Close to 500 jets ordered, Dassault decides to increase Rafale's production rate

With 211 Rafale jets still needing to be delivered and more potential orders, Dassault wants to increase the rate to be able to fulfill its deliveries.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/03/2024 - 18:40in Military

With Rafale's sales increasing, Dassault now needs to increase the production rate, as the deliveries of the French fighter were below the planned for 2023. And that's what the French manufacturer announced for this year.

The French manufacturer received 60 new orders for its fighter only last year, with 42 of them for the French Air Force, with deliveries ?? between 2027 and 2032. Another 18 jets came from an order from Indonesia this year, as a final part of a contract signed in 2022 for a total of 42 Rafales.

With these orders, the total number of Rafale orders is approaching the 500 mark. In 2022 alone, Dassault won 92 orders.

Even with the number of orders increasing, the number of deliveries is currently short of these market successes. Dassault wanted to deliver 15 Rafales to customers in 2023, but only 13 were delivered. According to the head of the company, Eric Trappier, this will change soon. “We are working for Phase 2,” the managing director of Dassault said on March 6 at the annual press conference. This means production should increase to almost two jets per month, with an initial goal of 20 deliveries for 2024.

In the medium term, according to Trappier, the annual production rate is expected to continue to increase and stabilize by at least 23 copies from 2025. However, the "challenges" in the supply chain must first be overcome, the head of Dassault emphasized in his statement. It's "a bit like the egg and the chicken," says Trappier: "If you had told me five years ago that we were moving on to the next phase, I would have said that we couldn't predict this, we should sell first. Therefore, there is a limit to increasing the production chains, but we actually need some time." However, the final assembly in Mérignac offers enough space for new advances.

Rafale from the Indian Air Force.

"We are making the transition to the production of 3 aircraft per month, from a rate that was lower in units in 2020, when production was stagnant," explained Eric Trappier.

Of a total of 495 Rafales ordered - 234 for France and 261 for export, not including used jets ?? - 211 would still need to be produced at the end of 2023, 141 for exports and 70 for France. On the one hand, this delay guarantees the future of the program for at least ten years, but on the other hand, Dassault is still committed to making customers more enthusiastic about Rafale.

Rafale from the Hellenic Air Force.

According to Trappier, discussions continue with Saudi Arabia, which may order 54 Rafales. However, here you are competing with the Eurofighter and the Boeing F-15EX.

The French Air and Space Force is currently preparing for the planned Rafale F5 standard. Dassault expects to receive its first French order later this year.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) did not consistently provide access to mental health and substance use services for Indigenous people in British Columbia correctional centres, according to B.C.'s Office of the Auditor General.

A statement from the office of Auditor General Michael Pickup says the PHSA — which has been responsible for health care in B.C.'s 10 correctional centres since 2017 — "could not confirm whether Indigenous clients entering correctional facilities were provided necessary mental health and substance use services, assessed appropriately or if discharge care plans were in place for their release."

An audit of 92 files of Indigenous clients from 2019 to 2021 found gaps in monitoring and oversight by the PHSA attributed to limited capacity of its client health information system and a lack of client file reviews. [...]

"After looking at these files, we found that the PHSA Is not fully delivering on what it is supposed to do," Pickup said in a news conference on Thursday. "And frankly, the PHSA needs to do better to care for Indigenous people in correctional centres." [...]

Fewer than half of Indigenous client files in the sample had a complete care plan for mental health and/or substance use services. About 80 per cent of clients received some services, while around 20 per cent received no services. [...]

The Fanfic Writer Questionnaire!

I was tagged by @ejunkiet to do this Fanfic Writer Questionnaire and now that I'm FINALLY getting back to my "normal" life and writing and talking to people again after the move, this seemed like a really fun way to start! I think I got waaaaaaaaaay to in-depth and confessional.

Tagging some people who I'd love to see play but also just anyone feeling like it! @glassbearclock @taelonsamada @romirola @zozo-01 @colloquialcolival

1 - How many works do you have on AO3?

130. I had to look up my stats and I had no idea! 92 of those are Redacted…

2 - What's your total AO3 word count?

Holy shit… 907,249

3 - What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Redacted, TOG, and 19 Days but I’ve dabbled in a handful of others over the years.

4 - What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Finally Alive (TOG), Waiting (TOG), Pieces of the Moon (TOG), Open (19 Days), and Kicking and Screaming (TOG). Look at The Old Guard dominating that particular stat!

5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! There have been times where I miss one or too much time has gone, but otherwise yes. I love comments. For a long time I got in my own head about comments or even liking things because I thought I was bothering people, and that sometimes carries over to replying to comments when I’ve been busy and a week or two has passed, but then I just do it because nice things are always okay to toss out into the world!

6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don’t think I do ansty endings… I do a shit ton of trauma and hurt, but there’s always comfort payoff. Lemme see… OH! Oh fuck, it’s Stop it. I love that tiny ficlet. Warden blows themself up to take Vega with them out of Elegy.

7 -What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Almost all of my fics have a happy ending… or at least the promise of happiness to come. I need a happy ending. I absolutely run from anything (fics, books, movies, shows) if I see any hint that they’re aiming to hurt/no comfort me.

Lemme see… who had the happiest ending… I’m going to say Come Home. It’s a Nightwing/Cassandra Cain fic I did ages back and something about that ending and them is just particularly satisfying to me. And Scars That Remind. I think the hard road and possibility of not getting that happy ending makes it happier... if that makes sense to anyone else?

8 - Do you get hate on fics?

Not usually but it has happened. Both the stuff that’s just someone taking a topic or character personally, or trying to make a statement, and actual vomit emojis.... hehe it was a particularly lewd fic and I think they were inspired to hate because I actually said I was proud of the work and I don't usually share those feelings/thoughts.

9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Oh my, yes. Where's the stat for that? I'm a sucker for deep emotional connections and trust. Even when I set out to write porn, it ends up being emotional.

10 - Do you write crossovers?

Nope.

11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?

Maybe? I had someone ask if they could translate one of my 19 Days fics for another site and I said they could as long as they weren't pretending they wrote it.

13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I'm not really comfortable co-writing like that. But I used to write on rp sites long ago (it's where I met my person) and even before that I used to write stories with a friend. We would actually trade notebooks back and forth between classes to read what the other had done and add to it.

14 - What's your all time favorite ship?

Oh shit... It's been a lot of ships.

15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I really hate the pressure to finish long fics. I used to only do long fics because I want to keep the world and keep adding but then there's the pressure where people ask if you've abandoned it. And I always feel like "no? it's not a couch I left by the street. it's a fic. i wrote it. it's mine even if it's unended forever." And I just really want the option to go back into that world and keep going even if it's years later (which I have definitely done). ...This is absolutely my way of not answering this question.

16 - What are your writing strengths?

I'm usually pretty fast when I'm in it? And dialogue? I think I'm okay at dialogue

17 - What are your writing weaknesses?

Remembering my own descriptive choices? Weather, dates, settings, side-character names... Fluff. I'm not good at writing wholesome everyday things. Some people are so incredible at that and I'm just not. I just straight to the meat of everything every time. I worry it harms the flow and build of a lot of things.

18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I will usually dance around it if it's not a language I know, like just saying in narrative that the character said it in another language, assuming both parties understand or making a point of them not. I looooved this with Nicky and Joe in TOG and the idea of them using each others languages in the early decades to try to communicate better when what they were saying became important OR going back to their own when they're too upset to use a second language.

19 - First fandom you wrote for?

Technically... The Black Jewels Trilogy when I was a baby. Like I said, I was so shy and just, afraid of being in the way in the world. I had been reading fics for years but didn't even have an account. I start writing some for Black Jewels and made and account and posted... Someone rolled into the comments and picked it apart. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as I remember. I guess I'd used a lot of the terms in the books wrong? I was so horrified I deleted the fic and the account and didn't fic for a few more years. I even deleted the fic from my computer. I've dug around looking for it again since but it's absolutely gone. SO, the actual answer, is The Covenant over on ffnet. I couldn't find much of what I wanted so I started writing it.

20 - Favorite fic you've written?

Favorite of my own!!? I am surprised how uncomfortable I am answering that... Okay, the thing is, I love my fics. I am so scared to admit that because it feels conceded as fuck but I honestly write what I want to read for the most part. I do go back and reread my own shit. Soooo I'm going to say Pieces of the Moon. It short and sweet and feels like a fairy tale. But the answer would change week to week.

#fanfic writer questionnaire #i'm starting to see how i got to 900k i'm wordy as hell #<3 #dominimoonbeam #wallflower trying to do people things #fanfic

Tag Meme: 9 Favorite Characters

tagged by @talysalankil

Gonna copy your "one per series/franchise" because otherwise there is a genuine risk Precures and TWEWYs would eat it whole. In no particular order, and with definite "What's on my mind right now" bias:

Xion (Kingdom Hearts)

No surprise there, and yes, I did intentionally get a screenshot from the post-Riku fight for this.

2. Cure Grace/Nodoka Hanadera and Rabirin (Healin' Good Precure)

(Look, they transform as a pair, their transformation phrase is "Two flowers as one," I'm counting them both. "Then shouldn't you use a screenshot of Cure Grace?" Shut up.)

3. Anthy Himemiya (Revolutionary Girl Utena)

Yes, I saved this image as "Anthy Himemiya Is A Weird Girl Who Keeps Snails In Her Pencil Case."

4. Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu (The World Ends With You)

... Yes, choosing his most insufferably smug dialogue sprite was necessary, why do you ask?

5. The Luidaeg (October Daye)

"I am the sea witch. I am the tide you fear and the turning you can't deny. I am the sound of the waves running over your bones on the beach, little man, and I am not amused at finding you on my doorstep." She took a step forward. He took a step back. "I won't punish you for obeying orders the way she would. But I can't let an insult go unanswered. You know how it goes." A smile twisted her lips. "I'm actually grateful. You see, there are... rules... that govern what I can and can't do. But you broke them first. Now I get to do something I don't get to do very often. Now I get to play." ... "What did you do?" "Nothing they hadn't allowed by coming onto my territory. Every soul who came here on the Queen's business will go home, go to bed, and sleep soundly, dreaming the sweetest of dreams." Something about that statement had teeth. I paused, and then ventured, "For how long?" The Luidaeg smiled brilliantly. "Until something wakes them up. True love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table."

(Chimes at Midnight, Chapter Seven, pages 91-92) The wiki also uses the "I am the sea witch" bit as her epigraph but as a known lover of "true love, childbirth, and bees are all on the table" I felt it best to include the full exchange.

6. Lio Fotia (Promare)

(This BARELY beat out something from the Kakusei sequence but I love how fluffy his hair is as he tosses it.)

7. Ventuswill/Venti (Rune Factory 4)

Tragic immortal dragon god BFF <3

8. Moist von Lipwig (Discworld)

Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.

(Going Postal) Okay, it's him and Vimes, but I figured I'd go for Moist for the variety since everyone loves Vimes.

9. Okay there were a LOT of characters I considered for this, like, seriously, I went from "hm I can't think of anyone" to "ugh I have TOO MANY options" in very little time, but ultimately, while this might be recency bias at the moment, it is also true:

Missile (Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective)

The goodest boy in gaming.

(Runners-up from things that aren't otherwise represented here include Surge the Tenrec from Sonic IDW, Miles Naismith Vorkosigan from the Vorkosigan Saga, Rose Aleon from Birdie Wing, Grovyle from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, and huge enough swathes of the casts of Dumbing of Age and Girl Genius that I just didn't even bother trying to narrow those down.)

Tagging: In general assume I do this as an open invite to anyone seeing it, but just to name a couple people, @thesternest, @denizenhardwick, @mehanios, @purplelea, @yurisorcerer, @yoshiyakiryu

#gifs #long post #tag game #for runners up of things that DID get a character here: In general every character who's part of a set had their partner close behind #(Roxas and Axel for Xion; Utena for Anthy; Neku; Galo; Sissel)#(but also Nanami Kiryuu and the rest of the TWEWY O5 and Toby and *MASSIVE GHOST TRICK ENDGAME SPOILERS*)#(along with Hikaru and Lala and Manatsu and Laura)#Frey/Lest from Rune Factory is excluded because even though they have SOME personality they're still ultimately Player Inserts #and more Player Insert than unique character at the end of the day compared to the protagonist runner-ups #but otherwise THEY are the counterpart to Venti for obvious reasons. And I do love them! They're just. Only sort of a character.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Warning: This one’s so fluffy it may make your teeth rot.

“Yeah, so I’m having a lot of abdominal pain,” Leroy said loudly to the receptionist of the Storybrooke Walk In Clinic, which shared a wing of the hospital with the OB/GYN ward. “Feels like my bowels are all twisted. Maybe if I could empty them fully I’d feel better, but I’m all stopped up.”

Emma rolled her eyes as she sat with Killian waiting eagerly for their big prenatal appointment. “I don’t know about you, babe,” she said, squeezing her husband’s hand, “but I can safely say that is more than I ever wanted to know about Leroy’s bowels.”

Killian laughed, bringing their joined hands to his lips and giving her hand a quick kiss. “Quite so, love. Almost makes me long for the days where we were so busy chasing the latest villain, we didn’t have time for such mundane things.”

She chuckled, determinedly pushing aside the small kernel of insecurity his statement brought up–fear that Killian would grow bored with a mundane Happily Ever After and leave her for further adventure. She knew she’d never completely rid herself of the insecure inner child who’d never mattered to anyone and didn’t think she ever would, but she wasn’t that child anymore. She was an adult with many, many people who loved her and who she loved. She wasn’t going to let her insecurities ruin her idyllic life.

Inside, she felt the small flutters of their baby moving and kicking away, and she placed a gentle hand on her slightly swollen belly. She’d only just begun to feel their little magic bean, and every time she felt the sensation, it was like magic.

“Everything alright, love?” Killian asked, eying the way she held her belly with concern.

“Absolutely wonderful,” she said, beaming a smile at him. “The baby’s kicking!”

Killian placed his hand next to hers and was still for a moment, before shaking his head. “I do wish I could feel it.”

Emma reached up and cupped his cheek. “All in good time, Killian,” she said. “Just wait a few months, and this little guy or girl will be waking you up at night with their kicks.”

“You’ve no idea how much I look forward to that,” Killian said, with a bright smile. “Now explain to me again what is so momentous about this particular appointment today?”

Emma had reached the twenty week point in her pregnancy last Monday, and so today was the day for the big anatomy scan ultrasound. She’d opted for a 4D ultrasound, because she couldn’t wait to see her baby; really see it, beyond the grainy images standard ultrasounds provided.

Nor could she wait to see Killian’s reaction when he got to see his son or daughter for the first time. She had no doubt he would declare it to be magical, and come to think of it, maybe he wasn’t far off. Imagine being able to use sound waves to see your baby inside!

She’d had her first ultrasound at her first doctor’s appointment at seven weeks. She’d been alone that time–not that Killian wouldn’t have dropped literally everything to be with her, but because….well because she didn’t want to get her hopes up. They’d been trying for a baby for so long, and there had been a few times her period was late that they’d really believed they’d succeeded.

Only for the pregnancy tests to all come back negative.

The disappointment had been hard on both of them, and so this time around when she missed her period, when she started feeling nauseous and fatigued, even when she took a positive pregnancy test, she was afraid to believe. She’d decided to get verification before she got Killian’s hopes up yet again.

Her heart swelled as she remembered that day, Whale doing the ultrasound himself and showing her her baby on the screen and the strong beep of his or her little heart. She’d never forget the look in Killian’s eyes when she showed him the indistinct still the ultrasound tech had printed out and then explained to him what he was looking at. Happy wasn’t a strong enough word for it. He looked like a man who’d been given the greatest gift of his life, and the kiss he had given her afterwards, tears streaming from his eyes, would go down in history as one of the best kisses in the history of the kiss.

“So today’s the big day, isn’t it?” Leroy said cheerfully as he took a seat next to Emma in the waiting area. “Lot’s riding on this, you know.”

“....a lot’s riding on my prenatal appointment?” Emma asked with a raised brow.

“Well, yeah,” Leroy said. “Dwarves and I have a pool, betting on whether you got a boy or girl in there, the size, birth date. The works. I went girl all the way. Just a feeling. The winner of the pool gets all his meals at Granny’s paid by the rest for a month, so I’m counting on you two.”

Killian rolled his eyes. “We shall endeavor to ensure your meals are properly paid for, dwarf.”

Leroy shrugged and for a moment was silent as he watched Storybrooke citizens slowly filter in and out of the waiting room. “Lots of people coming into the clinic today,” he mentioned idly. “You know why it is, right?”

“I’ve no doubt you’ll soon enlighten us,” Killian said, putting an arm around Emma and leaning back in his chair.

“It’s that big forest fire up north,” Leroy said, “makes the air quality here really bad. You know it’s the werewolves that caused it, right?”

“The were….what?” Emma asked.

“The werewolves!” Leroy said. “Somebody was up there hunting them, and as everyone knows, if you don’t catch a werewolf the right way, they catch on fire and then become REAL werewolves. Gotta be what happened!”

Granny, who’d come in complaining of a sinus infection, slapped him upside the head before really laying into him as he continued to plead “I don’t mean good werewolves like you and Ruby!”

“Never a dull moment around here, is there love?” Killian asked with a grin.

She laughed along with him just before a nurse called them back.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Killian sat on his living room couch, looking down at the photo he held and feeling his eyes mist again. This was her; this was his daughter. The level of detail available on these 4D ultrasounds was incredible. Love like he’d never felt rushed on him yet again.

Emma plopped beside him, wrapped an arm around his waist and set her head on his shoulder. “She’s cute, isn’t she?”

“She’s gorgeous, love,” he answered softly, almost reverently. “Looks just like her mother.”

Emma chuckled. “She does kinda look like me, doesn’t she? Except for when the ultrasound tech first focused on her face and she raised one eyebrow. She was her father’s daughter all the way there.”

“She’ll be the best of both of us,” he said, running a finger across the image.

He’d had many singular and unexpected experiences since he first came to the Land Without Magic, but he knew that never in all of his days would he forget this day. He remembered the tech slathering Emma’s protruding belly with a slimy, gelatinous substance and then running a strange looking wand all around.

He’d been curious about the procedure, wondering how it all worked, but then his daughter’s image had appeared on the small moving picture box the wand was connected to, and everything had fallen away.

This was his child, his and Emma’s, the physical embodiment of their True Love, and she was perfect. He watched as she smiled, yawned, waved her arms around and kicked. She was an active one, their little magic bean, and she’d likely lead them a merry chase.

The tech had taken her time, examining their child and monitoring her progress. “Everything looks good,” she said. She’d gone on to give them the news that their little cygnet was a girl. She’d congratulated them, printed them out a few pictures from the scan and then taken her leave.

“You’ll spoil her rotten, Killian,” Emma said as he leaned down to kiss her, still overcome by the news they’d received, even all these hours later.

“Aye, that I will,” he agreed, “but the gods help any suitor who breaks her heart!”

“This kid is lucky to have you for a father,” Emma said, eyes fixed on their baby’s first picture.

“Not nearly as luck as she is to have you for a mother.”

“We are pretty great together, aren’t we?” Emma asked with a grin. “We must be if we can make someone like her.”

“The road has been long,” Killian said, “and far from smooth, but we’ve made it; we’re a family. This may be the greatest adventure of our lives, but I can’t wait for it.”

Notes:

–So apparently pregnant Emma is all I want to write about lately. I just really, really wish we’d gotten to see more of CS’s happily ever after!

–This story was inspired by real life events. My allergist’s office is in the same building as an urgent care center. Last week, while I was waiting the obligatory 30 minutes after my shot, an old man came in and went into way too much detail to the receptionist about his abdominal pain and bowels. He then proceeded to take a seat next to this woman who looked to be in her early twenties. He began talking….and pretty much never stopped, and the things he said….well, let’s just say, I wasn’t exaggerating Leroy for comic effect. This old man told the (very much uninterested in the conversation) young woman that the recent forest fires in Canada were a result of people hunting werewolves. He stated matter-of-factly that if people try to kill werewolves the wrong way, they catch on fire and then become REAL werewolves. (What were they before being incorrectly hunted? He didn’t say.)

–Naturally, this rather bizarre incident immediately left me with one burning question: How can I turn this into a CS au? And here we are!

ARSCH HUH, ZÄNG USSENANDER!

Diese vier Worte setzten vor 30 Jahren ein starkes Zeichen gegen Rechts. Am 9. November 92 brachte die Kampagne von Künster:innen und Musiker:innen 100.000 Menschen auf den Chlodwigplatz, um nach rechtsterroristischen Angriffen, unter anderem in Rostock Lichtenhagen, wortwörtlich den Arsch hoch zu bekommen und die Zähne auseinander. Auf die Straße gehen und laut gegen Nazis zu sein, wurde etwas Selbstverständliches in Köln.

1999 demonstrierten viele Kölner:innen gegen den ersten großen Naziaufmarsch seit dem 2. Welt- krieg. Anlass war damals die Ausstellung über die Verbrechen der deutschen Wehrmacht. Antifa-Gruppen und die Zivilgesellschaft verhinderten den „Anti-Islam Kongress“ der rechtsextremen Wählergruppe Pro-Köln auf dem Heumarkt. Gemeinsam haben wir später KöGiDA eine Abfuhr erteilt und HoGeSa aus der Stadt geworfen. Wir alle haben gezeigt, dass Nazis in Köln nichts verloren haben.

Doch wie sieht es heute aus? 2015 hat die AfD Einzug in die deutsche Politik gehalten. Und seitdem hat sie es geschafft mit Populismus und Lügen die Mitte der Gesellschaft zu infizieren und die Agenda sämtlicher Parteien weiter nach rechts zu schieben. Sie hat es geschafft unsägliches, menschenfeindliches und sexistisches Gedankengut wieder sagbar zu machen. Nicht klammheimlich, aber schleichend. Zwar hat sie in Köln mit den bundesweit schlechtesten Wahlergebnissen bislang nicht punkten können, aber der Kampf gegen Rechts ist in den letzten Jahren nicht leichter geworden.

Über 11.000 Fahnen von Kein Veedel für Rassismus, wehen als klares Statement dieser Stadt aus vielen Kölner Fenstern. Aber das reicht als anti- faschistisches Engagement nicht aus. Wir müssen in Überzahl den Arsch hochkriegen und auf die Straßen tragen.

Im letzten September ist das zum ersten Mal krachend gescheitert. Der Leverkusener Nazi Markus Beisicht, der mit seiner Bürgerbewegung Pro Köln 2008 hier noch von Zehntausenden mit wehenden

Fahnen vom Hof gejagt wurde, hat mit seiner Partei Aufbruch Leverkusen dort jahrelang herumgeplänkelt. Aus seiner rechtsextremen Gesinnung hat er dabei nie einen Hehl gemacht. Jetzt hat er die Chance gewittert in einer Melange aus Coronaleugner:innen und pro- russischen Pseudo-Friedensaktivisti die sozialen Proteste für sich einzunehmen. Und obwohl er auf seiner Kundgebung zusammen mit anderen rechten Rednern klar nationalistisches Gedankengut verbreitet hat und vorm Kölner Dom gar die erste Strophe des Deutschlandliedes abgespielt wurde, ist es ihm gelungen, fast doppelt so viele Menschen zu mobilisieren wie unser Gegenprotest. Am 4. Dezember will er es wieder versuchen.

Neuer Naziaufmarsch am 04.Dezember Wem das nicht egal ist, kommt am 4. Dezember in die Stadt und zeigt den Faschist:innen, dass Köln es noch drauf hat. Folgt den Kanälen von Köln gegen Rechts auf Facebook, Twitter und Instagram für weitere Infos. Setzen wir an dem Tag hier wieder ein deutliches und massenhaftes Zeichen, dass wir Nazis nicht die Straße überlassen. Denn gerade jetzt muss es wieder heißen Arsch huh, bevor es eines Tages zu spät ist.

Gegen rechten Aufmarsch 4. Dez 2022 | 11:00 h | Ort folgt

Hi can I please have a request for Jeremiah x reader, thank you so much 🥰 your writing is great!!! And Amazing!!! Where you and Jeremiah swim in the pool in the day time where everyone can see. Your dating but no one really can tell. You two flirting and giggling, just having fun but then the girl, Gigi. I think her name is? She try’s to flirt with him, he declines saying he’s got a girlfriend not really paying attention to their reaction, instead just focusing on you. She looks over to you jealous, as Jeremiah brings you into a kiss. Just that the girls are jealous that Jeremiah is only looking at you. Thank you so much 🥰😍

warnings: language? make out sesh

a/n: sorry this took so long, i've been really busy painting my sister's room. enjoy this jere 🧸 fic. Also I tweaked it a little... Sorry 💛

Visiting Jeremiah at his job at the Club was one of your favorite things. Sure it was annoying seeing all those girls drooling over him, but it made you smile when he declined their flirtatious attempts, because you knew he was yours.

Today was one of those days. As soon as Jere saw you approaching the pool, he waved, and jumped down from his post, and ran over to you. "eager to see me? " you asked, wiggling your eyebrows. He chuckled lifting you in the air & spinning you around. You were wearing these big mirror sunglasses, and a dress covering your bikini.

"Hey, i'm still on my shift but when it's over, you and I are gonna have some fun" he said, poking you in the side, earning a giggle from you.

"Okay, ill be waiting " you said poking him right back in the side. "imma chat with steven at the snack bar" you said beginning to walk off.

When he responds, "you mean bug him at the snack bar?" and walks back to his post. You roll your eyes and head for Steven.

"if it isnt little mis y/n" Steven asks when you aproach.

"ha ha" you laugh half heartedly, "lemonade, Steven" you demqan more than ask.

"what's the magic word?" he asks, smiling, knowing that it bugs you.

"please" you sigh, steven raises an eyebrow, giving you 'and what else' look. "pretty please with a cherry on top" you say giving him your prettiest fake smile. And while the two of you were teasingly bickering with each other, Gigi was making her way over to your man in the pool.

"Hey, Jeremiah" Gigi swims over to Jeremiah.

"Hey Gigi" Jeremiah returns the smile.

"I didn't know you were working here this summer" Gigi starts flirting.

Jere ignores her statement, and blows his whistle "Billy no choking! all right?" you know he must have been talking to billy & carter, he complained about them on a daily basis.

"Jeremiah, aren't you gonna save me?" Gigi tries flirting again, capturing Jere's attention. At the sound of this you turn you head their direction, Jere surely knew she was flirting with him, right?

He gave her a smile, like he was contemplating her offer, with made your stomach swirl with jealousy. Steven notices your attention on the two, "She has been flirting with him ALL summer, surprised he hasn't gone for it yet, he's been ignoring her like she's a bag of fleas or somethin'" Steven chuckles. That comment didn't ease your stomach as well as you had hoped, you started walking back over to the pool, since Steven was being called away.

Neither of them saw you walking over, "so you got a girlfriend or something, Jere Bear? " Gigi asks Jeremiah, and god how you hated that she was calling him that.

"I do, actually" Jeremiah responded smiling at the thought of you, making him look over at you, noticing you were approaching.

"Oh what a shame" Gigi fake pouts, "we could have so SO much fun together." she smirks, biting her lip, looking up at him.

You swore your face turned red, angry & jealousy swirling in your stomach, gosh why is Gigi such a bitch you thought.

Jeremiah chuckled uncomfortably. "Uh, yeah." Jeremiah looked in your direction, seeing you walk over, he flashes a smile.

"well-" Gigi starts again, to flirt again.

At this point you were sick of it, "Hey Jeremiah" you exclaimed. You took Jeremiah by his lanyard, pulled him down and kissed him. You kissed him passionately, your jealousy fueling your passion. Your other hand is wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer, as you slipped your tongue slipped past his lips, down his throat. Jere slipped off his chair and wrapped his hand around your waist. The shock on his face was wearing off. You only broke apart for air. Gig coughed "ahem"

Your head swiveled around, your arm sliding down from his neck, to rest on his bicep. "Oh, I'm sorry, are we bothering you?" You asked with fake sympathy failing to withhold a smirk.

"i- I uh, so your the girlfriend huh?" Gigi chuckles nervously.

"Yes I am" you smile proudly. Planting a kiss on Jere's lips then one on his neck then his bicep. Leaving your boyfriend a blushing mess. Making sure she knew, actually everyone knew Jeremiah Fisher was yours, your man, your love.

Backseat Rider

pairings: jeremiah fisher x reader, jeremiah fisher x belly conklin

warnings: sad, angst,

summary: based on Sara Kays' amazing song Backseat Rider

a/n: first jeremiah fisher fic, this might be terrible i have no idea. Luv you all!! also go listen to sara kays!!

MASTERLIST

part 1 part 2

You lived down the block

We met for the first time at the bus stop

We sat side by side

Third seat from the back, we talked the whole ride

You met a few summers back, at the bus stop. The two of you became best friends with a snap of his fingers. His family loved you!

Six years later you bought your first car

And you told me to wait outside

Then you pulled up and somebody else

Was sitting in the passenger's side

And then you met the Conklins, Belly was your age, you two actually clicked. You couldn’t wait to go driving, you couldn’t wait to “sail” down the beachfront in his red jeep. But when that red jeep, the one that you 2 had talked about getting together, pulled up to your driveway. You smiled and waved, and then your smile dropped a little when you saw her in the passenger side. “Hey y/n/n '' Jere said as you got in the car.

“Hi Jere,” you smiled softly.

Then Belly turned up the radio and started chatting with Jeremiah, even though you were best friends, no one paid attention to you. You rested your chin on your arm and started staring off into space.

So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

The first few weeks were fine, you were okay with some peace and quiet. It was hard though when you were so in love with him. You loved him, but after 5 weeks of watching Belly and Jere gush over each other, you could tell he loved Belly. And it hurts.

Maybe it's my fault

Spent summer break away and forgot to call

Or maybe you forgot

Around this time last summer, we sat in the parking lot

Jealous Much?

pairing: Robby Keene x reader

warnings: mmm like one swear word? Spelling errors

summary: Robby gets a 'little' jealous

a/n: thissss is my first Robby fic. So please be gentle on me, I hope y'all like it 🤩😍

-✧⬝✧⬝✧⬝✧⬝✧-

It was like any other day, the two of you had just finished up at the dojo, you were gathering up your stuff when hawk walked over to you. “Hey baby” he started off, “you looked really good out there”. You rolled your eyes, god, hawk is such a flirt. “You can kick me with one of those roundhouse kicks any day,” you chuckled at his words. You and hawk had been close friends, before he was hawk, when he was Eli. You never minded the flirtatious banter between the two of you.

Robby watched from across the room. Jaw, and fists clenched, seeing hawk place his hand on your waist and then you laughed at whatever hawk was saying. Just angering robby even more, no robby doesn't try to be the jealous type, but he is your boyfriend, hawk is not your boyfriend. Robby angrily grabbed his bag, pushed through his fellow students, making his way over to where you were standing with Hawk by the exit.

“Hey love” robby said, coming up behind you wrapping his arm around you. Hawk retracted his hand, placing it 'nervously’ by his side. “Ready to head out?”

“Um, sure” you said nervously, tucking a strand of hair behind your hair. "See you later Eli” you smiled, waving to him as robby swung the door open.

Finally exiting the dojo, robby turned to you. "What the hell was that back there?!”

"What was what?” you asked, confusion laced in your voice.

"That! With hawk!! He was all over you!” robby cried with anger, waving his hands at the dojo.

“C'mon, we're just friends, he's always flirty, he's flirty by nature” you tried to laugh it off.

Robby chuckled at your words yelling again, face so close to yours. “That. that was not “just friends” touches!”

You stood looking at him, fear in your eyes. “'mm sorry” you mumbled.

“Just go” he sighed, angrily pointing the other direction, opposite his car, to which he normally takes you home in, or to his house.

You walked off in silence slowly nodding your head. As soon as you got home you cried, the slams of your door closing echoing in the back of your mind, You sobbed into your pillow in your room. The flashes of him angrily slamming his car door shut, when you walked off into the distance, Him roughly grabbing your arm, red spot where his hand used to be. Tears burned your eyes.

---

Robby stared at his phone, waiting for some miracle to happen, for you to pick up the phone? To receive a text from you? Yes. You haven’t answered any of his calls or texts in the past couple days, and it led him to worry. Gosh you could be so frustrating he thought to himself. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen you since, "the incident”. When he got jealous and he yelled at you, and you who looked like you were about to burst into tears in front of him. Oh my god, i'm an idiot he thought.

Robby quickly ran down to the flower shop, got roses your favorite and then got you brownies with fudge frosting and m&m's on top, your favorite. He ran over to your house; knocking on the door.

Who could that be you thought? You weren't expecting anybody, pausing taylor, you ran downstairs to open the door, a smile on your face. Swinging the door open.

"I-” robby says lifting the flowers up towards you. Slam. You slammed the door in his face. You angrily turned around about to run upstairs.

"Y/n!!!”robby yelled banging on the door, “give me a chance please”

You slowly turned around, I mean what the worst that could happen you questioned yourself. Squeezing your eyes shut you open the door, peaking one eye open. "Hi" you said quietly.

“Omgosh y/n, i'm so so sorry for yelling at you and accusing of you of flirting with hawk. I know hawk's a flirt well and sorta a jerk too. but you know i trust you-”

"what do you want” you spoke up.

“i just want to spend some time with you?” robby stated. A shy smile appearing on his face. You looked at the flowers he was holding, “Oh! I almost forgot, these are for you and um brownies your favorite, with m&m's.” robby held out the gifts for you to take.

Gosh he looked like a nervous teenager, like he did on that first date of yours together. “Come in” you said, accepting the gifts and moving to the side arm swinging out to welcome him in. Walking up to your room, you ask shyly, "Wanna watch a movie and cuddle?”

"Yes! Wait does that mean you forgive me??” robby asked eyes pleading.

IMAGES: Israel receives three more F-35I Adir fighters

Stealth aircraft arrived at Nevatim Air Base in southern Israel, bringing the total number of F-35 in Israel's possession to 36.

The Israeli Air Force received on Sunday (13/11) three additional F-35 stealth fighters from the American manufacturer Lockheed Martin, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Its addition raises the total number of fifth-generation jets in Israel's possession to 36. Israel must fly three F-35 squadrons - or a total of 75 - and can order a fourth squad in the future.

The 36 aircraft in the IAF inventory include an F-35 specialized in flight tests that operates from the Flight Test Center at Tel Nof air base, south of Tel Aviv.

The three new fighters will join Squadron 140 (Golden Eagle) and begin participating in operational activities in the coming weeks.

Israel first signed a Letter of Agreement (LOA) to buy the aircraft in October 2010, making it the first country in the world to select the F-35 as part of a Foreign Military Sale (FMS) with the United States administration.

The IAF declared its F-35 aircraft operational in December 2017, after completing an extensive training process, in addition to absorbing the aircraft and the necessary personnel at Nevatim Air Base.

The new aircraft will join the "Golden Eagle" Squadron. (Photo: Israel Defense Forces)

Last week, two F-35 'Adir' fighters from the Israel Air Force (IAF) escorted two American B-52 bombers above Israeli airspace on their way back from the Persian Gulf, the IDF spokesman's Unit said on Thursday.

The overflight was carried out as part of a “growing cooperation” between the Israeli and American military, the unity of the spokesman added.

This marked the first time that US jets were accompanied by Israel's F-35 fleet, with these escorts usually carried out using the 'Sufa' F-16 jets.

Worldwide, 860 F-35 aircraft have accumulated 590,000 flight hours, according to Lockheed Martin. The jets operate globally from 36 locations and aircraft carriers and are owned by nine different countries.
