2024.05.21 15:10 flyestshit [DISCUSSION] MF DOOM & MF GRIMM - Special Herbs + Spices Vol. 1 (20 Years Later)

Solely focused on MF Grimm's rhyming over MF Doom's production, Grimm released this album on May 11th, 2004 on his own Day By Day Entertainment label.
The first ingredient of each song title is a reference to the corresponding track from Doom's Special Herbs series of instrumental albums. Due to the duo's falling out after the release of this album, it is the last record to be released collaboratively.
The album was released prior to and in promotion of MF Grimm's triple-album American Hunger.
Tracklist:
  1. Intro ft. Fat Man Scoop
  2. Arabic Gum + Ajowan = No Snakes Alive Pt. 3
  3. Calamus + Star Anise = Superhero
  4. Dragons Blood + Cayenne = 1000 Degrees
  5. Dragons Blood Resin + Ginger = War Paint
  6. Benzoin Gum + Asafoetida = 10 Years Later
  7. Red #40 + Wasabi = Bottle Rocket
  8. Bergamot + Sumac = Rain Blood Pt. 2
  9. Kava Kava Root + Poppy Seeds = Stress Box
  10. Styrax Gum + Nutmeg = Tick Tick Pt. 2
  11. Mugwort + Cinnamon = Shifting Lanes ft. Kurious
  12. Horehound + Sesame Seeds = Tonight's Show ft. Invisible Man & Lord Smog
  13. Outro ft. Fat Man Scoop
Discussion:
  1. Which Special Herbs beat would you have loved to get rapped over on subsequent releases by the duo?
  2. What is your favorite song on the album? (which is on spotify, btw)

2024.05.21 15:01 Big-Chipmunk-8082 Wow such empty

Why is there a cat with this title under it? Why is the syntax written this way: "Wow, such empty" It sounds like a stupid joke everyone learned in second grade, or a sentence written by animals, if animals could write. People on the internet try to write what they think goes on in a cat or dog's mind (chicken as "chimpkin"), assuming animals think like slower and simpler versions of humans, but the truth is we remain pretty ignorant about how animals process information. On the internet animals have become performing clowns for humans. Which really concerns me. I wonder how many cats get hurt getting flipped in order to make cute videos of them falling off of high slippery surfaces. I wonder how many of them sniff us and try to tell us, hey, you've got cancer, maybe you should see a doctor!

2024.05.21 14:51 CorsairVelo Quitting Ente for a year

Quitting Ente for a year
I'm primarily a desktop user with about 100k photos from a DLSR and MILC cameras, about 50k are setup to be sync to Ente. Been using Ente for a couple years but the desktop app just isn't cutting it for me.
It appears to me that Ente is primarily for mobile photo users and if all I did was shoot on mobile, I'd continue happily. I generally like the product and it's mission and want it to succeed and it may very well do great with just mobile photography users.
My Problems with desktop
  • On Mac, it constantly uses 250% plus or minus of the CPU. I leave it on for a couple days and it's still hogging the machine. This happened on a 2018 intel mac mini and now is happening on a 2023 Mac Studio (M2). It has similar problems on Linux. I reported this "issue" way back.
https://preview.redd.it/t8aahmwdwr1d1.png?width=523&format=png&auto=webp&s=34f4276e6f10f24484f209b78d9cb77c69405adb
  • Desktop app repeatedly flickers: blanks out and reappears. Been happening for over a year.
  • While Desktop app is running and flickering. I can click on a photo and I get a "404" error. Which is hard to resolve without closing out the app and restarting.
https://preview.redd.it/lr4pmdpgwr1d1.jpg?width=299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b78532a47d6b21eaa92227215de06e61e267b9a
  • I log into the website and it flashes a message "nothing to see here yet" quickly before it rebuilds my Memories (photos) from scratch. The website counts up from 0 to 50k (roughly the photos I've got in there). It takes 15 minutes. I guess that's fine if you want to leave the site up constantly. It's probably due to lack of ability to store thumbnails due to encryption or something. Maybe there's a work around. Not that important to me as I mostly use the app.
  • Regarding albums, ente was sync'ing my DLSR folder structure (yyyy /yyyymm /assignment and converted the assignments to albums. Problem was, I have 800 "assignments" or shoots and they are not grouped at all in Ente - I just have a massive set of albums. I would want a way to group albums (family, work, sports , scenic whatever). Not a game changer, but this is probably only a desktop/DSLR user problem, not so much a smartphone user problem. I'd probably work around this if I wasn't getting the 404 errors and high CPU utilization.
Anyway, I just received an "about to renew your subscription" email and I said to myself: I'm going to save the $99 (500GB plan) in 2024 and re-test the service in a year.

2024.05.21 14:46 LilSusSpence Needing help naming a drag show I'm hosting

I'm going to be co hosting a drag show next month and the theme I picked is occult (witchy, spooky, supernatural) and I need to come up with a cute name for it. The host thought "witch bitch" would be fun. I think it's okay. I was thinking something along the lines of "Witches, Bitches, and Boose" since it is bar drag. I wanted to pick some brains on here to see if anyone could come up with a better title.

2024.05.21 14:35 retroidolqueen Album Listening Club

Hello! My name is Cameron. I've been running a Seoul Album Listening Club for the past few months, and I thought now would be a good time to post about it again in the hopes that anyone would be interested in joining!
Every month we spin of wheel of themes (For example: an album you loved as a teen, something with a name in the title, etc) and give everyone a week or so to post recommendations based on the theme. Then, we vote on the recommendations and listen to the album(s) that win. After that, once a month, we meet at a rotating cafe and discuss the albums in depth! It's been really fun so far, with lots of differing genres and opinions.
This month, we're recommending albums based on the theme "Colors." It could be an album with a color in the title, something with a song about colors, or just anything that makes you feel colorful in any sort of way. It's all open to your interpretation!
It's a very non-commital thing so if you are interested, please don't be afraid to post a comment and I can send you the Kakao link!

2024.05.21 14:35 ThatSnarkyFemme I was going through old photos and found this. They bent the rules and let me keep my son’s dependent ID when I left the service because it is so cute.

The funny part of it all, is that because I’m not a “vet bro” type, he now only thinks my ex/his dad did all the things in the Army. He barely registers me as having served. Have you found some discussions aren’t worth having when it comes to your service and how people view it because you are a woman?

2024.05.21 14:14 pyatnitsa19 I rejected a friend in a bad way and now he's acting very weird.

TL;DR I (14F) don't know what to do about my friend/classmate (15M) who has love-hate (this is kind of an exaggeration) feelings for me.
We're in the same class and graduating 8th grade in less than a month and I'm asking for help because I don't want to be the villain in his life. I'm always stressed about hurting people and I only ever tried to be kind and honest, but I was stupid and I messed up this time. I don't want him to remember me as the exact thing I am not. I hate conflict and being mean. I would rather compromise than hurt somebody's feelings, but now I am just at loss.
We started talking more in October and then got pretty close in November and December. We'll call him D. We went out mid December at the mall to buy a book for school and I ended up buying Christmas presents. He helped me pick stuff for all of my friends and then we ate. It was very much a date-like hangout and we even walked arm in arm to the bus stop at the mall. He also walked me from the bus stop to my front door.
Fast forward to a day before our school's Christmas event. I told my friends that I kind of liked him and they convinced me to tell him. I told him and we texted some more at home then we agreed to talk the next day after the event. That evening I thought about it all and I realized that I wasn't ready for a relationship. I am 14 after all and I have the most important exam of my life so far at the end of the school year (this is just the schooling system in my country). The next day I avoided him and then at home I explained everything through text because I was too anxious to do it face-to-face. I was a wimp and I wish I had the guts to actually talk to him. I apologized countless times. I felt horrible and I can't even imagine how it was for him. I still kinda hate myself for it, but at the time I believed it was for the best.
I thought about the whole ordeal and it made me realize I might have attachment issues. I'm so obsessed with being loved (I grew up very lonely) that I feel a certain level of romantic attraction towards anyone who gives me a little more attention (especially men which I know is terrible). I also don't mean this as an excuse, but rather as an explanation to why I acted the way I did. I liked how D made me feel about myself, not actually him (this is horrible, I know). After I explained everything I felt he was cool about it and I actually thought that maybe things were okay. I told him i wasn't going out until after New Year's because I was very busy with family (I wasn't avoiding him purposely I was actually busy) yet for about a week straight he asked me 2 times every day where I was which was kinda weird and made me not want to go out at all even after New Year's.
Fast forward to this March when a common acquaintance of ours (not in our class) talked to D because he'd heard from a friend of his that D still liked me. D told this acquaintance that he does indeed still like me, that I look good and that he likes my big breasts (he said this in a much less respectful way). I was shocked because I couldn't fathom D still liking me after I'd been a total witch to him. We'd been ignoring each other mostly ever since December and even though we agreed to stay friends and I was very confused.
A few days later I was talking to a good friend of mine, D's deskmate, and mentioned the acquaintance who told me D still liked me. I just repeated something funny he said. I didn't say anything about D because he was right there, but D got mad (he probably found out I knew stuff) and broke a pencil. I'd seen that he had problems with anger and jealousy (he used to read my texts to my online friend on the other side of the world who is also a guy and got upset when I'd say they're personal and we weren't even together), but I didn't think it was that bad.
My friend (we'll call her R) told me she found out from another friend in our group that I was driving D crazy with telling his deskmate (a very close friend of mine) about stuff like weird fanfiction about my favourite singer (Gerard Way) and my variety of dirty jokes. From what R understood, he didn't like me speaking about sexual stuff (I haven't done anything like that, it's just an interesting topic to me) around him. I didn't understand why it would bother him, but apparently it did. Maybe jealousy? I don't know.
Nothing much happened until this Saturday when our whole class was taking album photos. The basic and typically "popular" girl in our class invited my group (the 7 emo girls basically) alongside her group (her another 3 people) to the new Japanese restaurant in town. We get along fine with them, though they kinda gossip about us sometimes, so we gladly agreed to eat with them. A girl in our group (whom D liked last year; she was much harsher in rejecting him - she blocked him on all platforms) is a tad bit closer to the popular girl, so the two of them made the reservation for 11 people at the restaurant.
During the shoot, D and another classmate that we're not very close friends with (they're chill, we just don't talk all that much) overheard our sushi plans and asked me if we were going. I said yes and tried to kindly say that we have a reservation already for 11 people and that they can tag along, but sit at another table. I felt bad because I've been excluded countless times in social situations in my life and I didn't want them to feel that. Their parents who were also there questioned me and I was too ashamed to lie, so I said that yes, we had a reservation. D and the other person didn't come in the end.
That evening I texted D apologizing and explaining that I was just invited and that I wasn't the one making the reservation. He said that it's okay and not my fault and he said that the other person was also not mad at me. He asked me why i was so obsessed with apologizing and I made a sharp remark I didn't think through about being annoyed at my friends' insensitivity about excluding them. He asked me why I was telling him all that and I told him to forget it. He encouraged me to continue and just speak my mind. I said no and told him I only had a question. I asked "do you still like me?" and I proceeded to explain why that would be impossible. He said I was changing the subject and I didn't realize that he was the one doing it in reality. He told me again to just speak and that nobody else will know whatever I tell him. I refused, but he somehow convinced me and I made a small confession about being lonely and feeling like only 3 people truly like me. It wasn't as personal as it may seem because I have much deeper feelings I have never told anyone, but I was still shocked that he somehow made me spit out things it takes a lot of hard work to get me to say as I am a very introverted and closed off person. For some context I was literally shaking and hyperventilating from anxiety throughout the whole conversation. I asked him again if he still liked me and he responded in the morning, completely ignoring the question and asking about a math test we recently took.
Yesterday evening, on Sunday, I talked to another classmate and friend (again not very close, but he's nice) whom I'll call L. L told me D had sent the group chat with the other person who I apologized to for the sushi thing, L and another classmate (I presume) screenshots of our whole conversation (even though he promised he'd keep his mouth shut). L sent me a screenshot of D saying I played him before and after I rejected him and said I manipulated him and only pretended to be interested in the things he liked just to get close to him (for the record, I'm a big listener, I love hearing my friends talk about their passions and interests). He also said he hated me. I was shocked and very upset because while telling me everything is alright and that the mess in my mind will get better, he was talking nonsense about me to others and sharing private information.
I told my friends about all of this. R said it's all my fault and that I did give him false hopes even after I rejected him and that I give him too much importance. She basically said I'm a bad person because I told D I wasn't ready to date anybody after saying I liked him. She probably believes I did it for kicks, just like D thinks, but I swear on everything I have that I'm just very dumb and I have no idea how to navigate human relations. I'm a massive people pleaser and it shows. Two friends said that it is what it is and another four said that it is totally not my fault and that I did not give him false hopes after I rejected him and that I barely even acknowledged him during that time (I also think so, but R said I kept flirting with him - I ignored him completely and he ignored me just the same so I am very confused as to what she deems "flirting"). They said I communicated clearly that it's not him, but rather a personal issue and that I am very sorry and I will respect his decision if he doesn't want us to talk or be friends at all anymore. I am in a dilemma.
I feel like a bad bad bad person for what I did and how I acted and I have no idea if R is right and that I did keep giving him false hopes or if all of my other friends are right and it's not my fault. I never thought that my behavior (existing in his perimeter) would be considered as flirting, but apparently R thinks otherwise. In R's opinion sending him two TikToks in 3 months and talking to him 3 maybe 4 times through text and another two face-to-face from December to now was too much attention.
So, am I a horrible person who deserves unhappiness or is D just overreacting and being manipulative and toxic? Please help this is really messing with my mind.

2024.05.21 13:55 happy_hibiscus0 Help with loose fitting back?

Help with loose fitting back?
I'm making the Fiore dress by Fashion Wanderer (cute dress, not necessarily the best pattern), and the top back is too loose. I'm not sure the best way to alter it. Any suggestions appreciated! Apologies for the low quality photos, I had to take them with my computer to get the back of the dress without twisting.
Are back darts appropriate here? And should they go closer to the underarm/side seam or closer to the center back seam? The front fits much better than the back, so I would prefer not to redo the side seams with a bigger seam allowance.
Back of the dress - it's loose all over, but comfortably loose in the shoulder and gapping hugely at the bottom.
at an angle to show the gapping better
I altered the original pattern so the back bodice pieces would be longelong enough to fully cover a bra. Now am wondering if that was a mistake…
Also, I know it needs a press! It wrinkles if you look at it sideways, so I'm pressing before sewing each step.

FYI, this is a story COLLECTION. Lots of standalones technically. So, you can basically start to read at any chapter, no pre-read of the other chapters needed technically (other than maybe getting better descriptions of characters than: Adam Vir=human, Krill=antlike alien, Sunny=tall alien, Conn=telepathic alien). The numbers are (mostly) only for organization of posts and continuity.

Here is the link to the master-post.
She got up in the dark, with only the dim ambience of soft blue lighting to accompany her. She stretched all four arms, her two legs, and rolled her neck. It struck her as mildly interesting in that moment, how something so small could connect them to humans, The thought was fleeting as she took another step forward to kneel down on the floor. There, in a little alcove in the wall, she had set a volcanic rock from Anin, dried moss, and other paraphernalia from her home world. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath resting her hands together.
Praise and respect to the spirits of Anin. Praise the fathers and mothers of war gone to their rest below the moss and the earth. Praise their spirits that watch from the sky and peer through the ether down upon us.
She continued the slow mantra in the style of Prayer learned from Naktan and pulled her concentration to her core, ignoring anything and everything around her. A deep state of meditation overtook her. She would never have done this if she thought there were any chance that she was in danger, but below she knew Earth glowed like a sphere before their orbiting ship. There was no worry of invasion.
She thought she heard something at one point, but chose to ignore it as she continued her mantra.
Eventually, and after an unknown amount of minutes, she stood and turned slowly to find-
She stopped, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"What are you doing?”
Adam burrowed his way further down into her blankets, nuzzling his head up against her pillow,
"So warm, and comfy!"
She tried not to smile,
"You dumbass."
He pulled the blankets tighter around himself,
"You know, I did come here to talk to you, but now I actually am really comfortable, so come back in two hours."
"I- This is MY home!"
He closed his eyes and pretended to snore loudly.
She rolled her eyes as she watched him theatrically pretend to sleep. She looked around mildly for a moment, before picking up another pillow and glancing at the door. She casually walked over, dropped the pillow on his head and then held it down as if she intended to smother him.
”Die human scum!”
That got him up and moving.
Before long the two of them were grappling for the upper hand, him trying to put her in a choke hold, and her using her lower arms to pinch him.
He yelped,
"Ouch! Pinching is illegal!”
"Sissy."
He clamped his legs around her lower arms, pinning them in place.
She struggled for a minute and then went limp.
She could feel his smug smile,
"I win, I beat the saint of Anin. Everyone bow at my feet."
"You say that, but if this were a real fight, since you’re a human male, you're the one with a self-destruct button."
"Self-destruct button...?"
"Meaning if this were a real fight, I would have punched you in the balls."
"Yaoooutch… Oh god… Please don't."
Finally, he let her go, leaving the two of them to lay on her bed, sheets scattered on the floor around them, and her pillows in disarray. Adam put his hands behind his head and sighed.
She glanced over at him,
"I don't suppose you came to just hang out. Here on Admiral-ly business?"
He groaned, pulling one of her pillows over his face,
"Please smother me for real this time."
She leaned up on one of her elbows,
"Why?"
"I don't wanna be an adult anymore!"
She tilted her head to the side, watching in amusement as he attempted to throw a childlike tantrum, but only really had the energy to kick his feet once,
"It's boring and lame and they won’t let me wear heelies to important meetings... also children don't have to pay taxes."
She laughed, pulling the pillow from his face,
"Adam you are many things, but 'adult' is not one of them."
He grinned slightly,
"True enough."
He sighed again and rested his head back against the pillows,
"I just want to get back to what we are supposed to be doing, exploring the universe and making cool alien friends."
He threw up his hands in frustration,
"But suddenly I find myself embroiled in stupid annoying politics that I don't understand, being used by people who are, let’s face it, WAY smarter than me, constantly finding myself getting manipulated."
She huffed,
"They aren't smarter than you Adam, they're just manipulative, and you aren't."
He sighed,
"Fair enough."
Then he looked at her, bright green eyes reflecting the soft ambient blue light,
"I just, I miss this, I miss us, I miss hanging out and doing stupid shit, and all of the things I could do when I wasn't so important and this operation was smaller."
She smiled rather sadly reaching one hand over for his, lacing the four of her fingers through the five of his,
"Well someone has to do the hard things, who better than you?”
He glanced over at her, raising an eyebrow,
"Or you, miss saint?”
She rolled her eyes again,
"Can't seem to get you off of that. I'm still the same person I used to be."
"But with power."
She elbowed him gently and he grinned,
"But really, I am proud and impressed and... Let's be honest super super smug that 'I' know you personally."
"I know, I am pretty terrific."
The two of them laughed for a minute before settling down again. He glanced over to her little shrine on the wall,
"What were you doing just then?"
She looked up at the ceiling, following the lines of metal and rivets with her eyes,
"Praying to the spirits of Anin."
Embarrassed, he shifted,
"I didn't know you were... Well I didn't think you were all that religious?"
She shrugged,
"Don't feel bad, it's sort of a new thing. Back before all this, it was sort of just stories to me. Like I believed it because that was what everyone believed, but I didn't really accept it, or feel it the way I do now. After everything with my mother, it was hard to feel connected to something I felt I wasn't a part of... But then after visiting my mother, after becoming a saint for a religion I never really followed... Well, it started to make more sense. It feels real now in a way that it never did."
She turned to look at him, finding him watching her, the UV blue stripes in his skin glowing blue.
"I believe in the spirits of Anin more than I ever have."
He smiled at her and squeezed her hand,
"I'm glad to hear it."
They lapsed into silence for a long moment, staring up at the ceiling before, inevitably he broke it,
"So this makes you like, space Moses right?”
She frowned and turned to look at him,
"What is a “Moses”?"
He grinned,
"A guy from one of the Earth Religions. You know, guy follows god's directions to lead his people away from slavery, climbs a mountain, receives the word of god, comes down to give it to the people, that sort of thing."
Sunny tilted her head slightly to the side,
"Are you religious?"
He paused, frowning,
"I... well I... don't really know. My family has been some flavor of Christian for a long time."
"Christian?"
"Uh yeah, the general idea is that there is one all-powerful deity who created everything. He has rules and laws that you are supposed to follow, the general tenants of this specific religion mostly boil down to: love everyone and don't be a dick, which humans are notoriously bad at. You sin you go to hell, a very bad place after you die, and if you are a good person you go to heaven. Problem is everyone is a sinner and breaks the rules, so really no one was going to get into heaven."
"That sounds bleak..."
"Well, that's where the other stuff comes in. Basically, this all-powerful deity sent down his son in human form to live a perfect life, so when he was martyred he took on the sins of all of humanity and paid for them in the greatest act of mercy to open the gate for the rest of us into heaven."
Sunny shifted as he tilted to the side to lay in the crook of her arms,
"Of course that is just one religion among tons on earth, we aren't really as cohesive in our beliefs as Drev are... As for me... I'm not really sure."
She tilted her head to the side, cheek resting against his hair,
"After seeing space, I become more and more convinced of some... Thing that created everything, but beyond that it's sort of a tossup."
She ran one hand through his hair, coarse but still soft somehow.
"You know my name comes from that religion?”
She turned her head to look at him,
"Oh, really?”
"Adam was the first man."
"What do you mean!?”
Adam shrugged,
"He was supposedly the first man that god created, from the dust of the earth... I think?"
She gave him a sidelong glance,
"Look, and you get to be the first idiot in space."
He snorted and poked her in the ribs.
"There were PLENTY of idiots in space before me, believe you me."
"Mmm I don't know, you are pretty dumb."
He laughed, grabbing a pillow and hitting her with it. She rolled over so she was lying on top of him and then went limp.
He struggled,
"Get your big ass off me."
"Oh no, I have been attacked by a sudden acute case of the “my spine doesn't work anymore”-disease."
"If you don't move, you'll suddenly find yourself with a case of “fist in your face”-disease."
She laughed and rolled off him, making sure the hard parts of her carapace were sticking down for maximum discomfort.
He grunted.
They returned to lying down next to each other in the half darkness. Sunny reached over and turned on some quiet music in the background as the two of them sat and talked, and laughed.
"I can't wait to get back to deep space."
He closed his eyes and hummed softly at the thought,
"Just the crew and the darkness and nothing ahead of us but an endless frontier."
Surprisingly, she found the thought to be more than a little comforting, and closed her eyes thinking about the vast reaches of blackness and the endless spinning galaxies.
"And while we are out, we can drop Conn into a pulsar."
He snorted,
“Why? Well first of for scientific reasons! If a marshmallow causes a nuclear blast, I wonder what dropping Conn would do… but at least he’d be dead.”
"That billowy bastard would survive and you know it."
She huffed,
"Still though, if I have to hear one more smug lecture how he has a child with you, I'm gonna wring his scrawny neck."
He grinned teeth flashing blue in the light,
"Is someone... Jealous?"
Sunny laughed, almost tipping him off the bed and onto the floor with her mirth,
"Yes Adam, I am totally jealous, really I am, ‘kay?. I mean who wouldn't want to have a child with YOU, big dumb, dork. Really the perfect place to put my superior genes."
"Superior genes, says someone who can't reach the top shelf."
She kicked him, foot clanging off his prosthetic,
"I am a foot taller than you."
He placed his hand next to his ear,
"What was that, I can't hear you over how short you are."
Sunny shook her head,
"At least I have binocular vision and both my knees."
"So we are gonna ignore that that binocular vision is due to a prosthetic now after the whole “your mom” incident? And also, veeery important: weird neck nostrils, don't forget about those!"
"Oh yes, so I can’t house them on my face like you and your bigass nose."
"Low blow, low blow."
"There are... Lower things... I could make fun of."
He snorted,
"Can't make fun of it if you've never seen it. You on the other hand, walking around in the nude..."
"You're welcome. Who wouldn't love…"
She gestured to herself,
"This."
"Mmm yeah... chitin, very sexy."
"I am a gift to the universe, and should be appreciated by everyone."
He brushed a hand through his hair,
"Well I find that real gifts are gift wrapped, so jot that down."
"Oh yeah, like a prank gift when you put something lame in a box for something cool."
He frowned at her,
"You wound me. My feelings are so very very hurt. I might even cry."
"I drink human tears."
"That… that's really gross.'
She laughed and then they lapsed into silence. She could hear him breathing quietly next to her in the darkness, his chest rising and falling under the ambient blue light. She looked across the room to where her saint armor was hanging in its climate-controlled case illuminated to a pearly sheen.
"Adam?"
"Yeah?”
"You know I'm just kidding about calling you dumb right?"
"Yeah I know."
"I'm proud of what you've been doing."
Adam turned to look at her rather incredulous,
"Me, of what? I haven't been doing shit."
"So, we are just going to ignore you overthrowing a maniacal politician while simultaneously piloting a 2,000 year old spacecraft?"
"That was more Conn and Eris than it was me."
"It was your idea."
"Let’s not forget Admiral Kelly."
Sunny pulled him closer,
"I am sorry, I will not be accepting anything other than you acknowledging that you did a good job."
"Screw you!”
"You'd like that wouldn't you?”
He sighed,
"You've been talking to Ramirez WAY too much."
She was only slightly smug as she rested her head back against the pillow,
"I really should get up and train..."
"We should yeah..."
Neither of them moved.
"Alternatively, we could just... Lay here... All day and do... nothing."
She looked up at the ceiling for a long moment and pretended to be in deep contemplation before…
"Well it's official, you have convinced me. You and your silver tongue."
"I am a master negotiator."
He shifted position putting one arm behind his head,
"Think about it, by this time tomorrow we will be back to space exploring and doing what we should have been doing all along. I can't wait."
"That makes two of us."

Want to find a specific one, see the whole list or check fanart?
Here is the link to the master-post.
Intro post by me
OC-whole collection
Patreon of the author
Thanks for reading! As you saw in the title, this is a cross posted story written by starrfallknightrise and I'll just upload some of it here for you guys, if you are interested and want to read ahead, the original story-collection can be found on tumblr or wattpad to read for free. (link above this text under "OC:..." ) It is the Empyrean Iris story collection by starfallknightrise. Also, if you want to know more about the story collection i made an intro post about it, so feel free to check that out to see what other great characters to look forward to! (Link also above this text). I have no affiliations to the author; just thought I’d share some of the great stories you might enjoy a lot!
Obviously, I have Charlie’s permission to post this and for the people already knowing the stories, or starting to read them: If you follow the link and check out the story you will see some differences. I made some small (non-artistic) changes, mainly correcting writing mistakes, pronoun correction and some small additional info here and there of things which were not thought of/forgotten or even were added/changed in later stories (like the “USS->UNSC” prefix of Stabby, Chalar=/->Sunny etc). As well as some "biggemajor" changes in descriptions and info’s for the same stringency/continuity reason. That can be explained by the story collection being, well a story collection at the start with many standalone-stories just starring the same people, but later on it gets more to a stringent storyline with backstories and throwbacks. (For example Adam Vir has some HEAVY scars over his body, following his bones, which were not really talked about up till half the collection, where it says it covers his whole body and you find out via backflash that he had them the whole time and how he got them, they just weren't mentioned before. However, I would think a doctor would at least see these scars before that, especially since he gets analyzed, treated and goes shirtless/in T-shirts in some stories). So TLDR: Writing and some descriptions are slightly changed, with full OK from the author, since he himself did not bother to correct these things before.

2024.05.21 13:47 Debblesxo 27[F4M] Europe/Anywhere/Online - Looking for my golden retriever boyfriend!

Hi :)
I'm Deb, 27, from Belgium and looking for someone to fall in love with! I don't really care where you're from (I'm open to long distance), but I do care that we both put in the effort :)
Here's a little about me:
I'm 5'7, curvy with dyed hair and hazel eyes.
I'm a huge animal lover and have a cat and dog of my own, and yes, I'll gladly share pictures.
I'm a huge foodie. I love discovering new recipes, desserts, and main courses but mostly a pasta lover. Some of my favorites are chicken Alfredo, tiramisu, mac and cheese (simple but so gooooood), creme brulee aaaaaand homemade pizza!
I'm a gamer. I play shooters mostly, on PC (PC masterrace ofc) games like Overwatch, COD, Siege, and some CS2. I also play the Sims whenever I feel a little overwhelmed.
I adore listening to music. If you've got a favorite song or artist, send them my way! I've mostly been listening to Noah Kahan, Benson Boone, Beyonce, Taylor Swifts new album and some Hozier!
Now as to what I'm looking for: Someone who can sweep me off my feet! I would love someone who matches my vibe. Someone who maybe gets a little obsessed with me (in a cute way😂), someone who doesn't mind me spamming them, either with selfies or with tiktoks. I love sending and receiving voicenotes so I'd love it if you do too :) I'm a flirty person when the energy feels right, so bring your A-game!
If you've read this far, (congratulations, because I can rant) don't hesitate to shoot me a message with a little introduction, a picture of yourself, if you don't mind, and let's get this chat going :)
(Please be between 26-36 if you decide to message me)

2024.05.21 13:45 Nightmare_Pumpkin Involved in a car accident is there anything more I can do?

Like the title says I was recently in a car accident where after I merged over into the left lane the driver in front of me slowed down almost to a stop so naturally I did as well when I was suddenly hit. The damage wasn't major enough to keep me from driving but my rear bumper on the driver side is messed up while their front passenger side was messed up. We exchanged info: insurance, licenses, took photos police came filed a crash report that's still processing. I've already filed a claim with my company who said so far I'm not at fault and I needed to file a claim with their company otherwise I have to pay the deductible their company said they haven't reached out yet and they'll need to do a liability investigation but I have filed a claim. So far I think I've done everything I need to but is there anything else I should do? First accident so any advice is appreciated.
