for the ship game, 3 & 8 (if you haven’t done them lmao) :p

3. Who cooks? Who cleans up? Who’s banned from the kitchen?

Hmmmm I think when the narrator first moved in, he was banned from using the kitchen after cooking like the second day he was there bc he almost started a fire 😨 he didn’t know how a specific thing worked in the house. Like yknow those houses where things are just set up weird electrically or whatever? Like u gotta do things a certain way? Well he didn’t know so YEAH he had to watch Tyler cook a couple times or like for a full month or two before tyler let him try again 💀

I think Tyler cooks more! They can both cook pretty well but the narrator doesn’t go out of his comfort zone with food much so he’s only made a limited amount of certain things before while Tyler has tried lots of things so he has more experience cooking. He’ll make food without asking him if he wants any and it ‘just so happens’ he cooked an extra piece of whatever he didn’t want so he offers that the narrator can have it. It happens to the point where the narrator can tell he’s doing it so he can cook for him without it being too affectionate LOL like he will cook too many eggs, make two sandwiches ‘because he thought he’d want two’ and etc

The narrator is the one who cleans up. He already isn’t the happiest about the condition the house is in so if he can at least clean up a little and there be a lesser chance of ants coming in, he will clean his & tylers mess up after most of the time. It gets him teased a little by Tyler but at the same time, Tyler seeing the narrator clean up makes him subconsciously clean up after himself more too.

8. Do they have any favorite activities to do together?

Yep!!!!!! I’ll go ahead and get the usual ones they like out of the way which is making soaps, patching each other up, working out together in the house, and fighting (who would have guessed).

One thing I personally think they’d like to do together is make up weird random games Tyler makes up around the house. Like how they were hitting golf balls outside and hitting things with them.. I think Tyler finds random shit like that and the bike to mess around with when there isn’t anything to do, which leads him to making up random ideas for things they can do with them. Some of his ideas are more basic like racing but others are like “whoever can throw these garden gnomes I stole the furthest off the roof wins!! 🤪”

I also think they like to do their own things in each others company, even in silence sometimes. Tyler can work on soaps, work out, or cook while the narrator is reading a book or something! :3 they just like having each other around a lot.

And if they feel comfortable enough eventually to share what music they like…I can see them laying in bed together relaxing while listening to music from a their either stolen or thrifted radio!!

Timelines part 2: DBS.

Continuing from this

Continuing from the previous Timeline 3:

Babidi arrives with Dabura, Trunks gets basic training by Shin and Kibito, who both die against Dabura, but Trunks kills Dabura and Babidi so no Buu (but the egg is still there...)

A few years later, "Goku Black" (D) arrives, recruits the local Zamasu (C ), and they do the thing.

Trunks flees to the past (to Timeline 5, our original canon main timeline). Depending on whether you follow Manga or Anime continuities there's 2 or 3 back and forths.

Trunks, Goku (E) and Vegeta (E) come back, deal with Zamasu (C ) and Goku Black (D), and Zeno (C ) yeets that timeline.

Timeline 4:

This is Main Timeline until the end of the Universe 6 stuff.

Zamasu (D), after seeing the Universe 6 stuff, kills Goten and Chichi after stealing Goku's body. He becomes Goku Black (D)

Knowing Beerus would get on his ass if he stayed, "Goku Black" flees across time and space to find a timeline where there's no Beerus: the Future Timeline (because Shin died in the Dabura/Babidi situation).

We don't know what happens after that in this timeline. Chichi (D) and Goten (D) are rezed and Goku (D), in Zamasu's body, is confused af lol? That TOP sounds interesting though. (There’s conflicting info about whether Zamasu in Goku’s body killed Goku in Zamasu’s body, the manga and anime differ quite a bit).

Timeline 5:

Trunks (C ) arrives after the Universe 6 stuff, creating a divergence for Timeline 4 because of his "warning against the future threat" (tho he doesn't know it actually comes from the main timeline)

Beerus and co deal with the local Zamasu (E) (might as well now that they know about it!)

After dealing with the threat in Timeline 3, Goku (E), Vegeta (E) and Trunks (C ) come back with Zeno (C ). TOP and co go on as usual, then Moro, Granolah, DBSSH, etc.

Timeline 6:

Using the time rings, Beerus (C ) goes to a previous point in the Timeline 3 (to universe 10) and seals immortal Zamasu (F). His intervention creates another Future Timeline: timeline 6.

Trunks (C ) and Mai (C ) travel to a pre-Dabura/Babidi version of this Timeline and "start over" by making sure Shin (F) and Beerus (F) don't die in that Timeline. But there's two Trunkses and two Mais (C and F) in this timeline.

So in we have these timelines:

Timeline 1 (Forgotten Timeline): Trunks killed by Cell, only Bulma remains, probably destroyed by Babidi/Buu?

Timeline 2 (Lost Timeline): A timeline in which the Androids were dealt with in the Android Saga, but Cell didn't appear. Goku didn't die of the virus nor by Cell's explosion, so... all bets are off.

Timeline 3 (Future Timeline): A timeline that was erased by Zeno.

Timeline 4 (Confused Timeline): All of Z and all of DBS until Universe 6 is identical. the native Zamasu stole Goku's body from this timeline and fled to Timeline 3. We have no idea what happened there, afterwards.

Timeline 5 (Main DBS Timeline): What we read/watch in DBS; this Timeline is the same as the previous one except Trunks (from Timeline 3) came back and that landing created a divergence from timeline 4.

Timeline 6 (Clone Timeline / pair of trunks timeline if you prefer lol): this Timeline is created by Beerus from Timeline 5 when he decides to go with the Time Ring to deal with a future version of Zamasu (the Immortal one, not the Goku Black one). It creates a mirror version of Timeline 3, pre-shitstorm. This is the Timeline Trunks and Mai travel to, but they actually chose to arrive before the Babidi situation so Beerus and Shin don't die in that timeline.

My 2 cents on TW. It’s actually less lousy than I expected. Drake does a really good job as John. Makes me want to see his evolution into the John we know. He me reminds of a young Sam, including running away from home against his parent’s explicit wishes. Great parallel and well-acted by Drake. Mary and John having conversations and banter while travelling the back roads in a muscle car is also a great parallel and full of SPN feels. Milly Winchester is really cool, it’s great to get to know her. The music is great and the general look of things is better than I feared. BUT there is a LOT to criticize:

Dean narrating adds nothing and Jensen has forgotten how to be Dean. It would be better if this direct link to SPN was cut and TW could just stand as a show on its own in the same universe.

Too much clumsy exposition.

They stole much of the plot from the SPN Pilot. Bad manners, that. There’s a difference between adding easter eggs for fun, and just recycling old ideas because you can’t come up with new ones. Coordinates, I’m looking at you. But then again, I’ve watched the SPN pilot like 12 times. Maybe for a regular SPN viewer who watched the pilot once back in 2005, it would come over differently.

The absolutely cringe slapstick first fighting scene with John and Mary needs to go. I can’t believe they kept that in and even put it in the trailer. The rest of the episode John is shown to be capable, a quick study, and able to hold his own in a fight. Why they start him off as ridiculously incompetent I have no idea. Also, 3 punches from a trained marine a foot taller than her should have put Mary in the hospital.

They crammed an overabundance of plot and monsters and lore into one episode. Already in the first episode they arrive at a MoL chapter house. Less would be a lot more in this case. I don’t know why they did this- for the new audience it must be so confusing to keep up, and for SPN fans who will get the references and be able to follow it’s just a reminder of how much more dumb and shallow TW is compared to SPN, especially early SPN. The MoL chapter house looks as if they held Satanic masses there FFS.

They process all the clues very quickly and superficially. We are just supposed to be believe that a bunch of teenagers crack decades old secrets and codes in minutes.

Meg is an unconvincing Mary. A Disney version of Mary. They should have made her meaner and defensive, unwilling to let John tag along and certainly unwilling to tell him anything about her family. John should at first be the chivalrous sweatheart that he is towards her but eventually pissed at her for her attitude. John taking the whole season to break through her defenses would make their story much more compelling and would also be consistent with SPN lore, that they did not even like each other at first. Instead, they're already eyefucking halfway through the pilot.

Meg’s acting isn’t really good. Drake is a lot better.

I don’t know why they praise JoJo as this fantastic actor because in the pilot at least his acting as Carlos is lousy. The other two sidekicks do better.

The overall feel is really Scoobynatural with some third-rate Indiana Jones thrown in and sprinkled with moments from a young adult coffeeshop sitcom. If they want to make this work, they should scrap the scoobygang. Let the sidekicks do their own thing instead of having the lot of them band up, if they have to be there at all. Better yet, kill them off.

There have been a few people that have said the same about the narration. Jensen was so insistent on bringing back Dean that it didn't matter if his inclusion would be one of the most awkward parts of the show.

"3 punches from a trained marine a foot taller than her should have put Mary in the hospital." LOL!

"Let the sidekicks do their own thing instead of having the lot of them band up, if they have to be there at all. Better yet, kill them off. " I think this might actually be the plan. The POC sidekicks have no critical importance to the story and can easily be replaced. Not exactly great representation there.

"The overall feel is really Scoobynatural with some third-rate Indiana Jones thrown in and sprinkled with moments from a young adult coffeeshop sitcom." I can see why hellers would like the show.

Thank you for sharing your review, anon! It's good to see a considered review that takes in the positives as well as the negatives.

Laventon might be only one commenting on them though because he's an outsider. If the alphas were something natural but unique to Hisui then it would seem weird to him, since he's never seen it elsewhere. I feel like he, at least, would mention to the player if the rift opening had caused them, since i think it said somewhere that the rift opened after the galaxy team settled? Though to be fair, it's possible that Volo was doing tests that caused the pokemon around to be exposed long before he opened up the real big rift leading to people not connecting the two.

Also, this is only sort of related to your comment about the alpha krickatune quest, but even weirder to me than Mai's pokemon being only level 10 somehow, is the fact that the pokemon she's apparently had for really long time is a munchlax despite them and their evolution only being found in the fieldlands... I have wondered for so long how some of them even got their pokemon. With how scared they are of them, i doubt most of them are befriending wild pokemon to be their partners, and yet Lian has a goomy of all things. Did someone really go out and steal a goomy egg that he then raised?? Actually, depending on how long ago he fell and became a warden, maybe it was Ingo who stole one from that alpha goodra out near him to give to Lian. He seems crazy enough to do it. But then how did Mai get a munchlax? Did she steal an egg from the alpha snorelax when she was a kid, since that's the only one we ever see? Or maybe, since munchlax aren't really aggressive, she's one of the few who befriended a wild pokemon (that's level 10 lol) by feeding it and then it followed her home. You don't need to comment on this btw, it's just been bottled inside me. (I also love the contrast of Mai with a single level 10 pokemon, Lian with a single level 15 pokemon, and then the next one you fight is Ingo with three level 40 pokemon.)

ok given that it is only level 10 still and can only be found in the fieldlands, have we considered that mai might possibly be full of shit maybe. like she has not actually had this pokemon since childhood, she's had it for like a week and was just trying to be superior to the security corps and whatever they were working with. and then when she actually warmed up to you she couldn't just. walk it back and admit she lied so she had to double down. her actual partner is that ursaring from her concept art but it's taking care of cubs at the moment so she needed a temporary replacement

also ingo giving lian his goomy..... aaaa i love that that's so sweet headcanon accepted. i DO hc that lian was made warden around the same time as him so it would fit! ingo heard he didn't have a partner pokemon and thought that was an unacceptable disregard for safety procedures so decided to fix it himself. the idea that he just stole an egg is a little strange though, not something i would expect a warden to do.

...ooh, what if we combine our two topics here, bc like you mentioned the parent species of both these guys are notoriously alphas. what if both mai and ingo took these guys because their parents are alphas. in their frenzied state they had no regard for their young, weren't looking after them and were an active danger to them, so, unable to quell their madness at the moment, the wardens at least took the babies away so the species as a whole wouldn't suffer. maybe the goodra crushed most of its eggs and goomy is the only survivor, so ingo didn't want to just release it...

Yesterday the weather and my energy level lined up just right so I could clean the leaves out of the pond! I pulled out a bucket's worth, plus a couple of frogs and a dragonfly nymph. I actually ran into one frog twice, that's him in the second to last picture. He wasn't impressed but I think he'll be happier with a cleaner pond, it's almost time for the wood frogs to lay their eggs! I also saw a few nice sized ramshorn snails, and Mochi the spoiled feral cat stole my chair. Last pic is from this morning, much better! There are still a few leaves in the deepest part where I can't really reach when it's full, those I'll get later when I partially drain the water so I can prune the water lilies. When you pick up a handful of leaves it kicks up a lot of dirt so the water becomes too cloudy to see all the leaves, so I have to go mostly by feel, so I figured I would miss some.

More pond talk under the cut.

If anyone's wondering if I'm concerned about putting my hands in water I can't see through, the short answer is no. The only thing that could really hurt me would be a turtle, but this pond is too small to be of much interest to them. Dragonfly nymphs and some water beetles can bite, but they usually don't and wouldn't do actual damage anyway.

I wanted to clean up the leaves well before it's time for the frogs to spawn, because I won't want to disturb things too much then. Next fall I'll put the pond jail back in service to keep the leaves out. By that time I hope to have cultivated a nice population of native inverts, and I don't want to risk killing any by removing large quantities of leaves! I found out Aquatic Arts sells live daphnia magna cultures, so I'm planning to get those there.

I still need to prune the hornwort, but I've let it overgrow a bit on purpose in hopes it will help hold in some heat. I have no idea if that works, but I also don't want to put my hands in there when it's cold lol. It isn't hurting anything, and the pond isn't much to look at in the winter anyway so it's not a big deal.

WIP Wipeout Weekend - Lunchtime

OK so I started a little late. And, since I've already outed myself on the Discord server, I may as well do it here - I'm running this thing. lol So I did have some time taken away to manage it. But, I have made progress.

I rewrote one Tobias & Casey HC fic. Covering the period after Tobias steals Stepahnie from Casey through the night that she and Ethan poached Farrugia.

In this world, T & C were dating, and really falling hard, when he stole Stephanie. So there was some serious hurt and betrayal. She asked for some time to think, then while she was in the hospital she saw the texts from June, and that amped the angst (and misunderstandings) up tenfold. I made some changes to make this angstier and I'm happy with it.

I'm about to tackle a rewrite of the last "chapter" in what was the "Their Start" series, then I'm getting back to the chemical attack scene from T & C world perspective.

If you're a Tobias/Casey fan, you should enjoy this.

It's long - but it's really several fics in one as it covers a lot.

The fates are not working in Tobias's favor, and the fact that he was shady before isn't helping.

Casey is hurting, poor girl; and she has no idea what lies ahead.

OH! Lunch is scrambled eggs and homemade mashed potatoes courtesy of my daughter, who is being incredibly supportive of this endeavor. She must be hitting me up to borrow money! 😂😂😂

I finished Papás Por Encargo 😄 aka Daddies On Request 🤪: It was such an enjoyable watch, happy I spread my binge out a bit, def gonna miss my daily viewings! I hope they do an international release soon (assuming August?). Would def give it a rewatch. You know the drill...spoilers below

Morgan really grew to be my favorite especially in these last 3 episodes. He's just so funny and sweet. I love how he wanted more hours with California and was so emotional about it. I'm glad California pointed out in the last episode how he really is a crier XD

Their day together as a family was so adorable. When the dads sing for her at the end and she's crying watching them - ugh my heart!! Oh yeah and Morgan's "Insecta & Calilfornia for infinity" shirt <333

The big reveal with the bad guy was done well but I was very thrown off about him drinking turtle egg smoothies??! like excuse me wtf was that lol

The cronies weren't my favorite part but they had some funny moments. I preferred Gambio's(?) comic moments more. And I'm glad they were semi-good at their job as opposed to say a Tino and Cato. Made the stakes for our heroes a bit higher (even if we knew they'd ultimately outsmart them)

I was surprised we didn't get more with Diego/Itzel (she seems pretty clueless about his feelings), I was even wondering if Miguel/Itzel were meant to be hinted or they were just highlighting their differences over parenting California. It was honestly refreshing that the ships weren't a super focus and it was primarily family, while still including a bit of romance to maybe set up for later. I will say I have no idea where they plan to go from here in that regard tho lol

Diego with the dogs <3 The true alpha!! XD

Really hoping with the success of the show and the cliffhanger that we'll get a s2. I think there's a lot of interesting things that could happen next. I def want to see the aftermath of California and her mom's reunion. (I was kinda hoping in the end the mom decided to move in with the dads as opposed to that being just as surprise visit)

Overall I think the road trip adventure really kept the story exciting and I was definitely surprised at every turn (still can't believe the magician stole their money :/) I wonder if the characters we met along the way besides our mains will make a return... Anyway 10/10, really delivered on all fronts: comedy, adventure, heart, music <3

I've probably made like 4 actual posts about it by now, but every time I think about my joke CYOA "The People V. Markiplier", I come to more conclusions that it could actually work as a cohesive series. These ideas are just stream of consciousness, I'm very tired and I apologize if I fail to make sense anywhere lol

Under a Readmore because I can't shut up: ⤵️⤵️⤵️

One option I could see happening is Y/N serving as Mark's defense attorney -- which would work as they were a DA and they're also his bestie. The way to play the series would be to make a good case for Mark -- which, as expected for a With Markiplier series, wouldn't always be made through making logical decisions. Maybe it's different Marks as you go through the routes, and his relationship to you changes how he treats you (and how you decide to treat him)

Another could be that Y/N is a juror, and since time means nothing and they could probably just find their way out of the decision room whenever they feel like it they could just go looking for evidence that proves how they'd want the verdict to go

A third could be Y/N playing the judge themself, and a new layer of complexity is added because they get to deal with the room full of idiots with some authority

Looooooots of references. Bob playing the initial prosecution attorney, since he went to law school. Using stupid jokes like blowing up Detroit for some cake as evidence. Character witnesses from videos you haven't thought of in years. Just dumb and funny and no more angst please Mark I am on my hands and knees ple

Take a special route for an Easter Egg where Dark takes Lawyer Bob's place as the prosecutor, and it plays out with some actual stakes. I wanted to say "plays out authentically", but I have a feeling that you can't have a lawyer with a personal bias against the opposite client (which, btw, don't worry about something as stupid as courtroom etiquette get in the way of a story like this), and I have to make the joke that Dark stole Y/N's job in addition to their body somewhere in the series

But idk, I'm just some schlub who's never watched a full episode of "Law and Order" and got discharged from jury duty. I know very little about courtroom bullshit, but do y'all think it would work? Also feel free to add onto this, I always welcome a bit of brainstorming tennis. ✨️Imagine with me, friends✨️

actually screw it all the characters for the ask game LOL

I'm actually gonna do this in like two parts since that's a long list lol

dream: who is your favorite member on the smp?

Content-Creator wise? I'd have to say Jack Manifold I've watched the most of his content. Also, he just has nice vibes.

sapnap: what is your favourite part about watching the smp?

The fact that you can see everyone's perspective. Unlike traditional forms of media like books, movies, and tv shows, the dream smp can follow many characters at once and allow for their povs to come together in a way that's really hard to replicate outside of it

badboyhalo: what piece of cursed lore is your favourite?

Probably the Sally the Salmon stuff. Blursed hetero girlboss x malewife ships are really funny to me for some reason. Or the fact that c!puffy is a grandma. That hit me like a truck.

tubbo: who is your favourite duo on the smp?

rocketduo <3

tommy: who are your comfort streamers?

Jack manifold.

wilbur: which character are you an apologist for?

c!puffy. The way this fandom treats her is quite harsh considering all she's had to deal with, and the fact that her trauma is never recognised and her lashing out is seen as her being a bad friend or a bitch...

quackity: which arc was your favorite?

Egg arc.

fundy: who is your favorite underrated character?

hbomb. He's an alcoholic, he lives in the middle of nowhere, c!tommy literally forgot he stole from him, he's the sole survivor of Boomerville and he probably has no idea what happened to them, he nearly died due to lava at the red banquet, his best friend is c!niki. This man needs to pick a struggle. Why is he only known for the cat maid shit?

niki: which character made you angry at any point + why

... c!eret during the c!wilbur apology stream. Because how selfish, tone-deaf, and hypocritical do you have to rake a man over the coals for the crime of betraying a nation you already betrayed? And then for the negative fallout that had on your reputation. Not to mention setting c!fundy up to see his toxic parent. That stream alone really tanked my view of the character, and the longer I've thought about it the more my view changes of him in that stream as a whole.

I'll do part two tomorrow because it's 1:30 am and I'm tired, hope this helps lmao.

#thanks for the ask!#the wren calls #dsmp ask game #ask games #dsmp lore #c!eret critical #c!eret neg #i feel bad because in every other regard i love this character but jesus christ that lore stream

So many of my coworkers are just… weird, and N also confirmed it yesterday. (To clarify, I think all the back-of-the-house production workers are pretty normal, but we don’t talk much, due to them mostly speaking in Spanish and me being quiet.) Does everyone have weird coworkers, or does my job just attract people like that? I think my job just attracts them somehow.

My coworkers who actually still work with me/who I see regularly are….

My manager (T)

a middleaged Black lady

only listens to reggae music, as far as I can tell (she controls the music station at work)

the one who listens to the apocalypse podcast and believes everyone should be stocking up on toilet paper and learning how to raise their own chickens because of the cost of eggs these days

extremely anti-vax 😬😬😬

very nitpicky and I thought she hated me for the whole time I worked with her (later, my GM said “She doesn’t hate you!!” and then R was like “Oh, she (T) hates everyone”)

something is always wrong, or someone always did something wrong, and she Will Complain about it Five Times Or More

has some weird grudge against one of the production workers and both of them refuse to be an adult about it

My GM

seems pretty normal and seems to have a normal family

thinks it’s “sad” that I don’t drink

a #girlboss

tiny dynamic blond lady

speaks in short sentences (“Nice!”, “All right”, “Do it like this next time”, “Remember to do thing”, etc)

very fast walker?? No one can ever find her immediately

laughs at videos of people getting hurt (i.e. thrown off of amusement park rides, things like that)

I noticed she asks questions about people and gave her permission to also ask me questions about my life (but said that I wouldn’t just tell her things if she didn’t ask)

doesn’t speak Spanish other than “Hasta la vista, baby!” from… whatever movie that’s from. IDK I don’t watch movies

asked matter-of-fact if I “always liked girls” after I told her I had a partner; doesn’t understand the ‘they pronoun’ thing at all but she definitely has the gay-allyship spirit and isn’t weird about [me being queer] 🌈

drinks coffee every day for breakfast

literally no one else likes her husband because he’s not considerate of her (I don’t know the situation and it’s not my business to ask, but I’m like, sad and frustrated for her but I’m not close enough with her to ask)

genuinely likes working out and going to church

told me the other day, after learning that I’m engaged, that she and her husband didn’t live together until they were married “because my church says you should” and I was like …..okay then. 🚫 Literally did not ask.

this old, energetic, grandma-type woman

my first interaction with her was when my old glasses screw fell out in the bathroom, and she tried to help me find it 🥺🥺🥺

very sweet and talks to everyone (including the production workers, in Spanish!)

worked with one of the production workers for 11 years, counting the current job! And they talk in Spanish a lot at work

definitely weird somehow

she’s kind of befriended me (!!) (but we haven’t talked outside of work yet)

very private person and seems very busy and introverted (and has a second job), but he always smiles and asks how everyone’s day is going

I was worried I was weird towards him at first, but we’re cool at work (and I don’t want to invade his space)

I accidentally stole his work polos and eventually told him about it, and he was like “Oh, no way, that was you?!” and just got me more shirts that are actually my size lol

somehow knows that I’m queer….? The way he talks about it briefly makes me feel like I’ve had some conversation with him about it at some point, but damn if we have any idea what we said or what he knows 🤔 (and we don’t work with him closely enough or talk to him alone long enough to say “Hey dude, my memory is literally always bad, so it sounds crazy, but: what do you know about me being queer?”)

Reblog with your weird coworker vibes if you like? I just needed to put this somewhere

#personal #work stuff #coworkers #tw disordered eating #the other alters internally yell about making posts #hi hello i’ve made like 4 versions of this post in my drafts. here it finally is lol #okay to reblog #okay to comment #memory shit #christianity #tw apocalypse

Genuine question, apologies if I missed where it would be answered already: what is Catelyn Baratheon's ancestry, as in how is she capable of bonding with a dragon? Is it like far back Targ blood through her mother's family? Or, I know Rhaenys and Borros are related but I didn't think HE/his descendants have any Targ ancestry directly? Unless I'm just having a total derp moment rn lol. I love that she goes against her family and everything she knows bc she supports Rhaenyra as the named heir! She and Jace look cute

Hey,

thank you for sending me this 🥰

There's actually three (two and a half, really) possible answers to this 🤗

1. Orys Baratheon really was Aegon the Conqueror's bastard brother, thus making house Baratheon Valyrian by default. And with the whole "the seed is strong" stint they got going this is still Valyrian enough to be able to go claim a dragon.

2. Catelyn is a stubborn little thing who wants to do her part and is made all the more determined by Jace flat out for I ding her to take part in the Sowing. So she steals away into the caves as it is happening and bonds with Kairax, a she dragon the colour of the stormy sky over her home, that isn't part if the Sowing, because she is young and barely grown enough to be mounted.

But Catelyn herself is a petite thing too, so the dragon's size doesn't really factor with her. She also spent her formative years around dragon riders and the boys always used to take the Baratheon girls to the Dragonpit with them. And while this only server to cement her sisters fear of the beasts, for Catelyn is was quite the opposite, which left her a lot more comfortable around them than probably most outsiders.

She also caught a few snippets of Valyrian here and there - not a lot, as we see Jace himself doesn't really speak it, but I imagine that they all know what they need to speak with their dragon's much like any other rider would speak to their horse.

eg. "it's alright... hush... well done... come here..."

So wether it is a drop of true Valyrian blood somewhere in her veins or if she just profits from her adolescent dragon's curiosity and surprisingly gentile nature, in the midst of the Sowing Catelyn emerges from the caves on Kairax's back.

(Also - answer 2 1/2 - this my fic and my OC and I wanted her to have a dragon, so she gets one xD)

She is so elated and proud, but soon realises that this act of defiance also serves to further anger Baela, because Rhaena is still without a dragon and while she is still holding out hope to hatch an egg of her own, Kairax had been kept aside to be hers by Daemon and her sister.

So when Jace dies, Baela wastes no time to make it known that her betrothed's mistress is no longer welcome at Dragonstone and is expected to leave - without the dragon she "stole"...

And on that last bit, I love how Catelyn mirrors her mother's story in how they both so firmly held on to their childhood dream and idea of love against what the world was throwing at them.

Sadly for Catelyn though, her dream was never headed towards a happy ending and it's hard for her to get over knowing that even if Jace had lived, he wouldn't have chosen her and all she truly lost was the memory of a boy she loved and an uncertain, unhappy future as his mistress.

She broke with her family and all she's left with now is a broken heart and a ruined reputation...

So my dad’s side of the family came over yesterday, and boy oh boy it sure was a time—

First, gingerbread house construction—

Aka; the test of your strength, adaptability, and how long you can stay sane.

Conclusion: by the end of it no one was sane.

We put on pentatonic Christmas music and that’s when the houses started to fall down to the beat of the songs—

OOH WAIT I HAVE SOME PHOTOS OF THE FINAL PRODUCTS—

Your welcome for my wonderful photo taking skills.

Also would like to add that for me and my siblings when we do this every year I have the greatest deja vu so I’m pretty sure the results are the same every year really lol—

So first up mine:

Basically just trying to getting the icing evenly covering most of the thing, makes the gingerbread good. And yeah. Pretty normal, and pretty sure I’m the only one who got mine up with no casualties-.

Then the one my cousin made:

They got a different box so there’s looks a lil different-.

Only casualty with this one was the roof kept sliding or falling off, plus one of the walls caved in on itself at 1 or 2 points. They had a chimney come with there’s but couldn’t risk it—. Bonus points for the wonderful decoration of peppermints slapped on the front and the man who’s only feature is a big frickin nose and the man with a wonderful smile.

Now onto some goodies, first my younger sibling:

Average joe but most of the side aren’t done due to worry of more casualties after the entire things fell down to the second pentatonix song, plus more walls caving in-. My favourite part is the big smear on the front of the building BECAUSE that was originally where they put the man, who is now just on the roof, was. Aka where we crucified him. But they started to just very slowly slide off. They also came up with the idea to cover up the back door with one of the other gingerbread things.

NOW LAST BUT NOT LEAST. the absolute best one. The one from my older sibling:

The final product somehow stayed up but we blame it on the fact that their doing engineering in school. They also put a roof helper thing on afterwards but I;d also like to point out that their house was also frickin WONKY?????

Got like dr.suess-.

Anyways yeah. Pentatonix stopped playing and we got different songs after.

there was a lot of “WE GOT IT HOT HOT HOT” “HOT CHO-CO-LAHT!”

And that was that-.

SECOND.

There was this mug game that my nanny made where there was random stuff hidden under a bunch of mugs and each person would get to choose and see what they got.

I suggested that it would be cool if once one person go their thing we could MUG them eh ke ke ke-.

My dad got frickin 22 bucks. I chose from my spamton mug and got a white circular candle (that kinda looked like a pipis) and 5 bucks, but my nanny said there was an egg under there, and my mom got nothing first try and then the egg, so we traded where she got the candle and I got the egg ah HAHAHA.

Anyways that was that, overall after our sanity already gone 100%, that game chipped away a little more of sanity making it 101% gone.

LASTLY

presents were pretty normal, except for 1 point where we were doing the thing where you take something from the pile or steal another persons thing. 1st, my older sib got this big fuzzy blanket. 2nd my aunt, who was the one who bought the blanket, stole from him. 3rd my dad steals from her. Then last person goes aka my mom, she knows what the last gift in the pile is so she goes to steal from somebody, would’ve stolen from my dad but same family so she would get the blanket regardless, ended up stealing from my uncle. Your not allowed to steal from the person who just stole from you btw. 3rd since my aunt and uncles family also wants the blanket, my uncle steals from my dad. PANIC. then my mom and dad have a plan and so my dad steals from my mom who’m then my mom steals back the blanket.

Luckily it ended there cause my uncle was peaceful enough to take the last gift. But if he stole from my aunt that CHOAS WOULD RAIN OH MY FRICKIN GOASH.

Anyways last thing. Apart of the end of the night.

First we made fun of my dog cause he’s a lil dummy dumb who’m we love.

Then what cause every ounce of our existence and so it’s to be gone:

We were doing those pictures where you view the person from the top of their head down.

It was already funny, and then my dad did one and he did a face with an overbite, he commented saying that the picture looked like he was getting kicked in the nuts.

Then the one that caused us all to just simply die was one that my cousin had done a while ago just, omg god it was so good tho—. They had the tounge in there somehow—

The best description of what it looked like came from my dad who said it looked like someone put their face into a blender.

I laughed so much it got to the point where my chest hurt, my throat was dry and aching, my stomach ached, everything hurt.

Oh god.

Anyways.

Now I have my moms side to go to tomorrow—.

Wish me luck—

Overall: I am dead.

Merry Christmas!

#I have a drawing to post but wanted to get this finished—.#have a good day #random stuff—

ZINE FORM RESULTS PT 1

What do you remember most about the topic of periods and menstruation from class growing up?86 responses

It wasn’t spoken about

Just the products. That’s about it.

Period is every 28 days, different for some people, the uterine lining shedding but nothing about pads tampons etc

Topic wasn't covered that I can remember

I remember doing a sex ed class about pain and the whole pregnancy thing but there wasn’t that much on the actual anatomy (what happened over the course of your period).

I remember there being a separate class for the girls to learn about it in yr 7/8ish and the boys went to the science block to watch Ice Age. All the girls sat in a circle and one of our homeroom teachers made us look at pads and tampons and told us theoretically how they work.

Nothing came up at all

That it would be forever unless you're pregnant

period lecture in year 10 for our year group. Also vividly remember the endometriosis section

periods are a thing, they said they wouldn't hurt that much

At intermediate we had a film evening with all the girls and with our Mums, it was about cycles, chickens and eggs

boys and girls being separated by sex to discuss puberty and a huge lack of information regarding our periods and what symptoms would be like.

Learned about it in year 6. Legit don't remember it at high school

Basic descriptions and explanations from primary but nothing hugely in depth

I remember that it happened less than every month

That it’s basically the only point in AFAB existence

Only in year 6 and year 7 was it talked about. In year 6 I remember they went over the reproductive systems and put a tampon in a glass of water to show how much it expands. I was away overseas for the year 7 class, so I remember not learning anything.

how to use pads and tampons and a demonstration of putting a tampon in water to show its powerful absorbency haha

The little wings on the side of pads. I remember thinking tampons would be uncomfortable because I had no idea how bendy they were

Girls only talks in primary and talks for all in intermediate. What to do what it means and what teachers had period products

Not a lot. Only 1 class in primary that showed blood on undies and then a few at intermediate/high school that weren't taken seriously by anyone

it was always centred around the medical terms and the official biological process rather than the varying personal experiences that come with it

Ask me this irl bitch

It's "unhealthy/weak" to take pain killers during your period

All female classes very conservative and discouraged tampon use. In intermediate our parents had to be present but only female parents.

Not a lot. I learnt more from online than I did in class. I learnt that it happens every month and it means you’re not pregnant.

That they would happen

Absolutely nothing lol there was barely any talk about it aside from the free Kotex period packs (I also stole a whole bunch from the storage cupboard because my school was terrible)

That they separated the boys and girls. The only thing I really remember from the talk was that they wanted us to have a “just in case kit”

During all the sex Ed classes the boys and girls were separated when it was time to talk about periods.

Don't tell the boys! It's a secret...

Nothing in primary school, it was talked about in intermediate but I don’t remember it that well. I think it was just mentioned as part of puberty. I think it was only mentioned in highschool too.

That it was taboo and not really spoken about outside of puberty class. Kept a secret among friends if you got your period

That there was no avoiding it

I remember being explained why we had periods, and about tampons/pads, but never about things like endometriosis, or even how to deal with normal cramps etc

in year 7-8 we learnt about puberty and such. Did the whole "tampon in a glass of water thing". I'm pretty sure we learnt as a whole class for some sessions, so not separating boys and girls which was good. I think it would have been useful to learn about it earlier though as most girls were already well into puberty and having periods before the topics were approached.

Honestly not much. I know I learnt about it in class but couldn’t tell you when or anything that stood out particularly.

I still think my mum taught me more than school ever did. And if school did teach me, it was like last year 7 which is often too late for some girls.

It not being talked about at all. Not having sanitary bins in the bathrooms of my tiny intermediate school.

Tampon discussions

They taught us what a period is and why it happens

In primary school we were taught in year 6. The guys and the girls were separated into two different groups. I don't know how much they told the boys about periods and menestration. But I remember being taught the basics. Girls start bleeding at a child bearing age out of their vaginas for 2-5 days each month. And that it was because an egg had not been fertilized and it was the body's way of cleansing its self. And the basics of what sanitary products are and how to use them. Intermediate was more focused on how baby's were made. Boys and Girls were in the same class and we were read a picture book explaining how the sperm gets to the egg and the stages of maternity and birth.

Getting pink and purple libra pens, being separated from the boys and having to watch a teacher put a tampon in water.

Nothing was said when being in high school at an all boys high school, and still nothing taught at the intermediates or primary’s

Pregnancy was what they focused on more than actual periods

We weren’t taught much about it, what we did learn was only about how it would happen once a month

Girls and boys were split, was very brief and basically only mentioned in terms of sex and pregnancy

Almost nothing. I remember my first ever health education classes that mentioned it was in Year 9

The cis guys were sent out and we were all given a bunch of pads

tampons expand in water

I didn’t get told about it in class until high school

I don't actually remember learning about it too much at school. I learnt more from my mum. I feel like they didn't cover it too much at school.

Nothing

It was a very brief and awkward convo

I remember first learning about them in year 7, only hearing a little about them before from family members and friends. I remember it being a short class session where we watched a video and passed around pads, the girls unsettled and the boys finding it funny. My male teacher trying to explain cramps and hormonal changes.

Having to watch a bunch of videos about it, that it was okay and natural and nothing to worry about. I remember feeling sick and needing to leave the room when I first watched that video because I was not good with looking at blood and the idea that that was something my body was going to do was scary. I remember my mum telling me that she had never been taught any of it in school. I remember in primary a lot of classmates would talk about how embarrassing it was when they saw others bleed through their clothes. It was something to tiptoe around...

How it was about becoming a woman, how it was natural and we would have to deal with it for most of our life and how it meant that what “could’ve” made a baby didn’t achieve it’s goal so therefore it was being flushed out

Putting tampons into a glass of water

Even at an all girls school they were hardly talked about.

It was taught by an old men that made it uncomfortable and couldn't answer our proper questions

that you get a period once a month and need to wash everyday. use a pad, this is normal for girls.

We got taught what a tampon and pad looked like. Got given images of the uterus, Fallopian tubes etc. and told our hormones would change.

I remember feeling quite scared cause it was made out to be this thing that thrust you into womanhood. I started my period when I was 12 and I was so embarrassed and scared

Was pretty basic, if mentioned at all..

It wasn’t discussed until high school and even then the teacher put a video on and left the room (she was embarrassed) My mother explained it. The school didn’t.

the diagrams that looked clinical and scary

That they were going to happen, not much detail-but really I took my education into my own hands with reading books.

How much tampons expanded

Little, aside from learning about ovulation in intermediate. Nothing from primary.

i went to a coed intermediate which i feel i learnt more about periods than i did at my sam sex all girls high school. in high school i feel as though i learnt about it from abbiological perspective / how the body actually works no anything actually very useful for going through my own period

It was usually seen as something funny or something to be ashamed of. The girls would have codewords. Girls who started thier period in primary school were seen as freaks and there weren't enough accommodations made for them.

Periods are nothing to be ashamed of

I remember it was most discussed in Year 8, and everyone was uncomfortable but also at the same time chill about it

Being generally curious

no discussion

My mum experienced hemorrhaging during her period multiple times before I had my first but I think even by then I knew what periods were. I am unsure when I learnt about it.

not largely touched on

in primary school they had the boys and girls seperate into gender groups and write on an a3 piece of paper about periods and what we know about them, neither section wrote anything at all productive and we had a single class dialogue about it, so there wasn't really any normalisation of it.

i remember getting free pads!

Form 2/Yr8 Mothers and Daughters Evening in the school library. Sprung upon me with no prior discussion or concept of content. It involved a presentation of posters, books and sanitary pads by an older woman, a nurse I think. I knew everyone else in the room, all mothers and their daughters I went to school with, I remember feeling dead embarrassed and uncomfortable. For many of the girls this info evening was too late, for me it was way too premature. Mum asked if I had any questions in the car on the way home, I was in shock and said I didn't. Four years of worrying there was something wrong with me later, my first period came, fortuitously in the holidays. I raided my big sisters stash of pads and that was that. Because I played a lot of sport I was always having overflow problems with sanitary pads and remember spending frustrated and uncomfortable hours trying to correctly fit a tampon before I got the hang of it.

Being uncomfortable. And I think not old enough to understand what I was being told about.

Very little. The girls were separated from the boys to talk about these topics and I rember them showing us how tampons absorbed water from a cup in year 6 at a urban , large pop primary school. When I moved to a rural school I don't remember getting any education around the subject.

I remember getting the ‘period talk’ in year 6. It didn’t really make sense and wasn’t very well done, it kind of seemed like a hush hush subject, something to be embarrassed about. It was only girls that got the ‘talk’. I remember when girls got their period in primary / intermediate it was kind of something to be ashamed / embarrassed about having. Then in collage, it was the opposite, if you didn’t have it yet that was embarrassing and periods were talked about a lot more.

It was not discussed

Absolutely nothing - we were given no talks about this in school. We had strange little "girl workshops" where the girls went off in a group with a female teacher to talk about infatuation and shit. That was it. Pathetic

The diagram

I have made a ton of posts about Kenku on this blog, so it really shouldn’t be surprising when I say that I love the little feathered gremlins. They’re one of my favorite official races!

So in light of that love, here’s a bunch of random head cannons/ideas for Kenku that I have rolling around my brain in no particular order or organization! Feel free to cherry pick any you like, or ignore them all at your leisure!

The Kenku have their own unique sign language that they use to talk among themselves. It’s not really a secret language, per se, the Kenku aren’t exactly hiding it, but it’s pretty rare for anyone who isn’t a Kenku or doesn’t live in or near a Kenku community to know it, or even know about it.

It tends to surprise people, but most Kenku have no qualms eating things like chicken or scrambled eggs. Corvids are scavengers, they’ll eat just about anything that isn’t, you know, poisonous/a sentient being.

Kenku have hollow bones, which means they are extremely light for their size, much to the amusement of many members of larger species who happen to befriend them, like orcs, Goliaths, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Gnolls, or even just big humans. It’s pretty common practice to carry Kenku around because they’re ‘light as a feather,’ if you’ll excuse the pun. It’s a common sight to see a Kenku perched on a larger friend’s shoulder or being playfully lugged around like a sack of potatoes.

Kenku feathers are actually kind of an amazing crafting material. They’re sturdy, flexible, an excellent magic conductor, and not to mention that Kenku down is sinfully soft and warm. As result, a lot of Kenku use their molted feathers to make things. Writing quills, warm clothes, jewelry pillows, even magic items, all kinds of things. Most of this stuff is of very high quality, but the problem is that a lot of people get kinda… Squeamish about using something made from something that came from a person. (Ask yourself:Would you use a blanket made of human hair? I know I wouldn’t. Lol) However, a long time ago, a wily Kenku merchant convinced his/her customers that these lovely black feathers weren’t their feathers,obviously, they came from a rare black swan! It worked like a charm, and they sold their products like hot cakes. It worked so well, that the name stuck, and now basically any Kenku feather products are usually labeled as being from a ‘black swan,’ with most people being none the wiser of their true origin!

While Kenku can only repeat sounds they’ve heard, they actually have full control of the volume. On paper this sounds pretty useful, but honestly most Kenku just use this ability to scream rude words in public places or scare people for kicks and giggles.

While they aren’t necessarily born with the skill, a lot of Kenku are natural ventriloquists.

The origin story of the Kenku curse may or may not be completely false, or at the very least not entirely correct. No one knows the name of the god they supposedly”betrayed”, when or where it happened, or even what it is the Kenku’s ancestors supposedly stole. There’s a real chance that it’s all hearsay and rumor, or even an act of malice against the poor birds. With the Kenku being largely unable to speak up for themselves, the truth has likely been lost to time even to the Kenku themselves…

Kenku tend to be a bit… Cautious, about what gods they worship, if any. After all, their curse is said to be the work of an angry god, it’s only natural they’d be a bit wary. They tend to shy away from any god with a reputation for being fickle, easily offended, or obsessed with rules and order, and if they are going to worship a god, they’re generally gods that have nice, stable values. Like, a god of family and community, or a god of mercy and kindness. Because a god of family wouldn’t place a massive life ruining curse on your entire race… Right?

Another reason Kenku are cautious of the gods is that many of the more… Dogmatic religious communities view Kenku as being born blasphemers, because of their curse.

Kenku communities are very tight-knit. Everyone knows everybody, they take care of each other, and they all work together to keep their community safe. They’re also more than willing to welcome any other social outcasts they like, So if you walk into a Kenku neighborhood, you could see anything from Werewolves walking around in broad daylight to a friendly black dragon running a barbecue stand. Kenku are often ostracized by society at large, but are highly social and have a strong sense of community, so they tend to adopt whatever fellow weirdo’s they can find.

Kenku never forget a face. Ever. No one’s really sure why, but Kenku have an uncanny ability to remember people, and even pick them out in a crowd. It’s honestly a little spooky sometimes.

Kenku feathers generally come in pitch black, much like common crows, but every now and again you’ll get some Kenku who look like other corvids like Bluejays or Magpies. No one is entirely sure why this happens, as genetics don’t seem to be a factor. A Kenku that looks like a Bluejay can be born from two common crow parents. Regardless of the cause, it’s generally celebrated when it happens, because among Kenku it’s seen as a good omen for the little hatchling, a sign of a good life to come.

Some Kenku like to dye their feathers to look like other birds. Eagles, doves, and Peacocks are the most common, but there’s been a recent uptick of parrots and other tropical birds.
