Things of Note at @neil-gaiman ‘s NJPAC talk:
1. Do you people understand that he switches into accents when he reads? Do you people know he does a perfect Michael Sheen impression? did you know it’s also hot
2. He used to cold call publishers/mags to see if they’d publish his work. He’d lie when asked what other magazines he wrote for; they’d think he was more legitimate and would, therefore, be more likely to take him on themselves. “You couldn’t get away with that now” thanks to Google. Also, back then, “we had telephones and we used them,” but today’s publishers would not easily recover if you unexpectedly called them on the phone.
3. It was a personal point of pride for Neil to write for each of the magazines he’d claimed to have written for. He said “I didn’t lie. I was chronologically challenged.”
4. Neil made a deliberate effort to not be boxed in by publishers. He’d interviewed many authors who were unhappily boxed and did everything he could to avoid it, including declining big contracts from prestigious publishers (notably after American Gods). This is why he can write what he likes now. Comics writing spoiled him in this regard, as publishers mistook the medium for a genre, and therefore didn’t care what he wrote (so he wrote all the genres he wanted to in Sandman).
5. He hates Thomas Hardy thanks to being introduced to him in school. Regarding being forced to read Tess of the D’urbervilles, he said “I wouldn’t do that to a dog”. He hopes students, who might have liked him if they found him on their own, don’t encounter his work in school and hate him for it.
6. “The evil characters (you write) don’t possess you, you try to find the little bit of you in them….the little bit of you that is gloriously evil.”
7. “I touched the magic and passed it along” this was a line from Watching from the Shadows that especially moved me.
8. Terry was increasingly upset as the bidding on Good Omens increased (eventually reaching 150,000 - can’t remember if he said $ or £). For his part, when the book finally sold, Neil put on Iggy Pop’s Success and danced.
9. Anansi Boys should be out on Prime by the end of 2024!
10. Described Sandalphon as someone you want to “hit with a large oar”. (The woman next to me, who was extremely stingy with her applause, hooted like an owl at this and clapped til the last).
11. Pronounces Amazon as “Ama-zin” and Los Angeles as “Los Angelese”. This isn’t noteworthy, but I liked it enough to write it down.
12. “Being on a beach in bare feet” was the line that led Neil to realize David Tennant would be perfect for Crowley.
13. He is pictured on the ALA’s poster holding Wind in the Willows because, as a child, “it messed up my head.” He said he is “in love” with a chapter in the middle called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn where the characters meet Pan. It’s often left out of printings, which makes him sad because it is “strange, beautiful, luminous”.
14. TOATEOTL was originally planned to go to Broadway. Then, Covid. They did a “world tour” instead. Now that it’s wrapped, talks about Broadway are happening. He says all of adaptations of his work, this is his favorite.
15. “Disney’s Aladdin plays four times a day in Hell”
16. His favorite question of the night was “WHY did you think of the Other Mother?” He was tickled by the word choice of “why”
17. Asked the library in Sussex “What have you got in the way of really good horror for four year olds?” Obviously none existed so he wrote Coraline.
18. Talked about going viral for being in a falafel, seemed to marvel at the progression of the meme’s meaning.
19. “Tumblr is its own madness”
20. “Stephen King has fabulous stories about meeting fans in toilets, including being passed a book under the stall”
21. Read “The Day the Saucers Came” which I misheard initially as Sauces. Saucers is definitely better.
22. “You want to see me doing Dickens?” I laughed inappropriately at this. I was the only one.
23. I don’t want to say what pieces he read because I want you to buy tickets to his events. But it was very nice to be read to by Neil Gaiman.
It’s very worth it to go. I flew out from San Diego for this and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Chapter 229 Trivia (Part 1)
How can a chapter that is nothing but answers create so many questions?
Tumblr media
This is a very narrator-heavy chapter. All of the square word boxes (which is, frankly, most of them) are not directly the Medusa's words, but the narrator. This is also why the speech is normal.
If you're bored, reread the chapter but use Mecha Senku's voice for the narration.
Tumblr media
This is a silly statement because EM waves include so many types of wave: visible light, infrared, microwave, and of course radio. Even if you filter by regularity, I still think this is a huge number of planets (and stars!) to check.
Tumblr media
By narrowing it to radio waves, you lessen the number of false positives, but it won't be reduced to 0. We receive radio waves from other planets, but none indicate life. Most of our "alien broadcasts" come from pulsars, fast radio bursts, and whatever caused the Wow! signal.
Tumblr media
Radio waves from our planet have only reached about 100 light years away, which means the Medusas came from somewhere within the area.
It's a very big area.
Tumblr media
The birds are back and their identities are still unknown…
I won't go into details since I already wrote an essay, but now I'm wondering if they're actually a hybrid of two swallow species, which makes the Medusa DNA targeting questionable…
Tumblr media
The Medusa claims it was an arbitrary species, but it's suspiciously perfect that they chose a species that stays near humans and is nearly global rather than an almost-extinct beetle on some remote island, or something microscopic.
I suppose humans did have to find it…
Tumblr media
We have confirmation that the petri-beam did in fact use DNA-based targeting, but what's more is that the beam is only visible to the targets, rather than being invisible or on a wavelength the birds could see but the humans couldn't.
Tumblr media
The other point of interest is that the beam isn't light, but appears as light to the targets. What the "stuff" is that we see as light is still unknown. Does this mean the black mass on the moon is only visible to humans right now, or is it something else? Is the same mechanic that makes the Medusas invisible on radar responsible for this? Is that why no one saw any Medusas on the ground, because they were invisible to our eyes?
In a complete non-answer, we get that the petri-beam triggers an elemental phase change.
This is a fancy way of saying "turns you solid/to stone".
I wonder if we'll get more than this about how it works…
Tumblr media
This is some next-level YouTube prank.
Tumblr media
The narrator claims that the most intelligent species will recognize that the device grants eternal life, but Xeno seemed to be the only one in the world who noticed the statues were even still alive.
The Medusas sort of jumped the gun with the first petrification, haha!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This location is actually Manaus, specifically the Teatro Amazonas (Amazon Theatre) with the Rio Negro in the far background.
If you recognize the name, it's because it was the source of the petrification and the location of the big Medusa pile.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Advertisements! Several of these are meta references, as you've probably figured out.
Tumblr media
The usage of "easier" seems to imply that it would be possible to revive without nitric acid entirely, as long as the being thinks for long enough.
I wonder how long it'd take Senku and Xeno to revive without any acid at all; 5,000 years? 10,000? More?
Tumblr media
The Medusas seem to believe that the thinkers of the community would then have the skills & drive to want to live forever, and thus would help them.
They didn't account for Earth's biggest nerds to have access to things like "video games", "anime" and maybe even "a social life".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xeno was definitely the ideal candidate for the Medusas, but unfortunately for them, Senku got to him first.

Dad's 100th Birthday Part
Tumblr media
This is a few months late of a post, but my dad turned 100 (!) in June and we had a giant party for him, which was incredible. And in helping plan the party, I did what I normally do when I need ideas for something - I went to different bookstores to peruse ideas for things that would be helpful in planning such an event. But here’s the thing: there is no book on how to celebrate a 100th birthday. There are ideas for kids birthday parties, weddings, showers, retirements but absolutely nothing specifically for a 100th birthday celebration. So that being said, I wanted to do a post about some of the things that we came up since it was all so fun to plan.
Tip #1: do not try to fit three numbered, helium-filled balloons in the trunk of your car. They will not fit. I popped the “one” almost immediately and thankfully we were still in the parking lot of Party City so I could get a replacement.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Toronto Star front page from June 5, 1923
Since we were having the party at a hall, we decided to decorate the guest entrance area with posters on easels from my dad’s past, like the front page of the Toronto Star from the day he was born (thanks to my dear friend Adele for getting a copy for us). We also displayed photos of his Dale Carnegie classes and students, his RCAF officer photos and medals, as well as an enlarged poster print from a Campbell’s tomato soup ad that he posed for when he was a kid. He also received birthday letters from the mayor of Mississauga, the governor general of Canada, the prime minister of Canada and the king of England, which were all on display. (I have a theory that since King Charles’ coronation took place on May 6th and my dad’s birthday was June 5th, then this could easily be the king’s very first 100th birthday letter that he’s sent as King of England… which is wild.)
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Card luggage box
Dad insisted on cards only (no gifts), so I used this vintage luggage I bought years ago from the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show. The two red birds are from Michael’s and the lettering design was (perfectly) done by my sister-in-law Amanda with dollar store sticker letters, construction paper and twine.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: 100th birthday matchbooks
I got party favour matchbooks made through Zazzle that turned out great.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Decade cookies
I don’t know what else to call these other than the decade cookies because each sugar cookie had a photo from each decade of his life. And they turned out so perfect, I’m grateful that Sweet Star Bakeshop took on the project and could create these for the day.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Mom & Dad
The balloon arch was put together by my sister-in-law Cindy, my brother Robbie, my niece Tianna and her boyfriend Liam and it looked spectacular, especially as a backdrop for photos. Cindy also had the genius idea to create two kids-only tables with colouring and craft supplies. Honestly every event with kids should do this.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: The Heathers!
We bought flowers from the grocery store on the day of the event since that proved to be the cheapest/easiest route and we just brought vases from home for them. We got the “100” table decorations, the “100” banner and the guest book all from Amazon.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Birthday letter from King Charles
We had about 400 old photos shown on a slideshow that was displayed on a projection that played on a loop as well as a playlist of songs from the 40s-70s (no Beatles, he hates them). My brother Gary arranged to have some fado (a form of Portuguese singing) musicians play for a little bit since my Dad’s a big fan of it.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Dad & Mom with the cake
He insisted on using a sword to cut the cake (since that’s what the queen would’ve done) and somehow no one got hurt.
And finally we made gift bags that included some of the things that represent my dad: a bookmark (he loves to read), some UK chocolates (because of his English roots), an engraved 100th birthday pen, some wild flower seeds (ideally to be planted as a reminder of the party!) and a jar of homemade Stan jam (he loves strawberry jam) that my mom and I made.
Tumblr media
Above Photo: Stan jam!
It couldn’t have gone better and everyone had such a great time. Truly a once in a lifetime kind of day. And just incase you’re interested at all, here’s some more about my dad.
Stanley Heather was born in 1923 in Toronto, Ontario. When he was 18 years old, he joined the RCAF in 1941 and fought in WWII (Ranks Held: AC2 - R118904, ACI, LAC, ACT. CORP SGT., FLIGHT SGT., PILOT OFFICER - J94389, FLYING OFFICER). Throughout his life, he’s had five children and countless grandchildren, he’s worked as an accountant with Hyland Motors and Chrysler, he was a sponsor of Dale Carnegie and taught the five Carnegie courses in the West Indies for fifteen years, he was the Chamber Of Commerce Manager in Brampton, the General Manager of The Mississauga City Board Of Trade and currently still co-owns and operates the daycare supplies company Heather Child Care Essentials in Mississauga with his wife of forty years (and my mom), Hassina. He continues to travel the world with Hassina.
You can see a reel of the celebration over here, if you're interested.

I Read 60 Books This Year, Here Are My Top 5  
By Prachit Kanwar 
I started back in 2020 during covid –19 lockdown through eBook's when it was a big problem for me to read through my mobile screen and my English was also a big problem for me but now  I read whenever I can: When I wake up early morning, before I go to sleep, on the bus, and whenever I have a few hours to myself. This year, I managed to squeeze in 60 books from across many genres, from contemporary fiction to mystery novels to psychological thrillers and some of the books which got adapted in films in previous years. Here are my five favorites.

Then one summer it seems like he might have feelings for her too—but so does Jeremiah. As the summer seasons pass, Belly has to choose between two brothers who love her…and she’ll have to break one of their hearts.

But even as they lose loved ones, they take in a baby orphaned by the disease who becomes their single source of hope. Amidst the tragedy and challenges, they learn what they cannot live without—and what they are willing to do about it.As Bright as Heaven is the compelling story of a mother and her daughters who find themselves in a harsh world not of their making, which will either crush their resolve to survive or purify it.

~Witchy Haul~
Some things I gott the other dayyy......I went overboard but I'm happy sooo I guess my Bill's can wait....>_<
Tumblr media
Soooo before we startttt I am VERY new to the craft......also I live in a very Christian area so we dont have metaphysical shopssss. Everything I got is from Amazon, Walmart and/or Five Below. >_<
Tarot Cards!
Tumblr media
This is the 'Moden Witch Tarot Deck' by Lisa Sterle. I was so excited for them to come inn. I really like that the images are so inclusive. It's a good starter deck, or a deck for teens. The cardstock is very stiff so it makes shuffling kinda hard but I can tell they're going to last a long tiimmeee. The one down side is that the cards are too big for me to hold in my had comfortably but if you like big cards or you have big hads then its wont be a problem...>_<
Tumblr media
This is the 'Kawaii Tarot' deck by Diana Lopez. Its suppppeeerrr cutteee so pink I lovvveee itttt >_<. Its a BIG package with a big explanation book. The cards themselves are very small they fit right in my handdd. The images are sooo cute and very minimalistic. The color choice is also very calming. This would be the perfect beginner deck and a good deck to use for therapeutic reads. The only down fall is that the cards are separated into 2 cardboard boxes and they're hard to close and you have to separate that card to fit in both boxes (it takes a good 5 minutes to put them back each time). I wouldn't recommend this for beginners because it does have reversed card meaning, the meanings are in the book but o would recommend them to intermediate tarot readers.
Candles
Tumblr media
It's a little boring but I bought some tea candles, votive candles and 1 gray tapered candle. I got the tea light as a recommendation because they burn out really quickly so they are good for quick spells and protection for readings and medications but I really dont like them. They have a tendency to spill everywhere, I'm TOO clumsy for them!! The votive candles are my fave cuz they are bigger they last little longer and (if you put them in the right candle holder) they dont spill overrrr!! I realize that I could put my tea candles ina. Candle holder, however, the metal holder would still be an issue for me cuz I would feel bad throwing them away but what would I be able to use them for??? Maybe offering dishes??? I got the gray taper because I needed a black candle but they literally didnt have ANY at any of the places I went TT so I'll be on the hunt. I dont even have a proper candle holder for tapers so I won't be able to light it anytime soon >_<
Crystals?
Tumblr media
I got this pink Himalayan rock salt lamp and a crystal imitation incense holder. The lamp was only $5 and that why I got it but it's not what I expected. When I got it o didnt notice that it had been leaking so there was water damage on the box, which is fine because I'll just going to cross it but I should have paid more attention. The cord was also a USB which means I have to plug it into a computer or get my own cube which is a little sad. I use my phone charger's cube to make sure it turned on since it had water damage and it was all fine. It's a nice light not to bright but effective! The incense holder is not a real crystal (or at least I'm assuming because it was $4) either way is super pretty!!!
Books
Tumblr media
Two books!!! I'm so excited I LOVE books... I haven't read them yet but I will soooooon. The first one is 'An Introduction to Crystal Grids' by Karen Frazie and the next is 'Healing Crystals' by Karen Ryan. I got the crystal grids on Amazon. I got it because I am going to help my friends spiritually cleans their houses. Also just because crystals are a topic I'm not too familiar with and I need some info (also I love books and spending my money TT). The next book I got at 5 below jsut because they had it and it was witchy >_<
Tonics
Tumblr media
They're not really tonics bit I couldn't think of a good header.....Healing liquid was my next choice but it was kinda off putting.... I got Florida Water, Witch Hazel, cosmetic olive oil and rose oil a floral eye serum and floral perfume. The Florida Water is just to cleans things I buy at thrift store (like furniture) that is too big to cleanse with incense. It was actually my first time using Florida water, it was a surprising scent. I dont know what I exploit to smell like but it wasnt that..... I got the oils for many thingssss....firstly as part of my self care offerings for Aphrodite I've used it in ritual baths, in my hair, and on my facee. I want to use the olive oil to make annointed oil and to dress some deity candles I'm planning to make. The eye serum and roller perfume I got on a whim because they're pretty. If I dont like the scents they'll be used as offerings.
Incense
Tumblr media
Okkkkkay almost donnneee...... I got new incense!!! I usually get them from 5 below but they didnt have any good ones today. So I got Strawberry, Lotus and Dragon Blood 40 packs from Walmart. Thw silver container is also incense also from Walmart and its frankincense. Finally I got a new flower incense holder......the incense had a good smell, I didnt particularly like the lotus but it was fine. My brother said the frankincense smelled like weed, then he said it smelled like ham??? I liked it just fine though. The flower is super pretty and I LOVE it. It just makes a mess that I have to clean. I'm going to start putting some paper down to cut down on the cleaning.....I ahye cleaning.
Miscellaneous
Tumblr media
Last but not least I got Palo Santo, orange wax melts, and mini glass bottles. (Oof I put the witch Hazel in the tonic section TT). I got the Palo Santo at 5 below. I got it because it is what my ansc9used and what I would have been taught to use if my family practiced Brujería still, so I want to use it to teach the future generations of my family so we no longer have to hide in the shadows to practice. The wax melts are so test if I can replace them with candles. I'm sooo clumsy I am surprised I haven't started a fire yet so I need an alternative....the mini glass bottles were a gift from my mother. She needed them for a project but bought them to small. They're the perfect size for spells!!!
THE END
That was longgggggg. It was my first time writing a haul and it was kind fun. I wrote it all on my phone tho and now I dizzzyyy >_< . I have some things planned out and jsut waiting for me to write themmmm. I borrow my mother computer for my own sanity because my eyes hurt!!! Anyways thanks for reading!!!! >_<

Cross Timbers

Dean Winchester x Donna Hanscum, Sam Winchester x Jody Mills, no warnings, G-rated
Chapter 1 - 1830 words
A/N: This story was just a passing idea until I brought it up in my Slack chat and got a ton of great ideas from the folks there! Friends, I hope I have remembered everyone’s ideas and done them justice. Thanks for this and everything else! 
@boondoctorwho​ , @cherry3point14​, @cracksinthewalls​, @dawnie1988​ @fookinghelljensensthighs​ , @icemankazansky​, @itmighthavebeenintentional​ , @justcallmeasmodeus​ , @lastactiontricia​ ,  @mskathywriteswords​ , @rockhoochie​ ,  @there-must-be-a-lock​ , @thoughtslikeaminefield​ 
_/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
"You ready Sam? Ladies?" Dean asked.
"Oh yah, you betcha!" Donna exclaimed, swatting his ass playfully as she walked around Baby to hop in the passenger side. 
Sam was already in his SUV, Jody by his side. He gave his brother a broad wave.
"Cross Timbers State Park. Here we come!"
_/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
It had started one cold night earlier that year. The four of them were at Jody’s in Sioux Falls, relaxing with pizza and beers after a hunt. Sam couldn’t remember how they had gotten on the topic, maybe joking about making dinner in the fireplace.
Dean had begun to wax eloquent about the best parts of camping: cooking around a campfire, fishing, and of course, tent sex. Donna was nodding along eagerly before Sam scoffed. 
“That’s your favorite part of camping, Dean, really? The closest we’ve ever gotten to camping is sleeping in the Impala in a field somewhere when we didn’t have any place else to go.” 
Dean looked down and shrugged sadly. “Ok, so maybe I’ve never been camping. But it always sounded like fun.”
“Never been camping?!” Donna’s mouth dropped open. 
“Oh, boys,” Jody chimed in. “We have to fix this. There are so many great places we could go, either here or in Kansas.”
“We could show you such a good time!” Donna added with a giggle. “But not right now. It’s too cold right now to sleep any place but my own cozy bed.” 
It turned out that the bed in Jody’s guest room was cozy enough for Donna, especially once Dean joined her there. Sam didn’t mind, though, since he was in Jody’s own bed with her.
_/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
Sam and Dean had long since forgotten the camping conversation, but they soon discovered the ladies had not. In early April, the two of them began to hint in the group chat that the four of them should go camping. It took no time at all to realize it was less a suggestion and more a coordinated campaign to rope the Winchesters into camping. 
The ladies were pleasantly surprised when it didn’t take that much effort. Sam and Dean knew better than to argue with the combined power of Jody and Donna. They knew they were outsmarted in the camping department, but they were eager to learn, to try the experience. 
Jody and Donna had already determined that state park was the perfect camping spot. Remote enough to have plenty of trees, hiking trails, and water for canoeing or fishing, but still with a certain amount of running water and facilities for drinking and basic hygiene. 
Dean immediately appointed himself in charge of meal planning, because of course he was. Sam started researching camping equipment and gadgets, digging out back issues of magazines and shopping on Amazon. The group chat was busy for weeks while the four of them planned and prepped.
The ladies rolled into town and spent one night at the bunker so they could all shop and pack before heading out. It took a surprising amount of gear to go off-grid, tents and sleeping bags and more. Donna brought an air mattress, although Dean laughed and assured her they would be fine roughing it. They packed their clothes in canvas duffels: jeans and button downs, hiking boots and sandals, and of course, swimsuits.
Dean brought his guitar and fishing tackle. Sam brought a book, a notebook and new pens, as well as several boxes of unidentified tubes and pipes. 
“So many years after college and still a nerd, huh, big guy?” Dean joked when he saw it. 
“I don’t get much time to do what I want, whatever I want,” Sam retorted. “I’m not sorry I’ll be reading in a hammock while you drink beer and dangle a line in the water and call that fishing.”
“Hey, at least if I’m successful, we have something to eat.” 
“Everyone finds their own happiness.” Donna interrupted with a grin. “You boys ready?” 
_/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
Cross Timbers State Park was about 4 hours away, and the afternoon sun was still warm and bright when they pulled up. They rented adjoining camping spots, patches of clear level ground amidst the towering trees. There was a firepit already set in an iron ring, and the first thing the Winchester brothers did was haul the two picnic tables to either side. 
After that, they took a moment to ward the site, putting salt and sigils on every corner to keep themselves safe. Once done, they returned to the picnic tables where Jody and Donna were setting out supplies. 
Dean, as head of meal planning, reminded everyone that dinner that night would be in Donna’s hands. She had requested a list of sandwich supplies. She went to one of her bags and pulled out a set of sandwich making irons.
“These good old irons will make the best Pudgie Pies you ever tasted!” she crowed. 
“Pudgie Pies?” Sam whispered to Dean.
“It’s sandwiches and a campfire, I’m in,” he answered out of one side of his mouth. 
The two Winchesters left the ladies prepping food while they headed to opposite sides of the joined campsites to set up their tents. Their initial research into tent dimensions had been shocking. So-called “two person” tents clearly didn’t take into account one of those people being well over 6 feet.
In the end, they bought a pair of tents, each of them marketed to sleep six. Each tent seemed to have almost enough room for a couple, their duffels, and the Thermarest sleeping pads that Jody brought.
Sam spent a few minutes studying the instructions and then laid out the interlocking frame poles and nylon tent body exactly as directed. He understood the directions, but even with his reach, he couldn’t quite do it himself. Without him asking, Jody stepped to his side.
“It’s easier together,” she said as she took the opposite corner of the tent. 
The tent rose between their hands, and they staked it down securely. He arranged the bedding, rolling out sleeping bags and pillows, then stacked their bags neatly against one corner of the front wall. 
The tent had a small awning over the door, a space for them to kick off their shoes. Jody had brought a sun-bleached rag rug that she laid out right there. It was no bunker, but for a temporary habitat, well, he had seen worse. Once he had everything staked down, he looked across the campsite. 
Dean’s tent was a tangle of nylon on the ground. He was holding poles in both hands and swearing, the instructions nowhere to be seen. 
Sam started to close the space between them. “Can I give you a hand?” he called.
“I don’t need a hand!” Dean shouted, before throwing down the poles. “I’m gonna go get … water!” He stormed off into the deepening twilight. 
Sam followed the same steps he had before, but once he had the ridgepole assembled and in the tent, he called for his brother.
“Dean, I need help.” No matter how much Dean protested that he could do things by himself, he would never dream of letting his younger brother down when he needed him. Together, the two Winchesters finished setting up the second tent. 
Just in time, because Donna called from beside the fire, “Oh boys! Time to make Pudgie Pies!” 
Packages of ham and turkey were open alongside a stack of American cheese and a loaf of bread. There was mayonnaise and mustard, pickles and tomatoes too, Donna demonstrated how to coat the irons with cooking spray before layering in the sandwich makings, while Jody stoked the fire. 
A couple of sandwiches were burned in the process, but ultimately, everyone had dinner. They opened beers from the cooler and settled into folding chairs around the fire and passed around a bag of potato chips. 
“Hey you know what this needs?” Dean spoke up. “Ghost stories!” 
Everyone nodded enthusiastically, so he gave it his best shot. He opted for a classic, the hook hand in the car door. Somehow he managed to fumble it, much to the bewilderment of his audience.
“Dude,” Sam cut in. “How can you be so bad at this? Our lives are a ghost story. You literally could’ve told me how you spent your Monday morning and it would’ve been scarier than that story was. 
Dean looked to Donna and Jody for support but they shook their heads as Sam continued.
“You want a horror story? How about you in the morning, no coffee, no bacon, no nothing.”
“No nothin’?” Donna chimed in. “Now that I’d like to see.” She held out her hand with a smirk, and Dean took it. 
The four of them were comfortable together, Dean and Donna, Sam and Jody. This was a rare moment of ease for them, no one worrying about anything, just enjoying one another. 
But camping was a new thing for the brothers, still a whole different experience. They let the fire burn down and then everyone brushed their teeth at the pump out in front of their campsites, downing meds with handfuls of the metallic water. 
Sam and Jody ducked together into their neatly organized tent, leaving their shoes outside on the rag rug under the awning. That night, just being together was enough. They held hands and whispered to one another until they drifted off to sleep.
Dean and Donna tumbled into their tent, kicking their shoes off as an afterthought. They were too tired for more than sleep. But sleep eluded them. Well, it eluded Dean. Donna settled in comfortably and drifted off. But he tossed and turned on the hard ground.
By Dean’s watch, it was past midnight when Donna woke up and nudged him. 
“Still awake?” 
“No, I’m fine. I just -- can’t sleep.” He hated to admit it. 
He was a hunter, after all. He had been to heaven and hell and back. Damned if he would be beaten by a thin foam sleeping pad. But the front seat of Baby was more comfortable than this sad excuse for a bed. 
Without speaking, Donna got up. Dean reached for her but she was too quick. He heard the door to Sam’s SUV open, and then a motor running. He drifted in and out of a drowsy sulk until he heard her voice calling him softly in the dark.
“Dean,” she called from the door of the tent trying to wrestle in a giant air mattress. He got up and helped her to bring it in, lifting their sleeping bags and pillow on top. 
“Really?” he asked, his voice rough from trying to sleep.
“Okay, sure, Princess,” she answered with a giggle. “It’s me that can’t rough it, not you.”

“Hush,” he told her as he settled down and held out one arm. She sighed happily and curled into his embrace. Finally, for the first time all night, Dean was comfortable. His eyes grew heavy, and he yawned. Then he fell asleep with Donna’s blonde curls against his face.

Are YOU THAT STUPID
I don’t remember how it was . Are YOU THAT STUPID to think that I would think a bunch of high school kids would be on the US Air Force team!!!!! Come on psychopath. Since the exploit of the former hero, they have been forbidden bottines cloutees femme to preach, except to their fellow-slaves, the property of the same owner; to have public funerals, unless a white person officiates; or to be taught to read and write. On a cushioned stool at his feet perched a plump pink lady. Navy s decorated Blue Angels will return to Earth for a special assignment. Some day he is going to go there, he is quite sure. Camp Marydale May 31 July 17. The electric power system, in my opinion, is at its max of capacity. In 1984, Cynthia established yet another artists' gallery and frame shop, the Benfield Gallery, on Jumpers Hole Road in Severna Park.. Her serjeant had to go find an axe before he could pull it open, hinges screaming, to reveal stone steps spiraling down into darkness..

6 Most Common Office Design Mistakes You’ll Want To Avoid
We all spend our major time in office spaces. And if the office space is not exciting or poorly designed it kills the enthusiasm totally. Exactly why we want to work in big brands like Google, Amazon etc, sure the pay out is primary attraction but what keeps us engaged is the ah-mazing work space and environment. We grow up fancing a very organized yet fun work space where we can evolve, grow, yet be ourself and think out of the box. When we carefully notice our workspaces/office really does offer so much more than our imagination.
Yet the reality lies in the fact that we are people with big dreams and bigger dreams start in small office spaces . We start from there our new beginnings our new ventures and all our hopes start from there, and since we are not that perfect ( considering we are not interior designers) we tend to make mistakes. To err is human..but let us understand what are the few most common office design mistakes that we want to avoid.
1.      Lighting
We all know it, poorly lit space can enhance and kill the look of it with an instant. To make a space look amplified all we need is proper lighting . White lights can make the room look very spacious and big wherein golden lights are not the right pick for your office . You want to create a super chic and work like atmosphere at office and hence going for something that accentuates your furniture and the vibe of your office is a must. For instance , you’re an online business firm that offers amazing apparels for women , you want your office to look very stylish and colorful that speaks for your brand, then a play of lights is what you’ll need. Not to go overboard and underboard too, all sounds too exciting, doesn’t it, would rather pick an expert do its business there. The right thing to do would be to pick for the best interior designer in Dubai, so that we can just present our demands and ideas and watch the magic happen.
2.      Insufficient Storage Space
Let us look into that file that was closed on 8th Dec 2008, oops, cannot, because we discarded it because of the space it was taking up, thankfully all the data is now in our drives than desks, but the drives are many right? And hard disk is needed for the same. So the need for space is consistent.  Why let poor interior designing keep us away from progressing further? Choosing the top interior designer is the key to breakthrough from this.
3.      Outdated furniture
Looking out to pep up your office but within a budget choose only the best commercial design company in UAE, not only are they the best interior designers, they deliver exactly what is needed from  them. You just need to paint a picture for them and they will bring it out to reality for you. Choosing the right furniture is as critical as choosing the right clothes. It speaks for you and tells a beautiful story. Why not hear a classy one from people?
4.      Open Plan Office
While starting with a small startup generally most of us miss out on the detailing of the office, sometimes very crucial detailing. There must always be a separate boundary for the owner of the organisation and its employees, as there are many confidential meetings that one may not want to showcase in front of anyone other than ownself. Hence privacy is everything, neglecting this is a big no no. A leading interior designer company should be consulted before structuring any interior décor/space detailing.
5.      Overlooked Reception and Break Room Areas
One of the biggest mistake that an organisation can make is overlooking its reception area and / or its break room areas. One must never compromise on this. The reception is the outlook of the organisation, it reflects exactly what are the standards of the organisation, more like it speaks first impression is the last impression.  Hence neglecting it is a big no – no. Coming over to the break room areas is a big major, it is so because the major attraction for any employee is a break room area and the better it is the higher chances for your employee to continue their association with your organisation . Hence invest wisely.
6.      Personal Lockers for your employees
Many organisations over look this and don’t find this of any value, but it is essential for organisations to have a dedicated space for employees to store their stuff. It is as essential as having a lunch room area. You don’t want to enter your office and see work desks occupied with personal stuff, bulliten boards are fine but the office afterall should feel like a place you work in.
 To avoid all such hassle
fitouthubme
should be consulted so that they can deliver what they are best at while you deliver what you’re best with.

College Françoise Dupont’s talent show [4.1/5]
• 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 4.1 • 5 • 5.1 •
I put links on Mari, Chlo and Kami's clothes because I suck in description. It has a link to the ring too.
@ozmav @maribat-archive
The big night had come.
Nervous, Damian had been sitting on the Dupain-Cheng's couch since arriving with his family.
The whole Wayne family inside the little house waiting for Marinette to finish getting ready with Chloe's help.
He already felt suffocated even though everyone was scattered around the house.
Bruce talked quietly with Tom, Sabine and Alfred looking at old family albums (Dupain-Cheng), Jason and Tim playing Mecha Strike, Dick with Kori on the couch with Damian, trying to calm down the brunette.
“Damian, calm down, man. I know how you are feeling right now, really, I've been through this. Trust me, everything will be perfect. She'll say yes.” He puts his hand on his shoulder in comfort. “There's no way Minette can refuse. That girl is crazy about you and you know it.”
"Surprisingly. For a while I thought she had a screw less." Kori adds solemnly.
"Kori..." Dick scolds.
But Damian ignored them both, as the hatch in Marinette's bedroom opened softly and Chloe came down, in a long, tight transparent dress with sapphire blue details all along (which looked like lace), a small belt of the same color to accentuate the slim waist.
Her hair was tied in a high, princess-style bun and the makeup on her face was minimal, the only highlight being the black cat eyeliner.
Damian couldn't see her feet from the dress, but he was sure she wore a heel of at least four inches.
He gets up quickly from the couch.
“Go Wayne, Tikkie is distracting her. This is your chance.” She says as he reaches the bottom of the stairs, “Don't ruin things. Remember: Kami will be on the neighboring roof on the left, ready for when it's time.”
“Okay.” And he climbs the stairs quickly, barely hearing the others wishing for luck.
He passed Marinette's room, which was practically empty, not sparing a second and up the stairs leading to the bed, then up the hatch.
The sight that greeted him as he climbed up was breathtaking.
The balcony was decorated with fairy lights, the vines with blooming roses, and the clear sky, sprinkled with stars.
Marinette never lived up to the nickname angel as much as she did that night.
She was divine in a sapphire blue dress (she, Chloe and Kagami would go with the pieces she had made for her debut) of lightweight fabric (which resembled Diana's suit and the Amazon or Greek gods), her legs naked every time she moved and the top with a triangular neckline supported by a kind of belt decorated with beads, two or three shades darker than the dress.
To complement the Greek theme, she wore blue lace-up heels.
Her hair (which had grown so long it almost reached her waist) was shaped into loose curls, framing her small face. A thin golden tiara in the middle of the head.
Her makeup was a little more flashy than Chloe's. In addition to the baby blue cat eyeliner around the eyes, there was a dark cherry tone to her lips. Highlighting them.
Damian felt his mouth dry.
“Look at the time! I have to… go, Chloe is calling me!” Tikki before disappearing downstairs.
"What-Tikki!" Marinette called. She mouthed to say something more, but stopped when she noticed Damian.
“You look stunning, Marinette. Wonderful.” He says coming out of his stupor, but still frozen in place.
"You look wonderful too, Dami." She approaches, the lights making her more surreal. "I still think Chloe exaggerated a little..."
Damian finally moves, catching her halfway. His hands automatically reaching her face, stroking softly.
“So… are you going to tell me why our friends and parents have been weird lately? Something tells me you know why.” She says quietly, her face slightly tilted so she can look him in the eye. Despite her high heels, she barely reached his nose.
He placed a small kiss on her forehead before pulling back and kissing her on the lips quickly.
“Marinette, Angel. When I met you, I didn't think we could get to where we are now. Meet you, meet Ladybug, your parents, your friends... It was the best thing that ever happened in my life.” He says softly “In two years together, we had so many good, amazing, bad, worrying moments… But nothing managed to shake what we have. I'm here, I still love you, maybe even more than in the beginning and I intend to have you with me until I can no longer. I want to be by your side always. Be fighting crime or just deciding whether to eat pizza or dine out, then-” Marinette, who smiled sweetly, widened her eyes as Damian knelt before her.
“Damian what-” she choked out as he pulled a small black velvet box out of his jacket pocket.
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng, would you give me the honor of becoming my wife?" He opened the small box showing the ring.
The ring was a pink gold, a larger diamond in the center and four smaller ones around. Marinette was in love.
“Dami! My God! Damian!” She sobbed “Of course! I do! I love you so much!!” And pulled the brunette to kiss the life out of him.
"I can't believe it... God, I love you." she says as she steps back.
“I love you too, Angel. You're my life.” He whispered. “Here, give me your right hand.”
She pulled back and reached out, her manicured nails painted in a nude tone, her heart beating so fast and hard that she could feel the pulse of blood in her ears.
Damian slid until the ring fit comfortably on the finger.
Marinette admired the ring, still not believing. She was engaged. Bride of the person she loved. She didn't know she could be any happier. Damian pulled her back in a kiss.
“Sabine, she accepted! They are kissing now! Ahh my little girl is getting married!” The two are startled by Tom's loud voice and turned in time to see Sabine pulling her husband back to Marinette's room. Tikki in his head with a dreamy smile.
The movement on the roof of the house also caught their attention.
“DAD?” Damian calls incredulously. “Tim? Wait- Why is everyone on the roof? Even Kori!” Noting that his father was not alone.
Marinette starts laughing when Bruce nods in approval and disappears into the shadows taking the four (Tim, Jason, Dick and Kori) with him.
Tsukuyomi on the next roof, also leaves leaving the two alone.
"... So I think I'll need help getting down with those heels and the dress." Marinette says breaking the moment "I may not be the clumsy 13-year-old, but I don't want to test my luck."
Damian smiles mischievously before scooping her up.
"Lucky for you I came prepared." And he jumped with her toward the limo parked in front of the bakery.
“Damian!!!”
••••••
Lila was absolutely furious. If Hawkmoth was still active, she would have been akumatized at least four times.
She still couldn't believe Adrien had the courage to reject and push her in front of everyone. In front of Dupain-Cheng.
The mayor's daughter's despicable laugh still echoing in her ears and the class's incredulous expression glued to her eyes.
She had arrived early at the theater to avoid any questioning of the idiots. She was also hiding in one of the entrance pillars watching the doors trying to catch any glimpse of Adrien.
There were few people, but the situation was changing ever closer to the school schedule.
Last night she had a plan to get the blonde to apologize for what he had done in front of everyone, thus clearing her path with the class. And if by chance the plan resulted in everyone pitying her and forcing both of them together (perhaps breaking the baker's daughter's heart) she would not complain.
Lila had dressed to impress. A long orange chiffon dress with lace at the hem and sleeves, black heels and striking makeup. Her hair was loose.
She wanted highlight and attention. She wanted Adrien at her feet. She wanted the meticcia humiliation.
So she waited.
The first person of the class to arrive was Alix with her family. Lila wrinkled her nose at the girl's ridiculous outfit.
Who would go to an event at a prestigious venue wearing denim shorts and Jagged t-shirt?
The others were arriving not long after. No one at Alix level, but not as neat as Lila. This until Adrien appears.
The lobby was crowded with students, family, and guests, but she was still able to see him enter. His bodyguard right behind.
Even wearing a simple button-down shirt, dress pants, and polished black shoes, he could still stand out from the crowd.
Lila almost ran from her hiding place to reach him, but stopped when she saw Alya and Nino pull the blonde to talk in a far corner. Their parents and brothers right behind with the bodyguard.
"Shit."
Now she would have to wait until the last second and make a triumphant entry.
••••••
Ms. Bustier's class had found a way to meet among so many people.
The conversation went well, but a tense mood hung over them. No one brave enough to go after Adrien asking what had happened onstage the night before. No one had seen Lila yet and everyone wondered if she would still show up after the embarrassment.
All calm until it was not.
The people closest to the entrance were in a frenzy. The barely muffled whispers, some pointing, others shocked. Everyone moving closer to the doors to see whatever it was.
The class looked at each other confused trying to understand what was going on.
Kim and Ivan, the tallest in the class, followed by Adrien, tiptoed up to see the reason for the confusion, but unfortunately failed to get a good look.
Alya, who could never keep her curiosity in check, patted Kim on the shoulder to get his attention.
“Get me up. So I see and say what's going on.” She says “We won't be able to get through this crowd or see from here. ”
“Okay, I'll give you a boost and you sit on my shoulders.” He replies.
"Be careful, Aly!" Ms. Cesárie asks.
“I'm always careful, Mom!” And there was a general roll of eyes. “Now let me see wha- MY GOD THAT'S BRUCE WAYNE?!” She shouts.
Alix gives a shaken jump. “Bruce Wayne? Like Bruce Wayne? The tech mogul? This Bruce Wayne?”
"Of course! Is there another Bruce Wayne that I don't know?” Alya snapped angrily “Wait... Is that in Bruce Wayne's arms--- MARINETTE!?” She almost falls off Kim's shoulders in shock, but the boy is quick to hold her.
“Marinette?” Lila says, appearing out of nowhere beside Adrien who was still as confused as the class.
Max looks at the frowning newcomer "Why are you so..." he rethinks the word. “Dressed?” Lila might be the best girl in the world, but he couldn't help noticing that she dressed very badly. Very tacky.
She looks at him, eyebrow raised, not even trying the innocent facade, but looks back at Ladyblogger for an answer.
“Oh my god, it's true! It's Bruce Wayne with Marinette.” Alix exclaims sitting on Ivan's shoulders. “Man, I didn't know Mari was so hot.” She whistles in appreciation.
“Alix!” Rose, Nino, Adrien and Nathaniel exclaim in horror.
"What? It's true!” She replies “You should see this! Let’s go! Put me down, Ivan! We will open the Red Sea.”
The boy did as she asked, Alya who was still frozen on Kim's shoulders was poked by Nino. “Aly, let's go. Alix will try to get us there.”
She gets scared but goes down numb.
This was not the Marinette she knew.
"OK! There we go.” Alix says “Sorry! Oops It was bad!” As she pushed people out of the way, the class right behind her.
Lila and Adrien also following the rest. One out of curiosity and one... Well, Lila didn't know what else she was feeling right now except hatred and contempt.
"... And we arrived!" The girl says, her cheeks pink with the effort.
"Oh my god!" They gasp as they understand Alya's shock. And we are not talking about Bruce Wayne. By the way, it was really him.
No. The disbelief had a first and last name. Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
“Marinette…?” Adrien called, not believing his eyes.
And she, who was talking to Bruce, turned in surprise for the class. Her eyes firmed only briefly at Adrien, before turning to another person entering the hall.
He was a tall man, black-haired, well built, dressed in a black suit from head to toe, the suit obviously designer. Short hair combed and styled to the side. Green and cold eyes. His hands automatically going to Dupain-Cheng's waist as if it were normal and routine between them.
The class seemed even more surprised.
“Dad, Jason is trying to kill Tim and Dick in the car.” His voice coming out cold. “Angel, your parents were kidnapped by Jagged. Something about a tour.” Adrien notices the change in tone as he talks to the girl, the way his eyes soften and the corner of his lips curves slightly.
Bruce Wayne also seems to notice the change in behavior because he says nothing before leaving to solve the said problem.
“Is Jagged here? He didn't even warn me he was coming.” Marinette says ignoring the eyes poking holes in her head.
“It was supposed to be a surprise. I forgot-"
“Of course he forgot. That wasn't because he wanted to see you freaking out.” Kagami, who was arriving with Chloe in tow, says sarcastically. "Hello Damian, Mari." She nods.
The brunette wore an all-black suit, gold trim at the edges and sides. The jacket fully open at the front, closed just enough to cover the breasts. Her hair was artfully styled in a mess and there was a ruby lipstick on her lips.
“Kami!” Marinette jumped toward the girl. “I missed you today. Chloe used me like a doll all day. ”
“I've been busy getting everything ready.” She responds “By the way, congratulations. To both.” She adds.
"Thanks," Damian replies simply.
“Where, let me see this diamond!” Chloe pulls the brunette's hand evaluating the ring. “Wow, I didn't think Wayne would have good eyes for jewelry. Good choice.” She winks at Damian and releases the brunette's hand.
“I think it was exaggerated. It's beautiful, I loved it, but if it was a little less flashy…” Marinette doesn't finish, but the others understand what she means.
“Only the best for you, Angel.” Damian caresses her hand, then bends to kiss the ring.
Bruce returns with four other people, three men and one woman. The eldest of the three immediately jumped up to Marinette excitedly.
“What did you think of the ring, Minette?” He asks. “Damian was so concerned about not getting the proper engagement ring. You had to see it! All red and boring. He looked eleven years old again.”
What? Who were those people? Why did Marinette, Kagami and Chloe know them? And the guy who would not let go of Marinette? And Minette? Wait. Engagement Ring?
“MARINETTE GOING TO MARRY?!” Rose screams.
And the group finally looks at the class, noticing them. In Marinette's case, seeming to remember that they were there.
"Wait! Who is this guy, Marinette?! Why did I never knew you were dating someone?!" Alya sputters possessed.
Damian, already annoyed by the ladyblogger, pulls Marinette close to his family and stands in front, staring directly and coldly at the class.
"And who are you?"
“II am Ma-marinette's best friend! Alya!” She fumbles at the words.
Damian smiles humorlessly “Oh really? Interesting.” He says “Marinette and I have been together for two years and I've never heard of any Alya.”
Alya seemed to have been slapped at his words and shut up quickly, with nothing to talk about.
"You never answered the question." Lila says, taking the lead in the group. Damian raised an eyebrow in question, "Who are you?"
“Me?” His smile turns sour. “I'm Damian Wayne, fiancé of Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the one who won't think twice about crushing you if you try anything else against her… Lila Aloisi Rossi.”

Scripted - Choi Chanhee
Summary: Chanhee and Y/N never expected their soulmates to be foreigners, but neither of them were against the idea. It would open a window of opportunity for adventures that they couldn’t dream of as teenagers.

Genre/Warnings: soulmate au, college au, foreigner au, fluff, angst if you squint
Words: 2.4k

---
    Chanhee was peeved. The elegant script on his wrist didn't remotely resemble the harsh lines of Korean characters, rather the curly and exaggerated letters of the English language. How could fate be so cruel, to match two people who may not ever meet? It was a tragedy. But what really made him upset was that he couldn’t even read his soulmate’s name.
On the other hand, Y/N was very excited when the ink appeared on her wrist. All of her friends were complaining about how basic and common the names of their soulmates were, narrowing their chances of finding the right person. But not this young girl, no, her soulmate wasn’t a James or a William. He was exotic, someone who’s name that she’d have to study to be able to learn; and she loved the challenge. 
Chanhee’s soulmate’s name had made itself known when he’d turned sixteen, almost dead center of his high school career. At this point, he’d completed his required language credits with two semesters of Japanese, and it seemed that he’d have to sacrifice his extra choir classes for English ones. It’s not that Chanhee was off-put by the fact his soulmate was different, he was actually quite excited. He just believed that the romance may have been doomed before it had even begun because of the distance. There were too many ‘what if’s’ to factor in, and it made Chanhee’s heart hurt when he thought about it too much. All of the heartache was left behind when Chanhee was first able to utter the name on his wrist. 
Y/N L/N....
Y/N’s wrist had also been inked when she’d turned sixteen. Unlike the sprawling cursive that she’d seen adorn the wrists of her friends and family, Y/N’s wrist was characterized with dark lines and odd symbols that she couldn’t decipher. It was puzzling to say the least, but the scowl had quickly turned into a smile. Unlike Chanhee, she hadn’t fulfilled any language credits, leaving the challenge of learning Korean right open. It took her awhile to figure out that the language was indeed Korean, believing it to be Chinese first. But eventually the symbols matched to letters and the words all fell into place…
Choi Chanhee…
Both people were giddy with excitement, continuously mouthing the name of their soulmate over and over, ingraining it to memory. They threw themselves into studying the other’s language, losing sleep some nights just to perfect simple sentences. By the time Chanhee had graduated high school, there wasn’t a doubt in his mind about attending an English university. He applied all over the world, applications being sent out to America, Great Britain and even places in Asia that had good exchange student programs if going abroad failed. 
Unfortunately, Y/N had the same idea. She applied to every major university in South Korea, hoping to god she’d get in. She had other colleges in mind too; ones with good Korean History majors with exchange programs. The pair got their acceptance letters on the same day, shock written all over their faces. Out of every university, they each only got accepted to one choice; it had to have been fate.
Chanhee spent the summer studying English for his first semester at NYU, anxiously trying to master as much as the foreign language as he could. Y/N took summer classes at UCLA to brush up on her Korean, the acceptance letter to Seoul National University tacked to her cork board the moment it had come in. Both were anxious, hoping and praying that fate would give them a chance. To Y/N and Chanhee, the single acceptance letters meant a meeting, a one out of a hundred chances that they could be together. 
Chanhee’s bags were packed and loaded into his family’s car by 7:30 am that August day, his flight leaving at approximately 8:45 and headed to New York. The time difference was messing with Chanhee’s brain the deeper he thought about it; He would technically land at 10 am on August 7th, the same day he departed his home in South Korea, but yet almost fourteen hours ahead. Regardless, Chanhee found himself settled into a less than comfortable economy class seat on a plane that would hopefully take him to his soulmate. 
Y/N didn’t get any sleep on August 6th; there was honestly no point. She would have to leave her childhood home shortly after midnight to catch her 1:30 am flight to New York. There wasn’t a huge difference between Los Angeles and New York, her flight putting her in the state a little after 10 am. The flight wasn’t long, around five hours if she was lucky. The flight to South Korea that would follow would be hell; she didn’t know how on earth she’d be able to stand a fourteen hour flight. She’d have to count on lots of sleep. 
--- Y/N’s POV - 10:34 am ---
    JFK International Airport was just as big and noisy as I’d expected it to be. Too bad I had a headache and couldn’t appreciate the full beauty of New York City. Every corner I turned had people from different parts of the globe at it, their native languages adding to the endless chatter that bounced off the walls of the airport. I got to baggage claim a little bit after 10:30, spotting my mustard yellow suitcase from a mile away. My smaller plastic case covered in stickers ordered off of Amazon conveniently laid next to it. After successfully attaching the small box to my suitcase, I took off towards the shuttles, catching one before it had shut its doors. 
I took a seat and pulled up a map on my phone, trying to figure out where the seating area and terminal were for my next flight to South Korea. Sighing to myself when I saw they were on the opposite side of the airport, I shut my phone off and closed my eyes. So much for the idea of stopping for breakfast.
--- Chanhee’s POV - 10:42 ---
    Baggage claim had been a nightmare. I’d frozen at the sheer amount of English that I hadn’t heard which area his suitcase would be dropped off at. A business-looking woman had kindly told me in broken Korean as we exited the terminal. I thanked her profusely before running off in the opposite direction, following the many arrows and signs meant to direct me towards the baggage claim. In the end I found it with just enough time to claim my silver suitcase before it disappeared through the chute. I sighed with relief, the voice in my head had been dreading having to go to a help desk and attempt to explain the situation. 
The shuttle was practically empty of people heading to the main building of JFK International Airport. It was easier on me this way, I could read everything and fully absorb information without crowds of people getting in the way. As I exited the shuttle, luggage dragging across the ground behind me, my neck tingled slightly. It was like a breeze had come through and raised the hairs on the back of my neck. I couldn’t describe the feeling, it was overwhelming yet not in so many different ways. Unfortunately the moment was ruined by the ringing of my cell phone. I sighed and unlocked it, answering the call and putting the phone to my ear. 
--- Y/N’s POV - 10:49 am ---
    I ambled around the main expanse of the airport, looking for my terminal and any fast-food restaurant that could fulfill my stomach without making me miss my flight. I’d already passed through airport security, the process much quicker here than back home in LAX. I scanned the faces of so many people, trying to find one that looked friendly enough to go up to. If I could just find someone who might know where the Asian airlines were, I could save myself a trip to an Airport Help Desk that could take more time than I was willing to sacrifice. 
As I strutted along I caught the ending of a conversation in Korean. I listened for a moment to confirm I was indeed comprehending the language and turned to pinpoint the source of the conversation. About ten feet away stood a guy; He was taller than me, with a skinny and lanky body and thick brown hair that resembled a mullet if you squinted. He was speaking rapid Korean into his phone, pushing hair out of his face, his soulmate tattoo peeking out from under his sleeves. 
In a moment of desperation, I made my way over to him, hoping that he had indeed just come from Korea and would know which shuttle I could take to find my terminal. It really did seem silly, fully aware that I was choosing a person who’s language I was still learning over any other passerby who could comprehend my native tongue. But something in the back of my mind was urging me to go to him, to speak to him. I reached him just as he had seemingly hung up on the phone, his hand tucking the device back into his pocket.
“Excuse me, could you tell me where terminal T18 is?”
I spoke slowly, hoping that I’d gotten every pronunciation and word correct. He stared at me in stunned silence, his mouth gaped open. After a long pause, he regained his consciousness and responded in Korean.
“Maybe- try taking that shuttle over there. I’m pretty sure T18 was near where I came from.”
--- Third POV - 10:50 ---
   Chanhee honestly couldn’t believe that his first interaction in America would be in Korean. He was so ready to speak English, pushing all the doubts of his pronunciation and accent down. But here he was, speaking in his sharp Korean to a complete stranger, a foreigner no less. Though, he supposed, he was the foreigner now. 
The girl bowed briefly and thanked him, turned to re-grab her loaded down suitcase and head to the shuttle loading area. She was beautiful, Chanhee thought. Her piercing (e/c) eyes and her expertly tied up (h/c) hair. The light makeup she wore suited her, and the form-fitting leggings accented the muscles in her thighs and calves well. He didn’t mean to shamelessly check her out, but it was hard not to appreciate true beauty when he saw it.
In the split second the girl went to walk away his hand shot out and grabbed her forearm. Both of them were shocked to say the least; Chanhee’s thoughts were very muddled when he met her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Chanhee beat her to it in his best English.
“Where are you going?”
The girl seemed puzzled, and looked down at the grip he had on her arm. Chanhee immediately released her and stepped back, allowing the girl to take him in fully as well. 
Y/N was shocked when she felt the hand stop her from advancing forward, and even more shocked when the stranger asked her a basic question in heavily accented English. She was torn between talking to the very handsome stranger and getting to the terminal early. She examined the time on her watch, the digital face telling her it was 11 am before meeting the eyes of the man and responding.
“I’m going to South Korea, I’m attending college in Seoul.”
Chanhee seemed surprised by the answer, though he didn’t know what he was expecting coming from someone he happened to stumble across in the airport. He supposed that this meeting was a chance, a Korean-speaking American stopping and asking an English-speaking Korean for directions to her terminal. They thought made him pause then smile, wondering if this had been fate.
“What’s your name?” Chanhee asked quietly, the ghost of a smile on his lips and hope in his eyes.
“Y/N.” She responded, turning towards Chanhee questioningly, still not catching on to what was happening. “What’s yours? What brings you to New York?”
Happiness. Joy. Excitement. These were all the emotions coursing through Chanhee. Y/N, a face to the words scrawled on his wrist. There was no doubt in his mind that this was his soulmate; that this was his home. 
“My name is Chanhee, nice to meet you! I’m in America for college as well.”
The look of shock that crossed your face when you processed his words would stay in his mind forever. The way Y/N’s eyes sparkled with tears, and the way her lips curved upwards into a brilliant smile. The airport seemed to quiet around them, as if time was frozen in this moment just for them.
Y/N was shocked; She didn’t think that this chance meeting would be the one to bring her and her soulmate together. She thought that meeting Chanhee would have occurred in a class or perhaps at a small coffee house near campus. Never in a million years was Y/N prepared to bump into Chanhee at JFK International Airport the day before she would start a new life in South Korea dedicated to finding him. 
The pair smiled at each other, taking in the sight before Y/N unexpectedly threw her arms around Chanhee, pulling him into a tight hug. After a moment of processing, Chanhee wrapped his arms around Y/N’s waist and laid his chin on her head, laughing at the gesture. They pulled back and stared into each other’s eyes just as reality cut back in.
“11:30 am flight to Seoul, South Korea at T18 is boarding, repeat, flight to Seoul at T18 is boarding now!”
Chanhee’s mind was frantic, whipping his head back down to search Y/N’s face. Surely she wouldn’t leave him this quickly after meeting? Then the thought occurred to him, that she would have to leave eventually. Her tuition and expenses must have already been paid for the year in Seoul, not to mention the plane ticket fee that would go to waste if she didn’t leave right this moment. His face grew somber, laying a hand on Y/N’s shoulder who seemed to be deep in thought.
“What are you all sad about? Did someone die?”
“You need to go, your flight is boarding...”
Y/N smiled, resting her own hand on top of Chanhee’s, “I’m not going anywhere for quite some time Chanhee.”

S01E01-02 - Children Of The Gods
I've had this idea to do “liveblogs” of the Stargate series for a while, and I suppose now that we've all got nothing but time on our hands, it's as good a time as any to actually do it.
Also, Amazon Prime is apparently cycling Stargate out of Prime Video, so now I have an excuse to finally buy the DVD sets like I've been meaning to do for ever since the show was actually on the air. Because screw Amazon for dropping the best sci-fi show ever made anyway.
(I already have season 1 on DVD, so there's no waiting.  Plus it means I can ignore any cliffhangers.)
Bored SFs playing poker in front of the gate.  I'd forgotten how ruthless about telling-absolutely-all-of-the-backstory these early episodes were.
Tumblr media
I think the DVD version is uncut, so I should have the full-length “reproductive organs on the inside” speech, but we'll see when the time comes.
Huh.  So Apophis does turn the gate off for a hot second here.  Which is a plus, considering if he walked backwards into a wormhole, the first...five or so seasons would be really boring.
Jaffa armor is bulletproof in this episode.
SF dudes running around the SGC.  Get used to that one, boys.  You'll be doing that for years.
General Hammond!
Tumblr media
That is a nice upward shot in the gateroom there.  Give everybody a chance to get used to the space.
The giant Ra statue thing in the title sequence is a throw-back to the movie, but I did like when they moved to a show-specific opening sequence.
“Get re-assed to NASA.  That's where all the action's gonna be.  Out there.”  Yeah, about that one, Jack…
The original Fringedweller's Guide, which I am shamelessly copying (now gone from the interwebs), once observed that this episode is kind of weird since Richard Dean Anderson looks nothing at all like Kurt Russell but Michael Shanks looks nearly exactly like Stargate!James Spader.  And…this is just as true now as it was then.
I feel like Hammond's duty ribbon patch gets bigger over the course of the series.
Oh man, Hammond is totally playing hardball with Jack on this first episode.
He just called Jack “Airman!”  Holy crap, that's super mean.  Damn.
I don't know why General Hammond is so upset at Jack tossing a Kleenex box through the gate. How many million dollars is the Air Force not putting on the line with box-of-Kleenex-v-MALP?  Frankly, it's very cost effective.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every last one of those SFs has an AR-15.  To a man.
(I think.)
Sam!  Sam, Sam, Sam!  My whole heart!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Other than Janet, Jacob, Paul Davis, and Caldwell.  But it's early days and for now there is only Sam.)
Oh, yes! We did get the whole speech.  I think this is the uncut version! Hell yeah.
I love this show, but Shau'ri really does get shoved in the fridge.
Jack and Kowalski in absolute awe of two brains just...grooving.
Tumblr media
When does Jaffa armor stop being bulletproof?  Because here we are on Abydos, and it clearly still is.
Now, I'll admit, Alexis Cruz has his appeal, but I think Apophis is going a bit far to call Skaara a “perfect specimen.”  …Well, after looking up some internet pictures, though, he's not far off these days.
So, by this point, we have already got all the major players for the first Big Arc on the board.  Jack, Carter, Daniel, Teal'c, Hammond, and Apophis have already had screen time.  Teal'c's intro was really sneaky, though, which is a nice touch.
Oh! The control room is directly opposite the gate.  I always thought it was up a level.  Huh.
Wait, why is Hammond so mad at Daniel there?  That's weird.
Oh man, some of these folks are killing it at the Game of Intense Hats.  The Jaffa aren't even making a serious effort here.
My gosh, I'd forgotten how fluffy Daniel's hair was in these early episodes.
Teal'c seems to have some kind of a strategy here, but I genuinely can't suss out what it is.
I know that part of this is Apophis being a dog, but if I had a giant, oozy pouch in my stomach, I would not be wearing a rave bikini.  Just sayin'.
Apophis' eye make-up is on point.  Gold shadow, winged liner, boy got eye game.
Tumblr media
“Feretti's conscious, sir!”  Literally everyone just ditches Hammond without so much as a by-your-leave.
Yes, definitely the uncut version.
Before it got shifted to mean the whole planet, Chulak was really a thriving metropolis here.
Poor Hammond.  He really has a hard time watching everybody go away and not knowing if they're gonna come back.
Teal'c very sneaky there, covering up the tau'ri symbol.  And then the SGC intentionally plasters it all over every damn thing they send to space.
That is the weirdest palanquin design I've ever seen.  Turn-over for the bearers must be super high.
“For this, you can stay at my place!”  That line always makes me giggle.
I think some of these shots from the Death Glider are recycled from the movie.
Klorel is a rude little ass.
Look-outs see bad guys coming.  Look-outs immediately stand up and make themselves more visible targets.
Daniel really cuts his dial-time in the coming episodes.
This is actually quite a tense scene with the running gun-battle retreat.
All of SG-1, standing heroically in front of the gate for the first time. Gets you right…here.
Tumblr media
For the record, I love the credits music.  I think I prefer it to the opening theme.
