thinkinf blue collar!simon thoughts…
welder!simon making you those pretty metal flowers. welder!simon who loves when you pack lunch for him because its so domestic and he’s out of the house by 0400 in the morning anyway. welder!simon who talks about you to all the down-to-earth guys that come through and have a job for him. welder!simon who always showers right when he gets home because he know how you get when he gets thise little curls of steel that latch onto his shirt on the couch or get dirt on the bed.
mechanic!simon who always gets your vehicle in and out before anyone else though possible. mechanic!simon who offers to fix things up at your house/apartment for free because he (wants to spend time with you) knows how expensive things are… and he is your friend, so why not just do it out of the kindness of his heart? mechanic!simon who is friends with you long enough to know your favorite animal/song, so he casually gets a tattoo of the animal silhouette/lyrics because he has tattoos anyway so why not get one that reminds him of you?
electrician!simon who always jumps to offer his work skills if you need. electrician!simon who always lets you know the latest gossip that he hears on the job if you want to know. electrician!simon who always calls you after a work accident/scare: he fell about twenty feet and landed on his back and his first thought was of you, simon got shocked by a live wire and asked for you to come cook him dinner because he burned through some skin tissue (and he knows you’d do it).

The Working Principle of Ultrasonic Metal Welder
Ultrasonic Metal Welding, also named cold metal welding, is similar to friction welding but not always the same-ultrasonic welding takes a very short time and the temperature is lower than that of metal recrystallization. Ultrasonic Metal Welding is also different from pressure welding because the static pressure applied is much lower than that of pressure welding.
Tumblr media
Three main stages of ultrasonic welding to joint workpieces together
This vibrational energy at the contact between the two workpieces generates local friction and shear force and produces initial plastic deformation.
2. Ultrasonic vibrations disperse impurities/oxides and lead to further deformation. This increases the metal-to-metal contact and creates a weld zone. This process is also known as micro-welding. Repeated micro-soldering results in a larger contact area, making a stronger joint.
3. Continue to add ultrasonic vibration to expand the contact area, hence, expand the welding area.
At the same time, the weld area heats up and plastic deformation takes place on the interface. This results in the formation of a weld joint when the contact pressure makes the workpieces get more close to each other to a distance where atomic gravity can act. Too much welding time or excessive ultrasonic vibration may lead to a bad welding effect and even destroy the workpieces.
The combined use of the welding head and base can well clamp the workpieces with the lower workpiece completely fixed on the base.
The role of each component of the ultrasonic metal welder
The ultrasonic generator
The ultrasonic generator converts the 50/60Hz electricity to 15, 20, 30 or 40 KHz electrical energy.
Through the convertor, the high-frequency electric energy is converted to mechanical vibration of equal frequency. Then, the booster amplifies the vibrational energy which is supplied to the horn.
Energy transmission
During the ultrasonic welding, no electricity or heat is supplied to the metal workpiece; During the welding process, with the help of the static pressure, the vibrational energy at the contact between the two workpieces generates local friction and shear force and produces plastic deformation thus generating heat and the two pieces are joint together at the interface metallurgically upon cooling.
The joint
The metallurgical joint at the interface is a solid-state weld that is created without melting the involved materials, hence, the ultrasonic welding effectively avoids the spatter and oxidation that occurs in resistance welding. The ultrasonic welding generates less heat because in the welding process only the friction works to generate heat. The heat can only reach 1/3 or 1/2 the melting point of the metal. The low temperature ensures the original properties of the metal traverse. Moreover, ultrasonic welding can weld a thin metal piece to a thick one without causing any damage to the thin piece. These advantages of ultrasonic welding are important to produce circuit groups.
The horn must have tooth on the working surface or else it cannot generate enough friction energy when working with the upper workpiece, hence, no relative motion occurs between the two workpieces.
Adding pressure
The ultrasonic vibration transmitted to the contacts of two workpieces creates friction under pressure hence leads to the fusion of the metal molecular layers. The heat generated due to the friction melts the metal, effectively avoiding the spattering of sparks and oxidation of the metal in the weld area, which must takes place during the resistance welding process.

Night vision is a growing worry among motorists. It seems like new cars have ever-more-powerful headlights, which ruin your ability to see anything other than a retina-scarring cone of light. And that’s if you’re the one driving the new car. If you’re like me, and operate a rickety old car whose headlights are most generously described as “present,” you can easily be blinded by every asshole on the road who can fork over a down payment.
Worst of all, there’s no way to get back at them. Until now.
A couple years ago, I was introduced to a guy who was really into headlights. Making sure they had good bulbs, clear lenses, cutoffs, properly aligned, all that important stuff that nobody does. The thing he wanted to express to me most about my car, of course, is that it had shitty wiring feeding the headlights. When the headlights turn on, they’re limited by how much juice they can pull through that shitty wiring. He recommended that I get thicker, beefier wiring, like the kind you’d use to run a welder, or accidentally electrify your neighbour’s fence when you’re sick of him playing party rock at 4am.
At the time, the price of copper was pretty high, so I never took the opportunity to follow his advice. After getting an impromptu suntan on my drive back from work the other day, I now see the error of my ways. A quick visit to a nearby electrical substation equipped me with some exceptionally thick wire, and a bit of hammering and crimping got me the rest of the way. And of course the stock headlights wouldn’t do much: a subsequent quick visit to the airport filled the trunk of my car with some of those sodium bulbs that they use to warn airplanes not to crash into the airport. Perfect, I thought, and went along my merry way.
I didn’t have to wait long until a RAV4 bumbled into my path, shining its misaimed lights directly into my soul. Now, at last, the moment of my revenge was at hand. Also at hand: the high-beam switch. The exact memory of what happened next is a bit jumbled, but I’m pretty sure that the antagonistic Toyota was erased from existence only femtoseconds before my battery caught fire and exploded. Scientists are still confused about how, even long after my car has left the area, there remains a cone of perfectly lit road at all hours of the day, hovering ominously.

welder!ghost au
After taking so many welding lessons from Simon and developing a crush, you decide to make him a little something to show your appreciation.
(f!reader, simon is a fucking weirdo, jealousy)
As soon as you'd set your mind to the idea, it wouldn't leave you.
Just like everything to do with Simon, it's buried its way into your brain and taken up residence there, gnawing away until you decide to do something about it.
How you're going to do it is something different, though. There's no way in hell you could get away with making something secret in Simon's workshop, right under his nose like that. That man is far too observant to let something like that slip by, and the surprise is part of the fun.
You want to show him everything you've learned from him, every moment that you've hung off of his every word and listened to everything he has to say, every time you've watched him work and absorbed his expertise.
You settle on a bracelet, braided stainless steel, each step made by your loving hands. Hopefully, he'll wear it, and hopefully, you can guess his wrist size properly--fucking massive isn't exactly a precise measurement.
It should take too long, not with everything he's taught you, and you can be back to working in his shop again instead of the one across the city with the guys he doesn't like. You wouldn't go there under any other circumstances, were the situation not desperate. And when you get there, you understand Simon's judgement completely, not that you ever doubted it to begin with. The guys are creepy, and they stare, as well as make comments that are misogynistic, flirtatious, or an outrageous mix of both.
You're on high alert almost the entire time you work, but you try to push it out of your mind in favour of making everything perfect for Simon. Each weld, each sand, each polish, has to be perfect for him because anything else would be doing his tutelage a disservice. You've seen the disappointed looks he's given some members of the classes when his mask is flipped up, but you'd never been on the receiving end--always so eager to please and impress. That won't change now. You won't allow it.
You braid the steel wire with a drill and a vice, cut the pieces you need, sand the ends and get to work on welding them together. It's delicate work, and your mind only slightly drifts to some of your lessons where Simon had lurked behind you, the heat of his body so close to yours as you worked.
You finish the edges and bend the metal to the desired shape, trying to imagine Simon's wrists as you work--which is surprisingly easy considering how much you've stared at that sleeve of his.
The second you finish, you bolt out of that horrid workshop, off in search of a nice box and some wrapping to finish off the gift. You had a session with Simon the following Monday, and it's then you'll present it to him--if you're feeling brave enough.
Monday rolls round, and the workshop is empty when you arrive, save for Simon working away in the corner. You can tell by the way his posture stiffens that he knows someone has entered, even over the noise of his work, because he's always so perceptive.
The box is in your hand, and your palms are starting to sweat as you call out to him. "Hey Si."
He finishes up what he's doing and makes his way over, setting his welding mask down and revealing his handsome features. "Just us tonight." His comment seems fairly inconsequential, but honestly, you preferred it that way, getting to be the sole focus of his attention.
You nod in response, knowing you should just get the gift giving out of the way so you can both get to work, but your stomach twists with worry. What if he hates it? What if he never wears it?
"What's that?" He asks, eyes flickering down and clocking the box and the source of your troubles immediately.
You thrust it at him, almost as if the box burns to touch. "A gift, for you, it's silly really, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything..."
For the lessons, for his attention, for never treating you as lesser.
He rips off his gloves before he gets to work on the wrapping paper, and peels open the jewellery box to see the steel band inside.
"If you hate it, it's fine. It's just a little token of my appreciation." You rush out your words--damage control.
His dark eyes flicker between you and the bracelet, his expression unreadable before he pulls it from the box and places it around his tattooed wrist. The fit is perfect, but his reaction isn't as his expression sours. "Where did you make this?"
"Huh?" You startle, as that wasn't what you expected to come from his mouth at all.
His eyes narrow, and you swear he takes a step closer. "You didn't make this in my shop. Where did you make it?"
Oh fuck, you think, realising you have to admit to stepping foot in that other shop. You avert your gaze as a sheepish expression overtakes your features. "Uh, PK's shop, I wanted to surprise you so, I went there..."
His hand grips your chin, forcing you to look him right in those stormy eyes. "You wanna make something for me? You make it in my shop, yeah? My student, my shop."
The possessive words make you shiver, make you want to fall for your knees, and beg for forgiveness for the unknowing betrayal.
"Yeah, okay, of course... I mean I hated it there, I swear, they gave me the absolute creeps." You try to laugh away the swirling guilt and discomfort you feel. "Left as soon as I was done, and even gave them a 1 star review. But, I'll never go back, I promise."
Your eyes shine up at Simon's, waiting for him to relax.
"That's my girl." Finally, his touch releases and he steps away, grabbing his gloves. "Let me finish up what I'm working on real quick, yeah?"
"Of course." You nod quietly, watching as he walks away as your stomach starts to sink. At least he didn't take it off. "Do you... like it?"
He stops still, checking out where it sits on his wrist. His expression doesn't change, but you can hear the sincerity in his words. "Love it."
And a week or two later, when Simon asks you to come by the shop one night outside of your sessions, you're not entirely sure what to expect.
He explains he's trying something new, and needs your help, and doesn't explain anything further. But it's Simon, so of course you comply, of course you trust him.
It's only when he brings out a micro welder and a small length of gold chain that you realise what's happening. The intense look in his eyes before he gets to work leaves no room for argument, and you silently accept your fate as he permanently attaches that little bracelet to your wrist--a dainty little 'S' charm hanging from the middle.

Bright and early, you leave your house to check on Evita. Sam had told you making just one of those wards had drained her of all energy. Just one. And there was so many more she needed to make in order to protect the borders of La Push and Forks.
Evita sat out on Sam’s front porch, a mug in her hands that had ribbons of rising steam trailing from it. Her face was pale, too pale opposed to her usual tan complexion. But her eyes when they flick to you are still alive and observant. A hair band pushed away her tightly wound curls to show off the pale pink scars on her face. “Good morning (y/n).”
“Good morning. How are you feeling?” You ask and sit on the front steps, angling your body toward her since there was only one chair on the porch.
She sighs and leans back, her shoulders sagging. “It’s taking a lot longer to recover my energy. I was hoping I’d be able to make another ward today, but I don’t think I’ll be up for it.”
“Sam said you had a friend coming.”
With a hum, she nods. “Yes. But I don’t know when he’ll be here. He’s constantly on the move. Most of the time he doesn’t have cellular service.” Her fingers tap against her mug. “I didn’t know it would take that much out of me. I’m not the strongest witch out there, but I’m fairly competent. I’ve seen my mother make wards before but mainly for our home. Nothing for a large reach of land. Times like these I wish she was here or even Leti. Leti was the most talented of our whole family. That’s why Xiomara saw her as a threat.”
She really hadn’t had time to mourn her sister. Now she was far away from any kind of family and help. You admire her tenacity. How strong she was even though Evita couldn’t have been much older than you. You think of your parents and how relieved they were when they saw you last night. Constantly making them worry about your wellbeing. Not even being with Edward had soothed them. Was Evita’s mom equally worried about her young daughter all alone?
”By the way,” Evita takes a sip from her mug before she proceeds “who was that girl yesterday? I don’t think I was introduced to her before.”
You knew who she meant. “That was Bella Swan.”
One thick eyebrow arches in intrigue. “TheBella Swan?”
“The one and only.”
You catch the space of skin between her brows crease. “Interesting. In a room crowded with wolves, I sensed her above them all.”
“What do you mean?”
Evita pauses for a few breaths to mull her words over in her head. “Hmmm, I should I put this. . . People, whether they be human or something else all have an aura. In the state that overcomes me when I’m performing my craft, my ability to see them intensifies. And you said Edward had never been able to read her thoughts?”
Affirmatively you nod wondering what this was leading to.
“That kind of aura,well, many magic welders have one just like her’s.”
“You’re saying Bella is a witch?”
“She’d have to practice at it, but yes she does have the capability of being a witch.” Her drink depleted, Evita sets it down next to one of the legs of the deck chair. Fixedly she looks at you, shooting you unspoken words that you read loud and clear.
Pursing your lips, you lean back against the stair rail. “Can she learn fast?”
“Normally I would say no.” Admits Evita. “But it’s not that often a human is naturally immune to a vampire’s power.” Her fingers tighten around a small jar that hung off her neck, caged in silver wire and strung with rope. You remember her making it. It protected her thoughts from Edward and other prying minds. She'd made it when she found out Edward could read everyone's thoughts except for Bella's and now your own.
Letting out a small sigh, Evita picks her mug back up and stands. You follow suit. "I need to get my strength back as soon as possible." She taps the mug. "This tea helps. I've already had three cups of it."
"Is there anything the pack can do in the meantime?" You ask her.
Evita's face glows and with her free hand, she holds your hand for a moment. "Spend time with your vampire now that you have him. Take this opportunity to bond before chaos ensues."
While she had spoken lightly as it was meant to cheer you, you couldn't help the shadow of worry cast over you at her last words. Foreboding of times to come.
Evita was to wait for her friend to arrive before she even entertained the idea of training Bella. She was no teacher and wouldn't even know where to begin with such a daunting task. She said his name was Dieufel and he was older than Letizia by three years. Still relatively young, but Dieufel was extremely talented and had traveled around the world to gain knowledge of all the known magicks out there. Dieufel called Haiti his home and had been there the last time Evita heard from him. That was a while ago.
While Dieufel wasn't the only magic wielder Evita knew, she was much more familiar with him since Letizia had gone on a few trips with him through the years of their acquaintanceship. "After yesterday though, I realize we'll need more people on deck to make the other wards."
“We’ll get them. Carlisle and Jasper are already on the road to get more vampires on our side.” You assure her. “And Edward texted me this morning that Alice also left last night too.”
“I hope they find success.” Evita smiles.
You left so Evita could get more rest and head back down the road. When you got home, you planned on suggesting a day for your date. Even thinking about it made you smile like a fool. While you wished you could go out on your first date right then and there, you couldn’t. You had to finish your summer school work before you academically fail even more. Not even werewolves could escape school.
Passing by the Black house, you notice Bella’s car pulling into the gravel driveway. This was the most you’d ever seen of Bella. Even when the vampires and wolves had been training together.
She hops out of the driver’s side and waves to you.
You wave back and anxiously eye Jacob’s garage where he always was when wolf duties didn’t pull him away.
Did Jacob tell her about imprinting on Evita? You wish you’d gone to check on him first before Evita. Internally you curse yourself for being a bad friend.
“You and Jake hanging out today?” You ask her, doing your best to be polite.
“Actually I wanted to see how Evita was doing.” She rubs anxiously at her arm despite the weather not being chilly at all. “Yesterday was really intense.”
“I think Evita would appreciate it.” You smile. Would Bella be happy about potentially being a witch? It could be a burden for her, something else to remind her of how her life has been tossed around by the world Edward and you live in. She would never have been privy to it prior to her life in Forks. There had been no fear of actual vampires walking on the same streets she walked. “I just came back from there. I think she wanted to talk to you too.”
Relief smoothed out the nervous lines on her face and she really smiles.
It was unwise though for Jacob to be anywhere near Evita right now. Evita didn’t need another situation on her plate.
You open your mouth, prepared to offer to take her to Sam’s yourself, when Jacob pops out of the garage with his house keys in his hands. He froze when he finds you there standing right next to Bella. Being friends for over a decade, you knew each of Jacob’s facial expressions and what they meant. His was one of guilt. You didn’t want to admonish him in front of Bella in case he hadn’t told her yet. But you definitely didn’t want him to go to Sam’s, especially if the alpha wasn’t their to monitor him and Evita.
“You guys might have to postpone your visit though. Evita’s still pretty tired and was going back to sleep when I left.” You smoothly explain, regretting the lie when you saw Bella’s look of disappointment.
“Oh, okay. Guess we’ll do a rain check.” Bella nonetheless smiles at you and is about to go back to her car when Jacob cut in.
“It’ll only be for a few minutes.”
Uh oh. You were wondering when his adolescent wolf brain would kick in. “She was pretty exhausted Jake. Plus Sam’s not there right now.”
You were getting in the way of him and his mate and his stupid testosterone was making him act irrationally.
Jacob’s jaw ticked.
Overly aware of Bella being so close to him, you slowly side step closer to her in case he did explode. She didn’t know what was going on; why Jacob had suddenly turned feral.
“She’s okay Jake.” You don’t pull your eyes away from his. “Everything’s fine. Let her sleep. It’s no use going if she’s sleeping.”
You nudge Bella’s arm, indicating for her to shift behind you and start to slowly move to her car.
Don’t do anything stupid you idiot. You think to yourself, unable to shout it at him through pack telepathy.
“(y/n). . .” Bella whispers at your back. “What’s wrong with him?”
“Nothing’s wrong with him.” Well, if he wasn’t going to tell her now then you’d have to. “He’s just imprinted on Evita is all and is acting like a stupid male wolf.”
You saying it out loud snapped him of whatever stupor he had so quickly plummeted in.
“On Evita?” Bella breathes out shakily.
“Yes. And he’s acting irrationally because he doesn’t know how to deal with it.” You were tired of keeping the poor human in the dark. “Because he always wanted to imprint on you, Bella. But we don’t get the choice in that and we have to live with it and accommodate.”
Bella addresses Jacob “Is that why you didn’t tell me sooner? How long have you known?”
He glares at you for revealing everything to Bella when he wasn't ready. "Since the first day she got here."
"She doesn't know yet. It's best for her right now to focus on getting the wards up for protection. She doesn't need this imprinting mess impeding on her work." You remind him. "If you act like this in front of her, she'll definitely know something's up. So it's best if Jacob just stays away for the time being."
Now Bella knew Jacob had used her just to see Evita.
Chancing turning away from Jacob, you say to Bella in a softer tone "Evita really does want to meet you though. She said. . . She said you might be helpful to her."
The hurt on her face stalled for a moment. "Really?"
You nod. "If you feel like you need a wolf chaperone to go to Sam's, then I'd be happy to accompany you next time." While Bella hadn't shown any romantic attachment to Jacob (that you'd seen at least), you knew it might hurt losing another close person to imprinting.
You'd give her credit though as she took a deep breath and nods. "Thanks (y/n). I think I'll just go home for now. But can you call me tomorrow if Evita is ready?"
"Of course."
You and Jacob watch as she hastily drove off. Immediately Jacob verbally tore into you. Condemning you for telling her something that wasn't for you to tell. The news of his imprinting was something he should have announced when he was ready. But it was clear keeping this from Bella was the wrong choice. And you used that fact to snap back. He'd been the one who was inconsiderate to Bella's feelings. Of course this would be tough to tell her regardless.
By the end of it, both of you were trembling, your wolf threatening to come to the surface and snap actual deadly teeth against someone who had been one of your closest friends. For fear of an actual fight breaking out, you storm off to your house even though you wanted to go back and tussle with Jacob. You remind yourself how you were when you first imprinted on Edward. Such a confusing time but you'd found isolation the best way to come to terms with your new reality. Perhaps that was what Jacob needed too.

Since the first time I saw him, I was enamored with Rocket ♡
Prompt- 'comparing hand sizes'
Details- Rocket (GOTG), human f. reader, fluff, and the thought of MC having "larger" hands than Rocket is just so adorbs to me. I can't help but to imagine him either complaining that it means nothing compared to intellegince/strength or just straight up getting a tad flustered that they're touching ო̤̫
(ps. the Collector request was divine..! ⁽⁽٩(๑˃ᗨ˂)۶⁾⁾ )
I love this
Hands, hands, hands
Rocket x Fem!reader
Word count: 1.2k
Warnings: Rocket being Rocket, Rocket with a crush, spelling mistakes, fluff
Summary: Rocket needs help fixing his new invention, you're more than happy to help
Tumblr media
Having small and nimble fingers were always a bonus when it came to Rockets inventions. He could make and arm small bombs that no one else could deactivate.
It was always a bonus.
Until today.
He had to rewire one of his aero rigs and while his hands could fit perfectly into the opening and grab the wires...he couldn't hold both wires, put them in the right spot AND weld them at the same time.
He sighed, tucking his welder under his chin and twisting the wires around his fingers.
He refused to ask for help if he didn't absolutely need it.
Holding the wires he took the welder and turned it on, moving to press it to the cords. Like before, the cords moved again and the welder almost made a hole in his palm.
He groaned, shoulders slummping as he sat back on his haunches on the Milano floor. Turning off the welder he tossed it to the floor, rubbing his temples.
He needed help.
Pushing down his pride he stood from his pile of machinery and wandered down the hall to your room.
It was late, they were calmly drifting through space, the ship silent save for a few fans and filters working.
He came to your door, swallowing his pride as his hand came up to knock on your door.
He heard shuffling on the other side and half hoped you'd tell him to piss off and leave you alone, but he knew you'd never do that.
The door opened, revealing you in your comfy clothes with your hair down...your very soft looking hair.
"Oh, hey, Rocket, what's up?" You leaned against the doorframe, crossing your arms with a small smile.
"I...well...I have an aero rig I'm trying to fix....and my hands....well, I can't hold the wires in the right spot to weld them together and...I need your help," He sighed, stuttering and rubbing the back of his neck, unable to meet your eyes.
"Yeah, sure, I'll try to help you,"
He led you down the hall to his "work station" which he had claimed about 3 months ago. He kneeled down at his previous spot in front of the small machine.
You copied him, sitting to his side, waiting for him to instruct you.
"Alright, see that green and blue wire? I need you to twist them and hold them to that small port right there, I'm going to take the welder and zap them into that spot," He explained carefully, it wasn't like him, normally he brashly stated what to do.
"I'll try not to burn your fingers, but if I do, there's a first aid kit on the wall behind you," He looked at you, nodding over your shoulder.
You nodded back, pulling up your loose sleeves and putting your hands forward.
"Got it,"
He picked up the welder, then glanced to you.
Carefully you put your right hand into the tight opening on the machine. You could only fit one hand, and your fingers were backwards to the wires and port.
You twisted the wires and pressed the ends against the port, your hand bending awkwardly back, but you could hold it.
Rocket leaned forward with the welder, with his right hand he had to adjust the wires slightly you were a centimeter off.
In the process, he moved his hand right into your palm. He paused, something about how your hand dwarfed his made his heart beat faster.
His entire hand fit perfectly into your palm, and your skin was so soft and warm.
"Rocket?" Your voice was a whisper as his head whipped up at you, mouth agape, eyes wide. "The wires?"
"Right, yeah yeah, sorry," He shook his head, thanking the stars he couldn't blush. He cleared his throat, leaning forward and welding the wires into the port.
The wires sparked, catching your finger tips, you flinched, hissing at the pain, but not moving your hand.
"Oh, shit sorry," He internally smacked himself, shutting off the welder and putting it by his side. Grabbing your elbow and helping you move your hand out of the machine.
Your fingertips were bright red, and Rocket stood, walking over to the wall and getting the first aid kit.
You turned to him, rolling your legs and sitting down crossed-legged on the metal floor.
He opened the kit and pulled out a burn ointment. He opened his hand and gestured for you to give him yours. You layed your hand over him, once again, your soft skin touched his small hand.
His heart skipped a beat and his throat went dry but he pushed down those feelings and started to apply the ointment.
You hiss occasionly when he got to a sensitive spot, but other than that he was so gently, like how he was with Groot.
His movements were slow and calculated, afraid to hurt you more.
"Is that better?" He whispered softly, looking up into your eyes.
"Yeah, it didn't hurt that bad, just an uncomfortable sting," You shrugged, as if it was nothing.
"Well, even if it didn't, I'm sorry," He mumbled it under his breath. Never in your few months of knowing him had Rocket ever apologized to you.
"It's alright, I'm not mad. It's nice to not have you yell at me for once for messing up a project," You spoke without thinking, looking back down at your hand, which was still laying on his.
"I don't yell that often," He countered, feeling guilty when you simply raised an unimpressed brow. "OK, maybe I do,"
He sighed, putting down the ointment and picking up se small bandaids, unwrapping them with his teeth and gently placing them over the pads of your fingers.
"When...when I ask you for help on a project and something goes wrong, I hope you don't blame yourself for it," He starts, flipping your hand over and gently placing his hand in your palm. "I'm mostly just upset with myself for having to ask for help and it's easier to blame someone else than take responsibility,"
It was strange, this easy open talk on the floor in the late hours of the night. Rocket never knew what it was about you that made him feel so different.
He'd touched the other Guardians hands before. Quill when he wanted to know how to shoot a different type of blaster. Gamora when she got an injury on her hand. Even Groot was known to take his hand from time to time in stressful moments.
Yet, the feeling of his hand in yours made his chest feel tight and his head feel warm.
It didn't help that you were always calm, and nice, always sticking up for him in front of the others, and you never judged him for his past.
You were his friend. Honest to goodness a good person and light in his life.
And you were also very pretty, with bug expressive eyes and a warm smile.
Rockets fingers gently ran over your palm, he looked up to meet your eyes. His heart raced faster noticing you were already looking at him.
Without saying anything, your fingers enclosed his hand in yours, enjoying the warmth and slight tremble from his hand.

Some signalis stuff I was thinking of
I suppose this is technically a short fanfic? Kinda sad but also kinda fluffy?
Cycle 3002
Ariane has been in a funk ever since that transmission. Well, she and Elster both. They're sitting on Ariane's bunk together. Ariane's eyes are glazed over and she has dark circles under her eyes.
"We're gonna die on this stupid ship." Ariane says in a low, tired voice. She's looking at a clump of white hair in her hands.
Elster is embracing Ariane, caressing her, trying to make her feel better... But it doesn't seem to be helping. "We're going to make it though this, Ari" she says. Ariane doesn't respond.
Elster stands up. "I'll be right back." She gives Ariane a kiss on the head and then leaves the room. In her brain fog, Ariane hardly notices the sound of power tools and a welder running on the other side of the ship.
After a few minutes have passed, Elster returns, now holding a small box in her hand. Ariane is still sitting on the bunk in a daze. Elster, in front of Ariane, kneels down in front of her and holds up the small box. Ariane starts to perk up.
"Ariane... will you... marry me?" Elster opens the box to reveal a ring which has been fashioned out of spare ship parts - a piece of glass from a small indicator light held to a steel ring by a soldered wire.
Ariane's eyes and mouth open wide. Her face turns red. "Wha- I-" She gasps. "Y- yes, of course!" She's smiling for the first time in two cycles. Elster takes Ariane's hand and gently slides the ring onto it. Ariane stares at the makeshift ring in awe.
"It's not exactly fine jewelry", Elster says. "But it's the best I've got". Ariane pulls Elster towards her and they bring their foreheads together. "It's wonderful, magpie~" Ariane says. Elster places a hand on Ariane's cheek. "No matter what happens, I'll be with you until the end. I promise."

I TOLD YA THERE'D BE ANOTHER MEMORY VAULT
this was a "part two" of my last memory vault based on the "Uncle Cally" AU, this time depicting how ol' Uncle Cally started moonlighting as Doctor Loboto! I got a lot more ambitious with this one, and I think it made me drift from aping the Scott C style as closely, but I'm still darn proud of it...!! I'd like to do more in this style someday. I've got ideas...
(alt text/image IDs under the cut!)
[Image 1 ID: A title slide mimicking those of the Psychonauts memory vaults, reading "The Amoral Doctor Loboto!"]
[Image 2 ID: Cal leaning back against a portable ticket booth, looking concerned. Inside, Donatella is comforting a distraught Augustus sitting on the floor with the cash register, a speech bubble coming from him showing a stack of money with a big X over it. Outside the booth, Raz is working on sending PSI-punches at a bag of flour marked with a generic bad guy, which Cal is holding up with telekinesis.]
[Image 3 ID: Cal in a small, rickety flatbed truck with miscellaneous scrap in the bed, driving away from the circus camp under cover of moonlight. He is looking back at a billboard advertising the Aquatos, looking conflicted. The edges of the image are crowded with dark foliage.]
[Image 4 ID: Cal in his "Doctor Loboto" guise in some kind of lair, lit only by a barred window above him. There is a cartoony death ray pointed at the window next to him, with an open panel he appears to be working on, holding a drill in one hand and a "Brain Surgery for Dummies" book in the other. In the foreground is a fish in a bowl, hooked up to machinery with wires and diodes.]
[Image 5 ID: Cal, back in his circus outfit, holding a stack of cash in one hand and proudly handing Raz a True Psychic Tales comic with the other. Raz looks utterly delighted. In the background, Augustus, stretching and practicing with Mirtala and Dion, looks over his shoulder at this with suspicion.]
[Image 6 ID: Cal in the dead of night using his telekinesis to chase off two shadowy figures, who are fleeing in terror. He is standing on some crates with his cloak billowing and a hacksaw in one hand. Behind him on a wall is a poster of the Aquatos.]
[Image 7 ID: Cal, in his "Doctor Loboto" guise, checking a PO box. He is opening an envelope containing a letter addressed to "Dr. Loboto", a blueprint, some cash, and a pamphlet for Whispering Rock on which Oleander's portrait can be seen.]
[Image 8 ID: "Loboto" and Oleander at a wooden workbench. Oleander, grinning manically with his hands spread across a blueprint of the brain tank, is explaining his diabolical plan, as represented by word balloons depicting a child having their brain removed, the brain-tank shooting lighting, and Oleander holding the world in his palm. "Loboto" is leaning against the table with a finger on his chin in consideration, though a thought bubble reveals he is actually imagining Oleander as a strongman lifting a giant dumbbell, with little hearts floating around him.]
[Image 9 ID: Oleander and Cal in the Thorney Towers lab, working on the brain tank. Oleander is sitting on top of the tank's frame, holding a welding torch in one hand; he lifts his welders mask to chat with Cal with a big grin. Cal, lying on the ground next to the tank holding a screwdriver, actually pulls down his face mask to grin back. Mr. Pokeylope is visible in his cage in the background, and further back Sheegor walks in looking nervous and holding a jarred brain.]

Heya Roach,
Longtime follower (Been here since Lost Teeth like White Jewels), first time asker. I've mostly been a stick and mig welder at work. Well, mostly stick tbh, it feels the best, 7018 and 6010 my beloveds. But I'm trying my hand at fluxcore because I don't wanna deal with gas at home. I've done a little bit of NR-232, but I couldn't find any 232 in 12lb rolls, and it was such a picky wire as far as angle goes. So I'm going with NR-211-MP in .030. Which I've never used. Have you ever worked with 211, do you have any tips?
unfortunately no! im actually pretty bad at welding and i never remember anything about the settings i need to use and i can't actually do anything but MIG. luckily for me, you're allowed to be pretty bad at stuff when you're a man, so i continue to be just mediocre enough to earn a paycheck.
i would suggest finding the oldest guy at your workplace and asking him for help and then gritting your teeth through a lot of irrelevant advice in hopes you will get some good advice. it works more than it doesn't.
also i advise smashing the patriarchy so women can be mediocre at things too. i'm working on that one myself but don't expect the project will wrap up any time soon. good luck.
