#so I'm going to let youtube handle it to be safe

[raycatzdraws]

An unfinished Linked Universe / Zelda 1&2 animatic.

I forgot I'd made this!!! I'd gotten to a point where I realized I wanted to understand Hyrule's games better before continuing, so I stopped. Not sure if I'll return to it but I think what's here is pretty cool and worth sharing!

Linked Universe is from @linkeduniverse. The song is Run Boy Run by Woodkid.

The song works so well for Rulie aAAAA!!! The imagery around Hyrule is so fun to play with, too! Red, and blood, and hands, and eyes, and fire, and gold, and the triforce- it's all so good!

(made this in December 2021 lol)

29 Asks! Thank you! :)) ✏️

My dearest compadre I am left handed

@ardent-38

WOAH hold your horses there friend! Octo and Seafoam aren't a couple- they're more akin to brothers than anything. So there will be no kissing in any scenario I conjure up for them <XDD

But other than that-- WAHGGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😭😭😭🥰🥰 YOUR MESSAGE MEANT SO MUCH TO MEEEE!!! 😭😭🥰💞💞 --and honestly have encouraged me to reconsider drawing that idea!! :00 So thank you for that too! :DDDD

A force shutdown isn't the word I'd use to describe cybertronian fainting.. "force" sounds more like someone on the outside doing something to Ratchet to make him shut down when he is otherwise healthy/ok. Rather than something going wrong internally.

Like if he was going under for surgery, maybe when he goes under it could be called "force shutdown" as well as "inducing stasis".

Now a "system failure" or "system crash" might be more appropriate for fainting or suddenly collapsing. When Ratchet injected the Synth-en maybe his systems were overwhelmed by the foreign substance and he suffered a complete system crash and collapsed.💔

Something tells me that wouldn't work somehow, but I don't have all the technical knowhow to really explain why that would be a bad idea <XD I'm sure Ratchet could explain why that would be bad.

Hmmm, good question...

The only thing that comes to mind is for Raf I headcanon that he is fluent in sign language and that's how he communicates with/understands Bee. (My version of Bee communicates with sign language, not random beeps and boops that Raf somehow magically understands)

@rainbowwatermelon7

A drawing of mine doesn't feel complete or "safe to post" unless its been watermarked. But it could be different for you and that's ok :0

I mostly draw the scribbly head when I'm feeling well, and the drippy head when I am unwell in someway. I have been dealing with some health problems for well over a year now so drawing myself drippy became my new norm. <XD But its starting to get old so I might return to the scribble head just for the fun of it tbh-

I just like to draw it a bright and fun red instead of a dull and realistic dark red :00

Probably mentally break down and die somehow. 🫠 I couldn't handle living in a world where our planet and everyone on it could be destroyed by Megatron at any moment. Let alone being on the front lines along side the Autobots.

I do have other social medias, but they are all private/just for viewing other peoples art. This is the only one I post artwork to :00

Bibi you mean? I guess I was inspired by cats <XD But I cant remember anything specific that inspired me other than that.

@zecromgen5

Nothing specific I can share online, 😅 but yeah things have been alright!

I only know of YouTube <:( That's where I watched it back then.

@candyglumboy

Aww! The boys!! :DD

(Referencing this post)

Same ✋😔

@milk-powrit

My favorite of the beasts is Mystic Flour, for personality, powers and design. The others are alright I suppose <XD

I would probably be poisoned and die within the day 💀

If you mean if I was a transformer tho, I'd probably become really emotionally unstable like Ratchet was and just sob uncontrollably until I burned through it all 😅

I've seen it floating around Tumblr, but I never really looked into it <:0

He's recruiting more Autobots it seems XDDD

They might not want to fish, but they'd like to watch the koi swim around! :)

AAAA Thank you so much!!! :DDD

@florafandoms

Ough... so old.. 💔💔

Also thank you so much!! :DD

@misscherrypie (Pics from this post)

XDD I was hoping people would notice that. I think a hug from Bibi would fix me 🥺🥺

Pick up a pencil and my friend you have the power to bring a flood 🌊

@briandraws

My spirit animal ngl

@wolfie-777

Hey that cat is pretty cute! We should make a beloved internet meme about it! :D

@kaiserdarken

I have no idea <:0 Since MatPat took a step back from his channels I haven't been keeping up with any new FNAF lore 😔

@beryl-shade

I would obliterate the fleas with my Mary sue mind powers. No fleas shall cause my babies discomfort ☝️☝️

I have now. <XD How bizarre-

[tinheart]

So, here is a little something for @hobbystu for the Stobotnik Fic Exchange on discord!

Robotnik survived, and he and Stone are living quietly in Green Hills. The only problem? They're still not together! Enter Tom and Maddie to save the day.

"Wow, you're home early." Maddie told Tom as her opened the front door.

"Yeah, well, we've got a problem. And I think…. I need your help."

That wasn't too unusual. The people in this town turned to Tom for everything, even things that a trained veterinarian would have probably been more equipt to deal with. Maddie tried not to think too hard about why that was. "What is it?"

"Well, it turns out Robotnik might not be as… retired as we thought. I just had to shoot down a few of his ugly flying robots which were trying to carry away Wade."

"Oh my God!"

"Don't worry, I took them out. Not to brag but, it only took one shot each." Tom failed to mention that Wade was still a little too high off the ground when the robots were taken out and Sonic had to keep him from having a disaterous meeting with the asphalt. "Anyway, we need to figure out what to do about this."

"Okay, well… I mean I'm just going to start with the obvious. Why not arrest him?l

"Uh… it's not that simple. For one thing, he doesn't officially exist anymore." When Robotnik had showed up, months after the explosion of the eclipse cannon, the people of Greenville hadn't been convinced it was safe to let him stay. Only the longtime residency of Stone (generally trusted by the populous, barring that brief period where he was complicite in giant robot havok) had convinced them. Well, that and Stone promised the doctor wouldn't create any more problems for the citizens of Greenville.

Technically, he hadn't made any such promises about the rest of the world. But so far, Robotnik had just been quietly living with Stone in the apartment above the coffee shop. For all appearances retired from world domination.

Another factor was, Tom had gone to confront Robotnik, and the mad scientist had insisted he had nothing to do with it. His tech was government owned, and could have been cloned or sold to any number of organizations. Any number of whom could have had a vendetta against a small town deputy sheriff.

"Okay but Robotnik makes a point. Not about foreign governments wanting to kidnap Wade, but why would Robotnik go after Wade? And so obviously too? After all their time here, there would have to be a reason he would risk-"

"Wade asked Stone out."

Maddie's face fell. "Oh no… why would Wade do that? I really didn't think he was the type to go after someone who is so obviously taken."

"Well, that's the problem. Apparently Stone isn't taken… he and the Doctor don't have that kind of relationship. According to Wade, Stone told him that himself."

"What? That doesn't make any sense! The entire world saw that Livestream! Well, except for you."

"Oh no, I saw it later, when I was looking up YouTube videos explaining how the moon got circumcised. It seemed pretty definitive to me too."

"Is it… is there any possibility Stone didn't see it?"

"I mean, it's hard to believe but maybe? But honestly, at this point they're living together, you think someone as smart as Stone would have figured it out by now."

"So… what do we do?"

"Okay, this is gonna kind of sound crazy but, I think for the safety of the whole town, we're gonna have to… resolve this misunderstanding."

"You mean pair them up. Play matchmaker?"

"Yeah. Well, are you in?"

Maddie grabbed her purse. "Say less. I'll talk to Stone, you handle Robotnik."

"Uh, actually, could we switch? I think he still holds a bit of a grudge for the whole… knocking him out thing." And secretly, Tom was still holding a bit of a grudge for the whole trying to kill Sonic thing.

"Okay. But it's going to be hard to lure him out of that Cafe. I think it's best we talk to them separate first. Lord knows together they're hard enough to handle."

Entering the Mean Bean together, Maddie began heading towards the stairs that would take her to the apartment above the shop while Tom approached the counter. Stone, behind the counter, followed Maddie with his gaze until she ascended the stairs, and then turned to Tom. It gave Tom the feeling he had assesssed them both and determined they were not a threat. Slightly insulting, but lucky for them, since fighting to get in to see the mad doctor would probably work against their plan.

"Good afternoon. Have you got a minute to talk?"

Stone smiled. "Am I under arrest, officer?" Gentle, almost teasing.

"Not yet," Tom couldn't help but tease back. He could see why Wade liked the guy. "No, just a friendly chat, if you don't mind." And without waiting for a yes, Tom turned and found an empty table, and sat down.

After a few minutes, Stone joined him, still in his apron and carrying two mugs. One was Tom's standard order, which he placed in front of Tom without comment. Tom had long ago stopped wondering whether it was poisoned. In any case, it was always good enough to risk it.

"So," Tom began. "I need to talk to you about an incident this morning involving my deputy…"

Things had gotten off to a promising start with Robotnik. At least Maddie had finally gotten him to stop calling her Collateral Damage.

"What more is there to say? I saved the world for him!"

"Well, yes, you did that. But all you actually said was that you liked his coffee and considered him a friend. I think that half the town could say as much."

"Wha-guh-Grr! This town is full of simpering, licentious-"

"Look all I'm saying is, it's understandable why he might be confused? I mean, " she pursed her lips to keep from smiling "Since we are all so far below your intellect-"

"Don't!" Robotnik jabbed a finger at her. "Don't presume to place Stone on the same level as the rest of you. While beneath my obvious superior intellect, he is far above your own!"

"Interesting… have you ever told him that?"

"You don't understand the Doctor."

"Well I get that he's a genius…"

"Genius?" Stone scoffed. "That word is so overused. Most "geniuses" are only ten percent smarter than the mean intelligence, if that. They spend their whole lives struggling to maintain their pitifully small elevation about the masses. The Doctor is so far above us, he can't even comprehend our limitations. He's a force of nature. When you fall in-" Stone hesitated, cleared his throat. "When you fall in love with the sun, you don't expect it to love you back. When you admire the beauty of a raging storm, you don't expect the storm to pause and notice you. The Doctor offered me his friendship." Stone looked down into his own coffee, cradled in his hands. "That's enough. That's more than I ever would have hoped for. That's… that has to be enough."

"Alright but what if… what if the storm did notice you?"

Stone looked up at him with such wide and hopeful eyes that Tom had to take a moment and reconfirm the fact he was straight.

"You want me to flattery him?"

"I want you to stop trying to convince him of how smart you are! Trust me, he already knows! Just try talking about him, his interests, what he likes… not about work! Show him you're interested in him as a person, not just as an assistant."

"I feel this would work better if I just cooked for the doctor. He has very specific preferences-"

"Look, Aban-"

"Stone, please."

"Okay, noted, Stone. You have to stop acting like your auditioning for the job of his assistant. Trust me, you have it already. We are ordering in so you both can relax and enjoy each others company."

"I think the doctor would enjoy it more if-"

"It's not just about him, you need to enjoy yourself too."

Stone gave him a look that said, very clearly, that he would enjoy nothing more than the doctor getting exactly what he wanted.

Tom sighed. "Look, you need to help him separate out the idea of dating you from the idea of working with you, okay? Trust me, you want things to change, you have to be willing to do something differently."

"Fine… I'll order in."

"So, is Stone allergic to anything? We don't want to give him chocolate covered nuts if he's-"

"No food allergies, but he is deathly allergic to penicillin, and all dirivitive antibiotics." Robotnik leaned down conspiratorially. "Between you and me, that was one of the reasons he was on the top of the candidate list. It's always good to know how to eliminate someone covertly, if you tire of them." He straightened back up. "What about your lesser half… Fnord?"

"Tom."

"Hmm… sounds like a made up name."

"Uh, I don't think he has any allergies. At least, nothing I know of."

"Hmm." Robotnik pretended to study his fingernails as they continued down the chocolate aisle. "Well, if you got me a sample of his blood, I could run a full screening. As a favor."

Maddie was struck by the fact that she was honestly unsure if Robotnik was being deceptive, or if he was genuinely offering her a favor. " I think I'll pass… gotta leave a little mystery in the relationship, right?"

"Besides which of you will keel over and die first?"

"Uh, yeah, exactly. Here, lets just get an assortment. No flower allergies, right?"

"None of the commercially grown varieties, however-"

"Great! we'll just do standard roses."

The Mean Bean had been closed early. The tables had been moved away so only one remained, in the center of the room. The Olive Garden takeout had been transferred from its styrofoam packaging and plated onto the finest dishes they could find.

At least the table settings matched.

Stone had changed out of his work clothes and was in a trishaded black suit and tie. While it definitely reminded Tom of his government uniform, it was also the best they were going to do on short notice. (Tom had offered to loan Stone some jeans, but Stone had asked if they were going to be doing masonry work in such a scathing tone that Tom was honestly considering buying a suit on his way home.

"Now remember, no trying to serve him, okay? We are shooting for equals."

What Stone shot him was a very pointed look.

"Alright fine, we're shooting for close enough to his level to be worth dating."

Stone nodded grimly.

"Oh cheer up man, it's a date, not a funeral!"

Before Stone could respond, Maddie and Robotnik arrived.

Robotnik was in his "flight suit", although it hadn't been used for flight for some time. The edges of his sleeves had been mended with crochet. He mustache was as neat as they had seen it lately, and he was holding a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates.

"My my, don't you look handsome!" Maddie said to Stone. "Don't you think he looks handsome, Doctor?"

Maddie made an encouraging geasture at Robotnik, who merely began blushing. He strode over to Stone and shoved the flowers and chocolates into his arms with enough force to make the agent stumble back a step. "Here. You know what to do with these."

"Yes sir-uh, doctor. Shall I cut them in half so you don't have any unpleasant surprises?"

"No you imbecile! You consume them yourself! All of them!"

"woah," said Maddie. "Maybe a little less name calling-"

At the same time Tom said "you can wait until after dinner-"

But it was Stone who cut them both off with a tight smile. "Thank you so much, both of you, but I believe the doctor and I can take it from here."

Maddie and Tom looked at each other, uncertain.

"Uh, sure, we'll just--"

"Yeah okay-"

And sheepishly the both went into the kitchen to give the pair some privacy.

"The… weather has been within the standard predictions recently."

"Control of the weather during warfare is by the Geneva convention."

"Really, of course I could devise an undetectable way to- uh, nevermind. Do you… enjoy military conventions."

"Uh, not especially. Can we go back to your weather invention?"

"No"

Agent Stone sighed and stood up. "I don't want this."

"Well, you're the one who ordered-"

"No I mean this," he gestured at everything. "This… stunted small talk. These uncomfortable attempts to be… it's not. It's not us."

The Doctor narrowed his eyes. "Oh? And what is it, exactly, that you want?"

"I want you to… to talk about your ideas and inventions! Even if I don't understand. Especially if I don't understand! And I want to cook for you, and meet all of you exacting specifications. I don't want flowers and chocolates and catered dates and small talk I just want… us."

Robotnik stood and looked over Agent Stone. In the kitchen, Maddie held her breath.

"… so you don't want anything to change between us?"

"Uh, well… maybe… maybe we could just add…"

"Addition, to the equation, something like… this?" and Robotnik gripped his chin and leaned down to kiss him.

Just as Stone began melting into the kiss, Robotnik punched him in the gut. Stone crumpled to his knees. Robotnik never let go of his chin, and smiled evilly. "Left yourself open."

"Tom! How could you just watch that-"

"Maddie it's not what you think-"

"Okay then explain what it is! Because it LOOKS like-"

"Listen, Agent Stone, emphasis on Agent, is a highly trained combatent who is in pretty good shape, and Robotnik has a glass jaw. If Stone didn't want to be in that situation, he wouldn't be."

"So what, he's just humoring Robotnik?"

"Uh, that's not what I'm saying."

"Then what? Spit it out Tom!"

"Okay so, uh, sometimes men—or women! Or anyone— when someone is used to being very physical, to handling themselves, you know for work or something, sometimes they… like… to not. Not be. To just kinda let someone… take over that aspect."

"Thomas J Wachioski, are you saying you'd like to enjoy being knocked around a bit?" And she watched as her white boy turned bright pink. "Oh, that looks like a yes!"

She reached up to grab a fistful of his collar and pull him down into a kiss. "Come on, I think we've done enough good deeds today. Time to be a little evil ourselves."

Later, while absently carding his fingers through Stone's hair, Robotnik was idling musing. "Those two meddlesome busybodies are now privy to entirely too much of my personal life. You'll take care of them, won't you Stone?"

And Stone, enjoying the afterglow and already thinking about gift baskets and bottles of wine he could send to the Wachowskis, said "Of course Doctor."

[proship-confessional]

okay apparently i wasn't done with the gacha talk, heres my thoughts on whats known as, Gacha Heat (aka sexual depictions/themes made via the gacha games) ask 99/100 people within the gacha community, and you'll be told gacha heat is disgusting and shouldn't exist. honestly, likely the closest i had to an anti a few years ago. if you ask me, it lies within purity culture ranks. the main argument goes as follows "Gacha is a kids game, and children shouldn't be exposed to sexual material". fair point, to an extent. there are a lot of people using gacha who are say, under the ages of 10. while i don't agree that children should be entirely blind to sex as a concept, i can understand how what is basically porn wouldn't be good for a child of those ages or younger to be consuming. heres where my main issue lies. while it is in its basis a game targeted at younger children, the places where they're most likely to see gacha porn are social media's. so, youtube, tumblr, sites of the such. now the thing is, all of these sits are 13+, and if you haven't seen a drawn on dick by the age of 13, congrats, because honestly god damn thats impressive. now, i understand, mostly with youtube where parents make accounts for their children, theres less of a filtering system, and you can find god damn anything, maybe gacha porn (calling it that bc i hate the term "gacha heat" so much) wouldn't be the best thing to post. i'm going to mostly focus on tumblr, for this part. tumblr, land of tags, easy blocking, and filtering my love. as long as it's tagged correctly, kept in the right areas, then i think it's fine. of course, theres going to be slipups, but again, most gacha porn is little more than a drawn on dick, sometimes a vagina or boobs. why i think gacha porn shouldn't be as demonized as it is? a few reasons. my main one being: almost any kid of the age of 13 or older (again, almost every single social medias required age) gets horny. and i'd much rather a teen of any age explore sexual desires through a dressup game then get hurt. because a horny teen is a stupid teen, let me tell you, and a stupid teen is a vulnerable teen. and i think teens should be able to express sexual urges and desires, that sexual thoughts in itself are fine and shouldn't be demonized. because there are going to be kids out there who made gacha porn, it got into circles it shouldn't have, and they were shunned for having sexual desires and thoughts, to the point sexuality in itself was considered bad in their minds, further feeding the cycle. instead of yelling at younger kids/teens for having sexual thoughts, teach them how to handle it safely, if they want to post their gacha porn, let them, and teach them how to properly display it in a way no ones going to get hurt. because it's gotten to the point where you can't have a new gacha mod, and have a god damn croptop without seeing things like "i hope the gacha heaters don't find this", or even getting "accused" of it. a lot of people treat gacha porn like how anti's treat people who are proship, and thats not okay. people shouldn't be hurt and demonized by the way they express their sexual desires, in any shape or form. there may be some flaws in this, i might be biased, but thats my thoughts on it

all of this!!!! yes!!!!!

halloween with the hsr boys

pairing: dan heng; jing yuan; blade x reader

sof's note: guess who is in a halloweeny mood :> meee! and i'm sure a lot of y'all are as well so let's bask in these autumn vibes together LOL special shoutout to the anon who suggested dan heng would watch like 15 vids before he carves a pumpkin fhsjkghdf that is so accurate <3 pls enjoy and happy fall!!

dan heng

not big on the spooky parts of halloween, but he loves getting in the halloween/autumn spirit by watching twitches and halloween town with you

you host a pumpkin carving contest on halloween eve between the two of you and dan heng 100% takes it seriously

days of prep before the big night, hours of youtube videos in his history… he even reads up on the origins of pumpkin carving—just to be fully immersed and prepared

when the time comes, dan heng has his tools lined up in the most efficient order as he readies himself to make his design

he, of course, wanted to carve a tree with maple leaves falling in the night sky

you stare at his template with wide eyes, quickly scrapping your happy face idea to think of something more creative…

noticing this, dan heng chuckles in amusement. “you don’t have to change your design to match mine”

you shake your head. “and risk losing the competition? no way”

“then may the best carver win”

when the two of you are done, you take a photo and send to your friends to vote

it was a close call, but dan heng ends up winning by two votes

“maybe i should’ve joined your pumpkin carving research…” you pout, staring between your finished product and his

“there’s always next year,” dan heng soothes, giving you a hug. “besides, you’re always the winner in my eyes.”

jing yuan

he would make all the pies for you

pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, sweet potato pie, apple crumble pie…you name it 

he doesn’t even know how to make pie he just googled a bunch of recipes and winged it

you think something tastes off but you try to encourage him anyway 

of course, jing yuan sees right through it

“it‘s not that i don’t like your baking, i really do, but i may have some suggestions for the future…”

“there is no need to sugarcoat your distaste, y/n,” he says with a laugh. “we can redo them together.”

the pies turn out even better the next time

the two of you end up picking up pie making as your fall-time hobby this year and bake pie for all your friends

he tries to make a mimi-safe pie as well

mimi hates it (pumpkin spice is not good on the lion’s tongue) 

but you think the effort is cute :> 

he ends halloween night off by sharing a yummy slice of apple crumble pie with whipped cream on top with you

“so sweet!” you state happily as he feeds you the first bite. 

jing yuan leans forward and smiles. “not as sweet as you” 

blade

goes all in for halloween

is dead instead most of the year, comes to life for the halloween spirit

he likes to decorate the house with you, even making a mini “haunted maze” in the driveway for the trick-or-treaters

accidentally makes a kid cry in it…

really, he just went in the maze to do a quick maintenance check, but he looked so menacing in his costume that a kid saw him and started crying 

blade is too confused about what happened to feel bad 

you give the kid extra candy and apologize to their parents while stifling a laugh at blade’s blank expression

“i didn’t even say ‘boo’,” he murmurs curiously.

you just pat him on the head and give him a kiss on the cheek

after the trick-or-treat shenanigans, you and blade relax and unwind on the comfort of your couch

his definition of unwinding on halloween is watching old horror movies

[or, if you cannot handle horror like me: he watches the barbie movies with you to help you take your mind off the halloween scares and go to sleep :3]

you cuddle him as you doze off while eating leftover halloween candy 

blade carries you to bed and tucks you in for the night bc you deserve a good night’s rest <3

Hey, I see you reblogging all my stuff. I appreciate your energy, I do. You're a minor. Stop. I'm not going to @ you, don't worry. I also want to say this to any other minors following me.

Stop.

Don't get involved in this. Don't reblog this stuff. Don't make this a heavy part of your online life. Just read what you need to read to be safe and understand why what she's doing is harmful then leave it behind.

You're a kid, you're supposed to doing a thousand other things. Go have fun. Let the adults carry this. Let us handle this. Go play. Go watch youtube with your friends, play a game together, go start a new hobby, go learn about something.

This is your time to really enjoy life without burdens and responsibilities.

Online you are entirely too put upon by adults to preform in ways you should not. They try to make you activists before you've even finished your exit exams and that isn't fair. You shouldn't have to know all the horrible shit that's happening in the world and have an opinion on it. You shouldn't have to worry about this shit yet.

We failed you.

We all failed you.

We should have taught you internet safety and made safe places for you to have fun. The spaces we had when we were kids are gone and we failed to make new ones for you. I am so sorry.

Don't burn yourself out. You're not a bad person for just being a kid. Enjoy being a kid. I never got to. I got into this way too early and it's taken a toll on my mental health so deeply so I'm begging you to not make the mistake I did.

Go play.

Go play for all of us that didn't get to.

Find your passion and hold it close to your chest. Don't let anyone snuff out that light. It will do more good for you as an adult than anything else.

It's not cringe. It's not bad. You aren't selfish.

This isn't your responsibility.

hihi i'm here to pick that massive brain of yours 😼

can we have some headcanons (or anything really) of george having a crush on a popular streamer!reader and maybe all his friends tease him about it bc he's just so smitten and has negative rizz around them? (sorry if this is basic but I can't get the idea out of my mind)

smitten

masterlist & descrip. pg. 13+. popular streamer!reader. fluff. george pining after reader. bsf!larray bc i felt like it. use of 'y/n'. swearing.

a/n. this has been rotting in my inbox for almost 3 weeks soooo here we are lmaoo. started writing 8/26/23, finished writing 8/29/23. crazy right??

”heeyy guys– oh fuck.” those were the first words george ever heard you say.

george had heard your twitch handle – your username – float around twitter for awhile since you had another big project coming up. but the first time he saw you was in larray's newest youtube video. you'd opened the door to the room larray was pacing around in, talking into this phone's microphone, and you had two coffees in hand. ”heeyy guys– oh fuck.” the cut off was when one of the coffees spilled a little bit out of the lid and onto the floor. larray let his jaw fall slack, looking between the camera and the floor by the entrance. ”oh bitch how did that happen?”

”shut up.” you start, stepping over the spill to put the coffees down on his desk. ”do you have paper towels?” and then the video cut to him driving alone in his car, singing along to another song as he did almost ritualistically during these cuts.

it was that video that sent george down the rabbit hole. it started with your youtube channels, your main which was mostly your shortened streams and those very rare vlogs you did with friends. almost two hours had gone by when he realised just how long he'd been watching your videos and laughing every few minutes because you had said something funny, or you added to a joke someone else had started.

then there was your twitch, which had him travelling over to your twitter, and after reading like ten of your tweets, he followed you. after shaking his head and closing twitter, he found himself scrolling through your instagram. starting with the most recent, which he liked, that was safe enough, and he just kept going, at least until one of his roommates knocked on his door, and he accidentally liked a really old post. it was late and he didn't understand what could possibly be so important.

.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. ︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶ .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.

george didn't bother telling any of his friends about you as he didn't feel it was necessary. ping. that was weird. george could've sworn he'd silenced his phone. then again, this wasn't his stream and he could afford to check it right then.

twitter – 1 new notification @ yourusername followed you back!

his lips parted, a heavy exhale leaving him. it was weird, but he smiled at it. ”ooooh george, what's, or who's got you smilin' over there?” sapnap half-turned around in his chair, wiggling his eyebrows at his roommate. george's eyes snap up to his friend. ”uh, what?” sapnap just sort of laughs it off and goes back what he was doing prior.

”hi george, i'm y/n.” you extended a hand out to the brit and after what felt like forever, he put his hand in yours and shook. ”hi.” was the only word he could manage out. as much as he wanted to make a good first impression, the only thing he could do when he looked at you was smile. it was something easily picked up by the rest of the group; sapnap, dream and larri. there were shared looks between the three, ones neither you or george saw.

you'd of course heard of the dream team, they were popular streamers, but you'd also heard about them from larri, who knew them a quite a bit better than the internet did.

larri was the first to speak up to get everyone back on track, to record the video. ”anyways so–”

god, george was a goner for you, and he didn't even really know you. at least not yet.

I present to you, a listener character!!

YouTube Audio Series: Gator Boys

Listener: Bug (in nearly all varieties except literally)

Name: Beatrice "Trish" Atknis

Never knew a biological family, grew up in an orphanage in Aakahn, where the environment was less than ideal for a small child. The kids in their care would quickly learn to fend for themselves, stealing food, coin purses, medical supplies, whatever they might need whenever they might get the chance to get it.

Beatrice learned quickly to play the tough girl act, to play at being confident and do everything on her own.

When she managed to get out of the orphanage, she tried to get a better life for herself with an honest job but it's not as easy as it seemed to be for everyone else. After a few years of bouncing from job to job, she decided to try to be a hunter, the work' i's dangerous but she could handle herself and not only was it well paid but hunting down monsters sounded like an honorable enough job. What could possibly go wrong?

She could get herself lost and then step right into a bear trap! That's what could go wrong! Because Divines forbid anything actually works her way even once! Her very long and varied list of curses did not seem like enough as images of dying alone in the middle of nowhere where bleeding out or starving were the better options when compared to being brutally murdered by some swamp moster made the rounds in her head... Maybe her next life would be better, because there was no way it could actually be worse! At least it wasn't like she was leaving anyone behind to remember her, let alone miss her...

As it happens, her whole life was about to take a turn she had never even dreamt possible.

Turns out, the “monsters” of the swamp weren’t the big green and clawed alligator half bloods, but the humans who hunted them. Kinder than any human she had ever met, these gators take her in and show her something she had only ever dreamt of – a true home. They look after her when she's injured and when she's sick, never doing anything to make her feel like a burden. They care for each other and even for her, a human who they know basically nothing about "Do humans not help each other? The way I see it, it's only natural to help a person when they need it." an action that seemed so natural to them yet feels absolutely foreign to her even though she knew it shouldn't. For the first time ever she felt... Safe.

Confessing to being a hunter was the scariest thing she’d ever even considered doing, but Bodie admits to have known all along and so revealing himself SOMEHOW even kinder than she already thought him to be. But what about Marco? Or, Divines forbid, Timmy…?

As she's gathering her courage and picking just the right words and where to even START that conversation, the chance gets taken away from her... With the catfish out of the bag, she just hopes to be able to help and maybe, just maybe, Divines willing, they'd understand too.

OK! I've done it! @astralbulldragon13 I'm tagging you OBVIOUSLY for dragging me into making this and everyone else you said I should tag... So yeah...

Deciphering the DRDT Character Playlist

Hello DRDT community! @accirax and I took a look at the official character song playlist [remade version bc it got deleted or privated] and decided to take our own shot at figuring out whose is whose and what it means. It's pretty late, but we have at least some sort of a guess with reasoning for every song!

We used a combination of Genius lyrics, the vocaloid lyrics wiki, and google translation of Japanese lyrics in the YouTube description to get a decently functional interpretation of every song. Our theory goes through the songs in the order they show up on the playlist (we're pretty positive it isn't kill order), which means our confidence varies heavily from song to song. With that being said, let's go!

Diamond is Unbreakable by Yunno Kago: Ace Markey

This song does not have many lyrics, so a lot of our guess is based on vibes (though it gives much more than some other songs). The rock instrumental with more yell-based vocals feels like it suits Ace though, and I feel safe to say that Ace has had a breakdown (and may have many more in the future).

Sing Along by Sturgill Simpson: Teruko Tawaki

This song fits Teruko quite well. It has an edgier sound to it, but it isn't completely uncaring if you look at the lyrics.

I can't go on living alone now that you're gone You done me wrong, so here's your song

It reminds me of the scene where she plays with the cacti. She clearly misses Xander (and possibly others in her past), but that obviously doesn't stop her from feeling betrayed by them either.

There are a lot of lyrics about bitterness too (ex. "words can stab as deep as night," "bitter air and the winds of spite"), which reflect how Teruko has been treating the rest of the cast in Chapter 2. It's a duality of caring too much and acknowledging the harshness of the world, which encapsulates Teruko's character quite well.

RUNAWAY by half alive: Hu Jing

Not gonna lie, we were struggling on this one. This song is pretty much entirely predictive of a character arc that Hu might have later on. We're predicting this based on Hu's secret quote, which is basically the only reason we gave this song to her: "I want to pay for what I've done. But even then, I still want to live."

This implies that she has not paid for "what [she's] done," which probably relates to her secret. I know a lot of people think she might be the hopeless child, but I'm far more partial to the theory that Hu is the one who poisoned her competition. If she hasn't paid for it, it's possible she feels like she ran away, from the situation which could open the door for her handling those feelings later on.

cartoons by Louie Zong: Rose Lacroix

This entire song is about drawing and thought processes, which both relate to Rose's character pretty strongly. The recurring lyric of "it's all just cartoons in [her] head" makes me think of her photographic memory, which takes real life and permanently stores it in her mind.

There are also lyrics like "feeling every day the same" and "trying to make that old deadline" that strongly relate to her background with the Spurling Foundation. She feels like she's just watching the rest of her life go by as a corporate slave, and those feelings are wrapped up in a light and airy song, matching Rose's demeanor.

asymptotic by Louie Zong: Charles Cuevas

This is a silly little nerd love song. As a CharWhit shipper, I definitely think that there's a strong chance that this relates to Charles' feelings about Whit, calling him a "cutie face in x-y space" and other such things. It's pretty simple, but it's true that, romantic or not, a lot of Charles' character arc thus far has revolved around his relationship with Whit and realizing that he does enjoy spending time with his classmates.

However, notably, there's also the lyric "I'll forget," which made me start thinking about Charles' past he forgot about.

Asymptotic, obliquely Here's the point of this speech As close as we could ever get, you'll be just out of reach

This reads to me as being about Charles' memories or the older brother he doesn't remember losing. As close as he can get to remembering or understanding what happened through things like the secrets motive, it won't be the same as actually returning to that past or remembering it in full. Maybe that's reading into things a little too hard, but I think the interpretation is there to be read.

A Mistaken Belief of Love by Niru Kajitsu: Eden Tobisa

I'll be direct: this relates to our theories about how Eden is the Chapter 2 killer. I'm a particular proponent of the interpretation that Eden didn't believe Arei when she said she wanted to be friends and decided she wanted to escape back to her old life, to the girl she kissed. I'm not going to go into that Eden theory now, but @/1moreff-creator and @/thebadjoe have a great thread going back and forth which goes over a lot of what I personally believe to be true.

If you assume that Eden is the killer and wanted to be Arei's friend but gave up on the possibility when Arei snapped at her, the lyrics start to make sense. "Then I'll kill you at our rendezvous" would clearly relate to Eden summoning Arei to the playground just to kill her. "I just wanted to mistakenly believe that you loved me" relates to Eden's feelings towards Arei and the rest of the class, but that "mistaken belief" was shattered, causing her to kill.

Shunran by John/TOOBOE: Arei Nageishi

This song chronicles Arei's entire character arc, from prologue to death. It starts out much more aggressive and unfriendly, saying things like "I won't pay attention to small fry" and "I become angry easily." However, there's a recurring lyric that shows how she actually feels.

They say that praying to be loved is a sin. It has such a sweet scent.

Arei desperately wants to be loved, for people to be nice to her, but she's learned over the course of her life that she couldn't have that. Still, she can't help but want to be loved, so even when she knows that David is a manipulator, she still listens to his words. Even when she knows she's been awful to Eden, she swears she'll do anything to prove to Eden that she's serious, that she really does want to be her friend.

I pledged a ceasefire. My personality peeled off and fell because I have the courage to accept disappointment

As the song progresses, that desperate desire to be loved creeps its way into the actions the singer takes as well. Arei was willing to put aside her meanness she learned as a defense and try to stop the fighting, try to become friends, because she's strong enough to try even if she might fail. Through it all, all she wants is to be loved.

Yesman by Niru Kajitsu and Hachiya Nanashi: Nico Hakobyan

This song has a lot of lyrics relating to how the singer expresses scorn or insults. We know that this is a focal point of Nico's struggles with communication: they don't know what comes across as hostile or helpful.

However, as the song progresses, it gets more purposefully aggressive. There's a particular set of lines that seem to relate to how Nico interacts with Ace. They can tell Ace that they hate him, directly, and no one even blames them.

You could say that and you're still just a kid. How amazing!

This, in my mind, relates to Nico saying that they'll kill Ace (and clearly meaning it), but Hu still babies them. They can get away with all kinds of things.

There's no reason for me to turn back now, huh? I was caught in my own trap

Nico then, realizing that they can get away with a lot, goes after Ace, trying to literally kill him. They were caught, though, explaining the second lyric here.

The song also has a prominent lyric: "I'm an introvert, just waiting." There are variations on this, but I think it gets across the core idea: Nico is quiet, but they're still a part of the story the whole time, waiting for an opportunity to get their way.

Undead Enemy by Suzumu and Giga P: David Chiem

This song hinges around David's false persona of smiles and motivation and his true self who hates everything and everyone.

For whatever reason, he put on a mask symbolizing The leading role he had yearned for in the past.

Here, David is choosing to put on that motivational speaker persona.

And, from the next day onward, The unhappy boy's smile did not falter, He was even loved by someone

David then keeps up that happy and inspirational self, without fail, so that the world will love and accept him as the Ultimate they expect him to be.

However, the lyrics are filled with more hateful lines that sound more like him in Episode 11.

Slander and criticize, and then, I won't need anyone else. Just leave me alone

I act spitefully in disgust and force a smile

While he pretends to be happy and good, he knows himself to be much worse. This song focuses on those true colors.

Drawing Pins by Nothing but Thieves: Levi Fontana

Levi is a very pensive character. The main line of the song is "tell me what you did it for, 'cause I can't figure it out." That could relate to Levi's apparent struggles to understand others and what the "correct" thing to do in social situations is, like when he asks others how to handle the situation with Ace. I also like the interpretation that he could be talking to himself, wondering why he did what he did in the past. (Whatever mysterious past Levi has, it's clear that he did some things he's not thrilled about, and he seems to have a lot of feelings surrounding it.)

What do I have to do To be loved, loved by you

I'm personally not an AceVi shipper, but this line would definitely relate to Ace. Levi messed up in the first trial, threatening Ace, but in Chapter 2, he's trying to make up for it. Nothing he seems to do works, though, so he's at a loss as to what he could possibly do to make it up to him.

Hi-Fi Evolution Theory by Keu Studio: Veronika Grebenshchikova

Disclaimer, we had to put this song through google translate, so our lyrics might not be entirely correct.

Given that, though, I'm pretty confident this song must be Veronika's. There are a lot of lyrics that indicate her, but the most important ones surround what we've most recently learned about her: she can't stand boredom and will do just about anything for fun.

But is it selfish to have fun?

The one who laughs last is the winner

Even though Veronika knows that enjoying the killing game or possibly even working against the group's best interests in it is stupid at best and evil at worst, she'll still do it as long as it keeps her entertained. If she's selfish, she's selfish; she'll do it either way.

tip toes by half alive: Min Jeung

This song heavily ties into Min's outlook which she explains in her bonus episode. The lyrics mention a "need to be known," or a "pride" that's "screaming." She internalized a core need to become an Ultimate to keep her going forward and to preserve her hope.

She does want to change her behavior, though.

My future will listen to me, Listen to me, listen to me

Min is trying desperately to find a life for herself now that she's become an Ultimate. She wants to learn how to live after she's achieved the goal that her entire life has centered around. This song is her searching for the life that she wants to live in spite of her previous experience.

The song also sounds sort of desperate with its repetition of "listen to me" and the overall vibe of the instrumental. This fits in with Min's increasing desperation as she realizes, at the end of the first trial, that she won't have a future to figure out anymore.

Polygonal by fallstay (ふぁるすてぃ): Xander Matthews

This one was also put through google translate, so apologies for any mistranslations!

This song makes sense for Xander if you consider his clear survivor's guilt, visible through both his bonus episode and his secret quote, which is, in the most literal way possible, the dictionary definition of survivor's guilt. It mentions a "life full of mistakes" and describes other similar thoughts.

I'm dizzy and it hurts so much that I feel like throwing up

The urge to scream and someone's loud sobbing

That's my pain

These all feel like ways Xander interprets his past, which is his pain. We already know that Teruko accidentally running into him and hitting his eye hurt so badly he passed out, which is a step beyond "dizzy." Someone could be sobbing about his past; maybe it's even him. The things in his past that haunt him are what shape who he is and his actions, and that's what this song is about.

Spitfire (05 Version) by The Prodigy: J Rosales

This one has like one lyric. The vibes fit J though, and I don't really know who else's it would be or what other song would be hers, so it stays.

desk rotation by RQ laji-2: Arturo Giles

I'm not gonna lie. This is an instrumental. We have no idea what it means. This was process of elimination. I don't know what other song Arturo's would be so he gets this one.

(In all seriousness, you COULD give this one to Hu because it's music and she's a musician, give Arei the more hopeful RUNAWAY and give Arturo Shunran. The beginning of Shunran fits him decently, but I think the interpretation sort of falls apart in the middle of the song, at least given what I know about his character, and I think it fits Arei much better.

After we read some other theories, too, we think there's a viable shuffle that goes like this:

desk rotation: Hu (musical connection) tip toes: Arturo (generally prideful, future emphasis contrasting with his secret forcing him to think about the past) asymptotic: Min (abstracted to apply to the life she wants to seek out, math works as Ultimate Student) RUNAWAY: Charles (relating to him "running" from his past memories, positive growth arc)

While I still like our initial interpretations for Charles asymptotic and Min tip toes, I like the handling of RUNAWAY and desk rotation better with this one.)

For whatever it's worth, I also think there's a slight possibility that desk rotation is a placeholder song. It's a complete instrumental (all other songs have at least SOME lyrics), so it wouldn't be too insane to me if they had a song that they decided was just too spoiler-y to be released to the public. In that case, I think it's possible desk rotation will one day be replaced with a different song. Realistically, though, it's probably just here and we have to figure out what the hell it means.

Good Grief by Bastille: Whit Young

Whit obviously lost his mother at some point, who he clearly idolizes. You can see the glowing way he talks about her in the laundry room with Teruko and Charles, and his secret quote is literally "We tend to idolize the dead." He loves his mother, but given his secret, it's clear that she is dead.

This song is about grief. Whit represses a lot of his emotions, so I expect he hasn't yet felt his grief in full and hasn't processed it. He has, however, made it very clear that he struggles with loneliness, and that has a lot to do with his loss. I think that, over the course of the story, he's going to have to actually process grief and experience sadness. While it's possible that'll just be due to the feelings he has surrounding his mother, given that he's in a killing game, I think that he'll have to confront personal loss again to have this arc.

Regrettably, I think that that'll probably come in the form of Charles dying, likely as a Chapter 3 victim. Others have theorized on that, but suffice it to say that, narratively and based on hints they've dropped, I think it's probably true ( :( ). Whit, as he clearly cares about Charles, would then be confronted with grief again. He'd have to endure it and learn to deal with the loss.

On the plus side, I'd expect he'd be likely to survive afterwards.

A sight you shouldn't see (Law X reader)

Plot: You have to head back to your old school run by your aunt to help out with money issues. The heart pirates want to see your old school but you refuse. after being away for too long Law goes looking for you the crew demanding they come along. What they find is another side of you they have never seen before

Law X reader, reader is female (Sorry), established relationship. Got reminded of an old movie i used to watch over and over again, i love it so much, St. Trinian's. Listen to the playlist on youtube its awesome and i wrote this while listening to it.

Warning: Bad language, Crime, Blood, violence, seduction

Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4

Packing your bags was hard with the heart pirates asking to come with you every few minutes, it didn't matter how many times you said no and that men weren't aloud at the school they still asked. You refused to give them the name of the school since it was quite well known and not for good reasons. Finally, packed you headed out your shared room with Law and down the hall Bepo, Penguin and Shachi following behind you still try to convince you to let them come "That's enough" Laws voice echoed thru the Sub standing at the main door "Leave her alone. You're not going" The three signed their eyes shifting to the floor and muttering a sorry. "At least tell me where your going" Law asked as you walked over to him and placed a small kiss on his cheek. "I can't but if anything happens the address is in this." Handing your captain a sealed small latter which he gladly took "I'll be back in three days. Try to get some sleep while i'm gone" Your concerned about him and his bad sleeping habits, most nights you have to drag him away form his desk to sleep. Law scoffed at you looking away seeming embarrassed by your words. "Well i better get going". Opening the door your met with a cool breeze and a very large island with a bridge going over to another larger island. "Come back safe Y/N" The crew called as you stepped off the sub and onto dry land. You waved back at them a hand grabbing yours and pulling you forward lips crashing onto yours. Law wasn't big on PDA so it was rare for him to kiss you in public, you leaned in nonetheless running your fingers threw his hair and under his hat. He pulled away first locking eyes with you, he didn't need to say anything, he eyes told you everything you needed to know, he loved you and he wanted you to stay safe. Kissing the tip of his nose he took his hand off your wrist and watched you walk away the crew behind him shouting their good bye's.

You loved your crew, but they didn't know about the school you used to go to and the fact that miss Fritton, the head mistress was your aunt. Your parents found you too much to handle and sent you to the privet all girls school with a reputation for taking on the most troubled youth. You might think that a school like that would be strict trying to convert the violent and foul-mouthed girls but it was actually the opposite, Your aunt and the teachers wanted to enhance those skills, teaching you all how to fight, scam, lie and cheat your way thru life and that's why you didn't want any of your crew to know. St. Trinian's was known all over the globe mainly because some of the biggest scam artist and thief's come from that school. The heart pirates saw you as sweet and kind-hearted happy to lend a hand to any crew member for what ever reason. Of cause, you could fight and hold your own but you weren't the type to kill a man while he was down and had no weapons. You used your skills to help the crew with money, you did small scams now and again to rake in more Berries if you were running low but made sure the others didn't find out. The only thing they do know is to never play you in any card game, you always seem to win either by siking out your opponent or out right cheating without getting caught somehow. You've been chased out of casinos for winning too much and taking the money the crew helping you with the bags of Berries back to the ship.

3 days went by and you weren't back but the heart pirates did receive a letter stating you will be staying a few more days and you'll meet them at the next island. Law didn't like you being gone for so long and with no phone call only a letter, it made him wonder if you were ok. The crew were getting upset with the thought of leaving you behind and moving to the next place, their complaining voices sent the Captain over the edge yelling at them to shut up and let him think heading to his office to get his head straight. A few hours later he made a decision stating that he would head out tomorrow morning to the location in the letter, the letter didn't have the name of the school on it just the address and a phone number with a small note saying not to call the number since no one will answer. The crew of course argued back wanting to come with, the crew booing their captain making his anger boil over again but it ended up being Bepo who manged to convince the captain to let them all come with. Law hated yet loved the cute fluffy white bear and those big puppy dog eyes filled with tears made him unable to refuse hiding his blush and small smile under his hat.

The next morning the crew set off, the crew ended up pulling straws to see who had to stay behind with the sub, it ended up being Bart, Uni and one other crew member who stayed behind while the others walked behind their captain. Heading over the large bridge Shachi ran up next to the captain looking a little concerned "Urm captain, i didn't realize it until now but i think i know this place" Catching the captains and the crew's attention he carried on "There's only two big school in this place and one of them is St. Trinian's" He whispers the last part as if it was the worst word in the wold but a few of the other crew started laughing wiping tears form their eyes "Oh come on man" Penguin ran over pulling Shachi into a head lock "There's no way were heading to that school, Y/N too sweet for that place" he laughed as the man under his arm struggled to get free. "Knock it off both of you" Law glared at the two making Penguin let go the two walking behind him again. It was a long walk but they soon reached an over grown winding road spikes sticking out of the trees with strange skulls attached to it. A large sign on the open black metal gates reading Danger keep out in bright yellow letters and a carved stone plaque with the school name on it, St. Trinian's. "Are you sure this is the place, Captain?" Bepo asks looking over the mans shoulder to see the piece of paper in his hands, it was the right address, this is where you were and this is the school you used to go too. Law couldn't help but be shocked he's met a few girls form this school and all of them were nasty almost demon like in nature but you were nothing like that. Swallowing the lump in his throat he walked past the gates and down the road soon reaching a large castle like building, very clean and well maintained for a place with such a reputation. Making their way closer to the school Law heard your voice, it sounded so sweet a tone you have never used on him before and in a way it made him jealous. Slowly opening the cracked open door of the school revealed a strange sight, the front office didn't have much at all, on the left side of the room is a large wooden table with a lady sitting in the chair painting her nail, she doesn't even look up to notice the crew there just waves her hand in a way that says get lost. Tiled floor leading up to a wide stair case going up and behind the woman at the desk. At the far end of the room a suit of armor against the wall with painting that have clearly been graffitied over multiple years. On the right side is a ratty old couch and coffee table directly across form the desk with you and a man on it. Law froze seeing you loom over the stranger, the mans tie in your hands twirling it around your fingers to get a tighter grip on it, your foot on the mans thigh too close to the mans crotch for his liking, the skirt you were wearing riding up slightly on your thigh a state of shock and anger filled his body until you did the something he's never seen you do before.

You loved being back at your old school and seeing your aunt, it was also great to meet the new head girl, both of you became quite close over three days and worked together to come up with plans. Your aunts school has been suffering for a while and the booze they make and sell in the basement isn't enough to sustain the old building and its students. The Bank demanded money becoming more confident over time that they could take on the school with your Aunts growing age. She still had a temper though and with you around to fight for her she knew the school was in safe hands. Your aunt never married or had kids, there was only you and her but you were never interested in taking over the school, and she didn't want to stop you form doing whatever you wanted, she was also very proud of you, the first St. Trinian girl to become a famous pirate alongside a war lord but the world didn't know where you came form it didn't matter though, you're well-loved by most of the students and teachers for your accomplishments. You didn't mind having to stay a few more days, the money you made wasn't enough for the bank and someone was going to come round the next morning bringing some kind of letter. You requested a female do it since the girls her are more than happy to rip apart a man on sight or try and flirt with them.

The first class was in session and you were wondering the halls dressed in almost school uniform, a white blouse with rolled up sleeves and three top buttons undone, a black short skirt just touching the middle of your thighs and black see thru stockings that almost touched the hem of your skirt. Your black high heals taped on the solid tiled floor only being interrupted by a loud male voice from down stairs yelling about something. Making your way down the steps you leaned on the railing soon seeing a man in a suit clearly form the bank yelling at the young lady at the desk, Jenna was her name, she didn't care much about her job only doing the bare minimum, but she was good at not taking shit form people, popping her gum Jenna leaned back in her chair popping her feet up on the table and looking behind her, up at you looking down at her form the stairs "I'm sure she can help you instead" Jenna has some kind of sixth scene about her maybe she somehow knows Haki with being able to sense what's around her without even looking. You fake smile and walk down the stairs the mans eyes unable to leave your figure "Hi, i'm Y/N Miss Fritton's niece" You round the corner of the stairs holding out your hand for him to shake. It takes him a second to stop staring at you and take your hand "I'm sorry... i'm with the bank, i'm here to deliver this to Miss Fritton" The man reaches into his briefcase and pulling out a large envelope. You snatch it and open it while he watches your every move and your face turn form a flirty smile to an annoyed look. In large red letters printed on the paper it read "Foreclosure notice" you whispered the words as you read out loud "You're trying to close us down?" Your eyes shift to the man your look making him back up slightly.

Ripping the letter up and throwing it behind you onto the floor you push the man onto the sofa a think layer of dust floating into the air. He tried to get up but your heal goes to his thigh digging in as you bend over him grabbing his tie, your face now back it its sweet flirtatious smile "I'm sure Mr... sorry i didn't get your name" the man looks up at you with fear but also a bit of lust "K-Kent" he stutters unable to his eyes off yours "You know we have a rule here... no men on the property. You see anything can happen" you say in the sweetest voice you muster almost like soft caramel, Kent's breath quickens as you lean in to his ear "Things can get a little... messy, people get hurt " you pull away a almost evil smile threatening to appear on your face "I-i would never hurt you o-or one of your girls" Kent stutters watching you laugh lightly pulling on his tie a little "Oh i know sweetie... the rules not in place for our safety... it's for yours" On your last word you pull the tie as tight as it can go strangling him. he tries pushing you off but you keep your grip while your foot keeps his leg down heal digging in almost piercing the mans skin, he struggles to breath grasping at his neck and your hands trying to loosen the tie. "Shhhhh, its ok... just let this happen" you sooth keeping your voice sweet as his eyes looked at you in horror a evil like smile forming on your face.

"That's enough Y/N, don't kill the man" Your aunts voice calls out making it down the stairs and looking over at the door to see Law and his crew looking at you in shock "We have guests" she calls smiling at them, she's never met a war lord before and hopes it will be interesting. You take a few more seconds before letting go and stepping back watching the man fall onto the floor pulling his tie off and taking a deep breath trying not to pass out. Your eyes shift form the man to the door the smile fading form your face and heart stopping in your chest, Law your lover and most of the crew were there looking at you in shock. "Law?" you ask hoping you were just seeing things "Welcome." Your aunt says walking over to your side "Jenna be a dear and help Mr Kent into the other room" the girl at the desk blows on her fingers before walking over to the man and helping him up with her dry hand walking him thru to one of the back room. "Well, isn't this exciting, a War lord of all people at this place. Iv heard a lot about you and your crew. Please come, lets have a drink" Your aunt smiles wide hugging you form the side as she walks away with you down the hall and into her office.

Law and the crew couldn't believe what just happened, if it weren't for that woman you would have killed an unarmed and defenseless man something you have never done before. "C-Captain?" Penguin asks placing a hand on the man's shoulder gaining his attention as you left with the woman down the hall. Law didn't know what to do or how to feel. You shocked him but a part of him liked it, the way you dressed and how you dealt with the situation made his heart flutter a little. "What do we do?" Penguin asks after not getting an answer, Law sighs and looks away tilting his hat down "Come on" The captain commanded walking into the building and down the hall you went down into a large room with two big sofa's facing each other a desk with papers stacked high and a small bar in the corner. "Please sit" The lady form before gestured to the sofa across from the one she was sitting on, You walk over from the bar handing a glass of what looks like Whiskey and black ice to the lady holding another one in your hands.

Law walks over his crew following as he sits on the sofa, the crew looks around the room leaving Law, Bepo, Penguin, Shachi and Ikkaku the only other female on the crew to sit on the sofa, law in the middle one leg crosses over the other. You walk over to him and hold out the the glass in your hands to him refusing to look him in the eyes. He hates the look on your face, shame shouldn't be something you feel, your a pirate, hurting people and being a criminal is part of the job so why are you ashamed. He reaches up taking the glass in his hand letting his thumb run over your fingers prompting you to look at him. Law smiles up at you moving over a little patting the now free spot for you. You wanted to cry at that moment, even after seeing how cruel you can be he still wants you at his side. Sitting down next to him his other arm goes around your waist his hand resting on your hip as he pulls you closer to him. "So... it is true." Your aunt spoke up snapping your eyes away form Laws and to her "You two are together." she finished sipping on her drink. You look down at your lap smiling a little trying to stop a blush from forming on your face "So you know about us?" Laws asked his thumb rubbing your hip giving you some kind of comfort "Of course, My niece never stops talking about you lot" you blush harder giving her an angry look "Auntie" you yelled out the others looking at you before laughing "Man Y/N" Shachi laughs slapping you on the back lightly "You love us that much" he laughs your blush growing brighter as you turn to face him "Shut up Shachi" Law can't help but smile seeing you back to normal, well the normal he see's on the ship, a sweet and kind girl who is easily teased by his crew but you could never hate them.

"So what's going on here?" with the laughter dying down Law spoke looking across the room at your aunt "Well Y/N do you think they can help?" she asks looking at you trying to take your attention away form Shachi who your almost having an angry staring competition with. Giving up you turn to face your aunt then Law. He squeezes your hip leaning in a little closer a subtle way of telling you he's there for you "The schools been late on payments for years only now demanding payment since aunties getting older. I paid it in full yesterday but their still threatening to close us down" You explain the rest of the crew listening "The man from before came with a Foreclosure notice and..." you stop yourself form saying more only for Law to let out a small laugh, it shocked you a little wondering why he would be laughing at this "So you tried to kill him?" the blush came back to your face as he looks down at you "NO... i mean yes but.." You tried to say more but got cut off my Laws face getting closer to yours "That's my girl" he whispers your heart pounding in your chest at the look he gives you, it would scare others but you loved it, it made you want to kiss him right there and then but you know he doesn't like that kind of things, not in public anyway. "Im sure we can help right Captain" Penguin smiles looking at Law while the others cheer along hoping their Captain will agree "Im sure we can do something to help" Law answer pulling away form your face to look at your aunt who smiles back at you and the crew.

prompt: norrix + music videos hehe <3

Ooh, this is a good one! I've actually been wanting to write something based on "Gravity" since the song came out, so I think I'll use it here! Not sure if this is what you were expecting from this request but hopefully you enjoy it anyway!

Warning, this is a bit of an angstier one. If you're not yet ready to revisit Brazil and its aftermath, skip this one for now. :)

Why am I so dependent?

Lando laid in bed, his mind unable to shut off. It hadn't been quiet for days now. He was alone, surrounded by his own thoughts, unable to shut them off on his own. There was no one around to help him. He was on his own.

Stupid. I should be able to handle this on my own. I'm fine, he thought. Realistically, he knew he wasn't. He hadn't slept in . . . what time was it? Probably too long. But he couldn't get settled.

Not when hateful words kept ringing in his ears.

No matter how hard I try . . . it feels like I'm not getting better.

Nothing about the weekend had gone right. He was lucky he'd even got through it all in one piece. And then, of course, he'd managed to say the wrong thing in front of a camera yet again. Now the whole world was tearing him apart about it.

They would never tear him apart as much as he himself could. That was what they didn't know. He was his own worst enemy, and he knew it. But that didn't make it easy to break the cycle sometimes.

What if I could let go?

He rolled over, grabbing his phone. He knew better to open social media, at least. But he couldn't quiet his mind no matter what he tried to think about. Maybe he'd just scroll through YouTube until he finally got too exhausted to keep his eyes open.

He stared at the glaring bright light of his phone, and scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled . . . until finally, something made him stop.

He clicked on a video.

It was a song he'd heard countless times before, since it came out nearly a month ago. But tonight, right now, the music video coupled with it hit different somehow.

Someone falling. Drifting. Wandering. Lost and alone.

Until they finally saw a light.

What if I just break away from noises in the crowd?

When gravity's not around

The screen before him blurred as tears filled his eyes. He heard the lyrics, remembered listening to them for the first time, in a flat that had become almost a second home to him. Remembered how carefully they had been chosen by the man who loved. How personal they were to his own journey.

Closing YouTube, he finally went to his contacts and made a call. It shouldn't have taken this long for him to make it. He'd spiraled far already. But at least he was making the call before he fell any further.

"Lando?"

Lando nearly cried at the sound of Martijn's voice. He hadn't realized how much he'd missed it until now. Until the chords of his music had finally reached through the dark haze he was in and showed him a little bit of light.

"Liefje, what's wrong? Is everything okay?"

Lando held the phone like the connection would sever if he let it go. He closed his eyes and sniffled as his tears were finally released, and he whispered into the phone.

"I- I just . . . c-can you talk to me? Please? I-I need to hear you."

"Of course, schatje. Always. I'm here for you."

Lando curled up against the pillow and finally let his pain out, through tears and whispered words. He felt safe as Martijn spoke, his soft voice soothing him and comforting him. For the first time in days, he felt less like he was drowning under the weight of the world, and less like he was all alone.

What if there's a place where all my troubles can't be found?

There is. I know now. That place is with the people who care about me. It's with the people I love.

However dark everything seemed now . . . he knew, at the end of it, he would be okay.

🌟 Wish: A Disaster? The Worst Disney Movie EVER? Thoughts from a Magnifico Fan 🌟

After watching almost every YouTube review, I was finally able to watch Wish because they turned it on at my office. and do I think it's an absolutely horrible movie? Do I think Asha's the worst Disney heroine ever?

No and no.

Wish isn't a 'bad' movie and Asha isn't the worst Disney heroine ever. Both were just very badly handled.

I know this is a pro Magnifico blog but let me explain. Asha's not a bad character. She's actually very pretty and has a great VA. Her character 'development' was just like crayons scribbling all over paper.

She not only opens the movie happily providing commentary on Magnifico's system, but SINGS ABOUT IT, then demonizes THE SAME SYSTEM she celebrated just MINUTES BEFORE.

Fast forward to the interview. She and Magnifico share a beautiful, heartfelt talk about her father. It's short-lived and not followed up on. Magnifico confides in her about his wish, only for her to completely ignore him and be like 'ey, so like, grant my Saba's wish yo'.

Maui and Moana had a prettier friendship.

Then of course the whole 'hey, Magnifico, I just sang about your Wish system like FIVE MINUTES AGO but I hate you, you're a MEANIE'.

I'm pro Magnifico but you can hate him for all I care. I think you have to admit there's way more heart and substance in Bolt than there was in Wish. There's way more substance in WALL-E and the two main characters BARELY TALK 😭

Then there's Magnifico. I 100% agree with everyone that said his descent into evil happened so quickly, it was rushed and he felt like a completely different character. Amaya did very little to intervene on her husband's behalf. He pretty much went into a panic attack over Star's arrival and had absolutely NO ONE assure him everything was going to be a-okay.

Magnifico made several mentions as to how everything he did was to keep Rosas safe, and prevent the past from repeating itself. Asha even told him 'that's why I want to work with you' but then they fell out because ??? I don't know? PLOT?

The whole thing about Magnifico's spell being unbreakable was BS considering the entire Disney empire was built on the foundation of true love and friendship and blah blah blah.

The people of Rosas were perfectly content before Asha took down Magnifico's system. Her grandfather said so himself right before she sang 'This Wish'. Outside of Simon, there was zero indication of the people living in torment.

Gabo said something about Asha killing her family and I was like 'wut' 😭🤣

Valentino was just there. So was Amaya for the most part, especially in comparison to Disney heroines like Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Mulan, Elena of Avalor (from a tv show), etc

Asha at one point was like 'this is all my fault, I started this', which was correct, then later on said 'this is all Magnifico's fault'

Evil Magnifico got his magic powers but then just used them to poke people. Disney doesn't really do death often but if he was supposed to be like a classic Disney villain...I mean Gaston DID stab the Beast sooo...

Honestly, the two best characters were Magnifico and Dahlia.

Am I saying all of this because I'm a 'poor widdle Magnifico' simp? No. I'm 100% pro Magnifico but I'd have the same opinions even if I hated him. Or didn't care about him. You can fight me on any of this but

Wish isn't a bad movie. Asha's not a bad character.

Both were just badly handled.

"Eh, it wasn't that bad. You guys are just sensitive."

"Charlie you just have no empathy!" "She probably died as a lonely person..." "Almost everyone here died lonely???"

"I'm not dead yet,,," "Keyword; almost. No need to rub it in."

"That sounds quite an absurd title. Is it a movie?"

"I mean, it's more of a series." "Each video is basically just an animated music video!"

"Tsk, back in my days kids use to play outside for entertainment..." "Hayden couldn't go outside though! D:" "...I guess there are some exceptions."

"Music video? Is it like a musical movie but a series?"

"Not really to be honest, the whole videos is just about singing. But it's not like you should watch it anyway Hayden..."

"Hmph. Hayden's a big kid! I can handle anything!"

"Let's not get too overzealous here."

Mf be casually recommending a movie enthusiastically but when you watch it, it's the MOST heart wrenching THING EVER,,,

How to: Handling your dog on adventures

Traveling with our furry, canine companions can be rewarding for so many reasons. I find nothing more peaceful in life than sitting outside with my dog watching a sunset or a campfire together. I fully believe dogs enjoy that just as much as their people. And I find my walks and hikes are more centered when my dog can come along. She makes me look up from my feet, stop to examine something interesting while she investigates the smells, she will see movement from a lizard or a bird and call my attention so I don't miss it. There is no one I would rather experience the outdoors with more. But with this privilege comes responsibility. As I've outlined before, it can be enough just to keep yourself safe while camping, hiking, or traveling; keeping your dog safe adds another layer to the information and tools you should keep at the ready.

My number one rule for myself when traveling with my dog somewhere new is to research ahead of time where the nearest emergency veterinarian office is located. I find looking up this information online and screenshotting it the best option for me, so if I don't have cell signal or WiFi I still have the address, phone number, and email. If you're afraid of running out of battery, writing it down somewhere you will have access to it, like in your vehicle, is also a great idea. This has been useful when I was exploring a mountain range near Moab, Utah and my dog had a fishhook stuck in her leg. I had no service to call the vet, but I knew where it was, and I spent the entire 40 minute drive descending in altitude calling, hoping I would get through to them before our arrival. Once I reached the bottom and my cell signal came back, I got through and let them know I would be arriving with my dog about ten minutes later, which luckily wasn't an issue. I know if I did not have this information, I would have more than likely sent myself into a panic about it. Removing the hook was a five-minute process, cost me about $35 dollars (bless that office for not charging me an outrageous emergency fee), and everyone was calm and happy. The technicians there came to know my dog by sight and name, as that was an accident-prone summer for her. So just as important as knowing where the vet office is, make sure to treat the staff how you want them to treat your dog. You might have to see them more than once!

If you choose to camp or hike in areas where you won't have access to a veterinarian office within a couple hour drive, there may be some things you need to learn how to do, and be comfortable doing, on your own for less-emergent situations. I suggest at least learning doggy CPR on YouTube and also having Benadryl at the ready for allergic reactions. When in Georgia while on a walk, my dog Eva (the same one with the fishhook, yes) and I both were bitten by red fire ants. We both broke out into the worst hives of our lives! I couldn't even drive her to the vet because of my own reaction. Fortunately, my neighbor had enough Benadryl for both of us, and I did not have to spend any money on a vet visit for Eva. Ask your vet or research reputable pet health websites for dosing, write the dosage down for your pet's weight and keep it somewhere safe like their medical file, or posted on the fridge. It is also worth mentioning that having enough of any medication (and your dog food!) your dog might be prescribed is important, as well as keeping vaccine records on hand. I have called previous vet offices we used to fax information to new vet offices; however, the operating hours don't always match up, or you may be in a different time zone, or sometimes technology just fails. Keeping at least a copy of the rabies vaccine is important for access to certain locations, or for the need to visit random groomers for a nail trim. If I know I'm going to be taking a big, cross-country road trip, I make an appointment for a checkup before we head out, just to be sure my dog is in a good, healthy condition for travel and is up to date on everything. Along with carrying medications and documents, having some extra things in your own first-aid kit is a good idea. Think about what you could possibly use on your dog in case of emergencies, such as extra gauze, and stock up on that.

How to drive with your dog in a vehicle is a controversial topic. Someone is going to tell you that you're wrong, no matter how you do it. My main piece of advice it to try to follow state guidelines if you can. Some states can give you a citation for distracted driving if your dog is in your lap, but even if they can't, it's not a safe way to drive. Some states require a dog to be restrained. There are harnesses you can purchase that work like a seatbelt for your dog in the rear seat - the air bags in the front are not made for dogs. In other states, a crate in the back seat may be the way to go. If this is what you're going to do, choose a crate that is large enough for your friend to stand, turn around, and lie down in comfortably. Strapping the crate in is ideal in case of collision. If you are going to travel with your dog loose in the vehicle, keeping their heads and limbs inside to prevent injury is a must. Also, keep in mind the dog is not aware of what "distracted driving" is, it's your responsibility to not be inattentive to the road. I frown upon traveling with your dog in the bed of a truck if you're not on your own land/farm. Many states have legislation on dogs in the bed of a truck needing to be restrained. At the end of this post, I will include a link to a trustworthy website outlining state laws on the topic.

Depending what type of activities your dog will be participating in, and also where these activities will be, will determine what type of gear you may want or need. A six-foot leash is a must no matter what you're doing and where you are. As a dog walker, I'm not a fan of retractable leashes because they don't give you much control and they break easily. A sturdy six-foot leash gives you much more control and some reaction time in case you happen upon other dogs or wildlife. Hiking with your dog off-leash in territory you're not familiar with is a huge red flag for me in the outdoor community. More than likely the people you run into doing this don't even have a strong recall on their dog, unfortunately. Keep your dog safe from hazards by keeping them beside you. Choosing a collar or a harness is a personal choice based on your dog. Having a tag with at least your phone number is desirable. I also make sure my dogs are microchipped, and the microchip company has up to date information on my account. It doesn't help to have a microchip if you change your phone number, then don't update that on the account. If you have the money and want extra security, a GPS tracker on the collar could be an investment for you. When it comes to purchasing new things, I really take into consideration what I will or won't end up using now. I originally bought my dogs all-terrain booties before heading west, because I was concerned about the temperature of the ground when walking them. Those turned out to be something I never once used, as if the ground was too hot in the daytime, we weren't walking outside together. I quickly learned they had to be walked in the morning before the temperatures soared, and in the evening when the sun set. The same will go for a purchase like dog goggles, or "doggles." Are you really going to be in situations where you think your dog needs them, like sandy high winds? I don't find that enjoyable, so I know my dogs won't either, so I opt to keep them inside. Reflective collars/harnesses, or blinking lights to attach are fun and nice for camping in the dark. I also do keep a sweater in case of cooler temperatures, but it's rare I end up in places where my dog needs it. Dog backpacks may look cool, but dogs should be trained to use these and not just thrown on for the first time on a hike. Personally, I carry whatever I might need for my dog on my person, such as extra water, a collapsable water bowl, and waste bags. If your dog is coming along for water activities like canoeing or boating, consider a life jacket! Aside from function, there is nothing more adorable than a dog in a life jacket (especially if it has a shark fin).

Some hazards to consider when adventuring with your dog are encountering wildlife, extreme temperatures, dangerous terrain, and toxic plants. I try to choose where to bring my dog based on these factors. For example, black bear encounters are usually pretty tame, but having a reactive dog can aggravate those circumstances. The same could be said for Bighorn sheep. We have yet to run into either, but we did share a path with a coyote. Cara is fairly reactive with other dogs, so for a moment I panicked at what could happen if she started growling and barking at this guy, but I think she knew it wasn't a dog and she kept herself quiet, allowing the coyote to walk in a different direction and observe us curiously. Also, when I hike with my dog, I no longer am worrying about snakes, or scorpions, or ticks for just myself, but her as well. Arming yourself with the knowledge on what to do in these situations is your best defense. The six-foot leash also helps, so Fido isn't sticking their snout in random holes in the ground. Regarding extreme temps, when I would want to expose myself to a hike on a 100-degree day at noon with limited shade on the trail, I would leave the dog at home. Learning the dog signs of heat exhaustion/stroke, like red gums, vomiting, quickened heart rate, is vital. Cara can handle most terrain better than I can, but there have been moments where I decided to carry her for a short distance through something so as to prevent injury. I might have been overly cautious, but better safe than sorry. I like to keep our adventures joyous, not stressful. I have considered purchasing a wearable harness for myself, if there were ever a situation where I would have to carry her miles out of a hike because she was injured or sick, but I haven't committed to it yet, and we have survived so far. She's at the age where I don't take her for more than a 5-mile hike at most, so if anything happens, I guess worst case scenario is I have to carry her in my arms for some of that distance. At 40 pounds, I don't stress too much about the possibility. And last, when it comes to toxic plants and the like, this is another way that six-foot leash comes in handy, as well as some basic training. The "drop it" command is the first thing I believe someone should teach their dog, because it can be lifesaving. If you cannot identify mushrooms or bugs that can harm your dog, they should not have the opportunity to snatch those things up into their mouths. Cara is a natural water dog, so avoiding standing water like puddles is something I do stress about. She loves to dunk herself and drink whatever she finds. If you're familiar with toxic algae, leptospirosis, or giardia, you know this can be dangerous. It's best to only let your dog drink water you trust.

I am full time in a travel trailer, and I know there are others who choose to live full time in vans or other recreational vehicles. There is a world of technology now that helps us make things more comfortable for animal friends. In drivable vehicles, window and lock controllers can prevent your dog from opening/closing the windows and from unlocking the doors. Window shades are a must, so no one tries breaking into your vehicle to "save" your dog. Remote start can keep your vehicle running, while still locked, for a specified amount of time, if you need to leave the dog in there for whatever reason. And I have been doing this long enough now that I love having a WiFi-controlled temperature monitor and a camera set up so that if I leave my baby behind, I can see what she's doing (definitely napping or staring out the window) and I have peace of mind that if the internal temperature of the trailer starts to go up, I can head back to let her out. This has been a game changer for me so I don't always need to be plugged into electric at an RV park and can have more fun boondocking.

If leaving your friend behind is not going to be an option whatsoever on your adventure, keep a list of activities to enjoy together. If it's too hot for what you had planned, find a dog-friendly brewery or patio restaurant to hangout in. If you need a break from the outside, there are many stores like PetSmart, Petco, and Tractor Supply where you can have your well-behaved dogs. I was even able to take Cara to the PIMA Air and Space Museum, because they have signs in the parking lot inviting your dogs inside instead of leaving them in the vehicle. In the event your plans go completely awry, and you have the means, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind about what adventures your dog is built for, and you can find a doggy daycare for them to hangout in for a day, or you can hire a sitter from Rover that offers daycare or boarding out of their home. As a sitter for Rover myself, I have actually been asked to dog sit for folks who booked excursions they could not take their dogs on, and I was paid to hangout in a hotel room or a rented cabin or Airbnb with the dogs so they wouldn't be alone.

It may seem like a lot of information if these aren't things you have done before, but I promise it becomes second nature the more you do it. With dogs being the new children, the nation is really opening up quickly to the possibilities of where you can take your canine companions. I hope more people decide to try new things and adventure with their dogs (responsibly!). Your dog may not be your whole life, but you are your dog's whole life, and the more you can fit them in, the better a life your dog experiences!

Does Your State Require Dogs Be Harnessed in the Car? - Orvis News

It is time to finally get around to watching the Simone Giertz stained glass robot video,

and I am already much more optimistic about it than I was in the E+K one, Shes actually gotten into the craft and is doing this because it's two things she already likes. But Also. I am so jealous of her rn, that shop is Massive and Gorgeous. Like, I love the stained glass workbench, but if that place is a candy store, This one is willy Wonka's factory.

She's got a Proper grinder, and an aftermarket bit I'm legit jealous of, I need to get one of these things, it would make the little curves So much easier.

Her plan is to trace the chassis pieces of an already existent robot arm to re make it in glass. We haven't seen the arm in motion yet but I think that means these pieces shouldn't be taking any significant loads. They are going to be a lot heavier than the original pieces tho and the arm is one of those dinky toy ones so tbh, rn I suspect it's motor is going to be the week link in this. Ma'am knows what she's doing on both fronts and seems to be the only big name YouTuber to Actually give a shit about the craft instead of just using it for click bait.

I just really like the color grading in these shots. And also how good of a dog scraps is. Ive never met a dog I'd let anywhere near my sg stuff out of like, a concern for their safety but Scraps is being totally chill (It's ok to do most SG stuff around a dog so long as they're behaved and not likely to get up on the table. You do have to be careful about shard management and paw checks tho, Dogs are really good at getting Bits in-between their toes where they can hide and start causing infections. Cats groom themselves too much and might end up with shards in their mouths or throats if you let them in the room with you during cutting, most other common indoor pets are too sensitive to fumes for it to be safe for them to be in the room for any part of the process after the foil goes on. This is just an fyi)

So far the Big issue that's making this difficult is that she made the holes for the screws and such too small. She's doing the Tiffany method which means the screw holes are being made unpredictabily smaller by the copper foil and inconsistency in her soldering, This is not a skill issue and is kind just Part of things. She's going to have to melt off all of her pretty leading and pull off the tape to grind the holes bigger, effectively undoing a Decent number of hours of work and making more for herself. If your considering doing a similar project, hot tip, make the holes Massive, around the size of your screws Head, then fill them completely with solder while you do your leading, the lead is soft enough to drill through and tap with a standard hand drill like you would wood. I'd recommend a manual one over a motorized one just bc it'll stay cooler and stained glass doesn't like being vibrated that harshly.

after some adjustments to things it's most of the way put together and moving! And Yeah it looks Really Really Good. I'm kinda worried what that arm is going to do under load though, It looks like it might want to fold on itself and flex snap on the diagonal, or break the soldering away from the glass. Using thick c channel came around the edges would reinforce it pretty well if that's going to be the reason this video is called "making a robot out of stained glass was a stupid idea from the start"

It just got a wash, a base, and some patina. They put up a title card that said 'homestretch' Look at the progress bar.

Things have been going really well so far so I'm kinda worried about what could go wrong.

the mounts at the base of the arm where the pivot point is can't handle the stresses. Wrapping the outside edge of chassis pieces in came would let them flex without being able to pull away from each other. Bc the glass didn't break, the soldering gave out, came is applied in single long pieces that take some Doing to make fail like that since properly stretched came wants to flex and return to position before it wants to snap. that's why we use it in exterior windows instead of the Tiffany method.

She repaired the seam in the same way it was before glued the hardware in place, fixed up the base to make it match her expectations of it, and it failed again in the same way. This piece has a lot of play around it, obviously I don't know for certain if some c channel will 100% fix the problem, But. she does have the room to give it a shot without having to make any other alterations it looks like.

shes, very reasonably, gotten frustrated and decided to just replace the problem part with the metal piece from the original robot and it Does Seam Promising because everything else worked.

And it does!

she made tea with it. :]

Okay maybe I can finally write down some stuff...

today started out with me writing a comment under a Sleep Token reaction video that just disappeared. It depends on your settings for comments. Some of them get automatically sent to “under review”.

I was a bit confused anyway. I feel like YouTube hates me sometimes.

10 minutes later I see that the channel owner gave me a heart and also wrote me an answer. A very, very, very heart-felt answer. Made me weep right away.

The same thing just happened again two hours ago. Another channel and also not a reaction but a YouTube video. I see my comment but then 10 minutes later it's gone. That's different. Someone deleted it.

The problem is or..why I'm upset is because I wrote it under Kerry's channel (that spiritual teacher that I've been listening to so much for a year now). I know that the social media stuff says her name but there are other peeps handling her stuff. Meaning that maybe some asistant deleted it. I pay how much money?! I don't understand what I did wrong btw. It was a few lines and me just saying “Thank You” for something quite specific. Maybe that something specific was too much? And also I took my wrong account to write that. I follow her with a different account. You can sort through your comments and maybe someone just deletes the ones who are not subscribed or something like that?

I wrote her team a message....I pay how much?! Not going to say it btw.

And also...I have BPD and still like to push boundaries quite often. I would just like to know what I did wrong so I can change it. Sometimes you just don't see something that's right in front of you. It happens.

It's day zero.....you know what I mean. I could not “hold myself together”. I had horrible flashbacks today but I was able to face them. But later I felt myself slipping away meaning I started to dissociate. I felt nothing....it still does not even hurt. Not even angry at myself or something like that right now.....just nothing. Okay maybe angry at YouTube. I don't even like that platform but I do spend so much time on it. Not good. F*ck YouTube! Just like with Candy Crush that stupid online game....level 7000 something....I spent 10 years?! Not quite but almost 10 years playing that but suddenly I was able to let go of it. May YouTube be next! Pleaaase.

Okay...now taking deep breaths and also please now that I feel okay / safe.
