[delirious-donna]

To be honest, I can't quite believe I've hit this milestone already and actually I achieved it two days ago (this is so unreal to me)!

I would love to personally thank every single one of you, but y'know, I do have a life and I'm definitely not rich enough to be visiting you all, but just know that I would!

Anyway, this is to allow me an opportunity to give back! Please have a look at the rules and pick something you'd like from me!

Event Close Date: CLOSED 29th August 2022 (or if I get snowed under, but I'll update) Rules and options are below the cut ^^

The Rules

must be following me

over 18 blogs only, yes I'm offering SFW options but my blog is primarily NSFW so yeah... NO MINORS!

can be for any of my fandoms: Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Fairy Tail, Edens Zero & Bleach

requests need to be off anon so I can check the top two rules are being followed but if you want to stay anon when I post, just tell me, it's no problem

at this time I'm not going to limit requests per person except ones that are first come first served - but be mindful of others

please be patient, all requests will be fulfilled but I do have to work and live so yeah...gimme a chance to rock your world

all drabbles/scenarios will be around 500 words, although I am not known for brevity so it could be more

I will assume female reader in scenarios unless gender neutral is specified, male reader needs to be assessed on a case by case basis but is not a straight no

I'll be using the tag delirious500 for all posts for this event

Option One - Can I take you out? (SFW)

Self-ships are amazing and need more coverage so this option is for anyone that wants that true experience with your favourite beau. Send me a description of yourself, as much detail as you are comfortable with (physical attributes, hobbies, maybe a little of your dress sense and if you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert) or you could send a photo – which will be deleted, of course. Choose a pet name or nickname and tell me your favoured character. I will write up a date for you cute little sweethearts. I am asking for this to come in off anon, but you can tell me you would prefer to be anon when it posts. No one needs to know it’s you if you don’t want!

Option Two - Sin with me... (SFW or NSFW)

Sinning never felt better than when it’s done with your beloved. Choose one of the seven deadly sins and your character of choice. I will write up a drabble based on your choices, this can be either SFW or NSFW, just let me know what you want. If I find I get too many requests for the same sin, I might take it off the menu. Just remember, lust isn’t the only fun one… promise.

Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath & Sloth

Option Three - I wanna do bad things with you (NSFW)

Pick a prompt from below and give me your character of choice. I will write a short drabble around the theme of the quote. Let me know if there is anything you specifically do NOT want to be included. Only one request for each prompt – I will cross them out as they go. If I get two for the same then it will be first come first served but I will offer another option to the person who misses out, cause I’m a motherfucking sweetheart! ^^

“Your face would look better between my legs.”

“Roses are red, Violets are blue, I’m using my hand but I’m thinking of you.”

“I give you permission to wake me up if you get horny.”

“A gentleman holds my hand. A man pulls my hair. A soulmate will do both.”

“I wanna be the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you read it.”

“I swear to you I won’t stop until your legs are shaking and the neighbors know my name.”

“Respect me. Adore me. Dominate me.”

“I want to taste me on your fingers.”

“The key to a great marriage — keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.”

“Now spread your legs and try to tell me about your day.”

“Spank me. It’s the only way I learn.”

Spy x Family Review!

Hello, and welcome back to a new anime review! Today, I'm reviewing the 2022 phenomenon: Spy x Family!

Well, let's cut to the chase: this anime's freaking amazing. This way, it's clear from the get-go. To introduce it a little, Spy x Family is an action/comedy anime that has begun airing this year. The second part will begin to air in October, so really soon!

You've probably heard of this anime, as its adaptation from the manga made for a ton of hype. And honestly, it is 100,000% deserved. I expected much, and I got just that, and then some. I am still beyond impressed, honestly.

Now, just like every popular anime out there, it has its fair share of haters. I'll say something I first said in my Black Clover review: if you think this sucks, you must have godly standards. If you do, please make your own anime because none will ever satisfy you.

Don't get me wrong, I understand criticism, but I've seen many people say this anime's trash without even bothering to argue, and I think that's pretty sad. Anyway, back to the review!

This anime scores many points in the originality department. After all, the ideas behind the plot and characters are extremely clever and they immediately won me over. Executing things well is important, but being original is, too!

The plot, as I said, is original, but remains easy to understand. It helps to make it wholesome and adorable, but that doesn't mean the story is dumb! It's well-crafted and balanced to perfection. You'll laugh, smile, sometimes frown, and maybe even cry, too!

Another thing I would like to point out about the plot is that it's both serious (with parallels I would draw to Violet Evergarden) and fun (with parallels I would draw to Fruits Basket in that regard). That's not an easy thing to do at all!

Moving on, the characters in this anime are great. I won't even mention the main trio into too much detail, since they're flat-out amazing. They have the most perfect dynamic I've seen in anime so far, and their designs are just... OMG. I love them!

Even the side cast is really solid! They have fun personalities and quirks, and except for a single character, all of them have a true positive impact! But yeah, no anime's perfect, so one character is a little... suspicious, let's just say.

Well, only twelve episodes have released so far in this first part, so character development isn't much of a thing for now, but seeing the dynamics really settle in has made me smile all throughout. I am so looking forward to seeing how the characters evolve in the future!

I know some say the dynamics are pretty cliché, but I disagree with that. Sure, the tropes used aren't new (i.e. pretend family), but they're executed with enough twists to make them original. And besides, old doesn't mean bad!

Visually, this anime looks great, no doubt. It's above-average for 2020s standards, and the animation is excellent and very fluid. The few action scenes in these first twelve episodes were nicely animated, too.

The opening is colorful, to say the least, and pretty. In general, Spy x Family has some great music, with a variety of themes for each situation.

Overall, I can only tell you to please watch this anime. If you like action, there's some! If you like comedy, there's some! If you like romance, there's technically some, too! This first part is wonderful, and I loved watching it more than you can think.

If you're in a bad mood, it's certain to make you smile and giggle. If you're already in a good mood, it'll make it even better! It's adorable, cute, funny, wholesome, and all that. Please, please, do not miss out, I'm begging you.

Down below is the tierlist for the characters! Thank you for reading this review!

Pretty Sure "Black Clover" Took Over my Spotify Wrapped This Year 😅

I suppose I shouldn't be as surprised as I am, but a lot of my top Spotify wrapped songs this year are from my Black Clover themed playlists including my #1 song of 2022: "Line Without a Hook" which has made me think of Finral Roulacase from the first time I heard it 💚😂

Discussion under the cut

Ricky Montgomery - Line Without a Hook (feat. mxmtoon) [Official Lyric Video] - YouTube

I'm particularly fond of the version featuring mxmtoon which added some of my favourite lines, including: "I can’t speak fast or else I’ll crack/It’s the price I pay for going back/And I’ve dreamed to be seen/Now I’ve got it, do I want it?" Really speaks to how Finral, at times, is really just trying to keep it together--pretending that everything is okay and not wanting to admit to himself that it isn't. Also, he desperately wants to be acknowledged and accepted--especially by his family, and (in the context of the canon) he thinks that becoming the head of House Vaude will give him that. But I think there is always that burning question of does he really know what he wants? If he does eventually get to become the his family’s heir, will it be everything he hoped it would be? Is what Finral thinks he needs to be happy, ultimately what will make him happy?

At it’s core though, this is a love song, and one of my favourite songs for Finral x Finesse (They're so cute! 💕). It's a bit of a different take on a love song and definitely up to interpretation (my sister thinks it's very sad, for instance). To me, though, it's about someone whose heart is filled with these big "explosions" of emotions but is also a little untethered and wayward like a "line without a hook.” In the end, however, the singer's heart always finds its way home to its steady, gentle safe-place, the "pond" to its restless "ocean." 💚

Also, I mean, the bridge is just so perfectly fitting for them too… (or at least I think so 😅)

"‘Cause there is something, and there is nothing

There is nothing in between

And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer

Watching over me, he’s singing,

'She’s a, she’s a lady, and I am just a boy”

Singing, “She’s a, she’s a lady, and I am just a line without a hook'”

🥺💕

~~~

Just for fun, I'm also including another of my favourite songs that make me think of Finral, “Grace Kelly” by MIKA (which ranked at #14 on my Spotify wrapped this year). It's a bit cheeky, but I think it really speaks to his desperate desire for love and acceptance and willingness to do whatever it takes to be wanted—even to the extent of hiding or changing things about himself if he thinks it’ll make him more likable, all the while wondering why people (all those girls that shoot him down, for instance, or, especially, his family) don’t like him…

Mika - Grace Kelly - with LYRICS. - YouTube

On a certain level, especially as far as his father and stepmother are concerned, Finral really thinks that it's his fault that they don't like him--that there's something wrong with him that makes him unlikable or unworthy of being loved. He genuinely believes that if he was only more powerful, more intelligent, more responsible, more like Langris, and just "everything more" than he is, then, his parents would finally love and acknowledge him. There really is that desperation there--that "How can I help it, how can I help it? How can I help what you think?" And that loss of a sense of identity, where he tries to put on these airs (tries be charming, for instance) when that's really just not who he is.

“I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more Why don't you like me, why don't you like me? Why don't you walk out the door?"

Enough said.

Of course, we all know that Finral is at his best when he isn't trying so hard and is just himself. Luckily, his squad loves him for the awkward, scatterbrained but oh so genuinely sweet and sincere goofball he really is 💖

Landscape Smithsburg Maryland Weeds

Landscape Bed Maintenance

 Winter Weeds

 Grosh's Lawn Service Tip of the Week Video # 451 for December 4, 2022

 Weeds do grow in the winter in some landscape beds here in the Smithsburg Maryland area. 

Winters weeds include deadnettle, bittercress, henbit and chickweed. 

Perennial weeds like clover, wild violets and dandelions will also grow in the winter. Winter weeds will flower in March, but if the temperatures are warm enough in February they can start blooming. 

 Mulching helps with keeping winter weeds from germinating on the bare soil in mulch beds with only a thin layer of mulch. 

 Contact Karen and Tom Grosh of Grosh's Lawn Service now at https://www.groshslawnservice.com/ to schedule your winter weeds landscape bed control and mulching here in Smithsburg Maryland, Washington County Maryland and the tri-state area. 

 2023 marks our 33rd year of professional lawn mowing service to the Smithsburg  Maryland community, Washington County Maryland and the tri-state area.

Ship: Stageshipping | Anzu/Dark Magician Girl

Word Count: 1,405

Rating: T

Universe: Duel Monsters

Tags: Inspired by Music, Sexual References, Unresolved Sexual Tension

Recommended Listening: The Jack by AC/DC

   Ever since the incident with Noah, Anzu could swear her brain had been fried. All that VR and electricity, it clearly wasn’t good for her because more and more frequently, she could swear that she was seeing Dark Magician Girl, like, everywhere.

   At first it was just little glimpses here and there, like maybe she had just so happened to pass by a similarly looking blonde in a crowd or something but then it got undeniable. Eerie. And then corporeal. Dark Magician Girl was literally right in front of her.

   Anzu couldn’t believe it but she just giggled and smiled like she wasn’t a touch out of place in Anzu’s bedroom. She was lucky her parents weren’t home and hopefully the neighbours wouldn’t care that she let out a short burst of a scream when she saw Dark Magician Girl just appear out of thin air.

   “H-How? Why?” Anzu sputtered out but ever an enigma, the Duel Monster just batted her eyes and continued on.

   To Dark Magician Girl, Anzu’s room was a treasure trove of teenage girl normalcy. That intrigued her muchly. She wandered around, eyes wide and open, as she assessed the various knickknacks of an ordinary girl but to someone like Dark Magician Girl, it was practically another world. The chunky cassettes and their player; the clothes strewn about; it was all alien to her right up until she found Anzu’s deck.

   “That’s good, you still play. I’ve been worried. And bored.” Dark Magician Girl chirped.

   “Well, I don’t play as much as the boys. But I’m confident I could beat Jounouchi any day of the week anyway without practice. I just have other hobbies, is all.” Anzu replied.

   Dark Magician Girl turned on her heel and gave Anzu the biggest set of baby blue puppy dog eyes that Anzu had ever seen: “Aww, you don’t wanna play?”

   “Well, I mean I do… I just don’t have time, I guess. I have studies and part-time work and-” Anzu rambled, making excuses.

   “What about right now?” Dark Magician Girl asked, a whinge and a whine to her voice.

   “Er, well, I was… But I guess that’s not important, I’m pretty on top of mathematics right now, that was just extra…” Anzu replied.

   “Do you want to play? Right now?” she asked, excitedly.

   Anzu simpered for a moment and then agreed, “That sounds lovely.” she replied.

   Dark Magician Girl’s entire expression lit up. She beamed all happy and joyful, bouncing on the heel of her foot, holding onto her little magician’s rod. That was the best news that she could have been told and Anzu felt her heart skip a beat. She was just glad to have made Dark Magician Girl all happy like, but what she didn’t expect was just how difficult it would be to play Duel Monsters with a Duel Monster.

   Dark Magician Girl had brought her own deck with her - or maybe she could just manifest it out of thin air, Anzu wasn’t sure but they sat down on her bedroom floor together and the games that followed were intense. Way more intense than she was expecting and if she didn’t know any better, she would say that she was being hustled right now but it was hard to tell with Dark Magician’s cherubic face, how she giggled coyly. She really wanted to convince Anzu that there was not a thing to be worried about, that she never really won much anyway but Anzu had her rightful suspicions but she overlooked them, too busy getting lost in the peculiar atmosphere. It was electric.

   The first match was a draw. It was just to make sure that Anzu hadn’t grown rusty in her leave of absence from the game, even if it was a relatively short stint. It was just for show, to play around and experiment, to have fun, and to recover the more niche rules and interactions of the cards they were playing.

   The second game was for keeps. It had actual stakes and feeling brushed up after that first match, Anzu felt fairly confident and it played out quite well for her. She won and Dark Magician Girl showered her in praise. Which Anzu didn’t mind one bit, she liked to think she had a knack at playing and she wasn’t going to get anywhere fast if she didn’t feel confident - and Dark Magician Girl appeared to know that.

   Hence the third game. It was for real. It was to see what they could really do to each other and they were both looking forward to really, truly ripping into each other from the polite facades of either side of a two-player card game. It was going to be fantastic and nothing less, if the previous demonstrations were anything to go by and go down to the wire.

   It was difficult for Anzu to know what Dark Magician Girl was thinking. She was sly. But not in a closed off way, she played it up and loud, nice and theatrical to put on a little show and it got Anzu going as she watched how a real Duel Monster did it. She was utterly entranced by how Dark Magician Girl played.

   Her hands were deft and slender, watching her shuffle cards was nothing less than a genuinely magical delight. Her giggles were girlish and impish as she tried to convince Anzu through demeanour that they were both on equal footing but the more that Anzu observed her, the more she became convinced of that facade. 

   She swallowed a lump in her throat as Dark Magician Girl closed her eyes and she could feel every card, keeping them close to her breasts. Edging along the vertices of her cards in hand - and inadvertently, the outline of her corset, too. She had to tug it down on the other side as she moved oh so obliviously to what she was doing, giving Anzu a sneak peak of the ink that she had on her upper thigh to match the garter on her other leg. Anzu could feel herself start to flush, she wanted to pretend she didn’t know why but she was already far too deep in Dark Magician Girl’s snare. And Dark Magician Girl was enjoying that control greatly.

   “I win.” Dark Magician Girl chirped triumphantly at the end of her combo.

   Anzu’s life points were decimated and so was something else. She smiled sardonically but she was a good sport. “You played well.” Anzu congratulated her.

   “I know.” Dark Magician Girl was far too snotty sounding there for her own good, lucky she was cute.

   She leaned over what remained of their end-game boards. She looked up at Anzu with those big, bright blue eyes and Anzu softened. She should have known that she was being most expertly played by this monster in the shape of a girl. Everything about her screamed hustler, from the garter on her left leg and that tattoo on her right, of pendulums swinging and the various suites of cards, and of course a pentagram star. 

   Dark Magician Girl was everything an illusionist of the unseemly ought to be and Anzu had fallen for her routine hook, line, and sinker. She puckered her lips and Anzu drew back her brow. Quirking it with a most serious expression on the rest of her face in contrast to how unsavourily sweet Dark Magician Girl was looking in front of her..

   “And let me guess… to the victor goes the spoils?” Anzu asked.

   “Yup.” Dark Magician Girl replied, begging for that kiss, batting her eyes. “Please? I know you were checking me out…”

   Anzu blushed but she remained firm, “And haven’t you heard? Best out of three?” she asked.

   “That’s how I like it. Keep going, Anzu, good luck.” Dark Magician Girl replied, flirtatious and competitive.

   There was all but a gleam in Anzu’s teeth as she packed up her cards so they could be shuffled. She even tried to copy Dark Magician Girl’s technique, impressing her greatly. She had a very good feeling this was going to be their best duel yet and nothing worked up an appetite for a kiss like the highs and lows of victory and loss. Dark Magician Girl couldn’t wait and she wanted to make the dancer in front of her really work for either reward as winning and losing was all the same with such thrills on the line.
