Allllrightythen, Red Rocket Truck Stop is now... Gunner Base Romeo? Fort Pointy Thing? Forward Sanctuary Station, most likely. This is Ana's game, she being my early-1800's English lady OC turned defacto Gunner supreme commander because time-traveling aliens exist in the Fallout universe and headcanon is fun. I should write that fic out sometime... even something in short snippets would be better than nothing. I used to write a lot but life and long-haul covid kinda fucked everything.
Meh, no whining, we have umm mildly dismal screenies because it decided to rain when it was picture time. Ah well, atmosphere! Speaking of atmosphere, we're very light on the decor this time because I'm a structure person and I wanted to do structure. And boy did we do structure, cursing the snap physics for a good bit of this, but it came together in the end.
Residents are one farmer (standing around in the courtyard because he has no idea how to path to where the carrots are in the second-floor power room), one artillery officer, one patrolling guard, and one medic. Oh right, and a doggo, seen drooling all over one of the plants in the sixth pic. Careful, puppers, there's little enough of them decoration thingies to go around!

I use Red Rocket Truck Stop as my primary home on one of my files. Hancock is my primary companion and romantic interest on said file. Now I'm here, showing the internet how mentally ill I am with my chem buses.
For some reason, a couple of friends wanted the blueprint for themselves so rather than constantly send out files the hard way, they can just find it here.
(I love y'all but I'm lazy.)
Again, this was personalized for my own file. I ain't changing anything that you can easily do yourself.

Daily update post:
One of the issues that caused the delay in the hostage release yesterday was Hamas' violation of the agreement. Israel demanded that families will be released together, mothers with their kids, Hamas agreed. Yesterday, on just the second day of implementing the accord, Hamas violated this term, when the list only included a 13 years old girl named Hilla Rotem, but not her 54 years old mom, Ra'aya. This is tragic in itself, but it was compounded by the fact that Hilla is the only daughter of a single mom. Think about what it means to her, that she's being released, but not the only immediate family she has in the world. Israel insisted that Hamas must honor the agreement, but Hamas said the only way they'd stick to the agreement of not separating Hilla Rotem from her mom, is if the girl wouldn't be released. But seeing as the kids are considered the most vulnerable, Israel relented and accepted Hilla being released without her mom. Why is Hamas so insistent on separating the two, we can only guess.
So, for those keeping score, Hamas violated the agreement twice (potentially three time), first with firing rockets 15 minutes after the fighting was supposed to stop, then forcing families apart. The third issue is that Hamas promised the Red Cross would be allowed to meet the hostages remaining in captivity, but so far, that hasn't happened. If it stays that way, that's another violation. We're all waiting to see what will happen today, since on both previous days, the hostages release was delayed.
On its part, Hamas claimed Israel was the one breaking the agreement, even though there was independent confirmation that Israel met its obligations, such as the number of aid trucks allowed into Gaza as part of the accord. Today, the aid trucks went in even earlier, and with video documentation, so that Hamas would not be able to use this as an excuse again. Another thing that Hamas claims is that Israel is supposed to release prisoners based on how long they've been in jail, but Israel said it was not a part of the signed agreement. Hamas gave a list of 14 hostages to be released, eventually it released 13 Israelis kidnapped. The agreement said Israel is to release 3 convicted terrorist per each release hostage, so Israel was set to release 42 prisoners. When it turned out that Hamas is only releaseing 13 people, Israel still released all 42 people who were already went through the process of release. No official explanation was offered, but my guess is to prevent any riots from those three who would not be released, and their families outside.
The other day, a ship flying Malta's flag was attacked by an armed suicide drone in the Indian ocean. It turns out that while being operated by another company, one of the owners of the ship is an Israeli businessman. To target the ship for its ownership rather than operators, implies the intel probably came from Iran. The ship was damaged in the attack, a fire broke out, but no one was hurt. There's an initial report of another ship, supposedly under Israeli ownership, that was kidnapped today near Yemen. If true, this is the third ship targeted for supposedly being Israeli.
A video was circulated the other day, which I will not be sharing, but you can see it here. It shows two Palestinians from Jenin, shot to death for supposedly collaborating with Israel, and then their bodies were hung, a crowd gathered and filmed this, then the bodies were taken down, dragged along the streets, abused, and eventually they were dumped in a garbage site. Are they really informants for Israel? I recently watched a documentary about Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' current leader in Gaza, who was imprisoned by Israel up until 2011. But it wasn't for killing Israelis, it was for murdering Palestinians for supposedly collaborating. An Israeli internal security official said that out of the dozens upon dozens of Palestinians that Sinwar killed with his own hands, maybe 2 or 3 were actual informants. Sinwar murdered these people to make a reputation for himself (he was nicknamed "The Butcher of Khan Younes"), and for an array of other, more personal reasons. So... I'd say most odds are these people had nothing to do with Israel, too.
Tumblr media
As antisemitism is on the rise, and too many are adopting a narrative that justified or dismissed Hamas' crimes, the Prime Minister of Ireland did the sameon Twitter. He got community notes correcting his erasure of an Irish-Israeli 9 years old girl's kidnapping.
Tumblr media
Just a reminder that when one terrorist in Dublin stabbed five people, three kids included, there were massive riots, with lots of public infrastructure burned down, and rioters arrested. What would Ireland do if they would have been subjected to a terrorist attack equivalent to the one Israel suffered on Oct 7?
Tumblr media
The really tall guy is an Israeli officer whose name can't be published, only his initial Y.
Tumblr media
He finished a specific military role two months before Hamas' massacre. On the day of Oct 7, he realized that the guy who replaced him, who lives further to the north, would not be able to make it to the fighting zone in time, so Y jumped into his car and drove there, without a weapon or a bulletproof vest. On the way, terrorists ambushed his car, and shot him in the stomach. Realizing he's beginning to pass out, he stopped his car at the side of the road. He woke up to the sight of the second guy in the pic, Mulogate Gazhai. He's a citizen of Eritrea seeking sanctuary in Israel. Mulogate was in a taxi, getting away from the fighting, when he saw the wounded Y's car. He asked the taxi driver to stop. When Y regained consciousness, Mulogate told him, "I'm with you all the way." He stayed by his side, putting pressure on Y's wound to stop him from bleeding out, for almost three hours, hiding together in a ditch on the side of the road, while terrorists keep driving through this area. Today, for having saved Y's life, Mulogate was granted an honorary Israeli citizenship.

As probably we've all been jumpscared by another Animator Vs Animation episode, I just wanna analyse stuff for myself
totally not inspired or something-
Starting from the beginning, I think we all already knew that the others of the Colour Gang are gonna figure out a way to save their friend. To be expected, Green would be the one to find a way to show off (lol). I also just wanna add that the perspective and the background quality is beyond my imagination ever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also the fact there are different types of stick figure styles in each city or probably some kind of separate state/province.
Tumblr media
I'm pretty surprised that they found the truck with the Rocket Corp. Sign on it, probably like most theories, Victim's organization is pretty famous, like a Stick Apple.
Also side note, Red, stop trying to drag your friends into trouble.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This gets even more interesting, the workers tried to replicate Orange's (or should I say Alan's) pencil tool from the previous episode, but obviously it didn't work, and I'll get to them later.
Tumblr media
🎶🎵 "All the pretty girls walk like this"🎵🎶
I also did theories that all the mercenaries would all be in one place, the containment area (I didn't expect them to just call it "The Box"...), including Victim themself. Hazard goofy as ever, never let him change.
I'm just rambling at this point.
Tumblr media
Probably from Animation Vs YouTube, that's probably how they recognized Victim, too bad he ignored them.
Tumblr media
With the attempt to escape, he failed, I mean, the containment was able to handle it anyway, Agent using the select tool was sick, artist/animator squealing moment lol
Tumblr media
I didn't think that The Chosen One could ever get his ass handled by Victim, wow, his combat skills must've gotten stronger ever since he was thought to have died, or because Agent was boosting his potential power and speed. Not gonna lie, I actually screamed internally seeing The Chosen One being overpowered by Victim, those scenes of Victim tormenting The Chosen One is kinda hot /hj

Crushing on You [Engineer Headcanons]
Tumblr media
TEXAN MAN WOOOOO
| Engineer x Fem!reader | 360 words | masterlist | Ask/Request-Box |
╒═══════════════════╕
🔧 Engineer and you have been friends since the day you joined the team, and through that time he has slowly begun to grow feelings for you
🔧 It’s when you bring him food or drinks while he’s working that causes his heart to flutter and skip beats.
“Engi take a break, plus im bored and scout is outside with a rocket launcher and i bet you want to see him eat shit” “Well uh, aight I’ll be out soon”
🔧 As i have mentioned engi is not sane, he cut off his god damn hand ffs. So even if he’s not the same as medic or spy he is very calmly obsessed with you.
🔧 But it's nicer, knowing everything you need and all your likes and dislikes. He’s a busy man but he makes time for you.
🔧 Makes you little creations, and if you have the skills and do the same he keeps them in his workshop proudly overlooking his work.
🔧 Likes to have you in the room while he does work, whether pyro is with you or not just spending time with you makes him happy.
🔧 You know his teddy bear cosmetic? If you make clothes for it he will have to stop himself from breaking down as you offer him the set of small bear clothes.
🔧 He calls you darlin, sugar, pumpkin and other southern esc pet names in passing. If you do the same you will make him explode.
“Oh thank you darlin’“ “No problem sugar” 
🔧 For a man with 11 PHDS he could never find a solution for how his body shut down when you called him that. No mater if you are cringing at it he is red in the face.
🔧 Loves to play his guitar for you, it would be you two (and pyro at times) around the campfire next to his truck as you two drink and he strums the guitar strings. 
🔧 If you use weapons that can remove sappers consider him yours the instant you save his sentry when it's on 3 health.
🔧 Being a southern gentleman he gets you a bundle of flowers, each of meaning and gifts them to you alongside a profession of his love for you.

What Is The Main Ingredient of WD-40?
Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40?
No Cheating.....
WD-40 ~ Who knew!
I had a neighbour who bought a new pickup.
I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray
painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown
reason).
I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news.
He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do ....
probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.
Another neighbour came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off.
It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint
job that was on the truck. I was impressed!
WD-40 who knew?
"Water Displacement #40".
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego
Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water
Displacement' Compound.
They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth
attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to
protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you.
When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing
that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic,
it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stove-top.
It's now shinier than it's ever been.
You'll be amazed.
WD-40 Uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4. Gives floor that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps the flies off of Cows, Horses, and other Farm Critters.
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
9. Untangles jewellery chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terracotta garden pots from oxidising.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors.
18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen
flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to
scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some
windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Remove those nasty bug guts that will eat away the finish
on your car if not removed quickly!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on
riding mowers.
22. Rids kids rocking chair and swings of squeaky noises.
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well
as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons and bicycles for
easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes grease splatters from stove-tops.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.
37. Florida 's favourite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from
grills and bumpers.'
38. The favourite use in the state of New York , it protects the Statue
of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than
the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep
in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing
are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.
41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks
and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed
and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the
lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the
moisture, allowing the engine to start.
My discovery, Ants don't like it..................
P.S.
As for that Basic, Main Ingredient.......
Well.... it's FISH OIL....
Now This Is Definitely Worth SHARING!!

Nagamob/Nagamafiatale ; )
Realizations
This was all those Snake bastards' fault. You should have never agreed to take on this delivery. You could have been relatively safe back at the Den or with the S.F. Brothers, but no! You thought you could handle this job in order to win back your freedom. It wasn’t supposed to be dangerous. Difficult, maybe. Dangerous, no. A simple and straightforward drop-off. Navigate through the northern district of the downtown area without being mugged or stopped and give the package to someone by the name of Dacio.
Easy!
And yet here you were...
Waiting just inside the loading bay of the old Wetherford’s Brick Factory, you had thought Dacio was just taking his time showing up. It was a common problem with people who chose to pick up in these types of areas. So naturally, when a black car with tinted windows showed up, you assumed it was him.
You were only half right.
You should have run the moment more than just Dacio stepped out of the car. You should have run faster when, after dodging being grabbed, several more vehicles cut off your escape. Now you were stuck, forced on your knees while a group of hostile suits surrounded you. Each one sporting the same silver pin on their left pocket. 
A mongoose devouring a snake…
The approaching crunch of loose concrete and brick had your heart clenching.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the little Rocket!” A man with handsome blond hair and green eyes grinned down at you, Dacio not too far behind looking smug. “People used to pay a lot of money to use your service. Quite quick on your feet.  It was a mistake making yourself the Snake’s personal pet. A real shame.” His grin turned sinister as he knelt on your level. “You would have been untouchable if you’d have stayed neutral.” Patting your cheek, he took the package from your now loose grip.
Sharp bitter feelings of betrayal swirled around in your guts. You hadn’t planned to be pulled into all of this mess. You didn’t start doing courier work to transport illegal wares or shady packages and it was not by choice that you ended up among the Snakes. You thought there was a need in the city for your work. With the rise of inflation and rent, you simply needed the extra cash. You never would have thought it would cause you to be kidnapped by the mafia!
That made the blond bastard’s words sting that much more. You were never truly going to be free after this job, were you? Not with a target painted on your back. Were you even meant to make it out of this alive at all?
You forced yourself to look away. Blondie gave an amused huff at your defeated look, standing to investigate the box. It was blessedly quiet while he cut it open.
A click.
“Bomb!!!” 
It was impressive how fast he was able to throw it. 
The box barely landed before exploding, causing your ears to ring and spots to cloud your sight. The man behind you yelped along with everyone else, pulling you up from the floor towards the general location of the car. 
Disoriented and terrified, you fought. The more you struggled, the tighter the bruising grip on your arm became until you found yourself slammed against the side of one of the cars. It was at this point that your vision finally started to clear enough to notice the new bunch swarming in.
Snakes blocked the truck entrances into the factory, shooting several of your captors and scattering more further into the building. Don Red could be seen giving orders, cackling through a crazed grin behind walls of bone and magic.
The blond-haired man crouched behind the car next to your pinned form, carefully taking shots as others joined beside him. Cursing, he grabbed another man's gun out of his hands, pushing him out of the way to continue shooting.
“Idiots! Start the car! They won’t be able to shoot through the glass!”
Everyone shuffled as they followed the command, someone sliding through to the driver’s side while others piled in the back. You only fought harder once the pressure on your back loosened, smashing the back of your head into the nose of the man holding you. A few yards away, you felt the familiar push of heavy hands tackle you to the concrete floor.
Your head hit hard enough to stun you, the flash of a gun and the growled threats barely registering to your hazy mind. Movement high above seemed far more tolerable to watch as you tried to regain yourself.
You wanted to laugh.
Wrapped around the old scaffolding at the very top of the building, was the massive iridescent form of a sleek black and scarlet naga monster. It was satisfying watching them expertly glide down and under the walkway to hang from old supports. Then, with the glint of a self-satisfied smirk, its red eyelights flashed. 
They dropped, sharpened bones forming to fall with them.
You were lucky you had managed to get yourself away from the car. The Massive coils of the naga weighed heavily against the car they landed on, partially crushing down the top. Anyone not already inside was not only assaulted by the angry naga, but also the falling bone attacks. 
The man on top of you didn’t stand a chance. Attempting to flee, he was promptly grabbed by the sharp claws of a large skeletal hand before getting unceremoniously bitten and tossed.
You were probably going into some sort of shock from all the excitement and possible concussion. Remaining on the ground, you didn’t feel the need to run from being scooped up, staring up instead into the scarred socket and fire-like eyelights. 
“RED!!! I’VE SECURED THE TARGETS. TAKE YOUR LITTLE HUMAN SO THE REST OF US CAN TAKE OUT THE TRA–”
His body jerked with a snarled hiss, rearing up and swiveling. Hanging part way out of a now open and cracked window was the blond. Judging by the useless pressing of his finger on the trigger, his ammunition was gone.
Your neck prickled.
“PATHETIC WORM!”
With one smooth motion, you were dropped amongst the safety of agitated coils as the naga lunged. You could hear pained yelps and garbled choking from your place between the rolling scales. As the wrestling subsided, the Don slithered to stand next to his brother, the gunfire blessedly silent.
Thick red smoke exhaled around the butt of a cigar. “Ya ight? Yer bleed’n.”
The coils tightened.
“SHUT UP, I’M FINE. I CAN’T SAY THE SAME FOR MY PATIENCE. NEXT TIME YOU AND SANS MAKE ANOTHER RIDICULOUS PLAN LIKE THIS, KEEP ME OUT OF IT. I DON’T APPRECIATE BEING PUT ON CLEANUP. MORE SO WHEN THERE ARE DISTRACTIONS.”
Red chuckled, carefully extracting you from being squeezed. “Didn’t see ya complain’n when ya got ta rain hell from above like some hero ‘n shit. Yer just cranky ya got yerself stung.”
The hellfire lights blazing in his brother’s sockets had Red backing up, his firm grip holding you to his chest. You were still too in shock to care.
“GET OUT BEFORE I KILL YOU MYSELF! I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF.” With a shake to the choking blond, he turned to direct the Snakes in extracting the survivors within the car.
Another chuckle rumbled through Red’s chest, a downright lecherous grin pointedly sent your way as he spoke. “Don’t mind if we do. Heh. Time ta head home, Dollface.”
There really wasn’t any form of freedom outside of the Den, was there?
Something wasn’t adding up.

Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks and wipe with a clean rag.
Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the moisture, allowing the engine to start.
And FYI - the main Ingredient is - FISH OIL.

Traintober 2023: Day 22 - Top Hat
The Railway is Prospering:
Tumblr media
The railway was prospering. That was perhaps the first thing that the figure noticed. The books had been kind to the railway, in that they had drummed up hundreds, thousands of tourists who flocked to the island to ride behind the famous engines who worked there. The harbour extension at the end of Thomas’ branchline had made loading the stone from the quarry ever smoother, as they didn’t need to drag it all the way to Tidmouth.
And best of all, the engines were all still running.
Sir Topham Hatt wandered up to the ticket office at Wellsworth, spotting Edward collecting passengers for his afternoon train up to the Big Station. Even without a ticket, it was a little too easy to sneak aboard, finding an empty compartment and flopping down on the seats – only, they seemed to pass right through him.
Ah… right.
Instead, the figure of Sir Topham Hatt floated with his head out of the window, taking in the world around him in awe. There was Henry, speeding along with a fast freight train. His rebuild had truly done him wonders – thank goodness Sir William agreed to it, or Henry would… maybe not even be here. And over there was Gordon! He thundered by with the Express, whistling happily at Edward as the big blue engine drew alongside the old engine. They exchanged a fond greeting, and then Gordon was gone again, rocketing along.
James passed by next, grumbling dreadfully with a long train of tankers behind him. So… he’d not done so well with James – but he was still not only really useful, but reliable as well! And in spite of his grumbling, he was still pulling the trucks. As much as Sir Topham Hatt wanted to shout at the red engine to stop whining and get a move on, he recognised just how well the engine was doing.
Then, they passed through the Junction to Thomas’ branchline, and Sir Topham Hatt managed to spy all three of his former tank engines – Thomas, Duck and Percy – all shunting trucks together. It seemed like Duck needed a large order of stone, and the two other tank engines had brought it down for him. Furthermore, Toby stood nearby with Henrietta. All four looked healthy, happy and well-rested, a far cry from those dark days when the big engines refused to work. Then, Thomas, Percy and Edward had been forced to work day and night – nonstop – just to keep the railway open.
But now, they had time to slow down and chat, as well as spend time bantering. Sir Topham wondered just why Percy was talking about ghosts. He’d move closer to listen – but he didn’t want to lose Edward and his train.
Oh, Edward.
The blue engine looked so much happier now. He was running well; nary a clank in his motion. He smiled more too, happier than ever and so much brighter even though the day was cloudy. Sir Topham smiled wryly.
As much as he wanted to say his legacy was the greatness his engines felt now, he couldn’t honestly say it and be right. He’d done some admirable things for his engines, and he’d always been willing to stand up for Edward, or Thomas, or Percy – but at the same time… at the same time, it was clear he’d been far stricter than his son.
Maybe that was a good thing – the railway wouldn’t have survived the Great Depression without a firm hand to guide it. The entire railway had teetered on the edge of bankruptcy for so long, and he’d become so afraid of losing it all. He’d held on tight, almost strangling everyone as he nitpicked his way through every issue. He’d been harsh – harsher than he should have been.
Henry looked so much happier without him around.
But he’d done it for the railway! Being firm, strict and a little controlling was what the railway needed to see in each new year. He’d never scrapped one of his engines (the board, however…), even when they were unable to be really useful. Again, Henry was a testament to how much he hated to see potential wasted.
He’d fought against the LMS for years over the right to keep the railway open… but the LMS fell, and still the NWR remained. It… felt good to know he’d been so successful… even if most of the engines didn’t remember him so favourably.
With one last breath, he slipped away from Edward’s train, taking a moment to wander into his son’s office. He spotted a very familiar top hat resting on the coatrack. “That’s… my hat…” murmured Sir Topham, feeling just a little better.
Everything was going to be just fine.
With that, the almost ethereal figure standing in the Fat Controller’s office faded away.

(i've been waiting forever to do this ahahahahahahahaha). Author's notes: The radcliffemobile is remy's car,it's a red truck car with many seats. Edit: Added the series title,and the chapter title n' number. And the "the radcliffes series" tag.
The radcliffes series
ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝟙: Japan flights and dragon bites
--------------------------------------------------
The entire radcliffe family are getting chased by a golden dragon while they're riding the radcliffemobile on a steep mountain,remy is driving and mars is desperately holding onto the car seat as the family is going through the rocky mountain road. The golden dragon then bites the back of the car off which causes the kids at the back to almost get flinged off but they quickly hold onto the seats in front of them before they do. "How the hell did this happen?!." remy yells to mars while still driving like his life depended on it,because it does. "Well SOMEONE decided to touch a statue that very clearly said 'do not touch' and look where it got us!." mars replies as they make a face of disappointment from remy's stupid decision. Remy then swerves to a different part of the mountain trail and opens his mouth to speak. "I didn't know that it was a MAGIC statue!." remy remarks to mars. "Whatever we'll talk about this later just keep driving or else we're all gonna die!." mars exclaims to remy and then they scream from the golden dragon almost biting them but then sigh in relief after it doesn't. The family keep riding along the mountain in hopes that the dragon would eventually stop,but it never did and it's been four hours since they started driving away from it. "What the fuck does the damn giant lizard want anyway?!." momo asks remy,annoyed that everyone is getting chased by a dragon instead of enjoying their family trip in japan. "I don't know but maybe we woke it up and now it's pissed!- AAAHHHHH!." remy screams along with everyone else as the car falls into a cliff while the family is still inside. The car suffers various forms of damage from the fall such a broken roof shattered windows and missing tires but the family luckily survives despite their car being absolutely wrecked. The golden dragon then proceeds to corner the family after it catches up to them with everyone shaking from fear. "P-Please don't eat us. We just wanted to have a fun family trip." rocket says while crying and sweating profusely. The dragon then sits down in front of the family and opens it's mouth to speak. "Eat you all?. No no no no that's not what i was going to do." the dragon says to the family. "Wait really?. Then why were you chasing us?." jojo asks the dragon. "Well after your father woke me up from my well deserved slumber,i saw that he left an orange cat plushie beside my leg so i decided to run after your family car to give it back. It's been hiding underneath my tongue the whole time. Also where are my manners?,my name is aurelius,nice to meet you all." aurelius the golden dragon says to the family as he grabs the the orange cat plushie from his tongue which he gives to remy who gives it to fox as it's her plushie. "Thank you aurelius. I'm glad that you're not pissed from me waking you up and that it's all just a misunderstanding since you were chasing us to give cunning back to fox." remy says to aurelius. "You're welcome and don't worry i was just annoyed about that. Well i shall take my leave,goodbye radcliffes." aurelius the dragon says to the family as he flies away to his place in the center of tokyo. Rocket fox mars as well as the others wave goodbye to the dragon as they all feel a wave of relief wash over them from knowing that the dragon wasn't trying to kill them. Remy then looks at the car and then he yells at aurelius,pointing at the shattered car which aurelius realizes is still broken and so he offers to let everyone ride on his back in order to get back to yokohama,everyone gets on aurelius' back and then the dragon flies them to yokohama,with everyone bidding the dragon a final farewell upon reaching their destination. 'What a fascinating turn of events.' remy thinks to himself as he enters a gift shop along with his family.

*ISRAEL REALTIME* - "Connecting the World to Israel in Realtime"
🔹No rockets from Gaza yesterday.
▪️Wall Street Journal: Israel informed the US of its intention to establish a buffer zone one kilometer deep in the Gaza Strip.
▪️Shiite militias of Iraq (Iran supported and weapon supplied) state they have shut down Israel’s Haifa and Ashdod ports via suicide drone attack.  “The Islamic resistance in Iraq began the second phase of the naval blockade of the Zionist entity, which includes: a naval blockade in the Mediterranean Sea and the shutdown of its seaports. The siege on it will continue until the blockade of Gaza is lifted and the massacres in the Gaza Strip stop.”  This is called believing your own propaganda and assuming that your enemy failing to report on it is enemy lies.
▪️Flood alert:  Normal Negev and Dead Sea sites for seasonal rain flow are flooding or expected to flood and must be avoided.  Hiking and nature trips should be suspended.  The National Center for Flood Prediction: a flow has been detected down Nahal Ergot, it is expected to reach Highway 90 soon.
▪️The compound and neighborhood where 21 soldiers fell was destroyed yesterday afternoon.
🔶 GAZA-HAMAS Front 
▪️Heavy fighting continues in Khan Yunis, including airstrikes on enemy terror squads.
▪️Enemy action reports: Violent bombardment in various parts of the Gaza Strip now. Israeli aircraft bombed a group of people (fighters - but we report they were children) on the shore of the sea near Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.  Heavy concentration of IDF forces southwest of Gaza City.  IDF tanks firing at buildings next to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, south Gaza.
▪️Gaza Now reports that somehow, nobody knows why (sarcasm), the HUNDREDS of trucks of food aid entering Gaza and sent to north Gaza keep not arriving or arriving mostly empty.  Where is the aid going?
🔶 RED SEA-Houthis Front 
▪️The Pentagon:  Since the 11th of this month, we have destroyed 25 missile launch facilities and more than 20 missiles, drones and radars in Yemen.
▪️Due to the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, the German shipping company Hapag Lloyd announced the launch of an overland corridor from the shores of the Persian Gulf in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea - bypasses the "Houthi problem" and also significantly shortens shipping time - truck shipping the containers across Saudi Arabia and loading them on ships in the northern Red Sea closer to the Suez Canal.
🔶 REGIONAL War 
▪️Iraq:  A wave of American attacks in southwestern Iraq and on the way to Qaim (against Iranian backed Shiite militias that have been attacking US bases).  The area under attack is Jarp al-Nasr, an area that was taken over by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (yes, Iran operating in Iraq).  Iraqi Hezbollah battalions were also attacked.  American planes carried out 5 airstrikes.
🔶 JUDEA-SAMARIA Front 
▪️The village of Urif: our forces blew up the house of the terrorist who carried out the deadly shooting attack near the settlement of Eli on June 20 of last year.

Piece of Stationary:
An old, torn, crumpled up piece of paper. It's covered in dirt, or maybe that's soot. Did someone try to burn this? The handwriting is sloppy, but the words tell a story. Perhaps a diary entry. It's hard to read, but it's heartbreaking, desperate. This is something someone had to tell, to get it out of their system. It looks as if they tried to destroy it when they were done but swiftly changed their mind. Maybe, in the end, they hoped someone would find it, someone would know their story, maybe even find comfort in it that they're not alone if they've been forced to endure the same pain.
