𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 skinship, kissing, fluff, slightly suggestive LiBRARYㅤ

“It’s too hot.”

Humidity piled into the room, creating a heavy atmosphere despite the joy of your boyfriend coming over to visit. Moving across your apartment, you grabbed hold of the remote that controlled the air con, attempting to put it on the highest setting to get rid of the sticky feeling coating your entire body. 

 “This damn air con isn’t working.” You complained, hitting the remote against your leg to try and get it to work. The oversized shirt you were wearing that was supposed to help airflow, benefitted nothing and instead stuck to your sweat-coated body. 

A groan of disappointment erupted from Sunghoon’s throat as he rose to feet abruptly. Turning to face him, you watched as he peeled his shirt off of his body, exposing his glimmering abs. 

“Didn’t know you liked my body that much.” He spoke, unknowingly pulling you out of your daze. Heat coated your cheeks when you realised that you had been mindlessly gaping at his upper body. “Don’t say it like that,” You snapped, attempting to defend yourself. “You make me sound like a pervert” 

Stepping in your direction, he effortlessly towered over you, radiating body heat. “But don’t you think I’m hot?” He questioned, fanning his warm breath over your lips, inching nearer. 

Your response was cut off by his lips consuming yours, knocking air out of your lungs. Warmth coated your already sweating body as you tried to push him away from you. Humid wind brushed against your bodies as if the temperature itself wasn’t hot enough. 

“It’s too hot.” You murmured against his lips, feverish from the weather. Moving your hands to his chest in an attempt to push him away, you paused abruptly, feeling the rapid pacing of his heart against his smooth skin. Pulling away from you, he shot a grin in your direction. 

The sound of your ringtone drowned out his remark, serving as the perfect distraction from the temperature that you were more than willing to avoid. “Hi, mum.” You spoke, smiling audibly through your words. 

Leaning his arm above you, he pressed a kiss on your jawline. “This evening?” Doing your best to avoid sounding breathless, you tried dodging your boyfriend’s radiating body heat. “Of course.” You grinned, pinned in position against the wall and toiling against the sweat dampening your frame. 

“See you later.” Moments after ending your call, your lips were pulled into his while his hands casually rested on your waist.

Humming into your lips, he pulled back. “Who called?” 

“My mum. She’s coming over in the evening which means you have to stop leeching off my neck.” You spoke, trying to pry him away from you.

“Just five more minutes.” He persuaded, trailing ticklish kisses to your collarbone. Seeing that his persuasion wasn’t working, he moved his hands to your stomach, digging lightly into your flesh and tickling your stomach, causing an eruption of giggles to sound through your throat. 

Moving away from the wall, you toppled over the bed, your fit of giggles never ceasing. After catching your breath, you caught your boyfriend’s eyes through the dark curtain of hair covering them. 

“Is that a yes then?” He questioned, his grin matching your own. Glancing at the clock on the wall, you pulled a face. “Five minutes max.” 

Moving his lips to the shell of your ear, he softly muttered. “We’ll see about that.”

Bloodied Love

Yandere Homelander x supe reader pt.1

Summary: He never expected to have a soulmate. His mark was never there, so what happens once it appears where you touched him? A girl like you, not even human. You fed off of his kind, but that dosn’t deter him from the horrors he has planned. You deprived him of your love, and now he won’t let go of you…even if he has to kill you.

Warnings: This is a Yandere fic so there will be blood, gore, ect. There will be nsfw themes and scenes in here as well as drugging and other things. Reader is not a human but she’s a water and air spirit called a Nokken. Reader has a hatred for humans

A mysterious dark figure has yet again saved the city once more. Could this be a new hero on the rise? Stay tuned for more-“ 

A [skin color] hand pressed the big red button on the dainty remote. Though her strength was controlled she almost crushed it. “Looks like someone’s getting famous.” Y/n looked away from the black screen and towards her friend. Her milky white eyes began shifting back into their natural [eye color] shade. “I guess.” Y/n mumbled. Her sharp claws slowly retracting. Almost like bear claws. “Dosn’t really matter when we have hero’s killing innocent civilians.” Y/n stated, standing up she towered over her friend, “You know Ivan…I’m not even sure if this hero thing is what I want.” 

The shorter male who at the time was drinking a glass of wine had choked on the bitter substance. His black soulmate mark seemed to jump as he shifted quickly. The dark red liquid running down his chin as he scrambled to wipe it away. “What?! How come?” Ivan asked, his honey brown eyes widened. “It’s not because of that accident right?! Because if that’s it you should know that it’s not knew-“ 

“Thats the problem…I-“ Y/n paused as her radio began to go off. Signaling an attack. Ivan tilted his head towards the door as he looked down at y/n’s outfit. “You’re still in your suit. Best get going.” He said in a fatherly tone. Y/n smile but scoffed in order to cover it up. She walked out the front door. Her body taking her towards the site immediately.

She could still feel his blood on her. The blood of her comrades she worked with, the blood of Ivan. The gaze of his blood still lingered in his mouth. There was nothing left, only his half eaten head that lie in the ground. A horrified expression laid on his dead face. She didn’t feel that urge anymore. That burning sensation that told her to eat, eat, eat. 

She knew she didn’t want to. He gave her no choice!! He was out for her blood! He was out for her abilities! She was just big game to him. A long cat and mouse game that she was oblivious to playing. A bounty on her head! He only wanted the money, he was like all the other rotten humans in this world! All the dirty, disgusting, vermin-

A single drop was able to knock her from her thoughts. And then the camera flashing began as she stood at the foot of the plane. American press were taking pictures of her. Fans screamed her name, but y/n’s smile had not reached her eyes. For she held no pleasure in standing before these people. Her mother country, Brazil had sent their number one hero to help America. A oncoming agreement came from the two countries and a treaty was made. America gives them resources and money and they gave up…..her. But that did not mean she would abandon her past. Even if she were to live here for a few years before going back home. 

“[Hero Name]! How does it feel to be on American soil?!” One of the interviewers asked, shoving their mics in her face. They don’t really care, they wanted the money. They all only wanted money. 

Y/n’s eyes trailed down to meet the woman’s eyes. A flash of nervousness appeared within her irises. Her green eyes meeting y/n’s milky white ones. Y/n tilted her head to the side, examining if she even wanted to speak with the woman. “It feels just like home.” Y/n finally spoke up, flashing a polite smile towards the smaller woman. She stood at a tall height of 5’8, her form taller than most women she knew, and yet smaller than most men. 

“[hero name]! Can you describe your powers of being a Nokken?!” Another reporter questioned. Y/n’s hand twitched but no one batted an eye. They probably didn’t even notice. “A magician never reveals her tricks.” Y/n said in a happy tone. That same eye catching smile was forever carved in her face. And yet again her eyes did not match. But of course no human cared. Humans were easily deceived, they were easily eaten- 

‘Dont think like that.’ Y/n thought to herself. And almost immediately the attention was finally directed off of her. “It’s homelander!” A random person states the obvious. Y/n attempted to slink away but a strong arm wrapped around her shoulder. “Thank you for the love! But I wanted to welcome in the new hero everyone’s been raving about!” The blue eyed man exclaimed. Y/n made no attempt to look up at him, for she knew that if she did she might as well be provoked to hit him. And she doubted that would do anything. “Smile.” Homelander whispered but the muscles in y/n’s face remained locked in. A neutral expression on her face as she made eye contact with reporters. She wouldn’t be a fraud like the man above her was. 

“Thank you for the warm welcome but I best be going homelander. Maybe we’ll cross paths again.” Y/n says loud enough for the reporters to hear as y/n smiles and begins to be escorted out of the airport.

The cool air hit her. Rain drops fell from the sky, turning her once [skin color] skin into a sickly grey. Her hair turning into an inky black color. She was not only a water based supe but an air one as well. The combination brought on many fans and onlookers that wished to be her. Or dispise her. 

“You left in a hurry.” That same familiar voice echoed throughout the empty streets. People were off the roads due to the storm. Y/n looked over her shoulder, this time her milky white eyes meeting his bright blue ones. “Was I supposed to linger?” Y/n questioned, turning her body towards him. She stood tall, her form didn’t look weak. 

“Not necessarily, just….unusual.” He replied. “Usually supes stick around to talk to the number one hero in the world.” 

“In America.” Y/n replied, slightly cutting him off. 

“Pardon?” He questioned. The smile on his face was fake. It didn’t reach his eyes, it looked like a mask. A horrible one at that. 

“You are the number one hero in America. Who’s to say the world when you haven’t even stepped out of it before?” Y/n questioned. Homelander gave y/n an annoyed look. “Anyway Mr retriever, I best get going.”

”Mr retriever?” Homelands questioned, he took off one of his gloves in order to get the water out of it. 

“You look like one.” Y/n spoke as she patted his arm whilst walking past him. Homelandee furrowed his eyebrows. Who does this girl think she is? He’s number one- 

The blonde haired male could feel a burning sensation on his forearm. He glanced down, not thinking it’d be anything only for his eyes go linger the name, y/n l/n was imbedded into his arm. His eyebrows furrowed, whose name was this? As realization began to sink in that this was his soulmates name…where ever she was he’d find her.

Number Seven; Surprise in a Box - 2,014 Words [Ao3 Link]

Diavolo X Fem!MC

You were rather surprised to see a little sparkly Red Box with an equally stunning Golden Bow just sitting atop your desk in the Student Council room.

It was very small- small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, as you read the card that was attached to the top of it.

‘Open Me when you are alone’

It was written in script, and it looked familiar to you, but you didn't have time to think about it as a cacophony of complaints sounded out behind you.

“Oi! Who do they think they are?! Leaving a gift for MC like that!” Mammon protested loudly.

“Indeed, I wonder if it's a demon who has a death wish of some kind?” Satan had added onto the notion.

“Ahh! MC! I'm so jealous! Open it, I wanna see!” Asmo shouted, excited at the prospect of gossip of whoever was bold enough to do such a thing.

“Makes sense, MC is a beautiful person, and I'm just a gross and weird otaku.” Levi chimed in.

All of this was followed by a grumpy Lucifer, “ You lot! Get back to work! MC, put that away and start sorting out leaflets in the complaints box!”

You laughed at the memory, as you sat on the edge of your bed in your pajamas, hair still a little wet from the shower.

“This handwriting is so familiar…” You pondered, turning the tag around in your hands to try and figure it out.

You decided that enough was enough, and pulled off the top of the box, which had only caused you more confusion.

Inside, placed gently atop a bed of red tissue paper, was a small remote that was no bigger than the palm of your hand.

It almost looked like one of those little remotes that control tower fans.

It had 4 buttons on the top, and 3 buttons on the bottom.

It had nothing else on it.

No indications as to what it was that it may be used for.

“Huh, that's weird.” You said, pressing the first button on the remote.

You weren't surprised to find that nothing had happened.

You pulled the tissue paper in the box aside, thinking you may have missed an important detail, but it was empty beyond the little remote.

You pressed the second button, yet still nothing happened, as you rotated the small device in your hand a few times trying to figure out this little puzzle.

It was only when you pressed the third button on the remote that something happened.

Though, you were pretty sure it was unrelated.

BZZT… BZZT … BZZT …

“Oh? Diavolo?” You spoke, looking down at your D. D. D. to see who it was that was calling.

It was a video chat request.

You quickly looked into your mirror to make sure you looked presentable, running your fingers through your hair while wiping a smudge off of your face.

“Lord Diavolo! Good evening!” You greeted, finally hitting accept on the screen as his handsome face popped up onto the screen.

“Ah, MC! It's always a pleasure to hear your voice, and now, I can also see your face!” He laughed, his golden eyes appearing to glow from the dim light of the phone screen.

“Right? This new feature is wonderful!” You gushed, leaning your phone against a pile of books on your nightstand so you didn't have to hold it the whole time.

“Indeed, the Three-Legged Crow Group has produced yet another wonderful thing!” The young prince gushed, excited that you were enjoying something that was made here in the Devildom.

“Lord Diavolo, if you don't mind me asking, why have you called at such a late hour?” You had asked, watching a look of realization dawn across his face. “Surely there was another reason.” You continued to tease.

“Right, of course!” He said, a blush appearing on his tanned face. “I was actually curious to see if you received my gift?”

“Gift?” You questioned, trying to think if you've received anything from him recently. “I don't think so?”

“No?” He tilted his head to the side, slightly confused. “The red box-”

“Oh!” You shouted, reaching over to grab the small remote. “You mean this?”

“Yes!” He said, a look of relief on his face. “I'm glad you were able to relieve it!”

“To be honest, I wasn't sure if it was meant for me, there were no names in the tag.” You lamented, pressing another button in the remote.

You hear a deep and masculine grunt, as your eyes shoot up to look at Diavolo through the small screen of your D. D. D.

“It was absolutely meant for you, My Dear.” You heard him speak in a hushed tone, his voice dropping a little as you felt your heart skip a beat.

“What's it for?” You asked, subconsciously leaning in closer to your screen.

“Allow me to show you.” he said, tilting his phone down so you could see his erect penus sticking up against the material of his silky red boxers.

You whined quietly, rubbing your legs together the site, biting your lip as you watched it flex and press up against the fabric of his clothing.

“Go ahead, My Dear, press another button.” Diavolo spoke, as the hand that was resting on his thigh twitched in anticipation.

You did as you were told, pressing the first button on the little remote again.

You jolted slightly, as you heard Diavolo release a loud groan, throwing his head back as you saw his dick vibrate just a little.

“Ah? Diavolo, What was that?!” You exclaimed, leaning close to your screen to understand what it was that had happened.

You heard him release a deep, masculine laugh, as he began to tease you by slowly lowering his boxers down.

You felt your body shudder in anticipation, as you watched more and more of the Demon Prince's body becoming exposed to you.

His gorgeously tanned waist seemed to sparkle in the dim light, and you whined as you watched while he lifted his waist up enough to pull his boxer completely down. 

His thick cock, already completely swollen and dripping with pre, springing out so harshly that it slapped up against his very chiseled muscular abs.

“Already like what you see?” He chuckled, lightly stroking himself with his fingertips until your eyes fell upon a ring that was located at the base of his cock.

“It makes me want to be there with you now, to touch and kiss and lick you all over.” You said, your voice a pitch higher due to your excitement.

You could feel your pussy quiver at the sight, beginning to become wet with anticipation, clenching over nothing as it sent dull pleasure that ran throughout your whole body.

“Ah, MC, I crave for your affections as well.” He groaned, clenching his teeth as you noticed his dick twitch at your filthy words.

“I do have to ask, though.” You began, as you began to caress your body slowly underneath your pajamas. “What is that ring on your cock for?”

“For you.” He said simply, watching you slowly lift your shirt up and over your head, your bare chest coming into perfect view for him. “Press and hold the first button, see what happens.”

You did just that, wiggling your hips as you leaned in closer to the phone screen.

Diavolo moaned, throwing his head back as he removed his hand from his dick. You watched in awe, as you held the button down, you saw the little ring at the base begin to buzz quietly. 

It also began slowly moving up and down the shaft of his cock, not too far up enough to touch the leaking head, but just enough of a stroke to cause light pleasure..

You released the button, watching the little ring continue to buzz up until it rested itself up against the base of his dick once more.

“I've been wearing this all day, waiting for you to get curious enough to press the button.” He began to babble, losing himself to you, as he watched you pull your shorts and underwear down enough to stick your hand down there.

“My poor little Demon Prince.” You cooed, stroking your clit as you began to play around with the buttons on the remote.

He groaned, placing his hands on his thighs as he allowed you to do with him as you please.

He loved it when you spoke to him like that, it made him incredibly needy for your praises and affection.

“You were waiting all day for me, hmm? Why didn't my sweet Prince come and see me sooner?” You cooed, speaking in the soft voice you know he liked, keeping your finger pressed on the softest setting on the remote.

“I was- I was busy.” He whined, throwing one of his arms over his face, covering his eyes as he was biting his lower lip while you pressed the second button on the remote.

The ring kicked it up a bit, vibrating harder and moving faster, as you began to move your fingers down to insert one of them into your soping hole.

“Busy? My poor baby boy is always so busy.” You whined, using your finger to touch the spot deep inside of you that made you keen.

“M'sorry! Wan- want to be there… there with you!” He moaned, his legs spreading further apart on his chair.

“You do?” You cooed, inserting a second finger inside of yourself as you ramped up the speed on his ring once more.

“I do! You make me feel so good! Want to be with you, always,” He sighed, as the ring started to move up higher to stroke his angry, red tip.

“Aw, my baby boy loves me so much. I love him too. So, so much.” You spoke, your voice getting smaller as you began to press and stroke onto the soft spot that always made you feel gooey.

“Love! Love you so much!” He shouted, screaming your name as he came, launching spurts of sticky white cum onto his chest.

The way he screamed your name, and watching his hot cum land so carelessly atop his chest, leaving streaks of white sliding down his tits.

You came around your fingers, feeling your walls squeeze around your fingers, as your pussy gushed liquid all down your thighs.

You took your finger off the button, pulling your pants down to rest around your knees, as you felt your cum drip down and land on your bed sheet below you.

“MC.” He spoke softly, trying to get your attention, as you looked up and watched him pull the ring off of his softening cock.

You licked your lips again, hearing a soft and pleasant suction noise, as the ring got caught in his stream of cum that covered his dick.

“Yes, my wonderful and kind, Lord Diavolo?” You spoke, running your finger up your thigh and through your cum as you spoke to him.

“We must do this more often, on the days in which we can't normally be together.” He spoke, a sad tone in his voice. “Those days seem to be growing in number, it seems.”

“Absolutely. I am here for you, just as much as you are here for me.” You spoke with conviction, pulling a rag up from off your floor that you were using to dry your hair earlier.

“I have nothing planned for the day and night of Christmas. I would be honored if you would come to the Castle and have the day with me.” He spoke, returning to his normal pattern of speech.

It was endearing to hear how quickly he recovered, as your legs still felt a little mushy.

“I'd love nothing more.” You smiled, picking up your phone from its spot on the nightstand.

You both bid your goodbyes, as you wiped your legs off and changed into a new pair of shorts and panties.

Big surprises really do seem to come in small packages.

[levi-supreme]

For your 600 follower event, can I get English breakfast tea and a scone? I’m a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and I talk through the movies a lot, quoting and critiquing them.

Characters: Jean x fem!reader

Prompts: Jean [English breakfast] and movie date [scone]

A/N: Hello there, and thank you so much for the support!!!! I'm sorry this took so long, and I hope you'll enjoy this sweet movie date with Jean!!! 💛 I am not very familiar with LOTR, so a big BIG shout out to @m-jelly for the help on this!!! Thank you so much Jelly! <3

I also apologise for the amount of dialogues in there oops! Having a lovers' squabble with Jean was actually pretty fun to write. Also, I had to rely on youtube videos for a crash course on LOTR so I hope I managed to nail something, and I hope you'll like it too!

Rei’s 600 Follower Event: Date-A-Boyfriend (Closed)

Once a month, you and your boyfriend Jean would organise a movie marathon, and this month, is was your turn to host and choose a movie. You chose to watch The Lord of the Rings as it was your absolute favourite, and you would never miss a chance to watch the movies over and over again.

You two prepared loads of snacks as you knew how long the movies were. There were salted and caramel popcorn, nachos and cheese, pretzels, crackers and dips, veggie chips, cookies, biscuits, chocolate, and also soft drinks as well.

"Remind me how long the marathon would last again?" Jean questioned as you sat on the couch, holding a large bowl of freshly popped caramel popcorn.

"It's 11 hours and 26 minutes, Jean," you giggled, feeding him some hot popcorn. Jean raised his eyebrow.

"Really? I swear the internet told me it was shorter."

You rolled your eyes and laughed, eating some popcorn, "of course it's longer, honey. We have to go with the extended version. It's the only acceptable answer." Jean took the blanket and covered it over both your legs.

"I better not catch you dozing off halfway, then." Jean playfully pinched your cheek. "You always doze off when we get to The Two Towers."

"Nah-uh, not today, sweetie," you laughed and ate some more popcorn, "I'm gonna stay awake." Jean merely smirked and muttered 'that's what you said the last time' under his breath.

"I heard that," you scowled, playfully poking Jean on his ticklish spots making him howl with laughter, "I'll stay awake this time. I promise." Once Jean stopped laughing and you both were comfortable, you took the remote control and started the movie.

»»————-　　————-««

"You actually did stay up all the way, huh?" Jean stretched and yawned loudly when the credits started rolling. Looking at the clock in the living room, it was already close to 7am. Maybe you two could even go to the café nearby for breakfast. You finished your cup of lemonade and turned to face your boyfriend.

"I told you I was going to stay awake." You looked at Jean smugly, stretching your neck and your arms. The both of you continued watching the ending credits roll by silently. You've always had a lingering question in your head every time you watched The Lord of the Rings, and this time, you needed to get this question out of your mind.

"Jean." You broke the silence after the credits finished rolling.

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

Jean sensed your tone of voice a little different than usual. He eyed you nervously and gulped before nodding, "... yeah?"

"What would you do... if you were in Aragorn's shoes?" You turned to Jean as he looked at you silently. "What would you have done if it were you?"

Jean was tongue-tied. He looked as though he had something to say, yet he just opened and closed his mouth like a gaping goldfish.

"I would've done the same, you know," you turned towards the TV again, "I would've done what Arwen did. I'd give up immortality for a life with the person I love most."

"And I would stop you from doing so, exactly like what Aragorn did."

"But why?" You questioned Jean again, and he remained silent. "Why would you do that?"

"Because I would want you to be happy." Jean stared hard at you. "I—j-just, well. Just imagine. You would've outlived me, for sure. What will happen to you once I'm gone? You're going to be all alone, and you're going to be miserable. You're going to die of a broken heart like Arwen, and I wouldn't want that to happen to you. I don't want you to suffer."

"I beg to differ," you took Jean's hand and held it, "I don't care about all that. Yeah, sure, I will be alone, but at least I was happy. I may be heartbroken without you, but I wouldn't have any regrets. I'd rather live a short but fulfilling life and die of a broken heart than to live a long life filled with regrets."

Jean gripped your hand tighter, staring hard at you again. "Sweetie. Listen to me. That's silly, and very risky, okay? Arwen chose to give up her immortality and look at what happened? If the ring wasn't destroyed, she would have died. All her choices and decisions would have gone to waste."

"But look at them! Arwen saw her future with Aragorn, and they even had a family together. She decided to take a gamble for her happiness and for the man she loved. If that isn't the purest and most beautiful form of love, I don't know what else is.

"Sometimes you just have to take a gamble, honey," you loosened your grip and gently cupped Jean's cheek, "I'll put my faith in the people I trust, and I believe in them too. I'll do anything in my power to be with you.

"Remember what Arwen said to Aragorn in Rivendell? She said 'I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone', and that is exactly what I want to tell you too. It doesn't matter that I'll be alone. What matters is that I get be with you, and that's already more than enough."

Jean looked at you again and sighed, laughing and shaking his head in defeat, "fine, sweetie, you win, okay? I'm yours until the end of eternity."

Smiling, you gently pat Jean's cheek, giving him a kiss. "And so am I. I'm yours until the end of eternity too."

As you stretched your limbs on the couch, Jean looked at you again and suddenly, he pulled you into his embrace and hugged you tightly. Your arms snaked up his back and hugged him in return, and the both of you remained in each other's embrace.

"I know your question was hypothetical, but don't ask me things like this again, 'kay? It's scary." Jean muttered out of a sudden, causing you to break out a laughter.

"You're ruining the moment, Jean, shhh," you giggled, nuzzling your head in the crook of his neck, "just keep quiet and hug me." The both of you continued hugging each other on the couch, until Jean's stomach rumbled loudly, making you burst out laughing again.

"Well I'm sorry to ruin the moment again, but I'm starving, and I want food. Proper food." Your giant boyfriend grumbled and shook himself free from the hug. "Let's wash up and get breakfast." Jean complained again and pushed himself off the couch, dragging you to the bathroom while you had a wide smile on your face.

Aaaaaaaaaaand that's it for the movie date with Jeanbo!! Thank you so much for sending me such a lovely request, and I hope you liked it!!

[klonoa-at-blog]

From: Nintendo World (March 2009)

A new mascot for the Wii Platform games are getting harder and harder to find. Even more so when it's in 2D perspective. It's even worse when it's on a console like the Wii that excels in using the Wii Remote in an original way. With a few exceptions, like the excellent Super Mario Galaxy, and last year's releases like Wario Land Shake It! and de Blob, this type of game doesn't usually get many iterations. But if it all depends on Namco and Klonoa, the style will still live a little longer.  As is already obvious, Klonoa is a platform game, in which you control a creature that I wouldn't dare say what animal it is. Some say it's a cat, but you're never sure. It is more accurate to call him "animal with giant ears that we don't know exactly what it is", or the abbreviation "animal". The new work is actually not new. It is a remake of a game released in 1996 for a "non-Nintendo" console. The protagonist who gives the name to the game, lives in a place called "Phantomile" and this place survives on the dreams of its residents. That explains why they can't remember them afterwards. But Klonoa keeps having the same dream every night, about a flying ship crashing into a mountain near where he lives with his grandfather. Surprisingly, in one night, this happens exactly as he dreams, and from there comes the villain Ghadius, who is a dark spirit who wants to turn all dreams into nightmares and put Phantomile at risk. Now Klonoa resolves to be the hero and save his city. Nothing Oscar worthy, not least because it's a game, not a movie. SIMPLE FANTASY Visually, Klonoa impresses with its level of detail, even though it is a "2.5D" game. With 3D graphics, but the camera is focused to the side, allowing only lateral progression of the character. Even with this limitation, the game manages to use creative shapes to give the necessary aspect to create a three-dimensional environment. The character can rotate in scenarios, such as a spiral tower, and observe distant objects that will only be possible by following paths of this style. And all with bright, colorful detailing. Similar to a Disney movie. Only with an "animal" that we don't know what it is. The simple story dictates the style of the game. Not that it's a bad thing, but it demonstrates how easy the game is to play and to advance through the challenges, which aren't even complicated. However, the theme of the game is interesting. You use a spirit friend, called "Huepow", and the "Wind Bullet" weapon that serves to catch enemies and lift them above their heads. So far it seems simple, but the possibilities of this simple act are what differentiate Klonoa from many games. You can do the obvious, which is to throw the enemy into another, or use the enemy to double jump and reach new areas. This possibility helps to create very unique puzzles.  The game is divided in the usual way, with platform and puzzle phases, and at the end you face a boss. Even being a game that seems ordinary, its presentation, and the ways to advance in the game, are the true protagonists of the experience. For fans of the platform genre, there's no better time.

Last Monday of the Week 2023-12-04

ah fuck the mondaypost

Listening: I have been going back through some of @kelp-of-discontent's recs that I've saved and not gone back to. Great taste! Here's Pool Kids's Pool Kids

I always love the unmoored feeling good math rock gives you and this really lands that.

Watching: Double Features, 1) Bara no Soretsu/Funeral Parade of Roses because @thosearentcrimes has been trying to get us to watch that forever and we finally just sat down and watched it on yes the extremely funny ultrawide monitor that was being used as my TV.

Bara no Soretsu is very good in that arthouse way where it's very unpolished and has some very out there ideas about what makes a good movie but executes on it earnestly and with a goal. It's a combination of a movie about transgender women in the underground gay men's scene in 60's japan loosely based on the myth of Oedipus and also a documentary following the actors as they make this movie, in a way that makes it kind of hard to tell when something is meant to be the movie and when it's meant to be the documentary.

It's very uh. Challenging? It's honestly less tragic than I was expecting and it's mostly just a fascinating look into this very specific time and place. The interviews are priceless, a trans woman very straight facedly looking into the camera when asked "are you having a good time" and going "no, but I'm going to keep doing it". 10/10

Also Tomb Raider but the 2001 Angelina Jolie one. An impromptu pick for Bad Movie Night because we had an empty house and didn't want to burn a good bad movie. Tomb Raider is most interesting in how it approaches shooting action which is to say that it's mostly not good at it but has brief moments of inspiration. A very generic action adventure story otherwise, featuring young Daniel Craig as a prettyboy graverobber counterpart to Lara Croft. They made Angelina Jolie do an English accent and she just could not do it.

Reading: The other short stories that came along with Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. Tower of Babylon is a fun atmospheric story of the Ancient Sumerians building a tower to breach the vault of heaven. Division by Zero is a very compelling depiction of a mathematician going insane because she has proven arithmetic to be inconsistent, which is notably not accompanied by any material changes in the world around her, which I liked.

Making: Mostly preparatory. I have a few project I've been sketching out, including hacking my own controller onto a WS2812 LED string and automating my radiators. The stepper motors and the string arrived today. Looking into exprTK, an expression evaluation library that should be suitable for my needs, and the ESP32 RMT subsystem which is a cute little mini-DSP and modulator built into the ESP32 ostensibly for IR Remote Control but frequently used now to quickly and efficiently implement all manner of protocols.

Playing: More Dark Souls, although less this week because I've been doing other things. still working around Darkroot Basin but I really haven't been there long. The ents are a real pain in the ass when paired with the knights, not because they're very hard but because you just have to wait for them to jump you.

Tools and Equipment: a new AMD GPU tuning utility for Linux was released a little while ago, LACT, which has a much simpler interface than some of the older tuning utilities. I like it, especially since I was doing some fan noise tuning after I installed the new network card and being able to just hit the fan speed with a slider was convenient.

The Ultimate Guide to High Capacity Water Chillers for Industrial Use

Introduction to High Capacity Water Chillers

High capacity water chillers play a crucial role in industrial processes. They ensure optimal temperatures, improve efficiency, and enhance product quality. This guide explores the benefits, types, and maintenance of these essential machines.

Benefits of High Capacity Water Chillers

Industrial water chillers offer numerous advantages. Firstly, they maintain precise temperature control, which is vital for sensitive processes. Secondly, they improve operational efficiency by reducing downtime. Additionally, they can lower energy costs through advanced cooling technologies. Finally, these chillers enhance the longevity of industrial equipment by preventing overheating.

Types of High Capacity Water Chillers

Understanding the different types of water chillers is essential. The three main categories are:

1. Air-Cooled Chillers

Air-cooled chillers are ideal for environments with limited water supply. They use ambient air to dissipate heat, making them cost-effective and easy to install. However, they can be less efficient in hot climates.

2. Water-Cooled Chillers

Water-cooled chillers are more efficient than their air-cooled counterparts. They use water from cooling towers to remove heat, making them suitable for larger industrial applications. These chillers are known for their reliability and energy efficiency.

3. Absorption Chillers

Absorption chillers utilize heat sources such as steam or hot water instead of electricity. They are eco-friendly and can be a good option for industries with excess waste heat. However, their initial setup can be more expensive.

Key Features of High Capacity Water Chillers

When selecting a high capacity water chiller, consider these key features:

1. Cooling Capacity

Ensure the chiller meets your specific cooling needs. Assess the required cooling load to choose an appropriately sized unit.

2. Energy Efficiency

Look for chillers with high COP (Coefficient of Performance) ratings. Energy-efficient models reduce operating costs and environmental impact.

3. Reliability and Durability

Invest in chillers from reputable manufacturers known for reliability. Durable units minimize maintenance needs and ensure long-term performance.

4. Control Systems

Advanced control systems enhance chiller performance. Features such as remote monitoring and automated adjustments optimize efficiency and reduce manual intervention.

Maintenance Tips for High Capacity Water Chillers

Proper maintenance extends the lifespan and efficiency of water chillers. Follow these maintenance tips:

1. Regular Inspections

Conduct routine inspections to identify potential issues early. Check for leaks, corrosion, and abnormal noises.

2. Clean Heat Exchangers

Clean heat exchangers regularly to maintain optimal heat transfer. Accumulated dirt and debris can hinder efficiency.

3. Monitor Refrigerant Levels

Ensure refrigerant levels are within the recommended range. Low refrigerant levels can impair cooling performance.

4. Lubricate Moving Parts

Lubricate components such as compressors and fans to reduce friction and wear. Proper lubrication extends the lifespan of these parts.

High capacity water chillers are indispensable in industrial settings. They provide precise temperature control, improve efficiency, and protect equipment. By understanding the types, features, and maintenance of these chillers, you can make informed decisions for your industrial cooling needs. Prioritize energy efficiency and reliability to maximize benefits and minimize costs.
