State of the Muffin Report: Year Four (2022-23)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FANFIC. Little Zuko was first posted on this day five years ago, way back when I thought FanFiction.net was the place to be, and had never yet heard of AO3. 
Today I bring before you a look back on my fourth year of fanficing, as well as lofty aspirations for the coming year.
The numbers:
Tumblr media
Fanfic:
This has been the year of ficlets. Finished Cuckoo-Vipers, Hello Dragons Here, and a few other mini-AUS; started up some others. Didn’t get as much done on existing stories as I’d wanted, but I absolutely blame pregnancy for that one. Very happy with how much I did end up writing.
Serious Face Writing:
Li’s Friends has now raised $3,907.28 USD for wildlife charity, not counting gift matches. Well done, internet. 
Currently running a pre-order for book one of Fox’s Tongue and Kirin’s Bone, which will officially be up for sale on March 21st, after a very excellent first year on RoyalRoad that got me an audiobook contract and a nice little Patreon. Thank you, people who are paying me Real Money for writing. <3
Year Five (2023-24) Goals
Fanfic: 
Putz with more ficlets and small AUs, because let’s face it, I’m going to be writing over a newborn while a toddler runs around me.
Finish the current book of Towards the Sun. We’re currently on the final field trip, so that should be very doable. —I say, using the exact same wording as I did last year, for this exact same goal. Second year’s the charm?
Get back to writing Cheating at Pai Sho. I want to get to the glory that is Season One Toph, dangit.  
Serious Face Writing & RL: 
Finish Fox’s Tongue Book Two, The Skin Stealer’s Son, and edit it up for publication and audiobook production.
Evict Secondborn from her occupation of my womb, and begin leveling her in her starter class of Baby.
Special thanks this year goes to the folks who followed me from AO3 over to Royal Road. The modest-but-very-awesome start to my serial fiction career gives me hopes that I can one day do the elusive Write Full Time thing. Which would mean both more original fic AND more fanfic. Because 48k of that word count above was absolutely me using fanfiction to procrastinate on writing my Serious Story. As one does.
Cheers,
MuffinLance

Charms of Fate: Chapter 6
Pairing: Professor!Remus Lupin x Fem!Professor!Reader
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Plot: Amidst the echoes of a bygone era, you return to Hogwarts years after parting ways. What begins as a journey fueled by nostalgia transforms into an unexpected reunion with Remus Lupin, now a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. As the past intertwines with the present, the two former classmates navigate the complexities of grief, the resurgence of friendship, and the unwritten chapters of their shared history in this tale of rediscovery and the magic that binds them together.
Warnings: none (if there are, please let me know)
_____________________________________________________
The staff table in the Great Hall was lively with subdued chatter as you hunched over a newspaper, your focus on the article about Sirius Black's reported sighting. The news sent a shiver down your spine, a mix of nervousness and curiosity. Why would Sirius, a notorious figure, be heading toward Hogwarts of all places?
Your gaze shifted to Harry, who sat among the students, absorbed in his own thoughts. The realization struck you like a lightning bolt. That's right. Sirius was Harry's godfather, and it suddenly made sense. He must be coming here for Harry. Concern etched lines on your forehead as fear for Harry's safety gripped you.
Munching on a muffin absentmindedly, you couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story, fragments missing from the puzzle. Remus' absence didn't go unnoticed, and you missed him terribly, though you understood. Last night was the full moon, hence Snape's unbearably awful timing of interrupting what would have had you kicking your feet the rest of the night in your bed.
A scowl formed on your face as the realization dawned upon you that Snape had managed to disrupt what could have been a pleasant evening. Glancing in his direction, you found him smirking as if he knew what you were thinking about, seemingly pleased with the disturbance he had caused. The satisfaction evident on Snape's face only fueled your annoyance, leaving you to grumble inwardly at the unfortunate turn of events.
As the time drew near to start your class, you picked up the Daily Prophet, intending to scan the headlines before heading to your classroom. The day unfolded predictably until the end of your last class. Amidst the shuffling of students leaving the room, Hermione Granger approached with an urgency in her expression.
Hermione said, "Professor, Snape gave us an essay on werewolves."
Your heart skipped a beat, frozen by Hermione's revelation. However, she wasn't finished.
Hermione continued, "I know about Professor Lupin. I know he's a werewolf. Harry thinks Snape's trying to poison him. He saw Snape taking potions into the DADA classroom."
Feeling the weight of the information, you hastily closed the door and cast a muffling charm. Hermione, seeking confirmation, sat down as you explained that Remus hadn't shared anything about his condition, but you harbored suspicions.
You stated, "I believe he is, but Remus hasn't told me anything. And please, you mustn’t say anything. Not even to Harry and Ron.”
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief but remained cautious, promising to keep it between the two of you. The conversation continued, with Hermione expressing concern about Snape's true motives.
Hermione asked, "Do you think Snape is really trying to poison Professor Lupin?"
You assured her, "No, it's most likely Wolfsbane. Snape might be many things, but I doubt he'd go that far."
After Hermione left, a surge of rage propelled you to Snape's office. Throwing open the door, you found him muttering something sarcastic.
In Snape's dimly lit office, you confronted him, the air thick with tension.
You exclaimed, "How dare you?"
Snape, looking up with a sneer, retorted sarcastically, "Clearly, the concept of knocking before entering is beyond your comprehension."
You fired back, "I know what you're doing, Snape. Trying to expose Remus, get him fired. What's your endgame?"
Snape leaned against his desk, an inscrutable expression on his face.
Snape replied, "Remus is a danger to this school. A werewolf teaching children—absurd. I'm merely looking out for the safety of the students."
You scoffed, "Safety? More like you're relishing the chance to ruin his life. Why can't you leave him alone?"
Snape retorted, "Leave him alone? A werewolf hides behind the facade of a teacher. I won't stand by and let him endanger innocent lives."
Your anger flared, "You don't care about the students. You just want to satisfy your vendetta against Remus."
Snape, unfazed, remarked, "Vendetta or not, it's the truth. Werewolves are a threat, and Dumbledore should see that."
You shook your head, "This is about your personal bias, Snape. You can't see past your hatred."
Snape's eyes narrowed, "Hatred or not, I won't allow a monster to roam freely in this school."
The heated exchange reached a peak, and it was only Professor McGonagall's entrance that halted the brewing confrontation.
Minerva interjected, looking shaken, "Something terrible has happened. Follow me, both of you."
As you, Snape, and McGonagall left the office, the lingering animosity between you and Snape hinted at the continued tensions yet to be resolved.
You stand in the midst of the chaos. Students were gathered around the slashed portrait of the Fat Lady. You found yourself standing between Minerva and Snape, trying to make sense of the commotion. Dumbledore arrived, his voice cutting through the panic.
"Silence, everyone! Quiet down!" he commanded, his eyes scanning the crowd. "What happened here?"
Amid the murmurs, the Fat Lady, now in a different painting, spoke up with a tremor in her voice. "It was him, Professor Dumbledore! Sirius Black! He attacked me!"
Gasps echoed through the room. Dumbledore's expression darkened as he surveyed the damage. "Are you certain, my dear? Can you tell us anything about his whereabouts now?"
The Fat Lady hesitated before responding, "He's gone, Professor. Fled into the night. I didn't see which direction."
Dumbledore's gaze swept across the room. "Minerva, Severus, (Y/N) gather the students to the Great Hall. I will alert the rest of the staff and the Ministry. We must ensure the safety of everyone at Hogwarts."
As the professors ushered the students away, the realization hit – Sirius Black, the supposed traitor and danger to Hogwarts, was now on the loose within the castle's grounds. Merlin, I wish Remus was here right now.

Outer Child, chapter 12
( Off to the gym for some Enrichment. )
Outer Child, chapter 12
Warnings: none
Words: 1300~
-----
Combs dropped a bundle of fabric on the end of Victoria's bed. "What's that?" she asked.
"A selection of work-out clothes. I didn't know what you'd be most comfortable with, so take your pick." At Victoria's raised eyebrow, Combs continued, "I'm your researcher and responsible for your well-being. This is to get you a bit active and give you a change of scenery. And it goes without saying that we're bringing 049 and 035 as well."
"I have enhanced strength, Combs. I don't need to exercise."
"You're over forty. Moving sometimes is good for you."
"I'm only letting you get away with saying that because you're older than me." Combs was forty-six to Victoria's forty-three.
"I do stretches every morning," said Combs mildly. "But I've asked Joanna Legrasse to show you what to do." Legrasse was one of the Doctor's regular guards - non-Pestilent. She wouldn't set him off.
Amica was already picking through the clothing. "None of it is black. It should be black."
"SCPs wear gray and white," said Victoria. Not entirely true, but the Standard Humanoid Jumpsuit was gray. Amica had been given several, with extra sleeves, because it only had the one Alagaddan outfit when it was transformed. Amica had thrown an epic tantrum when it was told it had to wear them. It had spent a day naked and sulking before deciding that, fine, it would wear the hated jumpsuits if it had to. It had no modesty but it preferred to wear clothes.
Combs went to the door. "Choose something and be ready in ten minutes."
Victoria picked out a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a zip-up hoodie. Socks and shoes were also provided. Shorts and a t-shirt would probably be more sensible, but deadly skin needed to be covered up.
Combs came back this time with Legrasse. Legrasse had work-out clothes as well, Combs was still in business casual and a lab coat. Victoria took Amica and the Doctor's hands and they went to the Light Containment Gym.
It wasn't as big as the staff gym. The staff gym was for socialising as well as exercising. SCPs were generally not encouraged to socialise, so this room, while well-equipped, was really for one or two at a time.
Combs held up his clipboard. "West, I'm going to have Legrasse teach you some basic stretches that you should be able to do in your containment. You are permitted access to the gym if you decide you'd like to use the machines, though you'll need to be added to the schedule. Many other SCPs use it."
"And you will be babysitting?" asked Victoria. Amica and the Doctor had let go of her hands to inspect the nearest equipment.
"I'm going to run tests on 035 and 049 - no, nothing strenuous," said Combs. "Checking if 049 still has anomalous strength and speed. Mostly just getting them to run around and play and I write a report and call it an experiment." Then, feeling two more pairs of eyes watching him suspiciously, "You'll get muffins and juice afterwards."
"I want muffins and juice now," ordered Amica.
Combs shook off the compulsion. "No, because I will order them from the cafeteria after we're done."
Victoria gave Amica a light tap on the forehead. "Amica, stop trying to hypnotise Combs. Sometimes you need to wait."
"I don't want to."
"You don't even need to eat," Victoria pointed out. "I'm going to be doing exercises with Legrasse over there. You can either hang out and watch me or you can play with Combs."
"Dr Combs is our friend," said the Doctor quietly. "I will play with Dr Combs."
Amica pouted for a moment - a full-body pout since its face only showed tragedy - but then made up its mind and apparently decided that if the adults weren't going to be any fun, it was going to stick with its fellow child. "I will play with the Doctor," Amica finally stated.
"Good enough," said Victoria.
Victoria and Legrasse went to the other side of the exercise room. "First I gotta put on some music," said Legrasse. "It's not a work-out without music."
There was a pair of speakers on the table. Legrasse plugged her phone into it, fiddled with it, then it started playing pop music Victoria didn't recognise. Not that Victoria recognised much music after the early 2000's. Victoria glanced over at the others. Amica was already dancing along while Combs tried to organise it and the Doctor. Well, Combs would yell if he was in trouble.
For the next twenty minutes, Legrasse ran Victoria through various stretches that were probably nothing to a twenty-five year old soldier, but reminded Victoria that she was over forty and spent the last twenty years mostly sitting down. Legrasse had barely broken a sweat. Victoria felt damp. She'd given up and removed her hoodie, with an additional warning to Legrasse that skin-contact was deadly so stay out of bumping range. Occasionally Amica and the Doctor ran past as Combs either tested their speed, stamina, or was just trying to wear them out.
When the two women took a break, Legrasse gestured for Victoria to take a water bottle. "Why are you so bad at this? I thought the Plague Doctor had made you superhuman."
"He primarily enhanced my strength by adjusting and reinforcing muscle attachments," said Victoria. "My joints and stamina are still middle-aged scientist."
They watched Amica and the Doctor. Combs seemed to have them handled fairly well. There hadn't been any screams, at least. Right now they were doing a hand-eye coordination test, or just tossing a ball between the three of them. Legrasse chuckled. "Doc's weirdly cute."
"049 or Combs?"
"049," Legrasse clarified. "Combs is old enough to be my dad."
"049 is old enough to be your many-times great-grandfather."
"Yeah, and you can feel that when it's, you know, its spooky adult self. But now it's a cute baby." The Doctor fumbled the ball, but immediately chased after it. "You think it was born with the mask?"
"No." They had been transformed, not age-regressed.
"Probably best for its mom, unless she laid an egg."
"He is not a bird."
Legrasse shrugged. "Okay, but the other one is the Possessive Mask, right? Why was it put on a six-armed mannequin? Why did we even have one? How does a mask even turn into a baby?"
Victoria didn't mind telling Legrasse a little about the Doctor - she knew a bit already from being assigned to him so often - but Amica was above her classification level so Victoria wasn't going to explain the whole 'it's an other-dimensional alien, that's an Alagaddan body' thing. "No idea."
"It's weirdly cute, too. Like a little bug." Legrasse took a swig of water, then her grin faded. "So … you and the Plague Doctor had a thing." When Victoria's only reply was a tightening of her lips, Legrasse sighed. "Come on, I deliver you down to its containment at least once a week and I know it's, like, conjugal visits because I gotta search your bag and sometimes you have sex toys."
"We are not talking about this," Victoria ordered.
Legrasse disobeyed. "I don't mean it like that. I don't wanna think about old people fuckin'. I just mean … it's got to be weird for you right now. One day you have your scary plague boyfriend then, wham, it's a little kid."
"Stranger things happen."
"Okay, fine, you don't wanna talk about it," Legrasse conceded. "Combs thought you might open up more to a woman in a non-interview environment."
Victoria shot a glare at Combs' back. "Is that why we are here?"
"Well, like, enrichment and exercise, too. Wanna see how much you can lift?"

The Miys, Ch. 218
Eeep, my buffer of chapters is dwindling, and it’s a bit scary. Kind of like 2022 has been, if we are being honest. Major life goals to get that built back up, at least until the end of the story.
Major spoilers are laced throughout this entire chapter... but not for this story. Cue eerie mystery musiiiiic!
Props go out to @baelpenrose and @werewolf2578 on this chapter.  I triple pinky promise to catch up on reader shoutouts next Tuesday.  I just need to wade through the army of bots that recently decided to follow me (I even accidentally reported a new follower as spam in the bot-weeding, and genuinely cannot apologize to @thornsilver enough for any trouble that has caused them).
In my office two days later, no amount of blueberry corn muffins could completely lift the solemn mood.  I had finally managed to sum up the communication between Charly and the S’crirs, and the summary had been released to the entire population of the Ark midway through Gamma shift. Already, I had received just under three thousand requests to release the full audio, and more were piling in as Alpha shift got under way.
“It isn’t anything new,” Tyche scolded gently to the somber room. “She literally just asked Ix’al and Brol to do exactly what she said in the Council meeting: destroy at least a big chunk of the Eko’mari fleet.”
“By killing them,” Parvati reminded. Her tone wasn’t quite judgemental, but there was a definite undercurrent of nausea.
Tapping the top of my muffin, appetite wholly gone, I nodded. “An explosion big enough to scare off the GeeCee is inevitably going to have some casualties.”
“Innocent casualties, that’s what we’re okay with?” she argued. “I get that they are assholes, but their plan was to play the long game. We’re wily, persistent creatures - we can take the time to out play them.”
Tyche glowered from beneath her brows, biting her lips in the distinct way that told me she was keeping quiet for someone else’s benefit.
Hannah spoke, her voice barely audible. “They were planning to actively suppress our self-development.  Did we really have time to find another way? How long would we give them: years? A generation or three? We have evidence in our own history that two generations is enough to cause a century or more of cultural decline. Especially when you have the threat of a definitely-not-hypothetical outside force working against us.”
“They wouldn’t even need to be as overt as they’re being now,” Tyche pointed out. “Change a few facts here or there, just enough to be misleading instead of outright wrong. Misinformation grows faster than any weed, and it’s even harder to get rid of.”
I opened my mouth to speak, but Alistair beat me to it. “This is all academic,” he stated loudly.
“There’s nothing academic about it!” Parvati cried. “We’re talking about killing a fleet of living beings who, albeit obnoxious, pose no violent threat to us!  We know they are there and what they plan to do, we can take measures to combat it.”
“You say that on the supposition that these beings are innocent,” he responded. A part of my mind took note of how clear but unemotional his statement was. He wasn’t guessing, he knew. “They are not.”
“They aren’t violent - “
“They are military, Miss Fletcher.  Enlisted, voluntarily.  Councilor Kalloe, along with thousands upon thousands of others on this vessel can confirm that enlisting in a military organization immediately removes your status as ‘innocent’ when it comes to acts of war. Especially among Terrans.”
A loud click accompanied Parvati’s jaw snapping immediately closed. She blinked a couple times before turning towards me. “They’re military? You didn’t include that in the communication.”
“It was a judgment call,” I sighed, forcing myself to sit up straight. “The fact that the Eko’mari fleet is military is public and known information, always has been. We even included it in the first twenty or so communications to the Ark, remember?”
She glanced at Hannah, who nodded.
I continued. “Given every other reason that everyone has to be afraid, angry, and stressed right now, I didn’t think it was a great idea to give anyone the idea that the Eko’mari could possibly attack us at any second.  The FAQ that we’re going to put together this week and triple check to confirm we didn’t miss anything will start out with a reminder, including necessary file directories to all those early communications.”
She nodded, clearly still objecting but accepting that her arguments had been addressed.
That meant it was Alistair’s turn. “The funny thing is,” I drew out questioningly, “You just repeated nearly verbatim what Ix’al said, Alistair.  I can believe that you remembered that the Eko’mari are military.  I can even believe that you did enough research on them to know that the Eko’mari do not accept conscript soldiers and are therefore volunteer only.” Gently, I tapped the top of my yet-uneaten muffin. “But nothing you say is going to convince me that your thought patterns worked the same way as a twenty-five foot fanged squid who also happens to be a pirate queen.”
Irritatingly, he shrugged in response. “Miss Harper contacted Farro for assurance that she had made the right call. She knew you would support her, no matter what, but also that he would suggest any ideas she had missed.  She sent him her recording of the conversation, which he later allowed me to listen to with her permission. Provided I do not speak on it until the official briefing was sent to the Ark, of course.”
UGH, I groaned internally. I couldn’t even be mad at him, since I had done the exact same thing with Conor and Maverick. “Did he at least agree with her recommendation?”
Parvati snorted. “Of course he did. I am certain that Xiomara does as well.”
I held up a finger and raised an eyebrow. “You would be surprised. Arthur’s pragmatic enough to agree with it, but Charly asked him because he thinks strategically. What’s most pragmatic isn’t always the best strategy.”
Alistair nodded towards me. “Thank you, Sophia. As a matter of fact, he did not entirely agree with Miss Harper.”
Parvati and stared at each other while Hannah sputtered. “He what? I would think he would be all for it.”
“Oh, he quite agrees with the no-survivors-no-prisoners approach,” he waved off. “The concern was rather more in regard to the timing of the act.”
Tensions were already high, and Alistair’s tendency to use as many words as possible when he was stressed wasn’t helping matters. I was clenching my teeth to keep from snapping at him, but Parvati clearly had fewer compunctions. “Oh, just spit it out, Alistair! We’re all friends here, even if we don’t agree about this!”
“He advised we should be planetside before the fleet is destroyed,” he glared back at her. “Otherwise it could be interpreted as the same pirate activity that they are citing to justify their request.”
“I mean….” Tyche drew out. “That wouldn’t be wrong.”
“Unfortunately,” I groaned. “Which means Arthur is right, and therefore will be impossible to live with for the next two weeks.”
She rocked her head side to side. “You could take one for the team and break his jaw again?”
Bracelets clattered as Parvati threw her hands in the air. “More violence! People being a nuisance is not justification for violence!”
“One, when I broke his jaw it was an accident. Two, I am sure that Hannah was joking - “
“Mostly,” my sister grumbled.
“THIRDLY!” I raised my voice in vain hope that Parvati hadn’t heard the comment from directly across the table. “Space. Nazis.”
She stood, resting her fingertips gently on the table. “Sophia, I am begging you - I have seen the results of drastic actions like these. I don’t just mean the End, either. I was there for the NorthAm blackout. I lost friends and family when the global economy went offline.  And they were caused by the same thing: people who thought they had the right taking drastic action instead of thinking rationally.”
Hannah gasped and covered her mouth. Tyche stood and started pacing as far away as she could get without leaving the room.  It was all I could do repeatedly try closing my jaw while I wrapped my mind around what I was hearing. “Parvati, are you comparing us to Nils Andover? The Meltdown Messiah, King of Nothing?”
A hand flew up to rub her temple. “No. And yes. It’s complicated.”
I leaned back in my hair, resisting the urge to cross my arms defensively. “Complicated is what I do. What we - “ I waved at everyone in my office “do.”
She closed her eyes and whispered. Whatever it was elicited another gasp from Hannah, but no one else could tell what it was. Once she glanced around and realized this, she dropped her hand, grit her teeth, and repeated it.
“I was a Queen’s Pawn when I was thirteen.”
What followed was a three second flurry of action. Hannah flung herself back from the table, while Alistair planted himself between me and Parvati. All I could see over his back were the palms of her hands, both of which were held over her head and open. I was confused until I looked over to Tyche.
She held knives in both hands, the left ready to throw.
“Stop it, everyone,” I stated firmly, doing everything in my power not to yell and set my sister off by accident. “Tyche, put the knives up.  This room isn’t large enough to need them, and if Parvati hasn’t poisoned me yet, I doubt she’s going to kill me now that we know exactly who the suspect is.” 
No one so much as twitched.
“All of you. Sit. The fuck. Down. Before something horrible happens.” Without even waiting for a response, I did exactly what I asked them to do. “Queen’s Pawns turned on Andover, which I’m sure you were about to explain, Vati?”
“Right.” No fear could be heard in her voice, only a very deep exhaustion and shame. “And no one on this ship is anything like Nils Andover the person, thankfully. But killing everyone on those ships to save our own arses is entirely too close to the ideals he created. We’re talking about destroying them with no chance of defending themselves!”
“I would like to remind you that this, in fact, an unarmed medical vessel,” Alistair pointed out. “And I am not sure how you believe the S’crirs is going to destroy those vessels, but I doubt it involves magically creating antimatter in their drives.”
“Right, it’s got to get there somehow, which means the crew of the S’crirs is taking a huge risk on our behalf,” I added. “Which they are doing because they blame themselves for the fact that the Eko’mari have actual grounds to hang around after we land.”
“That’s idiotic.” Hannah shook her head as she carefully took her seat at the table.
“I agree, but I’m also not suicidal enough to argue with someone who could eat me.”
Tyche kept her knives at hand, but at least shifted to a position that wasn’t as immediately threatening. “The way I see it, we are acting in self defense.” When every eye in the roomed turned toward her, she shrugged. “What they plan to do is effectively an act of war. They want to prevent us from developing our own knowledge and technology, potentially using an infohazard campaign. Misinformation causes scarcity, which causes wars.”
“Alistair?” I asked for confirmation.
“She is quite correct, unfortunately. Scarcity does not bring out the best in humanity, despite what some would try to have us believe.”
He had shifted just enough that I could see Parvati’s face, and the emotional journey it was going through at that moment told me she was rapidly changing her stance. Patiently, I waited her out. “It’s the rich and the Baconists all over again, isn’t it?”
“Possibly,” Alistair confirmed. “Only instead of glittering starships, the ‘haves’ have food, or water.”
I still wanted to reassure her, even though there was only so much I could say. “You don’t have to like it. Hell, I hate the idea.  I just go to sleep at night reminding myself that there are no good options, only even worse ones.  I’m sure Xiomara knows better than I ever will how to handle that.”
She lifted a shaking hand to her face, shaking her head. “I - I need to take the day. Maybe two. This is… It’s all too much. I feel like it’s happening all over again - “
“Vati,” Hannah murmured, reaching a hand across the table.
“No!” she cried, jerking away. “For the second time in my life, I am listening to my friends talk about sabotaging the FTL drives of over a dozen ships and killing everyone on board. You don’t - none of you know what that’s like! And I’m begging, again, that my friends don’t do this. That you find another way. And now I am realizing that there isn’t - I can’t.”
Before we could say anything, she turned and fled from the room, hand over her mouth to prevent any other sound from coming out.

The Ponyville Weekly
Published on Jan 4th 20XX
A SURPRISE PARTY FOR DERPY HOOVES!
Tumblr media
It’s a day like no other, and Ponyville’s very own deliverypony Derpy Hooves has completed another shift of hard work. Zipping from house to house, it is thanks to her that the ponies of Ponyville are able to reach out to loved ones beyond our reach.
However, such constant flying has its disadvantages. On January 2nd, Derpy Hooves was reportedly seen going to the doctor in concern for her aching wings. With our anonymous source, it was then announced Derpy would be taking a temporary leave from the Postal Service in order to recover.
The news of her condition left Derpy disappointed. “ I couldn’t believe I had to go,” Derpy states in an exclusive Ponyville Weekly interview, “ It felt like I was letting everypony down.”
On such a dark and lonely day, Equestria’s Element of Laughter took it upon herself to cheer Derpy Hooves up– Pinkie Pie style.
Pinkie Pie recruited the entirety of Ponyville to organize a surprise party in front of Derpy’s cottage; ponies expressed their gratitude for the hardworking deliverypony in dance, song and much more. It was a scene that could bring tears even to the foulest of dragons.
“ I smiled so hard I cried,” Derpy recounts with a heartwarming giggle, “ Pinkie even brought a mountains worth of muffins- for me!” It is reported that Derpy Hooves finished the gifted sweets within that very hour.
Such a beautiful experience is something that only the ponies of Ponyville can pull off. Until next Wednesday, where we give you the biggest news for our little town.

Summary: "A turning point has just been reached. Maybe I'm not who I used to be."
A/N: Oh Alix, bby, I'm so sorry.

Tumblr media
Contemporary: September 17th, 1944. Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Alix had been working with the Dutch Resistance for less than a day on the outskirts of Eindhoven and already, she was about ready to strangle someone. 
"I'm telling you, Kristof, your information is wrong."
"And I’m telling you to back off, Adelina. Let the SOE handle this.”
Alix shoved her hands deep into the pockets of her trousers, clenching her fists in a vain attempt to stave off the sudden, powerful urge to wring the older man’s neck. 
Kristof was supposedly a good agent, one of the best…or so she’d been told. She wasn’t sure if she believed it. He came with the highest security clearance the SOE could offer but there was just something about him that Alix didn’t trust, especially not with an operation so sensitive. 
The information he was bringing back felt too good to be true and some of it simply didn’t make any logical sense. Why would the Wehrmacht leave only kids and old men to guard the doorway to Germany? Surely they couldn’t be that stupid. 
If the Nazis were as blissfully unaware of the Allied advance as the British agent claimed, if they were truly that tactically weak and woefully underprepared, the war should have been over already…right?
Alix thought back to the “Spot The Difference” puzzles in the game books that Gio would always bring home with him from school.
There were always two nearly-identical illustrations with the most minute of differences drawn in somewhere, just waiting for her to find them.
“Take your time,” Gio would coach her over her shoulder as they sat on the plush shag carpet of the parlor. “Go line by line if you have to.”
She would painstakingly comb through each of the drawings, tracing each detail with her finger, until she came across the item that didn’t belong. Sometimes it would take minutes, sometimes an hour, but she just couldn’t let it rest until she’d figured it out.
That’s what this feels like, Alix thought as she looked over Kristof’s report, noting each hidden hole and blatant inconsistency. Like another puzzle. 
Except this time, people’s lives hung in the balance.
“The SOE has been working with us for some time now,” Van Kooijk stated casually while he skimmed over some maps, as though that was all the proof Alix should require. “These are reliable reports, I would swear to it.” 
“Don’t bother.” 
Alix’s response was clipped but she didn't trust herself to say more without getting heated. 
The American OSS and the British SOE were receiving conflicting reports as to the size and strength of the German Army, which only intensified Alix’s belief that the rumors about a mole in the SOE were true. 
This had to be some sort of attempt at a disinformation campaign, planting false reports within Resistance movements who would then pass them on to the Allies. 
There was no other logical explanation for this many holes in an intelligence report.
Exchanging glances with Nixon, she could tell he was thinking the same thing but there was nothing either of them could do. The OSS was not in control of the espionage operations running concurrently with Market Garden; the SOE was. Like it or not, they were under British command this time and they would have to obey. 
"Everyone is clear on their orders, yes?" 
Van Kooijk was speaking to her in particular, watching her with his unsettlingly seaglass-green eyes as though he suspected she might do something to jeopardize the mission. 
Alix was ready to tell him exactly where he could shove his "suspicions" when she felt a cautioning, brotherly hand on her shoulder. 
"Watch it, Lina." Lieutenant Nixon had switched to Italian this time, keeping his voice low enough that only she could hear.
"We have about 3 hours tops before the rest of the 101st arrives. We don't have time for more enemies right now." 
Alix huffed but she knew her case officer was right. 
Boy, did it really irritate her when he was right.
"Fine," she muttered, crossing her arms over her chest. "Go coordinate the Airborne arrival. I just wanna get this over with." 
∆∆━━━━∆∆━━━∆∆━━━∆∆
The first targets on Alix’s list were Captain Bernhard Neumann and SS Lieutenant Klemens Kruger.
 As two of the highest-ranking officers in what the SOE assured them was an already-crumbling military force, eliminating both Neumann and Kruger would cut the Wehrmacht off at its knees and hopefully cause significant chaos among German troops. 
They had both been on Resistance radar for some time but were far too visible for untrained assassins to kill without being noticed. Which was where Alix and her handler came in. 
"Niccolò, this is Lina." She was whispering into the transceiver, her Italian coming out slightly garbled over the line. "Do you read me? Over." 
"Roger, Lina. Proceed as ordered. Out." 
As she nonchalantly made her way toward Neumann's secret residence, Alix's training took over.
"Locard's Exchange Principle," she remembered Nixon barking at her during the early phases of her SERE instruction. "What is it?" 
The first rule of tracking.
"Every contact leaves a trace, sir!"  she had answered just as loudly, the pair repeating the phrases back and forth until her voice went hoarse. 
And no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, it was Alix's job to find that trace. 
When she arrived at the address, noting the rolling fields behind the building, she crouched to examine the dark, slightly moist soil leading to the back door, which was telling her a story she didn't want to hear. 
German officers like Neumann and Kruger wore fancy boots with very recognizable tread patterns. They should have been the only two in the area among a sea of regular grunt-style Wehrmacht boots, but they weren't; on the contrary, the ground was littered with the tracks of several different officers leading in various directions. 
Like Alix had suspected, there were at least a dozen more officers than they'd been told in the reports, which meant there were more troops too. Whether on purpose or on accident, the SOE had miscalculated.
This was bad.
Alix couldn't risk radioing back her findings, not when she was this close to making contact. The Germans could track a radio signal in a matter of minutes now and there was no excuse for having a clandestine radio on her person, none at all. All she could do was wait behind the shop next door and hope that the news would get to the right people in time.
Alix leaned her head back against the cool brick wall as the time passed. She was steps away from the secret home base of German officers and the urge to burst in was killing her. But she had to wait.
When Neumann finally came outside, he wasn't alone but he wasn't with SS Lieutenant Klemens either.
Beside him was Ludwig Schreiber, a prominent member of the Hitler Youth and well-known errand boy for the Wehrmacht. The pair appeared to be in a hurry, probably to reconvene with reinforcements.  
And Alix couldn't let that happen. 
Slipping into the street a few feet behind them, she casually adjusted her gray cashmere sweater as she walked, keeping her eyes peeled for…
Oh there he was, thank God. 
Far ahead of them, a tall, rail-thin teenager with sandy blond hair was exiting a shop, nonchalantly adjusting his beaten bomber jacket for the autumn wind and lighting up a cigarette before he went on his way. 
He's been trained well, Alix thought as she watched him eye storefronts that he passed, checking their reflections to ensure the target was still behind him.
Alix knew the plan: Front & Follow surveillance for as many blocks as it took to isolate the targets. Diederik would be leading them. When the signal was given, Alix would eliminate the target and any present company, meaning Schreiber. 
No witnesses. 
No mercy. 
It had to be done. 
Out of the corner of her eye as she walked, Alix could see the quick glint of a gun barrel in the sunlight as it disappeared over a nearby rooftop. 
She knew better than to look; it would only draw attention to his position. 
Andries, their sniper, was lying prone above, waiting for someone's signal but she wasn't sure whose or, frankly, why. 
It wasn't as though she needed the back-up. It would be messy but she could still take care of this.
After about fifteen to twenty minutes, the last block was ending and she saw Diederik pause to discard his cigarette before ducking inside another shop.
It was time. 
Neumann and Schreiber turned the corner behind the last building and Alix quickened her pace, slipping behind them soundlessly as she too disappeared from view.
∆∆━━━━∆∆━━━∆∆━━━∆∆
Captain Neumann had been first. As he was the most capable target, Alix needed to ensure he didn't have time to react. Two bullets in the back of the head; he was dead before he hit the ground. 
Schreiber was a different story.
He had tried to make a run for it: a fool's error. 
As though he would get far. 
As though they weren't prepared. 
The second he tried to round the corner, he slammed smack-dab into the chest of John Van Kooijk, who had materialized out of the shadows like a spectre. 
In his faded jacket and sweater, he resembled more a schoolteacher than a viable threat, but the bright orange band around his sleeve had Schreiber recoiling like he'd accidentally singed his hand on a hot stove.
Van Kooijk said something in German, his tone soft yet mocking and Alix understood the gist of it: 
"Going somewhere, Ludwig?" 
The teenager began stammering in rapid-fire German as he looked fearfully from Alix to Van Kooijk and back to Alix, wild-eyed as he noticed the loaded gun in her hand.
"What is he saying?" Alix asked out of the corner of her mouth in French and Van Kooijk shrugged casually.
"Begging for his life, offering us money, nothing out of the ordinary." 
Alix wished she hadn't asked. The look of pure terror in the boy's eyes was stomach-churning enough as it is.
But he'd seen her face.
He could compromise them. 
He had to die.
Besides, if she didn't do it, Andries the sniper would, and she trusted her own hand more.
She would be gentle, Alix decided silently as she cocked her revolver. As gentle as Death could be. He was still a child.
Schreiber was trying to shrink away but his back hit the unforgiving brick wall behind him; there was nowhere to run. 
Alix wished to God she would go blind or her hands would shake or her heart would stop, something for her body to be in congruence with the stream of doubts clouding her mind. 
At the end of the day, Schreiber was still just a brainwashed kid who’d been manipulated and he would pay for it with his life. 
How was that fair?
How was that justice?
But despite her fervent wishes, her training betrayed her: her sight was clear, hand still, heartbeat steady.
This was her job.
This was her purpose. 
She’d read his file. Schreiber was a Senior Section Leader of the Hitler Youth, after all, and a runner for the Wehrmacht. Whatever information the eighteen year old was carrying could be vital and they would never get it from him alive.
But the frantic look in Schreiber's terrified eyes brought back an unwanted memory and Alix felt her chest tighten like a vise. 
╔══ •🖤🖤•🖤🖤•🖤🖤• ══╗
7 Years Earlier: November 24th, 1937. Susquehanna Hunt Club, Pennsylvania.
"Pull the trigger already," her father hissed from behind her. "Sbrigati, while it's still there."
Sixteen year old Alix gulped nervously as she stared down the barrel of her borrowed shotgun into the clearing ahead of them.
The slender, almost skeletal form of the flame-red fox was in full view, just steps away, as it bent gracefully to drink from one of the preserve’s many ponds.
The fresh, cherry stain of blood was visible on its muzzle so Gio had surmised that it must’ve made a recent kill, probably a rabbit or some other small, unfortunate forest-dweller it had happened across.
Alix's finger hovered anxiously over the trigger, her hands quivering so much that she could hardly aim properly.
As if sensing her hesitation, the canid froze before glancing up directly across the pond, its delicate nose twitching and ears pricked as it located the threat: Her.
Its sharp, pointed features and wide, fear-filled eyes seemed to stare into her soul and Alix was struggling to breathe, suddenly feeling as though she'd swallowed a boulder. 
Noticing his sister's discomfort, Gio let out a muffled cough into his elbow. It was barely audible but it was enough to startle the fox, which immediately darted back into the mottled green woods, disappearing from view as quickly as it had appeared.
Once it was gone, the tension in the sixteen year old's shoulders released but she was still shaking. 
“For God’s sake, figlia mia,” their father had fumed as the three of them made their way back to the car, the weight of his footsteps telling her exactly how pissed off he was.
“They’re vermin.”
“They're still living things!” Alix retorted incredulously. "Besides, if the club wanted them gone, they'd be gone!" 
"They're a nuisance is what they are," Emilio continued contemptuously, ignoring her as he yanked the car door open. "Your brother knows. He would have shot it, wouldn't you, Gio? Would've brought us home a nice fox pelt." 
"So she didn't shoot it, big deal," nineteen year old Gio replied, immediately jumping to his sister's defense and Alix gave her brother a wan smile of appreciation. 
As the family’s golden boy, Gio was the only person in the world who could get away with talking to their father like that.
"Alix isn't a hunter and she doesn't have to be. She's not me, Pa."
"I'm all too aware, believe me," Emilio replied acerbically, the barb in his tone stinging like the tears starting to slide down Alix's cheeks. 
Gio reached over and silently put a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"He can go fuck himself," her brother whispered. "You just stay gentle, okay? It's who you are."
"Cavolo," their father swore under his breath with a roll of his eyes as they began the drive home. "Getting weepy over a damn fox. Pathetic."
╚══ •🖤🖤•🖤🖤•🖤🖤• ══╝
Contemporary: September 17th, 1944. Eindhoven, Netherlands.
“Tell him he’s free to go,” Alix said so quietly at first that it was barely audible.
“What?” Van Kooijk peered at her as though she’d sprung a second head, his brows furrowing. “Forgive me, I must have misunderstood.” 
The OSS agent gritted her teeth and repeated herself tersely once again, overenunciating each word so her French was impossible to mishear.
“Tell. Him. He’s. Free. To. Go.” 
"But he isn't," the Resistance leader maintained doggedly.
A strong look of contempt crossed his face and Alix wasn't sure whether it was aimed at her or Schreiber. 
"You realize he is Hitlerjugend, yes?"
Van Kooijk kept talking, not waiting for an answer. "I am telling you, letting him go would be a mistake."
"I'm aware. Tell him anyway." 
Despite what Alix could only assume were muttered curses, Van Kooijk grudgingly obeyed, addressing the boy in a clipped tone. 
 Schreiber's eyes went round with surprise and he broke into a toothy grin of relief.
He looked over to Alix but she couldn't meet his gaze, studying the ground intently instead as she tried to wrestle her misgivings under control. 
The handgun at her side felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
"Danke!" he kept repeating over and over. "Danke! Vielen dank!"
Van Kooijk didn't reply, instead spitting vehemently at the soil under their feet, seemingly the only act of displeasure he could think of that didn't include butchering the boy on the spot. 
 
Half-laughing with relief, Schreiber quickly turned to leave.
A fatal mistake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alix's OSS-issue suppressor ensured he never heard the shots. 
The first bullet hit him square in the upper back, the sheer force of it sending him lurching forward as though he'd been shoved. 
Crimson began to blossom through the back of his tan shirt, still neatly tucked into his uniform as he stumbled to his knees and Alix squeezed the trigger a second time, the final shot landing just behind his right ear, keeling him over entirely as his face met the earth. 
 
The agent tucked her gun back into the waistband of her trousers and took a couple steps toward the bodies before turning back to Van Kooijk.
Even he was still, leaning a shoulder against the building in stunned silence.
Alix felt bile rising in her throat at the sight of the two bloodied corpses at her feet but she forced her nausea back down, focusing instead on discarding her blood-stained sweater, tearing and scattering the pieces in the dirt with a frightening ferocity.
She was just in her undershirt and trousers now but she couldn't even feel the wind anymore. As quickly as the nausea had appeared, it vanished, replaced only by...a numbness.
"Hey John?”
The Resistance leader glanced up at the sound of his name and Alix met his gaze head-on, dark eyes boring into glass-green.
Any warmth in her tone was gone, her voice as cold and deadly as the winter chill.
“Don’t ever question me again.”

The Science Behind THC Gummies: How They Work and What to Expect?
Tumblr media
With the expanding legalization of recreational cannabis across numerous states, there's a growing curiosity surrounding the drug's impact on overall health. While smoking cannabis remains a well-known method of consumption, the spotlight has shifted to edibles—products infused with cannabis such as brownies, muffins, doughnuts, peanut butter and THC gummies (Delta 9 THC gummies, Delta 8 THC gummies and Rabbit Hole gummies).
In fact, among all, THC gummies have surged in popularity as a convenient and discreet way to consume cannabis. These flavorful treats offer a novel alternative to traditional smoking methods, providing users with a controlled and enjoyable experience. However, understanding how these THC gummies (Delta 9 THC gummies, Delta 8 THC gummies and Rabbit Hole gummies) work and what to expect from their effects is essential for both novice and experienced consumers alike. Knowing the ins and outs of how cannabis affects the body when consumed in food is crucial.
Therefore, in this blog we will delve into what you need to know about the effects of cannabis ingested through edibles.
The Science Behind Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC Gummies
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces the "high" sensation. When consumed, THC interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a complex network of neurotransmitters and receptors responsible for regulating various physiological functions.
THC gummies be it Delta 9 THC gummies or Delta 8 THC gummies or Rabbit Hole gummies are infused with a specific dosage of THC extract, typically derived from cannabis plants. Upon ingestion, the THC is absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive system. From there, it travels to the brain, where it binds to cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 receptors, located in areas responsible for mood, memory, and perception.
The Effects of THC Gummies
The effects of THC gummies - Delta 9 THC gummies, Delta 8 THC gummies, Rabbit Hole gummies can vary depending on factors such as dosage, individual tolerance, and metabolism. Generally, users can expect to experience a range of physical and psychological effects, including:
Euphoria and Relaxation: As the THC interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, it triggers a cascade of neurotransmitter activity that promotes a sense of well-being and tranquility. Users often describe experiencing a profound sense of calm and contentment, which can be particularly appealing in today's fast-paced and stressful world. The euphoric effects of THC gummies may induce a state of upliftment, enhancing mood and fostering sociability. Consequently, THC gummies have become a favored choice for social gatherings, where individuals seek to unwind and enjoy the company of friends in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Moreover, for those partaking in recreational cannabis use, THC gummies offer a convenient and discreet way to achieve a state of euphoria and relaxation without the need for smoking or vaping. This accessibility further contributes to their widespread popularity among cannabis enthusiasts seeking a pleasurable and enjoyable experience.
Altered Perception: One of the hallmark effects of THC gummies or even THCA pre rolls consumption, is its ability to induce alterations in perception. THC interacts with the brain's cannabinoid receptors, particularly those in regions responsible for processing sensory information and regulating perception. As a result, users often report experiencing changes in sensory perception, with colors appearing more vivid and vibrant, sounds becoming more pronounced and intricate, and textures feeling more detailed and tactile. Additionally, THC can distort time perception, causing it to either slow down or speed up, leading users to perceive the passage of time differently than usual. This altered sense of time can contribute to a heightened sense of immersion in the present moment or a feeling of time dilation, where minutes may seem to stretch into hours. Similarly, THC can affect spatial awareness, influencing how individuals perceive and navigate their physical environment. These perceptual alterations contribute to the unique and immersive experience that THC gummies offer, enriching sensory perception and enhancing the overall enjoyment of the cannabis experience.
Increased Appetite: THC gummies are notorious for inducing what is colloquially referred to as the "munchies." This phenomenon involves a noticeable surge in appetite and cravings for food shortly after consuming THC. The mechanism behind this effect lies in THC's interaction with the brain's cannabinoid receptors, particularly those located in the appetite-regulating centers. When THC binds to these receptors, it triggers a series of chemical signals that stimulate the release of hunger-inducing hormones and neurotransmitters. As a result, users may find themselves experiencing intense cravings for a wide array of foods, from savory snacks to sweet treats. Moreover, the appetite-stimulating effects of THC gummies can be especially pronounced due to the nature of their consumption. Unlike smoking or vaping, which deliver THC directly into the bloodstream and provide a rapid onset of effects, ingesting THC gummies results in a slower and more prolonged release of THC into the bloodstream. This gradual release allows for sustained activation of appetite-regulating mechanisms, leading to prolonged feelings of hunger and increased food intake. Interestingly, the "munchies" phenomenon is not solely driven by physiological factors but may also have psychological components. For many users, consuming THC gummies is often associated with relaxation, enjoyment, and indulgence, creating an environment conducive to snacking and culinary exploration.
Additionally, the heightened sensory perception and enhanced taste sensations induced by THC may further amplify the desire to seek out and savor delicious foods. Overall, while the "munchies" effect of THC gummies may lead to increased calorie intake in the short term, it is essential to consume them mindfully and in moderation. By being mindful of hunger cues and making conscious choices about food consumption, individuals can harness the appetite-stimulating effects of THC gummies while maintaining a balanced and healthy diet.
Enhanced Creativity: This phenomenon often manifests as a heightened ability to generate novel ideas, think abstractly, and explore new perspectives. Users may find themselves more receptive to artistic inspiration, with ideas flowing more freely and effortlessly. One possible explanation for this effect lies in THC's influence on cognitive processes and neural activity within the brain. THC interacts with the brain's cannabinoid receptors, which are abundantly present in regions involved in creativity. Furthermore, the altered state of consciousness induced by THC gummies may foster a heightened sense of introspection and self-awareness. Users may find themselves reflecting deeply on their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, leading to profound insights and personal growth. This heightened sensory awareness can inspire users to explore new artistic mediums, experiment with unconventional techniques, and push the boundaries of their creative endeavors.
Potential Side Effects of THC Gummies
While THC gummies like Rabbit Hole Gummies or Delta 8 THC gummies and Delta 9 THC gummies can offer enjoyable and therapeutic effects for many users, it's essential to be aware of potential side effects.
These side effects may include dry mouth, red eyes, impaired coordination, and temporary memory impairment. In rare cases, excessive consumption of THC gummies may lead to anxiety, paranoia, or hallucinations, particularly in individuals prone to such reactions.
Navigating the Experience of THC Gummies
To maximize the enjoyment and safety of THC gummies, it's crucial to start with a low dosage and gradually increase as needed. Beginners should begin with a dosage of 2.5-5mg of THC and wait at least two hours before consuming more. This allows time to assess the effects and adjust dosage accordingly.
For example, the Rabbit Hole gummies contains 20mg D9 THC, while Wonderland Delta 8 THC gummies contain 25 mg Delta-8 THC (both under the legal limit of <0.3% Delta-9 THC per dry weight).
Additionally, it's essential to consume THC gummies responsibly and in a safe environment. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while under the influence of THC, and always store gummies securely out of reach of children and pets. Keep in mind these are not medical claims, and that everyone’s physical and mental reactions to hemp products may greatly vary.
The Final Thoughts On THC Gummies
THC gummies like Delta 8 THC gummies, Delta 9 THC gummies, Rabbit Hole gummies and others can offer a convenient and enjoyable way to experience the effects of hemp and cannabis. Users can anticipate a controlled and foreseeable experience when indulging in these treats. Equipped with knowledge about the workings of THC gummies and the anticipated effects, individuals can navigate their cannabis journey with informed decision-making and responsible consumption.
As with any cannabis product, adhering to principles of moderation, mindfulness, and recognizing individual tolerance thresholds are paramount to ensuring a gratifying and harmonious experience with THC gummies.

The odor of baked items wafts from the house of Wendi Reeves-Abdallah. It wasn't way back that Reeves-Abdallah, a longtime Longview resident, determined to show her ardour for baking right into a enterprise known as Sweetly Distinctive. "Desirous about the truth that I am a part of any individual's wedding ceremony and my creation goes to be of their photos perpetually, or like a birthday or gender reveal get together or something like that — I simply assume it is fairly cool," she mentioned.  Assist native information protection and the people who report it by subscribing to The Each day Information. Reeves-Abdallah formally opened about six months earlier than the COVID-19 pandemic. For many companies, the pandemic posed a significant impediment.However with Reeves-Abdallah's distinctive allow that permits her to promote items out of her residence, orders remained regular.

Greetings, loyal State Og employees and minions! We're back with another thrilling update on our latest diabolical schemes, inventions, and business ventures. As always, your unwavering loyalty and dedication to the cause have been noted and are much appreciated. So, without further ado, let's dive into this week's report!
Project Code Name: Silent Symphony
Our innovative R&D team has created a groundbreaking new device, the Noise Nullifier 3000. This little gem can cancel out any sound within a 50-foot radius, allowing you to enjoy peace and quiet in even the most cacophonous environments. Say goodbye to annoying neighbors, barking dogs, and construction noise! Just be careful not to accidentally activate it during your own surprise birthday party.
New Branch: State Og Bakery
Who says evil organizations can't have a sweet side? Introducing State Og's Bakery Division! We're infiltrating the baked goods market with sinister treats like the Malevolent Muffins, the Chaos Cupcakes, and the Diabolical Donuts. Each pastry contains a secret ingredient designed to ensure customer loyalty and compliance with State Og's objectives. Warning: May cause mild side effects such as increased cravings and occasional maniacal laughter.
Employee of the Month: Agent #2389
Congratulations to Agent #2389 for their exceptional performance in the field! During their latest mission, they successfully infiltrated a rival organization, sabotaged their operations, and returned with valuable intel. Agent #2389 will be receiving a complimentary State Og gift basket, a 10% pay raise, and an all-expenses-paid vacation to our top-secret tropical island lair. Well done, Agent #2389!
New Mandatory Training Program: Advanced Interrogation Techniques
State Og takes employee development very seriously, which is why we're introducing a new mandatory training program for all field agents: Advanced Interrogation Techniques. This course will cover cutting-edge methods of extracting information from captives, including psychological manipulation, enhanced persuasion tactics, and our patented "Tickle Torture" technique. Attendance is mandatory, and failure to complete the course may result in your own "enhanced interrogation" session.
Product Recall: The MindControlinator™
Due to an unfortunate programming error, we are issuing a product recall for our MindControlinator™ devices. It seems that instead of controlling the minds of others, the device is actually causing users to become obsessed with 90s boy bands. If you have a MindControlinator™, please return it to your nearest State Og facility for a full refund and a complimentary NSYNC poster.
And that concludes this week's State Og report. As always, we're grateful for your dedication and loyalty to our cause. Remember: keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and your evil plans even closer still. Have a nefarious week, and let's keep dominating the world together!

Comparative Analysis Of Starbucks And Dunkin' Donuts
Tumblr media
The common person likes coffee. Because coffee includes caffeine and makes you work longer, many individuals get reliant on it. Nowadays, many believe that the name "coffee" comes from substances that keep them energized and warmed up throughout the day. There is a myth behind this story, though. Because it encourages the belief that coffee "makes a person alert," coffee is not entirely healthful. The two most well-known coffee businesses should be recognized by all coffee enthusiasts: Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. Which, however, is better in comparison?
Even though it was founded 20 years after Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks developed swiftly and is now a far larger business. While Starbucks generated over $22 billion in revenue in FY 2017, Dunkin' Brands reported sales of over $860 million. With more than 28,209 outlets worldwide, Starbucks has a larger presence than Dunkin' Brands, which has more than 20,500 points of distribution. Starbucks outpaces Dunkin' Donuts, which has around 9,200 stores, with over 14,000 outlets countrywide. By building 3,400 more locations in the United States by 2021, Starbucks plans to increase its market share in places like China, while Dunkin' anticipates adding 1,000 net new locations by the end of 2020. Starbucks has a significantly greater international expansion, as of the end of 2017, with 27,339 locations across 75 different countries. Despite the fact that Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlors rather than Dunkin' Donuts locations make up the majority of Dunkin' Brands' international locations, the business has a substantial global presence. While the company only has 3,397 donut outlets outside of the United States, it operates 5,422 Baskin-Robbins locations, compared to 2,560 in the US.
Tumblr media
Only $5.4 million, or less than 4% of Dunkin' Donuts' entire Q1 2018 sales of $139.9 million, were generated by its international businesses. Starbucks' consolidated net revenues for the most recent quarter, which ended on April 1, were attributable to markets outside of the Americas by over 30%. Dunkin' has made aggressive plans for both domestic and foreign expansion in an effort to compete with the footprint of its primary competition. Different growth techniques, however, are the cause of the magnitude discrepancies.
Comparative Analysis Of Starbucks And Dunkin' Donuts
Franchising
The majority of Dunkin' Brands' locations. Licensed Starbucks locations are disproportionately prevalent outside of the nation as corporate-owned and operated stores account for 59% of the stores in the United States and 48.6% of the locations elsewhere.
Dunkin' Donuts has a stronger exposure to the franchise and rental revenue than Starbucks, which is mostly held by owner-operators, resulting in a fundamentally different company. This has a big impact on capital expenditures, cost structures, and income streams.
In contrast to franchised locations, company-operated stores have different operational and capital expenditure structures. Starbucks' cost of goods sold (COGS) and retail operating expenditures as a percentage of sales are significantly lower than those of Starbucks. Given that COGS is so much more important in Starbucks' earnings structure, changes in coffee bean prices have a greater influence on company profitability. Starbucks also has a greater burden of capital costs because Dunkin' Donuts is not required to buy cooking equipment for franchise locations.
Food Choices
The menu selections at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks are significantly different. Starbucks offers a variety of baked items, including bagels, muffins, scones, and sandwiches. The "bistro boxes" that Starbucks sells separately are prepackaged lunchboxes that frequently include a sandwich, some snack-size veggies, and a tiny dessert. Among other dessert treats, they also sell tarts, cookies, and cake pops. At Starbucks, a healthy menu is also offered. They provide reduced-fat turkey bacon sandwiches with egg whites, oatmeal, spinach, feta wraps, and breakfast sandwiches. The picture on the right depicts the spinach and feta wrap. Despite what it may seem like, I can tell you that it is not appetizing. with the exception of vegetarians. Starbucks has added holiday-themed items in an effort to please its consumers. For the winter holidays, Starbucks has also added new food options, such as paninis with turkey and stuffing, carved ham and egg sandwiches, croissants with pistachio honey, gingerbread loaves, penguin cake pops, and snowman cookies. For Easter and Valentine's Day, they add cake pops in the shape of ducks and hearts, respectively.
On the opposite side, you'll find bagels, muffins, croissants, sandwiches, hash browns, and wraps from Dunkin Donuts. The main distinction between Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks is that the latter sells highly favored goods like donuts and munchkins. There is a healthy menu at Dunkin. There are several types of donuts, including glazed, chocolate frosted, vanilla frosted, and boston creme. Munchkins are most frequently found in the flavours of glazed, glazed chocolate, powdered sugar, and jelly. At Dunkin, there is a nutritious menu. Oats, multigrain bagels, vegetable egg white sandwiches, turkey sausage sandwiches, and egg and cheese sandwiches are also offered. For the winter holidays, they expand their menu to include items like Santa doughnuts, Hershey kiss donuts, and cinnamon cream cheese. For Valentine's Day, they made the heart-shaped doughnuts in the picture.
Drink Options
Small, medium and large are drinks at Dunkin Donuts sizes. At Dunkin Donuts, you may choose from a variety of hot and iced coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, iced teas, fruity iced teas, and coolatta. The coffee selection at Dunkin' Donuts includes cold brew, Americano, latte, macchiato, cappuccino, and espresso. On a hot summer day, a cool matte is a perfect beverage to sip. It is made consisting of ice, coffee, and flavoring syrup (or fruit juice, depending on the sequence). Among the flavors are caramel, mocha, raspberry, blueberry, and coconut. They added a Peeps marshmallow-flavored coffee for Easter. they added coffee with Peeps marshmallow taste. For St. Patrick's Day, they added Irish Creme coffee and espresso to their menu. Additionally, they provide peppermint mocha hot chocolate and almond joy coffee throughout the winter holidays. The word "joy" is added to Dunkin' Donuts' updated cups along with pictures of certain Christmas trees. During the fall, they provide pecan, maple, and pumpkin-flavored coffees as well as lattes.
