Rome Airport in Italy successfully cooperates with Nanjing AE

Background:

To encourage the purchase of electric vehicles and EV charging stations, the Italian government approved a new incentive measure, which has officially come into effect in 2023. The incentive measure is part of dedicated funding for the automotive industry, with about $8.7 billion expected to be spent in the year 2023-2024 to provide subsidies for the purchase of  vehicles of low-pollution and low-emission and charging infrastructure. The introduction of this incentive measure will inject new vitality into Italian electric vehicle market.

Policy subsidies:

What incentives are there for buying an electric car in Italy?

The most important new content of the electric vehicle incentives announced officially in 2023 include subsidies for the purchase of charging stations and a list of beneficiaries. For example, the long-term rental companies offer double subsidies for those whose income is below 30,000 euros .The total fiscal coverage of electric vehicle incentives in 2023 is $150 million.This move will further expand the user groups of electric vehicles and allow more people to enjoy the convenience and benefits of environmentally friendly travel.

Additionally, further donations are expected to be used to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. 40 million euros will be used to subsidize the installation of EV chargers. The policy aims to reduce net emissions to zero by the year 2050 and replace diesel vehicles by 2035 or earlier.

Current status of charging infrastructure:

By the end of 2022 , Italy had 36,772 EV chargers installed at 19,334 charging stations (stations or poles) and 14,048 public locations. Equally important, the output power of charging point is also growing.The number of ultra-fast charging points has been tripled, with the output power ranging from 100kW to 350kW. This improvement measures will greatly improve charging efficiency and meet the growing charging demand. 

The number of charging stations close to city centers and major cities is growing rapidly . There are more than 600 charging stations every 10 kilometers, aiming to solve the charging problem in the popularization of electric vehicles and provide users with more convenient charging services. Motorway charging points increase rapidly compared to the previous year. In one year, the number of charging stations has been quadrupled , with 64% of them having the power of 150kW or more, providing drivers with shorter charging times for long-distance journeys.

Case:

AE system (AEAUTO) signed a batch order of #120kW DC fast charging stations with Italian bus operators in the first half of this year. The EV chargers will be used for the airport internal bus fleet, buses, and luggage transport vehicles, to improve the overall operational efficiency of the airport and make it convenient for passengers. Meanwhile, this will reduce carbon emissions and provides employees with environmentally friendly and efficient charging service.

There are a lot of fleets in Rome airport in Italy. Including land transportation services and passenger and baggage transport vehicles within the airport area, which require dedicated base locations for maintenance and charging. These vehicles play a vital role in airport operations, providing indispensable support for maintaining flight operations and comfortable passenger travel. Therefore, providing efficient charging solutions for these electric ground service vehicles and employee electric vehicles is crucial for airports.

Selection process:

Airport management began looking for the right charging station product to meet their needs. After visiting Nanjing AE(AEAUTO) #charging station samples at an international trade show , they contacted the local dealer and decided to cooperate with AE system . AEAUTO has a high reputation in the field of charging infrastructure and is committed to #providing the best charging solutions to electric vehicle customers. The products not only provide the perfect combination of functionality, efficiency and convenience, but also meet economic efficiency requirements.

Solution:

Nanjing AE (AEAUTO)#electric vehicle charging stations are equipped with #V2G technology, which not only provides fast charging but also enables two-way flow of energy. It can be realized that the electric energy from the line network can be charged into the power battery of the electric vehicle during the low power load period, and the electric energy in the electric vehicle power battery can be fed back to the line network during the peak electric load period. It can help the line network achieve peak-cutting and valley-filling and frequency modulation functions. It is also equipped with multiple charging method options such as #APP/OCPP/RFID; multiple standard insertion guns can be customized, including #CCS/CHAdeMO/GBT; it also has high-efficiency charging capabilities, with a #charging efficiency of up to 97%.

Always room for seconds (dp x dc)

"There they go again," says Aunt Alicia as she looks at the hazmat-clad backs of her sister and her husband jumping into their mish-mash-of-a-van. "And on Thanksgiving too," she finishes to herself as she turns toward her niece and nephew. Neither of them look surprised, though Jazz is clearly more affected if the tick in her jaw is any indication.

"They promised," she practically spits but Danny just sighs and puts a hand on her shoulder. It seems to draw the fight out of Jazz a bit and she sags onto herself.

Alicia loves her sister but she can be so irresponsible sometimes.

"Come on kids, let's go back inside. It's about time to put the turk-" she stops short, then groans. Maddie had insisted on bringing the turkey on account of not wanting Alicia to go to all the trouble, and Alicia had agreed on the condition that her sister wouldn't try to make it. "...And the turkey is still in the van isn't it?"

Danny makes a face. "It's probably for the best. I'm pretty sure I saw it move on the way here."

Alicia doesn't let her head fall into her hands, but only just. Instead, she takes a deep breath to calm herself down to rally her thoughts. "Alright. It'll be too late by the time we drive to town and buy a new raw one, so we can just get some already made from the store. That good for you guys?"

Jazz and Danny make sounds of assent before all three of them pile up in the car. Town isn't too far away, and the trip is mostly silent. Alicia is hesitating over what to say to cheer up her niece and nephew. In the end, they pull up to the grocery store before she manages to come up with anything.

"Dad was also supposed to bring desert," Jazz mentions as she grabs a caddie and wheels it back to them.

"I made apple pie just in case," Alicia answers. Despite her dislike for him, she can admit that Jack Fenton is a generous man. However, as she has learned over the years, that generosity doesn't extend to fudge. Which is why she's got her famous apple pie ready to pop into the oven.

Danny nods relieved, as he files in behind his sister. The three of them are rolling past the frozen section when a familiar voice cuts through the store music.

"Alicia?"

At that, Alicia looks up to see the face of one and only Martha Kent. Her lips stretch into a smile unconsciously at the sight.

"Martha, hi," she answers as the other woman starts walking closer. "How are you?"

"I'm good," the other woman says as she stops in front of them. "Just doing some last-minute shopping." Then Martha looks to Danny and Jazz and gives them a smile. "And who might these two be?"

"This is Jazz and Danny," Alicia introduces them, "my niece and nephew. They're spending Thanksgiving up at the cabin with me."

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Martha says sincerely. "You left your sister and her husband in charge of the turkey, then?" She winks.

Alicia winces. "Ah, not exactly."

"They had a work emergency," Jazz says, unhappy.

Martha lets out a sympathetic oh.

"That's why we're here," Alicia explains. "They left with the turkey without realizing, so we'll have to settle for store-bought this year."

Martha makes a noise of sympathy before her face shifts into something more pensive. "You know," she starts. "I've got a big turkey at home and there's only going to be my son and me to eat it. If you guys would like, we'd love to have you over to help us with it."

"Oh we couldn't possibly-" Alicia starts to protest but Martha takes a step forward and takes her hands.

"You'd be doing us a favour," Martha says, her hands still into Alicia's as she looks up earnestly at the redhead. And damn it all because Alicia can feel a blush spreading on her cheeks at that.

"Alright," Alicia says, too flustered to argue.

Martha squeezes her hands once before letting go and Alicia can't help but miss the warmth of them. "Then it's settled."

"Alright," repeats Alicia. "We'll have to swing back home, though. I made pie."

"That's wonderful!" Martha's smile is radiant and it makes something in Alicia's chest warm.

She disguises it with a cough before speaking up. "Is six thirty too early for you?"

"It's perfect. We'll be waiting for you then," Martha says. "And for your sister and her husband too, if they manage to tear themselves away from work."

"That's not likely," mumbles Danny under his breath. Uncharacteristically, Jazz doesn't say anything about her brother's manners, only putting her own hand on his shoulder. Martha catches Alicia's eye and they exchange a look.

"Well, we'll be glad to have you three, anywho," Martha states firmly which gets her a hesitant smile from Jazz.

Alicia clears her throat. "We'd better get going if we want to be ready in time."

"Oh yes," Martha agrees. "I have to make sure the turkey's not burning." Then she winks, and for some reason, Alicia can feel that pesky blush coming back. It's made worse by the shrewd look Jazz gives her.

"See you soon!" says Martha as she leaves.

"Bye," Alicia answers back a little weakly. Then she looks down to the ground and sighs. When she straightens her head, she's immediately on guard as she catches her niece's smug look.

"What?" Alicia asks warily.

"Is Martha single?" Jazz asks, with a butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth face.

"Yeah," the older redhead answers slowly. "Why?"

"Just wanted to know," Jazz says innocently. And even Danny is looking at his sister suspiciously now. "since you've got a crush on her and all."

"I do no-I don't know what you're talking about!" Alicia protests though she feels her cheeks warming for the third time today.

And now Danny is starting to smirk too as he exchanges a look with his sister. "Oh," he starts as he looks towards Martha's disappearing figure. "This is going to be fun."

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

Neato answers buddy! :D

1: What's one video game the duo would like to go into? (It must be a story game not like Minecraft or any multiplayer)

2: Let's say the starburst duo got sucked into resident evil 2 remake & had to go through the events ( Leon A, just them, & no powers) will they be able to beat it & escape?

3: What's the worst panic attack the duo ever gotten?

4: How would Jon, Chris, Kon & the super-twins cuddle together?

5: Between the super-sons, the super-twins, starburst duo, & timkon, who wins in a game of basketball? Rules: only hover a few inches above ground (if able to) first to 10 scores wins, & the group with the least amount of points get face covered up in make-up.

Aww thanks @pin-crusher2000 . these are always fun to answer XD

1) Hmmm…..Well I have been having in my mind for the longest time a sort of crossover between DC and of all things CoD Zombies so…..Maybe one night Chris and Jake find themselves awakening inside a denounce and hellish version of the infamous Alcatraz Island, crawling all over with not just the undead but also hellhounds all led by an equally demonic Warden and the Duo have their powers severely dampened. They don’t have to rely on firearms to protect themselves but the waves of undead charging at them are endless and there’s seemingly no escape. Thats when they get help from a certain voice of a girl who guides them on their little haunting adventure, explaining that ancient evil which brought these undead to life had sucked the Duo into this world to break a sort of cycle their reality was within to ensure their own dominance or reality.

The girl’s name is Samantha. She would tell Chris and Jake how all this really began

Basically The Starburst Duo in a combination of Mob of the Dead and Origins basically lol.

2) Oh definitely so. Their parents taught them very well on survival techniques for those types of scenarios where both the Dead and the Monstrous Rise and they’re left powerless. As such, them fighting alongside the lovable rookie cop that is Leon Kennedy in the world ravaged by the T Virus can seem right up their alley no matter how freaky the effects of said Virus can be like, and not just those Nemesis T Zombies

3) Chris: The one he got once a more complete picture of his memories as Lor Zod and all the harsh treatment he got from his birth father and after sending the General and his army back into the Phantom Zone, being surrounded by all those reporters and his super hearing picking up on all the sounds of suffering all over Metropolis, unable to reach his family and eventually the pressure getting so bad, he straight flew away from the sight as fast as he could and far away from everything as fast as he could. It was once he was far away enough at the other side of the globe that he managed to calm himself to an extent. It really took another whole week wandering the earth in secret and about another week and a half staying with the Graysons until Chris finally was able to approach the Kents once again.

Jake: Probably in the immediate months after he was discharged from Bludhaven General Hospital for his recovery from his fateful and haunting duel against Victor Zsasz, it’s easy to envision Jake getting increased anxiety with capers and cases involving kids like himself in grave danger or far worse. He might get the job done if it involves rescuing said kids but his mind has gone into full overdrive with panic and fear as those memories of finding those slain orphans and how cruel Zsasz was are surfacing. It usually takes his allies, friends and loved ones present to help calm him. Also of course, plenty of nightmares and bad dreams about that particular case are a lot frequent for him, especially on those first few months afterwards.

4) it’s a five person longways pile on either the living room couch or a king sized bed. Conner would be at the core with Chris to his immediate right side and Osul to his left. From there, Jon would be snoring happily next to Osul while Otho in turn is cuddled up next to Chris. Conner’s loud snoring is blissful ambiance for the younger siblings.

5) I would say it’s major tie between the Super Twins and the Starburst Duo, not simply for their power levels and ability to learn as they play. It’s moreso how well in tune those two teams really are with Chris and Jake complimenting each other’s strengths and weaknesses with both stern direction and experience. Thr Twins on the other hand have superb understanding of what the other of doing and how to follow suit given their years working side by side back on Warworld

[tealmisthams]

Ahhh I have to ask another that last Drabble was so good! For kiss roulette can you do number 38 please for fivesoka 👀💕

Thanks for another request! I hope you enjoy! 💙

Also posted on Ao3 here.

Prompt 38: A kiss while one party is carried

Fives’ heart pounded in his ears as he sprinted across the battlefield.

He’d been so focused on his own section of the firefight that, even though he’d taken note when the Jedi had engaged General Grievous, that piece of information had fallen to the back of his mind as he focused on the battle droids around him.

He’d been crouched with Tup behind the cover of a broken slab of concrete, when the flashing of green and blue lightsabers caught his eye. In the heartbeat that he glanced towards the Jedi, he caught the moment when Grievous struck and Ahsoka fell.

Fives felt as though his breath had been knocked from his lungs and his body subconsciously transitioned into autopilot. There was no longer time for precautions. Six SBDs remained in front of him and the ARC trooper swiftly dispatched them with six precise shots of his DC-17s.

Then he took off across the battlefield, his vision tunneling on the location where he’d last seen Ahsoka. Fives barely noticed the enemies that attempted to block him. He jumped, twisted, and discharged his blasters, disabling the oncoming droids without even thinking about it.

Finally, he made it to the open area where he’d last seen the Jedi. Grievous was long gone, as were Skywalker and Kenobi. Fives activated his rangefinder and frantically swept the clearing. There.

His breath finally returned when he spotted a figure behind a pile of rubble that matched the commander’s size. He’d found her, but that didn’t mean she was alright. He charged across the open area, not even bothering to check that there were no other enemies nearby.

Fives rounded the rubble pile and his heart leapt into his throat. Ahsoka was lying on her back, unconscious. A cauterized gash stretched across her right thigh and several cuts streaked her face.

Throwing off his helmet, Fives dropped to his knees beside her.

“Commander!” he gasped.

When she didn’t respond, he pressed two fingers to the pulse point on her neck and exhaled with relief when he felt her heartbeat.

The air around him had gone still, and Fives realized that the battle must have ended or at least paused for now. A quick glance over his shoulder confirmed as such when he saw that his brothers had emerged from their cover and he could no longer spot any standing battle droids.

“Kix, get over here!” he shouted, as soon as he spotted the medic, not even bothering to use their comm channel.

Without waiting to see if Kix heard him, he turned back to Ahsoka, who still lay unconscious in front of him. Carefully, he lifted her into his lap, cradling her upper body with one of his arms. His heart clenched when she still didn’t stir.

“Commander, wake up.” He felt his voice threatening to crack as he spoke. “Ahsoka, please.”

Suddenly her blue eyes flew open and she nearly jumped out of his arms, but he held her where she was. Her eyes darted rapidly around her, trying to determine what had happened. Then her gaze found Fives’ and she seemed to deflate; she likely would have fallen over, if she weren’t being held up by his embrace.

“Fives?” she asked weakly. “What happened?”

“Grievous got you,” he told her. Then he released a ragged breath. “You di’kut, Ahsoka, you need to be more careful,” he tried to scold, but he couldn’t control the shaking in his voice.

“Says the ARC trooper running around a battlefield without a helmet on,” she countered. She reached up to brush the backs of her knuckles against his cheek, sending shivers through him under his armor.

“Commander, are you alright?” Kix’s approach saved Fives from having to respond.

“I’m fine, Kix,” Ahsoka responded calmly, her voice now having regained some of its usual strength.

“That’s good to hear.” The tension in the medic’s shoulders seemed to ease slightly at her reassurance. “Will you be alright until we make it back to base?”

“Of course. Thank you, Kix.”

“Yes, sir. I can send someone over to help you walk back-”

“No, I got it,” Fives interrupted.

“If you say so, Fives.” The medic raised his hands as if in surrender, then turned to continue cataloging the company’s casualties.

“Can you help me up, so I can walk?” Ahsoka asked, glancing up at Fives.

He flashed her a half-smile. “Nope.”

He grabbed his helmet from where it had fallen beside him and clipped it to his left hip. Then, keeping one arm around Ahsoka’s shoulders and hooking the other under her knees, he stood, lifting her with him. He’d never carried her before, but he wasn’t at all surprised at how light she was.

“I was being careful, you know,” she muttered, as he began walking.

Fives couldn’t help but chuckle. “And not at all reckless?”

“Well…”

He laughed again when she hesitated and scrunched her nose.

Then he sighed. “Just try not to get hurt next time. Please?”

She looked up at him and something flashed across her blue eyes, though he wasn’t certain what it was.

“Fine,” she agreed, after a moment. “Only for you.”

“I’ll take it.”

An unfamiliar warmth swelled in his chest and he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. She sighed and leaned her head against his chest, and he held her a little tighter as he carried her the rest of the way back to their base.

Rubezahls are demons that take the form of a black furred stag that walks on its hind legs. It's legs shift to those of a shaggy goat, and its arms end in clawed hands, but most dangerous are the immense, curved horns that grace its head. These demons are drawn to high mountains, where they enjoy using their magic to disguise themselves as travelling monks, lost merchants, or other innocent and vulnerable victims to draw in victims.

Rubezahls are consummate liars and tricksters, and also have control of lightning, calling down bolts from the sky onto their prey. One of the other nicknames for them is counting demons, coming from their compulsion to count objects. A rubezahl can be distracted for precious moments as it must count a handful of coins, a quiver of arrows, or a pile of rocks. Unfortunately, it is only for a moment, as rubezahls are extremely fast counters and can track even a giant pile of gravel in mere moments, after which they will vent their rage for their compulsion being exploited on the one who did so.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Knotting "among most significant challenges to post-Vietnam America", scientists say

WASHINGTON, DC | August 3rd 1976

Hundreds of high school graduates suffered traumatic injury and PTSD in the jungles of southeast asia. For many, knotting is the only relief they can find. "I saw bodies piled up in ditches. I got shipped to firebase Charlie-29 with my best bud from back home. We were gonna cross the country on a road trip... now all i got of him is this picture," said Morwen Thistie, a 20-year old man who was among the last evacuated from Saigon during its fall to North Vietnamese forces last year. Morwen continued, "knotting's all I have. Everyone from my unit does. I guess it's kinda a shared experience, though that's kinda [expletive removed]". And Morwen is not alone in feeling angry. Across the country-- in rural and urban areas, Democratic and Republican, East and West Coast-- young men are calling for their elected representatives to take effective and humanitarian action to address the knotting crisis. "My clients, drafted into a war that brutalized and traumatized them for no benefit, are now being criminalized for knotting by the very government that allowed it in the first place. And frankly, that is shameful." reads the public statement of Kevin G. Auss, a lawyer working *pro bono* for a group of men suing the New York prosecutor over knotting charges. Auss, himself a former knotter, says that such a pathway is not only the moral option-- it's also the only feasible option. "If we don't address the knotting epidemic that we created, who knows where we'll be in ten years?" Auss said during our interview with him (see page A9 "knotting). The *Times* contacted the Department of Defense for this story, who declined to comment.

Preview of the Upcoming Chapter of “Part of Your World”

“So…who is this guy?” Moira asked as she, Polly, Elliot, Will, and Natalia sat on the sectional, “And how come we haven’t seen him before?”

“Or heard of him?” Barry added.

Chris stood beside Leon and Ollie, Leon looking around at his surroundings in wonder, curious at the house and its contents. He then looked at Barry and the teenagers and kids, all of whom Leon canted his head at as he looked them all over. Leon then went over to the fish tank sitting between the television and the wall. He made odd chirping sounds and noises, the goldfish in the tank seemingly pausing and turning to listen.

“He’s from out of town.” Chris quickly added, “Maine, so he’s, y’know…” Chris continued, twirling a finger next to his head, “He’s really into fish…but he’s deathly afraid of swimming. Right, Leon?”

Leon turned to look at him, then looked at Barry, “He doesn’t like the flakes. He prefers the pellets that you used to feed him.”

Barry merely blinked at Leon before shaking his head and turning his attention back to Chris, “Seriously, where did you find this guy? There is no way this oddball was related to the same Jill Valentine we knew and loved. How much did you pay him?” Barry then gave him a better look, “…and why does he look eerily familiar?”

“Because Jill showed photos of him before, except he was WAY younger in them than he is now, obviously.” Chris said with a chuckle, “C’mon, Barry, you know Jill had her oddball moments too. That was part of why we all loved her so much.”

Barry scratched his beard and grumbled under his breath, giving a shrug and a “I guess you’re right” before turning to the kids piled onto the couch. He gave them “The Talk” about behaving and “listening to Mr. Leon” while they were all out hunting for the Merman. Leon’s head perked up at that.

“Moira, Elliot. Help him with the little kiddies, got it?” Barry demanded, raising a brow at them, the two eldest teens nodding in confirmation.

With another nod, Barry led the way, DC following behind him as Chris turned to Ollie and Leon. He lifted Ollie into his arms and gave him a hug, Ollie giggling as Chris peppered kisses on his little cheeks, his scruff tickling Ollie’s skin. Leon looked at them, smiling as he came over and hugged Chris after he put the little boy down. This earned a raised brow from Chris along with a chuckle, Chris relenting and hugging him back.

“Behave.” Chris said to them both, more so to Leon than Ollie, “Remember what we talked about…”

“”No Swimming”!” Ollie said.

“No Swimming!” Leon parroted, just as happily.

Chris gave a nod of his own before following the men out to the trucks, piling into the vehicles as they started up. The kids all went over to the window, watching as their Dads and friends took off into the night. Leon did the same, only so he could see what the others were looking at.

“So, uh, why can’t we go swimming?” Will asked as he looked up at Leon.

Leon looked down and blinked at the little boy, “Uh…because I am not a good swimmer.” He lied, “So, uh, no pool!”

“We can swim.” Moira pointed out, motioning between herself and Elliot, “So, what’s the problem?”

“Daddy and Uncle Barry said that Leon is in charge!” Ollie reminded them, “He’s the only adult here, so we have to listen to what he says!”

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 431

"Would you like a cup of coffee or another cup of hot bile?" Smithy asks Kezia, being stuck with her for another shift to help her sort through some paperwork. She moans continuously at Smithy about how little she's getting to do compared to two CID sergeants (seemingly forgetting she's only a trainee DC) and doesn't seem to register that when she was actually given a case she lost her temper, blew it and then charged to the man's house and tried to harass him.

Smithy suggests that she stamps her foot for a bit to try change it and Kezia insists she's the right to be annoyed and she could be working on bigger and better things. "But you're not, you're standing there and bitching at me." he points out, telling her the more that she moans and whines about it and the less she does her work, the less likely she is to find a lead and actually get something to go out and investigate like she wants to! She really is petulant and it's not endearing in the slightest!

Thanks to Smithy guiding her, Kezia winds her neck in, crosschecks registrations, finds what she's looking for, gets the CCTV, investigates it, finds proof to her suspicions and impresses her sergeants. Funny what can happen when you actually do your job!

He returns later to find the CID briefing room in complete disarray and Sgt Army visibly twitches and starts to clear up after her, disposing of her rubbish for her. She teases him by throwing her paperwork across the desk - but dislodges a half cup of tea in the process which spills all across the paperwork. Smithy literally leaps into action to clear the mess up and then bring some order to the chaos. In doing so he finds leads amongst the mess and they are able to suggest a possible reason for the crime having happened.

Later, when Smithy has ordered everything back into nice neat piles and found the related paperwork for each part, he also has found an application form for a job that is filled out by Keith Durante - the suspected rapist that Smithy saved Kezia from a charge of harassment against the other night. It turns out that the route would have brought him into contact regularly with his suspected second victim - something he's shown a pattern of wanting to do with all his victims. Smithy suggests they check the classifieds of the local paper to see if he's applied for more - he has, all within walking distance of the hospital. He then goes on to check to see if the companies themselves have any links with St Hughes. He returns to find Kezia leaving a voicemail for Beth, telling her that she could be in danger. Smithy points out they don't know the full story so she could be worrying a rape victim that her rapist may attack her again for no reason. He makes Kezia ring Beth again to try get hold of her before she hears the message. Beth doesn't answer the phone and Kezia dismisses Smithy's insistence that she shouldn't have put her in that position, claiming she's trying to protect her. She marches over to Neil and puts it to him - and won't accept she's done wrong from her DI either!

Smithy also ends up getting read the riot act by Neil for allowing it to happen - despite knowing nothing of it and not even being in the room when it happened. And after all of that he still tried to soften Neil's blow by making an 'excuse' for her!

got bored and the TSAMS community is cool with OCs, so lemme add mine to the pile

they're also kinda sorta my fnaf OCs in general but I don't really see them that way :/

(ramblepost and version w/out text and shading under the cut)

Dusk (they/them) and Dawn (she/her) were originally created by someone who saw the absolute abysmal way that Sun and Moon were coded and decided to create them some buddies after some squabbling. so, she made Dusk (Sun's friend, comes out during the day) and Dawn (Moon's friend, comes out during the night)

Dusk was created to be smart, fun, and caring, albeit kind of a pushover and shy. Dawn was created to be confident, calming, and sweet, albeit kind of impulsive and an airhead (also, equipped with a certain code that was made to calm down Moon's kill code)

these two animatronics got along with their designated celestial jesters as secondary daycare attendants, and for good reason. they ended up very close, albeit Dusk and Sun's playful and sweet friendship was juxtaposed by Dawn and Moon's "partners in crime" dynamic

BUT! THERE'S A DIMENSIONAL SPLIT HERE!

so there's two versions of the dimension they live in, which I will categorize as Dimension A (DA) and Dimension B (DB)

DA is quite standard, with Dusk and Dawn living alongside Sun and Moon, and the plot goes about what canon's like. all four AIs see each other as siblings in this dimension

oh, but DB is more interesting. see, something happened with Sun and Moon's creator in that dimension, and it was decided to execute him. unfortunately, since Sun and Moon contain a bit of his consciousness, they had to be axed off, too. leaving Dusk and Dawn in charge of the daycare, and said daycare changing to fit the new caretakers

why is this a dimension? because a while later, there's also a canon-ish dimension with Sun and Moon, that decides to visit for an unexplained reason. (this dimension I will call DC) and although they are met with hostility at first, tensions settle down quick and they are welcomed. and because of the circumstances, Sun and Moon do not see themselves as siblings to Dusk and Dawn, and vice versa

(thanks for listening to the ramblepost! don't get too attached to the OCs, I probably won't talk about them unless prompted to)

Today was a really good day but also really surprising in different ways. I felt better then I expected. I was absolutely exhausted when I woke up. I did not sleep great. I really struggled to fall asleep. And when I did sleep it just want good. I had very scary dreams. And woke up really groggy.

But I did my best to power through and shake it off. I got washed and dressed. I felt like my hair was to fluffy today after washing it last night. But it was fine. James set up a little snack box for me and walked me outside. They were biking to DC today, and would let me know when they got there. I would head to work and got there on time.

And it was a lovely day. I was a little colder then I expected. I would be warm in the sun but whenever I was under tree cover I was really cold!

I would spend the first hours of the day setting up some stuff around camp. Putting away other thing. I also continued to work on my lessons. And then started drawing some ideas for camp swag.

Alexi would come in and she told me all about her Disney trip and showed me pictures. Heather would join soon and we all chilled and talked about things I can be doing and some ideas for camp next year. A lot of talking about training and the buy in and the bit. It was a really productive conversation.

Heather and me would go up to to the barn for our little group. This is a school with high support needs students and they will come out every week. It is a small group, but that's even better. I love a small group.

We would get set up with Chloe. There was some road work being done but they promised to take a two hour break so the noise wouldn't upset our students.

They would show up just about on time. I was chatting with Chloe about my new role at camp while the bus driver did some pretty impressive moved to back up the bus and park it on the path because their was a delivery of rocks that was piled in the normal parking space. She was a master at moving that bus seriously we were impressed.

The group was really nice. But we were all a little alarmed when they told us they had stopped and used the girls latrine and it was covered in dead wasps and what they described as "writhing mice". This was super concerning.

So I took a broom and went down to investigate. And sure as shit there was like a few dozen giant dead wasps on the ground and in the shorts and sinks. Horrible. And there were two (I would find a third later) baby mice just on the ground. Not even near each other!

I found a washcloth and picked up the two, adding the third which was in the worst state laying in its side and covered in cob webs, and put them in the sink while I dealt with the wasps. I swept them all out the door and tried to make it nicer then it was. And then I collected the washcloth and brought it with me back to the barn.

I did not have a plan. Chloe gave me a bucket of hay to put them in with my washcloth and eventually my sweatshirt. I just needed to get them warm, they were so cold. I learned that baby mice can't regulate their own temperature. So I did my best to warm them up.

So I was a little distracted. The woman in charge of the group kept saying that the mice were being weird, acting like they were on LSD. And I was just like. They are just abandoned babies, it's alright. Heather suggested feeding them to the snakes but I am not sure why mom abandoned them so I didn't want to risk it. And of course then I got a little attached.

They would be fine in the bucket for now. I hsd my program to run.

I was in charge of helping the student wash buckets. They liked using the hoses. And we got 4 buckets cleaned and filled with fresh water for the horses. They did a good job.

The one student I remember from last year and she seemed so much more self assured. She also just really liked putting her hands in the water buckets. I don't blame her I also like being in the water.

Once they were all done petting the horses and cleaning the tack, they would walk up to the fields to return the horses. I would stay behind and put a few things away and get my baby mice.

I bundled them up and put them in my cleavage. Kept them warm and kept me hands free.

After I put stuff away I went up to see the horses in the feild and it was very bright but also just super beautiful. I showed them the mice and I think everyone thinks I'm being silly. But Heather said it was sweet.

We would finish up with them and had a nice walk back to the barns. The students got back on the bus to leave and we finished putting things away and then me and Heather drove back to the office.

We talked about pregnancy, because the one teacher was pregnant, and Heather told me about when she had her kids. And how hard it was getting pregnant. But how her second happened so fast. Which I thought was interesting. And we went inside.

Where I showed Elizabeth the cup of snails I had brought from home, and my cleavage of mice. She didn't believe at first. But I showed her and Alexi my mice. And then went to find a better container for them at nature.

I also dropped my snails in their new tank, which is still just so cold?? I'm going to have to get a heating element if we don't have one in storage. I thought the lamp I put up would warm the water but no such luck. Hopefully this set lives until then I guess.

I got a critter keeper and some more towels. I set the mics up real cozy and once I got back to the office I microwaved a water bottle to give them something warm to cuddle against. Which they seemed to like for the most part. They make the smallest peeping noises. It's very sweet.

The afternoon would be eating my leftover poke burrito. The rice was to dry and the pineapple turned green but it was still very good. I finished my first sketch for my camp merch idea. I did some research for supplies. I went and set up my Native American field trip for Thursday because I wont have time tomorrow. I felt good. I felt productive.

It was nice to drive around camp getting stuff set up. I used my wagon to get things from my car to the lodge and that helped with the amount of trips. But I was getting really tired.

It was around 3 and I was feeling it hard. I just get so tired at 3. But I went back to the office. I took it slow. I did some research for Heather. I helped brainstorm some theme ideas. I took some notes for project ideas. It was a good time. I only played around on my phone a little.

And soon enough it was time to go home.

I collected my mouse box and buckled them in. I realized I left my chapstick on the table at the barn so I would drive up there first before letting James know I was heading home. I had a snack bag of popcorn while I drove and drank all my water. There wasn't any traffic. And I was happy to be back home.

James seemed very happy to see me. They helped me get the mice set up. Heated up a small heating pad (and misunderstanding and microwaving a slim Jim style cat treat??) And got me the cat milk to try to feed them. But I couldn't find my pippets and was very frustrated. Was pleased when I got them to just kind of nurse on my finger but it probably wasn't enough if the internet was to be believed. I tried my best. They mostly just seemed thrilled to be warm in my hand. I held them until my arm ached. And set their container on a high shelf so Sweetp won't notice them.

I hung out on the couch with sweetp for a long time. I didn't want to do anything really. There was stuff I could do but I didn't want to. I did clean the kitty litter. I did vacuum what I spilled. But I mostly just wanted to melt into the couch.

And that's what I did. Until around 630 when we decided to go to Mathew's pizza for dinner. We had been waiting to see if our friend Lane was coming over but she was not able to. So a little dinner in highlandtown for us.

And it was a really nice dinner. The waitress knew our order without us saying anything. James is so sad to know they could have been speaking in Spanish to her this whole time. I showed James my drawing from today. And Jess texted me that she booked our birthday Disney trip for late January/early February! What a lovely way to end a good day.

I was getting really exhausted though. James said they would carry me but I really don't like being carried. Because I don't like to be squeezed. But it wouldn't come to that. We drove home. I made it upstairs. We checked on Sweetp and fed the aquatics. And got the mice a little more milk.

I finally remembered where I put the pipettes and I don't know if it really worked great but I got them a little more at least and we reheated their heating pad. I hope they will be okay in the morning.

My plan is to put the container in the girls latrine in the morning and see if their mom comes back. If not I'll keep trying to take care of them. If I can keep them alive until their eyes are open I will be thrilled because then they can just eat regular food. And if they stay alive I'm going to make them an interesting habitat in the nature center. Away from the snakes.

Now though I am really tired. I am going to go take a shower. I need to be well rested. Tomorrow is a busy day.

We have groups tomorrow and I have my appointment to get my IUD taken out. To say I'm nervous is an understatement but I will be okay. I'm just afraid they are going to pull it out like they are starting a lawn mower. Which is unlikely but is still what I'm afraid of??

Wish me luck. I love you all. Goodnight!!

Nine part two

“I’ll let you look at one boob,” Nora tells him. “The good one.”

“They’re both good,” June says, suddenly distracted.

“I’ve seen both of them. I can practically see both of them now,” Alex says, gesturing at what Nora is wearing for the day, which is a ratty pair of short overalls and the most perfunctory of bra-like things.

“Hashtag vacation nips,” she says. “Pleeeeeease.”

Alex learned to drive one summer in the valley in this jeep, and the accelerator feels just as good under his foot now as he falls into formation with two black Secret Service SUVs and heads for the interstate. He hardly ever gets to drive himself anywhere anymore.

He cranks up the stereo and feels like he could throw anything away on the wind whipping through his hair and it would just float away like it never was, as if nothing matters but the rush and skip in his chest.

But it’s right behind the haze of dopamine: losing the campaign job, the restless days pacing his room, Do you feel forever about him?

He tips his chin up to the warm, sticky hometown air, catches his own eye in the rearview mirror. He looks bronzed and soft-mouthed and young, a Texas boy, the same kid he was when he left for DC. So, no more big thoughts for today.

Alex bites his lip and watches Henry squeeze their waists in return, and then Alex has him, inhaling the clean smell of him, laughing into the crook of his neck.

“Hi, love,” he hears Henry say quietly, privately, right into the hair above his ear, and Alex’s breath forgets how to do anything but laugh helplessly.

Henry effortlessly lifts June’s cooler up onto one shoulder and Alex pointedly does not swoon about it.

Down by the dock, June and Nora are embroiled in what looks like an improvised jousting match, charging at each other on the backs of inflatable animals with pool noodles. Henry is tipsy and shirtless and attempting to referee, standing on the dock with one foot on a piling and waving a bottle of Shiner around like a madman.

Alex smiles a little to himself, watching them. Henry and his girls.
