If you've got a moment to help us out by writing, it helps to be specific. There's a lot of details in the links here, but in short
1 Reduction of the space from over 15,000m2 of space to about 6000m2, due to removal of internal levels and new back of house areas.
2 Loss of the carefully restored engine room, which was used to host the live steam engine display
2 Loss of the postmodern facade, a great example of a rapidly disappearing era of australian architecture.
4 Changing the Wran building from an open area to closed corridors, ruining the viewing area of the Boulton and Watt engine in the process.
A quick comment, clearly objecting, which falls along the same lines as what the expert criticism is saying really helps.
Hi.
I'm going to break my very strict format for once because I need your help. For the past 9 years, the irl human behind this blog has been involved in the effort to save a museum from incompetent and money hungry executives.
The museum is filled with precious objects, telling the story of the history of technology, and how it relates to art and society.
Many of these are objects are large, but delicate and have been in place for over 30 years.
No one within the museum's community trusts the CEO, who was appointed by a hostile former government, and prefers renting out museum spaces for business functions over educating the public.
In a few days, the museum is set to close down for renovations. Yet none of the staff or volunteers have been given any clear details about these plans. All we know is displays which have inspired generations will be torn down, likely never to be restored.
We have a petition asking the new government to step in and stop the closure:
If you could sign this, you'd be doing the human behind this blog a massive favour.
#aussies please take a moment to write in to that planning page above#you do have to make an account but its not that hard#on the space issue there are some complexities - 15000 is the governments own figure but documents at the time say up to 20000 was the area#used for display. The tricky part is the museum was designed so visitors would wander through and experience exhibits rather than having#separate circulation areas - so what to include in display area can be a grey area#but whatever way you count it it's being about halved#they say its to accommodate more big object displays but tbh most of the items in the ever changing displays were smaller#the collection is thousands large and was regularly swapped out in the museum's heyday anyway#another loss of space - mainly dedicated educational space comes from them duplicating the loading docks into the main museum rather than#improving the one in the storage next door - which we suspected was going to be sold off when these plans were first drawn up

the lake is for lovers.
â tyler owens x f!reader
premise: summer will always be your favorite, spending weeks at the lake house with the crew. drinking, good food, sneaking off with tyler, making love under the stars. what more could a girl ask for?
contents: unprotected p in v, dirty talk, praise, foreplay, coming inside, alcohol consumption, oral, weed mention, fluff, tylerâs favorite pet name is baby ok fight me, heâs also thick as hell | wc: 6k+
note: this fic started out as filth on a dock, which then turned into me making a getting d at the lake playlist, which only worsened my tyler brainrot and made me write these cluster of filthy blurbs.
There were many reasons for you to love summer.Â
Picnics under a favored willow tree, ice cream shops coming out with outlandish sugary concoctions that could take down even the most rambunctious five year old. The days are longer, filled with more laughs and bonfires. Fireworksâas if that had a designated season to be let off, Boone would take on anyone who thought differently.Â
Tornado season was over, which, depending on who you asked, was not a reason to love the overheated season.
But your favorite thing about summer was by far the weeks you and the crew spent at Dexâs lake house back in Arkansas. A lake house that had gone from his retirement home when he left a shitty corporate job to a summer sanctuary for the family he found doing what he truly loved.
So every summer, all of you loaded up Tylerâs truck, the van, and the motor home and headed to the private dwelling, where you would spend the rest of the summer swimming, napping on the dock, raiding Booneâs smoke stash, and finding the nearest field to stare up at the stars.Â
Or your favorite: drinking until Tyler wrangled you into the house and into bed before you and Dani took the boat out for a joy ride, or you and Lilly had another incident of lighting said boat on fire with a miss trajectory of a firework that Boone gets scolded at for bringing out when everyone was three sheets to the wind by your wrangler.
As if he didnât love it.
As if he had not convinced you all to jump into the lake naked one night.Â
âOh no,â The man himself shook his head. Placing his hand over yours, your fingers wrapped around the head of a bottle of tequila. The cart already filled with boxes of Miller and Budweiser.
âOh yes.â Your fingers wrapped together around the bottle, pulling it halfway off the shelf before he actually used force to stop youâthat force being lacing his fingers with yours and squeezing.
Moving his body so he was standing beside you, chest to chest. Your brows raise when you try to pull the bottle again, and he squeezes your fingers harder.
âTyler.âÂ
âBaby.âÂ
You roll your eyes, âBoone wants it.â
âYeah, Boone wants it!âÂ
You both canât help laughing as you hear the man himself yelling from three shelves away.Â
âLilly wants it too!âÂ
âDonât be a pussy,â Dani yells as if there arenât other people in the store with youâTyler leaning his head back with a sigh, his mouth pulled in a smile.Â
If the shop owner wasnât used to the group of you making a pit stop at the decently sizedârundownâoff the road liquor store several times during the summer; youâre sure he would have kicked half of you out.Â
âYeah,â you say, giving him that teasing smile, turning your head to the side. Walking your free fingers up his chest. âDonât be a pussy.â You whisper, looking up at him. His smile turns into a smirk as he leans down, his lips hovering above yours.Â
âThe last time yaâll had Tequila Boone got stuck on the roof.â He is completely serious, but he says it in that voice that makes you want to melt into his hands and do whatever he wants. That stern undertone that made you want to listen and rebelâeither outcome was always one you loved.Â
You nod. âTrue, but.â Your palm flattens against his chest, moving up until your fingers play with the baby hairs at the back of his neck. âIf I recall, you werenât complaining when you were fucking me sober that night. So, if anything, I think itâs a win for all of us.âÂ
âNot for Boone.â
âNot for Boone.â You both smile before pressing your lips together, Tylerâs hand guiding the bottle into the cart, trapping you between him in the cart when his arms wrap around your middle.Â
âGlad you could see it my way.â You bite your bottom lip, your stomach fluttering, as he gives you that sweet smirk when you grab the ball cap from his head and slip it on yours. Pulling out of his arms to walk down the aisle, ânow hurry up, so we can revisit memory lane.âÂ
âYes, maâam.âÂ
The first morning youâre there is when your worst hangovers occur.Â
The first night of drinking is always the hardest you do, as if the steam of working for months wrangling and chasing storms has finally been let out. Decompressed of the pressures of having to worry about live streaming and fixing something on Tyâs truck.
It was a blessing that the nearest neighbor was at least five minutes away, with Tylerâs perfectly curated playlist blaring from the speakers that lined the aforementioned truck. Boone being louder than the aforementioned music, Dani and Lilly hollering when one of them loses whatever competitive thing theyâre doing. Dex mixing up some concoction inside the house and insisting itâll help with the hangover, even though you all know it won't, but damn, does it taste good.Â
You and Tyler occupying yourselves around the fire, his hands on your hips, holding you close to him as you sway to the music. His lips at your neck, leaving small nips and kisses along your skin until you turn around to scowl at him. His hands slipping into the back pockets of your shorts.Â
âYouâre a bad dance partner.âÂ
âYouâre even worse.â His hand wraps around yours to press to the front of his jeans, where heâs hard and straining against them. âCanât focus on my moves when my girlâs causinâ such a distraction.â
You smile up at him, running your fingers along the outline of his dick. âPoor boy. Should your girl take you upstairs and fix this little problem?â
âLittle?â His brows raise, giving you a look that makes you laugh at the amusement on his face. âNow weâre definitely going upstairs.âÂ
Youâre laughing all the way up the stairs, Tyler grinning as he talks shit the entire way up, slapping your ass until it feels red and raw through your shorts.Â
And when he has you naked and pressed to the mattress, your ass in the air, thighs coated in your own slick from him, bringing you right to the precipice of your orgasm, only to keep taking it away until you started whining and he gripped your hips and flipped you over. Pulling your hips up, his teeth biting into your ass cheek.Â
The head of his cock runs through your folds, the wet noise that comes from him separating them to press at your entrance makes you whimper.Â
When he pushes in slow, too fucking slow, your fingers dig into the quilt. Your legs shaking, your body wanting to pull away from the intrusionâno matter how stretched out you already are from his fingers and tongue, the burn from the stretch of his cock never compares to it. Always stretches you out until you feel too full, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes.Â
Tyler presses a kiss at your tailbone, his cock almost fully inside of your fluttering pussy. âStill think itâs little, baby?â
And after youâre coated in sweat and your throat is hoarse and raw, your legs jelly, your pussy feeling swollen and dripping from the several orgasms Tyler fucked out of youâand the come he fucked into you; wrapping your legs around his hips so there was nowhere for either of you to go while he did so; your body is limp against his chest. His fingers running along your spine.Â
You feel completely spent and sedated, the liquor aiding in the job of lulling your body completely. But Tyler is all smiles and wide awakeâafter all these years together, you still have no idea what makes a tornado wrangler tired.Â
Heâs always raring to go, and itâs both hot and frustrating at the same time.Â
You groan when he moves your body gently off of his, making a quick trip downstairs. A glass of water in his hand seconds later, demanding you sit up and drink half, even through your protests. A hand rubbing at your back.Â
âGood girl,â he says, sweetly kissing your cheek and putting the glass on the nightstand. Heâll ask you if you want to shower because the both of you are covered in sweat and come and youâll only reply by pulling him back down in bed with your face pressed to his chest.Â
His chuckle shakes your cheek when he shuts the lamp off, pulls the quilt over your shoulders, and presses a kiss atop your head.Â
But best believe he pulls your ass into the shower when the sun rises. Your head pounding from the shots you and Lilly threw back and from the beers you drained. Tylerâs fingers are gentle as he washes your hair. Gentle as he washes your body. He presses a kiss on each of your shoulders when he washes your back.
That space between your legs still feeling swollen from last night's activities, but his fingers still find their way between them. His palm on the shower wall as he stands behind you and rubs your clit until youâre coming.Â
Teeth, lips, and tongue at the back of your neck coaching you through it, âthatâs my girl.â Heâll praise you like youâve just wrangled your own kind of storm. A storm he caused.Â
A storm that always helps your pounding headache just a little more than the eggs Dexter places on your plate when you make your way downstairs.Â
âI think Iâm goinâ sober for the restaâ the summer.â Boone groans between his palms. Palms that are stopping his drooping head from falling into his eggs.
âLillyâs making flaminâ peppers tonight.â Dani grins from the head of the table, chewing on a piece of bacon. It has the reaction you all expect, Boone picking up his head, perking up, and feigning excitement.Â
âReally?âÂ
You all laugh together, regardless of how much it hurts your temples.Â
âYouâre supposed to be soaking up the heat, not staring, Owens.âÂ
You squint from the sun as you turn your head to him, the two of you lying out on the dock. Letting the sun dry you off from your swim in the water. Something that should be relaxing.
But Tyler clearly distracted himself by staring at you.Â
âCanât I do both?â He grins, lying on his side, his head propped up by his hand.
âYouâre gonna have the worst farmer's tan.â
âWorth it for the view.â He kisses you, his finger and thumb lightly pinching your chin.Â
It doesnât take long for his kiss to progress from a sweet peck to something more as his tongue licks into your mouth. With the way his thumb circles your nipple through your swimsuit, his hand moves down your torso to the top of your bottoms, easily slipping past them.Â
âTyler,â you warn through a breath when his finger runs along your folds.Â
âWhat?â He smiles against your neck, âitâs just us.â
âDani and Dexter are literally out on the water.â
âTheyâre tryna catch dinner. Theyâre far gone.â The pad of his finger runs against your clit in a slow circle. Making you gasp, your hips chasing the touch.Â
âBoone,â you swallow. Try to be the level headed one here, âLilly.âÂ
âStore.â He says it simply. Teeth nipping at your ear, âlet me make my girl come.â His finger adds pressure to your clit, making you moan. âPlease,â he whispers against your ear.Â
And if this man made you a sane woman, youâd pull his hand away and make him take you inside. But sanity has no room around Tyler. Sanity didnât send you into a tornado with him. Didnât have you riding him in the front seat of his truck after afternoons of chasing, the adrenaline still pumping through your veins.
No, being in love with Tyler Owens causes sanity to fly out the window. Made you throw caution to the wind. Made you chase that high. Made you ride it.Â
Made you want and beg for more.
His love was soft and ever consuming. A gentleness that made up for the intensity of everything else. Itâs why it was so easy for you to put your life in his hands every single day you went out into the storm. Â
Thatâs why your legs bend and open for him, and why you let his fingers fuck you on the dock where you could easily get caught. His thumb rubbing your clit, your body burning, your pussy clenching and pulling his fingers in.Â
âDonât stop, baby, donât stop.â He grunts in your ear as your hips move, fucking yourself down on his fingers when your orgasm gets closer and closer until youâre coming and his hand is in your hair, pulling your mouth to his so he can swallow your loud moan. Can hold you through the euphoric high that has your body shivering even with the sun shining down on it.Â
His fingers slip from you wet and coated with your come. His eyes never leave yours when he brings his fingers to his lips and licks them clean before grinning, grabbing your jaw, and sharing the fruits of his labor.Â
âHey, lovebirds,â Lilly hollers as she slams the van door. âCome help us!âÂ
"Comin',â Tyler yells back, a smirk on his face as his eyes waggle at the double meaning.Â
âYouâre ridiculous.â You laugh, pushing at his chest as you stand and walk down the dock. Arms wrap around you, making you both waddle down the rest of the way. Tyler kissing your cheek. You can still feel his hardness against your assâhardness that was just grinding itself against your hip.Â
âI love you,â he says softly.Â
âMore?âÂ
âMore than anything.âÂ
You lean your head back against his shoulder, smiling. âInfinitely.âÂ
âUnbound.âÂ
When you two step off the last wood plank of the dock, you stop, both turning your heads to kiss each other. Your hand lifts to run your fingers through the back of his hair.Â
"Oh, donât worry, we got it, yaâll!â Lilly says sarcastically from the porch.Â
You smile against Tylerâs lips. âI love you. But let's go help before she refuses to share the good snacks with us.â
âDamn right, I will!â She yells as she shakes a box of said snacks in her arms.Â
Tyler laughs and presses one last kiss on your lips before he untangles himself from you and runs over to the van.Â
âAinât no way!â
âPick up the slack!â
âIâm doinâ my best here!âÂ
You and Tyler laugh as Dani and Boone argue as you both sink the white balls into their cups. Dani scowling as she downs her drink, and Boone raises his high with a frown as he does the same.Â
When Boone misses and Dani gets one in their next turn, the way they cheer and high five warms something inside of you instead. Brings joy to the already loose buzzing that thumps through your veins from how many sips youâve had tonight. Your cheeks are heated and hurting from all the laughing youâve been doing.Â
You grab the cup, ready to down its contents but Tyler puts his hand over the top, grabbing it from you and downing it in one gulp. Sending you a wink. Whispering in your ear when he leans over the table to put the now empty cup alongside the other ones, âI want to take you somewhere.âÂ
Itâs all the explanation you need as to why he doesnât want you too far gone. You hadnât seen him drink anything tonight besides the few cups Dani and Booneâmostly Daniâlanded their ball in.Â
Some nights, he doesnât drink at all.
Some nights he makes sure everyone goes to bed with something other than booze warming your stomachsâusually a frozen pizza he always burns at the bottom, or the infamous Ty Club Sandy, as Boone has deemed to call it. Filling you up until you are on the cusp of being sober and ready for your heads to hit your pillows.Â
Tyler took his appointed mother hen role even further for the rest of the night until the aforementioned heads hit your pillows.
Sitting in the caravan with Boone for hours until he exhausted himself from talking about new ideas for the channel and one of his favorite subjects: pyrophilia.Â
Or lounging on the couch and listening to Lilly and Dani talk about ways to make Kyro better, new elements to add for better views in the sky.Â
Dexter always passes out before anyone, filling his gut and waving goodnight before disappearing down the hall.
Tyler making his way up to your bedroom after everyone had gone off to bed. Cleaning himself up and crawling under the sheets with youâhaving sent you up to bed hours ago with a pat on your ass and plans to be ready for him when he got up there, knowing full well you would fall asleep before an hour even passed. Â
His arms wrap around you, pulling you closer to him, face pressed into the back of your neck. The two of you drifting off to sleep. You take it upon yourself to keep his plans of being ready for him when you wake him up with your mouth wrapped around his cock.Â
His hips pushing up into your mouth, languid and sporadic, until heâs fully woken up. His jaw tightens before falling open when he looks down at you and watches you circle your tongue around his tip.Â
âMorning,â youâll say with a smile and heâll groan softly. Matching your smile with a grin of his own, that look of lust and desire morphs his beautiful features into something needy.
Heâll try to speak, try to say something sweet or filthy, but the words never come out. Just heavy pants and his teeth swelling up his bottom lip as he watches youâas he throws his head back against the pillow and groans.
When you pull him out of your mouth and straddle his hips, you reach behind you to guide him through your wetness, keeping his eyes on yours the entire time. Mouth twitching when you slide down on him slowly. When your own eyes flutter closed from the burning stretch.Â
You ride him slowly, leaving marks along his neck and chest from your lips and nails digging into his skin when he tries to buck his hips upâfuck you harder. Set the pace that he craves so much when you are on top of him like this. A pace he adores, from how lost you become in pleasure, from your tits bouncing in his face, to how beautiful you look taking the reins.Â
But you stop your movements each time you feel his hips move. The look he gives you is pitiful and needy.
âFuck, baby.âÂ
You smile, lean down, and kiss his chin as you start to move your hips again, just as slowly. âIâm just tryna make up for last night.â
âYouâre killinâ me.âÂ
After the two of you have wiped the floor with Boone and Dani and theyâre demanding Lilly and Dex go against them next because they know theyâll actually win this time; Tyler grabs your hand and walks you to his truck, opening the door for you to climb inside.Â
âIs it safe for you to drive?â
âWould I put you in a situation where you werenât safe?â He grabs your hand and kisses the top of it.Â
You can always tell when heâs buzzed or drunk; his cheeks get flushed and his eyes squinting more than usual when he smiles or laughs. Heâs sober.Â
When you finally get to the spot, you turn to give Tyler a look. Heâs all smiles as he drives through a field of tall grass, turning the wheel to back up his truck the rest of the way before coming to a stop once you reach a clearing that seems like nothing but marsh land.Â
Until youâve stepped out of the truck and walked around the back. Your eyes light up when you see a pond a little bigger than an EF3 filling the rest of the field.Â
The moon and stars shine off the water, painting it in the darkest blue youâve ever seen. Water lilies float along the top, with pickerelweed and cattails lining the edges. The crickets and lightning bugs add to the ambience of it all.Â
âHow did you find this?â You ask as he helps you climb up into the bed of the truck, where a blanket and pillows are already laid down.Â
âDex told me about it.âÂ
âYou sapâs.â You say with a sweet smile, pulling him down to your lips.Â
Tyler only further proves the sap allegations when he pulls out two of your favorite bags of snacks. His back leaned against the pillows, you leaning against him, his arms around you as you shared the salty and sweet treats. Your hand reaching back to feed him as you look up at the stars.Â
âYouâre so beautiful,â Tyler whispers against your lips when the snacks are gone, fingers licked clean, kisses pressed to lips, the mood changing until youâre naked and under him and his hips are thrusting slowly between your thighs. âSo pretty,â he kisses you, runs his lips along your jaw, âperfect,â latch on the side of your neck, âmy girl.â His words attenuated by his thrusts.Â
His fingers are in your hair, at the back of your neck, and on your chest, playing with your nipples, squeezing a hand around them, and bringing his mouth to the pert bud. Teeth nipping at your collar bone, tongue licking between the space of your breasts, grunts against your ear. Fingers at your hip, against your clitâheâs everywhere. Consuming you. Pulling you apart, putting you together, slowly, gently, with a stroke, a touch, a kiss, a bite.Â
Fucking you like itâs the first time.Â
Fucking you like he has all the time in the world.Â
Like he wants you to feel his love with every thrust. Every praise in your ear.Â
Your fingers dig into his biceps, legs lifting and pressing against his sides, pushing him deeper inside you. Your breath heavy, your moans, sweet mewls, music to his ears.Â
âTyler,â you whimper against his shoulder.Â
His arms bracket around your head, thrusts picking up when he feels your pussy tighten around his cock. âI know, baby.â His words are breathed into your ear, heavy and weak, letting you know heâs just as close. âGonna come, you gonna take it like a good girl?â You nod, dig your nails into his back, reaching your peaks together.Â
Tyler stays on top of you even after your breaths have evened out. His thumb runs along your cheek as he looks down at you. His smile is soft and filled with love. It makes your stomach flutterâsomething that hasnât stopped since the day you met him.Â
When he finally does pull out, neither of you move to right yourselves or head back. He covers you with another blanket he pulls from somewhere behind you. Your head against his chest as you look up at the sky. Tylerâs fingers playing with yours. A peaceful silence passes between you for what feels like forever, basking in each other. Listening to the bugs and frogs around the pond.Â
âMarry me.âÂ
You chuckle softly, âyour come hasnât even dried inside me yet.â You joke. Donât think twice about it; it hadnât been the first time he had playfully asked you. Declared to the world that you would be his wife one day: in a tornado riding the high, saying he would make you his wife when you put your computer science degree to good use and ran better numbers than he could have come up with on his own. When you would have to travel home to visit family for a week and leave the crew behind, his arms squeezing you upon your return, saying the winds are dead, everything's dead when youâre not around, donât leave again, marry me.Â
So you donât chalk it up to anything but that until you feel something cold slip onto your finger. Tyler brings your hand up so the moon is shining down on it, a pretty diamond twinkling in the moonlight.Â
âMarry me.â
Your heart falling to the pit of your stomach as you rush to sit up. Your palm against your chest, your eyes wide, and staring down at your hand before whipping around to look at him. The smile on his face is to fucking die for.Â
âTyler.â
âBaby.âÂ
âAre you serious? Are you sure?âÂ
He laughs, reaches out for you, and pulls you into his lap. âIâve been sure since the day I saw you.â
âThatâs dramatic.âÂ
âAsk Boone,â he smiles. Stares down at the ring on your finger that you still have held up, âtold him five months into us datinâ that I had a ring picked out.â
You chew on your bottom lip, try to hold back the tears that pool in your eyes. âThatâs insane.âÂ
âIf you want somethinâ, you take it.âÂ
âYou already got me.â
âAnd I ainât ever letting go.â He grabs your hand, rubs his thumb against the ring on your finger. Looks at you with so much love that you think you could die from it and be just as happy as you are right now. âWill you marry me?âÂ
You donât think youâve ever wanted something more in your life.Â
âYes.â Â
âYes?â He asks as if heâs surprised, his smile and laugh filled with a childish joy and happiness. Like a child finally getting a gift he had always wished for.
âYes!âÂ
He grabs your face, kissing you. Kissing you until you are both laughing and itâs all teeth and someone's crying, and youâre not sure if itâs him or you or whoâs shaking or cheering.Â
âI love you,â he says. You can feel his heart pumping against the palm on his chest. His palms are hot against your tear stained cheeks. Thumb swiping loose droplets away.Â
âMore?âÂ
âMore than anything.âÂ
You canât even finish your little rhyme before kissing him again. Whispering that you love him back against his lips. This man was going to be your husband. This man who has completely taken over your life and swirled it upside down since the first day you saw him.Â
This man who has shown you a new world. Given you new meanings of life. Given you a love that puts storybooks to shame. Given you a family that will only grow if the two of you decide on it, but is already so perfect the way it is.Â
You couldnât imagine marrying anyone but Tyler Owens.Â
The next day, you obviously have to celebrate.Â
The entire crew cheered and rushed you when the two of you had come home, and Tyler lifted your hand to the sky like you just won something.Â
âYes!â
âThatâs what Iâm talkinâ bout!â
âThatâs ma boy!â
âBout time!â
Boone spins you, Lilly is already mapping out the perfect location for the nuptials, and Dani and Dex are hugging and clapping Tyler on the back.Â
So the next day is one big celebratory day.Â
Dex prepares a breakfast so large that you all groan and sprawl in the living room while watching movies you have all seen a dozen times, aiding in your hearty meal putting you to sleep.Â
A nice nap that has you all waking up more rested than before and spending the rest of the afternoon out on the water. Tyler and Dex grill the fish you caught when you come home.
Your legs in Tylerâs lap, all of you sedated and full, and laughing around the table afterwards until Boone comes through the screen door with two bottles in his hand: tequila and whiskey.Â
âOh no,â Lilly says, laughing against her hand.Â
âAbsolutely not.â
âYou never mix light and dark, cominâ Boone, you know this!â
"Guys, weâre celebratinâ,â Boone ignores everyoneâs protests and grabs the shot glasses he was keeping for safekeeping in his pockets, apparently. Filling them up with tequila when he asks the bride to be which she wants, a big smile on his face.Â
He slides yours and Tylerâs over to you, Tyler shaking his head with amusement written all over his face when you frown playfully and say, âHappy wife, happy life?âÂ
He sighs and pinches your legs, teasing, and grabs the shot glass. âIâm not helpinâ you off the roof this time.âÂ
Boone makes a face, and everyone clinks their glasses together, throwing back the liquor.
Itâs the first of many shots that has you hours later playing some kind of drinking game that you forget the rules of, which then leads into Boone and Tyler accusing you and Lilly of cheating. Which then leads to the four of you settling it by seeing who can shotgun a beer faster.Â
âYou got this!â Dani patâs Lilly on the shoulder like a fighter about to get into the cage.Â
Tyler smirks down at you, âyou sure âbout this, baby?âÂ
âDonât call me that. Youâre the enemy!â You put your hands on your hips and step up to him. Staring up at him in the most intimidating way you can, even though he could throw you over his shoulder easily in seconds. Your voice low enough for only him to hear you say, âwe both know Iâm really good with my mouth.âÂ
His teeth sink into his bottom lip. âWonât argue with you there.â His thumb comes up and runs against your jaw, âletâs make a bet, alright? You win, Iâll show you how good my mouth is, and if I win, you show me.âÂ
You smirk, âdeal.âÂ
Once the beers are handed out and the bottoms have been punctured, your thumb presses against the slit, and a glare shot over at Tyler. His grin never leaves his face, even when Dex and Dani yell go, and all of you are putting the bottoms of your beers in your mouths.Â
Your gaze locks on his the entire time. Your mouth almost slips when his hand comes up to hold your can to your mouth better, his fingers squeezing, making you swallow faster. Finish faster. You and Lilly cheering when you win.Â
A win that Tyler clearly aided in.Â
A win he was more than happy to give you.Â
And if you didnât love having his mouth on your pussy, you would probably fight harder against him letting you win. But itâs hard to be mad when later heâs between your thighs, fingers spreading your pussy to give him even more access to your throbbing clit.Â
Your hips guide his mouth where you want it, where you need it, and how you want his tongue to move against your clit. How you want his lips to suction against you. Tyler always listening to your body.Â
Your fingers are messing up his hair, âwhy did you let me win?âÂ
He smiles around your clit, âI think I won.â He bites your thigh before turning his attention back to the part of your body he is fucking his tongue against, eliciting whimpers and moans from your lungs. Your back arching up from the mattress.Â
Some nights are chiller than others.Â
Some nights, you give your livers a break and hangout around the fire for hours. Dex telling stories, Dani and Lilly rolling Booneâs stash into tight blunts they share amongst those who want it. Boone lying in the grass, listening intently to Dex. You sat in Tylerâs lap, his fingers running along your legs.Â
His fingers sometimes find the ring on yours, twisting it around. Making sure itâs still there. He smiles over at you and leans in for a kiss.Â
The night is filled with a lot more laughs when three out of the six of you are baked and bring out the sâmores kitâs Lilly bought for each of you.Â
âSix is a bit much.âÂ
âUh, have you seen the way Boone eats?âÂ
âSheâs got ya there.â Boone agrees as he tears into a burnt marshmallow on the stick in his hand.Â
Tyler roasts you one, holds the stick while you happily eat the melted sugar. âWant some?â You ask, his answer comes in the form of placing his mouth over yours and kissing you until your mouth parts and his tongue runs along your bottom lip and into your mouth.Â
âWhen you guys get married, will we see less of this?â
âMore probably.â
âLess. Theyâll have their own place by then.âÂ
âAh, what? We wonât all be shackinâ up together?â
âBoone, theyâll be married.â
âTheyâre basically married now!âÂ
You laugh against Tylerâs lips, âyaâll are losing your invites real fast.â He says turning towards them.Â
âWhat did I do?â Dex asks innocently around a marshmallow.Â
Some nights, it gets so hot that not even the cold from the lake can be whipped through the windows by the breeze. The trees still. The humidity heavy and sticky, making you wake up with sweat glistening on your skin.
The two fans blowing towards the bed useless.Â
âTyler.â You whine softly as you push his arm from your midsection. Canât stand to feel the warm heat of his chest pressing to your back, mixed with the humidity filling the room.Â
âBaby,â he says groggily. Putting his arm back around your waist and pulling you close again.
âYouâre going to give me heatstroke. How are you not dying?â You groan, freeing yourself from his grip long enough to remove your tank top and shorts before he grabs you again. More awake now than before.Â
âThe fans are goinâ,â he says softly into your neck.
âTheyâre useless.âÂ
He chuckles, âwant to go jump in the lake?â
âDonât tempt me.â
He hums, kisses your shoulder, doesnât care that your body is coated in a sheen of sweat as his lips move to your neck, his hand cupping your cheek. He turns your head back to his. âI can distract you,â he smirks. Hips moving against your ass, his dick hard.Â
âYouâll only make it worse,â you breathe when he bites the skin just below your ear.Â
âYa sure?â His other hand slips between the two of you, pushing your panties to the side and pulling himself from his briefs. âI donât gotta put it in, baby.â He positions his cock so itâs rubbing through your folds, his tip moving against your clit, making you moan into his mouth.Â
Ass pushing back against him, âI can make you forget all âbout the heat and focus on coming along, my cock.â When the slide of his cock becomes more slick from your pussy growing wetter, he grunts against your mouth. âSee, your body has already forgotten about it. It needs somethinâ else.â You whine, wrap your fingers around his wrist. Moan in his mouth, âwhatâs it need, baby?â The tip of his cock teases with the slightest pressure against your entrance, your body bracing, craving the stretch, only for him to take it again. âWhat do you need, baby?â
âYou,â you breathe. Look at him with hooded eyes, chin wobbling.Â
âSay it again,â he grunts.
âI need you, Tyler.â His mouth twitches when he slides inside of you, his eyes watching as your eyes close in ecstasy. Nails digging into his wrist from the stretch of his cock.Â
âItâs all yours,â he kisses you. Says your name when he lets out that shaky groan when heâs bottomed out. When your body shudders while trying to adjust. His voice a mumble against your skin when he asks you if youâre ready for him to move, if you can take it, if you want to take it, knows you can take it. Be a good girl, and take what you want, what you need; itâs yours.
Heâs yours.
Infinitely.Â
Unbound.
Always.
His.

I've been continuing my quest to draw 100 different characters, once a day every weekday and a couple weeks ago was like... "Girls and Mecha" week. And I tried each time to have like... a different take on the theme but would still have certain similar aesthetics. With the exception of the "school girl" the other machines were inspired more with industrial or construction machines.
So like... here's a power loader type mech. And a power armor type design. Then there was like... a mecha pilot but all she got was a roomba. Then there was the "pilot" and there was the girl that is actually the mech for a tiny robot. Was fun!
I had this whole lore where it was some corporation fighting some future union rebels on some space planet. Maybe I'll expand more on that someday.
EDIT: It occurs to me I should probably include the flavor text from when I tweeted these out. I'll put them in the same order as the images here:
"You know Kimmie, from the loading docks? Yeah she took to the Pile Bunker like a champ. You should see her tear open the corpo APCs."
2. "The off world colony workers repurposed the excavator suits into mobile armor frames. Corporate needs you to shut this down, now."
3. "The workers at the BIG PLANT found a little creative solution for taking their work with them while moving through and monitoring the factory floor. They've taken to personalizing their "Desk-bas" thinking of them like their own little mecha."
4. "The Cortex Walker, inspired by some particularly cruel science fiction, was Corporate's latest attempt to demoralize the rebel factions. While impractical from a mechanical perspective, the psychological impact of firing on captured allies could not be understated."
5. "My Best Friend is An Alien (and Unfortunately That's my Type!)"

Tiny BurstCube's Tremendous Travelogue
Meet BurstCube! This shoebox-sized satellite is designed to study the most powerful explosions in the cosmos, called gamma-ray bursts. It detects gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light.
BurstCube may be small, but it had a huge journey to get to space.
First, BurstCube was designed and built at NASAâs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Here you can see Julie Cox, an early career engineer, working on BurstCubeâs gamma-ray detecting instrument in the Small Satellite Lab at Goddard.
BurstCube is a type of spacecraft called a CubeSat. These tiny missions give early career engineers and scientists the chance to learn about mission development â as well as do cool science!
Then, after assembling the spacecraft, the BurstCube team took it on the road to conduct a bunch of tests to determine how it will operate in space. Here you can see another early career engineer, Kate Gasaway, working on BurstCube at NASAâs Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
She and other members of the team used a special facility there to map BurstCubeâs magnetic field. This will help them know where the instrument is pointing when itâs in space.
The next stop was back at Goddard, where the team put BurstCube in a vacuum chamber. You can see engineers Franklin Robinson, Elliot Schwartz, and Colton Cohill lowering the lid here. They changed the temperature inside so it was very hot and then very cold. This mimics the conditions BurstCube will experience in space as it orbits in and out of sunlight.
Then, up on a Goddard rooftop, the team â including early career engineer Justin Clavette â tested BurstCubeâs GPS. This so-called open-sky test helps ensure the team can locate the satellite once itâs in orbit.
The next big step in BurstCubeâs journey was a flight to Houston! The team packed it up in a special case and took it to the airport. Of course, BurstCube got the window seat!
Once in Texas, the BurstCube team joined their partners at Nanoracks (part of Voyager Space) to get their tiny spacecraft ready for launch. They loaded the satellite into a rectangular frame called a deployer, along with another small satellite called SNoOPI (Signals of Opportunity P-band Investigation). The deployer is used to push spacecraft into orbit from the International Space Station.
From Houston, BurstCube traveled to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, where it launched on SpaceXâs 30th commercial resupply servicing mission on March 21, 2024. BurstCube traveled to the station along with some other small satellites, science experiments, as well as a supply of fresh fruit and coffee for the astronauts.
A few days later, the mission docked at the space station, and the astronauts aboard began unloading all the supplies, including BurstCube!
And finally, on April 18, 2024, BurstCube was released into orbit. The team will spend a month getting the satellite ready to search the skies for gamma-ray bursts. Then finally, after a long journey, this tiny satellite can embark on its big mission!
BurstCube wouldnât be the spacecraft it is today without the input of many early career engineers and scientists. Are you interested in learning more about how you can participate in a mission like this one? There are opportunities for students in middle and high school as well as college!
Keep up on BurstCubeâs journey with NASA Universe on X and Facebook. And make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

Odd One Out: Chapter 1
A/N: Finally banged out the first chapter for this story based on this idea I came up with a little while ago. I hope y'all enjoy! I'll make a proper blurb at some point
Also I'm gonna be so fr, I've never done a tag list for a story before, so I'm just pulling this based on people from comments/tags who sounded like they wanted an update? If you want to be added or removed, just let me know :)
Tag List: @axolotlsdreams @seasonschange32 @tthevoic3s @kgonbeiden @coffehbeans
------------
With its multilevel Roman-inspired buildings and wide cobblestone paths, the Kingston Academy campus is practically a work of art in and of itself. The early morning air carries the scent of prestige and erudition along a crisp autumn breeze.
Eriel stands before the glimmering gates of the academy, building up the nerve to walk through. Heâs intimidated by the size of it all, though probably not for the same reason as most new students. Itâs less that heâs afraid of getting lost in such a large place, and more that heâs scared of accidentally crushing something beneath his feet.
As the first giant to attend Kingston, itâs obvious that the school was never designed with his kind in mind. Most of the three story buildings donât even reach the height of his shoulders. Even the monumental clocktower in the center of the courtyard just barely passes his 46 ft frame.Â
If Eriel really wanted to, he could probably jump right over the entrance gate in front of him. Not that he would ever do such a thing of course!! The thought alone of accidentally damaging something (or worse, someone!) is enough to send a wave of goosebumps down his spine.
Thankfully or unfortunately â Eriel is still trying to decide whether his enrollment here is a good or bad thing â the gilded gates part, at last inviting him onto the campus. There arenât many students out yet, which makes sense. Itâs barely past 7 AM on a Monday. Given the choice, Eriel wouldnât be up this early either. Even so, the giantâs eyes stay focused on the ground as he navigates to the gymnasium on the other side of campus.
Usually students receive their orientation packets inside the administration building, but given his impressive size, there are only a handful of buildings that Eriel can fit into at all. The gym doubles as an auditorium and a venue for special events. The high ceilings were probably originally meant for improved ventilation and added elegance, but now the only benefit Eriel cares about is that he can at least sit inside without feeling overly claustrophobic.
He enters the building through a modified loading dock door. While he still has to crouch to fit through, itâs much better than having to crawl on his hands and knees like the first time he visited the building for interviews and psychological evaluations. Now that was a humiliating experience. He had been poked and prodded, and asked the most demeaning questions. Eriel shoves those memories back into a mental box. He needs to stay focused on the present moment.
Once he reaches the main area of the gymnasium, Eriel is finally able to sit down properly. The sunlight from the windows warms his skin. While he may not feel hot and cold the way that humans do, it's a comforting sensation nevertheless. If he closes his eyes, he can almost pretend that heâs back in the forest with his family.
He misses them, despite it only being the first day. If the integration program goes well over the next year, maybe his little sister will be able to join as well. Sheâd probably learn much more easily in a school than from the limited knowledge that Eriel is able to share with her every so often. It was difficult enough to teach himself most of what he knows â his knowledge a hodgepodge of information from the occasional abandoned books that sometimes wound up in the forest.
He doubts that Lora will keep up with his studies while heâs away, but a big brother is allowed to hope, right?
Just the thought of the young girl falling asleep while poring over a human textbook is enough to make Eriel chuckle aloud.
âIâm glad to see you in bright spirits today,â a voice says, bringing Eriel back to the present moment.Â
Mr. Leeway, the head administrator and school guidance counselor, now stands on a walkway that wraps around the walls of the room. Eriel meets his gaze nervously, though less eye-to-eye and more eye-to-full-body. Thankfully with a giantâs enhanced vision, Eriel has no trouble with making out the details of the man before him.
âGood morning, sir,â Eriel greets in response, his back straightening as he now sits in a humanâs presence. âThank you again for allowing me to attend school here.â
The counselor waves a hand, brushing aside Erielâs politeness. âNo need to be so formal now,â Mr. Leeway responds kindly. âYouâve more than earned your spot here after all.â
Immediately, the giantâs shoulders drop. In retrospect, those were the words heâs been hoping to hear. The ones he needed most for today.
Heâs grateful that Mr. Leeway is so accepting of him. Hopefully the rest of the staff are as well. Eriel has yet to meet any of the professors at the academy. While itâs unrealistic to expect everyone to be this friendly, hopefully no one is too afraid or mean.Â
As Mr. Leeway patiently talks him through the school handbook, the dorm system, and the giant accommodations scattered across the campus, Eriel canât help but feel like maybe things will be okay.
âAny other questions?â the counselor asks, pausing long enough for Eriel to shake his head before continuing. âPerfect. Well in that case, Iâll let you get a head start towards your first class. Best of luck, kid.â
Eriel sits still until the human leaves before at last rising stiffly to exit the building.
đ đ đ đ đ đ đ đ đ đ đ
The campus is much livelier now than it was less than an hour ago. Students walk in small groups to different destinations â some dressed in uniform and heading to classes, while other folks are still in pajamas, clearly in search of their first meal.
Eriel is one of the less fortunate folks, his first class starting at 9 AM. Heâs always been a bit of an early riser, as most giants tend to be, but part of him wishes that he opted for a schedule with a later start time. Heâd appreciate a bit more time before having to face his new peers.
Mr. Leeway assured him that all the students received a special training and information session on interacting with giants. In theory, everyone should be prepared for this transition. And yet, as Eriel rises to a standing position, stretching slightly to relieve his back of some of its stiffness, itâs as if the whole world holds its breath.
Everyone stops whatever theyâre doing once Eriel reaches his full height. The slight crack of his joints resounds throughout the quiet air, unintentionally drawing even more attention to the giant.Â
The poor students closest to him quickly back away, and one especially frightened soul even faints. Eriel winces at that. The reception makes sense, and honestly, it could be a lot worse.
Slowly, the giant takes a step, just a small one in the direction of his class. Immediately, a group of nearby students begins to run away, despite the ample space Eriel makes sure to leave between himself and any humans. The giant sighs but continues on his way. What else can he do?
It takes only a couple of minutes for Eriel to cross the campus to his destination. The English building stands before him, just barely reaching his chest. Thereâs no chance that Eriel is going to be able to squeeze into the building itself, much less one of the classrooms inside. For pretty much all of his classes, heâll have to sit outside and listen in through the windows.Â
Eriel follows the instructions in his handbook packet to find the window for his first class. A large awning has been set up along that side of the building â big enough for Eriel to be able to sit beneath for protection from the weather. Heâs used to sitting outside for prolonged periods of time, but he appreciates the cover anyways. It will certainly help to keep his notes neat at least.
With the few minutes he has before class begins, Eriel puts down his backpack and digs out his notebook and pencil. The set was a gift from his mom â the pages were re-usable and the pencil was designed to provide more or less endless writing. Once he settles down in his dorm, heâll be able to type everything up on the computer that the school provided him with, but this combination is much more efficient for carrying between classes.
Intro to English Literature, Eriel writes on the first page, taking his time in making the headline look pretty. It gives him an excuse to keep his head down and avoid the watchful gaze of the other students around him.
Itâs only when the bell rings that he at last looks up, positioning his face so he can clearly see the blackboard through the window.
âGood morning, class,â the professor says as she enters the room. Her brown hair is done up in a bun and a pair of quirky glasses accentuate her wide grin. Her smile falters as her eyes meet Erielâs, but props to her for managing to keep up the expression at all. The same canât be said for the other ten or so students sitting in the classroom, who look back at him with expressions ranging from fear to disgust to cold interest.
âIâm Professor Dockerty,â the teacher continues, her introduction regaining the attention of most of the students. One boy is a bit slower to turn away, his blue gaze unabashedly staring right at Eriel. And then, the boy â Ashton, based on his response as Professor Dockerty takes attendance â smiles at him.
Okay, itâs more of a smirk, but even thatâs better than the other looks.
âDid I miss anyone?â the professor asks.
Eriel gulps but shyly raises a hand, limbs tense and heart pounding as he draws additional attention to himself. A few of the students flinch as his fingers come into view of the window, and upon seeing that reaction, Eriel immediately puts his hand back down. Hot shame rises in his chest and his cheeks burn as he realizes the fear that a simple one of his actions could cause.
âI donât think I heard my name, maâam,â the giant all but whispers, desperately wishing for this moment to be over already.
Professor Dockerty laughs nervously, glancing down at her papers again. âOh my, I must have missed it. Eriel, correct? Our giant student? Great! Well, if that's everyone then letâs start by going over the syllabus.â
Eriel doesnât get a chance to say anything throughout her ramble, but the professor is already handing out paper packets to the students.. There are just enough for everyone in the room. Eriel doesnât even bother asking if there are any extras for him.

âCOLAâ B.C. PT.2
âWish you wanted it a little bit. More, but itâs a chore for you to giveâŚâ
Synopsis: Having a crush on her best friendâs older brother was a secret Y/n L/n had managed to hide for years. She presumed those feelings had disappeared over time, but when Chrisâor rather, Chan, as heâs called by the rest of the worldâmakes a surprise visit to Australia to spend his last break of the year with his family, Y/N is bewildered to find that she, in fact, is still infatuated with her best friend's brother. Unbeknownst to her, Chan is already well aware of it and isnât above taking advantage of her innocent crush on him. All fun and games, right?
WARNINGS: [MDNI! 18+] pining, fluff, smut, a bit of angst, cursing, smoking, and alcohol use. oh and the DDGL dynamic is impliedâŚ
A/N: Letâs hope I donât scrap this and at least finish writing itâŚalso Chan is his current age 25 and the reader is 18+
âââââââââââââââââââââ
âââââââââââââââââââââ
People.
She hated so many people around her but had no other place to go.
Airports always irked Y/n. Maybe it was because sheâd been to so many in her childhood, forced to behave like an adult in the presence of a crowd all the time, and always afraid of losing her parents when they were there. Which was rare to say the least.
The repulsion and discomfort never really left her system when it came to large crowds. Even at the ripe age of 19 Y/n would rather walk all the way to the Bang residence then deal with constant bustling of an airport.
Unfortunately, walking to her destination would be miserably hot in the Australian weather so she was stuck with waiting for her planes boarding announcement to be made all alone. Thankfully, sheâd arrived at a decent time and since it was a continental flight it wouldnât be long before said announcement would be made.
She occupied herself with a book, earbuds tucked securely in her ears, and her favorite boba drink nestled between her thighs as she read to pass the time. Y/nâs eyes scanned every word on the worn pages of her book, soaking in every detail it could give even though sheâd read twice before, but an enticing dark romance novel tends to keep her attention better than anything else.
She delights in the fantasy thatâs described in its pages. Where the plot is lack, steamy and disgustingly lustful filler scenes are written, and when a major event does take place it dwarfs in comparison to the impact of headlines the next smutty paragraph brings.
Dark romances are her escape in some way, an acceptable binge sheâs allowed herself to indulge in. Itâs not a dirty secret or a guilty pleasure for her to read them but rather a way for her mind to envision less then pure fantasies of her design.
Each one of them involves Chan is some way.
Sheâll never admit it to anyone, nor dare to say a word alluding to her desires, but itâs hard to put down a book that helps you satiate a hunger you canât manage right?
Whatever the answer is, Y/n continues to bury herself in the images described in the pages she scans, and if anyone who knew her had walked by they wouldâve recognized the tale tell blush starting to coat her cheeks. A sure sign she was either flustered or perpetually turned on.
Luckily, no one around her noticed the tinge to her cheeks, and so she was left to enjoy her book in peace for the time being. Thirty minutes and a couple of sips from her drink later Y/n heard the announcement that informed passengers it was time to board. â
Flight C18 to Sydney, Australia is now boarding. Passengers please make your way to gate 3 and loading dock 3A.â
Y/n nearly jumped out of her skin as the announcement echoed around the waiting area. Her heart thumped in her ears as people around her started to make her way to the designated gate. She clutched her book close as a few strangers briskly walked past her. For some reason or another she assumed theyâd judge her if they saw what sheâd been reading.
A ridiculous fear, but a fear she favored anyway.
With a few swift movements Y/n packed her book away into her carry on bag and finished off her drink before gathering her bags and phone. She double checked if sheâd grabbed everything before making her way to Gate 3 but stopped when the subtle echos of cheering sounded from somewhere in the airport.
âWonder whatâs that all aboutâŚâ a man asked another as they walked past her.
Y/n had the same question and looked around to pinpoint where the shouting was coming from. When she pinpointed the oncoming noise she rose to her tip toes to see who the crowd was bombarding all of a sudden.
Her investigation was cut short though when a woman tapped her shoulder. âAre you line for the ticket check miss?,â she asked and Y/n nodded sheepishly before responding, âI am, sorry I got a bitâŚdistracted.â
The older woman only nodded in understanding, following behind Y/n as she walked up to the gate assistant and handed them her ticket to check. âMust be some sort of celebrity with how much racket those people are makingâŚâ the woman scoffed under her breath and Y/n stifled a giggle at how annoyed she sounded.
âMaybe,â she mumbled to herself, taking one last glance back at the moving crowd heading towards the gate before going to board the plane.
By the time Y/n had officially steeped onto the plane she could hear the shouts of excitement roaring where sheâd been standing only moments ago. She didnât bother to look back, deeming it impossible to get any clue to whatâs going from staring again, and opted to find her seat. Which was in Business Class as per usual.
One of the few perks she was happy to have due to traveling so much with her parents when she was younger. Less people were crowded together in Business Class and she sometimes ran into interesting or famous people too.
That was if they were seated next to her and as of right now she hoped no one would be. Sleep and read was her only objectives during this short flight and being next to someone might force her to be social at some point.
Y/n found her designated spot, sat down, got comfortable, and placed her carry on in the seat next to her. The cabin was still fairly empty and so she assumed it would stay that way. All there was left to do was wait for take off which the pilot announced would be in a matter of minutes.
She took the opportunity to text Hannah before putting her phone on airplane mode for the flight.
<< Boarded and about to lift off Han! đ
>> yay finallyyyyy
>> canât wait to see you. Mom and dad keep asking how long itâll take you to land lol.
<< thatâs sweet of them :) tell them Iâm excited to see them after so long btw!
>> what about me??!? :(
<< Han youâre so dramaticâŚ
<< of course Iâm excited to see you too dummy..
Y/n smiled at her phone as she hit send, finding it cute how clingy Hannah could be, but her happiness was cut short as someone came to stand beside the seat her bag was placed in.
âUhm, sorry but I think thatâs my seat..â
Her heart fell to her stomach and if it werenât for the cushioned seat underneath her she wouldâve fell straight through the floor of the plane out of shock.
Her cheeks flushed pink and she gulped softly as the familiar voice spoke up again.
âMiss, sorry, but this is my se-â Chan immediately cut himself short as the girl in front of him lifted her head to look up at him.
His mask hid most of his shocked expression when their eyes met but Y/n could still see the recognition in his chocolate brown eyes.
She didnât know what to say, how to say it, or even how to react to seeing the one person -the one man- sheâd hoped not see.
This canât be fucking happeningâŚ., she thought watching his eyes crease into crescent moons from the smile forming behind his mask.
âLong time no see, princess,â he greeted her in plain English, accent clearly coming through as he called her the same nickname heâd given her the last time they met.
Hearing it, hearing him call her that again, and just being face to face with him had her chest feeling light and her mouth running dry.
She hadnât moved or stopped staring at him since their eyes met and Chan was slightly worried heâd startled her into a permanent stupor, but then she blinked slowly and timidly spoke back to him. âH-hi Chris..âshe inwardly panicked hearing herself stutter and fought the urge to bite her lip in embarrassment. Heâd know she was incredibly flustered then and whether thatâd make the situation more awkward or not was the least of her concerns now.
Chan laughed softly when she addressed him as Chris. Even after years of knowing him sheâd refused to call him anything else. Every once in a while sheâd slip and call him âChannieâ but that was rare. He didnât hold it against her though, moving her bag, and sitting himself down next to her instead. Y/n instinctively flinched form his sudden close proximity and avoided looking at him as he got comfortable next to her.
She was almost certain he could hear heartbeat thudding like rolling thunder in her chest and she prayed to god her face wasnât ten shades of red.
It definitely was.
Chan didnât point that out though, choosing to enjoy her flustered state rather than teasing her further.
*buzz buzz*
Her phone vibrated on the floor, laying right next to her feet, and it caught Chanâs attention.
She froze, wondering when she dropped the device and how she failed to notice, but snapped out of her thoughts when Chan spoke.
âLet me get that for you.â
He reached down before she could react, picking up the device and placing it back in her lap. Y/n felt her skin grow hot as he gently returned her phone, his hand grazed over her thighs as he withdrew and it felt like heâd shot electricity through her from the subtle touch. It was an accident, she reminded herself as he leaned back into his seat again.
A pure, one time, accident. Thatâs all.
She shifted her legs, unconsciously pressing her thighs together as a ripple of warmth coursed through her core, and she cursed herself for wearing a shorter skirt than usual.
âThanks,â Y/n whispered to him, not fully composed yet, and still trying to act normal around him.
Finding her footing felt impossible the longer he sat near her though.
Chan removed his mask, flashing her a kind smile, âYouâre welcome. I did sort of scare you, so itâs the least I can do, Princess.â He nudged her shoulder with his and Y/n forced herself to smile despite wanting to scream from the feeling of his muscular arm against her.
This was going to be the longest 5 hour flight of her lifeâŚ.
And he was going to enjoy every last second.
*********
Soon, the plane was off the ground and headed to Sydney but Y/n was still trying to maintain her demeanor towards Chan.
She was failing miserably.
During take off all she could do was stare out the window and try to breathe like her life depended on it.
Ascent and descent on aircraft was her worst enemy and Chan only had to take one glance at her to notice how pale she got as her manicured nails dug into the lush leather of her seat.
He wasnât the type to not help someone in need or at least a girl who hated ascending turbulence on a plane. So, he reached over, gently resting a hand on her leg, massaging the expanse of her thigh as a gesture of comfort.
At first Y/n was board stiff under his touch, quite literally considering hurling herself out of the plane the second she felt his firm and warm menstruations on her thigh.
Ever so slightly she started to unwind, welcoming the steady pace of his hand running up and down her skin. She let out a sound, somewhere between a sigh and a whimper -Chan couldnât tell but it made his head spin a little hearing it.
She was so cute.
Still the same pure girl he remembered.
He watched her expression transform from anxiousness to relief as the plane leveled out. She lifted her head off the window, glancing at him with a look of gratitude on her face, and he bit back a smile at the docile action.
âFeelin better?,â he inquired just loud enough for her to hear and she nodded, eyes fixed on his hand that was still on her thigh. Heâd stopped stroking it when she sat up right but had yet to withdraw his hand completely.
Y/n swallowed thickly as her mind delved into what would happen if he just slid his hand a little higher up her skirt. ButâŚ.his hands felt and looked so perfect on her thigh and she could see every vein in them too.
What would it feel like to have them wrapped around her throat, or better yet, clasped over her mouth while he fucks her-
She bit her tongue hard as self inflicted punishment for imaging such inappropriate things but it was proving difficult for her to not let him do it.
Heâs your best friends older brotherâŚsnap out of it, she scolded herself for what felt like the 50th time since Chanâs surprise appearanceâŚ
She took a breath, peeling her doe eyes away from where his hand was and looked him dead in the eye. With the little confidence she had left she answered his question assertively, âYes, Iâm fine now. Thank you forâŚcomforting me.â A shy smile graced her lips and Chan hummed in approval, satisfied with her response, and finally willing to retract his hold on her.
âGoodâŚIâm glad I could helpâŚâ he held her gaze, voice uncharacteristically low, and his dark chocolate eyes sharpening on her when she looked away from him.
Y/n had to fully cross her legs at this point, needing pressure on her mound in someway or another. She masked the action as an effort to fix her skirt and then lowered it as if she were some proper lady of a royal family.
Chan didnât comment, smirking to himself at her innocent attempt to be modest. Heâd seen and slept with enough women in his time as an idol to know the signs.
She couldnât hide anything from even if she tried.
Y/n, on the other hand, couldnât stop fidgeting, every now and then squirming in her seat as if to get comfortable. She wasnât obnoxious about it, more naive of her arousal is what Chan called it, and he found it increasingly adorable as the flight went on. If he so much as stared at her for too long sheâd squirm like an ant under a magnifying glass. Chan could only imagine howâd she react to him touching her intimately.
That thought alone gave him a hard on.
He controlled himself well though, not letting on how he felt was a skill heâd mastered after years of practice.
Eventually, they made small talk at some points of their trip. She asked why he was in Australia despite his supposed âbusy scheduleâ and he told her the truth.
âI wanted to surprise my family. Since I didnât get to see them on my break earlier this year Iâm making that up with this trip.â
Y/n smiled, forgetting the heat persistently pooling between her thighs, and finding it endearing how much Chan valued time with his family.
âThatâs sweet of you ChrisâŚâ she chirped with a beaming smile.
He nodded, âIâm guessing youâll be staying with us again for the holidays?â
Y/n hummed in agreement, âHannah wouldnât let me say no.â She giggled softly and Chan laughed lightly at the mention of his sister.
âYeah, she was pretty ticked you didnât come last year..â
His face shifted from joyous to slightly reprimanding, âI was too..â
She bit her lip as he stared at her, âIâŚI got really busyâŚâ
That was a lie. A lie that Chan didnât believe for a second .
Y/n glanced into his eyes but regretted it seeing the stern haze in them. He knew she was lying and he hated being lied too. That was a fact sheâd discovered while watching him and his members on some reality show a long time ago. She also knew it from Hannah herself. He mentioned his hatred of lying many times in many coded ways in his weekly âChan Roomâsâ as well.
Of course he saw right through her but at least sheâd attempted to cover up her faults from last year.
Y/n did not want divulge her true reasons for ditching her plans with the Bang family but she knew his next words would be, âDonât lie to meâŚâ and at that point sheâd have to tell him.
Sheâd have to tell him he was the primary reason she chose to cancel.
It wasnât something she wanted to reveal, ever, so before Chan could interrogate her Y/n stood from her seat and excused herself to the restroom. âIâll be right back.,â she chirped with a false sense of calm
However, this meant sheâd have to shuffle past him to some degree. Not ideal, but necessary if she wanted to escape his questioning.
Chan raised a brow at her. Letting her squeeze past him and into the aisle. Her skirt rode up a bit as she did so, giving him a split second glance at what she wore underneath, and that gained her an instance of much needed distraction on his part.
Pink lace, I knew itâŚ, he thought.
Y/n hurriedly smoothed her skirt back to normal, trying very hard to ignore his lingering gaze as she scurried off to the restroom. Her head was spinning the whole ten foot walk there and it felt like the air was swallowing her whole until she shut herself in the semi-clustered bathroom.
âFuck, fuck, fuckâŚâ she whispered as her nerves blazed and her mind raced to come up with a plausible excuse to answer Chanâs oncoming questions. Nothing seemed to be sufficient. Every excuse she thought of heâd probably disprove or see though. It was impossible.
The throbbing in her core was no help either, it intensified every time she thought about him, and at this point she couldnât think straight at all.
âGod, I canât do thisâŚâ she whined in defeat, going to the sink for cold water to dab on her neck for some sort of relief. The shitty attempt at control helped for milliseconds before the feeling of Chanâs hand running up and down her thigh had her body shivering again.
A quiet moan escaped her throat and Y/n dabbed more cold water on her neck to relieve the tension she desperately needed to release.
âPull it together,â she scolded herself, glaring at her reflection, and attempting to find any flaws that might be there. If she walked out of this bathroom worse than she came in Chan might out her completely.
He already had, years ago, but he wasnât about to tell her that.
Still, that just wasnât an option sheâd like to choose right now and so after a few minutes of steady breathing paired with a silent moment to think Y/n felt composed enough to exit her seclusion.
She opened the door, expecting to walk right out with no problems, but there stood Chan already peering down at her.
A very heavy silence passed between them.
Y/n managed to hold his gaze despite her heart rate accelerating. On the other hand, Chan wasnât sure why heâd followed her. At first he chalked it up to a sort of proactive protectiveness.
She was his little sisters best friend after all and any stranger could try to harm her. Heâd do the same for any other friendâŚright? WrongâŚ
Another lie.
An invisible little truth he told himself was valid to justify his urge to watch over her.
The truth was he had less than pure intent to guard her and more interest in helping her solve a problem she clearly wanted to hide from him.
âSorry, do you need to?âŚâ she politely shifted away from the entrance, allowing him the opportunity to pass by her if he needed to, but he didnât move a muscleâŚ
Y/n swallowed thickly as familiar sparks ran up her spine the longer he held eye contact with her.
âYou okay Chris?..â she sounded concerned, successfully masking her real reaction to his unwavering gaze.
Her voice snapped him out of whatever trance heâd been in and he returned to his normally friendly disposition.
âYeah, Iâm fine, Princess. You were just gone for a while and I thought something might be wrong.â He laughed softly, as if to throw her off with the sound so she wouldnât think too hard on what heâd said, but Y/n held onto his every word.
Heâd followed her, waited for her to come out, and admitted it too.
Creepy,,,but something in her liked it.
Her stomach was doing flips, cheeks turning a light shade of pink as a soft âoh..â slipped past her lips. It felt odd to have someone this interested in her, especially Chan, but he seemed to be like that with everyone he knew.
She couldnât take this one instance as anything more than her best friends protective older brother looking out for his sisters pleasantly naive friend.
Nevertheless , she found it attractive. The idea that Chan wanted to protect or guard her was enough to feed her fantasies for the rest of her life.
Chan shifted, standing to the side and motioning for her to walk past him, âShall we.â Y/n nodded, smiling softly as she walked past him and back to her seat. He trailed after, stopping to reach into the overhead compartment for his carry on bag.
She caught sight of his shirt lifting, his skin taut with muscle underneath the black hoodie he wore, and his jeans resting on his hips perfectly to show off the band of his boxers that hugged his sculpted v-line just right.
Y/n wanted to reach out and graze her fingertips over his skin, have the blessing to touch him just once, but settled with just stealing glances at him as he retrieved whatever he needed from his bag. He suddenly looked down at her, a smirk on his face as she quickly turned her head towards the window. Heâd caught her staring where she shouldnât be and gave her no time to act as if she hadnât been.
âYou okay?,â he asks her, gaze lingering on her frozen posture before refocusing on the items in his bag. She clears her throat quietly, nodding in response, and shifting in her seat.
Chan didnât pry further, knowing she was the quiet type of girl whoâd get even more shy under pressure, so he let her be. Y/n kept her eyes fixated on the cloud filled sky outside, hands tucked under her legs.
Embarrassed couldnât begin to describe how she felt right now but it was dangerously close.
Chan had caught her staring and not even at his face.
She was fucked.
Totally fucked.

Moves & Countermoves (Part 18)
Prologue | One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven | Twelve | Thirteen | Fourteen | Fifteen | Sixteen | Seventeen
The room is silent, save for the childrenâs breathing and their own. Haymitch knows his wife is awake, as she toys softly with his fingers, draped over her waist.
Itâs been two days since the propo, from eight, aired in the districts. Thereâs been riots in several of them.
âKatniss wants to go back to twelve.â Y/N tells him. âShow Peeta what Snow did to it.â
Haymitch sighs, âI figured.â
âAfter his last interview with CaesarâŚâ she breaks off, âtheyâre gonna kill him, Haymitch. Theyâre gonna starve him, torture him to death.â
âWe donât know that.â
âYou saw him, itâs only been a few weeks.â ďżź
Haymitch settles a hand over her heart, soothing the ache. âBeeteeâs working on getting into the Capitolâs communications system. Once heâs in, theyâll play one of your propos and people will be storming the mansion.â
âHe canât get past his own design.â Y/N shakes her head.
âHe will,â Haymitch whispers, âgive it time.â
âI donât know what to do,â she mumbles. âI canât just keep sitting here while heâs suffering.â
âI wish I had some divine wisdom to give you.â Haymitch tells her. âI can make something up. Or I can be honest; say that Iâm here and I wonât leave. I will support whatever you decide and advise you as best I can. But right now thereâs nothing else you can do.â
It is honest and raw, a truthfulness heâs so often shielded her from. It feels different. It feels good. âThank you, for being honest.â
âFrom here on out, thatâs how itâll be.â
The words land like blows to her gut. âYou still love me though?â
âIâll always love you.â Haymitch says, without hesitation. âYou didnât always make it easy, but never once did I stop loving you. Youâre it for me.â
She wriggles farther against him, melting into his arms with a smile. âI love you forever, Haymitch.â
âMommy,â Aristaâs little voice sounds, from the corner. âYouâre talking in your sleep again.â
âNo, baby. Iâm talking to Daddy.â
âCan I talk too?â Arista perks up.
Haymitch chuckles, âcome on. But you have to be quiet, your brother and sister are sleeping.â
Eventually sleep claims them all.
Y/N wakes in a tangle of arms and legs. Both of their older children have joined them.
Daisy begins to fuss, she needs to be changed and sheâs hungry. So Y/N pries herself away, tending the baby and settling against the pillows of Everestâs empty bed to nurse her. She wails when Y/N pauses, mid feeding, to switch her to the opposite breast.
âI know,â Y/N cooes, âlifeâs hard, huh?â
Daisy pops open an eye to glare at her, as if she understands. Then latches on with a content sigh and stops kicking her little legs.
Y/N strokes a finger over the infantâs cheek. Unbidden tears well up in her eyes, swiped away before they fall. It is a blessing and a curse, to have pieces of your heart live outside your body.
When it comes time for breakfast, the five of them go together. They sit and try to enjoy this moment, enjoy their time together. Y/N and Haymitch walk Everest and Arista to school, in the lower levels.
The children introduce their parents to the few friends theyâve made. Only six other children reside here in thirteen, not including their own, or Prim. Sheâs working down in the hospital these days. Childhood has fleeted her.
Orders come, itâs time for Y/N to load up with Katniss and the others on the hovercraft. Haymitch walks her to the loading dock, Daisy sleeping in the wrap, against his chest.
âSoldier Abernathy,â Boggs greets her. âGlad you could join us.â He wasnât thrilled with her performance in district eight. Following the mockingjay into harmâs way, without a second thought. Though she acted erratically, he sees now, there is no safer place for Katniss than by her side.
âBoggs,â she nods, in return. Then gives her husband a proper goodbye.
Haymitch smiles into the kiss. It is not hungry or desperate, but sweet, calming even.
âIâll see you for dinner.â She waves as they separate.
âIâll see you.â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
They break for lunch, after filming a propo in twelve. Itâs mostly Gale, recounting what happened after Y/Nâs warning was received.
Everything is gone, save for bones and rubble of what they once called home. The houses in Victorâs Village still stand, preserved from the attack. Y/N passes through her front door.
She ventures to Aristaâs closet, opening one of the tubs at the bottom, full of clothing that no longer fits. The ones they saved, just in case. A white footed onesie that Everest and Arista wore as infants should be there. Eventually she gives up looking, it mustâve been moved. Perhaps something Haymitch dug out, in preparation and forgot to mention.
Y/N closes the door to Aristaâs room, catching a whiff of something sweet, floral, from down the hallway. The room theyâd hardly touched, meant for Daisy. She pushes the door open, the crib is assembled, the bedding in place, surrounded by a bed of crisp, white, roses. Lying against the mattress is the missing outfit.
Forever tainted by this memory. She takes it anyway, holding the soft fabric to her chest. It no longer smells of her sweet babies, or the soap she used to clean the onesie once they outgrew it.
Stuffing it into her bag to wash, Y/N takes their pictures, the baby books, as much as she can carry. She may never be back here, their memories are too important to lose.
When she meets Katniss and the others, down at the quarry, sheâs not in the mood for small talk. Y/N takes a seat on the rocks, and chokes down her rations.
âWhatâs that?â Cressida nods toward the fabric peeking out of Y/Nâs bag.
âOh, itâs just um,â Y/N tucks it back in, ânothing.â
The director smiles. âCan I see?â
Y/N takes a deep breath, âsure.â She pulls the garment free, holding it up for inspection. âIâve had it since my son was born, my oldest daughter wore it too, so I figured-â
âDid you make it?â
âNo.â Y/N lowers her gaze, âit was someone else.â
âWhere are they now?â Cressida wonders.
âI donât know,â Y/N lifts a shoulder. âI donât know if theyâre even alive, orâŚâ dead. âEither way I donât think weâll see each other again.â
Cressida nods, âit smells like the Capitol.â
âReeks,â Y/N agrees, âneeds to be washed.â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âAre you, are you, coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of hope, side by side with me.â
âThat line used to be necklace of rope,â Plutarch informs the viewing room, as the newest propo of Katniss singing in district twelve, plays over the large screen. âI had it changed to necklace of hope.â
âAh,â Haymitch raises his cup to the gamemaker. Itâs full of nothing but water, still it feels familiar to have there. âYou are a true wordsmith.â
âItâs a little on the nose, but of course, so is war.â Plutarch smiles.
âEvery district is seeing this?â President Coin asks.
Galeâs message is strong, redeeming on Y/Nâs behalf. Itâs enough to win over the districts, without breaking whatever ties she holds with citizens of the Capitol.
âYes, but not the Capitol.â Beetee frowns, âweâll get there.â
Y/N nods. There was no time between supper with the kids and being called to this meeting in command.
Haymitch doesnât know about the crib or the outfit, but he picked up the scent of roses from her bag. He knows something is off.
They are dismissed after a time. Again they wait, walking hand in hand to their living quarters. Haymitch moves for the touchpad to open the doors.
âWait,â Y/N stops him. âThereâs something I need to tell youâŚabout the house. Itâs still there.â
âI figured.â She wouldnât have come back with things from inside if it was burnt to ash.
âSnow had the crib moved into Daisyâs room. He took the onesie Vanity made out of Aristaâs closet and left it there.â
âThatâs why it smells like that?â
âYeah, the nursery was full of roses.â
âHe doesnât know,â Haymitch realizes.
âKnow what?â
âIf he knew her name was Daisy, he wouldâve left daisies instead. He would want us to know that he knows. Heâs fishing for information he doesnât have.â Haymitch knows this game.
âSo what do we do?â Y/N asks, turning worried eyes to her husband.
âWeâre getting through to the districts, Y/N. We just have to wait him out.â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Peetaâs final interview with Caesar does not air in the mess hall, like the others. Only higher ups in the command center are granted access. Y/N leaves the children with Madge. Rushing to meet Haymitch once the message reaches her.
The boy she once knew is broken, hollow. His eyes haunted by the horrors inflicted upon him. His voice trembles over each word. Oh, Peeta.
âAre you, are you, coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three.â
The image of Katniss cuts through his own.
âKatniss?â Peeta stammers, searching for her.
âHe sees it.â Coin rejoices, âhe sees our propo.â
âKatniss, are you there?â
Y/N moves closer to Haymitch, searching for his hand and finds it inching toward hers.
âPeeta.â Katniss whispers, a hand held to her belly as she crowds the screen. Desperate to offer a comfort she cannot give. Iâm here.
âPeeta, please continue.â Caesar redirects him. âYou were telling us about these savage attacks.â
Peeta nods, his thoughts clouded. Perhaps he had been seeing things, just imagining Katniss; the sound of her voice. âThe attack on the dam was a callous and inhuman act of destruction.â
âThe dead man called outâŚfor his love to flee.â
Peeta sees her again, sitting up at the edge of his chair. He knows what he has to do. Even if they kill him for it. âThink about it. How will this end? What will be left? No one can survive this. No one is safe now. Not here in the Capitol, not in any of the districts.â He pauses, mustering the courage. âTheyâre coming, Katniss. Theyâre gonna kill everyone. And in district thirteen youâll be dead by morning-â
The blow of Snowâs cane sends blood spattering across the screen. His features twisted in anger.
âThat was a warning,â Haymitch says. President Coin is dense, he needs to be sure she understands.
Y/N rushes to Katniss, turning her away.
âTheyâre gonna kill him.â Katniss cries. âWe have to get him out.â
âShh,â Y/N hushes her. âWeâre gonna get him.â She believes what sheâs saying, she has to.
âCan you see anything?â Coin asks the patrol operator.
âNothing on Doppler.â
âHe was in the mansion, he couldâve overheard something.â The president reasons.
âPossibly,â Plutarch agrees.
âHe wouldnât just make it up,â Y/N snaps.
Alma mulls it over for a moment, âitâs time for an air raid drill.â
The alarms sound, immediately. âThis is a code red alert, please remain calm and follow evacuation protocol. Proceed in an orderly fashion to the nearest stairwell and descend to level forty. Blast doors will be sealed in six minutes.âďżź
Y/N is still holding Katniss as Haymitch closes the distance between them. âTake Katniss and Iâll meet you there.â
âHaymitch, no.â Y/N shakes her head. âI wanna come with you.â
Haymitch turns to Katniss, âPrim and your mom are down at the hospital, right?â
Katniss nods, tears welled up in her eyes and she cannot speak.
âGood, theyâll be waiting for you.â One less thing to worry about.
âHaymitch,â Y/N says again.
âGetting to Madge and the kids will take longer with three of us and you know it.â Heâll have to fight his way up through a crowd of people rushing down. âI need you to trust me.â
âI-â she wants to argue, but thereâs no time. She has to trust him. âOk.â
âIf you love something, you set it free or some bullshit like that.â
The furrow of his brow softens. The words come easier now, in the panic and the shouting; at the thought of losing her. âI love you.â
âI love you.â Y/N and Katniss go left, hands clasped together.
Haymitch turns right; and they lose each other in a sea of strangers.

Note
I may have been reading a bit too much omegaverse but I stumbled upon your stuff on ao3 and uh now itâs not getting out of my head so Iâm here
may I request omega!Steve + alpha!Bucky having a sparring session that escalates beautifully?
For reference, my ask box is no longer open for requests, but this is from before I closed it, so I will be writing for this ask.
Also, before we get into it, I semi-recently wrote another lil thing here on Tumblr about Steve and Bucky sparring that you might want to check out, although that prompt fill is much, much angsty-er and not omegaverse specific.
And, lmao, that's fair. I haven't been thinking a lot about omegaverse recently, but every time I am on my omegaverse bullshit I am on it and into it.
And I was really thinking about what I could do with sparring and omegaverse and smut, reading your prompt, but then... I had a thought: omegaverse, fighting not sparring, and something similar to this iconic scene from Captain American: The Winter Soldier.
Then, things got angsty. I'm sorry, lmao. I didn't mean for it to happen! It just did.
So, consider the idea that Steve and Bucky were bonded mates before Bucky fell and "died" during the war. Bucky is Steve's alpha; Steve is Bucky's omega. Yet, when Steve wakes up in the modern world, not only has history been rewritten to say that Captain America was an alpha but, also, his relationship with Bucky has been erased. It had to be because if it weren't, that would mean that either (a) they would have to claim that Steve and Bucky were an alpha-alpha couple which they don't want to do because that'd make them queer and that's not a good propaganda pawn or (b) they would have to claim that Bucky was the omega, swapping Steve and Bucky's designations which is... plausible... but, that would mean admitting that omegas went to war and, that, again, is unpopular and not good propaganda. So, they just destroyed their relationship entirely and reassigned Steve's designation.
Steve isn't sure how to feel about his life being eroded like that. His relationship; his very, very strong feelings about what society tells omegas, especially omega men, they can or can't do; his history; his understanding. But, as fucking confused as he is about all that, warring with himself and trying to figure out where he stands, it is easier to let it be. Without his bonded mate--really, with having just lost his bonded mate according to his body, that doesn't know it's been seventy years, it thinks it's been just a handful of weeks since Bucky "died", his mating cycles haven't started to try and re-calibrate, triggering themselves to get back on tracks. Bucky was the one his heats were synced to. His grief puts a halt to his regular cycles for now anyway. Besides, the suppressants that exist nowadays are so much better than those from Steve's time.
So, yeah, it's much easier to let the world think he is an alpha, using scent-blocking deodorant and body wash and all that, letting people believe that it's just the chivalrous thing Captain America would, of course, do because his alpha scent is so fucking strong, if he didn't, he'd have a multiple-block line of omegas trailing after him throughout New York City.
They don't know the truth.
No one really does. There are just one or two high-security clearance people at S.H.I.E.L.D. in medical that know because they're synthesizing an extra strong heat suppressant for when Steve's body does decide it will try to realign itself without his mate. The secret needs to be kept.
However.
That all fucking changes in the blink of an eye when, finally, fucking finally Sam, Nat, and Steve track down the Winter Soldier, or rather, the soldier tracks them down to a rundown metropolitan area, all empty warehouses, junk cars, and beat up loading docks. They're running (or flying, in Sam's case) through cracked concrete and warped metal, swearing they see the soldier around every corner and hearing him, too. Their coms are haunted by whispers of each of them believing to have heard his footsteps just ahead, the sound of his arm recalibrating just over their shoulder, his weapon cocking behind them, or the eerie, all-around them sound of his breath through his mask, filtered and almost Darth-Vader-esque (Steve knows that reference, thank you, Sam).
It's hours of a wild chase, running in circles.
A death spiral.
Until...
Steve chokes on his own spit, sweating through his stolen museum uniform, as he's rushed from behind.
He's hit.
There's a nanosecond of stunned shock before he registers what's happening--it's the muzzle of a gun shoved into his back unforgivingly and trying to throw him to the ground with the impact. Steve bends under the weight but throws his own mass to the side, not letting himself get pinned to the ground and effectively evading the heavy gun pressed against him. He's lucky that the soldier doesn't just shoot a hole through him.
As he rolls away from the impact. His back stings with hot, vicious pain. He slams his shield to the side and CLANG! rings the dinner bell. Metal on metal. The large, bulky machine gun the soldier is carrying clashing with his vibranium shield. The vibration of the hit rattles Steve's teeth in his jaw. He won't let himself be stunned again, though.
So, he throws more of his mass behind his shield when he gets both feet on the ground and strips the soldier of his biggest gun. But not before he fires off a handful of shots against his shield at point-blank range. The POP, POP, POP of the gun is so loud Steve is momentarily deafened, his ears ringing so badly that there's no sound at all. The heat of the gunpowder combusting radiates through Steve's shield back into his body--he can feel it in his arms. His heart races. The combustion is all he can smell. He doesn't need hearing or smell, though. Not when he's so close. He doesn't mind being burned alive, either. Not in his frantic state of mind. He's right fucking here. This is the closest they've come. They need to make this happen. And they need it now. So, he can take it.
He has to.
Another shove and the soldier loses his grip entirely. The big, heavy gun skids across the ground, scraped up and scratched on the concrete before finally slowing to stillness impressively far away from them. Already, though, the soldier is moving to grab another.
Steve needs to beat him to the punch. Brute force.
And so, he has no choice but to swing the shield away, leaving himself open to be hit, but sacrificing safety to hold onto the muzzle of the next much smaller handgun the soldier rips out of its holster.
Steve can't let him have it.
They struggle in the overcast, humid weather.
Strength-to-strength.
Hand-to-hand.
Breath-for-breath.
They're shockingly on par with each other, even as the soldier's arm recalibrates with a mechanical war cry, whining sharply through the ringing in Steve's ears. But ultimately, the handgun goes flying, too. Landing on the magazine, jostling it, and making it pop off in a random direction. It doesn't hit either of them. Steve doesn't hear Sam or Natasha close by either, so they're safe for now. He focuses on the fight he has in front of him, trusting they'll keep themselves out of harms way as best they can.
The gun just goes off once and then slides across the ground just as the other one had. The dragging sound of it is sickening like nails on a chalkboard. Steve wants to wince but can't risk it. His eyes have never been more goddamn open.
The soldier has a knife next. Not another gun.
Steve, through his exerted panting, lets out something of a sigh of relief, at least that shit can't make as much terrible, sharp fucking noise. It's also, y'know, good that the threat of having holes shot through him isn't as pressing. A knife is still bad, but he can work with a knife. He can.
He will.
Steve backs up, giving himself room to play. Both side-stepping for real and faux rushing in, Steve blocks every stab, cut, and swing the soldier throws his way, forcing him to make moves he wouldn't if he weren't brawling with Steve.
With more and more missed hits, Steve can see he's getting frustrated. He isn't tiring out because Steve isn't tired out. Not yet. He can do this all day. But the soldier is getting angry--it's the only flash of emotion he's seen on his face. Granted, he's never seen this much of his face before with his goggles gone. His mask is still firmly in place, though. Only his eyes are exposed--especially his eyebrows are exposed, 'cause they're so dark and expressive, furrowing in aggravation with what must be a vicious snarl.
The next thrown stabs are reckless. He's leaving himself open. Steve takes the window he's giving, exploiting it and using it to his advantage. Punching in.
Steve manages to get the knife away from him, too, but not before the soldier strips him of his shield entirely. It rattles against the ground like a coin dropped, rolling around its rim with an obnoxious clang!-groooooiinng-roooooiing-ooooooiinnnng-rnnnnng-rrrrrnnnng.
They're fists to fists then.
It could only be more vulnerable if they were bare knuckles to bare knuckes. That'd suck worse. The soldiers metal arm could surely best his flesh and bone to a bloody pulp easier than Steve could fuck over his metal architecture.
It's a rushing, messy blur of body-weight-thrown-behind-them punches and knee-sweeping kicks, getting knocked down and getting up, rolling and turning and tucking. At some fucking point, Steve's face down on the floor, fist thrown out into nothing but concrete, and he's gasping through his gritted teeth. His ribs hurt. He sees fucking red but it washes out, running pink and then clear like a bloody wound rinsed clean behind a faucet, as soon as he feels the soldier's organic arm wrap around his throat like a boa constrictor.
Shit.
Steve opens his mouth, gasping, not through his teeth this time. He fights that much harder. Motherfucker.
He twists like an alligator in a death roll, except he's not holding onto prey. He is the prey, and he desperately needs not to be. In the soldier's grasp, he lifts his leg and kicks it back hard. The soldier barely grunts, and instead of being deterred by his thrashing and kicking, he hauls Steve's body back as if he weighs nothing at all.
Steve twists harder and harder and harder and ends up with his nose in the soldier's armpit, his neck twisted and strained harshly to the side, tendons screaming at him. His vision is just starting to go fuzzy at the edges without oxygen, getting choked by the soldier so intensely, when--
Steve's choppy, barely successful inhale that fights to happen under the instinctive need for air, his lungs spasming and chest heaving even while his brain knows he won't find any oxygen--that inhale, it brings in the barest hint of a devastingly familiar scent.
Bucky.
The scent that's wafting off of the soldier's underarms is undeniably alpha, and it's choked with the acrid scent of distress and exhaustion. But, deeper, beneath that unpleasant, unwashed scent, it's just... that's... it's-! That's the smell of his alpha. Seventy years long dead. His alpha.
His alpha smells like sweet tobacco and fragrant cigarettes and summer sweat and well-loved leather and deep, old woods. His alpha smells like home. His alpha smells like himself. Bucky. His alpha used to smell, most of the time, like Steve. They were always all over each other, of course.
Steve can't tell if the soldier smells like him. For one, he's always slathered in scent blockers, so he's not even sure what he smells like without them anymore. And for another, the moment is there and then gone, so he doesn't get more than a single, earth-shattering whiff.
It's a faint whiff, even though the soldier's smell is so strong, but Steve knows what he fucking smelled.
He knows the truth.
His body knows the truth, dropping limp beneath Bucky, reacting so viscerally to his alpha. All the fight drops out of him.
Alpha.
His body screams for his alpha.
Steve doesn't even fucking do anything, he can't. His hindbrain works a million times faster than his conscious, logical brain. He folds to his alpha because that's what his innermost omega demands. That's what it wants. That's what it needs.
Bucky.
He needs Bucky.
He needs his alpha.
He misses his alpha so fucking much.
Steve whimpers, the call of his mate's designation right there on his lips, "a-alpha," but it dies before he can get it out. He doesn't have the air for it.
And in a fucking flash, before he's even processed what's happening in his logical brain, he's hard. His body and hindbrain are working overtime to push him. Hitting hyperdrive. He's wet. He's gutted with the sudden onslaught of heat rushing into him.
Heat.
Steve is on the cusp of spilling over like a little Dixie cup beneath a pouring, rushing faucet.
Pheromones. Fever. Slick. Cramps.
Heat.
He's tripping.
He is.
He is spilling over.
Steve is unraveling. Every constructed asset of Captain America peeling away beneath the terror and celebration he exists undeather, knowing that his bondmate is alive. Terror for what's become of him--what's been done to him--and celebration for knowing he's still alive, even if alive may be a stretch. He is a shell.
He is a shell because Steve's Bucky wouldn't choke him intent to kill. But the soldier does.
The soldier is.
The soldier is going to do him in.
The soldier would--the soldier will choke him out. The soldier will kill him. He will because he's been giving the opportunity on a silver platter, Steve's body limp. His instincts can't be overriden. The pure relieve and horror he feels. The rushing, rising tide of his stunted heat suddenly overcoming him. The soldier would murder Steve if not for Sam, who does a flying kick to Bucky's shoulder and knocks him away from Steve.
Bucky growls roughly, even more frustrated than before. But, something in him has changed. His eyes dart between Steve and Sam uncomprehending what's happening. There's the darkness of primal instinct behind those eyes. Steve desperately wishes he knew if it was his natural alpha instincts or whatever perverted, twisted instincts whoever did this to him placed in his broken mind.
This is Bucky, but this isn't Bucky.
Steve watches, heart throbbing in his crushed, hurting throat, as Bucky scrambles to his feet. Body lifting and moving with deadly precision, his metal hand clutches at his flesh and blood shoulder. It's sitting at an awkward angle compared to the rest of his body. Sam's kick must've dislocated it. Steve can't shove down his own growl, territorial over his alpha who's been abruptly dangled in front of his face, just out of reach.
Although Steve's possessive, mate mate mate protective instincts turn into a whine quickly. One of his hands lifts without his conscious input and stretches out toward Bucky. His fingers tremble, aching to soothe the hurt he's masking and aching to be soothed himself. Moments from every heat he's spent with his alpha over their life together flash before his eyes as his alpha's eyes bore into him, confusion plain as day, then realization, then horrified fear, and then he's scurrying away.
Bucky doesn't bother to grab a gun, knife, steal his shield, or anything. He's just high-tailing it out of there--there one moment and then gone the next and leaving Steve to deal with the aftermath.
Alone.
With no mate.
Entirely devastated.
Steve is choking and sputtering after being choked, feeling wet and sticky between his legs as the fever of heat really starts to sink its teeth into him. Jesus Christ. One smell of his alpha and his grieving, out-of-wack body has locked itself into a tailspin. Jesus Christ. He's so fucked. So not fucked. He remembers what his heats were like after the serum. They're unstoppable. Worse than they ever were when he was just a runt omega. He needs his alpha.
How's he going to survive one without him?
What is he supposed to do?
Steve has just begun to comprehend some of what unfolded, and he already feels helpless. He's crushed. There's nothing he can do.
Steve swallows a pathetic cry, stuffing it down his throat.
A cramp roils through Steve's shivering body. He ends up collapsing forward into a ball, his cowl-covered forehead hitting the concrete ground with a desperate, defeated clunk.
His ears are still ringing. His heart is still, of course, pounding. His nose tells him he can still smell his alpha, his perfect, familiar scent crowded by the scent of so much fucking pain. And his eyes squeeze shut that much tighter. So, he can't hear what Sam is saying. He can't see Natasha rush over. He can't parse out the questions they're asking him or the way they're touching him gently, trying to figure out where he's hurt, how badly he's hurt. Steve can do nothing but try and fail to grapple with the impending doom of knowing he's in for a week of agony without his alpha.
His alpha who is alive.
He has to find him.
He needs him.
P.S. if you enjoyed this painâ˘ď¸ you'll like this orphaned fic, "it's gotta get easier somehow ('coz, i'm falling, i'm falling)"
I forgot about it until I finished this little drabble, but I've had it bookmarked forever, so, it probably inspired this subconsciously!

Rolitagni's First Contact
I'm trying out doing some creative writing of my own for a change. I've been following the HASO tag for a while, and wanted to give it a shot. This is moreso designed to be an intro for a series, I guess. If you have feedback, I'd love to hear it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spaceport was always busy. The chaotic noise of merchants peddling wares and hulking cargo ships being loaded up for long voyages never gave anyone a momentâs rest. But it was here that Rolitagni felt at home. Sitting in a packed lounge near the loading docks, she grabbed her second glass of Bulemoi, and made idle chat with some of the other workers around. Some were a little weirded out by her appearance; after all, Kemians donât exactly have the best reputation or the kindest appearance. She could sense that much within the room. But she was familiar enough to the others that they didnât mind. She listened to her fellow voyagers and their tales; tales of long journeys, of strange planets, and of other species theyâd met across the galaxy. Though there was one species that cropped up in more stories than others lately.
Humans.
A relatively new group to join the collective of various species in the galaxy, the humans had made quite the entrance. The galaxy had been aware of humans, but as a Type 1 civilization, it was more of an occasional entertainment than viewing them as equals. Not that they knew, of course. But humanity had improved. After dozens of cycles of testing and watching, a human spacecraftârudimentary at best, itâs a wonder it even made it that farâstumbled into the Greeâlekâs territory. What Rolitagni wouldnât have given to see the faces of both sides when they found out. After some tense negotiations, humanity was deemed more than an attraction, and viewed as a fellow spacefaring speciesâthough woefully behind. How theyâd managed to do anything without faster-than-light tech was beyond her. The galaxy helped them catch up, and in a matter of cycles, humanity had transitioned from a one-planet species to a fully functioning part of the Commonwealth of Systems. Rumors floated around spaceports and tabloid headlines about humans and their stories, stories of daring bravery, utter foolishness, and of their quirky nature. Sure, every species had its features, but there had been such a long time without a new species that everything had become rather dull. Rolitagni, being her outgoing, curious self, had been excited to meet a human the moment sheâd heard about them.
As she sat in the lounge and daydreamed, she felt a buzz from her pocket. Her datapad, signaling that it was time to get back to work. With a sigh, she stood up, stretching a bit before handing the bartender some paeolenta. She strolled out of the building and into the busy streets. A nightmare of colors, sounds, smells, and species roamed about. But she loved it, taking in a deep breath of the artificial atmosphere. It was such a smorgasbord of gasses and chemicals to allow for all visiting species to breathe it, and it left a strange taste in the mouth. She strolled down the walkways, making her way back to her ship, nudging her way past Slaniums, Treâas, and many more species that she probably couldnât pronounce. After some distance, she arrived at the loading docks. The hulking cargo ships loomed overhead, being anchored in every which way by cargo tubes and walkways. Following her datapad to find her ship, she looked up to see the brilliant logo of the ship sheâd served on for so long: âG.S.V. Laneylaâ. Supposedly the captain had named it after his late partner. It didnât matter too much for her. Whatever the name, itâd been her home for dozens of cycles.Â
As she walked up the ramp she saw one of her coworkers, a Jlinin by the name of Mreswi, waving to her and holding a datapad similar to her own. âHey, Roli! Weâre just finishing getting loaded up. Got a few dozen more crates and weâll be good to go. Think you can take over?â
Roli giggled to herself. Mreswiâs strange tendency to drag out the vowels of his words never failed to make her smile. Well, as much as she could smile with her canine-esque skull-like face. She beamed her message into his mind, though he was used to it. After all, she couldnât exactly speak. âSure, Iâm coming! Just finished relaxing at Poatersâ place.â She whipped out her datapad and pulled up the manifest for this next trip. Standard stuff, like spices and materials, bound for wealthy buyers or companies to make products. Then there were some odd things, like a pallet of seventeen Bremni skins. A predatory species, and not one with intelligence, they were often hunted for their strong, yet soft skins. And as she scrolled down the list, she raised a metaphorical eyebrow at the last entry. Rather than cargo, it displayed that a new member would be joining them. Roli got excited. Itâd been a few cycles since anyone had joined the crew, although everyone was still reeling a bit from the death of their last engineer. She shuddered at the memory. Turns out that having many tentacles in a room with plenty of moving gears was not exactly the best combination. Theyâd still find pieces of them in the system from time to time.
She gave a nod to Mreswi as she began watching the cargo arrive through the conveyor systems. She couldnât imagine trying to haul all this up, despite her four-armed strength. As she surveyed and checked off the supplies as it arrived, she felt something. A small sense of nervousness from around her. Sure, to a Kemian like her who could sense life-forces, that was normal. But something about it was different. Each species had their own chemical and neural responses, but sheâd never felt one like this before. As the last of the cargo arrived, she felt the presence getting closer. She looked down the ramp towards it, and gasped to herself. She could feel her own giddiness boiling up inside her. Sheâd dreamed of meeting one, but to have them as a new crew member? It was almost enough to make her squeal.
She watched as a human slowly approached. The stories had always painted humans in different lights and appearances. He slowly approached, looking around anxiously while toting their large baggage. As he approached her, he looked a little more scared, which was understandable to her. After all, pale white skin with tens if not hundreds of stitches, four arms, a pitch black skull mask, and being about a foot taller than the human was not a combination that was exactly easy to expect or understand.Â
The human cleared his throat and spoke in a gentle, yet curious voice. âUm, hey. Is this the âLaneylaâ? I was told to meet someone here.â
Rolitagni beamed with happiness, her attitude completely betraying her appearance. She nodded and looked down at the human, sending her message into his mind. âYep! Sure is! I guess youâre the new guy, huh? And a human, too!â
The human froze for a second, seemingly shocked by her telepathic nature, along with the lack of a universal translator needed to understand her. After a moment of stammering to himself, he worked up the courage to speak. âYeah, I am. Iâm supposed to be the new engineer here.â
Roli nodded again vigorously while her twin tails swept behind her in eagerness. âSounds great! Why donât you go ahead and have a seat over there,â she said, gesturing to a bench by the back wall of the cargo hold, âand Iâll show you around soon? Weâre almost ready to shove off.â She beamed as she checked the manifest on the datapad in front of her. âOh, by the way, whatâs your name? Iâm Rolitagni, but most folks call me Roli.â
The human paused for a second, then looked up to her and spoke. âIâm Aidan. Nice to meet you, Roli!â His translator crackled slightly. They hadn't been updated to be able to translate this âEnglishâ very well yet, but it worked well enough.
âNice to meet you, too, Aidan!â The name was slightly strange to Roli, but so were plenty of other species' monikers. Sheâd get used to it in time. After all, they had a long voyage ahead, there'd be plenty of time to get to know the human. She watched as Aidan took his things over to the bench and sat down as she finished up the inventory. She walked over to the bench and looked at him. âWelcome to the âLaneylaâ! Youâll have a great time here. Ready to get started? I'll show you around the ship for starters.â

PART III
Sam found himself in the warehouse's back area that had been altered, now a mixture of original storage on the left and prefabricated rooms to the right, with the loading dock straight ahead, where his wolf was leading him. The scent of home was strongly intermingling with blood where cursing and bodies impacting each other were echoing down the hallway, drawing Sam in.
A quick look-see around an open door revealed fluorescents bathing everything in washed-out colors: a very pretty, weeping, leashed O kneeling next to an expensively attired Alpha, passively observing two other Alphas engaged in a fight when one abruptly spun, spraying blood across the back walls not far from another lying in a pool of their blood on the floor. Enraged, the remaining Alpha redoubled their efforts to restrain a naked, blood-covered female who was, holy fuck, an O!Â
Sam watches, astonished that, while tiring, the O wasn't giving up when another Alpha wielding a blackjack shoves him out of the way, bludgeoning and knocking her to the floor, repeatedly striking to ensure she stayed down grabbed her collar and dragged the dazed O towards a line of heavy-duty dog crates stuffing her in one. While blackjack hauled out the bodies, the banged-up Alpha grabbed a hose washing blood down the floor drain, then turned it on the caged O when Samâs brother rushed in, grabbing him.
âSammy! What the fucks the matter with you!â Dean, visibly distraught, dragged him down the hallway, flashbacks to when Sam disappeared for two weeks after turning sixteen on his watch and when their Alpha returned, his atrocious reaction. âYou promised me youâd never disappear like that again!â Right now, Dean wishes Sam was still unpresented and could discipline him when John, appearing relieved, quickly reverted to norms. âSam, you ever do that again,â admonished his pup in a tight voice. He wasnât expecting Samâs I found the O response questions, âWhat are you talking about?â Sam pointed towards the room and exclaimed, âShe killed two Alphas!âÂ
âAre you sure it was an O?â John sounded doubtful when the palatable taste of the blood and the scent that led Sam back here hit him, making his wolf jolt at his overloaded senses and his canines elongate. John wrestled back control to his hunter intellect when his eldest growled, bolted back down the hallway, followed by Sam on his heels, and yelled, âDean! Sam! Get your asses back here!â Â
Helms appears out of nowhere and sees Dean arguing with the suited Alpha. âWinchester, you have no right to be back here!â The suit stops arguing with Dean and turns on the Dealer. âYou think you can sell me misrepresented goods, Helms?â Pointing to the cage rages, âI paid you an exorbitant price for twins. But you lied! Look at that thing!!â John peers back at the cage and sees the leashed O reaching into a wire cage, shaking the other oneâs arm as Sam knelt next to her and, oh, holy shit, laid a hand on her shoulder.Â
John rushed over before the suit realized the young Alpha was touching their newly acquired property. âStep away from them, Sam.â Sam reluctantly got up as John squatted down to inspect them. The caged one curled up in a fetal position is larger than her sibling, but one can still see her full, pink lips and cinnamon-freckled skin, and she smells nothing like the other. Helms thought he could pass off these Oâs as twins? No wonder the suit is pissed. The O whimpers, opening her uninjured, fox-tilted eye to reveal the irisâs unusual mosaic, and upon seeing Sam, a faint ring of gold manifests, and his wolf reciprocates.
John knew only one thing could override rut suppressants snapped, âDean, get Sam out of here this instant!â Dean comes over, green eyes widening, and doubles-over groans out, âSonuvabitch!â
 âDean! I gave you an order!âÂ
Dean hobbled to his dazed brother, âCome on, Sammy!â They stagger for the door, using each other as a counterbalance. John returned his attention to the suit, still arguing with Helms about some contractual blah blah blah, felt a touch on his leg peers down at the O, whispering, âAlpha, please donât let them kill her!âÂ
John watches the caged one reach a shaking hand through the bars, stroking the otherâs arm comfortingly. She has strong protective instincts, like Dean when Sam has one of his nightmares. Johnâs thoughts are interrupted by the suit hollers. âHey! What the fuck you are doing over there?âÂ
The suit stomps over, and Johnâs hackles go up, expecting an altercation. Instead, they take the Oâs leash, leading her across the room to tether her to the doorknob before addressing him. âI understand you need an O to keep your son out of jail, so Iâll make you a deal. You can have that thing,â they point to the cage, âfor a dollar. Save me the effort of getting rid of it.â
âYou canât make side deals in my establishment!â Helms screeched. The suit uses their status to dominate the Beta Dealer. âYou lied about the product, and since Iâve signed all the contracts and a deal being a deal, as you keep pointing out, I can do whatever I want with my property.â The suit addresses John again, âAre you interested or not?â John gazes at the now unconscious caged O, then back to her twin, whose eyes plead for help.
âYou have a deal.â

A while ago, I posted a petition, to stop the closing of a much loved museum, Syndeys Powerhouse museum, a place that's been under threat for years.
I need your help with this once again, (especially if you are an Aussie)
After years of threatening to close down and demolish our only science, tech and applied arts museum, and one attempt to turn it into an events center, they've come back with another plan, which basically amounts to "we're going to clear out the museum and demolish most of the structures inside. We definitely have a plan to put some cool stuff back, but we can't tell you it, but it's definitely gonna be great. Don't mind that a bunch of purpose built structures to display delicate objects are set to be demolished."
(That's an F1 Apollo rocket engine, very rare outside the USA. Almost 60 years old, now delicate, but it's going.)
"We've garunteed 3 of the most iconic items (not their accompanying collections) will come back. Pay no mind that we haven't allowed for where they're gonna go, or that the one object we can't move (rare, 250 year old working Boulton and Watts steam engine) is set to end up inside a corridor)
(There used to be room, elevated planforms even)
"Oh, also, you know that museum storage hall, so close by and practical, with a loading dock and workshops, that's also sitting on prime real estate? We're building a second loading dock and workshops in the main museum! Right where the all classrooms where!"
It's supposedly a heritage restoration, but in truth, it's based of a skewed heritage report which has been heavily criticised as I'll informed, and rigged to allow the place's removal.
Almost every detail goes against the spirit of the original musuem. The orginal museum was a fun, post modern place with a sciencey vibe,
Which transitioned fluidly into historic halls, with historic products and technology to match
The Musuem has an upper entrance designed to be welcoming, full of natural light, and evoke the feel of an old grand train station. This is to be bricked up.
Rather than restore the older galleries, theyre taking several of them out reducing display space from about 15,000m²ish to about 6000m² ish.
The historic halls included restored generator room filler with steam engines. This really put the museum on the map.
But that's going.
All that is going, in favour of
This kind of thing.
The plan to do this is on display untill end of may May 30th, Aussie time. It would help a lot if you (might be only Australians) log on and make a short comment opposing the project:
A lot more commentary on the project can be found at:
@protecpowerhous on Twitter
Or if you cant make a submission, and still haven't, please sign that petition:
The people reporting to government planning will be see it, and attention helps.
#again i will not be mass reposting this here. once or twice. i make this a rule because#there are so many important worthy causes in the world (this one is mine) of different scales#if i post other stuff on here this blog looses its purpose#and it is - and will remain - a special themed gimmic blog posting only the most rational and sensible things you could do as a Tumblr use#this is a no nonsense space with a perfect understanding of humans and what they like to do#oh also some propper tags#museums#Australia#syndey#powerhouse museum

once again, im here with set pictures, info from the set designer, Mark Hofeling, and my own commentary on it. this time, i wanna share stuff on Isle of the Lost from Descendants 2.
post about Isle of the Lost in part one
post about Maleficent's castle
Ursula's Fish and Chips Shoppe:
About Ursula's place: "Like all the imprisoned villains on the Isle of the Lost, Ursula has had to find a way to make ends meet. Thus her Fish and Chips Shoppe is right at the tide line of the prison island. I wanted the feel of a faded old carnival attraction, still alluring despite its decay."
"Uma (China Anne McClain) and her pirate gang, including her trusted lieutenants Harry Hook (Thomas Doherty) and Gil (Dylan Playfair) rally to take back what is theirs in Uma's mother's dingy tidal pool of a Fish and Chips Shoppe."
"A detail of the menu board and specials in Ursula's Fish and Chips Shoppe."
i think this gives us info on the money on the Isle. there are two units, m and n, and there are a 100n in 1m. i think the prices are comprable to us dollars back like 30-40 years ago? which further supports my theory that the Isle is stuck in the past, in the time of their imprisonment. the menu itself has some genuine regular items, like fish cakes, dumplings, but most of them are isle specials, like pond scum, shell smell, and gulf goo. which i think is hilarious considering Ursula and Uma still just serve them whatever.
"A detail of Uma's coral throne."
Isle of the Lost:
"A view of Low Tide Lane on the Isle of the Lost. Having been an isolated prison island for decades now, the idea was that every slat and board is on its 9th or 10th life, and every object not screwed down had changed grubby hands hundreds of times."
they kept the dirty candy colour palette! and i love how they truly kept to the 'everything is used and stolen 10 times over' philosophy.
this is the Bazaar, which is another market on the Isle. there is one in the main square and then this is the one closer to the docks, we can see Mal riding through it in D2. here, we once again see the money measurement. and i think it's intereting to see that crab and potatoes are priced higher than other things. i also like the 'satisfaction no guaranteed' sign.
Curl Up and Dye:
"Drizella's Curl Up and Dye on the Isle of the Lost is where Mal and Evie load up on chemicals for their showdown with Uma's pirate gang. So more than a hair salon as absurd as the rest of the Isle, it also had to be a repository for all kinds of chemistry and alchemy. The idea here was that out of every 100 of young Dizzy's experimental, chemical beauty concoctions, 99 blow up."
"The ever-unpredictable dye distillery."
"A detail of the dry chemistry set up."
i like that the base for this is a rough finish, like a construction before any renovation. and then its just neon splashes and broken mirrors from Dizzy's experiments. also i like the note that it's more chem lab than a salon.
Rotten four's hideout:
"The VK's hideout was always a place of respite from their raging and overbearing parents. It's where the VK's purloined all the best stuff on the Isle, and where Mal perfected her street art. "
this is Mal's room! which confirms for me that she doesn't live with her mother, at least not full time.
im kinda sad that we didn't get a view of the side with all those board games (kitchen, i think?) but even just these pictures are full of interesting details! as far as i saw only Mal's and Jay's 'Long Live Evil' tags are on the walls, i think it's because it was theirs first. i like the thorns that are circling the walls, like Maleficent's thorns around Sleeping Beauty's castle. they have some kind of an old school sound system, too! which i can i assume they use when throwing parties. and there are bikes, probably repaired 10 times over, but prised nonetheless. also, i thought that the green lamp in Mal's room is a hookah lol
Uma's ship:
"Uma and her pirate gang rule the rotting docks and rocky edge of the Isle of the Lost."
"Uma's HQ is this ruined pirate ship. After all the Disney Villains were relocated to the Isle of the Lost, all the ships that brought them were scuttled and they were all locked behind an enchanted barrier. So this is one of many wrecks in these waters, including the sails of the ship, rammed into her side. We found real tall-ship riggers for this work, and they used 10,000 feet of rope in the process."
i love that they really rigged that ship! i think it's a detail that shows that Uma's pirates are real professionals.
"This photo shows the "rickety" and treacherous landscape of the rotten docksides. This became the setting of a 20 person melee to rescue King Ben and escape the Isle and Uma's vengeful clutches."
we can see Uma's 'We ride with the tide' tag in the bg, signifying that this is her territory.
there are a lot of cool details but what i'm focusing on here are the old school washing machines, again showing us how the Isle is frozen in time. im assuming theyre on the docks because this is where the water is.
i am looking to make another post with details from D3, here's hoping i'll get to it sooner than i did this follow up
#laila.txt#isle of the lost#there are also cool views of Auradon on the website but im such an Isle fan lol

Vows & Vengeance Episode 1
ALRIGHT GUYS! As always, I'm super late to the party (although for once, I actually have a good reason, which is that I'm currently kinda in the middle of renovating my place lol), and while I first listened to the episode on Thursday, I just wanted to let it sink in a bit and listen to it again a few times, to really appreciate all the details. :D So here are a trillion few notes on the first episode (spoiler, I loved it! <3333) and I hope this doesn't sound too jumbled, I haven't had a lot of sleep lately. đđđđ
- Ok, so my first reaction to the ending was basically: "OH MY GOD NOTHING CAN EVER GO RIGHT", "DAMN THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY" and sobbing for Elio, I guess. lol
- My general thoughts: I loved it!! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ I felt like it was gripping and immersive from the beginning, but also genuinely funny and moving at times! I think this first episode did a good job of setting up the plot, the pacing was good and I'm already invested in the new characters! The sound design and voice acting was top notch (albeit maybe a bit over the top and a little cheesy in a couple of scenes lol) and I absolutely LOVED the little nuggets of the Veilguard soundtrack we got throughout (Zimmer and Balfe confirmed!!). There are a few tiny nitpicks, but overall this was fantastic and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard of a game being marketed with an audio drama before? đ But looking at Dragon Age's amazing voice cast (and the fact that they all made us develop a voice kink lmao), this makes so much sense and I need like a hundred more of these in the future. lol
Notes on the episode itself:
- The narrator reminds me so much of the ones in these old anime dubs. I was expecting him to be like "LAST TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z". He got lost in the wrong dragon franchise. lol Really cool voice though!
- I LOOVE how it starts off with a minute of just the ambient sounds, chatters and music of the tavern, to really get that immersion, as if you just walked into this place yourself. - That new rendition of "Oh Grey Warden" hit me in the feels ngl.. ;-;
- Nadia just walking it and poisoning Olen to get answers was such a badass introduction to our main character! - I like how the narrative is neatly tied together by making this a retelling of what happened, starting off with loads of questions and by the end we're back in the present again.
- Nadia and Elio are so sweet nawww <3333 - Those sounds of Elio waking Nadia up were straight up ASMR. lol - The tune that's playing in the back here is sooo nice, I wonder if it's part of the new Love theme or something. đĽšâ¤ď¸
- A sort of forbidden love between Liberati and Altus, oh this better end f*cking well!! đđđ - Well, that birthday got cancelled REAL fast. lol - I get Nadia's outbreak, but DAMN, she went OFF on him from like 0 to 100 in a heartbeat. lmao I guess something was bottling up for quite some time. - "I'm sorry" Oh no. I notice a certain pattern. *sob* - Again, that track that's playing here, wooow. Goosebumps! It's a super tragic rendition of the main theme. I just know this one's gonna hit so hard whenever that plays in Veilguard. đ
- I wonder if the docks here are the same we've seen in screenshots. :3 - The soundtrack that's playing here reminds me SO MUCH of Unravel (one of my favorite tracks in recent years! <3333) - I like Nadia and Vik's dynamic. Super authentic. :D
- Nadia's reaction to the gold and then "TRIPLE the bag for delivery??" Yeah, Solas truly is the richest apostate hobo in all of Thedas. Those vaults from Trespasser come in handy now. Good thing the currency of old Elvhenan is apparently still valid. lol - Solas' quest of collecting every ancient powerful artifact continues. - Isn't this like the second time now that Solas indirectly hired someone to break into the Archives? lol They really need to improve that security. (Watch there being a quest in Veilguard where you have to break in there again, but it's impossible due to the amounts of guards now and Solas is like "Yeah, that might be my fault, sorry." lol)
- Super random thought, but judging by the sound design, there's gotta be lots of chickens running around in the streets of Minrathous. lol - NEVE!! <3333 (I'm sorry to anyone who had the wildest conspiracy theories about that teaser image and was expecting someone else. lmao) - So, wait. Does that mean Solas also anticipated Neve to talk to Elio? Or maybe someone else was supposed to do that but Neve got there first? lol
- Nadia and Vik have got to be the noisiest thieves I've ever heard. LMAO HOW did you manage to steal anything until now?? đđđ - I love how you keep hearing Vik laughing in the distance while distracting the guards. lol
- I wonder if all the turmoil could have been avoided if they just informed Elio about his ancestor's connection to the Eye and the Venatori from the get go. I guess he needed that push of knowing to never be able to return to his life in Tevinter to go along with it, but.. *sigh* poor Elio. - "I trust you." UHGGHH We were on the right track there. đđ - That music AGAIN?? Chilllls!! - Nadia just casually destroying hundreds of years worth of relics. Love it. lol - "FLAME BLAST!!" Oh, this is so anime. lmaoo - Elio going from "WE'RE NOT DOING THIS" to fully enjoying beating up templars and go full criminal in a matter of seconds as soon as he sees his girl in her element. He loves her so much. <33
- "Who's the hat?" lol - That groan after the Dread Wolf name drop? Yeah, that was actually me. lmao - So, I assume this also ties in with Neve already knowing about Solas and his shenanigans in Minrathous when she met Varric in The Missing. Maybe it was this very incident that Neve was talking about? - Noooo, Vik!! đđ (I knew you for like five minutes, but you made in impact. lol) - Sooo... I take it these "assassins" were actually Venatori, since they were the ones going after the Eye in the first place? Or am I stupid now? - "The eye went boom!" Love that delivery. lol - "She's trying to freeze the bay!" Yeah, Neve just DID that. What a boss. - "An elf with a fancy tongue." Oh, I know who THAT is. lmao
- "Me and you." đđđđ You two are killing me. - That motif AGAIN. đđđđđ - Oh, for fuck's SAKE. Solas really always has the best flippin timing. They're all sweet and loving and here goes our disaster man "I'm about to ruin this couple's day so good." đđđ It's her BIRTHDAY, dammit!! - "Ominous looking chap in the road" lmao All I could think of there was THIS (for anyone who gets the reference LMAO)
- How is it that I knew he would appear in this episode from the teaser, and yet I still freaked out so hard. lmaoo After such a long time, it's like any second of new Solas content makes my heart skip a beat (or several). đđ I still can't believe we're getting all this. đĽš
- Look, I may be a Solasmancer and have my biases, but godDAMN.. GDL is so good. HE IS SO GOOD. That Welsh accent. That rolling lilt. A voice like velvet that can be both so smooth and so sharp. There is just something about his performance that has you on the edge of your seat every time he's talking and I looove these little moments when you can so clearly hear that cheeky little smile in his voice. đ
And it's so nice to hear him talk so calmly (well, at first at least lol) and kinda playful again, opposed to how super anxious he sounds at the beginning of Veilguard. 𼺠It's kinda interesting to compare this performance with DAI now, because now he's fully embracing the Dread Wolf role, and I keep thinking this is him after being isolated for the past ten years. ;-;
- Anway, so Nadia "unknowingly employed by the Dread Wolf" gets her pay from Richie Rich and girl, that would've been the moment to LEAVE. *sob* - "What other choice do we have?" Well, I dunno, RUN?? lmao - *chuckles* "I will demonstrate." Alright, I'm dead. Why did you say it like THAT? T_____T - Hearing Solas talk in elven after so long.. Dead again. Overkill. And yes, he's saying the exact same thing he said to Sera once. No, we don't know what it means. lol Maybe Sera IS actually an ancient magical artifact and he tried to trigger.. something. lol - That whole flippin dialogue. Solas please stop talking like an old witch trying to lure her prey into her lair. đ - "I do not play games." *screaming* - Honestly, I was like "NOOO WHY would you GO with himmm" but then I remembered, SHIT I WOULD FOLLOW HIM ANYWHERE. Hell, I *HAVE* followed him anywhere. To Hell and back. đđđđđ - Solas' persuasion game is at maximum at all times.
- "Energy is neither dark nor light." Speak for yourself, Trickster God of In Between. - "It is the Fade. The Veil is fragile here."
- Solas finally gets to answer questions again, but Nadia is rude about it. đ Solas slightly approves AND disapproves. lol - "Kindly remove your blade from my neck."
- Those damn Venatori at it AGAIN with their hunt for magical McGuffins. After TN and the Missing, I'm starting to believe that is all Solas did in the last ten years, snatching one deadly toy out of the their hands after another. lmao - "And it is up to me to ensure we arrive at the best possible outcome." Oh, we're so doomed. - "You're sharper than you let on." Here we go again with the backhanded compliments. lol Ohhh, how I missed it.
"Some people confuse a reckoning as an ending." "I seek... regeneration."
Holy shit. The voice. The long pause. The delivery of that last line. Shivers down my spine. It feels eerie. Like he sounds.. desperate.. and maybe a little.. insane? lmao (That's how you start to talk if you've been separated from your soulmate for ten years đđđ)
Ok look, I've seen a TON of people thinking that, because of the way he says this and him using the word "reckoning" ("For a reckoning that will shake the very heavens"), this HAS to be whatever part he took of Mythal speaking now that has taken over his mind or something. But.. I don't think so? lol
I honestly think this is just Solas who, after a thousand years of preparing to "heal" the world again that he broke, even after admitting to himself that this world and its people are in fact real and he has to destroy it, is SO close to getting there now and there's NO ONE who could possibly understand him or how he truly feels or what any of this or the Blights/Titans/spirits/gods/Veil even truly ARE, so no WONDER he sounds a little f*cking unhinged. đđđ
The choice of words is very interesting though.. "Regeneration" is not something he has ever used, BUT it immediately made me think of the line "But still, some hope remains for restoration" in Trespasser. This is what google tells me:
Regeneration represents a form of upgrade from restoration. If restoration means âto make something well again,â regeneration, for some authors, means âto make it betterâ than a (supposed) origin condition.
Regeneration: "a renewal or restoration of a body, bodily part, or biological system (such as a forest) after injury or as a normal process/ or a spiritual renewal or revival"
You know.. if I read "restoration of a bodily part or biological system", you know what's the first thing that comes to my mind yet AGAIN.
Look, that Titan's body is SPLIT IN HALF and we know that this was kinda the catalyst for everything Solas did back then, so... I'll just leave that here and listen to rest of the episode now. lmaoo
- "And the eye will make us fix that?" "More or less." dksdjjgdkfvlf THE SMILE IN HIS VOICE. What does that even MEAN? What do you MEEEAN, SIR?? I would've RUN out of that cave SO flippin FAST. - "And you're sure this is safe?" "As safe as we make it." *literally two minutes later* "SOLAS, SOMETHING IS WROOONG!!" This is a goddamn comedy show. lmaoo - "Silence, please." lol at him still being polite. - "This is all to be expected!" *five seconds later* "WE MUST FLEE!" I BUST out laughing. WHY are you such a DISASTER. Nothing EVER goes right and yet you always keep trying, you fool, omg!! - I don't think we have ever heard Solas so distressed. lol Like, not even when Wisdom died or at the beginning of Veilguard. - "Take my hand!" I would've never thought to hear THAT Trespasser line repeated under those circumstances, but here we are. lmaooo - We know Solas is a hopeless romantic, so for him to see that sweet couple torn apart because of him, and him still trying to save Nadia, I'm not ok. - Solas being responsible for Elio getting banished to the Fade and him being trapped there not long after.. Do you believe in karma? đ - "I'M SORRY!" WHY DOES IT ALWAYS END WITH HIM SAYING THAT. đ
- So.. uh... what even WAS the plan, exactly? lol Like, what was supposed to happen?? Maybe they should've asked a few more questions after all. đ - That following scene with Nadia all alone. I got chills again. That hit different. ;-;
- "Where can I find this wolf??" Oh, she is about to hunt him down. đś "...I'll be back." Nadia in full Terminator mode now. đ - How are she and Elio connected now though? How can she hear him? 𼺠And I can't help but think about whoever was left in the Fade in DAI again, too. đđđ - Not the credits making me almost sob AGAIN because of the music. đ It is so so good.
So there we are. Everything went wrong, a couple is doomed and Solas is sorry. So, nothing changed. LMAO Everything as usual. đđđ Solas, I swear, if you don't get these two back together again and pay Lavellan a visit afterwards, my Rook might rethink listening to your advice in Veilguard. lmao
I can't wait for that next episode! This was so much fun and an amazing start, and I'm so excited to hear all the other companions! :D â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸

It was a very busy day for the island. Mihawk oversaw the unloading of a supply ship, checking off and rechecking items from a list. There was a lot coming off the ship and still more to be loaded on to it for trade. Luckily he had an extra pair of eyes observing everything. Which also came with a pair of wings.
"Talon, do not hover so close to my shoulder. You're making my list blow about," he chided his assistant gently.
"Sorry. Oh, I saw those over there!"
The Seraphim child fluttered away, inspecting the contents of a crate. Talon had become fond of "helping" Mihawk whenever he could, especially with chores around the island. Mihawk felt it had to do with the need to prove himself to the Cross Guild. Talon was part of a pirate crew now, after all.
Mihawk remembered when he was that young, and had the desire to prove himself to someone. To his family. Though, he had been driven to do so for entirely different reasons. Reasons that he hoped Talon would never have to experience.
Talon came fluttering back, and this time remembered to land on his feet to stand next to Mihawk. "I counted everything for that line, Dad. There's ten barrels of beer and ten empty ones to send back."
"Good. Thank you."
"What is beer anyway?"
"It's not anything you would like."
"Why not?"
"You just will not," Mihawk frowned. "Go and see what colors of fabric are on those spools, please."
"Okay!"
Mihawk went through the rest of the list and traded receipts with the ship's captain. He instructed the dock workers to transport the remaining supplies to their designated areas. Before turning to leave, he looked over to the fabric spools, where Talon was still lingering. There were two other children with him.
"C'mon kids!" he heard the captain yell, and the two bid a quick farewell to Talon and raced back up the ship's ramp. Mihawk noticed a strange glimmer in Talon's eyes, and he went to go collect him.
"Come, son. Let us go prepare for dinner."
Talon watched the sails drop and and the ship begin to drift from the dock. "Okay," he said with a long sigh.
****
Talon was noticeably silent throughout their entire meal, even with Buggy's terrible jokes as entertainment. Afterwards, Talon helped Mihawk clean up the dishes, like usual, but remained deep in thought. Once everything was washed and put away, Mihawk tried to coax him with an extra serving of ice cream together.
They sat in the kitchen, away from the others, enjoying their second round of dessert. "Is something on your mind, Talon?" Mihawk asked gently. "You've been quite reserved all afternoon."
"I've just been thinking...do you know where your brothers and sisters are, Dad?"
Mihawk was taken aback. "I...do not." He wanted to explain that while he did technically have siblings, Mihawk no longer considered them family. His biological parents made that choice long ago, when he was abandoned for his 'cursed eyes' and Mihawk had forgotten that they ever existed.
Still, he wasn't sure if Talon was just making an innocent assumption about him or if he was actually recalling something from Mihawk's past. "I don't know where they are, or what happened to them. They left me long ago, and I never saw them again."
He didn't feel the need to elaborate on the anger and resentment his younger self went through.
Talon nodded his head in thought. "I don't know where my brothers and sisters are either. I think I forgot about them, until I met those brothers today. I keep trying to remember where they are now, but I can't."
"Do you think they are currently where you came from?"
"They might be in the doctor's lab, I guess, but, I don't know." There was sudden pained expression on Talon's face. "Do you think they left me too?"
Mihawk reached his hand out to touch Talon's shoulder. "Of course not, child."
"But how do you know!?"
Mihawk squeezed his shoulder. "Because all of the reports I've read and stories I've heard about you and the other Seraphim suggest that you fought valiantly together. Siblings who fight like that together do not just abandon one another. They are probably somewhere that they can't reach you, and must be wondering where you are as well."
That seemed to soothe Talon somewhat, to Mihawk's relief. Talon took a deep sigh and blinked. His shoulders squared up and the flame on his back burned a little brighter. "I am going to find them someday. I want to make sure they are okay. You'll help me, won't you Dad?"
Mihawk smiled. "Of course I will."
Talon smiled back. Then his eyes widened. "Oops! It's melting!"
Talon lowered his flame and hurriedly began to finish the ice cream in his bowl. Mihawk gently picked at his own, staring out the kitchen window at the first starlight, deep in thought.

FNAF Fan-made | Five Night's at The Owl House Studio and Entertainment | AU
"Five Nightâs at The Owl House Studio and Entertainment" abbreviated, "FNaTOHS&E" is a Five Nightâs at Freddyâs inspired Universe between The Owl House. The concept of this is, instead of voice actors- the series is filmed with animatronics and certain props.
| Location's Within The Owl House Studio Universe |
The Owl House Studio and Entertainment (2016-2020)
The Owl House Studio and Entertainment Facility, or also just known as, The Owl House Studio and Entertainment, is a Animated Television Filming Studio, mixed with children entertainment. It is built and station in Obion County, Union City, Tennessee. The Primary mascot and figurehead of The Owl House Studio and Entertainment is Luz Noceda, accompanied by her showmates, consisting of Hunter, King Clawthorne, and Amity Blight.
When the drawing board was being done, the Company was originally going to be a Diner or an Adventure Park. The ideal spark of becoming an Animated Television Studio business came a little time later when the founder- James Summers, realized how many diner places already have animatronics.
Coming up with the designs of the four main animatronics (Luz Noceda, Amity Blight, Hunter, and London). Early iteration of Luz Noceda was created and designed to help with the development of the programming and coding- London (King's early iteration) was soon canceled from the project and a new design counterpart was created; soon to be King.
James partnered up with his college classmate Nathan Carpenter, who was an robotic engineer - which is the inspiration, Mr. Summers got the idea of Amity becoming an "Abomination Engineer" in the epilogue.
James and Natan made a public account where they would publish their storyboards and short videos of storyboard-drawn motion pictures. Within a half-a-year; 1994, Walt Disney Animation Studios caught wind of the storyboards and grew interested in their idea of creating a series. A contract built and signed by both sides; starting a partnership and a way to build their project. Walt Disney Animation Studios gave Mr. Summers and Hayden a 'Business Starting Fund' to begin construction of the Studio.
James and Nathan both lived in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee which they both believed was too small to start their business, after a few months searching for suitable cities to move to, they discovered Union City. The City Mayor agreed to having their company built in his/her city, signing an agreement and a contract with the city. in mid 1995, the two families moved to Union City, Tennessee to start construction of the 48-acre building.
The blueprints of the Studio ended up being a single-story, with four separate buildings: the first building being the Main Building- which has, the Main Entrance Lobby, a Snack/Food Bar, an Electric Room, a Prize Room, two Arcade Halls, a few restrooms, the Security Office, a Parts and Service Room, The Editing/Revising Lab, and the Main Recording Set Area. The Second building being the Secondary Animatronic Containment Storage- which would store all the other animatronics which are 'minor' characters of the series. The third building being the Supply/Containment Storage and Loading Dock Section- which would be where all the props, merchandise, and even frozen foods would be stored properly; along with where the delivery trucks would drop off the supplies. The fourth and final building would be a bit smaller than the other buildings; which would be the Workshop. This is where Mr. Summers and Mr. Carpenter would brainstorm new studio ideas and storyboard them for the Animatronics to perform the scenes.
The Animatronics are also known to have their own rooms - which is down a secret hall that only the Staff, employee's and the Animatronics are known to. The hall is called "The Lounge Hall".
When the studio was starting up and beginning production, Nathan Carpenter hired her sister-in-law;Â Kailey Lakewood, to become the Animatronic Chief Officer- which she would be in charge of the Animatronics and in charge of putting in service orders for the Animatronics. Throughout college, Kailey was obsessed with the thought of the paranormal, and even possession activity. Working around Animatronics, it sparked her interest back up and she producted an "experience" to extract an substance what is called "remnant" which created from agony from an individual. This is the motion to her act of the "Four Missing Children Incident".
Events soon followed behind from Kailey's act. From "The Bite of 2019", to the Paranormal Activities during the night at the Studio. The Owl House Studio and Entertainment Facility soon became the infamous business within the city, which caused many people to move out of the city; or even avoid the part of the city that the Studio is in. Numbers of guests visiting the Studio during 'Open Public Hours' started to decrease at a slow, by fair pace.
The "New-and-Improved" Owl House Studio and Entertainment (2022-2025)
A year following the first Studio closing, James and Nathan decided to re-open as a refurbished building and new technology and program systems in the Animatronics- Criminal Database, Suspicious Alarms, ect. The "new-and-improved" Owl House Studio and Entertainment Facility opened around the late period before Season 2 ended. Once the series were finished, the City attempted to put the company out of business, however couldn't go through with the action due to the active contract with Walt Disney Animation Studios. The Company was put on a "Do Not Demolition" Order by the Local Government due to the 'still up' Contract. After two years of the Series being finished, the Contract started to get loosened up, due to Walt Disney Company not wanting to do anymore business with Owl Entertainment Inc.
The Owl House Studio: Horror Attraction and Museum (2038-2039)
Around 13 years following the Studios' closure, Owl Entertainment Inc. decided to honor the tales and rumors of the Studio by opening a Horror Attraction, and even a Museum- showcasing all the old props, including the deactivated Animatronics from "both" locations.
The Owl Cafe (2057-2059)
It is now 32 years following the Studio closing their doors The Owl Cafe is it's the first restaurant-themed setting as the others are Studio Filming/Entertainment Establishments. Owl Entertainment gained a new owner- going under Owl Entertainment LLC.
A few Employee's were assigned to head to the burn wreckage of the Horror Attraction/Museum place where they were to try to salvage what they could, but they couldnât find anything due to everything being burnt from the fire. However, the employees were forced to return to the old rubbles and debris where the building once was a second time to thoroughly go through the burnt remains to shockingly find a polished wired glass (which is fire proof glass) jar that had withstood the major flames and contained what appeared to be four different glowing hues of spiritual essence âRemnantâ - along with a flash drive. The staff took it back to the current establishment which it was unknowably installed the said remnant into the newly made animatronics thinking that it would assist with their programming.
The flash drive was plugged into the main system computer which started to glitch the system and download a virus to all the electronic devices around the restaurant over the night; without anyone noticing. The business was opened in July 2057, and the restaurant went on without a hitch and was able to thrive for two more year's until- in late 2059 a bite with one of the newer original models: Mocha Cappuccino, bit a customer due to a drink spill that went into the mechanic wires and systems, and a investigation with the local police from a few reported suspicious activities which the company denied even knowing or being apart of..the suspicious activities are unknown (A few hidden murders and missing reports) The establishment closed down after two and-a-half years open, keeping night guard hiring for another year, with finding out whatâs going on in the building at night time; making the horrific realization that the animatronics were actually living and possessed with the original murdered children from the first ever âThe Owl Houseâ Studio establishment. The Remnant was shared/divided among all animatronics.
All locations falls between a duration of 63 years! The first ever related "Owl House" content was between 1995 to 2000 called, "Luz and Friends"
| Luz and Friends |
Luz and Friends is an early short-animated show that was created and aired between 1993 to 1995. The animation was flat and simple, then being followed with it's successor animated television show The Owl House. Luz and Friends was approximately eight minutes long.
Each episode would have a small conflict among the group of teen kids; or could be a simple argument, and is solved by Luz herself learned by a valuable lesson. Hunter was always known as the "trouble maker" in the teen group. Before 'The Owl House' aired, King was known as a forest stray. The program didn't have a complex/difficult plot-line. The location setting was unknown in "Luz and Friends" as the program didn't focus too much on the setting, more than the plot of the story for that episode.
| Animatronics Around The Universe |
There are many variations of the 'The Owl House' Animatronics- Originals, 2.0's, Phantoms, and the Cafe Animatronics. I will list the Animatronics in the "Universe Series" they appear in:
"Originals" Animatronics- FNaTOHS&E 2

- Deathtrap Luz Noceda * Prototype/Deathtrap Luz Noceda: Prototype is a taller and "older aged" version of Luz Noceda that was never used for the series. She has black leggings, dark purple turtle neck long-sleeved shirt wore under a light blue and white jacket- having a single dark purple stripe along the middle. An owl pendant necklace around her neck, wearing light purple, white, and blue sneakers. Prototype Luz has her pixie cut style but slightly longer.

(her "age" appears to be around 16) - Phantom Luz Noceda - Phantom Amity Blight - Phantom King Clawthorne - Phantom Hunter - Phantom Eda Clawthorne
"Cafe" Animatronics- FNaTOHS&E 5
Cafe Luz Noceda
- Cafe Luz keeps her styled curly shortened hair, mascara black earrings, and her permanent "scar" from the series. Due to the Cafe style, Luz dons brown trousers, black short sleeved shirt, with lighter tan jacket that has a golden clip of the Cafe's logo on the right corner of the jacket, with a pin underneath the logo clip-pin which is a pin shape and colored of stringbean. And black shoes. - Luz helps with day security guard, by looking over the whole Cafe as double security; since she's still the main mascot of the company.
Cafe King Clawthorne
- Cafe King is the same with his dark red collar and tag that has the initials "KC" on it. Along with his bright blue star sticker/bandage on the right side of his skull. On the collar is a golden pin clip that has the Cafe's logo on it. King just wears a coffee brown colored apron. - King would show "coming in" customers to their seats, handing them their menus
Cafe Amity Blight
- Cafe Amityâs hair goes back to the color from the episode âThanks to Themâ with the light pink and the brown root color on the top of her head. She is dressed with a naples yellow colored long sleeved turtle neck shirt, black pants, and a white/light tan colored waist apron that has a pocket in it - which a pad and a pen is always kept in it for Amity to take the customers orders. On the waist apron is a golden clip pin that has the Cafeâs logo. Cafe Amity also wears gray shoes. - Amity would help the human waiters take table orders on hours that the Cafe is very busy following hourly shows.
Cafe Hunter
Cafe Hunter also stayed the same from his âEpilogueâ appearance from the series- including his few face and ear scars. He wears a brown long sleeved shirt that has the cuffs of the sleeves folded.

| FNaTOHS&E 1&2 Hauntings |
⢠With the Animatronics - in their "normal mode setting" their eyes are normal with their color eyes and white sclera - except King, he has his yellow sclera.
⢠Paranormal activities began two days following the MCI - marking that Kailey's third "experience" was successful and that remnants have been collected. The Animatronics continues to program/act the same way, except that they can have tendencies to be more staredown on adults than kids. Since the ghost children are mostly in an "invisible" state most of the time, some objects and doors may seem to open, or slam close themselves. Night Guards that have ran out and/or quickly quit would report random loud scrapping sounds, the security cameras rapidly flashing/going out un-naturally, hearing ghostly whisper sounds, and even the animatronic walking around acting threatening. Often have haunting nightmares of four children stalking and injuring them - when waking up discovering that the injuries are real - a few people have actually died in their dream.
⢠A few sightings have also been seen of red liquid splattered along walls spelling words like: "YOU". "YOUR NOT OUR FRIEND". "IT'S ME". "SHOW ON" with a red child-sized finger print in red next to it, Or "NO SAVING". Only "IT'S ME" would appear when Luz is nearby and about to attack.
⢠Ghost Children Possession/Alert: light-yellow tint sclera - King's is a tad darker.
⢠Ghost Children Angered: fully dark red.
| The Torture Machine |
⢠The Torture Machine is a hallow front shelled King/horn skull head machine (like the Animatronics' Masks) that has a bunch of sharp gears, shredders, and sharp slicing blades that causes anyone that gets pressed into it ripped apart. This device was originally created by Chairman and Agents of Owl Entertainment Inc. secretly for a tool of controlling - which soon gets taken over as a tool to "fix" people that the Animatronics gets a hold of to properly fit them into the empty suits in the supply/parts and service room. in the '90's it was used a few times by Kailey Lakewood and even Mr. West to get rid of a few Agents/Employees that were caught either snooping around Owl Entertainment corporate office finding secrecy information papers - or, breaking the #8 rule in the business.
