Help My Friend Survive In A Refugee Camp

My friend Abdul is an African LGBTQ+ refugee who needs more help than I can give him to survive at his camp.

$6,000 seems like a lot, and it is, but he would really be grateful for anything. If you have $1 to spare he would absolutely appreciate that. this is not a circumstance where not reaching the goal means it was pointless. I don't get paid much because I'm a full time student but he always appreciates and needs what I can give him.

He needs everything you can spare.

If you can't use GoFundMe for any reason I also take donations through these other money transfer services.

Ko-fi: Nervesnebula, Cashapp: nervesN, and Venmo: @nervesnebbin

I'll try to update this post with how much I've raised through these apps at the end of every day. I'll also try to post updates I get from him tagged as #Abdulfund on this blog, if he has anything he wants to say. Thank you.

$492

raised via ko-fi, venmo, and cashapp

Moxie’s brief review of content creator subscription services and memberships

At the start of last year, I canceled all my big subscription services (Netflix, Hulu, etc) in favor of using that money to support more independent creators and smaller streaming services. After a year, here are my thoughts.

🤔 Smosh membership

I’m waiting to see if they offer additional perks for Bit City besides early access and Behind the Scenes members only videos. For now, I’m keeping my membership to feed my parasocial Ianthony needs. If they are NOT going to offer additional perks, I imagine they’ll end YT memberships at a certain point.

❌ Second Try

I had stopped watching a lot of Try Guys content before the Ned drama, but I was impressed by how they handled the controversy and I am rooting for them in general. I don’t think the Second Try app gives enough additional content to justify renewing my subscription, and the additional cast is very hit or miss for me. I can find my faves, Jonnycakes and Miles B. on their own channels so I’ll support them there. Also, there’s only so much of Keith eating mediocre food I can stand to watch.

❌ Mythical Society

You have to be a big Rhett & Link fan to enjoy this, or be invested in getting their exclusive merchandise. I’m neither, so didn’t renew.

❌ Watcher

I know they received a lot of backlash but they were my favorite Buzzfeed creator. I never remember to log in and I’ve decided not to renew. Unfortunately I think they’ll shut down within the next couple of years.

✅ Various Patreons of small content creators

This has consistently been my primary way of supporting small creators and in general, it’s been worth it. My favorite is Miles in Transit.

✅ Nebula

I like to have one stop for all my nerdy interests and long-form content. I’ve already renewed.

🤔 Shudder

I’m going to subscribe on a month by month basis; I love spooky content but sometimes don’t have the time to open the app for weeks.

Any creators or streaming services you think are worth it?

As many as I can write in 30 minutes let’s go!

Starting with a couple of asks about our post from yesterday.

Anonymous asked:

I'm guessing the bunny is because of Deuce's hometown event and the fox is because of Ace dealing with Fellow.

Yes and no! It’s one of the reasons, but these two also have pretty strong vibes of these animals, especially Ace. He is such a sly little fox pup sometimes lol

Anonymous asked:

That recent Ace/Deuce post had my mind absolutely working overtime with ideas.

But they all just kept coming back to the White Rabbit Fest, even when it didn't really fit a fox Ace kinda thing.

Anyway, besides that, I really love Ace/Deuce ship stuff, so seeing you do art of them is an absolute treat!

Thank you so much, Anon! <3 I am very happy that you like it!

They couldn’t allow Ace-the-fox to enter the rabbit arena lol poor foxy.

I really like this theme for these two. Should draw it again at some point…

Anonymous asked:

Hi! Have any of you considered posting fanfics (novels)? 👀 Love your work as always btw, take care

Hi, Anon! Thank you for your kind words :)

I am not really a writer, so I haven’t considered it. I love coming up with headcanons and I think I am pretty good with dialogues for our comics, but writing a proper story (even a very short one) is just way too difficult for me. I can’t even write these replies fast enough… so I’ll stick to what I do best and keep drawing <3 Out of the two of us, Katsu is the writer, but Katsu’s main focus right now is Nebula. To be completely honest, fanfics in general aren’t our cup of tea… (That being said, Katsu did write a couple of fanfics before, albeit not twst-related)

eh-nonnie-mouse asked:

Do you have a Cara account or is it only bluesky?

Only bluesky for now :(

It seems like Cara is mainly a portfolio app, which is good (especially if it’s AI free), but right now we don’t really see the point in posting there – it’s not for art of yaoi boys kissing, which is the majority of things I draw. Things could change of course, but right now we’re sticking to bsky.

unofficialwheatdog asked:

The the way you draw Fellow Honest

My husband

it makes him so much more handsome like I have to kiss him the second he's on screen

How dare you worsen my obsession/j

(jkjk I love your art and if it's ok with you, I very much want to save the fellow honest image just so I can stare at it for five hours pls and thank you)

I am so happy you like how he looks in my style!! Especially if it worsens your obsession lol

Of course, feel free to save it and look at it; enjoy your fluffy husband lol

blackbutlerfandomnerddomain asked:

FELLOW AND GIDEL ARE HERE!!! They look so good in your style!!

Thank you so much!

Anonymous asked:

Just saw your recent replies and IT MAKES ME SOOO HAPPY!

Let's GOOOOO fellow (heh) Top!Gidel x Bottom!Fellow likers!!!

And reading your replies about their ship! UGH👌👌👌 Ryu such good taste you have! Oh dear.. I love it all!

I am honestly (..heh) looking forward if you have more art of them specially the shippy ones 👀 I'll be on the lookout. Also thank you for the food! 🙏

Hehe I am happy you’re happy Anon!!

Thank you so much for being so excited, I hope we’ll post a lot of stuff with these two in the nearest future…! <3

Anonymous asked:

OOOOH I SAW MOBS BOSSES X FELLOW ADDED TO THE LIST.... I do rly like the idea of fellow & gidel, but mob bosses x fellow is soooo juicy for art and hcs...... thoughts? plans?? plz plz plz this is living in my head RENT FREE... 😍

Thank you so much, Anon!! <3

Well we do have a lot of sketches with Fellow and his bosses (nsfw ones)… and we do have an ask with hcs about them, so if everything goes well, you’ll get more juicy stuff soon. Let’s hope! 💪

FEBRUARY 2023 CROWDFUND: i wanted to avoid crowdfunding on here again but several things have happened since november. 1. i had to fly to the state my mom is in because her cancer has worsened. i was assisting with handling getting her moved out of her apartment as she is now in a care facility, all of this cost money 2. on january 20th i had a physical altercation with a family member resulting in me having to get a hotel room for 2 nights then fly back to the state i live in (the flight change was $400 which i can’t afford to have that lost) 3. my mental health physical disabilities are worsening due to stress and compounding trauma so i need to seek treatment($75 physical therapist copays + any possible copays for therapy and psych/meds) 4. i have not worked since january 20th (it is now february 2nd) because my job has to replace my work computer and the situation has not been handled efficiently so my next check will be almost nothing. i am quite honestly on my last resolve and have practically given up. i do not have much hope for my physical and mental recovery currently so i haven’t been saving the little money i have because it’s felt pointless. i am begging for help, because i don’t want to give up on myself. i believe i deserve better than what the world has given me. my c*sh app is $JSMNRN and the best option for donations under like $25. thank you for any help

like my work computer got delayed again an hour ago.. i have missed 9 consecutive shifts now. i get paid biweekly so my check will be literally abysmal. at the very least i’d like to raise $400 to replace what i had to spend on my flight change 2 weeks ago after i was punched in my fucking jaw, and had nowhere else to stay

A/N: It has been a hot while, but I am slowly working my way back into the writing scene. I missed writing these but unfortunately, Uni took priority but on the bright side, ya girl got her masters degree!

This one is more focused around Sam and Alpine's relationship.

Anyway, enjoy!

How Alpine Celebrates Mother's Day

Now, Alpine does not have the best relationship with her parents.

Why else would she have immediately gotten herself adopted by an ex-assassin? (or did she adopt him?)

So when she met Bucky, and he started doing little things for her and supporting her in a way a father would, she buckled.

she immediately started thinking of ways to celebrate father's day for him

But then when Sam entered the picture, Alpine had a moment of realisation at 2am whilst watching big foot documentaries

she had Bucky

strong, protective, grumpy old ass who would put himself between her and any threat that popped up in her shenanigans

and she had Sam

sassy, enthusiastic Sam who encouraged her shenanigans

she had a whole family dynamic going on and she was going to celebrate that

for the first time in her life, she had a family and she wanted to show them both how much she appreciated them letting her be in their lives

lets be honest, she didn't give them a choice

but she could still show her love for them

now she didn't know what days to celebrate each person, she just knew she wanted to give them each their own day

so one day (quite literally mother's day - Alpine lost track of time and procrastinated too long), Sam and Bucky are at the latter's apartment, just chilling having a guys night

catching Bucky up on all the movies he's missed

having a couple of beers

just two friends, relaxing, laughing, having a good time

peaceful

until Hurricane Alpine struck

She came barrelling in, bags in hand that she was trying and failing to hide

balloons floating behind her she she kept trying to pull down behind her back

hair an absolute wreck, out of breath and trying to play it off

"Oh hey i didn't know you'd both be here what a surprise"

"Alpine you made us download a collective calendar, you know damn well it's guys night"

"shut up you love that app"

she struggles to get a coin out of her pocket, cursing at the balloons hitting her in the face and dropping the bags

"Uh.. you need a hand there Al?"

"NO IT'S FINE"

punches the balloons into the hallway and turns with a wild smile

"Flip the coin"

Sam is scared

Bucky is confused and debating whether or not he should put a restraining order in

"why?"

"no reason"

"well there is a reason obviously"

"no, no reason"

"i think there is a reason, what are you going to do"

"why do you assume i'm up to something?"

"the last time you made us flip a coin with no context you sold Bucky's arm"

"Hey when a blue lady comes knocking on your door looking for a gift for her raccoon friend, you oblige"

"do you know how LONG it took for me to get my arm?!"

"you're being so dramatic you literally got it back a few days later"

"I didn't get it back, Shuri made me a new one."

"Even better"

"She keeps texting me warnings about raccoons"

"She's looking out for you"

Sam is loving this, he remembers the day he walked in on Bucky frantically looking for his arm whilst Alpine sat on his couch cry-laughing out of pure stress and enjoyment.

Though they were slightly concerned by the fact that a) Nebula came to Alpine to get the arm and b) Rocket now had cybernetically enhanced piece of Vibranium.

safe to say Alpine was in trouble for a while

"Can you just- will you flip the coin? I'm not going to sell any appendages or organs to otherworldly beings."

"When did you sell organs?"

".... What organs?"

With that knowledge, Sam and Bucky flipped the coin, Sam calling heads whilst it was in the air, with it landing on his call.

victorious, he grimaces and looks at Alpine

"You can't have my wings."

"I don't need 'em, you wait here. I will be back"

grins and runs out, half tripping over the forgotten balloons as she goes and running into her door in the process.

Bucky decides to pray for Sam whilst the latter looks at him nervously

"I should be worried, shouldn't I?"

Bucky sighs and shrugs, "It's Alpine."

it's silent for a little while, they can hear loud shuffling and curses coming from across the hall

"Yes, be worried"

Sam is debating whether or not to run now or just accept his fate

it's too late though, because Alpine comes rushing back over with a card, some flowers, the balloons that had been poorly hidden behind her back and a box of chocolates

both men are seriously confused, but Bucky is also slightly annoyed

sure, Sam wins a coin flip and gets flowers, Bucky wins a coin flip and get's his arm stolen

makes sense

"Happy mother's day Sammy!"

"What"

"OH MY GOD"

Bucky is no longer annoyed, laughing and grinning at Sam

Sam is confused

when did he become a mother

when did he sign up for this

"Al what-"

"I know, I know. But I never-.." she pauses, handing Sam his gifts before shuffling, Bucky stops laughing at this point because he knows when Alpine is about to dump some trauma

"I never had a good relationship with my family and it's mothers day today and I was like I could just celebrate you two on father's day but you've both helped and supported me in different ways and you don't deserve to share a holiday besides you'll just argue, so i thought this was a better way and-"

"AL!"

She huffs and glares at them both

how dare they interrupt her nervous ranting

didn't they know its the only way she could c o p e

Bucky grins at her, glancing at Sam as the latter stands and gives her a tight hug

Alpine is surprised, she genuinely thought Sam would be annoyed but hugs him back anyway

is kind of embarrassed and awkward

poor baby is not hugged often

but relaxes soon enough when she spots Bucky smiling at the pair on the couch

Sam's hand rubbing soothing circle on her back before they pull apart and he grins at her

"Thank you kid. Really. I'm- I'm happy you think of me as your family, you know I'll always be hear to support you."

"Aww thanks mama goose"

Bucky snorts

literally a few months ago this man thought Alpine was a cat

now look at them

Alpine is positively glowing

she literally could not contain herself and she goes back in for another hug, laughing as Sam begs her not to call him any type of nickname

"I'm serious, do not call me mum in public."

"Are falcon's motherly?"

"I regret so much"

"Aw man am I getting disowned already?"

"Yeah no, you've done it now. You're my kid forever now bitch"

"Sammy you can't call your kid a bitch"

"I can if its affectionate"

Sam is buzzing, despite now having to reject every mother bird pun Alpine makes, shaking his head at all of her new bird pun name suggestions

He didn't like to admit it, but he was always somewhat jealous

sure he was friends with Steve before, but it always felt like Steve and Bucky.. and Sam

and then with Alpine it was Bucky and Alpine... and Sam

but now he had Bucky

and he had Alpine

he had a family here in New York

and he loved them

would he admit that?

no, he would actually rather cease to exist once more

but he knew they knew

an unspoken bond between the three of them that all three would die protecting

as if they would ever let Alpine do that though, she cuts her finger just trying to slice an apple and he and Bucky go absolutely insane

but they make this an annual celebration, though Sam refuses to admit it is for mother's day

"I am not your mother"

"uh huh, okay"

tips for people new to astronomy or interested in getting into astronomy!

probably the best bang for your buck telescope to start out with would be a 6-inch dobsonian like the orion XT6. these kinds of telescopes are simple to use and affordable for their size, and are really great for visual observing. yes, there are smaller, cheaper telescopes out there, but you won't see as much and you'll probably want something bigger eventually

however! there's plenty you can see with just your eyeballs! the milky way, the moon, the constellations, meteors showers, the skies changing with the seasons. there's even a few deep sky objects you can see with the naked eye (particularly in darker skies), like the orion nebula, the andromeda galaxy, or the pleiades

you can also see if there are astronomy clubs or observatory open house events near you - these are good opportunities to see through telescopes without having to buy one yourself (and you might get to see through really good telescopes that probably cost as much as a car!)

planetary astrophotography is relatively straightforward and affordable. deep sky astrophotography is a complex beast that will beat your bank account within an inch of its life and leave it lying in a ditch

don't bother with "GoTo" features or "smart telescopes," at least not when starting out. it's more fun and rewarding (not to mention cheaper) to learn the night sky yourself. start by learning the more obvious constellations like orion or the big dipper (and how it's used to find the north star), and go from there. note how the stars change with the seasons, and learn what's in the sky at different times of the year. getting to know the night sky is super useful, enjoyable, and helps you feel a greater connection to the sky and the astronomical cycles that cause it to change

star map apps like stellarium or books like turn left at orion are really helpful for learning your way around the sky

if you have the means, going to a dark sky site is definitely worth it - but it's best on moonless nights. if the moon is more than about half-full, you won't see much more than you can from light polluted skies. if you want to find dark sky sites near you, you can try googling to see if there's any place known for dark skies, or you can use a light pollution map, find the darkest color within a reasonable distance from you, and use google maps or something to see if there are any parks or nature preserves in that area where you can park at night

your eyes need time to adjust to the dark. avoid bright lights. if you need to see, deep red lights won't disrupt your night vision

prepare for the weather (night gets cold!), and for the bugs in the summer

know what conditions affect observing. "seeing" is caused by atmospheric disturbances and makes it hard to see details in small objects like planets. "transparency" is a measure of how well light travels through the atmosphere, and it affects dim, large objects like galaxies and nebulae. cleardarksky.com has forecasts of conditions at different sites, including seeing and transparency, and is good to check before heading out to dark sky sites (it's also good for finding dark sky sites!)

observing is more than just looking at something, it's a skill that needs to be practiced to be perfected. take your time, keep coming back to the same objects, and you might see a little more than you saw before. try using averted vision for faint objects like nebulae or galaxies - instead of looking directly at the object, look a little off to the side (at, say, a random nearby star), and you might see a bit more detail in your peripheral vision. sketching what you see in a notebook can also help you notice more details

the moon is stunning! observe it through its phases and watch as different details emerge with the changing light. we have the landscape of another world easily visible in our sky, and that's a fact that should be appreciated! also it passes in front of planets sometimes and that's really fucking cool to see

planets are easy to find once you know what to look for. mercury, venus, jupiter, and mars all get brighter than the brightest star in the night sky, and they don't twinkle (as their larger apparent sizes make them less strongly affected by the atmospheric distrubances that cause stars to twinkle). they can be easily seen even in light polluted skies, and are beautiful through a telescope. keep coming back to them over time to see them change - jupiter's rotation and the movement of its moons can be seen in the span of a few hours, the phases of venus and the seasons and occasional global dust storms of mars can be seen over the months, and the tilt of saturn's rings changes over the decades

saturn's rings never get old. stare at them

always keep in mind the context of what you're looking at, and the immensity of it. be curious, read about the things you see, keep up with the science, find joy in the mysteries of the universe, and never stop looking up

It's been interesting watching the fallout of the Watcher TV announcement, in just how badly it has been received, in it's comparison to Dropout, and the current state of media and streaming.

While I don't think that Watcher TV was a good move for them, it's been a good experiment in how YouTube creators are supposed to grow. YouTuber channels trying to become their own platform has been tried a few times now, with Rooster Teeth, Geek and Sundry, and Dropout being the ones that come to mind. Rooster Teeth got bought by Warner Brothers Discovery, and Geek and Sundry was bought by Legendary Entertainment (along with Nerdist, for the Alpha platform). Both of those have gone through the ringer as their parent companies have decided they're bored and decided they're not making enough money.

Dropout is a weird outlier, and fingers crossed they continue strong.

So paywalling your content by creating a separate streaming platform has mixed results. Like most apps, part of success seems to be getting bought by a corporate media company that will bankroll you until they're bored.

There's Nebula, which seems like a good middle ground, I haven't heard any horror stories from creators there.

There's the patreon model, but you still have all the issues of the YouTube algorithm to put up with.

As much as YouTube has the reputation of democratising media, that anyone can publish their content to the platform (within content restrictions), the aspiring creators on the platform are starting to hit a ceiling of production value. Some have managed to pivot into old media by getting cast in movies, but the promise of getting to make something on par with old media, while retaining control of your content does seem to be more elusive.

I don't think anyone wants all their favourites YouTube creators to create their own individual streaming platforms. That's bad enough with the other streaming platforms. The dispersal of media behind a plethora of paywalls is a bigger and bigger hassle.

Paying for access to art and media has always existed, artists and creators should be compensated for their creations, however I think this is just part of the bigger whole, that our society is not set up to benefit people. If we lived in a world where we didn't have to fear starvation, lack of shelter, sickness, and a general lack of necessities, we would be more likely to share art freely.

This whole Watcher situation is unfortunately just another instance of Capitalism being a giant pile of shit.

[loveinstreams]

they probably saw the success of dropout and nebula and were like "eeeyyy we could do that too!" but like.... i'm a very casual watcher (ha!) of their content, but i'm fairly sure there's not nearly enough of it to even begin to resemble what these two other services are offering.

i really struggle to understand the motivation behind this tbh; is it greed? actual financial trouble? or do they have really ambitious projects that they want to have enough money for? But if it's the latter, why not just raise money via a fan campaign?

anyway, good luck to them i guess

I mean I do understand the motivations behind this. youtube is not great on many aspects for creators like them. other services like dropout shows us that it’s not impossible to leave but you still need a visibility on youtube and a way for the viewers who can’t pay for the service to have some access to it (even if limited). You also need to ease your audience into it and give them a little taste of what they can have if they pay, showcasing the change in quality. I don’t think their announcement strategy was good at all because it was very sudden and seemed to come out of nowhere for the viewers so of course people get angry. especially those who can’t afford to pay a subscription. I’ve also read that many international fans can’t have access to the app so that’s genuinely a bad move on that part.

My refugee friend Abdul got robbed

I've been managing a gofundme for Abdul Luyombya, he's a gay refugee currently in a south sudanese camp. I've been mostly able to help him on my own since I've started working at my part time job on campus again, but all his things have been stolen and I don't have the money to help replace it.

I've raised a couple hundred dollars over the course of a few months but keep in mind that this money is gone often as soon as i give it to him, because he needs to spend it on necessities and medicine. What I'm fundraising for is the ability to keep buying him food, shelter, and clothing until he's able to be resettled.

If you can't use GoFundMe for any reason I also take donations through these other money transfer services.

GO2 spoilers, keep going to avoid bc this is spoiler town now. Got so hugely long I crashed my tumblr app. Yikes.

So I get why Neil best thought they would have been better released as individual episodes now, because the last 15 minutes really do overwhelm the rest of the season. Cliffhangers often do. Next time I watch, I think I want to savor it more. Because:

- PRE FALL CROWLEY CRANKING UP A NEBULA LIKE HIS CAR. AZIRAPHALE HAVING A GIANT CRUSH. PRE FALL AZIRAPHALE HAD FEELINGS FIRST BABES HOW ARE YOU DOING

- they continue to be The Most Married. They have a freaking “I was wrong” dance. The bitchiness of their bickering. The ways they just know each other.

- CROWLEY’S CHEEKY SCOTTISH ACCENT IN THE RESURRECTIONIST ADVENTURE. IM SO EXCITED IT EXISTS IN CANON.

- Baldad the Shuhite, best midwife slash cobbler in the land, lover of shoemaking and obstetrics XDDDD

- Crowley’s absolutely badass venomous “I long to destroy the blameless children of Job” thing…right before the goats give him away.

- Maggie!! So precious!! And Aziraphale! Brushing off a good deed as selfish openly!

- Nina! Deserves a better partner!!!! And to move on from whatever made her believe she deserved to have someone treat her like that!!

- MIRANDA RICHARDSON AS SHAX. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED. WE ARE FILLED.

- so uh INEFFABLE BUREAUCRACY GIRLIES HOW WE FEELING???? Bc I’m feeling great, woke up with Buddy Holly in my head. I cannot believe the gift we were given and how pitch perfect it was for how the fans have written it for the past four years.

- Shelley Conn’s Beelzebub though!! What a stunning performance! What a costume change! What an absolute wealth of rotting teeth and great eyeliner! More flies indeed!!!

- the fly constantly buzzing around Jim was a huge clue but I hardly dared hope for it to be true tbh

- Aziraphale being morally grey all over this season, eh? And super touchy. Like. The dance scene was uncomfortable bc of the overwhelming of their free will to fit Aziraphale’s fantasy, which was another big piece of foreshadowing right there, but the amount of times Aziraphale touches Crowley this season. Unreal.

- “I thought you said it wasn’t lonely.” “I’m a demon. I lied.” KILL ME

- Aziraphale’s first reaction to food though. There’s that darling hedonist we love and enjoy.

- OF COURSE THATS HOW GABRIEL THINKS BIRTH WORKS OH MY HECK—

- hang on, did Crowley figure it out since the Flood, then? Good for him!

- NEIL. NEIL THERE ARE ZOMBIE NAZIS LOOSE IN THE WORLD NEIL. NEIL WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM NEIL. NEEEEEEIL.

- CROWLEY’S HANDS SHAKING DURING THE BULLET TRICK. THEM PULLING IT OFF WITHOUT MIRACLES. THE SLEIGHT OF HAND.

- AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY TOGETHER DOING ARCHANGEL LEVEL MIRACLES BC IT WORKS A LITTLE TOO WELL

- frankly, the whole miracle detection thing in heaven in the first place. Miracle detection truth girlies, how you feeling?

- Maggie being so brave against a bunch of demons and stumbling right into bravado and accidentally inviting them into the shop. Nina backing her up. The two of them holding off quite a lot of demons with just fire extinguishers and encyclopedias. And an active portal.

- THE HALO THING

- MURIEL BLESS THEIR SWEET COTTON SOCKS THEY DID SO MUCH AND DESERVE SO MUCH MORE CREDIT AND PRAISE FROM ALL CORNERS

- do you think Crowley drunkenly revealing to Jim that the attempted executions at the end of last season were due to them switching places is going to have consequences in the future? Bc I’m nervous about that.

- also hey Crowley being super protective and particularly vengeful towards Gabriel truthers HOW U DOING???

- listen there’s so much to talk about and discuss and dig into but I really want to take a moment to weep over how Crowley kissed Aziraphale goodbye. So desperately. So sadly. And how venomous Aziraphale’s follow up “I forgive you” lands like a slap at the end of this tumultuous argument. Never could have predicted it to go like that. I’m still reeling.

"40 MINUTES!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" She turned to glare at her sister. "I told you we were going the wrong way! You can't navigate for shit!"

"HEY! You were the one that said you didn't want to be responsible for directions. Don't blame me you ungrateful little bitch." She stopped herself from spouting more nasty words by whipping out her phone an opening up a driving service app. "Lucky for you I just got us a cab. But they won't get here for another ten minutes."

"So what? We just wait here now?"

"That's usually how it works, yeah." Glam's eyes flickered towards Flora, finally acknowledging her presence. Her eyes narrowed slightly "Let's just we weren't given wrong directions."

Nebulous (Chapter One)

Nagode entered his apartment, kicked off his shoes, and locked the front door. He knew 24-hour shifts at the warehouse were too much, but the overtime helped him ignore the aches across his body.

He couldn’t tell you what he did for those 24 hours. All he knew was what they listed in his job description. That was how it worked at Atlas. That was how the company had become one of the largest multinational conglomerates in the world. Working with the Nullifier turned your brain off so you could just get the job done, literally. It was the modus operandi for cheap labor. “Every day is a day off.” That had been one of Atlas’ slogans in the beginning. 

The pay was pretty bad, the workload was worse, and there was zero upward mobility, but he didn’t consciously experience any of it, plus the only prerequisite was being at least 22 years old. The Nullifier provided a sort of anesthesia that insulated him from his work. When he wore it, he was nothing. His position was not respected, but it was reliable. It was the one thing he felt certain he couldn’t fail.

Besides, the Nullifier was only temporary—a pitstop on his path to Minerva University.

He entered his bedroom, changed into sweats and a T-shirt, and sat at his desk. He brought up his banking app to check for the deposit. It was all he had to show for 144 hours of mindless maneuvering over the last two weeks; four half-day shifts one week, followed by four full-day shifts the next. The money was there. He switched to a different app and pulled up his debt from the psych ward visits, reminding himself that the deposit may as well have been nothing

He was trapped. There was nowhere to go. Going back to school was a lie he used to comfort himself from the truth of his failure. He’d never be able to pay the hospital back.

“Do it,” the voice whispered in his head.

Nagode thought about his family and days more than a decade past. When summer felt almost forever and fall was painfully slow. He’d give anything to go back, to get away from here. He thought about the look on his family’s faces at his funeral, each of their voices whispered in his head, begging him not to leave. He thought about everyone who would tell him to find another way.

“There is no other way,” he said.

The fear kicked in like it always did. His fear of suffering, of what would happen to everyone he left behind… but escape was almost tangible. He sat down on the floor and brought his knees to his chest, lowering his head. His fatigue came crashing in now that he was free from the judgment of others. Out there, he was constrained by others. Here, he could collapse under the weight of his world. 

“Surrender.” 

Nagode frowned, his head shot up. The voice was not in his mind anymore. 

A dark, humanoid figure towered above him, at least seven feet tall with glowing eyes. They lifted a hand toward him. Everything happened so fast. He didn’t even have time to scream. He felt his soul transcend his body, and then he was staring at himself from above. Objects around his crumpled form began floating in midair. A Rubik’s Cube sailed past his afro and his Legos were levitating. His bed frame hovered a few feet above the ground.  

Soon he was floating away from his body, he phased through the ceiling like it wasn’t even there. He kept going higher, rising above Ujamaatown until he could see all of Neptune City sprawled out beneath him. Planes streaked through the night sky. The sensation was strange. He could see, smell, and taste, but it felt like a lucid dream. Nothing could truly touch him. As he looked down at his current incorporeal form, he saw that he was as translucent as a hologram. 

He went higher still, soaring until he left the stratosphere. Stars flew past him as he approached light speed.

Then there was only the vacuum of space, freckled with nebulae. The void out in the distance before him was beautiful. The dark figure from his bedroom sprang forth out of nowhere, gliding toward him at incredible speed.

“Surrender,” the figure repeated when they reached him.

A moment later, Nagode was back in his bedroom. It was a constellation of chaos, all his belongings orbited around him in wild revolutions. He felt all of them, attracting and repelling the physical items with his mind. He stretched his hands, forcing his human form to come to him, and then he wrapped his hands around its throat.

Somewhere deep inside, he knew this was wrong. An anxious tension settled in the pit of his stomach. 

The suffocation brought Nagode back to his body in an instant, hovering in the middle of the room. His eyes flew open.

And then everything came crashing down.

He drank deep gulps of air in relief. He didn’t do anything else until his roommate, Jonah, came knocking at the door.

“Um, are you okay in there?” He asked.

“Sorry for waking you up, I’m fine,” Nagode lied as he opened his bedroom door. Jonah’s jaw slacked at the sight of his room.

“Are you sure? It looks like you fought off a home invader in there.” His eyes glanced over toward the mess.

“For real, I’m good. I—I just fell over.”

“Okay…” Jonah paused, letting it go. “Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, just know I’m here.”

Nagode thanked him, apologized again, and hurried to close the door so he could return to the bedlam behind him. The situation was so awful he almost wanted to laugh. He stared at his broken bed frame while he mulled over the night’s events. One thing was certain. That deposit would get put to good use pretty soon.

…

“Are you sure this reading is accurate?” Battalion asked.

“Of course,” Gadget said.

“It’s odd that psychic energy levels this high didn’t cause a physical disturbance. I don’t want to waste time on another failed investigation, we need to focus on the Gladiator. We’ve encountered lethal threats half this level and no one needed to hunt them down. They made their presence pretty clear—” 

“Regardless,” Gadget interjected. “The reading is accurate. Psychic energy spiked to unprecedented levels over here around midnight.”

While he spoke, he zoomed in on the satellite map of Neptune City until the screen focused on Ujamaatown. Battalion knew that Gadget never miscalculated, but the skepticism helped him feel as if he was preventing failure.

“Okay, I’m reporting this to the Director…” 

Battalion paused, standing in an empty stupor while another one of his clones spoke to the Director in a different part of the building. After a minute, he continued his conversation with Gadget.

“He says we need to narrow the source to a more specific location. I’m bringing Masquerade up to speed right now… She’ll be over there within the hour. Keep your drones in the area and stand by for further instruction.” Battalion headed out of the research center, moving urgently.

Gadget turned back to his monitor and grinned. 

“Finally,” he said to himself. “Something interesting.”
