Coffee

Matthew Dickman

The only precious thing I own, this little espresso cup. And in it a dark roast all the way from Honduras, Guatemala, Ethiopia where coffee was born in the 9th century getting goat herders high, spinning like dervishes, the white blooms cresting out of the evergreen plant, Ethiopia where I almost lived for a moment but then the rebels surrounded the Capital so I stayed home. I stayed home and drank coffee and listened to the radio and heard how they were getting along. I would walk down Everett Street, near the hospital where my older brother was bound to his white bed like a human mast, where he was getting his mind right and learning not to hurt himself. I would walk by and be afraid and smell the beans being roasted inside the garage of an old warehouse. It smelled like burnt toast! It was everywhere in the trees. I couldn't bear to see him. I sometimes never knew him. Sometimes he would call. He wanted us to sit across from each other, some coffee between us, sober. Coffee can taste like grapefruit or caramel, like tobacco, strawberry, cinnamon, the oils being pushed out of the grounds and floating to the top of a French Press, the expensive kind I get in the mail, the mailman with a pound of Sumatra under his arm, ringing my doorbell, waking me up from a night when all I had was tea and watched a movie about the Queen of England when Spain was hot for all her castles and all their ships, carved out of fine Spanish trees, went up in flames while back home Spaniards were growing potatoes and coffee was making its careful way along a giant whip from Africa to Europe where cafes would become famous and people would eventually sit with their cappuccinos, the baristas talking about the new war, a cup of sugar on the table, a curled piece of lemon rind. A beret on someone's head, a scarf around their neck. A bomb in a suitcase left beneath a small table. Right now I'm sitting near a hospital where psychotropics are being carried down the hall in a pink cup, where someone is lying there and he doesn't know who he is. I'm listening to the couple next to me talk about their cars. I have no idea how I got here. The world stops at the window while I take my little spoon and slowly swirl the cream around the lip of the cup. Once, I had a brother who used to sit and drink his coffee black, smoke his cigarettes and be quiet for a moment before his brain turned its Armadas against him, wanting to burn down his cities and villages, before grief became his capital with its one loyal flag and his face, perhaps only his beautiful left eye, shimmed on the surface of his Americano like a dark star.

Celebrating König's Birthday

I was actually going to post this on my birthday so König and I could be twinsies, but no one needs to know when my birthday is, so I'm posting it early!

First off, congratulations on finding out when his birthday is. He refuses to tell anyone the date. As a kid, he was always ridiculed even more than usual, so he stopped celebrating it. The only people who know his birthday at this point are his parents, his higher ups and you, apparently. You probably pestered his parents about it since you wanted to get him something nice. However, he’ll be grumpy if you as much as acknowledge it’s his birthday on the correct date. While he tries to be nice towards you, he will be a little bit colder towards you for the duration of the day. Doesn’t matter how much he loves you, he doesn’t want to celebrate his birthday. You’d need to be especially persistent with him if you want him to sit down with a party hat and have him blow out the candles.

He knows he shouldn’t be like that with you since you only mean well and want him to have a nice day. If you “celebrate” his birthday enough years in a row, he might tolerate you bringing him some cake. But don’t you ever celebrate that godforsaken day outside of the comfort of your home or else you will lose that privilege. At some point, if you keep respecting his boundaries, he might look forward to it. Just some Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte with you, and maybe a new knife. However, he wouldn’t say no to some new boots every once in a while either. He wears his way too often, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they were worn. Year after year, he’ll grow less grumpy. But be prepared that he’ll wanna celebrate your birthday as well, especially if you don’t like your own birthday either. It’s his form of revenge. He’ll find you the biggest, most ridiculous gift he can find and give it to you on that day.

Though, as much as he looks forward to receiving a gift from you, he actually just prefers to spend time with you. Will indulge in a few Gösser and encourage you to drink some alcohol yourself. And yes, he will pressure you into at least taking a few sips. If you’re close enough, he’ll pull the “I’m the birthday boy, do as I say or you won’t be invited to my birthday party next year” card. Yes, he entirely ignores the fact that you’re the one celebrating his birthday. He has a sense of humor, he only celebrates his birthday when it’s convenient to him.

In the end, he’s actually kinda glad that he got to spend time with you like that. You put the effort into forcefully getting to know him better, he can appreciate that after a few years. When he can, he’d much prefer to just spend all day with you in bed, though. As nice as it is to get drunk until you can’t stand anymore, sometimes he just wants to take a nap after a grueling mission, holding you close as if you were a cat, ready to scratch him so he’d wake up.

sean finnerty honestly might be the most attractive character brennan has ever played......... and that's really saying something

Back by request with a new update on the whales, this time with this lad’s Final Ultimate Form!

The edging is done with size 11 glass seed beads. There’s two couched outlines and one picot edging. Needless to say, couching takes a very, very long time, lol 🐋

[redxriiot]

Okay but previous post is giving me Plot Thinkings, like:

*Kiri getting injured and a villain taking him in for a bit, either out of genuine kindness or to try and get a favor out of him bc he’d ’owe them one’ now. Which would work either way bc them helping him would already lead him to believe they CAN be good and start trusting them more and quite easily being taken advantage of as a result.

Or

*Kiri finding an injured villain and unwilling to just leave them be, he brings them somewhere safe to recuperate and ends up attached to them bc now they are cemented as “someone to protect” in his mind so it skews his thoughts/interactions with them into their favor from that point on.

Currently 2 episodes behind but still weighing in on the great 'is hayward hot now?' debate of 2023

[angelgendered]

When you're happily child free and never want kids snd the idea of being pregnant personally makes you want to vom but your specific rp thread with a pair of chars you LOVE goes the way of them having unplanned kids and you find yourself almsot crying bc the character you play loves his partner and his kids so much

[politesper-rip]

tbh might be worth adjusting my rules to say just how duplicate friendly i am. there is so much room for these characters to interact with themselves and it sounds like so much fun. is time travel involved? slipping in from a parallel world? clones? a mistake? evil dopplegangers? interfaces designed to look and act like them? like… the possibilities… imagine itsuki sitting down with himself and theorizing they’d never shut up.

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

/ these two.. 🥺

@chmydarling // 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 .

arvo can't help but worry about louis sometimes, a lot of the time, even--it must be hard, a lone sunflower in a field: trying to keep everyone's spirits up, not letting them see your own struggles... he wants the other boy to know he's there for him, too. friendship, it wasn't a one-way-street, after all! 💊‏‏‎

so, he gently takes louis' hand in his, the gesture a little awkward, as most things he did, but. he hoped it came as some sort of comfort anyway. 💊‏‏‎

" well, i'm glad, but... " a pause, a thoughtful one, he lightly adjusts his glasses with his free hand, " if you need anything, like... at all, you can tell me, right? " 💊‏‏‎

" ev-even if it's just. a joke, to cheer you up! i'm not as good at them as you, obviously, but i can certainly try! " he seems a bit embarrassed about being so forward, but he was quite determined, nonetheless. 💊‏‏‎
