I have an idea. So there is a cowboy hat rule. And it basically works like this : when the cowboy gives a girl his hat he like "chooses her" and when she gives him his hat back (she have to return the hat to his HOME) they usually fuck or smth. So my idea is that the y/n gives Chris the hat on tik tok, live or yt vid and chris is confused and doesn't know what that means but fans freaks out and he finally learn what that means and return the hat. Or something like this idk
⌗ like the cowgirl you are, c. sturniolo
Tumblr media
chris x fem!reader
summary: chris had given you his hat back in the summertime, now it was finally time for you to return it at your university’s halloween party. except for the fact that you and chris had broken up since the school year started. but cowboy hats do have rules, don’t they?
disclaimers!: smut, kissing, angst, oral sex (fem!receiving), good girl/boy kink, cursing, use of y/n
a/n: i changed up the request a little bit bc it kinda confused me idk 😭 hope the submitter enjoys this though! | also i had to make up her friends name but “eden” is not a special character to the story guys
Tumblr media
it was october 31st, and it was my university’s annual halloween costume party. and also the day that the cowboy hat rule comes to an end.
there’s this tradition to get the freshman at my college to fuck their first year. the boy gives a girl their cowboy hat anytime after summer starts, and they have until the halloween party to have sex. after the halloween party, you’ve lost your free fuck.
chris and i had been dating since sophomore year, and we attended the same school this year too. he had given me his cowboy hat during summertime, but we broke up right after school started.
and i guess today is the last day that the cowboy hat rule is valid. i didn’t want chris to be the person id have to do it with but… we’ll see how tonight goes.
“y/n, lets go!” a voice calls through my door.
“one second! i can’t find my bandana!” the costume was last minute, and i was matching with one of my new friends, eden, who was a sophomore. she wanted to do a matching costume, but the only sexyish ones left at the costume store were cowgirls. ironic, isn’t it?
i see a bright red piece of fabric hanging on the corner of my bed frame. “coming!” i smile, tying the bandana around my neck.
i grab chris’s hat, holding it in my hands, and staring at it. i slowly put it on in the mirror, and sigh. “here we go.”
“i need a drink.” eden sighs. we enter the sorority house that was throwing the party, and she tightly grips my hand, guiding me to the drinks table.
she hands me a red solo cup, and i push her hand back to her. “designated driver? hello?” i raise an eyebrow. she rolls her eyes. “it’s halloween, lets just get an uber or sleep here or something. live a little.” i sigh.
“pleaseeeeeeee.” she dramatically frowns. i cross my arms, and she gives me a look. “fine.” i chuckle.
“im the best fucking drink mixer there is, you wait and see.” she smirks. i shimmy in place next to her. “gotta pee. where’s the bathroom?” i question. eden points to the line of girls waiting next to a wooden door.
“fuck.”
“use the master bathroom. that’s the one for the people in sorority only, but im friends with half the group. tell ‘em i said you could go.” she smiles, licking spilled alcohol off of her finger.
“you sure?” i give a scared look to her. “go, y/n.”
“which door is it?” i bite my bottom lip. “last door on the left. be aware for socks on door handles.” she chuckles. i roll my eyes.
i nod. “i’ll be here when you get back!” i give her a thumbs up before disappearing upstairs. there weren’t really a lot of people upstairs. some people talking in the hallway, some couples sneaking off into bedrooms, or hogging bathrooms.
i arrive at the last door on the left, and i look around to make sure i was at the correct one before entering.
it was so much quieter in here. despite the now muffled music from outside, i’d stay in here for the rest of the party if i could.
drying my hands, i hear muffled sound from the other side of the bathroom door. i slowly open it, hoping i don’t walk out on a couple.
i see a fitted cap sitting on the carpet, and i walk over to it. picking up the hat, i realize exactly whose it is.
“long time no see.” a familiar voice says from behind me.
fuck.
i slowly turn around, preparing to see him. “y/n.” chris smiles that familiar smile.
“christopher.” i stare at him. he smirks, walking closer to me. “y’know, i always loved when you called me that.”
i scoff. “yeah?” he clears his throat. “yeah.”
chris leans against the sofa in the middle of the room, not taking his eyes off of me. i sit on the ottoman a few feet away.
“you look good.” he smiles, bringing his cup to his lips.
“you look… like you.” i fidget with his hat in my hands. chris places his cup on the floor next to his feet, and leans forward. “is that my hat?” he questions.
“yeah, here.” i stand up, and immediately walk over to him. i hold out his cap, and his eyes stay on mine.
“thanks… but not this one.”
i freeze in place. chris stands, towering over me, and takes his cowboy hat off of my head. “you still have this?” he says through a chuckle. “yep.” i sigh.
“we broke up.” chris says, still looking at the hat. i nod, and scoff. “yep.” i say again. he looks at me, and stares.
i sigh. “well, you returned it.” he smirks. i scoff, moving past him, and sitting on the couch. i can feel his eyes burning into the back of my head. “im gonna go.”
i hear his steps get further and further, and then stop at the door. before he gets his hand on the handle, i stand.
“why?”
chris turns around, a confused expression across his face. he shrugs. “why what?” i swallow before speaking.
“why did you kiss her back?” i ask, my voice breaking slowly. chris’s face drops, and he looks at the ground.
“i don’t know.”
i scoff. “you don’t know?” chris slowly steps toward me. i stand, arms crossed, as he arrives in front of me.
“i was wasted. i wasn’t thinking straight. i don’t know why i did it, and ive never forgiven myself, y/n.” he says.
chris slumps down on the sofa next to us, holding his head in his palms. i bite my bottom lip, debating whether or not i should sit.
chris sounded genuine. i truly do believe he didn’t mean to kiss her back. but knowing it happened still hurts.
i sit next to him, my outer thigh rubbing against his the denim that covered his legs. chris rubs his eyes, and drags his fingers down his face. “i really am so sorry.”
i shift in my position, and he looks at me. i try not to hold eye contact because he never looks away. ever.
“please believe me when i say this, i never would do what i did ever again. im so sorry.” he keeps staring.
i sigh, and lean my head against his shoulder. he leans his head on top of mine, and exhales heavily. i smile.
“i still love you.”
my eyes widen, and i slowly lift my head up, his as well. i look chris in the eyes, and he nods. “i mean it.”
i pull on my bottom lip with my teeth, and stand. i take the cowboy hat from his hands, and begin walking to the door. “i love you too.” i say, my hand on the door handle.
chris doesn’t turn around, he continues to face the wall before him, sinking into the couch. and i hesitate. i do still love chris, i never stopped.
but could we really just go back to normal after that? i’m not sure. but right about now, some sex with him would definitely clear the air. although, i’m not sure i’m entirely drunk enough to do that. eden and i pregamed before we left, but that’s about it… fuck it.
“wanna show me how much you still love me?”
chris’s head snaps toward me. he raises an eyebrow. i smile, and raise the cowboy hat above my head.
“i mean cowboy hats do have rules, don’t they?” chris stands, slowly walking toward me with a smirk across his face. “they sure do.”
he lifts me off the ground like i weigh nothing, and i wrap my legs around his waist. chris holds both hands under my ass, and i stare into his eyes. “you sure about this?”
i smile, and place the hat over his long hair.
“yes ma’am.” he replies, instantly laying me down on the master bed beside us, kissing me uncontrollably.
“i missed you,”
kiss.
“so,”
kiss.
“so,”
kiss.
“much,”
and he places one more kiss on my lips, and pulls away, staring down at me. i exhale, breaking the eye contact.
“well, if you missed me so much, prove it.” i smile.
chris’s expression turns into a smug smirk, and he leans forward, kissing me again, and gripping my waist with his pale hands.
he kisses down my neck, leaving notably visibly hickeys as he moves. i breathe heavily, trying to contain myself as he kisses and bites at my skin. “chris, please…”
“so needy. have you been waiting for me to fuck you?”
there was no point in denying. i nod, as he begins to unbuckle his belt. “use your words.” i exhale heavily.
“yeah.”
“yeah?” he pulls his belt out of the loops on his jeans, and tosses it onto the marble floor that surrounded us.
he leans back down, and begins removing pieces of my costume. chris slowly unties the red bandana from around my neck. he looks at it, then at me. “useful.”
chris takes his time removing his t-shirt. he holds eye contact with me, moving as slow as possible. “chris..”
he brings his finger to my lips. “shhh… patience.”
i throw my head back in irritation, and before i know it, two hands grip my thighs and pull me to the edge of the bed. chris spreads my legs, kissing and biting my inner thigh. “don’t need these.” he says, stroking a finger across my underwear before removing them.
he grips my hips, and moves his face closer to me. softly planting a kiss on my clit, i feel him smirk against me.
he moves his head up and down, licking from my entrance and back up to my clit. "fuck—" I moan out as he starts to lap at my clit, sending pleasure everywhere throughout my body.
cheis places his hands on the top of my thighs, making me grind against his mouth, guiding him.
his grip gets tighter, and my breathing heavier.
he continues to lick up my arousal, and i place my hands in his hair, moving it out of his face.
chris stands up, and catches his breath. i do the same, and we finally look at eachother again and he smiles.
“what if i kissed you right now?” “gross.”
he laughs, and begins to unbuckle his belt. chris holds eye contact with me the whole time. “you ready, baby?”
i nod, and chris pulls a wrapped condom out of his sock.“what the hell?” i say, through a chuckle. chris returns a laugh, and rips the top of the wrapper off with his teeth.
“gotta stay prepared.”
he pulls down his boxers, revealing his cock, which oozed with precum. i stare, my eyes getting dry, and chris smirks, placing the condom over himself.
he aligns himself with my entrance, and gives me another look for consent. “ready?” i nod. “positive.”
we both gasp as chris begins to slide in, and an immediate moan leaves my mouth. “shhhhhhhh.”
“we can’t have the whole party hearing you.”
chris glances at my red bandana, and grabs it quickly. he folds it over and over until it’s long, and looks at me.
“head.” he says, i lift my head up as best i can with him thrusting into me, and he ties it around my mouth to the back of my head.
“good girl.”
chris places both hands on my waist again, gripping it tightly. he plunges into me, making a murmured moan leave my lips every time.
chris bites his bottom lip to hold back the moans that threatened to escape him. he throws his head back, and squeezes his eyes shut.
the bed creaks consistently, and it’s pretty loud too, so it’s very obvious to everyone outside what we’re doing.
chris’s thrusts start to slow, and he begins to catch his breath. “so close… gonna—” i feel him turn warm inside me as the condom fills up.
chris leans down, untying the bandana, and placing his head next to mine. i finally breathe, and shut my eyes.
“you’re so good, baby. always so good.”
he lays down next to me, breathing heavily. i just stare at him. and he stares back.
i couldn’t help but think that this was maybe a mistake?
but whether i liked it or not, we had sex, and that’s a pretty difficult thing for two ex’s to get away from.

Double Button
Someone posted something like this the other day, their small detail that drives them crazy. Kid you not, this pic is on my desktop  My small detail that drives me crazy is this: 
Tumblr media
This is a button on top of a button.  Someone glued a button onto a button in such a way that it appears to be unusable as a button.  It’s a yellow button with a white button glued on the top.  The uber button is found on the table in the staff only room, a small detail that just bothers me to no end.
Why double button?  Is there some reference to a button that I am missing? It’s Frank’s color, but Frank’s buttons are red.  Julie’s main outfit doesn’t have buttons, Sally has a flower button and cloud button (though I want to say that earlier versions had the moon button).  I don’t see a button on Barnaby.  Eddie doesn’t have a button. 
Wally…has yellow buttons on his cardigan, both in drawings and in the ad (puppet Wally).  Puppet Wally from the exhibition is wearing a sweater with red buttons. (and finishing up, Poppy is naked except for the scarf, and Howdy has no visible buttons)
Tumblr media
If it is Wally’s button, it could have come with his stuff.  But there aren't any double buttons. The apple there seems like a hint toward Wally being around in some sense, though the descriptions so far have just had him calling on the phone. 
Tumblr media
It is situated by the pens in a box with  a do not touch sign on it, next to gloves with a  note that says everyone is to use gloves, as well as a roller that appears to be covered in the black stuff that can be seen on the walls.  There appears to be a bloody fingerprint on the table in front of the button.  I would assume it was black inky stuff, but it definitely looks red. 
(ignore the circle in the image below.)
Tumblr media
Does any of this help?  No.  But it is interesting. 
This also brings to mind the painted apples from the secret video.  It’s a bit too perfectly apple, but it could stand for all kinds of things.  Knowledge/Eden, Wally, painted apples/Alice in Wonderland’s roses).  It could just be an apple.
Edit: too many typos because I am not a morning guy.

Leverage Mark Showdown -- Second Heat Contestants
Where the nominator left comments (or fun extra descriptors), I'm including their comments, cause those are way better than what I'd come up with. Where they didn't leave comments, you'll have to settle for mine :P
Jack Lattimer The Radio Job, The Last Dam Job (also sort of most of Season 4) Hes a background guy, just barley staying relevant but also managing to be a pain in the ass to Nate and the crew, but he's not as much of a threat as Damien Moreau, but still stays in the background disrupting htings and giving the crew a hard time purely beciase he wasts a few extra bucks. Hes a bad gys that feels realistic an investor who found a way to cheat the system to benefit himself.
Jimmaaay Jimmy Jimmy Ford The Three Card Monte Job go grandpa
Dr. Anne Hannity The Inside Job That cocky/confident shit is hot... Except for the part where she manufactures a famine. But every time she thought she had a trump card she was sexy af
Dalton Rand The Future Job he's the worst kind of loathsome esp bc he's the most directly confronted with the harm he's doing and is totally blase about it
Nicky & Heather Moscone The Wedding Job They're both great caricatures and I like that they double cross each other.
Alan Foss The Two-Horse Job He’s one of the most well-sold “cartoonishly evil immature dickbag“ characters  we encounter. I love his arrogance, his uber-hateable sexism, and the over the top reactions he makes are so much fun to watch him get angry about. Damien Moreau, "IF WE MUST" The Big Bang Job, The San Lorenzo Job - specifically for the bathrobe and flipflops and being carefully staged to not look like everyone around him is normal human size, bless him - silly charming terrifying bastard man. can't believe this hasn't been done yet.
Retzing & Sons The Snow Job Dysfunctional crime family getting synergistically worse the more they try to deal with each other. Also I get excited every time I see my boy Jonathan from Buffy
Meredith The Lonely Hearts Job Man, she actually almost did our heroes in, didn't she? I love her grudging respect for Sophie, like she is genuinely into the art of grifting and willing to acknowledge being bested
James Kanack The First Contact Job He could have just been another rich and successful asshole. But no, that wasn't enough for him. HE HAD TO TALK TO ALIENS.
Mitchell Kirkwood The Studio Job Dude was a charming psycho, I'd let him murder me for my songs 😍 Plus watching his face break was 😚 Divine 😚
Hugh Whitman The Gone Fishin' Job Yeah, you know, let's do some regular debt collection fraud and also fund an entire militia out in the woods behind the bank, that seems normal, right?
Larry Duberman The Reunion Job what if there was a nerd who had sometbing sooooooooo wrong with them. also his actor was in big eden i got really excited when i recognized him
Wendy Baran The Gimme a K Street Job - okay I cave, you got me with this one. You're gonna have to send some propaganda, cause the nominator didn't say anything and i literally remember nothing about this character except she thinks breaking teenage girls' necks is a fun way to make money - Update! The nominator says: - Okay I said Baran bc I hate her so very much -  And she’s a girlboss (derogatory)
Andrew Grant The Miracle Job Love the energy, love the way he threw a wrench in their plans by being even more of a sleazy money grubber than they expected (and more creative about it!), and yeah, he's another one that I actually feel kinda bad for cause playing on his anxiety was LOW.
Irina Larenko The Stork Job She was such a ditzy cunt, I hated her but I loved watching her on screen. Kinda cute in a way idk plus her main muscle was kinda unfff

Story #80 "A Long River Running" 1/5
This is an X-Files fanfiction story.
Read it on AO3
Tons of gratitude to @cecilysass who did really amazing beta work here!
Chapter 1
On a Saturday night Mulder all of a sudden finds himself in a club. For the umpteenth time this evening, he wonders how he’s gotten there. Just a few hours before, he was reclining languidly on Scully’s couch, munching on a mushroom and pepperoni pizza, with a stack of long overdue reports successfully finished and waiting to be submitted first thing Monday morning. He suspected that such an unexpected urge to pull his weight on work was just an excuse. He suspected that Scully suspected it too. He didn’t really know whether he just wanted to avoid another lonely night or just missed seeing his lovely partner. Maybe a bit of both.
At some point, just a little over after ten, he asked if she wanted to watch a movie together and was rendered speechless by her straightforward “no”. He was so genuinely shocked that didn’t even realize how deeply her rejection hurt. Not until he heard the door latching behind him.
Ouch. Apparently, Scully’s perfect weekend night didn’t include his pathetic company. Then again, she probably just planned to take a bath and have an early night. After all, it was one hell of a week and it took its toll on her. He could see it in her tense posture and a dog-tired look on her face—her eyes, normally bright and sparkling, turned almost colorless. The makeup over the beauty mark above her upper lip, which she tended to cover with the meticulous precision of a pathologist, was half-smeared, and somehow the fact that she didn’t bother to fix it spoke volumes.
Normally an introvert through and through, tonight Fox Mulder desperately wanted to surround himself with other human beings. That said, returning to his sad bachelor’s dwelling wasn’t an option, so he strolled to the nearest club. The “Eden” sounded appealing. He’d heard of the place before. Just a few blocks away on foot. He walked.
Now that he’s inside though, he gives up on the whole thing. Somehow, it feels terribly wrong to drink himself into oblivion over something as mundane as Scully’s bubble bath. Is there anything else besides her bath routines and an occasional glass of wine she does to unwind? It strikes him like lightning—he has no idea how Scully spends her time out of the office. It’s not like she has any time to spend out of the office, Mulder chides himself. And if she did? Would she rather stay home and have a quiet night in or consider the invitation to join him in a club? In a new uber-hip fancy club in Georgetown. He had a feeling she’d like the place. 
Inside, it’s dark but also blindingly white, with red accents popping here and there, and he catches the reflection of dozens of other Mulders in the mirrored walls around. There’s the longest bar he’s ever seen, across both sides of which are quirky bed-like leather booths. Barely dressed ladies are tangled around their sick-guns-6-pack-dreamy eyes gentlemen. The place is hyper-modern and everything screams “luxury”—from the futuristic décor of the bar to the obscenely huge but somewhat intimate, like a walk-in shower of a hotel’s suite, dance floor. In this upmarket night escape, wearing his jeans and a plain black t-shirt, Mulder feels ridiculously small and cheap.
The music is deafeningly loud, but he enjoys the repetitive boom-boom beat in his ears and lets his eyes wander to people on the dance floor. As he takes another swig of beer his gaze lands on the diminutive redhead and he almost chokes, immediately drawing a parallel with Scully. She’s a good few feet away and from where he stands, he doesn’t really see anything but a bit of her backside; still, the resemblance is uncanny. Mulder’s got to perch on the footrest of his barstool to get a better look, and when he does, he finds it nearly impossible to look away. He can’t not stare. It’s steaming hot and everything around him is in motion but at that moment he couldn’t care less. 
For Mulder, time stops. 
His eyes are glued to the woman moving with reckless abandon in the center of the white mirrored arena, and he’s mesmerized—by the cap of her hair flashing brightly under the ceiling lights, by how attuned to music her body is. In his mind, he can easily envision her as his gorgeous partner – looking at him sternly and playing by the book in the confines of the Hoover building, and secretly letting her hair down and going wild off the hours. A millisecond-long thought that it might actually be Scully springs to his mind, and Mulder feels himself harden against the denim fabric of his jeans. 
He growls in frustration—it’s too dangerous of a feeling, multiplied by the combination of loneliness and boredom. He hardly ever allows himself to think of Scully this way. He has to remind himself time and again—he has no claim over her. She’s not his. Never been. Probably never will. However, as the seed of curiosity has already been sowed, he’s eager to take a chance with a beautiful stranger and let himself forget.
When Mulder first came to England and became a freshman at Oxford, he thought he had finally gotten free of his father’s silent blame and his mother’s inconsolable grief. As easy as it was to escape his parents’ judgmental looks, to assuage the pain of his own was anything but child’s play. Guilt-ridden and prone to self-flagellation, but also emboldened with the new-found freedom, Mulder swung between extremes. 
On more occasions than remembers he found himself waking up in strange beds with women he barely recognized, in houses full of other broken souls smoking and drinking themselves into oblivion in a futile attempt to forget. Or forgive. Maybe a little of both. Restless and eager to unleash the beasts within the dusk, they looked pathetic and miserable in the first rays of the sun. And he was one of them. One sorry son of a bitch.
Mulder doesn’t want to contemplate his choices now and be reminded of what he doesn’t have. Can’t have.
That woman might not be Scully, but he can pretend she is Scully enough to make tonight special. Gulping what’s left of his drink, Mulder knocks the bottle back on the counter and starts moving towards his fiery-haired goal.
There are couples everywhere he turns—touching and grinding against each other in rapturous delight, but his mysterious lady sways on the dance floor seemingly alone. Her shirt clings like the second skin to her body, baring the slender curves of her shoulder blades and a strip of skin of her lower back. 
As she lifts her hands to pull the red locks off her sweaty face Mulder catches a glimpse of the reddish ink carving a circle on the most perfect of canvases—the woman’s pale back. He’s seen it before. He knows it all too well. 
An ouroboros. The Ouroboros. A painful reminder of how reckless Dana Scully can be. Right on the spot he’s all too familiar with. The spot he claims to be his.
“Scully.” 
Mulder’s heart somersaults in his chest, jubilant at the beautiful vision in front of him, and he starts moving faster, fighting his way through the milling crowd of sweaty bodies. He’s never seen her like that — uninhibited, careless as a child, and weightless as a bird. 
And for fuck’s sake, wearing the snuggest leather pants he’s ever seen! Jesus, he would have never pegged her as a clubber. His all buttoned-up and don’t-mess-with-me agent Scully in their dimly lit basement turns leather-pants-and-fuck-me-shoes Scully when the night falls. How come he never knew? They work together sixty hours a week—eat lunches, spend nights in adjoining rooms of cheap motels all over the country, and hang out at each other’s for movie nights and fucking reports. Hell, they are practically joined by the hip. Yet, he never knew. Apparently, once in a while, Dana Scully likes to take it easy. And that must be how she likes it. 
He can’t stop wondering what else she’s been holding out on him. It stings that Scully kept her plans secret. It’s not like she lied to you, Mulder tries to reason with himself. Is it a girls’ night out? How often does she come here? What other provocative items may he find in her closet? Will she let him join him? Now? Ever? The questions keep piling in his head, not helping in any way but making him acutely aware of what a mystery Dana Scully is. Even after six years together, she keeps him guessing.
He’s almost there, so close that he imagines she can hear him over the roar of music if he’s loud enough. He takes another step — dancing bodies flowing around—and then stops dead. And so does his heart. 
All of a sudden the balance of the entire universe has gotten upset. The blood in Mulder’s veins goes cold, his heart makes another spin and dives in. It doesn’t land gracefully like an elegant trampoline jumper but rather crashes into pieces, turning into an ugly mass and splotching everything around in bloody drops. If he bothers to check the watch on his wrist, he’ll see that the second hand, usually moving with fluid sweep, got stuck and convulses in agony.
He doesn’t. He can’t take his eyes away from Scully.
She dances with her face to him but looks somewhere over her shoulder, and Mulder watches fascinated as a strong male hand creeps from behind her back and moves unrestricted over the bare skin of her stomach. Possessively. 
Scully. A second ago she was merely steps away; a second ago, she was his. Now she’s miles away from his reach – achingly unattainable, someone else’s woman. 
She half turns her head to the stranger behind and covers his mouth with her lips, her right arm goes around his neck, encouraging the guy to get even closer. As if it is fucking possible. The bile starts rising in the pit of his stomach, and Mulder turns away and strides in the direction of the toilets. 
There’s a white gender-neutral bathroom with a row of neat white stalls, and Mulder yanks the first door open, relieved to find it unoccupied. He plunks himself down on the toilet seat, squeezes his eyes shut, and presses the heels of his palms over them. 
He doesn’t know what to do or think. A man. Dana Scully has a man. She looks like she wants to get laid. She wants to get laid. And not with him. The liquified ache pools over the glass of his heart, and Mulder’s urge to wallow in his misery and sink his pain in the bottle returns with a new passion.
He’s gotta get out of here. Now. One minute to relieve himself, another minute to splash cold water on his face. Just as he gets out of his stall and takes a step towards the exit, the door bangs to the wall and a kissing couple rolls into the room. 
Giggling drunkenly, the woman almost trips over the guy’s long legs causing him to break the kiss. She starts checking the doors for an unoccupied and relatively clean stall, oblivious to someone else’s presence in the room. One of the doors jerks open and a short plump man comes out, bumping her with his shoulder on his way to the sinks. The woman shoots him an incredulous look and then finally notices another person — a tall guy, watching her intently over the shorty’s head. Her eyes go wide and her mouth drops open. Her voice, when she finally finds it, is barely a whisper.
“Mulder.” Fuck.

P.S. The "Eden" club was inspired by the real place. Here it is :)

Holy shit, I loved the first two issues of X-Men Red, but this third issue just......I haven’t been this invested in a comic, or surprised by the twists it takes, in longer than I can remember. Ewing had me with his S.W.O.R.D. series back in Dawn of X, but his plotting and pacing in XMR is on another level entirely. And his characterizations are just....*chef’s kiss* 
I will ALWAYS agree with the criticism of him being heavily whitewashed compared to his original design and depictions, but writing wise? THIS is the Roberto DaCosta I’ve been waiting to read again for AGES.
Tumblr media
The way he played Isca, using the right of challenge by insult to force her hand, tricking her power into ensuring Magneto won his challenge against Tarn, even though he knew damn well how she’d react and what it would cost him......Sunspot is playing 3-D chess out here while all the allegedly more powerful and influential mutants of both Arakko’s Great Ring and Krakoa’s Quiet Council are puttering around playing checkers. He finessed this whole situation from the word go, and even played Magneto to get him into position (though I think Mags at least is very aware of that, and more than a little proud of his former pupil for that. I LOVE that Ewing’s leaning so heavily into their history together from when Magneto was headmaster of the Institute and the New Mutants’ primary teacher).
Tumblr media
I mean really, X-Men Red itself is the book I never knew I wanted this badly until now, but its just.....its like Dune meets Game of Thrones but with X-Men. The politics and power struggles, the dedication to examining and subverting colonialist and imperialistic tropes, the larger than life and surrealist backdrop of Mars as a fully terraformed and flourishing mutant homeworld, the way every single main character has multiple agendas and constantly shifting allegiances, the intricacies of the actual fights between the MANY omega mutants on the cast, each and every one of them a potential planet-killer in their own right....
Not to mention the unapologetic over the top DRAMA of it all, lmao:
Tumblr media
(Honestly, that’s one of the things that impresses me most about Ewing’s work with the Great Ring. How writers handle uber-powered characters while keeping stakes high and plausible, like, tends to be a very good barometer for their work as a whole. Its HARD to pull off, without making everything feel very paint-by-numbers and with no real risk or urgency, let alone just flat out unrealistic or riddled with plot holes. And not only has Ewing been juggling Storm, Magneto, Tarn, Vulcan and Isca from the start, he’s been laying seeds for Lodus Logos, Lactuca and some of the other GR members to become entangled in the larger plot as well. PLUS there’s the fact that most of these characters are now literally immortal and unkillable thanks to the resurrection protocols, yet he’s still managing to make the now-merely-temporary-deaths feel weighty and significant even without the threat of permanence. And I REALLY want to see Ewing’s take on Ora Serrata).
But like. There’s so damn much to enjoy about this book, I can’t believe its literally only on its third issue:
Brand and Ororo’s ideological war over Arakko’s autonomy and their constant attempts to outmaneuver and keep two steps ahead of the other. (Like seriously, Brand vs Ororo is fast becoming the new Xavier vs Magneto dichotomy for me). 
Tumblr media
Cable, Thunderbird and Manifold’s subterfuge, working to undermine Brand from the inside, with even Nate and John’s ‘fight’ in the last issue having just been a deliberately staged bit of theater to sell the idea they hate each other too much to EVER work together against a common enemy....all while remaining true to the fact that its not actually a lie, they really do have beef with each other and are not remotely interested in being friends.
Tumblr media
(Also I remain unapologetically stanning one Eden Fesi and I’m so glad his apparent departure from the cast last issue was just a fake-out and he’s not actually going anywhere. BEST CHARACTER IS BEST, SORRY NOT SORRY).
Tumblr media
Brand’s blatant manipulations of Vulcan as she attempts to use him as her ‘big gun’ to gain herself an in on the Great Ring, now that she knows there’s no way she can use Ororo to further her agenda. 
Tumblr media
Not to mention that every fucking time Gabe gets beaten and humiliated to hell and back, the stakes just keep rising, thanks to how heavily Ewing’s foreshadowing what’s to come once ‘the real Vulcan’ cracks through the shell those aliens from the Fault used to hide ‘his true mind.’
(And I’m like LMAO that freaking MENTALLO has a better read on Gabe’s real thoughts than Xavier. Loooooooool).
Tumblr media
Magneto’s breakdown and the reveal of what really made him leave Krakoa and seek solitude on Arakko - how he’d hoped when Wanda made the Waiting Room, it might finally lead to Anya’s resurrection as well, but it turns out she wasn’t even a latent mutant, and there’s just no way to bring her back after all (at least not using the res protocols). 
Tumblr media
The way this is juxtaposed later in the issue with Isca’s vulnerability when she’s tricked into basically sealing Tarn’s fate herself, and the fact that for a woman whose own power has made her betray her closest family in the past, no matter how vile Tarn was, the fact that they spent a thousand years fighting on the same side MEANT something to her. She’s not as cold and jaded as she likes to present herself as, and for a brief moment her mask slipped in public, and she’s as likely to hold a grudge against Roberto for THAT as for the actual manipulation itself.
Tumblr media
The sheer fucking BRILLIANCE of how Roberto looked at this nigh-all powerful mutant who has literally spent four thousand years being known as THE UNBEATEN thanks to her omega level power to manipulate probability and ensure she literally CAN NOT lose.....and where everyone else sees proof there’s not even a POINT to challenging her, he sees opportunity and is just like....no yeah, I can use that. 
Like, what Magneto did in his actual fight with Tarn was irrelevant before the fight even began, because Roberto had ALREADY ensured his victory just by backing Isca and her power into inadvertently siding with Max instead of her long-time ally, Tarn. That’s so galaxy brain, I can’t even. 
afhslfhalfhal
Like not gonna lie....a BIG part of why I was so bummed when it was leaked that Bobby was just moving over to Duggan’s X-Men title, was because I had genuinely, sincerely convinced myself that he HAD to be the ringer Storm was bringing in to beat Tarn and take an additional seat on the Great Ring, because there was simply no other omega she could both trust AND who was actually capable of beating Tarn. His powerset is a beast and I don’t know that its a given that Magneto could have beaten him without the edge Roberto gave him. Whereas Bobby’s one of the few omegas whose own powerset comes with a built-in immunity/workaround for Tarn’s particular bag of tricks.
I mean I KNEW Gabe wasn’t going to be able to pull it off, no matter how Abigail tried to stack the deck in his favor, but I didn’t think that was where Ewing was going with Magneto either, not for sure, just because I think in most variations of this fight, Tarn WAS the more likely victor there. But the combo of Roberto’s insurance policy and how Max used his helmet.....perfection.
Also perfection? Magneto’s budding bromance-plz-let-it-be-more with the Fisher King. I LOVE their dynamic, and Mags is ABSOLUTELY winning the Magneto/Xavier break-up because of it. LMAO.
Tumblr media
As for Tarn’s fate.....eh, its not the last we’ve seen of him. He’s basically the Arakkii version of Sinister, there’s no WAY he doesn’t have clones of himself stashed away somewhere, or some failsafe in place in case anyone ever did get the drop on him. Especially after Ororo humbled the fuck out of him in their duel.....that scene made it clear he’s waaaaaay too big on self-preservation to risk not coming up with some get out of death free card for himself.
But then, I’m ALSO not convinced that we’ve seen the last of Nameless. I don’t buy that she actually killed herself at the end of losing HER duel to Ororo, and I think she just faked it with that lightning strike before slipping away to recover and plan for her revenge another day. 
So I’m kinda expecting that some of these fallen Great Ring members are still gonna be out there, maybe forming a kind of Shadow Ring of their own, to undermine Storm and her allies on the GR.
Of course, even without that, Roberto’s gambit might have won them the Seat of Loss, but it came at a cost as it guaranteed that the formerly ambivalent ‘frenemy’ Ororo had in Isca, has now given way to absolutely-holding-a-grudge-enemy-for-life Isca. And we’ve already seen in X of Swords that ideally, you WANT an apathetic Isca who doesn’t care all that much about what happens to you after her inevitable victory. An Isca the Unbeaten who is INVESTED in beating you.....that’s something to be afraid of.
Tumblr media
And lastly, but certainly not least:
I fucking love Khora, and I hope she takes Ororo up on her offer to jump ship from Brand’s camp and join her Brotherhood instead.

A delivery driver who shot a YouTube prankster has been acquitted of the main charge against him.He said he was acting in self-defense when he shot Tanner Cook during a prank, and the jury agreed.However, the jury was split on lesser firearm charges.A delivery driver who said he was acting in self-defense when he shot a YouTube prankster in a mall food court in April has been acquitted of the main charge against him.A jury on Thursday found Alan Colie not guilty of the primary charge of aggravated malicious wounding in the shooting of Tanner Cook, 21, who runs the "Classified Goons" YouTube channel, Virginia court records show.But the jury was divided on lesser firearms charges, finding the 31-year-old guilty of the unlawful discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling, but not guilty of the malicious discharge of a firearm.The charges of aggravated malicious wounding and malicious discharge of a firearm would have required the jury to find that Colie acted with malice.According to the Associated Press, the verdict was reached only after five hours of deliberation, with the jury sending out a note about three hours in saying it was "divided in terms of whether the defendant acted in self defense."In response to the deadlock, the Loudoun County Circuit Court judge urged them to continue their deliberations, which is standard procedure, the news agency reported. The jury then reached its verdict before the end of the day.Jurors watched a video of the shooting, which took place near the Cheesecake Factory in Virginia's Dulles Town Center mall.At the time, Cook said he was playing a "simple practical joke" when Colie pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and shot him.The footage showed Cook holding his cellphone close to Colie's face and repeatedly playing a phrase from Google Translate. AP reported that Colie said "stop" on three different occasions and tried to move away from Cook before pulling out his gun and immediately shooting him.Cook's father, Jeramy Cook, told Insider in April that his son was hospitalized following the shooting, adding that his gallbladder was removed during surgery.Prosecutor Eden Holmes argued that the facts did not support a self-defense claim, according to AP.To successfully argue self-defense, Colie would have had to reasonably believe he was in imminent danger of bodily harm and avoided using excessive force, per AP. Holmes said that while the prank was bizarre, it did not carry the threat of violence, AP reported.But Colie's defense attorney, Adam Pouilliard, said during closing arguments that his client felt scared by the confrontation with the YouTuber, the news agency reported.He also argued that the conviction on the firearms charge was inconsistent with the law since Colie was acquitted on self-defense grounds, with Pouilliard asking the judge to set aside the conviction, according to AP.A judge will hear arguments on the issue next month, court records show.Cook, whose other videos include stunts like trailing strangers in stores and pretending to vomit on Uber drivers, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.Pouilliard, who is representing Colie, who remains incarcerated, told Insider that he is unable to comment because the case is still ongoing.Read the original article on Insider

KQ released another statement about disrespectful fans, but it's not enough, they need to start electrocuting them or something. I'm not sure how some fansites work either, I know some get info from the companies (not always legally), so you're gonna wake up early as fuck to take some photos??? Be serious lol it's so weird to me...
Stop this isn't Sweet Home Alabama moment ok 😭 I heard that some people were disappointed with Romantic Killer's ending? The manga isn't terrible, but it was boring to me
I think Tasir being the bad guy wouldn't make sense and be such a cheap plot twist. So fingers crossed he's okay 🤞 The earrings phase started with Howl Pendragon and now we're here...
It's sad to see great teams lose, but also kinda funny ngl 😅 this year is wild, and the fact Italy didn't even qualify like what? Honestly I haven't watched the matches, just saw bits and pieces, but I heard some decisions were controversial. Richarlison is so funny, I can't stan a Spurs player tho, gotta respect myself. Lmao Mbappe, that would be me
SM is either doing something right or terribly. With JYP, Skz are doing ok so clearly their division isn't that bad, but Itzy? Some people argue Twice is losing their momentum as well... Itzy tho, damn they had so many Korean and Japanese releases this year and all of them were pretty mid and kinda similar 💀
Both Jinni amd Yedam trained for a long time, whatever happened with them hopefully they're doing ok
Thankfully my friend didn't meet a lot of racists jahdhshsjagsha she had a boyfriend there, but now she has another one in Straya 👀 so nothing is really there for her in the Maple Land anymore. Zoologist and something else, I always forget because it's so complicated lol.

Sugar, Honey, Ice and Tea - Matthew Tkachuk (16)
Tumblr media
Notes: minimal editing you know. also, did you guys think they were going to have a good date?! 
all parts
-
What could go wrong?
It was an excellent question with an even better answer:
Everything. Everything could go wrong and it absolutely fucking did. 
You had been sitting, in a dress a little too tight and high as the sky heels that were insanely uncomfortable, for about twenty minutes when Matthew rolled into the restaurant. He was dressed in a tee shirt and joggers, clothing entirely too casual for the venue, and you could tell he’d been drinking.
“Sorry I’m late, had some stuff to do.”
You ignored the slight slur in his voice as you tried your best to smile at him, “you’re here now,” it was clipped but he didn’t notice.
“Yeah, yeah, definitely,” he pulled his chair out and plopped into it, completely ignoring you as he dove into the bread sitting in the middle of the table. 
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, Matthew.”
He had downed two pieces of bread by the time you spoke up and after you did, his eyes stayed on the food in his hands. 
“You ask me out on a date, show up drunk and underdressed, and pay more attention to the appetizer than to me, this is such fucking bullshit.”
You were seeing red, and it wasn’t just the color of the carpet beneath your heels. He laughed to himself and continued to smash on the bread as you fished your phone out of your purse and ordered an Uber. 
This was a mistake and you should have known better. 
You were pretty sure Matthew didn’t even realize you excused yourself from the table and left the restaurant but you made sure to stop your server on the way out and order three bottles of the most expensive wine in house before you left, ensuring he was left with an extravagant bill. It was petty, but you couldn’t care less. 
++
The cookies and the nighttime city views were nice but they were just another one of those fleeting moments where Matthew acted like a human with real emotions. Showing up for the date drunk and dressed in casual clothes had you seething and you spent the entirety of your ride back to your apartment with you fists clenched so tight your fingernails left little crescent shaped indents in your palms. 
“He’s a fucking asshole, Onyx, he’s such a fucking asshole and that was his last chance. It’s like, he’ll do one nice thing only to follow it up with something so shitty it’s like he didn’t even do the nice thing in the first place.”
Unamused, Onyx continued to lick his paws and ignore your rant. You huffed at this, “You’re a shit listener, bud.” 
Your cat might have been a shit listener but you knew someone that wasn’t.
I know it’s late, you started a message to Brady, but your brother is such a fucking dick and I had to remind you of it.
Your phone was ringing less than five minutes later.
“I know you had a date tonight, what the fuck happened?” 
“Hello to you too, Brady.”
“Hi. What happened?” 
As you recounted the evening’s events to the younger Tkachuk brother, the irritation you felt earlier in the night began to make its way back into your head and based on Brady’s responses, you weren’t the only one in a bad mood because of the way things went down.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me? He’s really self-sabotaging the fuck out of this and I almost want you to tell him to kick fucking rocks permanently.”
“I’m ready to do that, honestly. It was so fucking embarrassing. The wait staff were all giving me those sympathetic looks and whispering to each other while I sat at a table by my fucking self until he got there and made me look even more stupid. I got dressed up, I made a fucking effort and he made a mockery of the entire ‘date.’”
“I know, I don’t blame you for being pissed. He’s not usually this bad at dealing with women, he doesn’t have a shit ton of game but he’s handled this whole situation with you absolutely fucking wrong.”
The two of you talked for a little longer before saying your goodbyes and ending the call. You weren’t sure what was going on between yourself and Matthew anymore but it was obvious that it wasn’t working out and after tonight, you were tired of it. 
It was time to put whatever this was to bed for good. 
Grabbing your phone from the coffee table, you leaned back against the couch and sent Matthew a text message: Hey Matthew, so tonight didn’t go as planned and it’s fine. I think it’s best for us to just have a professional relationship anyway. If you need to contact me, you can email me whenever. See you at work.
It wasn’t the most eloquent message you’d ever typed but hopefully it would get the point across. You read it one final time before pressing send, and as soon as ‘delivered’ appeared under the bubble, you blocked his number.
*
He woke up to the sound of a blaring alarm and a splitting headache. He also realized, after a few moments of finding his bearings, he wasn’t in his own bed. 
“Good morning, sunshine.” 
It wasn’t a voice he wanted to hear, “morning Eden.”
“I’m curious, Matty,” she leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek, “why were you at a such fancy place in such shitty clothes?” 
“What are you talking about?” 
“When you called me, you were at that fancy French place downtown by yourself. When I got there, you were deep into a bottle of expensive wine at a table that was clearly set for two. What’s going on?” 
Her voice was sickly sweet but despite his pounding headache, Matthew knew there was something accusatory hidden behind it. 
“I was celebrating.” 
“Celebrating what?” 
She was digging a bit too deep for someone that was just a casual hookup and it was starting to piss him off.
“The end of our arrangement.” 
He ignored the pain in his temples and pulled himself out of bed, grabbing his phone from the bedside table. Making his way through her apartment to put on his shoes and get the fuck out of there, he ignored her whining behind him. 
“Bye Eden,” he said before slamming the door on her and heading out into the cold Calgary air. 
It wasn’t until he went to order an Uber that he realized he had a bunch of unread text messages, most of them from Brady, but only one from her. 
Opening the text from her first, his heart sank when he read it. What the fuck had he done? 
As his Uber headed toward his apartment, Matthew read over the texts from Brady and, thought he couldn’t really remember the night before, it was pretty fucking obvious that he had ruined everything.
He had ruined everything and there wasn’t really even anything to ruin yet. 
Matthew took the elevator to her floor and slowly made his way down the hall toward her door, they were off today, she was most likely home. He stopped in front of her door but he couldn’t bring himself to knock. 
He was the one that left her sitting alone in a restaurant looking like a million fucking dollars while he showed up late, drunk and underdressed. Peanut butter cookies and his best version of puppy eyes weren’t going to fix this. She wanted a strictly professional relationship and Matthew had to respect that, especially after all the shit he’d put her through. 
The sound of the elevator hitting his floor pulled him out of his thoughts and he noticed a bag sitting in front of his door. As he approached, Matthew noticed the logo on the bag and a piece of paper taped to it. 
“You left without these, figured you’d want them because you paid. Got your address from the reservation application. I hope you can figure things out, that girl you were supposed to meet was an absolute catch. Dave, wait staff.” 
As if he needed reminding. Two bottles of the expensive wine she had spite ordered sat in the bag. Matthew unlocked his apartment and took them inside, pulling them out of the bag and throwing the note away, only to tape a new one on one of the bottles. 
*
You hadn’t planned to check your email at all but work was work and you loved your job. It was the usual shit and you promised yourself this was the last time you would refresh until you closed your laptop. 
A message from Matthew Tkachuk popped up, sent seven minutes ago. No message content but the subject read: I’m sorry, check your door.
You were off your couch faster than you cared to admit. 
“What the fuck,” you said to yourself, grabbing the bottles of wine and bringing them inside. 
They were easily recognizable. It was the wine you ordered on your date with Matthew and you were shocked to see them sitting outside your door. What was most surprising though, was the note attached to one of the bottles. 
‘Please take these as a gift, from a Flames player, to a very appreciated, supported and loved Flames staffer.’
*
If all she wanted was a professional relationship, Matthew would be the best damn coworker she’d ever had.
He placed the bottles gently on the floor and decided against knocking, choosing instead to go back up to his place and send her a ‘professional' email.

“You and Henry are a thing, aren't you?” Your best friend asked, smirking at you, knowingly.
“What?” You replied, your voice a little higher than necessary.
“I knew it!” They laughed, slapping their knee.
“How!?” You demanded, voice cracking.
“Love language.” They answered, proud of themselves for noticing.
“The way you lean into each other as you sit on the couch, knees and thighs always touching. How Henry's hand lingers on the small of your back, as he stands beside you, or how his hugs are just a little bit longer than they are, when he hugs a friend or anyone else, and how he hugs you against his full body, not half of it or the side hug thing.” They explained to you, rattling everything off that you and Henry had thought you kept on the down low.
“You always sit or stand beside each other, and the look of annoyance on Henry's face or the disappointment on yours, when you can't sit or stand together. He has a key to your flat--”
“Wait, wait, wait, how the hell do you know he has a key to my place?” You cut her off with a wave of your hand and shake of your head.
“Because I have a key to your flat and I know what the tooth pattern looks like and saw it, when he pulled his car keys out once.”
“Okay, it's weird that you memorized that and you were staring that closely at his keys.” You snorted, refilling your wine glass.
“Where was I?” They hummed, taking a gulp of their wine. “Right, He has a key to your flat, which means you probably have a key to his place. How, when Henry brings Kal around, you call the Akita, and I quote: 'my Baby Boy', and how Kal goes so bonkers over you, as if you were a golden squirrel in the Garden of Eden, and the Bear falls asleep in your lap faster than he falls asleep with Henry.”
“He is such a good boy.” You grinned, thinking about the floofy Bear.
“I also know that you have his address saved on your Uber account, which means you've Ubered to his place, at least once. You're always making eye contact with him, whether you're talking to each other, or staring at each other from across the room. He's gotten you some expensive and very thoughtful and meaningful gifts for your birthday and Christmas, and always compliments you.”
“All right, I get your point.” You told her, trying to hide your grin around the rim of your wine glass.
“So, how long have you and Henry been together?” She asked, finishing off her own wine.
“Almost a year.” You confessed, biting your lip.
“It must be serious, by how strong your guys' love language is.”
“It really is.”

OCTOBER                           2021
 THE RIB PAGE
*****
We miss U Charlie Watts!!
*****
The Stones performed at a private party for Patriots owner Robert Kraft of all people. The test run looked like just that. Shark jumped. I am becoming disillusioned.
*****
SNL is back with Owen Wilson as first host of season 47. Kacey Musgraves is the musical guest. Episode 2 will have a ridic choice for host. Halsey will sing. I suppose $ is power with the Kardashians. I could think of about 10 million other people to host but more and more Lorne goes for the shiny object , what he THINKS people want instead of taking risk. Beck Bennett is out.
*****
Is everybody watching the Amber Ruffin Show?? I loved her before but now… I learn so much from her show. Sometimes it takes a comic to get to the real serious shit. For example: Have you heard of drowning towns? Towns like Oscarville, Kowaliga, York hill, Seneca Village, Prentiss and countless other black towns that were drowned out to make lakes for the local whites. Central Park was also made after a black community was erased from history. Development displacement? Alleyway dwelling authority? Even those rabid for history can find out new things everyday. Thanks Amber!!
*****
Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are finally giving us Peril !!!!!!  I’ve been waiting!!** I was in political nerd heaven on Sept. 24 when Yamiche hosted Robert, Bob and Weijia Jang on Washington Week. All of my favorite pundits all together at one table, my dream team!!
*****
Iman looked great at the Met Gala!! Other great looks belonged to AOC, Tessa Thompson, Maluma, Helen Lasichanb and Pharrell Williams. Gigi Hadid, Kiki Layne, Ashton Sanders, Hailee Steinfeld, Kehlani, Zoe Kravitz, Michaela Cole, Lili Reinhart, Kate Hudson and Shai Gilgeous- Alexander were great. Whoopi Goldberg seemed a bit off.
*****
Jason Isbell is back with his latest offering, Georgia Blue.

I see a lot of Title Max type establishment are closing down. Are they a thing of the past? Let’s hope.

*****
Britney Spears Father was suspended as her conservator.
*****
Timothy Chalamet, Rowan Atkinson, Sally Hawkins and Olivia Coleman will star in Wonka.
*****
The 2022 Super Bowl halftime show will bring us Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar.
*****
People are doing test runs for school board positions to see if their political ideas will play well for the big leagues. If they don’t seem to work, at least they can sometimes change the rules in their own area.
*****
Joe Rogan got Covid.
*****
Lake Michigan beaches were closed down thanks to a US Steel plant chemical leak.
*****
Is this country the master of endless administrative work?  None of us should have been surprised at the red tape that the slowed down the end of the war in Afghanistan.** Uber donated 50k for rides and meals to the Afghans when they arrive.**And why do so many waste taxpayer $ on useless recounts and recalls when people need real help with food and healthcare? They must really hate humanity.
*****
R. Kelly was found guilty of 8 counts of sex trafficking and 1 count of racketeering.
*****
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
*****
Texas has put a law into effect to allow most Texans to carry open without permit or training.
*****
Texas has banned abortion at about 6 weeks. Uber and Lyft will pay drivers legal fees if sued under Texas abortion law. Lyft donated $1mil to Planned Parenthood. ** Look for the ruling in the Mississippi law over Roe V. Wade in June 2022.**Hear us roar!** BTW.. Go Jen Psaki!!!!!!!
*****
They seriously banned plastic straws and abortion before assault rifles? – Eden Dranger
*****
Please stop banning abortions, the last thing the world needs is more Americans. –Sarah Beattie

*****
90 year old William Shatner will go to space for Blue Origin.
*****
The Q Anon Shaman pled guilty to a felony for obstructing the Electoral College proceedings. I say 20 years and a $250K fine.** 600 others have been indicted.
*****
Days Alert: The Beyond Salem thing was ridic but it was so great to see some old characters.  Days is so great at visiting old family. Who can resist Shane, Austin and Carrie, Billie and the old Kristen? I do wish that Peacock would get their kinks out!! Back to the real Days: Are we smelling an Emmy for Susan Seaforth Hayes and Bill?? ** Good to have Abigail back. It is always fun to wonder which actress and or personality it will be. ** Deidre Hall got her star on the walk of fame.**And just in time for Halloween, the Devil is making a comeback. The end of the year in Salem is always the best!! It is so brave to give the 96 year old man the old switcheroo into the Dark Lord.  It was fun to see the grandkids discover Grandma Marlena’s story. Delicious!! Hail Satan!!** It is past time for Tate and Teresa to come back to town. Brady needs to be put in his place. And thanks for the Philip and Chloe flashbacks!!
*****
The breakdown of the vaccinated: 90% of Atheists, 86% Hispanic Catholic, 84% Agnostic, 79% White Catholic, 73% White mainline protestant, 70% Black mainline protestant, 57% white evangelical. 1 in 500 Americans have died of Covid.
*****
So Mike Lindell and Jim Baker have teamed up to sell children’s Bible pillows.** Piers Morgan has returned to the Murdoch organization by joining Fox. That sounds about right.
*****
Please stop saying the vaccine does not have severe side effects, I took my shots and now I’m alive and have to keep working. –Mohand Eishieky

*****
Simone Biles, Mckayla Maroney and Aly Rasiman testified at  the Senate judiciary hearing about the FBI’s handling of accusations against Larry Nassar and it was eye opening!
*****
We wanted a no -nonsense Dem who pushes on and does not puss out.  I am a bit surprised to see we have it. There are so many pressing issues that I hope Biden works a bit more on Haiti though.
*****
The National Police Act was passed to celebrate cops. Still no police reform.
*****
John Mulaney and Olivia Munn are going to have a baby.
*****
The Emmy’s were a little different this year with more of a Golden Globe look.  Cedric the Entertainer hosted with Reggie Watts as DJ. Lots of minority noms but barely a win. It was a white people night. Ted Lasso had a great night. Mare of Eastown took home a few with Evan Peters, Julianne Nicholson and Kate Winslet. Now, Kate is great but how did Anya Taylor- Joy not walk away with that? Queens Gambit did win a couple and gave the longest speech with the seemingly arrogant director Scott Frank who opened up 2 page acceptance. Categories were tough but I was routing for Renee Elise Goldberry and Bowen Yang but perhaps next year. The people in England who had their own party for all the statues that the Crown won seemed to be having more fun! Hacks won for writing and directing and Jean Smart!! It was nice to see the Norm Macdonald love which was barely mentioned by Lorne but celebrated by John Oliver. Colbert ‘s election night special won as did JB Smoove. Hamilton won and Debbie Allen got the big one. I do not understand why real singers and or musicians have to be there for the in Memoriam. It takes me out of it a bit and concentrates the focus on them. Do they think that people will pay attention more? Do they want to keep the home audience or live audience from the bathroom?  My best dressed were Anya Taylor-Joy, Michaela Cole who won for I may destroy you, Jean Smart, Josh O’Connor, Kathryn Hahn, Billy Porter, MJ Rodriguez, Keenan Thonpson, Leslie Odom Jr., Catherine O’Hara, Trevor Noah, Eugene Levy, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, Bowen Yang,  Anthony Anderson, Leslie Grossman, Amber Ruffin, Allyson Felix, Renee Elise Goldberry, Samira Wiley and Rege- Jean Page. My worst were Sarah Paulson, Gillian Anderson,  Beanie Feldstein, Elizabeth Olsen and Aidy Bryant. To me the best part of the show was the enthusiasm of Conan and the way he injected himself into much of the evening .He was the show.  Go Conan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****
Next year there must be some Emmys for Sarah Paulson and Cobie Smulders in Impeachment!!!!!
*****
Oh Boy!! The Eyes of Tammy Faye!!
*****
Looking forward to the Electric Life of Louis Wain with Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.
*****
Abba has a new album!!
*****
Shang Chi is the biggest Labor Day opening with a $71.4 mil opening.
*****
Sen. Amy Klobuchar has announced she has breast cancer.
*****
Is it the 70’s? A streaker ran past the studio of the Today show.
*****
Rascal Flatts Joe Don Rooney was arrested for DUI.** Nicholas Cage was thrown out of a prime rib pace in Vegas after being drunk and disorderly.
*****
Jennifer Eckhart has filed a lawsuit against former Fox news anchor Ed Henry for rape and retaliation after allegedly being handcuffed and beaten.
*****
Scarlett Johansson has settled her Disney lawsuit.
*****
Pete Buttigieg and Chasten had twins they named Penelope Rose and Joseph August.
*****
I noticed a commercial for Dancing with the Stars. Are we onto the E list because I have heard of hardly any of these people. ‘Stars’is really stretching it. And as I post this I see there are some covid issues there as well.
*****
Virgin River was renewed for 2 more seasons.
*****
Trevor Noah is right? Why do they stop giving lollipops to adults at the doctor?
*****
Jon Stewart is back on Apple tv with ‘The problem with Jon Stewart.
*****
Brooklyn 99 had about the best finale (other than Newhart) that I can recall. I had my fingers crossed that Chelsea would be back. Will they honor us like they did in the show and come back for a special about once a year? That would be fucking awesome!!
*****
Don’t expect compliments from an insecure person.- Mr. Pickles
*****
Thousands and thousands of people are in need. Haitian refugees and other immigrants have seen nothing like this what with assassination, a hurricane and earthquake. The Southern border is a mess.** Why does Fox news keep telling refugees the border is open as they sit back and laugh at Biden’s predicament.  Spreading false info to intentionally hurt poor, distressed people has no end for them.
*****
Do companies know how fucked up their employment websites are? It is true that some people do not want to work. It is true that people schedule interviews and don’t show up. It is also true that companies have made it so hard to apply that many can’t. I suppose it is easier for them but the poor who may really want to work have a hard time. Paper applications are almost completely gone. The old fashioned way of walking into low paying job sites and finding a connection with a manager rarely exist. Some places only accept texts or have long ridiculous psych tests that a working Mother may not have time for. A Father working many hours already, may not be able to go to the library to get online if they cannot afford a computer. Many websites tell you that there no positions available in your area while there is a huge sign in front of the establishment. Can’t find people to work.. Gee I wonder why?? And treat people with respect once you find them, how about that?
*****
Keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success. –Jerry Seinfeld
*****
Hey.. There was a van air B’n B biz going that got busted. Hey.. The poor need vaca’s too. It is wrong but If they are willing to sleep in a van, why not. I truly think that many do not understand how much people are struggling.
*****
Free coffee day came and went but only a few places really gave you free coffee without rules to govern the promo. Some places wanted to sell you something else and some made you belong to their club. Starbucks held that customers had to come inside for the free cup of Joe, handicapped or not.
*****
One would think the Republicans would run out of $ for recounts but they have deep pockets. Just think how much good they could do for the huddled masses with that scratch.
*****
Sad to lose Mick Brigden, protégé of Bill Graham who managed The Stones and worked with Frampton, Dylan and Santana.** And the comics were very vocal about the loss of Norm Macdonald. He was one of a kind and he will be missed!
*****
R.I.P. Ruth Marx, Lee Scratch Perry, Willard Scott, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Isadore Bleckman, George Wein, Michael K. William,George Holliday, Anthony Johnson,  Basil Hoffman, Al Harrington,Willie Garson, Mick Brigden, Tommy Kirk and Norm Macdonald.

The 100 for the in depth fandom questions (of course!)
Top 5 favourite characters: Murphy, Echo, Raven, Emori, and Octavia. The order has varied but the members have been constant since 5x02.
Other characters you like: Indra, ALIE, Becca, Josephine, Jaha, Diyoza, Hope, Anya, Gaia, Lincoln, Harper, Monty... a lot.
Least favourite characters: Bellamy, Kane, Lexa (she bored me). Clarke and I are in a weird place xDD
Otps: Memori, Biyoza, Clarke/Josephine, Indra/Sheidheda, Echoven. Followed by an army of rareships.
Notps: Clarke/Raven, Bellamy/anybody, Clarke/almost anybody.
Favourite friendships: the remaining Spacefam aka snowkru, the og s5 spacefam, Echo’s infiltration team(s), Murven & Memoraven, Murphy & Monty.
Favourite family: Diyoza-Blake clan. They hypenate.
Favourite episodes: 2x12 (Memori’s 1st meeting), 1x10 (I watched it ONCE when it aired and I still remember it so vividly...), 3x02 (Memori stuff!), 3x10 (ALIE VS RAVEN), 3x11 (again), 4x08 (take a guess), 4x12-3 (they made me return to the show c’mon), 5x02, 5x06, 5x09, 5x10-13 really. 6x08. The episode number gets blurry in my head with s7 but I enjoyed the Echo-Diyozas-Blake episode, the Echoven episode, and the finale for the hilarity factor + the opposite feeling of buyers remorse it gave me.
Favourite season/book/movie: s5. Followed by s3 ‘cause a bitch loves an AI plot.
Favourite quotes: “love at first knife to throat” lives in me. Every uber romantic Memori quote does. Also every Blodreina quote.
Best musical moment: 3x01 sing-along scene. S2 had bored me so much and it felt like a breath of fresh air.
Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: everything Memori did in s5-7.
When it really disappointed you: Diyoza and Octavia should have kissed. ON THE MOUTH.
Saddest moment: Finn’s death and Raven’s reaction to it was gutting.
Most well done character death: Diyoza’s.
Favourite guest star: Josephine’s actress, she looked very pretty xD
Favourite cast member: for NON-SHALLOW REASONS, NONE WHATSOEVER- Luisa D’Oliveira.
Character you wish was still alive: Diyoza and Josephine should’ve been there on the beach for my shipping agendas.
One thing you hope really happens: n/a. But we all know Clarke will feel the need to escape to the woods, right? And there she’ll start hallucinating (or not...) Josephine........
Most shocking twist: can’t think of anything.
When did you start watching/reading?: I watched s1 as it aired, for the most part. Quit by a mix of boredom and annoyance at the show. Returned when I heard about How Dirty They Did Clarke in the s4 finale xDD
Best animal/creature: that giant alien whose butthole Clarke & co climbed through is the only one I can remember right now.......... oh thank fuck, Octavia’s poor horse xDD. Helios :((
Favourite location: Becca’s lab.
Trope you wish they would stop using: I don’t want to hear “I bear it so they don’t have to” ever again.
One thing this show/book/film does better than others: male lead swaps and controversial female characters.
Funniest moments: s5-7 Clarke was hilarious and peaked in the finale.
Couple you would like to see: Biyozaaaaaaaa.
Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: n/a.
Favourite outfit: Emori’s blue wardrobe owns me.
Favourite item: Raven’s raven necklace :’)
Do you own anything related to this show/book/film?: nooooope.
What house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: beachkru is doing alright I guess, now that Clarke left for the woods.
Most boring plotline: s2. I KNOW it’s a fan favourite. Raven had some good scenes, Murphy’s plot was more engaging. But the central stuff/how Clarke-dominant it was? Zzzzzzzz.
Most laughably bad moment: Clarke’s “u want me to be the bad guy? Fine, I’ll be the bad guy”. Ma’am.......
Best flashback/flashfoward if any: the flashbacks in “His Sister’s Keeper” were something else.
Most layered character: Murphy. King shit given where he started xDD
Most one dimensional character: Levitt? But his one dimension is “horny for Octavia” so I’m not judging too hard.
Scariest moment: can’t think of anything.
Grossest moment: did I mention the alien butthole.
Best looking male: Lincoln is objectively pretty af but I’ve grown so fond of Murphy’s owlish face....... I like ‘em a bit weird and with big noses and sharp angles guys.
Best looking female: Emori, to absolutely nobody’s surprise.
Who you’re crushing on (if any): Emori, Echo, Diyoza, Indra (there’s always at least a MILF in my crushes list).
Favourite cast moment: Adina and JR slow dancing in character get up.
Favourite transportation: the spacefam dropship.
Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): Eden was very pretty. Also that shot of the Earth on fire with Braven watching over it *chef’s kiss*
Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: again, I’m a pro at ignoring/explaining these so I rarely can think of anything lol.
Best promo: absent Bellamy in s7 promo. The way it drove the fandom wild, man. All the Bellamygates that were born of it... groundbreaking.
At what point did you fall in love with this show/book: the s4 finale is went it grabbed me to never let go.

Everybody has seemed to defer from the Memoir guy? Like I know you guy's don't want to talk about it but, this is a bit odd! Ok, not odd! Creepy! So one of the first things Memoir says to us is that the plans can be put into action. Memoir also mentioned about making contact with the outside (you's to us). So Memoir is interested with that! The plan part is concerning because what you said later on, Tsadi. That the celestials could betray you. That is probably Memoir's plan! Turn the celestials against you and break out. And probably take control. Memoir also seems to have a lot against all you elders. And that probably is also part of his plan. Memoir just said that Uber and the Elders won't tell us the matter. That you'll lie and Uber doesn't know. And I would like to know what he's talking about! Memoir said that the Elder's wish for our presence to be removed from this world? What does that mean? So then Memoir then says that he want's to break the cycle with Eden, practically no more Eden. And you's objected. THEN Memoir loses the connection slightly and says that he needs General Reshef to fix it! That's important and I want to know who that is! Then somebody called Memoir a bastard which I love by the way. And apparently Memoir likes that. HE THEN SAID THAT WE WERE MORTALS? WHAT IS HE? Then Memoir says that his lord came up with this plan of sorts! WHO WOULD HIS LORD BE??? And they seeked to be more powerful than Megabird himself. THAT'S IMPORTANT! And then Memoir said that sacrifices were needed. Then Memoir rementions how the Elders locked us in the storm. THEN SOMEBODY ASKS IF HE SERVES THE KING AND HE SAYS YES! I READ THROUGH THE CRAZY NUMBERS AND IT SAYS YES. Then the connection is lost I can't read through the last bit. But his last line is that he will make his story heard. And then the connection goes out and you guys are all afraid to tell us anything. If you want us to trust you we need to know the truth. And if you won't tell us. I'll wait till Memoir comes walking in again and I'll ask him! So here is my suggestion, lower your defenses and let Memoir in. I have questions and I want them ANSWERED! And if you can see this Memoir, I want to hear your story and I want my questions answered. Tell me, or maybe I'll do some searching around the kingdoms...
Tumblr media
Tsadi: Are you alright? Did the askers say something?
Hania: ... I don’t want to talk about it.
...
...
Hania: Alright... now that I’m far enough away...
Hania: I can’t believe I need to be the one to say this, and I can’t believe whoever raised you didn’t tell you this, but threatening people isn’t the way you get answers.
Hania: This subject is extremely sensitive to all the elders for a damn good reason! And you FREAKING FRICKS CAN’T SEEM TO GET THAT THROUGH YOUR DAMN SKULLS!
Hania: YOU FRICKS ARE GOING TO MAKE ALL THE ELDERS STOP TALKING TO YOU AND REFUSE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE!
Hania: I MANAGED TO SOMEHOW INTERCEPT THIS ASK SO THAT WOULDN’T HAPPEN!
Hania: THANK MEGABIRD FOR THAT, FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT THE ELDERS WOULD HAVE DONE!
Hania: YOU FRICKING FRICKS!
Hania: WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
Hania: WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
Hania: THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES?!

random bois + sky cotl + reader
A/N lmao no one is sending asks in so i asked the discord to chose some anime dudes and here we are. alsoif you dont knw what sky is (you most likely dont) then look it up and go play it. now.
KENMA
ha
we all know our boi is a verteran player
infact he was prob a beta player
that said youve been playing for a while as well
not as long as him ofc because he wanted to wait until the official version came out to show but like as he could he got u like all the shit
speaking of which
he buys you and shouyo like all the candles and adventure pass shit u want its fucking great
heart trades everyday
and if u need more hearts he’ll prob just find people from a unnoficial discord where u can ask for heart trades
also cr everyday
he lets u do wasteland tho cuz hoestly he sucks at avoiding krill no one knows why he just a krill magnet
he has to have home glitch ready at all times rip
plus its fun to ride those burnt ass shrimp fucks
i think he’d have all the elder hairs but mostly only wear valley elder ones
specifically yhte one with the bob
do they have names? 
whatever idk
anyway 
youre like
the ultimate uber
especially for wasteland
and eden
sometimes youll go to prairie/isle to pick up moths
and then u get to see them grow and u just feel like a proud parent hshhahsh
sometimes kenma will come with but not often cuz he hates moths
loud and annoying and clueless and opening the wasteland gate while hes still collecting the fucking wax-
so u if u want him to come u prob have to bribe him
oh yall totally have beta capes
he knows al the glitches 
sometimes when hes feeling sad you’ll just cuddle while playing sky its great
if ur an artist he will literally die for ur art
like he wont show it but he’ll always make sure to take lots of screenshots for u to draw + different outfits 
so basically playing sky with kenma would be fucking awesome
KAGEYAMA
hh ok so
you def started playing first 
you began like right before season of rythym
and he began right before enchantment
poor boi is so confused
has literally no idea how to play
you have to force him through gw and eden like he wont admit it but hes terrified
i mean
this bitch shrimp fuck keeps making him lose stars and wierd littles rocks keep knocking him over hhnnggng
poor boi
you have to help him through everything
as soon as u stop laughing
u hoestly cant help it bitch didnt know which way to go at the beging of isle even tho there was a fucking path right in front of him
hes so stupid we love him
honestly he didnt play much until u started forcing him to come with u on crs 
now he’s kinda obsessed with getting a shit ton of candles
Does Not Like Vault
he doesnt know why he just Doesn’t Like it
sometimes volleyball interferes with cr and ofc volleyball takes prority so u just sit there with his phone next to u and just reatach him when u need to
oh and u both have adventure passes
somtimes after a stressful day or smth u both just head to sanctuary and just chill there
like you’ll be messing with the crabs or smth and kags is hopping on the jellyfish
kags rlly wants forest hair
it just,, looks so cool
the ony elder hair u have is gw
but u jus need like 20 more hearts for valley
honestly its pretty sweet playing with kags he just calms down so much
except in gw and eden but we don’t talk abt that
A/N should i do more? i feel like i should do more but idk who

He brings her up to the rooftop, they become exclusive, and they have a steamy make-out session
Aaron sings karaoke with @davieslandon and chases him around the club when he pulls his pants down on stage
Aaron stops to catch his breathe and threatens to kill @allisterjacksonn if he ever hurts @ellicfm
Aaron ditches Landon to catch his breathe and some fresh air up on the rooftop when he sees @romanbeckett
Aaron and Roman express to each other that they have deep feelings for each other. Aaron tells Roman that he also likes Eden, but doesn’t tell him that they are exclusive. Roman leaves the rooftop with his head hung and Aaron opens his mouth to beg Roman to stay but nothing comes out.
Aaron plays truth or drink and gets hammered with @lillxcy and Landon at Table 1. Landon/Aaron and Lucy/Landon get into a bit of a spat, but Landon gives Roman and Aaron his blessing. Aaron walks out before they start fighting more and promises to text Landon when he’s sober. 
Aaron meets up with Ellie in the blue bar where Aaron admits to Ellie that he’s in love with Roman. Ellie encourages Aaron to tell Roman, knowing that he feels the same about him. 
Aaron sees Roman in the green bar. They both tell each other that they love each other, but agree that they can’t be together. They share one last goodbye kiss before Aaron calls Roman an Uber to get him home safely. 
Aaron is still reeling from his conversation with Roman when he sees @theharrykingston. He purposely starts an argument with him about leaving Landon because he is in such a bad mood. 
Aaron meets back up with Eden and heads home for the night.
