Tony: You're fine
*loud clang and crash*
Peter: ...I dropped it

I love Spider in modern AU as Street Kid, it fits his character so well. Do you have any more headcanons about what his life would be like in this AU type? <3
For this specific cop au I have rattling around my brain right now, here are the headcanons:
Spider is fifteen or sixteen when he’s first apprehended by law enforcement. He’s been hanging around with a few of the other guys from the kids home and drinking on street corners when someone calls the cops on them for underage drinking.
He wouldn’t normally drink but it’s the people he hangs out with that sway him. He’s good friends with some of the guys because they’ve all gone through the same shit together.
He’s been in a few foster homes but they’re always short term/emergency placements so for all the good they do they’re pretty much pointless
Paz was a single mum after spider was born because Quaritch was afraid of commitment. He offered to pay child support but Paz would rather be independent and kind of releases W of his responsibilities. She died when spider was maybe six or seven, and spider never had contact with his dad. When she died, Q was serving in the marines abroad, and Paz didn’t put him on the birth certificate anyway so he was never contacted.
Spider has always wondered about his dad but he doesn’t know the first thing about him.
It’s tough growing up without parents, but it’s even tougher when you had a secure, loving relationship that was wrenched away from you, so Spider has had to find his own ways of coping.
When he was younger, that meant shutting himself in his room and drawing his feelings away. As he grew older, that meant hanging out with like minded people and repressing his hurt and anger into more concerning outlets. (Drinking, vaping, weed and then more hardcore drugs).
He has several run ins with the cops, not all of them Quaritch. Some are worse than others and after a couple of bad experiences he’s obviously pretty distrustful of the police and sassy when he should really be respectful. This has on occasion led him to harsher punishments than his crime warranted.
He still has his mum’s necklace that he wears 24/7. It’s his most prized possession.
At the time of meeting Q, he’s on the run from the kids home. I think this is because he’s sick of having his things stolen and just wants a bit more freedom. He’s not a bad kid and is perfectly respectful to the staff and other kids but there’s a couple of older teenagers that live there who make threats and generally make his life hell.
His walls are up and he doesn’t trust anyone. Partly because of knowing his father couldn’t care less about him
Quaritch
Was a marine in his younger years, working his way up the ranks and serving many tours abroad
Met Paz in his early twenties, then spider was conceived and Q was simply not ready for the responsibilities of settling down and being a father - his life was only just beginning and his career was calling.
He parted from Paz in a bittersweet way - there wasn’t any animosity and the two still harboured affection for each other, but it was clear they needed to go their separate ways and Paz was fine with that
In his thirties he sustained an injury on tour that prevented him from serving again, so he changed to the police force and managed to become a lieutenant colonel
He’s been recognised on a state level and rewarded for his service to the city, receiving several awards and earning a high level of respect from colleagues both above and below him. He has hopes to become chief of police when the time is right
He enjoys the work but when he’s out on patrol he often hopes for the more high stakes cases that involve danger instead of just picking up petty crime or responding to domestics.
That’s not to say he doesn’t have a caring side - it just rarely comes out.
He’s a workaholic and hasn’t found a life partner yet, despite enjoying himself when he was younger. Now, he just likes to take on as many shifts as possible and focus on keeping the streets safe. As a result he earns a lot and lives comfortably
He doesn’t know that Paz is dead, and sometimes he will remember and think about how Paz and his son are doing, but he doesn’t feel the need to disrupt that or try to contact his son.

Tips I wish I knew for my first RE4R Hardcore playthrough (Original Campaign)
Notes:
-This can also be applied to lower difficulties to make it 10x easier
-This does not include tips for the Separate Ways DLC, but some of them can be applied, I suppose
-All of these are picked up from personal playthroughs as well as YouTube videos (Neon Slice influences the majority of these)
-I've also just played this game on the hardest difficulties too many times lol
1. FLASH GRENADES - They WILL be your best friend, I promise you. Why? They stun enemies for at least 5 to 10 seconds and you can melee them. Alternatively, you have a window to stab them (always a critical hit, perfect for mini bosses like the Brutes)
2. Keep at least one first aid spray on you at all times; this has saved me on several occasions, and not doing it has killed me
3. Ashley's armor is worth the hassle if you are trying to get the S+ rank on Professional (if it's your first run, professional will only be unlocked after you beat the game at least once)
4. If you are in a spot where you are overwhelmed, just RUN. Run if you can, especially if you're out of bullets and you're on your last knife. This is another situation where flash grenades are useful.
5. Speaking of flash grenades, if it is your first playthrough (or you just lack attention to detail), Plagas hate light and die when flashed by a flash grenade. If you have too many Plagas in the area, don't hesitate to throw a flash grenade. This is especially useful against the knights in Salazar's castle.
6. The only way you're gonna get infinite ammo is through an S+ rank on Professional, so don't even worry about that until later.
7. Yes, there are limits on saves and the number of hours it takes to complete the game in order to get certain ranks. If you don't know the rules to a rank, Google them. The game, if it does tell you, doesn't like to make those rules obvious.
8. Ashley is a pain in the rear end even with the armor. In areas like the Water Hall, she's immune to enemy attacks and Leon's bullets, yes, but she will still crouch down when surrounded, or get picked up (they can't carry her anywhere though since the armor makes her heavy, so she'll be in a constant cycle of screaming until you get rid of the zealots). Added this because I don't know how many people address this part of Ashley's armor.
9. On the flip side, the armor makes Ashley immune to attacks even during her segment of the game where you play as her, so you can walk through the knight room and be hit 45 times and be just fine. It makes that part of the game much easier.
10. One hit in Ashley's segment without armor, however, (yes, even just one) will result in a game over. Keep moving, know your paths before triggering things, and be quick about it.
11. Saddler is pathetic, even on hardcore mode. At the start of his battle, just shoot him with a rocket launcher and you'll be good to go, no time wasted
12. Two golden eggs thrown at Salazar (start of his battle, preferably. Much easier from there) will easily get his battle out of the way.
13. You know the room with the 4 Regeneradors in the test tube things? Yeah, those. Don't bother killing all of them, just get the wrench from the one and you'll be fine.
14. Speaking of Regeneradors, they're a pain. A big one. Keep your distance, they're slinky's. Keep your distance.
15. If the Regenerador is asleep (like the 4 test tube ones in the lab), line up two of the parasites (if you can, all three would be awesome, though) and shoot. It will make your job MUCH easier
16. Use the rocket launcher on Krauser when you're in the final battle with him. He's a tough one, and it's much easier to skip the fight. You also get his knife once he's dead, and it's better than Leon's. That's nice, I guess.
17. There's nothing you can do about Leon's slowness when approaching Luis's lab. That's meant to happen, and no, you can't skip it. On the bright side, you won't get hurt, either.
18. You may or may not have heard about the heavy grenade trick when Ashley is using the wrecking ball. Two heavy grenades will do the trick. If you don't have those, several normal grenades will suffice, but it will add a little extra time to your run.
19. Use flash grenade right as one of the two Giants (with Luis) are approaching the center of the room. It takes a second for the flash to go off, and it stops them just enough to open the trap door to incinerate one of them. Nice.
20. Take out the lamp guys ASAP. You know, the ones with the red lamps that make the zealots turn into Plagas? Those things. I hate 'em. Flash them with a flash grenade, then knife them. Best way to go, just like Brutes.
I hope this was of SOME use to you. I racked my memory for this info, it's a long game. If you want more, let me know. Should I do Separate Ways next?

Madwoman | Chelsea Bieker | Published 2024
Tumblr media
The world is not made for mothers. Yet mothers made the world...
Clove has gone to extremes to keep her past a secret. Thanks to her lies, she's landed the life of her dreams, complete with a safe husband and two adoring children who will never know the terror that was routine in her own childhood. If her buried anxiety threatens to breach the surface, Clove focuses on finding the right supplement, the right gratitude meditation.
But when she receives a letter from a woman's prison in California, her past comes screeching into the present, entangling her in a dangerous game with memory and the people she thought she had outrun. As we race between her precarious present-day life in Portland, Oregon and her childhood in a Waikiki high-rise with her mother and father, Clove is forced to finally unravel the defining day of her life. How did she survive that day, and what will it take to end the cycle of violence? Will the truth undo her, or could it ultimately save her?
Clove has spent the majority of her adult life running. Growing up, she watched her mother be abused by her father, beaten nearly to death on several occasions. After moving to Hawaii, hopes that a new location would bring change brought hope on the horizon. But nothing had changed. After several attempts to get away without success, it eventually led to her father being pushed off their 33rd floor apartment balcony to his death - and Clove's mother is to blame.
Back then, she was known as Calla Lily, only claiming her new name after that fateful night when she escaped and her mother was arrested for murder.
Now, in her 30s, Clove has a family of her own. She is married to an impossibly generous man, who never once laid a hand on her. She lives a wonderful life in Portland, Oregon, and is a stay-at-home mom to her two children 7 year old Nova and 3 year old Lark.
Summer is upon them, and now both children will be home for the summer. Clove's two kids don't normally get along and her husband is forever pushing her to bring in a nanny to give her the breaks she desperately needs in order to function. Clove constantly battles anxiety about anything and everything going wrong, especially now that she has begun weaning her son.
Not only does Clove battle her anxiety, she also has to deal with her mother reappearing in her life. She believed to have found this identity and kept it a secret, but somehow she has been found. Her mother is desperate to get out of prison, and a feminist lawyer has now decided to attempt to help prove her mother's innocence. But, this puts a wrench in Clove's seemingly perfect life: she has never once divulged her secret to her husband, and only one person knows: a man she worked with and had dated prior to moving to Portland, only known as the Butcher.
Believing that her ex is somehow involved in how her mother found her, she reaches out to him. In the meantime, the appearance of the letter from her mother leaves her so distracted that she gets into a minor fender bender with a young woman. The two of them are pleasant with each other, despite the circumtances, and go on their separate ways after exchanging information. But Clove becomes fixated on finding this woman.
And she does in the appearance of a worker at her favorite health food grocery store. Her name is Jane, and she is new to the area, sleeping her way through the men of the store in order to become a mother herself. Desperate to become closer to Jane, and to help curb her own issues, she offers Jane a place to stay within their home, in exchange for free clothing, food and childcare.
Quickly, Jane acclimates to their household and takes a liking to Clove's children and they with her. The two of them become incredibly close, but after telling Jane her deepest, darkest secret, Jane becomes fixated on getting Clove to help her mother get out of prison.
Fearful that Jane will eventually divulge this information to her husband, the two of them work a grocery expo where Clove has agreed to meet up with the Butcher. Old feelings come rushing back, but Clove won't do anything to hurt her marriage. But, while talking about it, Clove comes to the truth that she has suppressed for all of these years: Alma never pushed her father off the balcony...she had. In fear for her mother's life, she took on her father's dark traveler and pushed him to his death in order to save her. And Alma, in order to protect her own child, which she had failed to do so for nearly 18 years, she took the blame for what had happened.
Clove had gone to their friends Christina and Celine, a mother and daughter who live on the floor below them. Christina was forever trying to get Alma to leave, while simultaneously taking care of her own ailing child, Celine. Christina, knowing that Celine would soon perish due to her illness, gave Clove Celine's identity in order to bring a new life. And after her death, Christina took herself and Celine's body out to see, effectively killing herself and taking Celine's body with her so Clove could move on with her life.
But, in the middle of the night during an unplanned sleepover with the Butcher, where the two of them had talked well into the night, Clove comes to realize that the phone she is desperately trying to get into was actually his, and he was speaking to a woman named Celine. After requesting a photo of this woman, it all comes to her: Jane is actually Celine.
It's an impossible thought, but when she rushes home, she is devastated to learn that Jane had returned from the night before with a promise of a sleepover with Clove at a hotel with swimming, supposedly a part of the surprise party that she was helping their daughter, Nova, plan for her 8th birthday. But, Clove tells him that she never agreed to this and now their children are missing.
She knows now that she needs to come clean to her husband and tells him everything, including the fact that Jane is actually her childhood best friend named Celine, long thought to have been dead since they were 17 years old.
They find Celine, at a fast food restaurant in California, where she confesses that she took the kids to see Alma at the women's prison she is currently at. She also tells Clove that Christina was a liar as well, claiming that she was sick when in truth, she was making Christina sick, causing her to be unable to have a real childhood because of her own unrealistic fears.
The two of the make up, and go to visit Alma in prison. With Celine's help, Clove agrees to help her get out of prison, and the two of them concoct a story, telling them know that it was in fact Christina that had pushed her father off the balcony, and that it was a fact they hid in order to protect her. But, now that Christina was dead, there was no need for protection any longer.
Everyone is alright now that the whole truth is out in the open, and Clove and her husband vow to make things work for their children, and Clove is thrilled to have her childhood friend back.

(Warning: Story depicts violence)Rock band Journey may be right when they said too much love will kill you after a man in Indonesia has been arrested for the murder of his fiancée, following her accusation that he had sex with a cow.
Authorities have detained a suspect, identified as Mikhael Oi, for the death of a 35-year-old woman, identified as Augustina Rere, according to a report by Detik.com.
The suspect has been constantly abusing and assaulting his soon-to-be bride because he was disappointed that she would not agree to his demands of physical intimacy, according to the police.
Fatal consequences
The victim was attacked on two separate occasions, where she sustained fatal injuries in the second assault, the police said.
The man first attacked the woman on 4 Feb when he hit her with his bare hands. The second assault happened on 7 Feb when hit her with a wrench, which resulted to a serious physical injury.
“The suspect was upset with the victim because she accused him of committing adultery, often asking for sex, and that he had sex with a cow on their farm,” the local police chief said in the report.
Rere was brought to the hospital after she reported the abuse to the authorities, but she died the next day due to brain damage. An autopsy found a wound on her left temple, and bleeding in her brain, which caused her death.
The suspect was charged in court and could be jailed for 15 years if found guilty under Indonesian laws.

Note: I have no idea how tagging someone works on this app, but I’m trying :(
So, I was on Tumblr and I saw someone with the username @prismtowerprincess (they’re awesome btw, I recommend checking them out) and it gave me an idea:
The story of Rapunzel BUT make it Pokémon XY. More specifically, Diodeshipping (Clemont X Ash)
Let me explain.
Basically it’s a rewrite of the Disney film Tangled but in the Pokémon XY universe.
So for the plot, Clemont is the lost gym leader trapped in Prism Tower, locked off to all of Kalos (there are only 7 gym leaders of Kalos because the 8th one went missing as a child and therefore Prism Tower was put out of business) Clemont was kidnapped at the age of 1 and a half by Xerosic (on Lysander’s orders but we don’t know that yet) because he was somewhat prophesied to be some kind of genius that shaped the future of Kalos and Lysander didn’t want that prophecy coming true. Xerosic is manipulative through Clemont’s childhood and convinced him not to go outside, as Xerosic only enters through a window at the top of the tower. To get up, he asks Clemont to let down his HAIR [Handy And Indestructible Rope] which Clemont does ever day without fail. Whilst he accepts his life, Clemont is getting bored of the way his life is since he’s seemingly read every book, worked on every calculation, made every invention, etc. He wants to see the Pokémon made electric shower that happens to fall each year on the night of his birthday, but Xerosic won’t let him, telling Clemont in greatly exaggerated detail about the dangers of going. When Clemont asks Xerosic again on his 16th birthday, he snaps and yells at Clemont, who hides in his room out of fear. Xerosic leaves, and Clemont goes and sits in his closet like he does when he needs some alone time. Xerosic tells Clemont that he’ll get the him a new wrench for his birthday, and leaves to go to the mechanics shop.
Meanwhile Ash is on the run with Jessie and James, who don’t trust Ash but need him for their heists. Whilst Jessie and James like stealing unique Pokémon from Kalos and trading them for money, Ash prefers stealing gym badges. They just stole the only Mega Evolution Stone from Professor Sycamore’s lab, so the professor sends the Royal Kalos Defence Force to arrest them with the chase being led by a Pikachu, who is at first underestimated by Ash and his crew. But after witnessing first-hand the power of Pikachu’s thunderbolt, the trio end up separated with Ash having to fly solo. After complaining that the wanted poster messed up his nose, he spots Prism Tower, and comes to the conclusion that since it’s a gym, he can rob the gym leader there. And since Pikachu is hot on his tail, he has no choice but to climb up and hide. Clemont hears Ash enters the building, ventured out of the closet and knocks ash out with an old wrench, tying him to a chair with his HAIR in a panic. When Ash wakes up, he sees Clemont walking around the room looking highly anxious, and mockingly asks him questions like if he was a boy or a girl due to Clemont’s longer than average hair, referring to him as “Gender-bent Goldilocks” on occasion. Clemont demands to know who Ash is, and naively believes the wanted man when he says his name is “Tom-Ato” Ash asks for the stone back and Clemont says that he’ll return the stone if Ash takes him to see the electric shower. Ash reluctantly agrees, but secretly plans on betraying Clemont at the earliest opportunity. Ash gets Clemont to use his HAIR as a way of escaping the tower rather than letting Xerosic into it, but still, Clemont is terrified. Reluctantly, Ash carries Clemont to an isolated first as the blond haired man is too scared to walk on the floor since he’s never been outside before and when Clemont gets on the grass he runs around in an excited phase. He continually flips between a mood of joy and depression/fear of Xerosic’s response. Ash uses his guilt to try and force Clemont back to the castle, but Clemont refuses. However, he bumps into a Luxray and is scared easily. Whilst Ash is tempted to leave Clemont stuck up a tree he climbed to escape the playful Pokémon, he eventually gives in to his gut and goes to rescue Clem who proclaims his gratitude for “The Heroic Tom Ato” which makes Ash laugh. Clemont eventually grows to trust the Luxray, who joins them on their quest into the centre of Lumious City where the electricity event takes place.
Meanwhile, Xerosic asks Clemont to let down his HAIR, and when he doesn’t, Xerosic grows concerned. With Lysander’s orders to never let Clemont leave the tower ringing in his head, he runs up a hidden emergency staircase, breaks into the tower and is dismayed to see that Clemont isn’t there, as well as the stolen mega evolution stone laying in the closet floor. He pockets the stone and begins using a set of goggles to track Clemont’s footprints. After seeing another set of prints next to Clemont’s he lets out a panicked cry and chases after them, running into Jessie and James along the way. The duo are musing about the lost stone and Xerosic demands they tell him who stole the stone (and Clemont). They challenge him to a battle - if he wins, they tell him everything as well as help him, and if he looses, he gives them all his possessions. Xerosic agrees.
Ash takes Clemont to a pub in order to scare him back into the castle as the people inside all have reputation of somewhat dangerous trainers. When Ash and Clemont walk in, the entire pub turns on them and recognises Ash from the wanted posters. They close in on the duo, and as they’re backing up Ash tells Clemont that it’s not too late to “run back home.” This approach almost works until in a state of fear, Clemont asks some of the people closing in on him if they’ve ever had a dream to follow. One by one the “menaces” in the pub reveal their not-so scary dreams. Brock wants to be a doctor. Misty just wants to be better than her sisters. Tracy wants to be an artist. Serena and May just want to dance and Cilan wants to open up his own restaurant with his two brothers. Ash confessed his dream is to be seen as a champion and Clemont says his dream is to see the electric shower. Ash sees Jessie and James directing an unfamiliar man in a red lab coat (Xerosic) to where him and Clemont are, and panics. He grabs Clemont and they try to escape out of the back, where they are confronted by Pikachu and a squad of Dedennes. Cilan grabs Clemont and directs him and Ash to an underground tunnel that will get them out of there, which the two and Luxray run down before Jessie, James and Xerosic can get in. Unfortunately for them, Pikachu also manages to follow them through the tunnel. Xerosic walks in and demands to know where the tunnel went. One of the people in the pub - Alain - tells him against the wishes of Brock and Misty. Xerosic takes Jessie and James to beat Ash and Clemont to the exit.
Clemont and Ash are halfway down the tunnel when Ash hands Clemont a pokeball. Clemont asks what it is, and Ash revealed that it would be easier for them to travel if Luxray was inside the pokeball. Clemont bolds the pokeball out, Luxray bops it with his nose and is sucked into it, and caught. Clemont is panicking that Luxray disappeared, whilst Ash reassures him that Luxray is safe in the pokeball. As the two get near the exit of the tunnel, it ends up looking like more of a cave and a stone is knocked loose, causing the cave to start flooding. This results in the water blocking their light source and the exit is hidden from view. (I don’t entirely recall what happens in the film here so I’m sorry and this bit might seem a little random in terms of the rest of the plot) Clemont and Ash are at the point of nearly drowning when Ash tells Clemont he’s really Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Clemont then confesses to Ash that he always takes a few of his inventions with him, and pulls out his HAIR, which when turned on, somehow gives off a little bit of light. The duo realise they can use this to escape, and when they find the exit of the cave, Clemont asks Ash why he lied to him and Ash says it’s because “It was easy.” Pikachu then fires an electroball at Ash, but Clemont takes the hit for him. Pikachu stops attacking whilst Ash looks at Clemont’s injury, which is quite a minor one, and Clemont asks Pikachu to trust Ash just until he gets back to the tower after seeing the electric shower. Ash notes that since Jessie and James were trying to capture both of them, they’re probably enemies now. He blames the stone heist on them and Pikachu relents, joining them on the journey. He sits on Ash’s shoulder to make sure he doesn’t do anything illegal.
Night falls and Ash shows Clemont how to make a fire. When he goes to get more firewood with Pikachu, Xerosic emerges from the bushes and grabs Clemont by the arm. He attempts to drag the lost gym leader back to the tower but Clemont breaks free and yells that he trusts Ash entirely. Xerosic laughs and mocks Clemont, saying Ash would never be trustable as the only reason he tolerated Clemont in the first place. He then dares Clemont to put his trust in Ash and give him the stone to watch how fast Ash would leave him. Xerosic then tells Clemont that he’ll be keeping an eye on him, leaves Clemont with the stone alone in the woods near the fire and disappears. Meanwhile Ash is trying to collect more wood but Pikachu is giving him a hard time. Pikachu seems to question why Ash is doing this, to which the boy has no idea. He says that something in his gut is drawing him to Clemont, but passes it off as an “opportunity”. He tells Pikachu how he feels obliged to take care of Clemont and yet again, passes it off as an “opportunity”. He returns to see Clemont visibly shaken and rushes to comfort him. Clemont then shows Ash some calculations based on the fire he did, but didn’t know how he did them. This amazes Ash who tells Clemont that the science he just did was so amazing, causing the lost gym leader to blush. They basically chat and have joke fights like an old married couple for a while, but neither of them are aware of this due to Ash being dense and Clemont not knowing what love is. Meanwhile, Xerosic is watching from the bushes, plotting how to use this to his advantage. He watched from afar as Ash pulls Clemont into an embrace as they go to sleep under the stars.
The next morning, Clemont prods Ash awake due to being scared of the unknown Pokémon surrounding them. It turns out that it’s actually the Royal Kalos Defence Force to arrest Ash and now Clemont as well. Ash asks Pikachu to help fight them off, and Luxray helps Clemont. They fight off the Dedennes and run into the city where preparations for the festival are being made. Clemont is overexcited at the sight of all the machines and Ash actually walks down a whole street is pop-up stands without stealing anything for once! Telling Clemont that, he takes the lost gym leader’s hand and drags him to the middle of the festival where a man called the Blasekin mask is giving a speech about it being his lost son’s 16th birthday. Clemont tells Ash that it’s his 16th birthday too, which shocks Ash. He buys Clemont a slice of cake to celebrate and the duo spend the day playing in three streets with everyone else. Pikachu and Luxray bond as well, and Luxray asks Pikachu and not arrest Ash. Pikachu says he’ll consider it. Non of the other humans know what the two Pokémon are saying.
During the festival, Clemont starts to come out of his shell whilst Ash is also having fun, no longer thinking of the stone. Clemont meets a young girl who says her name is Bonnie, and she’s the sister of the lost gym leader. Clemont asks what the lost gym leader is, to which Bonnie remarks that he “must’ve been locked in a tower all your life if you haven’t heard of him.” unaware of the irony of that statement. She explains that due to a prophecy, her brother was abducted at the age of 1 and a bit, and taken away from his father. Bonnie then proceeds to explain that after her brother went missing, her mother started to grow ill from heartache. When she gave birth to Bonnie 8 years later, the stress of having a baby drained the life from her, and whilst Bonnie survived, her mother didn’t. Both Ash and Clemont are horrified by this revelation and Bonnie remarks that Clemont’s eyes look like hers. She gives Clemont the Lumiose gym badge and smiles at him. Her father then approaches them, tells her not to talk to strangers, and leads Bonnie away. Clemont starts to cry into Ash’s shoulder as Ash stands there looking shocked. Clemont apologises for his emotions and Ash tells him not to worry about it as everyone feels sad sometimes. To put him at piece, Ash takes Clemont to see the flowers that decorate the memorial of the lost gym leader’s mother, which had a stone with the engraving of “The future is now thanks to science.” Clemont says quote feels familiar to him but he can’t place where from, causing Ash to look at him in confusion. Brushing it aside, he drags Clemont all around town to see all the inventions, all of which intrigue Clemont.
On the night of the festival, Ash says that the best place to see the festival is on top of the Pokémon Centre, but Clemont is scared of the heights. Ash helps him up and they watch the electric shower together. In the climax of the shower, Ash leans in to kiss Clemont for a reason he can’t quite place, but before he can actually kiss him, he sees James and Jessie behind Clemont on a building roof across the street and pulls away to go and talk to them. Clemont then gives the stone to Ash, surprising the their greatly, and agrees to let Ash go. Whilst Ash is gone, Xerosic emerges from behind and tells Clemont to be wary of Ash’s motives. Clemont is confused by this but Xerosic merely says he’ll wait for him by the back entrance to the Pokémon Centre. Ash goes to talk to Jessie and James but is captured by them and tied up by an electric net. They take Pikachu and go, leaving Ash to call for help in a soundproof room.
After Xerosic leaves, Clemont is sat by himself on the roof when he’s grabbed by Jessie and James, who tell him he’ll make them a lot of profit. He pulls himself out of their grasp and runs outside and calls for Ash’s help, to which the duo tell him not to bother as Ash was the one who told them to kidnap him before taking the stone and leaving. They back a resistant Clemont into a corner whilst telling him in detail how Ash said he was pathetic but could be used for other purposes, therefore making him a good trade. Clemont breaks down into tears when hearing of Ash’s betrayal and as Jessie and James are about to knock him out, they are attacked by a Malamar. As they’re knocked out, Xerosic returns the Malamar to a pokeball he’s holding, walks out towards Clemont who rushes to embrace him, and yells him that he’s here so everything will be ok. He puts an arm around Clemont and explains that Ash pretended to love him just to get the stone, which breaks Clemont’s heart. Xerosic leads Clemont home whilst the Royal Kalos Defence Force arrest Ash as well as Jessie and James.
Laying awake in the tower, Clemont is looking at the Lumiose gym badge in sadness when Xerosic sits on his bed. Clemont asks Xerosic why he saved him since Clemont disobeyed direct orders and left. Xerosic tells Clemont that whilst he’s very disappointed in him and will most likely punish him later, he still lives Clemont as “That’s what family does.” Clemont questions how they can be related, to which Xerosic ignores him. Clemont wonders aloud where Ash is now, and to distract him, Xerosic pulls out some of Clemont’s old inventions to remind him that he doesn’t need Ash. Clemont looks closely at his inventions and realise that the Lumiose gym badge has been carved on all of them, like some kind of sign. Rushing to his closet, he pulls out his old notebook, the first page reading “The future is now thanks to science.” He confronts Xerosic about it, using the signs and quote to question why he even knows these things from years ago if he’s only learned about them today. Clemont then questions why he’s so good at inventing as Xerosic never taught him, and reflects on how he shares the lost gym leader’s mother’s eyes. He points out how there was a physical resemblance between him and Bonnie, and how the electric shower happens to fall every year on his birthday. He tells Xerosic that his birthday is the same as the lost gym leaders birthday, which sends Xerosic into a panic. Clemont tells Xerosic with no question that he is the lost gym leader, which Xerosic feebly denies. As Clemont starts to question why Xerosic wouldn’t tell him, Xerosic yells at Clemont that he will never leave the tower. Clemont says that Xerosic can’t stop him, at which Xerosic tells Clemont about lysandres “contingency plan” and proceeds to back Clemont up into a corner. He takes the pokeball containing Luxray and puts it in his pocket, causing Clemont to cry out in guilt et not being able to stop Xerosic taking his new friend. As Clemont is stood helpless, pinned in the corner by Xerosic, he pulls out a phone in front of Clemont and phones Lysander, saying half to Lysander and half to Clemont, “Director, it’s time for plan B.”
Meanwhile, Ash is sat in jail with Jessie and James, and he asks them how they could betray them. They say that Xerosic bribed them, and Ash leaves it at that. As Ash tries to break out, they muse about how they need a cool new duo name when a Meowth walks up to the cell and talks in the human language, shocking the three criminals. He says he heard from people within Lysandres organisation called Team Flare that they were using a new method of confining the lost gym leader to prism tower. Whilst Jessie and James are shocked that this Meowth knew where the lost gym leader was the entire time, Ash realised that Clemont is actually the lost gym leader, and that he’s in danger. He begs the Meowth to break them out, to which the Meowth replies “Back up’s outside.” As he breaks the cell open, all of Ash’s new friend from the pub help break him out. Pikachu jumps on Ash’s shoulder, and Ash realised that Pikachu got the people from the pub to come break him out! He thanks Pikachu, and together they rush off to prism tower to help Clemont escape from Xerosic.
When Ash gets to prism tower, he asks Clemont to let down his HAIR, which is lowered quickly. Ash climbs up the rope only to be met with the sight of Clemont in chains with a gag around his mouth, trying to tell Ash to flee. Xerosic creeps up behind Ash and stabs him with a dagger, causing Clemont to cry out in guilt and Ash to tell in pain as he falls to the ground. Xerosic tells Clemont that this is his fault and proceeds to drag him towards a secret trapdoor leading to an isolated basement that Clemont didn’t know about. Clemont is resisting this and eventually manages to get the gag to fall from his mouth and hang around his neck. He then tells Xerosic that he will never stop trying to get away unless he lets Clemont use his invention to save Ash. Xerosic reluctantly agrees and unchains Clemont, who frantically rushes to Ash’s aid whilst Xerosic watches from by the trapdoor. Ash asks what the invention does and Clemont explains quickly that is would patch up the wound. Ash then asks how much it can be used, to which Clemont replies “only once.” As the lost gym leader aims at Ash’s wound, Ash deliberately knocks the invention as Clemont pulls the trigger so that the invention fires at Xerosic instead, causing is body to freeze over in some kind of cocoon. As his face freezes over, the last this he addresses to Clemont is “What have you done?!” He drops Luxray’s pokeball causing the Pokémon to come out. Pikachu then runs up to him and with Luxray they both aim a powerful thunderbolt star Xerosic’s comatose from gyre, causing it to break into small pieces, effectively killing Xerosic. Clemont is too caught up sobbing into Ash’s chest to notice - he asks Ash why he sacrificed himself for him, to which Ash merely replies that “science is so amazing” As Clemont accepts that he’s going to loose Ash for good, he leans in to kiss Ash, to which Ash responds by putting his lips on Clemont’s. Suddenly, Clemont’s glasses light up and like he suddenly pulls out an old fabreze. Using different components from around the room, in less than 15 seconds, he manages to convert it to a “Heal my love-inator” and applies it to Ash’s stab wound. As the bleeding stops and the wound disappears, Clemont tells Ash that they need to get to a Pokémon center now. Ash says he feels fine, which surprises Clemont greatly. Ash asks Clemont how he knew how to do that to his invention. Clemont replies that honestly has no idea, and Ash kisses him again, causing Clemont to blush. He backs away, telling Ash that they can kiss after Ash is patched up by Nurse Joy. Ash says that he feels completely normal, and describes Clemont’s new invention as some kind of “super-duper max revive potion!” which causes Clemont to blush. Clemont reveals that he had no idea what he was doing, which amazes Ash even more. Clemont then goes to look at the remains of Xerosic, trying not to cry. Ash then takes Clemont and his HAIR, saying that he’s free to go and live his life now. Cutting the HAIR apart, Clemont says that he has no use for it and begs Ash to take him around the world because after being locked up for so long, he wants to know what he’s missed out on. Ash then says that there’s somewhere they need to go first.
Ash takes Clemont to the professor’s lab, at which Clemont is completely star-struck. Hearing the duo, Professor Sycamore emerges with Meyer and Bonnie in tow, to which Bonnie says hi to Ash and Clemont again. Professor Sycamore asks them who they are, and Ash merely replies with “So, I kinda stole your stone but I brought it back as well as someone else.” Clemont nervously approaches Meyer and holds out the Lumiose gym badge, saying quietly, “I think I’m your son.” Meyer looks down at him and simply responds with a hug, causing Clemont to blush and Ash to start crying quietly. Bonnie looks at Ash in confusion, and he just mutters “Shut up.” Professor Sycamore says that since the lost gym leader has been found, they can reopen prism tower since it’s been out of use since Clemont was taken as a baby. Clemont just looks at Ash and tells the room that he never wants to step foot in prism tower again, which is why he’ll build a replacement gym leader called Clembot. He also suggests that to celebrate the purpose for him meeting Ash, he makes mini electric showers for Pokémon like Pikachu and Luxray. Meyer explains that those Pokémon are called “electric types” to which Clemont says he wants to know everything about them. Taking his boyfriend by the arm, Ash says that there’s plenty of time for that, and tells Clemont to get ready for the world. As they leave, Professor Sycamore remarks that it’s the world that should get ready for Clemont. Bonnie asks Meyer, “What did the prophecy say again?”
As we see Clemont and Ash on their journey together, we hear the background narration of what the prophecy says, told by Meyer’s disembodied voice. He says that “On a dark summers night, all that is innocent and promising shall be lost. At the other side of the year after many have gone, it shall be found again. The nature of that which has been concealed shall rise to the occasion and bless Kalos with scientific discovery both great and little. A champion shall rise by his side, and together they shall take the world in electric storms, bringing knowledge and prosperity to wherever they go.”
The voiceover changes from Meyer’s voice to Lysander’s voice who closes a book containing the original written prophecy. Shaking his head, we see him walk around prism tower, kneeling by the remains of Xerosic as he sighs to himself. Standing up, he faces away from the camera and says to nobody in particular; “Oh Xerosic, your efforts still remain in vain. I suppose if you want anything done right, you have to do it yourself.”
The end.
That’s pretty much my idea. I wrote it on Notes so I apologise if the text format looks a little weird. I know the plot is a bit rough in some places but please bare with me: I am by no means a writer and merely had the idea in the heat of the moment when I saw the username. Thanks to @prismtowerprincess for the inspiration :) I know this idea probably sucks, but this is just an idea. Hopefully you like it :)

2019 Fic Roundup
It seems like a good time to take stock of my fanfic output from 2019. Like last year, I wrote a lot more than I thought I had!
8 different stories (all Steggy)
11 separate posting occasions (because I posted several chapters in ongoing WIPs)
41655 words (slightly less than last year, but still, more than I thought!)
Here they are:
1. A Stutter in Time, chapters 9, 10, and 11 (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 10318 words (in these 3 chapters added together) 1945 Peggy Carter appears in Tony Stark’s lab, and immediately throws a wrench into everything.
2. Secret Identity (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 2018 words Peggy’s friends have some misgivings about the mysterious new man in her life.
3. But Not As Long As She Did (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 8352 words “You fought side-by-side with Captain America, didn’t you?” “Yeah. But not as long as she did.” Aka five times Peggy rescued Steve in a fight (and one time he rescued her).
4. The Midnight Clear (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 3340 words An unexpectedly dramatic Christmas Eve in occupied France.
5. You Must Have Danced, chapters 6 and 7 (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 1962 words (in these 2 chapters added together) This is my collection of Steggy Tumblr ficlets. Chapter 6, “Here Comes the Bride”:  Thompson and Sousa attend Peggy Carter's wedding, and have a slight disagreement about the identity of the groom. Chapter 7, “The Stork Club”: This year it's Peggy's turn to be late.  
6. Spies and Showgirls, chapter 1 (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 2333 words  Peggy goes undercover on the Captain America USO tour.
7. Fraternization (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 3423 words As if Carter and Rogers weren’t bad enough separately. Phillips is getting too old for this.
8. The Best Laid Plans (Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers) - 9909 words If she’d had any idea Steve was alive, Peggy would have gone about this rather differently.

All 32 Memorable Scenes from Avengers: Endgame, Ranked (because to leave out even one would do this movie a disservice)
Tumblr media
Before we begin, I wish to make three disclaimers:
Literally ALL THE SPOILERS AHEAD, so go see it first. Seriously. It’s fantastic. It’s greater than the sum of all 22 of its parts. It’s a three hour movie that doesn’t feel too long. It’s funny, heart-wrenching, thrilling, and the pay-off we all deserve. I cannot say enough good things about it. Faith restored.
Despite how critical I sound, I didn’t HATE any of these moments. Some just worked better than others.
I had to go to the bathroom three times, so if I’m missing an amazing scene, please let me know in the comments.
And now, without further ado, every moment from this epic epic, ranked from “worst” to best.
Tumblr media
32) Hawkeye for an Eye- Clint going on a faceless-villain killing spree after his family dies is stupidly cliche
31) One too many Cap Speeches- I hope you like your films like you like your pizza: warm and cheesy.
30) Come and Get Your Concussion- Knocking out Quill to pre-steal the power stone was just kinda funny
29) Bruce Rolls a Natural 20- Convincing the Ancient One to hand over the Time Stone felt a little too easy.
28) Picnic Panic- Watching Clint lose his family was rough, but the mom dutifully serving lunch felt cringe
27) Hulk Snaps- While I enjoyed the suspense/uncertainty that follows this moment, it’s weird that a finger snap is actually required to activate the stones powers, except all the times in the movie when it’s not
26) Iron Man Snaps- For such a hugely important moment, the “I am Iron Man” line felt eye-rollingly forced
25) Time Heist is Botched when Loki AGAIN Steals the Tesseract- What a wascally wabbit. You could practically hear the Benny Hill theme in this scene
24) Nebula Shoots Herself- I feel like the “evil” Nebula went down way too easy for the sake of pacing
23) Thor Goes for the Head- Aside from a clever moment in which you think Thanos is altering reality to defend himself but it’s really the Hulk Buster breaking through the floor, this scene is underwhelming
22) My Self-Righteous Suicide- The cliffs of Vormir is a great motif, but wondering which of the two most insignificant Avengers would successfully kill themselves lacked the punch it should have had.
21) Thor Abides- it’s nice that Valkyrie gets crowned the “king” and all, but the new role feels out of character
20) Tony and the Intergalactic Facetime- Paper football is cute, and Tony’s goodbye felt appropriately emotional
Tumblr media
19) Iron Dad- this film’s packed to the brim with father/daughter moments, but “Love You 3000” is a good one
18) Let Me Guess, He Turned into a Baby- who doesn’t love a “working out the kinks” tech montage?
17) Scott Reconnects with Cassie- Checking the wall of the dead, and finding her alive? Instant tears
16) America’s Ass- Cap fighting his past self wasn’t surreal enough to stop him from ogling his own butt. Nice.
15) Tony Invents Time Travel- It had been way too long since we had a “Tony does his homework” montage.
14) Every Time Brie Larson entered the shot like a literal shooting star- I will never get tired of her entrances, especially sporting her new do.
Tumblr media
13) The Funeral- The Proof that Tony Stark has a Heart is also proof that we love RDJ even more than we realized
12) That 70’s Show- Giving Tony the father/son talk he always deserved/needed was touching, and Steve’s creepy Jim Halpert impersonation sets the movie up for that incredible final shot
11) Passing the Torch/Shield- Old Cap made me so happy, but passing the mantle to Sam? Even happier. Hope it made racists everywhere uncomfortable
10) Emaciated, Stir Crazy Tony DESTROYS Boy Scout Steve Upon Reunion- Were we really expecting a hug?
9) Professor Hulk Takes a Seflie with Fans at a Diner- the precise moment I knew this movie would rock
8) The Taco- I had a very lousy Monday, but still laughed on three separate occasions when I remembered this masterpiece of silent slapstick.
7) Thor Handles His Mommy Issues- you know a movie’s good when it retroactively redeems DARK WORLD.
6) Elevator Redux- Everything about this scene. The tension. The parallelism. The way Steve defeats the entire platoon with a single, sly “Hail Hydra” is both really smart writing and a nod to fans of the comics & films.
5) The Future is Female- suspend your disbelief and realize that this gorgeous, empowering team-up moment is a giant middle finger to all the dude bros who review bombed Captain Marvel. Plus, there’s a freakin’ pegasus.
4) Cap Proves He’s Worthy- the most thrilling, shocking, satisfying, and important fight in the whole film. My whole theater got chills.
3) Thor Really Lets Himself Go- Fat shaming aside, seeing Thor bicker with kids on Xbox Live and belligerently request a Blood Mary is yet another believable, endearing, & hilarious reinvention of the character. The only thing that would have made it better would have been the addition of Darryl as a third flatmate.
2)The Gang’s All Here- I never thought they could pull it off, but when the resurrected heroes, all several thousand of them, return from the dead to fight Thanos’ army, it ACTUALLY felt surprising, moving, and most importantly, earned. Spider-Man’s instant kill. Black Panther emerging from the Lion King sunrise. That look on Hope’s face. IT’S ALL SO DAMN GOOD!!!
1)The Dance- Maybe it’s because I’ve always been Team Cap, but what a perfect way to close a perfect film. I cried tears of pure joy.

[Shizaya] Coping Mechanism — Ch 7
[Previous Chapters | Ao3]     Without so much as a drumroll reveal, Shizuo looked at their shrouded meal with abject horror, as though he already knew the innards of the boxed food. Widened eyes, invisible sweat, he suffered from the bane of a psychic's foresight, somehow incapable of receiving the gift as a surprise. In actuality it was the scent of specific spices that he was experienced enough with to separate the smell from stale apartment air.
    “She made curry.”
Experienced, because Shizuo seemed to have trauma attached to the dish, which the sight scrunched Izaya’s nose as he struggled to recall something. A shared memory, or that’s what he felt it might be, one that he should know like a favourite meal — because it was one of his —the meal— and he hadn’t eaten it for quite some time. Izaya struggled to peel the lid off the plasticware, simultaneously struggled to keep his focus on Shizuo’s expression as he did, his hope to gain insight play-by-play. Thoroughly to the end, it was identical horror that remained his reaction even when the prediction was confirmed.
     “Well isn't that a treat.” When he peered down at box cradled in his hands he smiled partially. “Namie-san makes delicious traditional brown curry.”
     “I know.”
Disgust poisoned his lips.
     Oh boy...
     “Hm? Why the resentful tone, Shizu-chan?”
    “Don't play innocent!”
    “I can’t play if it’s not an act. Consider that I don’t always have something up my sleeve.” He showed off a naked wrist, his cuff that was gathered at his elbow.
    Shizuo regarded it as evidence that waived off criminal charges, but was disgruntled with the verdict. “Maybe I'm the only one who remembers 'cause I was the one who couldn't live up to your standards.”
Did Shizuo really remember something he didn’t, or was it that he pulled at his strings? Izaya studied the curry from vegetable chunk to protein, the rich cedar to the darkened ring around the edge; individual ingredients each acted a recollection of the last time he indulged — the sprig of garnish that he often discarded was the sinker of what line Shizuo cast to fish for.
“Ahh,” Izaya drew out grimly, “you made me curry once, didn't you?”
    “Oh Shizu-chan, I think even the roux, rues the day it tasted this curry.” Izaya addressed the toasted flour mixture that separated itself from broth, dripped from the spoon to add gloss back from where it came.
    “It's inspired; smokey, but only because it was burned. Spiced, but not well and probably a cover for your flubbed ratio.”
    Fingers wrapped around the granite counter, flexed, but considered not to damage the surface as an unconscious favour. “What the hell!? I make you goddamn curry and all you can do is critique it?!”     “I thought you’d want constructive feedback.”
    “Feedback? That's constructive feedback? Sounds like you're needlessly harsh of my cooking, like you're protective of a lover and their shitty food,” Shizuo muted his tongue, temporarily numbed his ability to use it, “or something.”
    Izaya dropped his spoon and fed a cackle to his laugh. “A lover? You think me and Namie-san…?”
    “Yeah, okay,” Shizuo raked his bangs back, “maybe… Maybe I'm paranoid.”
    “Just because we had a one night stand hardly means I’m primed to cheat, Shizu-chan.”
    The glossed stone creaked out in mercy as Shizuo got bested by confirmation bias.“You two slept together?”
    “Once.”
    “When?”
    “Jealous are we?”
    “Fucking when!?” He slammed his hands down and rattled tabled utensils and troubled thoughts.
    Izaya eased himself back for an escape. “Sometime between you wanting me hospitalised and you personally wanting to bury me six-feet under. No matter; about the time she gave me head, the only one you wanted was mine on a platter.”
    “Fuck you.”
    “Well, you didn't want to…” he wryly added.
    “Why the hell didn't you tell me? Why the hell is she still your secretary?”
    “One, it never came up. Two, she most assuredly pictured me as her brother, so what does that tell you? Three,” he added a thumb to his presented peace sign, “you never told me about your fling with that Vorona chick, but I never questioned your faithfulness.”
    “...oh…” The evidence recoiled Shizuo, foiled his argument with a bullet of truth; taken to the chest and slumped him further into a leatherback barstool. He put more wear into the kitchen furniture than it would’ve procured in its lifetime.
Izaya held the rack of his trepidatious nerves while he searched for any sign of hostility he should be wary of; all he found was a hint of jealousy that dissolved into regret, swirled around his lip curled strong and circled his heavy eyes.
    “So can we move on and go get take out? I'll treat you to whatever your heart desires.” Izaya forced himself to add soft consolation to his demand as he rolled his eyes and rose; he pushed his seat in prematurely, desperate to leave the offensive curry behind.
    Shizuo was stone in his slump, “I'm not hungry.”
    A click of his tongue and Izaya was already on his way out. “What a bother you can be.”
    “I wanted to try my luck at the dish you loved so much. Make it just like she made it.”
    “Well, I understand that now. Though you did unfairly accuse me. A tad bit overreacted.” Izaya rebutted poignantly.
    “Because you were an asshole!”
    Izaya flicked the tip of Shizuo’s nose, “because that’s reason to believe I cheated. Besides, was I more of an asshole than normal? You should expect that I’ll act that way.” He never had the blunt force that his partner did — rather his ex, but it snapped Shizuo out of his funk all the same, a chuckle just at the back of his throat.
    “We kinda messed that up.”
    “Shizu-chan, we messed a lot of things up, not even just this.” A flash of anxiety struck his features. “But that's our thing: we fight, we fuck, we fuck things up.”
    “We do.” Shizuo nodded before he shook his head in dismay.
    “But you know what's not fucked up?”
    “Hm?”
Izaya preceded his response with the taste he tested off his finger, a healthy amount of a congealed glob he swiped from the container.
    “This curry.”
    “Oh, shut up! How good could a flea's taste buds be?”
A duplicate crinkle adorned their eyes as they loosened up to the idea that the other was their dinner date. They both decided with a silent nod: their food held no significance other than their current satiation. It was anti-climatic and easier than expected, so they grasped at the chance to move on, now with a check that marked off their progress on a laundry list of conflict.
    Their knees were set two inches apart from being uncomfortable as they leaned into their conversation. Colourful and boisterous, they exchanged nothings and happenstances; expended their backlog of stories they'd kept fresh, in hopes that one day they could share them with the other — with Izaya's beautiful monologues for Shizuo, and Shizuo's stroll through vignettes for Izaya. Light and sweet, it threatened to run their wells dry before they could add more to prevent future boredom.
    “...even Tom was pissed.” Shizuo favoured the right side of the ceiling to pluck details from his memory. “He pushed me back an’ yelled right in the bastard’s face.”
    “That's cute, Shizu-chan. Oddly a relief,” Izaya held out a spoon before him, full up on rice and less curry.
    “A relief, eh?” He edged forward to blow steam off the surface, his hand cupped below the gap of another.
    “Seems I don't have to worry about my bodyguard now that he finally has his own bodyguard.”
Shizuo stole his offered bite just to hold the moment that they were connected by proxy; he let the curved metal shape his lips. Perhaps they noticed the slip-up Izaya made of ownership, like it was still his to claim — as if it never wasn't. They acted ignorant of the glitch in his program.
All the while, a particular glisten gathered at the corner of Shizuo's eye; a type of saline Izaya recognised as a product of relieved humour. It was subtle, the difference between what he himself willed back and what the other man let show, but the similarities made it an endearing shared reaction.
Suddenly aware of Shizuo's ridiculous position the two separated — a spoon protracted, the blond fully weighed his chair down, but words continued on after only a short pause.
    “As if I needed one,” he smirked.
    Izaya hummed for him to reconsider, “debt collecting is a dangerous job, what with those horny idiots who can't keep it in their pants, much more their wallet in their pockets.”
    “That's true.”
    “I often speak the truth.”
They brushed knees; the minor touch was warmer than what kneecaps should provide, rather it transposed emotion, wafted over their connection like Summer air. There was a spark that hadn’t shocked them months prior, even further days in the past. At their beginning it was frigid, but also a comfort to share their freezer space, with hands occasionally clutched as a sign that they were trying.
Now, though, it was hard to ignore the spill of kinetic energy that tickled their fingertips and resonated up to burn their cheeks.
    “...I missed this.”
    “What exactly?”
    “Us chattin’,” Shizuo shrugged, careful not to wrench them apart, “your wit.”
    “Oh~? I distinctly remember you making snide remarks about it on several occasions.” Izaya swallowed his own bite, barely able to breathe before Shizuo suggested his piled up cutlery like a comrade smoker that shared his lighter.
Politely, Izaya shook his head, held up a hand that asked for pause; hesitated when Shizuo pressed a little further — eventually gave in. Especially, he savoured the flavour.
    “It wasn't that often.”
    “I mean it was weekly, Shizuo. It was several times weekly.”
    “Doesn't that mean you used witticisms too much?”
    “Woah!” Izaya brightened. “That's my boy, upping his banter game!” He motioned to applaud, but a smashed potato to his mouth beat pride to the punch.
    “God, you're an annoying pest.”
    Izaya sputtered the spud; it sounded much like an intentional spit take. With the back of his hand he cleaned starchy specks from his mouth, “likewise, kettle-chan.”
    Shizuo smudged the final fleck from Izaya's lip with his thumb. “Whatever, pot-kun.”
AN: Likes and comments are appreciated. I adore them and they’re always a boost to my mood. If you enjoyed this chapter, reblogs are an immense help as they get more eyes on my work. I say this shamelessly for myself and other fanfic writers — we have a hard time getting noticed and I ain’t too proud to beg for our lot. uwu ♡ ☆ Thank you so much for reading! ☆

1--50 because I always like learning more bout you guys :PPPPP for xxx, maybe your favorite fic? Or Distance of the Falling Sun :D
Thanks for making me answer all the asks, I really enjoyed doing this, a jog down the memory lane is always beautiful. Also, this gives me a chance to make up for misunderstanding RuRu’s prior request (so sorry, babe).
1) How old were you when youfirst started writing fanfiction?
I started writing headcanonsin my native language when I was 12; I posted my first fic when I was 15.
2) What fandoms do you writefor and do you have a particular favourite if you write for more than one?
I’ve written for FinalFantasy VIII (Seinoa, Seifistis), Slam Dunk (SenRu), Lovely Complex (OtaRisa),Kimi no Todoke (Kazehaya/Kuronama) and Wallflower (SunaKyo). I’m currentlywriting for the love of AoKise (Kuroko no Basuke).
3) Do you prefer writing OC’sor reader inserts? Explain your answer.
I prefer OCs. I find readerinserts kinda weird.
4) What is your favouritegenre to write for?
Romantic comedies.
5) If you had to choose afavourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be andwhy?
Love is a Scheme (forWallflower fandom) is my fave multi-chapter that I’ve written. One is becauseI’ve managed to finish writing it and two, it has all my favorite elements:denial of feelings, enemies to lovers, love confessions, meddling friends. Ihad so much fun writing that story and readers have loved it, too.
6) If you had to delete oneof your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?
Perhaps that lame attempt ata songfic I wrote for Final Fantasy VIII fandom, ugh. No particular plot andinfused with bad grammar. But no matter how much I cringed at my earlierstories, I can’t bring myself to delete them because I still come back to thesefics sometimes if just to see how much I’ve grown as a writer over the years.
7) When is your preferredtime to write?
Daytime.
8) Where do you take yourinspiration from?
Poetry, quotes, metaphors,old songs. Also, from personal experience, sometimes.
9) Inyour [Distance of the Falling Sun] fic, what’s your favourite scene that youwrote?
Two.
The two of them are idiots in love, this, Kise is sure. He lifts hishead and meets Aomine’s face with a smile. Happiness sweeps across Aomine’sfeatures too, as he thumbs softly on the skin under Kise’s eyes, wiping awayhis tears.
“If only you told me sooner,” Aomine tells him with a smirk, theirfaces only inches away from each other.
“Excuse me, but you should’ve said something too.” Kise shoots back.
“Are we bickering again?”
“We’re not.”
(My fave scene because itfeels authentic AoKise, dorkos snapping at each other right after confession>.<)
10) Inyour [DotFS] fic, why did you decide to end it like that? Did you have analternative ending in mind?
There’s supposed to be a“Zero”, because the prompt is actually, “write a story with a countdown from 10to 0″. I tried to push for it but my sentences refuse to work out so I ended itat one.
11) Have you ever amended astory due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?
I haven’t.
12) Who is your favouritecharacter to write for? Why?
Currently, it’s Aomine.Ironically, I don’t like him at first but now, I’m totally captivated by thischild, my heart is his. I think he has the best character development in KnB,with that gripping heart-wrenching backstory. I find it easy to write his tendencies and basicways. He’s flawless but at the same time, flawed in so many ways. If I peeloff his layers, I always find wonderful gems. I like going through the heads of flawed characters.
13) Who is your leastfavourite character to write for? Why?
Um, none.
14) Howdid you come up with the title for the [Distance of the Falling Sun]? - You canask about multiple stories.
I wanted to play with metaphors,heh. ‘Distance’ because Kise is chasing after Aomine, always yearning forAomine’s affections and he thinks Aomine is beyond his reach. ‘Falling Sun’because this is really about Kise, ‘burning’ with unrequited feelings.
15) If you write OC’s, how doyou decide on their names?
I take the names of myfavorite characters from other fandoms. For example, in my fic, Where YouBelong, Kise’s father is named ‘Takenaga’, he’s actually from the anime,Wallflower. Aomine’s mom will be named ‘Sayuri’, from Memoirs of a Geisha. Ialso employ the help of Google, to see if the meanings behind the names Ichoose will actually fit my OC.
16) Howdid you come up with the idea for [DotFS]?
I chanced on the prompt onTumblr and immediately, the angst muse overwhelmed me. Also, this doujin. Ijumped on the ‘unrequited love’ theme because it’s something that I personallyexperienced. With this fic, it’s structure first before the plot instead ofvice-versa and that came as a big challenge, I never thought I’d write it down.I only have the shaky idea for ten, three and one but how to fill in the rest,I don’t even know. Months after, the muse have shown mercy.
17) Post a line from a WIPthat you’re working on.
Waiting–he’s done enough of it to endure through its pain, a furnacerefining his patience like silver into flame.
(From ‘Worth the Wait’, anattempt at RinHaru, Idek.)
18) Do you have any abandonedWIP’s? What made you abandon them?
I’ve two. One is an AoKise. Ijust felt like there’s something lacking with the plot and I tried to think ofways to patch things up but sadly, nothing ever seemed to work. It upsets metoo, that I suddenly lost the interest to finish it because I’ve already hit6,000+ words.
19) Are there any storiesthat you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?
I want to do a sequel for IHear You through these Walls, the Kise side of the story, what he thinks of hiscute neighbor next door and what really happened between him and Haizaki.
Worst Birthday Ever – theAomine and friends part as they plan for Kise’s birthday. While WBE has lightangst, The Making of the Best Birthday Ever will be full of bickering idiots.And a little Aominecchi guiltrip (because of the phone call) will be explored in the sequel.
Rest is for the Weak – Aominecaught the flu because of the kiss. He puts the blame on Kise and  demands for Kise to care for him, too. It’smostly Aho having the time of his life, supremely enjoying Kise’sattention.  
20) Are there any storiesthat you wished you’d ended differently?
In that first fic I’vewritten, the MCs used to be lovers. They had a shot at being together again butin the end, they chose differently and still went their separate ways. I wishthey’ve been together.
21) Tell me about anotherwriter(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?
There are so many but I’ll gowith these writers whose stories I always come back to, again and again:
Ashbear (FFVIII, Squinoa) –Writes with superior plot and superior characterization. She’s my childhoodfanfic hero. A decade later, I still find myself re-reading her stories, and onsome occasions, I still leave a comment, a plea, hoping she’ll finish‘Somewhere in Between’.  
Aki Midori (Slam Dunk, SenRu)– I always go back to her deathfics like a deranged masochist. Her storieseffin hurts like hell but so, so addictive.
For KnB, there are too manybut I’m all for these amazecakes authors:
Beautiful Thief (AoKise) – Iowe it to her fics which nurtured and nourished the AoKise monster in me duringits infancy.
DigimonDestined (AoKise) –she weaves beautiful imagery with her words, I’m weak for her rich descriptionsthat put me right into the heart of the situation and into the big mood.
dawnstruck (AoKise) – shewrites with short sentences but her writing style has this magical allure to itthat drives all the feels home.
Himi (KagaKise) – writes withlovely, complicated and realistic emotions that are eye-opening and gutwrenching.
22) Do you have a story thatyou look back on and cringe when you reread it?
The first two fics I’vewritten. It’s a wonder how readers have endured and managed to leave some nicewords.
23) Do you prefer listeningto music when you’re writing or do you need silence?
Hush, I need Silence.
24) How do you feel aboutwriting smutty scenes?
I haven’t tried, heh, andjust thinking about it makes me uncomfortable primarily because I can’t bringto words something that I have very little knowledge and experience of. I maytry to do some research but I don’t think it’ll come as authentic if my heart’snot really into it. I can insinuate love making but to go into the territories ofexplicit, I’ll have to pass ;D Even as a reader, I shy away from E-ratedstories. When I make rare exceptions, I skip the smut or I don’t dwell too longon these parts of the story. I’m pretty much contented with my ships being allkissy-kissy and touchy-feely when they get physical.
25) Have you ever criedwhilst writing a story?
Yes, because I can’t describea scene that’s just so vivid in my head. I see my words and shat, I want toshoot myself.
26) Which part of your [DotFS]fic was the hardest to write?
Eight, Seven, Four. At four,dammit, I’m almost done! Something has to be written, something has to work.Luckily, four walls of the empty room, heh.
27) Do you make a generaloutline for your stories or do you just go with the flow?
I make a general outline, Ineed to see the full picture before I get myself invested in a plot. I workwith tunnel vision, slowly from the ground up. There has to be a working title,too, before I get past 500 words.
28) What is something youwished you’d known before you started posting fanfiction?
That consistency in verbtenses matter.
29) Do you have a story thatyou feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?
I would want all of mystories to get so much love heh, but setting aside my weaknesses as a writer, I’vealways been drawn to small, semi-active or defunct fandoms so my expectationsaren’t really that high…As long as I’m getting some, I’ve been happy with thelove I get.
30) In contrast to 29 isthere a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?
I’ve breached lewd levels withMy Favorite Costume but then, I’m glad it got nice loving from readers.
31) Send me a ficrecommendation and I’ll post it for my followers to see! (The asker is to sendthe rec not the answerer)
I’ve never been happier, thatyou enjoyed DotFS. You want angst and Teiko!Aokise, I’m stoked when the ideahit me, I can finally gift you a fic that you might actually like.
32) Are any of yourcharacters based on real people?
Some scenes are loosely basedon first hand experiences.
33) What’s the biggestcompliment you’ve gotten?
“Your storytelling is impeccablysubtle; you show but don’t tell. As I was reading, I could see everything in mymind as if I was there with the characters and living through them. The littleshock at the end was bloody brilliant.”
This comment is quite memorable andimportant to me because it’s for the first-ever angsty-fangsty story I’vewritten way back when (for Final Fantasy VIII fandom (my first love)), withonly 600 words. I was young, had just started writing and simply doing it because I deeply love the characters. This comment made me so happy years ago,and had sparked a bigger desire in my young-once heart to put my ideas intowords and throw ‘em all out there for people to see.
34) What’s the harshestcriticism you’ve gotten?
The reader said that she was terriblydisappointed with the ending I had. She said she followed the story with highhopes but the ending just, meh.
Well, I was young, it’s formy first fanfic and I’ve written all chapters of it before I posted so I’m notreally that open to changes and suggestions. But looking back, yes, reader wasdefinitely right, the ending sucked.
35) Do you share your storyideas with anyone else or do you keep them close to your chest?
Close to my chest. I’m notreally that confident with the things in my head, I mostly feel I’m getting judged when I share my ideas.
36) Can you give us a spoilerfor one of your WIP’s?
In Where You Belong, therewill be a scene where they celebrate Kise’s birthday and everyone but Aho gothim a gift.
37) What’s the funniest storyyou’ve written?
Maybe, Rest is for the Weak?You said Aomine was strangely acting like a mother hen in that one.
38) If you could collab withany other writer on here, who would it be? (Perhaps this question will inspiresome collabs!) If you’re shy, don’t tag the blog, just name it.
I’d love to work with any ofthe friendos in the AoKise~ discord.
39) Do you prefer first,second or third person?
Third person. I like tellingstories through the bird’s eye view, it gives me a lot of control.
40) Do people know you writefanfiction?
For sure, my mom will disownme if she finds out about the things I write. Only two people in real life knewthat I do fanfics. I told one friend during high school and a cousin who is somuch into anime accidentally found out.
41) What’s your favouriteminor character you’ve written?
Ranmaru (Wallflower) in Loveis a Scheme. With his charms, he successfully made his friend jealous out ofhis wits which resulted into an awkward confession.
42) Song fic - What made youdecide to use the song xxx for xxx.
I only wrote 1 songfic forthe heck of it. The song was very popular at that time
43) Has anyone ever guessedthe plot twist of one of your fics before you posted it?
I haven’t encountered suchcomments from my readers..
44) What is the last line youwrote?
Can’t you see how he looks atour Ryou-chan like he’s looking at fireworks?
45) What spurs you on duringthe writing process?
Thinking I’m getting closerto fluffy, lovey-dovey scenes gets me going. The fluff scenes are my ‘checkpoint’,my pit-stop for every leg of the writing journey.
46) Ireally loved your [Distance of the Falling Sun] fic. If you were ever to do asequel, what do you think might happen in it?
Hey, thank you for the love!If there will be a sequel, it will be a countdown beginning from 1 to 10, set10 years into the future, in Aomine’s POV as he recalls the ups and downs, thejoys and pains of his beautiful relationship with Kise.
47) Here’s afic title – [The man who never lied (or morelike, what would a story inspired by that song be about? :D)]. Whatwould this story be about? (from Ruru’s ask too)
Mmm. Ok, first, I love Maroon 5 and ADAM LEVINE! I’ll write an AoKiserunning along these lines: What Kise would give up for Aomine to achieve hisdreams… What Aomine would give up just to keep Kise’s love. Or, Aomine is tornbetween choosing to follow his dreams of becoming an NBA player or keeping thelove of his life. On the premise that he can’t have both because real life islike that… you can’t be thoroughly happy XD
(Because I’ve read a lot ofstories wherein Ao gets to be NBA star and gets Kise too. Not that I don’tthink he deserves all the joys of this life, but I want to explore this Ao whogets to give up his dreams for Kise. Ofc, I’ll make him choose love overdreams, heh.)
48) What’s your favouritetrope to write?
Enemies to lovers.
49) Can you remember thefirst fic you read? What was it about?
Yes, I do. Its title is Giftof Love (FFVIII fandom). It’s inspired by O’Henry’s The Gift of the Magi. Lotsof angst and fluff in the end.
50)If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life,which would it be and why?
Angst. I love writing journeys that explorethe depths of human emotions and I think there’s no better way than angst tobring me there. But with happy endings. Always with happy endings. Because thatis the whole point of my shipping, to see my children struggle in the midst ofthe storm, turbulent waters raging all around, and see them dock safe and soundto happy couple-land.

Darkwing and Donald: the best parents (a head canon on one of the many thoughts I have on good parenting)
Or: Why Dewey and Gosalyn are in dire need of good parenting and are offered stellar parenting instead.
she first notices it when her father takes her to see the fintastic four and while she’d shoveled popcorn into her mouth, making sure to keep as much as she could away from him, she noticed. 
just in general. she noticed. things. like things about Susan Storm. like how Susan Storm looked in those outfits and how Susan Storm flicked her hair and how Susan Storm was most definitely the greatest part of the movie and she sort of forget the plot for a second because she was busy noticing Susan Storm-
she mentioned that offhand at lunch on Monday. one of the sixth graders, two grades ahead of her, snorted and spat out a word she didn’t know, but for some reason knew well enough to punch him strait in the underbill. her father would look in the rearview mirror after he’d picked her up and asking “what were you thinking!? he was bigger than you, Gosalyn, you can’t go punching people for saying things you don't like!”
“he called me a...” she swallowed. didn’t say it. 
drake mallard doesn’t wait to heart it. instead he says “don’t pay attention to it. it’s not true” and squeezes her hand. 
her stomach twists into the arctic. 
Gosalyn Mallard confiding in Huey (her sickly brother from another mother) that she might be...
... gay
is probably gay
is definitely gay
(her voice goes down a notch at that. like it’s an evil word. a bad word.)
(the same way that mrs. muddlefoot from next door says it; the deviants she calls them while she waters her petunias and assaults the weeds with all the energy of Saving Private Ryan. like the scarlet G had gone and planted itself squarely in her garden and she’d needed to wrench it free.)
Gosalyn hates that she says-
whispers
hisses
cries
-that word. it leeches to her anyway. you it amends. that word means you. 
she’s whispering through her own existence. 
she doesn’t know who to turn to. 
Huey -soft Huey, sweet Huey, holdyourhandforever Huey- seemed like the best idea. And so she does. Staying over for the night while her father galavants through the city. Staying up late, sitting on his bed, trembling through declarations. 
Huey listens. 
His brothers listen.
Gosalyn presses the heels of her hands against her eyes and sort of explains as best she can that the whole guy thing never really kicked in but when she saw Webby spring forth from the library her palms got all sweaty and her back felt all prickly and ohhhh shoot she has her first crush and it’s not on a guy 
it was supposed to be on a guy. 
and then
and then
and then-
and then Dewey Duck happens. 
Dewey Duck crawling across the bed and creaking out that Mark Beaks had probably interested him for more than one reason and laughing a shaky, Richter scale hysterical giggle at Huey’s huge eyes. 
“I thought you’d hate me-”
“Never.”
“Did you tell Uncle Donald-”
“No. And you can’t either.” 
“Dewey-”
“Please?”
“I won’t, but-”
“Good.” he pulls his knees up. he’s bent like a used soda can. “he’d hate me.” 
Gosalyn Mallard too terrified to tell her father, who’s expectations of her life exceed her own.
Dewey Duck rubbing the back of his neck and looking away whenever Donald chides about girls at school. 
Gosalyn Mallard staying up late at a sleepover with the boys to cry.
Dewey Duck gripping her hands and saying I get it because he does. 
Huey wrapping his arms around Gosalyn. She’ll sniffle “do you think this is part of the sick thing?” and he’ll shake his head and say “absolutely not.” He reaches for Dewey next, who reaches back. Louie finds some purchase against them, furling against the huddle. 
Their fingers wind up like weeds through sidewalks; too stubborn to retreat. 
They make a pact. Dewey and her. To tell them. Together. Separate places, but together. 
Huey says “don’t worry. it’ll be fine.” But Dewey never remembered his Uncle as fond of change and Drake Mallard’s temper was as legendary as his alter ego, and the two kids go into a battle with their armor up. 
Gosalyn shows up at the kitchen table where he peeks at her from behind his newspaper.  
Dewey pounds on his Uncles door and waits for it to swing open, the elder standing in front of him. Donald had never towered before. 
Gosalyn... 
Gosalyn bursts into tears. 
Dewey opens his mouth and runs back to his brothers in the next room. He can hear Donald calling him. He’s confused. Who wouldn’t be. 
The two of them are twisting into panes of sugar glass; oh so sweet and raw and melting under the heat of something they chose. 
Donald will enter into a room of three boys, two of them huddled around one. Drake Mallard will give his daughter a shake, newspaper forgotten.
The armor hardens around. Candy floss and milkweeds. It chokes them, and they twist their tongues around the words. Maybe to keep them slow. Maybe to say them just right. Maybe to stop themselves from saying them at all. 
(they say them anyway. because even weeds need the sun.)
it’s hard to hug around armor. 
their parents find ways. 
“oh sweetheart,” says Drake. 
“honey,” says Donald. 
no one moves for a long time. 
the Single Dads Club rarely invites children. but it will allow, for the rare occasion, to hold the little get together of friends and family. Drake Mallard praised and Donald would shout from the rooftops and the two kids would hide their faces and say come on, Dad. There’s no cake. There’s a few boxes of cookies and a jug of lukewarm ice tea. and the party ends with a presentation by Goofy on how to deal with adolescent development because no one remembered to cancel and so no one had the heart to tell him otherwise. 
it’s a pretty good lecture. 
but the parents make up for it anyway after at the Duckberg 24/7 diner where everything was served with extra maple syrup and the tables were always sticky and the air was filtered with coffee. Scrooge hates it. the rest of them adore the little space. 
“glad you told me, Gossy.” Drake squeezes her hand from next to her in the little diner booth. Across from them, Huey and Louie sit squished, reading a menu, while Donald hooks an arm around Dewey’s shoulders. Presses a kiss to his nephews head. “Proud of you,” he mumbles into his feathers. not sure why he’s proud. but proud anyway. 
these two parents...
they’re just the best parents. 
through it all, they’re the best. and I'm infinitely choked up about it.

Gilmore Girls S6/7
April. Ok here’s someone who has been used as a symbol for the beginning of the end. Her introduction was brazen, the effect was devastating and the outcome horrific. She alone set things in motion for Luke and Lorelai to fall apart.
There are reasons for this. As a child she should be given benefit of the doubt. As a supremely intelligent child she should be greatly aware of the outcome of her reactions. This leads me to believe she might be on the autistic spectrum as in most all episodes she fails to register other people’s feelings. She strolls into the diner demanding and taking hair for a science project that determines which of three men are her father. THREE. She has done this twice before with no regard for any of them or their lives. Then she proceeds to go on as normal when the one (seemingly) distraught and shocked man wants to know more.
Her actions are much like the producers on the show, coming in with a sledgehammer and seeing what they can mess up. They might put a band aid over it later.
On the one occasion lorelai is included, April seems to like her and form a bond. Luke originally didn’t want to include her for fear he’d be eclipsed - a selfishness and insecurity I have never seen in him before. The reactions to this are anger, not consolation or support for a woman who did as she was asked and tried to help.
April became the literal fly in the ointment. Christopher the thorn in the side. Neither of these characters would have had that much power before but now strong and independent genuine people were falling into the typical traps they’d managed to avoid by just communicating. It was devastating to see.
Then April sets him up. With no regard whatsoever for the relationship she had witnessed, she just sets him up. No emotion. No nothing.
It was every destructive and horrific cliche you could ram down our throats, it went too far, it wasn’t logical, someone just flicked a switch and our favourite characters were clueless.
The whole thing went against the shows rhythm and genius, formulaic plots, boring scenes and exposition as well as painful unemotional events made season 7 the worst yet.
While I loved the latter half it still felt like something was missing. I felt the Palladinos knew exactly how each character would feel and act, making scenes organic, powerful and passionate. They understood. Along comes a run-of-the-mill writer, bogged down by calls for shock and controversy. Gone was the homely comfort, the characters, the town for crying out loud! We got episodes with very little in it about stars hollow. I missed the brilliant seemless edits and intertwining of our favourite characters and the organism of the town.
I believe if re-shot in places and edited then that final scene with just Luke and lorelai would have been epic. From where I sat it looked uncomfortable, rushed and like an early take before the actors really got into it. This was epic love, the true rush of emotion, the relief of being in each other’s arms again. Compare and contrast....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If the awkward angle was to get the party in the background as well then that really missed the point.
I love this show. I’m starting my second viewing but I know I’ll have to see these episodes again. I never want to hate anything but I will say I hate the way they make me feel. Before this I trusted this show with my emotions, through the hospital visit, the break up and separations. They were heart wrenching, emotional rollercoasters but they weren’t *painful*.
Fixing Season 7 would be on my wish list somehow, someway. Even a re-edit and a few stars hollow extra scenes would be an improvement.

What Are Dishwasher Air Gaps and Are They Necessary?
Tumblr media
In the event that your handyman's revealed to you that you must introduce an air hole close by your pristine dishwasher, you might be left asking why. What precisely is that little apparatus that extends up over your ledge, and do you truly require an air hole to protect your dishwasher from tainting? Truly, an air hole is the best strategy to shield your dishwasher from flooding with wastewater. Plugged up sinks and obstructed tubing can send filthy water from the channel once again into your dishwasher. Many pipes codes do order dishwashers channel by means of an air hole fitting. Yet, an air hole isn't only a code-consistent disturbance, it's a keen method to shield your dishwasher from reverse. worth shairing review on over best dishwasher brands.
What is a dishwasher air hole?
A dishwasher air hole is a fitting mounted around two crawls over the sink that keeps debased water from returning the dishwasher from the channel through reverse. An air hole is a straightforward method to make certain wastewater and pollutants never reappear your perfect water supply. At the point when you are running your dishes through a wash cycle, the exact opposite thing you need is for them to arise streaked with grime siphoned in from your obstructed waste disposal. Air holes altogether separate the hose running grimy water from the hose hurrying to the channel. Since these two ways never converge, there is no danger of wastewater crawling once more into your perfect machine.
The space between your kitchen spigot and the edge of your kitchen sink is an ideal showing of an air hole. In the event that your waste disposal is stopped up and your sink floods with messy water, the water will pour out over the edge of the sink and onto the counter. There is sufficient distance between the mouth of the spigot and the sink's edge to guarantee that grimy water will never reverse into your kitchen fixture and dirty the perfect water supply. This exacting hole of air shields the consumable water from defilement.
How does reverse work?
Reverse is the undesirable inversion of water stream, guiding polluted water and impurities back into the perfect water supply. Dishwasher air holes are a type of reverse counteraction. In pipes, this point where wastewater might dirty consumable water is known as a cross-association. Cross-associations can prompt reverse when there is a change in weight. For instance, when a sink channel becomes stopped up, the hose prompting the channel will begin to siphon the wastewater back into machines. Without an air hole (or different methods for reverse avoidance) your dishwasher will flood with polluted water.
How does a dishwasher air hole work?
A dishwasher air hole isolates two parts of hose with an actual hole of air to ensure that cross-tainting between the dishwasher and channel is unimaginable. One part of the air hole fitting associates from the dishwasher to the air hole. The other branch plummets from the air hole to the waste disposal. The hose running the grimy water from the dishwasher leaves the dishwasher and bends upward. At its pinnacle, the branch closes and the water spills out of the open mouth of the cylinder, through the air hole, and down into the subsequent branch. The subsequent branch conveys the wastewater down toward the assigned seepage site.
The two parts of the air hole are introduced underneath your sink or ledge. Air hole fittings have a beautifying heading that reaches out over the counter, normally close to your spigot or cleanser allocator. This heading houses the vertical air hole. Air holes are indented with openings that will deliver water into your sink if the channel becomes stopped up or the tubing is hindered. An air hole spill means that your seepage tubes are obstructed and should be cleared out.
Do I need a dishwasher air hole?
Air holes are the best methods for keeping your channel from cross-defiling your dishwasher with squander. On the off chance that you need to shield your dishwasher from flooding with debased water, you need an air hole. Dishwasher air holes are likewise needed by plumbing codes in numerous areas. While air holes are by all account not the only strategy for keeping your dishwasher from reverse, they are the lone technique that is demonstrated to work under each situation. Air holes have no moving parts, so they can't come up short. They chip away at the guideline of straightforward material science. Water can't direct back through an unpressurized hole of air. On the off chance that the channel tube becomes obstructed the release water from the dishwasher will just pour out of the openings on the air hole's going. While other reverse counteraction strategies can debilitate cross-defilement, just an air hole ensures this insurance.
The unwavering quality of air holes is the reason many pipes codes across the United States require all dishwasher establishments to incorporate an air hole. Most pipes codes specify that all business food and refreshment planning sinks should have an air hole. States including California, Washington, Minnesota, and Hawaii have all received a dishwasher air hole establishment as an obligatory private pipes system. In these pieces of the nation, air holes are unquestionably vital. A handyman introducing another dishwasher will expect you to have an air hole association. In the event that you do without an air hole, your home won't be up to code. In the event that you were to actually endeavor to sell your home, the assessor would expect you to introduce an air hole.
How would I introduce a dishwasher air hole?
Introducing an air hole is a basic endeavor that a property holder can undoubtedly manage without the help of a handyman.
Find the air hole opening on your counter. Numerous counters will have a precut opening effectively present on their counter. In the event that this opening isn't as of now lodging an air hole, it is most likely covered by a level plate formed cover. Eliminate this circle and set it aside. On the off chance that you don't have an air hole opening on your counter you should penetrate one yourself. Bore a 1-3/8" opening in the ledge utilizing an electric drill and opening saw. Be certain the opening is near the edge of the sink so the air hole will have adequate space to deplete in the occasion the cylinders flood. You don't need an air hole flooding your counter. Prior to penetrating, tape off the segment around the opening with concealing tape to shield your counter from scratches. In the event that your ledge is rock or marble, this undertaking will be more troublesome, and you may think about acquiring proficient assistance.
Interface the air hole to the dishwasher channel hose. The dishwasher channel hose interfaces with the more modest leg of the air hole. Connect the 5/8" cylinder to the 5/8" leg of the air hole. Utilizing hardened steel hose clips, secure the cylinder firmly to the air hole.
Associate the air hole to the channel hose or waste disposal. Measure and cut a length of 7/8" tubing to associate the air hole to either your channel or your waste disposal. Secure the cylinder to the air hole with a hose brace. On the off chance that you are running the air hole straightforwardly to the channel, join the cylinder to the Y-branch rear end interfacing the sink to the channel and secure the tubing with a hose brace. Ensure your Y-branch rear end is viable with 7/8" tubing. On the off chance that you are interfacing the air hole to a waste disposal, find the cylinder jutting from the side of the waste disposal unit. On the off chance that an air hole has not recently been introduced on this removal, you should eliminate the metal fitting inside the cylinder. This permits removals to be viable with both air hole and non-air hole set-ups. Check to guarantee there are no crimps in the tubing and connect the 7/8" tubing to the removal and secure it with a hose cinch.
Push the air hole up through the opening on the counter. Eliminate the vanity covering on the air hole heading and addition it through the opening in the counter from beneath. Fix the air hole against the counter by stringing the nut along the air hole's strings. You might need to have an associate hold the air hole set up to keep it from turning as you introduce it. When the nut is strung on by hand and the air hole is settled, utilize a wrench to ensure the air hole is safely affixed to the counter. Spot the vanity cover back on the air hole.
Run your dishwasher on a fill cycle. Check the air hole and tubing associations for any indications of spilling. Ensure there's no water getting away from the waste disposal or air hole and trickling into your bureau Learn more.

Gravity - Part 9
Summary: Reader’s a young security officer (Lieutanent Junior Grade) who happened to be on an away mission and fall hard for a certain Chief Engineer. Both of them aren’t the most outgoing regarding their feelings and tend to just watch each other from a distance, which is going to change.
Wordcount: 2196 (yeaaaaaah)
A/N: This one’s quite the rollercoaster for our dear Readers emotions, but that’s how things are after the death of a loved one. We’re getting better, though.
This fiction is set in AOS
Warnings: death, hurt, comfort, some making out
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8
„How are you?“ his voice was barely a whisper, the words a faint ghost of a pain felt yesterday. „Better“ It was no lie as you lay there, the warmth radiating from his body, his hands idly caressing your shoulder. Yes, there was still pain. But it had hidden, back in the corner of your mind, overthrown by a desire to live and be. You feel it’s faint throb, it’s dull ache in your heart. It would be long before it finally faded and be reserved for special occasions. A strange twilight zone were one part of you was still occupied by death and loss while the other strived to enjoy life all the more. You shuffled around to face the engineer, your eyes searching for his.
The hand that was caressing you before crept up and cupped your face gently. His eyes were searching yours, reading the truth they found there. Not good, yet, but better. A sleepy smile crossed his lips. „That’s good, my lass“. Another reality crept upon you at that. The one were you, Y/N, woke up with the Enterprises Chief Engineer in your bed and he smiled at you. His dark hair was messy from nights rest, blue-ish eyes still heavy with the remainder of sleep. That faint smile from yesterday tugged at your nerve chords again and finally reached your lips, spread carefully over your face. His thumb rubbed over your cheek, touched your lips gently. „Doctor’s gonna insist on seeing ya today“, he blinked slowly and moved his thumb from your lips, down to your chin, lifting your face up to him. „I should probably get in a presentable state until then“, you muttered. „Ya’re perfect as ya’re.“ answered the engineer and his kiss and intent felt like the relieving breeze one felt after a summers storm.
For a while the world revolved only around that kiss of yours: Slow and deliberate, tasting each others lips, creeping closer inch by inch, opening up to each other. The tip of his tongue, the sensation of heat and desire, burning away your sadness for a moment. The hand that was cupping your face, slid downward, barely touching the skin of your neck with his fingertips. You shuddered and felt how his lips moved into a grin, at which you separated from him. He watched your for a second, all breathless himself, and the kiss that followed was pressed hard on your lips. A heated, passionate kiss that stole your breath away and made you shiver. The fingertips resting on your neck became a grip on the back of your head, pressing you at him, as if he wanted to imprint himself on your lips. As fast as that kiss came, he released you again, leaning his forehead onto yours. „I …“ you stared at him, waiting for him to finish the sentence, but that never came. „Ya’re cheeks are all red, my love“ he said instead, his voice dark and coarse. How could you not, after such a kiss. After a kiss that made you forget everything, bodies pressed against each other. Seeing and feeling his reaction towards you. The soft pressure of him a little bit lower down against your hips speaking volumes. He carefully rolled over to the side, turned you gently onto your back, lifted himself over you, then leaning on his arms and knees right and left of you. You could only feel the barest hint of his weight on you but the implication sent another shiver down your spine, collecting heat somewhere deeper in your body. When you reached up for him your hands were shivering and he gave you another one of that cocky grins as he let you pull him into your next kiss. He lifted one of his knees from resting next to you and slid it over your thigh, slowly pushing your legs apart and, when you willfully made space for him, following with his other knee, carefully lowering himself onto you as a lover would. Even if still clothed in your nightwear (both of you wearing long shorts and standard issue black undershirts) you could feel the soft pressure against the most delicate skin as he let you feel more of his weight. He moved his hips deliberately against you as he settled down comfortably, eliciting the softest moan from your lips. „This is gettin’ out of hand really fast“ His right hand moved down your side until it could creep under that shirt of yours, rough fingertips brushing your skin. The weight of him on you was now a promise, as his hand crept up again, now under your shirt. „It .. really is“ your voice trembled lightly, excited, a bit nervous maybe. „Is this… okay for you? Today?“ the question fell from his lips and you held your breath, unsure what to say. His hand stopped immediately. „I’m not sure“, there was still another weight, invisible, sitting on your chest right next to the amazing experience you felt you were ruining. Scotty shifted and lifted himself on his knees again. „I want this to be special for ya,“ he said and smiled down to you. You wondered how much kindness this man had to give. „If.. ya want at all, I mean.“ he took a deep breath before he continued: „But this is a difficult time for ya, and I know how that feels. How lonely ya can feel. And I consider myself a men of honor.“ You could see in your eyes how much he wanted this. „I think I’ve fallen in love with you“ you spilled and held your breath for a second. „And I .. I’d love to have … that with you, and you feel incredible where you are right now, but… “ He leaned down and nipped at your lower lip: „It’s alright, my love. If ya really want an old fool like me, we’ll find an occasion as beautiful as you are.“ You cherished how he called you ‚my love‘ and already missed how close the two of you had been.
„Y/N much better then before, you can get up now.“ McCoy was clearly satisfied with your biobed readings. „Don’t walk away yet, sit down.“ he was also very good at the matter-of-fact voice. He didn’t really ask you to do something, he simply stated what you would do next and you did. End of discussion. Since you already had your share of discussions with the Doctor this week you sat down next to him and folded your hands in your lap. „I assume Mr. Scott has been looking after you?“, he stated this more then he really asked and you suspected that you and Monty were the hot small-talk at the officers mess right now. „He is very kind, Doctor McCoy,“ you answered not willing to tip your toe into the waters of that talk. „He is, indeed. And he seems very fond of you.“, you could not possibly decipher that look he was shooting you right now. Was he trying to give you the talk? By god, you were not that young. You cleared your throat: „I am very fond of him too, Doctor.“ He nodded at that. You couldn’t read that mans face to save your life. Absolutely impossible. Luckily for you he changed subject almost immediately. „That’s good to hear. There’s another thing, though, I need to talk to you about.“ he looked more stern then before all of a sudden, but there couldn’t be any more bad news this week. Impossible. „Lieutenant Cassandra Maximoffs burial will be held tomorrow evening“ - something icy dropped into your stomach and opened up a gate of emotions you had just hoped to seal for a while. „You were her closest friend“, the past tense in his words stung more then anything before, „and your Commanding officer thought it best that you held the eulogy.“ That icy thing in your guts clenched it’s claws into your lower body. „Only if you want“, he added hastily and put a hand on your shoulder. Looking up at him you knew he meant it. „I will.“ no one else could. Her family was on earth. He nodded. „Doesn’t need to be much. Just a few words.“
Though your quarters were small, they had never felt so empty before. Cas had been there often, lying around on the bed, laughing with you. She’d been there since Starfleet academy, when she threw her stuff into the bunk next to yours and greeted you with a beaming smile. She’d always been the outgoing one. The one that was so secure about everything. If you’d led her team, maybe … You stopped the thought right there and took a deep breath. She should’ve been the one to write an eulogy. It would’ve been marvelous, heart wrenching, beautiful. She could touch people. You stared at the empty bed, where you had lain with your .. well.. engineer only hours ago. Grabbing your PADD you fled your room and hit short dial on your communicator. „Scott here. What is it?“ you were silent for a moment. „It’s me, Monty, I…“ another deep breath. „Everythin’ alright, lass?“ you heard how you had his full attention. Even just hearing it, you felt how it started to thaw the lump of ice. „I’ll… have to write an eulogy.. burial tomorrow“ tears threatened to choke you again, but you bit them back with bitter determination. „Could I .. I don’t know… hang around at your place?“ - Because the room you had spent so much time with her felt like a grave now, when you were alone there. As if that room held all your tears and sorrow. But you didn’t tell him that. There were no words to express it. „Ah. I got ta finish my shift, lass“ your heart sank. „Oh“ „So I hope ya’ll be alright with spending an hour or two alone until I can finish up?“ „Oh.“ „I’m so sorry, I’m in the midst of some calibration for the warpcore, but I’ll give ya access right away and I’ll be there as soon as possible.“ „Thanks, Monty.“
Being a Chief Commanding officer on the Enterprise sure did have it’s benefits, the quarters being one of them. He had like - a real kitchen sort of thing, a small office space and a very nice bathroom. There was even a small couch. Unsure were sitting would be acceptable you decided for the couch after a quick glance over:
- The Office part was definitely off limits to you - The bed seemed off, somehow, although you vividly remembered making out with that man earlier this morning. - The couch seemed to be the most non intrusive
Sitting down and looking at your PADD, you saw condolences for the loss in your mail for the first time. You sighed, glanced over them and closed them, there was also an email clarifying the exact time of the burial tomorrow. You started to write.
When Montgomery Scott arrived a few hours later, you had written two short versions. You lay on your back, staring blankly at the ceiling, head empty. „Ah, there ya are“. He smiled. Straightening up from the couch you smiled back, although weakly, and stood up. Warmth seemed to come back to your body. „Not be rude or anything, lass, but I better not touch ya right now“ lifting his hands he laughed heartily. Only now did you see the oil covering his hands, the streaks of oil and dirt on his face. A big black spot was covering the starfleet insignia on his chest. „I better not even ask“, you grinned. „I’ll just get showered and changed and have ya already eaten somethin’?“, without thinking about it - or on purpose, you were only half sure about that - he pulled his red shirt and his undershirt over his head, throwing it absent mindedly on a chair next to the bathroom. You could not help it but stare: he was slender, but you could see muscles moving, perfectly able to carry whatever machinery needed to be carried by hand. His built was not impressive in the classic sense, but the way his neck curved down and how the shoulders followed and led to his back... Only after you had allowed your eyes to travel a bit further down - how could you resist - did you look up again, just to see him smirking. You blushed. „I’m sorry“ your apology was nearly inaudible. But instead of saying something, he just laughed and opened his belt, pulling it from his trousers. You knew that you were probably looking like a fool with your mouth a bit open. He wiggled his eyebrows, taking off his trousers and walked into the bathroom only wearing his shorts.
That night he lay on his back, just in his shorts like before, and your head rested on his chest, listening to him breathe. You had talked about the funeral tomorrow and you had cried some more and he had held you and promised to be there. Now his hands once again idly stroke your back. „What are we, anyway, now?“ you asked, tired and half asleep. Comfortable and shielded from the horror that would be tomorrow in his arms. „What would ya like us to be?“ his voice vibrated in your ear. „How about .. like… a couple?“ A moment of silence stretched between the two of you.
 „I’d like that, my love.“
TAG LIST! I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE THIS PART! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK :)

The Finest Hex Wrenches
Honestly, a lot of the precise wrenches we examined had comparable quality, so what units the TEKTONs aside are the excellent circumstances (one for metric sizes and one for fractional inch sizes, often known as SAE). Since no energy supply required as it's a guide impression driver, it is a good handy-dandy device to include in your arsenal, particularly for those who don't use affect drivers for very severe and meticulous functions. Whereas no person wants to have a motive to contact a brand's customer support division, Tekton is insistent they'll leave users with a really constructive and quick experience. Our funds pick, the TEKTON 2905 3/eight-Inch Drive Handbook Hand Impact Driver Set, 7-Piece has a three/8 in drive influence socket, very portable and light-weight weight and it could actually loosen frozen and rusted screws without the fear for damage.
Tumblr media
Relating to value, there isn't any doubt that the Tekton 24340 1/2″ Drive Click on Torque Wrench has a pretty trying price tag. Tekton really began to maneuver away from low cost instruments at cheap costs just a few years in the past. We all know how this goes and with at this time's shipping prices on the rise, loads of times delivery might cost extra than simply shopping for one other device.
Tumblr media
Flare nut wrenches are hand tools which look similar to open finish wrenches. If you happen to do purchase this kit, we recommend shopping for a greater high quality field to make sure non of your instruments get left behind! Some of their products stand out as being especially spectacular, akin to their USA-made air hoses. There are no poor instruments here, however the perfect torque wrench is the Snap-on Industrial Model CDI Torque 2503MFRPH. Because they used this type of connections you can not take away or change the internal tools. Every choice also options polished wrenches which each makes the tools corrosion resistant, and helps with clear up should one thing spill on them. However, take notice that it is a naked tool only - the battery should be purchased separately. It contains the lithium ion battery (BL1830), charger and power case and has a 3 year guarantee for instrument and battery. One wrench within the SAE set did have some cosmetic situation with the Chrome and TEKTON sent me a brand new one and let me preserve the outdated one. Since you clearly aren't aware of manufacturers of instruments, and also you clearly didn't decide it up from the TFA both, Crescent(tm) is a model of tools based mostly within the USA, and sure they make Crescent(tm) wrenches, or a minimum of used to, until they outsourced the manufacturing to China.
Tumblr media
The problem with Tekton wrenches is that the ones from Taiwan (full polished combinations in an Ernst wrench rack) are great however, those sold in a roll are PRC made and is probably not as nice. As well as, should you wish to share feedback with us about product selection, pricing, ordering, delivery or different customer support issues, please read here don't submit this suggestions via a product assessment.
Tumblr media
I'm no skilled mechanic by any means and I don't have a HUGE 5ft device box full of instruments; I solely have minimal tools that I would like for my automobile retching habits. The ¾ inch drive on this software will be sure you are able to do any massive or small managed tightening or loosening jobs that you've got.
Tumblr media
In this case, the accuracy of the software will likely be a very powerful concern, since failure of the product (satellite tv for pc, jet engine, area shuttle booster rocket clamp attachment) will be much more pricey than failure of the instrument. Tekton's quality has improved vastly lately and a few of their merchandise rival these you may find on high quality instrument vans that value 3-four occasions as much.
