Even the Just A Girl Who Loves Anime And Sketching Kawaii Anime Girl Funny T-shirt also I will do this lady who told them looked like she thought it was ridiculous. In no way is that meat legal for human consumption. Some of its gonna are nice. I always thought it was turned into dry food. We emptied them at least once a month, more depending on the season. The doc in general really glossed over the obvious rampant drug use. The first time I watched Breaking Bad, I did not like Skyler. The second time I watched it, I sympathized more with her and understood her more. A French bulldog puppy costs more than a tiger cub.

About this, about anything, just keep communicating! You sound like a great dad. I think the Just A Girl Who Loves Anime And Sketching Kawaii Anime Girl Funny T-shirt also I will do this play here is that the other girls at the party now think something is up with the SB so in that regard the daughter has the upper hand. Her dad wasn’t visibly upset so on the outside it would look like something is wrong with the SB that seemingly meant she had to leave because of a family secret of some sort. My buddies and I have our playful jabs about everything from driving styles, food preferences, and behavioral traits, but anything even related to monetary status or social class is off-limits. Wow. I had a 5 for ages and the only reason I upgraded is that my friend dropped it into a bucket of paint my senior year. Still miss it a bit, fit much better in the tiny-ass pockets on girl jeans.

Lockdown Diary Part 9

A personal account during the lockdown in the UK due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

23/03/2020 8:30pm Boris Johnson, UK Prime Minister, gives a live address to the nation to, effectively, put the country on lockdown to stem the spread of the deadly coronavirus strain, Covid-19.

Many of us have been self-isolating for days but this latest development within the UK in reaction to the pandemic feels very serious and very scary. I decided to keep a simple diary and where better but online.

Day 241: Shit day at work. To cut a long story short, I could complete a task Sueanne gave to me and then I got it in the ear, including a snotty email ay 5:40pm. Pissed off.

Day 242: Had a meeting with Sueanne (our weekly 1-2-1 actually) and she was alright. I feel much better tonight. Last night I didn’t even have an appetitie - unheard of! Going to make up for that tonight, pie and loads of veg! A much better day. Ridiculously, I believe yesterday was all my own fault - I take work for granted sometimes and I let myself down by ignoring the urgency of a task just because it was Sueanne asking me to do it and she was a peer. She is now my boss, and I should respect that.

Day 243: So-so day at work. It’s strange how used to work I am after over six months on furlough. It’s been less than two months back but all the highs and lows amd frustrations are commonplace. Most importantly, it being Thursday, I cannot wait for tomorrow eveninga dn to kick back, drink and smoke. Spoke to dad this morning, he’s same as...that’s always good to know. Sugar levels have been a fucking roller coaster today, and it has really fucked me off! No salad at lunch due to them being so fucking high when I got back from my walk. It ended up being my tea. Sarted watching The Undoing...it’s OK.

Day 244: Glad it is Friday. Just cooking a (very hot) chicken madras, cracked open my first beer. Gonna eat, drink, smoke and watch a good film.

Day 245: Gold was the film I watched last night, with Matthew McConaughey and it was a good choice. I then watch a Kevin Hart stand up show on Netflix...very Eddie Murphy, very funny. I did a 12 km walk today...fucking felt it in my legs. Walked the footpath from Stoke Doyle road to Benefield road for the first time. I liked it and it comes out between Lytham Park and Wakerley Close....I posted on FB about the fact that when I move to Oundle, Clifton Drive was the last street heading out of town. Saw Becks on the walk down Benefield road, She mentioned she’s tired of lockdown. I replied that I’m tired of the virus!

Day 246: Up at 1pm, nice long walk, ordered new slippers and waterproof jacket (my Craghopper is bust again).

Day 247: I screwed up at work today, went for a (ridiculously) late lunch right when I was meant to be at an online meeting that Sueanne had reminded me about in the morning. There’s mitigation but, when push comes to shove, I fucked up and now Sueanne’s on the warpath - one more slip up and it’ll be an offical disciplinary matter.

Day 248: Suzanne wants me to troubleshoot a ticket she has in her queue, some database request for a Cork guy. It’s a test and it’s fucking me off.

I did testing for a network change tonight...8 till 11:15pm.

Elliot and Aaron cleaned the windows today. It was nice to see them.

Rita sent a couple of emails recently. Dad’s ear is all clear but Paul has got testicular cancer.

Day 249: New waterproof jacket arrived today. It’s very nice, bargain for £25 odd. Also picked up slippers from M&S food hall in Corby so, while over their, did a shop at Tesco’s...£109 mainly booze.

By the time I was back, I ended up doing my evening walk at 9.30pm!

Day 250: Leigh from Oundle Chronicle has got back to me. She (he?) has selected the photos that are going to be in the article and wants me to write a sentence on each - where they were taken and what inspited me to do so. Whether that means the stuff I wrote before is not going to be used, or not, I dunno! New slippers are OK and the new jacket is still impressing me.

Day 251: Typing on Day 252. Usual Friday, beers, meatballs, pizza, long chat with Fog. I should mention that, as we approach the end of Lockdown2 in England, Boris and his government have laid out a three tier structure for how the second lockdown will be eased. It’s caused confusion and consternation across the board. None of it affects me, still isolating like I was on day 1. Day 252: Totally forgot about my diary entry yesterday! Up at 1pm, nice long walk, nipped rong Elliots to pay for my windows, had a chat with him, Artron and Camilla - it’s so nice to socialise! Gonna make fish pie and supp a few ales. Day 253: The weekend is over way too quickly. It’s 7.30pm on Sunday as I type and I wish it wasn’t. I wish it was 7.30pm on Friday. Day 254: In a meeting, a working Zoom, with Andy Ashler in the US re: qfiniti, which Sueanne pissed me off about earlier in te day (RCI diary updated), but the meeting went well. I am desparately trying to buy an iPad on Black Monday. As usual with tech, I cannot make my mind up which to buy! Day 255: I haven’t bought an iPad....I’ll wait for the 10.2″ iPad to come down in price. I had more involvement with Andy Ashler and in the US with the Qfiniti project at work. I’m really enjoying it, it’s very technical...although I didn’t finish ‘til 6pm because of it. The Oundle Chronicle is out and an article about me and my pics is on the back page. Leigh, the editor, sent it to me electronically. It’s good. I am chuffed! Day 256: I booked some holidays today, making sure that I didn’t include any days off in the week December 14-18 (SB’s off). So, this coming Friday (4th Dec), Next Weds-Fri and Monday 21st. I know I have only been back from Furlough a couple of months but I am more than ready for some kick-back time. 1-2-1 with SB today, it was a relaxed affair, most espcially becaus eof my success thus far with the Qfiniti project - that being said, I got pretty much nowhere with it today. Ordered a couple of long sleeved Ts and a fleeced hoody from a shop called Doubletwo today, well cheap in the sale. I saw half a dozen joggers on the Milton Road blind bend tonight, oblivious to any other potential path user. I posted about it (in my own, sarcastic way) on the Oundle Chatter FB group. It was met how I’d expected plus some direct digs so I deleted it. Cowardly but, I figure, I don’t get my point across, the vast majority of joggers really don’t think they are doing anything wrong by bulldozing there way around town and, lastly, I couldn’t be bothered with the flak, and its tennis like back-and-forth!

Day 257: Got tomorrow off so worked late tying up loose ends, including the qfiniti project - fucking nuts really, making sure no one asks any questions of SB or the team, in terms of my work load, for just one day off! Still, just had tea, cracked open a beer and am watching Shaun of the Dead. Nice.

Day 258: The main thing I did today is walk. It was about 12km but felt much longer ‘cos it was wintry, pissing down, windy and slippery as fuck. And I really enjoyed it! Badge messaged me today to ask how I am and, in replying, I mentioned that I think I am becoming addicted to walking...it wasn’t a throwaway comment. Just cooked up a chilli (which I think I have ruined with a Knorr beef stock pot), and will tuck in with beers, smokes and telly. While it’s been a day off, this Friday evening will be as all others are at the moment, late, drunken and solitary fun - no doubt.

Day 259: Typing on day 260. That chilli last night was actually OK. Plus I ‘invented’ a meatball wrap - moving on from the TikTok ham and cheese wrap you fold into the toaster, I tried the same with meatballs but no fucking way could I fold it into the toaster slot (pissed up kitchen shenanigans), so I wrapped it in tin foil and heated it in the oven, Fucking delicious. I watched Shaun of the Dead. I think it’s the first time since its release and I couldn’t help thinking “zombies just aren’t like that [in real life]” Wtf?

Day 260: I was quite sensible (for a Saturday) last night, in bed by 2am, up at my alarm this morning, 10:30am. Nice long walk, taking in a new path up by Biggin Grange and took plenty of pics that turned out really good. Btw, posh lost yesterday at Portsmouth (with 2000 fans there) and they lost midweek and last weekend in the FA Cup to Chorley, at home.

Day 261: It’s freezing today...actually 0 degrees. This house is so fucking cold, even with the heating on.

Day 262: Typing on day 263. Last day of work for 5 days. Beers are in order. And a sausage casserole. Day 263: I completely forgot to do a diary entry yesterday....concentrating on starting my work break off on the right foot, which I did. As a result, I didn’t get up until 1pm. So, to stop that sort of day wasting, no beers tonight. Just got back from a shop (£90 in Tesco’s), trying to sort out Romiley’s Christmas present, then something to eat (more sausage casserole) and a early, sober night.

Day 264: So, after abstinence last night, I was up before 11am and did a walk that included the track from Benefield Road to Monson Way past Park Wood. It was fucking hard work due to mud. I have lost coumd the amount of times I nearly slipped right over. Throw into that a hypo, the 12-13km walk was tough. Sorted out Romiley’s present (guitar stand, music stand and guitar exercises book). Took soime nice photos today as well which I’ve prepared and shared. No booze today/tonight either. Some break, a younger me would say!

Day 265: Friday, and I am typing with a beer, balti on the hob and I am just gonna choose a film and roll a single skinner. I am knackered. Up at 10am, cleaned the hall and stairs after a 10km walk. Also, I spoke with dad who is, as always, fine.

Time to make up for the last two sober nights.

Day 266: I am typing this on day 267. So drunk last night I left nearll a full can of beer and went to bed in my jogging bottoms and t-shirt. I have had a day off from any exercise at all which felt very odd. A few beers and watched Snatch. Day 267: While I was nowhere near drunk last night, due to sleeping in late (2pm) I was up ‘til 3am watching TikTok so today I struggled out of bed at just before 1pm. Watch the start of the season’s final GP (Verstappen won from pole and it was boring af), back on the exercising including a 9km walk. Back to work tomorrow which I feel totally conflicted about! Posh won yesterday at home to Rochdale (with the allowed 2000 fans) 4-1 including a 17 minute first half hatrick from Jonson Clarke-Harris.

Day 268: Back to work - Sueanne’s off and it’s the first day I’ve been at work with Jon in charge which involves a daily ‘SUMO’ (whatever that acronym stands for?) at 9.30am every day. I am still involved with te qfiniti upgrade project which seems to have taken a step backwards in the 3 days I had off, so I was working until gone 9.30pm! I have decided to do a quiz, hopefully for Christmas, whereby I don’t want the actual answers (to 25 particular questions, all with a common theme in the answer), merely an omitted question!

Day 269: Stand Up Meeting Online. SUMO. Ian Bird told me. I might struggle with double Y for my quiz. Work was OK, more Qfiniti stuff. Posh drew away to MK 1-1. Posh were 0-1 up but Lincs lost at home. I can’t undertsand why that pleases me so....oh, yeah I can Steve Dee.

Day 270: Struggling to order Dad and Rita booze for Christmas without it being a Morrison’s delivery that I can do through Amazon Prime. That would be OK but it’s just a bit clinical! Meanwhile, now I am paying for Prime, and they are showing some Premiership games (for example, tonight I watched Liverpool v. Spurs (2-1), I really have to contact Sky - I am paying £71pm atm! Sam posted pic of her Christmas tree but mentioned how she’s finding it hard to get in the spirit - Paul has testicular cancer and the outlook is bleak - fuck know’s what she’s going through with all that, trying to shield Romiley from the worst without lying!

ok i’m jus gonna compile this shit here

roooughly 26 GB, maybe 1k SB but its absolutely gonna be much more.I’m totally estimating over 30 GB in total, which is gonna hurt a Little but its all for that sweet sweet king thats all for my pleasure

Thats also not counting buying a Maziwa base, since I’m working at breeding them if I can, but if I cant, i’ll probs buy em

..All in all, its definitely gonna get pricey as all hell and i’m excited bc i want to DO it. I’ve been in love with more natural looking kings(and margay markings) for a while now and desire it deeply

Plus, it’ll be a nice break from Rosettes. I love them too, but.. Still.

The entire estimate also isn’t taking into account certain markings I’ll need to get applicators for, and possible marking removers and repeat applicators.

#lioden #mmm long term project #I know i have one already working but STILLLL

..sbs chatroom log with @alessafalling (littlefaethatcould), @darlapettaline (darlindarla), @ephrampettaline (bigfruit), @freddiewatts (libellule), @imviapassmeabeer, and @odettewrites

bigfruit: hi bigfruit: i'm wondering if anybody knows what happened to that fountain in Fountainelle Square that used to call people shitheads

Libellule: It doesn't do that anymore? Libellule: I tend to give Fountainelle Square a wide berth.

bigfruit: it's not there anymore at all! there's a blowup dinosaur instead with a big lipstick mouth on it, kind of gross

Libellule: Does it call people shitheads?

bigfruit: it called me something else that i won't repeat here bigfruit: not that it was /wrong/ persay

Libellule: Oh, go on, now you have to say it.

bigfruit: hey I don't even know you! I'm not gonna wave my dirty lipstick dinosaur laundry out in public for you to get your jollies

Libellule: You're the one who brought it up. Clearly there's a part of you that /wants/ to share.

bigfruit: I mentioned it in case somebody ventured into Fountainelle Square and didn't know the situation bigfruit: i'm a goddamn civic hero

Libellule: Anyone going to Fountainelle Square was swimming at their own risk. They already knew what was waiting for them. Libellule: Sort of, at least.

bigfruit: some people don't mind being called shitheads though. Some people pay good money for the privilige

Libellule: So you're saying nobody would want to be called what the dinosaur called you?

Odette: I am so lost.

darlindarla: how's a girl get into getting paid that good money to call people shitheads?

bigfruit: I don't know about you but I don't like makeupped blowups comparing my junk to junk food

Libellule: A good corset and pair of boots would be a good start.

bigfruit: Darla this is the wrong chatroom for that bigfruit: Odette hi *waves* Are you new here?

Odette: uhh... yes? where am I? I think I ended up here by mistake.

darlindarla: honey it's never the wrong chatroom for that

Libellule: I agree with Darla. 😉

bigfruit: Odette it's a public town chatroom for Soapberry residents so you're not maybe as lost as you thought 😄

Libellule: Hello, Odette.

bigfruit: Maybe you Libellule and Darla can find some common ground then

darlindarla: i'm new here too sugar don't you worry yourself

Libellule: I could find common ground with you too, bigfruit, if you'd tell me what the dinosaur said. haha

Odette: Oh... that's... okay... definitely clicked on the wrong thing, so hi.

bigfruit: Nope. If you want to know what it said then start guessing and before you ask it did /not/ compare my tackle to a Twinkie.

darlindarla: nah a twinkie's probably too big 😉 darlindarla: but what's all this about a dinosaur?

Odette: ... please tell me it's not Barney.

bigfruit: There used to be a fountain in Fountainelle Park that called people shitheads and now it's gone and there's a blow up dinosaur there instead that wears a lot of lipstick and compares your private parts to other things

darlindarla: ah, well then. i'll have to go down there and give it a whirl

Odette: same

darlindarla: plenty of sweet things it could say to me i'm sure

bigfruit: Darla sure or you could just accept that it's gonna compare your tits to m&ms right now and save yourself the trip

Odette: ouch

Libellule: You're certain the fountain's gone? I mean, it could have just been a glamour.

bigfruit: What kind of fairy would waste their time making an ugly rude fountain?

Libellule: A bored fairy.

bigfruit: Isn't that all fairies

darlindarla: Hey now! I'm proud of my m&m tits.

Libellule: Though I can't justify the ugliness.

darlindarla: they melt in your mouth and not your hands 😉

Libellule: Got something against fairies, bigfruit?

bigfruit: Libellule no, I'm just saying

imvipassmeabeer: whats up ladies, gents, and neither-beings?

bigfruit: Hi Vi, Vi hi

imvipassmeabeer: hey big fruit! imvipassmeabeer: or imvipassmeabeer: bigfruit

Libellule: Hello. 🙂

bigfruit: yes all one word please it is my stage name bigfruit: LOL

imvipassmeabeer: so there's a missing fountain? imvipassmeabeer: oh neat-o imvipassmeabeer: that's cool bigfruit imvipassmeabeer: I wish I was that cool

bigfruit: TOUGH CROWD

darlindarla: *throws tomato*

bigfruit: *makes tomato rose, is awesome*

Odette: so... big fruit... like... what... a pineapple?

imvipassmeabeer: *catched tomato and takes a bite* imvipassmeabeer: darn I just ate a rose

Libellule: I eat them all the time. 😉

imvipassmeabeer: or a 🍆

Libellule: You'll develop a taste for them now. lol

bigfruit: Odette bigger bigfruit: Vi are eggplants fruits?!?

darlindarla: a watermelon? you should probably get that check out bigfruit darlindarla: sounds like a medical issue if you ask me

imvipassmeabeer: libellule please no, I can't afford that as a habit

Odette: a bigger fruit than a pineapple? i'll have to google.

bigfruit: Don't slander melons they are the most noble of fruit

Odette: i also liked that pineapples are prickly

bigfruit: Odette WOW that's quite an insight on your sex life for somebody who's not anon

imvipassmeabeer: ACTUALLY imvipassmeabeer: BIGFRUIT imvipassmeabeer: Fact: While it's generally thought of as a vegetable, eggplant is actually a fruit.

Odette: hahahaha. yeah my sex life is presently non existent so

imvipassmeabeer: thank's google imvipassmeabeer: thanks*

darlindarla: I'm sure they make pineapple dildos Odette

bigfruit: Vi good to know! I think

Odette: but the biggest is actually a type of pumpkin

darlindarla: pricklies and all

Odette: ha! yeah they have... all different sorts of those.

imvipassmeabeer: how fun

bigfruit: okay so since we're talking about dildos the best ones come from a shop in town called Barbarella

darlindarla: ain't the internet a wonderful place?

bigfruit: that's my public service announcement for the day

imvipassmeabeer: on 32nd?

Libellule: bigfruit, I couldn't agree more

bigfruit: or should i say my /pubic/ service announcement

imvipassmeabeer: been there done that

bigfruit: hor hor har

imvipassmeabeer: o imvipassmeabeer: m imvipassmeabeer: g

Odette: the internet is... didn't realize there was a place in town, though.

darlindarla: well shit, I guess I know where I'm checking out tomorrow

bigfruit: Wait Odette did you just say the biggest fruit alive is a type of pumpkin? What is it?

Libellule: bigfruit's right - it's the best. All custom made

Odette: atlantic giant or something Odette: biggest and heaviest so

bigfruit: Libellule you're a customer too? They're the greatest have you tried their other things that aren't dildos

Libellule: I've tried nearly everything, I think

bigfruit: Odette I should get one for pie

Libellule: Or do you mean in Barbarella specifically? haha

Odette: so the fruit bakes

bigfruit: the fruit has alllll sorts of talents! bigfruit: wait you made it sound like I'm a cannibal eating my fellow fruits bigfruit: Libellule yeah Barbarella specifically but it sounds like you got plenty of range?

Libellule: I'm going to call you Pumpkin from now on, bigfruit.

Odette: as long as you do it in a condescending tone

Libellule: Barbarella, I'm just starting to work my way through. You?

bigfruit: aw I like that though! Call me Pumpkin, call me anything you want just don't call me maybe

Libellule: Pumpkin.... that's terrible.

Odette: do any of you have pets?

bigfruit: Libellule they make custom toys! And I am an imaginative guy. Even if you don't like my jokes sheesh bigfruit: Odette no! Do you?

littlefaethatcould: what have i arrived into good god

Libellule: I know they make custom toys! lol I said so before.

bigfruit: littlefae Just a lively discussion among your fellow townsfolks

Odette: no, but i've been thinking about getting one.

bigfruit: Libellule RIGHT hah hah I get distracted easily in big groups sorry

Libellule: And I didn't say I don't like your jokes, Pumpkin - I just said that they're terrible. lol

darlindarla: I don't have no pets, no. currently don't have a place of my own anyway, so.

bigfruit: Darla what would you have for a pet if you could bigfruit: Odette ^^

darlindarla: probably a cute little Bichon Frise

bigfruit: Darla language

darlindarla: got cute lil faces and great hair, like me

imvipassmeabeer: Odette I've been thinkin' of getting one too

Odette: I don't know... a cat, maybe? They;re fairly low maintenance.

imvipassmeabeer: that's what I was thinking, they're independent

Libellule: Birds are quite nice

darlindarla: as long as they ain't chickens, good god

bigfruit: There's lots of weird magic animals you can have as pets though bigfruit: Did I say weird? I meant FUN

imvipassmeabeer: okay shoot, bigfruit

Libellule: Personal favourites, bigpumpkin?

Odette: like what?

bigfruit: bigpumpkin omg

Libellule: You love it

bigfruit: There's a thing called a hippopotaless, it's like a guinea pig sized hippo that only eats cereal

Libellule: What sort of cereal?

Odette: 😮

bigfruit: And a milk marmoset, it can learn up to seven words and it sings but its voice sounds like an oboe

darlindarla: still sounds better than my singing voice

bigfruit: Libellule are you making fun of me? Cereal! Mostly the kinds shaped like O's

Libellule: Can you teach it 7 words of your choosing, or does it just pick things up?

imvipassmeabeer: yeah cause they would probably pick up my cursing

Libellule: I'm not making fun! That was a legitimate question!

darlindarla: same here vi lol

bigfruit: I don't know I was just reading the info sheets at the Boffo Beasties Shelter

imvipassmeabeer: I don't think my neighbors would appreciate the little thing calling out curses while I'm at work

Libellule: I only like the sugary sorts of cereal, so I'd prefer if I only had to buy one box at a time.

Odette: If I heard, that and found out it was a pet, I would laugh

Libellule: I couldn't abide a pet that lived on bran.

bigfruit: Why do you wish bad gut health on your pet

Libellule: I don't!

darlindarla: i think i'll stick with a dog

Libellule: I mean, I'm assuming if it only eats cereal, it can eat whatever sort it likes - unless otherwise specified

bigfruit: You could get a cocodog, they can levitate

Libellule: But then wouldn't it just mess on things from a great height?

Odette: are there any pets that clean up?

bigfruit: Libellule I guess you could train them to eat whatever you give them, not like they have credit cards to go pick up Apple Smacks their own selves

Libellule: True

bigfruit: Cocodogs are kind of snobby they need their own bathroom and shower products bigfruit: Odette that might be up your alley? bigfruit: I mean because they're self-maintaining! Not saying you want a snob dog persay 😄

darlindarla: definitely not for me then. I'm the only snob in my life

Odette: ahahaha. i meant you know, like doing the dishes or something.

bigfruit: I think a tiny hippo would be real cute, I would tie a pink ribbon around its chubby little neck bigfruit: Odette that's called children lol

Odette: ... you obviously know nothing about childrem

littlefaethatcould: and even children won't do that most days

Odette: children

bigfruit: I was a child once! I did the dishes a lot.

Libellule: Dishwashers are low maintenance. lol

darlindarla: lbr children are basically pets until they're 18

bigfruit: You can get your dishwasher enchanted so the dishes fly in there themselves, that's what they have at the Stonefruit Inn

Libellule: The Stonefruit Inn is /gorgeous/

Odette: I think they're pets until 24 at least.

imvipassmeabeer: Obvi imvipassmeabeer: Stonefruit is one of my fav in town

bigfruit: Libellule It is thanks 🙂

darlindarla: i used to babysit and i'm never having kids. those beasts destroyed my motherly instinct

bigfruit: Darla doesn't sound like you had much of that to begin with LOL

Odette: kids are not for everyone

darlindarla: you know what bigfruit? darlindarla: that's fair

bigfruit: I don't mean that badly! It's better that people realize it BEFORE they have the children imo

Libellule: Not all children are terrible though. I have a nephew who's adorable.

Odette: oh, i'm not saying that, but i've seen too many parents who just... shouldn't be.

darlindarla: oh i'm not offended y'all. I know i'd be a shit mother

bigfruit: Odette YOU GOT THAT RIGHT

Odette: i love kids. most of them, most of the time. Odette: thought i'd have one or two? but alas.

darlindarla: nieces and nephews though, that's a different story. you can spoil them up and hand them back not having to deal with the consequences. darlindarla: though i doubt I'll ever have any at this rate

Libellule: Any kids or any nieces or nephews?

darlindarla: i mean both

littlefaethatcould: did you want any of both?

darlindarla: kids of my own? hell no. I wouldn't mind nieces or nephews though darlindarla: lil kin can be cute if i ain't responsible for them

Libellule: Do you have a lot of brothers and sisters?

littlefaethatcould: lol don't turn into one of those grannies that always ask when the kids are coming tho

darlindarla: a brother and a sister, but I don't got my hopes up

bigfruit: littlefae Those grannies are great though!

Libellule: Why not?

littlefaethatcould: ohhh i don't know bigfruit, they can get feisty the longer nothing happens XD littlefaethatcould: thankfully i'm not the oldest so I don't get a lot of evil eyes

bigfruit: littlefae Hah hah true enuf, there's always some sours in the assorted granny packs

darlindarla: libellule i just don't think either of them want kids? I mean I ain't asked them but i can read between the lines

Libellule: Fair enough.

darlindarla: my sister's sworn off relationships pretty much, and my brother's married to a man. There's adoption, but he ain't ever told me about wanting youngins darlindarla: not that he tells me much darlindarla: fuck y'all, how'd we get from dildos to this? darlindarla: let's lighten this place up, christ alive

littlefaethatcould: shit this conversation started with dildos?

bigfruit: Don't look at me I was imaginary dressing my imaginary tiny hippo

darlindarla: technically it started with a rude fountain that called people shitheads darlindarla: but ANYHOW darlindarla: where's the best place to get a drink in this town?

bigfruit: The Stonefruit Inn.

Libellule: I agree with bigpumpkin. The Stonefruit is the best of everything in Soapberry.

darlindarla: eh, i've had better

bigfruit: Darla Well your taste is questionable

Libellule: Clearly

bigfruit: The Devil's Midwife isn't bad though.

darlindarla: i just came here to have a good time and i feel so attacked right now darlindarla: 😜

Libellule: I've never had a drink in there, I don't think.

imvipassmeabeer: It's pretty awesome imvipassmeabeer: I heard the bartender's amazing

Libellule: At the Devil's Midwife?

imvipassmeabeer: she can do all these spelled drinks and shit imvipassmeabeer: no imvipassmeabeer: the Stonefruit imvipassmeabeer: obviously

Libellule: OH! Yes!

darlindarla: vi you ain't that anon with that name 😉

Libellule: The current bartender is the best they've ever had, I think.

imvipassmeabeer: You know it

darlindarla: though i suppose i can't talk can i

imvipassmeabeer: thanks Libellule imvipassmeabeer: I'm not about that anon life

Libellule: You're very welcome.

bigfruit: Midwife isn't bad, they have a lot of rotating drink specials, but the scenery at Stonefruit is much better.

imvipassmeabeer: I'm gonna be as me as I can imvipassmeabeer: *flips hair* imvipassmeabeer: bigfruit I agree

bigfruit: Vi You should since you're part of the scenery 😉

Libellule: Have you got a crush on Iann Cardero, biggie?

bigfruit: I don't think anybody should have a crush on Iann Cardero

Odette: What makes you say that?

darlindarla: i agree

bigfruit: and call my by my full name please Libellule, bigpumpkin

littlefaethatcould: you're right full blown infatuation or nothing

Libellule: hahaha My apologies, bigpumpkin. 💗

bigfruit: Odette He's weird and offputting and besides I don't think he would like it anyhow

Odette: sounds like an unrequited thing to me

bigfruit: Odette Some days I feel I'm the only one in this whole town who ISN'T entranced by Iann Cardero gosh

littlefaethatcould: you're not the only one

imvipassmeabeer: I think everyone should have a crush on Iann he's bomb

littlefaethatcould: though I can see why it would feel that way, not heard a word against the man

bigfruit: Car bomb maybe

imvipassmeabeer: wow imvipassmeabeer: rude

bigfruit: He's said worse about me!

Odette: i can't imagine him having a bad thing to say about anyone? so that makes me wonder what you've done, big pumpkin.

darlindarla: he cut up my credit card so i can confidently say I don't have a crush on him

imvipassmeabeer: what kind of pumpkin are you? imvipassmeabeer: why does he not like you?

littlefaethatcould: so now i wonder if I'm the only one that's neutral

imvipassmeabeer: boohoo darla

Libellule: Now, now, don't lets all jump on poor bigpumpkin.

littlefaethatcould: seems very marmite argument

Libellule: Cardero is a bit of an acquired taste, lbr

imvipassmeabeer: agreed Libellule

bigfruit: I'm just a normal pumpkinhead going about his business let me live

darlindarla: you don't gotta talk him up just because he signs your checks vi

Odette: send him some dick pics

imvipassmeabeer: the paycheck isn't the only thing keepin me around

bigfruit: littlefae What's a marmite argument? I don't know that saying!

littlefaethatcould: yeast extract spread for toast littlefaethatcould: you either love it or hate it

bigfruit: littlefae OH! I think I had that. I love most food though so I'm not a good measure.

imvipassmeabeer: it's not a y-east-y thing to like

bigfruit: HAH HAH HAH

littlefaethatcould: vegemite and marmite are different though most people in america are more likely to have done vegemite

imvipassmeabeer: done vegemite? imvipassmeabeer: like a drug?

littlefaethatcould: eaten

imvipassmeabeer: drugemite

littlefaethatcould: omg

bigfruit: Vi Should I be concerned about your extracurricular activities, do you have a drugemite lab behind the bar at the Stonefruit?

imvipassmeabeer: sorry, littlefaethatcould, I already know I'm the worst

Odette: is that similar to meth?

imvipassmeabeer: bigfruit obviously not

bigfruit: methamvegemite that's correct

littlefaethatcould: OMG NO

imvipassmeabeer: you cant mix drugs and alcohol imvipassmeabeer: #crossfaded

bigfruit: Vi YOU'RE KILLING ME LOLLLL

imvipassmeabeer: drugs aren't my thing imvipassmeabeer: hahaha imvipassmeabeer: well except for seaweed imvipassmeabeer: have you guys tried it?

bigfruit: Eating it? Like in sushi?

littlefaethatcould: fried?

Libellule: What else are you doing with seaweed, bigpumpkin?

bigfruit: Libellule Don't they use it for spa things? I swear I had my face done one time and they draped this weird long kelp stuff all over my face and neck and actually come to think of it all over my body bigfruit: I smelled like high tide

Libellule: Ah, that's true. I stand corrected

bigfruit: They do funny things to you at spas. A selkie squirted a bottle of raspberry vinegar all over my back and then hit me with lightly boiled spaghetti.

Odette: hahahaha

darlindarla: i think that selkie was pranking you, pumpkin

bigfruit: What? But I paid her good money!

darlindarla: that or getting their jollies

littlefaethatcould: definitely not a spa treatment that one

bigfruit: Goddammit!

imvipassmeabeer: oh my god bigfruit

Libellule: Who took you to this spa?

imvipassmeabeer: what kind of spa was this?

littlefaethatcould: how much did you pay?

imvipassmeabeer: did you taste the noodles?

Libellule: hahahaha

darlindarla: and are they hiring?

imvipassmeabeer: were they good?

bigfruit: I went on my own on a lunch break! I saw this little pop up place that advertised $20 full-body skin treatment and massage and I thought I would be a good person and patronize their business since they were clearly a small operation

Libellule: Oh my

bigfruit: I gave them a twenty percent tip christ almighty

darlindarla: you got scammed, sugar

Libellule: You need to only go to the spa with a trusted friend, bigpumpkin.

bigfruit: They gave me the noodles in a bowl of kale after but I didn't want it and I threw it away outside. I guess that was a close call.

Libellule: Those noodle people could have been doing all sorts to you

bigfruit: 😟

Odette: that...... wow.

littlefaethatcould: research is key

bigfruit: Spas are weird even when they're normal spas! How was I supposed to know??

Odette: didn't something seem off to you?

littlefaethatcould: when you say pop up was it a tent?

bigfruit: No it was in a place that used to be a barbershop so I had to lie down all sort of hunched on a lowered barber chair bigfruit: This is Soapberry! Lots of things seem off to me but are actually totally normal to other people.

littlefaethatcould: ...that's trusting of you oh my god

Odette: wow...

bigfruit: I liked the barbershop that was there so I dunno I guess I had a bunch of good will built up already bigfruit: and misplaced it obviously

Odette: obviously

imvipassmeabeer: were they on yelp?

bigfruit: They gave me a detox drink that wasn't very good and now that I think about it bigfruit: it was probably the pasta water bigfruit: Vi I doubt it, I was a walk-in

littlefaethatcould: you've been punked

imvipassmeabeer: mmm refreshing

littlefaethatcould: did you take clothes off? damn they could have done anything you got off lucky with pasta slapping

Odette: gross

bigfruit: Man why do I always turn out to be a cautionary talke in these situations bigfruit: littlefae Yeah they gave me this uh loincloth thing to wear bigfruit: fuuuuuuuuck

littlefaethatcould: there had to be cameras

imvipassmeabeer: I mean some people pay good money to be slapped with pasta

littlefaethatcould: it's the only way

bigfruit: Vi Apparently I am one of those people but it was under FALSE PRETEXTS

imvipassmeabeer: did you have to sign a waiver?

bigfruit: No I just had to pay in cash.

Libellule: Was the pasta already boiled, or did they do it while you waited?

bigfruit: Libellule It was fresh boiled. Why, does that make it more dignified?

Libellule: I'm honestly not sure

imvipassmeabeer: I don't think anything could make this situation more dignified

littlefaethatcould: means you were the first one to be duped probably

imvipassmeabeer: the first to be noodled

bigfruit: DO WE REALLY HAVE TO USE THE WORD DUPED bigfruit: ...okay no I'll take duped over noodled

Odette: hahaha noodled. I like it.

Libellule: Perhaps we should change the subject. I'm sure poor Pumpkin feels a bit... vulnerable as it is.

bigfruit: Odette how can you turn on me in this my hour of need

imvipassmeabeer: hahaa

bigfruit: Libellule aw it's okay, I'm a big boy 🙂 bigfruit: And cautionary tale

imvipassmeabeer: the biggest fruit boy

Libellule: haha Alright. 'Duped' it is then.

bigfruit: The Atlantic pumpkin! Arctic pumpkin? I can't remember now

Odette: Easily, apparently?

imvipassmeabeer: the biggest pumpkin in the patch

bigfruit: WELL NOW that's true enuffff

imvipassmeabeer: where's the best place in town to get some grub?

bigfruit: B'Wiched Deli has all you can eat pickle spears

Libellule: The Stonefruit. haha

bigfruit: which is good if you like pickles

Odette: all the talk of noodles made you hungry?!

imvipassmeabeer: my fav is Erzebets but I want to expand my palate imvipassmeabeer: yeah imvipassmeabeer: cant decide between chicken noodle

bigfruit: Stonefruit doesn't have grub!

imvipassmeabeer: or spaghetti

Odette: interesting. had the opposite effect on me.

bigfruit: Odette should I be insulted

Libellule: Excuse you, Pumpkin - they have a bistro upstairs.

littlefaethatcould: Erzebets is for sure the best

bigfruit: Yeah but that's not /grub/.

imvipassmeabeer: get with the times old fruit

Odette: I didn't mean it as an insult? So there's that.

Libellule: So what's 'grub' then?

imvipassmeabeer: grub means like imvipassmeabeer: a really good meal

Libellule: Then I stand by my answer

Odette: grub makes me think bar food

bigfruit: Grub is yeah like a heavy messy sort of meal. Grub!

imvipassmeabeer: agreed!

bigfruit: Like grubbing in the dirt to dig up some mushrooms

Libellule: Oh

Odette: then frying them?

bigfruit: YES fried grubs bigfruit: slimy yet satisfying

Libellule: In that case there's this place that only does chips and potato things that's better than it has any right to be

imvipassmeabeer: I like to saute them imvipassmeabeer: the mushrooms, that is imvipassmeabeer: what's that place called, Libellule?

bigfruit: Tater Time? Spudzaganza?

Libellule: I can't remember. Libellule: It isn't very big. Open late

bigfruit: Potatotallity?

Libellule: Within walking distance of Erzebet's

bigfruit: Chips Ahoy Hoy? bigfruit: Wedge Me? Oh no wait they went out of business

Libellule: The Big Fry! Libellule: I remembered. xD

bigfruit: ohhhhhhhhhh of COURSE

imvipassmeabeer: Okay that's where I'll be for a midnight snack then

Libellule: I had no idea there were that many potato based restaurants in Soapberry. xD

bigfruit: I like how they call baked potatoes 'jacket potatoes' on the menu it's so cute bigfruit: They don't last long. Too much competition.

littlefaethatcould: why wouldn't they call them jacket potatoes?

Libellule: They are jacket potatoes.

bigfruit: Because they're BAKED potatoes!

Libellule: Pfft.

littlefaethatcould: but they're in their skin, you can bake potatoes without skin

bigfruit: Then they should call them skin potatoes

littlefaethatcould: no littlefaethatcould: don't be daft

bigfruit: Jacket makes me think they should be wearing little leather flight jackets like pilots

littlefaethatcould: their jackets are their skins, and their skins keep their insides warm

bigfruit: oho DAFT am I? Well that explains why you think 'jacket' potato sounds normal

Odette: I feel like I need some popcorn for this.

bigfruit: Popcorn? Or SPLODEY CORN

Odette: you are in rare form tonight whoever you are

littlefaethatcould: apart from the noodle massage anyway

bigfruit: I'm not actually sure if anybody calls it something other than popcorn

littlefaethatcould: OH was splodey corn supposed to be something littlefaethatcould: thought you'd just lost your marbles

bigfruit: How dare you I have many marbles

Odette: do you? do you really?

bigfruit: I sure do! I got a great big beautiful shooter too

Libellule: That's why they call you bigfruit. 😉 haha

Odette: is that a euphemism?

bigfruit: It is NOT a euphemism gosh you guysssss

littlefaethatcould: You're an absolute rocket omg XD

Odette: are you sure? or do you mean your mouth because you're always shooting it off?

littlefaethatcould: rocket as in heads not on this planet anymore lol

bigfruit: Didn't any of you ever play marbles before??? A shooter's your big marble for when you knuckle down at the start of the game!

littlefaethatcould: never played marbles in my life

bigfruit: Shooter or plumper or thumper or hogger that's what it's CALLED

Libellule: Hogger sounds /filthy/

Odette: Only child and I was the awkward kid in school, so... no.

bigfruit: Marbles is a game designed for awkward kids believe me

Odette: I read a lot... or played with my microscope. See? Weird.

bigfruit: Libellule okay so did you ever play conkers then?

littlefaethatcould: conkers is IT

imvipassmeabeer: I'm not really much of a marbles girl imvipassmeabeer: I check on dinner and this is what I come back to?

Odette: i have no idea what that is

Libellule: Why am I being singled out? haha

bigfruit: You call my hogger filthy, you get singled out XD

Libellule: Fine. haha

bigfruit: Odette it's when you get a big old horse chestnut on a string and then you swing them at each other and see whose chestnut breaks first

Libellule: I'm aware of Conkers, but I don't know as I remember much of anything about how to play it.

bigfruit: oh my god so formal "I am aware of Conkers sirrah"

Libellule: Oh piss off xD Libellule: I thought you were looking for technique or something. xD

imvipassmeabeer: Is there a game shop in town? like with board games and the lot of em?

bigfruit: No CLEARLY I am the expert when it comes to schoolyard games here unless you consider Miss Microscope over there

imvipassmeabeer: Microdette

Odette: .....

bigfruit: Vi you are on FIRE

Odette: 😑

littlefaethatcould: ah but Bigfruit have you ever played bulldogs

bigfruit: littlefae No I never heard of that, what's bulldogs?

littlefaethatcould: Got banned in my school. Kids stands in the middle of the playground, one kid is the bulldog and the others hold onto the home area. my school had a portion with walls facing eachother. so home was both walls littlefaethatcould: and you run between em and the bulldog tackles you and then those kids are bulldogs too littlefaethatcould: last one running between home bases is champion

bigfruit: AHHHHH hah hah yeah that sounds pretty dangerous!! bigfruit: In a fun kid way, but not to teachers lol

littlefaethatcould: It was a staple playtime game in my school

bigfruit: What did you play after it got banned though? bigfruit: oh and Vi I don't know any game shops I've actually never looked for one bigfruit: the last game I bought was Lord of the Rings Monopoly

littlefaethatcould: oh we still played, can't stop a whole school full of kids at once lol littlefaethatcould: don't really remember any other games as clearly so couldn't say what else we had

bigfruit: squareball? tetherball?

littlefaethatcould: nope and nope littlefaethatcould: not a clue what square ball is littlefaethatcould: i watched recess though, I grasp tetherball i think

bigfruit: We had the square but we didn't have a ball badum pum tssshhh

littlefaethatcould: wowww XD

bigfruit: Hah hah our school was kind of poor so the gym teacher kept all the equipment locked up and it wasn't like anybody would provide their own ball from home

littlefaethatcould: that's rough buddy, so you never got to play?

bigfruit: Sometimes when we got balls donated to the school, they'd let us have them and they'd re-ball the tether pole but you know how it is with kids, shit got lost or destroyed soon enough! bigfruit: You not a schoolyard game sort either Libellule?

Libellule: Not really, no. lol

Odette: I always liked the swings.

Libellule: I liked skiving off and getting into trouble. haha

bigfruit: Swings were even better when you were a teenager and got drunk and spun the chain up and then let go and see if you could hang on 😄

Odette: oh my god. how are you still alive.

bigfruit: DON'T TELL ME YOU NEVER SPUN UP A SWING?? bigfruit: Maybe I'm not describing it right! I mean when you sit in the swing and then twist yourself around and around and the chain gets all knotted up, and then you let go and it spins you like crazy bigfruit: Libellule you know what I'm talking about right?

Libellule: I do, yeah - but I never did anything like that as a teenager, really.

Odette: ... oh. Odette: that is not.... Odette: what I pictured. Odette: Yes, that... that I have done.

bigfruit: Did you picture the swing going entirely around the top bar

Odette: YES!

bigfruit: gdi Odette

Odette: First, I didn't know how the hell that'd be possible, but... the mental image... I...

bigfruit: You must have seen some crazy shit in that microscope

Odette: you have no idea.

bigfruit: You know now that I'm thinking about it, I have never looked through a microscope?

Odette: Not even in high school?

Libellule: I think this microscope talk is my cue to be off for the night. haha It's been fun everyone!

bigfruit: Bye Libellule! bye from bigpumpkin XD

Odette: good night!

bigfruit: Only the teacher had a microscope, he used an overhead projector to show us what it showed

Odette: Huh.. well, i can't say that I agree with that. I think everyone should learn how to use one properly.

bigfruit: I agree! But we didn't have the budget for it.

Odette: That's so sad. I mean, even if all he had was the one... you could work with that.

bigfruit: I dunno, if it got broke then he'd have to put in for a new one and who knew when he'd get it

Odette: I guess. I would've done things differently.

bigfruit: You're a high school teacher? That's neat! How would you have done it?

Odette: I am, yes. I would've brought mine in... tried to apply for grants... ask other schools about borrowing equipment. Something.

bigfruit: I don't know much about how school administration works but it's good to know there's other avenues

Odette: There's a lot of red tape, but... you can work with it.

&&. isn’t that [ IAN SOMERHALDER ] walking around the hamptons? oh no, nevermind it’s just [ SEBASTIAN DELACROIX ]. y'know, the [ 38 ] year old [ CIS MALE ] known to be quite [ MAGNETIC and PERSUASIVE ] but also [ SELF-ABSORBED and APATHETIC ]. currently, the police has them as [ NOT A PERSON OF INTEREST ] in the case of samantha wheeler, because they [ DIDN’T HAVE A CONNECTION TO HER ]. but they go on about their life as [ A FASHION DESIGNER ]. i wonder what secrets they’re keeping? [ lenny/23/gmt+3/she/her ]

i’m gonna try and keep this short because i’m so weak and i need food

so sebastian delacroix should already tell u enough - this guy is extra, he’s an asshole and 100% conceited

he thinks money buys everything, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and is shameless about it

he comes from a very rich french family that pretty much controlled all the electricity in europe, but he never really wanted to follow suit, so he came to america for college and never really looked back

sebastian played around as a photographer/model in his youth, while majoring in fashion design and that’s how he met his wife. she was a model, he was pretty and charming and working as a photographer, they hit it off and now they have 2 kids and she doesn’t like him

i don’t blame her i don’t like him either

same sis

well she might actually like him but he’s a shit to her, so i imagine she’s at least a bit resentful of how he doesn’t give any importance to their marriage

what he will do is drown her in expensive jewelry because that’s the only thing he knows how to buy, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort and idk it’s his default move when he fucks up

sebastian is a serial cheater, he cheats on his wife with an escort, he cheats on the escort with a cam girl, he probably cheats on the cam girl with a cactus idk he’s trash sb taKE HIM OUT

literally spends all his free time w his mistresses and then complains he doesn’t have time for the kids

and when he does spend time w the kids, he complains they weren’t raised properly

WHEN HE ONLY EVER THREATENS TO TAKE AWAY THEIR CREDIT CARD WHEN THEY FUCK UP INSTEAD OF PARENTING

i hate him

father of the year sb give this man a mug

he will 100% insult your fashion if it isn’t up to his standards

thinks everybody who has a dime less than him is a peasant

most socialites in the hamptons use his clothes though, so there’s not a lot to complain there

he’s very successful, very well known and the only person he probably respects in his field is anna wintour

ok i need food

but like come plot w me kbye

A Vmin throwback - 2018

So last year I made a post called “A Vmin throwback - 2017” and naturally there has been a ton of Vmin moments in 2018 as well. Despite what people might remember, 2018 has been a truly great year for Vmin. We have gotten to witness a lot of really intimate interactions and the moments that we have gotten have actually started to make more people ship Vmin. And I’m sorry that this post is so late, but there were just too many moments. Basically we can summarize it to that we have gotten a lot of quality content for Vmin this year.

Here is a rather huge collection of some of the wonderful Vmin moments we got in 2018! Let’s start! More under the cut!

It’s been a truly blessed year and I dare say we’ve been walking around in a rather purple-tinted world since the very start!

Vmin haven’t been all that loud on twitter in 2018, but they did start of with a bang. Not only are they together, telling us they love us and giving us some purple hearts, but Jimin is also wearing (and specifically showing off) his birthday present that he got from Taehyung in 2016. It’s cute.

BTS_twt Twitter Update 180111 I love you!!!!! #💜☺️☺️

youtube

Video Translation: Tae: Everyone, everyone happy new year Jimin: Thank you~ *finger hearts* Tae: I love you, I love you~

I also want to include Taehyung’s birthday bomb, though it wasn’t in 2018, it was released in January and thus didn’t make it into my post last year. And it’s too cute to leave out.

Also, award season in January had plenty of more Vmin moments.

Sadly I can’t include everything because this year has had so much Vmin. But I’ll keep going with the award shows from the rest of 2018, and we can tell that awards are a place where Vmin truly shines, because they just can’t stay away from each other.

Exhibit A, watch Vmin during the end of SMA where they keep close and circle each other.

Remember at the BBMAs where they sat together, flipped water bottles and joked around in front on the whole world?

Like really, we can expect great things from Awards shows, but this year was something extra. Even at a distance they keep turning towards each other.

We got one of the best Vmin hugs ever, and that is saying a lot, because Vmin has been hugging so much this year.

Award shows really seem more like date nights.

They can be rather shameless with the flirting too. (And the roleplaying.)

I mean, their display on Gayo Awards this year was something else.

I could include a million other moments, but I have to move on.

You can just look at basically any award show and you’ll see Vmin paying more attention to each other than anything else.

Actually performance shows also seem to be a flirting ground for Vmin. I’m sure you’ve seen the clips from the SBS Super concert in Taipei? Where Vmin couldn’t help but to expose each other’s chests.

So, next up we have so many good moments from Run episodes that I don’t know how to choose. We got everything from butt slaps to cuddling, to whining and roleplaying or just straight out being boyfriends. Let’s just say there was a lot of playful moments.

Of course we got the confirmation that BTS themselves also see Vmin as soulmates.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, Vmin wants to be close and together every chance they get.

And as usual Taehyung talked about something he did with Jimin, completely forgetting that poor Jin was there as well. He is not able to not talk about Jimin.

You also of course got plenty of supportive moments. Jimin is there for Taehyung when he is scared, doing his best to encourage him and compliments him. And again, this has been a year of hugs.

Some episodes were so filled with Vmin I can’t even decide which moments to gush about. Just take the barista episode, where Jimin kept complimenting Tae, calling him handsome, telling him not to tremble and that he is doing great.

Just sitting together and being in their own world.

And don’t get me started on the pottery episode, where Jimin just looks so damn cute as he gets to make something for Tae.

“Don’t worry my love” Jimin makes Tae a rose and a heart and are generally just really sweet towards Tae.

Like really… Vmin on Run is just the best honestly. Even if they are supposed to work against each other they somehow end up, well… clingy.

They manage to hug every opportunity they get.

Any excuse to touch really…

Like, they just can’t help themselves even if they are on opposite teams.

At this point run episodes are basically just a collection of Vmin adoring each other and being domestic.

There are sooooo many great moments. Like for real, I’m not sure I’ll be able to do a post like this next year, I will need one just for Run episodes. ^^’‘

We have also seen them bicker a lot, so it’s easy to tell how comfortable and natural their relationship is. Like in the badminton/football episodes where Jimin got annoyed with Tae several times… Or when he wanted to draw on Tae’s shirt but didn’t get to and ended up whining. I think you get it... Basically a lot of pouting Jimin.

I’m gonna have to move on from Run, but there are two moments from this year that I would consider the absolute highlights of Vmin on Run. One is Taehyung’s poem, and the fact that he thinks Jimin is the coolest performer he’s ever seen. (We have know this forever *gasp gasp*)

And the best Vmin Run episode award goes to.... Episode 50!

The episode in which Vmin realized they can hold hands and they haven’t let each other go since. Scared Jimin was so cute, and he needed his Tae beside him for comfort. Like he specifically asked for it.

Poor little mochi. But now I really have to leave Run. Because there or plenty of other cute vmin moments to look at.

Just a few examples from the 4th muster, enough to make you swoon.

Not to mention this moment that will go down in Vmin history, featuring gay panic Jimin.

Puma also came back to remind us to ship Vmin.

We got the possibly cutest Vmin date ever. It’s just full of sweet, domestic and cuddly Vmin.

Then I have to talk about their concerts, where Vmin has made Love Myself their anthem.

youtube

The tour really was filled with Vmin moments.

I honestly can’t believe I saw this moment live.

They just gave us a million cute moments to gush about.

And like I said... This year has been filled with hugs!

They purple each other so much!

I don’t know about you, but 2018 should be the year where people stopped doubting how much Vmin love each other.

Also JK ships them, so you should too! Look at him making them hold hands.

Promo-season is always good to Vmin shippers as well.

Speaking of performances we can’t forget Fake Love being generous to Vmin shippers.

Like I could pick this moment from basically any performance, so I have to hold back.

IDOL also provided us with Vmin.

Even spelling it out for us, that Vmin means love!

Of course we can’t skip over Singularity, which Jimin made sure to hype! (And which is also a dark reflection to Serendipity)

(BONUS: JIMIN LOVES TAE’S SMILE)

And before we move on to the two really big Vmin source of this year (I think you can guess which ones), I just have a few moments I simply can’t skip.

Jimin wanted a song, so Taehyung said he would give him one.

Besides this moment, as well as 4 o’clock, we also got Tae mention another song that he wrote. A Christmas song he wanted to sing with Jimin, but got stopped because the lyrics apparently were too romantic for two men to sing.

Moving on...

Saipan needs a special mention too.

No year is a real Vmin year without a proper butt slap.

Or you know...

Several…

And we can’t forget that we got the first Vmin (kinda) vlive in a long time. Showing an extremely domestic couple and their dog.

They of course talked plenty of each other in other vlives as well.

And there are of course behind the scenes stories as well, showing how even staff react to Vmin’s closeness.

But really, I have to move on... Because both Burn the stage and Bon Voyage season 3 happened this year, and I don’t think I have to tell you how these two shows truly let us see just how much Vmin mean to each other.

We got plenty of cute moments (even though we never got to see the museum date in NY).

But of course we also got yet another glimpse at Taehyung’s and Jimin’s relationship and how much they support each other.

Jimin has been a huge support to Taehyung, and it’s just so heart warming to even get a small piece of something so private revealed to us.

Jimin really is Taehyung’s strength and support. But we also know that Tae is the same to Jimin.

youtube

Basically in Burn the stage we saw a few of the moments that Vmin has briefly mentioned before when saying they need each other and lean on each other. I feel humbled to be allowed to see these moments.

And then we also got Bon Voyage. Where we once again got to see Vmin missing each other, despite only being apart for a few days.

Jimin couldn’t stop talking about Tae, and also seemed to talk to Tae while he wasn’t there, and sending him videos and photos.

And as he showed up seemed unable to stay away, holding his hand every chance he got.

I can’t possibly include all the moments from Bon Voyage, because as soon as Tae arrived (and even before) it was just so many lovely moments between them.

...Wanting to share a room, Tae taking off Jimin’s face mask, going on two dates, sharing food, Tae buying needle and thread for Jimin, just Jimin wanting to show Tae the things he had already seen because not sharing them with Taehyung was not an option. Tae wishing upon Jimin in stead of a star. The list goes on...

Third wheeling the other members as usual.

Jimin being fond and supporting as Tae did busking and the two of them just enjoying their time together.

Then there was the moment that honestly felt a bit too honest and intruding. The fact that the staff member ran directly to Jimin as soon as they realized Tae was crying, and Jimin’s soft comforting and drying Tae’s tears.

This moment just shows how close they are, and how important they are to each other. And again, with Vmin it always seem like they want to share everything. Jimin kept talking about things he had seen and done, and wanted to do them again with Taehyung. He also expressed that he wants to travel somewhere alone with Taehyung outside of work and that Tae being the combo of JK’s and Namjoon’s personalities, is the perfect fit for him.

The other members even seemed to know Vmin would need some extra time alone, and let them team up two times in a row. We can see several examples of the people closest to them knowing how much they need each other.

Basically all of Bon Voyage in Malta was just filled with Vmin’s love for each other. And there is no way I can fill all that love into one post. But I hope you enjoyed this regardless. I think we can all agree that Vmin’s bond is truly special, and that they will surely keep going for a long time (They did promise in front of that scenery after all).

And lastly, there is of course Tae’s birthday. And Jimin even congratulated him twice, also thanking ARMY for celebrating him.

Happy birthday to our Taehyung You’ve worked hard this year too I wanted to post a derp photo but If I post it kekekeke you might not want to see me ever again kekekekeke Hyung loves you a lot ❤️🎂 #JIMIN #TaeTaeHappyBday

Trans cr; Denise @ bts-trans

This year we have a new record for Vmin hugging, holding hands a Vmin saying they love each other. (#TaehyungILoveYou). In conclusion, Vmin’s love is still going strong and no one can deny that.

Thanks for reading! There were so many moments I had to cut out, and it took a whole month extra to make, but I hope you enjoyed this post.

Let us all look forward to a great year of the two pigs in 2019!

OK I actually have a lot of ramblings about the newest VRAINS ep so, here we go!

So, first up, the summary mislead us. The summary we had gotten said that Ai was ‘attacking humans’. Which suggested either he was attacking people at random or had a list of people he was tracking down. Neither of which was the case.

What he really did was attack Queen-the one who was responsible for the murder of his friend, then send Akira a warning telling he’d be coming for him. Or more accurately his key.

I’m still thinking Ai’s plan is to take control of SOL tech and use it/their assets to try and revive his friends. That just, makes the most sense. Also, I really don’t think his actual intent is to kill Akira, Akira is just panicking and overreacting. All Ai said was that in three days he was coming for the key and Akira would not longer be #1 at SOL. Which, if Ai takes the key even without a fight, is exactly what’s gonna happen. Ai 1) Ai would be the one in control, automatically making HIM #1 and 2) Akira would probably be demoted for losing something that important. So yeah. Ai is just a dramatic bitch and Akira is paranoid and panicking.

On that note, while I get Yusau being sad at seeing what Ai is doing, he’s making it sound like is just, indiscriminately attacking people with sadistic glee instead of, you know, having attacked one single person in an act of revenge, who frankly had it coming. Also it’s Ai, as I said before, he’s dramatic. Ofc he’s gonna look like he’s enjoying this(also it was probably cathartic).

I know some people aren’t impressed with the identity reveal but I liked it. I’m not sure if Aoi had already figured it out and led her brother there so he could figure it out, or if she saw Shoichi at the hotdog stand and went ‘oh shit it him’ recognizing him as Unnamed and put the pieces together like Akira did and then decided to drag Akira there. I’m just glad it happened (how long till it clicks that Takeru = SB and who’s gonna tell him that the cat’s outta the bag?)

I’m sort of amused how throughout the scene Aoi’s just, enamoured cause she’s meeting the hero of Link VRAINS and the one who saved her and her brother several times, irl and Yusaku is just, really confused about everything.

Now, I don’t ship Angelmaker (I just want them to be friends at the very least, which seems likely) but like, from an Aoi standpoint it, kiinda makes sense if you think about it. I mean, a handsome mystery man has saved her and her brother and Link VRAINS so it makes sense for her to be enamoured by him and like, have a hero-worship kind of crush thing going on (like Naoki).

Also if we’re gonna use the ‘the writers are making them spend time together’ as proof that they’re trying to build to it, I guess they’re trying to build to Recoil as well since they’re stuffing Rev and Takeru as a team and together in the OP multiple times. lmao

Yusaku on the other hand, yeah. haha. His expressions said it all. He was so deeply confused. Poor guy. (tbh it’s probably the lack of interaction + Yusaku’s absolute disinterest that makes it hard for me to ship it. i could definitely buy a one sided sort of thing for Aoi tho)

Aoi: I want you to shake my hand.

Yusaku, internally: But why tho?

Ahh Pandore. Yeah this totally won’t backfire in any way. Nope. I see my sorta theory from the other day about her was right tho. And only time will tell if she will double as a Pandora’s Box as well. And what all that entails.

Also, between Akira wanting to talk with Rev about ‘one more thing’ and him being super sure that his physical body is safe, I wonder if he enlisted their help. Like, hiding on their boat/up in the house. Cause really, I don’t think Ai would think to look there. For Yusaku yes, not for Akira.

I had a thought earlier, when Ema said that Akira would take the blame if/when SOL’s dirty laundry comes to light even tho he wasn’t responsible for that stuff. What if that was why they insisted on promoting him? They could tell SOL was on shaky ground, so why not set up a fallguy for when shit hits the fan? Seems like, exactly the sort of thing they’d pull.

And really Aoi, you’re object to working with Hanoi cause ‘they’re criminals’. Aside from those 5, your group also consists of, 3 hackers (Playmaker, Ghost Girl and Shoichi), a guy who used to do work for Yakuza and other gangs/organized crime groups (Akira), a bounty hunter who’s probably done less than legal things (Blood Shepherd) and someone who was something of a delinquent and may or may not have gotten in trouble for it (Soulburner). Like, Aoi and Go are the only one who haven’t done anything illegal at this point (Go did bad things, but he was working for SOL so none of it was really, illegal). Plus ike, ya sure didn’t have a problem teaming up with them against Lightning.

I’m amused that the episode shut down the idea of whether or not Yusaku would recognize Ai when they fought/met in one fell swoop. Ai’s just like ‘Yo it me’ Not even trying to hide it.

Im not sure what to make of GO and BS being back. I wish they’d acknowledge what BS did to SB cause like, yeah that was mean an uncalled for. I’m sure Ema’s making sure her bro plays nice but still. Idk if we’re gonna get an explanation for Go, maybe he learned things from Earth while having the Ignis in his head and that + his last defeat was the wake up call he needed. Who knows.

list of reasons I find zoro ridiculous

after my similarly titled mihawk post took off I decided to make a zoro post, since he’s my second favorite character and also arguably the most ridiculous character in all of One Piece. here we go

- I know what you’re all thinking. i’m gonna open this list with how he wields three swords, right? no. no, Zoro has done so much ridiculous bullshit, this doesn’t even seem weird anymore. i don’t even bat my eye at this. this is nothing. now that i’ve got that out of the way, let’s begin

- this dude has like, an obsession with cutting off his own limbs? and MAYBE i can understand trying to cut his feet off when they were stuck in wax—you’re trying to save your friends, i get it—but what about when he was sword shopping in loguetown? who’s first response when buying a cursed sword and testing if it’s really cursed is “i’ll toss it in the air n see if I get amputated lol.” plus there’s that old filler where luffy gets his finger stuck in a bottle and, when he asks zoro for help getting it out, zoro tries to CUT IT OFF. im convinced he lost that left eye of his bc he got dust or something in it and then tried to stab it out

- there’s like, several occasions where Zoro has been directed to head up a staircase and gone some other direction. it happened in enies lobby and in dressrosa? like, what’s the dude got against stai—... oh, wait

- his reintroduction post timeskip. get on the wrong boat? just cut it in half! who even cares! how’d you even end up on the wrong boat? you had to walk towards that boat, which means looking at the boat. that boat looked nothing like the sunny, wouldn’t zoro have noticed that? he also has to make an effort to climb on, which means, you guessed it, looking at the boat! he probably sees the crew members, maybe even gets helped up by one or a few. how did he not at any point in time notice that wasn’t his boat?

- also when they landed on sabaody the first time and zoro was like “i’m gonna go take a walk!” and both Sanji and Usopp tried to stop him, talking to him like concerned parents of a troublemaking toddler, like “Zoro you can’t go out there you’ll get lost!” to which Zoro replies “yeah but the grottos are numbered, I can find my way back if I just remember the number!” and Sanji and Usopp are like “okay, solid logic, even YOURE not dumb enough to mess that up” and what does Zoro do? what does he fucking do?

- I want to emphasize he messes it up because a bubble covers the 4 in “Grotto 41” so he thinks it’s grotto 1. BUBBLES. ARE. TRANSPARENT

- “sorry, I don’t pray to god” fuckin edgelord

- Zoro’s epithet is “Pirate Hunter” and it’s super lame. he could’ve been “Demon of the East Blue” but they went with pirate hunter, even though he became a pirate. even Chopper’s is better than his lbr

- THERES A SCENE WHERE SANJI THREATENS TO PUT RAZOR BLADES IN ZOROS FOOD N ZOROS LIKE “do it u won’t” SO SANJI DOES AND ZORO JUST EATS THEM? ODA EVEN GOT ASKED ABOUT IT IN AN SBS AND CONFIRMED YES, ZORO DID IN FACT EAT RAZOR BLADES. THIS 2EDGY4U BITCH JUST. STRAIGHT UP. ATE RAZOR BLADES

- in film gold he wears that black jacket under the white one. mind you he had no way of knowing he would be trapped in gold by tesoro or that they’d all have a dramatic coordinated outfit change once he was free so what the fuck was he doing? why did he wear that? who wears two jackets for no reason?

- “if i’m gonna be a statue I want it to be in this pose” “i’m glad I struck a pose”

- remember when zoro fought mr. 1 in alabasta and mr. 1 dropped a stone building on him and he was just like “this is a rocky day” or smth equally awful? i hate him

- the tarzan yell in skypiea

- actually, the goggles too.

- didn’t he try to convince someone he was fighting they were sunglasses bc they had some blinding light-based attack? I feel like he did but I don’t remember skypiea well enough to be sure

- Zoro vs the bird in skypiea. spent a fair amount of the damn arc running around skypiea getting messed w by a bird (which, according to Luffy, was more evolved than Zoro bc it had developed a sense of direction. burned by ur own captain)

- when asked why Zoro was able to speak with a sword in his mouth, oda said “IT’S HIS HEART SPEAKING”

- that colorspread Zoro where he reads a book about weightlifting while balancing a weight on top

- when Zoro fights that masochist guy in film gold (I think his name was dice?) and said some cocky ass one liner after the guy fell unconscious that went something like “What's wrong? Didn't it feel good? Aren't you gonna scream in pleasure?" awful

- Zoro almost gets murdered by Mihawk and then, later that day, tries to take on fishmen underwater. others r like “you cannot handle this, you will literally die” and Zoro doesn’t even care bc Luffy is in trouble

- he was sailing bc he left home to find mihawk and then couldn’t figure out how to get back

- remember that filler where Zoro taught Luffy how to skate but then forgot to teach him how to turn. I love both that this happened and the implication that Zoro is a person who knows how to roller skate and therefore has spent time roller skating. Zoro roller skating backstory when?

- when Zoro was fighting oz, a 500 year old corpse, he licked his sword. now, on top of licking his sword being ridiculous as hell because, listen, there’s NOTHING cool about licking your sword. you just look like a loser. but a sword that just came out of a 500 year old corpse? really? i know it was preserved by the cold and all but there’s no way it didn’t rot at all. that’s a rotted, frozen corpse. Zoro what in the HELL were you thinking. I hope you get sick

- i’m sure it probably wasn’t even the first time he licked his sword in a fight but I will say with absolute confidence he looked like a loser every single time

- I feel like he licked his sword while facing mr 1 but I can’t remember. if he did, that’s honestly iconic. stare down a dude that’s made of swords while licking yours? power move. only decent time to kick your sword

- Zoro, joining Luffy: “if you stand in the way of my dream i’ll kill you!” Zoro, a day later: “of course i’ll carry my captain in this heavy cage on my back to safety. oh this gaping wound in my side? nothing. who cares about bleeding to death, my captain needs me!”

- all those big weights he’s got. all of them.

- especially that time he was lifting weights post thriller bark after barely surviving kuma, still heavily injuries, complaining about how weak he is. buddy...

- that time in drum island where he decided to train by going swimming in the freezing ice-country water, then when he got out he got lost in the snowy mountains until he wandered into a random battle and took out some guy just to steal his coat

- this isn’t the only time he steals some random dude’s coat

- the chimney.

- that filler in smiles lobby where he gets, like, abducted by a bunch of children for a day and integrated into their family?

- Roronoa Zoro went fursuiting in dressrosa and that’s a canon fact you all must acknowledge

- speaking of being a furry anyone remember mugiwara theater?

- THE FUCKING MUGIWARA THEATER NAMES. mugiwara theater is a gift, alright? here’s some: nakamura hanzorou. zobear. ZOROMILK

- I FORGOT TO MENTION. THAT TIME ZORO N USOPP WERE HANDCUFFED TOGETHER AND ZORO TRIED TO CONVINCE USOPP TO PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS WITH HIM TO SEE WHICH ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE TO CUT THEIR HAND OFF

- also the fact that his logic was “it’ll be fine cuz chopper can just sew it back on”

- can we also talk abt how later that fight he uses Usopp as a sword because holy shit Zoro

- this isn’t technically zoro’s fault but the guy who sold him his sword to him in loguetown has a giant version of bounty image up above his bath, which........

- barto asked for zoro’s autograph and Zoro just wrote “sword”

- the grave of the rumbar pirates was finished right around when Zoro woke up from his coma post thriller bark and Zoro decided to walk over while Brook is sitting there mourning almost everyone he ever loved and just. plops his sword—an inanimate object—in the dirt by the grave of BROOKS ENTIRE CREW like “hey i’m gonna bury this here u don’t mind tho right? cool”

- he’s lucky Brook is such a cool dude cuz if I was mourning the death of MY crew and some fuck decided to plant a rusty sword there i’d just fuckin kill em

- in Zou they were talking abt whatever and Luffy mentioned how Sanji was as strong as one thousand men and Zoro, clearly jealous that Sanji got praised by Luffy, butt in with a stuttery objection on how HE was stronger than Sanji and worth TWO THOUSAND men, which luffy ignored, and Nami had to reassure him that yes, Zoro, we know you’re strong. toddler

- this is also not technically zoro’s fault but one time someone asked oda in an sbs which strawhats would eat ice in their drink and oda answered who would n wouldn’t (Luffy, Chopper, Brook, Usopp, and Robin would, if ur wondering). Zoro was on the wouldn’t list, and some fan sent oda a letter informing him of a panel where Zoro was shown eating ice to disprove this. someone pulled zoro ice eating receipts on oda and that’s a fact we all have to live with

- the first time Zoro meets mihawk—the strongest man in the world, the man he wants to defeat someday, and incredibly powerful and impressive dude—he cries like a baby

- zoro’s been crucified like 4 times now. once in his introduction than in three movies (6, gold, nebulandia). idk why this keeps happening but honestly? keep it up

- when Brook joined the crew, Zoro said he was sorry for Brooks bad luck as if one of the first things Brook ever saw Zoro do wasn’t to try and die for the crew via Giant Paw Ball of Pain

- speaking of, i’m pretty sure half the reason zoro DIDNT die in thriller bark is because if he died via smth as silly as a giant paw ball his injured pride would kill him again

- I was going to make fun of Zoro for wearing only a suit and a fake mustache in dressrosa as a disguise but then I realized, like, given how absolutely shredded Zoro was in Punk Hazard and how that suit somehow managed to squish it all down without zoro ripping the sleeves off? solid disguise

- when merry was burning and everyone’s bawling and remembering great memories on the ship and Zoro was standing there, 100% stoic, remembering a nap

- Zoro saw marines (Garp) coming to Water 7 while Luffy was still unconscious and ran off to warn the others but couldn’t find his way back to the hotel

- that G8 filler where he falls off a cliff in pursuit of his swords

- speaking of fillers, remember that amnesia one? (ha). highlights include Zoro trying to physically fight a small sea horse (plus Usopp doing a bad lip-syncing) and Zoro swimming through the Grand Line with his swords tied to his head by his bandana

- meets a dragon, eats the dragon

- it got mentioned once that Sanji and Nami canonly help Zoro and the other guys get dressed. so every time Zoro wears something absolutely ridiculous (which is often), it’s probably Sanjis doing

- “I can’t believe I cut a freaking booger!!”

- speaking of, remember that time Luffy flicked a booger into Zoro’s drink at the Baratie and Zoro tried to force him to drink it?? remember that?? I hate them both

- that time Zoro was trying to find the Right Eye in Skypiea, said that (though the path to get there was STRAIGHT AHEAD) all he had to do to find the right eye was just keep going right (even though that would just lead him in circles!). and then after that do you know what direction he went?? do you know?? he fucking went left

- the time Zoro got lost walking on a straight path in a filler.

- Zoro lost to a guy in a fight and just fucking let the dude cut him in half. like, yes, the baratie scene was all cool as all hell and I love it but Zoro did in fact basically invite a dude to cut him in half

- when they were hit by negative hollows and everyone else said stuff that was kinda funny but Zoro went straight up “I don’t deserve to exist” please honey talk to someone

- he was fighting Kaku and kept engaging in Kaku’s devil fruit bs and then berating himself for being uncool as if he wasn’t already fighting a giant giraffe

- to end this list, I want to get to Zoro’s absolute worst offense. remember when Zoro fought Kaku and he did that asura form thing? where he straight up grew four extra arms and two extra heads, all wielding swords? what the FUCK was that? and don’t tell me “fighting spirit” alright. that’s bull. people don’t just GROW EXTRA SWORD-WIELDING BODY PARTS because they’re just REALLY INTO a FIGHT. like I know this is One Piece and shit’s ridiculous all this time but this? this is too much. even for One Piece this is too much. this is so ridiculous. there has to be a line, even in One Piece, with what these guys are allowed to get away with. I can accept haki so good you can see the future. I can accept spinning so fast you set your leg on fire. I can accept being made of springs. I can accept booger bombs. I can accept all that and more, but this? this is where i take my stand. Roronoa Zoro cannot keep getting away with this! fighting spirit is just not an explanation. and the worst part? the absolute worst part?

- Zoro makes four extra limbs and two extra heads, all armed with swords, MATERIALIZE out of THIN AIR with absolutely NO REAL EXPLANATION and then pretty much NEVER DOES IT AGAIN! he did it once in sabaody (and once in strong world) and then hasn’t done it since! everyone else uses the power ups they got in enies lobby all the time but Zoro, somewhere out there, knows how fuckin sick this attack is (bc yeah it’s ridiculous as hell but like I still enjoy it) and he just won’t do it again. not once post timeskip has he used it at all. Roronoa Zoro knows what he’s doing and he is out there, right now, laughing

- roronoa zoro is one of my top three favorite one piece characters and I make this list entirely out of love. (feel free to add on more moments I may have missed and i’ll add them)

#One Piece #roronoa zoro #Zoro #im making a tag for these lists and it is:#ridiculous lists #I love this man. hes awful and I love him #I also want you all to know ive had this list in my notes for like a month and ive been adding to it this whole time #roronoa Zoro is a piece of work #my posts

Sugardaddy!Chris Evans x Sugarbaby!reader - SB 2/?

Here’s the 2nd part. It’s not amazing but the next couple of parts will be better. Hope you guys like it...

You took a deep breath before walking out of the elevator doors that had just opened up on the floor Chris’ office was on. The two of you had been texting each other all morning up until about an hour ago when he said he was about to have a meeting and he’d meet you in his office. You were a little nervous to be going to his office. One, you didn’t know if it’s what Sugarbaby’s did and two, you weren’t exactly as ‘important’ or ‘fitted in’ as much as the other woman you had passed (all of whom gave you a dirty look). You didn’t wear designer clothes of any kind.

“Can I help you?” you looked up from your phone, hoping Chris had text you but he hadn’t, and gave a nervous smile to the young brunette behind the desk opposite the elevator.

You stayed silent for a few moments trying to get your brain to work. What did you say? ‘Oh, yes, I’m just looking for my super hot sugar daddy’. You were fucked.

“Hi-” good start. “Hmm, Chris- I mean, Mr Evans, asked me to stop by. Is he, here, at all?” you gave her a polite, yet nervous smile.

She looked you up and down, trying to hide her scowl as she did. “Unfortunately Mr Evans is in a meeting and will be for the rest of the day.”

You nodded. “Yeah, he told me to wait in his office-”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” she smiled falsely at you.

Your eyes widened a little at her. “Oh, but he said-”

“He didn’t say anything to me… No appointment, no meeting, they are the rules.” she sighed. “Please leave.”

You sighed yourself. What was her problem? Why was she being so rude to you? “Okay, thank you for being… helpful, I guess.” you frowned slightly as you turned away.

You walked back towards the elevator, once again with your phone in your hand. You couldn’t just leave, you had tell Chris. You stepped inside the elevator with your phone to you ear, Chris number dialling.

“Evans speaking.”

“Hello, Mr Sugar daddy.” you smirked to yourself.

“Miss Y/L/N, how can I help you?”

“Still in your meeting?”

“I am, yes.”

You sighed a little. “I was hoping the bitch was lying.” you muttered to yourself more than Chris.

“Can you repeat that, ma’am?”

“Oh, nothing, just... your receptionist made me leave.” you frowned a little, leaning back on the wall of the elevator.

“She did.” Chris answered. “On what grounds?”

“On the grounds that I don’t have an appointment and that you didn’t mention anyone being allowed to wait in your office.”

He sighed heavily down the phone. “Where are you, Y/N?” he asked sounding less business man Chris.

“Elevator. Approaching the 28th floor, why?” you raised your eyebrow as you looked at the numbers lighting up in the other wall.

“Give me a second.” he said before he hung up.

You rolled your eyes before closing them as the elevator came to a slow stop. “she really ask you to leave?”

You gasped standing up from your leaning position almost jumping out of your skin. Chris grinned as he stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for his floor. “Damn, you scared me.” you let out a small chuckle as did Chris. “And yes, she did. ‘No appointment, no meeting, they are the rules’.”

Chris sighed shaking his head. “I’ll sort this, Y/N.” he gave you a small smile as he placed his hand on the small of your back.

Before you knew it the two of you were walking out of the elevator together and towards the reception desk. The receptionist glanced up from her computer and stood up quickly once she noticed Chris. “Mr Evans, I-”

“Save it, Claudia.” Chris frowned at her. “Is it true that you told Miss Y/L/N to leave?” he asked. She nodded about to open her mouth but Chris cut her off. “Right then, you’re fired.” he sighed heavily as he placed his hands on his hips. Your eyes widened as you looked up to him. Crap!

“Fired?” her mouth fell open.

Chris nodded. “Yes, fired.” he frowned at her. “What was it you said to her... ‘no appointment, no meeting’… Not only does Miss Y/L/N have an appointment with me and I said she could wait in my office but she’s also a friend of mine and doesn’t need to be messed around by my receptionist… sorry, ex-receptionist.” Chris glared at her. “Get your crap and leave.” and with that Chris turned you round and opened his office door for you before slamming it shut, making you jump a little.

You stood in silence for a few moments as you watched him shut the blinds in his office and then take his jacket off, handing it up before he walked round to his desk and took a seat. As he sat he let out a deep sighed, closing his eyes and rubbing his face with his large hands. “Hard day?” you ask standing awkwardly looking at him.

Chris smiled as he sat up. “It’s always a hard day, kid.” he looked at you. “Please, take a seat.” he stood up and walked over to the two grey, soft looking armchairs he had in the corner of his office. You followed after him and took a seat. “Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water?”

You raised your eyebrow as you looked around his office not seeing anything to make either of those options up. “How? Didn’t you just fire your receptionist?” you asked before covering your mouth. “Sorry-”

Chris shook his head, chuckling a little. “No, don’t be. You’re right… I did just fire her.” he sighed before walking over to where he kept his scotch. “Think it would be rude of me if I asked her to grab us a coffee before she leaves?” he smirked at you.

You began giggling and nodding your head. “Do you wanted her to call you a bastard because, that’s what I would call you.” you smiled looking down.

Chris chuckled as he sat down, handing you a scotch. “Be careful with that, it’s strong-” his mouth fell open slightly as your face didn’t react to the strong taste. When you licked your lips and smiled into the glass he found himself with a dry mouth and needing to take a bigger gulp of his. “Hmm… I want to apologise for what happened, Y/N.”

You looked up to him and shook your head. “It’s fine, Chris. It’s not your fault how they see me.” you sighed.

Chris frowned. “Who?”

You shook your head. “No one, it’s fine.” you offered him a small smile, hoping he’d drop it but it didn’t look like he would.

“Who, Y/N?” nope, he wasn’t going to.

You sighed placing your drink down on the glass table. “All the women I passed as I came up here. I stuck out like a sore thumb walking in here. I bet none of them have ever seen anyone wear anything other than louboutin.” you sighed a little as you looked down to your chucks. “It’s fine. I’d rather be me than a sour faced cow in expensive shoes.”

Chris began laughing again, nodding. “I’d rather you be you than a sour faced cow in expensive shoes, too.” you smiled at him, quickly dropping your gaze.

“So, why was it you wanted me to come?” you asked smiling up at him.

“Oh, right-” Chris stood up and walked over to his jacket. “I was wondering, if you had something to wear for tonight? It’s a rather big, fancy dinner and dance… the company as one every year.” he sighed as he walked back over to you.

“Oh… hmm… no, what I wore last night is the extent of something fancy I own.” you blushed a little looking down embarrassed.

Chris nodded as he opened his wallet that he’d picked up. “I, thought as much.” he whispered as he pulled out his card. “I thought, you could buy yourself something.” he smiled holding it out to you.

Your eyes widened a little. “What? I can’t-”

Chris began grinning at you. “Y/N, it’s okay. This is what Sugar daddy’s do… remember?”

You blushed as you looked down, nodding. He was right. “Sorry, I’m just not used to this.” you let out a nervous laugh. You took the card from him smiling a little. “Thank you, Chris.”

He shook his head as he closed his wallet up and put it on the table. “My pleasure.” he sat back after picking his scotch up. “Don’t be afraid to go nuts. Treat yourself.” he winked at you.

You nodded laughing as you ran your thumb over his name on the card. “You sure you want to say that?”

“I thought you said it was a one time thing?” Liz hissed as the two of you walked into the first of the stores Chris had booked for you to spend money in.

You rolled your eyes at her. “It is.”

“What about last night?” she shook her head.

“That wasn’t a thing. He just wanted to meet me before he invited me to this, dinner or whatever tonight.” you smiled as your hands ran over the soft material. You looked up at her, sighing softly. “Look, I know this is probably the stupidest thing I am doing but-” you pulled out his credit card. “The dude gave me this and said spend whatever I want.” you grinned.

Elizabeth’s eyes widened as she snatched the card from you. “Dear God, he’s rich.”

You laughed nodding. “Filthy, rich.”

The two of you were interrupted by an older woman clearing her throat. “Ladies, can I help you?” she faked smiled at you.

Elizabeth leaned in as she handed you the card back. “This is some, Pretty Woman shit.”

You began smirking, trying not to laugh. “Yes-” you cleared your throat as you tried to remember what Chris had said to say.

Now, I’m afraid you’re probably gonna get off these woman what you got of Claudia.

Oh wonderful.

I know, I’m sorry but, just remember to say… I am attending the Downey Enterprise D and D tonight and wish to buy something for the occasion.

Aren’t they gonna ask why I’m leaving it to last minute?

Trust me, you say the Downey thing and they won’t care if there’s an hour to the event, they’ll get you the moon if that means you mentioning where you got your dress from.

You took a deep breath before smiling at the older woman. “I am attending the Downey Enterprise, D and D tonight and wish to buy something for the occasion.”

The woman’s eyes widened before she began nodding. “Yes, ma’am. Of course, this way-”

Derek Iversen: The Frederator Interview

Derek Iversen began his unlikely career in animation as a PA on the very first season of Spongebob Squarepants. You might say he was got by The Hook: he spent about a decade with the show, on the production staff before becoming a writer on Seasons 6-9. Since then, he’s written on countless awesome TV shows, become an elected official in the neighborhood of Valley Glen (business card and all!), and created his own Nickelodeon short, “Carrot and Stick” inspired by his dog Rosie, whose image blesses the end of this interview. In honor of his episode of Bravest Warriors premiering tomorrow (5/18), Derek and I sat down to discuss sketch comedy, time travel, and a certain absorbent (and yellow and porous) friend.

Did you always want to be a writer? What’d you want to be growing up?

First I wanted to be a fireman. Then a police officer - huge jump there. Then I wanted to be an astronaut, until I realized I get motion sickness. So I thought I should be an astronomer - a little safer, little less barfing. But in 5th grade, my English teacher Mrs. Carrol gave me high marks on a short story assignment. I got really encouraged by that; I thought, “Hey, maybe I’ve found something I’m good at!” So pretty much from then on, I wanted to be a writer.

Wow, 5th grade? Were you a wunderkind, writing a ton as a kid?

Nah, I wasn’t that ambitious. In high school I took Theater with another great teacher, Mrs. Carrick. She encouraged us to write our own scenes and monologues. So I had the opportunity to try stuff out with my fellow students, and hopefully crack them up with idiocy. Then in college at University of Arizona, I joined a group called Comedy Corner and got really into sketch comedy. I thought if I could make a living doing that, THAT’s what I want to do. There’s nothing like doing live comedy before an audience. It’s thrilling.

Did you stick with comedy after college?

Some friends and I formed our own group! The People Who Do That. We became the kings of Tucson comedy… which, shockingly, didn’t pay the bills. So some of us decided to truck it out to LA to try to make it in the big city.

Did you have a job when you got to LA?

Nope, but I got a really stupid one: phone customer service for a pager company. Let me just say, the introduction of cell phones was NOT the only thing that killed off pagers… but I had a friend working at Nickelodeon, so I managed to get a job as a driver on The Angry Beavers. This was back in the olden days, when if artists needed reference materials, someone had to actually go pick them up from libraries or - RIP - video stores. Soon after, I got a job as a production assistant on a show that Nick had just picked up: Spongebob Squarepants. At the time we all thought, ‘This is a strange little show that hopefully will get a cult following.’ It did a little better than that. So that was kind of my ‘big break’. But it took me 7 years of working on the show to become a writer on it.

How did that path look?

Long and meandering. Because for some time, I thought I wanted to do sketch comedy, and that animation was my day job. I was a PA on seasons 1 to 3 and a coordinator on seasons 4 and 5. In that time I started chipping away at animation writing, because I had to actually learn how to write cartoons. I was used to writing for the stage, and animation is a visual medium. Much more so than even other kinds of TV, let alone theater, so I had to learn to tell stories visually. And stories that kids could relate to—I’d always written for adults, so my stuff went right over kid’s heads. But I wanted to write and kept knocking on the door, and in season 6, became a staff writer. I was one until season 9.

Do you think your background in sketch comedy aided that transition?

Oh yeah, absolutely. When you do a sketch in front of a big throng of crazy college students, it’s clear when it works and when it doesn’t. Sketch taught me not to waste the audience’s time: you get in, do the joke, and get out.

How was working on Spongebob? Any stories, secrets, lore?

It was a wild ride and a lot of fun. I’ve gotta be the only one who remembers this, but I swear it’s true: back in the first season, Steve (Hillenburg, creator) had a sign on his door that read, “Have fun or you’re fired.” It sounds cruel, but it actually set a good tone. We did have a lot of fun! And there wasn't much firing—it’s not like the hatchet fell every time somebody frowned. The crew had awesome camaraderie, and I think that’s reflected in the show. I sincerely believe the environment of a show, how it’s made, affects how it turns out. If a show is made with a tense crew where everyone fears the creator, it shows on-screen. Conversely, if the crew has fun and makes each other laugh, that’s clear on-screen too.

(Season 1 Christmas party: Ennio Torresan, Carly Benner-StClair, Bruce Heller, Mica Nataami, Carl (CH) Greenblatt, and Derek with the devil horns.)

So despite the sign, no one was afraid of Steve Hillenburg?

No, no, the sign is misleading. He’s a total sweetheart. Success couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy: just a thoughtful, funny, sincere human being.

That’s exactly what you wanna hear about your heroes. What’s your favorite thing about the show?

Well Spongebob is definitely a reflection of Steve! As are the other characters, but mostly Spongebob. And to me, the greatest thing about the show, and the reason I think it’s been such a huge success, is that Spongebob is genuine. He’s without guile. He’s enthusiastic without any reservation. And I think, especially when the show came out, a lot of cartoons in the kid realm starred adults disguised as kids. And Spongebob was never that; he was always for kids, always had a kid’s spirit. That’s part of why we never defined his age: he has kid and adult qualities. He’s just sincere—and sincerity is underrated.

Do you have a favorite Spongebob episode?

Man... that’s like choosing a favorite child. But I’ll go ahead and do it. I have several favorites. One is “SB-129”. I’m a bit of a sucker for time travel - it’s part of why I enjoy Bravest Warriors so much. “The Fun Show” is awesome too, it’s a classic. Of episodes I wrote, “Not Normal” was my first and still a favorite. It’s a bit autobiographical: I was a weird kid and always felt like I needed to conform to some idea of normality. After a while, I decided that didn’t matter and I was going to accept being my weird self. And the same is true of Spongebob.

(Mr. Lawrence (aka Plankton), Vincent Waller, and Derek.)

How did you come to write for Bravest Warriors?

After Spongebob, I was a staff writer on Sanjay and Craig, which Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi executive produced. They’re great guys and a blast to work with. They'd also produced Bravest, so I found out about the show through them. I watched it and just thought it was madness in the best possible way. Last year Will mentioned they were looking for writers, so I gave it a shot. I really wanted to be part of the show and feel lucky that I got to be!

What are your favorite things about Bravest Warriors?

I love time travel and sci-fi, and you get both of those in BW. That’s a treat. But I love that it also goes right to the heart of teen angst. That’s a sandbox I don’t get to play in a lot, as I’m usually writing for kids or preschoolers. It’s a lot of fun to deal with broken hearts, romantic attraction, all that gooey hormonal stuff.

Do you have a favorite character from the show?

I like Danny a lot, because he’s kinda pathetic. I just want to help him out. But I can’t resist Catbug. He’s amazing. And I’m a big fan of Impossibear. Something about his gruffness... he’s selfish in a way that reminds me of Bender from Futurama. If I ever got to do another BW episode, I’d want it to be about Impossibear. Finding the mushy heart he hides inside.

What is your episode, “A Apple, B Banana, C Chili” about?

I did a sort of anti-consumerist screed cleverly disguised as a Bravest Warriors episode. The team succumbs to the power of marketing. They have to escape the clutches of a Costco-like superstore. It seemed like a uniquely weird challenge they hadn’t faced before. I think that’s why it was chosen from the ideas I pitched—when you’re pitching on a show with a lot of episodes, you’ve got to find the part of the floor that hasn’t been painted yet.

Aha - don’t they go in that store to grab Wallow a snack?

Haha yeah. Wallow gets hangry on a mission so they go to buy him some chips or a granola bar or something and it goes terribly wrong. I love episodes like that - we did it on Spongebob too - where it’s the simplest possible objective. The goal of the episode is one tiny thing, and then it balloons out from there and becomes ridiculously huge in a way it never deserved to be.

What would you be if you weren’t a TV writer?

Maybe a lawyer. Or a crazy activist trying to make the world a better place and not getting very far. I’d probably be quitting my job at the EPA right now out of sheer frustration. At least writing cartoons, I can express the absurdity of our world—but hopefully to make people laugh, instead of cry.

What are your favorite cartoons?

Well, Spongebob’s pretty darn good. I always loved Ren and Stimpy, the latest news notwithstanding. I’m a simple man: I love Road Runner. I couldn’t resist the simplicity of the gags. You always know what’s going to happen - Road Runner’s gonna get away and Wile E. Coyote is gonna eat it. But you don’t know how he’s gonna eat it. The magic is in the details. I’m a big fan of The Simpsons. And I enjoyed Aqua Teen Hunger Force; Master Shake cracks me up. I love how stupid and petty he is.

After writing for so long, is it ever still challenging?

Absolutely, it’s always a challenge. I think a lot of people struggle with being too precious with their ideas. It’s a collaborative medium: stories change and change and change again. You can accept compromises and look for the good in them, or you can fight against them. My view is, you have to choose your battles. Even the creator doesn’t have complete control. And the best creators and showrunners delegate responsibilities. They trust the people they’ve hired.

Do you pitch show ideas around?

I haven’t as much lately; I’m busy story editing a preschool show now called Hanni and the Wild Woods. But I made a Nickelodeon short a few years back with my friend Miles Hindman, called “Carrot and Stick,” about a pair of buddies who live in a junkyard. Their nemesis is a dog named Rosie, based on my own dog Rosie. It’s a mixed media show - a combination of puppets, live action and 2D - so we wanted her to play herself. It didn’t work out. She’s cute and all, but cute doesn’t make you a good actor…

(Rosie, sweet and perfect in every conceivable way aside from acting ability.)

What else are you working on?

Well besides Hanni, I just got back from teaching an Animation Writing class in Jamaica for a few weeks - that was amazing. It was through The World Bank; they’re trying to build an animation industry over there. I’m glad they found me, it was a ton of fun and some of the student’s ideas were really cool. I also have a YA sci-fi book I really want to write. The trick is finding the time to do it; it keeps eluding me. Earlier I said animation is very collaborative - not so with this book. I have a very specific vision, and I’m excited to tell exactly the story I want to tell. I also write as Spongebob and Patrick on their Twitter accounts - which is a tougher gig than it sounds! All of the 140 character zingers have to be contained to their universe. But it’s fun and keeps me connected to the characters, and I love that.

Thank you for the interview Derek! So much fun talking with you. Good luck on all your many projects, I’ll be on the lookout!

- Cooper
