Btw when I was a teen obssessed with vampires I named my tits Louis and Lestat.
The left one's Louis, since that's the one that hurts when I'm ovulating.

Well since you mention valentine's professions of love, I think it wouldn't be right if I didn't take this chance to extoll the virtues of moths. Firstly, they're adorable. Some of them are really fuzzy and have cute antennae. The rosy maple moth and the common silk moth are both very very cute. Secondly, (as this blog proves again and again) there are SO MANY of them in such a huge variety that you're bound to come across one that tickles your fancy! Take the Atlas Moth for example! It's got a wing span of nearly 25cm! That's like the size of a small bird! (You have no idea how much I want to pet a large moth species. Not the caterpillars though. Never touch random caterpillars. In fact, some moth caterpillars have hairs and stuff that you definitely do not want to touch due to them being poisonous.) Thirdly, moths are culturally and historically important! Silk has been a major industry for centuries upon centuries. The techniques of silk production and the actual moths themselves are the subject of myths in various cultures. They were once so jealously and secretively guarded that there are legends of how they came to be spread to different parts of Asia. I cannot stress how big of a deal silk was throughout the history of the world and how the trade of silk influenced international relations for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Oh and the thing is, common silk moths aren't the only silk-producing moth! There are several moths in the Saturniidae family that make cocoons of silk which are also used in modern, commercial silk production -- some of which don't result in the death of the chrysalid.
Look, I know whatever string of nucleotides this ramble produces will not end up matching the genetic sequence of a moth, because that's just how these things work but... I hope that people will look upon all the moths that do show up going forth with a fond and grateful eye because moths are truly magnificent creatures. Happy Valentine's Day!

🖊️ +HaziiinnnnnnnAaaaaa??!!?!
I went to your blog and looked her up to see if anybody else beat me to her before realizing that you suggested her in the tags, haha
HAZINA!! hmm.. I’ve honestly talked about most of whatever lore/story I have for her, but since the prompt said I get to gush about the oc, here’s everything (or, most of it) >:]
a couple of these have their own posts so incase anybody wants to find those, you can search for em in my hazina tag or baobabfruit tag (both tags are on this post too).
hazina is an absolute gremlin of a baby. she’s extremely mischievous and causes all three of her parents LOTS of panic every now and then. one moment she’s right with them, and the next moment she’s suddenly miles away. her favourite game is hide and seek and to the misfortune of bunga, ono and beshte, she’s REALLY good at hiding. they’ve spent hours and hours searching for her with an entire search group that consists of the guard and the night pride :’). speaking of the night pride, I’m not sure if I’m making the guard (or at least everybody except kion) stay at the tree of life with kion or stay in the pridelands, but I’ll explain how hazina comes to be in both cases. in both routes, bunga is the one who finds hazina and fosters her along with baobabfruit. in the tree of life route, the rest of the guard have come to stay at the tree of life with kion though they’re not the night pride. in the pridelands route, the guard decide to stay in the pridelands. either way, both routes involve the guard more or less ‘retiring’, or something. idk yet tbh. ANYWAY back to hazina!
hazina calls her parents each by different names. for her, bunga is papa, beshte is baba (swahili for dad/papa), and ono is tata (bemba for dad/papa). I don’t have much of an explanation for this in the canon universe but in my human au the explanation I have is that these are based on where baobabfruit come from!
fuli, kion, anga and makini all adore hazina. fuli is the fun aunt and is always encouraging hazina to push past her limits and be the best at what she does. hazina can never be as fast as fuli, but still loves running across the savannah with her. fuli was also the primary caretaker whenever baobabfruit couldn’t be, since kion didn’t know anything about kids and neither did anga or makini (yes I hc fuli to have some knowledge on how to deal with kids and if I’m not wrong this is smth that happens with real life female cheetahs too? not sure). kion at first was really awkward with hazina but came to adore her. you’ll find him being suuuper gentle and soft with her, gently pawing and playing with her. you’ll find the two of them cuddling and napping with each other if they’ve been left alone for some time. as for anga, she didn’t expect hazina to like her but hazina always manages to surprise everybody and anybody. of course, she was definitely scared of her at first because she thought anga would eat her, but then later when anga started to purposefully put distance between the two of them she started missing her presence until one day she clung to anga’s claws, begging her to not go and stay for some more time. makini is by far the most excited about hazina. she spoils her alllll the time and loves doing fun, girly type of things with hazina. hazina loves watching her aunt makini paint especially, and could spend hours just watching her. makini doesn’t even mind when hazina tries to join in and in the end ends up creating a mess. she loves her niece <3.
bunga is the closest to hazina. after all, he was the one who found her in the first place! just something about seeing hazina all alone, left by her parents to fend for herself, triggered something inside of bunga. he knew he couldn’t leave her alone. so, much to beshte and ono’s surprise, he comes home proposing to take care of this baby bat eared fox temporarily (as you can guess, the ‘temporarily’ part doesnt stay in the end lol). as bunga spent more and more time with hazina, getting closer and closer to her, he started realising how their relationship was almost something like.. a father and a child’s. a lot of the moms whose babies bunga would babysit (eg: muhimu and hamu) would even point out how hazina looks like she might be bunga’s kid despite the obvious difference in species. eventually, when baobabfruit actually start to consider that.. maybe hazina won’t be a temporary change, bunga starts to freak out. he panics and is terrified of being a bad father. sure, he’s been doing fine so far but will that change once hazina is ACTUALLY his?? he’s hellbent on trying to raise her the way timon and pumbaa raised him, stressing himself out until beshte and ono and him finally have a talk. in the end, he does okay. he does amazing, in fact. he’s so glad he decided to take hazina in that day, because of how happy he is now, taking care of this rascal— his rascal.
ono is a motherhen through and through. he will worry about hazina’s health all the time and go to great lengths to babyproof (kitproof?) bunga’s various games for hazina. also, fun fact! hazina’s first word was repeating something ono said :D. ono was just mindlessly rambling about some topics he’s interested in while taking care of hazina, when suddenly hazina starts blurbing and before ono knows it she just said her first word (not sure what it is Yet). while hazina’s small enough, ono likes to carry her on his back and fly around with her. of course, this can be dangerous sometimes, due to which ono has now asked anga to accompany him on these flights incase hazina falls. bunga calls him out for childproofing his games when he’s the one taking hazina several feet off the ground lol. although this is definitely a shared activity of the entire family, hazina really likes hunting for termites with ono. she doesn’t mind doing it with bunga or beshte, but a lot of times what happens is that bunga digs up bugs and insects hazina has ZERO taste for, and beshte.. doesnt eat insects, so he’s mostly clueless. ono on the other hand knows enough about hazina (and bat eared foxes in general) that he’s able to find just the right kinds of insects for her to eat. also the fact that he more or less eats the same kind definitely helps. as a kit hazina’s favourite thing to do was listen to her tata ramble on and on about the hundreds of things he knows. and he knows a LOT. often ono’s rambling would be the only thing to quiet hazina down; she’d cry for hours and hours begging for her tata and once ono finally came she’d ask him for a story (to her his ramblings were stories) and he’d start to talk about several different things. its in this way that hazina ends up knowing a lot about the environment she lives in. apart from the general facts and knowledge, ono would also come up with LOADS of stories and fairytales to tell hazina. when it comes to being a parent, ono never expected himself to be a great one. I mean, he got easily annoyed when taking care of ona and would often get impatient with babies and their incessant need to put thenselves in harm’s way. when it comes to hazina, however, ono finds he doesn’t mind that worry. of course, a lot of times it’s overwhelming and can drain him, but at the end of the day he knows it’s because he loves hazina. and how couldn’t he?
beshte is the best father you could ever ask for. he loves hazina to bits and is the #1 victim of hazina’s puppy eyes whenever she wants something she shouldn’t be having. when bunga first found hazina and decided he would take care of her, and when beshte found him with hazina, he immediately was able to convince beshte of his plan. I mean, cmon, who could deny an adorable kit like that? so when ono finds out his boyfriends have decided to take care of this random animal they found, it takes him a LONG time to finally come around to the idea. beshte was the first one to start thinking about.. actually keeping hazina. by this time they’ve settled into a sort of rhythm with the kit, and as he’s just reflecting on it, he thinks about how it’d be like to have a kid of their own— only to realise hazina is already the closest thing to that. he’s at first hesitant, because logically it would be impossible for the three of them, already different species, to take care of yet another animal whose not like any of them. but, he thinks, they’ve been doing well so far, and if this is something they would truly want, beshte knows that they’d all go to any lengths to make it possible. he loves the kid. he loves the kid like his own, and that’s what makes him finally bring it up to the other two. his relationship with hazina is as sweet as it can get— he’s the doting father, the one who’d do anything for her, and always cares for her. hazina loves her baba, and thinks there’s no one else in the world like him. beshte is the reason for hazina’s friendly nature— as a kid, he’d carry her on his back and take her around to the tree of life or the pridelands, basically wherever they may be. when they’d come across someone beshte knows (which would happen almost every second), beshte introduces hazina to them and its in this way that hazina becomes popular with the animals. hazina doesn’t even realise how many people have known her since she was a kit until her dads take her to gatherings and random animals are coming up to her like “oh you’ve grown so much, I remember when you were just a kit!” and stuff like that. beshte is also the most empathetic and sympathetic towards hazina. there comes a lot of times when hazina will be in disagreement with her dads and beshte will always be the one to try and see it from her point of view. hazina loves cuddling with beshte because he is absolute teddy bear material. I mean have you seen him. among the many other things that make hazina fall asleep, cuddling up to beshte and knowing the safety and warmth that lies in just being with her baba is one of them. beshte has always been a source of comfort, safety, and love for hazina. bunga and ono are the same but it’s from beshte that hazina feels these he most. what can she say, that’s her baba after all :]
hazina has a bunch of sibling figures, too! I’m a sucker for sibling dynamics so immediately came up with some, lol. if I go with the guard-stays-at-tree-of-life route, hazina has @peacefulemoyearnings ‘s ocs sauti and kimya for sibling figures. when the family visit the outlands, hazina gets along super well with wema and tunu who, by that time, are older than her but still play with her. they’re.. maybe the age kion was when he started the lion guard. wema and tunu are more like fun cousin figures for hazina. they’ll affectionately bully her, playfight with her, but when push comes to shove they will 100% take care of her and fight anybody who hurts her. as for her relationship with sauti and kimya, the three of them were bound to be friends. after all, their parents were and still are best friends too x]. hazina and sauti get along the best, and sauti’s rambunctious nature definitely rubs off on hazina. sauti spends a lot of time with bunga and beshte, so I like to imagine that sauti would take part in the games bunga invents for hazina. when beshte takes hazina around the tree of life (something he does in the pridelands and the outlands, too) he lets sauti join too! if my memory serves me correct, kimya’s closer to ono and so I can see her and hazina listening to ono ramble. kimya would also definitely startle hazina on accident or on purpose a lot of times x].
another sibling-type of dynamic I have for hazina is with mtoto and ona! they’re both her unofficial siblings. when mtoto and ona heard about how baobabfruit have a kid now, they were beyond excited. the both of them begged their parents to go and meet bunga, beshte and ono, till their parents finally told them that they didn’t have to worry because they’d all meet hazina in her union with baobabfruit on pride rock x]. mtoto and ona were always with baby/kit hazina. mtoto would carry her on his back while ona flew close by, and they’d take her around the entiiiire pridelands, telling her all about the area and even telling her all the stories of kion’s guard. hazina loves their company, and when away from them can be heard crying for ‘toto’ and ‘ouh-ah’ (mtoto and ona).
as for her grandparents, they all adore her. timon and pumbaa especially. I made a joke about how they both thought the kid was gonna be biological and they were all like “bunga you didnt tell us your partners are transfem” but idk if I’ll let that remain, lol. but yea whenever baobabfruit are planning visit timon and pumbaa they prepare a whole termite feast for hazina and she loves it <3. she’s learned how to be mischievous AND not get in trouble for it from the both of them. they continuously spoil her to the point that bunga, the usually lenient one, will tell them to not do so only for timon and pumbaa to respond with a “you’re being too harsh on hazina >:(“ /silly, pos. as for basi, hazina was originally scared of him but grew to like him immensely. he’s always kind and gentle, and his deep, earthy voice reminds hazina of her baba. kulinda also acts as a grandmother figure for hazina since I hc she becomes an aunt/mother figure for ono after ono and the egg, though unfortunately I haven’t thought of how her dynamic with ‘zina would be yet :’).
there’s… SO much more I want to write, but this is already getting long enough as it is :’) please please feel free to ask me more about hazina I love talking about her so so much and have so much about her that I haven’t shared on tumblr yet (yes, there’s more than this post haha). thank you dearly for sending me this ask sam!!! I don’t think we were mutuals when I first introduced hazina, so I hope I could get you interested in her and her story :3 I hope to release a fic or two about her and baobabfruit someday, buuut until then have my long ass rambles and word vomits lol.

REWRITE THE STARS
Masterlist
Tumblr media
BALLERINA TATTER! x RICH OC!
OC: Juliana Choi
Summary: After ending her secret relationship with Taeyoung, Juliana attends the Giselle ballet in which her ex stars, without knowing that it is possibly the last time she will see her.
Warning: angst, bad English, exes to…
˗ ˏ ˋ ♡ ˎˊ ˗
Juliana Velez grew up as a child who lost everything. At the young age of five, her father died, and the following year, her mother remarried a man who took them to live on the other side of the world, far from home. She lost her home, her family, and her last name when her mother's new husband legally adopted her at the age of six, becoming Juliana Choi. There was nothing that really belonged to her, not even her life or her decisions. She grew up studying what her mother wanted, what she commanded, and what she thought was best.
Juliana was barely six years old when her mother decided that she would take ballet lessons. Even though the girl had no interest in dancing, Victoria insisted. Much to her dismay, Juliana traded her afternoons of writing with Professor Park for long, boring ballet classes.
The first day at the ballet academy was chaotic; her teacher was quite old and strict and did not hesitate to whipped her students legs with a ruler that she always carried in her hands. She hated it. Juliana was always sure that she detested ballet; however, when four years later an eight-year-old girl with beautiful eyes appeared in her classes, she began to like it a little.
Kim Taeyoung was a child prodigy in ballet; every time teacher Jung asked her a question or addressed her, the girl raised her head proudly and obeyed her orders. Juliana loved it because she had never met before someone as disciplined and consistent as she was in writing. The girl showed an innate talent for ballet, and in a short time she became the favorite of Mrs. Jung and also of the parents, including Juliana's. At every recital, the girl would get at least one solo, and every time she went on stage, Juliana felt that she hated to dance ballet but loved to watch Taeyoung dance, even though she didn't say so.
But they were not close at first, and it was not until Juliana turned fifteen that things changed, and the two teenagers became inseparable after playing the black swan and the white swan in a play that made them quite popular among the students of the National Ballet Academy. However, their separation was imminent when, two years later, Victoria finally made the decision that Juliana should start focusing on her real studies as heiress to half of her husband's emporium. They remained friends, though the closest of friends.
But one night, on Juliana's twenty-first birthday, things changed.
“Is it weird that I feel like kissing you right now? ” Taeyoung's voice came out in a whisper and was barely understandable to Juliana. The two of them are on Jul's bed, quite dizzy because, in the middle of the party that Juliana's mother organized, they sneaked into the wine room of the older girl's stepfather. “I don't think I should have drunk so much wine.”
“I don't think it's weird because I want to do it  too." Juliana took a long breath because, finally, after many years, she could finally express what she felt. “But I don't know if it's the right thing to do, Tata. I don't even think it was right to let you drink alcohol without being of legal age to do it in the first place.”
“Is there ever a time when you stop thinking about doing the right thing?” Tatter reached out and grabbed Juliana's hand and pulled it to her chest, where the girl could feel Taeyoung's heart beating excitedly. “Sometimes you should follow what your heart is trying to explain to you.”
“And what is yours trying to explain?”
“That I like you," the words came out of Taeyoung's mouth without shyness, and Juliana felt her heart start to beat much faster than before. “Bada said that if your heart beats fast when you are with someone, then it means something.”
“So you think you like me because Bada said so? ”She tried to question the girl. “Your heart beats fast every time you dance.”
“And I love to dance. Then that only confirms my theory.”
Juliana sketched a soft smile, not knowing exactly what she should do next. Taeyoung stared at her with a peculiar gleam in her eyes, still holding Juls' hand against her chest, while thinking that it's time for the older one to take the next step because she already did enough that night. For a long time, they have carried that rare relationship between friends and something more, where there were more than friendly frictions, furtive glances that meant something more, and hidden feelings.
“I hate you, Tata" Juliana said softly, leaning back on her elbow quickly and then pressing her lips against Taeyoung's without hesitation.
At first, neither of them moved; both were anxious and a little shy. Although it wasn't the first kiss for either of them, it was the first time they felt so many emotions with a simple kiss. Taeyoung parted her lips and was the first to move her mouth, catching Juliana's lower lip, who is still a little uncomfortable, not knowing what to do. Juliana's hand on Taeyoung's chest is no longer just there; it is now squeezing her pajama shirt tightly. In an attempt to tell her that everything was okay, Taeyoung gently stroked her knuckles. Then Juliana managed to let go, and the kiss became mutual, soft, and intoxicating.
They both know they have a lot to lose because Juliana has a life grounded in her family's customs and her mother already has her life planned, and Taeyoung doesn't even appear as a friend. But still, once they let the feelings come out, they decided that it might be worth a try and that they were going to enjoy it for as long as it lasted.
“Tell me you're not going to forget this tomorrow when we wake up." Taeyoung mumbled against Juliana's mouth “I don't want to forget it.”
“I won't, Tata.”
˗ ˏ ˋ ♡ ˎˊ ˗
Three years later, Taeyoung and Juliana are in the same place, but the situation is totally different. They are not on the older girl's bed sharing their first kiss and with emotions running high; instead, Juliana is standing in front of the window of her room with her arms crossed and her chin trembling from the tears she is trying to hold back. Taeyoung is sitting in the middle of the bed, confused by Juliana's elusive attitude towards her since a week ago.
“Why did you call me so suddenly?” Taeyoung asked after a long silence that made her very nervous. “My practice for Giselle starts in two hours, and the academy is not close…”
“There's something we should talk about, Tatter" Juliana interrupted ignoring the fact that Taeyoung tensed up when she heard her say the nickname she never used with her unless a fight was about to break out.
“You never call me Tatter” the girl stood up and walked slowly towards Juliana. “You can tell me whatever you want, Juls. I don't know what happened these days, but it doesn't matter. If there's something that's bothering you, then we can talk about it, and we'll work it out.”
Taeyoung's words hit deep inside Juliana; unintentionally, her eyes started to fill up with tears that she tried to hold back but couldn't. She wished they could actually talk and solve what was bothering her, but it was impossible because that discomfort had a name, and that was Victoria Choi. Her mother. The person who had discovered them a week ago among the rose bushes in the garden while they were sharing a moment alone had nothing wrong with it, but in the woman's eyes, it had been enough to understand the unlabeled relationship her daughter had with her best friend.
That same night, Victoria decided to confront her eldest daughter about the affair, and even if Juliana tried to deny it at first, she ended up confessing everything to her mother, with the slightest hope that she would understand. But it was quite the opposite, because the woman simply warned her that she would end Taeyoung's career if she did not stay away. And even though her mother didn't have a single piece in her favor to ruin Taeyoung, Eunwon, her stepfather, did.
“Juls…” she tried to speak again, but Juliana turned away with a wet face before she could say anything. “Why are you crying?”
“My mother knows, Tata” she finally muttered with a frown and shining eyes. ”It's over, Taeyoung, I'm sorry.”
“What do you mean it's over?” Tatter felt her hands shaking, and her heart began to pound harder against her chest. “Did you talk to her? You have to explain to her; maybe if I talk to her, then she'll understand" she mumbled, waving his hands under Juliana's bright gaze.
“There's nothing you can tell her to change her mind" Juliana denied, lifting her shoulders. “I've tried everything, and there's nothing we can do.”
“No, there must be something Juliana" she insisted. "This is yours and mine; no one can decide about our feelings or even less about the relationship we have." Suddenly, Taeyoung's eyes started to fill with tears too, but she struggled to hold them back as she tried to find a solution. "Juliana, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to do anything about this?”
“I don't know Taeyoung.”
“What do you mean you don't know?” Taeyoung became desperate when she sees the calm in Juliana's eyes, the girl doesn't answer her question, and then fury invades her body. “Are you telling me that you're going to let your mother define the future of our relationship?” She mutters in disbelief and turns around to turn her back to Juliana in an attempt to prevent her from seeing how disappointed she is.
“It's my mother Taeyoung" Juliana's voice sounds so calm that Tatter's skin crawls. But in reality in her heart she always knew that her relationship with Juliana was not going to last, because at any moment her mother would tell her what to do and Juliana would follow her without hesitation. “You think it's easy Tata, but it's not just my mom, what will we do when everyone ends up realizing it? Your career would be over along with my family, and I can't ruin us for this.”
“So that's it? You're so afraid of facing your family and the world that you find it easier to throw away everything we are” Taeyoung says with a lump in her throat. “We could leave here, get away from what your mother expects you to be, and I could make my career somewhere else. We can rewrite our history, but you're such a coward, you won't do it. You prefer to lose me”
“I’d lose you either way Tata. Everything you say feels impossible.”
Taeyoung bites his tongue and clenches her jaw as hard as she can. She wants to keep talking, to repeat again to Juliana that other people and her family don't matter, but she knows that for the girl, there is no one more important than her mother. Even though the woman won't even appreciate her. Without saying anything, Tatter closes her eyes, taking a long breath. Juliana knows that this is the end of everything, even though she doesn't want to admit it.
“Do you even care about this, Juliana?” The question takes the girl by surprise, and then she hesitates. “Because I'm sure that if you cared, you would try to find a way to solve this. But then you come and talk to me about my career and what people will think when they find out. Shouldn't you have thought about that three years ago? But of course, it's because you never thought this was serious, you knew from the beginning that as soon as your family found out, you were just going to leave me with some stupid excuse. I was such an idiot to think that Juliana Choi with her perfect life, was going to ruin her future for me.”
“It's not like that, Taeyoung, I really tried to fix it, but it's not that simple” Juliana tries to say, but Tatter's hurt look leaves her speechless. She remains silent for a few seconds, not knowing what to say, while tears begin to fall down her cheeks. “We can be friends; after all, before this, we were friends for a long time. I don't want us to stop talking; you are an important part of my life Taeyoung and you know it," she said as she tried to get closer, but Taeyoung denied taking a step back.
“I just don't want to be your friend; I'm sorry, Juliana” she whispered with a shrug, and with nothing more to say, she turned to grab her backpack.
If Juliana had been braver, she would have had stopped Taeyoung when she left her room; she would have told her that she didn't want to be her friend either, but “what if” doesn't exist, and she knows it. With an intense pain in her chest, she lay down on her bed, her hand on her neck, clenching the necklace Taeyoung had given her for her birthday. After a few minutes, Eunbyul walked through the door without knocking, encountering a scene she had expected.
“You look terrible, sis" she said in a soft voice, and then Juliana let out all the sobs she had been holding back.
And so the following week passed. Juliana stayed in her room every day alone with Eunbyul by her side, attending the university in the mornings and coming to her room every noon. She felt nothing; it was as if her body was anesthetized, but every night she cried because her mother again ruined something she wanted, and she had done nothing to stop it. Every day she tried to call Taeyoung but the girl never answered her calls or her texts; it was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.
She only saw her again when Taeyoung's face appeared on the banners advertising the Giselle ballet to be performed at the National Theater of Korea. A show her stepfather insisted on attending as a birthday present for Victoria who, even if she hated Juliana's relationship with Taeyoung, still considered the ballerina one of her favorites.
When the night of the show finally arrived, Juliana managed to sneak into the show's dressing room after convincing her old dance teacher, Ms. Jung. Luckily for her the place was a bit empty since most of the dancers were near the stage, except for Taeyoung whom Juliana knew liked to stay alone until the last minute before performing.
“Do you need help with that?” she said as she opened the door and watched Taeyoung try to put Giselle's headdress in her hair.
“What are you doing here?” The girl asked with a frown as she saw Juliana through the dressing table mirror. “I thought you didn't want to see me anymore.”
“I never said I didn't want to see you” she replied taking the headdress from Tatter's hands to place it in the tight bun she was wearing. “Unlike you, who haven't answered any of my calls or messages”
“Bold of you to asume that I wanted to talk to you after everything that happened." Taeyoung stood up and walked to the back to start stretching a bit since Juliana's appearance made her tense up a bit. “I think you said enough that night, Juliana.”
“I think there are still things we can talk about.”
“No Juliana” she spat a little rudely. "There's nothing to talk about anymore, but I'll give you some advice you didn't ask for; I don't think this is the way you should live your life, so take charge of it before you regret it. But I am not the one to decide how you should live. Goodbye Juliana.”
Without another word, Taeyoung walked past Juliana and out of the dressing room, leaving her alone. The former dancer felt as if the girl's words were a farewell and inevitably felt afraid of losing her, even though in reality she didn't even have her anymore. She took a long breath, smoothed the skirt of the long red dress her mother had recommended her to wear, and then left the place with a firm step. She made it as far as the balcony when Giselle's first act began.
“Where were you?” Eunbyul asked her in a whisper to avoid getting dirty looks from her parents. “Bada and Lusher are downstairs with Jessica, they asked me how you were”
“I'll look for them later to say hello” she answered, ignoring the question. Eunbyul understood instantly and decided not to insist any more.
The Giselle ballet was a tragic love story, and it was also Juliana's favorite work. It was the one leading role she always wished to have when she was still dancing, but she never got it because Taeyoung always beat her. But that didn't make her feel bad because, as much as she wanted to be the lead, she also enjoyed seeing the girl as Giselle. Taeyoung had beautiful eyes that managed to express all the pain of a broken heart, like Giselle.
When the second act started, Juliana sat upright on her chair, expectantly watching the Wilis dance which was her favorite part. Minah one of Taeyoung's close friends was in charge of playing Myrtha the ruthless leader of the spirits of the maidens abandoned by their lovers. She couldn't take her eyes off Taeyoung at all times, who danced with energy, giving her the air of youth that Giselle had.
“Taeyoung really has a bright future as a dancer" Juliana heard her mother say as she stood up to applaud when the play finally ended.
Everyone who attended the play stood up and applauded loudly when the dancers came out to bow their thanks. Juliana could not feel anything but proud of Taeyoung who had given an amazing lead role to everyone there. As the curtain closed, people slowly began to file out. Juliana sat back down on her chair as her stepfather was talking to an associate of his company. She didn't know how long she stayed there, but all the time she kept her eyes on the stage in an attempt to relive Taeyoung's performance. Deep down she felt that it was the last time she would see her. 
“Your phone is ringing Juliana," her mother's gruff voice interrupted her, making her quickly pull out her phone from the handbag she was carrying. She had five messages from Bada Lee; Taeyoung's best friend.
     Bada     
Tatter was offered a place at the Royal Opera House in London.      
I didn't want to get involved, but this is your last chance.     
Juliana answer the phone   
Her flight leaves at 9:30 pm   
Juliana!
The messages came one after the other twenty minutes ago. Without another second's thought, she stood up, walked past her stepfather and the man she was talking to, and ran down the stairs to the balcony as fast as she could, ignoring the voice of Eunbyul and her mother calling her name. There were still a lot of people among the aisles of the theater, She stopped for a moment among the people to grab the skirt of the long dress and pull it up to her legs so she could run with a little more ease, although the heels she was wearing made it a little difficult for her still.
Once she reached the outside of the venue, she felt anxious as there were a lot of people outside the theater. She tried to locate Taeyoung among the many women walking back and forth; even though the girl had long red hair it seemed impossible to find her. Se walked back and forth in circles hoping to see her but she couldn't find her, possibly Taeyoung had already left home.
”Juls!” she heard at the bottom of the stairs and when she turned her gaze she found Bada calling out to her with an effusive hand.
“Where is Taeyoung?” she asked as soon as she arrived with Bada, Lusher and Jessica.
“She's gone, she took a cab home about ten minutes ago to pick up her bags” Lusher took her hand and pulled her along the sidewalk. ”That's our cab, you take it and leave right now. But don't screw it up Juliana because this is really the only chance you have”
Not knowing what to say, Juliana just nodded and got into the cab. Lusher closed the door to indicate the direction to the driver, who started as soon as he sensed the importance of the matter. During the whole trip, Juliana's chest was rising and falling rapidly. She felt anxious to finally arrive at Taeyoung's apartment, but she felt the minutes passing too slowly. Every now and then, the driver would look at her and repeat that they would be at their destination soon and not to worry since there was not much traffic on the streets. He managed to calm her down a bit and used the remaining fifteen minutes of the trip to think about everything he had to say to Taeyoung. She wanted to apologize for putting her mother's wishes above what they had, to tell her that she loved her, and that she was sorry she hadn't tried a little harder to save their relationship. 
Once she was clear on what she wanted to say, she tried to calm down, but the driver's voice telling her that they had arrived at their destination made her nervous again. She paid the man, and without waiting for the change, she got out of the cab and rushed to the apartment building where Taeyoung lived. When she entered, the doorman greeted her as usual and let her in without asking her any questions. Juliana had spent so many days in the apartment that the apartment workers and Taeyoung's neighbors already knew her.
She entered the elevator with shaky legs and gasping for breath as she prayed that Taeyoung was still in the apartment. Once she reached floor three, she stepped out into the hallway and walked as fast as she could, her eyes on the floor, as it was very difficult for her to walk fast. Taeyoung's apartment was just around the corner, and when she finally stood in front of the door, she stood there, her heart pounding anxiously. She put in the code, and seconds later, the lock opened. She grabbed the knob, turning it to open the door.
“Taeyoung” she shouted in the darkness of the room, but no one answered. "Kim Taeyoung!” she shouted again, her voice shaking, but again there was only silence.
She ran to the main room of the apartment, and when she entered, she found nothing. The white sheets were perfectly laid out on the bed; on the dresser, there was no trace of Taeyoung's personal belongings, and when she opened the closet door, she found only the hangers. It was too late; Taeyoung was gone, and she could do nothing to stop her.
Her legs faltered and she slowly fell to her knees, she brought her hand to her chest as she felt an intense pain spread from her throat. At first it was only tears but soon her body shook from the uncontrolled sobs coming from her throat. She laid her head on the bed mattress and berated herself countless times for doing things wrong. She didn't know how long she lay there, but she was so deep in thought that she didn't hear when the door opened. But suddenly, a girl's arms wrapped around her body. 
 “It’s gonna be okay Juls" Lusher's voice came out in a soft tone lulling her into her arms.
“It hurts Lush"
“I know”

Chapter 7: New face
Unspoken Love Masterlist /Chapter: 8
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"It's already 2 weeks you've been here, now you're learning some complicated spells. I can't believe it"Dhani murmured with her head placed on the table and looked to the side to see you who was sitting on her bed reading a book of spells with reading glasses.
"Well, what can I say that I'm a fast learner" you smiled quickly at Dhani and looked at your book again.
"Fast learner, eh" Dhani yawned then straighten her body to crack her spine and groan in relief. "You know, this kind of evening is the best time to take a nap"
"well, for you it is but not for me, Dhani. I need to learn more. Things are getting more interesting" you told Dhani. Your eyes are still closed.
"yeah yeah, Doctor like you really thirst for knowledge." Dhani leaned back in the chair. "how's your leg?"
You looked at Dhani for a moment. "good.. yeah. It doesn't hurt as much as before and I don't really need to use walking stick anymore. Migraine? Still have." you answered while rolling your legs left and right.
Dhani nodded. "That's good" Dhani yawned for the second time. "Oh god, I'm so sleepy"
"then go to sleep" you replied looking back at the book.
Dhani groaned lowly. "i can't. John needs me"
"for what?" You furrowed your eyebrows at Dhani.
"some relics hunting he said. Probably there are bandits who smuggle relics" Dhani murmured.
"relics?" Now it's getting more interesting.
Dhani sighs. "it's weapons that contain magic, some very powerful, some are only middle level of powerful and some are used for daily life like protection or immunity. Also some are millions of years old, some are thousands of years old but still in good condition. You can have relics if the relics are ready to choose you to be its master."
"do you have any relics?" you questioned
"yeah, The Wren and The Nightingale are my relics" Dhani took out her relics from the sheath on her waist and showed them to you.
"they're called the Songbirds. they're twins"
The two daggers in Dhani's hand are very sharp and deadly with its handle having a diamond in the center of the two daggers. Silver and shiny, maybe Dhani really takes care of her daggers so well. With those two daggers that have their own names The Wren and The Nightingale in addition to their own different abilities make these relics even more interesting.
"That looks stunning" you complimented.
"i know right! they have their own abilities. You see, This two daggers connection is like Thor's hammer. They always know where the other are. It's like twins instinct, you know. They always stitch with each other." Dhani exclaimed excitedly then put the two daggers in the sheath around her waist and gently patted the sheath.
"when can i get my relics?" You questioned.
"Like I said, when the relics feel like you are ready to be their owner. Think about it like the magic wand in Harry Potter. The wand chooses it master" Dhani explained then got up from where she was sitting and stretched her body. "aight! I should probably go now, it's not good to be late, anyway. So, don't forget to return the book you read to the library.. if you don't, Wong will be mad at me because I should have returned that book today..Tata" Dhani pointed her index finger to the book you are holding then waved her hand towards you and left her own room where you are right now.
You just nodded in understanding and continued reading the spell book calmly. But then, before you could turn to the next page, the sound of knocking on the door started to be heard outside Dhani's room. You raised your head from between the books and looked weirdly towards the door of the room.
"Uh, That was a pretty quick mission that Dhani went on" you said under your breath and just sat down.
But the sound of knocking is still heard making you sigh quickly and put the book on the table then get up and walk towards the door of the room. The door of the room was opened by you and there stood a middle-aged man with a rather thick-built body and a stoic face and short black hair looking at you in front of the door of Dhani's room with both hands on his hips. Looking at the way he wears the dark brown tunic, he must be one of the Masters here. You gulped looking at the Chinese man.
"Hi?" You greeted the Chinese man. You don't know if he's good at speaking English or not so the word 'hi' means the same, right?
"new face? Finally i see your face around here." said the man with a gruff voice.
"yes.. And you are?"
"Wong" the man simply said.
"Wong.. Ok.. um you-"
"I am one of the library custodians here and my job now is to collect back the book that Dhani borrowed for 3 days. Now where is Dhani?" Wong explained.
"she's just gone out to do a relics hunting mission," you answered.
Wong raised one eyebrow. "again?"
"I don't know how many times she did that mission but that's what she said." you raised both hands as if you were surrounded.
"Never mind that, I need to collect the book that Dhani borrowed before the Ancient One checks around the library later" Wong massaged the bridge of his nose.
"oh, yeah.. the book.. right." you turned around but before that you looked at Wong with a glance. "wait here" and you went to the table where you put the spell book.
A few seconds later, you handed the spell book to Wong. "here"
Wong took the book and held it by his side before nodding his head towards you as a sign of thanks and walking away. But then you decided to follow Wong to the library too.
Wong just ignored your appearance next to him and carried on walking to the library for the next duty.
To get rid of the awkwardness, you try to open a conversation with Wong. But your chance to start a conversation was interrupted by Wong.
"How long have you been here?" Wong asked. His eyes are not looking at you.
"I've only been here for 2 weeks" you answered and tried to keep up with Wong's steps.
"2 weeks and you already read a complicated spell book" Wong acknowledged you with an impressive tone of voice.
"well, I quite like the teaching method here so it's quite easy to keep up" you exclaimed.
"Great, you like our teaching method, but sometimes there are methods that you can't follow yet," Wong responded and opened the library door.
The two of you stepped into the library. Cozy and quiet is what you feel after stepping into the Kamar Taj library. Everything is arranged nicely and neatly. The bookshelves are organized by category while there are several books on chains in some sections, perhaps the most complicated spell books or just the books are banned. Perhaps it was a restricted area and only Masters could be there and take the book.
Wong then turned on the light in a section of books that were chained and then pulled the grill to hook the book to its original place and pushed the grill back to its original place.
You raised one eyebrow. "What area is this? Why are the books here chained?"
"The Ancient One's private collection." Wong answered and walked to the other grill to make sure the books there were tightly chained. "Books here are chained because they are not to be taken at will" Wong added
"So only masters can take it? Does that mean the book I read is forbidden?" you worriedly said.
"Not all knowledge in the Kamar Taj is forbidden but for the first question is yes it is indeed for Masters but students can borrow it too only for certain practices and there is a time limit which is why I need to collect the book that Dhani borrowed back. Though she is already on the way to be a master doesn't mean she can take care of the books well" Wong mumbled.
"besides those books are far too advanced for anyone other than the Sorcerer Supreme." Wong added.
You nodded your understanding and looked around the area with wonder. But then what catches your attention is a book that has an iron-like cover and in the center of the book there is a large circle complete with a shining orange crystal.
"that book looks beautiful" you pointed out towards the book by nodding your head towards the book.
Wong looked at you and saw where you nodded. "That's the book of Cagliostro. The study of time. A few months ago one of our ex students Kaecilius stole a ritual from that book after beheading the former library master here. Not only that," Wong walked to the library desk to check some book return forms. "He gathered other students and tempted them with power to follow in his footsteps."
"he stole the ritual for what? Only one page? Why not the whole book?" you frowned in question.
"No more questions. And one more thing, if any of the collection volumes here are lost again, I will look for you until I find it and I know who took it. And you can't imagine how bad the punishment you will get." Wong warned you sharply and looked at you with narrowed eyes.
"but what if I'm like Dhani? You know, if I forget to return it on that day or it's overdue, is there some late fees I have to pay or punishment for returning it late?" you joked trying to light up the tense situation. But then shut up when you saw Wong's serious face.
You then looked down in shame. "I shouldn't have said that" you mumbled quietly then looked at Wong again and nodded as a sign of retreat. "Uh, thank you for lighting up all the awareness in me and giving me a wonderful warning. Hope we can meet again" and you walked away.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
2 ꂵꄲꋊ꓄ꁝꇙ ꒒ꋬ꓄ꏂꋪ (2 Months later)
"Try to conjure your own weapon first" Mordo instructed you while pointing the wand of Watoombs at you. Sometimes, Mordo corrects your stands and hands positions to be perfect.
After 2 months of training there, you can finally feel free to walk without any help. You can feel your legs light after some weight is removed. Your migraine seems to be decreasing but still not gone even a little.
Sometimes there are times when you think about many things, the migraine will appear uninvited and sometimes that can cause you to lack focus in certain training. After several mind trainings with Dhani, even though Dhani is sometimes the cause of your migraines, you are able to train your mind to be calm and think broadly without any pressure or any other things that are not relevant in your mind, so your migraines decrease little by little.
Sparks of fire splashed at your fingertips as you braced your hands forward with your eyes focused intently on your fingers while your mind was trying to clear what you were thinking and just focus on conjuring a weapon as instructed by Mordo.
And then after the spark of fire seemed powerful enough to form, you started to pull the orange magic hue like a spring and suddenly Mordo swooped down and hit the wand of watoombs on your half-finished makeshift weapon causing you to lose focus.
Mordo then swung the wand of watoomb again quickly and you managed to reflect it with your half makeshift weapon. Sparks of fire flew into the air as the wand of watoomb made contact with your mystic weapon.
As if Mordo senses an opening around you that you don't defend, Mordo then swipes your leg until you lose your balance and kneel to court training. And then Mordo raised the wand of watoomb above your head and swung it at you. You then reflect with your barely there makeshift weapon. But then your makeshift weapon disappears as soon as you make contact with the wand of watoomb. And there goes Mordo finishing you off.
You pant a few breaths trying to get some oxygen into your body again. You who were lying on the side looked at Mordo's face tiredly.
Mordo lightly chuckled looking at your defeated face and extended his hand towards you. "I see you're getting better lately"
You reached for Mordo's hand and got up with a groan. "still can't fight you"
"Train more persistently and you will be able to achieve what you want" Mordo simply said.
"you've said that many times" you stretched your shoulders a few times trying to get rid of the pain.
"and yet, I can see the results" Mordo reassured you.
"well thanks to you I have a great trainer" you smiled a little before brushing yourself from the dirt on your attire.
"how was your casting spells with the Ancient One? any progress now that she allows you to learn complicated spells?" Mordo glanced at you before placing the wand of watoomb back where it came from.
"still in progress but almost there" you stretch your hands forward and crack your neck slightly to the side. you breathed a sigh of relief.
"You and your strong memories were created specifically for mystic arts. So study hard and train a lot" Mordo admitted then put his hands on his waist.
"Is that a compliment because I don't know how to react" you joked.
Mordo chuckled lightly while shaking his head. "you and your sarcasm." Mordo sighed. "Now I have to go out now to scout around so go training or do something. Dhani will be with you this late afternoon"
"I hope she's not with John again." you muttered quietly.
"Those two I don't know what would happen if they weren't together." Mordo said simply then walked down the corridor to his room.
You hummed. "the two of them really can't go far from each other.. makes you wonder" you paused. "well, i better go.. you can't be late for duty right? bye bye"
Mordo nodded then turned and went to his room to change his attire. You hummed and walked to your room to freshen up.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
꓄꒐ꂵꏂ ꇙꀘ꒐ꉣꇙ (Time skips)
"Did you hear? The Ancient One just kicked someone out of the Kamar Taj.. Don't know why. But it's kinda rare because this is the first time she rejected someone so quickly" Dhani told you while stroking the fur of a black cat in the floor of your room.
"really? They must have pissed off Ancient One, that's why she kicked them out"You replied, eyes not leaving the book in your hand as you tried to make yourself comfortable on your bed to leaned against the headboard.
"It could be. She looks calm but don't trust her calmness. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve" Dhani cooed at the cat while poking the cat's stomach. The cat then jerked and clawed Dhani's hand gently.
You looked at Dhani with wonder. "You told me that Mordo brought them here. Any chance you saw their faces?"
"why? do you want to change him like in the Wattpad book I read? 'oh, look at me! look at meh. This isn't you!'" Dhani said dramatically as she lifted the cat and pouted towards the cat's face. The cat meowed softly.
"Ehh, not really but what I know is that he's wearing a Balenciaga sweater and his hands are bandaged" Dhani shrugged her shoulders and put the cat on her shoulders like a baby and gently patted the cat's body. The cat nuzzled into her shoulder and purred lowly.
"rich person then. Must have a high ego that's why the Ancient One kicks them out" you shifted your gaze to the spell book again.
"of course" Dhani murmured then fixed her glasses that fell on the bridge of her nose.
The room becomes silent for a moment. Only the sound of bells and the wind could be heard in the late afternoon. The sky is getting browner and becomes a dark orange mixed with gray indicating that the moon will appear soon. A gentle breeze enters your room through the window. The once busy street around Kamar Taj becomes more and more deserted as the night approaches.
Dhani then started standing with the black cat still in her hand. Dhani yawned slightly. "I should go take a shower and feed Moon" Dhani gestured at the cat in her hand. "see you at dinner, Y/n" Dhani waved her hand  and putting on her shoes before walked out of your room.
You nodded without looking at Dhani. Your eyes are still on the page of the book. You only have five pages left and you can return this spell book to the library. Otherwise Wong will demand like a debt collector later. It's been a while since you heard from Stephen. Well, it took a while because you turned off your phone so you didn't really know what was going on out there because you were focused on the Kamar Taj.
So you haven't heard any news from Stephen or from the hospital. You just shrugged it off. After all, Dhani has become a messenger for you because she likes to share something that happens out there. At least you know what's going on in the world now. While Dhani is quite busy with relics hunting and recently with Kaecilius' cases. She actually became more serious and firm with the training you both went through. According to her, your skills should be honed properly because at any time something undesirable will happen. Must be something that Dhani is a bit stressed with what is happening now.
You don't mind at least you can focus on trying to move the remaining sore muscles that are still tense. Migraine should not be mentioned. Well sometimes there are things that cannot be cured. You looked at your walking stick that was leaning against the corner of your room. You are quite satisfied with your progress to go back to walking as usual, but you still feel empty. Like something is a bit wrong. You have recovered, but do you want to go back to work in the hospital again?
As if you were hit by a dilemma, you shook yourself from your empty reverie and looked out the window. The sky is already dark and you can see some stars that are quite faded in the sky starting to appear clearly. While the moon seems in the phase of appearing. Full moon tonight You wonder if werewolves exist. If magic exists, does it mean that mystical animals such as dragons, unicorns or vampires also exist?
Now that's pretty interesting. You sighed lightly and chuckled softly at the thought of such a thing. It is possible that they exist but we ourselves do not see them, that's all.
You then put the spell book on the table next to the bed then got up and walked to a cabinet to prepare your night clothes. It's been a long day so you deserve a hot and relaxing bath. You took out a short-sleeved blue t-shirt and black pajamas from the cabinet and then you put them on the bed.
Your hand then reached for the towel hanging on the hanger. As you were getting ready to undress, you heard a chatter outside your window. Weird, you put your tunic back on and looked out the window curiously.
There Mordo and a man were busy walking in the dim courtyard. Mordo, who was still wearing his duty tunic, seemed to be accompanied by a stranger behind him while explaining certain things. The tall stranger who seemed to be carrying a bag with a sweater that Dhani explained before seemed to nod and look around the place.
Now there you can see from afar that the man's face is full of beard and his hair is unkempt. His face is smeared while his hands are full of bandages just like what Dhani described to you.
So that's the guy that The Ancient One kicked out a while ago? Now he is accepted? weird. It's as if the Ancient one saw something in the man that's why he was accepted again even though he was initially rejected. Mordo seems satisfied so you assume he is the one who confronted the Ancient One. You don't know but you're just guessing.
Not long after, you lost focus on the guest as they both entered a hallway and didn't know where they were going. You just shrugged it off and closed the window of your room and decided to refresh yourself before heading to dinner.
But no matter what you do, you still think about that mysterious man. Something about him just triggered a button in your mind.

Could we have an AU where’s Bradley’s papers didn’t get pulled and he goes to the Naval Academy where he meets Jake and Jake takes him home for Christmas to meet his dad and his dads partners? I’m gonna roll with the idea that Goose is alive (cause I love goose too much to kill him) and he and Mav and Carole are gone on some cruise or something so Bradley doesn’t have any family to go home to for Christmas so ofc Jake being the sweet bf he is invites Bradley home to spend it with him and his family. The only problem tho is that Jake hasn’t exactly told Bradley that two of his dads are a couple of the most influential men in the navy. Bradley just knows them as Ron the man who is terrified of cats and Tom who taught Jake how to speak polish as a kid. Jake also hasn’t told his dads that he’s dating Bradley as in Bradley Bradshaw, the son of goose from their top gun class (let’s pretend that Jake also doesn’t realize that his bf is the son of Admiral Bradshaw who was in the same top gun class with his dads). Jake also definitely hasn’t said anything about his dads cause he doesn’t want to be labeled a nepo baby and he wants to prove himself in the academy. Same as Bradley. And we can we have best friend Javy who knows exactly who Bradley is but won’t tell Jake cause he’s just absolutely living for the free entertainment that this is gonna provide on his winter break (Javy is going home with Jake and Bradley cause his parents are also not around for Christmas).
Don’t mind me just dropping things in your ask box with the intention of leaving them here for me to remember in a couple months when I have the free time to write
MWAH I LOVE YOU GIVING ME FABULOUS IDEAS!
Omg please join Phanie (Aki) and I in writing them. I’d scream. I’m begging you
-
Bradley can admit he’s excited to meet Jake’s dads. He knows very little all things considered but knows Jake was always supported in anything he wanted to do.
He sends off a final text to his mom before joining Jake and Javy in the truck. “So? Do I get to see some cows or some shit since we’re in Texas?”
Jake laughs from where he’s driving. “Not a chance cowboy. Pa and Tata said no cows.” Bradley nods he shuffles his feet a little. “But horses right? Always wanted to actually try riding one.”
Jake looks over with a smile. “Yeah baby, horses.”
Javy grins from where he’s sitting in the back texting Bob. Oh he can’t wait for this Christmas.
-
When they get to the ranch Bradley can only stand there for a second. It’s a big house. Bigger then he expected. Five dogs pour out of the door, Jake and Javy both toss their bags aside to grab them. Jake ends up picking up a little mutt. “Jake is that a coyote?” Jake blinks at Bradley and gives him the ‘I’m adorable and did nothing wrong’ smile. “No..?”
There’s a whistle from the porch. “Baby don’t lie to the poor man. Y’all come on. It’s cold out.” Jake laughs. “Good thing they live in California most of the year. Dad gets cold as hell.”
Bradley nods and grabs Jake’s bag. They make their way to the house, when they step inside Javy takes off deeper into the house like he owns the place. There’s voices in the other room that greet him with joy.
Jake nods for Bradley to follow him. When they enter the kitchen Javy is up on the counter next to the man who came out to get them. “Baby!” Jake is swept into a hug, “oh honey welcome home. And this must be the boyfriend huh?”
Bradley gives the man a little wave. “Hello. I’m Bradley.” The blond clone of Jake smiles and brings him into a hug. “My name is Chris hon.”
Bradley blinks for a second, he knows Jake’s dads names are Tommy and Ron. Doesn’t remember a Chris. “You’re Jake’s father?” The man nods and presses a kiss to Jake’s head on the way by. “Yep! I’m dad. Ron is pa, Tommy is tata which is polish for father.”
Bradley nods. Suddenly there’s two new men in the kitchen. Jake takes off for them both. “Pa! Tata!” They catch Jake in a hug, “hey chickie.” “Hey kiddo.”
Bradley blinks. He’s seen these men in photos with his dad and Mav.
Holy shit that’s Tom Iceman Kazansky.
“Holy shit Tommy is that Nick Bradshaw?”
Bradley freezes. Jake looks up at his dad in confusion. “Pa?” Tom blinks for s few seconds and then snaps his fingers, “Bradley right? Bradley Bradshaw? Never did get how Nicky got Carole to agree to that.”
Jake smacks Tom’s chest with a laugh. “Tata! You can’t be mean to him already!”
Javy snickers from where he’s sitting. Chris elbows him gently in the side. “You put it all together didn’t you kid?” Javy can only shrug, “needed some kind of drama this year.” Chris snorts and makes Javy try some of the soup he was making.
Bradly points at Ron, “you’re his wingman right? Uh? Slider?” Tom snorts, “nailed it kid. He’s more of a husband then a wingman now though.”
Bradley laughs and stares at Jake who isn’t really looking at him. “You’re a nepo baby aren’t you!?” Jake shakes head but before he can say anything Ron interrupts as he walks by Bradley and goes to the kitchen. “Say’s you Bradley. Your dad is an admiral as well.” Jake pulls himself out of Tom’s arms, “he’s what!” Bradley and Jake stare at each other for a good minute.
Oh Javy can’t believe his sister is missing this year’s entertainment just for a fucking cruise. She’d love this. It’s better then The bachelor.
“You are both nepo babies and I’m going to guess you didn’t share who your fathers were for the same reasons. Now someone besides Javy set the table.”
Jake snaps out of it faster and kisses Bradley on the way by, “not done with this conversation.” Bradley nods. He desperately hopes his phone has enough service to text his dad. He needs to know what to be prepared for.
———
Brad what do you mean Ice married his RIO?
Dad I swear. And there’s another blond.
Is it Hollywood?
No? Someone named Chris Seresin?? Jake has his last name??
Tell them I say hello and that we’re all catching up next time we’re all in California.
Dad love you but really not helping the freak out I’m having. JAKES DAD IS THE GODDAMN COMPACFLT
That’s a lot of yelling kiddo, but don’t fuck up with Jake Ice could end your career :) I dunno if I could stop him! :) :)
DAD WHAT THE FUCK????
Love you baby! Have fun! Send photos! Your mom says kisses!

okay now i actually am chewing on my phone PLEASE toot your own horn you deserve it. your comics deserve it.
I can Tell you put a lot of thought into That Scene and it really paid off!! That's like a hallmark of your comics, tbh, I noticed it a lot with Millennium that you have a knack for capturing the little domestic things between partners and between friends that really shows through in the facial expressions and really makes the dialogue between characters really feel alive. (re: "WAIT THIS WAS A DATE?" vs "I'm adopting this turtle we just found" "no you're not" "too late his name is Gazpacho") You pay attention to the details and the things people naturally bond over. You don't like, put outright emphasis on them, but there's still a LOT of clear care going into them. It's one of the things that first drew me into Millennium and one of the things I knew I was going to love about TaTA and GOD you did not disappoint.
that means a lot. sometimes I feel silly with how much time and energy I put into the nuances of my scenes, I rewrite and rearrange and edit things a LOT and sometimes I worry it doesn't make any real difference at all... It's funny to put so much effort into making things seem natural, isn't it?
But it feels disrespectful not to! I love my readers too much to not give them the best I can. I want my stories to be as good as they deserve. Nothing is more worth it to me, and sometimes that means toiling over the wording of a single line for an entire day.
Thank you again. Time and Time Again is something that I really think is the best I can do with who I am as a person right now. I think in 10 years I'll be better, but I'm really proud of what I'm doing and I think I always will be (like how I'm still proud of Millennium despite being a better writer now (sorry I've not been working on it... it's hard to have comics as a hobby when they're also my job!))

Commercial Shops for Sale in Gurgaon? Here’s Why M3M Paragon is a Smart Choice
If you were looking for commercial shops for sale in Gurgaon, you probably noticed that there are not enough options. But here's the thing-no project promises the kind of visibility, yields and long-term growth that the M3M paragon 57 brings to the table. This development, set in the heart of sector 57 , quickly becomes a place for intelligent investors, for itself and premium retail brands. And it's not just hype - there is a solid reason for buzzing.
Tumblr media
Designed to see - not just sold
When buying a retail store, it's not just about ownership of space. It is visibility, customer flow and being where people really walk, stop and buy. This is exactly what the M3M paragon shines on.
It is equipped with wide open boulevards and airy corridors that naturally draw attention to every retail unit.
Multiple access points are facilitated by shoppers-declining-what means more walks, more sales.
With retail spaces located on the ground and lower floors, you are located directly in the middle of all the action.
It is not just a real estate-a high impact exposition designed to control business from the first day.
A place that is already buzzing
We have all heard that the phrase "Location is everything" - but in fact it brings.
The M3M paragon is set in sector 57, a prosperous part of Gurgaon, which is surrounded by a high -density residential area. This is not the upcoming area - it is already full of life. Just look:
More than 10,000 families live within 3 km.
It sits near the intersection of Golf Course Road and Gurgaon-Faridabad Road-DVA's busiest commuting routes.
The surroundings are full of premium projects of housing from large names such as M3M, Tata and Beachy.
This means that demand already exists and your business will not have to wait for catching up to develop.
Made for brands that think larger
This commercial space for sale does not try to be another common shopping complex. It is built with a clear vision-state with the highest goal of shopping and lifestyle in Gurgaon. Everything about it since its layout and aesthetics was created to attract a premium crowd.
Ideal for flag shops, upscale cafes, boutique showrooms and well -known F&B chains.
Retail units with a double height offer that another piece of grandeur and visibility of each brand desires.
Elegant, modern exterior with facade of glass slides from floor to ceiling helps to increase the perception of the brand.
This is not a setting for local moms and pop shops. It is a top space for businesses that want to excel and make a lasting impression.
If you seriously invest in a commercial property that controls all the right boxes - visibility, location, design and growth potential - M3M Paragon is worth a closer look.
A Smart Investment with a Reputable Name Behind It
Investing in M3M Paragon is not merely about owning a commercial shop—it's about investing your money in a brand that has tested itself time and again. In Gurgaon's dynamic real estate market, M3M has established a reputation for success with hits like M3M 65th Avenue and M3M Broadway.
For investors, this translates to:
Robust rental demand, particularly in high-traffic segments such as fashion and dining
Greater resale value due to the brand equity of M3M
Early-stage investment rewards through higher returns and long-term appreciation
If a project is done by such a credible developer, it provides an added level of security to your investment choice.
More Than Retail—It's an Experience
Today's shoppers don't just want somewhere to shop; they want an experience that they'll return for. That's just what M3M Paragon offers.
The project has been carefully designed with food courts, high-end dining, and entertainment zones to make it a comprehensive lifestyle hub. This not only brings in the traffic but makes the visitors linger and spend more.
Its mixed-use nature also draws professionals, families, and residents locally, and therefore it is a thriving place for daily activity instead of being a weekend destination.
What Sets M3M Paragon Apart
This commercial project in Gurgaon stands out on every possible count. Here's why it's catching serious attention:
Seamless visibility with a design created for ease of customer movement
A sizeable, ready residential catchment just beyond its doors
High-end design and infrastructure designed for upscale retail brands
Excellent scope for rental income as well as long-term appreciation
Supported by the stable and reliable M3M Group
If you are planning to invest in an office space in Gurgaon that has a perfect blend of robust fundamentals and contemporary charm, M3M Paragon has everything to offer.

Expert Cancer Care in Jaipur: Your Path to Hope and Healing
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, not just for the patient but also for their family. It brings a mix of emotions—fear, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. But amidst all this, one thing is certain: having the right medical guidance makes all the difference. With advances in cancer treatment and early detection, survival rates have improved significantly, and many patients go on to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. The key is timely intervention and expert care from a trusted Cancer specialist in Jaipur.
Understanding the Role of a Cancer Specialist
An oncologist, or cancer specialist, is a medical professional trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various types of cancer. These specialists are equipped with in-depth knowledge of cancer biology and use the latest medical technologies to deliver personalized care.
A cancer specialist doesn’t just focus on eradicating cancer cells—they take a holistic view of the patient’s condition. This includes evaluating the type and stage of cancer, understanding the patient’s overall health, and recommending a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. This may involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, targeted therapy, or a combination of these approaches.
Signs You Should See a Cancer Specialist
While some cancers show clear symptoms, others can be silent in the early stages. Being aware of the warning signs and seeking medical advice promptly can be life-saving. Common symptoms that should prompt a consultation include:
Unexplained weight loss
Persistent fatigue
Lumps or swelling
Long-lasting pain or discomfort
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Difficulty swallowing or chronic cough
If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these signs, it’s important to consult a specialist without delay.
What to Expect During a Consultation
When you visit a cancer specialist, the first step is a detailed evaluation. This may include blood tests, imaging (CT, MRI, PET scans), biopsies, and other diagnostic procedures to confirm the presence and extent of the disease. Once a diagnosis is made, the doctor will discuss the treatment options, expected outcomes, and possible side effects.
Modern cancer care focuses not only on curing the disease but also on improving the patient’s quality of life. This includes pain management, nutritional support, psychological counseling, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress.
Advanced Cancer Treatment in Jaipur
Jaipur has emerged as a growing hub for advanced medical care, and oncology is no exception. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, experienced medical teams, and access to cutting-edge therapies, patients no longer need to travel to metro cities for world-class treatment. The city is now home to leading cancer specialists who are making a real difference in the lives of patients.
Among the trusted names in the field, Best Oncologist Dr. Vinod Sharma AIIMS TATA PGI stands out for his extensive training, compassionate care, and a strong track record of successful outcomes. Having been associated with some of the most prestigious cancer institutes in India, he brings both expertise and empathy to every case he handles.
Final Thoughts
Cancer can be a daunting journey, but with the right guidance, it doesn’t have to be a hopeless one. Early detection, expert care, and emotional support can transform the experience into a story of strength and recovery. If you or a loved one is facing this challenge, don’t wait—reach out to a trusted Cancer specialist in Jaipur who can guide you through every step of the way.
Because when it comes to fighting cancer, having the right specialist by your side isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Mahindra has just unveiled the Scorpio N Carbon Edition, a limited edition of their iconic SUV. To commemorate the sale of 2,00,000 units of the Scorpio N, this new edition introduces thrilling updates to its design and features. The Scorpio N Carbon Edition comes in the Z8 and Z8 L variants, giving an already popular vehicle a new, sportier spin. Let's take a look at all that makes this edition special.
Mahindra Scorpio N Carbon Edition Price
Mahindra Scorpio N Carbon Edition is priced at Rs 19.9 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai) and reaches Rs 34.52 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for the top-of-the-line Z8L trim. The Carbon Edition is priced an extra Rs 20,000 above the normal Scorpio N trims. Even with a slight price bump, the added features of the Carbon Edition, coupled with the all-black aesthetics, make the Carbon Edition appealing to SUV buffs.
Mahindra Scorpio N Carbon Edition Design
As the name implies, the Carbon Edition heats things up with its all-black finish. Mahindra has blacked out all the chrome pieces on the SUV, ranging from the grille, door handles, roof rails, and window sills. The wheels also receive the black-out treatment with both 17-inch and 18-inch (AWD) wheels. This blacked-out look makes the Scorpio N even more menacing, and aggressive-looking on the road.
Inside, the Scorpio N Carbon Edition follows the dark and aggressive theme. The interior is lined with high-quality black leatherette, giving it a touch of class. The seats, dashboard, roof liner, and door panels all feature this sleek black appearance, giving it an intimidating yet fashionable interior. It's no longer just an SUV—it's a statement on wheels.
Tumblr media
Powertrain and Features

A 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol motor, which develops 200bhp and 370Nm with a 6-speed manual gearbox (6MT) or 380Nm with a 6-speed automatic gearbox (6AT).
A 2.2-litre diesel engine, producing 172bhp and 370Nm (6MT) or 400Nm (6AT). The diesel variant also offers an AWD option, while the petrol variant sticks with 2WD.
Features You’ll Love
The Scorpio N Carbon Edition comes loaded with features. It comes with an 8-inch touch infotainment system that makes operating your music, navigation, and connected car features a cakewalk. The 7-inch instrument cluster gives you all the driving details you require at a glance.
For comfort, you have dual-zone climate control, an electrically adjustable driver seat, and reclining captain seats in the second row, so long drives are much more comfortable. There's also a sunroof to bring in natural light and a wireless charging pad to keep your devices charged on the move. The Scorpio N Carbon Edition is designed to make every drive a pleasure and convenient.

Exploring the Brezza New Model: Maruti Suzuki’s Latest SUV Sensation
Maruti Suzuki has been a household name in India for decades, and their Brezza lineup has consistently won hearts in the compact SUV space. The Brezza New Model is here to carry that legacy forward, blending fresh design, modern tech, and practical features into a package that’s hard to ignore. Whether you’re a city driver or someone who loves weekend getaways, this updated SUV promises to deliver. Let’s dive into what makes the Brezza new model stand out in 2025!
A Bold New Look That Turns Heads
The first thing you’ll notice about the Brezza new model is its striking redesign. Maruti has given it a sharper, more muscular stance with sleek LED headlamps, bold DRLs, and a revamped front grille that screams confidence. The geometric alloy wheels and dual-tone color options add a youthful, energetic vibe, making it a perfect fit for those who want their ride to reflect their personality. Compared to its predecessors, this version feels more premium and ready to take on rivals like the Tata Nexon or Hyundai Venue.
Power Under the Hood: Efficiency Meets Performance
The Brezza new model sticks to its reliable 1.5L K-Series petrol engine, now enhanced with smart hybrid technology for better fuel efficiency. You’re looking at around 19-20 kmpl for the petrol variants, while the S-CNG option pushes it to an impressive 25.51 km/kg – ideal for those looking to save on fuel without compromising on power. Transmission choices include a smooth 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, giving you flexibility based on your driving style. It’s not the punchiest engine out there, but it’s refined and perfect for everyday commutes or long cruises.
Inside the Cabin: Comfort and Tech Galore
Step inside, and the Brezza new model feels like a big upgrade. The dual-tone black-and-brown interiors with silver accents give it a sporty yet classy feel. The star of the show? A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay – keeping you connected on the go. Add in a panoramic sunroof (a first for Maruti SUVs!), automatic climate control, and a 360-view camera, and you’ve got a cabin that’s as luxurious as it is practical. There’s ample space for five, plus a decent boot for your weekend gear.
Safety First: Built to Protect
Maruti Suzuki isn’t cutting corners with safety in the Brezza new model. It now comes with 6 airbags as standard across all variants – a huge plus for peace of mind. You also get ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill-hold assist, and ISOFIX mounts for child seats. While the latest crash test ratings are still pending, the previous Brezza scored a solid 4-star from Global NCAP, and this version builds on that foundation with even more safety tech.
Variants and Pricing: Something for Everyone
The Brezza new model comes in multiple trims – LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+ – with prices starting at around ₹8.34 lakh and climbing to ₹14.14 lakh (ex-showroom). Whether you’re after the budget-friendly base model or the fully-loaded ZXi+ with all the bells and whistles, there’s an option that fits your pocket. The CNG variants are a bonus for eco-conscious buyers, while the automatic trims cater to those who prefer a laid-back drive. Compared to competitors, it’s a value-for-money deal that’s tough to beat.
Why the Brezza New Model Stands Out
In a crowded sub-4-meter SUV market, the Brezza new model holds its own with a blend of style, efficiency, and affordability. It’s not trying to be the flashiest or the fastest – instead, it’s a practical, reliable choice that ticks all the right boxes for Indian buyers.

Psychic Stuff & Memories
Tumblr media
Biffy's Place.
Sorry - I apologize in advance. This post could come off as bragging but I'm not. I'm actually really freaked out. I've mentioned before that an old ex-friend of mine told me more than 20 years ago that psychic ability can manifest and get very strong with age. Well, It freaking has, by like 10,000%!! Holy balls. Thought I had it young. Not by a long shot of what I've got now. And it's practically breathless to deal with.
In my shower last night, I heard my grandpa Ben's voice. Weird? I told him it wasn't a proper time to talk. He understood and said he'd come back. It's not just that. I'm seeing ppl in my regular mirror, not my scrying mirror! My channeling is getting beyond awesome. It's weird, comforting, and oddly satisfying.
Most notably, I mentioned a bit back that my old padrino/Tata (godfather) in Palo has contacted me via channeling to tell me he died and that he'd help me with some spiritual things. He said that he likes Muerteria. And that I'm doing very well. Also, he said he was sorry he ignored me after I disrespected him. He said he shouldn't have done that and he didn't know how serious my depression was.
Antonio means a lot to me. He got me in touch with my power. He opened up my abilities by believing in me and showing me his rich Cuban culture. First, he taught me how to build and attend a boveda. The word boveda is Spanish for vault or tomb. It is where one attends to their ancestors. It's very similar to the photos of Rodolfo's altar that I post here. Really though, it only looks similar. The intentions are very different. He started with a bit of Santeria. He was also an initiated Santero. I never asked his rank because I knew nothing about African Traditional Religions at the time.
He introduced Palo easily but with a trickle. Still, my time with him was very short. He told me not to read Palo books in English and to learn Spanish for these paths. Right he was. Most English Palo books are crap. Actually, Montenegro has a few useful ones. If your kinda in Palo, you know what he's purposely leaving out or using slang for. Lol! Sorry. Palo memories. I miss Antonio. And my two Tata's named Angel.
I'm not meant for that religion. Too many clashes. Somehow I have fewer clashes with Christianity. Odd. Got sort of off topic. I bet if I tear my entire closet apart (I've tried) I'll find that damn Siete Rayos collare! That's my mpungo Papa. Um...father deity in Palo. Or Shango in Osha-Ifa, Orisha. I've been obsessing over that collare for years! Angel No. 1 made it for me & left the menga (blood) on it! Didn't clean off the rooster blood. Or didn't wash it well with the chamba. Oh well. If I ever find it, I'll post a pic of me wearing it.
Back to psychic shit! 😊 When this stuff happens, its like Reveille sounding off in my brain constantly! I know a lot of soldiers don't miss that. Lol! I certainly don't like it either. I mean, yeah - its cool. Its spooky & weird. But it can get annoying. I used to love Ouija boards. Not anymore. The muertos come out for sure around me. Like Antonio said: "You are like a moth to the flame with muertos." Yup, I am nowadays! The graveyard always gets busy when I arrive. 💀
Especially when I do Tributas for Santa Muerte. Ha!
M.M. 💖💀💖

Tips for Choosing a Charity to Support
When choosing a charity to support, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
Consider your interests and values. What are you passionate about? What are your values? Choose a charity that aligns with your interests and values.
Do your research. Before you donate to a charity, take some time to research them. Look at their website, read their financial reports, and see what other people have said about them.
Make sure the charity is legitimate. There are many scams out there, so make sure the charity you are donating to is legitimate. You can check their website for information about their registration status, and you can also check with the Better Business Bureau.
Donate what you can afford. Donating to charity is a great way to help others, but it is important to donate what you can afford. Don't overextend yourself financially, and don't donate if it will put a strain on your budget.
