Hi o/ What's your favorite bug and why?

I was so delighted to be asked this question! And such a hard choice!

Jumping spiders are probably my favourite and for all the same reasons everyone likes them; adorable, intelligent, charismatic, photogenic, etc. But I don't feel like that's a very interesting answer because everyone already knows jumping spiders are cool, so I'm going with a less popular fave of mine: predaceous diving beetles.

Here's one I found struggling in a dirty puddle in a parking lot a few years ago (temporarily housed in a tupperware before being relocated to a pond):

When it comes up to rest it's refilling the air bubble under it's elytra!   This is a midsized species, but the larger species in the genus Dytiscus are some of the biggest and most beautiful insects found in the northern areas where I grew up. The adults will eat just about anything they can catch and are top predators in small fish-less ponds.

(Tw animal death from 0:20 - 0:30.)

The larvae are fully aquatic and are just so fucked up (affectionate). They move in a way that is very elegant but also alien and kinda incredibly silly. They will also eat anything they can catch (tadpoles, dragonfly larvae, each other, etc) but whereas the adults just grab things and bite them to death with their mandibles, the larvae kill their prey by injecting digestive enzymes and then sucking up the liquid.

(Tw animal death starting at 4:00).

As a kid I spent a lot of time peering into ponds and water troughs for bugs, and I was naming these guys and sorting them into groups way before anyone ever thought to buy me a field guide. They're a big part of what got me interested in bugs in the first place and I still have a lot of nostalgia for them.

romeo and romeo by supercrunch

((10473-1/1))

There’s a nasally howl from the neighbour’s place. Izuku looks up – it’s the very loud, very blond guy living in the unit opposite. They’re technically in separate blocks but their balconies are close enough they can see into each other’s living rooms. He’s dancing around in his pyjamas. Yodelling at the top of his lungs off-key, swinging his Pomeranian around by the armpits like a furry ragdoll. “You’re a dog! You’re a fluffy little yellow dog and you’re a pain in the ass but you’re still my favourite shit-stain, yeah!”

Izuku bursts out laughing. The neighbour’s head whips around. He yelps when he sees him, tossing the dog on the couch and scrambling out of view to hide in the hall.

Izuku drops the watering can and runs back inside to find his phone.Small Might: Guys. I've decided i have a crush on my neighbour.

Katsuki has a track record of bad choices, it's a condition, but Izuku might be the one choice that's right.

battle of the bands by roadtripwithlucifer

((smut-168158-26/26))

'The rules are simple. Battle of the Bands. Local bands send in a single track to the radio station, and ten tracks are selected. Over the coming month, the songs play on the station and listeners vote on the top five. The top 5 play a live concert as part of a music festival, then the top 3 at a larger, indoor venue. The top two have the honor of opening on the first stop of All Might’s retirement tour – here. In Izuku’s home town. And finally, the winner gets the ultimate prize. Getting to spend the rest of the tour, forty cities, across the country as All Might’s opener. Three months. Same tour bus. Shoulder to shoulder with the greatest musicians the world has ever known.'Izuku Midoriya is a broke college student presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. But winning isn't gonna be easy, especially when one band's aggressive blonde frontman seems to be dead-set on making Izuku's life a living hell.

“Don’t go through my shit, and if there’s a tie on the door, then fuck off!” Katsuki growled. “...what?” he asked. Katsuki glared at him. “This is fucking college, and I plan on getting laid a lot! I don’t need some nerd cockblocking me! And what is with all the fucking toys here!” Katsuki had moved over to his shelves. “Are you a fucking child or something?!” This was not what he was expecting.

Echoes filtered down the white hall as he descended the stairs toward the locker rooms, reverberating from the pool. A whistle, the sound of breaking water. He swiped the towel over his face, paused. The sliver of cerulean catching the sinking sun pouring through the skylights, the red and white lane buoys, the burn of chlorine.Izuku ran a hand through his curls, snagging on a knot. The clock on the wall reminded him how late it was. A minute wouldn't hurt. He worried his lip. Just a glimpse.

Izuku takes in a stray on one rainy night, except it's not a dog, it's a dog shifter who goes by the name, Katsuki. After the initial wave of panic and embarrassment, Izuku thinks his new pet/roommate is pretty cute.

But, whatever, Disney Boy over there was—

Prettying up real damn good that Katsuki got kind of distracted—totally understandable, like god those CGI pine eyes—and didn’t see the straight path he made for the metal trash bin in the center of the area until he was tipping forward and waist deep in discarded bottles, plates, balled up tissues sticky with he prayed was chocolate ice cream and nacho cheese.

Mina howled behind the gate. “Look, Katsuki returned to his home.”

The answer is very stupid apparently.

“I’ll make it up to you!” Izuku says brightly, lifting his head from Katsuki’s lap.

Katsuki’s eyes narrow but he isn’t still pushing Izuku away so. Progress. “Fuck are you gonna do to make it up to me?”

“Hmm…” Izuku says quietly, tapping at his chin. “Oh! You’re still a virgin, right?”

Katsuki chokes on his own spit and promptly renews his efforts of pushing Izuku away by the forehead. “Fuck off,” he wheezes, “get out of my room.”

leap of faith by ladyofsnails

((28771-4/4))

Midoriya Izuku is just a random kid who loves art, analyzes everything, and is obsessed with the (in)famous hero Mighty Spider. He's got a loving mother, a great uncle, and maybe not too many friends that aren't those two but he's working on it.

And then a random cute boy shows up at his school, a spider bites him, he meets his hero under the worst possible conditions, and it all goes to hell. Now he's got villains on his tail, a promise to keep to a dead guy, and a washed-up hobo as his mentor.

Here goes nothing.

“Woah, someone call the fire department,” Eijirou says, elbowing Katsuki squarely in the ribs. “That guy is smokin.’”

“I literally hate you.”

Here’s the thing, though. Eijirou’s a certified dumbass, but his current observation isn’t even a little bit wrong, much to Katsuki’s displeasure.

“Think you can get his number?”

Or, Bakugou is a painter without a muse.

And not that Bakugou’s the type to sexualize a potentially dead body; especially one that he just accidentally murdered, but the man has some pretty solid DSL’s. He would hit it, with more than just his car.

Izuku can’t stop listening to the radio host with the deep voice who sounds like he’s stuck in 2010. It’s a harmless crush. That is until he starts calling into the show under the pseudonym Deku.

dance with me by astralchaos

((30161-10/10))

Mina pulled up a video of a young man, seemingly teen, dancing to a popular new hit, and Izuku felt his heart drop to his stomach. His skin prickled and felt clammy as he started sweating nervously, not daring to move or make a noise. His eyes were glued to the screen but he didn’t see anything – his brain was too busy going into overdrive and freaking out.

Because Mina was showing him a video of himself. The one he uploaded last night.

How on Earth did she find this? He had barely a few thousand views, he wasn’t popular, and it’s not like he was even any good, especially compared to her or Kacchan–

“That move was sexy as hell,” Kacchan said, and that was when Izuku realized that his childhood friend – his longtime crush – also leaned in to watch the video Mina was showing him.

"So after doing all that," Katsuki says, "you're just going to settle here? Tatting up wannabe bad boys?"

"You think all guys who have a lot of tattoos are wannabes?" Midoriya asks, so smoothly that it throws Katsuki.

"Wh—no, I mean—maybe!" Katsuki says. "You'd know best, wouldn't you? Are you a bad boy?"

The words are out of his mouth before he even realizes it, and he regrets them immediately. There's a figurative list of things that one should never do, and probably high up on it is asking dark-haired sailors with ocean green eyes and black swirls of ink all across their barely concealed muscles if they are bad boys.

--

Katsuki thinks he has everything he needs in life: a successful pet shop, an occasionally reliable assistant, and the unconditional love of the twenty puppies he’s raising for adoption. But when the tattoo parlor next door hires Midoriya Izuku, a hot sailor with an affinity for dogs, it makes Katsuki wonder if he might need something more.

Like… a piece of that ass. Maybe. He’s figuring it the hell out as he goes.

Headcanon roulette! What jobs do you think the kagepro cast would have?

(CRACKS KNUCKLES) LISTEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HEADCANON ROULETTE IS BUT IF YOU CAME LOOKING FOR A SHORT ANSWER I AM VERY SORRY i am going to give you so many headcanons youre gonna pass out i am going to tell you my headcanons and WHY i have them and i'll also be angry at jin for saying bullshit about their jobs. it's gonna be a good time SO. MY JOB HEADCANONS FOR THE KAGEPRO CHARACTERS: shintaro: jin says he'd be a teacher and to this i say (rolls newspaper and hits him in the head). WHAT THE HELL MAN!!! shintaro loves music bro i GUESS he could be a music teacher but EH i don't see him like the sort of person who'd enjoy being in a classroom so my headcanon is the obvious: song writer/composer. obviously. bro seriously why a teacher?? this guy's SISTER work(ed)s in the music industry, momo would absolutely use her contacts to help shintaro build a career out of music! and if shintaro's music are the kagepro songs we know then they'd have success lol and yes this is meta but he canonically wrote tomei answer SO... COME ON. writing songs inspired on the events? bro. bro. bro. b ayano: whatever she does i think she'd 100% wanna work with children. if anyone wants to be a teacher it'd absolutely be her! i like to think she becomes a social worker/kindergarten teacher? just anything she chooses to do would be around children tbh. kido: everyone always makes a big deal out of her cooking so i like to think she goes to cooking school!! so a chef!  i know jin said kido would have an orphanage but. 1) wh. why kido. ayano is right there?? ayano makes more sense to me than kido idk 2) why specifically the OWNER of an orphanage that's just weird kjrfksdhgds i GUESS it's not as ridiculous as jin's take on kano's job (i'll get to that next) but still... it's gonna be a nah from me kano: listen. listen. my job hc for kano is VERY headcanon based so i don't have any Canon(tm) content to support it but i assure you it makes more sense than jin's bullshit take on how he'd be a P*LICE OFF*CER. LIKE. EXCUSE YOU SIR WASH YOUR MOUTH YES KANO IS A DICKHEAD BUT HE WOULDNT GET TO THAT POINT!! SO my take is... hairdresser. WHY?? GLAD I PRETEND YOU ASK: again it's very hc based but i'm just gonna say kido hates talking to strangers bc she's #invisible and seto hates crowded places + when they move by themselves with mary i got the feeling they sheltered themselves from the world SOOO what if from then on kano has always done their hair for them im JUST SAYING... I THINK IT'D BE SWEET AND COOL AND FUN AND ALSO HE SEEMS LIKE THE TYPE. come on kido's green hair?? kano's doing. please. it'd be epic momo: she quits being an idol BUT momo adores 1) being silly 2) making people happy. what would she do? my most cursed but also my best take: fuckign....YOUTUBER.... she'd be her own boss and she'd make videos of whatever the HELL she feels like doing. trying to make art. destroying her hair. doing drag makeup. just whatever dude like everyone would know her as that one youtube girl who used to be a massively popular singer but now films herself bleaching her hair 5 times in one night and it'd WORK seto & mary: ok for once what jin said makes sense to me but i don't think he even said it, it just showed up in saiyuki's comic where they have a flower shop together. like i agree with that, they would! but maybe after a while seto would go work/maybe open a shelter of his own leaving the flower shop for mary haruka & takane: ANOTHER two that i'm not mad about what jin thinks (thankfully can you imagine how fucking mad i'd be if he said bullshit about my faves' jobs lol) i mean haruka has his whole thing of how he wants to be an artist and apparently takane is a streamer which i'm not mad at. i'll extend on them: i think both would be freelancers, haruka with art and takane  aside from her streams she'd like coding! like after being ene she for SURE knows some shit and she's super into videogames so she'd absolutely get into developing games and stuff. good for haruka and takane, their regular life is a quarantine hiyori: i don't have much to say about her but fashion designer/model would work for her i think. she's like that hibiya: HIBIYA HONESTLY I JUST... CANT THINK ANYTHING FOR HIM i think jin said he'd be an archeologist which i mean ok?? but ayaka was an archeologist and idk it seems weird he'd also be one with no connection to her at all for some reason but im not completely mad at the idea since i do think hibiya would have something that everyone considers to be INCREDIBLY BORING as a job. i want it to be a running gag that no one KNOWS what hibiya does for work and he's super offended about it but no matter how many times he repeats himself no one ever remembers what he does anyway those are my headcanons subscribe and comment click the bell to get notifications everytime i upload a new video i'll see you in the next one

200202 Kyuhyun YT (Kyu TV) -Hyuk +Shindong+Wook

https://youtu.be/j_PiDGg-inA

200203 Kyuhyun's birthday

Kyu says he receives a lot of presents from the fans after his musical so he says he usually takes like 5 hours to deal with all the presents (like read the letters and look at the presents etc)

kyu was saying there was a fan who said he liked him for 8 years so he thought she would probably be in her twenties but shes only a high schooler and she started liking him since she was in elementary school so he was like mindblown

kyu just took 2 big bags of letters and said he usually reads those at night and if he doesnt read them, they will pile up 😂

Kyu says its okay even if you dont give him presents because he is earning well thanks to everyone so when he reads letters, sometimes they say its their first pay from working hard from a part time job and he is really sad

he says please go buy some stuff for yourself instead and just writing letters to him is fine

kyu says he received so many throat candies that he feels like he can live for 3 years just eating those that he has

the guest is shindong (and probably hyukjae) lol just now behind the cam, hyukjae was like 'are you not cooking yet??? im hungry"

kyu was chopping the meat then in the comments, a lot of people were telling him to be careful with the knife and kyu confidently said he has never cut himself with the knife

Hyukjae behind the cam was like hurry up im hungry

HYUKJAE SAYS HE HAS NO MAKEUP AND CANT APPEAR BUT HE ACCIDENTALLY APPEARED

Shindong told hyukjae to wear donghae's bunker hat and cover himself

Ryeowook asked why donghae wasnt there but nobody really answered why

shindong says if the number of viewers exceeds 20k, kyu will have to give them each 20k krw 😂

Kyuhyun explained that shindong was meant to be the guest that he invited then hyukjae is living there so he is also there then ryeowook heard kyu inviting shindong so he was like ‘what about me!!!’ and thats why he is there and why no other members are there

Someone gave kyu a shot glass that says ‘like kyuhyun(kyuhyun cheoreom)’..its a pun from the alcohol called ‘cheoeum cheoreom(from the beginning)’ and hyukjae was like everyone if you drink ‘like kyuhyun’ you will die...pls dont do that 😂😂

Ryeowook says he will drink his first shot of soju slowly and he drank like 3/4 of it and then hyukjae was like you should drink it all! But rw was like imma drink slowly..i learnt it from donghae hyung then hyukjae was like ‘.....what do you learn from that kid?’

kyu is asking fans if its ok for them to wear presents that were meant for a certain member like he was explaining at macau, he forgot to bring his cap so he borrowed hyukjae’s since he had like 5 caps in his room

And then hyukjae was saying there were many times where the fans pass presents to him and asked him to pass the presents to another member and hyukjae was like thats fine but please dont give them all to me 😂 because he also has to arrange his own presents and it takes time

And he mentioned like once he saw a fan posting on sns saying the shirt was meant for donghae but he ended up wearing it because he got confused like he thought the shirt was for him

Kyuhyun even took out a small muji bag and he says the contents in it were all for ryeowook (seems like letters??) and he received all those just from yesterday

Kyu was looking at his phone and saying who sent messages to wish him and he was like OH yesung hyung sent a message! Then he showed to ryeowook and ryeowook was like..so short >_> and kyu was like yeah he added an emoticon too! And rw was like free emoticon >_>

Rw asked if donghae sent kyu a msg and kyu said no not yet and rw was like what is this donghae doing.....

They are now talking abt how they are like when they are tipsy and for ryeowook, hyukjae says he suddenly has a lot of aegyo and pulls people to keep drinking. Kyu then says after ss8 seoul, they asked who wanna go for 2nd round and rw says me!! But he didnt go 😂

Kyu was talking about how one time they were in chile (for mubank?) and then they were drinking in someone’s room and hyukjae said he was going to the toilet but he didnt come back so thry went to find him and he was asleep on the floor hugging the toilet bowl 😂😂

Hyukjae defends by saying because he was jetlagged + it was when he first started out to drink + it was wine so he got very sleepy and drunk very quickly

So hyukjae says when kyu is tipsy, hes just pretty much the same but one thing he remembers is that if someone sings around him, he will start giving the person vocal lessons 😂😂😂😂😂

Kyu asked if they’ve fixed which day they wanna go watch him at the musical and hyuk says yes but rw says no. Kyu then asks if we know that theres a chart that was uploaded abt his schedule and it was made by him. He says he made it using paint and rw asked ‘whats paint??’ 😂

Kyu asked hyukjae like when he was living alone, were there times he felt scared cuz of random sounds in the house and hyukjae says yes and usually when that happens he gets scared and doesnt really wanna leave the room

Then kyu said in their current dorm, because he sleeps late, at 4/5am, he occasionally hears random knocking sounds outside in the living room and he thought its manager or hyukjae but when he goes out to see, theres nobody then hyukjae was like 😱 WHY DID YOU TELL ME

Anyway hyukjae says the scariest thing when living alone was when he watches some playback shows then he pauses it to go to the toilet but then when hes in the toilet, the video starts to play again on its own 😂 rw says apparently it auto plays again on its on after 10 mins

[go-diane-winchester]

Thank you for your kind words.  I was told apparently, that I am too harsh despite the fact that I am actually defending people, especially my boys Jared and Jensen.  So your words are like a salve.  Up till two years back, I was unconscious of this whole circus, as are most of the general audience.  The problem with fandom is that it may arrogantly feel like it speaks for the majority.  I enjoyed the show for its own sake.  I had no one I hated amongst the clinger ons.  I noticed there were J stans and ship arguments.  And I remember thinking ''what a silly reason to pick a fight''.  Just ignore the guy or ship that you don't like.  Why fight over an opinion?  But here I am, doing the complete opposite.  People actually think I am a troublemaker for tagging as provocatively as I do.  But I am doing it for a reason.  For 13 years, I was not a trouble maker. 

At one time, I liked destiel.  I am a multishipper.  It was just one more nice ship.  When Misha came on board, he was just one more guy to slash, like Osric and Gil etc.  I thought Misha was nice to the slash fans.  But I didn't begrudge Jensen for being shy about it.  Because I didn't have social media, only YouTube and Google, I didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.  Then I realized that destiel shippers were everywhere.  Every video, even a J2 video, had Cockles, destiel, Cas or Misha mentioned in the comments.  I thought that wasn't a nice thing to do.  Very invasive and sort of pompous to assume that everyone likes what you like.  Then Jaxcon happened.  The girl who asked that really unusually dumb question actually had me scratching my head.  Can a man not be another man's fan without people making assumptions.  Jensen gave her an answer that made me proud of him.  For a change, he didn't get upset.  He gave an answer that she needed. 

But then he got a death threat, amongst reams of verbal abuse and accusations of homophobia.  And said nothing about it.  It baffled me how quiet he was.  For six months, he said nothing.  And I just assumed either he didn't read them or ''sticks and stones''.  Then Jibcon '17 happened.  Jensen's behavior during the Cockles panel was strange.  Of course, people who were not there said that he was drunk.  But the uploader of the video as well as other people said that when they met him before and after the panel, they didn't smell any strong stench of alcohol on him.  In fact, he was sober.  He was enjoying whisky but he was coherent and not slurring.  Was Nesnej a whorish side Jensen?  Because Jared described Nesnej as happy and loveable.

Jensen is a very professional person.  Con is work for him.  If he was a newbie and got drunk I would understand.  But he's an old hat in this field, having done the most cons, from all the actors on the show and if anyone knows how much to drink, it would be him, because ''grape juice'' is an old joke at Jibcon.  Its not like they never had alcohol before.  If he wasn't drunk, the way con goers had claimed, then he behavior makes no sense, unless you understand mental health.  Like Jared does.  That is why Jared shut the panel down, a few minutes beforehand, for which Jensen very loudly voiced his gratitude.  

Jensen usually carries himself with great dignity.  He can be silly and sarcastic, but normally Jensen is a reserved individual.  Interrupting Misha and making loud noises, was only one offense.  He was making very provocative and sexually based jokes, showing Misha his underwear, to the point where even Misha seemed uncomfortable.  Then, when the entire bizarreness was over, he sat there on the verge of tears.  I remember my jaw dropping.  He had no control over his emotions.  I firmly believe he was suffering a breakdown.  Jared recognizes mental breakdowns, that is why he reacted the way he did. 

That particular panel was supposed to be damage control for Jensen, after Jaxcon.  The previous day he joined his panel with Jared's.  Remember, we got a bonus panel.  Even though, it apparently wasn't on the books.  He spent a few hours before the dreaded panel, clinging to Jared and/or crying.  In Misha's own word, Jensen didn't want Misha to hug him.  Now, I know that none of us know them personally to draw any conclusions.  But even I would guess that the emotional one is Jared, not Jensen.  Why would meeting a YANA volunteer make him fall apart when he has met war vets and dying children as part of his charity work?  Does he fall apart all the time?  I don't think so.  He couldn't control his emotions this time because he didn't have the mental semblance to. 

Why did he force himself to do the panel?  Why not stick it to the destiel fans for tarnishing his reputation and threatening his life?  Why not announce what they did, and shame them?  He can't.  He is straight, white and a male.  Which means that he has forfeited the right to complain....about anything, in any sphere of his life.  Somebody did a study on his supposed homophobia, because the accusations from hellers reached mass social media.  No matter what he says, it would have only given credulity to the heller's accusation.  "See! we told you he's a bigot''.  We are living in the era of the modern and very vocal social justice warrior and a heterosexual man has no rights in this world.  Least of all, a white one.  Btw, I am Indian.

I wish there was actual proof that I could use, which I can't find, but that waitress Jared berated on his SM page, was a heller.  She singled him out and irritated him so much that, according to a bystander, he burst into tears.  She was bragging to her friends about it and it leaked onto SM.  When I first heard about that incident, I was upset with Jared.  Why put her picture up without her permission?  When I started to understand what mental illness can be like and the fact the heller was targeting him on purpose, I can understand why he did that, and I don't begrudge him.  Jared said himself, that he cant please everyone, so he wont bother.  I am happy that he thinks that way.

Heller behavior made me set up this blog.  My blog is not for recreation.  This is not a social thing for me at all.  My reason for having a blog and tagging the way I do, is for awareness and for data harvesting.  I know CW data harvests.  And only an idiot will assume that they are not using Tumblr.  Last night I forgot what that purpose of this blog was.  Thank you for reminding me today.  The message was rejuvenating and gratifying.

what are we doing here and where we going to go?

its like we just woke up one morning and then its welcome to the show.

dont ask any questions just go with the flow.

make as much money as you can and try your best not to get broke.

copy everything you see on the tv from the hairstyles to the clothes

and dont think too often just do exactly as your told.

you ever get confused then turn towards the alcohol.

you still hear your thouhgts?

then just turn up the radio as you learn to live a lifestyle of drugs,

sex and rock n' roll.

but in all honesty, i just need to know,

is there more to the cycle than growing and getting older.

living and dying just to leave behind happy home.

and a whole lot of property that someday else is going to own.

i just really need to know before the caskets closed.

cause i'm not willing to gamble with my soul, nor am i ready to take any chances

these are just simple life questions and i'm just searching for some answers

like what are we doing here and what is our purpose

how did we get here and who made us so perfect?

and what happens once we go or is this world all really worth it.

questions we dont answer because apparently we dont really have to.

theres no purpose to this life and our existence merely natural?

in that case please let me ask you.

did you create yourself or was it somebody else who had fashioned you?

because you're being that's impeccable faultless and unparalleled.

you are a product of supreme intelligence and i'm merely being rational.

for there isn't camera on this earth that can come close to the human eye

nor a computer that can compete alongside the human mind.

and if the whole world was to come together, we wouldnt be able to create a single fly

so many signs yet we still deny.

as science tries to justify that all this could come from none

when it's simple sum, zero plus zero cannot possibly ever give you one.

so from where did all this order come?

for everything has its origins a maker a creator of its own.

i mean the only reason your watching this video is because somebody had to press upload

so you can believe in the Big Bang but i'd rather believe in He who caused it to explode

Allah, The creator of the everything along with every single soul

The Everliving, The Master, the only one who is in control

unlike this creation beyond our imagination and NO,

He's not a man nor has be any partners in association,

He's on his own.

and neither did He ever leave us alone

just like any manufacture he left us with an instruction manual

The Quran and islam and i'm sorry to jump to conclusions but it's the only one possible

the only definition of God as the one and Only, supreme being its logical

a book with zero contradictions with miracles that are both scientific and historical

all revealed over 1400 years ago

like the detailed description of the human embryo

to the mountains as pegs holding firm the earth below

and the two seas that dont mix in a complete separate flow

to the planets in orbit alternating night and day as they stay in float

the expansion of the universe and the creation of everything from H2O

to the stories of the past and the preservation of Firaun

to identify the lowest point in the land where Persian defeated Rome

the gushing fluid that created man in the gland between the ribs and the backbone

and not a world has changed its still the same

so please explain how all this was known over 1400 years ago

to a man who couldnt read or write, as he would recite what ever the angle spoke

and you still dont believe please try come up with something thats even close

but you cant.

so we took God as mockery and his Messengers as a joke

dismissed his scriptures as legends and tales of the ancient folk

as we life according to our whims, desires and hopes

saying this life is the only home we will ever know

we will live then die and simply turn to bones

YOLO

correction: after the grass dies the rain arrives it re-grows

and Allah promises to do the same thing to your every soul

and bring you back from your very fingertips to your toes

as the all Seeing Supreme Being watches us so close as we are surely being tested

in our wealth, our health, our self and everything that we've been blessed with

so believe for we will surely be resurrected

and be brought back to Lord in account for every single deed

as he hands us our books and order us to "READ"

from the bad to the good and everything in between

you, yourself are sufficient for you own accountability

so dont be mad at me, 

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO THOUGHT HE WOULDNT COME BACK TO ME

i gave you a whole life long to search after me

but you were so busy chasing all that which was temporary

so read

and glad tidings to all those who believed.

but if you disbelieve, READ

and dont let that day be the first day you 

find out what your life really means

AY2019/2020 Y1S1 Module Review

AY2019/2020 year 1 semester 1 review

Started school around august after orientation camp in july, and had to study after doing nothing for months after a levels and finally had the taste of the rigour of this major.. semester 1 went by too quickly..

Modules taken this semester:

CS1010S

MA1101R

MA1521

BT1101

GER1000

CS1010S Programming Methodology (Python)

Prof: Ben Leong

Exam Dates: 2 Oct (Midterm) / 16 Nov (Practical Exam) / 27 Nov (Finals)

Weightage:

Coursemology – 25% (25%)

Participation – 5% (5%)

Midterm test – 15% (-)

Practical exam – 15% (20%)

Final assessment – 40% (50%)

(those in brackets are for those taking alternative final)

S in CS1010S is for science students, most students are either science students (DSA/ Life Science plenty) or BZA students.

Overall this module easily had the highest workload compared to other modules, having to rush missions every week, complete tutorials (this is pretty standard duh) and lecture trainings before deadlines for bonus points on a gamified platform. One could sit at their table wracking their brains for the whole day and still not be able to come up with a feasible code, or have their codes stuck with some bugs and not knowing how to continue. Really, without the help from fellow friends this module would be hard to get through. Luckily my TA was kind (and patient!) enough to explain such that my brain could get it. Ended up having to IP this module sadly… This module really requires your wholehearted devotion and really tests your patience i must say, especially for people who are not too intellectually inclined (aka me)..

They introduced a new scheme this semester aka Alternative Final, meaning you get to retake your midterm and finals by tabao-ing it into the next sem except you do your finals during the recess week instead of the finals, kinda like a half-retaking a module? Your grades for finals are IP-ed (in progress) rather than letter grades and the finals and midterms will be accounted for in the following half a semester albeit under different weightage components.

They said its a introductory module, but …………..

This year’s practical exam was particularly hard i think i had friends (even the zai ones) getting single digit marks… banked full in on the Method of Life question (Q5) of finals which is a giveaway question asking you how you can apply the concepts to other parts of your life and your main take-aways from taking this module (filled up the whole page and got full marks for it 4m) without this question i would have failed the paper..

Now i have to work hard the next sem… its kinda sad for us BZA students because CS1010S is a prerequisite for those wanting to take BT2101 and CS2030/2040 modules in the following semester (y1s2). Future students (esp BZA) please take the advice to consider this when deciding whether to IP…. because guess who didnt and regretted not thinking deeper…..

Ah one more thing to take note is the weightage is quite different for those IP/ alternative final people, theres higher weightage for the papers :_D

Ben Leong is a pretty good lecturer, hes solid in delivering concepts except my brain may be a little too slow for him.. Theres also lecture videos online that you can refer to and thousands of papers (with solutions!!) waiting for you to do.. something uncommon for many modules i heard? also, you get to see your final (scanned) paper through a website, in ben leong’s words “how cool is that?” he also uploads the mark scheme for your reference which is pretty cool imo. He’s a very interesting lecturer.

MA1521 Calculus for Computing

Prof: Leung Pui Fai

Exams: No midterms, just an online quiz (4 questions, most get full marks for), and the finals

Weightage: cant really rmb the weightage but i think its 40-60? i think tutorial attendance isnt graded..

They said this was just a repeat of H2 maths with more stuffs well boy i must say this wasnt as easy as they said.. okay maybe for me, ive always struggled with maths for a really long time. Surprisingly got a B for H2 Maths, i got a B3 for O levels really the blemish in my results. Got a B- for this module. Many people will say this is an easy module, you can trust them a little different in my shoes i guess. I didnt turn up for lectures for the half part of the semester since he talks a bit too slowly so i just watch the webcast sped up. But being a procrastinator i’m really behind on webcasts by the time the exams came.. i think i spent too much time on CS1010S and its still not enough.. if you dont have the discipline to watch them religiously at home, i would suggest you go for the lecture even though he may talk abit slowly but it forces you to not miss out on them. I dont really had the time (is it i wonder?) to do the tutorials either so i was also behind on them.. most of the time i just sat for tutorials and took the answers down to only work on them many weeks later (much regrets) so i didnt really understood what was going on as the TA went through. please dont be like me… the recess week was for sure not enough to revise/ learn all the content for all your mods for both midterms/finals so please dont be lazy like me…. this is the suffering i brought upon myself TT

Overall i think. it is not that hard a mod if you do your work consistently.. things got a little confusing towards the end i heard they dropped a whole chapter this semester glad they did.

MA1101R Linear Algebra I

Prof: Wang Fei

Weightage:

Finals (28 Nov, 2h)— 60%.

Mid-term test (4 Oct, 2h)— 20%.

3 homework assignments (4% per assignment) — 12%. 

An in-class Lab (MATLAB) quiz — 8%.

This was one of my most hardest period in my life and i say this on PERIODT. As if maths wasnt tough enough, this will really declare a survival of the fittest among your remaining brain cells. Friends told me maths came into their dreams… pls extinguish my soul. You must be thinking i am crazy for wanting to take 2 math mods in a sem right? ?

Yeahh no one really does that but it was my idea because i didnt want to do maths together with all the core core mods (BT and CS) next sem so i decided ah i should just get maths over and done with ( hAH real joke bc i couldnt clear CS1010S and i cant take 2k level mods for BT and CS and unlocked clown outfit because theres one more ST2334 core mod that involves probability and stats so much for thinking i will be over and done with for dealing with maths– someone tell me why did i choose this major again?)

Somehow along the way i realised the bell curve for this was surprisingly high i think those who chose this mod intend to delve even deeper in mathematics, mayhaps i joined the wrong major. The R in MA1101R actually stands for rigorous i didnt realise until my friend read the fine prints in the SOC Course Curriculum for BZA or sumn. Pure hell. There are 3 homework assignments (graded mind you) and most of the students get around 50++/60 i think i was the one of the rare few who flunked quite badly and always eyeballed by my TA (who is a prof for some 3k or 4k level maths, not for this mod though). I approached him for consults and for help and he was nice enough to sit me down and explain slowly. He’s pretty good at explaining slowly although he’s pretty fast in class (and most of the semester i had close to ZERO idea what was going on in class for pretty much most of the mods). Shockingly managed to pull out a C from my butt. The intellect of the students are no joke.. Homework assignments are every 3 weeks starting week 6 i think (so week 6, 9, 12) and i think are there to make sure you catch up with the work.

Oh lectures-wise, i sat for ½ of his classes, i really absorb almost nothing.. the rest of the lecture hall seem to get it though or so it seems. so i stopped attending my own lectures to watch the webcast for Prof Victor Tan too. His webcasts/lectures are really popular and it really owe it to his teaching, apparently he taught Wang Fei before and of course had over ten more years of experience. WF’s lecture turn-outs are comparatively less compared to VT. And on panopto (webcast platform) i think it was almost always 360++ views for VT as compared to a 80++/ was it 30++ for WF if i recall correctly. VT slides are also more concise and simple to understand where as WF’s ones are similar to the textbook. You are also required to purchase a textbook for this module costs around $20 from the co-op store in science and i urge you to purchase it asap when the profs announce they are made available bc they run oos quite fast.. the tutorial questions are from the textbook and the textbook is very simple and straightforward and put together by some of the lecturers/profs in school.

BT1101 Introduction to Business Analytics

Prof: Dr Sharon Tan, Desmond Ong

Weightage:

1. Online Quiz & Datacamp Assignments — 7%

Tutorial 1-4 — 8%

Tutorial 5 onwards — 15%

In-class Assessment (Written) — 10%

Practical Assessment — 20%

Final Assessment — 40%

In class assessment is held 2ish weeks after your midterms week so its kinda like your midterms?

Mm i would say this module is the most ?? its hard to put in words but if you read up the confessions page (NUSwhispers) regularly you would see many complaints that the mod is structured not as neatly as CS1010S its quite here and there everywhere and personal opinion, sometimes i dont know what i am supposed to learn but i guess its like that? The profs seem to value not wanting to spoonfeed and us learning on our own and stuff like that. I heard the mod was much harder in previous years and they simplified it a lot compared to in the past (which i really thank god) but its still a bit ?? They split it into two halves, first half of the sem is taught by Dr ST (Descriptive Analytics) and the next half by DO (Prescriptive and Predictive Analytics).

There are online videos to be watched every week even though you get lectures once every 2 weeks when Dr ST teaches and tutorials to be submitted to your TAs that are graded only after about 6/7 weeks. They leave comments (½ sentences someitmes shorter) and your marks received and thats about all so you dont really know where you went wrong since they are not marked paper and pen way. The tutorials are coding exercises for questions using the R language. They also used Datacamp to drill some of the basics of R for a headstart. Her workshop style lectures are a lot of on the spot learning how to code and stuff which i lag behind a bit because she goes a bit fast in order to cover everything. We learn new content via the online videos that we have to watch every week and theres quizzes for them too weekly iirc.

The next half by DO had no online videos (great!! and no quizzes!!) but weekly lectures and graded tutorials are due every 2 weeks(!!). There are still weekly tutorials but its only graded for every 2nd one, wow this saved me a lot of time phew. I didnt get to do the tutorials for those that are not graded but read through the questions so that i get a gist of whats going on, and somehow i really dont have the time to do it? CS1010S really absorbed a large chunk of my time cries. Finals was a oK it was not that bad i think. There are 20 MCQs and then about 4 structured questions? Closed-book with 1 A4 sheet cheatsheet.

Oh and the bad part about the tutorials are the tutors wont provide you with the model answers/codes so you’re really just on your own. You either get it or nah. :_D

GER1000 Quantitative Reasoning

Weightage:

1. Tutorial — 10%

2. 10 Weekly Quizzes — 20%

3. Project —35% (Presentation 10%, Final Report 25%)

4. Finals (28 MCQs, 2h) — 35%

No lectures so no profs, just weekly online videos and quizzes.

Tutorials are every odd/even weeks depending on the slot you chose.

Groups are arranged by the TAs beforehand.

This was pre-allocated for us so (grits teeth). Honestly a waste of time. One of the mods i neglected till the end to focus on other mods (which was worth it). The workload was manageable, of course (if not how to neglect). Every 2 week you meet together wiht your groupmates to discuss tutorial questions (each group will discuss 1 qn) and every tutorial class ended about 30min earlier. Nearing the end theres a group project report and slides to be done. Report is in the form of QnA so you just answer the questions and slides/ presentation is going through an article of a topic you chose (theres about 10) and you analyse the QR part of it what is good what can be better, etc. Theres also a bit of the stats part with probability and stuff but its a OK. Bell curve steep for finals (40 MCQ, 2h) but most finished in 1h and left the hall, i was one of the few who stayed till the end even though i was just staring at the paper into the depths of my soul for reasons unknown) It’s a lot about experiments not really the scientific/ calculations part of it but understanding about coming up with experiments, the pros and cons of carrying things out a certain way in loose terms something like the art of crafting experiments? makes you think a bit deeper how and what people think and not so dry i guess.

Epilogue

i guess thats a wrap–new semester starts soon :( i think this might be the first module/semester review tumblr blog but i hope this can be of help to anyone, to anyone at all. the owner of many of similar review blogs get really stellar results which i may be too out of league from so i hope this brings comforts to those who are doing not so well and encourage them because im not any different we exist, and we’ll survive.

So here’s a charade for you guys:

Wireless Internet connection of 15Mbps for download, and almost 2mbps for upload is facing this specific issues since last Sunday:

every video I watch tends to stop loading after 30 seconds, only to regain back if I keep disconnecting and reconnecting from my router.

streams are impossible to watch because they constantly freeze, except if they are from youtube

every match I play of overwatch the game automatically disconnects me with that red message of “connection lost”

After calling my providor, they said that they would try and find and problem with the signal in 24 hours.

Apparently my computer is the only one facing those issues: there’s another gaming PC in my house, with wireless connection. and NONE of those problems appear on his.

Another details I think are important: I dont think it’s a problem with my internet board, because after typing ping MyIP on command prompt, I got an answer of <1ms with 0% failure. 

I tried using a wired connection on the same router....and faced the same problem. 

here’s a graph of my task manager showing incredible oscilation of my wireless connection, which is probably the cause of why I cant watch any streams anymore.

so what the fuck is wrong with my computer?

[theguywiththesixthsense-blog]

..

it is absolutely extraordinary how much just the mere presence of a person can affect every single part of your world so much. I have everything yet i have nothing. The emptyness and the void that fills up the space that occupied her eats up everything around me like a black hole. But then the key to everything is patience. The test has just begun. Patience is all there is left to do, yet my mind just keeps getting boggled with negative thoughts. My soft heart keeps getting whispers from everywhere, why am i doing this? Do i really need to do this? when i look at pictures of myself from not more than 24 hours ago, i ask myself these questions. So little has changed yet so much has been affected. One thing im sure of is that all these thoughts are acts of shaytaan and that i should avoid them or else it will defeat the entire purpose of this sacrifice. I know i am strong enough Alhamduillah to not give into these thoughts but i don’t know how long i’ll be able to hold myself. But i do believe in you Allah and i trust you and i hope i’ll have enough strength to hold myself for as long as you want me to. I know ya Allah that you will never burden a soul more than it can tolerate but please ya Allah please give me the strength to have patience. Make this time fly by like a breeze.

A little something i keep telling myself is that, she’s not going anywhere. She’s still here and im still here she’s not leaving the country or something she’s still in the same house as she was yesterday and im still in the same house as i was yesterday. Our phones are still with us and if we want we can start talking anytime, but we’re not going to do that and that is our choice. Because we want His help and i want to make Him happy. I think about all that and it kinda helps a little bit. 

The trick is definitely to stay involved in something or the other and not let the brain stay idle and think. 

So after college today i came home and instantly realized something was up when i saw mom’s face. Apparently mom and sis had an argument/fight over something. So i asked her and she didn’t want to give me details but all she said was that my sister wants to talk to him really badly and she can’t study properly without talking to him. When i heard this i immediately took it as a sign to go and tell them about my decision. so i went ahead and did and it was not easy at all ... i could barely speak but Alhamdulillah i managed to explain to them properly and my mom just ... felt sorry for me really. She was happy for me but was very VERY concerned at the same time about one thing which didn’t really enter my mind before, and that is how i handle things like these. She instantly replied with 

Shaheer i really love your decision but why now ? you have exams after a FEW days you will NOT be able to study like this why now ? i really didn’t have an answer apart from telling her how i thought i was dying the other day and i didn’t want to die like this and also that Allah will help me i believe in Him. 

I wish i could hug her ... but i didn’t want to show that im upset or anything because idk i feel like that is not what i should do i should be happy about deciding on something like this with the intention of ‘only for the sake of Allah’ but i couldnt even talk without bursting into tears so that defeats the whole purpose anyways i guess ._. meh whatever >_< 

After that i wanted to just keep myself busy somehow but all i can think of all the time is playing games which is what worries me so much and makes me think of what mom said. 

I have to get stronger. I just have to. I cant let myself break down. i have to be stronger for US. 

Didn’t play games though had to upload a 1gb video for mom TWICE cz i messed up the first time ;_; so instead just lied down and watched the zoolander 2 HONESTLY the most fucked up movie i’ve ever seen like .__. ugh whatever. Just came to my table now and i do feel a lot better than i was in the morning after typing all this. 

 Its isha time right now i can hear the mosque near me and the soothing voice of the imam. Honestly speaking when i stand for salah in front of Him, i feel a kind of comfort which even though lasts only for a very brief time, it feels really good. 

ok i REALLY have to pee now. 

[theconservativebrief]

On Thursday, Iowa Rep. Steve King took questions from members of the public at the Greater Des Moines Partnership forum. This sleepy-sounding event was interrupted when King became so enraged by a question about his views on immigration that he demanded security throw the questioner out of the event.

King has long expressed admiration for white supremacists and far-right politicians around the world. He once tweeted that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” The person asking the question at the forum, apparently a member of the general public, confronted King with the fact that his language on immigration isn’t that far from what the Pittsburgh shooter wrote before his attack.

The shooter killed 11 Jews in a synagogue last Saturday because he believed Jews were working to bring immigrants into the country, which he described as “invaders” who “kill our people.” The questioner wanted King to explain the difference between his view and the shooter’s, but before he got a chance to finish, King interrupted him. Here’s the exchange:

Q: You and the shooter both share an ideology —

KING: No, don’t you do that. Do not!

Q: — that’s fundamentally anti-immigration…

KING: Do not associate me with that shooter. I knew you were an ambusher when you walked in the room. You have no basis for that. You get no questions and you get no answers.

Q: I was about to ask you what distinguishes your ideology.

KING: No. You’re done! We don’t play these games in Iowa.

Q: I was about to ask you what distinguishes your ideology…

KING: No, you’re done. You crossed a line. it’s over. It’s not tolerable to accuse me to be associated with a guy who shot 11 people in Pittsburgh. I am a person who stood with Israel from the beginning. The length of that nation is the length of my life. I’ve been with them all along, and I will not answer that question. I’ll not listen to another word from you.

Q: If you don’t have a white supremacist view, then why did you travel to Austria and meet with a white supremacist organization?

KING: This is over! … You’re done! I want to ask whoever is guarding the door to lead this man out of the room.

Here’s video, uploaded by the liberal news site Iowa Starting Line:

To be clear, this line of questioning is not unreasonable. There’s no question that King is at least comfortable with befriending white supremacists and neo-Nazis. While leading with the Pittsburgh shooting is pretty inflammatory, asking King what separates him from the worst elements of a movement he’s played footsie with seems like a legitimate thing for a voter to want to know.

Indeed, in the past month alone, King has:

Endorsed an anti-Semite named Faith Goldy in the race for mayor of Toronto

Used money from a Holocaust memorial organization to meet with members of an Austrian far-right party founded by neo-Nazis

Warned in an interview with an alt-right publication that “if we don’t defend Western civilization, then we will become subjugated by the people who are the enemies of faith, the enemies of justice”

King, for his part, seems to see his response at the Q&A as righteous pushback against “Leftist Media Lies” (bear in mind the questioner was not a member of the press):

Leftist Media Lies have reached Peak Insanity and compared me to the evil Pittsburgh murderer of 11 Jews! Here is my reaction. https://t.co/ocOlnS0Zbg

— Steve King (@SteveKingIA) November 1, 2018

King’s support for white nationalism has gotten so blatant of late that Rep. Steve Stivers, the head of the House Republican delegation’s official campaign arm, was forced to condemn his colleague:

Congressman Steve King’s recent comments, actions, and retweets are completely inappropriate. We must stand up against white supremacy and hate in all forms, and I strongly condemn this behavior.

— Steve Stivers (@RepSteveStivers) October 30, 2018

King’s performative anger, and somewhat odd claim that the “length of [Israel] is the length of my life,” made clear he was offended by the question, but he didn’t provide an actual answer. Instead of explaining any substantive differences between his opposition to immigration and the views of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, King silenced the questioner, making it seem like he doesn’t have a good answer.

The tense exchange comes amid several signs that King’s extreme politics on race and immigration might finally be starting to hurt him politically. Though King sailed to reelection in 2016, his Democratic challenger J.D. Scholten is closing in recent polls. My colleagues Tara Golshan and Ella Nilsen report that Scholten has massively outraised King; major corporations that have donated to King before, like Intel and Purina, have cut him off in this cycle.

If King loses — his district is deep-red — the reason will be clear: He was extremely unsubtle about his appeals to white supremacist sentiment.

BBKY92 has posted!

By some small miracle, chanyeol makes it back to his apartment, jongin in tow. He thought they had taken uber pool but apparently not so they were having an impromptu drunken sleepover.

Chanyeol’s place is mini sized. It’s got zero bedrooms, one bath, and a small kitchen. they nearly trip over and die over the shoes at the door but somehow manage to land on the bed [if you can even call it that]. It’s nothing more than a futon on the floor with a bunch of pillows and some stuffed animals.

Jongin’s sprawled on his back, chanyeol side eyes his sockless state of foot that had probably been sockless since the start. That guy never liked socks. Chanyeol never liked sweaty feet from not wearing socks. It could not go on like this. He’s about to voice his views on this matter when jongin drops his phone on his own face.

Chanyeol bursts out laughing, jongin’s groaning background noise.

“are you okay?” chanyeol asks to be ‘polite.’ Jongin scowls and the phone slips out of his hand again. “you are not okay.” Chanyeol confirms.

“my screen is so bright dude.” Jongin complains. “its blinding”

“you can change it on your settings.”

“I did – oh shit!”

“what?!”

“kyungsoo called me.”

Chanyeol’s eyes widen. A mad kyungsoo was basically the end of your days. Or jongin’s days at least.

“why didn’t you answer it?” chanyeol asks in horror.

“I didn’t hear it!” jongin yells.

Chanyeol shakes his head and reaches for his phone. “oooooooo. he called me too.”

“seriously?!”

“deadass.”

“oh my god… I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up here any second now…” jongin blinks up at the ceiling seemingly having accepted his fate.

“fuck that.” Chanyeol scoffs laying on his side and snuggling the nearest pillow. “tell him youre staying over. Im sure he can survive one night without you.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

“stop saying okay.”

“okay.”

“I changed my mind, have him come here and get you the fuck out of my bed.”

“im sorry.”

Chanyeol throws a stuffed toy at him, reminds himself to say sorry to rainbow [his alpaca] later for using him as a weapon, and reaches for his laptop.

“I’ma throw up.”

“go to the bathroom.”

“okay.”

Chanyeol barely gives jongin the time of day as the younger male wobbles to the toilet. That’s what he gets. He had spent a whopping $80 earlier and it did not even include tip yet.

The alcohol is still rampant in his veins, chanyeols cheeks are flushed despite the cool temperate of his room. His eyes feels heavy, sleep threatening to overcome him soon. But he had some business he had to take care of. It was only 6pm [ they had been at the beer and chicken place for 4 hours before migrating to the nearest bar and ordering more rounds ] [ thankfully lit!jongin had been in a friendly mood and paid for it that time ]

Chanyeol quickly logs onto his tumblr and in five seconds flat uploads his video, checks bkhyn92s page, sees no updates, and slams his laptop shut. He lays down and is idly wondering if he had a password lock on there when he feels jongin collapse next to him, out like a light.

-- it isn’t morning yet when chanyeol wakes up next.

Its his turn to yack it.

Feeling like he was going to give birth through his mouth to a mutant chicken beer and soju blob chanyeol barely makes it to the bowl of his toilet.

“help me im dying.” He says to his shower curtain. it is of no help as the 2nd round causes chanyeol’s eyes to water.

After making a blood oath with himself in his mind to never drink again, chanyeol’s got the taste of tooth paste in his mouth instead of well. We don’t need to describe it.

The time on the microwave glimmers at him in the darkness.

10;30pm

Chanyeol settles on his bed, trying to ignore jongin cuddling rainbow the alpaca and is about to drift back off into much needed sleep when his phone vibrates loudly.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT.

BZZZZZZZT.

Ignore it, chanyeol thinks.

BZZZZZZZT BZZT BZZT BZZZZZZZZZZZZT

Don’t ignore it, chanyeol reconsiders.

With a dramatic FUCK MY LIFE muttered under his breath, chanyeol answers without looking.

“WHAT.”

“hello chanyeol.”

He blanches. That voice.

“s-soo?”

Do kyungsoo, the guardian of the seven rings of hell. No jk. But he totally can be if he ever applied for that job.

“nice of you to answer. I don’t know what I would have done if you didn’t.”

“of course. Um.”

“jongin there?”

“yeah. He’s knocked out.” Chanyeol says apologetically hating how he was going to get the blame for jongin’s idea to get shitfaced in mid afternoon.

“is he ok?” kyungsoo asks, instead of the SEND ME YOUR LOCATION for proof chanyeol was expecting. Kyungsoo was a bit overprotective in the cutest and deadliest way possible.

“he should be.”  chanyeol kicks jongin in the leg to see if he is alive. Jongin groans. “yeah hes fine. Did you want to come swoop him?”

“no way. He might yack in my car.”

Such a caring bf. That’s bae. Jongin was a lucky guy.

“well don’t worry, hes safe here with me. Unless he tries to draw a penis on my face. Then I cant make any promises.”

“my relationship turnover was coming up anyway.” Kyungsoo jokes darkly. Chanyeol snickers despite a small voice in his mind squeaking pls don’t hurt me through out this whole conversation. “by the way, I heard you were going on a date with Baekhyun tomorrow.”

Jesus did jongin alert the media? Was there a new snapchat filter for this too? which countries still didn’t know? Has that billboard for rent been bought out to make a glowing neon sign yet? Did he make a medical breakthrough to relay messages to fetuses in the wombs as well? You know, since he felt the need to open his big mouth and tell everyone.

“uh. Yeah. I guess.”

“I’m pretty excited to see how this turns out.”

“do you know Baekhyun?” chanyeol asks curiously. One part of him felt kinda weird talking to kyungsoo on the phone while his boyfriend was spooning an alpaca.

“we went to the same music school together.”

“oh.” Chanyeol, the greatest conversationalist ever. Replies.

“he’s a nice guy once you get to know him. Don’t be offended by his ratchet self. He may seem like a thot, but that’s just an image he tries to maintain.” Kyungsoo says helpfully.

Chanyeol meanwhile is trying to do some math in his head. Did he hear correctly? Was he still drunk? Why on earth would anyone want to up hold their thottie honor? This is why chanyeol was single.

“don’t tell him I told you this, but hes still pretty down in the dumps about his break up. He was actually serious about that guy. It just didn’t work out you know?”

“uhhuh.” Chanyeol wanted to know more but at the same time he didn’t want to pry. He was raised to be respectful of other peoples business. Baekhyuns secrets, personal and his, didn’t need to be told to him by someone else.

“I could tell you more if you want.”

“sure.”

That previous paragraph never happened.

“he’s probably going to try to smash.”

“what.”

“yeah. Havent you heard the best way to get over a guy is to get under another one?”

No. of course not. the last time he checked he hadn’t subscribed to the Thotsmopolitan.

“are you sure about this?” chanyeol asks swallowing hard, the feeling of nervousness deep-throating him.

“yup.” A yawn. “I might have said too much.”

“wait. So should i… you know.”

“if you like him, you shouldn’t.”

Ah yes. that made total sense. Don’t get into the pants of someone youre feeling.

“because that will automatically make you look like a fuckboy. it’s a test of sorts. That’s why im telling you. I think youd be a good match for him.”

“why is that?”

“youd just balance each other out.”

Chanyeols starting to wonder just how much kyungsoo knew about him. Whenever he third wheeled it was all good times; karaoke bowling pet cafes… nothing ever deep. Perhaps jongin be talking shit?

“anyway. Good luck tomorrow and have fun! Tell jongin he better be home before I wake up with breakfast ready or else.”

“yes sir!”

“goodnight chanyeol.”

sweet

   “So you’re chanyeol?”

“yes. last time I checked.”

Baekhyun looks amused despite the judgemental tone of his voice.

Chanyeol just looks uncomfortable.

The date came sooner than he would like [he had a mere less than 24 hours to prepare himself and half those hours were him hungover on soju]. Now he found himself sitting  in the same chicken and beer spot [seriously was there no other place to go to around these parts?] with jongin’s music teacher for company.

“and when was that?”  Baekhyun asks innocently sipping at his water. Chanyeol takes note of his hands. Theyre very pretty. Like the rest of the guy. Except when he opens his mouth. He seems to be snarky but playful which isn’t bad, but chanyeol is socially awkward at times like these.

He swallows a weird lump in his throat. “um.” He didn’t quite know how to answer that.

“kidding!” Baekhyun laughs. “I don’t need to know last time you checked.”

Then why did you ask, chanyeol thinks crazily. He sips his water too with a pained smile. Baekhyun was seriously intimidating and he didn’t know why. Maybe its because they were both sober and what kyungsoo had said echoes back and forth in chanyeol’s mind like a 1980s horror cartoon. ‘he’s gonna wanna smaaaaaaaaaAssshhhhhhhhh’ kyungsoo replayss in a creepy singsong voice.

“want to get something to drink?” chanyeol blurts.

Baekhyun raises an eyebrow. “do you want to get me drunk…?”

“no! no. I just.” Chanyeol rambles, horrified at the insinuation. He wasn’t a fuckboy!

“chill. I wanna get me drunk.” Baekhyun winks. “a pitcher and a bottle of chamisul sound good to you?”

“sounds good, yeah, great actually.” Chanyeol agrees nodding his head repeatedly. Baekhyun laughs again.

“someones eager.” Baekhyun comments. “or a raging alcoholic.”

Chanyeol pouts but he realizes Baekhyun is just teasing.

The alcohol arrives soon enough and after the first two soju bombs chanyeol is feeling less stressed and more relaxed. Baekhyun looks the same, a sign he must have high alcohol tolerance. Whos the raging alcoholic now?

“tell me about yourself.” Baekhyun drawls, gaze focused solely on chanyeol. His pretty eyes are outlined with black liner, and despite appearing as sober as fifteen minutes ago has a slight pink glow dusting across his cheek bones. “why are you single.”

Chanyeol blinks, has to seriously come up with an answer to that question. He ends up laughing awkwardly, scratching his head. “oh I guess I just don’t really have much time to date and plus its hard to meet people nowadays, I think… “

“How long have you been single?”

“Um… a few months,” A FEW YEARS, his mind and penis scream at him in devastation.

“Ooh. No hook ups or anything?” Baekhyun asks casually pouring a shot for the both of them.

Chanyeol isn’t sure if he should confess to not having boned in A FEW YEARS or to try and seem cool by saying he got hoes in different area codes. But he didn’t wanna be a fuckboy. gods, was this a test? There was no winning!

“No…” he ends up answering honestly. He takes his shot without Baekhyun and downs his beer.

Baekhyun looks truly surprised. “wow. So you’re saying you haven’t gotten laid in months?” he whistles, and takes his drink.

“its not really a big deal to me,” chanyeol explains hastily, defending his unwanted chastity belt.

“uhhuh.” Baekhyun nods, pouring yet another set of beer and soju. “hooking up isn’t a big deal to you.”

“no!” chanyeol exclaims. “no, I meant. Like. Nevermind.”

Baekhyun smiles coyly at him through his eyelashes. “cheers to that.”

“cheers to what?”

“hooking up.”

They down their respective alcohol even though chanyeol isn’t sure what the hell that meant but strangely finds himself not too worried. Baekhyuns presence is becoming comfortable, and with every shot, chanyeol feels like he can be more and more himself. Baekhyun laughs a lot at his reactions and stories, and chanyeol is captivated everytime Baekhyun opens his mouth, looks at him, pours drink, takes a shot, anything really. Baekhyun is truly gorgeous, and attractive af. There was just something about him and chanyeol is suddenly thinking about baekhyuns previous question except about Baekhyun – why was he single?

Ep. 12 - "Overthrowing the Government is my Kink" - Logan

RYAN P

ok. last tribal fucked me up. so much shit went down for it to be a 7-2 fucking vote. long story short i brought fam back together...i dont trust jd anymore...shes not playing with a clear head if she thinks its a good idea to come up with a plan to split votes with trevor to vote for owen and then tell everyone that as if trevor is going to be fine witht that...i cant play with that...also she did exactly what trevor did that made me turn on him...she acted as though she controlled my vote...i get it...you saved me last round....but im a player too and i can do think dont treat me like im some helpless puppy....im a pitbull and i was down for a while but my cone is gone and im ready to bite

JD

I'm so frustrated with Lydia right now. Well no,  I am and I'm not at the same time. We could have voted out Trevor. But i wasn't sure if Lydia would do it and she wouldn't, not as close to the vote as we were at. But i can see that and I'm i understand that and i wasn't thinking I suppose ether cus we do have a final 4 with Trevor and we need to just stick with that. I just don't think that it includes me and Ali in it anymore. But i also think I'm going home next week cus i pushed the couple. But meh, then i can 100% be into school lol

Having immunity really went to my head. Lol

TREVOR

https://youtu.be/1JShBDdkBnA

I forgot to mention that if sam actually didn't give the idol to Ali then it may be rehidden and owen can find it. 

ALI

Welp, I had made this as a video confessional, but the audio is beyond wack. For those of you who don't have ears, enjoy! https://youtu.be/QEr2T-Ho8fw Otherwise, enjoy the original, considerably shorter phone version, which I'll upload soon! In the meantime, an update! I HAVE AN IDOL NOW WOOOT! Sam bequeathed it to me, I'm his heir and I'm gonna pull all my competition's hair! But seriously, I HAVE AN IDOL NOW! EIFOAJSKFLASHGAUIOFKOJAIGSAGILSJAGSAKLGJSAJ! I am determined to avenge Sam, so I have my hit list ready and waiting. Its like Kill Bill, but they're paying the bill. And I want double service charge. Nevertheless, I'm cautiously optimistic for tonight's announcement (am expecting an instant tribal, which actually favours me, as it can mean that Ryan might go as the easy vote and put TLJoA in the majority woot!). Basically, my next targets are Ryan, then Duncan and Owen, then Trevor. I am out for blood :)

OWEN

Everyone is voting Duncan instead of a Ryan this round apparently so looks like Trevor is ruining something else for me and there's nothing I can do about it! My plan was Ryan goes and then it's Duncan vs Trevor at final seven which I guess won't happen but like... I want Trevor out next and I don't think we will have the numbers anymore and idk what to do. So that's that on that!!!! If I have to vote Trevor out next round myself Idk what I'll do. But would Ryan/JD/Ali/Logan all vote Trevor? And Lydia will prob idol him anyways. Idk Idk what to do

-

I don't understand how people expect me to work with them if they don't talk to me?? First Sam never gave me any names or any input at all even when I tried to get it out of him. So I got him out instead. The one time he did try to talk game to me it was so fucking obvious he knew something was up because it was so out of character. It was literally. Dumb. And now Trevor is telling me Lydia says that I don't talk to her. I don't get it. I understand Lydia is busy and I respect her schedule. But the last three times I've tried to talk to her she stops answering. She only talks game with Trevor I guess. And then trevor gets mad st me for not...? Idk!!! Why would she say I don't talk to her when it's her that doesn't message me back?? It's so frustrating in an ally. Especially when she messages Trevor at least. Like I don't want to work with Lydia and Trevor anymore at all. But at this point like.... who is gonna vote Trevor? Nobody. Nobody is gonna make a move anymore. Duncan and Logan wanted to play the game and would talk and play with me. Lydia and Trevor.... don't?? Idk. I guess Trevor talks to me but he also just tells me what to do which. Didn't work out for him the last few times because I changed his mind to vote Matt and Sam. It wasn't ENTIRELY me but it started with me. And then the david thing was mostly cause I didn't just agree to do Logan. So this time I have to keep my mouth shut and vote Duncan. Trevor says I can't always get my way and I know that!!!!! But he's gonna keep getting his!!!! :D and there's nothing I can do about it!!!!!!!! I'm used to this situation. I am used to being helpless at the hands of a threat that nobody sees or that people are willing to play for. I'm not used to it being my boyfriend yikes Idk I guess it feels like I'm David and he's Goliath ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but idk how to fight back without letting things get personal. Msdjjdjd I feel like the ultimate woman scorned but I guess I can't bitch too much cause I got my way the last few times hnnnnngh Idk! Let's see how this all goes from here!!! Logan[3/25/17, 8:52:55 PM] Ali: I'm sure there are. Do we try and change this vote then? I'm up for that [3/25/17, 8:53:07 PM] Logan (Death Valley Host): We’ve got 37 minutes [3/25/17, 8:53:17 PM] Ali: Welp [3/25/17, 8:53:25 PM] Logan (Death Valley Host): The point of an instant [3/25/17, 8:53:35 PM] Logan (Death Valley Host): We can knock out the easy ones or we could fuck up a power house [3/25/17, 8:53:44 PM] Ali: Lmao [3/25/17, 8:53:48 PM] Logan (Death Valley Host): and boy, overthrowing the government is my kink

DUNCAN

I'm going to be blunt. It sucks that I'm at work and we're having a live tribal  and it blows. I'm going home, I don't have time to scramble, I don't have time to mist people and I don't have time to form a good plan. My Hail Mary is going for Trevor, let's see if it works? Probably not. I can't even enjoy my getting Samuel out party. I guess fast forward tribals are the ugliest. Ariel left like his in motu and I guess I'm following he same path
