(Based on that one song I got sent. Specifically this lyric What will you share with them What will you say Paint your vision Lead the way)

Jeanz was in her room, her gaze focused on the giant canvas in front of her. It was nighttime, her tasks done for the day. She had an idea bouncing around her head all day and decided to paint her idea. She had put on some music, making sure to keep it at a decent volume. She didn't want to disturb either of her wall neighbors, seeing as she didn't exactly know who lived in either of the rooms.

Her hair was out of it's normal braid, pulled up into a messy bun ontop of her head, a paintbrush stuck through it, keeping it in place. She already had part of the canvas filled, having painted the background. The background had a big dark farmhouse with a dirt road leading away from it. On the other side of the farmhouse was an open field where animals had been painted. There were two wolves, three horses, a pure white German Shepherd, a red fox, and a deer with small antlers. Jeanz had also already painted her and Clara running through the field towards the dirt road on the other side of the canvas.

Jeanz was currently working on the other part of her canvas, focusing on getting the vehicles on the dirt road just right. There were four motorcycles and two cars. If someone looked close enough, they would look very familiar. In her concentration, Jeanz had her dog tags stuck in between her teeth. She had already changed out of her uniform into a black tank top and some loose pajama bottoms. Her cheeks had swiped of paint in different colors smudged across them, some even on her forehead, but it didn't matter to her in the moment, too focused on the big canvas in front of her. Her mind was racing of thinking where to place the other subjects that would be included in the painting.

Kotaro was in potentially the most distressing situation a mermaid can be in, that which was immobilized somewhere easily accessible to humans. So, yes, maybe he was a bit of a moron for fucking around as much as he did right by a fishing dock. But fishermen usually brought radios with them and that meant he could listen to that, listen to the fishermen whistle (he couldn't figure out how to do that yet), and if he was lucky, steal a handful of delicious worms from their bucket. He was pretty sure he understood fishing nets well enough to not get caught in one and he was more than experienced enough getting his hand ripped open on fishing hooks to not go grabbing any.

Unfortunately, the tide coming in caused a grocery bag to end up over his head, which wouldn't really be a big deal if not for the fact some discarded fishing line wrapped its way around his neck, trapping him in his plastic prison. He wouldn't have cared too much if it weren't for the fact it was one of those laminated reuseable grocery bags that he couldn't rip through. So much for "eco-friendly." With his neck gills, mouth, and nose now unable to receive moving water, even when he was latched onto the side of a boat, he was in a life or death situation. Most likely death.

He's freaking out, clinging to the side of the dock and lifting himself out of the water to breathe with the gills on his ribs every so often. He hears a voice. A human humming on the dock above. He ducks under, trying to stay out of sight, praying they'll leave, but fuck, they don't, and he can't breathe because stupid no swim bladder. Unbeknownst to him, directly in the person's line of sight, he drags himself up on the edge of the doc to take another gulp of air.

"FUCK!"

"My birthday is coming up in a couple of days, and instead of a birthday cake, I'm having birthday donuts." Duchess said as she stood in the kitchen, fixing up some coffee.

"One big box to have to myself, a couple more boxes to share with everyone else."

Hinata drank entirely too much at the new years party she was invited to. So many people kept offering her drinks, and being as polite as she was, she couldn't refuse them. That and she didn't want to seem unfun when all of her friends were drinking and having a good time.

It was just... Hinata had no idea how much of a lightweight she was. Within a few drinks, she was giggling, and flirting. Pressing herself against the first man that would show her attention. She was so not being herself. Completely out of it. Acting a bit naughty. Perhaps something was slipped into her last drink because she felt hot all over. Needy. Needy enough that she found herself on a stranger's lap, grinding on him with a drunk smile on her face,

"O-oh my... Y-you feel so big, Mister.~" Hinata slurred, feeling him through his pants.

Just for fun, what’s a movie you feel that was either ahead of its time or would’ve been appreciated more if it came out a few years later?

I’m asking because I just watched “Fifth Element” for the first time and I’m convinced that if the movie was released today, audiences wouldn’t be as turned off from its ‘overblown’ style. I feel that current audiences are much more accepting of movies that are extremely campy and outrageous, especially since anime and superheroes are now more accepted in the mainstream.

Another one could be “Starship Troopers”. I feel that present-day audiences would catch on the movie’s obvious satirical take of fascism much faster due to the current political climate. Maybe this is just me, but when I first saw this movie, I just thought it was soldiers shooting monsters (I was in elementary school at the time). I only learned that it was a satire afterwards when I read about the making of the movie. Nowadays, thanks to social media, I’ll hear about an upcoming movie’s supposed political stances before I even watch it. I just feel that if “Starship Troopers” was released today, it’d be review-bombed weeks before its release due to how ‘woke’ it is, as well as praised for its sharp satirical take of the military industrial complex. Which I think the director would be fine with since that’s in line with his vision of the movie in the first place.

Anyways, sorry for the long tangent. What do y’all feel were movies that were ahead of their time?

What is a way people meet (romantically) anymore? Does anyone have any recommendations for apps or anything?

Do people not call those anonymous phone lines just to talk anymore? (A concept that's probably too old)

Is Hinge, Bumble, Plenty of Fish, Tinder really all there is in the present day??? 😔

I remember back in college I briefly used a local app called YikYak to anonymously talk to locals. I'm not able to download the app anymore. Is there something similar to that out now that you recommend?

Leopold snickers a bit, trying to resist the urge to say what had just so suddenly come to mind. Clearing his throat, he steels himself before becoming serious, waiting for his target to come into view. When they did he called over toward them, saying "Have you accepted the Government into your heart?" Waving a DMV pamphlet as he spoke.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 his outstretched leg, and the tree he rested his tired figure against still grew tall well above his head – that's one of the many things he loves the most about the Fire Country, how tall and imposing the trees here are. The moon reflected almost perfectly within the dark brown irises while Itachi aimed his eyes up, watching the night sky talk to his soul in a manner he couldn't translate. He only looks away upon hearing the tell-tale signs of someone approaching on the ground, dried leaves crunching underneath their feet and their chakra warm around them.   “ I advise you against continuing that way. ”   Itachi says, resting one forearm on his bent knee rather gracefully for a man sitting on a tree.   “ Kisame is not in a very agreeable mood tonight, and he's just past the river. ”

The week leading up to Halloween the harbor was often crowded with yacht filled with rich teens partying where they were less likely to be caught drinking and getting high. The word Halloween didn't have much of a meaning for merfolk, but to Kotoro he'd come to associate it with an excess of observation opportunities. The music resonating off the boat Kotaro had currently suctioned himself onto was nothing like the hypnotic operatic of merfolk. He could feel it reverberate through his body; drums rattling his ribs and bass shaking his core. With a wet pop he pulls himself free from the side of the yacht to swim away just a little bit. It's easier to watch the human silhouettes dance when he isn't sidled up right next to it.

The LED lights reflect brightly in Kotaro's wide silvery eyes. How fun and exciting. There were bright lights at the bottom of the sea, too, but not in this many colors. Mermaids danced when they sang, but not this erratic and passionately. Suddenly, a human approaches the edge of the ship to look into the dark waters below. Kotaro sinks a bit deeper, letting his hair wave around his head to blend into the waves. Would this human sing too? Sing and rap and dance? His eyes shine in the dark, watching with rapt attention.

Nature always would have a special place in her heart no matter the world she visits. It's become easier slowly to be away from home after all the chaos.

While admiring some flowers her mind wanders off contemplating if it's worth trying to remember everything she lost. A noise causes one of those chocolate ears to twitch as emerald eyes glance over. "Excuse me?"

I got a question for anyone who wants to answer. Can anyone name a story where enemies have to work together to fight a mutual foe? Also, the mutual enemy has to be a third party/separate faction.

Off the top of my head:

1) Jason and Salim from “House of Ashes” (U.S. Marine and Iraqi Republican Guard / Iraq War / the mutual enemy are alien vampires)

2) Warren and Mannix from “The Hateful Eight” (Union and Confederate veterans / American Civil War / the mutual enemy are the Jody Domingre gang)

3) The Hamunaptra dig party and Ardeth Bay’s Medjai from “The Mummy” (no war, but one side wanted to discover Hamunaptra’s secrets, the other wanted to keep it buried / the mutual enemy is Imhotep)
