CONGRATULATIONS ZUKO! YOU ARE THE BEST! YOU DESERVE THAT BIG STACK OF MONEY!!!



And I'm only a LITTLE sad you didn't go UNDER the mountain but at least you got to see all of Toph's hard work! Anyway, let's party! Or at least stuff our faces with lots of jalapeno poppers and roll in all your mountains of cash? (Did they give you cash?? I don't even know.)

Listen up losers. With the race coming up it's occurred to me some of you are PAINFULLY BAD at trash talk. None of this "your car is a muted color of blue that does not suit you". NO. You gotta go for the JUGULAR. You gotta stab them in the GUT with WORDS. You gotta make them feel it, it's personal. It's raw. It's an art.

Learn your opponent. Pick on your friends. Don't just grab some random guy who just learned to drive and hasn't said shit to you and make fun of him, you're just being a dick. Focus on the race and the car and your opponents clear lack of skills. Or their face, if you get desperate. Oh also don't pull out the "your mom" trash talk, you know how much trauma all you idiots have? So much. You're gonna make somebody get all "but my mom is terrible and disowned me when I was twelve" and then you'll feel like the world's biggest prick. DO talk about how great you are in comparison to the other guy, but like, in a cool way.

Need practice? Hit me with it, I've got iron skin.

Don't worry if you happen to see me out there.   It's not really me.  The real me is safe and sound in a brightly lit room.  What you're seeing is a projection of me, one that can fight the daemons with my shine. 

Does anyone want to team up and kick daemon ass together?

BILLY, TOMMY, TOPH, ROZ + PETER

Enough time has passed from 'vibrators' so this won't be awk I'm dedicating once a week to making an enormous amount of food to be consumed that night with maybe a sit down dinner or kept as leftovers. Bringing a friend or two to help put a dent in things is something I will not say no to. I also take requests?

And with things more settled this is a blanket reminder that my home is open to you all for whatever reason. It is usually quiet, and I usually have cookies.

I have spent the last seventy-two hours¹ refining additional elements² on the car³, and I am now comfortable in saying this: Viktor⁴, I trash talk you⁵.


1. This exceeds my usual limits of going without sleep. I find I'm uncertain where I live now⁶
2. Finding a balance of burst speed and sustained speed is exciting work. I've done similar before, but only for extremely utilitarian reasons and life-or-death stakes. Playing with it, knowing that even should I fail, the only lasting consequence will be to my pride⁷, is fun I've not gotten to have previously. I like it.
3. For the Great Vallo Race
4. Others may also consider themselves trash-talked if they wish. My confidence in my work is absolute.
5. I have read about the trash talk and I understand it is meant to be a good-natured sort of adversarial communication between friends. If I am doing it incorrectly, please advise so I may adjust my approach accordingly. These things do not come easily for me, but I do find that with study and occasional corrections from those who understand people, I can improve.
6. Genya, my love, if you would be so kind as to give me a hand at the shop, I would appreciate it.
7. Everyone should applaud my wife for being as brave and gracious as she is beautiful, because after considering the matter she has elected to withhold any objection to my taking the passenger seat while Nikolai drives our creation.

I'm not sure what the point of that was, Vallo.

AGAIN? REALLY?

[TEAM AVATAR (GAANG)]

Aang where are you? Don't make me track you down the hard way cause I'll do it.

PRIVATE TO WANDA, CC BILLY.

Mom?

EDITED TO ADD: PRIVATE TO TOPH.

Raincheck on hanging out later? Gonna spend time with my mom and see what stupid shit I do with appliances will keep her distracted.

Anyone know what's up with the sudden glacier showing up off the coast? We spotted it after my new Monday morning ritual of getting kidnapped by a winged horse and getting flown over water as a scare tactic. There's music coming from it too - we didn't land on it because a) it was cold and b) it felt like magic and I don't mess with that unless I know for sure it's not a trap or hostile.

I'll send coordinates to whoever needs it.

Hello. I don't post here a lot.

In case anyone is wondering about the insane amount of erotica I was writing when Vallo gave us weird and useless abilities - they have been published and are available for purchase. I hate every single thing I wrote but at least making some kind of profit lessens the shame. Is this what rock bottom looks like Thank you, Sophie, for doing that with me.

I don't celebrate July 4th in the traditional American sense but it's still a friend's birthday. There will be Captain America tea blends for a limited time at Looking Glass Tea and they taste amazing iced, too.

Lastly, for anyone who may frequent the Sanctum regularly I have some... demonic guards have have arrived from back home. They're slightly aimless and very clumsy, try to ignore them. I know their size and the way their face looks makes it difficult but just... try.

I'm making an ice cave down by the lake until this passes.

Does anyone want a stubborn father need anything after all of [...] uh, that, yesterday? Atlantis took a pretty big hit too since the Flan-ken thing started in the water, if anyone's free to head down there and help them out. Nothing in the forest was hit as badly as the Creepy Fuckers, thankfully, and a lot of wards held up that I saw in the forest? So that's a good sign!

I'll be at my usual farms re-doing any wards that need it and then heading down to Atlantis, so if you need anything from me or see any wards of mine around the forest that took a hit, let me know? Or if you know of someone that could use some help after everything put it here and people can use this as a catch-all.

Also! Hey! Good job! I don't know who needs to hear this but working as a community and a team for fights and the recovery and rebuilding has been one of my favorite things here in Vallo. Even when You guys are all great, and I'm proud to be a part of all of this.

In an effort to remain accountable for progress, I'm leaving my first attempts at pottery for my summer class public. This is to fulfill my gen eds because apparently, I can't just take another math class, and to keep a promise to not take a "soul-sucking" class for one semester.

If someone else wanted to leave their first bad attempts at some hobby here too, you're more than welcome. Please.

Did you know that, in the Omegaverse, only an Alpha can mark an Omega as their mate? The Alpha bites on the scent gland, and that's when the Omega marks them back.

I learned this after the fifth or so fanfiction - we currently have "Meet Me At The Full Moon" on our fridge, and I'll be doing a live reading of "Marked" once Wanda finishes, if anyone wants to drop by. She's just cranking them out and I couldn't be more proud of her a/b/o filth.










No beta, we die like we're on the Murder Mansion stairs.

This is all very nice, but I need a pound of titanium, a pound of aluminum, a cup of nitroglycerin, paper, and a pencil before this idea slips my mind. I didn't leave my wedding reception to not get this alloy figured out. A little assistance, please?

Um, so, someone PLEASE tell me why I can't live in a fabulous penthouse and instead am stuck in some lame housing that reminds me of dorms? And I have none of my CLOTHES and most importantly, my PINK EYELINER??? We have to buy everything, and they give us less allowance in a month than my dad gives me in a WEEK. Do I have to...get a JOB to live in the lifestyle to which I am accustomed???

Is there at least a Bergdorf's so I can find something even remotely suitable to wear??

Also, when I asked for a pink laptop they didn't even acknowledge me. RUDE MUCH?

I'm told there are other Camp Halfblood people here so...hello!

And for all you cute boys out there, I'm Drew.

( Saving your flist! )

Bonfire tonight (after the musical) at Moowich Cove. BYOB, I'll have pizza, soda, and junk food. Aang's fault. (And Zuko.)

Hi! So the baby bison aren't so BABY anymore and they need to practice flying with passengers more. The problem is they're VERY easily distracted so their flights tend to be uhhhhh erratic?? I'm doing my best to get them all some air time each week when I'm not at the Sanctuary, but I could use a little help. Anybody with flying experience would be great! The ability to float or control the elements would probably work well too. Or just even anybody who won't DIE if they fall from the sky?? Not that you will for sure fall from the sky! Boshay hasn't dropped me at ALL yet. He does really like to dive though haha ANYWAY.

Thank you?!

Happy May to everyone in Vallo! And happy seventeen years of being alive to meeeeee! I started my day with eating cake for breakfast and I have zero regrets. Doubly happy that some people are back to being themselves too!
