Hello, your ao3 pfp is so cute!

For those who don't know, it's this video:

Saw some pet videos today and it got me into a mood.
Andy and Nica's pets:
Three cats:
Tumblr media
Their senior tortoiseshell, Chewbacca (Chewie) Andrew Barclay. Adopted from a shelter, they saw this elderly kitty and it was love at first sight. His namesake is from the coos he makes that can sometimes sound like the famous wookie. His middle name however, is another story. Chewie loves both of his "parents" but you can often see him in Andy's lap, making biscuits or sleeping on his chest. So Nica playfully called him "Andy Jr", and it stuck!
Chewie is a very sweet and relaxed kitty, and honestly kind of a pushover lol. He is very good around other people and will ask for lovings often.
------
Tumblr media
Here we have Arya Sassafras Barclay. A stray cat that Andy and Nica fed and fell in love with, adopting her as their own. Her namesake is from one of Nica's favorite shows (game of thrones) and Arya being one of her favorites fit this new kitty quite well. As for her middle name, Arya, despite formerly being a stray, is a bit of a diva, and even walks in a sassy way, holding herself high.
Other than her sass, Arya is less outgoing than Chewie, but ones she gets to know you well enough, you MAY pet her. Often seen snuggling both Nica AND Andy.
------
Tumblr media
And finally: Ronald Cheeseburger Barclay, or "Cheese" for short. Andy and Nica decided to get another cat and saw this adorable, quiet ginger kitty quietly sitting by itself. Yeahhh. He lied/j Imagine their surprise when they come home with McDonald's and this tiny ass cat has eaten Andy's entire burger. Hence the name, Cheeseburger.
Cheeseburger is a wacky lil fucker and a shit stirrer, often bothering his furry siblings but Nica and Andy love him all the same. Honestly, you often see him in Nica's lap, in some weird sleeping position lmao
---------
Tumblr media
And finally, meet the big sister of the pets, Tiny SweetiePie Barclay. Andy surprised Nica one night after talking for months about getting a dog, holding a little rottweiler puppy in his hands. Nica sobbed like a newborn. They decided to name her Tiny, as a joke with the big dogs and cute names, and as she was the runt of her litter. SweetiePie is just one of the many nicknames she was given by Kyle that stuck lol!
Tiny grew up to be a protective, but playful, loving dog who will TEAR A DOLL TO SHREDS for her family. She's spoiled rotten and loves to play with the cats when they let her, ESPECIALLY Cheeseburger.
The Barclays love all four pets equally, so so much, and will protect each with their lives.

Riku Nanase RabbiTube Rabbit TV Part 1: Spending Time With Riku
Part 2 | Part 3
Staff: …Now, on to the RabbiTube project.
Staff: Our plan is to introduce the videos by featuring clips on NEXT Re:vale!
Staff: We’d really appreciate it if you could show a side of yourselves that people don’t usually get to see on TV. It’s a pleasure to be working with you!
Momo: We’ve got high hopes for you guys!
Yuki: Feel free to fully expose yourselves to the public.
Mitsuki Izumi: Ahaha, please be gentle with us! Looks like I’m gonna have to do a RabbiTube study marathon..!
Gaku Yaotome: By the way, Tenn, I saw you watching RabbiTube videos the other day. Do you know any good ones?
Tenn Kujo: …I was just watching cat videos.
Gaku Yaotome: Cats, huh. That’s not gonna help us learn anything.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: …I think they might help! You could learn ways to entertain and soothe people…
Gaku Yaotome: Ryu, not all of us are gonna be able to do that…
Yuki: …I’m liking the idea of Kitty Gaku.
Tenn Kujo: …Pfft…
Gaku Yaotome: Tenn, why’re you laughing!?
Riku Nanase: Kitties..! So could it be like a video of Iori going into a cat café?
Iori Izumi: Why do I have to go to a cat café!?
Yamato Nikaido: I’m not too excited about making videos like that, either…
Tamaki Yotsuba: I wanna do a pudding tasting!
Sogo Osaka: …Personally, I’d like to rank my top 100 spices from all around the world…
Nagi Rokuya: And I shall hold a Cocona watch party!
Mitsuki Izumi: You guys aren’t bringing anything new to the table!
Iori Izumi: …Actually, I suppose animal videos do have their appeal, despite how banal they are…
Riku Nanase: Did you say something, Iori?
Iori Izumi: No, nothing.
Momo: Ahaha! Great, you’re already brainstorming ideas!
Momo: You’ve all got the right idea! We wanna see you act natural for your RabbiTubes!
Yuki: Let’s have a fun year doing this.
IDOLiSH7 & TRIGGER: Yessir! 
- - - -
Riku Nanase: We’re going to be RabbiTubers for our birthday project this year..!
Sogo Osaka: All the group chats up until now were fun, so it’s kind of a shame that we won’t be doing one this year.
Mitsuki Izumi: …Fair enough. It’ll be awesome to make videos for our fans, but I wish we could have our own celebrations too!
Yamato Nikaido: It’s become kind of a tradition by now.
Nagi Rokuya: …We do not work together as much as we used to. Though I understand that it is difficult to match all our schedules…
Tamaki Yotsuba: Do we not get to eat Mikki’s cakes this year?
Mitsuki Izumi: The cakes are the one thing we’re gonna make for sure! Right, Iori!?
Iori Izumi: Yes. I’ll help, too.
Riku Nanase: Hmm… Celebrations…
Riku Nanase: Ah! Why don’t we all go somewhere together for our birthdays?
Riku Nanase: I guess we probably can’t all go… But we can get our manager to arrange it so at least some of us can hang out!
Mitsuki Izumi: Going out, huh… That does sound like a nice change of pace from all the group RabbitChats!
Yamato Nikaido: It’s a shame that we won’t all be able to go, but getting to choose a spot does make it feel more special. …You should take me to a beer brewery, by the way.
Mitsuki Izumi: Sounds like you’ve already got one in mind!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Let’s take lots of pics and videos for the guys who can’t go. We can send them over RabbitChat.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! A wonderful idea. It will make us all feel as if we are there.
Iori Izumi: I’m sure uploading them to Rabitter would make many people happy, as well.
Sogo Osaka: That sounds fun..! Let’s ask our manager about it tomorrow.
Riku Nanase: Yep! …Looks like we’re going to have pretty fun birthdays again! 
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Wow..! This place is so cute! Where are we!?
Iori Izumi: A glamping area.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Glamping, which is a simpler, more casual form of camping, is very popular nowadays!
Nagi Rokuya: Riku, have you ever gone glamping as a child!?
Riku Nanase: As a child? Um, I don't really remember...
Iori Izumi: Let's enjoy ourselves as though we were still young children.
Nagi Rokuya: We have prepared plenty of meat and fish for the occasion! And sweets, of course...!
Nagi Rokuya: We have a long night ahead of us, Riku!
Iori Izumi: You're allowed to stay up all night, just this once. Right, Manager?
Tsumugi Takanashi: Yes! I'll do everything I can to help you.
Riku Nanase: Thank you..!
Riku Nanase: I can't believe even a killjoy like Iori is going to let me stay up late!
Iori Izumi: As long as you don't make a habit out of it. Today is a special occasion...
Riku Nanase: And thank you for all the food, Nagi! We're going to have a feast tonight!
Nagi Rokuya: YES! A forest party it shall be!
Riku Nanase: Let's get started right away!
Nagi & Iori: Yeah..! 
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Hey, Iori. How do I light this coal?
Iori Izumi: Ah, I'll take care of it, you just sit down.
Iori Izumi: I wouldn't want you to inhale the smoke...
Riku Nanase: ...Okay. Sorry for getting in the way.
Riku Nanase: Hey, Nagi. Is there anything I can help you with?
Nagi Rokuya: OH, I am in the midst of a heated battle with the dreaded Onion Demon! My eyes..! Riku, you must flee without me..!
Riku Nanase: O-okay..!
Riku Nanase: ........
Tsumugi Takanashi: Riku-san.
Riku Nanase: Ah, Manager.
Riku Nanase: It looks like all I get to do is sit tight. I was really hoping to do stuff with them, though...
Tsumugi Takanashi: Your cheeks have a bit more color than usual in them. It's probably thanks to how  stable your condition has been lately...
Riku Nanase: Ehehe. Yeah, probably.
Tsumugi Takanashi: ...Let's cook something! It'll be a surprise for Iori-san and Nagi-san!
Riku Nanase: I don't know if I'm allowed...
Tsumugi Takanashi: Of course you are. We came here for you.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Just try not to work yourself too hard, like you've already promised us!
Riku Nanase: ...Yeah. I'll make something they're sure to love!
Riku Nanase: ...Or I'll try, at the very least...
Iori Izumi: Nanase-san? What were you talking about?
Riku Nanase: It's a secret! Iori, we'll have to make dinner, right?
Iori Izumi: Right...
Nagi Rokuya: Wow, will you help prepare our supper, Riku?
Riku Nanase: Ahaha, yep, that was my plan! ...Say, let's have a competition to see which one of us can make the best food!
Iori Izumi: What? Do you seriously think you'll win against me?
Nagi Rokuya: Heh... I would not underestimate the palate I have cultivated over many years, if I were you.
Riku Nanase: Anyway, our time limit will be one hour! ...Ready, get set, start!
- - - -
Riku Nanase: ...Uh... Can I add this in as is..?
Iori Izumi: I'm begging you, please don't add it in there without at least peeling it first..!
Nagi Rokuya: Iori. Should you be looking at other people's dishes? Something smells quite foul on your end...
Iori Izumi: ...Huh? Aah..!
Riku Nanase: ...Hmm? I think I smell something burning... Wait, Iori! Your meat, it's completely scorched!
Iori Izumi: Ugh, I got careless..!
Iori Izumi: ...But Nanase-san, you didn't even cook yours properly before adding it to the sauce!
Iori Izumi: Not to mention, you left your vegetables unpeeled... It was such a trainwreck to watch that I couldn't pay attention to my own cooking!
Riku Nanase: Huh!? So you're saying it's MY fault you burned your meat!? That doesn't make any sense!
Nagi Rokuya: OH, I was hoping to enjoy a relaxing glamping excursion, yet there they are, making a mess once again.
Nagi Rokuya: Their bickering is almost like the soundtrack to my elegant gourmet cooking.
Tsumugi Takanashi: A-ahaha... 
- - - -
Riku Nanase: Finished!
Nagi Rokuya: It smells delicious!
Iori Izumi: At least we all managed to put together something. It's time to show the others what we made.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Remember to face the camera!
Riku Nanase: Okay! I made Hamburg steak stew!
Nagi Rokuya: Hamburg steak! How wonderful, Riku!
Riku Nanase: Ehehe. Pretty great, huh? You would know, considering how much you like Hamburg steak!
Iori Izumi: I'll admit that it sounds more complex than what I expected from you.
Riku Nanase: Even I can just throw stuff into a pot and cook it!
Iori Izumi: So not complex at all, then...
Riku Nanase: ...And I used frozen burgers and a ready- made sauce mix.
Nagi Rokuya: Heh, you are outing yourself as quite the lazy cook.
Nagi Rokuya: Iori, what did you make?
Iori Izumi: Beef stroganoff.
Nagi Rokuya: Wow, it looks to be of a much higher quality than a glamping trip would warrant.
Riku Nanase: That seems like a dish Yaotome-san would make, not you!
Iori Izumi: Excuse me..? I only made it because it requires little prep time, and is much simpler to actually prepare than many would think.  
Riku Nanase: What did you make, Nagi?
Nagi Rokuya: I made grilled sandwiches with ham, egg, and cheese!
Riku Nanase: Wow, the bread is so nicely browned! It looks good!
Iori Izumi: They're also very well stacked.
Nagi Rokuya: YES! I piled on the ingredients as I grilled the bread. A task so simple, even I could do it.
Riku Nanase: Is it just me, or does glamping make even simple foods look like gourmet!?
Nagi Rokuya: Heh. A fine dinner, is it not?
Riku Nanase: Yeah, it's the best..! Let's eat while it's all still hot!
Iori Izumi: Yes. ...Nanase-san, we won't stay here for very long, so I hope you'll take every chance you can to get some rest and fresh air.
Iori Izumi: We can all come here again at a later date.
Riku Nanase: ...Okay! Thank you so much for setting this all up for me. I don't think I'll ever forget this day!
Iori Izumi: You're being overly dramatic, as usual.
Nagi Rokuya: Iori, Riku! Show your best smiles, we are about to take a picture.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Here I go! Say cheese..!

Back with fixing teeth. Had pizza, went for a run.
Last week, a crispy cold one, has finally come to an end and a new one enrolled. Not that I complain, though – I liked the frozen sights and bit more uncomfortable temperatures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, as promised, I uploaded my 100 goals for this Year. It was good to write that one, as almost a month has passed and I got my first overview on how I am doing with this.
I was glad to see that my eating habits, weigh-ins and measurement takings are going well and according to new and calm schedule. I only do my weigh-in on Friday, have not taken measurements yet. 90% of the time I eat proper meals, although breakfast is still tricky for me: after waking up for 2-3 hours I have no appetite nor hunger whatsover and when I finally feel that hunger pang kicking it, it’s already a whole busy workday and I do not have the chance to take some time to prepare a healthy breakfast and sit down to actually enjoy it. Thursday was probably the worst day as I had my dentist appointment. I woke up at 7:30, did a turbo make-up, grabbed my coffee mug and water bottle and off to Tallinn I drove. In the capital I had just enough time to get to dentist on time.
Like always, my dentist visit was very enjoyable, but an emotional rollercoaster. Every time I am always prepared for the worst, that my bill will be over 300 euros and a cheap macaroni diet until the end of month will be my reality. I play through these scenarios when receiving the bill I just hurl myself on the ground to do some ugly crying and then destroy my savings account. Do I learn? Never. Every single time the bill is twice or even thrice as low and day goes on as beautiful as ever. So, on some level it is quite welcoming to go there wirh a mentality to be prepared for the worst.
My dentist is just pure amazingness! Long time ago I had a blog writing about my dental health journy from my very first appointment and setting up the health plan up to the very moment I got my braces taken off. At some point the final part was left uncompleted as my financial situation was a bit difficult. But now, as I have successfully managed to pay off my student loan and braces loar and I am no longer renting an appartment, I am back on track and can go on from wherer I left it all. I still have a few teeth to be cured and I need new teeth implantants to fill in the empty holes, left there by my teeth that needed to be pulled out to make more room for braces. So, I am thinking about 2-3k euros  more to go. Luckily, this is divided throughout the next year, as every implantant takes its time to heal and gums to be prepared.
Here’s a little reminder on my journey
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This saga gave me a proper dose of self-confidence. For example I presented my MA paper with such a high confidence I got a grade higher due to my excellent performance.
Anyway, I have a seriously cool dentist who cured me from my dentist phobia. Okay, I admit, the clinic is above average with slightly crispier prices, but it is all worth it. Rooms are so clean, cozy and they have these TVs in the ceiling where variety of nature documentaries and beautiful pictures of nature are shown. Thus, just relax, enjoy beautiful scenery and forget everything else.
So, I ran straight to dentist from bus station and when I slowly melted to dentist chair, I felt these first stomach rumbles. I was actually glad that I have finally started to notice my empty stomach and not to ignore it. I dreamt about my tasty chickpea omlette and then I remembered: I am not supposed to eat 2 hours after the appointment. And so it happened that when I finally got back to Rakvere and while I was waiting for my boyfriend, I had been without a single calorie for 19 hours. What I hated the most was this silent voice in my hear saying that I am doing good! Almost 20 hours fasted, keep going, you can go without food. But I ignored it and instead, asked the boyfriend where we should go to eat. This was my next challenge: to have someone else pick a place we can go to eat as long as it has a proper selection of vegan foods. So he chose pizza restaurant. I had not been to that place for ages since, well... pizzas, burgers... my main fear foods. In my head I was already thinking if I should take a really small rye pizza without any cheese, to save up them calories. NO! If it is pizza now, then going to go and enjoy it fully. We also ordered sweet potato fries as my Mom ensured me these were THE BEST ones she had ever had. OK, Mom,  no pressure, my hopes are high.
I wasn’t disappointed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And pizzas at that place are just to die for. Over ages we ate at the locale and not ordered take-away as we usually do, and then we eat it quickly on our laps while dricing. No emotions or enjoyment. Eating there, at the table, taking time was like a therapy. We had time, we laughed and relaxed. I enjoyed every single bite, spilled food everywhere like I usually do. I was enough full, had my energy overflowing: perfect to be prepared for our second Gym evening. Because, yes, the next goal is also slowly starting to shift together. Now, on every Monday and Thursday we go to local gym. You have no idea how I MISSED gym! And once again: no forced excercising a la I HAVE TO lose that fat on my arms, I HAVE TO balance out these pizza calories. No, just pure enjoyment of how much my body is capable to perform.
Week itself was VERY busy. My workload has started to go up again, clients are active. Thus, it has become more complicated to take my proper lunch breaks. Few times they still turned to semi-breaks with me checking mails with one eye and replying to some of them. But, my mornings and evenings are nicely in frames; I do not start my office hours before 9 nor finish it after 6 PM.
On Wednesday evening I gave one of my best BodyBalance classes. This time there were so many people to my surprise, and even 2 new faces. It turned out people in neighboring villages have heard about my classes and one actually came and was so pleased. There you have it, corona. I am glad to see that when taking precautions, there is no need to avoid physical activity, times like these it is even more important than before. I am always so happy and glad that I have this opportunity to support people with my classes.
On Tuesday, I went for a RUN, over a million years! The weather has not really agreed with me, as my winter gear is not that ideal for colder temperatues. But on Tuesday, I found a window when the temperature was bearable and I managed to put together my running gear. Main heroes were my new running steeds. And, oh my god, how AWESOME it was to run after such a long time on a really slow and easy pace. I had no expectations, goals. Just pure enjoyment of running act. I took my time and enjoyed every second. Pace was slow indeed, but I had absolutely no remorse or anger over it. And, as promised, I will take it slowly and calmly, to get back my love and passion towards running once again.
One of my goals is to rediscover my passion of baking. Baby steps. On one teanight we realized we had no cookies to munch on. We only had a jar of jam. And then I had an idea: why not make a crumble! It is the most simplest pastrys there is. Flour, butter, sugar and jam. And I ate one piece. And even a second one. And third one next morning.  See? Still alive, no visible weight gain.
Tumblr media
And then I ordered a kilo of Nutritional Yeast: a magical vegan fairy dust. I think I got my boyfriend also to love the sweet heaven of nooch. I made a classical mac n cheese with nooch cheese sauce made with boiled potatoes, carrots, spices and nooch. And again, half of the pot was empty, and not because of me :D.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall I am happy to see that green and whole plant based foods have taken most of the space in our fridge. I have not yet managed to root out the meat all in all from our housegold, but this is not my main goal at the moment. Just hoping that with mild suggestions and explanations everything not blant based will soon be left out fullest, with an excetion of our cat, Igor, who is such a picky eater he won’t have anything else than his meaty kitty foods.

Phandom Pairing Master List
      Here it is, folks! An updated/updating list of ships from Danny Phantom!
(Updated Mar. 25, 2020)
      The purpose of this list is documentation and, more importantly, reference. Have a ship that you want to share, but don’t know what to tag it as? Well, this list is for you, so you can tag your pairings appropriately! Is there a ship out there that you despise, or are just uncomfortable about? Check this list to see if it has a name, and you can blacklist its tag!
      Here’s how it’s set up: the list is divided into 3 categories. These categories are the Humans, the Ghosts, and the Ghosts/Humans; each category goes through in alphabetical order. Every pairing is either marked with [P] or [R] to indicate platonic or romantic.
      You may notice that there are a decent handful of unnamed pairings; this is simply due to me being unable to find a pre-established name and/or coming up with one at this time. I hope to update this list over time until everything has at least one name.
      Suggestions are more than welcome! Think of a pairing you didn’t see? Got a ship name? Throw them at me, and I’ll add them to the list.
      Now, without further adieu, enjoy!

How do you feel about people who make Facebook profiles for their pets? I had one for my dog, Brandie. I think it’s cute. It just makes me sad now since she’s passed away because when Facebook shares memories and it’ll be a post or photo from her account. Her page still pops up on mine, too. It’s nice seeing those memories; though, too. <3 If you drink coffee, do you have a favorite flavor & brand? If so, what? There’s this one brand, Don Francisco, that has a vanilla nut flavored coffee that is reallyyyy good. We sometimes get other flavored ones as well, like this holiday mix from Target last year that had buttery caramel, caramel macchiato, and candy cane that was good as well. Otherwise we just get a regular medium or light roast coffee, typically the McCafe brand cause it’s on sale lol. Have you ever personally known a pair of Conjoined twins? No. What is your first thought when you see people kissing in public? ”Oh they’re kissing.” lol I don’t know. Would you ever consider being a professional stunt-person? A paraplegic stunt person. That’d be interesting.
How about a Mailman? :3 No. Who would win in a fight between a grilled cheese and a taco? Taco. The hard shell could do some damage.  What do you think of people who keep exotic animals as pets? I don’t think they’re meant to be pets. Would you ever donate your body to science? Why/why not? No.  Do you think the feeling of flying a plane would be amazing? Or just scary? I have no interest in flying a plane. In hide-n-seek, what was the longest amount of time you ever stayed hiden? I have no idea. (Besides Hello kitty) Do you have a favorite Sanrio character? If so, Who? I think Sanrio stuff is cute and all, but I’m not interested in it anymore. What was the most disturbing thing you have ever heard your mother say? Uhh I don’t know. Do you flinch when strangers touch you? I most definitely would. Can you remember the first time you went to a movie theater? I don’t remember the very first time, no. I remember going as a kid to see the Pokemon movie, though. lol. If so, can you remember what movie you saw? What was it? Like I said, not the very first movie, that’s just one of the ones that comes to mind. What is one fear you DIDN’T have as a child but do now? I don’t remember my fear of holes phobia as a kid. How can you be sure that you really exist? ”I think, therefore I am.” --Rene Descartes   Is there something in particular you like to look at photos of? What is it? I mean, yeah. I enjoy looking at old photos of ours, photos of my doggo, photos of the beach and other beautiful nature photos, animals... just things I enjoy and whatever I find visually pleasing.  Do you actually like the taste of Diet Soda? I don’t mind Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper. Diet Pepsi has a really weird aftertaste to me. Would/do you carry a purse made of real leather? Nah. Describe to me your last major epiphany: I don’t recall. Do you think eating disorders are caused by a genetic predisposition? I think genetics are a component.  If not, do you believe it is the media? Or something else? Please explain. That’s a component as well. There’s a lot of factors.  What brand of toliet paper do you normally use? Charmin. Do the Charmin bears make you feel uncomfortable? xD They’re cute. “Yeah, I’m Charmin clean. That’s why my heiny’s clean.” (it’s from a commercial if you don’t know lol). On average, how many cans of soda would you say you drink daily? Zero now. For almost 2 years now, actually. I used to have one a day. I only drink some to take my medicine (I have to crush my pills, bleh). One 16 oz bottle will last me like a week cause that’s all I’m using it for. Chewy chocolate-chip cookies: like or dislike? Like. Did/do you ever stick your chewed -up gum under tables? EW NO. That’s so disgusting, please don’t do that. Can you remember the last thing you watched on the news that upset you? The news is full of upsetting things. ^If you can, will you tell me what it was? :[ What does your favorite throw blanket look like? It’s fluffy, soft, and dusty rose colored. Why do you wear that stupid man suit? ...What. How do you feel about red lipstick, is it whorish? Uh, I don’t think it’s “whorish.” What is your definition of feminism? >> I don’t have a definition. The standard dictionary definition seems to work fine. <<< What was the last toy you got in a Happy Meal? It was only like 2 years ago when I last got one, but I’m totally blanking right now.  Are you comfortable in shorts? No.  So, have you watched that Bob’s Burgers show? Do you like it? I’ve seen some of it here and there cause my family watches it, but I’m not really into it. Tell me a riddle: Describe to me a favorite memory you have with someone you met online: I miss my Jonas Brothers days when I was like 16 and had a few good friends I met through a message board and chat room. We’d talk everyday in the chat room and on IM. It was fun. Do you think your grandmother is/was beautiful? Yes.

Cutie Reviews: TokyoTreat April 20
Hello, here I am :3 bringing you guys another review. I’ve got time to kill while I wait for my Switch remotes to finish charging so that I can get back to the new Harvest Moon game. I also had this review ready for almost a week now and really should have gotten it up sooner <_< 
For anyone new or unfamiliar with my blog, I wanted to mention that item I’ve already reviewed in the past I tend to skip as a result of not having much to say about it. Unless for some reason my opinion would have changed. If you really want to know what I think about an item I skipped, you can message me and I’ll give you the details.
Tumblr media
“Sakura season is one of the most fun times in Japan! While enjoying the sakura and nature is great, hanging out with friends and enjoying picnics is the best part about spring! The weather is getting warmer and we’re heading to the park to party until late! Japanese parks light up the sakura at night to highlight their beautiful pink color, and people stay late eating, drinking, and having a great time! Wanna come too?“
Lucky Treat & Photo Prize
Tumblr media
This month’s Lucky Treat and photo prize are full of adorable Pokemon goods!
Also, the last page of the booklet discusses some items Japanese like to bring with them to sakura viewing. In the past, they would normally pack bento or handmade snacks, but lately you would see things like sakura themed drinks and sweets, to the less-likely (but super-yummy) sushi, burgers, and pizza!
Frozen Coca-Cola Lemon
Tumblr media
This is our drink this month, I was very excited. Not only because I love cola (I bought coke tic tacs if that’s any indication ;p), but because I was obsessed with lemon pepsi when I was younger, and it’s since long been discontinued. Lately, Wendy’s has been having lemon/lime cola though, and it’s amazing! I’d also recommend the strawberry Dr. Pepper if you see it. 
Anyhoozles, this is a drink meant to be put into the freezer. The back marks it as 15-20 minutes wait time, but I actually had mine in there for at least an hour and it wasn’t frozen at all. Just super cold. It could be my fault because it was nearly a year old, I’m not sure, I decided to drink it anyway. It was... it reminded me of the syrupy taste you might sometimes get while drinking a slushie. It wasn’t terrible or anything, but not exactly what I was hoping for either.
Sankaku Crackers Veg. Flavor & Ham and Potato Porickey
Tumblr media
I’ve had the first one before, so we’ll be skipping to the Porickey, which are basically savory, un-coated pocky I like to think. These were okay, but there’s barely any flavor on them; for me that’s probably a good thing because I hate ham.
Sakura Mochi Chocolate & Apple Jelly
Tumblr media
These chocolate’s I’m very familiar with, we’ve had them once or twice before. I really like them though, I wish we’d see more of this brand in the box.
Meanwhile, the apple jelly was very much new! I love little jellies like this x3 I buy a mixed pack from the store every now and then, and when I was younger my dad used to bring some home from work, so they’ve become fairly nostalgic for me now as an adult. This one was lightly sweet with a pleasant green apple flavor, it wasn’t sour or anything.
Sakura Matcha Collon & Matcha Coconut Cookies
Tumblr media
Our next two items are pretty unique, both featuring matcha/green tea flavoring. Collon is a fairly common snack item, they usually remind me of Combo’s, little pretzel snacks filled with a flavored cheese.
I don’t believe I’ve seen this flavor before, but I don’t dislike it. The box has a label on it saying fragrant sakura, which I would agree with. These have a flowery-sort of taste with a hint of green tea. The taste has been lingering in my mouth when I eat a couple, but it’s a nice taste.
Also, I like how this box they come in is re-sealable. That’s always very appreciated.
- - - - -
These cookies feature a sugary green tea glaze on top, giving them a lightly crunchy texture. They also come in a large pack composed of four smaller packs, each with so many cookies inside.
I really feel like green tea has been growing on me because as of late, I haven’t been completely repulsed by it like I used to be. However, I had no idea there was any coconut in them! They don’t taste like it at all, but that’s good for me again, because I also hate coconut! 
Sakura Sake Kit Kats & Choco-Taro
Tumblr media
These kit kats I remember clearly, not only because of their pretty pale pink coloring, but their strong alcohol taste. There is 0.7 alcohol, which is extremely weak I assume, but you should be careful with anyone under drinking age or those who cannot have it at all.
I’m not really fond of alcohol, but it’s okay for special occasions. These are pretty good, so I would recommend giving them a try if you really want something unique, as long as you can have alcohol.
- - - - -
The choco-taro, I feel like we’ve had before but I can’t entirely remember. It was a mildly sweet chocolate with a very soft, flaky inside that melts in the mouth a little. It wasn’t too remarkable, but it was good.
Chicken Ramen Snacks & Cabbage Chips
Tumblr media
Nothing new here, moving on~
Taro Beans, Pollock Umaibo & Soy Sauce and Butter Popcorn
Tumblr media
Umaibo isn’t new, and I can’t really recall if we’ve had the taro beans or not before. Kinda feel like we have, but basically they’re little crunchy, slightly salted crackers.
- - - -
The popcorn meanwhile, is a product of Fritolay under the Mike brand. They were pretty good, they tasted mostly like butter, with maybe a hint of soy sauce. They seemed to go stale a little quickly after opening though.
Ramune Candies, Burger Gummy, & Hello Kitty Sakura Candy
Tumblr media
Sorry guys, this last pic is kinda mehhh. I accidentally deleted the original because I assumed it had been uploaded onto the computer like my others. For some reason it didn’t work. I don’t have the burger gummy in this picture now, but you’re not missing much. It was hard and unpleasant due to being so old, so after a few chews it pretty much got thrown away.
- - - - -
Our next item is this cute little pack of ramune candies, which are pressed powdered tablets. When put in water or in the mouth they dissolve, and this specific brand includes a variety of flavors, each with a cute design on the front.
Before when I had these, I had melon, so I was very happy to get a new one, more or less my most favorite fruit x3 These are lightly sweet and delicious. The melon was good too, but I think I like this one a bit more. They also come in grape, lemon, and orange.
- - - - -
Our final item is a pack of sakura-shaped hard candies, available in cherry, orange, and apple! The packaging features adorable hello kitty designs and pretty flowers. The candies are very yummy too, the orange one tasted like orange soda pop, and the cherry doesn’t taste medicinal. I haven’t tried apple yet, but I assume it’ll be really good.
♥ Cutie Ranking ♥
Content - 4 out of 5. I liked everything, and only one or two items suffered from aging I think, but only the one was actually inedible in my personal opinion. A bit repetitive, but not overwhelming. Two items in this box were present in their prior sakura-themed boxes if I recall right. 
Theme - 4 out of 5. Yeah I’d say they fit the snacking theme perfectly well, there’s nothing to really complain. But if I had to, I would say that they weren’t as on point as usual with this theme as they were in prior years.
Total Rank: 8 out of 10. I really don’t have too much to leave with this time around. It featured a pleasant mix of unique snacks with more common/basic flavors, so there was something for everyone. I kinda wish they included some more savory items, but I think they cut down because of how much they were featured in March’s box.

10 of the Best Merlots for 2021
Merlot, the classic French grape that is an indispensable component to Bordeaux, is finally making a comeback in the United States after being unceremoniously trashed by Paul Giamatti’s wine snob in “Sideways.” While that 2004 film is credited with a notable drop in Merlot sales, it may have also signaled that American Merlot producers needed some tough love to shake them out of late-20th century complacency.
If you’ve been wary of Merlot, fear not. With low tannins and typical notes of blueberry, dark chocolate, and cracked pepper, Merlot is known as an easy-drinking wine that plays well with a variety of foods. To help highlight some outstanding bottles, we’ve pulled together a list of the best we’ve tried in the past six months. The wines on this list all scored a 90 or above in our wine reviews, and are arranged by score and price.
Here are 10 of the best Merlots you can buy right now, with reviews by VinePair tastings director Keith Beavers.
Iconic Wines Sidekick Merlot 2017
For those who think they don’t like Merlot: Don’t miss this bottle. This is a great California red composed predominantly of Merlot, with 15 percent Cabernet Franc. The soft, plush textures of Merlot wash over the palate, while a warming perception of wood smoke and cedar swims through the wine, mingling with cracked black pepper. We recommend drinking this wine with a lean steak or roasted chicken, but a plate of local meats and cheeses paired with some good company will make this wine really shine. Average price: $18.
See Review
Early Mountain “Soif” 2019
If you want to know what it’s like sipping young, juicy reds with a slight chill at a Parisian café, this American wine will take you there. It is juicy and herby, a balance it receives from the Merlot, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc. Get a cheese plate, make a steak tartare, fry up some homemade pomme frites, and slurp down this wine. You’ll keep coming back. Average price: $26
See Review
Long Meadow Ranch Merlot 2016
Varietal Merlot is an American tradition. We may have messed it up for a while, but this bottle shows why we once fell in love with Merlot. There is a wonderful balance between fruit, tannins, and impeccable acidity. Welcome to slight hints of aromas that will remind you of a forest in autumn, cracked black pepper on the savory side, and a kiss of blueberry. The palate is elegant yet powerful, with the fruit core tight and harmonious. Grill up a skirt steak or just pop it with good friends at a wine and cheese night. Average price: $37
See Review
Château Lassègue Les Cadrans de Lassègue 2016
This wine is still aging, but it’s drinking well now. The tannin is still a little ornery and will soften in a year or so, but it smells like ripe blackberries fresh off the vine and freshly turned soil. This wine would be divine with the texture of roasted pork. Average price: $31
See Review
Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum Toscana IGT 2016
If you need a change from the red blends you’re currently drinking, give this Bordeaux blend from Italy a chance. It has the powerful depth of fruit and grippy tannins you love and heightens everything on the palate with good acidity. This is a wonderfully balanced wine that can go a few more years in the bottle but can also be enjoyed now. Average price: $32
See Review
Gundlach-Bundschu Estate Vineyard Merlot 2016
This is such a classic, beautiful, and full-bodied American Merlot. The nose will remind you of walking by a coffee shop while eating blueberry gelato. The palate has some heft while still having a silky and easy mouthfeel. This bottle would go very well with light meats like roasted chicken, but also pairs wonderfully with local cheese, meats, and sunset-watching. Average price: $32
See Review
Sotheby’s Saint-Emilion 2017
This bottle provides one of the purest expressions of Merlot without requiring you to spend the full kitty. It is elegant, young, and fruit-forward. This wine has aromas that will remind you of a forest in autumn as the leaves change, as well as the concentration of cranberries and cherries. The palate has a nice pop of cola (like cherry cola) and a well-balanced tannin structure gripping your palate with a gentle release. Wine lovers: This is Merlot. Average price: $35
See Review
King Family Vineyards Meritage 2016
Virginia wine is coming along so well. The only setback is that most of it is only available via e-commerce, but some, like this bottle, are well worth your time and money online. This is a wonderful, full-bodied, Bordeaux-style blend with depth and aromas that will call to mind blackberries, cracked black pepper, and cassis. It’s just under 14 percent alcohol, which is a perfect environment for the wine to show its layers as it opened in the glass. Average price: $36
See Review
Mayacamas Vineyards Mount Veeder Merlot 2016
This is one elegant American Merlot — maybe one of the most elegant I’ve tasted. But it’s not ready. Mayacamas has made an age-worthy Merlot, and I’m dancing in my seat as I type this. In a year or two, this wine is going to be silky and medium-bodied, with blueberry and soft vanilla on the nose. It is going to have a seamless tannin structure, with lively acidity to lift off the palate. In a year or so, buy the best lamb you can find, grill it up, and pop this with close friends. Average price: $64
See Review
Pasaeli ‘6N’ 2019
This wine is so fun and different. It smells like cinnamon, herbs, and raspberries and has soft, chewy acidity. It’s very unique and balanced. This is a great wine to take to a wine club or buy a case of to have on hand for lunch. I would drink this with a BLT or burger.

Chapter 1: Matteo di Girasole
Matt smiled thinly as he straightened his tie. He was exhausted after this long day, but he has had this meeting on his radar for two weeks now so skipping was not an option, regardless of how much he wanted to go home and curl up on the couch with his fiance, whining about his long day while Mike would give one of his magical foot-rubs. Maybe Ace would even be willing to lower himself to some cuddles - though knowing their arrogant kitty-cat, he’d lift his tail and walk away from Matt as he did every day. They really needed to get a more cuddly and nice kitten.
“Mister di Girasole, I’m so glad you could make it.”
Matt did his best to fill out his smile to that ‘a hundred watt smile of yours, sunshine’, as his fiance liked to call it. Sonia Gold looked stunning as always. Honestly, the woman was a little scary in just how perfect she appeared all the time. Not a hair out of place on her honey-blonde hair, jade-green eyes sparkling as she smiled at him politely, the white suit not having a single unwanted wrinkle.
“Miss Gold. It’s a pleasure to finally meet in person”, replied Matt and reached out for her.
She raised one eyebrow as she smiled at him. This woman was top-notch, a businesswoman nearly unmatched. Matt had a lot of respect for her, he had done plenty of research before setting up this meeting.
“I have to admit, this is... not the kind of location I expected to be taken for a business dinner with the CEO of Chiron Training”, drawled Sonia.
She looked wearily at the establishment they had met at. Matt smiled pleasantly as he pushed the door open and motioned ofr her to go ahead. He instantly felt a bit more relaxed in this familiar environment. The “home away from home”, as Mike liked to call it because the couple spent so much time here.
“I find the... high-class establishments to be too stuffy. And too many noisy people with ears of interest trying to listen into the deals made there”, replied Matt casually. “Not to mention, this place has the best burgers I’ve ever eaten.”
Sonia chuckled amused and followed, clearly intrigued by this odd approach. The bartender looked up from where she was wiping down the bar, broad grin on her freckled face as she recognized Matt.
“Left the better half at home today, eh?”, called the young woman out.
“Jessica”, greeted Matt with a short nod. “Table for two?”
“Take yer pick”, replied Jessica, wildly gesturing around the nearly empty pub.
“The Saint John’s is the preferred place to eat for me and my fiance”, elaborated Matt as he went to his regular table.
It was still pretty early so the Irish pub was practically empty aside from Jessica behind the bar and two of the elderly regulars who enjoyed a good lamb stew for dinner. Matt nodded at them in greeting as he pulled a chair back for Sonia.
“I was pleasantly surprised to hear from you, Mister di Girasole”, stated Sonia as Matt sat down opposite her. “There’s been rumors about you looking for a new ad campaign.”
Matt hummed in confirmation as they opened their menus. He was the CEO and founder of one of the biggest sports-equipment companies world wide - Chiron Training. They were currently ironing out a new image of sorts. A new ad campaign, a new face to the name. For that, he was seeking out a new partner to work on said campaign. He had his PA go through all possible advertisement companies.
And Tanya was very thorough with everything she did. She had also found out from Sonia’s assistant that Sonia Gold tended to order burgers for lunch when frustrated. Which meant that burgers were her comfort food. So taking her here, that was strategical. Also, Matt really loved the burgers here - and the view.
“What can I get for you?”, asked Jessica curiously.
“The same as always”, replied Matt with a small smile.
Sonia hummed as she went through the menu. “Oh. Mh. I’ll go with a double-cheese bacon burger. And I suppose... an ice tea.”
Jessica saluted them and turned around to pass the order on to the kitchen.
“I want a... broader campaign”, started Matt. “We’ve been mainly defined by America’s favorite passtime and all things ball-game.”
“Something that speaks to more than just the teenage boys and dads of those?”, chuckled Sonia amused.
Matt confirmed with a gentle hum. “I’ve seen the wonders you did with other firms.”
The two of them talked shop for a couple minutes until the owner and cook of the pub personally brought their meals. The pub wasn't very hands-on with the staff, it was run by the Saint John siblings and though they had some hands to help them behind the bar and in the kitchen, it was mainly just them. They had one waitress, but mainly it was a system of ordering at the bar and self-pickup. Occasionally, James Saint John - or Jamie, as he preferred to be called (and by ‘preferred', Matt really meant that Jamie's sister had enforced the nickname and made sure everybody used it until Jamie accepted his fate) - would bring them their food personally, if there wasn't a lot going on. Matt liked to read a little more into it though. He turned to offer Jamie a charming smile.
Oh, how was that guy allowed to be this pretty? His gentle, reddish-brown curls framed his face at chin-length, freckles adored his pale skin and then there were his dark, gentle green eyes. Jamie returned Matt’s smile, his pale cheeks darkening just a little. It was cute how easy the other man could be flustered considering he was about a head taller than Matt and athletic.
“Thank you, Jamie”, said Matt, voice soft.
“What can I say? You rich folks bring me and my sister good money. Have to keep you entertained”, grinned Jamie teasingly. “Enjoy your food.”
Matt’s eyes lingered on Jamie’s retreating form. It wasn’t his fault that Jamie’s retreating form included that heart-shaped butt in the tight leather-pants. Sonia opposite him cleared her throat. Her jade eyes were sharp and calculating.
“If you brought me to your boy toy’s bar to make him feel like ‘you really want to include him and you’re so going to leave your fiance for him, you swear’, then I will take this burger and any negotiations off the table and leave”, warned Sonia.
Matt blinked slowly, stunned. Was he truly that transparent? He had always prided himself on his schooled features and his good poker-face. Sure, Mike could read him - but the two of them had been dating for years now - and Mike’s sister, because she was ‘exposed to the both of them far too often’. But this woman, who had known him for half an hour now...?
Well, her sharp perception was one of the reasons he had picked her. She was wonderful at analyzing every situation and accessing it. It was what made her so good at her job.
And that sharp and short threat was the final reason why he had picked her.
Tanya, the brilliant genius of a Private Assistant that she was, had gathered all the intel needed and then some more. Sonia Gold had a strong sense of moral and she always followed her moral compass, even if it cost her money. She had once slapped a million dollar deal into her business partner’s face after the jerk had made crude comments about Sonia’s PA for ‘not making up her-his-its damn mind’ (from Tanya, he knew that Sonia’s PA was genderfluid).
Sonia Gold held her business to the Gold Standard and she herself lived it too.
That was the kind of person and firm Matt wanted to work with. He offered her a bemused smile over the rim of his glass. A good thing that he knew she was also trustworthy, wouldn’t share gossip and secrets for her own gain, due to her moral compass.
“Not an affair, I assure you, Miss Gold”, drawled Matt lowly. “More a... shared interest of my fiance’s and mine.”
Sonia raised one elegant eyebrow, looking at him intensely as though she was trying to detect a lie. When she deemed it the truth, she lifted her burger up to take a bite.
“Oh, you weren’t lying about that either”, hummed Sonia pleased. “This might just be the best burger I’ve ever eaten.”
“It’s the home-made barbeque sauce”, stated Matt seriously and with a light grin. “Now, do you think we can continue with business?”
“I suppose”, mused Sonia. “Though I’d love to meet your fiance some time. Perhaps we can set something up to celebrate the deal we’re going to negotiate now. A double-date.”
“That sounds wonderful. I’m sure Michael would love it”, replied Matt with a charming smile.
By the time the rough outlines for the deal stood and Matt finally returned home, it was long dark and his prediction about Ace proved to be true. The unfaithful cat didn’t even look at him with his ass. Matt huffed offended as the cat continued sleeping while he made his way past the couch.
“Caro, sono a casa”, called Matt out softly before sighing. “...If you’re still awake.” [Italian trans: Honey, I’m home]
“Mh... Whazzat?”, slurred a tired, sleep-rough voice.
A messy mop of black hair emerged from the couch. Matt smiled softly. He should have known. Even with an early shift tomorrow, Mike would still wait for him. Running his fingers through his hair, he loosened the bun in the base of his neck and let his collarbone-long hair fall free while stalking up to his fiance. Mike still looked drowsy, the unshaved scruff giving him that rough edge that Matt loved so much. Straddling Mike’s waist, Matt leaned down to kiss the sleepy man.
“Buona sera, mi amore”, whispered Matt gently. [Italian trans; Good evening, my love]
“Right back at cha”, yawned Mike with a pleased grin.
He wrapped his strong arms around Matt’s waist, pulling him down. Sighing contently, Matt snuggled up to his fiance’s chest, finally able to relax for the day. Mike started gently running his fingers through Matt’s hair in that way that made Matt go lax.
“How was the meeting, sunshine?”, asked Mike. “Twas an important one, right? With that silver lady?”
“Gold lady”, correted Matt with soft amusement. “And I think it went pretty well. She wants to meet you. Double date with her and her boyfriend Sander.”
“Mh...”, grunted Mike, kissing the top of Matt’s head. “See. Knew you’d rock this, babe.”
Matt snorted in fond amusement and tucked his head under Mike’s chin. “How was your day? Locked a lot of bad guys up? Got a headache from Rick again?”
The groan escaping Mike’s lips told Matt that yes, Rick had given him a hard time. Not that it was actually serious. Mike and Rick had been partners since the day they graduated the police academy and they were so inseparable that Matt was about 95% sure that they were obligated to name their firstborn child after Rick at this point.
“We ran so late that I couldn’t get lunch because of a stupid case”, muttered Mike, sounding like he was pouting.
“Mh. You missed out on the dark-red leather-pants”, whispered Matt teasingly.
Mike groaned again, pinching Matt’s ass. “Don’t tease. Brat.”
Matt yelped and laughed. Mike and Rick spending their lunch at the Saint John’s Pub was how they had even learned about the establishment and how they had met Jamie. Though it had taken Mike months before he had dared to take Matt there the first time and then some more weeks before he had admitted  to having a giant crush on Jamie. At that point, Matt was already gone himself.
“What are my chances that you’ll carry me to bed, amore?”, asked Matt hopefully.
“...We’re gonna sleep on the couch tonight. It’s why we bought a super expensive, giant-ass couch”, grunted Mike seriously.
Matt sighed and grabbed the blanket from the backrest of the couch and pulled it over himself and his fiance. Both of them were too tired to get up or to get changed. And Mike was right, this was why they had bought the expensive couch.
“Buona notte e sogni d’oro”, whispered Matt, kissing Mike’s collarbone. [Italian trans: Good night and sweet dreams]
“Mhmh, night, sunshine”, replied Mike, kissing the top of Matt’s head.

A story about love //Chapter 2// (Vatya/Trixya) - Polly
Authors note: Heartbreak, Heartbreak for everyone.
Song: Give me Love - Ed Sheeran (Trixie)
Summary: This is not a love story. This is a story about love.
Trixie: Give me Love
Trixie and Katya are in the club and Trixie doesn’t know why. For some reason Violet has talked Katya into coming to see her perform and Katya has dragged Trixie along.
Seeing Violet perform has been great, she was a fucking professional after all but Trixie was confused as to why Violet has asked them to come in the first place. Trixie hasn’t seen her at all after her performance.
But then there she is, completely de-dragged and giggling and hanging off some man’s shoulder while looking down at a sitting Trixie and Katya.
“Soooo,” she says while gesturing between Trixie and Katya. “Here they are. Guys, this is Johnny,” she giggles and the man, admittedly attractive tightens his grip on Violet’s waist for a moment before squeezing himself between Katya and Trixie on the booth, pulling Violet onto his lap in the process. Violet sits on his lap sideways and her back is turned towards Katya. Trixie shifts uncomfortably when the man, Johnny, addresses her.
“I saw you perform last month and you were so so amazing,” he says with a massive smile on his face and Violet giggles again and Trixie can tell that Violet has had a few drinks.
“Thanks,” Trixie replies, hoping that the conversation will be over soon.
But apparently neither Johnny nor Violet seem to be sharing that sentiment.
“I especially liked that part where you talked about your teen years-” Violet giggles again and Trixie raises her eyebrows. How drunk exactly was Violet?
Trixie watches on as Johnny keeps talking about Trixie’s performance, Violet burying her head into his neck and Katya abruptly standing up.
“I’m actually gonna get drinks. What do you guys want?” she says.
“Just water,” Trixie says while looking at Katya, trying to read her facial expression but she can’t.
“Me too,” Johnny says before smiling and running a hand down Violet’s back.
“Violet?” Katya says after a moment.
Violet tears her face off of the man’s neck and looks at Katya with a small smile while Katya is looking back at her in frustration. “What?” Violet cooes.
“Do you want a drink?” Katya asks again, keeping her eyes fixated on Violet.
They look at each other for a moment, unreadable expressions on both of their faces before Violet breaks out into a small smirk. “No, I’m good. Very good. Thanks for asking, babe.” She winks at Katya before turning her head back to face Johnny.
Trixie looks at Katya who looks at the back of Violet’s head and the look on her face sends a shiver down Trixie’s spine. Katya quickly turns around and makes her way to the bar.
// Give me love like her //
Trixie watches amused as Violet is complaining to someone about the heat in the damn club.
She is already out of drag and watches as Violet removes the layers of make up from her face.
Someone walks into the room with a tray of shots and places it next to Violet.
“Tracy,” Violet smirks. “Drink with me.”
Fucking Violet always trying to get her drunk. Trixie particularly remembers a night two years back when Trixie had been in Atlanta and Violet had been determined to get Trixie to loosen up and to ‘get it and then some’. Instead of ending the night with a handsome stranger she had ended it on Violet Chachki’s couch, puking her guts out while Violet lazily and helplessly patted her back. She hadn’t let Trixie live that down, constantly talking about how Trixie had ruined her favourite shoes and how tragic Trixie’s prudishness and non tolerance for alcohol was. But she had stayed awake and next to Trixie the whole night to make sure that Trixie would be alright and wouldn’t choke on her own vomit. Secretly a nice person, Trixie thinks while looking at Violet now.
Trixie really doesn’t want to drink with Violet but she could do with the distraction.
This is the first time Trixie is spending time alone with Violet since she moved to L.A. Usually Katya would be with them but she has a gig out of town and maybe Trixie is just a little bit glad. While she would love to have Katya here, for her laugh to fill the room, she could do without spending time with Violet and Katya at the same time. They’re acting weird around each other. Glances that last too long, inside jokes and momentary awkwardness. And it’s weird. There’s no denying that and Trixie wonders what it is about.
Katya and Violet have been doing this fuck buddies thing on and off for as long as Trixie has known them and they never had problems with being friends. But something has changed and Trixie isn’t sure if she actually wants to know what happened last summer, too afraid of the answer.
So she moves towards Violet and knocks the shot back.
Distraction only lasts so long. They’re four shots in when Violet brings up Katya. She had been going on about hook up stories for the past 20 minutes so Katya was bound to be brought up and Trixie has not been anticipating it. She has no desire to know about the details of all the sexual encounters her boyfriend and her friend had shared. It is weird enough to know that they were still talking to each other after all the times they had sex. Trixie doesn’t understand how they were able to do that. Have sex without the feelings. Well, not entirely, she knew they cared about each other, maybe even more than she had previously thought, but she didn’t get how they could fuck so many times without falling in love.
“Does Katya still do the tongue thing?” Violet slurs with a devilish grin on her face.
“Oh my god,” Trixie murmurs before looking away from Violet’s face.
Violet lets out a small laugh before pinching Trixie’s waist. “What come on! Don’t be like that. We had the same dick inside us. So we’ve pretty much had sex. Nothing’s off limits,” Violet laughs again and Trixie looks at her for a moment, almost impressed by that bullshit logic.
“You know what’s fascinating about sex with Katya?” Violet continues.
“I’m not talking to you about sex with Katya,” Trixie says with urgency. She doesn’t want to know. She really fucking doesn’t want to know what they did in bed. She doesn’t want to know about all the kinky shit Violet probably let Katya do to her and wonder if that is what Katya wants.
Violet ignores her. “Isn’t it weird how fucking dominant and possessive she is in bed but then after she’s all soft cuddles all night?”
Pang. There it is. Trixie blinks a few times at this revelation.
Katya doesn’t like cuddling after sex. She doesn’t, she doesn’t, she doesn’t. She can’t. They have never cuddled all night.
She fastly looks back at Violet. “Yeah.. interesting,” she brings out before digging through her purse, pretending to look for something. What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck? They cuddled after sex?
On the rare occasion Trixie did allow herself to get weirded out by Violet’s and Katya’s shared past, she always imagined it as sex and then one of them leaving right after. They had cuddled after. They had stayed in bed and had cuddled. They had stayed in bed and had cuddled all night.
It would be easier if Violet would’ve said that just to wind her up but knowing Violet she was probably genuinely interested in whatever was going through Katya’s mind during sex and genuinely wanted Trixie’s input on the matter.
She’s not lying. Trixie knows that. She’s not trying to manipulate her, she genuinely thinks that this is how Katya is always in bed and somehow that makes everything worse. Trixie feels sick to her stomach.
// And that tonight I’ll call ya After my blood is drowning in alcohol No I just wanna hold ya //
Katya picks up after the third ring.
“You never told me you like cuddling after sex.” Trixie wants to sound angry but instead her voice is shaking and she just sounds hurt. There’s tears collecting in the corners of her eyes and she tries to blink them away. She’s too drunk and she’s reacting way too impulsively and she regrets the call already.
“What? Trix? Where are you? Are you ok?” Katya’s voice is thick with concern and it just makes everything even worse.
“I’m on my way home,” Trixie brings out between sobs.
“Are you crying? What happened? Are you ok? Trixie?!” Katya’s voice is shrill with panic now.
Trixie takes a few deep breaths. She’s overreacting. Nothing is going on, Katya loves her. She loves her. It’s fine, they are fine.
“Just a bit drunk and emotional. It’s fine,” she says.
There’s a pause at the other end and Trixie knows that Katya doesn’t believe her. She hears her let out a deep sigh. “Let me stay with you on the phone until you get home, okay? I need to know you’re safe.”
“Okay,” Trixie whispers and lets Katya’s voice lead her home.
And then there she is the next day. At Trixie’s apartment door, dark circles under her eyes and a worried expression on her face. Her hair is wet, she must have went home and showered before she came here. Trixie pulls her into her arms and holds her as tight as she can. Katya hesitates for a moment, unsure of what this is about, but then she pulls Trixie against her, their bodies pressed together.
// You know I’ll fight my corner //
Violet lets out a laugh and Trixie looks up from her plate.
“I asked for no mushrooms,” Katya says, sounding genuinely offended.
Violet grins at Katya while Katya stares at her burger bewildered and Trixie let’s out a laugh too.
“Awww, is Kitty Kat upset that they put mushrooms on her burger anyway?” Violet cooes. Kitty Kat? Trixie’s smile drops at the nickname. She had never heard Violet use it before. Katya is not showing any reaction to it and Trixie hopes that there’s no reaction because she is too preoccupied with her burger and not because she has heard it before.
“Swap burgers with me,” Katya says while reaching for Violets plate.
“What? No. Take Trixie’s.”
“Hers is vegetarian.”
“Mine has cheese.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s my burger and I like cheese. Get your hands off my plate,” Violet laughs while Katya is trying to grab her plate and Trixie doesn’t know what to think. They’re acting like an old married couple right now and those dynamics definitely hadn’t been there all along. She has been paying more attention to them since she had been at the club with Violet and it’s just confusing her more and more.
Katya finally gets ahold of Violets plate and takes the top bun of her burger off to shovel all her mushrooms onto Violet’s plate before handing it back to her and picking her burger up.
“Wait.” Trixie watched on in horror as Violet quickly slips her hand in between Katya’s mouth and the burger, slightly brushing Katya’s lips in the process. “There you go,” Violet says before dropping the mushroom into her mouth and picking her own burger up. Trixie looks at Katya, searching for any sign of discomfort or confusion but there was none. None. She just briefly glances at Violet with a thankful smile before finally biting into her own burger and Trixie wanted to just stand up and leave.
Katya must have noticed her bewildered looks. “Did you want the mushrooms? I thought those were the ones you didn’t like.”
“No, it’s fine.” Trixie presses out before giving her full attention to the burger, trying to ignore Katya’s gaze on her.
Trixie looks at Violet who looks as if she’s trying to press her entire burger into her mouth while also shovelling Katya’s mushrooms into her mouth in between bites.
“Are you trying to set a record or something?” Trixie grins.
Violet lets out a laugh, some food still in her mouth.
“Attractive,” Katya mutters under her breath with a grin.
“Shut up,” Violet lightly slaps Katya on the arm before looking at Trixie with a glint in her eye. “I have somewhere to be after this if you know what I mean.” She picks her burger up again and goes back to taking giant bites of it.
“Hot date?” Trixie asks with raised eyebrows while trying to ignore Katya’s hand that’s suddenly on her thigh.
Violet nods before swallowing. “Johnny is picking me up.”
“The guy from the club?” And Trixie doesn’t like the tone in Katya’s voice one bit.
Violet just nods again.
“Are you dating him?” Trixie asks and she’s a bit glad at this revelation.
Violet grins at her. “Well, ‘dating’ is a strong word. We don’t talk much,” she lets out a laugh and Katya digs her fingers into Trixie’s thigh. Trixie takes Katya’s hand away and Katya glances at her confused.
Johnny comes inside to get Violet and she slams some money on the table before standing up and letting herself be wrapped into his arms for a moment.
She quickly glances at Trixie and Katya. “So, bye.” She winks at them before grabbing Johnny’s hand and dragging them out of the restaurant.
“We should go too,” Katya says and leans against Trixie, letting her hand run up her thigh.
// All I want is the taste that your lips allow //
They are giggling while they’re stumbling into Katya’s apartment and Katya presses her lips onto Trixie’s hungrily. Trixie wraps her arms around Katya’s neck and pulls their bodies even closer. She tries to concentrate on right here, right now. On Katya’s hands slipping under her shirt. On her lips on her own, on her tongue dancing with Trixie’s, on the feeling of her skin under her touch.
//give me love like never before//
Katya leads them to the bedroom and fastly removes both of their shirts before ushering Trixie onto the bed and climbing on top of her.
She leans down and kisses her again with urgency. With a lot of urgency, like she has a goal in mind. Katya’s face when Violet left with Johnny is playing in Trixie’s head on repeat and Katya is pressing onto her so hard and her hands are digging into Trixie’s hips forcefully while Katya’s mouth is on her neck and it all feels off. Suddenly Katya’s hands feel foreign on her.
She gets ahold of Katya’s shoulders and gently pushes her away from her.
“Stop,” she says softly while letting her thumb brush over Katya’s bottom lip.
“What?” Katya asks while letting her hands run over Trixie’s sides. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah,” Trixie lies. “I just… don’t want to do this now.”
Katya blinks at her confused a few times. “Okay.”
Trixie crawls away from under her and gets out of the bed to grab her shirt.
Katya’s eyes follow her every move. “You don’t have to leave, you know?”
“I know, but I want to.”
Katya gets up from the bed and takes Trixie’s hands in her own. “Are we… Okay?”
“Of course,” Trixie sighs, running her thumb over the back of Katya’s hand.
“Then what is this about?” Katya sounds so small and insecure now and Trixie almost wants to tell her to forget about all this and for them to just lie in bed and to cuddle and to watch a movie.
“I just need to be alone and think.”
“Think?”
“Yes.”
Katya looks as if she wants to say more but decided against it. “Promise you’ll call me when you’re done thinking?” Her eyes are soft when she’s looking at Trixie and it’s messing with her mind.
“I will.” She squeezes Katya’s hands tightly and then she’s leaving her apartment.
She half expects Katya to ask her to stay, to tell her that they can talk, that she’s there for Trixie, but she just hugs Trixie tightly when they’re at the door and watches her leave.
// Give me love like her
'Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone //
Trixie wakes up alone. She has been waking up alone all week and it’s a bit strange considering that Katya and her usually spend at least a few nights a week with each other. But Trixie has been making excuses all week. They had only seen each other three days ago for a quick lunch. And yesterday. But Violet had been there too. And Trixie hadn’t stayed long because even though Katya’s arm was around Trixie’s shoulder it had felt as if Katya was there with Violet. Trixie knew that they needed to talk about this. But she didn’t want to. She didn’t want to hear about Violet, didn’t want to hear about them. Didn’t want to compare their relationship. Katya and her were fine.
‘Read U Wrote U’ was blasting in the background and Trixie was just about to get in the shower when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it to reveal Katya with a big smile that changed to a confused one when she heard the song.
“You’re actually listening to that?” she asked.
“Oh honey,” Trixie laughs, earning her an eye roll and a fond smile from Katya. “I told you that it’s in my workout playlist,” she answers before giving Katya a quick peck on the lips.
“I don’t see you working out though,” Katya smirked while entering Trixie’s apartment.
“I just came back. I’m about to take a shower.”
“Can I join?” Katya wiggles her eyebrows.
“Ehm, I’d rather you not,” Trixie laughs. “Last time you almost cracked your skull open.”
“It was fun until then.”
Trixie grinned. “Sure, but I’d rather avoid further injuries. So I’ll be back in a minute.”
When Trixie comes back from her shower, Katya was sitting on her couch and smiling at her phone.
“What are you smiling about?” Trixie asks while running a towel through her hair.
“Oh, Vi just sent me the photos from yesterday.” Katya hands Trixie her phone. There’s a few selfies the three of them had taken, the photo Violet took of Katya and Trixie and a selfie of just Violet and Katya that they must’ve taken after Trixie had left.
Trixie looks at the photo. Violet must have switched into Trixie’s seat once it wasn’t occupied anymore as her and Katya were both sitting next to each other, the red material of the booth visible behind their heads. Violet has been the one taking the photo, her back leaning against Katya’s chest and Katya has rested her head on Violet’s shoulder as they were both looking into the camera with small smiles on their faces. The photo looked weirdly intimate and Trixie has an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach when looking at it. She hands Katya her phone back.
“So how much longer did you stay after I left?”
Katya shrugs her shoulders. “A little while.”
“When did you get home?” Trixie asks.
Katya looked at her confused. “Like 3 a.m.?”
Trixie’s eyes widen. “You stayed there for three more hours? What did you even do for that long?”
Katya looks back at her with furrowed brows now. “We talked. Calm down, she’s still a bitch.”
Trixie feels taken aback for a moment. Why is Katya acting so defensive about this? Trixie crosses her arms over her chest. “I actually think she was really nice yesterday.”
Katya huffs and gets up from the couch. “Sure. Yeah… whatever.“ She says while walking towards Trixie’s kitchen to look into the fridge. “Do you want to order something to eat?”
//Give a little time to me or burn this out//
“Violet is coming here after.” Katya is wearing cigarette earrings and a cigarette necklaces combined with a wig she hadn’t teased very thoroughly and Trixie is once again in awe of the looks Katya chose to be in while filming.
“Again?” Trixie just needed a moment without Violet in the picture but that seemed to be impossible. She just needed to think but there was Violet, always showing up in Katya’s everyday life now, not giving Trixie any room to think.
Katya looks at her taken aback for a moment. “Ehm, yeah. She wanted to go thrift shopping.”
“Great.”
“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.”
“Why wouldn’t I want to go on yet another fun adventure with you and your ex?”
“My ex?”
“Hey,” Violet’s voice comes from the door. “I brought coffee.”
Violet approaches them and hands Katya a cup before turning to Trixie. “I didn’t know how much milk you take so I bought those too,” she said before handing trixie the coffee and some small plastic milk containers.
Trixie watches as Violet sits down in a corner and looks at her phone, her own coffee cup in her hand.
“Since when do you drink your coffee black?” Trixie asks.
“I don’t. She put milk in mine,” Katya answers before looking back at her phone.
“How considerate,” Trixie says and Katya looks back up with a confused expression on her face.
// Give me love like never before
Cause lately I’ve been craving more//
She wanted Katya to look at her the same way she looked at Violet. Trixie still didn’t know what exactly their dynamics were. Katya seemed to be endlessly fascinated and frustrated with Violet. Whatever it was, Violet had her full attention. And Trixie, well Trixie didn’t. And she wanted it. She wanted Katya to call her in the middle of the day to ask her what she was thinking about. She wanted her to send her good morning texts. She wanted her to cuddle her all night.
// And it’s been a while but I still feel the same //
And she couldn’t help but wanting the old times back when it was simpler. When they had just been friends. She loved Katya, loved her now, loved her then, loved sitting next to her, loved her voice on the phone, loved her laugh never failing to brighten Trixie’s day.
She had always loved all of this and she was sure she always would and she knew that Katya felt the same way. She knew that Katya loved her.
// We’ll play hide and seek to turn this around //
And yet, the smiles Katya gifted Violet with sent a pang to Trixie’s heart that she wasn’t sure she could ignore anymore.

What Do Cats Eat: 6 Common Human Foods Cats Can Eat!
Tumblr media
6 Common Human Foods CatsCan Eat! Most of your pet's diet should be nutritionally complete cat food. But you can give her a treat from your plate, every once in a while. You just need to know how to choose cat-friendly snacks, with the nutrients she needs.
Here are the top six Human Foods Cats can eat!
Number 1: Meat Cats are meat eaters. They have to have protein from meat for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are a great way to give them that. Raw or spoiled meat could make your cat sick. If you wouldn't eat it, don't give it to your pet.
Number 2: Whole Grains Oats have a lot of protein per calorie, and they're easy to make. Many cats like corn, and polenta, a coarsely ground cornmeal, has a good texture for them. You can try brown rice, barley, and wheatberries, but you may need to mash them first. Cats tend to like smaller grains like millet and couscous. Just make sure any grains you give are cooked so your kitty can digest them fully. Whole wheat breadcrumbs are OK, too.
Number 3: Fish has a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which help your cat's eyes stay sharp as well as help with arthritis, kidney disease, and heart disorders. Canned or cooked fish is fine for a treat. But don't share your sushi -- raw fish is not a good idea.  It is nutritionally complete cat food.
Number 4: Eggs are another super source of protein for your cat. But make sure they're cooked. Like raw meat and fish, raw eggs can harm your kitty.
Number 5: Veggies Not all cats like vegetables, and even fewer like fruits. But they are a rich source of vitamins, and they're loaded with fiber and water to help with digestion. Try fresh cucumber or cantaloupe, steamed broccoli, or asparagus. But you might have better luck slipping him a veggie burger, just be careful the patty doesn't include onions or garlic.
Number 6: Cheese is a high-protein snack that's fine for your cat in small amounts. But the protein in cheese is less "complete" than the kind in meat, fish, and eggs. Also, many cats' tummies can't handle dairy, so go easy on the cheesy treats, and skip the saucer of milk. To get more pet food advice videos like this, hit the like and subscribe button, and leave a comment below to let us know what you'd like to see next

Doing More Harm.
Paring: Ruben Marcado x Reader
Word Count: 1,366
Summary: Ruben didn’t expect to go to a party where he would make “medication” and leave with a bag full of money. And apparently he’s in love with processed cheese. Nothing new.
Warnings: Drug Mention, Cheating, and Language!
A Note: well here we are again hi how are you all? i know this series may suck but i’m having fun. i’d like some feedback, if possible? sorry if i’m asking for too much. hope you like it! (also thanks @lookaroundlookaroundhowlucky for telling me you loved it so i could put it out ok ok love you)
Ruben cleared his throat as he swallowed the second bite of his hamburger with his stupid Hello Kitty backpack full of money on his back. “I’m in love with processed cheese,” he had stated while Ian giggled and ate more of their shared fries.
“You’re still high, you know that right?” Ian said after he had swallowed his food he was chewing.
“That was utterly insane-”
“Yeah, it was. Turns out, you really know how to party, and run. Who knew?”
“Ohmygod- I jumped out a window!” Ruben had said with a bit too much excitement, going in for another bite of his burger before speaking again. “I went through and out a window-”
“All while wearing your cute, little pink Hello Kitty backpack.” Ian said as he swallowed mid-sentence. They both started giggling like idiots as Ruben spoke in a higher tone.
“Don’t- Don’t ruin it for me!”
Their giggling had died down slightly now, and turned into an oddly comfortable silence. The bell of the door rang signalling that more people had come in. This diner was busy at this time of night shockingly.
“By the way, you really know how to pick ‘em, nice going.” Ruben glanced at Ian trying to figure out what he had been talking about and thought about earlier in the night. When he was making out the psychopath's girl after he took the drugs he made sounds about right.
“What are the odds that one girl into me would be Oz’s girl?” Ruben said. He thought that what he had just said had come out wrong.
So very wrong.
“You’re right what are the odds?” Ian agreed, not seeing the face of realization Ruben had been making.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you now Ruben?” Ian had asked as he turned to face him a bit more after he finished off what he had ordered and most of their shared fries.
“Y/N.. I cheated on Y/N.” He said quietly, putting the small last possible bite of his food to lean back into the chair and think and try to clear up his mind, which is still foggy from the fucking pill he made.
“Oh come on Ruben, you know that you’d rather Oz’s girl, she’d probably be calling you right now if she could.” Ian said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“I know you’re wanting to help right now, but I’d rather Y/N over everyone in the world.” Ruben said as he started to rub his face gently.
He fucked up. Royally. He knew that. The moment he pulls out his phone he’ll probably have a few messages from a worried Y/N, and maybe a call or two because she hates to spam. The poor girl is probably worried sick and curled up on her side of the bed, scared shitless if she’ll get a call from Jason in the morning and say that he’s dead as a doornail.
“Seems like you’ve been taking her for granted then. You’re always working on that stupid kill drug. I still want you working on it though.” Ruben snapped his head over to where Ian sat.
“The hell do you mean?”
“I mean, let me use the kill drug to eliminate Jason. I know that this has nothing to do with you cheating on your okay-looking girlfriend with some hot chick that you almost got to third base with-” Ruben was beyond pissed off now. He doesn’t know if this was what he needed or something, but whatever Ian was planning, if he was planning anything, was working.
Ruben slammed his hands on the bar, getting only Ian’s attention thankfully, looking right up at him, his eyes going a shade darker full of anger.
“Listen here buddy, Y/N is the best thing I’ve ever gained in my life. If I hadn’t gone with you and made that fucking pill, I wouldn’t have done this. I would have probably been home with her, and doing what we would usually be doing. I wouldn’t have cheated on her, made a drug illegally, almost get fucking cut by a damned psychopath, jump out a window while getting shot at and have to keep lying to my own mother, if I had just stood my god damned ground, and not keep getting pushed around!” He was practically yelling at this point, most people were too into their conversations to notice.
Ian looked terrified. Ruben was panting as he caught his breath from what had just been put out in the open. He sat back down for a second before running a hand through his short hair and stood up, holding his hand out to Ian, who still looked scared, to say the least.
“Give me my car keys.” He spoke sternly, he kept sure to not show his true emotions in his voice. All he could think of was his Y/N scared for him.
Ian quickly fished out the keys from his jacket pocket and put them in his hand quickly. Ruben gave him a fake smile before walking out of the diner and right to his car that was parked on the curb.
When Ruben pulled into his no longer empty driveway, none of the lights were on in the windows of the house. Hopefully she’s asleep and didn’t worry too much.
He quickly climbed out of his car, making his way to the front door quickly, unlocking the door as quiet as possible and stepped into the house, smiling faintly at the scent of one of their seasonal candles they’d picked out earlier in the month when life wasn’t hell for once.
Ruben took his shoes off and put them next to the door before locking the door up once again, but the top bolt being included. After he’d made sure the house was all locked up, he made his way to the living room to see Y/N curled up on the couch, her hair pulled into a messy bun as she held onto a tub of popcorn that had probably been out for a few hours. 
Ruben smiled small and leaned down, gently placing a kiss on her forehead before slowly tugging the popcorn tub out of her loose grasp and placed it on the coffee table.
He squinted as he watched the t.v. for a moment trying to figure out what she had been watching before taking her up to their bedroom. Seinfeld. A Classic.
After shutting off the t.v, Ruben had carefully scooped up Y/N in his arms and held her close to his chest as he started to make his way to the stairs carefully, trying not to wake her.
He could only hope that she’ll hear him out in the morning after he explains what the hell happened and why he just so happens to have a Hello Kitty backpack in his possession with so much money in it.
Ruben scrunched his nose up gently when he felt someone leaning into him even more than when he had fallen asleep. Y/N probably is laying on top of him.
He opened his eyes slowly and squinted in the direction of the alarm clock on the nightstand.
10:45 am.
He sighed softly and placed his hands gently on Y/N’s lower back as she stayed asleep, silently thankful that she hadn’t woken up yet to question where he had been the last night. He doesn’t even remember much besides the fact a random woman had made out with him, he made drugs, jumped out a window and ended up with a damned Hello Kitty bag full of money.
Oh, and the other action of yelling at Ian was also on that list. He feels like Ian deserved it. But then he also felt like he was gonna get beaten into the ground the next day he just so happens to see him. Ruben planned quietly in his head to avoid the lab as much as possible until he fixed things with Y/N at all costs.
The kill drug can wait.
So can Jason.
And Ian.
If anything bad could happen he could just call the cops, right?

Come Back
Title: Come Back Character(s) Mentioned: Natasha Romanov, Dr. Bruce Banner, Thor Odinson, Wanda Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff, Vision, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Tony Stark Pairing: Natasha Romanov x Y/N Genre: Romance/Song Fiction Song: Ya Me Entré by Reik Words: 2,350 Contains: Angst, Infidelity Author’s Note: Hello, my crazy, sexy and perhaps medicated sugar babies! Deadpool here, because the fur ball was too tired to write an explanation to her disappearance. I have to say she was tied up. Tightly. With leather straps. And a gagball. Did you know if you tickled—*Miss kitty moves Deadpool away from her computer* Okay, D. I think you’ve explained enough! …God… *Deadpool in the background with a pool donut with the head of a unicorn* I complete you! Alright. Hey there, my kittens and gentlecats, yeah, I am back with a new story! Yes, I know I need to continue on Gone and Mating Season. But Spider-copycat was right. Not literally, of course. *Deadpool yells* Spidey has a different style! I’m a unique, sexy spandex piece of ass with a lifetime guarantee of slaughter and rainbows! Riiight, anyway, I have to go deal with a certain mercenary who is in dire need of an enema. Here I present: Come Back *Deadpool screams* Ahh! No, mommy! Not there! That’s my special place! Only Wolverine is allowed to touch it! Summary: Natasha comes back to find you gone. Not only gone but with someone else. How did this happen? How did she let this happen?
Damn it. She should’ve just said sorry. That she didn’t mean what she said. However, it was too late to apologize, she was already with him. If things weren’t awkward enough between them, now including the fact that she ended up in Bruce’s arms made it worse. She believed that with some distance, they’d be better. Natasha never forgot the morning she came back and the news were given to her. ‘She left. Y/N moved in with Banner.’ And now, there she was, across the room with her arm wrapped around his. Her former lover kept stealing glances at the red-headed woman she fell in love with. As she looked into her serious stare, she knew what Nat was thinking. ‘I found out that there’s someone new caressing your skin. Some idiot that you’re trying to convince that you and me are in the past…’
“I’m sorry, Nat. She begged me not to tell you. And with all the fighting you two were having, I thought maybe it would be best.” Clint explained, his bluish green eyes avoided her gaze. He could already feel the tension rising between them. “And so, I’m the villain and the whole world believes her?” Romanov furrowed her brows in irritation. “She couldn’t stay. She said she was better off not seeing you. ‘Makes it less painful,’ She said.” The assassin didn’t want to hear anymore. Her rugged slender hands pushed herself away from the table and walked to her room. She wondered however, was she happier with another by her side?
She was simple civilian who showed up at the wrong place at the wrong time. During the battle of New York, she tried to escape from the Chitauri who had her cornered. Natasha was able to take in the details of her frightened face from up above and though she has always been about her main objectives, she couldn’t leave the young woman to die. In a flash, Romanov manages to jump from the alien vehicle, landing perfectly onto the two bodies of the ones who had their deadly spears in hand. She stared in awe at her, amazed by her abilities. “Wow… Thanks!” She exhaled, the woman with disheveled locks draped over her shoulder. “It was nothing, but you might want to head to a safer location. It’s only gonna get worse from here.” The Russian assassin smirked before she ran to reunion with the team. “H-Hey, wait! What’s your name?” Nat turned towards her who had a soft welcoming smile within her pink lips. “Black Widow.” Her beautifully savee chuckled, “No, your real name.” “…..Natasha.” The avenger hesitated cautiously but her mouth answered without reason. Her slender fingers brushed her hair behind her ear, and with bright shimmering eyes replied, “Thank you, Natasha.” Her voice was almost musical, speaking in a gentle soothing rhythm that allowed that brief moment to be pleasant. Nat thought she’d never see her again. She was wrong.
Walking around the city undercover, following her target into Moondance diner. Romanov made sure to stay a few tables away from them not to cause disturbance. Her green eyes were so focused on the situation at hand, that she did not realize the plastic wrapped menu sliding in front of her. “Good afternoon, miss. I will be your waitress today. Would you like coffee or tea to begin with?” The waitress beamed though already having been on her feet for two hours, her cheerfulness was false. The redheaded avenger plaster a fake smile, preparing to lie in order appear inconspicuous. “No, thank you. I’m wa-” Natasha froze, meeting the eyes of the woman she rescued. “Natasha?” She asked, her superficial smile fading into a genuine one. “Um…Hey, you!” The assassin stood up, wrapping her arms around her as if she knew her. “Not that I mind and everything but what are you doing?” The woman whispered in her ear. Romanov’s body tingled as her warm breath floated down her neck. “Shh, just pretend you know me.” “Oh my God, I haven’t seen you in forever,” The uniform cladded girl replied back in a confused tone as she awkwardly patted her back. Natasha noticed the target looking in their direction suspiciously. “Sound more believable.” “What do you want me to do?! I’m being hugged by an Avenger out of the blue, when I should just be taking your order!” She answered harshly in a hush, pressured by Romanov’s request. She rolled her eyes, still keeping her target in sight. Shit, they were still looking. Well, desperate times calls for desperate measures. “Kiss me,” Natasha commanded. “Say what?” The waitress asked in disbelief. “Public displays of affection makes people uncomfortable.” “Why yes, yes they do. So are you crazy?!” She whispered hissed in her ear, finally removing herself from the embrace. The redhead sighed, smiling happily yet falsely and she pulled the unsuspecting woman’s head and impacted with her lips. It was electrifying. Nothing she ever felt before, and she’s had a lifetime of trial and error. She pulled the avenger closer, wrapping her arms around her waist. Natasha tried to keep her eye of the target but she was falling deeper and deeper into the kiss. Her curvaceous body craved for more but stopped immediately when she noticed them leaving through the back door. Romanov had to chase after them! But the warmth of her body, the taste of strawberries on her lips was too sweet to resist. “Hey Y/N! No canoodling with the customers while working. Do that on your break time!” The owner and cook of the diner exclaimed from the kitchen. Y/n stepped away in a flash, “Ha-ha! Sorry, Mel! I-I, uh, gotta go.” “A kiss and no dinner? Classy. It’s fine, I need to be somewhere. Bye gorgeous.” Natasha ran without a goodbye and sped through the streets of New York to catch up to the person she was tailing.
Once again, that wasn’t the last time she came across her. After Tony overhearing a private conversation she was having with Clint, the billionaire thought it would be funny asking the diner to make a special delivery by a special deliverer to the tower. Normally, they don’t usually deliver that deep into the city, but who can’t say no to one of the richest and annoying man in New York City? “Um, hello? Excuse me? I have a delivery for-uhh, Mr. Stank?” “It’s Stark! God, it’s like they’re doing on purpose now. Hey there buttercup, is that my breakfast?” Tony smiled, walking towards the hot plate. “Yes, sir! It’s the breakfast deluxe, complete with eggs over-easy, waffles, and— H-Hey, what are you doing?!” Y/N yelled when the famous IronMan grabbed the large bag and threw it in the trash. He placed his arm over her shoulder, pushing her into the next room, “Oh, I completely forgot, I suddenly hate breakfast. Now, as I was going to say… Y/N? Can I call you Y/N? What am I saying? Of course, I can. I heard you’ve met our little deadly Natasha not only once but twice now. Now since it seems like you two already made it to first base, I thought you both should meet thrice. Natasha, I got you a present and though it’s wearing a poorly manufactured, not naturally yellow uniform, I thought you might like it!” He stated loudly as he shoved the young waitress into the living room in front of the rest of the team. “Oh God.” She mumbled through her teeth, frozen stiff while a large brawny man in armor walked to her. “Why are you making me turn around like a pig on a spit?” Y/N inquired out loud when Thor grabbed her hand and gently twirled her about. The God inspected her as if he was deciding if she was a suitable match for his team mate. The others began to join in, chiming comments of her appearance both good and bad. “She does have nice hair,” Wanda mentioned. “If it didn’t smell like burger grease.” Pietro included. “I win, tin can. Hand it over,” Sam grinned as Bucky pulled out a ten out of his wallet. He mumbled, “That doesn’t mean she’s not into guys also, bird brain.” “She has acceptable anatomical proportions, though her head is rather quite large.” Vision observed. “Wait, what?” The delivery waitress turned to him with a baffled expression. “Sweet cheese and crackers…” “Alright, are you all finished? I think you freaked her out enough. Move or she’s collapse from lack of oxygen.” Natasha finally said standing up, with a mug in hand, breaking up the group as if they were at an exhibition.
Wanda, and company left the area, though stayed close by to ‘for Romanov’s safety.’ “Hi?” She said, blindsided by everything that happened ten minutes ago. “Hi…” Natasha replied, placing her beverage on the coffee table. “I promise I’m not stalking you or anything. Mr. Stark—” “It’s okay. You’d think with all the genius and money, he’d use his time more productively…” The Russian assassin shook her head, waving her explanation dismissively. “So instead of taking me out to dinner, how about breakfast instead?”
Natasha continued to look on, Y/N’s smile spreading widely while she heard the others speak. She knew better though, that smile wasn’t reaching her e/c eyes. One of the many thing Romanov would notice whenever she smiled at her. “Who are you trying to fool? You know you’re my other half, Y/N…?” She said to herself, her black high heels hitting the hardwood floor but the loud music drowned out her movements. Romanov shadowed her, moving around the room. She couldn’t help but keep her eyes on her. Her locks bouncing and swaying with each turn of Y/N’s head. The way she parted her lips to drink from the clear wine glass. How they close on the rim of it and took in the bubbly rose colored liquid, and it slowly rolling down her throat when she swallows it. Y/N felt her eyes on her, but avoided her gaze because she knew. If she looked into those two pools of green, she’d run back to her. Nat was never one to beg, not only due to pride but by the teachings she was given, she must never show weakness. But the woman in her line of vision, falsely flashing a content grin to her audience beside him, was her weakness. “Just forget him, forget him and tell him I’m better. Your heart isn’t truly his, y/n. You’re mine and only mine, love.” She whispered to herself, half hoping she could hear her. Y/N was compelled to see her again but when she turned to find her, she was gone.
“Just leave him! Who imagines, mind you, that I never existed in your life.” Widow stated her claim. With a small lunch in hand she had prepared for Bruce, Y/N arrived to the tower just to drop it off but found herself with the red headed assassin. “Enough, Natasha…” She groaned, attempting to hold herself together before she makes another mistake and tries the relationship again. She was always worried, worried if the next day she’ll see her again. Anxious and stressed, waiting to any news of her return from missions. Several visits to the tower’s infirmary because something went wrong. She couldn’t. Her body no longer could handle the price that comes from loving her. The young woman, once vibrate and glowing, lost her light. Her eyes held dark circles from the nights she stood up to hear any update of her status. Her shiny soft hair, dulled over, unkept from brushing it back repeatedly as she sat in the hospital room for her to come to when she was injured. Slowly but surely, she was going back to her former self but her heart was still weary. Nat finally grabbed her hand, her temperature rising like Fall blooming into Spring. Her touch was the woman’s oasis. “Make it clear that no matter how hard he tries, you’re never gonna love him like you love me.” Black Widow pulled her in, enveloping y/n in her arms while she whispered the truth her love refused to believe. Silence fell, the area desolate and closing them in a world of their own. “You know the truth. You miss me as much as I miss you. I know you do… I already know. So why can’t you accept it?” “Because I know what are the consequences that comes from loving you, Nat,” Y/N’s voice shakes as she turns, “And it almost killed me the last time.”
She’ll come back. I’m certain that she’ll come back, The former KGB agent thought to herself. She sat at the foot of her bed, drowning in the moonlight that poured through her curtains. Her palms planted on her dark colored sheets while small droplets began to tap on her windows. The rain grew steady, their song playing just for her. “She loves the rain,” She said to herself, brushing her disheveled auburn hair back to watch the water dance on the glass. “You’re just with him for comfort.” Natasha said to herself. “You’re bored in his arms though. I saw it on your face.” Her head turned to the right side of her bed. Y/N’s pillows squeezed and distorted from the several hugs Natasha gave it to smell her scent again. However, her fragrance was fading, the final piece of her erasing itself from existence. “Who are you trying to fool, y/n?… You know just as well as I that you’re my other half… Please, come back…” Her ears picked up a few taps at her door, when she turned to the sound, it stopped. Perhaps just a figment of her imagination. Again, Natasha hears the flutter of whispered knocks, bringing her to her feet. She hesitated opening the door, her once stilled heart beating faster with each second she stalls. She turned the handle to the left, and gingerly opened the door…

6 Common Human Foods Cats Can Eat
Tumblr media
Most of your pet’s diet should be nutritionally complete cat food. But you can give her a treat from your plate, every once in a while. You just need to know how to choose cat-friendly snacks, with the nutrients she needs. Here are the top six Human Foods Cats Can Eat!
#6: Cheese
Cheese is a high-protein snack that’s fine for your cat in small amounts. But the protein in cheese is less “complete” than the kind in meat, fish, and eggs. Also, many cats’ tummies can’t handle dairy, so go easy on the cheesy treats, and skip the saucer of milk.
#5: Veggies
Not all cats like vegetables, and even fewer like fruits. But they are a rich source of vitamins, and they’re loaded with fiber and water to help with digestion. Try fresh cucumber or cantaloupe, steamed broccoli, or asparagus. But you might have better luck slipping him a veggie burger, just be careful the patty doesn’t include onions or garlic.
#4: Eggs
Eggs are another super source of protein for your cat. But make sure they’re cooked. Like raw meat and fish, raw eggs can harm your kitty.
#3: Fish
Fish have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, which help your cat’s eyes stay sharp as well as help with arthritis, kidney disease, and heart disorders. Canned or cooked fish is fine for a treat. But don’t share your sushi — raw fish isn’t a good idea.
#2: Whole Grains
Oats have a lot of protein per calorie, and they’re easy to make. Many cats like corn, and polenta, a coarsely ground cornmeal, has a good texture for them. You can try brown rice, barley, and wheatberries, but you may need to mash them first. Cats tend to like smaller grains like millet and couscous. Just make sure any grains you give are cooked so your kitty can digest them fully. Whole wheat breadcrumbs are OK, too.
#1: Meat
Cats are meat-eaters. They have to have protein from meat for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are a great way to give them that. Raw or spoiled meat could make your cat sick. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t give it to your pet.
