*walks into blog and sits down on couch*

So Wife Kaisa so Totally has a mug that says Worlds Best dad and she walks around with that thing in front of Anders just to piss him off :3

*takes Sip or tea*

*eats cookie *

*offers you a cookie *

*chokes on my own tea*

*waves my hands to let you know I’m okay and you just caught me off guard*

No you’re so right. When she says she’ll steal your girl she doesn’t just mean your ex wife. And the best part is I can see Hilda being the one to give it to her. Maybe they all made mugs for their dads in Father’s Day at school and Hilda went “this ceramic is too beautiful to be left behind when he eventually moves away again” and gives it to the woman who only just moved in their house.

Kaisa cries

I'm thinking about a cold, wet morning after patrol in Gotham and Tim is just fucking shaking cause he's freezing, and the closest house is Jason's current safehouse. So he drops by, almost a Red Robin-cicle, and Jason's big brother mode takes over full-stop.

Just Tim, being ushered inside and given a blanket and the next thing he knows Jason has made a cup of apple cider from the little instant packets he keeps in the cabinet and he's putting it in Tim's hands, grumbling about "No one in this fucking family knows how to take care of themselves-" and Tim can't help but laugh.

He laughs, because Jason looks a lot like Alfred right now. Grumbling about him being irresponsible, but still going to the trouble of making sure he's warm and that he doesn't get sick. And Jason glares at him, makes an off-handed comment about how he should let him freeze.

"You're not gonna do that."

"Don't be so sure."

"Nah, you've got that same look in your eye that Alfred gets when Bruce hasn't been eating. You'd feel bad, even if you think I'm a pain in the ass right now."

i’ve been reminiscing of a different tabletop game i used to be in, so here’s abby abyss and ABBY ABYSS, a drummer who tried to make a deal with the devil but do a trick to allow her not to pay her soul, wound up accidentally ripping her soul in half, spent like a decade in so much pain because her bifurcated soul were straining to combine again while trapped on two different planes of reality, suddenly got her half-soul back but it came back irradiated with hell (hellburned) and now she just is part demon and the demon part has not drummed in a decade.

Booklet Description: 16 ROTTERDAM, Europe's busiest port, stands astride the New Maas River. An 18-mile channel dredged so deep it will carry all but the largest ocean-going vessels, connects it to the North Sea. More than 70 million tons of merchandise is brought into its harbors each year. Since the New Maas is the mouth of the Rhine River, most of the cargo is carried from Rotterdam by barge on through Europe's inland waterways. The large vessels resting in their home port belong to the Holland American Line.

East River, New York (Black Ball Packet Departing, c. 1863), by John Stobart (1929-)

[the-prophecy]

Mom is talking with Nani about the stuff she is bringing from us and I'm roaming there trying to fit a midnights cd in there

[witchblade]

i ordered groceries for the first time in a while bc im feeling like evil shadow skull and i had one (1) $3 Dramamine on the list and the shopper replaced it with a $34 IBS relief supplement?

the way that ben stands in front of the fridge with the door open, staring into it without making a decision on what he wants to eat. probably in just his underwear (and maybe socks), letting all of the cold air out of the fridge? quit it. he isn’t 5 years old, choose what you wanna eat, ben. that gives eliza the ick.

you're absolutely right. in his undies, scratching his face.

[rizsu]

he's married ?! nanami kento.

sum. he's easily the top most handsome guy within his job. his relationship status is unknown, so what happens when his co-workers ship him with a female worker?

nanami is well known within his company. tall, insanely fit, and an attractive voice. it's not uncommon for men and women alike to find themselves thinking about him often. what's not common is knowing about his love life. no one knows anything and he would've kept it that way. but when push comes to shove, and you're shipped with someone who's not your beloved, nanami will make it known that he's not only taken but married.

in the coffee-break room there are three guys. now, there's nothing unusual about this — no, no. they're just three guys that are co-workers... except there's a twist. they aren't your regular co-workers, they're your uncommon trio of male gossipers and nanami just so happened to be their newest victim.

"shh, shh! he's here," guy one, tichi, whispers to the others, raising his eyebrows and pointing his chin to nanami's position.

the other two take a quick glance, nodding their heads when they've seen nanami's back faced towards them. it's a perfect moment to strike up a conversation, especially since it's just four men here.

guy two, tacho, shuffles his feet to the empty space near nanami. he pretends to open a sugar packet, fiddling with it as his eyes peep over nanami's shoulder. his heart skips multiple beats when the man himself turns around.

"morning to you, tacho," nanami greets, nodding his head before he turns his attention back to his cup of coffee.

"y-yeah, morning!" he stutters, awkwardly smiling in return. he turns his head to the other two in the background, mouthing the word 'help' to them. unfortunately, they do not give the aid to their friend. instead, tichi fakes a series of coughs and guy three, toeny, gives him a confident double thumbs up. there's no hope, tacho sighs.

it's a silent moment between the men — only the sounds of coffee brewing and a spoon coming into contact with the mug can be heard. tacho's mouth itches him, he happened to remember his group's recent conversation about nanami. he must ask — even if it costs him a mutual co-worker.

"so, nanami," he begins, waiting for nanami to give him the undivided attention.

nanami doesn't face him, but he hums in response. tacho doesn't mind this as an answer, so he continues, "i was wondering if the rumors of you being with the new worker, yeri, are true?"

there is one big lie in that question: there are no such rumors. it's just a theory the trio has been gossiping about every night. nanami's been helping out yeri for quite some time, one can only think that they have a special connection going on.

"that is bullshit," nanami gives a firm answer. nothing more, nothing less.

tacho's stunned, he blinks a few times to recollect himself. "oh — so you're not with her?"

nanami doesn't answer yet, but the two in the back give their unwanted reactions. tichi clicks his tongue three times, shaking his head in disappointment at tacho's second question. it's obvious dumbass, he thinks. toeny, on the other hand, presses his lips in a thin line, pretending to read a magazine that's been on the counter.

nanami reaches into his pocket, whipping out his phone. the trio's confused until nanami speaks.

"i am married man. this is my wife," he educates, pressing the power button to show you as his lockscreen.

he collects three gasps, internally nodding at their shock. that's right, i'm gladly taken.

"all this time you've been... MARRIED?!" tacho's voice heightens, he drops his spoon in shock. it's unbelievable yet somewhat believable.

nanami breathes out a 'yes', raising his arm to show the wristwatch. "she bought this for our five-years anniversary recently. it's quite expensive, going over four-thousand," he brags, emphasizing on key words.

he's been waiting for the precious day where someone indirectly asks for his relationship status. the day has come and he will spend it bragging about his beloved.

nanami doesn't give them a chance to speak, he carries on with his bragging, "she's a very lovely woman. all my bentos are made by her and she writes little notes for each. some may think it's childish but that's bullshit! they just haven't experienced the love of a woman. matter of fact, her most beautiful moments are when she's freshly awake. the smile she gives me is nothing but angelic."

his speech doesn't stop there, but it did for the trio. his words went in one ear and out the next. nanami's blabbering about his wife immediately set a blank face upon tichi, tacho, and toeny. they're jealous and also surprised.

"the way a woman can change a man will never not be amazing," toeny whispers, blankly gazing at nanami's ongoing speech.
