Un-Abel To Help

Tenzu looks up from their phone, they just got done texting Big Mama about Scylla’s whereabouts. The spider stood against a tree in the cold, holding the two jackets for their sister close to them. They bury the bottom half on their face into the lavender purple scarf they have on and around them. It was freezing out, almost below 10 degrees due to it being late into winter, plus it was night, so that didn’t help.

Two pairs of footsteps could be heard approaching the teen. Tenzu peers to their right to see Big Mama and Miko quickly walking towards them. Both of them have a rather worried look on their faces.

“Come on, let’s go get our Scy.” Big Mama says as she walks up to Tenzu, who turned on their heel to follow her as she kept going.

“How long have you guys been looking for her?” The young spider asks, looking at their Ai.

“Almost three hours now, I’d say.” Miko responds after a moment of thinking. Tenzu wasn’t that surprised honestly, considering it was their parents looking for Scylla. If anything, they admired the commitment from both of them. The commitment due to worry, but still.

It wasn’t the longest trip to the park, it only took about five minutes. When the trio arrived, they spotted Scylla on the bench. In the far back of the park by some trees. Big Mama was about to happily call her name, but was stopped by Miko putting their hand up.

“Wait a minute..” They say, squinting their eyes at the trees, or rather, what was behind the trees. Both spiders look in the direction Miko’s looking in, confused for a moment before all of them see a subtle glow.

“Oh fuck…” Tenzu mumbles, a subtle look of fear in their eyes.

“How wonderful of you to join us.” Scylla’s voice speaks up, causing the trio to focus on her. Tenzu looks her in the eyes, copying her gaze, tilting their head as they notice how off it seems. It wasn’t her speaking, it was Bishop talking to them. “Something wrong, spider?” Bishop asks as a grin forms on his face. Tenzu looks to the side, a sense of frustration building up inside of them.

“Arachne, I think you should let me and Tenzu handle this..” Miko quietly speaks after a moment. Big Mama looked over at them, confused for a moment. Though the more she thought about it, the more it made sense to her.

“If that’s..what you see fit. I trust you on this, both of you.” Big Mama hesitates, but turns and starts to walk away. She pauses for a moment though, glancing back at Scylla. “I’m sorry, honey..” She mumbles to herself as she continues the trip back to the hotel.

“Okay.” Miko quietly says, taking a deep breath and looking at Tenzu. “We shouldn’t stick around long. Especially since Bishop is in control and that..thing, is here.”

“But what about Scy? We can’t just leave her here. That thing could kill her if Bishop stops possessing her, couldn’t it?” The spider speaks in a whisper, a look of worry on their face.

“It wouldn’t, not if Bishop is in her body.” Miko says, shaking their head a bit. Tenzu looks over at both Scylla, or more so, Bishop. They glance up at Abel, who’s still standing behind the trees, but its gaze lingering on the small yokai. He raises an eyebrow at the spider, an unamused and bored look on his face. They turn their attention back to their Ai, silently asking them what to do. Miko opens their mouth to speak, but is interrupted by that pain in the ass ghost, Bishop.

“What do you think you can do to me? Hm?” He asks, that gin only spreads wider on his face. Both yokai look at each other for a second, then look back at Scylla’s possessed body.

“..There’s..nothing we can do. At least, not yet.” Miko says with a glare. Bishop chuckles, shaking his head slightly. Tenzu looks down at the jackets they’re holding, then up at their Ai. “We should…get going, Tenzu. There’s nothing we can do right now.” They say, though the spider can hear a hint of sorrow in their voice as Miko speaks.

“Can I at least…give Scy-Scy her jackets?” Tenzu asks, glancing up at their sister. Miko thinks for a moment, looking at Scylla and Abel. Abel hasn’t moved the whole time, it’s just been standing there, watching the two yokais.

“Um, yeah, sure. Just set them on the seesaw.” The Shibu Inu says, pointing to said seesaw that was between them and the bench Scylla is sitting on. It was a good halfway point. Tenzu gives them a nod and slowly begins walking towards the equipment, looking down at the snow as they do so. They can hear the soft crunch in the snow with each of their steps. It doesn’t take long for them to reach the seesaw. Tenzu lets out a quiet sigh as they look down at it, setting both thick jackets down. They were only able to stand there for a second before they felt themself getting picked up. Miko had thrown them over their shoulder as they bolted in the opposite direction of the park.

“H-Hey, what the!?-” They look up and at the park as it gets further away. What they see is Abel standing right in front of the seesaw, staring them down. Tenzu didn’t even hear it move.

HAMATO LEONARDO FROM RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Justification: “The show is purposefully centered on family and friendship and none of the turtles are ever planned to be in romantic relationships. But for Leo specifically, he is romance repulsed and has been shown to be disgusted by romantic situations multiple times. Also you can color pick the aroace flag from him and Mikey so checkmate.”

Zane and PIXAL get bored so they decide to play chess together

It ends up going for 17 hours and no one is able to checkmate the other

So as to ease the bordem they take it to the Sam-X cave and set the board down next to a broken mech

And let's say Zane moves a piece, now he gets up and starts fixing the mech until PIXAL moves a chess piece herself, in which case PIXAL gets up and starts fixing the mech while Zane thinks about his next move

Eventually the mech is fixed and they move on to building new vehicles, WHILE THIS DAMN CHESS MATCH IS GOING ON

So the days ends and everyone goes to bed, but upon waking up the first thing Zane and PIXAL do is immediately go back to the chess board again which is STILL THERE WITH THE SAME PIECES FROM LAST NIGHT

And the only times they stop is when the others need them for something like a mission or cooking or cleaning, etc

Eventually they take this to a whole new level when they decide to continue the chess match while on missions

The ninja get captured?

"Fuck gotta wait for rescue, in the meantime please excuse me and PIXAL, we're gonna continue our chess match" Zane randomly says while they're all in a cage

So he just sits next to PIXAL and connects with her and they continue the chess match in their own heads

And when they get back to the monastery, they go to the chess board and set the pieces exactly the same way they left them when they continued the match in their heads

It's now been 6 months and the match is still going

Everyone is this close to losing it already with these 2

Meanwhile Zane and PIXAL are genuinely really interested in this and they're having way too much fun

[incarnateirony]

Love Jensen, love CM, love TW, but if Jensen was so supportive of Destiel that he made a series just to address it he could at least be vocal about it on stage at cons. He isn't. He's supportive of family, brotherhood, friends and other people's interpretations but over and over he shows how he doesn't interpret Destiel as romantic. It's actually insane to think he's in ninja secret mode just to have Destiel be the point of TW and I beg anyone watching TW expecting a Destiel resolution to stop.

Are we still spinning our gears on "Why doesn't jensen just tell us the ending, checkmate?" and pretending that's a reasonable challenge? Because you guys have tried this like 4 times and it's funny every time no matter how many ways you try to roll it like you can't see the rainbows and clowns on main.

i don't care what angle or voice you try to spin your troll anons in man, it's time. just like. cope.

it's you guys hitting a reality wall. antis screamed delusional for years. But every squawk against this show has fallen flat. And now it premieres, Dean a beacon of rainbow on pilot night, and literal destiel clown parallel retweets by the hundreds on main socials; led by renee reiff, the heavy hitter of gay DC Jensen hired in to queer structure his company with and lean his career on with open reign from Zaslav and Roth and Nexstar begging for whatever brings in ratings, and you're realizing it.

It's delusional to deny what's happening now. So you're just going to roll the same stupid questions over and over until the end, "why won't he tell us the end?" like a whiny toddler. Jesus christ you're the annoying kid in Princess Bride.

The roads we take by ToTheStarsWriting | 40.9 k words | Complete

A person's life is made up of a series of moments, of choices. What we do in those moments, what choices we make, can change the road ahead of us. In one world, Alec never met Lydia Branwell, not until she came to take over his Institute, setting them on a path toward a wedding that would never be, and a love for Alec that was worth everything.

In another world, those two met much, much earlier, and that single meeting, that one single moment, was enough to change everything. Well, almost everything.

When a moment of weakness revealed the one secret that Alec had been trying so desperately to keep, and revealed it to the very last person he'd wanted to see it, a fifteen-year-old Alec found himself being shipped off to the Lisbon Institute under the guise of studying and learning to improve his tactical planning. None of them could've anticipated what he might find there, or what things it might change.

“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”

Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.

“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

The first thing Steve removes from his room is the random framed photograph of a car.

Before Steve realizes what he’s doing, he’s snatched that photo off the wall. It comes off easily, the only thing holding it in place is a nail haphazardly hammered into the wall. Picture in hand, Steve doesn’t pause to think, letting his body take over as he rushes down the stairs.

Steve stalks downstairs, wrenches open the back door, and smashes that obnoxious picture to the ground.

Or, Steve hates his room. He decides to change that.

Would You Come Home? by s6115 | 46.9 k words | Complete

Jiang Cheng wrote three times a year for over a decade and a half requesting that Lan Sizhui come and visit. Finally, at nineteen, arrived, having absolutely no clue why the sect leader would want him to come.

Suddenly, Lan Sizhui finds himself in the home of the father he'd forgotten, but surrounded by his things. Can he unravel the mystery of who his father was? With his friends, can he even find a way to bring him back from the dead?

Clash Clans:

Clash of Clans is a free-to-play, strategy mobile game released in 2012 by Supercell. Clash of Clans allows the player to build a base of their own design, train troops and attack other player's bases to gain materials to improve the defense of one's own base and get trophies to move up the in-game leaderboard. Players can also form together in a clan to compete against other clans to get to the top of another leaderboard. During later stages of the game, base upgrades require many materials and take many real life days to complete; enticing the player to spend money to make it faster.

The main selling point of the game is that it appeals both to the players who want to spend time carefully designing a sound base and those who just want to climb the ranks aggressively.

Bloons TD:

Bloons is a free-to-play, strategy mobile game released in 2007 by Ninja Kiwi. The main gameplay loop in Bloons is that enemy balloons will float along a track and the player must stop them before they go off the screen by deploying dart-throwing monkeys and other towers to pop the balloons. The player will receive in-game money to spend upgrading the power of the towers and to deploy more of them. Though it is a simple concept, it is executed well with many different types of towers and balloons, with upgrades that can drastically change the role the towers perform. The game is challenging, with many different waves and balloons that'll scale with the current wave.

Achikaps:

Achikaps is a free-to-play, strategy / survival mobile game released in 2016 by solo developer - Ivan Yakovliev. The main aim of Achikaps is to build a base, upgrade it, fend against attackers and expand your base. To build most structures, the player must use a varied amount of materials gathered by other structures. There are people roaming the base that must be given roles on what to do (like working at the structures, bringing materials to the structures and defending the base). The game received its popularity as it was fairly simple and the art style reflected that, as the sprites are all lines and multi-coloured shapes. A trend with Yiotro's (Ivan Yakovliev) games are that they have no advertisements or microtransactions.

Antiyoy:

Antiyoy is a free-to-play, turn-based strategy mobile game produced by Ivan Yakovliev in 2015. Currently Yakovliev's most successful game, it's gameplay is very simple while still being a challenge. The main aspect of the game is taken part on a hexagonal grid where the player must expand their kingdom while keeping their money at a positive. The player can use troops to uncover tiles to build on and claim while an enemy player or AI is doing the same. The troops work in a tier-based system where peasants can claim unprotected tiles, spearmen can claim tiles protected by the castle and can kill peasants, knights can claim tiles protected by a level 1 tower and can kill spearmen, and swordsmen can claim any tile and can kill knights and other swordsmen. Each turn the player will gain money based on how big their land is and how many troops they have - if the money gained next turn is negative, all of that player's troops will die (higher tier troops cost more each turn). The game ends when only one player remains.

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate:

Shotgun King is a turn-based, roguelike, strategy game developed by Punkcake Delicieux in 2022. The game takes a spin on the classic game of chess where the player plays as the king... who also has a shotgun. The waves get harder as the player is forced to pick one of 3 cards that come with a positive and a negative trait at the end of a wave. The game follows the traditional chess rules where the king can only move one square from their origin, while the other pieces follow their classic move patterns. The game ends when the player is taken by another piece and therefore checkmated. The player can either move or attack before their turn ends.

The game is so popular due to its unusual twist on the classic chess board game, by turning it into a roguelike.

I am looking into this game solely because of the card mechanic at the end of a wave, I find it interesting that it makes the player and the enemies stronger and think it could be something to include in my game.

Jadakiss "Checkmate" (2005)

Target: 50 Cent

Producer: Alchemist

Album: N/A

Label: N/A

Best Line: "Yeah, you got a felony, but you ain't a predicate/Never the King of New York, you live in Connecticut"

After 50 viciously attacked Jadakiss on "Piggy Bank" (and portraying him as a Ninja Turtle in the video), J to the Muah fired back with "Checkmate," a strategic response record, focusing on 50's public shortcomings. The track was filled with quotables, with Kiss alluding to 50 being a snitch, having the weakest flow in G-Unit, and asks what's so cool about being shot nine times and not shooting back.

The Mindful Magic: 7 Playful Ways to Channel Your Inner Zen Throughout the Day

Hello, my lovely Zen-seekers! Are you tired of feeling like you're constantly racing against the clock, navigating an endless to-do list, and drowning in a whirlpool of distractions? Fear not, for I bring to you 7 delightful ways to inject some serious mindfulness into your day-to-day, all with a sprinkle of wit and whimsy, of course! So take a deep breath, slow your scroll, and embark on this life-changing journey with me.

The Early Bird: Say hello to Mr. Sunshine and start your day by tuning into your body's natural rhythm. Throw open the curtains, greet the sun with a warm smile, and become one with your inner worm. Set aside 5-10 minutes to stretch, meditate, or simply focus on your breath. It's a small price to pay for serenity, my friends.

The Mindful Nibbler: Eating your meals doesn't have to be a race against the proverbial clock. Engage your senses, appreciate the colors, aromas, textures, and flavors, and chew your food like you're cracking a top-secret code. This not only aids digestion, but it also allows you to savor every morsel while being present in the moment. Who knew something as simple as eating could be so utterly divine?

The Commute Guru: Your daily commute might be a pain in the rear (figuratively speaking, of course), but that doesn't mean you can't transform it into a mindfulness retreat on wheels (or sneakers, or bus seats). Focus on the sensations around you—the hum of the engine, the rhythm of your footsteps, or the swaying of the bus—and immerse yourself in the present. Namaste, traffic jams.

The Ninja of Nice: Mindfulness isn't just about paying attention to yourself; it's also about spreading kindness and warmth to those around you. Make it a mission to bestow a compliment, flash a smile, or offer a helping hand to someone each day. Notice how good it feels to make someone's day just a little bit brighter—you'll be floating on a cloud of Zen in no time!

The Multitasking Myth-Buster: Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is often counterproductive. Channel your inner one-task warrior and focus on completing each task with undivided attention. This not only leads to higher productivity but also creates a more mindful, stress-free environment. Checkmate, chaos!

The Workday Wanderer: Trade your coffee break for a stroll outside or take a mini-adventure around your office. Use this time to clear your mind, focus on your breath, and observe the world around you. Who knows, you may even stumble upon a hidden Narnia-esque paradise behind that janitor's closet!

The Gratitude Guru: End your day with a hearty dose of gratitude. Take a moment to reflect on the positives, big and small, and jot them down in a gratitude journal. Watch as your perspective shifts and the world becomes a kinder, gentler place—one that you can't help but be mindful in!

There you have it, my fellow Zen-seekers! These 7 quirky, yet surprisingly effective, mindfulness hacks are sure to help you stay present, centered, and ready to take on the world with your newly polished inner Zen. So why not give them a whirl and see what wonders await you? Happy mindfultivating! 🌟
