From JayDee on October 31, 2019 Day of the Deadly by George Glass You could have even waited until November 1st. I've been doing lessons on Duolingo. I tried not to overdo it with the Spanish, though; a little adds flavor, but too much seems pretentious. That's really what I was going for. I did a little research. Now that Dia de Muertos is a national holiday in Mexico, everybody there celebrates it to some extent, but it seems to be the southerners who originated it. Thanks! I've seen ofrendas that included cans or bottles of the departed's favorite beverage, and when I first began to conceive of this story, Graciela chugging one was the first image that came into my head. I figured Fish couldn't just be a total mustache-twirler; he had to have a little humanity to him. Enrique is used to doing things that way. Actual Mexican Marines who do anti-drug ops wear masks so the cartel types won't know who they are and have their families killed. Thank you! Cunnilingus isn't my strongest subject, so it's gratifying to hear that. I do believe we did. *takes the others’ hands and bows*

And finally, posted! Title: Damn the Land Warnings: AFFO Complete MCD NoSex (sorry!) Random Irish Summary: Sometimes you shouldn’t go home again… And NOW I can go read all the others tomorrow, and review!

its midrange fast food. Kinda harsh to say hell on earth.

Someone open a Chick-Fil-A?

Dude buys a house out of town from the family of the old Greek immigrant who had it since like World War 2. “Oh, one thing, she said the spring down the bottom of the yard running to the creek is sacred. Never let us play in it. Funny the stuff from the old country, right?” And he laughs and doesn’t think anything of it and then decides he can save on the water bill by plumbing it in to flush his toilet, and finds out that the old dear didn’t move continents alone… Hey, coulda been worse. She’s got another friend living out in the woods, makes hyper realistic stone sculptures in memory of local missing persons… It’s easy to see why I never went anywhere with this, but good luck if you ever do try it! Though got a few other fics to do first, right?

As I recall Mizore is how you learned about yuki-onna. And yeah, a bit of research shows that Keito is a sadistic minor villain from the show, and is indeed a jorōgumo. She even kind of looks like how I described Yua’s in-between form (a woman with black and yellow spider legs sprouting from her torso). Hers sprout from her abdominal muscles, which is a look I considered, but I felt like it would be potentially gross for the readers to imagine. Granted, that was no doubt the intended effect with Keito. I did actually find a sympathetic jorōgumo story after I left that last post. It seems episode 7 of Dororo features a jorōgumo who, after narrowly escaping combat with the protagonist, is rescued by an unsuspecting human whom she eventually falls in love with. Also, while Rachnera from Daily Life with Monster Girl isn’t a jorōgumo, she is technically a non-bad spider woman. I wasn’t counting her before since DLwMG is primarily a comedy. And yes, anime can absolutely be culturally enriching, especially the series that introduce mythology or aspects of Japanese culture! Thanks!
