you aggreed to a trade deal, then when i realised the deal was actually worth the loss of property i would take from selling my card to you...you went "Nope i dont wanna anymore" and also stuck your tongue out at me which was very rude. theres a biiiiiig difference between people who play monopoly in a nice way (not you -_-) and people who play it like they're 1960's Dictators (you -_-)

THUS i dont wanna play with you anymore cuz youre a meanie

I think it’s important that people play card and board games with each other

Hello! This is my first time making a request, if it's okay, can I get a reader with Lillia, Rook, Vil and Leona who has recently been suffering from insomnia and anxiety about returning home (comfort in the end) Please? 😔🎀

i absolutely love this, i get horrible insomia. i gotchu♡

(edit: i ended up focusing on one more than the other in some, but both are mentioned. hope u still like it *mwah*)

reader suffering from insomnia and anxiety about returning home.. ⋆⑅˚₊

word count: 1.5k

warnings: mentioning of anxiety, and panic attacks (there will be major comfort though), sitting in laps, kissing, joking to help, mentioning of what happens in each of the characters books (i hope yall have read em before but js in case)

characters: leona, rook, vil, and lilia

leona kingscholar🦁

you paced the botanical gardens on campus, hands tangling in your hair s you thoughts went a million miles a second..

how am i going to get home?

how is my family.. god i miss them..

if im forced to stay here.. how do i even pass these crazy magic classes?

do the people here ive come to know even want me here or are they forced to cause i cant leave..

every new thought was another anxiety that just caused your breath to quicken. your thoughts were flooded with negatives.. if you had magic this is what youd assume a magic blot would feel like.. so much negative emotions piling into you all at once.

you eventually sat below a tree, knees curled to your chest as you tried to calm yourself down. it didnt help that you hadent slept in days, insomnia only getting worse since coming to nightraven.

yet no matter what you did your breaths wouldnt calm, your hands kept shaking, and you couldnt hear or see straight. you almost jumped right out of your skin as you felt hands grab your own that covered your face. looking up you saw brown hair and ears.. leona?

his voice made its way to you eventually, "herbavore? herbavore.. seriously c'mon your worrying me. ruggie said you ran off but i didnt think itd be this bad." he mumbled to himself before his hands slipped dwon to your biceps, "hey, listen to me." he spoke firmly.

your eyes eventually meet him, your breaths calmling slightly at his presence. taking large breaths through your lips as you looked up at him, arms shaking in his hold. "dont fall out on me now, we need you." he spoke lowly as he scopped you up with ease, placing you betwen his legs, "your alright now herbivore, whatevers going on in that head of yours, its gonna be alright, yea?" he placed a kiss on your forhead allowng you time to breath normally.

when your breaths calmed and body began to calm, you sighed and leaned more into his body, "thank you.. leona". he chuckled deeply, sloching more down the tree, letting you fall into his chest. "its fine kid, just glad your fine. did something happen?". your eyes widened before spilling, explaining your thoughts to him slowly, anxious to be a burden. when you ended he rolled his eyes and strted laughing.. at you?..

huh?

"you seriously think anyone here doesnt want you here? i think at this point those first years would fall apart without you, and as for finding your way home, crawley better. or ill personally kick his ass, alright herbavore?" you simply nodded your head and leaned into him smiling, "your really not as bad as they say you are.."

vil schoenheit🧺

vi had become obsessed with training for the dance competittion, day after day everyone was practicing for hours every day. you tried to be nothin bt supportive but your insomnia had only gotten worse with the recent stress of the compettition..

what will happen if we dont win?

everyone else looks so tired..

god im so tired.. when was the last time i slept multiple hours?

i wish i could just go home already..

you guys had gotten the first brea of the day, you sat against the wall between kalim and ace as they yapped about how excited they were to preform next week. listening to them had you distracted, your eyes fluttering closed.

a hand was placed on your shoulder, looking up you saw jamil crouched in front of you, "are you alright? you look terrible prefect" you heard ace and kalim repremand him for being so blunt, but you just shook your head trying to wake up, "im fine jamil.. just tired, thank you though"

he looked skeptical but quickly turned to make sure kalim was drinking water and taking a proper break. ace mumbled something under his breath that you barley couldnt catch before he stood up and walked towards vil who was with rook and epel, who were talking across the room.

you saw vil look down at ace with his arms crossed, he glanced at you as ace pointed a finger to you. vil abandoned his conversation with epel and rook, shooing away the others around you, "why wouldnt you say that you havent been sleeping, thats not proper conditions for you to be proforming in prefect."

"im fine vil-", he rolled his eyes and cut you off, "you look anything but, stand" he reached a hand down to you, pulling you up from the ground. your head swam with spots when you rose too quickly, stumbling into vil.

he wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you up, "poision.. is somethng truley wrong?" you looked up at him, eyes wide as he read you like a book. he quickly took your hand and dragged you out of the practice room and into the lounge at pomefiore.

he sat you down in one of the chairs and crouched in fron tof you, holding your face in his hands, "speak to me.." you sighed before explaining what had been happening, the stresses and not sleeping, the thoughts of never being able to go home.

he sighed and stood, sitting beside you and tugging you into his side, "i wish you would speak up when this happens, you know that id never wish to add to your burdens." he placed a kiss to your forhead before continuing, "we will find a way for you to go home, no matter how bitter sweet itll be, i do hope we find a way for you to go back and forth.. we would all miss you terribly here.. especially me." at his words you sighed and relaxed into his side, "ill find a way back, i could never just leave you guys.. especially you.

rook hunt🪶

you thought itd be easy to hide your emotions recently, but knowing rook he proably could already see through your mind..

i hope i can go home soon..

i wonder if time has passed back home and if my family is worried about me..

i need to stop stresing, i havent slept at all recently

these magic classes are getting harder with the lack of magic

you thought you kept a pretty good mask on arround others, yet as soon as you were walking from potions alone with rook he spoke up, "mon cheri.. have you been sleeping enough? your beauty is as blinding as always, alas you seem more tired than usual."

you shouldve known better than to try to keep something from him, he finds out everything sooner rathar than latter, "im alright, just worried about getting home, i guess its been affecting my sleep.."

"well theres no use in worrying cheri! i garuntee they will find a way to send you home! with that said i think a long rest for you is in place." he spoke cherfully as he laced your hands together and dragged you to pomefiore, you smiled at his actions and followed along.. he always here to look after me

lilia vanrough🦇

after dealing with blots from every other house, you thought hanging around diasmonia would be calming. yet as you sat in the lounge with silver, sebek, lilia, and malleus your thought still didnt stop running..

whos going to over-blot next?

will the next one be more powerful.. maybe too powerful..

i didnt have these struggles at home

even my sleep scheduals gotten worse.. late nights staying up with lilia and idia playing games have become much more often an occurance

im supposed to be relaxing, just breath..

your mind spaced out as you looked at the floor in front of you while stuck in thought. your hands tangled into your blazer sleeves as your breath quickened, your vision began to see spots before you felt a hand rest on top of your own in your lap.

"prefect, is something the matter?" your head snapped up and saw lilia who was sat beside you, a concerned look for once took over his boyish grin, "your not looking too good.. are you ill?" he placed a hand on you forhead attempting to asses if you were running a fever.

"im alright.. just missing home" you mumbled, offering him a small smile as you placed your head on his shoulder. he sighed, raisng your hand to press a kiss on the back of your hand, "well find a way for you to go back, i promise it my dear."

he wrapped an arm around your waist pulling you to lean more into him, "in the mean time, you havent been sleeping and its clear, get some rest prefect" his boyish grin returned as he pecked your cheek. he was right.. everything was gonna be ok.

you finally felt comfortble enough to fall into a deep sleep against him, with grim curled up into your lap mumbling about his dreams of tuna. surronded by people you became found of over you stay at nightraven, it wouldnt be bad to stay here, but you knew that there would be a way home.

I was watching one of those “reading Reddit stories” videos, and this one from r/Confessions sounds like something Darryl would do 🤣

I sold sodas in high school after a ban of soft drinks was put into place to pay for senior fees. I ratted out my compettition.

Bad news, all of the Looney Tunes shorts have been removed from Max.

Good news though, it is announced Tubi will gain The Looney Tunes Show and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries next month. (read more here: https://corporate.tubitv.com/press/whats-coming-to-tubi-in-april-2/ )

Good on the latter. We need the best daffy (though the day the earth blew up certainly provides compettition), back on our screens. On the former.. yeahhhh.. this is why i'm investing in getting the rest of the golden collection. This kinda shit. Warner is just... nonsense. But this is bad even for them as it's THE SAME WEEKEND YOUR LOONEY TUNES MOVIE CAME OUT

And that's both a joke AND a legit question: I learned from an interview for the movie that the truth of how WBD is doing.. is somehow even worse. I used to think they were burning it down for the insurance money, that Zaslav was tanking the company and then going to sell it and run and retire to his condo in hell.

Instead.. their doing this self destructive, horrendous, inexucsable shit... because their broke. Which as the tubi reruns, the day the earth blew up, caped crusader and merry little batman hav eproven.. there are.. smarter options. Tubi wasn't a big giant at the time sure but roku channel still existed. Even with streamer belt tightning.. some of the things they threw out would've been sellable. And as proven with the day the earth blew up... indie distrbutors will GLADLY take a godo product off your hand and distribute it themselves.

I"m.. so fucking tired at this point. I'ts just one bad decision after another, after another, after another after another. Disney is slowly inching them out in being horrible, but they'll never top Zaslav at sheer stupidity.

Vro. What you said abt Obssesive Shu and Izumi sandwhiching me in between them. Vro. VRO.

Now that makes me think abt being used over and over and over again by the both of them, its like a little compettition to them, "who can break me the most?"

-🕊 anon (Funfact: i was also the dogboy chiaki anon)

in obsessive men we thrust trust. competition is always heavy with these two even if they won't say it. in the middle of fucking you they'll be staring into each other eyes with deep hatred(or lust, who knows) for the other getting to have you as well

art of error i drew for a friend art compettition thingy!! its error showing his little doll pupette thing

[fatihulusoy]

Greetings yet again folks! Before today's news i should ask this: what would you think when wearable tech is mentioned? AR/VR glasses? A smart watch? a pair of fancy glasses? nfc based products or was it something else for you?

what if i tell you there is a battery that is so stretchable and bendable that can be tailored between linings of your clothes now what would you think?

Meet the age of stretchable batteries people!

in that case i should mention when people of today was so busy with nonsense politics and rightist or leftist ideas there were quite a race between the biggest tech schools and companies for manufacturing this tech such as apple, samsung, stanford, Yokohama National University, zotach (japan based wearable tech company), sydney's UNCW, Australian research comity and more.. you get the idea..

so what is this tech in its core?

basically building more softer and more long term reliable materials to replace our common daily use batteries

in term of materials it nearly uses our common li-on batteries but these are mainly works like electrodes and often use polymers, hydrogels, and other flexible materials for electrodes and electrolytes. we can see in recent inovations include the use of stretchable conductors like gold nanowires or carbon nanotubes.

BUT what these mambo, jambo, wombo, combo means for public eye?

much longer active use time, higher adaptability, flexible form factor yet lower energy and power density.

for now this tech has been used in certain medical implant cases, wearable techs, tv's, and watches for now but there is some attempts to imply this in to textile industry recently..

and japan is seems like ahead of the race for now with Zotac’s VR GO 4.0 backpack

this is a backpack pc and its power source is tailored between in entire foam/ fiber pad. this "pc" is specifically made for VR/AR and streaming which includes

11th Gen Intel Core Mobile i7-11800H processor, an NVIDIA RTX A4500 graphics card with 20GB of GDDR6 memory and 7,168 CUDA cores, 16GB (32GB maximum) of DDR4 RAM, an M.2 slot for storage, a 2.5′ SATA 3 hard drive/SSD bay for storage, three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.1 type-C port, DisplayPort, and a 12V DC outlet, all powered by dual 86.4 watt-hour hot-swappable batteries.

like i said this tech is still under developement stage and people still trying to make this tech better than other compettitives...

time will show us what will it gonna be turn out at the end..

lastly.. see you guys tomorrow...

There's talk of the Leafs extending Marner and half the fanbase is going to lose their minds over it. I don't mind it personally so long as they play some really hard hard ball with him in negotiations. Yes all the criticisms of him are fair, he's still one of the games elite passers and has consistently been one of if not the highest point getter on a team that includes Auston Matthews. Losing him means 100ish fewer points which could even end up being the difference between the playoffs and not making it with how compettitive the atlantic division is.

Plus if he doesn't want to waive his no trade clause then you lose one of your best players for nothing and there's no guarantee you can convince any similar calibre players from elsewhere to want to play under the ridiculous media microscope in toronto.

However they need to make it 100% clear he is either taking a discount to stay or he's looking somewhere else. They need to put down the number that makes sense for the team taking into account that his production flatlines in the playoffs and tell him to take it or have fun in Utah. I'm just glad it's not Kyle Dubas doing the negotiating anymore maybe the team wont get taken to the cleaners every contract negotiation anymore.

Also I still like Mitch I don't think he's worth 10-13 million dollars a year but I'd like to see him back on a team friendly deal....if it is possible.

Found family dynamics with the maximals - Optimus primal, Rhinox, Rattrap, Dinobot, Cheetor, Tigertron, Airazor, Blackarachnia, Silverbolt, Depthcharge, NightScream, and Botanica please

I’m guessing you just meant with the Maximals, if you want the reader to be involved, let me know and I can make a new one. If something doesn’t fit with the Beast Machines canon, let me know. I still haven’t seen it so I’m mainly going by what I heard happened/Beast Wars canon. I know some things like Optimus personality is different but due to my knowledge, I will have to focus on Beast Wars character personalities.

Found Family Maximals

- Optimus is like a dad to the team. He’s often looking to help the others, though sometimes he tries to solve problems when it would be in the Bots best interest to figure it out themselves.

- When he starts doing that, Rattrap will be quick to comment while Rhinox will calmly mention it.

- Rhinox is a bit softer and is like a kind uncle to the team.

- Rattrap is more the fun uncle who shouldn’t be trusted to babysit, but will protect them.

- Dinobot is a bit stern, but will also accept the others need to grow.

-Tigeron and Silverbolt are like the cool older siblings as they both teach the younger bots but would be hesitant to get them in trouble.

- If one of the younger bots didn’t clean their rooms, Silverbolt will help before Optimus sees and Tigertron will warn them when Optimus is about to check.

-Airazor and Blackaranica are like the cool big sisters.

- Botanica is more like the calm sister who would give advice but can be quiet at times.

- Blackarancia’s advice sometimes isn’t the best and her and Silverbolt disagree on the advice.

- Depthcharge is still a bit of a loner and has troubles being close to to the team so he comes and goes.

- Nightscream and Cheetor often act like kids, running in the base or sneaking off.

- Nightscream and Cheetor are close because of this, they do at times argue if Nightscream isn’t listening to an important rule.

- Dinobot usually knows when NIghtscream and Cheetor are up to something but will often let it go unless it would cause a big problem (For example, if they are going somewhere dangerous, he will get involved but if they are doing something like pranking one of the others, he won’t catch them and will help if Rattrap is the one being pranked).

- Depthcarge often spends time with Nightscream as he understands why Nightscream is more distant and is a positive role model to him.

- Optimus tries to organize family game nights (Though if anyone asks they are simply to boost team morale).

- He usually has a plan but it gets changed and eventually forgotten by the time the first game is done.

- Optimus isn’t bothered by this as he’s happy the group can act so naturally together.

- Nightband and Cheetor often get carried away with being competitive.

- As compettitive as Nightband and Cheetor are, Dinobot is the worst. He will pout if he’s loosing.

- Rhinox acts as referee if they are getting out of hand.

-Tigertron, Botanica and Airazor are the most laid back, if they happen to be winning, they will try to give the others a chance to catch up.

- Once, Optimus had to leave overnight. He came back to a mess, though Rhinox Tigertron, Airazor, Silverbolt and Botanica were trying to clean up.

- They explain that some of the other bots (None would tell who) decided to throw a party.

- Cheetor was trying to help, but was overtired so he wasn’t helping.

- If one of them is injured, there is a seriousness over the whole base as they are worried about their family member.

- One day, Nightscream snuck out during a storm and everyone went to find him.

- Botanica found him first and after getting him back to the base, they were talking at once to figure out why.

- When asked, he admits he’s having trouble adapting to this close of a team and admits he feels like he’s in the wrong for feeling that way.

- Optimus convinces the others to leave and talks to Nightscream.

- Afterwords, he often has times where he goes out for most of the day with one of the older bots, usually Tigertron or Depthcharge.

- Rhinox notices how Optimus often looks deep in thought and will ask if everything’s okay.

- Optimus wouldn’t admit it, but having the team be more like a family scares him a bit since it would be more difficult of one of them were to be hurt.

I heard you won a karuta competition back in the day. How would you grade your skills now?

Ah ha ha... do people really know about that compettition? I'd say i'm pretty good at it, but seein' as Kazuha's gotten ta' finals of a Karuta competition before... I'll play anybody but 'er.
