Why everything became so unbearably fast?

It's like I play jenga everyday by choosing at which project to work today.

Favorite Lines from Hazbin Hotel songs Part Two:

Poison—this song broke my heart as Angel Dust is one of my favorites, and seeing what he had to deal with from Val was devastating.

“I shoulda known it when I looked into your red hot eyes.”

“Addicted to this feelin’ I can’t help but swallow up your poison.”

“I got so good at tellin’ you what you wanna hear.”

“Poison, I'm drownin' in poison. I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow full of poison, I'm sick of the poison. Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow.”

Loser, Baby

“You’ve lost your way. You think your life is wrecked. Well, let me just say you’re correct.”

“You’re a fucked up little whiny bitch. You’re a loser just like me.”

“You’re a power bottom at rock bottom, but you got company.”

“I sold my soul to a psychopathic freak.”

“And you think that makes you unique.”

“Baby that’s fine by me.”

“I’m a loser, honey. A schmoozer and a dummy. But at least I know I’m not alone.”

“It’s time to lose your self loathing. Excuse yourself, let hope in,baby. Play your card, be who you are.”

Hell’s Greatest Dad

“Looks like you could some help from the big boss (😈)of Hell himself.”

“With a punch from a pentagram.”

“Champagne fountains, caviar mountains. That’s just a start.”

“I’m truly honored that we built such a bond.”

“It’s a little funny. You could almost call me dad (👹😈)

(😡👿🎻)

“There’s no substitute for pure angelic power! Who just so happens to also be your blood.”

“Can you butt out of my song? (Your song?! I started this!”)

More Than Anything

“Cause in the end, you are part of who I am. I’ll support your dreams no matter what’s in store.”

“I’m grateful your my daughter/father.”

Welcome to Heaven

“Welcome to Heaven, oh-oh!” (🎤🫦)

“Welcome to Heaven, oh-oh!” (🎤🫦)

“Check out our sick decor, the spirit’s leaven, oh!” (🎤😏🫦)

“And everyone is hot!” (🎤🫦🤤🫠)

You Didn’t Know

“Checked all the boxes that you said would prove a person deserves a second chance. Now we turn our backs, no second glance.”

“It’s not fair, Sera.”

“That just because someone is dead, it doesn't mean they can't resolve to change their ways. Turn the page, escape infernal blaze.”

“What are we even talking about? Some crack whore who fucked up already?”

“There’s no question to be posed. He’s unholy, case closed.”

“A man only lives once. I’ll see you in one month. Gotta say I wait can’t to come down and exterminate you.”

“Well, I don’t need your condescension. I’m not a child to protect!”

“Was I too naive to expect you to heed the morals you’re purveying?”

“That’s what the fuck I’ve been saying.”

“If Hell is forever, then Heaven must be a lie.”

“When you make the wretched suffer just to kill them again.”

Out for Love

“I see you’re driven by your detestation.”

“You need a different type of motivation.”

“Think of who you care about. Protect them and be out for love.”

“Fuel yourself with the fear of losin’ that somebody who’s your reason to live. Harness your heart and you can’t help choosin’ to fight with all you can give.”

Ready for This

“And though I kinda feel unsteady, now I gotta be ready for this.”

“Don’t worry, honey, that’s their thing. Keep singing.”

“When Adam brings the battle here, I must appear like I’m ready for this.”

“Surprised? Why, I knew she could do it all along.”

“Stick with her and you’ll be on the winning side.”

More than Anything-Reprise

“And in the end, if it’s only me you saved, there’s something I’ve been dying to say.”

“Need you to know I love you more than anything.”

Finale

“I know I could have done better, better than letting you down.”

“You can do this, now I know it! For your story has just begun.”

“The stage is wrecked, the crowd is gone, but, by god, Charlie! The show it must go on.”

“With more sinners than you can dream.”

“It starts with you. You know it’s true. Fulfill your destiny!”

“With a bit of bravado, maybe tomorrow, we’ll be atop the heap.”

“Nature abhors a power vacuum. It leaves room for you and me. The power of hell belongs to the Vees.”

“I’m hungry for freedom, like never before!”

“Once I figure out how to unclip my wings, guess who will be pulling all the strings?”

“And then tomorrow, it will be a fuckin’ happy day in Hell!”

naruto character social media headcanons:

naruto: sakura made him a personal instagram account 3 years ago and he legitimately has opened it exactly twice (both times because sakura was asking him to pull something up). its just really not for him. honestly though that being said i feel like you could get him to be a vine creator you KNOWWWW he's abusing his shadow clone ability for this

sasuke: lets be so honest hes not touching any of that with a 50 foot pole, ever. NEXT!

sakura: definitely has a personal instagram, could also see her having a fitness instagram as well. given shes also canonically a fujoshi lets be so honest she has an ao3 and probably a fandom twitter account for liking/rting fanart as well

sai: also does not get the appeal at first. i think sakura made a valiant attempt to convince him to make an instagram account for his art but this does not pan out. it is only when ino shows him twitter's incredible versatility for haters that he understands what the hype is all about.

yamato: my immediate instinct would be to say no probably not HOWEVER i think it would be really funny if he was incredibly active on r/architecture and literally nothing else

kakashi: for the most part a hard no. however i do believe he is casually active on an incredibly obscure forum for the icha icha series. at some point naruto or sakura accidentally see that he has it pulled up on his phone and spend a solid like week hunting down his account and reading through and making fun of all of his posts. he does not know this happened

guy: honestly i think he has a facebook account that is exclusively used to find and post boomer style workout memes and positivity posts. he sends an egregious amount of the aforementioned workout memes to kakashi and lee (enthusiasm of the receivers is about what you can probably expect)

neji: decidedly proclaims social media to be a cesspool and a waste of time, does not partake. he does, however, have a meticulously upkept letterboxd account with extensive and incredibly thorough reviews of everything he's ever watched. (i believe weekly team guy movie nights can be very frustrating for him personally because neji as a person prefers films that are very introspective/character driven/abstract but the rest of his teammates more than anything are interested in watching a bunch of guys beat the living snot out of each other)

tenten: she's got an instagram where she posts short clips of training using her vast arsenal of weapons - lee and neji are frequent guest appearances as sparring partners. i also could see her having a tumblr or some sort of blog to geek out over the latest thing she's picked up

lee: i think he has facebook and instagram but purely to very enthusiastically comment on guy and tenten's posts. otherwise its really not his thing

ino: YOU KNOWWWWWWWWW SHES GOT IT ALL. tiktok instagram twitter triple threat she's definitely an influencer she's big in the makeup scene but also has huge kpop side accounts. shes definitely always getting into drama but always comes out on top in the end - a bit of a controversial figure but overall has a frankly militant fanbase. always up to date on the latest idol drama and you KNOW she'll be posting about it. also has a defunct tumblr account that which was definitely an obscenely popular aesthetics blog back in the site's heyday, but in modern times has since moved her collage boards to pinterest

choji: you know this i know this we all know this HES A FOOD BLOGGER!!!!!!!! in this world blogspot is still alive and well and hes making a killing on there. i think he would also have a tiktok account though for short review videos usually featuring his friends where they go to taste test new restaurants/dishes. i think he also has a personal instagram account just for posting friend photos and whatnot

shikamaru: very casual reddit scroller, when hes bored he'll trawl through a few political subreddits and perhaps r/shogi. never posts and has accounts on basically nothing.

hinata: type of person to HAAAAATE online drama so bad it makes her sick with stress just thinking about it. if she uses social media at all i think she has a diligently kept aesthetic tumblr blog where she posts photos and doesnt interact with anybody ever

hidan: active 4chan user.

jiraiya: its like if you took a facebook-exclusive boomer and dropped him into twitter without warning. his account was supposed to exclusively be his platform for his writing but he gave up that pretense a long time ago and now its basically just whatever he wants to put on there. we all already know what this looks like

orochimaru: saw suigetsu scrolling on twitter once and got an extensive rundown on how it works and the kind of people that frequent it. finds it fascinating in the way that one might study bacteria in a petri dish cultivated in toxic sludge, but thats about the extent of it. boruto-era however he is an active nextdoor and facebook user and exclusively posts wine mom memes

tsunade: has an official account as the hokage but its entirely run by shizune. honestly i dont think she would find much interest or enjoyment in anything social media has to offer her

suigetsu: you already know hes posting bad tiktok thirst traps. theyre really terrible . absolutely lives for kicking up drama in people's comment sections and runs an incredibly popular twitter ragebait account with more passion than hes put into anything else in his life ever

Ryūzō's Thoughts on Obihiro Division

Hisoka Tetsumasu

"Hisoka Tetsumasu… a name that doesn't stir any personal memories, but the weight of his past is something I can't overlook. I've never crossed paths with him directly, nor have I been involved in the darker aspects of his history. My past as a ninja assassin was strictly controlled, and I refused to take part in any job that didn't align with my own moral compass, which is why I ultimately left that life behind."

"His transformation from a criminal to someone who finds solace in the care of horses is a journey I can respect. It's a path of redemption I'm familiar with, as I too have sought to leave behind a life of violence for one of peace and education. I understand the anxiety that comes with a past that haunts you, the fear of retribution, and the struggle to move forward. Hisoka-san's efforts to start anew, to care for creatures as noble as horses, show a desire to change, and it's a desire I can empathize with."

"As for the jitters he feels, they're a natural response to a life once lived on the edge, always looking over one's shoulder. I hope he finds the peace he's looking for, just as I have."

Daiki Kamiyama

"Daiki Kamiyama, or 'Paladin' as he prefers to be known, is an interesting young man. His enthusiasm for heroism and justice is something I can't help but find admirable, even if it comes across as a bit naive. It's refreshing to see someone so committed to their ideals, especially in a world that often rewards cynicism and self-interest."

"I've encountered many students with their heads in the clouds, dreaming of changing the world. Daiki-kun reminds me of them—full of potential and eager to make a difference. His role as a 'superhero' may seem childish to some, but I believe it's a manifestation of a pure desire to do good, which is commendable."

"In the end, Daiki-kun's heart is in the right place, and that's what truly matters. Whether he's serving tables or donning a costume to fight for justice, his actions are driven by a desire to help others. That's a quality that should be encouraged, not dismissed. I look forward to seeing how he grows and matures."

Jack Verrill

"Jack Verrill, known as 'Heed,' is a man whose reputation precedes him. While I can’t claim to have met him before, there’s a certain familiarity in the way he carries himself—a professionalism and depth that suggest a life rich with experience. His role as Daiki-kun's butler and his mysterious past hint at a man who’s seen much and knows more than he lets on."

"I respect his dedication to his charge and his ability to adapt to various situations. His multilingual skills are impressive, and I have no doubt his English would be more than sufficient for any conversation. As for his playful idea of causing worry through language, it’s a harmless bit of fun that shows his lighter side."

"In truth, there may be common ground between us, as we both understand the weight of responsibility and the importance of discretion. Trust is earned, and in time, I believe Jack-san and I could find mutual respect based on our shared experiences and the roles we play in our respective teams."

Veiled Vanguard

"Veiled Vanguard is an intriguing team with members who each bring their own unique strengths to the table. Hisoka, despite his skittishness, has the potential to be a good leader. His dedication to his new life and his care for his horses show a capacity for responsibility and compassion. Leadership isn’t just about being fearless; it’s about guiding others and making tough decisions, qualities I believe Hisoka possesses."

"The team's formation and their entry into the D.R.B. pique my curiosity. Each member seems to have been drawn together by circumstance rather than choice, which can create a strong bond. Their diverse backgrounds and skills could provide them with unexpected advantages in the competition."

"Overall, I see a team that, while perhaps unconventional, has the potential to surprise us all with their resilience and determination. I look forward to seeing how they will grow and face the challenges ahead in the D.R.B."

A lot of time, people who don’t climb mountains assume is about this great heroic sprint for the summit, and somehow this great ego-driven ambition. But actually it’s the reverse. It’s about supplication and sacrifice and humility, when you go to these mountains. It’s not so much a celebration of oneself but the eradication of one’s self-consciousness. And so on these walks you lose yourself, you become a vessel of energy in harmony hopefully with your environment. One thrives on enthusiasm, curiosity, humility.

Julian Sands

I was saddened to read that the dead remains of Julian Sands were finally found in the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles. I hadn’t realised how deeply immersed he really was in just wearing all weather anorak, a thermos flask of tea, and a laminated Ordinance Map before he set off on an arduous hike or a climb.

As great as a character actor Julian Sands was, he was also an accomplished mountaineer. He once described himself as happiest when “close to a mountain summit on a glorious cold morning”, climbed all around the world, including the Andes and Indonesia’s Puncak Jaya, the highest mountain on an island and the only place in the country where you can find snow. I know it’s an arduous climb having done it myself. It requires a weeks-long hike through remote jungle and some chasms which can only be crossed by Tyrolean traverse ziplines.

Julian Sands was on his way to completing the dream of most mountaineering aficionados: competing the Seven Summits. It’s a considerable undertaking in every way not just the obvious physical costs but also the average cost of completing all seven which can rack up to £150,000.

Sands had done five - Aconcagua, Puncak Jaya (Oceania), Mont Blanc (Europe), Vinson (Antarctica) and Kilimanjaro (Africa) - and had only had Denali (North America) and Everest (Asia) left.

Sands also took on the Weisshorn in the Swiss Alps. Now this is revealing as any experienced or passionate mountaineer would tell you. The nearby Matterhorn may be more famous, but many mountaineers consider the Weisshorn both more beautiful, with its symmetrical triangular pyramid shape and pure white slopes, and more challenging too, combining a long and serious route with delicate rock pitches and steep snow climbing. I know I do. It’s an incredible climb to experience which I did with some army veteran friends of mine.

Sands death is a tragedy as his passion for mountaineering was inspiring. I was nodding my head when I read that Sands once began a telephone interview by saying, “Right now I’m looking across the North Face of the Eiger towards the Jungfrau. Spectacular!” But then he rang the journalist back several hours later from a bivouac to impress upon him that, though he was climbing the Eiger, he was going up the easier Mittellegi Ridge rather than the feared North Face. “Mountain and climbing folk, and a small percentage of your readers, will know the difference.” Yes, I thought, Sands gets it. I bowled over by his humility and his honesty generously bound up with his joie de vivre. These are the values of real mountaineers in seeking to climb the mountains of the mind.

RIP Julian Sands (1958-2023).

The Blood Eagle.

I’m still deciding where my life is headed, and it’s been quite a ride,

This is a decisive poem, poetry that burns my bridges, a song that saves my life, the meaning it provides,

All the actors in life’s grand play are waiting for the right scene to betray my honor,

Like a jolt that offers thanks for this long,

Cutting my back, forcing my ribs until they’re gone,

Straining my body until it feels all wrong.

Passion has made me skeptical,

The treacherous deceivers, the unremarkable flatterers, humanity, they’ve threw salt my lungs without any zeal,

Love has reignited my enthusiasm, bringing solutions clear,

Embracing me like the autumn breeze near,

My brothers, veins that seem so small, when our hands walk together,

And our souls entwined in a bright, brilliant tether,

They bring me home, restoring what I once knew,

Giving back all that was lost, making it new.

Art has driven me mad,

Sanctuary for frustrated poets, I roll my eyes with affection almost sad,

I have dreams, and somehow, they ease my mind,

When I face my reflection, my brilliance, so refined,

When cornered in the alley, the knife was sharpened well,

The Blood Eagle, their sole intent was to scoff me desperately,

Corrupting my imagination, inflaming my blood with dread,

But I looked through myself and saw what they could never shred,

I feel my instincts guide my way,

With traces of the unfulfilled living in me until the end of days.

Perhaps I’ve heard the foxes’ howl and felt the urge to defy,

Running with them, refusing to sit in the endless dry,

Maybe I’ve romanticized all this town, unwilling to awake,

Denying my place in this cellar, just for the sake,

Creating museums with forbidden screens,

Embedding secret messages in files, with words unseen.

Recovering the blood I once gave for this time,

Casting the tape and the marks of a cursed writer into the red sea’s chime,

Aiming at the devil, without take left, without make it wrong,

Keeping my secrets safe in the rabbit hole.

Vulgar beings, lacking depth or verse,

When planets align but the life keeps being a messy curse,

No one sees you lose when playing alone,

Doing everything not to be overthrown,

Bathing in gold from heads to toe,

Because the miserable buy what’s on sale, their purchases slow,

The sensitive gain treasures with devotion true,

Don’t offer your finest wine to the ignorant few,

Only true connoisseurs know how to taste,

The rest just let the fine flavors go to waste.

You can choose; strip away and wash your wounds with pure alcohol’s sting,

Or retreat, saving your courtesy for time’s healing spring,

You can choose; to be better in the rearview mirror’s light,

Missing yourself in the night,

Or this time be ready to drive, face the rain, and the abstract flight.

(P S: "Blood Eagle" was an execution method in which Vikings disemboweled their victims and pulled their lungs through their backs. I usually associate emotional pain with physical pain, because I believe that people have an easier time imagining the severity of pain when it is portrayed in a physical way. It is a clear dramatization, but anyway, in the poem I tell with metaphors, my discoveries, acceptances and the emergence of joys and true and valuable feelings in my life.)

[findroleplay]

✨Greetings!✨ I am a 25+ year old Enby searching Tumblr for some long-term 21+ Discord rp partners for MxM OcxOc!! I'll try to make this brief with what my ideal partner would be! I am in EST, but I don't care what timezone you are in.

One who is open to many different types of plots/settings and not wary of dark themes, as I like a variety of things and would eventually love to use all my OCs with the right person. I want more story-driven rps rather than pure smut. I'll also disclose that I do have a preference for writing power bottoms when it comes to smut, but I do have some OCs who can be switches, depending on the plot. Just please don't play OC's who don't have a backbone. If you don't want any smut, we can fade to black! I will also double! I expect you to put in equal effort.

If you are someone who does not enjoy in-depth storytelling, character development, plotting, gushing over OC's, dynamics of our OC's, playlists, Pinterest Boards, etc, then we will not be a good match. I need someone to match my enthusiasm. With that being said, I need a communicative and active rp partner. I give two weeks before thinking someone has ghosted me. The rp gets stale after that.

Please be literate and multi-para/novella! I will require a writing sample, and I'll share one with you, too. Still, quality>quantity. Proper grammar and punctuation are a must.

There are a couple OC's of mine who have tragic/abusive backstories, so I ask you please be okay with that.

I do not write against OC's who have children. It's just not my cup of tea.

My main trigger is m-preg/pregnancy, in general. Kinks I will not write are feet, vore, scat, watersports, vomit as a kink, that I know of so far. Feel free to ask me about anything! And I'll tell you whether I'm cool with it, or add it to my no-go list.

I expect you to multi-muse alongside me to keep the plot moving.

I do have some plot ideas in mind, or we can come up with something on our own together. You are free to reject any of my ideas, as I am free to reject any of yours.

I am not a fan of historical rp's, sci-fi, or anything high fantasy. I have OCs that fit both modern settings and dark fantasy settings. Possibly a few in apocalyptic environments, but I can be picky about those types of plots because I've always had bad luck with them.

Some Tropes I like: Slow Burns, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Enemies to Lovers, Friends w/Benefits, Friends to Lovers, Power Dynamics, Together With A Former/Current Antagonist, Living with the Villain, Supernatural Being And Their Favorite Human, Battle Couple, Nobody Thinks It Will Work...Etc.

I use RL faceclaims and manga/anime style ones. Please use either of those types, too. Any race/ethnicities are welcome!

I've never written a throuple before, but I'd be willing to try it out!

If you think we'd be a good fit, give this a like and I'll reach out! If it takes a couple days for me to reach out, that is because I don't want to get shadow banned on here again, so I'm trying to be sporadic with my DM's! 😉 Don't bother interacting if you aren't genuinely interested.

My Journey of Awakening

Part l

I have always been a complete idealist who is driven purely by passion, living solely for love and truth. Yet everyone around me in my life, during my transition from adolescence to adulthood, dropped enthusiasm and picked up realism. I was never able to understand or do that; I followed my heart so faithfully and so naturally, almost automatically, just like breathing, so that any moment stopping it would be like stopping breathing, the longer I do it the more painful and alerting it becomes. I have never been able to close my eyes and live my life simply for the sake of getting on with it as those around me did, especially all of my family. My life had to be and was only driven by meaning and passion. Each day of those years, I never stopped pondering existential questions that everyone around me never seemed to start to ask. Where did the world come from? What essentially caused us to be so different from each other? What is the most important thing? What is love? What is the meaning of life? And one thing I never ever managed to figure out: why am I the absolutely complete opposite of all my family? These traits of mine filled me with a growing sense of paining loneliness during my adolescence and early adulthood, building a transparent and bitter wall between me and my peers, all of my family, and even the whole world that I saw as I stepped into my adulthood. For a long time, I was deeply lonely and depressed, and I viscerally felt that I did not and could not belong in such an ugly world of realism and materialism. During high school and college, I couldn't make true friends, I couldn't find answers to my important questions, and I couldn't find any of the unconditional love that I so painfully longed for. I literally felt like an alien, every single moment, I didn't and couldn't know where my home planet was, or if it even existed, I didn't know exactly what it would look like, all I knew was that it must be a wonderful world with no countries, filled with souls like mine, driven purely by love and passion, leading meaningful and profound lives. I couldn't fathom how so many people in this world, like my family, were capable of prioritising anything other than passion and love in their life, never asking questions about meaning and purpose, and living instinctively just to get on with their lives, even if it is suffering. For the past five years, I have never ever feared death, because life was inherently full of boredom, loneliness, confusion and endless pain, and I would rather not exist at all, not be born. At the age of 18, in January of 2018, before the winter vacation began, I decided that if nothing would change in my life for the next few weeks, then I would end my life, end this nightmare that I couldn't wake up from, on January 24th. Because winter break meant I had to go home from college to the pragmatic, survival-anxiety-filled family that brought me deep loneliness and constant angst. I planned to jump from the top of my 11-story dormitory building wearing my headphones with my favorite song on, Gravity by coldplay, and I checked the way to the top of the building to make sure it was not locked at 4 am in the morning. As the month of January passed, the dormitory building became less and less crowded, and my life stayed the same. At 4:00 a.m. on the 24th, when everyone should have been asleep, I put on my headphones and stepped into the elevator that would lead me to the 11th floor. At the top of the elevator cell was an incandescent light, glowing beige. I stared at it as the elevator gradually rose, I was feeling no fear, but an almost sudden good mood, so I stepped out of the elevator. My plan then was never carried out again. Yet my life went on, people came and went in my world, and the pain at the core of my life remained unchanged: the unrelenting, bone-deep loneliness; the seemingly eternal excruciating longing for true, unconditional love.

Happy Munday! Please tell us some fun little facts about the mun 💫 what are the things that inspire you? like things or people?

Heya :D Happy Munday!

UHM, well, some lil facts about me:

I am currently obsessed with building block sets [ just look for the company Loz and you will know what I mean ].

I have the brain of a squirrel.

I only pretend that I know what all these letters strung together to words even mean.

I'm an archaeologist! :D

okay enough of that, short facts is really hard ngl. 🥴

So what inspires me?

Writing as a whole. The sheer act of writing, the act of creation, the possibility of creation. Writing is, quite frankly, something so important to me that the pure option to talk about this with other people or to do it as it is, can actually bring me to tears [ and at times make me physically ill, even though that sounds worse than it really is, I promise ]. When it comes to inspiration for me, I am completely wired down to take it from anything around me, even from a single word given to me. I take it from the passion others have about. From the pure joy others have about it. It quite frankly is such an important part and pure art piece of my life, that knowing that there are people who share that same hobby, who share the same want and will to create, can give me a massive boost of creative inspiration.

I strive on the knowledge that people have the willingness to bring life to their own ideas in something that they let me experience when only I wish for it and it's so awe-inspiring to be a part of that in a community that also is just so filled with the pure wish to create. It might be that this is something that appears so 'easy' when it comes to finding inspiration to sit down and type out stuff for some cute little pixels but it is actually not. If I say passion, I mean passion in the act of fervour and enthusiasm and there's not only a few people that instantly come to my mind that have that around me and that let me ramble and go on and let me just come to them screaming "I HAVE AN IDEA" and we can go from there.

That is a source of inspiration for me.

I am also wildly driven by music, as one might want to expect. Extremely moved by singular art-pieces or when it comes to character writers, fanart can give me a boost of just push to create. Music in that sense is btw a bit tricky for me, because my brain literally goes into a video modus and I HAVE to sit certain songs out because I have a movie playing in my brain and can't do anything about it. But yeah! That is what inspires me :)

AlphaTauri set clear target for De Vries as Dutchman gets ready to live the dream in F1

Nyck de Vries should be primed to score points from the early stages of his rookie F1 season and build on a “fantastic” one-off performance in 2022, according to AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost. De Vries steps up to F1 full-time with Tost’s squad for 2023 after an impressive points-scoring debut at last year’s Italian Grand Prix, where he stepped in for unwell Williams driver Alex Albon. FIRST LOOK: AlphaTauri reveal livery for 2023 AT04 at glitzy New York F1 season launch Assessing his new signing’s potential after the launch of AlphaTauri’s livery for their new AT04 contender, Tost said: “Nyck has driven in only one Formula 1 race, last year in Monza, where he produced a fantastic performance. “Nevertheless, he has a great deal of racing experience, winning races and championships in many of the categories that he took part in. Therefore, I’m quite sure that he will be able to deliver good results soon in the season, then to be finishing in the points in the races.” De Vries is better prepared than most F1 'rookies' As for how he expects his new signing to deal with the demands of car development across a full campaign, Tost argued: “Nyck is technically very highly-skilled and focused. When driving our car at the Abu Dhabi young driver test at the end of last season, he already gave the engineers good technical feedback. “I think that he will immediately understand the new car. He will get familiar with the car quickly and his feedback will be useful because, as I said before, he understands the technical challenges that Formula 1 cars present. I believe he is one of the most adept drivers in terms of technical understanding of the car.” BARRETTO: After their 2022 tumble, can a refreshed AlphaTauri charge back up the F1 grid this season? De Vries, meanwhile, expressed his enthusiasm to get going after a prolonged route to F1 that sees him arrive on the grid full-time at the age of 28, and with a wealth of motorsport experience beneath him – spanning single-seaters and endurance racing. Asked what he is most looking forward to in his rookie F1 campaign, the former F2 and Formula E champion said: “First of all, to get the opportunity to live my dream, but equally to be very excited and motivated to perform and to deliver. De Vries ran for AlphaTauri in Abu Dhabi at the end of 2022 “I think partly because my journey has been slightly unusual and longer, I’m even more grateful for the opportunity, more motivated to grab it and hungrier to show what I’m worth.” Despite his previous F1 experience, he continued: “I would say I’m still a rookie. Of course, I had the privilege of driving many different cars, but I think the benefits of that are not so much down to the track time, because actually that was very limited. GALLERY: Every angle of AlphaTauri’s new livery for the 2023 F1 season “I think having experience to have worked with different teams in different environments will bring a lot of value, but in terms of pure track and race time, I reckon I have less than this year’s other rookies [McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, 21, and Williams’ Logan Sargeant, 22]. “However, I am a bit older and I’ve had the opportunity to race in different championships so that is a level of experience that brings some value.” De Vries will spend his rookie F1 season alongside Yuki Tsunoda, with the pair aiming to lift AlphaTauri from P9 and the penultimate spot in the 2022 constructors’ standings. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Jurassic World Evolution 3 Releasing Next Year?

If a recent Morning Star article is to be believed, then Jurassic World Evolution 3 may be on the horizon far sooner than many of us anticipated.

 Frontier Developments released Jurassic World Evolution close to the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Jurassic World Evolution 2 close to the release of Jurassic World Dominion – with the third release looking set to come close to the release of the as-of-yet-unknown Jurassic World project due for release in July of 2025. The current forecast for the release of the next title from Frontier is in the fiscal year ending May 31st, 2026 – so there is a good chance of a close launch to the next film entry!

It's important to note that at this point in time, this game is not confirmed to be a subsequent titular title in the Evolution series. Whilst the article does indeed suggest that this will be another creative management simulation game, it is entirely possible that the project will ditch it’s previous branding in lieu of whatever new branding the subsequent Jurassic sequel chooses to use. Reports suggest that the game launch is well on track, and that Frontier anticipate the sequel title to be made public in coming months.

Whilst this is exciting news, I have to admit I am conflicted! On the one hand, it is exciting to think about the potential developments which these games could see when developed purely for current generation hardware. There is a lot of potential to explore some of the tools seen in Frontier’s other games – like Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, but I also can’t help to feel like this is bittersweet considering the recent downturn in support for Jurassic World Evolution 2. The game has been lethargic in its approach to adding features which fans have requested – and feeling as though we won’t get those features until a third sequel certainly leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this. Whilst the people who work on these games put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into developing these games, it does feel like this has the potential to be more of a financially driven decision than a creative one. Yes, Frontier are a development studio who ultimately need to make money – but there could have easily been a live-service model implemented in Jurassic World Evolution 2 to sustain more of a community over the lifespan of the project. Ian Malcolm is famous for saying ‘Don’t worry, I’m not making the same mistakes again’, but unfortunately it seems like Frontier may have not quite learned from the outcry of more support after the release of Jurassic World Evolution.

This is of course incredibly subjective for all of us. I think for me, I need to see more of Jurassic World Evolution 3 (or whatever the next game is called!) and how it strives to differentiate itself from prior releases to make a decision on whether we really needed this sequel.

What are your thoughts? I’d love to read them in the comments down below! Stay tuned to The Jurassic Park Podcast for all the latest news on Jurassic World games from Frontier Developments.

"I have nothing that I may call my own.

Distant and dead are my loved ones, and I hear nothing more of them from any voice.

My business on earth is over. I set to work full of will; I bled over my labor, and made the world not a penny richer.

Ingloriously and alone I return, and wander through my fatherland that lies all around me like a garden of the dead, and perhaps awaiting me is the knife of the hunter, who holds us Greeks for his pleasure just as he does the game of the forest.

But you still shine, sun of the heavens! You still grow green, holy earth! Still the rivers rush into the sea, and shady trees rustle at midday. Spring’s song of bliss sings my mortal thoughts to sleep. The fullness of the all-living world nourishes and satiates my starving being with intoxication.

O blessed nature! I do not know what befalls me when I raise my eyes before your beauty, but all the pleasure of heaven is in the tears that I weep before you, the beloved before his beloved.

My whole being falls silent and hearkens when the tender surge of the air plays about my breast. Often, lost in the wide blue, I look up at the ether and into the holy sea, and I feel as if a kindred spirit opened its arms to me, as if the pain of solitude dissolved into the life of the divinity.

To be one with all – that is the life of the divinity, that is the heaven of man.

To be one with all that lives, to return in blessed self-oblivion into the All of nature, that is the summit of thoughts and joys, that is the holy mountain height, the place of eternal repose, where the midday loses its swelter and the thunder its voice and the boiling sea resembles the billowing field of grain.

To be one with all that lives! With these words virtue removes its wrathful armor, the spirit of man lays its scepter aside and all thoughts vanish before the image of the world’s eternal unity, just as the rules of the struggling artist vanish before his Urania; and iron fate abdicates its power, and death vanishes from the union of beings, and indivisibility and eternal youth bless and beautify the world.

I often stand at this height, my Bellarmin! but a moment of reflection hurls me down. I reflect and find myself as I was before, alone, with all the pains of mortality; and the asylum of my heart, the world’s eternal unity, is gone; nature closes her arms and I stand like a stranger before her and do not comprehend her.

O! had I never gone to your schools. Knowledge, which I pursued down into the shaft, and from which in my youthful folly I expected confirmation of my pure joy, has corrupted everything for me.

Among you I became so perfectly rational, learned so thoroughly to distinguish myself from what surrounds me that I am now isolated in the beautiful world, cast out of the garden of nature, where I grew and bloomed, and am drying up under the midday sun.

O man is a god when he dreams, a beggar when he thinks, and when enthusiasm is gone, he stands there like a wayward son whom the father has driven out of the house and regards the meager pennies that pity gave him for the journey."

Kaeleena sees her research with a near-religious devotion—disciplined yet driven by fervor. To many, the towering stacks of dense, academic books are nightmarish, but for her, it's pure delight. Immersing herself in these pages feels liberating. After delivering her lectures each day, she retreats to the quiet sanctuary of the library, remaining there until the doors close behind her. In these solitary hours, the library becomes her steadfast companion. Teaching neurosurgery in prestigious institutions across the globe often leaves her far from home. Tonight is no different. Lost in her reading, she barely notices the librarian's approach until his voice interrupts her thoughts. "The late hours of a lifetime wouldn’t be enough for all I need to learn," she begins, her voice soft, calm, it always has been. "But I have to try." Her eyes meet his, he is curious, she is too. They have never exchanged more words than niceties, he is quite handsome she thinks, in a timeless natural yet elegant way, with the suble silver of his hair and the calmness of his presence. How can she begin to explain the direction her research has taken? She is working on something unthinkable : how to transform humans into something beyond, by combining her knowledge of the human mind and the unlocking of matter manipulation from the depth of her secret laboratories : mutants. "My research..." she speaks, choosing her words carefully. "It’s been more for pleasure than anything else. I have a deep fascination with the human brain. Teaching it is a marvel in itself, but to me, there’s so much more than the science behind it." She leans back slightly, a smile forming at the corner of her lips. "It’s art—the design of it. Even with the grandest expertise, it’s impossible to fully grasp. It is like a canvas with endless interpretations. If I can’t speak to the painter, then I’ll spend my life trying to decipher the unseen. I have found fascinating papers lately, new ways of viewing the human mind, opening new doors." She pauses. "I could talk about it for hours but I wouldn’t want to bore you with such a specific passion." Her self-awareness sparks a playful glint in her eyes. "Not everyone shares my enthusiasm for the brain. Some of my students sit there, eyes wide open and emoty, I know they’re dead inside after the first thirty minutes. "Have you come to inform me it’s closing time already?"

[introloves]

I just want sweet and domestic meian to tell I’m his pretty wife and spoil me

daddy! meian + possessive! meian + mentions of breeding + housewife reader + meian lusting over his pretty wife + fingering + squirting + f! reader

he knows it’s something deep and primal in him- knows the claim he’s staked over your body and self is wrong, but when meian sees you walk around in pretty dresses- ones he picked out for you, cleaning, tidying up the house he worked so hard to buy for the two of you, he can’t simmer down the lust.

big hands grab at your waist, pushing you into his body, always catching you when you least expect it- you wouldn’t let him lay a hand on you otherwise, all under the guise of needing to get chores done. but now he’s pushed your body up against the hallway wall, face squishing atop it while you whine, shivering with the way his fingers trail down your soft body, warm to the touch, receptive to your big husband.

“pretty girl.” meian whispers, body bending down to nearly growl it into your ear- lust he’s tempered down thus far finally boiling over while he palms your dress up the curve of your waist, unsuspecting panties no match for big fingers when he hooks them into the fabric and pulls.

“should have you walk around without these on-“ he mumbles, sunken into his head while his hand runs over your cunt protectively- fingers curling up to play with your already drooling pussy, whole body jolting when his other arm braces around your middle, nearly tugging you up and off the floor.

“keep daddy real happy that way- so i can fill up my little wife all day long.”

words feel heavy against your skin, followed by sharp squelching with the way he impales thick digits inside, fighting against your closing legs, trying to keep yourself upright, clawing at the wall.

“yes daddy.” you answer back with just as much enthusiasm. pushing back against his body, seeking his cock but he doesn’t let you.

settles your wiggling body by pressing a thick thumb against your clit, straightening out your back while you arch helplessly- back onto him and then slumping forward onto the wall once more, muscles straining with the clench, whole lower body shaking thanks to every messy swipe, gliding over your swollen clit thanks to how easy he makes a mess of you.

“good girl.”

no matter how long he’s loved you, cared for you, fucks you silly, the praise still rings a note of pure ecstasy down your body and before you know it- you’re cumming all over vigorously pumping fingers, gasping with pouty lips still squished down against the wall, chanting out a repeated mess of, “daddy, daddy, daddy!”

meian responds with equal vigor, pushing past the squeeze of your cunt while you gush down his hand, shaking his whole arm back and forth- wanting to milk this sweet orgasm from your cunt the longest he can, feeling your whole body turn and wiggle due to his near mean actions, brutalizing your sweet little cunt by just his fingers.

you’re clawing at him by the time he stops, tears rolling down your face, looking down at the floor, a mess of cum rolling down your shaky legs and onto the floor, swallowing back sharp cries while he lets go of you, sliding his digits from your heat- humming in appreciation when he pulls his hand back and your cum is painted down his arm.

once more meian bends down, kissing the top of your heated head while popping messied fingers into his mouth, wolfishly peering down at you to take in each reaction.

you might think the way he hums, licks lewdly at your cum might be an exaggeration- but once’s he’s done, meian is on you once more, finally allowing the heavy and thick cock of your handsome husband nestle right between your ass.

“mm, my pretty wife’s got the sweetest pussy, don’t you?”

it’s all rhetorical. shoving away the sweats and underwear shielding his cock from you, driven by that same base need- the only thing on his mind is how cute you’d look, round with the baby he’s fucked into you- becoming more and more dependent on him, waiting for him to come and take care of his pretty, pregnant wife.

[terrence-silver]

How would Terry react if beloved was sick one day after eating some bad eggs and threw up on the Persian rug?

Inspired by the fact that I got sick the other day and wrote myself (and @atmostories) a funny little self-care fic on Discord. 🐔🥚🍳

---

On route 101, there's a farm just outside of Santa Monica. Terry Silver has a trip.

And it is a matter of zeal that takes him there --- a place he handpicked, personally, after much pondering, vetting and deliberation, having disqualified several other spots and smaller family establishments once it turned out they were inadequate to what he was looking for. For the particular stock he had in mind. For the quality of produce he needed. Could've hired a driver. Could've been chauffeured there. Could've even driven there himself, but no, it is a helicopter or nothing at all that has him lowered out into the open plain field just outside the wide, spacious fencing enclosing around the homestead. His people let these people know he was coming, announcing his presence in advance purely so he'd ensure they were present to negotiate and do honest business with him personally. He buttons his corporate blazer up as he looks around, though the gold rimmed shades of his glasses, concealing the intent his gaze as he steps off the helicopter, polished leather shoes landing in a grassy patch of dirt, a small measure of discontentment interrupted by the elderly couple, stocky and homely, ironically seeming like they could be his own age even though they appeared older, peer at him huddled near the front gate, waiting to approach. Barbara and Herbert. He looked into their files. They seemed like they belonged in a rustic Norman Rockwell painting. The five stars they had on Yelp for admirable hospitality and favorably reviewed products as only a bonus.

Good.

-"Mr. Silver!"- The husband steps forth first with an air of hospitality laced with nervousness.

Holding unto his cap to avoid it being blown off of his head by the intensity of the spinning propellers overhead. They shake hands. Adequate squeeze. Terry Silver has to quirk up his mouth into a smile. He's merciful. He tries not to apply too much strength seeing as how the guy already seemed daunted enough by the mode of transportation he arrived in. It was only the most practical way to get here so quickly. And he needed to get here extra quick. -"How nice of you to visit us on such a short notice! We've got what you ordered."- The man fidgets with a polite, albeit awkward smile and his wife nods in approval as they lead the way forward, directing him, kindly, not to step here and there, to avoid the mud. -"I've seen my share of mud."- He reassures them, somewhat more cryptically than he would've liked, slipping off his shades to look at them and really take them in, passing through the gate and the decorative style wooden arch with a sign that promptly said 'Barb and Herb's Fresh Farm Eggs!'. Well now. -"Are they as fresh as the advertising claims?"- He has to ask, pointing a bejeweled hand at the welcoming plaque, making a joke that was anything but. Terry really needed to know with certainty, otherwise he wouldn't waste his time with this shit when he could import, from literally anywhere in the world.

-"Fresher, sir!"- The man reassures eagerly, rubbing his hands together, red in the face with excitement and work. -"For all I mind, you can watch the hen pop them out and take them home still warm!"-

-"Herb."- His wife chastises him softly, quenching his abundance of enthusiasm, it appears, lest he oversteps a certain boundary of comfort with Terry, not realizing how amused he was with all of this as he's led through fenced off portions housing cows, sheep and as marketing promised; chickens galore. Workers shoveling and feeding the animals hay looking up from their duties to inspect the newcomer from afar. One of them even slips out his phone to snap a photo, promptly frightened back into place by one of the managers who whispers something discreet into his ears. Terry didn't mind being recognized either, in fact, he relished in it quietly. For once, he actually wasn't doing anything illicit. Being immortalized here, for all places, could only add to his image, not subtract from it. He was thinking well ahead. -"No, that is quite alright."- Terry interjects with the wife softly, amused, who appeared like she was continuously trying not to look at him like he was an alien from another planet, only her kindness holding her back from it, a sentiment that Terry appreciated. -"I actually wouldn't mind buying them right from the source."- He tries not to sound hyperintense about it, but he is intense about it as a barn comes into sight; newly built. Fresh paint. A facility in its own right. Neon, white bright lights emanating from inside, alongside the cacophony of clucking and thousands of hens, neatly categorized, each into it's fenced off portion. It is warm enough inside for Terry tilt his head, cracking his neck.

Game on.

-"Mr. Anderson."- He almost sounds like a Matrix villain as he utters the farmer's surname, standing speculative at the doorway of the state of the art yard barn. He realizes that. Even as the man was so enthusiastic to show him around immediately, wife in tow. -"Who would you say is your champion among these?"- Terry inquires speculatively, in vague terms, lifting his hand to discreetly, in circularly elegant motions wave at the scene, looking around, twirling his pinkie ring, unsure how to else to phrase 'So, which hen among all of these has the eggs of the most favorably high quality worthy of my home's plate?' Understanding, once more, that he was sounding oddly like a Sensei picking a prize fighter for the ring and the mat, the professional bleeding into the private, luckily, the guy understands his intent. Funny that. Funny how they weren't quite so different, ironically. Appearantly, the man won the annual competition for 'The Best Chicken of the Valley' five times in a row, accolades and all. Herbert Anderson knew a thing or two about champions and victory too. That's why Terry Silver picked him, precisely, out of every home grown farmer in a hundred miles vicinity. Not that distance would ever stop Terry. He'd go to the ends of the world. Get on a jet. An airplane. On an overseas cruiser. Extreme circumstances, turns out, required extreme measures. Yet, it was preferable if he had his product now, today, as late as this very evening, making travelling long distances, or having someone travel it for him the less favorable option, for once.

Wherever it took, to buy some eggs. Literally whatever, no matter how…absurd.

-"Noah! Get Helga!"- The old farmer alerts one of his workers manning the chicken coops. And the boy is immediately underway, practically running, down the elaborate, colossal hangar. They follow suit, the three of them, through the expansive maze of feathered birds. There she is, finally; the titular, plump, well-fed Helga. In an accommodation entirely of her own. Coop 787900. A highlighted notice next to her coop, listing all the prizes and medals she's won. The animal was appearantly a more accomplished chicken than most fighters were fighters.

-"She's a fine, pedigreed Buff Orpington, isn't she? One of a kind."-

Herbert beams up at Terry, talking about her like he was talking about a superior, keeping a respectful distance from Helga, tuckered into her nest made out of clean, shiny straw, all puffed and puckered. Terry could swear that that chicken looked at him in a challenging manner he could appreciate. -"And her eggs are as pale as an angel's feather from the outside, and as yellow as a burning ember from the inside."- Her owner describes, but no, Terry learned a long time ago, that whenever you intended to invest in a product, you'd have to sample it first. Be it a car, coke or a suit. Pale as an angel's feather, though? Yellow as a burning ember? Waxing poetically, surely, but that marketing tactic description sounded apt to what he was searching. -"How about taste?"- He inquires just that, maintaining firm eye contact with the hen. He wouldn't leave here until the bird's eggs were to his specific liking, and no, he couldn't leave the choice up to his some random intern, secretary, or chef's assistant he'd send over here in his stead. He had to make the decision. Only he. And immediately, the famer perches up, waving the assistant over, who, as if this was somehow anticipated was by Terry's side, opening and showcasing an antiseptic, clinically neat, small crate labeled 'Helga'. Eggs inside pale, still warm, demonstrating their shape, consistency, coloring and texture. Within another second, the boy rushes over to what seemed like a lab table in the middle of the barn, and there amidst of it, bottles, flasks, containers and a…stove. He was frying an egg, in front of him, in the flesh, in a white pan, making a showcasing in the flesh. These guys really wanted to make a buck badly, huh? Were willing to put up a whole elaborate show for it too. Not bad at all. Men of business, truly. Within less than a minute, it served and handed to Terry for a test. -"You be the judge of that."-

The silent assistant holds the plate and the farmer encourages. Fork in hand, Terry tries. The egg yolk golden covered with a thin crust that breaks, leaking a solidified liquid.

Rich.

Savory.

It's whites chewy, appropriately balanced and salty. Rushing down his tongue like an elixir, taking only a couple of mouthfuls for him to feel sated. Terry closes his eyes for a second, measuring the taste like it was a fine, rare Whiskey. Deciding whether he approved of it or not, as everyone watched him, bated breaths. He did want to torture them a little, admittedly.

-"What do you need the eggs for anyway?"- A voice interrupts his careful, slightly sadistic, deliberately drawn out reverie of anticipation and Terry can't help but take a sharp intake of breath he immediately attempts masking. The young farmhand with somewhat vexed eyes. Ah, yes. Impertinent youth. Didn't realize the gravitas of all of this. -"Noah! Don't be inappropriate with the gentleman! Mr. Silver is a very important guest and we're honored for him to test our product!"- The wife shoots in, feeling like she has to de-escalate. Feeling she might lose a customer over this. She wouldn't. Terry Silver's already made his decision. He just enjoyed dragging things out to poke at people a little. Gage their reactions. Watch them squirm in an elaborate 'Will we or won't we'. -"No, that's quite alright."- He manages a chuckle, sounding low and hushed, even to his own ears, taking out his silken monogrammed handkerchief to wipe his mouth once nobody offers him one (Takes everything within him to forgive that misstep, reminding himself not everyone was raised a Silver) and hand the boy back the plate, fork and all. -"You see,"- Terry waves his hand in vague circles with a smile, trying to explain himself. -"I have someone back home who recently got sick off one of these."- He begins, nose pointing at the container of eggs on the clinically clean working surface, trying not to crinkle his nostrils too much, lest it seems like he actually feels a certain distaste towards eggs as a concept starting as of yesterday. -"And in maintaining a fulfilling diet, I need to her to intake an appropriate amount of vitamin B2, B12 and Selenium."- Terry reaches out, plucking one of Helga's prized eggs out of it's special box, holding it up for emphasis. Investigating it. Not a single blemish. Immaculately pristine crust. Admirable shape. Good curvature. Polished. It even smelled nice. Healthy.

Perfect.

-"From the right source, of course. Only the best."- He grins into his chin at his hosts. Throwing them crumbs of flattery.

-"And yours, of course, I found, is the best. Homegrown too."- He brightens up, spreading his arms, feeling a bit like a TV-evangelist about to sell the masses snake poison. Herbert Anderson has to smile along with him, perking up. Turns out, talking about investing into local economy and local entrepreneurs always served to oil up people's gears the right way, especially when dealing with these working class types hungry for acknowledgement amidst a budding, competitive market. Practically starved for it. -"Why, sir, I'm so happy that…"- But, no, Terry hasn't the time for pleasant small talk and empty exchanges --- not now when he's hit a bingo. You vomited all over the Persian Carpet last night as was due courtesy thanks to the rare eggs Rene prepared and now, Terry was on the hunt to fix the quality of his own kitchen's products. Feed you better than before. Take care of you. Take care of you in every way conceivable, with any resource he had. Nothing was too stupid or too much. -"I'm buying the eggs."- He pushes in, stepping forward, towards the farmer, looming over him. -"And I'm buying Helga too."- He adds, slowly, and this time, he finds Barbara crossing her arms over her chest and the farm boy looking perplexed. Herbert's color drains from his sun-kissed face. He doesn't have time to formulate words. His wife doesn't have the time to nag either. Terry doesn't let them. -"Of course, I'll pay you handsomely. More than anyone else ever will. You'll find she'll have a good home with me at Sierra retreat. You'll find I have an appreciation for champions."- Terry amps up the heat, flaunting his postal code --- one of several --- in case it wasn't obvious enough by the helicopter, his suit and the secretary that contacted Herbert Anderson of Herb and Barb's Fresh Farm Eggs that Terry Silver wasn't coming here on a budget. -"A champion like that,"- He clicks his tongue, pointing at Helga clucking from her coop. -"Deserves to live comfortably."-

Spotting hesitation in the couple's collective expressions, he reaches inside his blazer.

-"Cash or card?"- He suggests, raised chin, opening his ultra slim, black crocodile Stefano Ricci wallet purely so they'd spot the vague hint of green inside. They immediately relent. Just as he thought --- their disposition visibly changing, body languages shifting. Money talks, even though these people were far from economically impaired. They seemed to be doing good for themselves out here. -"What do you need Helga for, if I can ask. I mean, sir, I'd feel awfully sorry if she was bound for a Sunday roast, if you know what I mean. I groomed her from an incubator egg."- There's something pathetic about Herbert's pleading and prolonging, stretching out these negotiations for far longer than Terry intended them go on, but he found he couldn't be as irritated as he wished to be, coming prepared to do business however long it took. Something peculiarly peculiar about a man's devotion to his bird, paired with his fear that Terry might order his cooks to prepare eggs and meat tonight. Oh, but the loyalty of all of this. It was funny. Maybe even touching. -"I want my wife to have a steady income of high quality eggs back home, which Helga can provide."- Terry confesses, bluntly and they all seem…surprised. Like it wasn't the answer they expected to hear out of him. They undoubtedly supposed the man from LA needed a chicken to devise an anti-aging crème concocted from its boiled liver or whatever new age bullshit these people thought of him, but no, his response has them lost. So, he briefly clarifies, saying nothing but the truth. When you got sick, briefly, it is like Terry's gotten sick with worry too, infected by it all, against all better judgement, control and logic, imaging you dying way before your time, even though he knew how ridiculous and downright mad the notion was. He couldn't help but think about you lurching over and heaving your own heart out. Leaving him. Being stolen from him over another stupid mistake that was his fault. He was so afraid.

Haunted over everything, every mundane nonsense, ever since he's met you.

-"I am very meticulous about what she puts in her mouth."-

Barbara Anderson's expression softens and only then does Terry know this is a done deal.

He's won.

On the ride back home, Terry has Helga sitting in his lap. Surrounded by a collection of accolades fastened and strapped into place, to avoid them accidentally thumbing 12.000 above ground, into the nearby fields, golden trophies sliding into the sliding chopper door. Last thing he needed was being responsible for the death or severe injury of some passerby, fisherman or hikers smacked square across the scalp with a 'California's Prize Hen Queen of 2018' award conveniently shaped like a golden chicken perched up proudly on one foot, bearing a crown --- he has to chuckle at that one. He understood how downright absurd this was. Love and the things one did because of it, perhaps, had inherently absurd elements. Devotion too.

A container of eggs neatly airlocked, by his side --- the bird takes to helicopter flying surprisingly well.

The pilot has him face to face with the skyline of Los Angeles well within the hour, the veil of clouds and smog clearing to reveal the network of streets, houses and buildings down below as his hand smooths the bird's golden feathers --- he could be home with you and you wouldn't even wake yet from him instructing --- no --- ordering you to rest and stay put. You would have your allotted meal, all the food groups involved, all the medications, vitamins and proteins due on your plate. All greenery he had ordered over to the mansion, the tender meat prepared by a Michelin star chef, cheeses imported over from France --- an intensity amplified by the fact you landed yourself with something uncontrollably unexpected; food poisoning. The sole bad egg that, for some reason, didn't agree with you. Even the doctor he flew in for a mandatory check up said you were entirely fine, but he wouldn't leave it at that. He couldn't. He flew in another one, and he just about said the same thing and it is like these payroll medical practitioners were out to deliberately rile him and prod at his thinning patience. He wasn't young anymore. He was an old man not to be trifled with. Truth was, Terry was on a tirade as of late, going to great lengths to ensure your biorhythm was running to perfection and that you were fed the way he felt you deserved to be fed. Clothed. Bathed. Taken care of. These eggs, well, happened to be the last agenda on his scheduled list. Now, he had the one producing it too. Helga clucks as he pets her. He was more prone to snakes, Anacondas, Boas and Cobras himself, but a domesticated bird would do, even though his father always tended to say a chicken was a poor man's dish, refusing to ever eat the damn thing and anything lower than a Bourbon Red Heritage Turkey. Yet, Terry would have a coop erected for her. Acquire a worthy Rooster. Hire a couple of workers to tend to her. Manage her. -"Helga," - Terry purrs at his newly acquired friend.

-"You'll serve my love very well, won't you?"- That evening, Rene fries you and him a pair of eggs each and you dine heartily, post-recovery. After some micromanaged consideration that you handled the meal favorably, Terry is pleased with his purchased investment. Come morning, seated on the leather arm chair in the lobby, he brings in Helga from the coop to pet her as a reward for a finely provided service.
