#but don’t get me wrong. I still do love all the other combos too.

[forcedhesitation]

I love that the bg3 guys are all written to have this intense adoration of karlach and lae’zel’s abilities to absolutely eviscerate their enemies. they’ve all got the same taste in women, which is “she could gut the big scary man chasing me, and then princess carry me to safety in her blood spattered arms.” and I respect and relate to that, as a bisexual man myself.

[gloxk]

just sitting here high asf thinking about getting the sloppiest head from aot guyzzz…*HEAVY ASS SIGH* let me wish upon a star hoping someone could write about this for me…*LONG HEAVY EXTREME SIGH.*

⁺ 　 . ✦ Favorite eaters ⁺ 　 . ✦

(Eren Y. Armin A. Connie S.)

A/N: ugh yes girl ik the feeling … im to sitting here wondering how nasty eren would eat the kitty…BUT ANYWAYS TYSM FOR 600!!! NEXT STOP 700!!! AHHH!

Synopsis: Aot men as your favorite eater.

━━━━━━━⚥━━━━━━━

♡ Eren ♡

Ughh omg..Eren giving you nasty head after he pissed you off…The type of head that makes you run away in shame!!!

“Givin me an attitude ain’t gonna get you anywhere, you know better den that.” Eren scoffed, while tossing a blunt over to you.

Oh boy how he was so undeniably wrong.

You could tell Eren was unamused with your bullshit. He wasn’t taking you ignoring lightly at all.

“You gon fix it or am I, figure it out.” he whispered in your ear. You stood on what you dished out, you weren’t fixing shit.

You chuckled at him in response, how stupid he was to think you were going to pipe down.

That was until he found his way between your thighs..

One hand tangled in his brown locs and the other one holding a blunt. Best combo..

You lazily rutted against his tongue while his piercing twirled against your puffy clit.

It was so hard to look him in the eyes after he made you cum on his tongue 3 times.

“Still got an attitude baby?”

Let’s just say..you ain’t had one after that.

♡ Armin ♡

Oh..lawd. I said this once i’ll say it A FUCKING AGAIN. Armin is a pussy eater expert. He’s VERY talented in that ‘field’..

This man has no problem eating it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Hell, he will wake up and decide he’s hungry and start going crazy.

That’s how your morning starts..with Armin stuck between your thighs eating it so you can wake up.

Eyes barely opened and you’re already on the verge of cumming..his way of saying ‘goodmorning’.

He so eager to do it too. Sometimes yall could just be watching netflix and he will insist on eating you out.

“Well, I mean, the show is kind of boring. Just come on, it will be quick.” He’ll beg and beg, “Please, I know you’re tired, I can help you go to sleep faster!”

His contact name is NyQuil in yo phone! (If you know. you know .)

When he say fast..oh baby he mean fast. That tongue can move at speeds you didn’t even know existed.

But his favorite time to get to munching is before you go to work.

“We got 10 minutes Armin.” He don’t need even need 10 he will make you cum in 5.

♡ Connie ♡

Ex! Connie getting fucking wasted and coming back home and eating you till your cummin everywhere…

I just know he eats it with his grillz on..I just know.

You want nasty head? Connie is your man for it. He gonna make it SLOPPY SLOPPY.

“Baby whatchu mean, we supposed to be in love..” his words slightly slur, he had a fuck boy grin plastered over his face. “stop acting like you ain’t happy to see me.”

He wasn’t supposed to be there and he knew that. But you couldn’t stay mad at him for long, especially when he was telling you how much he missed you. “Cmere baby i’ve been missin you..” & “I know you mad at me lemme change that.”

if ‘Let my face be yo chair’ was a person…

Sitting on his face is a pleasure to you and him. He gets to see his (ex) girlfriend and you get some head.

A win win in your books!

You grinding against his golden grills while his hands rub your waist up and down. “You got such pretty moans, lemme hear em baby.” & “Uh-huh, let it out mama.”

He’s looking you dead in your eyes while doing it too…

“You made such a mess baby. Don’t worry go to sleep, ima clean it up.” UGH THIS MAN….

best ex ever!

going absolute feral for these men it don’t even make any sense.

Nami x male reader

FROM MY LIST

SO YUP FINALLY DOING IT

there needs to be more fluffy content for her x male reader. RIGHT NOW. :) enjoy ♥︎

OKK SO

why i gotta start like that every time🧍‍♀️

NAMI WORKS U TO THE BONE

less then other men tho

she cares about u obviously

but ur still her man!!

so you steal still gotta do stuff for her<3

even more so really

bc like

YOUR HER MAN

of course you have to carry her bags, watch her fashion shows, bring her drinks, take her out expensive places, help her pick the outfit of the day, wrestle the boys not to bother her, carry her, protect her from too strong of foes and be forced to wear girly stuff for her own amusement?? wym?? your her boyfriend!

yup and i mean it, you gotta do all that

if you can’t carry all her bags and buy all her stuff how else will it get done??

and you better have money too

i assume you do since she wouldn’t GET with a broke man…

i mean unless you really charmed her

its too high of a priority for her to over look unless you have a golden personality or something

dw about it tho either way she loves you and money<3

and yes you do have to sit there and watch all her fashion shows til the end

and you BETTER give good replies too

i’m talking you gotta be the boyfriend who turns into her best friend for a hot sec to hype her up 🤪

”you go girl”

”omg your that girl frfr”

”that outfit ate DOWN.”

LOLOL it’s fun for both of you

unless your like strictly masculine or smth

then u might be more annoyed

but the combo of you loving your girlfriend and her being really good at persuading people leads to you doing it anyway

honestly for bringing her drinks and food

sanji usually makes it

he tells you to give credits but you don’t

especially if you can cook yourself

sanji insists he should do it since he’s the official cook

but sometimes you do it anyway

so it can come straight from the heart yk?

you and sanji may or may not beef

if you have no problem with him then it’s prob one sided on his side

definitely mad you bagged nami before he did

or any woman for that matter

but anyway

you mostly bring her refreshments and food when she’s working on her maps :)

btw it takes like 80 minutes to pick out the outfit of the day

she gets you up early so you can help her

that way by the time everyone else is up it seems like she whips up really good outfits just like that

when in actuality

“ok this one or this one?”

”uhh that one..?”

“NO WRONG ANSWER”

💥

nah i’m playing she doesn’t hit you

(yes she does but it’s lovingly)

[no it’s not but she doesn’t do it as often to you as she does the other guys]

anyway again..

yeah there’s such thing as a wrong answer

”why’d you ask me if you already had one in mind??”

“you were supposed to agree with me!”

”how was i supposed to know which one to pick??”

😡

as far as tackling the rest of the boys

”honey~ handle my light weight”

the way i wrote it made it seem lighthearted but the glint in her yes tells you—you better do it

annddd you do!

you fling luffy outside, he lands onto usopp who starts playing with him

you drag (snoring) zoro out onto the deck to sleep

you remind franky about the project he was working on

you tell brook to go play some music for luffy and usopp

you ask chopper some doctor sounding question which gives him a new idea to try out and he rushes off

robin is being quiet already<3

and sanji’s just cooking dinner:)

so now, problem solved, nami can have some peace and quiet

yippie!! mission accomplished!

now there’s not gonna be a expensive place on every island but if there is you can bet your beli she’s making you take her there

and she’s blowing off all your money

at the least it’s just you two tho

you somehow shake the rest of the crew to get some alone time

the date turns out to be really romantic and sweet so you enjoy it even if your pockets hurt

y’all def steal stuff from the restaurant

you don’t have her swiping habit but the silverware was real gold and oh boy did the opportunity of money sound sweet like honey 😋

carrying her is self explanatory

she just wants to be treated with grace and care

likes he’s delicate and beautiful the way she is

which she is

so you do:)

you carry her all types of ways but never roughly or 💥💥

mostly bridal style

cuz duh it’s romantic

you’ve even kissed her like that quite a few times

random but she likes to watch the sunset with you

btw you definitely kicked some fish butt if you joined early enough

even if you only had a crush on her back then

you fo’ sure weren’t gon let that slide 🤨🤨

what arlong thought this was⁉️🗣

not on your watch‼️

i hope your strong cuz even if your not you gonna become her shield or smth cuzzz..

YOUR HER BOYFRIEND

YOU GOTS TO PROTECT HER NOW

WHICH MEANS YOU TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM FOOL!!

if your strong and have muscles she prob secretly or not so secretly admires them

and yes my mans, as the last topic you will wear makeup and girly hairstyles

especially if you have long hair—then she def wants to play in it

there’s no saying no either

i don’t know what to tell you if you don’t like it my brother

have fun 🤷‍♀️

LOL i love these they were so fun n silly 🤪

enjoy male readers!! come eat good!!

Safe Foods + Diet Foods Masterpost

(I live in the Midwest)

This is a list of a bunch of my personal favorite foods and ingredients to utilize when I’m heavily restricting. I usually love making the highest volume possible out of the lowest cals, but I also sometimes eat smaller amounts of higher calorie/denser foods if I’m, say, wearing something tight or whatever and don’t want to be water bloated. I believe in the importance of being at least mildly sated, and also in the importance of multivitamins+supplements! If you’re restricting, there is a 100% guarantee you are not getting enough vitamins to maintain external functions you really don’t want to start failing on you. I lost a lot of hair when I dropped a fuck ton of weight for the first time because I was 14 at my worst and didn’t understand anything/didn’t care at all about body chemistry, but after I was forced to recover, after my hair began growing back and thickening up, it became very important to me—as did many other aspects of my body that are influenced+enhanced by the ingestion of vitamin supplement (also hair oils like rosemary and castor and almond, leave-in conditioners, good conditioner in general // all of these things will support hair health and maintenance, specifically!) So take your vitamins! Especially capsules, because gummy vitamins are easier for your body to flush out. Plus, a lot of them are just placebos dyed a fun color and rolled in sugar. (The “Now” brand offers very high quality supplements and multivitamins in capsules/pill form)

Also, now that I’m an adult and can buy my own groceries, I have much more access to helpful tools that I wouldn’t have been able to access at 14 or wouldn’t have known enough about to even bother figuring out more. I’m much more educated now and feel almost as if restricting is too easy, too fun. Will it become a problem? Maybe. But until then, and as long as I know we’re all bent on our own destruction anyway, I’ll share what I know, because I wish I would have known about some of these things the first time I decided to dive headlong into the pits of despair (‘:

I can share my favorite combos/meals in another post if anyone would like to see it! First, though, a few general rules I follow, as a sort of context to the masterpost:

1. Caloric intake matters first and foremost. It’s just the simplest way for me to track what I’m eating. (Now don’t do this, but) You could be eating the shittiest, sugariest, most processed diet on the planet but if you’re in a caloric deficit, you’re still going to lose weight.

2. All vegetables are safe. A vegetable is not out here making anyone fat or unhealthy. Certain vegetables, like potatoes, are denser in calories, so it’s just a matter of learning how to use them, but if that scares or triggers you, stay away! For me, I always try to maintain that plants are nothing to be afraid of. I’m neurotic enough without being afraid of the food that literally comes from the earth.

3. All fruits are safe. Moderation is more important to keep in mind when it comes to fruits versus vegetables, because fruit contains more sugar, which means more calories overall. But fruits are my favorite additions to breakfasts, or as sides/snacks later on in the day. It’s a little extra something to crunch/chew on, and all fruit is just so yummy.

4. There’s nothing wrong with a chocolate fix!!! Dark chocolate (the higher the percentage, the better!) has numerous health benefits because it contains a plethora of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It can be high calorie, so enjoy it in moderation, but there is absolutely nothing I love more than taking my time on a lux little square of dark chocolate while I’m reading a book.

5. No eating after 10pm. (I know most people choose an earlier time, but I’m a college student in a stem field who walks from her apartment to campus, so I get home later than traditional dinner time most nights.)

6. No eating before 7am. (8am is preferable.)

7. Eliminate as many sugary, processed carbs as possible. They aren’t really satisfying your body, and consuming these kinds of foods while restricting often leads to uncontrollable bingeing.

8. Eliminate fried foods (unless you figure out an air frier for a cheat night or something).

9. If you’re going to focus on any macros/micros, focus on protein and fiber! Protein is greater sustenance; fiber makes you shit.

10. If you binge, you binge. It happens. It comes with the territory of ED’s. Your body is literally pre-programmed to react this way to starvation because it’s a self-defense mechanism, and for many people, it’s an emotional defense mechanism. Just make your best mental and physical effort to minimize damage. Screwing yourself into the ceiling and just eating more will make you feel cosmically worse. Try to catch yourself before saying “fuck it” and continuing to binge harder, because even you know you don’t really mean that, and you know you’ll hate yourself to the moon for it later. Take a deep breath, name a few of the five senses to ground yourself or whatever, and then walk away. Listen to some music. Chew some gum or start sipping on lemon water. And remember: one pound is 3,500 calories. You would have had to eat that much on top of your basal metabolic rate (how many calories your body burns just existing) to gain just one pound. Water retention can be flushed. Fat cannot be.

11. Drink at least two quarts of water a day.

12. Take your fucking vitamins. xoxo

A Moment Of Peace

This is all just fluff, literally no plot, just fluff

Word Count: 1,857

Warnings: None

This is a SFW tickle fic, if you don’t like that then don’t read :)

THIS IS ALL PLATONIC, DON'T YOU DARE BRING SHIPPING INTO THIS YA NASTIES

Tommy sighs blissfully, tightening his hold on the warm figure underneath him and nuzzles into the soft sweater against his cheek. A soft, fond laugh flutters his curls, soon followed by a hand carding gently through the golden hair. Tommy immediately lets out a content hum, pressing up into the contact before settling back down into Wilbur’s chest, his smile etched permanently into his cheeks.

This was what he’d been craving, what he'd needed. After weeks of vlogging, and editing, and seemingly endless work, he’d been given the opportunity to relax. Well, ‘given’ is kind of the wrong word. It was more Wilbur barging into his flat without warning to kidnap him and forcefully take care of him. Not that Tommy was complaining of course. He’d willingly let the musician steal him away from his work any day, and besides, he needed the break. He was sure his eyes were going to turn into squares with how long he’d been staring at his computer screen.

As well as Tommy's own relentless hard work, Wilbur has been over doing it himself too. The Lovejoy tour took a lot out of him, and he was well overdue for a break. His band mates had put their foot down when Wilbur just about smashed into a door frame from stumbling around in his exhaustion. Ash was similarly tired after getting back from New York and having to jump straight into the Lovejoy gigs. The musicians all agreed they needed some time to recoup, and Wilbur's immediate go-to was his little brother. They hadn't seen each other in weeks, the world was without the Crime Boys and Wilbur wouldn't stand for it a minute longer. Air-go, kidnapping the blonde and bringing him back to his own flat for take out and cuddles. 

It was a great relaxation combo. 

Wilbur’s hand smooths over his unruly curls once more, earning a pleased noise from the boy when he scratches at the scalp too. The brunette holding him so tenderly breathes out a quiet huff, fondness crinkling his eyes and softening his brow. “Sunshine,” Wilbur murmurs quietly, thumb brushing along Tommy’s forehead, soothing the small wrinkles building there. “My sunshine.”

Tommy mumbles incoherently, nudging his cheek further into Wilbur’s sweater in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. “...’hush, Wil,” he murmurs, pretending there isn’t a soft, pink flush slowly warming his face. “‘M trying to sleep.”

Wilbur chuckles, warm and rich and loving. The arm still wrapped around Tommy’s waist tightens for a moment, Wilbur’s other hand cupping the boy’s jaw and holding it there, an endeared smile lifting the man’s lips when Tommy leans into it fully. “Sweet boy,” he whispers, unable to help himself. Tommy groans into his chest, a shy grin lifting his lips as he lightly bats at Wilbur’s arm. 

“Stoooop,” he grumbles light-heartedly, “soft motherfucker.”

Wilbur coos, hand still cradling Tommy’s face easing it to lift up towards him. ”Awww, you’re blushing, Toms,” quietly murmurs Wilbur, heart melted to goo at Tommy’s red face and flustered smile. “It’s really cute bubs, very endearing- wha- hey. Hey, no, you’re not allowed to hide. Let me see you-” A startled, fond laugh mingles in Wilbur’s words as Tommy wrenches his face from Wilbur’s gentle grasp and shoves it into his sweater, ears burning brightly. 

“Tommyyyy~” Wilbur coos, giggles blending into the fond murmur. “Stop hiding sweetheart, let me see your smile.”

“Get fucked.” Tommy’s flustered grumble rises into the air, laced with enjoyment and thinly veiled shyness. “Actually die. Bastard.”

Wilbur pouts, despite Tommy not being able to see it. “But Toms,” he says, - he does not whine, not at all - “This is my Tommy Time, T.T if you will, I had to wait weeks for this.”

“And you’ve got me, now shut up, you’re annoying.”

“You wound me brother.”

“Good. Perish.”

“Hey-”

Tommy takes a fistful of Wilbur’s jumper, burrowing impossibly closer into his chest and lets out a long breath, his smile unable to be hidden even if he tries. Wilbur's antics were amusing no matter how tired he was. “You’re such a dramatic piece of shit. Why are you like this?”

Wilbur scoffs, but it sounds unbearably fond. His hands are gently sliding underneath Tommy’s jaw to cup his face once more, thumbs brushing over his cheeks, temples, and brow and melting the boy into goo. Wilbur presses a kiss to the crown of Tommy’s hair, then gently knocks the bridge of nose into his forehead. With a voice like velvet, he answers Tommy's light-hearted jab. 

“I’ve missed you.” 

The admittance was easy. It was always easy. Though the reaction his soft words bring forth is an adorable surprise. Tommy’s fading flush returns, and he presses his head against Wilbur’s like a cat, having to lean up a fraction to achieve it.

“I’ve missed you too.” The words were just as genuine as his older brother’s, and Tommy meant it with all of his heart. Wilbur makes a content noise, eyes fluttering shut as he basks in the comfortable warmth of his surrogate sibling.

He huffs a soft laugh as a thought crosses his mind. “I’m glad you did. I was afraid Ash would replace me as a big brother while you were in New York.”

“Well, I never said that didn't happen- hEHEhehey!” Tommy is thrown into a fit of breathy giggles as Wilbur’s fingers slip under his jumper in an instant to skitter gently at his bare sides. 

Wilbur grins softly, tickling the boy with a feather-light touch that has him giggling up a storm. “Please, go on Tommy, don’t let me stop you. What were you saying?”

“Yohou're a pehetty bastard-” Tommy presses out, his hand in Wilbur’s jumper tightens as the sensations crawl over his sensitive midsection. "Aehehey-! Alrihight, alrihight! S-Stophit!" 

"Say I'm your older brother and Ash isn't," challenges Wilbur with a mischievous giggle. 

Tommy squirms the best he can in his limited space, weighed down by Wilbur's arms and his own tiredness. "Eheat shihit ahand dihie!" 

He only falls into louder giggles as Wilbur attacks his ribs gently, the touch similar to the feeling of a spider scuttling around. "Say it Tommy, or your ticklish belly is next~" he coos, nails gliding over the grooves and spaces between Tommy's ribs in an unguessable pattern. 

Tommy whines and kicks the arm of the couch as he tries to get a hold of his tumbling giggles, which as you can guess, was not going as planned. “I-Ihihihi- yohohou bihihitch- dohohon’t-”

“Come on, Tommy boy,” repeats Wilbur with a snicker, nimble fingers gently pinching and scritching along his tender ribs in a way that has Tommy writhing and giggling madly. “Come on~ I can do this all day, you know.”

“Wil- WihiHIHIlbuhuhuhur!” Tommy’s voice gave in to a squeal, his body contorting to hide his soft stomach which has now fallen victim to Wilbur’s wiggling nails as promised. His eyes squeeze shut and his laughter jumps higher in octaves as one of his most ticklish spots is being attacked. “Plehehease- Wihihihil ihihit’s sohoho bahahad!”

Wilbur giggles, though he does slow his fingers down to simply tracing around the sensitive skin, a small scratch appearing here or there to keep Tommy on his toes. The boy giggles, high pitched and mirthful, as the attack persists on his stomach. 

"Yohohou're suhuhuch aha dihick," he gasps, grinning up at Wilbur with wet lashes. 

Wilbur hums in agreement, priding himself on his gremlin nature. "I'm not hearing you admit it," he pesters for the hell of it, smirking down at the blonde. 

Tommy lightly smacks his arm, shoulders bouncing with his lingering giggling. "Y-Yohou're- yohou're mihiy fahavorite brother," Tommy gasps out, managing to stick a hand behind him to hold Wilbur's wrist, not pushing him away, just hanging on. "Ash ihis stihill my brohother though, I wohon't say he ihisn't." 

The gentle barrage ceases entirely, per the agreement. Tommy breaths out a grateful sigh, mirth on the edge of his voice as he playfully mutters, "Jesus Christ, you're gonna kill me one of these days with those attacks."

Wilbur didn't respond. 

Tommy lifted his head to look at Wilbur and his eyebrows shot up to his receding hairline. "..Will?" 

Wilbur was staring at Tommy with stars in his eyes, dewy tears clinging to the edges of his lashes. 

Tommy startled into sitting up on his elbows, worriedly taking in Wilbur's shell shocked expression. "Are you okay? What's wro-"

Tommy choked on his words when Wilbur yanked him into his chest once more, hugging him with such ferocity Tommy swore he felt his ribs creak in warning. 

"W-Wil, Wilbur-" 

Wilbur eases up on the tight hug and kisses Tommy's forehead instead, bringing him back under his chin and nuzzling into the soft hair almost as if he was afraid Tommy would disappear if he didn't hang on. "You're my favourite too," he murmurs, "I love you buddy. I love you so much." 

Tommy stares into Wilbur's jumper then burrows the best he can into the soft fabric, heart squeezing in affection. Silence cloaks the room for a while before Tommy's shaking voice breaks it. 

"Asshole."

Wilbur laughs loudly, throwing his head back in his mirth and hugging Tommy close, legs coming up to entangle with the boy's own. Tommy tries to hug him tighter than he already is in turn. 

"I love you too," he grumbles. "You're a prick for making me cry." 

"Almost making you cry," Wilbur corrects, smirking at Tommy who glares back, tear track free. 

"I'll cry at you in spite. Watch me." 

"Consider me terrified," Wilbur concedes lightly, patting Tommy's head. "My worst nightmare; Tommyinnit spite crying at me." 

"You'd better believe it, bitch." 

Wilbur snickers, prodding Tommy's side and getting a sharp yelp. "Settle child." 

"Says the dickhead who keeps poking me, you know my soft spot is my sides." 

"Older bother privileges. Deal with it." 

"Absolutely fucking not-"

Tommy quickly scribbles into Wilbur's upper ribs causing the man to screech loudly and scramble to sit up, wrenching away Tommy's hands the best he could. 

"Tohohommy!"

"Younger brother privileges bitch!" Tommy crows loudly, grinning widely as he takes Wilbur apart. This spot is known to him and a few select others, secretly kept as it breaks the man down faster than side poking. 

True to that statement, Wilbur was in fits of breathy cackles, trying to squirm away while Tommy was entangled with him. 

"StoHOhoop- Tohohommy plehehease-" 

"Nope! Revenge!" 

"Ihihi'll- I'll shohow yohou revehehenge yohou gahangly fuhucker-" 

"Oh, like hell you will." Tommy's fingers dive into Wilbur's hips, squeezing mercilessly and delighting in the scream Wilbur lets out. 

"FUHUCK TOHOM!" 

"Yeah, bitch! Laugh it up!" 

Wilbur's shrieks of laughter bounce through the house, brought on by his little brother intent on revenge. No doubt Tommy would get a taste of his own medicine as soon as Wilbur could find an escape route. Getting away scot free for this kind of treason? Yeah right, not under Wilbur's roof. 

In their defence, they'd missed one another, and they needed to make up for lost time of driving each other mad. 

It's what brothers do after all.

hi, may i req leejeong + 16 n 35 ? pls n ty 🫶🏻

drunk cute l.jh

hi anon! this is a lovely combo will do <3

pairing: drunk!jeonghyeon x gn!reader

genre: fluff

w/c: 850

warnings: mentions of overdrinking, one swear word

a/n: i miss jh so much :/ COME HOME

you were staying in for the night, tired from work while your boyfriend, jeonghyeon, went out with his wakeonez trainees to eat a meal after confirming their debut.

when you heard him say it over call you were more than ecstatic and told him to let loose after the release all of the pressure he faced as a trainee and to enjoy his night out.

you started to rethink that wasn’t the best advice when you saw a sober munjung dragging your very drunk boyfriend to your front doorstep.

“hi y/n, he had a bit much haha,” munjung was panting and sweating in exhaustion by carrying his best friend’s dead weight, “oh my god, i’ll take care of him don’t worry, get home safe with your hyungs okay?”

he simply nods, bows and walks to the direction of his dorm. still catching his breath.

you tell jeonghyeon to take off his shoes so you can bring him in, suddenly, he jolts out of your arms and clings to the walls of the hallway entrance

“no!”

“why, whats wrong babe?”

“only my partner can touch me! not youuuuu!” he drags out, while pointing at you and leaning his face full of disgust.

he looks around the house, in search of someone.

“what did you do to my y/n!? you’re not them, you can’t call me babe”

you smile a little, realising what he’s saying.

he was too drunk to recognise you were his s/o and was being faithful when another person (you) tried to 'flirt' and touch him.

“okay jeonghyeon, i’m sorry, but you’re too drunk. can you take off your shoes for me?”

jeonghyeon looks at you with a pout, a mumbled okay is heard before he flops off his sneakers and attempts to walk into the hallway.

he miserably fails, stumbling because he’s seeing double of everything. thankfully you’re there to catch him and hold his hand to keep him steady.

seeing his own hand intertwined with yours he gasps, “ohh wait until y/n hears about this you’re gonna be in trouble~” he giggles before pausing.

“oh shit~ i’m gonna die too then.”

while he mourns his seemingly soon-to-be death, he’s in your guys’ washroom and sitting on the closed lid toilet.

“you won’t die babe, i am y/n” you pinch his cheek because of his silliness. he grabs your hand on his face.

“oh… that makes sense why you’re so pretty hehe,” he forces open your palm and rubs his face against it, making you soft inside.

“mm thank you babe, but lets clean you up.” you then proceed to wash off his makeup, make him brush his teeth, and get into a fresh pair of pjs.

throughout it all he's really clingy and lovey to you, as you wipe his makeup he hangs his arms around your waist, "mmm you're too sweet y/n., did you know that i realllllllly love you?" you give his lips a quick peck as an acknowledgement.

"i love you too, now lets get you changed"

while he changes, you get a glass of water with some painkillers to help with his hangover you'll have to take care of in the morning.

he comes out and as he's sobered up a bit he slumps himself to the bed and flops face first into his pillow.

you nudge him onto his back "get up, you need to drink this," you say handing him his medicine and water.

jeonghyeon takes the glass with both hands, he looks up at you with his signature puppy eyes. even drunk he knows how to make you the softest person.

"if i do can i have face kisses?" he giggles at his own request.

you chuckle, you've never seen jeonghyeon act so cute. you almost didn't want his drunken state to end, but you knew the hangover would come and be a pain. "of course babe," jeonghyeon shyly takes the pill and drinks it.

after he gulps it down, a closed-mouth smile grows on his face as he patiently waits for his kisses, you lean in close. giving small pecks to his forehead, nose, cheeks, lips and then every other spot on his face lacking attention.

"happy jeonghyeon?" he smiles widely and says a quick mmh of acknowledgement.

"okay, lay down and try to sleep," knowing his drunk patterns, he'll be out in a flash.

"okay~"

when you take his glass from him as he lays down, you try to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"y/n~ come back to bed~" he was groaning, complaining of your soon-to-be absence.

"i'll be quick, i promise" you put down the glass to pat his head before he grabs your arm and pulls you into bed. wrapping his arms around yours so you're stuck facing his sleepy drunk state. you're surprised he's able to maintain his strength while so inebriated.

"mmm no, i like being with you more," you groan but his grip can't let you escape, so you cave in for a while.

"why don't you cuddle teddy while i put the glass away?" you point at the teddy bear you got him for his birthday above your guys' head, leaning on the bedframe, lonely.

"no it's okay, you're my new pillow," you're face grows red, but jeonghyeon can't see it, he's falling asleep with your head in his chest and snuggling closer to you by any means.

Cerise, what a woman. I’d love to give you the image my mind inevitably created for her. I feel like she was one of those teens who carried so much trauma from her childhood, and was so so full of rage and she felt like she was destined for more, she was ashamed of being so desperate for money and luxury while having practically nothing. Leather jackets, cigarettes and small theft. I feel like she was one of those girls that wanted to have a motorbike but decided a car (a good car) would be more useful when she had big money —even though now she has a few cars and a few bikes. I also think she legally may have changed her name to Cerise, just because she wanted to be another person, she wanted to leave behind the girl she was to focus on the woman she is, no particular reason for that name, just because it’s elegant and it means cherry —a delicious fruit with a beautiful color, sexy, pretentious, vain. I also see her as a red head, probably as a part of that change she dyed her hair and got a perfectly made blowout. I don’t really have a reason for this one but maybe she wanted to leave everything behind so she completely changed her physical appearance, maybe some natural plastic surgery, training, to fit that image she had of an elegant woman. I see her wearing elegant outfits even to go to the grocery store to buy some bread and vegetables. Always a good nude (lily rose depp like) or red lipstick combo and a skin care and shower routine that lasts an hour every morning, just because. Lashes, eyebrows and nails always perfectly done. But internally, she still feels like she wants more, she deserves more, she’s ambitious, has little morals and maybe also is very cold and lacks empathy in some situations. She has lived many lives and will live as many as she had to, as a good survivor, that doesn’t mean she isn’t scared, but she will not hesitate to do anything if that ensures her own survival.

Honestly i’d love if you could give me some outfit inspo because i’d love to try and draw her, maybe i could include soap too. What do you think? Was i accurate? Please correct me if you think anything I said was wrong. I adore your writing, what a blessing to be able to read you every time. This story will stay with me, it destroyed the inspo block I’ve had for months. Thank you x.

AHH - this is so amazing, I love it. Some outfit inspo will be under the cut but I totally want to discuss characterization too because I love what you've brought up. And, omg, 100% - absolutely you can try to draw Cerise and Soap, I'm frothing at the mouth for them already.

Okay, characterization first (ultimately it's up to every reader how they characterize her, so don't take anything I say as law by any means, lol, but these are my own thoughts for her)! I agree with most of what you said! Cerise is totally burdened by her childhood and the trauma that follows it; she even explains that with her first encounter with pickpocketing her wrist literally got snapped back in two places.

She was never wealthy - never had money for anything to buy simply for the want to have it. She would see people with everything in the palm of their hand and become incredibly jealous/bitter at the fact that nothing she did would ever make any difference unless it was drastic.

Cerise 100% always keeps up appearances, she never wants to be perceived as anything other than beautiful or desirable, even if, deep down, she's utterly terrified that someone would get to know her on a personal level. She always flirts and talks so big about physical intimacy, but I think that it scares her just as much. Anything that can get a person close to her is like a threat and a danger to the empire she's built.

Ultimately, Cerise is a character who likes being alone because it's all that makes her feel safe, even if she's incredibly lonely. She openly admits she's vain and prideful, but I believe it stems from her own insecurities - she's a total dichotomy and a hypocrite of her own belief system.

She's prideful = she constantly needs herself to become better/do better

She's vain = she hates looking at herself in the mirror but still constantly does it

She's selfish = she openly talks about helping a man's wife when she required medical care

She's such a compelling character to me because she's utterly broken down and traumatized and she doesn't even realize it. She goes on about what she wants and deserves when the only thing she wants is to be loved and cared for like a human being. She's been so used in her life that everything has become a game of get-or-be-got.

Cerise is genuinely one of my favorite named reader-inserts I've ever created - it was so much fun writing her.

Okay, okay, ramble over - onto some inspo!!

I mentioned that Oxblood was her signature color in the fic, so just imagine these in that shade/hue/etc. Disregard skin color as well, this is just about the outfits!

I think these would fit what I had in mind - simple, elegant, but still has some personality to it!

If people envisioned something more out there/eye drawing we have these dresses-

Personally, I very much like the first of the eye-catching dresses, Cerise is a woman who likes a little flare - the sleeves are lovely and I like the corset add-on.

For jewelry, it's very much high-mass, Cerise was mentioned already wearing necklaces, earrings, etc. Many of which had gems, rocks, and fine metals. I'll leave that up to people's personal preference!

But I think that mostly covers Cerise, for Johnny I really just thought up a normal 3-piece suit except for the fact that he barely fit into it, lol.

But thank you so much for sending this in! It was so lovely. If you do end up drawing them, I would love to see it - I'm sure it'll be amazing!!

CFWC Writer of the Month: the-pale-goddess

Each month CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers, and this month’s writer of the month is @the-pale-goddess! We hope you will enjoy learning more about her and her work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.

Quick Links:

Tumblr Blog: the-pale-goddess Blog Masterlist

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I downloaded Choices in an extremely terrifying moment of my life in late 2019. I was seeing the ads everywhere and thought that this game might serve as a fairly decent distraction. Well, I wasn’t wrong skfjksjfk 

I’m not sure which one was actually the first, but it was either the default TRR or Save The Date promoted at that time. 

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

My obsession with Open Heart and Ethan Ramsey tied nicely with the release of the second book in 2020. The lockdown allowed me to explore this fictional world further, so I started looking for more content. I found the legendary Denise, aka @justanotherrookie, while lurking on IG. That’s when my long-forgotten Tumblr account came to my mind, and I logged in with the intention of scrolling through the tags to satisfy my EJR thirst.

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

Oh, dear…It’s very silly! My skin is extremely pale and I have always been obsessed with music; hence the combo. 

Fun fact: this account is quite old (though still not as old as my tumbroke card; I had like three other accounts before this one), and I was slightly embarrassed to enter a new fandom with my dusty aesthetic blog signed by some ominous name, but decided to go with the flow. Then the-pale-goddess has become my brand, and it was too late for any changes–anyone who has changed their URL knows how problematic blogging is afterward.

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

My first fandom post was inspired by the frustrating ending of the softball chapter AND the first hiatus announcement…It didn’t age well. As we all know, Ethan & MC didn’t ‘talk about it.’ What’s more, we had to survive a long OH drought before PB decided to resume the second book. 

Three years later, the very same shitpost is still the most popular Choices post on my silly little blog lol

5- How long have you been writing fanfiction?

3 years, fanfiction is my pandemic baby! Though I’ve been writing since I was a kid, it was mostly poetry and never in English. But as time passed, I got more occupied with my teenage life and eventually lost motivation to write. That old passion resurfaced several years later, at the beginning of the pandemic. Apart from the obvious need for distraction from the COVID situation, I was frustrated that my English skills were getting rusty, so I decided to dive in. 

6- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to write about?

No surprise here: Open Heart (the first book) and Open Heart 😂 I never tried writing about any other Choices book. 

7- Share the first fanfic you wrote with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were writing it today?

Miami Heat aka my smutty Miami AU. The concept is brilliant, but the execution…Yikes! I often think of rewriting the entire thing because the writing is amateur at best and my inner perfectionist cringes whenever I think of this mini-series.  

8- What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

It all depends on my mood, so here’s a list of my favorites!

9- Do you have a fic that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to be but found could use a little more love?

Cabin Fever - apparently this 69 plotless smut is iconic for some reason? I don’t really get the hype. It has an insane amount of kudos on ao3, my other fics can’t compare lol 

Burnt - Book 1 mutual pining E&T classic and one of my absolute favorites (we’re talking top 3); it could definitely use a little more love!

10- If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

I’ll shock you all and say that I wish I could write fluff for the rest of my life kjgkdgjkdf But since I suck at it, I’d love to be stuck with angst and a dash of smut. 

It’s probably a sad thing to admit, but I feel the most comfortable while writing angst. The realism of pain and the emotions that follow are simply very familiar, and it’s easy for me to conjure up a creative image to match the idea. Besides, there’s so much to explore in the angsty realm: all the flavor, nuance, layers, and symbolism. The possibilities are endless!

Smut doesn’t need an explanation, does it? I live on the thirst street 🤡

11- Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

I do. That’s probably why Open Heart got me sucked right in–OH MC felt very real and relatable, I couldn’t help but see bits of myself in her. Though we share many traits and experiences, Tiffany definitely isn’t an extension of me. I poured my heart and soul into this woman, but she has become her own person and I try to avoid self-projecting into her character unless there’s a clear purpose. 

12- What element of writing do you struggle with most?

Recently, I have been struggling with writing in general lol The internet is ruthless!

My biggest issue is that self-loathing perfectionist who doesn’t let me enjoy the process, nothing seems to be good enough for her, and that attitude dims my motivation and hinders creativity.

On a more technical note, I absolutely suck at describing basic movement. I could churn out a long essay on a character’s internal struggle explaining the most complex emotions or a 4K elaborate smut, but when it comes to finding the right words to portray the simplest action, like walking down the stairs or setting the scene for an early morning conversation at the hospital, I feel lost kdhdkhdkdb 

13- Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Pretty much all of my WIPs are neglected 🤡 But here are the most important projects I’m hoping to finish at some point in the not-too-distant future: 

Home With You AU

Past, Present, Future

My Way Home Is Through You

14- If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first? 

Since fanfic is based on an existing work of fiction, and the core plotlines and characters should be well-known to the readers, I guess it could be a tedious and confusing read for someone who isn’t involved in the fandom. But then I have received comments from people unfamiliar with OH who have stumbled upon my fics and gave them a chance, so maybe I’m wrong lol 

I like to think that I would be okay with sharing my works with someone I know and trust in real life, but let’s be honest: my crippling anxiety would stop me ksjfkjssd However, if I were to pick a fic rec, I’d choose Heaven Upside Down AU because it doesn’t need an extensive OH knowledge. Plus, I’m very proud of this series.

15 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing? 

While I try to keep my writing style unique and simply mine, there are three lovely ladies who had a huge impact on my writing journey:

@writinghereandthere (aka an actual genius and my writing role model) was the direct source of inspiration behind my fanfic revelation. I fell in love with Ethan and Mariana, Ana’s beautiful prose, her wit, unparalleled talent, and fantastic characterization. Her writing changed the trajectory of my life. Though she left the fandom long ago, her masterlist is a must-read for everyone, trust me! (Ana, if you’re reading this: I miss you more than words can convey. Sorry for the spam I leave in your inbox every now and then skgjksgjk Hope to hear about your original work soon ❤️)

@starrystarrytrouble & @terrm9 - these two literary geniuses have inspired me to follow my own writing path and develop a distinctive style. Their masterpieces offer poetic, raw emotions, encouraging me to allow myself more creative freedom. I’m in constant awe of their unmatched talent and come back to their works whenever I want to feel things ❤️

16- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

Can I have all of them, please? 

I would pay all my money to watch a TV series based on my canon OH plotline…I’m not kidding, I even made a bunch of Netflix edits because I need it in my life. On the other hand, my precious AUs would look amazing on the big screen! The most scrumptious one still hasn’t left my head though, so you have to trust me–the cinematic potential is truly there kdgjkdgjk 17- Do you write original fiction? 

I have a few ideas, but they’re so complex I’m stuck on the outlining phase. Mayhaps one day?

18 -  What other hobbies do you have?

I’m a certified music freak and a cinephile. I practice destroying male egos on a daily basis. I love photography, niche sports, playing with my dog, lifting people’s moods, random unhinged facts, and ignoring reality, and I have just entered my skincare expert era. 

19 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

🥰 + ✨ + 💀 

These three emojis perfectly encapsulate who I am as a person, I think: full of love and magic, but also dead inside ksjgksjgks 

20: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to)

I’d like to thank our lovely admins for giving me this exciting opportunity to ramble about my tiny corner on this hellsite and showcase my word vomit. My heart is full of gratitude! I may not be as active as I used to be, and real life doesn’t allow me to change that, but our fandom will always have a special place in my heart, and I feel very lucky to be a part of this community. Thank you for still putting up with me and supporting my fictional world ❤️❤️❤️

Kinktober Day 9

ok this was a fun one to do

Prompt: hair pulling

Pairing: Nancy Wheeler x Robin Buckley

“Talk to me, baby, how are you doing?”

Robin’s face is buried in the pillows, fingers curled in the bedsheets. Nancy hadn’t heard anything from her in at least ten minutes, which should be fine, but this is new, and Robin’s new to this, she needs to be sure.

“I’m good,” comes the muffled reply, Robin’s hand relaxing on the bedsheets enough to give her a thumbs up. “Still good.”

Nancy sighed, relaxing her grip on the other girl’s hip slightly. She tapped her fingers on Robin’s shoulder, smiling when she squirmed under her, a low whine coming from her.

“Nance, come on,” she said, twisting her head to look back at her. 

Nancy’s hand had stilled in between her legs when she had asked, was still not moving, Robin’s hips moving to try and get some friction. She crooked the two fingers inside Robin, and the taller girl moaned. 

“Oh fuck, Nance, just like that-“ she was babbling, and Nancy knew that meant she was doing something right, when Robin was feeling so good that she forgot to filter herself. 

“Yeah, I know, Robbie,” she said, kissing the other girl’s shoulder. “I love making you feel good, sweetheart.”

Robin moaned again, head jerking back when Nancy’s fingers brushed over her sweet spot. 

Something about that movement made Nancy angry, and she grabbed a handful of Robin’s hair, pushed her back down into the bed.

The moan that came out of Robin when she pulled made both of them still.

Nancy stopped once she felt Robin freeze, hands jerking back and rolling Robin over.

“Robin, oh my god, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what came over me, I-“

“Nance, Nancy!” Robin said, waving her hands to try and calm the shorter girl down. “Nancy, you’re fine, I’m fine, you didn’t do anything wrong!”

Nancy took a few harsh breaths in, staring at Robin nervously. 

“I’m fine, ok?” She said, and Nancy shook her head.

“You froze,” she said. “I hurt you. Or scared you.”

Robin went red at that. “Oh,” she said, staring down at the bed.

Nancy slumped, and made to get off the bed. “Yeah, oh,” she said. “I’m sorry, I’ll just-“

“Nancy!” Robin stopped her, hands wrapped around Nancy’s wrists. “You didnt scare or hurt me, I liked it.”

The confession had both of them blushing redder than tomatoes, Nancy’s jaw going slack.

“Oh, you uh, liked it?” She stammered, staring at Robin like she was something new.

Robin’s smile was so warm and caring it made her heart ache. “Yeah, Nance,” she said, in that wonderfully raspy voice of hers. “I liked it.”

She guided one of Nancy’s hands up to her short bob, nodding when Nancy looked in her eyes. Her fingers played with Robin’s hair before they dug in and pulled.

Robin gasped, neck falling back to expose her throat. Nancy watched this happen with rapt fascination, eyes tracing the line of Robin’s throat, until she had to kiss her, lips mapping every inch of her skin.

Robin’s hand grabbed hers, yanking it down in between her legs, and Nancy smirked, stopping her hand just inches away from where Robin wanted it.

“Nancy!” She whined out, glaring at the shorter girl. Nancy pulled her hair again, a sharp yank that had Robin going practically boneless, hands shooting to Nancy’s hips to hold herself up. Nancy moved so that her leg was in between Robin’s thighs, pressing right where she was wet and wanting. The answering gasp from Robin had Nancy smiling, yanking her hair again, causing her hips to buck against Nancy’s leg.

“Oh god, Nance, please dont stop,” Robin groaned out, hips rocking back and forth on their own now.

The hand not in Robin’s hair moved to her chest, finding a nipple and rolling it in between her fingers.

Robin’s hips stuttered against Nancy, the combo of Nancy’s hand in her hair, Nancy’s leg in between her thighs, Nancy’s fingers on her nipple, it was all too much.

Her vision whited out, a broken moan leaving her throat, and Nancy kissed up and down the column of her neck, shoulders, finally settling on her lips as she lowered the other girl down, making sure to be gentle. Robin’s orgasm had been incredibly sudden, and now the taller girl was twitching from the aftershocks, a dopey, well-fucked smile on her face.

Nancy smiled and kissed her cheek, going to get a towel to clean them up.

BnHA Ch.355 - Review, parallels & comparisons

I didn’t love this chapter as a whole, but I still think there’s some good stuff worth noting. First, Jiro! She’s clearly not prepared for the unholy monster that is AFO. (And, to be slightly fair, AFO is using some new quirks we haven’t seen before, like whatever turns his arm into a semi-sentient demigorgon that bites his opponents.) Plus she’s flying on a classmate’s back. It would be abnormal if she wasn’t terrified.

Throughout the manga, Jiro has never been treated as one of the “strong ones.” She’s got tons of attitude, but she’s not angry or confrontational. Personality-wise, she seems best-suited for reconnaissance not battle. E.g., she’s the only character in the last arc that asked after All Might. (In the School Festival arc, it’s Bakugo who prompts her to stop giving a shit about what other people think.) But her quirk works well against AFO because she can really mess up his infrared/radio wave sensing, so Jiro HAS to step into the battle role. She finds a truly critical mission put on her plate before she’s ready, much like Kaminari in the war. And, like Kaminari, she rose to the occasion — that panel of her screaming at AFO sure did look like her triumphant solo moment in the school festival.

Other than her quirk, battling AFO is a HUGE leap for Jiro. Remember, she was taken out by Mirio in 1 second, and she felt weak compared to Bakugo on the bus to USJ……..

She got super nervous before the provisional licensing exam. Her big arc centered around her singing and bringing people together (which she was initially too shy to do), not on her quirk or heroic skills. But together with Tokoyami and Hawks, she’s able to fly and land a critical hit on AFO.

As for the Twitter feud over “feminism”, I just don’t see anything wrong with how Jiro is portrayed. In this chapter, Jiro is being treated with respect by everyone around her and the narrative is giving her a chance to be a critical battle hero. Now, if ONLY the female characters get hurt in this final arc, or HK overly focuses on female characters getting mauled, then perhaps there’s something to dig into. But Jiro losing one of her earphone jacks and then overcoming her fears and pain to land a badass combo hit on AFO? I am fine with this.

I feel like I should talk about Endeavor and Hawks, but meh. What stands out to me is how Enji pictures his sons in his head. He sees Shoto as a surly, angry kid glaring up at him. Meanwhile, Toya is manic with wide eyes and an enormous grin, looking down on Enji from above. This is how his sons look at him. This is what he sees. And yeah, it’s what he deserves.

Moving to AFO, you can laugh at AFO’s “fowl” pun all you want — it hides that his battle strategy is wrong, wrong, WRONG. He assumed the heroes would stall him until Endeavor was back in the fight. He assumed the heroes would leave the heavy hits for the Number One. But when Endeavor got hurt, it was a combo of the #2 and two students (one who placed at the Sports Festival, but the other largely unknown) that cracked his helmet. Hell, even AFO’s pun references a DUO, but there’s THREE heroes who are involved. And AFO also assumes the “children” just so happened to be paired with the “big shots,” as if Tokoyami and Jiro werent chosen strategically. As if Hawks’s wings can’t pick up on sound vibrations. That’s how little attention AFO pays to the “extras.”

Look at the laundry list of what AFO says — motives, words, deeds, abilities, (quirk) power. What did he leave out? Willpower. Hatred. Feelings. Emotion. That’s why Jiro’s rallying cry has to be “you made my friends cry,” and that’s why a closeup of her anguished face is right next to Hawks moving into the stream of her Legato move for the final slash. (It would make more sense, generally, for her to draw inspiration from Momo, Kaminari, or even Bakugo rather than Izuku and Aoyama, but in the context of a true hero selflessly “raging for the sake of others” I do see why it has to be those two.)

The vestige part is interesting. AFO has a big smile as he says, “Their very wills…they were spurred on by this?” AFO sure wasn’t smiling when New Order revolted. He was grimacing, cursing, and screaming. I don’t know what he just realized, but I’m guessing it’s not good for the heroes if he’s grinning. There HAS to be more to AFO right now than just “he knows he’s won even if this body dies”. Like we all knew that at the outset of this fight — AFO original recipe is still very dangerous, so the heroes have to separate him from Tomura and kill him, but that diverts resources from Tomura, so AFO’s got the heroes outwitted no matter what happens to this body. But also, AFO doesn’t take chances unless he HAS to, so he won’t let his original body die just to fully “vest” in Tomura. He’s gonna hang on as long as he can and take down as many heroes as possible, right??? And surely he’s got some sneaky game-clearing moves nobody’s ever seen, yeah???

Also I bought myself the first trade of Young Justice (2019), going in with the understanding that it’s considered uneven.

It’s beautiful! I am in love with the art! Mostly I want to stare at all the hug pictures because let’s be real, everyone is mostly here for the hug pictures.

Also I’m now grappling with my own concerns over the combo of “the art just LOVES Bart. It’s stunning. He’s so prominently centred” with Bart outright saying that he is Conner’s third best friend. Bart!!! Stop devaluing yourself like this!

Also CONNER gets to be the first of their group to raise a baby? Interesting pick. Well, unless we’re letting Tim claim pseudo-parenthood over Baby Brown due to his pregnancy support. Tragic that we will clearly never see baby Martha again. (Justice for the tiny Young Justice team of missing children we can campaign for in a further 15 years after a few more babies appear and get removed from continuity!)

(The repeated ‘do you know where babies come from’ made me laugh given the running fandom joke over whether TIM knew where babies came from back when Steph was pregnant)

The AWKWARD of a team up book though that is desperately balancing “reunion of the Core Four after multiple timeline shenanigans” with adding three additional characters to the line up, two of which are essentially brand new creations for the team. Like nobody is coming to this book excited that the Core Four now have a (baby) Green Lantern on their team.

Also why are you adding an 11 year old Green Lantern to a book that is clearly desperately trying to tell the story of the Now Definitely All Over Eighteen Core Four Grappling With Leaving Childhood Behind, look at our in-page references to Cassie being in college, Conner being married and raising a kid, Tim still working for the Wayne Foundation and saying he’s ‘going to college’ and Bart…well Bart being Bart. This is the “entering adulthood” book not the “we acquired a new team baby sibling” book.

Other stuff that is already living rent free in my brain:

Tim saying “Wait, something happened - something is different. I feel different” and Cassie adding “I do too” right as Conner lands and is now within TTK distance of them. (Conner did your power literally go “hey there’s my best friends” and check them over as soon as it could? That’s adorable. Soz Keli, Jinny and Amy)

Conner and Cassie trash talking each other as Conner calls Jinny his “new favourite” (that’s a lie we all know this is just to integrate a new character). Good thing Cassie is in no way taking this seriously.

Hilarious watching a baddie try out Kryptonite on Conner as if the Core Four don’t have long established strategies for dealing with that. Oh no. Kryptonite. Conner’s well known weakness on a team that contains a Wonder and a speedster. Cassie can still punch you as hard while Bart gets it out of range.

Finally this is super petty but: the art of Greta’s costume is WRONG damnit she has that half black right leg, justice for the two tone look.

[pomegranatecraft]

also if you dont mind me asking what all mods are you using for your genetic animals world? or is it just genetic animals?

I don't mind at all!

so, of course, I have genetic animals. and then I also have buzzier bees because genetic animals has a moobloom variant! you do have to turn on moobloom spawning in the genetic animals config file once you download buzzier bees, but it's worth it because the mooblooms are really cool (I spawned these in via spawn egg, I believe they spawn naturally in flower forests):

I also have star worm equestrian mod, both because I am, unfortunately, a horse person irl, and also because the SWEM horses are BEASTS. they can cover ground AND they can swim. SWEM also adds some really nice little features, too. I’m personally a big fan of the pasture fences, because with the fence tool you can cut them in half, giving you half or one-and-a-half block tall fences.

as a note, SWEM horses do not spawn in the wild. the old vanilla model still does - you have to turn them into a SWEM horse with a cantazarite potion.

if you really like/prefer the vanilla minecraft horses, then I recommend realistic horse genetics, instead. I played with this one quite a bit, and I do love it still! like genetic animals, it adds realistic coat colors and a genetics system to the vanilla horses.

I also have terraforged, a terrain generation mod. all I can say for this one is to play with the generation settings to your hearts content. I’m a big fan of lowering the mountains and upping the amount of rivers, myself, as that combo tends to give big swathes of flat land for building. in my world right now I have the loveliest river, as well as mega taiga bordering a plains biome. flat land for days!

I also have pam’s harvestcraft 2. all four (?) packs to add all the fruit trees and vegetables etc. the link I added has all the links for the other three packs.

and then frikinzi’s fauna. I’ll be real, though - I turned off all the spawns for birds. they’re very cool and there’s a lot of variety, don’t get me wrong! it’s just that the bird sounds repeat very often and I have misophonia so that ended up as a no for me. I do, however, love all the aquatic animals it adds! I have koi in my well, haha.

other than that, I also have a few little ones like bad mobs (because I’m scared of nighttime in real life and don’t really want to be scared of it in minecraft lol and also peaceful hunger is not updated to 1.16.5), mob catcher, nature’s compass, sophisticated backpacks, and xaero’s minimpap!

modded minecraft is fun because you can tailor everything to exactly what you want. play around with everything, download what interests you! it’s amazing how unique you can make your own experience, which is why I love modded minecraft so much.

Three Instances: Type-Twist Runners-Up ~

Our runners-up this week are @bread-into-toast​, @hypexion​, and @izzet-always-r-versus-u​!

EDIT: And we have a secret fourth runner-up, @yd12k​!

@bread-into-toast — Compleat Victory

So I know I said that we were designing for standard legality, but this card... Well, to me it feels like one of those cards that you’d find in a set booster as a commander-precon random addition. That’s not a bad thing! It’s merely...a thing? It’s a little perplexing. This card’s decent, though, and the more I think about it, the more I accept that replication is an interesting aspect of Phyrexian design. Your choice of art was also totally reasonable and makes that victorious stance all the more victorious, which is a good touch!

What I really like is the target “player” here, where you can target yourself to proliferate if you’re in the control-oriented side of things, which is kinda hilarious if you can make it work. See, I’m just playing off the high of killing a death-proliferate creature to poison someone last night in limited, so I’m loving the resources and w/e, but yeah. Victory is indeed Compleat. I would like to have seen something maybe a little outside the box a bit more in terms of art-to-subject separation, but that’s why we have the Runners-Up: a showcase of “hey, really good work here.”

~

@hypexion​ — Burning Ritualist

Seeing the in-person art for this, where the artist showed off a photograph of their unique style, I really love this Faithless Looting, not gonna lie. Also not gonna lie, this was a painfully close contender, and I love what you’ve done here. Honestly, I don’t think there’s much room for improvement! Perhaps there are other angles, like a rare card that made it so that the next spell doubled, playing into the creative side, but that’s all “oh just add more stuff” to an already great spell.

It’s almost a shame that this has practically no limited potential, or at least it’s one where I’m iffy on how strong it can actually be. Except... Well, T1, land, T2, “channel” Magma Opus, T3, Ritualist, Storm off. Or, Boom // Bust with artifact lands? Rough // Tumble is fun too. Wow, there are a lot of fun ways to make this work, actually. I think that in limited, getting a little more value in a UR build would be fun. Also, the flavor text is pretty fantasy-heavy-handed, and I actually like that. Very cultlike, very much the mystical side of red.

~

@izzet-always-r-versus-u​ — Raksasha’s Scheme

So I saw this card in the inbox and literally said out loud, alone in bed, “What the hell is wrong with you?” I love this card so much. Its abusability is totally stumping me as to the actual usefulness of it all, but just as a card, yeah, no, it’s...so weird. What would this look like in a draft? Getting a good creature is good, but what do you get? No idea. Great for the late-game if you have a bomb. Great for the early game, maybe, if you can abuse it. Disgusting in commander.

I feel that this is one of those cards where the mechanics would have come before the art and that wouldn’t have surprised me. Like, an R&D meeting where they were like, “hey, here’s a card, how do we flavor this?” It’s a distinctly terrifying concept but plays into all the best questions of how good a card is. Absolutely stellar weirdness on display here. You know, I would play this in my Elves just to get creature combo pieces, even if I don’t play the exact creature combos, y’know. Dorks are good, lords are good. Bouncing sounds like a plan, right? An Abzan deck with Ephemerate in modern, turn three, case this, blink an Omniscience... Oh. Maybe this card’s busted after all. Neeeevermind. (I still love it.)

~

@yd12k​ — Virulent Pack

Wow, okay, you come into MY werewolf fantasy and give MY werewolves TOXIC, and you expect me to just say “Cool concept, let’s look at cards” as if they’re not infected?? ... Well you’d be right. This card’s nasty. I think you’re going down the AU here with some really nasty ideas but I don’t hate them. The expository flavor text works as a kind of story spotlight and is actually worded oddly well? The explanation of “so what happens next?” is explained on the card without the flavor text telling you that these specific werewolves became infected. Like, that’s really darn good. The change of art to incorporate a new plane is great context, actually, and I think this card’s...

If you’re reading this, then I’m happy (and feeling a little sheepish) to say that I’ve looked with a fresh set of eyes as this bomb of a card. It’s evasive without being overbearing, it has modern limitations that feel splashable and reasonable, it invites brewing and building, and it suggests a lot about the world. Toxic attacks in the Innistrad countryside feel awesome even though it makes me kind of sad, and you did a fantastic job conveying exactly what you needed to. So, instead of making this a judge pick, I actually want to elevate you to a runner-up position. I should have taken a longer look at the cards, even in my limited time. Maybe those are lessons for another day—but on Innistrad, what even is day anymore? Congrats again.

Commentary following. Be well! @abelzumi​

[writer-komaru]

Okay guy Umm….

You know that celebration I’ve been working on?

Welll…. It’s sadly not going to get done anytime soon. I’ve been working on it for hours at a time for many weeks, but I’m still not even half way though. And I know I’m nearing 100 followers… so I want to have a different kind of celebration to do when that milestone happens!

So um…. Any ideas of what you guys would like me to do? Q&A? DTIYS? A different writing related event? Maybe a combo? Whatever you guys want! Please, please feel free to respond in my ask me anything tab! Please… I’m kinda desperate heheh-

Please ;-;

And btw! Here is a sneak peak at my celebration I’ve been working on!~

.

…

……

❀ Soda ❀ ~

❀ fav thing about you

Well, it might seem a little too obvious, but his favorite thing about you is your…

Heheheheh~ You thought I was going to say body, didn’t you? Haha! Well, kinda. Of course, don’t get me wrong, he is absolutely in love with everything about your body. In fact, he practically worships it every single day! But, his favorite thing would have to be your Personality. The way you act around him and others has him smiling so fucking hard, it makes him look like even more of a dork.

❀ a way they are adorable

Like I said, this dude is the epitome of puppy love. He will look at you whenever you aren’t paying attention to him with sparkling eyes and a wide, goofy grin. He will easily get distracted by you. He is crazy for you. Sometimes, if he is distracted by you too much, he will literally fall over/ run into something because he is too busy staring at you <3

❀ fav way to spend time w/ u

Dates dates datessss!! He wants to treat you the way you deserve to be treated by allowing you to order anything you want at a cafe and paying the bill, or complimenting you while going on a walk, or even letting you borrow his whole entire jumper if it rains.

❀ way of showing affection

Quality time spent with you is his fav, but he will show affection to you in all types of ways! He will give you cheesy presents like a bouquet of roses, or do the dishes (not very well, mind you) for you, or just wrap you in his arms while you both watch a scary movie.

❀ Nicknames

Princess, Baby, babe, maybe darling if he is feeling romantic, but generally he is pretty basic. He just doesn’t have much experience with relationships, he can’t help it.

❀ How do they cuddle?

Nervously. Very, very nervously. Kinda like how Shuichi would cuddle. They are very sweet and filled with his passionate love for you, but he's just so incredibly nervous, man. Tell him you dont bite or something to get him to laugh and after a while he will definitely soften up. (I bet he had a breakdown the first time you tried lol-)

❀ Scenario

Here you are, sitting next to your boyfriend while on the couch, resting after a long day at school. You looked over at him to find his eyes staring intently at you. He immediately flushed and panicked.

“Ah! I-Im sorry, princess! I didn't mean to be a creep or something!”

“What? You're not a creep. Not to me, at least.”

“Aw, thank you- Hey! What’s that supposed to mean- huh?”

As you spoke your last sentence, you situated yourself square on his lap, legs folded up against his chest, your face buried against his neck. To say he ascended would be an understatement. But instead of his eyes lighting up with panic, they lit up with pure joy. He giggled like a school girl and hugged his arms around you tightly.

“Mmmm, You’re so adorable and cute!!! Let me hold you even tighter!!”

[peonierose]

That sounds like Pizza to me

Book: Open Heart

Characters involved: Luna Auclair (F!OC), Keiki Lahela, Bryce Lahela, Maxine Moore (F!OC), Skyler Auclair (M!OC), Evie Auclair (F!OC), Soraya Auclair (F!OC)

Rating: Fluff

Words: 2,000+

Summary: Luna and her cousins have their pizza night where the debate comes up pineapple on pizza or not.

Author‘s note: All characters belong to PB. I only own my OC‘s. (As a side note this was inspired my ask about your MC / OC favorite dish / favorite snacks.)

”Coming in hot,“ I hear Sky say loudly from the kitchen where Evie, Soraya, Keiki and I are assembling another pizza to be put into the oven.

We have our monthly pizza night. With wine, pizza and talks about everything.

It’s the one night we all have off and just try and relax.

Unfortunately Bryce had to pull a double shift, so he’ll be home later. Not to worry though we’ll put some pizza aside for him.

Evie is rolling out the dough while Keiki and Sor are preparing all the ingredients to be put on the pizza.

Sky gets a pizza out of the oven while he wears the apron ”Kiss the chef“ I got Bryce a while ago.

He slides the oven mitts off and takes a sip of his red wine.

”Are you guys seriously putting fruit on a pizza?“ he looks at the toppings with disgust.

Sor and Keiki look up.

”Sure we are dear brother,“ Sor says and offers him a pineapple piece.

I shudder. I love pizza but pineapple? Seems wrong to put that on pizza. Give me anything - except spicy - on a pizza and I’ll eat it.

But pineapple? Gross.

I drink from my glass filled with ginger ale, since my morning sickness is still an on-going show and I’m the main attraction.

”Pizza Hawaii has no right to be called pizza,“ I say between sips.

Everyone turns their heads in my direction, and I feel like a deer in headlights.

I shrug

Both Evie and Soraya stop what their doing

”Seriously?“ They ask in unison

”What? It’s true. It’s a weird combo that’s what it is,“ I say

Sky walks around the kitchen island and puts an arm around my shoulder.

”See my cousin has good taste,“ he says while grinning.

Evie rolls her eyes and Soraya just shakes her head at her brother.

”She’s our cousin too,“ says Evie

”Yeah but she’s got better taste than you, which makes her part of Team Sky,“ Sky retorts.

I eye him sideways

”Still working on the name,“ he admits.

”You should come up with a better one, because that was lame,” Keiki replies and takes a bite from the still hot pizza.

I laugh at that and break away at the awkwardness. I also didn’t want to cause a fight. Not over pizza anyway.

Pizza is sacred.

Everyone joins the laugh fest and we all continue to roll out dough and assemble pizzas.

———————————————————

Later when we’re sitting down at the table in the dining room we all breathe in the pizzas we made. We could’ve ordered in, but there’s something special about making pizza yourself. Sharing the time with family, while cooking together and making jokes. It’s relaxing and fulfilling at the same time. In short it’s just more fun.

I put down my piece when my phone vibrates on the table. I wipe my hands on a napkin and look down.

I frown as I start reading

It’s a text from Maxi

I put my phone down, trying to understand what went wrong.

Soraya‘s voice stirrs me out of my thoughts.

”Is something wrong?“ she asks her blue eyes worried.

I shake my head not sure

”I don’t know. Maxi just texted and asked if she can come by later,“ I sigh

”Was her date with Adam bad? Is that what happened?“ he asks leaning back in his chair

I shrug

”I honestly don’t know. But I wouldn’t know why it went wrong,“ I say loudly

”Was it because you went on a date with him?“ Evie asks

I shrug

”I don’t think so. It was a long time ago. He wouldn’t have gone out with Maxi, if he still had feelings for someone else. He’s not that type of guy,“ I say

The others shrug

I lean over to take another piece and see Soraya glued to her phone. She smiles while she types.

I nod to Sky and point with my eyes to Soraya. He nods in return getting the hint.

”Sor? Do you think Meilani would like a piece?“ he asks

Soraya looks up confused

”A piece of what?“ she asks

Sky and both say at the same time

”A piece of you,“ we smile and wriggle our eyebrows.

Soraya blushes deeply.

Evie grins like the chashire cat.

”Wanna share with the class?“ she asks leaning her elbows on the table.

”We’ve been texting a little. Since she couldn’t make it to family dinner. So Lunes gave me her number. Ever since we’ve been texting. You know getting to know each other,“ she says vaguely.

”Have you guys gone out on a date?“ Keiki asks from next to me.

She shakes her head

”No we haven’t. However, I did invite her to our next pizza night,“ she admits unsure if we’ll have anything against it.

We all grin.

”How about Seilani? Or Moraya?“ Sky asks

Soraya takes her napkin and throws it at him. Evie and Keiki just grin at their shenanigans.

It lands on his face and he just doubles over in laughter.

I smile at Sor

”I think both sound great and knowing Meilani she’ll like both of them,“ I say.

Sky zeroes his gaze in on me.

”Do you and Bryce have a couples name?“ Sky asks

I look with horror at him and shake my head.

He snaps his fingers

”How about Bruna? Or Lyce?“

I keep shaking my head at him.

”Please don’t. Both sound awful,” I say between bites.

Everyone laughs at my discomfort.

We continue to eat and laugh. Sharing stories. Laughing. Teasing each other like only family can do.

My cousins help me with the dishes and cleaning up the messy kitchen.

We almost get into a water fight, but stop at the last second. Because no one wants to clean that up.

Later Keiki takes her bag and her backpack. She’s going to spend the night at a friends house from college, so Soraya will drive her there.

I give everyone a hug

”Drive safe guys,“ I wave at them.

When everyone left and took home some pizza, I get out and take a seat on one of the comfy chairs on the porch. I took my favorite blanket to cover my body. That’s when I hear a car engine coming closer. At first I think it’s Bryce, but then I see long brown hair and realize it’s Maxi.

She walks slowly up to the house.

She hasn’t noticed me yet and is about to knock when I clear my throat.

She jumps back

”You scared the bee jeezus out of me sugarplum,“ she says putting her hand over her racing heart.

I grin

”Sorry I couldn’t resist,“ I‘m about to get up when she stops me

”No need to get up, I can get myself a piece of pizza and get back outside,“ she says and with those words she disappears inside the house.

Moments later she’s out with a steaming plate full of pizza slices.

She offers me one too. Even though I ate earlier I’m not going to say no to another slice.

I chew on my bite of pizza and when I swallowed I look at her.

”Want to tell me what’s wrong? I feel as if we haven’t talked in a while,“ I say quietly into the silence. The only sound the cicadas and the healing wind from the palm trees.

She looks over at me.

”I know and I want us to do more together. I guess we’ve just both been busy,“ she says and scoots closer to me.

”Is it about Adam?“ I ask tentatively

She nods

”Yeah. You know the worst part?“ she asks me

I shake my head

”He’s really nice. He’s not an asshole. He’s a genuinely nice guy,“ she stops

”So what’s stopping you from going out with him again?“ I ask

She sighs and looks up at the stars as if they hold all the answers

”I feel as if I don’t deserve him,“ she admits quietly

I raise my eyebrows at her

”What? Why? That doesn’t make any sense,“ I say more confused than ever

She toys with the napkin on her plate.

”Ever since my dad died…“ she stops again and I give her a side hug and kiss her forehead in silent comfort

”Ever since dad died, everything turned to shit. I quit college and became a tattoo artist. My mom is disappointed and my brother and I…we stopped talking,“ she says on a loud exhale.

I just keep sitting there to show I’m here and I’m listening.

She goes on

”Caelum said I threw away my chance at a great education, to chase a hobby,“ she says her voice raw and full of emotions.

”I don’t think your mom is disappointed. I think she was trying to grieve in her own way. Maybe she didn’t know how to handle everything. She just lost her husband and had two children to raise,“ I say

Maxi shrugs

”I know it was hard for her. Raising two kids. Taking care of the funeral. Managing her dance studio. The bills that have been piling up,“ she sighs again.

I lean back and say

”Have you tried reaching out to your brother?“ I ask

”I don’t know if I feel ready for it,“ she says

I smile softly

”You’re never ready,“ I say ”How about you just text him? And see where it goes from there?“ I ask

She looks up and nods

”Maybe you’re right. It would be great to have my brother back,“ she says a soft smile playing on her lips.

I smile at her

”Thanks for noticing. As your best friend I’m always right,“ I say grinning

She snorts

”Don’t push your luck babes,“ she says and we stay like this for a while until I realize I haven’t asked her the important question.

I look at her as she sits up and looks at me with squinted eyes

”What?“ she asks slowly

”So? Spill! Is Adam a good kisser?“ I say

She tries to avoid the question, but I keep looking at her

”I wanna know if you locked lips,“ I make kissing noises

She rolls her eyes at me.

”What are you 12?“ She crosses her arms

”Maxi and Adam are sitting on a tree…“ I don’t get to finish because she starts laughing

”Okay okay. Yes we kissed. It was actually pretty good,“ she relents

I wriggle my eyebrows

”Not long and then you’re at second base,“ I smirk

She just shakes her head at me.

We talk until she starts yawning and says she’ll go home. She kisses me on my cheek, gets into her car and drives off.

———————————————————

I stand in the kitchen getting myself some water, when I hear Bryce getting home. Putting his keys in the half crescent shaped bowl I made recently.

He greets me with a hug and a kiss that I don’t want to end.

He laughs

”Looks like someone missed me,“ he says putting his messenger bag on the floor in the kitchen.

I smile walking towards the fridge to get some slices of pizza out to heat them up for him in the microwave.

He hugs me tightly from behind. Putting his hands over my small baby bump. I still can’t believe I’m already showing a little.

I grin and turn slightly to look into his eyes.

”I missed your lips,“ I say

He grins and gives me another kiss.

”I love hearing that,“ he says and we get interrupted by the sound of the microwave, signaling that the pizza is heated up.

He sighs

”Uhh pizza,“ and digs in and then stops

”Ugh. Is this pineapple?“ he swallows and makes a disgusted face.

”That’s why you’re one of my favorite men who doesn’t like pineapple on pizza,“ I say and give him another slice, this one is with pepperoni, onions and jalapeños.

He gives me a look

”One of? That means there’s someone else? Lunes? Hello? Come on. The guy who doesn’t like pineapple on pizza needs to know,“ he says

I just grin and go out into the garden. Bryce takes his slice with him and joins me outside.

”You know you’re my favorite. In case you‘re wondering I’m referring to Sky. We had a small debate about pineapple or no pineapple,“ I say

”What’s the verdict?“ he asks

I sit down on the grass and he joins me

”Three against two. Now it’s three against three. Making it a tie,“ I say pulling out some grass

”Hmm,“ he hums

”What?“ I ask kind of dreading the answer

He smiles at me.

”You‘re my favorite person too,“ he says and together we laugh and play a game of would you rather. Food edition of course.

Talking well into the night. The stars twinkling above us.

I’m gonna miss late Friday night Bridgewater podcast listening when this season is over. Can’t believe we’re already on S2Ep9. 

Spoilers below:

-

Shelley immediately shutting down any convo with Anne, but then being very inviting to Jeremy. I really love that despite them not knowing that they always had a rapport and warmth for each other. 

Also, I really love that Shelley is still very angry, because who wouldn’t be. 

I do think Thomas’ perspective makes sense in saying they’re lucky...but it just can’t go against the emotions. 

“Alright...anyone want to order a pizza” - I love Olivia.

It’s so nice to have a Vipin and Jeremy scene again...especially because they’re both just geeking out about the supernatural and legends/lore and coming to the same conclusions. 

The whole Jersey Devil thing is funny to me because I’m from New Jersey. lol. 

Vipin just casually hanging out with Peyton and getting genuinely important info from her is so fitting. But also I’m so curious about why “she’s needed in the swamp” 

Glad to finally have Shelley and Anne talk. So important for them to clear that air and really talk it all out. 

Shelley just bringing it all out and what not knowing meant for her growing up and how it changed the relationship she had with Anne. 

Also Anne talking about what happened and how she lost Jeremy too. Ouch. 

“Google Playdate” - I really love Olivia. 

Also...what is wrong with Thomas...

Vipin and Jeremy back in the forest. 

Their whole combo about magical rabies. lol. 

Vipin’s reaction to The Legend Tripper is basically me. He’s so immediately wary and suspicious. I love that he definitely picks up on how strange she is. The way he’s like immediately “where did she come from” and why is she just lecturing people on the supernatural while always claiming she’s never had any encounters or gathered real proof. 

Jeremy defending her and insisting she’s been helpful and not at all questioning how she just seems to know everything...or that he doesn’t know her name...

Like why would Peyton be wrong and not complete a rune? 

And then there’s the tattoo thing with the rune she “fixed” which definitely probably had something to do with them getting attacked...hmm. 

So yeah, I’m still not done being suspicious of The Legend Tripper...and we literally still don’t know her name and neither does Jeremy or Vipin...like way to not introduce yourself. Makes me think the reveal of her name will tell us exactly who she is.
