You've seen its counterpart, now get ready for:

Trilonyte - The Drowsy Pokémon! (#70)

Type: Rock/Bug Ability: Groggy Height: 1' 8" / 0.5 m Weight: 15.4 lbs / 7.0 kg

Trilonyte is a Fossil Pokémon, obtained by first retrieving and then reviving the Molt Fossil at the Clefton Museum of Natural History (but be careful - Trilonyte is exclusive to Pokémon Steel)! With what is known today about its behaviors, many scientists consider it to be a minor miracle that any Pokémon of this species survived to adulthood. Trilonyte sleeps a whopping 20 hours a day, and spends the rest of its time wishing it could be asleep. It is often seen using the protrusion on its tail as a pillow and dozing by the riverbank and relaxing under its soft, plush shell. It relies mostly on Bivoutel to protect it, though they hardly fair much better, and are usually asleep right beside them.

Both Trilonyte and its evolution have the Signature Ability Groggy. Every turn, a Pokémon with Groggy has a 1/12 chance of gaining the Sleep status. Groggy cannot trigger while the Pokémon is already asleep, but can while it has a different status effect.

If it manages to survive long enough, it become Bivoutel. The corresponding fossil Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Flint is Ikivac, which you can read about here.

For a behind-the-scenes look at this Pokémon, read below!

I think that this Pokémon is by and far the one I have struggled the most with designing so far. I knew I had to do an isotelus Pokémon (for the state fossil of Ohio), but much like how I was reticent to make a dunkleoestus Pokémon because of Relicanth and Dracovish/Arctovish, I was also feeling wary because it felt like Kabuto and Wimpod had the market cornered with trilobite-esque Pokémon. But, after a lot of work, I'm fairly happy with the result.

The spark of inspiration was twofold. The first part was this weird thought I had where I realized that the overlapping layers of a trilobite's shell kind of look like a sleeping bag. I actually designed Bivoutel first because of this idea, though it ended up not looking like a base stage Fossil Pokémon. The second was that there are two already-existing Pokémon with really good stats that have horrible Abilities: Archeops, a Fossil Pokémon, and Golisopod. I figured that if I'm going to make a guy that looks similar to Wimpod anyway, I might as well go whole hog. You can only get so wet, right? So, with Archen's ability lowering your stats and Wimpod's swapping you out involuntarily, I completed the trio of undesirable Pokémon effects by just having him fall asleep. And like those two, don't worry, its evolution is going to have, like... a 580 BST.

There's not too much to say about their design, other than I struggled with it for a weird amount of time. It's hard to tell, but they're supposed to have a striped pattern on their shell, like a security blanket. Maybe I should have gone for a baby blue color, like Linus's blanket? Oh well. Either way, just for fun, here's the drafting process for this little guy. You can see in the bottom of the first picture, I toyed with the idea of giving them a long, dress-like shell to more accurately reflect a blanket, and even a horn that looks like a nightcap at one point. In the second, you can see my first go at his pillow tail, which went less well than I would have wanted.

Greetings by Region: German

Greetings are an essential part of human interaction, serving as a means to establish connections, express respect, and foster relationships. They carry a cultural significance that varies from one region to another, reflecting the uniqueness of each community. In this article, we will explore the art of greetings in the German culture, shedding light on their importance and diverse expressions.

Understanding the Importance of Greetings

The Role of Greetings in Communication Greetings are more than mere pleasantries; they act as an icebreaker in conversations and lay the foundation for meaningful interactions. They set the tone for the communication that follows and demonstrate politeness and respect towards the other person. Cultural Significance of Greetings In every culture, greetings embody the values and traditions upheld by its people. They are an embodiment of societal norms and convey the history and heritage of the community. Greetings are a reflection of the collective identity of a culture.

Greetings in the German Culture

German greetings are characterized by a blend of formality and warmth, emphasizing respect for individuals and their personal space. Here are some common verbal and non-verbal greetings found in Germany: Common Verbal Greetings - "Hallo" (Hello): A simple and casual greeting used in various settings, be it among friends, family, or acquaintances. - "Guten Morgen" (Good morning) / "Guten Tag" (Good day) / "Guten Abend" (Good evening): These greetings are time-specific, showing attentiveness to the appropriate time of day. - "Wie geht es Ihnen?" (How are you?): A polite and formal way to inquire about someone's well-being. Non-Verbal Greetings and Gestures - Handshake: A firm handshake is a common form of greeting, especially in formal settings. - Cheek Kissing: In social gatherings, friends may greet each other with a kiss on each cheek. - Eye Contact: Maintaining eye contact during greetings shows sincerity and interest. Greetings for Different Occasions German culture also has specific greetings for various occasions. For instance, "Frohe Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) and "Frohes neues Jahr" (Happy New Year) are commonly used during the respective holidays.

Formal and Informal Greetings

Formal Greetings In formal settings, such as business meetings or when addressing elders, Germans tend to use titles and last names. For example, "Herr" (Mr.) or "Frau" (Mrs.) followed by the last name. Informal Greetings Among friends and peers, informal greetings are more relaxed and often accompanied by the person's first name. For instance, "Hallo Peter."

Greetings in Business Settings

In German business culture, handshakes and maintaining eye contact are crucial during greetings. Addressing individuals by their professional titles demonstrates respect, and small talk before diving into business matters is common.

Greetings in Social Gatherings

When attending social gatherings or events, cheek kissing or hugging may be appropriate among close friends. Germans place value on personal relationships, and greetings contribute to strengthening social bonds.

Cross-Cultural Considerations

Do's and Don'ts When interacting with Germans or people from different cultures, it is essential to be mindful of the following: - Do: Offer a firm handshake and make eye contact during greetings. - Do: Use titles and last names in formal settings. - Don't: Hug or kiss someone unless you share a close relationship. Avoiding Cultural Misunderstandings Understanding the cultural nuances of greetings can prevent misunderstandings. While Germans may seem reserved at first, they appreciate polite and respectful interactions.

Unique German Greetings

Regional Variations Germany's diverse regions may have unique greetings and traditions. For example, in Bavaria, "Grüß Gott" is a common greeting, while in the north, "Moin" is used for both "hello" and "goodbye." Seasonal Greetings During seasonal festivities like Oktoberfest or Karneval, Germans have special greetings that capture the spirit of the celebrations.

The Impact of Technology on Greetings

Greetings in the Digital Age Advancements in technology have brought changes to the way greetings are exchanged. Emails, social media, and instant messaging have become popular platforms for sending greetings. Virtual Greetings and Etiquette With the rise of virtual meetings and remote work, understanding the etiquette of virtual greetings is crucial in maintaining professionalism and rapport.

Conclusion

Greetings in the German culture reflect the nation's emphasis on respect, warmth, and tradition. From common verbal greetings to regional variations, the diverse expressions of greetings make interactions in Germany a unique and enriching experience.

Understanding the nuances of German greetings and embracing cross-cultural considerations foster meaningful connections that transcend boundaries.

And they were roommates

(Captain John price x F!reader)

Summary: the captain wants somewhere more homely to settle down and when an offer like yours comes alight on Zillow he must take up on it.

Warnings: oral smut, sexual comments, awko moments, kissing?

part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6- part 7 - part 8 - Part 9!!

————————

It was the best night of sleep John price has ever had in his life. He wishes deeply his early bird tendencies hadn’t woken him from it. You lay facing opposite of him with his chest pressed snuggly up against your back spooning you. He thought he was dreaming at first, or maybe he died and went to heaven, but your steady breathing and warm skin was much too authentic for that. 

He gently brushes the hair from your neck to kiss at the smooth skin, not in means to wake you, simply cause he just can’t help himself. 

“Goodmorning.”

“Didn’t mean to wake you.” He says while peppering kisses up to your jaw.

“Are you sure?” 

“Not anymore.” You turn over in your spot to face him, he’s a big man, a wall, even as he lays down. He peers down at you as you place a hand on his cheek. 

to your misfortune he’s borderline obsessed. 

“Shower with me?” He asks.

“Sure.” He pulls you with him as he rolls to get off the bed. He’s about to walk into his bathroom to get it started when he realizes you're about to walk out of his room.

“Where are you going?”

“To get my shampoo and conditioner.” 

“I have shampoo and conditioner.” You laugh, confusing him.

“John, I'm a hairstylist, I wouldn’t be caught dead using head and shoulders. I’ll be back.” He watches you leave, still not completely sure what you mean by that.

When you return steam has already filled the roof of the bathroom. You carry your toiletries in both your arms trying not to let anything drop. 

When John takes notice he goes to help you, except you’re not focused on the help he’s offering, you're focused on his bare chest, strong arms and slightly soft belly.

“There will be time for staring doll just not right now.” He says plucking your stuff from your hands. You roll your eyes at him trying to suppress the blush climbing up your neck. 

He undresses fully and steps inside waiting for you to do the same. Suddenly you feel awfully nervous while lifting your shirt. You pause when it gets to your rib cage suddenly feeling self conscious.

“You okay?” He notices your absence and peeks out of the glass door.

“Uh yeah.” You say, willing yourself to pull it over your head. Your pants come off next and you pray soap gets into his eyes so he doesn’t really look at you. 

You step in trying to keep your eyes on his out of politeness even though it feels like your eyes are magnets and the other magnet is in his southern region. He turns the two of you so you're the one mostly under the shower stream. His lustful gaze can’t help but look at the way the water runs down your shoulders and over your breasts.

“You’re shameless.” You say to him with a smile, you couldn’t feel self conscious under a gaze like that.

“Very.” He replies while leaning in for a kiss. He’s awfully warm, the shower at a temperature you like and one he’s not used to, but he couldn’t care less as long as he gets to have you like this. 

“Can I wash your hair?” You ask.

“If you let me wash yours.” You hum in agreement, grabbing your overly expensive bottle of shampoo and pouring some into his hands. You tell him to lather it in his hands before he puts it in your hair and he entertains it even though he bets it does nothing. Lacing his fingers through your hair he watches the way your shoulders relax and your mouth slightly parts. He tries to stop it, really he does, but he can’t help the way his cock begins to harden. He prays you don’t notice, not because he’s insecure, it’s a totally normal human reaction, but because he doesn’t want you to think he can’t enjoy a wholesome moment without getting turned on. 

“Feels good.” You sigh out as he begins to rinse it out. A groan is threatening to spill out and with all his might he is fighting it. 

When you open your eyes you notice the stone cold expression on his face. The way it looks like his eye slightly twitches for a second. And just like his human tendencies have troubled him yours too make you look down to see what may be the biggest dick in your life resting against his lower stomach. 

You look back up quicker than you looked down and it seems he hadn’t noticed. 

“Your turn.” You say scooting closely by each other so now he stands under the water. 

“I’m going to use my shampoo so you can see the difference.” You say as you pour some in your hands. It’s a bit of a reach to get all of his head so he slightly lowers it for you. You run your slightly long fingernails on his head scratching soothingly. He groans at the immensely good and foreign feeling as you make sure to not miss any hair. 

When you’re done he begins to rinse and this is the chance you take to really look at him from head to toe. Do you feel a little perverted, yeah you do.

“Look who has the staring problem now.” If John’s going to do anything he’s going to own it. 

“Who?” You say as you stand on your tip toes for a kiss. He gladly obliges, holding your head at an easier angle for him. You place a hand on his chest, which is normal, nothing that’d raise suspicion. Until it starts slowly dragging down his body. 

He's pulled apart from your swollen lips carefully watching your fingers continue to trail down. When they reach his happy trail you hesitate.

“Go on.” He says softly.

Your fingers softly brush against the soft velvety skin of his awfully gorgeous cock. Your mouth instinctively watering at the sight, and his falling open at the tease.

You grip him in a mostly closed fist giving a gentle squeeze. His hips jolt slightly forward as a pearl of precum appears at the tip. Impatiently you swipe the pad of your thumb over it bringing it to your lips. You sigh softly at the salty taste, spitting into your palm you bring your hand back down to his cock. You give him a firm stroke as your hand slightly shakes. His groans and shut eyes encourage you to continue. You find a steady pace as your hand dedicates itself to providing him pleasure. He tries to control his breathing but it loses its pattern when you quietly moan at the way it twitches in your grip. 

“You're so pretty.” You say quietly.

“Me or my cock?” He sighs out breathlessly 

“Both.” 

“Can I try my mouth?” You ask kindly he chuckles not humorously simply cause he can’t believe this is real life.

“I mean I don’t have too.” You say suddenly which he objects too.

“No, please.” He says watching the way your eyes light up. You waste no time lowering your knees onto the tile floor not caring about how they might hurt later on. 

You grab him eagerly, in your lustful subconscious nature you paint your lips with the tip. He squeezes his eyes closed to try and calm himself down but you’re doing nothing to help his case. 

“I’m losing it up here doll.” He says while leaning a hand against the wall for support. You begin to lick and suckle just to get comfortable, planning a course of action in your head.

Then you take him fully into your mouth bit by bit. His girth causes the dry corners of your mouth to slightly crack. Your eyes close as you try to focus. The sounds of slurping as you try to take him fully is sinful. He watches drool run down your chin and water droplets fall down your whole body almost cinematically. 

“You’re a sight.” He groans out when you pull him from your mouth to simply kiss from base to tip. It’s never been done to him and he would’ve never thought of it, but after that he’s not sure anything else can occupy his mind.

You suck him back in, determined to make him come. You might just want it as much as him. You're putting in your best work, ignoring the ache in your jaw. He has a hand on your cheek stroking the tears that fall from your eyes away. He tries to stop himself from thrusting into your mouth as your hand on his thigh flexes subconsciously. 

He’s so close but is greedily holding it in to keep his cock in your mouth for a bit longer. Your eye lashes bat up at him to watch his slackened features grunt and moan your name. With lidded eyes he watches the hand that once rested on your thigh slide down in between your legs, as you moan into him when he sees the way you slightly part them to give yourself an easier access.

“Mmmf fuck.” You hadn’t expected it quite yet, lost in your pleasure and his. 

He pulls from your mouth as his cum splashes onto your lips, cheek and for his personal pleasure your breasts. When he’s done he pulls you from the floor, sucking your slick fingers into his mouth with a satisfied groan before kissing you long and hard. It’s a mix of you and him as he pulls your tongue into his mouth. His thumbs rub his spend into your cheek like it’s a facial cream as he looks in your big eyes. 

“Shall we finish this elsewhere?” He says with a hand resting on the curve in your waist.

“As much as I’d love to, we can’t, I have to go grocery shopping and have to buy and restock some things at work.” You say with a small smile.

“But you haven’t gotten to finish?” He says with a little discontent.

“I don't need to.” You say giving him another quick kiss.

“That’s crazy.” 

“Make it up to me another time?” 

“Oh, yes” he couldn’t have been quicker with his answer.

“Very well then.” You laugh, grabbing your loofah which he plucks from your hands to pour soap on. He washes you tenderly, kissing every spot of your skin he swipes the sudsy soap over. He can’t help the way his eyes threaten to water at how ethereal you are to him. Call it the post clarity or whatever you want but he wants to put you in his pocket and take you everywhere. 

He doesn’t let you reciprocate the favor but does let you wash his back when the time comes. He leaves the water on for you as he steps out to grab his towel. When he returns with yours you turn it off and wrap yourself in it. 

You dress right then and there in the clothes you brought to his bathroom so you don’t have to suffer the cold. Grabbing your hair dryer to plug it in telling John to watch out for the noise. He dresses quickly and goes to the bathroom standing beside you at the his and hers sink. 

He puts on his beard oil keeping in mind that it’ll need a trim sometime this week. After that he just stands there and watches you do your thing. Admires the fact it’s being done in his bathroom. 

“May I join you?” He says amongst the noise. You click off the hair dryer after asking him “huh” for the second time so he repeats himself a third. 

“Of course.” You smile feeling a little giddy at the fact you’ll have his company. John’s not a man who seems to like to go out much nonetheless shopping. 

“Be ready in twenty?” He asks. 

“Yeah I’m just going to finish drying my hair and put on some makeup.” He nods, walking up to you to kiss your cheek before heading outside for a quick smoke.  

When you’re done he’s sitting on the couch watching whatever is on the news. You call for him from the front door and hear the silence from him clicking off the tv and his footsteps begin to approach you.

“Can I drive?” You ask hopefully.

“No.” 

The weather is beginning to become more livable and sunny. You settle into the seat as he shuts the door and gets in himself. Your hand rests above his on your thigh as the radio hums music. There is something so dreamlike about the feeling he has around you. Like the air is smoother and easier to breathe. 

“Where are we stopping first?” He asks, breaking the comfortable silence.

“My work so I can see what I need, beauty store, then groceries.” 

“Okay just let me know where to go once we get near.” He says giving your leg a gentle squeeze. You nod to him as his focus returns back to the road.

He gets out with you at your job, walks you inside passing up all the private booths of other hairstylists as you lead him into yours. He sits patiently on the chair a client would usually occupy and watches you take product out, put it back and write some stuff down. 

“Okay you ready.”

“Only if you are.” He says as you grab his hand and your purse to walk back out. That’s before you’re stopped by one of your coworkers who’s just walked out of her booth. 

“Hey, who’s this?” She asks, giving you a hug and nodding to John. 

“This is John, my roommate.” You reply softly as his hand on your waist tightens.

“Nice to meet you.” He says kindly.

“Yeah you too, so just roommates then?” You wish you could rewind time and keep her stuck in that room a little longer. Cause truthfully you and John technically still were just roommates.

“Um yeah.” You say trying to end this conversation. She glances down to his hand on your waist and then slowly back up you.

“Okay then, have a good day.” She says walking past the both of you. 

John hadn’t realized till this very moment that he hadn’t asked you to be his girlfriend or anything official. It’s actually kind of a sickening thought to him that you're not really his. I mean in a perfect world you’d walk around with his name above your head in neon lighting. So he conspires, he’ll drop you off at your little beauty store, leave quickly, buy flowers and cute things, hide them in his car, pick you up and go grocery shopping and cook dinner with you and ask you to officially be his. 

“John you okay?” You laugh as you wait for him to unlock the car. 

“Yeah doll sorry.” He says snapping out of it.

———

You're genuinely a little confused when he tells you he’s got some business to take care of real quick and drives away after you’ve made it inside. Not that you mind, you’ve shopped alone for forever now and it’s kinda therapeutic but it’s unusual. No more than twenty minutes pass by as you continue looking at all the new products from beloved brands that the doorbell jingles as someone walks inside. You don’t look up nor really pay it any mind till strong arms encompass you.

“Where’d you go?” You say looking up at him and the foolish smile on his face.

“Just handling some business.”

“Okay, I’m trying to decide between this conditioner or this one. I love the scent of this one but love the lather on this one.” You say holding up to large bottles showcasing them. 

“Buy both and mix em’.” He says grabbing them from you as he also takes the slightly heavy basket from your hands.

“Yeah right that’s way too self indulgent.” You say while trying to make up your mind. 

“Can I just buy them for you?” You look up at him in disbelief.

“Absolutely not.” You quickly decline his very generous offer.

“Why not?”

“Cause I’m a big girl who has money and should be able to pick a product.”

“I never said you weren’t a big girl with money, I just don’t see the need for you to choose when you can have both.” He retorts back. 

“No I’ll just get this one, fan favorite.” You say hesitantly putting it back and putting one in the basket then looking at your list to see what’s next. He lets you disappear into another aisle before grabbing it back off the shelf and hiding it under the other stuff in your cart. 

You shop for a while longer before heading to the cashier as the lady rings up your items. She makes small talk with you about your day and what not. As she nears the last items John asks you to run to the back of the store for that beard stuff he uses and you quickly do. She finishes up before you make it back and he happily takes his card out and pays for your stuff. 

“I don’t know which one because they all look the same.” you say handing him three different types of the same brand.

“It’s this one.” He says giving it to the cashier along with the extra two. 

“Wait John, where's my stuff?” You ask a little confused.

“In those bags.” He says nonchalantly as he pays for his one item telling the lady to have a good day. 

“I’ll pay you back.” You say as he grabs the bags, heading to the door and pushing it open with his back. 

“Don’t worry about it.” He says ignoring your persistence. 

“I am worried about it.” The bill on your restocks is always over six hundred dollars and you cringe at the idea of him spending that on you. 

“Well don’t.” He shrugs as he hands them to you once you're sat too put in the backseat. There’s no room for disapproval as he shuts your door and heads to his side. 

————-

“Have you been drinking my oat milk?” You ask him as you pass the dairy section in the grocery mart. 

“Oat milk?” 

“Yeah the one in the yellowish carton.” 

“I mean yeah I’ve been drinking it but I just thought it was flavored milk.” 

“No, it's non-dairy, made out of oats.” Although that slightly disgusts him he doesn’t say anything cause he’d enjoyed it up until now. 

You continue to shop around picking up things that you need and different snacks to try. You hate grocery shopping more often than you need to so now’s the time to stock up. 

“Can you grab that for me?” You say point at the top of a shelf for the detergent you use. He does with no complaints as he effortlessly plucks it off the shelf. 

You’re never out of his eyeline, he watches your every move along with everyone around the two of you. Although you don’t stray far from him it wouldn’t even be an option. He tried to trap you between him and the cart that he pushes but unfortunately you escaped quickly. 

“I pay this time, you pay the next.” He says as you load stuff up onto the belt. Although he knows you wouldn’t pay for a thing in his presence. 

“Deal.” It sounds fair to you. Once again he very happily pays and puts the grocery bags into the cart as you stand there and admire him. When you guys are done he tells you to sit inside and hands you his keys as he loads the stuff into the truck.

The drive home is mostly silent. His fingers trail shapes onto your clothed skin as you scroll on your phone looking at other people’s lives through a screen. He peeks over at you from time to time and you smile when you notice. 

When you pull into the driveway you begin to unbuckle your seatbelt and grab your purse. 

“Go on inside I can take our stuff in.” He says, not wanting you to see the stuff he has back there. 

“You know I can help, right?” 

“Yeah but you don’t need to.” He says leaning in for a kiss which you gladly entertain. His mustache scratches your upper lip slightly, it's becoming something you love.

“Ever the gentleman.” You say as he pulls away. 

“For you, always.” If you weren’t experiencing this first hand you’d be giggling and kicking your feet at the thought. 

“Okay.” You say smiling way too hard, something that’s been a recurring situation.

————-

“How do you like it cooked?” You say as you finish seasoning the steaks you guys bought at the store for tonight’s dinner. 

“Medium rare.” He replies, nearly drooling at the sight of you, hair messily put up, apron tied around your waist, as you concentrate all your attention on what’s in front of you. 

“Mkay.” You slightly sway your hips to the tune of the small radio playing music. 

“How’d you learn how to cook?” He asks.

“By spending a lot of time by myself and having a cook book obsession.” He smiles, very you esque.

“I’ll be back in a short minute.” He says as you move onto chopping potatoes. You nod in response as he walks down the hallway. 

As quietly as possible he sneaks back out to his car to grab the flowers, vase and earrings he bought you. And brings it inside walking slowly to his room. You’re too lost in thought to hear a thing. Potatoes in the pot of boiling water and steak in the pan. Your mind was occupied with one not over cooking anything and two not getting splashed by hot butter. 

“John.” You call out. You're thankful he heard you with one yell as he came down the hallway. 

“Yeah doll.” You turn to look at him and tilt your head in confusion when you see a leaf stuck to his half shirt.

“Was just going to ask for help in dumping the water.” You say ignoring it. 

“Of course.” He says walking up to you grabbing the mitts you offer him that were a bit too small for his large hands. He picks up the heavy pot with ease as he drains it. 

“Were you outside or something?” You say noticing another leaf on his pants. 

“No, why?” He asks as he sets the pot back on the burner.

“You have leaves on you.” 

“Oh not to worry, must've gotten there when I brought the groceries inside earlier.” 

After that you pay it no mind as he returns back to whatever he’s doing. You finish cooking and set the table for you two. You plate the food and call for him again. He panicked when he heard you, although he’s going to wait till after dinner. What if you say no? What if you're not ready for a relationship, let alone with him.

“John.” You yell again, he hears your footsteps coming towards him and quickly leaves his bedroom.

“Sorry, I was just picking up.” You know for a fact it wasn’t messy when you guys left. Regardless he follows you back down the hallway and into the kitchen. You two sit in your now assigned seats.

“Looks great, Thankyou doll.” He says caressing your chin affectionately.

“You're welcome.” You watch him take his first bite waiting before you take yours, gauging his reaction then getting distracted by how wide his legs spread out, so much so that they peek out from under the table. 

“Keep looking at me like that and I’ll have to enjoy dessert first.” You look away quickly, beginning to eat your own food. The first 5 minutes is silence that’s filled with chews and clinking. 

“I think I’ll reopen bookings next month.” You say randomly as the reoccurring thought occupies your mind. You took some time off work to get some rest and have been enjoying it too much.

“That’s interesting, what for?” You laugh softly before looking up at him. 

“Because living isn’t free?” It could be for you, he thinks. 

“I could always pick up more bills.” He doesn’t want to push the topic knowing you don’t like to talk about it.

“Or I could just get back to work.” That’s your way of ending the conversation, he ends up finishing way before you do and sits back with a satisfied sigh chatting about some kind of camera he wants to put outside.

“I’m full.” You say pushing your plate away. You’re about to stand up and collect the plates before he stops you.

“Allow me.” He says grabbing them and setting them inside the sink, he washes them quickly and puts them in the drying rack before turning to do the pans you used. 

He’s deep in thought about how he’s going to ask you but  snaps out of it when he feels two arms wrap around his waist and slide under his shirt, then your head on his mid back. It’s so subtle yet so affectionate and foreign to Jonathan Price that he just wants to melt.

“You smell good.” You whisper as you stick your nose deeper into his shirt.

“Thank you?” He laughs.

“I’m sleepy.” You say as he reaches for the kitchen towel to dry his hands.

“Well before we head to bed I’ve got something for you.” Your head perks up curiously. He turns around and smiles softly at your drowsy eyes yet wide smile.

“What?” 

“Well follow me and I’ll show you.” He’s wringing his hands as you both walk toward his room.

“Okay, close your eyes.” He says and you do.

You're both in his room now, you hear him shuffling things around or something of the sort as you stand there patiently.

“Okay, open them.” Once your eyes adjust you see him standing there with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a little box. 

“Will you be my partner?” You tilt your head at the question until you realize he’s asking you to be his girlfriend.

“Your girlfriend?” 

“Doll, I'm too old for that.” 

“Yes then I’ll be your partner.” You laugh, grabbing the flowers from him. 

“Open this.” He says handing you the small box and taking the bouquet of flowers to set them down on his dresser. Nervously you flip the top open as your eyes go wide. 

“John, these are beautiful.” You say looking at the pair of small paint brushes with a diamond as the bristles.

“Pretty things for a pretty lady.” He says reaching to push a strand of hair behind your ear.

“This is too much.” You whisper truly admiring them, for a man who doesn’t believe in fate finding those in the small jeweler right next to the flower shop is the closest he’s come to it after meeting you. 

“Nothing is too much when it comes to you, doll.” You close the box, setting it down. You look at him for a couple of seconds just admiring the man that’s been nothing but a blessing to you. 

“What?” 

“Kiss me.” It’s nothing sexual, it’s purely out of affection. The way you feel light as a feather beneath his touch, as he feels real against yours. He’s so enamored in everything you, loves the way you breathe, smell, move, laugh he’s obsessed with everything. 

You feel like the heavens have sent him to you. He’s safe, warm and everything you’ve ever wanted. He cares for you truly. He holds you tenderly and gives you all the attention you crave, and you don’t even have to ask for it. 

“Can we sleep in my room tonight?” You say when he pulls away. 

“Yeah, but why?” 

“I feel like this is too boyish for me, I need to see my plants and sleep in my matching sheets with my thousands of pillows.” He laughs as you put your vase of flowers in his hands and lead him towards your room.

💜🕯2nd Sunday of Advent - PEACE🕯💜 ✨ John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” [Matt. 3:1-12] ✨ Lord, thank You for the gift of St. John the Baptist. May his witness of humility inspire me in my Christian walk. Help me, Lord, to always point others to You rather than to myself. Jesus, I trust in You…Amen. 😇🙏🏻 ✨ Happy 2nd Sunday of Advent 😇🙏🏻💜 Repent For The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand! 🙏🏻 God bless us always 😇🙏🏻💕 • • • 📸 was taken on 7.44 am #4December2022 #Sunday #Morning #Mass #SundayMorning #GoodMorning #SundayMorningMass #SecondSundayOfAdvent #TheSecondCandle #Peace #CandleOfPeace #RepentForTheKingdomOfHeavenIsAtHand #HappySecondSundayOfAdvent #Catholic #CatholicChurch #AdventSeason #Grateful #Blessing #Blessed #ExtremelyBlessed #Bali #Indonesia #Feed #FeedInstagram #InstaFeedPost (at Paroki Roh Kudus Katedral Denpasar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clu07LgvRvA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[pokemon-goodmorn]

We'll return to the Fire starter line soon, but before that, I'd like to take a moment to introduce:

Ikivak - The Suction Pokémon! (#68)

Type: Rock/Ground Abilities: Earth Eater (Sand Veil) Height: 3' 3" / 1.0 m Weight: 69.4 lbs / 31.5 kg

Ikivak is a Fossil Pokémon, obtained by first retrieving and then reviving the Bristle Fossil at the Clefton Museum of Natural History (but be careful - Ikivak is exclusive to Pokémon Flint)! A Pokémon from prehistoric times, Ikivak roamed the Goodmorn region when it was mostly desert. Though it resembles a fish, scientists have suggested that it is, instead, a distant relative to lizards today.

Ikivak were solitary Pokémon and would propel themselves through the sand using their frontmost flippers with their mouth open and lower jaw in the sand. They would then suck in the sand, letting smaller ancient Bug-type Pokémon get caught in its grill, and the sand itself sucked through the grill and blown out of the many holes in its back. A single Ikivak can sift through up to 15,000 gallons (or 55,000 liters) of sand in a single day!

When it becomes strong enough, it becomes the mighty Vortitan. The corresponding fossil Pokémon exclusive to Pokémon Steel is Trilonyte, which you can read about here.

For a behind-the-scenes look at this Pokémon, read below!

So, Ohio has two state fossils. The first one is the official state fossil, and it's Isoltelus maximus, a type of giant trilobite that Trilonyte gets its inspiration from. The other is the official state fish fossil, which seems like a ridiculous thing for a state to have, but I digress, and that is the Dunkleoestus maximus.

As badass as the dunkleoestus is, I think it's a little played out. First, there are dozens of people much more artistically inclined than me who have made dunkleoestus Pokémon, and second, the game already has that covered with Dracovish and Relicanth. I don't think that we need another rock-plated fish in the games.

So, I took things from a slightly different angle. Yes, the dunkleoestus is the state fish fossil, but there's also at the Clefton -sorry, Cleveland Museum of Natural History the fossil of a locally-discovered titanichthys.

While it looks scary, it's nowhere near as fearsome as the dunkleoestus. These guys had big mouths, yes, but they were filter feeders, like whales. They would just swim around with their mouths wide open and let whatever was directly in front of it get sucked right on in. They didn't have a baleen, as far as I'm aware, but then, they didn't swim through sand either.

Below I've included some earlier drafts I made of this guy. On the left is my original drawing of them, which is a front on view that I'm not sure if I'm keen on. On the right is a version which gave them a pickaxe-like tail as a nod to their typing, but ultimately I went with something closer to my original design.

Osaka: Thank you for always helping me think of ways to torment Lucifer. In this region, they speak the Kansai dialect, right?
