Profiling the Creeps as Someone Who Works in the Service Industry

Basically, as someone who (unfortunately) has been cursed with a job in fast food, here are some things I think the creeps would do. Some of these things piss me off, some are just habits - not good, not bad.

Brian

Pulls through the drive-thru and asks for "his usual".

Always pays in exact change.

Always asks for fresh (insert item with long fry time). He will wait. No, he won't pull around.

Will always do those little surveys on the receipt.

Tim

Has tipped with a cigarette on more than one occasion.

"That'll do me."

"I remember when these were 97 cents!"

The card reader is beeping and he doesn't know where he is.

Toby

Tries to redeem a coupon that expired ten years ago.

Wants to use tap to pay but his car is way too far and he won't help reach the card reader so you just pull that cord as far as you can and hope for the best.

Will ask you what comes in each item in detail just to get the most basic item on the menu.

Paid in 15 counterfeit 1-dollar bills.

Jeff

"Hi, how are you?"

"Give me a number 8."

Asshole.

He wants to leave as much as you want him to.

Does not utter a word at the drive-thru window.

Jack

Refuses to get a drink with ice because mold, unless it's a cafe he can trust.

Orders enough food to send the entire kitchen into a panic.

The type of person to ask for 10 add-shots in their latte.

Insert chain-related joke you've heard eight times today.

Liu

Prefers to sit in the lobby rather than going through drive-thru.

Cannot figure out how to use the kiosk, but he's trying so hard :(.

Always uses his pleases and thank you's because he's a good man.

Demands a receipt.

Nina

Calls you babe the entire time.

Is talking on her phone and no, she won't hang up.

Thinks all coffee shops are like Starbucks and will ask you for an iced caramel macchiato or a Frappuccino.

Just doesn't understand coffee drinks in general, but if you can figure out her taste/order she will tip heavily.

Jane

Way too stressed to be here and not really listening.

Forgets to take that thing she hates off of her food but is too embarrassed to say anything about it.

Pulls her car into the parking lot and eats there because she can't trust herself to eat and drive.

Always asks for way too many extra sauce packets.

Ben

"I'll take a large diet."

"Alright a diet Pepsi :)"

"No, coke"

:(

Takes all of your napkins.

#creepypasta headcanon #creepypasta #marble hornets headcanons #marble hornets #masky headcanons #marble hornets hoodie #jeff the killer #creepypasta headcanons #nina the killer #jane the killer #creepypasta ben drowned #ticci toby #homicidal liu headcanons #eyeless jack #customer service #please dont let this flop lmao

What NCT's cum taste like.

Taeil: Grass, you know the way fresh cut grass smells on a summer day. Yeah it tastes like that.

Johnny: Battery acid, straight battery acid. Will actually sting your lips. Do not swallow for your own well being.

Taeyong: Straight sugar, it skips right past tasting salty to tasting like sugar, specifically powdered sugar.

Yuta: Cocaine, he doesn't even do cocaine but like it just tastes like a hard drug. Do not go back for more.

Kun: Lemon San Pellegrino, extremely hydrated close to having no taste but he likes his fancy water.

Doyoung: You know the way a doctor's office smells, just extremely clean and sterile with a hint of the older doctor's cologne, Yeah that's what it tastes like.

Ten: Tropical fruit punch, he drunk his pineapple juice he knows what to do.

Jaehyun: Battery Acid part two, but it burns the back of your throat and your coughing for air and you want to smack him for asking you to swallow that.

Winwin: Nothing with a hint of blueberry and menthol, hydrated but not enough, you can still taste his habits.

Jungwoo: Candy, jolly ranchers, starbursts, Skittles, blow pops, he's more high fructose corn syrup than man.

Mark: watermelon and hot pockets, no explanation needed.

Xiaojun: Mint, just like straight peppermint oil, it's like you gave a candy cane a blow job

Hendery: Fresh homemade lasagna, and he says it's me Mario when he climax's

Renjun: Sparkling water, lemons, berries, beauty and talent. You should thank him for it.

Jeno: Cheese, specifically canned cheese and flat diet Pepsi.

Haechan: Sour patch kids, need I say more.

Jaemin: Straight black coffee.

Yangyang: Monster, Red Bull, and a blue raspberry vape

Chenle: Hot unfiltered tap water, it's literally boiling hot, call a doctor.

Jisung: Balloons, cause he's still wearing the condom and is afraid to take it off.

WW STREAM HIGHLIGHTS:

ICID isn't Wills official final album, it might be, it might not be, he has no official plans

joe nuts

he isn't going on hiatus cause he feels his work is finished or he's "happy", he's leaving for his mental health, no one should be worried, and he's excited but it's not because he feels "his work is done"

ICIMI isn't his "i feel better" album, he was at an extreme low, not the same as his older albums, but very not well

he is a taken man

he doesn't hate his old music, sometimes complicated feelings, but he doesn't hate it

mental wellness doesn't sound like baritone uke, progress isn't linear, his old work sounds like that cause he's chose to, also he doesn't promise he won't ever do that style again, he may

he's a fluid, non-static being, his opinions can change overtime instead of staying as the last thing he said publicly

he never wanted to go viral and he didn't want to tell people what to do but he ideally doesn't/didn't want his stuff on TikTok (don't fight)

his opinions aren't "your Dad saying 'put your phone down at the dinner table'" or that the internet is fully bad. his opinion is it's capitlistic and corporations are manipulative

people took his "breakdown" in the Meatlocker video too seriously, it was all a bit

people take a lot of his work too seriously, it has meaning but it's not always as serious people take it (example being SDRR)

people took his Wednesday rant too seriously (but also grr Wednesday)

he has a very dry humor

tumblr is nice :)

he's not making references to songs, except three of his official discography, riff in Vampire Culture is "just a chromatic walkdown" not a 6up5oh reference

marsha thankk you totally isn't a typo from a different tshirt he was trying to sell

wooper is his favorite pokemon (he asked his partner lol)

cover songs good, if someone tells you otherwise, eat them.

he shaved his head so people would stop being into him (also cause he was sick of people being gross to him)

he has no problem with people dressing up as him at shows, it's not a trigger, he didn't dress that way cause he was ill, he just liked it

he knows he's cute :)

you can call him handsome/cute, it's nothing to him, just don't be nasty (also he has a partner)

there are no toxic will wood fans, fan culture is bad sometimes, all "fandoms", especially online, have their bad people, like everything

don't believe everything you hear on the internet, people lie for all sorts of reasons, including industry competition, or the story is better (it being his "feeling better" album) telephone is real (also the entire stream was basically dedicated to clearing misinformation, etc.)

he doesn't want people to fight

favorite meme is: what the sneef, im snorfing here

he knows who Jerma is, says he's a fascinating man

attempted to say something in Spanish about having a disembodied head in his hands and eating it

he has a birthday

he likes diet pepsi more than coke

this isn't super comprehensive, i started typing this up late! if anyone has any i missed feel free to let me know 🍄

#mementos #will wood #wwattw #wwatt #will wood & the tapeworms #will wood and the tapeworms #posting this for now cause theres so much

Part 4

"Come in. Make yourself at home. Want a beer?"

Evan walks in behind me "Should I take my shoes off?"

"Only if you want to" I call from the kitchen.

Evan walks into the kitchen. I have the fridge open "I have bud light or I have some crafty shit. Or I have wine, water, soda" I step away from the opening of the fridge as if to say have a look for yourself.

He takes the door and bends over looking at what I have. I put my keys and purse on the table. I ask him to grab me a diet Pepsi while he's in there please.

He hands me a diet and he's holding an IPA in the other hand.

"I hate beer. I usually end up accumulating whatever my friends leave behind. So have anything you want. I'm a "go in my fridge* kind of person so help yourself."

"Aww thank you" Evan smiles at me.

Evan pulls a chair out at my dining table and sits. I follow suit. I take my shoes off and drop them on the floor and then sit crosslegged in my seat.

I catch him staring at me. "You seem pretty laid back. Kinda my vibe too" he says.

"I'd like to think I am. I get kinda flustered with myself sometimes. I'm like hard on myself. But like I said I don't offend easily. I love dark or crude humor. Did you ever watch that show Bones?..."

"Oh yea..."

" I can watch that shit while I'm eating. I'm not queasy about much. I listen to metal..."

"When it's a mood or just in general?"

"No, just in general" I laugh. Evan chuckles

"I wouldn't guess that about you" Evan looks amused.

"I get that a lot. My bubbly personality is as real as it can get. I definitely have never been fake. I can't stand that about people. So, maybe that's why people are surprised I have an edgier side than what they see."

Evan's eyes get soft and a little darker. "I could get used to that about you, for sure." He says. His voice is low and soft.

"Well, what about you. What would surprise me?"

"Well, I've played the guitar and piano since I was a kid. I like to sing. Love karaoke"

"Oh I love karaoke too. We should go sometime. Love that you play guitar. That's kinda hot" I say it in a joking way, but I'm completely serious. "You obviously are very talented in many ways"

He gives me a shy laugh. He shivers.

"I have a heated blanket on my couch. Want to find something on TV?" I ask.

We walk into the living room

"You have your house set up beautifully" Evan compliments me.

"Oh thanks. I have done a lot of decorating"

He sits on the couch and I grab the blanket and plug it in. Then I spread it out and get on the couch and cover us with it. "I will set the heat on light. If you don't warm up let me know"

I end up sitting close to him. He doesn't mind. In fact he puts his arm around me and I lay my head on his shoulder.

"Can I ask you something?" I say to him

"What?"

"Would it be weird to turn Dahmer on? You have me intrigued. If it's uncomfortable for you just say no. I will understand."

He thinks for a long minute. I'm about to tell him it's ok when he speaks. "Sure. If I can tell you if it's too much."

"Oh, of course. Just tell me."

I turn it on. As we watch I am glued to the TV. I'm on the edge of my seat through the first episode. When they show the head in the fridge I gasp and say that's so fucked up and grab his knee. He laughs. When the episode ends I turn it off. I turn to him.

"Holy shit, Evan. No wonder you won a freaking Golden Globe. You're amazing. That's only the first episode." I sit back staring into space.

I know he's staring at me because I can feel his breath on my hair.

"Thanks" he suddenly speaks.

When I turn to him he kisses me softly. I pull back and smile.

"Let's see what's on. Tell me if you see anything you want to watch" I say.

We settle on a game show. Some fluff that we are only half watching. We resume our position on the couch. My head on his shoulder. The sexual tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I wonder if he feels it too.

I can hear his heart beating fast. He puts his hand on mine. I lift my face to his neck and I can smell his cologne. It's intoxicating.

"You smell good" I whisper in his ear. I run my nose up his neck and I nibble on his ear. He lets out a soft whimper. "Is this ok?" I whisper. He nods his head yes. I kiss behind his ear and then his jawline and then down his neck. He lets out a small grunt and his leg shifts. With the blanket still on us I touch his leg and as I'm kissing on his neck, my hand keeps climbing higher up his thigh. I feel his heart pace quicken. It's beating hard and I can see it through his shirt.

My hand finds his erection through his jeans and I palm it with my hand and gently squeeze. This produces a sharp sigh. Before I go further I whisper "you can tell me to stop" and he replies "please don't"

I lay my head back on his shoulder and my hand finds his button and zipper as I undo his jeans. I tuck my hand in the band of his boxers and I find his erection with my bare hand. Skin to skin. He groans. Then he shimmies down a bit to give me better access. I rub a few times and he moves to pull his jeans down. He leaves his boxers on.

I start kissing on his jaw again. Making my way towards his neck. My hand is rubbing his penis through the fabric of his boxers. He sighs. He's looking straight ahead, but I can see his eyes close. His head tilts back as I reach inside his boxers again. This time I start gently rubbing on the tip of his penis. Precum coating my fingers. I wrap my hand around his shaft and start tugging. His body stiffens slightly and he groans. "Feel good?" I ask and he nods again.

"Relax, evan. You can have anything you want" I say

"Faster" is all he replies. So my hand goes faster. "Ooohh that's the stuff" he says breathless.

I change it up a bit and this time I take my fingertips and place them on the spot below the head and my thumb in the back and I start rubbing that spot in circles. Slow then quickly. Slow again then quickly. I repeat this pattern until his legs start getting shifty.

"Tell me what you need, Evan" I whisper in his ear.

"Just like that. Please." He whispers back.

He turns his head towards me and I sit up to meet our foreheads. I keep the pattern fast then quick. Fast then quick. He's pressing his head against mine. His breathing increases. His curls are soft. I want to cuddle him.

"Please. It's almost there" when he speaks his voice is gritty and lustful. "Fast. Just fast. Please, baby"

I start to rub the spot as fast as I can. He throws the blanket off of us. His hard purple cock in my hand. The tip is wide. He's about to blow. His groans start building. Soft to loud and then he explodes. He presses his forehead to mine again as he screams my name. I can feel his cum hitting my hand. His breath smells sweet. His forehead sweaty. His scent is still intoxicating to me. When he finishes he has a hard time catching his breath. I move my head to pepper his forehead with soft kisses. I tell him to hold on and I run to the hallway bathroom and grab a hand towel. I came back and help him clean up. He takes my hand and wipes it with the towel.

"I'm sorry for the mess" he says. His eyes are sleepy

"Hey, baby. Don't be sorry. I made it too." And kiss his cheek.

He lays his head back on my couch "I can't move" he says.

"You don't have to go anywhere until you're ready. Just relax sweetheart." I help him with his pants and when he seems comfortable again, I cover us back up.

"Let's do karaoke tomorrow night" he says as his eyes close. We fall asleep in each other's arms.

Ohh Barmey and Freeminds favorite drinks/coffee orders and stuff?

Barmey's favorite drinks;

-Likes basically any beer but tbh his favorites are always the cheapest ones you can find

-As for normal alcohol he likes Whiskey but not that much. He thinks red wine is bad. he will drink it but he will complain abt it the entire time

-He doesn't drink that much coffee but when he does it's whatever is lying around + sugar + any creamer but his Top Fave mix is Whatever coffee freemind has in his apartment + 5 spoonfuls of sugar + fruity pebbles creamer.

-As for soda he likes mtn dew/coke/cream soda/rootbeer but he thinks pepsi sucks and he hates dr pepper. He can drink diet sodas but doesn't always go for them.

-Despite seeming like he would he doesn't enjoy energy drinks that much

-He loves hot cocoa of any kind usually store bought however Freemind prides himself on making the best hot chocolate you've ever seen so by default that's Barmey's favorite bc it's special for him

-Barmey isn't very picky when it comes to juice or water or anything but he does love a gatorade sometimes or bug juice (but they changed their ingredients so he's got a bit of grudge) and surprisingly he's kind of better at drinking water than you'd think

-creates the worst drinks youve ever seen out of pure boredom. Sometimes they're good sometimes they're very very bad. Up to you to decide what these could be

Freemind's favorite drinks;

-Favorite alcohol is Bourbon but he likes basically all alcohol- he drinks beer but doesn't love it. just drinks it if it's available as the only drink in the area.

-Claims to drink the normal amount of water he needs (lie he will become dehydrated before he has a cup of water. Kind of on accident though) however cannot shake the animalistic feeling of wanting to take a sip out of the sink. CAN shake the animalistic feeling of wanting to drink out of random bodies of water but. he still feels that urge

-He will drink any coffee you give to him including black coffee HOWEVER his favorite coffee's is secretly the most complicated things you could get at a coffee place. He's got 100 shots of espresso whip cream caramel chocolate vanilla strawberry flavored x 10 the sweetest coffee you've ever seen with a price tag of 40$'s bc there's so much shit in it and the cup is bigger than his entire head. but he pretends that's not true bc he's got masculinity issues

-Had a phase in college where he drank only alcohol and monster energy drinks for a solid 3 months. He doesn't even get caffeine effects so there's no reason for him to be drinking them but He can still drink energy drinks and sometimes he same drinks them for months dangerously.

-Soda wise he doesn't really have any strong feelings abt soda. His favorite is Fanta Pineapple soda though. He can drink basically every soda u hand to him EXCEPT for Diet bc he hates the aftertaste. He enjoys most fruit flavored sodas though.

-Will drink Gatorade or powerade or whatever but doesn't necessarily LOVE them. Same thing with most juice

-Smoothies/Milkshakes are also some of his favorite drinks it makes him nostalgic bc his mom makes a lot of alcoholic smoothies and he loves making them his favorite flavor of shake is banana most of the time. he doesn't drink them that often but he does like them

-He prefers strawberry milk to chocolate milk but can drink either. Sometimes he uses hershey's caramel syrup in his milk as well. Can't drink milk straight from the bottle anymore bc one time in college he was dared to drink a whole gallon of milk and he threw up so bad that it makes him sick now.

#sorry for the bolding i went 'this might be easier for toher adhd folks to read this way' but i dont actually know if that's even true #freemind #freemans mind #freeman's mind #barney's mind #barneys mind #barmey #pile of bones #headcanons #drinks #alcohol #long post #?#also sorry for how long it is for such a simple question

The difference between Diet Coke and Pepsi is that Pepsi has everything an immortal could want but feels as though he doesn't deserve it and inflicts his own punishment on himself. Diet Coke has everything an immortal fears and thinks of it as a reward.

But moreso, Pepsi views his immortal and monstrous soul as a punishment. Diet Coke views his own immortal monstrosity as a blessing from the ocean. It's actually flipped but both of them are far too fucked up to view it as such.

My friend gave me this two months ago so I could hear the commentaries but I only just am listening to them now

The Rosey Grier Needlepoint for Men insert is the best visual reference in the season and why I finally busted out this DVD (to take a screencap for a friend who brought it up in conversation)

even the interior pages in the reverse angle? too much!

What can I learn from these commentaries and how can I use this canonical information? Let's semi-live blog...

Season 7 redesigned Billy is so ugly. I hate it... but he looks OK in some shots because the animators can't keep him consistent looking.

I'm glad the commentary calls out the very Robert Ludlum-y title construction theme they had most of the season.

--

Billy calls himself a neurogeneticist in Curse of the Haunted Problem (S07E01) which he hasn't since Are You There God? (S01E09). Where's this neurogeneticisizing happening, huh? Off camera? When do you have the time? Billy, admit you're a part-time surgeon AT BEST.

In (S07E03) Arrears in Science, Jonashead also calls Billy a neurogeneticist while requesting Billy perform surgery. Which a surgeon does, not a geneticist.

Commentary: "White, perpetual victim" "He hides during violent scenes. He's always hiding behind things." There was a scene cut that would have explained his decline into a sweaty wifebeater axe-wielding state. Jackson calls Pete's outfit a "Milli Vanilli jacket." Pete doesn't do much of anything else for the rest of the season.

Despite being the focus of The Bellicose Proxy (S07E06), neither Billy nor White have very many lines in it.

The rooftop tennis court where St. Cloud rehearses with Monarch/21— I remember seeing it from NY classroom windows but according to Doc H's commentary, it's been demolished since the episode came out

That red paintball paint would permanently stain White's jacket. Missed opportunity that it wasn't stained through the rest of the episode but it sounds this episode was a nightmare to animate as is.

Billy is way too small inside the Delta Boy/Diet Pepsi space suit. He loses like a foot of height. Was it intentional? (His height & head size is all over the place in these episodes.)

Commentary: Somewhere, there's audio a very long riff of the two ad-libbing as White/Billy describing their imagined beat down of St. Cloud. And 30 minutes of Billy riffing inside the cloud of laughing gas which Doc argued would be a great episode, even with no animation on screen. (I agree, but I'm an outlier.)

Commentary: I hadn't picked up that Killer Drone was supposed to look like a '60s Japanese sentai hero/villain, according to Doc H. (Like that would fight Ultraman or Kamen Rider, I guess.) but I see it.

Commentary: Neither of them knew the name of the Grumman Moon Suit but "The one from Life Magazine," is a pretty accurate epithet.

They didn't know the name of the Avrocar either. (The real Moon Suit prototype was 8 feet tall! A big-ass Diet Pepsi!)

---

The Forecast Manufacturer (S07E09) has too much shitting information in it. (I don't need this kind of canon, guys.)

Coffee gives Billy diarrhea. Already used that "fun fact" in this chapter.

Billy went to summer camp (where he couldn't shit) at some point.

Billy needs to read to have a shit (don't want to know this.)

What does he have to do? Bleed for you? His rectum is probably bleeding right now. (ugh)

Rusty: "Do you shave your chest?" line strikes me as coming out of nowhere. Even though Billy has stripped off in loads of episodes, this is the first time he's kickin' it underpants-only-style in front of Rusty. (Nice soft-edged blush on Billy's face here. He's less ugly in-episode than on his model sheet for this episode.)

Commentary: Jackson mentions Billy painting the rest of his arm to look like a full robot. Doc describes Billy having a latex hand cover he doesn't wear because it makes his hand look too big and bloated (I wrote Billy testing a synthetic hand cover in future chapter, now have to rewrite it so it doesn't seem like a ripoff)

The Inamorata Consequence (S07E05)

"White, perpetual victim" "He hides during violent scenes. He's always hiding behind things."

Helper kicked Billy into the pool and Hank filmed it with his watch.

None of these other episodes have Billy or White so I've lost interest.

also what is each teens favourite type of coke…like if they had 2 choose between cocacola; pepsi; dr.pepper? maybe 1 would choose an off brand coke instead?🤨

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH,,,,,,,

betty rlly loves anything strawberry-flavored! they r her fav berry and fruit and she loves it when it's in anything

jules rlly likes coke! though she uses it as a replacement of some sort, she'd rather chug energy drinks but her uncle doesn't want her to drink it and forbids her from it (he's a doctor and works in the healthcare and doesnt want her to drink that chemical junk)

cass loves the more refreshing ones! like lemons and limes are her fav so they r perfect for her and she likes to drink it after a training or a game

harper is weird and she likes tonic water. the rest hates it but hey. at least she won't get her drink stolen lmfao

for paul, i'm still researching so i can portray him accurately, he's actually a type 1 diabetic and he doesn't drink much soda, since it raises his glucose which he obv doesnt want to happen. but he rlly likes vegetable juice, like tomato juice :]

graham's fav is defo coke as well, though he prefers the diet/no sugar one, it just tastes better for him

and zach rarely drinks soda; for the fact he's a pirate and he's more used to drinking juice or other beverages, but he likes the taste of dr pepper :]

#tysm for asking morm!!! it was so so fun #phantom answers

5+6. the tentacle beast / the monster's hide

The walkways are with rain again, the drizzle reducing the limited visibility yet further as twilight slowly encroaches. Even before the sunset, the world out here had been hazy. Not that there'd really been anything to look at: There's nothing out here but the still ocean stretching out in every direction around the floating research platform.

Officially, the station Rhys is manning alone is Seapoint Piscium Delta. He likes to call her Fishfood Four instead. He's made it to week nine of a six month placement - by the end of week one, he'd already understood why they'd been reluctant to schedule him for even that much on his first posting. Sure, he gets to video call the team whenever he wants, but at the end of the night when they all go home? He's still out here in his flotel.

On the other hand, the pay is really good. If he can stick it out without losing his mind, he's looking at a hefty sum at the end. And he doesn't have to pay rent out here either. Plus he doesn't have to deal with the fallout of how things went with Jess. So like, that's a perk!

He checks the door for the lab is firmly shut, rattling the large door-locking circle on the bulkhead door to make sure it's fully in place. It's his last wind-down task before retreating back to his room again. The whole place is pretty much fully automated, but the doors aren't part of that. It's what he's there for. Somebody has to oversee everything just in case it goes wrong, you know? Plus doing the actual analysis on what the sensors feed back.

Last stop is the drone room. The repair and maintenance room takes up nearly as much space as the lab does, but it's also pulling double duty as the power room so it kind of makes sense. Not like the drones themselves need all this room. All they do is just slowly rise and sink through the ocean, sending regular little updates to tell them about the ocean. Things like how temperature it is, what the pH level and salinity is like, what's going on with the currents, the odd sample from the sea bed if the pre-programmed route takes them down that far - all the things that help them work out what's been going on out here lately. He pauses as he tests the door. It's not resisting as much as it should.

He pushes the hatch open anyway, stepping through into the dark room. The lights are off, which is how it should be, but he didn't - It's not like him to shut everything down but forget something like the door lock.

....Fuck it. It's not like anybody else will know if he doesn't say anything, right? And he caught it. No harm, no foul. That's what the double-check is for. He seals the hatch, twisting the ring around firmly and listening to the bolts all sliding home. He can investigate the door lock tomorrow when he's officially clocked in again.

Rhys carries on along his way, wiping the rain off his face before he shimmies up the ladder that takes him back to his living quarters. He makes a point of wiping his feet off at the welcome mat he asked for. There's enough ocean around here already without him bringing it in here with him as well. His nose wrinkles as he shucks the lab coat and drops it off on it's hook, hand reaching for the pull-cord for the light.

"God," he says, "It reeks in here. Did I leave a window open or something? Come on Rhys. Get it the fuck together, mate."

The delivery of fresh food isn't coming for another week, so it's another night of deciding between mash potato from a powder mix or tinned soup. He finally finds the pull-cord, blinking at the bright sudden light. Something is making the back of his neck prickle like he's being watched. The smell is, somehow, even worse now. His eye darts around the room to try and figure it out-

His eyes land on the table crammed into the kitchen, a can of diet pepsi knocked over on it from where he'd left it there that morning. The dark brown carbonation is still fizzing gently even as it drips down onto the linoleum flooring.

There's been no wind today. Barely any tides. Fishfood's been stable all day. Something primal in his brain screams at him, and it drives Rhys to slowly turn around. He's the only one here, but he's not. He's really, really not.

The wall moves.

He screams as he throws himself back, legs failing to catch or support him as his eyes move up and up and up. Up along the tentacle that is rapidly changing colour to stop mimicing the white of his walls, up along the torso of the thing clinging to the ceiling, up and into the large yellow eyes of something that is baring teeth at him. He scrambles across the floor before instinct kicks in and has him roll over to push himself up and back onto his feet and away away AWAY from the fucking octopus monster that is dropping down and coming after him.

Somehow, he makes it to the bedroom door first and slams it shut behind him, leaning against it as something on the other side roars. Fumbling hands shove the lock bolt into place as it begins hammering on the door.

"Oh my god," he chokes, legs going weak again. "Oh my god."

It - did it have claws? He doesn't think so. The hammering on the wood tapers off, and he wheezes in fear as his heart keeps up the rhythm. Wide eyes tear across the room as Rhys looks for something - anything, God, please - that isn't nailed to the floor or the wall to make sure it can't get capsised overnight. Nothing. Nothing to barracade with. Behind him, the doorknob rattles but the lock holds. He holds his breath until it stops again. The window is too small and can't open more than an inch, and this is the only door. There has to be something. Some way out. Surely there must be-

Something brushes his ankle and he jumps out of his skin as he pushes off from the door and falls a second time. He looks down at the tentacle slowly pushing its way through the gap at the bottom of the door. It - it's too small. It can't figure out the door, and now it must be trying to see if it can get under. It's too big though, surely. Surely.

Rhys watches, frozen in place as the tentacle pushes through further and further, the strange muscle twisting and unfurling as it works its way through the gap. It takes all his effort to scoot back further until his back is up against the side of the bed, legs tucked as close as they can be to his body. The tentacle continues to feel around blindly for him, and he watches. Maybe he can just - just wait it out. Wait for it to decide he isn't worth the effort.

He whimpers as the tentacle instead starts to slowly feel its way up the door.

"No," he says, his fingers going numb as he watches. "Fucking no, please, stop it."

Everything is silent. He cannot move. There is no escape. He can only watch. The tentacle keeps going, impossibly still coming. He watches as it reaches up. Slowly, almost tauntingly, it reaches the slide lock where it sits, just below the handle, and pulls it out of the way before dropping to the floor.

The door swings open, revealing the large hand pushing it and the larger yet figure behind it, a man down to the waist and then all octopus limbs below that, and Rhys once again finds his eyes dragged unstoppably upwards towards its face. The light in the living room backlights it, enough that he just about see it. It's smirking at him, mocking and cruel, and it slowly ducks its head as it pushes its way into the corner he's trapped himself in.

It's just Rhys, the ocean, and the monster pushing the door shut behind it again.

#monsterous may #monsterousmay #my writing #what if a mermaid decided you were a free lunch in a cool lunchbox #and you are in the middle of the ocean about it

1, 20, 30 & 35 for the weird asks (:

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

I've already answered this one here but i will admit to more: Mark Stone or Jack Eichel? Just seeing their faces just makes my heart go "oh, yeah. ok. everything can't be *that* bad."

20. do you say soda or pop?

ha, fun story: technically neither. I grew up in a family that moved a lot between North Carolina and Kentucky, and I think that's where we picked up calling everything "coke." in our defense: that was the main carbonated drink fare in our family. But it was not a one off / or strange to hear conversation for someone to ask "you want a coke?" "Yeah, get me a pepsi / dr pepper / sprite." It's still my go to, even though the *only* carbonated drink I will drink now is Sprite. (everything else gives me a headache or I don't like.)

I also grew up in a family where knowing someone's preferences was a sign of intimacy. For instance, if I was talking to my brother "hey, you want a coke" when he was a teen he'd have preferred dr pepper or pepsi, but now he'd want a diet coke. My aunt has always and will probably always drink diet coke. My mom leans towards coke more than pepsi, but sometimes she wants rootbeer or an RC. My dad was always diet dr pepper. So the question of "you want a coke" could be answered simply with "yeah" and you would get whatever your actual preference was, regardless that I asked if you wanted a "coke."

It may also stem from the fact that we had lots of other non-carbonated soda options that were also on offer: tea, lemonade, water, milk, juice. If we had it, it was on open offer, so "Do you want a coke?" "Nah, but I'd like a glass of tea." was also pretty common.

Now, however, I live with someone who doesn't like regular Coke at all, and on top of that, can't drink it (He's diabetic). So if I'm talking to him, I ask "Do you want a soda?"

So, I guess on the soda/pop debate I fall on the "soda" side, even though I've trained myself into it & still default to "can you get me a coke" even though what i actually want is sprite.

30. is there dishes in your room?

Yes - for some reason, I can't go to sleep without a glass of ice water on my bedside table. I have to take medicine right before I go to bed, and I like having water available for that. So there's like. 2 cups on my bedside table. I don't have any other dishes because I don't eat in my bedroom that often.

35. what’s your timezone?

I'm in Central, the same as Nashville / Chicago. :)

question list

ask me

#ask meme #:))))) thank youuuu this was fun!

Little shifts, big impacts

This is why I started this Tumblr. I want to post daily about the things I'm doing both for myself and for others who are trying to do the same thing. But I don't want to swamp my blog with them, hence a Tumblr.

It's interesting to stop and notice the differences already happening in my life. I haven't done any replacing of anything with plant-based items yet. I'm just trying to use what I do have here already better. Granted, I did go buy peanuts the other day but that's more because I really wanted peanut butter for my apples.

Actually, no. I'm not going to dismiss that. That was a purchase I made to support this journey. I had bought the apples before deciding to make this shift. Having the option to put peanut butter on them makes them more appealing.

It's little things like that which I'm noticing. It's little things like that which make this shift a little easier. It's not that I'm adding new things into my diet. It's that I'm making choices that are less processed and plant-based.

For example, the last couple of days I've been choosing to have an apple in the afternoon. It sounds good. While I am still having turkey and cheese and mayo on my sandwiches, I'm choosing less processed foods and less sugary foods outside of meals. I'm drinking more water and less Pepsi. Granted, I usually had 1 Pepsi a day with dinner, but I haven't felt like having one lately.

And it's not that I'm not allowing myself to have one if I want it. It's that I don't want it. I think that's the important thing for me to keep in mind during all of this. It's not about denying things. It's about trying to go for those plant-based options.

I really am looking forward to finding plant-based options to replace the cheese and turkey in my sandwiches; trying out different recipes for lunch when I'm home; increasing the plant-based foods for dinners that I share with my husband. He has said before he really doesn't want to give up his meat or his cheese or other animal products. I'm not going to make him. But I can try to increase the plants on our plates and reduce the processed foods there at the same time.

I'll be honest, I'm probably never going to go vegan. But I think I can do plant-based.

puppy dog eyes. | eren j.

honey's notes: I like to think that Eren is a big dog person, and I had a dream about this fic and I had to write it. I also used to have a dog, his name was milo and he was absolutely adorable.

summary: a new puppy widens your family, Eren never had a problem until he saw you giving every ounce of your attention to your pup! He's got competition and he doesn't like it.

female reader.

theme: fluff.

TW; eren being jelly, swearing, talking abt a baby.

recommended song: oops - Little Mix, Charlie Puth.

"Reader! Let's get this one!" Eren crouched in front of a small german shepherd pup as it scratched the glass dividing them from each other. "Look! He really wants to go home with us! Pretty please, Reader??" Eren looked up at your figure, who was getting a kick out of seeing him beg.

"You're absolutely sure, you want," You stopped to look at the documents taped on the front of the glass, "Milo? is his name." Eren nodded as he put his finger on top of the glass, right on top of the puppy's paw, he looked like a kid in a candy store.

"Don't do that, Eren. You're not snow white, besides there's a sign that says don't touch the glass." You swatted his hand away as he cradled it, a small 'ow' coming from his lips. "Are we getting him or not?" The puppy whimpered and jumped up, the pup looked at you with eyes that told you to take him home.

"You- I-" you tried to object, but Eren was doing his angry frown, he really just looked like the puppy who too stared but you just sighed and nodded, turning to the employee who watched the whole ordeal. "we'll get the puppy."

Eren stood up, as he hugged you from behind, excited. "You better be the one taking him on walks, I'm on food duty." You told him, crossing your arms. "Absolutely! Thank you, baby." He hummed as he leaned in to kiss you, before you raised your hand to pat his cheek, both averting it from your face and earning a loud smack, "Don't do that in public." You jokingly sneered.

He followed the employee who helped you grab stuff for your new puppy. He could feel excitement running through his veins, it did not help that he was thinking of the future, you guys are gonna be like a family! 'This is gonna be great!' Eren thought.

This wasn't great at all! Eren huffed as he watched you pepper kisses on your puppy. It has been a few weeks since your adorable fur baby, Milo had come home with the two of you and at first Eren thought it was great, perfect even. He mentally groaned, how could've he been so dumb!

He watched as the dog took every ounce of your attention, not even sparing him a kiss or glance. Milo barked, licking back at your face as you laughed, "Who's my good boy? Is it you Milo, is it you??" You baby talked to the puppy as Eren further merged with the couch, his hands were crossed on his chest as he glared at the puppy in your arms.

You looked over at your pouting boyfriend, as you deadpanned. "nuh-uh, you better wipe that angry pout off your face, you wanted Milo. You've got no business getting mad at the poor pup." You scolded your boyfriend as he continued staring at Milo, who looked like he was taunting him.

You continued your lecture, Eren wasn't even paying attention at this point, too intimidated by the fur ball sitting a few feet in front of him. "Hey! Are you even listening?" You snapped your fingers in front of his face, as he snapped out of his staring contest with Milo and looked at you, before breaking into hysterics. "Reader! He's taking all of your attention away from me!" He fake sobbed.

"You're being a drama queen! Are you really trying to fight with a puppy? It's a puppy." You rolled your eyes as you picked up the little pup. "See! You don't carry me like that." Eren looked at you with his own special puppy eyes, "Eren, Milo is small. You're literally six feet tall, and your diet consists of cold pizza and a can of pepsi." You retorted.

Eren huffed once again. He caught Milo's gaze on him once again. "What're you looking at?" Eren asked, Milo barking in response. "Eren! Stop trying to pick a fight with Milo!" You stopped Eren from tormenting your lil pup. "I'm gonna jump you later, just watch." Eren dragged his thumb across his neck.

"Eren!" You slapped his shoulder. For the rest of the day, you had seen Eren look like a dejected puppy that was left on the streets. You thought nothing of it until you heard muffled talking in your guys' bedroom. "Listen here, Milo. I get that you're cute and all, but she's my girl." Eren was sitting on the bed, Milo at his feet as he pointed at Milo, who just barked. "I'm the alpha here." Eren pointed to himself smugly as he picked up Milo.

"I'll let you have your fun, okay? But at the end of the day, I'm the one who better be sleeping next to her, without you in the middle, got it?" He squinted. Milo didn't do anything but lick his face, sniffing it, puffs of the dog's breath against his cheek tickled him. "I'm trying to have a serious conversation, Milo come on." Eren tried pulling away from the dog's who only urged closer.

You laughed quietly, Eren somehow detecting your presence. "I'm trying to put him in his place, Reader. Stop encouraging him." Eren scolded you, putting Milo down as you walked towards him, sitting beside him on your shared bed. "Is that how you're gonna talk to our kids?" You hugged him from the side, your chin on his shoulder, looking up at him.

Eren digested your question before he jumped and tackled you on the bed, MIlo barking at the sudden movement. "Is that your saying that I can be your husband?" Eren's grin was big and he moved around like he was excited, meaning he was giddy. "Yes, I'm saying that I'd let you be the father to my kids." You laughed as he dived into your neck, giving you ticklish kisses.

"But! You gotta practice with Milo. He's technically our baby. It won't really cut if you're treating our kids as competition now, will it?" You teased as Eren nodded into your neck, leaning down to kiss your collarbones. You let a content sigh as you hugged Eren, pulling him closer to you.

Eren listened to your rhythmic breathing for a short while, raising his head to find you had fallen asleep. Milo had long climbed on the bed, waddling his way to you and Eren. Your boyfriend looked at him before raising his hand to pet the little pup.

"You're not so bad after all." He smiled.

Note

As a former gas station employee I want to offer a counter argument to the gas station purchase choices. Will doesn't and would never drink 5 Hour Energy, he would instead get the normal hot coffee and maybe add a little creamer or something in there, he is not a 5 Hour Energy guy whatsoever. Jack would probably drink 5 Hour Energy though and also Diet Pepsi, maybe a Snickers. Will has most likely eaten and enjoyed gas station breakfast pizza on his way to fish in the early morning but wouldn't eat it if anyone was around to know about it. Freddie drinks Monster energy drinks and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Abigail would get a Pop Tart and/or hot chocolate. Alana would get a cappuccino. Hannibal wouldn't even stop to piss in a gas station. I will die on this hill

I am so sorry you had to work at a gas station. I feel like it combines the worst of customer service. Gas station breakfast pizza sounds like an actual nightmare. To add, is Freddie going sugar free? She seems the type. You know, that damn blue can. Maybe the extra tall one. Does she try to be classy and get the cheetos with lime or is she straight shooting this? You are right, I forgot poptarts exist because I think I've had half of a one in my entire life and hate them. I think Alana would get a fresh cappuccino (gas stations sell those??) or ones of those cold Starbucks ones in the fridge. And you are right about Will, I just imagines 5 hour is a lot faster and he doesn't want to wait for the coffee to cool down.

#some good fucking takes my dude #antifascist-frog #also sick username #the curious clown #love how no one is getting those sus as fuck things on the hot rollers #I've never had hot gas station food because it scares me and it usually is meaty
