short and rushed chapter so i can speed up the process😝

nate and i came to la for a week to visit my brothers and for me to film with them for their podcast. i was currently eight months with the twins now.

right now my brothers were during their intro for their podcast as i waited til it was time to introduce myself. i sat by chris as nick and matt were in their usual spots.

“heyyyy its me y/n!” i introduced myself.

“so if you guys didnt already know y/n is pregnant with TWIN BOYS!” nick said.

“yeah eight months pregnant exactly.” i said as i rubbed my belly.

“so today we are gonna be asking you a series of questions ranging from how you found out and how your pregnancy is going.” matt said

nick was looking at the questions he had on his phone. “what was your reaction on getting pregnant so young? how did you feel?” nick asked.

“well it was definitely scary at first being pregnant so young and still being in school at the time. i was scared nervous yet excited because i have always wanted to be a mom.” i said

“and it helped me so much that i have nate by my side.” i smiled softly thinking of him.

“what was the reasoning you guys decided to hide your pregnancy?” chris asked.

“well we just wanted to enjoy it just the two of us. we were also still in highschool at the time and we just kept it a secret.” i said softly.

“i honestly understand that so much like i dont blame you for hiding it for awhile.” nick said as he looked at more questions he had wrote down.

chris looked at me. “so tell us the meaning behind the babies names?” he said with a grin on his face knowing the meanings already.

“well owen was named after chris for his first name , thats chris’ middle name if you didnt know already.” i started as all three of my brothers looked at me smiling.

“owens middle name is matthew which is matts name. i wanted to name my babies after the people whos most important in my life and nate agreed with me.” i said with a soft smile.

“then leo we picked out leo because thats nates zodiac sign and his middle name is antonio which is nicks middle name.” i spoke as i took a sip of my drink.

“its honestly so special that you named them after us like it means so much to all three of us” matt said as chris started to tear up.

“chris are you crying?” nick asked with a chuckle.

“i just can’t believe my baby is having babies nick!” chris said sniffling.

i chuckled as i looked at him. “its okay chris cmere” i said as i opened my arms to give him a hug which he immediately accepted.

“it means so much that you named owen after me, i love you so much” chris cries into my arms.

“you’re my big brother chris, you’ve always been my biggest supporter and nobody understands the brother sister bond we both have being the youngest. i love you too chris.” i said.

matt and nick watched in awe at the sweet moment chris and his sister was sharing.

.•°♡°•.

the podcast continued on as we talked about various topics all about my pregnancy and my relationship with nate.

“alright so what are your biggest cravings right now?” matt asked me.

“definitely pickles, nate and anything spicy.” i said as i saw nate walk into the room.

“oh hey daddy” i giggled as he sat down beside of me.

chris had a face of disgust as nick was laughing. i gave nate a quick kiss as the boys introduced him as a guest.

“hey princess.” he said with a small smile as he leaned down kissing my belly.

“okay back to answering questions a few more for you y/n then the both of you can answer these next few.” nick said.

“whats a silly reason you’ve cried while pregnant?” nick asked.

“i dont even like seafood boils but ive been craving the seafood from that restaurant in cape cod and i cried about it one night when nate and i were laying in bed”i chuckled.

“yeah she cried for atleast 30 minutes”nate laughed and he had a weird look on his face when he looked at me.

the look that he had on his face made me kinda irritated.“look at me like that again and you’re not getting your dick sucked tonight” i said rolling my eyes.

“okay okay im sorry!” nate laughed.

“not happening in my house!” chris said as he took a sip of his drink.

i glared at him. “chris im literally already pregnant so what does it hurt.” i said.

“dont care still not happening” chris said throwing his hands up.

“okay moving on!” nick said as he looked at some questions on his phone.

“how did you guys find out the gender of the twins?” nick asked.

“well i got my blood drawn and they put the results in a envelope we picked it up took it to a bakery and had them make a cake filled with either blue or pink.” i started as nate looked at me.

“then we went to a little park and had a picnic and we had wine glasses that we both dug into the cake showing that we were having two boys.” nate finished the story for me.

“it was such a sweet little moment and im honestly glad that we did it just the two of us.” i said with a small smile.

after thirty more minutes of talking about various topics we finally wrapped the podcast up and just all hung out for the rest of the evening.

it was nice to spend time with my brothers after not seeing them for a few weeks. they were all crazy about their nephews. one month or less til these sweet babies are here.

c3e33 spoilers in the tags

fr tho @staff why are you trying to make tumblr more like other sites why are you destroying your niche in the market please there have got to be ways to make tumblr more accessible to new users without sacrificing the very things that your existing userbase loves

[tealfruit]

it's really a shame I have to sell 40+ of my life hours every week for poverty wages instead of spending all my time and energy on dozens of creative and technical pursuits with unlimited resources

[claitea]

so i wanted to try my hand at making fakemon! decided i'd start simple, a regional variant (sort of) so there was an existing pokemon to base it on and i wouldn't have to go from scratch.

ghost pokemon often have dark backstories so i wondered, what if i undid that, what if i changed a pokemon so it was no longer sad or scary? ghosts usually have a reason for coming back to life too, spite or unfinished business, so what about a ghost that moved on from its tragic past and found a happier life?

detailled explanations for these two under the cut!

first off, the stats are the same as yamask and cofagrigus with the def and spdef swapped, like how galarian yamask and runerigus also have the same stats with atk and spatk swapped.

masquerade yamask can only be found behind the theatre in nimbasa city, like other regional variants you can't just form change a normal yamask into one. it evolves into theatrigus after performing in the musical with high friendship. in hoenn and sinnoh this would be a contest instead, and filming a video with it in kalos. no idea what you'd do in the other regions honestly. no theatrigus for you galarians.

the idea is that yamask that liked the theatre were able to move on from their past life by finding a new passion. it keeps its old mask, but it doesnt cry when it looks at it anymore. its just a reminder of a fond memory from a different time, but yamask is just as happy in the present now and no longer has a reason to lament its past life.

theatrigus was tough to design at first. originally i kept trying to make its face look a lot more like cofagrigus, but it looked too scary, not what you'd expect from a playful actor. cofagrigus's dex says it forgot its memories of being human, and runerigus is straight up cursed probably, but theatrigus isn't cursed or spiteful after losing its memories (i assume it doesnt lose them at all). so i figured it was good enough reasoning for theatrigus to look friendlier and cuter because there was no negative force that turned it monstrous. it still looks odd enough for a ghost/fairy type

theatrigus is just "theatre+egregious" like cofagrigus and runerigus, but after googling egregious's definition i found it used to mean "distinguished" instead of "bad". so the name scheme still fits!

bulbapedia says yamask is based on "ba", a part of the egyptian concept of the soul; what makes a person unique, similar to a personality. the ba is depicted as a bird with a human head. theatrigus is the opposite, it looks like a bird usually (yamask looked like one too so i leaned into that), but it can shapeshift to copy the lower body of a person.

it's fairy type because of its shapeshifting, since thats a common thing for fairies to do in fairy tales and myths. shapeshifting is how i decided to incorporate an actor changing roles or costume. the fluffy mist is supposed to look like fairy dust, a feather boa you might associate with old timey famous people, and the way that in cartoons or games a character might suddenly change appearance in a puff of smoke.

well i think its finally time to open this box

[felidaefatigue]

genuinely pondering what i actually want to do for the next 50 years because im pretty sure life is going to become... Not unlivable in the sense of humans cease but so completely and utterly Not This that i feel like any goals need to be achieved asap if they rely at all on global systems

finally read some lore today. imagine being so amulet-able and sealable. everyone keeps sealing you away because you're cringe

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

anyway speaking of the vatican trio i was so overwhelmed by the need to see their goofy dynamic that the angsty scene i was writing suddenly became rather silly.

hestio and ephael stop making every scene you're in comic relief challenge. this was supposed to be a serious scene

[aerisfelidae]

I actually got to have a birthday this year?

Only a little one, I crashed the Christmas party of someone I didn't know very well with some people that I adore, and we watched cringey nativity movies and I nearly threw up from laughing

One of my besties MADE super cute earrings and gave me a card that made me cry, and I got a funny mug and some Manwhore Stink™ perfume, and some people went really extra which they absolutely didn't have to but I'm amazed that they did

And it's the first birthday in at least 20 years where I haven't felt inconvenient to love. It's nice to ring in the last year of my 20s with happy tears

i know you’ve said this new chapter has been giving you a hard time (let me speak to it, i just wanna talk 🥊😤) kidding, but i just hope you’re taking care of yourself and not putting too much pressure, i know you have a lot on your plate currently 😘 i just want to tell you that everything you write is wonderful and you could put out an instruction manual and it would be delightful & lovely

WHY thank you my sweet anon <3 lowkey tearing up, particularly as i am currently trying !!!!! to write a literature review and its just so.. :-| like i'm reading it thinking, u call yourself a writer :-\\ ..... where's the story! 🫵 where's the intrigue! 🫵 BUT :-) ur confidence in me is so inspiring and touching and now im looking @ myself in the mirror with a single tear gliding down my cheek like... toothpaste...... anon says you could put out an instruction manual :'-) and it would be delightful. lovely even :'-) so i think i will print this out and tape it to my mirror to remind myself of in times of crisis <3 (which occur often)

it has been a truly wild month, BUT i am so happy to report that i actually really do like this chapter now :-))))) and i just have one last section to edit <3 my plate is still full (i should have submitted the aforementioned lit review many many many moons ago. its hell in here i tell u HELL) but we're getting there xxx MWAH

[astranauticus]

i have an exam tomorrow but i know my brain won't know rest until i post this. anyway i just looked up the lyrics to 超度我/set me free by floruitshow and i just. have to inflict this song onto other people it is so robits

(real quick one thing i will say is please listen to the song, i once described floruitshow as 'the perfect combination of classically trained and a little bit insane' and this song is 100% that vibe. like i cant promise you'll like it but i can promise that it probably won't sound like anything else you've heard before)

Also I'll only be translating the verses because the chorus is literally lines straight from the Diamond Sutra and explaining those is above my paygrade

(Verse 1)

来不及 There's no time left 最后一句想你来不及让你知道 No time left to say to you my last 'I miss you' 再也回不去 We can't ever return 那个有彩虹出现的下午 to that afternoon when the rainbow appeared 再也感受不到你温度 I won't ever feel your warmth again 如果你留我在梦里 If you left me in my dreams 我会放弃呼吸 I can give up my breath 请 超度我 Please, set me free

VR-LA during/after MR-SN's death?? reflecting on all the things he never got to say, all the things they never got to do because they never got enough time together, 'i can give up my breath' all that time VR-LA spent alone on that empty ship fighting the thoughts of leaving it all behind.. (yells)

(Verse 2)

对不起 I'm sorry 不经意就在你的影子里活下去 It's so easy to live on in your shadow 我不在意 But I don't mind 不过是白日梦里一瞬息 It's nothing but a moment in a daydream 为何还起念动心 Why does my heart still stir? 怪你名字太熟悉 It's all because your name is too familiar 当我是一花一叶一春木 if I pretend I were a flower, a leaf, a spring sapling 可否回到世界之初 Can I return to the beginning of it all? 请 超度我 Please, set me free

Y'all wanna talk about how VR-LA's still not over MR-SN. or how he spends s2-s3 haunted by his old crew ('live on in your shadow' owwww). 'a moment in a daydream' VR-LA seeing MR-SN in overclock... being stuck in the horrible horrible headspace of the Zuggtemoy curse and finding comfort in this snippet of the captain he can barely remember.. 'your name is too familiar' i mean just look at the wish speech! he says it better than i ever could, it's getting the old crew's names from maxim that really sets VR-LA off on this whole journey to find them because even after the everything just their names is enough for him to remember how much he loved and still loves them!! augh

(Outro)

我的执念 万千千千 My obsessions, hundreds and thousands 放不下地 放不下天 I can't let go of the earth, I can't let go of the sky 我把红线折折剪剪 I cut and fold at the red strings 落入凡间镜重圆 I fall to the mortal realm to seek reunion

Again, y'all wanna talk about how VR-LA's still not over MR-SN. but also the last two lines as being MR-SN's POV, the 'red strings' being a reference to the red strings of fate (strings that tie lovers/soulmates together... aaa), MR-SN (or well, Mystra, I guess) literally defying fate so that they can meet again. 镜重圆 here is likely referring to 破镜重圆, a phrase that directly translates to "mending a broken mirror" and basically refers to couples (generally romantic) reconciling/reuniting after a breakup/some kind of separation which... i mean yeah thats literally just 3.7 huh. MR-SN coming back from the dead to give VR-LA closure and catharsis. anyway i'm gonna go lie on the floor now

Adds idea number 4629273 to the list of things i would like to do but i probably will not end up doing

[safekeeperscosm]

Ya know, I’m thinking about how season 3 would happen in the amphibibabies au, specifically about how Anne would meet Mr and Mrs Boonchuy. In cannon, they reunited because Anne knew where to go, but au Anne doesn’t, so the first human she really meets on Earth would be Dr. Jan, because the logic of “go to the museum to look for old evidence” still holds up in the au.

I’m just imagining Dr. Jan hearing about this how Anne was found by the Plantars as a baby, accepting that info, then realizing an hour after they left that Anne must have come from somewhere on Earth before that. She would just immediately start looking into 13 year old missing persons cases. She finds a triple missing children’s case that fits the bill, shows a picture to Hop Pop to confirm that it’s indeed a picture of baby Anne, and now they know where to go to find them.

Or imagine if Dr. Jen called the Boonchuys first. Like “Hey, ya know that daughter of yours that went missing as a baby? I might just have some new info on that.” How does a parent even respond to that!?

In either case, that’s when the real angst begins.

YO YESS THAT'S SO SMART YOOOO

y'know I'm reminded how I'm still boggled by @/fermented-writers-block's prediction that they'd end up on Earth before we saw TC..

I might've been spoiled by this fic so my first thought would be the police station, then they'd break out cause some scary government guys (or they just do) show up fghs

they hide out at the museum which should be GREAT while on the run from the police and government, Anne gets to a hospital and that's where she and her parents reunite? oh man..

HELLO ALSO FICS THAT ARE VERY DIVERGENT/INSPIRED BY?? WHAT!!!! I need to read these ouuwhwgheuheuhehhh
