#wait it's June 1st isn't it

[milaswriting]

Update. — 27th June 2023.

Happy Pride Month 🌈 to those who have been celebrating. Much love to you all.

It's been a while since a progress update which isn't great from me, but now I'm posting one with a much neater and more professional look. My thoughts are that I'll post these at least once a month so readers are always kept in the loop as I feel like I've kept you all in the dark recently about what’s been going on. Anywhoo…

Firstly, I finished my undergraduate degree! My results that came out confirmed that I'll be graduating. I’m graduating with a 1st which is the highest degree classification that can be awarded in the UK — so, this writer is kinda smart and will be throwing a grad cap in the air — so that's kind of a huge personal accomplishment!

But more importantly, in interactive fiction terms anyway, I finished chapter 10! It's done. She's a chunky chapter that's full of loads of... stuff and drama! There's so much going on in the chapter: angst, comfort, a new character, found family — so you're in for a ride, to say the least.

I made a few changes too. The reader can choose/input their own pronouns, your mc can choose whether or not they wear glasses, there are new graphics for those that play with a black background (shown below!), alongside some editorial stuff — new choices etc. It's now with the beta readers.

On top of chapter 10, there's also Tumblr stuff that will be made available. I've had a cool, chapter 10 sneak peek edit in my drafts that I'll be posting tomorrow. I hit a follower milestone, so when the public update is out I'll be doing a follower giveaway.

Soo, as an overview: in eight months I wrote a 10k word dissertation, bagged a degree, got accepted to do a master's degree, and finished writing a 73k word chapter. So, whilst I hate that this update has been a long time coming, a lot of academic stuff happened in my life which made a lot of things hectic.

I really appreciate you being patient with me. I know it's not easy or fun waiting for wip updates, but there is a Golden one on the horizon and I hope it will be worth the wait.

Heyy.!

I'd like to request a little sister turtle reader.! If you have seen @buggy-cj, I have requested a little sister reader from her.! And she did an awesome job, and I've just read and seen most of your posts. And WOW.! People know how to create masterpieces, really-

Little sister is 12, and has a dark green mask. And unlike her brothers, she doesn't have any markings on her body. She's just a regular pond turtle. So she feels really insecure from being different from her family. Since she's the only girl, and she isn't very special in her opinion.

Thank you for reading this.!!

A/N, not important: Sorry this took so long, I struggled pretty badly with it :/. ASLO, I'm going to be gone for the next week, and will be unable to look at tumblr from Sunday, May 28th, to Thursday, June 1st. You can still talk to me all you want, but please be patient when waiting for my response. This is my last request I needed to get done with before I could start working on the 100/200 follower special. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.

-Ollie

Tw: crying, reader being kind of cold to their siblings, feelings of self-doubt and inferiority, my writing

Words: 1623

Summary: Your confidence was shot, and the self-loathing was seeping in. Sometimes, all you need is a hug from your father to get it all to spill out.

Curled up against the corner of the subway cart where my bed sat, I read my book, headphones on but no music playing. My eyes run over the same lines over and over, my brain not processing the words. I groan, flitting back a page so I could understand what was going on, trying to ignore the turbulence of my emotions, just as I was ignoring my brothers. I wipe my eyes again as another tear escapes my hold, holding my breath until the uncertainty and sorrow slips back down my throat. I take a deep breath, glancing at the mirror Mikey helped hang on my wall, making sure there wasn’t any sign of my tears.

A knock at the metal walls of my room startles me, my book slamming shut in my hands. I flip through the pages with gritted teeth, trying desperately to find my page. I glance up at Leo as he enters, his hands on his hips as he smiles down at me. “Ah, sorry. Did I scare you?” Leo’s voice floods my ears, his presence bringing up the feelings of inferiority I was trying to shove down.

I grumble a bit, marking my page before setting my book down, glaring at my older brother in annoyance. Leo just grins at me, his teeth showing as he laughs slightly. Leo starts to pull me by my arm, trying to drag me off my bed. “C’mon, Mikey made dinner. He wants everyone at the dinner table, pronto!”

I groan but slide off the bed, grabbing my green mask and tying it on before letting Leo drag me towards the kitchen. We both hurry to the kitchen, sliding into the chairs right as Mikey sets a big pot of stew on the table. I silently thank him, nodding my head as we all start to serve ourselves, Raph and Donnie having already been seated. I eat my food, mindlessly listening to the conversation flowing around me, only giving input when specifically prompted. I tried to ignore the way Raph stared, the concern in his eyes growing. I pretended to not notice the side glances Donnie and Leo gave me at my non-committal answers. I avoided Mikey’s worried eyes.

I silently chew at the chunks in my stew, staring intently at the grain of the table, as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. Raph clears his throat, trying to get my attention. I ignore him. 

“(Y/n),” Raph starts, his voice low, care and sympathy mixed with agitation. All other conversation goes silent, everyone staring at Raph and I. I glance up at Raph, but don’t respond. He sighs, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms. “Are you okay? I can’t help but notice you’ve been… Distant, lately. Raph’s worried. We’re all worried.”

I pick my head up, bringing my spoon to my mouth and loudly slurping the contents of the stew. Raph’s eye twitches as his chasm deepens.

“He’s not kidding, (Y/n). We’ve all noticed your… Lack of energy. We just want to know what’s going on.” Mikey chimes in, stirring his bowl of stew absent-mindedly. Leo and Donnie nod, agreeing with what Mikey said.

Leo shifts in his seat, leaning in close to me and slinging his arm around my shoulder. He tugs me closer, a sad smile on my face as he noogies the top of my head. I huff, pushing him off and fixing my mask after he knocked it crooked. Leo smiles softly, patting my head before I could pull back. “You know you can talk to us, right? We’re your older brothers, not your enemies. We can tell something’s wrong.”

They all look at me expectantly, as if they thought their words would magically get me to spill everything out. I take another bite of my food, chewing obnoxiously long. Raph’s eyebrow muscles furrow, his mouth opening as if he was about to say something, but I cut him off. “I though this was dinner, not an interrogation.”

Raph glares at me as I continue to eat my dinner, picking my bowl up and drinking the rest down. I felt bad, guilt starting to swirl in with the rest of the misery and feelings of inadequacy. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand when I finish my stew, standing up and punishing the chair back with the back of my legs. “I’m going back to my room. Have fun.”

“We’re going on a patrol, actually.” Donnie corrects, scrolling through his phone. I look at him, frowning.

“Not going. Have fun.” I say, dropping my bowl off in the sink and starting to wash it out. Leo stands up as Raph sputters, Leo patting Raph on the shoulder and whispering something to him before joining me at the sink with his own bowl. He nudges me to the side, taking over the sink and washes the bowls out before silently handing them to me to dry.

“Why don’t you want to go?”

I look at Leo, drying the bowls with the towel before setting them on the counter. I shrug, not sure what to say. Leo hands me the next bowl, turning around and leaning against the counter. 

“You know you can trust us with anything, right? We’re not going to get mad if you’re upset, or if  something’s wrong. We just want to help you.” We both ignored the hushed arguing coming from the table.

I look away from Leo, putting the bowls back away. Leo lets out a breath, patting me on the back. “You don’t have to go. I’ll talk to the others.” He says quietly, letting me escape to my room. I smile gratefully at Leo before slipping out of the kitchen, the others too busy arguing to notice my escape.

As Leo promised, I was able to stay in my room, the sound of the four older turtles leaving the lair reverberates across the concrete walls. I curl up against the corner of the wall where my bed sat once more, trying to get through my book despite the thoughts racing through my head. I shift on my bed, frustrated. I through my book across my room, curling my knees to my chest as I bury my face into them, sniffling slightly. Everything I had said at dinner, being that crass towards my brothers who only wanted to help, to know what was wrong. It all just added to the mountain of emotion building upon my shoulders.

I rip my mask off, throwing it to the floor as well, tears leaking from my eyes faster then I could wipe them away. I jump slightly when I feel a hand on my shoulder, a small pressure from weight. I wipe my eyes, looking up to see the face of my father, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.

“What is wrong, Green?” He asks softly, moving to sit on my bed. I skooch over, still siting with my knees to my chest and my arms crossed over them. I look at my dad before looking back at my covers, wiping my eyes on the rough, scaly skin of my shoulder. “Why aren’t you with your brothers? Blue told me something was wrong.”

My bottom lip quivers slightly and I look away, not meeting my fathers gaze out of embarrassment. It takes all but one glance at Splinter’s worrisome expression before I start spilling my heart out. All the feelings doubt, self-loathing, and every insecurity I felt came tumbling out of my mouth before I could stop, my father sitting next to me as he silently listened.

Splinter nods, his arms reaching out for me, hesitating for a moment before pulling me into a hug. He rubs my shell as I cry, whispering soft words of encouragement to me. 

We sit there for what feels like hours, Splinter only holding me tightly in comfort. It was clear he was not sure what to do, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for how hard he was trying. Once the tears end and devolve into nothing more than small hiccups, my father speaks. “Thank you for telling me this. I- Your brothers are worried, and if you’re okay with it, I think they should know as well. You are not a burden to them, (Y/n). I promise you that.”

I let out a wet scoff, my throat still swollen with tears. “Everyone else is special though. Their powers work, and- and I don’t even have markings! I’m not special, or as strong, or as fast. I can’t do everything they can.”

“Raph doesn’t have marking either.” Splinter says softly. “And Leo struggled with his teleportation for years. You’ll get better with time, you just have to work on it. I’m sure your brothers would be delighted to help. Raph especially, if you want to train.”

I nod, frowning slightly. Splinter stays quiet, not sure how else to help. He continues to rub my back, being a silent rock to hold me steady in my storm. My head perks up and Splinter’s ear twitches when we hear a intelligible shouting and laughter coming near the entrance of the lair, signaling the return of the other turtles. Splinter looks at me, silently asking my permission to talk with them. I nod again, too choked with tears I was determined to hold back to talk.

Splinter picks my mask back off the floor, wiping the wet trails from my face before carefully tying it over my eyes. He holds my chin, rubbing my cheek softly as he tries to soothe me. I lean into his palm, appreciating how hard my father was trying. “Let’s go talk to your brothers.”

[realareturns]

A translation of Sega Saturn Magazine's June 1996 issue. More Nightmaren lore and interviews with Sonic Team! Another long page so it's under the read more :)

Approaching NiGHTS!! Numerous Nightmares Nightmares that turn their fangs against the traitorous NiGHTS. They are the Nightmarens. Six of the most powerful bosses have finally revealed themselves!

1st Level: Wizeman’s right hand man, mighty ruler of his Nightmarens

Reala is one of the few first-level Nightmarens created along with NiGHTS as Wizeman’s right hand men.

In contrast to the free-spirited NiGHTS, Reala swears loyalty to Wizeman. He is also the one who enclosed NiGHTS in the Ideya Palace.

Photo: He has the ability to fly like NiGHTS and also uses a looping attack. He is truly the greatest villain of all.

First Level Nightmaren

Reala: Reala, who has the image of a “dark noble knight (Miyake clan)”. His stage will resemble a medieval castle, with red and black as the base colors.

From Sonic Team: Naoto Ohshima, design director, talks about Reala

By the time the character of NiGHTS was complete, many different types of NiGHTS had been created, but the one that brought together the “cool and cute” parts was what became the current NiGHTS. And then, Reala was created by collecting the “scary and frightening” parts. They are two beings of light and darkness, with equal abilities but contrasting personalities.

Blue text: A new villain is born! “It makes a lot of sense that Reala is quite popular overseas,” said Mr. Ohshima.

2nd Level: Boss-like figures that wait for NiGHTS in their own worlds.

Two of the second-level nightmares, which are like mid-bosses, had been revealed in the previous issue, and now the remaining three have finally been revealed as well!

What kind of stages they will have and what kind of attacks they will launch are still a mystery, but every boss is more unique than it looks.

Photo: Time decreases when NiGHTS takes damage.

2nd Level Nightmaren:

Gillwing: A second-level Nightmaren with the appearance of a gigantic dragon.

Photo: These aspects are consolidated in the Nightmaren’s world concept.

Puffy: Nightmaren with the image of a plump woman. As flexible as rubber.

Photo: Is there a key to defeating you? A huge body and a spacious world, like a mansion where an aristocrat lives.

Clawz: “A winged monster common in the west, with a basic structure, but smarter than a cat," is Clawz’s image. The highlight of the scene is said to be the myriad of small characters that look like mouse fireworks. [I'm not sure what "winged monster" is referencing, maybe mythical winged cats, which were sometimes portrayed as evil. It might just be a way of saying Clawz isn't really a cat, but a monster/Nightmaren that looks like one.]

Jackle: Jackle’s cape gives him the very image of a magician. Is the cloak a trick to throw all kinds of things out of thin air?

Gulpo: Gulpo is said to be “the king of all fishes.” It seems that attention is being paid to the expression of water, which is completely different from Nightopia. [Another part I'm unsure of. It might be referencing that you can't actually swim in the water in his boss room but you can in Nightopia/Splash Garden?]

From Sonic Team: A worldview liked by game enthusiasts (Sonic Team designer Shigeru Okada)

While Nightopia is a world that everyone likes and can easily get into, the world of "Nightmare" is a world where the bosses live and breathe, so it is really dark, but after clearing it, people think it’s cool.

I tried to create a concept that would make people think it was cool after clearing the game. The world of "Gillwing," which was the first world I worked on, took two or three different turns, and I had a hard time with it (laughs).

All our support to Dani Gallardo, Spanish young man sentenced to prison for his solidarity with Catalonia

Dani Gallardo was 22 years old when took part in a demonstration held in Madrid (Spain's capital city) in solidarity with Catalonia, right after the Spanish Supreme Court sentenced a group of Catalan civil society leaders to prison for their involvement in the Catalan independence movement. The demonstration also stood against the brutality of Spanish police against Catalan people and in solidarity with Catalonia's right to self-determination. It was the first time that a demonstration like this was held in Spain (outside of the occupied nations like the Catalan Countries, the Basque Country and Galicia), and the protestors were met with police violence as well. (At the same time, on the other side of the square, there was a counter-protest organised by a fascist group who opposed the solidarity protest and rallied in favour of the indivisibility of Spain. That one was not attacked by the police.)

Dani Gallardo tried to help his friend Elsa, a young woman who was being violently reduced by 5 anti-riot policemen at once. Then, the policemen beat him up and arrested him and Elsa. In total, 4 protestors were arrested that evening. That protest happened on October 2019, and since then Dani's life has changed completely.

All the detainees were insulted and threatened with violence by the police, and Elsa (being a woman) was constantly sexually harassed and insulted with misogynistic insults and very vulgar sexually explicit comments that I will not replicate here. Dani kept shouting to defend her, so they beat him with a stick with nails on the head. He says that Elsa was the one who got beaten up to a worst condition, but in the end Dani was the only one who wasn't freed.

Dani spent more than a year in pre-trial jail, while waiting to be judged by the Madrid Provincial Court. Then, he was freed on probation but, later, he was sentenced to 4 and a half years of prison for "basic public disturbance" and "attack against authority", because a policeman says Dani hit him. He appealed this decision but now (June 1st 2023) the court has confirmed the sentence, and Dani will have to go to prison.

The trial was a joke. The policemen declared things that contradict what happened, or pretended they hadn't seen anything. The doctor's report that was used to claim that Dani had attacked a policeman was signed at 9:30pm in Plaza del Sol hq, when he was arrested at 10:45pm at Tirso de Molina. This shows that the police had decided that they would accuse someone of this crime even before they arrested anyone, and then went out to look for some protestors who they could blame for it.

More than 4,200 Catalan people have been repressed by the Spanish courts since September 2017 for their involvement in the independence movement. This number includes people who have gone to court with many different outcomes, from prison sentences to more commonly fines, and also people who have been arrested and retained by the police, some of whom have denounced being tortured. Dani's case is unique because he isn't Catalan himself, he is Spanish. But this didn't save him, because the Spanish State has wanted to make an example out of him: this is what will happen to any Spaniard who dares to stand in solidarity with the peoples oppressed by Spain.

Dani has talked about why he supports Catalonia's right to self-determination. Dani is an anarchist, he doesn't believe in states, so he believes that everyone should have the right to self-determination and understands the want to get away from Spain and its fascist institutions.

He has also talked about the support he has received since he was arrested. He has received lots of support from Catalan people at all levels, from all kinds of social organizations and local assemblies to many individual people who sent him letters, and politicians who have him their support. On the contrary, he denounces he hasn't received any support from Spain (only a small support from the Madrid anti-repression movement at first, but they never followed up), and has not even heard a word from the Spanish "progressive" political parties. In fact, during the time he was out on probation, he moved to Catalonia because it was the only place where he knew he'd find help and solidarity.

We are very thankful to Dani, Elsa and everyone else who has showed their support.

Elvis' first LP cover 📀

A LITTLE BACKGROUND STORY ABOUT THE PICTURES USED AS COVERS FOR ELVIS' FIRST LP "ELVIS PRESLEY" RELEASED ON MARCH 23, 1956. All the pictures were taken in 1955.

THE FRONT COVER

Known as the "Tonsil Photo", the picture of Elvis holding his 1955 Martin D-28 guitar (with custom made tooled leather cover with his name "Elvis Presley" blazoned across the front), as used on the front cover for his first RCA LP, was taken on July 31st 1955 in Tampa, Florida, according to Tampa photographer William V. "Red" Robertson, who took the picture.

Colonel Parker hired quite a few different studios and photographers to photograph Elvis in the 50s for commercial purposes. Williams Vernon "Red" Robertson was one of the professional photographers hired by Parker, in his case to photograph a show with Elvis Presley on July 31, 1955. Robertson did field work for his Robertson & Fresh commercial photography studio, a firm active in Tampa from 1932 to 1960. Roberton's business partner, Harry Fresh, processed and printed the images. You can see some other pictures from Robertson & Fresh's studio in here (digitalcommons.usf.edu archives).

The "tonsil photo" since taken was extensively used in newspaper and print to promote future shows in the 50s, and due to its use in Elvis' first LP, specially, it's one of the most famous pictures of the King of Rock and Roll.

Friday, February 10, 1956, Elvis, Scotty, Bill and DJ made their first appearance in Charlotte with four shows at the Carolina Theatre.

Other pictures of Elvis taken that same day, July 31st 1955, in Tampa, Florida:

THE BACK COVER

On November 30th 1955, Elvis and the Colonel flew to New York, where they register at the Hotel Victoria on Fifty-first Street.

On Thursday, December 1st 1955, Elvis and the Colonel met RCA executives, including president Larry Kanaga and publicity director Anne Fulchino, at the RCA's Twenty-fourth Street studio in New York.

JUST SO YOU KNOW: I think there isn't photos of Elvis with RCA's president Larry Kanaga (at least I haven't found one yet) but below is a photograph from another day (in the future) of EP and Anne Fulchino, publicist for RCA Victor's Pop Record Division. They were waiting for the elevator at CBS Studio 50 in New York City on Saturday, March 17, 1956. Photo by ©Alfred Wertheimer.

Back to December 1st, 1955: A photo shoot was arranged and pictures of Elvis and the Colonel, Elvis and Steve Sholes and Elvis and fellow RCA recording artist Eddy Arnold, who happened to be in New York for a session, were taken in December 1st 1955.

December 1st, 1955, RCA's Twenty-fourth Street studio in New York: Elvis and Steve Sholes; Elvis and Eddy Arnold; Colonel Parker, Eddy Arnold, Elvis and Steve Sholes.

After the pictures with other people, Elvis was photographed by himself... a lot (I mean it). From all the pictures, four of them (posed action shots of Elvis) were used on the back of Elvis' first album.

THE PICTURES ON THE REAR JACKET OF ELVIS' FIRST RCA LP:

Note: I haven't found the 2nd picture in a satisfying quality yet but if I do, I'll update the post.

Some other pictures taken that same day:

[butchsophiewalten]

haii i like JUST watched the walten files… idk if this blog is still alive, but im tryin to learn the lore and if u could give me a run-down of like the timeline/lore i would rlly appreciate it ^_^ TY!!!

Well i'm definitely still active, but this is kind of a tall ask! Also pretty complicated since there's a lot of fringe stuff that I care a lot about but probably isn't actually that important for a new fan to familiarize themself with right away, and sometimes it's hard for someone like me to differentiate that from the essential stuff. That said, I've written a lot here so it's going under a cut.

Just to cover all my bases: If you've just watched the series for the first time, be sure that you're also checking out the two hidden videos. They're both present in the Official Playlist in the order you're meant to view them, but there's really nothing wrong with watching both of them last, you shouldn't be that confused. These are technically and literally bonus content, but they ARE lore-important.

Also, a mutual of mine, @gir-posting put together a neocities site a while ago specifically with the intention of helping people who are new to The Walten Files get their bearings with it, and you can find that here:

Just as a note and to add my own pedantic criticism, this page eventually guides you towards the series' companion website, Findjackwalten.com, and provides archived links of all* the iterated versions of that site's pages. It's a LOT, don't worry about catching up on everything, it is literally all just bonus content to make the wait between episodes more fun. The Twfinfo page here also calls it an ARG, which i would not consider it by any stretch of the word's definition. It's just a website.

*some pages were never archived and Twfinfo is also missing the most recent findjackwalten update from August 15th.

I recognize that literally none of this is what you asked me for! This is because I honestly have a really difficult time trying to summarize the events of The Walten Files. But this is the part where I try:

In the late 50s, two college friends named Jack Walten and Felix Kranken came up with an idea for animatronic performers that, through the years, would eventually morph into the concept for Bon's Burgers. Sometime between 1968 and 1972, Jack and Felix's company, Bunny Smiles Incorporated, would partner with a company called CyberFun Tech to assist them in their Bon's Burgers project, providing them with resources and engineering expertise to create those animatronic performers they had envisioned. After lots of work, Bon's Burgers was set to open on June 1st, 1974.

This is the part you probably know. On May 2nd, 1974, Jack asked Felix for a favor he was needing. He was doing overtime at the workshop trying to get things ready for the opening, but his two youngest kids, Edd and Molly, needed someone to drive them to a school party they wanted to attend. His wife, Rosemary, couldn't take them, because she was taking his eldest daughter Sophie to the dentist. Felix agreed to the favor. You know what happened then.

This is where it gets fuzzy. After Edd & Molly's disappearances, the Bon's Burgers opening was postponed to June 28th. It seems like Jack and Felix more or less continued to collaborate on the project until Jack's disappearance on June 11th. We have no idea what happened to him after that.

The restaurant opened. At some point presumably between Jack's disappearance and the 30th of June, the animatronic Bon went strange. The lead engineer, Susan Woodings, decided to examine him after noticing some "irregularities" during his performance during the day, and he violently attacked her, then stuffed her damaged-but-still-living body into the animatronic Banny, where she eventually starved to death.

Bon's massacre would continue with the elusive employee, Charles B., who we continue to know next to nothing about except that he ended up in Boozoo, and would finish with Rosemary Walten, who had been returning to the restaurant regularly with hopes of finding her missing husband. The screams heard during Rosemary's attack and dismemberment were reported by the neighborhood and led to the restaurant's immediate closure. All of the restaurants assets, including its animatronic performers, were relocated to a storage unit in the middle of a nearby forest.

Over the years Felix pulled a lot of cheap merchandising schemes to try and keep the Bon's Burgers and Bunny Smiles brand relevant in the consciousness of Brighton. Lots of toys and direct-to-video cartoons and even a reasonably popular television series. In the late 70s he put forward a plan to fix up all the animatronics and reopen the Bon's Burgers restaurant in a new location. The first version of the plan went really terribly, since they just went and hired some teenaged engineers and put them on crunch time to try and fix everything wrong with four half-decade old complicated machines. One of those engineers, Ashley Parks, ended up poking around in some back hallways she wasn't supposed to see and was killed by Bon for snooping. She ended up in the animatronic Billy, who was present at the old Bon's Burgers location but has been kept suspiciously separate from the other animatronics for years.

Flash forward to 1982. Sophie Walten, the only living member of the Walten family, has been living with medication-induced amnesia for years. This is until her girlfriend Jenny introduces her to the BunnyFarm arcade machine, which has just been installed in the basement of the hotel where Jenny and she live. Through the machine, the spirits of her dead friends and family begin communicating with her, and she learns a lot of the information I just relayed to you. And that's where we are, really.

#ask #god this was a lot #i left out a lot of actually pretty important information like rosemary being the artist for bon's burgers #but what ever

Pairing: Elvis(or Austin!elvis) x reader

Warnings: kids? Idk💀

Notes: this is technically the second part to this fic, but you rlly don't have to read it first. Requests are open, feedback is welcome and thank you for reading!<3

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

When Elvis gets out of the Army he can barley contain his excitement to see you.

While in Germany, when he had time off he'd go to every jewelry store he could find. Searching for a perfect engagement ring for you.

Elvis is a picky man and never settles for anything less than perfect, especially when shopping for you

Eventually he finds one, just a month before returning home. It's big and shiny just the way he likes but delicate in a way that suits you.

When elvis comes home he can barley keep himself from running into your arms and eloping on the spot.

You wait on the porch of Graceland while he greets his father

your hair freshly teased in the newest style; a contrast from the short curls of two years ago. With your best dress and the biggest smile, you can barley contain yourself.

After your kiss filled reunion you, elvis and your close friends and family have a small party to celebrate Elvis' wonderful return home.

Life seems to go back to normal- or as normal as It could be.

Elvis had wanted to settle down with you and make his music but the colonel life had other plans.

Elvis made movies faster than you could stop and smell the beautiful flowers he gave you.

And even though some of them were admittedly cheap cash grabs, your sweetheart never put in anything less than his whole heart. He loved preforming and wanted to make you and his fans proud, no matter what.

It was fun to see your boyfriend so happy and in his zone. And getting to go to all those premieres were very exiting.

Meeting all sorts of Hollywood stars and musicians, it was unlike anything you'd ever done.

You did have to spend a lot of time apart especially as the colonel pushed him to make even more movies, but it made you appreciate the time you had with him.

Whether Elvis was with you or not he'd go the nine yards, claiming that he had to catch up on all the nice things he wanted to but could buy you back in the day.

Your first big gift from Elvis was the Christmas he came home, a small brown kitten that fit in the palm of your hand. You named it Love after Elvis' mama and she's been your best friend ever since.

When elvis isn't home he writes and sends gifts whenever he feels like it; which is pretty often.

Long notes and poems accompanied with a bouquet of flowers and a new necklace are the types of gifts you would typically receive.

He also sends dresses on dresses and a new pair of shoes every couple months

"I just want you to look extra special when I finally get to see you again hun." Elvis pleaded through the phone.

When he's at home he takes you out for amazing dinners and movie nights.

Sometimes the two of you prefer to stay home, lay in bed and watch your favorite movies or listen to your favorite music and slow dance by the fireplace.

On your 7th anniversary Elvis proposed to you.

he took you to the spot he used to eat picnic dinners underneath the stars with and got down on one knee.

"I-I know I promised to do this a long while back but I can't wait any longer. [Y/n], darling? Will you be my wife?"

You nearly scream yes, and pepper his face in a billion kisses.

You have to keep yourself from crying and let him put the pretty ring on your pretty little finger.

While the colonel thought your relationship would wreck Elvis' image, it did quite the opposite. You were painted as the royal couple of Hollywood, people swooned over you just as much as they did elvis.

Young girls looked to you for fashion inspiration and you soon began to pop up in beauty and life magazines.

And soon enough there was a royal wedding: June 1st 1965.

The newspapers went crazy and it was the most magical experience of your life.

You went dress shopping and found even managed to find your dream dress.

It took extra work to make sure that you and Elvis' wedding remained private but it was definitely worth it

Especially when Frank Sinatra offered his private jet so the two of you could get to your honeymoon spot hassle free.

Just a year after the both of you welcomed a new member into the family: Carolyn Gladys Presley.

Elvis was oh so scared to be a dad but boy did he make a good one.

He was so scared that he'd break the little baby or disappoint her, but he couldn't do that even if he tried.

He never let his work get in the way of taking care of his family, even if that meant getting on the colonels bad side.

Speaking of which you were sick and tired of that man being in you and elvis' life.

He pushed elvis into unhealthy habits and stopped elvis from doing what he loved, singing the music he loved.

While Elvis was off filming another cheap movie you and Jerry searched for a suitable replacement for the ugly pig they called a colonel.

You hired Steve Binger and Bones Howe to help Elvis with his comeback to music

And after a long long sit down you finally got through to Elvis and he "took care of business" and fired Tom Parker

Elvis felt bad but knew it was necessary to better his health and career.

The 69' comeback special was a surreal time, it was like Elvis became a new person.

He was overjoyed to be singing his music again. Everyone who knew him could see it on his face, his smile lighting up every room he walked into.

The summer of 1969 also welcomed Elvis Presley Jr. Into the family. He was a spitting image of his papa, sandy blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He was almost a complete copy of Elvis but he had your nose and attitude.

Elvis loved taking you and his kids on horseback rides, teaching them to garden and never letting the spoils get to them.

always making sure they say please and thank you.

"Carrie whatya say to mama?"

"Thankyoo mama"

That isn't to say he doesn't spoil your children Because God knows he does. It's so hard for him to say no them, he just can't refuse them.

Summers are spent vacationing, swimming, and spending as much time together as possible.

Fall time is the best at Graceland, pumpkin patches, trick or treating, playing in the leaves.

Winter is Elvis' favorite, he loveeeess buying Christmas presents. Snow fights and bringing the kiddies to visit Santa. Elvis singing Christmas carols and decorating the house from head to toe.

Your family held a huge new years eve party and hoped that the upcoming 70s held as much blessings as the 60s had.

A.N. I have this poll I've been meaning to do about my soulmate series and to do so, I thought I should probably introduce those stories first 😅😋Hobi's story is the second of the Soul Palette Series and it serves as the second prequel to Call You Mine. I'm uploading each story's 1st chapter here to give you all a taste 😋

The girls burst out laughing and giggling at the boys trying to jump around the classroom while playing some sort of catch game with someone’s pencil case. The guy chasing it was laughing in embarrassment and even some girls entered the game.

“Are you afraid?”

“Wait until Eusun gets here.”

“We’re so going to tell her.”

“Tell her what?” Haesun asked in a whisper to her best friend, Sunyi, who was sitting at the desk behind her. 

She leaned in to whisper back, “He wrote a confession on a piece of paper and was going to give it to her.”

Haesun smiled, “Eusun would say no…”

“He doesn’t care. She’s just too pretty,” she shrugged and Haesun kept her soft eyes as she eyed the game. 

She could understand that, although it defeated the purpose. “If they’re not soulmates, then what is the use?” She asked rhetorically, preparing her notebooks for class.

Sunyi leaned on Haesun’s table, “You know the likelihood of actually finding a soulmate?”

“We’re too young to worry about it,” she scoffed.

“But not too young to date and have fun.”

Haesun nodded, “Sure, I’m just saying that it feels like a waste of time.”

Sunyi pursed her lips, “Hmm… dating someone who is not your soulmate… can still teach you valuable skills.”

“Shouldn’t all your firsts be with your soulmate?”

The girls turned to see Eusun sitting beside Haesun while adjusting her uniform ribbon. Haesun looked around; the boy had managed to get his pencil case back and everyone was talking quietly in a corner, so of course Eusun didn’t suspect a thing.

Sunyi sighed, “Again, the odds. Are you saying you’re saving your firsts for him?”

“Of course,” Eusun answered softly, brushing her long-styled hair behind her back.

“Your first date? First holding hands? First kiss?”

Eusun nodded to all questions and then smiled at Haesun for support, who just smiled back.

Sunyi groaned, “Imagine that! Seriously, what if you have to wait until you're twenty? Thirty? Forty? What if it never happens?!”

“Then it wasn’t meant to be,” Eusun answered, almost with a dreamlike sigh.

Their homeroom teacher entered the room while saying good morning and they all sat properly, ready to start their lesson. Eusun suddenly gasped and sat up very straight and Haesun looked at her in surprise.

“Is everything okay?” She whispered to the side, yet the teacher spoke immediately.

“Listen everyone. We have a transfer student, be sure to be welcoming. Come on in,” she said louder.

Their classroom door slid open and a tall boy entered with their school’s uniform, white earphones around his neck as if he had just put them down, and widened eyes. Haesun thought he looked pretty normal, so she couldn’t understand Eusun’s reaction: she was staring at him like a deer caught in headlights. 

“Well, present yourself to class.”

The boy glanced at the teacher before his eyes fell right on Eusun again. “Hello. I’m Ji Sung-hyun. I hope we all get along.”

“You can sit down.”

The teacher was ready to move on to other things, but the boy stopped right in front of Haesun and Eusun, making the latter look up at him as if she was staring at an angel. Haesun was just frowning, what the hell was he doing?

“Hi,” he said, and from that close Haesun could see he was blushing and that his hands were twitching. 

“Hi.”

Haesun raised her eyebrows, Eusun was blushing too! What were those two morons doing?!

“Ji Sung-hyun-ssi—”

Haesun didn’t hear what the teacher said and probably nobody else did either. Sung-hyun extended his hand to Eusun and they both gasped when their hands touched. The whole class entered an uproar then, with gasps and yells, and the teacher tried to keep the order as Eusun got up to stare into his eyes as if nothing else existed.

“Holy shit…” Sunyi gasped from behind Haesun, who turned to her. “They’re soulmates!”

December 17th 2018

Haesun finished typing on the computer right on time as the teacher announced the end of the class and everyone in the auditorium got up.

“Ahh! I thought it would never end!”

She smiled at the boredom overflowing from Sunyi’s voice, who was stretching without a care in the world now that the professor had left.

“I thought it was interesting…”

Sunyi scoffed and leaped to check what she was writing, “Yeah, right. Who are you talking to?”

Haesun grinned and closed her laptop, “No one much.” Sunyi rolled her eyes and turned to get her things in her bag, Haesun did the same. “But there’s a soulmating party next Friday at the Club M2 in Hongdae.”

Sunyi scoffed as they made their way out of the auditorium. “I thought you were dating… oh what’s his name…”

Haesun shrugged and brushed her long black hair that was starting to curl with the humidity of December. “We’re talking and we had lunch once. Besides, he’s not my soulmate so we’re going.”

Sunyi sighed as they exited the faculty, “What’s the use?” Haesun froze and raised an eyebrow. “It’s not like it’s going to happen…”

“It might,” Haesun argued easily with a smile. “If Eusun found hers—”

“So what? She was just lucky!” Sunyi frowned, looking down. “From our class back in high school, how many found theirs by now? Three? Four?”

“So?”

“And now in college, how many in our class have found them? Ten? Fifteen?”

Haesun sighed and turned around, unwilling to miss the bus over Sunyi’s doubts. “Numbers don’t matter.”

“Of course they do—”

“Having fun is what matters. Finding companionship, admiration, support, and love. That’s what matters. That’s what Eusun has, and that you can find with anyone, he doesn’t have to be your soulmate.”

Sunyi looked down as she followed Haesun to the bus stop. “Eusun…”

Haesun turned back once they reached the post with the right number and smiled, “Eusun was lucky, yes, but we have to live too, right? And we won’t find them by staying at home watching soap operas or dramas.”

Sunyi’s eyes were tearing up and Haesun moved closer to rub her arms. “What if we never find them?”

“Then we don’t! But we might find someone else that we like spending time with. My parents aren’t bonded and neither are yours.” 

Sunyi heaved a deep breath, “I just hate it… I hate that people are searching for something that seems impossible to find and that by doing so, they don’t give a real opportunity to other relationships.” Their bus stopped and they got in as Haesun nodded her agreement. “It’s like, my parents met in high school, they were friends for many years and then decided that they wanted to be together. Nowadays it’s like ‘Oh, but I might meet them just around the corner, so I’m not going to commit’. If they were just around the corner, you would have met them already!”

She sat down with a plop and Haesun laced an arm under hers and dropped her head on her best friend’s shoulder. “That’s true… it’s so hard.” She sighed deeply, “But then, what are we supposed to do? If we can’t find our soulmates and we can’t find another person to love, then what? We stay single and die alone?”

Sunyi grabbed her hand to pull their arms closer together, “You’ll never die alone, Haesun. No matter what, we’ll be friends forever.”

Haesun grinned happily, hugging Sunyi’s arm tight, “We’ll be grannies together.”

“Obviously.”

Haesun smiled and they chatted about all sorts of things, from how dumb it was to have classes so close to Christmas, to how cold it was, to wishing there was a first snow soon though they had no one to kiss at the moment, and then to how Haesun would have to work during the break.

“No! Really?”

“Yap, Yeeun is sick, so I’ll cover her shifts for this week and the week of Christmas.”

“That’s insane!” Sunyi gasped as they stepped out of the bus.

“Yeah, but it will pay well.”

Sunyi pursed her lips, “You know, I’m sure your parents, even your aunt would help out if they knew you—”

“I know, but I don't want them to. I’m going home, I need to take tonight to sleep well before the next two weeks of work.”

She waved at Sunyi and turned in the opposite direction. As she walked down the residential street on the outskirts of Seoul, she wondered about Sunyi’s words. 

She always thought that at twenty-one years old she would have her life figured out: her soulmate, a pet, a degree, and her own place. She was twenty and none of those things were true.

After Eusun found her soulmate all those years back in high school, Haesun had actually fallen into the trap of believing the exact same would happen to her and Sunyi. Because why not? They were the trio of best friends, it made perfect sense. 

But life didn’t work that way. Eusun grew up faster than them — at seventeen she was going through things most people they knew never fully understood or experienced. She was maturing faster, seeing things as an adult, and she was with her soulmate all the time. Soon, their trio became a duo and Haesun was forced to admit something she only ever thought happened in dramas was real: society did separate between mated and unmated people.

Not out of malice, but naturally because one side envied or didn’t understand the other. No one shunned anyone, obviously, but there was a rift between them. After all, how could Haesun comprehend the depths of Eusun’s feelings if she had never felt something quite like it?

She kicked a pebble on the road at the memory of Eusun’s words. Pathetic, ridiculous. She had cried so much after that, at losing her best friend, when in reality it was all bullshit. She didn’t have to be bonded to be in love, to experience happiness, passion, companionship, or empathy. And it did look a lot like bonded people lost the ability to empathize with those who weren't.

But Eusun’s attitudes were not enough to give soulmating a bad name. Haesun had read a lot on the subject with her aunt, who was utterly obsessed with the topic, and realized that indeed it was a state of grace. Eusun was just a bad apple she had once called her best friend. Big deal.

No, it was still a nice idea, but at twenty years old she was done waiting. She had started dating the year before and decided to have fun. Odds were she would be unmated anyway, so there was no point in not getting to know a few men and seeing if anyone clicked. 

The pet wasn’t a reality yet because Auntie was taking medication that made her sick to almost everything, so she was not risking her health. She had her whole life to have a pet, no big deal.

She would have a degree in nine months, she just wasn’t excited about it. She wasn’t eager to tell her parents, who busted their asses off working in a shoe factory so she could study, that Literature wasn’t the most employable degree and that after almost three years she was finding that she didn’t enjoy it. Not only that, but the perspective of going into journalism or something else also didn’t excite her. She felt incredibly lost. 

And she would never have her own place. She typed the password of the apartment building on the keyboard by the front door with a small smile. She was happy to have the chance to live with Auntie so she got to be in Seoul and study there, but she wasn’t delusional: having an apartment in Seoul was a luxury someone like her would never afford. Especially now that every penny she earned went to paying the tuition of a course she didn’t like so her parents didn’t have to do it and make her guilty out of her mind.

“Sunnie, you home?”

“Yeah!”

She took off her shoes and jacket and quickly went to the kitchen to help her aunt.

“Woah, it smells so good!” She rubbed Auntie’s arms in support and not even the woolen coat and layers of clothes could hide her thinness. “Let me help you.”

Her aunt was joyous as ever to have her niece spend the evening with her, but her smile disappeared fast when Haesun told her about her shifts.

She frowned as they sat down on the low table to eat. “You don’t have to kill yourself working.”

Haesun smiled, “I know. And I’m not, I’ll be on vacation anyway.”

She served them both as the eldest shook her head. “We should visit your parents for Christmas…”

“And we will, the restaurant closes on Christmas.”

She sighed, “You know that is not what I mean.” Haesun just smiled because that was the way to get away with it. Auntie sighed again, “You should tell them.”

“What?”

“That you want to study something else.”

“And tell them their hard-earned five million won went to the trash? No.”

“They want you to be happy, they don’t care about that. They only paid for one year, anyway—”

“They paid for everything up to that point too and I’m not sure I’ll ever repay them.”

“Hey,” Auntie stopped, giving Haesun a firm look. “Are children supposed to repay their parents? Did you ask to be born? Do you think they do it out of obligation? Or out of love? Because you’re the sun in their eyes? Stop saying nonsense.”

“I’m sorry, Auntie.”

“If only, missie,” she puffed and reached for the water. “Unfortunately, you’re as stubborn as my brother.”

“And you,” she grinned again and her aunt stifled a laugh.

They chatted throughout dinner and cleaned the kitchen together.

“How’s the boy… What's his name…”

Haesun puffed her hair out of her face because her hands were wet with the soap as she did the dishes. “Seriously, we’re just talking, it’s not a big deal.”

Her aunt shrugged as she dried the dishes, “Well, alright. If he’s your friend, I see no reason for not asking about him.”

Haesun shook her head with a smirk, “We’re not really friends.”

Auntie sighed and grabbed the next dish, “You know how I feel about that.”

“And I’ve told you it's a different generation…”

“I understand that, but you’re not settling down with a partner like my brother did. You’re just talking around, dancing around, doing who knows what—”

“Auntie!” Haesun gasped in shock.

“I know, I know! I’m not shaming! I’m saying you should, I don’t know, do something outside of your comfort zone!” Haesun took a deep breath. “Maybe then you’d activate your thread of fate and finally cross his path.”

“Or maybe that’s dumb and I’ll meet him on the bus tomorrow, the same one I always take to school and back home,” she argued with a shrug. Her aunt was pursing her lips in annoyance, yet Haesun just sighed and decided to keep going with the dishes. “You know I dislike the thought that I need to wait or activate my fate. As if my life only starts or becomes valuable if I meet him. I want to live on my own too. What if I never find him? Will my life be worthless then?”

“Of course not! Sunnie!”

“I know, of course not!” She nodded vehemently as she gave her aunt the last plate. “Look at your life, auntie, as an established author who traveled the world and met so many people. Maybe that’s the life I want one day, hm? A life lived for me, not waiting for someone else.”

Auntie dried the plate and placed it on a pile before putting her hands on her niece’s shoulders. 

“My life was filled with adventure, I surely had a lot of fun. I don’t regret much, but I do regret not ever feeling that deep love and connection. The soul that would have matched mine. I’m not saying I would have sacrificed everything I have experienced, but it would have certainly been even more fun and meaningful with him. Not to mention…” her hands went to adjust her headscarf. “Not even for myself, but… chances are he is or is going to be sick too. I wish… that wouldn’t happen, even if I never meet him.” Haesun reached to hug her immediately and she smiled. “I wish no one would feel this pain. Ever.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Auntie smiled and petted Haesun’s hair. Whenever she did that, Haesun always had the impression that Auntie was consoling her, not being consoled herself. Maybe it was because she knew Haesun was so scared of losing someone so important to her. 

“Nothing to be sorry for, life happens. This included.” She hugged her for a silent moment before pulling away. “Now enough babbling, you need to rest if you’re meant to work so many days in a row.”

Tuesdays are not the worst. Tuesdays are fine.

Haesun kept repeating that to herself as a smile was plastered on her face trying to deal with semi-drunk overbearing people. And she wasn’t wrong; usually, Tuesdays were not the worst dinner shifts at all. But maybe because it was the week before Christmas, everyone was out. Every freaking one. 

From students to families to workers, to whoever, it seemed that everyone had decided tonight was the night to go out for dinner. And as she held onto her tray and sought a moment to breathe before taking on the last group, she wondered how she would deal with that chaos for the rest of the week.

Yet as soon as she lifted her head, she felt dizzy. She frowned and pressed her temples, What the hell?

“Haesun, all good?” Screamed the chef and owner from the kitchen, seeing her through the pass.

“Yeah!” She yelled back, surprised he had noticed. She must have stayed like that for a while. “Yeah, I’m… going.”

Of course, she had to move, her boss was watching, but that wasn’t why her feet were guiding her to the last room of the restaurant, the one where the group had been settled in by the host. She was frowning because she felt really lightheaded, but her body was moving on its own because she had somewhere to be. Somewhere that wasn’t the bathroom, in case she needed to barf, or the kitchen to get something with sugar, but somehow… something better.

“Haesun, are you okay?” 

She glanced up right before she slid the door to the room. Her hand twitched. 

The host continued, “Do you want me to handle this? It’s late and you’ve had a long day, it’s a big group—”

“No! No, no, of course not. I got this. Just… this one.”

She tried smiling, but she had no idea if it worked because her fingers were already hooked on the handle of the door to slide it open. Her eyes fell immediately on a random guy with a green beanie and a gray sweater and he got up, so pale she would think he had seen a ghost. Maybe she was pale too?

But… Why was his nose so perfect? His cheeks were high but framed a beautifully round and perked-up nose. And his lips were so full, how?

Wait… Was she staring?

“Haesun?”

She turned to the host whispering her name, but she couldn’t think. All around her, the group of people seemed worried not about her but about the man with the green hoodie standing up.

“Are you okay?”

“Is something wrong?”

His eyes were so wide she feared that maybe she was being an eyesore or something. What the hell was she doing? Why couldn’t she think? Why would she think that? It was because she couldn’t think.

She hugged the tray and bowed to the group, slowly backing away out of sight.

“I think I need a moment,” she confessed to the host, swallowing dryly. 

“Of course you do, take a break, I’ll take their order.”

He entered the room to meet the guests so that should have been her cue, but her feet weren’t moving. Her heart was speeding so fast she could have collapsed, but somehow it was building up to something she did not know what.

A second later someone passed the doorway and stopped right in front of her, as if searching for something. There was no one to the right, but there she was on his left. She thought she should get out of the way but as soon as she saw his eyes, she froze again. No way she could move now.

He turned to her, still pale, still wide-eyed, but this time his chin was dropped a little. He heard the commotion from the room and raised his hands before taking two steps forward. And wouldn’t you know, suddenly her feet moved on their own because her brain surely wasn’t capable of that level of awareness. Her body moved in his tempo as if by just raising his hands she knew exactly what he wanted. 

She swallowed dryly again, nearly deafened by the beating of her heart pumping blood too fast through her brain, so fast it probably wasn’t reaching it at all. That’s it. She had no blood, that’s why she couldn’t think straight.

Wait, what?

He suddenly grinned and clasped his hands as if to contain his excitement, “Ahhh, I can’t really believe this is happening. Right? It’s happening, right? It has to be.”

She nodded. Whatever it was, it was surely happening.

“I’ve never felt like this, so it has to be… right? Ahhh, seriously, woah,” he rubbed his face, then adjusted his green beanie, smoothed his gray sweater, then extended his right hand to her politely, “Nice to meet you.”

She blinked, she was staring at his hands. Totally, from the start, from the moment he touched his face. He was tall, clearly thin despite all those layers of clothes, and his hands looked delicate. He moved delicately, in fact. She wasn’t delicate, she didn’t move like that. Weren’t they supposed to be the same?

“Miss?”

Her eyes moved from his chest to his eyes and blinked. His lips twitched as if he debated on whether to say something else and she huffed in a breath.

“Right! Me, right? Yes!” Her cheeks blushed instantly, but at least she was breathing. At least she had blood again. “I’m Haesun. Shin Haesun.”

She took his hand and bowed deeply, and her whole body tensed like a wire being overcharged. She gasped quietly and looked up with descended eyebrows while he made sure to use both hands to hold hers, making that sensation even more intense.

His joyful smile vanished slowly as his eyes lingered on her and those feelings treaded to their chests. Her heart was beating so happily, now fully with the only reason that mattered, that her whole body warmed and relaxed in successive waves. It wasn’t really a pleasure as one would receive in a massage for example, but it was definitely pleasurable. She would have melted into his arms if there wasn’t a burst of energy that almost had her hopping around, and preferably into his arms too.

“Hobi, we’re waiting for your order!”

Hobi? She furrowed her brow, where had she heard that name before?

“I’ll be there in a minute!” He answered dismissively before turning to her again. She was already too hot and the more he looked at her, the more she was convinced her legs would give in. “We… I have to go back, it’s our Christmas dinner.” 

She blinked with a nod, of course. She, uh… she could… do something else other than hold his hand and stare at him. Surely.

“But you… I need to know all about you.” His thumb brushed her skin absentmindedly and she blinked yet again. Then why not right now? She wanted it right now, she didn’t want to be separated from him now. He reached for his phone in his pocket, “Please, give me your number. Let’s meet again tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes. Please.”

“When?”

“I don’t know, I…” She had to split their hands to take the phone, which was not pleasant at all. She felt like a battery that just got disconnected from the grid. “First thing in the morning?”

“I have classes.”

“Oh, okay, ahm…” She was typing as he hummed. “Tell me when you could make it.”

“Between class and work, so around four to like five thirty… six if I ask for it.”

She extended his phone back respectfully with both hands and he wrapped his around them, not that concerned about the phone. They stayed just like that.

“Hobi!”

“Sir,” a polite male voice called from the entryway and he let go of her immediately. “Should I order ahead without you?”

“Yeah, I will need a minute. Please,” he asked with a bow and the host bowed back. He gave a glance to Haesun with an implicit question and she smiled at him in reassurance. Hobi turned back to her once the host left and took his phone gently from between her fingers. “I’ll text you the address so meet me tomorrow, okay?” She nodded. “It’s a promise.” His tone almost spoke of relief and she smiled. “Can I… can I take your photo? I— All my contacts have their photos, so…”

“Sure!”

She tried rearranging her messy black hair falling off the ponytail, then her black turtleneck that was surely out of place. Her makeup was very bland, but there was nothing to do there. She probably did not look good but that didn’t even cross her mind — her soulmate was aiming his phone camera to take her picture. Her lips curved.

KE's friend Bennet Jordan commented on his post that Dashy isn't Sam's best friend so... They've seen each other while in NY

Sigh.. I actually was contemplating, do I post this or not... 🙄

I mean, I really don't want to turn my blog into some kind of 'samsplaining' in another way, decoding the 'bizarro' (thank you Anon for that word) of a blogger that turns each little breadcrumb into some kind of evidence explaining it her way....

First for the ones that don't go to this blog and have no idea what this is about. Bennet Jordan posted on IG a slide of pics with a dog, most likely Dashy, KE's dog. They were in NYC as well, as KE is working on a project with his fiancée Emily Chen. KE left a comment on his post, he answered and later on his answer was deleted

Anyway, I don't think they're 'back together', they never were actually together. At the most we have a suspicion KE was on that roadtrip last summer and perhaps in LV with S.

If that comment is about the Sam we know, and that's already a big if, but let's assume it was, then it's a bit odd to say Dashy isn't Sam's best friend and the 💀 ... now that doesn't look to me KE and S are in a loving relationship, now does it?

I also do not think they met up in NYC, even though they were there at the same time. We know S had quite a busy schedule, and we also know he went out for diner with friend Paul D (the chef). So the little spare time he had... well you can figure. And on top of that KE was working with Emily on a project.

But I took a little deeper look under the surface. I mean, the easiest thing to say is 'oh, look, they must have met... together...' 🙄

If you look a bit farther, and scroll his and his fiancées IG, you find out that curiously enough the couple did a roadtrip together last summer, they even announced their engagement during that trip. Oh... wait, who was doing a road trip last summer again....????

right.... and no the dog didn't like him much, he's hiding in plain sight behind the table, head down, tail down... 🙈 But the whole gear including hat and T-shirt from Jackson Hole Wyoming...

So let's check out timeline from last summer. His last pic in the UK was posted on July 23 with the bucket hat. The next pic shows him at Zion NP posted on August 1st. The cowboy pics were posted on August 11th, clearly latergram as he was already back in LA after 48 hours in LV, of which the JL concert on August 6. Anyway, you can check the timeline I referred to above.

Now what about Emily & Bennett. Now Emily posts this on the 20th on June (2022). The 'our' in her post is her and Bennett

Interesting roadtrip, especially some of the places... 🤔

KE leaves a comment on that post

Note, the date stamp is CEST = 9 hours ahead of PT. So her comment is on the same day as Emily's post.

Bennett also comments on that post, answering a friend who gave him a tip

Again interesting, last minute including Zion to Jackson Hole... 🤔 🤔

She and Bennett then post a video about custom hats they had made, and they announce their engagement in the next posts. KE leaves a comment on Emily's post about it. (Aug 2nd). Though the engagement actually took place a bit earlier, as Bennett already posts with the hat earlier on (July 16) with the hat. And that's also when they had the pics made for their engagement post. (the photographer leaving a telling comment).

Nevertheless Bennett posts a video of the start of their road trip and the truck they hired on 26 July

Anyway, later on he posts some more photo dumps of the trip. And, it's not waterproof evidence and all, but it's just quite the coincidence these people were on sort of the same road trip. Don't think they went the whole trip together (I do hope not for them, lol) but chances they met at some point or perhaps even travelled part of it together... well, it's an option. And to me, that could be where this comment about Dashy not being the best friend of Sam could come from... provided it was 'that' Sam he was talking about.

Anyway, as always. Not here to prove anything, and I value you readers as wise as you are. So all up to you to make up your mind about it, or just say... well, who cares, water under the bridge already for a long time 😉

Pile 1

"Only" by Lee Hi started playing as soon as I shuffled for y'all :') "Be my only one, I don't have to hide my feelings anymore, the words I sincerely wanted to say, I say, 'I love you,' ooh-ooh, on tiring nights and busy days, please make room in your heart for me to rest (Oh, oh-oh), I'll do better when you share your love with me." Damn, romantic feelings for sure. Let's look at who the person is. A person who might have some authority, someone who's fairly judgemental and makes fair decisions and doesn't partake in favoritism. Might be a leader of some sort. "Dandelions" by Ruth B is playing. I feel like you don't really think about dating this person or anything. They might be a very daddy (might be a non creepy sugar daddy too.) A fatherly, teacher like person for sure. A mentor of some sort. They're mentally very strong. They might be the type to lead by example rather than force. A very good leader for real. I'm getting two specific scenarios here, so for scenario number one, they might have been in a bad emotional state or everyone might have been blaming them for stuff/might have turned their backs against them but you made them feel like you believed in them and stuck for them and for scenario number two you might have/might be a bit underestimated and your talent/effort isn't recognized enough but they can see how great you are at whatever you're doing/how much effort you're putting in (or you might have been the one getting blamed for something) which makes them appreciate you because you seem to be trying hard despite any useless criticism. Daydreaming about you gives them hope which assists them through their hard times. It's like you're their star, bright and pretty. You might motivate them to pursue their ambitions and dream more, you might be the type to be like "anything can happen, he hopeful." Kind of person which helps them be more driven too. You make them feel like a pure kind of love, major first love energy here. I feel like you bring a sense of emotional security and hope to them because of your abundant hope, you might be the type to hype your loved ones. "Paper hearts" by Tori Kelly is playing right now, damn feelings do be running deep. You might encourage them to take time to themselves when needed. I'm hearing someone saying "you can use this time to work on yourself and take better care of your mental health." You're probably someone who comes off self sufficient in some sense. "Just because the sun is covered by the clouds doesn't mean that it isn't there." You might have made them see a light within themselves and made them realize that they don't always need to stand out/ you might have made them realize that just because they can't feel/see results or healing doesn't mean that they aren't there. I'm getting cardinal energy (cancer, libra, aries, capricorn) from you, you might be the type to never give up and might be a bit impulsive too. You're a very charismatic person according to them. They're definitely a very fair person. The reason they are thinking about you is because you're very attractive and they like you ofcourse. They might be a very self critical person, it might be you as well though. They might be the type to not go beyond their comfort zone so you're helping them open up to things and ideas. I'm not sure but I'm sensing them being left heartbroken in the end. You might be someone who's dealt with heartbreak before which gives you a certain kind of depth, which just makes you more attractive.

Pile 2

"Eight letters" by Why don't we played when I shuffled for you. Probably a person from the past who broke your heart or lead you on just to ghost you. This person is someone with a lot of internal as well as external control. A very determined person. This person is definitely someone people tend to double take, they seem to be very charming in an unreachable manner too but they seem to be seen as someone humble even though they're a bit unreachable. This is someone who feels like things with you aren't moving forward with you, they seem to have learnt some lessons through you though you seem to be the one left behind. They're probably someone who made you feel really special and loved, they're the type to treat the people they like differently. They're probably going through a transformation and have already changed a lot. Doesn't seem to be a very recent situation actually, they might have hurt you years ago. They are putting aside their ego to fix what they've sabotaged with you. It seems like before they didn't even try to be honest with their emotions for you. They might have blind faith that you'll text them first asking to take you back after years of them doing you wrong even though they're at fault. They might be in really in their head about you. They might be really holding back from texting you first in case you've moved on and they'll just be ruining your life again. They feel like they don't deserve such a pure form of love. I can feel the mixed emotions that they feel regarding you. They're probably just trying to keep their emotions to themselves but they do really miss you. 12th house or 8th house synastry might be very significant here. You might have very "the one that got away" kind of feelings towards each other, especially you since this probably ended very abruptly and without a proper closure. You might have Neptune in each others' houses (I'm getting specifically 4th house.) They might have started dating someone else as soon as they broke up with you, might have been an ex which made you be like "did they just date me to get over their ex?" A lot of miscommunication, things left unsaid and illusions here. Right now, I feel like you've glown up a lot physically, emotionally and mentally. You might be seen as someone very attractive not just romantically but even as a person which makes them regret things harder than they already do. I'm getting you being very unstable and immature but pure and naive back then, now you seem to be more stable and mature but also less naive and more practical but they think that you still haven't lost how pure your intentions towards others are which has them shook and really intrigued. They see you as 'the high priestess' you're mysterious, extremely loving, balanced and intuitive. They can sense how much you love yourself now and how hard you've worked on yourself. They feel like they let outside forces affect and end your relationship which leaves them feeling really regretful. You seem to have gotten stronger and see that you have changed a lot, you don't let others' opinions hurt you or affect your relationship with yourself or change your decisions anymore. You were the only person who actually loved them even though they hurt you a lot which keeps them crying at night, you're not together and it's because of them. "If the world was ending" energy :'). It seems to be a long period and they aren't exactly sure if it's okay to enter your life now, not only because of their ego or pride but also because of how they might end up negatively affecting your life because you seem to have finally healed. Why do I feel like you literally begged this person to stay b with you at some point? 💀 You might have an unhealthy attachment with them. "Before you go" by Lewis Capaldi might have messages for you from them.

Pile 3

They might be a virgo, they seem to have really contemplated stuff with you. They're a perfectionist for real. A pretty hard worker. Someone with strong willpower. You might have cancer placements. You taught them about how to control ego. I'm getting an ex friend for some of you. They might actually be jealous of you 💀. You might have left your ex friends and chose loneliness over toxicity because you felt left out and even bullied, they might have accused you of stuff that you never did but after letting go of them, you look better, you look happier, you seem to have more money and overall better in some way. You might've attracted something that they wanted, might be someone too actually. If this friend situation doesn't relate with you, it's someone you expressed your affection for (probably still are), they're starting to like you. They might smile while thinking about how much you care about them, they feel really loved and appreciated by you. A very soft person, they seem to be trying to avoid falling in love with anyone at all though. "Dream-like person, can't you see how much you mean to me?" That's exactly how they feel towards you. Back to the ex friend scenario, they are reminiscing over you guys' friendship, they're feeling very nostalgic. If it is the person you're expressing affection to, they are probably just feeling really soft and loved by you. They're feeling very child-like. You are definitely coming off as 'the empress' to both your ex friend/affection person, very in-tune with everything. There is a great desire and need for action (by affection person) but they are a bit guarded which causes them to not take any action or give you mixed signals. I feel like you should give them some time though, they'll probably melt and choose to be open to love. The affection person can see your efforts and hard work in whatever you try to do and also in trying to make them feel loved. The ex friend person feels really burdened by the memories and also how unaffected you seem by whatever happened between the both of you. "Still into you" - Paramore might have messages (affection person.) I feel like the affection person might be trying to deny their feelings for whatever reason and distract themselves from you. They might be trying to desperately pick out flaws in you because they can feel themselves losing control over their emotions because of you. I feel like you might be treating them really well and they're just there like "ahahaha such a great prank." 💀 You might literally be giving away "I'll love you unconditionally" energy to this person.

Pile 4

This person thinking about you seems to be more of a solo person. They might be the type to either do everything or not do anything at all when involved in a group project. They might be contemplating and healing right now. I felt the urge to listen to 'enchanted' by Taylor Swift. I feel like this person doesn't know where they stand with you causing them to plan their future moves towards you based on assumptions. They're someone decisive and wise. They might have friends or family that do not show enough support or even any feelings at all 💀. They might be a Capricorn moon. I feel like they're the kind of person who's willing to give away their happiness just to be useful to their loved ones. You both are probably not communicating right now. "Are we flirting or fighting right now? Cause I'm getting mixed signals." That's how they felt in the past before you guys had a separation. They are really doubting everything like what if you have already moved on and they are just interfering in your life? This person surely does know how to channel their negative emotions into work. You both seemed to not know what to say when someone asks you why you fell apart because both of you don't understand what happened either. "I want it, I got it." I feel like you are in this energy right now or atleast come off that way. This person probably really wants to receive and provide you with a closure. They intuitively know that you are kind of done with them. This person sees you as their muse, if they're a musician/even just listen to music a lot, they fantasize about writing songs about you in the future and stuff. Right now I feel like their emotions are making their thoughts really unclear. I feel like it's karma, this person might have hurt you a lot and you were in the energy of 'so many emotions, I've gone numb now, I can't even comprehend what it is that I feel,' they're just feeling the same way too right now. I feel like it might've been quite a lot of time, they took a lot of time to process their emotions while you couldn't even process them properly but you managed to heal and grow through them. They're slowly losing their senses because they miss you. They're uselessly worried about you when things from your side definitely seem to be over even though you might miss them. They're reminiscing a lot. This person might show symptoms of imposter syndrome but you made them feel like they were actually being themselves with you which makes things harder for them because they aren't being to able to move on. I feel like you guys might have a connection in which once you start moving on they show up in your dream and vice versa or you see something that reminds you of them and vice versa. They might be spending too much time with themselves. They don't even feel worthy enough of themselves right now, they don't take care of themselves very well because they regret past decisions, I'm not going to tap into what happened but well... It seems heavy. You might've grown a lot and changed to a whole different level, you might come off really confident and seem to be doing really well which makes them happy but sad at the same time. This person might wear beanies, leather jackets, jewellery or oversized white t-shirts.

[queerxqueen]

Byler being queerbait - a deliberate dangling of the possibility of a queer relationship to string the audience along with no intention on delivering - doesn't make sense when you consider that most of this potential baiting would be happening in real time (june) between vol1 and vol2 (see: the massive increase in byler shippers). A gap that was never meant to exist bc season 4 was meant to be released as one thing. So idt the duffers deliberately wrote this stuff in with no intention of payoff bc they weren't planning this gap of ambiguity ahead of time and I think that's skewing with our perceptions. I think vol2 will build up byler even more and it will make more sense and feel less "baity" when watched all together as one season

I have a few Q's about queerbaiting in my inbox right now so hopefully this addresses all of them.

HmmMmMM. So.

Is Byler Queerbaiting?

The thing is, it's so impossible to determine whether it's queerbaiting until we actually see the ending. I'm honestly hoping it's really just a slow burn romance that we'll see blossom in Volume 2 but until we see what happens, there's no saying whether it's queerbaiting or not!

We don't know how much Byler will be built up in volume 2. We know that they're going to somehow address Will's feelings, so we are getting a canonically queer character which is great... But we don't know what Mike will do, which is where the real potential for queerbaiting lies, when they've hyped up Byler on social media and queercoded Mike through so many little details.

Even if it's not intentional on the Duffers behalf, even if they intended the season to be released all at once, it can definitely be intentional on Netflix's behalf.

Yes, this season is "unprecedented" in length and the Duffers said something about wanting to get it to us sooner, but there's no way this wasn't in huge part a marketing decision. They wanted to stretch out the release with rising competition in streaming. Whether this marketing decision is queerbaiting depends entirely on what happens next. If Mike rejects Will and ends up with Eleven and that's it? Then fuck yeah. They drew out the wait to appeal to queer people who might have hope based on the clear clues they've laid out. At this point, there have been too many posts about Byler from the cast and Netflix-affiliated accounts, and too much evidence from every season, and I would definitely feel queerbaited.

But if Byler is canon? I respect the hell out of the choice, and it makes total sense from a marketing perspective. They're hooking the homophobic viewers who might have boycotted the season if a queer ending were spoiled for them, getting people to watch the bulk of it, getting people hooked, before making the queer subtext actual text. I've sometimes wondered if the reason the Cali gang isn't in episode 7 is because they made a conscious decision to push the overtly gay shit to the last two episodes.

This is pure speculation, admittedly. But they've straight-baited before and I'd love to see them do it again, and it would make sense to do it this way from a marketing POV if they were doing Byler.

we're in such a schroedinger's cat situation. our ship is either dead or alive. we're either being brutally queerbaited or watching the most epic slow-burn-friends-to-lovers plot twist unfold in real time.

july 1st is so gd far away

thank you for the asks also uwu

I don't know if you will see this or even answer it, but a part of me wonders if he made that FB post as a reaction to the articles saying they are getting married. He seems like he's an older man, and he could have been scrolling Google, and it popped up. Maybe thought, “Wow good for her!” Not understanding that those are all trash websites posting it and not reliable. Then was told to take it down? Maybe. Or the same thing but then took it down cause of the hate, maybe realized he was wrong?

Regardless there is no way AB would have let this man steal her thunder of saying “Yup it’s true, we are getting married!”

It is so weird that it’s her BFF’s dad.. like wtf?

Yeah, but those articles didn't come out in the recent past. The only one I can recall that was relatively big is the Cosmopolitan article, which was posted on June 1st, so I doubt that popped up for him yesterday in Google, or that he wouldn't know the whole situation and the drama around it, or that he didn't read the article. Even the title says "reportedly," so it was clear they didn't confirm it.

If they are having a good relationship with Alba or with Justin, which I would assume they do, I doubt his father wouldn't have known about them getting married or that Alba wouldn't have told him that it's a secret and they don't plan on announcing it very soon. His father is, like, 50 years old. He isn't that old, and he's been using social media for a long time now. He knows the deal; he isn't stupid or anything like that.

He took it down because of the backlash and because they got what they wanted. It's all over Twitter and Instagram, and now everybody thinks this is the confirmation they've been waiting for. The post has no purpose anymore, and he obviously won't sit in front of Facebook to read all the hateful comments and probably even messages he's gotten.

It's so surprising that this whole wedding thing is supposed to be a secret, yet everybody and their mother knows everything, everybody has information, and everybody leaks everything. I simply think there are a bunch of clout chasers, just like the wedding organizer lady, Justin, and his father.

I wouldn't be surprised if this whole post idea wasn't even his. What does he have to do with this in the first place? It was definitely not a new picture, and if they are actually getting married, he definitely knew about this beforehand, like he didn't get to know from some articles online or yesterday. There is no way he thought it was okay to post about it since nobody, like neither Chris nor Alba, talked about this whole thing or confirmed anything. We haven't even received anything new about this whole wedding or marriage thing in the past few days. He isn't her dad, or relative, or anything like that.

I can't find a single reason why he would've done this if this was a legit relationship.
