As a former cast member of the Disney World college program from hell (spring 2022 anniversary season at their largest store in the world), Steamboat Willie slasher horror is not cathartic with the new public domain, at least not to me. You wanna know what is? Trans lesbian phantom thieves Mickey/Minnie in which they get to say swear words and take down evil overlord Rob Paycheck

Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor

Something massive and alien crashes into the ocean off the coast of Nigeria. Three people, a marine biologist, a rapper, and a soldier, find themselves at the center of this presence, attempting to shepherd an alien ambassador as chaos spreads in the city. A strange novel that mixes the supernatural with the alien, shifts between many different POVs, and gives a one of a kind look at a possible first contact.

Nubia: The Awakening (Nubia series) by Omar Epps & Clarence A. Hayes

Young adult. Three teens living in the slums of an enviromentally ravaged New York find that something powerful is awakening within them. They’re all children of refugees of Nubia, a utopian African island nation that sank as the climate worsened, and realize now that their parents have been hiding aspects of their heritage from them. But as they come into their own, someone seeks to use their abilities to his own ends, against their own people.

Acting captain Jacklyn Albright is already struggling against the threats of interstellar space and impending starvation when the ship throws her a new danger: something is hiding on the ship, picking off her crew one by one in bloody, gruesome ways. A quick, excellent read if you want some good Alien vibes.

Dawn (Xenogenesis trilogy) by Octavia E. Butler*

After a devestating war leaves humanity on the brink of extinction, survivor Lilith finds herself waking up naked and alone in a strange room. She’s been rescued by the Oankali, who have arrived just in time to save the human race. But there’s a price to survival, and it might be humanity itself. Absolutely fucked up I love it I once had to drop the book mid read to stare at the ceiling and exclaim in horror at what was going on. Includes darker examinations of agency and consent, so enter with caution.

Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson*

Utterly unique in world-building, story, and prose, Midnight Robber follows young Tan-Tan and her father, inhabitants of the Carribean-colonized planet of Toussaint. When her father commits a terrible crime, he’s exiled to a parallel version of the same planet, home to strange aliens and other human exiles. Tan-Tan, not wanting to lose her father, follows with him. Trapped on this new planet, he becomes her worst nightmare. Enter this book with caution, as it contains graphic child sexual abuse.

Rosewater (The Wormwood trilogy) by Tade Thompson

Kaaro, former criminal and current psychic agent for the government, is one of the people changed by it. When other psychics like him begin getting killed, Kaaro must take it upon himself to find out the truth about the biodome and its intentions.

Do You Dream of Terra-Two? by Temi Oh

Young adult. A century ago, an astronomer discovered a possibly Earth-like planet. Now, a team of veteran astronauts and carefully chosen teenagers are preparing to embark on a twenty-three year trip to get there. But space is dangerous, and the team has no one to rely on but each other if - or when - something goes wrong. An introspective slowburn of a story, this focuses more on character work than action.

The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord

After the planet Sadira is left uninhabitable, its few survivors are forced to move to a new world. On Cygnus Beta, they work to rebuild their society alongside their distant relatives of the planet, while trying to preserve what remains of their culture. Focused less on hard science or action, The Best of All Possible Worlds is more about culture, romance and the ethics and practicalities of telepathy.

Mirage (Mirage duology) by Somaiya Daud

Young adult. Eighteen-year-old Amani lives on an isolated moon under the oppressive occupation of the Valthek empire. When Amani is abducted, she finds herself someplace wholly unexpected: the royal palace. As it turns out, she's nearly identical to the half-Valthek, and widely hated, princess Maram, who is in need of a body double. If Amani ever wants to make it back home or see her people freed from oppression, she will have to play her role as princess perfectly. While sci-fi, this one more has the vibe of a fantasy.

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

Life on the lower decks of the generation ship HSS Matilda is hard for Aster, an outcast even among outcasts, trying to survive in a system not dissimilar to the old antebellum South. The ship’s leaders have imposed harsh restrictions on their darker skinned people, using them as an oppressed work force as they travel toward their supposed Promised Land.

Lileala was just named Rare Indigo, but her strict yet pampered life gets upended when her beautiful skin is struck by a mysterious sickness, leaving it covered in scars and scabs. Meanwhile, voices start to whisper in Lileala's mind, bringing to the surface a past long forgotten involving her entire society.

Eacaping Exodus (Escaping Exodus duology) by Nicky Drayden

Seske is the heir to the leader of a clan living inside a gigantic, spacefaring beast, of which they frequently need to catch a new one to reside in as their presence slowly kills the beast from the inside. While I found the ending rushed with regards to plot and character, the worldbuilding is very fresh and the overall plot of survival and class struggle an interesting one. It’s also sapphic!

Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah*

In a near future America, inmates on death row or with life sentences in private prisons can choose to participate in death matches for entertainment. If they survive long enough - a rare case indeed - they regain their freedom. Among these prisoners are Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" Stacker, partners behind the scenes and close to the deadline of a possible release - if only they can survive for long enough. As the game continues to be stacked against them and protests mount outside, two women fight for love, freedom, and their own humanity. Chain-Gang All-Stars is bleak and unflinching as well as genuinely hopeful in its portrayal of a dark but all to real possible future.

Parable of the Sower (Earthseed duology) by Octavia E. Butler*

In a bleak future, Lauren Olamina lives with her family in a gated community, one of few still safe places in a time of chaos. When her community falls, Lauren is forced on the run. As she makes her way toward possible safety, she picks up a following of other refugees, and sows the seeds of a new ideology which may one day be the saviour of mankind. Very bleak and scarily realistic, Parable of the Sower will make you both fear for mankind and regain your hope for humanity.

Binti (Binti trilogy) by Nnedi Okorafor

Young adult novella. Binti is the first of the Himba people to be accepted into the prestigious Oomza University, the finest place of higher learning in all the galaxy. But as she embarks on her interstellar journey, the unthinkable happens: her ship is attacked by the terrifying Meduse, an alien race at war with Oomza University.

War Girls (War Girls duology) by Tochi Onyebuchi

In an enviromentally fraught future, the Nigerian civil war has flared back up, utilizing cybernetics and mechs to enhance its soldiers. Two sisters, by bond if not by blood, are separated and end up on differing sides of the struggle. Brutal and dark, with themes of dehumanization of soldiers through cybernetics that turn them into weapons, and the effect and trauma this has on them.

The Space Between Worlds (The Space Between Worlds duology) by Micaiah Johnson

Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s a catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying. As such she has a very special job in traveling to these worlds, hoping to keep her position long enough to gain citizenship in the walled-off Wiley City, away from the wastes where she grew up. But her job is dangerous, especially when she gets on the tracks of a secret that threatens the entire multiverse. Really cool worldbuilding and characters, also featuring a sapphic lead!

The Fifth Season (The Broken Eart trilogy) by N.K. Jemisin*

In a world regularly torn apart by natural disasters, a big one finally strikes and society as we know it falls, leaving people floundering to survive in a post apocalyptic world, its secrets and past to be slowly revealed. We get to follow a mother as she races through this world to find and save her missing daughter. While mostly fantasy in genre, this series does have some sci-fi flavor, and is genuinely some of the best books I've ever read, please read them.

The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings*

In an alternate version of our present, the witch hunt never ended. Women are constantly watched and expected to marry young so their husbands can keep an eye on them. When she was fourteen, Josephine's mother disappeared, leveling suspicions at both mother and daughter of possible witchcraft. Now, nearly a decade and a half later, Jo, in trying to finally accept her missing mother as dead, decides to follow up on a set of seemingly nonsensical instructions left in her will. Features a bisexual lead!

The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden

South African-set scifi featuring gods ancient and new, robots finding sentience, dik-diks, and a gay teen with mind control abilities. An ancient goddess seeks to return to her true power no matter how many humans she has to sacrifice to get there. A little bit all over the place but very creative and fresh.

The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson*

Young adult. Young artist June Costa lives in Palmares Tres, a beautiful, matriarchal city relying heavily on tradition, one of which is the Summer King. The most recent Summer King is Enki, a bold boy and fellow artist. With him at her side, June seeks to finally find fame and recognition through her art, breaking through the generational divide of her home. But growing close to Enki is dangerous, because he, like all Summer Kings, is destined to die.

The Blood Trials (The Blood Gifted duology) by N.E. Davenport

After Ikenna's grandfather is assasinated, she is convinced that only a member of the Praetorian guard, elite soldiers, could’ve killed him. Seeking to uncover his killer, Ikenna enrolls in a dangerous trial to join the Praetorians which only a quarter of applicants survive. For Ikenna, the stakes are even higher, as she's hiding forbidden blood magic which could cost her her life. Mix of fantasy and sci-fi. While I didn’t super vibe with this one, I suspect fans of action packed romantasy will enjoy it.

Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany

1960s classic. Rydra Wong is a space captain, linguist and poet who is set on learning to understand Babel-17, a language which is humanity's only clue at the enemy in an interstaller war. But Babel-17 is more than just a language, and studying it may change Rydra forever.

Pet (Pet duology) by Akwaeke Emezi

Young adult novella. Jam lives in a utopian future that has been freed of monsters and the systems which created and upheld them. But then she meets Pet, a dangerous creature claiming to be hunting a monster still among them, prepared to stop at nothing to find them. While I personally found the word-building in Pet lacking, it deftly handles dark subjects of what makes a human a monster.

Bonus AKA I haven’t read these yet but they seem really cool

Lion's Blood by Steven Barnes

Alternate history in which Africans colonized South America while vikings colonized the North. The vikings sell abducted Celts and Franks as slaves to the South, one of which is eleven-years-old Irish boy Aidan O'Dere, who was just bought by a Southern plantation owner.

Luvenctober day 20 : leaves

So I made a bet with them....

I'm very proud of this one! At first I didn't plan to add Throné, I just wanted to draw the autumn aesthetic of the crestlands but when I was looking for ref I found the scene from the crossed paths and I choose to add her. Like that I could make the pun with the leaves (money) with the leaves (plants)... Yeah my humour is broken ...Anyway, Throné was very fun to draw! I love this woman (Less than Temi and Castti but still a lot!)

Hope you enjoy it !

Every moment once Vergil becomes whole again that clues Dante in that this is not the same Vergil from the Temi-ni-Gru [aka everything that tells Dante that Vergil has taken V's character development]

"If I beat Nero, then by default I beat you, agreed Dante?" DMC3 Vergil would NEVER. He did not compromise when it came to fighting Dante, he had to be the one to defeat him. Vergil only compromised to shoot Arkham and then went right back to fighting Dante.

"But if we continue to let these roots spread through town, it'll just interfere with our business." Vergil may say it like this but it's clear he wants to close the separation between the human and underworld. I don't think it's a stretch to say that DMC3 Vergil would not have cared and kept fighting, Vergil being willing to stop the Qliphoth and stay in the Underworld isn't a selfish act.

"I'm more than capable of handling this on my own" You can literally see Dante turn to Vergil in shock when he says this, he's giving him a chance to go back to the human world with Nero instead of being stuck in the Underworld with him. Vergil? Giving Dante an olive branch? This is definitely not the same Vergil that Dante fought before.

"We got plenty of time" Vergil gives Dante a genuine happy smile with this line, I don't think we've seen Vergil smile like this since he was a kid (Visions of V) which means Dante hasn't either. They're fighting like they did when they were kids again, keeping score and having banter. This is the happiest they've been in a long time, they get to be brothers again.

It'd probably take a few conversations between fighting (those are happening I know it, Itsuno told me himself/j) for Dante to get the full story of Vergil's character development through V, but those moments key Dante in that Vergil has changed, he no longer has to fight him to protect the world. He just wants to fight him because that's his brother, and he loves him.

Please tell me more about your farmer and Elliott 🥺👉👈

there's actually not much about them if i'm being honest LOL

temi is more of like a self-insert at this point, but uhh she's a shy and anxious person who used to live in Zuzu City, like Elliott. She's a retired artist who ended up becoming a farmer (like ingame reason). But here's my Elliott headcanons!

Elliott used to live in a strict and rich noble family manor in the city. Where his family are not very supportive of him becoming a writer, which is why he moved out to the valley to focus on his dreams. I also think that he's in his early 30s, while him and temi might've a huge age gap between them (she's 22). But they don't really mind that. Elliott also draws a little bit, taught by Leah. He isn't very good, but he's trying.

temi and Elliott's relationship is more of a wholesome(? one. Elliott is the housewife HEHEHE while temi does the money with farming and others. Elliott also knows that she's very sensitive and fragile person, which is why he tend to be considerate and careful around her.

Here are some old doodles i've made of them!

I think that's all i can think of rn hehe thank u for asking about it agghhhh i love answering elliott/sdv related questions, esp abt my farmer 🥺👉👈💕

thanks pookie <3

How Gossip Spreads Through The Mansion.

ikemen vampire headcannons

( warnings? ) none. ( notes? ) THIS HEADCANNON CONTAINS MY OC. just a few thoughts about how these vampires are extremely nosy and love to spread false information unknowingly :0

It all begins in the kitchen. As the coffee brews for the mansions residents, our lovely helpers: Sebastian, Mitsuki (Y/n) and Temi seem to be cooking up some trouble…

Mitsuki would unintentionally reveal something that happened thorough out the day. Maybe it was something she overheard while shopping, on the balcony or watching Napoleon and Jean spar. She always tells Sebastian and Temi what she hears about the residents—since Sebastian has that interesting hobby of his.

“Hey Sebastian, Temi?” Mitsuki calls out to the two as they washed the dishes. Sebastian was scrubbing, Temi was rinsing, and Mitsuki was drying and polishing.

The two turned their heads to look at their friend, wondering what was the matter.

“I was in Comte room earlier helping him open up some letters, and that’s when I came across this one letter. Now mind you, it was scented, had a very prestigious emblem on the wax and included a dried rose in it.” Mitsuki began.

“Le Comte gets letters like that all the time.” Sebastian responded. “Was there something special about it?”

“Well, it clearly came from a girl. And when Comte read it, he was so happy! I mean I never saw him like this before, but it makes me think if he has a secret lover—” Before Mitsuki could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Temi, who had accidentally dropped a plate into the sink, causing the water to splash up at her.

“Secret lover?!” She exclaimed in disbelief. “What makes it worse is that it’s believable…”

“What if she’s a vampire bombshell who was childhood friends with him and lives in a gothic castle lavished in red and riches? I can’t compete in that race…” Temi grumbled afterwards. Sebastian however looked at the two thoughtfully.

“Well, we’ll do no good sitting here pondering. At dinner let’s go ask Le Comte ourselves.”

Most of the times, it’s something tame. No big deal, and not needing of attention. But as always, if your trying to keep a secret in a mansion full of nosy vampires with supersonic hearing—you better believe this game of telephone will spiral out of control.

Isaac, surprisingly, is the main catalyst for this disaster. Jean coming in a close second. ( I mean, you can see it in some events when it’s almost always these two mishearing something (*´▽`*) )

But it would always be unintentional! Isaac would just walk past an open door and when he heard something shocking, he couldn’t help to stop and get a closer ear. Jean on the other hand wouldn’t stop. He would take the bits and pieces he heard and formulate them in his mind, completing the story for himself.

‘Comte has a lover?’ Isaac thought to himself as he listened in to the conversation. ‘Why has he been hiding it from us all this time? Well—I could understand. I hope he introduces us to her…’

‘That rascal!’ Jean grit his teeth when he heard the news. Although heard would be a stretch. ‘Playing with Temi and Mitsuki’s heart even though he has a women of his own. I will get him to confess…’

And now we have three stories. The truth, an assumption, and a incomplete statement. Which one will travel throughout the mansion quicker?

Jean obviously tells Napoleon and Mozart. It slips out during their sparring lessons, and he tells Mozart on a whim—since they’re friends.

“Wait so—Comte is married?” Napoleon exclaims, as he puts his sword back into its hilt. Jean nods, sitting down of the ground to catch his breathe.

“He has refused to tell us about his secret lover for this long. It makes you wonder what else he has been keeping from us…” Napoleon loosely claims, wiping the sweat that adorned his forehead.

Jean however was thinking in his head, that he was right all along not to trust him. “That shady man…”

With Mozart, he looked a bit confused. “There is just no way Comte is married Jean, did he tell you himself?”

Then for Isaac, the words accidentally slip when he was getting teased by Arthur and Dazai. Of course, these were the worse people to tell out of everyone in the mansion.

Arthur applauded Comte on his fruitfulness. Claiming that it takes skill to hid a lover for so long. While Dazai takes this information with interest. It just so happened when he was scaling the windows, he overheard Mozart and Jean’s discussion.

For Dazai, he didn’t really believe this. As he saw in the music room, Jean wasn’t sure who he heard this information from. But being chaotic as Dazai is, he naturally wanted to be included in the fun. So he often changes up the story.

“How sly of Comte, it seems that he has not only hid his secret wife, but the fact that she will be moving in to live with us soon. Isn’t that great Ai-kun? Lovers reunited at last.” With these words Dazai left, not daring to explain anything.

“Move in with us? By Jove, you would think that old man would tell us before making the decision?” Arthur comments with a sigh.

Dazai doesn’t tell anyone else after that. He is more interested in seeing how this spreads and which one would reach Comte’s ear first. Arthur however tells his best buddy Theo. Theo tells Vincent and Vincent tells Shakespeare. By now the rumor has morphed into something unbelievable.

“Comte is a pathological liar who is hiding his wife from the residents and is planning to make her move in with them because she is expecting soon.” Don’t ask how.

Leonardo hears about this from Temi, who asks if Comte had a lover. Leonardo laughs and answers not anymore—wondering why she was asking.

“Are ya worried about “Comte’s” love life cara mia?” Leonardo jokingly asks.

Although he was joking in that moment, it just confirmed his suspicions that something was spreading in the mansion. Throughout the whole day Leonardo was hearing bits and pieces of a story that including Comte—so it was time he saw the truth for himself.

When he gets to Comte’s room he wastes no time to ask him about it.

“Have you just been in your room all day? Looks like you don’t know what’s happening outside.” Comte looks up from the papers he was sorting at Leonardo, a confused look on his eyes.

“Outside?” He asks, to which Leonardo takes out a cigarillo and begins to light it.

“Yeah…something about you being a compulsive liar who is hiding his pregnant wife from us—it gets a bit tricky because half are saying she’s gonna move in with us, and half are saying your gonna move in with her.”

Comte is just astounded. He just stares blankly at Leonardo…an awkward laugh sounding from his throat. “…Really?” Is all he could muster, as Leonardo begins to laugh.

“See I knew it wasn’t true. But you know might as well confirm before I do damage control right?”

Comte was still shocked. After all he’s done from the residents, was this how easy it was for their views to change—and when did he get a pregnant wife?

“For these being the great men I choose to revive…I wonder how great their intuition really is…” Comte mumbles to himself.

“Well, let’s go straight if things out. I’m fairly certain I know who started this.” Leonardo claims, laughing to himself. “I want to know where the story changed too.”

The residents were all gathered for dinner, the main goal being to clear up the misconceptions. Each person was made to go around and tell what they heard and what they believed, and from there they traced it down to Mitsuki, Isaac and Jean.

Mitsuki explains her thinking to Comte, I’m which he clarifies that he has no secret lover and that the letter was just from an old friend he saved years ago.

Everyone breathes out a sigh of relief. It looked like none of them were ready for a new arrival. And some, specifically Mozart, wasn’t particularly fond on a baby crying and running around…

Bob Marley (1945-1981) è stato un musicista, cantante e compositore giamaicano, ampiamente riconosciuto come il più celebre interprete della musica reggae. Marley ha avuto un impatto duraturo sulla cultura musicale mondiale e ha contribuito a portare il reggae e la musica giamaicana alla ribalta internazionale.

### Biografia

Robert Nesta Marley è nato il 6 febbraio 1945 a Nine Mile, un villaggio nella parrocchia di Saint Ann, in Giamaica. Ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale nei primi anni '60 con il gruppo The Wailers, insieme a Peter Tosh e Bunny Wailer. Il gruppo ha inizialmente suonato ska e rocksteady prima di abbracciare il reggae.

### Carriera

Il successo internazionale di Marley è arrivato negli anni '70 con album come "Catch a Fire" (1973) e "Burnin'" (1973), che includevano brani famosi come "Stir It Up", "Get Up, Stand Up" e "I Shot the Sheriff", quest'ultimo reso ancora più celebre dalla cover di Eric Clapton.

Tra gli album più celebri di Marley ci sono:

- **"Natty Dread" (1974)**: include canzoni come "No Woman, No Cry" e "Lively Up Yourself".

- **"Rastaman Vibration" (1976)**: l'unico album di Marley ad entrare nella top 10 di Billboard.

- **"Exodus" (1977)**: considerato uno dei migliori album di sempre, con canzoni come "Jamming", "Waiting in Vain" e "Three Little Birds".

- **"Kaya" (1978)**: noto per il suo tono più rilassato e per brani come "Is This Love" e "Satisfy My Soul".

### Temi e Influenze

Marley è noto per le sue canzoni che affrontano temi sociali, politici e spirituali, spesso ispirati dalla sua fede nel Rastafarianesimo. La sua musica spesso promuoveva la pace, l'amore e l'unità, e affrontava temi di ingiustizia e oppressione.

### Eredità

Bob Marley è morto l'11 maggio 1981 a causa di un melanoma. Nonostante la sua vita sia stata breve, il suo impatto sulla musica e sulla cultura è stato immenso. Marley è diventato un simbolo globale della lotta per i diritti civili e della cultura reggae. La sua musica continua ad essere ascoltata e apprezzata in tutto il mondo.

### Citazioni Famosi

- "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

- "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds."

Marley è ricordato non solo per la sua musica, ma anche per il suo impegno nel promuovere la giustizia e l'uguaglianza, rendendolo una figura iconica e ispiratrice per generazioni di fan.

[sentypurr]

I wonder wich characters what we know off are scrapped. Like i seriously worry for Stephan he is my little precious babyboy, and i worry that he essentially was replaced by Temi. Or Bailey who i like a lot too (imagine potential shipping and angst fics with certain magician). So do they still exist?

Stefan and Bailey are very much still existing characters!!♥ They don't get nearly enough love as they should, but I still have plans for both of them, rest assured♥

For those that don't know them, let me introduce them (just be forewarned that this is some VERY OLD ART)

Stefan's an otter!! The definition of "Lawful Good". Honest to a fault, averse to any form of cheating or debauchery, and just overall the best influence you could have around. Or so you would think.

A lot of his original concept remains fairly the same- He's one of Robyn's few childhood friends, with whom he's got a...very unique history. These days, it seems there's a palpable tension in the room whenever they're together, despite their efforts to be in good terms.

Even OLDER art, but Bailey is a golden retriever detective, and similar to Stefan, a very righteous one. She works the hardest of anyone in her division, all with the genuine intent to bring crooks to justice and make the world a better place.

The only things getting in her way are her occasional clumsy blunders...and the muffled, repressed part of her mind that dares to ask whether her cause might be making citizens' lives better...or worse.

Episode G redraw. The Aiolia and Shaka fight against the Titans Japetos and his wife Temis has always been my favorite battle of the entire series. The perfect combination of attack and defense.

I also really loved the whole conversation about what it means to love as a human and the tragedy of what the Titans went through.

Temi sat cross-legged on her bed, still unused to the quiet solitude of her new apartment in Los Angeles. The large mattress had only been delivered this morning, and apart from that and a few scattered boxes, the room was nearly bare. But there was a certain cozy charm about it, a sense of space and calm that made the emptiness feel intentional, almost refreshing. The floor-to-ceiling windows that framed the skyline of the sprawling city made it feel even larger, the hazy sun casting golden light across the hardwood floors.

She stared out at the view for a moment, trying to shake off the unease that had settled into her bones since yesterday. The box—the one she had labeled “Year One”—still haunted her thoughts. She had stuffed it into the back of a closet in one of the spare bedrooms, far away from where she spent her time, not wanting to so much as glance at it again. The memories it held were too heavy, too painful to confront right now.

Sighing, she picked up her phone from the bed and began scrolling through her emails, trying to occupy her mind with mundane tasks. She flipped through event invites, messages from her team, and fan letters, but none of it held her attention for long. Her thoughts kept drifting back to the damned box, the weight of its contents pressing on her even from the other side of the apartment.

Just as her mind began to spiral, an incoming FaceTime call popped up on her screen, the name “Superstar” flashing brightly. Temi’s lips curled into a smile, warmth filling her chest. She knew exactly who it was.

She answered the call, and almost immediately, Yasmeena’s face filled the screen, her wide grin and bright eyes beaming from all the way in South Africa. “TETE!” Meena’s voice exploded through the phone, loud enough to be heard even if Temi hadn’t answered. The energy in her voice was infectious, and Temi couldn’t help but chuckle at her younger sister’s enthusiasm.

“Hey, Meena,” Temi said softly, her smile genuine for the first time that day.

“Oh my God, look at you in LA! I’m so excited for you!” Yasmeena’s voice was high-pitched, vibrating with excitement as she practically screamed into the phone. “When can I come visit? I’m serious, Tete, I’m booking my flight right now! We have to hang out! Just think of all the things we could do. Shopping, beach days, parties! It’s going to be EPIC.”

Temi laughed, unable to resist her sister’s contagious energy. “You’re not even going to let me settle in before you invade my space, huh?”

“Pfft, invade? Please, I’m doing you a favor, babe! You’ll be bored without me,” Meena teased, her face coming closer to the camera as if she were about to jump through the screen. Her eyes were bright with excitement, and Temi could see that fiery spirit she loved so much.

For a moment, Temi’s mood lightened, the weight of her thoughts fading into the background. Yasmeena had always had that effect on her—she could make the world feel a little less heavy, even when things were at their darkest. But no matter how much she tried to stay in the moment, her mind kept drifting back to that box.

As Yasmeena continued to ramble about all the plans she had for them in LA, her voice full of excitement, Temi’s thoughts began to wander. She lay back against the pillows, listening with half an ear as Meena talked about the places they would go, the things they would do. She felt her smile fading, her eyes drifting back to the ceiling.

“And then we can bring Yoshi along too! Oh my gosh, Tete, he’s going to love LA! You’ll finally get to meet him properly. He’s so excited to come out here with me.” Meena’s voice was bright, her eyes practically glowing as she talked about her boyfriend, Yoshi.

Temi glanced back at the screen, watching her sister with a fond smile. Meena was head over heels for Yoshi, and it was written all over her face. The stars in her eyes, the way her voice softened when she said his name—it was clear. “That’s great, Meena. I’m happy for you.”

“Thanks, Tete! You’ll love him, I promise. He’s so much fun, and he’s got this incredible energy, you know? Just like me!” Meena laughed, tossing her braids back dramatically. “We’re basically the perfect match.”

Temi chuckled, but her heart wasn’t in it. She felt disconnected, like she was going through the motions. Her mind was still stuck on the unease from yesterday, the paranoia that had settled in since she found that box. Yasmeena’s energy was usually enough to pull her out of any funk, but not this time.

Meena noticed the silence on the other end of the call, her eyes narrowing slightly as she peered into the screen. “Tete?” she asked, her tone shifting from playful to serious. “What’s up with you? You’ve been quiet this whole time.”

Temi blinked, caught off guard by her sister’s perceptiveness. She hadn’t realized how much her mood had shifted. “Nothing, I’m fine,” she said quickly, sitting up a little straighter. “Just tired, I guess.”

But Yasmeena wasn’t buying it. She squinted at the camera, bringing her face closer until one eye filled the entire screen. “Aht. Don’t lie to me. You’re being weird.”

Temi laughed, despite herself. “Meena, stop pestering me,” she said, shaking her head. “I’m not lying, I’m just tired.”

Meena pulled her face back from the screen, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. “Tired, huh? You sure that’s all it is?”

Temi hesitated, her eyes flickering away from the screen for a moment. She didn’t want to talk about it—not now, not with Meena. Her younger sister was still riding the high of being noticed in the industry, of receiving accolades and praise. Temi didn’t want to drag her into the darker side of it all, didn’t want to ruin her fire with the shadows of her own experiences.

But at the same time, they never kept secrets from each other. That wasn’t their relationship.

“I didn’t get much sleep last night,” Temi admitted, her voice softening.

Meena’s eyes softened with concern, her fiery energy dimming slightly. “Why not? What happened?”

Temi hesitated again, unsure of how to explain the strange feeling she’d had since finding that box. “There was this box in my stuff,” she began slowly. “I don’t remember packing it, but it was there when I was unpacking yesterday.”

Meena frowned, her brows furrowing. “What do you mean? Like, someone else put it there? How?”

“I don’t know,” Temi said, shaking her head. “It’s weird. I just—” she paused, her voice growing quieter. “I just feel like I’m being watched.”

Meena’s expression shifted immediately, her playful demeanor vanishing as she grew serious. She glanced around her own living room before lowering her voice. “Tete, are you serious? That’s not something to mess around with.”

Temi shrugged, not meeting her sister’s eyes on the screen. “I don’t know, Meena. It’s probably nothing. I’m just in my head. I need to get more sleep.”

But Meena wasn’t convinced. Her wide, doe-like eyes were filled with concern as she leaned closer to the camera. “Do you want me to come to LA? I can be there tomorrow. I’m serious.”

Temi shook her head quickly, not wanting to worry her sister any more than she already had. “No, it’s fine. You don’t need to do that. I’m just overthinking it. It’s probably nothing.”

Meena’s face softened, but the worry didn’t leave her eyes. “Are you sure? Because if you need me, I’ll be on the first flight with Mama. Don’t play with me. I’ll be there.”

Temi shuddered at the thought of their mother getting involved, immediately brushing off the idea. “That’s not necessary. Please don’t drag Mama into this. I’m fine.”

There was a tense moment of silence between them, but Temi could see Meena’s fiery spirit returning as she nodded slowly. “Okay, okay, I won’t call Mama. But promise me you’ll take care of yourself, alright? And don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything.”

Temi nodded, grateful for her sister’s understanding. “I promise.”

The tension eased slightly as Meena shifted in her seat, a small smile creeping back onto her face. “Good. Now, let’s change the subject before I get all emotional over here.”

Temi laughed, relieved by the change in tone. “Yes, please.”

And just like that, Yasmeena launched into another animated story, her energy returning in full force as she rambled about her latest plans with Yoshi, about the gigs she had lined up, and the endless list of things she wanted to do in LA. Temi listened, half-engaged, but her mind kept drifting back to that box, to the unsettling feeling that had followed her since yesterday.

She tried to focus on her sister’s voice, tried to let the lighthearted conversation pull her out of her thoughts, but deep down, the unease still lingered. No matter how hard she tried to push it away, the feeling of being watched persisted.

For now, though, she would let Meena’s voice fill the space, hoping it would be enough to distract her, even if only for a little while.
