hi your the only german blog i know so can you confirm this: https://at.tumblr.com/namethat-i-oughttohavetoldyou/german-expression-that-gets-memed-to-hell-and/0z69397cxq09

please i just really need to know if germans actually say "horny" at things they like arufjdhfds

Yeah that's pretty accurate

Everything is geil in German

Geiz ist geil

Spaghettieis ist geil

Eine Sau ist geil

Die Sommerrodelbahn ist geil

und die Nachbarin vom dritten Stock, die ist auch geil

I led in bed silently. I hadn't been to sleep yet, gosh I had only just used up all my energy to get to my bed. Of course this has happened to me. It's always me, why can't I ever be happy?

The clock read 9.55 am, yet I still hadn't got out of bed. What was the point? James won't be here, he'll be 'at work'.

Love, something I used to cherish, something I wish to cherish, but I can't, I never will. Love isn't for me, I'm unworthy of being loved.

"I'm staying a few hours over time at work, don't wait up" he used to say, "I love you, I would never do anything to hurt you" he used to say.

What a bunch of lies!

I was bitter. I was resentful. How come Lily Evans was worthy of his love, but I wasn't. Was it me? Was I really unlovable?

It took me a while to get out of bed but I did it, eventually. I didn't want to believe it. He didn't love me...it was all a big fat lie.

It got to 7.45pm that night.

"Love, I'm home!"

Wow, he was early. Must have finished with the other woman earlier.

I stayed silent. I couldn't understand why he had done it, but he had.

"Love, are you alright?" James asked, acting as if nothing was going on.

My voice cracked as I spoke, "I know James"

"Know what?" He replied, acting as clueless as ever

"About Lily, I know"

"Oh...love please let me explain it was all a huge mistake"

"We were meant to be getting married James, this was meant to be my happily ever after. But you ruined it...YOU RUINED EVERYTHING"

"Don't you understand sophia, it was a mistake, I would never marry you."

My heart shattered into millions of pieces in that moment.

"What?" I asked, quietly this time, afraid of my voice cracking again

James sighed and covered his face, "Your the other woman, it's always been Lily, no one else. Your the other woman."

"No, no James, no, SHES THE OTHER WOMAN!" I had completely broke down into tears, I could feel my knees slowly buckling below me, but I didn't care. Not now. Not when all this was going on.

"It's always been Lily, you were just there, so I took you"

"Then why did you ask me to marry you?"

James sighed again, louder this time, looking more agitated."It was a mistake! I would never marry you! Not now, NOT EVER!"

A fresh set of tears started to stream down my face as he turned around and walked out, slamming the door behind him.

"The other woman...Will always cry herself to sleep, the other woman"

And that's exactly what I did, what I was doing most nights. Because I was...the other woman.

A Gentle Reminder

This fic was written all the way back in October 2022 and never posted, because it felt too personal. But with Happy New One being basically the other side of the same coin even though they don't necessarily take place in the same timeline/universe (you know how I am with my conflicting headcanons), I think it's finally time. Maybe tell me what you think? Enjoy, and my love to all who read/like/reblog (especially the last one)! ♥

So much is obvious: She is a tool. She is a weapon, dangerous to approach and even more dangerous to turn one’s back to. She is a toy, a plaything, to be used and thrown away at a moment’s notice. Her claws are sharp and unforgiving, ready to scratch, to hurt, to maim, to kill. And yet…

And yet.

Her body is hers. It is a tool, yes, to dance, to leap, to jump with joy and, less and less, to cower in fear.

It is hers.

She is to decide.

Her mouth and throat are tools, to laugh, to cry, to whisper and scream and to speak and sing, sing, sing.

Her tail is a toy, a plaything for exuberant kittens, who stop and flop down and apologize when she hisses quietly in annoyance or pain at their tiny pinprick teeth and claws.

Her claws are sharp and unforgiving, and she goes to the old sofa with Mistoffelees to sharpen them further, scratching at the armrest until hers gleam and his spark, bright and colourful against his black coat.

Her claws are dangerous, and yet! They are just tools.

Tools to draw flowers into the hard earthy ground in the winter for Jemima, to disentangle George’s tail after he has gotten himself caught up in yet another thistle bush, to knead lumpy bedding so Gus can rest on it more comfortably.

Her claws cause pain.

And they cause pleasure, paws pressed against Bombalurina’s back, claw-tips just skimming the skin under her fire-red coat. Bombalurina’s blissful purr undulates with her movements and rings in her ears even hours later.

She is, all in all, a tool for her environment, with the distinction that she alone decides how she is used.

Just like everyone else.

And she remembers.

Most importantly, she is a cat. So much is obvious.

She remembers that her claws can sheathe, leaving soft paw pads to caress a kitten’s head and to touch another paw in greeting, cautious, but trusting. Unarmed, so to say.

For a while, after she rediscovers this, she gives up on suppressing kittenish urges to shove objects off ledges or bat at tails and ears that don’t move away quickly enough.

(Munkustrap develops the instinct to duck whenever he notices her, and yet his long ears, wiggling with amusement as is their quirk, are never save from her paws.)

She remembers that she is soft, vulnerably so, body and mind forgiving and so desperate to trust, to love. The more she remembers this, the more she notices the reciprocation from all around her.

She is soft and vulnerable, and she has never felt better.

She remembers that she is whole, has been whole, really, for her entire life.

After all, she is still here, still herself, in her entirety. Nothing has been taken from her, on the contrary, she has brought back more than she had left with. Memories, fears, hatred, a dislike for tuna that she can’t really explain, experiences and wariness.

But really, nothing could be taken away from her. Even though some parts may be missing, she is still here.

She is still herself.

That, to her, means she is whole, just as whole as she has always been.

She remembers that she is part of the collective, part of the colony, part of the family.

Even new songs she has never heard before are familiar, and she never dances alone for longer than a few minutes.

The music and energy and magic swells in her chest just like it does for everyone else, including the small, rather personal nudge; there you are. We missed you. Welcome back.

There she is.

And finally, Demeter remembers that she has a name, two, three of them, even, and they are all hers and hers alone.

Hers to give and hers to reveal, except for the third, which is hers to keep to herself.

She feels giddy with this knowledge, like a kitten who has been sworn to keep a secret.

We’re going to give it to her as a gift, but you mustn’t tell anyone!

No-one, no-one! What a wonderful feeling!

Promise you won’t tell?

What a breathtaking sign of trust!

Trust, as well, is hers to give.

She tells Munkustrap in the end.

Nobody loves stories as much as he does, and her telling him her third name takes her from early noon until deep into the night, almost morning, really.

(She isn’t finished quite yet, but they agree to get some sleep before continuing.)

Munkustrap’s ears wiggle with giddiness over having gotten to discover this secret she has decided to share.

Her paw baps at them almost without her notice, already half-asleep.

Demeter is whole. So much is obvious.

(Click -> here <- to read the counterpart fic.) "There you are. We missed you." Recovery can be a beautiful thing, no? It might take a long, long time, but it certainly has its moments. I will not going to go into more detail, so please don't ask me to. All I have to say has been said in the 789 words above. Demeter did always inspire me to experiment with my writing style. Thank you for reading. ♥

What Starlight Express fan fics would you recommend?

Since I don't know your age, I'm gonna disclose if anything is NSFW. Anyway, here are some of my faves.

Firstly, I gotta recommend my friends, Neah writes a lot of Electra/Greaseball, Mara writes a lot of BV stuff, and Kate writes Rusty stuff.

Never or Right Now is a classic. It's one of the first fics I read and it's very very good. Human AU Greased Lightning, with some smut, but mostly story. (and if that hooks you in, I'm gonna recommend her Greased Lightning series (which has considerably more smut, but is still a fun story))

@/workofthediesel, aka ErinisMagic, writes a lot of good stuff, but my faves from them are A Good Place We Find Ourselves, The Outcome of Honesty and Playing Along, and 1:21AM. They're all SFW Rusted Brakes (Rusty/CB) fics, and I think they're lovely.

Rolling Into Starlight (by @/captainmvf) is a very fun human AU. There is some shippy content in there, but on the whole it's more of a slice-of-life thing. Also, pretty funny!

Brake-fast Time (by @/namethat-i-oughttohavetoldyou) was a gift written for me, but even if it wasn't, I would still adore it!!! I love Odines writing style, it's lovely! And I do love some good old OLC-Electraboose.

The Pesto Pasta Household. Funny <3

Lazulia also has some good fics, tho most of what I've read from them is smut.

Oh and umm. I also write. Just little drabbles mostly.

Quick moments that absolutely made my week in Vienna. Even though I am so very, very emotional and sad today -- I really do want to emphasize what an incredible opportunity it was to see this show 6 times before it closed.

--Seeing Riccardo Sinisi ALL SIX SHOWS, which was completely unexpected. Getting to see his Mistoffelees twice!

--Seeing Florian Fetterle in his last show as Munkustrap

--Seeing Alex Snova in his last show as Tugger. Getting to meet Alex Snova after the show and getting the opportunity to tell him how much his Tugger means to us and finding out what a beautiful and gracious person he is

--Getting together with @peterpandiedtoday, @cryptidvoidwritings and @namethat-i-oughttohavetoldyou for an Epic Cats Squad! Especially as the latter came in full gorgeous cosplay as Munkustrap for our last show!

--Sneaking in to ask Gerben Grimmius for an autograph and immediately being asked for our names and their spellings and then having him actually super interested in us and asking about ourselves and our opinions about the show, Vienna vs. U.S. Tour, and finally ending when we admitted we weren't here to see Miss Saigon with a knowing look "Ah You're Hot for Cats!". 😂 Promised he would "look out for us" and he did indeed--got full on blinks from Skimble as acknowledgement at the last show. What an absolute class act.

--Dropping off little notes to the cast at the Stage door earlier in the week and being completely caught off guard when Alex Auler figured out I must be the American who wrote the note and getting profusely thanked while expressing pleased surprise that two of us had flown from the U.S. just to see Cats. He was absolutely lovely and the sweetest (including obviously trying to comfort us being so sad about the show closing).

--Matthew Levick *also* asking if I was "the one who wrote the card" and saying how nice it was. Also he signed my programme with a smiley face!

--Getting to see Matt Levick's final Misto and the long, long applause for him at the end--so well deserved!

--Seeing Barbara Obermeier as Grizabella and the long held applause at the end of both Memories. I cried. It was the best I've ever heard. Her voice is so beautiful and powerful and she is my favorite Grizabella

--Saturday's show where the audience gave a standing ovation long after the kitties had left and on through the closing music

--Aulerstrap Aulerstrap Aulerstrap.

--Alex Auler holding the High Note during Alt Deuteronimus longer and sweeter than usual

--Dominik Hees going up a register during his part of Alt Deuteronimus

--Birgit Arquin was on FIRE for Bomba this whole week. Phenomenal.

--Dominic Hees just basically going feral during the show and wandering into everyone's number whether he was supposed to be there or not

--Riccardo Admetus laying his head in Snova Tugger's lap during Gus

--The Raffish Crew my Beloved

--Nick Li popping out of the Stage Door like a Ray of Sunshine and telling us he was happy to be accosted and "loved going down the line" to sign autographs!

--A fan presenting Riccardo Sinisi with a beautiful drawing of himself as Carbucketty and his being so genuinely touched. Then to have Nick Li lean over and ask "Who is *that*?" with Riccardo responding exasperatedly "That's my FACE" and Nick "Oh I didn't recognize it you look so *young*" THESE TWO I SWEAR

--Talking about the show on the way home only to realize that there are Cats in the Train and we'd better lower our voices and hope we didn't embarrass ourselves

--Getting to see the show with friends and Cats fans. Won't ever forget it.
