TF2 MERCS IN THE ANIMAL CARE INDUSTRY BECAUSE WORK HAS BEEN MAKING ME SAD

scout: scout is new to the industry. a year at most. the fastest bather you could find in town. doesn’t want to start his own business, so works for a mom and pop shop. personality hire, but he’s getting better and better every day. has no interest in learning how to groom, though. he doesn’t have the right eye to make an animal look good.

soldier: soldier is more likely to be an owner of a very blank salon that he rents out booths for individual groomers. only takes enough from the money pool to maintain the building. doesn’t really care what goes on otherwise. his tenants LOVE him, because any issue is solved within 48 hours and they can do whatever they want as long as they take care of the place. handles sharpening because he knows the sharpener.

pyro: runs a luxury doggy daycare; and is VERY serious about the job. is up almost 24 hours a day during holiday seasons taking care of up to 30 dogs a day. has a handful of full time, live in employees, but they get so nervous when they’re not there they just stay at the daycare all day, watching. loves their employees. pays like, double the average wage as a start, because pyro expects nonstop work. consistent raises and bonuses, AND pizza parties.

engineer: a man of many hats. is actually a farrier. but if you got a sheep that needs shearing or something that needs to be tinkered with or a blade that needs sharpening or a dog that just needs a bath and nail trim he’s also your man. is the ONLY LICENSED AND CERTIFIED SHARPENER IN THREE FUCKING STATES. busy, busy man. soldier sends wealthy business and hearty workers his way in exchange for a monthly sharpening for his little shop. they’re friends, and soldier has always been a man of his word, so of course he agreed.

heavy: specializes in extra large dogs. 70 pound minimum to book with him. he runs a one on one fear free grooming experience called “Giant Spaw For Giant Dogs”. his website to book an appointment is full of pictures of him holding these massive dogs like they’re puppies. he’s smiling so wide in each picture. heavy loves dogs. has numerous certifications. is dog cpr certified. regularly attends dog shows. his salon is BEAUTIFUL. sleek, modern, lavender and navy theme. you enter and the reception area smells… so good. charges an arm and a leg though. but he sends you like… pictures of your dog on photoshopped backgrounds. it’s so worth it, his clientele is DEVOTED to him. one time he got sick and had to cancel his appointments and one of his clients broke down on him, praying for his health over the phone.

demo: demo is the best worker in the state, and he cycles through salons and clinics often based on where he’s needed. every business wants him so bad when they don’t have him. is getting paid VERY well to do what he does best. enjoys the process of bathing a dog without the stress of the haircut. fast, efficient, able to juggle multiple groomers as ONE bather. he’s a vital asset to any team he’s with, and he doesn’t even need the money. also likes working kennel. will help pyro during the holiday season for a break.

spy: i have two ideas. spy either has like, celebrity clientele, or spy exclusively grooms cats. requires his clients on a monthly schedule either way. his salon is also one on one quiet luxury pet care. brown and cream colored salon. never remembers to take pictures of his work. to book with him requires prepayment. website is sleek, and his portfolio is sorted by breed. doesn’t ask what anyone wants done on their pet, just does what he thinks is best. they always come out stellar. even his worst grooms are westminster worthy. has a wall of pet colognes and finishing sprays.

sniper: sniper is a mobile groomer and his business is called “Come Wash My Dog”. fast, efficient. doesn’t do anything fancy on any dog, and charges accordingly. does keep bows and bandanas to put on his favorite clients. likes terriers. occasionally gets caught up talking to his clients. it’s like his human interaction for the day. don’t come up to him making any requests, he is very frank that he is not one of them fancy groomers. he gives the dogs a trim if he can. that’s why his prices are so low.

medic: see, medic might make a really bad and unethical human doctor. but i think he’d make a phenomenal avian veterinarian. i think if medic became a veterinarian he would be a much different, much more ethically fulfilled man. known for his passion and dedication to the job. practically sleeps in his office so he is on call, at all times. probably wouldn’t have interest in tending to anything past the birds, but because he is known as one of three exotic vets in the state he’ll occasionally see reptiles and rodents. only has passing thoughts of joining an illegal pet trade, but he loves his job so much. he couldn’t forgive himself if he squandered it. keeps every feather that falls off his clients, and keeps them in organized files. when a client dies, he’ll give them the feathers and keep one for his clinic’s gallery wall. has a clinic cat because he thinks the irony’s funny. much more at peace with himself. at his worst he’s like house but with birds and without the drug addiction.

[schnuffel-danny]

Lab Experiment Vladdie(TM) would probably be obnoxiously physically affectionate with Jack and Maddie, since he likely fears being taken away from them again, and also just misses positive human interactions and Jack and Maddie are both very aware of how meaningful this is to Vlad, and how vulnerable and trusting he is being, so they make an effort to never push him away, even at times when Vlad's physical closeness is very inconvenient and this leads to several "Can't move, Vlad is asleep" moments that perfectly mirror the average cat owner experience of your legs going totally numb, because a cat fell asleep on your lap while you were sitting in the most unfortunate position possible, except in this case it's not a cat, but a middle aged ghostperson

Average cat owner experience

[pseudowho]

Hi Mrs Haitch! First let me say that I adore your stories and the way you write the men in your fics. Not only are they hot and enjoyable to read but also they feel real and adult. I don't want to bash on anyone by saying this, but sometimes it's difficult to enjoy fics written by younger people when you're pushing 30 because they portray a different reality. Please, never stop writing!

Before getting into the next part of the ask I'd like to say that this is in no way a demand and I it's not my intention to trauma dump on you. I just felt like talking a little about my experience could provide a bit of context.

I just read the ask about the soft spot and, although I'm not a virgin, I'm a serial victim of bad sex. I would love technical (even if explicit) descriptions on how to find the famed spot. I think is really cool when women in the medical field talk about sexual health, and it could be good having this kind of knowledge on a famous fic blog like yours, since I imagine a lot of fic readers are either virgins or had less than ideal sexual experiences, like me.

I don't want to seem like I'm pressuring you though! I totally understand if you prefer to keep this kind of thing out of your blog. It's just that a while ago I read on another blog from a healthcare professional a post about how sex shouldn't hurt even in the first time and I was blown away (this happened years after I started having sex and after having deemed myself "defective" and doomed to painful sex to the rest of my life)

Sorry for the long ask. Sending lots of hapiness your way <3

Well, if it helps even one person, it is absolutely my pleasure to do so.

I'm sorry for your bad sex. Nothing excuses it, frankly, and I'm a firm believer that most people are profoundly shit at giving vagina-owners orgasms.

(you calling my blog 'famous' does not go unnoticed and I could blush. Shhhh.)

I think age comes with so much beauty. I am a staunch believer in the unifying power of people, and when groups of women support the ducklings of the group, the ducklings are far less likely to be led down the garden path, on what is 'normal' or 'abnormal' or 'good' or 'bad' in sex.

This is why men and the media fear strongly-bonded groups of women so much-- it's almost like we'll talk and start to take note of the real problems. Cats amongst pigeons, right?

Anyway...

Cw and tw: medical discussion, discussion of self-examination

So again, while the location of the g-spot varies in exact location from vagina-owner to vagina-owner, on average it is located 2-3 inches into the vagina, on the anterior vaginal wall.

What I mean by anterior vaginal wall is, if standing and facing forwards, it's the wall of your vagina closest to the front of you, rather than your back.

Picture posted again, for reference!

The g-spot is of variable size, usually the size of a large coin, and it may feel a bit rougher or ridged than other parts of your vagina, but becomes spongier or thicker and plusher when aroused or stimulated.

If you were to get two fingers on your dominant hand, reach inside the vagina up to the base of your fingers, and hook forwards, you should find it.

I suggest for the first time, finding it when you need to pee. This is because, the g-spot sits against the urethral canal (the tube you pee out of), and if you have a full bladder, you'll know you've found the g-spot because it will feel really sensitive and likely increase your urge to pee.

If you happen to orgasm with g-spot and clitoral stimulation while you have urine in your bladder, your chances of "squirting" (which, if you see my previous post, is almost certainly just pee) are much higher. It's a unique experience and you should try it. Put a towel down.

I find a good sized wand vibrator, inserted and positioned just-so, will give great continuous g-spot stimulation while you, or someone else, goes to town elsewhere.

Start combining all of the erogenous zones and it's party time.

As said previously, sensitivity is very variable. Exploring and knowing yourself is key to showing a partner how to pleasure you.

If you have sex with a partner who responds with anything other than "teach me" absolute enthusiasm, when you want to show them what works for you...if they 'try' for a short time, then give up? If they carry on doing their own thing anyway? If they're impatient?

Kick them to the curb. They can go fuck themselves.

Very much love as always,

-- Haitch xxx

Average cat owner experience, can confirm

[chiffonbleue]

hiya lovelies, happy soft opening!! 🌼 i go by cyan (they/them) and i'm extremely excited to be here! it's been eons since i last rped on tumblr so please forgive me for any slight hiccups while i get back into the swing of things ... 😅 currently i have two (2) muses to introduce ⸺ park bosung & imogen roe. info about them + some wanted connections will be under the cut. as always, if you'd like to plot, please click the 💙 and i'll message you when i'm free from work!!!

about bosung (보성), 24, he/him

born on march 21st, 2000 in tongyeong to park minshik, a restaurant owner, and mae yeran, an acupuncturist. his parents separated when bosung was three years old but never officially divorced on paper. although he was co-parented amicably between households, bosung feels closer to his father.

his love for food and willingness to try new things was heavily influenced by his dad, who constantly introduced him to different dishes while he was growing up. he will always try something at least once - and if he doesn't like it, he won't eat it again. the only thing off the table are strawberries.... he's allergic to those.

bosung excelled creatively the most in school, and ran in social circles confidently. his grades weren't the best but they weren't the worst, as he'd take home pretty average marks. he never really fussed or stressed about his academics, unlike some of his peers, and spent his time helping out at his dad's restaurant vs attending a hagwon.

the interest in pottery didn't start until his now ex-girlfriend took him on a date to a ceramic studio when he was seventeen. he never had hands-on experience with clay and a pottery wheel until then, and enjoyed his time so much that he wanted to learn more.

pottery making became a hobby for bosung, and then eventually more than that, interested in pursuing a career in that field. he originally applied to yonsei university to study ceramics and sculpture but his application was denied. that didn't stop him from moving to seoul, though; he packed a couple bags and left tongyeong, chasing his new dream.

his first few years in the city were tough. he worked short-term jobs as a sheep cafe employee, a janitor, and a baemin delivery driver to keep himself afloat. on his days off, he would take classes at the nearest art studio, wanting to get better at his craft. bosung ultimately befriended the owner after attending these classes so often and was offered a job, assisting in teaching pottery part-time.

he also has an online food blog entitled 'tastefully captured', where he posts photos and detailed reviews of dishes he's had and made. he does document his restaurant reviews as well, but they are infrequent as he doesn't want to be known as a critic but rather a lover of food instead. this blog is treated mostly as a hobby than a profession but has gained a decent following since its creation. a commission, albeit small, is being earned with his posts.

as far as living arrangements went, he stayed in a gosiwon until he heard about vacancy in the gyeogang street lofts, applying for residency and hoping for the best.

bosung has since lived on the second floor from september 2022 onwards, in apartment 3a. he is known as a reliable neighbor, someone who is friendly and approachable on first impression, and will make light conversation with other tenants. on the flip side, he has a tendency to be quite a bit of a food snob, preferring to eat home-cooked meals or at shops and restaurants with reputable reviews. frozen, instant, and fast foods are a big no no. it is worth mentioning he prefers tea over coffee.

wanted connections: ex flings he never expected to see again, childhood friends from tongyeong that also moved to seoul, former co-workers from his previous job at the sheep cafe, someone who loves his cooking, someone who hates his cooking, cat and mouse friendship or relationship, someone who makes him further question his sexuality, sunshine and the sunshine protector, friends who drag him out clubbing, fellow foodies

about imogen (이모젠), 22, she/her

the third and youngest child of jaehui "jay" and lillian roe, born on july 5th, 2002 in seattle, washington. she has two older brothers, leo and jude, both of whom she is close with.

her father works as a funeral director while her mother is a bank teller. they are both korean-american, jay being born in seoul and immigrating to the united states, while lillian was born and raised in washington.

her parents very seldomly spoke korean at home so her proficiency in the language is fairly low. since being in korea, she has made the effort in trying to learn how to speak and write correctly, but hasn't fully grasped it yet.

throughout her childhood and adolescence, imogen was known as bubbly and charming, often exuding high energy. those who couldn't match it or found her overly optimistic attitude overbearing withdrew from her. she used to blame herself when people did as such, as it wasn't her intention to put them off, but has gotten better at not letting it get to her as much over the years.

imogen temporarily moved to seoul in april 2024, the goal being to soul search and fully engulf herself in and absorb her culture, since she's been mostly disconnected from it for most of her life until that point. she wasn't supposed to stay long term - it was only meant to be for three months, but ended up applying for a visa to extend her stay.

as she was looking for a more permanent residence, imogen stayed with her paternal grandmother. she was initially socially awkward with her but their relationship improved over the months she had stayed in her care. feeling somewhat restricted with her grandma's house rules, she almost answered a roommate wanted ad in itaewon but ultimately decided to look for different options.

originally visited the brewed awakening cafe after hearing the buzz about it on social media, and only later found out about the renovated loft apartments afterwards. imogen had the bright idea to inquire further about them, yet was conflicted about leaving her grandmother; she didn't want to seem ungrateful for her hospitality, and knew she could stay as long as she wanted - but she plucked up the courage and expressed her desire to be independent and have her own space.

apartment 14b has been her home since november 2024. admittedly, she is not the best neighbor; often cultivating noise complaints during late hours, as she's a night owl and isn't exactly the most subtle or quiet person around. she loves to invite guests over and have them stay until the early hours of the morning, taking advantage of the quality time spent. she absolutely loves watching and rewatching shows whilst enjoying some takeout, and there's nothing better to her than sharing those moments with friends.

she works as a nail technician at a popular salon in the hongdae area, as she completed schooling for cosmetology and received her license from evergreen beauty college's everett campus after graduating high school. thankfully, the distance between the gyeogang street lofts and her workplace is within walking distance, and she never fails to take an almond croissant to go before her shifts.

wanted connections: loyal clients at the nail salon, apartment residents that don't get along with her (for her noisy habits or otherwise), golden retriever and black cat, tinder match that turns platonic, tinder match that turns toxic and sour, language tutor, sibling type of friendship, confidant, enemies to friends, fellow expats, unrequited love where she is crushing on your muse and the sentiment isn't returned

Brief history: (tw cancer, death, parental abandonment, ADD diagnosis, drug use & abuse) 

Patrick was an accidental pregnancy to a mid-twenties couple, Rosalia & Alberto. His father was in the military and his mother was a teacher. When Patrick was six, his father was offered a promotion in the Air Force that would have moved the family to D.C. However, Patrick’s mother refused to move - she knew that Alberto had been cheating on her throughout the entirety of their relationship and used the move as an opportunity to divorce Alberto and start fresh. Alberto put up no fight for custody but never missed a child support payment and often sent more than required.

Patrick and his mother thrived on their own, up until about middle school. He found himself getting frustrated in classes, wanting to talk to his friends or read his books instead. He won’t receive his diagnosis until he’s well into his 30s, but hearing ADD leave his psychiatrist’s mouth felt like putting a final piece into a puzzle. Patrick wishes he could relieve his younger days with this knowledge, he’s sure it would have made a hell of a difference. Instead, like most kids before the turn of the century, Patrick was just labeled a ‘troublemaker’, maybe a ‘class clown’ if his humor was compatible with whatever teacher was not interesting enough to keep his attention.

Due to this, he struggled throughout middle and high school. With a combination of scolding from his mother and pressure from the guidance counselor (who probably needed to increase her ratio of graduates who attended college), Patrick got through high school with a C average and managed an acceptance to a small art school in California. It was here that his impulsiveness and lack of effort was magnified - he quickly found himself with a ‘stoner’ reputation on campus and soon dropped out to sell.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t smart enough to stay out of trouble for too long. After a short stint of living it up as a ‘unemployed’ 20-something in California, Patrick made the dumb mistake of trying to sell to an undercover officer at a nightclub. He was promptly handcuffed and carted away for 2 years with possession and intent to sell charges. He didn’t change much in prison, maybe calmed down a bit (it’s never good to make waves behind bars) and refocused himself on his boxing. It wasn’t until he was in his halfway house a year or so after being released that he got a call from his mother, who he hadn’t spoken to since he told her he was dropping out of college.

Patrick’s mother had cancer, her doctors thought she had maybe 5 years left. With the permission of his probation office and under the pretense of his good behavior the past few years, he moved home, settled right back into routine with his mom. It wasn’t five years, but the few that he had with her were filled with good food and laughter. When she passed, he wrote to his father informing him of the service information. He received a short but empathetic letter back, with a check paperclipped to its corner. To this day, he has not spoken to his father and does not know if he is dead or alive.

Patrick took the check and moved to Woodside where he moved into a tiny studio apartment for a year, worked odd jobs for a few years to get the bills paid. He did a year stint at Rustic House and still has a lasting appreciation for mixing a lovely cocktail and plating a well-paired meal with it. (this has potential to turn into a wanted connection if anyone is interest!)

(if you’re reading this, this is a wanted connection!) A few years into living in Woodside, Patrick received a letter and found his quiet life disrupted. His father had indeed been cheating on his mother and there was a child to prove it. Well now into their thirties, just as he was, they wanted to let him know that Alberto had passed - it was peaceful and he had expressed a desire to know his son more. They wrote that no one in the family had known he had a son and Alberto insisted they find Patrick. When first receiving this, he had no desire to give this person any space in his life however, as time has passed and he has softened, the line of communication has been reopened. Never too wide and never for too long, but every so often Patrick checks in with them, asks about their family. After all, they’re all the family he has left.

After years and years of working and saving, Patrick finally had enough to pursue his dream since high school - opening a boxing gym. He named it Rose’s Gym, after his mother and worked tirelessly to open it. After another year of renovations, equipment purchasing, interviewing for staff, and everything else that comes along with opening a business, Patrick kept himself quite busy.

It’s been a few years now and Rose’s Gym is as successful as ever. He’s well known with high schools and therapists in town and often gets the ‘troublemakers’ referred to his after-school program called Fight the Fury - corny, he knows. He’s managed to buy a house in Jackson Hill, an older two-story that has so much character his mother would probably worry about ghosts haunting its walls.

Additional commentary on The Accidental Ecosystem, specifically one subject which I have some personal experience in and have done my own research on.

Content Warning:

This will discuss a particular and familiar animal, the concept of culling it, and risks it poses to the environment and risks it encounters. None of the following is graphic, but these are the primary underlying themes, and I strongly suggest scrolling past if you do not want to interact with these themes.

Outdoor Cats and the Urban Environment

This is a difficult subject for people, I understand, and I want to preemptively state that I am deeply opposed to outdoor cats. Yet, I am in a situation where I am the caretaker of an outdoor cat, and I understand that this situation occurs for people - in my case, a mother cat gave birth nearby and one of her kittens has stuck around our home ever since. Further, we are surrounded by a great many stray, feral, or outdoor cats. It is a difficult situation overall. The mother cat had two litters (that we are aware of), but I was able to get all the kittens fixed and two of them adopted out. And after her second litter, we were able to catch the mother and get her fixed as well.

While navigating this situation, I delved into research about the best approaches to dealing with cats, and the overall consensus seems to be that the TNR - trap, neuter, release - system is favored. Cats are trapped, brought to a clinic where they are vaccinated and fixed (and euthanized in certain cases, such as contraction of feline leukemia or other conditions with a high mortality rate), and then released back into the same area where they were trapped.

The reason this system is favored is based on the understanding that the ecosystem where cats are removed through permanent relocation or culling methods tends to have a boom in prey species, which attracts other predators - sometimes cats, sometimes other species - to come and fill the gap. It is often substituting one "problem" animal for another, and the newcomer may be a "problem" animal in more ways than the cat was, although that is situational.

Whereas keeping the cat(s) in their familiar territory allows them to maintain their role as predator - to the undeniable detriment of biodiversity - while preventing the booming cat population from continuing to grow unchecked.

Now, I do not know if this truly is the best practice. However, I bring this up because this book does pose culling as a possible solution for stray/feral cat populations, and I understand why. My own studies have shown this to be a bad idea, but I will acknowledge that these studies likely possessed biases, particularly against the culling of animals.

At times, I do believe culling can be the best solution. However, the arguments against culling stray/feral cats also make a great deal of sense to me and fit into what I know about broader ecosystem management.

Cats breed young, repeatedly, and can have litters with significant numbers of kittens. Each of these kittens - those that make it to breeding age, at least - have the capacity to continue the cycle. And cats will hunt far past what they need in order to survive. This is immensely damaging to local environments and their biodiversity.

Outdoor cats are also at far greater risks of violence or death - from other animals and humans, both deliberate and accidental - and have significantly shorter average lifespans. Indoor/outdoor cats (as in, cats who are both indoor and outdoor animals) are exposed to diseases, some of which can be transferred to their owners once they come back in. There are many and entirely valid reasons to be opposed to feral/stray/outdoor cat populations.

But when the book mentioned that culling was a possible solution, my own research popped into the front of my mind.

I'm not an environmentalist, an ecologist, a naturalist, a biologist... frankly, I am in no perceivable way an expert in any related field. So I rely on experts and their information, and as such, I am of the opinion that culling is an ineffective solution to the genuine problem posed by stray/feral/outdoor cats. I support TNR as a better solution, but admit that it, too, is imperfect, for the cats still live the extent of their lives and still disrupt their local environments substantially.

I suppose the biggest difference between culling - which would lead to a sudden reduction of a single species in a given area - versus TNR - which would deplete the population over time, as fixed cats die without having young of their own to supplant them - is that new predators can come in to a system that is already under predation, rather than to a sort of free-for-all buffet. Ideally, new predators - which are very important in ecosystems! - would be able to take on the role of the cats in a more sustainable way, as many predators are not as well-fed (through humans deliberately providing food) and do not hunt as relentlessly out of instinct/play/boredom/whatever the actual driving force(s) are that cause cats to kill so much and with such regularity.

The Seven Grooms

Prologue.

Loneliness, an evil that has stalked humanity since the beginning of time, a silent sorrow that affects both the mind and the heart. We long for company, contact, affection… but what happens when we fail to achieve such a goal? What if destiny has something in store for those who fail to establish a bond? Do we create it? Do we force it? Do we forget it and immerse ourselves in our indulgences? Or simply… is there no destiny… or is there?

This is the story of a desperate man whose life changes with an unexpected gift… and the experience and growth he had to go through to achieve what he most desired.

************************************************************************

Are you really going to leave me like this?! Just because of your whims?! - a young adult exclaimed to the woman in front of him. Her gaze was as cold and sharp as her words as she watched him outside that nightclub…

"I just got tired of you, you're too… oh, I don't know!, You need to be more… a man… I expected something more from you. I'm not against your tastes, but lately I'm embarrassed to go out with you. You look nice… but I expected you to be more manly, more reckless… but hey, it's not something you should feel bad about… I just found someone I like more. It's for the best, believe me, Xavier. - She tried to hide her coldness with kind arguments, but she had already driven a stake through the heart of that poor devil.

Xavier, the young man who was being discarded, was speechless… he couldn't believe that the woman he was trying to woo had told him so openly that she was tired of him, that he didn't meet her expectations of an ideal partner. His dark eyes began to shed tears of pain from what had just happened. He lowered his head and tried to hold back his tears. His efforts were in vain, as his now ex-partner already had someone else…

"That's all you'll say, Sabrina… not even a "I hope it goes well for you" or an "I'm sorry"… I really didn't expect this!" The young man couldn't believe what had happened. He wanted to cry right then and there, but he didn't want to give Sabrina the pleasure of seeing him vulnerable. It would have been too much for him. He just silently left that place, all he wanted to do was return to the safety of his apartment.

That young man wasn't exactly a heartthrob, but neither was he a man condemned by a horrible deformity. He was… average, just an average man, with light brown skin, dark eyes, a broad build but not overweight, of average height, black hair tied in a low ponytail, and a medium-thick beard with a shaved mustache surrounding his round face. His gaze was filled with sadness, misery, and disappointment, but above all, full of tiredness, tiredness from so much shit he had to endure. As soon as he got to his apartment, he slid his back against the door until he was sitting on the floor with his legs extended, he took off his shoes, untied his ponytail and began to cry silently, his only company was a cat with fur as black as the night and yellow eyes, this one approached its hurt owner, purred waiting for an answer from that unfortunate one, but Xavier only limited himself to petting him, he stayed that way for an hour or two, then he took a bath hoping the hot water would help comfort his heart and take away the pain with the stream of water going down the sewer, but it persisted like a burn mark on the skin of a cow, he tried to sleep a t first, but he only cried in pain until finally fall in slumber, it was not the first time … he had been through this several times, both with men and women, love did not stop at his door, in general he did not have a star that favored him in anything … everything he won and own, he had to fight it like an animal, but in matters of love… he was never lucky.

That same night, he had a dream…one so vivid, it seemed he was living it…a town, an angry mob surrounding a castle, screams demanding death and blood from the inhabitants of that castle, in the deepest part, an old man surrounded by seven men of great stature and figure, two of them crying like scared children in the lap of that gentleman as he tries to comfort them, the rest of those young giants were looking for a way to get out and save themselves from that horrific mob, that crowd had entered the castle and was looking for them, the old man stands up in the middle of the young men and begins to do something, he speaks in a strange prose, as he recited those words, a circle of light forms on the ground, a seven-pointed star, surrounded by a heptagram, and this in turn surrounded by ancient celestial symbols, while this old man continued with such a strange ritual, each of those young giants were locked in coffins that emerged from the floor, one for each celestial symbol, one of them, he tried to resist being locked in his coffin, asking the old man to stop and free his brothers, that there was still hope to get out and restart their lives, but the old man only said: -I am doing this to save all of you, because you are my treasure, my pride, and this is the only way to prevent you from being harmed. You will continue your lives without me, but I will always be watching you, you and your future life partners, those chosen to be your other half, but now this is the only thing that will save you… - That man of great stature and bearing was finally locked in the coffin, but not before seeing the smile of pride that the old man showed before being enveloped in a light so bright and intense, like a miniature sun.

Xavier woke up from that dream. His cat was sleeping on its owner's abdomen. The young man felt strange; it was another day… and with it, a routine to fulfill.
