#it was on sale and I cant say no to such a good deal

[justprincesssarcasm]

Guys after almost 8 years I got myself a present a bought new Laptop.

Like how is it possible that the technology got so good in the past years.

Hopefully it will last me about same time. Coz I hate getting new tech when the old one is not completely destroyed

#I got Lenovo Legion 2022 with 3070ti #it was on sale and I cant say no to such a good deal

The last time we got a shot of Lucy at Whistler's door in 1x11 vs. the scene we got at the end of 2x05

1x11: The relationship's in the early uncertain stages, the scene takes place at night time, Lucy being timid and anxious because she knows that Kate doesn't like surprises and doesn't know how she'll react to her showing up out of nowhere, but still trying to seek reassurance and support, someone else opens the door and she finds out the hard way what secrets Kate's keeping, Kate tries to clarify that it isn't what it looks like, but her explainations sound more like deflections, her actions + excuses do more to protect herself rather than protect or reassure Lucy, their conversation outside the elevator seems very hushed and illicit affairs-like, Lucy worrying that Kate betrayed her because of Cara, because she wasn't honest with her, they fight and fall apart because they aren't on the same page at all and Kate messed up big time, Kate chases after her but Lucy ends up leaving heartbroken, essentially the end of whatever relationship they had

2x05: The relationship is established, it's day time, Kate is the one opening the door, fully expecting Lucy this time and all the time because Lucy's always over, Lucy doesn't tiptoe or beat around the bush she blurts out what's on her mind, Lucy worrying that Kate doesn't want her because she's making it seem impersonal and rational rather emotional and from the heart, Lucy gets the reassurance she's looking for from Kate loud and clear, of course Kate wants Lucy in her life, wants her to be close all the time and wants to share everything with her, assuring her there are no more secrets and she has nothing to hide, wants to be with Lucy all the time because she loves her, they messed up because they were trying to be considerate and didn't want to pressure the other into something they didn't want but they've really been on the same page this whole time, Lucy clarifies that they aren't fighting! just talking things out and realizing they've both been over thinking, they finally let themselves be excited and enthusiasthic about living together, they smile and kiss sweetly before Lucy walks into the apartment that's now also hers, confident and sure about where they stand and how much they love each other, a big step in growing their trust and their relationship further

#ncis hawaii #ncis hawai`i #kacy #lucy tara #kate whistler #me looking for parallels in literally anything #the contrast of Lucy leaving heartbroken vs her walking into the apartment so happy and assured is killing me #imagine being the neighbor across from kate and trying to leave your apartment but you cant #because you always time your errands at the exact same time as your lesbian neighbors doorway/hallway shenanigans #kate being confused the entire conversation was so funny shes still looking around and processing when she asks if Lucy's moving in #and their smiles and the looks of sincere affection wow i love acting #they are truly idiots in love this was so romcom of them #even kate messing with lucy by saying financially responsible decision at the end was so cute #real talk do we think lucy ever does that to jokingly flirt with kate like im sure shes tired of hearing it after this ep but #do you think shes like babe i got these groceries on sale or i got a good deal on this air fryer does that turn you on #they really have so much goofy and crack potential LMAO #let no one ever again say lucy never lets Whistler talk bc she got all her words in this time! #progress!

Really trying to get better at buying things on sale and with coupons but I have almost zero idea how much these things cost when compared to other things and I just can not retain this knowledge no matter how hard I try rip

#like i can compare when theyre shelved next to each other in the store but after that nothing #even people commenting about prices of things in convo i cant tell if theyre saying its a good or bad price rip #why cant i just trust that a coupon or sale is gonna net me the best deal and go on from there #liek obvs i know a lot of place raise prices before sales but im talking like every day items where thats harder (? i think) to do that reg #the only prices ive somewhat retained are things i regularly buy by themselves which isnt actually much #like i know water bottles at cons or other Events are $3 and at little craft shows or city festivals theyre like $1 but i dont know much #between and then redbull at gas stations is like 2.75 #and i sorta know the price for the little toys i buy but even then theres so many now and they used to be like $5 so even though i know #theyre more i still get a bit of a surprise sometimes when i blindly grab them #and yes i know this makes me sound snotty and privileged and that i am/have been very privileged to not Have to know this info #dont mind me #tag rambles

back off!↷*‧₊˚ p.sh

requested by nonnie, hope you’re okay :c

SUMMARY ! after wandering off at the grocery store, sunghoon is less than pleased to find some stranger trying to ask you out on a date. but no need to worry, he’s ready to put the guy in his place!

PAIRING ! sunghoon x fem!reader

WC ! 1.1k

GENRE ! fluff and crack ft jealous hoon

a/n: back to back posts whats going on ema?! well u see. i cant resist writing for my bf..

sunghoon knew going shopping with you was going to go one out of two ways.

option one, you’d somehow manipulate him into purchasing an armful of stuffed animals for your collection since — according to you — they were replacements for when he was away (which he was pretty offended about; how could those inanimate objects compare to the park sunghoon?), or option two, you’d find a way to escape his protective watch over you and wander off somewhere. 

update from sunghoon in the future: it was option two. or perhaps it’d be both, considering he was yet to find you.

sunghoon swore you did these things to him on purpose sometimes.

he was only distracted for a mere minute by all the different cereals on display, and yet you still somehow disappeared in those sixty seconds. “personally, i say we get rice krispies ‘cause i mean,” he scoffs as if it’s obvious, “let’s be real, you can never go wrong with rice krispies. and not those rip off chocolate ones! i mean the good ol’, classic regular ones. don’t you think—“

when sunghoon turns to give you a convincing perk of his lips, his face quickly drops in the realization that you’re nowhere to be found. “y/n..?” he finishes hesitantly.

with a stressed sigh, the boy quickly throws his rice krispies into your cart before pushing it onto the outside of the aisles, speed walking through the store while anxiously scanning each column for your bright purple winter coat.

yes, you may be a fully functioning person with a brain, but sunghoon highly preferred having you under his supervision at all times when it came to grocery shopping. who knew what strange goldfish flavor you were going to force him to buy, or what sale signs you were looking at, probably getting ready to say something like, “hoonie look, i can get twelve kitkat bars for only 15$! quite the bargain, huh?”

however, sunghoon quickly wishes it was the goldfish you were looking at, because the predicament he finds you in is much, much worse than any chocolate sale.

while your boyfriend was off having an inner debate over cereal like usual, you had gotten slightly distracted by a giant sign saying “buy two ice cream cartons, get one 50% now!”

who in their right mind would turn down a deal on ice cream? definitely not you!

you had eagerly waddled over to the ice cream aisle, smiling giddily at the thought of bringing back cartons of dessert for you and your boyfriend to share. just as you reach out to pull open the freezer door, a larger hand lands just on top of yours.

eyes widening, you whip your head over to meet eyes with a shockingly handsome stranger. he’s remarkably tall — though not as tall as sunghoon — you note.

when he looks down at you, he smiles in interest, quickly moving his hand off yours. “my apologies,mmiss.”

“oh, no worries.” you grin back, pulling open the fridge door for the both of you. as you begin to scan through the different flavors, the man’s voice interrupts you again.

“what’re you thinking of getting?” he inquires with a raise of his brow.

you glance back at him for a moment, pondering. “mm, maybe strawberry, i've actually never tried it before,” with your confession, you rub the back of your neck shyly.

the stranger gasps, looking at you offended. “what?! how have you never had strawberry ice cream?”

“i don’t know!” you defend with a giggle, “to be fair, i haven’t tried any flavor really— besides the basic chocolate and vanilla.”

the man reaches into the fridge to grab the strawberry ice cream — which was placed almost mockingly on the highest shelf possible — before handing it to you with a smirk. “if you want, i could take you out to try some other flavors?”

oh, was he trying to flirt with you this whole time?

guiltily, you quickly shake your head.” i’m sorry, you seem really nice, but i’m actually here with my— oof!”

before you know it, you’ve been pulled back into a sturdy embrace, the familiar smell of sunghoon surrounding you. his handsome face is slightly wrinkled due to a displeased frown, brows furrowed as he studies the man up and down. “hi hoon!” you say, beaming obliviously.

when he hears your voice, he looks down at you, fangs poking through his smile in adoration. “hi baby.” his smile vanishes as fast as it appears when he looks back up at the stranger in front of you. “and what do we have here?”

the man gulps, still awkwardly holding the carton of strawberry ice cream. “well- well i was actually just-“

“trying to ask my girlfriend out?”

“well technically yes, but i didn’t know that-“

“that your old navy sweater has a suspicious looking ketchup stain on the left sleeve?” sunghoon calls out condescendingly, “or that your hairline seems to be slightly receding, especially on the right side?”

your jaw drops, about to scold the boy before he continues, “y’know, before trying to ask someone out, especially someone who’s totally out of your league by the way, i’d start there.” with the final blow, sunghoon shrugs while pointing to the nearby clothes aisle, not before stealing the ice cream carton right out of the man’s arms.

as your boyfriend leads you away with a guiding hand on your back, you hear the man mutter an ‘asshole’ from behind you. sunghoon only snickers smugly, while you shake your head with a giggle.

“my big, strong, man!” you mock as soon as you’ve left the store with a teasing grin, “reclaiming his turf! marking his territory!” sunghoon blushes a bright red, looking away from you shyly. “asserting his dominance-“

“okay i get it, jagi,” he whines in embarrassment, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets.

you snicker in amusement, looking down at the strawberry ice cream in your grocery bag. “i mean, that was pretty good, i gotta admit. like— the hairline comment? did you learn that from niki?”

your boyfriend just sighs in defeat. “you’re never gonna live this down, are you?”

“nope!” you chirp, “but at least you look hot when you’re all protective.”

“just wait til’ you get jealous, i’m remembering this,” he mutters with a pout.

“whatever you say, love.”

it was safe to say that after today, sunghoon would never be complaining about your plushie or goldfish purchases ever again.

if you enjoyed, reblogs and comments are always appreciated and motivating!

Im coming to u guys with a deal, and im coming to u guys first because I trust that u arent going to screw me on this one. To cut it to the chase I invented a new kind of sandwich that I think could be very big, and very very big for your wallet if you get in on the ground floor of this.

Point is, the sandwich is called the three tenets, which are the three pickle slices u can see on the sandwich, and by the way the sandwich is open faced. Under it is a melted cheddar cheese, and some butter, which is more crucial than u could ever imagine.

Its really easy to make, u dont even need a SLICE of cheddar cheese, a HUNK will work as well, since when u throw the whole tuing in the microwave the hunk will melt down to the shape u see in the picture anyway. I wanted to get a more intimate second shot of the sandwich but I ended up taking a bite, irresistible sandwich u can tell...

Margins on this are awesome. Its really cheap to make, if ur making sandwiches it only takes one slice of bread which means double the sandwich and pickles which most people r asking for u to take off anyway i bet and cheese is goodstuff, yeah, but thats the only expensive bit not meat or anything. I bet u have plenty of butter laying around too, or a butter substitite like margarin. Dont worry, i wont tell. Different cheeses, doesnt have to be cheddar...any tenet will work as well but i highly dont recommend using something other than pickle, hard to get your hands on a lot of really salty stuff like it, which u need to keep people coming back for more, basically addictide. Another about this sandwuich is how versatile it is - just like the deal im offering U...;

This is exclusive on the up+up, u cant sell this sandwich without my permichin, so im selling permichin. The margins on this are so good, u wont even notice taking my cut on your sandw sales.  

So what do u say, are we doing this ..?

[splatattackz]

i agree that excluding pomme from the merch would not have been a good move either. they should’ve either :

1) waited until everything is resolved before releasing merch

2) releasing it alongside a statement saying that the money from the sales would go toward paying the admins (if that is the case)

bonus : announcing pomme merch right while it’s known that her admin is in a tedious situation is the problem tbh not that the merch exists

im gonna post these, i cant formulate a proper response right now because in dealing with smth else but i will later. i think this is important for people to see though this is well formulated and did help me understand more the stance

SMARTASS SAVING POPPY FROM A JEALOUS, VAIN KNIGHT

Knight: I could take you away from all this.

Poppy: I-

Knight: Yes, courting a peasant girl is considered beneath me as is the blossoming between a human and a fable...*pauses to groom himself in the mirror* No matter that you are below my rank. You will enjoy cooking and cleaning for me and may even make a fine mistress before I marry for good.

Poppy: But I-

Smartass: Excuse me bub, she ain't for sale!

Knight: You wish to spar, weasel?

Smartass: I'll give yous a knuckle-sandwich, go slay some dragon and hit on some othah broad!

Knight: Loathsome tidings you foul fiend!

...

Poppy: ....Thank you.

Smartass: Fah what?

Poppy: Rescuing me back there.

Smartass: *sniffs* That wasn't rescuin' that was uhh...'re-namin' my territory!

Poppy: I see.

Smartass: *holds the reins and says nothing*

Poppy: May I have your name?

Smartass: Sergeant Smart...I mean uhh...Wise Guy.

Poppy: I'm Poppy.

Smartass: I didn't ask.

Poppy: I thought it would be more formal.

Smartass: Pfft...youse a chamber maid, what you gotta be formal for?

Poppy: ...To be polite to my hero.

Smartass: ...Dat's a dirty word where I come from.

(I love the idea that even in a European fairytale, Smartass keeps his old-school Brooklyn accent 😂)

NERDGIRL YOU CANT MAKE MY HEART EXPLODE LIKE THIS-

(This knights name wouldn't happen to be Gaston, would it? XD)

Betcha this isn't the first time Smarty goes 're-naming his territory'.

Poppy feels so conflicted because she's scared of this guy and his gang! But he saved her from that creep too! And she's grateful for that ^^ She kind of wants to find a way to repay him, though she also doesn't want it to evolve into something she isn't prepared for either.

Imagine if that knight was a member of the castle. So Poppy has to deal with him constantly. And since Smartass now lives there too, he can be first in line to show that jerk his place. Tooottally only because he's annoying. This isn't at all related to the chamber maid. Ignore the fact that he'll walk with her everytime for a bit to make sure the knight doesn't come back.

hiii lol dxg1rly anon, again. i saw the two comments abt refunds (and by the time this gets posted there will probably my second confession here where i was a little more annoyed and emotional and ppl will prolly say the same thing).

i know i should but i honestly don’t think she would or would be able to refund me. ik ik i dont know until i try, but i cant charge back the paypal payment bc it over 180 days and my bank also cannot do anything about it because of the time frame. so it would have to be up to her to refund me. i have already kind of written off the money since it was really long ago and instead put in a little extrawork and made it back in my mind. but my friend and her recent ramping of sales made me start thinking about it again.

yes its a good amount of money. if you have a feeling you’re in a similar situation and an artist or smth keeps backing out of their promise dates, GET YOUR REFUND WHEN YOU HAVE PROTECTION. but yeah. i frankly just don’t want to deal with it personally because i don’t have self confidence she will follow through with refunding if she can’t even send the things she apparently already made. if i hadn’t been so trusting back then when it would have been easier, then i would have done a refund.

What if Giran was actually Hisashi Midoriya? (Inko got good taste lol)

goooood take nonny because one of the things that fascinates me about Giran is his working with KD in Vigilantes- like, Giran only works with people he respects, and apparently he respects this one hero enough to supply him what he needs to save his daughter from one of All For One's villain factories- AfO being his MAIN network/empoloyer! honestly it makes sense to me that Giran has some fondness for some heroes and/or some family that he can support KD's goal- and in this au, it can be both!

So, Giran is an information broker, and analysis on quirks and fights would be very useful information to both heroes and villains, so you know he shares that with his kid here. He indulges Izuku's love of heroes too because he has a soft spot for a couple and thinks the All Might fanaticism will fizzle with age

Initially he was planning to be slightly more direct with setting Izuku up with a potential criminal career, but then Izuku was determined quirkless, and he kinda figured if it was going to happen as it was likely to, Izuku'd end up there on his own and it was better to leave him what peace was left before then. In the meantime, he gets sentimental and helps a retired hero save his quirkless daughter from AfO

Annnnnd then Izuku was determined to be a hero so much he suddenly developed a quirk and got into UA. And now Giran is low-key panicking because AFO gave his son a quirk without telling him!! or asking a price!! which means Izuku made the deal!! and what, does AfO not have the decency to ask Giran himself?? Is he trying to replace him with Izuku?? or... did he find out about some of Giran's side sales, that cost AfO's empires? is this punishment?

Giran decides to casually ask him about it as one does, but AfO reacts... strangely. As if he didn't give him the quirk, and then asks "Oh, yes, i forgot what it even was, something too slight to think of asking a price for it... But we respect each other too much for that. Remind me what it was?"

and Giran is like... "huh... Told me it something explosive and he can't use it in the house. i would have thought he was joking, like i always say my quirk's firebreath to get an excuse to smoke and can't be expected to prove it, but his bandages and injuries tell me he's being honest. but maybe hurting himself was the price then?" and AfO is like 'huh............... maybe thats ofa but i wouldn't call it an explosion quirk... can this kid copy quirks? does he have an afo mutation??? somehow????'

And so Giran decides he's got to ask izuku directly, "hey, who gave you that quirk and what did he ask for because i know you got it from my boss and he was acting real weird when i asked him." and Izuku's like "YOU WORK FOR ALL MIGHT???" and Giran, who knows his son would not be fooled by any impersonation of All Might, let alone that AfO wouldn't do one, is like "YOU GOT YOUR QUIRK FROM ALL MIGHT??? CAN YOU STEAL QUIRKS??? HOW???"

after they um, have to clear things up Giran realizes they only have a small amount of time until AfO figures where Izuku's quirk actually came from so he's like 'welp. guess its time for me to do my best to sabotage the league. i'll make sure they don't get any useful info about 1a's quirks, that All Might will wipe the floor with the extremely lame villains i set up for Shigaraki, then i leave a very helpful anonymous tip.' and so he deliberately introduces Toga and Dabi to Shigaraki because he knows the chances of them killing each other and Dabi burning down the bar are very high at this point and leaves to let the magic happen........ and to hurridly create a few new identities for his family because no way is he actually dealing with the consequences of his criminal history, All Might cant cut that nice a deal even for AfO info so he's making his own deal

Leverage Log:The Toy Job

And now for the series original run's second-to-last episode. Title-based prediction: Corporate Mandated Christmas special and/or beanie baby speculative market based episode. --- Amateur thief tries to steal from a research department. (company name seems to be poggio, which, im fairly certain based on the shows original runyears is a reference to the OG POG's. Not the later return of POG as a slang term.)

Christmas tree in the brewpub cause it is the christmas episode. Toy is a choking hazard, cant be allowed to get on the market.

mark is a former armsdealer (also his name is "hazlit" which I think is meant to be a sound-alike to HAS-bro). This means he knows how to set up competent security. The raports are on a drive thast in a safe in a double-walled room, and its a safe good enough that Parker says drill it rather then going for a finger-feel. (we need a distraction, and we need it loud enough to overcrowd the sound of a drill)

--- they're arguing christmas gift protocols. (must be hard deciding a reasonable limit when you're all billionaires). Sophie suggests limiting the spending budget, and Nate negotiates her down to $50 per person. (which probably means, per person per gift, everyone gifting everyone 1 gift. So $200 total) which would be more likely to work if you werent all thieves. Like we all understand the punchline here... None of you are gonna spend a cent on each others gifts.(and im shocked as hell that Hardison spent money on that motorcycle for Parker.) --- He forged the paperwork, but its nice to see an episode where we acknowledge that most of the times (off screen) their jobs end up with a simple "Parker gets in, gets out and the billionare cries in prison". Its kind of like the Anthropic principle. "the only realities humans can observe are those whose fundamental principles allow for observation by humans" also known in media as "Johny bravo gets laid all the time, those stories just dont make good episodes". But its always nice to have a show allude to the "boring" adventures that are its shows day-to-day. --- "we're gonna steal christmass" boo Chaos already pulled that line in season 3! --- Nate does not like the "whirly-glee-glee" as a name. And we're about to steal toys from children in underdeveloped countries.

Parker sees the whirly box, and a box labeled "Baby Joy Rage" and makes an executive decision. (i think she's right, kids need a toy with at least some edge or personality to get truly hyped about)

--- Sophie's on the radar, Hardison did some stats on neighbourhoods that have historic trend-setter influencer potential. Elliot is giving the dolls away for free (ultimate move in loss-leader strategies) Sophie puts it in the bag of a child-star, Hardison does a paparazzi photo, and I absolutely hate how simple yet plausible this entire endeavour is. --- Sophie's actors are being brought in to call-center mode. (I like Zachary) Cant con a 6 year old, but you can con the parents. (love the little joke about "get on the mommies")

Nate hates "baby feels a lot" more then he ever hated Whirly-glee-glee. He's also the episodes obligatory "christmas sceptic".

Hardison sees a picture of a bloggermom and is suddenly a lot more interested in operation "get on the moms". Like Elliot suddenly has a Sophie level of depth for his con-character prepared.

Dead mom, single father, slighlty outdated sense of childrens gender identity but clearly demonstrated potential for growth. Man Elliots Dad-sona is just putting on the schmaltz. --- Elliot trying to keep Hardisons stories realistic, Nate stuck between the two. Back to Sophie and this Gil is signing this deal memo without looking at it. He's too busy socialising to actually watch what he's signing. Around Sophie you might as welll be signing your own death-warrant. --- Oh most of the data is in online pre-sales nowadays? Reservations on the internet, that a hacker with a botnet could rig? Like taking candy from a baby. --- Sophie makes VP at Poggio Parker gloating about her executive decision. Fake a gas-warning to clear out the factory for Nate --- Nate putting a final stretch on the sale of the trojan horse make the mark feel FOMO. Sophie is absolutely repulsed by this man (unfortunately he does not feel mutual) --- Oh the mark has counterplayed them by making a knock-off product. Well this guy just went full on Narcissus --- Oh, thats funny. Not only does this Gil guy who owns the shelves not watch what he's signing, Look who also doesnt pay attention to that stuff. --- Client gets a new job, Nate owns a boat? (i mean its not a shock that he owns a boat, its not out of character just dont think it was ever properly established, i've never seen him on a boat and the only time he was near a boat was saying goodbye to his father in the Three Card Monte job).

Introducing the character who's spent the last season ominously leering at retirement as a boat-owner in the second to last episode feels like maybe he wont die, in that it introduces a prospect of retirement as a thing he's thought about. But also it introduces "one day to retirement" as well so i dont actually know if his survival chances went up or down just now. But the reminder of Sam's sickness itself (a sickness that is still ominously vague, nameless and nebulous) in the second-to-last episode... I know i was wrong when i said it seasons ago, but is Nate dying? Also peaking at the name of the next episode... (long goodbye), yeah thats ominous. Im gonna say, next episode features a health scare, Him and Sophie retire for his health and he passes the torch. (to the 3 collectively in general, Parker in specific) and I think he will die between series and sequel but not in the finale itself. His death between the series and sequel puts Sophie back in the game, which then opens up space for the "lawyer" to slot into the sequel series without bloating the cast to a rather unwieldy 6. --- Good episode and unintrusive as holiday specials are concerned.

[shingogf]

Its 1 am and im bored and i cant stop thinking about just how fuckin tragically complex spamton's character really is like. That's grade A fuckin writing.

Not only was he not so great from the start and life was by all means not kind to him bc his sales never hit no matter what, but after that benefactor (be it gaster or whoever) contacted him and he was drowning in money and fame, everything was ripped away from him once they left. He had everything a man could wish for in life and it was all just...lost in a matter of seconds. Not only that but his friends abandoned him before that too out of jealousy and after his imminent fall they entirely refused any kind of contact with him and society turned its back entirely on him, deeming him as an outcast. His past fame and success was irrelevant, because everyone looked down upon him now that he was a nobody.

But i think what he wanted the most wasn't just easy cash and bitches, but sentinence. He wanted to "call his own deals" as he puts it, he wanted autonomy over his own life and for whatever the fuck reason neither he or jevil or kris for that matter (the kris/jevil -> spamton pipeline is a whole other story theres too much to say on it) have it. And he may have had a vague idea about how it felt when being helped out by that benefactor but that didnt last either and when he saw it didnt he entirely lost his mind, further driving people away from him bc they didnt wanna be associated with his unstable ass. While you can't blame the system and other ppl necessarily for potentially targeting and "destroying" his life (i.e evicting someone who cant pay rent isnt inherently malicious), multiple factors from his environment contributed to his ultimate ruin.

And i wont even get into how fuckin good the pinocchio parallels are bc man...the character WRITING. At the end of the spamton neo battle after u defeat him peacefully he mentions he's gonna become "a real boy" with understandable excitement, but even that does not happen cuz he fuckin dies the second u cut his last string which is such a beautifully sad way of putting it. No matter how much he struggles he will never gain the free will he craves so much because he is made to be stringed around. He cannot live without an outer higher force that makes choices for him and directs him and he loathes it. Even he sorrowfully admits it at the end by saying that he couldnt be more than "a simple puppet" then recognizes kris' potential of overcoming their condition, unlike him. The inherent difference between him and pinocchio is that pinocchio at the end of the story achieves his dreams and becomes a real person, spamton, on the contrary, had lost everything relating to his person a long time ago and will never be able to get it back no matter how much he kicks and screams and tries. He also hates jevil for being able to "accept" his fate and choosing to live in blissful ignorance towards his mediocre condition, something which spamton simply cannot accept which brings his inevitable downfall.

Another parallel that makes me so fuckin normal abt his character is the weird ass icarus theme he's got going on. Besides the obvious physical comparison you could make with neo and his literal wings that look like they've been put together in a frenzy by a first grader during arts and crafts, spamton, just like icarus, tried seeing past his given role/condition and had unceremoniously fallen because of it. He had forcefully crafted his own wings and stubbornly ignored others' words, flew too close to the sun and failed, because spamton's core driving force is his stupidly high level of perseverance. Achieving absolution and ultimate truth had rendered spamton fully incapable.

#i drank water 4 times while writing this #.txt #mine #dr #the deltarune hype may have died down but my burning interest for spamton and his immaculate character writing will forever live on #deltarune #like i cant stress enough how amazing of a job toby does at portraying dark themes esp shit like societal neglect or the pscyhe #i legit cant wait to see what else mans got in store for us next #they rlly said lets make this mf the most accurate portrayal of a tragic comedy

Sorry but "people cant fault us for making them kiss and fuck in fanfic when they do stuff like this in real life" made me laugh so much just now 😂😂😂😂😂😂 like "they're having a bubble bath? Wonder what that will lead to afterwards. To the writing board!" While cackling and rubbing your hands together like a villain 😂😂😂

Alternatively of course: "oh, a bubble bath? Wonder what one of them needs to be distracted from/recover from/what conversations asking for advice or support could happen here hehe", also cackling and rubbing your hands together like a villain as you prepare to make Aleksi cry 😂😂😂

The tag was mostly directed at those whiny (cough twitter) people that complain about anything we writers do from making them cuddle too hard, to making them kiss (despite them openly saying they do that and we see it!) and of course the sweet sweet (kinky) sex.

Like...they're naked in a bathtub, most of the stuff I write is fluffier than this. They're so gay on main that I don't even have to use my fantasy brain cells that much. That's what I meant with it.

But to your ask. Maybe they dried each other with a fluffy towel afterwards or slipped on some nice bathrobes and had cuddles in bed🥰

Oh making Aleksi cry, let me see. Ah it reminds me after a fight when one of them cleans the blood off the other's face or gently gives them a bath because the other cant :( They're so hurt they can barely move so the other has to use a cloth to wipe them clean, oh and wash their hair, or....

Okay story idea for Fantasy/Medival AU:

Olli owns a bathhouse, maybe together with Joonas (what I learned from Kingdom Come: Deliverance is that those also had spicy offers and that's Joonas' part of the deal 😉)

Aleksi and Niko are bakers with their own mill, you know living nicely at a river, it's beautiful, right outside the city so they can pay their friends a visit

and it would have been even nicer if Niko's fiance wasn't the "ex" of the son of the mayor of the city who didn't like it at all to lose that beautiful maiden (Niko could impress with his pastry skills and romantic side and she was so in love with his cat Rommi)

and it didn't help at all that Joel (who had a home with them currently as his last conquest threw him out) had been gambling with him at night in the inn and won so that the guy even had to promise him a good spot at the next harvest festival as he didn't have enough money on him

(Joel wanted to impress Joonas with his lute playing who had charmed him with his fluffy hair and blue eyes and bright smile that Joel had almsot walked into the river when he had seen him hang up the laundry)

as it has to come like this, dude's friends paid the mill a visit and "told" the guys they were not impressed with their behaviour, and three against five was not fair so they took quite a beating 😥

Aleksi and the others come to the bathhouse because they certainly don't wanna be there in case the guys come back

but Olli can tend to Aleksi and fuss as much as he wants, carefully dabbing the blood from his brow and cheeks, coming so close that Aleksi went in for a kiss, the adrenaline gave the courage he always needed to confess his love, before he was just too shy when Olli came to their sales stand on the market to buy bread, but now the awkward flirting finally lead to something

Joonas immediately cares for Joel (who's very pleased) especially when Joonas not only dibs the cloth in the water to clean Joel's face, but also his hand to vanish between Joel's thighs😳

Niko complains afterwards that this guy Tommi is very rough with his hands and he's off to visit his fiance to get the care he needs

my dxm still doesn’t expire till next may... hell yeah, i thought it would have been sooner. gotta take some more of that good stuff... but my expiring delta 8 takes priority. if i wasn’t so into disco elysium lately i’d be more eager to get high... as much as it’d be in spirit with harry i feel like if i weren’t sober the whole game would go over my head.

i really love it so far. inland empire for life, talking necktie and all... besides harry and kim my favorites are lena, and roy... pyrholidon seems like lots of fun, shame its not real i think.. really though, the day before i first started playing, i barely remember because i was pretty high, but i still feel like disco elysium stole that night faster than the high could take the one before it, which is a pretty sweet way to say i like it more than drugs

by the way, im getting my phone replaced, so i cant write about the tv here this morning like i usually do. im going to write it down on paper and post it like i do once i wake up this afternoon. waking up a little earlier to go and fetch my new phone from the store, how exciting! the man at the store got me a deal where i can trade in my old busted one of 6-7 years for a brand spanking new one, and only have to pay sales tax and for the plan.. bitchin

no one asked but i wrote a longpost about how to buy microsd cards as a casual user because im getting so annoyed by amazon

- its better to have multiple small cards than one big card. i know it sucks but all sd cards are really unreliable even under the best conditions, and its way better to only fry half of your data

- dont use amazon. bezos doesnt give a shit about the sale of counterfeit cards that do not store nearly as much data as they claim to. even if its a good deal dont do it; if you get a good deal on a 1TB card, its probably actually a 4GB card and your computer/camera/switch/whatever wont know what to do with it and start overwriting itself. its probably worse than coinflip odds on amazon right now

- go to walmart or target or best buy. brick and mortar store. and find a card. its your best shot at getting something thats actually what it says it is

- stay under like 128gb MAYBE 256. anything higher is pretty likely to have mounting and overheating issues and its just not worth the convenience of having everything on one card. the switch can handle up to 2tb cards but the cards themselves WILL fail no matter what device youre using them for

- if you have some patience and stick to small cards you wont really have to worry about speeds. youre not writing enough data to Full Sims 3 Fry That Shit and as a casual user youre unlikely to notice the difference

- high write speed adds to the overheating problems, so in some cases a slow write speed is actually better. companies will brag about their lightning fast cards, and its awesome until they burn up and stop transmitting data

- microsd setups are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. your lighting fast card will be slow if you use an adapter that cant handle it. on the flip side, if you find that your card is overheating from writing too fast, you can sometimes throttle it with a shitty adapter

- if youre using adapters to go microsd->sd->usb youre increasing your chances of things going wrong. as few steps as possible is best. fewer parts means fewer points that can fail

ok i think thats all in my brain rn

#im really sick of cheap cards being marked up and expensive cards failing #and none of the relevant corporations care

A PENNY?!?! Sam literally how?! AND FOR JEANS?! but you know what I would try to achieve that high again too lol But yay for shopping! Hope you got some lovely stuff bestie!

Dealing with teens all day for the entire work week is CRAZY so I dont blame you for having constant headaches lol oddly enough my brother is the one that suffers from headaches lol Oh hormones for sure cause the stomach to be wack which is so unfair! this period will NOT affect you on your break!! A period is never fun but hope youre taking care of yourself!

ME TOO!!! I do not fit in those flared/bell bottom jeans thats trendy now which is tragic solely because that's all i ever see in stores!?! Im also not even close to being considered tall or petite and those just make me look so off too bahah So skinny jeans for me have always been the option where although not the best option, they are the lesser evil of jeans lol

AWW that's so cute! Little Sam was such an icon for that!(you still are obvi) You should for sure should revisit the marry janes for the fall!!! I am waiting for that day too! Sam I don't think you know how much of a HATER i am of electric scooters, i am fighting a battle everyday trying not to get killed by them on campus 😭 But I love that coleege was walkable for you! It must have been nice getting to know the area well!

I had a feeling you played softball at least! Idk if my mind was just projecting the Made to be Universe/storyline but softball seemed like something you would have done/enjoyed! But omg you were like a full on athlete?! That's so cool! Not the injuries of course but the rest is!

I tense up so quickly because im very awkward about my feelings😭SAM THERE HAD TO BE MANY THAT FOUND YOU HOT! i kid you not being smart is SO attractive! Plus a cute girly who is GOOD at math in a typically guy dominated field!? The puns seem like a very you thing and i love that honestly! I think its so cute when people do that!

ALSO THAT POLL😭 bestie I cant choose😭I need them ALL! I spent a good minute thinking about my vote lol very excited though!

Have such a lovely start to your break Sam! love you!-💜

If there is a coupon I will find it lol. I can't tell you how many times I've signed up for American Eagle text messages and then unsubscribed just to get 15% off every time. I think I had a crazy reward and then the jeans were already on sale. I'm pretty sure they have to charge you something in order for the sale to go through so I think they HAD to charge me something.

I'm already enjoying my break actually despite my period. Thank God for Midol tbh I think I would die without it. My body is very clockwork so after cramps for a FUN 24 hours it's usually much more manageable. I HAVE to take meds though even if I don't feel crampy right away. The second my body realizes I'm on my period it's like "TIME FOR CRAMPS" and again, if I don't take the meds right away I get behind the pain and I am FUCKED for the remainder of the 24 hours.

I am trying to relax as much as possible because May and June are going to be crazy with senior prom/graduation and stuff. Plus I've outsourced myself as well for lots of other projects 🙃 I really need to learn to say no (time to reread Dolcezza) But I plan on finishing this book I'm reading (I haven't done very well reading lately, but I'm telling myself it's okay because it's not a race and I read a lot early on.) I do have to do some lesson planning but I actually enjoy that because I find math soothing like a psychopath hahahahaha

That's amazing you like skinny jeans. I feel so ostracized sometimes when it comes to my jeans choices. All my friends and coworkers have moved on with the trends and I'm still in 2013/2014/2015/2016 hahaha. VERY controversial: I actually really like jeans. I always by jegging jeans so they're super stretchy and comfy. Obviously if I can wear leggings I will hahahaha.

I'm crying about the electric scooter. You must be on a sizable campus to have electric scooters that's so funny. People drove their bikes/skateboards around campus a lot but no scooters. I loved the area my college was in (I actually live down the street from it in an apartment now because I love this area so much) it's very much the setting behind My Friend's Toyota hahaha

LOOK AT YOU MISS DETECTIVE HAHAHAHAHA I didn't even realize that about Made to Be that's so funny and true. I tried a bit of everything tbh. I did swimming (mostly so I wouldn't die growing up on the beach) and tennis lessons which I wasn't good at either but I really enjoyed anyway. I suck at ice skating (do you know how often you use your ankles for pretty much every sport? 🙃) and idk what it is about basketball but I may as well just sit in the middle of the court it would be less harmful to those around me.

OH BESTIE SAME HERE ABOUT FEELINGS. Everyone around me told me my bf liked me before we started dating and I was like "No he doesn't he thinks I'm gross" ☠ if they found me hot and attractive I kinda wish they told me! 😭 it's selfish but it would have done a nice boost to my ego. I was never the 'looked' at friend if you will. I called myself The DUFF™ all throughout middle and high school I really did a number on my self-esteem 😭 I am probably a little toxic when it comes to being a STEM girly lol because I tried so hard in high school and college to prove I was just as smart as the boys (sometimes more actually 😉)

For the poll it's just about the order which I think is kind of fun! I hope other people are enjoying it--I find it really helpful! I thought I did a lot of my more "obscure" stories on the last round of voting so I thought it would be nice to bring back some of the more popular series. I almost threw Protection on there too but thought it was too much (and too mean to make that decision) hahahaha

💕💕

xoxo
