PLEASE NOTICE 
cw: noncanon universe, college au, mentions of alcohol and drinking, mutual pining, loosely based on that one tik tok audio of stan and wendy from south park LOL
Tumblr media
“But if you come, we could—” 
Megumi cuts Yuuji off before the words can actually leave his mouth, “No.”
You walk through the door just in time to see Nobara’s face turn from a smirk to a scowl at his unexpected interruption. 
“You didn’t even let him finish!” she whines through an irritated pout. 
Megumi is quick to shrug proudly, “Don’t have to. The answer is still no.”
With a quick scan of the room, there’s a lot of different feelings dancing in the cramped space of your dorm. Megumi sits with his back against the couch, blatantly annoyed with whatever question was in the process of being asked. Yuuji sits adjacent to him on his bean bag, arms resting on his knees and persistence eager in his eyes. Nobara stands behind Yuuji, hands on her hips and her face puckered into a sour frown.
With caution, you decide to tread lightly. “...What are we talking about?”
Yuuji’s head whips in your direction, desperate for some encouragement in whatever he’s trying to persuade Megumi of.
“We’re trying to convince The Grim Reaper here to come out with us tonight,” he uses a nod to gesture to where Megumi slumps on his phone, frown covered by the collar of his hoodie.  
Nobara sighs obnoxiously before explaining, “The bartender at that place on the corner has a weird thing for him, which means free drinks on Megumi tonight.”  
You notice Megumi’s eyebrows instantly furrow at her blunt conclusion. 
“She’s some girl from my politics lecture,” his response is muffled, dismissive, through his sweatshirt, “I want nothing to do with her.”
Nobara scurries over to where Megumi wishes the couch could swallow him whole. “But she doesn’t have to know that,” her tone is airy with faux potential.  
Yuuji lets out a dry snort at her claim, “Some feminist you are.”
A smack is heard, and you don’t need to be looking to know its from Nobara’s hand meeting the back of Yuuji’s head. 
“Hey! I love women,” her hands wave in dramatic clarification, “but if Megumi playing dirty gets me a few free tequila sodas, then I’m more than fine enabling this one situation.”
You make yourself comfortable on the opposite end of the couch Megumi sits on. You don’t miss how his eyes quickly flicker over to where he feels the cushion bend beneath your weight. 
You let your sock-clad foot poke at his thigh, and he’s quick to turn his attention to you. 
“Even if you come and don’t smuggle us free drinks, I still think it’ll be fun,” you shoot him a warm smile. The simple action makes his stomach flip in on itself and his palms sweat with a feeling he can only describe as genuine. 
But what follows? Not so much.
“So fun,” Yuuji chimes in, clearly trying to further persuade Megumi into tagging along with them tonight. “Like, the most fun four best friends could ever have.” 
Megumi’s eyes roll when he scoffs, “My definition of fun isn’t watching you get wasted and being your babysitter for the night.”
Yuuji howls behind a boyish grin. 
“You could get drunk, too,” he teases in an airy giggle, “then everybody wins.”
Megumi’s nose crinkles as he thinks about drinking tonight, “You know I’m not big on drinking.”
“One wouldn’t hurt,” Nobara chimes in, “might even get that stick out of your ass.”
The two choose to ignore her smart remark. Yuuji doesn’t take his eyes off Megumi when he continues to push, “Just for a little bit?”
The huff from Megumi’s chest is instant, “I said no.”
Nobara jumps in again, “I’ll pay for the Uber, out of the kindness of my heart—”
Yuuji suddenly shakes your shoulder with a rough and excited hand. 
“Wait—you know that one guy, right?” he beams. 
Your head turns at his sudden touch, “What guy?”
“The one on the lacrosse team,” he eagerly reminds you, “who was flirting with you all night last weekend.”
“Oh yeah,” Nobara points your way as she remembers, “that was painful to watch.” 
You cringe at the memory—a guy from your campus whom you’d met a few weeks ago. He was nice enough, decently looking, and friendly with the rest of his team—but you weren't interested in him like he was in you. His actions were a bit too handsy and his humor was a tad too crude for your taste. Definitely not worth the two free vodka cranberries he bought you. 
You choose to shrug at the insinuation, “Yeah, I mean, I guess I’m friendly with him—”
“Perfect!” Nobara jumps up with excitement. “He’ll definitely be there tonight. You bat your pretty little eyelashes a bit, get a few extra beers for us. And if he tries anything funny, we bash his teeth in.” 
She claps her hands together at the simplicity of her plan, and Megumi absolutely hates the turn of events that's happened in the last thirty seconds. Sure, he didn't want to go and entertain some poor girl who has a crush on him for a few drinks—but now, with the alternative being you doing the same thing, he’s suddenly sick to his stomach.
He nearly lunges out of his seat when he tosses his phone down beside him. “Are you guys really this desperate for a few free drinks?” His tone is a bit too irritated for the light conversation at hand. 
Nobara and Yuuji spare one another a quick glance, before tucking their smiles into their cheeks and doing their best to nod thoughtfully at their aggravated friend. 
“So, you comin’? Or what?”
“Please, Megumi? My favorite stick in the mud?”
Megumi’s head shakes, and he goes to open his mouth to decline rather disrespectfully when your voice cuts him off. 
“Megumi,” you call softly, and he’s immediately burning a bright red, both inside and out. 
Your eyes are glowing with a hopeful shimmer, one that he can read without any words needed. “I won’t wanna go if you don’t come,” you gently whine, “please?”
Yuuji eagerly hits Nobara’s shoulder a few times as he does his best to whisper, “He’s slipping, he’s slipping.” Nobara grins like a cat, and you swear you can read her lips saying “man down.”
The two of them don’t even try to hide their snickers, but luckily for the two, Megumi isn't focused on them. He’s focused on you—your delicate plea music to his ears as he’s immediately softening and rethinking his whole prior mindset.  All because you so much as smiled and said please. 
With the look you're giving him right now, Megumi could never say no to you. 
“Fine,” he keeps it short and sweet, “but only for a few hours.” 
Nobara slaps his shoulder in victory as she skips towards her room to go get ready, “That’s more than enough time for me, buddy.” 
“You’re still paying for the Uber,” Megumi calls after her down the hallway, and before she descends out of sight, she turns around and salutes him a confirmation. 
With a few giggles, Yuuji isn't far behind her as he too eventually disappears, leaving just you and Megumi on the couch together. 
When he turns to face you, he’s flustered to find that you’re already admiring him. You send him a soft smile, one he knows is saying thank you, so he sends one back and prays to whoever might be listening that you know it's saying far more than you're welcome.

To add to my Roach bugging the ever loving hell outta Gaz chaos--
I don't really like South Park but Ive heard this audio on TikTok and since there's the usage of Kyle I just had to.
Roach steering away every starry eyed private who would try and ask him about Gaz. Remorsefully he would explain to them that unfortunately for them, he and Kyle were in a relationship.
To step the fuck off his terf.
That was his fucking man.
Resulting in Gaz being utterly confused that these ladies are so curt with him lately. Polite all the same, but they hurried away from him like they had some place to be. Like they meant business. It didn't feel right.
Cue Roach eventually cracking after who knows maybe weeks or possibly months? of convincing Gaz he's just maybe giving off an 'off vibe'. --whatever the hell that means, Gaz would sigh while rolling his eyes. The smartass bug was entirely no help sometimes.
"You told them we're together?" Absolutely gobsmacked and jaw on the floor, Gaz was nearly falling forward off his seat. He wanted to strangle the smugly smirking boy across from him. "Actual women were interested in me....and you..."
Tumblr media
"I think you broke him." Price chortled as he stumbled across the scene, simply trying to grab something however upon seeing Gaz in such a state decided to investigate with a probing Dad remark.
"I'm sure if you told them I was just being a shithead they-"
"Be so fucking for real right now," Gaz silenced the all too many game playing sergeant. "You honestly think any of them are still going to be interested after your stunt!?" it was almost like Roach wanted him to die alone. Irritated and annoyed and alone.
"I mean if they're cool they will." Roach kicked Gaz's boot with his own, grimacing at his heavily frowning friend. "Homophobia isn't sexy. Bi boys are." When he was met with more silence, he turned to the all too quiet Captain. "right Sir."
"Love don't hate--appreciate." Raising a fist to shake slightly at Roach, he'd take it with how meaningfully Price was doing it.
"Why would you do this to me?" Continuing his lamenting and bitching, the incessant laughter which followed it from Roach answered the question wordlessly.
Roach was always up to some sort of heinous shit for the hell of it. Sometimes meaning he didn't think about the post repercussions and what that might mean. All in all he was attempting it all out of just the pure hell of it.
The shenanigans. The stories. The gags. The goofs.
Whether the rest of the team was about it or not.
He truly embodied younger brother energy. Roach would walk into a room, mess with each of them ever so slightly yet infuriatingly before boogeying on out. He would shadow box at their limbs, steal bits of their foods and plop himself on their laps. A true menace to all. Especially if they were a macho hypermasculine little baby.
Roach had zero problems treating men the exact same way they treated women, primarily one of the main reasons he was written up so often. 'bein fucking weird' was usually how it was phrased, however they wanted to call it, it made him smile wide each and every time. The other times being his practical gags.
"Listen, I didn't say it to all of'em."
"Word spreads, they all talk ya know."
"And do you think the smart ones worth sleeping with listen to the Barrack Bunnies I was loping stories to or?"
"I think the Lad might've just done you a favour?" Price, albeit confused a hell, was impressed. He just thought his sgt was about the tom foolery, he hadn't considered there may be a underlying positive.
"Yeah you can call it whatever you want to," Gaz wasn't buying the excuses, glaring over his shoulder as he left the room he narrowed his eyes on the bouncing bug of a boy. Roach was always just a little too pleased with himself. "I know when someone does me a dirty." and with that he departed from the room, mind swimming with ways to inconvenience him.

Studying languages tip #IDK
Reminder for my fellow language learners (not just Italian learners): do not just "listen" to your target language (and I mean also with subtitles), repeat out loud. Repeating out loud what you hear can help you fix in your mind the actual sound of a word and remember it better, and also recognize it whenever you hear it from natives. Do not just rely on how you remember the sound of a word, at least not in the first days you're learning it.
So for example:
1- search for easy youtube videos in which there are only words lists pronunciations. Kids videos generally will do. (Reminder if you're studying Italian I have posted a few audios in the "#audio audios" section and you can listen to them or ask me to make some more, talk slower or whatever). You can also search for kids' songs if you want, and break them down to easy words.
2- choose a song you like or by your fav artist (in your target language). Find the lyrics and follow your artist voice for a few times, then start singing along with them. It doesn't matter if some words will sound weird or be uncorrect or you'll end up saying "blabluojaos" instead of "macchina" even if you know how to pronounce "macchina": you're singing, following the rhythm and thinking about the pronunciation of the next words as well: it's a lot. Just take your time and remember, you can do it more than once and for a few days too. [I learned English and many vocabs more cause while I was having lessons in school I kept listening to English songs: for example I ended up learning by heart Linkin Park's songs and nowadays I can still sing Mike Shinoda's rap parts. So if I made it, you can too].
3- if you're watching movies, or anything you can stop and replay, try to stop and repeat especially the words you find "uncommon" or that you have never heard of. Listen to the actor/person saying them a couple of times, then repeat them a couple of times. You can also repeat the whole sentence you heard from the actor/person, note your word down and search for its meaning if it's not clear (it may also have more than one), and maybe try to use it in different sentences (make them up). [again, if you're studying Italian and need help with meanings, transcriptions -maybe you're not sure you heard a word correctly-, how to use a word... feel free to drop an ask or search in the vocabularies you can find on @sayitalianohome ]
Just beware: once more, especially if you're studying Italian, it may happen that the singer of your choice or actor/person speaking, may not use a "standard" Italian but a regional form or abbreviations or something like that. So keep in mind that you MAY learn words in a specific sound or with a specific use that MAY not always be the one we know/use in common Italian (but you can check it anyway). Back to my personal example: I have learned not just English but also Spanish by listening to songs. My "mistake" was that I kept listening to American English and South American Spanish: this is why when I listen to British/UK English and (Spain) Spanish, I still have some troubles in understanding some words (depends on the accent of the speaker tbh). But ofc you can ask for people to repeat, there ain't nothing bad in it. (And yeah, when I speak English I tend to use an American accent and same for my South American Spanish, cause those are the accents I am more used to and I learned better).
Anyway, don't be scared, sing, yell, talk out loud. It's gonna make a huge difference in your learning life.

My Encounter With the Jersey Devil
Every Spring, since 1984, the New Jersey Audubon Society hosts the World Series of Birding (WSB). Much in the vein of fundraising walks and runs, the WSB is a marathon aimed at raising money and awareness towards a specific cause (bird and nature conservation). Competitors in the WSB are tasked with identifying, by either sight or sound, as many bird species as they can in a 24 hour period. While there are multiple ways to compete, the top level teams, which often include career birders, collect pledges through their own dedicated website, travel all over New Jersey in that 24 hour period to identify birds, and must be present at the finish line at Cape May Point State Park at midnight at the end of the competition.
Around 2005, a friend of mine (we’ll call her Robin) was enthusiastically getting me into birding and proposed we compete in the WSB. She had another birding friend from the West Coast (we’ll call him Jay) who wanted to come visit and the WSB was the perfect excuse. We competed under the second level, which allowed for a more casual competition, essentially treating the weekend like an excuse for an intensive birding holiday, without the fundraising and finish line requirements. This was at least in part because of my own inexperience; but I was excited and eager and, equally important, had a car and the ability and willingness to chauffeur the three of us around Cape May County for the weekend.
Robin and Jay spent the days leading up to the WSB mapping and scheduling out the birding spots we would hit, while I spent them studying up on my visual and audio ID’s (a harder task back before there were easily accessed videos and archives of bird call recordings online). The morning of the competition, we piled into my little Pontiac Sunfire and headed south.
The original plan was that we’d arrive at our hotel in Cape May in the afternoon, eat, get some sleep, and then head out to hit our first spot at midnight. Unfortunately, late in the night, Robin wasn’t feeling well. So we pivoted. Robin would stay at the hotel to get some more rest while Jay and I headed out to the first spot. After we were done, we would swing back by the hotel and, hopefully, Robin would feel better and we’d all pile back into the car to continue competing.
Since the start of the WSB is at midnight, the first spot on our list was a prime location to identify the nocturnal birds on the species list — owls, of course, but also water birds called rails. This brought us to one of the most rural spots we visited that weekend, the kind of rural spot that most people don’t believe exists in New Jersey. Jake’s Landing is an earthen boat launch in the middle of a wetlands creek, that’s accessed via Jake’s Landing Road, a 1.3 mile long dirt road that winds through a white pine forest. While you can see the light pollution from the surrounding towns in the distance, the area immediately around the landing is so dark the only light is from the moon and the vast expanse of stars.
ID-ing rails required parking at the Landing and listening for the birds out in the marshy waters. But since it’s such a well-known spot for good birding, there were always other birders standing out there with you, also desperately listening for the rails. The owls, however, weren’t out in the wetlands, they were back in the woods. Which meant that to ID owls, we had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the car, turn off the headlights, get out of the car, and stand there in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night in almost complete darkness to listen for owls. Now, I am a child of suburbia. I wasn’t used to that kind of darkness. I wasn’t used to just being outside in the middle of the night without a car between me and whatever might be lurking beyond what my eyes could see. I definitely wasn’t used to spending time that deep in the woods, and certainly not at night. Not to mention that just a few years before this, in 1999, The Blair Witch Project had come out to the kind of hype we hadn’t seen for a horror movie since Nightmare on Elm Street and wouldn’t see again until Saw. A found footage film about three college-aged film-makers camping out in the woods to investigate the local legend of the Blair Witch, only to become victims of the Witch themselves, I loved The Blair Witch Project, it’s probably my favorite horror movie to this day. But part of that love came from the fact that it scared the crap out of me.
I was not looking forward to owl hunting.
Jay and I left Robin at the hotel to sleep and drove out to Jake’s Landing. We stood around listening to rails for a while; I don’t remember if we ID’d any on that particular stop, but we did close out the weekend with at least one rail ID’d on our list. Then we drove back into the woods, pulled over, turned off the car, and got out … 
And everything was fine. Really. I mean, we didn’t hear any owls, which sucked (spoilers: I wouldn’t hear an owl in real life for another 5 years or so). But I actually wasn’t bothered at all. It was dark and quiet and I couldn’t see anything beyond about three or four rows of trees beyond the road, but it wasn’t even a little bit freaky. After a while we both agreed that we weren’t hearing anything and it was about time for us to go pick up Robin, so we got back in the car and headed back to civilization.
We spent the rest of the day traveling all over Cape May County, hiking around bird sanctuaries and nature preserves, tromping over farms, strolling along boardwalks. I got to see red-tailed hawks and bald eagles and egrets and a purple gallinule that had made its way up to New Jersey from Florida for some reason. We stopped for snacks and meals at the whatever the nearest Wawa was, caught naps in parking lots, saw other birders ranging from casual twenty-somethings like us, little kids on school field trips, and well-aged professionals with camera equipment that probably cost more than my used Sunfire.
Then, as night fell again and the diurnal birds tucked into their nests for the night, there was only one thing left to do: head back to Jake’s Landing to try again for the rails and owls. I wasn’t worried this time, since I’d gotten through the first time without getting even a tiny bit spooked. We drove out to the Landing, and listened for a while; again, I don’t remember which trip it was, but we were only able to ID one rail all weekend. Then we headed back into the woods, pulled over, turned off the car, and got out to listen.
But something was different. It was still just as dark, just as quiet, just as isolated, though this time we had another person in our group. By all rights, I shouldn’t have had any trouble standing out there and listening for owls. But the second I closed my car door, I could feel it. Something was wrong. I still couldn’t see anything past the third or fourth line of trees past the road, but it felt like I was being watched — we were being watched. The longer we stood there, the more time my imagination had to run wild, the more certain I became that whoever — or whatever — was out there, intended us harm. We weren’t welcome. I couldn’t have focused on owls even if there’d been any to focus on, I could only think about the growing feeling in my gut that someone or something was out there in the dark seething at us, watching and waiting.
Finally, just as the feeling was becoming too much, just as I was about to suggest we go, Robin spoke up. We weren’t hearing anything, it was getting close to midnight anyway, we should just head back to the hotel and get some sleep before we had to drive home in the morning. I don’t think I even responded, I just remember snapping open my door, practically throwing myself inside, and turning the car and headlights back on before Jay and Robin had even sat down, so eager was I to be in the relative safety of my little Sunfire. We finished the drive along Jake’s Landing Road in silence. I was perhaps driving a little more quickly than I should have along a dirt road a little too narrow for two cars to comfortably pass, but I was beyond ready to get back to the main road with its asphalt and street lights and unblocked views of the surrounding area.
After having the uneasiness of the darkness washed away by blessed halogen, I finally told Robin that if she hadn’t said something when she had, I’d been ready pull the plug over how freaked out I’d felt. Which was when she admitted that the reason she’d spoken up was because she’d also felt freaked out and couldn’t stand out there any longer. We spent the drive back to the hotel comparing notes, Robin expressing a similar feeling about being watched, and me explaining how I hadn’t experienced anything close to that on my earlier owl hunt with Jay.
Robin and I had both been raised in New Jersey, had grown up surrounded by stories of the Jersey Devil, and knew when we set out on this trip that we’d be spending much of the weekend hiking around areas within the Pine Barrens, the alleged territory of the Jersey Devil.
So what other conclusion could we come to than that we’d just had an encounter with the Jersey Devil itself?

W.I.P Wednesday
Posted with ten minutes to spare! I was tagged by @adelaidedrubman
This is part of my unfinished first (very) rough draft of my FC5/TMA crossover fic in which Skunk, Judas, Mary and Daisy all have statements sent into the institute. I'm still trying to get a hang of Judas's voice and I'll admit this is mostly an infodump I will need to clean up a lot in coming revisions. Also tumblr is going to eat my formatting which is important to the aesthetic of the fic :(
STATEMENT #0160402
[CLICK] [PAGES SHUFFLE, SOME FALL ON THE FLOOR AND THE ARCHIVIST GROANS AS HE BENDS TO PICK THEM UP]
ARCHIVIST Paper files��not that I don’t appreciate physical media however my office is already a catastrophe. This could have easily been a digital file. [SIGH] ARCHIVIST Alright let’s see. ARCHIVIST Statement of Judas King, regarding a specific interaction with Gulf War veteran Jacob Seed in Whitetail State Park in Montana. Original statement given April 2nd, 2016. Audio Recording by Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London. 
ARCHIVIST(STATEMENT) I don’t know why I'm writing to you. I mean, I don’t think I believe in these things and I found this place online when searching for similar experiences. London is very far away so I can’t imagine you guys care about fucked up murderers in rural Montana. I might as well just say it, maybe typing it out will help me to rationalize or comprehend it.  I have lived in these mountains my entire life. Seventeen years spent surrounded by their ancient, solid presence. They’re my most important constant which, I think, is why this experience has shaken me so much. I haven’t felt comfortable here since…Well since it happened. It’s not like strange things don’t happen. Strange things are bound to happen in secluded places far from civilization. Mostly our strange goings ons are easily explainable. Things like teenagers leaving carvings in trees or making weird sounds at night, wasting deer syndrome causing deer to hold their heads at weird angles and get far too skinny or people simply being too alone for too long and their minds creating faces where there hadn’t been faces before. My point is that it’s not a rare occurrence for people to claim the paranormal in the park. This was not an easily explainable mishap.  For a little bit of backstory I am from Hope County Montana. We are a very rural community in south western Montana. The most interesting thing to have happened here in years is when Grace Armstrong won a medal for sharpshooting in 2004. So when three men from Atlanta, Georgia rolled into town it was pretty noteworthy. The Seed Brothers. They brought a lot of chaos with them. Joseph, the middle one, came claiming to be a preacher but he’s not like any preacher I’ve ever seen. Then there was John who I think was the youngest. He was some big shot lawyer back in Georgia. He started buying out our farms and logging companies, slapping the name of their church on everything. Project at Eden's Gate. They call Joseph ‘The Father’ and think he’s some messiah trying to save them from the end of the world or something. It was all weird from the beginning but nothing violent. Not until a few months ago. Their oldest brother’s name is Jacob. He was a soldier in The Gulf War, army I think. You can see it too. I’d always thought that when people talk about soldiers having a ‘far away look’ that they were being…I don’t know, dramatic? Yet when I look at Jacob Seed I can tell he’s still in the war. He’s still reliving whatever gave him those gnarly scars that seem to over take the whole right side of his face. That is about where my sympathies end.

kyle! + robot! reader who's like jenny [my life as a teenage robot]!!
Tumblr media
woahhh this concept is so cool, love this request. also my life as a teenage robot was one of my fav shows growing up sad nickelodeon kinda fell off now.
also the more i write for kyle the more i fall in love with him like 😭 im not complaining tho
cws: none! fluff References to season 19 of south park Aged up characters!
Tumblr media
Was skeptical on becoming friends/near you at first I can't lie.
After the whole thing with Leslie when he was younger, he's probably pretty skeptical about robots/non human yet humanoid beings in general
However he thinks you're cool, I mean you have no malicious intent and you're well, a robot, so he's gonna stand afar for a while and just keep his distance.
It isn't until he sees you actively protecting/defending someone that he realizes..damn you're a good person.. robot?.
At this point he'll actively seek you out now, forgo his past skepticism he wants to get to you.
Call it the geeky nerd superhero fan in him, but to actually save and protect people while being a humanoid robot is like.. freaky cool to him.
Thinks its cute how you're trying to fit in with trying to be a "human" teenager as a robot
Considering how kind and sweet (and somewhat naive) you are, Cartman always tries to get you to join in on his schemes (some people never change), however Kyle always prevents you from going along with it.
He finds himself falling in love with you (and cursing himself a bit because "God damn it Kyle you did it again, you fell in love with another robot") because of these traits (you protecting people, being kind, fun, etc)
This won't stop him from following his feelings though, at most he might just find it awkward on how to confess to you, but if you confess first then he's all for it. (Might save him from a heart attack of trying to figure out how to ask you out).
When you two actually start dating, Cartman will relentlessly make fun of you both, it's just how he is unfortunately.
Kyle kicks his ass though. He can handle Cartman making fun of him, but making fun of you is a line he wouldn't ever let anyone cross.
Stan's chill with it, yk that tiktok audio thats just "woh hoh.. rock on freaky bro" yeah that sums up Stan to you guys.
Most of South Park is accepting of you being a robot anyways, to them it's like another day. They'd all met Leslie before (and some crazier things too), so comments on making fun of you is pretty rare for you to experience.
Instead you get a lot of people trying to use you for whatever they need; and Kyle often has to remind you to just sit down and take a break once in a while, that South Park won't explode if you take... a.. breather..?
You do help protect their town of course (For shits and giggles I always like to imagine the superheros are still going strong), Mysterion is forever grateful to you.
Speaking of superheros, you and Kyle are a super hero duo. Sure you may do most of the work, but he's there to hype you up!!
Like the stendy or creek dialogue in TFBW, he's cheering you on as you fight
"Woah! Good hit babe!"
"Kick their ass baby!"
Among other things

Croagh Patrick and Connemara, Co. Galway
Croagh Patrick is the holiest spot in Ireland and one of the loveliest. St. Patrick retreated to this pyramid-shaped mountain for 40 days and nights in A.D. 41 and from here drove the snakes out of Ireland – not to mention moles, toads, and about a dozen other species of animals curiously absent in Ireland. There's a famous chapel on the windswept summit, site of a vast annual pilgrimage, but the long, long trudge to the top is rewarded (in good weather at least) with fabulous views over Clew Bay, speckled with islands, and across great stretches of that most beautiful and neglected corner of Ireland – Connemara.
This area of Galway is so unremittingly lovely that you can scarcely put a foot wrong; whatever you follow will almost certainly reveal panoramas of unspoiled grandeur. It's a rough landscape of dark mountains and broad bogs, where Gaelic-speaking farmers must literally scratch living from soil too rocky for ploughs.
Croagh Patrick is easily reached from Westport, a well-preserved Georgian town with a notable mansion, Westport House, and good transportation links to the rest of the country. Even if you don't stop at the holy mountain, the road from Westport along Clew Bay and onward to Clifden is magnificent – the Irish writer James Plunkett has called it “surely the most beautiful in Ireland.” This route takes you through the pleasant town of Louisburgh and then asked the incredible Kylemore Castle, a vast and elaborate Victorian gray-stone mansion that was once one of the grandest houses in Ireland (even though one bathroom served every thirty guests), but since 1920 has been a convent, though still open to the public. Again, even if you don't stop, it's worth the trip just to glimpse this remarkable, sprawling mansion in its incomparable setting. Beyond Kylemore is the Connemara National Park, set in 4,000 acres of countryside under the shadow of a range of mountains known as Twelve Bens. The park’s visitors’ centre is housed in converted farm buildings with exhibitions of traditional Irish furnishings and, more important, an audio-visual presentation explaining the unique history and geography of the area. Very useful for those who regard travel as a learning experience.
From Clifden, an agreeable coastal town about five miles to the south, the road runs on for about 50 miles to Galway, where train and bus connections link up with the rest of the country. But if time allows, consider continuing along the winding coastal roads, which take you through some lovely little resorts of whitewashed cottages like Kielkieran and Roundstone. All along this coast account are countless rocky coves and deserted beaches of fine white sand, with views across to the Aran Islands and a commanding Cliffs of Moher  beyond. It's a more circuitous means of reaching Galway and could add at least a day to your travelling time – perhaps more if you're hitching – but it's also one of the best detours in Ireland.

‘DISCLOSURE’ – We Are In 4D Now!!! Shocking ZETA/DRACO Reality Revealed
“NEW MEXICO: Dulce; Highly classified underground joint operational facilities. Extra-terrestrial technology is used there and it is residence to the Ciakahrr command, Naga officers, the Do-Hu work force and an outpost for the Orion/Alliance involving mainly Maytrei and Kiily-Tokurit. And whatever humans/hybrids/ puppets might be under their control. All collaborate together with the Terran CIA, in the lower levels of subterranean. structures that stretch to about 90 or 100 miles to the south-east. The Reptilian working caste is the one doing the ugly job in the low levels of these undergrounds, abusing and violating all the human rights on abducted Ter-rans. We are talking here about an evil alliance of the Reptilians fromthe Ciakahrr and Orion empires, with the US national security agencies and corporations, darkcults and even some social celebrities used as their human puppets in order to dominate the world at their liking. Dulce Base is more technically known as a Biogenetic Laboratory working on human control technique, cloning, cognitive research and advanced mind control, ani-mal/human crossbreeding, implantation of visual and audio chips, and children experimentation. Dulce is the second largest Ciakahrr and Grey underground base but the central core for all other ones. The largest facility is located in Taos, not very far from there.
Built on twelve levels with its own roads and districts, the first three levels are for Terran offices and labs, Terran and extra-Terran vehicles parking, technical and functional maintenance. The fourth level is where things get rough; there, are conducted experiments on human soul; dream manipulation, hypnosis and telepathy. All aspects of mind control planning are done here as well. On the fifth level is the extra-Terran housing where abducted Terrans are stored for food. In vast tanks, in a bio support gel and constantly stirred by roboticarms, are preserved human bedy parts: On this same level, thousands of cagesare piled in lines and rows, containing Terran population of all ages and genders) waiting to be eaten. The sixth level…is called”thenightmare room”. It contains the genetic laboratories and here, the experiments of crossing humans and animals are carried out. The seventh level is the cryogenic storage of thousands and thousands of Terran adults and children and as far as we godown… we sink into the Shadow.
Hierarchy of the occupants Invader races on Terra have interrelated agreements between them, as well as with the U.S. government and their security. Draconi dal summit of the military industri ial complex controlling all information related to alien presence. They control human elites, media and corporations, insti-tutions and financial systems, stimulate wars, scarcity, fear and insecurity, encouraging corruption, ethnic and religious ferocity, terrorism, drug trade and organized crime. There isa strict hierarchy involving the Draco-Rep- tilians and other extraterrestrial races involved in the invasion of Terra. Reptilians from Thuban, the Ciakahrr and Nagai (or ‘Dracos’), are in command of the Earth based Reptilians. These are in turn in command of the Maytrei (Tall Greys) and Mantis (Insectoids), who command the Do-Hu Zetai or the enslaved faction of Solipsi Rai and their related cloned and biosynthetic technicians.
Underground nightmares and the rising storm
‘The American government made alliance with a separatist faction of Telosii, colony from Alpha Centauri part of the Agarthan kingdoms. These two allied were later involved in secret treaties with the Do-Hu from Zeta Reticuli, who approached them with their usual, and systematic, moaning stories of being a fading race begging access to Terran genetic materials to upgrade their decaying genes. The deal was to conduct few abductions of Terrans, just enough to secure their genome, in exchange of technology which revealed to be, at the end, very disappoint-ing. Well, the American government, who chose to fall into the trap, harshly learned that Do-Hu and Draconian Reptilians work together and had used their cunning treaties with Terran and Telosi governments to take pos-session of the military bases and the Telosi sub-colonies. This joint method of manipulation using the Do-Hu for easy conquest is so well known; it has been used by the Ciakahrr Empire to infiltrate many worlds. Always, they are able to find naive indigenous allies to sell out their own people, in exchange of false promises. Once treaties are signed, and the local leaders of the invaded planet agree on the terms, the invaders have all rights regarding to the eyes of the Galactic Federation of Worlds. They systematically proceed like this, and it works wonders because they always manage to find that sparkle of greed and personal profit in targeted indigenous leaders on the world to conquer. In 1954, the Do-Hu contacted Terran leaders to operate their age-old trick, so the Galactic Federation of Worlds decided to exceptionally break the Prime Directive, making contact to warn the Terran leaders not to make the greatest mistake ever in their History. Unfortunately, it occurred shortly afterwards that the Terran leaders signed an agreement with the Do-Hu. The only thing we had to offer was help with spiritual evolution, eradication of all weaponry and assistance federating in one peaceful structure. Of course, this wasn’t in the liking and personal agendas of the Terran leaders. The Ciakahrr Empire knew very well what they were doing by sending the Do-Hu to the US president at the time; there was nothing more desirable for the US government than gaining superior weaponry technology in a period when a cold war was going on with their greatest economic archenemy: Russia, So our offer to help disarm and settle peace went like sliding on a sleek surface…
So this went on for decades, worsening….The list of a couple hundred Terran people to abduct, mostly prisoners and mentally-ill subjects, were overpassed at light-speed and rapidly, the number of abduction reached thou-sands to millions in a short time. The Ciakahrr Empire stepped in as soon as the treaty was signed and shortly afterwards, the Orion Empire and the Corporate of Altair invited themselves to the feast. Independent groups like for instance Kiily-Tokurit and Maytrei smelled the opportunity and quite rapidly, a very complex web of treaties and agreements were established. This is only talking about the non-Terran species. On (and under) the ground, secret alliances were also made with the military-economic-complex and dark Terran cults preying on fear, pain and blood sacrifices. All was set up to give birth to the most horrible, multi-tentacular beast: the Cabal. For decades, Terrans were abducted, stored, bred, tortured, raped, butchered, in the vast underground facilities in connexion and collaboration with the US military bases. Children served for sexual trade, food and Adrenochrome, women for genetic breeding and sex slaves, and men as slave workers sent on diverse mining colonies. Some facilities specialized in mind-control technologies using nano and quantum dust trackers, AI intelligence, guided energy weapons, human cloning and genetic experiments, and worse… Soul scalping. This, is the removal of the soul from a body by the use of mercury, chrome and intense pain. All of these species, and all of these Terran elites, had a part of profit in this. You have no idea of the extent of the web of undergrounds and the cities… gigantic cities. The Agarthan subterranean structures, extremely ancient, were requisitioned and….
Going Through the Portal
Here is a quick update as to what just happened. On the eve of Trump’s speech, he gave out massive amounts of coded messages.
He even played the Q and WWG WGA song. That had to do with the FACT that the Pleiadians and the Archangels were rescuing humanity from the Draco’s and Zeta Fallen Angels.
On the eve, he struck the clock at 11:55, we would start to enter the portal of Saturn. This portal OPENED into the worm hole and Lion’s gate to 5D. Last night at 12:AM the gate closed! That is what everyone was watching. There were a lot of people on forum channels and sharing information about the great event.
We made history people!!!!
THE FLIP AT THE NORTH POLE STRAIGHTENED OUT LAST NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!
Currently, we are in the 4th dimension which is ‘The Rainbow Bridge’.
The curtain to 3d has closed (SEE ABOVE PICTURES).
I saw it, and so will you in a minute. What George was teaching us, was to be in a 5D mindset so when we move through these higher energies, they won’t affect you as much.
You will get headaches, dizziness and lots of ringing in the ears. These are symptoms of the Schumann changing from a 7.83 to the current 8.16 (or close to) and I will find new number soon.
We are headed to the 8.88 frequency.
We are moving into the Lion’s Constellation.
This is what we know as our God Frequency and Home.
It was Q who opened the Portal!
The Godly beings of the higher realms love us so much, we were worth the war. They sacrificed a lot to get us rescued from certain death scenario that was planned for the “HU”.
Thank you to all the great ones who are saving us!
We were surely on a path for complete annihilation.
We are the Elohim.
The Fallen Angels were suppose to be protecting us as we were schooling ourselves. This is tied to a greater spiritual outlook with a more “matured” balanced personality type of school.
As we were in school, the Watchers became the victimizers and started to rape and pillage the earthly Elohim. This is where things went bad. They created bastard non compliant Giants or Nephilim. Most of this you know already but they also took over the Matrix which was stored on the Pleiadian Moon Ship. This moon was stolen turned into a reincarnation, soul trap, for the dark ones. The moon was an important win for the DS.
THE GREAT INVASION!
THE MOON
The moon was part of the Pleiadian system to help earth. The 3D was controlled from the “Pleiadian” Matrix programmed into the ship’s computer system. The ship reflected the light of earth, and thus it was known as a mirror.
THE WAR
When the Draco’s took this planet over from the Annunaki / Pleiadians they also took the Matrix MOON Ship!
The Zeta were behind the invasion.
They were the ones that enslaved the Earthly Elohim.
The Zeta chased off the Pleiadians and the Annunaki / Godly beings during a war.
The moon was conquered and then used as a weapon against the Earthly Elohim = HU!
The Pleaidian Ship Station is more than 26,000 years old.
It was set here to control the ocean currents, weather modification and protection for the HU.
It had a ‘Matrix of Lessons’ we were to learn as we developed the Soul-Personality.
It also controlled the tilt of the planet. (which has just titled back)
It also controlled the land mass and what would come up and what would be buried under the water.
The Moon Ship has a rocky surface (probably made up of asteroid debris) and hollowed to make a ship construct. This is the circle metal construct George showed us years ago.
The craters of the moon appeared about 13,000 years ago, when the Zetas started using Nuclear energy weapons on it.
This energy is what killed off trees and made lush lands into deserts and poisoned the people.
We started developing virus, decay and cell death due to the use of Nuclear energy.
This caused medical conditions which the Zeta could take full advantage of so they introduced medical conditions and Western Medicine.
The Pleiadians are planning on teaching us more about this history just as soon as they remove the devil stuff.
The whole takeover of this planet was through the Zeta’s.
They brought nuclear power to this planet which poisoned us and earth.
On most of the Ley Lines there are nuclear power plants.
The Hoover Dam has a Nuclear power plant.
The China 3 Gorges Dam has a Nuclear power plant.
In the Ukraine they have a Nuclear power plant.
Anywhere the Reptilians were…there was nuclear.
Look at all the deserts.
Chances are…there is nuclear waste being created close by.
That is where all the Reptilians are and live at Sedona.
In the hills of Sedona are Green Crystals from the Pleiadians.
Who took them over? Yes, the Fallen Angels!
Look at all the Satanic Churches there!
In Jerome (by a cement factory) they have weird demonic people there who wear Satanic jewelry, tattoos and clothing. It has awful demonic energy.
In POTUS last speech, he stated “We are taking our diamonds back”! That of course is us. We are a 6-6-6 carbon base diamond construct.
The Pleiadians GOD and Archangels finally won the war against the Cabal. They were moving us to a free world when John McAfee discovered that the Reptilians / Zetas had placed a bomb in the Moon ship. This bomb could not be stopped and the doomsday event was planned to happen.
The invaders were going under ground in their city system and protection bunkers. They had a very elaborate environment built under our feet that would allow them to escape the dooms day event. The Moon ship was set to blow up on September 3, 2022.
It was because of this bomb that the Galactics had to move very cautiously during our liberation. When the White Hats had taken over enough positions of power within the governments, military and JFK took the POTUS position…Hillary called Gilgamesh (Enkidu / Enoch) for the dooms day clock to be set. This started the count down.
This is why the NASA (Satan) could not be allowed to launch their Artemis missile. It was to be boomeranged back against the rescuers and just blow up everything.
Since the missile didn’t take off, instead we started moving into position of the Lion’s Gate portal.
It opened for 24 hours only!
Therefore, the White Hats had to prepare us and get us ready to escape through this narrow window.
They also need to prepare us so we could handle the higher Schumann frequency.
They also had to bring us out of the lower timelines that were bogusly created by the catastrophes of war and 911. Once they got us to the “Perfect” timeline, then they could prepare us to leave the 3D.
While the Zeta were in control of this planet, they were allowed to harvest humans.
They sold our Elohim blood, duplicated our DNA and tried to merge their devil seed with our angelic light.
They always used an excuse when they are invading…that their society is dying and they need to save their species by correcting their DNA.
We all heard the story. However, this turned out to be a lie. It was a setup so they could get into the higher establishments and take them over.
Currently, we are in the tunnel system that will take us to the new world of 5D.
Earth was on a ship and flown out of the 3D.
We are traveling upon the surface of a Pleiadian ship.
Since we are out of the 3D and we don’t have to worry about the doomsday bomb going off…now we can clean house.
Now we “go deeper” in the removal of the Zeta constructs.
The removal process starts with the 3 Gorges Dam in China.
This dam is tied to their money system.
This will shut down the Evergrande corporation that controls BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard.
This is going down. Dan Scavino Jr. put out a comm last night showing a Panda down. That is a notice that Evergrande is ready to fall. When it does, BTC goes down. The other DS coins, 90%, were based on a pyramid scheme and all tied to BTC. The BTC holds up the Draco Stock Market. A lot of shell companies, just like on Twitter with bogus people, that have no wealth or assets backing them. Its all fake stuff. This falls because its no longer supported by BTC. The fiat dollar was also used to control the world. This fiat dollar is backed by war and oil.
There is neither and all being shut down.
Therefore the Zeta’s war machine does not work in controlling the countries. Instead the BRICS Alliance is using the Ruble.
Therefore fake money goes down and this is what the Deep State holds.
It would appear we were building our 5D world within the 3D Zeta controlled empire.
When all these cards start to collapse, this will lead to the Queen Lizards position.
She is already dead…but now her crown of control will also collapse.
This leads to the London Bridge’s SWIFT which leads into the Vatican’s IMF and the Swiss bank’s BIS…they all collapse.
Then the next domino is the corporations. (which is also held up by black money)
When all these dominos fall…the Stock Markets around the world will collapse.
It is at this point the White Hats are bringing in XRP banking.
The SEC was already settled last year and the White Hats were keeping it quite until they were ready for the launch of XRP.
The launch had to do with our portal transportation.
September 5 signals the number 248.
This hints at:
“Are You Ready?”
“The end of the 3D world”
“I will crash the system”
“Call me Q” and so forth.
This is the end of the line for the establishments serving Satan.
It is time to begin the main events.
Q has put out messages lately on Telegram that we are “walking with the best”. That means we are with the Q consciousness, God and company, Archangels and the Pleiadians 7 sisters.
Do not be fearful…for we walk with our brothers and sisters.
The door is shut so the Zeta can’t come after us. These are the demons that the bible spoke of and protected us from.
The milk that Q was referring to several days ago was the milk and honey that the brain produces when the left and right sides are united.
This is when your consciousness comes back…the veil is lifted and your abilities begin.
We are known as the “HU” Manifestos.
That is for the HU-MANS are frequency manifesting.
That is why you should only use frequency to heal yourself.
Everything is frequency.
The better your frequency…the better you can manifest!!!
Taking poisoned pills and doing Zeta medicines will kill your frequency.
They were slowly killing us with poisons so we could not use our protection weapon of “HU” manifesting to protect ourselves!
During the times of Egypt they were invaded by the Hyksos.
They were the blood drinking, flesh eating evil beings that came from Lil.
We are from the seed of EVE and ADAM.
We are not of the tree of Satan.
This is why they enslaved us and ate us.
It goes back to the story of Cain and Abel.
The Moses clan were known as the Hyksos and they were kicked out of Egypt. “Let my people go” came the other way.
The Adams or Semites (Joseph seed) kicked Moses and his flesh eating party out of Egypt.
They went to the Israel Mountains.
Moses lead them to a volcano which was their firey mountain god.
This fire god (think Satan) gave them their commandments.
These commandments were created to hide the Hyksos identity and to cover up the enslavement of the Semites.
The Satan rulership wanted to cover up the bloodlines (or tree) of the Lil bloodline.
They were advised to act like the EVE bloodline so that they could blend in and harvest when the time was right.
They started creating webs of rulership. They made armies (Solomon) and desecrated the Semites.
The Hyksos camouflaged themselves as our protectors and they were taught to veil their true intentions.
They live and thrive in volcanoes!
Think of SOS the Hyksos get it?
Satan taught them how to hide and veil themselves from their true identity and intent.
The “HU” are so young they don’t remember their true identities yet.
It was concealed from them and they didn’t have enough life experiences to help them identify with their Elohim origins.
This is why the Zeta targeted the “HU”.
The Annunaki were first targeted on Mars.
This was about 18,000 years ago.
Humanity was targeted next which was about 13,000 years ago.
The Zetas got the Annunaki to almost extinction by contracting war with the Zeta which released nuclear waste upon the people.
The Annunaki were the Pleiadians…not the Reptilians!!!
The Pleiadians were first and from the sky they came.
That is what the term Annunaki means.
Its the Pleiadians!
We come from the Pleiadian star system.
The Pleiadians were forced to retreat since they did not have weapons that would beat the Zetas.
The Zeta then targeted the moon.
Since the Pleiadians controlled the UFO moon (think computer) the invaders needed to take this ship next.
Then they attacked several locations on the surface of earth. (which is noticeable today by locating deserts)
The Grand Canyon, Zion and other cavernous areas.
The deserts would be the first areas of conquering by the Zeta.
Where you see deserts…you see the evidence that the Zeta took over these lands and made them their own.
Where you see lots of desert you will find lots of underground cities.
The Reptilians love radiation.
That is why you see so many Nuclear power stations.
When you map it out you can bet the Freemasons, Churches and Reptilians are close by.
In order to veil their intentions from us they created duality.
This duality allowed for them to harvest us without our knowledge.
We had good days and bad days.
Don’t spook the crowd type of approach.
The people were being controlled through the religions and exterminated through Western Medicine.
This was the soft kill approach.
***Doctors and Hospitals are harvesting people for the Zetas.***
That is why so much money flows through to this industry.
All businesses, banking, corporations, universities and so forth fund the harvesting facilities!
The Lion’s Gate is part of the “VENUS” (think Valiant Thor here) and Regulus conjunction.
This is the opening of the Saturn portal and entrance to the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th dimensions. This is why George told us we can go as high as we want with our consciousness learning. Caution, you will need to change your inner circle of friends as you do.
Queen Elizabeth / Lizard had a first born son.
It was not Charles and this is why Charles knew he would never be king.
William might of been a confusion marker and help to conceal the truth.
The real Anti Christ was to be this hidden son of Queen Lizzy and artificially inseminated by the Rothschilds.
This would have un-veiled the Rose!
The rose reference goes back to Lil the Queen Snake.
This hidden snake heir was non other than the 777 = Gregory Hallett!
He was going to claim his place on the King’s Throne and then flip us into hell on earth.
The Arma-Christi was the hidden King.
S = Snake or Serpent
Now we are faced with a new challenge the Sheep!
Are they going to withstand the frequencies of this higher dimension?
As our veils come off and we learn the truth there are going to be a lot of people that flip out.
This is probably why we have the military around but I think most of the doctors, nurses, hospital staff and so forth will be removed due to the Nuremburg trials. We shall see?
It makes sense now that the USA was last.
We were last to be harvested and desecrated by the Zetas.
We lucked out…so many before were not so fortunate.
This could also explain why we have so many Pleiadians here in the USA.
We were riddled with Satanic bloodthirsty monsters and they knew it.
MED BEDS
The MedBeds are coming out soon.
They needed to be in a higher dimension (block chain implementation) and higher G’s of internet.
I was told awhile ago we would go to 22G.
That’s the computer, phones, cars and so forth would move a lot faster.
Time is an illusion.
Gravity was an illusion.
Time was created by the Zetas to control us.
Gravity was created through dense energy.
It literally kept us down.
Thus…levitation is now possible.
We will be taught how to use our abilities.
The Pleiadians and the Celestials are family.
They will be introducing themselves soon.
We will not be tormented by the Zeta/Draco ever again.
Amen, Amen, Amen and thank you Galactic World Warriors!
Now for the last piece of this liberation movement; the tear down of the Satanic constructs.
You know what they are so I won’t mention them. (google it)
The movie’s final phase is about to begin and Mystro is ready to wave his stick.
Brace for the ultimate finale of fireworks.
You are safe and help the liberation movement by helping others.
Lastly, when we were going through the portal…we got a horrible (never seen before) dust storm.
We also got pictures of the 2 skies.
A lot of people had pictures so look around on social media. (especially telegram)

BUENAS NOCHES PATRIOTOS:
Humanity is so young that they don’t remember past lives yet. This is the primary reason
Zeta’s targeted the Annunaki first on Mars about 18,000 years ago and then humanity almost 13,000 years ago. Exact dates for all events will come out with disclosure. It’s all very complex. Zeta’s got the Annunaki to almost completely genocide themselves which ended up being an all out nuclear war.
The Pleiadians were forced to retreat, not having any defense against this Zeta invasion. Annunaki under Zeta control using nuclear weapons then attacked the Moon and then several locations on Earth. These scars are still very much apparent today, most of the desert areas. The Moon is a Pleiadian space station brought here almost 26,000 years ago for a very complex set of reasons. One of the primary reasons was ocean currents, a stabilized rotational tilt making more land area livable and a stabilized climate. The Moon was a rocky moon encased in a titanium shell then hollowed out with the surface covered with some of the excavation. That’s why the craters are so shallow. These craters didn’t exist 13,000 years ago. Nuclear technology was given by the Zeta’s as well as viruses, diseases and induced medical conditions. As usual I write too much because | don’t know when to stop, yet this is so very little of
“the never ending available information.
It’s not my place to write this book, that comes later, that belongs to the Pleiadians. They have always been here with me as well. Five ships are above us today and their presence is always in the room.
Okay, as for the disembodied human spirits | finally asked who they are. Everyone that was under direct Zeta control that has been physically executed by sentence of Military Tribunals is sent here to be spiritually executed by me. Name example; Hillary, Obama, Biden, The Queen along with many other Royals, Pope Francis and all the Cardinals of the Vatican etc… This list of names is over 200,000 to date and continues globally. These people are too corrupted to be allowed to reincarnate. Before Zeta’s were taken out of control the Zeta’s would spiritually kill hem so as not to draw attention to what they were doing here. As you know all major and tribal religions globally are a Zeta construct of governance over humanity by means of duality, Zeta language is called Sumerian, and Satan is the biblical God
everyone worships. I have explained in the past what is true many times. This universe is life and the physical energy came into being by fetal cell division and the Dark energy that controls everything is spiritual.
There is already a huge base on the dark side. And the Moon is not what you think it is…its a hollow ship not a planet. The African zulus talk about a history when there was no moon..
4D EN ROUTE.
ON THE CLOCK.

Chapter 5
“Y/n it's our turn, let’s sing!!” Vivi told me, while pulling me from my arm. “Vivi, wait”, I said. I kept watching how Law was still hugging the girl. “What is it?... Oi!”, Nami said, also witnessing the scene.
“Don’t go, just… wait”, I begged my redhead friend who was ready to kill him. I saw how the mysterious woman and Law laughed together. Zoro didn’t even care, he was more drunk than anything else.
The girl was ruffling his hair, pinching his cheeks. Law didn’t even look at me. I didn’t know if he was just simply so amused about the girl that he simply forgot about me, or, he was doing this on purpose, knowing that I’ll be watching, maybe to let me know he wasn’t going to commit to me in any way.
“That’s it. I’m leaving”, I stated. Vivi, Robin and Nami insisted on me shouting at Torao, but I couldn’t. I was so hurt, and, besides that, I wasn’t even his girlfriend, so I had no right to reproach anything to him.
The girls came with me, and we drove home. The boys didn’t realize we had left until long after we weren’t at the karaoke bar, when Sanji texted Nami asking what the hell had just happened. “Sanji, you should ask your stupid ass friend Torao, what the hell is he doing with a bitch?, plus, go get your boyfriend too, she is right next to him”, Nami said via audio.
Sanji sent an audio back, “Nami-swan! Zoro is not my boyfriend… wait, you were talking about him, right?, whatever, Torao is still with her, I’m gonna see who the hell is she and kick the hell out of stupid Law for hurting Y/n-chwan”.
I drove as fast as I could, at that point I only wanted to bury myself in bed and cry my eyes out. I was silent all the way. My friends knew there was no point in saying anything else, so they just strung along with me.
We got home, and Robin offered me some tea, yet, I politely turned the offering down and headed almost running to my bed. I covered myself up to my face, and pitiful tears sprouted from my eyes.
I heard my cell phone ring several times, I knew it was probably my friends asking if I was all right. But I didn’t have the strength to even see the screen.
“Why did you choose to hurt me like this, Law?” ... I whispered to myself, unable to understand why I was in that position, why after all the romantic stuff he has done for me he didn’t even care I was there…
I reached my phone and simply turned it off, I was fed up with it ringing. Some minutes, perhaps half an hour passed until I fell asleep, crying.
Suddenly, Nami’s loud screams woke me up. “TORAO, WHAT THE FUCK? WHY ARE YOU BRINGING THIS SLUT HOME?”.
I didn’t hear Law’s voice, but I did hear someone climbing the stairs, quickly, almost running.
The door opened suddenly with a loud sound, like someone kicking on it. I was still in bed, and the bang of the door made me take an upright position instantly.
There he was, the villain of my story with tears on his eyes, hopeless, shaking. “Y/n-ya!!! it’s not what you think, let me explain…” “STOP, what type of lie are you going to spit out from your stupid mouth?, plus, what the hell? I heard Nami saying you brought that girl home. Have you been drinking? Are you drunk? what the fuck?” I shouted at him, also crying.
Suddenly, before Law could say anything else, I saw a brunette, tanned, tall girl, with big eyes that resemble Law’s ones. She looked at me, smiling and peacefully said, “Hello Y/n, my name is Lami. Trafalgar, Lami”.
I opened my eyes, and mouth… “Trafalgar?”.
“That’s right! I’m Law 's sister! Nice to meet you! I’m sorry if you got things wrong!” she said to my stunned me. “Oi, brother, she is so pretty!! Even more than in the pictures!”.
“Oh God…”. I was somehow relieved that Law wasn’t flirting with a girl, yet mortified because not only me, but all my friends had called Law’s sister a slut… a bitch.
“I am… I am really sorry… And, uhm, N-nice to meet you…”, I said, wiping the tears on my eyes. “It’s ok, darling! I’m leaving you alone so you can talk in peace, I’ll be downstairs!”. “O-ok”, I said sniffing.
Law slowly approached to the left side of my bed and sat there, next to me, in silence. I wasn’t capable of saying anything to him, either. I had put up a show, he probably thought I was a toxic girl, jealous or even worse things. I had mistrusted him. It was probably the end of something that hadn’t even started.
Suddenly, Law hurled himself on me, hugged me and nuzzled on my lap. “I thought you wouldn’t believe me, I’m sorry, I really do. Lami lives in Jeju and I wanted her to meet you because she is not traveling to Seoul any sooner, we just decided that we will be meeting at the bar so… so you could get to know her”. He said, still with his head buried onto my legs.
“Law…”, I began to cry again. I petted his hair and told him “I am the one who should be sorry. I- I thought you were a bad guy, a typical man that doesn’t care about the girls. I am sorry…”. I felt horrible.
I could hear downstairs my friends laughing, Sanji and Zoro fighting, Luffy shouting. Luckily everybody would make Lami feel comfortable, after all. Law was still sobbing over my lap.
After several minutes I decided to speak up. “Law, stop, you are not the one who should be crying asking me for forgiveness. You did nothing wrong. I was completely mistaken. I hope you will be able to forgive me someday”, I said, gaining composure in order to make things clear.
He sat back, looked at me with teary eyes and asked, “someday? There is nothing to forgive. I want to be with you, I … L…”
“Oi, you two, stop crying, Lami is leaving”, said Nami leaning on the door frame, smiling at us. As she left, and Law wiped the tears off my cheeks, we stood up from bed. I was still dressed so we headed downstairs right away.
“Sis, let’s go, I don’t quite remember how to get your home from here, so you tell me”, said Law. Lami looked at him with loving eyes, and said, “My big brother is always taking care of me, I missed you doc”. Law’s cheeks became red, and he hid under the white with black spots cap he was wearing.
Lami said goodbye to everybody, except me, “she probably hates me”, I thought.
I was going to wish her a good night, when Lami held my hand and pulled from me. “Let’s go sister-in-law, come with us!”. I followed them into the car unsure if Law wanted me there, because he was still embarrassed as hell.
I let Law’s sister sit on the passenger seat, and I sat on the back seat behind Lami. A few seconds after Law started the car Lami said, “Oi, Y/n! did you know that Law has never ever introduced a girlfriend to the family before?”. I choked a little when I heard her say “girlfriend”, and simply chuckled. Law told her to stop, but Lami continued telling me how “emo” he was when he was an adolescent, making fun of his sibling.
We finally arrived at Lami's house. It was a traditional Jeju stone house, with big windows and a typical korean roof construction. On the entrance was a tall guy wearing a cap with “PENGUIN” written on it, waving at us. Law parked the car next to a black Hyundai Ioniq.
“Oi!! brother-in-law!!! How are you? It’s been a year my dear friend!” the guy at the door told Law. We descended the car, and the guy hugged Law in a way “man” do. Lami introduced me to the man, he was his boyfriend, and they had been living together for a few years, and apparently before dating Lami, Penguin knew Law since they were little.
We went inside, and had coffee while chatting about everything. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at any moment, Lami and Penguin were really warm people.
Law’s sister and I headed to the kitchen. It was a perfect opportunity to ask her about their parents so I thought of the best way to bring up the subject. I didn’t need to, because it was the first thing that Lami mentioned.
“Y/n, I’m sure my cold brother didn’t tell you anything about our parents… right?”, she said. I was helping her putting some mochi onto a plate, so I looked at her and said “Not really… At first I thought Rosinante was his father, but then I realized that his surname was Trafalgar, not Donquixote”.
“That’s right, Rosinante is something like Law’s dad. When my brother was 10 years old, my parents passed away in a car accident. They were both doctors, the best ones of this city. Law looks exactly like my dad when he was younger…”, she stopped for a little, and continued, “We stayed with our grandparents at the moment. After two years, Law became really ill and had to be taken to Seoul for some doctors to cure him. Luckily, Rosinante was a volunteer at the children’s hospital where Law was being treated. After six months of intense treatment, he recovered and forged a friendship with “Corasan” who took care of him… Oh sorry, I meant, Rosinante. Corasan it’s just a nickname Law gave him during… the chemotherapy...”, she concluded.
“Oh… poor baby…I’m sorry for your loss too, Lami” I said, feeling a lump in my throat. “Don’t worry, we are all right now, time has passed”, she said, grabbing my hand softly and smiling. She continued, “but let me tell you something, I’ve never seen Law with that type of twinkle in his eyes in the 24 years I’ve known him. He loves you; I can sense that. Plus, when you left the bar earlier, he became so desperate, he was truly worried about losing you”.
I blushed instantly, yet, I was so happy of hearing how he probably loves me that I giggled. And Lami, too.
From the living room we heard Law calling me, “Bab… Y/n-ya, let’s go home it is pretty late”. “Ah… my sweet loving brother and his ways…”, Lami said with a sarcastic tone, rolling back eyes. We both laughed and headed where the boys were.
“Oi Penguin, do you have a bottle of cold water? I tend to get thirsty when I drive”, Law asked Penguin and looked at me with some sort of look I can only label as… horny?. “Right, bro, let me get you one”, said the cool cap guy and headed to the kitchen. “He gets thirsty?” I said to myself a little confused, but dismissed the thought as my attention went to Lami who was showing me a photo of his brother when he was a little baby.
The happy couple invited us to the lantern festival that was taking place the next night at the historical center of the city. They told us to bring all of our friends too. We were excited about it, so we accepted the invitation and left the house.
During the ride along a road by the sea, Law asked me, “Babe, can you please turn the GPS on?, I don’t really know where I am going…”. I searched for my phone in my pockets, but realized I’ve left it at home. “I didn’t bring my phone… give me yours”, I told him. He grabbed his from the black jeans pocket and gave it to me. “Law, your phone is dead…”, I said, trying to turn it on.
“Yeah, my battery died after calling you twenty times when you left the bar…”, he said, kinda joking. “Oh…”, I gasped, and continued, “Well, let me enter the address on the car sat nav”.
I approached my hand to the little screen when Law stopped my hand and smirked. “It would be a shame if the computer wouldn’t work and we ended up lost…”.
“You clearly had this planned, right?” I said arching a brow. “Me, planning things? that’s not something I usually do…”, he said in a sarcastic way, but with a sexy tone that made me somehow fidget on my seat.
I came closer to his face and almost talking next to his ear I said, “Let’s get lost”. Law licked his lips, placed his right hand over my lap and said “Heh, sure… I can’t resist myself anymore”.
He suddenly turned the wheel and took a little road that took us to the beach. Finally, my lover parked the car, luckily it was a deserted zone, a cliff area, and there weren’t any houses or places nearer.
The beach ahead of us was lightened by an intense moonshine, the sea was choppy so the waves hit hard on the cliffs.
Law threw his seat back and patted his lap, “Strip for me, and come here, baby”. “Ah, so we are fucking on the car, nice…” I thought and began to take my clothes off.
“Don’t take that off, yet. You know that little bandanna you have on your head could help us…”, he said to me after I jumped over his lap. I felt a rock hard bulge under my core, he was already so ablaze for me.
He then untied the cloth that was holding my hair, smirked at me, and said “may I?” while covering my eyes with it.
“Lay you back on the steering wheel, baby girl”, he ordered me. I remember instantly how he likes to dominate me, so I followed his order to a “Yes, sir”.
His fingers ran from my mouth to my neck. He kept lowering them softly caressing my flesh. I could barely feel the touch of his fingers over my skin. He wasn’t talking, and I was unaware of what was coming next, I was blindfolded, but surrendered completely to this man.
All of a sudden I felt a cold sensation over one of my nipples, “Uhg…” I moaned, throwing my head back. Then the chilly stinging feeling moved to my other nipple. God, what is that?... and suddenly remember Law asking Penguin the cold water bottle. “Damn you, Law”, I said to myself but only being able to verbalize moans and grunts.
He began to trail an icy path from my breasts to my lower stomach. My heated skin mixed with the cold water that began to melt over my flesh, felt like a sweet torture.
“Your hot body is making the icy water melt and wet my jeans… or is it perhaps your own arousal for your Master, baby girl?”, he said to me, while running a thumb over my clit.
He then penetrated me with two fingers as he only knew how to, took them off and asked me to open my mouth. “Taste yourself, baby girl”, he commanded me, and I opened my mouth and sucked.
I heard - and felt- how he unzipped his jeans, and slowly took his member out. I could feel how he began to softly hit his manhood over my sex. He was playing with it, but my body couldn’t wait for it to be inside of me.
“Is it getting hot in here, huh?” he said and unbuttoned his black shirt. I knew it because he then grabbed my hands making me caress his skin. My hands wandered along his chest, but my mind was only focusing on how much I wanted to be penetrated by this man.
I was drowning in lust, I needed him to do something, but he didn’t. “Law… Sir… What are you doing?... fuck me, I want you to fuck me…”. He laughed, and violently but gently enough he pinched and twisted one of my erect nipples. A strike of intense pleasure hit my center, and it was so unexpected that I only purred at it.
He then ran his inked fingers through my hair and pulled me closer to his face, this time he wasn’t being gentle, he was being rough… and I loved it. “What do you think you are doing? I am the one who gives you orders in here, are we clear?” he said, whispering with a grunt in my ear.
“Y-yes sir, I- am sorry…”, I said, stuttering. “Good”, he said and kissed me. We made out, hard, feverishly. I could feel over my entrance how his sex became even harder.
He suddenly put his hands on each side of my waist and lifted me up a little bit, so I could place my knees on each side of the seat. He used his right hand to guide his pennis inside of me. It was just the tip of it, he was enjoying how I was probably miming the words “fuck me” repeatedly. After a few seconds of torture, he grabbing me again from my waist, pushed me down against his lap. “Ugh..” I said, opening my mouth, throwing my back to the steering wheel, so hard that I made the car horn sound.
I wanted to be penetrated, and he did it so roughly, yet so pleasantly.
I began to ride him, back, forward, up, down, tracing circles with my pelvis. My left knee hit the emergency brake handle, it hurt but I didn’t care. I placed my hands over his strong abs, letting all of my senses focus on the pleasure, imagining the expression he had on his face when I heard him groan.
Law pulled my hair and threw my neck back, again making me hit my back on the wheel, and used his hips to bang me, hard, burying himself into me. Every thrust made my body react with little spams; I was being sent to heaven.
Law untied the bandanna that was covering my eyes, and said in between the thrusts and an agitated voice, “I want to see your precious face when I make you cum”. My eyes slowly returned to its functions, admiring the sweaty thorax of Law, the way his stomach would go up and down picturing his rapid breathing. His face showed a red glowing, he was more than aroused. I was too, and as I reached for climax, placing my right hand over the steamy glass of the car window, Law did too with a hard “Huh”.
He bathed my insides once again. I remained still enjoying the warming sensation inside of me, trying to erase any worry at the time.
Law placed a hand on my back and pulled me closer to his chest, while lying his neck over the headrest of the yellow Sonata.
I rested my whole tired body over his, enjoying the touch of our warm skins, the scent of his body, with my lips wandering along his neck, leaving soft kisses over its skin.
“We should go back home; they might get a little bit concerned…” I told Law, still over him. “Yeah, you are right, let’s go back…”.
It was 4 am so once we got home and opened the door, we entered stealthily. I walked behind Law when he suddenly stopped, and I fell over him. “What is it, Law?!” I whispered, “I don’t know, this is kind of a slumber party…”, he whispered back at me.
Suddenly all the lights turned on. Everybody was sleeping on bare mattresses on the floor of the living room.
Little by little our friends but Zoro and Sanji woke up.
“Oh my god, finally…” said Nami and everyone began to laugh. They weren’t laughing at us, but at Sanji and Zoro who were sleeping cuddled.
Law looked at them and looked at everybody else and said, “Excuse me, is this something new to you? Oi Mugiwara-ya, tell them every time you three get to sleep at home they do the same”. Luffy nodded, still laughing.
No matter how much noise they made, nor Zoro or Sanji woke up, they seemed to be happily enjoying sleeping like this, so we didn’t want to bother them anymore.
“Let’s go back to sleep, guys. Y/n and Law you can sleep upstairs, we left Law’s bed intact”, said Franky winking at us. “Thank you!!” I said, and we went upstairs jumping through the multiple legs of our friends.
We climbed up the stairs, and went into the boy’s room. I was undressing when suddenly Law offered me a big loose t-shirt. “Don’t get me wrong I love your naked body, but what if the boys enter the room and see you naked?”, he said. “Oh, Law, are you jealous? hahaha”, I mocked him. “Well, let's not discuss jealousy…”, he said frowning.
I grabbed his white loose t-shirt with some kind of black power ranger called “Stealth Black” printed on it and put it on, giggling. I could have sworn he was a geeky nerd, and that was the proof.
Law and I jumped into his bed and muffled up with the bedding. He hugged me, kissing my head. “Thank you for making this the best holiday of my whole life…”, he said. “Thank you for paying the bus ticket that time…”, I whispered with my face pressed up against his chest. We both laughed and soon after fell asleep.
I woke up with the sounds of some birds chirping on the window. Law was still asleep beside me, with his ruffled hair, his cheek pressed against the pillow with his mouth open, snoring softly. I couldn’t help but drool over that image, so handsome even like that, the intimacy, the person I wanted to wake up to each morning.
I placed my head over the tattoos of his chest, following with my index finger the lines of ink on his skin. I remained there for a few minutes hearing his heartbeat, drunk of his skin scent.
Softly he began caressing my cheek, still without opening his eyes. He was probably half asleep yet.
I felt a million butterflies trapped on my stomach, I was so in love, I had fallen for this guy, hard. I felt a little guilty, I mean, how was I supposed to fall in love so quickly with a man?... I guess it was just love at first sight…
Law’s hand stopped moving, and suddenly I heard him mumble something like, “Mmmm- hum - I-I- love you Y/n-ya”. I widened my eyes, “did he just say he loves me? “I was completely surprised and even unsure if that was what he said or if it was just my imagination.
Some minutes later, he opened his eyes, slowly. “Good morning, baby girl”, he said, kissing my forehead. I was immobile, watching his face still trying to process what he had just said. “What is it?, are you sleeping with your eyes open? you are gorgeous but that would be a little creepy”, he said, surprised.
“N-No, uhm, I am awake, yes. Good morning”, I uttered. “Are you ok, Y/n-ya?”, he asked with a confused expression. “Yeah, uhm… Law… Do you sleep talk?”, I inquired him. “Oh… did I? I’m sorry... I do, yes. Sometimes. What did I say?”, he said this time with a worried expression. “Oh, no, nothing, I thought I heard something but I don’t know. It’s nothing”, I said, trying to settle the matter.
We remained cuddling up a little bit more, until we heard movements downstairs. They were probably waking up, so I decided to go to my room and get ready for the day.
“New pajamas”, I thought while taking off Law’s shirt. I folded and put it on my suitcase, I wasn’t willing to give it back to him.
I went ahead and showered. I let the warm water bathe my skin while thinking about Law saying “I love you” while he was asleep. Was he really? Did he really feel that or was it just a dream?... I guess I should wait…
After the bath, which clearly made me more anxious than relaxed, I went downstairs to the kitchen where Sanji was already preparing breakfast. I decided to help him with setting the table while chatting about the lantern festival of that night. Nami, Vivi and Robin joined us and were pleased that Lami and Penguin invited us to such a pretty event.
Our last day in Jeju passed with us visiting the Samseonghyeol Shrine, which is the oldest historic site in Korea. That place is considered as the birthplace of three demigods of the island, founders of the Tanma Kingdom that governed Jeju Island before the Joseon dynasty took over.
At noon we came back from the city and began to get ready for the festival that night. I received a message from Lami, “@TraffLami.06 > hello Sis! How is the day going? Is my brother treating you right?. Listen, we usually wear “hanbok” to the festival. If you want to too, you can rent them from a friend's shop. I send the location. See you tonight! ♥”. I got super excited for it, I loved cultural clothing and I wanted to see Law wearing those clothes too. I told my friends and we all agreed on renting one. Law, being the warm boy he was, wasn't so sure about it, but with a little kiss and a little begging I could convince him.
The night came and we all drove to the historical centre of Jeju. The place was all garnished with paper lanterns, string lights hanging from some bridges, lit inflatable displays, food courts, typical music being played that mixed with the buzz of hundreds of attendants that were enjoying the night.
I was wearing a hanbok in yellow and orange tones, while Law used a green and black one. He looked like a typical groom; I couldn’t help but fantasize a little about us getting married someday.
Luffy of course ran to the food stalls followed by everybody else, Zoro went ahead and attacked the stall where they were offering some kind of soju and Law and I waited for his sister and Penguin to arrive at where we were.
Law was more silent than usual and his face showed concerned. I thought at first about him missing his parents or family, maybe the festival triggered some memories, so I held his hand without saying anything. He squeezed my hand, and began to sweat.
“Are you ok, doc?”, I asked. He looked at me, I could sense he got really nervous and finally mumbled, “Y/n-ya we need to talk…” …
Part 6, FINAL

I do wish there were more major video games that embedded original art that was worthwhile in its own right within the game.
Everyone knows that GTA V has TV shows in it but they're not really interesting on their own, they're like a less inventive version of South Park that lacks much artistic value because they're not really meant to be consumed that way, they're just more set dressing to the video game intended to convey how WaCkY aNd OvEr ThE ToP the whole world of san whatever is I forgot the name already.
I have occasionally thought about what it would be like if GTA V had, playing every in-game friday from 1800 or whatever, an episode of a short original TV show. Commission a proper movie from some art students, compress it down to 720p and stuff it in there, no one will notice the extra gigabyte. Write a couple dozen early-99pi style 10 minute radio shows and have them play sometimes. Just something fully original and largely unrelated to the world. You can have it set within the world, but make it interesting art in its own right.
This is of course a pretty big ask, to put in a thing that can be totally ignored and which perhaps is best ignored, but still, they put that much effort into the utterly inane cartoons that show on GTAV's TV channels already. There's a tennis minigame in that thing which I have never actually tried.
I also think it would be funny if like, as you walk around Horizon Zero Dawn, you could collect a complete music review podcast from the year 2047. It already has audio logs. Let Aloy hear about 250 Gecs.

Parallel Palpitations (the records) |  navi. | m.list
Tumblr media
Closing his locker with his foot, Jimin tries to carefully balance his books placed precariously on top of each other in his arms as he walks back to the dean’s office where he’s also arranging most of his stuff to take home. It’s already been a week since he’d officially graduated medicine from Busan National University, and he had only kept going back to school to gather all his belongings so he could start reviewing. 
“Jimin, is that you?” The question almost knocks clumsy Jimin off his feet, surprised at how there was still any other person in the office besides  Kyungjo who was also collecting his stuff to take home. Jimin sets all of his books down first on a desk and turns, only to come face to face with none other than Jeon Jungmin himself, associate professor and chairman of the Jeon Medical Center. 
“Professor Jeon! Good evening Sir...It’s already late, professor?” 
Jeon Jungmin laughs, patting Jimin on the back, “I was going to say the same to you kid. You should go home.” Jimin flashes the older man a small smile, “Ah...yes, Professor. I’m just grabbing the last of my stuff then I’ll be on my way. This won’t take long.” 
“It’s fine, Jimin. The staff know you well anyways,” Jungmin sighs, then rests his weight on a pillar as he puts his hands in his pockets. “You know, Jimin...you’re a very bright student...I think even one of the best in Korea if I do say so myself.” 
The young man momentarily pauses with what he’s doing, taking in the professor’s words, “Oh, I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, Sir.” 
Jungmin chuckles as he shakes his head. “It’s true - you’re driven and you’re smart. It’s a fixed formula for someone who achieves great success in life later on. Your parents must be very proud. I would be too, if you were my son too.” 
“Thank you, Professor. Everything I do, I do for my parents.” 
The older man lets out a deep exhale and gives Jimin another pat on the back. “Just wanted to let you know that you’re going to be a fine doctor Jimin - and the Jeon Medical Center would definitely need fine doctors like you. I realized I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I really hope you will choose JMC for your post-graduate internship. We have a good program here,” Jungmin’s voice goes down to a whisper, “If you wish to, just let me know…” 
Someone enters the office and bows to the both of them and recognizes the same man as the professor’s driver. The man collects the professor’s briefcase and coat with one nod of Jungmin. “Well, I’ll head off first, Jimin. I can give you a ride home if you’re done with those.” 
Jimin shakes his head quickly, declining the one and only Jeon Jungmin’s generous offer. He’s unsure about the other offer though, but if he lets himself get a car ride home with the chairman himself, the latter might take it as a favorable answer to his proposal to which Jimin is still undecided. “No thank you Sir. I’ll be alright. This might still take a while after all,” Jimin says with an awkward laugh, tapping the top of the stack which was rivaling Jimin’s height. 
“Alright Jimin. Get back home safely. And I...hope to see you again very soon.” 
Jimin gives him a curt nod. “Good night, Professor.” 
He continues on with his remaining tasks, wanting to finish quickly so he could finally go home and rest. “Is he gone?” Kyungjo’s voice startles Jimin, the book in his hands nearly causing the tower of books to collapse. “My god! Stop doing that!” Jimin scolds his friend as it wasn’t the first time Kyungjo’s sleuthing had given Jimin a fright. 
“Yeah, he left already. You done with your stuff?” 
“Uh-huh. All set and ready to step into the real world,” Kyungjo replies, waving his hands in the air. Jimin narrows his eyes at the other boy, judging him silently. Kyungjo has a particular inclination towards alcohol and Jimin wonders if today was one of the days where his friend indulges himself yet once again. 
“Have you heard about his actual son? What was the kid’s name again...uh…” Kyungjo snaps his fingers in mid-air as Jimin asks what was the issue with the chairman’s son, likewise reminding Kyungjo it wasn’t best to talk about it in the dean’s office. “Ah! Yes, Jeon Jungkook. Heard that their relationship got so bad that Jungkook completely cut himself off from the family once he graduated high school and went to Yonsei instead of BNU because of his daddy issues.”
Jimin, unsure how to handle and process that kind of information, simply shakes his head at Kyungjo. “It’s wrong to gossip about other people's lives like that.” When Jimin looks over at his friend, Kyungjo is no longer listening, fumbling with the remote as he turns up the volume of the office television. 
“In other news today, two thousand five hundred sixty one students of Seoul National University graduated this afternoon 25th of February, 2023. The ceremony was held at COEX Convention Center in Samsung-dong, Seoul to accommodate the number of graduates this year. With a yearly average of at least two thousand three hundred graduates, this year’s commencement ceremony records the highest number of graduates in the history of the national university. 
“Not only did they record the highest number of alumni, but this year also marks the first year to have a foreign national graduate as the school’s valedictorian.” Jimin is listening just as intently as Kyungjo now with both boys focused on the TV screen. “Jeong Yeorum, also known as Summer Jeong by her colleagues, graduates with flying colors today from Seoul National University’s College of Medicine. Here is part of her valedictory speech this afternoon.” 
A girl appears on screen and she stands behind the podium with a bright and reassuring smile on her face. “As we embark on the journey of the rest of our lives, I implore you all, to do what you love, because I believe it’s what you’ll do best. There will be countless times of trial, but keep in mind that perseverance will always prevail. Always aim for the moon, because even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. Class of 2023, good luck. And remember, graduation is only the beginning.” 
“Wow!” Kyungjo claps his hands enthusiastically as he marvels at the girl. “The twenty-six year old, who along with her  family migrated to South Korea back in 2015 when her father was reassigned to an office here in Seoul. The valedictorian says she’s not entirely foreign to Korea as her paternal grandmother is actually a native of Jeju. Jeong Yeorum then attended a co-ed high school in Mapo District, where she likewise finished her secondary education with academic distinction.” 
The reporters, equally impressed with the girl’s achievements, couldn’t help but add their own comments to the news report, “Wow...I guess some people are simply born for greatness.” 
“I agree with you there, Dongho-ssi. We might be looking at the next Bae Jeonjoo, the only woman in the group of doctors who pioneered neurosurgery in South Korea. Ms. Jeong Yeorum, if you are seeing this, we’re rooting for your promising career. Fighting!” 
As soon as the news anchors proceed to report other news, Kyungko turns off the television and mentions the time. “Well, she was pretty cute, wasn’t she? Totally my type! Maybe when we get to Seoul to review, we’ll get the chance to meet her...and make her my girlfriend!” 
Jimin rolls his eyes at Kyungjo, placing a firm grip on the shoulder, “My friend...you are either drunk, hungry, or high. Either way, you should go home. Don’t worry about me, I’ll just close up here.” 
Kyungjo shrugs his shoulders. “You’ll still go, right? To Seoul?” 
“I will. Don’t worry.” Jimin gives the other boy a reassuring nod. 
“Still half half with the rent, a’ight? I’ll be counting on you, Jiminie...and don’t let me down. Also, tell me when you’re leaving for Seoul so I know when I’m not supposed to bring hot city girls home...they have the tendency to be...loud sometimes.” 
This boy was definitely high, and whatever substance he’s taking, Jimin wants none of it. 
“That’s your cue, Kyungjo. Go home and take a cab instead.” 
“I can drive! I’m not high or drunk!” Kyungjo puts his hands up in the air in defense. “Hey, look, I can even moonwalk!” He proceeds to dance wildly as he exits the office, leaving Jimin questioning how he even became acquainted with Kyunjo in the first place. 
Tumblr media
You barely hear the sound of your name being called on stage when the audio of Hoseok’s loud whooping completely dulls that of your professor’s. “Oppa! Nobody would be able to make out my name with your audio input!” Playfully shoving your cousin’s phone back into his hands, you continue to mumble your complaints about the poor video quality. 
Indignant with your words, Hoseok retorts, “Hey! I’m not a professional videographer, alright? What’s important is the actual moment happening and not how the moment was captured!” Hoseok hooks an arm over your neck, bringing your head to his chest as he gives you a noogie. “Oppa, my hair!!” 
Pulling yourself away from his grasp, you quickly pat your hair down but not delivering a solid smack on Hoseok’s back. As you’re fixing your hair, you weren’t able to put much thought into where you were walking, ultimately, and accidentally bumping into someone in a blue and black graduation robe similar to yours. 
Quickly, you look up, apologizing profusely at the person. “Oh! I’m so sorry- I…” “It’s okay,” the guy smiles a little, “_________, right?” You’re sure the surprise is evident in your face when he mentions your name when he barely even talked to you during the entirety of med school. “Yes! I mean...hello, Jungkook..” Clearing your throat, you quickly think of something to divert the impending awkward silence, “Well...um, congratulations to you for graduating as the batch valedictorian!” It now dawns on you that he really did graduate on top of the class, “Wow! You’re real smart!” comes your thoughts, unconsciously voicing them out. 
‘You’re real smart?’ Really? That’s the best you could’ve done? 
Jungkook chuckles, slightly taken-aback by your audible observation. “Oh yeah...um, thanks.” From behind you, you hear Hoseok clear his throat before speaking up. “Hello!” You hang your head low momentarily, already imagining Hoseok making fun of you later for this. 
“Right, Jungkook, this is my cousin, Jung Hoseok. Oppa, this is my classmate - Jeon Jungkook.” The two men shake their hands briefly before Jungkook speaks up, “Well, I’ve got to go now. Congratulations to you too Soomin. And Jung Hoseok-ssi.” 
As soon as Jungkook gets out of your sight, Hoseok nudges you with his elbow. “Please tell me that man was Jeon Jungmin’s son,” he says, shaking his head in disbelief. Nodding your head, you raise an eyebrow at him. 
“Got a crush on the dude?” Oh god. Here we go again. 
“No! Jeez.” 
“Why were you so awkward around him then?” 
“We barely talked in class. Hell, I don’t even think we were within at least fifty meters from each other.” 
“But he’s a handsome man?” 
“Maybe you’re the one that’s got a crush on him?” 
Hoseok glares at you. 
“Do you think maybe you’d know which hospital he might be interested in taking his PGI? Woocheon perhaps?” 
It’s your turn to glare at him. “I told you. This incident was only one of our very few interactions ever. I think the last time he talked to me was when he borrowed a pencil during a class and that’s it.” 
“Well...if you’d discover where, let me know. Because if he does apply for Woocheon, and we’d happen to get the girl from SNU too....” Hoseok nods his head slowly, stroking his chin “Woocheon will have the A-Team interns this year, you included.” 
You roll your eyes, resting your arm against the car door that Hoseok opens for you, “You really think that’s going to pay for you ruining my hair?” 
“No, but you’re going to thank me if Woocheon manages to snag the dream team!”

SPG Kazooland Master Post
Kazooland is the alternate dimension in the Steam Powered Giraffe Universe.  This post contains various facts and tidbits mentioned by David and Bunny Bennett about it on tumblr and the official SPG websites over the years.  Please feel free to share more information in the reblogs!
Kazooland was named for the mentor of David Bennett, Bunny Bennett, Jon Sprague, Erin Burke, and Bryan Barbarin, Mr.Jerry Hager's mime persona: Kazoo the Mime
By 1897, Peter Walter had unlocked the power of Blue Matter and   subsequently, created an alternate reality he dubbed   Kazooland.
Excerpt from The Story of the Cavalcadium
The Cavalcadium tried to  make a permanent portal to Kazooland in their building, based on Peter Walter I’s studies.
The  Cavalcadium was wiped from existence in an instant, and it took Peter  a few months to realize it had simply vanished. Time and space itself  left a void to forget it ever was.     
The  Cavalcadium building now exists in the seams of Kazooland, and acts  as a hub to many other parts of the dimension. A few doorways even exist on Earth.          
Current link to the map of Kazooland: https://www.thecavalcadium.com/Kazooland.html
Tumblr media
Information available about Kazooland as late as 2014
  Asininia*             The dark kingdom of Ignatius Becile. Long having taken refuge from Earth, the   black-handed Becile has built a giant city which is depleting Asininia of its   natural resources and precious rock candy veins. His aim is creating an   unstoppable army of candy-powered automatons to consume the universe.
*name is derived from “asinine”
The 8th Dimension of Absolute and Infinite Terror           The only persistent door to the  terrible 8th dimension. Its history is unclear but it is indeed locked and guarded by Jumbo, The Pink Whale With A Top  Hat.* The 8th dimension is notorious for being the place of fermenting  nightmares and evil Lovecraftian Beasts.
*Jumbo can be found in the album The Vice Quadrant, guarding Commander Cosmo and The Necrostar
Horroria
A jagged mountain range of ash and  death, which is primarily a refuge for monsters. A couple of human  settlements exist, but the majority of inhabitants of the continent  are Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Zombies, Witches, Cultists,  Poltergeists, Man-Eating Hamburgers, and Hamburger-Eating Men.
Hypexion V     
A presumed alien homeworld of the  Hypexions; thin bipedal humanoids with a sweet tooth.
Ironically Foreboding Shaped Islands     
The Chaos Sea marks these bodies of  land as a legend, but time travelers and fortunate explorers speak of  adventurous sailors, pirates, and buried treasure. It is  believed the famous Captain Albert Alexander was the first to have  sailed the Chaos Sea, yet only stories remain.
Lola     
The Hypexion Moon infested with the  diabolical Moon Worms. The Moon Worm Queen is held responsible for  eating a chunk of Hypexion V before she was destroyed, but a newly  born Moon Worm Queen is the talk among the stars. The   talking stars of course.
Lotsasand     
An ancient dust land belonging to the  ancestors of the Kingdom of Set. Though primarily a land for the  outsourcing of dust and camels, the age old tales of Jackal Men,  Living Mummies, and Scarab People still invoke questions of mysticism  in even the most skeptical of skeptics.
Meh     
An icy northern land of Snow Queens and  Mystical Creatures. Many a wise pipe smoking old bearded man tell  stories about this enchanted place, but few are listened to.
Merveille
Merveille is the remains of the once  great Circus Empire, which exploded eons ago and left a watercolored  land of saturated imagination. The inhabitants are mostly the  Speechless Ones, also known as Mimes. It is often described as a  tangible dream, and artists from all over the multiverse have tapped  into its presence for inspiration and escape.
Cities:                    Bip
The capital of  Merveille was named after its founder, and is a favorite spot for  vacation for Peter Walter VI. It was also in Bip that the Great War of 1823 was ended by a mysterious mime with a magical  kazoo.
New Pieland    
Once a paradise of wilderness, pilgrims  from Old Pieland settled here declaring it New Pieland after their  former continent was completely devoured since it actually lived  up to its namesake. It was quite literally a giant land mass of flaky  crust with a warm gooey appley interior.
New Pieland is home to many American immigrants and many other multiverse settlers.  Humans, Robots, Clowns, Cat People, and Vleeds are just a few of the races you'll find in the melting pot which is New Pieland.
Cities:                    Biscuit Town
Biscuit Town is a famous small  mining town in the eastern part of New Pieland. It is home   primarily to clowns, wizards, and talking animals. Biscuit Town has   been run by Walter Robot The Jon until recently, and was the first  town in New Pieland to elect a robot for Mayor. Currently, in  the Jon's absence the Mayor's Assistant Boft is  struggling with the encroaching rogue nation of Asininia, a  resource-hungry super kingdom of mad scientists and candy-powered  androids.    Preferbia   This large sprawling landscape   of suburbia is a metropolis of 1950's ideals, where the  beautiful residents are protected from the ravages of time by a blue  matter rich force field over the city. Created by a visionary man  from Earth after slipping through an interdimensional rift, Howard  Lloyd saw the potential of the unstable rift and created what some  have called the 1950s utopia of mankind. Those who enter  the city rarely decide to leave the prospect of eternal youth, but  some do choose to escape Preferbia's roving gangs of fish mutants and  frequent attacks by the Hypexion Moon Worms.
Snornia
Snornia is the last remaining haven for  mystical beings. It is cut off from the rest of the world by a  vengeful Dragon God, but those who have seen it speak of a fantastical world of magic and danger, with princesses in towers,   dexterous elves making shoes, and six winged warlocks. Humans  who find ways to enter usually do so to train to become wizards or  dragons, but many are eaten by the Dragon God, and even more give up  and sail to Party Island.
South Adventurica
A largely unexplored tangle of   constantly transforming jungles, swamps, and plains unbound by  any mappable record of time. Adventurers have sought to unlock the   continent's mysteries for years, and its surprises still continue to   surprise avid surprise seekers. Dinosaurs, giant insects, carnivorous   plants, elementals, Forgotten Gods, Bobby Darin, and Santa Claus are   all said to live here, but the only proof of their existence are the   ravaged journals from explorers of the past...
And that captured dinosaur amusement  park off the coast.
Verk     
A rainy settlement of time travelers  from the 1890s. It is separated from the world by an ethereal mist of  aether called "Henry's Breath," long believed to be   generated by the fat ghost of England's Henry the 8th.  Most settlers began traversing the aether via multidimensional  travel from when Colonel P. A. Walter I discovered Blue Matter in  1896, but all matter of being from the multiverse seems to have  leaked through to embrace knowledge, Victorian style, and to tinker with steampunk abominations.
Cities:                    Dandyton
The Capital of Verk is a bustling city  of inventors, scientists, airship pilots, alchemists, airship pilots,  ghosts, and airship pilots. It is home to the Verk Dandy Candy  Factory, many airships, and the Verkian Rift, a dimensional  hub to countless other realities.

The Temecula Rift
Prior to the 2013 Walter Robotics Expo, an accident occurred while 26 y/o Peter Walter VI accidentally sealed a Blue Matter Rift that he was trying to open for high speed inter-dimensional travel between Earth and Kazooland.  The result was an explosion that singularly hit Peter Walter VI in his face.  He now wears an iconic keyhole mask to hide whatever the results of the explosion may have been.

Love Down the Line: Chapter 12
The last thing Indie musician Emma Swan needs is a gigantic wrench thrown in the workings of her biggest tour to date weeks before its launch.  When her backing guitarist that caused the problem says she has the perfect solution Emma is skeptical but left with little choice but to accept.  Unfortunately she isn’t really prepared for said solution to be former Rock Star and leading man of Emma’s teenage fantasies, Killian Jones.  With no other options and a month of performing across the country ahead of her Emma just hopes she doesn’t come to regret letting Killian onto her stage and into her life.
Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, Ch 5, Ch 6, Ch 7, Ch 8, Ch 9, Ch 10, Ch 11, AO3
~*CS*~
 Boston, June 8th
Emma shifted from foot to foot in front of the door marked 520.  It had taken her over a week to get her shit together and make the trip that she’d originally intended to make the morning after her show in Vancouver.  Of course that had been before her phone had blown up with calls and texts about Killian’s video, which had hit a million views before the sun had even risen.  It had also been before the small gaggle of paparazzi had grown to a crowd and forced her to use the same back door to leave the hotel that she’d used to enter it the night before.  Those were the excuses she told herself in the light of day.  She was much more honest with herself at three in the morning when she couldn’t sleep.
In the dead of night it was easy to admit that she was a fucking coward.  Killian had laid his heart bare for the entire world to see, and judge, and all she’d done was call her manager.  Granted she’d had to take a dressing down and listen to a frustrated rant meant for someone else but that was nothing compared to the self flagellation she’d been doing since she’d landed in Portland and driven north instead of heading south.  To add an extra layer to her guilt she watched Killian’s video two or three times a day and that didn’t even count how many times she only pulled up the song portion.  That, in the end, had been what decided it for her.
She’d tried finding the song on every streaming service and on every platform that sold downloads but it wasn’t anywhere.  For the entire week she’d checked every morning when she woke up and every night before she went to bed but the song only seemed accessible in the video he posted.  The temptation to illegally download it had crossed her mind once or twice but she’d been able to hold herself in check, mostly because she knew the audio quality would suck but even more so because it felt almost cowardly.  That that would be the thing to somehow tip off Killian that she would rather torture herself with a shitty copy of the song he wrote for her than to actually talk to him.
It took far too long for her to piece together that because it couldn’t be downloaded or streamed meant that he wasn’t making any kind of profit from it.  When she finally did she felt like her heart had been plucked out of her chest and was on the precipice of being ground into dust.  She’d been out the door and on her way to Boston within five minutes of her realization and long before she could talk herself out of it.
The four hour drive had given her plenty of time to think over some things.  How she felt about him, really, truly felt about him, for one.  While Killian had pretty much said that he loved her she wasn’t so sure that was what she was feeling in return.  She definitely liked him, a lot, so much so that the weeks since she’d practically ghosted him she’d grown used to the constant ache under her breastbone.  The restless nights and obsessing over his video seemed a bit much but she could easily admit to herself that she missed him.  It didn’t necessarily mean that she loved him, they’d really only been together for a matter of days after all.
Then there was the slight issue of what the hell she was going to say to him.  An apology was a given.  On the flight back to Portland from Vancouver she’d finally admitted to herself that she might have possibly, slightly overreacted when she’d heard about Killian’s record contract.  She wasn’t completely in the wrong, he had lied and hidden things from her, but she definitely could have at least listened to what he’d had to say.  That was another thing, she was going to keep her damn mouth shut after she apologized and let him say whatever it was that he needed to say to her.
Her planning and imagined conversations got her into Boston but once she’d parked her car she’d begun to worry.  There was every possibility that he’d refuse to speak to her, that he’d take one look at her darkening his doorstep and slam the door in her face.  He might not even open the door at all, just see her distorted image through the peephole and decide not to bother.  By the time she’d reached his apartment she’d worked herself up so much with the ‘what ifs’ that she couldn’t bring herself to even knock on the damn door.
She’d been psyching herself up for at least ten minutes, raising her fist in a burst of courage only to drop it as another wave of unease washed over her.  As she lifted her hand for the fifth or fiftieth time one of his neighbors slammed their door shut.  Startled, her knuckles tapped the door, softly but enough to make a definite sound.  Resigned and relieved she sucked in a deep breath and soundly knocked twice, stepping back quickly so if he did look through the peephole he’d clearly see that it was her on the other side.
For a few agonizing moments she stood, waiting.  The neighbor who had slammed their door passed her by, giving her a curious look but kept walking.  She briefly wondered if he knew he lived on the same floor as potential rock legend.  The thought fled her mind when she heard the slide of a lock disengaging and the door in front of her slowly opened.
She could tell that Killian hadn’t been sleeping as soon as he stepped into view, there were dark purple shadows under his eyes that hadn’t shown up in his video.  His hair was even more of a disheveled mess than it had been in the video too, and longer.  He was wearing a pair of thin blue flannel lounge pants and a threadbare grey t-shirt with a rip at the collar and a faded Led Zeppelin logo.  She’d never seen a more heartbreakingly beautiful sight.
“How-”
“Regina mostly,” she rushed to explain.  It was way easier to tell him how she found him instead of why she had wanted to, “Robin helped with the doorman though.”
“They’re old friends,” he murmured absently.  His gaze darted all over her, as if he couldn’t quite believe she was there, “Tuck put in a good word for me with the board when I decided to move here after rehab.  Why are you here Emma?”
She winced, “Can we, um, go inside.  I really don’t want to do this out here.”
Something flared bright in Killian’s eyes as his mouth tightened.  She almost expected him to cross his arms and refuse.  Saying everything she needed to say out in the hallway would have been embarrassing and awkward as hell but she was prepared to do it.  In fact, she realized she would do almost anything to just get him to give her a chance.  He must have seen that in her own eyes as he gave her a terse nod, stepping back into the apartment and opening the door wider for her to pass through.
As she walked by him she resisted the urge to reach out and brush her fingers against the back of his hand or worse, stop completely to wrap her arms around him and never let him go.  Every ounce of courage she’d lacked before was suddenly filling her from root to tip.  She was still nervous as hell but she wasn’t about to destroy everything for once and for all by chickening out at the last second.  If things didn’t go the way she wanted it wouldn’t be because she decided that giving up was easier than fighting them.
Her steps slowed to a stop as she fully stepped into the spacious apartment.  One of the living room walls was floor to ceiling shelves filled with books, cds, and vinyls while the second had an impressive entertainment system with a giant tv that had a soccer game frozen on its screen.  There was a cozy looking couch and matching chair facing it that broke up the space between the living room and breakfast bar and the kitchen.  What really caught her eye was the view from the sliding glass doors behind a round dining table that opened to a small balcony.  It wasn’t full dark but the facade of the State House was already lit, its golden dome gleaming dimly.
“Nice view,” she muttered quietly.
“You were more excited by the one in Malibu,” Killian said flatly, startling her as he stepped up beside her.  He gave her a wry grin, “Bit jumpy there, Swan?  Don’t worry I won’t bite.”
She turned fully towards him and held his gaze, “I’m more nervous than worried.”
A muscle in his jaw ticked but he didn’t look away.  After a moment he gave a small sigh and moved toward the kitchen.
“I’d offer you a stiff drink but chamomile will have to do.”
He brushed past her, moving into the kitchen.  When she didn’t move he huffed and pointed to one of the high backed stools tucked under the breakfast bar.  She gave him a small smile and when he turned his back to her to open a cupboard she shook her head at her nervousness.  Silently admonishing herself she sat down and watched him move around the space, a defensive set to his shoulders as he gathered the things for their tea and set an electric kettle to boil.  Once there was nothing left for him to fiddle with he turned back to her, leaning casually against the far counter and crossing his arms over his chest.
“So it took you ten days to ask Regina where to find me?” He asked in that same flat voice.
Despite his attempt to sound indifferent she could hear the hurt in his words.  As much as she knew her answer would only serve to harm him more she couldn’t lie to him.  There was enough of that between them already.
“I called her as soon as I finished watching your video-” she dropped her gaze to where her hands were folded on the bartop, not quite strong enough to watch him react to her answer, “ten days ago.”
Her confession was met with silence.  She could hear the water in the kettle start to boil and the gentle hum of the refrigerator but that was it.  After a few seconds of quiet torture she steeled herself and looked up, needing to know exactly how pissed he was at her.  What she saw didn’t disappoint.
He hadn’t moved an inch, still leaning against the counter but there was nothing casual about it.  Every one of his muscles were tense, his fingers digging into his bicep with enough force to turn them white while his eyes were two chips of ice, cold enough to burn as he stared her down.  She was almost relieved at seeing the signs of his anger, anything was better than the indifference he’d been displaying before.  The kettle clicked off but he showed no sign of noticing aside from the slight tightening of his jaw.
As he glared at her she tried not to let her own frustration and anger flare up.  There were still so many things that they needed to talk about and any one of them could have him throwing her out of the apartment.  She wasn’t about to be meek or amenable but she sure as hell wasn’t about to keep poking the beast that she’d awakened.
“Honey?” He growled.
She blinked, “Wha- what?”
“In your tea-” he uncrossed his arms and gestured to the mugs beside him, “Honey?”
“Um, yeah, that’s fine.”
He gave her a terse nod and began fixing their tea.  With his back turned to her she took a deep, calming breath.  She was no longer nervous, his reaction had been pretty much what she’d expected and that part was over with.  Instead a hollow ache of longing had settled in her chest.  There was nothing she wanted more than to talk like they used to, open and without pretense but also with a bit of teasing and flirting thrown in for good measure.
Killian topped his mug off with a splash of milk before turning and handing hers over.  It was a white mug with a line drawing of a guitar and the words ‘I’m a kettle head’ written over it.  She couldn’t help her snort of laughter at the sight of it.
“Something funny, Swan?” He asked with a raised brow, his cup of tea halfway to his lips.
She spun the mug so the graphic faced him, “Gag gift or did you buy this yourself?”
He rolled his eyes and took a sip of his tea but she could see his ears turning red.  She let her own eyebrow tick up as he swallowed, shaking his head.
“Gift from a fan, actually.  I made mention in an interview years ago that I enjoyed a good cup of tea in the afternoon.  I’m still receiving packages of tea and its related wares on a steady basis-” he tipped his head towards her mug, “That was one of the more clever ones.”
Spinning it back so she could grasp it by the handle she hesitated.  The opening was clear for her to start the conversation that needed to be had.  She knew she should take advantage of it but he was no longer glaring at her and she wanted to bask in the small reprieve she’d found herself in.  To prolong the moment she took a sip of her tea, humming at the soothing warmth and delicate flavor that danced over her tongue.  The corner of Killian’s mouth ticked up and her heart skipped a beat at the sight.
“Not as good as my hot chocolate but it’ll do,” she teased.
Emma knew she’d pushed his patience to its breaking point a half second too late.  Killian’s smile flared for a second before he pressed his lips together in a thin line and turned his gaze away from her.  Her own small grin slipped and she berated herself for expecting too much too soon.  She waited, quiet and still, until he looked back at her.
“I’m sorry.”
His eyes widened and he let out a little huff of surprise but she barreled on, needing to get it all out.
“I’m sorry for so many things, waiting ten days to show up, not calling the second I finished watching your video, blocking your number so you couldn’t call me, fighting with you when I answered Ruby’s phone-”
“Swan-”
“I get that you’re mad at me.  Good, you should be.  I was terrible to you and I know it’s no excuse but I was hurt and you lied to me, but I still should have given you a chance to explain-” she gave a little hiccuping laugh, “God, if you’d done that to me and showed up at my house I would have slammed the door in your face and been done with it.  And you?  You invited me in for tea?  Why?”
Killian shook his head with a huff.  She could see his smile threatening to break loose again and the sight mystified her.  He saw her bewilderment and pushed off the counter behind him with his hip, setting his mug in front of hers and leaned into her space, gently taking her hand in his.
“Don’t you know, Emma?” He asked, painfully earnest. “You said you watched the video, so you must know.”
“You’re mad at me,” she pointed out, even as she gripped his hand.
He tilted his head, considering her, “I am but that doesn’t change how I feel.”
“I’m not sure how I feel,” she confessed in a whisper, “I know I hated not talking to you late at night or being near you almost constantly but…”
She trailed off, unsure how to proceed without stoking either of their tempers again.  Killian’s thumb ran over the back of her hand, encouraging her, and she reveled in the feeling.  He gave her an encouraging nod and she took a fortifying breath.
“You lied to me-” he winced and tried to pull his hand from hers but she held on fast, “You lied and if whatever this is between us is going to work I need to know why.  I promise to actually listen this time.”
He gave her a pained smile, “And if you don’t like what you hear?”
“I won’t know until you tell me,” she countered softly.
“Alright,” he said with a nod, one that seemed more for himself than for her. “Alright, but can you promise me one more thing?”
“Anything,” she agreed quickly.
“No interruptions.  I think it’ll do us both good to have it all out in one go.”
She used her free hand to mime that she was locking her lips and throwing away the key.  He gave her a small snort of a laugh, no longer looking pained or apprehensive, which had been her goal.  As she gently squeezed his hand in encouragement she really hoped she’d be able to keep her promise.
Killian blew out a harsh breath and began, “Are you familiar with Cora Hart?”
Her eyebrows shot up and she bit the inside of her cheek to keep her mouth shut.  Cora Hart was the agent of all agents.  Her firm was the one every struggling artist wished would represent them because every one of their clients was a superstar or on their way to being one.  To be one of her personal clients was like getting a golden ticket to everlasting fame, fortune, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  However, it came with a price and Emma wasn’t entirely convinced that it wasn’t someone’s soul.  Plus Cora Hart was known by everyone in the industry as ‘that cold hearted bitch’.  It was an unpleasant surprise to hear her name coming from Killian’s lips.
“Yes, I can see that you are,” he sighed. “She’s my agent.”
She grimaced.  As much as she’d been prepared to hear it it still made her stomach drop.  There were only so many ways his story was going to go and she wasn’t sure she was entirely ready to hear it, but she would, because she promised.
“I’ve been with her since the beginning.  She found us playing at a small pub in Liverpool and snapped us up.  If it weren’t for her we’d probably still be playing pub gigs but only on weekends-” he gave her a wan smile that didn’t last long, “I owe a lot to that woman, not everything but enough to know not to question her decisions on where to take my career.  Even if I wanted to seek different representation she’s got me in an iron clad contract for at least three solo albums.”
“What?!”
She couldn’t help her outburst.  While it was normal for a record label to offer contracts like that, she’d signed one herself for that matter, she was pretty sure it wasn’t standard for an agent to do the same.  Then again she didn’t actually have an agent of her own.  Regina was an employee of her label and didn’t need a separate contract with her and seemed more than happy to take care of everything herself.  Emma thought that things had been working out alright, aside from the fiasco that had put her right where she found herself at that very moment.
“I have been bound by this contract for quite a while, Swan,” he said wryly. “Since even before the accident.”
“But that’s gotta be extortion or something, right?” She asked indignantly. “I mean, it’s been almost fifteen years!”
He gave her a warm look, “There are plenty of people who have been with their agents for much longer and I thought I said no interruptions, love.”
“Sorry,” she said sheepishly.
“Realm of Jewels made Cora a very rich woman and an equally hot commodity in the industry.  I had already planned to do a few solo albums and signed with her because she was someone I already knew.  Back then I thought three albums was nothing, I had written material for at least six,” he said with a shrug. “After the accident and pulling myself out of the bottle she was gracious enough to allow me to do whatever I needed to do to get my life back on track.  Even if it meant nothing more than doing recording sessions for other artists’ work.  Of course, her patience could only be pushed so far and I’m sure I’d far exceeded the limit.  She started not so gently reminding me of my contractual obligations about a year ago.
“At the time I figured I could piecemeal something together from my old lyrics and maybe a cover or two to get an album together.  It wouldn’t have been great, fair to middling if anything, but it would have been enough to satisfy Cora for the time being.  I wasn’t excited by the prospect and in the meantime I was still being hired for session recordings.  One of which was for your album.”
Emma smiled and ducked her head.  He’d made it sound like it was some great honor instead of a few hours work on a couple of songs.  She didn’t even get to choose the musicians that got to record, that was all left up to the label, though she did get final say on how it sounded.  That didn’t mean to say she hadn’t gone back to listen to those backing tracks almost as much as the song he’d written for her.
“It was the day we were recording for Snowdrops and Buttercups that I first met Regina.  It just so happened to be the same day that Cora had come to the studio to once again remind me of my obligations.  What I wasn’t aware of was the fact that Cora is Regina’s mother-” Emma’s head shot up at that and he nodded, “Whatever you do try to avoid being in the same room as them, especially when business is involved.  I left the studio that day with my three album contract inexorably attached to the record label that Regina represented.  There was also the small inconvenience of a series of deadlines being imposed.  The first of which was having enough songs written to begin recording an album within six months.  When Ruby called about needing a replacement I had about two months left to put something recordable together.”
Emma bit her lip.  It was getting harder and harder to keep her comments and questions to herself.  Especially with the bomb he’d dropped about Regina and Cora.  She decided to take a sip of her tea instead.  Before her mug even made it to her lips Killian was grinning widely at her.
“Go ahead, love,” he said with a bow of his head.
She slammed her mug down, splashing tea over her hand.  With a hiss she shook off the droplets impatiently, ignoring Killian’s outstretched hand, not wanting to be deterred.
“Cora the heartless is Regina’s mother?!  And if you had only two months to write an entire album why the hell were you allowed to come on tour with me?  Is that why you had that lunch with Robin and Regina?  For the album?  Why didn’t you tell me all of this already?”
Killian’s expression immediately dropped into one of regret as she sat back, stunned at her directness.  She absentmindedly rubbed at the reddened spot on the back of her hand that the tea had spilled on.  The lingering pain was an excellent distraction from the tension that had sprung up between them.  With a click of his tongue Killian moved to the sink, wetting the corner of a dish rag.  When he turned back to her he paused and she gave him a nod, holding out her hand to him hoping he would see it as the olive branch she was offering.
“At first it didn’t seem as though it would be an issue,” he said quietly as he gently pressed the rag to her burn, “You only needed a temporary guitarist and as I mentioned earlier I had dozens of notebooks already filled with lyrics that would suffice.  Regina was the one who scheduled the meeting with Robin as soon as I was officially attached to the tour.  I believe her intention at the time was for me to hand over the completed songs and get the ball rolling as it were.  She, of course, had no idea that you and I would become what we did.”
“Did you, um, have any idea?” She asked hesitantly, dropping her gaze to where his hand was still holding the damp cloth to the back of hers.
He used his other hand to tip up her chin and looked her in the eye, “I’d hoped but I could never be quite sure how you felt.  Until Chicago.”
She wanted to confess that her hopes had started long before Chicago.  That he had somehow snuck past her defenses into her heart with his charm and unwavering support but she couldn’t.  He still hadn’t answered the question that mattered most to her.  With a sigh she pulled away from his gentle touch.
“I still don’t understand why you didn’t tell me any of this,” she said a bit sharper than she intended, her frustration and confusion bleeding into her tone. “We talked for hours on that damn bus.  I listened to you talk about how much better felt tip pens are than ball points three separate times!  Was it really so hard to say ‘by the way, Swan, I’ve signed with your manager and have to get an album written while we’re on the road’?”
He let out a heavy breath and ran a hand through his hair, “I didn’t want to upset you.”
“And look where that got you,” she said with a humorless chuckle waving her hand between them. “If you’d said something off the bat I would have been pissed at you for, like maybe a week, and I also wouldn’t have gotten my heart broken.”
Emma froze.  She hadn’t meant to make that confession, especially when she wasn’t even one hundred percent sure what it was she felt for him.  Killian seemed caught off guard too, as he stood staring at her with wide eyes and not appearing to breathe.  He blinked and closed the small distance between them but made no move to touch her.
“I’m glad to hear it,” he murmured.
“You’re glad to hear I got my heart broken?” Her voice cracked and she pulled as far back from him as she could.
“If it can be broken, it means it still works,” he said softly but she could hear the hope in his words all the same. “I know I hurt you immeasurably, love, and I’ve earned no right to a second chance but if you can see it in you to do so I’ll gladly spend the rest of my days earning your back your trust and, perhaps in time, your heart.”
“Killian…”
“Finish your tea, Swan,” he said with a tight smile though his eyes were sparkling with the same hope she’d heard, “Don’t want it to get cold.”
She stared down at the amber liquid and watched the curling tendrils of steam as though they’d give her some kind of sign of what to do.  They didn’t, of course, not that she really believed it would be that easy.  There were still so many questions she wanted to ask but only one really mattered.  Guarding herself against a final blow she looked up at him with determination.
“Were you ever going to tell me about any of it?  Or was it always your plan for me to find out from someone else?”
Killian jolted back, as though she’d slapped him.  He shook his head with a sigh before running a hand over his face.  When he caught her eye again the hope had been replaced with pain and a flash of the anger she’d thought was behind them.
“I’d intended to tell you everything the night of the interview over the dinner we were supposed to share at my home.  I suppose it was fortuitous that I’d listened to it or I would have sat with our meal laid out on the table, waiting for hours for your arrival.  As it was I had to endure one of Regina’s assistants traipsing through the house, gathering your items and ignoring my pleas to explain what the hell was going on.  Then, of course, there was to be no explanations forthcoming for nearly three days and absolute devastation once I’d received them.  But after all that my feelings for you never changed, not once.”
Emma sucked in a breath at that.  Even as he was justifiably dressing her down for what she’d done he was still playing it safe.  He’d never stated outright what he felt for her but she knew without a doubt what he wasn’t saying.  Funny thing was, his caution made her realize exactly what she felt for him with startling clarity.  She gave a little laugh that bordered on manic but she was helpless against the sudden euphoria she was feeling.
Killian glared at her, “I won’t have you laughing-”
“I love you.”
The words seemed to hang between them in the quiet kitchen like a line cast out to the unknown.  She could only hope that Killian would grasp onto them and tether her heart to his.  As the silence stretched out she found she only wished she had told him sooner instead of dragging out both their heartaches.  Shaking her head at her own stubborn foolishness she gave him a tremulous smile.
“I love you and I’m sorry.  I was trying so hard to protect myself from getting hurt again that I just hurt us both so much more instead.  I’m so tired of feeling like I tore a piece of my own heart out.  You said your feelings haven’t changed.  I want this.  I want us.  Do you?”
Instead of answering her with words Killian moved at a speed that surprised her.  Almost before she had finished the question he was standing in front of her, his arms bracketing her with his hands on the back of the chair and the counter.  His expression was deadly serious but his eyes were lit with joy as he leaned into her space.
“Swan, I want nothing more.”
Her smile was cut off by his lips pressing to hers.  She gasped as one of his hands delved into her hair while the other banded around her waist, his thumb stroking at the skin above the waistband of her jeans.  It was as if he was pouring every emotion into the kiss.  His passion, his elation, his fervor, and most of all his love.  With a moan she pulled him impossibly closer, hooking her ankles around the back of his legs to draw him in.
To her surprise he broke away, leaning his forehead against hers, breathing heavily, “There’s one last thing that needs to be said.”
“Now?” She panted, arching up slightly to nip at his lower lip. “Can’t it wait?”
“Not really,” he groaned.  He kissed the corner of her mouth, then her cheek, sliding his mouth to her ear where he quietly sang to her, “But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say, My love, I'm in love with you.”
Tears welled in her eyes as he pulled back, looking at her as though she was the best thing that had ever happened to him.  He gently brushed away the few tears that had fallen with a finger, following closely behind with soft kisses that travelled across her cheeks, leaving her wanting more.  By the time he moved to her mouth the heat between them had returned but she leaned back before he could press more than one delicate kiss to her lips.
“Emma,” he growled, his hand flexing on the back of her neck, his eyes hot.
“You know, you never gave me a tour of the place-” she gave him a teasing smile and gave an exaggerated look around, “I bet there’s all sorts of interesting rooms.”
He caught on quickly, his smile unfurling into something wicked, “Indeed there are, my love.  Shall we begin with the bedroom?”
He didn’t give her the chance to answer as he swiftly pulled her up from her chair and tugged her quickly down the hallway.
Much, much later Emma was seated back at the breakfast bar in nothing but her underwear and Killian’s Led Zeppelin shirt.  Her feet were perched in Killian’s lap, which was covered by dark blue boxer briefs that he’d only pulled on when the pizza they’d ordered had arrived.  She tried to smother a giddy grin behind her crust but he caught sight of it and raised a brow at her.
“Something you’d like to share, Swan?”
“I’m just-” she gave a little shrug, “happy.  I guess I’m still trying to process it.”
“I know what you mean, love,” he agreed, his hand dropping to her ankle to give it a squeeze. “If someone had told me yesterday that we would be here tonight, like this, I wouldn’t have believed them.  Now, if they’d predicted us reconciling by the end of the week I wouldn’t have questioned it.”
“No?” She asked, humming in pleasure at the confidence in his voice.
“You’re not the only one who can wheedle an address out of Regina,” he said with a wink.  Then he grew serious, “If I hadn’t heard from you by the end of the week I was planning on driving up to Maine to plead my case.”
“I’m surprised she gave it to you,” she mumbled around a bite of her crust. “She was all worried about you breaching your contract because of deadlines two weeks ago.  A side trip to Maine would definitely eat into your studio time or something.”
“Oh-” Killian scratched behind his ear and then said offhandedly, “I’ve, er, been in breach of my contract since I posted that video, love.”
Her last bite fell from her fingers as she gaped at him.  A flush was rising along the back of his neck and he gave her a sheepish smile.
“What?”
“Well, according to some of the very fine print in it I was forbidden from releasing any music by means other than through the label-” he shrugged and waved a hand as though dismissing the seriousness of the situation, “My lawyer assures me that at most I’ll only have to pay a minimal fine.”
“Pay a…” she brought her palms to her temples, “Killian that’s still going to be thousands of dollars.”
“I would have posted a hundred unsanctioned songs and paid every cent I have to my name just to get you to talk to me again,” he said matter of factly.  He leaned over and plucked the piece of crust from her lap, tossing it into the open pizza box before fixing her gaze with his, “And it would have been worth it.  You are worth everything.”
She dropped her hands with a huff, “Stop being romantic when I’m worrying about you.”
“Never,” he said with a wide grin that made his eyes crinkle. “And you don’t need to worry about me, Swan, I’m a survivor.”
“I love you,” she said with a shrug, “I’ll always worry about you.”
His grin mellowed into something that made her feel warm and cherished.  He leaned over and grasped her stool, dragging it towards him until the already small distance between them was narrowed so only a puff of air could pass through.  She gave a wayward thought to the state of his floors at the abuse they suffered but it vanished as his hand came up to cup her jaw, his thumb drawing a delicate arc across her cheekbone.
“I love you too,” he murmured just above a whisper, his eyes intent on hers, “I always will.”
Her happy sigh was swallowed by his lips on hers.  The kiss was far more gentle than any of the others they had shared, even the ones from before their separation.  With a slight thrill she realized that they would have hundreds, even thousands, more kisses of all sorts in the years to come.  As they parted she couldn’t help her giddy smile at the thought.
Killian raised his brow at her, his gaze teasing, “Already, Swan?  We’ve only just surfaced.”
“What?  No!” She laughed, pushing him back, “I mean, yeah but not like that.  I was thinking about us kissing but years from now kind of kisses.”
“Years from now,” he repeated in awe.  He leaned back towards her, “I like the sound of that.”
“Me too,” she sighed.  Then she crinkled her nose at him, “Even if I do end up supporting you because you have to keep paying fines since you’re a big YouTube star now.  I know how you guys gotta keep posting content.”
“Har, har, love.  Just so you know, Cora has already spun this in my favor,” he said smugly. “She’s convinced the label that it’s the perfect way to garner attention for my forthcoming album.  Which is why I’ll only be paying a minimal fine instead of what it easily could have been.”
Emma sat back, “So you’re still going to do it?  Record the album?”
“Not exactly, no,” he said with a crooked smile, “The songs I was planning on recording before are, quite honestly, rubbish.  I’ve had a wellspring of inspiration these past few weeks.  Robin is quite pleased with them as a matter of fact and he’s not hold back over the years when something of mine is only worthy of a bin.  I’ll be heading to the studio once the whole contract debacle is taken care of.  That is, of course, only if you agree.”
“Agree to what?” She asked, confused.
“The songs, my love-” he dropped his eyes for a moment and when he looked back up his gaze was wary, “You, us, what we’ve been through?  Well… you know.”
And she did.  She’d written dozens of songs about the man who’d left her in jail and pregnant and just as many about her lonely childhood in foster care.  There was more than one notebook filled with longing ballads about the son she’d never even held.  Hell, the notebook in her purse was pages of scribbles and half formed lyrics about Killian and their time together.  So she knew exactly what he was getting at.  She also had one niggling thought about it.
“Yeah, I do,” she said with a slow nod.  Reaching towards him she took his hand between hers, “I think you should record the songs you’ve written, even the ones that I know don’t paint me in the best light, but I do have one request.”
“Anything,” he breathed, his hand flexing in hers.
“I don’t want to hear any of them until the final mix-” she let go of his hand to cover his mouth as he tried to protest, “No, hear me out first.  I’m sure the songs are good, great even since Robin is excited about them, and that’s exactly why I want to wait to hear them.  I know how much work goes into making an album and thanks to Ruby you know exactly how big a fan I am of your music.  I just- I think I want to have that giddy moment listening to your first big solo album as the finished thing.”
Killian tugged her hand away from his lips and gave her a wry grin, “So you want to enjoy the sausage without seeing all the unappetizing steps of how it gets made?”
“Uh, weird analogy but yeah,” she said, relieved that it hadn’t caused another fight, “I wouldn’t mind seeing the pigs before slaughter though.”
“So you’ll berate me for the initial analogy but then proceed to take it to a much darker place.  I see how your mind works, Swan,” Killian said with narrowed eyes and a look of mock sternness.
“I work with what I’m given,” she said with a shrug.
Killian huffed out a laugh before he grew serious, taking the hand that was still in his and placing them both over his heart, “You can look at every song I’ve ever written, love.  Even the shit ones from primary school.”
She gave him a smile she knew was giddy, “Oh, I definitely want to look at those but I think for now I’ll stick to your most recent ones.”
“Wise decision,” he murmured,half rising from his stool, “Shall I go get them now?”
“No, it’s late, I can look at them tomorrow-” she flexed her fingers on his chest and when he looked back at her she tried to let him see every ounce of love she was feeling, “I’m not going anywhere.”
His smile unfurled slowly but adoration and love was bright in his eyes, “Good.”

Could you do “Pull over, let me drive for a while?” For Chrisse?
6:00 p.m 
“There is a lot of fucking corn in America.” 
Clarisse paused her audio book and looked at Chris, who was just staring at the walls of corn surrounding their car. 
They had spent most of the day driving, trying to get to their next stop before it got too dark, but they still had three hours to go. The sun was already starting to set over what could only be described as a shit ton of corn. 
“Yeah, that’s pretty much all these middle bits are,” she said, relaxing back into her seat. “And I told you that when you suggested a cross country road trip to see national parks and road-side attractions.” Clarisse had family in Phelonix, St. Louis, and New Orleans, and had spent plenty of time on long car rides getting between branches of the La Rue tree. Chris had grown up flying between Michigan and Long Island. For a son of the god of travel, he hadn’t gotten out much. 
“I stand by this idea,” Chris said. “The world’s largest ball of paint was absolutely worth it. I’m just observing that there is a lot of corn.” 
“Should I be concerned about how much you enjoyed that ball of paint?” She asked. 
“There are just so many metaphorical resonances! I mean, you go in, you help paint a layer, and it’s like, how did that add to the ball at all? Your contribution is microscopic, and someone tomorrow is only going paint over your mark, and it’ll seem like your presence in that place has been erased, but it hasn’t! Because even though your mark is gone, and it never seemed to do much in the first place, you helped add to the world’s largest ball of paint! Even if no one will remember you did that! It’s beautiful!” 
Clarisse smiled. “Yeah, but didn’t you just want to crack it open and see what it looked like on the inside?” 
“Oh my god,” Chris said, “so, so, much.” 
6:30 p.m 
“I spy with my little eye -”
“Is it corn?”
“Yeah, it’s corn.” 
7:00 p.m 
“So we should reach the Badlands tomorrow,” Clarisse said, looking over their itinerary. “We got a few days hiking there, then it’s off to Montana.” 
“I think we are going to love Montana” Chris said. 
“It’s big sky country,” Clarisse said, smiling at him. 
“Pretty sure whatever state we’re in is just big corn country,” Chris winged, squinty furiously at the corn that had not let up for hours. 
7:30 p.m 
“Do you think we’ll ever end up living in a place like this?” He asked. 
She shook her head. “You have spent the last two hours complaining about corn, I have very little tolerance for the cold, and we are both very ... peculiar people. I don’t think we were meant for small town America.” 
Chris nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. It’s nice for a visit though.” 
“Aw, are you starting to like the corn?” She teased him. 
“Well, you know they say that if you stare at something long enough, you’ll fall in love with it.” 
She laughed. “Well then pull over and let me drive for a while so you can rest your eyes. I don’t need you trying to seduce a corn stalk by the time this trip is over.” 
Chris laughed as he pulled the car over. “Don’t worry, I’d never break up with you for a corn plant.” They got out of the car and switched seats. “But how opposed would you be to scarecrow roleplay?” 
Clarisse paused for a moment, before looking at him, more curious than uncomfortable. “Who would be the scarecrow?” 
Chris laughed. “Would it change the answer?” 
“No, but now I want to know!” 
“Well, I hadn’t thought that far ahead in my little joke, but now that you’ve asked: you can be the scarecrow, I want to be Dorthy.” 
Clarisse rested her head on the steering wheel. “Oh god! You’ve made this some weird Wizard of Oz thing now?” 
“Hey, you asked!” 
“You answered!” 
“Ah! Double standards!” 
Clarisse laughed as she started the car. 
“You can’t blame me for thinking about the Wizard of Oz,” Chris said, trying to defend himself, “we’ve been in Kansas for like 12 hours.” 
“Oh honey, we were in Kansas yesterday. We spent most of today in Nebraska, but we are well into South Dakota now.” 
Chris covered his face with his hands, laughing. “You know geography is my Achilles Heal! And all these states look the same!” 
Clarisse kept driving. The sun was setting quickly now, and they still had an hour and half to go. “And to think that two weeks ago I was worried we’d run out of things to talk about.”

When is your birthday?: March 7th!
Where do you live?: The UK (unfortunately)
Three things you’re doing right now: Listening to a Doctor Who audio drama, eating chocolate I got for Christmas and messing about on the internet
Four fandoms that have piqued your interest: Doctor Who (obviously), Steven Universe (also obviously), Bee & Puppycat and even if I’ve been much more on-and-off with it this year I’m definitely still into South Park
How has the pandemic been treating you?: Not the worst in some ways bc my parents have been able to put me up and financially support me, but I’ve only been able to find work for pretty brief periods, I can’t reallly move out and I really, really miss getting to see my friends and go to cons and stuff. So like, financially not too bad but psychologically pretty bad :(
A song you can’t stop listening too right now: Stripsearch by Faith No More
How old are you: 23, gonna be 24 in March and god I feel old whenever I remember that
School, university, occupation, other: Well I kinda have a job- I’ve been doing freelance writing, and I’ve started helping run the social media and produce resources for a charity. I really hope once Covid finally blows over I can go and get a job that involves interacting with people irl again though
Are you shy?: It kinda depends how comfortable I am around someone, if I know someone well rarely ever but if not (or if I’m worried I upset them) I clam up big time
Pronouns: They/them
Biggest pet peeves: I guess the main one that really gets to me is people being condescending about people who like stuff they don’t. You’re not an inherently better person because you don’t like Hamilton or whatever mate
What is your favourite ‘dere’ type?: I literally had to look up what they all are and ig I’ll go with nyandere cause cats are neat :p (I did have a big Mirai Nikki phase but honestly it was in spite of Yuno always trying to kill Yukki iirc, so I can’t really say yandere)

What’s your main blog: this one! I don’t really do side blogs lol
List your side blogs and what they’re for: like I said I only have a main
Is there something people need to know about you before becoming friends?: Well the obvious one is if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable, please tell me so I don’t keep doing it. Don’t try and shittalk things I like to me or tell me I shouldn’t like them, or my opinion of you will go into freefall. And since I like a lot of stuff that’s kinda Problematic (tm), I’d appreciate if you ask me not to talk about or reference things you don’t like to you if it makes you uncomfortable so we can focus on stuff we both like talking about instead, I don’t mind at all!
I tag @thepaledivinebear @reesecomic13 @pablothefrog @ness-marsh @minervas-sandwich @ninjacupcake @bi-lars and anyone else who wants to do this! c:
