BUCKLE Locations

**Chapter 1** "Finnian, I swear to f—" The curse barely left Julian Blackwood's mouth before a long, elegant hand sealed it shut. Finnian Grey leaned in, lips brushing the side of Julian's neck. His voice was low, intimate, right against Julian's ear. "Hey," he said softly. "Easy there, sweetheart. You've got a filthy mouth when you're worked up." The bedroom doors and windows stood wide open. Thin curtains stirred lazily in the night breeze, drifting back and forth, restless and slow. Julian lay sprawled across the bed, every joint loose, boneless. He didn't even try to move. His gaze dragged over the r...

Eye of the Cyborg Fierce winds whipped across the blood red desert of Dumar, and it stormy scarlet skies were filled with soaring starships. A large city sparkled in the hellish light, safe from the storm behind flickering photonic forcefields. It was a volatile planet prone to storms and volcanoes. In a crowded bar in the domed city’s speedy side, humanoids and aliens from dozens of different worlds drank and talked. Most of them sat on hovering gel cushions while life sized 3-d holograms of **** females danced above the crowd. The exotic music and verbal clamor was chaotic. But it quieted down in a sudden hush as a lone figure entered the establishment. It was an Earth wo...

I'm pregnant with my third baby and looking to reduce plastic and microplastics in our lives. I'm getting cloth diapers with wool covers, but the problem lies in how to store dirty diapers in between when they are used and when they are washed. My primary concern is microplastic shedding. I have been using disposable plastic bags as my diaper pail liners, but then I found out that there exist reusable diaper pail liners that you just throw in the wash with the diapers. Cool. So I got one of those, not thinking about the fact that of course it's made of polyester (TPU) and sheds microplastics every time you wash it. And it seems worse to put microplastics in our water supply...

(This is my first time posting so I’m sorry if this is the wrong subreddit or format) I (20F) was in a relationship for 3 years with my ex (31m). I met him while I was in a vulnerable spot in my life. I was 17 and had just left home to go live with my uncle because of some really bad family stuff that I won’t get into here. I was struggling alot with these feelings and then my uncle told me and my cousin that he was gonna let one of his work colleagues stay with us. When he first move in I didn’t pay much attention to him. He was cute but I also knew how old he was. My sister however ended up coming over to stay one night and they both got drunk and had a one night stand. (Keep this d...

Turns out writing something heavy and emotional is hard to make it feel realistic! Who knew. But we're still here bois. We ain't quitters. Thanks to SpacePaladin for NoP, and the folks who proofread this chapter despite the last minute request!

Hello, this is my first time posting on Reddit. I've been searching up answers to my dreams, but none of them really stuck out to me, especially since my dreams are really specific. 1. The Apocalypse So this morning I had a dream that I was Robert from the game Dispatch in a western apocalypse game. The start of the game, I was moving to a woodsy town as May from NITW. After we settle then there was a zombie out break. Main gameplay was that I was guarding my house, farming food and shooting off zombies while helping my crew. At some point, I decide to leave my home and go to a town where there was a zombie breakout. Someone that looked like a mix of Snotlout from HTTYD and Punch Up...

I’m currently looking for a pair of good motorcycle boots to wear while riding my street bike HOWEVER I struggle with laces from a previous injury. I’ve heard that zippers fail quickly so I’m leaning towards buckled options like the alpinestars Belize boots. I tried on a pair of sedici vertice low boots in a store and they fit well but I’ve heard poor reviews from the brand. I would prefer the boots to be walkable as my bike is my primary form of transportation. Does anyone have recommendations of buckled boots they trust?

Are there any stores (in the vein of common retailers like H&M, Express, etc) that you have found you can walk into and they have a generally have good amount of things that work for the general vibe of SD? There are stores that have a few items that might work (like American Eagle makes good fitting jeans on me, but I don’t really like the style of a lot of their other clothes) but I’m curious if you have found something that fits with the overall vibe of the dramatic family. Does that make any sense? 😅

Got these around the end of 2024 as a test to see if I'd actually wear them as a regular part of my wardrobe and I won't. Only worn a couple times. I took em to a second hand clothing store and they offered to buy them for nearly nothing because they'd be hard to sell in the size/style so I held onto em. They're the wedges in a women's 11 which is a men's 9 (biggest size they make in this style). Wondering if anyone would be interested. Open to offers. Will ship to you. Delete if not allowed

In Heartopia, customizing your character’s appearance is part of the fun. From hats and shirts to pants and shoes, there are plenty of clothing options to collect and choose from. When you get started, you’ll receive a basic set of clothes to choose from. But once you’re in the game, you’ll eventually be able to purchase and collect new clothes in Heartopia. If you want to buy clothes using Gold and Wishing Stars, visit Morin’s Clothing Store, located at the center of the Suburbs. This shop opens early in the game, so you don’t have to wait long to change or buy new clothes. (https://selphie1999gaming.com/game-guides/heartopia/how-to-get-clothes-in-heartopia/)

So I started sowing because I thought it'll be cost effective. I thought that the initial cost would be a 2000 dollar sowing machine and then 10 dollars in material here and there. Come to find out - material is expensive. Yes I probably shoulda research these things but at the time I wanted the hobby. Now I'm at a stressful job (which I love) and have less dispensible time. I used to want to make clothes from scratch to fit my body cause I'm real skinny and people in retail get VERY annoyed when I ask for anything in my size and they refuse to help me etc. Then I don't find anything that fits my dimensions and I'm tired getting hand me downs that are ugly. I starte...

Heartopia is a cozy life simulation game where players can craft, build, cook, fish, take care of pets, and more. Before jumping into these activities, the game also lets players customize their character through a dedicated character creation screen. This choice isn’t permanent either, as appearance can still be changed later on. To begin changing appearance in Heartopia, players will need to head to the clothing shop located at the center of the map, right beside the furniture store. This shop serves as the main place for anything related to character appearance. (https://selphie1999gaming.com/game-guides/heartopia/how-to-change-appearance-in-heartopia/)

A while ago [I posted a thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/digimon/comments/1dbohbm/kaseidramon/) asking if anyone still had the geocities site this legendary hoax was from, and we were unable to come up with it; while doing a system refresh after a carbon-based error I happened to recover some bookmarks from an older PC, and in so doing I've actually dug up an [archive.org](http://archive.org) crawl of the page: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100417041309/http://www.angelfire.com:80/falcon/teteo\_obisidas/kaseidramon.htm](https://web.archive.org/web/20100417041309/http://www.angelfire.com:80/falcon/teteo_obisidas/kaseidramon.htm) If you aren't familiar with this hoax, for *years* t...

Recently got out of Amerigas contract and got rid of 55 gallon tank for 100lb tank. Tank is full. Turned pilot igniter on for its full run (about 45 seconds) 3 times and it won’t light. Blew air through line after disconnecting shut off valve in house to make sure there wasn’t any obstruction. Regulator is correct pressure according the the manual (11 inches water column). I don’t smell gas when I let it run. Should I just let it keep running until it lights?

Things are settling down now to routine; the frantic rush of the holidays over; normal activities begin. The frigid weather may curtail our plans, but we have to make the best of it.

Please be cautious when buying Ken merchandise, as **fake** items are being sold on **unofficial** websites. Only use the shop link on Ken's official website ([kencarson.xyz](https://kencarson.xyz)). Other websites claiming to sell official merch are fake and will be taken down.

Content Warning: This story contains themes of suicide, self-harm, and existential distress. Continuation I chose the bridge because it was tall enough to end most things. It was late. The road was empty. The water below didn’t move the way it does in daylight—it waited, dark and patient, like it had time to spare. I climbed the railing without ceremony. I didn’t hesitate. Hesitation implies doubt, and I lost the habit of that a long time ago. I knew it wouldn’t work. That knowledge didn’t stop me. The air rushed past my ears on the way down. For a brief moment, my body remembered fear out of habit, like an old reflex firing without purpose. Then the water took me hard, slam...

There was so much during the Holocaust that defied understanding. For every story of heroism, bravery, and resistance, there are many more of indifference, disbelief, and apathy. What does it take to light the candle of spirit—to act, rather than hide? This is a question I often ask myself. Each story I write reflects that spark, that *ruach*, the breath of the soul that compels one to help. It was a call Joseph Scheinmann, known as the “Jewish James Bond,” surely heard. Joseph was born in Düsseldorf in the 1920s. His father, Max, a World War I veteran and shoe salesman, saw the dangers rising as antisemitism spread through the Nazi party. Knowing what lay ahead, Max moved his family...

Been thinking about the Gaoshun/Taomei pool moment from Apothecary Diaries LN Vol. 10 lately > _She’d had a bit of a fright when she spotted Gaoshun and Taomei walking arm in arm in the courtyard. She’d let her gaze linger a moment too long, surprised and wondering if they got along better than she had realized, when the predator’s eyes flashed. Gaoshun was abruptly shoved away by his wife, who continued to walk along as if nothing had happened. Being shy was one thing, but the younger husband ended up propelled into a pool. A tragedy._ Not only is it a funny Gaomei moment, it's also one of the few glimpses we get into what the characters get up to in their _free time_ in...

Hello everyone. I’m not really sure if this is the right place to explain my story, but I don’t really know if a right place even exists. I’m not exactly sure what we encountered, but I want others to know about it. Let me explain everything from the beginning. My band isn’t big by any stretch of the imagination, at least not in the mainstream. We formed in the winter of 2019 in a small, snowy town in Colorado and built up our reputation for years in the Black Metal underground scene. Our band quickly achieved notoriety for our haunting music, intense live shows, and intimidating aesthetic that was a byproduct of making raw, unpolished music. Last year, we recorded the entirety o...
