#Get Work Permit

So we had racism against Spanish people and now we have racism against the Dutch? These coloniser countries' drivers really have a lot of audacity.

I hear a lot about "time theft," but I always wonder if there's an equivalent concept for a company or corporation which lies about their employees receiving their due breaks

I stretch and strain with all my might Drift off into the velvety arms of the night Kick and claw and scratch and bite... Choked out, choked out, choked out!

Carmine and Drayton?!?! SITTING IN A TREE?!?!

Drayton looked down and sighed before clasping their joined hands together. “I…am really bad at talking about my feelings. I avoid them a lot, actually.” His gaze remained on their hands, and Carmine joined him in his viewing as he began to rub hers once more. “But…you make me happy. It doesn’t really matter what you say, or what you do. I’m just happy to be around you. No matter where we are or what we’re doing.”

Carmine’s heart skipped a beat as her stomach began to flutter with a new feeling. She almost wanted to pinch herself to make sure she was hearing him right - that this wasn’t a dream. It would even make more sense for him to burst out laughing, telling her that she had fallen for his elaborate prank. But he only leaned closer, gradually closing some of the distance between them.

She tilted her head to meet his face. “Are you…sure about that?” Her voice quietly trailed.

“Yeah…and I want to get to know more of you now, too…you’re not allowed to have a competitive advantage.”

Carmine kept her gaze on Drayton’s calmed, golden eyes that flickered as he came closer. “Well you owe me more information first.” She retorted. She mindlessly began to trace around Drayton’s hands - just as he did with her own - as the bridge of his nose was centimeters away from her face.

“I know some things,” Drayton admitted. “You like cutesy things, like shopping and exploring the city. You’re inherently…romantic at heart,” he breathed. “You’re driven, and naturally funny, and compassionate…and you’re so innocent and pure underneath everything. How could someone not…?”

Carmine froze in place as she closed her eyes. There was a stillness that the heat of the moment provided - one she half-consciously was too submerged in to fully grasp. It was slow, tender, and heedful as Drayton’s warmed forehead and nose bridge grazed on her. She felt the heat of his breath sync in motion with her own, and her lips parted in a reflexive anticipation.

“HEY DRAYTON?”

Carmine shuddered as she and Drayton broke away simultaneously, snapping her head to the loud knocks that followed on his door. To her horror, it was a voice she had recognized.

It was Kieran.

And WAIT. What was she even doing?!

Find out what happens next in the upcoming chapter of Bet You'll Fall in Love with Me, a shamelessly playful "will they, won't they" flirt/tsundere mintteashipping fic...

So I was hoping to release something this past weekend but an unexpected event occurred in my personal life. I'll be okay, but I'm gonna be more in a fluff-oriented writing mode this week because it's better for my headspace given what's happened. I'll be writing intermittently throughout the week and hope to get something out by this weekend.

The good news? The fuel for BYFILWM is here. 😎✌️So thank you to those who have been waiting. I know it's been a minute!

That being said, get prepared. This chapter will be...fun. 😈

harried community college professor davey and night class single father student jack. is that something.

[neixins]

as funny as i think it would be for hak and su-won to be sitting around the crest, head in hands because none of their ideas are working, only for yona to suddenly pop out with the dragons in tow like “hi guys i fixed everything :)” i do think the interpretation of hak and su-won as the sword and the shield is starting to hold more weight now, especially considering ik-su’s comment in ch 43 about how it’ll take a while for the sword and shield to appear (i.e. reconcile and be able to work together)

Aaand 9naa is doing it again.

Apparently the actors in Kiseki Chapter 2 had to film some of their intimate scenes fully naked and without previous intimacy coordination in that regard. It also seems like the crew jokingly offered to go naked too (because that makes things better /s) which suggests that again this was a pretty spontaneous decision.

The same thing already happened during the filming of Check Out and I now wonder if they pulled the same crap during Venus in the Sky (my only hope is that if they had, they wouldn't have kept quiet about it because apparently to them it's good promo 😒).

Funny how pretty much every other Thai BL production company manages to film beautiful intimate scenes without having the actors go completely naked...

Sébastie Jayde is the foundator of Pigeon Aéropostale, an upstart entreprise trying to establish the first postal airlines.

Sébastie is the mixed-race, illegitimate daughter of the pulp and paper baron Josse Quesqueraux, born of his affair with Adénie Jayde, his secretary. When it became obvious that Adénie was pregnant, Josse, unwilling to end the affair, moved her to the office of one of his mills in Urterre, where Sébastie was born. By Iscean law, when the genitor of the child can be found the putative father of an illegitimate child must provide support for that child. Initially, Josse did only that which he must do, but as Sébastie grew and Josse got to know her on his visite to Urterre, he became increasingly attached to his natural child. Eventually, he had Adénie and Sébastie moved back to Saint-Loegaire, where he enlisted Sébastie in the kind of private school where nobles and bourgeois who are not very rich send their children, and very rich ones send their bastards.

Sébastie grew with the benefits of a full education and her father's name as a boon and a burden, never fully part of the society in which she moved. As she grew older, she became increasingly interested in machinery: the great static ones like the ones at the mill where she grew up, but moreso the moving ones: the steamboats, the trains, these new motorized carts... The first time Sébastie saw a airplane, an ugly lumbering prototype at a technology fair to which her father had brought her, was a revelation of almost divine proportions.

With Judoc's financial support, Sébastie founded a workshop where she began to build her own stuttering, lumbering flying machines, amassing expertise and experience where she could find it. She would eventually earn her name when she became the first pilot to fly an aircraft across the straight seperating Iscea and Urterre. For her, this was the beginning of aeronautics as more than a hobby, and soon after, Pigeon Aéropostale was born.

Loving the return of the BNHA reactions - any further updates since vol 36?

yes, actually! so there has been a change of plans! here's the deal:

so as you're probably aware, after all of my fuffering two weeks ago about whether or not to skip ahead to the newest chapters, I decided to roll with the majority of people who advised me to keep plugging away at the old chapters first.

HOWEVER, I'm sad to report I only made it up to chapter 370 before I was waylaid by unforeseen circumstances. said circumstances being that my almost four-year-long streak of being Covid-free finally came to an end last week. 😭 it was good while it lasted. but yeah, that kind of took me out for a solid chunk of days. thankfully I'm feeling better now!

then a couple of days ago, I received an ask from a kind individual who informed me that there were in fact a lot of things happening right now in the manga which are very pertinent to my interests, and which I probably would want to experience and enjoy here in the moment alongside my fellow fans!

so after some consideration I took their advice and skipped ahead to read chapters 404, 405, and 406. and having now done so, I can say with certainty that it was the right call for me and I do not regret it whatsoever! because holy shit, these chapters are life.

so, long story short, I technically still have 33 chapters to go (which I will be resuming this weekend). but also, there's going to be a full-blown chapter 406 recap going up in like an hour or so from now lol. that's just how the dice fell. blame it on the coronavirus sapping away all of my remaining willpower. and Horikoshi for writing three back-to-back wish fulfillment chapters seemingly especially for me. what a generous man.

I think I'm gonna try learning how to drive again, but I'm very anxious about it

[starlightswordfight]

OH GOOD NEWS THOUGH. I GENUINELY DON'T REMEMBER IF I'VE SAID THIS ALREADY

there's an aquarium a short distance from where I live (not quick but WAY shorter than I thought it'd be) and it's open for volunteer positions >:] and there is an application just at the ready >:DDD

and I'm really really hoping I get it because not ONLY would the experience help me get hands on work I'd be missing otherwise bc of my online classes, but the hours are also relaxed enough that I could reasonably do it without straining myself to the point of Agony (which is why I'm doing an online program in the first place)
