Ursula 1000 - Movin' To The Sound (Insect Queen Music)

8DPromo · Ursula 1000 - Movin' To The Sound (Insect Queen Music)

Ursula 1000 is the alter ego of Alex Gimeno, a producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He has released eight albums and mix sessions that take listeners on a retro-futuristic journey of exotic grooves and electronic disco funk. He has performed in over 30 countries, collaborated with notable artists such as Fred Schneider of The B52s, Lady Bunny, and Puddles Pity Party, and has had his music featured in various TV shows, ads, and even the Olympics. Now Ursula 1000 pulls out his dusty smiley face shirt from the closet and goes full-on 303 acid house squelch and jacking 808 grooves for this new single. "Movin' 2 The Sound" showcases Ursula 1000's signature exotic dreaminess, with elements of acid house, throbbing sequencers, and pumping hip-house action. The Berlin-based duo Acid Jerks provided the first remix, taking the acid house business to peak-time bliss. Meanwhile, Fort Knox Five, a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene, focused on electro vibes and b-boy action. Finally, Red Laser Records duo Il Bosco & Metrodome, also known as DJ Absolutely Shit, cranked up the bass, bleeps, and breaks to 11, bringing rave-ready, time-stretching, day-glo dancefloor destruction. This whole single's a trip!

Tyler Stadius (Deepen) – “Yeah, love this! Never get tired of good acid.” Frank Peisker (Bureau45 Agency) – “Killer! The dancefloor will be on fire with this retro electro smasher with a modern twist.” Psycho-Jones (Kater Blau) – “This is Ursula 2023. Love it very much.” Shan Frenzie (2SER FM) – “Love the funk edge on the acid grooves.” BMD (XLNT) – “As expected, Fort Knox 5 have nailed it. Great remix.” Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Subspace Radio Show) – “As a big fan of Acid Jerks, I was stoked to receive this. Muscular acid house vibes that transport me back to 86.”

Available Now From: Bandcamp, Beatport, Apple Music, And Spotify.

Fort Knox Five and Slynk Tap Megan Hamilton for a Tasteful Rework of “Keep The Funk Real”: Listen – EDM.com

Longtime friends Slynk and Fort Knox Five strive to keep the funk both real and fresh with their latest release.

"Hey, Daddy, just a heads up, but mom wanted to know if you were interested in joining our little bet...." Amanda said.

"Oh, what's that, darling?"

"Welllll.... my friends convinced my to take Femruptarin, as you guys can probably tell...."

"Of course, sweetie, you just gave birth a few months ago."

"So, I told mom that my friends are placing bets on when I'll pop! Mom thought the idea was super cute so she asked to join. The winner gets all my savings from my OnlyFans, just as long as you promise if anyone films me popping that you upload it to my OF! You can keep the money it makes, naturally." Amanda giggled.

"Of course! That money could help me with building a new deck, and then some, I'd imagine."

"Ohhh yeah. You bet, Daddy! I make a whole lot flaunting this pregnant body of mine, these huge breasts I've developed from constantly being pregnant since forever ago! And playing with myself all day long......"

"The house will feel quiet without all the little chimes from your stream donations and you moaning like a proper porn star as you masturbate four hours on end for all those fans of yours. It will be kind of nice not needing to clean off all those tarps you line your floor with to catch your orgasms. Never seen a girl squirt so much in my life, over and over, you absolutely drench your room, and yourself...."

Amanda giggled. "What can I say? I'm a very talented girl, Daddy... So! Any estimation how long I'll last?"

"That womb of yours is like Fort Knox, you carried octuplets to ten months a couple years ago. I say you'll make it to nine months!"

"Daddy, are you crazy? I've got like thirty kids in my womb, I'm only two and a half months or so along....."

"I meant what I said. Your belly'll have no trouble getting twice the size of a yoga ball before you finally burst! I have faith in you, darling. If you're good at one thing.... other than coming like a geyser a dozen times in a row, it's carrying a school bus of kids in that womb of yours."

"OK, I'll mark you down for nine months on the dot! Mom only guessed seven and a half..... My oh-so-supportive brother only guessed six."

"He's out of his mind as usual! I know you're gonna last at least to eight months, you'll see. Mark my words!"

"I hope you're right." Amanda rubbed her belly. "I wouldn't want to disappoint Erica...."

"That sister of yours is already obsessed with pushing out as many kids as she can. She really looks up to you, you know?"

"And she looks amazing carrying quints! Can't believe she's already nineteen.... Time flies...."

"But you're twenty-five so you might as well blow up like a big balloon?"

"Exactly! I think this is the perfect send off for me, I love breeding and pumping out dozens of kids, but I just love putting on a show, knowing as many people as possible are getting their rocks off to me."

"That's my girl. And wow, think this is the longest I've seen you go without making that pussy cum like a fire hydrant in years. I better not keep you much longer, wouldn't want you to have an accident--I see you rubbing those chubby thighs together, baby!"

"Is it that obvious? Mmmm, well how about you join me? My fans love it when you guys join in, especially you, daddy. Who doesn't love seeing a hugely pregnant girl with giant udders like these getting fucked by her daddy? Plus, all those donations we make together might just go to you anyway...."

"You know, you've got a point, darling."

Would the listeners survive a zombie apocalypse? (In my slightly sarcastic, completely subjective opinion)

Idk man, I'm bored and got time to kill in church so here we are

(Tagging this is going to be a nightmare-)

(Edit from the future: It was. It really was.)

Redacted:

For sake of my sanity this isn't all the listeners, just the ones I'm still actively keeping up with (I'll get to the others...eventually)

Angel - Solid maybe. Out of all the unempowereds, definitely has one of the highest chances. But it would take an extreme streak of luck.

Babe - No...I'm sorry but no. Would be like one of those extras that you see eaten in the first minute of a horror movie.

Sweetheart - Probably. Can a zombie detect someone invisible? Sweetheart is smart enough to survive, they'll be fine.

Darlin - Yes if they have Sam to hold them back from sacrificing themself for the "greater good". No if they're left completely to their own devices.

Lovely - Depends on the version. Pre Adam, no. Pre Inversion, maybe? Post Inversion, definitely. Hard to die to a zombie apocalypse when you're a) already dead and b) literally immortal.

Treasure - Okay, I know Treasure is the newest addition to the roster and we haven't had a lot of time to see their personality develop but as of now? Yeah...no.

Freelancer - They'll do it on -3 hours of sleep simply out of spite. Freelancer has been through enough, they're just tired. They'd survive but begrudgingly.

Honey - Honey would survive out of spite and spite alone. Would definitely have that baseball bat from The Walking Dead.

GBA:

Guardian - ...you're kidding, right?

Darling - Yeah...no. Soft bby would never.

Faithful - Possibly? That stubborn attitude and medical abilities would help but has absolutely no combat training so ehhhhh, it depends.

Paradise - If she can break a pirate crew out of space Fort Knox and wrangle Yargwynn, a zombie apocalypse is pocket change. Paradise would own an apocalypse.

Partner - I swear I'll stop bullying the new additions. Once they're worth not bullying. The man made the zombie apocalypse, I guess we're gonna find out if he survives won't we? I'm not hopeful though.

Escaped:

Asset - No one in ATW even knows how to do basic math, the only way any of them survive is through sheer force of which they might actually be successful. So maybe.

Raven - Yes but she would have a mental breakdown about it so she would not be the same on the other side.

Slash - ...seriously?

Guest - Hm, a trained vampire slayer in a zombie apocalypse, I wonder what would happen! Obviously she'd be fine.

Intern - Entirely dependent on who they're trying to keep alive. If it's just them, probably. If it's them and the rest of their merry band of misfits, no.

Future Wife - You're funny. RIP my girl, no one will know her husband broke the fuckin timeline for some pancakes.

Agent Schäfer - Once the shock and panic wore off, yeah she'd be fine. Hope she doesn't get eaten during that freeze.

("Where's Lass?" When Desmond returns for more than five minutes, come talk to me about listening to Blue Infinity)

Nomad:

Pack Mom - Definitely. We already know she's a deadly shot and wasn't afraid to shoot a living person, a dead one would be fine. She will be perfectly fine.

Lass - Yes. Not with as much overwhelming power as Pack Mom but she'd get through it. I mean...she has formal sword training, I think she'd do okay.

Little One - Probably not. Out of the original Frosthaven romances, they are the least likely to survive. They'd put up a good fight though.

Lamb - Yes and no. Physically, she'd be just fine. Mentally, I don't know if she could do it. Slipping back into that killer mindset might just drag her under.

Chester's mate - Probably not. Out of all the new Frosthaven romances, they're the most average. They'd try though.

Harlow's roommate - No. I love them but no. Not our slightly stupid boat captain.

Caltraxus' TA - Yes and they'd hate it every step of the way. Would survive completely hungover if that was an option.

The Doctor - Probably? If not by her own merit then definitely through someone else cause everyone needs a doctor in the apocalypse.

Beau's mate - Yes. Literally fought a bear once. She will be just fine.

(The lack of fandom names for Nomad's listeners saddens me greatly. And also makes my work so much harder)

This was so dumb but I had fun so :P

Johnny Knoxville x SNL Cast Member Headcanons

A/N: Ignore the fact the SNL cast and Jackass timeline is inaccurate. This is my fantasy, and if I want Bill Hader and Johnny Knoxville to interact...THEY WILL. This is the most self-indulgent thing I have ever written.

[Johnny Knoxville x G!N Reader]

Warnings: None. SFW.

Words: 601

The two of you hit it off instantly when he hosted Saturday Night Live. It was evident to everyone that he preferred your sketches, even pitching for you to be the second lead. Not caring that it was painfully obvious he was flirting with you. 

“So, I was thinking you and Bill can—” 

“Actually, can you be in it, doll?” 

After the week concludes, the two of you promise to stay in contact. You’re constantly talking over the phone and flying out to each other's cities. So it’s no surprise to your SNL friends and the Jackass guys when you announce you’re dating. 

During breaks, you fly down to LA, making several appearances in episodes of Jackass as a background character. Despite your longing to join in your boyfriend’s antics, Knoxville never allows you in the stunts. In fear of you getting injured. 

“Can’t have that pretty face of yours telling jokes with a bruised eye,” 

However, in the first Jackass, you finally appear in a stunt pranking your SNL family. 

“HI! I’m Y/N, and welcome to Studio 8H,” 

You and the Jackass group are running around, using shopping carts to crash into cast members’ offices. 

“Dave, why don't you leave a gift for Fred on his couch,” 

We all know Lorne Michaels wanted Knoxville to join the cast, so he doesn’t mind when Knox is around during the week or rehearsals. Or when you “accidentally” write sketches that are made for Johnny to be featured. 

“...So you don’t want Seth to play the character or Andy. So, who do you want to play them?”

“Well…there’s one person I have in mind,”

“It’s Johnny, isn’t it,”

“No—yes, it’s Johnny,” 

Both groups love your relationship. 

Your SNL family adores Johnny and has also hopped on the trend of writing sketches for him when he’s around or pritching stunts for him to feature in Jackass. 

“Y/N! Show Johnny this stunt I wrote for him,” 

“Will, this isn’t a stunt,” Scanning the script, you laugh at the proposal. “This is five pages of you and Knoxville going on a romantic date. I’m not going to let you steal my boyfriend." Snatching the script, Will mutters about knowing him first before storming into his office. Queue Jason Sudekis and Andy Samberg tossing their text seeing you reject Will Forte. 

The Jackass guys think you are the funniest person and constantly ask you to join their group. 

“Come on, Y/N, leave SNL and join us,” 

“No, Steveo, I would like to stay alive for my third season,” 

“Your loss,” He said, swallowing a goldfish. “You can replace Knoxville.” 

You convince Lorne to let Knoxville host again, and it’s the most-viewed episode of the season. The cast and writers write sketches that showcase not only you and Knox’s comedic chemistry but also romantic chemistry. 

Somehow the romantic date sketch Will wrote made it into the show. Of course, Will takes the opportunity to make you a waiter that gets obliterated by food and has to fall onto tables and chairs. Knox has one hell of a time pretending to be on a date with Will—occasionally breaking character from the insanity. 

In the green room, Johnny lets you know he only has eyes for you. The appreciation makes you late for your appearance on Weekend Update. 

Seth makes sure to comment on your shortness of breath and disheveled appearance. 

“You alright, Y/N? You seem to be out of breath,” 

“Long walk.”

“It’s five feet…and you rolled over.” 

Naturally, you and Johnny are infatuated with one another, despite being on opposite ends of the comedic spectrum.

Larry Taylor was born in 1942 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He grew up in a family and community that emphasized the importance of military service. His great-great-grandfather fought in the Civil War, his great-uncle in World War I and his father and uncles in World War II. 

Larry Taylor joined the U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Upon graduation in June 1966, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Reserve, then joined the regular Army in August, volunteering as an armor officer. 

He joined the U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Upon graduation in June 1966, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Reserve, then joined the regular Army in August, volunteering as an armor officer. After graduating from the U.S. Army Armor School at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Taylor quickly realized he was better suited to be a pilot than an armor officer. He had already obtained a fixed-wing pilot's license before joining the Army and thought that experience would make it easier to learn rotary-wing flying. 

After receiving permission to train as a helicopter pilot, he attended the U.S. Army Primary Helicopter School at Fort Wolters, Texas, and then advanced helicopter training at Fort Rucker (renamed Fort Novosel in 2023), Alabama, where he qualified as an Army aviator in June 1967.

Taylor served in Vietnam from August 1967 to August 1968, flying some of the first Bell AH1-G Cobra attack helicopters in combat. Serving with D Troop (Air), 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 1st Infantry Division, Taylor flew over 2,000 combat missions in UH-1 and Cobra helicopters. He was engaged by enemy fire 340 times and was forced down five times. The U.S. Army awarded him at least 50 combat decorations, including the Silver Star, 43 Air Medals, a Bronze Star and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. He also received the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Bronze Star.

 Among his many harrowing operations, the most dangerous and frightening took place on June 18, 1968, when he rescued a four-man long range patrol team at significant risk to his own life. For his heroic actions that night, the Army awarded him the Silver Star, which President Joe Biden upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2023. Taylor concluded his military service as a captain with the 2nd Armored Cavalry in West Germany. 

After his Army service, he operated a successful roofing and sheet metal company in Chattanooga and was involved with several veterans' organizations. He has also been a generous donor to charitable nonprofit organizations in the Chattanooga area. Taylor and his wife, Toni, reside in Signal Mountain, Tennessee.

Green tea in a Coffee Shop || Chapter One

Barista!Yang Jeongin x Reader

a/n: so this is my first time publishing anything ! sorry if its ooc, i tried my best ! hoping to turn this into a fully fledged story but it may just be a few chapters haha

~~~~~~~~~

The rain pounded against the windows as Yang Jeongin stood nervously, waiting for the manager of Stay Cafe to finish his phone call. The weather was not helping his first day jitters.

“Sorry about that,” Bangchan chuckled as he hung up, rubbing the back of his neck. “Okay!” He clapped, making the younger boy jump slightly. “This is where you’ll spend most of your time until you’ve gotten the hang of everything.” He gestured to the cash register in front of them. “The baristas should have been here to train you twenty minutes ago, but they’re all pains in my ass.” He sighed before getting back on topic. “So have you worked a cafe before?” 

“No, but I have made coffee?” Jeongin said, cringing at the way it came out.

“You don’t sound so sure.” Chan laughed before placing a hand on his shoulder. “Relax, kid. You’re gonna be fine, and even if you mess up…well who cares? Mistakes are normal.” He smiled down at Jeongin, who felt very comforted. Chan had a warm presence and it was starting to put him at ease. The sound of the door opening made the two look over.

“Morning boss.” A man with black hair walked into the cafe. Even though he was soaked from the rain he still looked extremely elegant. He looked out of place in this cozy little cafe, as if he should be posing for magazine covers rather than working as a barista. His dark eyes landed on Jeongin and the younger boy noticed the mischievous sparkle they held. “New guy?” He asked Chan.

“Don’t scare him.” Chan warned and the man snorted. 

“Run while you can.” He leant over the counter to dramatically whisper to Jeongin. “The employees here…they’re-”

“They’re what?” Two other men walked in, one raising an eyebrow. The first man, a brunet, slightly scared the boy. He had a stoic demeanor and was glaring at the first guy like he was divulging the secrets of Fort Knox to Jeongin. The other man, a blond, was smiling at the first man and gave him a small wave. These men also looked far too stunning to be stuck serving coffees to strangers, but he couldn't judge. They probably had student loans to pay, like he did. 

“They’re wonderful human beings.” The first man faked a smile, and the brunet by the door rolled his eyes. 

“You’re a shitty actor.”

“And you’re stupid”

“Stupid? What are we? Five?” 

“It was either that or Cu-” Chan cleared his throat loudly, gaining the attention of all parties.

“Nice of you three to show up. Let's go, we gotta open up shop. And one of you has to train Jeongin.'' Chan ordered. They all shuffled behind the counter as Chan went to his office, not before giving Jeongin's shoulder a comforting squeeze and wishing him good luck.

“Hey.” Jeongin jumped again, finally being addressed. It was the antagonizer from before. “I’m Seungmin.” Jeongin gave him a tight lipped smile. “That’s Felix, and the one who tried to scare you is Hyunjin.” Felix greeted him with a wave and a smile, much like how he greeted Hyunjin earlier. “You know how to do math, right?”

“Seungmin!” Felix said, giggling and smacking his shoulder. “Be nice!”

“It’s a genuine question. Do you?” Jeongin nodded. “Good. You’ll be on the register. It would be smart to wait for Minho to come in so he can train you.”

“Why couldn’t I do it?” Hyunjin said, furrowing his brows.

“Because all you can do is latte art.” Seungmin said matter-of-factly. 

“I can do more than latte art!”

“Like what?” Hyunjin was about to retaliate when the door opened and a woman walked in.

“You guys do realize it's 9:10 and your sign is still flipped to closed?” She said before shaking her head to get the water out of her hair. She was holding on tightly to the strap of her bag.

“Y/n! Tell Seungmin how good I am at making coffee!” Y/n scoffed, walking up to the counter. 

“Last time I asked you to make me a drink, you gave me a cup of cold water, showed me where the tea bags were, and then told me to put it in the microwave. I can’t really back you up here, Jinnie.” Her attention went to Felix, as she smiled. Jeongin couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Everything around him seemed to move in slow motion. He noticed how she scrunched up her nose when she smiled at Felix, and how her eyes flickered between the three boys so none of them would feel left out. Except for him, and Jeongin for once was happy about being left out. He didn't want her to see him staring! He would be mortified.

“Lix, Maia just finished those brownies from the recipe you recommended and she wants you to come by the shop today and try them.” Y/n trailed off as her eyes finally moved over to Jeongin, who felt his mouth go dry. Butterflies erupted in his stomach. “Who’s this?” 

“Some new guy-”

“Yang Jeongin.” Jeongin spoke before he could stop himself, putting all attention onto him. His cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. “My name is Yang Jeongin.” He repeated, but softer this time. Y/n smiled at him. 

“Nice to meet you, Yang Jeongin. I’m Y/n. My roommate's parents own the bakery next door, so I’m here a lot.” 

“She’s Chan’s favorite employee.” Felix said with a grin. Jeongin wasn't fully processing Felix's words as he watched the way Y/n tucked some of her hair behind her ear. His heart stopped as she made eye contact with him again.

“It’s your first day, right? Sorry you got saddled with these losers.” Hyunjin dramatically put a hand over his heart.

“You wound me, Y/n. You wound me.” He said, before going limp against the counter and pretending to be dead. Felix let out a loud ‘No!’ and pretended to cry while clutching Hyunjin’s “dead” body.

“See what I mean?” That earned Y/n a swat on the arm from the now alive Hyunjin. “Good luck though! I’ll be in the booth over there if you need time away from them.” She pointed at the booth closest to the door. Jeongin smiled at her for the offer. He watched as she quickly flipped the closed sign to open for them before putting some earbuds in and pulling out a laptop. Felix started cleaning the different machines, and Hyunjin went to the bathroom to avoid setting up.

“Not even 30 minutes into his first shift and Jeongin's already got a crush.” Seungmin teased, crossing his arms. The younger boy looked at him with wide eyes and red cheeks. 

“What are you talking about?” He said incredulously. 

“Relax, dude. I’m messing with you.” He whispered that last part like it was a secret. “Besides, once you get to know her that initial phase wears off.” Hyunjin's head snapped towards Seungmin. The older boy was in on the opposite end of the room, but rushed over at the speed of light upon hearing that. He gripped Seungmins bicep tightly as he grinned like a maniac.

“Are you saying you had a crush on Y/n?” Seungmin gagged before lightly shoving Hyunjin off him. 

“God no, I mean I thought she was cool at first. You can’t even get a crush that fast it’s like…scientifically impossible.”

“Okay Dr. Kim.” Felix snickered, smiling. “We should really get to work though.” Seungmin decided he'd be the one to train Jeongin on the register. 

Since it was raining, and the cafe relied on foot traffic, his first shift was rather slow. Even though there weren't a lot of customers, the time went by rather quickly. He got to learn more about the boys, and girl, he'd be spending most of his time with. They all attended the same university, even Y/n and her roomate, which made sense since the cafe was within walking distance. Hyunjin was an art major and minored in dance, and he seemed very passionate about both. Felix was studying human relations, with the hopes to help those who are unable to help themselves. Seungmin, just like Jeongin, was a music major with a focus on vocals. The two actually had a few classes together without even realizing. According to the boys, Y/n was a marketing major and was assisting her roommate with running the bakery. The four were talking about all the different professors they've had until Y/n walked up to the counter again.

"Sorry to interrupt this bonding moment." She teased, leaning against the counter. She was so close to Jeongin that he could smell the perfume she used. She smelt like vanilla, with a small touch of mint.

"Good work day or bad work day?" Felix asked, crouching down to the cabinet that held the tea bags. Y/n let out a small sigh, picking at the skin around her nails.

"Bad. I keep getting stuck on this one part and it's driving me crazy." Felix, as if on instinct, grabbed a tea bag and immediately started making her drink. Once it was done he wrote her name on the cup with a smiley face next to it. 

"Here you go! Anything I can help with?" Y/n then started ranting about her latest class project to Felix. Jeongin tilted his head slightly at the interaction, like a confused fox. Hyunjin noticed and leaned over to whisper to him. 

"Y/n only drinks tea, she hates coffee. On good days she gets green tea, but on her bad days she gets peppermint to try and cheer herself up." 

When Jeongin went home later he made sure to write that down so he wouldn’t forget.

Thanks for the tag @hbyrde36!

WIP Weekend 😻

I usually say absolutely nothing about a fic until it's really, really ready to go. Like Michael Scott says:

So this is a departure for me to even entertain doing something like this, I feel so exposed, lol. We'll see how it goes. I'm trying to be social. And to not be so secretive about my ongoing writing. That's just my personality though, I can't help it! Lock it down like Fort Knox! Tell no one! 🤣

I'm also going to marry this with the WIP Title Tag Game that @mentallyundone tagged me in the other day I and I didn't get done on Wednesday. Sorry! But I appreciated you tagging me, even if I'm late to the party. (Story of my life, haha.) So you can just ask me something about these files if you want to. No promises on how much I'll tell. 🤐😏

Rules 📝

In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post.

WIPS 🗃️

My file names are often my fic names, at least what I think they'll be at the time. They do change. But maybe being so formal is weird? Either way, one of these I've gotten...pretty far into it. Like, I think it's happening. The other? Still a baby of an idea. No clue if it'll be anything in the end.

The Snippet ✂️

Steve puts the baking pan of rolls in the center of the table, on a trivet. Eddie reaches for them immediately. Steve snaps, “You’ll burn your fingers off!” “Oh, you forget, sweetheart, I’ve got calluses. These fingers feel no pain,” Eddie sasses, wiggling his fingers at Steve, but he doesn’t grab one, and has obviously decided that he will let them cool, after all. “Well, your fingers might be immune, but I’m guessing your mouth isn’t,” Steve says, walking away again, not giving much attention to Eddie’s nonsense.  Eddie turns his head, grinning like a fool as he watches Steve go.  Gareth smiles. This is what home sounds like. Them bantering. Their love.

Okay. Hopefully I did that right. I'm not tagging anyone because I don't really know anyone that well yet, lol. But anyone that wants to, please do it if you want to! ❤️

[j0kers-light]

do you think joker has ANY phobias? or if he were to what would it be?

Hey hi anon, hope your day was wonderful! This ask was tricky. You had me thinking hard with this one! Took me six hours to answer.. Okay!

A phobia by definition is an overwhelming and debilitating fear. The fact that Joker is a textbook psychopath, I doubt he would fear anything. He looks death in the eye and laughs BUT! I thought to myself; everyone has a fear (whether you’re aware of it or not) Joker could perhaps just hide his exceptionally well. 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️ So! Google to the rescue! avoids triggering my own phobia while researching and fails.

Philophobia: Fear of love.

I think this phobia would fit Joker the best if he has one. He keeps people at a distance, hence his secret identity, emotional barriers, etc. Make no mistake, he can interact romantically with others i.e touch, kiss, have sex.. but psychologically, he’s absolutely terrified of opening up to someone emotionally like commitment and all that heavy stuff that’s required for a relationship. This man’s heart is locked up tighter than Fort Knox. And before you ask Joker was with Harley but he never truly loved her so that don’t count.

We don’t acknowledge toxic relationships over chere!

No one has ever gotten close enough except *cough cough* Y/n (take that Quinn) to thaw out his heart and tear down his defenses, which is why he constantly pushes her away. Rome wasn’t built in a day and Y/n got five long months to get Joker to love.

I feel like he would fear love and being loved back. Sometimes you fear what you don’t understand.

SOMEONE SHOW OUR BABY SOME LOVE! PLEASE IM BEGGING AT THIS POINT!! 😭

Home for the holidays

Chapter 2:

Later that frosty night, a mysterious figure crept closer to a sleeping toddler with wicked delight shimmering in their shadowy eyes.

Anya and Ruslan were sleeping soundly as the masked individual cautiously used a suction cup handle to hold the plane of the window in place as they cut a circle out of the glass with a burning hot laser.

They skillfully removed the cut of circular glass and tossed it to the ground in reckless abandon.

It is not like this shadowy kidnapper would stick around very long after he captured the child from peaceful slumber.

A few moments later, after the glass shattered loudly five floors below the newly cut window,

The thief roughly removes the bandie from her traveling crib. Bandie cries out as she’s jolted from her pleasant dreams.

“Shh. Time to meet your uncle.” the shadowy figure hushed the crying child as they disappeared from the side of the hotel building.

There was no clue, Riddle, or taunting note left behind for Ruslan and Anya to discover in the empty crib.

The vanishing cry woke up Anya first. The blonde detective sat upright in a jolted motion.

“Ruslan.!” She muttered in annoyance under her breath.

She swiftly climbed out of bed to check on Bandie. Unfortunately, for Anya, the crib lay bare.

“YA sobirayus' ubit' Lavernu. Ona pokhitila svoyego rebenka, i, chestno govorya, mne bylo vse ravno” anya snarled in russian. She stared at the hole in the hotel room’s window.

This speech woke up Ruslan as Anya only spoke Russian when she was fuming in anger.

“You know that I don't speak Russian,” Ruslan grumbled as he joined Anya in her investigation.

He stood behind her, peering over her shoulder.

“Did Laverna steal the baby?” Ruslan asked with a shrug of his shoulders. He was still sleepy, and his brain hadn't fully awoken.

If it were, he wouldn't be so relaxed about his daughter being missing.

“I said, I will kill Laverna as she kidnapped her baby and I honestly don’t care.” Anya explained back to Ruslan in English as she gritted her teeth in annoyance.

It finally dawned on Ruslan: he was quick to agree with anyone whom he felt like had seniority on the matter.

He just nodded in compliance as the two didn’t even bother to do a proper investigation on the disappearance of two year old Bandie Child.

Back at the Bonnie and Clyde hideout.

Laverna is sound asleep curled up in devlin’s arms.

When they awoke to a loud knocking on the door.

A wide smile appeared across devlin’s freckled face as he shot out of bed.

Devlin slipped on his housecoat to check on the rumbuckous knocking at the front door.

“Baby, stay warm, I will be right back.” Devlin said before kissing Laverna's forehead. He dashed out of the bedroom and down the concrete stairs towards the front door.

Laverna rolled her eyes at the notion of staying all cozy warm in the soft fuzzy bed.

She slipped out of the covers and much to her surprise , she was in her red and white pinstripe button down pajamas and not the suit she was wearing before the cider took her worries away.

“He must have changed my clothes while I was out cold.” Laverna thought as she snuck into the other bedroom to check on the status of sixteen year old A.J Miles.

Laverna closed the door only for Devlin to yell out.

“Babe, we have company, get down here

“Sheesh. Don’t wake the neighbors. “. Laverna complained loudly as she stormed downstairs only to meet the grayish blue eyes of a strange woman. This blonde spiral permed vixen of a woman stood by a man which bore a faint resemblance to Devlin. If only, Devlin had a Walt Disney style mustache and was in his early thirties. “Laverna, meet my brother Rob and My sister in law Dara.” Devlin cheekily introduced Laverna to this couple that’s clothes shimmered like the bars of gold in Fort Knox.

“Oh she dares alright, dares to be all plastic and silicone.” Laverna whipped causing Dara to snarl

“And you are just a flat chested thief,”. Dara harshly snapped back. Devlin looked at his older brother and rolled his eyes.

Laverna anxiously reached up to cover herself.

“I’m not flat.” Laverna muttered under her breath trying to regain composure. Where was her manners at this time of night? What sort of crazy family just barges into your hideout at two in the morning?. Her body shivered from the adrenaline spiking from the altercation.

Devlin wrapped his arm over her shoulder in a protective, comforting moment
