Thinkin' abt DadBod!Miguel at the gym <3

You'd been going to the gym routinely, or at least trying to. You decided to go after working up the courage and convincing yourself that this was just for fun. That your body was your temple, and you were tending to it, no matter how it looked <3

The first week wasn't so bad. After embarrassingly tripping on equipment or accidentally dropping weights here and there, it was alright! Though at times, it was still difficult to stay consistent, until one day, you saw him.

Over on the other side of the gym, curling some dumbbells (100s, mind you), was a total 6-foot, thick, hairy dream of a man. You first noticed his chiseled face adorned by fine lines, locks of black hair framing it. With each draw of the weights, his biceps bulged. Beads of sweat trickled down his bulky chest and wide shoulders. When your eyes wander downward, you're surprised to not find washboard abs.

Oh no, what you find instead excites you even more than any pack of abs could offer you.

Your mouth waters slightly to find that his tank top has ridden up slightly over his hefty belly, graciously allowing a peek at a happy trail, its path sadly blocked by some basketball shorts (his cute bubble butt and giant dick print made up for it tho).

Despite his low, breathy grunts and intense crimson gaze towards his own reflection, he was making it look easy. You thought about how easy it'd probably be for him to carry you bride-style and throw you onto a bed before spreading your legs with those enormous hands so he could feast until your eyes crossed. Or how it'd be effortless for him to hold you tightly with your legs wrapped around that stocky midsection of his while he bullied his-

"'scuse me, you waiting for this bench?" a deep voice snaps you out of a daydream. You see the man is now looking at you with what looks like a knowing smirk. Fuck, he noticed you staring.

"Oh! N-no, was just looking for the 10s!" You blurt, evoking a velvety chuckle and dashing smile from him.

"Right over there." He motions with his chin toward the weight rack where the 10s are obviously displayed. After you thanked him, He smiled and nodded back to you, turning back toward the mirror to do his last set.

The second week felt like no problem. Instead of dragging yourself to the gym, you looked forward to it, scanning for your new gym crush every time you entered.

You'd feel a lil surge of happiness when you do find him there, feeling brave enough to exchange smiles and sometimes even little waves from across the gym. One time, the older man made you swoon when he winked at you upon entering the gym. After seeing your cute reaction, this would be how he greeted you every time.

The third week came You're at the squat rack, feeling stronger than usual, so you opt to go the heaviest you've ever gone. Big mistake. By the third rep, you fail to get back up, panicking and legs shaking. Just when you feel yourself start to fall, you see a pair of hands dart toward the bar from behind you, lifting it with ease and allowing you to stand back up. The bar is re-racked and you turn to find gym bae.

"You okay?" he gently prompts, a worried look on his face.

"Yes, thank you... think I might've gone too heavy." you nervously chuckle. He does as well, seeing that you're alright.

"Next time you go for a PR, you need to ask for a spotter, hun." He gives you that dashing smile again, his hands on his love handles.

"Yeah, I probably should've," you lower your head in defeat, "I didn't bring anyone with me though."

"You could've asked me," He says matter of factly as if it should've been obvious that he should be the one to spot you. "I would've done it with no problem, mama." His pet names make your womanhood pulse.

You look back up at him, your lips curled into a shy smile.

"C'mon, let's try again." "No, no, mama, I got that, I'll put it away for you." "Keep your knees like this-theeeere you go. "Gimme one more, mama, just one more, you can do it." "Atta girl! Good job, mamita."

You learned that his name is Miguel. He'd become your designated spotter on leg days, the sensation of his larger frame against yours making you nervous in the best way.

Your favorite is when his tummy accidentally brushes against your back, and borderline, your ass, and if not his tummy, it'd be his prominent bulge (which isn't there bc he gets to spot the adorable girl with an amazing ass from the gym... totally not that).

On the Fourth week, Miguel would ask you if you wanted to be workout buddies altogether. Of course, you accept, in which he asks for your number so like that, he can text you when he's going and vice versa.

It's the fifth week, and you both have worked out together a couple times already. Miguel texted you in the morning asking if you'd like to join him, which you were totally down for.

You two started with lateral pull-downs. Once it was your turn, you sat on the machine and reached for the handle, pulling it as you began your set.

Anytime you felt like you wanted advice or correction, Miguel eagerly helped you.

His hands would stay on your waist, his warm breath tickling your ear. "Mhm, there you go, you're doin' so good, mama." He praises in almost a whisper.

If only he knew he was making the exercise only harder. As if that weren't enough, his finger would occasionally message your hip. Your bodies were so close that you were able to hear each satisfied hum from his lips, suggesting you were doing the exercise right.

"Good girl, that was better. You feel it now?" He says, letting go to let you off the machine.

"Yeah, thank you! When it comes to upper body, I'll need all the help I can get. I'm just glad I’m getting it from an upper-body master." You flirtatiously add, playfully poking at one of his biceps.

This makes him blush, but only for a moment before he returns with a cocky response, "Thanks, hun. I'm glad to be working out with a leg-day goddess."

Now it was your turn to blush, except you didn't have any smart comeback, boosting Miguel's ego.

"Listen, let me treat you to smoothie after this, yeah?" He says it more like a statement than a request, and you happily oblige.

What you were expecting was a simple, cheap smoothie from a spot you usually go to, but instead, you're met with a drive-thru menu listing shakes from $20 and up. Oh he got moneyyyy.

Miguel tells you to pick any that looks good to you. He orders for himself and you as well, parking the car once the two of you get the smoothies.

As he sips from the cup, you take the opportunity to subtly glance at his figure, his muscles, how his pecs sit beautifully on top of his soft belly, his thighs constrained by the confines of his gym shorts. You think how badly you wanna sit there, grinding on the print 'til there was a wet spot-

"Something on your mind, mama?" You look back at him, taking a few seconds to register his words.

You hastily look back down at your drink and shake your head, “Nothing… thank you so much for this, it’s delicious!”

then he grabs the shoulder of your chair to lean toward you, “Of course, mama, but I don’t think you’re being completely truthful with me, hm?”

You look at him, playfully shaking your head again, knowing full well you’ve been caught.

“What’s in that pretty lil head of yours, hm? dime.” He puts the smoothie into the cup holder to free his other hand, placing it on your thigh, and softly squeezes it. “Just say the word, and you’ll get anything you want.”

Your lips curl slyly as you think of a response.

“Well… we never did cardio.”

Now you were here in his car, being bounced on his fat dick on the passenger seat, holding onto his his big shoulders for dear life. You were basically his fleshlight at this point… with those big hands.

You could feel his body now taut against yours, your tits bouncing relentlessly, his muscled, thick thighs below your ass, his balls slapping against your pussy lips, his bush tickling your clit, his pelvis pushing your ass up and his curved belly against your front side. It all was sending you into euphoria.

With you vigorously bouncing on his cock and his beautiful moaning, you fully let go. “Aw yes, Daddy,“ you mumbled without thinking.

In fact, you couldn’t think at all. All you knew was this fat cock and your pussy was memorizing all its veins and curves.

“Mmfuck baby, yea, say that again f’me”, he groaned through gritted teeth as he mercilessly bounced you down his painfully hard shaft.

“Please, Daddy, please!” You whined with your hands desperately seeking support on his big shoulders.

You can feel the sheet of sweat on his belly and on his thighs, which turned the smacking of your ass sound even more lewd.

“Fuck, say it again.” He growled, getting faster now.

“Mmmm, Daddy— Daddy, pleaseeee.”

“Louder, baby, c’mon—“

“UNGH DADDYYYY”

“Oh FUCK… you wanted cardio, baby, I’ll give you cardio… fuckin’ take it… coño.” Your panting became synchronized with every pound of his cock into your abused and bruised cunt, getting higher and higher in pitch, firing him up to go faster and harder.

“Gonna cum on this fat cock, right? Gonna cum f’me, mami?” He ordered, dropping octaves from his usual gentle tone with you.

“Mmmnn, Nnyesyyesyesyes—“ you babbled, the shakiness of your voice the result of the aggressive bouncing.

“Ah… carajo…” his cock accidentally slips out from your cunt, making you wince from the sudden empty sensation, “ungh!”

Holding up your ass, he takes a moment to admire the view, hissing from the sight of his angrily red cock and veins pulsing from your cunt sucking him in so deliciously. A ring of your cream erotically placed at the base of his length, just above his perfect bush. He guides his fat tip back to your dripping cunt using his thumb, pushing it back into your swollen folds.

He was back to ramming into your abused cunt in no time, chasing each others high’s.

“C’mon…fuck, c’mon, mama, you’re almost there…. Aw f-fuck… almost there…” he moans with his brows knitted and through a clenched jaw.

“Daddy I’m g’na— I’m cummingimcummingimcumming—“

“Aw, fuck, asi— asi mami— ah, ah…” Miguel holds back choked whines as he get closer, not allowing himself to let go until he knew you came first.

You speak in gibberish before crying into your climax, Miguel letting out a long, exasperated groan when he reaches his. You can feel his hot cum overfilling you, making you whine as it leaks down your thigh.

After draining himself completely, making sure every drop was in you, he gently pulls out, “Fuck… you did so good for me, mama… so good.”

Miguel lets you rest against his heaving chest and soft belly, rubbing your back as you caught your breath. You smiled a tired smile when you notice how hard Miguel is breathing as well, knowing you worked him out, too.

“You ok, mamita?” He plants a tender kiss on your shoulder, making a trail up your neck and finally to your forehead.

“Mhm,” you hum, you look up at him and are met with his plump, wet lips, tongues becoming entangled with each other as he groans into your mouth.

“I say… we do cardio like this every day.”

A/n: Haiii, I hope u liked it <3 Love my man sm <3 None of my gym baes could ever compare to himmmmm😭😭😭

@angel-of-the-moons Ty Ty Ty my luv for planting the seed in my head <3

i NEED something with dom!taehyun 😣 i never see much of taehyun! even tho he's such a cutie 🤭

warnings: gagging, fingering, use of pet names, degradation kink but also praise from taehyun, squirting

note: he truly is a cutie, after lolla especially, lord 😵‍💫 it’s when he’s on stage do i find him the most attractive ..respectfully kang taehyun can gag me all night for all i care!!

Talked about this before but swear Taehyun would love having you choke on his dick, doesn’t matter how big he is, he’ll have you stay down to your nose squashed against his abdomen, his hands on the back of your head, gripping your hair of which your scalp is burning, gargling and teary eyed—with absolutely no emotion on his face. He keeps his composure, looking down at you, not having to be a man of many words for you to feel like dirt on his feet, a dirty whore only for his use, it’s so degrading and embarrassing… and you love it. When he lets you pull away from his dick out of your mouth, you cough up a storm, your vision near blurring trying to get your breathing back as you look up from your position, sprawled on the floor— and he smirks, the only emotion you manage to get out of him so far. Using his index finger to lift your chin up and meet his eyes, he pouts and you think he’d shoot you a praise to work with, “You couldn’t last just thirty more seconds?

“Dumb kitty.” Of course not. With his black framed glasses propped on the tip of his nose, his chin raised high like you truly were a dumb pet, the uncomfortable feeling of wetness welcomes itself between your thighs.

Likes the feeling of forcing fingers inside, spreading your lips so far apart you’re crying for him to stop, especially when he goes as far as to graze his teeth against your clit, the pain far too overwhelming. “Safe word angel, and I’ll stop.”

He says because he knows you like it all too much, the way the pain bleeds into the pleasure, you could barely tell the difference with it clouding your mind. When you don’t respond with what you agreed upon, he tries to force a third finger in, whispering with his mouth near the shell of your ear. “Know you can take one more princess, ease up.”

The painful stretch of three in you has you whimpering, legitimately all red in the face as you feel him move inside of you, adjusting his fingers, experimenting. “Good girl, look at your pussy swallowing in my fingers, it’s like you’re made for it.”

Also, definitely likes fucking in front of a mirror so he does have you actually look at the way his fingers disappear into your sopping cunt, then back out. If you’re lucky, could get a few more words from him, quiet groans from the back of his throat as he watches you fall apart on his fingers, “Fuck, so tight.”

Taehyun would have you naked from head to toe, while he’s still clothed, holding a vibrator against your clit to the point of overstimulation, your throat sore and your face ruined— mascara running down, your pupils blown out, hair plastered onto your forehead from sweat, nose runny and red. Has you squirting on the sheets, warm liquid spurting everywhere, embarrassingly making you mewl, your cheeks turning red, “I told you I had to go!” you whine into your arms, trying to hide your face while completely turning your body away from him. This was by far the most embarrassment you’ve felt; you feel like you’ve just ruined the mood.

But Taehyun…lord he’s a freak and do I die by that statement. Has his hands on your knees before completely spreading your legs for him. You don’t even know what he’s doing before you feel his nose against your clit, breath fanning against your skin. “Taehyun what-“

Not another word before the feeling of Taehyun’s tongue, warm wet muscle licking up your folds, drinking what he could get from your pussy like a starved man.

#id recommend tyunkus & koqabear for quality taehyun content as i am CLEARLY lacking 😭#my apologies to the taehyun stans 🥲#txt smut #txt hard hours #txt hard thoughts #taehyun smut #taehyun hard thoughts #taehyun hard hours #🌷. rana thoughts

Hi, hi, hello, I am here once again to sound absolutely insane while arguing something buddie, this time from Buck's side because I haven't done one on him in a while. I think this is a Buck needs to choose defense, but who knows really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, I've talked about this before, but Oliver is a really big guy, he's taller than the rest of the cast so we don't see Buck looking up a whole lot. In conversations where Buck would be in a more vulnerable position, they put all of the involved sitting down so they are on the same eye level, when he tells Abby about the catfish guy, when he talks to Maddie after the bombing, when he talks to Maddie after Red dies, when he finds out about Daniel, when he talks to Maddie after the thing with Jonah, when he talks to Bobby after the lightning.

Or they're both standing up, when he talks to Bobby before he quits before the tsunami, when he talks to Bobby after the lawsuit, when he tells Bobby he is one of the most important people in his life, when he tells Eddie about the fight with his parents, when he talks to Bobby after the crane, when he’s helping Eddie fix the walls (as I was typing this I noticed the trend of having him sitting down with Maddie and standing up with Bobby, which makes sense considering how much shorter than Oliver Jennifer is and how Oliver and Peter are just a few inches apart).

Or they have Buck being the only one standing up, or just at a higher level, so that he has the high ground in sense, when he tells the 118 about the thing with Daniel, when he yells at his parents, when he talks to Maddie after he messes up with Red, when he breaks up with Taylor, but it is a trend to not have him look up at people. (All of these have more examples, I just didn't feel like screenshotting every major Buck scene lol)

People he does look up to in vulnerable moments, moments actually end up leading to a fight? Ali and Taylor. He looks up at Ali when she's talking about not understanding what the job means and when he tells Taylor he kissed someone else. So he looks up at his love interests. Before a fight, but still looking up. Ali is the most intense example I could find in my quick skimming of the scenes I could think of, but since Taylor is standing up and he's sitting down, it counts.

This does nothing for my point but I do want to point it out. He looks up at Eddie before the confrontation at the gym lol. Sure that ends with Buck towering over Eddie, but it starts with him looking up at him and fits the trend (or actually starts it? Considering this happens before Ali or Taylor lol).

I could be wrong here, maybe there are other moments where he's looking up and I just can't think of them right now, but Eddie is pretty much the only person he consistently looks up to, when he clears with Bobby for Chris to stay at the station (not about him but he's looking up), the Hildy incident (this one is just funny but it happens), when he tells Eddie it would’ve been better if he had been shot, after Chim leaves to look for Maddie, after he dies. And it's interesting to have those last two scenes because he's going to Eddie for advice and they decided to literally have him look up at Eddie.

Conversations with Eddie fit all types of categories when it comes to the two of them because they are best friends, just focus on these ones tho (you can read this for thoughts on framing in multiple scenes tho)

"But Anna you've said this before in at least 3 different posts already" I know, I know, and I have a point, I promise.

I like taking season 6 knowledge and recontextualizing the previous seasons. What does Buck want in season 6? Answers. From the dude at the happiness convention to “I’m the guy with the answers, I kinda like that”. But it’s not crazy to say that Buck has been looking for whatever this answer is his whole life, but the main thing is that Buck keeps looking for answers outside of what he already has, the choice he makes is to look for something else to make things make sense and for someone else to tell him so he can pretend he's not responsible for the consequences. There’s a whole other discussion here and I was talking about this yesterday, but Buck doesn’t really make choices in his life (bisexual king 🫶), he fell into firefighting, he tripped into every relationship he had, he didn’t pick his apartment, he still hasn’t picked a couch.

Okay, but why does that relate to the whole looking-up thing? I don’t know if this makes sense, but I think in a way he expects Eddie to have the answers in a way that’s a bit, not excessive, but like, bordering on too much? Like, for example, the way he takes what Eddie tells him before the tsunami and runs with it, the whole just move on thing that he is still doing (I’m kinda fascinated about the way that the end of the cemetery conversation gives the same message that Eddie tried to push onto him there and we all know how that ended for Eddie), the whole “somehow we manage to just suck it up, why can’t you?” and “a lot of I’s in there” and “you’re making it about you? again?” that does make Buck act as if having feelings about traumatic events means he’s making it about himself, makes him selfish, that makes him act as if he needs just to push through. He keeps following Eddie’s lead at all times. And I think that is something that needs to be addressed in some way before they can have a relationship. I do think post-lawsuit Eddie is trying, post-therapy Eddie is trying even harder to not lead them wrong or dismiss Buck’s feelings, and if Eddie asked Buck out, chances are he would say yes, but it would leave the question of whether he’s just following Eddie’s lead. Because Buck keeps tripping into relationships. We don't see him ask anyone out, we don't see Buck make the decision. The only way to fight this is to have Buck be the one to march to Eddie and go “I want this, do you want me?” and hope he’s doing the right thing while knowing he is the one who went for it.

And like, I don’t really think Eddie would ask Buck, not for lack of wanting, but because he runs from fights he’s not sure he can win, dude retreats back to safety like no one else, and taking a leap with Buck is not safe. But, hey, we’re supposed to believe Buck is the one who keeps running into unsafe situations, so sure, have Buck do it.

And I think the cemetery can be used as a start for that, because Buck keeps trying to get Eddie to tell him what to do, he keeps looking at Eddie and waiting for him to just give him the answers, but Eddie already retreated from the fight, he’s all “whatever you say, bud” so Buck thinks he’s doing something Eddie agrees on, but what Eddie wants is the opposite, the shift in the way Eddie is handling that conversation is really obvious and to have Buck go against it could be used in an interesting way.

And the cemetery scene itself opposes the whole looking-up thing because Eddie refuses to keep looking at Buck while Buck keeps poking him to get him to look. Buck is all “*tugging on his sleeve* tell me I'm right tell me I'm right tell me I’m right” and Eddie is all “you’re right buddy *narrators voice* he doesn’t think he’s right at all”.

And Eddie is locked out of making changes in the relationship in a sense, because Buck basically told him “this woman is the one” so why would he risk the friendship when Buck has made it clear what he wants? In Eddie's head, it's a fight that's already lost, so why would he jeopardize the part of the relationship he does have for something he thinks is hopeless?

But Buck doesn’t have that, I think right now, the power is in Buck’s hands, Buck needs to realize he has it and Buck needs to make the choice to use it.

Mr. Human Calculator I Have The Answers Now needs to accept that life has a level of unpredictability and go for it anyway. Start fighting the current he put himself in and getting the things he does wants not the things he thinks he should want.

Random rant about the cemetery if you feel like reading my thoughts on that.

Random post about Buck, water, and the way he just goes with it forever and ever.

Shorter post about why Buck needs to choose.

I immediately need a little bit more info on Nont and Nant and how come Nont effortlessly started investigation without hindrance. There are certain things that are going around my head:

Did Nont and Nant live apart? Did Nant never mention his twin Infront of the group? 'cause how come they have no idea about him having a brother. They also brushed off the possibility of twins interchanging positions (which is what it is), "this is not a thriller fiction movie" huh? Also they never even mentioned about Nant's family other than his politician mom to the police. Is this their birth mom? Or a step mom? Or did their parents separated and the dad took in Nont and mom took in Nant?

Who is the dad? Is he in the police department? Who asked Nont to do this? Or is helping Nont to do this? 'cause how come the police is not going after him asking for information? We didn't get a single scene where he gets interrogated. How come a politician's son going missing and coming back not a big news to them? Did they never investigate about Nant having a twin? How come an information like that stays hidden? Or the police is involved in this? I mean helping Nont carry out investigation without anyone getting alerted. Makes sense. Also he is pretty much documenting everything. So is the dad in the police ??

What debt was Prom referring to? Who were chasing Nant? Did THEY kill him? If not will they go after Nont thinking he is Nant? Why was he sending clips to captain? Just for the money? Why did he delete the chats completely?

I have so many questions and almost zero answers lol. Also, imagine Nont falls for Prom, like head over heels, and later finds out he is very much involved in the disappearance of his brother. Oh God.

Let me answer your questions the best I can, my fellow investigator 😌

THE TWINS

This hasn't being mention in the show but it was mentioned in their character descriptions, Nont and Nant got separate as kids due to their parents divorcing. Nant stayed in Thailand with their mother while Nont was forced to go overseas with their dad. Them being separated could explain why no one in the group knew about Nont.

During their interrogation, the Baddie Bunch comments that they all met during freshman year, so merely two years ago. They knew he had a brother tho. They didn't get surprised about it when Nont (faking being Nant) in EP1 told them that "I went to see my dad and brother".

So Nant trusted them with the information of what his family was like, but brushed over the twin info.

THE DAD

We have 0 info about this man. He's important enough to be able to move himself and one of his kids out of the country, but that's about it.

Their dad, for what Nont has revealed to us, is in fact whom send him to investigate.

Mind you, the police interrogated the Baddie Bunch BEFORE Nont made his entrance through the glass door, they comment about it on EP1. We just got to see it in EP2. So probably, once the Nont came around, the police dismissed the case. They probably ask Nont a few questions, to the father too, and due to them working together, got the police to back off. The police probably dismissed the case as a runaway whom came back.

I'm sus about the dad's intentions tho. He already knows something fishy is going on and he prefers to send his other son to investigate. Maybe he doesn't want an scandal... But why? And why risk your other son investigating this? Is it that damaging?

THE DEBT

For what I could understand due to the circumstances, after Nant's mom became ill, they fastly went into debt.

This puts more sus on their father for me. Why not help your ex-wife even if is only to make sure your other son is doing okey? You clearly "care" for him now.

I need to go see the message with Captain about the clips and if there's any timestamp on the transfers Prom gave Nant to have a timeline, but all this was going on most probably when the twins' mom was ill. Remember, Nant went missing AFTER her death. Is the time frame Nont had to make an excuse.

Medical bills can get expensive (thank you Spain for free healthcare at all levels u_u), so that being the reason of the debt wouldn't surprise me. But I also think there's more going on.

Maybe Nant got money first from creditors and then was using Prom and Captain's money to pay said creditors. We still don't know for sure.

I'm 75% conceive that Nant is dead, I just don't know if it was accidental, homicide, murder or suicide. The four possibilities exist.

He indeed was sending the clips for money, but looks like he was finding himself as well as he delved deeper into kink and creating content.

The chat deletion could have being Nant desperate to erase his path escaping from someone... Or the culprit trying to erase their involvement. Nont only looked into the clean chat with Captain, but there's more info he didn't check.

MAY I ADD HERE: there's a drug storyline that hasn't started yet, but I'm more than certain that Nant also began experimenting with drugs, so that could be another reason.

I hope that answered your questions, dear ✨

Luka ou!

hi! do you know where and how i can get hd footages of post quali or post race moments to make gifs please?

Hiya 👋🏻

This got a bit long so i'm putting it under a cut

F1TV Pro has the press conferences (unless blocked in some countries) and race replays with pre and post shows.

They aren't part of the race replays so check out the "shows and analysis" on the site

If you can't get it in your country you might still be able to do so if you register with VPN but i've never had to try that so i'm not sure.

If you'd need a free option, i'm not sure that exists and unforch following this sport and seeing content in good quality takes money 🙈

I've seen some mentions (tho it was a long time ago and might have changed since) that there's a way to download videos from F1TV but i'm not big brained enough to know how so i don't do that

Instead, i use a screen recorder and good news is that there's a great option, OBS Studio, available for free. Bad news is that it's a bit of a hassle to set up at first but you only gotta do it once and then you don't have to look at the settings again. It's popular so there's lots of helpful info and tutorials on youtube etc about the program that even if it looks complicated at first, you're probs able to set it up after a while.

So i go to F1TV, go to the part of the video i want, open it full screen and best quality, then start recording. In terms of quality, screen recording is never gonna be as good as actually downloading the video, but sometimes dl isn't possible so recording is the second best option, it's quick and you only clip the parts you want instead of having a large file downloaded only to use 5 seconds of it 😅

And then i go to Photoshop and make the gifs 🙌🏻

One thing i wanna note is that OBS and PS are both quite heavy programs so a lightweight computer with not much ram/storage might not be able to run them smoothly. My laptop is pretty solid but i still always use OBS first, close it and then open PS. If i have too many things open and running at the same time it can make the record jumpy and skip frames and the recorded video won't be smooth.

And then of course sometimes F1 posts some pre/post race stuff on their socials and then those can be downloaded by using free downloaders (ig/twitter/tiktok you can find bunch of options by googling, for youtube i prefer 4k Video Downloader)

Anyways hopefully some of this was helpful! I'm sure there are different ways to do this but this has so far worked for me 😌

pls talk about the shelf

i was desperately hoping someone would ask me to rant abt it akehdjshd i'm kissing you sweetly on the forehead anon

okay so if anyone sees this out of context: i have a shelf in my bookcase dedicated to hannibal. yes it's kind of like a weird little shrine but leave me alone.

be warned this is going get LONG.

so, it has the obvious: the hannibal books, the tv show box set, the tv show's cookbook, my fancy copies of the divine comedy (they're hardcover with gorgeous sleeves that have art printed on them to match each book), and i also have the iliad and the odissey in there in a single big book that i bought on a whim when out once and then after buying it i found out it also had the original greek alongside the italian translation and i lost my mind. i've never felt such pure joy and i can't even read greek. yet.

as for decorations, as of right now there's a piece of driftwood that is kinda shaped like an L so it stands up on its own and it also kinda resembles an antler.

there's this fuckin box, i don't even remember how i got it, but it's made of bones. it's shaped kinda like a stereotypical treasure chest but it's literally made of bones. the inside is lined with red velvet.

i'm not sure what else to decorate with? i've put in a seashell but it can't even be seen because the shelf has glass doors but the shell is covered by the frame (might move everything to another shelf where the frame is not in the way tbh just so i can decorate with tiny things at the front).

i just moved this whole thing from my other bookcase (i just got this new one today because i have too many books and in my first bookcase the shelves are literally bending with the weight of the books piled up on them) and when it was there i also had a teacup in there along with a lighbox that says "bone saw time! 🖤" but this new shelf feels very elegant and there's also not enough space for the lightbox. i also had a bust of dionysus there but i'm going to move it to my dionysus altar.

i've got an old scalpel somewhere too and i'll try to find a visible spot to put it. i also have 3 tiny japanese plates that were all given to me as gifts and some souvenirs from japan from a friend too but idk if i wanna put japanese stuff in there. like it's fitting but at the same time idk if it's disrespectful or not.

if i had money and more space i'd make this whole thing bigger and get like. a little frame with fly fishing lures like the ones will made in the show and maybe something like some ethically sourced taxidermy. a snake skeleton and a mongoose skull would be really cool. maybe i could print out a little something with lures instead of buying real ones and like. a fake death's head hawkmoth taxidermy. i'd need some of those shadowbox frames and i'd make it so the pictures stand out a bit from the back so it looks like they have shadows. bc like i'm fairly certain real death's head hawkmoths cannot be ethically sourced at this point in time because ever since silence of the lambs came out people have started going insane over them.

i think my grandpa has this framed thing somewhere with sailing knots made with actual ropes in it rather than just pictures. haven't seen it in ages so i'm not sure anymore if it was my grandpa's or someone else's. probably my grandpa since he was in the marines when military service was mandatory in italy but idk maybe i saw it somewhere else. i could print out a small picture with various illustrations of sailing knots.

i also have these cards that my aunt gave me at one point that have prints of a lot of famous paintings with descriptions in the back and i THINK one was the primavera. it was either that or the birth of venus i'll have to check but either way there's at least one botticelli in there. i don't like botticelli much tho so 🤷

i plan at some point to also get physical copies of all the movies but idk when that'll be since i've found a different box set for the tv show with gorgeous covers that i plan to buy as well. also of the ones i currently own i think one of the dvds stopped working bc it got scratched while inside my pc because i was pausing and rewinding/forwarding too much. we'll see i guess.

now for the rest of the books. i have a medical book in there called the abc of the human body. i think the title is kind of hilarious for a hannibal shelf. i just found out today while moving books back and forth from one bookshelf to the other that i actually have two copies of this book and one of them was owned by a doctor that died i think like 15 to 20 years ago. i have a few other medical books that said doctor also owned on the shelf above. he also owned the scalpel i mentioned before.

there's the book skulls by simon winchester, which is a collection of pictures of skulls from one of the biggest skull collections in the world, along with a few inserts on biology if i remember correctly? i originally bought it for art references and i LOVE the cover so i made sure it was facing forward in the shelf.

there's the resurrectionist, which is a sci-fi/fantasy book kind of in a frankenstein-esque vein where the main character is this made up doctor who manages to make some mythological creatures through surgery & digging up dead bodies and i won't spoil it any further. the second half of the book is a whole bunch of medical/biology style illustrations of said creatures, their skeletons, their muscles, how certain parts of their bodies would function (for example i believe it goes into explaining the lungs for both mermaids and harpies). i don't think it quite fits thematically with hannibal but i think it's got The Vibe so i put it in there.

there's a book on saint lucy, who is the patron saint of sight. i have it because i was born with my skull being asymmetrical and the doctors immediately told my family it would likely cause problems with my eyes, and so instead of, you know, starting to take me to eye doctors from a young age, they swore me to saint lucy and left it at that. i'm likely going to go blind on my left eye at some point in my life btw lmao thanks st lucy <3 i do like her though. i like her iconography a lot, she's always portrayed as holding a plate with her eyes on it.

there's damien by hermann hesse, which is one of my all time favourite books. it's written in first person and it starts with emil sinclair's childhood, explaining that he sees the world in a very black and white way, and does so very literally because he speaks of the world of light and the world of darkness, which are kind of meant as good and evil. but then something happens to him that starts blurring the clear line he thought was between the two, which sends him into a moral panic until he meets max demian, who starts to make him see that there's more to both sides. the story as he grows up follows his "corruption" into someone who is neither good nor evil. it has a lot of implied homoeroticism, as it was written i think either in the 20s or the late 1800s so it couldn't be explicit but it is very much there and is expressed mostly through demian's mother. there's also a weird cult thing going on and the ending is a bit ??? and honestly i need to read it again because for such a short book SO much happens that i'm having a hard time summarising it accurately.

the only other books i remember being there rn (it's 1am i'm not turning the lights on again) are dracula, because cannibal/vampire count with a big castle, the butchering art, and les fleurs du mal, plus two other books written in french that i haven’t read yet because my french isn't the best, whose titles i don't remember rn, and one in italian that i've found at a used books stall once but i believe it's from a local author and i've never seen it in a bookstore nor online so there's definitely no english translation of it. i still haven't read this one either and i don't even remember what it's about, it might be a poetry book? not quite sure. but yeah these few ones i haven’t read are there like. on trial. if i read them and find them fitting they'll stay otherwise they go to another shelf. i also haven’t read les fleurs du mal nor the butchering art yet, so the same applies to them. i think that's all of them? i plan to put my art history books and regular history books on the shelf above as well next to the medical books to kind of carry the theme over lol.

i would like to maybe someday get some of the books that we've glimpsed from the bookshelves on the show but this is it for now!

anyway. tysm for asking me about it dear anon. you said but a few words yet they meant the world to me <3

Hi, i’m kitty! I love Alternative Universe fanfics, so that anon’s request made me want to submit one, hope you guys enjoy 😊

Expecting

He had just arrived home after a long day of work, longing to see his girlfriend again, they had just moved in together a few months ago, after they found out she was expecting a baby of his. At first they were taken aback by the news, she already has three children, they had a big age gap, she wasn’t very young anymore (they actually had gotten more carefree about protection in the precedent months, as they thought a pregnancy would be highly unlikely). But after some weeks they couldn’t be more delighted about the event, the doctors reassured them everything would be alright with both her and the baby, he started a new promising job as an investment banker, and she was able to found a new teaching position in Paris to move in with him, besides that the whole family was super happy about a new member.

As he entered their room he found her laying down on the bed, wearing shorts and a tank top, her 5 months baby bump really showing on her small frame, she has always been really pretty, but in his opinion her pregnant state was the most divine like he had ever seen her.

“How was your day, chérie?” He asked sitting down beside her “It was good, but your baby kicked me all day and still hasn’t stopped, i’m really tired out” she replied softly with a smile, while gently caressing his cheek with one hand and her big belly with the other one

“Oh, it hasn’t stopped yet? Can i feel it?” he asked hopefully as he softly brushed his lips on hers.

“Of course!” she replied. He then proceeded to roll her tank top up and caress her round belly, feeling their baby kicking his hand hard as he gently stroked the full extent of his girlfriend’s stomach. They had decided to not find out their baby’s gender until birth, a happy and healthy child was all that mattered, they both thought (slightly hoping their kid would have his eyes and her nose tho)

“Hey baby, it’s your daddy” he said in soft voice, resting his head against her bump while she stroked his hair “I know you’ve been having lots of fun today, but your mommy really needs to rest, would you mind slowing down the rhythm just for a few hours tonight? So she can rest a bit. Your mommy and daddy already love you very much” he finished as he added several feather light kisses through her whole distended abdomen.

Even though he talked to her belly every night, she was always so touched by this interaction, he was an amazing boyfriend, and she always he would have been a good father, but she didn’t imagine that he’d be that good

“And daddy also loves mommy very much” he complemented as he kisses his gf’s lips very passionately and softly, only breaking apart when they needed fresh air

“How about we go shopping for some baby clothes tomorrow, after our sonogram appointment?” she asked still panting from their kiss

“I’d love to” he replied with a smile, his eyes full of love “But for tonight i think we should have a little fun ourselves now that the baby calmed a bit” he said maliciously as he searched her lips for a more intense, passionate and full of love kiss, that she reciprocated in the same intensity

Hello Kitty! And welcome to us! ❤️

Emmanuel talking to Brigitte’s bump... oh my heart! You just actually killed me with the sweetness of this 🥺 “hey baby, it’s your daddy”. No just goodbye, I will sob in a corner 🤧

Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it with us! Hope you continue! ❤️

ok. okokokokok. D/s lance thoughts (tho not the original anon). lance being Rich Boy means he can probably buy those big elaborate beds that have discreet hooks and rings on to tie you down (or tie you UP). having you blindfolded, tied to the bed, one of those paddles made with insanely expensive leather.... 👁👁👁 equally insanely expensive discreet collar necklace. (oultonparks again. sorry. JHDSJGSHG)

Sorry, didn’t mean to moan like that. My bad.

You can’t deny that Lance just ... oozes the vibes that he knows how to wreck you, and put you back together afterwards. All he needs to do is raise his eyebrow slightly to have you kneeling.

He pampers you. Makes sure that you have nothing but the best of the best. Yes, the inside of the collar is engraved with his pet name for you so that you’ll always have his endearment resting against your throat. You don’t even want to think about how much he’s spend on you already, but luckily, you don’t have to think a whole lot when he gets his hands on you.

To have him tie you up against the top hooks of the bed, your arms outstretched towards the frame above you, your legs tied to the rings at the bottom with slightly longer rope so you can spread yourself out beautifully for him ... Lance has you facing the pillows, not that it matters which way you’re facing, because you can’t see anything anyway because of the blindfold.

During play, you have a different collar. One that is a bit sturdier. One that he can pull to make you bend in any direction he wants you too without fear of breaking it. The discreet one is only for day to day use, after all, not for when he’s using you.

Actually, I can see him having two paddles. Only one of them is truly special, because that’s the one with a heart on it as well as his initials. You never know which one he’s going to use, and you won’t find out until he removes the blindfold, and you either see red streaks across your ass and thighs, or when you see little hearts and his mark staring back at you.

He tells you you’re not allowed to make a sound, but if you do, he’ll just shove two fingers into your mouth to press down on your tongue until you’re gagging around them.

However, he’s kind enough to unhook your arms, before bending you over into the pillows. Legs still bound, ass decorated from the paddle ... one of his hands pulling on your collar, and the other pressing down on those fresh marks as he fucks you rough and steady.

Truth be told, you always hope to see little hearts.

#the way i think about rich boy dom lance almost too much is .... saying something #also yes i keep getting back to him being an ass man #😭 i can't help it !!!#LS #nsfw.txt #dom!LS #oultonparks

(Tiredsleepytiredsleepyboredtiredsleepyboredsleepy—)

Right HELLO! I been out for a few days haha sorry ya missed me! Saturday’s my off day and I went to an art museum yesterday to see my works! (And the many others) Also been working on my hair a lot this weekend and stuff to get it done and out the way for the next month, so sorry I’m late! But I’m here now!

So! In regards to your ✨wonderful✨ tale of Whispering Willow, how about some Corey lore?! (I know I’m going for like all most abstract guys lol I was gonna make a joke in regards to fractions but later—) Half dead, ALSO BETRAYED BY HIS TEAM! Big brain enough to have a potion on hand tho! Ôwô

Was it in cold blood this time!? It sure smells like cold blood bro. No way that was fraud or frame or lies!! HIS TEAM LEFT HIM FOR DEAD!! AHHHHHHHHHH I CANT!

(But gosh dang I hope I’m wrong at the same time lol. Also writers block utterly terminated! Yeah! Random Bonus question too tho: anything ur working on currently? Just school or something more? If it’s a secret that’s cool of course, but if it’s shareable I’d like to know! :D Oki I’ll buzz off now lol I need to finish an essay before I get marked down ^^” keep being awesome as always! Love ya Bun! <333)

Sorry for how long it took to answer this!!! I’ve been busy too >w<

Tw for gore, because Corey DEFINITELY didn’t get away unscathed!!!

Cory’s story isn’t super complex, they mostly just wanted to provide for their family!

Corey was an adventurer for hire, in simplest terms. He would go and join other adventuring teams for short quests. They never really stuck with a single group for longer than one or two quests, always on the move, and only taking a fairly small cut of the reward as compensation. Corey’s mentality is that others have families they need to feed too, he doesn’t need as much for his small family than others may need for theirs. His family consists of his mother and his little sister. he loves them dearly. Corey knows the work they do is dangerous, but he genuinely enjoys what he does, and is the main breadwinner of his family.

When Corey was betrayed and left for dead in Dread Caverns, everyone thought they died. His mother and sister were distraught. They tried to murder him so they could have just that little bit more of the money. It was their greed that pushed them to commit murder. Obviously, they told the guild it was an accident in the cave that lead to his death.

Though nobody knew, Corey WAS still alive, technically. He tried for months to find a way to get out, but with his limited range of movement, it proved too difficult to climb out of the caves on his own. Though there was ONE good outcome from his being betrayed: now having no heartbeat, he was basically invisible to the beasts that roamed the cave system. The same beasts that feed off of the fear of their prey. The first person to find him came soon after they realized this. Some random adventurer, trying to collect minerals and resources from the cave in order to study it’s properties. Corey tried approaching this person to ask for help, but as soon as he stepped closer, they freaked out. Corey is, quite literally, walking death. He has his head smashed in, cuts all over him, his lip split in half, dried blood running down his face, and even the limping walk of a zombie. To be completely fair, seeing him come at you in a dark cave like that, I don’t really blame the guy for practically pissing his pants! It doesn’t really help that Corey is partially mute, only really able to get out short sentences at a time, so on top of it all, he was completely silent walking forward XD

The adventurer practically bolted out of the cave after that, and told the guild. Thus birthed the rumor of the “King of Fear”, believed to be behind the properties of Dread Caverns.

Many would come over the next few years, none of them willing to listen to reason. They tried to kill Corey. Out of self defense, Corey ended up killing them.

He would rack up quite the kill count before Brook came along. Corey hates what he’s had to do, and hates that he’s begun to kind of like it in a twisted weird way. They hate themself because of this. They feel evil. They think they’ve started going insane. Being isolated in the dark for years with only the occasional battle, it was akin to torture.

Brook, even while terrified out of her mind, was the first one to actually stop and listen to him. She helped him to escape and finally see the light of day after years underground.

Here’s the boy!!!

To answer your last question, yeah I’m mostly working on schoolwork right now haha! But I’m also working on a new profile picture since the one I have currently was originally made for Halloween XD I’ll finish it soon and post it for you guys to see when it’s done!

#tw gore #I’m glad ur writer’s block is gone!#bun did a draw #bun rambles #corey whispering willow #whispering willow book #sorry again for how long it’s taken me to respond!!!#i hope the wait wasn’t too bad!!!#<33333

I just finished pokemon violet, and while I have many many gripes with how it runs and certain mechanics, I'm with nearly everyone else I've seen talk about this game in that it's probably my fav.

What makes me really sad tho is that this game had so much more potential to be absolutely phenomenal, had it not been rushed like it was. Imagining what kind of game it could have been with more time and attention,,,, almost makes me hate it as is lmao

stream of consciousness and spoilers under cut

Area Zero man. None of the rest of the scenery really wowed me, but going thru Area Zero... my initial enjoyment of it was a bit dampened by not being able to use Miraidon to get around, but it was still just a cool area and I can't wait to explore it more thoroughly later.

I really liked the rpg-ness of having friends traveling with me. It made the game feel fuller and more impactful. Like a lot of the game until that point was traveling vast expanses of just pokemon, with very small chunks of story happening at ocassional checkpoints. Having people traveling with me who were moving the story along while I traveled made the game flow better and feel like my traveling was part of the story, if that makes sense. Wish it had been a mechanic during any other part of the game (tutorial aside).

Story wise, I guessed the big twist pretty early on, but I think it actually aided my enjoyment? like, the tension of probably knowing Turo's fate while traveling with Arven, who just wants to see his dad.... 😭😭😭

The first Turo fight was cool, I'm a sucker for AI goes rogue but good stories. Everything after that fight tho was kinda,, eh. I didn't find Miraidon's arc super compelling, and the ending felt weird. Idk how to explain, but AI Turo's decision felt more selfish than sacrificial, which didnt tonally mesh well with me. But, it's a kids game, it need a somewhat feel-good ending ig.

Now, my main gripes:

- Performance. This honestly goes without saying; this is everyone's biggest gripe with the game. It's extremely unpolished and runs like shit. I don't think I got over 20 frames at any point. Considering BOTW and Odyssey both came out YEARS before this, there really shouldn't have been this much of an issue making a large open world switch title. This is likely cause by how rushed the game was, and it's so sad to see.

- it's pretty empty. like I said above, there's vast expanses of land to travel thru, but once you've caught the pokemon in the area, it can be a drag to explore because there's nothing else really compelling. Having more story beats outside of towns, or having a traveling companion might have fixed this, but as is it feels like a slog to explore.

- Character customization. I'm getting fucking blue balled by Nintendo, having all these clothing shops in scarvi that they don't do shit bc you're forced to wear one of four outfits the entire game. Like, they were so close. I have to imagine this was due to time constraints, bc the other option is they did it out of spite to prevent boys wearing skirts.... I just was so turned off by the shops as a whole bc this sucked so much ass.

- various QOL: - would have loved repels to prevent small ass pokemon spawning underfoot while I'm trying to get somewhere. - shiny indicator, some of these pokemon are impossible to tell apart (<strike>tandemouse</strike>). - Being able to see the previews of picnic items before you buy them like every other shop item??? - FOR MY POKEMON TO MATCH MY WALKING SPEED IN LETS GO MODE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. YOU CANT PUT A POKEMON IN THE GAME THAT NEEDS WALKING TO EVOLVE AND THEN HAVE IT NEED TO GO BACK IN ITS POKEBALL EVERY 4 SECONDS.

I don't really have a closing note for this, it's just ramblings at 1am after having binged pokemon for the last week, but I do want to touch on the terastal/paradox pokemon designs. tbh I hateee how the terastal pokemon look. their hats are so so so so stupid looking. but, once I realized that you can change the tera typing, I'm not as mad about it. I get they can't do custom forms for every type for every pokemon, but God are the UGLYYYYY.

As for the paradox pokemon, they look cool, but I think with the premise of future pokemon, it would have been more interesting for them to be organic rather than robotic. I think there was supposed to be a theme of AI thru the game, bit they didn't really dive deep enough into that. It would have been much cooler for the pokemon to be like, crystallized somehow. bc of their relation to the tera crystals and all. idk, future = robots just feels uninspired. Buttttt, they look cool enough, and they paradoxed my fav pokemon, so I think I can let this slide. for now.

EDIT: after I hit post I remembered that Clavell said "cheugy" at me and it made me have to explain cheugy to my wife and I have never been so fucking blindsided by a video game

Happy new year!

It's still 12/31 for me rn but I guess I'll just say that now lol Can't wait to see hobi's performance later. Idk if I can find a way to watch it unofficially or officially tho lol

The boys' new year message vid. It's nice. but I'm selfish so I'm a lil sad there was no tae bday live and no personal pic/vid posts from most of them recently. But oh well. The weverse messages were cute. I stared at Jin's neck for a while. (His skin looks so soft and perfect here. How is it real omg?! His collarbones. Horny brain on. I want to mark his neck up omg) Yoongi said that he's going to try something big and he's excited for it. NYC PERFORMANCE PLS lol I can't wait for his comeback! I got flustered when Tae appeared. He looks so good omg wtf. He had a bad cold TT idk for how long since idk when they recorded this but :( Hobi's cute ending aww. Jk seems tired lol. He seems to be blinking a lot. Ooh only one ear has piercings. Is that new or it's been a while? idk lol He's so cute. His rumbly voice was hot. Wth is a black rabbit? Is it a Korean aspect?

-🖤

yay happy new year!!

uhh i think they’re showing it on abc, and i assume because you’re in america it’s on your tv? idk how it works 😭 i think the will probably be a few twitter account that stream it though like usual for the people who don’t have abc

the new years message was so cute :( and the perfect way for me to end the year

i feel like they’ve done so many big things at this point i can’t even begin to guess what yoongi is planning 😭 perhaps, world domination?

poor tae 🥲 i don’t really know the time frame of when the video was filmed either but i hope he’s feeling better now

they were all dressed up so maybe they filmed it after recording something? jk did seem pretty tired 🥲 but i’m glad he’s gonna relax a little more this year and not stress too much— i really hope they all get the rest they need, they’ve worked so hard for years and i know they’ll all probably be enlisting at some point in the next year but until then i really hope they can enjoy themselves a little

ahh it’s the chinese zodiac, 2023 is the year of the black rabbit

i need to scream!!!

s4 recap going into season 5…

we found out 001 is behind all the evil in the whole show. brenner is dead. el’s powers are back. everyone is reunited. the battle is clearly laid out ahead of our main characters, they don’t even have to set that up.

and sure, the battle of hawkins is going to be huge, but ST has shown us time and again that they’re going to spend lots of time on relationships even amidst life or death situations.

taking byler/melvin out of the equation, what relationships do they have to focus on now? once max is saved, lumax has clearly fallen back in love and will be reunited. jopper is basically married at this point, robin seems to have gotten her girl, jancy seemed mostly okay……

i’m just saying. i’m just SAYING… mike has been paralleled with brenner (“you can fly”, urging el to find vecna and fight him, etc). brenner is dead and el is framed by herself in the final shot of 4x9.

literally the ONLY thing that makes sense at this point AT ALL is for s5 to be byler’s romance season. i’m talking long flirty scenes like we saw with steve and nancy in s4 (probably a lot more angst tho bc have you seen these boys lmao). i’m talking romantic look after romantic look. i’m talking, as one wise melvin put it, a massive straightbait!!!

and yes, they still have to resolve jancy/stancy, but i doubt that’ll take up enough screentime to be THE central love story of s5. we already did that in s1/2.

even if melvin is endgame, what would their love story be in s5? mike finally said those three little words, so where could their relationship go now, growth wise? they’re weirdly distant rn but how could that even get resolved in a satisfying way other than a breakup, since they already had the big ily monologue?

as viewers, our reaction to this show is holy shit, these are kids and this is traumatic for them please give them hope. so the audience roots for them, wants them to win, and to be happy and healthy. and for eleven, someone who is…ahem…LIKE PAPA in some respects is not gonna be the healthiest partner for her at the end of the day. i just don’t feel like any audience will be satisfied seeing her go thru no personal growth and gaining no independence from mike by the end of s5.

TL;DR: i’m not saying they’ll do it bc who tf knows, but literally, everything about this sets up a byler s5. the relationships are the core of the show, and the current relationship setup of s4 makes nOoooOoOooo sense if we’re not looking at a byler centric s5.

Finally watched Paradise Regained.... and gotta say that I was right about not getting my hopes up too much. I mean like I know that some things are no longer possible (as in the fact that Izumi Masayuki-san had long left us) but yeah...

Interesting how I end up enjoying Core of Resurrection more than Paradise Regained.

While I can't say whether or not the movie could've been better if it had been a continuation of Paradise Lost, (it'll still boils down to writing) I still feel that they could've tried that route.

I actually already watched one half of the Murder Case SP before, so I was a bit meh at the forced addition of 913. I mean... why are YOU there? Why anyone tolerate that guy there? Tho ngl after finishing the movie I was glad that Keitaro wasn't really there (regardless of the reason why the actor can't be in it).

I kinda confused abt Rena/Muze like is she really an Orphnoch or what? Is Muze somewhat like Kaixa in that non-Orph can use it? Why she's like acting like ppl are going to stare at her stripping her clothes when she was just transforming--as if the gear works like the Takeshi oni transformation? Like I get the whole naked soul thing.... but it's not like normal people could see that!

Kinda disappointed that there wasn't any mention of the Orphenoch King as an explanation on how Smart Brain was able to maintain Takkun's body/stabilize his body's deterioration.

And considering how the cast had been sharing old 555 photos on their insta during the anniversary earlier... I thought they at least made more passing mention about Kiba, aside from that one old frame showing Izumi-san at the beginning. Like there's PLENTY of chances where they could've done that. Like the whole thing about hoping for a world where humans and Orphnochs can live together/co-exist was something Kiba used to strive for. Mari could have said that she was carrying on Kiba's wish for a better future. They can even bring back the clip where Kiba sacrificed himself so that Takumi can kill the Orphnoch King for all I care and reopen our wounds 😃 Like if not Mari... let Naoya say it, being the last surviving from the trio.

Ngl I find it a missed opportunity to have another Kiba tribute (even it's just a mention) when Mari tried to jump off a building to kill herself after learning that she's become an Orphnoch. Like what she did was exactly what Kiba used to do after finding out that he's no longer human (as well as becoming the monster that killed his ex-gf, cousin and uncle). Considering how Mari (and Takumi) used to have so many heart-to-heart talks with Kiba, either of them could've made that throwback and have another talk about what 'humanity' should mean to them now. Like now that she also had become an Orphnoch, perhaps she could better understand some of the complicated Kiba feelings in the past (but i get it... it's been 20 years, sometimes it's hard to dig back all the past issues...)

Also seriously I dun get what they tryna do with RenaTakumi being partners (since when?) and being close.

Also there's NO explanation as to how and why Kusaka was with the gang, considering that guy's always a big Orphnoch-hater and suddenly now he's so friendly with the Orph-kids (don't ANYONE find that sus?). Oh wait... I get the why, it's to infiltrate the gang etc.

There wasn't any explanation about why Keitaro was absent (but I don't mind) cos that means I can hc the reason being Keitaro not being able to tolerate seeing Kusaka every day, since Kusaka used to try to kill Yuka before and all the past history.

Gotta say that making both Kusaka and Kitazaki androids was a good explanation to why they're smh back with Kitazaki being much more mentally stable and Kusaka being ooc.

I wouldn't say that i totally hate the movie cos i like the part about Naoya taking care of the kids and Takumi going back to old school suit, but some of the stuff there was kinda.... is there a need for MariTaku pseudo porn? Takkun going 'pls fix me' and they went on a romp felt a bit... off. Like unless Mari's Orphnoch factor was tweaked with Orphnoch King's dna... I don't get why Takkun bonding with her could somehow... 'fix' him.

But don't take my word for it... since I'm still a MariKiba shipper. Also i miss the old Smart Lady..

Also yth 913 took over Smart Brain? Like rude?

So the wire tree has ended up a bit top heavy which has made it nearly impossible for it to stand up on it's own which means I couldn't attach it to the quartz I was originally going to, it never would have worked, so I considered alternatives and a frame seemed like the easiest way to do so. But finding something that would work after 10pm seemed kinda hard so I was looking through my junk and found a paint roller. Solid with an angle so I could drape. But to get it out of that I had to figure out how to break open the handle which resisted all attempts to bash it open and stuff. Luckily I own a rotary, from the last time I went insane on crafts (this is also where the paint roller came from) and I had some cutting discs so I figure, why not, I can at least try it. Melts through the plastic like nothing, I slice open the handle and remove the metal component. But now how to attach just a cylinder? I can't glue it down, that will literally never work without drilling a hole through the quartz (no drill, no bits for the rotary to try with) so I start thinking about a more haphazard juryrigged manner but eventually it is clear, this frame is almost perfect (the angle it takes at the top where the roller would go is superfluous and extra weight) but the quartz is a bad base (not good, it's pink, very important) so what else do I have?

Well again, last time I was doing crafts I made a two piece box with some carved out innards that held potions in vials (did you know you can just buy like... a handful of vials) in velvet lined holes (that I carved with said rotary) out of some wood. Left over I had a piece that I had test stained and would be a decent thickness so if I drilled a hole in it somehow (still no drill) I could stand the base of the metal brace in it which would hold it up and then wrap the tree all the way around said brace and then use the roots of the tree to drape over the quartz base as artfully as possible as well as have it actually hold itself up somewhat.

Couple of problems tho. No drill, wood too big so no saw. However, I am in a rental with a shed, so I go out and have a look. Rusting up the back on the workbench are some screw bits (drill bits with screws at the end for you know, adding screws to things) and no electric drill but a hand drill presumably from the bronze age. I start testing it out and sure enough, with a bit that basically fits the brace perfectly (slightly too big, but we can compensate) I hand drill a hole through the wood. During this time I also need to remove the excess metal from the brace (ex paint roller) and decide to say fuck it and try the rotary. It's not quite hot knife through butter this time but to my eternal shock, the cutting disc actually manages it's way through the half inch thick cylindrical metal (with a bit of turning) and I end up with piece workable for my needs. At the same time I finish drilling the hole through and realise that the base of the brace that is going in the hole has flanges that are going to stick out (bigger than the hole) but since the rotary is now my hammer and every problem a nail, I just start trimming off the sides of the flanges eventually smoothing them down to fit in to the hole (slightly bigger remember) and it even helps it get stuck in there. I could probably do some gap filling (there is a painters shelf in this shed) but no need for now.

Next problem is that the wood base is clearly oversized now. But along with the ancient rusty drill I also find a saw and with a considerable effort I manage to bring the wood to a manageable size. I have to work through a staple I had put in the block at one point (I was doing stuff with fabrics) (rotary > staple) but it's now the right dimensions.

All that's left is to sand off the block, which I also have to do by hand seeing as the belt sander I found operated solely as a smoke machine now I find some scraps of sandpaper leftover from my last set of crafts in a box and set out to round off the edges and so on. At the same time I find the old pot of stain, steal a paintbrush from the shelf, as well as a new sponge from inside and set myself up to paint the block so it doesn't look like a mess anymore with the old stain and the sanded off edges and what not. Sadly, that takes a whole night so I have to finish and I spend an hour just scrubbing my hands to get the stain off and write off the brush entirely (stain is very sticky)

This means that now all I need to do is stick quartz to wood somehow, have the roots all bend downwards (probably also using some kind of adhesive) and then I will have officially done way more than I ever intended to on a piece that is for a lady whom I can never hope to capture the heart of and the moral of the story is, I quite literally cannot be beaten when it comes to insane energy devoted to nonsense causes. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

It's funny that I put off reading this because I thought I could actually provide insight on the process, but it seems like you've mostly got it all handled.

I've heard Silicone glue is good for what you're trying to do?

castle 6x14 dressed to kill

the fashion designer episode liveblog

dumpster diving my beloved Canon gay characters "I had it first" No you literally didn't

Wedding stuff. Inviting my older bro to watch this w me bc he likes wedding stuff. Something a little less... intense. KB: They are all very girly, with a lot of gauzy photos of love-struck brides looking off into the distance. Love set design btw. RC: Perhaps they’re contemplating the fifty percent divorce rate? MR: Of course it was the 70s so I can't be sure... Those two r so cute & martha is great <3

Hey we've recorded this location before KB: Matilda King JE: ... Ok. .??

LP: a scarf a sash or something. RC: Blue hairs. So she was killed by a little old lady. Or Katy Perry. Or a dr seuss character

speaking of, where IS ryan?

Nice apartment!!! Ryan's outfit. I also liked Esposito's but I didn't like it. Is it legal to be on call 24/7???

Isn't this already their statement?

Ryan tech stuff

u already need to be a hottie? Stare all you want! Actually no. Ew only hiring ppl who.. i'll shut up.

Big bro: oh no it's his mom? his mom is secretly matilda king?

Like Sifu

Recognizes her!?

About 15 minutes lol that's when she did modeling!

Wow bright pink fashion man. So many canon gay characters even tho... I think they ARE canonly gay but they are intended to be gay obv

& she has a business to run!

ella's dead? how? "we're trying to find out" u KNOW how: strangled

Poor serge.

nvm.

episode title: dressed to kill.

If you're fired by matilda that's a rite of passage.

bro says the fibres could have gotten on her neck & THEN she was strangled

Pretty normal looking guy

btw love the background artists

RC: Oh! I just came up with a new title. “Murder is the New Black”. KB: Does that even make sense? KR, showing up: No it doesn't

is it REALLY bigger than fashion?

bro: i think it's the big lady (matilda) liking ella's design & someone else taking credit so they can make it big Me: I'll write that down. *not telling him he's right*

Yay cordova! house!

Usually exterminators get RID of bugs

Black coral?

"yes that's him but his hair was more like this" Knows what he wore

RC: After a tough negotiation that involved my Knicks tickets and naming a character in my next book after his Nana, my friend came up with a name. Marcus Conway.

the captions <3 "couture chick" "that's "chic"

My man looks young but with grey hair Ooh she's hot, rly tall, I love her

Corporate espionage & that's why she was killed

Bro: her cell doesnt work from home!

probs just an online zine bro

Wow art. Wow wedding dress.

Ryan pretty.

The boys watching caskett be mushy KB: can you go with martha?

U could be a regular ex-military, u don't need to make everyone ex special forces babes

Ella called Marcus on the landline oh dear!

love the murder timeline

WOuld she do it herself? Bro: maybe she was pressed for time, didn't know who she could trust

Bro: I think it's the pink guy who heard the call as she was leaving & went after her to protect matilda or he needs to secure his position or he needs to prove his loyalty or he needs to frame matilda to get her job

She's on a call? Ask her to hang up politely? idk.

Wow she be yelling.

"it;s the clothing that stitches it all together, we are their fantasy!

It...IS temper babe

Matilda king is good at this capitalist evilhood.

Yeah illegal illegal gross illegal technically legal but shitty crappy

"What information? Don't say u don't know, say you cannot share. "the weekEnd" oOOohhhhhh so it's fine if hte COPS listen!

We need more beckett+ryan

That's a lot of audio footage. THey're probably rly good at seeing what is important while listening at 2(to 3)x speed. Bro & I were arguinng if it was audio recording or direct recording. Inane to YOU esposito, probs super interesting to sm1 who know what they're talking abt. KB: This directory lists over a hundred people who work there. JE: (wistfully) Yeah. (pause) Lucky I have crazy good hearing. (I'd like to learn more abt that. The man is p musical after all.) KR: *nods* it's true (when did he learn that?) Ah, take me out to the ballgame money atm from that one movie

He's supposed to be working at a fashion place???

She cryin I don't like this gal at all lol At least she says "excuse me" The model didn't show up :(

fall 2015 not 14 babe Nice wood on the walls

MR: Then don’t. I’m sure there’s another venue out there that the two of you will just fall in love with. Bro: the station

Beckett wedding dress Bro: it's gonna be HER dress? Bro: No it's not. It's so ugly. Bro: that's the worst way to do an overskirt, and the overskirt doesn't even match the rest of the outfit it looks sooooo tacked on after the fact. doesn't meet in the front, same length all the way around no taper, nothing to hide or blend the seam/joining point especially with how bulky it is especially at the top. t looks like they misread the instructions and put the petticoats over the dress instead of under it. it's not even white-white it's a warm offwhite which doesn't go with the silver at all. I am a huge fan of overskirts so believe me when I say it would be 100000x better without the overskirt.

Me: austrian crystal, I had earrings with that. What is is tho? Wiki: A rhinestone, paste or diamante is a diamond simulant originally made from rock crystal but … In the US, these are sometimes called "Austrian crystal".

while she's gone for 5 mins send a pic to castle Bro: I like the top of the dress at least, but it looks like they assembled it wrong

She's gonna say no. At least Castle didn' t put down the stuff before he called her. Oh she just claims she didn't want to rush it. Or maybe you could plan for fall 2015!

IT'S STILL THE SAME DAY?

JE: Just Yumi. It – I guess if you don’t have a last name you can charge more. (not clipping but good face.) JE: And in addition to the fact that this model is hot – (he studies the photo) – she’s wearing black coral. Bro out of the blue: two ugly guys & a dog JE: I’m probably going to have to call her in for an interrogation. (just so he can look at a pretty girl acab lol)

Yumi: Models. Lack of food makes them so very fraught.

Bro: It's only been ONE day!?!?!? Me: that's what I said!

Bro: that sash looks like the TYPE of thing she'd have, but I didn't see it specifically.

Love his fashion scarf still lol.

Maybe they were both subconsciously getting the ideas from the air. You come up with the same ideas all on your own. Like music.

Ew copaganda.

WAIT IT WASN'T HIM?

bro: it's the guy! the assistant guy! who I was suspicious of before!

Love all these people & looking weird.

Turns out mobsters are more ethical. Love the music bwang.

Love her jacket btw. & so this entire thing happened in one day but then at the very end it was boom morning new day get julian skip the facts getting the dumpster stuff, then boom take down the murder board & do paperwork & go home?

Ooh fire on in the background Like how she's talking with her hands KB: I wish my mom knew you Me: Maybe she was the one who first bought kate a richard castle book Bro: "actually I DID bang your mom." Me: !? Bro: "So you don't have to worry, she liked me a lot"

gtg cook supper bai
