Reva: You played me! The Grand Inquisitor: Like the cheap kazoo you are!
Shiri to Seventh: First rule of battle, little one... don’t ever let them know where you are. Eighth, shooting out of frame: WHOO-HOO! I’M RIGHT HERE! I’M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME O’ ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME ON! AAAAAH! Whoo-hoo! Shiri: 'Course, there’re other schools of thought.
Shiri: Guys, I have a question. Eighth: kys <3 Shiri: I love you too. Seventh: Ah, yes. Siblings.
The Grand Inquisitor: You are, of course, wondering why it is I have brought you here tonight. Shiri: Actually, Grand Inquisitor, after all these years, I just sort of go with it.
Seventh: You know what I’ve realized? Shiri: Some thoughts are better left unsaid? Seventh: Nice try, anyways-
The Grand Inquisitor: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I'll wait. Shiri: You and me!!! The Grand Inquisitor, tearing up: Okay.
Eighth, texting The Grand Inquisitor: I’m a theif. The Grand Inquisitor: Thief. Eighth: Theif. The Grand Inquisitor: I before E except after C. Eighth: Thceif. The Grand Inquisitor: NO.
Seventh: Nice rock. Fifth: Thanks, Shiri gave it to me. Shiri: I threw it at you! Fifth: Isn't she the sweetest?
The Grand Inquisitor: Reva, what are you doing? Reva: *shaking a cat shaped piggy bank* I’m just trying to figure out how much change I have inside. The Grand Inquisitor: You could always take it out and count it. Reva: Where’s the fun in that?
Shiri: Well Fifth, I have to say, I'm really disappointed. Fifth: Well, you didn't HAVE to say it. You could've just thought it.
Shiri: I'll offer you some friendly advice- The Grand Inquisitor: I don't want your advice. Shiri: Well, then consider it unfriendly advice.

Seventh: How are you today? The Grand Inquisitor: Please don’t make me think about my life.
Fifth: Caffeine no longer keeps me awake while I work, so instead I have Shiri periodically send me texts saying ‘we need to talk.’ Fifth: It gives me the right amount of adrenaline and fear I need to keep going.
Fifth: Just so everyone knows, don't ever try to climb a tree at night carrying a strobe light, owls DON'T like it. Shiri: ...what happened? Fifth: I made a VERY bad mistake.
Eighth: I woke up and chose VIOLENCE. I WILL COMMIT ARSON AND BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!! I AM ANGRY- Shiri: Awwww, you’re so adorable! Give me a hug~ Eighth: Wh-What? nO, yOURE SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OF ME! TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH- Fifth, recording: This is so cute.
Reva: I hate how you're just born out of nowhere, and you're forced to go to school and get education so you can get a job. What if I wanted to be a duck? No one ever asked me if I want to be a duck!
Seventh: Did you like the food I made? Fifth: No, not really. Seventh: But I put my heart and soul into it! Fifth: No wonder it tastes so cold and dead.
Fifth: Wow, did you hear that voice crack? Shiri: That wasn’t a voice crack, that was a whole voice meth.
Reva: I did it! I memorized everything in the book! I'm gonna ace this test! Shiri: Ok, Reva, I'll give you one more question before you go. What ended in 1918? Reva: 1917. Shiri: ...You're ready.
Reva: Thank you for not saying "I told you so." The Grand Inquisitor: When you’re as right as I am, you don’t have to say it.
Seventh: Everybody shut up, I'm thinking. Eighth, patting her on the back: Well, don’t think too hard. I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself.
Reva: I’m genuinely surprised you haven’t gotten arrested, let alone gotten a felony yet. Eighth: Nat 20 Charisma. Reva: That is NOT how that works-
Shiri: Guys, Eighth is missing. The Grand Inquisitor: Good.
Reva: Next time I'm at the pet store, I'm gonna take a hamster and drop it in the scorpion cage. I wanna see what a hamster's face looks like when it goes, "oh, fuck."
Fifth: *holding a salt packet* It’s just a little sodium chloride. Seventh: Actually Fifth, it’s salt. Fifth: That’s what I said, sodium chloride. Seventh: Uh Fifth, that would be salt. Seventh: *takes salt packer from Fifth* This is iodized table salt, which in addition to sodium chloride contains anti-caking agents and potassium iodate, which is added to prevent iodine deficiency. So not only are you being overly pretentious by insisting on using scientific terminology for everyday items, you are factually wrong. Your arrogance is your downfall, you annoying little shit.
Seventh: Did you like the food I made? Fifth: No, not really. Seventh: But I put my heart and soul into it! Fifth: No wonder it tastes so cold and dead.
Shiri: I found a note in one of my old word .docs that said Note to self: Get revenge on Eighth. Shiri: Except I couldn't remember what I was supposed to get revenge for. Shiri: But I trusted my own judgment, so I went with it. Eighth: Hmm... I don't know what you were supposed to get revenge for, either. Shiri: I can only assume you got what was coming to you. Not 100 percent sure, though. Eighth: Well, whatever I did, I guess I deserved it. Shiri: Let that possibly be a lesson to you.
Eighth: Hey, can you do me a favor? The Grand Inquisitor: Sorry, I have to go do literally anything other than this. Eighth: You don’t even have a legitimate reason? The Grand Inquisitor: Oh, no, I do. Eighth: Well, what is it? The Grand Inquisitor: You see, I simply don’t give a fuck.
Fifth: sSSSHIT- I BURNT MY LIP- Reva: ...Why the fuck would you even drink coffee with a METAL STRAW in the FIRST PLACE?? Fifth: BECAUSE WE WERE OUT OF THE PLASTIC ONES!
Fifth: Just be yourself. Say something nice. The Grand Inquisitor: Which one? I can't do both.
Eighth: *walks to cabinet, removes oreo box, takes half a sleeve, throws empty box out* Hi! The Grand Inquisitor: Hey- what are you doing-? Eighth, shoving an oreo into his mouth: I am saving space :D
Shiri: Grand Inquisitor, that was a stop sign. The Grand Inquisitor, driving: I’ll stop twice on the way back.
Seventh: C'mon, take one for the team. Reva: No, I don’t want to. Let the team fail.
Shiri: What are you two arguing about this time? The Grand Inquisitor: He's always using common phrases incorrectly! Eighth: Cry me a table, Grand Inquisitor.
Reva: Oh god, he texted you ‘hi.’’ Punctuation only means one thing, Seventh. He's mad at you. Seventh: No, it's The Grand Inquisitor. He's just being gramatically correct! *meanwhile* The Grand Inquisitor: And then I used a period so she'd know that I'm mad at her. Fifth: A period doesn't say 'I'm mad', it says 'you're dead to me'. The Grand Inquisitor: I stand by my choice.
Fifth: Seventh, what have I told you about staying out past your curfew? Seventh: I need to do it more often. Fifth: Exactly.
Reva: Do you know the ABCs of first aid? Seventh: A. Bone. Coming out of the skin is very bad.
Reva: I drink to forget but I always remember. Shiri: You're drinking orange juice.
Eighth: Shiri taught me to think before I act. Eighth: ...So if I smack the shit out of you, rest assured that I thought about it and am confident in my decision.
The Grand Inquisitor: Fifth, you're testifying in an aggravated assault case tomorrow, and the D.A. is worried about how you'll present yourself on the stand. Fifth: Why? I'm fine on the stand! *flashback to Testimony #1* Fifth: Look, I'll make this real simple so even these dumdums can understand. Fifth, to the jury: MAN DID CRIME. *flashback to Testimony #2* Fifth: I'm sorry, could you make her stop doing that weird thing with her face? Defense Attorney, next to the crying defendant: ...Crying? *flashback to Testimony #3* Fifth: And when this is over, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna break those little fingers. Judge: Could the witness please stop threatening the stenographer?
Eighth: What kind of animal is the Pink Panther? The Grand Inquisitor: Eighth, say that again, but slowly. Eighth, slowly: That again. The Grand Inquisitor: screams
Fifth: I’m playing a new drinking game. Fifth: It’s called “Every time I’m depressed, I take a drink.” Shiri: That game exists. It’s called alcoholism. Fifth: Shiri:
Seventh: seductively takes off glasses Seventh: Wow... Eighth: blushes Haha... what? Seventh: You're really fucking blurry.
Fifth: Hey Reva, can I get some ice cream? Reva: Only a spoonful! Fifth: *Proceeds to pull out a comically large spoon*
Shiri: Don’t worry, I know exactly what I’m doing. Everything is going to be fine! The Grand Inquisitor: How can you still say that? Shiri: Because sometimes, when things get tough, denial is all we have.

Aisling was in the middle of maybe a book. however, she feel a weight place itself on top of her where she looked down she would found that possum theif. casually dressed and resting her chin as green eys look at her "..Don't get ant ideas. it's fuckin' cold n' you're a walking heater."
The large bear smirked slightly. "Cold, huh? And it would have nothing to do with the fact that I'm resting naked? Or that your head is placed perfectly on my tits?"
She teased, ruffling the possum's hair before giving her roommate an embrace. "Well let me warm you up more if you're so cold!"

i want t consume a media where there is a cunning gentleman theif who is handsome and charming and a woman. highwayman pirate whatever she needs to be deadly, full of charisma, and she needs to Take Your Stuff.
And i don’t want her to get romanced into becoming boring good either, if she gets a redemption story she should still break unjust laws at the very least. and if she gets a lover they better not control her.
She should also be at least some amount of lame.
if anyone has a recommendation i’d appreciate it if not i’ll have to make her up and think about her when i listen to stand and deliver by adam ant

*Dreamsmp Spoilers*
This is a dumb theory brain rot post, bc I don’t like this society.
Also sorry I couldn’t put this on read more I’m on my phone frantically typing this before some shit happens and I miss it
Hey y’all know how philza eluded to ghostza ...
Yeah anyway I’ve got a theory and I hope to Fullerton’s mother that I am not right.
Any who Tommy’s in prison with dream we know this blah blah blah... Tommy’s immune blah blah blah..
Sam runs the prison you know old news, however he hired some new people to help... aka the egg cultist... well as we know mr sammy wammy has supposedly fought back the egg or is currently hiding the fact that he is still fighting back the egg. Yeah so if he’s already been infected, it would be easier to fully corrupt him.
We also know that the egg has a lot of enemies as of right now but it also has a few allies. A few powerful allies that can be put on par with their enemies. However their enemies have a few attachments lying around, you know techno, philza and Ranboo; Karl, quackity and sapnap; Sam and ponk(???); puffy and foolish. What I’m saying is that some of their enemies are incredibly weak or they can be used against another player.
Yeah so those mother fuckers get ahold of some of them, then possibly they’re could be some failure on the smp. Which could lead in permanent deaths for some (cough -phil and tubbo) or losing a life or even possible egg corruption. And right now the only people who can’t really be infected are dream and tommy because they are in prison.
What I’m really saying is that Bad and Ant could corrupt Sam and take over the prison to possibly corrupt others... they might also make the mistake of showing dream or tommy to brag to them or try to get them on their side. All this could lead up to is Tommy and Dream(possibly if he’s actually changed and isn’t being a complete asshole) having to do a team up moment and help save everyone. :| whether it be by rallying all those who possibly died and lost their shit, or those who just haven’t gotten involved.
Some other things that are noteworthy.
-Ponk is a theif he knows the value of things for what they are and straight up gave tommy that many diamonds despite all of that. Was he trying to I don’t know help Tommy because he’s still on edge about the egg thing or was it all just a bit.
-Sam bro we don’t know if he fought off the egg successfully and he was very much against the egg only to allow both Bad and Ant to become GUARDS?!?!?
-Karl and the time travel stuff, I ain’t got a clue but with the theories on tubbo and him going to see tommy from exile and that’s why no one ever saw Tubbo when tommy did. Yeah so what if they get stuck there(or in the other place) and are unable to help the smp while they get infected, also one of the main dreamon hunters as well. Could cause some chaos with the pro omelette thinking that they have the two?
-Tommy’s immune = Prime’s CHOSEN ONE
-colour theory for one sec if the prison gets infected like the box they put skeppy in, then it would make the prison red after it being black then after red it would turn white. So it would be Blackstone Brick, Nether(or Red Nether) Brick and then Quartz Brick. Those are all materials from the nether aka HELL.
- Yeah so the mansion wasn’t affected even though egg was there at one point, mansion is also white. By that theory the Church is also white and purple. Two colours primarily shows to be affected or shown on the egg Red and blue make purple(cough -skephalo lol no). Any who Church can’t be affected, only safe place? Last point yeah who by the purple thing as well could this mean that purpled is unaffected/immune.

 Talking With Trees Again
Part 2 
By the time I found out I really was a tree-talker, I was in my 30’s and trying to manage a place to meditate out by a huge old Wild Cherry. To be honest I had completely forgotten the incident when I was 5; even the parts where the tree predicted what would happen in my future. 
After we moved into the rickety old 1920s cabin in the woods (after making extensive repairs) I was taking time to find my way around. I had suddenly felt the Earth pull me down to the ground and it seemed as if I had found “My Place” in the world. But the ants were maniacal! Hundreds of them: red and delicate black and red & black and heavy black in every size conceivable.  Fire ants, Carpenter ants, Theif Ants and not to be outdone, Crazy Ants.  You name it, I was awash in them. There was no way to manage it so I could be in “MY spot”. After all the Earth called me…told me that was it.  So I thought, why not?  “Uh, tree? ‘Scuze me, but do you know how I could ask the ants to leave me some space there?”
“….Peppers!”  You could feel it start before there was any interpretation yet.  The energy sort of “arrived” next to your head and eased it’s way in. ???  Suddenly I understood what it meant.
Like a child whose stuck in molasses, “Ya mean like hot peppers?” 
Instantaneous definitive response: silent “DUHHH.”  The tree feared the worst! That one took less than a 1/100th of a second.
“…..And how do I do this, exactly?”
The tree realized he would have to explain. There was a slight chagrin, even apologetic tenor in his reply.
“Ah.  Well, uh, go to the store.
Buy some peppers.     …are you still with me..?”
“Store, Peppers, right! Carry on!”
Seeming to realize that I was not literally in molasses, he continued with some version of civility. “About 1 full pound, hottest peppers…”
“Like Habaneros or hotter? I’m not sure what they will have.” I asked, obtuse to the last..
Sigh. “Habaneros will be fine.” He continued, a bit exasperated.  “Cut carefully (use gloves and wash hands thoroughly, even after gloves. Do not touch seeds.) Bring to boil for 10 minutes in 1 gallon water, let cool. Strain juice.”
“Pour at least 1 quart pepper juice on ground where you would like to sit.”  (At which point he seemed to suggest a spot close to his trunk but not touching where I had felt the strong pull to sit.) “Allow juice to dry. The ants will abandon that spot, no harm to you or them. Keep area misted with juice for the first few days/weeks-- remember to always use a ground covering to protect you from the spray.     And uhhh, (pause...sigh)  please forgive me. I regret rudeness.”
 Needless to say I was hooked. What a guy! Friendly?… well, he grew more so after we got better acquainted. I once asked him, after that beginning, if he was always snippy with other ppl.  He said he hadn’t had any ppl for the last 40 years. Before that it had been another 50 and before that it had been over 200. He said people showed up, made themselves to home and them abandoned him.  “Tsk tsk, now now, such a fuss from a great big old Wild Cherry such as yourself! I thought the Native people used to say the Wild Cherry was for healing the heart. So what happened?” 
This was the one and only time I felt him sort of dig his north west roots into the ground, (???) all very “aw, shucks, ma’am” embarrassed over his indulgences. It was faint and fleeting but unmistakable. In spite of every effort to keep a straight face, I couldn’t help but laugh! And then... he laughed, too.
  There was no mistake that the huge specimen was located right in the center of my new yard.
One day I noticed some bulges in the bark nearly the size of my fist on the North side of the tree and suddenly they were oozing sap. Alarmed, I asked what was wrong, what can I do, what do you need?
He showed no concern at all. I pressed for answers. Offered a Tree Arborist, even. He explained that he was grumpy when I first roused him from his “withdrawal”  because he was beginning his energy release. He had started a little too early but figured it wouldn’t really matter if he took his time about it. Finally I realized he meant his death. It was time for him to shut down and there was a long slow ritual of energy release (for some trees) prior to leaving the structure he had created. After much discussion on my part he said he was “gratified” to know the extent of my emotion for him but that it was the way life worked. He made me promise to allow him the dignity to release his work as he saw fit. It would be a good lesson in acceptance!
This tree was not my first but he was my formal teacher in Nature. If I mourn him for long he will send wily shoots up through his old decayed roots as if to say, “I am not dead yet!!! Stop assuming what you do not understand!!!”  He taught with extraordinary measures and went so far as to throw light and rainbows out in moments of my revelations! He was extraordinary and I would give so much to still have him as my companion.
 Now, after spending years in different places, I am once again back to the old cabin in the woods and counting what is left of the days I can say that word--Woods. This beautiful wilderness has survived all my life and fed heart and soul exactly as I wished. Soon it will be gone. They have planted once-open pastures with crop pine and sold everything else to developers.  The yearly fires to clear it have been burned. Contractors and surveyors tramp the land now marking off the Bald Cypress Swamps to be drained and filled, and huge 400+ year old Live Oaks to be cut, sawn to dust or sold to pulp mills.  My current lesson in acceptance!!!
I need to scout out the trees who show a preference for teaching and a level of patience to match the masterful Wild Cherry. It will take some planning and have to be done carefully before hunting season begins. This section of State Forest is not carefully protected and people interested in trees are at risk.  I want to learn all I can before it’s too late.
