[keeps-ache]

watched Pride and Prejudice and Zombies 👍

[jazzyoranges]

Tara Carpenter nsfw headcanons

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

incredibly cuddly. like… baby koala cuddly

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

her favorite body part on you is your tummy or arms. Tara likes to hold on to anything she can while cumming, and your arms always seem to be accessible. Tara’s favorite part of her body are probably her thighs. she thinks it’s cute you’re so enamored with them

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

g!p or not, Tara wants you to cum on her face. you once asked her what the obsession was and she responded with “Baby Tate says nut keeps that skin clean” with a shrug, and you’re left a little dumbfounded afterwards

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

before you got together and were just friends, you let Tara borrow a hoodie. she’s masturbated in that hoodie far more times than she’s liked to admit. after time it looses its smell of you, but you’re already together so she can now have the real thing anytime she wants

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

she’s had a few hookups here and there. Tara knows what she’s doing, but she’s always figuring out ways to make you cum :)

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Tara likes positions where she can see your face. something about how intimate it is watching your dumb little smile while Tara’s furiously bouncing on your fingers like she’s in heat

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

kind of in between, slightly (very slightly) leaning towards sillier. both of you kinda just go with the flow and it works out

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Tara shaves once in a while. countless times you’ve said you don’t care, so she mainly does it for herself

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

such a fucking romantic. this girl can be so corny sometimes it’s not funny. she’s just in a constant state of :3 all the time

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Before your relationship, Tara simply masturbated at pictures and scenarios she’d make up in her head. Now, Tara purposefully masturbates to tease you. Pictures and videos of her moaning your name or you’d come home to a needy Tara knuckle-deep in her pussy

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

…humiliation. she’s your whore, and your whore only :) g!p or strap-on, she likes it when your cock slaps against her face.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

definitely your apartment. sam was so close to finding out once. despite how her orgasm felt so much better afterwards, the heart attack wasn’t worth it

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

you hate it, but Tara likes when you get jealous. she doesn’t make you jealous on purpose cause she knows it’s one of your insecurities but when you do… she likes how your eyes darken. her usually happy and upbeat partner staring down someone? hot.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

knives are completely out of the question for obvious reasons. also, cuckholding. as much as she’s yours, you’re also hers and Tara doesn’t like to share

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

definitely giving. hearing you moan is music to her ears

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Tara definitely likes going slow, but only because she loves to edge you. sometimes you get impatient and start to take control and Tara lives for it

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

loves quickies. this woman can’t get her paws off your body for one second. you’re happy to indulge in your girlfriend so it’s okay

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

definitely likes to experiment! butt plugs, mirrors, cameras, she likes experimenting

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

i’d say Tara can go for 3, maybe 4 before she’s completely drained of energy

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

g!p or not, Tara loves her trusty strap. it’s about average in length, but god is it thick

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Tara teases you within reason. nothing too mean, but just enough she knows she’s not going to be able to walk tomorrow. so like… lots of nudes

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

you’ve gotten multiple noise complaints. it was not fun when an older lady confronted you about your… lovemaking with Tara

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

one time she accidentally called you mommy… let’s just say you happily fed into her kink

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Tara has noticeable bruises on her lower hips due to you gripping on her love handles like your life depended on it

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

borderline high. Tara won’t do anything you don’t want to do, even if she really wants to. worst comes to worst, you edge her until there’s tears in her eyes if she was being a brat

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

if she’s overstimulated or done most of the moving, the woman is out like a fucking light. Tara can still function after having sex, but she does prefer a nap or going to bed after

top 5 funniest mtg combos. not best, just funniest

I'm gonna limit this to ones that use tournament legal cards, and not ones that use the much sillier silver border cards that dip into weird territory that can get you results like "tear your hand in half" or "destroy every magic card" or "force your opponents to do the hokey pokey ad infinium"

5. The combo that puts your entire deck into the command zone (normally, no cards go to the command zone except the one or two things that started in there if you're playing the right format)

4. Okay you know how I said we wouldn't be using silver border cards? Well check this out. This combo makes a silver-border card relevant using entirely tournament legal cards. This combo would be higher, except the rules have now changed so this doesn't work. If you make a token without specifying the name, it's now [subtype] token instead of just [subtype].

3. The combo that makes mtg a turing complete game (special bonus points to this one for being an actual paper)

2. The combo that builds on mtg being turing complete with this nonsense

1. The combo that turns mtg into Uno

⁺ ˳ ☆ YEONJUN + ACTS OF AFFECTION !

✦ content‎: ‎yeonjun x gn!reader. fluff. 0.4k wc.

( 연준. ) 🍓 kisses all over

yeonjun's love language is physical affection, and you're his favorite person, so it's no surprise that kissing you is one of his favorite things to do.

it's not limited to just your lips though. hands, neck, cheeks, forehead— if he can see it, he'll kiss it. you don't like how parts of your body look? he's kissing the insecurities away.

if you're sad, he'll pepper kisses all over your face, just so you know he's there and that he loves you, and nothing makes him happier than seeing you smile in response.

if you're busy and he wants attention, though, he'll kiss you on the lips. usually it's a deep, breathtaking kiss that demands you pay attention to him— the type of kiss that you definitely can't ignore.

( 연준. ) 🍓 cute nicknames.

nicknames are a very intimate thing to him and he feels smug that he's one of the only ones who can call you by them.

although he's a sucker for classic ones like baby and darling, he also likes calling you sillier nicknames like lovebug, puppy, and cutie.

but he'll always make sure you're okay with it, and he'll avoid using nicknames that you don't like, even if he's just teasing.

( 연준. ) 🍓 cooking for you

jjunie isn't yet entirely confident in his cooking skills, but he'll do his best to learn how to cook all your favorite foods so he can make them for you whenever you want!!

especially if you've had a bad day or you feel tired, he'll cook something you enjoy a lot, and seeing you cheer up when eating his food makes him feel really happy and proud <3

it's just an added bonus that he enjoys cooking, and if you're interested he'll definitely teach you the recipes he knows!! nothing will make him happier than cooking something together with you.

( 연준. ) 🍓 taking pictures of you

from date selcas with him to photos of you when you fall asleep watching a movie, 90% of yeonjun's gallery is just pictures of you, and it's been that way ever since you started dating. no trip with yeonjun is complete without him bringing out his camera and taking some polaroids of the two of you.

if you take pictures of him too? he'll upload them and mention you in the captions with a heart next to your name. most of them are for your eyes only though, and it makes him unbelievably happy to see you set a picture of him as your lockscreen or wallpaper.

whenever he misses you, he scrolls through his gallery and looks at photos of you— but that just makes him miss you more, and he always ends up calling you and telling you how glad he is to hear your voice <3

Can you write how the hunting dogs would react if jouno is a complete sweetheart to his S/o? If not, That's okay, don't stress yourself ((: <3

Aww this is so sweet I love it. It's a bit sillier than I intended it to be but it kinda matches the group dynamic of the hunting dogs. Hope you enjoy♡

°☆○

7:24♡

𝑱ō𝒏𝒐 𝒙 𝒇𝒆𝒎!𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓

𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: fluff/ silly♡

𝑻𝒆𝒕𝒄𝒉ō

let's start off with our sweet boy

I feel like he's quite unfazed by Jouno's saccharine affections; he knows that at heart his colleague is a good person

but he still feels awkward sometimes

he's lowkey happy for the two of you and the fact that Jouno finally has a safe space to express his love

Tetchou likes to observe the sweet, little interactions between you (especially when you think no one's watching) and smiles so gently

if Jouno is especially annoying one day he'll tease him about it; "Jouno how can you be so nice to Y/N but so mean to me?"

It was Monday morning and Jouno was once again smothering you with kisses. He only indulged in these affections when he wasn't at the headquarters.

The three of you were currently on a mission and decided to take a coffee break. You and your boyfriend were on one side of the wooden table and Tecchou on the other; awkwardly tracing the outline of the cup he was holding.

"Darling do you want a sip of my coffee? Or maybe a slice of cake or another kiss?" asked Jouno in a playful voice as he leaned in, placing another peck on your plump lips.

"Sai please stop we're in public" you protesed but the tender tone of your voice hinted the opposite. You were enjoying this display of affection just as much as he did; a rosy colour tinting your cheeks as soon as your partner pulled away from you.

Tetchou couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy around you. He felt like an intruder, interrupting such a private and peaceful moment. Nevertheless he felt a warm feeling blooming in his chest as he watched the two of you.

He was happy that his colleagues found comfort in one another and enjoyed your sweet interactions. A childish smile rose to his lips as you leaned in, kissing Jouno's nose.

𝑻𝒆𝒓𝒖𝒌𝒐

she always makes snarky comments about the two of you and teases Jouno, saying that he's growing soft and all that

but in fact shs's really supportive of your relationship

the first time she saw him willingly kiss you in front of them after a mission her heart exploded

if you ever go out together she's like mama y papa, mama y papa

You and Teruko were just about to end one of your infamous girls' night out. Spending half of your salary on expensive dinners and elegant dress you were probably never going to wear was something you did at least once a month.

"Shall I call us a cab, Y/N?" asked the woman as you exited the dimly lit restaurant.

"Actually Jouno's going to pick us up. He said he can also drive you home."

Teruko's brows furrowed, a look of obvious concern on her face "How does a blind man even get a driving license? Is that possible?"

"I dunno. Beats me" you chuckle "But it's Jouno after all."

"Fair enough"

Soon enough a car pulled in front of the two of you and your boyfriend stepped out of it. With a wide smile on his face he pulled you in for a hug, twirling you once.

"How's my beautiful girl doing tonight? Did you have fun?" he asked in a tender voice as he placed you back on the ground.

"As per usual we had a great time" you beamed, urging Teruko to get into the backseat.

Jouno quickly opened the passanger door and, with a bow, gestured you to take a seat.

"Wow Jouno I didn't know you were such a gentleman. Looks like Y/N trained you well" teased the rosy haired woman as your boyfriend occupied the driver's seat, turned on the engine and drove off.

In the rear-view mirror she could see her colleague's lips curl into a sly smile at the sound of her words

"I am always well mannered with beautiful ladies, Teruko." he replied in the same tone.

"But you never opened a door for me or- Wait. Are you saying that I'm ugly you idiot" yelled the young woman, causing you to burst out laughing.

"Just wait 'till we're out of the car Jouno I'll beat your ass." pressed Teruko.

"Hey guys, be civil" you added between giggles.

Teruko pouted, crossing her arms over her chest as she laid back in her seat. She caught a glimpse of Jouno's smirk in the mirror but didn't dare say another word as not to ruin your wonderful evening.

"You're lucky I like your girlfriend. You'd be dead otherwise."

"Yea, yea kiddo. Don't forget to fasten your belt." mocked the man.

Teruko didn't find this conversation amusing; she hated being given a taste of her own medicine but she couldn't deny how happy she was to hear your laughter. You've been friends ever since you joined the Hunting dogs and she knew that getting together with Jouno was the best thing that happened in your life; probably in his too. So she was willing to let the man's jokes slide.

As the three of you drove home Teruko's gaze remained fixated on your pinky, which was loosely interlocked with your boyfriend's on the shifter; a smile rising to her lips.

𝑻𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂

out of all the hunting dogs he's the most confused and shocked

what happened to the cold hearted Jouno? he could be arguing with Tetcho about some trivial matters but the second you step foot in the room he has a wide smile on his face and hugs you???

nevertheless he's happy for the two of you and constantly reminds you of that

he does sometimes tease Jouno about it tho but in a sweet way

Tachihara had his suspicions about Jouno's crush on you but he didn't expect you to start dating so soon. It's been two weeks since he last saw his fellow colleagues and he was shocked to find you and Jouno cuddling on the cushioned couch in the back of the conference room.

"Uh... What's that?" he asked Teruko, barely able to conceal his surpirse as he pointed at the two of you.

"Oh them? They've been at it for a week now. Jouno's all over her all the time really they're quite enamoured."

Before he got the chance to reply, the captain stepped foot in the room and announced the beginning of the meeting.

You and Jouno haistly rose from the sofa and occupied your designated seats opposite to his.

During the meeting he kept stealing quick glances at the two of you: that giddy smile never left Jouno's face for a second.

As soon as Fukuchi dismissed you, you all went to your offices to finish the last reports for the day. Tachihara decided not to let this opportunity go to waste and walked after Jouno.

"Hey man. How're you doing?"

His colleague nodded "Quite well actually. And you?"

Tachihara had never heard Jouno sound so light-hearted in his entire life; a sense of pride and joy washed over him.

"I'm great too actually. It's good to be back. What I wanted to say... Congrats. I'm happy for you and Y/N."

Jouno's face turned a light shade of pink upon hearing his words, his lithe fingers adjusting the collar of his vest.

"Thanks, Hara. I'm happy too."

𝑭𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊

secretely hoped that the two of you would date from the beginning

he's still surprised by how affectionate Jouno is with you

gives you that half smirk of his (y'all know what I'm talking about) when he sees you holding hands under the table during a meeting or hugging throughout the day

tries to avoid pairing you up on missions cuz there's a big chance y'all get distracted

It was a usual Friday afternoon and Fukuchi had summoned you all in the conference room to hold the weekly debrief meeting.

"So. What's the status of your missions?" he asked in his usual stern voice.

Tachihara was the first to speak. He talked about the Mafia's plans and recent activity but soon started rambling on about what the other mafia members were doing in their free time. Fukuchi didn't interrupt him and actually tried to pay attention to what the redhead was saying but his throughts slowly drifted off to the bottle of sake hidden in his desk.

To take his mind off of the alcohol he scanned the room; his gaze slid idly from Tachihara to Tetchou, who was doing pushups behind his chair then to the opposite side of the table: to you and Jouno.

His lips curled into a smirk when he saw that the white haired man was toying with your fingers in his lap, tracing their outline.

You were doing your best to remain composed as your boyfriend glided his nails along the skin of your forearm. Everyone knew how ticklish you were.

Seeing this innocent display of affection truly pleased the old man, who secretely rooted for you ever since you joined the team. He was however surprised by how doting Jouno was; always by your side, holding your hand, kissing your forehead when he thought no one was watching, allowing you to doze off on his shoulder after a straining mission or buying you cups of coffee from a nearby shop when you needed an energy boost.

Tachihara's voice suddenly snapped him out of his trance.

"Captain, are you still listening?" inquired the redhead.

He quickly striaghtened his back and cleared his throat before speaking.

"Yes, please go on."

And so Tachihara went on detailing Port Mafia's plans while he tried his best to ignore the hushed words you shared with Jouno.

Sillier question but what’s the embarrassing story that Steve and Eddie pull out way too often from the girls childhood? Like the one you KNOW is getting told in the wedding speech cause it’s cute but also a touch embarrassing to the girls but the parents have a very fond memory of.

HA okay so Moe's is 100% the "my dad needs a fucking margarita" story. That moment is basically Harrington family lore and she never lives it down.

Robbie's story is really only embarrassing to her, and only while she's younger. When she was little (toddler age, think 2 or 3), Steve and Eddie showed her Wizard of Oz for the first time and she fell head over heels in love with it, so much so that she goes through a phase where she flat out refuses to be referred to as Robbie. She only answers to Dorothy, and she has the dress and the ruby slippers and Steve does her hair in pigtails, and it's one of those things that he and Eddie never want her to grow out of. Obviously, she does, and tough-guy Robbie is completely mortified by it and never wants anyone to bring it up (they bring it up all the time).

Hazel's is a little bit like Moe's, except that while Moe knew exactly what she was saying, Hazel had no idea. Basically, Robin and Nancy had taken Hazel for the day and while they were at the mall, Robin (completely forgetting she had a child with her), pointed a flannel out to Nancy and said, "Do you like this for me or do you think it's too dyke-y?"

Now, Hazel had never heard this word before, and because it had been used completely conversationally (Nancy didn't even react to it) she just absorbed it into her lexicon just like every other word she encountered and moved on with her day.

A week or so later, Steve took her to run some errands and Hazel pointed out a (very similar-looking) flannel, looked up at her dad with her sweet little face, and asked, "Is this dyke-y?"

Steve was completely speechless.

FICTOBER DAY 5- Can I Hold Your Hand?

Here is day 4, a bit of cutie dadrry <3 Enjoy!

FICTOBER Prompt list and Masterlist

Patreon

WC-700+

-------

“Can I hold your hand?” The small voice peeped up at him. Their son in his train conductor costume had been insistent that he was too big to hold his father’s hand, he was a big boy now and he could do trick or treating all by himself. 

Y/N pushed the baby carriage, his little sister still a drooly little baby with a plush pumpkin costume on her body and a tiny hat on her head to keep her warm as the october air chilled up. His wife was dressed up in a poodle skirt and letterman jacket, a little tie around her neck and a bouncy ponytail bobbing as she walked. Harry had chosen function this halloween, wearing jeans and a black leather jacket. His saddle shoes were the only thing he purchased for the getup, his hair slicked back in a 50’s like manner- except that one strand that escaped and curled over his head. Y/N had been adamant he not try and fix it, it apparently did something to her. 

“Yeah? Not too big to hold my hand now, mate?” He teased, placing his hand down for the smaller one to take. Their gait was slow, their son not the fastest with his Thomas the Tank Engine soft cut out around his body. It made him a big more clumsy, too, which is why Harry was glad Y/N had put knee guards and gloves on him.

“No. I’m am big, but I don’t like all the noises.” He tried to maintain, but the spooky music filtering through the neighborhood and sound effects of the motion sensor activated decor making the poor thing jump. Hell, one of those things had even made Harry clutch his chest as he had approached the front door to ring for candy. What was with these things getting more and more accessible to the public? He remembered the only time he used to see these things were in haunted houses he went to in uni. Now it seemed everyone on the block had a jumpscare waiting to strike. Stupid screaming skeleton. 

“It’s okay, baby.” Y/N crooned. “Did you know that on one of our first dates, Daddy took me to see a movie and got so scared he screeched?” It was true, but it was justified. Most of the room had jumped or made a noise too- it just so happened that his had been a bit more loud and high pitched than he would have liked. 

Harry looked at her with narrowed eyes, scoffing as his wife grinned like the little shit she was. Really? “Are you ever going to let me live that down? I told you, it was just a bad jump scare. You jumped too.” He looked towards their son, who was giggling simply because Y/N was. “Mumma’s being silly. It’s not a bad thing to scream either, it’s natural.” 

“But you’re so big and old, Daddy. You can’t get scared.” He giggled, his fingers squeezing on to Harry’s as they approached another pathway to go up to the house. It was decked out in cobwebs and had some cool orange and purple lighting, spooky sound effects filtering through hidden speakers in the bushes. The howl of a wolf sounded, having him step closer to Harry’s leg. “You go with me?”

“What’s this, then hm? Make fun of me for being scared and then asking me to go?” He ruffled the conductor hat on his head. “You’re lucky I love you loads and Mumma is afraid of the spiders in those webs or I’d made you go with her.” It was all in jest, Y/N simply shrugging. How was she supposed to know what spiders were fake or real? It would be a perfect place for one to hide and jump into her hair!

“It’s okay to be afraid of things, baby. Your father is just silly. Even sillier than me.” Her hand came up to squish Harry’s chin, letting her lipstick give a big kiss mark on his cheek, the bright red in the perfect shape of her lips. When she pulled back, there were loud giggles as the mark was revealed. Harry didn’t mind, clearly, blushing slightly as he knew exactly what she had done, but to their son it was apparently the funniest thing in the world. Y/N shot him a playful glare before threatening him with the same.  “Go on, then. Or you’re getting a kiss mark from me too. Grab Mumma a chocolate if there is one.”

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ FUSSY BOY

pairing: cg!lottienat x little!masc!reader

summary: during group therapy, you break down into regression and can’t seem to stop crying and lottie and nat figure out how to calm you down.

tags: sfw, fluff, age regression, reader is regressed to age 1-3, mama!lottie, daddy!nat, he/him nat, pacifiers, crying

you couldn’t take the embarrassment anymore after spilling your guts in one of lottie’s group therapy sessions. she’s been wanting you to do one of these for a while now, noticing how you’ve been struggling mentally and emotionally.

she wanted you to regress for weeks now, not wanting to you to keep it all bottled up inside. when it was your turn to share, it was like the bottle overflowed and everything came pouring out.

you left the cabin sobbing, lottie dismissing the class and ran after you. she lost sight of you but heard some whining in the backwoods of the compound.

lottie finally found you, back against a tree with your knees up to your chest, whimpering and sucking on your shirt, something that you do when you don’t have a pacifier.

“oh sweetie… mama’s here.” her voice was soft, crouching down to your level. “can you tell mama how old you are?”

you put up two fingers but removed one shortly after. lottie’s expression softened even more at this. “such a little boy.” she smiled, scooping you up effortlessly and walking back to her personal cabin away from everyone else.

she shushed your little whines and cries all the way back, bouncing you while she opened the door. you didn’t know nat was on the bed, writing in a book.

“hey, what’s wrong?” his eyebrows furrowed when he saw you in tears. “he broke down in group therapy and ran out into the woods. he’s really little, probably 1 or 2.” lottie started bouncing you again, taking your shirt out of your mouth and replacing it with a pacifier she found in one of her drawers.

“you’re okay, fussy boy,” nat got up and walked over to you and lottie. the two watched you eventually calm down, the sound of you sucking on your paci filling the room.

“that’s a good boy,” nat caressed your cheek. “it’s okay. you don’t gotta cry, baby. can you smile? can you smile for daddy?” he spoke in a sillier baby voice. he tickled your tummy, watching a little smirk form on your lips behind your pacifier.

“there’s that handsome smile!” nat exclaimed, lottie smiling along with him. “let’s get you changed, smiley boy. you got your little shirt all wet.” lottie placed you on the bed going to the other room to get you some pajamas. nat got to undressing you, trying to get you happier by tickling you some more.

they get you into some age appropriate clothes, a red shirt with a little fire truck on it, and leaving you in your briefs and socks. “there you go, cutie.” lottie pinched your cheek after slipped on you shirt.

lottie took the rest of the day off from the compound to spend with you and nat, watching tv and movies, and playing with your toys.

hey! I saw your request for asks and was wondering, could you do brian/tim with an autistic s/o? I feel like tim honestly might be more understanding but I just wanna know your personal headcanons :)

☼︎ Autistic S/O ☼︎

⊹ฺ Requested by a lovely Anon! ♡

⊹ฺ Characters: Tim Wright, Brian Thomas (Marble Hornets)

⊹ฺ Contains: Romantic or Platonic context, really (both work); Mainly me just kinda thinking about the boys, haha; SFW

⊹ฺ Note: Thank you for the request!! I would have posted this closer to when it was sent in, but I wanted to be awake enough to properly think about it! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

(Edit Note: I'm sorry if these are underwhelming, I've had a weird few weeks. <3)

—

✧ General

⊹ฺ I fully agree with Tim being more "understanding." And it's not that Brian isn't - I don't know how to explain it.

⊹ฺ Tim is more "sensory friendly" (I can't think of another way to phrase it, I've had an exhausting last few days, haha).

→ Tim is more low-key. He likes comfort and control and predictability. He's also on the quieter side.

→ That's not to say that Brian isn't also like that! To me, he just always seemed to be the one more open to change, surprises, etc. He's sillier, more outgoing.

⊹ฺ Both are very considerate, though.

→ Tim and Brian are both very mindful, even if it takes a second to catch on if you need something.

→ I feel like there are times where Tim is so focused on whether or not he is doing okay at any given moment that he forgets about those around him.

→ Brian is the opposite most of the time, where he's distracted by things around him, but will also occasionally be focused on himself to the point of not thinking of anything/anyone else.

( → Both are indicative of nearby

danger.)

lusopp au where they’re both content creators!!

luffy’s most popular videos are his mukbangs and parkour/stunt videos. usopp always goes viral for his horror game let’s plays, but he posts a wide range of content from art to chemistry to gardening.

one day, ace shows luffy one of usopp’s videos (feat. franky) where he’d been blowing random shit up and he falls down a rabbit hole of watching usopp discuss bug facts, obscure celebrity impressions, and tutorials of how to recruit an army of 8000 warriors.

luffy thinks usopp is the most hilarious person ever, so he reaches out and practically demands that they meet. usopp, who’s been subscribed to luffy forever positively freaks and almost passes out when they finally do meet in person. his nerves soon fall away when he realizes that luffy is even sillier and more friendly than he appears in his videos and over text.

cue them becoming fast friends and the internet’s favourite new duo! luffy gets usopp to join his mukbangs and stunt videos, they play video games together on usopp’s channel, and they have spider wars while luffy helps usopp set up his latest garden.

usopp generally tries to avoid reading comments due to past events, but even he can’t ignore all of the shipping that goes on in his livestream chats, especially because he’s head over heels for luffy and is petrified that his feelings are obvious for the world to see.

lots of ‘hopeless’ pining on usopp’s part. he doesn’t realize that luffy has been flirting with him the whole time because 1.) he never thought he had a chance and 2.) luffy’s brand of flirting is not subtle but definitely not traditional. easy to misinterpret for a nervous guy like usopp.

one day they’re live streaming and luffy reads a comment, which says luffy should just kiss usopp to make it obvious that he likes him. luffy brightens up, because it’s a great idea that he should’ve thought of sooner!

usopp’s in the middle of ranting about the latest enemy in the video game they’re playing when luffy turns, grabs his cheeks, and pulls him into a kiss.

“usopp!” he exclaims when they part. “i like you! be my boyfriend, okay?”

and usopp’s so stunned but so, so delighted by the confession. he whispers an, “okay” and pulls luffy into another kiss before he remembers that they’re live and ends the stream with an embarrassed yell.

the video clip of their confession is #1 on trending for a week. <3

Cosmere Characters: What Kind of Drunks They Are

In honor (?) of New Year's Eve, here's what I think Cosmere characters are like when they get really drunk.

1. Adolin: An Affectionate Drunk

I think Adolin's Evi-side comes out way more when he's drunk, and that he allows himself to be way more touchy-feely than Alethi sensibilities usually allow.

Adolin: And a hug for YOU and a hug for YOU and an extra big hug for YOU and--oh! no hug for you? Okay! Air hug for YOU and then a hug for YOU... Kaladin: Does he really have to do this EVERY time it's time to leave the bar? Shallan: He just doesn't want anyone to feel left out.

2. Elhokar: A Weepy Drunk

I mean...this one is lowkey canon, right?

Elhokar: And THEN after beating me up to PROVE that all of my guards love HIM more, he told me he was DATING my MOTHER Elhokar: [sobbing into his wine] Bartender, definitely not getting paid enough: That, uh, rough, buddy?

3. Siri: A Silly Drunk

I believe that the more Siri drinks, the sillier she gets.

Siri: Vivenna, Vivenna, look! Look! Siri: I'm wearing this napkin as a HAT! Vivenna (expressionless): How zany and fun. Siri: Ha, ha, I know, right?!

4. Vivenna: A Sensible Drunk

I like to think Vivenna DOES relax if she's drunk, but not once does she lose her sense of responsibility.

Vivenna: Ah, ah, ahh! No more wine for you until you drink this glass of water, mister! Vivenna (leaning in, whispering to the bartender): Maybe make this next vodka soda a little light, eh? Siri definitely won't notice. Vivenna: Everybody has enough snacks, right?

5. Kelsier: A Jolly Drunk

When sober, Kelsier forces himself to smile so that the Lord Ruler doesn't win. When drunk, I think he works extra hard to make sure he is smiling, and the result is a sort of unhinged jocularity.

Kelsier: Marsh, lighten up! It's a party and you're scowling into your whiskey like it stole your horse! Marsh: I have to balance out your increasingly unhinged rictus smile, brother. Kelsier: ... Marsh: ... Kelsier: Think our expressions are way nobody is coming near us? Marsh: Are we bad at parties?

6. Yumi: A Wild Drunk

Yumi is so bottled up all the time, that if she let herself go, I think she'd go wild. But, like, "wild" as she would define it.

Yumi: [giggling to herself] Painter: What's so funny? Yumi: Nikaro! I just made myself this drink, and guess what? Guess what?? Yumi: I only stirred it with FOUR of the ceremonial spoons, not five! Yumi: I'm totally out of control! Painter: There are ceremonial spoons?!

7. Veil: A Competitive Drunk

I know we see what Veil is like when drinking in canon. But this is canon in my heart.

Veil: Rock! Get over here! I wanna beat you at arm wrestling!

8. Szeth: A Creepy Drunk

The big talking sword strapped to his back probably doesn't help.

Adolin: Hey, Kaladin, any idea why my father's bodyguard is sitting in the corner staring unblinking into the crowd? Adolin: Is he, like, choosing someone to kill? Kaladin: Don't worry. I have my eye on him. Kaladin: Syl is ready, just in case. Szeth (in his head): Dalinar will be so proud of me for making consistent eye contact at this party, just like he told me too. Szeth: (in his head): I hope nobody can tell I'm drunk.

Yuki and Performativity: the autistic mask

(aka the analysis I've been trying to figure out how to format for like 3 weeks)

Okay, so now that Yuki's autism has been ~established~ (here, but I'm just going to pretend everyone was following along), I'm really really interested in the subtle ways that that presents itself in his characterization.

Because Re:member does a really great job of making it obvious, because it's written in Yuki's perspective (at least in vol 2) and so heavily flavored with his own though process. But It's equally present in his characterization in the anime (and I assume the game, but I'm not caught up so we're just going based on the anime here). And a lot of that time, that characterization is so delightfully subtle that I didn't even pick up on it the first time through. But now I'm obsessed and I'm Noticing Things and y'all must suffer with me. so.

I think it's fair to say that Yuki's blunt and cold nature are features of his autism. Also probably the fact that he is extremely awkward when it comes to emotions and, notably for this discussion, expressing them. (oh to be a fire extinguisher)

But he's also really good at acting. And I'm making some assumptions here based on my own experiences, but I figure this comes in large part from the amount of effort he puts into trying to read others. He picks apart other people's interactions to figure out why they're reacting certain ways because he doesn't Get It.

And so he uses that in his every day life. Like, you wouldn't really figure someone so extremely autistic and introverted would make for a very good idol, what with the whole "having to interact with people all day every day" thing -- and he didn't want to be an idol! He just wanted to make his music and have people appreciate it! In fact, he looked down on idols at first, which probably had more to do with him undervaluing their artistic integrity (or at least I imagine that's how he would frame it), but he is very explicit about how he doesn't like how people fawn over him (read: idols) because of their looks rather than on the merits of the music.

Anyway. One of the key features of his characterization is that he's always acting. Always. There are a handful of moments we see him in the anime where he's not playing a role, even and particularly when he's off stage.

I've talked before (here) about Re:vale's introduction and how from the very first moment we see them, they're On. Not just in their initial prank on i7 where they pretend to be serious and scary, but also in the bubbly happy personas they present afterwards. They drop one mask for another, and at no point are they ever not wearing their idol stage personas. This is relevant to i7 for reasons but for this discussion rant it's relevant because this is how Yuki engages with the world. There are only a handful of times where we ever see him truly drop his guard -- usually only when he's alone with Momo, and occasionally around Yamato, which will be relevant in a bit. (And one other very notable time towards the end of season 3, but we'll get there.)

Anyway. He's only ever comfortable when he's playing a role. Which is never explicitly established, and I love it all the more for that, because they're totally content to just let you pick up on that without shoving it in your face. But they introduce it in ways that are subtler than I even thought at first. Because at first I was like, "okay, well he's got his stage ikemen persona, and he's got his sillier tsukkomi routine, and he's got his darker prankster who genuinely seems to be enjoying your discomfort persona (which is probably the one among them that's closest to his reality, because he really does seem to enjoy teasing and making people uncomfortable even when he's not On)

But literally any time he has to engage with someone, he falls back on a performance. A myriad of them, in as many different faces as he needs. And even when he tries to be genuine, he'll fall back on that performative role as soon as someone offers him an out. He will become whatever other people need or want him to be, so long as it doesn't involve being himself.

We see this particularly clearly while Yamato's struggling with his role in Mission and Yuki comes to him in a genuine effort to help

You can see the transformation in Yuki's face : Yamato has offered him a role, and he is now going to take that and run with it.

He steps into that role as easily as that, and from there on out, everything he says, while still true to his own beliefs, is very heavily shaded by his new performance as a criminal psychologist. It makes it easier for him to express himself, because he's no longer Yukito Orikasa, fumbling his way through emotions that he's been told time and again that he doesn't express properly, he's Yuki, criminal psychologist, and that's something he can figure out how to be.

You can even see it in his gestures; from then on, they get extremely dramatic, very much what you'd expect in a stage play (moreso even than in a movie). Which works well considering this is an anime and dramatic gestures suit the medium, and that's probably part of why I didn't really notice that at first. Even his tone becomes more dramatic. You can hear it flowing up and down the scale of emotion, rather than his usual low, teasing edge. Really great direction all around tbh

We see this same sort of transformation in the next episode, while Yamato's staying with him, and honestly this scene makes it a whole lot clearer. Yuki does actually start off more himself in this episode because he's in his own home. He doesn't really want to go out of his way for Yamato, he's mostly helping him out of obligation, so the mask slips a bit.

He flits in and out of a couple different personas fairly rapidly at the start of their interaction. Even Yamato remarks on this, which I actually didn't realize until just now when I was skimming through to find the shot I wanted to reference. He's never fully seen Yuki with his metaphorical hair down before, and the change is remarkable

He offers Yamato some advice, rather against his own will. His countdown here is his "speak now if you want me to listen to your problems or else I'm leaving" ultimatum, and he fully intended to when he gets to zero. But he doesn't (which I think surprises them both), and when Yamato calls out to him, he stops and actually offers genuine advice, no persona there to filter it. And it's harsh, like he usually is when he's unfiltered, because he's Autistic As Fuck and doesn't really know how to be anything else no matter how hard he tries (as is very explicitly laid out in Re:member : he has tried, hard, and he just can't figure it out)

And then he immediately falls into another role, when it's clear he's going to be trapped in this conversation that he doesn't really want to be having. Which is equal parts to soothe himself and to piss of Yamato, I think. Maybe heavier on the piss-off-Yamato side of things, because for all that he's helping him, they really really don't like each other, and Yuki's really kind of an asshole at heart

And from here on out he fully embraces the mocking asshole persona he's chosen to adopt. The same thing happens: he becomes more expressive both in voice and gesture, and it both softens the blow of the harsh things he says and makes it worse.

And you can then see the exact moment Yuki realizes that he's Fucked Up this conversation and pushed things much much further than he expected or intended to

(a shot which is on the screen for like less than half a second and that I had to clip and go frame by frame through to get because my own autism is now Activated)

The next scene is, I think, rather intentionally ambiguous (at least at the start) as to how genuine Yuki's responses are. It's fairly well established that, despite his aichmophobia, Yuki doesn't really have a ton of self-preservation instinct when it comes to fights, so it's seems entirely reasonable that his continued efforts to poke at the already enraged bear are just, what he'd do and not a persona he's putting on

However, it becomes clearer further into the scene that this is indeed another performance for him. First here, somewhat subtly, where in the actual line of dialogue, he calls Yamato "Yamato-bocchan", which, while appropriately mocking, also places him very firmly in a role other than his natural disposition.

From here on out, it becomes fairly clear to me that he's reverted back to his role from Mission. Yukito Orikasa is shed once more (if he was ever truly present here), and Yuki the Criminal Psychologist has taken his place. Yamato's breakdown follows a similar script to his character's here, though his is genuine -- but Yuki reads the similarities and falls back into his psychologist role.

He then offers Yamato some advice that actually references Shizuo's own words, which is... a huge Dick Move in this moment but that is actually a super neat and subtle reference, especially because he genuinely thinks he's helping.

he's not.

And this part is fun because it then becomes a lot less clear if Yamato's clued in to the role he's playing and is now playing along with his part in the movie, or if he's really just genuinely doing this (it's the latter, but it teases the possibility for most of the scene)

But anyway, the point kind of got away from me. You see Yuki fall back on this acting any time he's in a situation he doesn't know how to handle -- or, well. Not just then, actually. Pretty much in any situation. He's more comfortable pretending to be someone else than he is being himself, and he'll default to that whenever he can get away with it. He maintains it even when he's alone with Momo a lot of the time (I have an headcanon about Momo knowing what it is he's doing and allowing him it, as a sort of kindness)

Of course, his dealings with Yamato are hardly the only time we see this so clearly presented. He draws any number of roles over him like a mask, and falls into whichever suits his needs -- perhaps most notably at the very end of season 3, where he dons the caricature persona of a thug in order to try to protect Momo. Which is, uh. Maybe not the best idea he's ever had but hey, it works, kind of, so more power to you, Yuki.

He (arguably) adopts this same sort of thuggy image earlier in the season, for much the same reasons, when he waits outside Ryo's apartment with a baseball bat (that he definitely does not know how to use).

However! Of particular interest is the scene where he confronts Touma, where he's actually not assuming some sort of role. This scene is pure, unadulterated Yuki, and that frightens Touma and Torao exactly the same way as it puzzled Yamato above.

This scene itself is more a commentary on his relationship with Momo than it is Yuki's performative nature, really, because it highlights very well the fact that he's willing to do anything for the sake of his partner. It's pretty clear to me that when he walks into the dressing room and when he first confronts Touma, he's not Yuki the Badass, he's Yukito Orikasa, desperately trying to track down his partner.

Like, this is very much Yuki's real personality, not one of his endless roles

And that is precisely what gives him the edge here. Touma and Torao are really not expecting him to be so cruel and careless. They're used to Idol Yuki, handsome and flippant and appeasing. Not Yukito, entirely willing to stomp all over the law if it means saving Momo from danger

This is one of the only times that Yuki lets his true colors shine so obviously true. Usually Momo or Rinto is there to remind him to be aware of his station and to keep himself in check, but Momo is in danger and Yuki Does Not Care about the consequences, because at the end of the day, he's cold and calculating and absolutely nothing like the friendly persona he puts on, and he's only really doing this because he's passionate about music, not because he loves being an idol

Anyway. I guess all that sums up into: Yuki, first among the Autists, hides behind different masks so often that everyone around him is startled when he drops them, including himself a lot of the time. And that the show (and presumably the game) does a really incredible job of presenting this incredibly subtly

Sokka's Master (Season 3 episode 4) has got to be one of my favorite episodes.

It shows how even though everyone looks up to Sokka as the adult/big brother of the Gaang, Sokka is still a kid.

He tried very hard with every task he was giving to seem like he was mature, for example, when he had to sign his name.

He tried to do it normally, but he couldn't and wanted to be true to himself.

So he did it the more, I guess sillier way.

One part everyone talks about is the scen where he had to paint the scenery he saw.

He looks so proud of what he painted, and he saw it how he saw fit. He had to do it from memory.

Piandao looks very, how do I put it? Judgemental of Sokka putting a rainbow. So he asked "You put a rainbow?"

Sokka looks back at his painting and relises "Oh, a rainbow wasn't there"

So he asks, "Is that okay?"

You can tell from Sokka's eyes, that he values Piandao's opinion, he doesn't want to disappoint him.

That's why at the end, he (not word for word, I got a shit memory) says, "I haven't been telling the truth."

Every man in Sokka's village left when he was 13. Many can say "well, he had a father figure most of his life" and that, i say be quite.

Sokka may be the oldest of the group (at this point), but he's still a kid. He doesn't want to disappoint someone, who even though he just met, who he looks up to.

I'm taking personal experience here. I met a teacher and after a few days I really looked up to her and wanted to make her proud. She was like a mother to me and even though I had my actual mom with me, sometimes I felt my mom wasn't helping that much. So my teacher I wanted to make her proud.

That's what was going on with Sokka. He wanted to make Piandao proud, so even if that meant showing he was lying, he didn't want to lie.

This one was all over the fucking place, I might redo this one. I'm tired as hell.

Date With Destiny

For @strangerthngs4life Happy Birthday!

Tina's Halloween Party, 1986

Tina’s living room was stuffed, again. She was dancing on the dining room table with Chrissy Cunningham of all people, dressed like 2/3 of Charlie’s angels, while Carol smirked up at them, her own angel’s wings rakishly askew.

Billy did his best not to roll his eyes at the girl looking up at him with stars in her eyes, “So, what’s college like?”

“It’s just a community college. But it’s cheaper than state,” Billy shrugged.

“Okay, but is it true that you’re roommates with King Steve?” She was a little wasted looking, just on the edge. He tried to look around for her friend, but they were nowhere to be found.

He wanted to scoff. No one actually calls him King Steve anymore. That can’t be real.

"He’s roommates with me,” Billy shot her a grin.

She ran a hand along Billy’s abs, “Wanna get away somewhere.”

Billy caught a glimpse of a certain brunette coiff bobbing over the dance floor, “I gotta go, but do you know anyone who could take you home?”

She looks around like she’s waking up from a dream, “Uhm… you?”

“Sorry, sweetheart. I got some plans later,” Billy chuckled, licking along his lower lip like he was really regretting it, “You want me to drop you with your friend?”

She glanced around and then leaned up, whispering in his ear.

“I wanna go home with Chance Rojas,” She ended on a little giggle.

He just smiled. He always liked a crafty girl.

“Who doesn’t?”

She blinked up at him, but her confusion disappeared when he gestured over to Chance.

“What’s up, Hargrove. Surprised to see you here,” He was almost as good looking as Harrington. But there was no fire though, he was mild all the way through. Just another reason he was fine dropping off Jenny with Chance. Not a rotten bone in his body.

“Jen had too much to drink, and I got a date with destiny,” Billy carefully handed Jenny over, getting a mouthful of cat ear headband when she suddenly started acting a lot sillier than he had a second ago.

“Destiny?” Chance’s brow furrowed, but he handled Jenny really carefully, “Someone from college?”

Billy shrugged, “Yeah, sure. See that she gets home safe, k?”

“Yeah, ‘course,” Chance nodded.

Once he was pretty sure Jenny wasn’t about to do a comedy prat fall, he headed off towards the dance floor.

Harrington was leaned up against a wall, bobbing his head to fucking Belinda Carlisle. He was trying his hair a little longer for 1986, bangs curling over his forehead.

Billy walked right up to him and pulled out a cigarette, ignoring the Samantha Foxx wannabe who was trying to pull Harrington further onto the dance floor.

“No sailor’s hat?” Billy asked with a smirk, puffing out a plume of smoke.

Steve smirked right back, fake blood cracking on his upper lip, “I don’t recycle costumes, unlike a certain someone I know.”

Billy ran a hand over his bare abs, fingering the edges of his mottled Starcourt scar, “I don’t know what you mean. Not a Conan fan, Harrington?”

Harrington ran a hand through his hair, with his only free hand.

"Your little babysitters club help you with that?” Billy tipped his chin towards the fake chainsaw covering Harrington’s right hand. What a dork. Looked hot though, shirt all ripped up. But he wasn't showing enough skin for Billy.

Harrington shrugged, “Maybe.”

“Looks good.”

Harrington huffed, “What do you want, Hargrove?”

“Nothin’. Can’t a guy say hello to his roommate without getting the third degree?”

Harrington pouted, his pretty pink lips pulling down, “Hello. Goodbye.”

Billy leaned in close to the girl, “You sure you wanna stay with Mr. Personality over here?”

She glanced between them, “Uhm…”

“You know what they say. Blondes have more fun,” Billy gave her a slow once over, barely registering her costume.

“I’m good, thanks,” She tossed her pretty permed head.

Billy shrugged, “See ya at school. Harrington.”

“Yeah,” Steve shook his head, “Whatever, man.”

Billy made his rounds, pretending he didn’t see the unmistakable silhouette of Jason Carver climbing into the back of Eddie Munson’s weed van as he sped off into the night.

He was supposed to pick up Max from some party at Harrington’s little nerd shadow’s house in about two hours. Master of Puppets was turned as high as he could go as he burned rubber through this tiny shithole of a town. He still hated it. Well, maybe not as much now as when he had to live there full time. He shook his head, yanking off his stupid headband and flinging it into the back.

Harrington didn’t appreciate how much work it was to look this good. He should have dressed like George Michael, then maybe he’d have gotten Harrington’s attention.

He sped off to the quarry, cranking up the heat so that he didn’t freeze his nipples off, and parked.

It was only a few minute’s wait before a deep burgundy car pulled in next to him. Harrington waited at the passenger’s door, finally pounding on the window.

“Let me in, asshole, I’m freezing my dick off out here.”

Billy leaned over and grinned at him, finally opening the door.

“Jesus,” Harrington sniffled, curling into the passengers sear and running a hand through his hair, “Heard you had a date with some chick called Destiny?”

Billy stuck his tongue out, “You like your new nickname?”

“I hate sneaking around, I thought we were fucking done with this,” Harrington huffed.

“We are. It’s just one weekend, babe,” Billy shrugged, “If my dad thinks I’m being a dirty queer, I won’t be able to see Max again.”

“I know, I just…” Harrington huffed.

“I know it sucks, but tomorrow we’ll be back home. Thank you for pretending for just a little bit. I love you,” Billy reached over and took Steve’s hand, “You’re my destiny.”

He meant to toss it off like a joke but it came out embarrassingly sincere.

Lucky for him he’s dating a total sap.

“You’re my destiny too, Bils,” Harrington’s pretty, pink lips are slightly parted, perfect for kissing.

Somewhere, blocks away, the teens were still dancing. Max was rolling dice or playing Sorry or whatever passed for a party with her nerds.

Billy tugged Harrington closer, chuckling as he tugged on the leather belts that had been rigged across his chest.

“Next year, you gotta be shirtless too,” Billy grinned, “Give this one pony town a show.”

Harrington groaned, “No, I think I’ll leave that to you.”

Billy ghosted his lips over Steve’s, still thanking God. Harrington wasn’t his roommate, or his rival. He really did feel like his destiny, like every sorry, broken lego of his life slotting into the right place when he was around Steve.

Harrington kissed every time like it was his first and his last, clingy and desperate, hands cupping Billy’s jaw. He kissed like nothing could tear them apart. And Billy would make damn sure nothing ever would.

How the gods “speak” to me.

For a while when I read posts about how people had full on conversations with their deities I was SEVERELY confused. It took me way too long to realize that for *some* people, they use different types of divination paired with clairaudience and other things. As a kid, I stuck to just tarot. But now, I finally understand what all these other people were getting at.

For me personally, I’m unfortunately not getting full on sentences. If I’m really lucky I’ll get 1-3 words that sometimes make sense. What I get the most is being able to “read the room,” so to speak. I recognize and am becoming more and more familiar with what Hermes feels like when I’m speaking to him and how to differentiate him from Dionysus. The one time I had them both in the room with me, my mind was a mess. I didn’t really get anything clear. It felt all muddled.

I wish I could get more than I do. I’m quite jealous of the fact that some are lucky enough to get a sentence or two. But then I remember there are people that can’t get anything at all, and you know that? That’s okay too. Because your gods are still with you even if you can’t feel them, or can’t hear them in your own way.

To give an example, if I were to summarize a conversation with Hermes, I may say he told me I need to work harder/I need to put more effort into xyz, and that yes, he did indeed send me on the path of reconnection with my former best friend. What that actually means is I asked with a pendulum if that’s what happened and I got a strong ass ‘yes’ swing lol. And then I pulled multiple cards that did indeed tell me that I need to do more. Or when I first contacted him, I got multiple cards that expressed enthusiasm and that it would be a fruitful relationship.

Or, something sillier like how my first offering went down.

Mind you, I’m still very new to all this. I’m trying my best while also trying to maybe help other people not feel too afraid about unknowingly fucking up.

So, I’m sitting down at my kitchen table. I have some homemade bread on a plate with a slightly fancier glass holding some homemade pudding in the other. I very awkwardly pray aloud to Hermes after lighting a candle, telling him about the offering. Just a simple thanks for being so patient with me.

The energy in the room immediately brightened, and that’s when I almost jumped at how clearly I felt his pleasure at the small gesture. (Even heard an “ooh!”) After some time had passed, I personally eat the offerings I give due to my circumstances. I thank him before eating.

Somehow, somehowwwww, that piece of bread and pudding treat was the most filling thing I had eaten in ages. I have a very very big appetite. Any other time I’ve had something of that portion size, it’d take a lot more eating to keep me full lol. That’s been my experience since with offerings I eat since.

So that also goes to prove offerings really don’t need to be grand. I honestly just really enjoy cooking, and the idea of making something small he may enjoy perks up my day.

I need to make more bread.
