“Darling…!” Carolyn exclaimed, walking through the hotel lobby, towards you.

The woman was wearing a dress that clung to her frame oh so elegantly. It made you double back and your eyes take up and down her figure a couple of times. You kissed each other’s cheeks, before having a quick hug.

Carolyn’s eyes also widened at your classy, brown suit. She always loved how fashion played a big part in your diplomacy.

“Carolyn…! It’s been too long!” You exclaimed through your smile.

“I know…” Carolyn sighed dramatically, “Thank you for meeting me at my hotel, love” she smiled.

You nodded.

“Of course. Shall we?”

Carolyn nodded, linking her arm to yours and leading you to the high status restaurant in the hotel. It was Paris after all.

A waiter showed you to the table, and you both took a seat and started glancing at the menu.

“So, how’s Paris treating you?” Carolyn asked.

You sighed and smiled, meeting the woman’s gaze through the sides of your menus.

“It’s good.” You chuckled.

At this, Carolyn smiled and nodded.

“Good.” She stated emphatically.

“How’s London…?” You asked.

You had now picked your food, and so you put your menu down.

“It’s…” Carolyn began, while scanning her menu at the same time.

She then sighed and placed her menu down as well, having decided.

“It’s chaotic. And very busy…” the older woman chuckled in confession.

You could see the stress on the woman’s face. Sympathetically, you placed your hand on Carolyn’s hand, squeezing it with reassurance.

“I’m sure you’re amazing, and that they are so extremely lucky to have you.” You reassured the woman.

The woman flipped her hand up and squeezed your hand back in return. She smiled in comfort.

“Thank you, Darling.” She hummed.

Dinner went by with ease, the two of you chatting and drinking away. Pretty soon, you had both finished your meals and were sipping away at your wine.

“So…” you breathed out, placing your glass down on the table for the moment, “What is it that you want, Carolyn…?”

Carolyn put on a shocked face of mock-offense.

“Why Darling…! Why would you ever assume that I want something from you??” She exclaimed dramatically.

You took up your glass and took a sip, amused by Carolyn’s little performance.

“Come on… You always wine and dine me before asking for something…” you teased the woman, wiggling your eyebrows suggestively.

Carolyn chuckled.

“Alright, you’ve caught me, Darling…” she hummed, raising her hands a little in surrender, then taking a dip of her own wine before telling you.

“I need access to the French crime database.” Carolyn admitted, “Specifically a file on one woman, who my team and I are tracking.”

The woman tilted her head at you, as you listened and processed her words.

“I see… And what do I get out of this…?” You asked, taking a sip of your wine.

“My undying gratitude” Carolyn teased with the a smirk, taking another sip of her wine.

You giggled at her words.

“Very funny…” You chuckled, rolling your eyes.

“Only teasing, Darling…” Carolyn chuckled with a wink, “We’d go by our usual terms...”

“Usual terms…?” You chuckled yourself, “Can’t bring yourself to say that your bribing me, Carolyn…?” You teased the woman.

Carolyn had been refilling her glass as you spoke, and she smirked at to your words. She then offered to refill your glass, but you shook your head.

“If we’re going by our usual terms, you shouldn’t have any more either…” you teased lightly.

“OhLove… You’re no fun…” Carolyn grumbled, taking a big sip from her glass.

“What was it that you called it once…?” You continued to tease Carolyn, “Ugandan discussions…?”

Carolyn was sipping more wine as you said the last two words, and she nearly choked on her own wine. She quickly put the glass down, grabbed a napkin, and sent you a very intense yet playful death stare.

You couldn’t help but giggle at Carolyn’s reaction, being very proud of yourself, for the reaction that you’d managed to pull from the older woman.

“So you’re agreeable…?” Carolyn asked.

“I would also like access to your investigation. My people might be interested…” you explained, nodding your head and setting your terms.

The woman nodded in agreement.

“I can do that.” She breathed out.

She then pulled out a key card, her dark gaze meeting your eyes. She set the key on the table.

“Room 307. I’ll pay and meet you up there…” Carolyn hummed, leaning back in her chair.

You took the key card with a smirk.

“Don’t bother, already took care of the bill.” You hummed, “We can head up together…”

“Together it is…” Carolyn hummed, nodding with a smirk.

The two of you then left the restaurant to the elevators, arms linked and walking in tandem.

i realize that ppl may not know but my sona and diddy are cousins! he is literally my baby cousin the baba of my heart 🥹 🐒🐒

[dangerliesbeforeyou]

ok so we're all in agreement that the way the show is handling trixie and matthew's storyline is complete shite right?

[viewpointb]

listen. harry brewis isn't exempt to criticism. however I think it's very ironic and telling how much people have been missing the very point of his video on plagiarism and turned his name on a new topic to exploit as of late. when i was trying to look up clips of harry's older videos this came up, and the contents were about the creator clearly being disapointed her line of work (drama youtube) was disregarded as sloppy and something with no effort put into it.

while I do understand her hurt, the thumbnail and title is inherently clickbaiting potential viewers, and her point comes off as a nitpick of a segment harry made out of his own frustration with content mills and how much situations on or between content creators can be so throughly exploited for "commentary" when people don't end up saying anything at all. I think that this is a prime example of the things harry deemed important to criticise. someone who clearly had a point to make about harry's video felt the need to make sure they could milk the shit out of it.

Favourite Resident Evil Characterizations Out of All Their Games [1/?]: Short Hair Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (2015)

[july-19th-club]

it's all fun and games getting letters from watson until you make it to the three gables . what's interesting to me though is not the question of 'did doyle write this one' - i think it's sort of a fan's cop-out to suggest that because this story is so casually racist, it *can't* have been written by doyle. i think it's more worthwhile to look at the number of years between 'the yellow face' (the titular face refers to a blank mask worn by a little girl) - a very sympathetic and respectful, for its day, story, and 'gables' - 'face' was published in 1893 and 'gables' was published 33 years later, in 1926. and this is well into doyle's weirder years, after he's been into spiritualism and wwi has happened and he's old and strange. some of his stories from these years are very fun, and others are...less so. even saying 'sometimes people change and get worse as they age' isn't really it, because there's ugly things in the earlier stories too, just to a lesser degree and without such an obvious degree of humor taken in them. those you might be able to describe as 'a product of their time', an unconscious bias that is not appropriate but also not meant with a serious degree of ill will beyond cultural bigotry. gables is so racist it almost feels out of character, but saying that also feels like an excuse in a way that doesn't sit right with me. so there is no excuse for gables. no grander conspiracy. no justifiable explanation. it's not just unfortunate and distasteful. it's a shame.

ROPE OF THE WEEK (1):

T W EVANS CORDAGE - STAR MANILA ROPE

FROM HOME TERMINA-L

(Real world equivalent to Home Depot)

WITH OVER 110 REVIEWS AND RATED AT 4.5 STARS

THIS ROPE IS BOTH BRAIDED AND TWISTED

THATS SO AMAZING!!!

THE MATERIAL OF THE ROPE IS MADE OF BOTH MANILA AND POLYPROPYLENE

I LOVE THAT IT’S MADE OF TWO MATERIALS THAT MAKES IT COOLER!!!

THE THICKNESS OF THE ROPE RANGE FROM 1/4 IN. TO 3/4 IN AND CAN BE AS LONG AS 100 FT!!!

THAT MEANS MORE ROPE TO HOLD!

BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD BY KING DEDEDE THAT I SHOULDN'T HOLD MANILA ROPES ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY’RE SCRATCHY

I’M STILL GOING TO HOLD MANILA ROPES BECAUSE THAT FACT IS FALSE! MOST MANILA ROPES ARE ABRASIVE RESISTANT

SO THAT MEANS KING DEDEDE HAS JUST BEEN BUYING SCRATCHY ROPES FALSELY ADVERTISED AS MANILA ROPES

IF I HAD TO GUESS JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, HE HAS BEEN BUYING STRAW ROPES

ISNT’T THIS ROPE JUST BEAUTIFUL?

WELL THAT’S BECAUSE IT WAS MADE FOR DECORATIVE AND LANDSCAPING PURPOSES!!!

I USE IT AS A WRAP FOR MY OUTDOOR FURNITURE AND FOR HANGING ROPES ON MY WALL BECAUSE I LOVE HOW THIS ROPE LOOKS!

I ALSO USE IT TO MAKE MY FENCES LOOK NICE

THE FENCES I USE TO KEEP OUT ANY ROBBERS WHO WANTS TO MESS WITH ME BY STEALING MY ROPES (DAROACH)

(+Some random waddle dees, Daroach only stole his rope one time btw, never again)

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE STEAL MY ROPE!!! IT MAKES ME FEEL SAD!!!

THIS ROPE IS ALSO VERY STURDY! HOLDING UP TO 300+ POUNDS!

THAT MEAN I CAN USE THIS ROPE TO HOLD 300+ POUNDS OF MORE ROPES

I RATE THIS ROPE A

10/10

Idk what it is that makes me fixate so hard on one specific thing for years at a time, but I need it to chill out 😭 DnDads has been my only long-term media interest for like 1 and 1/2 years now, and it’s BORING to only like one thing ever lol I’m BORED!!! I need other things to be interested in, but I struggle with getting into new stuff (other than video games) sooo bad :(

That said, if you have DnD podcast recs that have interesting characters……… GIMME 👀 Also where the early episodes aren’t a nightmare to listen to 🙏 I have never listened to any other DnD podcasts, and I think it’s mostly bc the earlier seasons are always poor audio quality or like 3 hours long 😭 I’m also good with any type of narrative podcast. I just want compelling characters and platonic/familial dynamics pls. Stuff I can write sad shit about!! But also not TOO sad the whole time… maybe a little bit silly idk

So far, ones I’ve written down to listen to are Cast Party and Friends at the Table? I don’t know anything about either of them, though so? Also I keep seeing my mutuals posting Oxventure and Woe.Begone (although the latter isn’t a DnD podcast.. I think?) sooooo let me know your thoughts. And recommendations! Send me your propaganda! Tell me about your blorbos

[jinstronaut]

doing this cc wrapped has made me realize just how many of my sets are between 100 - 200 notes. like that's my average notes per set (re: jin a day specifically)

[dangerliesbeforeyou]

very lgbtq for mae to win the latest series of taskmaster AND on the first day of pride month too lol!

[fecto-forgo]

ngl i think its for the best pibby got cancelled because something just tells me it would have gotten comically edgy at some point but all the reviewers forgive it despite shitting on things far "less edgy" because its like popular so its ok

[unproduciblesmackdown]

one in a million when i watch smthing in the horror genre and don't end up disappointed to/and/or pissed off about it so like "also yeah i liked it. ooo" is like relative to that an off the charts rave review of media of the millennium. also i did think about mh a lot along the way so would recommend its affect/effect if you like mh's horror too

[submissiveblender]

I should be asleep or studying for my last final, but instead I'm learning how to use AO3 and hot damn these tags are specfic

[minhyukie]
