All right, it’s time to try a soda I haven’t tried before. This time I’m drinking Faygo Dee-licious Cotton Candy. Faygo is not very common in my neck of the woods but I picked up three cans back in February and I only tried one of them. This is Faygo number 2.
Appearance: It is bright blue, fairly translucent
Scent: very sweet smelling but the scent does not carry far.
Carbonation: the bubbles are small, possibly related to the bottle’s age, but the first bottle wasn’t super fizzy either. Possibly will need to re-do this.
Taste: Woo-ee! That is sweet! It’s good! It has this interesting taste that I’ve never had in a soda before. It reminds me a little of butterscotch candy, more than cotton candy.
Mouthfeel: It has an almost silky mouthfeel. There’s some syrupyness, but it’s pleasantly wet and unsticky.
Aftertaste: no discernable aftertaste, save a slight echo of the sweetness that came before.
Portions: I drank about 120 ml (a ½ cup) of this, and I think that is all I need for now. Maybe if I were drinking this with something salty or savory, I could complement it with this, but on its own, the sweetness of a half cup is a perfect portion. Also, do not gulp this stuff down, you may tire of it more quickly. Have about 120 mL, wait until you feel like more. Don’t drink this like coke by itself.
Pairings: this soda has such a unique and delightful sweet taste, you should not pair it with any other sweet things. You could maybe make a vanilla float out of this but even that is pushing it. If you must pair it with food, go for contrast: something savory and smoky would probably be best.
All in all, a very good soda. If it has any downside, it is probably its lack of versatility. I can’t see myself drinking this with just any old thing. It also is hard to recommend in large doses, which is how a lot of people usually consume soda. But as it’s own thing in small doses, it might be better than most of the sodas i’ve done so far.

Teacher!Amane x reader
Yugi Amane is the most infuriating person on this planet.
To you at least.
He was a science teacher in Kamome Gauken who loved the topic of space. He carried around his keys in his lab coat which had one keyring of a rocket which he said was a gift from his younger brother, Tsukasa, who was a baker in the local town. Every day, he’d have one of his brother’s homemade donuts and probably would kill anyone who would try and steal it. He was also very handsome with beautiful amber eyes and silky dark hair, and to top it off, he was tall. But here’s the thing that really ticked you off.
He loved saying pick up lines to you
You, being an English teacher, found it amusing at first when he would string English phrases together and try to make you embarrassed at their hidden applied meanings. At first, you laughed at the puns and cheesy meanings, dismissing him with a shake of your head and a smile. But as time went on, his started using them more and more as you decided to hang out with each other, and frankly, it was getting to the point where you would rather suffocate yourself with one of your students’ tests then sit down and have a conversation with him.
“Do you like gardening?” Right now, you were trying to enjoy a nice marking session together. Before this pickup line business, Amane was a very funny guy to have around while marking, so you’d do it together quite often. But now, you would take his brother’s eccentric self in a heartbeat if it meant you'd be free from these pickup lines. You glanced at him, and as expected, his amber eyes were staring at you with that same mischievous gaze that normally left you breathless. But this time, you looked away and sighed “Because we should press our tulips together,” his English was adorable really but did he really have to waste it on pick up lines?
Your body betrayed you and blushed at the comment, leaving you to show your annoyance by grumbling to yourself, a clear sign that he was getting to you. Amane laughed to himself and leaned closer, forgetting about the tests he was supposed to be marking himself. He wanted to see you blush more. This was a reaction he as yet to see.
“Your name must be coca-cola,” oh here he goes again, telling you another one. Someone, please spare you the embarrassment and cheesiness that’s just about to befall you “Because you’re soda-licious,” he finished, a cat-like sound in his voice. Your cheeks flushed more as your pen pressed harder onto your student’s test, leaving an odd mark on it. You cursed and slightly prayed the student didn’t mind a kinda big dot on the corner of their work.
“Aww, is [L/n]-san getting flustered?” Amane asked, leaning in closer to you. His face was super close now, and when you turned around, you squeaked and moved away from him to create a bit of distance. Huffing at this, Amane moved his chair close to you which left you nowhere to go. “Why’re you moving away from me?” The teasing but sad tone in Amane’s voice coaxed you to move closer to Amane, but you will not be fooled! You are going to stand your ground and get your tests down while putting up with Amane’s pick up lines!
Then, a brilliant idea came to your mind, and this time you turned around and smirked at Amane. The sudden change of attitude was what scared Amane as you’re normal glaring eyes were now looking at him with a teasing expression in them as a smirk was pulled on your face “Are you the moon?” Wait what? You were...you were totally doing this weren’t you “Because even when it’s dark you seem to shine,”
You expected Amane to try and top off your line or be too shocked at your line to do anything, but the unexpected happened. First, his ears turned bright red, and that blush trickled from his ears to his cheeks and then down his neck. He was burning a beautiful red while his eyes shot wide open and his mouth was left grasping for something to say. You stopped and stared for a moment before laughing at his cute expression, ticking off the last marks of your student’s test.
“Please go out with me,”
“Wait what?”

Do You Believe In Love At First, Or Should I Pass By Again? - Machine Gun Kelly Fan Fiction
Tumblr media
Word Count: 2675 words
Warnings: None
Summary: Colson meets a woman in a venue bar who doesn't know who he is, and bad pick-up lines ensue.
Where else can you find this: Ao3 | Wattpad
Colson sat at the bar, staring into his drink.
   He was feeling...maudlin. It was one of Dom's weird British words, but even without the man beside him, Colson felt it was appropriate, being in London and all.
 And because he was fucking miserable.
 Maybe it was just because he'd had a bit too much to drink, hadn't smoked, and had now drunk way too much for it to be a good idea to start now, but he felt like shit. He was on his own for once, and even though it was by his own decision, the empty feeling of being alone in a crowded place was starting to creep in. At first it had been fine, when he'd been riding high on the adrenaline of just being on stage, but an hour that adrenaline was starting to fade and he was starting to regret sending everyone on to party without him.
 He was debating going to catch up with them versus just going back to the house they were staying at, when a short woman dressed in black sauntered up next to him. Goth chicks weren't usually his type, but she had enough of a figure to grab his attention. He turned in his seat to flirt with her, but to Colson's surprise she ignored him completely, flagging down the bar tender and ordering a drink without giving him a second glance.
   Well, clearly she wasn't here to see me tonight.
   Normally, he would've let it go...but tonight he needed a distraction, and charming someone who seemed indifferent to him seemed like the perfect diversion.
 Obviously, it didn't hurt that the woman was good looking as fuck. Five foot something of curves poured into torn fishnets, a black leather mini-skirt, and a ripped black denim jacket over a white t-shirt with an interesting crying angel in a lightning bolt design on the front. She flicked straight, silky black hair over her shoulder after she ordered, revealing deep purple lips bisected by a shining silver ring that Colson instantly wanted to bite at, and heavily made up eyes that finally looked over at him. Her grey eyes slid over him, taking him in, and obviously finding him wanting if the vague curl of her lip was anything to go by
 He probably shouldn't find that hot, but...he did.
   "Can I help you?" she asked, her accent making her words seem all the more insulting...and Colson was still into it.
 "Yeah, I was just wondering if your name was Google?" he smirked: "Because you're everything I've been searching for."
 Grey eyes rolled heavenwards, a sigh escaping purple lips: "Really?"
 Colson grinned: "I've got other lines, if you didn't like that one."
 "Maybe I just don't like you."
   The words were bitchy as fuck, so much so Colson actually winced...but it was still kind of hot, and he laughed even as he was wincing.
 He wasn't usually into this mean girl shit, especially not when it was directed at him, but...apparently he really was a bit fucked up tonight. It probably would've been sensible to examine why that might be, but Colson wasn't feeling up to any kind of introspection right now. It seemed like a lot more fun to just try and get her to be mean to him again.
 If he got lucky, she might keep it up all night.
   "That's okay; I grow on people. I'm like mould."
 That, at least, seemed to get an amused snort out of the woman, even if her expression was still a little guarded: "Your words, mate."
 "Yeah? Speaking of words: are you a dictionary? 'Cause you’re adding meaning to my life."
 Now the woman groaned, but the sound was playful, and there was a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips, the guarded look melting away: "You need to stop."
 "But I'm having so much fun." Colson grinned: "Pick-up lines are great. Try using one back, you'll see."
 "I don't know. For some reason, I have been feeling a little off today..." she pulled a thoughtful expression, before suddenly smirking: "...but then you came along, and you definitely turned me on."
 Colson burst out laughing, before taking another sip of his drink: "Nice. You got game, English, but I'm not sure you're up to my level yet."
 "English? Alright, America." the grey eyed girl half-smirked-half-sneered, the expression mocking but not bitchy: "And I can assure you, if you want to play that game, you're going to end up calling me 'your majesty'. Because I fucking rule."
 "That right?"
 "Yeah, America. That's right."
   Well, if that wasn't a challenge, Colson didn't know what was. And Machine Gun Kelly never backed down from a challenge. He didn't have it in him.
 Even if this woman didn't know who he was, that would just make playing this game with her all the more fun.
    Colson leaned towards English, a smile curling his lips: "Let's go, then. I’d say God Bless you, but it looks like he already did."
 "Didn't need him to; I’m always on top of things. Would you like to be one of them?"
 "You sure? You said you weren't feeling yourself today...wanna feel me instead?"
 "You wish." she laughed, throwing her head back in a way that made her lip-ring glint in the dim light of the bar and exposed the bare skin on her neck, which Colson suddenly wanted to leave hickies all over...before getting distracted by the grey eyed girl's crooked smirk: "Did you know my lips are like Skittles - if you're good, you might just get to taste the rainbow."
 "And here I thought it was the Pepsi that was making you look so-da-licious." Colson winked.
 "Oh, America, clearly your brain isn't working properly...maybe it's because you're deficient in vitamin me."
 "Speaking of vitamins, did you take your Vitamin D today, or did you need me to give you a hand?"
 "How about we play Titanic instead. You’ll be the iceberg, and I’ll go down." English winked, and Colson lost it laughing.
   She was overdoing it so much, he knew she wasn't actually flirting with him with that one.
 The others might have been questionable in terms of whether she might be interested in him, but that one was just an attempt to knock him off his game - and it had been so unexpected that it worked. From the smug little smile on her face, she knew it too.
 Colson didn't mind that he'd lost; it'd been fun going back and forth like he had, and now that she'd warmed up a bit this chick had a good energy; less bitchy, and more sarcastic. He liked it. He liked that she could match him; even if he didn't end up leaving with her tonight, he'd enjoy hanging at the bar with someone who could meet him joke for joke, or pick-up line for pick-up line, than he would fucking someone who was silent through half their interaction for whatever reason. Quiet women were never his type; he liked girls with attitude.
 And this woman had it by the fucking boatload.
 She was leaning back in her barstool, openly examining him, arms crossed over her chest and one leg thrown over the other. She was the picture of quiet confidence, all relaxed but still sitting tall. Some guys might be put off by her lack of fawning, but not Colson.
 He just leant in again with his most charming smirk firmly in place.
   "So, since you won, would you let me buy you a drink?"
 "I've got one, thanks." she held up her glass of something - vodka and soda, if Colson was guessing by the clear colour - before taking a sip: "Why don't you tell me your name instead, loser?"
 "Colson."
 "Ah, shit. I was hoping I'd recognise it." she laughed: "You look kind of familiar, but maybe I just saw you in the crowd earlier."
 He had walked through the crowd at one point...albeit in a hoodie and tucked between tWo security guards: "Maybe."
 "That is literally the least convincing 'maybe' I ever heard." English rolled her eyes playfully: "But okay, Colson. I'm Rosie."
   Rosie.
   It shouldn't have fit her, a soft name for a woman that was anything but soft, but somehow it suited her. She owned it, wore it well. Just like she wore the blood red rose and black brambles tattooed on the back of her left hand...maybe that was why the name fit her. Beautiful in a prickly kind of way.
 That certainly fit her.
 Not that he was going to say that to her. Rosie, as bitchy as she had been to begin with, didn't seem like the kind of woman to take dubious accolades like 'prickly' as compliments, no matter how nicely they were meant. Colson got the sense the bitchy remarks at the beginning of their conversation had been attempt to shut him up and leave her alone. He'd gotten past that wall pretty quickly, but he was almost certain he could get pushed back outside it pretty quickly as well.
 The more the spoke - about how he was finding London, about whether the UK or US did gigs better, about the band whose t-shirt she was wearing - the more Colson found himself liking Rosie. He'd already thought she had a good feeling about her, but the more he spoke to her the more that good feeling grew. She was a bit like Dom, in a way; less loud and energetic, but just as quick and just as unwilling to put up with anyone's shit, including Colson's. She didn't say anything, but she put out clear signs that she was not see him as someone she'd be interested in fucking tonight, and that if Colson tried to make that happen, he'd find himself alone faster than he could ask her to come back.
 Colson respected that. As gorgeous as he still thought Rosie was - and as much as he still wanted to mark up her neck to let everyone know she'd let him do it, and bite at her lip ring while making out with her - he wasn't that kind of guy that pushed for what women didn't want to give him. Usually he was the kind to accept their denial and move on, but honestly he was having a better time just talking with Rosie than he had had in a while.
 She just seemed to understand him, even when he was leaving gaps in his stories. He was just starting to tell her about Cassie, showing her his screensaver of him and his daughter together, about how frustrating it was that people didn't seem to trust him to parent his own damn kid, when a girl around Cassie's age appeared at Rosie's elbow.
   "Hey Miss Barnes, the show's over. Grace's just queuing to go to the loo but she wanted me to go get our coats?"
   Rosie turned and smiled at the kid, already fishing in her pockets for the little ticket stubs they gave out for the cloakroom here, when the kid turned to look at Colson. Her eyes widened, and she went a little pale, but when he smiled - because what the fuck else was he gonna do, glare at a thirteen year old girl who looked like she'd seen a ghost for no good reason? - she just dashed off with the stubs for the cloakroom clutched in her hand.
 He was so busted.
 Not yet, but as soon as Rosie was taking the kids home, they were going to tell her who she'd been talking to.
   "Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go." Rosie announced, tone apologetic as she shrugged in a 'what can you do?' kind of way: "Downsides of chaperoning your niece and her friends to a gig, you're on their time-table."
 "I would try and say something positive, but I struggle not giving in to one kid, let alone a bunch of them." he returned: "Maybe if you get a day that you're not on anyone else's schedule, you could give me a call? I'm in London for a few more days."
 Rosie looked surprised, but she nodded: "Sure. You want my number?"
 "I'll give you mine." Colson pulled a sharpie from the pocket of his jeans, scrawling his number on the back of one of his bar receipts: "I'd lose my head if it weren't screwed on, but my phones usually just as attached to me as my head is anyway."
   And this way, if she didn't want to talk to him again, the decision was hers and hers alone.
 Seemed fair, considering she wasn't going to know who he actually was until after he was too far away for her to turn him down to his face. Colson couldn't deny he would be pretty upset if he never heard from her again, but it would be better than him reaching out to her and her ignoring him. He had a fairly thick skin when it came to rejection - he had to, by now - but he was certain Rosie would prove an exception to that rule.
 Best to give her his number and just hope she gave him a chance to explain why he had half-lied to her.
   "Great. Speak to you soon, Colson." Rosie took the receipt and tucked it into the black purse that was slung over her shoulder.
 Colson smiled, but the expression felt a little hollow: "Speak to you soon."
   He hoped he hadn't just lied again.
Tumblr media
           MESSAGE FROM AN UNKNOWN NUMBER
So, I might've seen you in the crowd, huh?
   Colson blinked at his phone for a few seconds, still half-asleep but for once not hungover or coming down, last night coming back to him in a sudden flash, cutting through the fog of sleep quicker than the lightning bolt on a certain t-shirt last night.
   Rosie.
   Unlocking his phone with fumbling fingers - not that he'd ever acknowledge that to anyone if they saw it - Colson rushed to respond to Rosie's text message, worrying his lower lip between his teeth as he did:
   If it helps, I did walk through the crowd at one point.
So you might of.
  As opposed to recognising you from when you were on stage?
Yeah, seems likely.
  I'm sorry?
    There were a few minutes of no response, with Colson holding onto his phone and watching the chat screen, trying not to worry about what Rosie might be thinking.
 Would she be thinking of the nicest way to let him down gently? Or maybe the harshest way to tell him to fuck off? Was she going to change now she knew he had a degree of wealth and fame? She hadn't seemed like the type...but he'd really only had one conversation with her. And that conversation had been just two people at a bar. Colson didn't think he was being egotistical when he worried him being Machine Gun Kelly could change things.
   It's fine.
I probably wouldn't have told you if I was famous, either.
 You telling me you're not a model? Damn, pretty sure I thought I recognised you from a magazine.
It must've been a museum.
Because you truly are a work of art.
 Really, mate, you wanna lose this game again?
   Colson sighed in relief.
 She was still calling him 'mate', and she was still challenging him to play dumb games with her, just like last night. Finding out who he was hadn't changed shit.
 He hadn't irreparably fucked anything up.
   I'm not hearing any comeback, flower power.
  Oh, it's fucking on now, America.
You must be a broom, because you just swept me off my feet.
   Colson grinned, racking his brain for a good response as he hauled himself out of bed and headed down towards the kitchen to make himself a coffee. He was going to need it, to keep up with Rosie.
 And he was almost unreasonably happy about that.

My Current Skincare Routine
Tumblr media
I believe in investing in your skin because it's going to represent you for a very long time. As much as I love wearing makeup, I’d still wanna look natural on the outside. But I also want to go out in public and not wear that much makeup. That’s why I'm a big believer that if you focus on your skincare, you really won't need a lot of makeup. Skincare is self-care.
Just a background story of my skin lol.
Tumblr media
This is me back in High School.
Back when I was in high school (the puberty period), I literally have no problem with my skin. I never had any kind of breakout the whole high school life, and for that, I considered myself lucky. I don’t know if it’s in our genes or what, but I think my irregular period explained why I don't break out? I'm not sure hehe.
But when I stepped into college, that’s when I started having cystic acne, just once every month. I noticed my skin reacts in a different environment than I’m used to. Like when I was in college, I was studying in Manila. Manila is known for its air pollution because of traffic congestion. I have also found out that the water in Manila has chlorine, and I feel like my skin gets irritated, and that causes acne or breakout.
Tumblr media
My brother who lives in South Korea sent a lot of skin care products. ca. 2017
I started using skincare products when I was in college, but mostly it's just facial wash, toner, and moisturizer. Then 3 years ago, I started putting serum on my face, a sheet mask or clay mask, and my skin feels so good after. My face feels so hydrated and the product that I used which is Innisfree works for me.
Tumblr media
April 2018
RECENT BREAKOUT STORY (2020)
Ever since this pandemic and lockdown happened, I started breaking out. My skin became super oily, I thought maybe it was just the heat because it was summer then. I update my skincare, and nothing seems to work on me. And then I thought, maybe it was a hormonal imbalance, so I started taking pills for two months, still not working. The worst part of it, my pimples are cystic. Before, whenever I get a pimple it was just once every month. But now, when one pimple heals, there's another one comes, and they're mostly on my T-zones, which is the oiliest part of my face. I was so stressed about it, so I decided to see a Dermatologist at Cutis Essentials. Take note: this is my first time seeing and consulting a Dermatologist.
In order for the Doctor to treat me, she asked me a bunch of questions like, what kind of product do I use, she asked about my skin history and family history, and if I am taking some medicines or vitamins, and so on. And from that, I have learned that too much Vitamin E, B6, and B12 can cause acne. I have never taken any kind of vitamins in my whole adult life because I hate drinking medicines, but since there's a virus spreading all over the world, killing millions of people, I started taking it to boost my immune system. She gave me an oral medicine called Doxycycline and Epiduo Gel that dries up my acne. I stopped taking my pills and multivitamins and just stick to Vitamin C. I also stopped using this cleanser St. Ives Apricot Scrub and switch to a more mild facial cleanser. And hurrah, I finally see a good result. My face started clearing up little by little, and the oiliness lessens a bit. All I need to do is to get rid of my dark spots, which takes time.
The thing with doing your skincare routine, you have to stick with it consistently. And I gotta admit, there are days that I'm so lazy to do it and just skip some steps. Like sometimes I just removed my makeup, washed it, then put some toner to clean the excess dirt, then I'm done. That's my slacky routine. Don't do it hehe.
Tumblr media
I did a one week sheet mask challenge and my skin feels so good after. I definitely recommend this product that I got from BeautyMnl. It’s called Superfood Coconut Salad Mask Package from the brand Farm Skin.  Last pic on the lower right, that’s The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. 
youtube
A video of my skincare routine. Sorry if it’s a bit confusing LOL. I’ll make a better video next time hehe. 
MY CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE & HOW TO LAYER PRODUCTS:
Tumblr media
I want to be clear, I am not a dermatologist or esthetician, but this method has worked for me. If your skin is irritated, I recommend hitting the reset button and start from scratch. Try introducing new products one at a time and use it consistently for a few days to see if it's working for you. Also, try to learn more about what your skin needs. Like if you have dry skin, moisturizer and hydrate i every day. If you have an oily skin like me, try to lessen the products that’s very greasy, and don’t use it during the day. Just stick with light moisturizer. It is a little bit of a process and takes time, but once you have it figured out, your skincare routine will be on autopilot, and your skin will look better and better.
Here are the products that I am currently using:
Tumblr media
FACIAL CLEANSER
Brand: COSRX

Treasure Hunt
Fandom: Yuri on Ice
Summary: ‘’The rascal! That debaucher! That- That- Lolly gagging playboy!’’ He covered Mila’s eyes. ‘’’Don’t look! If a primordial like me almost fainted looking at this, I don’t want to know what this will do to your systems!’’ ‘’…An extreme reaction to a simple cuddle, but I like your style.’’ 
Phichit finds out his treasure (Yuuri) has been stolen. By Victor. Time to stalk the couple!
Disclaimer: I don’t own Yuri on Ice
FF.net | AO3 | Tumblr (my other entries: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
You can find my writing progress here.  If you can’t keep straight who’s what kind of creature anymore, here’s a list, plus some extra background information for those who’d like to read it!
My fic master list here.
This was written for yoifantasyweek ( @yoifantasyweek for those interested in checking out the other authors) 11/18/17- Day Six: Gold. I used the prompts ‘’Dragon,’’ and ‘’Treasure’’.  
This is part of the Land of Gods and Monsters ‘verse, but can be read as a standalone fic.  You can find a note on the chronology of this ‘verse here.
Day 1
‘’You don’t get it. I’m his mother.’’
‘’I was present when Hiroko birthed him.’’
‘’Yuuri’s my treasure!’’ Phichit does some jazz hands around his face for the sparkle effect.
Mila somersaults through the air, wings beating. ‘’And V-boy is my charge, darling.’’
Phichit pouts. ‘’I’m not going to ship them!’’
‘’Chuchu, ‘shipping’ is never going to be a thing.’’
‘’Don’t worry, I’ll make it happen!’’
Day 5
Big News! Dragon Crashes Wedding Party!
‘’I’m a Phaya Naga! Oh-are my eyes deceiving me? ‘Our eyewitness reports the dragon ran in screaming: ‘’You ain’t never gonna get my baby- Oooooooh- I like that song!’’’ I didn’t do that!’’
‘’No, you ran in screaming: ‘You ain’t never gonna get my baby- SOMEbody once told me the world is gonna-‘’
‘’roll me, I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed! She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead…’’
Day 6
‘’I never realized how chipmunk-y Victor’s cheeks were.’’
“His ass is nothing compared to Yuuri’s.” “A. You are so right. B. MY SON! You are rightfully worshipping him. C. I MEANT HIS FACE.” “…I blame your butt jokes, Chuchu.”
Day 8
‘’Oh my dragon scale. The rascal! That debaucher! That- That- Lolly gagging playboy!’’ He covers Mila’s eyes. ‘’’Don’t look! If a primordial like me almost fainted looking at this, I don’t want to know what this will do to your systems!’’
‘’…An extreme reaction to a simple cuddle, but I like your style.’’
Phichit gasps. ‘’HE- Victor just nuzzled Yuuri’s hair- Why are we not crystal shotting this? We should be crystal shotting this! Evidence, Mila, evidence!’’
‘’You know, taking a crystal shot of you right now would be perfect blackmail material.’’
‘’Giant snakes in hula outfits are common and a great disguise, I’ll have you know! Besides, why ever would I be embarrassed about wearing a coconut bra? It’d be blackmail against other people. Can you imagine it? If I show you this shot of me being the hottest thing ever, you’ll die!’’
Mila taps her lips. ‘’A vision- but do be sure to include your furbie cosplay, m’kay.’’
Phichit cackles. ‘’Furbie-licious to the max! Wait- where did they go now?!’’
Day 9
A rendezvous in the Niagara Falls.
Mila has the time of her life, Phichit flails and befriends the local hamsters.
Day 10
Tracking down Victor and Yuuri isn’t hard. What takes up time is the information gathering needed to help Victor find the place where he belongs. Behind the bars, that is.
The criminal in question is currently smiling softly as he uses Phichit’s cinnamon son as his slave. He has deceived Yuuri so thoroughly the poor boy is smiling while brushing his captor’s hair!
‘’I will take all of his Armani suits. Not to cut them apart- oh no, that would be too kind. I’ll paint them with daisies and roses and rice, and then I’ll make it smell so nice he’ll die from pleasure the next time he puts it on! Positivity will kill him!’’
‘’Savage, Chuchu.’’
‘’Hush, Millikins, they’ll hear us!’’
‘’Oh yes, a fairy and a Phaya Naga hovering in the air in front of a tower window. The height of stealth! Also, did you put on a few pounds?’’
‘’Are you implying you can’t lift me?’’
‘’Please, I could lift you in your true form while being five centimeters tall!’’
‘’Let’s try it out!’’
‘’You are so on!’’
Day 11
Peering over the hedge, Phichit sighs ‘’Why can’t they just stay in one place? I need my beauty sleep!’’
‘’Maybe if someone stopped announcing their presence…’’
‘’You were the one tipping them off?!’’
‘’…Sure. Yeah. Let’s go with that.’’
Yuuri sticks his head over the hedgerow. ‘’She didn’t need to, with the amount of noise you made.’’
‘’Yuuri!’’ Phichit smooshes his face against his chest. ‘’Ma baby boy! Don’t worry, mama’s here, he’ll protect you from the big bad angel!’’
Yuuri just sighs, remarkably fond for someone whose glasses were just ruined. ‘’Nice to see you too, Phichit.’’ 
Mila eddies through the air in the direction of the garden, ruffling Yuuri’s hair in passing. ‘’Atta, boy!’’
Phichit runs after her. ‘’Hey, if you’re pinching Victor’s cheeks I want in!’’
‘’The squishy-squish is all mineeeeeeeeeee, Chuchu!’’
‘’I… Might be convinced to let Victor into the family.’’
The Russian’s eyes lit up.
‘’But only if I get your conditioner, because oh my gosh, your hair is silky. I mean- you’ve been feeding Yuuri katsudon, you can’t be that bad.’’ Phichit inches forwards. ‘’Also, squuuuuuuish!’’
Victor doesn’t even try to get away, far too busy beaming at Yuuri, rainbows appearing all around him. ‘’I have been blessed!’’
‘’Me too,’’ Mila cackles, ‘’Blackmail material for the next millennium at the least!’’
Yuuri pales, Victor wails, and Phichit? Phichit beams.
Yeah. He can see it. He ships it! (Yes, Mila, shipping is totally gonna happen).
Author’s Note
The song Phichit and Mila sing on Day 8 is All-Star by Smash mouth!
…The butt joke exchange was actually inspired by M-chan blaming me for corrupting her with my butt jokes *cackles*

Bluesin’ at The Levitt
A sunny Sunday mornin’ in July
Got in my car and kissed my wife bye.
Goin’ to Sunday mornin’ Mass at St. Luke’s in Beavercreek.
Chowed down at a Chinese buffet at the east end of an Oregon district street
And proceeded to jam at the former Dave Hall Plaza
Transformed into the Levitt Pavillion stage
As Shawn Booker and her band from Columbus arrives onstage
Wearin’ a silky dress...almost lookin’ like Marlyn Monroe.
What a pretty beautiful black jivin’ bluesy diva mama.
The weather was hot but the music was cool as a kitty
As Miss Shawn was followed by The Soul Fixers from Cincinnati
Kellen Williams and his teenage power trio jammed like Jimi and Stevie Ray
Then Mississippi Red and the Bumble Bee-Licious band from Kentucky
They really heated up the stage in downtown Dayton on a hot afternoon Sunday.
Was gonna hang around for Tony Cheeseborough to rock the joint
But I felt sprinklin’ rain and made a dash to the parking garage point.
By the time I left downtown it was rainin’ hard like a ragin’ monsoon.
As I headed up Riverside Drive instead of I-75
The visibility was so bad yet I didn’t want to leave so soon.
But anyway I had a good time
Will come back next year to the Dayton bluesfest
And jam and groove just one more time.
Thanks Dayton
It was fun!

#Dayton, Ohio
Medjugorje message July 25, 2019:
“Dear children!
My call for you is prayer.
May prayer be a joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God.
Little children, trials will come and you will not be strong and sin will reign, but, if you are mine you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my son Jesus.
Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night.
Thank you for having responded to my call.”
