An incomplete "there's a good chance the icon you love and support is a Zionist" list

🌟 Raphael Lemkin, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, whose family was murdered during it. Lemkin is responsible for coining the term "genocide," and for every legal provision that exists today against it. His work against genocide was inspired by his Zionism.

🌟 Martin Luther King, Jr., who did not only support Israel and its right to security, a fellow participant at a dinner with MLK shortly before his assassination quotes him as having stopped a student attacking Zionism, and replied, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking antisemitism." He also encouraged Americans in 1967 to support the Jewish state, as Egypt blockaded the Straits of Tiran, endangering Israeli citizens by cutting the country off from its oil supply.

🌟 Emma Lazarus, a Jewish American poet, whose words ("Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free") are engraved on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal, after they helped raise the money needed for its completion. Drawing from the value of Jewish solidarity, she also wrote, "Until we are all free, we are none of us free," adopted as a slogan by intersectionality (while many in the movement exclude Jews from it). She was a great supporter of establishing a state for Jews in the Jewish homeland, having argued for this idea years before the word "Zionist" was even coined.

🌟 The 14th Dalai Lama, the leader of the fight against the occupation of Tibet, who was invited in 1994 to Israel, at a time when China's communist regime did its best to prevent his visits anywhere in the world, and who came to Israel more than once, talking about the 2000 years long Zionism of Jewish culture in exile as an inspiration and role model for Tibetans. "Among Tibetan refugees, we are always saying to ourselves that we must learn the Jewish secret to keep our traditions, in some cases under hostile circumstances."

🌟 Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who spoke more than once about how her pursuit of justice is a continuation of that very same thing in Jewish tradition. She had repeatedly referred to American Zionist Jews as sources of inspiration. For example, in 2018, during her fifth visit to Israel, in a speech she gave when receiving the Genesis Award, she mentioned two such women, Emma Lazarus and Henrietta Szold.

🌟 Nelson Mandela had an ambivalent view of Israel, but repeatedly recognized its right to exist, which makes him a Zionist, he also called upon Arab states to do the same, and was favorable towards the Zionist Jews who supported him during his underground days. Mandela being critical of Israel and still a Zionist is an apt reminder that criticizing the Jewish state and opposing its very existence are NOT the same thing, and only one's antisemitic.

🌟 Felix Salten, the Jewish author of Bambi (the book Disney's movie is based on). The tale was originally a metaphor for Jews suffering antisemitism, something Salten personally had to cope with. He was also an ardent Zionist, feeling the self-liberation at the core of this ideology suited his idea of how to deal with Jew hatred.

🌟 Sun Yat-Sen, who helped end the rule of China's last imperial dynasty, was its first provisional president, and is nowadays honored as an important Chinese leader in both China and Taiwan (sometimes referred to as "Father of the Chinese Nation"). He was an enthusiastic supporter of Zionism. Among other instances of expressing that, he wrote in a 1920 letter to a leader of the Jewish community in Shang Hai about Zionism that it is, "one of the greatest movements of the present time. All lovers of Democracy cannot help but support wholeheartedly and welcome with enthusiasm the movement to restore your wonderful and historic nation, which has contributed so much to the civilization of the world and which rightfully deserves an honorable place in the family of nations."

🌟 Magnus Hirschfeld, a gay Jewish sexologist, nicknamed among other things "The Einstein of Sex" and "The Father of Gay Liberation," because his medical and scientific work on human sexuality, as well as social advocacy for women's, gay and trans rights, was nothing short of pioneering. He was persecuted by the Nazis to the point where he died in exile. They broke into his institute of sexual research, where the world's first clinic performing sex reassignments surgeries was located, and burned down the institute's library. Hirschfeld had attended a Zionist conference following the Balfor Declaration of 1917, and his work on sexual liberation found inspiration in young socialist Jewish Zionist workers he met during a visit to the Land of Israel in 1931-2.

🌟 Marcia Langton, a professor and prominent Aboriginal rights activist from Australia, who has been leading the fight against racism and for her community. She spoke out against the hijacking of native rights movements by terrorist sympathizers and antisemites, and has clearly stood against all loss of life, including that of Israelis.

🌟 Felix Zandman, a Holocaust survivor whose work on resistors is integrated into many smartphones, laptops, cars, satellites, hospital ventilators (saving many Covid patients), airplanes and more. Whenever the anti-Israel crowd is scrolling social media on their phones, they're enjoying the work of a Zionist, who enthusiastically supported the State of Israel, and even introduced an important improvement to the Israeli Merkava tank, which has likely saved many Israeli lives, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, and others like him, since Israel's high tech is considered only second to Silicon Valley (going back to at least the 1990's). If they truly wish to boycott everything that's been "contaminated" by Zionism, they should probably just boycott technology.

🌟 Rosa Parks, an African American leader of the civil rights movement (and someone who personally demonstrated how one can resist without turning violent). She was one of 200 notable black American leaders who publicly organized to express their support and respect of Zionism as the Jewish right to self-determination, and Israel as the manifestation of that right.

-> Like I said, this is VERY incomplete, even just in terms of how the overwhelming majority of Jews are Zionist, and have been since the inception of Judaism, which is itself Zionist. Over the years, this led to many non-Jewish human and native rights champions to be supportive of Zionism, too. Take note of who is being vilified, when the term "Zionist" is ignorantly used as if it means anything other than belief in the equal right of Jews to liberation and self-determination in the Jewish ancestral land. Especially when it is used as being inherently evil.

Importing Polypropylene from Saudi Arabia: Tricked by a Freight Forwarder Until Found me

Importing Polypropylene from Saudi Arabia: Tricked by a Freight Forwarder Until Found me

Mr. Chen from a chemical factory in Guangzhou asked me to transport 4x40HQ containers of polypropylene from Yanbu Port, Saudi Arabia, to Guangzhou. He had heard about Sunny Worldwide Logistics and how we’ve earned a solid reputation as a reliable freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia. Initially, he was cautious, as he had a bad experience last year with a cheaper freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia and ended up regretting it.

What attracted Mr. Chen to that company was the low price. At first, he had some doubts, so he frequently communicated with the forwarder, who confidently reassured him that everything would be fine. They claimed that they handled a large volume of cargo and could negotiate discounted rates with shipping lines, though the delivery time might be a bit longer. Since Mr. Chen wasn't in a hurry, he thought their explanation made sense and decided to give them a try.

But after the payment was made, things started to feel off. Communication became difficult, and eventually, the company went completely silent. To make matters worse, Mr. Chen later found out that the company had declared bankruptcy! He was in a panic.

This is a classic case of the risks of chasing low rates. Often, small freight forwarders operating out of village offices offer below-cost rates to attract a large volume of business. Since their rates are so low, they require upfront payment. Once they’ve collected enough payments, they pass the cargo to a third-party provider and then suddenly declare bankruptcy.

I explained to Mr. Chen that many new freight forwarders register every year in China, but a large percentage don’t survive beyond three years. This is why it’s crucial to check whether the company is just a small operation and how long they’ve been in business.

Sunny Worldwide Logistics was founded in 1998, and with 26 years in the industry, we’ve established ourselves as one of the most trusted companies. We own an 1,800-square-meter Grade-A office in Shenzhen’s business district and employ nearly 100 staff. We’re one of the few companies with such stability, and I invited him to visit us for an in-person inspection if he had any concerns.

Mr. Chen’s doubts gradually faded, and he confidently entrusted us with his shipment. With our expertise, we assisted him in obtaining a letter of credit from his Saudi client, which kicked off the journey of transporting four containers of polypropylene from Saudi Arabia to Guangzhou.

Handling polypropylene, a chemical product, is a real test of a freight forwarder’s capabilities. I designed three different shipping plans from Yanbu Port for Mr. Chen to choose from. Unlike small freight forwarders operating out of village offices, Sunny Worldwide Logistics has its own trucking fleet. Many smaller forwarders have to rent trucks, which can sometimes lead to issues like theft. When business is slow, they might be able to find a truck, but during peak seasons, especially around holidays, finding a truck can be nearly impossible. Drivers often go home, making it even harder to secure transportation. However, with our own fleet, we can manage the schedules ourselves and even arrange nighttime pickups, significantly reducing delivery times.

If you want to know more about me and my experiences in international logistics, check out my diary, where I share stories about my work and the heartwarming moments I've had with clients. Feel free to reach out anytime!

Tips for a Successful China Visa Interview for UAE Applicants

For UAE residents planning a trip to China, a visa interview might be part of the application process. The interview is an opportunity for Chinese visa officers to verify your travel plans and ensure that your reasons for visiting align with the visa type you’ve applied for. While this process might seem intimidating, preparing ahead can make your interview smooth and successful.

In this article, we’ll share essential tips for acing your China visa interview, ensuring that you’re well-prepared and confident.

1. Understand the Purpose of the China Visa Interview

The main goal of the China visa interview is to confirm that you meet the requirements for the visa and that your visit is genuine. The visa officer will review your application and supporting documents, asking questions to verify the purpose of your visit, your financial stability, and your travel plans.

By preparing thoroughly and providing accurate information, you can ease through the interview process without any issues.

2. Be Clear About the Purpose of Your Visit

One of the first questions you’ll be asked is about the purpose of your visit to China. Be sure to provide clear and specific information based on the visa type you applied for:

Tourist Visa (L Visa): If you are visiting China for leisure, provide a detailed travel itinerary, including the places you plan to visit and the duration of your stay.

Business Visa (M Visa): If you’re traveling for business, have information about the meetings, conferences, or trade fairs you will be attending, along with a letter of invitation from the Chinese company or organization.

Student Visa (X Visa): For students, be ready to explain your educational program, why you chose a specific institution, and your plans after completing your studies.

Work Visa (Z Visa): If you’re moving to China for work, provide details about your job offer, your employer, and your expected stay.

Giving clear, detailed answers will assure the visa officer that your visit is legitimate and well-planned.

3. Know Your Travel Itinerary and Accommodation Details

You may be asked to provide details of your travel plans, such as the dates of your trip and where you will stay in China. Be prepared to answer questions like:

When will you arrive in China, and when do you plan to leave?

What cities will you be visiting, and for how long?

Where will you stay during your trip?

Make sure you have your travel itinerary, including flight and accommodation bookings, ready to show. If you are staying with friends or family in China, have their contact information and address on hand.

4. Be Ready to Provide Financial Proof

The visa officer may want to ensure that you have enough funds to cover your trip without needing to work illegally in China. You’ll need to show that you can support yourself financially during your stay.

Bank Statements: Bring recent bank statements that show a sufficient balance to cover your trip.

Proof of Income: If you are employed, have your recent pay slips ready to show.

Sponsorship Letter: If someone else is sponsoring your trip, provide a sponsorship letter detailing your relationship to the sponsor and their financial documents.

Make sure your financial documents match the information you provided in your application.

5. Demonstrate Strong Ties to the UAE

One of the key aspects of a successful visa interview is showing that you have strong ties to the UAE and will return after your visit to China. This is particularly important for tourist or business visas. You can demonstrate your ties through:

Employment: Bring a letter from your employer stating your job position and that you will return to work after your trip.

Family: If you have family responsibilities in the UAE, mention these during the interview.

Property or Lease Documents: If you own property or have a long-term lease, provide evidence of this to show your commitments in the UAE.

This will reassure the visa officer that you intend to return after your stay in China.

6. Be Honest and Consistent

Honesty is crucial in any visa interview. Make sure that all the information you provide during the interview matches the details in your visa application and supporting documents. Any inconsistencies or attempts to mislead could lead to your visa being denied.

Be truthful: Don’t exaggerate your travel plans, financial situation, or reasons for visiting China.

Provide consistent answers: Ensure your responses during the interview align with the documents you’ve submitted.

Visa officers are trained to detect inconsistencies, so it’s important to remain honest and accurate throughout the process.

7. Practice Common Visa Interview Questions

Preparing for your interview by practicing common questions can help you feel more confident and organized. Here are some typical questions you may be asked:

Why are you visiting China?

How long do you plan to stay in China?

Who is funding your trip?

Do you have any family or friends in China?

What do you do for a living in the UAE?

Will you return to the UAE after your visit?

Practicing your answers will help you respond confidently and clearly during the actual interview.

8. Dress Professionally and Arrive On Time

Making a good first impression is important, even in a visa interview. Dress professionally but comfortably, showing respect for the process.

Arrive on time for your interview. Being punctual reflects that you’re responsible and serious about the application process. Plan your journey to the visa application center ahead of time, considering possible traffic delays.

9. Bring All Necessary Documents

Ensure you have all the required documents with you for the interview. These include:

Your passport (valid for at least six months beyond your stay).

The visa application form and payment receipt.

Financial documents (bank statements, pay slips, or sponsor details).

Travel itinerary (flight bookings and accommodation).

Invitation letter (if applicable).

Having all the necessary documents in order will help you answer questions clearly and avoid any delays in the visa decision process.

10. Stay Calm and Confident

Finally, remain calm and confident throughout the interview. The visa officer is simply verifying your information, not trying to intimidate you. Listen carefully to the questions and answer them clearly, without rushing. If you don’t know the answer to a question, it’s better to say so rather than guess.

Conclusion

By preparing thoroughly and following these tips, you’ll increase your chances of a successful China visa interview as a UAE resident. Remember, the key is to stay organized, honest, and confident.

Living on the frontline : 1985 : Dave Asher, 21 Aharonson Street, Tel Aviv

“There’s a bomb!” someone shouted. “There’s a bomb!”

I had just collected ‘NME’ from the newsagent that reserved it for me each week and had been lazily staring at a display of the new ‘designer’ stretch jeans in the windows of Gloria Vandebilt’s shop. All had been calm on the city’s main shopping street. Then suddenly it was chaos. People ran in all directions as if their lives depended upon it … which they did. Men, women and children screamed as they fled down side streets, their shopping bags flying behind them like parachutes. I was in amongst them, running at full pelt until I thought I was far enough away from the suspect device. How would I know? I didn’t. Did I hear an explosion? No. Was it really a bomb? I never knew.

On the walk home, I called in at the post office and joined a lengthy queue at the counter for overseas mail. Once I handed over my letter, the man behind the counter inspected it and adopted the withering look of an adult castigating a child … or a new immigrant.

“You cannot send this,” he said, visibly weighing up my ignorance. “We are at war.”

“Oh,” I said sheepishly, taking back my letter. “Okay. Thanks.”

Where I came from, you could send a letter anywhere in the world. I had spent much of my childhood doing just that, writing to radio stations as far away as China, Russia and Syria … and receiving replies. However, I was now learning that life is different during a time of war. I had written a fan letter to ‘Radio One’, an FM station in Beirut, Lebanon with English-speaking DJs who played the latest international hits, interspersed with familiar identification jingles stolen from ‘BBC Radio One’. Since radio transmissions ignore borders and war zones, I had become a committed listener in recent months. Now I had to return home with my unsent letter.

‘Home’ was temporarily a house at 21 Rehov Aharonson in Tel Aviv, where I was sleeping on the living room floor of the lower flat rented by fellow Brit Dave Asher. He was a well-known DJ in Israel from having presented the ‘Voice of Peace’ radio station’s breakfast show for several years. There were drawbacks to my accommodation. One morning I awoke to find ants nesting in my hair, while the nocturnal journeys of slugs from behind the adjacent bathroom sink gave me frequent ‘Alien’-type nightmares. But Dave had let me stay for free and I was grateful for his generosity. Weeks turned into months; how quick they pass.

Dave had a job as DJ at a city centre basement lesbian nightclub which he kept inviting me to attend. I did visit on one occasion, but was faced with the challenge of convincing two burly doormen that I wanted to enter a female-only club filled with scantily clad women because I said my male friend was working inside. Dave was also the DJ at a packed concert by American drag queen Divine in a huge former cinema, one of the most entertaining events I have attended. My crazy plan was to remain in Tel Aviv by finding a job in the record industry, for which Dave had helped me make contact with people he knew in the business. Pre-internet and pre-mobiles, this required a lengthy wait for replies to handwritten letters.

As summer was hot inside the flat, at the end of the day I would walk the short distance to the end of the street and sit on one of the public seats along the promenade. I could put my feet up on the sea wall, read the day’s ‘Jerusalem Post’ newspaper, watch the sun set over the Mediterranean and cool down in the onshore breeze. One day, a man seated near me asked if he could read my paper when I had finished with it. He spoke in Hebrew and I replied likewise.

By then, I had learnt enough of the language to hold a basic conversation. The frustration of not even understanding destinations displayed on the front of city buses had forced me to learn the Hebrew alphabet and numbers from a schoolbook. Every afternoon I developed my vocabulary by watching ‘Sesame Street’ (‘Rehov Sumsum’ in Hebrew) on television, where the first word I learnt was the ‘dustbin’ in which Grouch (Moishe Oofnik) lived.

I was suspicious of this man trying to strike up a conversation because, weeks earlier, I had been sunbathing alone on Tel Aviv beach when a man came and sat far too close to me on the sand and propositioned me for sex. He appeared to interpret my indignant refusal as merely ‘playing hard to get’ and continued to pester me, so I now avoided the beach and its potential for further unwanted attentions.

Thankfully this man on the promenade seemed different. Because our initial conversation had been in Hebrew, he found it hard to believe that I was not a recent immigrant to Israel struggling to learn my new language. After several rounds of questioning, he was eventually convinced that: I was not Jewish; I was British; I spoke English; and I was Christian. Only once these facts had been established did he have sufficient confidence to identify himself to me as a Christian Palestinian.

“Meet me here at the same time tomorrow,” he told me. “There is something I want to show you.”

Despite an incendiary device having recently exploded at the end of our street, thankfully with no casualties, I decided to risk meeting this man again the next day on the promenade. We walked to a walled compound a few hundred metres away where he spoke Arabic into the intercom, the gate opened and we walked through a garden into a house. He took me inside and knocked on what appeared to be a bedroom door. When it opened, it was immediately apparent that this was no normal small bedroom.

Bunk beds were butted up against each other on three walls of the room, leaving no space in their midst for other furniture. The small window had been covered so that the room was dark except for a single lightbulb on the ceiling. After my entrance, I was being stared at by six men, each sat on their bunk, their sweat thick in this non-air-conditioned room. My guide explained to them in Arabic why I was there, then he turned to address me.

“I wanted you to see how Palestinians have to live in Israel, the same land in which our families were born,” he told me. “Before dawn every day, we are employed outside to clean the beaches, sweep the streets and collect rubbish but, by the time the sun comes up and the crowds come out, we have to make ourselves invisible by returning to accommodation like this. As a fellow Christian, I wanted you to see how we are forced to live in our own homeland so that you can tell people what life is really like in Israel for those who are not Jews.”

A man arrived with a big bag of takeaway food which he started to dole out to each of the men in the room. I wondered to myself if I was to be included in their evening meal and how that could happen when there was no available space for a guest to sit. My guide quickly quashed that notion.

“The men will not eat their food in front of a stranger,” he explained. “We have to go now.”

It had only required a few minutes in that crowded room for the man to have made his point. He was understandably angry about his people’s situation. He told me that, having seen their conditions myself, I now had evidence to refute the disinformation that most of the world believed. We left the compound, he went his own way and I never saw him again.

After several months of messages, letters and calls from public phone boxes, I was finally offered a meeting with the head of an international record company’s Israeli subsidiary in his penthouse flat. There I explained that I had recently secured airplay on British radio for Israeli pop records through my knowledge of the UK radio industry. I believed I could do more like this to develop Israeli music’s presence overseas.

“You should go home,” he told me sternly. “Israel is not the place for you. There is a war going on. The economy is in bad shape. Things are terrible here. Go home and find yourself a job there.”

I departed Israel on the next available flight, disappointed by my failure to secure a job. I left behind an economy with an annual rate of inflation nearing 1,000% and a currency so devalued that it required a thick wad of banknotes just to buy a loaf of bread. Prices in shops had to be updated daily, written on post-it notes stuck along shelf edges. At checkouts, there were insufficient banknotes in tills to provide change, so customers were given the equivalent value in sweets and candies. Coins had become obsolete because they were worthless. I was carrying around several hundred banknotes stuffed down the front of my underpants because my wallet was now too small.

Back in Britain, within three years I had organised the release and promotion of an Israeli record that reached number 15 in the UK singles chart, accompanied by a ‘Top of the Pops’ television appearance. It became the biggest selling Israeli record in Britain since Esther and Abi Ofarim’s ‘Cinderella Rockefella’ in 1968, coincidentally my very first single purchase. Singer Ofra Haza became an international star, later recording songs for a Disney movie. Despite failing to find a job in Tel Aviv, I had managed to successfully pin music from Israel on the ‘world music’ map of the 1980’s.

It was Dave Asher who had first introduced me to Ofra Haza’s music in 1985. Two decades later, his job was presenting the breakfast show on a radio station … in Beirut!

Reigen x !PlatonicReader

How YN meets Reigen in middle school

[Chapter one of chilli flakes !! I expanded YN's character and you can insert yourself into her as much you you please !!]

You can read the entire story that has 13 chapters here

silence.

Things were good, life was good.

At age 10 her mother got her first “special friend” YN was confused but accepted this new development.

He was a nice man, YN often struggled with language class, it didn't help that she wasn't fluent in it, only knowing a few numbers and greetings but he always took some time to help her. 

YN was getting frustrated with the ever changing syllabus in her school, numbers kept getting bigger.

Words were getting longer and more complicated, everything kept changing.

It was only natural of her to accept her dad’s offer to live with him and go to a private school, so she took 4 days to conjure up a letter to break the news to her mother.

The letter wrote.

 

Dear mom, I love you and respect you but i want to live with dad more often NOT BECAUSE YOU BAD CUZ YOU GOOD !! but i feel like i wanna be with dad,school has been getting rough and its okay if you can't afford private school. I’ll only be gone for a short period and then I'll be back.

I promise to visit you during every holiday <3.

 

Her mother looked at the paper confused but it didn't bother her too much as they walked home.

Nothing was wrong, she even told her she was quite mature for YN’s age to be so genuine in the letter, nothing was wrong.

It was night when she realized her mistake 

Don't say things to make mom mad

 

She remembers the plates, the plastic plates coming down on her as she screamed and shouted, yelling hysterics at her.

This was her fault, she made her mad.

She shouldn't have said such things. Nobody helped her, not even her neighbors.

She was at fault, she has done so much for her.

She is at fault for saying such things, nothing was wrong.

She should be happy that the plates were not fine china and were plastic, she would laugh at her own joke if the situation wasn't like this, but it was her fault.

 

h̸͙̜̏̓̏̔͛̿͆̏̑͝͝͝ę̷̯̞̲̖̼͋͑̿͑͛̎̓̎̑̓̅͠r̶̡̢̺̬͔̝͈̘͉̜̉̇̃͒͂͋͜͠ ̷̡̲́́̅̀̿͘͠͝f̷̮̪̱͓͕̗̙̝̬͖͍͛̌͐͒̈́̂̈́̾͘ą̵̧̡̯̟̜̜̤͍̩͚̖̬̙͙̔̅̇̕u̸̫̩̱̬͓̺̫̎̓͑͘l̸̡̤̹̟̆͆̈́̍̄̈́͜͠t̷̮͍̙̜̲̼̪̼͈̱̲͒̎͐͛̚͜

YN wailed wordlessly begging for forgiveness as her mother embraced her crying saying apologies that she immediately forgave.

The hug felt a little less warm than it used to be but she felt safe in her arms.

 -

A new kid had joined the class, he introduced himself, it wasn't all that special but YN made a mental note to invite him for lunch if he was lonely but in the end, he was able to make new friends instantly with his amazing social skills.

Amazing might be a stretch it seemed like he got along with everyone with ease.

He was kinda cool, she guesses. She looked at the school clock reading 12:45, kids over the age of 11 go home later than usual.

Groaning in annoyance she caught the attention of a fellow student who was staring at her weirdly.

YN quickly paid attention to the teacher (but she failed) who was this kid anyways?

Judging her for getting bored in math class, rude. 

Hearing the recess bell was like hearing angels sing a choir to her.

She reached over to her bag and opened her lunch box, ravishing her slice of toast with no crust that she took too much time making in the morning.

Before blessing her umami with the meal she was interrupted by a kid “Hi, I'm the new kid. What's your name?” Oh crap what's his name? she thought eternally.

Rob Araba? no, it's too cool.

Reito Araba ? no, it's too random.

Reigen Arataka? …...no it sounds wrong.

RUBEN ARASHI !! yea that sounded like it was his name.

“Uh…..names YN?”.

“Great, do you like AVAMOB by chance?” That was that old cartoon, right? Scratching her head, it took a while to process his words before it hit her

“WAIT YOU WATCH AVAMOB TOO?! HOW DID YOU KNOW” she said, flailing her arms violently. Her class gave her a quick annoyed glare, she quickly took the hint and lowered her voice, and flailed her arms less violently “how did you even know?”

Reigen placed his fingers to his chin grinning shitlessly “Heh well I guess you can call me a psychic”

 

What

The

Heck

THIS BOY COULD LIKE READ PEOPLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THE COOL MOVIES.

 

YN could not move, she in fact was melting and her classmates were witnessing the death of their fellow classmates.

All of them looked at Reigen for answers as YN slowly ascended from earth but he looked just as confused and shocked as they were.

The class monitor went yelling for a nurse to save the young girl while the young Reigen looked petrified that he killed a girl with his words“TEACHER YN IS MELTING HELLO WHAT DO WE DO”.

Well, his mom always did say he had a way with his words, but he never would have thought that it might kill a girl, let alone his first friend who liked AVAMOB.

-

The nurse's office was uneventful, she gave YN some headache patches and let her rest in the infirmary for the day.

She stared at the ceiling recalling how no one in the school liked the cartoons she liked, usually, it was either UltraMob or some kind of trending band that she wasn't all interested in but Reigen......

He was weirdly cool for liking Avamob and YN quickly decided that she wouldn't kill the boy after she helps him achieve world domination, was that maniacal of her? Maybe, but it's never too early to think about the future.

A gentle knock came from the door interrupting her thoughts.

It was Rebun Arashi.

“H-hey” he was shuffling his tiny feet towards her, his hands clasped against each other nervously while his right leg rubbed on his left leg nervously in anticipation for YN’s reaction.

 

Shaking his nerves away he walks towards the infirmary bed holding out some MnMs, YN tilted her head in confusion.

Was this a peace offering of some kind?

Regardless, the half-conscious girl accepted it with no fuss.

She decided something significant as she ascended to heaven with the candy giving her some strength since she wasn't able to eat lunch.

Ruben Arashi was the greatest guy she's ever been given the chance to know, she never expected a person could be so wonderful.

Oh, and Ruben was a psychic.

He knew her favorite snack was MnM's without guessing.

With that thought, YN quickly grasped her hands towards herself and took a deep breath “Ruben Arashi, would you do the honors of making me your apprentice?!” she said enthusiastically.

The younger boy stuttered backward “Hu-huh? I just w-wanted to give you some snacks after the class monitor carried you here and that's not my name”

The boy was sweating buckets at this point, flustered at the bold announcement yet intrigued.

YN flicked the hair out her face trying to look cool but she ended up with her spitting the sweaty locks out of her mouth

“How did you know I liked AvaMob?? AND LIKED MnMS?!” she moved closer into his personal space looking deep into his eyes, she was ready for him to take a step back but he stood still.

Ruben was so cool to her and if he was truly a psychic, she could become his apprentice and learn the ways of becoming a true psychic herself.

Maybe fly to ‘Ghibli Land’ as she called it.

She can finally be with Haku, her lover and run away.

While YN was fantasizing about her soon depart from Earth Reigen’s thoughts were racing in his mind, he had already given up this chunibyo dream of his becoming someone special with powers.

Wait, did YN want to be special? Did she think he was special?

Both tweens were in deep thought, the dense aura of their thoughts traveled around the school causing a shiver among their classmates.

The girl with bandages wrapped around her head, stood on the cheap lumpy mattress - fist in the air that made her look heroic like ‘SuperMob’ but only this time, she looked way cooler in the eyes of Reigen “RUBEN ARASHI YOU-”.

“Its Reigen, Reigen Arataka”.

She stared at him with annoyance after he interrupted her.

“Whatever Reiben Arataba" He sighs and whispers "Close enough" before YN continues "We shall work together as a team and I , YN LN shall work by your side as your loyal apprentice. Only if you want to” She said the last part rather softly, but before he could even give weight to her sudden outburst YN clasped her hands in his.

‘It's sweaty’ Reigen thought, maybe it was his hands.

Maybe they both had sweaty hands, Reigen internally thought he met his platonic soulmate.

They were gonna be sweat bros for life.

He felt captured by her aura, the optimistic attitude she has.

The way the sun illuminated her skin, acne and all.

Her words captured him like a lasso made out of takoyaki but only this time, it was an endless supply.

Words bubble up from his throat but never seem to pop out of his mouth.

“So what do you think about it, Reigen?” she was still holding his hands.

“I don't see why not” he said in the most cracked-up prepubescent boy voice but YN never noticed, she only smiled with glee and asked for his number. 

Little did YN know that Reigen only knew she liked avamob from her Appa hair clips and everyone loves MnMs, but to YN it wasn't that simple.

She just met a very cool friend that she would be definitely meeting again.

The feeling of warmness inside her begins to grow with joy.

Meeting and Dating Viktor Krum

(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)

- You and Viktor meet when the two competing schools arrive at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament.

- Obviously, you first saw him as you were huddled with your friends during the feast. They whispered eagerly in your ear about him as he marched into the hall and continued to make comments throughout the night. You weren’t nearly as impressed as you probably should have been; though you never were all that into quidditch.

- Viktor first spots you as you’re making your way to class and later as you’re sitting in the courtyard or somewhere similar. He obviously immediately notices that you’re quite pretty but he takes particular interest in you due to the fact that you don’t take particular interest in him.

- There you are, paying him no mind and going about your day as though he’s just some random boy at school. You’re not following him around, giggling and whispering with your friends or otherwise fawning over him. You’re treating him like he’s a normal person; far different from everyone else so far. You’re something he has to work to catch. …You’re his golden snitch.

- Always going where he knows you’ll be, he’ll follow you around as unsuspiciously as possible; oftentimes accompanied by a gaggle of girls who watch him. He usually pretends to be doing things; especially when you look over at him, scribbling wiggles across a piece of parchment or holding a book up; sometimes upside down, as he watches you.

- Each day, he visits your usual hangout spots with the intention of talking to you, but he never actually works up the nerve to do so.

- In the mean time, there’s these moments where the two of you make eye contact and you swear that he has to be interested in you. At first, you have those thoughts with a bit of denial and doubt mixed in but soon enough, even you can’t say that he isn’t.

- He first talks to you when asking you to the ball; which would be a long time coming considering how much time he spent lingering around you.

- He approaches you when you’re both alone, saying your name to get your attention; though he says it like it’s a question since he doesn’t want to seem like he knows your name without having ever spoken to you. You say a somewhat shy “hello” in response and he asks if you’d do the honor of accompanying him to the ball which you obviously agree to.

- When you agree, he gives you a small smile and motions if it’s okay for him to sit down, his heart skipping a beat as you hurriedly move some stuff to give him space. You don't talk all that much but he watches you quite a bit, admiring your features while you’re distracted.

- Rumors may or may not spread before then but they certainly do when you arrive at the ball, holding his hand and dancing with him, having the time of your life. He opens up to you that night, acting far different than what you’d assumed he’d be like.

- The night ends with him walking you to your dorm, giving you a kiss on the hand and saying that he had a “vonderful time.”. You went to bed that night, eager for the morning to come and for you to see the boy once more.

- All was well, except ...an unexpected side-effect of your newfound relationship was that you were chosen by the tournament judges to be his black lake hostage. So, one second you were going about your day, the next you were spluttering and gasping as you reached the surface of the deep waters.

- The two of you catch your breath for a moment before he wraps an arm around you and guides you back to the shore.

- Once you’re back on dry land, he confesses to you that he’s never felt “this way” about a girl before, causing your cheeks to get hot enough that you figured the water would steam right off your skin. Like the gentleman and softie that he is, he keeps asking if you’re okay and checking you over, standing protectively at your side until he’s called over for the final results of the game.

- For your “first” date, you take him to Hogsmeade for the first time and show him around the little village. People obviously stare which initially bothers him, but he soon pays them no mind, focusing solely on you and enjoying your company, living out the thing he’d dreamed of since the moment he saw you.

- When it’s time for him to return to Bulgaria, he gives you a private goodbye, a handwritten letter and an invitation for you to come stay with him over the summer. You can only pray that your parents will let you, giving him a smile as he blows you one last kiss before getting lost in the crowd of students.

- As luck would have it, your parents did let you visit him and you spent a wonderful week in his guest bedroom, having the time of your life with your Bulgarian boyfriend. It was like something out of a dream.

- The two of you share your first kiss about three or so days after you arrived there. He was standing in “your” room, sort of lingering after the two of you finished exchanging goodnights; as though he was debating something in his head. 

- You asked if he was alright and he somewhat snapped out of it, meeting your eyes and nodding. He said goodnight again and turned towards the door before he finally turned back around and walked up to you, taking your face in his hands and leaning in, hesitating for a moment longer before his lips gently met yours. 

- When he finally pulled away, he did so slowly, your lips still tingling as his own pressed against your forehead, murmuring a goodnight against your skin and giving your arm a squeeze right before he finally left the room for good. You went to bed that night happier than you’d ever been and feeling absolutely smitten. 

- The seeker officially had your heart in his hands, …and you had a feeling that you’d had his in yours for even longer. 

- Viktor's a physical being, he loves touching, holding, and showing you off so there’s quite a bit of pda in your relationship. If he isn’t actually touching you then rest assured, he’s standing protectively at your side and paying close attention to you; oftentimes as though there’s no one else around you. 

- Handholding. He has a particular fondness for holding your hand, playing with your fingers or pressing kisses to your knuckles, sometimes just comparing how much bigger his are compared to yours. 

- Soft hugs. He’s a big softie when it comes to you and just loves feeling your arms wrapped around him. 

- Hand kisses. He’s quite fond of them. 

- Kisses on any part of your face that he feels like in the moment. 

- You may or may not have to ask him for a kiss whenever you want one considering how much taller than you he probably is. He always gives you the sweetest little smile whenever you do. 

- Soft kisses. He’s usually pretty gentle and sweet with you no matter what you’re doing. 

- Leaning your head on his shoulder whenever you’re standing or sitting together. 

- The two of you usually cuddle with you nearly laying on top of him, your legs tangled together and his arms wrapped around you. Sometimes his hands will drift to your hair and begin to play with it as you’re doing so, lulling you to sleep if you weren't already. 

- Viktor likes you for you, even if you cant understand why. Your appearance is irrelevant to him, he fell in love with your personality and interests before anything else.  

- Writing to each other during the school year. 

- Visiting each other during summer and your school breaks. 

- Getting spoken to in Bulgarian and occasionally giggling fondly as he messes up English words/names in some adorable way. He doesn’t mind when you “laugh at him” since he loves seeing your smile, and because he thinks it’s cute when you tease him. 

- Considering it’s his first language, he usually calls you some Bulgarian term of endearment, things like lyubima or dushichka, or just your name; probably mispronounced if it’s not easy.

- Helping him with his English and showing him non-Bulgarian things. 

- Your boyfriends a pure blood who goes to a school that only admits purebloods so I’d say that he’s probably clueless when it comes to muggle stuff. So if you’re partially muggle then you have a lot of stuff that you can show him. He also has a bit of stuff that he can show you as well, things most non-purebloods don't know about.

- Checking him over and staying with him after his matches. He always tries to insist that he’s fine, even when he’s spitting out blood that’s coming from his own nose and struggling to look up at you through a black eye. 

- Kissing bruises and tracing scars. He’s always got a fresh set of black and blues after each of his games. 

- Getting taught how to play Quidditch and/or fly like him, you’ll probably have to convince him to teach you how to fly though. 

- Following his games. 

- Practically always having a a ticket to his matches. He’s very fond of seeing you out in the stands or meeting up with you after the game, pressing a kiss to your temple before he heads off to the showers. 

- Always having bragging rights because your dating Viktor fucking Krum. You usually try not to exercise the ability too much, though your friends/family might do it for you. 

- Despite the fact that he’s incredibly skilled on a broomstick, something tells me that he isn’t the most graceful when he’s on the ground. He’s occasionally like a bull in a china shop, clumsily knocking things over; though he does manage to catch them given his set of skills, and/or tripping over things. 

- Viktor has a naturally grumpy face and disposition but you can almost always tell the minute he spots you because of the way he straightens up, his face softening and his lips subtly quirking up. Its really quite sweet to watch. 

- He’s usually pretty taciturn and silent with people but you’re one of the few that he speaks enthusiastically to. The two of you can have long conversations with each other about anything and everything; despite the slight language barrier.

- He watches you a lot, even when you’re doing the most mundane things possible. He just thinks you’re really pretty and is absolutely smitten with you.

- He’s used to people praising him but every once in a while, you’ll give him some sort of compliment and he’ll get a little shy because of it. You always find it funny, watching him try to suppress his smile, scratching the back of his neck and trying to humbly brush off your words. Its cute.

- Being picked up and spun around, particularly in hugs and especially after you haven’t seen each other for a while. 

- Going with him on his walks and watching him train. He likes having you walk beside him in the afternoon/morning so that the two of you can talk while he stretches. 

- Playing in the snow together. He rarely gets cold so he’ll constantly be giving you his hat and similar things when you mention how chilly it is. 

- Dates at tourist attractions and his favorite Bulgarian places. They’re usually cozy, somewhat private areas that the two of you can enjoy each others company in.

- Taking long walks. It’s where you do a lot of your talking; oftentimes finding somewhere or something to do along the way or just continuing to roam around and enjoy each other’s company.

- Going swimming or rowing or maybe ice skating together, depending on the time of year; even though he probably swims in freezing water for fun.

- Hot springs and mountain climbing. He likes impressing you with his country and the different things that you can do there.

- Candle and firelit days/nights. At certain points of the year, his country doesn’t get a ton of light during the day so the two of you huddle by the fire and talk. Sometimes you’ll read to him, other times his family comes in and tells you stories. Regardless, you have very fond memories surrounding fire.

- Being his date for everything. I’m sure that he’s supposed to go to quite a few parties which he always asks you to accompany him to. It’s quite interesting being surrounded by players, coaches and famous people, being hounded by reporters and riding in carriages with him. There was definitely a ton of pictures taken of the two of you during your first outing together.

- He coaxes you into letting loose and having fun. He loves seeing you happy; your smile is his favorite sight in the world.

- A true gentleman. Viktor is always the sweetest with you, pulling out chairs, opening doors, quite literally carrying you over puddles. He knows exactly how to treat a woman and is old fashioned in the very best way. 

- Little gifts. He’ll either send some in the post or present them to you a bit sheepishly yet excitedly when you visit him. 

- Viktor doesn’t really have “true” friends; and he can only see you in person for so long, so when you’re with him, he’s quite clingy and eager to do everything with you; even if it’s just you doing something and him watching. 

- Viktor can get quite jealous but he’s usually pretty reasonable about it, trying his best not to make himself look like a fool. He’ll confront the person he’s jealous of, taking them aside and asking them about their intentions. They’re usually intimidated enough by him to leave you alone after that; if their intentions were to actually get with you. 

- Since he’s kind of a catch, he knows that he doesn't have to be jealous over most people but some people; particularly “pretty boys”, can occasionally catch him off guard. He’ll find himself glaring at them even harder than usual, clenching his jaw until he plasters on a more friendly face when you come to his side. 

- He’s incredibly protective of you, he was even before the two of you actually started dating. He was/is always standing up to people for you, warding them off and defending you; even if you are technically in the wrong. The minute he see’s you, he’s walking up and joining your side, keeping close in case anything happens; and just because he likes your company. 

- The two of you generally don’t fight all that much; you don’t necessarily have enough time with each other to fight. He’ll argue with you, maybe give you the silent treatment if you’re really having a fight but he usually can’t stand to be away from you for too long. 

- Sometimes, in the middle of fighting, he’ll realize that he’s wrong, going quiet and looking at you, blinking a few times before blatantly saying “I’m wrong”, causing you to laugh. He’ll rub his head, furrow his brows and somewhat grimace, saying a “sorry” for whatever it is he did wrong. 

- When you’re having a real fight, you’ll probably be giving each other the silent treatment, even in your letters. Finally, one lone letter comes in and your heart skips a beat against your better judgement.

- If you’re in person with each other then he’ll keep watching you; especially if you’re around other guys, being respectful and giving you your space. The only problem is that he doesn’t know when it’s time to stop and come to you; especially if he wasn’t angry himself. You’ll probably have to approach him first and ask if you can talk so that things can go back to normal. 

- A little ways into your relationship, he’ll drop the first “I love you” and then continue to tell you that he does quite a bit. He’s not an incredibly verbal person but he loves letting you know how much you mean to him; especially if he gets to hear it back. 

- He wanted to marry you practically the minute he saw you so yeah, it’s safe to say that he’s planning out your future together. Your relationship might be a tad bit difficult but honey, he’s going to make it work!
