as promised... something!
....::::**•°✾°•**::::........::::**•°✾°•**::::.... ....::::**•°✾°•**::::....
She hears the distinctive sound of the WhatsApp video call. Its weird when they're in different countries, the mode of communication changes time and time again to avoid crazy roaming charges. She's used to being able to call him quick using the regular phone app, to see if he wanted her to pick up dinner or to ask him nicely if he would switch her laundry out for her.
It's weird to start over on another app, it almost feels like they're starting another relationship. It feels so different. The inside jokes and frequent questions about the HBO password are nowhere to be found, in it's place is an empty blank page, waiting hopefully to be filled with the same.
She picks up her phone from the edge of the bed and swipes to answer the call. She looks at the time when she does, 10:04, almost five minutes late for their scheduled call.
At least that has stayed the same.
The slight hum of the highway plays in the background, and there Andrew sits. He looks tired, but not over consumed. It's a good kind of tired, like the kind you get after a good, but long day. More of a content-tired. His hair is in the messiest bun possible, obvious that he needed it out of the way and had lost all ability to care. He's got his glasses on, and Y/N remembers when he Facetimed her from the eye doctor to see if they looked good before he ordered them.
She internally thinks that they still do.
"Hey love", he finally speaks between bites of a sandwich. She looks down at the table the phone is propped on, and sees the distinctive red and white wrappings.
"Are you kidding, you went to Wawa without me..."
"I'm sorry! The band voted before we left Philly! I told them you'd be mad but they don't seem to care about my marriage so... I had to"
"This is a betrayal, of the highest degree. I can't picture a world where I can forgive you"
"If I could ship one across the Atlantic to you, you know I would"
There is a few beats of silence, they both know that statement means more than just a sandwich.
She finally breaks,
"How are you holding up?"
"Eh, not bad. I've not been this tired in a while but I'll get used to it soon. I've done it before."
"It's quiet in the bus, where is everyone else?"
"Sleeping"
"So everyone else is sleeping and you stayed up to call me?
He takes another bite of his sandwich before answering simply,
"Yeah."
She stares at him through the phone as he keeps eating like he doesn't understand the niceness of his actions, it's just second nature to him.
"Thank you," she says, voice full of genuine earnestness.
He doesn't respond to that, instead, he switches to another topic. He doesn't feel like he needs thanks for his actions, he would rather thank her for being around to call him.
"How are you at home, everything good?"
"Yeah, there was a dead bird in the yard yesterday, Elwood found it while we were playing, he almost picked it up but I got to him before he did. That's honestly the most exciting thing that's happened here since you left."
"But that's the joy of the country isn't it, that nothing ever happens?"
"Yeah. But I would rather do nothing with you than do nothing alone"
There's a long stretch of silence between them before Andy notices a tear fall down Y/N's cheek. There are no other signs of her sadness, no shaking shoulders or audible sounds. Just a few gentle tears that he would've missed if he wasn't so utterly enraptured by her face on the five-inch screen. His heart breaks.
"Hey hey, it's ok love, it's just a bit longer. I'll be home for a break in a few weeks. "
"I know. It's just really hard."
He doesn't know what to say to that at first. He wants to hammer on about how she knew what she was getting into, and this was an inevitability. But he knew she knew that. Him repeating it isn't going to make either of them feel any better. The next part of him yearned to just get on a plane and be at home, but that wasn't fair to anyone. Not his bandmates, not the concertgoers, and not Andy who loved what he did more than anything.
All he could say was
"I know."
You imagine the separation being hard but no one really prepares you for it. You can't prepare for it. It's the pain of losing a routine and a lover all at once. It's the frustration of needing help, of needing someone to take something off your plate and having someone willing to, but that someone is 1000 miles away. Literally.
She's crying a little harder now, still silent, with the tears increasing in frequency and size. He says again,
"I know. I know how hard it is cause I feel it too. You know what I miss the most right now?"
"What?"
"I miss the things that you do that piss me off. The annoying stuff. I miss how you always steal bites of my food."
She can't help but laugh at that. He keeps talking,
"I miss how cold your feet are and how you're always trying to shove them under me to warm them. And how often you leave dirty clothes on the floor."
She joins in this time,
"I miss your hair clogging the shower drain. And how you use every possible dish when you cook."
"See, doesn't it hurt a little less knowing that you don't have to unclog the shower for a while?"
"Yeah, and I'm sure you sleep easier without my cold feet poking you."
Theres another small pause, but this one is not as sad as the rest of them. This one feels like two people comfortable with each other, just basking in the silence, feeling no pressure.
"It sucks love, it really does. But it gets easier. And there are less shitty days. And it's not for forever."
"Ok, it's shitty, but I've felt shittier. And it's not for forever."
"Yeah."
"OK," she says, wiping her eyes a bit to try to show a bit of a braver face, "this is getting kind of bummer-ish, talk to me a bit about tour stuff"
For the rest of the call, he prattled on about various events and hijinks at his shows, on the road, and in between. About halfway through the story, he realized that she had fallen asleep and for some reason, he finished the story before hanging up. Possibly hoping that she would wake back up, but mostly enjoying the domestic feeling of talking to her. He eventually hung up, settling with the fact that she was indeed asleep for real. A few hours and a timezone later after he woke up from his own nap, he noticed a WhatsApp message again,
I forgot the HBO password again...

a shitload of incorrect quotes
Tech: *clicks pen* Crosshair: *clicks pen in response* Wrecker: Stop that. Tech: Stop what? Wrecker: You’re talking about me in Morse code! Tech: Yes, that’s what we doing. In our very limited time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you. Congrats, you figured us out! *later* Crosshair, to Omega: That’s actually exactly what we were doing.
Hunter: What’s something you guys are better than Crosshair at? Wrecker: Mario Kart. Omega: Yeah, all video games except first-person shooters and The Last Of Us. Tech: Emotional vulnerability.
Tech: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Hunter: Maybe a bit tipsy? Echo: Drunk. Wrecker: Wasted. Crosshair: Dead.
Echo, setting down a card: Ace of spades. Tech, pulling out an Uno card: +4. Crosshair, pulling out a Pokémon card: Absol, I choose you! Hunter, trembling: What are we playing?!
Wrecker: What is love? Hunter: An emotional minefield. Tech: A neurochemical reaction. Omega: Baby don't hurt me.
Crosshair: What starts with F and ends with Uck? Echo: No it doesn't. Tech: Firetruck! Omega: FUCK!
Omega: I wish I could control wasps and bees to sting my enemies. Hunter: You’re too young to have enemies. Omega: You don’t even know.
Crosshair: If I die, you can have what little I own. Hunter: Wait. What do you mean "if" you die? Crosshair: My unending existence is fuelled by pure spite, that of which the painful experiences of life have rendered me full. Hunter: Hunter: *Sigh* Let me call your therapist again.
Nexu: I’m not a doctor, I’m a medic. Wrecker: What’s the difference then? Nexu: Well doctors actually save lives, medics just make you feel more comfortable as you die. Crosshair: Note to self; never get shot.
Crosshair: Hand me the people opener. Hunter: ... Hunter: Pardon? Crosshair, annoyed: The people opener! Just hand it to me! Hunter, stressed: WHAT THE FUCK IS A PEOPLE OPENER? Crosshair: How do you not know what a people opener is? Its pointy- you know? With a handle? Hunter: Knife. It's called a knife.
Omega, hugging Crosshair: Do you feel any better? Crosshair: I feel much better now that you're here with me. *Hunter walks in* Crosshair: I feel half better.
Hunter: Would you rather kill Tech, or— Echo: Yes, kill them. Hunter: I didn’t say the other thing— Echo: I don’t need to hear it. Tech: …I’m feeling a little unsafe.
Benji, to cadet Crosshair: Oh my stars you are so cute and small! Crosshair: *proceeds to kick him in the shin and run away* Hunter, walking past: Rule number 1, don't call Crosshair cute or small.
Hunter: Omega is at that very special age where a kid only has one thing on their mind. Crosshair: Murder? Omega: Murder.
Hunter: How high are you? Crosshair: 6'4". Tech: No, he's asking what drugs are you on. Crosshair: Oh, antidepressants, why?
Crosshair: Hey, do you know the password to Hunter’s computer? Omega: Fuck you, Crosshair. Crosshair: Hey!! Omega: No, you misunderstood, the password is "fuckyouCrosshair". Crosshair: Oh, no numbers? Not very safe.
Omega: In my defense, I was left unsupervised. Echo: Wasn’t Crosshair with you? Crosshair: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.
Tech: I will find us a ride. Tech: If you two can manage to not kill each other while I'm gone. Omega: Oh, please. We're not children. *Tech leaves* Omega, casually: ...Eat shit and die. Crosshair, also casually: Yes, fuck you.
Omega: Are you the big spoon or the little spoon? Crosshair: I'm a knife. Wrecker, from across the room: He's the little spoon.
Crosshair: Fun Fact! The average person will walk by 36 murderers in their lifetime. Echo: I like how this is a "fun" fact. Hunter: It's fun because they didn't decide to murder you.

LOVE?
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x reader
Summary: You and Wanda hate each other, or used to.
a/n: this is part two of loath to love
Tumblr media
Ever since you two woke up tangled in each other's arms, you two had been nice to each other. Things were awkward, and you knew it. But you tried to act professional and continued focusing on the mission. But surprisingly to you, Wanda was nice towards you the whole time. I mean, she didn't make fun of the way you trained, or even made fun of your clothing style which you two usually did. It seemed so strange, but you weren't complaining.
After you two were done training and had breakfast at the local coffee shop, you decided to communicate with your fellow teammates to discuss the next steps on the mission. Steve explained that he has sent you two a map of the place to help you understand the plan and then explained it, but you weren't listening. All your thoughts were on the fact that Wanda smelled her shirt when you mentioned that you smelled like her. And she smiled.
You didn't want to admit that you liked her smile, nor wanted to admit that she smelled nice and comforting. You wanted to focus on the plan but your mind went elsewhere all the time. You didn't know that she knew you were thinking of her, since she can read minds. Of course she didn't want to listen to your thoughts, she didn't want to be that kind of an asshole, but your thoughts where too loud she couldn't block them out.
As soon as Steve was done explaining the plan, you closed the call and Wanda raised her head and looked at you. "You understood the plan?" She asked. "Y-yeah, I did." You replied. Of course you didn't listen, you were thinking of her. But you will never, in a million years, would admit that to her. Hell no. She would hold this thought and haunt you with it for the rest of your lives. "Okay, we should get going then," She commanded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You two went to the facility you were trying to get the information from. The information is to know when their next attack is going to be. They have been terrorizing this city with attacks for the last three days and you wouldn't let it just happen.
"You still remember the plan, right?" She questioned. "I do," You lied. You hoped beyond hope that whatever you are about to pull off works since you have no idea what the plan is and you would never ask her.
"Good, we should take our positions," She commanded. You saw her go and sneak behind one of the walls, so this was your que to go to your position.
wait, what is my position??
You just saw a metal door and walked to the wall behind it, almost mimicking Wanda. You tried to peek at a hole on the metal door to see if there is what you are looking for. At least you know what your looking for.
The room was filled with computers, and there was no one there that you can see. So you guessed it was fine to find a way to sneak in and bring the wanted information. You slowly opened the door and looked inside. No one is there. You went inside to find the computer that looked the most important and guessed it had the information you wanted. You walked all the way to that computer, and opened it. You were a bit confused as to why it had no password or anything since it looked like it was important but you shrugged it off. After you went through the computer, you finally found it. The wanted information. You reached for the ear piece to tell Wanda about it. "Wanda! I got it! I got the-"
You were cut off by a bunch of guards rushing through the door. "Seize her!" The guy with the red scarf around his neck demanded. You immediately tried to fight. Knowing your powers, you thought you were capable of beating all of them by just one move, but they were too many, and they were two steps ahead of you.
They wore an armor that protected them from your power, so all your efforts were wasted. You reached for the earpiece to ask for help from Wanda. "Wanda!! backup!! I need backup quickly!!" You managed to say when the earpiece was snatched from your ear and you were knocked out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Wanda heard you from the earpiece, she panicked. How could this happen? the mission was well planed and you said you understoo-
Oh wait, you lied.
"Dammit," Wanda cursed under her breath. She should have been more aware of the fact that you weren't listening to her. She quickly got up and tried to communicate with her teammates to tell them about the situation. "Steve. Steve do you hear me?" She asked. "Yes, what is it?" Steve replied. "Y/N got captured! track them down, quickly!" She exclaimed. "On it." Said Steve and went offline.
Wanda couldn't help but blame herself. She could've avoided this if she just explained the plan again or accompanied you to the room. But she quickly brushed her thoughts off and decided it is best to work than dwell on the past. Just as she started getting ready to look for you, Steve called. "Hey Steve, where are they?" Wanda asked. "I'll send you the location," He said and closed the call.
She quietly followed the location, trying not to draw attention and to be as quick as possible. When she reached the destination, she found herself in a really dark basement that was full of rats and had a concrete floor and pipes where everywhere. She quickly continued walking to the point that was marked on her device. When she reached there, she saw a really large wooden door. She stood beside it and tried to hear the thoughts from behind the door.
"Poor thing, they thought that it was that easy to find information out of us," She heard a man speaking, sounding so smug. "It was all a trap, dear. See, we heard you walking all the way to that door and one of our guards informed us, then we planned the whole show!" He said referring to when they captured you. "Tell me now, Who do you work for, hmm? who is pathetic enough to send you?" The guy said and chuckled. Wanda felt anger rising inside her immediately. How can he insult you like that?? You were never pathetic and never will be.
Not feeling herself from the anger, Wanda's magic exploded in a wave of scarlet that destroyed the wooden door and reached to the people inside. When the door fell, she saw that there was five people in the room; four guards, and one that looked like the leader. Without thinking, The witch began taking them down one by one without any mercy.
The minute she managed to defeat them all, she walked to you and found you tied to a chair and mouth covered in a piece of clothing. She quickly untied you and helped you get up from the chair. "Are you okay?" She asked with so much concern on her voice and eyes it was almost unbelievable to you. You nodded your head and muttered an apology. "No, Y/N, don't apologize, it's not your fault at all. It's mine." She said. "I knew you weren't paying attention to me or Steve when we explained the plan to you but I still let you go on your own. I'm so sorry." She said.
You couldn't believe it. Your rival, apologizing to you. You must be dreaming. "It's alright, we are both fine now and that's what matters," You said and Wanda smiled a little.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you two arrived to the compound, you were both moved to the med bay immediately to get the right amount of care needed for your conditions. "Hey Y/N," Wanda said. "Hmm?" You asked looking away from your bandaged arm. "I was thinking, this week was a long week and we are free for the next week, so how about we hangout for a while? You know, somewhere quiet where we can just relax. So what do you say?" Wanda asked while smiling a little. You looked at her in shock for a few seconds and then nodded your head smiling, and Wanda's smile widened.
"I'd love that,"
================================================
Finally, I uploaded a part two!! This chapter sat on my drafts for far too long lmaoo. anyways I hope you liked it. My requests are open!

i personally think the rope thing on his waist is massively hideous
i would strangle him with that i mean nothing
hes probably a massive asshole but everyone excuses it because he's hot (he's not i think you guys are blind)
i think i heard he tries to kill mc and idk man thats pretty fucked up ngl

he is NOT a certified g
he looks like he beats up and abuses people and i do NOT stand for that
oh wait yeah he does that to mammon 💀
he also has a punchable face so
he probably looks at babies to make them cry
3/10 (3 points because im preparing ms for even worse characters)

England's got a new queen!
part 1 of 6
Buckingham Palace silent amid reports of sick Queen
Reports came in early this morning of Queen Mary falling suddenly ill overnight. Authorities have yet to determine the cause, but sources say they spotted HRH Princess Catherine, HRH Prince Philip and the Duchess of Cambridge, and HRH Princess Beatrice arriving at the Palace in the last hour.
Buckingham Palace denied comment.
Our hearts go out to the royal family in these trying times.
or
Alex and Henry finally have a break from school, royal and first son duties, and work, so they hightail it to Nowhere, Colorado for a much needed vacation. Only problem? There is no service whatsoever, and the Queen has fallen mysteriously ill in the meantime.
-
title proudly from billy joel's 'we didn't start the fire'
also on ao3
-
"We are going to be totally unreachable," Alex explains. "No phones, no laptops, no Shaan, nothing."
Nora rolls her eyes, but Alex continues to look at her earnestly. This is no joking matter to him, she knows; the stars had finally aligned so that Alex's second semester of law school ended the week before Henry had a full week free from royal duties, and with nothing big planned between Kensington, the White House, and the shelters, they had decided to take a much needed vacation to a secluded cabin in Colorado where there was absolutely no service to speak of. The only possible way to communicate with them would be through secret service or PPOs, and even that would be sketchy. Which means she has heard his 'how to take care of the brownstone in our absence' lecture several times in the last hour. But it’s all worth it. Because they need a break.
"Yes, Alex, I know where you're going and what you're doing," Nora says slowly, as if to a toddler. "It's not like you haven't told me 50 times."
He wrinkled his nose at her. "C'mon, Nora-" he starts.
"I have house sat for you before," Nora says, hair bouncing as she shakes her head in annoyance. "And David's not even here this time! There's barely anything to watch."
"What about the plants-"
"Alex!" Henry shouts from the stairs of the plane, foot tapping impatiently. "It's time to go. Stop bothering Nora."
"I'm just making sure she doesn't burn the house down," Alex yells back, though he's smiling. "But seriously, don't burn the house down-"
"Go," she says and steers him by the shoulder toward the waiting aircraft, "or there's a very high chance of me killing you."
As they make their way to Henry, Nora pulls Alex's phone out of his back pocket and types in the password Alex doesn't know she knows.
"Hey-"
"Hush." He reaches out to take the phone back, but Nora holds it out in front of her so his little 5'8" arms can't reach it. Then, she quickly puts it on airplane mode, Henry chuckling behind them.
Alex makes an offended noise. "The plane won't even take off for another 10 minutes!"
"And I just did you a huge favor," Nora counters, and she knows she's right.
"Yes, thank you, Nora." A look up shows Henry doing the same thing. "Tell Nora thank you, Alex."
Alex heaves a sigh. "Thank you, Nora."
There's a 92% chance of him actually being grateful.
Finally, he sends her one last grin before finally going up the stairs and entering the plane with Henry, and she watches idly as attendants get it ready for takeoff.
Ten minutes later, the plane is rolling down the airstrip, blowing Nora's curls all around her face.
Her phone dings. It's a text from June.
hottest month ❤️: check the news right now
Not a second later, there's a flood of notifications, all under the key words 'Queen Mary' and 'royal family.' Hands shaking, she clicks on one.
Buckingham Palace silent amid reports of sick Queen
Reports came in early this morning of Queen Mary falling suddenly ill overnight. Authorities have yet to determine the cause, but sources say they spotted HRH Princess Catherine, HRH Prince Philip and the Duchess of Cambridge, and HRH Princess Beatrice arriving at the Palace in the last hour.
Buckingham Palace denied comment.
Our hearts go out to the royal family in these trying times.
There are at least a dozen others just like it, all of them which Nora reads word for word. Within minutes, she's accepting a call from June.
"What the hell," she says without waiting for the other girl.
Fortunately, June is used to it. "Yeah, I know. The story just broke, like, a minute ago. Please tell me Alex and Henry are still on the ground?"
With a dawning horror, Nora raises her head to the sky and sees nothing but clouds in every direction.
She presses the phone back to her ear. "I've got some bad news."
"Shit." There's a rustling on the other side of the phone. "Mom wants everyone at the Residence."
And, okay, that's kinda weird. There's no actual reason anyone but Ellen needs to do anything beyond a sympathetic Twitter post (except Henry, obviously, who is probably expected at Buckingham Palace any time now).
Which means- "She thinks there's foul play, doesn't she?" The words aren't even all the way out of her mouth before Nora's fingers are itching for a computer so she can hack her way through this problem.
June sighs. "She said not to panic, but because of how abrupt it was and the current political climate in the UK, there's a possibility it's not natural."
A group of leaves blows through the airstrip. "And because of our ties to the royal family-"
"She's afraid we could be next," June finishes, tone grim. "The good news is, so many of our policies are in direct conflict with Mary's that if it is dirty, we may be in the clear."
"That's a good theory, especially considering her last endorsement." It's well known that the Queen's most recent focus was a Tory immigration bill the likes of which the UK has never seen.
"Analysis?"
Nora thinks for a moment. "36% chance of an assassination attempt on the Queen, 23% chance of an assassination plot on the rest of us."
June hums. "That low on the Queen?"
A laugh bubbles out of Nora's throat. "She is very old, babe. What does this mean for Alex and Henry?"
"Hang on, I'm pulling up to the airstrip."
A second later, a black SUV pulls around the corner, and Nora hangs up the phone as June climbs out.
She frowns, loose bun bobbing in the breeze. "You hung up on me."
Her UT hoodie and old jeans fit nicely with Nora's Claremont-Holleran sweatshirt and black leggings with holes in the knees. Neither of them thought anyone would have to see them today.
"Hello to you, too," Nora answers. "What's happening?"
"We're gonna fly to D.C.," is all June says.
"And the boys?"
She scratched her neck uncertainly. "I don't know. No one can get a hold of them."
"No one can get a hold of them, or they're ignoring attempts at communication?"
"No one can get a hold of them. Calls aren't going through to them or Cash." June looks more and more uneasy as the conversation goes on, and Nora wishes she had any words of reassurance.
"Shit." They hadn't wanted to take a ton of security on the off chance the media figured out what was going on. That idea wasn't looking too good anymore. "Who all knows where they are?"
June straightens, probably already having thought of this herself. "Me, you, Pez, Bea, the parents, Zahra and Shaan, Rafael, and the security teams. Not even the Queen knows."
"Well," Nora starts, "if someone really is trying to kill us, they may be safer in nowhere, Colorado."
June sighs, and . "I hope so."
-
Alex doesn't even make it 15 minutes into the flight before he starts feeling the effects of not using his phone, which is weird because he has been on flights before where he can't use his phone. It's probably just the knowledge that he won't be able to use it when they land. Or when they get to the cabin. Or for the next four days.
But it's okay. This is what he wanted. He left his laptop at home of his own volition.
The sound of a page turning distracts him from his thoughts.
Henry has one hand buried in David's fur where the dog naps at his side and is reading a book from the truly giant stack he brought - Sense and Sensibility, he thinks - and has a pleasant little smile on his face. It's so cute that Alex snaps a photo.
Henry looks up at the shutter sound. "Can I help you?"
Alex grins at him. "You look good, babe."
"Well." He laughs when Henry's ears turn red. "Is that all, then?"
"Yeah, babe, you can go back to your book."
A few more minutes pass with only the sound of Henry's page turning and Cash's crossword puzzle, and with nothing to do but stare out the window, Alex realizes he seriously needs to pick up some hobbies.
At some point, he finds a pen on the table between him and Henry and starts clicking it against the table to see how high it will go.
The answer? Pretty damn high.
"Alex!" Henry exclaims, squirming and upsetting David as Alex's pen hits him in the chest. "Can you really not occupy yourself for a little bit?"
"Sorry, babe." He's not sorry.
Henry throws the pen at him. "Didn't you bring something to do?"
"Yeah." He brought several things to do: Michelle Obama's biography, a complete guide to the political references in Parks and Rec, and, because he couldn't resist work, a speech June wanted him to look over for an event he was heading for Mom in July.
"Then why don't you do that?" Henry's left eyebrow is approaching the ceiling.
"I don't know! I just don't feel like it." Yes, he is aware he sounds ridiculous.
Henry closes his book and puts it down next to him. Oh, shit. "Alex, you have been on longer flights than this without your phone. What is going on?"
"I don't know, I just have a weird feeling that something happened," he says. It's hard to explain.
"Darling, if anything important happens, someone will contact Cash through comms."
Objectively, he knew that, but, "I don't know what to tell you, I just have a weird feeling." He makes grabby hands. "I need to check the news. I need my phone."
Henry slaps his hands away. "That's called an addiction, babe."
Alex throws the pen at him.
-
There's a car waiting for them when they land in D.C., and in no time, they're pulling up to the White House.
As they walk into the Residence, June pulls out her phone. "Bea still hasn't texted me back, and Pez says it's radio silence on his side. Alex and Henry are still unreachable."
Bea nods. "Well, their flight isn't even half over, and Buckingham is probably under lock and key."
June supposes that makes sense, though it doesn't do much to reassure her. Of course her little brother would be unreachable now, of all times, when there might be an assassination plot. Dramatic shit.
The white tiles pass under their feet quickly until they hear the sound of heels clicking, and Zahra rounds a corner straight into them.
She waves them farther into the hallway. "Come on, everyone's in the sitting room."
June scrunches her face scrunch up in confusion. "Everyone?"
"Yes, everyone except your brother and his boyfriend are here because someone might be trying to kill you. Keep moving."
June looks at Nora, alarmed. "I thought that was just a theory."
She is not ready to face an assassination this early in life.
"Your mother is the first female president. There are always threats to your life. It's when the threats start connecting to real events when we actually take notice." Zahra doesn't slow down throughout her little speech, and June has to admit she has a point.
Finally, they round a corner and reach a sitting room, still overly white like the rest of the building. Blue couches and armchairs spread out across the room, and a light brown coffee table sits in the middle of it all. Her dad, Rafael Luna, and Amy are seated in two of the armchairs while her mom and Leo share a couch. With Congress in session, she supposed they all had less travel time.
The room is quiet. Too quiet.
Everyone looks up when they enter, and June unsticks her tongue from the room of her mouth. "What do we know?"
Ellen stands, looking thankful to not have to break the uncomfortable silence for once. "Queen Mary fell sick some time around yesterday evening. Catherine, Bea, Philip, and Martha are all at Buckingham Palace as of this morning. There has been no attempt at communication, and they are not taking my calls. Shaan-" June recalls that Shaan and Zahra were going to spend the weekend off together while the boys were in Colorado so he must be somewhere in the Residence "-is currently trying to get ahold of someone on their end." She pauses, taking a breath. "As of right now, poisoning has not been ruled out as a possibility."
June sucks in a breath, even though it's all stuff she already knew. "And Alex and Henry?"
Ellen clasps her hands in front of her and purses her lips. "No answer. And before you ask, no one can reach Cash either."
Next to her, Nora snorts. "Sounds about right."
That really breaks the tension. Everyone starts laughing, even Zahra, because it really is such a typical Alex thing to do, cause an uproar in the midst of an international crisis and not even be there for it. This is how Shaan finds them a couple minutes later.
Unfortunately, that makes them sober very quickly.
"Well?" Ellen asks, voice surprisingly strong.
Shaan clears his throat. "I was able to get in contact with the head of security at Buckingham Palace. She informed me that while there is no concrete reason to believe Her Majesty has been poisoned, there are some extenuating circumstances that make the situation suspicious. Increased threats immediately before her sudden illness, things breaking around the Palace, et cetera, all aligning with Her Majesty's newest controversial policy announcement."
Oscar raises an eyebrow. "What's the verdict then? Are we safe?"
Shaan looks stricken, and Amy stands. "Because we don't have a good picture of the whole situation, I think it would be best if everyone were to remain here."
Again, the age old question. "And Alex and Henry?"
"I see no reason to cut their vacation short since there's only suspicion. Besides, if something really is going on-"
"They're probably safest in bumfuck, Colorado, where nobody knows they are," Nora finishes.
Amy nods. "Exactly."
Something else occurs to June. "What about the Queen? Is there any news on her?" Not that she particularly cares either way, but if it really ends up that she was poisoned, it'll only make her a martyr, and June will need to start working on some pieces to negate that load of shit.
Shaan hesitates. Bad news? Good news? She can't tell without knowing how he feels about Her Majesty. "Well, that is the other thing." June steels herself. "The head of security wasn't positive, but it seems the Queen is taking a turn for the worst."
June braces herself. (Or does she see a glimmer of hope?)
"They don't expect her to make it through the weekend."

WIP Wednesday
Well it's WIP Wednesday, so here is a bit of a Resident Evil fic that has been in the works for a while and I'm prepping to finish and roll out this spring!
●・○・●・○・● ●・○・●・○・● ●・○・●・○・●
The voice is instantly familiar, and Leon narrows his eyes as memories of Lanshiang surface. “Is this Jake?”
“Yeah. Is this Leon?”
He stands and walks to the door of his office, closing it before he replies. “Yes. How did you get my number?”
“You gave it to me, remember?”
“No.”
There is an annoyed huff on the other end. “Whatever. I need to ask you something.”
Leon swallows thickly. He knows everything about Muller now; after returning from Lanshiang, he had read every bit of information on the guy. Knowing he was related to Wesker was unnerving to say the least, and he regretted not being able to interview him personally the times they had met face to face. But there was just too much going on, and he’d been too busy since, although he made sure the DSO was keeping tabs on him and his little protection operation. “Make it quick,” he replies.
“Do you know where Sherry is?”
“Probably working,” he says.
“No. Something’s wrong.”
Leon frowns. “What are you talking about?”
“She hasn’t answered her phone in two weeks. Is she on assignment or something?”
He makes a face in annoyance. Not only had Sherry stayed in contact with Jake—which breaks about six protocols regarding agents on protective duty, not to mention Sherry talking to Wesker’s son—but he didn’t know about it. Which tells him that Sherry purposefully didn’t mention it, and Leon is not at all ready to think about why she wasn’t forthcoming. “Yeah. She’s probably on assignment. I suggest you leave her alone.”
“Listen, asswipe,” Jake growls, “you’re supposed to be her boss, right? And you don’t know where your agent is. Can’t you fucking find her?”
“Watch it,” Leon snaps in warning. “I’m not her boss. If Sherry is on assignment, I wouldn’t necessarily know the details.” Then he takes a beat as he frowns. “What do you mean, she hasn’t answered her phone in two weeks?”
“Don’t you call her?”
Leon clears his throat. “Not regularly,” he admits. “But I’m sure she’s—”
“Well that’s kind of shitty of you,” Jake scolds him. “Sherry talks about you a lot. And what, you don’t bother with her no more?”
“Look, there’s been a lot of shit going on, if you haven’t noticed,” Leon argues. “And besides, I’m not about to give the location of one of the DSO’s agents to some random… person. Now don’t call me again.”
“No, wait!” Leon pauses from hanging up at Jake’s pleading tone. “Seriously. We were in communication pretty regularly. I’ve been tracking some BOWs through eastern Europe and she was keeping tabs on activity using her agency access. We would call or text every few days. And it’s been two weeks. It’s not like her.” Jake curses as Leon frowns, noting how genuinely frustrated he sounds. “Can’t you look on some computer or something, for fuck’s sake, and find her?”
Leon takes a moment to consider. If what Jake says is true, then yeah, something could be wrong. “Hang on,” he grumbles, sitting back at his desk. He opens the agency’s dashboard and types in his password, which gives him access to almost all of the company’s files. After clicking on the personnel search he enters Sherry Birkin into the system. Her picture pops up, her smile as sweet as the day they had met, and Leon feels a familiar tug of protection for her. Quickly he scans her basic info until he finds the tab for assignments, and a moment later her status appears on the screen.
“She’s on leave,” he says, breathing a bit of a sigh of relief.
“Leave?” Jake snaps. “What kind of leave? Like she’s sick?”
“No, personal, for…” Leon feels the blood drain from his face as he looks closer at the screen. “Jake, I’m gonna have to call you back.”
“No, fuckface, don’t hang—”
Leon presses the receiver button and quickly dials the extension for human resources. One of the clerks answers and he says, “This is Leon Kennedy. I need a status report on Sherry Birkin.”

leaked emails fic has me like 👀👀👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@burnthatbridge @sibylsleaves im sensing yall want me to talk about leaked emails 🤔 not certain though
but for real sdgfhsdfjkdsa it's very silly and very loosely based off the community episode basic email security where essentially a hacker gets into the school wifi and leaks everyone's emails. and as we have learned i do love a good multimedia fic. which means yes probably more html coding hell i can't wait
but yes its essentially just all the 118 gets their emails leaked dsgshgdafh its SO stupid but tremendously fun and will probably be my next wip after i've finished this one. heres just a lil bit from it!!
“So I have just gotten off the phone with the Chief,” Bobby says. “And it appears that our stationwide WiFi network was hacked.”
Chimney blinks. “What?”
It’s Ravi who snorts. “It’s not like it’s hard,” he says, as though this is a call-wide opinion they all share. When everyone predictably gawks at him, he seems to realise that this is not the case. “Uh… just kidding?”
“Ravi,” Bobby says, “what does that mean?” He balks, looking a little afraid. “Was it… was it you?”
“What? No,” Ravi says. “But… you know. It’s not like it’s a fortress.” When everyone keeps staring at him, he tentatively elaborates, “Our password is literally station118.”
Bobby looks wounded. “I thought it was clever.”
“I’m pretty sure the guys at the café next door are on the WiFi,” Ravi says. “And the restaurant across the road.”

Leverage Redemption Log: The Card Game Job
Ok, time for the show to try and justify its use of playing-cards in the leader i guess? (still waiting for the timebomb) --- Ah, a beautiful establishing shot of a riverside, then a shot of a toppled tree. Nice to see a place get shown rather then hidden behind infinity-point font.
Kids dad is running out of money for their medication, its gotten to the point they need to sell their truck. (Fuck) kid dies within 1 minute of taking the medicine. --- Look I know this guy is scum, but lets not use the "he's pleading the fifth and listening to his lawyer and therefore must be evil" propaganda bullshit, allright? He's evil because he's holding sick childrens lives hostage, not because he's pleading the fifth.
hedge fund primarily made up of his own money? That sounds like a lie. --- Poor Lucy, Not only did she get fucking kidnapped, not only does she have to watch workplace harassment seminar videos but also IT looked into her browsing history? Poor Lucy.
Coffee and Beignets delivered (place your bets for poison?), button-cam in place.
Suck-up is gonna be the achiles heel. (Suck up is also the true mastermind behind the price-gauging) Breanna is placing office bugs.
Guy got second in a TCG once years ago and is still pissed about it. Initial prediction: Sell him a Black Lotus? --- Back from commercials, Breanna is loredumping. Apparently there is a rare and unique card in the castle somewhere. (no one knows what the finder gets outside the card. Im betting its Willy Wonka rules and the finder gets the company) --- They've taken the bait and now legitimately think the company might be for sale.
redirected his e-mail server. Honestly a lot more we could be doing with that. (you know what happens when a hedgefund CEO type doesnt have access to his own e-mail for a day? What can happen if you can send e-mails from his server in his name? I sure as heck dont know but am afraid of the answer)
Ok, either he is actually selling or we're getting counter-conned. (yeah, number 2 is definitly the real power here. We're scamming the wrong mark) --- and we're doing a national-treasure cluehunt. (its gonna suck, cause all the riddles are gonna be clueless riddles about a fictional cardgame we as an audience cant solve.)
Why the slo-mo on the walkout of the theatre? This scene does not ask for that. --- Sad Breanna is sad that Parker wont accept their help. (Parker is acting a bit OOC here, she knows better then to refuse a booklet of passwords)
Harry is here to unionise the securityguards.
Breanna has bought Parker time by attacking his pride and re-focussing him into "proving himself" by playing the actual game (he knows he cant lie about the riddles) Big Thug is off to find Sophie (dont worry, Elliot is with her)
Elliot is not happy that he's being volunteered for a Joust. (weird, i know he likes horses) --- Cordozar is wearing secret Clark Kent glasses to cheat. (When is team leverage gonna catch on that they're conning the wrong mark) --- And "Rage" has killed Elliot's dragon. Ah the classic "its all part of the show" fightscene. Love myself one of those.
Ok its the lake-pond. Nice little thing with harry signing to take the earbuds out for a private talk. --- "you have to be a killer" breanna says one thing he doesnt like and he imediatly calls for a time-out. Look for anyone who wasnt paying attention, obviously this all ends with Mr. Poet not selling his company because his passion has been re-ignited, and may even end with him getting his castle back. But I just want to note how charming it is to see Sophie con a man, not because she is after anything he owns but because she just needs him to be happy and distracted for a bit. --- What do you mean it took Breanna this long to realise she could hack his glasses/earbud thingy or his assistants cardgame-supercomputer... I guess she is new at this like Harry is so it sort of makes sense for her to miss that... --- Climatic "place to belong" community-speech is a bit on the nose and overdone but its a cliche that is overdone for a reason. (guess what, most cliche's are cliche because they work. saying something is cliche is a statement of fact not an insult)
"guess im not that good", nice line. 8.9/10 --- "lets just say the new owners are happy, and even happier to avoid a class action lawsuit". Game night at the theatre. --- Unfortunately this episode did not assist in justifying the sequel series bond-based trailer.

you're not who you are to anyone. [edward nashton]
warnings: fights (yelling, calling someone psycho, pointing fingers), really big problems with communication, break up, twisted views about society
author's note: this is heavily inspired by good looking by suki waterhouse. yes I was supposed to write for my series but ended up writing a 1.3k blurb.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"i'm going to take a shower" edward announced and y/n only nod continuing to do whatever task she was doing.
as soon as he closed the door and the sound of water was present, she got up from the couch and ran to their room.
where was it? did he take it with him? no, she would've seen it... did he hide it? but it would've only make things worse!
her shoulders relaxed as she finally found it. now she just needed the password, their anniversary? maybe her birthday?
it ended up being their cat's birthday, but she passed through that and pretended to not feel a little hurt and she did her best to check everything quickly before he got out of the shower.
she knew she looked crazy going over her boyfriend's phone but can you judge her when edward has been acting so weird? coming late every day, never paying attention to her, always busy and working extra hours...
"they were by the beach, sitting on rocks, looking at the serene ocean and the purplish sky. listening to the small waves and birds chirping. 
"do you remember how life was before us?" edward whispered to y/n. and it felt like one of those moments when you realize you're not gonna forget the other person's answer.
"i don't even think i want to remember a time without you, edward." she smiled at him, not curious about the beauty of the ocean or the sky, but far more interested in edward's eyes and his little grin.
"well, do you?" she asked and her heart skipped a beat, anxious for the answer.
he shook his head and put his arms around her shoulder, and edward smiled while he thought how stupid it would be to put their love in words. as if something so sacred and pure could have any words capable of describing it."
"hey! what the fuck are you doing?" edward yelled behind her and she jumped, he had his towel on his waist and wet hair, clearly he has just gotten out of the shower.
she had his phone in her hand, looking at him with a wide-eyed gaze, mentally cursing herself for being caught.
"it's nothing!" her voice went a tone higher than usual, trying her best to defend herself even if she knew that she had already dug her own grave. maybe that was it, the last straw. the end of everything.
"nothing? i turn my back for a second and when i come back my psycho girlfriend is looking at my phone? god, y/n, have you gone insane!" he shouted as he got his face close to her, tapping her in the head on the last sentence.
"sometimes i wonder if we're the same person." edward said in y/n's ear as they read a book together, to be honest, he wouldn't even be able to say what the book was about, he was far more intrigued in watching the way her eyes moved around the page and how she looked at him waiting for a signal that meant it was okay to go to the next page.
the thought was completely random, as he was taking in her presence he realized he must've imagined her, there was no way another human being was capable of making him feel the calmness he only gets when he's truly alone.
"shut up, i'm trying to read" she giggled and playfully rolled her eyes."
"oh please! you act as if i'm the only crazy one! you are the one that makes me like this edward!" she yelled while pointing her finger at him.
"don't you fucking dare to blame me!" from there it all just felt like a competition: who yells louder wins! of course, edward easily won, he was not the one looking into his girlfriend's phone. 
so she went to sleep without him, on the couch. she knew she was in the wrong but that doesn't mean he was in the right. she cried herself to sleep with the memories of the old relationship they had and to think that not long ago edward would hug her and say they should never sleep being angry with each other and now he was peacefully sleeping on the other room not caring about the eventual whimpers she would let out.
"it's for luck" edward winked at her while rolling the dice on her thighs, she only shook her head laughing at how ridiculous it was, and continued chatting with her friends.
"hell yeah!" edward and the boys clapped, apparently rolling dice on his girlfriend's thighs actually gave him luck as he won a stupid board game.
"told you, you are my lucky charm." he gave her a pack on the lips and continued to play whatever game was next."
the morning after the fight they didn't say anything to each other, only eating in silence. y/n blatantly stared at him, trying to figure out what the hell happened to her eddie, the one she fell in love with, not the one that left her crying in a cold room.
"who are you?" she whispered to him, catching his attention. he looked at her with teary eyes.
"i could ask you the same thing."
----
she was up late waiting for him again. she made a whole dinner, got dressed up, and he even texted her saying he would be there in no time. 
well, if no time meant never showing up he was correct. 
so she sat on the couch and forced herself to stay awake until he came home after his job if that was even where he was. 
"oh honey, what are you doing awake? 's so late..." edward said as he was taking off his shoe, rushing to the couch to hug y/n that was clearly fighting to keep her eyes open.
"waiting for you, eddie." and she sighed as she realized it was probably the first time she felt his hug in months. 
"you don't need to do that..." he said while trying to pick her up and put her on their bed but she stopped him.
"edward, we have to talk" and he knew what she meant. he knew what she wanted to talk about, but it was too soon for him to tell her the truth if he was ever going to.
either way, he sat beside her and waited for her to say whatever it is that has been keeping her awake at night, "edward, you've been coming home late every day..." 
he tried to pay attention to what she said, he truly did. but the past few months had been such a blur to him. with all the pressure on him to do everything right, to make all those riddles, to kill all those people, to expose all the lies. 
as the riddler he genuinely had a pretty busy life, it was getting hard to keep mundane things like his job or even his girlfriend.
"edward are you even listening?"
if she could only give him time to think... he could tell her but it would be against his plans. plans that took years, practically his whole life. no, he couldn't just throw it out. 
"edward nashton! can you pay attention to me at least once? we can't keep doing this if we don't communicate."
even if you don't understand, he is doing you a favor. cleaning the city so someone like you can live in peace. it infuriated him that you couldn't see what he was doing. how noble of him to expose all those rats.
"you're right. we can't keep this."
it broke his heart, but it was for the best. he was protecting you. from all the dirt that lay on that town, he was going to cleanse it all, and at the end you were going to be grateful.

I checked the JP atwiki of Medaka Box recently and found something regarding Iihiko: The Kanji for “Iihiko” makes up the word “Proverb”, ie, a fixed expression of perceived truth based on common sense or experience. “Wit of one, wisdom of many.”
Kamome saying Iihiko’s power being like a Style aside, could Iihiko had a proverb Style beforehand and just doesn’t notice it and let it mix with his Irreversibility to form the abilities to only be affected by communicative things he perceived and enforces the “ancient wisdom”, which are passed down through proverbs, no matter how outdated or lacking of context in modern times those proverbs could become?
That would be a really cool idea, and I like the headcanon that Fukurou based the Styles off of Iihiko's Irreversible Destruction, but I never got the impression that Iihiko was meant to literally have a Style
I always interpreted his "main character" status as most similar to but still distinct from Ajimu's as a Not Equal; main characters are a classification of existence, an ecological niche within the metaphysical world that, by their very presence, bend and shape the world around them
I think this makes them similar to Abnormals, in a sense. "Only an Abnormal can open the Door of Rejection; opening the door is proof that one is Abnormal, just as failing is proof that one is not." Any Abnormal who attempts to open the Door of Rejection will, by their mere presence, change the password to be whatever they would instinctively guess it is; even if they resolved to try every possible password in succession, it would always open on their first try
Not Equals seem like they have a bit more autonomy; hypothetically, if Ajimu couldn't open the Door of Rejection, then she would simply gain an ability that would allow her to circumvent it, like a "skill for walking through doors" or a "skill for knowing passwords." For an Abnormal, the door changes the password to allow them passage, while a Not Equal would gain the ability to overcome the challenge with ease. The ultimate result is the same, but the mechanism goes from a different direction, with the Abnormal being granted passage and the Not Equal creating the key
A main character, similarly but distinctly, is unimpeded by the door, but for them the door might as well not be there. If Iihiko were faced with the Door of Rejection, what do you think would happen? I can't imagine him even putting in a password, I can only see him just opening it casually as if it were a normal push door and the whole thing breaking in the process; maybe the hinges just happened to be just rusty enough to break, maybe the computer holding the lock closed fried, or maybe Iihiko is just that physically strong. Frankly, Medaka could probably have done that too if she'd wanted, but based on her "wait, I'm allowed to break the handcuffs?" moment, Medaka simply didn't use that method because it would go against her view of proper conduct. The point is, the door is meaningless to a main character; at worst, it's just like any other door to them, and at best it might as well have been an empty archway
With this similarity and difference in mind, I think the idea is that an Abnormal is like...a facsimile of a main character. Abnormals are geniuses among normals, with abilities that allow them to achieve anything they want, whereas main characters are blessed by fate itself, with every single event in history aligning to one day allow them to succeed in the end. This is why "Zero" Hitoyoshi is Ajimu's ultimate weapon against main character Medaka, because Hitoyoshi has gained the power to cut off fate's influence entirely; the hinges of a door, no matter how rusty, won't just happen to break when the door is pushed, the necessary force would have to be deliberately applied
The Styles, meanwhile, are deliberately meant to replicate Abnormalities; anyone can learn a Style, meaning that Normals can be given the ability to compete with an Abnormal so long as they're both speaking the same language (literally and figuratively). They're given a power that directly influences the world around them, allowing them to deliberately create the outcome they want so long as they know how to do it with their Style. Nienami's Contradictory Conjunction Style, for example, could allow her to open the Door of Rejection because she's not an Abnormal
Every iteration of mentality above Normal is ultimately something conceptually similar to a main character, but the actual main character is favored by the world itself above all others, giving them abilities that transcend the understanding and logic of everyone else, and no one else is allowed to oppose them, not even the Not Equals who are operating on a separate logic
Only another main character, who can compete directly for the focus from the world that makes a main character what they are, and a Zero, who negates that focus, are able to defeat a main character because of how they affect the focus
I'm not sure if I really answered your question, but I feel like if I keep talking about this, my logic is going to become even more confusingly Nisio Isin-esque. While that may allow me to find the answer, I can't imagine it'll be clear what I'm trying to say

Current WWDITS S4E1-2 thoughts:
- yep teared up at the intro not gonna lie I did do that
- NADJA MY BELOVED. AND WHAT A DRESS.
- okay but Laz how TF did the house get that messed up in a YEAR. Like on the one hand it’s a metaphor for their family (not escaping me that Guillermo is jumping in to fix it and keep it together despite much sighing and passive aggression) but also LASZLO WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO THE BASEMENT IS A POND AND THERE IS PLANT GROWTH EVERYWHERE.
- The Boy immediately reciting pi instead of the card password is peak Colin Robinson and I’m very pleased at his progress
- brief moment to scream about Nandor and Guillermo being friends and on a more equal footing, equally rabid excitement about this being Nandor’s pining era while Guillermo takes care of himself and doesn’t put up with Nandor’s or any of the others’ bull anymore. Nandor immediately jumping in to save Guillermo. Nandor respecting Guillermo’s feelings to a greater degree. Nandor and Guillermo y’all.
- calling it now, Guillermo’s London boyfriend is a vampire or something similar. Is he dating actual Freddie Mercury? Debatable but I’m willing to believe it wholeheartedly.
- they found some real raunchy ones for the Guide’s unlocked memories, huh? Oof. Wow. (Also brief moment to also scream about what others picked up on, how SLEEPING WITH A VAN HELSING COST THE GUIDE HER MEMORIES AND THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SEASON IS CALLED MEMORIES. COOL. COOL COOL COOL. Also choosing to tie this in with my theory that Freddie is a vampire bc the alternative is Nandor gets the ole memory wipe and while I love that I also don’t see how that helps Nandor in his character arc yet? We will see.)
- Guide has some Issues, poor thing. Not sure Laszlo was the best to help her with that XD but he’s the best we’ve got. Also: uhhh Nadja from whence comes this desire to open a vampire nightclub? Let’s explore that next. Also drooling for more details about her time in London, clearly something deeper going on with her.
- I would very much like to go back to the whole “Nandor’s home village is an unchanged by time vampire community now” and his whole “well if everyone is a vampire then it means there’s nothing special about being a vampire” thing. Because. Uh. Hmm. Cool thing to say to Guillermo, who still very badly wants to be a vampire, and very interesting to dig into re: group dynamics and Nandor’s continued unwillingness to change Guillermo and how everyone else in his life is a vampire except Guillermo, Djinn, and now Marwa I guess.
- I wanted more episodes with all the wives. Like I get juggling 37 spouses is a lot but. They were fun and I wanted more time with them. Especially dishing to the cameras the dirt on Nandor bc Yes. Good luck to Marwa, and bless her soul, she deserves better.
- Laszlo trying so hard to make sure The Boy doesn’t become Colin Robinson. If anything, it’s gonna make him into an even more unhinged and powerful Colin Robinson and I can’t wait to see it. Or he’s going to be exactly the same, which I’m excited to see too.
- excited! Ready for it! How did a tree wind up in the house! WHAT DID YOU DO LASZLO!!

To be added to this folder, Have a GitLab account. You also must activate 2FA.
Use Authy! Make sure save backup codes well in safe place. Do not let your phone number die, coz your phone number can be used to login with the PC version & is your login ofc.
Use Bitwarden to store your password! And just in case, you also would like to have KeePass XC.
Now you have it, tell me the gitlab username you registered or had with down in the comment, reblog (no don't I can't easily track these!), or DM PM with subject PLS_KOLMO_ACCESS. How to find again? Easy! Go to your own profilepage!
E.g. my profile is https://gitlab.com/JOELwindows7. That mean, JOELwindows7 is my username!
There you send it. We'll invite you.
Currently only have slot for Guest role. If you'd like to upload file to here, pls comment, or DM PM with subject PLS_KOLMO, followed with URL of file, and what's your name (can be multiple aliases) so we can match and put those in your folder.
(Only if you drew / animate / modeled these yourselves, Files yoinked from 3rd party is too dangerous to share rn, unless that confirmed author also okays, or it's gone.) If you shared considerably huge quantity of files, and agree for us to reupload (AGREE_UNIGNORE), your folder will have AMEMBER.txt. Congratulations, you are now member of X0p1r4r3 Eenvreensment, welcome!! All files in this folder will be included and you will have VIP benefits!
Now, if there is no DMCA drama, we will make this public for everyone!
One more thing
We will ask you gamers who did have original drawing / model / game / etc. you made yourself or team. Are we allowed to also upload the file itself?!
Yes!! Include File & URL (BEST RECOMMENDED)
Link Only!! Include just URL (Semi not recommended especially if URL chain ends in Cloud Storages instead of CDN)
No! Both URL and File are not included (NOT RECOMMENDED, if you lost this file, we mostly may not be responsible, unless we downloaded the file then it'll be unignored as all as we can)
To answer, either:
DM PM with subject PLS_KOLMO_PERMISSION, followed by YES, or LINK_ONLY, or NO.
Fork, find your folder username, create PLS_KOLMO_PERMISSION.txt, fill with YES, or LINK_ONLY, or NO.
Currently only ask if you did have arts you drew yourselves. For sparsdated file is later, to be figured out. You may agree for us right now, using answer above to include these community folder, well if you agree for the risk.
Wait, there is one answer type! It's FILE_ONLY. like LINK_ONLY, but opposite. You can use this if exposing the sauce URL could lead to Takedown by DMCA. Let this the file only, and original URL still impossible to find easily.

//
memory: Alias
Callisto's room, Somewhere in Unova, 20XX
"You have (1) unread message(s) in your inbox."
Without so much as batting an eye, Callisto clicked on it. It took a few seconds for the page to load - broadband internet's just like that, of course. She's heard on the TV that internet speeds will only get faster someday, and she couldn't wait for it to happen.
"Uuuughhh..." Callisto groaned, with Aurora - still a Kirlia, playing with some crayons, taking a quick glance.
"Krii?"
"It's nothing, just... complaining."
"Li-lia."
Load, the page eventually did. And visible upon the screen... a rather unusual PM, signed xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx. Callisto's heart skipped a beat for a second - that's one of the forum admins! Ack- she KNEW she shouldn't have posted that fic- but, no way to proceed other than biting the metaphorical bullet...
"SALUTATIONS!!! seeing as how thou art an active member of our community i would like 2 invite thee 2 The Royal Parley! srry that we didn't sendeth thou an invite earlier bt we were kinda reconfiguring the chat. our royal engineer hath fixed it so we should be good ^^ BUT EITHER WAY! rejoice, w1nged_freeshooter, as thou shalt finally be able to PARLEY WITH US! AND OTHER FORUM MEMBERS! THANKS TO THE WONDERS OF HIGH SPEED INTERNET!!!!!!!!
link here btw <3 hope 2 see u soon! pw is LVN4T!KR3D3Y35 btw.
- xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx
♤♡◇♧Queen Of The Underworld, Eliza - None Escape My Lunatic Red Eyes♧◇♡♤"
Callisto's heart rate dropped back to resting as soon as she read the second sentence. Aurora already came to sit right by her, latching onto the panicked-for-a-second girl to comfort her for that brief period. Callisto wrapped an arm around her, performing one of those awkward side hugs.
"Rii..?"
"I know, I'm fine, I just... thought I got banned for a second."
Aurora doesn't understand anything about the internet, of course, but she's always open to comfort Callisto whenever she feels - or in this case, felt troubled. She turned her head to the screen. Being a Pokémon, she doesn't couldn't read, of course, but there was alot of red on her screen...
"Rii-ya."
"That's just the text colour Eliza likes to use."
"Riiiii-ya."
"It's not a bad colour! I mean - I know red looks dangerous... to us all... but it's fine here!"
"Rrm."
Aurora nods, understanding, but a little suspicious. The colour disappeared from the screen soon afterwards as Callisto clicked the link. One quick installation of Silph Network Messenger later, she entered the invite and the password, and sooner or later..
W1nged_Freeshooter has joined the chatroom.
kyokuya: but no that's dumb. they'd catch them at the airport if they went n flew to unova
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: FREESHOOTER!!!! SALUTATIONS N WELCOME 2 OUR PARLAY!!!
kyokuya: oh shit it's really her. welcome!
omittedoddish: hey hey. sorry for the holdup.
...There's an unusual sense of gratification as the people took the time out of their day to greet her. It... makes her happy.
She responded.
W1nged_Freeshooter: hi hi! Glad to join you lot!
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: it is an honour 2 haveth thou here!! i'm trying to get celia 2 look but she responds not to my royal summons
AllyenosTheLamplighter: Eliza what part of do not disturb do you not get.
W1nged_Freeshooter: "Celia"?
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: AS UR QUEEN I HAVE THE RIGHT!!
AllyenosTheLamplighter: No you do not. Also, yes, that's me. Welcome! Should I call you by your screenname or any other name?
Huh. It's... honestly not something she thought about too much. But now that they mention it... maybe she could.
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: YES I DO!!
AllyenosTheLamplighter: Drag your ass ad your Pokémon down to Galar. If you want the right to annoy me you gotta earn it.
AllyenosTheLamplighter: and*
She... doesn't mind the name Callisto. It's a cool name after all, but... there's always some feeling missing when people call her that. A sense of self, a sense of... well, her owning that name.
omittedoddish: it has been 0 days since the last time Celia challenged Eliza to a battle
kyokuya: we're not usually like this i stt
And she'd explored. And she came with another name she likes. But she's never had the chance to extensively be called that, other than by herself. Maybe they could...
W1nged_Freeshooter: well, my name is Callisto, but I'd like it if you call me Calli!
AllyenosTheLamplighter: Ooh that's a sweet name. Both I mean.
W1nged_Freeshooter: thanks! i got it for my birthday! modified it myself though ^^
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: CALLI FROM THIS DAY FORWARD THOU ART MY ROYAL KNIGHT! NOW STRIKE DOWN THIS BUNGLER!!!
kyokuya: by truth give her a choice at least.
...you know, she does like it. There's... a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart. A sense of... "that's my name. It's definitely mine." A small smile curls from the side of her mouth.
"...Liii..."
...A warm, fuzzy feeling Aurora fell asleep feeling too, as well.
W1nged_Freeshooter: hey, hate to do this the moment i join but i'm a little sleepy so i'm gonna hop off for today.
AllyenosTheLamplighter: Gotcha. Rest well!
omittedoddish: ^^ have a good night!
kyokuya: you know, it's like 11 pm here i should sleep as well
xX_LuNaTiC_Qu33n_Xx: ASTRAL PROJECT INTO THE ENTRALINK CALLI AND KYOKUYA!! MAY YE HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S REST!!!!
kyokuya: what

Blink Camera Authentication Failed (Fixed)
Tumblr media
Blink Camera Authentication Failed? Blink cameras provide peace of mind by allowing users to monitor their property remotely. However, encountering authentication failed errors can be frustrating.  In this blog, we will explore the reasons behind authentication failed messages on Blink cameras and provide detailed solutions for two common scenarios: authentication failed during sign-in to the Blink account and authentication failed while accessing the live view of cameras.  For each scenario, we will provide step-by-step fixes to help you get your Blink camera working again.  We will also cover the steps to reset your Blink camera if the issue persists. Remember that if you are unable to resolve the problem, contacting Blink support should be your next step. What Does Authentication Failed Mean? Authentication failed means that your Blink camera was unable to verify your login credentials or establish a secure connection with the Blink server. In simpler terms, it signifies that the Blink server could not authenticate the identity of your Blink camera. Why Does My Blink Say Authentication Failed? The "Authentication Failed" error message on your Blink camera can occur due to various reasons: Incorrect login credentials  The most common reason for the "Authentication Failed" error message on Blink cameras is incorrect login credentials. Double-check that you are entering the correct username and password for your Blink account. Even minor typos or mistakes in your login credentials can result in authentication failed errors. Network connectivity issues  Blink cameras require a stable and reliable internet connection to communicate with the Blink server. If there are any network connectivity issues such as a weak or unstable internet connection, it can hinder the communication between your Blink camera and the Blink server, leading to authentication failures. Outdated firmware  Another common reason for the "Authentication Failed" error message on Blink cameras is outdated or corrupted firmware. Firmware is a software that controls the functionality of your Blink camera, and if it's outdated, it may cause authentication issues. Regularly updating your camera's firmware is essential to maintain optimal performance. Fixes for Blink Camera Authentication Failed While Signing in to Blink Account If you're encountering authentication failed errors while signing in to your Blink account, there are several steps you can take to resolve the issue. In this section, we'll explore the following fixes to help you regain access to your Blink camera: Verify login credentials The first step to resolving the authentication failed error is to verify that you are entering the correct login credentials for your Blink account. Even a small typo in the username or password can cause authentication issues.  To ensure that you are using the correct login credentials, double-check the spelling and case of your username and password. If you are unsure about your username or password, you can utilize the "Forgot Password" link on the Blink login page.  Click on the link and follow the instructions to reset your password. After resetting your password, try to log in to your Blink account again to see if the authentication failed error is resolved. Check network connection  If you are certain that your login credentials are correct, the next step is to check your Blink camera's network connection. Ensure that your camera is connected to a stable and reliable internet network. You can do this by checking the Wi-Fi signal strength and speed at your camera's location. If your Blink camera is not connected to the internet or the connection is unstable, it may cause authentication failed errors. Restarting your router or switching to a different network can help resolve network connectivity issues. To restart your router, turn it off for a few seconds and then turn it back on. Wait for a few minutes for the router to reboot and establish a stable internet connection.  Then, try to access your Blink camera again to see if the authentication failed error is resolved. Server status check If the above fixes do not work, it's possible that the Blink server is experiencing issues that are causing the authentication failed error.  You can visit the Downdetector or isitdownrightnow to check for any reported issues or scheduled maintenance that could be causing authentication failed errors. If there are reported issues or scheduled maintenance, you may need to wait until the issues are resolved to access your Blink camera.  However, if there are no reported issues, the above fixes should help resolve the authentication failed error. Turn Off VPN A VPN is a secure and encrypted connection that creates a private network over a public network, such as the internet.  VPNs are commonly used to protect your online privacy and security by hiding your IP address and encrypting your internet traffic. However, if you have a VPN enabled on your mobile device, it may interfere with the communication between your Blink camera and the Blink server, resulting in authentication failed errors.  In such cases, you need to turn off or remove the VPN on your mobile device to resolve the issue. Here are the steps to turn off or remove the VPN on your mobile device, depending on your operating system: Turn Off VPN on iOS Devices - Open the main Settings screen on your iOS device. - Tap on the VPN option. - If the VPN setting is on, tap the toggle to turn it off. Delete the VPN on iOS Devices - Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management on your iOS device. - Tap the information icon next to the VPN you want to delete. - Follow the app directions to delete the VPN. - You can also turn off VPN here next to Status. Turn Off VPN on Android Devices - Open your device's Settings app. - Tap on Network & internet > Advanced > VPN. - If you can't locate it, search for "VPN." If you still can't locate it, you can get help from your Android device manufacturer. - Next to the VPN that you want to disconnect, tap on Settings. - To disconnect, turn off that VPN. - To forget the network, tap on Forget. Once the VPN is disabled or removed on your mobile device, restart your Blink app to verify if the issue is resolved. If not, you may need to contact Blink customer support for further assistance. Reset Blink Camera If the authentication failed issue persists, you can try resetting your Blink camera: - Locate the reset button: On your Blink camera, find the small reset button usually located on the back or bottom of the device. - Press and hold the reset button: Using a paperclip or a similar tool, press and hold the reset button for about 30 seconds until the camera's LED light starts flashing. - Release the reset button: Once the LED light begins flashing, release the reset button. The camera will go through the reset process and return to its factory settings. Fixes for Blink Camera Authentication Failed While Accessing Live View If you're unable to access the live view of your Blink camera due to authentication failed errors, there are several steps you can take to resolve the issue. In this section, we'll explore the following fixes to help you get your Blink camera working again: Check network connection  If you are experiencing authentication failed errors while accessing the live view of your Blink camera, the first thing to check is your internet connectivity.  Ensure that your camera is connected to a stable and reliable internet network. You can do this by checking the Wi-Fi signal strength and speed at your camera's location. If your Blink camera is not connected to the internet or the connection is unstable, it may cause authentication failed errors.  Restarting your router or switching to a different network can help resolve network connectivity issues. To restart your router, turn it off for a few seconds and then turn it back on. Wait for a few minutes for the router to reboot and establish a stable internet connection. Restart your Blink camera  If your Blink camera is still not connecting to the network even after checking your internet connection, the next step is to restart your Blink camera.  Restarting your camera can help to refresh its settings and reestablish the connection with the Blink server.  To restart your Blink camera, you need to power off your camera by disconnecting its power source. Wait for a few seconds, then reconnect the power source to restart the camera.  After restarting the Blink camera, check if the "Authentication Failed" error message still persists. Update camera firmware  Outdated or corrupted firmware can cause authentication issues on your Blink camera. Regularly updating your camera's firmware is essential to maintain optimal performance.  To update your Blink camera's firmware, open the Blink app and navigate to Settings > Camera Settings > Camera Firmware Version. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to update your camera's firmware.  It is recommended to keep your Blink camera's firmware up-to-date to avoid any authentication issues in the future.  After updating the camera's firmware, check if the "Authentication Failed" error message is still appearing. Check battery level If your Blink camera's battery level is low, it may not be able to establish a stable connection with the Blink server, resulting in authentication failed errors. Ensure that your camera has sufficient battery power to operate. To check your Blink camera's battery level, follow these steps: - Open the Blink app and select the camera that is experiencing authentication failed errors. - Go to "Settings" and select "Camera Info." - Check the battery level percentage. If it's below 20%, replace or recharge the battery. Reset Blink Camera If the above fixes do not work, resetting your Blink camera to its factory settings may help resolve authentication failed errors. Resetting your camera will erase all settings and data, so ensure that you have backed up any important data before proceeding. To reset your Blink camera, follow these steps: - Press and hold the button on the back of your camera until the LED light turns off. - Wait for 30 seconds and then release the button. - Wait for the LED light to turn solid blue, indicating that the camera is in setup mode. - Follow the on-screen instructions in the Blink app to set up your camera again. Contact Blink Support If none of the above solutions work, it's recommended to contact Blink support for further assistance. They have the expertise to diagnose and resolve complex issues related to Blink cameras. FAQs Can I delete my Blink account and start over? Yes, you can delete your Blink account and start over by going to Settings > Manage Account > Delete Account. How do I get my Blink camera back online? To get your Blink camera back online, ensure that it is connected to a stable internet network and power source. Try restarting the camera and resetting the Wi-Fi connection if necessary. Why is my Blink camera not connecting for set up? Your Blink camera may not be connecting for setup due to weak or unstable network connections, incorrect login credentials, or outdated firmware. Check and resolve these issues to set up your Blink camera successfully. Conclusion Authentication failed errors on Blink cameras can be frustrating, but with the right fixes, you can quickly regain access to your camera. By verifying your login credentials, checking your internet connectivity, updating firmware, and checking the battery level, you can resolve most authentication failed errors. If the issue persists, resetting your camera or contacting Blink support may be necessary. Remember to back up any important data before resetting your camera, and don't hesitate to contact Blink support for further assistance. Read the full article
