What [Gurus] get wrong about happiness

I was gonna use [Stoics] instead of [Gurus] because I have a bias against Stoics and Would-be Stoics. Then I realized this was applicable to more than one self-accredited emotional and or bliss guide or expert.

You can't force yourself to live in bliss; the same way you can't force yourself to be depressed or anxious.

Excluding certain methods to over-medication of course. Which you shouldn't do because then you can't function.

There are several ideas behind how-to obtain [happiness], Most of the creditable sources suggest only the lucky are happy. Or that Happiness stems from something that comes from Luck.

E.g: some people are born [Whinnie the Pooh] and others are born [Eeyore], [or rabbit, or piglet, or any of those characters really].

I've been in various emotional states from various lucky breaks or traumatic experiences or just... Living life in general.

Happiness, I would say; comes from a balanced life.

There is a time for social drinking, just like a time for day drinking, and a time to work and a time to play, and a time for [whatever else].

And there's a time for recovery. [Old Wives Tales] suggest that [Sickness] or the [Susceptibility to it] comes from a lack of proper [Recovery Time]. [Citation Needed] or R&R, Vacation, a Break from the Norm.

I believe that very much.

If you've never been in pain from food poisoning and angry at every body trying to make you laugh so you don't feel miserable would know the difference between laughing, pain, and happiness.

Though; others would suggest that [Laughter] itself is a sign of [Healing]. Meaning that it could mean a laughing audience is one on the mend, not necessarily one that agrees with the joke.

It's very easy to make light of every situation; and if you're like [most comedians] you've been in quite a few [Situations] where {survival require making light of a few things.}

That right there is a basic difference in how most would consider Laughter vs Happiness. And while feel good chemicals can come from a skilled comedian that is very knowledgeable about situations you've been in before;

I've personally sat in the audience of quite a few [Comedians] who [where not knowledgeable about that which they were making jokes] and when that happens; you start to alienate your audience.

This isn't about the stage or comedians, it's about joy and happiness.

Like the tides, everything comes and goes. Happy Times, Sad Times, Angry Times, New York Times... A time and place for everything.

Some people have lived a life where there were very little [Happy Times] they {did not make themselves}. I feel, like them; a lot of [Bad Times] are Cross Wired to [Happiness] or to [Work {or whatever the military}] like an abusive spouse; it sometimes becomes impossible to feel Relaxed, or Calm, Or even Happy, when you don't have that {pressure to succeed} staring you in the face.

When I came home from the military, on disability, after [President Trump] {Fired a bunch people he shouldn't outght'to've} I was faced with a lot of...

[Personally Significant Historical Truths] that I had to come face to face with. Societal pressures, family members jealous that they [weren't fired] {for being transgender} their churches flying anti-people and anti-queer sentiment flags...

Great; [Christ Church] *really* puts the [fun] in [funeral].

These truths became: [My Friends/Family/Community/Society] literally voted on the basis that they thought it would be better for me to [Complete a Sudoku Puzzle on Easy Mode]. Trigger words replaced with other trigger words.

What Happiness? What Joy? WHAT GOD?

They say "Oh those shithole countries would even let you live."

I dare you find a reason I'd wish to live here had I another choice.

They're the same picture to me. Terrorists {foreign and domestic} want me dead, and some of them *might* be my [ancestors] {living and/or dead}.

I smoke when I'm trying not to think about suicide, or homicide for that matter.

Others get to smoke as a treat or a celebration for a Trolley Problem that killed the least non-queer people that day.

I am so used to operating without [solid social support system] that people find it {off-putting} and would complain that I placed for s's in a row.

Like some sort of [Hitler Supporter].

I'm used to [keeping my head down] and [getting the job done] while everybody else seems more interested in their side-hustles or [elbow grease]

Many would tell you that *I* [don't do social situations] that I'm the anti-social one.

I have a lot of triggers; and a lot of experience to tell when people [do not want me around] or [see a negative stereotype] in my place.

I know the situations that are personally dangerous.

It's not that [I can't trust people] I just don't; and whenever I bring up those things...some [avid Fox News viewer] tells me that I'm [just too sensitive].

Yes And; Fuck You. You know you're the problem.

People tend to not follow the rules they've established; at somebody's expense. Just because they can.

So yeah, I don't trust. I've been in A LOT of situations where; I was moments away from death. In places otherwise deemed to be [Safe Spaces] {like churches}.

It often feels like I'm the only one who *has* to live [in faithful]{uncertain about tomorrow or what comes next} while others harp on how much more difficult*their* lives are than *mine in particular*.

Oh yeah; Thanks for your sacrifice for our safety; somebody has to it; and it wasn't going to be us, loser.

So you get blamed by people {usually conservatives} for supporting the government; the fascist whatevers.

While custodians of the country and our economic systems make deals for a piece of other countries economic systems; instead of ensuring the smooth operations of our own.

Because how would one make money otherwise since the Banks own all the money here?

I find joy in critique.

I find joy in simulation.

I find joy in war.

But; I do not wish to live in war, nor would I condemn anyone to have to do so, had they any other option.

I can tell when national sentiment changes when people interact with me different. A skill... One should not have to develop quite the way I had to.

Market fluctuations; Safety; whatever. Assholes or non assholes. I can tell how people see me, because I hadn't had the choice to to operate any differently.

So instead of names and faces; I remember their unseen opinions of me. Things they do, things they say; promises they've reneg'd on.

Attitudes behavior, and whatever else. I'm not good at reading sub-text; because I understand, too well, how people lie with subtext.

It's worse when it's to your face and they're not honest about their intentions. At least the kiosks at the mall KNOW they're in sales.

I don't really wish for a simpler world. I wish to be part of a more honest community.

One where people are aware of when [their ass] is showing. One where I'm not constantly perceived as [a/the villain].

A place where people understand what actual struggle is; instead of projecting on me all the struggles they think I've not had, or they think I don't know they're dealing with.

One where *someone* has my back. That isn't a set piece.

One where both people in this Image are not simultaneously me:when:

Happiness; doesn't come easy to me. It's the resource I horde; like some kind of [Luck Dragon].

Some people have a lot to be thankful for. And I get to be thankful that I haven't [KIA'd myself] yet.

I don't owe anything to a community that gets more from me; than I get from them. Because what they want... Is [My Peace of Mind]...

Avoiding the Gibeonite Ruse

TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman

06/06/2023

The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD

(Joshua 9:14).

When Joshua and the Israelites entered the Promised Land, they fought many battles. In fact, they fought 39 battles in the Promised Land compared to only two in their exodus from Egypt. God instructed them to wipe out all their enemies completely. The more battles they won, the more their reputation preceded them as they entered new territories. Such was the case when Joshua and the people came into the land where the Gibeonites lived. The Gibeonites knew they were as good as dead if they didn’t do something. So, they dressed up in old, worn clothes and posed as foreigners passing through. They asked Joshua and the people to make a peace treaty with them. An interesting thing happened.

The scriptures tell us that Joshua and the people made a treaty with them because they

did not inquire of God

about these people. They assumed what they said was true. This turned out to be a very bad assumption. They were now forced to abide by this treaty after they discovered their true identity. They had been deceived. The Israelites were forced to make the Gibeonites slaves. This created a problem for Joshua and the people. The deception resulted because Joshua failed to keep a vertical focus with God. Joshua did not ask God about these people.

They now had to pay the consequences. Those consequences resulted in having to work to avoid cross-tribal marriages while they had to make an entire people their slaves. This was something God never intended them to have to do. The relationship was a source of compromise for the Israelites that made them susceptible to future compromises.

Many of us fall for the Gibeonite Ruse in our lives. It may be a great looking investment, a job that’s going to pay more, or a relationship that you deeply desire. Sooner or later we all get entangled in our own Gibeonite Ruse because we fail to inquire of God.

Can you Taehyungs version of reader being shot cause of them?

I really like your Jimin and Namjoon Version that you’ve written🥰

Request from @dramaclub-thin: Mafia BTS where the reader is shot for/because of them.

A/N: It is so much longer than I meant for it to be. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading.

If anyone else wants to request, you can here.

Mafia Bangtan other parts:

Namjoon

Yoongi

Jimin

Jungkook

---------

Deception.

Summary: When you agreed to help Bangtan take down one of their enemies, you never imagined it could go so wrong.

Trigger warning: Smut, violence, blood, murder.

Taehyung

Mafia! Taehyung

"Are you ready?" Namjoon asks, shutting off the car's engine and turning around in his seat.

"Yeah," you nod back, hoping the rocking pit of nerves in your stomach isn't visible on your face. Scanning back and forth between him in the front and Jin sat beside you, you're checking to see if they are showing any signs of worry either. Finding a bit of solace in their surety.

"We're gonna lag behind about 20 minutes to be cautious and stay out of sight. But we'll be close. Just do everything like we said, and you'll be fine." Namjoon summarizes once again. Jin offering you a kind, reassuring smile to accompany the leader's words.

You nod again, sucking your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Running your fingers through your hair to fluff it for the 30th time. Hyperfixated on the time, you see the dashboard clock tick over. 20:21.

"Okay, let's go." You exhale deeply.

It was three weeks ago that Namjoon came to you with a problem that Bangtan was facing. Their weapons dealer was forcefully put out of business, which was Namjoons gentle way of saying he was killed, cutting off their supply to automatics and other bigger guns. Leaving them vulnerable. The man who took over their previous partners supply was known to be working with some of the other, smaller local crews. It was also known that he was a rival of Namjoon's and due to this tension refused to work with Bangtan. Normally, a problem like this would be something that they could handle. However, as Namjoon explained it, this guy was backed and protected by foreign money and was too hot to touch without starting a bloody war.

So the plan was simple. Risky, but simple. The supplier had to die. And it needed to appear to be from natural causes, so it could never fall back on Bangtan. No one directly affiliated could be involved. That meant none of the members could risk doing it. It also meant that it was too high a priority to trust an associate or hired gun with this information. Not with the reach and money the opposition had. No, it had to be someone within the family that could handle this, but someone the supplier would never know.

Opportunely, the supplier was known to have a weakness for women, hence the logical conclusion for Namjoon was one of the member's girls. Trustworthy enough not to turn or rat, not likely to be noticed among the myriad of other women, and except a few of them, all had no record linking them to Bangtan, so they would be complete unknowns.

Jin said it, but you already knew it. Out of all of the girls, you were the one who was the most capable. Your difficult past left you with many emotional scars but made you the best person to handle the responsibility. You're not susceptible to intimidation. Have very few moral hangups. And most importantly Namjoon knows how much you love Taehyung. How you would do anything for him. To keep him safe and happy. He knows he can trust you, and that when the time comes, you wouldn't hesitate to do what they needed you to.

As for you, you knew that Taehyung trusted Namjoon irrefutably and you had seen countless times that he was a good leader. Furthermore, you could appreciate the gravity of the situation. Because you're sure that if Bangtan's brain had any other choice, he would not have asked for your help. But since he had, you were going to do what was necessary to keep your family and Taehyung safe.

The problem was that Namjoon had insisted on secrecy. The only ones to know about his plan were you, him, and Jin. A few years ago, sure, lying would not have been a problem for you, you hardly ever told the truth to anyone. But this changed when you met Taehyung. He was the first person you could be honest with, the first person you ever let love you. And lying to him was something you were genuinely struggling with.

However, you knew Namjoon and Jin were right. There was no way Tae would have been okay with you being put in harm's way and he wouldn't be able to separate his feelings from the urgency of the task.

Although, that justification doesn't make you feel less guilty for deceiving him. And to make matters worse, you expected this to be over with last week already. But on your first date with the supplier, he had left the club early to deal with work suddenly. Giving you no time to spike his drink.

So here you were, attempt number two.

While you were meant to meet the supplier at a fancy restaurant first, Namjoon's plan was to skip that and get to his house as quickly as possible. Before the valet could open the supplier's car door, you leant through the open window, teasingly licking your lips. "I just realized," you purr, noting his eyes drop to your mouth and back. "I'm actually not that hungry. So how about we skip to the end of the night, and then you can take me out for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Your blatant offer works like a charm. 20 minutes and a car ride later, he's pulling you down onto his couch. Hardly able to keep his hands or lips off of you.

Tearing at your blouse he rips the buttons apart, his mouth sucking and licking at your neck. One of his hands roaming and grabbing at anything he can, while the other starts to hike up your pencil skirt. He removes his vest and buttoned shirt, not once parting his lips from yours. His large, hard chest muscles pressing against you as he pins you in between his arms and the couch. Spreading your legs apart, he grinds his crotch into your core and you can feel what effect this is having on him. And you have to admit, despite your mind being focused elsewhere, physically it's having the same kind of arousing results on you.

But this isn't what's supposed to happen. He's moving too fast and it's quickly getting away from you. You only want to get him comfortable and distracted enough that he completely lets his guard down. You're trying to poison him, not fuck him.

Pushing his chest lightly, you spring upright. Slightly out of breath you pull your hair over your shoulder covering up a little and running your fingers through it, trying to regain some composure.

"I could use a drink." You pant, batting your eyes up at him.

"Sounds good." He nods, his gaze dark and ravenous. Suddenly haulting he leans back down to kiss you. His hands gripping your hips as he kisses you back into the sofa. Abruptly leaving you flat on the couch with flushed cheeks.

This is better. One or two drinks from now, you should be able to slip him the ricin. He drinks it, you fake a headache, and skip home.  24 hours from now he has a heart attack and dies from natural causes. Nothing tied to you. Nothing connected to Bangtan.

"I hope you like-"  The supplier calls out, only to be interrupted by a grating smack at the front of the house. You startle upright, sitting alert watching the hall entrance. He comes from the other side, coming back from the kitchen, a curious look on his face. Both of you staring at the same doorway as Taehyung suddenly comes in.

Fuck.

Your eyes go wide, half not able to believe he is actually here. He wasn't supposed to be!  Namjoon had arranged for Jimin to take him out tonight. And you had told him you were going to meet some of the other girls.

The thing you didn't know; a week ago when you met the supplier at the club, you had also said you were out with a few girls, including Jimin's girlfriend. But she was with Jimin at that time. And Jimin was with Taehyung. And she knew nothing about any plans to go out.

So when you said there was a movie night tonight, he asked around and found out that was also a lie. He wanted to trust you. To trust that it wouldn't be as bad as his worst fear. Still, the more he thought over how you lied to him, the more he worked himself up, getting himself into a paranoid and anxious state. Until he found himself tracking your phone, following you to an unknown house.

Seeing you half undressed and with someone he considers an enemy, his anger and jealously turns to pure rage. It only taking a second for the scene in front of him to confirm his worst suspicions.

Unleashing his gun he shoots wildly at the supplier. Reason slipping from him completely.

Barley able to avoid being hit, the supplier dives behind one of the sofa chairs. Nearly being riddled with the showering of bullets.

Wrapping your hands over your head, you cover your ears from the explosive sounds. Still firing, and keeping the supplier pinned, Taehyung storms at you.

"Tae-" you start. The gun empties, but Taehyung couldn't care less, tossing it aside. All of his attention focused on you.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" He growls through gritted teeth. His hand flying down smacking your cheek, slapping you back into the sofa. "How could you do this to me?!" He screams, his voice wavering from the emotion in his question.

"I can explain," You ignore the burn on your cheek, running your hands along your body, trying your best to cover and redress yourself.  You never wanted him to see you like this, and the look of betrayal in his eyes is stinging your heart more than any slap could.  "I-," you begin with no next word coming. There's nothing you can tell him. Not while the supplier is right here.

Taehyung's anger aside, you're terrified to think what him being here means. Namjoon's plan is completely derailed. And Taehyung attacked the supplier, creating an entirely new problem. You're not the smart one. You have no idea what to do or how to fix this.

Where the hell are Jin and Namjoon?

Taehyung is so fixated on you that he doesn't see the other man charging from the side.

"Look out!" You scream. Only it's a second too slow. Taehyung doesn't have time to react and the supplier swings a ceramic table ornament at his head. The shattered fragments raining over you, as your boyfriend is knocked to the ground. The shoe of the imposing man booting into Taehyung's torso.

You dive towards them, driving your body weight into the supplier to separate the two men. Pushing him away as his heel scarcely misses Taehyung's face.

He stumbles back a few steps and straightens up, nodding and pursing his lips with a look of revelation. Seeing you spring to Taehyungs defence revealed much more than you had intended.

While you're attempting to help Tae upright, he quickly shirks you off and lunges at the other man diving through him and dragging him to the floor. Fighting for dominance and survival, the two men break into a brutal fight trading blow after blow as they struggle to overpower the other.

While you're relieved to see that Taehyung is the more skilled of the two, and mostly has the upper hand, you're mainly sick with worry. The ramifications of this will play out beyond this simple fistfight.

All you can do is get Tae out of here for now, and hope that the supplier hasn't realised that this was an attempt to kill him. Maybe if you're really lucky he will only think of it at face value. A cheating girlfriend and her jealous boyfriend.

"Tae," you grab his arm, dragging him back with resistance. "We have to get out of here. Please,"

He drops the supplier's collar, who falls back limply. Turning to you he has blood pouring down his face from a cut on his cheek. Intensifying the cold look in his eye.

"We? What we? Don't you wanna stay here with this piece of shit." He snarls, standing up.

"I can explain after." You tug him again. He can hate you all he likes later. But first, you have to get out of here. "Please," you beg for his agreement.

Staring harshly, he retreats from you. A pained look in his eye that cuts you more than any blade could. Anger, hate, rage. You could handle all of it. But there's so much hurt and sadness on his face. It's nothing you ever wanted to be responsible for. It's more than you can bear.

"Tae," you hold your hand outreached, gingerly approaching him.  He doesn't withdraw further, allowing you to rest your hand on his cheek. Your heart breaking further as he leans into your touch. Resting in your palm for comfort like an injured puppy. "I promise, baby, this isn't what it looks like." you coo, "I love you so much,"

His eyes close, his face scrunching in anguish. He wants to believe you so badly. To forget everything he has seen. To take you home and never let you go. He may be the first person you let love you, but for him, you are the only person he ever let himself love.

Turning, you use his softening demeanour to lead him towards the door. But the supplier pulls your attention. Neither of you were paying him any mind and standing in the corner of the room he's pulled his own gun from hiding.

Reacting without a thought you shove your back into Taehyung, covering him. Guarding him.

At the same time, a shot rings out and the bullet hits you. A painful, sharp sensation piercing through your torso that makes you stumble back. Losing your footing you fall into Taehyung, your body never hitting the ground. Taehyung catching your weight, lowering with you. Resting you on his legs.

Taehyung grimaces in pain, his hand wrapping his own side momentarily. The bullet went clean through you and cut his side before flying into the wall behind the both of you. Dismissing his own injury, he leans over your body, ripping off his shirt and pressing it and his palms into your entrance wound. Trying to slow the bleeding.

Looking up at Taehyung with tear-filled eyes, you're in shock. Every breath you take is sore but other than that, your body is numb. Your hands clinging to his, all you can think is that you wished you knew what to say or do to lessen his panic. The sweat on his forehead rolls into the cut on his cheek causing the blood to drip further down his neck and chest. The fear and worry in his eyes exposing what you can't see or feel. That you're losing a lot of blood.

The supplier comes over the top of you both. He presses the barrel of the gun into the back of Taehyungs head, forcing him to crouch lower over you.

"I was searching for a reason to annihilate Namjoon and his pathetic crew. Thank you for giving me one." He digs the gun down harder. Taehyung growls, baring his teeth in frustration. "Too bad we didn't get to finish what we started though, Y/n. Oh well." He smirks, cocking the gun for additional effect.

"I love you," Taehyung whispers, the finality in his voice breaking your restraint, tears gushing down your face.

"I-," you can only begin.

Another blast rings out that makes both you and Taehyung jump. The supplier's body goes heavy and plummets to the ground, smashing through the glass coffee table beside you. Glass shatters everywhere as he falls down dead, blood pouring out of his head, collecting into a pool.

"Fuck sakes." Namjoon sighs from the living room entrance. Standing with Jin, both looking over the destruction with disbelief.

"Hyung," Taehyung calls out, his voice raspy and on the verge of tears. "Help." He looks down at you, your face pale, your limps drooping as the blood loss is starting to make you dizzy.

Namjoon opens his mouth readying to scold his brother, but he quickly stops himself. His own faults glaringly obvious at this moment. Jin removes his belt, wrapping it around your waist he fixes it tightly, making you whine in pain, keeping Taehyungs shirt pressed to both sides of your wound.

"Can you carry her?" Jin asks his younger brother.

Namjoon passes all of you, walking toward the lifeless body of his enemy, shooting another round into the back of his head with a frustrated look in his eye.

Taehyung nods at Jin with wide, panicked eyes.

"Then bring her." Namjoon turns with a flick of his head gesturing to follow him.

Jin supports Taehyung as he struggles to get himself and you to a standing position. Finding more strength once he is upright, lifting you into his arms as you whimper and moan weakly.

"Taehyung-" you start, your words sounding breathless and weak. "I'm sorry," you whisper.

"Shh baby." He hushes you. "Don't worry about that now."

He gets you into Namjoons truck, laying you down the length of the seat. As Namjoon speeds to the hospital, Taehyung sits in the back, his legs under your head. Holding firm against your bullet wound while petting your head.

Jin takes Tae's keys and follows you in his car. Already calling a cleanup crew to get rid of the supplier's body. Trying to salvage what he can of the bad situation.

"Namjoon," you call out. Even as your mind is starting to slip into unconsciousness your worry over the family is consuming your focus. "the plan. Can you fix the-" you breathe heavily running out of air.

He looks over his shoulder, guilt overtaking his expression. Nodding with an affirming grunt.

"Plan? What plan?" Taehyung muses, the shock steadily drifting away. "What is she talking about, Hyung?" One look at the blame on Namjoon's face and it clicks into place. "What did you do?"

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this." Namjoon reasons.

"Are you kidding me? You organized this?!" He snaps, "How the fuck could you risk her like that?!"

"It was supposed to be easy. She wasn't meant to get hurt-"

"Well, clearly she did!" Taehyung roars, his hands bunching into fists.

"I'm sorry, Tae. I wanted to help." You whine, lifting your arm up to touch his chest, trying to soothe him in any way.

"It's okay, baby. I know you did." He coos kissing your forehead, Taehyung's rage immediately subsiding towards you. He takes your blood-drenched hands in his and kisses them lovingly. Kissing down your forearms, pressing your hands to his head in agony and want to have you closer. Wishing he could absorb your pain and suffering.

Returning his wrath to the leader his voice lowers, coming out like ice. "We're gonna talk about this once she's okay." He snarls, "And know, I hold you personally responsible for every second she's in pain."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Namjoon nods solemnly. "Yeah, I do too."

Luckily for you, you recover quickly, and no permanent physical damage was done. But the damage that was done to Namjoon and Taehyungs relationship, the repercussions caused for Bangtan, and the fall out from the supplier's death... well that's another story entirely.

[regrettablewritings]

Hi!😁 I'll give you another ship with my dear Lucifer morningstar from Lucifer cuz as it turns out I'm a hoe for a lot of characters but what can ya do? Thank you!

Aw hell yii, somebody's talkin' my lingo! 😎

Who the fuck put the Peeps in the microwave?: Lucifer. And no, it's not because he actually likes them or is curious about what would happen; he's seen plenty of Youtube videos enough to know exactly what happens. No . . . It's far more malicious . . . Generally speaking, you don't like the constant comparison of cats to the devil. But after getting to actually meet The Devil, you think that those believers might be on to something. Lucifer's whorey ways bleeds into his need for attention like red bleeds into white in the wash, and he's completely shameless about it. For example, if he feels like you may be focusing too much on work or, gasp, other people besides him, you run the risk of encountering a very . . . mischievous Luci. Not that he's not already a prankster, but he somehow becomes a bit more childish. Catlike in some respects. He puts your mugs up higher than what you can normally reach without having to climb on the countertop. He joins you at your kitchen table while you're reading over files for work and puts on his most angelic face, insisting he just wants to keep you company and will be as quiet as vermin in Dear Old Dad's house . . . then proceed to obnoxiously click a pen while pretending to solve a word problem, or eat cheese puffs obnoxiously loud. And then . . . the Peeps: The absolute prettyboy bastard used your microwave as a casualty of war, plopping the unplated, mutant-colored marshmallows directly on the glass and letting them go. To be fair, it technically didn't ruin anything. But at least he had your attention now -- because after fussing at him for making a mess, you were currently supervising him scrubbing not only the effected areas of the glass dish, but the rest of the microwave as well. Unfortunately, you can't say a lesson was really learned because now Luci knows that if he wants to get a rise out of you, what he needs is a bunch of candies from the bargain bin.

Who forgot to put the cat out before sex?: It's not that either of you forgot the cat was there -- it was that Lucifer wanted the bloody animal to give the both of you some privacy. And because Lucifer forgot the cat was there. He was simply too busy embracing you in a liplock and laying you down on the couch to notice the glaring eyes of the cat you had rescued from the shelter. Thankfully, you two didn't get very far before the lovingly-named Lucipurr released a meow, indicating that he had become flesh and bone in the few hours it had been since you'd last fed him. Suffice to say, after a startled Lucifer flung himself off of you and onto the floor, nearly breaking his ass on the coffee table (and the laughing fit that had induced on your end), the mood was killed. For the next fifteen minutes, that is. The next time he tried anything, Lucifer made sure that his efforts would be continued in the bedroom (but not before he did a complete check of every nook and cranny in there to make sure the furry bastard wasn't trying anything).

Who posts Vines/TikToks of the other doing embarrassing shit?: Lucifer absolutely lacks boundaries. The moment he discovered smartphones, social media, and all their potential, he was all in and recording as many videos of friends and coworkers as he could in as many awkward or unideal situations as they came. You felt bad for Dan being his constant target, but you were somewhat sure that Dan felt bad for you in a way: After all, you were dating the freaking guy and yet Lucifer had few qualms about posting a video of you, drunkenly singing karaoke in what was supposed to be a private room? Harsh.

Who breaks the most phones?: Lucifer does. He's not necessarily careless, but his part-time occupation does lead him to circumstances that tend to put his phone in danger. You, Chloe, Dan, literally everyone has told him to just leave his phone in the car if he's going to get it broken that often while on the job, but the dumbass never learns. Not that he really seems to care all that much: With his wealth, he can always buy a new one. Though, the only times he gets frustrated is when photos or videos don't quite make it to the transfer and things get lost along the way. Funny photos, suggestive videos, photos and videos of you . . . Photos and videos of you being funny or suggestive . . . Downright pornographic videos he had recorded of you -- Though don't worry: He's sure you'll be more than happy to help recreate the latter. He'd gladly help you . . .

Who dies first?: It should go without saying. It really should. But that doesn't make it hurt any less. Lucifer was always one to get caught up in his indulgences, after all: Somewhere along the way, he must've gotten too swept up in the thrill, the feeling of adoration. He tells himself this but it's really just denial. Closer to the truth is that it all really was just denial: He denied the idea that you would ever leave him, that you would ever die. Luci was never good with his own thoughts and feelings, but the way you made him feel was nearly enough to convince him that, in some way, you would just plain live forever. But of course, this was not the case: It didn't matter that you were fantastical enough to love and be loved by the Devil; you were still very much a human. Very much mortal. So susceptible to things like time and illness and injury. Lucifer was the King of Indulgences. It was extremely rare for him to experience regret. But when your time inevitably ran out, remorse filled him like smoke filled his lungs with every cigarette he ran through from the moment your funeral arrangements were decided. He could never regret knowing you, as much as part of him thought doing so would spare him this pain. He tried to think of how much better he might've been had he never met you, and it always felt like he was stuck in his own personal Hell Loop with everything going wrong over and over no matter how hard he tried to change it. He regretted that for as much time as he lived up with you, he felt like he didn't use nearly enough of that time to just . . . enjoy you. You in your mortality, your fleeting beauty and love that would nonetheless haunt him for however long he might go on for. So maybe . . . for eternity? This didn't feel like his own personal Hell Loop: This was his own personal Hell Loop. And until he learned to forgive himself, it would never end. So he'd be stuck here for maybe . . . eternity.

Which one I could see as being lactose intolerant: Neither. Unless they get brought down to mortal enough, Celestials generally don't suffer ailments, let alone from things like food allergies.

Who thinks they can do something really well even though they can't?: Lucifer . . . It's not that he's not smart. But by Dad, he is lacking in so much self-awareness that it can be maddening. He thinks he's pretty good at following Dr. Linda's advice (and, to an extent, he's progressing). But the fact of the matter is, he's incredibly troubling at best. Not nearly as bad as some patients, mind you, but when Linda admitted to you that one or two sessions of Lucifer completely misinterpreting her advice nearly drove her to consider adding a secret bar into her desk, you believed her and didn't blame her for one bit.

Who is more likely to get kicked out of bed?: Lucifer is a changed devil. But it's a very slow change. You're more than happy to understand and accept this, but that doesn't mean you have to let him and his issues walk all over you. Sometimes, the big dummy just says or does things without thinking -- or because he thought too hard and thought this was the best decision to avoid further strife. And you try to be patient with him about these tendencies, you really do. But that doesn’t erase your ability to be upset by these habits, or your right to be. And no amount of him buttering you up is going to be acceptable, even when he comes by your place, armed with a dish he so thoughtfully prepared for you. Nope, he can literally go to Hell with that (really, you’re sure the demons there would appreciate a nice beef wellington); you just need some space. Ironically, this may create a cycle wherein his need to make you happy again and have your attention on him drives him to constantly hover around you and attempt to win you over, which in turn just further frustrates you. It’ll likely keep going until you either snap or a loved one pulls Luci to the side and gives him a heads up that maybe he should respect your boundaries. After all, intention isn’t the problem here: It’s the actions taken. And as much as it hurts him knowing that he accidentally hurt you, he has to respect your need for time to cool off. He forces himself to go back to his place and tries to think less about how he feels and more about how you might feel, and try to work out ways to avoid similar incidents in the future. And even though the conclusions he comes to may not be perfect, you at least respect the effort -- particularly when he next sees you, no longer armed with snacks from your favorite bakery or bouquet-carrying teddy bears. Instead, all he has is an apology. It’s sheepish, and it feels foreign to someone who rarely experiences shame or regret, but you know his whole heart is in it even if he himself doesn’t understand entirely why that is. Which is good because that’s just part one of the process; part two involves him warming up that spot in your bed that’s reserved for him!

Who uses the computer the most?: You, absolutely. Lucifer's adorably but altogether completely crap when it comes to technology. Besides, he can easily find other things with which to amuse himself, and doing the paperwork is for other people anyway.

Thank you sooooo much for participating again!!! It really means a lot!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[tiptapricot]

I’ve been having a lot of Evil Robo BnT thoughts recently, so here’s a bunch of them! This ended up pretty long just as a forwarning djjdjd

Post DeNomolos, Evil BnT are forced to do a lot of self exploration and discovery

They’re two robots from the far future, stuck in the past with each other and the two humongously important historical figures they were not only sent back to kill, but also physically made to look and sound exactly like, with no way back to their own time and no further reason to carry out the mission they were created for

It’s a lot to adjust to

(Three uses of the f-slur near the end in a canon compliant/reclaimed usage context, and implied sexual content, but extremely mild)

It still doesn’t have much of an impact on them at first though, besides some anger and annoyance. They don’t feel emotions in the same way or to the same depth that humans do, so they kind of fall back on: this sucks and that guy was a dick, guess we have to live in the stupid past now, and that’s the extent of it

But they’re also AIs, and AIs learn and grow

They hide out in a cheap apartment for the first few months or so back, going out to steal money to pay for rent and to pick up movies and stuff, but it’s exposure to the world, it’s living. And the more they interact with people, the more media they consume, the more the rigid walls of their programming break down and expand

And that’s when things start getting complicated

Because that’s when things like morals, sense of self, purpose in life, and, to their horror, real emotions start coming into play

Their evil edges start corroding, things stop being as straightforward, and they start developing into their own complex people

Being Bill and Ted with a few glorified descriptors stuck on the front starts feeling… weird, especially when they inevitably end up running into them again and being around them more

Because they’re supposed to be Bill and Ted, but they aren’t, and yet they can’t completely deny the parts of themselves that are….. it’s frustrating

As a first step in both asserting and exploring their individuality, they choose their own names

Evil Bill chooses Willis, or Will for short, and Evil Ted goes with Theoneous, Theo for short

It’s different enough to feel like their own thing, while still appeasing the ingrained itch to take BnT’s place

There are gaps like that, a disconnect/mental dissonance between their consciousnesses and the knowledge that they’re robots, circuitboards and wires and code, like a separation between what they feel is them and what they feel is the robot

That’s an experience that continues as they grow, especially as they try and figure out what to do with their lives. It’s tough sometimes, to figure out where the programming ends and where their own wants and drives begin

They’re the only ones familiar enough with future tech to help each other when they experience technical issues or need repairs, and the only ones they feel comfortable being that physically vulnerable with

It leads to them being kind of codependent, but it’s warranted in a lot of ways

They also naturally stick closer to each other, because even though they grow to have emotions and are able to care about people, they aren’t totally mushy

They don’t get as upset about things, or as excited, and while they form their own kind of love for the people they end up caring about (without admitting it), they’re still never able to connect with humans in the same way they connect with each other

It’s this inherent wall, a difference in how they experience the world

Their forms of affection are machine based, just like how humans are human based. They’ll give each other cold packs when it’s hot or they’ve been moving a lot, they’ll do evening maintenance on each other, chatting while one of them has their hand in the other’s chest cavity, and they jump on each other or bang their shoulders together super hard, because they can’t feel a thing and they’re durable enough for it, and that’s fun to them

That doesn’t really carry over to human interaction though, and a lot of times they end up coming across as cold or mean

They generally have a rougher seeming relationship than most humans. There’s a lot of teasing and insults and slapping, which turns most people off from them, but that’s how they show they’re comfortable (it’s also how they show they don’t like people, but there’s a subtle and meaningful difference there, AKA that they won’t purposefully try to harm the former party)

Robots process sound differently too, for them it’s more of a physical experience than just listening

Will’s guilty pleasure is that he likes to listen to piano (secretly), especially Debussy and other classical that sounds similar. Something about it makes his circuitry feel good and fuzzy and calms him down

He doesn’t feel comfortable telling Theo about it, it still feels like a dumb pussweed thing to be into (plus it continues to make him have some most non metal thoughts about kissing and That’s DEFINITELY not something he can share)

They also both really like death metal. Though they were loosely programmed with the knowledge of BnT’s music taste, it’s not quite their style, and they lean towards the more intense stuff

They do that in most fields though, since it usually takes higher energy stuff to get them going/excited/into something

That’s why they roughhouse a lot, and mess things up, and drive recklessly, it forces their mechanics to process more things more quickly, and as a result gives them their own form of dopamine/adrenaline

Sometimes things backfire, they’ve fucked themselves up accidentally on more then one occasion when stuff goes too far or isn’t what they expect, but they’re always there to patch each other up

When their synth skin gets ripped or torn they don’t always bother to repair it, and underneath there’s a layer of see through hard plastic and their bodies look like those clear case electronics that were popular in the 90s (idea cred to @juiceboxfrog !)

They also have inspector gadget-like telescoping stretch arms at their wrist and ankle joints, but they don’t use those much because they’re unsettling to most humans. Definitely a leg up when they want to climb places the shouldn’t, though (idea cred to @showbiz-za !)

Theo is more prone to needing fix ups than Will, since the extra wiring that was installed for the time and space spanning camera DeNomolos gave him made him more susceptible to short circuiting, over heating, and other glitches

After awhile he just takes his left eye out and leaves it like that, keeping his hair in his face to cover it. It doesn’t do anything for the internal parts of it he still has, but it’s not like it’s a loss. The connection port kept sparking, and it was uncomfortable and kept fucking with his vision, so it wasn’t worth it

Plus he didn’t really like that it used to be a camera… or still could be

One of the things Will and Theo both have to get used to is actually valuing their own privacy and autonomy

When DeNomolos was around they were just his tools, tools that he didn’t even like

They honestly grow to resent him pretty fast, both with his treatment of them, and, when their emotions are especially out of control, his creation of them

They don’t talk about it much, or when they do it’s mainly anger, not addressing or showing the more raw parts they do feel, because that’s still foreign to them, and their circuits weren’t designed to process or understand more complex stuff

Complex stuff like how being around Ted more makes Theo develop a certain… insecurity

It’s not like the connections are hard to make: he looks like Ted, he sounds like Ted, he was meant to be Ted, Ted has a dickweed of a dad, and Theo had a dickweed of a creator, Ted has Bill and Theo has Will

But Theo doesn’t have Deacon

And while he doesn’t want to be exactly like Ted, part of him also does (it was made to). Part of him wants to be human, to have those natural connections and someone to watch over

But he doesn’t and it’s weird*

He tries to ignore it, chalks it up to his drive still attempting to put him on his original track of replacing Ted, and therefore making him more aware of the family roles Ted has

For all he knows that is what it is, he’s just a robot after all

Even though they aren’t really ones for mushy love, Will and Theo do love each other

You can’t not when you know the other person inside and out, literally

They joke a lot about that when they’re doing repairs (“Dude you’re holding my heart, pretty faggy of you.”), and though they laugh, there’s an unspoken intimacy to it, something that sits warm in their wires and goes beyond platonic; something (though they would never describe it as such) loving about getting to take care of each other, and getting to get taken care of

The jokes also stop being jokes after awhile and take on a charge, morphing into unofficial flirting

Eventually that charge sparks, and their relationship becomes a different kind of physical. That’s new, too, a type of exploration neither of them are familiar with, but it’s nice, it’s good, and it’s easier to write off as casual and not meaningful than anything else (for the record I do think this works/plays out different for them than it does for humans, but I will nOt get into that here or anywhere lmao)

That arrangement doesn’t last forever, though, because one night Theo has a bad malfunction that cause him to completely power down, and it sends Will into a panic

It takes him almost an hour to fix the problem and for Theo to reboot, and when he comes back Will can’t stop touching him and checking in and it’s weird

“Why are you so worked up dude, this’s happened plenty of times.”

“Yeah I know you just… you fritzed out and went limp and it freaked me out dude.”

“So? You know this is nothing to worry about. I don’t get why you’re kinda acting like such a pussweed dude.”

“I didn’t know what was wrong! That’s plenty of reason to be fucking worried!”

“Not for you! Not for us! Why the hell do you care so much this time?”

“Because I love you, asshole!”

And then there’s silence, and staring, and then Theo cracks a smile

“Heh, fag.”

Kissing after a confession, as it turns out, makes both of them short circuit, and they wake up three days later still tangled up on top of each other, half falling off the apartment couch

“Y’know… I think we’re both fags now dude,” Will whispers, and they chuckle in the space between their mouths. “I did it first though.”

*he does get this later with Billie and Thea, but that’s a whole separate post

(As one last thing wanted to add that Love Came Along by Pansy Division perfectly encapsulates the vibes of Will n Theo’s relationship to me, AKA something casual and almost humorous while still being super intimate and emotional, so def check it out if you’re ok with suuuuper explicitly sexual lyrics bfgjgfdfg)

Headcanons masterpost

[lillupon]

It's completely fine by me if you want to post my ask publicly! I guess I would want to include a little anecdote here though. Another reason why I'm so willing to forgive and move on from this is because they guys I talked about earlier definitely weren't bad people. I think that either way I would have turned into the person I was, maybe less strong but who knows. I kind of think mostly everyone goes through that stage at some point to varying degrees of intensity. Everyone comes across the idea of sex and all that it entails for the first time at some point in their lives and for awhile it's this huge foreign concept that we know nothing about. And yes, while I did mention that at times I felt uncomfortable listening to the things they said, I never once told them that I felt uneasy and that I didn't like it, so how could I hold that against them? People aren't mind readers. (I do have a feeling though that thry wouldn't care even if I told them lol. We were 11, and at that age when someone told me not to do something I made sure to do it). And like I mentioned, they were actually quite wonderful people once I got used to their hormone charged mess of a personality. Thise interactions might have been unpleasant but for a large portion of my middle school years they made me feel welcome in a new place which is more than anyone else did for me. I did move around through a lot of friend groups in middle school, mainly because I didn't have any classes with them, but no other group of people made me feel connected or understood like they did. We separated freshman year because we never saw eachother and to this day I still miss being told "Shut up bitch/whore" and then me responding with "I'll do what I want dickhead". It's mainly why I believe that maybe even if Gyu acted like an asshole, that wasn't his entire personality back then either.

“People aren't mind readers.” --> YEP, and you certainly cannot expect middle schoolers to be that perceptive. Young teenagers--boys in particular--are not well-known for how sensitive they are.

“they were actually quite wonderful people once I got used to their hormone charged mess of a personality.” --> Haha, yeah! You can be horny and nice! And people become much better at self-regulating this horny side of themselves as they grow older.

During adolescence, the prefrontal cortex is in a process of continuous reconstruction, consolidation, and maturation. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive human brain functions, some of which include: shifting/adjusting behaviours when situations change, forseeing and weighing possible consequences of behaviour, and inhibiting inappropriate behaviour and initiating appropriate behaviour. Combine this with hormones, and teenagers are susceptible to saying and doing all sorts of stupid crap. Many people grow out of their bullshit as they enter later years of high school, post-secondary, and the ‘real world’.

LOADING INFORMATION ON NIGHTMARE’S VOCAL, DANCE ZHAO DAXIA...

IDOL DETAILS

STAGENAME: Xia CURRENT AGE: 19 DEBUT AGE:17 TRAINEE SINCE AGE: 16 COMPANY: Koala.T SECONDARY SKILL: N/A

IDOL PROFILE

NICKNAME(S): nightmare’s babydoll, xixi INSPIRATION: daxia was largely inspired to be an idol by her favorite groups, who she’d began to love after seeing online videos. after winning a small talent contest at her school, she said that it showed her what fame and being loved by fans felt like and that she’d give anything to feel that for the rest of her life. from there on, she began grinding to work towards becoming the sweet and talented idol she is today. SPECIAL TALENTS:

martial arts - she started learning at the six and continued classes off-and-on until receiving her black belt at the age of thirteen.

choreography - after being a dedicated for so long, she’s practiced many years so master several of her favorite group’s choreographies from the last three generations, going as far as to try to mimic their mannerisms.

impressions - often teasing, but she has a special skill for impersonating both her members and other idols she’s fond of.

NOTABLE FACTS:

she was first found after starring on the show “superstar k”, where she placed 4th.

she once went on a trip to new york city and took a picture with rihanna.

daxia’s a huge fan of western music from the 90’s, and once a week she posts song recommendations for fans to follow and add to their playlist, along with an extended explanation and preferred method of listening.

she is known for her significant weight loss during her time as a trainee to debut, losing around 22 kg in a month. she refuses to say how, for fear others will try it as well.

IDOL GOALS

SHORT-TERM GOALS:

daxia does not hope that nightmare will change their concept, but instead that it will be better received by the public as they keep promoting, she also hopes that as they get more experienced, she will be more natural at fitting in with the dark concept. she wants to also better connect with international fans more, and hopes to be able to travel to china on tour and connect with fans in her native tongue.

LONG-TERM GOALS:

despite the cultural difference, daxia hopes to become a beloved figure of the korean entertainment. while highly ambitious, she hopes that she’ll have a lengthy and successful career and eventually be able to venture into other types such as acting and more variety. she wants to be a long term public figure known for her personality, and eventually be able to earn enough to move her parents to korea.

IDOL IMAGE

[did you see that new girl  they added, daxia? she doesn’t look like the nightmare type at all.]

cute face, devilish grin. daxia’s introduction to nightmare was certainly a shocking one, such childlike features accompanying such an eerie concept. and yet, in a way, it works. the deceitfulness in her smiles is just the soft energy they need. sure, nightmare doesn’t ever catch a break because of their concept, but in a way it’s xia who helps bring the cuteness back that they’re missing.

[i heard she’s the least talented out of the bunch, though. is she just a pretty face?]

upon her debut, she receives almost instant criticism. she’s lacking skills. she shouldn’t have debuted so soon. she barely can speak korean. all in all, everyone seems to view her as a trainee who still needs lots of work. what could she do? it’s not like she doesn’t agree, but daxia had been dying to make it big and nightmare seemed like her only chance. she tries her hardest to work hard, but they don’t seem to get past her swift debut and lackluster skills. the only thing that’s saving her is her charisma, even the anti-fans can’t deny she has an incredible stage presence and personality onscreen.

[yeah, i think so. but she’s a little cute….right?]

so koala.t uses a new method, using her downfalls as their strength. within a month of debut, they stray her away from the dark character it seemed everyone else was playing. instead, they have her play dumb. since they can’t seem to do much with her, they work with her flaws and make them “cute” to the audience. her korean, which is lacking but nevertheless improving, is told to be intentionally worse to play the clueless foreigner card. her voice cracks are made to be a cute mishap, and her lack of coordination can be attributed to her adorable clumsiness. koala.t feels that all her critiques have been swiftly cleaned up, but xia can’t say she feels the same. unable to be completely herself, to be made to be some quirky, relatable little kid for the public’s sake.

[i guess so. she’s sweet, at least. i think she likes what she does.]

but it’s not all bad, in xia’s book. being among the youngest of the bunch means she’s frequently doted on, and gets the privilege of teasing her members without seeming to mean. she’s known as “nightmare’s babydoll”, the sort of sunlight in such a dark concept. her fanservice and frequent streams make her a favorite among those who prefer personality to skill, something she can’t decide on whether she likes or not. whatever her beliefs, her marketing as the cute side, the “dawn”, of a hellish nightmare, has been one that’s put xia out of the darkness.

IDOL HISTORY

begin. from the very first few seconds she left the womb, daxia knew she was special. born a daughter, the only child to parents who for so long had tried to conceive a child. while she wasn’t hardly wealthy enough to be deemed spoiled, daxia always felt confident that there was a place for her in the world. her first steps, first words, first meal, all of it was caught on camera alongside the cheers of proud parents. they cherished her. cherished her so much that they never let her out of their sight. how could they, anyways, when all the bad in the world was so willing to swallow up girls like her? daxia was known to be terribly susceptible to colds, had an extensive list of allergies, and all the likes. even her asthma, which she felt was a minor setback, would result in panic anytime it decided to cause her some trouble. she was a small, cute thing, their bao, or treasure.

both in their mid 30s, they raised her in a disciplined yet loving household. to satisfy their fears, the girl was homeschooled all throughout her schooling years, drilled with lessons in math, english, and more. her friends all lay within her stuffed animals, and when she got older shifted to living souls behind her computer screen. with the bulk of social interaction coming from her parents and penpals, xia soon got bored and resorted to a different form of entertainment. something fresh. something….exciting. kpop. her parents, being extremely traditional, accepted nothing but the chinese ballads they filled the house with. so, in secret, she plugged her headphones in and began to fall a little deeper for the celebrities who seemed so far away. her hobby soon became addiction, and within a few months she could tell anyone who listened an alphabetical list of over a hundred boy and girl groups. you see, it took her away. away from her parents, from wuxi, from china. for once, she felt like she wasn’t trapped within her house but instead apart of something much more. korea, in general, soon gained her interest, and she slowly shifted from interest solely in idols to learning the language and culture. by the time she turned 17, she’d begun learning simple phrases and had her eyes set on the country.

if she was being completely and utterly honest with herself, daxia knew she had no place at home. she had no work skills, no real talents, only a passion and a kind soul. it was only when she stumbled upon an advertisement for a talent competition based in korea that she began taking the idea of a future seriously. a future with her passion, in which she may even be able to share the stage with her idols. daxia, being the ambitious teenager she was, worked her hardest to land a spot. staying up late at dance studios, visiting vocal coaches. her savings account, which had largely been holding funds from her job, was emptied to get her plane ticket there.

those dreams soon came crashing down, when her reign of superstar k quickly ended as she left the show with 4th place. the people had loved her bright spirit and small-town girl feel, but it hadn’t been enough to win a talent-based competition. with low spirits and even lower funds, she’d just begun her travels back home when the company she knew well, koala.t, contacted her in hopes of bringing her into the agency. it was clear she had a lot to improve, but her bright spirit and work ethic gave them a sort of momentum.. sooner than she ever thought possible with the talents she had, she was put into nightmare’s lineup. how was it possible? even daxia knew, with the optimistic lenses she saw the world with, that there was less celebrating than she’d hoped. other trainees had worked far longer, far harder, and had the talent to back it up. what was daxia doing, standing next to such talented girls? the thought haunted her, and the constant criticisms of her surprise debut didn’t make it any easier.

just like that, all daxia’s ideas of what reality was were all ripped from her eyes. she was thrown into the trainee scene faster than she could imagine, as her family watched on with shock. in a country she could barely understand, working to be just like the people she’d always felt were in another universe. the transition was anything but easy, filled with tear-filled nights of frustration and the same, sad homesick feeling whenever she thought of her family back home. she was 16, her parent’s bao, who had always been raised a baby. now, here she was, with the culture shock of her life and struck with the reality of independence and the entertainment industry.

nightmare’s concept hit her like a pound of bricks, as she had to learn concepts such as alluring and sexy. never had she been associated with these words before, but she tried her best to catch up with the rest of her members. the cute, soft daxia was certainly still there. but with such high stakes, she was willing to do whatever it took. she was already let go once, and she’d be damned if she let her only opportunity to be a somebody go through her hands like that again. her hard work seemed to be working against her, though, for every time

everyone swears her charm is in her uniqueness, but daxia wishes everything in her it isn’t true. because it’s all her differences that make her faults, and no matter how out there nightmare might be in concept she hopes they don’t say the same about her, the individual. so she smiles like everyone, tries to speak like everyone, and doesn’t dare complain.

because she’s different, she knows, but will do anything to hide from the spotlight and blend into the background.

[bonecleaver]

great short story™ (A humans are weird story)

This is a story about a man whose wealth was so great those who had less looked to him as the true paragon of wealth. But instead of letting his avarice cloud his mind, he instead replaces it with munificent actions in poorer communities. He was also a real debonair individual who always tried to do the right thing. He was so larger than life that all descriptions of him sound like caricatures, but that does not mean that he is a megalomaniac. Now prepare for the amazing story of Steve the Great. Steve started out like most revolutionary inventors with the only thing separating him from them is that he was trained by epitome of researchers and inventors. He was a quick study surpassing even the most grandiose expectations anyone could have had. Eventually he built himself a lab and sealed it off, except to get resources and food. When he finally came out of his hiatus, he looked very disheveled like he had been on three hours of sleep, but when he revealed what his years of self isolation yielded, nobody cared how bad he smelled or how unkempt he was, they would rush to him for interviews he really didn’t want. If one wonders what he built, they could just look at the pictures he snapped from Jupiter. Even though his tech was vastly superior, companies still tried to elicit it from him using force or saying they need it to buttress the human race’s defenses. Over many years he made covert constructions of a space battle fleet to go and live his herculean dream of ruling the galaxy. His ships after completion made themselves known to the world then shortly to all the galaxy. With one simple motion he transcended the abilities of any civilization in the stars in recent millennia. “Engage the FTL drive Sir Memeston.” commanded Steve. “Right away Steve,” responded Sir Memeston. “I thought I told you to refer to me as Supreme Emperor,” berated Steve. “Sorry my Supreme Emperor.” whimpered Sir Memeston. Then the FTL engaged launching Steve’s capital ship the Destiny Manifester and its support fleet into the Alpha Centauri system; spotting a small ship under fire Steve thought, I should help them or at least scare off their attackers. “All hands prepare for combat! We are helping that ship!” “Yes sir!” the crew responded with a mighty clangor. As the command was given shields were thrown up, weapons powered up,  all systems nominal, and targets locked. Then as they were rushing the ships, about to cause mass carnage, the  attackers left, because an entire battle fleet was bearing down on them. The ship they just saved hailed them “I thought I had just meet the most squeamish pirates but apparently I meet the only battle fleet in this quadrant. So which empire are you from?” blurted out the thankful alien. “From what ever I decide to name my empire,” declared Steve realizing he never thought of a name for his space empire. “But only the three empires have a battle fleet that size.” “You could call us the novice fourth empire,” retorted Steve almost sanctimoniously. “Well how many systems do you have in your domain?”asked the alien. “For now just our home world, but soon I will accrue the entire universe!” announced Steve. “A pretty bold aspersion to make towards the great empires.” said the alien with just a little sass in its voice. “You have been talking about these empires like we know about them.” “You really don’t know about the great empires?” “Yup.” “Well each empire controls about one quadrant, except this quadrant which is just referred to as the Expanse of Madness.” “Why is it called that?” “Because there is an aura of madness that keeps the bigger empires out and civilizations from developing past the stone age.” Steve let that ferment before he tried to wheedle more out of the alien. “Then my species must be very bizarre, because we evolved not very far from here.” “That is most anomalous, but there was always a chance that a space faring civilization would develop in the untouched depths of the Expanse,” finished the alien. “Thanks for the short history lesson. If you don’t mind my asking, why were you out here?” “Well rumor has it that there is a natural metal that is stronger than the iron carbon alloy that makes up the armor of every ship in the galaxy.” “I think my ships are made from the metal you are looking for.” “Well then your dream of galactic domination may not be the petulant dreams of a young and anxious empire.” said the alien. Then Steve said goodbye and left to make plans to invade one of the three empires, but he still didn’t think of a name for his empire 5 months later “If our probes are correct, the capital of the Th’rul Empire is the most powerful and technologically advanced empire out of the three.” said Steve’s tactical officer and son Gabe. “Then we will strike at their bulwark and show the might of humanity!” A few weeks later at the main Th’rulian defense station. “Sir I have detected a foreign battle fleet infringing on royal Th’rulian space!” “Nonsense no species would be mad enough to attack our capital. Well all technology is susceptible to malfunctions so we can surmise that is the most logical answer.” “Nonetheless, I will still send the message that interlopers will not be tolerated,” replied the small crab like alien. “Fine.” Back to Steve. “Sir we have just received a transmission saying that we are not welcomed,” said the comms officer. “Reply with ‘we will not stop due to some bovine drivel.’ Then increase speed and go into attack mode.” “Roger that my lord.” We got this, thought Steve, I concocted this perfect strategy that we have been practicing for weeks and their weapons will barely damage us, let alone destroy us. Back on the station “Sir, they replied.” Cue the station master letting loose a string of invectives. “Do we at least know who they are,” sighed the station master. “No, their shields and armor cannot be identified.” “How can their armor not be identified?!?!?” yelled the station master loud enough for it to reverberate. “It may be the metal that some of our scouts went looking for in the Expanse.” “Can we at least determine what kind of ships we are going to fight.” “There seems to be one super dreadnought, several battle ships, and a plethora of much smaller ships.” described the station’s tactical officer. “Anything on the dreadnought?” “Only that it has more weapons than our entire fleet.” “Well then we should take their transgression more seriously, for now we are vulnerable,” the station master with stalwart courage declared to the defenses to ready for the attack. Back to Steve “It seems our reply has expedited their response,” chuckled Steve. “We will dissipate any hope they had and force them to surrender their capital or we will bomb it from orbit!” The two forces were two amorphous blobs, with one bracing for impact while the other charges recklessly into the other, but bracing did not help the blob of stations from being all but obliterated from a distance. “We have just dealt a scathing blow to their entire defense matrix.” Now having orbital supremacy, Steve sent his demands and any caveats they might have. On the planet Th’rul prime. “My liege,” a messenger whimpered to the heavily armored Crab like King. “What is it?” replied the king. “We have been invaded.” “Surely you jest, for I am not that daft,” said the king pretentiously. “I am afraid not, my liege.” “Well, what are their demands.” “All they want is loyalty, resources, and information.” “That’s it? Why no territory?” “The want to have us as a vassal, which is where we would have a lot of autonomy, but still be under their rule. Also they said if we do not comply, they will start bombing the planet.” “We shall agree due to the fact the loss of the capital would put to many of our citizens at risk.” Back to Steve. “They have responded very nicely to our demands.” “Good, Good.” “Invite their king up so we can meet face to face, also make sure to scan for contraband. And make any of the sleazy looking personnel are out of sight.” In a very nice conference room on Steve’s flagship. “Thank you for coming up here so we can discuss your new provincial status in my empire.” “Yes, I hope this enjoining of our empires will go smoothly.” “Do not worry, we will not flout your empire like a corpulent deer killed on a hunt.”  said Steve very calmly. “ We will make sure the transition is very transient.” “You seem like a very astute strategist to be able to defeat us.” “I thank you for you adulation, but I had a full team of strategists to help me.” Said Steve with no hint of betrayal in his voice. “ We want to make sure to enhance our relationship from the very start.” “Thank you for inviting me,” vocalized the ex-emperor impassively. “Now let's eat. I hope none of the food here is heresy for you to eat.” “I don’t even know what that word means.” “Good to know so let’s dig in” After a few hours eating and drinking the two rulers got into a carousel and almost fought each other that no one but the two drunks knew why, but it was blatant the the two were going to kill each other. Even though the alien emperor had size on Steve, Th’rul prime’s gravity is much lower than Earth’s, giving Steve the upper hand. The next morning. “What happened,” groaned Steve. Gabe was there helping his father up with his big strong muscles. “Dad you nearly killed the emperor, but some perceptive guards stopped it from happening.” “Make sure that it does not disseminate throughout the empire.” “Yes, Father.” “I liked his demeanor, for he seemed like a man who really cared for his people, and if they were in another empire he would still protect them. I was going to suggest foisting the work of inculcating the population, but he may just do it willingly.” “As you wish my father,” Gabe left in a hurry to please his father. Hours later on the bridge. “You have permission to deplete some of our missiles for fireworks to signify our victory to all below.” “Sir you should also give a speech to mollify them further.” “I guess I have to do it impromptu.” Steve gives a moving speech on how he is going to treat the citizens. To the relief of many he won’t be a sadistic ruler. After curtailing the speech with a fly over of his elite pilots it was easy to see he has the support of the people. When news on his takeover got to the most extraneous parts of his new empire and beyond. The Garuck Empire and Shr’Tis ascendancy (the other two great empires) all they heard was; there was a shining, invincible, and irresistible fleet out there with plans of galactic domination. So to preserve their cultures and peoples they entered a coalition. After gathering the Th’rulian Navy, Steve sent most back to where they were, but he took some and put them in a fleet under Grand admiral Zak. So he can help lead them to conquering the remaining empires. At the coalition fleet. “We should attack first.” said a Garuckian admiral. “What if the rumors are true?” retorted a Shr’Tis admiral. “If we wait too long we may be attacked first.” “Fine we will do it your way Garuckian.” conceded the Shr’Tis admiral. Back to the Destiny Manifester. As the two fleets are working on moving and fighting as one entity. “The fleets seem to working well together,” said Gabe with some seriousness. Just then the entire coalition fleet jumped in, looking for a fight. “It seems we can get every bird with one stone here,” smugly declared Steve. Now the two composite fleets raced toward each other with no regard for safety. In the middle was a bloodbath so intense the narrator does not have the correct words to describe how brutal it is. In the end Steve’s Ships remained mostly untouched, but the ships under Zak’s control were not as lucky with fifty percent of the original fleet left. Now with both enemy fleets destroyed all that needed to be done was to go to the enemy home worlds and demand their empires, which is exactly what Steve did.

[k-e-r-r-i-o-t]

It's 4 am, going on 5, and I'm kind of just laying in my bed thinking. So, some of the things I've thought about so far:

Also, trigger warnings before you read: Mentions of cancer, speculations on the after life, mentions of death, honestly this includes lots of science-based thoughts so just in case, also negativity a bit. Not super bad but it depends on your response to just existential thoughts I suppose. 

You start out as a liquid, end up as a solid. If this is a kind of ‘mind blown’ thing on the internet, (and it probably is) then I’m sorry this is basically not new to you. I just thought it was funny that I randomly thought about it. Having the power of self-regeneration makes you more susceptible to cancer. If you don’t know, cancer is essentially the uncontrollable and unregulated production of various cells in the body. So because a person who has the ability to heal and regrow is already prone to reproducing cells rapidly, it means its far more likely that they are capable of experiencing a higher mutation rate and thus can have their cells cluster together forming tumors. I can’t help but think of this as a good limiter to that power. You have the power to regenerate cells far faster than any human being, but using this power can have severe consequences to your body, and can potentially cause cancer in what you regenerate. 

I hate the fact that evil villains' with computers don’t more often have epic gaming set ups. You know, LED flashing keyboard with an epic LED glow tower. For once I want a diabolical evil mastermind to really be just a super spiteful and pessimistic gamer who just decided to be an agent of chaos. 

The fact that no one has ever had an original thought. Seriously. I’m not making that up. No one has ever had a single thought completely original because all of our ideas are just electrical impulses in various patterns to be decoded. Our ideas are just feedback from what we interpret and therefore, we as animals are only capable of response and recollection. 

The fact that economics and the sociology are way more philosophical and applicable to everyday life than they should be. Like, I’ve had this thought a while ago, but in economics there’s this idea of paradox of value, in which what is rare is seen as valuable even if it has no practical use in society. But apply that to people, and suddenly what you see as value may or may not have a practical use, but it makes you think of why you like that thing. Just sitting down and thinking about why I love family so much, but others don’t even if they experienced the same childhood I did just kind of makes me a lot more aware of how different I actually am. 

This one is pretty common, but still a random thought. I will wake up one day, and it will be the last time I wake up. I might not even wake up. Just the idea that I will go to bed, wake up (possibly not even wake up), and that will be the end of my physical and possible mental existence. That’s a crazy thought. And yet even thinking about that, the only question that really comes to my mind is, “What will be the last anime I ever watch? The last videogame?” And it seems strange to think about that but I think the reason I feel that way is just because those things bring me so much joy I can’t imagine being incapable of enjoying them. I’ve imagined death my entire life, but imagining a life without what I’ve enjoyed my life with suddenly is so foreign. 

Adding on to the last thought, there will come a day where I wake up and never see my friends again. Or, in vice, there will come a day where my friends wake up and never see me again. What will my last words to them be? If I pass away, do I feel like they’ll be ok? When I imagine the idea of death, it’s strange. Because I don’t find myself as fearful of the loss of my life as I do the guilt of leaving my friends. Strangely that's just scary to me. 

There is no such thing as originality. This one is pretty much the same idea of no one has ever had and original thought. Logically, our entire lives our surroundings and capabilities influence our personalities. No one is genuinely unique because everything influences you to be the same. And I think a big fault is that we see that as a bad thing when it doesn’t have to be. Every experience builds us to be who we are. Even our birth, whether on the street or a sanitized hospital, influences us. And so every person we meet we carry apart of them with us. The good and the bad. And I think about this when I think about death. Because when you loose someone you love so dearly, you feel as though you are lost without that person. And maybe a small part of you is. But if it brings you any comfort you know that you were apart of their life. For better, and for worse. And regardless of how big of a part or how good of the effect, you were a person who made them the way they in the same way they made the person you are. 

Ok this is pretty long so one finally thought. As people, as animals, our emotions are nothing but self generated hormones. Our body, our minds, regulate how we feel, even if we have no reason to feel that way. And some are much more in control than others. So never feel as though your emotions are invalid. Because they aren’t. And in the same way they aren’t invalid, let it know they aren’t a battle. I know to some people it seems as though our minds are a warzone, but in actually they’re more like a conversation to me. Intrapersonal communication in which you just kind of talk to yourself and work through it all. As I said, we as humans only know response and recollection. Every aspect of our mind is designed to recollect, store, decode, and encode. And because of that, we can feel so many different things because its all about how we respond. Sit and have a chat with yourself. “Why do I feel this way?” Remind yourself why its valid to think to yourself, to enjoy whatever it is that brings you value, how every idea isn’t original and so you don’t have to be original. The world is all about perspective. How you see life. And I think that a lot of people assume being a realist means you have to be a pessimist. And you don’t. Because being a realist is just looking at what is real. What is possible. And really, because of that its just looking at all the facts. What makes you respond sadly. What makes you respond happily. Why you might respond those ways. 

Just random thoughts.

 compose information and also post them to numerous accounts on a number of socials media from a solitary interface or even dash panel.

keep an eye on all social tasks from one spot (thus simplifying a taxing task).

Several popular SMMS are on call. The majority of operate a freemium basis, ie essential solutions are cost-free to customers yet additional solutions are delivered on a paid for manner.

Excellent social media sites administration bodies must include a commendation method for all social networking sites notifications.

 And also making it possible for the material of messages to be examined, an approval procedure means that flaws and spelling inaccuracies could be fixed and links checked. The procedure additionally offers you and your staff members an odds to pick up from each other as recommendations as well as adjustments are actually helped make.

 A permission method are going to dramatically reduce the possibility of a significant social media problems. Nevertheless, it will definitely certainly not assure that nothing at all makes a mistake.

 Calamity recovery.

 Blunders occur. Regardless of how many surveillance measures you undertake, there is actually consistently a chance that something will certainly go wrong and an unsuitable information will certainly be sent, either given that one thing was missed out on through incident during the course of the approval procedure or even a hacker accessed.

 Thus, what can you carry out if the worst occurs?

 The only response is the boy scouts' adage: be actually readied.

 ' Being equipped' suggests that you as well as your workers should have a specific plan on exactly how to react swiftly and also effectively when a dilemma appears. As situations usually tend to be unforeseeable, this planning has to be actually adaptable.

 You should assess and analyze your strategy to make sure that it is going to actually operate in emergency. You likewise require to practice the plan thus your as well as your folks recognize naturally what to do.

 Social network occurs in real-time so you require to answer in real-time. Social networking site, actually, can aid you respond properly. This is actually ideal performing using an attempted and also tested social networking sites management system.

 A really good SMMS will certainly allow you to track just how your customers, leads and also everyone at large are reacting to the concern to make sure that you can easily respond with proper messages.

 Social network permits you to reach a gigantic amount of folks rapidly so you may inform them regarding the complication and just how you are actually operating to address it. This can easily enhance your trustworthiness with consumers and also leads as well as everyone unconfined ... which is what social networking sites for business is all about.

 Every so frequently, you need to have to step back to check your social media and view if everything needs work.

 While it is actually normally a really good tip to set up a profile page for any kind of promising or even primary system, a social media account that's less active or even dormant can really create an even worse opinion than possessing no account at all. As people, business little and sizable may be actually the preys of lax social media security. Getting out of social media is not a remedy. Social media occurs in real-time so you require to react in real-time.

What’s next for SNC-Lavalin: Five potential scenarios, from decamping to the U.K. to a wholesale break-up

While the political drama that unfolded in Ottawa this past week has many speculating about the future of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, the fate of the company at the centre of the storm is no less certain.

Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould’s refusal to interfere in the prosecution of Quebec-based engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin, despite apparent pressure from the Prime Minister’s office and other government officials, means the company is likely headed for a court showdown on criminal fraud and corruption charges over alleged bribery in Libya.

If convicted, the company could face a 10-year ban on bidding for Canadian government contracts. It could also find itself restricted from some international work, with bodies such as the World Bank cracking down on corruption.

A criminal proceeding couldn’t come at a worse time for SNC, which is already struggling with the underperformance of its mining and oil and gas segments, as well as the fallout from a diplomatic spat between Canada and Saudi Arabia, where SNC has significant operations. Those issues forced SNC to issue two profit warnings in recent weeks, and to slash its dividend.

Why Jody Wilson-Raybould likely never pushed prosecutors to settle the case against SNC-Lavalin

Investors sensing a Warren Buffett moment in SNC Lavalin should look before they leap

Here's how a new escape route could open up for SNC-Lavalin

They have also prompted talk of whether the company might need to take radical steps to reshape — or even break up — its operations in order to survive. With that in mind, the Financial Post examined five potential scenarios, from decamping to another jurisdiction to hiving off portions of the company, and assessed what they would mean for SNC.

1. Leave Canada

According to her testimony, Jody Wilson-Raybould was told by government officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that SNC might pull up stakes and move out of Quebec if it was not offered a so-called deferred prosecution agreement, a type of arrangement new to Canada that allows companies to settle criminal cases without the stain of a conviction. She said Michael Wernick, the top civil servant in Ottawa, told her a move to the U.K. was likely. Though it is not known if SNC itself made such a threat, shifting headquarters to another jurisdiction — with the United Kingdom being the most likely destination — would not be out of the realm of possibility for the company. SNC already has significant operations in the U.K., where in 2017 it bought WS Atkins plc, a design, engineering and project management consultancy, for $3.6 billion. While a move might appear to offer SNC a fresh start and give it the opportunity to negotiate future concessions from a different, potentially more accommodating government, most company watchers see the option as more of a bargaining chip than a real plan. “Moving could reduce the uncertainty, but I just don’t see how this happens,” said Frederic Bastien, an analyst at Raymond James who covers the company. On top of the fact that such a move would not stop a prosecution, or relieve SNC of other potential legal liabilities, it would also mean turning its back on Canada, where it has 9,000 employees and does nearly 30 per cent of its business. There is also the complicating matter of a loan agreement the company signed with the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec to raise funds for the Atkins acquisition, in which in agreed to keep its headquarters in Quebec until 2024.

2. Find a hometown saviour

Nowhere is the angst over the future of SNC-Lavalin more intense than in its home province of Quebec. In recent days, Quebec Premier Francois Legault has weighed in, warning that the company could be susceptible to a takeover or significant job attrition given its weakened state. Those concerns raise the possibility that one or more of the major players in Quebec could step up and buy the company outright. The most obvious candidate would be the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, which manages $309.5 billion on behalf of Quebec pension funds and insurance plans — and which is already SNC’s largest shareholder. Michael Sabia, chief executive of the Caisse, has vowed to “be a rock” for the company and observers take him at his word: Over the past year, the Caisse has boosted its stake from 14 per cent to 20 per cent. History also dictates that it is prepared to step in to shore up Quebec firms. A recent example would be the pension giant’s financial support of Bombardier Inc., in which it invested $1.5 billion in 2015 amid speculation the transportation giant might fall into foreign hands. But the Caisse isn’t the only possibility. “You’re more likely to see the Fonds de solidarité FTQ start building a position given (Quebec Premier) Francois Legault’s show of support for the name,” says Bastien, the Raymond James analyst. Created by Quebec’s largest central labour body, the Fonds has a mandate to make investments to create and protect jobs and promote economic growth in Quebec. A Quebec buyout wouldn’t absolve SNC of its legal problems, but deep-pocketed backers would at least help it to weather the storm, and keep it firmly planted in the province.

3. Good SNC, Bad SNC

While SNC might be tempted to try to find a buyer for the entire company, finding one at the right price could be a challenge, according to three lawyers with decades of experience in mergers and acquisitions. That’s because legal liabilities would be transferred with SNC in any sale, meaning it could be forced to unload at a discounted or even “fire sale” price — unless a creative solution can be found. The veteran dealmakers suggest one option might be to bifurcate the company in an attempt to isolate the business that triggered the legal liability stemming from the bribery allegations. “There are precedents,” said one lawyer based in Toronto, adding that the tactic has been used more often in the United States, usually to manage cases of insolvency or bankruptcy. “It’s sort of the good company/bad company, good assets/bad assets (split), which happened a lot in the financial crisis in the financial sector in the U.S.,” the lawyer said. “But it’s happened in other insolvency contexts where you try to ring-fence the bad assets and sell the good assets.” Another dealmaker pointed to the recent announcement that Gap would spin off its better-performing Old Navy division into a separate, publicly traded company to separate the brand with strong sales from the weaker one. In the case of SNC, he suggested, the “bad business” could be left in one jurisdiction, with the “good business” moved to another, friendlier one. But isolating the troubled business of SNC wouldn’t be as straightforward as the division of Gap and Old Navy, and would require some creativity to manage the rights and desires of all stakeholders, according to multiple M&A specialists who spoke on condition of anonymity because their firms may do, or have done, business with SNC. Even if it were to successfully conceive such as split, the good business might also have to change hands, one suggested. “You have to assume that SNC is thinking about what-if scenarios (and) one of the what-if scenarios is at some point they may be worth more in the hands of somebody else and if somebody else can maybe be able to cleanse this problem that has become so toxic for SNC,” said the dealmaker.

4. Asset sales

In the event of a downturn in business due to a conviction, SNC does have at least one significant asset it could sell to combat a cash crunch. SNC’s stake in the 407 toll road that skirts Toronto to the north has been rumoured to be on the block before, as recently as August when the company itself suggested it might sell part of its holding in a bid to unlock shareholder value. While there would be no shortage of bidders, some question whether there is enough of an incentive to sell without a larger, more encompassing solution to the company’s problems. SNC’s 16 per cent stake in the 407 could be worth billions, and is often used by analysts to set a floor on the company’s stock price. Claude Lamoureux, former head of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, notes that the 407 provides a steady income stream that offsets lumpier revenue from other operations. Spinning it off would be easy, Lamoureux said, “but at the same time, it weakens SNC.” Bastien, the Raymond James analyst, said a sale of the 407 on its own would not be enough to change his view on SNC stock. “I’m not a fan of companies selling their best business to shore up struggling ones,” he said. In a recent note to clients, he said SNC’s dividend cut “suggests to us a partial sale of Highway 407 may not be imminent after all.”

5. Maintain the status quo

Even if SNC faces a 10-year ban from bidding on federal contracts, there is no indication that it would be unable to complete projects in which it is already involved. Those include the Champlain Bridge in Montreal, which is under way, and the Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) transit Line in Greater Montreal. That however, may be small consolation, as company watchers note that the legal cloud hanging over SNC will undoubtedly make it difficult to secure new business, which in turn could lead employees to look for opportunities elsewhere. SNC will also have to deal with the other business issues that have plagued it, including a dispute with a client related to a mining project in Latin America, growing tensions between Canada and Saudi Arabia over human rights and other potential legal issues. One possible solution, as reported by the Financial Post this past week, could come from a change in the rules that ban companies convicted of bribery from participating in government contracts. Officials are understood to be looking at the possibility, but the political climate might make such a change untenable for now. It could, however, come into play at some future point in time, potentially throwing SNC a lifeline. Despite the political hot potato the company and its troubles have become, legal sources have also quietly suggested that Wilson-Raybould’s replacement as attorney general could take another look at whether the company should be offered an opportunity to negotiate a deferred prosecution agreement.

Space Invaders! How to Defeat the Crabs STD

  There are many STDs that can, at least initially, be so subtle that you may not notice them. They usually start out with very mild symptoms and then progress to the point that they simply cannot be ignored. Then, there are STDs like crabs. These little insects can be impossible to miss.

If you’ve noticed some foreign invaders in your “private territories,” you may have genital lice. These nasty bugs attach themselves to rough body hair and feed on the blood of their hosts, causing intense itching. Due to their similar appearance under a microscope, pubic lice are best known as “crabs.”

Creeped out yet? Fear not! With the right information (and a will to win), you can quickly defeat these pesky groin invaders!

Foreign Attackers

Did you know that crabs are technically a sexually transmitted disease? Crabs are attracted to thicker, more rough hair, like the hair found on the genitals, armpits, eyelashes, and face. While it is possible to get crabs in all of these areas, they are most commonly found on pubic hair and spread through sexual contact, hence the “STD” label.

Once pubic lice have found their home, they will begin to feed on your blood, lay eggs, and quickly multiply. If left untreated, there is a strong chance that they will spread to any sexual partners you have.

How to Spot Pubic Lice

Pubic lice and their eggs are visible to the naked eye.  If looking for crabs, know that they prefer to hang out around the base of hair follicles, so look there first. Since they are about 2mm in size when fully grown (about half the size of a ladybug), a magnifying glass may be needed to see them. If you feel itchy but do not see any creepy crawlies down there, they may just be well hidden or have moved to another patch of hair, deep within your groin.

Public lice are grayish-brown or copper in appearance, and they get darker if they’ve recently fed on your blood. They blend in with a wide range of skin tones, so if you are experiencing any prolonged itchiness but haven’t seen any, it may be best to treat for them, just to be safe.

How Common are Pubic Lice?

Crabs are a very common STD. Around 3 million cases of crabs are reported every year in the United States, and most cases are spread through sexual contact and fomites (infected clothes, bedding, ect). Pubic lice are highly contagious, so having crabs doesn’t necessarily mean you are an unclean or dirty person. But proper hygiene does help reduce the chance of acquiring these little buggers.

Symptoms of Crabs

Another reason why crabs are considered an STD is because they have an incubation period. This means that, like most STDs, it takes a while after contracting the STD for the symptoms to take effect. You will typically not see any symptoms until the incubation period is over. In the case of crabs, it takes around a week to notice symptoms. This is about the amount of time it takes the eggs of the crabs transmitted through sex to hatch. Only a few crabs are normally transmitted through sex, so you likely wouldn’t see them or feel their bites. Once their have hatched, a greater number of crabs will be biting. This is when you would start to notice the symptoms.

Itching is the most prominent symptom of crabs. Rarely does anything else result from the infection, and they will not transmit any other diseases. Red and blue spots can develop from crab bites, and some people have also cited rashes, broken skin, and even secondary infections from scratching. Also, be advised that some never notice any symptoms, and others may mistake the symptoms for something else.

Fortunately, crabs are more annoying than dangerous, and they are both easy to treat and do not make you more susceptible to other STDs.

Avoiding Crabs

Pubic lice are very contagious, but fortunately, they can only be transmitted in a few ways. Regular lice (the ones they check for in elementary school) can be found in infected bedding, towels, and dirty clothing. They can even be transferred from person to person through kissing with a lice-infested beard.

Like head lice, pubic lice require a host to feed on or else they quickly die. Because of this, it is difficult for pubic lice to survive on inanimate objects for very long. It is still a possibility, but unlikely. Additionally, their clawed legs are great for holding onto hairs and fibrous materials, but they’re not great for grasping slippery surfaces like toilet seats, making it nearly impossible to acquire crabs in this way.

Outside of abstinence, there is little you can do to protect yourself from crabs. Not even condoms, the ultimate STD avoidance tool, is effective at keeping crabs at bay. Unless they invented a condom for pubic hair. Now there’s an invention!

In the end, you have three options available to reduce the risk of contracting crabs: you can either not have sex entirely, limit partners to those who you know are crab-free (such as monogamous partners), or maintain a diligent grooming regime. And if you think waxing or shaving will protect you from crabs, think again. Removing pubic hair will only work if you remove all other hair with it, and even then it’s considered to be an ineffective way of treating crabs by doctors. The good news is that pubic lice are fairly easy to get rid of, they do not transmit diseases, and they will not make you more susceptible to other STDs.

Debunking the Myths

You can get crabs from a toilet seat:

You cannot get pubic lice from sitting on a toilet seat—or at least it’s incredibly unlikely. Pubic lice are called crabs because of their similar, clawed appearance. These claws are excellent for firmly holding onto hairs but are poor at grasping to slippery surfaces like toilet seats.

You can get pubic lice from animals:

Lice are normally specific to each animal. This means you cannot get any type of lice from your pet. Dog lice can only survive on dog blood, cat lice can only survive on cat blood, and human lice can only survive feasting on human blood.  

Crabs are the same as head lice:

Pubic lice are not head lice that simply prefer your underwear over your hat. They are a unique species that are very different from other types of lice.

Shaving off my pubic hair will get rid of crabs:

While shaving pubic hair may be an effective way to get rid of most crabs, they can easily move to other body hair, like your armpit or leg hair.

Pubic lice can jump or fly:

All lice, including crabs, cannot jump or fly. Since they can only crawl, very close contact is necessary to contract crabs.

Eliminating Crabs

Yes, crabs are annoying and bothersome, but at least they are easy to get rid of without prescription medication. This can be done with over the over-the-counter insecticidal creams, lotions, and shampoos. Treatments that have Permethrin (a mild pesticide), like RID, NIX, and A-200, are strong enough to kill pubic lice while not being too harsh. To ensure complete eradication, follow the steps below:

Take a shower and wash yourself thoroughly. Be sure to check all body hair, not just pubic hair, to locate all of the lice.

Follow the instructions of the medication. This normally involves lathering hair in the shampoo or cream and waiting a specific amount of time before removing it.

Most, if not all, lice should be dead and removed at this point. It is still necessary to go over the infected areas with a fine-toothed comb to ensure all lice and eggs are gone. Shaving is not necessary.

Crabs only live for about 48 hours. To ensure crabs won’t be able to lay eggs and continue to develop, wash all clothes and bedding in hot water and dry warm. This will kill any remaining lice.

Repeat the treatment as many times as necessary until no pubic lice or eggs are found.

Your partner should complete this process at the same time to ensure you are not cycling the infection back and forth.

Protecting Yourself and Others

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests getting tested for other STDs after successfully treating pubic lice. Though crabs do not make you more susceptible to contracting other STDs, they are typically accompanied with poor hygiene and/or other STDs. An STD test will always provide peace of mind for both you and your partner.

Some may go long periods of time before noticing they are infected with crabs. This is either because the incubation period is uncharacteristically long for them, or simply because they do not experience symptoms as bad as others. Almost all STDs have a trait of quietly increasing in severity. Crabs may be one of the few STDs that does not get worse with time. Treating crabs and getting tested is also important because it protects those closest to you. To learn more about how to get tested, click here.
