot, an interesting setting and meaningful characters. The plot in itself must not only be sensitive to the context you’ve already built, it can be given a major focus like in the Breath of Fire games, or it can be minimalistic like in Journey, it can be emotionaly heavy like in Child of Light, or it can take itself less seriously like in Viewtiful Joe. In any case, every story is told in three acts: 1.The setup: The characters are presented in their normal lives as their relationships and personality traits are estabilished, then moving into a dramatic event that Shifts the character out of their normal paradigm of life, often referred to as “the call to action” or “the dramatic incident, this event sets up the questions of the story line which will be resolved through most of the rest of the story. 2. Where most of the action is:The protagonist usually starts off act 2 lacking most of the necessary skills or knowledge to successfuly resolve the dramatic question raised in act one, therefore most of act two is spent accquiring these said atributtes, allowing for very prominent moments of drama and/or excitement to set in along the run, this is as true in romance and drama as it is in action. 3. The climax and resolution: When the characters find themselves ready to face and resolve the dramatic question, this act begins, the main issue presented is resolved, all loose ends are tied up, and we’re given a moment to contemplate the characters we’ve grown attached to throughout the story. Now lets finnaly talk about one of my personal favourites, the characters. These individuals are usually the main source of most of the game’s writing, as well as emotional input, though it’s not impossible to give emotional input through enviromental exposure. In any case, the characters are the proverbial chains that bind the player to the experience, without faces and voices to grow attached to the game is mostly just backgrounds. A common misconception about character writing is that the chatacters must be portrayed as easily likeable, relatable or sympathetic, it’s more common definetly but they merely have to be understandable and interesting as people, as an example, you might not condone a character’s criminal actions but you can understand why they do what they do, other than that however characters can be written in any which way you want as long as they are written competently, they can be brooding, cheerful, comical or even just downright mad, it’s part of what makes me enjoy writing them so much. They also tend to come in major and minor roles in the overall narrative but i personally believe that all characters deserve to at least feel alive and somewhat developped, no matter how small their role is. You as a character Writer may have even thought of writing a character based on yourself, although it’s not reccomended, it is possible and can be viable, subtlety is key though. Leading me to the final part of the plot is the place, or as it’s more commonly recognized as, the setting. Although the setting in itself should by all means feel as alive and developped as any of the characters in your game the concept is very uncomplicated, it’s the place in which your game is set in, but in practice, it should be the world that holds within it the weave of your story, the place where characters both minor and major go about their lives either as individuals or as coexistors, in any case, places can by themselves hold the player with the right context and atmosphere, as well as evoke emotion and tell stories of their own with the propper writing. I might have by accident touched upon another principal of narrative that i usually tie together with the setting, the ambiance, which is basically all the emotion and etherial feelings that are packed into a setting, like the feeling you get when you return home after being away for a while, the feeling you get when you’re unsettled by a badly lit hallway, even the wonder and mystification you feel when you’re in a dense yet beautiful forest by yourself. A plethora of emotions can be evoked by the tinyest of details, so like in anything involving writing it’s important to have a large repertoir.  So far, We’ve looked at the most basics of Narrative, the points that involve certain itricacies of writing, the only aspects left are Scene scripting and game scripting but those are points I’d like to take on when we get to Programming.

I hope you’ve all enjoyed this segment of Classroom Afterthoughts, I’ll be back tomorrow with something a little different.
