On the morning of the knife fight I was scheduled to lose, I washed myself in the ritual soap and dressed in soft, loose fitting clothes as was the custom. I would not break my fast until after the deed was done.
My second ferried me to the entry point at the North, where I declared my secret name to the gatekeeper and several acolytes in quick succession. They prepared me for the inner sanctum, infusing my veins with salt water and drawing intricate sigils on my chest. I bid farewell to my second, who would keep vigil outside. I remember very little after this, but when I awoke, I felt a great weight had been lifted from my chest.

Anyway, the top surgery yesterday went great!

Fishuary Day #06 - Plecostomus! I'm a day late but I was really looking forward to this prompt, since I used to own a Common Pleco growing up, he was my favorite fish and I still miss him. Hopefully he is getting lots of yummy algae in the great big blue of the fish afterlife 💙🌊
Thanks to @fish-daily for the prompts 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟
These are the two best pictures I have of Spider-Fish, the Plecostomus I had growing up. He lived a long and happy life in a very big tank with many friends and lots of yummy wafers.

I mean wukong has to know how absolutely insane macaque is about him right!??? Right?
Oh god imagine if he didnt and made a comment regarding that, and absolutely everyone just stares at him
oh you mean Sun Wukong the Monkey King? the same guy who is known to struggle with communication and confront personal and vulnerable topics? the same guy who was not aware that his bestest and closest friend blamed him for many events that transpired between them until said bestie snapped? the same monkey who is constantly criticized and berated by MK’s closest friends/family and does nothing to refute it? the same Wukong who struggles to apologize to MK because he feared that his student (more than a student now, they’re friends, they could be family—) might also lash out or not give him a second chance to make up for it? the same Wukong who, despite being an incredibly observant guy, struggles with establishing amiable bonds with others?
that Wukong?
