Thinking about Chris coming home from filming Captain America: The First Avenger to spend some time at home, ending up gushing to Scott about his guy, this sweet kid, that he got to act across from--Sebastian. Scott listens for a while, but before long, he has to interrupt and ask if there was literally anything else interesting about the shoot other than his crush. Chris stumbles. His crush? Scott nods, "Sebastian, duh." Chris keeps fumbling, starting and stopping. He doesn't--he's not. He doesn't swing that way. He's not gay. He sincerely, deeply thought about it when Scott came out to him. And he isn’t. He just likes the guy. Like, as a friend! Scott shrugs it off with a smile that's far too knowing. Chris kind of wants to wrestle him to the ground over that look. C'mon, he knows what he's feeling!
It takes until after the press tour for CA:TFA is over for Chris to ask Scott, okay, if I were to try to woo a guy... how might I do that? Is it any different than how I'd approach a girl?
Scott refuses to help Chris with his game. Look, Chris has everything, he's smart, he's good-looking, he's jacked, he's tall, his career is taking off, everyone likes him, he doesn't need game, too. Besides, it's too much fun to watch him trip over his own feet over this guy that, admittedly, yeah, is very handsome.
over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."
i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.
but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.
today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.
the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.
so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.
I love the “Mumbo’s some kind of supernatural creature” headcanons, and I love the “Mumbo’s just a guy” headcanons, but may I propose: “everyone thinks Mumbo is some sort of creature thing but he’s actually just a bit strange”
“His eyes are so red they basically glow!” My guy inhales enough redstone to power a small machine on the daily.
“He’s nocturnal! He’s always up at night!” Insomnia.
“It’s like he teleports! He just appears behind people” he’s just naturally very quiet and people don’t hear him walking up.
“He knows so many random facts, there has to have been around for ages to learn all that” he’s just a nerd.
Mumbo gets nervous anytime someone tries to interrogate him, making the hermits even more suspicious, but in actuality he’s just worried they’ll be disappointed and he’s starting to realise they probably won’t believe him no matter what answer he gives.
There’s a server-wide bet going for who can figure out what he actually is. Grian, who’s known him for years and knows full well that’s he’s 100% mortal and human, shows up and starts egging the hermits on by “dropping hints” as to what he may be, much to Mumbo’s dismay. Grian thinks the bet is utterly hilarious.
you chuckle breathlessly as you pump in and out of me, cooing a little.
“aw, again baby? g-god, you fuckin’ love cumming on this cock don’t you. getting your s-sweet little girl juice all over daddy’s big adult cock, huh.” you lean down to lick and suck my neck as your hand moves to grab the pink sharpie. you lean back and slow your pace down a bit as you uncap the marker. there, on my left breast, is a set of tally marks.
“good thing daddy’s keeping track, right? silly babies can’t count, so daddy’s gotta do it for you.” your hand strokes the marks on my breast. “let’s see… one, two… wow baby! seven times? you’ve cum for daddy so much!” you drag the marker across the skin of my tit, adding to the tallies, and press a kiss to the new line. “you’re doing such a good. fucking. job for me.” you punctuate your words with a thrust before picking your pace back up, pounding into me as i whine and cry. i’m completely overstimulated, a mess you’re fucking into a puddle.
“too bad daddy’s got so. much. stamina. how many more times can you cum for me before i finally breed you, huh? i’m thinking double digits, at least. i mean, you’re already at seven, it’s not that big of a stretch.”
“m-mmphngh~!” i clench around you as i cum again, hot tears springing from my eyes as you continue to fuck into me at that unforgiving pace.
question: do ppl ACTUALLY say things they don’t mean when they’re angry? or is that just an excuse after letting something true slip? i wouldn’t ever say something i don’t mean in anger, so the concept confuses me.
but something was said to me that is bothering me, though apparently was said in an argument and wasn’t meant. but i don’t rlly believe it wasn’t like, deep down true thoughts/feelings??? anyone have any insight? anyone say things they don’t mean in anger?
EDIT: this was a hastily worded post that i didn’t expect to get notes. this is a genuine question asked in good faith that i got a lot of amazing answers to!
also re: the many ppl saying “OP is lying about not saying things they don’t mean in anger because everyone does it”— i genuinely have never done that. if i say something mean while angry, i meant it. that’s literally why i asked this question and why the concept confuses me, because i wouldn’t do something like that so i wanted perspective from people who do it. idk why y’all can’t believe that lmao not everyone is as prone to anger and outbursts
