1 minute of washing machine time is like 10 minutes human time. they live on a completely different scale that we could never begin to conceptualize
Update from the man himself

Xavier lies on the couch, eyes closed, chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. His hoodie is slightly rumpled, one arm dangling off the edge of the cushions.
You approach quietly, drawn by an irresistible urge to feel his warmth. Without hesitation, you slide into the space beside him, immediately seeking the comfort only he can provide.
Xavier stirs, his eyes fluttering open briefly. For a moment, his expression shiftsβthe corners of his mouth lifting slightlyβbefore his arms instinctively wrap around you.
βMmm,β he murmurs, voice thick with slumber. βYouβre here.β
You press closer, burying your face against the soft fabric of his hoodie, inhaling deeply. His scent envelops you completelyβfamiliar and grounding.
βYouβre so warm,β you whisper, feeling the dayβs tensions begin to dissolve. βI could stay like this forever.β
Your bodies fit together perfectly, the rise and fall of his chest gradually syncing with your own breathing. The world outside fades away as you focus on the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath your ear.
βI donβt mind if you do,β he replies quietly, his fingers finding their way to your hair.
His eyes close again, but that subtle smile remainsβa sight that makes your heart flutter. Here, in the silence between you, words become unnecessary. When he adjusts his position, itβs only to draw you closer against him.
As consciousness begins to drift away, you tighten your hold slightly, unwilling to let go even in sleep. The last thing you register before falling asleep is Xavier pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head, his silent way of saying everything words could never quite capture, and his arms securing you against himβsteady, reliable, exactly what you needed.

The sight of Zayne seated on the edge of the bed, still in his day clothes but with his collar unbuttoned, sends a wave of longing through you. Your body aches with the need to be heldβspecifically by him.
βI need fifteen more minutes,β he states without looking up, somehow sensing your presence. βTwenty, at most.β
You retreat to the bedroom, arranging yourself among the pillows, the wait almost unbearable. Every minute crawls by as you imagine the feeling of being gathered against his chest, surrounded by his warmth. The pull toward him is almost physical, a tightening sensation that only his touch can release.
True to his word, exactly fourteen minutes later, the soft pad of slippers against hardwood signals his approach. Relief floods through you at the sound.
He appears in the doorway, and you extend your arms instinctively, the need for his closeness overwhelming all other thoughts.
βYouβre early,β you note with grateful surprise.
βApparently, I can do my tasks faster when I know youβre waiting,β Zayne replies.
The mattress dips as he slides in beside you, and you waste no time pressing yourself against his chest, your arms wrapping around him with desperate need. His body is warm against yours, and you sigh with contentment as his scent surrounds you.
βIβve been needing this all day,β you confess against his shirt, feeling the tension finally release as his arms encircle you.
Zayne shifts slightly, tilting your chin up with gentle fingers to study your face with the same intensity he gives his most complex cases. Whatever he finds makes him pull you closer, adjusting his position to maximize your comfort.
βBetter now,β he murmurs, tightening his arms around you before you feel him press a kiss to your temple, lingering there for a moment.

The urge builds throughout the dayβa growing, insistent need to feel Rafayelβs arms around you. You find him by the window, humming softly as sunlight bathes his figure. The sight of himβso vibrant and aliveβonly intensifies your craving for his touch.
βRafayel,β you call softly, arms already half-raised in anticipation.
The moment he sees you, understanding dawns immediately. He spins toward you with a flourish, meeting your unspoken need without hesitation.
βPerfect timing. I was just thinking of you,β he says as he closes the distance between you in quick strides.
You collide with him halfway, arms wrapping around his waist, face pressed against his chest. The contact sends immediate relief coursing through youβlike cool water after a long thirst.
βYou smell like the ocean and sunshine,β you mumble against the fabric of his shirt. βI couldnβt resist anymore.β
His arms encircle you completely, lifting you slightly as he backs toward the overstuffed couch in the corner, understanding your need without explanation.
βThen you shall have me,β he declares, falling backward onto the cushions and bringing you down with him in a tangle of limbs. βFor as long as you need.β
You settle against him, fingers clutching at his shirt, drawing him closer still. He smells of turpentine and sea salt, of creativity and freedom. Your body relaxes completely for the first time all day, the desperate need that drove you to seek him out finally satisfied in his enthusiastic embrace.
You sigh contentedly, ear pressed against his chest to hear the steady rhythm of his heart. His fingers find their way to your hair, twirling strands around his fingers as your breathing synchronizes with his. Outside, seagulls call to each other, but neither of you makes any move to break the perfect connection.
βStay just like this,β you whisper. βI donβt want to let go yet.β
His laugh bubbles up in response, the sound vibrating through his chest against your ear. βThen the rest can wait.β
πππππ
The longing strikes without warningβan intense need to be held in Sylusβs arms. Nothing else will satisfy this particular craving; only him.
You make your way to his room, the journey giving you time to acknowledge how completely this need has consumed you. You find him standing by the window, the city sprawled below.
He turns at the sound of your footsteps, one eyebrow lifting slightly as he takes you in.
βWell,β he says, setting down a glass of wine, βthis is a pleasant surprise.β
Words feel unnecessary as you approach him, arms already reaching for him, need written plainly across your face. You press yourself against him, inhaling his distinct scent, feeling your pulse steady at the contact.
βDonβt reschedule on my account,β you say, voice slightly muffled against his chest, though you make no move to pull away. βBut I couldnβt wait another minute to see you.β
βSimply my company?β he murmurs against your hair, arms encircling you with practiced ease.
Thereβs something warm in his tone as he guides you to sit, arranging you both so youβre nestled against his chest, exactly as youβd been craving all day. His fingers trace idle patterns along your spine, releasing tension you hadnβt realized you were carrying.
βTell me,β he says, tilting your chin up, eyes searching yours. βWhat brought on this sudden need for closeness? Not that Iβm complaining.β
The city lights reflect in his eyes, catching on the edges of his features as he studies you with uncharacteristic patience.
You shake your head slightly, unable to articulate the bone-deep longing that drew you here. Words seem inadequate to explain how completely his embrace satisfies something essential within you.
βJust wanted to be close to you,β you answer simply, settling back against him, feeling the rightness of being exactly where you belong.
βHmmβ¦ I wonder what you might demand next.β Yet his arms tighten around you. Outside, the city continues its evening pulse, but here, in this moment, his attention is focused solely on you, as though nothing beyond this room matters.

Caleb tosses his uniform jacket over a chair, his face lighting up the moment he spots you lingering by the bedroom door. In an instant, his professional demeanor melts away completely.
βCaleb,β his name escapes your lips, arms already outstretched.
βThere you are,β he says, voice warm with affection as he closes the distance between you in long, eager strides. βBest sight in the entire galaxy.β
His arms are around you before you can respond, lifting you slightly as he spins once, the movement playful despite the strength evident in his embrace. When he sets you down, he doesnβt let go, instead dropping his forehead to rest against yours.
βPlease tell me youβre waiting for cuddles,β he breathes, already walking backward toward the bed, guiding you along. βBecause after that strategy meeting, Iβve been thinking about holding you for approximately four hours and seventeen minutes.β
Your arms wrap around him eagerly, face pressed against his chest, breathing him in deeply. The contact sends immediate relief flooding through your system, like finding shelter in a storm.
βThe entire room feels cold without you,β you confess, clinging to him. βWant cuddles.β
βThen youβre in luck,β he murmurs against your hair, already walking backward toward the bed, keeping you firmly in his embrace. βBecause holding you happens to be my specialty.β
The back of his knees hit the mattress and you follow him down eagerly, arranging yourself against his chest, unwilling to allow even an inch of separation. His scent envelops youβwarm and comforting.
His hand finds yours, fingers intertwining as he presses a kiss to your temple. Through the view beside the bed, stars streak by in ribbons of light, but his eyes remain fixed on you.
βI could hold you like this forever,β he whispers against your hair, his arms forming a protective circle around you.
In this moment, wrapped in Calebβs arms, the rest of the universe fades awayβleaving only the two of you, connected exactly as you needed to be.
Based on this request.
so. my wife came downstairs just as i took a bite out of the remaining half red onion on the counter. literally within seconds of just getting away with it. i looked at her, and she looked at me, and we both sat there a moment, all frozen, beforeshe said babs, what the fuck. i tried to say i can explain but it came out as or corn explorn because such was the onion in my mouth that there was no room for words. its honestly a miracle that she understood me at all. at least, i'm assuming that she understood me because she did let me get my bearings for a few moments. a smarter man would've used that time to think up a good lie, but instead i just chewed as fast as i could because i knew i was gonna have to tell a whopper and i really wanted to be able to use big words again.
big words are instrumental to telling a whopper.
anyway, i totally ran out of time. i barely got my first swallow of onion in before she said well?, and i did at least have an empty mouth to match my empty head. but also i had no lies. so i looked her dead in the face, opened my mouth and waited, every bit as curious as her, to hear what excuse my mouth was gonna come up with.
im pregnant, said my mouth.
great job, mouth, said my brain.
mmmmm onion, said my mouth.
better you than me, said my wife. then she went upstairs. it has been two hours she still refuses to kiss me. im devastated. im shook. im crying a little, i think.
(but that might just be the onion.)
absolute bullshit that humans evolved to require both water and salt as basic nutritional requirements....and 71% of the earth is covered by a mixture of water and salt......... ... . and humans cant. DRINK TH E fUCKENG SALTY WATER
adventure time slang is weird cuz like. when you first watch the show and hear the slang you're like "oh this is cringy slang but its not like awful" but it gets to a point where the voice actors deliver the slang so naturally you don't even notice it and its just. part of the world's vernacular. I can't think of any other show that's done in-universe slang like this
losing my shit over this
