#Pray for kira guys

[godisasimp]

Poor kira is getting double teamed on.

[tigers1o1]

Yall really liked part one

PART TWO OF WHAT YOUR FAVORITE JRWI RIPTIDE SHIP SAYS ABOUT YOUUUU

(except this time I’m not putting pictures so i can do a longer post)

PC/NPC

Pistolwhip (jay/lizzie) - if you’re all the way caught up, you are HERE for the angst. That toxic, fucked up yuri. If you havent watched 101 yet, you think they girlboss. And honestly, you girlboss too.

Sharpshooter (jay/kira) - childhood friends to lovers FUCKS you up. You probably didnt have many close connections as a kid and yearn for the kind of love that can only come from knowing someone for years. You also really like the “lovers on opposite” sides trope, but maybe not quite to the “hero/villain” trope or enemies to lovers. Just tragic romeo and juliet types.

Clockwork rivals/ women in STEM (jay/ensa) - you’re probably a STEM major too to be honest. You’re hella chill, and i know that for a fact. You are also in love with ensa. You’re also probably a cat person.

Jay’s Harem - Jay is your favorite, you’re pissed that so many people over look her and you hate your dad. You’re probably a lesbian/sapphic. You think she deserves everything. You’re probably in either a very stable relationship, or chronically alone.

Swordfish (gillion/caspain) - i feel like you’re probably a fairly lonely person who seeks comfort in those with similar backgrounds/identities to yours. You just think theyre neat :3

Scarlet Captains (chip/jasmine drake) - BOY KISSER 🫵. No but in all seriousness you LOVE the flirting, the tension. You’d probably turn into a blubbering mess if someone flirted with you the was Jazz flirts with Chip. You’re down bad for Jazz, dont lie.

Chiptune (chip/queen) - queen is your favorite character, and you’re just a littol guy. You want to be wrapped in a fuzzy blanket always and have a sweet tooth like none other. You love fluff, and are probably obsessed with the character cinnamoroll

Fnfnc (gillion/caspian/chip) - you’ve been here for a while, havent you? I feel like this one was more popular in the earlierish days, so if this is still your favorite you’ve got some DEDICATION. You are loyal to a fault and you are not afraid to fight someone if they hurt one of your besties.

Sea sharp (gill/chip/queen) - you just like them being silly together :> you also probably want to be at the middle of a cuddle pile. You think highly of your friends and you’re probably on the quieter side.

Greater mana polycule (whatever that means to you is correct) - you’re autistic and when you were a kid, you had more stuffed animals than room on your bed because you felt bad leaving anyone out

NPC/NPC

Waning crescent/ frigatebird (lizzie/ ava) - oh so you like to cry. You like tragic yuri. You liked doomed timelines. You like MCD, you freak /pos. You fuck heavily with the “hero/villain” trope but ONLY when its messy and complicated and there are no heroes and villains and they love each other but they can never have each other and- yeah thats all i need to say. You know who you are. Also props to you is you shipped it before 101. There were like 4 of us, i fear

Rosewater (lizzie/caspian) - you are LOYAL. You know who your friends are and you will defend them until you DIE. Youre also a CHRONIC overthinker. You’re probably in a strange found family relationship with most of your friends and I’m willing to bet you’re ace. You love undying loyalty in relationships, and unconditional love through extremely tough times. You probably elect to ignore the “Caspian is a traitor theory”, and if you dont, you love it for the fucked up angst potential.

Cattlepunk (drey/ ichabod) - you are ride or fucking die for this ship. You scrounch up anything there is for this ship and if you’ve consumed it all, you make it yourself. You have a thing for cowboys and pray to grizzly every day that he beings jonah scott back.

Drearl (drey/earl) - oh you’re fucking OOOOLD. You’ve been in those fandoms since the days before they deleted fated. Also. If THIS is your favorite ship? What the fuck. But its almost definitely ironic, and for that? You are iconic.

Star crossed survivors (star/ zamia) - you’re adorable, probably a lesbian, and really like happy endings despite tragedy. You want to live in the woods with 4 cats, 2 horses and your soulmate. Your favorite barbie movie is/was Barbie and the Diamond Castle

Let me know if I missed yours!!

OUR SPRING

003. perfect

5:01 pm

"Fucking hell."

Normally, you'd have more shame, but given your current circumstances it was understandable for you to curse loudly in the middle of the hallway on your way home from the school library. All of this was so irritating, the rumours and all the attempted manipulation, both which, were from the exact same source; Kira Ryosuke.

It should be fine. That's what you've told yourself for a long time. But you've been corrected. Because rumour after rumour, it kept accumulating now it's consumed and become your school life, until your identity is once again established as one that only revolves around some guy who likes you.

"You better drop dead next time I see you."

"May I help you?" You pull yourself out of your livid trance, looking up from staring at your feet as you walk and realizing with horror that you say that right in front of someone else. What's even worse, is that you recognise who it was, possibly one of the worst people to unintentionally curse at. It's Chigiri Hyoma. Rising star of the jpop and jdrama industry, who also happens to be a member of one of your best friend's favourite band.

"I am so sorry. I swear it wasn't directed to you- A lot had been going on recently." You prayed, begging that he wasn't one of those celebrities who enjoyed tormenting regular people with their obsessive and toxic fanbases, or liked exploiting their fame to ruin others.

Despite being apprehensive of the social power he holds, Meguru was right every time he called Chigiri attractive. It was evident through photos, but they don't capture his beauty fully. There wasn't a blemish on his pale skin, his tied up hair seemed perfect, it was obvious people would die for his skin and hair care routine. Long eyelashes compliment soft features and his rose coloured eyes clouded with what seemed like concern.

Even though his features weren't inhumanely perfect or complied to the beauty standard to a T, everything just synergises together, curating his natural charm.

Visually, he embodies perfection.

"Ah I see. I understand." Just when you thought he couldn't look any better he smiles, teeth perfectly white and shiny, which were adorned with dimples. It made sense why he was an actor and idol, he pulls off school uniform and even makes it look fashionable, heck his school photo probably came out gorgeous too. "So, what happened?"

You were too busy admiring his visuals to realize you were going to reveal your current struggles to a total stranger. "Well it's just- wait, I don't even know you?"

"Neither do I. All the more better to open up to, no?"

He's kind of weird. No wonder why Meguru loves him so much.

Instead of addressing and responding to his statement, you take advantage of this opportunity, since he's always surrounded by fans. "Then, how do you deal with rumours? You're apart of that band egoism, right? You'd know a lot about this"

"Well. I'm not apart of the PR team, so I don't know the full details. But rumours don't have some sort of secret formula or trick to getting rid of them. Hence why most celebrities have a PR team."

If only you had one too.

"Are you the one everyone assumes is dating Kira? I'm guessing you're referring to all the gossip related to you too." Chigiri continues, seeming genuinely curious regarding your situation.

You nod, and barely process being dragged into a janitor's closet by him, the complete shock taking too long to register.

"Oi Chigiri, what're you doing?" Ending up in a janitor's closet with one of the most popular artists of your age was not expected.

"Dating rumours, you say?" He breaths out, dismissing your question, a chuckle soon rises in his throat. "We're not too different, no? I have the perfect solution for you."

"Which is?" Once again, he ignores your questions, slowly coming closer towards you, face close in proximity to yours.

"Date me."

star trek update time! wednesday we watched voy's "displaced" and ds9's "children of time" AAAAAA from which i will. never recover

displaced (voy):

this one was truly so fun. i loved the mystery of what was going on, i loved how janeway was (i felt) unnecessarily hostile and then it turned out she was RIGHT, i loved when chakotay gave up on winning and decided to simply do as much sabotaging as possible before the same was up because i loved watching him cause problems on purpose

similarly the scenes in the biomes/tunnels were fun not only because janeway had a blast bargaining with that one guy but because and and tuvok were ALSO having fun creeping around causing problems on purpose

the final moment of joy was janeway willing to leave those aliens to freeze to death in their own fake biome if they didn't let everybody go. prime directive? we don't know her. sometimes it's annoying how trek only remembers the prime directive when it's convenient, but this was so much fun that i don't really care

shoutout also to tuvok for vulcan nerve pinching that one guy. not nearly enough vulcan nerve pinches lately

and, all right, look. tom and b'elanna are cute. i'm not going crazy stupid over them or anything but it was really special to me when he didn't fuck her. you can overlook so much annoying buffoonery from a guy when you begin giving him the benefit of the doubt (because he didn't fuck her) instead of being instantly annoyed every time he opens his mouth. tom paris maybe earned his redemption. i only wish i could have had a turnaround like this for picard instead

i was really glad they didn't Talk About It at the end. they both opened their mouths as if to say more and then decided not to and that was PERFECT. like the fact that she came and sought him out was apology enough. well done.

children of time (ds9):

girl, help

never in my life...

I DID NOT EXPECT THIS. i read we were due for a season 6 get together

AND HJE JUST STROLLS IN AND

like.

ok. like. ok. she's by the bucket rip odo back in the bucket so she's by the bucket smiling fondly at it and then THE OTHER ODO. WALKS IN. AND JUST SAYS IT. I HAD TO ADJUST. PRESENT DAY ODO IS SICK RN I KNOW IT

the way he almost touched her face without actually touching it. the way he says it because he's had 200 years to regret not saying it

also, the way that he can love someone for 200 years and not have it diminished in any way. like i'm not saying offing 8k colonists was the way to go but for someone whose body can change shape his will and the way he loves people is so steadfast and UNchanging and that is very. wow. what a situation that is

HIIIII THEY HELD HAAAAANDS. did i have to pause the episode and recover from hysterics and maybe also tears? don't worry about it

he makes hands to touch people with and when he woke up that morning for the first time in 200 years he made hands to touch her with.........

also, kira praying over her own grave. insane.

THE KISS!!!!!!! she was very much like giving that to him as a one time goodbye thing but AAAUGHGHGH

i kind of wish she'd asked WHY he loves her - that it had had a little more substance - but we gotta save some goodies for modern day odo

also aw he's still bad at shapeshifting even after linking with his other self...

also, i had odo vision this entire episode. kira has never looked more beautiful

anyway, sorry, the ethical dilemma. i don't think erasing 8k people from history is quite the same as killing them. they don't know they were erased and no one grieves them. it's more existentially horrifying, worse in some ways, but also not the same as murder, because again - what about the people on ds9 who exist right now and need their families? keiko and molly and yoshi and jake and kassidy? what about the people who would be born because they go back? the people who need sisko especially in the war efforts?

there's really not a clear right and wrong answer and it kind of sucks that the episode painted staying behind as like "the right thing to do even though it's very difficult to make such a sacrifice." like maybe the colony is miserable. struggling to survive. and that thickens things up a little

i read that dax was originally supposed to be the one to redo the autopilot because of his guilt over the accident which would have made lots of sense - i think we could have swung it to dax getting helped by odo, because dax's dedication to keeping the colony alive makes less sense the more you think about it, and then kira's slightly less horrified? maybe that removes some of the teeth, idk

also, imagine being bonded to your grandma's trill. like you'd remember her sex life. wack

AND I NEARLY FORGOT BUT SISKO BABY TALKING HIS LITTLE DESCENDANT!!!!!!!! please please PLEASE somebody give that man a baby he loves babies so much

anyway, 10/10, blew me away, i can't believe that really happened

TONIGHT: voy's "worst case scenario" and ds9's "blaze of glory"

[08theverysmallhuman]

THANK GOD SOMEBODY IN THIS FUCKING FANDOM LIKES IGAGURI!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDDD HE IS LITERALLY JUST A LITTLE GUY WHAT THE FUCK ARE HATERS SO MAD ABOUT!!!!!!! I thought the more recent scene with him and Isagi where he was given advice was incredible and I really hope we get to see more of him in future arcs still because he’s Isagi’s pal and first real rival!!! He’s silly comic relief yeah but he’s also genuinely likable and has a VERY heavy and real reason to be so driven and passionate to stick in Blue Lock! And I am SO happy seeing somebody else who likes him here FINALLY! FINALLY!!! THANK YOU

THAT MAKES WHAT. FOUR? IGAGURI ENJOYERS IVE SEEN ON HERE?? WHAT THE FUCK

FOR FUCKING REEEEAL !!!!! They're mad he's still in because it makes no sense well first of all he quite literally is established to not want to train if he doesn't have to and call him lazy and it doesn't make sense he's still in WHEN IN CANON he works hard enough to be good enough to run with the beasts blue lock is cultivating, to the point where he's actually straining his fucking body and injuring himself on equipment and throwing up???? Brother if you fall face first on a treadmill set to max you are not getting back on I don't know what to tell you. He's decided to train the thing he's good at, the same thing everyone else in the series is doing, the thing that Real Life Soccer Players accepts as an actual strategy and people are getting on his ass about it cause they can't fucking accept that he's a genuinely GOOD soccer player who's playing with actual superpowered geniuses

He's also like??? Really nice compared to some of these guys?? He talks a lot of shit but like it's comparatively tame and not really all that different from like regular team animosity? You got other people on this team saying some real out of pocket shit and you're on this guy's case about it ISAGI's ruder than this guy. He's genuinely happy for his friends when they reach a new level in their progress, he's comfortable asking them for advice and help with practice, he's literally isagi's hypeman on the field and he's cheering for every goal

It's literally just because they find him ugly there's literally no other reason. He's not even ugly he's bald but he looks fine dude he's literally living in a fucking temple what do you want from him. He might not even wanna look like this he very adamantly hates the thought of continuing to live in the temple let a man be

And yes his backstory is literally The most interesting one to me hands down I need to know what his home life is like I need to know his dad his mom his friends how he got into soccer in a reportedly strict shrine especially with his personality being like Super Not Buddhist, he prays to ask for stuff and not anywhere else, his jersey number is literally a reference to the 108 earthly desires Buddhists are meant to stay away from, that he specifically indulges in while he's away from home I wonder if he's used to being squished in a room with multiple people and that's how he finds such bizarre sleeping positions cause it's so open suddenly I need to know if he makes it out which he fucking better if he goes back I'm destroying all life on the planet let my boy go

Not even gonna get into the it shouldve kira argument I've said it a million times they only want him back because he's hot but kira was not fucking making it in blue lock . you want him to but he just fuckin wasn't maybe one day I'll get into it but you know in your heart of hearts Pretty Boy McSwaggy here was getting his fucking shit rocked

Igarashi Gurimu is a GREAT LIKEABLE AMD COMPELLING CHARACTER and just because he's not exactly bishie IT DOESNT MEAN HE'S A BAD PERSON?? Ive literally seen 'igaguri would be a pervert igaguri would be homophobic' he's literally one of the few people in blue lock who hasnt mentioned girls or romance bud. And my guy put up with shidou dude I think we're Fine

[canon-vi]

While Rozka doesn’t know how to draw guys, I don’t know how to create them, we’ll learn... probably—

--------------------------🦊----------------------------

Name: Drake

Age: 17-18

Height: 175

Birthday: 29.02 (February 29)

--------------------------🦊----------------------------

•

He dyes his hair black, his natural hair color is white

•

He takes sedatives, which is why he often walks around sleepy

•

He goes to church every Sunday, although he doesn’t believe in God, he still feels better after praying

•

On Lux's side, but not because he supports her, but because he's fucking afraid, and therefore does everything she asks

•

He remembers past timelines, but not all, but with a certain chance, he remembers a maximum of half

•

He is very easy to embarrass, seriously, one word can be enough for this

•

Wears headphones not so much to listen to music, but so as not to hear anyone

•

Braids his hair to calm down

--------------------------🦊----------------------------

Drake's attitude towards the others:

Adults:

Nightmare:

He scares me, I don’t know how it’s possible to stay next to him for more than 10 seconds and still remain healthy and mentally normal, one look from him terrifies me...

Killer:

Mom is very strong, because she spent the most time with this monster, seeing her beaten in itself is already like torture, but if I intercede, then there will only be more wounds...

Dream:

I would still prefer that he be my father, no matter how terrible he is in this role, at least he doesn’t beat his and not only children... He doesn’t beat them, right??

Ink:

Is she really the most beautiful woman? It’s just that it seems to me that there are more beautiful girls, for example there, mom, Lux... A... AaaaaAaaAaAAAAAAAA—!

Hope:

This miss is probably the best person in this world... It seems to me, or is it she has positive aura, and not Mr. Dream?—

Cross:

I miss him, the castle is very lonely and scary without him, and I never thanked him for his kindness... Oh, he has a bakery??—

Children:

Angst (alive):

He's crazy, he's fucking crazy! I don’t want to talk about him, I don’t want to be associated with him in any way.

Crescent:

He seriously pretends that we are not relatives... Okay, I can understand him... However, if I don’t want to be kicked out of the church, then I’d better play along with him

Merciless:

He really is a fearless masochist, since he goes with Lux and he loves her... I don’t understand him, she beats him, why is he okay with everything..? On the other hand, it’s not for me to judge, I also do everything like a fucking dog, haha

Lux:

I just hope that today she won’t hit me or my brother, haha... Women are scary... I saw her talking to thin air, HELP!—

Khe— I mean... She's just a great friend to hang out with! Haha...

Pallete:

I can’t look him in the eye, I’m really ashamed in front of him, I think I don’t even have the right to talk to him...

Goth:

She... Beautiful?— Well, all women are beautiful, there is no such thing as someone not being beautiful, well, some are just more beautiful, and some are less, right??—

Drop:

. . . Women are weird... Do all girls like older guys or is that just her? I don’t want to say that I’m somehow against it, it’s just that she’s still so small, children grow up so fast??

Bonus! ( what if )

Callisto:

Ahah, I feel dangerous just from his gaze, he will definitely break my neck one day, I don’t know why, but he will break my neck even with his gaze!

Taisiya:

She looks exactly like that miss... I just want to say thanks to her, I don't know what happened or why everything suddenly stopped, but thank you!

Artemis:

I hope that one day she will kill me before I kill her, ahah, what a fucking useless older brother I am, just a rat who only thinks about himself! ... Sorry...

Kira:

Thanks to her, I learned prayers much faster than I could have imagined, haha— She’s strong... She’s my salvation from Callisto’s company, at least in church, thank you!

Soleil:

Her self-confidence can be envied, she is... Fearless... And brainless— Khe khe! Sorry.! Please don't hit!

Vivi:

I envy her... Lux is very kind and sweet to her... I wish they would pat me on the head instead of hitting me...

Sunshine:

I don’t really know her, she’s with Pallete, I’m with Lux... ( take me away! )

This bro really needs help—

[choki-the-rich-cactus]

Not a full fanfic, just some random scenes in my head that I just can’t get rid of.

“Even Japan’s treasure, Kira Ryousuke, is here?”

Nagi looked up from his phone’s screen. The word ‘treasure’ coming out of Reo’s mouth that didn’t refer to him left a bad taste in his mouth.

“Japan’s...treasure?” He followed Reo’s gaze to see a short, black hair boy in a school uniform. “That normal looking pipsqueak?”

“No, not the black hair guy behind him. The big, handsome guy..”

Nagi looked back down to his phone despite Reo attempt to move his head so they could witness this national treasure together. Irritation crept into his voice when he implied he didn’t care, but Reo was clearly too starstruck to notice.

Nagi knew he always encourage Reo to play soccer with someone else. Partly because Nagi thought that would cut him some slack, allowed him to go back to his sedentary lifestyles, but mostly because he thought Reo deserved to have someone as passionate about this whole thing as he was as a partner and not whatever Nagi was at this stage.

Soccer was...a pain. Nagi mainly forced himself through the whole thing because of how Reo was looking as him every time he scored a goal. Like he was a gift from heaven created specifically for Reo.

He somewhat enjoyed the sport on a certain level, but nowhere near Reo. And Nagi wasn’t the type to fake his enthusiasm just so someone would keep being his friend.

But he also couldn’t lie, with Reo, Nagi was actually very temped to just fake it till he make it.

Nagi didn’t have that many friends. Especially human ones.

So while he was quite sure Reo wouldn’t just dump him when he found a shiny new treasure, Nagi wasn’t 100% sure.

He said he wanted Reo to have freedom in choosing partners, soccer was Reo dream after all, but he said nothing about Reo having a new treasure.

Especially this...whatever the hell this guy was.

What was Reo even talking about?

Big? Was Nagi’s 190cm height and his developing muscles (thanks to Reo’s traing schedule) not enough to satisfied Reo? Nagi might not reach the peak of his physical form yet, but even he knew he was way more ripped than this so called ‘treasure’.

Handsome? Where?

His white hair? Nagi’s whiter, and waaaay fluffier! Reo just blow-dried his hair yesterday.

His big eyes? Nagi’s were bigger. Anyone could see that.

His smile? Okay, Nagi might not have anything to compete with that, but you don’t really need a smile to look hot, right?

Kira was lucky that Ego came on the stage at that moment. Because if Reo uttered a single more praise to Japan’s treasure. Nagi’s look might actually kill someone.

——

Nagi thought he kind of did something he shouldn’t.

Nagi wasn’t a religious guy, but after that encounter(?) with a guy who could take Nagi’s place if Reo wanted him to. He kinda prayed to anyone who would listen to get rid of that national treasure before Kira actually met Reo.

He wasn’t sure who answered his prayers, because Kira literally went *poof* on the first day.

“Reo...”

“Yes, my treasure?” The nickname made Nagi felt a little better.

“If I accidentally made a deal with a devil, would you help me?”

Luckily for him, Reo heard something like this from Nagi often enough to not even bat an eyelash.

“I’m a Mikage, Nagi.” Reo smiled as he fed Nagi with a piece of steak he cut into bite sized pieces. “Whoever it was you made a deal with, I probably have had lunch with him. Don’t worry. I’ll get that contract back for you in no time.”

Nagi relaxed into the boy next to him with relieved. He did not question Reo. He never did.

But as Nagi was drifting off to sleep. He still had a feeling this was the debt he would have to pay to that devil himself in future.

[jmeldog]

FUCK NO NONNO NO NONONONONONONONO FUCKING PRAY FOR ME

Kira going to fight Ze-ro. The main antagonist. The guy who offed his dad. His mom telling him to make sure he comes home. Him eating ramen with Joe before he goes. Bros. Bros it’s fucking over bros ITS FUCKING OVER

AND HE STILL WONT TELL JOE WHAT HE’S UP TO. FUCK OFF

[andro-dino]

ykw. im not done. shogun steel furries pt. 2: dna boogaloo edition™

1. Yoshio is a moose!! big, strong guy with an intimidating aura who CAN fuck you up but is very protective and loyal to people he loves. wolves are also one of the few predators of moose, emphasizing how kira is one of the few people yoshio will follow. also imagining eight as a little otter pup going up against this huge moose guy is so funny yet scary. pray for him i dont think he's gonna make it 🥲

2. Genjuro is a snapping turtle!! dont have a specific species for him, so im just keeping him as a generic snapping turtle. i originally had turtle as a placeholder animal for him (since genbu is a turtle) cause i feel like there are animals that fit him better, but the more i thought on it the more i got attached to turtle genjuro 😌. in the metal furry universe i imagine he uses his toothpick thing as a way to hold back from biting the other dna bladers lmao

3. Captain Arrow is a bat!! i imagine him specifically as a ryukyu flying fox but it doesnt matter that much to me. i chose bats because they're very similar to wyverns, plus batman is a superhero and it just felt so perfect (also bat!arrow x turtle!genjuro........ batman x tmnt). arrow is just totally a dude who'd hang upside down for fun lol.

4. Spike is a red kangaroo!! he's shown boxing in multiple scenes so in metal furry he can be a kangaroo kickboxer 💪💪💪i also hc him as Australian so it worked out. spike doesnt have much to his character but i like to think he's a very nurturing guy in his own way, where he constantly reminds people to take care of themselves, albeit kinda aggressively but hey.

5. Baihu is a cat that has tiger stripes painted onto him!! idk how baihu's backstory would work in the metal furry universe maybe he got adopted by a tiger person who lived in solitude away from civilization 🤷. regardless, i feel like him just being a cat and not a tiger fits his backstory way more, though he still believes he is one.

6. Karura is a Brahminy kite!! Garudas is based on Garuda, a Hindu bird deity, which in turn has been linked to kites/eagles. plus with Karura's whole controlling the elements shtick it just makes sense yk. Brahminy kites also have very distinct plumage with a brown-colored body and a white head, it reminded me of Karura's design a lot. maybe he dyes his feathers blue to match the sky 👀

now the shogun steel metal furry verse is now complete 🔥🔥🔥

LETS GOOOOOOO‼️‼️‼️‼️

Moose Yoshio is so incredibly big brained

TURTLE GENJURO AND BAT ARROW EUEUEUEUEUUEUEEU I LOVE THEM!!!!! I might doodle them lowkey bc I think they would be very cute. I like how Genjuro’s pick keeps him from biting other people he’s silly

KANGAROO SPIKE IS SO SILLY AUEVHWHWHA I LOVE HIM

KITTY BAIHUUUUUU OHHHH CHRIS YOUR BRAINNNNNNN. his fake tiger stripes ouuuurrghhhhhhhh. also shoutout to this making very small and very large duo even smaller and larger. imagine little kitty baihu sitting on yoshio’s head. or horns. ough how silly

BIRD KARURA‼️‼️‼️‼️ he is so cool. also him being a bird makes his beef with kite even more interesting to me bc they got a seas vs sky thing goin on there and I think that’s neat

Top Five Update and the Ao3 Attack

Hey guys :) i know I don’t really come on here much with something serious to say, but honestly the Ao3 DDOS has really thrown me for a loop. Hopefully the site will be back up soon, but for now I wanted to post the next chapter of Top Five, along with its document, here. On Ao3, they would show up as:

Chapter 150: One of Them

Chapter 151: DOCUMENT: #MAF-2: Kal Snydar

Again, I really hope the website comes back up soon, but in case you missed it, here’s your Top Five fix:

One of Them

The fastest way to intimidate someone, Mello learned, was through one’s silhouette. This was certainly not a novel discovery; Hitler, Stalin, and Napoleon had uncovered it far before the bloodied man. In any case, it was true, and Mello carried it down the desert road with him on the drive to pay his hostage a visit. 

She had arrived early in the morning littered with struggle wounds, a set of damaged goods on a transcontinental plane. Go figure, the chief’s daughter had inherited some of his stubbornness. However, Mello’s men assured him that the girl was taken care of, that any package could be fixed with a bit of duct tape. 

As he ripped it off of Sayu Yagami’s mouth, all she could focus on were the pricks of fur along the hood of his coat, the way his bangs swept evenly above his eyes, concealing his eyebrows. Worst of all, the young woman took note of his smile, how it spread across his chin like butter as she whimpered. 

Flipping the on-button of his tape recorder, the man teased, “There she is… Sayu Yagami.”

Blood dripping from her lips, the woman sobbed, “Who are you?”

“If you really want to know, ask your father. It’s his fault you’re here, anyway. If I were you, I’d just pray he comes to pick you up.”

Sayu only stared, her pupils shrunken into grains of sand. 

“Oh my God…” As the realization struck him, Mello’s face lit up. “That’s right. You don’t speak much English, do you?”

“She didn’t speak any to us,” Jack said from behind the pair, sitting on a stair. “She said something, naturally, but I couldn’t tell you what it was.”

“Keep your mouth closed,” The boss grumbled. “And you… ohayou.”

The woman shriveled into her chair, gasping for breath as the rope burned into her arms. 

“Come on, you’ve never seen a white guy speak Japanese? Well, you’ll be glad you did when I’m through with you… listen, you just answer my questions, don’t cause trouble, and you’ll be out of here in no time. Can you do that, Sayu?”

“I… I don’t—”

Mello sighed, his hair sticking to his cheeks as he shook his head. “No, I don’t know why I ask… I’m not tied to a chair, am I?”

His men snickered behind him, and for the first time since he had left the Wammy House, Mello truly felt invincible. 

“Alright then,” he muttered, pulling up a chair. “It’s your turn to talk. What does your father do for a living?”

“You must already know that,” Sayu answered, her voice trembling. “I don’t understand why you’re asking me.”

Already aggravated, the boss struck her once across the face, her cheek pink as he pulled back his hand.

She was right, of course. As long as none of the officers had dropped out of the Kira Task Force since L’s death, Mello knew the names and titles of everyone involved. But this was a baseline, a test to see whether the chief’s daughter would lie to him. 

“Don’t get smart with me,” he warned. “You’ll only be hurting yourself.” 

“He’s the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency!” the woman rushed, tears streaming down her face. “They- they said he resigned a long time ago, at the start of the Kira case, but he’s been working behind the scenes this whole time!”

“On what?”

“The Kira Task Force. He’s the second in command, after L.”

“What does he do on it?”

The woman flinched, her voice dripping with remorse as she shyly explained, “I- I don’t know… he doesn’t tell me.”

“Fine, then. Who else is on it?”

“I don’t know everyone there…”

With a dull expression, Mello flicked his chocolate wrapper at the woman’s head. “Hurry up, I don’t have time for you to be vague. Tell me everyone who works on the Kira Task Force, to the best of your knowledge.”

Fearing another slap, Sayu turned her head from the man, her hair in tangles as she caved in. “Touta Matsuda… I-I’m sorry, but I only know his full name. For the rest of them, I only have last names.”

“And what are they?” Mello growled, raising his hand as a threat. “Aizawa! Aizawa! And there’s him, Yamagishi, and a woman named Akiyama. There are two more, both men, but I… I don’t know them well.” 

“How long have they all been working on the Kira case?”

“From the beginning, I think… I remember Yamagishi visiting us a few months after it started, and I’m sure Matsuda and Aizawa were there as well.” 

“Fine. What–”

“Wait!”

Mello tilted his head, and the woman quickly averted her gaze, panic-stricken. 

“I’m sorry, there- there was just another person. Hirokazu Ukita worked with them too, from the beginning, but he died in the first few months.”

“I understand. Do you know what any of them do within the Task Force?”

“I don’t… I’m sorry.”

“Quit apologizing, you sound like a child.” Shifting his weight in the chair, pressing his chin against its top, Mello narrowed his eyes. “How are they these days?” “They’re fine,” Sayu breathed. “I… I don’t know, I only ever really see Matsuda, Yamagishi, and Akiyama.” “God, that’s what they’re calling her now?”

“Akiyama?”

“She can only go through so many names, for God’s sake… this must be the third.”

“I don’t understand.”

“And you’re not supposed to. Well, Akiyama and Yamagishi… are they still dating?”

“Y-yeah. How did you know?”

“You know, Sayu, I’m starting to understand why they had to bring out the duct tape. You want me to leave you with those lunatics again?”

“No!” the woman screeched. “No, stay! I’ll answer anything you want!” “Do they live together, then? Akiyama and Yamagishi?” “I’m pretty sure…”

“Are they married?”

“Not to my knowledge. He just calls her his girlfriend.”

“How often do you see them?”

“Oh, I… maybe a couple of times a year? I don’t know. They’re pretty busy.”

“It doesn’t matter. Where does the Kira Task Force work?”

“I don’t know… probably in the police headquarters.”

Mello’s face fell flat. “If you think L is stupid enough to do that, I’m amazed you managed to get into university at all.”

“I don’t know!” the woman repeated, curling her fingers into fists. “I’ve been awake for hours, and I’m starving, and I don’t know what you want from me, damnit! I don’t know!” 

“Your choice, then.”

His coat crinkling as he stood, Mello raised his hand and gestured for Jack and the others to follow him.

“No!” Sayu begged, her voice raising an octave in her moment of desperation. “No, I didn’t mean it!” Mello paid the woman no mind, staring her down as he asked, “Do you guys want to know what she said?” 

Behind him, a group of mafiosi turned their heads, obedient to his every word.

All but Jack, that is. 

The man kept his gaze to the ground, his eyes listless, two voids stacked over his cracking skin as he sighed. 

“That includes you, you bozo,” Mello grunted, making a point of flicking Jack’s forehead. “God, maybe you and her are meant for each other…” 

“What’d she say, boss?” the man finally snapped, obviously annoyed. 

“She doesn’t want to answer anything I say, that’s all… remind you of someone, Jack?”

“My bad, I was thinking about something.”

“There’s a first for everything.” 

Jack lit a cigarette, his laugh slicing through the bitter air, though it resolved none of his disdain for the chocoholic teenager he called a don. “Well, what do you want us to do about the broad in the chair?”

Glancing purposefully at Sayu, Mello chuckled. “I thought I would leave that up to you guys. I have a flight to catch.”

He turned, then, his footsteps ringing against the cold steel of the room like a fork against a wine glass. Sayu shrieked as he walked away, much preferring the company of her Japanophone captor to his pawns. 

Expecting only her cries to trail his exit, Mello was surprised to hear Jack walking behind him. Having handed his cigarette to Miller, who in turn pressed it into the young woman’s neck, he approached empty-handed. Even so, a bizarre and brazen curiosity filled the edges of his whittled face. 

Mello huffed as he turned. “You take too much crack or something? You’re supposed to be over there.”

“It was you I was thinking about,” Jack replied, seamlessly. “I was wondering why you still wear that big cross on your neck after everything you’ve done.”

“Is that your idea of a joke?”

If he were slightly more sober, the man may just have cackled. “Oh, I’m much too old for jokes. I’m being honest, boss. It’s a question.”

“A question you don’t need an answer to,” Mello hissed. “I wear it because I want to, and if that isn’t enough to satisfy you, you should remember that there’s plenty of space back there for another chair.”

“Calm down, will you?”

“I’ll calm down when you learn your place. Why the hell are you asking questions like that?” 

“It’s just that in my experience,” Jack mumbled, “The people who go out of their way to show their devotion to God have the most to hide from Him…” Inexplicably, with the cunning false innocence of a child, the man’s face shifted into the slightest whisper of a grin. “I wanted to see if you were one of them.”

In that moment, the ground beneath Mello’s feet seemed to warp, tilting the two closer to each other by a trick of the light. His skin grew hot, almost unbearably so, his blood boiling in a mix of anger and anxiety he could not understand. 

He struggled to form a response, so taken aback by Jack’s assumption that he could not connect his brain to his lips. 

Fortunately, Jack answered on his own, barely narrowing his eyes as he muttered, “I think I know now.”

Pulling the man by the collar of his shirt, Mello pressed his forehead to Jack’s, their eyes so close together he could practically see into the bartender’s body. 

His voice razor-sharp, he simply uttered, “Tell me shit like that when I’m the one answering to you.”

Then, throwing Jack to the floor, Mello unwrapped a bar of chocolate and stumbled off. 

However, he would never fully shake the man’s judgement, following him like a curse.

By the time he arrived in the capital, Mello had persuaded himself that Jack’s insult was the result of an inhumanly high dosage of crack cocaine combined with a pre-existing hatred of his boss. 

Something about the man’s boldness disturbed him, and had from the moment they met. Indeed, Jack carried himself as though he had no fear of death, like he had given up on himself ages ago. 

However grating he was, Mello was not annoyed with Jack; he simply feared that one day, he would turn into him. 

Plunging him away from that primordial terror, the door creaked open, and in walked the man of the hour, the practical messiah of the Paragon gang, a true D.C. insider, the dubiously-named Supervisory Special Agent Ill Ratt. 

“Sean,” Mello greeted, sliding his feet off of the desk. “You finally made it.”

“I came as soon as I could, boss.”

“Near must be working you to death, then… I guess that checks out. As clever as he thinks he is, he’s useless on his own.”

“No, it’s not that, although I suppose you’re right.” His head throbbing, frazzled from a hard day’s work, the rat slumped into the seat across from Mello. “You have to admit, though, we’ve got a lot of work to do now that you’ve kidnapped the Commissioner General’s daughter.” 

Mello frowned. “So he already knows. Did the Task Force reach out to him?”

“No, we contacted them as soon as we heard that Takimura had disappeared. Actually, they thought it was us at first.”

“No kidding… I didn’t think Near had it in him. Well, did he and Light have a chance to catch up?”

“He’s braver than I thought,” Sean sighed. “Not only did he reveal he’s working on the case, he outright accused him of being Kira.”

Playing with the beads of his rosary, Mello was quick to correct the agent. “That’s not bravery, that’s stupidity. The first time he talks to the Task Force in years, and he’s already made himself their enemy… he really hasn’t changed.”

“To be fair, boss… I don’t think we’re exactly their friend, either.”

Mello chuckled. “You have a point. But knowing Near, he plans on getting through to the Task Force by working with them… it’s a pretty terrible job for a kid who never had a friend in his life, don’t you think? No wonder he had to bring Linda with him…

“Tell me, Sean,” the man continued after a brief pause. “What do they have you doing there?” 

“My job is to investigate your whereabouts and activities, along with the entire gang. It’s a balancing act, for sure, but I’ve managed to keep myself in check. As far as I know, no one suspects a thing.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure.”

“You… mean to say that you think they know I’m a rat?”

“I’ll let you in on something: there’s a difference between being stupid and being dumb. A stupid person looks at someone like you and never suspects a thing. A dumb person, on the other hand, sees what you are and decides to keep their knowledge to themself. Near is dumb, but not stupid. Touta Matsuda—the bastard that snuck into the Yotsuba Headquarters—is stupid, but not dumb.”

“Isn’t there anyone who’s both?”

“Of course there is,” Mello sneered. “That’s Jack.”

Withholding his laughter, Sean nodded. “I understand, boss.” 

“So you’ve been investigating me… you and who else?” 

“Well, you’ll be happy to know that I’m the head of the operation.” The rat slipped his hand into his jacket, unzipping a hidden pouch and pushing past wires in order to find the report. “Working under me are nine agents… actually, one of them sort of reminds me of you.”

The stack of papers fell onto the desk with little fanfare.

“No kidding?” Mello hummed, scrolling through the list of names. 

“Not at all, boss. His name is Stephen Loud—code name, Stephen Gevanni. He’s some kind of a genius, I tell you what… one of the most successful young agents the Bureau’s seen in a while.” 

“He must be… you keep talking to him on your tapes.”

“I would argue that he talks to me. I think he knows something fishy is going on between us. It’s not like me to act so lazy.”

“Then don’t be lazy,” Mello blasted. “Let them investigate me all they want, there’s not a hole they can dig that’ll lead to me.” 

Sean pursed his lips, not convinced by the man’s claim, yet too timid to argue. “Right.”

In front of him, the fruits of his labor slid through his boss’s fingers, unimpressed. “So who are these other groups? Do they all investigate different parts of the case?”

“You could say that, yes. There are six of us, in total. Group A is made up of only the Commander, Near, and Linda—they oversee the operation, of course. Group B investigates you, Group C investigates Matt, Group D has been trying to track the members of the Kira Task Force, Group E is in charge of studying Kira worshippers and supporters, and Group F is focused on all current and former suspects.”

Mello’s eyes shot up from the list. “And who’s on that list of suspects, exactly?”

“Hideki Ide, Koreyoshi Kitamura and his family, uncleared members of the NPA, the Yotsuba Group, Teru Mikami, Ichiro Harada, and Kiyomi Takada. Essentially… everyone L ever suspected of being Kira that haven’t been involved with the investigation the entire time.”

“Ide still works for the police,” Mello reasoned. “And never even met Light and Mimi. You guys are wasting your time looking into him. Kitamura I’m not concerned with, and the Yotsuba Group is dead… but how about those last three? What have they been up to?” 

“That’s been a major concern for the group, actually. After L’s death, Teru returned to civilian life, but was often seen associating with Ichiro and Kiyomi. He was bitter enemies with Kiyomi’s boyfriend, Daiki Nobushi, from what we know… and as fate would have it, the one time Daiki visited the two together, he left in a stupor. That wasn’t like him… he was extremely possessive of Kiyomi, and had shown up to the apartment furious.” 

Mello narrowed his eyes, his breath caught momentarily in his throat. 

Was it not him who had studied the camera footage of Arayoshi Hatori as he stumbled out of Higuchi’s home? Who saw the emptiness in his eyes as he returned to his wife and children, locking the door behind him, sealing his own inferno? 

Even then, he could picture the desperation hidden beneath Hatori’s blank expression, the sense of panic that followed him home that night as he realized he had become little more than a shinigami’s marionette. 

“He died then,” Mello whispered. “Didn’t he?”

Gravely, the rat nodded. “A few days later, he suffocated in his sleep. Not too long after that, it seems that Teru and Kiyomi started dating. Within two months of Daiki’s death, she deleted most of her internet posts, especially those with identifying information like photographs or pieces of her name. A week or go, give or take, she and Teru got married.”

“That son of a bitch…”

“Even worse, Kiyomi has grown close to Light and Mimi. The SPK has reached the conclusion that she learned of Teru’s identity as Kira by accident, and that he must have killed Nobushi in the heat of the moment. Light and Mimi were seen rushing to the apartment after he had left, which led Linda to believe that they allowed Teru to keep her alive because of her pro-Kira attitudes. From what we can infer, Kiyomi has been fully accepted by the three Kiras, and could potentially be acting as Kira herself.” 

Standing up, too tense to sit, Mello rolled his shoulders, admitting with a sigh, “I wrote her suspect profile myself, you know. I should have figured something like this would happen… I guess it makes our job a little more difficult, doesn’t it? I never met her. Well, what about Harada? How is he now that he and Mikami are reunited?”

“It’s funny you should ask,” Sean chuckled. “We have no reason to believe he’s aware that Teru or Kiyomi are acting as Kira, but he’s still somehow gotten caught up in the case.”

Mello spun around without a second thought, almost stunned by the absurdity of the notion. “Light is trying to frame him?” 

“Not to my knowledge… see, he was an employee at Yotsuba during Higuchi’s time as Kira. He never spoke to him, but on the day the six members of the group died, the last person Suguru Shimura ever spoke to was him.”

“Damnit, that’s right! I remember reading about it… God, you must have seen the reporting on their deaths, didn’t you? Maybe it was Takada who killed them, then… I don’t think Light would want to attract that much attention while he killed them off. It’s a whole conspiracy at this point…”

“That’s our theory, as well.”

“Too bad,” Mello mumbled, shaking his head. “I’m lucky you can get all of this information out of Near, but I really do hate to be associated with him… I guess that doesn’t matter, though. Go on.”

Sean shifted his weight. “There’s not much more to say, I’m afraid. Harada was one of the several hundred employees to resign from Yotsuba after the Corporate Suicides, along with his now-wife, Natsumi Enomoto. She’s been writing a book about the events, which is scheduled to come out this year… Ichiro is less involved. From what we can tell, he just wants to move on with his life and forget whatever brief encounter he had with Suguru Shimura.”

“I don’t blame him. Don’t you find it odd, though? What Shimura told him?” 

“I’m sorry,” Sean flushed, biting the tip of his tongue. “I never really cared much for that whole mess. What did he say?”

Mello drew his finger over his lips, his thumb tucked beneath his chin as he thought. “I believe his exact words to Harada were… ‘I wanted to wish you good luck. I don’t think you know what’s coming to you.’”

The rat hummed without an indication of shock or intrigue, evidently clueless as to the words’ meaning. 

“Well,” his boss sighed. “I think it’s interesting. Shimura… he had this intuition to him, one of the strangest traits I ever saw in a person. Everything he guessed about the case was true, and he only knew it from a gut feeling. For heaven’s sake, Sean, he knew Taro Matsui wasn’t really dead, he knew Midori Ashikaga was a plant to capture Kira… and if you ask me, I think he was onto something when he said he was certain Namikawa was speaking to Kira on the phone.”

Sean only pursed his lips, squeezing half a breath into the air, suggesting he had come up with a question. 

Of course, he would never ask it. 

“Jesus Christ,” Mello grumbled. “You need to start studying those emails I sent you. If you’re going to be a double agent, you at least need to catch up on the case! Talk about rats… Namikawa was never this confused, come to think of it.” 

“I’m sorry, boss, I—”

“Save it. All I mean is, it’s funny Harada keeps getting himself involved in the case. His own damn cousin is Kira, his boss was part of the Yotsuba Group, and he’s none the wiser… he’ll need all the luck he can get, that’s for sure. If he takes one step closer to Mikami, he’ll get himself killed.”

“I understand.” 

“Oh, finally. Well, let’s get on with it. What does the FBI know about me?”

Sean took a deep breath in, not exactly thrilled to arouse his boss’s anger. “They know your name, for starters.”

As expected, Mello’s face curled into that all-too-familiar snarl, his eyes wide, two razor-sharp icicles against his flaming red skin. “They what?! You useless piece of— Jesus, Sean, you didn’t think to tell me sooner? What, did they give it to Light?”

The rat threw his hands in the air, guiltless. “They don’t have a last name. By the rules of the Death Note, that’s not enough to kill you.”

“Well how did they get it?”

“Matt gave it to Near before he left the Wammy House. He told him your name was Mihael, that you had been living under the alias of Immanuel Feigel, and that you had run away in an attempt to capture Kira yourself.”

If he were less concerned with his reputation, Mello would have easily slammed his head into the wall, pulling his forehead away with bloodied chunks of drywall stuck to his skin. 

One tiny mistake five years ago had been enough to lead the SPK down his path. While he snuck through alleyways in New York City, having all but forgotten his old life, Matt had been dead-set on revenge, giving away everything he knew about his former boyfriend to earn back the thousand dollars he stole. 

Suffice it to say, Mello would never rummage through a drawer so loudly again. 

“Is that how he feels about me?” the man asked no one in particular. “After everything I did for him?”

“It seems like you and Near both have been trying to convince him to join you.”

“No shit, Sean… I already sent the postcard; if he hands that over to Near, he’ll have the address of the nightclub.” 

“I can try to intercept it, but—”

“Damnit!” Mello dragged one hand down his face, his nail polish chipping against his skin as the gravity of the situation dawned on him. “There’s nothing else I can do, is there? Unless Matt decides to join us, we’re fucked.”

“Would it be so terrible to close the nightclub?” Sean posed. “We’ve got plenty of revenue coming in, now, thanks to you… it’s not our only laundering front, anyway.”

“If we close it, then Matt will show up to the address and find no one. It’s bad enough he’s given information to Near, but we don’t really need him just to keep the SPK off our backs. He’s a technical genius.”

“I don’t understand… What are you planning that would require someone like him?”

In spite of everything, Mello began to laugh, unable to believe his rat’s stupidity. “God, you have no idea… don’t you even know who your boss is?”

“Commander Rester,” Sean answered, furrowing his brow.

“Better than him.”

“Near and Linda?”

“Better.”

“The… attorney general?”

“You’re hopeless,” Mello scoffed. “Forget it. Just know that once my plan goes through, we won’t have an SPK to worry about anymore… or, if it doesn’t go as planned, at least we won’t have Hoope in our way.”

Sean’s jaw dropped. “You’re going to assassinate him?”

“Leave that to me. Now, has the SPK found anything on Matt?” 

“Not much,” the rat admitted, still reeling from the revelation. “All we know, really, is that he went to college in Montreal after graduating. We can only assume he’s still there, but without his real name, we’ll stay at square one forever.”

“That’s fine, as long as they can’t contact him.” Unbothered, Mello pried open a bar of chocolate. “Now, aside from that… Sean, when Chief Yagami comes to pay the ransom, would you do me a little favor?” 

“Oh… of course.”

“I don’t want to be anywhere near LA when it happens, you know. God knows how much crazier Light’s gotten in the past few years… he could blow the whole base up easily, or kill all of us… hell, Yagami could just go rogue and take out anyone he thinks hurt his daughter.” 

Sean tilted his head. “I suppose so, but what are you asking me to do?”

“If it wouldn’t bother you, I was hoping I could stay with you here. It should only be a few days, and—” The man extended his bitten chocolate to his subordinate. “I won’t need much to eat, or bring a lot of luggage with me. The bare minimum, you know?”

Truly, there was no way Sean could refuse an order from his boss. Knowing this full-well, he plastered a smile as he responded, “That’d be perfectly fine.”

“I had a feeling you’d say that.”

“So did I, boss.”

Hearing that, Mello cackled. No matter how much blood stained his name, it seemed that man had never lost his sense of humor. After all, he was only nineteen. 

“You know what, Sean? Jack needs to take a lesson from you, that bastard… I’ll be sad to see you go, someday, man.”

Oblivious, Sean smiled. “Then you’ll be glad to know I’ve got thirty years before I retire.”

“Right… right…” Mello unceremoniously grabbed his coat from off of his chair, throwing it over one shoulder as he held onto his chocolate bar. “Well then, I guess we’re through. Do you have any other nosy questions about my plans?”

“Just one, if you wouldn’t mind.”

“Oh, God, I didn’t think you’d say yes… but go ahead.”

“You mentioned holding Sayu Yagami for ransom.” Genuinely curious, Sean crossed his arms. “But… we’ve already agreed that the gang has no need for money. I doubt that it’s money you’re after, anyway, so… what exactly do you want the chief to trade for his daughter?”

“That’s easy,” Mello snickered, folding his rat’s list of names into a tight square. “I want Higuchi’s Death Note.” 

Document: #MAF-2: Kal Snydar 

Kal Snydar: A New York/Los Angeles Mafioso

Born: 

23 February 1976, New York City, USA

Current Residence: 

Unknown (Likely Los Angeles, USA)

Previous Residences:

42 Barness Street, Suite 273, New York City, USA

Known Health Issues:

Crack Cocaine Addiction 

Relationships to Other Figures: 

Mello (suspected associate) 

Contacts:

N/A

Kal Snydar is an associate of the mafia syndicate outlined by the SPK, believed to be harboring Mello. Because he lacks Italian ancestry, he is presumably low-ranking. He has also been arrested four times, but was cleared each time due to lack of evidence. 

Born in Brooklyn, New York City, Snydar appears to have been raised in an insular Hasidic Jewish community, which he ran away from in 1990. He was reported missing by his father, Aron Snydar, that same year. He was later discovered by a member of the New York Police Department at the age of eighteen, but refused to return home. 

His first arrest was in 1993 for distributing crack cocaine. The following two arrests, in 1996 and 2002, were both for selling handguns without a license. In 2005, he was arrested on suspicion of murder. Again, he was released each time due to a lack of evidence, though he remained in FBI records as a suspicious person. 

At some point between 2002 and 2005, he moved from New York to Los Angeles, and has presumably been living there ever since. We do not know what his job or address is, although he has been spotted crossing the US-Mexican border several times, and must speak some level of Spanish. 

Like most criminals these days, he must be living under an alias to protect himself from Kira. The SPK is currently trying to figure out what that alias is, although they’re not getting very far. 

Analysis

He’s just another piece in whatever Mello is doing… not a very important one, but he’s one of the only pieces we have. We should keep an eye on him.

DS9 4x06 Starship Down thoughts (I’m re-watching, so beware spoilers for future episodes!)

[29 June '23]

Dax and Kira both rolling their eyes at Worf's "this is unacceptable" grumbles - same, ladies

"I'm fasting." Oh, interesting! Love an unexpected tidbit of Bajoran culture

"It's the anniversary of the Emissary's arrival." Oh

"Benjamin's never been one for ceremonies..." you don't say XD

Dax and Kira working side by side so much :3

"I made the mistake of letting my brother Rom execute these contracts." Rom is always the scapegoat, oh Quark. At least you're consistent XD

OH, THIS IS THE ONE WHERE THEY HAVE TO DISPOSE A BOMB!

"You cheated me, Quark, and you haven't even have the courage to admit it." Nice, I like this guy

I remember very little of this, actually! It's always fun to come into an episode not remembering much

"How long?" "Twenty minutes." "You've got ten." O'Brien's sigh... he sure does Have A Job

Julian pushing doors open like he's strong or something :P

Ohhhh, Sisko will think Dax and Bashir are dead 💔

"She did it." Oh, Kira's complete strickenness is heartbreaking

Quark's still trying to scheme... Of course

I can never see Quark's pink blue and white suit as anything but his trans pride suit XD

The fact Kira's eyes are still wet and Sisko is still so quiet and cut off. My heart.

"Something tells me they may be closer than you think." Good instincts! Only a little too late!

"Save your breath. I don't think there's anybody left alive up there." Gosh, this episode is hitting everyone hard.

I keep remembering what happens incrementally - now Kira's gonna keep Sisko alive by talking, right?

"It's very important that you listen to me, because there's gonna be a test later." Oh dear, Kira, you're doing your best and I love that this is your best <3

"Remind me to hold my breath next time." XD

"Is there anything else I should know?" "We only have a few hours of breathable air." "Thanks, anyway." XD Oh dear

"A year ago if you'd have done something like this, I would've thought you were just trying to be a hero." "And now?" "Now that I know you better I realise it was just a really stupid thing to do." I love these two so muchhhh. Her joke and his chuckle <3 <3 <3

Is Quark actually going to convince this guy to be more ferengi-like?

"They are not laid out properly." WORFFFFFFF. This is an emergency, things don't have to be perfect, just functional!!

Miles' uneasy look of I hope he doesn't say anything too bad that completely pisses off and disrespects my engineers

"What am I doing?" Oh, Kira <3

"Nerys?" !! I haven't got this far in my spreadsheet-data, but this is possibly the first time Sisko calls her by name??

And she responds "Yes, sir?" Going more formal the more informal he is!

The Federation mindset had so rubbed off on Quark - "It's up to us." Of course this is partly distrust that anyone will come and save them - but I think he's been influenced by hero-mindedness too

"If you don't mind my saying, Julian, that's a very strange fantasy." XD

Jadzia Julian friendship is the world to me tbh

Okay, I wasn't expecting Worf to actually take Miles' advice on board. Good for him!

"This can't happen. You can't die!" Oh, Kira. 

"I'm going to pray because I don't know what else to do." oh kira. Oh, Kira. This moment is so precious to me, I can't explain why. 

Oh boy, how is there SO MUCH going on in this episode that I had completely forgotten the Quark disabling a torpedo thing??

"I thought you said you never sold substandard merchandise. THis was supposed to explode on impact, wasn't it?" "Maybe I should offer them a refund." XD XD incredible

Their hysterical laughter to avoid thinking about their fear

"You just have to reach in.... and pick one!" JEEEEEZ QUARK WOW I KNEW IT WANT GONNA BLOW BUT STILL THAT WAS TERRIFYING

"Come on, Hanok. What do you say? You want to keep playing?" That was so flirty of you, Quark

The engineer's startlement at the bomb XD

"Just because one loses a bet, doesn't mean one gives up the game." Again, this was kinda flirty, no?

Odos pleased hm at Quark losing XD

What is wrong with Julian? "It's been nice.. talking... to you." That was not a human way of speaking 😅

"Thank you for rescuing me." "Now we're even." The second he takes to process that and then his outraged face! 

"Proceed at your discretion, Mr Stevens." Okay, this is nice :3 Worf gets character growth!

"Oh, you can do it in twelve." O'Brien dishing out the treatment he usually gets XD

SISKO'S GONNA ASK KIRA TO A BASEBALL GAME

AAAAH HIS HAPPY SMILE

HER HAPPY SMILE

THIS IS THE CUTEST

"NERYS" AGAIN!

I LOVE THAT HE JUST HAS SPARE HATS IN HIS OFFICE

FFFFFF SO CUTE SO CUTE I CANNOT

Okay, how on EARTH had I forgotten that episode so much??? It's incredible!!!!

Random L x Reader

The room in HQ is quiet, Light’s staring at L, who is eating cake and staring at the cameras. Matsuda is out with Misa doing whatever it is Misa does. ‘Matsuda seems to like her more than Light does.’ I, however, am sitting on the uncomfortable desk chair with my legs resting on the desk in front of me and my laptop sitting on my lap, burning my leg. “No, no, no. Don’t do this to me.” I start to panic as some of the keys stop responding. It’s an old mac, but it’s been so reliable until now. My legs fall off the desk and I lean forward, putting my computer on it instead. “Come on, baby, don’t die on me!” I talk to it, hitting the unresponsive buttons, hoping they’ll start working again.

“What’s wrong?” Light asks and I restrain the urge to throw something at him. Laughter comes from next to him, not giggles or light chuckles, full on laughter. Following that, a loud thud echoes around the room as L falls off his chair from laughing so hard.

“The keys stopped responding. Ryuzaki! Stop laughing! That’s ru-ude.” I choke out through the frustration tears that start coming down my cheeks. He stops laughing when he hears me crying. ‘I can’t afford a new laptop and this one has so much on it that I can’t lose.’ My final option is to risk losing my current work and restart the device. I hold down the power button and pray it works. The screen turns on again and I press all the previously unresponsive keys, still nothing. “Come on, I love you, I love you, don’t give up on me yet.” Finally, after thirty seconds of just pressing every key, they all start working again and I sigh in relief.

“Hmm. So your solution to it not working is to slam the keyboard and tell it you love it?” Ryuzaki put his thumb to his lip, staring at me as if I were the weird one while he’s still sitting on the floor. “How would that help it?” “I don’t know, but it did. Little shit of a thing gave me a heart attack doing that.” Light gives me a pointed look that tells me exactly what he thinks of my comment. “Don’t look at me like that, you two. I have a lot of stuff on here that if I lose, I will lose for good.” The screen of my laptop turns off in that moment. I press the power button a couple times, but it doesn’t turn back on. I slide off the chair and onto my knees, trying not to stress-cry again.

“Jesus christ, buy a new laptop! You’re not poor, you’re just cheap.” Light yells, I know he’s joking though by the slight smile. Pulling myself off the floor, I walk over to help Ryuzaki up since he seems to have no intention of getting up himself. I reach my hand down to him and he takes it with his cuffed hand and I pull him up. ‘I’ve never noticed how tall he is before. He’s really close to me, it would be so easy to just kiss-’ I cut off my thoughts and smile at him, letting go of him and quickly walking up the stairs to my room. I’ need to focus, I’m here to help him catch Kira, not drool over him, and besides, I should NOT be crushing on the guy that wants to lock up my only brother.’ Ryuzaki blushes and makes that cute, embarrassed face he made the first day he met Misa.

“Pull yourself together, dumbass. I mean, come on, that’s so overrated anyway.” I try to convince myself as I go up the many steps. ‘At this rate, I won’t need to go to a gym.’ My room here is very tidy, unlike my usual one. The charger is sitting on my bedside where it’s easy to find.

I hastily plug the device in, ‘the battery is not the same as it was five years ago.’ While I wait for it to charge, I zone out, imagining what could happen if only Ryuzaki felt the same. He and Light are talking about something, I think it’s something to do with cake, I don’t know. ‘I wonder what it would feel like to cuddle him and even kiss him.’

“You look tired, Airi, you should go to bed.” I nod, but make no move to get up, my eyes staying on one spot. I should get up and go to bed, but I’m frozen, just staring, it feels really good though, I don't know why. “Airi?” My eyes finally move to Light, he and Ryuzaki are staring at me, though they have completely different looks. Light looks fed up with me already and Ryuzaki seems to find it very humorous.

“Something funny, Ryuzaki?” I call him out and he blushes again. ‘He’s so funny to mess with.’ “Damn it, how are you so damn adorable?” I say out loud, before I can stop myself. One hand quickly covers my mouth, the other grabs my laptop off the charger and I run straight up the stairs to hide in my room. I hear the distinct sound of the handcuffs behind me, but ignore it.

~Light POV (I hate him)~

Ryuzaki pulls me up the stairs with him, going after Airi. ‘His crush is so obvious, so is hers, yet they’re so damn oblivious to each other's feelings.’ “Ugh! I’m only saying this because I’m sick of getting dragged along with you to follow her, only for nothing to happen. She likes you! Just don’t tell her I told you, or do, I don’t care anymore.” I run my hand through my hair to relieve some of the annoyance and frustration the two make me feel.

“Interesting. I put it at 86% chance she felt the same way, thank you, Light. You are a good friend.” He says as he walks ahead of me. I roll my eyes at him and hope for this to be over quickly, if he goes through with it.

~Airi POV~

A knock came from the door and I open it, hoping Misa might be back. Ryuzaki and Light stand on the other side, looking nervous. “If my deductions are correct, which they always are, there’s a 92% chance you feel the same way about me as I do about you.” Ryuzaki walks into my room without being invited. I glare at Light, and roll my eyes.

“Actually, you’re wrong.” The look of shock on his face is priceless. He looks sad for a second and it breaks my heart so I quickly finish. “The chance would be 100%.”

[thegeminisage]

ok its star trek update time. once again i am So Fucking Behind thank you work week from hell. monday (i think...) we watched ds9's "starship down" and "little green men," tuesday we did voy's "cold fire" and ds9's "sword of kahless," wednesday was voy's "maneuvers," except we watched it right after we watched star wars so i was incapable of paying attention properly, and last night we got ds9's "our man bashir" and voy's "resistance." whew!

starship down (ds9):

ALMOST perfect. i have very few notes here

first of all, sisko my best friend sisko my favorite guy sisko. i think it was very fun drama that sisko had to order the little bulkhead closed when he knew dax would die if he did in order to save the ship. i JUST WISH. he and dax. or he and literally anyone. had spoken about it afterward. i mean he thought his BEST FRIEND was DEAD and that it was HIS FAULT and we arent gonna follow through on that? what is this, tng??

that said, it was such a lovely way to deepen his relationship with kira...my best friend kira my favorite terrorist girl kira. it's easy to forget that she she has a truly and deeply held genuine belief that her boss is space jesus who is gonna save her people. and so then you've got. Your Boss, Who Is Jesus, But Also A Fallible Human Man. dying of a brain injury on the floor of your little spaceship. and what can you do! you only talk about work! kira wasn't out there making fun of him for "it's a big step" absoluuuutely not. she's just gotta tell him jack and the beanstalk, space version. and try to keep him from passing out. and then pray even though he thinks that's awkward. what a moment

AND THEYRE GONNA PLAY BASEBALL LATER. it it a TRAVESTY that baseball isn't ds9's thing the way poker was for tng or pool is for voyager. i understand it would be more expensive to shoot but like they got a whole ass set for that pool hall. come on.

side plot of bashir diving back in to save dax...WAH THEY LOVE EACHOTHER. HE'S SUCH A GOOD PERSON!!!!!! GOD

other side plot of quark lowkey being at fault for all of this (by cheating those guys) initially annoyed me but this episode did so much for quark in the me community because then he's like yeah i can deprogram the torpedo. and he can get in but not deprogram it. he just gets lucky. idk. it's so nice to see him do literally anything other than make unfunny jokes AND WHEN HE DOES he does a great job.

my final note is that it was charming kira misunderstood "hot dogs" but that quark will know what they are. how much do you think sisko had to pay him to get him to start making those for the holosuites lol

little green men (ds9):

im so glad i was able to forgive quark before this episode

this one was...fine. i enjoyed rom and nog a lot, and i didn't mind quark very much. he even made me laugh a couple of times!

i enjoyed all the jokes about how stupid were to be smoking and dropping atom bombs. when even QUARK is shocked at your behavior ("they IRRADIATED they OWN PLANET?") you know you've really fucked up

this raises so many questions about the universal translators though. people just...have those? under their skin? in their ears? all the time? then what on earth did they need a big one for in tos? what is this, farscape?

i've just now learned one of the guys in this ep was in tos, but since i never rewatch way to eden i didn't recognize him at all. iirc he famously said he'd love to come back to trek one day but only if they let him wear proper clothes. i am absolutely tickled with this information i love star trek

also, it was funny when nog said "i'm supposed to report you for smuggling but i'm not sworn in yet so i'll keep it under my hat for 10%." i love him so much.

of course, my favorite part of this episode was surprise odo. i remember joking when the dog put its paws on quark's chest "haha it's odo" and then 2 seconds later the dog DID TURN INTO ODO and i lost my fucking mind. my best friend odo...we haven't had any odo-centric content in awhile so this was a nice way to tide me over until "crossover," which ik is going to be a biggie and which BETTER BE FUCKING GOOD.

cold fire (voy):

my absolute favorite thing about this episode was that we get a little outside pov on voyager. this dangerous warship that appeared out of nowhere and leaves destruction in its wake with its advanced technology. <3 like, is that what theyre doing? no, at least not on purpose, but i absolutely LOVE that it's how they look to outsiders.

someone has got to teach kes how to recognize a red fucking flag. that guy was soooo shady from the get-go. girl, run. you know it's dire when even neelix's paranoia is justified.

actually, neelix wasn't in this ep much, but i liked what we had of him. he was willing to go with kes anywhere and just wanted her to be safe and live longer. wah. i really wish he didn't have this jealousy plotline as a black mark on his record because i REALLY like him otherwise

i liked the horror elements in this one at the end! the demonic little blonde girl, the women being pinned to the ceiling dripping blood...you may stop watching s*pernatural but you will never really stop watching s*pernatural. VERY surprising but in a fun way. also, tentacles

on a final note, tuvok is a VERY good sport about almost getting his head boiled by kes. like yes logic blah blah blah she does need instruction but just bc vulcans dont allow emotions to control them doesnt mean they dont FEEL emotions. anyone else would have been through with teaching her forever probably. i love tuvok so much i am so happy every time he is on my screen

sword of kahless (ds9):

RETURN OF THE KING!!!!! i'm so glad if any one of them lived it was going to be kor. i thought he died and that would have been kinder probably but he was the first ever klingon on star trek...he deserved another episode the most. also, if i had had to look at squire of gothos guy again it would've made me unwell

ALSO, KIRK MENTION. i literally had to rewind it and listen again 😭

i LOVED the first half of this episode. i loved dax and worf getting to know each other in a more subtle way, and i REALLY loved kor treating worf really niceys and vice versa. they were such good buddies! we were having a great time!

everybody got really annoying after they found the sword, except of course for dax, who got to be really fucking done in a funny way. dax having a consistent personality now has made her so fun, genuinely

and like, i kept wondering if the sword was cursed, how it made them act this way, why weren't they in their right minds...and then in the end it was Just Them. they quite literally tried to murder each other and it was JUST THEM. which could have been a very sobering realization if it was played that way, if like dax had assumed there was a curse or a psychic something-or-other messing with them, and then they realized in the cold light of day they had no excuses to fall back on...but that's not what they did, so, eh. gets an "either" on the spreadsheet. rip season 4's winning streak

i will say i had to google halfway thru the ep whether kor died and found out he does come back but then dies later. i'd rather know though because i couldn't take the anxiety.

OH WAIT YEAH I NEARLY FORGOT.................the return of that random kid from that one tng episode. fucking insane. the DEEP deep lore. i couldn't believe it

maneuvers (voy):

SESKA MY BEST FRIEND SESKA. SHE IS BACK!!! TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE

kazon politics in this episode were BOOOORINGGG but seska made up for it

rewinding a little: chakotay and b'elanna flirting at the beginning was hot. i STILL can't believe she ends up with tom paris. that said, chakotay could work with almost any character on this cast. he's just great like that. thats why seska wanted him

also, i liked that janeway took the time to explain to neelix why "one little computer component" had the potential to cause sooo much trouble. it's a clever way to disguise that what she's really doing is explaining it to the audience, but it's also kind to stop and take a second to genuinely hear and respond to his concern, and make him understand, instead of just getting annoyed

b'elanna is really that ride or die friend. chakotay fucked RIGHT off and she still went to bat for him MULTIPLE times to try and get janeway to go easy on him. in the pilot she wouldn't leave without harry kim even though she didn't even really like him because they had been stuck together. she defends tuvok in an episode later too that i'll get into when i get there but i really truly and deeply love that about her. NO one is more loyal than b'elanna

some SERIOUS close encounter shit happening in this episode with seska. i'm thrilled that chakotay finally gets some juicy drama that they don't need to consult their fake racist expert to write. especially because:

BABY? SESKA IS GONNA HAVE CHAKOTAY'S BABY?? god i can't fucking wait. then he'll have just 3 less babies than tuvok. who has 4 babies, if i haven't mentioned that yet today

also, his scene with janeway at the end...AUGH. one thing that differentiates voyager from tng for ME is how much they all love each other on voyager. it comes through SO clearly, even when they're angry with one another, maybe especially then. tng was so. STERILE. every scene janeway and chakotay have together is CRACKLING. voyager has had a lot of duds so far, it's true, but you just don't get that kind of tension on tng - or when you do it's very very VERY rare

our man bashir (ds9):

another ds9 s4 ep i'm "eh" about..i mean, i don't like holodeck episodes in the best of circumstances, but i genuinely believed if anyone could pull it off it'd be ds9. however i am feeling so lukewarm

garak and julian were incredible, of course. i was particularly thrilled by the bit at the end where julian straight-up plagiarized him to stall for time. AND after thinking about it i like that garak was literally willing to leave them to die - it seemed ouit of character at first, because you think of him as a Good Guy Who Is On Our Side Because He Has Breakfast With Odo, but maybe actually it serves as a nice little reminder that he's still quite unknown

AND i love when avery brooks gets to act unhinged. mirror sisko i will miss you forever

i also liked that horny thing o'brien did with the gun. do it again

that said...the set-up for this episode was sooo flimsy. like, why was garak even there, for starters. like it's kind of funny that he's just being nosy but also like. it is flimsy

also, i've never seen any bond movies, which means i didn't get most of the bond jokes

but my major complaint was the women...what is this, tng? jadzia "honey bear" dax was one thing - dax kind of likes being sexy and showing herself off and she's more than down to clown. but putting KIRA in the holosuite and then objectifying her like that (AND making her kiss julian! i know the actors were married but cmon) just feels...so demeaning. kira would never want this. we quite literally had an entire episode devoted to the fact that kira would feel angry and violated for her image to be used in the holodeck for any purpose, let alone sexy ones.

even in that one episode with old bashir in the coma, which may as well have been a holodeck episode, we learned something about him. the episode fucking sucked but we came away from it with some measure of character development. we got nothing here but a fun time (if you have seen bond movies and don't mind objectifying women).

resistance (voy):

THIS ONE MADE ME CRY............

that weird creepy old man...i spent all of the episode going if anything happens to this guy i'll kill everyone in this room and then myself

and by the time we got to the end and he DID die i was almost grateful because then at least he can stop missing his family.

AND LIKE I BELIEVED HIM. i was right there with janeway!!! i was like damn you gotta go find his wife before you leave AND SHE WAS REALLY GONNA GO. she was gonna risk her life for it! BUT SHE'S DEAD

and then at the end when she isn't listening harry kim doesn't look hurt or offended he's just CONCERNED. because they LOVE HER her crew LOVES HER. like what the fuck

anyway i'm glad he killed that guy FUCK that guy no one deserved to kill him more than that old man

the other thing that really got me was tuvok and b'elanna. again, b'elanna is the ride or die friend bc when they tried to take him she was LITERALLY going to fight 3 guys with guns to her certain death to keep it from happening and only didn't because tuvok told her not to.

i am so sad for tuvok always. he is so far from home and they were TORTURING him!!! he hasn't seen his 4 babies or the orchids he breeds in like a year and they're torturing him!!!!! i really loved his and b'elanna's conversation when he got back to the cell...it was a very sweet moment between them

but i MOSTLY loved when tuvok got to vulcan nerve pinch that guy. not NEARLY enough vulcan nerve pinching in this series since spock left if you ask me. i want him to do that many more times

also, absolutely giddy that nobody bothered to explain what it is to either the characters or the audience. we all knew. everybody say thank you leonard nimoy

WHEW. that was so many, may it never pile up like this again, etc etc. TONIGHT: ds9's "homefront" and "paradise lost."

11/26/2023 DAB Chronological Transcription

Acts 17-18:18

Welcome to Daily Audio Bible Chronological. I'm Jill. Today's the 26th day of November, welcome everybody. We are beginning a brand new week together and the hope of possibility that newness brings. And maybe I should say the hope and possibility that newness brings- a newness brings hope and possibility so no matter how you look at it it's a brand new week. It's hopeful, it's full of possibility and it's just a great reminder that whenever we need to we can simply begin again. I'm grateful for that. Also a very happy birthday to the creator of Daily Audio Bible Chronological, China my daughter and my friend. That feels good to say. So very proud of her and her commitment to this community and to her family first. So it's a joy to celebrate China as our daughter and then to be able to publicly celebrate her here as our leader at Daily Audio Bible Chronological. So China I hope you feel loved, seen and special as you are today. Happy birthday. We are back in the book of Acts beginning with chapter 17 verse 1 and then sort of a different reading for today. We will finish Acts in chapter 18 with verse 18. It's a brand new week. We're starting a brand new translation. We'll be reading the New International version today. Acts chapter 17.

Prayer:

Father we thank you for another week, a new beginning, turned page, the reminder that we can simply begin again no matter who we are, no matter where we are, no matter what we've been through, no matter what we can come back to you. We can have intimacy with you and not be stuck in our shame, stuck in our guilt from our past. And so we embrace this newness. We give you this week. We consecrated to you and ask that you do what you want. We give you permission to do that- laying our will, surrendering our ideas, our agendas, our opinions of how you should come and work for us and we open our hands to receive all that you would do, say, speak in us, among us and through us. We love you, thank you and praise you and pray this now in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

Announcements:

Looking forward to a beautiful week and time together in the word as we continue forward. I'm Jill, until tomorrow, love one another.

Community Prayer Line:

I need to update you guys and thank everybody for praying. Kingdom Seeker Daniel and everybody else who prayed for me. Oh this is Kira contrite spirit and my son is Nish and he's been on a trail of your journey of like drug use, homelessness, you know mental issues that come along with like a lot of drug use and it's it's...there's a turning point right now. I am praising the Lord. I've been praying for breakthrough. I've been praying for clarity in his situation for me and for him and I've been giving him up to the Lord. It's been a process this past 3 years. I've been trying to help him and it's gotten to the point where it's just God's perfect perfect amazing timing. It looks like he's on track. I've filed this petition legally and looks like he's on track for mandatory court appointed treatment for for substance and I think the mental health part of it is well because that's his situation. And I'm just thanking Jesus for the prayers of the saints. I thank you for allowing me to obey and take the steps and listen and just pray without ceasing and listening to God and for being able to obey and take the steps and and y'all it's just...I'm so thankful and I'm so grateful to God. So just agree with me in prayer thanking God for clarity...and just and God drawing him near which he is doing and and just for a new life. Amen. In Jesus name. 

Hey it's Simone from Texas calling in. I just left the doctor's for my two week check up and thank you guys so much everyone has called and prayed that didn't call. But did pray my numbers for my kidney function doubled and they are doing much much better. So I'm on the road to healing as far as that's concerned. I took the doctors advice seriously and I did everything necessary. They did find a lump in my breast so I have to go and have an ultrasound done and see a specialist. They want to rule out and make sure it is not breast cancer and saying that my sister died at 39 years old from it, it is serious and it's something I will. Yeah so I have the ultrasound and the specialist appointment in December, so keep me in prayer. Blood pressure not doing that great. She actually had to put me on two more medications. Now I am, I'm now everything...it is just yeah so I'm on the mends in one area but not doing so well as far as the blood pressure is concerned. I've been really really sick with that so just wanted to give you guys an update. I'm still listening everyday and praying for you guys and I'll check in in 3 weeks after my next visit. A couple of ladies from my Bible study that I was at yesterday recommended for me to give to my cousin who's going through a rough time in her marriage. It is called, Love Must Be Tough. They both- so this book has saved their marriage. So I do want to recommend that to you. I can't remember the author but that's the name of the book. And also I wanted to ask for prayer for myself. I feel kind of silly asking but I wanted to ask for a prayer for godly friendships. I just honestly feel lonely over the past few years. I've really been kind of coming to the end of a very very long friendship about 25 years that I've known this friend and we used to be super close. We were at each other's house everyday. Growing up my sister and I were always with her and her family and just over the past couple years I've just all become a little more distant and so I just feel lonely at times. My husband works usually when I'm not working and I will stay home with our son when my husband is working and it's amazing getting to be home with our son. I just I miss friendship. I miss people to talk to. I miss people to hang out with and I want it to be godly people. I want godly influences in my life that are going to help me grow closer to the Lord and not draw me away from him. So just wanted to ask for prayer that I will find godly friends. I love you guys so much and thank you for this community.
