"Okay, let's go over the schedule for the group for the upcoming promotion period, shall we?" Your manager said as she turned on the projector and passed out the stack of papers that looked like a dictionary from how thick it was.

'This is going to be a long meeting...' You thought as you sighed, not wanting to deal with the stress of the upcoming promotion.

"Unnie, aren't you excited?" One of your members said excitedly as she bounced around in her seat.

"Chae, calm down. Unnie is always excited for a new comeback, right, Unnie?" The girl next to you said, waiting for your response.

"Of course, I'm excited, guys... don't I look excited, Ryu?" You said, forcing a smile onto your lips.

"Unnie, are you okay?" The girl across from you asked, leaning across the table to grab your hands. "We're worried about you."

"Yuna, I'm..." You were about to respond, but your manager interrupted as she began the meeting. You give the girls a reassuring smile and look down at the dictionary of papers in front of you.

"Let's get started, yeah?" Your manager went on and on about the promotion period from the concept to the album cover to the award shows. It was a lot of information to digest, but as the leader of ITZY, you have to be ready for anything.

"And Y/N, you will MC with the solo artist Tiffany Young... this week, I think, ah yes, this week."

Your ears perked up like dog as you sat up from your slouched position. The Tiffany Young, like 'Lips on Lips' like 'Only One' Tiffany? Like Stephanie Hwang, Tiffany? Your idol and the love of your life since you were like five... this can't be real.

"Oh my gosh, really? Like the actual Tiffany Young? Like Girls Generation, SNSD but now is an independent solo artist, Tiffany Young?"

"Yes, I think there's only one Tiffany Young in the industry."

"There she is, our happy leader." Yeji said smiling at your gush of happiness.

"Unnie, it's only because she is her little crush." Lia said with slight sarcasm and in high pitched voice.

"Correction. She is the love of my life. My wife, you could even say."

"Here she goes. Someone get a mop." Ryujin said gesturing towards the floor beneath you.

The room filled with laugh at Ryujin's joke causing your face to warm in slight embarrassment as you hid your face with your hands.

"Okay, Okay. We still have a lot to cover girls."

"Ms. Y/N, it's time." The staff member of the award show said as she knocked at ITZY's dressing room. You were going the finishing touches on your makeup and dress when the palms on your hands felt wet and your stomach began to flutter. You don't normally get this nervous meeting anyone but this is someone you really admire.

"You'll be fine, sweetheart." Your stylist said as she wiped the palms of your hands clean, well so what clean of the sweat. You gave her warm smile before turning to your members, who all gave you thumbs up and compliments on your appearance which warmed your heart.

"Aw, thanks guys!" You said placing your hands over your chest.

"Okay, stop stalling. You have to go." Yeji said as she pushed you towards the dressing room door.

"Wait, I forgot..." You're still trying to stall that's how nervous you are.

"Forgot what, Unnie?" Chaeryeong said standing before Yeji with her hands on her hips.

"Forgot..." You looked around for something logical to bring with you.

"Exactly! See you out there, Unnie." Yuna said as Yeji pushed you out of the dressing room.

"Ms. Y/N, are you ready?" The female staff asked, clutching onto a clipboard in her hand and the other against the ear piece attached to her ear.

"I don't have a choice, do I?" You sighed as the staff member shook her head. "Yeah, I'm ready."

The walk to the backstage felt like forever, the hall leading got longer the more steps you took. Finally reaching backstage another staff member hands you a mic and cards that you assume have each artist in the category and the winner of the category. As you look through the cards, there was a tap on your shoulder as you look up your eyes avert back to your cards. It's her.

"Hi, I'm Tiffany Young. It's nice to meet you."

Her voice...

You slowly lift your head to the older female as she stands there with her hand extended for a handshake. You took your hand into hers, shaking it gently.

Her skin...

"Hi, I'm umm... Y/N L/N, leader of umm... girl group... ITZY. It's nice meet you as well, Unnie." You said stumbling and stuttering over your words.

'This is so humiliating.'

"Oh, you're a leader? You must have your hands full, huh?" Tiffany said, chuckling lightly.

Her laugh...

"Yeah, it was hard in the beginning but I think I got the ropes now." You said.

"Ladies, you're on." The staff gesturing the two of you towards the stage entrance.

"Ready? Tiffany said, still holding your hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"Yes. Are you ready, Unnie? You said, looking down at your hands and then back at Tiffany.

"Let's go."

The women walk on stage hand in hand. Little did they know this was going to be the start of a beautiful friendship that could never be broken or could it?

'I should just say it, right? I mean, what's the worst that could happen? I can respect if she doesn't feel the same.'

"We're best friends, right? So we can tell each other anything no matter what? And it won't ruin our friendship?" You asked as you sat on your bed alongside your best friend, Tiffany Young.

"Yes, of course, just say it. I'm all ears." Tiffany said, repositioning herself on your bed so now she is face you, grabbing your hands into hers.

"Okay, I'm just gonna say it. Unnie, I really like you. Like more than a friend. We're been friends for so long and this feeling I have for you has been there for a long time. I tried to push it off but there was no use because it would just come back again." You kept your head down to avoid her eye contact as much possible but her touch left yours as she got off your bed.

You looked up as Tiffany stood at the edge of your bed with her hands running through her long black locks. You crawled to the edge of your bed and went to grab her hand but she stepped away.

"No, Y/N, just like you said, we are friends, and I think we should keep it that way. I mean, how do you think people, media, our fandoms would look at us?" Tiffany said

"Who cares about..."

"I care that who, Y/N. I do. I'm going look like a fucking creep dating someone as younger as you." Tiffany shouted as grabbed her coat and purse.

"Unnie, please..." You stood from your bed, grabbing her hand, pulling her into your arms. "I just thought that... we had gotten so close... that... maybe you would feel the same."

"Well, I don't, so just please understand for my sake." Tiffany said, removing your arms from her waist and back away towards your bedroom door. "Umm, I'll see you later."

"Yes, I guess." Your heart shattered as you watched your best friend and love walk away from you. The sound of your apartment door closing felt like a fucking knife destroying your already broken heart.

'I guess that's the worst that could happen.'

"Thanks for coming over. I've been so bored since the group has been on this break. I don't know what to do with this free time." You said as you step aside, allowing Solar to come inside.

You and Solar had been hanging out for a while after the previous event. She had been a big help with keeping your mind off of Tiffany and the heartbreak and embarrassment of your confession. Pulling away and healing was the best option besides moping around all brokenhearted and sad. Yes, of course, you miss your best friend and feel absolutely horrible for ruining your friendship but you feel that staying away and distancing yourself was for the best.

"Of course, Y/N! Anytime you need me, I'm here. No matter how late or early." Solar said as she kicked off her shoes at the front door and took off her jacket. "So what's on the agenda?"

"I know that's might sound boring, but I don't really want to go out tonight. I'm still recovering from last Friday night. Maybe just watch a movie and cuddle?" You said, hoping that the plan was too boring for Solar considering she is a party girl on a Friday night.

"Okay there's one movie that I really want to watch, but I haven't gotten around to watch it." Solar said, agreeing with the plans for the night. "I'll find the movie and you get the snacks?"

"Okay." You said as the two of you went your separate ways.

'Tonight should be fun.'

Another call that goes straight to voicemail, another text that goes unanswered and another stop by being ignored. Tiffany felt like she lost her best friend for the dumbest reason ever, just over a simple confession, a simple crush. But the truth is, she really missed you. She missed being able to call, text or even stop by whenever she wanted to rant, cry or to simply just talk to her best friend but that's all gone because of her own fearful reasons.

"She doesn't seem to care too much. She's with Solar right now." Tiffany's friend said as she scrolled through her Instagram feed.

"What!!" Tiffany said, snatching the phone from her friend's hand and began to scroll through your profile to see different photos of you and Solar together.

"Yeah, I mean, they have been hanging out for the past couple weeks. Now that I think about it, I saw them at the club last Friday and... they were really close like they were very touchy." The friend hesitated saying the last part not wanting to upset Tiffany anymore.

Tiffany threw the phone down on the couch as she started to grab her keys and jacket. She had to fix this and fast before she lost her best friend forever.

"Tiff, where are you going?" The friend said as she watched her friend frantically grabbing her things. "Oh, don't tell me you're going over there?"

"Why not? I need to fix this. She confessed to me, and I rejected her because I was scared. I was scared of what others would think of me instead of following my heart. My heart is telling me to fix this because I love her." Tiffany said on the verge of tears. "So yes, I'm going over there."

"I don't think that's a good idea, Tiff." Her friend said trying to convince her not to go to save her from the possible heartbreak to follow.

"No, I'm gonna fix this." Tiffany said as she walked towards the front door. "So don't wait up for me, okay?"

'How stupid could I be?'

"That was good movie, Solar. I could watch it again."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I nearly shit myself. Why did you let me pick the movie?"said Solar, who was basically in your lap by the end of the movie.

"No, you sa..." The doorbell rang, followed by a knock at your door interrupting you mid sentence. You looked at Solar in confusion. "Did you order something?"

Solar shook her head, "No."

"Who would come here this late?" You said as you got up to at your camera. Your heart dropped at the sight of your best friend at your front door.

"Y/N, who is it?" Solar said as she grew somewhat concerned as her friend stared at the camera as the knocks continued but this time followed by a voice.

"Y/N, I just want to talk to you. I miss you. Please open the door." The voice of Tiffany filled your ears as you walked towards the door. Hand on the knob as you brought up the courage to open the door to face your heartbreak. You hadn't seen or spoken to her since that day.

"Hi..." Tiffany said as you opened the door. "Can we talk?"

"Hey, Y/N, I'm gonna go. See ya later, okay?" Solar said as she slipped into her shoes and jacket, wrapping her arms around you, she whispers into your ear, "Call if you need me."

"Yeah... bye..." You said as your responses could only come out short from the shock of Tiffany just popping up after all this time.

It's just the two of you now, standing there, not saying a single word to one another, just staring at each other, waiting for the other to say or do something.

"Um..." Tiffany clears her throat. "Can I come in? You know to talk?"

Without speaking, you step aside, allowing Tiffany to walk inside. As Tiffany removed her jacket and shoes, she began to speak, but you walked away to sit on the couch, waiting for Tiffany to speak.

"Okay... I know you probably don't even want to see me, let alone speak to me right now, but..." Tiffany sat on the couch next to you, her eyes staring at the side of your face as you couldn't even look at her again. "I came to fix this."

"We're... we were best friends, and our friendship was ruined for no reason at all. I miss you so much, and I want to fix this to make it better. I rejected you at the time because I was scared. I was scared of others' opinions on me, you, us and I didn't want to put you through that."

"But I realized that I really like you too, and I don't care about what anyone has to say or think. I love you, Y/N. I really did." Tiffany said, grabbing your hands into hers. You look down at your hand in hers, which reminds you of when the two of you first met.

The soften of her skin against yours...

The pureness of her voice filled your ears...

"I completely understand if you don't feel the same anymore. I just thought I would..."

You listened as your best friend, lover rambled on and on, you looked her with lustful filled eyes. You leaned in, placing a small peck upon her lips, "You talk a lot."

"Yeah..." Tiffany laughed. "I should maybe shut up."

"Yeah, you should shut up and let me love you." You said as you straddled her lap, watching as her eyes shift from your eyes to your lips and back again. You laughed she was so needy for more just from a little peck on the lips. Her hands rested at your waist as she desperately yearns for more.

"Kiss me again, please." Tiffany said, biting her lip as she rubbed at your waist.

You laugh. "Is that what you want? For me to kiss you, hmm? You're so cute."

As your hands find their way to her neck, tilting her head back, you lean down and push your lips against hers once more. The feeling of your soft lips pressing together so in sync made Tiffany pull your body as close as she could, your chest pressed firmly against each other as moans fell from her lips into yours. The kiss grew more and more desirable and stronger. You just wanted to be in each other's skin, molded into one another. The heat between the two of you grew, heavy, labored breathes arose as you pulled away for an open pocket of air.

"I missed you so much." You said breathing heavily as your foreheads rest against each other's.

"I missed you too." Tiffany gulped as she tried to catch her breath. "I should have come sooner. I need you right now."

Tiffany's hands yanked at the hem of your shirt, placing it over your head as your lips found hers again. Your bra straps fell from your shoulders as Tiffany had unhooked it from behind. Her hands cup over your breast, kneading the skin and pinching your nipples. Your moans seep into your best friend's mouth as she swallows your sound. Her lips left yours, kiss travel down your neck, leaving a hickey or two to your collarbone. Her lips feel so nice against your skin, your head fell back in satisfaction as Tiffany's lips went lower, attaching themselves to your breast, her tongue lap around the sensitive skin, humming at the softness of your skin.

"It feels so good, Unnie." You moaned.

"Unnie is just getting started, my sweet girl. Unnie is gonna take good care of you." Tiffany said seductively.

Tiffany laid your body against the couch. Her clothed body created a function against your skin as she lowered herself onto you, hooking her fingers into the fabric of your underwear, pulling them down your legs slowly. Her tongue dragged along your skin as she kissed down your stomach. You propped yourself up on your elbow, watching Tiffany inch closer to your core. She kissed along your thighs she spoke to you,

"Is there something you need? Hum? What is it, baby?" Tiffany's eyes locked with yours.

Every word she spoke, her breath would hit your core as she drew closer and closer. You couldn't even make out the correct words to have her give you want, what you need. You buck your hips upwards towards her lips, gasping as you feel Tiffany's lips lightly tap against your awaiting core. Tiffany smirked, watching you grow more and more desperate to be satisfied.

You whined. "Unnie, please..."

"Oh you want me to take care of this? You want me to give this little pussy some attention, hum? You're so cute." Tiffany said, mimicking your words from earlier. "So fucking cute."

Tiffany pulled your waist towards her face, causing you to gasp as your body hit the couch. She parts your labia, focusing on your clit as she drags her tongue through your folds. Her tongue flicked so experimental as if she had done this before, sending shivers down your spine the more she licked.

"Unnie... s' good... s' good..." You whined, back arching against the couch as the pressure bulit and bulit. Now, this is not your first time, but it's never felt like this before, never felt this good.

"Uh, you taste so fucking good." Tiffany said, her face stuff into your dripping core. Her lips latched onto your clit, sucking and swirling her tongue around the sensitive bud until moans fall from your lips. She loved hearing how vocal you were, letting her know how good she was making you feel.

So full... you felt so full... Tiffany's fingers sunk into into starting with one... then two... pumping in and out of you whilst she watched you through her hooded eyes as your expressions changed. Your body shuttered under her touch, legs locking around her head as your hands pull at her hair.

"Un... nie... I..." You could barely make out words between the licking, sucking and pumping, your brain felt like mush, your vision began to blur as tears pooled in your eyes. She was fucking you dumb and she knew it. Her fucking smirk against your core when she curls her fingers inside of bringing you higher and higher.

"Come on, baby... give it to me..." Tiffany said, unlatching herself but still pumping her wrist faster and faster. "Let it go, pretty girl... for me..."

"Pl... ea... se..." You grip onto her wrist, arching against the couch while Tiffany's pace only quickens. "Un... nie..."

"I know, baby..." Tiffany brought herself close to your lips, pressing her lips against yours as she continued to whisper sweet words between the kisses and thrusts.

The pit of your stomach began to full with the tension of euphoria and warmth. It was so tight, you felt like you were about to burst. Your body began to tremble, head lolled to the side as your orgasm rippled through your body. Tiffany kissed your cheek and neck, slowing her pace as you rode down from your high.

"There you go, baby..."

"Unnie, can I touch you?" You said, still coming down from your high. You didn't want to leave her untouched or uncared for just because you got yours. That's just not fair.

Tiffany, of course, was not about to turn you down, stands and began to remove her clothing, keeping this intense eye contact with you the entire time, each clothing item dropped to the floor. Your thighs clinging together whilst Tiffany removed her clothes. You felt like you could have burst once more just from the simple removal of clothing. Tiffany stood there with complete hunger in her eyes. "Well..."

You grab her hand, pulling her towards you. Your hands grazing over her body, lips kissing over her stomach as she grips the back of your neck.

"So beautiful, Unnie." You said, pulling her down onto the couch before placing yourself before her legs.

You looked up at her as you begin to rub through her folds, feeling how wet she is. You place your lips onto her core, leaving a few kiss before running your tongue through her folds. Tiffany bit her lip as she threw her head back let out a soft whimper.

"Oh, baby..." Tiffany looked down at you whilst your eyes were closed as you focused all your attention on her and only her.

You latched onto her similar to how she did to you, rolling your tongue all over her clit. You curled your arms around Tiffany's thighs, locking her in so she couldn't run as you continued to bury your face into her core. Stuffing your tongue in and out of her as you rub her clit, Tiffany began to squirm at your touch and this sort of new feeling. She watched as your eyes squeeze tight as she clenched around your tongue.

"Oh my... I can't..." Tiffany couldn't take it anymore. She felt like she was gonna burst, like she had to pee. She tried to wiggle from your grasp but she felt too weak, she really had to pee though. "Y/N, wait I... I have... to... pee..."

But you didn't stop. You just went faster and deeper. Tiffany's body would shift to the side so you would shift as well. You wanted to be soaked in her juice, her sweet, sweet juice.

"Y/N... I... think..." Tiffany's body began shake as her orgasm arose, rippling through her body like a huge wave crushing into the shore as she gushed into your face. You hum in satisfaction as you lapped around her core, slurping up all her juice.

"Too much... please... stop..." Tiffany whined, pushing your head away from her core as she came down.

You leaned down, laying your body against Tiffany's, nuzzling into her neck. Tiffany lifted your head from her neck leaning into a kiss, her fingers tracing over face as she smiled at you.

"I'm sorry..." Tiffany whispers, apologizing once again. "I love you so much."

"It's okay, Unnie... you're here now and that's all that matters right now." You said softly, placing another kiss onto her lips. "This is everything I wanted. I love you too."

"We won't regret this, right?" Tiffany asked.

"No... no we won't." You said confidently. "Not at all."

So, the idea of the Bad Batch (minus Echo, plus Emerie) being the other half of the Nulls has consumed my goddamn mind. Therefore, as you do when an idea takes up residence in your frontal lobe for the foreseeable future, here's some headcanons.

The Bad Batch (except for Echo and Omega, who have no clue what's going on) hate the Nulls. As in, "murder on sight" hate them. From an in-universe perspective, there could be a myriad of reasons, ranging from feelings of abandonment to resentment over them having a better life. From a writer's standpoint, it's because I love me some good old familial dysfunction and angst.

The more...unhinged...tendencies the Nulls are known for manifests in the Bad Batch more as "let's jump off this cliff and use explosives to direct our fall!" and less as "hey, check out my new skin gloves!" Of course, if you push them too far, it's a different story. In order of least to most likely to pull a "lemme turn you into an art installation," it's Omega, Wrecker, Hunter, Crosshair, and Tech. Omega wouldn't do that, at least not at this point in her life. Wrecker, when enraged, goes for the just-hit-them solution. Hunter's a decent human being and usually wouldn't do something like that...Unless his kid's been kidnapped by a crazy Imperial doctor for the fifteenth time, on which point he starts becoming a little deranged. Crosshair hovers close to the line but wouldn't do it to someone unprovoked. Tech is a special case, in that he has to be pushed, but when he is, the results make the rest of the Nulls go "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST."

The Nulls want to reunite with their lost siblings and build a relationship, but that's kind of hard to do when said siblings (except Omega) keep trying to kill them on sight and none of them were built for intricate and deeply complicated emotional issues. Still, they persist. Eventually, they could probably get to the level of "awkward conversations" but it'll take a lot of work.

The Bad Batch have what makes the Nulls superior to regular clone troopers, plus their unique enhancements (which in this version are less defects and more Nala Se picking an attribute for each of them and cranking it up to 11). They feel that it makes them better than the Nulls, something they're not shy about expressing.

Emerie is the same height as her estranged (I can't think of a word that applies to this specific situation but this one will do) brothers, because I stan a tall queen.

Nala Se is smug as hell whenever she sees Orun Wa. "CT-9904 just broke all records for accuracy, CT-9902 discovered a new element, CT-9903 crushed beskar like it was paper, and CT-9901 tracked a man through five systems and a solar storm. What are your clones doing, again?"

There is no understating the sheer "wtf" that goes through the Nulls' heads when they first see Omega. But, of course, this is Omega. Imagine the cutest image of her you've seen, fanart or canon. That's what the Nulls see when they meet her. Unsurprisingly, the Nulls, who got the Mandalorian gene to adopt anything that isn't nailed down, go from "wtf" to "so smol 🥰" in roughly a minute.

Kal Skirata is in the corner. His attempt to interact with the Bad Batch did not go well. He casually calls Hunter "son," as he does with various characters, and the resulting explosion puts a thermal detonator to shame. Since it's clear that his presence is not making things better, he's sort of just in the corner.

The rest of Clan Skirata, and associates, are staying out of this. Gilamar and Vau took one look and retreated to the bar because they know better than to get involved. Everyone else witnessed one of the less acrimonious encounters and collectively decided that they are not jumping into the emotional equivalent of a pit of rabid wolverines.

Echo is the go-between. He does not want to be the go-between. But he's the only neutral party in this thing aside from Omega, and the rest of the Batch don't trust the Nulls with her.

Spare a though for 99. He raised four of these guys, often with the aid of leashes. Truly, he is an unsung hero of the Clone Wars

How Peter Parker would comfort and care for a depressed loved one

(don't mind me, just some self-indulgence I wrote when I was in the trenches of depression)

• "No, no, no, what we're not gonna do is feel guilty. This world is a depressing place when the rest of you isn't stable. And the world loves making people unstable."

• He'd meal prep for you, wake you up on time to keep your rhythm in check, bring you sleep tea, watch movies with you on particularly bad days.

• "What's your current take on going outside? Vitamin D might do you good." He'd ask cautiously.

• You'd tense up at the idea of spending more energy than you had but knew it was needed to get better.

• "I can...carry you to the rooftop?" He'd raise his brow.

• You'd do grabby hands at him from the bed.

• You'd chill on the sunny rooftop for 45 minutes every now and then, not talking much, just existing.

• "What are your thoughts on therapy?" He'd mumble a few weeks down the line.

• "The only thing my insurance covers is CBT. I fucking hate CBT."

• "What if we figure out a way to pay someone you can choose?"

• "I don't wa-" "Na-ah, friends help friends survive."

• Please imagine Spider-Man making a couple extra bucks by helping people install solar panels and carrying heavy stuff.

• He'd sit down next to you with a laptop and you'd search for therapy options.

• "DBT. IFS. EFT. The other EFT. Hypnotherapy. Logo Therapy. Integrative Therapists for Psychedelics. Somatic Experiencing." Even he was overwhelmed with the option.

• "IFS. Hypnotherapy. Maybe Logo Therapy." You mumbled and he decluttered the tabs.

• You landed on a woman doing both IFS & Hypnotherapy. Both things that intrigued you.

• "I mean if nothing else works...drugs still exist." You'd shrug and he'd smirk at that.

• He'd bring you to your first appointment giving you the biggest hug before you went in.

• The woman would explain to you that you needed to get mentally resourced first and that she'd try with a specific type of hypnosis to see if that helps.

• When Peter saw you get out of the building he'd instantly put his arm around you while walking.

• "I'm so tired." You'd mumble leaning against him while walking, trusting him to lead the way while you were spacing out, "Gonna tell you about it after a long sleep."

• You'd wake up the next morning with energy. Still depressed, but not quite as depressed as the previous days. He slept over to make sure there were no weird aftereffects.

• You would look at him sleeping and get up to make yourself something simple to eat.

• He'd peek his eye open before both of them were wide open seeing you standing in the kitchen.

• "Woah." He mumbled before getting up and hugging you.

• "How was it?" You paused for a second, "That's what he said."

• You told him what the hypnosis felt like and that you went back to the origin of your depression and did some inner child work thing. And the hypnosis took a lot more out of you than you expected. And now you had more energy and hoped it wasn't short-form placebo.

• "Even if it is, she can still do the other work with you." You nodded.

• "Can we go for a short walk?" He'd eagerly nod.

• Over the weeks you'd get better and better at coping with your symptoms and connecting to your inner parts. You'd figure out your triggers and how to calm yourself out of them.

• He'd love to see you flourish and take you on little friend (👀) dates all across New York City the more energy you'd have.

• He'd make sure you'd keep seeing the beautiful things in the world. He'd program your TV to not show news. He'd actually send you good news deliberately.

• "We should live together." You'd suggest.

• "If you can handle the feds searching the apartment at some point." He'd giggle.

• "I'd be good with that. I'd hide little things making it awkward for them." You both laughed.

The Solar System Legacy Challenge: Slow and Steady Gen 1 pt.37

Summer sun continues to fill their days as Mercury gets closer to giving birth. After an early morning OBGYN appointment, Kason and M spend some quality time with the triplets out in the yard. After exhausting the kids and getting them ready for bed Kason and M head to the living room searching for a movie to end the evening.

Midway thru the movie M started to feel a tight sensation engulf her stomach. She clenched her teeth trying her best not to alert Kason to the pain she was in. She��d been having similar pains for the last 3 hours. They were sporadic and M assumed they were Braxton hicks. Unable to sleep due to the pain she continued to feel she stayed downstairs in the living room as the tv droned on about a coming storm. She concentrated on the pain realizing, they were getting closer together.

It was happening, M was in labor! These contractions were very real. She stood, her emotions swirling together. Wonder, at finally getting to met their new baby. Anxiety, about whether she could be a good mother and most of all, guilt. She’d spent so much time resenting this pregnancy she’d nearly forgotten a tiny human would be born at the end. One that would love and depend on her.

Trembling slightly she grabbed her bag and gets changed. Her and Kason had chosen an at home birth in place of a traditional hospital birth. Considering the lack of privacy from the paparazzi, it seemed the better choice. She heads out back to find Kason in his work shed just as it starts to rain

M: It’s time.

Kason stops his work and looks at her smiling. Together they head inside and Kason gets changed while M starts the water in the birthing pool.

Remembering what Dr. Cameron said, they don’t rush to call the clinic. Together they climb into the birthing pool. Kason snuggles in behind M as she submerges her swollen belly in the warm water. She grips him tightly thru each contraction that rips across her as Kason watches the clock.

The storm outside worsens and with it the pain that M feels. The contractions are about 40 minutes apart but the pain continues to get worse. Kason starts to worry and calls Dr. Cameron.

Dr. Cameron delivers unfortunate news.

Dr. Cameron: You’re going to have to bring her in. The clinic is understaffed this evening and I can’t leave. But if she’s feeling excruciating pain in between contractions that doesn’t sound normal and I’d like to monitor her and the baby myself.

Kason quickly makes arrangements for the neighbor to watch the triplets. He grabs their prepacked bags and gets them to the hospital as quickly as possible.

When they arrive the storm has fully moved into the Brindelton Bay area. Kason quickly walks them to the front desk and gets them checked in. She’s moved into a private room immediately, the staff expecting her. Dr. Cameron finds M and Kason in record time.

She exams M. Checking her blood pressure and her cervix. She doesn’t notice anything overly concerning.

Dr. Cameron: Get comfortable Mrs.Gratz we’re in for a long morning your only 3cm dilated. Try and get some rest but if you can’t maybe you and your husband can take a walk around the clinic.

With a few more encouraging words she steps out into the hallway and Kason follows.

Kason: Dr. Cameron? What about the pain she was in?

She stops for a moment thinking.

Dr. Cameron: She seems to be okay. Her pressure is a little high, Id assume from the pain, but I don’t want to prematurely give her something when she may not need it. We could risk hurting the baby.

He nodded and she smiled kindly at him before he headed back into the room. M groaned in pain, Kason quickly ate the distance from the door to her bed in three long strides. He grabs a cloth and wipes the sweat from her forehead.

Kason: You’re doing great M. It’s almost over.

But he couldn’t be farther from the truth. The pain racks her frame every so often causing her to groan and grit her teeth. She did this till she was completely exhausted. Eventually sleep won out over the pain and she fell asleep.

When another doctor comes in to check on Mercury she wakes up startled. She looks around for Kason but he’s no where to be found. (Must be in the bathroom) She thought to herself. She allows the doctor to examine her.

Doctor: 5cm now. You're doing wonderful.

The doctor leaves shortly after and M waits for Kason to come back. When 15 minutes have passed, unable to just lie around anymore, M tries some deep breathing and eventually settles on taking a short walk around the clinics halls, figuring Kason would be back in the room by the time she returned.

As she walks the halls she checks one of the clocks. They’d been at the hospital since 5am it was now 8am. M continued to walk aimlessly eventually finding herself in the small cafeteria. It was lined with long tables, four chairs spread out around each. A counter top was cluttered with a small microwave, a coffee pot and all its makings. Next to that stood a vending machine.

M braces the back of one of the chairs as another contraction rocks her. She feels strong arms grip her shoulders and turns into Kason. She leans her full weight on him as he holds her tightly riding out the contraction. This one seemed to go on forever. When they look down they notice they are standing in a small puddle.

Kason: We need to get you back to your room.

They make their way back to the room as quickly as M can manage and Kason calls for a doctor.

When the attending doctor comes into the room she checks M's cervix for what feels like the hundredth time since they'd arrived.

Doctor: Your waters broken and your 7 cm. Your almost there mom.

Mercury couldn't recall it being this difficult with the triplets. She didn't feel like she could take it anymore but she'd have to hold out a little longer.

[im-just-kinda-here-k]

tell me about stellaris in the most autistic way imaginable (i wanna learn by infodump and infodump only)

(Srry this took me so long to answer I wanted to answer once I got home and promptly forgot about it lmao)

So! Stellaris. The 4x game where you genocide in space or something.

I'll start from the top, you will be designing a space-faring empire to play as, staring with...

SPECIES/HOME SYSTEM: This is where your gonna decide what your founding species looks like and what traits they have, as well as what their home planet/star are named. Not to mention you can write a short biography on your empires pre-ftl history here! Role-play wise this will affect your game greatly, but in terms of gameplay its only a big deal early on as barring some exceptions you will like end up with quite the melting pot, and any individual species traits will be of little consequence. The next part will be much more influential, however.

GOVERNMENT: Now we get into the real meat of your empire. Who are they? What do they stand for? What makes them stand out? How do they decide on their leaders? Do they decide on their leaders? You can be militaristic xenophiles who will fight tooth and nail to protect the galaxies people, or a curious hive mind that wants to hoard as much knowledge as it can without coming to blows with its neighbors, and yes, space nazis. Here you can also decide the past of your species, they could be fairly normal, simply reaching out into the stars after a few decades of booming economy, or they could've never lived on a planet at all, being born on floating habitats in the void.

MISC: Just some other details, your first leaders name/gender, what your ships look like, what your advisor sounds like, that kinda stuff.

GAMEPLAY: I'm sorry but I have that committed to muscle memory I would have a stroke if I tried to explain it. Montu and other stellaris youtubers are the best for that.

MODS: For when you've spent 200$ on dlc but want 600$ worth instead. This can be anything from simple tweaks to complete overhauls of the gameplay. My favorite are "gigastructural engineering and more" which expand on the megastructure system (just really big things that make the economy go brrrrrr) and adds lots of post endgame content. (Wanna rearrange entire star systems into mobile weapons platforms and pit them against space cats that consume millions of galaxies to outlive entropy?)

Then there's stellaris evolved, which changes literally every aspect of the game in some way we would be here all day so just know it's amazing.

Alright we've been through a few paragraphs of this so I think it's time to talk about one of my own empires!

THE EMPIRE OF SILDORIA: A long time ago, humans sent out colony ships into a wormhole found at the edge of the solar system, most were destroyed, but one of the surviving ones wound up in a random part of the galaxy, and went a-looking for a new home. But they couldn't find one, supplies were dwindling and systems were failing, so they took a gamble and took up residence in the upper atmosphere of an unusually stable gas giant. It was still a brutal task, where people were worked to death out of necessity rather than greed, but they pulled it off. Floating cities dot the gas planet of sildoria, and after scrounging up enough materials, they have made their way onto the galactic stage. It did not come without cost, however, as the humans, or rather, sildorians, have been fundamental changed by their experiences. Their psyche is unbreakable on a biological level, and their bodies are quite tough as well. They are instinctively inclined to reduce waste, and have a reduced birthrate as a result of cramped conditions. The sildorian government is an interesting one, while it is extremely focused on material gain and expansion of industry, they make sure to take as good care of their people as they can. A sildorian laborer will be expected to give everything they can spare in the workplace, and in exchange they will want for nothing at home. In the future the sildorian empire is likely to take forays into robotics and cybernetics to maximize productivity and comfort. OK that's all I have to say :D

Complete Solar Eclipse

At 29 Aries, this morning my time in Western Australia. Isn't it beautiful? The hybrid eclipse started out as an annular eclipse, with the ring of fire around the sun, and then progressed to a complete eclipse (total darkness).

Tessa Virtue 34th Birthday Chart 5/17/23

Tessa's birthday chart this year has change as a theme and the question of what comes next? how to move forward? it has a Balsamic moon, which can mean nearing the close of one chapter but having no structure yet for where you're going. 5-6 planets in fixed signs can mean changes can be viewed as if they're all or nothing and feel intimidating, but having faith rather than acting from fear or stubbornness will help you not feel stuck.

this chart is heavily earth and water and lacks fire and air: material issues, work/job are emphasized. you may be more sensitive emotionally and feel overwhelmed, but intuition is also heightened. a time of gaining experience and gathering info, working with your immediate needs rather than long term plans. you might feel inexperienced and sometimes low energy or enthusiasm. it can take trial and error and following your gut rather than your head to find your way

there's what's sometimes called a minor talent triangle between the Sun, Mars, and Neptune in this chart which looks positive:

The combination of Sun and Mars in sextile gives you energy for accomplishment. you have the ability to be a team player, other people don't get in your way, and you find that the tools you need will be available to you. The Neptune piece of this can start out as confusion and uncertainty about your direction, making it necessary to move forward without knowing the details. but it also connects you to intuition and sensitivity which help you gain awareness. helping others brings good things to you. it adds up to being able to function productively even when you're unsure.

Mercury in the chart can be your thought process, and it's conjunct the North Node, emphasizing mental energy and communication - Mercury sextile Saturn - at least one major decision to be made. a tendency to be cautious or conservative because you're looking for options that will give you stability. this can be about planning, organizing. completing a major project (she still has a capstone project to finish on this masters degree this summer)

Venus is about relationships, finances, values - it's trine Saturn: possibly adding more structure to a relationship- could mean buying a home or marriage. she's going to have a similar aspect in 2024, though, so this applies next year too. without a birth time, it's hard to see which area of life this is about - it may or may not be either

Mars in a solar return (bday) chart can be about where and how you spend your energy. It's opposite Pluto: control issues. conflict or lack of balance between two areas of your life. or your needs and wants are in conflict with those of someone else. the unconscious motivations that drive you can be raised to awareness. habits and attitudes that hold you back might come up to be dealt with

Jupiter is conjunct the North Node: good sign for new opportunities and growth. It's also closely square Pluto: you're driven by wanting success. need to stay balanced ethically and find balance between your personal and professional lives or your relationships suffer. this energy can be success but at a price. it might show you where you need to modify your goals and to figure out your true values

The big transit of the year is Saturn in the sky transiting and squaring her Gemini stellium- Tr Saturn square her Mercury (May, July-Aug 2023, Jan-Feb 2024): your viewpoints may be challenged if they've become too fixed or out of date, feeling alone because others don't share your ideas Tr Saturn square her Venus (May-July 2023, Jan-Feb 2024): tension in relationships. your need to be yourself is greater. relationships that don't work with your true self might need to change or be left behind. loneliness. a time of clearing out - your sense of freedom and individuality might be tested by relationships Tr Saturn square Jupiter (Mar-Apr 2024)- you might feel like your freedom of action is limited or that you're not free to take opportunities you want. a time that tests how well you put your life together, especially in your profession. feeling extreme restlessness and a drive for freedom

And finally, she is in an 11th house profection year: good luck or advantageous things come to you from your networks or friends. a year of greater social interaction, of exploring your hopes and dreams

[ask-healthy-light]

After Light's introduction of the two Grey Unicorns, they stepped forward and bowed to Amethyst and the Young Pony, but even though they were well aware of the danger this being of Shadow could pose, they merely smiled, and said it was a pleasure to meet them; and the Pony politely replied in turn, and told them they were pleased to make their acquaintance, introducing themselves as Shining Star.

For a moment, both Stygian and Starswirl glanced at Amethyst, who silently looked at the Young Pony as a bittersweet smile grew upon her face, before she whispered to then to be careful; for although she knew how terrible the atrocities were the Fallen King had committed, she did not want either of the two to get hurt, since she knew not how connected they were, nor how it would affect the other.

It had been years since she had last seen or spoken with Star, and she knew not whether she had the strength to lose them again, so, as her eyes welled up with tears, she pleaded with Light, Stygian, and Starswirl, and asked them with a breaking voice to help them; and the three put their hooves to their chests, swearing they would not hurt Star nor Sombra, and promising they would do their best.

At the same time, back up top, after Stygian and Starswirl had ventured into the dark depths of the underground prison to meet Light and Amethyst, the rest of the group now had little to do but wait, either for them to call for help, or to return without needing help; but as Spike tried his best to suppress a yawn, it became clear that they could not merely stand here, and idly wait for any news.

None knew what to say to alleviate this situation, and the area fell into an uncomfortable silence, broken only by the passage of townsfolk, politely, yet apparently obliviously, asking the Royals in the group to step aside so they could pass; but even though the group had to spread out to make way for townsfolk, to their relief, none noticed the great and dark pit in the floor next to the Heart.

With a subtle gesture, Luna asked Nox if she wanted to join her back to the Market, where she hoped to find some trinkets or other special items that neither of them had ever been given the chance to get, but also to see if they came across the strange Pink Pup again; for though she knew not whence these thoughts came, she felt it was important for them to see what it was carrying in its satchel.

The Dragon-Pony discreetly nodded to her Mother, whereafter Luna smiled, before she trotted over to her Sister, and asked her if she wanted to join them to the Market, after making sure everyone down below was all right, of course; but Celestia merely shook her head and placed her hoof on her face, as she admitted she would like some time to herself, since her head ached for reasons she knew not.

Hearing this, Eclipse stepped forward, still carrying the now even more exhausted Dragon upon their back, and told Celestia that they would stay close to the entrance in her stead, while she returned inside to rest her mind; for though she appeared to be doing well, they knew not whether there were any powers dwelling within the dark prison, that could have afflicted her while she was down there.

A warm smile grew upon the face of the Solar Princess as she thanked Eclipse for their offer before she politely refused, and said that she would spend some time in the light of the Sun, instead; but since they were Spike's guardians, she asked them to stay close, should Stygian need more help than what either Starlight or Starswirl could give him, as Spike may swiftly need to be brought thither.

As Nox and Luna headed to the Market, waving goodbye for now to the others, Eclipse nodded in turn, before they turned to Sunburst and Starlight, and asked them if there was anything they would like; and Starlight replied that she would like some tea, and be given time to rest, as the journey here, though quick, was exhausting and intensive, as she had to use a lot of her magic to hold the spell.

Both her former mentor and best friend smiled, and headed inside, leaving Celestia by herself.

At that moment, Celestia's horn started to glow with a familiar feeling and energy…

The Solar System

When Watson once told Holmes about the Copernican Theory and the composition of the Solar System, he was left shocked by Holmes' ignorant response.

"You appear to be astonished." Holmes smiled at Watson's expression. "If I did know it, I shall do my best to forget it."

"To forget it!" Watson's shock grew bigger.

"You see, my dear Watson, I consider a man's brain an empty attic that you can stock with as much furniture as you please. A fool takes all sorts of furniture he comes across and the important information gets crowded out. Now a skillful workman is careful with the things he picks. Therefore, for each new addition to the brain attic, a man has to forget something."

"But the Solar System!" Watson protested.

"What the deuce is it to me?" Holmes interrupted, irritated and impatient. "If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work."

Watson's shock turned to anger, he refused to believe and let the smartest man of the 19th century walk without the knowledge of the beautiful star.

"Now listen, Holmes, you will sit here and pay attention to what I have to teach you." The doctor woke up and chose violence.

"But, my dear Wa-"

"No buts! And do not 'my dear' me!"

* * *

"The birth of a star. The Sun formed about 4,6 billion years ago in a giant, spinning cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula." During his monologue, Watson was pacing their apartment. "As the nebula collapsed under its own gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. Most of the nebula's material was pulled toward the center to form our Sun, which accounts for 99.8% of our solar system’s mass." The doctor glanced at the detective now and then to make sure he was paying attention.

"The Sun is a 4,5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system. It’s about 93 million miles from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star. Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet."

* * *

After that experience, Sherlock Holmes never doubted nor argued Watson's wit or the existence of the Solar System.

Baba Vanga Prediction List

Baba Vanga (Oct 3 1911 - Aug 11 1996), was a Bulgarian mystic and herbalist. Blind since early childhood, Baba Vanga spent most of her life in the Rupite area of the Kozhuh mountains in Bulgaria.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, she was widely known in Eastern Europe for her alleged abilities of clairvoyance and precognition. Zheni Kostadinova claimed in 1997 that millions of people believed she possessed paranormal abilities.

ps. all of her predictions haven’t come true so don’t worry about the predictions that are mentioned.  I’m sharing the list as a fun things.

2023 – The trajectory of our planet will adjust marginally.

2100 – An artificial sun heats up the dark part of the Earth. 

2111 – Humans become increasingly robotic, resulting in a scenario much like that in the movie "Terminator". 

2123 – Small nations constantly wage war while the major superpowers refuse to step in. 

2125 – A space agency in Hungary receives signals from deep space.  Baba Vanga comes into the public eye again. 

2130 – Societies are being constructed undersea with the aid of extraterrestrial beings. 

2154 – Animals evolve to be human-like. 

2167 – There is a brand-new religion that becomes popular around the world.

Outer Wilds - Protagonist

Short one. Fun little worldbuilding too.

On me:

Young, barely an adult.

A bit over-enthusiastic at the beginning, eager to start my career as an explorer.

I was young at the highest point of space exploration, when the astronauts were exploring and mapping our solar system. So I was raised with constant news and discoveries, which ignited my love for it.

On Hearthians:

Unlike the game, there were more villages spread through Timber Hearth, of various sizes. But ours was the first and the biggest, and where all space exploration started from.

Our technology was of a low level but we advanced quickly every day, learning a lot from the Nomai. Despite many living in small wooden houses, we built and kept stone buildings, often adapting from Nomai ruins.

Our wood was sturdy and durable, at least from certain trees we cultivated for such means. Most of it was used for our spaceships and structural parts in the villages, but was rare as it was hard to grow and even harder to cut. Most things were made with softer and more practical woods.

Although we had mines ourselves we used the old Nomai structures as a starting point 

We really didn't know the meaning of violence, I mean our species was extremely pacifist and we never had much trouble between ourselves. So there was never the need for violence.

We had farming and animal keeping. I remember some sort of small and stocky animal that looked like a sheep, with thick fur that we used for clothing. But most of our food was from farming, or fishing. We also kept small birds as pets.

On the Nomai:

Our language wasn't gendered, so translating Nomai text always had errors as theirs had gendered words. So we could see differences between two different words, despite being translated as one.

There were works in an effort to depict how they looked from their bones, but we always had trouble with soft parts. Finding statues and drawings actually helped solve that issue.

We didn't know a lot, unfortunately most of their culture and traditions had been lost. But architectural styles, technology and knowledge on space travel remained, alongside with new knowledge I collected with the translation tool.

Scenes and events:

Dying the first time. It was purely an accident. I had traveled to the moon, and did all my research and conversation there. From that point of view I saw the Nomai ruins in Timber Hearth, and set out to travel there. I landed and started exploring the mines, jumping from slope to slope, only the flashlight to illuminate the darkness and occasionally stopping to check for ghost matter. But I didn't expect the ground to fall beneath my feet, plunging me into the abyss. I survived the fall, hitting the jetpack at the very last instant, but before I could react I felt that burning, the last thing I remember is hitting the jetpack while grabbing the camera in an attempt to escape. Didn't even feel my death, at a certain point the burning got so intense it seemed to just disappear.

I woke up in shock, but as I looked around I deemed it just a dream. Mentioned that supposed dream to Slate, they just laughed and patted my back, saying something to ease my nerves. But still, when I approached Hornfels to get the codes, it was the same exact line from my supposed dream.

I think my second death happened in Brittle Hollow. I was exploring the surface, trying to uncover where Riebeck was, when the ground fell beneath my feet, plunging me into the black hole below. Being sucked into it felt almost like a deep dive, and I found myself on the other side of the wormhole. But from my HUD I saw the ship nearby, and having enough fuel to reach it I set for it. I entered and buckled off, ready to fly again when I saw through the window, that deep red sun. The thermometer was pointing to higher and higher temperatures, until it simply stopped working. That moment was when I saw the white, that rumbling noise, and the approaching hell. But I was at some distance, and there was nothing I could do to avoid it but simply waiting, hands having long left the controls.

When I woke up again, I needed time to truly realize what was going on. But still I carried on, went to the observatory and searched everything I could on supernovas. Not much there, but all pointed to being way too soon for it to happen.

There came a point where I didn't need to see the sun to know it was going to happen soon. Even in the darkest caves beneath a planet, I would feel that chill through my skin, the deep rumble that defied the notion of space not having sound, and that dread feeling. So I simply breathed in and carried on my tasks, simply waiting for the white and the heat. Honestly it didn't even hurt, the white and the end always came up before the heat could really hurt.

Every time I went to the Hourglass Twins, I made sure to watch the sun carefully. When it started heating and decreasing in size, I often would kill myself in some quick way, usually by puncturing the suit, so as to avoid the extreme heat. Being that close to the sun meant that I would experience the heat of that event, and I really hated it, the heat took too long to kill me and was extremely painful.

One time in Giant's Deep, I fell when trying to reach a slope into the water. But before I could reach land again, a tornado snatched the island away. I knew my ship was safe so tried to swim to where I estimated the island would land, only to look up as it was falling right over me, killing me instantly.

In Dark Bramble, exploring the strange places, I followed the white lights, only to see the anglerfish too late as it moved to eat me. The second time, I brought my ship to make travelling easier, but had to leave to repair a part of the cockpit. I thought I was safe, with enough distance from the giant fishes, only to look up from my job and see the massive mouth encroaching around me.

Took many attempts to reach the skeleton in Dark Bramble, and more than once I reached it with barely enough time to talk with Feldspat and explore. I asked them about the statue’s eyes being open. I really wanted them to be aware of the loop.

Gabbro was a breath of relief. They were someone I could talk to freely, they always remembered our conversations and offered tips on what to do next. I shared my discoveries and investigations with them, both eager to figure a way out. They were kinda my notebook.

Gabbro would get really excited to hear my tales of the Stranger's inhabitants, often musing alongside me. They wanted me to bring their music instruments to play.

Until the very last moment at the Eye, I truly thought I would manage to get out of this situation. I hoped that I would be able to stop the supernova, to rescue all travellers, and to return home. I hoped that life could go on. But staying at that campfire, I finally realized everything. So I looked one last time at all travellers and those I met during my journey, my friends, crying for the lives that were lost, for the life we could've had.

And I promised them we would meet again. In other life, in other universe.

I was there, in the empty void, but it wasn't the void of space I knew off, something entirely different. And I saw it, a new beginning, a new Big Bang. And I've felt it, an old universe being destroyed and from its ashes a new one being born. I felt not only my physical body but every particle, every single element as it was born into existence. I felt as it drifted into every corner of existence, as it consumed my physical body and it became part of the universe, of everything. How I became part of the universe. I wasn't just assisting creation, I was becoming creation. To become nothing and everything, to be the flame that lights the candle into a new reality, to become every single element, every single tiny part of that new universe, to be one with the universe. And one day, perhaps, meet my friends again. In another life, in another story. As that universal cycle would again come to an ending, and from its ashes a new story begin.
