#but at least leeks and i are

[kekstala]

If your looking for more cute dipplinshippimg fics, I recommend Another no good very bad semester. It's a kieranpon au fic but has so many cute dippinshipping moments

And it’s been awesome!

At first I‘d been very skeptical, since I’m not really fond about the “Kieran’s secertly a pokemon” troop - but I give this one a pass, since it’s very well written and offers a good “what if” scenario.

Altough I have to say, I don’t like the amount of OCs this fic has to offer….

Don’t get me wrong, this stroy NEEDS OCs otherwise Kierans job in the school would be very onesided in the long run lol

I’m just not a fan of fanfics that gets overrun with OCs, taking the spotlight of the canon people I guess…which’s not the case here don’t worry, I’m just picky that’s all :D

It’s still an awesome story which I enjoyed a lot…but man do I want to give this Kieran a hug, because holy damn he’s been trough so much shit in this one LOL

Go away Peachy, Ribombee doesn’t need to be stalked in yet another story :U

So yeah guys if you read this, give this fanfic a try, It’s really good - promise <3

Oh and leave the author @angelabsol some love as well, since their are feeding us with these awesome stories!

HEY

what are things to do in New York in August !!!!

[niinnyu]

A little rant about leaks because I'm lowkey dreading them. And I'd appreciate it if you'd read it (and if not... 👁👁).

I find the jjk fandom's (though it's true for others too) reliance on leaks very off-putting. I know people want to look forward to something in the middle of the week and talk about it, but this just feels disrespectful, while also being at the cost of other people getting to enjoy it as they want to whether you care about getting spoiled or not.

So many people just don't tag leaks and spoilers properly (forget places where tagging doesn't even make a difference). Seeing things trending with the context of previous chapters explains everything. Not to mention people mis-tagging spoilers and leaks interchangeably (you can remove leak tags after the chapter is officially published but not spoiler tags!!) And no, you're not subtle with your 'out of context spoilers' to someone who has all previous context.

But what boggles my mind is why would you want someone to shout the punchline of a joke in your face before any of the setup has been done. You'll have a bunch of deepfried 2 pixel screenshot of screenshot quality manga panels of crucial moments with none of the build up and pacing. Paired with the most lacklustre explainations of what's happening (the phrasing of which can be biased to the leaker's opinions). Translating isn't easy. To convey what exactly something means from one language to another in an effective and in the intended way isn't easy (shoutout to fan translators tho y'all are amazing thank you for your time and effort)

And whether you care about the story or not, heck even if you think the mangaka themself doesn't care about it, it is just so disrespectful to the content that you're consuming. Making comics and manga isn't easy (churning them weakly is insane imo esp when a lot of mangaka aren't even full time artists) so why wouldn't you allow yourself to consume their story the way they've themself laid it out. Where one panel comes after the other. Where one expression has context in the next page. Where a dialogue has weight only when placed with another dialogue. Give the creator(s) this little grace too, because whether you like a story or not, there is still a huge amount of effort and skill, by multiple people, going into it.

And I personally love interacting with the fandoms I'm in, literally sometimes the only source of joy I have (yes ik leave me alone) is interacting with other fans and having my mind blown over their art and writing and theories. And I'd rather not be spoiled unless I'm myself seeking them out or just reading the actual chapter. So this involves me either spoiling it for myself before someone else does it, or spoiler dodging for 5 OUT OF 7 DAYS A WEEK EVERY WEEK.

I'm not even saying you should only look for official sources or whatever because I know not everyone has access to legal places to read (tho the shounen jump app is there for those interested, but yeah i get it for other publications), but there are better ways to read/hate-readyour fav/least fav manga out there without ruining it for someone else. The wait is juuust a couple of days more. There is absolutely no dearth of fan made content that can't help you last another few days, maybe your new fav fan creator is right around a little wait (ahem check my bs out if you'd like ahem ahem).

I just want to be able to interact with the fandom for more than just 2 days a week, and I don't like my accounts dying because i dissapear 5 days either, and is that a such a bad thing? I come online to have fun, not run an obstacle race y'know?

[pls-just-let-me-marry-yeung]

Honestly my favorite thing to do in the summer is to buy some Ice Cream from Alex and give them to Penny, Jas and Vincent. Is just a little thing I do sometimes, I just think Penny deserves a treat for looking after the kids and teaching them and Jas & Vincent love Ice Cream so is a win-win!

[pcktknife]

9/11 is always very surreal bc i do remember being pulled out of school for it and then every year on the anniversary my mom would make me watch all the 9/11 documentaries on 60minutes or nbc or whatever, like the same 5 almost hour long ones they played every year, to the point where i have them practically memorized. and i thought this was all very normal till i told my partner after moving out and they were like yeah your mom is insane? no one fucking does that

[youreaclownnow]

Yall wouldn't be able to comprehend the quantity of tomatoes I consumed while watching gwitch. Almost every episode. Tomatoes.

[lucilles-witchery]

Can't stop thinking about having to look-after Bakugo after he gets too injured using his quirk against some villains that infiltrated the school. tending to his aches and pains and force-feeding him soup and putting up with his insufferably adorable sick attitude.

---

"Katsu if you don't finish your soup, you won't get better!" you pout. You'd been trying to feed him his chicken and leek soup for at least 45 minutes now, but he'd kept insisting you give him a kiss between each spoonful.

"You're so gorgeous" He coos, his half-lidded eyes drooping, a dopey smile on his face and his thick arms roping around your waist pulling you onto his lap.

"Eat now, kisses later" Smiling, you push against his toned chest trying to angle the last bite at his mouth.

---

AHHH I SWEAR he's a little softie at heart

German* food poll but we have meatless options

A while ago everyone did those regional food polls and i wanted to do one back then but forgot... anyway. If you don't eat meat the options can be very limited in (traditional) restaurants around here. I wanted to do one with dishes that don't typically contain meat or can at least be easily adapted. Also yes this is kind of based on both my personal tastes and experiences so it's biased towards southern food, lmao. If you're vegan please just pretend it's a vegan version it's almost impossible to find options otherwise

*yes some of these are technically considered to be from Austria or France but they're still incredibly common in the regions near the border.

ⓘ face fucking, suffocation, dubcon, name calling, idk jaehyun is mean and gross

jaehyun almost felt bad. key word: almost. but he couldn’t help but laugh, being quickly interrupted by his own moans. he looks down at you, mockingly.

your jaw ached with so much intensity you were certain it was going to fall off at any moment, and your tears blurred your vision. maybe it was for the better, seeing jaehyun’s smug face made you angry.

you tried to tap him, scratch, hit, anything to warn him that you couldn’t breathe, but all he did was laugh breathlessly, choking out, “you’ll take it, baby, jus’ a little longer.”

he’d been saying a little longer for an eternity by now. you felt the caps of your knees go numb from the hardwood floor of jaehyun’s bedroom, and your core ached. but you knew better than to touch yourself. no, jaehyun wouldn’t like that one bit.

jaehyun’s hips snapped into the back of your throat fervently, a jumble of curses and praises and groans clouding the room. your gags and tear stained face only egging him on further, “fuck, w-wish you could see how you, ah, looked right now.”

you sputtered as jaehyun’s cock went especially deep on one thrust, only able being able to hear his strangled chuckle as your eyes were screwed shut. his grip on your hair was vicious, tightening as his hips somehow managed to go faster.

you wanted to scream, to let jaehyun know that you were surely going to faint at any moment, black spots scattered across your plane of vision and limbs starting to tingle and go numb, and as if god somehow heard your prayers, jaehyun slowed down.

you look up at hm through your eyelashes curiously, wondering what prompted him to suddenly show mercy. his thumb came down and hooked onto your right cheek, tugging at it, creating an almost x-ray type of vision as he was able to see how the inside of your mouth looked with his angry cock hitting the back your throat. you could feel it twitch at the lewd position you were put in.

“fuuuuck, ju-jus’ let me look at you for a bit baby,” jaehyun said, panting. his eyes were trained on your mouth, on your lips, mesmerized by the way they molded around his cock perfectly.

your body relaxed a bit at jaehyun’s calm pace, thanking his fascination with your mouth for giving you a moment to breathe. it continued on for a bit, jaehyun was seemingly hypnotized by the sight of your mouth, the pad of his thumb starting to wrinkle from the saliva of your inner cheek that he was still holding open.

“i think i could cum just from looking at you like this,” he panted out, his mouth agape in awe and eyes half open.

and before you could even think, jaehyun’s other hand pushes your head all the way down, the tip of your nose hitting his crooked happy trail. his other hand pulls away from your cheek, and you inhaled his musk for what was probably going to be the last time as his thumb and forefinger pinched your red, snotty nose, his brutal pace picking back up.

your eyes widened at jaehyun’s action, tears immediately brimming and then quickly falling down your face as you felt your throat tighten.

jaehyun laughs, “mm, s-stupid bitch, you’re gon’ choke on this dick,” he grins, watching the way your mouth gives up on trying to even suck him and just lays open for him to play with. his eyebrows furrowed as his face contorted, “y-yeah, shit, you’re gon’ choke and you’re gon’ like it.”

saliva bubbled out of the corners of your mouth, running down your chin and neck. you begin to sob, or at least try to, snot leeking out of jaehyun’s hold on your nose and beginning to trail down your lips. your eyes burned from how much you’d been crying, and you wondered how jaehyun was lasting so long, praying that he’d break and come down your throat.

“wha-, ah, what’s wrong baby? c-can’t breathe?” he cooed, his head craning down to take a better look at your helpless and damp face, hair sticking to your forehead and the sides of your face, your eyelids beginning to droop at how lightheaded you were starting to feel.

your nails clawed at jaehyun’s thighs, glancing down for a second to see you’d actually drawn blood. you accepted the fact that jaehyun probably wasn’t going to stop, his sick self was going to keep going till you passed out and your body went limp. your muscles were sore from constricting and tensing at his pace, bracing yourself for each thrust. you’re vision began to darken again.

jaehyun smiled down at you lazily, his pace quickening as he finally felt himself getting close, hoping that you’d hold out a little longer so he could cum down your throat and have you swallow it, letting it pool it in your tummy, “mmf, j-jus’ a little longer baby.”

you tried to shake your head, but your current half-conscious state, the lack of air, and the fact that you had jaehyun’s enormous cock in your mouth made it almost impossible.

jaehyun laughed down at you, his breathing becoming labored and hips stuttering, “gon’ go sleep sleep? fuck, go ahead baby, you’re gon’ wake up looking s-so pretty f’me with cum all o-over you.”

in your final moments of consciousness, hot, sticky cum rushed down your throat, jaehyun’s groans sounding almost pained as his large hand kept your head in place, forgetting his other one was still pinching your nose.

jaehyun looked down to see your head had gone limp, smirking to himself as he pulled you off him.

[thebibliosphere]

Something I've been recommending a lot to my fellow MCAS + POTS-sufferers at the moment, has been investing in a soup blender.

Apart from beta blockers, the primary treatment for POTS is increasing salt and water. A really good way of combining both and upping your nutritional value is by drinking things like bone broth or veggie stock.

But if you're like me with a ton of allergies (so you can't buy anything premade🙃) and bone broth raises your histamine, then you're left with the energy sapping task of making your own.

And I don't know about any of you, but when my nervous system is throwing a wobbler, the last thing I am capable of doing is standing up for long periods at a time over a hot stove.

Some people get around this by using a slow cooker, which is great if you can. I personally can't because slow cooking raises the histamine content of food (especially meat) and also, the clue is in the name, it's a slow cooker and sometimes my POTSie, ADHD butt needs food now-ish or as soon as possible and not 8 hours later. Instapots can be good, but they take up a lot of counter space and also I don't know if you've ever tried to release a pressure cooker valve when you can barely stand, but I genuinely think that's the closest I've come to dying and I've experienced both megaloblastic and hemalytic anemia.

Which is why we got a soup blender. They take up less space, are generally easier to clean, and also easier for me, at least, to use. All you need to do is roughly chop your ingredients up, dump them in the jug, add seasoning, fill the jug with water, hit the soup function and then sit your ass down for the next 20 minutes while this magical fucking thing both cooks and blends you some liquidy goodness.

I will say, don't invest in the instapot one. It's not worth the price point, and the motor burned out on mine after about six months. It was also a pain in the ass to clean. (The self clean was more of a "swish water around for 30 seconds" function and I can't tell you how many times I hurt myself trying to get gunk off the bottom.)

The one I currently have is a Ninja HB152 Foodi Heat-iQ Blender, which was a little more expensive, but in my opinion, far superior and better made. It's faster, makes either chunky or smooth soup, really good consistency dips, ice cream and smoothies. I've also used it to make alternative milks like oat milk and it didn't jam the blades.

It also has a great cleaning system that actually takes a full 6 minutes to run and really gets any residue off the base, and it also alerts you to things like the jug or lid not being secure, which is great when I'm brain-fogged and try to blend things without the lid on.

Anyway, this post brought to you not by Ninja but by @mothman-etd making me some leek and potato soup laden with enough salt to make this POTS episode manageable.

Just throwing the info out there. Hope it helps someone.

Hi! :)

Could you please do a funny/witty/bantery rec list?

Looking more so for writing tone, but dialogue would ofc also be okay!

Thank you so much x

Hi there! I have a reclist for witty!Draco, but here are some witty fics I really love. They are such fun reads I remember exactly which scenes made me laugh out loud. In terms of writing tone, 4 authors whose sense of humor always hit the mark for me are astolat, shiftylinguini, blamebrampton and iota. Enjoy!

Tense by Faith Wood (E, 3k)

Harry and Draco have sex. Very, very slowly. Seriously, this is, like, 3K of penetration.

Never Gonna Give You Up by InnerLilith (E, 5k)

Five times Harry rickrolls Draco and one time Draco gets him back.

Game On by @pennygalleon (T, 5k)

Draco blows Harry a kiss and the press goes nuts. Harry suggests they use this to their advantage.

Matched Set by astolat (E, 6k)

“No one asked you to look, did they?” Draco said, eyes glittering and intent on Harry’s face—like he’d just wiped off the years and turned back in time to when their greatest ambition in life had been to knock the other off his broom in front of the school and grab the Snitch first, before they’d both gone to war and come back with scars.

Up The by @shiftylinguini (E, 7k)

“I feel I need to point out,” Draco kissed gently over Harry’s Adam’s apple, “that this is the most Gryffindor approach to conception that could possibly exist.”

draco malfoy's substitute murder service by @oknowkiss (E, 10k)

When Harry joins the Curse Breakers shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday, he’s surprised to find himself assigned to the Department of Creatures, Cryptids, and Associated Calamities.

The Loathly Worm by Selden (E, 12k)

When Draco Malfoy is forced to go undercover among the remaining Death Eaters in the aftermath of the war, the last person he expects to find there is Harry Potter.

Party of Two by fireflavored (E, 13k)

Drinking, sex, and a total misreading of the concept of fuck buddies.

keep it down, orphaned (E, 13k)

Malfoy’s an inconsiderately loud roommate and Harry’s over it.

An Act of Kindness for One Harry Potter by a Sympathetic Draco Malfoy by 0idontknow0 (E, 15k)

As Draco leaned on the wall to wait for them to get dressed, he could not help feeling like he had done a very kind thing by disrupting them. Someone should give Potter a better rogering than that sorry sod had. The man had saved the bloody world—okay, mostly Europe—the least someone could do was give him a proper shag.

Stupid Love by @the-sinking-ship (E, 17k)

Harry Potter, how does Draco Malfoy hate thee? Let me count the ways.

Heartlines by @sorrybutblog (T, 22k)

Just as Draco Malfoy's life seems to be getting back on track, the magic at Malfoy Manor is spinning out of control. Auror partners Harry Potter and Angelina Johnson are assigned to the case and quickly find that nothing about the situation is obvious. The flare ups are unpredictable at best, downright dangerous at worst, and why has a Hogwarts first year gone missing at the same time?

Little Red Courgette by blamebrampton (T, 31k)

When this season's purple courgettes are woefully thin, Draco Malfoy thinks it amounts to small beans. Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed?

Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (E, 36k)

According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot.

Bite Me, Hate Memes by pir8fancier (E, 44k)

Draco Malfoy is incensed to realize that someone is trying to usurp his position as the premier Harry Potter hater.

Rookie Moves by peu_a_peu (E, 75k)

Aurors Potter and Malfoy crack the case.

The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 103k)

This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.

[flowerishness]

Allium (onion)

Allium is a genera of at least 260 species (often called the onion family) and is the source of many familiar kitchen vegetables including: onions, garlic, scallions, shallots, leeks and chives. Alliums are also grown as garden ornamentals and most of these varieties come in two colors: purple and white.

I grow two types of Allium: chives and garlic. I let some of the chives flower because, for me, chives don't have many culinary applications, outside of egg dishes. However, when the garlic forms a flower stalk (called a scape) I cut it off before it blooms. This forces the plant to concentrate it's energy on making a larger bulb, rather than wasting it on setting seed.

Growing onions requires a similar strategy. When onions flower, the bulb forms two halves and is generally a lot smaller. You can still eat these bolted bulbs but they don't 'keep' so they must be eaten immediately. All the onions you buy in a grocery store have been previously 'deflowered' and should keep for up to three months in a cool, dark place.

[mayasaura]

Call me a hopeless goth, but I kind of like the Ninth House's funerary practices and I wish we knew more about them. At least, I like what they could be: what I imagine they once were, before their culture was shattered.

The Ninth as we see it is a civilization in its death throes. It's a utilitarian horror show, hollowed out by tragedy and stripped of all dignity and sentiment, but we have good reason to think it wasn't always like that. They have a history of fine textile production and poetry, and occassionally forming hero cults to celebrate cultural icons. There used to be families who raised their children communally. Before the sea of tiny coffins, the Ninth may have known how to live, and even how to mourn.

There are glimmers of what their death culture might have been like in Harrow's prayer beads: made from the bones of her ancestors, a tangible link to her history and community. And in Gideon searching for her mother in the leek fields, imagining that a woman she never met is still present in her life.

In a living culture with a functioning community, the use of human bone as a crafting material could make mundane objects into momentos, ways to keep loved ones close after their passing. The skeleton servitors could be seen as a way individuals continued to care and provide for the community, even after death.

If their dead are routinely exhumed to be added to the chore rota, it would make sense for the exhumation, cleaning, and raising of those bones to traditionally be a cultural ritual like a graduation or funeral. Most of those skeletons would have had living friends and family working alongside them, when the Ninth still had generations. The skeleton sweeping the chapel used to be someone's uncle. People in these cultures do mourn death. We've seen them with the corpses of people they knew, and they're not completely desensitized; just very weird. There's a throw-away line once about Harrow having a pet peeve about personalising the skeletons, which means it must be fairly common to do that. What was to stop previous generations of the Ninth from getting scolded for putting funny hats on Cousin Balbus's bones? Nothing, that's what. Balbus liked hats, anyway, so I don't see how it was disrespectful.

I'm sure Wake didn't get a ceremony when she was raised as a servitor; the main beneficiary would have been Gideon, and god fucking knows no one ever went out of their way to make her feel like part of the community. I'm betting no one does raising ceremonies for anyone, anymore. The Ninth is as good as dead, and no one ever taught the youngest generation how to mourn. But for ten thousand years, the Ninth successfully lived in very close proximity to mundane natural death. It's fun to imagine what that looked like.
