#14HOURSOBER... DETERMANED TO CHANGE MY LIFE

[mylordshesacactus]

Listen as the certified Fucking Weirdo my entire life who has to try badly all the time to suppress my constant urge to explain sailing superstitions, nominative determanism especially in the context of shipbuilding, historical perceptions, maritime spirituality, etc

It is always very nice how any time something is mentioned that even VAGUELY brushes up against the subject of, like, the Titanic, the ENTIRE GROUPCHAT reliably turns to me and goes

[pink-sparkly-witch]

Hello hello 😊

Okay, for the WIP Tag Game what about:

"2) Whatever it Takes" ?

Sounds kinda dark but could also be just determanating. 🤭🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey hey beautiful!

Not dark, ANGSTY 🫣

After his divorce from Y/N, Beau decides to follow her and their daughter to Helena, Montana, to be a better father. When Beau and Y/N get trapped together by a snowstorm, a nostalgic trip down memory lane makes her ask the question she’s never had an answer to: what happened?

“I don’t understand, Beau. What happened to ‘whatever it takes’?”

“I’m sorry, darlin’. I can’t give you what it’s gonna take. And you deserve better than that. You both do.”

Karma is a bitch (Part 1)

(warning, bad grammar cause opera doesn't have auto correct rn, kms)

It was a day like any other, the vast green vegetation flurished as far as the eye could se, the clear blue sky hovered ablove everyone and the sun shined all throught the land.

Off in the distance the blue blurr could be seen running at the speed of sound, a trail of dust behind him where ever he went, a small cocky grin planted of his face as he picked up speed going throught enemies and rescueing the trapped animals.

With a final bot destroied he landed on his feet after doing a front flip, arms outstreached as to not lose balance, and did a bow before suddenly his ears flickered as he picked up someone is distresse, he frowned and with a determaned look he performed a super peel out and moved towards the soud.

After pushing away a few plants, and ignoring the times he times he got slapped in the face while moving them, he saw a small Fox being bullied by two bigger foxes, the smaller one seemed to have twin tails, something the bigger two seemed to find great amusement, they pulled and twisted them while he semmed to try his hardest to push them away.

Sonic frowned again, much more intensely, before shaking his head and rolling in a ball after a small jump, he spin dashed towards the one that was pulling on the taill before bouncing off his face towards the other one.

After he landed on his feet and fists clenched on his hips, he looked down at both of them, tilting his head slightly to the side with one eye slightly open, one seemed scared, the other angry.

The angry one sloppily got up and charged at him with his hand raised, he threw a punch but Sonic ducked and spun around with his leg streached out, hiting him in the leg and falling again, on his face this time

The scared one looked at him in terror after seeing his bro get effortless beaten by someone half his size, he got up and ran away, he chukeled as he looked to the angry one and saw the shocked face he had, as he too got scared and ran away.

Sonic - "Tsk Tsk, people don't know manners these days, then again pretty sure anyone as better manners then Robuttnick " - he said as he shocked his head, and ended it by scratching the top with his index, he stopped and turned his face to the small fox, they flintched and crawled backwards away from him when he did so.

Sonic - "Jumpy one ay?" - he muterred to himself as he saw the Fox's behavior, he then fully turned to face him, he papped his hands against one another and swated his shoulder and bottom half as he walked towards him, the fox crawling away faster and faster, until he bumped into a tree and Sonic was right in front of him when he slowly turned back around with a horrified face.

He flitched and closed his eyes as Sonic raised his hand up and then moved it towards his face, he expected a punch but nothing came, he opened his eyes and saw him extending an open hand towards him, confident smile aimed directly at him.

Sonic - "Hey there kid, names Sonic, boy i can tell you sure are popular around these parts, bet your the life od the party no?" - he said with a few light hearted comments, the fox looked down in shame as he rubbed his arm, Sonic's smile slowly faded away until it seemed forced, he cleared his troat before continuing.

Sonic - "Ahem anyway come on let's get you up, unless you plan on taking your taking a nap i don't recomend siting on the ground, it's a pain to clean it off, even then grass is better for that, the ones that don't have insects i mean" - he rienforced his open hand to him and he sheepishly obliged, weakly getting up from the ground.

He was much shorter than Sonic, about chin level no couting the ears nor the slowly spining tails behind him, Sonic looked at them for a bit, finding them pretty cool making him smile wider and letting out a small "heh", although this cause the Fox to hide both of them behind his back and look away, Sonic raised a brow althought still kept the smile.

Sonic - "Self consious kid?" - he shyly nooded after a bit - "Hmm, well don't lesten to those jerks, they wished they were as half as cool as you" - he said as he nuged his arm with his elbow and a slight smug look as he saw the Fox's face light up a bit his tails popping up from above his head again.

Tails - "R-Really?" - he asked hesitantly.

Sonic - "Uhh, DUUUUH, yeah dude you look pretty rad not gonna lie" - he said while widening his eyes and getting closer to him for the duration of the duuuuh before returning "Wanna like, hang out and stuff?" he followed right after without skipping a beat, the Fox seemed surprised by his proposal, he twitched his finger and scartched his face cheeks a bit.

Tails - "Are you su-

Sonic - "Yes".

Tails - "But have you con-

Sonic - "Too much brain work for my liking".

Tails - "What about-

Sonic - "I don't mind it i think it's cool".

Tails - "Are you gonna-

Sonic - "God no i would never do such a thing that would be cruel".

Tails - "But you don't even kn-

Sonic - "By the way's whats you name kid?"

Tails - "...Tails...Tails Miles Prowler..."

Sonic - "..."

Tails - "..."

Sonic - "...is that a-

Tails - "Yes it's a pun"

Sonic - "..."

Tails - "..."

Sonic - "That's so god damn cool what the hell"

Tails - "Wait huh-

Sonic - "Anyway Tails pleasure meeting ya, names sonic, wanna swing by my place by the south of green hill? I make a mean chili dog trust me

He proposed once again as he extended his hand to him, Tails looked back and forth at it, with a concerned look on his face, his eyes looked away for a second before he looked up at sonic and saw his confident smile and slowly grabbed his hand

Before emmidiatly wobbling up and down cause he weight around a sack of potato's stop sonic, when he was done he almost fell on his ass, although sonic managed to catch him on time, scratching the back of his head out of slight embarrassment.

Sonic - "Anyway see you at 3 yeah Tails? Hope ya show up, bye! - he said as he backfilled into some bushes before he super jumped away

Tails stood there for a few seconds, head slightly wobbling due to dizzieness but it stopped as he placed both hands on the sides.

He saw has the blue trail Sonic left slowly faded away and then he let out a long sigh

...and grinned...

Despite her statuesque frame, she’s never shied away from stilettos, once revealing, “I’ve never been the kind of girl who wears heels in the day – it makes me feel uncomfortable and I’m way too tall… but if I have an event, then I’ll wear a pair.” Behati Prinsloo shows off her long legs and perfectly pedicured toes in minimalist black strappy heels (Credit: DFree / Shutterstock) The Love Story of Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo: A Chance Meeting Maroon 5’s frontman, Adam Levine, got her contact details through a mutual friend when he was looking for a model for one of his music videos. Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine share a tender kiss, capturing the love and chemistry between the model and Maroon 5 frontman (Credit: Sheri Determan / WENN) Although she couldn’t take the job, Prinsloo revealed on Watch What Happens Live that he kept emailing for “weeks and weeks.” They eventually met for a date when she was in Los Angeles. “It was kind of love at first sight,” she told Andrew Joseph Cohen, an American radio and television talk show host, producer, and writer. Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine exuded coordinated elegance in black-and-white ensembles at the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, with Behati stunning in a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pinstripe gown and Adam in a classic tailored suit on April 13, 2024, in Los Angeles, California (Credit: Abaca Press / INSTARimages) Behati Prinsloo’s South African Heritage: An Exploration of Her Afrikaner Roots Behati Prinsloo is an Afrikaner, a South African ethnic group descended from predominantly Dutch settlers first arriving at the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th and 18th centuries. She grew up speaking Afrikaans and was educated in English. Her ethnicity is a rich tapestry with Dutch, Frisian, French, and German ancestry. Additionally, her lineage is sprinkled with distant Latvian, Finnish, and Kenyan roots, as well as remote connections to Portuguese, Norwegian, Belgian (Flemish and Walloon), Swiss-French, Swiss-German, Danish, Swedish, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Malagasy, and other African (including Angolan) heritage. Both of her parents are from South-West Africa (now Namibia). Her father, Louis Francois “Boet” Prinsloo, is a Christian minister, and her mother, Magda (Rossouw), is from Cape Town. The Height of Elegance: Behati Prinsloo’s Statuesque Figure Unveiled Although she claims to be taller in interviews, her real height is believed to be 5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm), which makes her slightly shorter than her husband, Adam Levine, who measures 5ft 11 (180.3 cm). Behati Prinsloo’s US women’s shoe size of 10.5 translates to a size 41 in European (EU) sizing, 8.5 in the United Kingdom (UK), and approximately 24.85 cm long. Behati Prinsloo radiates in a chic D&G vintage 1998 dress, revealing a hint of her lingerie, at The Daily Front Row’s 6th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards, held at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, in April 2022 (Credit: Xavier Collin / Image Press Agency) “I feel like I could have been a gymnast gold medal Olympian, 10 years ago and wasn’t 5’11���.bummer! Sorry Namibia,” she tweeted about her height.

Adam gets me crazy sneakers and I have a closet full of shoes, but I usually wear Dr. Martens. I’ve never been the kind of girl who wears heels in the day – it makes me feel uncomfortable and I’m way too tall [5ft 11]. If I have an event then I’ll wear a pair, but not to just run errands,” she added about her height in an interview with Net-a-Porter. Behind the Name: The Meaning and Origin of ‘Behati Prinsloo Behati is a girl of African origin. It means “blessed; she who brings happiness.” Prinsloo is an Afrikaans surname derived from the Dutch word Prins (meaning prince) and a Loo suffix meaning clearing in a forest. Alternative spellings include Prinzloo and Prinslo. Her name is pronounced Bay-HAWT-ee PRIN-zloo. After welcoming her first child with Adam Levine, Behati took a brief step back from the spotlight. But it wasn’t long before the supermodel made a stylish comeback, reminding everyone why she remains a red carpet favorite. Behati Prinsloo: A Red Carpet Return with Style and Grace In November 2016, Behati Prinsloo was back in her heels and hitting up the red carpet eight weeks after giving birth to a baby girl. The model wasn’t out to party, mind you, but to be a supportive wife to her husband and Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine. Behati traded her maternity clothes for a sexy party dress as she joined celebrities on the red carpet of the 2016 American Music Awards.

Behati stepped out in a black vintage dress from Vivienne Westwood. The dress showed off the model’s curvy front, hiding what remains of her post-baby bump underneath a single ruffled detail.

It either needed ironing or was way too vintage to be saved. Either way, Behati looked gorgeous with a post-pregnancy glow as she supported her other half. Adam Levine closed the night with Maroon 5 and the new single “Don’t Wanna Know.” Style Moments of Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine have captivated fans with their fashion choices and public appearances.
