Just wanted to drop by and thank you for how you write Nikolai. I'm not as big as he is, but I look like gym bros before they go on a cut. Big arms and shoulder but still got love handles. Sometimes I feel like I'm not living up to my potential, but then I read your stuff with Nik and how he's strong with that healthy layer of fat too. Have a great day!
Anon, I wish I could claim some moral purpose, some body positive crusade or higher ethical narrative, but I literally write what I find attractive. I am feral for large, fuzzy men. I see them, I want them. A bit of fat means they're strong; a cut physique means they're starving and not strong. You sound like a wet dream (positive/entirely inappropriate), not sorry.
Kinda linked to this though... This explosion of weight loss injections has given me the heebies. I've done the eating disorder circuit. If there's a fad diet, I've done it. When I was at my worst, you used to have to go to the grey market for shit like ozempic, but now they're just fucking selling it. It's horrific. People are gonna get so hurt.
It's all part of the rising tide of fascism; clean girl aesthetic, thinness, "my period makes me so weak and frazzled tehe", girl math. These are all harbingers of fascism. Someone pointed out that "milk maid" and "barefoot and pregnant" were the fashion themes for Primark this season, I looked, and uh...
The overton window has shifted. The pendulum is swinging right. We need to be awake to all the indicators of it; every innocuous trend, every cultural shift. There's no such thing as "it's not that deep".
i was going through wikipedia and other archives while i was bored at work the other day and found out chuck e cheese used to be a cigar smoking smartass back in the day
but 90s kid syndrome hit and this happened
so now all I can see is an old smoker voiced rat trying to be hip
"This better not be another one of your weird mysteries." Emily gives me her trademark 'I would kill you if I could' stare.
We're in the sitting area outside of our high school, where people wait to be picked up.
Our favorite meeting spot.
"It's 1 AM, I'm tired.." Ashli whines into Charlie's shoulder.
"Okay, guys, hear me out, ok?"
"I knew it! You found another mystery that you're going to drag us into!"
"I promise it's interesting this time, Em-"
"What is it? Aliens? Murder? Kidnapping!?"
I laugh sheepishly "..All of the above?"
Charlie rolls her eyes "Fine, I'm interested. What have you found this time?"
Ashli drinks some of the coffee she brought with her.
"Ok, so" I open my laptop and type in what I've typed before
chuck e cheese disappearances rochville
"That one pizza place, the one that shut down like- forever ago?" Charlie looks at the results, puzzled
"Yep!" I grin "Apparently it wasn't because of lack of business"
"You need to stop going on Tumblr" Emily advises incorrectly
"Wrong, but I'll let it slide since it's the first one tonight. So, anyway, they apparently found this at the crime scene" I pull up an image of a Chuck E. Cheese coupon, with two words on it, saying 'No More'. "Weird, right?"
"Creepy" Ashli notes
"So what you're saying is, we go to the Chuck E. Cheese, and we find out what happened to this guy and the people that went missing?" Charlie leans forward, as invested in the mystery as I am
"Yep!"
"Sounds dangerous. What if whatever made everyone vanish is still there?" Emily, as cautious as always, warns.
"Well, we're in a group, right? If we all stick together, it'll be harder to kill all of us!"
"Fine, but not tonight, at least let me sleep beforehand" Ashli yawns again
"Sunday. You can sleep most of the day Saturday, and then on Sunday we'll take Emily's car and go to the Chuck E. Cheese." Charlie plans
"Got it! And it's..."
"Thursday, Friday now."
"Ok! So, see you guys at school?" I stand, putting my laptop back in my bag
Thinking about a roleplay I did with friends once, so have this story
Pearl is a water element, and a rather powerful, important one, though you probably wouldn't realize that upon first meeting her.
She's a simple girl, aged 16, with long black hair, clothes that are easy to work in, and a determined, messy face that always has a bit of loneliness in her eyes.
She lives in a house by a lake with her guardian and close friend, a demon simply known as Lemon, for his strange powers and shaped head.
She was one of the first to grow up in the age after the rebellion, where the elements chose freedom and unity.
When she was barely even a toddler, uncertainty grew, and the elements gathered to discuss a problem.
The elements were growing uncertain. They wanted one leader.
The air element's leader chose to make a faux prophecy.
A group of children would choose the leader when they were of age twelve.
When Pearl turned six, her uncle, General Waterfall, told her that she was a member of this prophecy, and he gave her his trident.
Being the leader of the waters, he raised her himself so she could be prepared.
When she was eleven, she met the other members of the prophecy.
Blaze, a young fire boy, and Sunny, a light girl.
She got along with them well.
Upon the date of their collective twelfth birthday, they met up again to make the choice.
They stayed in Waterfall's kingdom for a day, and then left.
Pearl saw no point in choosing these people to lead, she thought that they should take lead themselves.
The others disagreed.
So they kept going, making friends and having problems.
At some point, she found herself catching feelings for Blaze.
She accepted a lemon from a strange creature, who then proceeded to follow and protect her.
It creeped her out until it killed the Dark king.
She liked the lemon a lot more after that.
When they got to the fire kingdom, she got in a fight with their leader after they attacked Lemon, which resulted in her drowning the entire castle in a fit of rage.
The fires wanted her to lead them after that.
She refused.
By the end, they'd decided that the Nature queen was to rule them.
But there were disagreements between the group, and Blaze ran off into the woods.
Sunny went back to the Lights.
Pearl and Lemon were the only ones left.
Pearl was heartbroken.
These people were her friends, she trusted them and she thought they trusted her.
She thought of herself as a fool.
She thought the prophecy members were her friends.
She chased after a friendship that was never there and a boy who wasn't meant to love her.
Lemon set her on its shoulders and garbled something in its weird language that only Pearl could understand, and she smiled.
They set off together, to hopefully rebuild their lives in a way that would hurt less.
Pearl may have been wrong about the prophecy members, but she wasn't alone.
