#some random butter icons I have
Text
The gangs all here!
Hello! Now that the main cast is finished, I get to reveal some info on each of the characters. So here goes nothing!
Caine
Lovable, wacky and most of all loves to put on a good show, Caine is the host with the most of the funhouse and his performances and magic tricks are eager to give the most famous magicians a run for their money. With his butter smooth voice and over optimistic personality, he knows how to put on a good show. His personality may make him seem like a out of control ringmaster but don’t let that fool you! Despite his let loose kind of attitude, he still strives to entertain you, no matter what!
Bubble
Meet Bubble, Caine’s partner in crime and his loyal yet quite goofy co-host, always having something random to say when his best bud gets a little too rowdy. His actions may make him look like an annoying little rascal and for how annoying he may be, he has his friends back. When it’s helping to hosting a party or eating all the food that he promised is for his friends, he is the silly little rascal we all know and love.
Pomni
Pomni is a jester that always finds a way to make her friends laugh whenever they feel down. But when she is not making the audience have another trip to the loo, she can be found hanging out with her best buds most of the time but can be seen having her own personal space. She has a wild attitude that doesn’t mind causing trouble when it comes for her time to shine. And please don’t call her short.
Jax
The funhouse’s cocky and laid back inventor! This periwinkle rabbit is known for his wacky inventions that ether turn out to be a big mistake or operate successfully. When he isn’t in his workshop, he is also known to be quite the prankster! But don’t always expect him to be like that when it comes to his opinions towards his friends. Design the case, just try to stay on his chill side and not his crazy prankster side.
Ragatha
Introducing Ragatha or Rags or short, our sweet, caring and compassionate ragdoll that is quite the gamer! In fact, she has the highest scores on many of the games here, now that’s what we call talent. When there is a problem. She will be always be there to help out when trouble rises. Ether way, She is that iconic dolly that is sure to show that kindness is always the answer.
Gangle
Confident on the outside as much as shy she is on the inside, Gangle is quite the fan of musicals and everything theatre! She may look confident and brave but don’t think that’s the case! In reality, she is actually is quite a shy bunch of ribbons but when you get to know her, she may or may not dump you on her favourite musicals. Just don’t break her comedy mask.
Zooble
Chill, Groovy and quite the opposite from the rest of the gang, Zooble is sure to make you dance along to sweet mixtapes and remixes! Whereas the rest of the cast is more high energy, Zooble is more chill and has a sense of swag and is pretty competitive when it comes to games. You can tell she’s a winner! But nothing compares to her sick beats and her rockin’ remixes! When she starts the party, you know you’re in for a awesome time.
Kinger
Hailing from royal origins, Kinger is known for being abit of a coo-coo bananas kind of person with a fascination in insects and magic! Some consider him “Crazy” but despite the fact, he isn’t afraid to be brutally honest about his history and how talented he is at magic, in fact he is a pro at it! Whenever he is making snarky comments on his insects or duelling with guests with a sword in hand, he is just there to make guests smile!

Okay time to get sappy a week after the finale LMAOO
As always, The Tag is my favorite part of the season and if we get good feeds along with it? A feast. And a majority of this season was like that, and I shall highlight some of my favorite memories from throughout the season and the tag that I will always be thinking about in years to come
- This is the funniest one for me, but us being locked out of the tag during reilly’s eviction and how we discovered that just minutes before the episode started, but that didn’t stop us from live blogging anyway LMAOO.
- And then they had the AUDACITY to announce the pressure cooker was finally coming back the following week and we couldn’t even properly celebrate together so we were all just screaming into the void😭 (or the nether region lol)
- That random vegan person who dropped the season bc Felicia asked for real butter lmao??
- Omg that chipmunk account we all thought was ohthecleverness and y’all called it the squeakuel and i think this person vanished from the tag
- GOING BACK TO THE PRESSURE COOKER, THE FEEDS THAT NIGHT??? Immaculate.
- It was magic to watch that in real time with each other. The shock we were in that the hgs broke an hour and then come to find out they almost broke the original record by mere MINUTES.
- The panic every time someone we liked dropped. The collective “CORY NO”’s live rent free to me.
- Us STRESSING so badly when Cameron wouldn’t let go and then America threw it to him😭 truly was magic tho
- Watching Cory go from someone the tag tolerated to being the IT boy of the season and the tag, iconic, that speech and debate boy had those hgs clawing walls
- Cory shutting down any misogynistic or problematic comment from anyone (the 21 turned 22 year old being the most responsible person this season should be studied)
- Corswhores that’s it LMAOO
- Cory suffering from the second juror curse
- America truly being one of us
- Cirie a queen to watch live
-omg that time Cirie said “I ain’t never played with people this stupid before.” SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME
-Izzy deserved sm better from the edit, you could not escape this girl on the feeds
-The episode edits sucking for a vast majority of the season and for the houseguests (i swear i’ve never seen a season’s edit and its feeds be completely different from each other before how tf did that happen)
- Our collective hatred for the multiverse twist
- FUCKING BOWIE JANE
- Everything about Felicia really, the FBJ remix, her and Mr B (smooches), even tho she was pawned all summer watching her game was so fun
- HISAM ROBBED KING BUT HE SAVED US FROM THE REILLY CULT
- Us being split just like the house during the Izzy flip (we managed to stay more civil than twitter ever did, as we should)
- AND HOW COULD I FORGET THE JARED AND CORY FIGHT IN THE HAVE NOT ROOM???
- Two hours of Jared forcing everyone to go in circles, Cory reaching his limit, Jag coming in, Cirie coming in, Bowie just sitting there
-“Who the fuck is for real for real???”
- This exchange kills me everytime idk why
Cory: You also told me seven deadly sins was fake.
Jared: Who THE FUCK told you that???
Cory: YOU DID.
Jared: You wanna know why I told you that?
- Jared’s “YOU must’ve misunderstood.” about Matt, and then Cory’s immediate “WHOA, WHOA, NO.” Lives rent free
- “Jared, you have been yelling for forty minutes.”
- That gif of Cirie face palming as she listened to her son completely obliterate their games
- Cory’s face palm image
- This happening on a hot dog bed
- Mecole, America, and Blue all getting ready downstairs while this was transpiring upstairs LMAO
- I can literally quote and go on about this fight for hours, and im so mad i cant go back and watch the unedited version anymore (UPDATE SOMEONE UPLOADED IT ON YOUTUBE LETS GO)
- Y’all remember that assignment i did about this fight? Not only did i get a perfect score but i also got a bonus point and my prof wrote a note that i was so descriptive he wanted to watch LMAO
- The post season being less chaotic than the actual season is such a funny ending
-everyone joining cameo???
- And lastly, How did your game change for, I’m gonna say the better, when you joined the Mafia with Matt and I :D
Alright all of that highlighted, despite the chaos and the exhaustion of this 100 day season (BB gods never do this to us again oh my god) it’s been such a pleasure to open up the tag and read my morning newspaper the last three months LMAOO.
This has been the most active I’ve been in the tag thus far and with a season this all over place, it was a trip. But, truthfully, I’d do it again. You guys always make all the nonsense worth it because despite the different sides we’ve been on all season, we know this show is a train wreck and that our real enemy is always production 😭
Thank you guys again for such a lovely community these past few months, and we shall be back in few weeks tragically 🥲🫡💙
#its been quite a season 😭#despite its mediocre ending#it was fun mostly#and thank y’all for that#love you all through all the insanity fr#bb25#bbrg#this is the new tag right LMAOO

give me 10 random r&m thoughts, first things that come into your head, rn. i’m mid-s3, on e9
I never thought I'd like Rick because he was the dudebro mascot for years, and he ended up being one of my favorite characters. I was one of those people who (wrongly) assumed that the show is bad just because parts of the fandom are nuts.
I think that season three is the best season, but it's not a personal favorite because it gets a little too dark.
When Dan Harmon was designing Rick, I bet that he never imagined that so many people would be attracted to him, lol. Shouldn't have made him so tall!
It's fascinating to me how the Rick and Morty fandom is huge, but there's only about 6,000 fics on AO3 and it's rare for a fic to get more than 10,000 views. Meanwhile, fics in other fandoms like Hannibal easily break 600,000. I guess some fandoms just don't attract fanfic writers like others do.
I don't consider anything outside the series to be canon and don't read the comics because of it. This isn't just for Rick and Morty--I'm like that with every fandom.
If season one came out today, I think that Rick and Morty would still blow up because science and tech bro culture is bigger than ever. I still see Twitter bros with Rick icons and C-137 in their handles.
Nobody has to like Rick and Morty, but my fellow Adult Swim fans need to stop yelling that it should be canceled. Rick and Morty is probably PAYING for a lot of these series that they enjoy. Adult Swim canceling Rick and Morty doesn't mean that Smiling Friends gets ten seasons and a movie, it means that Smiling Friends goes bye-bye. 👋
People who call Mr. Meeseeks and the butter robot (or the show in general) "cartoon nihilism" have no clue what they're talking about. First off, they're talking about existential nihilism, not just nihilism, and second, life isn't meaningless for Mr. Meeseeks or the butter robot. They're created for a specific purpose, and they fulfill it. That's the opposite of existential nihilism. Admittedly, I think the writers were aiming for nihilism and didn't really understand it, either.
Rick isn't a sociopath and Morty isn't dumb, and I wish the marketing would stop selling them that way. I never understood where "Morty is dumb" comes from because he keeps up with Rick pretty well.
Rick and Morty is the only fandom where I've made OCs. Normally, I don't care for OCs/crossovers/AUs because I'm attached to canon, so--why would I read about an OC hanging out at a coffee shop or whatever? But Rick and Morty is a little different because an infinite number of Ricks, Mortys and other characters exist in the show. For me, Rick having a sister would be a true OC.

was really expecting that leverage au idea to go a different direction & was honestly pleasantly surprised by the jamie + zava positioning. but i thought i'd share what i thought was going to happen!
roy's getting old, so the rest of the current team is trying to find sort of an apprentice for him to train to be their new hitter and then he can eventually take over for ted as mastermind when ted magically gets suspicion off of him and can go back home to be with henry.
they find jamie. and they're like this guy is perfect. he's got that doggedness that you have roy. you could kill him and he'd still get up and kick your ass. he's perfect. and roy's like no he's a fucking prick. he can't do this job, he's only good for the old shit i was doing. he doesn't fit with this team, he's too volatile and he doesn't think with his heart. so they let him go on his not-so-merry way, but ted and beard keep an eye on him and keeley also keeps an entirely separate, secret third eye on him.
[nebulous in between times]
they get jamie back and roy starts training him, and while roy is still not fully warmed up to him is when jamie almost ruins a job by taking time out to Solve some random kid's Problem dad.
idk who would be hacker in this case though. but nate (shelley) is sterling lol.
*Griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins*
See yes yes- I also began this idea thinking like, well if Roy is the Eliot stand in (and obviously like who else would he be), then Jamie would make the perfect sense as the Quinn. The up-and-comer bruiser who thinks he can take on The Roy Kent. He does well when he catches Roy off guard at first but then we have the iconic Quinn line-
“Why won’t you go down?!”
So yes I started there but then it occurred to me: the sass, the clothing, the obnoxious quality to talk at length, the younger guy who looks at Roy in a ‘no really are you an antique?” way. The one who can’t believe the cops are using cassette tapes for surveillance. The one who is casually charming and makes friends and enemies whenever he’s undercover. The one who lied about stealing Roy’s sandwich and feels no shame (it was a damn good sandwich).
(“D-E-D dead baby.” “D-e-a-d.” “I know how it’s spelled. I can hack a bank, I can spell ‘dead.’”)
It’s Jamie.
But the BUTTER ON THE BREAD THE THING THAT SEALED THE DEAL FOR ME IS THAT THIS MEANS JAMIE WOULD GET TO RUN THE BRIEFINGS. IN THAT ACCENT. WITH HIS UNIQUE BRAND OF TALKING.
“Now our client’s ex is this posh twat named Danthony. He’s worth eleventy billion dollars and his taste in classic cars is a fucking joke. The good news is his shell companies are messier than Roy’s chest hair, so it wan’t hard to find where he stashed the money. I also found some embarrassing footage from when he auditioned for Love Island *plays video* it was not fire.”
#and then they go steal a reality show#*cue thiefy bass music*#ted lasso#leverage au i’ll never write#and also in my scenario they don’t have a narrative Sterling#because the one it should’ve been - who’s as smart if not smarter than Ted who worked with ted who plays chess?#that’s Beard#and in another life Beard could have been Sterling#but he isn’t. and Ted’s the one who helped him. so he chose ted

Hi!! I really like your blog and it’s great to find an active Hobi blog. I just got into BTS this past month and was wondering if you had recommendations or favorite Jhope (and overall BTS) content/videos to check out for a complete beginner! Even though I’ve casually listened to BTS since 2015/2016, I didn’t follow them or even know all their names/faces well... until recently I watched a couple of Jhope’s stages and was like damnnn, I need to know him and the whole group more!! Iconic stages, funny videos, interesting interviews, whatever you enjoy :) Thank you!
thank u so much thats very sweet 🥹<33 im very honored that youve chosen to ask me this because this is a biiig question n i shall do my best🫡 ok well firstly, i think it would be insane to not start off with hobipalooza
his lollapalooza set can be watched in full here, which u might have already seen, but for an added bonus u can listen to his albums hope world + jack in the box, THEN watch his lolla set to really get a feel for how he brings his songs to life while performing them. his music is great but for me his true stardom lies in his performance and stage presence and hobipalooza will tell u everything u need to know about jhope as a performer 🥹🤩
just some of his many iconic solo performances:
more + arson at the 2022 mnet asian music awards (+ future)
the only live performance hes done of on the street 🥲
also the dynamite + butter performance from that same day just cus u can see the pure joy in his face and the love he has for performing 🫂 despite them both being songs that he originally had less than like 10 seconds of lines in each
his performance and interview on iu's palette my beloved
all of his just dance performances are amazing and consistent but heres a good fancam
as for bts group performances i think its best to look at their older songs as he has not had many lines in their recent releases :/ some that i really love:
mic drop is kind of known as his song, heres their snl performance, most recent performance of it, and another favorite of mine hehe
outro: tear specifically his verse at the end (around the 4 minute mark)
chicken noodle soup at the 2021 muster, its jhopes song but they performed it all together
boy meets evil + blood sweat & tears at 2016 mama
idk im drawing a blank but honestly any of their old concerts or fanmeets/musters are really great. you can find a lot of them here
some dance focused videos since hes the main dancer 🫶
any of his old hope on the street videos that i miss so dearly. theyre just videos of him freestyling for a while and he does it so effortlessly and its rly satisfying to watch. 2020, 2021, with jimin, with jungkook
the iconic no more dream dance break 🙇
this random dance performance 3j did i use to watch this on a monthly basis
another 3j dance video of the megan thee stallion butter remix
i feel like its kinda obvious but i also want to recommend his music videos since theyre all rly amazing but some of my favs are more, daydream, chicken noodle soup, and on the street
ok im gonna stop cus this is getting long and i dont want to overwhelm u but im also definitely forgetting stuff,, everyone else feel free to add stuff in the replies!! anyway i hope this helps!
#my memory is actually so horrible lately but i really tried lmao 😭#but congrats on beginning the process of devoting urself to jhopeism <3#i hope u have fun watching these!!#mail

Reviewing Minecraft's Original Creatures!
Frankly speaking, I’d be surprised if there was anyone reading this article that was totally unaware of what Minecraft is. You AT LEAST know it’s that block game where you do two things that may or may not be mining and crafting. I’ll spare you the introductory summary of what the game is. So let’s just get right into the creature discussion part.
Despite being a game limited to a voxel-based, low texture resolution artstyle, Minecraft still has some iconic monsters and ambient critters on display – referred to as mobs, if it slipped your mind. A large number of the early days’ mobs were more basic things like cows and chicken, with monsters being limited to skeletons and giant spiders for the most part, but even in Minecraft’s earlier days some more original ideas have been sprinkled in. Original fantasy beasts are Minecraft’s bread and butter nowadays, for better or for worse, but some still stand out as being noteworthy enough for me to want to discuss. As such, here’s an article where I talk about some of Minecraft’s original mobs, and what I like about their designs!
Creeper
One of Minecraft’s first mobs, and easily its most iconic. It’s likely common knowledge now that Creepers are the result of a coding error that resulted in a pig having its body rotated upright rather than flat, and the game’s creator finding the shape amusing enough to reuse as its own creature. It’s amusing that in some cases you really can’t plan for success, it’ll just happen upon you spontaneously. Like a sudden Creeper attack!
Creepers are infamous for their silent nature, only making themselves known as they begin to detonate and explode right next to you. This pattern, as well as the idea that Creepers are apparently similar in texture to crunchy, dried leaves, has lead people to believe that Creepers are actually botanical monsters that explode in order to spread their seeds or spores on random passerby as a means of carrying them to new locations. Sounds like a solid enough biological explanation to these upright boomsticks to me, and it’s really not that unheard of in the real natural world.
Ghast
Another one of Minecraft’s earlier creations is the Ghast, a huge, flying entity that calls the hellish Nether dimension its home. It’s immune to fire and lava and shoots explosive bombs from its mouth, and wears what appears to be a forlorn, tearful expression and makes pathetic whimpering and groaning sounds when idle. Fits its brimstone home well, if you ask me. I always found its design interesting, even if its nature as a flying projectile-shooting enemy made it really annoying to come across in-game. The Nether often being filled with fog and open air, as well as Ghast’s impressive detection range means you may often hear one’s moaning or be barraged by its bombs without even seeing it, which it quite the effective surprise attack.
Airborne jellyfish with crying faces wouldn’t be my first thought when thinking of enemies to populate a Hell World with, but I’m glad the Ghast is what we ended up with.
Silverfish
It’s funny that some people first heard of Silverfish from Minecraft and believed them to be a wholly original creation of the game, and while Minecraft’s mobs are creative visually, they take their name from real arthropods that can often be found alongside other harmless household bugs. Minecraft’s Silverfish though are irritating little buggers that disguise themselves as, or hide within, random blocks in cave and old ruin walls, popping out if a player tries to mine them. Silverfish also seem to have some kind of alarm system, since waking up one will cause several from the surrounding area to pop out and attack you too. The game marks Silverfish-infested blocks as Monster Eggs strangely enough, meaning they may use rocks to incubate in, somehow.
Silverfish always struck me as having a coarse, hairy texture of some kind, given their numerous pixelated frills. It’s all the more to their irritating nature, really. Do you think anyone’s favorite mob is the Silverfish? Has anyone tried figuring out a deep explanation as to the Silverfish’s biology and reproductive habits, and why they always gather around Stronghold ruins?
Endermen
Is Slenderman still like, known in the public consciousness? Do kids who have started playing Minecraft in the past 8 years or so know that the Endermen are a reference to an old SomethingAwful creepypasta guy since past his prime?
Regardless, the Endermen are another of Minecraft’s more iconic monsters, infamous for their weird, inquisitive nature, and neutral behavior, lest you stare them in the eyes. Endermen seem to be the resident Aliens of the Minecraft world, hailing from the space-like End dimension, and curiously picking up and placing blocks around the world much like a new player would. They’ll unhinge their jaws in rage when spotted though, and get aggressive as a growing roar emanates all around the player. That’s what heightens the whole alien angle, that they really don’t want to be seen.
Amusingly, Endermen also take damage from water, and will instantly teleport away if they touch it. This has the side effect of Endermen rapidly teleporting all over the map during rainfall, helplessly trying to find something to protect from the falling water. They can also be found in the Nether, and likely enjoy it better there as no water can exist.
Mooshroom
A fully passive mob this time, but the Mooshroom are a peculiar creature exclusive to the incredibly rare Mushroom Island biome. These islands are so overrun with fungi that all the vegetation has been replaced with mycelium, the root network between vast growths of fungus, and giant mushrooms. This extends to even the wildlife, since all the local cows have apparently entered a mutualistic relationship with mushrooms as well. It’s neat way to sort of imply some natural backstory to your world, that an island in the middle of the ocean was overtaken by some freak fungus and got the local wildlife to acclimate to its introduction.
Mooshroom are able to live peacefully on the island, and can even breed to make baby Mooshroom already covered in fungus, so they seem to be connected on a deep level. Despite that though, one quick use of some shears will return the cows to normal and give you some edible ‘shrooms as a reward. They’re a pretty odd inclusion, though enjoyable for the absurdity.
Even stranger, you can milk Mooshrooms as well, but what you’ll get is not lactic fluid, and is instead mushroom soup. However that works, it’s just a further signifier of these things’ weird, altered anatomy.
Blaze
Fellow residents of the Nether alongside the Ghast, Blaze are weird fire elementals that occupy ruined Nether Fortresses scattered around the dimension. What exactly they are is anyone’s guess, but they seem to be made of a physical material rather than living fire, since they drop an item called Blaze Rods, likely being the objects that orbit them. They make metallic wheezing sounds too, as if wearing some kind of mask or filter. This is one of those times the limited artstyle really holds back a design, because I’d like to know what the hell Blazes were intended to be, if anything. Maybe some day we’ll know, those designers love doing lore reveals these days.
Wither
The Wither is one of Minecraft’s two boss monsters, and easily the more interesting of the two. Not only do you have to summon it yourself, by building a golem-esque shape for it, but seems to have more purpose in its behavior than fellow boss Ender Dragon does. Once summoned, the Wither will actively hunt down any living mobs in its radius and kill them, and will destroy almost any blocks blocking its path in doing it, rather than just flying around aimlessly like the dragon does. Its design isn’t spectacularly detailed or complex, but the enjoy the idea of a charred, three-headed spinal column and ribcage embodying some big bad demon of death or the like. It’s simple and effective.
Guardian
The Guardian’s a weirder one, and definitely closer to the top of my potential list of favorite mob designs. This current list is ordered chronologically. As the name implies, Guardians are protections of rare underwater ruins you can find peppered in Minecraft’s oceans. Guardians resemble weird, cycloptic pufferfish, which is already a good start to a design. However, their body color and cracked texture greatly resembles the blocks their ruins are built with. Alongside their ability to shoot long-range lasers from their eyes and inability to be found anywhere besides the ruins, many players believe Guardians may be artificial in nature, created to protect whatever’s inside their Ocean Monument homes. Which is usually just gold treasure.
Guardians also make low, ominous drones when in the water, likely as a method of intimidation. If you get one out of water and on land though, it’ll comically squeak as it flops around pathetically, looking for more water to hop in.
There’s also Elder Guardians you can find in deeper chambers of the monuments, twice the size of the normal guys. They have a freaky ability to inflict various debuffs that will prevent players from just mining through the monument’s walls to get treasure, forcing them to actually spelunk through it, which is a smart touch. I like that it does so by swirling a ghostly image of itself around your vision. The paler colors and eye looking as though it has a cataract are nice ways to make it seem ‘elder’ as well.
Shulker
Shulkers are inhabitants of the End dimension like the Endermen are, though only occupy strange End Cities and End Ships which dot the landscape of the weird space of tiny floating landmasses. They seem to be a living protection system like the Guardians and even Silverfish to an extent, since they disguise themselves as regular blocks only to shoot at intruders with projectiles that inflict a levitation status of all things.
What do you think the Shulkers are analogous to? I always thought they were some clam-type mollusk monster, personally. They fit the archetype, only taking significant damage once opening their shell and exposing their core.
Phantom
Phantoms are really cool mobs conceptually and from a design perspective, and it irritates me how annoying they are in-game since it really cuts into their appeal factor. Phantoms are sky-faring stingray-like monsters with bony patterns on its back (or even better, exposed bones, since they’re classified as undead) and tattered wings with a nice blue color and glowing green eyes. They only show up if the player hasn’t slept in three days, steadily growing in number and even size for every night that hasn’t been slept through. They scatter once daylight comes, since undead mobs burn in the daylight, but return soon after. Their circling flight patterns and affinity for sleep-deprived players, as well as a distinctive chomp sound playing when they attack, makes them feel like vultures and over scavengers, looking for an easy exhausted target to pick off and feast on.
Phantoms are just really irritating since in Minecraft, there’s hardly a reason to sleep other than setting your respawn point or fastforwarding to daytime to avoid hostile mob spawning. If you’ve spent a long time exploring or spelunking and just haven’t had to the need to sleep yet, be prepared to get pestered by a bunch of Phantoms on your way back home. They’re near impossible to hit in the air, so you just have to wait for them to swoop down to counterattack, and you can only do so once or twice to boot.
HONORABLE MENTION: Barnacle
I would’ve killed for more aquatic beasts to be put in the game, and the Barnacle here would’ve fit that niche had it won the popularity vote for its inclusion to the game. Phantoms won the vote instead, and while I can at least take solace in their resemblance to ocean creatures like stingray, I’ll forever be scorned that the Barnacle was forgotten. Why NOT include it anyways, just at a later date. It was COOL. It’s a weird sea monster with a blooming flower mouth and grappling tongue. It’s the perfect off-key deep sea ship-sinker, and looks to fit pretty well to the artstyle too. I hope it was planned to act like a mimic to the existing Squid mobs, with its jaws closed and trailing appendages resembling tentacles, only to snare unsuspecting players who swam or rowed their boats too close. Would’ve been EPIC.
Zoglin
Ever since the Nether’s introduction to the game, its fiery wastes were populated by Zombie Pigmen; humanoid pigs that were also zombies, but were actually completely neutral to players and wouldn’t attack unless provoked. That’s since changed, with Piglins now inhabiting most of the Nether and building their own structures, analogous to the overworld’s peaceful humanoid villagers.
What’s interesting though is that the Nether also saw the inclusion of most beastly Hoglin monsters, giant warthogs that live in forests made of overgrown mushrooms and are hunted by Piglins. When Hoglins are taken out of the Nether and into the Overworld, likely by coaxing them through a portal, something in the dimensional change morphs them into half-rotten zombies outright. The same thing happens to normal Piglins too, which is more concerning considering how sentient they are by comparison.
Anyways, I wanted to draw attention to Zoglins specifically because I really liked how they’re designed while remaining fitting with Minecraft’s style, in my opinion anyways. The half-exposed skull and ribcage are pretty morbid, and whether or not its got green blood or has just been rotting extensively, the green edges to its flesh are sickening, though neat details. The comb of dark hair on its back falling flat, where the normal Hoglin’s stood straight up, is also a clever detail to communicate how dead they are. Zombie warthogs aren’t most games’ first choice when it comes to undead monsters, but these are neat.
Strider
The same update that included the Zoglin also included the Striders, the Nether’s first totally harmless mob! These weird walking heads are able to cross vast pools of lava without a care in the world, actually seeming to live comfortably in the heat above all else, since they’ll shiver and turn blue when outside molten rock. They’ll even die outright if they touch water!
I really appreciate how weird they are for a peaceful critter, with their wide mouths, big foreheard, and scraggly hair strands. The bottoms of their legs being charred and hardened from being dipped in lava all the time is a good touch too.
Warden (and Skulk)
Minecraft’s always had more unnerving elements to it, especially with Creepers always being prided on their sudden appearances and caves being unnerving for hiding who-knows-what in the darkness. Things came to a head in 2022 though with the introduction of Skulk and the Warden. Skulk is weird, moss-like growth that covers other blocks and builds vast deposits of itself in extremely deep caves, and making most light sources ineffective thanks to its dark color. What’s especially noteworthy, and what I find most appealing about it, is its apparent attachment and diet of experience points, of all things. Mobs in Minecraft drop EXP points when killed of course, and if close to a special Skulk block, will be consumed and turned into more Skulky moss to spread in the surrounding area. The Skulk Catalyst block responsible even has a bony texture to it, playing up its morbid qualities. Skulk, when broken, will just yield raw EXP with no material anyways, as if that’s all it’s truly made of.
If you’re careless enough around vast Skulk deposits, you may alert a Skulk Shrieker, causing a howl to emit and alert the Warden to your presence. Do this enough times and it’ll claw out of the ground like a zombie and search for you. It’s blind, so can only listen for your movements, but that’s a classic trope that makes it so you can never be perfectly certain of its movements and whether or not it’s caught notice of you or not. Its unusual, wobbly animation also adds to its uncanny factor and how out of place it is for unsuspecting players. If given the opportunity I’ll criticize other mobs included in recent updates for their more high quality and flexible animations, but on the Warden, who is supposed to feel out of place and unnatural, it makes enough sense. It’s uber-strong too, with enough health that developers admitted they didn’t think players should even try to fight it and just escape. They specifically likened it to a natural disaster rather than a boss, which I think is quite the effective way to communicate the destructive power of your monster.
As a design, the Warden is super strong too. It seems to be made of the same material as the Skulk is, with its body being primarily dark, bluish ooze and slime, with its arms and torso having bony bits to them too. The gaping frown its got is sick too. The open ribbed hole in its chest, exposing a flashing pit like a heartbeat is a great touch for a horror monster as well, and the fact the hole is filled with little screaming spirits is a cherry on top. I could totally understand if someone felt the Warden was over-the-top and maybe trying too hard with its creep factor, but I totally dig it.
Ha! Dig! Like mined craft! Gottem!

✨ STAN ✨ and ✨ KYLE ✨ and ✨ KENNY ✨ for the ask game pls :)
I already did Stan and Kyle!!! And here's the ask meme link :3
KENNY,,, :)
Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual! If Stan is the lord of bisexuals Kenny is the lord of pansexuals (well,, throne shared with Jimmy)
Gender Headcanon: Kenny feels like a solid genderfluid to me, and I think he figured it out pretty young but doesn't bring it up much to anyone for a while. When they finally do, it's mostly to close friends. He just doesn't care about everyone knowing, though it's obvious she's queer to most people- There's no real attempt to hide it even if he rarely outright says it, but they feel pretty validated when his friends use his pronouns (she/they/he,,, maybe it too?)
Also fond of Kenny being transfem! She/they pronouns.
A ship I have with said character: Stendylenny as I said for Kyle and Stan is still my fav, but K2 is really high up for me for Kenny, I feel like they really support and take care of each other well. Kenny makes Kyle relax and take care of himself and Kyle makes Kenny act less self destructive and take care of themself. Iconic duo. Stenny and Kendy are also really good, and I've been taking an interest in Kenman too lately. Also Twenny, bunny, and crenny are cute! and I've like kenny x clyde when I've seen it.
A BROTP I have with said character: KENMAN they're so fucking funny and terrible together. Just absolute menaces,, I think their friendship isn't the healthiest but it's pretty interesting. Also bunny!!! They're a cute friendship, though I kinda tend to see them as somewhat unhealthy as well, with Butters often putting Kenny on a pedestal which can be harmful to them both.
A NOTP I have with said character: Can't think of any ummmm. yeah idk
A random headcanon: Gets really into the sciences in high school, Kyle kinda pushes them too when he realizes how much Kenny just isn't applying himself. But he shocks everyone with how capable he really is, and eventually gets a full scholarship in some lesser known university. I also really like the idea that she's close to both of her sibs, Kevin included :)
General Opinion over said character: Loveeeee Kenny. Wish the show used him more. Kind of dislike how the fandom compares them to Stan and Kyle as exceedingly better, always moral, always smarter, etc than them but that's not Kenny's fault, and I can understand the appeal of Kenny being kind of overlooked by everyone, especially compared to their friends, but having a ton of potential and goodness. I'm just a little sick of the trauma comparing or the way he's treated like he's always perfect and can do no wrong but eh, not their fault and I still love her.

S2 rewatch highlights!
(this is like my 7th time rewatching the show and I’m still finding things lmao)
Episode 1
Omg there are a lot of vans in this show, huh? Kali’s gang, Hopper’s police van, Argyle’s van lol
AWW Mews oh no baby
Dustin the mediator, calling all the boys haha
Will’s so tiny AHWGHGEHF
Hop’s pretending to be clueless about Murray for El oh my heart 🥺
Also I feel like I had no idea what Murray was talking about but now in hindsight I do lmao
AWWWHAJHJHJ Joyce was sewing the Ghostbuster’s costume in the store I missed that OHIFHKD so sweet
OH Bob I miss him. I legit do. He made Joyce happy. :((((((
AWW Nancy already anticipates what Jonathan’s going to do on Halloween night!! Oh the sweet intimacy they’re learning about each other
Also HMMM a slight parallel as Nancy pushes Steve away to stop kissing her like Mike does to El in the beginning of s3?
“I don’t know. He’s quiet today.” MY BABY
OH that car ride with Joyce and Will hurts so much. Can we start a #hugsforWillByers or something I need it
“Peanut butter and chocolate, hard to beat that” - hold up, Owens, Reese’s Pieces are just peanut butter. (However, M&Ms are chocolate. And I wonder what Mike’s favorite candy is…)
Eulogy and Barb ahdjhfdhfjkdfd - and with Mike as he looks over at El’s hideout… my god Mike thinks she’s dead
HAAH I like how Dustin parks his bike like it’s a car
AWHHH it’s Jonathan’s night to pick but he lets Will pick - I bet he does that every time
Hmm I wonder why the Byers’ house interior wasn’t covered in vines when Will had that second vision. Was it always like that? Last we saw briefly in s1, the bathroom had vines. Maybe it’s just Henry being dramatic, but the inconsistency around the Byers’ house might be important? Idk
Episode 2
I wonder how in the world the gash in the chalkboard from the demogorgon was explained lol. Eh whatever, I’m sure the boys found some crazy excuse.
HOLY- Mike’s complicated grief just hit me. Like he saw her, he did, but it could have very well been a trick of the light as far as he knew, and so I really think he was going through depression here as he thought El was dead holy shit
OH the way that the slight scare of Will being gone got me - the emphasis of Joyce’s anxiety was really poignantly done here!!!
AWH Will being the mediator in The Party
Oh my gosh wow, I missed that Joyce took Will to Chicago. I can only imagine how many places she tried to go to help Will. Will must be so tired :(((((
AW Jopper in high school <3
Tell me why I look at Joyce and just want to cry. Every time this season. #hugsforJoyceByers too pLEASE
Oooo the light between Nancy and Steve in that private library room! It’s like they’re so close but so far, a light divides them and is ironically separating them despite being a “light” in between them
Lucas and Dustin are SO iconic omg, both of them made me guffaw this episode
HAHA AW Dustin warning the guys “don’t cross the streams” - reminds me of how Dustin yells at the random student “wear a helmet!” In s4 lol
Oh my heart. Bob doesn’t minimize Joyce’s feelings, and he thinks about her word and her worries, wanting to take her away from the town full of trauma. Just <33333
I literally have nothing to say about the crazy together scene other than they’re boyfriends, your honor. Literally this scene had me on their radar.
UGH Jonathan’s such a gentleman, taking off Nancy’s shoes
Interesting how Mike didn’t stay in the hideout! Did he not really see El??? Mike???

Your page is very beautiful and aesthetic can you tell me how you did it 😌.. I'm new user I don't know how to use Tumblr yet everything is so confusing here 😅😅 .
🌷 Hi there! Thank you for saying this because I actually enjoy customizing my tumblr and creating these banners even though I am not an artist or anything? Hahaha *shy* 😊. I actually don’t know how to describe or give instructions on tumblr customization. But you can try checking tumblr’s tutorial pages?
WIll try to help as much as I could but I am not an expert so please bear with my attempt to explain it below the cut
🌷 I think first step is to choose a theme?
It’s not required and honestly my main blog is just the classic tumblr theme. I just change the color schemes depending on the banner I’ve chosen. I also prefer the grid view so I can see around 4 columns of content since that is my main blog for posting fangirling content + ongoing fics + random stuff. For ggukkiereads, I really prefer if content is posted per column and I decided to choose from different theme creators!
My theme is from https://seyche.tumblr.com/ and I just customized the colors, the padding, the links, the icons. There are other theme sites though and you can actually search on tumblr for other sites (just type blog themes to find the others). Here are others you can browse:
https://xuethms.tumblr.com/
https://seyche.tumblr.com/
https://cactusthemes.tumblr.com/themes
https://amboise.tumblr.com/tagged/codes
https://sheathemes.tumblr.com/tagged/sheathemes
https://pirateskinned.tumblr.com/terms
https://sorrism.tumblr.com/tagged/theme
https://odeysseus.tumblr.com/tagged/*mine
https://nonspace.dev/tagged/nnspc%20codes
https://kosmique.tumblr.com/codes
https://mercurythms.tumblr.com/tagged/*codes
Important!!! Please check their terms and conditions before downloading theme codes
THERE ARE MORE SITES and I am not keeping tabs of every theme site. However, I remember following one blog that reblogs or features themes from different creators. I will find the blog site and edit this so you can also follow and get their recommendations =)
🌷 banners and profile pictures
For banner making, I just use Canva. My pfp is butter Joonie/sugakitty which I had commissioned and I can just change or use them in all banners as I wish. There’d be banners on twitter too for profile layouts that you can use for free but they are usually for twitter layouts. If you like some you can ask the artist if you can use the profile photo or banner for tumblr instead of twitter.
If you need to remove a background, there is a free bg remover online.
Note: important to give credit to the source. In my blogs, I usually document where I get the photos, etc.
🌷 color schemes
I just used Canva for the color codes (hex codes). Tumblr will also suggest a color palette when you’re choosing the blog colors. I guess just experiment and have fun with it? See what colors you like or speak to you.
🌷 mobile
Please note that sometimes your desktop theme will look different on mobile. And this gives me headaches and I am not prepared to give tips because it’s a “let’s wing it” process for me when setting my mobile theme. I guess try simple themes first? Then once you are confident with theme changing, you can start customizing more details of your blog for mobile (you have to use customize for mobile link which you can find on your dashboard settings)
🌷 hyperlinks on your BIO
This requires codes but if you are not comfortable to link sites yet, then not required to use this. But if you see on my blogs my bio has linked description, right?
These are codes you need to remember when organizing your Bio:
I hope it’s not confusing or that I’ve been a bit of a help? Feel free to DM me on my main if you wish to chat more about this =)

Just Out of Reach Art & Ch 10
Scroll all the way to the bottom for some concept art. (The art is a spoiler for this chapter and this chapter only)
Here is the tenth chapter of Just Out of Reach, my psychological horror fic centering around Patton.
Please keep in mind that this chapter contains blood and descriptive injury and that this will be a common theme going forward.
Patton grins as he reached for the brightly decorated sprinkle shaker that Virgil had knowingly gotten out. His eldest son seemed pleased with Patton’s predictability as the teen dumped a generous pile of mini cookies onto his own serving of frozen dessert.
Virgil sneakily tossed another large handful of the mini cookies into his mouth. His partially purple bangs hung loose over his eyes, covering what little of his eyes weren’t smothered in smeared black eyeshadow. He had traded his usual hoodie for a light black sweatshirt with hand cut holes ripped into random spots along the sleeves. Cheshire Cat themed socks were hidden beneath baggy gray jeans. He had a variety of odd rings on his fingers and a couple of silver earrings matched.
“I’m gonna add Crofters,” Virgil said with a lopsided grin directed at his daunting bowl of more toppings than ice cream. “Channel my inner Logan.”
Patton silently raised his eyebrows at Virgil’s concoction of what appeared to be peanut butter, gummies, cookies, chocolate syrup, mints, some mini taffy candies, and then a large dollop of Crofters. It was quickly becoming more of a sugary sludge and less of a bowl of ice cream with a few add ins.
Well, if he could stomach it without getting sick, Patton could just watch and wonder how.
Besides the ones Virgil was adding, there were all sorts of condiments for their ice cream, from chocolate chips, caramel syrup, cherries, whipped cream, yogurt chips, strawberries, and Patton’s personal favorite, the iconic rainbow sprinkles.
The younger kids were all tucked into bed, worn out from a long day of playing, bickering, and painting rocks for the garden out front. Patton was tempted to set up the bonfire while the paint dried, but they’d already done it earlier that week, and the kids looked pretty tired anyway, so he elected to do it some other time.
This left Patton and Virgil to spend some quality Father-Son time with each other, which Patton was pretty happy about. He so rarely got to enjoy spending time with Virgil one on one, the busy teenager didn’t demand too much attention, but Patton knew he could use some from time to time.
His oldest kid was so special, and their relationship meant to much to Patton. The easy conversations, how well they got along, and the genuine enjoyment Virgil expressed when they spent time together. It was so rare that a seventeen-year-old hardcore emo kid would enjoy his dad’s company, but Virgil was never one for the status quo.
After Virgil had insisted on carrying and tucking in a sleepy Logan into bed, he had whispered a suggestion about getting some ice cream, so they ordered it to have it delivered, and twenty minutes later they were enjoying their favorite flavors. Patton had gotten mint chocolate chip while Virgil opted for a coffee flavored one.
Once settled with their ice cream and nearly done adding their toppings (some people more than others), Virgil suggested playing a board game, and Patton readily agreed.
Though unfortunately, this happened as Patton was adding some sprinkles to his ice cream, and the shaker lid decided to give out right as he was nearly satisfied with the amount of colored sugar he’d scattered over his ice cream. The entire remains of the rainbow sprinkles dumped from the container in one quick flood, covering his dessert with more sprinkles than there was actual ice cream.
They were both silent.
“I, uh, I guess I like my ice cream really crunchy?” Patton tried weakly.
At least it made Virgil laugh hard enough to knock over the caramel syrup and spill that on the floor, where it splattered and pooled over the tile, resulting in a far larger mess.
“Alright, I think we’re even now.” Virgil sighed as he grabbed a fistful of paper towels. Patton laughed and fetched a few rags.
They cleaned up pretty quickly, played some competitive card games, finished their slowly melting ice cream, and went to bed late, promising to do something fun again soon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Daddy,” a tiny voice whispered as Patton felt the end of his cardigan being very politely tugged on. “Look.”
“Just one second, Kiddo,” Patton quickly finished tucking a cotton sheet into place, smoothing the end over the bed he was making. The cherry red sheets, much like Remus’ green ones, were exactly to Roman’s taste, and he had learned that Roman refused to go to bed without some type of pajama/bedding theme.
“Look! Look!”
Patton smiled and looked down at the toddler, who was holding something behind his back.
“What do you have there, Logan?” he chuckled.
Logan was rapidly shifting his weight from one foot to another, barely containing his glee. “Vee gave me a new book!” he squealed as he revealed a large hardback book, covered in cartoon animals.
“Wow!” Patton cheered. “Would’ya look at that! Those animals are so cute! Is it a zoo themed book?”
“No.” Logan said, scandalized, he pointed at the front of the cover gravely. “It’s a rainforest book, Daddy. I already have a zoo book, and an ocean book.”
“Oh, I see.” Patton nodded. “You’re very right, I can see that now. Virgil picked a very interesting rainforest book then.”
“Yeah, but Vee is going to the mall today, so he couldn’t read it to me ‘till later, but I want to see the animals.”
“Aw, well it looks like we should do something about that huh?” Patton grinned as he fixed the pillows on Roman’s bed.
Logan’s big brown doe eyes squinted with suspicion.
Patton ruffled the little kid’s mop of curls. “How about I read it to you? Then you can do it again when Vee comes home?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes! I want to hear about the rainforest animals!” Logan said, practically dancing with the book held close to his chest.
“You want to read about the big strong animals in the rainforest? Those giant monkeys and jaguars” and lions!” Patton playfully growled as he suddenly scooped Logan up off the ground, tickling and gently jostling him until Logan was squeaking and laughing and kicking, all with the book secured in his grip.
“There” Logan was nearly laughing too hard to form words, “are no— Daddy! Sto-o-o-p!“ he giggled and thrashed, “No lions in the rainforest!”
“You sure about that?” Patton said as he poked Logan’s sides. “Because I think one is coming for you! Ready to catch you and tickle you!”
“No!” Logan squealed. “Not possible!”
“What about an anaconda!” Patton gasped in mock horror as he held Logan close to his chest and squeezed him in a tight hug, earning another round of toddler giggles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dad.” A child’s voice whispered above him, cutting through the silence that was previously his wonderfully restful sleep.
Patton blinked blearily, trying to process who was speaking to him while pulling himself out of his slumber.
“Pss. Dad.” Another voice from the opposite side of the bed joined in.
“Hmm?” Patton groaned as he rubbed his eyes, trying to pull himself from a deep sleep.
“Dad. Pops. Daddio. Father. Papa. Daddy. Dad. Dad. Wake up. C’mo-o-o-on” The voice on his left shook his shoulder impatiently.
“Roman?” Patton asked, confused and sleepy.
“Me too!”
Patton turned, finding Remus on the other side of his bed, frowning from the lack of attention.
“What are you two doing? What time is it.” Patton said, finally sitting up.
“It’s time to play with the sprinkler, Dad.” Roman said in a stage whisper.
Patton blindly reached for his glasses until he could find and put them on. He stared at the clock until a full minute passed, then he looked back at either of twins, eyebrows crinkled.
“Boys,” Patton said slowly, “it is 7:13 in the morning.”
Roman nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! And 7:13 is sprinkler time! You said we could play with it last week!”
Patton pinched the bridge of his nose. “Honey, that was last night, and I did not mean for it to be before we’ve even had breakfast.”
“But we’re ready!” Roman insisted.
“What-”
Roman took a quick hop backwards, “We’re already in our swim trunks!” he said, pointing at his bright red swimsuit.
Patton closed his eyes and sighed.
The joys of fatherhood.
He was hoping for another three seconds to question his sanity, but was startled when a somewhat heavy object was dropped into his lap with a metallic clunk.
Patton looked up slowly.
“I brought the sprinkler.” Remus grinned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Dad.” Janus said seriously, standing a few paces away from where Patton was resting on the couch with a book (not rainforest themed).
“Yeah, Kiddo?” Patton said, eyebrows raised. It wasn’t every day that his second oldest child approached him, and it had a tendency to put him on edge.
“Would you play a game of chess with me?” Janus asked, almost reluctantly. “Virgil is with the baby and the twins are only fun for a little bit, because I like when I get to win, but they suck at the game.”
“Of course, Janus. I have a feeling you’ll beat me though.” Patton smiled as he slipped a bookmark into the book to save his place.
Janus grinned. “Yeah, but now I can say that I beat a grown-up.”
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Alright, what movie do you want to watch?’ Patton asked with a content sigh as he settled onto the cushy living room couch, a mug of hot chocolate steaming in his hands. He pulled a stray throw blanket from the couch beside him and draped it over his lap.
Virgil was across the room digging through drawers of DVDs and VHS tapes that had amassed there over the years.
“There’s one here I’ve been wanting to watch for months.” Virgil muttered beneath his breath as he furiously searched.
“What does it look like?” Patton inquired, taking a sip of the rich chocolate goodness. He was risky that day and added some whipped cream to the top of his drink.
“It looks like something that would make Roman cry and Remus laugh.” Virgil snorted, tossing a Dora the Explorer DVD behind him. It clattered onto the carpet unceremonially.
“Logan was asking about that Dora episode a few days ago.” Patton commented idly before taking another sip of got chocolate.
“We need to start putting on the Halloween episodes for him, so he can watch the really terrifying stuff with me when he’s older, like the one I’m trying to find.”
Patton winced, “Oh, is it a scary movie?”
“Absolutely.” Virgil grinned darkly. “I’m glad we’re starting so late, it’ll add to the atmosphere.”
“Kiddo, am I going to sleep tonight?” Patton asked hesitantly.
“Sometimes my friends pass out from fear and just sleep through the whole night from there. Alex usually does.” Virgil shrugged as he kept digging.
Patton just sighed.
“Or do what Esther does when she gets scared.”
“Which is?”
“She bullies everybody else for getting scared until she’s too distracted roasting us to remember she’s scared too.”
“I don’t think that’s going to work.”
Virgil nodded slowly, “Good point. Maybe Alex’s method might work better.” He said with a sheepish smile before continuing to look for the disk.
“If you can’t find the movie, we can always rewatch Winnie the Pooh.” Patton tried weakly.
“No! I’m so close.” Virgil said over his shoulder as he kept digging. “VeggieTales, no, Disney, more Disney, even more Disney, another architecture documentary, thank you Logan, Sesame Street, my serial killer crap. No, no, ew no. Wait. Wait. Oh! I found it! Look, Dad! I found it!” Virgil happily held up the DVD, which just judging by the cover was enough to make Patton a bit uneasy, though Virgil’s grin was hard to resist.
It was mostly a matte black plastic, with whispy ghostly figures creeping across the cover, men in suits with bloody ties, a woman dressed in white with a gun stood below the haunting title. Virgil opened it and pulled out an equally frightening disk.
“I’m so excited!” Virgil said as he pumped his fist.
Patton gulped. “That’s great, Virgil!”
“Relax, Dad!” Virgil said as he snatched the remote up and put the disk in. “You can cover your eyes at the really bloody parts. Just pretend the screaming is like, kids on a roller coaster or something.”
“Noted.” Patton said behind his hot chocolate, starting to wish he had added sprinkles again, but after the ice cream fiasco, he hadn’t bought more.
Virgil ran up to the couch and flopped down heavily beside Patton, remote pointed out as the T.V. booted up.
“So what exactly is this about?” Patton asked nervously.
Virgil chewed at the end of his thumbnail. “It’s ‘bout a lady whose dad made her watch him kill a bunch of people, but she sees the ghosts as they try and kill her. Then she dies from a head injury after they push her off a cliff and now, she’s gotta kill the ghosts and her dad.”
Patton gulped. “Sounds scary.”
“Yeah.” Virgil grinned. “Ready?”
“No.” A different voice sounded from the staircase.
Patton jumped nearly out of his skin before he looked up, startled. He could then make out Janus in his bright red and yellow pajamas, standing at the bottom of the stairs, clear eyed and looking less than pleased.
“You’re supposed to be asleep, Janny.” Virgil sighed as he paused the T.V. before it could begin.
Janus glared at Virgil, lips tightly pressed together with an identifiable frustration. “I can’t fall asleep.” He said flatly.
“Aw, Kiddo.” Patton said sympathetically, “Why don’t you read a book for a little bit and see if that makes you sleepier? Okay?”
“It’s not gonna work.” Janus grumbled. “Can you read it to me instead? Upstairs? You don’t even like scary movies anyway.” Janus said with a pout.
Patton tried not to react to the slight slump in Virgil’s shoulder beside him, instead, he decided on an easier solution. “How about we make a deal?” he offered, “You go and try reading a few chapters, and then try and sleep. If you still aren’t tired, I’ll get you some warm milk, and if you still just can’t get to sleep, I’ll read to you until you can catch some Zs. Does that sound okay, Jan-Jan?”
“No.” Janus said in a clipped tone.
“Janus, you haven’t been in bed very long yet, it’s worth a try.” Patton pleaded.
“But—”
“Kiddo, can you try? It’ll be perfectly fine if it doesn’t work, but let’s try, okay?”
“… fine.” Janus said, clearly biting back more words. A contained fury burned in his eyes.
Patton smiled anyway, hoping to calm the swirling discomfort in his stomach by taking another sip of hot chocolate. “Alright, goodnight, honey. Come get me if you still can’t sleep after a book, okay?”
“Kay.” Janus bit out, barely concealing a scowl.
“Sleep tight, Jan.” Virgil added, fingers hovering over the play button on the remote.
Patton subtly clenched his jaw. He was in for a long night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time Patton woke up, his bedsheets were wrinkled and halfway pulled off the mattress, probably from how he violently tossed and turned all night. Though Patton did manage to get a somewhat adequate amount of sleep that night after his movie with Virgil, his sleep was definitely affected by the horror film.
The movie that Virgil had selected was … graphic to say the least, and while Virgil enjoyed things that scared and startled him, Patton had to keep himself from covering his eyes and ears for most of the movie.
He tried to go to sleep, but constantly, moments from the movie replayed in his head.
The woman was silent, she always was, her paled lips remained parted, but no sound ever emerged. The blood had been drained from her face, giving her skin a chalky appearance. She ran with ravaged thin arms pumping and long spindly legs covered in old bruises. She dragged herself through the mud, dripping blood that was only partially her own. Her hair had grown even after she had died, falling in stringy curls down to her calves. Her nails were long and sharp, covered in a slime. Her eyes closed, they hadn’t opened since she tumbled off that cliff. The back of her head was mostly missing, replaced by a gaping hole filled with crusted blood over bandages stuffed into what was left of the rear end of her skull. She was determined, she was dead, and her father would join her in her misery.
Janus didn’t end up coming down for the rest of the evening, but Patton did peek into his room to check on him before he went to bed, finding the child fast asleep beneath his covers. He had fought the childish urge to turn on the lights and check the dark corners of the room, but that was just the horror movie talking, and had nothing to do with the uneasy feeling that Patton had felt the night before.
He had been adjusting to the new routine of waking up far earlier than he was used to, getting dressed, making a fun meal for his gaggle of children, cleaning up, doing chores, playing games with his kids, another meal, some type of activity, another meal, and then rounding his kids up to get them in pajamas and tucking into bed right after he read them a fairytale.
Maybe some people wouldn’t enjoy it, Patton could understand not being into the type of life that involved playdoh in the carpet, singing your grocery list, eating fruit cut into shapes, scrubbing the mustache your child drew onto his brother's face, and stopping your toddler from trying to breed ladybugs in one of your kitchen cabinets, but to Patton? Nothing could fulfill him more.
Though he may miss the ability to sleep in past eight in the morning.
The current morning isn’t so bad though, with no children waking him up. It’s slightly earlier than he usually manages to wake up on his own, but it was better than being shaken awake by a seven-year-old child asking about hypothetically flooding the bathroom tub, so he decided to just get up anyway.
He got up and showered, brushed his teeth, got dressed in another gray T-shirt and white cardigan, fixed his hair, and when he inevitably tripped over the little blue slippers again, he was in a good enough mood to slip them on with a dry chuckle. He’d embrace them just this once and hope that it would break the curse of nearly falling over them and dying every morning.
His hair was still damp, slightly sticking to the skin on his neck and forehead, making him shiver slightly. He wrapped the cardigan around himself just a little tighter as he walked down the hall at a leisurely pace. The slippers slid around at an awkward angle with each step he took, pushing the end of his foot against the soft fuzzy material in a way that pinches, though it wasn’t as horrible as tripping.
Descending the long, carpeted stairs, he let himself yawn deeply, shivering a bit from the early morning chill that would fade as the summer sun crept in through the windows. He stepped over the baby gate, almost stumbling due to the stupid slippers.
The extra time meant Patton could enjoy a steaming cup of fresh coffee before starting the day, which he was looking forward to greatly. He took it with abysmal amounts of sugar of course, at least according to Virgil, both adult and teenage versions would agree on that.
Another yawn escaped him as he stumbled toward the kitchen, ready to find one of their chipped or scratched mugs with a Disney quote or a space fact or a bright pattern on the front. He considered even checking the pantry to see if any chocolate cookies were left to dunk in his coffee. Maybe he’d get risky and have two to start the day off with a bang.
Ah. The wild adventures that came with being a single father.
In his sleepy haze, shuffling his slippers and rubbing his eyes, he managed to start the coffee maker and pull out the creamer and sugar. And yes, he put sweetened vanilla creamer in addition to a few spoons of sugar in his coffee and no, he had no shame.
Patton rested against the side of the counter, attempting not to nod off, but fighting off more yawns. The cardigan was loose and comfy, the coffee was smelling wonderfully safe, it was pleasantly dim in the kitchen, and it was so quiet. He adored having a house full of excited noisy children, but a few minutes of peace and quiet did him some good. He almost wished he could go back to sleep on the living room couch, but decided staying up for a few minutes to have to himself was too nice to pass up. Perhaps he’d distract the kids and take that nap later, that could be nice. Logan would probably join him even. He could try and make today and very laid back one, he needed it.
He could just relax.
Patton yawned into his arm again, blinking drowsily. The amount of silence was peaceful, which was hard to even say to himself. Months of nothing but Patton having to exist in his own silence was the most miserable thing Patton had ever endured, now it was a blessing.
He savored it now. A stark contrast to before.
Then he very slowly noticed that it wasn’t actually completely quiet, as his hazy self had believed it to be, and he immediately tensed, blood running colder and faster as his heartrate sped up. A hot spike of uncertainty flooded his body.
Maybe quiet wasn’t a good sign after all.
What— What was that sound? It was so soft and grainy, Patton had to really strain his ears to hear the sound over the roaring of his own blood rushing through his veins. It sounded nothing like any of the kids, or any of the toys they had. It was nearly inhuman, buzzing and chittering. Was it a hiss?
What was it? What was it?
Patton bit the inside of his mouth and focused on the sound.
A voice? Could it be? Yes! It sounded like a deep male voice, getting slightly louder. A very fuzzy slightly distorted low voice, speaking too quickly and too softly to quite make out. It drifted over the chilled morning air and into the sleepy kitchen, it’s origin too difficult to discern from where he was.
He stilled, hoping to figure out what it was without leaving the kitchen, he didn’t want to investigate. He refused to go looking for trouble. He couldn’t handle it. Not again. Not now. He couldn’t take it again. He’d just stopped shaking and shivering. He’d just started sleeping again.
Then he heard a new sound, much louder and much higher.
“Haha! I knew it!”
Patton nearly cried in an exhausted relief at the familiar voice that he could then tell was coming from the living room. He slumped further against the counter as his heart rate began to calm down again. He took deep, quiet breaths as he made up for the air he’d just lost.
“Roman, Kiddo? Is that you?” Patton called from where he was, relief still laced in his voice.
“Yeah, Dad!” Roman’s chipper voice called back from the living room.
“You’re up early.” He commented, vaguely surprised. Roman was usually the last to get up besides Virgil, who would happily sleep in past noon.
“I couldn’t sleep.” Roman said, which made sense. Patton made a mental note to try and get him to bed a bit early later that night, the poor thing was bound to be exhausted.
Patton sympathetically hummed. “Aw, I’m sorry Roman. How long have you been up?”
“Almost twelve whole episodes!” Roman said, sounding significantly less tired than a person who’s been watching T.V. for a whole season should be. It was barely seven in the morning, how children could be so hyper so early was beyond him.
“Are your brothers still in bed?” Patton inquired, cleaning his glasses on the edge of cardigan. Logan had been trying them on the day before, and had gotten his tiny fingerprints all over the lenses.
Roman was quiet for a few moments, presumably distracted by the television. Patton could hear him quietly commenting on the show.
“Roman?”
“Hmm? Oh. Well I woke Remus up, but he said he was too busy to play, and he went back to sleep.” Roman responded at last, still raising his voice over the television.
“So, you’ve watching something, Kiddo?” Patton asked, noticing the coffee was just about done brewing. He was looking forward to the caffeine rush in store.
“Yup!” Roman yelled back.
Patton frowned, as he wasn’t sure which show Roman could possibly be watching. Usually, Patton was pretty good at guessing cartoons from their voices and how likely the kids are to put it on. The twins were the most likely to gravitate towards whatever Disney film is on their minds, and whatever Roman was watching sounded nothing like any Disney film Patton could recall.
“Roman, it isn’t something you aren’t supposed to watch, is it?” Patton asked a bit more firmly, knowing full well what the answer probably was.
“No!” Roman protested immediately, “It’s not even scary, and Janus was watching it yesterday!”
With a sigh, Patton asked, “Well, is Janus allowed to watch it either?”
“No! Wait, yeah. Yes! Uh, I um—” Roman guiltily stumbled over his words, “Oh! I plead the sixth.”
Patton pressed his lips into a line and sighed again. Whatever Roman was watching Patton definitely hadn’t approved of, and the kid clearly hadn’t paid attention to how to plead the fifth.
He needed coffee first, then he could go see what Janus was secretly showing Roman, then he’d wait until Janus was up and about to chide him about watching and showing T.V. shows he wasn’t supposed to watch at his ripe age of nine.
Despite the slow headache beginning to creep in again, a tired smile found its way to Patton’s chapped lips. He reached up into a nearby cabinet to retrieve a mug for his coffee. He grabbed the mug closest to him, it was Cinderella themed one, decorated with a quaint little depiction of Cinderella and her prince getting married at the end of the movie.
A few spoons of sugar, a healthy dose of French vanilla creamer, and coffee poured all the way to the tippy top of the cup before stirring filled the kitchen was a gorgeous smell. He took a sip, wincing at how scalding hot his caffeine was, but savoring the taste none the less.
A few more sips of coffee and Patton figured he should finally go check on Roman. He could hear the T.V. being turned up even louder, making the gritty angry voices much more clear.
Shuffling slightly to keep his slippers on, Patton left the kitchen, coffee in hand. He was careful to not spill his drink on the carpet, but it was filled so high that he had to be cautious of each step. He took a sip off the top.
“Okay, Roman.” Patton said, entering the living room and taking one last sip of coffee, “What did Jan—”
The mug slipped from Patton’s grip, hitting the carpet with a dull crack. The hot coffee splatters all over the ground and hits Patton’s leg in a scalding spray that burns through his pants. The cartoonish Disney illustration is laying face down in a hot pool of sugary coffee that’s slowly oozing into the cream colored carpet. Patton’s hands fall limp at his sides, fingers outstretched as if reaching for the cup, but his eyes are not on the coffee. It’s as if he has yet to notice the spill.
His eyes are fixed ahead of him. Pupils dilated and eyes wide. He feels a scream building, starting in the pit of his stomach and slowly rising through his body like a hot water geyser that’s seconds away from bursting.
Patton isn’t breathing.
But neither is Roman.
The television is playing far too loudly, grating on his ears. The rest of the living room seems to suck in every sound that the T.V. makes, as if it was desperate to be rid of the deathly quiet that two humans produce when they don’t breathe at all.
An angry, grizzled man with a neat beard and an authoritative voice is standing in a suit, waving his finger around and speaking in a clipped tone. It cuts to the rest of the courtroom, filled with people who are watching with bated breath. A judge is staring at the man with distain, speaking slowly. Another man in a suit begins to argue with the first, pointing out people and facts that leave the other speechless. A woman in a floral dress and runny mascara covers her mouth in shock when declared guilty, but the first man doesn’t care.
In front of the television, Roman is just six feet ahead of Patton. Just six feet. The length of a coffin maybe. Just a few steps away. Just a moments run away. It would take nothing to reach him. Patton could nearly touch him if he just leaned forward. Roman was not sitting, not standing, not even lying down. He’s suspended, as if held by wires or propped up on a bar, it’s closer to death than he would be sprawled out on the floor. He looks as if he’d been pushed backwards, but froze before gravity could complete its job. His chest does not rise or fall even slightly, but some part of Patton knows that the side was waiting to exhale, but was stuck with midbreath, never to release his lungs.
Roman’s skin is too glossy, not like perspiration, but like fine China, polished to perfection and dust free, like a porcelain doll that will never blink, or cool its rosy cheeks.
Roman’s eyes are open, staring at nothing, and a color closer to a deep blood red than the dark brown eyes that he shared with his twin. His lashes do not twitch even slightly, his mouth is just slightly open, no words or songs emerging. No smile pulls at his lips.
This was not a small child. It wasn’t the delicate little seven-year-old child that Patton had been talking to, raising, and caring for, with that slight gap between his two front teeth and his fluffy hair that bounced when he ran.
No. This was not that Roman.
This Roman was nearly six feet tall, a man, suspended in the air just a few inches above the carpet. His broad shoulders were tucked inward, his jaw unclenched, his hands hanging loose, palms outward and heavy boots dangling. His hair drifted gently, almost nonsensically, like he was laying in water.
He was dressed in a long ethereal robe, so starkly white that it reflected the sunlight streaming in through the window. The fabric curled and billowed as if in slow motion, draping around him and gliding over his body like a Greek god in an ancient painting. The massive flowing sleeves made it difficult to tell where his arms were, but his hands peeked through at the bottom.
What appeared to be a red sash was crossed over one side of his chest, tucked close to him.
But what kept Patton’s breath from his lung was the blade.
The blade was far too big to be possible for a human to wield, wickedly sharp, from where the top of the handle meets the blade to the very tip of the sword. It glinted in the sun, its cruel curve highlighted by the bright sun. It looked almost newly sharpened. It was there with purpose.
The katana handle was pushed all the up to Roman’s back, as if someone had slowly but surely made certain that it went as far in as possible. The blade emerged at the front of his chest, centered strategically between Roman’s ribs, coming upward at a sharp angle.
It was dripping in blood, slowly coating the ground in the same color that Roman always chose for his pajamas, bedsheets, plastic cups, and toy cars. It made no sound as it dropped onto the ground at a steady pace.
The soft white robes were turning bright red around the front of his chest where the sword stuck out through snow-white fabric, slowly soaking his clothes.
Papers were scattered around the floor beneath him, all at least slightly stained.
Patton noticed for the first time that Roman’s eyes were too shiny, as if he died before he had the chance to shed the tears that were pooling.
“I’m sorry.” Patton whispers.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Roman.”
“I—”
“Roman—”
“Please—”
A stiff hand grabs the back of Patton’s neck, and he screams hoarsely, he desperately fights to turn his head, but the hand holds onto his neck with a cruel grip, keeping him from moving. He fights but has no energy to escape the iron hold on the back on the back of his head. Sharp fingers dig into his skin mercilessly. Somehow, he can’t escape. His spine is burning with a new agony.
Patton tries to beg for his release. He tries to protest, or yell, or escape the hand gripping his neck but he can do nothing but scream and sob.
Tears are running down his face, he’s hyperventilating and fighting to be released. He can’t speak, he can’t escape. He can’t bear to pull his gaze from Roman’s skewered body. The body looked so betrayed. His limp form was arranged peacefully but Patton knew better. He knew he was betrayed.
“It’s not real.” A sharpened voice whispers in his ears.
Patton is crying to hard to respond. He chokes as he tries to inhale. He’s shaking like a leaf. He’s suddenly aware of the sticky tears coating his face, the hot coffee bleeding through his slippers.
“It’s not happening. You’re seeing things.” The voice says again, grip tightening on his neck.
“I—” Patton shudders at Roman’s limp form. The blood dripping off the edge of the blade.
“Say it.” The voice demands harshly.
“No— I don’t know—”
“Your active imagination is getting the best of you. You watched a horror movie. It isn’t real. You’re tired.” The voice hissed, grip continuing to tighten around his throat.
Patton struggled more, “No. No, no, no, no—”
“Do you want this to be real?” The voice snapped, fingers digging into his neck hard enough to begin drawing blood.
“I don’t want— I don’t know!” Patton wails.
“Go to bed. Turn away. It isn’t real.” The voice says.
Struggling to breath, Patton forces his eyes closed. The image won’t leave his head. It won’t go away when he squeezes his eyes shut as tight as possible.
“It’s not real.” Patton says in a creaky whisper.
“It’s not real.” The voice agrees, almost gently.
Patton lets the tight grip on his neck lead him upstairs. He lays down and sleeps in a daze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He comes back down an hour later, finding his Roman sitting on the living room floor with themed coloring books and brightly colored washable markers scattered around him, some of them don’t have the cap on and are staining the carpet. The T.V. is playing some kind of a law themed courtroom show at a low volume. The coffee machine is brewing. A space themed cup is set beside it.
Roman smiles up at him, his red fleecy pajamas are decorated with a few stickers he must’ve found in his boredom. His big eyes are energized and optimistic, he smiles, revealing that tiny tooth gap in the center of his grin.
Patton is too sick to stay upright. He stumbled to the nearest chair and fell into it, breathing heavily. He can’t look at Roman anymore. He can’t. So he closes his eyes, finding the bloody image still residing there silently.

can i just,, rant about south park? (spoiler warning obv)
I never thought id be into basic american adult tv buthere we are- I recently got into it, feb 19th i started watching and finished the whole 26 seasons and two games (sot and tfbw) in a month. Just finished tfbw game earlier today and almost lost my mind fr bc wth man.... anyway, theres your background for how mentally ill i am, now-
South park characters have so much detail in their characters, right down to the little things, like cartman having to finish singing sail away or kenny liking oragami, like??? i love the little character details that nobody thinks about hello??
Its so hard to take them seriously with that stupid artstyle (the artstyle has grown on me and i love it sm but still, theyre hella goofy) but seriously some parts cut deep- especially the whole fucking covid thing, never in my life did i think id cry at fUCKING SOUTH PARK ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I see a lot of angst and it actually makes sense??? And just,, a lot of stan's stuff is really depressing, i hate the episode(s) 'youre getting older' holy fuck. The fact that stan knows how to drive at 8 years old most likely because his dad is an alcoholic who drives drunk too is graaAAA,, I feel so bad for butters too, the innocent child who gets all the trauma dumped on him 💀 none of the kids in south park are safe from trauma, not even 'new kid' (they fr made you choose a parent, dude.....) one of my favorite serious moments though actually is when kenny tries to get them to remember his deaths, the like "TRY AND FUCKING REMEMBER." is so dramatic and im fbedhunfinjecnijef
also cartman being the only one to remember kenny's deaths waa,, Cartmanland he says 'what kenny? he dies all the time' and when kenny tries to make the others remember,, cartman isnt there so á, then cartman isnt shocked when kenny escapes wherever tf cthuhlu sent everyone. cartman did drink kenny's ashes so that could be the reason he remembers epic
also also, i didnt even think about it before until i seen just kenny and kyle at the bus stop, but stan and cartman moving away and just having two of the main four left at the iconic bus stop scene is so upsetting,, I enjoy the older seasons best 💔 Like season 10 and earlier man,, their early seson voices too omg <3 When they started doing season long stories was kind of annoying (edit bc new episode dropped, they put cartman back lmao,, still missing stan though man...)
Switching topics- No wonder style is more popular than stendy, it has more content than stendy even though theyre cannon dating 💀i think cartman and wendy interaction more actually. Wendy's kind of cool and i wish theyd make an effort to show her and stan together more often (even small things like they do with creek) and a few times its even shown how little stan cares, like with the texting thing or the time they broke up for a bit stan had said he hadnt talked to her for weeks... Stan doesnt deserve wendy tbh, i also always forget she killed someone for stan lol, they really dialed her crazy back,,
I probably have more random thoughts but these are the main ones,, the little guys have been doing laps around my brain for a month straight and i feel like im going to explode

7 Surprising Things That are Native to the Americas
1. Bamboo
Arundinaria is a genus of bamboo native to North America. Though in America it’s known as cane. They’ve been used by the Native Americans for centuries in basket weaving and other important crafts. Giant Cane or Rivercane (Arundinaria gigantea), in particular, is considered a precious resource that was used in the making of baskets, flutes, arrows and other weapons, bean poles, and jewelry.
2. Pineapple
Pineapple was first domesticated in South America. I would’ve thought Pineapple grew in some tropical tree like a coconut. But, they actually just grow straight out of the ground on a stalk.
3. Peanuts
Like the pineapple, peanuts are thought to have first originated in South America. Peanut butter—or at least a ground paste—was even recorded by indigenous Mexican and South Americans. Huh. Just think. The Mesoamericans could’ve grounded up peanuts and then mashed up some prickly-pear cactus fruit. Spread them both on a tortilla and boom! Pre-Columbian peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
4. Cassava
Because of its association with African dishes (like the West African fufu), its easy to think this plant sprang from the African continent. But, it actually originated in South America. Side note: I actually got the Cassava (Manihot esculenta) and Yucca plant confused at one point. Yuca (a.k.a Cassava) is not the same as Yucca. They are from two unrelated plant groups, with Yuccas being a member of the asparagus family.
5. The Ringtail
The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a small adorable animal that looks like it stepped out of a tropical Asian rainforest. But, if you live near the deserts in the American Southwest you might not have to look any further than your backyard. The ringtail is a common North American native and a relative of raccoons and coatimundis. Unlike both of its relatives, however, next to no one ever talks about the ringtail in real life or even in nature documentaries. If it hadn’t been for the internet, I’m not sure if or when I would’ve even heard of one. I was absolutely shocked when I found out that you could find these animals in Texas.
6. The Coatimundi
I know this one shouldn’t count because everyone knows the Coatimundi is from the Americas. But most of us North Americans only think about them as “exotic” animals from in the tropics of Mexico and the South American jungles alongside other popular wildlife icons like the sloth and the capybara. Imagine my surprise knowing a random North American can find this animal in their backyard as far north as Arizona. They even share a space with their cousin, the Ringtail.
7. The Pronghorn Antelope
One look at this animal and you'd think you were staring at a photo taken at a South African Safari. In reality, you're staring at the native of the North American Savannah, the Pronghorn Antelope (Antilocapra americana). Interestingly, some of their closest relatives are the Okapi and the Giraffe. But they are the American equivalent of the gazelle being able to clock speeds of up to 55 miles per hour!

Confession: its me again. That balcony acid. So I wanted to share another one that happened literally yesterday (i dont even know if you saw the other one but whatever). So I had these batteries like listen I have this list of things I like trying and my building doesnt allow but we all pay almost nothing for a shitty apartment so it doesnt matter. And anyway on this list are stuff like "what would happen if you put gasoline on butter?" Silly things like that (nothing happens except the butter melts which means science didnt lie to me) and anyways I picked one of those yesterday (rolled a D20 for it like a pro of course) and the winner was lithium with water
Now, listen, basically if you add a little not much is happening except fumes and sparkles which is pretty and I wanted that. But because Im an idiot I literally took some lithium from some batteries and added a bit more than I had to and my balcony exploded (not literally thankfully) and I was so lucky my cat was in the other room (and that my balcony didnt fell off by this point) cause I was really living la vida loca there alright. Of course my neighbor came again and was like WHAT THE FUCK IM CALLING THE COPS TO MOVE YOU OUT and I said something like mam thats not how this works and I offered her a banana cause I was eating one you know cause I need to eat (but I think at this point she doesnt want anything from me except to leave her alone)
And anyways I should stop doing shit on my balcony cause Its been 2 years since I started but I meaaannn I didnt hurt anyone except my balcony (which I should stop cause I live at like the forth floor in a 10 floor building so thats kinda bad) But also its not like my uni lets me do that stuff in their laboratory (their loss really) and tbh I dont care that much its not like I cant do it in another apartment but I love testing shit and almost killing myself and anyways sorry I dont even know who you are I just clicked on the first person I saw at random in the reblog section of that post but enjoy my experiences with me, me lady
Lol here I come dumping random shit on my mind cause my friends are tired of me saying "my neighbors came again"
Legend says you can hear them groaning still
Hello again, nonnie!!
I did see (and immensely love) your previous ask! But because Tumblr is a hellsite, it has apparently stopped giving notifications of having your asks answered when you send them anonymously. (@staff bringing this to your kind notice.
Anon, you are an icon. Never change, please. ✨
This is giving me flashbacks to year 9 chemistry and having it hammered into my head that "alkali metals react violently with water, hence lithium and sodium are kept in oil" ajfjwkfbkwgbje. I wish I could have been as adventurous as you, and dabbled into a little rebellious experimental too.
I LOVE your undying dedication to scientific curiosity. Your neighbour should realise that no genius was ever born without a little streak of crazy. 🤌
I hope you're okay, though! Stay safe, bestie...❤
And I am very glad I happened to be the one you randomly clicked on, thank you for blessing my day with your stories. By all means, come dump your random stories anytime! 💖
Anonymously confess something to me 👀
