#No1 Temple Way

[richwall101]

The Bristol United Press Building - Temple Way - Bristol UK

The Bristol United Press building was built for the publishing and printing of newspapers owned by the Bristol Evening Post Group, which included the Bristol Evening Post, The Western Daily Press, the New Shopper and the New Observer. It was also the headquarters of the Evening Post.

Colin Beales had the position of ‘deputy group architect’ and John Collins was the leader with the title, ‘group architect’. They were both part of the Group Architects DRG that was appointed to design this building in March 1966. Colin suggested the collective name, “Group Architects”. The construction began in December 1970 and was completed in September 1974.

The architects received Commendation from the Royal Institute of British Architects Architecture Award in 1975.

The last of the three images here shows the BUP Building now as it has been redeveloped as a major research hub to be known as No1 Temple Way

So I got a bug where Astarion brought his book into the Bhaal temple:

Needless to say it sparked a whole headcanon of Astarion being the person who brings a book everywhere. Even when there's no way he'll get a chance reading it. Book must come for emotional support.

Imagine after defeating Orin everyone is tending to their wounds, rescuing the kidnapped party member, Tav looting - Astarion sits down on the stairs inmidst of blood puddles opening a book.

"Astarion, can we go?"

"Just another chapter, darling."

Imagine him saying "hm?" after the third time you try to talk to him because he's so lost in his book.

Imagine him reading whilst walking.

Reading being his No1 coping strategy because his head finally shuts up when filled with words from a page.

What was your writing-highlight this year?

I am not going to surprise anyone when I say that I was riding high on that idiotic tollbooth chapter. Both because that chapter really clicked in the process and because people were super kind in their response to it! i had a lot of fun working out the moment-by-moment with my brother. I'd say it's probably one of the better comedic attempts I've made - I hadn't really tried to be funny on the page in a while, and compared to my usual, it worked. And I was also really proud of the way it had a bit of heart, and I managed to make a major tonal shift kind of work without giving mood whiplash at the end of the scene. And @captmickey made an amazing full page comic of the part where No1 calls Graham out, and that was so kind, it knocked my socks off. It's always especially satisfying when a scene you put a lot of care into lands, so - yeah. It wasn't a perfect scene by any stretch, but it did everything it needed too, and that is tremendously satisfying.

9. Create a meme or moodboard that captures your past writing-year!

OK, this isn't going to be a pretty, cohesive moodboard, because I can get perfectionistic. So here's something for every story I worked on in a significant way this year.

"Always at Hand"

"The Snow Moon Temple"

"Priorities"

"Having a Blast"

"With More Heart"

"Pixilation"

"Path of Kingship"

"Popping Corks"

"Pirate Monks"

"Everything Changes"

"The Best Watch"

"The Brilliant Hour"

"Birthday Tradition"

"At a Standstill" (with @gerbiloftriumph)

"The Iron Gate"

"Mind Reading"

"Asleep and Awake"

"Lost"

"Scraps and Patches"

PIRATES!!! (with @gerbiloftriumph)

"Christmas in Morceaux: Charles Bardin"

11. Which scene was harder/easier to write than anticipated?

All the non-KQ ones, and also the Clockett chapter from Path of Kingship.The previous chapters had flowed so well, I thought I was on a real roll! And then everything ground to a halt during that chat in the stable, and I had *many* drafts, and much back and forth with Gerbil (thank you!) Also, evidently, the next chapter of Path of Kingship. I fell off my groove. But the other day my brother came and told me, "I'd really like to see what happens next in Path of Kingship." And I gave him a big hug and said I'd try if he'd talk it over with me. So here's hoping for 2025!

13. How did you change as a writer?

I realized I had stopped caring about publishing, and can share any writing I want without having to worry I'll spoil my chances if anyone can find it online. This is liberating, and will maybe pave the way for good things in the new year.

Buddy cop escapades with mace and force ghost Anakin.

Anakin intrupts palpatine and Mace's fight as per cannon but palpatine accidentally kills Anakin as he walks in. Palpatine is furious. Mace manages to escape in the confusion. He manages to get to the undercity but he is severely injured and passes out as soon as he gets to a place of saftey.

He wakes to.....skywalker??? Are you... why are you glowing like that?

You can see me? Interesting. No other jedi has been able to see me and nor have any non force sensitive.

At this mace tries to get up and go to the temple, Anakin has to break the news about order 66. Anakin tried and failed to intervene. He shows mace the beacon left by obi wan (he's been asleep a while I don't know lol) and mace realises there's no more he can do on coruscant and he needs to escape the planet so he can regroup and bring down palpatine.

Time skip, mace is living out of some abandoned jedi temple with only Anakin for company. Anakin is very irritating.

Another time skip, Anakin and mace are unaffiliated with the rebellion (mace doesn't realise any other jedi survived, he feels serious guilt about having led the jedi to order 66 and so doesn't want to endanger the rebellion) but are the empires no1 irritation. They foil so many of the empires plans but nobody knows who they are. (Surely one person can't cause that much damage??? It must be a group.... no its just one very powerful former master of the order and his overpowered force ghost shadow). The empire are confused and frustrated. The rebellion are confused and grateful.

Next we see the above from the view of the rebellion leadership. Enter, the rebellions close ally, president amidala of tattoine (she did not want this role but the people of tattoine begged her to and so she agreed short term whilst they where stabilising) stabilising from what you ask? From the slave uprising. Literally, obi wan and padme have seen Anakins body. Know he is dead at the hands of the emperor and go a bit off... in their grief. We know they are both quite fond of dramatics and obi wan has already lost so much. Now the whole jedi order and the boy he raised??? Maybe things would have gone differently had he spoken to yoda on coruscant but instead he only speaks to padme. They decide to free tattoine in Anakins honour. Yes padme is pregnant. No it doesn't stop her. She keeps out of the fighting and leads, obi wan is more than happy to do the legwork on planet in her place. They are in constant comms contact throughout. Yes they have become incredibly codependent in their grief. Everything they do just orbits around this great lack that is left in Anakins place. They are like power siblings. Everyone they meet assumes that they are bio brother and sister. They are scarily intense and competent.

Anyway, they free tattoine. Padme unwillingly takes over leadership. The hutts go running. The empire don't dare go near them (that's a problem for after they've dealt with the rebellion). They are definitely allies of the rebellion but they don't really care much for the empire and so hear nothing of Mace's (very Anakin like) escapades. They are too busy expanding their new state of free peoples across the outer rim and all the planets they had not been able to help while in the republic (definitely needs stating that obi wan and padme are NOT OK. Like Luke and Leia are being raised well but everything else is off the table. Politics wise they do what they want. Their egos are off the board. They will help any oppressed peoples they feel like and they will do it how they want. Politicians are all terrified of them. The only people who are not are the slaves and all those who where at the bottom of the pecking order who are now being empowered and freed no matter who it inconveniences and how many rich people lose money. Obi wan is definitely not acting as a jedi.

The reason the rebellion are contacting padme is they are warning them that the empire is on its way. Obi wan and padme went a step too far when they added mandalore to their collection of freed planets. The empire want it back. (Don't worry. Padme and obi wan are prepared. They do not shy of violence in defence of their wards and they see all these planets as their wards (at least until they can convince the freed slaves to run their own planets that is (the slaves see no such need. Obi wan and padme are doing a fine job )))

Mace and Anakin hear of a empire attack and travel to mandalore to do their thing (they have no idea about padme and obi wan. They keep out of politics and just work in the shadows of the empire messing things up. They both still think mace is the only jedi. Mace just lives like a hermit in the abandoned temple until the weird radar equipment that he built under Anakins instructions, informs them of troop movement/ship moment in which case they move in that direction ready to wing it Anakin style and ruin some imperials day.)

Mace goes to do their usual, incognito messing up imperial forces enmass before the attack and bumps in to Obi wan who is also trying to sabotage. Its like that spiderman pointing fingers but only Mace can see Anakin. Mace is like a jedi??? Obi wan is like Mace???? Anakin is like Obi wan!!!! Tell him Mace! Tell him I'm here!!!!

Mace is the voice of reason and is like... let's not distracr him mid attack. We'll sit him down after and tell him. Afterall you are dead and he can't see you, it's not like it's great news. I doubt he took your death very well. Anakin is like fair and The 3 of them ruin the imperials day together all the same.

They regroup after and obi wan invites them back to his home planet to catch up. something about Obi wan just seems off so Anakin and mace decide to hold off on the reveal once they know Obi wan is safe. Mace and Anakin are a bit like?? What isn't he saying. He's talking around something. Mace is like so where are you living these days obi wan. Obi wan is like long story.....tattoine. Anakin is immediately like ok weird choice but mystery solved. He's just a bit sun mad! Nothing wrong with obi wan at all just a bit too long spent on tattoine. Mace is like.... look let's just talk to him once we are there (and we can check his home situation is settled and safe and he isn't going to go all self sacrificing in Anakins honour or something)

They get to tattoine. Obi wan and padmes whole, planet conquering, slave Freeing, thing is revealed. Anakin is like heart eyes, they did it for me. They are all crazy violent and Codependent because they love me!!! Mace is like alarm bells ringing. He talks Anakin down and Anakin sees that OK yeah this maybe isn't great. They have gone a little off the deep end. They both agree that padme and obi wan definitely need to know about Anakin but they need to tell them in a way that isn't going to have obi wan turning to some ancient force temple to look for some suspicious ritual to bring Anakin back to them. So they (mace) sit them both down and calmly explain the sich and why Anakin doesn't want them to conquer every planet in the galaxy in his name (Anakin agrees to this eventually, many years with mace as his only company has made him a lot better at seeing the consequences of actions) and that Anakin definitely does not want any risky ancient magics to be used to pull him back in to the land of the living. Whilst he would love for them both to see him again, that avenue can be explored slowly and in reasoned steps, with meditation maybe they can work towards obi wan seeing him? And Actually Anakin thinks he rather suits being dead and does obi wan know that qui gon is pottering around watching over the twins?

After this, Anakin and mace join padme and obi wan living with the twins and they now know, qui gon. Anakin, qui gon and Mace's main role in the family unit ends up being reigning in obi wan and padme. Anakin can't believe he's become the sensible one. Clearly mace is to blame. They take obi wan and padme through their 12 step 'so you've become a autocrat, yes you are well loved and helping people but let's take a step back, yeah' detox plan and help obi wan and padme see that they can't fix the whole galaxy and actually if they let people help themselves, they have actually set up quite a few domino's to keep this train moving. Eventually they manage to convince obi wan and padme to hand over the reigns and help convince the newly freed citizens to take them.

The 7 of them move to Anakin and Mace's abandoned temple. The twins grow up in peace with a rather unconventiomal family consisting of their own jedi master, a uncle, their mum and 2 force ghosts. The empire falls without them. Padme and obi wan showed people what it was to be free and their work carried on without them (a bit less violently for the people who had been in places of power in the old order of things). After the empire falls and the force begins to clear, jedi trickle in to the new home they've built and mace sees that he is far from the last. the force guides more and more jedi home (afterall, home is not a place but a people) bringing them to the heart of the order, a once abandoned temple now filled with light

Mace knows that family is more than a lineage but he does feel one more piece click in to place when he sees his padawans padawan step off their landing platform. Mace's past and present finally coming together, he is able to teach caleb all that he has learnt of attachment since they last met (for this new age of jedi have seen all the good attachment to others can bring and also all the bad, mace would not have survived without Anakins companionship all these years but they have seen what Obi wan and padmes love for Anakin wrought and it could have done so much worse) in the old world no jedi would admit that any sentient deserved what padme and obi wan delivered. In this world, mace admits that he is glad they found a target who's downfall helped so many others. The order has had its eyes opened to the shades of grey that fall between good and bad and they know that there is no drop that one may not climb back from. This is a more forgiving order and it is also one that can be harder to live in. There is more work to be done on oneself and less of a steel dogma to hide behind. They ask their members to take on the responsibility of choosing what is best and admitting when they should have chosen differently. Repentance is no easy hill to climb and yet it is one that is open to all.

It is different. It is so different. They have lost so much but also they have gained something that they probably would have never found has things stayed the same. Mace grieves, but also, as he looks down on what they have built from the rubble, he is filled with a feeling of contentment so great he can barely hold it.

Ignored by Hyung

Yoongi had been feeling a bit off all week. At first he thought that he might have been overdoing it after recovering from his surgery. However this morning, he woke up with a dull ache at his temple and a tickle in the back of his throat he couldn't seem to clear. Yoongi had gotten sick.

As Yoongi sat up, he could feel mucus that had been sitting in his sinuses and throat shift. He tried to clear his throat to help in swallowing it, but wound up bent at the waist harshly coughing into his fist. He did his best to keep the fit as quiet as possible because, upon looking at the clock, it was only five in the morning meaning the others were most likely still asleep. Yoongi sighed as he realized he wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep and at the fact that he was pretty sure he should sit out of their schedules today. He decided he would talk to Jin about it once everyone was awake. Namjoon already had enough to deal with as is, so he decided talking to his hyung was the best choice.

Yoongi had managed to drift into a dozing state, but was startled awake to the sound of someone knocking on his door. “Wake up hyung it’s time for breakfast.” Yoongi responded with a low hum, not fully trusting his voice quite yet. He once again tried to clear his throat, which once again resulted in a coughing fit. He got out of his bed and walked to his door. Right before he could open his door, Yoongi felt an intense prickle form in his sinuses. He quickly turned to the side and bent forward “Hihktkschh” Yoongi sniffled as he left his room, hoping to be able to rest for the day instead of attending his schedule.

Yoongi saw that the others were already sitting at the table eating their breakfast and was a little disappointed to see that it was toast and bacon. Normally he wouldn’t really care about what was being served, but with how his throat was feeling, he had been hoping for softer foods. He made his way to the kitchen to make himself some tea then sat down at the table with his mug.

He sat in the open seat next to Jin, who appeared to be having some kind of debate with Jungkook over something he didn’t have the mental capacity to understand at the moment. Yoongi took a sip of his tea before deciding to talk to his hyung. He tapped Jin on the shoulder. “Hyung,” Yoongi immediately cleared his throat upon hearing how bad his voice sounded. “I don’t f-” “Not now Yoongi, Jungkook is being a little shit and refusing to admit that he is wrong and that a hotdog is a sandwich not a taco.”

Yoongi was caught off guard by both Jin cutting him off and the idiocy of the topic that was being discussed. He was about to try again, but then the other members had overheard what Seokjin had said and all of them got involved in the debate. Yoongi sighed as resigned himself to having to go into work and began eating his breakfast, clearing his voice several times throughout, but going unnoticed by everyone at the table.

About halfway through eating his toast, Yoongi accidentally inhaled some of the crumbs, throwing him into a fairly intense coughing fit. The others barely spared him a glance, still debating about food. They had moved on from ‘is a hotdog a taco’ to ‘is cereal soup’.

Yoongi finished his breakfast, then got up and went to get ready for the day. He took his clothes to the bathroom, and was feeling crappy enough that he decided to take his temperature. He sighed when he noticed that it was a fraction of a degree below being a fever. He knew he should stay home and rest, but with the others ignoring him intentionally or not, he figured it would be better to just go to work with the others.

As he was brushing his teeth, the vibrations from his electric toothbrush in his mouth began to irritate his nose. The smell of mint from the toothpaste wasn’t helping any either, and he had to quickly spit out what was in his mouth before sneezing. “Hiktschh, hehUGHschh” The two sneezes kind of ripped out of his throat, which left him doubling over coughing for a solid minute

The coughing had loosened something in his sinuses and his nose was now running, so Yoongi took a couple sheets of toilet paper and blew his nose before finally leaving the bathroom to wait for the others. Yoongi decided to go to the kitchen and fill up his water bottle as well as make more tea to put in a thermos so that he would have something to hopefully soothe his throat throughout the day.

When he left the kitchen the others were almost ready to leave, everyone was getting their things on and making sure they had everything. Yoongi put the water bottle and thermos in his bag then put his shoes on before leaving with the other six members.

In the van, Yoongi could feel a tickle building in the back of his throat and tried to clear it away. It didn’t work, and he wound up doing his best to muffle a fit into a sleeve covered fist. He looked up, hoping that maybe someone noticed, but all six members were either immersed in their phones or continuing to talk about food, which had now turned into whether pizza is an open faced sandwich or a salad. Yoongi just sighed and decided to rest his head against the window, hoping the cool glass would alleviate his headache a bit. He quickly regretted it, the bouncing of the vehicle making his headache worse.

By the time they arrived at the company building, Yoongi was wishing that he had just gone back to bed without acknowledging anybody. He just wanted to go back to sleep. The first item on the agenda for the day was vocal practice, and Yoongi was determined to do as little rapping or singing as possible. He knew that if he tried to do anything more than maybe one verse, he’d end up in another coughing fit. Which he didn’t want to deal with because of how much it hurt.

As he predicted, Yoongi could barely get through one verse before he had to turn away to cough harshly into his fist. Somehow the others, who were just outside of the recording booth, hadn’t seen or heard his fit, so he just took a swig of water and continued. Once his turn at vocal practice was over, Yoongi was feeling even more exhausted and didn’t think he would be able to get through the dance practice they were going to have in two hours.

He tapped Seokjin’s shoulder again, “Hyung, I d-don’t hih-ktschh, heh-tschh, hihs-stieschh.” Seokjin turned his attention to his oldest hyun on the third sneeze. “Bless you Yoongi, your voice sounded a little rough today, you might want to do more warm ups next time.” Yoongi just nodded, resigned to the fact that Jin wasn’t willing to hear him out. He sat through the others doing their vocal practice and left a couple of times when he felt a couple of nasty coughing fits approaching.

By the time dance practice rolled around, Yoongi was pretty much feeling dead on his feet and was wondering how the others had yet to notice his steadily worsening condition. He trudged along with the others to the dance studio, just wanting to get things over with. Unfortunately, they were doing run-throughs of their more involved choreographies today. Yoongi was sure he wasn’t going to make it through the practice without something happening.

They had just finished practicing Fire and were now taking a five minute break. Yoongi decided to just lean against the wall and close his eyes for a minute, just to get his bearings again before they move on to the next song.

The other six members were sitting down in a circle, when Jungkook suddenly stood up and ran over to Yoogi exclaiming “HYUNG!!” The others startled as they watched Jungkook sprint over to Yoongi and catch him as he slumped to the ground. They all immediately got up and went to check on the eldest rapper.

“Hyungs, I think he has a fever.” Jungkook said as soon as the others finished coming over. “Why don’t you think he told anybody that he was feeling sick? He must have been feeling bad if he passed out.” Namjoon said, very much concerned. Suddenly soft snores could be heard coming from the second oldest, which caused Taehyung to start laughing a little. “I think hyung might have fallen asleep.”

They all felt a little better at the thought that Yoongi fell asleep rather than fainted, but there was still the matter that he was sick. The others were contemplating whether or not to Yoongi, when he began to stir. He sat up coughing and took a second to catch his breath once the fit ended. He was handed a bottle of water and took a couple of swigs before looking up. “Is our break over yet?”

He heard a snort as Hoseok and Jimin helped him up. “Technically yes, our break is over hyung. However, we are going back to the dorm and you are going to bed to rest. Why didn’t you tell us that you’re sick?” Yoongi quickly faced downward as he was overcome with a harsh double sneeze which morphed into another coughing fit. He was glad that he was being held up, because he was certain that he would have fallen over otherwise.

“I didn’t want to bother you because you're so busy with everything, and I didn’t feel right about otherwise bothering my dongsaengs with my problems.” Yoongi was overcome with more coughing and before he could continue, Namjoon interjected. “Okay, but why didn’t you go to Seokjin hyung then?” “I tried, but hyung wouldn’t let me speak. Also I’m impressed it took you guys so long to realize I'm sick. I’ve literally been coughing all day.”

Everyone stared at Yoongi like he’d grown three heads. “Okay now we’re all definitely going back to the dorm to dote on Yoongi hyung.” Hoseok said. As they were heading out, Jimin spoke up. “By the way hyung, it looked like you fainted for a second there, but then you started snoring, so did you faint or fall asleep?” Yoongi pondered for a minute, “Honestly, I’m pretty sure I fell asleep, although falling asleep while standing is a new one for me.” The others chuckled at that as they piled into the van.

Once they got back to the dorm, Hoseok and Jimin helped Yoongi get to the couch, then went to grab some blankets so the older could just camp out in the living room for a few hours instead of being cooped up in his room. Seokjin went straight to the kitchen to make soup, Jungkook was in the living room with Yoongi getting a movie set up. And Namjoon was on the phone with their manager getting Yoongi’s schedule worked out so that he could stay home and get some rest.

Once everyone was settled back in the living room, Jungkook started up the movie. Namjoon managed to get Yoongi an entire week off and arranged everyone else’s schedules to be staggered so that Yoongi wouldn’t be in the dorm by himself. Everyone also thoroughly apologized to Yoongi for not noticing his ailment, but Yoongi was having none of it. “It’s fine guys, I mean you were having some pretty serious debates. By the way, as long as the bun is fully intact a hot dog is a taco.” That immediately got everyone riled up again and Yoongi was laughing so hard that he started coughing again, which immediately shut them up.

[kursed-curtain]

(A Werewedzel AU fic.)

The Beast had escaped, which was bad news for anyone who knew about it. The thing is, the only people who knew about it were Kyle and Larry, and now a confused No1.

The first night Kyle and Larry discovered the Beastie was on night patrol, roaming the hallways. They passed by the cellar door and heard a monstrous roar echo from down below. Curiosity got the best of both of them, so they stepped into the cellar. That's when they saw the monster's terrifying glowing eyes. Not wanting to be made into lunch, they shut the cellar door behind them. "Was that a snute?" Kyle huffed. Larry facepalmed. "Snutes don't growl like that, Kyle." "Yeah, but still!" The two sat in front of the cellar door, pondering horrible scenarios. They concluded that if they didn't feed the ravenous beast, it would probably start feeding on the castle staff instead. So they grabbed the nearest meat, a raw salmon they'd found in the kitchen, and threw it into the cellar. That quieted the beast for the night. One night turned into a routine, practically a ritual, where they fed the monster in the cellar out of concern for everyone else in the castle. They recalled that one morning, after feeding the Beastie, they bumped into Graham. He looked like he didn't get a wink of sleep - which the two of them suspected was the Beastie's fault, with how much of a ruckus it caused. Yet, when they asked if it was the beast's fault, Graham had no idea what they were talking about. They guessed that was good in its own way. That meant Kyle and Larry had kept the beast a secret, keeping the castle safe. Kyle and Larry recounted all this to No1, on the night they found the cellar door open and empty. No1 rubbed his temples. "Are you sure the beast wasn't just some animal that got trapped down there?" Larry nodded furiously. "It didn't sound like an animal, with how it growled-" "-and howled!" Kyle added. "And howled, it didn't sound like something natural!" No1 sighed. "And you never bothered to tell anybody else because…?" Well, they didn't know exactly why. "...To make sure people wouldn't panic?" "Like how you two have been?" Oh. No1 stood up and decided to investigate for himself. Kyle and Larry trailed behind him. They passed by the kitchen door when they heard the crashing of pots and pans. No1 opened the door a crack. "Be careful in there, sir!" Larry called. Just as he suspected, there was a wedzel wolf raiding the pantry. Currently, it was tearing at one of the tougher steaks. At the sight of No1 and his warding lantern, the wedzel wolf snarled and barked, baring its teeth. However, it didn't run away like No1 was used to seeing. A stubborn one, the worst kind of wolf. As he thought up a game plan, he found Kyle and Larry weren't fully wrong. The wolf was being particularly noisy and, without the light streaming in, had fur the same color as the shadows. Notably it had the 'terrifying glowing eyes', a shade of piercing blue. A shade of a… familiar sort of blue. No1 remembered that evening, where he had encountered the young knight wandering the castle halls without his usual garish cloak - he looked bare without it. Graham yelped and swung around even before No1 had approached. "Good evening, Sir Graham." Graham practically looked like he had seen a ghost, yet he forced a smile. "G-good evening." "I do hope I'm not interrupting, however I noticed you decided on not wearing your typical garb, Pockets." "Oh, oh that…" His hands reached for the hem of his cloak - at least, where it usually was. "I… it, the cloth was getting to me." "'Getting to you?'" "Yeah it was… t-the material was too much. It felt like… like a lot." First he insists on wearing the cloak constantly, now he can't stand it. Truly an anomaly. No1 saw Graham fidget with the wrists of his bracers. His eyes darted around, back and forth. Noticing how off this all was, No1 tried piecing something together. "Are you… expecting something?" Graham's eyes widened. "I, well I guess I-" He winced, seemingly from nothing. He glanced out the window, then turned on his heel and dashed away. "Very sorry, bye!" What an odd encounter. Practically took the wind out of No1. Hesitantly, he went back to work. No1 hadn't seen Graham

ever since. Then there was the wolf, with those same frightened eyes. He formed the most preposterous idea yet, the idea of a bit of superstitious folklore being true. Yet… It would make sense. "...Pockets?" The wolf stopped barking, his ears settled, though he was still in a defensive position. No1 stepped closer, which backed the wolf further into the corner. The wolf shivered, shaking his head. No1 looked down. He was still gripping the lantern, his only shield from a wedzel wolf attack. He looked back at the wolf, then put the lantern down, out of sight. At that, the wolf, Graham, perked up and ran circles around No1 - who was currently still processing the situation. It was relieving, though, to have his suspicions answered. Cries came from outside of the kitchen. "Oh, he's been slaughtered and eaten already, I can't watch!" No1 and a playful Graham came through the doorway and back into the light. Kyle and Larry jumped back at the sight of their Basement Beastie, though not much of a beast in person. "Settle down, you two," No1 said, as he knelt down and brought Graham forward, "I believe we'll need some rest, and a proper explanation."

No-one i know in real life follows me on here so and i have no-one to talk to about a problem i’m having so i’m just gonna type it here. I have like 1 follower so no1 will read this anyways but that’s fine. Just need to get it out somewhere no1 i know will read.

I’ve been with my boyfriend 7 years, since we were 17 years old. We moved in together for the first time October just gone. I love him, he helps support me and constantly encourages me in everything i’m doing. What a dream right? Sounds pretty perfect, and it could be/ should be. 

SO WHYYYYY do I want to escape so bad? I spent last weekend in London with one of my best friends Richard because we went to see Paramore. One of his housemates also used to go to our school. The last night I was there I stayed in his room rather than Richards, which is like fine, we’re mates, i’ve stayed with him before. Last time i did, I did leave with a bit of a crush on him but after I got back it didn’t take long for me to get over it and continue with my life with Ben. This time, we were really flirty. Nothing happened but in the morning we had a lazy morning as it was Sunday, he stroked my hair, and teased me and even kissed my temple. I was SO turned on by it, to the point were I actually had to tell him because I could tell I was acting like a weirdo, he said he didn’t mean to turn me on until I told him I was turned on and he kept flirting. At this point I should have just got out of bed, gone to find Richard, got showered whatever... but i didn’t want to leave. Richard & I went for brunch later and I told him how I was feeling, the crush was back. Later we went back to the house and all made fajitas and I was cutting some veg and he came over and hugged me, and later when i was sat on the sofa he was being playful and kissed my temple again which took me by surprise just as much as the first time. 

On the train back to York, i thought I should message him and explain the pickle i’m in because I have a crush on him but he knows about Ben and he apologised and said he’s really sorry he shouldn’t have put me in that position but it’s not all his fault, takes 2 to tango or whatever. Now i just have this massive crush on him and i’m being off with Ben and he’s asking me whats wrong etc. I feel AWFUL if this was the other way round and Ben felt like this about another girl I’d be heartbroken but I can’t help it. I just want to run away, back to London. Rob probs doesn’t even like me like that, he probs thinks i’m bat shit crazy tbh but whatever the point is if i’m supposed to be in love with Ben why is it possible for me to feel these feelings for someone else? 

I’ve spoken to him everyday via snapchat since i’ve got back (It’s Friday today). He’s invited me down at the start of Feb cos he’s having a party for his birthday, I really want to go but if these feelings do subside in the meantime then come back again as soon as i see him il be annoyed but at the same time I just wanna see him again. I’m paying rent on this house with Ben until October. I’m considering moving to London to start my career after uni anyway but the fact that I have all these feelings at the moment make it seem a lot more appealing. But for as long as I’m in a relationship I can’t act on my feelings, as much as i want to.. Rob wouldn’t let me, knowing i’m in a relationship anyway I don’t think. He’s such a wonderful person and I don’t want this crush I have to ruin our friendship. I’ve not felt these sorts of butterfly feelings for SO long It’s such a nice feeling having a crush on someone, i feel giddy and excited when he messages me. 

I’m an awful human, Ben would be so upset if he knew how I was feeling but I can’t control it.  

Anyway I just needed to put that into the universe, I don’t know what i’m gonna do about it for the moment I just needed to get it out from swirling around my head, i feel properly mental.
