(Oh My God) They Were Roommates

About This Fic:

This is set in 2020, but COVID doesn't exist in this fic (if you want one about being in Lockdown with a driver, check out Irresistible by @dilemmaontwolegs im obsessed with it). For this fic to work, I've massively changed the driver line up and Carlando will never be teammates, but still best friends

🏎

They'd fallen into an easy pattern. It wasn't friendship, not in the slightest, but they were comfortable with each other.

For the few weeks before they were to fly to Bahrain, they found themselves eating dinner together. Or, rather, one eating dinner while they both sat on the sofa and watched television.

Y/N spent less time in her bedroom. She stopped hiding in there, instead sitting out in the living room with Lando. They didn't talk, they didn't have to. It was just nice having another person around.

It wasn't lost on either of them that the other hadn't had anybody back to the flat. She could hear him at night as he took care of himself, and was sure he could hear her when she did the same. But it was still lonely, and taking care of yourself wasn't the same as having somebody do it for you.

They packed for the first race of the season together. They'd flown out for pre season testing together and Zac was thoroughly impressed that they hadn't killed each other on the flight. They were so busy that day that the media hadn't yet seen it, though.

Y/N couldn't wait for the start of the season, to see the internets reaction to hers and Lando's living situation. They were going to lose their minds, she knew. She hadn't yet thought about the bad parts that were to come with it, though.

Flying together meant carpooling as well.

Y/N wheeled her suitcase out into the living room. She sat on the sofa and went through her phone, looking through the itinerary she had been sent over. After five or so minutes, she stood up, readjusted the orange hat on her head (a hard look to pull off) and knocked on Lando's bedroom door.

"Hey numnuts," she called as she leaned against the door. "Hurry up!"

(Numnuts - an insult, meant lovingly in this context)

"I'm coming!" Lando shouted. Y/N pressed her ear to the door, listening as he zipped up his suitcase and came walking towards the door. He pulled it open and she stepped back, allowing him to walk past.

They set off, Y/N driving and Lando choosing the music. (The phrase choosing is used very lightly here. Y/N gave him her phone and told him what music to put on and he put on what he wanted to put on. It was only when she threatened to kick him out of the car, and then pulled over to actually do so, that Lando put on her music).

They didn't talk much on the flight. Y/N had her headphones over her head, watching the world go by as they took off.

***

It was the first race of the season, where they really got to see what the car could do.

Y/N was buzzing as they went into the first Friday practice of the season. So far it had all been media, with the world finally finding out that Y/N and Lando were roommates. The news had gone up on F1 news sites and were on gossip sights only seconds after that.

It was a mixed reception. The one thing that could be agreed on was that every single F1 fan was losing their mind.

Back to Friday practices. Y/N was one of the first out on the track, pushing the car around the circuit. She loved Bahrain, loved pushing the McLaren around the corners, loved overtaking on the straights.

Her goal for the race on Sunday should have been coming first. That should have been her only goal for every race. But, for Y/N, she just wanted to pass Lando. Her wins would come; as long as she was loving what she was doing, she'd be improving race by race. At least that was her mentality.

When her engineer told her too, she came back into the garage to look at the data.

After going back out onto the track, she had dinner and headed back to her hotel room. It was weird, being in the hotel room without Lando there to annoy her.

Even just having him sat on the end of her bed, just being in his presence, would have been nice. She didn't exactly miss him, just missed being around another person. It had been a long few days without him.

Saturday rolled around and Y/N was hopeful for a good qualifying. Q3 at least. With how Friday had gone, that seemed more than possible.

But a problem with the car meant that she had to retire out of Q1. Lando made it to Q2, knocked out of Q3 by Carlos Sainz in his yellow Renault.

A weekend that had started out so promising had Y/N wanting to smash up everything in her hotel room. But she didn't she remained cool and calm, congratulating Lando for getting onto the next round of qualifying.

As much as she was pissed about her qualifying results, starting from the back of the grid was fun. She got to fight her way into the midfield. While Lando was fighting his way to the front of the grid, Y/N was fighting with Pierre Gasly in his Toro Rosso.

Lando finished fifth and Y/N finished tenth, just about in the points. If it wasn't for the fault in her car during qualifying, she would have been proud of the results she got. But she was convinced she could have gotten on the podium if only she had a working car the day before.

Her post race interviews weren't about the racing. They were about her living situation with Lando, and it was really starting to piss her off.

As much as she wanted to head straight back to England, back to their apartment, she had to wait for Lando. Lando, who Max Verstappen wanted to take out partying. Lando, who was more than happy to go with him.

But then Y/N knocked on the door to his hotel room. She had already packed away her things and had changed into something more comfortable. Although Bahrain was hot, she still wore a hoodie and sweats.

Dressed ready to go out to a club with Max, Lando pulled open the door. "Hey," he said, his eyes widening when he saw her. "You okay?"

"Just wanted to see if you were going out or not," She said quietly as she looked down at her shoes.

A pang of guilt went through him. He'd been pretty happy with the first race of the season, having only just missed out on the podium, but he knew she hadn't had the greatest weekend and it was weighing on her.

"You wanna come in while I finish packing my bags?"

With her hands in the pockets of her hoodie, Y/N walked into Lando's hotel room. His bags were half packed and she was entirely sure that he wanted to go out clubbing. "We can go tomorrow," she said as she sat in the oddly plush chair at the vanity, her legs beneath her.

"No no, I'm almost done," he said as he shoved the last of his things into his bag.

She muttered a quiet 'thank you' under her breath as she pulled her hood up over her head.

Lando packed his bag in silence. Once he was done, Y/N went back to her room to get her own bags. And then, with Lando behind her, she walked out of the hotel.

It wasn't that Max Verstappen was trying to be an asshole, but he couldn't stop himself from sending Lando pictures and videos from his night out. Lando couldn't help but hate that he missed it.

But, when he looked at Y/N as she sat on the plane, still wearing a hood but also a small smile as she watched a movie on her phone, he realised it was all worth it.

[sindri42]

I wanna talk about Liara T'soni for a minute.

I know a lot of people, myself included, have sometimes dismissed her over the years as a kind of boring fallback. She's kinda cute, a little annoying, always just sorta there over the course of the series. As a romantic option she's nowhere near as bad as Ashley or Kaiden or Miranda or Jacob, but not nearly as cool as Garrus or Tali or Jack (YMMV on Thane and Samara). Maybe worst of all, the game itself treats her as the "default" since she's always available, never driven away from Shepherd regardless of your choices, and the only squadmate guaranteed to survive all the way to the end.

But recently I've taken a step back, tried to look past the disconcerting bioware body language animations and her mid-tier writing and voice acting and, just looking at the simple facts presented, Liara is one of the most Characters of all time.

When you meet her, Liara is 106, and has spent the past fifty years in Prothean ruins. Asari aren't considered adults until age 100, so in human terms she's a 19-year old who has been devoting every waking moment to archeology since she was ten. During that time she's developed a lot of theories about the Protheans, which have been largely dismissed by the scientific community, leading to her primary motivation at the start of the series being to Show Them, Show Them All! with a particular focus on Those Fools from the University.

The thing is, they had a very good reason to dismiss her "findings" (on top of the whole 'wait a minute this paper was published by a twelve year old' thing): she has absolutely no evidence. If you press her for details in the first game, there's not a single thing she can point to that would support her theories, except for the fact that there's not as much evidence as you would expect for anything else. It's just a feeling she got as a kid and ran with... which happens to be 100% correct. The girl had never even heard of a Reaper before Shepherd told her about the vision, but she was able to predict their entire playbook from raw intuition and a few piles of rubble. That's the archeological equivalent of when Nicola Tesla built a remote control toy boat a decade before anybody else figured out what a radio signal was. That's right: She's a Mad Social Scientist.

Looking at her background some more, yeah she's Pureblood which is weird among modern Asari, but on top of that her parents are both Matriarchs. And Benezia never had any other child in 800-some years, then spent more than a century with Aethyta, then disappeared the moment she realized she was pregnant? Combine that with how Liara has more raw biotic power than most asari ten times her age, and she's almost definitely got the recessive Ardat-Yakshi genes on one side... and she's a quarter krogan on the other.

Circling back around to her relationship with Shepherd, her idea of an ideal pick-up line is "I want to study your brain". She definitely looks at you as an irreplaceable scientific specimen, and I'm not entirely convinced that she doesn't decide to have sex with you just to ensure she can maintain convenient access to the shiny new dig site inside your skull? She probably publishes a new paper on her findings after every time the two of you "embrace eternity".

And when she loses Shepherd, when everybody else is finding various ways to mourn and start to move on... Liara pulls together the Illusive Man and Aria Motherfucking T'loak into a conspiracy to put together a godsdamned resurrection, declaring war on the Collectors and the Shadow Broker in the process almost as an afterthought.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Mar tagged me in this. Thank you Mar <333

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

22

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

358,837

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Owls....for now and the foreseeable future. Other things in the past but....owls. Owls and nothing else.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

There's Sunshine in Your Smile

Atlas and the Avid Reader

A Little Change

An Exercise in Understanding

Girl Talk

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I don't, I'm sorry!! When I first started posting on ao3, I answered every comment I got, but as more came in, I realized I was running out of ways to respond and it felt like I was just copy and pasting "thank you so much omg!!!" again and again and it felt awkward and disingenuous. (I meant it tho!! I did!!)

Also I never have any idea how to respond to long essay type comments that were picking the fic apart and highlighting everything they like about it. I ADORE those comments!!! They make me happier than anything else on earth but HOW can I respond to them?? A one liner thanks feels cheap and meaningless, but a long ramble about my own stuff feels arrogant.

So I just stopped replying to comments altogether. But listen please listen!!! I do read them!!! I read every single one of them and I love and appreciate them with all my heart!!! Thank you so so SO much to anybody who's ever left a comment on anything I've written!!!

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't really write angsty endings. I guess atlas and pages both ended on a bit of a bittersweet note? Maybe.

That one ducktales fic Fearless left off on a kinda angsty cliffhanger, only because I never finished it. So it's technically an ending

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Man I dunno most of them are kinda open ended (or unfinished) I suppose A Little Change ended on a sickeningly sweet note. Like disgustingly sweet (because I was 19 and stupid and had no concept of subtlety) Penniless Promises ended with a marriage proposal.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No the only hate comment I've ever gotten is this one

It kinda annoys me. I consider your first hate comment to be a special milestone in your fanfic writing history. I've been waiting years for this. And then I FINALLY get it but I have no fucking idea what it means.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I've written bits and pieces over the years but I don't post any of it. I think the last "smut" I posted was weird werewolf knotting shit in like 2017

What kind? Fuckin uhhhhh. It's always very fluffy. Usually there's nothing weird going on. Sometimes there's monsters involved but the monsters are usually massive sweethearts who just want love.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes. A few times. And it's always fucking wattpad. At one point, somebody put my fic through Google translate and reposted it in Spanish. I would have been completely unaware if somebody hadn't messaged me about it.

The process of getting them to take it down was a fucking circus. Their ability to use Google translate suddenly vanished the moment I contacted them.

I reported it and had to go back and forth with Wattpad support because the fic was IN SPANISH, so they just kinda glanced at it and were like "This is not the same thing that you wrote. These are different words. Spanish words." I was losing my MIND!!!!!!

They took it down eventually. Anyway...sorry I went on a tangent, I just think this is a funny story. Moral of the story is there are probably several stolen fics on wattpad and run through translators, and we have no idea. There might be more of mine on there but honestly I do not have the energy to be monitoring the stupid site. I hate wattpad so much its unreal.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

As we have just learned from the above story, yes :D!!

But also yeah, some people asked permission to translate my stuff and post it with credit. Sunshine has been translated into Spanish and Ukrainian!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No I can barely manage to write them myself

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Undocumented Events of March 23rd. I might update it at some point in the next five years. But I had so many chapters planned that it will probably never reach the ending at the pace I'm going with it. But I love the jungle book husbands. I get back to them at some point in time

16. What are your writing strengths?

Word disease is the worst fucking thing ever but it CAN be a good thing in some circumstances. A huge meaty chunk of a fic. Something to dig into. Having a lot to say can lead to a lot to write. And the more you write, the more likely you'll get some quality stuff in there.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I repeat. Word disease is the worst fucking thing ever. And when it's coupled with a complexity addiction, UGGH!!! It's a blight on my life. I can't just write a simple straightforward fic, without getting carried away and the ideas just get bigger and bigger. Suddenly I'm implementing more elaborate concepts, scenes that need to be handled delicately. Everything takes absolutely all of my brainpower because I'm a neurotic overthinker who can never just RELAX and write something fun. And I WANT all of it. I want to execute all the plans that exist in my head but then I get overwhelmed by how big and complicated everything has gotten and I get burned out. Which is why things so rarely get done.

I'm a perfectionist. A horrible terrible one. I struggle to write ANYTHING without carefully constructing every individual line of it. Which makes progress so slow and tedious. I get scared to even START fics because I'm afraid I'll make myself feel awful again if they don't turn out good.

My grammar is very imperfect but I'm working on that.

I can be very unnecessarily wordy and take forever to get to the point. I've reread my own stuff and even I have difficulty following it because the sentences just have so many bells and whistles for no good reason. I completely forget a huge chunk of vocab and don't realize they are simpler way to phrase things.

My attempts at executing believable emotional scenes often fall kinda flat. Writing drama is hard but I'm amazed by some people's capability to master it so I'm chipping away at it, hoping to get better.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I don't really have any thoughts at all about them. Literally none.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I'd like to say it was Trolls but it was actually Hetalia when I was like 14. But I do everything within my power to distance myself from Hetalia, so I like to say it doesn't count. But....need to be honest.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Currently, at this point that I am at, the ones I used to be the most proud of now feel like they were a waste of time. I'm sure that will change again in a few months. How I feel about my own stuff is never consistent. The way that this question is phrased implies a forever favourite. Something I loved then, I love now and will love in future, and that is just never the case.

But also I don't wanna be an Eeyore about it, so I'll say a trance, a dance, a romance perchance?

I really do love my fairy Willow. She's so special to me :D!!

Tagging: after writing this whole post, I now feel very weird tagging people specifically and being like "HEY YOU! Look at this post I made <33" This is like a don't look at me post. BUT I do have lots of writer mutuals. And writer followers. If you're one of them and you see this....you!!!! Tag youre it!!!!

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

Well, this account was me desperately grasping for the feeling doing RP used to give me. It started with a desire to write certain characters from Dead By Daylight, but I figured I may as well add every character I've written in the past as well so I could finally have the space to keep them all at least somewhat alive. I could go into more specifics for specific muses, but we'd be here all day.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

To be honest? No. Unless I get stuck writing the same type of plot over and over again I'm pretty much happy to do anything. I'm sure everyone gets the ick from something every now and then, but it tends to be something I stumble into. There are a few ships that I simply won't write if that will suffice as an answer.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

Angst, I guess. I like putting characters in dark places so they can really show you who they are. I actually struggle with characters who are too well-adjusted and happy. My home is in the cracks in their psyche.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

Oh of course. Every single character I've ever thought seriously about has a few. I don't think anyone doesn't, despite some people saying so. There are simply so many gaps in your average story to be filled that we feel compelled to fill them. Canon tells me how a character behaves in their element, and I NEED headcanons to take them out of that element.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

Music, for sure. I have a very large writing playlist that I've compiled over the years filled with music that inspires me without being too distracting. Sometimes I will actually pick music to fit the mood of what I'm writing to keep myself focused. It is basically the only antidote for losing myself in a thought black hole at times.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

It depends. Generally I like to give myself a little outline if I can. Plan out certain beats that I need to hit in a reply. Other times the idea just hits like a wave and I just let it carry me out.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Oh yeah, of course. Its funny because in the context of RP I've actually found myself enjoying really random ships I would have never considered otherwise but I had a great partner and we made it work somehow.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

Irons! Yeah I'm not sure I even remember where it came from or when I started using it, but it is unique enough, and I'm attached to it. Several IRL friends even call me Irons. It is literally nothing like my real name, either.

ᴀɢᴇ?

30. Been writing since I was 9 if you want an idea of how much time its been for me.

ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ?

August 15th!

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?

I tend to be drawn to reds. Go figure, right?

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴏɴɢ(ꜱ)?

Impossible to pick a favorite.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

I think it was When Evil Lurks. Very interesting movie, but don't watch it if you're not down to see some fucked up shit.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

Invincible.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ?

No More What Ifs

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ?

I'm very into sushi. Please try to find a good sushi place near you, I promise you won't regret it.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ?

Autumn. Big Haloween fan, and it means Summer is over.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴜᴍʙʟʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ?

Honestly? No. I don't know what it is, but I feel like I barely talk to anybody here. Its not that I don't want to, I'm just never sure what the best way to engage is. I guess I'm inclined to say topaz (@ruiination/@ochazos) But that barely counts since we know each other outside of the site. Still I wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for them always encouraging me so I'm comfortable naming them as such.

[askgangle]

Gangle sniffled as she opened her bedroom door. She was greeted with a new addition to her room, a red and white CRT computer monitor sitting on her desk, its screen a bright light in the dark room. Gangle blinked as she recalled what Caine had said before disappearing at the end of today’s adventure.

“And you will all find little surprises in your rooms now! Something that’ll let you have fun even when you aren’t on an adventure!”

Huh… Gangle didn’t know what exactly she had been expecting, but it wasn’t this. She walked into her room, the lights turning on automatically as she stepped inside, and made her way over to the desk. She gasped as she recognised what was on the screen, the blue background and ‘t’ logo dredging up a memory from her long forgotten past. Carefully setting down the shards of her comedy mask, Gangle sat at the computer and started filling out the details the site requested for a new blog. 

-

Gangle sat back as she admired the work she’d put into her little blog, she doubted anyone would ever follow it or ask her questions, but she was still proud of what she'd made. Her eyes were drawn to the search bar in the upper corner of the site. Had Caine given them access to the entirety of the site, or just their personal blogs?

Gangle glanced behind herself, making sure her door was closed and there was nobody else in the room, and then she searched for ‘azumanga daioh’. Even though her mask was currently tragedy, a small smile spread across Gangle’s face as fanart from her favorite anime appeared on the screen. This was one of the greatest things Caine had ever given her since she appeared in the circus, maybe even as great as her comedy mask, and Gangle got comfortable in her chair for a long night of internet surfing.

[Rules and Other Important Info to know when sending asks are under the cut!]

[Hello there, I am Mod Vian, and this is my little Gangle askblog! Anytime I am talking OOC it will be within square brackets like this.]

Important Info

-Gangle is not able to physically interact with anybody that sends her asks, however if you wanted to send her a physical item you can, I have a plan for what happens if somebody does.

- I'm open to asks from anyone, including other TADC ask blogs/RPers and even other Gangles!

-I am fine with magic anons, although there’s a good chance things might not work how you expected. I do ask you to keep how long Gangle is affected by magic to only a handful of asks, maybe no more than 10, if you don't give a set amount I will default to 5 asks. I’d rather space out magic anons, so if I get multiple at once I’ll hold on to the extra asks and use them at a later date.

-While I relate to Gangle a lot, I am not a hardcore anime fan. If Gangle is asked about any shows/media that I don't know, I will do a little bit of research to try and answer in character as best as I can.

-I crosspost to AO3, so if you'd like to read my posts in order, head over here!

Rules

-I have a zero tolerance policy for any kind of hate speech in my askbox/messages. If you do send any I will be reporting you, blocking you, and deleting your message.

hi hi! what can you share with someone who's new to your blog?

This is a VERY wide net, but I'll do my best to be thorough yet succinct as possible. -Deep Breath- I am in my 30's and self published my debut book just over two years ago. Arigale: Spite in the Spirit, and the rest of the upcoming series I'm working on, is very dear to me as these characters have followed me since college for the most part. I also have another four projects brewing with some closer to completion than others. The second of the Arigale series and the first Made to Taste book should be out this year after having to have been delayed throughout last year due to my chronic health issues. As for what I post, it's mostly about my WIPs listed above and re-blogs for other writers in the community, though I do also post about some of my interests like anime, DnD, cosplay, and gaming less frequently. I just like my page feeling personable and relaxed if I can help it. Links section! I have my own website and (usually forgotten) newsletter you can get to at ArigaleFantasy.com. Here you can find a lot of info about the Arigale series in particular, though when other WIPs get closer to release I will be putting a section for each of those up as well. You can get character art and bios, book summaries and links to purchase, and some free short stories. I also had the first five chapters of Arigale right here on Tumblr, but since the recent link debacle with this site they aren't showing. Sad. If you want any sent later just let me know and that goes to anybody who sees this really.

There is also a trailer!

Made to Taste will be getting a trailer at some point too, though it probably won't have so much nice art since my artist is having trouble with her health and a deep backlog of art. I'll likely find a way to manage something still on Canva I hope. WIP Summaries Section! Arigale: Spite in the Spirit Judith and Chit are called to the lonely tower outside their city with little explanation. The one who summoned them is an old, elven wizard named Maleth, who will send them on a quest to lower their floating city of Arigale to where it once resided. Maleth is intrigued by Judith’s strange form of necromantic magic, yet he is also certain of the anxious young man in training to be a spearman and scholar.

Judith, a bubbly yet mysterious young woman, is eager to accept. Chit remains withdrawn and cautious, a remnant of being raised by the Order that presides over their land. Soon, both discover their meeting with the wizard carried dire consequences. Can they accomplish what has been asked of them and save Arigale by exploring the land below, no matter the lengths they must go to? Arigale: Bond in the Blood (2024) Judith and Chit's journey across the seas to Galavarn was not as smooth as they had hoped for. The standard of living here is much different than what they encountered on the mainland, and the newfound bond between them will be tested. Enigmas run rampant here, along with a woman from Maleth’s past who claims to hold the key to defeating them for good. Unfortunately, this woman has an unruly and strangely apathetic nature to her, along with a profound hatred toward their distant companion on Arigale. 

Meanwhile, back on the mainland, those left behind must bear their own struggles as a stranger appears and insists on taking one of their number with him. This man with red, sunken eyes bears a sharp grudge against Stemoss and worse obligations to a certain deity. 

Secrets of the past will come to light on this desolate isle, and the friends left behind will struggle to not become a cog in a plan devised long before they were even born. Made to Taste (2024) When Lyra Morley accepted a rough and tumble new hire from her bar, she didn't think he would end up her new roommate in a week. Noel Akatash brings his own debts, and the people holding the accounts aren't to be trifled with. Magical home invasions aside, Lyra is more worried about her business serving the city nightlife any food she can handle all made to order.

Cooking with a halfbreed's sense of smell comes with its perks, and one of them is that she can hide her skills in the kitchen so no one is any wiser about her true nature. The night-only diner called Made to Taste is meant to be a haven for those the city would rather keep buried. Lyra, the pacifist and abstinent dhampir, would fight to keep it safe. Good thing Noel knows a thing or two about being scrappy. Dream Escape (2025?) Emma Reed, 26, has a Master of the Arts and no place to put it but in her desk drawer. Once proud of her accomplishment, the lights quickly dimmed when she ended up living back in her old childhood bedroom at her parents place and flat broke. Helping Adrien with graphics for their streaming or Sarah with banners for her pet business is all well and good, but it's not at all how she imagined scrapping by. When her newest piece is rejected from the gallery she had finally convinced to give her a chance, Emma hits a downward spiral.

When she awakens, she finds herself in a strange new world with a strange man hovering around her. He calls himself Jasper, a dream painter, and quickly proves his prowess at sculpting others' dreams. Emma was in his care, but though he's petitioned her to wake up, she can't. Neither knows how she ended up in this place, but surrounded by the dreams of others quite literally brought to life around her, Emma makes the decision to stay.

Jasper won't let her. For one, if she stays there is no telling how badly that could go for her, or for his hopes of a promotion. Emma goes along with his plan to cart her across this new place, more as a sightseeing tour than the arduous task he finds it to be. Along the way, a bit of the light comes back into her eyes, and he can't help but remember how bright they both used to shine. Dulled and muddied palettes that they both became, can they start over? Bloodlines (2025?) Blood was her first memory. Not many can recall birth, but Gwyar is a special case. Though she looks like any old elf and had once been instructed to act as such, in her heart she knows that isn't true. Elves aren't born fully formed. Elves don't have memories spanning hundreds of lifetimes or more. Elves surely don't have her terrible taste in company. Until one does. A half-elf, half- orc bard shows up in town going by a name she would choke trying to pronounce. After he follows her and she threatens him and forces a blood oath of silence about her little vigilante hobby, or perhaps because of it, he sticks to her like glue. A vicious songstress with an even more intimidating old tree in her backyard meets a half-blood who loves sweets and suppresses his own inner rage. Together perhaps they can take on the mysteries in her heritage, whether Gwyar wants to or not.

Otherly (Future Trilogy only in planning stages) Daphne Bennet has been waiting her whole twenty-two years for someone to notice the strange events that follow her must be more than just her imagination. She’s never caught a cold, can follow the wind to find lost friends, and the one time she was in a photograph only her area of the picture bore smudges in the background. Believing she may be haunted afterwards, her parents take her to the witch at the edge of their town, only to discover their daughter is not their own. 

No, Daphne is actually a fae. Shocking revelations of child exchanges aside, now Daphne is enlisted at once to upend her life and attend a prestigious magic school to learn to control her burgeoning powers before they control her. Upon initiation day, Daphne is given a bitter drought with all the new students, which will prevent any of them from wandering off school grounds. Everyone is also given a diary to record their thoughts and experiences as a daily exercise, which will magically respond to provide advice and companionship. However, Daphne’s diary seems to be more on the condescending side. As she reluctantly writes, the diary begins to sound as scared as she feels. Every teacher looks less than enthused to be there. Strict rules for curfew, magic containment, and other safety precautions often hinder learning. When her snooping leads to a thinly veiled threat from staff, Daphne resolves to uncover the school’s mysteries within the pages of her diary. Only to watch the words “I’ll help” appear.

All in all, I have a lot going on and need to be more frequent posting on here and getting the word out. I like ask and tag games, but sometimes it can take me a bit to get to them. I hope all this helps and let me know if I fudged it or if you have any other questions! <3

[benpaddon]

One of the big problems I have when writing blog posts these days is whether or not anybody wants to read what I'm writing. Why does my opinion matter above anyone else's? Why should I spend my time typing out my thoughts on a particular matter? What's the point?

I think I may have over-internalized something an acquaintance of mine once wrote on their own blog, a hundred-thousand years ago. I forget the specific words, which makes it incredibly difficult to find them on his website, but it was essentially a variation on something Craig Ferguson said during one of his standup specials - does this need to be said?

Ferguson's take on it unravels a little further:

Does this need to be said?

Does this need to be said by me?

Does this need to be said by me now?

And fuck, it's difficult to get past questions like that when you've struggled with confidence and low self-esteem your entire bloody life, because I ask myself those questions and I find myself answering, invariably, No. Of course it doesn't. Not now, not by me. Why should I write my opinions about any given subject? Who gives a shit beyond me? What would be the point?

It turns out that thinking has seriously stifled my ability to write. I used to write a lot. I'd blog about everything, anything, all the time. Every stray thought, spun out into an elaborate op-ed.

Did you know I used to have a regular op-ed on a now-defunct gaming site? I wrote down every stupid thought I had - and I was 17 when the column started, so some of them were really quite stupid. I think - in fact, I'm 100% confident - that the only reason I was ever hired for that job was because the Editor-in-Chief of said site was a spectacular Britaboo, and the idea of having a British Person With Opinions writing for his little website was, for him, a badge of honor.

I was thinking about that column earlier this week, and musing to myself how I couldn't do it now. I can't get past that mental barrier I've put up for myself. Does this need to be said, by me, now? Well, no. It doesn't.

But then, do I actually believe that? I can't, can I? Otherwise I wouldn't be on Twitter farting every single thought I have into the ether. I can't just be on Twitter to complain about services I use and make dumb jokes about movies I haven't seen yet. It has to be because on some level, whether it's ego or something else entirely, I think my words, my thoughts, my opinions and, occasionally, my jokes have some value.

They have to. Otherwise, what the Hell am I doing?

Maybe being on Twitter for - hang on, let me count my fingers here, ah yes - fourteen years has eroded my ability to string a thought out past 240 characters. Maybe it's eroded my self-confidence. Maybe that Craig Ferguson quote is an excuse. I don't know. I did actually start writing another, separate post about having a dodgy bit of nonsense removed from my credit report today only to delete it because, hey, who gives a shit, so... I don't know.

I want to write more. I want to share my thoughts more. I want to opine again, rather than just tweet. I want to do that, and I hope to do it more often. Hopefully, with the relaunch of my Patreon and the soft launch of my Substack, I can do just that. Fingers crossed.

See ok. If Tumblr blaze was at all consistent. I wouldn't even mind all the silly stuff people blaze without being self aware.

But like. I'm on my phone constantly. I look at it at work even. I'm always checking my dashboard.

I legimitately haven't seen blaze posts in a week and just saw about 10 blaze posts in the past 10 minutes, including a thirst trap, a random image of a comic from the 90s, somebody advertising their star wars ace merch, and somebody just saying "we love you person!"

And like. People paid money to show us this. People consciously paid money to put them on our dashboards.

It's like whiplash. It's like you're following that random person you forgot about who went dark for a few years, got really into something you have no interest in, and comes back every few weeks to reblog a single post.

But also this person paid money for you to see it.

Now I do wanna clarify: I'm not going to directly mock anybody that does this. Well except. Maybe the thirst trap person because I don't want to be forced to see somebody I don't know in their underwear.

But this is genuinely crazy. It's fascinating. It's very much like (forgive the now overused term) a social experiment where these people who've spent most of the time on this site in ehco chambers are allowed a momentary glimpse into another world. Multiple other worlds.

I'll probably go another week or two without seeing a blaze post again. And then it'll be some crazier shit like fandom drama or something

[photographertherapistblogger2]

So it's been a while since I wrote in any of my journals but I've been on a proper journey this past month or two. Anyway I feel its a time to write. Honestly don't know where to start. OK my nan passed away on 4th December from cancer and for anybody that has read my previous blogs you may not I lost a baby in January, anyway I felt like things were getting a tiny bit better but what I realised was I distracted myself from the pain so when my nan was asking where's the baby I put 2 and 2 together and knew my nan was close to death when she kept saying I can see a baby and calling out for my grandad. When my mom told me it just hit me like a tonne of bricks and I feel that emptiness and lost again. I've been there for the past 2 and a half years for my mom to offload too as well so it's been just as hard for me and knowing the sense of loss my mom feels is just absolutely heart breaking.

Amongst all that I have been dealing with my ex being an absolute tool around the kids, he's not diagnosed but I feel like he's a possible narcissist etc etc and I really hate with a passion that my kids have contact with there dad but I do it for them. Anyway he has totally disregarded any concerns I've had then I've had his misses/ex misses also having a go at me about raising this concern. Honestly sometimes I just don't know where to turn with any of this and its hard for me not to react. I see it as them both trying to manipulate me or think I would back down but no I'm going to protect my kids as much as I possible can till they can protect themselves. Anyway since my kids seeing him more often the school have picked up on my daughters behaviours changed which is unlike the one but yeah my youngest does struggle with change. My ex is also trying to use my triggers to upset me and so on for example I've always wanted the have quality time with my eldest but because my youngest can be challenging nobody will take her so I don't have quality time with her at all so because he can he does that, at first I was upset about it but I still clearly give her what she needs and I'm one person, I chose to thing of the positive side if things instead of feeling shit that I can't always give that but I try.

Any with all that in mind I still haven't heard any for the adhd/autism assessments for my youngest daughter so I've been trying to get updates on that plus I realised I still haven't received any information regarding my sons autopsy so been trying to chase that up too. Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed by life and its situations I can't think straight. Which leads me to the next bit. Anyway I was feeling lonely and overwhelmed so I thought sod it ill go on a dating site and I actually thought I'd found someone till yesterday. Anyway I know what people will say when I say this but I honestly don't know what to think anymore. So I'm chatting to this guy who says he's got autism so I carry on talking to him and then I find out he also smokes weed and your probably thinking well there's nothing wrong with that which is why I carried on chatting to him and explain that to me tye issues I've just spoke about were red flags to me, I spoke to him and explained why they were red flags and he understood. So anyway I was in an domestically abusive relationship for 8 years with someone who had a drug addicted and used his diagnosis to mistreat me etc. So anyway I carry on chatting to this guy thinking yeah maybe he's different and understands me when yesterday he asked if I also had autism to which I said no. I was stupid and asked him why and he explained that I came across as cold and had no empathy but wouldn't explain why he felt like that so I left him to it. He made no effort to talk to me about it so I've blocked him now.

Honestly after all that it hates me to say it but I feel like I'm still not over what my ex did and even though I don't love my ex there will always be the memories we once shared and thats what kills me. I hate the fact that I just started to trust someone who turned out to be just like my ex. I'm so upset with myself that I keep attracting these men that want to mistreat and it just goes to show me that I still need to work on trying to get out of the trauma of being a people pleaser. What I want to do for the new year is write some goals I want to achieve and things I want to let go of for new year and hopefully clear alot of negative energy and trauma that's still trapped in my body. All I want is to feel loved and to feel safe is that so hard. I'm feeling so upset with myself right now hence why I wanted to write. Anyway I'm gonna release this and go watch a Christmas film to try cheer myself up. Goodbye for now

Vintage Porn Site

Whether you are an understudy of history or simply love pornography as a general rule, one of a kind pornography destinations are exactly what you want! These hosts the sort of filth your folks, grandparents, and predecessors wanked hard to move in the days and there are such large numbers of them they will undoubtedly show you a few new things sex and the sexual experience.

The pornography on such destinations includes a lot plumper females than the stick-meager figures that make up a large portion of the pornography flicks these days. Pussies then, at that point, were additionally adequately rugged to have a grown-up rhino and odd storylines were the standard (Deepthroat anybody!).

Many of the entertainers in these classic XXX flicks were not even real pornstars. They were rather novices who got off on getting penetrated on cam or like appearance off their sexual abilities for the crowd. The greater part of them are fairly well known now, particularly among the cognoscenti.

In any event, seeing one of a kind pornography offers you a profound glance at the past and causes you to long hard for it, as opposed to the insane society we are live in at this point. Also, that is the principal reason I love rare XXX!

Classic Doesn't Mean Low quality 100% of the time

At the point when you allude to somebody as rare you unquestionably don't mean they are thriving! Presently, one of a kind pornography is pornography from many years prior, however that doesn't make it futile.

There are even those that accept that one of a kind pornography is low quality waste, however that isn't true. Without a doubt, there are some rare pornography of low quality that could make you blind on the off chance that you watched it. There's likewise remastered top notch one of a kind pornography that could undoubtedly give you a third leg you could remain on and use to fill a pool with! Also, indeed, around here at The Pornography Fellow, we just suggest the best rare pornography destinations with the best and most tasty recordings. I'm discussing destinations like TheClassicPorn, Vintage Porn Site, and MyRetroTube, all of which have sweet stuff like bashes, butt-centric, subjugation, striptease, lesbian activity, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Don't you need to perceive how they screwed buttholes and your mom some time ago? Assuming that you do, rare XXX is the solution to your requests!

Why Individuals Love Classic XXX

Individuals are a wide range of unusual. That is to say, the PS5 is practically here, and the PS4 Master has for quite some time been accessible, but you get people who like to play pixelated games on old Commodore and Atari game machines. How bizarre could that at any point be! Then some like old furnishings, shoes and what have you.

What I'm talking about is that people have changing preferences. What you like could cause others to feel debilitated. That implies while you could favor seeing a waxed and conditioned high schooler prostitute spreading it for a person like Jordi El Nino, your companion should watch a moderately aged instructor from nowheresville getting her bristly pussy banged by a butt hole like Ron Jeremy. Get my float?

Assuming that you are into one of a kind pornography, congratulations. In the event that not, quit giving melancholy to people that like it.

Your Folks Wanked To Which One of a kind pornography Stars?

Have you put your folks down and asked them which classic XXX star they wanked to? What's halting you? Better ask them today, and assuming that causes them to exclude and repudiate you I vow to pay the expense of your outing to Mars!

Genuinely however, there were many renowned and enormously valued one of a kind XXX stars. The pornography scene then was parcels more shifted as well, with dark, Asian, and European stars in overflow.

A refined chicken sucker like Angelica Bella for instance could make any wet dream you care for materialize in cumming design! You could likewise need to look closely at Christy Ravine and her rump, or attempt to persuade Trinity Loren to uncovered her gigantic bosoms and sit all over for a brief period!

Damn! There are a ton of super-fab one of a kind XXX stars out there and how I want to get my rooster in them!

Well What has been going on with That multitude of Fab Rare XXX Stars?

In a word, they went downhill. Indeed, we as a whole go downhill, however getting old is the greatest sin a pornstar can commit.

Thus, when these XXX stars got excessively old to ride a hero dick they got resigned. Some are presently grandparents, while others are sitting in elderly folks individuals' homes some place telling the cooks and their kindred seniors how they used to suck a mean chicken back in the days!

Be that as it may, I have talked adequately long. Go through our posting presently, read the surveys and warm up your lube once you see a one of a kind site or rare star you need to stick it profoundly into!

How to Research for Your Craft

In the past I made a post talking about why research is important. Half of witchcraft is research, like it or not. Now I'm here to provide a sort of guide on how to research information for your practice. Anybody can follow this, beginner or advanced.

💭 Initial Thoughts

Think about what you want to research. What are you looking for exactly? If you want to research multiple topics, write them down or keep a note on your phone. Don't stress yourself trying to research multiple topics at once. Research them one at a time, and don't move on to the next topic until you feel comfortable with how much you've learned about the current one. Normally, I recommend for beginners to start with cleansing, protection, warding and banishing. Those are necessities, in my opinion.

📚 Finding Resources

Google is free, so that is where y'all will start. Try looking up the topic you're looking for (you may want to add "witchcraft" somewhere in your search, depending on the topic). You can find information on Tumblr, Instagram and other blog sites. You can also find information on Tiktok and Discord servers. This is the easiest way to find resources.

Books are the next thing to consider. I know some of you don't like reading, aren't in a living situation where you'd be safe buying occult related books or don't have the money to buy books in abundance. I'll be addressing multiple things regarding this.

I think a few reasons some people don't want to buy books is because they don't know what books give good information, they feel pressured to buy dozens of books or they aren't confident in their ability to read. Here is the thing: research takes time. So does developing your craft. Don't rush your studies for any reason. There is much for you to learn and practice, and that will always require time and patience. If you can buy a physical copy of the book, buy them one at a time. Wait for them to be on sale if you must. Just don't overdo it by buying multiple books at once. Also, don't buy a book without looking at the reviews and researching the author (will be talking about this more).

If you can't afford physical copies of books, try finding pdf copies of books. There are websites that have pdf copies of books, and some Discord servers have libraries of pdf books. This is a more accessible way of finding and reading books. (I still strongly suggest trying to buy physical copies, though. Good authors deserve financial profits for the time and energy they put into writing books to share their knowledge.)

The final resource is people. There are many people online who practice witchcraft and magick. If the person is comfortable with answering questions, ask them (always check to see if they are comfortable with teaching on their social media first). Some practitioners have Discord servers or Patreons where they teach. Being able to talk to other practitioners about their craft and beliefs can be beneficial. That being said, don't be a disrespectful bitch and demand to receive information from people on witchcraft. You aren't entitled to know everything about a person's craft, and not everybody wants to be a teacher on social media. Teaching can get exhausting. As I mentioned earlier, check and see if they are comfortable teaching on their social media accounts.

🚩 Checking for Red Flags

When researching for your craft, you will always want to check for red flags. There is a lot of bad information out there and you need to know how to spot it. Here is a link to my post about red flags in witchcraft and magic.

📖 Cross Referencing

Cross referencing your sources is essential for a variety of reasons. Some sources will have good information that others don't. One source may give a different perspective than another, and that doesn't make one more reliable than another by default. If you looked at my post explaining red flags, you know why.

No matter who the person is or how highly they are spoken about, always look for more resources regarding the topic you are researching. See what other people have to say, even if their opinions are considered "unpopular". Sometimes the people who have unpopular opinions can offer a valid perspective.

🔍 Consider the Mundane

Sometimes you don't need to strictly think about something in a "witchy" manner. For a few topics, I would consider looking at things from a mundane or cultural perspective. For color correspondences, I like to look at how colors are viewed from a psychology standpoint. You may also want to consider a cultural perspective, too, because different cultures may view colors differently. For plant correspondences, I like to think about the medicinal uses for plants.

🖋️ Taking Notes

Whether it be physically writing all your notes or just typing them in a document, I would try to keep some sort of documentation on what you are learning. The initial notes would only be a rough draft of sorts, so don't focus on making it look pretty. Focus on documenting the things you are learning, what seems to be most accurate, what seems to be questionable... Cross out information that you have found to be inaccurate. Circle something that inspired you or you want to look into deeper. Take note of where you are finding the information.

💡 Coming to Your Own Conclusions

There are some things that are a little more set-in stone than others, but some things also require you to decide what you believe. Take all of the information you have learned and documented into consideration. Experiment with it. See what works for you and what doesn't.

Companions react to a Courier who is actually a child they just never noticed because they’re always wearing the Desert Ranger helmet (sorry I just can’t get this idea out of my head)

It had been a few days since the courier had taken up traveling with their companion, and though they still held their cards close to their chest, the formalities of a new partnership had softened somewhat. Sure, the courier was secretive, a little bit guarded, and surprisingly short, but they more than made up for their quirks when they charged into battle against whatever wasteland threats were feeling lucky that day. That's how their ever-present Desert Ranger combat helmet wound up with a smashed lens, after a particularly vicious attack from a group of feral ghouls.

"Goddammit," the courier swore passionately, before fumbling with the strap of their helmet. "These things don't grow on trees, the NCR doesn't hand these out to just anybody, I had to pull this from a corpse I found back in..."

They kept going as they pried the helmet off, revealing a face that held the unmistakable fullness of youth. As they picked shards of glass from the helmet's eye socket, their companion just stared at them.

Finally, the courier noticed the silence and looked up again. "What? Do I have glass in my face or something?"

Arcade Gannon: "How old are you?" Arcade demanded. "And don't give me some hedgy answer about not knowing your birth date or year, you have to have some idea."

"What does it matter?" the courier shot back, shaking their helmet out over the Mojave dirt. "I can shoot, I can run, I can track and fight and patch myself up afterwards-"

"That's not the point," Arcade said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You can't be older than 12, you should not be out here hunting down raiders and wandering around vaults-"

"Motherfucker, I am 13 years old, don't tell me I can't-"

"Oh my god, you're 13." Arcade stared up at the barren sky, questioning every decision he'd made in the past week. Several realizations struck him at once. "You're 13. Did Benny and the Khans know? Did House?"

The courier shrugged. "Hell if I know. If they did, they didn't care. Neither should you."

"The fact that I care is probably going to save your life," Arcade replied dryly. "Come on. We can wander around the desert taking NCR contracts after you've gone through puberty."

Craig Boone: "We shouldn't be out here," Boone said, suddenly angry.

The courier brushed some stray glass from their coat. "Well, we have to be. Someone's got to check out the REPCONN test site, and I need to find out where Benny went. If you want to go back, though, I guess we can-"

"You shouldn't be out here," Boone clarified. "Tracking down the person who sold my wife is one thing. Sending a kid into a war zone is another."

"War zone?" the courier scoffed. "Listen, I'm not a child soldier, I'm just trying to get by. Plus your buddy's extorting me, so it's not like you can argue that I'm doing this just for fun."

Rather than answer them, Boone swung his rifle around to his back and swept them up in a firefighter's carry. "Hey!" the courier cried, pounding on his shoulder and chest. "Put me down, you piece of- I can handle myself, you know I can- asshole, I've been a courier longer than you've been living in Novac!"

Boone ignored them and turned back toward the town they'd left. "We're going to have a chat with Manny about his practices when hiring outsiders to do security jobs."

Lily Bowen: "Oh, pumpkin," Lily said sadly. "You didn't tell me you weren't ready to be out wandering the wasteland, even if you brought Grandma along."

"Grandma, I was already wandering the wasteland when I came up to Jacobstown," the courier replied, picking some glass from beneath a fingernail. "And what makes you think I'm not ready? I just demolished those ferals."

"Leo killed the ferals," Lily argued.

"Okay, maybe you took out most of them," the courier admitted. "But I still managed to get three or four. You can't tell me I'm not ready to be out here when I've been out here for as long as I can remember."

"Where is your mama?" Lily demanded, clearly agitated. "She should be taking care of you. Or your father. I'm going to have a word with your parents, dearie."

"Good luck," the courier muttered. They finished clearing out the damaged glass and jammed the helmet back onto their head. The open socket left one of their eyes exposed, but it was better than nothing. "I've got business in Westside. Are you coming or not?"

Lily crossed her arms. "If your parents are busy, then you're staying with Grandma until they come back."

The courier sighed. "Fine."

Raul Alfonso Tejada: "Dios mío." Raul clapped a hand to his forehead in distress. "You're not old enough to be out here by yourself, boss."

"Well, I'm not," the courier pointed out, tossing a piece of glass over their shoulder. "By myself. Thanks to you."

"Well sure, now you're not, but what about before I came along?" Raul shook his head. "You need to be somewhere with more walls and fewer raiders."

The courier looked unconvinced. "Make me."

Raul wasn't in the mood to argue, and he strode forward, intending to seize them and drag them back to Goodsprings, or Primm, or any settlement where there was no longer a looming threat. "Ya estuvo suave, you're coming with me."

"Bájale dos rayitas," the courier advised him, backing away. "I've made it this far, haven't I?"

Raul reached out for them, and the courier ducked and took off. The string of Spanish curses that chased them was long and earnest, but it took some time before the pair ran out of energy and drew to a halt on the dry Mojave flats. "Are you done?" Raul asked, between deep breaths.

"Not... on your life," the courier answered, with a mischievous smile.

Rose of Sharon Cassidy: Cass raised her eyebrows and uncorked her canteen. "Nothing. Just figured you were a little older than 13, is all."

The courier smirked. "And what gave you that idea?"

"Mmm." Cass took a swig of water. "Dunno. Maybe it was the whole yarn about getting shot in the head and chasing the culprit all the way to New Vegas. Didn't seem like a kid's story, but now that I'm hearing it back, it does sound a little far-fetched."

"I didn't make it up!" the courier insisted angrily. "Look, right here."

They tilted their head to the side to show off a wicked bullet scar that had been stitched up over their ear. Cass moved in to examine it, and her expression became very grim. "So that part's true, at least. Damn shame."

"And I'm not letting that checkered fuck get away with it," the courier agreed. "You still want to help?"

Cass nodded. "More than I did before. Anyone who looks a preteen in the eyes and shoots them point blank is someone in need of a visit from the angel of death."

"Good." The courier put the helmet under their arm and jerked their head to the north. "Then let's go."

Veronica Santangelo: "Soooo..." Veronica smirked. "When were you planning on telling me you were just a baby?"

The courier frowned. "I am not a baby. There are plenty of couriers out there who are younger than me."

"Oh, sure, I can see the appeal." Veronica nodded. "Aside from the usual problems, it's easy work. Especially if you don't have any family... ties. Um."

She looked down, and the courier's eyebrows went up. "Question?"

"Nope." Veronica pursed her lips. "Maybe. Are you..?"

"On my own?" The courier smiled. "Well yeah, but don't feel bad about it. It's nothing I'm not used to. Plus people like you are usually jumping to come with me, so it's not as lonely as it used to be."

"Aww." Veronica met their eyes again with a smile. "Glad to hear it. And if you ever need anything, you know where to find me."

"Your hole in the ground?"

"My hole in the ground."

The courier laughed and chucked a piece of glass away into the brush. "Thanks. Don't get too sappy on me, though."

ED-E: The courier's eyebot beeped and tilted its speaker up and down, as if indicating interest in the courier's entire self.

"Oh, yeah." The courier smiled. "People take me more seriously if they think I'm older. It's a pain in the ass to keep the helmet on all the time, but it works. Hell, I've been served in bars without any questions since I started wearing it."

ED-E trilled and gave a few more suggestive blips. The courier laughed. "Well no, most bartenders don't give a shit how old you are anyway, but you get fewer judgmental looks if they think you're an adult. Still, it'll be a good day when I can start passing for grown. This thing can get really hot."

Rex: Rex barked. He'd known the courier was young. Seeing their face was nothing more than confirmation for the cyberdog, and he lolled his tongue and panted.

"Yeah, I'm okay, buddy," the courier reassured him. "And I know you'd like me better if I didn't wear this, but it's for my own safety... in more ways than one."

They finished poking out the broken glass and put the helmet back on. Rex growled half-heartedly, but he quit when the courier reached down to scratch the ruff of fur around his neck. "Still me, boy. Let's hit the road."

This a weird question, but can you imagine the Cullen children in zoom class? Like would they even bother, or would they just abandon going to high school all together during the quarantine period? I'm trying to imagine them just sitting in their big house all together on multiple computers, forgetting even to move like a person so it just looks like they put up a photo instead of being there themselves, or them having to sit through someone invading zoom classes and distrupting the lesson by screen sharing porn sites or something 🤣 Can you see this scenario happening?

Depends on whether they’re still doing the human thing. Modern technology is making life difficult for anybody who wants to live under the grid. People can’t pop into existence with a few papers, especially not if they’re a doctor with his wife and eight kids. So, if the Cullens hadn’t dropped the human charade by the time COVID-19 hit the world, odds are they’d use this time of increased home schooling and people being too distracted by the pandemic and lockdown to just sort of quietly step away from civilization. Carlisle would have to be dragged away from the pandemic kicking and screaming, of course, but as a doctor he’d have to go through regular testing and that can’t happen. Regardless of what the Cullens end up choosing, Carlisle can’t work as a doctor through a pandemic that will feature regular medical screenings.

So, it’s dubious that they’re still doing the human routine in early 2020, but the Cullens have always gotten away with it in the past, and they treasure their lifestyle more than anything. To turn their back on human civilization would be to turn their back on everything that makes them Cullens. The cars, the houses, the video games, the overfilled bank accounts - it would all have to go.

Which is why they might end up saying “... let’s wait a bit. Carlisle, you got into a horrible accident and died so hard there wasn’t a body.” and then Esme and the kids continue the charade just a while longer. It’s easier to not be caught during lockdown, after all, there’s no chance of eating anybody, no one will see them not eat anything during lunch hour, tons of pluses really! (Or so they try to convince themselves.)

In this scenario, then yes they’re doing zoom classes, some more fervently than others. If Rosalie stops doing zoom classes it’ll mean she’s giving up on Rosalie Hale and descending one step further down on the ladder towards inhumanity, and that won’t do at all. SHE’LL DO ALL THE ZOOM CLASSES.

Emmett, you’re right that he would treat this as a giant joke and see how much he could get away with. Though, as lockdown went on I imagine if he’s in high school he’d get bored and eventually be a black screen called “Emmett Cullen” accompanied by a muted microphone, relying on Alice to help him out in case the teacher decides to call on him. Or maybe he can park Carlisle in front of the screen, Carlisle has nothing better to do. If he’s in college he won’t show up at all.

To Jasper, if he’s in high school I doubt he’ll bother at all. There’s no point in it now that he doesn’t get his practice around humans, and he has better things to do. Jasper Hale drops out of school due to grief over his late father, who died in that horrible accident. If he’s in college then great, he can study in perfect tranquility. In that case he’s doing Zoom.

Alice does it, because she is very dutiful towards her visions. They have told her to be a Cullen and do the Cullen lifestyle, ergo she does the Cullen lifestyle.

Edward does it too, because high school or college, he’s addicted to suffering.

Bella is down for this as well, because like Alice she signed up to be a Cullen and so a Cullen she shall be.

Renesmée asks why they can’t spend lockdown visiting auntie Zafrina, but alright alright we’re doing the zoom thing. Or else the now dead Carlisle goes to visit, taking Renesmée who also dropped out because grief with him.

Esme is delighted, she can finally join crafts and cooking clubs without the threat of eating the other members. She has a great time.

A depressing time is had for everyone except Esme.

You know

I've read a lot of dumb fuck, stupid as hell takes out of jpeg's lane

but today

TODAY, I read one, from one of their favored "intel" blogs that has never been right but never stops them

today

I saved a post of theirs

and now. now i wait.

nono, I won't tell you what it is yet. But just remember this post come time shows are airing.

I wait. for the invariably worst-aged post of all time

a post that is so objectively bad, that by the time it manifests and reality is so counteractive to the nonsense, they might have faith that it will have disappeared into the abyss

but no, no

I'm just.

can't wait to let them embarrass themselves so bad they might finally actually delete their shit

oh my god the complete reality disassociation on things I KNOW they know better than and yet they have willfully deleted to make room for other delusions and I CANT

I mean I know they groomed themselves into forgetting that demo > audience. And tricked themselves into all the major rating sites listing Walker as #5 for the last year running just to fuck with them. And even made an entire account with the CW logo that's a fan account just to have a retweetable thing to claim Walker is still #1 while WB and actual CW tweets the obvious AA being #1, because, you know, it's #1 and Walker is #5. But. There has to be a LIMIT to the stupidity SOMEWHERE, RIGHT??? They couldn't. They couldn't POSSIBLY be so unhinged from reality that they think a #5 show and its SPINOFF are going to be #1 and #2? Hell even if we gradient it. #5 and #6?? ARE THEY OK???????????????

like i get them not having the complex processing power to understand things like night and hour slot impact but!! THEY DO NOT SEEM. OK??? There's a level of "divorcing oneself from reality to build your own" that def seems a little further than "giggling having fun in fandom etc" and while I'm pretty sure they sailed past that forging the CW News account to pretend to still be #1 in their conversational bubble, just completely blocking out the other shows CURRENTLY ON THE NETWORK DOING WAY BETTER much less FUTURE COMPETITION??? IS??? WILD??? HELL!! EVEN BY THEIR STUPID AUDIENCE STANDARD OTHER SHOWS STARTED OUTPERFORMING WALKERKSJDFSKDJFSDKJFSDKFJSF AND NOBODY USES THAT, HENCE ALL THE RATINGS SITES PUTTING WALKER AT #5 AND DECLINING ASIDE FROM THE ONE THEY MADE UP. The only thing that means without those demos going up is that those audiences are devaluing in their age skew, like Walker!

S&L, Flash, All American, All American Homecoming. All doing better in demo thank walker. Which, you know. Is what matters. Which, you know, is why every actual ratings site lists by that in order. Which, you know, is why they had to make their own.

I can not repeat that little factoid ENOUGH while staring into the void at the level people willfully make up bs then want people to argue with their made up bs en masse and pretend it has equal footing because they don't assume anybody knows what they're talking about and just imagine everyone's as fake as they are.

bro, go back to trying to act. you'll probably fail there again but at least that fake failure bs pays, wtf is this shit you're cluttering the internet with
