________________________________________

“Isn’t that a health code violation?” 

Looking up from your book you'd been reading for the past half hour, you heaved a heavy-handed sigh. Sitting on the back counter of the dead dinner you worked at was the least of this shitty establishments problems. “I’ll be sure to let the rats in the kitchen know of your concerns,” you replied simply. 

Dog-earring the page of your book, you set it down beside you. Hopping off, you stepped forward towards the counter as the kid who just entered sat down on one of the stools, planting himself with a look of clear repugnance as he eyed his surrounding subtly. Resting your elbows on the counter, you propped your head on your hands and gave a friendly grin, “I’m sure they’d be happy to whip up some Mickey Mouse pancakes, special just for you.” 

His face though perfectly deadpanned couldn’t hide the slight tick of annoyance in his eyes. “Just get me a black coffee,” he muttered. 

“Coffee will stunt your growth.” 

“You’ll be stunted if you keep up this horrible customer service.”

“Ouch,” sarcasm dripped from your tone as you raised your hands up in mock defeat, “the kitten’s got a bit of a bite there, doesn’t he?” 

Quite honestly, your day was now veering on to a particularly delightful route you hadn’t expected when you first woke up this morning. You suddenly believed some sort of divine karma was finally rewarding you with some quality entertainment. He could banter— a bit on the aggressive side, but you would take what you could get out of the interaction. You knew it wasn’t going to last long. 

“Look, are you going to give me the coffee or are you just going to stand around all day uselessly taking in the air that could be breathed in by more deserving people?” 

Oh, so he’s got knobby knees and wit to match. 

Letting a slow amused smile cross your face as you gave a lazy curtsy, you casually made your way over to the fresh pot and grabbed one of the porcelain white mugs, giving him a knowing look as you poured a good ‘ol black cup of joe. Setting the pot back down, you sauntered your way back over still holding the smile. The kid rolled his eyes, reaching out a hand as he impatiently said, “thank you,” in a refined and expertly practiced condescending manner. But you didn’t hand it to him. No, instead you casually leaned back against the back counter and took a long sip of the burning hot liquid. 

Well, the little tyke certainly did not like that. 

In what was an actually flash of blue light before your eyes, the kid vanished from his place on the rickety red vinyl stool and was beside you a moment later, ripping the mug from your hand with such force that caused the liquid to spill over the sides, scorching your hand and splashing it on your already grease stained, 50’s themed uniform. So, he was words and action. You could respect that. 

“What, no screaming? Not even another smartass comment?” He half-heartedly asked, his eyebrow quirked slightly as he studied you. It was like he was waiting for some sort of delayed reaction from his little magic trick. While yes, it was a little jarring to see it in the flesh for the first time, the moment he had walked through those glass doors you expected a bit of a ‘powerful’ confrontation.

You knew he was Number Five. You knew he was a part of that Umbrella Academy. 

“You know who I am,” he stated in his all brilliant glory. Well, look at that. Seemed he was a real Sherlock as well as a tiny space hopper.  

Easily taking the cup of coffee back, wincing slightly as the cold air pressed against the new burn you tried to seem unfazed about, you took a sip and mumbled against the rim of the cup, “I’m a bit surprised you’re here and actually alive, but it’s easy to remember a face that hasn’t aged a day." Setting the mug down on the counter, you pressed a hand to your hip and questioned, “how is that exactly? Did you run from home just to make yourself immortal? Found yourself an Edward Cullen to bite you or something?” 

Now, you’ve had people look at you like you were stupid before, but no one with a talent such as him. Even though he was looking up at you, he still mastered that beady squinty little look that read ‘you’re the joke of the earth’. Precious. 

“I don’t know who Edward Cullen is, but I’m not immortal, and I don’t have time to explain the whole story to you in detail. Let’s just say I got stuck in time.” Doing his little magic flash again, he appeared back on the other side of the counter, continuing to speak as he added, “Is anyone else here? I assume you’d rather show me what you can do without anyone else around.” 

Ah, yes. What you could do. So that was why he was here. Part of you wondered if someday it would happen. That’s why you knew who he was when he first walked in after all. You kept tabs on all of them, at least a bit. Yeah, the whole “Umbrella Academy” was famous for a little while when you were a kid, but most people had since forgotten them and the kids in the academy had grown up and had become almost unrecognizable. Well, apart from Five. And maybe Allison, but hell, she was famous for a while different reason now. 

Like the others, you were born October 1st 1989 to a completely unexpecting mother who got the shock of her god damn life. If you were 9 months pregnant in under a minute flat, you’d probably be pretty shocked too. However, you were just stunned that something as odd as that could actually happen and result in you getting powers.

Unlike the others, when your parents were approached by professor evil monopoly Reginald Hargreeves, your mom rejected anything he offered in favor of her miracle baby. She was certain she was the new Virgin Mary despite absolutely not being a virgin and refused to give up that title up. At least at that moment, she didn’t want to anyway.  

“You managed to figure out where I worked, and I assume at this point you know my name,” you started, “so why don’t you just tell me what I can do and let me know why you're here so I can turn you down and get back to my book.” Gesturing your hands around the extremely empty diner, you breathed, “I’m a very busy person as you can see.” 

Five didn’t say anything, instead just giving you an almost thoughtful look. You didn’t trust it one fucking bit. 

Quicker than you would have expected out him, he reached over and picked up one of the plates on the counter and threw it your way with such force you wondered for a second if the reason he'd been missing for so long was because he’d taken up a passionate love affair with baseball. On instinct, damn the treacherous thing, your body chilled as a static feeling pushed out of you, surrounding you in a soft, nearly invisible blue bubble-- your force field. The plate bounced right off and landed on the floor, shattering lamely and loudly. 

It was legal to kill a kid who had been missing for years, right?

“Can’t you play a game of catch with the poor kid?” Came a new drama-dripped voice in the door, the little bell ringing softly as he spoke. “His father was a sociopath who didn't pay him any mind, he’s very stunted as you can see. So desperate for the affection and attention of strangers.” 

Klaus. He’d been harder to track over the years, but from the feather collared jacket and lack of shirt, you could spot the eccentricity of him miles away. 

Taking on a protective stance, you moved from behind the counter and positioned yourself in front of Five, stage whispering to him, “careful, looks like one of the kitchen rats got out. They’re very diseased.”

Klaus tilted his head to the side, his mouth snapping open and his eyebrows rising up in stunned amusement. Pointing at you, he turned his attention towards Five and stated, “I’m wounded! This seems to be going on spectacularly, don’t you think?”

Shaking your head with a slight grin, you started to speak to ream five out for throwing a freakin’ plate, but your words died off on the tip of your tongue when your gross ass boss pushed open the doors to the kitchen, his loud, gritty greased voice shouted, “what did you break out here?” His spine went rigid a bit when he seemed to finally note the presence of two other people, but his eyes quickly glanced at the shattered plate and his face continued to get splotchy and red. “Is that your kid who broke it? Jesus, that’s coming out of your paycheck.”

Wow, that 50 cent shitty plate? How would you ever survive? 

Hands slipped around your neck in a hug as Klaus propped his chin on top of your head, his attention fully on your boss. “I’m so sorry sir, you know how it is with kids, gotta get all those angst and deep-seated feeling out somehow. Yesterday we found out he’s been pretending the family cat was his girlfriend. Had to take him to the hospital to get those scratches on his little friend checked out, if you know what I mean,” he smiled, moving away from you to pat the clearly seething Five on the head. 

Before the kid could say anything or do something that would get you in more shit, you plastered your own happy little smile on and bent down beside him, wrapping your arms around his shoulder as you continue to address your boss. “He was just upset because he found out I told his teacher about his little bed wetting problem.” Five ripped your arm away with incredible force and stepped away from you both. Sighing dramatically, you rested the side of your face on your palm and slightly shook your head, adding, “It’s so hard, I just don’t know where we went wrong!” 

Klaus snickered behind you, while your boss looked properly petrified and regretful about having walked in on the whole ordeal at all. 

“Just uh-- forget about it. Clean it up okay?” 

Giving him a wink and you stood back up, you flicked your wrist in a lazy salute. “You got it, Boss Man.” He couldn’t turn back around and get back to the back room fast enough. 

Turning the face the two once again, Klaus grinned as he said, “brilliant work,” raising his hand for a knowing high five. You happily obliged. 

“Was that really necessary?” Five ground out from between his teeth, as you shot him back an incredulous look. “Was it necessary to throw a plate at me?” you retorted, fully not expecting him to reply with, “Yes. It was the only way I could make sure you had a force field.” 

Smartass.

Running your hand through your hair tiredly to get it out of your face, you crossed your arms again and didn’t bother to argue anymore. “Just tell me what this is about.” At this point, you were tired and really just wanted to get back to your quiet night. Klaus was also giving you a once over every thirty seconds and you weren’t quite sure what he looked so bloody excited and anxious about. 

“I have a theory, and I’d like to test it out,” Five said. Klaus quickly interjected with, “and I’m one of the test subjects,” wiggling his eyebrows as he did. 

Narrowing your gaze, you questioned “one of?” 

“Well, it requires you, but before I explain, to what extent can you use your powers? Have you done anything more than just deflect things off your field?”

You shook your head, confusion still clouding your words. “That’s all. Some guy tries to knife me? He bounces off. Sometimes I get lucky and he stabs himself in the process. It’s a simple thing. 

“How many times has someone tried to knife you?” Klaus asked with a small snort, but Five cut him off with a great little bomb of information. “I’ve done some calculations on how your power works, and I think that if someone like us was in the field with you it might nullify our powers.”Huh.

“And... math makes you think that?” 

Five rolled his eyes. You got the idea he did that a fair bit. “I want to test out to see if that’s true, so if you will,  please conjure up your field around you and Klaus and we’ll see if it works on him.” 

Flashing your eyes to Klaus who almost seemed to jitter with excitement, your eyes got slightly wide when you asked, “wait, there’s a ghost here? Like right now?” You swiveled your head around like you would actually be able to see it.  

Klaus nodded his head. “Ben, meet Y/N, Y/N meet our brother Ben.” Pressing a hand to his heart, he added, “forever in our hearts and forever by my side. I am his saving grace.” Turning his head abruptly, he quickly said, “shut up,” to the air-- or Ben, rather-- slicing his hand in a silencing sound. 

Raising a hand hesitantly, you gave a flick of your wrist in that direction, squeaking out a small, “Hi Ben.” 

“If you two idiots are done,” Five muttered, but you stopped him as you said, “three idiots. It’s rude to dismiss Ben’s presence. You're his brother, be respectful.” Five ignored you. “The sooner we test this, the sooner we can leave.”  

Oh, now he was speaking your language. 

Shaking out your shoulders, you widened your stance and clapped your hands, saying, “alright, let's go.” Klaus gave some excited little claps as he stepped to your side, telling Five, “field trips are always so much fun!” 

Taking in a deep breath, you let the energy seep out of you until that familiar snap surrounded you, this time entrapping not on you, but Klaus as well. 

The smiling man quickly went silent. 

“So,” you started hesitantly, turning to study his face. “Did it work?” 

Multiple emotions seemed to cross his features, and it revealed to you certain hopelessness and vulnerability that was so unfamiliar to you and what you had known about him. It dawned on you at that moment that you had no idea what this meant. To him. To Five. Christ, nerves started to wrack through your body when you realized they could be having you do this just to try and kill you because they see it as some sort of ridiculous threat. Still, that seemed unlikely. No, they needed it somehow. 

And as Klaus turned towards you, looking at you as if you were some wonderous figure and not just some crappy diner waiter working two jobs just to get by, you realized that whatever they had been searching for, they had found. Whatever Klaus had been searching for, he had found. 

“They’re gone.” 

His voice was just a fraction above a whisper, but it sent a chill across your skin as his intense gaze once again studied you with incredible fascination. But as he took a step forward, his hand oh-so-gently reaching for your hand, your focus went away and the force field fell, all the sounds and senses of the real world hitting you all at once. 

Five was staring at you both with an odd look you didn’t quite know what to think of. 

“Alright."

Clearing your throat, you took a small step back as the fog cleared out of your head, stating back a dull, “huh?” 

“We’ll be at your apartment in the morning. Get ready to meet the others.” 

Wait, what the fuck?

“My apartment? You guys haven’t even explained what you guys want from me!” You blurted, moving your head rapidly as you looked back and forth between the two. 

“I’ll explain everything tomorrow,” was all Five said, as both him and Klaus began moving towards to door, clearly content with what they came here to do. Well, that was nice for them. They could sleep soundly as you sat up in bed all night looking up fucking umbrella academy conspiracy theories to try and convince yourself what happened here was actually real. 

“There’s no way in hell you’re getting those Mickey Mouse pancakes now!” You shot back as he exited the door, huffing as you turned around to go clean up the plate.

Then something smacked hard on the back of your head, landing on the ground with a little rattle. 

“Oopsie.”

Spinning around, gripping the back of your head, you were about to yell obscenities at Klaus who’d just thrown a spoon of all things, but he was already halfway out the door calling behind him, “I thought your little bubble would just appear like a party trick, bye!” 

Idiots. Idiots had just taken over your life.

[purge-that-urge-rhackathon]

Anon questions: 1. What is the CIA business you've mentioned? 2. Is it okay living with your parents? (sorry but reading all the abusive stuff they've done to you made me worried..) :( and 3. How are you truly??? Drinking enough water?? Therapy? All the best to you you're awesome ♥️

you are a sweetie anon xD I rambled so i put it under a cut ahahah!

1. So when my job contract with the japanese government ended, i planned to work for the CIA once I returned to the states :) I worked in japan for 4years, and that job application took an entire year to apply (extensive federal background checks, medical exams, pages upon pages of questions, requirements including a 2 page essay in japanese about why i was qualified for the job, and an interview at the US embassy in los angeles with a japanese diplomat, an american diplomat, and someone who held the position i was applying for). I scored extremely highly among those accepted.

Getting into the CIA was going to be relatively simple in comparison (im one of those ‘college was easier than high school’ kids lolol) xD Then the election happened and i said fuuuuuck that shit i have a soul im not working for this administration. Now I bartend xD

2. YES! i understand its not at all normal or ‘okay’, and nothing ive said or been super upset about has been untrue, but i understand my place in life and how much im at the mercy and charity of others or not, and how to deal living in this type of environment and choosing my battles wisely, but im not paying rent, im aware of how much resources i use here and how i contribute to the household, so i mean i know i have it way better than a lot of people, but stuff from the past cropping up now and then in other behaviors does make me relive trauma so like... idk im good i guess? Im trying to pay down my debt so staying here helps me do that. A lot of the abusive stuff like objectively its bad, but subjectively, i mean i have a good life now in comparison? especially considering that i think what i went through as a child was way harder than what im going through now. My standards arent very high tho ahaha i mean what im comparing how good life is now compared to how it was, i should have no complaints xD I can take food from the fridge or cupboard when im hungry without getting beat for it, hot showers, meat regularly, and i have my own room with a bed that always stays where it is so thats cool. It’s extremely hard to reconcile the way i grew up with what i experience now and knowing i had it worse then so why does it hurt so much worse now? or like idk ahahha i mean i love my family even if they’ve been responsible for some of my very darkest moments of my life. It’s just more obstacles to understand and adapt around haha im dead inside but doing fine since xmas is over! Whenever the bar gets sets lower, it just means it takes that much more to disappoint me, which conversely means i understand how good the good moments actually are so im very very easily pleased bahaha!

3. I AM FINALLY REHYDRATED!! And my friend called that therapist i wanted to see multiple times (she never picked up; im assuming she was away for the xmas/new years holidays) but no i havent been able to get in yet, but im feeling mentally so much more balanced now that december is over and january is almost done. They’re not good months for me whatsoever and only now do i realize just how excessive my drinking/smoking was by the fact i actually still have beer in the fridge from weeks ago right now xD I suddenly dont need it, and that realization tells me a lot about my mental state, sooo im optimistic i think? haha anyways im super excited about going to Wondercon this year and hanging out with friends, and i have two kitties (who ive got trained to put themselves in their crate at night xD theyre not even 1yr yet xD) and i managed to make a considerable dent in my debt this year (as long as nothing happens with my teeth again this year i should make a lot of progress!) so like, ive got some things to look forward to. Working on stress management too haha but we’ll see! ♡ ♡ ♡

#poisonjack answers #you picked some good ones anon! ahahha thank you for letting me ramble. i dont got the therapist yet but this functions the same xD #check out Open Source Officer. thats the position i was gonna go for haha xD SUPER fucking easy job. i was already doing it in japan xD #ive had my hands on many a government document lololol i know how to gather intel. ive been doing it at work for my OSHA complaint xD #i know things >_> #im just a busy body where information is concerned. im the person who completes videogames 100% through all path options xD

[spaceiplier]

A poorly articulated post about lore for the spaciplier au - gober

Alien types, planets, languages, etc

Jack|| Velm: he is a reptilian type alien. When they’re young they have blue stripes over their bodies and they’re arm spikes haven’t grown in yet. Once the arm spike/scales grown in and when those stripes go away they are considered adults. Their skin is extremely tough and they are cold blooded, so their planet is very warm, dry, and rocky. Most of them especially enjoy sunbathing. They’re tails help them balance as well as serve as a weapon against other creatures. They have sharp teeth, they’re omnivorous but mostly carnivorous, they can see in the dark relatively well, and have fast reflexes. They take naps throughout the day instead of sleeping for long intervals. They’re ears twitch when they hear sudden noises or just when they want. They’re a very survival of the fittest species, and since all members are very strong that tactic seemed to have worked out evolutionary wise. Also they are hatched from eggs.

There was a neighboring planet that this species became allies with, but when they were in trouble the GAAP failed to give them any reinforcements and that planet and its inhabitants were destroyed. This caused jack’s species to cut all ties with the GAAP politically and some even actively go against it, most just ignore it. Many pirates, black market dealers, and mercenaries are from this planet.

Kathryn|| Ninkain: the ninkain may look similar to humans, but their biology and mannerisms are very different. They are predatory hunters naturally, but they’ve evolved a lot since then and are just carnivores now. They have sharp claws, tough skin, sharp teeth, a tail, and tentacle like things hanging from their ears which allow them to sense electromagnetic fields. They’re hearing is superb, they see best in the dark, though they can see fine enough in light, they’re fast on their feet, and they have tremendous balance. They behave similar to cats and their native language is mostly gesture based with few noises between them. It’s kinda like a full body sign language kinda deal. They’re skin can be grey, purple, or red, or a mix of those colors. They have markings on them, males typically have lighter markings then their skin tone, females have darker markings compared to their skin color. They have live births and twins are especially common amongst their species.

Tyler|| Graeldurs: they have a hard outer shell that resembles rock, which grows as they age. They have been known to carve markings into their rock outer layer, since the pain is very dulled there. But, it’s pretty old fashioned, so many have stopped the tradition. They’re the definition of gentle giant, their great strength and height makes them seem threatening but most are very logical and would prefer to avoid conflict, but when it is necessary they are prepared to efficiently take down their enemies. They can be multiple different rock like colors, some even having stripes or even a mix of two types of rocks depending on their parentage. They also have decently long lifespans, living up to 200 years, they reach maturity at around 20 at the lastest and 10 at the earliest, but a general number is 15 and that’s the legal age they are considered an adult. Common jobs for them are leadership positions, especially in the GAAP, many join the space fleet, and also they take up technical jobs creating medicines, new machines, tech, and generally making scientific discoveries. They’re also good teachers or mentors. They’re home planet is very cold for most of its year, it’s the 6th planet from its sun, has 3 moons, and 2 seasons; a warm season only lasting a few months (human time) and a cold season lasting a little more than a year (human time). They aren’t affected much by temperatures, but their main food source is more abundant in colder climates. They mine to get to crystals and the like since it’s their main food source, they live underground, well their cities are underground. There are also extremely cold blizzards that commonly happen and while the cold won’t kill them outright, it can freeze them to the point where they can’t move. Which isn’t good since they’d prolly starve since they can’t get food.

Androids vs robots || rights and legal stuff

Androids: all androids have what is legally classified as free will. They are capable of complex emotion, creativity, and learning past what was put in their memory chip. They can feel ‘pain’ and can develop skills that weren’t implemented when they were first built. And they are made of Android specific parts.

There was an Android civil rights movement that had been going on since before mark’s birth and gained a lot of traction and support when mark was a kid. They finally gained basic space rights when mark was around 12. They’re still discriminated against, but it’s a lot better then it was 20 years ago so. They can no longer be forced into servitude legally, though it definitely still happens, they have the ability to run for government positions, they have a right to a fair trial and all that good stuff.

Robots: robots typically can only do what is in their programming, they can retain knowledge but they are incapable of coming up with something new or creative nor can they learn a new skill on their own. They can be made out of any parts, there are robot specific parts but usually they are a mix of Android parts, mech parts, and robot specific parts. They still have no legal rights and are considered property under space law. They are capable of emotion, but only if it’s programmed in and it’s typically limited, and they aren’t capable of feeling pain. They are incapable of going against their programming.

Who in this au is a robot and whose an android

Ethan and blank are androids while all of jack’s egos are robots

Different planets

Ventos Beta:

This is a planet that no longer really has a set major species. There are a multitude of different alien species living here, mostly land based ones. It’s the perfect planet for farming, which is their main source of trade, though that’s not the only job available. There still needs to be doctors and shop keeps and the sort. This is where Tyler and mark grew up, living quite close by to each other and going to the same school. There are 3 other ventos named planets (ventos prime, alpha, gamma, and omega) they’re all in the same system (the ventos system) orbiting ventos IV, and they were terraformed by the GAAP for multi species use and adhere to GAAP laws and the like.

Zerentia: (where mark was born)

this is a water based planet, there are very little spots of land and almost all of the inhabitants and all of the natural intelligent species are water based and live under the sea. It’s a naturally warm planet and it’s days are very short. It has no moons and 2 suns. There are 4 other planets in its solar system, 3 of which support life, 2 are more tropical and warm while one is more cold and snowy and has more land mass.

Phalieth|| dominant Species: These aliens are a type of aquatic mammal. They have a long, muscular tail and small anal fin, two huge side fins and a short, strong dorsal fin.They have two eyes which sit thightly in their sockets and can often make them appear to be serene. Their eyesight is astonishing.Their huge mouths and small noses often make these aliens appear to be slick, but looks can be deceiving.Their ears are wide and large and their hearing is excellent. They also have one long horn on their head.Their skin is thin, but strong. Their skin colors are mostly dark gold, light orange and blue, which tend to become dull as they age.The males are usually lazier than their female counterpart and their colors are more vibrant. The females, however, are usually more adventurous.

Folia: this is a very colorful and tropical like planet, it’s dominant life form is plant based and while there are creatures on this planet they are definitely not at the top of the food chain by any means. Some of the plants are even carnivorous. It’s dope. This planet has two moons and one sun and there is a pretty even ratio of water to land.

Nihill || Serkiis: this is a gas giant, it’s solar system has little to no life, this planet included, and so is ignored but the GAAP. But one of its moons- and many other planets and moons in this solar system- is used as a base for mercenaries, criminals, and the black market. The moon used for this is named Nihill, it’s the most renowned one of the dead bases and also the one where jack sells all the stuff he steals. There are various buildings, hotels, brothels, markets, and the like. These planets/moons are especially dangerous, but if you generally mind your own business and aren’t defenseless, you’ll be fine. Probably…

Attis: (the homeplanet of Tyler’s species)

This planet has a rotation cycle of 16 months (earth time) 13 of those months are spent in freezing cold weather while the other 3 are slightly warmer. The planet is filled with crystals and diamonds, it being the perfect environment for their creation. Due to them being so abundant, crystals are a major food source for many of the species native to this planet. There are also crystal like species that developed a crystal like exterior to better hide from predators. There are crystal forests above and below ground, one of the most magnificent sights in the galaxy. Throughout the colder months, there are extremely cold and dangerous blizzards, which could easily freeze a creature on the spot, due to this many inhabitants live underground. Attis has two moons and is the 6th planet from its sun.

Bellataine: (kathryn's home planet) this planet is extremely similar to earth, though their trees are 10 times taller on average, they have more carnivorous plants, and there is more of a yellow tint to its plants. It has 4 seasons, but only one big continent with bunches of rivers, lakes, and streams scattered throughout. Their night and day are also a lot longer lasting around 40 hours as a whole, 20 each. Many of the species live up in the trees due to the sheer amount and size of them.

The GAAP|| Galactic Assembly of Allied Planets

Basically it is the gathering of all the most powerful/ intelligent planets all coming together to create laws and the sort for all of space. Every planet has 2 representatives and there is no one leader, it’s kinda a majority rule kinda thing. Each planet has its own government and laws, but they have to adhere to the laws of space, so an example is that since androids have legal rights now, no one planet can have laws blatantly discriminating against them. There is also the GLE or the Galactic Law Enforcement, they only have jurisdiction in space though and not on individual planets. They are made up of any species apart of the GAAP and they are pretty regulated as well, most people call them enforcers. Each individual planet has their own law enforcement. There is also a galactic navy that is run but the GAAP, they have a specific school and training regimen for any species that would like to join, the only requirement is that you are a resident of a planet in the GAAP. This is in place for if one/ multiple planets are attacked by a planet not apart of the GAAP, or a rogue planet/ ship/ group. Their other job is to explore space and engage in various peace negotiations, investigating planets (science wise), and stuff. Basically Star Trek.

There are some planets that have no laws nor government and don’t fall under the jurisdiction of the space government and its laws. These planets are hella cool and are a great place for scavengers/ pirates/ and other criminals to hang out. Plus black market stuff, it’s where jack sells a lot of his stolen goods (Nihill specifically)

Laws and jail: there are two types of jails, on planet jails for crimes committed on one planet and the maximum security jail run by GAAP. If any jailable crime is committed on multiple planets, in space, or if it’s a cosmic crime the criminal will be sent to the GAAP prison. The GAAP prison is located on the outskirts of the galaxy, it is one of the biggest shuttles ever built and it orbits a White dwarf, using the bright star to power the shuttle. The petty crime prisoners and the dangerous prisons are kept apart for safety reasons. The planet jails are basically regular jails.

Some cosmic crimes include but aren’t limited to:

Mass genocide, destruction of a planet, and the destruction of any GAAP ship/ attack against the GAAP

Education:

Every planet and species has a different way of educating their youth, but most participate in it. It usually depends on the planets main source of income as well as weather it’s a mixed species planet or a planet where most the inhabitants are native. If it’s mixed, then they typically use the regulations used by the GAAP for their schools. Which is the type of school that Tyler and mark attended. It’s very career based and you choose what you’d like to focus on around 13, going from primary to secondary. They teach you the basics of history, mechanics, medicine, math, science, and language. Then in secondary school you focus on one thing, let’s say you want to be a pilot, you would learn everything you’d need to know to be a successful pilot and nothing more, unless you change your focus or opt to take a generalized focus. A generalized focus teaches you the basics for all the popular and needed jobs available and you can always chose to switch into a focus if one of those jobs catches your eye. There is only 8 years of school for them, 4 for primary or general and 4 in secondary or focus. There isn’t a set age to start, since different species have different lifespans and needs and only primary school is required.

History || major events || currently 3518

Multiplanet Wars [3250-3420]

Before the GAAP was created there were many battles and wars over which planets got which colonies and solar systems and planets. It was a first come first serve kinda deal but even that was shaky when any other alien race could pop in and try an take over a planet by force. These many battles resulted in some alien races even going extinct.

The great leaving (earth) [3314]

Earth was already in bad shape when humans started exploring into the further parts of space, but still many people lived there. Soon though, it became too much for the planet to sustain and earth had run out of many of the resources that had once been abundant. Due to this major resource crisis, almost all humans that could left the planet. The only ones who stayed where the people too poor to afford to move or people so rich that the resource shortage didn’t affect them in the least. These rich people would either develop a superiority complex (like the idea that living anywhere but earth was betraying the human race) or they’d leave cause earth is a shit whole that only over the top elitists would choose to live on.

First treaties [3280-3518]

The treaty of unification; the agreement for all willing, intelligent, and powerful planets to come together to form the GAAP after years of competition and wars.

The creation of the GAAP [3420]

The idea of the was created and pushed for by 5 of the most advanced planets. They wanted space to be safer and they wished for a future were all aliens worked together to make a better galaxy. Soon they had the majority of the intelligent planets on their side and they all came together to create this new, huge alliance.

The medical boom [3420-30]

After the GAAP was formed there was a significant boom in the improvement in the medical field. This was because many species from all the planets apart of the GAAP had come together to work for the GAAP and their combined knowledge on medicine as well as a willingness to cooperate to make space healthier gave way to new and advanced machinery and medicines.

Android revolution [3504]

Since the first official Android was made there were people who pushed for their rights as free thinking beings. They were seen as property, similar to robots, for the longest time. Then after years of protest and fighting for their rights, all this only providing more evidence of their place as a new intelligent species capable of learning, feeling, and thriving on their own without the aid of their creators.

[revol-lover]

Ok I need to rant. Majorly.

Maybe I’m crazy. If I am, please let me know. I am turning 24 this month. But ok I got married a little over a year ago. Prior to this I lived at home with my parents, I wasnt allowed to stay out late, they would wait up for me to come home. Wasnt allowed to go on any over night trip with my fiancé. The whole 9 yards of extreme portuguese parent control. 

I am now married and live literally a 2 minute drive away from my parents (because this is a really nice area and I like it not because I needed to be that close to them for any particular reason) and every weekend since I got married I faithfully visit them on Sundays and a few times had them over at my place instead for sunday lunch. (Not worth mentioning but I’ll mention anyway - we’re never actually “invited” over. We’re very rarely offered a meal when going over. Doesn't matter but just a detail.) This includes during my entire pregnancy, from the extreme tired and fatigue and nausea of the first trimester right up until two weeks ago seeing that I’m now in my third trimester and tired and feeling like you know I’d rather spend my weekend relaxing in between all the other things I have to do before baby gets here. its been hella BUSY.

In between visits with my parents they never call or text me. Never check on me pregnancy wise, etc. There are times even when I text my mom and she never answers me (and she is NOT phone illiterate. Also I can see when she reads texts). If I check in with them I get the “ok” responce to “how are you”. I gave up with that. I’m tired of the effort only being on me.

So like I said, its been two weeks since I’ve visited. I didnt give an explanation the first week. No one checked in on me. I mean for fucks sake I couldve been in the hospital or something but they literally never get in touch with me. Then last weekend we had friends of my husbands from out of town (something that had been pre-planned for months) here to visit so we spent a day with them and I was on my feet all day, not to mention socially drained and I needed to relax the other day (theres only 2days in a weekend!) prior to that weekend I texted my mom to see how she was and tell her I probably wouldn't be by because of those plans but said I’d come by THIS weekend (aka tomorrow).

Now its friday and honestly. I don't want to go. Again. No one checks in if I don't. And if I’m silent for weeks, they return it with silence. They don't ever check in on me. I mean is it normal for parents to not care to this degree? Especially when I had zero freedom prior to moving out. They were never emotionally close or supportive to me but there was always that control factor but now I’m moved out, Ive shown and proved plenty that I care about having a relationship with them and they don't return it in their actions at all.

Now maybe if I had NO other priorities besides making that ONE weekly visit, I’d care less and be able to make it work. But that just isn't the case. Kevin has a 90 year old grandmother who we are both very close to and visit once a week during the week, almost every week. Someone who actually does notice our absence. Someone who appreciates our visit. Then, Kevin’s dad is currently in the hospital recovering from a double organ transplant. He has been in various hospitals and medical centers since November. We also visit him (and Kevins mom who is at the hospital with him most of the time) once a week. There was a time during this period that we didnt even know that he would survive. He was on a transplant list for nearly 2 years. He was extremely close to death, if he didnt get those organs when he did he would not be alive right now. Before he got so sick, we also , were visiting Kevins parents every weekend at their house. They always asked us if we were coming by, always made a meal for us all to share. Kevin’s mom, who has been going through literally the craziest, busiest time of her life, going to work and going to the hospital, every single day for the past 6+ months, one of the hospital stays being 1 1/2 hours away from home and she went faithfully every day, THIS WOMAN, has texted my husband every day to see how we are doing, and specifically always asks how I am doing, how my appointments are going, how I’m feeling. Its a tiny consideration that goes such a long way. Something you kind of expect from a mom???? But my own parents don't do.

So its like. Am i crazy to be sick and tired of visiting every weekend ? To go to their house to sit in a room with one of them staring at the tv and the other their cell phone. Occasionally having a conversation with us, but otherwise it being quiet and slightly uncomfortable and god forbid me, feeling like a bit of a waste of time. Especially when they never check in on me/us. They never invite us over. They never ask to come over. But in contrast to that my mom is so overbearing about the baby stuff. She is handling my baby shower and knows that I don't like overly frilly pink things and she's making sure that it is exactly all about that, because thats what SHE likes. And buying the baby a thousand pairs of shoes even though I already told her I won't be putting shoes on her until she can walk. I mean. If you've been following me you know my mom has her own book of issues and our relationship is very complicated, bt she has a shopping addiction and is very materialistic and thats just not me. I don't live my life that way. We really clash there and I don't want my daughter to have to deal with what I dealt with with my mom, which is conditional love. 

Ive totally gone off track here. I hate even writing these things and publishing them because I’m sure theres that one person who has one thing to say at least about oh at least you have parents or something which, yes I get that. But any other relationship in life this lack of effort would not be acceptable at all. I don't chase people who don't ever show that they care to keep in touch. I feel like my parents take for granted how dedicated I have been to keeping in touch. Have I even mentioned that I through a mothers day brunch for my mom mother in law sister in law and grandmother in law that my mom knew about for weeks and chose to come late to even though she's never late to anything and knows people being late drives me a little nuts (like her. she hates it too so I don't get why she did that to me. It wasnt even an accident. my dad went to church. she was home. he was gonna be late. she couldve came and he couldve come late. she chose to wait for him. i live 2 minutes away.. she couldve just came). I had spent the whole morning, in my third trimester of pregnancy mind you, on my feet with my husband cooking a really nice big brunch for everyone and she came late. Made my other guests feel awkward eating the food HOT as intended because she hadn't shown yet. She didnt even deserve me caring enough to do that. This woman has emotionally abused me my entire life, and physically to a degree when I was a child. But still I have this stupid good daughter complex that I feel guilt whenever I don't show appreciation even tho I’ve never been appreciate.

wow I’m sorry. I just needed to get this all out.

I’m having a baby in less then 2 months. She is going to be my #1 priority in life. I don't think people realize the shit I do. The shit I’ve been doing. It isn't going to continue. I need to be present for my child. I need to be what I didnt have. I need to give her the love and time and nurturing she needs. I need to be the least broken version of myself for her. I’m starting to feel less guilty about not putting effort toward my relationship with my parents. I don't have it in me. I can't do it all. They might not understand putting forth and expressing healthy effort to their children, but I know how important it is. My daughter will have that. Even if it comes at the expense of them barely seeing me. Its their choice in the end. They could pick up the phone too. I’m sick of being the only one.
