Hear me out…King Ghost is wearing a white shirt and he somehow falls into a pond/lake in front of his wife. When he gets out of the water his white shirt is completely transparent and (y/n) can see everything. And while Simon is trying to get out of the lake he just sees his wife looking at him like 👀.
(In reality, a king’s shirt shouldn’t be flimsy and thin enough to be that transparent but I think it is a funny thought if Simon specifically got thin white shirts so his wife would check him out bc he’s a little slut for his wife but she doesn’t know that yet shhhh.)
omg bestie please this is the scene from bridgerton we all know and dearly love!!!!! yes!!
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden, glow across the lake. The winter season had finally passed, the snow gone and melted. Spring had sprung. King Ghost guided a small rowboat through the gentle water, the oars of the boat skimming over the water languidly.
As the boat glided effortlessly across the water, you sat back, enjoying the gentle breeze and the soothing lull of the water. You peek your head over the side of the boat for a moment, staring at your wavy reflection in the water.
“The spring here is beautiful, Simon,” you say, running a hand in the cool water.
“I thought you would like it,” he says, continuing to row the boat, each stroke of the oars propelling you both towards the dock. “Kastron is known for its wildflower fields, super blooms occur here in the springtime, especially during the rainy season.” 
“Oh wow! That sounds amazing, you’ll have to take me to see them sometime,” you smile, looking back up at him from the water. 
As the boat drifts, you take a deep breath, inhaling the scent of fresh spring air. It's a welcome break from the formalities and duties in the palace, and a chance for the two of you to be together.
Spending time with him was all you wanted a few months ago, and since then, he’s made a continuous and honest effort to spend time with you, and you with him. Honestly, you’ve grown to truly have an affection for him, a real liking for him, a stark difference from the time you first met him.
The sunlight dances on the surface of the lake, casting a shimmering reflection. You find yourself lost in the beauty of the moment, the gentle ripples of the water, and the soothing sounds of nature all around you.
Simon's strong arms work in time with the boat, his gaze never leaving you. He shifts slightly, thinking of something to say. "I had hoped this outing would be a pleasant surprise," he says, his tone soft and earnest.
You lean closer to him, reaching out to caress his cheek with your hand. “It is more than pleasant, Simon. It's perfect.”
His brown eyes, once reserved and guarded, now shine with warmth. He briefly stops rowing, allowing the boat to drift for a moment as he leans in to kiss the palm of your hand. 
"I'm glad to hear that," he whispers, his lips grazing your skin. "I wanted to show you a different side of Kastron, just you and me.”
You can't help but blush, feeling a flutter in your chest. The two of you had grown closer over the past few months, and it was moments like these that made you realize just how much you enjoyed his company. You've come to appreciate his dedication to his people, his sense of duty, and his unwavering support for you.
The boat drifted to a halt by the lakeside, and Simon gracefully rose to disembark. But, without warning, his foot caught on the edge of the boat's wooden plank, and he stumbled, pitching forward into the cool water. 
You gasped, your heart leaped in your chest as you watched him vanish beneath the surface with a splash. Your first instinct was to reach out, to help him, but you remained frozen, unable to take your eyes off the scene unfolding before you.
Simon resurfaced, water dripping from his tousled, sandy blonde hair, and that's when you noticed it. His once perfectly pressed white shirt now clung to him like a second skin, rendered completely transparent by the water. Your breath caught in your throat as you saw every curve and contour of his physique, the strong lines of his chest, and the ripple of his muscles beneath the wet fabric.
Your husband, the king, stood before you, basically exposed, yet somehow looks more alluring than ever. You didn’t have to know he tripped on purpose. Hell, he’s way too coordinated for a fall as simple as that. He only did it to impress you, to get into your subconscious. But you don’t have to know.
“Simon!” you cry out, springing up from your seat. The boat rocks as you push yourself up from your seat, leaning over the boat. You jump over your seat, extending a hand to Simon. 
He takes your hand with a sheepish grin, water dripping from his soaked clothes. “Well, that was—" he says, chuckling.
You can't help but stare, you really can’t. You help pull him back on the boat, watching his arms flex as he pulls himself up. His proximity sends a shiver down your spine, but you do your best to focus. “Are you okay?”
Simon nods, water droplets splattering around him. “I'm perfectly fine, just a bit wet,” he replies, slipping his shirt off. You are now staring unabashedly at his now bare chest, his muscles and abs rippling as he starts to wring out his shirt as best he can. 
“O– okay” you gulp, nodding. 
“What is it?” he asks, nonchalant.
“Nothing, it’s nothing, just…you falling startled me a bit,” your eyes darted around, your face growing extremely warm.
“Hm. Well, I am sorry for startling you—”
“No, don’t be sorry at all!” you laugh slightly, brushing hair from your face.
“Alright, I’m not sorry, then,” he says, now fully grinning at you. “I saw you staring.”
Your mouth goes agape for a split second, then you flounder, spluttering about how you weren’t staring. 
“I wasn’t staring!” you say incredulously, exaggerating your reaction. 
“You definitely were, darling.” 
“No I wasn’t!”
He just laughs, shaking his head. He turns, hiding his face from you for a moment. God, he’s obsessed with you.

Body of Water
Tumblr media
You and Joel find a spring after months on the road. You’re both delighted for the opportunity of getting clean, but the hair he will see on your body makes you hesitate.
Tumblr media
Word count: ~1.3k
Warnings: Body insecurity surrounding body hair, slight nudity (underwear stays on), some negative self-talk, mentions of nightmares, mentions of vomiting, mentions of societal standards surrounding body hair removal, implied misogyny, no use of y/n. Body hair is described as dark. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if I missed anything.
You know you should be grateful. There is a spring in front of you, clear and real in all its gleaming glory, and yet you’re biting your lip. Joel looks back at you from a few steps ahead, an easy smile on his face. You’re not used to seeing that expression.
You chuckle towards him, feeling the need to mirror his contentment. He walks forward, his flannel-clad back broad in front of you, and you toy with the hem of your stained shirt. You clear your throat.
“Shouldn’t we wait until tomorrow? It will be dark soon.” Your heart isn’t in it. It’s not even dusk yet, the light still weighs heavy all around you.
He turns, a frown on his face. His voice is clear, though not unkind. “We have time.”
You don’t answer him, closing the gap between you in unsure steps. He is already untying his shoelaces. You look around you, trying to find an excuse. You come up with nothing. If there was anything worth considering, he would have noticed and taken it into account already.
It’s not that you’re afraid of Joel. This isn’t Joel-specific. You know that if he knew how uncomfortable you are at the idea of him seeing your body, he would give you privacy without hesitating for an instant.
But it’s not nakedness making you shy. Not exactly. You’ve been on the road with this guy for a few months now, it’s frankly difficult to think of things you’re still embarrassed of around him.
And yet, still. You’re just a woman, and outbreak or not, you’ve had your fair share of exposure to societal standards and rules. Your body, strong and capable as it is, is covered in hair. Well, parts of it, at least.
Your armpits are definitely overgrown, as is a thin line between your bellybutton and pelvis. Your inner thighs are certainly not bare, as isn’t the bone and strip of abdomen between them, the hair there thicker and lusher than the one on the rest of your legs. The full scope of it has you scratching at your arm nervously.
This is Joel. We’ve been sleeping over musky grass under giant trees for the past four months. We’re lucky if we eat more than one meal a day. Of course he knows what you will look like. He probably looks like that himself. But it’s different, isn’t it?
In the end it’s simply the pull of cleanliness that does you in. The possibility of having your grimy body submerged in fresh water is too good to pass up. And the fact that no matter how hard you try, you can’t remember the last proper bath you had. Not precisely. Sessions to somehow clean your body here and there, sure, but never this.
Once you make your decision, already guiding your fingers to the button on your grey cargo pants, you look up. Joel is mostly undressed, clumsily stepping out of his threadbare jeans. You wonder at his bare feet, you can’t recall ever seeing them before.
He looks at you once, assessing your hesitant stance, and picks up on your reservation instantly. He assures, voice gentle and unyielding,
“I can walk further down, if you prefer.”
You shake your head, gazing at his firm yet soft abdomen, lightly peppered with hair. You try to smile and look away. Honestly, the idea of him not being in close proximity to you scares you more than the prospect of him scrutinizing the faults you perceive on your body.
“No, it’s fine. Thanks.”
Joel nods, back to his usual seriousness, but you can tell he’s fighting the expression his excitement is pushing towards the surface of his face.
He walks closer to the water, and climbs inside with ease. You see him close his eyes, head tilted up in the direction of the sky. He doesn’t say anything, but you understand.
You haven’t encountered anything as good as this in a really long time. Mostly you’ve just been trying your hardest to fight off the constant knot in your stomach, struggling through nightmares that make you throw up all over yourself in the middle of the night. You deserve this, no matter what your body looks like.
You step out of your pants, hands shaking slightly. It’s embarrassing how much this affects you, still. It’s not like any of it is new. Your shirt peels off of your sweaty skin with difficulty, and that simple fact is enough to have you hurrying towards the spring, almost tripping over the stones and grass scattered under your feet.
You don’t look at Joel, though you mostly refuse to gaze down at yourself as well. You know the dark hair peeking at the edges of your underwear will startle you, more so in the bright light as it envelops you.
You decide to leave both your flimsy bra and underwear on, two simple cotton pieces that you’re very grateful for, regardless of how much the light fabric has thinned with use and time. Joel left his dark boxers on as well, something you’d thank him for if it only wouldn’t come off as strange.
One deep breath as you walk towards the glinting water in front of you, and suddenly you’re gasping at the feeling of it all around you. The cold is startling, but it is also the nicest thing you’ve ever felt. You stay kneeling so your whole body is submerged, and tilt your head back, like Joel did, closing your eyes. Your mouth opens slightly, the feeling too intense, too welcoming, too good.
After a while, you bring water to your face with your hands cupped with care and then kneel back normally, your upper body facing forward. Joel is looking at you, a shy smile on his face. He seems open in a way you’ve never seen him.
“It’s really that good, right?”
You nod. You feel like crying, sort of. A part of you hurts vaguely at the knowledge that you were planning to withhold this from yourself.
You decide it’s a better time as any to stand up, let him see what has been making your hands shake for the past fifteen minutes. The water rolls down your skin in heavy drops, and you stand there, uncertain.
You run your hands down your arms thoroughly, starting with your shoulders, willing some of the dirt away before you ask Joel for the simple, cream colored bar of soap grasped in his hand. You see his eyes run down your body, though not in a way that makes your stomach lurch. It’s only natural, you suppose, the want to see what’s right in front of him.
You turn away as soon as you see his eyes arrive at your face. You imagine him frowning, but aren’t actually willing to confirm by seeing his expression.
He coughs. “You don’t have to be embarrassed. Of whatever. I don’t know what’s going on, and you don’t have to tell me,” You tentatively turn your body back to face his, your arms still scrubbing. The delight of the fresh water distracts you for a moment. “but it’s okay. You don’t have to hide.”
It’s your turn to frown, touched by the words. You let your arms fall to your sides. Hands unclenched, no longer as heavy.
He looks at your face. You feel a lump in your throat. “I don’t know why I— I still get shy. I know it’s stupid. I just wonder what…“ It’s difficult to find words that don’t sound idiotic, but you push through. “I always got rid of all the hair before, at the QZ. Mostly because I was afraid of everyone who wasn’t me looking at it.”
He looks down when you finish talking, and then his eyes are back over your face. He looks concerned, mostly. “It’s not stupid. I understand. It’s hard getting all that out of your head.”
You nod. You kneel again, closing your eyes at the renewed sensation of water around you. Clean water. Surrounding your body completely.
He speaks again. “You know, it’s not something that matters anymore. And I’m not sure it ever did.”
It’s hard not to smile at that. It fills you with warmth, and maybe affection. You can’t help making contact with his eyes. He looks soft again, and it pulls at your chest. He’s never showed you this before. It suddenly feels easy. You lower your gaze, slightly shy again, but you force yourself to look at him when you say,
“Thanks, Joel.” You repeat it, voice more stable. “Thank you.”
You’re pretty sure the lump in your throat is gone for the day, and there is water, so much of it, and it glimmers. Just for you.
Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed, remember to reblog if that’s something you want to do; it makes a world of difference. Have a beautiful day!

(1/2) I love Jared, I'm his fan and I'm happy to see him on my TV and to have some photos or videos every now and then thanks to his wife Gen. 2023 is an anomalous year for him: the filming of season three of Walker ended in spring and the fourth probably won't start until early next year. The strike gave him almost an entire sabbatical in which he dedicated himself to his family, his children, vacations, to conventions outside the EC circuit and, perhaps, to some future projects. In photos and
Tumblr media
True, while Jared has been working nonstop since he was 17 years old for 23 years (18 of it as lead, which carries a lot of stress aka responsibilities without authority) and the strike enables him to have some much-needed break, in a 97% unemployment rate industry the best treatment for anxiety is having projects and more projects watings for you.
I've speculated here that Jared has been in talks for another project that won't interfere with his Walker commitment. With that said, projects from script to development to airing only have 6% survival rate. Think of how Supernatural was the only show out of 7 (X) from the pilot season to survive into syndication.

#FFF243 - "Bring Your Older Gays To Play" at Club Erebor
Tumblr media
#FFF243 - @flashfictionfridayofficial
Pairing - Bilbo/Thorin
Warnings - Implied smut
Word Count - 1050
Summary - Frodo had covinced Bilbo to go the event night at his favourite queer club. All Bilbo wated to do was go home, back to his books and cup of tea. Well, that was until Mr tall, dark and sexy was pushed into him.
Ao3 Here
Bilbo sighed into his odd looking cocktail. He was almost 65 years old. He felt much too old for this nonsense. Why did Frodo have to go to the one gay club that had a “Bring Your Older Gay To Play” night? He didn’t want to play. He was much too old and cantankerous for this. All these older men dressed up like spring chickens. Well, Bilbo was glad they were having a good night, he however was not. He wanted to be back home with his books and a nice cup of tea. He looked around at the surrounding people, the fast-paced music that was giving him a headache and all the grinding. All the touching and flesh on display. He spotted Frodo smushed between two much older men and couldn’t help but frown. He knew they would just be dancing, that Frodo had Sam waiting at home for him, but still, those older gents should know better than to dance with twinks like his lad. Bilbo was watching where their hands were on his boy like a hawk, when he watched Frodo’s head turn before he left the older men to join two younger ones. Lads that were beautiful, even if Bilbo said so himself, trying not to be a lecher. They were both in leather. The dark-haired one was dancing with a stunning woman who was wearing a trans flag as a cape. He was wearing a leather corset and Bilbo could see why Frodo was drawn to them. The blonde one was also in leather, just as tight, but much less revealing. Bilbo couldn’t see who he was dancing with, but he could see the blonde ogling his Frodo. He watched as Frodo bent forward and the blonde pulled back, a much friendlier rather than a predatory smile on his face now. Well, that was all right then, Bilbo thought as he turned back around for another of these vile concoctions. What he wouldn’t give for a decent ale or cider. Talk about stereotypical queer drinks, he thought with a frown. Because he had turned around, he didn’t see Frodo pointing at him excitedly, explaining he was his Uncle Bilbo, but may as well have been his da. It also meant he didn’t see the blond and brunette look at him and get mischievous smiles on his face. In fact, he was there, happily minding his own business, wishing it was 1am already, when he heard a slight commotion behind him and a solid body thud into him from behind. “I beg your pardon!” He said angrily as he turned. The person who had bumped him was facing the other way and was honest to goodness growling. It lit a fire in Bilbo that he hadn’t felt in years. “Fili, Kili, apologise,” the other man demanded of two unseen people. Blob heard a chorus of “Sorry Uncle Thorin” before there were giggles and quiet where they had been. “I swear you would think they were toddlers again,” the other man, Thorin, Bilbo assumed, said as he turned around towards Bilbo. Bilbo felt his mouth go dry at the sight in front of him. Thorin was tall, easily 6ft and dwarfing Bilbo’s 5ft 4 frame. He had long black and silver hair in intricate braids and a beautifully sculptured face. Bilbo almost thought he was looking at a god.
 A god with a frown, well that wouldn’t do. It had been a long time since he had seriously flirted and he was a bit out of practice, but still, he was cute, even on the other side of 60, even if he was even plumber then he had ever been before, and well, if this god of a man wanted to throw him about a bit he wouldn’t complain, moaning, well, that would be an entirely different story. “Hi,” he all but purred as he got closer. “Im Bilbo,” he said as he placed a gentle hand on the extremely muscular chest before him. He watched as the other man’s throat bobbed and he gave Bilbo a quick once over, a soft smirk gracing his face. Very nice, Bilbo thought as he pressed in closer. “Im Thorin,” the other man said in a deep, soothing voice. Bilbo closed his eyes, imagining what that voice could do to him on his plush bed. “Your sons?” he asked as he heard whispering behind them, peeking his head round Thorin’s deliciously bulky body and spotting Frodo, who was giggling like a faunt with the three people from before. “My nephews and my niece in law, menaces the lot of them.” Thorin said with a shake of his head that caused his hair to brush on Bilbo’s hand, making him shiver. “My nephew, my lad is with them. He is probably a bigger menace than yours.” Bilbo said with a laugh. “The little one with the curls?” Thorin asked. When Bilbo nodded, Thorin smiled. “Does he look like you did at his age?” “Similar, but I’m like a fine wine. I got much better, at everything, with age,” Bilbo said as he walked his fingers up Thorin’s neck and to his check, wiping some glitter that was under his eye. “Kili, the brown-haired menace,” Thorn said in exasperation. “It suits you, glitter and blue, very sexy,” Bilbo said as he put his arms around Thorin’s neck. “Do you ... Do you wanna get out of here? It’s not really my idea of a good time,” Thorin said, surprising Bilbo with his nervousness. “Mine either. Did yours do puppy dog eyes, too?” Bilbo asked and laughed at the sheepish expression and d from Thorin. “Well, I will not enjoy his smug smile tomorrow, but I’m glad Frodo dragged me here.” Bilbo said with a soft smile. “You are?” Thorin asked, smiling back. “Oh yes, come on Mr tall, dark and sinfully sexy, my bed is big enough for us both,” Bilbo said as he linked his hand with Thorin’s. Both of them ignoring the quartet of cheers from their little audience. Yes, Bilbo thought to himself as he walked out with Thorin’s hand warm in his. Considering he had despised the place, he was glad he had come and knew he was going to have a night to remember. Hopefully more than one.

*Stands on my soap box once again* (Rant warning ⚠️ ⚠️ )
So I can't sleep because it's been plaguing my mind but like, regarding the whole submersible titan situation.
(And this is putting aside any opinions on the deaths of the passengers)
OF COURSE IT F#KING IMPOLODED
It was not "Experental" or "Inovotive," it was dangerous and a case of blatant hubris on the guy who designed its part.
Multiple concerns were raised by engerners of the safety of this vessel. Letters written. People got fired over it!
The glass dome thing couldn't handle the pressure it was going down to. So of course it f#king imploded. I am not a f#king phisist (far bloody from it) but even I can comprehend this. Put thing in place where it can't sustain itself: thing dies.
Watch the Octonauts (a show for kids btw), they have to be extra careful going into the midnight zone. They have to have deep sea suits when in the water, the radio can sometimes completely cut off, extra bright lighting, gup (submarine) finders yknow... backups! Precautions! Because waterpressure and unexplored terratories.
It's like walking through lava in a suit of armour. And they thought they could go down to the ocean floor? REALLY?
Safety rules exist for a reason. Especially safety rules for a submarine going underwater to the the tangled remains of a giant ancient decaying ship!
There is a reason something like only 10 percent of the ocean is explored. Because we can't survive down there without RELABLE EQUIPMENT AND TRAINED PEOPLE.
OF COURSE IT F#KING IMPOLODED
OF COURSE THEY F#KING DIED
FAILER OF COMMON F#CKING SENSE
It's surreal. I'm half inclined to believe the whole thing was made up.
It was not "innovative" or "experental" (dad)
It was a death trap wating to spring and I cannot fathom why so many people seem to be dancing around these very clear and real FACTS. Sugar coating everything.
And ocean gate or whoever is responsible for this are lucky the people who went down signed bunch of wavers or their asses would be sued into the underworld.
These are the same kind of reasons the titanic went down all those years ago.
LEARN FROM BLOODY HISTORY OR WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.
We should NOT have to experience tragedies to prove facts we already know! What do you think the brain is for? Why do you think safety regulations are there in place you absolute raving lunatics.

올바른 선택 뭐든 새 걸 좋아하는 때 굳이 칙칙한 운동화는 신지 않아도 돼 Double Knot 빡세게 묶고 당당히 걸어가다 보면 내 앞에 있던 것들 뒤에 서 있게 돼
Whatever the right decision is, when you like new things / You don’t have to put on your dull sneakers / Double knot, I tightly tie them and while confidently walking / I end up standing behind the things in front of me
[verb stem] + 아/어/여도 되다
This structure gives permission to do something and is usually translated as “you can.” Literally, it means “even if you [verb], it works.”
When you use [verb stem] + 지 않아도 되다, therefore, this mean “even if you don’t [verb], it works” or, more naturally, “you don’t have to [verb].” 신다 means “to wear/put on [shoes],” so 운동화 신지 않아도 돼 means “you don’t have to wear/put on your sneakers”
[verb stem] + 다 보면
This structure, according to topikguide.com,  expresses that “if one does something over a period of time and then (something) will happen/occur eventually.” 당당히 걸어가다 보면 / 내 앞에 있던 것들 뒤에 서 있게 돼, then, means “while confidently walking [over a period of time], I end up standing behind the things in front of me.”
누굴 원망하는 것도 속 안 아픈 척도 난 티를 절대 내지 않아 유치한 건 별로 널 원망하는 것도 속 안 아픈 척도 다 튀어 버린 진흙 딛고 앞만 보고 달려가
Resenting others and pretending it doesn’t hurt / I never let it show, I don’t like being childish / Resenting you and pretending it doesn’t hurt / I step on the splashed mud and run forward
[adjective stem] + ㄴ/은 척(하다)
This structure means to “pretend to be [adjective].” 속 안 아픈 척하다 means “to pretend that it doesn’t hurt inside.”
별로
This means “not really.” It is used with negated verbs and adjectives. For example, 이 드레스가 별로 안 예뻐요 means “this dress isn’t that pretty.” You may also hear it used as an adjective to mean “to not be very good” or “to not like.” 이 드레스가 별로예요 means “I don’t really like this dress” or “this dress isn’t great.”
유치하다 means “childish.” 유치한 건 별료 means “I don’t like childish things” or “I don’t like being childish.”
[verb stem] + 아/어/여 버리다
This structure communicates that you did an action to completion. Depending on the context, it can have a particularly negative or positive connotation. 다 튀어 버린 진흙  literally means “the mud that has been completely splashed.”
우린 고인 물이 마른 후에 내리는 빗물 다 바꿔 놓지 이 세상의 기준 너도 모르게 흠뻑 젖지 탁한 공기 대신 맑은 공기 섭취 brrr
흙탕물 muddy muddy muddy water 흙탕물 물 흐리지 말고 멀리 꺼져 흙탕물 고인물은 가라 goin’ water
We’re the rain that falls after the stagnant water dries up / We change all of the world’s standards / You get wet without even knowing / Instead of murky air, intake clear air
Muddy water , muddy muddy muddy water / Muddy water, don’t muddy the water, get away from me / Muddy water, go, stagnant water
[verb stem] + 는
This is how you turn verbs into their noun-modifying from in the present-tense. 내리다 means “to fall” and 빗물 means “rain water.” 내리는 빗물, therefore, means “the rain water that falls.” Here, the verb, 내리다 is describing the noun, 빗물.
[verb stem] + 아/어/여 놓다
This structure communicates that you do an action now that is for the future, or will have effects on the future. An example is 음식을 많이 준비해 놓았어요, meaning “I prepared a lot of food.” This implies that the food is for future usage -- it was prepared to be eaten from the point it was made onward.
Likewise, 다 바꿔 놓지 이 세상의 기준 means “we change all of this world’s standards.” The use of 바꿔 놓다 means that they changed the standards and that they will stay that way for that point onward.
대신(에)
This means “instead.” Attach it to the noun that you would put after “instead of” in English. 탁한 공기 means “murky air,” and 맑은 공기 means “clear air.” 탁한 공기 대신 맑은 공기, therefore, means “clear air instead of murky air.”
[verb stem] + 지 말고
This structure is used to command one to do one action instead of another and is a variation of the structure -지 말다. 흙탕물 물 흐리지 말고 멀리 꺼져 means “don’t muddy the water; get away from me.”
단물 빠진 껌은 씹어 봤자 내 입만 아프니까 뱉지 랩 뱉듯이 uh 삐끗해도 행실은 반드시 자로 잰 듯이 악취를 풍기는 네게 내가 튀긴 침 페브리즈
I chew the gum that’s lost its sweet flavor / Because my mouth just hurts / I spit it out as if spitting rap / Even though my behavior is twisted, it’s like it was measured with a ruler / My smelly spit is Febreeze to you
[stem] + 아/어/여 봤자
This structure means that even if you do something or no matter how much you do something, it’s no use. 단물 빠진 껌은 씹어 봤자 내 입만 아프니까  뱉지 means “It’s no use / It doesn’t matter if I chew the gum that’s lost it’s sweet flavor -- because my mouth just hurts, I spit it out.”
This can also be translated as “even though...” or “no matter...” For example, 열심히 공부해 봤자 수학을 못해요 means “no matter how hard I study, I’m still bad at math.”
[stem] + (으)니까
This is attached to stems to mean “because [verb/adjective].” It is used when providing justification or reasoning for doing an action, having an intention, or thinking a certain way. 내 입만 아프니까 뱉지 means “I spit it out because my mouth just hurts.” His mouth hurting is the justification/reason for spitting it out. 
[verb stem] + ㄴ/은 듯(이)
This can be translated as “as if” or “like.” 뱉지 랩 뱉듯이 means “I spit it out like I spit my rap” or “I spit it out as if spitting my rap.” 자로 잰 듯이 means “as if measured with a ruler.”
Sometimes this structure has the particle -ㄴ/은 attached to the stem and sometimes it doesn’t, as shown in these lines. This video by Go! Billy says that when it does NOT have -ㄴ/은, this makes the sentence sound more metaphorical rather than literal. They’re pretty similar in general though. 
That’s about it for this breakdown, I hope you learned something! See you in the next lesson! 화이팅!

“It is striking: the areas with colonies that were heavily affected by bird flu last year remained vacant this year, including those of Waterdunen (ZL), Wagejot and De Petten on Texel (NH), Griend and De Putten near Camperduin (NH)” – wrote Ruud van Beusekom of BirdLife Netherlands.
Everyone is assuming that the birds nesting successfully this year have acquired immunity from the H5N1 influenza virus. But the areas chosen this year by the birds are lower-radiation areas.

The Age of Sims 2.7 - Part 3 - "A Day at the Museum (Part 2)" (Language Warning)
Of course not everything could be a bright, clear, warm sunny day -- even in Oasis Springs, because these days life for them had started to throw them curve balls they weren't always able to dodge.
She didn't want to turn around, but there was no way around the eyes that were staring her down and so she did… but said nothing.
Eric spoke to her like he always had. So many days spent around each other in their youth made him feel he had every right to approach her whenever he felt like it and however he felt like it.
"Got time for the museum these days, huh?" He asked her in a tone that let her know he still hadn't forgotten about the one time he asked her and the one time she turned him down. "What's up with that?"
"I don't know Eric, but a lot has changed since ten years ago."
Tumblr media
William's ears were wide open to their conversation and the new knowledge he now had made the wheels in his head begin to turn.
He had met Eric from the first day he had stepped foot on the unknown sacred land everybody seemed to not want him walking on -- except for one person, and there she stood becoming angrier than he had ever seen her since knowing her.
"You couldn't just say yes? After all we've been through -- after all that we were to one another."
At this point Gloria was far too caught up in a rage to pay much attention to William who was now looking at her more intently than he ever had.
Tumblr media
"Seriously, Eric -- if our mothers hadn't thrown us in the playpen together we probably wouldn't have grown up together which means we wouldn't have even tried to be more than friends."
"Maybe they saw in us what you never could."
"Hardly--"
"I'm serious -- I'm a big deal around here -- always was."
"Good for you." She shrugged, "Makes no difference to me. I wasn't ever looking for a big deal."
"You're fucked up, Gloria. You fucked up and you're still fucking up--"
Tumblr media
Something inside William snapped and he found himself looking away from her while putting himself in front of her, and staring at the man who was hellbent over something he most likely should have let go of long ago.
"Why don't you get outta the way." Eric said, as he reached his arm out to pat at William's arm, "This isn't your business besides isn't there some, I don't know, fucking plant or leaf you've got to tend to anyway?"
"Don't talk to him like that--" Gloria began.
"It's fine." William said, stopping her from going on. "What do you want?"
"I know you're not asking me a stupid ass question like that. YOu know damn well what I want -- I've been wating it for a long time now. You, fucking outta my face and out of my town is number one on my list--"
"You don't own the town, Eric." Gloria loudly sighed, "Between you and Claire I swear…" She fell into a grumble. "This isn't the place for this."
"Tell that to your man here staring me down like he's trying to win some sort of staring competition. Probably the only thing he's good at, am I right?" He snickered, glancing between the both of them. "He's gotta be good for something, am I right?"
Tumblr media
Gloria started to speak when William turned around and motioned for her to stand back.
"William--"
"Gloria… I can handle it."
"But William--"
"I said -- I can handle it."
She opened her mouth only to close it, but then to open it right back up again after Eric's remarks grew far more worse and incredibly personal.
"He's not worth it, William." She finally said as a way to finish the situation at hand. "He's been like this his whole life--"
"You--"
"Yeah, Eric -- I know. I've known you my whole life and you've been the same exact person since the first day I heard you speak."
"There ain't nothing wrong with the way I speak because I speak the truth and nothing, but the truth. You're wrong for being with this man then, now, and forever. You're always gonna be wrong."
Gloria turned around and faced William who was far more interested in staring Eric down.
"Hey…" She said easily, trying to break his concentration. "Forget about him."
And just like that, Eric walked off. Disappearing so quickly it was like he hadn't even been there… but he had been because his words had left a darkened cloud hanging right over their heads.
And a wave of anger William didn't know what to do with.
"He's gone--"
"I don't care that he's gone! He had no right to approach you and then the shit he said, what the hell is that about -- and --"
"William -- he's gone." She said once more, hoping he would calm down, but he hadn't. Instead he just walked away from her and entered the museum leaving her behind to wonder what to say or do next.

Earthly Days II
Please stay, you're not bothering me
(Oh, she is afraid of saing no)
I'm just trying to find some faith in me
To tell you that I could walk through fire you if I want
(But she's keeping puting it out)
Take you to know the light kissing my room every morning
(Do it for yourself)
But now I'm just planting some seeds in winter ando hiding my roots
And wating the spring
(So let the godness take control)
Oh mother, how to walk through this earthly days,
When you made your own sister?
And it make me see ghosts, hear devils and dance through my dark days
And my soul itchs
But every moment I'm getting lost in my own mists
I Rather no questions or explanations
You don't ask flowers why it bloom
You smell its perfum
And just like the flowers
Why Do I tend to perfume funerals?
Have you ever met the devil?
Do you know the demons who live inside?
And do you make them your guest at the table?
(You see, some good questions)
Oh mother, how to walk through this earthly days,
When you made your own sister?
And it make me see ghosts, hear devils and dance throgh my dark days
And my soul itchs
But every moment I'm getting lost in my own mists
I pray for you mother
But I'm also looking in the mirror
(Run with the wolves)
Make me the one to see
(You're already can)
Take me somber
(Light up within)
Give what is mine!
Come out from inside
Show me you would never be a daffodil
So open you mouth, silly earthly creature.
The Fae 21.05.23

My Album a Day - Day 50
Tumblr media
Happy first day of Spring. So for today, I wanted to pick something special since its both the first day of spring and my day 50 of doing this. So I went with what is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time, since I've never listened to the full thing before. And you can really hear the influence this album has had on a lot of the albums I've previously listened to so far. The layers of music, the melody changes, the wide variety of instruments, a lot of different aspects that became more commonplace after. Its a great album, full of great songs, and was a joy to listen to.
Favorite Songs: Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B, God Only Knows, I'm Wating for the Day
My Enjoyability Rating (not the same as quality): 5/5

The top ten Alkaline Water Brands in India
Get to know which alkaline water celebrities and sports stars are drinking.
In the realm of hydration for health-conscious and discerning individuals in India, alkaline water has become a staple, offering a refreshing twist to the conventional thirst-quenching experience. As the market burgeons with options, navigating through the plethora of alkaline water brands requires a discerning eye. For those with a penchant for organic living and a preference for online grocery shopping, finding the right alkaline water is not just about hydration; it's a lifestyle choice.
But navigating the landscape of alkaline bottled water brands requires a discerning take. Not all alkaline water brands are the same or equal. Ionized alkaline water has emerged as a prominent player in the Indian market, dominating the shelves of health-conscious households. These waters, with their elevated pH levels, claim potential health benefits, including improved hydration and neutralizing acidity but this is misleading.
NATURAL ALKALINE WATER IS BETTER THAN IONIZED ALKALINE WATER
Ionized alkaline water is made alkaline through a process called electrolysis that splits the water molecule to artificially raise the pH - which sometimes is a temporary phenomena. Take the Kangen water machine for example - the pH is alkaline only for a short period of time. Then it comes back to normal. These machines follow popular trends but are not necessarily healthy for the human body.
The only alkaline water with actual health benefits is naturally alkaline water. Naturally alkaline water is essentially spring and natural mineral water with an alkaline pH. This water is full of natural minerals that have actual health benefits on human health
But how do you choose the best alkaline water brand in India? With so many options available in the market, it can be confusing and overwhelming to find the right one for you. That’s why we have compiled a list of the top ten alkaline water brands in India, based on their popularity, quality, and features. Whether you are looking for a natural or ionized we have got you covered. Here are the top ten alkaline water brands in India that you should try.
1. Aava Alkaline Natural Mineral Water
Tumblr media
Aava is the only naturally alkaline mineral water brand in India, originating from the Aravalli Hills, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. For 20 years, each drop of Aava water trickles down through layers of clay and alluvium, which naturally enrich it with alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, bicarbonate, and silica. Aava water has a pH level of 8+, which helps to balance the body’s pH levels and provide antioxidant properties. Aava water is also the preferred choice of celebrities, such as Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and , Virat Kohli who swear by its taste and quality. Aava water is available in various sizes and types, such as natural, sparkling, and glass bottles. If you are looking for natural and premium alkaline water, Aava is the one for you.
2. Aquaguard Aura
Aquaguard Aura is a water purifier that provides alkaline water at your home. It uses a 8-stage purification process that includes RO, UV, UF, and active copper/zinc technology to remove contaminants.  Aquaguard Aura water also has a taste adjuster that allows you to customize the taste of your water according to your preference.
3. Evocus
Evocus brands itself as a black alkaline water brand however what it is is a black alkaline water based beverage. Evocus as a distinctive black color, which is due to the presence of humic and fulvic acid that is added to RO water.
4. AO Smith Z5
AO Smith Z5 is another water purifier that offers alkaline water at your home. It uses a 8-stage purification process that includes 100% RO and SCMT technology to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, such as chlorine, lead, and bacteria, from the water.
5. Havells Gracia
Havells Gracia is a water dispenser that offers alkaline water in different temperatures. It uses a RO+UV+Alkaline technology and a copper-zinc tank to purify, mineralise, and alkalise the water. It also has a hot, warm, and ambient water option, which allows you to choose the temperature of your water according to your need and preference.
6. KENT Supreme
KENT Supreme is a water purifier that offers alkaline water. It uses a multiple purification process that includes RO, UV, UF, and TDS control to remove impurities, such as chlorine, lead, and bacteria, from the water. KENT Supreme water also has a large 8-litre tank and a high flow rate of 20 LPH, which ensures a continuous supply of alkaline water.
7. Kinley
Kinley is a brand of ionized alkaline water that claims to have a pH level of 8.5 and a TDS level of 50 ppm. It is produced by Coca-Cola India and is available in 500 ml and 1 liter bottles. Kinley promises to give you water that is pure, safe, and refreshing.
8. Glance Alkaline Water
Glance Alkaline Water is a brand of ionized alkaline water that claims to have a pH level of 9.5 and a TDS (total dissolved solids) level of only 50 ppm , and is available in 200 ml, 500 ml, and 1 liter bottles.
9. Smartwater Alkaline
Smartwater Alkaline is a brand of ionized alkaline water that claims to have a pH level of 9 and a TDS level of 10 ppm. It is produced by a joint venture between Coca-Cola India with another party.
10. Alkalen
Alkalen water is a brand of alkaline water based beverage that claims to have a pH level between 8.5 and 9.5. However, you should be careful not to drink too much alkaline water, as it may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, muscle twitching, or confusion.
Among the myriad choices, one brand stands out not only for its exceptional quality but also for its distinct approach to alkalinity. For housewives navigating the online grocery landscape, the appeal of Aava extends beyond its refreshing taste. It symbolizes a commitment to a premium, health-centric lifestyle—one that aligns seamlessly with the ethos of organic living.
However, acknowledging the diverse preferences of our readers, we refrain from dwelling excessively on any single brand, offering an unbiased exploration of the landscape.
In conclusion, as you embark on your journey to find the ideal alkaline water, consider the diverse options available in the Indian market. Whether you're a health-conscious individual with an inclination towards ionized alkaline water or a housewife navigating the aisles of online grocery stores, the choices are abundant. But, perhaps, in the pursuit of optimal hydration and a refined lifestyle, the allure of naturally alkaline water  might just be the missing piece in your holistic health puzzle. So, as you reach for your next bottle of alkaline water, ask yourself: Does your choice truly resonate with the purity of nature, and does it align with the lifestyle you aspire to lead?

had the weirdest fucking dream i held a metal party with mary goore. not tobias forge, mary goore as a real life guy, not a character. the they/them nonbinary cannibal necrophiliac perpetually covered in blood. okay. it was kind of like some old school mtv spring break coverage type event along with an awards show? there was also really terrible baking and cooking contests which i think might have involved some of the aforementioned cannibalism except for the one plate that i was gifted which was boiled sweet potatoes chopped up into very large and uneven pieces but hey at least i wasnt wating people i think. but a bunch of famous people were invited, like i remember christopher walken and rosario dawson and also people i was classmates with in high school for some reason?
anyway the part i remember the most is spitting at someone and mary licking it up off the floor. what a freak. great guy in my dream though despite the very evident issues!
