Please serve us your best dilf toji headcanons I am begging

warnings: nsfw, exhibitionism, anal, alc n weed

────────────────────────

sfw -

will use little placeholder names for you but gets all flustered when you do it back. he’ll call you things like pretty girl, little girl, sweet girl, etc. but as soon as you start firing back he gets embarrassed

works construction so he exclusively likes to wear a simple black tee and baggy jeans. a lot of the pieces he owns have singe marks and paint stains because he can never remember to put his work clothes in the wash in time :( he likes the look of it though.

doesn’t care that he’s older, like at all. he has an almost sickening amount of confidence in himself and quite honestly loves having a pretty little sweetheart on his arm.

loves cheap beer. always has a couple 6 packs stacked in the garage, and will usually pull you into his lap when you come to bring him one. it happens so often that the two of you now have this inside joke where you bringing him a beer means you’re initiating sex.

little bit of a temper in public but is working on it. is no stranger to road rage or picking fights with other men in public places. he got the two of you banned from ihop after he called one of the managers a cunt 🫡

bad cook! just terrible. it’s literally comical how incapable he is of making the simplest meals. he lived almost exclusively off of takeout before he met you and is still adjusting to eating at home more.

likes to eat out of the pot with u :,) thinks it’s romantic and will use his spoon to feed u bites from time to time.

is the type of smoker to say “i’ll quit when i want to” (he’s not going to quit). he tried shifting over to weed to get the buzz he needs but it fucks with his head before work so he just went back to his cigarettes. prefers marlboro reds! will blow the smoke in your face just to make you mad.

let’s you cut his hair! he thinks you do a better job than a barber ever would. when he needs a trim he’ll touch-up his undercut with an electric razor and have you shorten his fringe for him. you think he looks so cute sitting at the kitchen table with a towel wrapped around his shoulders.

will do different things while he rubs your back just to see your little reactions. he’ll run his nails down your spine, trace shapes into your skin, and give you little pats just to see you melt off to sleep.

nsfw -

lives for a good blowjob, no matter the place. will ask to get sucked off in the living room, in the drivers seat, on his breaks when you visit him at work. literally no shame when it comes to having his dick in your mouth.

cums fast and cums a lot. pretty fast recovery time and can definitely go multiple rounds. his favorite place to finish is on your face and lower stomach 🫶

wants to do anal but doesn’t really know how to go about bringing it up. the idea first piqued his interest after a friend told him about him and his wife trying it. he’s definitely curious about how tight you’d be around him, and would love to see your little gape :( he’s a sick man

definitely an ass man! lots to do with it, it’s natural that it’d be a favorite of his. loves how easy marks take on the skin there and is likely to leave a couple hickeys while ur doing it.

favorite position is doggy. boring ik :( but it’s a classic to him! he feels most comfortable gripping onto the fat just above your hips and pulling you back into his cock. he’ll either have you face down with a hand to the back of your neck, or use your shoulder as leverage to keep you upright while he pounds into you.

might have a genuine exhibition kink. you cannot visit the airport without going at least a round in the single stall bathroom. if the two of you can find a room with a lock, he’s gonna ask to fuck in it. that’s just how it is and there’s no changing him. had his way with you once in the gym showers, you still don’t know how he successfully snuck you in and out of there.

big on both degradation and praise, he knows how to balance them out well, following every “fucking slut” up with a equally devastating “but you take cock like a champ no?

big dick 🫡 need i elaborate. he likes to press down on your tummy while he fucks you to try and see where his tip is, he thinks it’s fucking hilarious.

Hey guess what it's time to talk more about Stray Gods.

Specifically about the concept of "reactive narrative" in video games and how I think Stray Gods executes it as gracefully as you can possibly execute on the concept.

I think a lot of people balk at how choice-based games do and can only change in a limited way based on your choices. Which is a shame, because only being able to change in limited ways is a hard rule of both hardware and the concept of a story.

I think the games that handle it best are the games that lean into that fact. They should flesh out those limited choices as much as possible rather than try to stretch them to their breaking point. They should accept the reality that there WILL be fixed points in the narrative and build around them.

Example - Pan will always turn up in your apartment early on in the game and lead you into the "tutorial" song that is "I Can Teach You". But, based on your choices, the song can sound entirely different.

youtube

And that's if you stick to one color exclusively over another. You can weave the choices in and out to create dozens of unique instances.

The choices you make do not fundamentally change anything beyond the song, excluding the last choice. But those choices set the tone for what kind of story you are going to tell. Is it a story of how Grace, even when granted the powers of a god, still values her humanity and cherishes her human bonds? Or is it a story of how Grace, who begins by feeling adrift and out of place, immediately chases down any chance she has at belonging somewhere, at having a purpose? Is Pan a mentor or a source of suspicion? How big of a part does Freddie play?

Your thought processes behind making a choice, your reasons for choosing red over blue, do make a story unique as much as your choice to let Aphrodite "live" or "die". I think you have to accept that if you really want to get a lot out of these kinds of games.

Some scenes WILL always happen, and that's okay! That's good, even! Because differences in the journey matter just as much as differences in the destination! You might always wind up in the same place, but you will have told a different story in getting there. You'll be in a different headspace, you'll bring different baggage, you'll have had some different conversations which drive you to feel differently about characters along the way.

Freddie does always die, yes, but if you've spent the entire game flirting with her, expressing affection and admiration for her, traveling to find her in the Underworld leans so heavily into the Orpheus and Eurydice parallels. Orpheus becomes a dark mirror of Grace as much as Persephone.

Do you retrieve a Freddie that you love from the Underworld because of that love, or do you retrieve a friend as much out of spite, as if to prove that you can succeed where Orpheus failed? Is godhood worth her friendship? Is godhood worth her love? Are you making a sacrifice at all, or are you glad to be rid of these powers that you never asked for? Freddie returns either way, but your motivations have changed the story.

I'm getting a bit lost in the weeds here, but hopefully people get what I'm going for. The fact that, ultimately, Grace is going to wind up on trial against Athena, with the primary differences being whether or not Freddie is there driving the song, or whether it's Aphrodite in one body standing there vs. another, doesn't invalidate the choices and the uniqueness of the journey to get there.

And I cannot stress enough that the potential variation in any given song is so impressive. I'm genuinely kind of bummed that there's no way to listen to some of the versions I made, that I feel like really added to the story I was trying to tell.

And, most importantly, I think Stray Gods understood that this kind of variances gets infinitely more complicated and precarious the longer a game goes. 6 to 8 hours is almost certainly your upper limit possible. Anything much beyond that, and the variations you have to account for spin out into something approaching infinity. And, yes, they do and can get much less meaningful as a result.

IDK! I like this game a lot. I think it did some really cool and inspired things in really cool and inspired ways. And I think its understanding of how to use player choice within the narrative and hardware constraints of a video game is one of those things.

Wikipedia 2

Coming this year in the summer, we are proud to announce Wikipedia 2

Features

20% more Polish

We will do this by effectively replacing 3% of text in all languages with Polish.

2.4x Larger

That's right. We're aiming for 3x by December next year in addition to this metric.

Communist, Libertarian, and French language propoganda addendums

This one should be pretty self explanitory.

Fake/fictional places

We'll give you directions to fake and fictional places.

Errors may occur for ones that violate SOL on scales >2lightyears or <32 planck units. We are working tirelessly to get the scale from at most 4 planck units to at least 23 lightdecades.

North Korea

We figured out the logistics. A 3% reduced version will be released in North Korea

No Russian

We turned the Russian into Polish

It's new so it's good.

Find friends!

Everyone's cursor is shown on the page! Labeled or unlabled, transparency options, it's incredible!

WIBTA for confronting my boyfriend about his smoking habits?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a month now. When we got together, he was smoking weed to relax and help him sleep with the occasional vape hit at work. Neither an issue with me.

In June, however, he got a job working for the railroad, so of course, state mandated random drug tests and no more weed. I told him right away that if smoking became a serious issue for him that I wouldn't be able to stay. My father smoked in the house, and it took 7 years to be rid of the stench and stains, not to mention the second-hand smoke issues, so I won't have another serious smoker in my life.

For a little while, he was almost exclusively vaping with a dip pouch at work, but then he went from vaping to cigarettes. Now he is smoking cigarellos/small cigars (not familiar with the terminology) frequently.

I'm not with him all the time, so I'm not certain how exactly frequently he's smoking, but recently, during our anniversary, he smoked 4 full cigarellos/small cigars during our day out 8-ish hours we were together), which to me seems like too many. Especially given that he bought 6 more at the gas station right before he got home.

I deeply love and care for this man, and I want to be with him. I don't want this habit to cause health issues for both of us, given that he already has a genetic heart issue to worry about, but I understand how hard it is to quit smoking.

From my perspective, the habit is getting out of hand, and I want to talk to him about maybe trying nicotine patches/gum/slowly cutting back (maybe to the point of quitting). He went cold turkey on his own at one point but only made it a week, and he even said he had done it for me. I'm just worried I'll be out of line and selfish if I confront him.

What are these acronyms?

TRUTH: What's something you had planned for your legacy but it turned out completely different?

Oooooh, you’ve opened a can of worms now! 🐛

The short answer is: The rest of the legacy.

Originally, I had 12 generations mapped out, but I got tired of rushing through each one, so I have now decided that we’re staying with Julia for a long time and then she will be the last heir. I wanted to take my time and really flesh out her story and try new things with my storytelling instead of sticking to my usual 10 short chapters per generation.

Here is an 🌟 exclusive 🌟 original look at what was supposed to happen. If you read my story back when it was on Wordpress, there was a bit more emphasis on the vampires, but I’ve since toned this down when I started reposting everything to Tumblr because none of this will be happening now.

Very long post under the cut:

🦙 Generation 5 is Julia, and she was supposed to have a single child, a son named Marcus. What actually happens in Julia’s life remains to be seen as I have completely rewritten her entire story.

🎤 Generation 6: Marcus wants to become a stand-up comedian but he’s not actually very good at it. He’s a bit of a hippie and finally decides to just move to the woods and start a commune. He has a daughter. He grows his own weed, but ends up infected by a weird, purple plant that starts growing in his fields. He becomes more and more strange until he is tragically killed by Lilith Vatore, who herself dies after biting him.

🦇 Generation 7: Marcus daughter, Nadia, grows up with her grandparents after witnessing her father’s death. She doesn’t remember how he died but is plagued by nightmares about vampires and becomes obsessed with them. As an adult, she becomes an author of steamy vampire romance novels, writing under a pseudonym. She ends up coming into contact with Vlad and her childhood trauma is triggered by meeting Caleb again. She later works with Caleb and Vlad in their attempt to solve the mystery of why Lilith died from biting her father and they discover the purple plants. She falls in love with Vlad and they have twins, Oliver and Paulina.

🍳 Generation 8: Oliver, born a vampire, dreams of becoming a chef and eat real food. Against his father’s will, he takes the vampire cure, but he struggles to deal with his new mortality and aging. He meets a younger woman but reject her in favour of his career, feeling that he doesn’t have enough time for both. She marries someone else and he becomes a celebrity chef, but realises that it’s all meaningless without love and goes to win her back. They have a son, Quinn, but Oliver is getting old and dies when Quinn is only 21.

🌴 Generation 9: Quinn is distraught after losing his father and wants to make sure he gets as much out of life as possible. He decides to travel the world and eventually ends up in Selvadorada where he meets the grumpy tour guide, Isadora, who hates his spoiled ass at first. They get lost in the jungle and discover a strange purple plant, but wisely keep their distance. They eventually find their way home but Quinn has fallen in love with Selvadorada (and Isadora) and decides to stay and work in her father’s museum. He and Isadora have 3 kids.

🚓 Generation 10: Their youngest son, Tulio, decides to become a cop. After making a big mistake, he gets reassigned to the sleepy and boring Henford as punishment. However, Henford has become a lot less boring lately, and Tulio and his partner investigate some strange things happening, finally discovering some underground ruins which contain a huge purple plant that seems to affect the minds of the locals. Tulio decides that this seems supernatural and calls in backup from his great-grandfather Vlad, and they get another piece of the puzzle of the purple plants.

⭐️ Generation 11: Tulio’s daughter, Vanessa, decides to become a famous actress but she secretly longs for eternal youth and beauty and is jealous of her vampiric ancestors. She tries to talk Vlad into letting her become a vampire, but he says no, so she instead tries to seduce and convince Caleb. Shenanigans ensue, including Vanessa murdering her husband, the father of her child, for being a bit of a dick.

🌺 Generation 12: Vanessa’s daughter Xena decides to find the truth behind the Duchelli family’s strange past. She ends up in Strangerville and finally solves the Mother Plant mystery, discovering a convoluted plot involving aliens that goes all the way back to her ancestor Eric’s brother, Daniel, the half-alien from Generation 2.

The End.

If you read this far, well done! I’m impressed. Have a cookie 🍪 and a picture of Vlad. He will make his way into another story instead, and so will many other ideas from my original draft.

It's KY, popping in to say hi <3

Haha the 'who is KY??' ask was so funny. It's me, anon! Hello!! I wanted to drop in and share a little tidbit on what I think about KM's families, how they feel about their relationship/them being queer. I do think that their families are fully aware of their sexuality and them being together, it's impossible for them to not know after 6-7 years of dating.

I believe JM's parents might have already suspected that he was queer from when he expressed interest in modern dance. His parents supported him in his dream in becoming a singer when they wanted him to do law instead, which is quite rare for Korean parents of that generation. They seem like very open-minded people (thinking back to when JM said he wanted to have his dad try putting on makeup - you wouldn't say that if your dad was frigid and conservative). He has such a good relationship with his parents (thinking about the phone calls where JM tells his father 'I love you' which is...wow...I honestly don't know another Korean who tells their father 'I love you' like that) + DdeunDdeun show where he talked about how he rarely fights with his mother because they're so similar. I'm inclined to believe that they would love and support him no matter what.

JK's family seems just as supportive. Well, a known example is JK saying his mom cooked seaweed soup for him to celebrate JM's birthday! (I have my own suspicions that the Jeon and Park families were together, but that's unsubstantiated. Either way, if JK was at his own house with his own family and his mom prepared seaweed soup, that would be even weirder than them being together lol - I talked about this before.) Also, JK's brother and father dropped them off at the airport when they took their Tokyo trip. That's very telling. I think they already knew (and were supportive) that JM and JK were dating/seeing each other exclusively and seriously. And JK's mom adores JM! (Jimin-ah saranghae!) And which mom wouldn't love JM, honestly.

I think their families know each other well, like each other, and are supportive of their sons. Which is frankly adorable. I'm so happy that they were both blessed with such wonderful parents.

P.S. I wonder what JM did in London?

Till next time,

Always good to see you my lovely. Welcome back 💜

I touched on Jikook with family here. Loved the Bam part so much. Dogs don't lie 😁😁

I too, think the story about the sea weed was embellished. I think Jikook were together when JK's mom made the soup. But guess we'll never know for sure.

Still don't make Jikook any less real! Thanks for dropping in KY. See u soon 😘

(Guys, remember to leave your questions in the comments)

Head empty just Roy and jason being submissive while high with reader ehueheuhe

(Ignore this if you want)

definitely more of this prompt to come in the next chapter!

romance and return policies

next: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] || ao3

𓅪 Rated: M | TW: weed | 1.7k includes: alternate universe no powers, modern au, eventual polyamory, eventual relationships, eventual smut, gamestop au

𓅪 established roy harper x koriand'r eventual: jason todd x reader, Roy Harper x reader, koriand'r x reader endgame: Jason Todd x reader x Roy Harper x koriand'r

It's not your fault you always want the latest games, exclusives and merch for the fandoms you're in.

In your old town, certain GameStop’s had even banned you from trading due to how much you were in there, something you’d never understand. Other stores sneered at you for always buying up the good shit before the employees even had the chance to stake their claim on it.

Since moving nearly across the country, the new GameStop you’ve started going to definitely seems to be the most chill of the bunch.

It's a small, podunk town in Arizona, which means you never have to beat the lines like you had to in the hustle and bustle of the East Coast cities. The town's big enough to stay somewhat anonymous but small enough that if you visit a place once a week, by week three, everyone will know your social security number.

Needless to say, the GameStop workers know your car by now, as evidenced by the way Roy sees you pull in and attempts to snuff out whatever he’s been smoking.

You don't normally use their back parking lot, but the DMV next door is extra packed today and spilled over into the shared lot. You figure he’s been smoking a cigarette until you step out of your car and smell it.

“I’m telling,” Is all you say. He flips you off easily.

Roy had always been overly welcoming and easy to joke with right off the bat, something you appreciated since you knew no one here.

“At this point, you may as well fucking work here. Your word would mean more than mine,” You laugh and make gimmie hands, which he goes to oblige easily, then stops. He regards you silently for a moment before looking around, then up at the security camera that he was just out of view of before finally holding out the joint to you. Fucking paranoid stoners, you can barely contain your eye roll. “Didn’t take you for the smoking type, darlin’.”

“Considering you don’t know me, that seems about right,” He laughs easily at your prickly humor as you sidle up to him in the blindspot of the camera, blushing slightly when your fingers accidentally brush in the hand-off. “My ex was a huge stoner kinda formed a habit that I can’t even maintain.”

“Money?” He winces only after the question comes out, seeming only then to realize it’s a bit of an invasive question for the circumstances.

You’ve been coming to this GameStop at least twice a week, though almost always more, for the past few months since you moved to AZ. Whether it be to browse or trade- Roy, a redhead named Star and some brooding dick with a grey streak always seemed to be there (you’ve never seen him wear a name tag, but he seems to be the manager). Regardless, your relationship hardly seemed to go past customer service ever. That is, until now.

Roy doesn’t seem like the type to have a filter, so you know he means no offense. You can’t lie, though; seeing him all flustered is doing certain things to you.

You snap yourself from your thoughts.

Roy has always been extra touchy-feely with the beautiful red-headed employee who always offers you kind smiles and excited opinions on your choices. However, she has a special affinity for plushies and always seems to push more on you. At this point, you could run a shelter for plushies with the way their cute dead eyes watched you from the growing pile on your bed.

Who are you to tell this seven-foot-tall goddess no?

“No,” You chuckle lightly as you inhale. “I never learned how to roll.”

It's a lie.

A total, complete lie, but you know one thing: men love to think they're teaching you something. Plus, if it means someone will roll you free weed, who are you to turn it down?

“Oh, babe. I’ve got you,” Roy’s silky voice stirs arousal within you as he pulls out the decrepit remains of a smartphone. Android or Apple, it’s too far gone to tell, but the screen still brightens when he bangs on the home button, so it couldn’t technically be considered completely trashed…

“Won’t your girlfriend be mad?” You ask, looking hesitantly at the sharded screen he was pushing your way.

“Kori?” Roy gestures to the store behind the two of you before waving off your concern. “Nah, she’s chill.”

Kori, huh? She always wears a name tag that says Star, but you should’ve known it's just a nickname.

With all the basement creeps that come in and try to hit on you while you're here, you can’t imagine Kori’s position. Hell, you didn’t want to wear your name tag at the diner half the time if it wasn’t for Pam forcing you to ‘play nice.’

You raise a dubious brow, “I think you misunderstand my question: is Kori single?”

He snorts easily, eyes crinkling around the scattered freckles on his face. “Fucking figures that I’d finally get your number and you’re more concerned with the redhead inside.”

“Finally get it?” The deep voice startles you as the ‘Employee Only’ door whips open to reveal skunkhead.

“Get what?” You ask with a tiny tilt of your head.

Name-tagless dude gestures down to Roy’s cracked screen, “We had a bet going on.”

“Yeah, man. I got the number, but she wants the other babe,” Sexy brooding skunk, fuck- you have to learn his actual name, laughs. “Also, stop spying on me during my break, fucking weirdo.”

“I’m your boss,” He grabs the joint from your fingers and takes a long drag. Your eyes remain wide while his close into green slits, taking you in with the smoke, closing his eyes with the exhale. “How else would I know you’re corrupting our best customer?”

“Corrupting!” Roy exclaims, gesturing to you as his eyes rip open. You immediately hold your hands up in surrender. “She came up to me! You know how the ladies get with this hair, Jay.”

Your face wrinkles in obvious disgust, “Is it too late to delete my contact?”

Roy huffs and yanks the blunt from ‘Jay’ and shoos him, “Jay, you’re ruining my shot, man.”

“Yeah, me,” Jay rolls his eyes and motions you in before retreating back inside. “What do you want?”

This time, you don’t contain your eye roll as you attempt to catch up to his quick pace. “What happened to the monotonous ‘Welcome to GameStop’ I used to get?”

“You’ve got half of my employees stockpiling the good shit for you. That’s what happened,” He glances at you over his shoulder, his usual emotionless eyes glinting with the slightest bit of amusement.

You don’t bother with a response as you follow him out of the elusive break room you’d seen them disappear to in the past.

“Not my fault you only have like four employees,” You shrug with a faux-innocence he sees right through. You’re cute, though, so he’ll let it slide.

“I have three employees and all of them would probably return this overdue shit for you without question,” He gives you an unimpressed look as he underlines the ‘return by’ date on your receipt and flips it around for you to see. “Two days, a bit irresponsible, no?” He exhales dramatically as he clicks obnoxiously around on the computer on the counter before shaking his head. “Don’t know if we can help even a loyal customer such as yourself in an incident like this.”

You don’t know Jay well enough to know if he’s joking or not, but before you can even respond, the bell chimes and welcomes in one of the other usual customers.

“You always come in on Tuesdays,” The man winks at you and starts toward the counter, but Jason shakes his head and points toward the door. “What? I didn’t do anything this time!”

“Buddy, we’ve already talked about you scaring off my customers.”

“Three strikes doesn’t apply?” He disappears off between the shelves before coming toward the counter again with a box in hand. Once he’s back in sight, your eyes drop to the counter in front of you, wishing he would just leave you alone.

“Pretty sure you’re at your limit and,” He cuts off the man before he can interrupt. “I’m not going to argue with you about my own strike system, so kindly fuck off.” There’s nothing kind about the dark timber of Jay’s voice. The other man seems to think better of questioning the manager who makes the GameStop uniform look like a stripper outfit through his muscles alone.

“Just came here to get this, man,” He drops the box on the counter and you recognize it as the new, limited edition final season statue worth over $400.

Jason seems to realize this, too and looks to you with a silent apology before quickly checking the man out and personally escorting him to the door after.

“Just because you’re a big spender doesn’t mean you won’t be banned if you don’t start treating her, let alone any other woman, with some fucking respect,” The look he gives the man is enough to send him scurrying out without so much as a glance back at you.

“Thanks,” You say quietly in the wake of silence that follows the door’s bell. The tinkling noise echoes around in your ears.

“Don’t thank me for shit like that,” His tone leaves no room for negotiation. You say nothing else as he processes the late return without question.

As soon as he hands you your receipt, Jay walks you out to your car, holding the door open for you, all while making sure the man hasn’t lingered in the parking lot or anything. Luckily, it seems like Jay’s warning has sufficiently warded the creep off. He makes sure you’re completely in your car before shutting your door, then watches you peel out of the lot until your car is a mere fleck in his vision.

A/N: this was a spur of the moment fic i really had a craving for a gamestop au after i was forced to go in there to return some shit and was like o... i know what i need to do now, hence ^

let me know what you think and check out my pinned for my other content!

[ SUBJECT INTERVIEW: SUNNY ]

[NICKNAME:]

Sunny: I guess technically Sunny was a nickname before it became official, but I've also been called Sunshine, Sunbeam, Ray of Sunshine… you can probably see the pattern. Interviewer: And what is your real name? Sunny: Sunny is my real name. Just because it might not be the first name I had doesn't mean it's not my real name.

[GENDER:]

None for me, thanks.

[STAR SIGN:]

Misty says I’m an Aquarius. I guess I never really put much thought into any of that, but she really enjoys it so that makes it fun for me too.

[HEIGHT:]

5’ 9”, but some of my boots make me a little taller. No platforms or anything though, I wouldn't be able to walk to save my life.

[ORIENTATION:]

Only interested in men, but I guess I don't really try to define myself often. Just queer in general is probably the best term I suppose.

[NATIONALITY / ETHNICITY:]

That's another one I never really think too much about. A lot of people tend to think my family are Nomads, but we’ve been here since before Night City was Night City. My… (counts on fingers) great-great-great grandparents actually bought our property back when California was still one state, so we’re about as local as you get. Before that I think someone came from New York and before that I don’t really know, all over Europe I think.

[FAVE FRUIT:]

Strawberries, not like synthetic ones or those over priced cloned ones, real strawberries. We managed to get a little section of them growing at home and nothing can compare.

[FAVE SEASON:]

Probably spring. I love getting to watch everything sprout and bloom, even out in the desert.

[FAVE FLOWER:]

Sunny: People usually expect me to say something cliche like sunflowers, but I genuinely love dandelions. Especially when they grow up out of cracks in pavement or sidewalks. It's proof there's still nature in the city, even when they try to hide it under all the concrete. They’re stubborn little flowers and they're perfect. Interviewer: Aren't dandelions weeds? Sunny: Only because someone wanted to sell people on the idea of a perfectly sterilized, useless, solid patch of grass which completely destroyed the biodiversity of most yards. They’re yellow, they're cute, I like them. Interviewer: Got it…

[FAVE SCENT:]

This is a hard one to describe, but do you know how sometimes you can kind of smell outside? Not like… exhaust and garbage obviously… but there's a certain smell that gets in your hair and clothes when you've been out in the wind and sun and you can just tell that's what it is.

[COFFEE, TEA, HOT CHOCOLATE:]

Yes please, all of it.

[AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP:]

Probably about 6 or 7 normally. I tend to wake up early after having to for most of my life, but I love going back to bed. I'll usually wake up about sunrise or earlier and go have a cup of coffee and check my plants to see if they need water and if Vik isn't up yet I'll scooch back under the covers and go right back to sleep for a few more hours. Plus naps, naps are great.

[DOG OR CAT PERSON:]

Chickens. Okay okay, I know obviously I can't have them in the city, but the farm is well outside the avian exclusion zone. Seriously, they're adorable. (Pulls out phone to show no less than 300 different pictures of chicks and chickens)

[DREAM TRIP:]

Honestly I don't know. I like being close to my family and being in NC, so I don't think I'd want to go anywhere long. I have some Nomad friends though so a trip with them might be fun, maybe somewhere with actual mountains since I really like climbing around the canyons and stuff we have out in the Badlands.

[FAVE FICTIONAL CHARACTER:]

Hmmm… I'm gonna go with Bugs Bunny. Both extremely cute and extremely chaotic, I respect that.

[NUMBER OF BLANKETS YOU SLEEP WITH:]

I usually start with one or two, but I tend to run warm so by the time I wake up it's not uncommon for them all to be kicked down to the end of the bed or piled up on Vik’s side.

[RANDOM FACT:]

Sunny: About me or just like… a fact I like? Hm, how about: it's surprisingly easy to get a wild coyote into the front seat of a locked car. You wouldn't think so, but getting it out is actually much harder. Interviewer: Okay... That's slightly troubling... how about a fact about you? Sunny: I know how to get a wild coyote into the front seat of a locked car.

This was so fun to do!! Thank you @dreamskug for tagging me!

I have a few other tag things I still need to do with Sunny, I swear I havent actually forgotten, I just have terrible time management... >.>

EDIT: oh dang I forgot to tag people D: I think most of my cp friends have been tagged already so I'll toss it to @wraithsoutlaws bc I want someone to have the audacity to interview Dagger :P

Kiss Me in Komorebi 🌹 pre-show

An Exclusive Interview with the Bachelor! (part four) including a never-before-seen picture of Daniel Taylor's family!

pictured from left to right, birth order in brackets. Thomas (5), Matthew (7), Alan (3), Sofia, Rachel (2), Jordan (6), and Cheatham (4)

prev. | beg. | next.

more about the family below the cut! 🌸

Dan's family has been incredibly off-the-radar until now. He kept them almost entirely a secret during his earlier career, and only Jordan (a rising Simstagram model) has been exposed to the public eye and featured in his SimToks. He's not supposed to have favorites but his baby siblings, Jordan and Matthew, are definitely his favorites.

Daniel's father, Lt. Daniel Taylor I was an intensely abusive man, rigidly militaristic and a drunk to boot. Dan was the firstborn, and his namesake. Every sibling that was born after him was automatically under his protection, and he values each and every one of them above himself.

If you'd like to read more of Dan's history, you'll find his entire history written here, on his old profile. His history is not public knowledge: I just love writing and was too impatient to reveal it slowly!

Sofia Taylor (nee Perales) || Dan's mother. She can do no wrong in his eyes, and is literally the most important woman on Earth to him. Getting along with and being respectful to her will be very important. She suffered immense abuse at the hands of Dan's father and put up with it for years for the safety and advancement of her children. Dan never blamed her for anything, and the minute he got enough money from his show, he bought her a cottage in the rolling Henford countryside. Dan pays for everything, and she wants for nothing - which is, as he says, how she should live out the rest of her days forever.

Rachel Howard (nee Taylor) || The second-born. She is shrewd and sharp-witted, and very much a product of her father's stern household. Though she has a warm smile and a soft touch, the scar on her lip and the hard steel in her eyes belies the kind advice she's wan to give at any given moment. Rachel stepped in to take care of her siblings alongside Alan when Dan was shipped off to military school, and the three eldest siblings have a very close (if incredibly easy-to-aggravate-one-another) bond. Has two twins, a boy and a girl. Was so eager to shed her last name that she legally changed it once her boyfriend proposed.

Alan Taylor || The third-born. Alan has all of Dan's taciturn stoicism, but he's been softened by years of fatherhood and a quiet life lived in peace with his husband and children. Alan admired his eldest brother immensely, and was the one who felt the most abandoned when Dan left (seeing as he became the next Oldest Boy in the household). It took a long time for the two to reconcile after Dan's small rise to fame, but the two would say they're even closer now than they were before Dan left. Literally the most dad of all dads - if Dan never wanted to give his own children a chance to face the cruelties of the world, than Alan wanted his own children to be able to experience nothing but love and kindness that the world has to offer. Has three kids, two girls and one boy.

Cheatham Taylor || The fourth-born. An absolute rascal, Cheatham is the Uncle Bumi of the family. Largely ignored by their father for his weakness of health in youth, Cheatheam began acting out and rebelling at an early age to garner any sort of attention from the Lieutenant. He and Dan were at odds for the majority of his youth, and it wasn't until Dan was forced from the house that Cheatham was forced to confront their reality. Cheatham spent a few years on the road with Daniel before taking over the family ranch (and turning it into a weed farm, just to spite the old man) He's a spitfire and has the best laugh in the world, and though they are polar opposites, Dan finds him to be the easiest to confide in. He is happily married and has two children, both boys.

Thomas Taylor || The fifth-born. The Clark Kent of the family, Thomas was the Lieutenant's "second attempt" at a Proper Son. Thomas was a sweetheart from the moment he was born, and though his father taught him all the things he'd taught Dan, bullied him and beat him like he'd bullied and beat Dan, he never lost that innate sweetness and goodness that kept him Thomas. Sweet, simple Thomas. He was young when Dan was sent away, but insisted on sending him letters every chance he got - and Dan saved every one. He owns a garage in Starlight Shores, and he and Dan have beers and watch football together on the weekends.

Jordan Perales || The sixth-born, Matthew's twin. An aspiring Simstagram model and the baby sister of the family, Jordan was very young when Daniel was sent away, but she remembered him incredibly fondly. Daniel was even more protective of his younger siblings in his father's later years, as the man seemed to get impossibly worse as time went on, and both Jordan and Matthew were constantly at his side. The two of them view Daniel as their father figure, and he and Jordan are particularly close: she's the one who convinced him to go on Jupiter York's bachelorette, and she's the one who convinced him to try The Bachelor Challenge for himself. You'll want to bond with all of his siblings, sure, but Jordan is the one you'll want to be friends with the most. She changed her name the second she turned eighteen.

Matthew Taylor || The seventh-born, Jordan's twin. Matthew is the youngest and final Taylor, a surprise baby hiding behind his sister in the ultrasounds. Matthew struggled the most as a child in the Taylor household, which is saying something: but to put it in perspective, Daniel took more punches, beatings, and bloodied noses for Matthew than any other child in the house. Daniel holds the world in his palms for Matthew, and the two are incredibly close. Matthew is trans, and he knew from a very young age - which, as you can imagine, didn't exactly sit well with the Lieutenant. As Daniel will have the public know, Matthew is a boy, was always a boy, and if his deadname or the traumatic history of his transition was ever made public, Daniel would personally John Wick whoever was responsible.

You need a vacation part: 1

-HEY! BRO GIVE ME ANOTHER BEER, I'M STILL THIRSTY! -If I knew that I would have such a good time in the body of my older stepbrother, I had agreed to swap bodies with him for years. My stepbrother had been bragging to me for years about the strange, magical rock that he and his boyfriend found on their last vacation in Argentina.

He and I were always very different, while I was working my muscles in the gym and auditioning to model in magazines and appear in commercials my stepbrother was having sex with his boyfriend or partying drinking beer and smoking marijuana as if it was his last party.

I have to admit that he was a little jealous of my brother, not because of his huge belly and his boyfriend, I'm totally heterosexual, but rather because of his way of being and having fun. Every day I got up at 6 am to start my exercise routine and my work as a professional model. While he slept until noon, he ate what he wanted and didn't give a damn about life.

Maybe I wasn't as discreet as I thought because one day when he came back totally exhausted from my routine at the gym he offered me a little vacation in his obese and fat body -Come on! Just the weekend! I have a party with my friends, and I'm sure you need a vacation because of how much you complain? How bad would it be to relax a little?-

He was totally right, I agreed to swap bodies and go party with his friends at the local lake, at first I felt horrible every time he looked down at my saggy boobs and sloppy belly but when one of his best friends believed that I was my brother, he gave me a taste of his marijuana cigarette, I was able to relax.

We rented a boat, and I've been drinking beer, smoking weed, and eating like a pig without caring for a second if all those calories would affect my body. The weekend is still starting , I never want it to end, I just hope my brother doesn't mind me taking his fat body for a couple more days.

One of my stepbrother's friends mentioned that next weekend we could rent a van, smoke some Marijuana and go to Coachella to see a couple of cool bands, and that sounds really cool. Although admit, I have to admit I miss being able to see my Huge cock every time I look down, instead of my stepbrother's saggy fat tits.

Tommy noticing things about Billy and trying to be a good friend to him after Steve left because well, he had always had Steve, had a buddy, and now he didn’t and he missed the casualness of a close friendship.

So here’s some hc’s I have for Tommy trying to befriend Billy (even if Billy doesn’t care to be his pal):

1. Tommy notices Billy’s oral fixation (how can he not, he finds himself looking at his lips a lot) and brings lollipops and gum to school.

2. He offers him a cigarette when Billy is low because Billy gets a right foul mood without his nicotine. He’ll light it too because Billy forgets his lighter in his car half the time.

3. Billy doesn’t eat at school. He works up a sweat, but Tommy doesn’t see him eat much during the day, so Tommy usually gives him his pudding. It was something Steve used to do for him. It works, and Billy always chews the plastic spoon to nothing by the end of lunch.

4. Billy has a lot of energy. Tommy will invite him to the basketball court after school hours to blow it off, but Billy rarely takes his offer until his sister starts catching rides with Steve more often than not to the arcade. He’s rough on the court, but Tommy likes a challenge, and he likes how Billy gets all cocky when he wins.

5. Billy has anger issues. Tommy gets that not longer after meeting him. Tommy will often try to get him to laugh in the hallways by pulling pranks on others and telling puns. (Billy always acts like he finds them ridiculous, but the tiny huff of amusement is enough for Tommy to continue cause Steve did the exact same thing).

6. Drunk Billy is affectionate, if a bit of a peacock. He dances with inanimate objects and sings loudly and doesn’t hesitate to put an arm around Tommy, doesn’t shrug him off when Tommy puts a hand on his shoulder. Drunk Billy is almost a happy Billy, so Tommy always invites him to parties, even the ones Billy didn’t get invited to as a new kid (even if he was popular, some things were more exclusive).

7. Tommy gets weed for Billy. Billy pays for it, but he doesn’t want to keep it on him because his dad’s a “dick” about that kind of stuff, so he gets Tommy to buy it off Munson (who honestly scares Tommy sometimes, he’s like the before photo of a psycho from a slasher film) and they’ll get hazed together at the quarry. Billy gets sleepy when he smokes and Tommy thinks it’s kinda cute when he dozes off, not willing to wake him until it’s time for Billy start heading back home.

8. Billy doesn’t like to talk, but he also doesn’t like silence, so Tommy fills the gap with his own voice most days when Billy can’t do so with music. Billy will tell him to shut up, but he gets this look on his face when Tommy does, like he wasn’t expecting it and is kind of offended that Tommy just did as he was told. Tommy will always keep going when he does, smiling to himself as he rambles on about nothing important.

#billy hargrove #tommy hagan #tomgrove #I just love the idea of Tommy who really wants to be friends with Billy without realising his feelings are kinda…#g a y

Spyro 3 - The GameSpot Build and Lost Media

I've been actively researching and documenting early builds of Spyro 3 for something like 7 or 8 years now, and while I feel like I've made a significant impact, there's always going to be people that have never seen any the content that I've helped to document - so, every now and then, I get the urge to infodump about one piece of my research to a new group of people, to help make sure that the documentation I've done isn't only known to a very small group of people... that'd defeat the purpose of documentation, to an extent, I think.

Sometimes, outreach ends up being extremely important to the research and preservation of prerelease content - and this is no better exemplified than with Spyro 3's "GameSpot build".

On June 23rd, 2000, several websites and publications revealed early previews of Spyro: Year of the Dragon - this date was probably some sort of online embargo date.

The "April preview", an early build which seems to match the one used at E3 2000, was used by most of these publications. A few of them, according to accounts from those that wrote the previews, received exclusive gameplay sessions from the likes of Mark Cerny - these previews apparently took place quite close to the embargo date and certainly would have used a later build than the April one. We know that IGN received one of these sessions (but, according to the author of the preview article, was allegedly unable to record gameplay during this session, which resulted in IGN having to use the same build everyone else did in their preview articles), and it's a pretty safe bet that GameSpot did, too. In GameSpot's case, we actually got to see what this build looked like:

As expected, it's a later build than the April prototype - this one seems to be from around the same point in development as the earliest demo disc version, though we're not sure if it's an earlier build or a later one. Three main characteristics stick out in these screenshots:

We don't ever see what the eggs looked like in this build, but the fragments use this bizarre ornate gold texture.

The HUD uses a green egg sprite similar to some of the eggs seen in the April build; the earliest demo disc version also uses this sprite.

For some reason, transparent polygons are a solid black colour, making some screenshots look sort of ominous and weird.

Perhaps the weirdest thing about this build is that the gold egg fragments it uses, which to most players would be completely unrecognisable and unlike anything they've ever seen before, actually do appear in the final game. And they hatch from every egg in the entire game. In most cases, the fragment flies off screen before the player can spot it.

The earliest demo build, which seems to be from around May 25th, 2000, does not include this texture at all, which has called into question the timeline placement of the GameSpot build. On one hand, they might've used the final egg texture momentarily, switched to the gold one, and switched back, accidentally leaving one of the textures intact. On the other hand, there have been cases in many Spyro builds of random early assets weeding their way back into the game via means that we don't really understand. Look no further than the August 27th, 1998 localisation prototype of Spyro the Dragon, a post-final build which inexplicably re-uses an early Gnasty Gnorc model, textures, and animations, from around 2 months earlier in development:

The info we have on this build doesn't just stop at screenshots, though! GameSpot kindly uploaded 5 videos of the build - labelled "Movie 2" through "Movie 6" (thanks GameSpot. that's not confusing at all) - to their website. Most of these videos were later temporarily put behind a paywall, and in 2014, 4 of these videos were deleted during a server move, with only Movie 2 (the one never put behind a paywall) remaining. The one movie that remained didn't even play properly in GameSpot's video player for years, so I had to download the video from the API to view it at all:

youtube

While the video is an important piece of history, and did reveal to us that the early Sgt. Byrd theme heard in some old IGN videos of the April preview had a previously unheard guitar section (this was prior to the public release of the April preview), it doesn't tell us very much new about the build. If we really wanted to more precisely date the build, we'd need to know what the eggs looked or sounded like - but the egg collection section was entirely cut from the video. As of yet, we just don't have this information.

As for Movies 3 - 6? These are now lost media. They were up on the site for 14 years, we know that people saw them, and I suspect there were people that downloaded them. However, since they were deleted nearly 10 years ago, nobody has come forward to say that they have one of the videos and to show what was in it. Anyone that does come forward with this info should be met with some scepticism, of course, but I think the only way we'll ever see more of this build is with a greater outreach and more widespread knowledge of the missing videos - the videos were readily downloadable from the website, and so someone still has the videos, I'm sure.

And before anyone asks, yes, the WayBack Machine has been very extensively searched for these videos - we can't find them, there's just no trace of them on there.

Judging by the video descriptions, Movie 3 would have focused on Bentley, Movie 4 on either Sheila or Agent 9, and Movies 5 and 6 on Spyro gameplay.

I've only ever encountered one person who claims to have seen these videos, and whether they're to be believed or not, they claimed that one of the videos showed Sunny Villa using Fireworks Factory's theme (levels using the wrong themes was very common in early builds of these games! Additionally, Fireworks Factory's theme is very likely to have been present around this point in development), and another showed Agent 9 gameplay using a track that didn't sound very Spyro-like, but more like "something from James Bond".

When the April preview released later on, it was discovered that early Spyro 3 builds actually do have a number of entirely non-Spyro themes, all by µ-Ziq and Propellerheads, left unused in their soundtrack data. The tracks in these builds seem to line up with the levels present in an earlier build of the game, and by this metric, it seems that "Spybreak!", a theme from the Matrix soundtrack, would have (fittingly?) lined up with Agent 9's Lab, and possibly would have been used in that level in internal development builds. Sure enough, my contact agreed that this was the theme they heard, when I sent them the track - if this is indeed the case, then this build is very very weird indeed.

It remains to be seen whether we'll ever learn anything new about this build, but we can only hope. I've linked to an archived 7z file containing all the screenshots uploaded to GameSpot below, as well as a link to a TCRF article detailing some of the known differences spotted in this build:

Idk if it’s a tropical Virgo/sidereal Leo man thing or man thing in general.. but i noticed men with this placement will make up a lie(s) when they don’t want to do/be with someone instead of just being real.

i was watching married at first sight, and one of the men made up an excuse about not liking his new wife because he wasn’t into the “glamorous, extra, ig model type” or something along those lines and just kept reiterating how he likes average and normal women. He was telling everyone who would listen on his freaking wedding day, how disappointed and not attracted he was to his new wife because she wasn’t his “type.” Mind you, he was lying his ass off because he also made sure to express how his wife’s mom was the kind of woman he would usually go for and the mom was LITERALLY the epitome of the women he claimed wasn’t attracted to. The mom had her boobs pushed up, short party dress, makeup caked on, etc. Not even gonna lie, she looked better than the bride, her own daughter lmao. And it was obvious but instead of just saying he wasn’t attracted his bride and leaving it at that… he had to come up with a bunch of bs about how he didn’t like her because of how she presented herself when she was only dolled up cause it was freaking her wedding day and you can tell she wasn’t the “ig baddie” type. His name is Mitch and he’s on Season 15 of MAFS so check it out if you can to see what I’m talking about. I know he’s a Leo but i couldn’t find his exact birthday so idk if he’s just a tropical Leo sun or sidereal. he was really big on saving the planet so i know for a fact that he has trop Virgo placements.

Another example i have is Michael, Ashley’s husband, on The Real Housewives of Potomac. Michael is a tropical Leo with + trop Virgo placements that turn into Leo in sidereal. He told Ashley that he didn’t want to have kids with her cause he was cautious about her turning out like her mom. Sorry, let’s back track. First he said he wanted to wait until they broke even on the restaurant they just opened and when they did, he changed it to “idk if i want kids with you cause you might turn out to be a bad mom.” Mind you, this man gets accused of sexual assault or cheating literally every season I’ve been watching (I’m on season 6) and he even revealed information about his past and how his dad wasn’t a good dad at all! Before they got married, he knew she wanted kids and he agreed but suddenly changed his mind when she was ready. The reason for him not wanting kids was most likely because he’s an old ass man and just wanted to enjoy his young hot wife but he kept pulling bullshit reasons out of his ass instead of just being real!

Anyways, watching this happen twice on tv triggered tf out of me cause it reminded me of a past situation-ship i had with a trop Virgo/sidereal Leo moon + Venus man. When i told him i wanted to be exclusive with him he told me he didn’t want to be with me cause he didn’t cuff girls who smoked weed lmao. At the time, i knew it was bs and knew he probably just didn’t want to be with me cause i was already giving up the 🐱 and realized at that moment that’s all he wanted from me. And i later found out he had a gf that he was probably dealing with while we were messing with each other.

Has anyone else noticed this?? If so, is this a MAN thing in general? Or a trop Virgo/sidereal Leo man thing??

Cause i know Virgo energy can make one selective and critical of ppl

#sidereal Leo #Leo #Virgo #Virgo men #Virgo man #Leo men #Leo man #Leo Venus #Virgo Venus #Virgo moon #Leo moon
