people i would like to get to know better game!!
tagged by: @sidsthekid thanks friend!
last song i listened to: haha - St. Judy's Comet by Paul Simon. It has become my nephew's default lullaby song and I have it stuck in my head 24/7. It's driving me up the wall but still a great song!
currently watching: nothing. please someone give me a recommendation of a good show! have recently finished rewatching bridgerton and can't take on any more queer eye at the moment because I get too invested and cry through every episode. let me know what you guys are watching!
spicy/sweet/savory: sweet! I have such a sweet tooth. especially any kind of fruit.
relationship status: married for nearly three years now. mr sportsthoughts says he feels like it's gone very quickly but I disagree and feel like spontaneously getting married mid pandemic (one of my more reckless decisions) feels like a lifetime ago. best decision I ever made though. when in doubt, just marry your best buddy!
current obsession(s): I got really into fantasy hockey this year and am going to miss it when the season ends. my league (which consisted of me and 11 middle aged canadian men as they were the only people with a space left on fantrax) ended up being extremely competitive and very very fun. Can feel myself getting obsessed with the gym again which normally happens around this time each year when it's light enough that I actually want to leave my house in the mornings. Also really obsessed with my hilariously long and complicated skincare routine atm - I didn't really think it was doing much but I got carded to buy a packet of paracetamol (16 age limit in the UK) last week so I might be onto a winner.
fav color: at the moment green
who I want to know better: i've seen this one do the rounds so sorry if you've already done this and I missed it! I'm a nosy nosy person and want to know everyone but I will just tag some people I've had nice conversations with recently but don't know well @coffee-at-annies @reavenedges-lies @freebooter4ever @donderwolkenblog @holdingpenalty @vermithorr @pensultimate - no pressure though!

Favorite Books of 2020*
*being books I read in 2020, for the first time, rather than only limited to books published in 2020, and in no specific order, except for probably by author because I tend to read an author’s whole backlog when I ~discover~ them
**These are also, exclusively, books I gave 5 stars to. Didn’t intend it, but here we are.
Did this for my own gratification to sift through all the books I read this year, but thought it could serve as a recommendation list too! I pretty much exclusively read Historical (Regency) Romances, so that’s what this is. 
1. The Captive by Grace Burrowes- Absolutely moving book, my new standard for hurt comfort 
2. The Traitor by Grace Burrowes- ~villain~ from book 1 on this list as the MC and also super moving and just generally Great
3. Andrew: Lord of Despair by Grace Burrowes- I read the summary. I was not interested. I decided to read the first 10 pages before bed. Read the first 190 pages. 
The rest of the list is under the cut, 29th entry has a spoiler so just be pre-warned.
4. Darius by Grace Burrows- I hate the trope this book covers, and yet I loved this book
5. The Seduction of an English Scoundrel by Jillian Hunter- So funny, actually I loved this whole series and since it is 15 books long, I won’t list them all. Just know I loved them. Most of them. 
6. Teresa Medeiros. Seriously almost all of her books. Specifically, though: The Vampire Who Loved Me, After Midnight, One Night Of Scandal, Charming the Prince, and Thief of Hearts
7. Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros- This one was so good, it needs its own spot even though I also loved the ones above. This book though.
8. The Wedding Night by Barbara Dawson Smith- love people already married who come back together and fall in love, and this one delivered
9. The Markham Hall Series by Sierra Simone- erotica, Good book, I reread favorite scenes all the time
10. Duke I'd Like to F... and Naughty Brits- Two anthology that had to be read for their titles alone, liked all the stories which is all that really matters to me with anthologies 
11. Two Rogues Make a Right by Cat Sebastian- so sweet, another hurt/comfort
12. The entire Sebastian St. Cyr Series by C.S. Harris- murder mysteries set after the Napoleonic Wars. LOVED. Also nice to see a love story play out over several books.
13. Someone to Romance by Mary Balogh- I’m going to be honest: I love everything Mary Balogh writes. Her books just work for me.
14. The Deadly Hours- another anthology, but I really only liked Susanna Kearsley and C.S. Harris’ stories. Still, worth it for me!
15. The Will Darling Adventures Series by KJ Charles- these boys. Charles makes me feel her books viscerally in a way I like.
16. Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean- Another villain (sort of) turned MC for this one. MacLean makes me like characters I don’t expect to like, and I would legitimately like anything she wrote so here we are.
17. A Dark and Stormy Knight by Kerrigan Bryne- I hated the MC of this book in the rest of this series and now I like him, so again, here we are
18. The Earl of Christmas Past by Kerrigan Bryne- healed my pain from the Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and that is all I will say on the matter
19. All Scot and Bothered by Kerrigan Bryne- I think its clear that I just like Bryne’s books. 
20. Marry in Scarlet by Anne Gracie- I was so excited for this book and it managed to exceed by expectations. 
21. Amanda Quick- Just, all of them yet again. I literally gave most of them 5 stars and cannot reduce them to my favorites. I liked all of them. You can message me for specifics cause they do cross genres ect., but just know that I loved them all.
22. The Lord I Left by Scarlett Peckham- as a person with a complicated relationship with religion, this book appealed to me, and you know ~I hope that didn’t awaken anything in me~
23. The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham- loved the thesis of the book (if you can call it that in a fiction book). Thought it was really well done.
24. Something Wicked by Jo Beverly- it has been months since I read this book and every time I think about it, I’m like, damn that was a good book. Enemy-ish characters and like....my stomach hurt when I was reading it? I was that emotionally distressed. This book made me feel some kind of way.
25. That Scandalous Evening by Christina Dodd- young woman sculpts crush, gets the proportions of his....manly bits wrong because she’s an innocent, he’s embarrassed, she’s ostracized for 10 years! and then they meet again and its great and hilarious
26. My Favorite Bride by Christina Dodd- I’m 1000% sure this is a The Sound of Music retelling and it’s Perfect
27. House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas- I just think it was Neat. World building, characters, Maas, I liked it.
28. Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas- there was a scene cut from a previous book in this series about the characters in this book and it appears in this book, but someone posted it and every so often, I would read that scene over and over because it was so good and the full book did not disappoint me.
29. The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo- ok, this is a well written book but it has low ratings on goodreads for its ****SPOILERS**** psuedo-incest between two step-siblings. ***END SPOILERS*** I think its a little unfair, because it is a good book, and I love Choo’s writing, but I mean I understand that it can be a problematic read for some people.
and finally
30. Ten Things I Hate About the Duke by Loretta Chase- I’ve been waiting 3! years! for this book and boy was it worth that wait. I’m not even done with it yet, but yeah, it’s working for me.

Jane the Virgin 2x21 Chapter Forty-Three
Click here for previous recaps!
Stray thoughts
1) Are we really having a sub-plot about Jane fighting with another mom over a children’s birthday party entertainer? Hmmmmokay.
2) I feel like Jane getting a publishing deal thanks to her grandma meeting someone from Simon & Schuster would be kind of like a cop-out? Really? This is how the struggling mother and writer will get her book published? I really hope not… it would be disappointing.
3) Petra decided not to go to Jane’s wedding because of the whole Anezka thing, but Jane convinced her otherwise since they’re pretty much family. Petra then promised to keep Anezka away from Jane. But… how am I supposed to know if this really Petra or if it’s Anezka pretending to be Petra…?
4) Michael’s brother – whose character is so inconsequential I couldn’t be bothered to learn his name – gave him 48 hours to give up the hotel. We’re heading for disaster, I think. On top of that, Petra and Jane are telling him to take two very different roads, and he’s torn on what advice to follow.
5) Hmm. Jane’s professor just told her not to present her novel to the publisher, and I think this might be a case of artist envy? Or is she genuinely concerned about Jane’s prospects as a writer? 
6) Rogelio’s crew have gone on strike – they were hilariously inspired by Rogelio’s very own time-traveling novela – and they’ll start the picket line on Friday, the day before Jane’s wedding. And the venue is the set of the show, so that’s going to be a disaster, too. Not the wedding disaster I was expecting, but a disaster nonetheless. 
7) Petra swayed Rafael by telling him she loves him… as the father of her children. Can we please be done with the Petra and Rafael thing? She deserves better.
8) The entertainer canceled on Jane, I guess we should care?
9) Rogelio struck up a deal with one of the crew members – if he lasts a week as a crew member, they’ll postpone the picket line. If the doesn’t last, then he’ll become the face of the strike. This is the most interesting storyline in this episode, to be quite honest.
10) Alba is right, though, Mateo won’t remember the party nor would he know or care who the entertainer is… a birthday party for a one-year-old is simply done for the parents. 
11) It turns out… Jane is only suggesting Rafael he should turn himself in because Michael told her that’s what she should tell him… and it feels kind of… duplicitous? Treacherous? It’s definitely questionable advice.
12) Jane gets angry when Petra shows up to her and Rafael’s entertainment scouting date to do… exactly the same Jane is trying to do… manipulate Rafael into doing what she wants him to do and what she thinks is right for him. Why is what Jane does good and what Petra does evil? Can someone explain? Why are we expected to root for Jane? It’s been two seasons and it’s getting harder and harder to see why we should side with Jane. 
13) Surprisingly, and adorably, Rogelio turns out to be quite the handyman! He does the job well, and the crew decides to make things more difficult for him… I really hope this only ends up with him being excellent at all the jobs they line up for him and deciding to support their strike anyway, even if he technically wins the bet…
Tumblr media
14) #rosmellio
Tumblr media
15) You deserve it, Petra.
Tumblr media
And Jane’s expression? She’s just as petty as Petra! She’s totally pissed she didn’t get to “win” this time.
16) Michael fell asleep reading Jane’s novel. He is honest with her, though, and tells her that the writing is good but it’s not exactly best-seller material.
17) The FBI just raided Rafael’s office and took him in, and who gave him up?
18)
Tumblr media
I do hope his fear of leprechauns is brought up again in some form!
19) So… the whole FBI raid was a set-up to trick Derek (right, that’s his name!)
20) Unfortunately, Rafael is not Petra, and he couldn’t get Derek to confess to bribing him on tape.
21) Rogelio literally faced his fear of heights to have Jane’s wedding happen and if that’s not the greatest father on television ever, I don’t know who is.
22) Jerry, the crew guy, tells Rogelio he’s keeping his promise and they will hold off the picket line to allow the wedding to happen…
Tumblr media
I’m guessing the crew won’t forget that.
23) Poor Mateo is down with something, and Jane and Rafael are staying with him at the hospital overnight. This gives Rafael the chance to fess up to Jane and tell her he gave up the Fairwick. Jane tells him she fears this might not be the end of it, and in this show, is it ever...?
24) Mateo is celebrating his first birthday at the hospital…
25) The higher-ups are firing everyone in the crew before they get the chance to go on strike, and I know Rogelio won’t disappoint me.
26) It’s nice to see Jane and Rafael connect as parents, though…
Tumblr media
You know what’s not nice? Rafael still lusting after Jane…
Tumblr media
27) Everyone who matters shows up at the hospital to celebrate his first birthday, and honestly, that’s all that matters.
Tumblr media
28) YES. ROGELIO CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST CHARACTER IN THIS SHOW AND I WILL FIGHT ANYONE OVER IT.
I have to join the picket line on Friday. (…) Telemasivo executives plan to replace them before that, and I can’t let that happen.
29) Michael has the sudden realization that the only reason Derek was so interested in getting the Fairwick is because they must’ve dug tunnels from the Marbella to there and hidden the drug money underneath it.
30) Well, there was something buried there alright…
Tumblr media
31) Derek is off on a plane and talking to someone on the phone, telling them he’s on his way with the money. I’m guessing it’s Rose, I mean, who else could it be?
32) Jane needs to get off her high horse, it’s so fucking annoying. She’s so self-righteous and sanctimonious, they’re awful traits to have… And I can’t help but feel this reaction is mostly out of spite because Petra rubbed it in her face earlier when it was her turn to win. 
PETRA: I know... it's not a competition.  JANE: Yeah, well... I'm starting to think it is, actually.  PETRA: Excuse me? JANE: And I do hope Rafael comes to me for advice more.  PETRA: What?!  JANE: Because I won't tell him to do crazy things like staging a fake FBI raid.  PETRA: Well, I was trying something at least.  JANE: The wrong thing.  PETRA: Oh, will you stop already? There is no right or wrong, Jane.  JANE: That is not true.  PETRA: So, you think it's right for him to go to jail? Look, you're an optimist, that's all, and I'm a realist, and I'm getting tired of you assuming that you're the better person.
So... Petra showed up to mend fences, and Jane is all up on her high horse, claiming that what SHE tells Rafael to do is the RIGHT thing. Yes, Petra’s plan was kind of insane - though, technically, not illegal, I think? - but she was trying to protect Rafael. Jane claims to have Rafael’s best interest at heart, but she was actually just telling him to do what Michael told her he should do. And why does she have to be so self-righteous about it? I’m on Petra’s side, I’m also tired of Jane assuming she’s the better person just because she says so. 
33) So… Anezka has been visiting Magda in prison and doing what Magda tells her to do. They’ve been working together on a plan for a whole year… what is the plan, exactly?
34) I really don’t know what to expect from the season finale. I mean, obviously, there are several plots that will reach their climax during the finale – there’s the wedding, Anezka and Magda’s plan, the picket line, Michael chasing Derek… but I have no idea how messy or satisfactory it all might turn out to be. And I have no idea what plot points they might set up for next season… I was wondering, though, how high season 2 ranks as a favorite season? Because I found it all a bit meh? Anyway, I hope the season finale delivers a fun hour, at least.
35) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!

A Top 30 Horror Movies
This is Halloween! This is Halloween! There are a lot of awesome horror movies, but I picked just 30 that qualify as my favorites. 
#30 - The Conjuring
Tumblr media
So this movie isn’t perfect. The last 20-30 minutes kinda turn into a mess as the demon gets more confrontational. But, the first 90 minutes are a near perfect slow build of tension and smart visual storytelling. All the actors do a good job, even the kids. This movie has insured I never play Hide and Clap.
#29 - Paranormal Activity 2
Tumblr media
In my opinion superior to the (still pretty good) original, PA2 moves faster than its predecessor and uses the audience’s curiosity against them in interesting ways. You’re always looking to the edges of the screen for something or someone out of place, and as the movie progresses, that curiosity rattles the nerves more and more.
#28 - The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
Tumblr media
One of the only modern horror remakes that improves and expands on the original. The Hills Have Eyes hit when I was a junior in high school. It is gleefully gorey and deranged. People die in awful ways, and the protagonist (seen above) spends most of the last half hour drenched in blood. It’s a lot of fun if you’re into that sort of thing.
#27 - Event Horizon
Tumblr media
Space Horror is a hard genre to get right. Event Horizon knocks it out of the park by getting the slow build right. There are gruesome and bloody images from time to time, but the majority of the movie is built on tension and dread. Having Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne leading the cast adds some dramatic weight to the proceedings.
#26 - The VVitch
Tumblr media
The GOAT 17th Century rural horror movie. This movie gets real weird and leaves a lot up to the audience’s imagination. The less said about it the better if you haven’t seen it. But, even for the 2010s renaissance of horror, this one stands out.
#25 - Hereditary
Tumblr media
This is a list of my favorite horror movies, not the scariest. If it were “scariest” this would be top 10, maybe top 5. The second half of this movie is some of the most uncomfortable and relentlessly horrifying storytelling I’ve ever seen. Across just two feature films, Director Ari Aster has proved himself a master of the horror genre. We’re all worse off for it.
#24 - Return of the Living Dead
Tumblr media
The first movie on this list that is more funny than scary, Return of the Living Dead is laugh out loud hilarious at times. Somehow, it still manages to be a more effective zombie movie than most serious ones. Great punk rock soundtrack and highly quotable, this is great for people who scare a little too easily.
#23 - Friday the 13th Part 2
Tumblr media
Basically improving on the original in every way, Friday the 13th Part 2 is iconic even without Jason’s hockey mask making an appearance. The killer instead keeps a lumpy bag over his head the whole time. The movie lets you know early on that its going to be ridiculous, when the Part 2 logo literally smashes through the Friday the 13th title card. Great representation of the slasher genre.
#22 - Suspiria (2018)
Tumblr media
I’m a sucker for lore in movies, and Suspiria is full to the brim with details that expand on the world. Led by great performances from Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson, the movie is highly intelligent and occasionally brutally violent. The fact that the director’s prior movie was “Call Me By Your Name” shows that he’s a talented filmmaker no matter the genre.
#21 - Halloween (1978)
Tumblr media
Michael Myers is iconic. The music is iconic. Jamie Lee Curtis is an all-time great horror leading lady. Halloween is a must watch for horror genre fans. 
#20 - Get Out
Tumblr media
This movie is so well written it won an Oscar. Get Out is both hilarious and brutally tense. The acting is awesome across the board. Who knew Jordan Peele would use his comedy talent to make a career in scary movies? 
#19 - Shaun of the Dead
Tumblr media
A classic comedy filled with so many jokes that it takes about 3 watches to catch them all. Not scary in the least, but uniquely playful in the genre. Also made Simon Pegg a star. Nothing but greatness here.
#18 - The Descent
Tumblr media
I’ll always remember my first watch of this movie. It slaps you in the face with trauma in the first 5 minutes. Then spends three quarters of an hour building tension and claustrophobia before suddenly becoming a solid monster feature. Though it fizzles a little at the end with some wtf moments, the first 3/4ths are very effecting.
#17 - Nightmare on Elm Street
Tumblr media
Nightmare on Elm Street is just a cool as hell idea for a horror movie. It takes the occasional predictability of Halloween or Friday the 13th and flips it. The kills are inventive and visually interesting, the effects are very cool, and you get to see Johnny Depp get brutally murdered. win-win-win.
#16 - Saw
Tumblr media
Saw came out at a perfect age for me. Seeing this movie at 16 was a great experience. Even as the sequels got worse and worse, the whodunnit nature of the original held up. People were literally drowning in gore by Saw 3, but this is a solid movie that knows when to tone things down. Great watch.
#15 - Evil Dead 2
Tumblr media
By turns hilarious and unsettling, watching Evil Dead 2 allows the viewer to marvel at the special effects done on a shoestring budget. Bruce Campbell is an absurd and talented physical actor, and singlehandedly carries this movie into the hall of fame.
#14 - IT Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Chopping the 1,000 page Stephen King book in half allowed the first half of the IT saga to thrive. Bill Skarsgard is a fantastic Pennywise, and the child actors all do well. A slightly repetitive series of scares keeps this one from perfection (and would be the downfall of Part 2), but its still an amazing peak of the genre.
#13 - Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Tumblr media
Fast zombies. Zack Snyder directing before his head got too big. Hilarious musical cues. Apocalyptic imagery. This movie is one of the best of the zombie genre.
#12 - Fright Night (1985)
Tumblr media
One of the most simply fun movies on this list, Fright Night is straight out of the mid 80s. It never takes itself too seriously, but it still has some good scares sprinkled in. An essential vampire movie, and the remake with Colin Farrell wasn’t half bad either.
#11 - The Omen (1976)
Tumblr media
One of my early favorites, The Omen is another lore filled film that gradually ramps up the twists until the dramatic finale. Probably one of the least scary films on my list, its built on Gregory Peck being a great actor and a few pretty messed up deaths.
#10 - An American Werewolf in London
Tumblr media
Another favorite from childhood, this is the best the werewolf genre has to offer. Made by John Landis who also did Animal House and Blues Brothers, American Werewolf balances 80s level of gore with award winning special effects and clever music (every song featured has moon in the title).
#9 - It Follows
Tumblr media
One of the newest (and most original) movies on the list, It Follows is one of a kind. It’s terrifying, has great cinematography and halfway through the movie you have absolutely no clue how it will end. Must see.
#8 - Midsommar
Tumblr media
This is absolute newest film on the list, and one I’m anxious to rewatch. Midsommar sets itself apart by being 95% in broad daylight and providing a wealth of backstory to the “bad guys”. Also Florence Pugh shows that she is an amazingly skilled actress, particularly in the final 10 minutes.
#7 - The Exorcist
Tumblr media
^That guy is scary. He’s also only in the movie for like 3 seconds. Obviously this is a classic. If you haven’t seen it and like horror at all, it will still amaze you, almost 50 years later. I would’ve loved to be a fly on the wall when it was in theaters watching people lose their minds. Still a masterpiece of the genre.
#6 - The Blair Witch Project
Tumblr media
I watched The Blair Witch Project for the first time alone in my room at age...I believe 14. That was a mistake. While the mistakes of the hikers become a bit hilarious on multiple rewatches, the night scenes are still tense af. The last 15 minutes are uniquely terror-inducing. Everybody’s seen this one, but if you haven’t, maybe watch it with the lights on?
#5 - The Evil Dead (2013)
Tumblr media
This movie is one of the most intense and relentless horror movies ever. Nail guns, rusty knives, a turkey carver, a chainsaw, a machete: people get literally ripped apart in this movie. But, here’s the thing, its really really fun to watch. You’ll be out of breath when its over, but still.
#4 - Cabin in the Woods
Tumblr media
Cabin in the Woods isn’t THAT scary. It flirts with scary. It has some shocking and frightening moments But mostly its a shitload of fun that plays on every trope of the horror genre. It also has one of my favorite final moments of any film on this list.
#3 - The Thing
Tumblr media
Underappreciated upon its release, The Thing has become the standard by which body horror is measured. Its delightfully paranoid and lets the audience sit and think as gruesome deaths pile up. 
#2 - Alien
Tumblr media
One of the first movies to terrify me, Alien is one of the greatest horror movies ever made. The monster design is iconic. The kills and set pieces are one of a kind. It has a kick ass female heroine played by Sigourney Weaver. What more do you want?
and finally
#1 - The Shining
Tumblr media
YEAHHHHHHH Here’s a brief list of iconic Shining scenes: - An elevator full of blood - The old woman in room 237 - All work and no play make Jack a dull boy - The snowy hedge maze - Here’s Johnny - Danny’s vision of the twins - The house of horrors finale featuring the man in bear costume featured above and of course - REDRUM This movie is a masterpiece, made by one of the greatest directors of all time, starring one of the greatest actors of all time and based on one of the scariest books by the defining horror author of our time. Its damn near perfect.

Next up, the episode I actually need to watch, Hairier and Scarier. Werewolf action is in, guys.
Okay, 1) be careful security peeps that this is dangerous, and 2) why would you put a frickin’ picture of the article about how this werewolf was captured by one Martin Mystery in the werewolf’s cell? That’s just asking for trouble.
~~
Okay I know I’m supposed to think Martin is using Center tech to gather information on various girls around Torrington (which, Martin please) but half of this shit wouldn’t be on any sort’ve official file, so I have to believe that he gathered this information himself and is using his Center computer to store it so he doesn’t have to keep a filing cabinet for this shit.
It might not be canon, but it’s going in the fic.
Also Martin that shirt is questionable.
“It’s not like anybody’s gonna find out” is immediately found out.
~~
Those are some filthy-ass cages, who is in charge of this shit? That cannot be ethically sound.
Poor Martin, seeing an ‘empty’ cage and choosing it just to make for an easier start. Also did he not notice his picture in the damn cage? How?
Phantom Werewolves, also able to walk on ceilings apparently. What is this a fucking Ossy? Spider-Wolf?
And after a brief struggle Martin has escaped, but gotten scratched by a werewolf. Something that has a long (modern) history of turning someone into a werewolf. There is no way Martin ‘King of the Paranormal and also Vampires’ Mystery does not know something is bound to happen here.
~~
I am gonna have to do something with this werewolf wound, because Martin as he’s being written in this fic would not be just bandaging it and going.
Also can we appreciate the fact he knows fucking everybody at this school? I’ve been to smaller schools and not known more than four people by name and he is familiar with every single person on this campus I swear to fuck. Martin Mystery, social moth.
Oh Becky is just not having it today.
Sign #1 Something is Off With Martin: Is distracted from a cute girl by cafeteria chicken. (the fact Diana doesn’t see this and immediately go “who is this person wearing my brother’s skin” is shocking)
Diana here to save her brother’s life, while Luke is here to save his girlfriend’s lunch. Both are wonderful signs of dedication.
Ooo, I’m already gonna be giving the Psi Psi Psi girls decent roles in this, and probs Tonio too I’ll see what I can do there, but I can probably get one or the other in here, notice and lure Martin from danger with a piece of meatloaf or something.
Diana, watching her brother dive-tackle some poor girl over a plate of wings: Hm, something seems odd here...
~~
Oh Martin, trying to an art model for the sake of getting a girl.
Martin pls
Martin don’t go for the taken girls, for your own sake. Also, dude, it’s Martin, he couldn’t catch a date in a trap, couldn’t attract a girlfriend with a diamond necklace on a string, back off with the territorial air.
Diana, done with his shit
Oh yeah, tempt him Diana. He’s a sibling, you know he will take any opportunity to embarrass you you give him
Diana be nice, he’s suffering enough with the itching in public.
Also how the fuck is this more embarrassing than dive-tackling somebody for their lunch?
~~
Martin pls
This boy is a disaster why do we keep him?
When you look so weird in fuchsia that cheerleaders laugh at you. And I can’t even blame them because holy shit have you looked in a mirror boy. Stay away from pinks and purples.
You know neither of these other boyfriends hold a candle to Luke. Luke was coming up all “hey, mind your manners around my girl and her lunch”, demanding politeness towards his woman, meanwhile these other two keep coming up being all territorial. Their girls deserve better. Maybe Becky’ll agree to share.
Martin’s not bad at dribbling at least, let’s see ya shoot.
Dude being rude again, like seriously pal learn to fucking chill.
Also I can understand Martin’s panic here, as he must have grown all that hair since he got dressed. He’s fuzzier than Java.
Martin panics, poor child. Just skip gym, darling, it’s fine, nobody cares, move on.
Martin’s reaction time has been shot by oncoming wolfiness
And he’s chasing after balls on all fours, snatching them up in his mouth, shaking shit. He is puddy mutt.
Really dude? That’s your response? Goddamn forget becoming a werewolf I hope the damn thing eats you. Fucking rude-ass territorial thinks he’s some shit nobody-
Damn, there’s some fucking load of jerks in Martin’s gym class. We’ll be removing some of them for reasons of fic and because really people? Nobody thinking maybe, just maybe, something is fucking off about this situation? Like this is fucking weird behavior even from Martin? Nobody is concerned? Not even on a very basic “somebody appears to be in pain, that is sad” empathy level? Nobody? Yeah, fixing that, at least one of those cheerleaders is gonna be a Psi Psi Psi girl, concerned for her brother.
Martin running around outside on four limbs, being very weird, ver dog.
Poor baby is dealing with sensory overload
Martin no. Just dive tackle the pizza guy, Martin.
People at this school, I swear.
~~
Full moon on campus and Jerkhat McGee is out and about alone...
And attacked by a fucking werewolf, joy.
~~
Martin wakes up to a lot more hair, claws, pointy ears, muddy clothes, tiny fangs, and a room even more trashed than usual.
Has realized something is up, intends to complain to MOM once he figures out what.
I refuse to believe Martin wouldn’t know what. I mean really. It’s Martin Mystery. Like he’s just going to not know the signs he’s becoming a werewolf. Like he’s not going to have had a clue what was going on from the start.
I have to admit, for a moment I thought Martin was going to jump out a window to avoid Diana seeing him all wolfy. The fact he instead jumped directly to “quick! trim the nails! shave the everything!” amuses me.
Louise, honey, I don’t mean to minimize your loss, but you’re better off without Chip. He was a jerk. You can do better. Come with me I’ll find you a nice girl, or if you aren’t that way we’ll talk to Betty about you getting a piece of Luke.
Martin having a crisis upon the reveal of Chip’s shredded jacket. Personally all I can think is that quote from Rock-A-Doodle “If I kill my nephew- would that be murder, or charity?”
Damn Martin it hasn’t been ten minutes and your nails are back to claw form
Also now he apparently stops and thinks “oh, yeah, werewolves are a thing”.
That werewolf has been moving fast, snatching up teenagers.
(one of the potential topics thrown at me was “wtf is the werewolf up to” so, I gotta figure out some sort’ve reason for this thing to be starting this particular brand of shit. I mean if it were out to start shit with Martin that’d make sense but... We’ll see. Gotta finish the episode sometime this year.)
Wolfy!Martin has a temper.
And Diana still only seems to think something is odd and not ‘something is fucking wrong here’
~~
Thankfully in this fic Martin will have back-up of the “have you met yourself? we’d believe the shrubbery were offing people before you, werewolf or no” variety. Tonio and the sorority girls are gonna be trying to figure out what size dog beds they should be investing in. (“Do we get him a flea collar?” “Maybe? Probably.” “He could’ve used one before he got fuzzy.”)
Martin running away and tying himself up so he won’t be a danger to others, because he’s a lot of things but at heart he’s a good person.
Oh now Diana is concerned. Took you long enough.
Really? Using a flashlight to investigate Martin’s room? Does the boy not own a lightswitch, what?
Werewolf Vision. And also a fourth victim.
Poor Martin is still itchy, even as a wereling. (Actually that’s another subject. It’s weird that there’s apparently a difference between being bit by and being scratched by phantom werewolves, despite that not being a thing with other varieties. Wondering if Martin not turning fully has less to do with that and more to do with his being genetically predisposed to vampirism. I mean, we saw Simone become a giant bat monster, and vampires are also associated with transformations into wolves... I don’t know, I’ll work something out, got about 12 billion thoughts)
In this Diana will not get a chance to be indignant about Martin not telling anyone he got scratched by a werewolf because she and Java will be the last to know about it, but I’ll think of something for her to say to him once she finds out.
Known he was a werewolf 24 hours and already that boy is using those athletic skills to his advantage, jumping over 7 ft walls with ease so he can run away and not hurt anyone.
*screams internally about logics and things surrounding werewolves*
(do I, or do I not, during this conversation with MOM, have Eva in the background screaming about “I was gone for two weeks!!”)
I wonder if the ‘phantom’ portion of the phantom werewolfness is passed on? Like, can werewolves made by the phantom werewolf also turn invisible? Was that shown this episode? Why am I asking, I’m gonna find out eventually. 8 minutes left so, another hour maybe?
Or, ya know, he noticed you put a tracker on his shoes and ditched them to stop you from following him.
Or at least some kinda beastie... Look more like bear tracks than wolf tracks if you ask me. Even werewolf.
The phantom wolf’s timing is amazing. Also poor Martin refusing to trust his people because he’s that worried he’s gonna end up in one of those cages. Can’t blame him either. (It’s okay, fic!Martin will not have these problems because he will have more people looking out for him)
Bitch did you not just say he wasn’t a werewolf, make up your mind. Also I think we can all agree that the idea of Martin being an ‘alpha male’ is hilarious.
Instant werewolf, just remove light
“Java help!” “No Java! If you get bitten you’ll just be another enemy!” Immediately goes to help. Werewolves are not a male-only species, Diana! Back the fuck up! Toss Martin the weapon if you wanna!
Wait so baby!werewolf Martin can jump high enough to grab the outside of the pit, while the other werewolf can’t even jump high enough to touch the bars? Is this a ‘Martin has training’ thing for a ‘Martin is better at being a supernatural creature’ thing?

Ice Skating (COC Day 27)
Day 27: Snowy Day
My mother (who was an ice skater) took my dad out ice skating when they were dating on a frozen pond. I used that as inspiration for this 8th year fic. @carryon-countdown
My other COC fics can be found here: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Word Count: 765
Baz
Snow’s cheeks were flushed but not with anger for once.
Snow was walking in the snow slowly as if he were distracted by something. He’d asked Baz to come with him but he had no idea why. They were the only two on campus during the holidays and it was Christmas Eve. He’d agreed to go because he had nothing better to do and well, it was Snow. But he wasn’t sure where this little errand was headed.
“Are we visiting Ebb?” Baz asked.
Snow shook his head.
“She’s already home for the holidays,” Snow said. 
Baz nodded.
They’d started to get along better during their quiet meals together and walks through the empty halls. Spending winter break with Snow was like a dream for Baz but he was surprised to see that Snow seemed to be enjoying himself too. Over the last few days he’d even laughed at some of Baz’s jokes. But he wasn’t sure why he was suddenly being so quiet.
“Then where are we going?” Baz asked.
Snow smiled briefly.
“You’ll see.”
Baz grumbled something unpleasant but otherwise followed Snow’s instructions. 
Eventually they’d walked so far that Baz wasn’t even sure they were still on campus. There were trees everywhere but he was pretty sure they weren’t in the wavering wood. Everything looked like something out of a wintry painting. In the distance he noticed that the snow dipped into a sort of circle.
“You mentioned you’d never ice skated before,” Snow said, shyly.
That’s when Baz realized he was looking at a frozen pond. 
It was gorgeous; surrounded by large trees and falling snow. The sun glinted prettily off the murky ice of the pond and made Baz squint. Nobody had ever brought Baz somewhere so beautiful.
“Won’t it be difficult to skate?” he asked, in awe.
Snow shrugged.
“Yes,” he said, “But if you can skate this then you can skate anywhere.”
Baz felt like he was floating on happiness.
“Thank you,” he said.
Snow grinned. 
“C’mon,” he said, “I’ll show you how.”
He raised a hand out to Baz.
Baz looked at his hand and smiled.
“All right,” he said.
He grabbed Snow’s hand and followed him to the pond.
Simon
Baz learning to skate on uneven frozen pond water was both hilarious and adorable.
Simon had found some skates lying around in the physical education equipment room a few days prior and had snagged them with this errand in mind. Lately he’d been having such a good time hanging out with Baz. He’d thought they were becoming friends and then one night they’d stayed up for hours talking and Simon realized what he felt for Baz was more than just friendly. 
Baz was finally getting the hang of it. His legs were shaking and his face was tense with concentration but he wasn’t falling flat on his arse anymore. 
“You’re doing great!” Simon called out.
Baz looked up at him and gave him a wide smile.
Simon watched as the effort made his stance shift in just the wrong way. His knees buckled and he went down hard, hands splayed on the ice. Simon skated over to him quickly and helped him up to his knees.
“I’m sorry,” Simon said, worried that Baz might have hurt his wrists, “I didn’t mean to make you fall.”
“Snow,” Baz said.
Simon started wiping slush off of Baz’s jacket.
“I’m not a very good teacher,” he grumbled.
“Simon,” Baz said.
Simon looked up and found that Baz was looking at him differently. His eyes were hooded slightly and he was looking at his mouth. Simon felt blood rush to his cheeks and stopped talking.
“Nobody has ever done something like this for me before,” he said.
“I just wanted to do something special,” Simon said.
The falling snow had caught in Baz’s black eyelashes, making the grey of his eyes brighter.
“Why?” he whispered.
“Because,” Simon whispered, bringing a hand up to Baz’s face to run his thumb over his lip, “You’re special to me.”
Baz leaned forward and kissed Simon, taking his face gently into his hands. 
Simon sighed happily and kissed him back, hands drifting to Baz’s scarf and pulling him closer. He deepened the kiss, enjoying the cool sweetness of Baz’s mouth. 
When they broke apart the snow was coming down heavier.
“Maybe we should go inside,” Simon said, “Continue this in the room.”
Baz smiled.
“Sure,” he said, “Can we come back tomorrow and keep skating?”
Simon smiled.
“Of course.”
Then they walked back hand in hand back to their room in the swirling snow.

9. Name one person on Xanga that you would be interested to be friends with. Or, if you are uncomfortable doing so, is there even anyone on Xanga that you find interesting & that you think you could be friends with? I don’t know anyone, I get all these from badsurveyshit. She seems nice, I think I’d like being friends with her
10. Is it cold enough to comfortably wear pants where you are, without getting too warm? Sure
11. What do you / does your family pay for rent? Do you think that your home is worth that amount? It’s just short of 2000 for a 3 bed 1 bath. The house wasn’t put together very well but it’s nice to not be living with my parents.
12. Are your walls pretty sound-proof or is it easy to hear other people talking even if they’re several rooms away from you?

He’s a defining musical influence and I’d love to know more about him. I don’t want to stalk him at his favorite fast food restaurants, but rather learn how he interprets his life into his music.
25. What is a site that you go to when you need a good laugh? YouTube. Vines. Repeat

More Random Thoughts (submission)
First off, Jenelle can’t quit; the Ashley’s already confirmed MTV is exercising their right to extend the current season to include a B season. She’s be breaching her contract. Not that David would allow her to walk away from his money. I think marrying him is the dumbest thing she’s done yet. He clearly showed her who he was before so why did she go through with it?! If he gave her the ultimatum marry me or break up, break up! She’s never stayed in an abusive relationship before. I wonder what’s different..That blind saying she’ll end up in the hospital and may not even leave then and that both are on crazy amounts of pills is scary. Kaiser has always been fed; I sometimes wonder if she overfed him as a baby. But he’d been in daycare all day and hadn’t eaten since snack after nap. I’m sure he was ready to eat! It would’ve been so much easier to run in and grab something. Nathan’s gf needs to have several seats. Everyone saying how happy Kai always looks with him needs to watch his special. Nathan cares about Nathan, period. He barely pays Kaiser any attention whatsoever. He didn’t even have him in his hotel room, didn’t stay in and see him after his show. Noooo, he went out partying. Not only is he every bit as self centered as Jenelle, he’s as crazy and violent as David; even More short tempered with the steroids and drinking. He’s not the solution. His mother may be. BABS!! WHY is anyone not mentioning her telling Jenelle, right in front of Jace, that he saw his therapist that day and was she telling him she was still trying to get him to live there? Everybody jumps Jenelle for taking away his safe space, but Babs does it and it’s radio silence. She should Never have done that. Sick of her getting a pass. I’d immediately become defensive too if I picked up my phone and someone screamed, HAVE YA BOOKED JACE’S PAHTY OR WHAT!?. She can’t freaking speak without screaming and it puts people immediately on edge. geez, tone it tf down! Anyway, I’m scared for all of them because David has her right where he wants her now, and he can and has dropped any pretense of putting up with anything from her, let alone doting on her.
Still so proud of Leah and how far she’s come as a parent. She actually pays attention to and listens to her kids now and I’m loving it. I felt awful when Gracie asked if it was her fault about Ali. Hopefully they followed thru on counseling asap. It’s going to be very hard for her when Ali deteriorates and ultimately passes. I worry how she’ll handle, having been influenced by Dawn et all. I hope Corey and the new Leah’s guidance can help her get and stay on a good path. In any case, her bullying of Ali has gotten out of hand and no matter the cause, it needs to be checked.
Kail, Jo supposedly didn’t work and had his parents close, when not living there (until he moved for you and his son), and Isaac had Medicaid and then Javi’s insurance. So why did you need child support again? It was hilarious when she said he filed child support out of spite. Guess she’d know! She’s filed 2 PFA’s out of spite and now she’s taking Chris to court out of spite. I’d need a long list to go thru all the spiteful things she’s done over the years. Her sole focus used to be Isaac, but now her friends and social life seem to come before her kids. She’s regressed from being 19 and staying in with her baby to having friends over 24/7. I thought it was up to him how much or little he’d be involved, that you were fine alone? Doing it alone and with no financial support? Perhaps he did something to anger you and you’re, wait for it, being spiteful? Hmmm….
Two seconds into Bri’s segment and she’s crying. There’s not one single segment all season of her where she isn’t crying and whining how stressed she is. I just can’t.
Love Aubree and Cole’s relationship and baby Watson is SOOOO cute. Look Jenelle, she goes around planning a wedding and running errands with TWO whole kids, BY HERSELF!  Freakin’ Wonder Woman over here!
On Being Simon: Other than the part where he said he could have any girl he wanted, I thought it showed him in a positive light. He does seem to really care about Farrah; I think his comments etc during her recent video were out of hurt and embarrassment for her. He and Farrah are perfect for each other. All about the hustle, traveling, partying. He’s right, he’s about the only guy whose going to deal with her crazy. And she was so much more likeable in it! If only she’d act that way all the time. Of course she had a couple of her little moments, but overall she seemed happy and easy enough to be around. Go figure.

41 Tweets For Parents Who Run On Coffee And Wine
When you’re a parent, it takes a lot to get through the day. Or maybe it just takes coffee. And wine. 
In honor of all the parents who run on these twin elixirs of life, we’ve rounded up some hilariously relatable tweets on the subject. Cheers!
If a parent tells you they don’t have a favorite they’re lying. Coffee is their favorite.
