#math gay wisdom

[gay-otlc]

My gender is like imaginary numbers. Complex. Not actually real but very much present in my life. Makes no sense to anyone, least of all me.

[cupcake-torture]

Things people (and canon) seem to forget about Captain America (Steve Rogers) (an old ass man)

Facts

• Dude was born in 1918

• Time alive (not including ice bucket challenge) = 1918-1943 [INSERT 68 YEAR GAP] 2011-2023

What he missed

• The atom bomb

• The cold war

• Civil rights movement

• Anything space travel

• Women's rights

• Lgbt rights

• Really anything to do with a computer and the internet

• Rise of neo-nazis

Based on this. He is like your grandfather's father. Imagine teaching that old bugger the new world WITHOUT him seeing its evolution.

Based on the list above he would (at least for a good long while after being out of the ice.)

Be racist

• Black and coloured people did not have rights when he was iced. Them having rights would at the VERY LEAST confuse the fuck outta him

• The N-word was commonly used before the civil rights movement. It was not known to be a bad thing to say. It was more a statement of fact.

• Also black people were not seen to really be PEOPLE during the time so take that as you will.

Be sexist

• Women didn't have rights at this time. Sure they had more than black people but at the time when Steve got iced they were still fighting for the right to vote.

• It would be almost natural for Steve to not take women seriously. (Although I imagine Peggy took some of this out of him, but we're being realistic).

• He would also probably be very Victorian man being shown an ankle about how women can dress today. (God imagine him seeing a bikini for the first time)

• He also wasn't around for the lobotomy so I like to imagine him being fucking repulsed about the medical negligence and endangerment of American lobotomies (shokingly European ones weren't as bad. I REPEAT: WERENT *AS BAD*)

be homophobic

gay people didn't really 'exist' at this point in time so I doubt steve would be all the knowledgeable in all of it

that is to say, he is Christian, being gay is quite openly a sin in most Christian interpretations, and my boy wants to do right by God.

he also wouldn't get all this gender stuff. it was never a thing for him. at least 'queer' was a word when he was around.

be fucking useless with technology

I can clearly envision steve giving tony multiple aneurysms as he shows him his inevitably virus-filled computer ("HOW? HOW DO YOU HAVE MORE VIRUSES THAN ACTUAL PROGRAMS???" "but this man said he needed to fix my email...")

the most this man used was a typewriter (so he would be infinitely better at typing on a computer than a phone)

he also was iced before modern calculators, so he would have used an adding machine at most

yet again this man is 100 and missed most of technology being made. this is not his fault, but it will still happen.

not be all that book smart

so this guy would've been... *counts on fingers* 11 when the great depression hit. so maybe 5-6 years of schooling before he would have dropped out to work because great depression

also anything he learnt in school would probably be false by now (even maths has changed since then)

I am NOT saying he's not smart. i know he's smart with military stuff and all that, but he's more a wisdom guy than an intelligence guy y'know?

would not swear

swearing wasn't really a thing in the '20s - '30s so yeah...

he would have some weird ass slang tho, and I do not doubt that tony would give him all the shit for it

(from knowledge acquired by reading the great gatsby) he would use the words probably, but more literal (like 'bitch' for female dog)

honestly be shamed for america allowing nazis to continue to exist

half of dude's life in the military was punching hitler. i think this would be pretty self-explanatory.

i think he would like how germany goes about having it all be against the law tho. he'd support that 100%.

I WANT TO SAY THIS JUST IN CASE ANYONE MISUNDERSTOOD ME. i do not believe that steve would be a bad person on purpose. he is simply a product of his time. i thoroughly believe that when pointed out, he would do his best to become better, to learn more, and to be accepting. what I am saying is that it will take time, and many trip ups, and honestly, I think that would have been a really cool thing to bring up about how much culture has changes in less than 100 years. the MCU really only brought up the technological differences and I think it would have been cool to explore this. (I am aware some things can't happen because slurs are age restricted, but still, cool concept.)

anyways, if you got this far, thanks for reading this unintentional essay. have a nice day.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … December 25

Sol Invictus ("the Unconquered Sun") or, more fully, Deus Sol Invictus ("the Unconquered Sun God") was the late Roman state sun god. The cult was created by the emperor Aurelian in 274 and continued until the abolition of paganism under Theodosius I. The Romans held a festival on December 25 called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun."

The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the patron god of Emperor Aurelian (270-274); and Mithras. Oh, and a Jewish upstart named Jesus.

December 25th was also considered to be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma. It was therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 45 B.C.E., December 25th was approximately the date of the solstice. In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21st or 22nd.)

The Sol Invictus festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Solar symbolism was popular with early Christian writers as Jesus was considered to be the "sun of righteousness."

The date for Christmas may also bear a relation to the sun worship. According to the scholiast on the Syriac bishop Jacob Bar-Salibi, writing in the twelfth century:

"It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries the Christians also took part. Accordingly when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day." (cited in "Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries", Ramsay MacMullen).

The Death of Epaminondas

418 B.C. – Epaminondas, Greek warrior and general, born (d: 362 B.C.). Considered to have been one of the great military geniuses of the ancient world, he is included here, on Christmas Day, not because of his victories in battle, but because he was revered for his moral character. He was revered, too, since he had risen from an impoverished family because of his goodness, strength and character.

Epaminondas was well educated; his musical teachers were among the best in their disciplines, as was his dance instructor. Most notably, his philosophy instructor Lysis of Tarentum (who had come to live with Polymnis in his exile) was one of the last major Pythagorean philosophers. Epaminondas was devoted to Lysis and was noted for his excellence in philosophical studies.

Not merely an academic, Epaminondas was noted for his physical prowess, and in his youth he devoted much time to strengthening and preparing himself for combat. In 385 B.C., in a skirmish near the city of Mantinea, Epaminondas, at great risk to his own life, saved the life of his future partner Pelopidas, an act thought to have cemented the life-long friendship between the two.

He was, like most Greek warriors, homosexual - but with a difference. He never married and did not produce an heir. His delight in boys was complete in itself for him. His two favorite boys, Asopichus and Leuctra, both fell in battle, as did Ep

aminondas. Both, by his order, are buried in his tomb.

1642 – Sir Isaac Newton (d.1726/27) was an English mathematician, astronomer, theologian and physicist (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics. Newton also made pathbreaking contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.

Isaac Newton was born (according to the Julian calendar, in use in England at the time) on Christmas Day, 25 December 1642 (NS 4 January 1643) "an hour or two after midnight", at Woolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire.

From the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at The King's School, Grantham, which taught Latin and Greek and probably imparted a significant foundation of mathematics. He was removed from school, and by October 1659, he was to be found at Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, where his mother, widowed for a second time, attempted to make a farmer of him. Newton hated farming. Henry Stokes, master at the King's School, persuaded his mother to send him back to school so that he might complete his education. Motivated partly by a desire for revenge against a schoolyard bully, he became the top-ranked student, distinguishing himself mainly by building sundials and models of windmills.

Newton's Principia formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the Solar System and demonstrated that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies could be accounted for by the same principles. Newton's theoretical prediction that the Earth is shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the geodetic measurements of others, thus convincing most Continental European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.

Newton also built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the colours of the visible spectrum. Newton's work on light was collected in his highly influential book Opticks, first published in 1704. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling, made the first theoretical calculation of the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid.

Newton was a fellow of Trinity College and the second Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian, who privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and who, unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, refused to take holy orders in the Church of England.

Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death. Politically and personally tied to the Whig party, Newton served two brief terms as Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge, in 1689–90 and 1701–02. He was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 and he spent the last three decades of his life in London, serving as Warden (1696–1700) and Master (1700–1727) of the Royal Mint, as well as president of the Royal Society (1703–1727).Although it was claimed that he was once engaged, Newton never married. The French writer and philosopher Voltaire, who was in London at the time of Newton's funeral, said that he

"was never sensible to any passion, was not subject to the common frailties of mankind, nor had any commerce with women—a circumstance which was assured me by the physician and surgeon who attended him in his last moments".

The widespread belief that he died a virgin has been commented on by writers such as mathematician Charles Hutton, economist John Maynard Keynes, and physicist Carl Sagan.

Newton did have a close friendship with the Swiss mathematician Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, whom he met in London around 1689. Their intense relationship came to an abrupt and unexplained end in 1693, and at the same time Newton suffered a nervous breakdown. Some of their correspondence has survived.

In September of that year, Newton had a breakdown which included sending wild accusatory letters to his friends Samuel Pepys and John Locke. His note to the latter included the charge that Locke "endeavoured to embroil me with woemen". Items like these have led some historians to speculate that Newton was homosexual.

 "Artist and Model" - John Minton

1917 – John Minton (d.1957) was a painter of landscapes, town scenes, and figure subjects in oil and watercolor, as well as an acclaimed illustrator. Minton's homosexuality was an important influence on his work. One of his main themes was the young male figure in emotionally charged settings.

Like many middle class gay men of his generation, Minton was drawn to men who fulfilled a manly ideal, and this attraction manifested itself in much of his work, where he portrayed his handsome working class lovers and other ideals of masculinity such as Guardsmen and matadors.

Two Bullfighters

Minton's early work focused on the urban landscape he discovered during nocturnal jaunts around London, where he also discovered an active sexual underground. Visits to Spain in 1949 and Jamaica in 1950 offered Minton a fresh repertoire of subjects and enriched his palette of colors.

Although Minton was dedicated to painting, his reputation developed as a result of his skill as an illustrator for a wide range of books, as well as for magazines such as The Listener and The Radio Times.

Between 1950 and 1952 Minton lived openly with his lover Ricky Stride, a bodybuilding ex-sailor, often his model. Theirs was a volatile relationship and ended as a result of almost constant fighting, which often resulted in violence on Stride's part.

On January 12, 1950, The Listener published a letter Minton wrote in response to a review of a new biography of Oscar Wilde which discussed Wilde's sexuality and relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas in a denigrating fashion. Outraged, Minton pointed out the enormous contribution made to society by homosexuals and highlighted the fact that "the same vicious law which imprisoned Wilde still operates" and pleaded for a "saner and more comprehensive attitude towards the homosexual in society."

Minton's character revealed some great contradictions—his wild gaiety and love of wit and banter disguised and competed with an inner melancholy that verged on depression. Towards the end of his life, Minton began to express an obsession with death, and he was particularly moved by the death of film star and symbol of disaffected youth James Dean.

Minton's last painting, which remained unfinished, was initially based upon a car crash that he had witnessed in Spain; but it also, he told his friend Ruskin Spear, represented "James Dean and all that." As a result the painting was posthumously titled Composition: The Death of James Dean in September 1955.

On January 20, 1957 John Minton committed suicide by taking an overdose of Tuinal.

1950 – Time magazine ran its first article on homosexuality. It said that homosexuals should not work in government jobs because they are a security risk.

1950 – Yehuda Poliker is an Israeli singer, songwriter, musician, and painter. Poliker first became known in the 1980s as the lead vocalist for the band Benzene. In 1985, after the band was dismantled, he began a varied solo career that included motifs from rock, pop and traditional Greek music. He is openly gay.

Yehuda Poliker (birth name: Leonidas Polikaris) was born in Kiryat Haim, a suburb of Haifa, Israel. His parents were Greek Jews and Holocaust survivors who were deported to Auschwitz from Thessaloniki.

In 1981, Poliker began his career-long collaboration with writer and producer Yaakov Gilad. Poliker's band, Benzene, released two albums: 24 Sha'ot (24 Hours) and Mishmeret Layla (Night Watch), which included hit singles such as "Hofshi Ze Legamrei Levad" ("Free Is Totally Alone"), "Geshem" ("Rain") and "Yom Shishi" (Friday). After Benzene broke up, Poliker began a solo career. In 1985, he released his first solo album, Einaim Shely (These Eyes of Mine). All of the tracks on the album were well-known Greek songs literally translated into Hebrew. In 1986, Poliker released his second solo album, Kholem Behakitz (Daydreamer). His third album, Efer VeAvak (Dust and Ashes), released in 1988, dealt mostly with the children of Holocaust survivors. It sold more than 70,000 copies, and in 2005, was rated by Ynet as number one of the top 100 best albums ever recorded in Israel.

Poliker's father, Jacko, told the story of his escape from Auschwitz in the 1988 film Because of That War (Hebrew: B'Glal Hamilhamah Hahi), which featured music by his son. The film included interviews with Yehuda Poliker and Yaakov Gilad, whose parents, Polish Jews, also survived Auschwitz.

1978 – Dylan Vox is an American actor and producer who has worked in television, film and theatre.

Vox was born in Marietta, Georgia, and was adopted one month after birth by Donna Blount. At an early age, he began riding horses and showed Western Pleasure placing in both regional and national competitions. After high school graduation, Vox received bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Journalism from the Georgia Southern University before moving to Denver, Colorado and training with Olympic Ice Dancer Carol Fox where he had some success on the national level with his partner Erin Bales. Vox retired from skating, and attended and graduated from law school.

Vox starred in the Los Angeles premiere of Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical and the world premiere of the hip-hopera "City Kid" earning a LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award nomination and a NAACP theatre award nomination.. He also was an original cast member of Hunky Dory, an original musical interpretation of the 1971 David Bowie album.

Vox appeared as himself on the reality television series Fight for Fame, Open Call, and the Spike detective series Murder. Vox has appeared in the here! cable station's gothic horror series Dante's Cove as Colin and as a series regular in here!'s vampire series The Lair also playing a character named Colin (although they are different characters).

Dylan Vox as Brad Benton

Under the name Brad Benton, Vox performed in many hard and soft gay pornographic films, including Big Timber, Blades, BuckleRoos, Desperate Husbands, Devil Inside, and Longhorns. and was nominated for over 12 GayVN Awards and 15 Grabby Awards, winning Best Supporting Actor at the GayVN Awards in 2004 and 2005 and nine Grabby awards over all.

Vox has written for a number of LGBT-themed websites and writes a blog entitled "21st - Century Vox." He currently serves as the Sports Editor and as a featured columnist for GayWired.com.

1982 – Two married US Army men are found, fully clothed, in bed together and are accused of sex. They say they only fell on the bed while drunk, but accept honorable discharges rather than fight the charges and possibly receive dishonorable discharges.

Patton's character sheet/background!

Taglist: @hyperfixated-homo @cutebisexualmess @prince-rowan-of-the-forest Please tell me if you'd like to be added/removed!

CWs: Exile, death, animal death(nothing bad I promise, it's just like a mention of it),

Some things to keep in mind, Patton is a centaur. Centaur's live to be about 300 years old in this au. Meaning they mature at a slower rate. He is technically 85, which in human years is about 20-ish not exact math but whatever.

Patton is a small, unhealthily skinny centaur, standing at about 5'2. This is because they were exiled at the young age of 50 years old. Learning how to survive from nature itself, and a new friend who came to help them when they were 67 years old. They have a necklace made of mistletoe which grants them the powers of nature. However they also have the antler of an old deer that they put down. That was the worst day for them but they know that everything dies eventually. However Patton's friend made the antler's into a strong shortbow. Still, Patton had vowed not to eat meat ever again because of that. Wanting to strictly focus on a plant based diet, however that isn't easy when most of the plants are poisonous or rotted by the time you get to them. Anyways, Patton's friend taught them how to use different weapons, and what different signs meant. They even taught Patton how to steal, but made sure to emphasize that Patton should only steal from those who put others down just for a step up, and give it to those struggling, if they can. Patton now resides in the town of Coajot, the city next to the kingdom, doing their best to help others, often times neglecting their own needs to do so.

They are nonbinary and gay.

They are a druid and a rogue

your oc tag intrigues me

can I have some fun facts about kade I see that name a lot and kade seems great

sorry am awkward

Don't worry, you don't seem awkward at all! ^_^ But oh my gosh, I'm going to apologize in advance, because seeing an ask about any of my ocs makes me really happy and I may or may not start rambling a bit. Bear with me here...

Fun facts about Kade:

He's a character from a roleplay between me and my friend

We actually both agreed that he's our favorite character

He's bi

Kade started out in 2015 as a slightly humorous antagonist who was supposed to show up for one plot arc and then disappear forever

We liked him too much, so we brought him back as a side character with a redemption arc

We then liked him SO much that he became a main character

(He was a diamond amongst the trash of our terrible old writing)

He was kinda toxic, kinda manipulative, but also so cringe and sexy, he captivated us

He's like 6'5"+. A beanpole

He's one of our most intelligent characters

I wouldn't say he's got low wisdom necessarily, but his sense of humor is really dumb

He laughs at his own jokes

The first thing he did after being introduced was unsuccessfully attempt to make the lives of everyone around him worse (he didn't have a clear motivation for this)

He loves his cool, scary wife so so much

He started out as a part of a gang, which was initially supposed to add to his ~villainous intimidation factor~ but he was so universally disliked by this gang that it was just kind of sad

He attempted to leave and somehow ended up in an infinitely worse situation (mafia-esque crime organization)

The first thing he did in this organization was form a codepedant relationship with the boss's equally touch-starved and closeted son (Nic)

Their relationship is healthier now, but for a while they both sucked so much. They enabled each others issues, and Kade loved to make Nic mad on purpose

He's polyam, and he's been collecting partners like pokemon cards

His partners have a groupchat that they didn't let him join

He was crushing on his cool, scary wife (Mian) for almost a decade, but she was his bestie and he didn't want to ruin that in case she didn't feel the same way (she did, but the whole time she thought that she just REALLY liked him as a friend)

Still unironically says "epic" (me too)

He had so many vices and issues <3 he still has so many issues

I'm pretty sure he questioned his gender at one point, and he came to the conclusion that he was still cis, but in an Ascended kind of way

He's in his 40s by this point

He has kids, he's genuinely really sweet with them (also collects them like pokemon cards; most of them are adopted. He's not the step dad, he's the dad that stepped up)

Deals with gut-wrenching trauma :(

He almost caused a divorce because a bromance with one of his best friends (Tsubasa) got a little bit too gay

"He has a very punchable face," - a comment I once got on a drawing of him vaping

He has his stupid spiked collar insured

Ate a cigarette more than once

I think we canonized him being autistic shortly after I realized I was autistic, because too many things made a LOT of sense retrospectively

During his wedding vows, he asked the audience to give him a "hell yeah."

I imagine that he smells very subtly like weed and drugstore cologne

He went through a lot of personal growth. Had some issues with toxic masculinity, now he respects women soooo much

He has a special interest in horror films/shows/books/etc. He also just likes film in general

His other thing is math, and all of his partners hate it

I just think he's really neat :)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head rn 💀 but thank you again so much for asking!

Will be two satyrs: one Glees9n, one Grover

A cyclops named Tyson who can AND will roll you over

A wooden plank to short to fuse from my man Zhang Frank

And frankly that should be enough

But my Mrs. O'Leary is teary eyed if I don't take her on the ride

So come try to take a bite out of this crime

Hellhound! Sick em!

Raisin' wild flowers like Demeter

This my pen's call of the wild, Pan

So don't sleep on me hypnosis

Or I promise I'll unleash The Mother Wrath of Hera

I'm half Mr. Alias Nightmare / M.A.N.

And half demisexual demigod

Hm, how kind of odd?

Call me Jude PoetAll

Lupe

Phillip, Fenix, Felix, or Felipe

A novelist I am, ots obvious

So I guess I'm Jarel with the dot

All alter egos on spot

That's why all I ever need is my Kid Ink

And I promise this imagination station will NEVER stop

So here I go

Until the next time I need to swing MY Riptide

Ima sign it with

The Last Olympian

Ways in which I am forced to kin Will Byers because what the fuck

- infp

- he's named Will the Wise by others and himself, my name is Sophie after the Greek word Sofia "wisdom" (and yes my parents made a point to name me this because of the meaning behind it and kept telling me about it for so long djsfkhfdjs they were manifesting i guess)

- he's an artist and has drawn all his life, specifically for other people as a way to socialize and connect to people and express things he can't vocalize easily

- canonly a gifted kid/precocious (could read earlier than others and advanced litterature) based on the comics where he says he reads advanced 16yr old litt at like 10-11 THIS IS SUCH A CALLOUT

- he loves Dragons tigers dinosaurs and fantasy <3

- he's quite reserved, but always has a good word of advice for people

- he can't fucking talk about his own problems even tho talking would litterally solve them

- low self esteem issues

- can't defend himself for shit

- smol

- has been bullied for being different/the weird kid and it was frustrating bc he only was being himself, got a strong feeling of injustice bc of it

- is gay and mostly closeted

- has a bad history with the medical field from a young age, being observed and trying to get "fixed" and privacy invaded, and it impacted his self esteem

- lowkey parental abuse from one of the parents

- divorced parents

- refuses to grow up and it's affecting his relationships and life in a bad way, but also he is a beacon of light in people's lives because sometimes keeping your younger self is good actually

- loves science but sucks at maths

- gives his most prized possessions to others just because. It's to make someone else happy. (i once gave a nintendo to a friend bc he never had any console and my parents pretty much killed me but also were impressed how i did not give a fuck)

- please observe,,,, these drawings fjkhsdfhs

Being a teacher is the weirdest and best job ever.  Like, these kids will lie to me, tell me jokes, go on my nerves in the afternoon, cry in front of me because of their parents or their best friend or a bad mark in Maths or sometimes, like today, they will visit me in my classroom and tell me they’re gay, just because they want to.  Every teacher could write a book about each of their kids, but we don’t because it’s better to just listen, nothing more.  So many times I’ve felt that all they want is someone to listen.  They don’t want any advice or bullshit wisdom from an adult who knows nothing anyway.

I don’t think that’s right but I don’t know enough about math to disprove it

Also mental illness is negative. If you do math and take the square root, the result is imaginary and nothing is wrong with your brain anymore.

Hey, instead of being gay how about you be a floating orb who's conciousness is beyond the mortal realm as we know it, constantly in a state of all experiencing all that was, is, and will be. How about you use that new found experiential wisdom to make the most fucking bitchin version of monopoly to ever exist, I mean I want you to take the version with the cash card so you don't have to do money math and fuse it with the minecraft version so I can make steve and alex go into crippling financial debt due to their lack of fiscal creditory responsibility. I wanna see their house get repossessed. I want them to experience the pain of not being able to scrape together enough for rent, you see, they've had it made for too long, living out their fantasy dreams in an infinite cuboid world, welcome to the real world bitch, you can't just make a fucking dirt hut and eat raw porkchops, that dirt is owned by Coca-Cola and those porkchops will give you intestinal herpes. Fuck you minecraft Steve and minecraft Alex if I ever meet you I'm gonna throw all your diamond tools into lava. I mean you can be gay too, that's cool, just also be an orb for me. I think probably only an orb is badass enough to do something like that, but you know, there is something only YOU in your CURRENT STATE OF BEING, are capable and badass enough to do. Something I am alluding to very mysteriously, and vaguely ominously despite the fact that this is not a threat. I swear it's really not even if I did want to threaten you I wouldn't do it like this i would probably just like threaten to hire a team of elite agents to steal a plane and 9/11 2.0 your legs (only your legs) and instead of a plane maybe they would use a baseball bat, a remote controlled baseball bat, like battle bots, so they would also strip you of your humanity and transform you into a robot before proceeding to beat the robot shit out of you with their superior baseball bat wielding battle bot. Anyway, stop getting me fucking distracted you sorry excuse for a fucking venetian tour guide, god damn, you haven't even show me around on a gondola once, not a single note of mi amore either, jeez, the service here sucks. So yeah, just do me a solid and use your incredible secret power, you wombo combo magic to say bazinga. Yeah. Only you, (smokey the bear) can say bazinga (false, but an orb would not be able to so you need to before you turn into an orb it's mandatory)

Are you okay? Do you need to talk to someone?

Statistics is the best math. Geometry is the worst. There is a type of triangle called ASS. The quadratic formula song will make sure you never forget it but will also haunt you for eternity. Choose wisely.

Why Not? (Might Guy x Pregnant!Reader)

Request: “I just wanna read about gai finding out his partner is pregnant. I feel like gai likes kids a lot and he would be excited and might be one of the best days of his life 😭” but I didn’t read the “partner” part... 👉🏽👈🏽

Word Count: 1,173

Tags/Warnings: Implied sexual themes

Notes: I accidentally misread/misremembered the request by @closetsocialist so I ended up making two versions of this fic. The right interpretation is posted.

Throughout your entire twenty-six year friendship, or more accurately, acquaintanceship, you never expected that you’d have an intimate relationship of any sort with Might Guy. Of course, this isn’t to say you haven’t thought about it before, but never in a million years had you ever thought you’d wake up hungover in Guy’s bed. After all, you were happily single and not one for one night stands. Guy was never that kind of person either, but apparently the both of you changed your minds quickly after a few too many sake.

Unfortunately, you remembered that morning clearly. You had stared at each other with wide eyes. Your fellow Jounin practically burrowed into his bed as you scrambled to change, a sheet still wrapped around your bare body. You left his apartment with a speed you didn’t know that you were capable of. Wordless.

For a month and a half, you made it a point to push that morning out of your memory. But now as you kneeled over your toilet, you couldn’t help but feel dread in the pit of your stomach. The dread moved up your system and you became sick again. There wasn’t a lot about this situation that you were confident in, but one thing you knew for sure was that you were pregnant.

“Retiring?” The Godaime repeated slowly. You nodded, standing stiffly at attention in the center of her office. She blinked at you a few times, leaning forward to rest her elbows on her desk. Lady Hokage spoke your name. “This is the height of your career.” She said simply in disbelief.

“I just think it’s time for a change of pace.” You promptly put, but Tsunade was not convinced. Her eyes narrowed.

“What happened?” She pried. You nearly began to sweat under her heated gaze.

“Nothing at all, Lady Hokage. This is my decision, that’s all.”

And it was. After your years of service to your country, retiring to the countryside with the child you carried didn’t seem so bad. Many shinobi never made it to parenthood after all, so you thought that perhaps your pregnancy was a sign.

You expected more prying, but Tsunade only hummed, looking down towards her desk as she penned a few things down. Silence. You stood quietly in my spot, diverting your attention to random items around the room. Papers, books, boxes, scrolls… You took a step back and Tsunade remained focused on her writings.

“Shall I dismiss myself, Lady Hokage?”

“Ah, yes. See yourself out.” She waved her hand at you. But as you turned to leave, she spoke your name. You pivoted. Her eyes bore into you.

“We do offer maternity leave.” You inwardly cringed. Of course she knew and there was no use lying to her.

“I don’t want it to become a big deal.” You spoke with pursed lips. Tsunade frowned.

“Guy-san is going to find out eventually.” You could have curled up into a ball right there. You didn’t even bother asking how she knew. It wouldn’t have mattered. Tsunade aligned her stack of papers with a tap. “Well, when you decide to come back you’ll have your position waiting for you.” You bowed respectfully.

“That is very kind and generous of you, my Lady. But I do not foresee myself coming back.” In her wisdom and to your relief, Tsunade did not comment on the situation further and dismissed you.

You wouldn’t see her for another seven months, not until the arrival of your baby. The first features you noticed about your son were his massive eyebrows. You probably should have known, given who his father is, but Might Guy lingered far from your mind as you gazed upon the face of your newborn child. You mentally counted your son’s fingers, then his toes. Sitting in your room in the maternity ward, that was all you could bring yourself to do. You wiped away the little bit of dribble that escaped his mouth.

Then a clamor came from the hallway. Then a crash followed by a loud apology. The noise woke your baby, causing him to cry out. And before you knew it, Might Guy stood in your doorway, a large bruise developing on his head. You locked eyes as your child continued to cry.

“Where have you been?” Guy asked, approaching your bed as you immediately began to try to soothe your child. You shushed him, causing Guy to place a hand over his mouth. “Where have you been?” He repeated in a hushed tone.

“I’m retired, Guy.” You told him, slowly but surely getting your son to calm down. Apparently, he was as easy going as his father. “Didn’t Tsunade tell you?”

“Well, of course she told us, but you’ve been gone for…” Guy paused to mentally do the math.

“About nine months?” You questioned, the swaddle falling from around your baby’s face. You could see it in Guy’s face.

“Yeah…” Guy spoke softly, focused on your son. “Ever since…” His eyes shot up to yours. You looked at him expectantly with eyebrows raised, almost spelling out the conclusion in your expression. Guy opened his mouth to speak before closing it again. “Is… is he… m-”

“Yes.” You cut him off before he could finish. You rolled your eyes. “But I fully intend on raising him on my own.” Guy’s forehead crinkled.

“Why-”

“Listen,” You looked at him sternly in the eye. A scowl tugged on the corners of your lips. Fierce independence sparked in your eyes, poorly hidden by a fabricated air of indifference. “You don’t have to do anything. I get it, you don’t want any responsibility and I’m not giving it to yo-”

“No!” Guy interjected with a certain amount of urgency, before once again covering his mouth. “I mean, I want to help. I want to be involved.”

And suddenly, your plans to retire by yourself into the countryside with your son drifted away. You looked around the room, then at your child’s father. Never had you expected that in a situation like this, the father would want to be involved. Apparently, you sorely underestimated Might Guy.

“You what?” You blinked. Your son wriggled in your arms.

“I mean you tell me what you’re comfortable with, but I want to help.” He told you with as much seriousness as you’d ever seen Guy have. “I want to be in his life. I want to be a dad.” You scoffed.

“What?” You laughed bitterly in disbelief. “Look, you don’t have to humor me-”

“I’m not humoring you.”

“You just learned that you had a kid! People don’t make decisions like this just like that.” A certain amount of sourness bled into your tone.

Guy laid a hand on your arm. “If you’d let me, I want to be in this with you. You don’t have to and I know that this is new. But I’m absolutely sure. Please, let me be involved.” You paused, not particularly expecting this response. You took a deep inhale before exhaling forcefully.

“Sure, why not?”

Notes: I’d like to add that I’m not a NSFW writer. The beginning of this wasn’t very detailed and integral to what I wanted to write. Please do not request one night stand stories. Thank you.
