Making of Monday - How NOT to Write a Long Fic

Haven't posted one of these in a hot minute! Story time: sometime around 2021, I decided I was sick of having all these ideas for Star Wars fics and never actually writing them. So I decided to buckle down, and write a damn fic.

But of course that didn't happen. What I did instead was try to plot out a long, winding, action-adventure story, and to do that, I decided to study to study from the masters. Or master. I wrote down all the chapter titles for every Lord of the Rings book, and was planning on modeling my story based off a similar pacing.

But of course that didn't happen either. And I realized that I was getting nowhere fast. So, I took out a different piece of paper, and with no plan in place, just started jotting down thoughts.

Warning: terrible formatting and terribly inconsistent handwriting below the cut

And as you can see, I didn't get far with unconnected ideas before I started planning once more.

Inspired by short fic I had just read, I wanted to write a long fic where a whole and hale Anakin Skywalker shows up on Tatooine some amount of years into exile. Seeing as how this was before the Obi-Wan Kenobi show came out, there was a lot of room for interpretation in canon. I could take ideas from Legends, make theories about what they were going to do with canon (and be extremely right about some of them), and just make shit up whenever I wanted to.

But immediately, I came to a question that I wanted an interesting answer to: where did this new Anakin come from, and how did he get to Tatooine? Time travel is simple, and not where I wanted to go. Something something Sith magic, yeah, whatever. Also not what I wanted to do. But dimension travel? Now, there was an idea.

Of course, because I am a planner, it couldn't be simple, now could it? It couldn't be just hand-wave the Force that caused it. There had to be a real, concrete, series of events that caused Anakin to appear out of thin air.

And thus began the Yeetverse.

A chain of 4 separate universes (plus 1 bonus one for my own torture amusement. And actually now with one more added on later!). A to B to C to D. It's far too complex for baby's first fanfic in a fandom, and yet the ideas would not stop flowing.

Yes, that was all just written because I couldn't stop thinking about these ideas. It may not seem like a lot, but any brave soul who attempts to read my handwriting can see that there are many things going on at once. (And the only thing I blocked out is the ending to what was meant to be the first fic in this chain, the thrill of the fall)

But for all those ideas, all that planning...

I haven't even finished the first fic I truly tried to write.

I actually have so much of it outlined. I even wrote the outlines of the first 2 chapters of the original fic idea that started it all down on paper.

But I haven't written more.

Why?

Turns out, I'm not good at writing long fics. Planning them? Yes. Finishing them? Hell no.

It will be 3 years since I came up with these ideas. I haven't given up hope yet that I might actually get around to writing all those fics one day, but one-shots and event fics have drawn my attention away.

Who knows; maybe I'll finally take another shot once I've finished up more of my posted WIPs.

Howdy, (yes I'm southern) I'm Blue!!! Quick little fact about me: if I don't find some fanfics over 03 Donnie and fast, I'm gonna go fucking feral. Like out in the woods picking berries feral. Literally heart eyes every time I see him. It's marriage on the spot if he ever walks through the door. Like I got the ring already picked out and everything.

Anyways, it would fan fiddly tastic if you could provide me and all my mentally disordered brethren with some hcs over how the 03 boys would be with s/o who has Aspberger's syndrome. Think autism but watered down. If you would like some examples of behaviors and habits that stem from this, just let me know! If you have time for a long shot that would be epicly epic but I get it if a short shot would be easier for you.

Why don't I just right them myself? Next question!

Alrighty drink water and have fun!!!!

Hi Blue! First off, thank you for the explanation on Asperger's! Your information helped me write this fic to the best of my ability to fit your descriptions.

Second off, I'm so sorry this took fucking forever, I'm finally on summer break from the semester omfg. You also told me that the term "aspie" is not derogatory and since I had no idea how to tell the reader that Y/n in this fic has Asperger's, I thought it would be okay to just use "Aspie" when describing the reader in the title. If you don't like it, let me know and I'll switch it out :)

I'm fulfilling requests in the order they are received, which is also one of the reasons I held off on writing at all, because I really had a good idea for this one and wanted to write this first!

I really hope you enjoyed! I'm excited to be back writing!

TMNT 2003!Donnie x Aspie GN!Reader: WeekDay(s) in the Life of Donnie & Y/n

With Donatello getting together with you, he had to get used to a few things. Not that he already wasn’t aware since you were friends before dating, but just some things to keep in mind when it came to you:

1. You got into something new, like, every week. Sometimes, you’d get stuck on one thing and drop the one before. He had to learn how to get up to speed with your interests and hyper-fixations.

Not that it bothered him, but he always wants to understand and learn what and why you’re so hyper-fixated on, even if it meant dropping his lab time to learn about it from you.

2. He has to explain his subtle sarcasm since you usually don’t pick up on it.

As in, if he makes a joke, sarcastic remark, etc, and you don’t understand it, he doesn’t mind taking a step back to explain the syntax and linguistics of why it’s funny to try and get you to laugh

3. Unexplained excitement, he tries to match your energy for things you randomly get excited about, and it includes when you hand flap as well. Common among those with Asperger's, those that become excited hand flap as a stim.

Despite Donnie’s usual quiet nature, he gets excited as well, especially if he has a “breakthrough” in his experiments, so he 100% understands the excitement part.

He already understood most of how Asperger’s worked when it came to you alone and getting to know you more.

It actually surprised him when you asked him to be your boyfriend. He seriously wasn’t expecting that to come out of your mouth.

“Turtles are cute, you’re cute, duh, Don.” He’s sold. He liked you before, but now? How you’re not phased by his appearance? It’s perfect.

In order for Donatello to understand you more, he decided to keep a journal in which he keeps track of everything about you and all about Asperger’s. The reason being, well, he really wanted to know how to be a supportive boyfriend for you!

Here’s a week-long entry from his initial observations, interactions, and thoughts- and guess what? It’s all about you! Cheers to the beginning stages of the relationship!

MONDAY:

In the afternoon, Y/n came into my lab, with the usual antics I would expect. However, I wasn’t sure why they were so excited.

“And then I found out about how they eat their mates, and now I have to ask you, my super smart boyfriend, why?!”

Even though Y/n could have done a quick Google search, I loved that I was asked to answer that instead. It makes me feel included in their excitement, so I try to take part as much as I can. I’m actually not sure what possessed Black Widows to eat their mates, but it’s still pretty messed up. And if this excites Y/n, who am I to not share the reasoning? It’s cute, how excited they can get. I love it.

“Well, um…”

“Isn’t that just a socially acceptable form of cannibalism? Like, why did we make that okay? Or, why aren’t there spider laws in place to protect male widows? Or even….wait, why that look on your face?” Y/n probably thought I was lost, or annoyed even.

I wonder what face I had on that caused Y/n to move on to talking to Mikey instead and hyping him up about justified cannibalism, yet I felt incomplete. But, if Y/n’s mind is moving quickly from topic to topic, person to person, I should wait until they come back to me. In the meantime, generating a long fact sheet about Black Widows for Y/n is on my to-do list.

Maybe I should’ve said how I wasn’t annoyed. In fact, I was intrigued.

Donnie’s Notes:

Y/n’s actually right, Widows are just socially acceptable cannibals

Make a Black Widow fact sheet

Tell Y/n tomorrow that I wasn’t annoyed

Search up potential jokes about Black Widows

TUESDAY:

Today, I thought I’d test the waters with some Black Widow jokes. I’m gonna be honest, I looked them up. There are not many on the internet, and as smart as I am, I sort of lack in the joke department. That’s more Mikey’s thing, anyway.

So when Y/n came into my lab today, I wanted to impress them with my (stolen) joke.

“I actually have a gift for you,”

“Donnie, you really don’t have to get me anything.” Y/n’s typically straightforward and honest, though my gift isn’t materialistic, it’s still of interest to them.

“Why do Widows kill their partners after they mate?” After wiggling my nonexistent eyebrows, I’m still met by Y/n’s usual stoic expression to my jokes or remarks.

“Is this an actual question? I’m not really sure, that’s why I asked you.” Y/n says though I can tell based on the awkward neck scratching that they don’t think for a moment that it could be a joke.

“No, they can’t stand listening to them snoring. Ba dum psh!”

“...”

Okay, not my best joke.

“Sorry you had to sit through that awful joke, but, I made you this-” After printing out the document I wrote up for Y/n, they watch as the paper comes out from the printer. Fresh, the best kind of printer paper.

“It’s a…” After examining the paper for a minute, it ends with Y/n smiling. I added photos, statistics, and everything I could find about Black Widows that Y/n might want to know.

“Wow! Thank you, Donnie! You’re such a smart guy, this really makes up for the horrible joke earlier!” Ouch, but, they’re not wrong. It was an um…shitty joke, to say the least. I should’ve rehearsed it in the mirror.

The rest of the day Y/n was in the Lair consisted of a recall of all the facts on the sheet. We spent our time doing thorough research on the ones that Y/n was particularly interested in. The red mark on the spider’s backs, why they eat their mates, and (for some reason) we went down the rabbit hole of “famous” human cannibals. Upon further research, we learned that if you salt human meat, it actually contracts. It grossed me out but sparked Y/n’s interest. I kind of wanna stop eating pepperoni pizza now. Mushrooms were always my favorite topping, anyway. I was NOT going to make a fact sheet for human cannibalism. In fact, I decided to go with the flow of Y/n’s interests, if we were focused on Black Widows for the week, that’s what we were focused on.

Come to think of it, Y/n has introduced me to many new facts that I never knew about when it came to their interests. Crystals, trees, birds, anything. I’m usually only fixated on science/microbiology, not the bigger things that make up our world. It’s one of the many things I really like about Y/n as a person and as a partner. I’m constantly learning something new despite being a technical genius. Haha, I just called myself a genius, is that narcissistic of me?

WEDNESDAY:

Since today was our group sparring day, Y/n came in the early evening to watch us. Although they’re usually interested in sparring physically, they just didn’t seem up to it, which was fine by Splinter. He was always adamant about observing and learning by watching. Plus, Y/n seemed to be really entertained by our sparring.

I hope I don’t mess up today, I’d hate to feel embarrassed. I think Y/n prefers to watch us since its fewer eyes on them, which is understandable. The center of attention wasn’t always their favorite thing, anyway.

I’m learning more things about Y/n day by day, and writing it down is making it easier to keep up with whatever they’re interested in. Because I was invited to watch a short documentary about Black Widows at Y/n’s apartment, their current interest seems to be just that. Not that I’m bothered, however, Raph seems a little nervous that Y/n’ll somehow find one and bring it down to the Lair to show us. He usually isn’t fazed by their sudden interests, but THIS one got him in a chokehold. I don’t think Y/n would actually find a Widow, though.

~~~

I was…well, embarrassed. Turns out, Mikey had some new move up his sleeve, and body slammed me to the ground. So, so, so embarrassing.

“Woah! You okay, Donnie? Mikey slammed you into next week!” Despite the pain I was in, I still flashed a small smile, to let Y/n know I was fine. They seemed to be really into my safety of the little things. Sparring, during lab experiments, etc. I actually played back the many times I was given a lecture from Y/n about lab safety when they caught me not wearing goggles. I wear them all the time now.

THURSDAY:

It’s day 4 of Black Widows. I decided to set up a docu night in my lab with Y/n. It included their favorite movie snacks (Y/n gave me a list just in case I planned something like this and was unsure of what to get them) as well as mine. Though I’m not sure if I can stomach a Widow eating its mate, I’ll endure it for Y/n’s sake.

Y/n loved the documentary. It’s a trend I’ve noticed when I began to date them. Whatever we did didn’t matter, as long as we were both interested in what we were doing and doing it together. These past few days I’ve learned a lot just from Y/n’s sudden interest that I'm beginning to enjoy it equally as much. I wonder if I can find other media that might excite them.

I had the urge to cuddle Y/n, though I only acted on it after the documentary. I thought I’d be distracting, only for them to tell me they were waiting for me too.

I hope Mikey (or worse, Raph) doesn’t find this, but I seriously got butterflies when I had them in my arms. I held a loose grip, just in case Y/n felt restricted in any way, but they seemed to enjoy it. Plus, if they didn’t, they would’ve told me.

FRIDAY:

Nothing much out of the ordinary happened today.

(that's a lie)

Y/n actually asked to kiss me today before leaving. Which I don’t think I was ready for. Sure, I’ve been thinking about kissing them, but I wasn’t sure how to do it or ask. But Y/n- blunt as they are- straight up asked. I think that’s one of the great contrasts between me and Y/n. It’s in their nature to just say what’s on their mind or be blunt. Straightforwardness doesn’t come easy to me, but I find it to be beneficial when it comes to our relationship so far. Though we’re still in the beginning month of our relationship, I think a way I’m stepping out of my comfort zone is being with Y/n- who appears to be the polar opposite of me in terms of socialness. I’m more reserved or to myself, usually talking when spoken to, or if something’s really important that I have to share.

I admire that part of Y/n- even if they aren’t aware of it. I could really work on saying what’s on my mind more.

So when Y/n asked out of nowhere if they could kiss me, why would I refuse? Of course, I wanted to!

And you know what, little journal? It was amazing. My first kiss and it was with someone special.

Donnie’s Notes:

Quickly yet informatively, I’m learning more and more about Y/n and how Asperger’s affects them every day. I’m learning that it’s okay to be extremely giddy and excited over something in my lab, knowing Y/n would love to hear about it and geek out with me too. I’m learning that Y/n genuinely enjoys my lab, and finds something new in it every day to ask me about since it’s always changing and growing. They enjoy what I have to say, and if it comes down to it, we could go weeks straight talking to each other about whatever interests us. I learned that whenever Y/n gets really excited when talking, they do this gesture with their hands- and when I asked- it’s called hand flapping. A response to when their mind gets excited and their body has to show it. It’s adorable, just like them.

And that, dear readers, was Donnie’s week-long journal entry about you.

Though he’d literally take this to the grave, it’s nice knowing that Donatello takes an interest in you as a person and your personality, understanding how you operate and continuously attempting to match your energy.

2003 Donnie is extremely pensive; constantly wanting to do new things or learn new things

So, what better way than to do it with his S/O, who ALSO has a constant need for excitement in new information or concepts?

Needless to say, dating Donatello entails that you will not be disappointed! Donnie is peaceful, has a thirst for knowledge, becomes hyper-fixated on little inventions, loves learning new things, and loves a S/O who can have the same multitude of interests as him (even more!)

Chapter 2 : Unlucky In Love

You hate Monday, I mean who doesn't! Waking up in the morning is the worst and when you can't enjoy the Sunday because of all the homework and the assignments your teacher asked you to do is even more worse. But then you didn't hate school , you didn't love it either.

You took a deep breath and then entered your classroom. You have gotten familiar with your classmates in the last 2 months and you made a lot of friends. There were 3 girls in your class, who became your close friends, Kang Seoyun, Kim Hayun and Yang Nari.

Though you love your new friends a lot, it didn't stop you from missing Sunoo like crazy, you missed his company a lot, even though you both texted each other everyday, you still felt incomplete.

"Y/n! Come sit with me!" Seoyun shouted. You nodded immediately and took the seat beside her.

"Did you do the math homework?" Hayun asked.

"Yeah, it was pretty easy tho" You gave her your copy.

"I'm just dumb I guess" Hayun was scanning through your copy looking impressed.

Soon the class begins, first literature, then Art, then Mathematics.

"I hope everyone has completed their homework, if you haven't, please get up and go out of my class" Mr.Kim said.

"I hate Mr.Kim so much" Seoyun whispered into your ear. You agreed with her.

"Miss Song Yn and Mr.Park Sunghoon , why don't you do the equations on the board? Let's see how fast you can solve the equations?"

Sunghoon and Jay are from the same friend group and it seems that they are pretty close, they always stick together. Jay is a member of the school football team whereas Sunghoon is in the Basketball team. So practice is the only time then they are not together (yes u might third wheel later)

You got up from your seat. And Sunghoon is one of the Class toppers. Fuck. You are so doomed. You got up from your seat, took a chalk and started analysing the equation. Sunghoon did the same. You started solving the equation and peeked at what Sunghoon was doing, he hasn't even started yet! You will definitely complete it faster than him.

" Sir I have completed the equation! " Sunghoon said.

What the HELL!! how did he solve it do fast, you are only half way way done.

"Well done Sunghoon, you always reach my expectations!" Mr. Kim patted Sunghoon on the back.

"I'm done too!" You huddled back to your seat.

The class got over soon.

It was lunch after a few classes, hallways were filled with hungry students.

"I want tteokbokki!" You said looking at today's lunch menu.

"They are serving chocolate cake for dessert?!?" Seoyun eyes lit up as she saw her favourite food on the menu. She loves chocolate cake, who doesn't?

"Oh my god Oh my god!! Best day ever!!! " Nari exclaimed.

"Yn!"

You turned around to see Park Sunghoon, THE PARK SUNGOON waving at you. Weird.

" Yeah?"

"Will you come to see today's Basketball match? It's after school"

"Of course I know it's after school and I don't think I will be able to attend it"

"You should come!! It's gonna be so fun!"

"I'll try"

You did go to see the basketball match and it was pretty fun. And you tried something you never thought you would.

And that was just the start of the chaotic friendship of you, Sunghoon ( and Jay , he is basically third wheeling).

Sunghoon just couldn't leave you, he followed you everywhere, LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. And you loved his company, even though you said you didn't. You also got used to Jay accompanying you and Sunghoon. It made you move on from Sunoo and you fell for Sunghoon.

Then came 9th grade and you needed to tell Sunghoon your feelings and you did and he rejected you kindly saying that he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now but that didn't ruin your friendship, you two grew even more close, and you kinda moved on from him. No you didn't. Sunoo's absence was killing you but now you rarely texted eachother.

Then came two new students Lee Heeseung and Nishimura Riki, Niki for short but only his close ones called him that.

Lee Heeseung was just so perfect!! You dream boyfriend. (Your new crush) You and him had a few conversations and you were over the moon. (Sunghoon wasn't really happy with you simping over a new guy but he said nothing)

You and Heeseung talked to eachother almost everyday but then a rumour started about Heeseung having a crush on some gurl from your class. Your heart broke AGAIN. You need to move on again and Sunghoon was beyond happy.

Then you decided to never fall for a guy that easily, You were unsuccessful. you stuck to your plan of not falling in love for a few months but then Jay got a little too attractive for you. He was a gentleman, he can cook, he plays guitar, he can sing, he has the face of a Greek god and an attractive jaw line, what else could a girl ask for. How does he not have a girlfriend? You fell for him hard and that's how 9th grade ended , you said simping over Jay , Jay being clueless and Sunghoon being jealous.

4 months into 10th grade and you found out that Jay does have a girlfriend. Sunghoon said that her name is Aroura and Jay met her during his trip to New York. You asked Jay and it was true. You were unlucky in love ig.

Seoyun, Hayun and Nari were slowly getting tired of this situation they decided to set you up with Jungwon on a blind date. Yang jungwon was your classmate, he was pretty and popular, known for his kind personality and charming cat-like face.

The date was going well , you were enjoying it. A LOT.

"Yn I'm sorry" Jungwon started. Oh no.

" I was kinda forced by Seoyun to go on a date with you. Don't get me wrong! You're amazing and pretty but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship" He got up and left. You sat there heartbroken. AGAIN. You were definitely unlucky in love.

Seoyun was angry. You were crying. Nari was feeding you ice cream and Hayun was making ramyeon for you. You called Sunghoon and told him everything,he comforted you and told you he was coming to your place to watch a movie with you and get you a little distracted.

Soon holidays started, you decided you don't need a boy to be happy.

Weeks before school reopens you decide to go to the park for some fresh air. Just as you were enjoying the nature, noticed Sum Jaeyun aka Jake, your classmate, playing with little kids. He must be good with kids. Just like that you fell for him.

You spend the rest of the holidays simping over him.

Later you found out that Sunoo is going to join Decelis High.

Sunoo and Sunghoon became close friends. Sunghoon assured you that he would never leave you. Sunoo and you also started to talk again.

Just like that 10th grade also added and you successfully moved on from Jake in 11th grade. Your new crush is Nishimura Riki,he is in the basketball team with Sunghoon, your prince charming.

Have you finally found your soulmate?

A Manchester Affair (Rúben Dias): Chapter 4

Chapter 3

Chapter 5

Masterlist

Wattpad

Monday night was the day United finally got their first win, against none other than Liverpool. The team made a huge statement with their performance and Lucía felt like she could finally breathe a little easier.

“¡Vamos!”, she heard Licha scream before he lifted her in a hug.

She laughed and patted him on the head. “Too bad you’re too small for the Premier League, huh?”

He joined her in laughing at all the ridiculous pundits that had spent so many hours debating his height and then made her way to the dressing room. Today there will be cheers, no yelling from Erik.

She high-fived the players one by one and they all seemed to be warming up to her. Slowly, she was building a good relationship with them.

One that was definitely on the fast track to becoming a friend was Scott. After he opened up to her about the rough moment he was going through at the club, she saw a side of him not many people got to see. And ever since, they’ve been opening up to each other more and more. He also stopped flirting with her, which she was thankful for.

His good performance tonight made her very happy, especially since it took place moments after the club presented Casemiro to the crowd. She shouldn’t, but she felt a slight bias against the new player even though he hadn’t done anything wrong.

“Good match, McTominay”, she said to him as they were both making their way to their cars.

“Thanks! I feel like you are a big reason why things went so well, and not just for me”, he said, putting his arm around her shoulder.

“Well, I’m here to help. It wouldn’t be so weird”, she laughed.

“I know, I know. I didn’t mean that. I mean that you are having a good impact on the boys, even if some don’t show it. They respect you. And a few of the younger lads fear you”.

“Good”.

He shook his head. “And as for me, I know that our chats have helped me. So thank you”.

“If you score a goal soon, dedicate it to me”, she said, giving his side a little nudge with her elbow.

“We’ll need to brainstorm a celebration, then”.

Once she made it to her car, an idea came to her mind.

“Would you like to have dinner at my place one of these days?”

He seemed to be taken aback by the comment.

“As friends”, she laughed. “And I won’t tell Erik. Don’t worry”.

He laughed too. “I’d love to”.

When she made it home, she finally checked her phone. Many of her friends from Amsterdam congratulated her on the win. She really missed some of them and made a mental note to think of a quick trip there when she had some days off. Maybe during the international break.

There was also a text from Rúben, congratulating her and telling her how much he wanted to be there with her right now. He was actually one of the first people that came to her mind when the match ended. It really would have been good to celebrate with him.

So she closed her eyes to bring back memories of Rúben. Imagining he was right there with her. And she could swear she was hearing his voice whispering in her ear.

Afterwards, when she was freshly showered and on her way to bed, she got another message from him, promising to make it up to her for not being there today when he was back.

She fell asleep with a silly smile on her face. Today was a great day, even if she feared it could be the beginning of the end when she woke up that morning.

The mood at Carrington went from 0 to 100 after getting the first win. Everyone was chatting about it, sharing jokes and just happy. It was nice for a change.

"Ok boys, no insults for you today. You actually did well yesterday", she said, giving them a comical thumbs up.

They all laughed.

"So, we are going to be testing you every month. Checking weight, body fat, and so on. We do it all before breakfast and if any of you needs a personalized plan, you'll be getting a call to my office this week".

The smiles disappeared but there weren't as many frowns as expected. Progress.

"Shirt off", she told Scott. "I need to measure your impressively strong muscles".

"I bet you tell that to all the players", he said, making her laugh.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Erik looking at them both.

"You know, I have a date tonight".

"Really Scotty? Who's the lucky lady?"

"Just someone I met recently. She's really pretty, though".

She looked around to see if Erik was still there. No, he was gone. "As pretty as me?", she joked.

"Almost".

She then kept working in silence. "What about you?"

"What about me?", she asked.

"Are you seeing someone?"

"It's um…complicated".

"How?", he laughed.

"I only broke up with my ex 5 months ago and I'm still not over his cheating, you know?"

"Sorry", he said, holding her hand for a couple of seconds.

"It's fine", she told him, smiling at his kindness. "I actually met this guy and…we kind of like decided to just see each other, no strings attached".

"Doesn't sound like you are too happy with that plan. Was it his idea?"

"It was mine, actually. Not that there's anything wrong with it but it's just not something I do. But I can't fully trust anyone right now so…I'm just trying to protect myself, I guess".

"He's a lucky boy anyways", he said with a wink and moved on to talking about his date at her request. She was glad for the change of conversation. They were both starting to really understand each other and when to stop talking about certain things to not push the other too much.

A couple of hours later, she was done adding all the data to her computer and was happy to see not much work needed to be done. A knock on the door broke her concentration.

"Hey, you free to talk?", she heard Erik say.

"Of course, coach. Come in!"

"You seem different".

"How?", she laughed.

"I mean your behaviour. It's been different since we moved here".

"Do you have a problem with the way I work?", she asked him, worried.

"No, you are still the extremely professional woman I've always known. I meant your relationship with the players, Lu. Has your opinion changed? It's fine if it has".

"You are going to have to spell it out for me".

"Scott. You like him and we can all see it. You're not being discreet. And I thought you didn't want to date footballers after what happened".

Her mood darkened at the memory of what Erik mentioned. When she first worked for Bayern, still in university, she got a lot of attention from the academy players. She was excited about it, thinking that getting attention from a footballer was the best thing that could happen…until a player from the first team asked to talk with her and told her he had heard the academy boys talking about her. She quickly worried about them spreading rumours about her, but that wasn't what he meant. He was talking about them betting about her. To see who was the first one who could get her to sleep with him. It was a horrible lesson she had to learn, but ever since, she made sure there was a clear line drawn between her and the players. She was not going to be disrespected like that again.

"I appreciate your concern but it's nothing like that. Scott and I are friends. We joke, yes. And to some, it might be flirty banter just because we are a man and a woman, but it's not. Besides, he knows I'm seeing someone else", she said quickly, looking back at the screen so she wouldn't see Erik's expression.

"Are you? Who is it? Are you being careful?"

"Yes, dad".

"Come on, Lucy, you know why I worry".

"I know, and it's not even serious. It's just a casual thing".

He frowned at that. "Then I don't want any more details, thank you".

She shook her head and laughed.

“But be careful. I don’t want to see you hurt again”.

“I will”.

And then her mind went back to Rúben. He was a footballer but from another team. Did that count? She barely thought about him as what his job was, maybe that's why her own rules didn't matter. She just hoped he wasn't like the others and ended up hurting her.

When Thursday finally arrived, Lucía was fidgety all day, waiting for Rúben to be back. She knew he was flying back to Manchester in the morning, but he had a busy day of training and doing interviews. So they wouldn’t be able to see each other until late evening.

Rúben: Maybe you can come to my place this time. Order some food?

Lucía: Sounds great! What time should I be there?

Rúben: Around 8. I’ll let you know if I’m running late.

Lucía: 😚

She didn’t really know how to approach this. Was it a date? He was talking about food but maybe that was the friends part of the whole thing. So, should she put a lot of effort into how she looked?

Ugh, why was this so complicated?

At 8.05, she made her way out of her apartment. Just enough to not be too late, but she also wouldn't look too eager. Her nerves kept getting worse as she got up the stairs. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.

Not longer than 10 seconds later, the door opened. Seeing Rúben only made her more nervous, so she did the only thing she could do. What had worked between them so far was sex. So this time it was her who started it, not giving him time to react. This she could do. She’ll worry about the friends part, and what that might mean, later.

“I think our food is cold now”, said Rúben when they were both back in the kitchen.

“That’s what microwaves are for”, she laughed.

She sat on the counter while he took the food to heat it up and seeing this more domestic side of him brought back the nerves. Why was she reacting like that to something so simple?

“What are you thinking about?”, said Rúben, lifting her chin so she would look at him.

“Nothing”.

“You sure?”

She could see him trying to study her face, which didn’t help. So she grabbed the back of his head to bring him closer to her and kissed him. She could feel him resisting a little at first, clearly not happy with how she finished the conversation before it even started, but he quickly kissed her back.

The microwave started to beep, letting them know the food was ready, but neither of them cared. When the doorbell rang, however, they did need to stop.

“Rúben!”, they heard the voice behind the door saying.

“Who’s that?”, she whispered.

“Jack”, he sighed.

“Ok, I’ll go get dressed while you open the door”, she said, running towards the room. “Wait!”, she noticed she was wearing Rúben’s t-shirt, so she took it off quickly and threw it to him so he could wear it.

Once she was back in her own clothes, she flushed the toilet to make it sound like she was there for that reason.

“Jack, hi!”, she said, faking a cheerful tone when she got back to the living room area.

“Hi, did I interrupt something?”, he asked, looking at them both.

“No”, she answered too quickly, “we were catching up and about to have dinner. Rúben wanted to tell me about your trip to Barcelona”.

“Oh, I have so many anecdotes. I’ll tell you”.

Great.

“No need for that, I’m sure you had plans already”.

“No”, he said smiling and walking towards the sofa. When she looked at Rúben, she could see how annoyed he was at his teammate.

An hour later, her face was similar to Rúben’s. Jack didn’t stop talking and telling them about all the things they did the last couple of days.

“I need to go guys. It’s almost bedtime for me”, she said, getting up from the sofa and grabbing her shoes.

“Oh, I’ll walk out with you”, said Jack.

“I thought you came here to see Rúben”.

“Yeah…I forgot why I came to see him, actually”, he laughed. And if looks could kill, Jack would be more than dead right now.

When she got back to her apartment, she texted Rúben.

Lucía: Don’t kill Jack at training tomorrow, please.

Rúben: He’s lucky he’s injured and we won’t be in the same place.

That made her laugh. Their first kind of date had been a bit of a disaster. Even though she thought that this no-commitment situation worked in her favour, since she still felt her heart healing, it disappointed her to see that being the only part of this relationship that seemed to work. She knew she wanted to get to know Rúben properly but it scared her too much. She wasn’t ready to give her heart to someone new.

Stockholm Week 10: Grind Before Barcelona

Hi! I can’t believe that it’s already the end of March. Isn’t that crazy? It still feels like late February to me.

I’m bringing this up because my trip to Barcelona is coming up real fast. I am leaving on the 27th when the Explorative Travel Week begins! We get a week off as a travel break; certain elective courses travel as a class during that week, but I am not in any of those electives so I get a week off from school. Hurray!

The number 1 country I wanted to travel to was Spain, and I am finally going there next week. That also means that this week has been rough, catching up with all the homework and finishing up projects before the break.

3/18 Mon: (the best news) Class Canceled!

On Monday, the only class I had switched to online at the last minute due to traffic issues.

I took the opportunity to call my boyfriend and my mom while I worked on my assignments the entire day. I slept earlier than usual, around 11 pm, to treat myself :)

3/19 Tue: Spicy Uno

We have been watching this Netflix series called The Chestnut Man in the Scandinavian Crime Fiction class, and I have been on my nerves since the start of the show. The plot and the music interact too well to the point that I have to cover my ears and close my eyes every now and then. I hate horror movies but I would say this is an extremely well-played thriller/detective show. I recommend it to anyone who likes mystery/crime genre!

When I’m at home, I always have to try very hard to refrain from watching the rest of the episodes on my own. It has been a difficult battle but I made it to the 5th episode (out of 7) without binge-watching it alone.

I didn’t know (and wouldn’t have known) that crime fiction was so popular in the Scandinavian region before I took this class. I can see why it’s so famous; all the books and films are quite good! I always look forward to starting a new book or series in class. This course has been my absolute favorite class in Stockholm :)

During lunchtime, I surprisingly met a new friend who’s going to Barcelona on the same day!!! She and her friend booked their flight yesterday, so I never heard about them when I was asking everyone if they’d like to join our Barcelona trip. The most surprising part was that her friend turned out to be my friend who always sat next to me in two classes! We exchanged numbers to talk more about the trip.

Afterward, I went to Arkivet, a second-hand store on the higher end. There are high-quality clothes that are in good condition—all the way from H&M and Zara to COS, BOSS, and Coach. Although it is a bit more expensive than other stores like Myrona or Stockholm Stadsmission, the pool is much better in my opinion. I bought a Tommy Hilfiger trench coat for $70!

There are so many buttons on this coat

Happy with my purchase, I came back home and made Alfredo pasta for dinner. I have been CRAVING creamy pasta and it momentarily satisfied my yearning. I need to go to an Italian restaurant and get a good alfredo spaghetti soon.

I threw some chicken and sausage in there too :)

That night, my friends and I all gathered around my room to play Spicy Uno. My friend taught us the extra rules and it was a lot more fun than I expected. Towards the end, we even incorporated Never Have I Ever into the game (ง˙∇˙)ว

After they all left, I couldn’t sleep right away because of the sugar rush from all the goodies we ate (ice cream, jellies, chips, chocolate bars, and wafers).

I blame this sugar rush for the catastrophe that happened a few minutes later.

I was peacefully putting on a new set of fake nails until the nail glue fell down on my joggers. I can definitely say that it was an exothermic reaction because where the glue spilled was hot. Thankfully, I was able to separate my pants from my thighs by lifting it up a little bit, but my pants did not survive the accident.

Picture that captures the moment of the tragic incident

If anyone knows how to remove nail glue on clothes please let me know ( •́ ̯•｡̀ )

3/20 Wed: Skansen Open-Air Museum!

Today’s field trip for our Swedish class was Skansen, the world’s first open-air museum!

The escalator was endless and the area of the museum was unparalleled to any other museums I visited. We had a full experience with the tour guide—we even got to go into houses from the 1700s and see reindeer!

Us inside the houses

More cool photos:

Some cool facts:

Going to church was obligatory: people were officially tested on their bible knowledge and the answers were recorded!

Each house was numbered (well over two thousand pieces for each house), deconstructed, relocated, and reconstructed in the museum!

After free fika with the entire class, my friend and I hung out around T-Centralen. We went to cafes, second-hand stores (again), and the system. We headed back to the hog together.

For the rest of the night, I worked on the insurmountable group project for my online ChemE class until 4 am… ;)

3/21 Thu: Reeeaaaading

I woke up early to do the pre-lecture homework for the classes. Despite dozing off for a few minutes here and there, I finished the assignment!

For Friday’s class, I started and finished reading half of The Wolf and the Watchman by Niklas Natt och Dag. I’m starting to spot the similarities in the settings of the crime fiction novels!

3/22-3/23 Fri-Sat: Zoom Meetings

I devoted two whole days to working on the group project. I had a series of Zoom sessions with the Professor and then with teammates.

Cooking and doing laundry was my time off from work!

When I was done with the project around 11 pm Saturday, I started scavenging for English-guided tours for Barcelona. The tickets were rapidly selling out!

I managed to get an English tour of Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. They were expensive, but when would I ever have the chance to visit Spain? With that mindset, I joyfully paid for the events.

3/24 Sun: Planning Barcelona..

My body weighed 200 tons today and wouldn’t have gotten out of bed until 2 pm if it wasn’t for the Barcelona planning meeting I scheduled with my friends.

We met at Downtown Camper Cafe in T-Centralen and stayed there for three hours, making reservations and finalizing schedules. We are ready to fly to Barcelona!

The bathroom was fancy

Again, when I got home, I cooked and did more homework.

Tada!

With the energy I gained from dinner, I was able to work on the group project until I got burnt out at 9 pm. I called my mom for a little (meaning 1.5 hours) and did some more work before going to sleep.

I am SO excited to share my experience in Barcelona next week!

Stay tuned for new, rejuvenating adventures coming soon!!!

Tack,

Jiwoo Kim

Rant about people during the pandemic

I’ve always been a person who hosts game nights or holiday themed events and I do it in my one bedroom apartment lol but the last one I hosted was a New Year’s party in 2019 going into 2020 and every time I thought to host after that I wasn’t in the mood really or my friends were spread out all over and there’s always the looming anxiety that someone is gonna show up sick.

I finally hosted again last night a Grinch Game Night so that everyone could see my Whoville decorations up close and someone did show up sick 😀 I’m crossing my fingers that what she had was just a regular cold 😀

She didn’t say anything ahead of time and she had already been there for so long before she started talking about how on Christmas she did go with her bf to visit his parents and I already knew that his parents were sick with Covid so I’m sure I made a face bc why did y’all go?? Okay it’s Christmas but they have Covid it’s okay to NOT GO INTO THEIR HOUSE AND SIT WITH THEM! She was like oh yeah they were all masked up okay whatever and then later goes on to say how her bf is staying with her rn and she went to go sleep in her guest room bc he’s so congested 😀😀 and each night he comes to find her anyway 😀 like y’all went to see his parents and now he’s congested 😀😀 and you’re in the same house with him and you came to mine ??? 😀 WHY? And she even tried to bring him asking me if my game night was co Ed and I was like no bc I don’t have any guys friends lol but she would’ve brought his congested ass to the game night ??? And she coughed a few times and drank water so I thought it was just idek 😩 a dry throat or something

I had my windows open and my HEPA air purifier going so I’m hoping that was enough and I lysoled everything as soon as she left. It’s just like 😩 why are people like this?? This wasn’t going to be the game night of the century it’s okay to say you’re not feeling well and stay home! I literally haven’t gone anywhere while I was feeling any kind of symptoms and it’s not hard at all! Don’t even think anyone remembers smh and then it puts me in the horrible position of having to be a bitch about it bc what was I supposed to even do in that situation? Slap a mask on her and kick her out? Probably 😭 I literally don’t know how I would do that.

I’m also the only one of not just my friends but family and people I know that still wears a mask to places and they tell me stories of sick people around them and sick coworkers coming into the office and how they “hope” they don’t catch anything but it’s like …just wear the mask and you won’t catch anything 🙄

A couple weeks ago my aunt was telling me how sick she felt on Wednesday and how she felt sick on Monday and Tuesday and she had showed up unmasked to my apt Sunday to have coffee with me and I’m like 😩😩 BROOO and she kept saying how “it’s the AC at work that is making her cough” I tell her that’s not a thing and tell her to take a Covid test she’s like oh she doesn’t have any….so I had to bring her tests and then she was like I HAVE to stay with her to take it bc she doesn’t know how to do it and I was wearing my N95 bc I know her and that positive line was so dark so fast smh and she still had the audacity to say “the AC activated the Covid on me” like wtf are you even talking about?? 🙄 meanwhile she works in a doctors office wearing those thin blue masks that she claims suffocate her and idek if she wears them all day for real or if she just says that to me bc she knows how I feel about masks and then she went unmasked to Christmas caroling at her church and it’s now two weeks later and she’s still feeling sick and testing positive (she’s also unvaxed and thinks saying in Jesus name is enough 🙄) and she has to go get groceries so I tell her to wear a real mask and not that useless ass blue one and she goes I don’t have any masks 🙄 of course you don’t it’s been 3 years of her taking a handful of my masks bc she refuses to get her own and she finally bought some KF94s and some N95s but why did it take you getting Covid and seeing that it’s not a joke to buy your own masks?? idek I’m just so turned off by everyone.

And by no means am I like a perfect mask wearer like I still go out to restaurants and clubs but I don’t go to the bigger ones anymore and I use my nasal spray for the time that I’m there and that’s been working for me so far. Sometimes I forget to put one on in the Uber but most times I have mine on the driver puts theirs on too so that’s nice. And I was traveling earlier this month and sooooo many people were coughing ugly coughs unmasked echoing each other and had the nerve to look at me weird for wearing a mask like they’re not a walking test tube of illnesses 🥴

I just don’t understand what the problem is like is it denial?? Delusion?? Fear?? None of it makes any sense to me bc if you’re afraid why not take precautions? If you’re gonna feel embarrassed and keep your sickness a secret why not take precautions? Also why claim that your Covid symptoms are these random ass illnesses instead of just taking a test and finding out? The entire 3 years only one person recently has been sick and thought it was Covid and it was actually bronchitis. Everyone else I know that’s been sick over the 3 years has been sick with Covid. One person I know refused to take a test bc they were sure it wasn’t Covid even after listing all the symptoms and was like “actually it’s just a summer flu” mmmm I doubt it bc you just came back from a work conference 🙄 I even have a friend who works at a daycare and no one masks and they are sick at least once a month bc they catch whatever random virus these kids are carrying that week and they act like that’s just life and there’s nothing they can do about it smh

I guess I’m just tired of being the only one.

"Hi Watermelonsmellinfellon!

I know what it's like to be homeless, especially with this inflation BS. The gist of what I shared was about gig work, specifically UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub, etc. While the latter two take a while to be approved, UberEats is pretty quick, you just provide a picture of your drivers license and vehicle registration/insurance. I got approved in about 5 days, but some people get approved even sooner. Most of the time you pull up to a fast food/normal restaurant and pick up food that is already bagged up and ready to be delivered. The main thing is getting a insulated bag to hold the food in. Then you drive to the customers address and drop it off. Doing those dropoffs should help you all get money for gas quicker. You can link your debt/bank account for payouts. If you do instant payout it will take $0.85, otherwise there is no charge for automatic payments on Monday's. I definitely recommend looking at YouTube videos under 'gig work', 'First day with UberEats', etc.

Also, another thing that could help you and your family is looking at the Facebook and Craigslist marketplace listings for houses/trailers. I have seen plenty of trailers or rooms for rent for under $1,400. Sometimes even if you qualify for it, the state run programs just can't help, you have to find a place for you, and your family. I also wanted to mention Amazon has a section for submitting your own fanfiction/stories under there Kindle Direct Program (KDP). Pretty much everything is free to use it, you only get charged a fee for selling a story or book. Also, the reviews for books can be kind of brutal.:/

Finally, have you considered using Airbnb? There are many options depending on how long you would like to stay while waiting for a spot to open. I lived for half a year with my mom at a condo by the beach with 3 beds, free wifi, and washer/dryer for about $4-5,000 all together. I don't know where you are in that state, but from doing a quick check I came across an affordable condo in Maryland, Ocean City for $1,427 based on if you checked in tomorrow until 3/18 next year. The guy who is listing it is called Nicholas. I don't personally know him, but on the listing it does say long stays are allowed, free washer in dryer in unit, and 3 bedrooms with four baths. There are plenty of other listings like that as well, I don't mind trying to help you through online searching to find a place you guys could stay. Getting a place this time of year tends to be cheaper as well in the more seaside areas as it's off the 'peak' seasons.

I don't know how to use Tumblr, but I think there's a way to add each other and talk through it? We can keep talking through here if you want. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.O.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was left as a comment on my new fic where I did not even mention that I'm homeless because it's a new fic in a ship that my readers don't care about so it'll probably only be seen by new people who won't give a damn about my personal problems.

I deleted the comment but saved the contents because the intentions were good even if the execution was terrible. And it's also incredibly difficult to maintain composure and a pleasant attitude when you become irrationally pissed off all of a sudden.

One thing that needs to be made clearer. I can't get a job. Why? Mom is too disabled to be by herself for any period of time. And when even Dave cannot get a job because even the businesses around who will look past his knee brace won't accept a P.O. Box and want you to be living in a house with an address, I know I have no chance in hell cuz I'm in the same boat. That's why I started Ko-Fi.

Mom is disabled. She gets benefits from that. With Dave jobless because of his knee, we've been knocked down from a $18K yearly family, to an $8K yearly family. To put it into perspective, to qualify for housing in half of Delaware, their idea of the poverty level is a family of 4(1 child, 3 adults) making a minimum of $25K yearly. We are nowhere near that and because of that, we don't qualify for low income housing.

As for Craigslist and FB, they simply cannot be trusted. We've already done the promised 'meet-ups' and searching through both sites and it's all scams. And Dave falls for every single one and give's mom's phone number to every damn person he talks to and she's gets nothing but scam calls all day long(we know they're scams cuz when she calls back suddenly the number is no longer in service or doesn't exist anymore).

Airbnb is for people who make at least five figures a year. Mom did look into it under Bethy's pleading and for the size of our family and the specifics as well, everything was over $2K a month. Even when she lessened up on specifics, they either stayed that price or listings stopped appearing. We also can't leave Delaware because while Bethy's case worker is no longer hounding us, the case isn't closed yet. Something Dave cannot seem to grasp. We can't leave or mom and Dave will get in trouble.

The Amazon thing seems worth a try but honestly Patreon seems like it'd be easier.

I've already explained the van's condition and so that's out as an option too.

Son of Bitch 3: The Most Predictable Thing Imaginable

Saturdays at the pharmacy are typically stupidly boring. Despite the store looking like a Black Friday from when the sales were worth getting out of bed for the pharmacy is typically pretty slow because most doctor's offices are closed.

During the day, my coworker called Son of Bitch guy. She left a message on his voicemail that we didn't have his medication and it would be in and ready Tuesday. Why not Monday? Because there are no deliveries because our suppliers want the holiday off nearly as much as I do.

Fast forward to after our lunch hour.

Son of Bitch guy comes in, waits for the person in front of him, then proceeds to begin berating the cashier because he drove all the way in to get it and it wasn't ready and he had no idea.

The cashier comes back to get the manager, who is literally any pharmacist at any time, but unfortunately we have the new(ish) pharmacist that can't handle confrontation (and has been caught lying about things he has/hasn't done for work.)

Her next stop is to me, because she knows I have history with the guy.

I walk out and he starts with "Son of Bitch get me my [medication.]"

"Shut up."

"Son of Bitch I said -"

"And I said "shut up. One more word. One more. I'll have you banned again and this time you can find another place to shop. Try me."

He ponders this a moment. This is not normal retail where by now a manager would be fondling his balls and whispering in his ear about a coupon.

No, he has "fucking fire me about it" retail.

I tell him to meet me at the consultation area and we'll talk about his stuff. His account gets pulled up, and his phone number read to him. He confirms this is his number.

"Did you check your voicemail?"

"I shouldn't have to! You should have the [medication.]"

"That's not reality. The reality is we called you to let you know it was out. We have your correct number on file. We left a voicemail. Use it."

And with this, he gave me a hale and hearty "fuck you" and stormed off.

Fair enough.

I was midway through writing the "hostile workplace environment" e-mail regarding his behavior when a call came in from Walgreens, transferring everything he had on file. Of special note was the medication he was so upset about today, which they also did not have.

The pharmacist let them know about his behavior so they could be prepared.

They will not be prepared.

I ruined the word THIS for potato. Now she associates it with the word PENIS. Evil is a labor of love with me. Also: Send her asks with things like "THIS JUST IN" and "THIS IS ENORMOUS" to watch her brain melt. -J

TGIWednesday: What the leak are you talking about?

TGIWednesday News 📰

In Florida our summers are something you just endure. 🌡️ Never had an issue with the water bill before. I cringed when I watched my little girlfriend spray the hose in the air while the birds flew through the mist. Sure enough, it nearly doubled! I called the lovely folks at the water company that said they would re-read the meter. 🚰 The man came out, glanced at the meter and left a tag on our front door that the meter was moving and concluded that we had a leak. Thank God for video cameras everywhere 📷 because we could see how fast he haphazardly decided that. I spoke with a fast talking know-it-all at the utility that said, "You probably have a leak somewhere for it to do that." We checked every toilet, sink and shower - all of which were bone dry. I went out to check the meter myself and chuckled when I had to dust off the cover just to even read any numbers at all!!! 🔢 Wowza, what a joke! Will I be raising cane again tomorrow? Of course. 😒 When dealing with relationships with folks like these you have to document things like you're registering for a patent, remain calm and persistent!

May I ask what the reason was as for why you failed? That sounds fucked up. I’m sorry that happened to you :(

okay so for my college, it's a fast-tracked program so we have very specific hours that the facilities gives us and it's very limited. like it's unbelievably strict. the rules state that if you miss these specifically given dates and times, you have let the professors and deans know and the deans will gather together and make a decision on whether or not you're allowed to make it up on another day. they don't really allow oversleeping as excuse, this is a big thing in my reason why i missed it, but overall, that's the basics of it.

so what happened to me last week on monday was that the night before, i did not set my alarms to the correct day. i usually set a lot, over 7 of them or so, and they were all set for tuesday (which is another day for my classes). my alarms didn't ring and i overslept by 15 mins from when i was supposed to be there. one of my cohort members called me and that finally woke me up, that's when i realized i was late. i did try getting there but due to the rules, you can't come in late either (kinda like a job ig) so i was told to stay home and that's when i started signing forms and such to try and argue my case. i argued my case by saying that i was extremely exhausted prior, which is true, i take care of my dad in the morning and afternoon because my mom is at work and my sister was at school, so i'm usually the one that has to take care of him all the time. since that's my daily morning routine, i usually finish my hw or study or have really any time to myself during the night and that's when it started to pile up and lead to this situation.

there's like 4 deans in all, 3 of them are assistants to the main dean and that main dean decided that i wasn't legible of making the day up. unfortunately today during my final day in the facility, that's when the dean came in and dropped the news on me so yeah, that's what happened. WHICH ALSO SUCKS BTW CAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER EXAM FOR ANOTHER TEST IN TWO DAYS AND NOW I'M EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED AND CAN'T FOCUS LIKE THANKS FOR NOTHING 😭😭

shitty situation and i can't really do anything about it now since the decision has now been already set in place, but i just really wanted to graduate alongside them.

This car was discontinued after was used only a few times as a pace car and it was the Spanish and not our Spanish. They did not want to use because it looks so much like they're super car and they shut it down and they're still shutting it down. You don't need to build a new frame it's almost the same car as the charger or Challenger you need to have a cage but it comes with an integral with the cap body it's just a drop in or drop on the whole thing is completely assembled and you take the old one off and you put the new one on and you use the crane that comes with it and it's just an erector set and it pulls the old one off and you roll the chassis out we can drive it out and then you put the new one where the old one was and you lifted up and you drop it down on it's very simple and there are a lot of people trying to build it right now and the Spanish are trying to stop them and it gives us an idea about the motorcycle company and probably should not be in Russia and it would go ahead with it now people are trying to build the motorcycle they have a little trouble like we said there should be eight or nine prototypes up this coming Monday and they should have built a bunch of them and they're going to test them on the road and in the dirt and they said it's really fast cuz they're putting the four cylinder on right away and some of them are using lawn mower engines cuz it's going to be there mainstay it's a smart thing to do this is going to create a revolution in the motorcycle business and they'll start making them again. All right deal with nuts and then it became a nightmare is not parts for all this stuff and they're all different there are certain Chinese parts they're making and those are used on these new motorcycles and they're pleased because they're the same and it's easy it's going to go real fast once someone makes one that works we have two that have completed the prototypes and they're the lawn mower engine type or regular motorcycle but they're going to start with the lawn mower cuz they're inexpensive and they can modify tons of lawn mowers that are coming out this huge numbers and the self-propelled ones you can use too it doesn't take much work really it is just a huge business that's going to start and they're also trying to invade and we're going to bring that up in a moment

Thor Freya

Olympus

That was great we're going to be famous now and we need it and this is intense our area is now hot I sort of get it it just came when they started pour up here and we got attention and they looked at the motorcycle and said this is what he's been saying you can make it s*** simpler and a whole bunch of people can make it and it'll kick it in the butt and it says idea he's talking about the pace car this is going to make it a drop on the whole thing comes off and send a rector set crane so I can overhead crane that is just an erector set with a unistrut and he started building it right away it lifted off and you drop it on and it looks like the original which was a Dodge and the Spanish stopped you and they went nuts they said no way start making it it's going to be intense and Salazar and got his way for smiling and this is intense I can't believe how awesome this is going to be

Nimbus and goddess wife

We have some models of motorcycle that this would work with and they're going to go ahead and start making them here and they don't look silly they're pretty cool and they're easy to make and they're going to make the Chinese parts work with them and they know what RTA is and it's done tons of it with Ikea and even with motorcycles but not recently but it's so few parts that people can do it themselves before there are too many parts and to assemble you need to cut things and weld it but now you can bolt it up and they see why it's a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft box and you can ship it everywhere and by UPS even FedEx DHL and airborne there's several others in the post office might accept them if they do it's going to revolutionize motorcycles everyone will have to build something that they can fit in a box and it's going to be intense you're never going to ever see something so cool in your life and his compact motorcycle will work and it does go to the side and it's just swinging the the front end it really is intense I mean this is going to be cool second folding bike that you can unfold it some motorcycle and it's electric nothing's going to go world famous once this starts and everyone would want their bike in a box it's going to be intense and we can't wait

So we're starting up and we have like 10 manufacturers already on the same type of bike

Uriel and Goddess Wife

And yeah we have control over it sort of we're going to have to gain control but this is what we needed people are grabbing these ideas and the drop ons too they're saying it's intense you can just drop the whole thing on and leave the interior it's much less of a hassle and people are looking for the interior and they found out it was a Dodge he's putting a Dodge on a Dodge and he's nuts and then they said no he's not until so much faster and you still have a Dodge so it's going on now and they're doing the Lamborghini but really this car is going to be very hot and what we're doing is going to be really cool

Nimbus and Goddess Wife

I'm fighting this morning to be stressful but delightful right now they're organizing for an invasion it's getting really huge and these people are assholes but these pseudo empire are worse and they started to squeeze him to get what they're getting and they're going to get beat the hell and this kind of stan is an a******.

So they're paying him bonuses it was a lot of money and he was worth it and Blake didn't know he was doing and Bud was telling him what to do and he wouldn't do it so they got ports and 9/11 happened and then he got pissed at him and the guy still doesn't get it it went the other way and you morons are doing it and he's stuck to the government and you're all getting puddled and I sent you about it he just can't believe that none of you can think your way out of a paper bag but one guy will and Bill know about it too but they're beat on and they don't really have it in them and they're actually foreigners so Mac is sitting there like alone knowing how it works and the rest of you a bunch of crabbing assholes and losers are going to take off informs are going to come in concerned old-fashioned bitches

Celebrating the Significance of Commemorative Events

In our fast-paced world, where days often blur into one another, observance days stand out as special moments of reflection and celebration. Whether it's Black Friday, Women's Day, or countless other occasions, these observance days hold significance beyond the surface-level festivities. They offer us a chance to pause, commemorate, and connect with shared values, stories, and causes. In this blog, we'll explore why observance days matter and the importance of celebrating these occasions that weave a tapestry of stories around us.

The Many Faces of Observance Days

Observance days come in various forms, each with its unique purpose and significance:

1. Cultural Celebrations: Cultural observance days, like Lunar New Year or Diwali, allow communities to come together to celebrate their heritage, customs, and traditions. These events reinforce cultural identities and strengthen bonds among generations.

2. Historical Remembrances: Days like Memorial Day or Independence Day commemorate pivotal historical events. They serve as reminders of the sacrifices made by individuals who fought for freedom, justice, and human rights. These observance days ensure that we never forget the lessons of the past.

3. Social Awareness: Observance days like Women's Day or World AIDS Day focus on raising awareness about social issues and challenges. They provide a platform for advocacy, education, and action, driving positive change in society.

4. Consumer Traditions: Days such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday have become synonymous with shopping and consumerism. While they may appear commercial on the surface, they also reflect changing consumer trends and economic behaviors.

The Importance of Commemoration

So, why do observance days matter? Here are several compelling reasons:

1. Cultural Preservation: Cultural observance days play a vital role in preserving traditions and customs that might otherwise fade away. They reinforce cultural identity, pass down stories and rituals, and connect generations to their heritage.

2. Historical Reflection: Observance days that commemorate historical events encourage us to reflect on our shared history. They remind us of the sacrifices and struggles of those who came before us, fostering a sense of gratitude and respect.

3. Awareness and Advocacy: Days focused on social issues help raise awareness and mobilize action. They serve as platforms for advocacy, education, and fundraising, driving positive change in areas such as gender equality, health, and human rights.

4. Unity and Solidarity: Observance days bring communities and individuals together. They create a sense of unity and solidarity as people gather to celebrate shared values, stories, and causes.

Women's Day: A Celebration of Progress and Advocacy

International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8th, exemplifies the power of observance days in advocating for social change. It commemorates the achievements of women while highlighting the ongoing struggle for gender equality. Women's Day serves as a catalyst for discussions on women's rights, empowerment, and gender-based violence. It brings to light stories of resilience and achievement, inspiring collective action toward a more equitable world.

Black Friday: Consumerism or Cultural Phenomenon?

While Black Friday has become synonymous with shopping frenzy, it also tells a story of cultural and economic significance. Originating in the United States, Black Friday marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Beyond the crowds and discounts, it reflects changing consumer behaviors, the impact of e-commerce, and the role of retailers in shaping modern society. Black Friday, in a way, is a reflection of our evolving economic landscape and consumer culture.

Stories Around Us: Observance Days as Narrative Threads

Observance days are like threads that weave through the fabric of our lives, connecting us to a rich tapestry of stories and experiences. Here's how they contribute to this narrative:

1. Cultural Narratives: Cultural observance days reinforce cultural narratives by celebrating traditions, languages, and customs. They help preserve and pass down stories of ancestors and the origins of communities.

2. Historical Narratives: Observance days that commemorate historical events contribute to the collective historical narrative. They remind us of pivotal moments, individuals, and movements that have shaped our world.

3. Social Narratives: Days focused on social awareness contribute to the ongoing narrative of social progress and change. They highlight stories of resilience, activism, and the tireless efforts of individuals and organizations to make a difference.

4. Economic Narratives: Consumer-oriented observance days like Black Friday are part of the broader economic narrative. They reflect shifts in consumer behavior, technological advancements, and the role of commerce in our lives.

Celebrating Observance Days Mindfully

To make the most of observance days and celebrate them mindfully:

1. Reflect: Take time to reflect on the significance of the observance day, whether it's a cultural celebration, historical remembrance, or social awareness occasion.

2. Connect: Use observance days as opportunities to connect with others who share your interests, values, or concerns. Engage in conversations, events, or activities that align with the day's theme.

3. Advocate: If the observance day focuses on advocacy or social issues, consider getting involved in related initiatives or supporting organizations that champion the cause.

4. Preserve and Share Stories: Celebrate by preserving and sharing stories that are meaningful to you. Whether it's a family tradition, a historical account, or a personal journey, stories are at the heart of observance days.

In Conclusion: Embrace the Significance of Observance Days

Observance days matter because they offer us a unique opportunity to celebrate, remember, and advocate for a better world. Whether it's Women's Day, Black Friday, or any other observance day, these occasions connect us to our culture, history, and society. They tell stories of resilience, progress, and unity, shaping the narrative of our lives. So, embrace the significance of observance days, celebrate them mindfully, and let their stories enrich your own.
