oh my god, i just read some news about an earthquake in turkey, are you okay??

hello anon, thank you for checking in with me! I'm thankfully not that close to Kahramanmaraş where the M7.7 earthquake happened, me and my family made it out of our building safely and were only frightened.

For those who don't know, the southern part of Turkey (Kahramanmaraş as the epicenter) along with northern Syria were hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 followed by aftershocks and another wave of a 7.6 magnitude hours later. I cannot speak for what's happening in Syria but they are in dire need of help as well.

The entire region is devastated with more than 3000 deaths (and counting, news channels are hiding the real amount, or so they say) and 10s of thousands of injured and an unfathomable amount of people still stuck under the rubble, it has left hundreds of thousands homeless. The earthquake hit 4 a.m. at night, so many were caught defenseless and disoriented in their sleep.

The damage is this unbelievably devastating because the southeastern areas are criminally underdeveloped, and help cannot get anywhere in time due to collapsed roads and because the ratio of helpers to those who are in need of help are severely lacking. In some areas, people have been waiting for help for an entire day now, and no government aid has arrived.

We are in the middle of a snowstorm and people are dying of hypothermia if not from fallen buildings. Don't go searching for these videos if you're faint of heart, but I have to say that people are sending help calls and videos from under the rubble, some cities and towns still haven't received any support at all and people are still under rubble. The way their loved ones are trying to lift rocks and debris with their own hands is just... saying it's extremely upsetting is an understatement. The numbers of collapsed buildings and those fighting for life under are unfathomable.

It's so bad that Turkey has declared a state four level emergency, it's an international call for help.

Thoughts and prayers are heartwarming and mean a lot, but if you're able to donate just one dollar/euro or anything at all, please do. Turkish Lira is at an all time low right now, we are in the middle of an economic crisis. Imagine some currency is 20 dollars each, that's how bad it is.

1 dollar = 18 turkish liras 1 euro = 20 turkish liras

Therefore, this kind of money is lifechanging right now, so don't feel bad you aren't doing anything by donating so little, you're making considerable change. If you're able to help, please help.

Here are places you can donate to and explanations of the work they do

Instructions on how to donate to AFAD HERE.

Instructions on how to donate to AHBAP HERE.

Thank you for taking time to read.

QIU IS SO HORNY. IDK WHY IM SO SHOOK BUT I AM. The shallow breathing through the nose?? The STARING?? I expected Shay’s lunch to be the one with sexual tension but it was just wholesome 😭😭 meanwhile Qiu was 5 secs from throwing it all away AT THEIR WORKPLACE. MC will literally be the one on the plate when they do dinner at Qiu’s house. +1000000 points to house Qiu, we love when the ex that got away comes crawling back with feral levels of horny

HAHAHA I love this, and it's so true.

The only thing I have to add to this is that I think where I wanted to go for the lunch with Qiu and Shay is showcasing some unexpected dimension of their feelings for MC.

For Qiu, their attraction for MC has always been kept under wraps- sanitized, made to "fit" into their logical frameworks, their other priorities etc., it's also very much "simmering beneath the surface" (e.g. in class) or hidden behind a veneer of nonchalance/professionalism (or literally behind closed doors/a secret, when it comes to Qiu's mom). But following the incident and the aftermath and the years spent apart, I think Qiu's trying to demonstrate that they no longer want to bottle up their feelings, and want to be a lot more... open about them. Hence the apology in front of everyone (if so desired) at the class reunion, the horndog levels of kissing at their workplace etc.

With Shay, their relationships - at least recently - have always been primarily and almost solely physical. While they very much are also physically attracted to MC and (for MCs who are not asexual) you already see their rapid physical connection in the earlier part of the IF. But as their feelings develop, it turns into something deeper and more wholesome, than they or MC fully expected. Hence the desire for the lunch to be mostly about them chatting and getting to know each other (and also the fact that MC gets to taste/have a glimpse into all their interests + gets introduced to everyone Shay cares about -> which is something very different from what Shay usually does with their casual flings!) In other words, I wanted the lunch/boxing session and biking session to really showcase how Shay and MC interact when sex or physical intimacy isn't necessarily in the picture/the main goal.

Thanks for the interesting message :)

Colossal Squid! Desmond and I'll give you my bones

“Have you heard the legends of the Kraken, Shay?”

“Every sailor has.” Shay answered politely, glancing at their guest.

Even as bitter wind gripped its claws at them, Haytham Kenway looked as prim and proper as a gentleman on his way to watch an opera.

Shay, on the other hand, had pulled the fabric around his neck up to cover his freezing nose.

“And do the stories tell of the Kraken a monster that destroys without any care of one’s status or upbringing?”

“The sea is a cruel mistress to all, Master Kenway.” Shay answered, glancing to his right. Gist just shrugged, obviously also a bit confused to why Haytham Kenway was talking about the Kraken all of a sudden.

“Yes, she is.” Haytham agreed as he walked towards the bow of the ship, “But the Kraken is not cruel.”

“He is playful and intelligent. He also has the habit of trying to show his displeasure using his limbs.” Haytham continued, making the other crew members stare at him, forgetting their tasks as they listened to a man who sounded like he knew the Kraken himself, “But above all else…”

“He is one ugly squid.” Haytham commented.

They would have laughed at that but the waters beneath them grew dark almost immediately.

Large tentacles rose from the depths and the crew shouted in fear and surprise.

Shay immediately ordered them to main the cannons but stopped when Haytham said, “It is no use. Human weaponry does not work on him.”

Shay froze, noticing that what he had thought to have been sunlight against the tentacles was actually…

Glowing lines that reminded Shay of the light of that device back in Lisbon.

For a brief moment, Shay was paralyzed, the fear and pain of that day flashing before him.

Haytham was still speaking and Shay tried to focus on his voice.

Haytham wasn’t there in Lisbon.

Shay wasn’t there in Lisbon anymore.

Haytham was his anchor to the present.

“The Kraken is what those who know nothing call him. The Templars though… had a different name for him.” Haytham continued calmly, as if the ship had not been kept in place by tentacles coiling all around it. There was no creaking sound and that only made Shay more frightened.

The Kraken knew how to control its strength so it wouldn’t damage the ship, only keep it immobilized.

That kind of intelligence…

“Desmond.”

Shay frowned.

Where have he heard the name before?

“The sea monster that Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad tamed. The ruler of the seas that cares for the Assassin Brotherhood.”

That’s right.

Shay heard Adéwalé talked about a ‘Desmond’ before. Shay had thought it was some kind of pet because Adéwalé talked about how it followed his old friend whenever he sailed.

One of the tentacles reach out towards Haytham and Shay shouted, “Master Kenway!”

Haytham raised a hand, stopping Shay from unsheathing his dual blades.

“Do not move, do not speak, do not even think.” Haytham ordered calmly, “He is here for me.”

“Will this be the day you drag me into the depths, Desmond?” Haytham asked, a slight curiosity in his tone, “Or will you still prolong this dance we share?”

The tentacle wrapped around his neck but, with how big the tentacle was, it wrapped his entire upper body instead.

Haytham didn’t seem worried, looking at the sea below as he stood at the very tip of the bow, “Well?”

Shay and the rest of the crew could only stare, frozen by fear and confusion, as Haytham was slowly lifted.

… before he was placed in the center of the ship. The tentacles uncoil around him slowly. There was a pause before it flicked Haytham’s hat off and Haytham simply gave a tired sigh.

The tentacles let go of the ship and returned to the depths of the sea.

It took a few seconds before the water returned to its normal color.

The entire crew gave out a relieved sigh as many of them fell on their asses.

“Master Kenway, what was that?” Shay asked and all of them turned to stare at the mysterious man as he picked up his hat.

“That was Desmond.” Haytham said as if he was just introducing a family friend he didn’t get along with, “The Sea Scourge of the Templars. He attacks every ship that shows its Templar affiliation. He won’t attack this ship though.”

“It won’t?” Shay couldn’t stop himself from sounding skeptical.

“As long as I sail with you, he will not.” Haytham said.

“Why?”

“Because that squid still believes I am my father’s son.”

I noticed that on mobile, there's a little button on the bottom right for booping on everyone's blog. The color of the paw doesn't change, and when I spam it for boops, it has the paw animation only in that color. Found out your blog is a white cat!

My sister noticed this as well!! A bit sad that I wasnt a black cat but I feel like the paw colours might have been determined by the colour of your blog theme :o? I don't know how air tight that theory is tho!

Anyway. april fools shay.

#ram asks #xylinthia #i do love the cut off on my pinned post so it just says SHAYS TOP #some1 said in tags that the paw colour was determined by how many boops u gave #but i had all of the badges + maxed out my boops so idk

i know you arent taking request but since you tend to do shorts could you do an angst one?

given i said to @anartisticalniche i would do an angst i will do a short one here lol is this angst? hope so enjoy WARNING MAIN CHARACTER DEATH!

SMG4 falls to knees shaking “Is this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke!” he couldn't move as the TV adware finishes off SMG3. The monster in front of him drained SMG3 of all his meme essence in which a guardian needs to live, he was too weak to stop it “NOO PLEASE!” Meggy fires a few rounds of her splatgun only to be reflected back “You put on a good show, shame the entertainment had to end!”

SMG4 growled charging at the adware only to be tackled down by Mario “MARIO CAN'T LOSE YOU TO!” He holds SMG4 close as the man tries to break free. “LET ME GO THIS BASTARD NEEDS TO DIE!” tears start to fall as he stares at his partner's lifeless body across from him. Why did this have to happen? Why now when they have become such good friends, why did he have to lose his other half. He can feel his body going numb as his crew drag him away to regroup.

Everyone was shouting trying to come up with a plan to defeat this new foe, but Four couldn't hear them as all he could hear were the final words of his partner.

“I love you.”

SMG4 hugs himself as he breaks down crying knowing he will never be able to tell SMG3 he felt the same way, he lost the only person in the world that understood him. Melony walks up to the crying man and pulls him into a hug “I know how it feels, let it all out.” She rubs his back to comfort him. He wraps his arms around her thinking back on Axol, what he is feeling must be what she felt all those years ago and she got her revenge. He pulls from the hug and looks up at her his blue eyes glowing “I’m getting payback!” she nods as she helps him up to get ready for the final battle.

the icarly writers really missed out by forgetting they made spencer an artist because in reality he would be a part of the greater seattle polycule and that's already a good set up for spencer-related hijinks

#💭#icarly #spencer shay #from most to least normal about it i think it would go - his bff gibby - carly - sam - freddie - and then freddie's mom #i originally had sam before carly but realized she would actually be really annoying about it by asking him whatever question came to her #and carly is like . his sister and loves and cares for him and even if she thinks hes weird she doesnt give a shit #anyway no one asked for my icarly polyamory analysis but here u go 👍🏻#edit: sorry my bestie reminded me carly has anxiety akin to a doomsday prepper switch carly and sam back to where they were #frankly perhaps put her under freddie

How do you think Leon would react to the reader slapping his ass and then immediately leaving the room. That is something I would do cuz I'm shy but his ass is just so mesmerizing you can't help it

im assuming this happens when both of you are alone 😭 re2r leon would be embarrassed and flustered about it, you’d hear a belated nervous laughter as you’re leaving the room and a “what was that about?”

But like. You see re4r Leon is a “time and place” man, you’d get attitude from him like “you don’t get to do that and walk away, come say it to my face” — good luck after that trying to be confident to him or whatever, his stare is INTENSE and he does that on playfulness purposes.

Infinite Darkness leon totally plays around and is like “that’s it? Hey come back!” and sticks to you like glue to get you in the mood.

Re6 leon is flabbergasted at the audacity (especially if he’s in the middle of something like a phone call or making food) so you can walk away as you like for the time being but you’re getting a payback slap and the escalation when you least expect it.

You’ve got a lot of dog!Desmond covered and you’ve got a catboy nonny in the walls….. sooooooo….. just popped in my head….. dogboy!Desmond?

I was thinking of how different Dogboy Desmond would be to Catboy Desmond and I realize what the problem was…

I wrote Catboy Desmond to be adorable and sweet, with maybe a bit of touchstarved Desmond sprinkled in between. This meant that an adorable and loyal Dogboy Desmond would just seem like a similar take so I would like to present an alternative.

Dogboy Desmond… but he has the instinct of a guardian dog.

And he sees Assassins as his ‘herd’.

Altaïr? He’s getting herded so he’d stop ignoring his hunger to finish his current research. Malik is his best friend and it’s normal to see the mentor being pushed around to the dining hall and being glared at until he ate everything in his plate.

Ezio? Ezio’s fine. He can take care of himself (although there will be nights when he and Desmond would just silently relax near the fire). His recruits though… they’re getting herded. Sometimes, Ezio had to stop Desmond from taking them back to their headquarters because “They’re tired, yes, but they can do this. Desmond-” (growl) “Listen to me, Desmond. There will come a time when they must continue even when they’re tired. The only way they can have an idea of what to do and not to do is for them to experience it in a safe-” (growling intensify) “Desmond, please, please just… this is the last lesson for today. I promise.”

Ratonhnhaké:ton? Achilles is getting lots of growls and might even get bitten because Desmond likes to herd Ratonhnhaké:ton back to the manor when he was young. He also herds the kids of the homestead while he’s there with Ratonhnhaké:ton. Strangely enough, he tries to herd Haytham at first but then just starts glaring and growling at him after he got into an argument with Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Edward makes him to shipcat as usual. Adéwalé gets a headache as usual. Strangely enough, Desmond does no herd any of the crew other than Edward and Adéwalé. Edward realized that ‘James Kidd’ is an Assassin because Desmond likes to herd him.

Shay? Oh boy. All of Achilles’ Assassins are being herded. No exception. Shay actually think this is some kind of weird Assassin thing. Liam told him to just go along with it. Desmond stayed with Shay after Lisbon and stopped him from leaving his room until he calmed down. Whether that affects Shay enough for him to try and talk to Achilles once more or if he’ll go with his canon path is up to you. Regardless, Desmond will stay with the Assassins though.

Arno is getting herded by Desmond who happened to be a dogboy that’s staying with the Brotherhood. Bellec tells him he’s been there longer than any of the Assassins alive and he… likes to take care of ‘brats’. Arno is herded with the other ‘newer’ Assassins and the herding (taking care of them) help him form some kind of camaraderie with them (aka: I am still pushing my ‘the Assassins in the Unity trailer should actually be characters that are friends with Arno’ agenda)

Let’s be honest… Jacob, Evie and Jayadeep are all getting herded. Desmond is less of a guardian dog here and more of the ‘father that stepped up’ type. They’re getting herded and taken care of. There is no escape.
