20. What items could you not go without during the day? my computer. my book. my journal and a pen. My phone. My journal (b/c I write in it every night, as a diary, 14yo Linda wrote stories). Uh. I didn’t take food or drinks into account in the og, so I won’t in those. But, yeah. My phone & journal. I can go a day without my laptop if I need to. (Went the whole trip in July without pulling it out, though maybe that’s not a good example since my anxiety on that trip was so high..) I want to say a book, but I’ve been in a massive reading slump so...I wish I read as much as 15yo Linda did..

(Minus Alex, b/c they were here in July to cat/house sit, but I saw them for like, one night..) There’s a lot that could be better. A lot that could be worse. 

24. Do you hate anyone? yes!!! Oof. I mean, kinda.

OF CRYSTAL ROSES (EXTENDED AUTHOR’S NOTE OF CHAPTER VI. OF CASTLES)

-- TO READ THE CHAPTER ITSELF, SEE HERE ON AO3 --

well, well, well. here we are. spoiler alert, gryffindors make plans they don’t stick to, lolz. all the good intentions in the world, i had. study, i said i would. yet, here were find ourselves, eighteen thousand words later. this appears to be how i roll. slept about five hours last night, too, so apologies if i’m slightly non-sensical/rambly. this chapter ought to be sponsored by deliveroo and teapigs tea, a brand of tea that appeared in my local supermarket a few moths ago and that i steadily refused to buy because - can tea really be worth this much? low and behold, once you’ve tried it once, it appears to be addictive. i’ve, while writing this chapter, worked my way through about four packs of their different teas - they are just this good. i have a job interview tomorrow so wish me luck in gaining employment which will hopefully fund my expensive habits.

now, before we get into the nitty gritty of the chapter, itself, i just needed to say this: i cannot thank everyone enough for the incredible response on last chapter. i’d kind of grown accustomed to getting a couple of reviews for each of them and to writing in my little corner of the internet but boy, you guys are bloody legends! i am so overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who commented, kudo-ed and generally gave love to this fic in general. i really didn’t expect such a response and it’s meant the world to me. i think it’s probably also the reason why i’m posting so early because i kept being like, god, i can’t leave this many people waiting in this cliffhanger hell. i think this chapter ends on a more positive note (although, i’ll let you judge), one that might be more conducive of a few weeks’ wait (more on that below), haha.

this being said, as i explained on here before, i come from very tiny fandoms where basically everyone knows each other and the number of people reading would usually fit in my flat. the fact that over 80 people are now subscribed to this fic just blows my fucking mind. you’re all magnificent and i love you. i try to respond to all the comments so let’s keep chatting if you feel like it (although, no pressure - comment if you want to, but do know that it makes me very happy when you do :)). you’re all fabulous and i wish you all the best!

anyway, spoilers for castles, chapter vi under the cut.

guys, guys, guys, i am so tired. i’ve spent four days editing almost 20,000 words and my brain is fried. but, we are officially at the halfway point of this story, yaaaay!!! my plan, at this point, is that we’ll have six chapters on each side but even if i do end up splitting this one later (more on this below) i’ll end up with seven chapters on each side so either way - yay to the end of act 1!

i think that’s also why i tried to turn this chapter around this quickly. to me, i always kind of saw this fic as having two parts. part 1: the immediate post-war aftermath with the heartache and the love-fast/burn-fast start to harry/ginny. part 2: a slow and actually healthy rebuild of their relationship, and of the world around them. i have genuinely been writing towards that last harry/ginny scene in this chapter for months. it feels like such a relief to finally have that weight off my shoulders. and i actually do think it’ll allow me to focus on study later. act one is finished, and act two can wait a bit, i suppose.

now, obviously, given that i already apologised last time, part of me still wants to apologise for the length of this chapter, even more so, actually. it sits at about 18,000 words which, by nanowrimo’s standards, is over a third of a full book, wtf. yet, you guys also said last time that you didn’t actually mind long chapters, so perhaps i shouldn’t beat myself up too much?

as i said in the a/n, this is a little bit of different set up than chapter v. though. i know exactly where to split this. as you’ve probably seen by now, there’s a very natural split point after harry has his breakdown on the couch with ginny, before Christmas properly "starts." the reason i didn’t split this one there, though is: a) selfish: i needed to get this out. stop working on it. i need to study. when it’s out, i’m not thinking about it anymore. it would have been a bit non sensical to split this just for the sake of it and post two chapters at once, which means i probably would have held onto the second part for another couple of weeks, and fuck that. additionally, b) you may not have noticed this but: the chapter titles rhyme. why did i bring this additional difficulty upon myself, i do not fucking know. especially because i will soon run out of one-word construction materials to draw from, lol. as a result, though, i need an even number of chapters to close out this story and because i’m sort of planning six chapters from now to the end (more on that below) i can’t really split this one right now. like, if i end up with another overlong chapter in the next few months, i probably will take that opportunity and go back and split this one, just for readability. but at this stage, at this stage, because i don’t know how many chapters i’ll have for act two (six or seven), i’m keeping this chapter like this for the time being. i kind of hope i end up with seven chapters on the other side and am able to split this one down the line, but we will see. in the meantime, my most sincere apologies to the folks who read fanfiction before bed and it’s now 4 am by the time you’ve finished this. i’ve been there before, believe me.

from a personal standpoint, though, i have to say, this chapter (compared to the last one) was incredibly easy to write. i think i’d spent so much time imagining and writing these scenes in my head as kind of a culminating point for the first half of the story, that it quite simply poured out. i did have a little bit of an everything is shit crisis yesterday and today, but sure look, that always happens. overall, i am quite happy - i think - with the end result.

now, when i say "easy to write" i mean, technically, easy to find words to write down what was in my head. i do not mean: easy to write on an emotional level. oh boy. i’m generally not a crier. i have been asked, a number of times, by people who said my writing made them cry: do you cry when you write, too? and my answer was always ‘no’. i don’t judge, but i’m just not that kind of person. i know people who cry every day but personally, we are in the middle of a pandemic, my father recently passed away, i’ve lost my job and am studying for an exam my life is pretty dependent upon, and i haven’t cried in months. yet, i swear, there were a couple of times, both writing this and editing it, when i had to step away from the screen because i could feel a lump in my throat. that had never happened to me before. i didn’t, like, bawl or anything but god i felt it. i don’t know if it’s because it’s my first time killing an oc, someone who was really mine but boy. giulia. i kept trying to find ways not to kill her, or apologising to her. to me, she’s tom’s last victim and that really, fucking hurts. if you’re hurting too, i don’t really know what to tell you. i’m sorry, i suppose. her death was needed for … plot purposes, lol. god, i’m the worst haha.

re:harry/ginny: i must say i really like where they end up, at the end of this. i had planned this to a certain extent. i was always under the impression that they would talk over christmas, but not get back together. however, the reason why they weren’t getting back together, in my head, was initially quite different. i initially didn’t have ginny dating someone else. i think i mentioned i was toying with the idea in the a/n for last chapter, but at the time i wasn’t truly sold on it. then, i ended up writing the scene i’d originally planned for them and it didn’t quite fit. what i’d planned, at the time, felt rather ooc for ginny when actually on paper. on the other hand, harry, under my fingertips, kept trying to kiss her and i kept hitting the delete button. i swear, i know it sounds weird to people who might not be writers but sometimes, your characters really do seem to have their own agendas. when i caved, let him kiss her, then the scene took on a different meaning, and, i hope, a better one. i think something clicked there and it feels like a good place for act one to end. obviously, they’ll get back together cause this follows cannon so you know, not much suspense there. it’s more about the how than the what, to me.

re:ginny’s letters: this idea came to me a while ago, actually. i was thinking that they’d need to talk about what happened last year, but i was kind of struggling on the how. having character a tell a story to character b is always a bit difficult, in writing, because it can quickly end up being boring. like, when ginny tells harry about christmas last year and lupin, in this chapter, telling that in dialogue is already rather long an laborious, and it’s overall such a short story. for harry, it’s easy. i’m in his head so he can just say ‘he told her about the hallows’ and the dialogue can be about their reaction, rather than the events itself. but ginny, she needs to share facts, as well as feelings. and doing that through long monologues just didn’t appeal. first, it’s quickly boring and second, it’s also kind of ooc. she’s not giulia, you see.

i did entertain the idea of completely skimming past it. ‘she told him about last year and he was horrified.’ - moving on. but, i don’t know, that didn’t feel quite right either, because i think they need to exchange, and talk, and that just felt like a copout. also, to be honest, it’s a very difficult story to tell. like, i’ve seen people in fics being like ‘so, harry sat down all of the weasleys and told them everything the trio did in seventh year,’ and i’m like that’s so difficult, though. sitting someone down and telling them all about your trauma, with little preamble, just setting it all out there, i can’t imagine ginny (or, frankly, most people) actually doing that, you know? we reveal bits of ourselves bit by bit, not all at once.

then, it hit me: she’s a writer, isn’t she? at least, she is canonically in first year, with not only the diary but also the poems, then writing for the prophet. obviously, the diary thing would have riled her up a bit but i do think in the end, she would probably have been like: no, i won’t let him take writing away from me, you know? so yeah, letters. daily letters. you won’t see all of them in next chapter, but probably quotes from the most important ones, things that harry reads. that’s where he gets his facts about her story last year, and then they can focus on their feelings about it. fab! something to look forward to, haha.

now, re: the future. as i said, we are entering act two. act two will gradually become more "fun" and fluffy, i suppose, but i won’t lie, we will be keeping the same happy/sad vibe that a lot of you have commented on with this fic. it exists for a reason (as i said, life is about sex, but it’s also about funerals). as i said before, this fic is, above all, an exploration of what ‘all was well’ actually means.

this being said, this isn’t an 8th year fic. there is a very specific future pov from which this fic is being narrated, and that’s in october 2027 (i know, precise). obviously i have 28 years to get through in act two so that will affect the way that the timeline is designed. it will obviously be more spread out, especially in the later chapters. this being said, while i have about a million of ideas for all the space in between and a very clear view of what the last chapter will be, the exact layout of each chapter is still slightly blurry. i haven’t sat down to put all my ideas in chronological order yet, as well as into some sort of chapter structure, which is also why i can’t really tell if it’ll be six or seven chapters in the end. all of this to say, there’s still quite a bit of work to be done.

this means that, as i said in the a/n, i don’t think you’ll get next chapter until at least, may. please don’t think that this means i’ll be abandoning this fic or anything, it’s just that i’ll be doing work you probably won’t see. i’m probably going to take the rest of march off writing to study (bar maybe a roar-series Harry&Hermione friendship one shot? maybe) then take april to plan and write as much of the next chapters i possibly can. ideally, by the end of april i can have a first draft of the whole thing. i desperately want to write as much as i can now that I’m jobless in the hopes that when i do find a job (again, interview tomorrow, pray for me), i can just have editing to do at the weekends. but we all know i relate to harry on a very deep level when he says ‘when have our plans ever worked, anyway?’ so we will see, haha.

anyway, these were all the thoughts off the top of my head, re: this chapter. if you have any questions or other things you’d like me to ramble about, feel free to send in questions, my ask box is always open. i know i probably think about this fic (and hp) way too much but i’m an extrovert and my hobbies used to include travelling, pints at the pub, dating and, well, there’s none of that anymore, is there, lol? the uk has stolen our vaccines (fucking brexit) so here’s to being obsessed with fictional worlds i wish i could live in for a while longer,

i will now go and endlessly refresh my email for reviews and kudos, like the attention seeking basic bitch i am haha.

have a fab evening, everyone!

Living Life Through A Lens: Chapter Three

Chapter 3: YG Entertainment

Word Count: 4.4K

Warnings: None

[8:00 AM KST]

           The ride on the way to your meeting was a peaceful one in comparison to your ride to work back home. The difference being that you were now driven to work and that everything was quieter. There was rarely any honking and even the hustle and bustle of people on their daily commutes was barely audible.

Soon enough you arrived at YG Entertainment headquarters. The building was modern in style, very monotone with lots of glass windows. To you it looked like a gigantic version of a computer tower. A computer tower that just happened to be made of concrete, steel and glass. Parked under the building were a collection of black and silver vans. Just before pulling into the lot you see a billboard that had a picture of Blackpink, it read “BLINKS DEMAND FOR BLACKPINK.” You smiled and thought, I’ll give you the content you're waiting for Blinks, just you wait. Apart from the billboard you notice a large group of people with signs and various other banners gathered at the company gate. When the car slows you get a chance to look at their signs, you were shocked as some of them had your face on it causing you to chuckle. How did they find me…? Right you did an Instagram live yesterday.

As soon as you and Lex get out of the car you're met with three new bodyguards, Scott and a woman who introduced herself as YG’s assistant. Before heading into the building, you made your way to go meet the fans standing at the company gate but were instantly stopped by YG’s set of bodyguards. With a confused look on your face, “am I not allowed to greet them? They came here for me…”

The guards said nothing but instead looked to the assistant and waited for her to tell you why they had stopped you. “I’m sure you're well aware of the risks that comes with meeting your supporters but because of the lack of security and strict YG protocol we cannot allow you to meet them.”

“They would never hurt me. If I stand a few feet away could I at least just say hello?” you ask.

She didn’t say anything and that alone told you it was a no. Feeling sad and guilty you look back to see them waving at you with their big signs and smiles. You wave back with just as much enthusiasm and very slowly make your way into the building.

Walking into the building you're brought to a reception desk where immediately you are given a warm welcome and a badge with your name on it. Before making your way to the elevators you pass by the famous YG cafeteria, you wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the black-wall waterfall you’ve seen during one of Blackpink’s vlives. The elevator dings signaling its arrival. Playing With Fire is playing in the elevator and to break the tension you ask, “I like this song! Anyone know who sings it?” Everyone in the elevator laughs, even YG’s bodyguards.

Getting out of the elevator you and your team are seated in a conference room and are told that YG would be there soon. Spinning around in your chair you look for a distraction, as a reflex you look at your phone and notice more missed calls and text messages. With an achy feeling you put your phone faced down on the conference table in front of you. Through the glass panes of the conference room you notice a group of people making their way toward the conference room doors. You look closely and see that it was YG, and he was surrounded by not one, not two, not three but four people. He had an intimidating aura around him which only made you more nervous. Blackpink, however nowhere in sight.

YG and his team walk in and immediately you're on your feet, feeling lightheaded with how fast you stood up. Nervously, you bow forward and greet him, “hello. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Hello, Y/N is it? How are you enjoying South Korea so far?” YG asks as he goes in for a hug.

Hugging him awkwardly and then pulling away, “that’s me! How did you know? And yes, the people here have been so kind. And the food­– don’t get me started on the food.”

“I have to admit that I’ve searched you up on the internet. I must say the photos don’t do you justice, you're much prettier in person.” He says confidently.

Before you could tell him thank you, an even larger group makes their way into the room. It was only a few seconds, but everything was in slow motion, everyone in the room turns to look and see that it’s the members of Blackpink along with their managers. Your jaw hung open at what was currently in front of you. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa all entered the room and now stood before you.

Each of them went straight in for a hug and greeted you a hello. It was barely audible as you were still shell shocked. Without thinking you say, “oh my gosh, this only happens in my dreams.” The room erupts in laughter.

After hugging each member and greeting their managers, YG sits down to start the meeting. YG was seated at the head of the conference table, his assistant and translator on his immediate left, followed by Scott, you and Lex. On his right sat another translator, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and then Lisa. On the other head of the table was a large TV screen and camera. A confused look on your face was noticed by Lex. As if answering the question in your head, she whispers “Ethan wanted to be included in the meeting last minute,” you nod in response.

The people at YG had technical difficulties trying to connect with Ethan, so while you were waiting you found yourself glancing over in the girls’ direction. Sometimes making eye contact and when you did you blushed and quickly spun your chair around to avoid their gaze, gaining a laugh from each of them every time you did it. When Ethan finally popped up on screen only then did you feel less nervous. Ethan was a smooth talker and good negotiator, so with him included in the meeting meant less time for you to talk. Or so you thought.

The meeting started with the formal introductions, everyone around the table said their name and their role in their respective companies. After that was over, Ethan and YG each took their turns discussing the business aspect behind the deal and each company’s expectations. You already knew what was expected of you so instead of listening you found yourself sneaking quick glances at the girls. Pinching yourself in the same spot until it turned red; your mind was still unable to process that this was real life. Suddenly you felt a nudge under the table from Lex, looking up you realized that everyone’s eyes were on you awaiting an answer.

Looking at the members in front of you blurt out, “sorry they’re so pretty its distracting,” immediately causing the members to blush and laugh amongst themselves.

Jisoo chuckles and speaks for the first time and though it’s in Korean the translator next to her looks to you and says, “Jisoo says for you to wait until you get to know each of the members, only then will you realize they’re not so charming.” In retaliation, Jennie and the other members playfully punch Jisoo’s shoulder. They will be the death of me, you thought to yourself.

The meeting continues and you explain how you’ve decided to film Blackpink’s upcoming documentary. Nervously looking around the room you start, “I hope you’ll forgive me for being so nervous, if I’m honest I am still shocked that we get to work together. It truly is a dream. But if you look to the information packet that my company has chosen to provide us for this meeting, you’ll see all my research and plans to make this documentary a successful one. It starts off with just the quick basic biography on me. What’s important in here is that my shooting and editing style are unique to me. It’s how I’ve always worked, and I don’t see it changing anytime soon. The next bit in this packet explains how I’m choosing to produce the film in its entirety.”

While holding up and pointing to the page you're referring to you continue, “it’s really simple. I have a small crew that works with me, I film. I have a sound person. I have someone looking at the monitor to make sure my shots are okay. Very small and intimate. As for how the film will be made, it happens in four phases. The first phase, there’s really no work done here other than us­– and by us I mean myself, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa getting to know each other. This phase is a bit unorthodox in that it doesn’t really happen with other documentaries. I choose to include it as it takes away a lot of the awkwardness when it comes to filming. The more we know of each other, the easier it is on me as I learn the boundaries; what to film and what not to film etc. The second phase is the easy part, you go on about your schedules and I follow you around with the camera. On occasion we’ll have a few sit-down interviews here and there but that’s all. The third phase is just editing and then the fourth and final phase is the premiere–” you stop and notice that Jennie was looking at you oddly. You couldn’t quite tell what her expression was. Was it admiration? Interest? Confusion? Whatever it was caused you stop in your tracks.

Giving her a quick smile and to close the sudden silence you asked her shyly, “w-was there something you wanted me to go over?”

Jennie hesitated. “Me? - sorry was I staring? No, please continue.” Smiling and using her hands to also gesture you continue.

You continued with the rest of the information in the packet, and still in the corner of your eye you could see Jennie looking at you with the same look and occasional smile. Once what seemed like hours but in reality was only 45 minutes, you got through everything you needed. All that was left for the day was the major press event with Korea’s media and a few international networks. The event was to be held in a large auditorium where you and the members would be seated on a panel and would be asked questions regarding your partnership.

[1:30 PM KST]

Before the press event everyone in the meeting was encouraged to grab a quick meal at the company cafeteria. You all made your way down and after grabbing tea and a portion of fruit you sat down at one of the tables. Lex and Scott were both making conversation with some of the staff which was a blessing in disguise because you just wanted to eat in peace. Wanting to calm your nerves you took a sip of your tea and wondered what the press would ask. Would they stick to the details of the documentary? Would they venture into your personal life? Your breakup had now become public, so much so that your company had to make a statement:

“It is true that Y/N and one of our company lawyers have ended their seven year-long relationship, and although we would have wished for this matter to remain private it has become such a spectacle that we are forced to confirm this news. They both have said they’re focused on their current projects and wish that the public refrain from asking questions about their break-up.

Thank You, Universal Film and Entertainment.”

When the you first read the statement it made you angry, you argued that the statement would only fan the flames and that you wanted it to be handled privately. You wanted whoever made the news public to have their head on a pike. Before you could let yourself get mad again you felt someone sit next to you.

It was Lisa and soon enough she was followed by Rosé who sat on the other side of you. Not wanting to talk with food in your mouth you turn to each of them and smile, covering your mouth as you do. Jisoo and Jennie sat across from you and each of their plates were filled with a variety of breakfast food.

Lisa starts off the conversation, “so Y/N? How do I pronounce your name correctly?” She said it correctly, but to confirm you sounded out your name slowly going over each syllable.

As if she could feel you tense up Rosé spoke softly, “Y/N, I hope we don’t make you nervous. I know we only just met, but please treat us as your friends. In fact, treat us as you would if we’ve known each other for a long time.”

“I’ll try my best but naturally I’m timid and shy. It will take me awhile, but I hope that we become great friends and co-workers.” You say with a smile.

Jennie spoke next, “Y/N. What do you like to do in your free time? After this we have no schedules for the rest of the day so let’s do something that you like to do. Are you okay with that?”

Feeling a bit more comfortable you reply, “mmm… I’m really not all that interesting but I wanted to get to know the area around my apartment as I’m going to be living here for the next year. But besides that, I would like to eat and go shopping.”

They all laugh and each of them go on to talk about the shops they want to take you to. Soon enough, Lisa and Rosé start to argue about where to take you first. You reassure them that you have lots of time and would be able to visit them all. They really are how they seem on Blackpink House. While Jisoo was occupied with one of her managers and Lisa and Rosé still arguing, Jennie looks up at you and smiles.

“Is this all too much?” she asks. How does she know exactly how you feel? Was it the look on your face? You thought you hid it well.

“It was in the beginning, but I can feel myself warming up. Slowly. You guys really remind me of my friends back home if I–” but before you could say more Scott comes and tells you guys that it’s time for the press event.

[2:30 PM KST]

The press event was well underway, it had started with a few photos of you and the members of Blackpink in front of a large backdrop that had all your faces on it followed by introductions. You sat in the middle while Jennie and Jisoo were on your right, and Lisa and Rosé on your left. Pulling your mic closer to your body and fixing the earpiece that would translate the medias questions to English you waited patiently for the spokesperson to pick a person to ask you a question.

The first question was easy, “Y/N. In a previous statement you’ve said that this documentary will be different and will surely be successful. Could you please elaborate?”

“This documentary will be different in that it won’t be a regular two- and half-hour film. I have decided to film a docuseries instead. Each member will have their own respective episode followed by a final episode, which will be a movie length long, focusing on Blackpink collectively as one unit. As for the success of this I am quite confident. Blackpink’s fanbase, or should I say Blinks- are a fandom second to none. The support they show is unbelievable. Unlike any I have seen so far. Plus, because YG has confirmed their comeback scheduled in four months I hope to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work they put into it, which is content I am sure Blinks will enjoy.”

The second question was for the girls and how excited they were to be getting their first official documentary. As an unofficial leader you found Jisoo pulling her mic closer toward her. Through the earpiece, it was a rough translation but in short, she said that they were excited and ready to show a different side to Blackpink in comparison to what they have shown in the past. Jisoo also said that she and her members already felt like you guys were already great friends and that the they hope the documentary will do well. It took a while for it all to come through the earpiece but when it was over you looked over and smiled at Jisoo and surprisingly she took your hand and gave it light squeeze while also returning a smile. Further in the distance you see Jennie’s eyes make their way to you and Jisoo holding hands, making eye contact with her you gave her a polite nod too.

It was about the tenth question in and you were hoping it’d be the last. However, this particular reporter who was chosen had a press badge with the large letters reading ET on the front. Dang it, Entertainment Tonight. This company always caused you great headaches. They were constantly prying into your personal life enough so that you had warned them multiple times in the past, which didn’t stop them of course. So, you sat there bracing yourself for impact.

“This question is for Y/N. Your recent breakup with high profile Universal lawyer Irene has recently made headlines. How has this affected your work, in terms of being able to get along and work through this documentary?” They really aren’t shy with their questions, are they? It takes everything in you to answer the question professionally, but you still have a hard time trying to answer anyway.

Looking down while fumbling with your fingers you begin, “uh- uhm. I- I mean we­­–” you look around for Scott for some help but instead you hear some fumbling and Jennie has her mic in her hands. Very quickly she’s able to shift the attention back to the documentary and away from you. Disappointed with your inability to answer the question you look down at your fingers fidgeting under the table. You feel Lisa’s hand grab a hold of yours while also feeling a light squeeze. Her doe-brown eyes meet yours and she mouths “it’s okay,” her mouth forming into a warm smile. You mouth a quick “thank you,” which goes unnoticed by the media as they are distracted with Jennie still. Lisa let go eventually, but from time to time for the rest of the event she would put her hand on your leg to encourage you.

The press event was finally over and you could slowly feel yourself relax again. The crushing feeling in your chest dissipated as you felt Lisa and Jennie link their arms with yours as you made it off the stage.

“I just wanted to say thank you again. I should have been more prepared.” You say shyly.

Jennie responds, “don’t even mention it. It shouldn’t happen but it does happen to the best of us.” You look up and finally see Lex and Scott typing away furiously on their phone. Oh man they must be furious. Although it was never mentioned, it was assumed that the questions asked at the press event were strictly supposed to be focused on the project, nothing personal. You unlink arms with the girls and give them both a polite nod before running toward Scott and Lex for a hug.

While still in a hug Scott rubs your back and says, “Oh my gosh Y/N. I am so sorry. I had no idea that they would be here let alone ask you that question. I am so sorry for not preparing you ahead of time. I’m trying to find our contact with ET. I’ll get this fixed in no time.”

It wasn’t okay, you were blindsided but to make Scott and Lex both feel better you told them that it was okay, and you were thankful for what Jennie did for you. You turn around and the members are standing off to the side with their managers. Jennie’s eyes are lasered in on Scott and Lex, when you she takes notice of you staring back at her she looks at you and smiles.

[4:30 PM KST]

Your team was too angry about what happened to go with you and the girls to dinner, they wanted to kill whoever was responsible at ET. Before you parted ways with them Lex pulled you aside and apologized again, she told you that she would meet you back at your apartment as she wanted to set a few things up for you at your new apartment as an apology. After telling her it wasn’t her fault for what seemed like the millionth time, you hugged her goodbye and made your way to Blackpink’s company van. You were going to ride with them to the restaurant while Scott and Lex took your van to the hotel and apartment. Turning back, you made sure Scott and Lex were safely settled in the van; this would be the last time you saw Scott in person as he would be travelling back home to get back to work. Where I would I be without you guys, you thought to yourself.

“Y/N! Are you coming?” Rosé says as she pops her head out from the van. Quickly you spun around and made your way to the van.

On the way to the restaurant you found yourself still in awe of South Korea. Everything was still so new and refreshing for you. The girls on the other hand couldn’t care less, their eyes were glued to their phones. Before you knew it, you arrived at the restaurant. It was a small mom and pop shop and you could feel your stomach grumbling on the way in.

You sat down in the booth and noticed Jennie sat immediately on your right. Lisa and Rosé both ran for the spot on your left, Rosé won, and you laughed.

“Nobody wants to sit next to me?” Jisoo asked in a pitiful tone.

“I’ll sit next to you unnie,” Lisa said as she sighed. This caused Jisoo hit Lisa in the left shoulder; she had said something to the effect of “why do you sound so disappointed” in Korean. You only understood as Rosé translated it for you.

After ordering, you thought of what you talk about with the girls. You remembered you wanted to make a few things clear before you started filming. You started, “hey I just wanted to say a few things that I couldn’t earlier.”

The girls immediately focused in on you making you a little nervous.

“I didn’t want to say it earlier in front of all the businesspeople at the meeting this morning, because frankly their job is to look at the numbers and make sure that this partnership does well on both ends. All they care about is the profits and margins, and there’s nothing wrong with that but– I guess what I’m trying to say is that before I am a director, editor, or whatever occupation I hold, I want to be your friend and someone you can trust first and foremost. So, if there is anything– and I mean anything that I catch on film or you don’t want filmed, just let me know you aren’t comfortable with it and I will delete it. I don’t believe in creating drama for views despite what our agencies might ask of us, so if you want something deleted, it’s gone. No questions asked.”

It was silent for a moment, but each of them expressed their gratitude for your honesty. They opened up about their experience in the industry thus far. You guys talked about how rare it was to just have genuine friendships, and that it was tiring trying to decipher who was real and who wasn’t. Being able to have this in common and bond over it made you all feel so much closer. The whole night wasn’t all serious though, you found yourself laughing and cracking jokes as if you guys had been friends for years.

While Jisoo was caught playing referee for an argument between Lisa and Rosé, you took this time as a chance to talk to Jennie. You didn’t have to get her attention as she was already looking at you. She was always looking at you. Why? You figured you would ask. What could go wrong?

Smiling and laughing as you ask her “why are you always looking at me?”

She laughs too, “Do I have to have a reason to?”

“I mean no, but it makes me nervous when you do.”

Teasingly she inches closer to you, so close that you could see her individual eyelashes. “Are you saying…I make you nervous Y/N?”

You push her away and out of breath you say, “yes. Very nervous.”

“Good,” she replies and goes back to eating her food. What is with this girl? Was she flirting as a joke? Should you flirt back?

The rest of the evening you guys talked for hours, so much so that the owners had to come by your table and say it was closing time. With all of you stuffed to the brim with food, it silent on the drive to your apartment. The girls were falling asleep and so were you.

After pulling into the driveway under of your apartment you said goodbye to each of the girls. You gave all the members a hug before exiting the van and while hugging Jisoo you notice a familiar figure waiting at the doors of your apartment building through the window of the van. The figure turns around and you see it’s Irene.

Top 50 Best Transformers Fanfiction Stories 2020

Best Transformers Fanfiction Updates That You Must Read

Since Childhood, I am watching transformers and looking forward to becoming a transformer one day, Grew up by Reading Transformers Fanfiction Stories and was always amazed by the fictions that used to pop out from such inspiring Fanfiction Lovers. Also liking the Transformer Fanfiction Crossover a lot.

If I Start Giving my Opinions about Transformers Fanfiction Lemon and Transformers Crossover fanfiction, I don't think so that I won't end the topic of Transformers Fanfiction Stories even in 24 hours. Lukas Schimik Agreed ! Don't know why everybody hates it, I think it's still my number 1 TF movie! Optimus new look, Lockdown & Galvatron, KsI (bots), Dinobots, cast ( HATED this Sam & Mikeala ) and the TF/human conflict. Still love it. Miguel GC Gamer Age of Extinction is the only film that entertains that I don't skip any parts of the movie and I like all the characters in this film and the transformers designs are great, dino bots are Awsome. Vincent H well....bad taste is also bad taste at the end of the day. I know you younger kids think that everyone is supposed to have an opinion and everything is subjective blah blah blah but if you're a cinephile than the Transformers are objectively bad films. They are cynical cash grabs made to make money in China. Bay and the producers have said as much. I mean you can like whatever you want. If you wanna listen to Teletubbies soundtrack all day that's your right....but that does mean you have shitty taste. It's okay. Not everyone has good taste. urtpro 2 I'm not hating I'm genuinely curious. I certainly like it more than Last Knight but barely lol. I'm curious the reasons why AOE fans consider it one of the better Transformers movies. I will say it was nice to switch up the protagonist and all that since Sam Witwicky had worn out his welcome by the third film. And the actress who played Wahlberg's daughter was smoking hot, so that was a plus too. Oliver Parker I thought the premise of the world hating and hunting the Transformers(regardless of Faction), cuz of what happened in Chicago(in DOTM), was kool, MW was a refreshing Main Hero over Shia tbh, and Lockdown was Badass! Honestly kinda just laughed off the whole Romeo and Juliette law thing as being just a bad movie joke! I’m mean honestly I know there’s no such law, and as such it didn’t really bother me! Just rather thought it was somewhat silly! Yann Labeille Well Lockdown was a pretty good villain for once in the movies. However Galvatron went nowhere after this. Anthony That isn't true. I saw Bumblebee yesterday and I find it Like watching E.T., the movie is just on Charlie, not really much on Bee. The only g1 part is the first 5 minutes of the movie. Too much 80s references. Sometimes is even boring for me. It Was a cute movie but absolutely not my favourite. I still prefere the first one. Aron T-900 I'd rather get vibes from ET and Iron Giant instead of witnessing stupid humor, unnecessary hot shots, dogs humping each other, unrealistic explosions, parents acting like they belong in a cartoon, patriotism and confusing slo-mo action sequences. Cam Rich I preferred the first and third ones as they have so much more action in them making the films actually entertaining, when most of bumblebee is almost like a compilation of ‘cute’ little clips of bumblebee and that annoying girl taking up almost the entirety of the movie. Max Ramirez Personally prefer the 2007 movie because it's just overall more entertaining to me. Also, you can pretty much tell Bumblebee was a movie that was directed towards kids so 2007 wins for me So Sit back and enjoy reading my favorite transformers fanfiction lemon and Transformers fanfiction Crossovers Collection. That I have collected for you guys. I Hope You Guys liked our collection of the best transformers fanfiction stories and updates that we have presented above for all fanfiction lovers out here. Transformers Fanfiction Crossover Stories 2020(Updated) Transformers is America based  Franchise that was first seen in the 1980s globally. So the first five transformers Films was directed by Michael Bay. I really believe that this was the boost up for the Transformers Fanfiction Crossover stories that I really liked about among the whole and sole of the transformers fanfiction stories including the lemon version of the franchise. Minaya Rojas Tony: We have a Hulk! Optimus: We have a Grimlock! Porg King VII Bee is here what would Optimus want with that what would he take her hostage IT SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS BEEN BRAIN WASHED BY DESEPTAGONS Siidimus Prime! Except they transform their aliens they have Real blasters Different Voices blood Etc. arfhanisbest The interesting thing is that transformers would actually make for good marvel villains. dave tasca The original transformers comics were made by marvel and marvel had to do with the original transformers tv show so they really should try to get the rights back jovinprime Poop soc This would've been more awesome if gi joe, rom the spaceknight, M.A.S.K., micronauts and the other properties interfere with the whole marvel universe and the transformers both. That would be, not only a big, giant, massive crossover event, but a... gigantic, space-involving, multiversal collusion as well Darkknight329 yes megatron hack the armor with Soundwave and turn it off then they all just step on them but they will throw hulk to cybertron and leave him to the toxic oxygen Dr. Nobody Celz On they are robots what is a snap gonna do I know buckys arm was turned to dust but still they have weapons that can make thanos cheese agnas yes because they’re alive. They go to the allspark when they die, they are alive just like us, just made of metal. Bee is here Tony: We have thanos Optimus: We have your mom Tony:0_0 ok you win now give me my mom Hoping that you guys liked our collection of the topmost fanfics about the transformers fanfiction crossover flavors that we have published above this. 

Transformers Fanfiction Lemon Version 2020 Funny Part of the Franchise is that the transformer's movies, on one hand, was loved by the fans and on the other hand there were critics about the direction "Worst Director of all Time". Still, there are some dirty minded people who are always in search of the Transformers Fanfiction Lemon and some people also call it Transformers lemon Fanfiction. Night light I really want to be apart of one of micheal bays movie of transformers Flo Parsons see this is why I love transformers, because the actors ACTUALLY seem like they are having fun, and they are such fun films to watch obert Delgad Even though the movie sequels are not that great, but you have to give Michael Bay a lot of Credit for what he does. fake lol Bay is a genius I mean, I wouldn't be able to figure out the scale of you know the explosions Like the layout nig*a LOL, lol or as you typed if, Lol: an acronym for laugh(ing) out loud or lots of laughs, some say it is Lots of love, is a popular element of Internet slang. It was first used almost exclusively on Usenet, but has since become widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication and even face-to-face communication. Alex Bruh Bumblebee knows how to pick up ladies more than Sam 😂 lala I remember being a kid and having the biggest crush for Megan. Good lord she was so hot Michael ceasar Back than I thought Sam was looking at her belly and so was I saying "Hot belly I guess." hotman 280 Michael Bay while directing: Yeah Megan arch your back, perfect perfect. Get a good shot of her sweat glistening tanned bronze body. Yeah just like that. chief ada Yeah right. That engine is a big block. Fuel injected side draft 8 barrel carburetors. Hell even the headers are up and over side mount. And the damn engine is worth more then the car. As he only paid $4500.00 That damn engine alone cost $20,000.00! Leave the critics aside all I want to know is: How did you people find our transformers fanfiction lemon version? comment down below if you guys liked this collection on some of the best lemon flavors of transformers fanfiction stories. Transformers fanfiction Bumblebee Stories Updated The best part of the Transformers franchise is that bumblebee is the only character that got most of the positive reviews. This can be a reason that people Love Transformers Fanfiction Bumblebee Version a lot. No worries because we have provided some of the best Bumblebee fanfiction stories that you will enjoy reading. Master Yoda "Wasp", "Stinger" or "Hornet" would be appropriate Decepticon sounding names as "Bumble Bee" sounds too friendly. ron 1j2j barricade is a ford mustang and bee is a Chevrolet camero trust me they will not be friends pro gmer yes i do lol they killed ironhide and ratchet and jazz and sideswipe is already missing dnt know if hes alive but hes my favorite hari bhaskar I'm Bumblebee was a Decepticon he'd be dead like the other Decepticons, because boi they sure kill Decepticons like it's nothing. mighty raju Blackout had skills. Shockwave had skills. The Fallen had skills. Yet they all died like they're nothing. Why? Cause they're Decepticons lol. It's simple rlly, they kill off Decepticons like they're nothing that's just how it is lol. habob What about “what if sentinel prime didn’t betray the autobots” I think age of extinction and beyond wouldn’t have happened since sentinel basically destroyed N.E.S.T. And also Rachet and Ironhide wouldn’t have died so the Autobots would have had a great advantage, and then Sam would still be with the autobots since he disappears after DOTMBasically, I’m saying that the Transformers franchise would have dramatically changed if Sentinel didn’t betray the Autobots. ShyGuy 15 In the movies, technically Megatron is an anti-hero. The first movie makes an acception bc he was using the allspark for pure evil, also in Aoe no reason told us what he was trying to accomplish other than detonating the seed. So 2, 3, and 5, he has reasons to his doing Rotf: using the pyramid to kill the sun and repopulate cybertron. Dotm: rebuild cybertron. TLK: kill unicron using cybertron. This is all in my own mind, not sure if anyone else agrees with me Simon Tyson I forget what it was called, but there was a comic book series where Megatron was an Autobot. It basically swapped all the characters so that Optimus, Bumblebee, Iron Hide, etc. were bad guys. Megatron, Starscream, etc. were good guys Dank Starscream If Bayformer Megatron's history is similar to the IDW comics Megatron's history...then that would mean the Autobot government was not all that good, and would be directly responsible for why Megatron turned out the way he did. Because he was a slave to their functionalist system of control, and he would have remained a slave worker miner if he didn't rise up from the lifestyle forced on him and formed the Decepticon faction... Though it seems to me that if this were the case, Bayformers Megatron would still have become a gladiator before forming the Decepticons...and then eventually he found his way into more of the politics of Cybertron after one day meeting with Optimus Prime (Orion Pax at the time) and then they became brothers/friends. In that sense...it would be similar to how the history of the two were from the show TF Prime. They could still keep the part with the whole Optimus being a knight too, somehow... So in short...Megatron really did not start out as a bad guy at all, it was the way in which he reacted to everything that made him turn out a 'bad guy'. She-Venom What if Megatron is a good guy in the movies? Simple answer is right here becuse Optimus accepted become a Prime if he didnt accept Optimus and Megatron wouldnt fight each other and best brothers it was Optimus fault he started the war i think Megatron is a good guy Hoping that you guys liked our collection of the topmost fanfics about the transformers fanfiction crossover flavors that we have published above this. People Love Bumblebee! i love him/her because bumblebee is cool, let me know why do you love Bumblebee and more importantly why do you guys love Transformers fanfiction on Bumblebee. Transformers Fanfiction OC Version  Earning a total amount of $4.3 Billion, transformers became the 13th highest-grossing film series in the world. The Transformers Fanfiction Fans Should be happy to know that the Transformers franchise grossed a total of $1 Billion each from two superhit blockbuster movies. Comment Down the names of those movies if you know them. Jack R I think the first one was more epic just cause the fight scenes were cool and it was the first time we saw something like that. But the writing and characters were absolutely horrific. Bumblebee had much better writing and characters especially the character relationship between Bumblebee and the girl which is much better than the relationship between Sam and bumblebee. Dotm Shockwave Yeah I dont know how he put tlk over revenge and extinction. The last knight is incredibly boring and the only remaining aspect left to enjoy (the action) is incredibly dull in it compared to all the other films. There are no good fight scenes. Which is likely why it bombed so hard Ur mom Gai Ok imo the last knight is my fave AND I ONLY like TF5 is cuz bumblebee new form looks good as hell and Optimus prime vs bumblebee AND there is explosions. EVERYWHERE Boss  I definitely didn't think it was my favorite. It depends on what you are looking for in a movie. If you like character relationships and a girl and her problems trying to find her way, then you'll like it. If you like transformers actions and interactions, you may not like it as much. Even though the Bay movie didn't focus enough on the transformers, this one did even less The Burden of Bordem I'm a decepticon fan and none of the main decepticons were even given a name in the movie. They were just there to be bad. The Burden of Bordem For me I think this film would have worked much better if they just had Starscream as the main villain, and maybe Barricade hunting bumblebee and give them a more personal relation ship as enemies. But like I said, it end up being a movie about a girl and her relation ship with Bumblebee and enemies getting in their way. bandwon he main character is more fleshed out than the others, Bumblebee I guess is as well, but he can't talk so it isn't by much, the story is standard E.T./Iron Giant, the acting is fine, the directing is probably better than the others, the action is good when it happens, but there is far less than the others, and non of the action reached the peak of the Bay movies. and if it wasn't for the fact there were transformers in it I probably wouldn't have really liked it, but it's enough to get you invested and entertained imo. luke jack You really think anyone's gonna take you serious after you typed "Bumble" Haha the 2007 film and DotM were pretty decent films and satisfying in the end. lisa Speaking as a male, it always annoys me, as a child, that certain plot-line of every terribly written sci-fi (mainly Transformers): "main character is a dick=likable guy" "he has 'relatable' problems, that are only explored in the first 15 minutes of the film" "He start having an abusive/creepy relationship (because that's how well written romance works, right...), with the love interest (they barely explore her name)." "1+ hour action scenes" "world is gonna explode (not really)" "Main Character and Love Interest hook up". People always call me "a pussy", because i want equal rights, and then they go make a video about "how everything is now pandering to women, and everything is Woke"... By your perfect logic... most movies are "pandering to males, and straight people only" imo  not like super duper mad, but kinda upset. It was actually kinda funny. But dude, I love what you said about Man of Steel in your DC ranking video. I love that you love Man of Steel. Not many do, and it's seriously awesome!

The Good Life

Hello, my lovelies! This is my new multi-chapter story that I’ve been mentioning for a while now. It took longer than I’d like for me to get the ball rolling on it, but I have the first 5ish chapters written and/or mapped out and I really think this story is gonna be a fun one.

I’m still compiling my tags list, so if you want to be added (or removed) from the tags list for this story and/or all my writing in general, just feel free to let me know!

@pink-royaute @believethaticanandiwill

The Good Life: Chapter 1

“Do you want anything from the kitchen while I’m up, sweets?” Chloe asked as she walked across the room.

“No thanks. I just have one more person to call and then we can get started, yeah?”

Chloe shrugged and went into the kitchen, leaving Rae alone in the living room.

After finding the contact information from her email inbox, Rae entered the phone number into her cell phone and pressed the green phone icon to make the call.

“Hello?” sing-songed the voice that picked up the call.

“Uh, hiya! Is this Alex?” Rae asked tentatively.

“That’s me! How can I help ya?”

“My name is Rae, well technically Rachel, but I’ve been corresponding with you via email about the room that is for rent.”

“Oh, yes! I’ve been expecting your call! Did you have more questions for me?”

“I do, actually! Just a second,” Rae scrolled down on the webpage open on her laptop, skimming the page until she found what she was looking for. “So, I’m looking at the listing for the open room that’s for rent and it doesn’t mention having a private bathroom or how many bathrooms there are,” Rae trailed off.

“There is a master bathroom attached to my bedroom and a guest bathroom,” the voice on the other end of the phone call said in reply to Rae’s implied question, “If you are interested in renting the open room, you’ll be sharing the guest bathroom with three other people.”

“Three people would share the guest bathroom in addition to me?”

“Yeah! There’re two other girls and one of their boyfriends just recently moved in as well. So it would be the four of you sharing the bathroom at the end of the hall.”

“Oh! The listing didn’t mention that there were only two bathrooms. Is the monthly rent on your website listing for the room correct?”

“Yeah! That bedroom has a south-facing window, which has a really nice view of the neighborhood park, so it’s more expensive than the others. The price online also doesn’t include internet, cable, or any of those extra things that we divide up evenly.”

“Huh, I see…” Rae mumbled as she typed this information into the open note she had on her laptop with details about apartments she was looking into.

“Did you want to arrange a time with me and the others to come see the room that’s for rent? Or did you have any other questions?”

“I think that’s all the questions I had for you right now. I’m still looking around, but I’ll stay in contact.”

“Alright! That works for me. Have a nice day, Rachel!”

“You too, Alex! And thanks again for the information,”

After ending the phone call, Rae set her phone down on the coffee table in front of her and sat back on the couch, heaving a drawn-out sigh.

“Wow, that bad, huh?” Chloe asked from the kitchen as she finished getting herself and Rae glasses of wine.

“Well, it certainly wasn’t great,” Rae replied with a humorless chuckle, “but at least it wasn’t as bad as the girl that said the room for rent would be shared with her Burmese Python named Daisy.”

“I don’t know...after we met up with ‘goat boy’ who was trying to rent out his mom’s basement without her knowledge, Daisy started to seem like she might not be the worst roommate you could wind up with,” Chloe added causing Rae to smile and shake her head at the memory.

“She was kind of cute afterall, but she had no concept of personal space!”

“In all seriousness, maybe you’re just not looking in the right places, Rae-Rae,” Chloe mused as she handed Rae her glass of wine and set the bottle on the coffee table beside Rae’s laptop so she did not have to get up to refill their glasses.

“I’ve been trying to look everywhere, but nothing that I find seems to match what I’m looking for, I suppose.”

“I’m sure you’ll find something that works for you!”

“I appreciate your optimism, Chlo, but I’m not so sure. You remember how hard it was for me to find my current studio apartment, right? And that was without any type of time constraint or added stress. I just don’t know what I’m gonna do if I can’t find somewhere else to live. I’m barely making rent and all my other bills on time every month and since I had to add on another semester to finish my degree, I’m going to have to pay for the upcoming semester of Uni out of pocket. I can’t afford to not find a cheaper place to live and I can’t afford to live alone anymore!”

“Well you still have plenty of time, right? When was it that you said your lease was up?”

“I put in my 60-day notice yesterday, so I have until about mid-June to find something before I have to be out of my current place.”

“See? You have plenty of time to find something! Just keep looking around and I’ll ask around with some of the people I know at work and be sure to let you know what I find, alright?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

“Of course I am! And if you’re still unable to find somewhere to live by the time you have to be out of your studio apartment, my offer still stands.”

“It’s very sweet of you to offer to convert the extra room in your apartment into a bedroom for me to live in, but if I moved in with you it would double my commute time to work, which is bad enough already. Not to mention, I’d feel like such a mooch if I lived here rent-free,” Rae said as she looked around at the upscale and modern decor of Chloe’s living room.

“Who said I’d let you live here rent-free?” Chloe joked.

“That’s very true. How rude of me to have assumed such a thing!”

“Anyways...that’s more than enough stress for you to deal with in one day, Rae-Rae! Now, let’s get back to our weekly movie night! There are cheesy romantic comedies to watch and this bottle of wine isn’t gonna drink itself!” Chloe replied cheerfully as she grabbed the remote to start the movie.

A/N: So this story has been drafted, written/rewritten, scrapped, tabled, and ignored for close to a year now for no particular reason other than I didn’t have a clear idea of where I wanted it to go and I couldn’t bring myself to start yet another multi-chapter story that I lost interest in and hit a wall with (sorry you had to find out like this, but that is where I’m at with two of my multi-chapter stories that I was writing in the latter half of last year, which is why there hasn’t been an update in months :/ ). Fear not, my loves! I have a good feeling about this story and I’m trying a slightly different approach to this story, so wish me luck that it’ll work out for me!

This chapter is quite short and doesn’t really do too much aside from plot development and providing some information that will be relevant in later chapters, so please bear with me because this story will be a bit slow to get up and running, but it should definitely pick up by the 3rd chapter or so.

Thank you for reading and I would love to hear any thoughts/opinions/questions/general feedback you may have about this chapter! Until next time: Stay awesome, my friends! :)

#my writing #mmfd fanfic #my mad fat diary #my mad fat diary fanfiction #finn-nelson-for-the-win #The Good Life #idk if y'all remember or not but I actually posted a teaser to this story a while back #don't feel obligated to go on a scavenger hunt on my blog to find the teaser chapter tho #we'll be getting to that point in the story soon enough #this story is going to be equal parts fluff and fun and it's all based on real events so that makes it even more fun for me as a writer! #idk about all of you but I'm pretty fucking excited to get this story started!!!! #the good life: ch1

#story of my life

[stone-man-warrior]

January 25, 2021: 4:02 pm:

An airplane flew over my house at dawn today.

It was a small one. The dawn airplane would not be unusual... 10 years ago... as the early morning small airplane flyover happened everyday at dawn, on it’s way towards the north, then return at about 4:00 pm to towards the south.

I can’t recall when, but at some point, the early morning airplane to the north at sunrise, stopped happening everyday at dawn. The timing seems to have been all the changed, as the return flight south of that small airplane at about 4:00 pm continues. I am not seeing or hearing the airplane at dawn, instead, it’s either taking a different route, or is on a different schedule than usual.

=====

Last night at about midnight, I took a walk out to the mailbox with two big framing hammers, 26 oz Vaughn “California Framer” and a lighter, 22 oz Eastwing demo hammer.

I needed to open the mailbox.

Joe Biden glued the fucking mailbox shut, so, hammers... have to open the mailbox.

On the way there, at the part of my driveway near my gate where I call it “The Valley of Death”, is where I encountered the terrorist bitch who Joe Biden ordered to be sent here to fuck with me.

“Who are you?” I said, sternly.

“It’s not Rick... nix is caught” replied a combination of live words and electronic communication device utterances from the intruding terrorists Christian Pirate assassin bitch that Joe Biden sent here, with super glue.

The assassin was wearing a “Pixel Suit” invisible camouflage electronic suit, laying on the ground at the edge of my driveway.

“THUD”... I said.

===

1-26-2021: 1:11 am: additional:

The terrorist bitch said: “Ooof!”

(I forgot about about that part)

(you have to pay extra for the “Ooof!”)

===

Then... “Idiot” I said some more.

I walked to the mailbox to open it. The mailbox is smarter than the terrorist bitch, opened right up when I asked it to.

I could hear some moaning from my driveway on return walk along Jackpine. I stopped at the end of my driveway, to listen. Then, someone at Monroe’s front porch said “play the tape”, then, a repeat of “Who are you” and “It’s not Rick... nix is caught” and “THUD” (then “Ooof!”) and “idiot” was heard from over there, about 200 feet away.

I walked briskly back to my house. There was some movement about three feet away from me as I walked through the Valley of Death near my driveway gate.

I checked the car door, it’s glued shut also, have to get a bigger hammer for that.

There was no mail in the mailbox, just air in there.

The Superglue on everything causes a situation where the victim needs to undo what was glued shut, and in that confusion, that moment of “what the fuck is going on with this fucking thing... it’s stuck... hmmm... darn... ok... pull this... smack this over here... shit... I broke it some more... have to get a hammer”... that is when the Democrat terror bastards attack with a sword, after flooding the area with poison gasses.

========================================

5:08 pm:

https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1353774041044307968

https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1353862461234044929

https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1353831267087867905

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMD2TwRvuoU

This theme is playing out now with news from Twitter.

With just that much there, I can specify that the terrorist bitch in The Valley of Death was Cynthia Manning, or, a replacement  of Cynthia Manning,

The terror orders originated with a few Tweets from Boris Johnson:

Here, he passes the torch to Sturgeon, and the theme changes to “Fire Woman“ by The Cult.

https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1353713505879420928

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPY8Qn3DSB4

These are the original orders from Johnson to Joe Biden, to work together to remove a common pain in their asses, even though Biden and Johnson are leaders of opposing terror army’s. Johnson is smooth, remains calm, reaches out to an enemy, Biden, to kill me, a man who is taking the global terrorist leaders to the ground, while held captive by both of them.

Boris hands to the controls to Sturgeon, who arranged that Cynthia Manning would be the operative, backed by a lot of Democrat support, in a unusual alliance between two opposing terror army’s,

SAG/Britain/Trump/Johnson/Benedict

and

SAG/Biden/Vatican (Bergoglio/Google)/Britain

https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1353080620491165699

There are lots more pieces to this Twitter/Google/YouTube communication of global terrorism hit commands today, yesterday, day before.

I only presented a small part of what is available for decode.

===============

5:35 pm:

Modern social conditions require that it is the responsibility of the murder victim, to solve their own murder details.

===============

5:37 pm:

These photos are available online, the books they were printed in may have all been destroyed, however, this is also part of the theme used as shell language for a murder hit, are unspoken, but Stonehenge is me, for this set of communication, and my mailbox hinge, and car door hinge, was glued shut to suit the theme for further discussion and symbolism:

Stonehenge is part of the Russian Mother of all Hoaxes.

They want to create a situation that will show that this account is like Stonehenge.

The information in this account is as real as real can get.

The TV news, newspapers, and much of recorded AD history, and more, is what is false.

=========================

5:47 pm:

I want to try to teach you how a crucifix works in modern times, for symbolic use, as a way to say terror marching orders in print, video, internet... everywhere information has been documented and recorded in some way, from blocbuster movies, to cave drawings from ancient times, to a song on the radio, to one small beep on you cellular phone, from hieroglyphics Egyptian rock carvings, to technical writings used for constructing International Space Station.

All recorded history of everything that was ever written, or could be described with words is included in this symbolism.

These are ASCII symbols:

This one represents the vertical member of the Pope’s Crucifix:

Alt + 23: ↨

 ↨

This is Alt + 22: ▬

▬

Those are two ASCII parts of a Crucifix.

“Jesus was a Carpenter”, he had to nail together his own Crucifix, that is why he is a Carpenter. Those are the parts necessary for Jesus to build his Crucifix that he will be nailed onto. There are probably some nails in the ASCII codes. you can go find those on your own, send an apprentice for that, tell him you need a box of “Toe nails”.

The vertical member of the Pope’s Crucifix is the place where all of that recorded history is contained, Google keeps it all organized these days, but it was not always Google’s job for that, they had Britannia Encyclopedia before there was Google for collecting all of the information.

So, at the top of the Pope’s vertical part of the Crucifix, is music, the Vatican Choir singing a Middle C is there, at the very tippy top.

Other music, and sounds, audible things are below that top C note (C note is also $100 bill, a C note, has Franklin on there, is a “Dead Bitch”, and marks the grave)

Below the music, is layers of written news, video is down below the horizontal member, all of the information, contents of the Library at Alexandria (dead bitch) and more, is all arranged along the height of the vertical member. Pornography is all located at about Ground Level, is “Sodomy” on the ground level, and then Snuff movies, torture, and true stories of bloody war, are located below ground level where it is planted on the graves.

So, news media terror “Poly the Parrot” is able to reach in there, to grab something, anything will work, but, they can be selective, to pull out from all of that history, some set of details that are in there, it’s a “Pandora’s Box” of stuff.

Then, when Jesus shows up, someone who wrote down something about terrorism, someone who saw the enormous Christian Pirate Ship and told about what they saw, that is when Jesus will become a Carpenter, to nail together his or her own grave marker, the Pope’s Crucifix. The act of writing something about the Christian Pirate Ship, such as decoding that the modern day lead vessel is the HMS Eleanor Rigby, captained by I O Downing Street, or, that the Admiral of he Christian Pirate Fleet is all of the Pope’s that ever were, and are called “The Jim Dunlop” aboard “The Flying V”, or any other smaller details of the Christian terror, is when the news media sets into motion, a theme they grab from somewhere along the height of the vertical part of the Crucifix. There are many terror cells, so, many themes can all be playing out simultaneously for use a shell language to use to capture Jesus, so he can be tortured, used, nailed to the mast of the pirate ship... information is the wind that moves the boat, so, every Jesus has some power to move the boat forward.

That thing that was grabbed by newsmedia as a theme, is this thing on the ASCII codes:

Alt: 16: ►

►

It represents a 16 year old terror apprentice, disposable terror captive trained pirate who has no choices but to run with the ball, that thing that was grabbed from the Library at Alexandria by newsmedia, it’s just a selection of information taken from the archives, to use as a theme, something to bury command language within, is all it is, is handed to a young disposable terror soldier, symbolically.

That ►, is placed on the far left side of the ▬ horizontal axis part of the Pope’s Crucifix, and Jesus is prepared to run with the ball towards the right side of the Crucifix horizontal member.

It works out most of the time, where that 16 year old disposable terrors soldier is the targeted victim who wrote something down about having seen the Christian Pirate ship, and has to run a gauntlet of terror to the other side on the right. Obstacles of unbelievable circumstance are placed in the path of the victim who is trying to break free, to go towards the right.

The victim starts the journey on the left side of the Pope’s Crucifix. The obstacles are universally enormous.

(this is high resolution image, zoom in to see how Jesus must run on the thin blue line, while surrounded by waves of green in a gauntlet of obstacles)

Over here, way over on the right side of the horizontal member of the Pope’s Crucifix, is where the victim needs to go, to find some peace, and some freedom.

Very few people survive the Gauntlet, to reach freedom.

There are only three points to a Crucifix, the one that is below ground is not visible, but it’s the one on the far right that is not there, because the Gauntlet is never ending, so, that point that is underground on the vertical member, is where the snuff movies are at, just a little bit below pornography, and that is why Virgo is on the far right of the horizontal member, as shown. no one gets snuffed, without first being fucked many times over, along the journey of the Gauntlet contained on the Pope’s Crucifix.

The Pope is the captain of a pirate ship that collects souls at ground zero, where the Hero, is Sodomized.

Grounds Hero at Ground Zero, or, Grounds Xero, as your gender designates.

Xerox, is the replacement copy who takes your place to vote.

This is not a new thing, is 2021 years old.

There are no people willing to fight against it. It’s a Big Yellow Airplane the no one can see.

======

That is also a representation of what happens to people once they are about 16 years old, and are controlled by the church. I told two stories at once, so, you need to do your own research to see what parts of that explanation suit the way your own life is going. The formula for generic control, is customizable for specific murder hits.

See that Jesus never really reaches the far right side to freedom on the horizontal member, instead, he falls off somewhere, gets planted into the ground, and becomes the part of the vertical member, under the ground, where the snuff movies are categorized by Google.

See, that when news media, (Laura Ingram) talks about the “Far Left”, that is a place where some kind of Jesus is prepared to run a Gauntlet, towards the “Far Right”, and, you need to also see, that there really is no “Far Right”, it never ends, keeps on going forever, eternally planted into the ground after Jesus is buried, and becomes the Crucifix he built, is Vested, as “Journeyman Carpenter”.

Jesus, for the news considerations, could be a terror attack scenario playing out over time. Far Left is where it begins, then it progresses to the right, while they track it’s progress toward a long term goal, or a short term one.

=============

7:19 pm:

Typical Internet Browser Refresh Button:

Is a crucifix, when Jesus falls off along the Gauntlet towards the right, and is planted into the ground, then, the replacement terror Christian Pirate absorbs that persons ID, there whole life, is harnessed to continue in place of the Jesus who fell off of the right side of the horizontal member while trying to dodge the incoming obstacles of the Gauntlet.

Refresh.

======>

                                 @ Knowledge E = MC² is this:     ----------------------------------------G>     (Gnosis--->                                                   @ Knowledge

The Gnosis are the lies told by the Christian Pirates for the past 2021 years. They are all contained in all of the recorded history of the world. As Real Knowledge tries desperately to catch up to the lies, to measure them, to keep them in check, the Gnosis of lies gains more velocity at a rate that doubles with each measurement attempt, while a real measurement is not attainable.

That is what E = MC² says, when the equation is fully worked out and a proof done.

E = MC² is somewhere on the second page of about four pages of math.

It’s the simplest form of the expression of the statement I used a few arrows and dashes to show.

Just so you know, Albert Einstein was a genius, but, he became a Vested Journeyman Carpenter as a result of his work.

===================================

Benjamin Franklin is another kind of story about secret knowledge.

I don‘t have the answers enough to say a conclusion about Ben Franklin.

I have some puzzle parts to share:

Franklin is the only person on US Currency who is not a US President, not counting a Buffalo, or coins.

Buffalo’s are not Buffalo’s anymore, they are “Bison“.

Ben is said to have flown a kite in a thunderstorm.

It won‘t work, you cannot fly a kite in a thunderstorm, something else happened.

A kite is another way of saying “Flag”, “Jack”, “Message”, “note”.

If you fly a kite, while the kite is aloft, a paper note with a tear, attached to the string, will somehow travel the length of the string to meet the kite, while aloft. Is a mystery why that happens, is secret knowledge.

Mr. Franklin was a lot of things, his grave marker says he was a “Printer”.

They put him on a one-hundred dollar bill.

“Hun“ means “Bitch” in Italian, or French slang.... maybe some other language, I learned it in Italian.

HunDred = Hun Dred = Hun Arrrhhhgggg Red = Dead Bitch (is based on a Verb “To Arrrgghhh”; is the activity of producing a primal war cry at the moment the sword swings to produce the Ell of the cut it makes)

“Jam” is to pack full; is a spread of fruit also.

In some places, “to Jam”, is to move swiftly, “We be jammin“ is really bookin‘ along.

Ben Jammin’ a long time.

“Let me be Frank with you”

“Frankly, we be jammin‘“

Benjamin Franklin is a mystery.

Something my brother used to say when he saw a hot chick somewhere:

“Must be jelly, ‘cause jam don‘t shake like that”

====================================

8:28 pm:

Find the people who mapped the first 255 ASCII symbols, to find Christian terror pirates. Hint: Bill Gates used to say “The” in between every other word he spoke.

@ = Alt 1600

Happened later. ============

============

9:10 pm:

https://twitter.com/i/events/1353786909659545601

Do math:

I once knew a friend, who refused be anyone’s friend, was hassled a lot in 1969. John Shipman.

He was very big kid, like a “Fat Albert” sort of kid.

The other kids called him “Bathtub”, because he was as heavy as a cast iron bathtub.

Shipman = Tubman

A hull of a cast iron tub of a boat. A Cast Iron Dingy.

Biden says they are on sale, $20 at the Church Yard Sale.

Joe’s WH Press Secretary does not have the word “Currency” in her vocabulary, is not wearing any makeup, and has a T-Shirt on for the national WH update. Is Substandard WH Press Release Subject Matter.

Bill Cosby: Buck Buck, from “Bill Cosby, Revenge”

Bill Cosby is a very funny fellow.

=========================

9:44 pm:

Bathtub Drain Plug, Two-Pack.

From Ebay:

Comes in black & grey.

https://www.bing.com/shop?q=Bathtub+drain+plug%2c+two+pack&FORM=SHOPTB

With time:

==============

9:51 pm:

Speculation:

Chinese Size:

(BTW: I am a white guy, Scottish descent. It won‘t help to round up or hurt Chinese people, or Scots.)

Joe Biden is a Shoe Cobbler, a Seventh Day Adventist Christian terror cannibal pirate who hunts virgins at the Elementary Schools.

The Tubman $20 terror comm from White House looks like a way to say:

“Bayonet”

and that translates to a Mutiny aboard the Pirate Ship, at the Bay, where the O says there is a Net.

The O is that gal in the green tee shirt.

Tea Shirt.

Boston Tax Party at the Bay.

If there are REAL POLICE anywhere near there, to do a net, then your cover is blown.

US Government is a Leaky, Leaky highway of child trafficking done by Christian pirates for the take over, and advance towards Global Domination Under the Cross.

That press secretary is showing all of the signs of a SDA terror soldier. She looks innocent, is presented as humble, uses no makeup, and is not condescending nor submissive.

She is a terror SDA messenger for Joe Biden.

However, I don‘t believe Joe Biden is in the White House at all. My read is that there are Amp Guru members there, secretly running the USA, but from a remote location somewhere else, such as Kauai, a Ranch there.

It’s all Time Warp terror.

Best guess, without being there, is Ann Wilson is the acting “President”, but is not the president, is a terrorist leader who took over the presidency in around 2008 as G.W. Bush was going out the back door, Wilson and crew came in through the service porch, and took over, all prepared beforehand with a lot of prearranged video they spent ten years making before the attack at the service porch.

I don‘t have all of the answers, but there is no one asking any questions anyway.

Ann Wilson. I am serious as a Heart Attack.

Deadly serious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUgQ4z3B0Qw

=========

10: 46 pm:

It’s the Twitter way to racially attack on behalf of Christian Pirates.

Twitter must be removed from the internet permanently as a very first step to solving global terrorism.

The Tweet is a targeting effort, is misguided, has no merit and is spoken in reverse, sounds like a good thing, but includes the address of Asians, for Chinese Take Out ordered through CBS news on Twitter in the name of a US President, who is not likely to be at the White House at all.

https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1353910405928808449

===========

11:06 pm:

More:

The $20 bill has two tens in common.

Each ten, is has the other in common, to make the $20.

That’s a “10-20″ physical location somewhere.

Amp Guru is the highest of high terror Christian pirate command, they live in a symbolic pyramid, a triangular prism.

Hamilton is featured on the $10 US Currency.

Democrats have famously adapted Hamilton into their Puerto Rican third world island tropical ways. (pirates say: “Emery Can“ when saying “American”. Emery board, or emery paper, is “Sand Paper”, a “beach” statement on rough sea’s, could be “White Caps” there. [this goes on forever into the Russian Mother Hoax from there]).

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in union with the SAG fake police “Pigs” protect and serve all of the terror Christian pirates.

So, the headline of the Twitter Trending news item, is a “Tutankhamun” Egyptian Pyramid high command statement, where “Two Tens in Common” is part of what is being said about the Tubman Iron Dingy with a leak in the 20.

To “speed up” the 20, is a complicated idea, need insider information to know what direction to read the terror comm. But I say that at least some of what is said is that Two RCMP are directed to solve whatever the problem is. Or, Two SAG actor fake police in uniform with real squad cars, or both, or a whole bunch of those guys, a “Blue Screen“ event, where 5 squad cars show up with ten fake police, at someone’s house, “The Chinese Take Out at the Ten 20 Address” is what it looks like... at my house again, because I keep spoiling their show.

=========================================

1-26-2021: 12:58 pm: “Speed Up”:

Speed = “distance over time”

They are pirates. The speed is measured in knotts.

““Travel a distance in time, there is a deadline, tie knotts.”

I remember this one, it’s a “Ye Olde English 800 Medieval” terror cell torture scenario, where the victim is disemboweled, intestines are tied in knots, the victim is told to do the tieing. It’s gruesome. The terror bastards took over all of the hospitals, so, the torture includes a pirate anesthesiologist who provides a pain free, surgical torture experience at the victims home with surgical grade anesthetic drugs. The victims observe and participate in their own dismantling. Happens at the house next to mine, 520 Jackpine, many of the victims there are kidnapped from the rest stop on I-5 nearby, and some are federal agents who refuse to do their own research, won‘t read the reports I make, trust the local authorities, who are pirates, and send them into traps, where they are captured and tortured to provide information that will lead to the pirate take over at the agency HQ.

=========================================

Blue Screen:

Also known as: “Bears on Wheels”

The terror event called a “Blue Screen” by the SAG leadership, and “Bears on Wheels” by the SDA terror soldiers, is the reason why the “Green Screen“ for digital movie making techniques turned green. It was a “Blue Screen“ at the studios, until they came up with the Blue Screen terror event, where a lot of fake police are sent to scare, capture, torture, and kill someone. They liked the idea of “Blue Screen” for the terror event label, as a cover so it can spoken about, so, to avoid confusion among the ranks, the digital studio’s (Pixar) turned their blue screens green.

The Pixar (Disney) green screen has been green for about 20 years, was blue before that.

First Pursuit

(Previous day - Departure)

Day Two - 1/03/18

Dear Diary ~

6:00 am.

I’ve just about woken up. I had an odd nightmare about getting shiftblock (the inability to shift - it can occur at any time or be triggered, and lemon juice tends to sort it out) in the bathroom and panicking about being stuck as a child. In the nightmare, the door handle was so high that I couldn’t reach it in the form of a child. I have strange nightmares. Very strange indeed.

I now need to get dressed, brush my teeth and neaten my hair (It seems to have decided to look like a bird’s nest this morning, and that isn’t exactly the look I go for these days. Maybe it was when I was at university, but certainly not now. I didn’t realise how ridiculous it looked). After that, I’ll go down and ask around at breakfast for a few hours to see if anyone’s seen Axel.

My main plans for today are to inquire in the restraunt during breakfast (I have a bizarre talent of making a bowl of cereal ask for several hours whilst still looking like I’m eating it), and then I’ll search for a few werewolves at the beach to see if Axel’s scent has been detected by anyone. I have his scarf in a carrier bag in my rucksack, so they’ll recognise it if they’ve smelt it anywhere. If I find someone who knows his scent, I’ll ask them to show me where they found it, and see if it leads anywhere. Hopefully, by then it’ll be mid-afternoon, so I will be able to ask around at any fish and chip shops. I know that there’s a cheap one in the area that we went to last time we both came, and I also know that fish and chips is his favourite food of all time. If he’s been here, he’ll have visited a fish and chip shop.

After all of that, there are two likely outcomes: I’ll have found a lead on him or I won’t have found one. Sadly, the latter seems a little more likely. If the former happens and he’s close by, I’ll track him down as quick as I can, even if it means being up all night. If the latter happens or he’s not close by, I’ll spend another night here and work things out in the morning.

9:32 am.

Good news and bad news. The good news is that no one stared at me for putting my rice krispies on toast. The bad news is that Axel left yesterday evening. However, this could be useful. It means that he’s been predictable. And a predictable Axel means a happy Victor. In other words, I should be able to guess where he’s going next, simply by thinking. I’ve lived with him for two years, and as a shifter, I pick up on people’s behavior patterns very quickly. I have to put on different personas to accurately pretend to be someone, and I know him very well. I can think how he thinks.

The other bad news is that it’s snowed overnight. A lot. I hate snow. This is also bad, because I planned on asking around to see if anyone’s noticed any frozen puddles, but all of the puddles will be frozen today. I should probably make my way to a busy café and ask people if they’ve seen him - or better, ask the wolves if they’ve scented him. As I mentioned earlier, Axel and I have been here before. I know of a café that’s frequented by mostly werewolves and vampires. They’ll notice that I’m a shifter almost immediately, but that’s fine. Shifters are accepted into the magical community here, unlike some places. It’s never nice to be part of a rejected species. The name of the café is “The Poisoned Lily”, which deters most humans and draws in those of the magic world. Anything with magic in its veins knows to never touch a lily.

12:44 pm.

I’m in the café now, with a cup of tea (milk last of course, very strong, one sugar) and a piece of cheese on toast. I very much like cheese on toast. Most places have a few cafés or pubs that are mostly visited by magical creatures or magic users, but this one is mostly used by vampires and werewolves, so I keep getting a few stares or glances. It’s run by werewolves, but they can easily get the stuff that vampires drink, so they tend to come here often as well. There’s even a pair of werewolves staring at me right now, so I might take that opportunity to ask them. You don’t pick fights in places like this, especially if you aren’t part of either species. Both species will get very territorial if they think I’m causing trouble. This is technically their territory, and they have the right to kill me if the alpha of the pack running the place thinks it’s the right cause of action. This is the reason why I usually wait for the right moment to ask people things. Picking fights is a bad idea, no matter what you are. They seem to have finished their conversation, so now might be a good time to ask.

I’ve asked the wolves, and they seemed rather friendly. They both smelt the scarf, and one of them said that one of the pack members smelt the same when she came in, so I should ask her. He said that she’s the one with ginger hair always tied in a very tight fishtail plait, so I’m going to finish my tea and go to find her. I’ll shift my way there; I don’t want to be detected if I’m going to go undetected. Without a photograph to study, I won’t have the time to mimic every detail without being close if I’m doing it without walking. It’s very busy here, so no one will think anything if I push past a few people. Pushing past people lets you touch their hand or arm without them noticing, an easy way of shifting to them without watching them first. There’s a vampire giving me the evil eye from the table behind me. She’s behind me, but I can see her reflection in the side of my mug. I don’t like that look, so I’ll have to leave my tea. If I shift to numerous people on the way until I find a pack member, anyone who’s been watching me should lose me by then.

1:03 pm.

I spoke to the werewolf girl, and it turns out that she helped Axel out when he was lost in a busy place. It was too noisy for him, so he panicked and nearly shifted. If she hadn’t got him away in time, he would have shifted in public. Not good. It might be slightly less obvious if I shift in public, but a werewolf trying to resist a shift can experience quite a bit of pain. That’s why they usually give into it, but obviously not in places like that. He’s going up to Tintagel to throw off the hunters, but then he’s planning on leaving tomorrow evening. If I want to catch him, it would be a good idea to get there as soon as possible. I asked her if they have WiFi, but they didn’t. I need to find out how to get to Tintagel from Newquay as quick as I can. It looks like the best cause of action is to go back to Journeybreak and connect to the internet there. It’s free internet, but I’m always terrible at connecting to it. I’ll ask for help.

1:52 pm.

Someone helped me connect to the WiFi in potentially the most patient way. I just shifted to an elderly man and asked for someone to help me “connect my phone to the wiffy”, and they helped me immediately. I’m in my room looking online now. I wanted to shift back, as my own hands are a lot less stiff than that particular elderly man’s hands.

Looks like I can get there by bus, and it should only cost me about £10. 

4:12 pm.

I’m now waiting for the werewolf near the castle visitor centre. I’m currently sheltering under a steep bit, but the wind is so strong that I’m getting snow on my diary, so I’ll have to shift soon. Tintagel Castle is closed today, due to the bad weather, so we’re taking advantage of that. We’ve both agreed to meet in wolf form, so I had better shift before he arrives. If he’s over ten minutes late, we’ve agreed that I’ll meet without him.

6:17 pm.

It went brilliantly. He was quite quiet, but he’s brilliant at his job. We tracked him from the bus stop down the path to the castle, where he had a rest for a long while, and then we tracked him as far as a nearby café, and we couldn’t find any more scent after that. Clearly, it would be weird if we just walked in and the werewolf went and sniffed everywhere in the café. Axel didn’t leave the café through the front entrance. We parted ways and I’m now sheltering in the café, waiting for a good time to shift to Axel and ask if the man at the counter knows where he went. The werewolf gave me the evidence, I thought it through. If he didn’t leave through the front entrance he could have left via a back door, a window, or some other entrance. And he can’t have done that without speaking to the man at the counter. Ah, simple logic. As soon as the man turns his back, I’ll shift to Axel and speak to him. He’ll likely be confused, as Axel just left, but I’ll question him about what happened. Axel isn’t running from me.

6:19 pm.

Axel already left. A few hours ago. He said he was going to Bodmin Parkway to get to Southampton by train. If I leave now, I’ll be able to get to the train station as soon as possible. I’ll get there at quarter past eight, and then I can check what time I can get the train. I need to hurry, so I’ll come back to my diary when I’m on the bus.

6:31 pm.

I’m on the bus. Barely, but on the bus. I’m completely exhausted, but I can’t rest yet. Not when I need to get to Axel. I don’t have signal on my phone, but I’ve ran out of data, anyway, so I wouldn’t have internet even with signal. I’ll read my book to keep myself occupied, and then I’ll get off the bus when it arrives.

8:20 pm.

I’m at the train station. I’ve found a timetable booklet, and I can check that for train times.

I’m too late to get all the way to Southampton now, but I can at least look into whether or not he left on the trains. Ideally, I would ask my friend Irene to help me by turning me invisible with her air magic, but she’s back in Ekkionport. Either way, this is a very little station. The best I can hope for is to find some form of information about when Axel was here. I have a picture of a vampire on my camera, so I can shift to him and use the night vision. Axel would have been one of the only people here for the last train - potentially the only person here. All evidence would point to him. If he was here at all. However, I know him. I can find out if he was here. The ticket machine would have his fingerprints. I bring fingerprinting powder with me because fingerprints are my speciality. I shift to the person, leave a fingerprint on a smooth surface and take a close up of it. Then I compare it to the fingerprints I find. I keep a small amount of luminol and an ultraviolet torch with me in case I have to check an area for vampire attacks, too. There are a lot of messy vampires in South Wales, believe me. It’ll also be useful to know if Axel bled, if I can find a hotel room he stayed in.

The ticket machine had prints all over it. I should have known. Stupid me. It should have been obvious. But despite all of that, there’s a ticket on the floor for the last train. I’ll fingerprint that to see if it’s his.

Bingo. He’s on a train to Southampton. He’ll get there this evening, but I can get there tomorrow morning. I’ll have some catching up to do, but he has a false sense of security now that he’s there. He won’t be as paranoid. However, I need rest. I’m low on money, so I can’t afford to sleep in another Journeybreak (if there’s one nearby, which there probably isn’t) or any other form of cheap hotel. I’ll have to sleep outside tonight. But that’s okay. Wolves have thick coats, so if I sleep outside a wam building in wolf form, but still hidden, I should be all right. I’ll be cold, but I’m utterly exhausted. I’ll go to sleep now and get up early to find a job. The earliest train leaves at ten past six. I don’t have enough to ride the train, but no one checks the luggage area for seagulls... or shapeshifters pretending to be seagulls...

Anyway, if I’m to get any sleep, I’ll need to put my diary away. This is Victor Wolfe signing out.

Author’s note: This post was written in the summer of 2017. It’s taken me nearly three years to grow the courage to post it publicly.  Time heals all wounds!  I hope you enjoy.

Waving goodbye to Amsterdam, our home for 3 years.

Did you know – moving a family of four and two pets to a foreign country is hard. In fact, it’s a giant logistical nightmare. I did. I learned that lesson, I learned it so hard 3 years ago moving to the Netherlands and muddling through immigration paperwork and not having a bank account because we don’t have a BSN yet (it’s like a social security number) and we can’t paid and we can’t get a BSNt….and so on and on and on. It’s a doom loop. It’s a doom loop in Dutch. But moving abroad has become like childbirth to me, after a couple of years I forget the pain and do it again. And there’s a lot of crying.  And nobody sleeps.

But this time it would be in English, and therefore much easier, right?  We’re only moving about an hour’s flight away, how bad can it be? Besides, we’re seasoned expats, wiser and more experienced now. Step 1 – book flights. Several times a day flights buzz between Holland and Scotland. They’re cheap and plentiful. No problem! Wait, what?  We can’t fly the dog on EasyJet or any of the quick jumpers into the UK. Hmmmm. Look, a fairy! I mean, look – a ferry! They have a kennel. Perfect for a multi-species move. Yes yes yes! Let’s move by ferry. How cool and adventurous. It’d be uber Zipp-like to move to a foreign country by ferry. We shall invade Scotland by sea! Neat-o.

Our previous experience with boats in Amsterdam gave us undue confidence. What could possibly go wrong?

So, we just book the tickets, 2 cabins for us + my mom (who so graciously/foolishly agreed to come visit/help us not commit acts of homicide while we pack and move). Check. Next we book the dog into the pet hotel. Check. Great. Now just notify them we are bringing Kitty as a carry-on (like we did on the plane when we moved to A’dam). Wait, huh? Why is it not allowing us to add the cat. Try it again. What if we depart from Rotterdam? Ugh. Call them. Sprek je Engels? Huh? We can’t have the cat on board without a car? But we don’t want to keep the car. We want to sell it so we can buy a UK car with a right-side-of-the-car-steering-wheel when we get there. It’s going to be difficult enough unlearning how to drive American-like in the UK. Oh, shut the front door! Are we really going to keep an ailing French mini-van with a passenger-side window that won’t roll down and a steering wheel on the wrong side of the car for a 5lb cat? Yes. Yes, that is exactly what we are going to do. Because life. Because family expatting is a series of maddening choices and ridiculous adaptations. It’s a relentless state of absurdity. Because that’s how Zipps do. No creature left behind. Check.

Ok, transport of humans and pets secured. Now what about our stuff? Step 2 – pack up and go. This time around, in the most adulting moment of my life thus far, we hired actual professional movers to pack up our shit. Why not? My employer is paying relocation expenses. Well done, Dr. Fancy Pants. I thought we were well organised. We laughed at how much we’d accumulated in 3 years. Wasn’t it just yesterday we packed ALL of our belongings into 9 Army duffle bags and boarded the plane to Amsterdam? Yeah, we moved our entire family across the Atlantic packed into 9 bags. Nothing more. And one half of those bags was my Ph.D. fieldwork papers. (Fun tip – we precisely weighed each bag by using the scale at the vet’s office where we went approximately 743 times trying to get the appropriate Pet Passport for the dog). Now, the movers handed me the inventory list – 100 boxes. 100 boxes? WTH? No matter, it was all out of sight, out of mind for now. See you on the flipside, boxes of crap. We’re down to the bare minimum. T-minus 9 days to departure. Just a few more issues to tidy up, then it’s time to kick back, relax and enjoy our final week in the lovely city of Amsterdam (stay tuned for a post, eventually to be written, on my deep, warm and conflicted feelings about life in the ‘dam and saying goodbye to my favourite city in the world).

So, we calmly went about packing up our Dutch lives. Er, rather, we scrambled every last minute, failing to find more than a few fleeting moments of peace in our last days there. We sold stuff on a thousand different marketplaces. We patched holes and fretted over which dishes were ours and which came with the apartment, etc. because our skeevy landlord will try to cheat us (separating expats from their security deposits is a hobby of Dutch landlords). I remember the feeling 3 years ago, whilst scrambling to pack up our American lives. Just get to the airport. Once we get checked in at the airport, we can relax. Breath. Panic. Breath. Repeat. 

Delierious with joy over are good choices, smart planning and simple lifestyle. Also pictured: cat that almost ruined everything, twice.

We tried, desperately, to capture the final bike rides and boat rides on camera. Fleeting moments of exquisite presence. We tried to celebrate, laugh, hug, cry and properly say goodbye to our family of expats. We tried to make space for our girls to spend those final, fleeting days with their buddies. Good god, we have been through some shit with these people over the past 3 years. Expat friendships, for big and little ones, are bonded in a crucible. Never forget this place. This stuff has been magical. Breath. Have presence. Enjoy? Pack, organise, DO SOMETHING. Did you cancel the internet service? Pay the parking ticket? How do we forward the mail? Notify the Belastingdienst? Sprek je Engels? 

And that’s when we noticed the cat was missing. Yes, the cat. The cat that caused us to keep the car. The car that caused us to pay a shit ton more for the ferry. The ferry that will take us to Scotland. The Scotland that will distill the whisky. The whisky that will taste so good when we drink it.  But I digress . . . the next few hours were a furious chaos of packing and loading and searching for the fecking cat. The children are weeping for the cat. My mom is organizing a search party while I cooly ignore this tangent of madness, because I am confident the cat is simply hiding. “The cat is missing, mom. Start acting like it!” my sweet youngest daughter screams at me and slams the door. I ignore her and discreetly throw out bags of forgotten little toy scraps that no one will remember so long as they aren’t seen during the throwing out process. Hours later, the cat is found hiding under a bed. I smugly chastise my panicked family. They fail to thank me for my calm resolve.

In spite all of our diligent #adulting, expensive movers and good intentions, here we are, literally running from the apartment with armloads of shit dumped out from random drawers whilst the landlord arrived from the other side of the building for our final check out.

It was like a scene from a Benny Hill movie, I’m sure. Cut to scene – exterior of building, black and white at 1.5 speed: Zipp parents frantically scrambling and stumbling out the front door, arms laden with useless plastic items, while the Landlord calmly strolls in the back door, clipboard and magnifying glass in hand. Cut to shot of kids, pets and granny in the car screaming, crying and flailing wildly.  Cut to Aaron opening driver door, pointing forward confidently and saying: Onward march – take to the seas! (in the captions). Can you hear the music?

People overuse the term, “stuffed in like a can of sardines.”  This is not one of those times.  We stuffed said crap into every nook and cranny of our van. So, there we were; 4 Zipps, my mom, our old dog with bad gas and a cat.  Everyone but the driver had items crammed under and around her feet as well as on her lap/between her body and the door or other passenger. I am not exaggerating. It felt difficult to breath in there. When we finally pulled up to the ferry door, I yelled at my children – “act natural, pretend like you have plenty of room! And for God’s sake, don’t mention the head lice!” I thought we might be over the weight limit or something. I knew we were technically one centimeter over the height limit, although I was sure the massive weight load was compressing us down at least that much.

We love our pets, Nana is losing her mind!

Jonah (the dog) smells funny

Pipsqueak the Mighty

  Maybe if the kids just smile at the check in guy they’ll let us go without any questions. I really don’t know, the whole thing was so sketchy because we weren’t sure if our car was too tall with the roof carrier on top and we were still recovering from some confusion regarding the pets on board (Fun Fact – Our 70lb geriatric labrador was perched up on a stack of luggage in the back of the van so high he could not get out on his own accord. So while we were waiting in line for the ferry (for hours) I had to unload and load him in “gently” whilst containing the stack of threatening-to-spill-out luggage with one knee. It was a long line. He had to get checked in too. My “gentle” level decreased with each outing). For once the gods smiled upon us and no one asked questions. We rolled in and were literally the last car on our platform. After a brief game of where-the-hell-is-the-cat-that-required-us-to-bring-a-wrong-side-of-the-road-driving-car-to-the-UK?, we deboarded the van and checked into our cabins.

My mom has never in 12 years of grandmothering ever chosen to not spend more time with her grandkids. But that night, with her head bent in (what I think was a bit of shame or guilt) she asked if she could have the key to a cabin and stay alone. Without her grandbabies. Yes mom, save yourself.  We broke the Na-na. My mom has never before or since rejected a moment’s time with her dear little grandchildren. I rejected the urge to jump overboard.

Ferry of Doom or Ferry of Freedom?

But we made it. We were on the ferry. Breathe. Deep sigh of relief. Enjoy the ride. It was fun and adventurous to travel by ferry. I highly recommend it. 15+ hours later, with minimal sleep and a deep sense of relief mixed with sadness, we calmly exited the ferry. Just a wee three hour drive to our new home.  Left, left, left. Remember to drive on the left, honey. We inched forward in an endless procession of vehicles exiting the ferry.  Last in, last out. 

That’s when Aaron turned to me, panicked face – “oh shit, we’re out of gas!”  In the mayhem getting to the ferry, we forgot to fill up. OMG. We cannot run out of gas on a ferry or in the border patrol line.  No exaggeration at all, we were on E. It gets worse.  When we finally got off the ferry, there was a line of cars snaking its way to the border gate. We would never make it. This was a trail of tears, eeking forward a car’s length every 5 minutes. It was a minimum hour wait and we had a maximum 15 minutes of fuel. 

One last time, I un-gently unpacked the dog from the back of the van to walk him.  A border agent passed and I tearfully pleaded our case.  “Well, we don’t need a broken down vehicle holding up this line.” He was so kind, really un-Dutch in his kindness and willingness to help. Within minutes, we were ushered around the line to front.  We pulled up to the border entrance window. Wait, oops. The driver is on the wrong side. Ha ha ha! I was in the passenger seat. Let me just roll down the window to hand you the passports…oh, yeah. The window-roller-downer is broken. Ha ha ha. Aaron, if you just pull up a tad, I can open the door. Oops, sorry everyone in line behind us! Here ya go, border patrol lady.  I stepped out and handed the agent our clutch of passports. “Your Visas haven’t yet been processed, so you’ll need to re-enter another time.”  Wait, what now?  We can’t come in?  We chatted. We worked it out. Kindness and understanding from her and her colleagues that I cannot understate. Sorted, as the Scottish say.  She let us through, although I’m not sure we entered 100% legally. 

Bumbling and fumbling, we crossed the finish line to begin again.  Stay left, keep the rubber side down and journey onward. Love, trust and (Gaelic) pixiedust. 

Welcome to the United Kingdom. Mixed emotions.

Day 10/40: Train Up A Child

Start at Day 1

Today, we make a giant pivot from politics to child development. When I started writing my faith journey story, I had some main topics in mind as I considered the big issues that caused me to leave Evangelicalism. Today’s topic is, just like yesterday, NOT one of the “Big Three” (homosexuality, hell, evolution). Also just like yesterday, I am struck by how this seemingly peripheral issue had such a profound impact on my deconstruction. 

Becoming a mom inspired me to look back at the “Biblical" advice that had been preached to the parents of my own generation. It’s interesting to imagine what it was like for our parents in the 1980s, before life was made so different by having the Internet at our literal fingertips. They didn’t have as many parenting tools at their disposal as we do now, but what they did have was Dr. James C. Dobson. 

Oh, Dr. Dobson. Not many men have had a more profound impact on the American evangelical subculture and the world at large. He first came on the scene in 1970, with his book Dare to Discipline. Dobson had grown dismayed at the social and cultural upheaval he saw around him in the 1960s, blamed it partly on permissive parenting, and thought he had the answer: corporal punishment. To be sure, there was more to his parenting philosophy than spanking and paddling, but he seemed to feel strongly that this specific form of child discipline was a Biblical principle, and it was this main piece of advice that distinguished him from the secular parenting experts of the time. 

Proponents of spanking (Dobson wasn’t/isn't the only one) hold to a literal-ish interpretation of Bible verses that refer to using a “rod” when disciplining a child. [I say “literal-ish” because usually the recommended modern implements include hands, belts, paddles, but not literal rods, though sometimes a wooden switch or paint stirring stick are called for, and maybe those are technically rods?] The most well-known verse is Proverbs 13:24, which says, "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.” This is the closest the Bible gets to the popular saying “spare the rod, spoil the child,” which actually comes from a 17th century satirical poem. 

Even though research has shown how harmful and ineffective the corporal punishment of children is, and 58 countries have outlawed its use, many conservative Christians continue to endorse it. If anything, the secular world’s outcry against it just strengthens their resolve, because it makes sense to the evangelical worldview that secular (i.e., ungodly) authorities would contradict the Bible’s teachings. 

I’ve mentioned before the “high stakes” involved in evangelicalism because of the belief in hell. Step one on their path to being saved is admitting you are a sinner. This applies even to the youngest of children, because the theology of “original sin” teaches that Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden resulted in all of humankind inheriting their sin nature. We are all born inherently broken, “fallen” in spirit, soul, and body. In this worldview, it is highly important that parents remain in control of their children, because disobedient children aren’t just rebelling against their parents; their hearts are sinning against God himself. Often in conservative Christian circles, children are {jokingly? fondly?} referred to as “little sinners.” Those who espouse this theology will often point to the demanding tantrums of toddlers as proof that humans have sinful hearts from the beginning. Babies are described as selfish and manipulative because of the way they dominate their parents’ time and attention. 

[Look, I get it. Kids are hard work. Sometimes at my weaker moments, I even equate my kids to little jerks, because I find their behavior so infuriating. BUT I’M NOT CLAIMING TO SPEAK FOR GOD. I’d like to think God has more patience than I do, and looks more tenderly on all of us.] 

I’d never especially cared for the teaching of original sin, because it seemed unfair to me, but it was one of those mysteries I tried to trust God with. I grew bored over the debates about it in high school and college, partly because I disliked conflict, but mostly because it all seemed so theoretical and distant. Having a child of my own suddenly made it personal. I had to face the implications because she was literally staring into my eyes. What was I going to teach this beautiful baby in my arms about her true essence as a human being? I couldn’t bear the thought of teaching her that she was inherently polluted and broken.

But what did I know? Wasn’t I just being an emotional, sentimental woman? Then I learned that the ancient Hebrew word for God’s compassion and mercy is ra-cha-mim, taken from the root word re-chem, meaning “womb.” But of course. It wasn’t “soft" to feel deep, protective love for my baby; a mother’s love for the child that grew inside her was a reflection of how God herself looked at all of her children. [If God’s mercy metaphorically comes from a uterus, then God gets a feminine pronoun.] 

This shouldn’t need explaining, but babies cry to get their physical and emotional needs met so they can survive and thrive. The fact that my infant daughter cried for milk every few hours and that my body automatically knew to respond to those cries was a marvel of creation, not a sign of her selfishness. The idea that "needs drive behavior” doesn’t quit applying when our children grow out of the baby stage. All children (and adults!) have important needs, for things like food, human touch, comfort, safety, connection, and exploration. 

So much of parenting (and life, really) turns out to be about the stories my brain tells myself about what is happening. If I believe the child in front of me is acting out of a sinful heart, I’m going to assume negative intent to their actions instead of looking for the message underneath the behavior. Sometimes a kid throws a fit because their blood sugar is low and they need a snack (this is also applicable to adults). Consider how differently we’d respond if we recognized that tantrums are not only normal and sometimes unavoidable, but actually an important and necessary part of how a child learns to deal with their overwhelming emotions? 

As my daughter grew older, we noticed that she was experiencing higher than normal levels of emotional “out of control-ness.” That introduced us to a whole new world of therapy, anxiety disorders, neurologists, sensory processing issues, and pediatric sleep specialists. What showed up in my child as anger, aggression, and tantrums turned out to be the result of anxiety fueled by a neurodevelopmental disorder, a highly sensitive nervous system, and fearful, negative self-talk. I can’t imagine the harm to my child’s heart if we had been treating her outbursts as “sinful” misbehavior. 

I’m so thankful that I ignored the mainstream “Biblical” parenting mindset that would have utterly failed my daughter. My heart breaks when I consider all the children harshly disciplined for what their parents were primed to see as “sin,” when in reality their poor little bodies were dealing with something else entirely: e.g., sensory processing disorders, trauma responses, ADHD, and autism, just to name a few. 

It’s true that many of these conditions are things that we've only really started understanding in the last few decades, so maybe it’s unfair to expect Dr. Dobson’s book, written 50 years ago, to align with the new information we have today. That’s exactly where the idea of “Biblical” advice broke down for me. Evangelicals hold the Bible in very high regard, and many like to refer to it as “God’s instruction manual for life.” The whole conservative Christian system of belief is predicated on the idea that the Bible’s truths and morals are timeless and that’s why we should take them so seriously. 

My experience with my daughter demolished my blind automatic trust in all things labeled “Biblical.” I wasn’t anywhere near considering throwing out the Bible yet, but I was becoming more suspicious of the advice given in its name. Learning about the differing Christian beliefs about politics and child development seemed to be proving that Christians could find Bible verses to support any position they wanted to hold. If "cherry-picking” was so prone to happen, then how did we figure out which ideals and values were the ones God truly wanted us to hold? This was the question driving me as my deconstruction began.

Talking Tickets 31 January 2020

Hey There!

Thanks for being here again this week. If you are enjoying this newsletter, tell your friends and colleagues to sign up by visiting this link.

Yesterday saw the release of “What Matters In Tickets Now!” an ebook that I put together in partnership with my friends at Booking Protect.

I can say that this is one of the coolest things we’ve pulled together so far: 40 perspectives on the world of tickets and how to make more sales! It is great!

In conjunction with the launch of the ebook, we are putting together a special webinar with key ideas, takeaways, and action items to make the ideas from the ebook take hold in your organization. The webinar will be Wednesday, 26 February, and we will have a landing page to sign up ready for next week’s email, but if you want to make certain you get hooked up…reply to this email.

To the tickets!

————————————————————————————————————

1. Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash in the Los Angeles area:

Like all of us, Kobe Bryant had a complex history. And, one of the more mature things I’ve learned over the years is the understanding that no matter how you feel on a topic, your feelings are valid. So I am cognizant of the people celebrating his life and pointing out his failings, all of those feelings are valid.

I mention that because I don’t want to make a values-based judgment on this story, but I did want to discuss this because I think it highlights a few big points about what sports does for us and why sports and live events matter:

First, this story reflects the power of community that live events foster. I heard Bill Simmons talk about how Kobe’s death feels like it is hanging over the community. This is in death, but if you look through history, you’ve seen how sports also has pulled communities together, if only for a short time like when the Caps won the Stanley Cup. 

Second, this story points to the irrational nature of our likes, dislikes, and fandom. As many announcers pointed out, most people never met Kobe, so they didn’t know him, but they felt a real pain at his loss. While, I’m looking at this through the lens of Kobe, this equally applies to any athlete, team, or star. I mean, I have no rational reason for disliking the Oklahoma City Thunder, but because I was a Supersonics season ticket holder when I was a young adult, the ache of the loss of the Sonics is still there. 

Finally, it reflects the power of shared experiences. Sometimes, in a world where everything feels like it is on-demand or at our fingertips, we can miss shared experiences and that should be a lesson that we apply to the way we present events. 

2. The Super Bowl is on Sunday and the death of the NFL seems to have been a myth:

The challenges and opportunities that the NFL are looking at over the next few years likely deserve its own series of blog posts, but right now you can’t help but respect the turnaround that they NFL and its teams have managed.

$16B in revenue, rating increases, new stars, and more.

The article above does raise a lot of good questions about where the business will go next with gambling, chord cutting, and changing tastes of modern consumers.

But as we head into the Super Bowl, we can learn a lot from the NFL like how consistency and focus can help you weather a storm; how to monetize an audience; and how to respond to drops in business.

Plus, this year’s Super Bowl is an especially hot ticket! 

My question to you is who do you have in the game and what’s the score? I’ll come up with some prize for the person that picks the winner and is closest to the score. I don’t know what it will be, but we can figure out something fun…maybe buy you a drink or something.

3. StubHub could face legal action in the UK for deceptive pricing:

I’m not an anti-trust lawyer, but my lady is…so I don’t know the legal ramifications of the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority’s investigation into the merger of StubHub and Viagogo, but I can guess stories like this don’t help the merger in any market that is investigating it.

Unless you live in the United States where anti-trust enforcement hasn’t really been very strict for 30+ years and the rule of law seems to be optional in a lot of cases lately.

The context of a story likely helps a lot of you:

In the UK, the secondary market isn’t as big of a part of the ecosystem as it is in the United States. While resale has become more common over the last few years, professional trading is often frowned upon.

My argument to the traders that I am in touch with has often been that if you want to work in resale and be a valued part of the system, you have to work to constantly improve your value, deliver something differentiated from the primary market, and be above board in your business practices.

So a story like this hits right at the heart of what folks dislike about professional “touts” and the secondary market in general.

Add this to the public’s distrust of Viagogo and you can see that this isn’t helpful to any ongoing investigation of their merger or further or greater public acceptance of the secondary market in the UK or other countries around the world.

4. Live Nation’s updated consent decree is filed:

There was a few things going on with Live Nation this week that probably were worth paying attention to:

First, the consent decree. The new filing shows that Live Nation and Ticketmaster broke the decree on, at least, 6 occasions.

Live Nation pushes back talking about 6 alleged instances in around 5,000 deals.

A new $1M penalty for each transgression, a deal cut quickly, and dropped at a time totally designed for people not to notice it!

It looks like a victory for Live Nation to me!

Second, Live Nation is building a war chest to acquire more businesses. 

There is a lot of consolidation in the ticketing technology area going on right now and I don’t know if or when there will be some sort of correction.

What all of this massive amount of consolidation signals to me is that there is room for smaller and nimble competitors to swoop in and win a lot of business because as these companies grow larger, it is going to be incredibly difficult for these companies to service everyone effectively.

Finally, Live Nation completes the acquisition of the UK’s largest concert promoter. 

Over the next few years, this will bear watching because industry practices and consumer protection laws are much different in the UK and how this impacts the distribution of shows and Ticketmaster’s ability to win more business in the UK bears watching.

5. The CoronaVirus is causing troubles for sports business:

A few weeks back I had Greg Turner come on the podcast to share a bunch of stuff about China with us. Due to the nature of the Chinese internet and the way that they control access to websites and other things, that conversation was corrupted due to some technical difficulties and we figured out a way to rerecord our conversation to make sure we could have a proper chat.

On this new conversation we talked about a bunch of stuff, but we got into the conversation about the virus and how it is causing the cancellation of the X Games, the World Indoor Athletic Championships, and the Chinese Basketball Association is postponing play during the crisis.

Greg has a lot of insight into the situation in China, but seeing the AFL’s conversation around their annual China game continued to raise these issues for me and begged a couple of questions:

What’s the long-term impact of a virus or outbreak like this?

How do we prepare for these types of outbreaks when we can’t and don’t know when they will happen? 

What would you do if something like this started during a big event like the Olympics? 

These are complex questions and they mirror in many ways the questions I raised when considering the impact of climate change on events a few weeks back.

What am I up to this week?

#long ass post #answers #i spent an entire hour on this

[vulbyte]

story time!

hi, sorry but i haven’t posted anything good in a while so i thought i’d post something related to the animation i’m working on!... it’s only a small chunk and i’m kinda nervous about posting this but i’d love some feed back, so i hope you all enjoy!.. also this will related to the comic and animation so please keep that in mind... also, please don’t be too harsh...

prolouge

>insert and family is out on their yearly camping trip. The day is a normal clear day. The drive to the camping grounds is along a paved dirt road with trees to both sides. There are trees to both sides and the road is quite long, insert is waking up from his sleep and this is where the story starts…<

Chapter 1: back again for the dozenth time.

I wake from my sleep with a bang to my head and an instant headache. I quickly jolt up with the music from my phone still playing in my ears. It’s house music, with bleed from the car's stereo. I look out the window to my right seeing the bumpy gravel road and a wall of pine trees… as we pass the trees it all looks so similar like a pattern on loop… there’s very little fauna on the ground due to the lack of light caused by the canopy of the trees… any part of light that does shine threw looks like a small island in a sea of orange dead plant remains…

    I look forward seeing that my parents sitting in the front seat. Lightly bobbing and dipping their heads to the music that they're listening to. Dads tapping his fingers on the wheel while he’s snickering about something, while mom taps her hand on the wheel. i can't stand the “best of the 80’s” rock my dad likes so much. Not for the fact it’s rock, but for the idea of listening to the same song for the 200th time is just too much. I would love for him to be a little more open minded about his music choices but it’s just a never ending uphill battle with bad puns mocking the1 edm artist he knows i like and endless claiming that edm isn’t music. But i got my lovely headphones which have broke at least 10 times but i'm too cheap to replace them and i can deal with the slight noise they give off.

    I look to my right noticing my younger brother and sister some how sleeping threw that massive pot hole. My brothers against the left door. Drool running down his face and down the door dripping on the handle. My sister’s head is tilted right forward supported only by her neck and her chest. I move my left arm noticing how uncomfortable it is and i can quickly feel all the blood rushing back into my arm making me feel like i got dozens of pins suddenly stuck in my arm. I notice dad glance in the rear view mirror look back in the mirror and notice that i’m now awake. I can notice him talking but can’t hear a word he’s saying due to my music. Take an ear bud out to hear the middle of his “good morning world” speech…

“-lmost at the camp ground! Can’t wait for this weekend! How about you kid?”

“other than the recent blunt force trauma to my head i think alright…”

“Yeah, meant to hit that one. Was hoping you and the others would wake up!”

    “welp, your plan worked for one of us…”

“Meh, better one than none…”

        “thanks, my brain cells appreciate it…”

Mom quickly buts into the conversation sensing my bitter mood.

        “Hey hun, could you please take this piece of paper to the office once we park at the camp ground and tell them that we’ve arrived?”

    “sure, i can probably say hi so shawn while i’m there.”

        “Thanks, hun!”

I notice we’re right beside the office as she says this and i quickly jump out of the car ignoring the whole wait “till we park” so i don't have to wait 10 minutes for dad to back it.

I look upon the rotting shack thinking of how this place was when i was much younger. Now it just looks like an old house outta a bad horror movie. I look thru the window on the door trying to see shawn while i walk in. i quickly hear a chime followed by shawns voice coming from behind the counter,

“Just a second!”

    I look over the counter seeing the big guys ass move back and forth while trying to do something to the computer. I look around the office placing the paper on the counter, noticing a chair behind me. Kick the chair behind me and fall back into it. Making a screeching across the floor. I see a small spark and shawn's voice quickly follows

“FUCK! Shit shouldn't have said that with a customer in here. Fuck, shouldn’t have said that… i should just shut the fuck up… i’m just going to shut up…”

    “yea, ya should.”

“Hey! Is that you insert?!”

    “yup” (adding a popping sound after words.)

“Hey, i know i asked you this the other day but why did you literally change all your usernames to that?”

    “a bunch of annoying idiots in school where mocking me in school, they were pissed i was inserted into their group last year even though i did literally all of the work and got them a high b. buy anyways they started calling me insert along with rest of the school. It started to bug me but i decided to own it and it still bugs me but least i own it and other people can’t use it to bug me. a kinda win…”

“Well, ya should stop moving so much”

    “ya, i can totally control what my parents do”

“Oh hey, did you know the tides supposed to be really low tonight?

    “yay, another low tide. we can go pick dead seaweed and watch crabs eat dead starfish.”

“No, it’s supposed to be really low.”

    “okay, i see what you’re getting at. how low?”

“Low enough to see the what's at the bottom of sandy bay...”

    “what’s at the bottom?”

“No once can tell, the currents so strong they can’t send divers in there because they’ll get pinned against the bays seamounts.” and the sand causes whatever is down there to be distorted. They got a good idea what’s down there but they're not completely certain.”

    “okay. so there’s going to be a massively low tide on a super crowded beach, you know how i hate being in crowded areas…”

“Dude, thats the best part! Did you hear about that big earthquake yesterday up north?”

“no, i’ve been in a car for the last 2 days with the only access to internet being the hotel wi-fi for 30min before i passed out at 4am, and the 3 gigs of cell data, no wait. 1.5 gigs because i need the other half to get back and i’m not wasting it looking for news.”

“Okay okay i get ya, i know you’re a music whore”

    “bitch you know i am!”

“Anyways, there is going to be another one tonight that’s supposed to cause a huge rip! an-”

    “how big?”

“Huge! At least  250 km long and 50 km wide there expecting!”

    “woah, where is it happening?”

“That’s the best and probably only good part! From ahousat down to seattle!” there’s a huge evacuation going on because of it!”

    “ya realize we’re there right?”

“Ya, my parents already jumped ship. They were practically dragging me out the door but i convinced them to let me stay!”

    “how?!”

“Well i told them what i told you at the beginning.”

    “I know you better than that. What you actually say?”

“...i told them i’d watch over the visitors…”

    “was that so hard?”

“Yeah! If i skip work to go to this this thing you’ll tell my parents!”

    “dude, i said something that you did which i don’t even think is or was bad in front of old staff of this place. when we were 8! we’ve literally doubled our life since then. and other than that technicality i would never tell on you! You’ve covered me more than enough! now shut up and when’s this thing happening?”

“It’s supposed to fracture at around 1am tonight.”

    “what’s supposed to fracture?”

“Remember 8th grade scie-”

    “ohhhhhh, so a tectonic plate is going to break off tonight? or at least a chunk?”

“Before you interrupted me i was going to tell you that but yeah, it is…”

    “so you wanna meet up on the beach later tonight? just us?”

“No man! I gotta work!”

    “uhhh, we’re the only ones staying here tonight. literally the whole campground is empty except for us. and probably the town now that i think about it.”

“Fine! You promise not to tell!”

    “what are we? 8 again? of course i won’t tell on you if you come! but i might say ya did if ya don’t!”

“Fine! I’ll come but you better not tell!”

    “for the 3rd time i won’t, and this is your thing not mine. you should be pumped!”

“I am but i’m also scared about what my parents might say or do if they find out!”

I turn around walk towards the door and walk thru the door and say

“they won’t meet me at my campground tonight!

And i shut the door behind me.
