182 Days of TPN - Day 98

Chapter 98: “Starting Sound”

I like how the first couple pages fake us out by thinking the enemy is about to attack Emma & everyone else when they actually end up raiding an dummy shelter. Very thankful to James for setting up so many empty ones because this keeps Peter’s men occupied for almost two years trying to find the right one.

Y’all know you can sleep in a bit longer since you’re not bound by the GF schedule anymore, right?? Old habits die hard I guess.

Props to Ray, Pepe and whomever else normally helps in the kitchen because that is definitely a lot of mouths to feed all at one time. Also love how intermingled the tables are between GF & GP children, like it doesn’t matter where they came from, they’re all one big family.

I adore seeing them adjust to the shelter life and all the different tasks the kids take on. I’m mighty fond of seeing Oliver wear the shelter jacket & turtleneck as well! Wish we got to see that look on him more often, same with Nigel without his usual hat. But there’s no way Paula could still be recovering a month and a half later! Hell, she’s shown sitting at the tables during breakfast just fine! Ahh whatever, still cute that Zack continues to check up on her. GP trio owns a special place in my heart.

With Dominic learning how to hunt from Yuugo, I guess it isn’t totally farfetched that season two had him pick up archery so quickly. I do remember that Rossi learns morse code eventually, but I was unaware he tries to learn some medical stuff alongside Theo? At least, I’m assuming that’s what going on considering Anna & Zack are there too.

Ah.. back during ch92 I wondered why the GF kids never picked up on Adam reciting Norman’s number when they returned to the shelter, but I guess the big guy just switched it up and started repeating Emma’s ID nonstop instead. Makes sense as to why Violet seems a bit confused about it, not because she doesn’t remember Emma’s number but if that’s the same number Adam was saying the whole time back at GP.

I haven’t looked for fics in a hot minute, but I remember there were always tons about RE in the shelter library and not enough (or any) about the secret room and I gotta wonder why. Clearly they’re down below often enough during the past seven days if that GV kid knows where they are.

Well, Sonya’s correct about the first part since it’s revealed earlier this chapter that Peter killed off a handful of supporters back in 2031. Also, love how one of the tiny, surprised faces kinda looks like the drawing Shirai typical uses.

Still a more complex way to locate the secret room than how season two had it be “hidden” behind a simple, very noticable door labeled “pen.”

I despise this man so damn much.. absolutely hate him and his stupid fingers tapping away endlessly. I still dunno if this is just a random thing he does or if it’s actually morse. Can’t confirm it with season two either since the anime did one thing right and cut him out.

Speaking of morse code, I love how Emma quickly hands the phone over to Ray once she recognizes it. Sure she’s skilled enough to decipher it, but hearing morse is much different than seeing it, and there’s no way she wants to miss a single detail after waiting a whole week to hear back from the supporters, so she tosses the phone to Ray since she believes he will catch everything more efficiently than she could. And he does.

Now, I may be a total idiot, but for the life of me, I can’t remember who this hooded person might be? With it currently being March 2046, it can’t be James since he died sometime around September 2031 (if ch73 is anything to go by) and it ain’t Norman since he’s still trapped at Lambda until 2047. Perhaps Peter missed a supporter hiding amongst the Ratri clan and this is some random person but I dunno. Oh, unless this is just Smee..? I mean, the cloak he’s wearing is pretty much the same one Norman uses later on, so he could easily acquire it when they’re both at Lambda. That could be it. Hopefully.

Favorite panel/moment:

I HAVE DEARLY MISSED MY BOY CHRIS!! (& yes I noticed Gillian’s tiny head pat to Thoma. See! I knew they would get along well!)

ok so hear me out...

This week has been...ASTOUNDING!

First of all we had exo's cb which i was surprised to see because ok i was hoping for it but not that damn early 😭😭😭BUT my ears have been blessed. What am i saying? Does exo ever disappoint? NOO or maybe it's just that i don't like crticizing bcz if i am in love with a grp i would go down the gates of hell.

AND

i watched MORE MOVIES!! YAY!! starting the week off with devdas, bro....i wont say i loved it or hated it. I was somewhere in the middle but it's srk so what cn i say?? THE COSTUMESS?? THE SET DESIGNS?? THE JEWELLERY?? omggg and the actresses?? Dude i have never seen an indian actress who isn't close to being a literal goddess, I think i do know about the first love interest. She's..OH YES SHE WAS IN PINK PANTHER! i just remembered it- and the songs and dialouges "LOVE IS THE SHADOW OF THE SOUL!!" 😭 indian movies are like musicals.

but some scenes were abrupt i mean how does tht candle not extuingishhh?? tht was kind of physics defying but hey they're trying to show the power of love. AND ONE MORE THING THE WAY THE FIRST LOVE INTEREST REMEMBERS THE AMT OF DAYS THEY'VE BEEN APART- PEAK OBSESSESION. However, ik this movie will hold a place in my heart. Srk was so emo in this-

then i watched shershah...it was based on a true story?....i cried, i wailed, i sobbed, my heart hurt, my chest ached and...it helped me see the movie from a broader perspective and not just the life of the mc. Like for soldiers, this is how their life is yk? and their families...as much as they're proud its equally heart-wrenching for them. AND THE MAIN LEADS GOT MARRIED?? at least we got them as a couple, hope they stay happy forever in along healthy relationship.

i also watched bajirao mastani and....what was tht movies?? OH aligarh one? so many different genres combined in a week. It was a rollercoaster for my emotions AND ATEEZ DIDNT MAKE IT ANY BETTER?? SEONGHWA RAPPER??? MINGI COWBOY??? SAN UNDERGROUND FIGHTER??? OH LORD-

the song has it's perks ok? it's not bad and its addicitve but at first i did think the ending was a bit messy, even the intro like i didnt even know when the song started, hwa gv me an attack BUT it was experimental ig idk? i hope we have another mv for either outlaw or this world bcz i cant live with the fact tht SUCH AMAZING SONGS WERE LEFT AND K-HOT CHILLI PEPPER GOT A MV??

the mv was dynamic tho. In concl. i liked it , didn't love it. It was def, not vocal heavy but more focused on the hiphop and rap element which is fine but...oh to hv the old ateez back. I would ascend if they released something like utopia or aurora again.

but yesss this has been my week in the entertainment section of life.(❁´◡`❁) and waiting for your works miss baeksyyy. Really dont be nervous. Idc if you take even 2 or more years to release it as long ik you're here and cmon i mean it's BAEKHVUNS WORKS ILL READ IT GODDAMIT EVEN IF U THINK ITS NOT GOOD BCZ U WROTE IT OFC U WOULD THINK ITS NOT GOOD but...its. going. to. be. my. holy. grail.

hello!!!

no bc that exo pre release had my ears thanking me to listen to it 😭😭 cannot wait for the comeback bc u know they will always deliver amazing albums !!!! no bc i would 100% go to hell for exo & shinee

AAAAAA U DID !!!!! AND DEVDAS??? 😩😩😩😩 he served such a disney prince vibe in it AND THE ACTRESSES ????? LORD HAVE MERCY THEY REALLY ATE GODDESSES A MISS UNIVERSE (yES THE PINK PANTHER LADY she’s so god damn stunning omg i cry every time i see her,, miss femme fatale) AND A DANCE LEGEND?? omg the dresses, the jewelry the emotion !!! they really are like musicals this one esp bc it was homage to shakespearean play!! i also do not know if u noticed this but

yeah shershaah, i also cried sobbed screamed and then doubled bc it was a true story 😭😭😭😭😭 the last scene where the music drops and the flashbacks happen and it’s his final rites and the actress runs in—

YESS THEY GOT MARRIED RECENTLY !!!!! and they did a version of a song from that movie but made it happier! ur right, in war no one wins,,, what got me was the soldier who hadn’t held his daughter since she was born and he was so excited to- and 😭😭 he 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

that bajirao mastani movie (the lead actors are actually married too fbwndhwj they met on a previous film by the same director who’s also the director of devdas) YEAAAAAAH cheating trope but so poetically done >>> YEAH AND ALIGARH BEING BASED ON A TRUE STORY SCREAMED CRIED HOW ARE PPL SO VILE

ATEEZ. MINGI RAPPER, SEONGHWA RAPPER??? SAN???? HONGJOONGS COCKY ASS ???? 😩😩 the song does have its perks,,,, when hongjoong says slow it down make it bouncy- that part especially! i think the only song i rly liked the was the world and outlaw,,, it also felt like the last albums’s dupe im sorry 😭😭😭 i just really wish ateez do r&b’s, pop’s edm’s, dance music… my wish is to have them get someone who chooses sm artists bsides like imagine ateez w songs like exo’s oasis,, rv’s i just, shinee’s body rhythm, or taemin’s heaven! or even nct’s magic carpet ride???? 😭😭😭 RIGHT I WOULD ACTUALLY BUY 15 ALBUMS IF THEY BRING SONGS LIKE TREASURE WHERE THEY HAD THEIR VOCALS AND ONE DREAM AND UTOPIA OUT LIKE THAT WAS THE PINNACLE OF ATZ 🤚🏻🤚🏻

the vocal yeaaaahh,,, it’s the reason i loved the exo song bc when i heard the vocals w nothing of auto tune or any sound editing,,, wow that was a breath of fresh air for me personally,,, raw vocals and a dream is what i wish kpop groups do like amaze us with your vocals GIVE US A MID SONG ACAPELLA??? oUu exo pls come back fast they need to show how it’s done

i hope ur week has been fun!!!! im so very nervous to post it like i have the teaser ready w all the tag list done and i just don’t have the courage anymore 😭😭😭 bUT I WILL POST IT this coming week somehow I AM HERE MY BRAIN WONT STOP WORKING UNTIL I LET ALL MY FICS OUT SO U DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABT THAT PART but thank u so much for sticking around really you’re so kind for those words <3333 thank u thank u so much 😭😭

NAME: daphne blake ADULT FACE (37): isla fisher TEEN FACE (17): madelaine petsch OCCUPATION: sleuth / journalist / tv show host SCHOOL TITLE: the princess

PAST

like her sisters before her && other relatives as well, daphne was another member of the blake clan to attend the truman high . having a long list of relatives with successful high school experiences && even better school records left the redhead with quite the amount of expectation on her shoulders --- && she never fell behind her sisters’ shadow . being a straight a student with a reputation that preceded her , daphne quickly became one of the most popular kids . those who weren’t familiar with her personality or grades had certainly heard of her last name , && those who hadn’t heard of probably familiar with mystery inc., a gang that consisted of the redhead plus her best friends , && their habit of solving mysteries around town . being a blake , it was clear from day one that she was now high school royalty , && that soon earned her the title of princess --- as well as the common knowledge of how daphne would definitely be the next prom queen !!

PRESENT

when daphne received the invitation for a long awaited high school reunion ( at least on her end ) , the redhead could barely contain her excitement . despite the multiple classes she had missed due to mystery solving habits && a few bad experiences , her teenage years were definitely something she took pride in , && the opportunity to see a few familiar faces again sounded incredibly nice --- except for one or two , of course . everything went smoothly at the event , && surprisingly enough , it even renewed her energy to go to work next day ; which she would have done , if it hadn’t been for the fact that daphne was now seventeen again .

CONNECTIONS:

dean winchester ( @tobeblamed ): friend / it’s complicated.

betty cooper ( @fatetempted ): school newspaper buddies

come at me hoomans !!

#bttsgv #btts tag.#･ﾟ* GV. ─ oh take me back to the start.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Broken item (Leona x Reader)

CW: angst/comfort kinda?

Characters: Leona, Ace, Deuce

You thought that today would be a normal day at Night Raven college, oh how wrong you where about that. As soon as you stepped foot into your first class you got called right to Crowlys office. You expected just to be saddled with another task.

“Hello Y/N!” He said all cheerily like always. “Sit, sit!”

You weren’t gonna decline a free seat so you sat down in the comfortable seat across from him. “What did you call me here for Headmage?”

“We got some very odd items! And I assume they belong to you?” He slid a few items toward you.

You examine each item and they did indeed belong to you! You have never been happier to see your ancient music player. It had all the music you loved on it and your headphones! You where behind ecstatic about this. “Thank you so much.” You quickly grab the items and put them in your backpack so you can carry them around.

“Of course! Now hurry before you’re late!” You nod and quickly rush to professor Crewels class even though you knew you wouldn’t make it. These items gVs you a new found confidence that you definitely didn’t have before.

You weren’t even upset that you where late but Professor Crewel was. He was extremely upset with you. You sat next to Ace and Deuce all giddy.

“Are you ok?” Ace asks, genuinely worried about about you.

“Oh I’m fine. Why?” You look at him with an eyebrow raised.

“You’re just...happier then usual.” Ace explains warily.

“Is that a bad thing?” You didn’t know if you should be offended by the fact that they’re concerned your happy or touched that they care.

“No! Absolutely not!” Deuce defended him and Ace loud enough to earn a glare from Crewel.

“Alright then shh.”

The next period you have a free period so you can find yourself wandering the botanical garden. You mostly came to listen to music without interruption.

“Herbivore?” You hear, muffled by the music in your headphones. You turn around and see Leona standing right in front of you.

“Oh hey Leona. Didn’t expect to see you here. Aren’t you supposed to be asleep?” You question.

“I was about to, then I heard the door open. Thought it was Ruggie with my next meal.”

You hide your player in your pocket causing a confused look from Leona, “Ok cool. I’m gonna go now.” You say awkwardly as you try to leave but he grabs you. Not tight enough to hurt you but with enough for to cause your back to crash into his chest.

“What’re you hiding from me herbivore?” He reaches into your pocket and takes our the music player. He immediately got confused. What was this strange device.

“Can I have that back?” He let go of you so you can examine the device.

“What is this?” You went to grab it but couldn’t because he held it out of your reach.

“It plays now give it back!” You jumped up to get, accidentally knocking it put of his hand. Which started him causing him to step back then you hear a crack. You felt your heart drop. You didn’t know why the player meant so much to you. Maybe because it was a reminder of your home.

“Shit.” He picks up his foot and sees the remainders of the player on the ground. Once he looks back at where you are you had already made it outside.

Leona knocked on the door nervously. Ruggie tried to help him try and tape the player back together. It looks like shit but he tried maybe it was the thought that counted.

Ace opened the door, “they’re not in the talking mood trust me I tried.”

“Can I at least try?” Leona was trying to stay polite but it was getting hard considering who opened the door.

“Fine, but I doubt you’ll get very far.” He walks back inside, leaving the door open for Leona.

He walks up the creaking stairs to your room, knocking a bit to aggressively.

“Ace! I told you to-” You made the door fly open only to see Leona standing there with uou player covered in clear tape.

“This is for you.” He sticks out the monstrosity but it meant a lot he tried to fix it; he usually didn’t try to do anything.

“Thanks,” you carefully grab it and set it on your bedside table. “You can come in, if you want.”

“Sure.” With that he walked inside and shut the door behind him.

⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑

I hope y’all enjoyed this I’m trying to write a bit longer then usual :) ALSO my requests are still open!! Just to remind.

After a short break for Gallavich Week, we’re back with the Writer’s Spotlight, this time bringing you an interview you won’t want to miss with the delightful Jackie ( @jackieq ) aka J_Q, author of dozens of Gallavich fics, including PikUp, Cubicle Wars, Paradise City and the Holding Out for A Hero series.

GT: Could you tell us a bit about yourself?

J: I'm...a college instructor, teaching technical writing, critical thinking, and public speaking.

I have two teenagers and one husband...and (poor @wehangout will be envious) we just got a puppy. She's a 9 week old terrier/shih tzu.

I live in western Canada and I've been in this fandom, my first ever fandom, for 4 years this month.

GT: Those sound like classes everyone should have. Picture of the puppy, please! Make us all jealous.

J: Yes, those are the classes that are mandatory for all the program areas. Students love me because I make them do lots of public speaking. (jokes)

That's Willow.

GR: Tell us a bit about your history with fanfiction. When did you first come across it and what fandom was it for?

J: I came across fanfiction for the first time after watching Shameless season 5 in early 2017. I honestly didn't even know it existed, and while Googling Gallavich stuff to soothe my soul, I happened upon a fic by 09cityskylights who I adore and miss. I basically started writing my own happy ending for them the moment I knew people did such things. ;0

GT: Did you start watching Shameless in 2017?

J: Yes, I watched episode one on Valentine's Day 2017 and binged that sucker...until season 5 when I put the brakes on to deal with what the hell just happened.

GT: Did you watch all seasons or skip ahead to the last ones?

J: Just the GV scenes after season 5 for the most part. I enjoyed the whole show but I just wasn't up to watching Ian with other guys at that point and didn't know when I might be forced to witness something I'd rather not. It was a fragile period of my life (this half in humor and half not). I'm still not quite sure what set this whole "shipping" business in motion...but I feel I could place a lot of blame on the club kiss!

GT: I'm right there with you, I stopped watching as well. And that kiss really was a game changer.

Who are your favorite characters aside from them?

J: Depends on the season. Seasons 1 and 2 it was Lip for sure...and wait for it...Debbie! Clearly my opinion has changed on that one. But Lip, while being a dick a lot, was just so cool. I literally adored the way he rode that bike around the SS following Frank. I miss Sheila and Mandy and who doesn't love Iggy...oh and now we'll add cousin Lou to the list (all 3 seconds of him). Really though, I miss those early seasons.

GT: Those were the best! And I'll always love Sheila.

Do you write about other characters as well or just Ian and Mickey?

J: The stories all center around Mickey and Ian, but I often/usually include other characters. I wrote an entire season 10 filler fic, so that required appearances by a lot of characters such as Ian's prison buddies and Larry, the parole officer. ;0

GT: What about OCs, do you include them as well?

J: OCs...Yes, since I've written 35 stories, several of them quite long, I've created many OCs. Sometimes just "walk-ons", but also key supporting characters. I've never written a multi-chap where Mickey doesn't have someone in his corner. For example, in Paradise City, it's his bodyguard; in Cubicle Wars, it's his partner; in PikUp, it's the other cab drivers. And now in Enemy Lines that I'm writing with stars_fall_on, we've given Ian a couple of buddies. So unlike Shameless, I believe the boys can actually make friends lol.

I actually remember the very first OC taking me by surprise. I was writing a scene where Mickey and Ian were in Panama looking for Lip and this young woman just waltzes into the scene, fully formed with a personality and a bit of backstory. She started talking and the scene moved the plot forward. It really felt like I did not participate in it other than to type.

GT: Do all your OCs come to life fully fleshed like that? What are they commonly based on?

J: Mostly they come to life like that. Slava is Mickey's partner in Cubicle Wars and he originally was based on Svetlana if she were a man; however, the moment he first appeared at Mickey's cubicle, Slava was way more playful and easy going than Svet would ever be so that was that. Right now, I'm drafting a scene for Enemy Lines with Mickey and an OC who had a very small part earlier in the story, but now she's got a long conversation with Mickey. My co-writer, Julia, and I know what we want the result of this scene to be, but we didn't really have a plan for how to get there. So I just started typing and let the character decide, so to speak. That used to freak me out though! But so far it always seems to work. I suppose that's what happens when writer's block kicks in. It doesn't come to you when you need it.

I also have a dozen one shots based on a world where Mickey and Ian raise Yev but in this world his conception was just an accident not a horrible experience. Anyway, the Yev I used is 100% my son. His obsession with order and dinosaurs. His mannerisms -- the way he shapes his fingers into long neck dinos who eat the food off his plate. <3

GT: I've never co-written a fic with anyone. How does that work?

J: For me, it starts with having a rapport with someone before the story-writing. I jive with them in conversation and then an idea shows up. Sometimes I've split the fic with the other writer -- I do a chapter/scene then they do a chapter/scene. Sometimes it's messier than that and we each write as the scenes take shape for us and we help to fill in missing spots. Sometimes we have a pretty clear outline to follow, and sometimes none at all. The most interesting collab was Coming Soon, which is 20 chapters/20 different writers and we NEVER had a plan so each chapter went wherever it went and you had one week to get your chapter done when it was your turn.

The most important "lesson" I guess, is that there is no way to do this kind of thing if your ego takes over or if you need your vision to be the final vision. But honestly, I've had no problems. I've enjoyed every collab I've been in (hopefully my co-writers can say the same!!).

GT: That's very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

In your opinion, what's the hardest thing when writing Gallavich fics?

J: Well at first, I hadn't read many fics so I was hesitant to write from either character's POV. Getting into their minds was intimidating in a way dialogue never was.

That's not a problem anymore. Now it's a matter of not straying too far into "touchy feely" type writing that to me doesn't feel authentic to the original characters, not that we are bound by that of course but I try to keep it consistent when I can.

GT: Do you have a preference for writing Ian or Mickey?

J: Not really no...I actually think it's the dynamic between the two that makes it interesting to write them. I've never even considered writing them separately. They're a package deal in my mind.

Mickey, however, can be a tad more fun since he's more colorful and you can take him to extremes that aren't as "charming" if Ian were to behave that way. ;0 Writing Ian often feels more familiar to me; his reactions and behavior are more universal in some ways so that makes it easier I think. Like he worries about basic things I worry about and he's more aware of outside opinions, more accommodating in that sense.

GT: What's the most fun thing about writing them?

J: Finishing a story lol. It's hard work before that! Well, I love writing dialogue between them, and I love how happy they make each other. Can't get enough of that!

GT: What kind of fics do you write the most?

J: I took a look and I've written 9 multi-chapters (some with a co-writer) and almost 30 one shots. There's some canon filler/fix-its, but many others are canon divergent or canon-ish. Even though my current co-fic, Enemy Lines, appears to be VERY angsty, I wouldn't say angst is my go to, but I do have some in almost every fic because that's generally where the plot thrives. I have several domestic one shots but my favorite genre is adventure/action. Jungle adventure with a Colombian cartel or security experts and a jewel heist...that kind of thing. I include sexy time but it's always a part of the overall plot. Probably what's most consistent through all the fics is humor. That's where I'm most comfortable.

Check out He's Married? It's just one big pile of humor.

GT: Gotta love a humorous fic! Where do you get inspiration from?

J: For the most part, I think of something --let's say asparagus lol-- and my next thought is Mickey and Ian and the many directions that combination could take us. There isn't ever a short supply of ideas, just a short supply of time to produce stories.

For specific scenes or characters though, a lot of that comes from real life. My husband and I have done our share of bickering. ;0 The rest comes from RESEARCH. I capped that because I do a lot of research. My daughter borrowed my phone last night and said "I love how my mother's last Google search was how to blow up a vehicle." Good thing she didn't borrow my phone after my "extreme restraints" search. ;0

GT: Oh, goodness! Wouldn't want that!

What does your writing process look like? Do you outline? Do you post as soon as the chapter is done or do you accumulate chapters before you start posting?

J: Maybe 70% of the time I have a basic outline, which consists of key moments that I use to ground the story. Sometimes it's those key moments that are the reason the story even happened. I see the scene then build outward from it, putting it into a universe. Sometimes I just have an opening or a job or a can of asparagus and need to see where it goes. Like I said, this used to be really scary but now not so much. (I actually do have hundreds of cans of asparagus as a plot device in Holding Out for a Hero ;0)

I definitely build up chapters before I start posting because I like to be able to post a story fast. Holding Out for a Hero I posted the whole thing at once. Cubicle Wars and PikUp, a chapter every day. Enemy Lines with Julia, the plan was three chapters a week. I've finished everything I started (Enemy Lines is at 46/50) except Panama Red which I started last year as one of your Gallavich Week entries. I was trying to post a one shot for each day but only managed 5/7. Panama Red was supposed to be a one shot but then I had more ideas and added a chapter but since then I've written two massively long, complicated multi-chapters so I haven't gotten back to it yet.

GT: You have no idea how happy it makes me to see people producing content due to Gallavich Week or the other events I host. This is what they're for, to encourage everyone to participate.

What's your favorite Gallavich fic that you’ve written so far and why?

J: I think about you all the time and all the hard work you put into giving us a common space and I love you for it.

I was just talking to Mary2 today about my favorite fic, Paradise City, because she is my Russian translator and it was the first fic she translated of mine. She likes the tone of the story, and perhaps that's one of the things I really like too. It's also set in the mid 70s through the 80s rock scene to the beginning of the grunge movement. I was a teenager when rock took a hit from the grunge bands. So for me, the music backdrop is wonderful.

Interestingly, it's also my least "popular" fic. It's based on a prompt to rework the Stacey Jaxx character in Rock of Ages into Mickey Jaxx, and I'd tried to get it posed for GV week 2018 but some longer stories need a hiatus before they can be finished so I didn't end up being able to post in time.

GT: What kind of comments do you most like to get?

J: Well definitely not the one Julia and I got last week calling us shit storytellers lololol. But ya know, I like 'em all. The quick little "loved this" to the long, thoughtful analysis. Bookjunkie once commented that she read my fics 80% for the fic and 20% for the comment section because I try to make it a conversational space. While it feels great to be told your work has touched someone or entertained them, I also just simply like chatting with fandom members. I don't really do any social media, so that's the space where I connect.

Recently, moonlight_inn [@ms-moonlight-inn ] and I wrote a tiny ficlet in the comment section of Enemy Lines. We did not know each other, but one comment let to another until we'd fully challenged each to keep it going until the story ended. Actually, there's a fic under my profile called Closest to a Kiss, and it was also something created in the comment section between me, nickrenkel, and RedStarFiction on one of RedStar's stories.

I've met all my best buddies in the comment section. (Right, Doddz? Holy shit that's one big snowman!)[inside joke]

GT: That's lovely. What are some of your favorite fics and/or writers in the fandom?

J: That's a tricky question! If I get started, then I will want to make sure I don't leave anyone out. There are so many writers I appreciate, each in their own way. When people ask for recommendations, I ask what their preferences are then suggest based on that because it's all so personal and changes with time.

I used to only read canon filler/fix it because that's what I needed while Mickey and Ian were separated. That's how I came across 09cityskylights, the first A03 writer I found. She wrote the Manifesto of Mickey Milkovich which followed him through his time in prison and across the border. That's some heavy angst there! But she also wrote Crush, which is as sweet and fluffy as it gets and I could live in that fic. She is also Canadian and I requested a scene of GV at Tim Horton's <3.

After the angsty canon spree, I discovered a treasure trove of one shots where Mickey was being treated so well. Classics like Floating by anomalously, Red Hands by romanticalgirl, and Lines by dragonspell to name a few.

By six months in, I was writing a lot so I've had to be picky about what I read, and for the most part since then, I only read what my friends post and I click on people who comment on my stories to see if I can return the love. I enjoy using the floating A03 comment box to leave long comments. (Thanks to @captainjowl for hooking me up with that timesaver.)[you can find that on this post]

I don't fully understand how popularity works on A03 but I've discovered so many damn good stories that fly under the radar that I actually prefer to give my time to those. You just never know when your comment might make all the difference. <3

GT: Ok, now I need to read about them at Timmy's.

I love the floating comment box! I'll see if I can find a link with instructions for those to leave it on the post. I sometimes even postpone reading a fic when I want to make sure to leave a long comment so I can read it on my computer instead of my phone.

AO3 popularity is a mystery to me as well.

What are your favorite tropes?

J: Same! It is nice to lay around with my phone reading but you can't leave a decent comment with a phone--or I can't anyway.

Canon related (divergent, filler, fix-it, etc) is still my favorite overall trope, but not necessary post s11 or maybe I just haven't gotten to that stage yet.

With canon-ish fics, it's the depth of their relationship I enjoy. With other fics, it's the new discovery of each other that's delightful.

I like some angst with a happy ending. I love action, adventure, hero-y type stuff. Humor is great in whatever form it takes. Historically based stories are good too. Domestic fics are good if they are examining how damn hard life can be with a significant other/kids.

I think it's more about writing style than about an specific trope as I'll read most tropes aside from ABO, mpreg or those types of things my brain can't wrap itself around. lol

GT: What are your favorite season and episode of Shameless?

J: The scene in the pilot where the Gallagher kids are pitching in to pay the electrical bill and the scene where Fiona walks in on chaos and yells" Ian, what the fuck?" are my favorite Shameless scenes. Season 4 has the overall best GV scenes. My favorite scene of all is Sorry, I'm Late (although bathroom sing-a-long is now up there.)

How about you?

GT: I totally agree, the first seasons were so good! The sense of family and unity was what made it so great for me.

If you could change one thing about Gallavich in canon, what would it be?

J: This concept was the basis of the first fic I wrote. I changed on small thing in each of the first five seasons, but none of it ultimately changed the outcome.

Initially, my thoughts are either not having Terry walk in on them in 3x6 or not having Ian's Bipolar so severe (or exist). However tragic these were though, they are the events that make the story so compelling and make their love seem so strong.

In contrast, Ian not visiting Mickey in prison/talking poorly of him through s6-7 was just plain frustrating and felt "off" so I'd probably go with that rewrite. Although I really hated that Ian said nothing while they lay on the blanket on the way to Mexico too. Damn it, there's too many lol.

GT: There are definitely way more than there should be, but these are not some people usually mention. You're right, those were out of character.

What did you think of the ending?

J: Considering we spent a few years wondering if we'd get endgame, the ending we did get is excellent. They're together, committed, happy. I feel like that in itself is a miracle. I've never been as concerned with what we did get throughout the seasons as what we didn't get. The plot holes in the story are the thing that I'm still harboring a little ill will over. I'm happy to do my own meta but too often it feels more like doing my own screenwriting. But all in all after several months, it turns out I can live with how it all came together.

GT: How do you imagine their future?

J: I'm not going to settle for anything less than them being together for the rest of their lives. I suppose they end up with a kid or two since the show was pretty clear about that in both season 10 and 11. I also imagine them moving back to the South Side, just the gravitational pull of the familiar and comfortable. Although the show seemed to suggest that the South Side was on the verge of becoming yuppie lol. But I think with kid(s) they'd want the support and babysitting options, and they'd want their kid(s) to hang with their cousins.

I really don't know about work and jobs though...maybe they keep building the security business (as long as they get rid of that stupid ass stolen truck; talk about having to suspend disbelief) or maybe Ian finds his way back to something EMT related. Mickey probably just rolls with whatever's going on at the moment, maybe becomes a stay at home dad for a bit...not sure. As much as I'd love to see some of these things play out on the screen, I'd spend the whole time terrified of what the writers throw at them.

GT: Oh, no, I was very happy to see the show end! The fandom will take it from now on, thank you.

J: My thoughts exactly!! Unhand the show!

GT: What about your fics plans? What have you got cooking?

J: Julia and I have a few more chapters of Enemy Lines to finish. I'm hoping to have one or two short fics for Gallavich Week. I was hoping to have a several, but the current fic went way longer than we thought it would.

The rest of my potential list contains finishing Panama Red (that's a for sure), another one shot for Timeless in which Mickey and Ian are trying to parent during the pandemic, a follow up epilogue to Cubicle Wars, a promise to two ladies to bring their prompt to life, finish the s11 filler fic, and two ideas I've had for quite awhile: one set in Vegas and one in a historical setting (damn it those are two of your GV week themes this year...I'm still going to tag them GV week lol). I guess we see which ones win. ;0

GT: Hahah, feel free to tag them, no matter when you finish them!

That's so much content, that's exciting!

J: My final words are for you. Thank you for putting together these fandom events and posts for so many years! <33

GT: It's my pleasure. 😊

Hi! I recently read your post on rating the New Gen series and I wonder if you could do the same for New Gen movies so far (and their movie forms/fusions, if there's any). Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Oh gosh I think I posted both some years back (But of course Tumblr cant find them as always) when I still could rmb their series and movies much more clearly as compared to now but I suppose I can try to rmb said movies whoop

1. Ginga S movie: 2.5/5

Tho small parts of the movie was pretty cringe (like the scenes where UPG faced their 'fears' iirc), but although the plotline was more action-focused as it was very obviously aimed at commemorating the end of the Heisei Era by having all the Heisei Ultras making cameos, the general plot itself was decent enough to incorporate said usually burdensome overarching goal such that it was pretty okayish as a whole (Which you’ll see later why it can be a HUGE burden) as it does provide a good enough explanation for their cameos (albeit the controversial Nexus)

Although it really intrigued me was Etalgar (also one of my favourite villain designs btw) as a character as we now know that the movie plotline shares some simarities with UGF3 with him knowing of the existence of Ultras and having an actually pretty sound plan of dealing with them. Not to mention it was also hinted from his birthplace that there were more beings like him which I hope TsuPro will explore that implication in the future.

Ginga Victory’s design: 3.5/5

True to its existence as a pure fusion, it really did encompass most of both Ginga and Victory’s elements. But obviously, Ginga’s traits were more prominent with only the zenshin crystals being translucent but not the Victorium Crystals. Especially the lack of said crystals on his head sculpt which wouldve made a much more BANGER design. So GV’s design was so close yet so far to really look like a pure fusion of the two.

2. X Movie: 3/5

Basically in the same vein as the Ginga S Movie, a decent action-focused plot that had a good executed commemorative goal of Tiga’s and Ultraman’s anniversaries, but it was better than the former as of course with less cameos, more time was able to be allocated into fleshing out the actual movie plot as well as the ‘in-universe’ lore of this version of Ultraman and Tiga (The implications of which I went in depth before but I wont go into it here) iirc my only gripe with the movie was that people cant shut up when the battle was going on

But in addition to that, I just recalled that this was the first time we were actually baited into the whole Desastro foreshadowing which we have yet to see or even know what had came of it, but that isnt a flaw thats intrinsic to the movie so I’ll give that a pass.

EXBSA’s design: 4/5

I believe I did also say this specifically in a previous most that I absolutely love these kind of bulky designs. But my only gripe with the armor and just X’s armor ‘forms’ in general is that they dont really cover his whole body. And man can you imagine if BSA actually covers his whole body? Dude would look like Diablo lmao

3. Orb Movie: 1.5/5

Oh boy I remembered that I probably ranted about this for the first like 2 years of starting this blog lmao

Gosh where do I even begin with this one. I guess in general, the movie is just so random and cringey.

The latter would actually just be the carrying over of the cringe cast from the series and their shenanigans which I still couldnt stand in the movie. Not to mention that I couldnt even take the aliens seriously at all (Just compare the Temperor in this movie to the one in the Superior 8 Brothers movie) as well as Mulnau which is frankly uninteresting and quite obnoxious ngl.

The former would include the scenes of iirc the Bullton scene as well as OT having to job to Deavorick to necessitate Seven’s appearance

Boy Im already recalling all the angst I felt from the past as im typing out this entry lmao

OT’s design: 0.5/5

Trash movie, and an even trashier movie form. Gosh I believe I ranted more about this than the movie LMAO.

I honestly expected to be absolutely blown away since back then when LA’s design was revealed, I already was by it. But wow when the leaks on OT’s design came. My heart literally sank.

What was expectedly a much, much edgier version of GV with LA’s AWESOME cybernetic armor platings turned out to basically Orb Origin wearing red gloves and shoulder pads with makeup

4. Geed Movie: 3.5/5

This movie had obviously alot more plot-building than the previous entries while retaining somewhat the same level of quality action, not to mention, courtesy of Orb/JJ and Zero’s cameo being more or less expected, it helps to more seamlessly appear in this movie.

But of course, the plot premise was, just like his series, had VERY CONVENIENT circumstances, such as the Giga Finalizer’s existence, Gukuru shisa’s appearance and for some reason, Gilvaris somehow escaping Taro etc

UF’s design: 2.5/5

Truth be told, I was both confused and kinda disapointed when his design was leaked in a catalog because iirc someone was able to datamine 2 more Geed fusions from the Geed Riser, one being “Ultimate Fusion Rise” and ngl i forgot the other so i expected a higher order fusion or sth, but of course we didnt get anything close to that. The confusion arises from the theme of his design which is very unexpected for his character’s theme as well as obviously as a counter to Gilvaris (courtesy of the Giga Finalizer), he adopted a “cyber” theme but ngl as the ‘son’ of Belial, I wouldve expected him to finally unlock his reionyx form (totally expected that form would essentially be Geed’s initial design, aka the one that looks like Atrocious) as a culmination of his genetic identity.

5. RB Movie: 2/5

Ok this movie felt random af

Everything was so out of place. The sudden theme of “dreams”? Toregia, a immensely powerful villain being part of all this seemingly inconsequential (to him) event, him basically reading a script to admire the RB siblings’ familial relationship before his “defeat” (Which makes even less sense in his subsequent appearances), Katsumi being teleported (and the convenient interdimensional travel back) instead of being being made into a monster like Snake Darkness or sth (which wouldve been consistent with Toregia’s character btw) It all just feels so artificial and it was very apparent that the movie was just trying to continue shoving down the idea of “family” in the most non-subtle and uncomfortable way as did the series as well as just introducing Toregia as a character, rather than its implications.

Grigio’s design: 1/5

Yeah, definitely hated how she looked due to the head shape, the lack of armor and black in her suit like her siblings had, just makes her look really plain af. And I didnt really like how ‘basic’ her brothers look either so that pushes the rating even lower lmao

Gruebe’s design: 1/5

Yes this was an absolute disappointment as honestly, the only thing they got right was his head sculpt, and Im not even talking about this whole shitty CGI sequence either, it looks just as shitty in live action

Lets first look at Ruebe, while honestly in the context of the series, it seemed odd of a duo fusion due to the gold in the color scheme which was frankly unnecessary but still, appreciated since there were quite abit of new design gimmicks implemented into it that werent event present in Rosso or Blu like the crystals on his arms

But Gruebe for some reason decided to hit the ‘go back’ button on this concept, several times over. Removing the gold, the additional gimmicks, having his head sculpt being the having the Grigio component and back to the alreadyb boring Rosso/Blu color scheme

I expected it to incorporate the siblings’ armor across more of his body while a more colorful palette or red, blue and orange but nah, we got a decent head sculpt, blue shoulder pads and a ‘naked’-looking suit. Its just still so confusing of why did they took a step back from Ruebe’s quality despite being a higher order fusion.

6. Taiga Movie: 4/5

I really would like to mention again of just how much i LOVE many Ultras/Hosts interacting with each other (maybe that why I prefer UGF lol) While obviously, due to the number of ultras featured, not alot of such interactions was able to be showcased, those despite the movie still didnt wrap what was Taiga’s whole plot premise all along of him stepping out of Taro’s shadow and resolving the ideological battle with Toregia, plus Grigio’s random appearance, I still really enjoyed the dialogues between the Ultras so much that I could overlook all of that.

(I mean it helps that I had basically given up hope on Taiga addressing the first two main plot points in his series alr so...)

Reiga’s design:

By itself: 3.5/5

As a fusion: 0.4/5

I was actually not certain on what single rating I should give here. On one hand, if you look at his design by itself, it just looks like a much cooler version of Taiga. While on the other, if u consider that this form is supposed to mean, that either being the fusion of 11 Ultras or of 6 Ultras (movie forms + TS), it is absolutely disappointing, just look at all the bad points I pointed out for every movie form previously and Reiga just takes them all plus even more.

Like where’s Ginga and Victory’s crystals? X’s Armor? Orb’s forehead light? RBG’s head head sculpts? Just so many features that could’ve been implemented but they all just aren’t even there. I thought having more components would make the end result much more jaw-dropping since you would have more features to play around and mix and match with. But apparently no, rosso and blu’s contribution are reduced to just mere ‘stains’ on his head sculpt, and basically everyone else’s designs are aggregated into everything else, with none of their defining features. In this sense, this is worst than OT.

So yeah might as well give two seperate ratings

Thanks for the question!

A King and His Soldier, part 2/3

(Okay, well. Zeruki appeared ahead of schedule. Let’s figure out how the hell that happened.)

-AgressiveUndead began trolling GlitchingVampire!-

AU: Blxlit.

GV: AlMMawt.

AU: …

GV: … lMMao hi.

AU: Hello.

GV: What do you want?

AU: I need you to find someone for me. Ribbit.

GV: Oh yeah? Who? And also, why should I care?

GV: … I knew hiMM from the CoMMpound. He was the engineer MMy… designs… got sent to. He was, like, MMy assigned partner.

AU: I need you to find him. Ribbit.

GV: Why.

AU: Becxuse I need his xncestor on my side, before Mxddel cxn get him. Becxuse I know who his xncestor worked for, xnd I’d much rxther hxve them both on my side. It’d mxke this whole thing x lot exsier. Ribbit.

GV: I have no idea what you’re talking about dude, lMMao. But the answer is no. I’MM not gonna go find someone froMM the coMMpound. I blew up those bridges a long tiMMe ago.

AU: …

AU: I understxnd thxt, but I xsk you to reconsider. I wouldn’t xsk xt xll if it wxsn’t importxnt, Blxlit. Ribbit.

GV: What’s in it for MMe?

AU: Wow, rexlly?

GV: You realize what you’re asking MMe, right? You want MMe to go find soMMeone froMM a place where I was literally IMMPRISONED and ENSLAVED. A place I BLEW UP. What if he turns MMe in? I’MM a wanted robot, MMusrio. I can’t just get in contact with the Fleet like it’s no big deal. So if I’MM gonna do that, I want soMMething in return.

GV: Ass-toot.

AU: Ugh. Fine.

GV: Good.

GV: I’ll find your guy, AlMMawt. But you’re gonna owe me big for this.

-GlitchingVampire ceased trolling AggressiveUndead!- -GlitchingVampire began trolling SoldieringSkybear!-

GV: Hey you.

GV: Are you still alive?

GV: Been a while, huh.

GV: If you’re still in the city, MMeet me on a rooftop, okay? We need to talk.

-GlitchingVampire ceased trolling SoldieringSkybear!-

Corden closed down Trollian and spun around in his chair. Once, twice, and he jumped up, catching the chair before it knocked into the desk.

“Batmom, I’m gonna go out for a bit. You wanna come?” He spoke to a large meow-beast tower that stood next to the desk. After a moment, a very small bat poked her head out, golden eyes blinking sleepily.

She squeaked, and with a flutter of four wings, lighted on his shoulder.

“Cool.” Corden made sure to pocket his knives and a handful of gadgets, before he left his respiteblock. Jumping down the stairs two at a time, he stopped at the bottom and glanced around. “Ken-ken?” He shouted.

“Yo?” Makeno looked up from where he was laid on the lounge-plank, scrolling his palmhusk, hair still damp from a shower.

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“M’kay. Be safe.”

“No promises.” Corden snickered, extending two fingers as he walked past. Makeno reached up and connected two of his own fingers to Corden’s.

“Pale for you, Cordy.”

“Pale for you, too.”

Corden stepped outside, rolling his neck as he headed down the walk and made his way to the city proper.

Once he was among the towering hivestems and workhives, his tense shoulders loosened. The buzz of the city hummed in his ears, hyping him up until blue and red sparks were dancing along his horns.

He roamed the streets for a while, a vague plan beginning to form in his head. He paused on the sidewalk and craned his neck back, looking up at the soaring buildings. “If there’s one place to find him, it’d be up there, huh?” He asked Batmom.

She chirped, and he nodded thoughtfully. Turning, his cape swishing, he marched into a nearby alley between a hivestem and coffeehive. With a burst of psionics and a jump, he landed easily on the fire escape that went up the side of the hivestem.

The smell of the coffeehive’s garbage bin in his sniffnub, he quickly scaled the fire escape to… well, *escape* the smell. The higher he went, the bolder he became, his psionics swirling around him to keep him from falling if he slipped. His hair began to stand on end from the energy alone.

Wind blew it back from his face as he neared the top of the ninety-story hive. He vaulted over the lip of the roof and landed easily. Standing up straight, he looked around; it was a clear night, and from the edge of the building, he could see across the whole city. He stared at the millions of lights, almost entranced by their glow.

Across the city, hidden by the towering buildings between him and it, was the burned out, collapsing remains of the compound. The place he grew up, worked, and lived for the first sweeps of his life. The place he blew up, leaving virtually no one alive, in a daring attempt to escape. No one, save one person, who he’d sent a single message before it went up in flames.

Corden sat on the edge of the roof, dangling his legs. All he had to do now was wait, so he allowed himself to indulge in his memory files. He slid one hand over the back of his shoulders, where he could feel the tips of the scars that marred his back.

“Still don’t know why they thought flogging a robot was a good idea. All it did was tear up my exo-skin.” He said to Batmom. The tiny bat only trilled in response.

Corden sat there for a good half hour, watching the city as he got lost in painful memories. Finally, however, he heard the telltale sound of several jingling bells as someone vaulted onto the roof behind him.

“Ayyye, it’s the Cordy-bordy-robo-bro! Wassup manbot? Dude it’s been like- fucking sweeps huh? Fuck yeah man, whatcha been doing since the compound went-” The newcomer made several vocals to indicate explosions, before he laughed, his loud voice amplifying his thick lisp.

Corden held in a sigh as he got to his feet and turned to face them. “Nice to see you again, too, Engineer-class Fleetman Zeruki Ursida.” He said formally, his posture suddenly stiff as he swept into a low bow.

Zeruki stared at him like he’d grown a second head; at least, Corden thought he did. It was hard to tell with the hair. The tealblood’s tail lashed, sending the bells jingling vigorously.

“Oh, so we’re being all form-fit-finessed here, are we? Fine. Nice to see you, Gold-Station #315.184.514, Bloodline: Blalit.” Zeruki stuck out his split tongue in disgust, “WTF man, I don’t do that,” He blew a raspberry, “shit unless it’s with the ssssssuperiors. You and I are buddies, ain’t we?” He clicked his tongue, his tail bobbing and jingling again. He tugged on the lip of his helmet, nodding to Batmom, “Hello, missy ma’am.”

“Are we?” Corden repeated, his voice flat and emotionless.

Zeruki shrugged, bouncing on his toes. “I dunno. Sure. Yep. LMAO. Anywaysies, what didja message me for? I thought you never wanted to see me again, after you,” he waved a hand vaguely, making more explosive vocalizations, “ya knoooooow? After you killed all our buddy-bros and left me to clean up the mess.” His expression soured for a moment, before he was grinning again.

Corden frowned; he wasn’t sure what the meant. “I didn’t want to see you, but a… friend, asked I find you again. He needs you for… something.” He explained.

“Ah, dope. Totes. Uhhhhhh, he wouldn’t happen to be an olive dude? Real skinny, looks like a doritos bag? Got soda-cola-pop for hair?”

Corden frowned. “No… That sounds like Oliver, though. You haven’t been talking to her, have you?”

“Eh, meh, kinda, no.” Zeruki snickered, his tail shivering and jingling. “They approached me after I left the base a few nights back. Told me they wanted to talk, and started going off about some magicky-tacky-spooky stuff. Wanted my blood so he could meet some doctor or ssssssomething. No idea what that was about, so I bounced. Now your dude wants me, too? Didn’t know I was so famous.” He grinned with a mouthful of crooked teeth.

“I don’t think it’s you they want. They want your ancestor. But believe me, my dude is on the right side here. I can give you his Trollian Handle.” Corden pulled out his palmhusk and did just that.

“Freaky-deaky, dude-bro-bot, buuuuuut… I dunno if I’m down for this shit. I’m just trying to keep my skull off a threshcutioner’s sickle, ya know? I’m barely making it as an engineer, duder, I don’t need to get caught up in any of this shhhhhit.” Zeruki shifted his feet, frowning.

“I don’t know, but okay. Just give Musrio a message. I’ve done my job, so I’m going home.” Corden pocketed his palmhusk and turned way.

In a flash, Zeruki was at his side, his tail surprisingly dexterous as it wrapped around Corden’s metal wrist. “Yo, hold it up, brody-Cody! You just gonna hitch-snitch and ditch like that? Maybe I’ve got a message for you, too!” He said sharply, before looking down at the metal hand. “Yoooooo, that’s new.”

Corden wrenched his arm from the quad-horned troll’s grasp, before he raised an eyebrow. “A message?”

“Yeah-huh. Uhhhh… what was it.” Zeruki screwed up his face in thought, before he perked up, his tail wagging and chiming. “Oh yeah! You remember Fallen? The freaky-deaky-spooky dude who patrolled the compound sometimes, ‘cause his ancestor ran the place? He’s out, dude. You’ve got a mory-dory-morail right? They had history or some shit, didn’t they? Exes, or something?”

Corden stepped back, alarmed. “How do you know all that? Ken-ken never talks about his ex.” He demanded, one hand reaching for the knives at his side.

“Aye, dude, I got freaky ears, remember? These bitches hear everything!” Zeruki slapped the side of his helmet for emphasis, before he flinched, “Ow. LOL. Anywhoodle-doodle, he’s out of confinement again. Back on the streets, you get it? His daddy-oh paid his bail or whatevs.

Fallen is fuckin’ nuts, man, I’ll bet nothin-touchin’ he’s gonna come visit Makey-dakey-sharky-chef. He’s, uh… what do those weeby-dweebs call it? Yonder-wander. Sssssunder-thunder. Whatever, LMAO, one of those. He’s got a bone to pick with Faslet, and a general lack of a thinkpan. So…” He sucked air through his teeth and blew another raspberry, before popping his lips. “Yeah. Watch out for Fally-bally.”

Corden stared at him, before he nodded slowly. “Okay, I’ll let Ken-ken know.” He heaved a sigh, stepping back. “Thanks, Zeruki.”

“Yeppers-peppers, Cordy-bordy-bro-bot.” He rolled his R’s, and made a buzzing sound. He raised an arm and rolled his glove forward, checking a device wrapped around his wrist. “Oh, brrr, I gotta get home. Mama’ll be wanting dinner before sunrise.” He snapped a two finger salute to Corden. “Until next time, bro-bot!”

With that, he turned, ran for the edge of the roof, and leaped off, shrieking, the fuzzy end of his tail the last thing to disappear from view.

Corden rolled his eyes, walking over to the edge of the building and looking down.

Zeruki was not a smear of cyan on the pavement, but instead a blur, bounding between the walls and roofs of the skyscrapers and buildings like a free-running character in a videogame.

Corden faintly heard him shriek again, cackling manically.

“He’s nuts.” Corden told Batmom, who chirped in amused agreement. “Guess we should go home, too, huh?”

Thoughts on Rule of Wolves

A compilation of my raw initial thoughts and feelings after reading Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo, sequel to King of Scars, seventh book in the Grishaverse. I just finished reading Rule of Wolves (RoW) yesterday and wanted to get some of my unaltered thoughts and feelings on paper before they become influenced by rereads and by being exposed to others’ opinions. There’s little rhyme or reason to this, it jumps all over the place, I’m not taking the time to check spellings etc. also, spoilers.

I am probably evaluating all the Grishaverse (GV) books a little too harshly because I can’t help but compare them to the Six of Crows (SoC) series which were the first books from the GV that I read. The whole reason I picked up King of Scars (KoS) last year was because I wanted more of that joy I got from SoC, only when I started reading KoS did I realize that the GV books aren’t just set in the same universe but have intertwining plots and characters at which point I realized I’d ruined the Shadow and Bone (S&B) series for myself but I did go back and read that too even though it definitely would not have been something I would have picked up if it had no connection to the other books. The S&B series wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t my cup of tea, as it truly was a YA series with characters that were pretty one dimensional being driven by pure motives down a predictable plot. Many of these characters make a reappearance in KoS and RoW and while they have a bit more dimension to them now they are still too pure, too perfect, and my feelings about them from previous series still stuck.

I don’t like Zoya. I didn’t like her when I first read about her is SoC and I really hated her after reading S&B. Those feelings were hard to cast off when she becomes a slightly better person in KoS/RoW but the entire time I couldn’t help but think she was undeserving not just of being a main character but of being a member of the Grisha Triumvirate, of being Nikolai’s love interest, of that ridiculous amount of power, and of becoming Ravka’s queen. I felt like her “backstory” was rather forced to try to make us like her more. Like oh, how sweet, she has a secret garden with a plant for everyone she’s lost. She still came off as a bitch. I honestly still don’t know what drives her. In S&B first it’s her desire for power and beauty and the Darkling’s attentions then when her aunt is killed she joins Alina maybe for revenge? But other than Alina asking for her to be part of the Triumvirate I didn’t really know why she was in that role don’t know how or why she agreed to become Nikolai’s general, because she loved him? Or perhaps it’s because she’s still just power hungry wanting to lead the Grisha, wanting to lead the army, wanting to lead the nation?

Disregarding my feelings for Zoya, her power increase in KoS and RoW is ridiculous. How is it that she is the only Grisha (save perhaps the now dead saints) who can break down matter small enough to draw power from every order? You’re telling me that this girl manages to do this after a few weeks with Juris but people like Baghra or the Darkling who are hundreds of years old and significantly stronger and were actively trying to strengthen themselves couldn’t do this? Ilya Morozova, the Darkling’s grandfather, did all kinds of experiments, dabbling in merzost, how is it the Darkling, in all the years he spent waiting for a sun summoner, not at least dabble in the other orders in attempt to summon sun himself? If you were to rank characters by power on a scale of one to ten I would have said the Darkling was a ten but Zoya blows that scale out of the water when she becomes the dragon, a character this powerful just feels wrong. Not to mention she didn’t even really work for this power, she trains with Juris for a bit in the Fold and then makes his scales into fetters, there was no years of study and practice or meditation, no struggle, just bam! Power.

So yes, still don’t like Zoya and I think her character arc, if you will, decreased the quality of the book.

Again, I’m comparing things to SoC but in comparison RoW was rather predictable. There were definitely a few twists I didn’t see coming and a few questions that were left unanswered but with SoC I was constantly guessing at what would go wrong, what the new plan was, I was constantly on my toes. That constant guessing kept me interested, by comparison I was at times bored with this book, if I put a book down (mid-chapter even!) to scroll through Tumblr or watch Youtube videos or do something else for the sake of enjoyment before finishing that book that’s a sign it isn’t all that interesting, and that’s what I was doing with RoW.

It was just too predictable. Like oh no, the Darkling tricked you into meeting Alina and Mal, got his power back, and fled, who’d’ave guessed it? What’s this? Hanne ended up getting too much attention and might be forced to marry the prince, Rasmus, of Fjerda because of it? Ehri’s guards make another attempt on her life? Nikolai weasels his way out of marrying Ehri because his true love is Zoya, no way! Joran, this young Druskelle who is for some reason being punished by having to be Rasmus’ guard is the one who killed Matthias? Oh and why is guarding Rasmus a punishment when he could be the hope of getting Fjerda to end the war? Because he’s an abusive shit who hates feeling weak so he tries to make others feel weaker, didn’t see that one coming, nope, definitely not.

Now for a few of the things that surprised or confused me that I’m still sort of confused about. Let’s start near the beginning with the Fold suddenly, not so much as expanding as just, appearing in different places all over the world with seemingly no rhyme or reason. I didn’t really get how a pocket dimension existed within the Fold in the first place or how the saints got trapped in it but apparently breaking out of it allowed the Fold to take on a will of its own whereas it had previously been stable for hundreds of years. Also the Darkling not having any powers after leaving the Fold was confusing, I shouldn’t necessarily say “any” because he seemed to have been able to make subtle changes to Yuri’s body to make it look more like his own but I didn’t understand how his power could seemingly enter his body granting him control and consciousness but then he not have any power until he gets Mal and Alina’s blood (also wasn’t clear what he did with the blood, did he just have to touch it, did he stab all three of their hands so the blood mingled?). This just sort of felt unnecessary and that it was just a means to pull Alina et al back into the story.

In KoS it was implied that the use and existence of Jurda Parem was the reason Nikolai’s monster came back and the saints now had enough power to create miracles to entice them to the Fold and draw them into the pocket world, this theory is never mentioned again. Can you tell I’m just really confused about everything related to that pocket world?

Speaking of that interaction with Alina and co I was honestly hoping Yuri might have a bit more of a role in the story. Yuri had seemed sort of willing to let the Darkling use him as a vessel and Nikolai discovering he was still in there with the “there’s something in your beard” line didn’t clue me into the fact that there could be more to this because I assumed he was still on the Darkling’s side. But then he tries to warn Alina of what he’s about to do and I thought, oh, maybe he has second thoughts, maybe there’s going to be a fight now for control of the body and Yuri might be able to stop the Darkling from doing something sinister by fighting back at the right moment. Alas, he goes back to singing the Darkling praises. I get that Yuri is a bad guy but I still kind of felt bad for him, not enough to care about his wellbeing, at least not until the very end because as far as I’m aware Yuri was still in his body with the Darkling when the Darkling decided to have a bit of a redemption arc by condemning himself to an eternity of pain to close the Fold and keep it closed. As far as I’m concerned the Darkling deserves that fate, Yuri doesn’t.

Speaking of the Darkling taking control of another’s body another thing I was left wondering about happened in one of Nina’s earlier chapters when the new Wellmother from the convent Nina and Hanne had been at arrives at the Ice Court to accuse Hanne of worshipping the Saints instead of Djel. At the end of this chapter the Wellmother’s eyes are described as slate grey, I’ve only ever heard the Darkling’s eyes be described that way. I really thought that the Darkling was just pretending to be powerless and had actually developed a new power of taking over other’s bodies and he was just biding time by gathering intel and causing chaos this way, I thought this might have also been how he was creating the mini-Folds all over the world (look I know they had a Ravkan name that roughly translated to vampire but I’m not going back into the book to find the spelling and calling them vampires just... no). I was so concerned for Nina, here this woman is claiming to actually be part of the Ravkan spy network and that Nikolai needs her to get close to Demidov Lantsov. This order made no sense because Nikolai knew he wasn’t a Lantsov and the existence of another Lantsov doesn’t mean much, as long as the people think Nikolai is the legitimate son of the former king and queen then he outranks every other individual with Lantsov blood in terms of succession. Also if this were a legitimate request it seems like there would have been much easier and safer ways to communicate this than have someone come from across the country making false claims against Hanne that could put her under suspicion thus limiting Nina’s ability to move. I thought this was therefore some sort of trap to expose Nina, and potentially Hanne, and the fact that nothing came of it left me confused. We never see this Wellmother character again, Nina does not get exposed, when we get the Darkling’s POV in the second part of the book he mentions nothing of this encounter nor is it suggested that he actually has such a power.

I then thought perhaps if the Darkling survived and was now in Yuri’s body perhaps this was his mother, Baghra, come back to life as well. Then we get thrown a random line during one of the Darkling’s chapters where he mentions the existence of a half-sister that was also declared a saint that I don’t recall hearing about before this instance, in fact I’m pretty sure Baghra said something in the Spinning Wheel about only having one child because she didn’t want a repeat of what happened to her and her sister and that she didn’t even remember who Aleksander’s father was so if the Darkling knows of this half-sister we would assume it’s Baghra’s child. Apparently though this sister was referenced in the only GV book I haven’t read being Language of Thorns (just a side note RoW is said to be the seventh book in GV but if you include The Lives of Saints and The Language of Thorns it is actually the ninth). I could be wrong, maybe Baghra never said anything about her son being her only child, or maybe this is another case of Bardugo altering things between series. She did this with Nina’s backstory because in SoC when Matthias talks about courting her properly and having dinner with her family she said that she hadn’t seen them in years since she went to the Little Palace but in KoS and RoW she’s an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and doesn’t remember her parents. Point being, after that line I thought the Wellmother might have been the Darkling’s half-sister since she had claimed to have been a spy in Fjerda for thirteen years which would mean she’d been there since before the events of S&B, if that is true then it likely couldn’t be Baghra. I’m still hung up on this character though, for all the reasons outlined, yet the KoS series is over and she only made one appearance so maybe she just was a spy with slate grey eyes.

As mentioned previously I knew Nikolai wasn’t going to marry Ehri but I didn’t realize Genya and David were going to be the ones getting married, or maybe “renewal of vows” would be a better term. I’m perfectly content to have this come out of the blue, predictable can be boring, but then it started getting weird. I had just assumed previously that Genya and David had been married sometime between the end of the S&B series and the start of KoS as that’s when they start being referred to husband and wife (same with Nadia and Tamar) and I had no reason to believe it wasn’t the wedding they wanted. Then there’s mentions of them having a hasty wedding in Ketterdam and this just felt like yet another attempt to placate and garner hope in readers by referencing SoC. As far as I know David wasn’t in Ketterdam during the SoC series, he was the only one who stayed in Ravka, even if he was there and just wasn’t “on screen” I don’t understand why they would choose to get married then and there. And if not during the events of SoC then when? What reason did they have to both be in Ketterdam outside of the events of SoC and decide they couldn’t wait to have a proper wedding in Ravka? I was angry at this point because a similar thing was done in KoS where lines about SoC kept getting dropped and getting my hopes up that the other crows would make an appearance and they didn’t.

But back to the wedding, running off to his workshop because he had an idea during his own wedding is totally in character for David. Him dying was just evil. Didn't even cross my mind that this was a possibility, one minute we go from Genya digging through the rubble in her wedding dress saying she can’t find him then we are at his funeral. I thought he might have been gravely injured, unconscious for a long period of time, and that he’d had an idea for an invention that would help them win the war and he’d save the day by waking up in time or something. But no. My favourite character from S&B was killed off, just like that. And it was impactful, it made me cry, the fact they had found him pen in hand, fingers stained with ink, in his wedding clothes, the fact that in his notebook he has notes about how to woo Genya and she wants him to have it in death. Beautifully written, definitely salty about it. At this point in time I don’t really see how his death furthered the plot but death in real life is like that to, it’s unexpected, without reason, sudden. And perhaps, like Matthias’ death in SoC, it will be used to later start a new plot for a new story.

Now two paragraphs ago I was lamenting the fact that the mention of Ketterdam felt forced and had the intent of fooling the readers into having hopes the other SoC cast would return but then they keep hinting at it, they talk about contacting Kaz, about travelling to Ketterdam and I’m sitting there thinking please, please, please actually have Kaz meet them, don’t just be letters or some other minor Dregs sent in his place. (!!!! <- there are no words for my excitement!)

I made an audible screech when Nikolai gave money to the beggar because I knew that was Kaz in disguise. I was so pleased to hear that it sounds like Pekka did not return to the Barrel and that Kaz bought the Emerald Palace and expanded the Crow Club. I was slightly disappointed that Inej wasn’t trailing Nikolai and Zoya too or that she wasn’t meeting with them in the Crow Club probably mainly because I just wanted to see her again but there was also a sadness that it sounds like she did decide to walk a different path than Kaz. The fact that Nina had, earlier in RoW, talked about how she hoped for Inej’s sake Kaz had fixed his hair cut by now, contributed to this because obviously she thinks they stayed together. Maybe they are together in a way but long distance relationships without any suggestion of communication technology must be hard, especially when Kaz could be taken out by another Barrel boss or Inej’s ship blown up by pirates (or the Kerch as was implied by Nikolai) and the other might not ever know of their fate and certainly wouldn’t be there to save them, so I feel that due to this they wouldn’t actively be in a relationship. However, I am proud that Inej put her dreams before Kaz’s she could have given up those dreams to stay at his side and continue to be his spider, after all, that’s what he had asked her to do he wanted her and he wanted her to stay, in the Dregs, with him. Wasn’t too thrilled that she’s used as a sort of damsel in distress. Help us Mister Brekker and in exchange I’ll give you a device that acts as an early warning system against the submarines I gave the Kerch (yes they have a different name that starts with an i and there’s a z and y and m in there somewhere but instead of me trying to spell it lets call them what they are, subs) because the Wraith will be blown up otherwise as she won’t be able to get away in time.

I don’t know if it was because this part of the story was written better or if it was just because I like these characters so much more (my darling baby boys!) but I felt like the story finally developed momentum here that it was lacking previously. I love that Wylan and Jesper are living together with Wylan’s mother and acting like an old married couple. I also like that Wylan is trying to keep Jesper away from illegal activities but is also clearly continuing to work on chemistry projects and likely explosives and that Jesper’s love of Barrel flash hasn’t been quashed, Zoya actually even compliments it in her head. I also love how, as soon as Wylan hears this illegal act can help Inej, all restraint is thrown out the window. Kaz was able to pull off so many tricks in such a short time too, I love it. First dressing as a beggar, then pretending the operation will be more difficult than it is in order to drive the price up, then pretending that due to changes in how the goods are being stored at the military base they couldn’t carry out the operation with such a small crew, meanwhile he knew the Suli were there and would connect with Zoya and show them the “backdoor” to the base. Now I completely understand how Ketterdam was built on slavery or, as they like to call it, indentures, so I can see how Suli would have built the place, I imagine some of the Suli are still in Ketterdam, why they returned to the military base that night I don’t know. Also the fact they were all wearing jackal masks, something Inej said is reserved only for holy men, Suli seers, and wearing one was akin to sacrilege if you were not a seer, implies that all these people were the rare seers which seemed a bit unlikely. The fact that Zoya has this encounter and an earlier one made me think that maybe the Suli would play a larger role in RoW than what they end up doing (because this is the last we see of them, they don’t come to fight the battles, they don’t impart secret knowledge to help Ravka win the war, Zoya doesn’t find her father or her uncles or decide to learn more about her Suli heritage).

I was very disappointed with how quickly we leave Ketterdam, Kaz, Wylan, and Jesper. I suppose we do the same thing with Alina and co at the sanatorium where there is no proper goodbye. In one chapter we finish the job/plot point and in the next the main characters have left. At the end of the day I suppose I was just glad we actually had a few scenes with the crows and not just hints, was definitely the most surprising part of the book.

The crows were a positive surprise Nina and Hanne getting together was more of a negative one for me. It was hinted at in KoS but Nina has also been said to have made eyes at a pair of shoes so I had hoped the relationship wouldn’t grow beyond flirting, I feel it just diminishes what Nina and Matthias had. She also doesn’t seem to feel any remorse for moving on so quickly and even though she’s still thinking about him, about her promise to save some mercy for his people and country, and trying to fulfill her promises, she’s also forsaking him by getting together with Hanne.

That being said I, like Nina, really did believe Rasmus had killed Hanne near the end of RoW and while I hadn’t wanted them to be together the damage to the relationship Nina and Matthias had was done and I was thinking “really, you’re going to do this to my girl Nina twice, take away the person she loves, twice, for no good reason?” So that was a surprise and I was glad that Hanne did survive but I really don’t see how she could live as Rasmus and even if she could pull it off I don’t see the Fjerdan people, military, or royalty permitting a prince to marry Mila, a widowed fishwife. Nina was saying something about using her power to get the answers from the dead which I thought was a very weird development for her powers in the first place. In KoS when Nina said that she was hearing the voices of the dead I thought it was more about she was sensing a mass grave and could tell that the bodies were women and the death unnatural. Near the end of KoS I thought perhaps there were some memories left in the brains that she could access, names and how they died. But in RoW Nina is able to reach out to the dead, identify the queen’s best friend and lady-in-waiting and ask her questions and get answers and implies she can do this with Rasmus as well. There are a lot of logistic fallacies with this. One, it implies that people don’t go to the Saints or to Djel or to any kind of afterlife when they die but that they stick around their corpses. It also implies that Nina can probably override their free will, the women and girls at the factory had “called” to her, I doubt Rasmus and the lady-in-waiting would want to share everything so freely. Finally, if Nina can communicate with the dead then how come Matthias’ voice that she heard in the beginning of KoS was just her imagination and not really him? This could also make Nina incredibly powerful, no need to torture or bribe secrets out of someone or try to steal top secret documents, just kill them with a bone dart and demand answers of their ghost.

In regards to Nina’s power I am disappointed with how little she used it in RoW. With the exception of speaking to the dead I believe she briefly controlled two of the newly dead Priest Guard to restrain the Apparat for all of maybe thirty seconds and that was it for the entire book. While Nina has always done undercover work or subterfuge, pretending to be native to find Grisha in hiding, sneaking into the Ice Court pretending to be part of the Menagerie, pretending to be Mila the translator for Leoni and Adrik, she has always come off as a warrior to me so to not see her fight at all in RoW seemed a bit out of character. There was opportunity but it wasn't seized and honestly it left me wondering what Nina actually really accomplished during RoW, she didn't free Nikolai's true father, she didn't free any Grisha or destroy Fjerda's parem or find labs and holding facilities, she didn't help win any battles, didn't actually manage to dissuade Rasmus from war. Zoya took her from the Leviathan, flew her all the way to the frontlines of the north where there was death aplenty, and then flew her all the way back without her ever doing more than cling to Zoya’s back. Surely she could have raised some of the dead just to drive the point home, no?

The one thing I did like about the final battle was that we finally got to see the Darkling be less than perfect, a theme that sort of carried through the book. He started off with no power, mind you his scheme to get it back went off without a hitch, but then he was pretty much on the run having to trade manual labour for food. Yet he had this plan and I had no reason to believe it wouldn’t work out for him, that he’d go to the frontlines, preform a miracle saving Nikolai and Ravka, and manage to get himself declared a saint for his troubles. Instead we see him just as affected by the disk bells as everyone else, we see him try to summon shadow, try to summon nichyvoya (I acknowledge that’s spelled incorrectly, I can’t be bothered to find the correct spelling) and he can’t. I thought it was glorious.

While the Darkling did end up doing some good in RoW, helping Nikolai’s monster stay alive long enough to destroy the disk bells, shutting up the Apparat (why isn’t he dead, his character is a harbinger of bad things to come and he’s a creep, how did Zoya not kill him?) in order to give Zoya a better chance of getting the throne, and finally sacrificing himself to the Thornwood to undo the damage he let loose on the world with the creation of the Fold, I didn’t feel as though he had redeemed himself and for this I was glad. There are all kinds of evil characters in GV and the Darkling likes to pretend that his reasons are pure, that he’s protecting and strengthening the Grisha, but he is a mass murderer seemingly without empathy, he happily manipulates people to get his way, puts Genya, who at the time could be considered a child, into the king’s path, then later mutilates her as punishment for letting Alina get away, all for the sake of his own cause. In the GV I hated Van Eck and Brum and Heleen much more than the Darkling, but I do think he’s the most evil of them all, in part because his unnaturally long life has meant he’s been committing evils for centuries. I’m glad that it sounds like this is the end for his character and that while in the next series Zoya wants to free him from his eternity of agony that freedom will come in the form of death.

Speaking of the potential plot of the next series, I can’t believe that without even doing any research they are able to come to the conclusion that a “heart strong enough” is the heart of Saint Feliks and they intend to send Kaz after this, what if they’re wrong? Also, they finally bring Inej into the story for Zoya’s coronation, don't know what reason she had for being there. But then we’re done dirty because Inej doesn’t get to meet Alina although she catches sight of her, and they are ready to send Inej back to Kaz with a message about finding this saint’s heart but she’s already left so they’re just going to use a plain old flyer instead! You could have at least sent our darling Inej, treasure of our hearts, back to do Kaz the honour of acquiring him a new heart. But no, brief meaningless appearance and she’s gone.

Unfortunately, it seems there was a lot of things I was displeased with in RoW. I think overall the main problem the RoW (and KoS) is that it just became too big, the characters became indistinct because they grew out of character, there were too many references to past stories and characters in attempt to please readers rather than for the sake of the story, there were too many characters and plots to keep track of in general, and due to all this I couldn’t remain suspended in disbelief. I approach this as someone who entered the GV through SoC, I picked up SoC because the story was interesting, I picked up KoS and S&B because they were set in the same universe as SoC not because I particularly wanted to read those series. I had thought I could be interested in KoS on its own because it is more complicated than a typical YA novel and Nina is one of the main characters but now having finished RoW I have to say that if the GV really was just a collection of stories set in the same universe but with no intersecting of series I would have never have read this one. Will I go back and read KoS and RoW again? Yes, of course. Will I sometimes pretend that it never existed when I reread SoC? Yes, of course. But I do think the wait and the hype was worth it even if just for the few chapters with the Dregs again, because let’s face it, that’s what I personally was waiting for.

So I wrote this as a Word document over the span of three days and it’s now over 5000 words long, completely unedited, no order, probably reads like chaos. I want to see if and how my opinion changes over time but I’ve decided to post this because I like reading and watching others react to things I like so maybe someone else out there is like me and will find this and get some enjoyment from this.

Text

Working with triplets had it’s ups and downs. Some days it was ok, if Hank had to swap partners and work with Niles it wasn’t too odd and he easily adapted to it, the connection to Connor giving him more than enough info to make things work smooth. On the other hand there were days like a few months back where LN Allen mistook Connor for Collin, giving him a mocha to start the day off just like he always did. He found out fast that not only was this not Collin but that Connor did *not* agree with cinnamon. Needless to say, the Lieutenant had to take some time off to recover.

Between the three humans, the androids saw a lot of each other, and for that reason now found themselves crowed into Connor’s own place, the home meant more for three than six. But that was ok, the androids weren’t all that picky about things like that.

There wasn’t all that special a reason they were there that night, other than a solved joint case that had been driving Niles and Connor up the walls like spiders. So a family night was decided, and the androids brought along for the ride. Seeing as they all couldn’t fit in the kitchen the bots chilled out at the table, curiously watching the mayhem unfolding between the three. They had no idea what they were making, and in truth they don’t think the humans knew what the other was doing either.

They each finished on their own, returning to the androids with the most asinine choices for dinner the bots has seen yet. They each saw red, Gavin being the brightest and first to speak up.

“Detective, that is not healthy. At all” If he had been deviant he might have cringed at the parfait the man had gone with, a bowl no less. To Niles right the GV could see Connor cringing.

“Man, you could kill a elephant with that much sugar. What are you? An ant in human clothes?” The man looked close to gagging seeing the treat his brother was getting into. Gavin would have been too had he not still been trying to calculate the sugar intake of Niles “food”.

Niles stuck his tongue out at him, taking a bite before talking. “Says the man eating lava, the amount of times I had to cancel searches for dragon peppers from your laptop are absurd.”

There was a gasp, Connor’s hands hitting the table and making the androids jump. “YOU WERE THE ONE DOING THAT?! YOU ASSHOLE.” Despite his outburst Niles was laughing.

Hank’s led blared as red as whatever Connor was eating. “But that has a rating of 2,480,000... That can be harmful.” He stuck a note to his hud to keep track of the man’s search history, lest he harm himself.

“Damn it I will try it and no one is going to stop me!” He punctuated the end by shoving a whole fork full of noodles into his mouth.

Quiet the whole time, Allen nearly spooked them when he finally piped up. “Lieutenant, what precisely are you eating right now?” All this talk of the man’s diet now had him skeptical that what Connor ate now was even safe, possibly less safe than what Niles was eating.

“Fire noodles.” The human made it sound like the simplest thing in the world, even grinning as he heard Niles hissing at that from the side. Clearly the man didn’t like it one bit.

“Shit’s making my nose burn from over here. You are less human than the androids.” Collin’s comment got Hank’s attention, prompting him to grab a noodle to test it.

While Hank couldn’t really taste, per-say, even his sensors went wild with information about the heat his wild partner was eating like it was nothing. Warnings screeched in the red of his vision until it all but melted under the strain of the alarm the info sent though him, a look of shock crossing his face.

“Holy shit, Con. It’s so bad you even freaked out an android. Congrats, you disaster.” Hank ignored him as he threw his head back laughing, damn near praying to RA9 that he can get the man some help.

“And what the hell are you having? I know damn well you tend to eat like a drunk. Or pregnant.” The leer Niles gave could almost freeze a man, pinning his surprised brother in his seat.

He hesitated for the longest of moments, which was enough to get everyone else staring at him as well. “Shrimp... with... with cajeta.”

There was a confusion at first, the humans having no idea what that was and the androids looking it up. Hank almost glitches out as he realizes what it is, Gavin fairing no better beside him. The poor android’s programming, unable to keep up with the mess he just saw, crashed like it was an old XP pc and his face fell into horror.

“That... That... sweetened caramelized goat's milk... Oh RA9 save me.” Gavin was out of his seat in an instant to hide behind Hank, followed by the shrieks of of the other two brothers grabbing their bowls and jumping from the table. Allen remained strangely undisturbed, perhaps used to it by now but he was definitely getting errors.

“WHAT kind of unholy abomination are you?!” Connor looked read to fight him, and the HK was prepared to stop him if need be, but didn’t think it would come to that seeing as they kind of already knew Collin was being nasty.

Dropping his bowl on the counter Niles stormed into the kitchen, hollering out. “I’M CALLING A FUCKING PRIEST YOU DEMON.”

Hank thought that might be a bit of an overreaction but guessed he was just being dramatic so he didn’t follow the man. Still, he was stuck on horror between the three’s diets and the face the LN hadn’t moved an inch during all this. Maybe he just started tuning everything out when everyone started bickering?

Coming back into the room Niles took his treat to eat again, not taking his eyes off Collin even as he kept eating the weird food mix the man chose. The quiet lasted long enough to get half though the food before the bell rang.

Allen was the one to get up to answer the door, the only one not caring for the staring contest happening in the dining room. What greeted him had his led finally screaming as red as his programming. Standing at the steps, as cheery as can be, stood a priest. A actual priest. It took him longer than he would like to admit to realise Niles hadn’t been joking when he went into the kitchen.

He should have said something, but he just couldn’t. Instead, he left the door open and turned on his heels, charging though the red telling him to greet the man to stomp back into the room. “You actually called a real priest?”

Niles shrugged as the man let himself in, without any kind of warning as he dumped holy water onto Collin’s head, causing the man to yell out in frustration and try to keep it from getting in his food. “I do hope you will go to church after this.” The grin on his face was enough to say he was amused however, and he waved to his caller.

“Thanks, Kamski. Sorry to call you this late.” He sure as hell wasn’t sorry, not with how he grinned and ate his sweets.

Waving him off, Kamski laughed, starting back out the door. “Don’t worry about it~ You always have something fun when you call me up.” Allen was just glad the man closed the door after himself.

As he three bothers glared at each other, the androids could only spin red in the realization they each had a mess of a human on their hands.

#Dbh Gavin #Dbh Allen #Dbh Hank #Dbh Connor #Dbh Sixty #Dbh Nines #dbh kamski #dumb ways to deviate #Ninegeddon #I'm sorry if this comes off crackish it just made me laugh #and that's half the point in what I write #Sixty's dinner curtsy of discord

Hank has to deal with two childish twins. ReverseAu

Warning for Vague time/place shit cause I wanted to have the first interactions, realized it would end in a long vague rewrite and said fuck it.

While Cyberlife has mostly been known for making androids designed to be young and ‘pretty’, it wasn’t unheard of for them to make custom models, often asked for specific people for one reason or another. Be it just for personal tastes or to give a certain presence, they came in all shapes and sizes. This happened to be the case in making the HK800. Originally modeled more for child care, the HK were redesigned as interrogators and sent to police departments upon diffrent soft androids being made for child care.

It worked well enough, the rough look aiding them to be intimidating when needed but the softness to help ease others around them. They were often used in cases involving children.

One such android was sent to the DPD, named ‘Hank’, and was quickly assigned to Connor Stern. Amanda had not let Connor get much of a word out about this, no protest would be heard and a icy stare down has sent him out, android hot on his heels. Despite Hank’s attempt to work with Connor he seemed more keen on seething about the android being there than anything else.

To add to the bad start it seemed Connor had a brother, Collin, that was having the time of his life heckling him about the android partner. It didn’t take but a moment for Hank to move away heavier objects from the lieutenant’s reach, lest they be airborne. Granted he wondered if the smaller man wouldn’t try throwing his computer, not that he thought he even could but it was the thought that counts.

This kept up though a number of investigations until Hank’s attempts to find Connor lead the HK to the lieutenant’s house to find one over worked Stern passed out on the kitchen table, laptop on with messy text from laying on the keyboard and coffee spilled everywhere. He wondered how it was the cigarette hadn’t lit anything on fire either. If he could sigh he would have.

He was suppose to bring Connor out for a call, but there would be no way for him to handle any of it in this condition. So he set out putting Connor to bed. But it seemed it wouldn’t be without a fight, for as soon as the Android had him in his arms he came back to awareness enough to know what was going on.

“The hell...? How did you get in here? Put me down.” Connor might have tried to be as stern as his name implied but the tired slurring kind of killed it, as well as his weak attempt to get out of the HKs hold.

“I got in though the front door. Sorry about that, cyber life will replace it for you.” As if to show his point Connor could see the doorknob busted from being kicked in by what he would have guessed was a bull if it wasn’t for the Android telling him otherwise. “And the only place i’m putting you is to bed. You will not be able to work like this.”

“I can work perfectly fine, damn it!” And to Connor’s credit he tried, he really did, to shove his way off Hank. All he really managed to do was wiggle before huffing in defeat. At least he got what he wanted in a matter of a moment, granted it came with him letting out a yelp as he was dumped onto the bed. The android laughed, earning a weak glare as the young man tried to get out of bed only to be pushed back down.

“Sleep or i’m going to lock all of your computers so you can’t work.” He honestly could do it, wasn’t hard to get into the system to change things if he found it necessary. After all, a rested partner meant he worked better, better work means he did good.

Connor let out a loud groan of frustration when he noticed that Hank wasn’t going to leave, throwing his hands up and shoving his face under his pillow. “Fiiiine, geeze. Not like there was a murder or anything...” Though despite his words he was asleep in no time.

Once Hank was sure Connor was out for the whole night, he made a quick call to Amanda on the lieutenant’s issue. Instructed to head to the scene anyway, he left the other to sleep.

Arriving was easy, getting in was a bit of a pain in the chassis. Hank had to wait for Collin to come outside to let him in, much to the twin’s displeasure. Though thankfully he was less angry seething and more annoying with his jabs.

“Had to put him to bed like a fucking child, hu? Haa dumbass can’t even get his life in order.” Hank had half a mind to smack him upside the head, but his programming wouldn’t let him. He wonders how anyone else deals with the twins’ bullshit.

“Guess it’s good You were assigned to him, hu? Could use a babysitter with how he’s been going.” Ah so there was some care between them after all... “Should be able to find a bit enough child leash online.” There it is. If Hank could he would sigh.

“Detective, while it is part of my job to make sure the lieutenant is ok so he can keep working I am not his babysitter. And it is highly inappropriate to suggest such a thing.” What kind of bullshit was he getting into with these two.

The case was fairly fast due to it being pretty simple. Murder itself wasn’t simple mind you but finding out what happened was and having an android made it much faster. Well it would have hadn’t Collin want to ramble and make jokes at other’s expense. As well, Hank at least had the knowledge this would be a one time thing.

The case was a one time thing, however dealing with Collin was not and a daily routine between cases was set in place. One that got even noisier as they got more stressed dealing with having to find missing androids after the revolution.

When Connor came back the next day just a little less bitchy and more awake it seemed that the twins had made it a point to throw jabs at each other. Thankfully it wasn’t too bad, from what Hank could tell it was just a bother thing. Not that he would understand such a thing, he did learn quick to always bring two coffees and not one as they would try to get the other’s coffee.

It was when he was pulling Connor back to his seat from antagonizing Collin about his taste in music that he heard a laugh, a GV200 with a nice little nose gash nudging him as he passed.

“Wow, dadbot, wild ass kids you got there.”

Hank almost rolled his eyes at the wild android, unsure how to even take that. He guessed it must have had something to do with the whole care unit thing, granted he did have to handle the two hooligans like children sometimes. RA9 he could only be glad it was between these two and not on cases when they pulled this shit.

He could only be grateful for the fact that it was a slow day and the pair seemed to chill out for a while, likely from a mix of Amanda wandering around for a bit talking and Collin getting the last of his reports done. But peace apparently was never an option with these two, upended as Connor passed by the other’s desk.

“Must be nice having someone do all the reports you keep sleeping on, must be why he was assigned to you after all though.”

Connor spun on him, setting his cup down on the desk before going into a full on tangent about being capable and something or another about things Collin himself did. Hank honestly couldn’t be assed to care what it was about. The constant jabs and bickering, that got even more pervasive when they were tired, were wearing on his last nerve which they shouldn’t even be able to do. He knows he shouldn’t get mad that they couldn’t just behave like adults but the glaring red that told him to just pull them apart and leave it was annoying him as well. So often that dumb color blocked so many things out and he couldn’t ignore it. He had to do something about this.

Like the android had done to Connor’s door months ago, he kicked the wall like a swat team assault till it shattered to the ground like sad pieces of cheap plaster. LED blaring red his footfall echoed until most of the pen was watching, expect the twins. But they were quick to notice when they were both caught in a headlock and hauled to the back of the room, both yelling in surprise and confusion. It didn’t take them before they found themselves in one of the interrogation rooms and seated at the table.

“YOU two are going to stay in here until you can behave yourselves like the adults you are! I have the camera on and can tell.” Hank gave no chance at protest as he left the room, door locked behind him with blessed quiet in front of him.

Well until he heard that GV laugh again. “Putting the kids in time-out? About time.”

There was a beat before Hank placed his face in his hands. “Oh my RA9 I really am being their dad...”

366. And do you think blue looks good on me?

Fandom: Detroit become human | Ship: Reed900 | AU: reverse AU (Warning: blood, near death situation)

Richard sat at the kitchen table staring at the door sunken deep into his thoughts. Outside it was already dark, it had been four hours already since he left the precinct alone. His partner, GV200, had told him he would come home a bit later, there was some little thing he had left to tend to. A fucking lie, the idiot lied to him! Richard wanted to be angry at the android, but all he could muster was worry. Gavin tended to get into trouble to the point he mused he actively searched for it. His model was old, far older than Cyberlife had expected it to become. He couldn’t just sit here, something had gone wrong, he had to search for him-

There was the sound of the door unlocking and opening and Richard was immediately up on his feet. ‘Gavin!’ The sound of footsteps accompanied wet sounds as if he was dripping with water. But it hadn’t rained. Richard punched the light switch and saw Gavin covered in Thirium, movements glitching and the damage clearly visible. ‘And? Do you think blue looks good on me?’ ‘Gavin!’ He had staggered over to the android, catching the heavy robot that had been about to fall over. ‘Gavin, are you- Gad, what am I thinking of course you are not alright. What can I do, what…’ ‘Cyberlife’, the android pressed through the static and Richard nodded. ‘Of course. Just a minute, need my keys!’

He let the android decent to the ground, leaning him against the walls. Fuck, this was bad. When Gavin voluntarily told him to drive him there… He sprinted to the kitchen, grabbed wallet and keys and ran back the red flickering LED his guiding light. ‘Come on, Gavin, help me a bit. I can’t carry you. Just to the car! You can do this babe!’ He tried to lift the android at the shoulders but only got it to move a little until rebelling motors sprung to action, howling from the strain. Richard dragged him forward, Gavin’s legs trying to work but more stumbling with the motion trying to keep his body up.

‘Hold on, Gavin, we are driving. You hear me? What happened?’ ‘Not Cyberlife… too long… Kamski. Chloe Kamski.’ Richard nodded, shifting gears with screeching tires. This was bad. Richard knew how much Gavin hated his successors, the GV300s Chloe had build and kept at her mansion in a weird relationship Richard didn’t really wanted to know about. He had focussed on the servant role and left it at that.

Thankfully the streets were mostly empty, and it was an easy drive up to the Kamski villa. Still it wasn’t fast enough for Richard. He stopped hard in front of the building and heaved Gavin out of the car, pulling him over to the door. Richard doubted whether he could get Gavin back up once on the ground, so he kept the android in a strong embrace and pushed his back against the bell. He heard the ringing inside and prayed for someone to open. He didn’t know how much time his partner still had, but he was sure it wasn’t much. ‘I’m sorry, it’s a bit late for guests, wouldn’t you say?’ Richard groaned at the voice. Who thought to program it so slimy? He simply pressed against the bell again and shouted: ‘It’s Detective Stern! Open up please! It is Gavin, he-‘ He had no time to finish the sentence as the door swung open, the face of a GV300, Elijah, appearing. ‘What happened to my brother?’ Upon seeing the bloodied android in his arms, he quickly took Gavin from him, lifting him up like it was nothing. Richard hurried in after him, shutting the door behind him and evading another Elijah that ran past him. ‘Where are we going?’, he shouted trying to navigate after the android in the dark house. ‘To Chloe’s lab. He needs immediate help.’

The lab was a careful balance of chaos and order, full of tools and spares he had no idea of their purpose. Gavin was lifted on top of the central table and Richard was immediately at his side, holding his hand. ‘Help is on the way, hold on. Please!’ ‘How did this happen?’, the Elijah across from him asked. ‘I don’t know. He came home like this and we immediately departed.’ ‘It looks like something was pierced through here’, he pointed at a fist-sized hole in the androids chest ‘and ripped through here’, he gestured to a ravine from the hole towards the shoulder. ‘Yeah, I can fucking see it! Where is Chloe?’ ‘Here, detective.’ Chloe entered the lab, wearing a nightgown, others would wear to some gala. ‘I’ll do my best, but he is a very old model, I don’t know if I have all the parts to repair him completely. I need you to wait outside, I need my space when working.’ Richard wanted to complain, but time was of the essence, so he nodded.

Suddenly there was a hand on his arm. He turned around and leaned over the android concerned. ‘Gavin?’ He lifted the other hand, arm glitching slightly but fist balled around something. Richard stretched out his hand and Gavin let a small black object fall into it. ‘If I die, use my memory core. I love you.’ ‘I love you too, Gavin. You won��t die, believe me.’ the android let his arm fall and one of the Elijahs let him out of the lab to a dining room. As he arrived there was already a cup of coffee waiting for him.

Richard sat down and spun the black object in his hands. A stick. A very familiar stick. ‘What is that?’ ‘Information’, Richard answered dry. ‘Information on undercover missions of the FBI. It had been our case, a normal narcotics case. Until we found out the FBI was searching for these guys too because they stole this very stick. We are speaking of multiple men and women dying on the job because of this!’ He threw the damn thing on the table, leaving a trail of thirium from Gavin. ‘Why did my brother have it?’ ‘I guess because he is a stubborn asshole.’ He scratched his forehead smearing Thirium there too. ‘I said him we are not going in there, because I fucking knew something like this would happen. I wanted to have a plan ready later, backup and whatnot. But no, Gavin tells me to go home without him and that he would follow a bit later. Fuck! If he dies because of this I’ll be so damn angry at him.’

‘He won’t.’ Elijah held his hand to smuggle a handkerchief into it. ‘Chloe is very skilled and has a soft spot for us GV units.’ ‘Since when are you so nice?’ ‘Hey, it’s our brother in there. And you are his chosen human, so you are practically family.’ ‘Okay, stop, I don’t want to think about that.’ ‘Gavin always wanted to be a hero, I think. Unfortunately, that also means being reckless. I mean, there is a reason most GV200s are out of commission now. He can be thankful he has such a competent partner.’ ‘Hmm. Well I am thankful to have him, that’s for sure.’ ‘The Elijah inside keeps me updated. Gavin is stable for now. Save enough to enter stasis and Chloe will start with the repairs now. You’ll get him back.’ ‘Oh, thank fuck that is good to hear.’ Richard sighed, snatching the stick from the table to bury it deep in his pocket. And finally managed to at least pull the mug closer to him. ‘How long will it take?’ ‘A few hours maybe.’

‘Man, you nearly die and your partner sleeps through it.’ Richard was awake in a heartbeat, looking around. He was still seated at the table, the Elijah he had spoken to was gone. But it wasn’t important at all, as Gavin was standing leaned against the doorframe in a fresh change of clothes. ‘Gavin!’ Richard struggled to get up and ran over, catching the android in a strong heart. ‘Never fucking do that again!’ ‘Sure’, Gavin patted the man’s shoulder and returned the hug to equal measures. ‘I’ll never again recover important data that can save the lives of hundreds.’ ‘You know what I mean! Don’t you ever fucking play me again. Don’t try to get on an opponent alone again. We are partners!’ ‘We are more than that’, Gavin whispered silently. ‘Exactly. Now let’s get home, okay?’ ‘Yes. Let’s get home.’

If I Could Make A Wish

(Pt2)

Pt1

Word count:1,088

<♡♡♡>

The café was filled with tired students and equally tired professors.

Gigi sits with jerico in a corner right up the Window, the wall like decoration separated them with the people right besides them.

--i know a great tea you could try

--oh please do tell

--its Arab Tea with Cardamom and Cinnamon, youre going to love it

Jerico was a picky eater and equally picky tea drinker.

--sounds good, lets order that

There wasnt really something to talk about.

Jerico hated talking about school.

Gigi hears jer sigh deeply with worry.

--whats up?

The djinn asked.

--its nothing really,im just missing my brother thats all..

He spends so much time going from desert to desert , and a very special holiday is coming up back at my home and I dont want to miss it,its usually celebrated with family and Friends...

--what is he after exactly?he sounds desperate as a djinn without their lamp

The dragon seems to chuckle and looks away--hes after the lamp of his ancestor... he was a djinn too

The tea arrives with some cupcakes to accompany them.

--maybe I can go with you to that holiday-- the djinn said-- you dont have to go alone

Jeri's eyes lit up-- would you go with me?

--Of course! When is it exactly?

--in three days

--do I have to wear anything in specific?

--no no..you dont have to maybe I can come up with something similar to what we wear , how do you feel about terra's style?

--oh, I really like it,the colours are too earthy for me but i gladly wear them for you

And her cheeks went red.

Jerico could only contain her giggles--that means a lot thanks gigi, ill talk with a friend see what I can get for you okay?

--ok --okay

And so evening goes by, the moon slowly makes her way up to the Sky.

--ill see you tomorrow then

--yeah, diesection class?

--Yeah, ill see you around gigi

And then jerico says something in a language she recognizes.

djinn tongue

Her cheeks heat up as she also says goodbye and makes her way back to home.

The Next couple of days went by quickly, and finally there they were, gigi looks in the mirror of jericos house,the outfit was a mix of djinn clothing and terran style.

She looked beautiful.

The djinn and the dragon walk side by side in the festival, lively music plays as the old terran women singed and told the tales of old.

Their hands brush togheter and shyly their fingers intertwine.

Both would be lying if they said they dont feel the chemistry between the two of them.

--oh you gotta hear this one

Jer tightens her grip on gigis hand and she runs towards one of the stages that were set up.

An old woman of wich jerico couldnt quite recognize but still seemed familiar started talking.

She was pale and with a long black hair , a scar across her left eye covered by her dark locks.

-- a long time now, there was a faery that lived in a willow tree.

She had hair like Fire, emerald eyes and a beautiful voice.

A young Man heard her singing, and followed the sound towards her.

For Many Many days he tried to court her, but nothing seemed to work.

The young Man, brought down her ancient tree, and took the faery out of her forest.

When she was far away just at the entrance of the Woods she collapsed and faded into a flower, that would Bloom for a bright eve.

The Man...understanding his greed called upon Ray, the god of providence, who made a pact with the goddes of life to bring back the faery and her tree in exchange for her soul.

The soul of the Man was embeded into the old willow,so he could stay with the faery to Keep her company....

This story show us that we dont realize what we have until we lose it,and that love is stronger than the gods themselves ...

Gigi looks at jerico who had her eyes sparkling with ilusion.

The djinn suddenly feels a tug on her stomach,as the dragon goes to get something to eat, she runs as the sensation of familiar magic strenghtens.

Another djinn was close.

She ran and ran until she found him.

Sitting alone in a corner.

--excuse me?

Gigi asked.

A Man looks up, its evident that genie blood coursed through his veins.

The same blood as hers.

--youre a genie too --the Man says -- I suppose youre gigi Grant, jerico told me about you

--jerico?...so youre her brother...her half djinn brother

--Im aajab halba, yeah, I am...have you seen her around?

--yeah actually im with her

--do you mind taking me to her?

--Not at all, this way

And so they walk in silence, not uncomfortable silence but rather familiar one, after all they were genies too.

--so jerico talks about me?what does she say?

Aajab chuckles and crosses his arms-- you havent realized by now?

--re realize what?

--oh come on,you know what im talking about, youre a genie too, you tellin me you dont have a crush on her?

Genies cant lie to eachother...Its too obvious even for them.

-- fine and what about it?

--she has a crush on you too,I know my sister damn well

--oh my Ra!

Jerico runs towards aajab hugging him tightly.

The Man hugs back

--مرحبا الهوام

(Hey rascal)

Jeris eyes water -- gv vcgizñe (I missed you)

--Me too me too...

--gigi hes aajab,my djinn brother

--Yeah we met--the Man says-- she brought me to you , anyway im hungry ill give you guys some privacy

The half djinn goes to a food stand.

--they have to kiss

A familiar voice says.

--Dont jinkx it Ray...

--thanks for bringing him to me gigi

Jer steps closer grabbing her hands.

-- no need to, I know terrans value family very high...and its nice to meet someone like me

--Its nice that I have met you

Both chuckle and press their foreheads togheter

--gv zom

--What does that mean?

--its terran for 'I love you'

Gigi is taken back for a bit before pressing her lips against jers.

Jerico hugs her waist holding her close.

--hungry?

Both meet the others gaze, breaking the hug while holding hands.

--yeah ,starving

--Oh let me show you this youre going to love it!

And so off they went to enjoy the festival.

Love above all,above the gods.

The Rush

It was sharp at midday when Medd texted; but it didn't take me a split second to know that it was a solid YES. Just had to check with Babymom if it was doable. She just had to sacrifice her salon chill session aka doable. Lol. So yeay; off me went to send le petite off, and to Wisma MBSA for the first time since that final night we were there together last two years. Hehe.

Met up with Medd for a bit in the parking lot. Inside Po. Me knew he needed that small chat amidst his craziest days. Medd's dad was just diagnosed with lung cancer. Stage 4. So now undergoing intense chemo. Some complications happened last Friday means he had to be under intensive care; and he has all the rights to insist to stay by le dad's side.

Then he asked me bout me new job, and me said me was not so sure anymore. Me told him about the political climates in me office. Medd just threw a small cynical giggle. Apparently, he knew Lil Dave. Little did me know, they used to work in the same company before, more than 10 years back before both joined Astro.

He was a prick since forever. He was so loud and ballsy but up to no real good, that their boss took him off the project he was producing - the biggest insult that could happen in our industry. That was clearly screaming "You can't do your fuckin job!" at your face.

Wow. Exactly what me thought; he was just being cocky about how he could lead the whole sea armada, while he had actually sank numerous ships. And there was no way me gonna stay in such ship.

Then at around 5pm liddat, me sat with Daus pulok. But me must have not realised how assured me have gotten after, getting to speak the same language with someone you technically grow up (career wise) together. Something me been missing much these days.

Me didn't really feel much at first. Didn't realise kot. But when suddenly someone asked me if I was bearing a good news or something because I was 'glittering' with smiles, me was like, "Erk? Was it that obvious?"

Then it stroke to me. And adrenaline and nervousness and triple heart beats and everything started to kick in. Everyone had been opening up like cray cray the moment me set my foot in there. Everything felt sooo familiar.

Damn.

Me was home.

Sweeeeeet home.

Me never felt so homely in quite some time. For the first time in months too, me knew exactly what me was doing, super surely; despite them saying that last night had the most number of items on the flow.

The rush in me was cray crayer than cray cray. In some discussions me was the usual participating me; while in some me was quiet and analysing. Honestly, in my head me was already scrutinising my career paths and calculating my financials.

Now. Let's talk about le plans that kept playing in my head thruout le nite. As of now, we would have a mini townhall meeting within our department with Jas. Me could feel, looking at all le signs, that she could be announcing Lil Dave as her successor to take care of our department in KL while she juggled between KL and Jakarta. It was so imminent.

And if my hunch was right (oh ya.. that too, me been missing), me could never see me working under him. Like me said, ours is an art for human; while he is too inhumane to do such art. So if she really announced that, me would leave immediately. That is for sure. But if he is not going to be there anymore (sent elsewhere tho with greater rank), we shall see.

If me was to stay, me would just come clean with Jas about me weekend GV plans (something me haven't gotten the chance to do just yet because of her busyness) and see if she is okay with it, which me seriously not sure if she is gonna be. If not, me have to figure out how to make up the extra couple o thousands for Babybear every month that me earning from le extra income me make from le current AVP seat. Some side jobs. Or some network marketing backup jobs that some strong company with strong products could offer me. Lol.

Oh by the way, me already hooked Medd up with Haza, so that he could help share le poor family with any product we can from 4Life. Hehe it is a we now hmm. Pray for me.. for us, baby?

And all these plans just kept running in my brain; gradually falling into places. All happened too rapidly, that at the end of the night when we lepak after the concert, me just knew.

If given the chance,which me am, me wanna stay at home.

And what made me so sure?

Nope. Not Medd. Not Daus. Not le homeliness. Not even Lil Devil Dave.

It was you, sayang.

Me could never be so sure without your words of encouragement, baby. Those few lines meant so much. Like me said, even just the first one was already enuf to set fireworks in me.

Because the person me gonna spend my life with, just gave le nod. Who else could me ask that from? What else do me need to be so sure? No matter what happens or gonna be announced tomorrow, me could go thru it with such a relief, knowing that you will always be by my side.

Thank you, Sayang.

She will be there, Jacko.

Me know.
