Update for the bap fans <3 David has 2 moms and they are my favorite characters ever

oh hi

podcast time <3

I'm Scam/Camera and Brickwoods Amusement Park is my in-progress podcast that I've been working on for a while. BAP is a horror podcast about 5 teens visiting an amusement park however everything seems to go downhill when they can't find their way out.

There will be a lot of random lore rambles here as well as character facts and details about side characters that won't be used a whole bunch in canon. I will be trying to keep some mystery to big plot points but not too much </3

Some general warnings for the series and almost all posts about it- there will be mentions of murder/death, gods and religion, cults, manipulation and stuff in that range. If any of that is not for you then Brickwoods is not for you <3

Main lore posts will have the tags #brickwoods lore and just general stuff will be #bap rambles

My main is @s-ccaam-era-crepe if you want Non-bap related posts but mostly still podcasts, can you tell there is a theme to my interests yet <3

Basic DNI you know how it is, I'll block if necessary.

Thanks for reading and stick around if you'd like :)

read on AO3

Wood cracks against the floor, sending blue slivers scattering across the polished linoleum backstage. Adam paces across the wooden chips, barely listening to the crackling under his feet. Fury licks at his temples, making his head ache. He wants a rink and some pain meds. He wants to sleep until Don Callis is nothing more than a few rotting bones buried in a rotten casket. It’s an evil thought, one that Adam almost hears whispered in Kenny’s voice, like it's a line from an misdirected promo that Adam wasn’t truly meant to hear.

He turns on the balls of his feet, fury making his legs tremble and his hands clenched into angry fists at his sides, he smacks his shoulder against the wall and that's when Adam chooses to give up. His chest is fluttering with every heavy breath and as he slides his back down the chipped brickwood, he smacks the back of his head against the wall. With his eyes closed Adam knows he’s a prime target for the Blackpool Combat Club but Mox and his gang of wannabe miscreants are the least of Adam’s worries right now. He doesn’t care if he’s the mouse in the trap or the cheese in the cage, he’s tired and he has to remind himself to breathe.

Breathe; nice and slow, in and out, a constant slow stream. In, hold, out. Just like his therapist had told him. In his mind he pictures waves washing up on a cloudy shoreline and he pictures the seafoam, bubbling around his ankles like Possidens kisses.

There's a distant echoing of footsteps that bounce around his brain and Adam’s eyebrows crease in annoyance. He wants a moment's peace and if he’s going to get jumped by the BCC, Regal must have never taught them the element of surprise.He presses his teeth together, pressing his jaws together so hard that his teeth feel like they're cracking under the pressure. He breathes through the pain, letting the pressure drop as the footsteps stop. He feels like he’s being watched, someone staring down at the crown of his head. Adam shifts and someone's hand falls onto his shoulder. Heavy and familiar and it burns. It burns like ashes from a fireplace or cigarette smoke first thing in the morning.

Breathe. He tells himself. Breathe through the pain. Breathe until the devilish puppet on his shoulder disappears back to its puppeteer strings.

In.

“Hangman?”

Hold.

“Hanger.”

Out.

“Adam.” His name comes out with a sigh and it hits his ears like chilly winter air. His eyes snap open and for a few moments, Adam’s eyelashes flutter in the darkness. Bile washes up his throat, coating his teeth with anger as he forces green eyes to stare dead ahead. He purposely doesn’t look at Kenny, not even from the corner of his eyes. He treats Kenny like a hallucination instead of something real; something that will disappear if Adam doesn’t pay attention to it anymore. He silently wills Kenny to get the message and leave Adam alone, surrounded by broken bits of wood and rusted nails and anger.

The hand on his shoulder drops and a breath that Adam didn’t know he was holding explodes past his lips in a sigh.

“Look at me.” Kenny’s voice borders on angry and the tone sparks at the fury that's half-settled at the bottom of Adam’s stomach. He loosens his grip on his jeans, pulling his knees slowly up to his chest. Adam blinks at the wall in front of him, stares at the nail embedded in the wall before letting his eyes close. Maybe he’s being stupid and childish and petty, doing the opposite of what Kenny’s telling him to do. But he doesn’t belong to Kenny anymore. Maybe he never did. Maybe the Kenny who cradled his face and pressed kisses to the inside side of his thighs was the same Kenny who signed the contract in blood and pushed Adam’s face into spilt liquor so hard that Adam could only find himself in the amber liquid.

Maybe the Kenny that had any chance of loving him was still in DDT pro-wrestling; all bright eyes and soft blond curls. Maybe the only Kenny capable of love is the one that’s held in Kota Ibushi’s soul.

“Adam.”

“Leave me alone.” His own voice feels rough; hissed between gritting teeth and he barely stomachs a glance at Kenny. He’s still dressed in his ring gear, a band aid across his forehead and ring tape trailing down the curve of his neck, down his shoulder. Kenny is hurt and Adam thinks that’s a good thing. Kenny is hurt and Adam feels guilty for being guiltless.

Kenny’s knees crack as he sits down besides Adam and that makes Adam feel a little bit more like a caged animal because Kenny is staring at him with the same gloriously blue eyes he stared at him with before. The soft, almost doe-like expression when he wants Adam to do something. When he needs Adam to do something. “Adam..?”

“Stop calling me that.” Adam whips his head around, fast enough that it makes his brain feel a little oxygen deprived. His shoulder bumps against Kenny’s and it’s only then does Adam’s brain really register how close the older man is to him. Their noses could press together if Adam angled his chin downwards, just a little.

Kenny raises an eyebrow almost like he’s urging Adam on; poking at the fire he sees twirling around Adam’s pin-point pupils. “Why?” Kenny asks and Adam feels like they’ve stopped talking about his name. “Why did you hurt Don?” For a few moments, Adam blinks at his reflection in Kenny’s eyes, watching his eyes flicker like he’s searching for the answer. Kenny sounds sad. Like Callis isn’t the one that paid off the BCC to hurt the Bucks. Like he isn’t the reason why Matt and Nick are currently curled up in separate hospital rooms, staring at empty walls.

Adam drops his stare first, turning to look back at the floor. He picks at invisible splotches on his jeans. “Why can’t you see what he’s doing to you?” His palms smooth over his thighs and Kenny pulls back, blinking heavily like Adam’s just slapped him. Adam’s hands itch with the want to hit him.

“What?” Kenny answers with an intake of breath, running his hand across the nape of his neck. “Don is family… he-”

“WE are family!” Adam snaps, roaring up onto his knees. His voice is louder than what he expected it to be. But Kenny is so deep into the spider's web, Adam can almost see the silky,white lines of control wrapping around Kenny’s throat like a noose. “Matt is your family. Nick is your family! Fuck Brandon and Nak and..And I’m your family!” His anger makes him stand, towering over Kenny like a wild animal over wounded prey. “Why cant ya fucking see that?!”

Adam shovers Kenny’s bad shoulder into the wall, sending his head careening into the chipped paintwork. For a few seconds, Kenny just blinks cluelessly before he shoves himself forward, Adam can taste the mint chewing gum on Kenny’s breath as he growls into the small amount of space between the two of them. Kenny’s hands are wrapped around the lapels of Adam’s leather jacket; his eyes are a furious blue and he’s heaving in heavy, furious breaths.

“What are you gonna do huh Kenny? Hit me? Is that what Don’s told you to do huh? To come find me and fight for his honor because he’s too fucked up to-”

Kenny’s lips are warm against Adam’s; warm and furious and Adam feels his brain short circuits. His eyes flick around the darkened corridor before falling on Kenny’s face; eyes all screwed up closed and his hands white-knuckled against his jacket. “Kiss me asshole.” Kenny mumbles against Adam’s still lips, voice so quiet that it sounds like hes begging.

Adam thrashes his head once he registers what happens, hard enough to smack his forehead against Kenny’s. “I-what-I no!” He takes a step back, feels splinters pierce through the heels of his boots. “No..Kenny I..I can’t.” He rubs his hands down the front of his jacket, using his wrists to knock Kenny’s hands away. “I’m not going to kiss you.”

Kenny looks hurt. He has the audacity to look hurt. His hands hover like he’s going to try to grab at Adam again before they drop, swinging at his sides. “He’s family Adam…He’s the only family I have..” Kenny coughs slightly, lets his eyes float to stare at the floor and Adam scrubs a hand over his face.

He still smells like hospital-grade hand sanitizer. “What about Matt? And Nick? They’re your family Kenny..They-.. They love you.”

“Do they?” The question takes Adam by surprise. He blinks at Kenny, tries to read his distant expression. It’s a fact that everyone knows whenever they look at the Elite; the group is one where love runs deepest. Saying that Matt and Nick don’t love Kenny is like saying the clouds don’t produce rain; stupid and easily refutable. It’s a fact engranded in wrestling, in existence, in the very foundations of life. “Does anyone love me?”

Adam paused. The question knocks all semblance of anger out of his body; his shoulders sag and he carefully blinks at Kenny, watching his eyebrows flit between creased and smoothed out as he blinks, quicker and quicker. Tears well in the corner of Kenny’s eyes and Adam finally taps into the corner of his heart that he’s kept locked away for over two years. He wraps his arms slowly around Kenny’s middle and sighs when his head tucks snugly under his chin.

It's almost like they match; two chipped puzzle pieces made to fit together through hurt and damage. Adam lets Kenny hide his face in his shoulder, rubbing his back as he feels the smaller man tremble against his chest. He hates seeing anyone cry but it’s always been different with Kenny; his tears feel like rusted swords digging into Adam’s skin. “Hey, shhh. So many people love ya Kenny.” He whispers into Kenny's curls, using his fingers to separate the two different tones. Kenny’s ring-worn nails drag softly across his scalp and Kenny makes a soft sound, almost like a thank you . Adam keeps talking, words dripping like a broken faucet into Kenny’s soft curls.

“You’re so funny and kind and soft with animals. What ain’t there to love huh?” The question is rhetorical, carrying a deeper meaning than what Adam means, but Kenny raises watery eyes from his shoulder and sniffles. “I’m not a good person..I hurt people.”

“You don’t…something in you does..something that you can’t control. Ya can’t he-”

“But I can fix it.” Kenny sounds so determined. So stubborn that Adam nearly pays attention to the pressure growing just behind his eyes. “Right? And then I can be a good person again…and…”

“Kenneth.” Adam cradles his face in his hands, using his ring-scuffed nails to push the tears off Kenny’s reddened cheeks. “You don't need to fix anythin’ about you. I know that…you know that.”

“But…”

“Yeah you were a good person. Once. I usedta be a good person too..people change an’ you can't fix that. You can’t stop people changing and sometimes you never get that person y’looking for back and it hurts and it sucks to all hell. But people will always love every version of you. Of me.. Of everyone.”

Kenny blinks for a few moments before he slowly tilts his head, leaning his cheek against Adam's palm; his skin is tacky and warm and Adam can barely hold back anymore. His lips graze against the band aid across Kenny’s forehead, nose pressing into a scar on his hairline and he doesn’t expect Kenny to stay. But he does. Kenny leans deeper into Adam's twitching fingers and lets his eyes settle closed.

“I looked up to you. Know that?” Kenny whispers a little while later. He’s got his head leaded against Adam’s shoulder, picking splinters out of the leather of Adam’s cowboy boots, rubbing at his thighs, laying across his lap. Adam looks up from his phone, raises his eyebrows in slight surprise. “Yeah.”

“Why?” Adam doesn’t mean to prompt more conversation, but the small smile that grace Kenny’s is enough to make him sit up and pull Kenny to sit in his lap, letting him fall into his shoulder blade. He’s always known Kenny gets clingy after an explosion of emotions and for a few moments, he lets himself become soft again towards him.

They always used to be so soft to one another. Maybe they could be again…eventually.

“You’re so full of love. For everything..” Kenny whispers, fingers tapping an incomprehensible rhythm out on the back of Adam’s jacket. “You love with everything you have..doesn’t it scare you?”

Adam presses a kiss to his temple, stroking his hand down the dip of Kenny’s spine. “Sometimes. Fear never stopped us before.”

“You’re right.”

Kenny looks like he’s going to say something else, his lips part slightly but Adam’s phone starts vibrating against the floor, country music blaring out the speaker and Kenny can’t help the small squeaking laugh that explodes past his lips.

“It's a good song!” Adam mumbles, bottom lip jutting out slightly as he scans through the text messages from Brandon. “You wanna come with me to pick up the Bucks from the hospital? Brandon says they’re high as kites.”

“Yeah. You should also return the ambulance..”

“Yeah..”

20240209: the History of LEGO Castle day 040. 6059-1 Knight's Stronghold (1990, 228 pieces, 76 different parts) The Knight's Stronghold is a black and light gray castle wall built on three green 4x12 plates. The three plates are connected by hinges, allowing the wall to be spread out, angled, or moved into a very closed wall configuration. The main part of this stronghold are the two 1x5x11 brown doors as the front part of the gate. There is also a blue and black battering ram with limited catapult abilities and a small jail. The five minifigures in this set include three Black Knight soldiers and two Black Falcons knights. One of the Black Falcon knights rides a white horse with a blue saddle and a dark gray lance with a blue flag. The knight has a black torso with black arms, a printed silver breastplate, black legs with a black belt, and wears a black helmet with a dark gray visor and a blue three plume feather, carrying a dark gray sword and a black and white split falcon shield with a blue border. The other Black Falcon knight has a blue torso with black arms and the silver breastplate print with blue legs and a black belt wearing a black archer helmet and holding a dark gray crossbow. The remaining three minifigures are Black Knight soldiers, with red torsos with red arms and silver scale mail, red legs with a black belt. Most of the sets for the next chunk of history will not have boxes, but the alternate builds from the instruction book include a different wall configuration with a catapult, a tower, a jail, and a pavillion. Brickwood Creations on Rebrickable has several alternate building instructions for the Knight's Stronghold. This set introduced the 1x5x11 brown door gate, which only comes in three other sets from 1990-1997 (6081-1 King's Mountain Fortress, 6090-1 Royal Knights' Castle, and 9376-1 Education and Dacta Castle Set). This set also introduces another part that becomes part of consistent production, the crossbow. In this first set, the crossbow comes in dark gray. This set also has the end connector bricks with a connector pin, meaning this set can be added to other LEGOLAND Castle System sets. I look forward to doing that at some point in the future because I think it would be insanely cool to see how everything connects :) I think this set also starts more of the precedent of using larger bricks and panels to take up more space and have fewer smaller parts. With that said, though, this is a very fun set! It's great to have a gate large enough to drive most of the carts and wagons so far through, as well as large brown doors that actually look like large wooden doors. The different configurations are also really neat. This is great set and a fantastic addition to the Black Knights sets. Parts inventory for this set can be found at either BrickLink or Rebrickable and a free download of the instructions can be found at ToysPeriod.

This is my entry in the @brickcentral #brickcentral myths and legends monthly event. Thanks to peter.g.keith for the poster stand instructions and ktownbricks for the awesome printed tiles.

ooo can I hear about the bap crew?

OF COURSE <333 i loveeee talking about the bap crew thank youuuu

okay so first off general warnings for the podcasts and all my posts about it for the most part <3 there are mentions of cults, death/murder, religion (and the like) and i think thats it mostly? (as a general) but sometimes it can be a lot, take care of yourself yall <33 and the rest is under the cut there is a lot <3

with that out of the way i guess if you didn't know already lol !! they are my podcast ocs !!! i'm in the works of creating a horror <3 podcast that takes place in an amusement park with 5 main characters and a god <3

so this post here explains a lot about the main characters personalities and stuff and the tags #brickwoods and #bap on my tumblr have some other posts related to the crew <3 recently i've been doing some extra stuff for fleshing out their families who will eventually be showing up in podcast and i can do a quick over view of them here tho <3

oh and not necessarily crew related but the length of podcast <333 imma ramble about that for a sec <3 so season 1 is going to be all amusement park stuff and the last episode of that season will be a major plot point/death (sorta setting the darker/more dramatic scene for s2) s2 is also amusement park shenanigans however now that the stakes have been raised the rest of the cast is pretty scared now yk. but they have still their motivations for wanting to get out and so <3

s3 is going to be after our final girl rebecca escapes the park and tries to a) sorta solve why that happened in the first place (why them. who is the god etc etc) and b) try to give closure to the others families so yeah. plus some other plots things yk <3

and then s4 will most likely be rebecca trying to stop/take down the cult because she doesn't want something like this to happen again and the ending is in workshop <33 (aka i can't decide between like. a couple possible endings i have planned but main plot won't change despite which one i eventually choose :))

okay so back to the crew lol <33 since that other post explains a lot of basic stuff about them feel free to ask specific questions about them now that you have info about them <3 but for now family time !!!

(specific warnings for this area some bad parents mentioned)

so david <3 ae is an only child with 2 moms, they are very sweet and amazing and extremely Extremely heartbroken when david never comes home after the park and stuff. they definitely had like plans for college visits and they had a car ready for when david was going to get aer license. the two of them are going to be pretty sad to write for in s3 i think but also i love them as characters (i was posting about them like last week lol they are very cute and fun when they arent sad </3)

hmm sophia's family <3 so her dad was born into the cult when it was a bit less strict (he was 'home-schooled' by the cult but also was allowed out bc his family is a main influential family) and her mom married in. they aren't the nicest parents by a long shot, and they only respect sophia because she became the leader. sophia does have a sibling however she doesn't know about them bc their parents kept them separate in order not to 'taint' sophia's godly touch

rebecca's family doesn't have too much going on, it is also an only child and her parents have been active in her life, not as great/caring as davids parents yet not uncaring either. rebecca really just lived with them her whole life and doesn't totally feel like it connected with its parents in any important way tbh

sunni ! so sunni grew up with only his mom and his sister and after the incident with carter (wait did i tell yall that was her name yet. thats the mutual best friends name in case i Didnt say that already <3) sunni's sister Mary ended up moving out with a friend and not keeping in touch with sunni or their mom again. she also changed her last name as soon as she legally could. but yeah so sunni doesn't have a very close relationship with his mom either and he has no relationship with his sister anymore which upests him a lot but he also keeps this close to him

and blair <3 so blair has 2 brothers (twins age 10 (i think)) named ben and bruno (named by My twin siblings so) and their parents are pretty bad. blair is very protective of their younger brothers and has been trying for a while to save up enough to move all of them out but hasn't quite yet. they fight really hard in the park to try and get out because they do not want to leave their brothers with out someone else to help and be there with them.

and i think thats it for a basic run over of all their families and the characters in general a bit <3 :)) feel free to ask any questions based on this post, the last post or like. literally anything <33 they are my passion project and i love BAP sooo very much <3

ur using my really shitty rebecca drawing ?!!! /pos <3

okay in my defense i have no other bap art with a purpley/blue coloring yet <3

Good food and good company

Brickwood Cafe PH is located at R. Santos Avenue, JS Ville Subdivision, Habay 1, Bacoor City. They offer wide variety of food with a good prices.

They offer food such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, merienda, snack, chips, salad and even deserts. They have wide variety of food choices that will make your tummy full.

I'm also fascinated by their amenities, the place itself screams elegance and it is perfect for those who love taking pictures because their restaurant have a aesthetic type of environment.

Staff in the place are very accommodating and friendly. The length of time that you will wait in your order is reasonable. In just 10-15 minutes your order will be served.

It was April when we come to the place. They have good food but I'm really amazed by the staff for being friendly.

Nevertheless, we ordered Java rice with chicken, carbonara with garlic bread and roasted chicken, red lemon, and iced coffee. The carbonara was really good, the sauce is giving, and the iced coffee is really delicious.

And last but not the least, aside from the food, I'm really happy because I got the chance to spend this day with my loved ones. If there is one thing that I will be grateful is that I got the chance to eat good food and got the chance to spend my time with the one who truly love and understand me.

Australia Warns of Crucial Monetary Dangers to Insurers and Banks From Local weather Change

Australia’s worsening local weather change may even see insurance coverage firms and banks withdraw their companies from communities weak to excessive occasions, doubtlessly triggering “cascading results” throughout the financial system, a brand new authorities report warned. The federal government launched its first Nationwide Local weather Threat Evaluation on Tuesday, highlighting 11 precedence areas which have been at “vital danger” from local weather change, together with water safety, agriculture and financial resilience. The evaluation confirmed that pressures on Australia’s monetary system from a surge in climate-related catastrophe claims may result in a “believable worst-case state of affairs” whereby insurers and lenders pull out of extremely uncovered communities. “Such a shock within the native monetary system might have cascading results on infrastructure and the constructed surroundings,” the report mentioned. That might create “vulnerabilities in varied communities with additional potential flow-on impacts or pressures on different techniques resembling well being and social assist and first trade and meals.” Australia has already seen a surge in insurance coverage premiums partly because of repeated pure disasters, together with intensive wildfires and flooding. The evaluation additionally warned of broader worldwide risks to Australia’s financial system because of local weather change, together with surges in migration from badly affected areas in addition to disruptions to worldwide commerce routes. The federal government will now use the evaluation to seek the advice of on an adaption plan to mitigate the “nationally vital, bodily local weather dangers” which have been introduced within the report, Assistant Minister for Local weather Change and Power Jenny McAllister mentioned in a press release. {Photograph}: Smoke from bushfires at Coolagite on the New South Wales coast on Oct. 3, 2023.

Beehive Inn

10 Millbrook Road

Southampton

SO15 0JZ

Established in the 1830’s under the proprietorship of George Evans, the Beehive Inn operated as a beer house until it was granted a full license on March 8th 1960. This license was subsequently surrendered on November 21st 1977, and the building, situated near Four Posts Hill, was demolished to make way for modern housing.

Early 20th-century records indicate private ownership of the establishment. In January 1920, the then landlord, W. Kimber, was fined £20 for serving alcoholic beverages outside of permitted hours. By 1934, the pub had come under the ownership of Brickwood's Brewery, and in 1971, it was acquired by the Whitbread Group.
