DECEMBER PROMPTS 🧊 — 4. NERON “CREEPER” VARGAS

A/N: idea inspired by a required outing for me and encouraged by @darqchilddaydreamz 🤭 this is so unserious but not at the same time? I also don’t like how I learned to appreciate creeper after the fact? This is my first time ever writing for the man with a heart of gold. Smh. Him and Coco deserved better and in AU…Creeper & Coco would be the true besties. This is also somewhat that. Enjoy!

Synopsis: As a pizza chef you’re bound to keep your house just as stocked as your restaurant. However with a ice storm heading your way in two days…you persuade your husband, Neron to take you to the store to grab just a few extra things but soon find yourself in a battle with another shopper, who doesn’t know the first thing about personal space.

ADDED PROMPTS FROM HERE + I’m using: 3.) Shopping + 6.) “You’re really making me wear matching pajamas with you?”

WARNINGS: language + “reader” is given a name but not physically described yet I always have a black or woc in mind. + a sexual/steamy moment towards the end ;)

What was supposed to be more of a in and out kind of thing, turned into at least a thirty minute adventure. Sure Mariatu could blame it on the tasteful playlist the grocery store was playing—currently, “let it snow,” by Boyz II Men & Brian McPetty but she’d take the blame when she got back outside to her husband.

The original plan was to run in and get five items: a pack of mineral water full of electrolytes for Neron, a pack of cocoa powder, eggs, toilet paper rolls, and disinfectant wipes.

With the way prices are in this economy?

Mariatu knew it was probably best for Neron to run in grab everything but he suddenly got a call from Coco that had to do with business—which the founded brothers always stood on—so she did the honors of slipping out. She honestly didn’t mind, shopping was always thrilling to her because she knows regardless of what she picked up—whether she needed it or not—the items would always be put to good use. Mariatu was never one to let anything go to waste, it was something her parents always instilled.

Perhaps that’s why the carriage was getting heavier as she explored every other aisle, ending up in the international section, just for some lady to eye the contents of her carriage before settling her judgmental eyes on Mariatu. Their eyes connected but one was less friendly than the other, which was enough for Mariatu to pick up the speed. The previous aisle was more of a game of “chicken,” since one boulder of a man thought the aisle was a one way, the frozen section had one of its fridges leaking onto the floor and the constant call to, “clean up aisle 21,” seemed to go unheard, and just from entering the store a mother had to excuse herself and her screaming child who thought it would be best to start knocking over one of the displays.

Those should have been enough signs for Mariatu to do what she was supposed to do. Although the upbeat Christmas music was enough motivation to just make this a speed round, Mariatu couldn’t help that she spent longer than expected; even if she had a mental list of what they needed. Soon she found herself making a circle in the store towards the organic and produce section.

Eyeing the pomegranate seeds, Mariatu makes a bee-line for the fruit. Parking her carriage upwards from herself, she picks up the container eyeing the expiration date and then the quality of the red toned fruit. From her peripheral she sees someone leaning by the front of her carriage. She thinks not much of it figuring that they’re simply looking at a item that aligns with the end of her carriage. Silently debating over the snack for a moment longer, she opts for the larger pack instead before adding it to the carriage.

Seconds after, the handle of her carriage digs harshly into her stomach as the customer pushes their hip into the end of the carriage to reach for a bag of jumbo grapes. Mariatu blinks to herself in astonishment as the man holds the bag up to the light and moves his hips to do the same movement again!

This time Mariatu yanks on the carriage and goes around the man but not without muttering, “this is how you say excuse me,” on her way as she continues on up ahead. Eyeing the bag of baby spinach, she decides against it after grabbing a few green juices not long ago and just as she goes to push away from the section, she can hear the irritating sound of a broken carriage wheel pushing behind her.

Ever since Mariatu was a little girl she had great senses. Some may call it a gift while others maybe oblivious but she’s almost always right in judging distances and sensing presences that may or may not physically be there. In this present time as Mariatu is briefly glancing from the cart to make sure she’s not forgetting something and watching where she’s going, she can feel and hear the carriage behind her getting too close for her liking. Just as she’s reaching the corner, she peers over her shoulder to the pale as ice skinned man with a beanie that barely covers his thin salt colored hair and in that moment they come to some sort of understanding.

His shoulders relax, his lips pursed, grip still strong on the handle, he seems to slow down as his eyes connect with Mariatu’s. The side-eye game was always strong and she whips her head back, ringlets of curls bouncing with her underneath her beret as she does, a satisfying smile begins to grace her lipstick painted lips while she gets ready to turn the corner.

That’s short lived as a bump of the carriage from behind pressed into her backside first, thrashing her forward, followed by the knocking wheel which clips her ankle. A yelp escapes her lips, gaining the attention of a cashier who’s handling the handicap section and Mariatu has to exhale the steam that’s probably seeping from her eardrums.

Rubbing at the stinging skin above her ankle socks in her trainers, she glares at the older man who looks sheepish at the fact that his carriage actually interacted with his target.

“What’s your problem? You bump my carriage out of the way instead of using your manners, which you clearly lack and now you wanna play bumper cars with my ankle?” Mariatu questions the man who lifts his shoulders nonchalantly.

“I needed grapes,” the man started, “you could have done what I did and placed your carriage to the right so that way you’re not blocking other items that fellow customers need.”

Mariatu scoffs in disbelief, “well I’m not you and the proper thing to do if you need to get something is say excuse me or patiently wait until I’m done.”

“Sorry…but no?”

“No?” Mariatu felt her eye twitch and just to think, she was having a pretty solid day off, considering it was only twelve in the afternoon but still!

“Yeah,” the man continued, “you’re in my way and I have places to be too. Don’t know if you know this but a ice storm is coming and I need—

“Excuse me, I don’t give two shits what you need. Everybody that’s in here needs something, so honestly you can take that entitlement and shove it up right your ass, Mr.” Mariatu stated to the man without raising her voice but her brows definitely did, which means she meant that shit, “and happy holidays.”

With that she sorta limps from the man, enjoying that she had the last say and that his presence was no longer felt as he scrambles to go to one of the other aisles instead of to the self-check out area, which Mariatu was headed to.

Mariatu braced herself heading back into the breezy sixty degree weather, slowly letting out a sigh to herself as she crossed through the parking lot. She spots Neron waiting outside of her bronco and jumps into action as he looks up in time. “Ten minutes huh?” He teases with a shake of his head as he unlocks the trunk.

She scrunches her nose at him as they maneuver around the cart, taking turns adding the bags into the back. It doesn’t take Neron long to pick up on the way Mariatu is walking different once they get down to the the last few bags. “What’s up?” He asks.

Mariatu shakes her head as Neron points at her leg, “I’ll tell you in the car.”

The hoodie wearing man dips his head and takes the task of bringing the carriage back to its spot after opening the door for Mariatu. Neron doesn’t miss a certain man looking over in his wife’s direction as Neron crosses the parking lot one more. Once he gets into the driver’s seat, it’s Neron’s turn to have his eyes in slits as the strange man starts tossing his bags into his station wagon.

“That man with the pedophile car…you know ‘em?”

Mariatu hums, looking up from her phone to follow Neron’s trail and immediately scoffs, “oh yeah, we got friendly not too long ago. That’s the man who tried to run me over after I told him he basically needs to learn some manners.”

Neron flicks his eyes to his right, “what happened?” He pressed and Mariatu has no issue giving her husband the quick rundown of what just occurred.

He’s rubbing at his lengthy beard in slight irritation but also pride. “Put your seatbelt on,” he commands and Mariatu tilts her head to the side at this.

However the hardened stare Neron shoots her way and then back out the window shield was enough for her to listen this time. The tatted man places one hand on the steering wheel, tightening his grip and sitting up straight—which was always enough indication that someone was about to float their ride…so Mariatu braced herself.

Rightfully so.

As soon as she blinked, they were across the parking lot blocking the man’s path from completely backing out from the parking space.

“Neron,” Mariatu hissed as he pressed his brimmed hat further down on his head then flung the door open, leaving it wide open as he walked in between the cars to get to the man’s driver’s side, knocking on his window.

Mariatu couldn’t exactly hear what Neron was saying to the strange man as he was crouched over, talking to him in a manner that would send a chill down anyone’s spine. Her heart rate picked up as she saw Neron reach into the rolled down window, possibly snatching the man up by the throat and then shoving him forward that his horn announced his face made contact with it.

With that Neron sniffs as he turns back to the bronco, holding a bag now as he climbs back into the driver’s seat. He plops the bag of grapes into Mariatu’s lap and says, “Poe Cramer sends his apologizes. Eat up.”

“Neron, what did you do that for? I thought I told you that I handled it.” Mariatu brings her eyes up from the fruit in her lap to the profile of her husband’s face who begins driving through the parking lot.

Neron dips his head, “and I’m proud of you, Cariño. But he assaulted you so I returned the favor. Roughed him up a bit, he’s lucky that’s all he got and that’s out of respect for my lady being somewhat a witness…that I didn’t take it further. got his name from his license—just in case you run into him again and he decides to start some more shit but I doubt it. I clocked his ass—that’s all. No harm, no foul.”

“I can’t,” Mariatu snorts resting a hand against her edges, “I love you and I don’t need you locked up before Christmas.”

“I’m just contributing to society so I know Santa would forgive me,” Neron shrugs with a slow smirk appearing on his lips.

Mariatu laughs, “Oh that’s what you want to call it?” Before kicking her ankle up and over her opposite knee to examine, “don’t know why some people get so shitty during the holiday season, especially if you didn’t do anything wrong to them! They just feel like it’s okay to take it out on strangers. Like? What you say fuck me for?”

“You don’t even gotta worry about him no more, trust me,” Neron laughs at the joke, “you good though?”

Mariatu nods reaching over to feed Neron a grape before pecking his cheek, “always with you by my side, baby.”

“Likewise,” Neron winks over at the woman he was ecstatic to call his wife, resting the palm of his hand on her thigh.

Back in the gated, yes gated! suburbs of their coastal mobile home after unloading and packing the groceries, the married couple made it their mission that today would be a easy day. They rarely had days off at the same time so Neron and Mariatu wanted to take advantage of this with Mariatu persuading Neron to go shopping today rather than putting it off for the busiest day—Saturday. Now they had the rest of the day just to be up in each others faces, spending quality time together.

She’s in the bathroom, tending to her night time skin routine, already solidifying they were in for the rest of the day, while Neron’s perched on the edge of the bed tuned into the weather channel. The bathroom door’s wide open as Neron says, “you know your pa is trying to get coco and I to come out to Wyoming, huh?”

Mariatu frowns, “that’s where he snuck off to? The hell is he doing out there?”

The woman knew exactly what her father was doing out there. He made it a mission to travel more after the lost of his wife three years ago but…Wyoming? Really? Very Kanye coded but a lot less unhinged.

“Starting a new business adventure. Plans to do something either with construction or a food truck for a rest stop…he’s weighing his options based on how those meetings go.” Neron informed, “he sounds real determined and said he’ll keep me posted while also sending his love to you.”

Neron and Johnny had their own business together that consisted of mechanics and all things restoration, computers and guns, you name it! After things went terribly south (she often found it hard at times that they both made it out alive) with the club, they figured this would be their best option and Mariatu couldn’t be more supportive of the two. In whatever way she was often confused on her father bringing up his multiple business ideas to her husband and good friend. Neron and Coco seemed quite comfortable making their roots here and not all over the place like her father commonly did.

Yet of course she understood networking being a business owner herself…she just couldn’t picture Neron or Johnny elsewhere now that they were secure here and out of the tainted Santo Padre.

Mariatu rolls her eyes at this, loving how Neron threw that in there but she knew this was true with the way her father’s brain was constantly running with ideas. He’s always been a hardworking, successful man but he also didn’t know when to slow down. He was getting older and it’s like Mariatu was always fighting to have time with him, she valued that considering the lost of her mother but perhaps this was all his way of grieving?

You tend to do that sometimes at the end of the year they say.

“Will he back for Christmas? Kwanzaa, maybe?”

Neron wouldn’t lie and he knew how important Mariatu’s relationship was with her parents, which he did not receive personally but he always had his sisters so he understood to some degree, “he didn’t say honey but I’m sure he’ll try.”

“Right,” Mariatu is quiet for some time before starting up her spin brush again for a few minutes before rinsing her face and continuing the rest of her work.

The room is thicker now with Mariatu’s inner feelings about it all but Neron knows not to push it. They were similar in that way, holding everything in but Mariatu was better in letting it out when she was ready while Neron struggled with his own issues of people not hearing him when he did speak. However he knew not to feel that way with his wife, they confided in each other countless of times and felt seen being vulnerable with each other. It’s what drove them forward through the hardships.

Neron’s not sure how long he’s dazed off but a pair of pants smack across his face, followed by a snort of laughter that belonged to no other than his wife. He blinks, gripping onto the printed pants and scowls as he eyes the same print that Mariatu is sporting. Except her’s are shorts and he gets to eye her smooth legs in them.

Licking his lips Neron rubs at his beard, fighting to keep his thoughts clean as she slips a printed long sleeve set over her camisole, “You’re really making me wear matching pajamas with you?”

“Uh huh,” Mariatu nods her head with a smile, “we’ll be cozy and cute.”

Neron mumbles, “And lookin’ like the elves on the fucken shelf.”

Mariatu cackles as Neron shakes his head in disagreement. She stands before him, resting her hands across his shoulders, massaging them while staring down into his tense but loving brown eyes. Neron doesn’t hesitate to wrap his solid tatted arms around her waist, while she gets comfortable locking her legs right around his hips so they’re face to face now.

“I think you need a little more persuading and a thank you.”

“A thank you?” Neron ponders as Mariatu nuzzles her nose against the man’s, who breathes her in.

Mariatu pecks his lips, then trails those kisses along his jaw and up to his large ear, whispering, “for always looking out for me and especially for today. Will you let me take care of you?”

She can feel Neron shudder against her and she knew that Neron just wanted to be loved in return for the love that he gave out. Mariatu had no problem providing that and the confirmation of his fingertips digging into her waist was all she needed to make their lips collide. The scratch of his beard against her chin, the weight of her clung to his body, the force of shoving him back against the sheets, scrape of her stiletto nails that greeted his skin briefly as she helped him out of his tops, kissing of his wounds that were buried beneath his tats, the trick of her tongue against the round of his raised flesh which contained a hooped piercing that always evoked a breathy moan from his lips, the teasing and pleasing to his lower region with only her mouth was enough to bring joy right out of Neron’s heart.

Mariatu took the reigns but Neron couldn’t let that slide without getting his hands on her in the way he wanted and the way they both needed as well. A shower and clean up routine later, both now sporting red festive wear, they’re lounging against the headboard together, container of pomegranate seeds placed in between them while the skies in San Didacus continue filling in with a gray haze.

Neron and Mariatu both meet each other’s eyes after the dark haired man settled on, one of his favorites, “Krampus,” (2015) after finding one of the cheesy romantic Christmas movies to be too corny for their tastes.

“Ready to keep the festive spirit going?” Neron asks, wrist draped over Mariatu’s shoulder while she curls into him, leg tossed over his torso.

Mariatu covers her yawn, “yeah I am, I don’t know about you but I don’t want any demons hunting this house, especially once some kids come along.”

“Nah, krampus don’t got nothin’ on me.” Neron tells with a grin, “he better ask Poe and check my resume.”

“I haven’t even seen that resume.”

“I’m keepin’ it that way. Like I said when we took those vows, you don’t got to worry about nothing on that end. Just the restaurant and the good parts of life that we’re building together only.” Neron reassured in which Mariatu nodded with a smile.

Neron leans forward capturing Mariatu’s lips in a brief kiss before brushing his lips against her forehead then tunes back into the movie.

One thing is true, this holiday, equally the pair hopes this season brings further blessings to their table after growing what they both went through. The little moments mean just as much as the big ones and when they frequently stare into each other’s eyes…maybe in the end they can always say that’s the best gift the universe could have ever gave them.

daily notes - overview of oct 5, 2023

omfg, I'm so tired. Like, we got home before 4pm, and I've been resting these last few hours. It was cool but humid, and I was just a sweaty mess when I got home. Hopped in the shower, then laid on my bed in front of the fan, and caught up on my web comic reading.

This will be the text overview of everything we did. When I get other posts up with images, I will edit and link to those.

First, we stopped by the local bakery I had mentioned on Monday. They probably had less-than-half of their inventory left. I got the very last blueberry-almond "scone", a couple other cookies for me, and some bits for LL-K. (K couldn't make the trip today, because she's busy with work.)

Second, we visited Rooster Brother, a store for cooks and those who love them, as they say. Lots of fun kitchen items, though they were more pricey than I'd prefer. Fun things, but nothing that screamed "must buy!". I did browse some chopsticks, though I was torn between using them as hair sticks or as chopsticks. (One was more decorative, but the other was cute enough for either use.)

There was a whole display of mushroom-themed items, too. The opposite side of that display had other woodland creatures, including deer and owls. They had the very same glass xmas ornament that @vintage-tech once sent me, several years ago - a little fawn, curled up and sleeping.

Next, we visited Riverside Cafe in Ellsworth for lunch. Very tasty, but neither of us could finish everything. (I only had fries left, but LL-J had 1-4th of her sandwich and fries leftover.) The music playlist was very good, though slightly biased towards my high school years. I can only remember 5 of the songs

Jack Johnson - "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"

Weezer - "Island in the Sun"

Counting Crows - "Long December"

Blues Traveler - "Runaround"

Counting Crows - "Round Here" (I think? It was another CC song, at least)

It was tough to hear the music, so I'm sure there were other songs playing, and I just didn't catch them.

We walked down the road, ducking in The Dream Catcher antique shop next. Lots of pretty visuals, though the aisles were crowded and some display cases didn't show prices well. (There was such cool jewelry!) Because it was a cold and humid day, and they left the doors open, we felt very uncomfortable in that stuffy place. Both of us were tired, so we decided to call it quits when we saw there were another 2 floors to the place.

I bought 3 small dolls and a snake-shaped pendant. They're all cheaply made items, with discoloring and no easy way to remove the clothes. One is an Irish (I assume) souveneir doll, who came with a stand - $12. Then I found a dandy, dapper Rococo man. A little more digging, and I found his lady. Both have sleep eyes and painted feet/legs. They didn't have tags, so the clerk said $10 for the pair. Fine by me!

The snake pendant was $1. It's shape to curl around a marble or gem stone, and even has prongs to help hold it in place. It was empty, found in a dish of tiny pewter figures glued to flattened marbles. So so soooo tiny!

When we left, we both felt awful and tired. We visited a kids' book-and-toy store very quickly, didn't buy anything, then browsed the store windows of some other shops. The two I liked both looked very elaborate and fun. We'll hit one of those first on our next trip, when I have more energy again.

From there, we went to LL Bean's outlet store. They had a big sale on women's pants, so I grabbed a couple pairs. One's like... lounge or athletic wear? The other seemed like casual drawstring pants. I can't describe the texture. Omg, the textures for most of the pants were so bad in that section. So 60% off, I only paid about $35 after taxes for 2 pairs, yay.

Hit up Dunkin's drive-thru on the way out of town. LL-J now knows the glory of the "frozen hot chocolate" - basically a chocolate milk slushy.

We stopped by LL-K's house once we got back in town, to drop off the cookies. She gave me 2 containers of chicken stock that she had made. A couple weeks ago, she had asked where she could find chicken feet, so I helped source some from Neighbor-J and -S's chickens. (They were the couple that ran a general store for a few years. S used to sew cloth diapers as a business, too.) ----------

I hopped in the shower once I got home. Very very tired. Laid in front of the fan for a couple hours, and now I've been typing for like 20 minutes. We left at 10:15am and got home before 4pm. If the weather wasn't so clammy, I think we would've done far better. BUT I still did very good, considering how cheerful and happy this day has been.

Will work on posting photos in multiple posts next. Some stuff at the antique store is worthy of shiftythrifting, but some is not. One item is even from the "we see this too often, so don't submit it anymore" list. My first time seeing one in the wild!

Christmas Eve at My Cousins Feet

Learning to be Bianca's Insole

December 26th 9:14 AM

In the middle of the night, Bianca rolled over and slept on her stomach so you climbed up her sole and rested your head on her heel as a makeshift firm pillow.  You were so tired that you didn't wake up once during the night, that is until your master woke up and swung her feet off the bed into a pair of fuzzy light blue slippers.

Jake hadn't moved from his heel bed and didn't get a chance to move up her arch. that meant with every step Bianca took to go get breakfast, you were being crushed underneath the full weight of your mistress and she didn't even give your pain one single thought.  The only thing she thought of was if she should have bacon or sausage with her eggs and how good you felt being squished underneath her.  But there wasn't much you could complain about.  Sometimes things like that just happen in the Life of a foot slave.

December 26th 10:00AM

After Bianca ate breakfast she went back to her room kicked off her morning slippers and then inserted her socked feet (with you still stuck inside them) into a pair of sketchers flat sneakers and then proceeded into the living room without a single word to you.  She jumped onto a comfy recliner with her legs hanging over the armrest and this gave you the chance to escape from being squashed under her heel and you climbed up her arch to the center part of her foot that applies the least pressure when being walked on.  She did this for a few hours and you were getting pretty bored until she sat closer to the tv.  Seeing the screen was out of the question, but now you could hear what she was watching.  Right now it was a Video Countdown on MTV and The Jersey Shore was coming up next. After Snooki got punched, the episode ended and Bianca's mom asked her if she wanted to go to the mall for some after Christmas bargains...

"Hey Bianca, are you ready to grab some more new clothes?  We're all going to be leaving soon."

"Yeah, Ma. I'll go get ready"

December 26 3:33 PM

Bianca went back to her room and then took off her socks, but left you inside and tied the sock up and shoved it into her sneaker so you couldn't escape and no one would find you.

30 minutes later: Bianca had gotten back from her shower and dumped you into the palm of her hand.  She smelled nice and her hair was damp and it was a very pretty look for her.  You thought she was going to say something to you but instead, she dropped you into her black boot and you yelled up to her

"Bianca wait! why aren't you talking to me?"

Looking up at her giant pretty face from the view in her knee-high boots was weird. It was like looking up through a dark, black, vertical tunnel. she said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you this morning.  I thought it would be better if you had no company except my foot today so you would get used to the life of being my foot slave.  You're still not the Perfect Pet, so it's good that you get used to being with my foot 24/7 without me having to tell you what to do and this way you could get used to the smell of both my feet and each aroma all of my shoes have to offer you.  So not another peep out of you or you'll spend all of tomorrow too as my little lonely insole."

"but...but.."

you didn't have much time to respond anyway as Bianca pulled her face from the opening of the boot and was replaced by her magenta socked left foot.  Her toes hit you on the sole of her boot and slid you on the smooth insole until you reached the toe section where her big and second toe held you in place your New place in life as Bianca's insole.

December26th 4:29pm

She was at the mall for hours Shopping with her mom and your sisters. From outside your leathery prison, you could hear the shoppers walking by and talking to each other and the cheesy Christmas and New Years Eve music the mall played on the loudspeakers.  You wished you could still listen to your favorite CD's.  At one point she sat down for a while so you assumed she was eating lunch at the food court.  You couldn't use your nose to smell the scents coming from the different restaurants because the only thing you could smell was the cheesy leathery smell that came from excessive use of wearing these boots which you could now guess were her favorite leather footwear.

December 26th 7:12pm

You could tell you were in the car from the vibrations the engine made and when she got home she kicked off her boots and dumped you into a new pair of shoes that she had bought at a shoe store today.  Bianca pushed you in so fast that you didn't even know what shoes you were in?  But sure enough, the familiar sight of her magenta socked toes came into their new shoe home and greeted the insole with a warm loving hug from all of her five of her toes.  You were so bored you tried to pretend you were back home playing video games but you had to shake those thoughts out of your head and learn to accept your new life as your hot cousin's foot slave and began to take Deep Sniffs of her moist, socked foot. you shoved your nose into the sweaty fibers of her pinkish cotton sock and tried your best to enjoy it.  After a while, you began to like it even more and the leathery and sweaty smell of her socks mixed in with the new shoe smell and it became rather nice to inhale.

December 26th 11:29

The rest of the night was a blur but you heard all of your sisters, cousins, and aunts voices that night, but your mind was somewhere else as the sweet but musty smell of Bianca's smelly feet helped relax you.  At least for now anyway.  She would have many different shoes and socks to try you out in and they would all have their own unique smell for you to get used to.

Bianca walked to her room and got changed into her PJ's.  She laid down in her bed and snuggled under the covers and you knew this was your silent cue to kiss her foot goodnight and thank it for letting you live underneath it.  You crawled up the ball of her foot and planted your lips on her digits starting from her little toe to her big toe.  Being Bianca's foot slave wasn't that bad.  You were starting to really like her feet.  They were nice and warm, soft, smooth, the perfect size, and they had great, unique smells that you liked.    As long as you didn't have to go back to her horrible, stinky red and green Xmas socks you would be a happy man for the time being. If you can call this life happy?

K Mart and Forgotten Christmas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9hR4Gg6b9w&t=1195s

Crawling around the outer reaches of YouTube, where these days I find most of the musical and community weirdness I thrive on, another series of mixes popped up that are appropriate for the season and the isolation of the present year.

The muzak played over the tannoy at K Mart can now be found as an hour-plus compilation on YouTube, complete with occasional interruptions for in-store adverts or calls for security.  This is fun to listen to, but also carries deeper meaning when examined; another ghost hanging around refusing to let us forget the promise we have let go.    

The real gold here is, as ever, looking into a world now gone.  Not in a nostalgic sense, but in the realm of memory and the working world that has passed.  Comments on the video site are a mix of meaningless harking for simpler times and the quite moving desire for a greater sense of security.  The comments section is filled with remanence of decent-enough jobs with decent-enough wages, worked by the parents of those writing.  Or remembering walking up and down the isles past DIY equipment or clothes looking for the toys.  In the year that in Britain the high street went to the wall finally, this seems eerie even this far away.  K Mart has also suffered financial drawbacks, with a reported 40 or so stores remaining (I gave up reading about all the closures, mostly in states ignored and left to rust already); but their online presence is still alive.   This does not allow you to get a grilled cheese sandwich or run around looking at the Star Wars figures while your dad tries to find a new screwdriver.  

I have little interest in fond memories from the past, as they are just that.  The past is suppose to die.  But there are benefits to this; learning from the past, good and bad and seeing where we go next – and where we have gone so wrong.  

These videos can be enjoyed merely as a laugh, perhaps while watching Christmas episodes of Married with Children, again where the comments tell us more about where we have slipped to – when they are not moaning about 'you could never do these jokes today', they are in wonder that a shoe salesman like Al Bundy could afford such a 'nice' house on one wage.  

We never had K Mart in the UK really, although plenty of versions of it. But they were well known from US films or even songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96Un6POoo8). What anyone can gain a sense of from this video and it's comments is not only the idea that we have been consumed by the race to the bottom (while mindlessly consuming), but how an event like Christmas could be the same across boarders and seas.  The sweet memories of youth; the regret at that youth's passing; missing those no longer with us or even a life changed beyond recognition.  The usual emotions of Christmas.  

The mass closures of K Mart stores not only leaves behind a chasm of jobs and in areas already underfunded, such as that left by Toys R Us previously, but also questions of what will replace them.  A massive store complex where, as one commentator notes, a unique smell would fill the air; 'popcorn, the off-gassing of fresh polyester and a hint of lawn fertiliser'.  Will they be torn down for new sports fields, or other areas of public space?  More likely Amazon will come to town and build more sweatshops to break the mind and bodies of those already abused into near-destruction.  The girth of crap music with a Christmas tag is so huge now it could fill the old K Mart store sites many times over.  Makes this stuff sound like Mozart.

This is another example of the empty and futile activity of endless consumption.  How it destroys everything and leads to dead ends, yet we still so often refuse to see another world beyond this depression-inducing, poverty-growing broken system, even when we know it has got so much worse that even working at fucking K Mart seems like bliss.  

If you are reading this or listening to the mix in the US, you are probably isolated for protection against the Covid-19 horror ripping through the country thanks to the incapability of a millionaire and his equally talentless cronies.  Here in the UK, we understand. While I hate nostalgia (did I mention that?), I find it hard to hate anyone watching this and reading the comments, trying to engage in the sweet memories or even the manufactured ones of those hanging around here too, missing stability in an endlessly spinning hell world that does not allow us to control our own lives.  Load up the Charlie Brown Xmas Special next and try to have a good Christmas.  Do not give in to the negativity, despite how easy and simple it would be.  You can be powerful again and coming out of this horror, we must take control and build a better world, so in fifty-odd years our offspring can comment on video sites saying 'remember when we build the new world?  How great it was to be a part of'.

BTS reaction to the zombie apocalypse - Maknae line

A/N: For the Hyung line click here! 

Jimin: 

When it starts: Jimin was outside shopping when the zombie apocalypse happened. He’d been collecting xmas presents for his team when there was a sudden array of screaming coming from outside along with many people running into the store that he was currently in. 

“Run!” someone yelled at him as they pushed by, confused why the boy was just standing there holding a red knitted sweater instead of trying to get away from such danger. 

The people in the store were frantic as feral humans (as Jimin described later on) ran in and began attacking people. They were snarling and tearing the living beings apart as if they were some sort of animal. 

And that’s when the evident fight or flight skills in Jimin’s head began to work: flight was what it screamed. 

The boy had quickly stuffed the sweater into his bag, running away and up a flight of escalators in the mall so that he could possibly find some place to hide. He knew that there was an assortment of fake lockers in the upstairs area where the teen section was and he betted that that’d be a good place to hide if any spot was good. 

Lucky for him, the locker were exaggerated to make the school supplies look like they were even more useful than they really were, so it was hard at all to hide in one and close the door as he listened to the chaos around him. 

He pulled out his phone, dialing Seokjin’s number as he waited, terrified of what was to come. 

Adapting: It wasn’t BTS themselves who’d gotten Jimin out safely, but a group of men who were looking around for any survivors while also looking for their younger sisters who’d been out shopping. The group had killed off any remaining zombies in the area and when they heard Jimin calling for help from one of the lockers, they waisted no time to help the younger get out. That was why when the boy had been reunited with his friends and learned what was going on, they’d waisted no time to try and form a team to make it through. 

For Jimin, it was difficult. He was always too nervous and over thought too many things. He was constantly reminded to stay focused and in the middle of the night when they were settled down and ready to camp out, he could always feel some sort of water works making their way up. 

Well, at least for the first month it was like that. Shortly after the apocalypse began, the team as a whole seemed to grow thicker skin. They remained in a small deserted area outside of Seoul, lucky to even be alive considering the city they were in and how dense the population was. 

Namjoon and Seokjin had easily become leaders to their little group, laying out ground rules and trying to form a tight knit community in hopes that maybe a sub society could form through such a disaster. 

it was exactly 35 days after Jimin had found himself trapped inside a locker however that he’d made his way over to his best and most dearest friend taehyung who’d taken look out as his job within their little village. The younger was busy focusing outwards, trying to find any ravenous zombies that might suddenly attack. 

“Hey,” Jimin said softly as he walked over to his friend, a bag in one of his hands as he got closer. “You know what day it is?” 

“Day 35?” Taehyung replied as he smiled at his friend, wondering what Jimins grin was all about. 

“Yes and No.”

“Then what is it?”

“It’s your birthday silly!” Jimin practically yelled as he handed the younger the bag he’d been holding. He was so excited for his friend to see the gift he’d chosen, it wasn’t everyday that you got to give something so nice. Especially not during an apocalypse of all times. 

Taehyung quickly opened the bag after he realized that it really was his birthday and inside he find a crimson looking knitted sweater, perfect for their current weather. 

“When did you get this?”

Jimin laughed a little as he took a seat next to his friend, “Let’s just say that when I decided to lock myself in a locker... I brought a little something with me as well. And then kept it safe up until this very moment.”

Teahyung gave his signature box-like smile for such a cute response and gave his friend a hug. It was moments like these that warmed both of their spirits and gave Jimin courage to live on in the future. 

#Vmin

Taehyung: 

When it starts: 

“Hyung, I feel like something bad is going to happen today,” is the first thing Taehyung said the day the zombie apocalypse began. They’d been a busy and tight knit schedule because of their upcoming come back and were doing back to back rehearsals for their newest title song. However, when the boy had woken up that day, he’d had a terrible feeling in his gut. 

“You’re probably just overworked , maybe you need a day off or something.” Yoongi had said when the younger told him such news. The two were the only ones left in the apartment, everyone else already at the studio or dance room working. But because Yoongi had spent all night writing the last verse to their last song on the track and Taehyung had been up all night playing video games, they’d decided to treat themselves to a small break. “Or, you know, you can stop playing games all night long. I swear, Namjoon is going to kill you for being so noisy at night.” 

“He can try,” Taehyung laughed before pouring himself some cereal and eating away at the sugary treat. 

It was simple in the beginning, peaceful and normal, and taking his hyungs advice, the younger had taken the day off, convincing yoongi as well to do the same. It was sweet. 

Adapting: Taehyungs world felt like it fell apart when he watched his best friend die. Yoongi had been the one who noticed when all hell broke lose, practically pulling the younger with him when he’d tried escaping, running out of their packed facility and out into the streets which is where one would generally not want to go. But by dodging and through brute force they’d made their way to the studio quickly, running inside and escplanning what was happening before the building went on lock down and all doors and windows were closed. 

Trainees and the other members were all rushed into the largest dance room, told to be quiet and to stay down low while the older workers found a way to make it out and contacting police stations for help and advice on what to do. 

“What do you think is happening?” Taehyung whispered to Yoongi as he scooted over to Jimin, setting down in the older’s lap. 

“Terrorist attack maybe?” Namjoon suggested as he was biting his lip. There was tension in the air. Everyone was scared. 

“Isn’t there a tunnel system in the basement area?” one of the trainees said as the older seven boys looked in their direction. “Just behind of the MV supplies? Me and Jakyoung went down there once.”

“Do you know where it leads?” Namjoon asked quickly. He was about to ask more when there was a sudden scream comping from the hallway and their door was ripped open, a couple of red eyed bloodied humans running in right after and seemingly targeting the different humans that were there and alive. 

“Run!” Seokjin screamed before standing up, grabbing onto jugnkook’s hand and pulling the younger back just as one of the things ran towards them. The seven were quick on their feet, trying to get away from all of the chaos as they dodged the attacks, making their way to the door that led out of the brutal practice room which was filled with screams from those who were trainees. 

“We have to help them,” taehyung said softly as he looked over at the bunch. 

Yoongi shook his head, holding onto the other and pulling him with the rest away from the room, kicking at what he’d call the modern version of zombies and trying his best to make it to the elevator that Seokjin already had up and open for them. 

They made it with no less than a second to spare, running in and panting as the older pressed for the basement floor, thinking that the tunnels might be the best lead they have at the moment. No doubt the lobby was packed. 

“Yoongi?” Jimin whispered softly, “Your leg.” 

The members all looked down at that moment, seeing the big bight on the side of his thigh where his jeans were ripped and blood was oozing. 

“It’s nothing, I’m fine.” The older replied. His leg was twitching and hurt terribly but as one of the eldest he knew he had to keep his composure. He was okay. It was okay. 

When the elevator beeped and the doors opened, the members were able to step out into a very quiet dark basement area. 

There were still sound so screams up above but overall it was peaceful and the members were thankful for that. 

“Where did he say it was?” Hoseok asked as he pulled out his phone, shinning the light around to see if they could see any entrance. They searched for a moment until making their way to the back where they found the stage outline for their music video “not today” and sure enough, there was a floor opening that read “tunnel system”. 

“Who first?” Namjoon asked as he opened the door up, thinking that it was way too intimidating for him. 

The members were all talking to themselves when Taehyung turned back and saw Yoongi leaning against one of the tables in the room, sweating heavily as he was leaned over, his hand on his thigh. The older looked up and saw the Youngers concern and it was obvious that something was right. 

“I think.... I think I'm going to pass out.” was all yoongi said before he fell over onto his side and Taheyung was scrambling to reach his hyung, yelling his name as he grabbed him. 

The yelling must have caught the attacker’s attention from the sudden pounding that was on the door which was only up a few flight of stairs. 

“Oh my god,” Seokjin said in almost a hushed whisper as they watched dtaehyung begin to cry, trying to push back the older’s bangs as his breathing became labored. He didn’t know what to do or what to say as Yoongi was holding onto his arm, gripping it tightly. His legs were spasming just a little as he tried to breathe. But just as quickly as he seemed to deteriorate, he was gone and a dullness was replaced in his eyes. 

“We have to go,” is all Jungkook said as he pulled taehyung away from yoongi, his screams for the older were heard from everyone including thoughs they didn’t want include. 

Yoongi was gone, and it was only the beginning.

Jungkook: 

When it starts: Life had been going well when the zombie apocalypse started. the youngest of the group had been with his older friend Jimin on vacation to Disneyland when everything had crashed and fallen apart, quite literally. 

The two were on a rollercoaster, enjoying the thrill of adrenaline rushed rides when the ride had come to a steering halt while they were upside down. At first it’d been confusing and with the mixed screams of what they assumed to be energetic fun filled teens on scary rides, it was hard to hear the alarm that’d gone off and was warning park riders to exit the park immediately. 

“What’s happening?” Jungkook had asked as he turned his head, starting to feel all the blood rush down and make him dizzy as he tried to piece what was really going on. 

Jimin wasn’t holding his hand anymore and was instead trying to adjust his seatbelt right when there was a loud click and their over the shoulder seatbelts were released. 

The first reaction of course was to scream, which is exactly what Jungkook did when he felt himself practically free fall down a couple of feet, thanking the gods up above that he’d been holding onto the hand bars which was the only reason why he was still even on the ride unlike a couple other passengers who’d fallen off. 

“No Jungkook!” Jimin had screamed when he reached out. He was still buckled in by the emergency seat belt which jungkook apparently hadn’t bother to put on, barely there but still, barley was better than nothing. 

He reached out, hand grabbing for the younger as he held onto him and instead of pulling him up, let him hang as he tried to assess the situation. 

“Jimin I'm scared,” Jungkook admitted when he looked down. The passengers who’d fallen were merely below him, heads split open from the bars and pavement. “I don’t want to die.” 

“You won't, I’ve got you.” Jimin said as he bit his bottom lip. he could feel the roller coaster slowly inching backwards from all the movement as he held onto the younger, and within a second, the ride was rolling back, the rush pulling Jungkook in towards jimin and knocking the younger unconscious. 

Adapting: After Jimin had successfully carried the younger to the parking lot where their rented car was, he was then able to put the younger int he vehicle and drive away from everything crazy. 

He didn’t even realize what was going on until they were on the highway, driving out of the district and seeing the amount of buildings on fire and utter chaos from the outbreak. His main focus had been his best friend, his best friend who’s head had a big gash and was passed out. 

“You okay?”

Was the first thing asked when Jungkook had actually came to. Akita had become a safe haven once the epidemic hit and Jungkook had honestly been lucky enough to survive with his friend from such a crazy incident. No one knew why the ride stopped working let alone unlocked, but Jimin had a theory that maybe someone had been attacked and hit the control box. 

“Yeah I think I'm okay,” Jungkook had said as he sat up, “Where are we?” 

“Akita, Japan. The only safe place known right now in Japan.” Jimin answered. 

“Safe from what?” 

“The killing virus,” Is all jimin said before everyone else in the room went silent. 

A/N: tae’s made me sad ;-; so please, send me some happy requests

Volume Five – December 2004

Morning Market, Carrefour, Lukang 11/12 Taipei 12/12 Taichung – party 18/12 Xmas 25/12

And so the weeks flew by!! My initial plan to go to  Green Island with Teri and Kim has been put on hold as funds are low as usual and we started planning a Xmas at home dinner etc. Much better! Besides I can then send all my Xmas cards and presents home! Definitely a better plan.

  The swimming has been going great and the steam rooms, Jacuzzi’s etc. are doing me wonders!! So our Taipei weekend was nearing and we were getting very excited about it. Xmas in Taiwan is weird. It’s like to explain to the people in Europe that we also have Christmas even though there’s no snow! Taiwan it’s even weirder because here nobody really knows what Christmas is all about and they go through the motions like they do for Halloween. Although the kids sing the Christmas carols and Silent Night without really knowing what they’re singing…I suppose that’s one way of doing it, at least they’re singing it!

  We are busy setting up the Christmas show and practicing our parts for the play. The kindergarten play is about the problem of Santa fitting down the chimney…quite sweet. And I play……guesss…come on…….nope….not Santa……just a ditsy character…isn’t it cool!!! I can be silly and fit right in without even trying!!! I had the girls and Chinese teachers in stitches with my stage acting!!! I’m a natural…I’ve been telling everybody this for years!!!

  They are playing a lot of Xmas songs on the radio…our one station amoung 100’s we listen to. ICRT. You can listen to it on streaming audio as well if you would like to listen to what I am subject to…after 5 FM it was a great disappointment, but after a few days or weeks with the local stations it’s the best station ever!!!!! Very much the Highveld stereo type channel with some worse and older oldies!! But it’s what we were given and it’s how we listen to it that makes the difference!!!! Right?? Anyway, the places are being decorated.

I had my little package prepared to send home, just needed a few more prezzies. I mentioned this and the next minute we were off to the Morning Market on Saturday at about 12:30. Myself on the scooter with Jane and Melissa on the scooter with Celine! We were off!! I drew my first money out of my new E.Sun bank account! Ooooooohhhhh. At least at some of the ATMs you have the English options on others I used my years of experience and guessed the top left hand corner is the withdrawal and the least amount of money!!! You can only draw a NT$1000 and nothing less! The next denomination is NT$ 3 000, what happened to 2 000, that’s the best one…but I think there’s more to it than that! If you draw 1000 you have to do it twice, charges for the bank, but if you draw 3 000 you are stuck with the cash and have to use it!!! Seee, I knew it, it’s a conspiracy!!! A classic lose lose situation!

  Anyway, we arrived at the market, very busy for a morning market! We walked around and I nearly died at a Chinese stall. The baby clothes, and little suits and outfits and for big people too!!! I’ll have to go back, anybody want to order something before I come home in Aug – Nov. Place your orders – I’ll take pictures and tell you how much! The next minute we were whisked off to Carrefour to do our monthly shopping! On two scooters with two people on it with monthly shopping!! Very interesting but not yet the limit! The huge bag on my right knee and me leaning in on the left knee balanced everything out beautifully!!!

  We dropped all our stuff of at home and our two taxi driver’s took us back up to the bus station where we all bought our tickets for NT$27 to Lukang. Here we come…our favorite ancient city!! We landed, got walking and shopping…naaahh, just looking! Got the last few gifts to wrap and send, visited our sexy Chinese antique dealer (some thought so) and were back on the bus on our way home!

  What a day, our Saturday afternoon felt like a full day! Well, we were getting really excited about tomorrow’s excursion and got to bed fairly early. We had to get up at about 6:00 to catch our 7:20 bus to Taipei.

  We made it with no effort whatsoever. Got the bus station after Eddie our usual Taxi driver took us and bought our NT280 one way ticket to Taipei. The trip was good and took around 2 hours. We chatted most of the way and napped 5min in between. Taipei loomed through the morning fog and we arrived at the bus station. What a city!! Reminded me of London or what New York must feel like!

Huge buildings, wide clean streets, electronic billboards to rival Piccadilly circus and department stores on every corner. All adourned in their Christmas decorations and scenes. We asked a police officer which way was the Taipei 101 building and he looked at us weirdly and pointed in a direction. We sheshe’d which is thank you and went on our way. I’m sure he mentioned we take a bus or taxi to get there but we were in the exploring mode and hit the pavements…..did you hear me say pavements??? And you would be right. Something they were very short of when building the rest of Taiwan. We now had the novelty of walking on broad open pavements….woooooww! The roads were very clean, buildings well looked after and huge department stores floors high looked down on the two country mice from Changhua. Coooolll!!!!! We walked past the most beautifully decorated shops and passed a huge SOGO department store with a huge Xmas scene in the front of the building.

Impressive, nearly Harrods material….I said nearly! We walked on…….stopped for a bite to eat and something to drink at Starbucks, next to a big Christmas tree and saw the tower loom on the horizon. Slowly but surely it was moving towards us, first just a shadow in the smog then the outlines sharpen, then it disappears behind buildings only to reemerge around another. We were looking at our small little map I still got at the airport when I arrived in Taipei and it helped a bit but no details.

Their metro rail or underground is an impressive network. With their snorkels above ground well marked and beckoning to come down and take a ride! Next time! We crossed a street and walked down a tree lined street, like all the others, beautiful. We were walking past a school that definitely doesn’t look like our schools back home and the next minute a huge park opened up before us and the Taipei 101 tower loomed high and mighty. What a stunningly designed building. The sections on it look like trapezoids stacked on top of one another. Giving it an awkward appearance, not the usual broad bottom to thin top, but more a broad top to thinner bottom. The park we crossed over had kids trying to rollerskate and guys teaching them in little groups.  To cute! There was a lady in a corner singing with a guy on his clavinova….at least not the usual karaoke we’re used to. We crossed over and arrived at a very interesting cross over in the road. Diagonally opposite us, was the Taiwan World Trade Centre where the computer show was, to our left was a huge bank and to our right the Hyatt!

The cross over had two parallel lines from each corner of the street as well as diagonally across meeting in the middle. Interesting! Then the lights changed and the masses moved……they crossed over diagonally instead of going from on side of the street to the other and then across again. Very clever! Only problem came when they met in the middle a bit. Definitely not a Lord of the dance routine, that I can promise you!! I want my money back!

Anyway, we did it a few times and finally landed at the TWTC. We walked in after getting a handful of brochures and pamphlets stuffed into our hands….a few feet further was the dumping site of those said brochures. Anyway, we politely hung on to them until we got a gigantic paper bag to put it in! I think I knocked around quite a few people with that bag, definitely ensures about a meter of space either way. This show was to die for doll! I am a bit of a gadgets pig and this was my mud puddle. So many things and people and interesting developments in the computer world. Don’t let me start, I’ll write a computer show review as a novel on it’s own!!! But needless to say, I thought my brother would love everything I saw! From new mobile MP4 players (that’s with video clips/music video’s etc) to online games galore at ridiculous prices…needless to say my palms were itching and it needed a product to scratch it! And I found it! A stunning little Samsung brand new camera release! Small, light weight but with all the added features you don’t expect! And that’s not all, it has many hidden features you can only find by killing the battery pressing buttons, as you don’t get an English manual with it…so it’s a little experience and adventure all rolled into one!!! Myself and Melissa succumbed to the temptation and both got one! Needless to say the little Chinese sales man, who could speak English very well, and they got him to talk to us because of this built in feature, loaded with a Yves Saint Laurent necklace and looking like he does quite well for himself, was very pleased. A cool guy to speak to as well as we waited for Melissa’s Credit Card transaction to go through, with all the noise they poor sales guys couldn’t hear the bank on the phone and they were hiding behind cupboards and in cupboards to be able to hear the phone. Eventually, after them giving us some pens and manicure sets to apologize for the inconvenience, we were off to our next adventure, Taipei 101.

Hamburg Travel Guide – Tips for Visiting Hamburg

Hamburg Travel Guide

Hamburg is a city that represents one of sixteen Lands of Germany. The city is located on the bank of the Elba River near the Northern Sea. Hamburg is the second largest city of Germany after Berlin and the seventh largest city in whole European Union. Moreover, this is the most populated city of Europe that is not a capital. In 2008 the population of Hamburg estimated 1 773 218 people. Besides its own flag and emblem, Hamburg has its own hymn. This is very rare for cities.

Best Things to Do in Hamburg

Elbphilharmonie
