HUH YUNJIN x FEM!READER

Prompt: With Le Sserafim in New York and you coincidentally having a runway show, she makes the time to meet up with you

Warnings/Notes: G!p Yunjin, eventual smut, model reader, golden retriever Yunjin

“So I have a confession to make” Yunjin randomly blurts out during game night in some New York Hotel.

Sakura had just rolled the monopoly dice and took hold of her cat piece. “What is it?”

“You’re gay?” Eunchae sarcastically question, earning an eye roll from the American.

“We’ve established that already, yes, but no that’s not what I was gonna say”

“It better be worth pausing this Monopoly game because I am becoming richer by the second” Chaewon smirked and showed off her buildings in majority of the board.

“So I have a girlfriend” Yunjin breathed out, feeling the weight roll off her shoulders.

The red head doesn’t know why she felt the need to keep it a secret from her girls. It wasn’t like she was scared that they wouldn’t support her, it was more of the fact that she gets nervous about almost anything.

And Eunchae may also be a little of bit of a big mouth.

Once a small detail goes through the maknae’s ear, the whole kpop industry suddenly knows.

“Oh? Congratulations Yunjin!” Kazuha applauded excitedly, even giving her member a quick hug.

“I’m surprised you can even pull” Chaewon teased, feeling a wad of monopoly cash slapped in her face. “Ow!”

“Eat shit. Anyways, she’s super awesome~”

This particular side of Yunjin was an easy way for the members to bully her love struck puppy personality and Yunjin knew she wouldn’t be able to defend herself.

“What’s her name?” Eunchae was the one to ask, already planning on texting Kyujin about the news.

Yunjin fiddled with her fingers and giggled like a school girl. “Park Y/n”

All girls sat up on their knees with eyes wider than saucers. “WHAT???”

“THE MODEL?”

“THAT HOTTIE?”

“Kill yourself Yunjin, there’s no way you’re dating THE PARK Y/N”

Yunjin slapped Chaewon with the monopoly cash again, tired of her teasing. “If you don’t believe me, she’s having a runway show tomorrow night. You can come with if you’d like. She can get us front row seats”

The eyes have gone wider and jaws were dropped.

“FRONT ROW TICKETS TO A RUNWAY SHOW?!?!” Sakura jumped up and about, squealing so high that the windows shook.

“I’ll take that as a yes. I’ll message Y/n and let her know” Yunjin said with a smile.

“It’s a coincidence that you both are in New York right now” The leader hummed and took her turn in rolling the dice.

She did a small fist pump when it landed on a double 6.

“Yeah I know, I’m just as surprised as you are. I’m planning to take her out on a date here soon and even introduce her to my family”

“Awwww our Yunjinie is such a good girlfriend~” Sakura smirked and playfully shook the taller member around.

Kazuha did a small applause. “I can’t wait to see her on the runway!”

The following night of the said Runway Show…

“Yunjin can you sit still?” Chaewon had hissed.

Chaewon could’ve been louder but she’d make a total fool of herself in front of the entire audience as the show was going. Well, not much of a fool as Yunjin right now.

The red head was fussing about in her seat, trying her best to get a clear view of whenever your turn was.

Which was literally in a second.

As you began strutting down with you beautiful model face, Yunjin squealed and started shaking her sign around that read: ‘I LUV Y/N <3’

“Wooohooooo! Go baby! You look so beautiful! Oh wow yayyyyy!~”

The Le Sserafim girls looked at their American member in disbelief. Did she suddenly forget she was an idol too?

“Huh Yunjin just how unprofessional are you gonna get?! Give me that and sit still!!” Chaewon growled, snatching the poster from Yunjin.

“Whatever. My girlfriend’s turn is over anyways” The red head grumbled before pursing her lips and waiting for the rest of the show to finish.

It felt like hours for Yunjin, but within minutes you had your bag over your shoulder and approaching your girlfriend and her group.

“Bebby!~” Yunjin made grabby hands and ran to you like an actual puppy seeing its owner.

Which was not much of a surprise for anyone.

“Must you be so loud whenever I’m on the runway? Be professional next time” You scolded but also melted into your girlfriend’s embrace where her large hands rested on your small waist.

She was squishing her cheek against your head and slowly pulled back with imaginary flat guilty ears. Her boba eyes grew wider and your body melted further. It was hard trying to maintain your nonchalant personality when your girlfriend was this fricking cute.

“I’m sorry bebby. I couldn’t help it. You look so pretty…I mean you always look pretty hehe”

You tried to be annoyed by her unprofessionalism but your smirk ruined it.

And Yunjin’s abrupt peck to your lips. “Mwah! Love you bebby”

“Ugh Yunjin quit being a love sap and introduce us to your girlfriend” You heard Chaewon hiss from afar.

“Right. Bebby, this is Kim Chaewon, our leader. Her temper is as short as her height-OW!”

“Piece of shit” The short blonde gritted her teeth when she slapped the back of Yunjin’s head.

“This is Miyawaki Sakura, the eldest. Then there’s me, your cute adorable girlfriend. And then Nakamura Kazuha, our Samoyed”

“Samoyed?” You repeated in question with a smile.

“Apparently that’s how my personality is” Kazuha shrugged and grinned, letting you slowly see why she got the title.

“Last but not least our baby girl, Hong Eunchae! We spoil her with love”

You softly pinched the youngest’s cheek and smiled at her giggle. “Definitely deserves to be spoilt. It’s a pleasure to finally meet Le Sserafim” you spoke calmly.

“Congrats on your runway event Y/n, you looked beautiful” Kazuha complimented sweetly.

“Thank you Kazuha, I’m glad you liked it. Yunjin told me you’d all be in New York so I thought it would be nice to get you girls a gift” you said with a smile and your manager instantly appeared with 4 bags of designer items that you collaborated with.

“Oh wow these are limited edition! Thank you so much Y/n Unnie!” Eunchae squealed with eyes as bright as the sun.

You would’ve thought she was Yunjin’s sister from how big her smile was. “You’re welcome Eunchae. Enjoy your time in New York”

“I will Unnie, I really will!”

“I’ll be going out with Y/n tonight for our date, I’ve already informed Manager-nim” Yunjin quickly reminded to Chaewon specifically in hopes she wouldn’t go ballistic but the leader hummed and nodded anyways.

“No worries. We’ll get going now. Oh and Yunjin-ah” Chaewon quickly called.

Yunjin’s brow raised in curiosity. “Hm?”

“Don’t stay out too late okay? We got content to film”

Yunjin saluted like a dork. “Ay ay captain!”

“Idiot. Take care and it was lovely meeting you Y/n!”

You waved at the girls but could feel Yunjin’s puppy eyes on you again. “What are you staring at?”

“Just how beautiful my girlfriend is. I love you bebby” she said and kissed your temple.

“Ugh. I love you too. Now where are you taking me tonight hm? You look so handsome” you smirked up at her and adjusted her blue button up long sleeve which was open at the collar.

“It’s a surprise bebby. This night will be memorable”

Well Yunjin wasn’t technically lying when she said memorable. She took you to a beautiful Italian restaurant, then surprising you with a bouquet of roses, and finally taking you on a walk by the beach where the moon shined bright.

Of course it wasn’t gonna just end there.

Because now you found yourself riding your girlfriend’s big cock in your hotel room. Both of your clothes thrown somewhere you’d have to dig through later but right now you were focused on milking your sexy girlfriend and the way she was STILL looking at you with those boba eyes.

“F-Fuck, stop looking at me like that” you moaned.

“Mmm, can’t help it. My girl is just so pretty riding me”

Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as you clawed onto her shoulder harder, feeling the tip of her dick reach deeper into your pussy. “You drive me crazy, baby”

Not needing to say another word, Yunjin quickly admired the hickeys she scattered all over your neck and collarbones, then giving into her cravings of your lips. She made the kiss slow, letting her tongue work around yours and felt the movement of your hips falter.

But your tone got louder, shamelessly moaning into your girlfriend’s mouth that some of your saliva went down your chin.

“Tired, Princess?” She whispered into your mouth.

You nodded at her, being enough of a sign for Yunjin to lift you up and make you lay face first and ass up. You supported your balance by leaning on your elbows and looking back at your girlfriend who rubbed your ass and inserting her fat cock back inside your sopping cunt.

“A-Ah!”

“Always tight for me aren’t you, Y/n? My good girl”

You moaned into the sheets from the use of your name instead of her usual nickname for you. One of the things you loved so much about Yunjin was how different she was during sex. She can be vanilla if she wanted to, but Yunjin thought where the fun was in that?

She loved making you wither under her touch. Hearing you cry for her name and beg for her to please you in all the right ways.

“Mmhm right there baby!” You screamed at the inhumane pace Yunjin was going at, the slapping sounds echoing throughout the room (and probably even outside the entire hotel).

Yunjin towered her body over your back and trailed kisses at your jaw, feeling her smile against your skin. “Your pussy is sucking me in so nice, baby. Gonna fill it up with so much of my cum. You’d like that wouldn’t you?”

You nodded, clearly too tired to properly answer and the abrupt hold on your jaw made your eyes go wide. Yunjin squeezed your mouth open. “Open up and tongue out, darling”

Doing so, the red head spat on your tongue and forcefully closed your mouth before holding your throat. “Swallow.”

She hummed in satisfaction at your obedience, the knot in her stomach growing. “Hmm fuck, gonna cum Princess”

“Yes yes please cum in me, Yunnie” you mumbled with tears.

Yunjin was panting in your ear before releasing an aggressive groan, her hips snapping in a harsh but slower pace as she reached her peak. You felt the warm flood of cum fill your needy pussy to the brim, Yunjin then slowly pulling herself out to watch your creamy pussy leak.

“So hot” you exhaled, using two fingers to scoop the liquid and popping them into your mouth. “So tasty”

Yunjin guided you to lay your body down with your head on her chest, then pulling the covers over your sweaty bodies. She kissed your head and spent a few minutes helping you calm down by rubbing circles on your back. “You okay, bebby?”

“Yeah. We haven’t fucked in so long, I almost passed out”

“I missed you so much, bebby. Sorry we haven’t been going out lately”

You shook your head and placed multiple kisses on your girlfriend’s face. “Don’t apologise, my love. We still call all the time so just hearing your voice brings me satisfaction”

Yunjin smiled at your words. “Did you want to join us tomorrow? We won’t show your face on the cameras. As long as I’m with you, I don’t care about anything else”

“You know I have a photoshoot tomorrow, babe and plus I think your fans will go on a killing spree if they see us together”

Yunjin pouted. “I won’t let them touch you, bebby. I’ll use my magic force field to protect you”

You laughed into her neck and pinched her sides. “You’re such a dork”

“A dork you’re super in love with, am I right?” She wiggled her eyebrows.

“Yes. A dork I’m super duper in love with”

SimPe tutorial: How to fix the height setting of CC chandeliers (The Sims 2)

A few years ago, @hugelunatic released a fix for the chandelier added to the game with M&G. Originally, the light cast by the chandelier illuminated the floor level above the lamps, not below them. That mod, however, does not affect custom 2-story lights, which need to be adjusted individually. This is a quick, easy tutorial to do just that.

1. Open the mesh .package file in SimPe;

2. Select "Resource Node (CRES)" in the Resource Tree menu and open the item shown under Resource List;

3. Make sure "Plugin View" is enabled (bottom menu of SimPe);

4. In the "Content" tab, open the "Blocklist" drop-down menu and select the line "cLightRefNode";

5. Select the tab "cTransformNode";

6. In the panel displayed, on the first column (named "Translation"), change the value of "Z" to a number that matches the height of the lamp mesh you're editing.

NOTE: For 2-story lights that sit on the same height as Maxis' chandelier, the value that I used was 1,521330 (taken from HugeLunatic's mod). For CC lights of a different height, you might want to try different values, according to your personal preference.

7. Click "Commit" and save.

_______________________________

For my own game, I edited two custom lights using the same height value ("Z") that HugeLunatic did for the M&G chandelier (1,521330) . I'm not sharing them here because both creators are still active, but I'm tagging them in case they wish to update their files. They are:

@lordcrumps' "Slightly Off Track Lighting", from his 4t2 Industrial Loft Kit; and

@limonaire's conversion of Industrisim's 2-story industrial chandelier.

Not needed, but RECOMMENDED: HugeLunatic's fix of Maxis' chandelier.

YŪGEN; THE SHOWCASE

Korea's Tiger, Himari, has established herself as an incredible solo artist through an emotion filled concert that left the industry wanting more in the future

January 14, 2025 (6:15PM)

Insomniac is the term used in reference to individuals who often have difficulty finding sleep and has been used as the title of Himari's recently released extended play as the tracks contained in this heart breaking solo debut speak on the extensive mental health issues that have led to this condition. Undisclosed health concerns have delayed the showcase ticketing yet with the temporary conclusion of the group's Japan schedule, Jangchung Gymnasium was able to host the maknae's very first solo performance on January 13th.

Attendees immediately took to social media to inform those unable to attend that the young woman's raw stage presence left them in tears - pictures capturing the large screen uploaded later that night clearly showed those same tears almost glimmering under the bright lights rolling down her own cheeks. Himari's position as lead vocalist lets the audience hear an entrancing steadiness in her angelic voice, but through these emotional verses it went through phases that could be compared to grief; breaking, changing the flow, laced with choked back sobs, and overall heavy compared to its usual seeming weightlessness.

The lyrics are clear mirrors of memories that have broken the maknae over time as it was noticed that when the last note rang out, Himari looked emotionally drained, ending the painful stage slumped over the microphone stand with long raven black hair covering what many imagine to be a sorrowful expression. In order to lighten the heavy emotional silence settled onto the audience, the young woman interacted rather closely with attendees during the interlude prior to shedding the tear streaked clothing and performing unofficial songs that have only been released on the group's YouTube channel.

The Setlist; Intro; 00:01. Paranoia. AM 4:44. Wake Me Up (ft T.O.P). Interlude; Tear. Outro; Rockstar. Shadow. Interlude (Ment). Take Me Back To Eden. Nobody Knows (unreleased). Want (unreleased). Blinded Red (unreleased). Addict. Ending Ment

Yūgen was chosen to be the title as it is a concept that influences various Japanese arts such as performing arts, literature, painting, etc., and is widely translated into 'mysterious profundity', refering to the beauty that can be sensed in an object. It refers to the beauty which lingers with someone when coming across an art form; in this case these tracks hold such charm due to the fact that each person is able to imagine the past that has influenced these lyrics, the struggles that the vocalist went through for every note to be created.

The Industry Itself Came To Support Their Holy Maknae

Choi Seunghyun also known under the stage name T.O.P, who has not been active in the music industry since 2022 following the release of Still Life with ex-group BIGBANG, made a temporary return through their joint track. The two share none of the other's pain nor history yet the emotions conveyed through Wake Me Up resonated in their own hearts and whether this comes from the numerous weeks spent side by side is unknown, but what can be said for sure is that despite the artists having never interacted prior to this project they have created one of the most harmonious chemistries between two generations.

Taemin, the young woman's mentor of four years, was given special balcony seating which was proudly shown to fans through numerous social media posts and later endeared the internet by fawning over his precious producer after the showcase. G-Dragon on the other hand made a much more discrete appearance aside from one singular picture sharing the carefully crafted nametag attached to his headrest, many suspecting that something is amiss since the five part series 'unmute' was released as he joked that had Taemin not made her his protégée already, he would have done so.

There are certain seniors that have marked the audience at the end of the night by bowing deeply to their much younger junior as this show of respect seemed to hold so much more meaning than simple recognition; Yoongi, T.O.P, G-Dragon and Taemin. While three idols folded their bodies into ninety degree bows to convey their deep respect for the vocalist's incredible talent and likely to give their blessings towards her taking a seat alongside the history makers of the industry, her older brother was on his knees - a type of bow used to demonstrate the utmost respect or apology.

Theories have been circulating regarding the true meaning behind the rapper's gesture as he was seen in an almost grieving state during the track 'Interlude; Tear' that is speculated to discuss the maknae's destructive relationship with someone attempting to take their life - though neither of these things have been officially confirmed. It is reported that attendees seated next to the artist balcony have seen the vocalist's biological brother offering this same bow, and considering that she broke down into tears after catching sight of this there is likely burdened history between the siblings.

The Guestlist Included; ATEEZ. Stray Kids. BTS. Hanzo. Mingyu, Wonwoo, S.Coups, Hoshi, Dino and DK (SEVENTEEN). Jihyo, Momo, Sana and Jeongyeon (TWICE). Bibi. Hwasa. Minho (SHINee). Cha Eunwoo, Sanha (ASTRO). Zico. BOYNEXTDOOR. Xikers. And more

The Emotions Come Crashing Down

Limited footage showing backstage interactions with other artists have been made available to the public and as usual it was the ones between the siblings that caught the most attention, especially when netizens noted the difference between each reunion. Hanzo, who has been living in another continent due to his contract with a foreign football team, immediately engulfed the young woman in a tight embrace before spinning the two of them around with pure happiness, seemingly unable to stop himself from leaving numerous kisses on her cheeks much to his sister's whining protest. Yoongi on the other hand, who has been away to complete mandatory military service, seemed much more solemn when he wrapped strong arms around her with so much care that it would seem she would break should he hold on any tighter - letting Himari bury her unreadable face in his chest.

The maknae's bandmates made much more noise when entering the secured area, holding the cake they previously filmed themselves purchasing to show their fans adorned with sparklers that matched the bright shine in her eyes at the moment. Mingi, the lead rapper that officially revealed his romantic relationship with her last summer on accident, cradled his girlfriend's cheek, securing her smaller body with the other hand on her hip, and pressed their lips together under the loud cheers of their members. Every single one of them was wearing some semblance of merch designed at the hands of their captain, their precious youngest's name etched in some form on their outfits as each held lightsticks customized to look like tigers.

Taemin entered holding the ever so symbolic bouquet of flowers present at each of the young producer's achievements, rambling on about the pride felt throughout this showcase while petting her very disheveled hair. T.O.P was the last senior with whom interactions were shown and it seems that the artists have come to stand on close ground with one another as they too shared an, albeit somewhat brief, embrace and exchanged a few words silenced by editors with bright smiles on their features.

Xikers, despite each member being taller than the young woman, all ran to hug their producing senior and very nearly crushed her in a sea of large bodies while shouting out congratulatory words, almost forgetting to bow in their excitement until Wooyoung scolded their poor juniors. BoyNextDoor, who the vocalist has been producing for since their first extended play, were much more shy when approaching her - except for their leader who has been seeking out mentorship from their senior for some time now - and had to practically push one another to decide who was going to ask for a picture, which she signed at their request.

ATEEZ's Tiger Cub Does Not Seem So Small Anymore

Himari has been producing breathtaking tracks to be used by other artists for six years now, as even group releases showcase their vocal unity rather than each member's individual sound, and used this much more intimate venue to bare her soul to fans that have been wanting to hear her own voice since the immense success of the track 'Shadow'. The intense pain plaguing the vocalist's past was turned into shattering tracks that were perfectly delivered through hypnotizing stage presence that will likely linger in the minds of those present in the venue for the remainder of the year, and which has certainly cemented her place amongst industry royalty.

chapter 7: MAMA awards

a/n: I know the mama awards were way after the release of armageddon but time is inconsistent just like me.

With the arrival of the mama awards the whole industry was a mix of excitement and determination. It was like graduation day for some and a total nightmare for others.

One of these people was Y/N. Her biggest problem wasn't being able to remember the choreography or lyrics, but being face to face with a certain Korean girl.

Her worries didn't fade at all since Danielle told her that she had talked to her manager to make sure Newjeans and aespa were sitting together, which of course they were.

Bouncing her leg due to stress, Y/N couldn't shake off the anxiety that was eating her up from the inside; a reassuring hand made her come back to reality as it squeezed her knee.

“It's going to be alright, you'll do amazing” The voice of her leader, Karina, was a whisper in the van carrying them, but not enough to actually calm her nerves.

“The performance is the last of my worries, it's another thing…”

“Minji?” The question caught the attention of Giselle who was sitting next to Karina.

“Again with that name, I thought we wouldn't talk about her.”

“Gigi she—”

“Hurt you? Yes! I don't get why you keep defending her actions. She wronged you deeply and you're still into her.” Giselle's annoyed and high pitched words reverberated into the vehicle, creating a temporary silence.

Y/N expected a reaction like that, after that girls night they had in her room the members knew all about the accident and the aftermath of their “little” fight. Minji wasn't a saint, but Y/N wouldn't depict her as the villain of the story either.

“You don't know her like I do. She wouldn't hurt me for no reason.”

“Then why didn't she text you again?”

“I left her on read”

“And?? You were best friends, she should know how to start a conversation with you.”

Y/N hated how right Giselle was, no matter how she tried to convince herself that Minji had been busy, the voice in the back of her head was well aware of the situation.

Lost in the conversation and drama the girls didn't notice they finally arrived at the destination.

As they posed for photos and asked interviewers’ questions, Y/N took the opportunity to scan the crowd of people near the red carpet. Many groups were getting out of their cars, she spotted some members of (G)I-DLE, and waved at Yuqi from afar who waved back smiling.

“Where are they?” Thought Y/N to herself, impatiently tapping her foot on the ground while scanning the crowd for the fifth time.

From left to right, her eyes moved across the unknown and known faces of her colleagues, until they landed on her.

“She’s gorgeous” muttered Y/N, the fondness evident in her tone and expression, her heart beating like crazy. She felt seventeen again, looking for Minji in the school cafeteria, but this time she couldn't go to her even if her brain was yelling to do so.

The moment ended when she was tapped on the shoulder and dragged to the main room by Minjeong, too eager to sit down.

“I called you 6 times, did you become deaf?”

“No, but I got blinded by Minji’s lethal face card”

Minjeong slapped the back of her head, urging her to stay silent — “Don’t say it too loudly, we’re surrounded by paparazzi and fans.” Indeed, the place was a mix of flashes, loud cheers and music.

“What’s a face card anyway?”

❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆❅❆

After the acceptance speech of their third award, aespa got back to their seats. Y/N was ready for Danielle to hit her shoulder while bouncing on her own chair, telling her how proud she was to have such an amazing and talented friend, but her hopes shattered when she saw that the infamous Kim Minji switched seats with Dani.

Keeping her poker face on, Y/N followed her members and went to sit back in her spot.

“Congratulations” Minji whispered, earning a nod as a response. Y/N didn’t hear her at all due to the shouting coming from the crowd, but she saw her lips moving. A reaction was needed to avoid drama and scandals.

Minji furrowed her eyebrows in disappointment, thinking Y/N was ignoring her on purpose.

Not wanting to give up the interaction, the girl had enough courage (for once) to reach for Y/N’s hand. Startled, the other quickly turned around with wide eyes making Minji laugh a bit.

“Congratulations” — “Sorry for leaving you on read” They both talked at the same time, silencing themselves completely.

“Thank you” Spoke first the winner (conan gray reference?), her eyes fighting to not look at Minji’s lips.

“First, it's fine. Second, you deserved it, Supernova was so catchy Hyein couldn’t stop playing it" Minji took a deep breath, she was talking fast almost too fast. Was she nervous? Why would she be nervous? — "In the car, in the shower, while taking a walk. She’s obsessed with aespa, but mostly with you. It’s scary.”

“And are you not?”

“Obsessed with aespa?”

“With me, silly.”

“You wish” Said the older girl with a roll of her eyes, her heart beating faster at the teasing words. She didn’t notice how their hands were still intertwined until Y/N squeezed hers.

“Can’t argue with that.”

2024 New Music Releases I Loved

It's that time of year again! Here's the list I've kept all year of brand new music that I adored throughout 2024, so nobody can tell you that there’s no new alternative music or that alternative music genres are dead. There is SO much good shit; this year has radically altered my music listening with the innumerable mind blowing releases. And realistically I’m well aware that this is barely even beginning to scratch the surface. This is just the stuff I personally listened to, but I know I’m missing TONS of stuff.

Purple text means it was a favorite of the year, but that doesn't mean I don't love the non-purple ones (they wouldn’t be listed if I didn’t recommend them!). It just means I haven't spent as much time with them, and/or they didn't shape my year in quite the same way as the purple ones did :)

July 31: Catherine Moan — Angeles (synthpop)

August 9: Dildox — Devilish (EBM, darkwave)

August 22: Madeline Goldstein — 1996 Expectations (darkwave, synthpop)

August 22: Pixel Grip — Stamina (industrial pop, EBM)

September 4: Safe Mind — 6’ Pole (dark electronic)

September 12: clipping. — Run It (industrial hip hop/rap)

September 13: Lower Tar — Rat King (industrial techno)

October 4: ACTORS — Object of Desire (post punk, darkwave)

November 12: clipping. — Keep Pushing (industrial hip hop/rap)

December 6: Male Tears — Little Doll (synthpop, italo disco)

And finally, my personal top five albums of the year out of all of these:

5: CD Ghost's Vignette II — Dreamy, bright, and so nostalgic while still sounding very very now. Just kind of a perfect EP to be honest. "Constellations" is one of my favorite songs to come out this entire year.

4: tassel's A SACRIFICE: UNTO IDOLS — Like no other. I was able to witness one of the best shows I've ever seen, period. from this band earlier this year. So much style, coolness, and energy, with a fresh, heavy sound. Literally nobody is doing it like them. Meshing classic gothic rock, industrial, and power noise into one unrelenting nightmare album.

3: Profit Prison's GILT— Sleeper hit favorite for me. I had never even heard of Profit Prison until this year but this album is just so good from start to finish. Fallen asleep to it on long bus rides numerous times; it somehow has both a fun high energy quality and a sort of wistful melancholy. Super timeless, consistent, and pretty. Kinda can't get enough of it.

2: IAMX's Fault Lines2 — Was waiting for this one and it did not disappoint. I will fucking die on the hill that Chris Corner's recent outputs have been some of the best of his entire career. With irregular beats, heaviness, experimentation, modular synth, some of his best vocal performances, this album has, like, everything. "Neurosymphony" was my most listened to song this year, and "Infinite Fear Jets" and "Conflict Medication" are also two of my favorite things to come out of this year. But really, the whole album is just to die for. Incredible work as ALWAYS.

1: TR/ST's Performance — Album of the year. Performance is a perfect album. You kind of just need to hear it for yourself, start to finish, to believe it. A perfectly captured snapshot of the very end of a doomed relationship and all of the heartbreak, grief, relief, and regret that follow. I kind of don't have much else to say on this one. Experience it for yourself. TR/ST's magnum opus. Angel told me to say it's his Norman Fucking Rockwell!. The best single album to come out of this year for me. Instant classic in every way.

#now nobody better release some good shit in the last 2 days of the year lmaoo 😭

I Found a Doctor Who RPG Sourcebook and I'm Making It Your Problem

Actually, I found several. It seems that there is a sort of Doctor Who tabletop RPG with sourcebooks for each Doctor that include ready-made character sheets for the Doctors, companions, and major players in each televised story.

I could look into all of them, if I really wanted to, but the thing is, my computer is nearly a decade old, slowly dying on me, and hates screenshots, so taking and storing a fuckton of screenshots of absolutely everything isn't something I can do. So, I'm just pulling a few interesting bits from the Second and Fifth Doctor Sourcebooks. There's no structure to this beyond me thinking "I wonder what their character sheet looks like".

So, the Second Doctor stuff is not much at all. I got the Doctor himself.

I should probably note that I don't have much experience with tabletop RPGs, and none with this one in particular, so I only half know how to read these. This screenshot isn't even very good. I'm working off a free site with a terrible zoom function and I couldn't get the whole thing. The basics are that characters have a set of six Stats, a bunch of Skills, some traits that give them special strengths and weaknesses, and some basic character information. The Second Doctor's got a lot of stuff, some of which even gets explained.

I've deduced that there's probably a separate manual for the basics of how the game works, what the Stats mean, what the Skills do, etc. So a lot of Why These Numbers Are What They Are questions go unanswered.

Any way, this screenshot sucks so much that I can't bare the sight of it any longer, so we're moving on to the next one. Here's Jamie:

Wow! You can actually see things this time.

Most of the stat numbers don't go above 5, from what I can tell. So we can assume that Jamie's strongest stats are Coordination, Presence, and Strength, without any stat being too weak.

The skills are more mixed.

Athletics most likely refers to physical skills, Convince is persuasion, Craft is making stuff, I think, Fighting needs no explanation, Knowledge is...well...knowing stuff, Marksman is shooting/throwing accuracy, Medicine is obviously medical knowledge, Science is...look a lot of these seem like special subcategories of knowledge that are self-explainatory, Subterfuge I think covers "rogue skills" like spying and lock-picking, Survival is the sort of things Boy Scouts learn probably, Technology is computers and technobabble, Transport is driving and the like.

So, when it comes to strengths, Jamie is physically fit, but can't swim. He is very good at fighting because he's a male companion in the 60s that that was like at least 75% of their job. Marksman is apparently based in knife-throwing ability. Subterfuge...well, if you've seen The Enemy of the World, Jamie is actually a pretty good spy.

As for weaknesses, Jamie knows nothing about any STEM field.

There's also a little number for Technology Level. I've seen this number go as high as 7, but the 18th and 19th century characters seem to be placed at a 4. I didn't get a screenshot but Victoria is the same, despite the whole Industrial Revolution thing.

Then we've got some personality traits and such that effect things. Jamie apparently gets points for being attractive and brave, as well as for being accepted anywhere in time and space no matter what he's wearing. There's really not a whole lot to analyze here.

Now, the entire reason I did Second Doctor stuff was because the villains get character sheets and I wanted to see Salamander's. I added the Doctor and Jamie to pretend I had any other reason to be there.

I took this screenshot without using the zoom and it looks pretty good actually.

It turns out that those skill numbers can go above 5 as Salamander scores a 6 in Ingenuity and Presence, as well as a 5 in Resolve. Almost all of his stats are pretty high. As an RPG villain, he's a boss fight.

Instead of a full chart of skills, which only Doctors and Companions get, Salamander just gets a list. His higher points here are Convince at 5, Knowledge at 4, Subterfuge at 5, and Technology at 5. Convince and Subterfuge are his more manipulative skills as a politician, while Knowledge and Technology are because he did, in fact, invent the technology he got popular for inventing. His Tech Level, at a 5, is somewhere between Jamie and Victoria, and some of the more futuristic aliens. That does make sense for the early 21st century, even a slightly more high-tech 21st century than the one that actually happened.

As for Traits, a lot of them give him bonus skills that are actually explained, such as the ability to invent gadgets, resist mind control, menace people into doing what he wants and get even bigger bonuses in Technology and Convince situations, being a tech genius for his time period and a respected authority figure.

So, cool stuff.

The Fifth Doctor stuff I got is a bit more extensive. We'll start with the Doctor himself.

The good news is that it's a full screenshot. The bad news is that it's very hard to read. We can see a very high Ingenuity stat, because he's the Doctor. There's a Tech Level 10, because I'm guessing that's Level Time Lord.

I do have enough info to compare his Skill number to the Second Doctors.

Athletics has risen from 1 to 4 because of all the cricket. Convince drops from a 5 to a 3, because nobody listens to Five while Two was fairly good at getting people to listen to him. Fighting has risen from absolute 0 to 2, which isn't much but it's literally something. You can see a lot of numbers improve slightly as the Doctor has learned more things over time, like Medicine going from 1 to 3.

I actually looked over four different companions this time. We'll go in order of introduction. Here's Adric.

His Tech Level is confusing in the blurry screenshot. But, as for other stuff, his fast healing and ability to control the TARDIS a little are noted, though the reality warping of Block Transfer Computation isn't because it's too damn complicated and has it's own system.

Adric's skills in general are pretty low, but they don't seem to be too unfair. These sourcebooks started coming out around 2013, when the fandom's aggressive Adric hatred had started to wind down, possibly as people realized that all the season 19 companions had writing problems and the confused performances you often get with confused writing, but Tegan and Nyssa stuck around longer so improvements could be made, and Big Finish started doing damage control with them earlier on, especially in Nyssa's case.

I'm actually surprised Adric's Athletics score is as high as it is. His Science score being only a 3 and Knowledge 2 confused me at first, but when I thought about it, it a makes sense. Adric knew a lot about mathematics but basically nothing anything else, even other STEM fields. Nyssa had to tell him what photosynthesis is, which I learned in elementary school science classes. Between this extreme focus on a single subject, lack of socials skills, and somewhat stilted speech and movement, I think I like Adric as much as I do because all this stuff feels like autism and I was an autistic teenager when I first saw him.

He also gets good Subterfuge skills because he can pick locks, do sleight of hand tricks, and overall has a good skill set that was rarely put to use.

And now, Nyssa:

Tech Level 7 explains where Traken is. We'll get to compare several different planets I guess.

Nyssa gets a higher science stat, with an emphasis on biochemistry. She has a more diverse STEM skill set than Adric. Other than that, I don't have much to report here. The fact that she's upper class seems to affect her ability to interact with people who aren't. As you will see, Turlough somehow isn't given this problem despite it being more obvious with him than with Nyssa.

But before that, there's Tegan.

Technology level 5 for the 1980s. These tech levels seem to cover a lot of historical ground. 1746 and 1866 are both in 4 and 1980 and 2018(futuristic version) are both in 5. I wonder what separates these levels from one another.

Tegan is considered fairly ordinary, not a fighter like Jamie nor a scientist like Nyssa, so her stats are kinda bad. Looking at her traits, her skills seem to include running and screaming, with points off for being impulsive, argumentative, and loud. I don't think the people who wrote this liked Tegan very much.

Anyway, of course there's Turlough.

Trion is apparently Tech Level 7, the same as Traken. So that turned out to not be very interesting.

His main strengths are in Convince and Technology. He can half-understand the TARDIS at times and appears to be good at lying to people. The fact that he doesn't get running and screaming in his traits and Tegan does is sexism. He also gets to be charming, though not attractive like Nyssa or Tegan. Men can get this trait, since Jamie did. I think he's commonly seen as average-looking.

Also the fact that he's seen as lucky with all the shit he went through is hilarious.

Finally, as a bit of a bonus, Captain Wrack from Enlightenment has a character sheet. How do you even make stats for an Eternal?

Many of her stats are surprisingly low for basically a low-level god. Though she's got a high Knowledge score and a Tech Level of 12, since Eternals go beyond Time Lords, though it's more power than technology with them, isn't it? Do we just not know how to factor this in?

So when it comes to these tech levels:

18th-19th century Earth = 4

20th-21st century Earth = 5

Traken and Trion = 7

Time Lords = 10

Eternals = 12

That's all I got for now. I hope you enjoyed this bit of fussing over meaningless numbers.

Head-cannons about Ai’s relationship with her kids if she lived.

Ai and Ruby;

Not only was Ai a young mother anyway, but Ruby is born with memories of a past life, so they’re both near each other in maturity so they’re really close to each other. They’re more like sisters.

Because they’re at a similar maturity level they kind of grow up and mature together.

They do all sorts of things together friends would do, like movies, shopping, cafe trips etc.

Ruby idolises Ai, but as she grows older she starts to realise more of her flaws/human side.

Due to her abandonment issues with her last mother, Ruby can be quite clingy.

Both of them bond over idols, talking about songs, costumes, camera choices.

When Ai is ready to graduate from being an idol she worries she is letting Ruby down (even though she probably has an acting job lined up).

Ai supports Ruby’s dream of being an idol, but worries about her a lot/is protective of her because the industry can be seedy. It’s only then that Ai realised how much pressure and lack of protection she had as a kid, and reflects on how bad her own childhood truly was.

Ai initially worried Ruby would be friendless like she was, but is happy that Ruby can make friends easily.

Ai wonders how she could have a daughter who can love and make friends easily.

Ai seemed to get targeted a lot by other girls/women out of jealousy over her looks growing up. She worries the same will happen to Ruby because they look so similar and is confused when it doesn’t. It contributes to Ai’s negative beliefs about herself that her personality brought on the bullying.

But also, Ai finally realised how fucked up her own mother is for being jealous over Ai’s looks instead of protective, which is how Ai feels about Ruby.

Maybe when Ruby gets older she gets frustrated with Ai’s inability to have a serious conversation/tendency to make light of everything. but this is something they work through and understand each other better.

When Ai tried to help Ruby with her homework, they both just end up choreographing a new routine and Aqua has to keep them on track.

Ruby feels bad for hiding her past-life memories from Ai, but worries that Ai will think she’s weird/lying if she tells her.

From the age of 12, Ruby keeps trying to convince Ai to be an Idol duo with her, but Ai thinks she’s too old (at the ripe old age of like, 28).

They do perform on stage together at one point and it goes super viral.

Aqua.

Given that Aqua has the memories of a 30-something, sometimes he acts more like the parent.

Since she didn’t die and he didn’t get his trauma, Aqua is a lighter character in general and his sarcastic sense of humour is more evident.

From the age of about 6, Aqua is in charge of budgeting for the household (they only get fancy ice cream if Ai had a lot of extra jobs that month!)

Definitely the voice of reason in the house.

Sometimes Ai feels guilty and that she relies on him too much for practical things.

Although Aqua has his adult memories, he’s still a kid in many ways, but gets embarrassed over wanting normal kid things like a hug off his mum.

Instead of researching his mother’s killer, Aqua gets really into researching past-lives.

Because he’s so much more mature than Ruby, he struggles making friends with kids his own age till highschool. Ai worries he’s going to be an antisocial loner like her, especially because he’s not super affectionate for a kid.

Aqua gets on okay with other kids, but feels a bit alienated at times due to the maturity difference. He still spends a lot of the time with director and maybe would become good friends with Ichigo.

He really gets into acting and enjoys it. Maybe gets a bit of fame. He probably ends up acting alongside Kana a few times through childhood.

Ruby and Ai tease him for secretly being into idols (he says he only likes B Komachi, aka Ai).

He’s protective over both Ai and Ruby, but not to the degree of the original time line.

Generic;

Ai worries that once Ruby and Aqua get old enough to understand her better they’ll stop loving her like everyone else does.

Ai is a really good mother but tends to focus on her short-comings.

Ai introduces herself as the twin’s older sister or cousin to strangers. But she’s always really happy in circumstances she can openly call herself their mother.

Being a mother makes Ai realise how terrible her own childhood really was.

The Deinotherium from Paris Avant les Hommes. Why does it look like a giant mole? Well, turns out this is reasoned out within the text, and since at least one person wanted to know it here it is (any translation errors are mine). @glarnboudin hope this answers all your questions!

...

"Since we are on the chapter of singular animals, I shall let you see another one from the quaternary epoch, whose history is no less strange. It shall serve as an introduction to antediluvian mammals, although it belongs, I believe, to the molasse which, according to Beudant, succeeded the Parisian chalk wherever it is missing. Look, there it is showing up; but it disappeared behind that hillock. Let's see, let us sit beneath this tree and it might come back. In the meantime, let us chat".

"Parbleu, I recognized it perfectly: it is the dinotherium giganteum. I had seen in the Rue Vivienne, its bones shown to the public for a bit of money, for scientists have to be industrious, one way or another, to avoid dying of hunger. Whatever the case, they showed me an enormous fossil head, 1.30 meters long and 1 meter wide, that is to say bigger than the biggest Indian elephants. It had two tusks located, against all analogy of what we know of animals alive or fossil, not in the upper jaw, but in the lower; not in the place of the canines, but in the place of the incisors; not pointing skyward, but lowered towards the ground; not sticking out of the mouth, but emerging from two holes that had to have been in the lower lip. Truly, I said to myself, this is enough to embarrass a wiser man than I, and, after many contradictory thoughts for half an hour, I finally took a side. Well, I said to myself, the die is cast: despite all my misgivings, one must have to make of this dinotherium giganteum a walrus or a seal, like Mr. Buckland said; or an elephant, as presumed Mr. de Blainville; a tapir or a pangolin, as G. Cuvier wrote; or a whale, as some German paleontologists think, and yet these animals have no analogy among them. Let's see, let's decide, I said to myself: this shall be…"

"A mole", said the genie in a small, acerbic, and mocking voice, and accompanied these words with a long peal of laughter that disconcerted me.

"A mole! But good sir, a mole hasn't the least connection, the least resemblance with a tapir, a whale, an elephant; and what would the authors I just cited say of this?"

"Your authors can say what they want; but I shall insist that the carcass that you had seen was that of a mole".

"That's impossible! See, here are the engravings they gave me at the door, judge for yourself".

The devil put his walking stick between his legs, put his glasses on his nose, took my images with his thumb and the other fingers of his left hand; then, running the index finger of his right hand on the figure representing the animal's head, he said:

"And first of all, my dear scholar, you will see that this head is 1 meter 60 centimeters at its greatest length, and 92 centimeters wide; so therefore it could not be less than 1.32 m long and 1 meter wide when it was covered with muscle and skin. But the average size of the head of a mammalian quadruped is at least a quarter of the length of its body. The dinotherium therefore was at least 5 to 6 meters long, which equals the size of the largest elephants. I am being conservative in choosing those dimensions; and I suppose that this carcass found on the banks of the Rhine by Professor Klipstein is not the biggest dinotherium the species provided, which is more than probable, since we have a few other fragments that are proportionally larger, and which suggest that the animal keeping us busy must have been longer than 6 meters".

"And you conclude from there that it should have been a mole?"

"One moment! Notice the enormous cavity destined to receive the bones of the nose".

"Yes, of the trunk".

"Who said anything about a trunk? Where do you see a trunk?"

"Scientists..."

"Why do you want to see a trunk instead of a nose? Take the skeleton of a pig or that of a mole, you will find at the same place enormous muscle impressions. Would you then conclude that the pig or the mole has a trunk? So the dinotherium has a nose, but a long nose, mobile, thick, powerful, good for searching in the earth; in short, a mole's nose. Do you deny that? Is it more unrealistic that an animal has a nose like any other animal's, than to have an anomaly instead?"

"It is true that by coldly calculating probability, one must believe more easily in analogies than anomalies, this seems more logical; but a mole!"

"Notice, my dear, that the orbits or holes of the eyes are extremely small in comparison to those of all known animals, and that they do not close in the posterior part; and, in fact, why would the dinotherium have eyes proportionally larger than those of a mole since, having to live in the darkness of a subterranean home, these organs would have been no more use to it than to the mole. As animals who are forced to push soil in front of them and by digging with their head, the frontal bones are short, but strong and very thick; the face of the occiput, of great dimension, forms with them a 130-140 degree angle, which you only see in whales. The prodigious muscles that move this colossal head gave it crushing strength. The chrysochlore, or Cape golden mole (talpa asiatica, L.) alone can offer you some analogy with the dinotherium in this aspect. You conceive that an animal forced to fray itself an underground passage, three or four meters in diameter, will need that prodigious strength in the neck muscles, strength that can conly compare, as I said, with that of a whale. And despite that it must have often encountered obstacles, stones, tree roots, despite living in the soft and deep soils, and the earth that the rivers, such as the Rhine, and the great flows of water carry and accumulate with the centuries in the basins that they run through and inundate every year. It would have been stopped dead in its tracks if nature had not given it a pickaxe to tear out those obstacles. This pickaxe, there it is: these are the tusks emerging from the lower jaw and directed earthward. They resemble, my word, those forked hoes that vineyard-keepers use in rocky or freshly cleared earth. There, look, they must have had terrifying strength, if we can judge by the deep depressions carved in the temporal bones to lodge the muscles that moved and directed the lower jaw. Besides, these tusks or teeth offered, relative to their shape, and especially in the place that they occupy, an example of a structure unique in all creation”.

“As for its other teeth”, added the demon, pointing his finger at the figure depicting them, “you will see that they are five in number. The first is cutting at its anterior part, the third has three hills, and the other two; from that one must conclude that the animal lived on roots, rhizomes, and tubers that lived underground. But, I ask you, what good would a trunk be for it? It would have certainly been a hindrance, and that is all”.

“I concede that this head is very good for digging in the ground, but that does not prove that the animal lived underground”.

“Let us examine the other fragments”, said the genie. “The scapula is long, narrow, and looks entirely like that of a mole. Observation has proven that all animals who have it in this shape use their forelegs in constant, painstaking motions, requiring great muscular strength. Thus this form of scapula, rare in mammals, is very common in birds, because the latter need great wing strength to remain aloft.

Now on to the second phalange of the front foot. You will notice that the articular facet of this bone is completely different from that of other animals. As an indispensable result of this very superficial articulation, the dinotherion could not walk on the tips of its fingers, and it would have to drag itself on the exterior edges of the hand, like the mole. This last animal is still is still the only one that presents in this phalange an analogy of form with our fossil monster”.

But here is an even more conclusive fragment; it is the first phalange, or inguinal phalange of this same front foot. Look how it is deeply notched in its anterior part. This incision exists in mammals only in three kinds of animals, all three of which dig in the ground and live in burrows; it gives their claws the prodigious strength that they need. The pangolin, the chrysochloris or Cape mole, and the common mole are the only living animals that have the same conformation, and, remarkably in the mole, the character is less pronounced than in the dinotherion.

And so, my dear, what must we conclude of all this? It is that, as naturalists have sworn, the dinotherion has no analogy with any animals other than those I have cited and, having the head of a mole, the scapula of a mole, and the hands of a mole, must, it seems to me, resemble a mole more than a whale. It is true that the great anatomist Cuvier made of it a giant pangolin, but he hadn’t seen the head”.

“I admit, lord demon, that most analogies are in favor of your opinion, and yet, here are teeth that…”

“That look nothing like a mole’s, I agree, because the jaws of the dinotherion lack incisors and canines, but they are no less suited for grinding roots and even mollusks and insects that it could find in its excavations. Besides, my dear, this anomaly, if it is one, has many examples in living animals. For example, if you ever go to New Holland, you will find a large family of marsupial mammals whose species have so many analogies that it is difficult to separate one from the group it forms, and who differ as much as possible by their dental system. Among these heterogeneously-toothed species, the opossum (the only genus not from Australia) represents insectivorous carnivores, like tenrecs and moles; the rat-kangaroo has teeth adapted for a frugivorous diet, like the hedgehog; the giant kangaroo lives on vegetation, lacks the upper canines that characterize the preceding and only has canines that are transverse to its jaws, which bring it closer to our herbivorous pachyderms; finally, the wombat is, like the hare, a veritable rodent by the teeth and by the intestines. And yet no naturalist has tried to separate these marsupials to put them in the great divisions where their teeth would have rigorously classified them. I intend therefore to make of the dinotherion, if it is not a mole, at least a related genus that I would place with the desmans, the moles, the chrysochlores and the tenrecs, all subterranean animals like it. And besides, if you aren’t content, you can place it elsewhere, but in this case you would have to, according to your principles, create not a genus, a family, or even an order, but a separate class that it would occupy by itself, and this necessity would be the bloodiest critique that you could make of the so-called natural method of your scientists”.

Despite the high opinion I had of my irascible demon’s merit, he had so filled my head with pangolins, seals, tapirs, whales, and elephants, that I could not in any way accept his mole, and a small smile of vanity and disapprobation came over my lips. He noticed, and cried out!

“Ah! Ah! Mister Incredulous! Have I not employed to convince you the same analogic arguments that your sagest paleontology professors use every day; but it will take more than reason to convince you, from what I see. Well then, morbleu! I will convince you with your own eyes or I shall lose my devilry”. He pounced upon me and seized me by the arm, which took away my desire to laugh; he threw me behind him astride his crutch, like a witch heading to the Sabbath on a broomstick, and together we flew into the air, we took off like a crossbow bolt. The speed of our voyage dizzied me so, that I cannot positively say how much time we took to make our way, nor where we passed to find ourselves on the borders of the Rhine, but what is certain is that we were traveling faster than on a train or on a steamboat.

When I came to, I was laid out on a bed of moss shaded by a tree at least thirty to thirty-five meters tall. I asked the genie which country we were in.

“We are”, he told me, “in this country that will be named, in a few thousand years, the Rhenish province of the grand duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt. This great lake that you see there in the East will dry out, and on of the most beautiful rivers of Europe, the Rhine, will cross its ancient bed in its entire length. The place where we are now will be the burg of Eppelsheim and further the city of Alzéi. If you remember the first voyages we made during the other periods, you will notice how much the vegetation has changed, and you will recognize the tree under which we are as a walnut tree quite similar to the common walnut tree, but with more angular nuts that end in a sharp point”.

Suddenly a low but horrible roar made me shiver to the very bone. I looked around in fear, but saw nothing. This horrible cry resonated in my ears a second time and I felt the earth shake under my feet. The idea of underground noises that you hear before an earthquake or rather before mountain upheaval, following Élie de Beaumont, or the sinking of a province according to Beudant, brought terror to my heart, and I thought for a moment that I would be lifted up at the top of a new chain of Alps raising from the depths of the Earth, or sinking into the central fire of the globe in a collapse. I got up quickly and started to run as fast as I was able. But I hadn’t made two hundred paces before my demon grabbed me by my arm, sat me down on a fragment of rock, and, with his finger, indicated the place under the tree where I had been where the most extraordinary scene unfolded.

The earth shook convulsively, and its movement was communicated by the shaking foliage of the walnut tree, which shook and balanced in the air as if a whirlwind had gone into its thousand branches. The tree bent over and straightened several times, then finally, it fell over with a crash, and the earth rose in a great cone seven meters high, opening up at the top of this singular molehill.

“Parbleu”, I told the genie, “I could swear you’re showing me the formation of the new Pyrenees in miniature”.

“In miniature!” he answered, “by my word, that’s quite the miniature! There, there it comes out of its hole”.

Indeed, I saw, coming out of the hole that had opened at the top of the cone like a volcanic crater, a monstrous head three times bigger than a barrel, then an even thicker neck; then a massive body, about three meters in diameter, that is to say as big as the biggest elephant; and finally, a strange animal, five to six meters long, with a terrifying appearance, and dragging itself clumsily on four very short, very thick legs. Its whole body was covered in long, silky hairs, green and shifting in hue from copper to bronze, offering, like the Cape chrysochlore, beautiful metallic reflections. Its very large nose, about sixty centimeters long, ended in a sort of mobile snout, bristling all over with sharp and keratinous tubercles, suitable for opening up the inside of the earth. Under this nose was an enormous lower jaw, prolonged anteriorly in a long chin pointing downwards. At the end of this chin, two tusks almost touching at the base, more than two feet long, emerged through the skin of the lip and directed their points perpendicularly earthwards, yet with a light curvature towards the forelegs. I saw that this monster was using them to help it crawl, by stretching its head out, sinking them into the soil, and pulling its body forward. Its eyes were so small that you would not have seen them through the long hairs surrounding them, if they did not gleam with a dark and red fire like two sparks. Its ears were very small and the concha was barely apparent. Its hindlegs were rather short and armed with very strong claws, but its forelegs ended in two enormous hands absolutely similar to those of a mole, and they were used to push the earth to the right or left as it used its nose to dig an underground tunnel.

The formidable animal descended from atop the monticule it had created; with a lot of agility, it crawled a few meters, then made a cry so sharp, so noisy, so extraordinary that I cannot compare it to anything that human ears have ever heard. The demon saw me shudder and reassured me, telling me that it was calling another animal of its species, and it would move away from us if it heard a response. It continued to make a sharp cry from time to time, moving to the edge of a great forest covering the flanks of a hill, and where I saw a few monticules similar to its own. Meanwhile, I observed a few of those animals a bit smaller in size, and I pointed them out to the genie.

“You are not mistaken”, he told me, “for the paleontologists know in fact, under the name dinotherium bavaricum, another species of this kind, but a bit smaller. What is most unusual in the history of these two dinotherions is that the scientist, G. Cuvier, took the bones of the great dinotherion to be those of a giant tapir, equal in size to the greatest Indian elephant”.

Company onboarding:

Attribute theft, size changing, breast expansion, bimboification, retroactive reality changes, minor personality changes,

Cusi was on her pad doing her onboarding process for Knight's Industriws while her girlfriend Khadija worked on the list of groceries. She was so excited to work for the Goddess of Love. Years of studying business, working endlessly in offices and now she was finally able to work from home making so much more. As long as she deciphered these confounded onboarding questions.

The first question had a list of different letters and some of the letters were doubles and even triple letters.

A, B, C, D, DD, E, G, GG, GGG, were all options that were available. No question nor context given. So at random she chose A and she got a pop up.

At Knights Industries we value initiative and going above and beyond. Are you certain you want the bare minimum or do you want to do the bare maximum? It asked

"Oh. I get it now." Cusi giggled not sure where the giggle came from. So she selected G from the list.

Cusi adjusted her sweater. It felt too tight over her big boobs. Her light pink bra comfortably holding the large breasts as Khadija snuck a peak at Cusi.

"You doing okay?" She asked glancing at her girlfriend's breasts as Cusi giggled and squeezed them together.

"I'm fine I just figured out the first step now I can keep going." She said enjoying the fact that Khadija was starring at her maybe she would take a break with Khadija soon.

The next question had more numbers and apostrophes. Cusi wasn't very good at numbers. She did graduate at the top of business class but those were business numbers. These were different types of numbers.

0' 6", 1' 6", 2' 6", 3' 6", 4' 6", 5' 6" 6' 6", and 7' 6".

Well clearly they wanted her to go big so she went big. She clicked 7' 6".

Cusi's sweater was gone now. She wasn't sure where she got the idea that she had a sweater. She was too big to wear sweaters and most clothing. It cost her a near fortune just to afford underwear and torn pants from Goodwill that couldn't quite reach her hips. She took a break and went to the kitchen and when she came back she saw Khadija starring.

"Like what you see Dija?" She said jiggling and squeezing her breasts right in front of her Muslim girlfriend. She enjoyed making her flustered but Khadija knew what she was getting into when she asked Cusi out when Cusi could barely wear clothes which went hand in hand with her attention and exhibition kinks.

But she was happy to keep it private for Khadija.

"Just a few more questions cutie and these are all yours." She said as she pressed her breasts to Khadija's face.

"Good girl you're such a good girl. Thank you for supporting a dummy like me. I'll reward you later." Cusi cooed as she sat at the table now built for her height while Khadija looked so small in her seat.

"Are you a veteran or have you served in the military?" The question asked. While Cusi served about a year due to the draft she wouldn't count it as a veteran so she pressed no. And then her experience in the military disappeared.

She no longer had military discipline, she no longer had those memories. And she didn't know what she was missing.

"Do you have any disabilities?" The next question asked. Cusi had a severe food allergy but she knew if she said yes it would hurt her chances so she selected no.

Now Cusi found herself snacking on a candy bar. She didn't know why she thought she had a food allergy she always loved trying new food with Khadija.

"Do you have autism?" She selected no. There was a sudden pop up.

"This cannot be changed." So she was given another chance but the no option was grayed out so she chose yes.

Gender: was a selection and she chose female.

Finally came to the tax form. Which had a binary choice.

"Do you want to get paid taxes or pay taxes?" It asked and Cusi didn't have an answer.

"Um Dee? Can you help me this question is really hard?" She asked her girlfriend who came over and she tried explaining it to Cusi but she didn't get it so Khadija offered to tell her what options to choose.

"Thanks Di you're the best." Cusi said as she tried to read over what was on the screen but the words felt wrong and hard to read but Khadija told her what to fill in.

Finally there was a choice of "compensation" and Khadija eagerly chose immediately.

"There you go. You're all done."

"I have a big job there?" Cusi asked excited while Khadija shook her head.

"No you silly girl. You're too dumb to work an executive job. You didn't graduate high school let alone college. I am the business major with a year of being a military captain. So that was my job you just helped me with." Khadija said while Cusi was confused.

"But I thought I was ap... appl... getting job?" She asked Khadija who shook her head extremely confident.

"Sweet Cusi. You're beautiful but you're so dumb. It's why I fell in love with you. You don't have any formal job experience. After graduation we stayed girlfriends and you've been my assistant the entire time. Not a very good assistant because you can barely read. But my favorite assistant because you give me a lot of head and your titties are fun to touch."

She said reaching out to grab Cusi's breasts that were the same height as her face.

Cusi relaxed hearing Khadija's words.

"So let's head to the bedroom and celebrate." Khadija said as she lead her much taller girlfriend into the bedroom.

Two new applicants for Knight's Industries have been accepted. A C level position and her assistant. When filling out onboarding be aware of what happens when you say you're a confident leader who takes what she wants.

And don't let anyone else do your onboarding.

Bimboification may occur.

most to least likely: popularity in south korea

for aespa, ive, stayc, (g)i-dle

present

most likely

jeon soyeon/yuqi/wonyoung: the sun/ace of cups/10 of cups the three are equal for me, but they are undoubtedly very popular in korea (even yuqi, who is a foreigner). sumin: 2 of cups i don't know how popular she is in korea, but she has fans and is liked a lot. if she isn't relevant there right now, if she wants to ofc, she can try acting. she will gather a lot of fans. giselle: 9 of cups + the emperor she has great potential right now. if the things continue in the same spirit, she will be liked more and more! winter: seven of cups there are many proposals and offers, she is extremely liked and for now the things are great. gaeul: the chariot her popularity is hidden. she has fans, but it would be nice if starship gives her more chance to become more popular. lesseo: page of wands she has gathered a large enough number of fans, she is undoubtedly liked, but she could be liked more than now. minnie: page of pentacles slowly but steady she'll do good. she's so high because she's doing it right. she has the potential to be more liked than now. seeun: temperance quite a stable fanbase. she's liked enough. miyeon: the devil rx she's good. she's liked enough right now. liz: 3 of swords rx she has potential.. that's all an yujin: seven of wands she's liked, but energetically she's barely getting by. she's having a tough time (energetically) right now. karina: justice rx with karina the situation is similar to yujin, but behind the scenes. she could be more liked, but she's not given that opportunity. ningning: 5 of swords rx once again I see this rebellion that she's set up to be treated properly. I can't put her higher. sieun: six of pentacles in short, she was also an actress (currently sieun is not participating in dramas/movies if i remember correctly). whatever she gives, she will get. her situation is complicated, simply because she is, to put it mildly, a nepo baby. first, since her father is famous, she will also take from his popularity. second, since she participates in dramas/movies, she will also take something from there, but now she doesn't have a permanent fanbase. when she starts focusing somewhere, then the things will probably work out. isa: two of pentacles her relevance is unstable. she has some fans, but they are not permanent. yoon: the moon has potential, but for now she is on hiatus in this regard j: nine of wands ugh, she is in pain and sorrow (/s). it looks like that she seems to be neglected by koreans. rei: eight of swords she is not liked by koreans (I think for ethnic reasons). shuhua: eight of pentacles rx she doesn't want to develop her individual career in korea and that's why she's finally.

least likely

in 5 years

most likely

sieun/j/isa/karina: 6 of wands/the sun/10 of cups/9 of cups of course, the four girls are equal, but it seems that the energies for them are the most favorable and only good things await them. gaeul: 10 of pentacles in case she goes into another field, she will win many people and be respected by many. if she continues with the k-pop industry, she will perform quite well. giselle: 3 of cups if she becomes an actress, she will reach new heights. it seems that she will develop in this field. soyeon: the empress she will do great in her field. she may appear more as a producer/beatmaker for five years, but either way, she will still be liked in korea the same way. wonyoung: 7 of cups there will be many more proposals and offers, she will be even more extremely liked and for now the things will be phenomenal. lesseo: queen of wands things are looking good for her. i don't see anything deeper with her, but she could hold on. shuhua: king of cups things are stable. she looks like she'll be a good entertainer. winter: page of swords uh, things are like this with her, she'll have more than enough of everything and she'll pick and choose what to do next, from there her popularity might drop overall, but things aren't that bad miyeon: temperance she'll gain quite a stable fanbase. she'll be liked enough. yoon: 7 of swords rx she'll have enough fans, but she won't be noticed. like she's stuck. yuqi: 7 of wands i don't know if it'll have anything to do with her popularity in her country (china), but she'll have a tough time with her popularity in korea. she might have a hard time keeping her fans there. sumin: 2 of pentacles her relevance will be unstable. she will have some fans, but they will not be permanent. (like isa now) minnie: knight of swords rx in 5 years her relevance will no longer depend entirely on her :( liz: 5 of cups i don't see any success.. she should be careful with her initial emotions and reactions… an yujin: knight of wands rx ouch.. and here, to put it mildly, i don't see any good things… she should be careful with her behavior… seeun: 3 of pentacles rx ouch… attitude problems.. rei: 5 of swords rx uh, with her… they may not pay attention to rei. ningning: the hierophant it looks like she will be going back to china.

Bruce And Natasha (Brutasha) Masterlist 2

part one

and you were my eyes (how could I see again) (ao3) - spidey_taurie (onecentwriter), the_cat_in_the_void T, 5k

Summary: He’s a mess. He’s such a mess. He loves being happy and having friends and he hates himself for loving and for breaking his rule and putting other people in danger, god, don’t you care? He’s a monster, true, but for a long time he’d hoped to keep that term on the greener side of him. But it’s not wrong—he’s risking the safety of his fr–teammates just so he can have a bit of fun, a bit of joy.

And then there’s Natasha.

God, it’s always Natasha, isn’t it?

Or; love is not something Bruce Banner ever thought he could have again.

A Simple Little Dare (ao3) - DutchRenegade G, 1k

Summary: When Nat turns out to have the lowest average that semester, her friends come up with a dare. Will she kiss the stranger in the corner of the bar reading by himself?

Beauty and the Beast (ao3) - Panda365 bruce/natasha, pepper/tony T, 47k

Summary: A few weeks after the battle of NY, the original 6 are adjusting to life at Avengers tower.

Through various missions and time off the clock, the team must put aside their differences to save others and each other from their own demons.

(This is a Bruce/Natasha centered story full of angst, comedy, and friendship. Be warned of potentially triggering topics of suicide, anxiety, and depression.)

chaos runs in the family (ao3) - magecraft G, 1k

Summary: Alexei doesn't think Bruce is worthy of dating Natasha. By his own standards he is proven very wrong.

Dancing With A Stranger (ao3) - Panda365 T, 5k

Summary: Bruce is back after the events of Ultron. Natasha has moved on...or so she thought.

flirting for geniuses (ao3) - screamlet G, 5k

Summary: Inspired by this tumblr post about Bruce and Natasha and how much more fun their dynamic could have been if the writing gave them a chance to be their horrible awkward selves.

In the Heat of the Moment (ao3) - onward_came_themeteors T, 4k

Summary: If Natasha had joined Bruce in the shower during Age of Ultron.

like there's no goodbyes (ao3) - natashasbanner M, 9k

Summary: Sometimes saying goodbye and moving on are the right thing to do. But it can also be the hardest. Bruce couldn't keep living like a ghost in the halls of the compound, but that meant leaving behind Natasha. She wasn't ready yet.

It broke his heart but it had to be done. He focused on helping people again and the last person he expected to encounter was Natasha herself.

Goodbyes were hard but for one night, they didn't have to be.

Massage Time (ao3) - Hawkeye_Beauty M, 2k

Summary: Natasha Romanov needs a massage to get all the kinks and knots out. So Clint recommends Banner. Banner is great at massages……And other things.

Mistletoe (ao3) - Panda365 T, 1k

Summary: Natasha hates raw conversations. And Bruce isn’t a mind reader.

Red For Forgiveness (ao3) - alinalotus T, 3k

Summary: When Natasha bails, Fury sends the only person capable of saving her to bring her back. "...only she doesn't hate him, not even a little bit..."

Running With It (ao3) - blue_the_unruly T, 1k

Summary: At Clint and Laura's farmhouse, Natasha opens up to Bruce about her past, and the two are finally able to find healing in each other's arms.

secret moments in a crowded room (ao3) - natashasbanner T, 1k

Summary: Natasha let Tony talk her into attending a Stark Industries fundraiser. But she didn't have to suffer alone.

Starved (ao3) - hulucthulhu E, 3k

Summary: Bruce is sure his window with Natasha has closed, but they're alone, and lonely. Maybe they can help each other though, after all, what else are friends for? Everyone needs a hug sometimes, right?

such a dork (ao3) - NumberFivesBottom T, 1k

Summary: Bruce overhears Natasha talking to Wanda about him. Their relationship blossoms through one act.

Unspoken Promises (ao3) - ourendlessaffair T, 3k

Summary: Bruce and Natasha share a bed at Clint's farmhouse and they face their feelings for each other.

🔘 Wed morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

( 1 of 2 )

🟨 Many people immediately asked for evidence the Rafah attack reports were false, which the IDF provided definitively around 12 hours later. And people asked: how did we know basically immediately?

- - if Hamas is publicizing it, it’s a lie. They literally have created an industry with cameramen, lighting, professional horror makeup people, etc. Yesterday’s CNN headline picture was obviously posed, with makeup on the mourning people.

- - when the figures change every hour or every report, it’s a lie. You can tell their PR people are throwing out numbers until they see what gets accepted.

- - when the details don’t make sense, it’s likely a lie.

BUT, the reporters and then the public absorbs THE FIRST INFO - no matter how ridiculous. We applaud those fighting the good fight with information, it’s always too late. As from the next item below, we have world policy being made on the basis of the lie.

One response I have heard is to immediately emphasize and reflect, which might force people to think a bit, like this: “I heard the Israelis bombed 50 innocent people!”… “Really? I heard they bombed 5 million innocent children holding build-a-bears! And I saw a picture! Nice bears though. And beautiful outfits on the children, wonder where you can buy them?”

.. And they try again: Arab channels are reporting about 21 dead in an attack by an Israeli warplane on the tent area in Mawasi of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. No documentation, no pictures, but watch for the Al Jazeera and CNN headlines. IDF: no such attack.

Regarding the original, here’s it all in a nice video: https://x.com/AbuAliEnglishB1/status/1795504079491272925?t=BI4qgX821mbOTPwS2JaNOw&s=19

▪️ALGERIA AND SOUTH AFRICA TO REQUEST UN SEC COUNCIL RESOLUTION RE: RAFAH.

▪️CROSS GREEN LINE SHOOTING - TULKARM to BAT HEFER.. masked terrorists identified with Hamas were seen shooting at Bat Hefer from the Tulkarm border wall, and yesterday there was an infiltration team that cross the wall and was captured. Also noting that Route 6 follows directly along part of the wall, putting both the towns and the major Israel traffic route at risk. (N12)

"Vengeance and Liberation Youth" Battalion take responsibility for shooting at Bat Hefer.

▪️PM ORDERS HALT ON “SETTLEMENT” HOUSE DESTRUCTION, DEFENSE DEPT DOES IT ANYWAY.. Despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's order not to destroy houses belonging to reservists during wartime - security forces destroyed this morning near the settlement of Adam a house of a soldier who is in the reserves. The Prime Minister's Office stated that his directive is still in effect.

▪️CHINA REQUESTS HOUTHIS STOP SHIP ATTACKS, HOUTHIS SAY NO.. there was a meeting of the Chinese Foreign Minister in Yemen with senior officials in Yemen to stop the Houthi attacks in the Red and Arabian seas. The answer: no.

🔘 Wed morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

( 2 of 2 )

▪️3 HERO SOLDIERS HAVE FALLEN.. (not from our regular source, so I’m less sure of this) Paratroopers Brigade 50, Amir Glilov, Uri Bar Or, Udi Ofer. (No ages or locations in the notice). May their families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge their blood.

▪️ECONOMY - INTEREST RATES.. Bank of Israel leaves the interest rate unchanged at 4.5%; The prime interest rate - 6%. The dollar-shekel rate stays steady on the news at $1 = NIS 3.69

▪️SCAM / HACK WARNING.. People are receiving an incoming call from a confidential number, the speaker identifies as a representative of the police cyber team OR the national HQ for the protection of children OR the police info center, and requests that they provide a code received in an SMS message.

The code they ask for is the WhatsApp activation code, and will allow the hacker to take control of your WhatsApp.

NOBODY official will call you and ask for any SMS codes, EVER. It’s a scam!

Hack attempts can be reported to the cyber center -> dial 119.

The cyber center recommends turning on 2 step verification for WhatsApp: Settings>Account>Two-step verification.

♦️Gaza: Air force attacks east of Khan Yunis and Sheikh Radwan.

♦️Gaza: Airstrikes in Nusirat, central and western Rafah.

♦️Gaza: Artillery in various areas in Rafah, north of Nusirat, east of Al-Maazi and Al-Boreij, east of Sajaiya, Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya.

♦️COUNTER-TERROR operations overnight in Shevika (near Tulkarm) and Tubas and Shoafat. Plenty of gunfire, explosives thrown at security vehicles.

⭕ HOUTHIS shot 5 missiles at a Greek ship yesterday. HIT with 3 !

⭕ HEZBOLLAH ROCKETS at Shtula, 2 rounds.
