This shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but it bugs me that there's no area rug of some kind in V's Megabuilding apartment. That giant open space in the middle makes my eye twitch every time I see it.

Birthday Surprise
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ba57a4ce1cb25a2d7c96ad03a1544857/16260ded7ce0a3d5-e9/s540x810/ea40d60908580bca4d8a5bcbf4a62324c81dbb93.jpg)
One Shot (based on this request) Summary: Harry surprises YN on her birthday.
Being in a long distance relationship had its pros and cons. The pros being that any time spent together was cherished, and spent wisely. Making the most of each others company until one or the other had to jet back off again.
Long distance required creativity, whilst other couples would go to the local restaurant for dinner or to the cinema for a date, Harry and YN would order the same takeaway to be delivered to their separate homes and eat together over FaceTime, or press play at the same time to watch their favourite movies together.
One of the many cons to their relationship was missing out on events due to work commitments, not being able to schedule travel arrangements or last minute plans that meant the other wouldnât make it in time.
Harry knew it was a little harsh, but he couldnât wait to see the surprise on her face when she realised what had happened. Itâs YNâs birthday and he may have told her a tiny little lie.
âI am really sorry I canât make your birthday, babeâ. Harry spoke into the phone, feeling grateful he wasnât on FaceTime so he could hide his grin.
âThats okay love, weâre used to these things, plus youâre needed in the studio so it canât be helpedâ. Whilst YN was understanding and it was something she had grown used to, it doesnât mean she didnât feel upset on the inside.
âYou have a good time, yeah? And send me lots of photosâ. Harry hated lying but he knew it was going to be worth it in the end.
âI miss you!â. The words slipped from her lips as she noticed the photo of them by the side of her bed.
âI miss you too baby, weâll see each other soon okay? I promise!â. In a few hours to be exact, Harry thought to himself.
Along with Harry, YNâs family had organised for all her family and close friends to have a small gathering at their house to celebrate her birthday. Each room had been decorated with banners, balloon and photos of YN growing up over the years.
The house was full of YNâs favourite people, apart from the one person she wanted to see. But she didnât want to let it spoil her night, so she mingled with her family, catching up with her aunts and cousins, she laughed at her Grandpaâs silly jokes and danced with her best friends.
âThings haven't been quite the sameâŚThere's a haze on the horizon, babeâŚIt's only been a couple of daysâŚAnd I miss you, mm, yeahâ.
The sound of Harryâs voice through the speaker, caused the house to look in YNâs direction as her boyfriendâs song played.
But YN continued to sing and dance, wanting to enjoy her night, knowing Harry would want her to do the same.
âWe've been doin' all this late night talkin'âŚ'Bout anythin' you want until the mornin'âŚNow you're in my lifeâŚI can't get you off my mindâ.
If YN couldnât have her boyfriend with her in reality, then she would take the next best thing. Her boyfriendâs songs written about her blaring through the speakers as she danced with her besties.
It was a little later on in the evening and YN couldnât help but frown as she looked at her messages with Harry. She had sent him multiple photos and texts of her party, but noticed he hadnât replied once.
The sound of people beginning to sing snapped her from her thoughts as she placed her phone back into hiding. âHappy birthday to youâŚhappy birthday to youâŚâ.
But what caught her totally off guard was Harry standing in front of her with a candle lit cake. Her whole body was shocked, unable to move as she tried to process if he was really standing there or if it was her mind playing tricks on her.
âHarry!â. YNâs feet moved quickly towards him, him placing the cake to the side as he opened his arms for her. âWhat? How? You said you couldnât make it!â.
He held her tight against him, enjoying the feeling of having her in his arms again, the smell of her perfume circling them. âI wanted to surprise you!â.
Her head nuzzled further into his necks as neither of them make an effort to move. âThe best birthday everâ.
YN took her head from under his neck to take a look at the man in front of her. âHappy birthday baby!â. Harry quickly dipped his head to capture her lips with his, for the first time in months.

AI Art mistakes Episode 1: Gravity Falls as an 80s mystery movie.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ad44d7515e5f6bd3ac6a0fc5a7d140c5/6019934312930967-0e/s540x810/292be1351d5f137b9cfcfe88ee79a26db3b6ce87.jpg)
Like usual, AI struggles to replicate text. There are a number of reasons why an AI generated background image is a bad idea under most circumstances, especially as a final draft.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c565334c759f3377c04f8aa1428c653c/6019934312930967-b4/s540x810/8d2820bda526867874418a23923a3172f9711345.webp)
Here is an actual picture of the Mystery Shack from the show. This design was based off of research done by the team working on the show. They travelled to actual tourist traps in order to find objects to draw as background details, like the signs and decor around the shack.
The AI version doesnât scream tourist trap house, it screams random gas station [which is what I assume the rectangles in the far bottom right are supposed to represent]. The scale of the signage on the real design gives us insight into Stan Pines, the owner of the business, and what we can expect to find on a tour. The moss, missing S laying on the roof, and big board underneath all tell us something important: This is an old building, and the owner is cheap.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/86e18bc8f1fd2045780e99b0165a0ecc/6019934312930967-cb/s250x250_c1/e7ecd03c51fddaf530dc8d2fdc7b070a35e629b1.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ad44d7515e5f6bd3ac6a0fc5a7d140c5/6019934312930967-0e/s540x810/292be1351d5f137b9cfcfe88ee79a26db3b6ce87.jpg)
The scale of the full shack is much larger than the little AI version, so much that the Gift shop area feels around the same size as the whole thing. The AI version isnât believable as a house/shop combo because of how small it is, and the broken window!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fe7b9f9dfb071435b11418e80e5d375d/6019934312930967-45/s540x810/f95f54a316456ff0ba3ec34c4b4d9b404d97d2fb.webp)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5b7f58b59491c8ed368f2ebb7e283f5f/6019934312930967-d8/s540x810/41046bcf030783609808d47356e30377bc2feacd.jpg)
Thereâs a room big enough for two children to have separate beds and a large room with a window nook in the attic area of the mystery shack. We donât know where this bathroom is on the ground floor, but given the fact that thereâs an outhouse, we can assume this is meant for the family living at the Shack, not tourists.
The detail of the non-suspicious triangular windows is lost in the AI image, and since none of the posters even spell words, thereâs no good details gained from including them.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ae281b00024064fdeffcaf66983f5071/6019934312930967-3c/s500x750/ade1e94cf9c51abb7849914b855c5a018c470370.jpg)
This support on the porch roof doesnât connect back to the building, it connects to this tree trunk. And the supposed gas pumps donât make sense either because thereâs usually only one or two, and theyâd all be the same height.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/290cfe6df8b4a5cafeb2d4dcf9b32283/6019934312930967-92/s540x810/44d1689f64ff423c9cbe92c8f9f0f8abfee44525.jpg)
AI Dipper Pines just looks like that one kid from Stranger things.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1e1ebb629bef2ef4c875d50cf77be8b9/6019934312930967-5f/s540x810/241d2449e82584de5a2b37a99807d84ac05ee248.webp)
Another issue with AI art is that the texture on âDipperâsâ hair is super soft and fluffy like a catâs fur. You can see this actorâs curly hair leaves actual gaps and is more wiry and shiny⌠because itâs human hair. Also, the image from the show has this grainy texture on the skin and cloth, because the show is set in the 80s and cameras werenât high definition. AI art looks too smooth and buttery because it doesnât have the human understanding of aesthetics and texture.
He also looks like Frodo, but I donât know why the AI would pull from a non-80s themed film.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0aaea1179945f21c5c812cf6913bd0fc/6019934312930967-9e/s540x810/78198298cbf613e204ecd708cdac12e2902714bc.jpg)

That ainât Journal 3, thats Diary 9!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5c427232526c6180b7d443630e3325f3/6019934312930967-d0/s540x810/15f5f214ebdf812e24a66b3deed2e2da17b6cd84.webp)
The AI didnât even make it red! Made it massive and square, but the rest wasnât allowed.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/048ac767f853d5333e7beba35fceea66/6019934312930967-92/s540x810/493346c709079d0b21af439858d7b3c316d8050c.jpg)
âDipperâ isnât looking at anything because an AI drew this and had no plan for what heâs supposed to be staring at. Also, one of his nostrils is smaller and his right eyebrow is trying to escape AI purgatory.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6fca91c3e1dc4d250e5c3b4186471c33/6019934312930967-90/s540x810/aa49c352e79998358aa49504698ec74eae678c4e.jpg)
Donât let ro-bro cook, AI âMabelâ looks like Minecraft Brett Cooper.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a6b2cd8f8418e3f7fc7105f8d495194f/6019934312930967-7f/s540x810/b198385e92397941bac58e1efcca0d95e5498478.jpg)
Naw, because why is AI Mabelâs jawline stronger than her Twin Brotherâs?!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c31359a5211e7a8a8433aba278ba50ff/6019934312930967-34/s540x810/6a4afc76e23213ba3b90f8a2339249a119897814.jpg)
That is NOT Mabel bro, that is a thirty year old married woman on Pinterest!

With a sock puppet for a thumb.

They made Stan into a fusion of Walta White and Stan Lee, which makes sense. But his empty black eye socket and deep wrinkles give me a fight or flight response.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8126f0fd446e7f76d26d5ad5ccf0149b/6019934312930967-10/s500x750/f9546d8140daedd9b344b11e6497154946b8433e.webp)
This is what real eyes and wrinkles look like. Once again the text on Stanâs jacket makes no sense [and being AI has no design thought put into it], and the hair looks like cat fur. Waltaâs beard is a good example of what âStanâsâ mustache should look like texture wise.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/26b6953d7f63fd5ca52b00643f940948/6019934312930967-ef/s540x810/3d2ec251b3bf1b8ebaadb09e6c9476b4741d7b31.jpg)

Look, I know Mabel saved that 8 legged cow, but even sheâs wise enough to get stranger danger vibes from bro. AI waddles looks like one of those cursed 3-D Peppa Pig animations from the depths of YouTube.
So this next one, I didnât even know who it was supposed to be, but the video had timestamps in the descriptionâŚ

So Ford⌠isnât a ginger, first of all. Second of all, heâs literally wearing a baseball cap with a beanie over it. Because that would do anything for you.
Doesnât look like AI Stan. Doesnât even look like his painted self, much less the actual Ford. The AI latched onto the author thing and made him do a book signing or something. I promise you, if Ford got the chance to do a book signing he would not look this depressed. Maybe he can feel the disappointment through the screen, IDK.

AI Bill Cipher. Apparently. Bro looks like a Demonic Discord Mod who found out his Lemon Demon concert ticket is counterfeit the night of the event. Iâm not even going to waste time explaining this one.

The Harry Potter World having a Spanish Wizarding School HCS Part 1
I know many people don't like Harry Potter anymore because of the author and i get it, i don't like J.K. Rowling either. That's when i realized that didn't exist a wizarding school in Spain, and Beauxbatouns don't exactly represent an especific culture (it looks more like a fancy rich kids boarding school). So, since i don't give credit or money to J.K. Rowling in any form, i decided to created a prototype of how wizards in Spain could be.
I give permision to use this info for OC's or inspo but please, give it the credit it deserves and not attribute the idea to yourselves and if you see someone using it, please tell me.
Masterlist | Part 2
I present you.....
"SierraEncantada"
The image is a reference
Location:
Grazalema's Natural Park on AldalucĂa, Spain
History:
It isn't known how much older the school it is because it wasn't always on the south of Spain. Until the 1200 was on the north, nut then the Inquisition arrived and made a big fire and hunt to all the students (which is now called "The night of the Queima"). Thanks to the help of the King Alfonso X "the Wise", they could evacuate almost all of the students but the school and the evidence of magic were discovered.
With the school out of the map, the Inquisition tought they exterminated almost all the magic of Spain, which helped the King Alfonso to give funds clandestinely to make a new school on Andalucia, on the south (in that time this region of Spain was a part of the Castilla's reign, which was Alfonso's Kingdom).
Even with most of the previous knowledge was lost, they could remade the school house's and everyone tried to contribute to made new books about every subject. Alfonso's commitment was so big that he was burried in the new school and became a ghost after his dead.
The only thing known from the previous admisions of the school were that they permmited wizards and muggles to enter but after the replacement they don't let normal people enter.
Until these days, a lot of inofrmation is missing so it can be one of the most old school's of Europe.
School appearance:
Obviusly it is a medieval castle, which is placed between to mountains. It's surrounded bu forrests, waterfalls and mistic caves between many other natural settings. It has a lot of towers with silver colours, terracotta's walls, a lot of orange trees and enchanted fountains can be found all over the place.
Sometimes if you watch it from a long distance, the school looks like a yellow and silver waterfall between the mountains.
Thanks to the caves and the laws of natural life protecction given by the Spain Ministry of Magic, the school has many unique plants and creatures coexisting with the students.
Due to Andalucia's hot weather or just not very cold one, many of the school's classes can be done outside. Thats why the school has many open-air classrooms and terraces between floors. Exterior terraces are niveled and have gardens, resting areas and go all the way down thru the sides of the mountains. A lot of these places have exterior stairs to so you don't have to get inside to go up or down between floors (they all have railings and roofs to cover from wind gusts).
Because it is placed in between to mountains, the top part of the castle is habilitated to be the comedor for the students. In winter is covered and has big stoves, but in summer let's people see the night sky while dinning.
The Quidditch field is in a cave underground to preserve the temperature and avoid problems with being seen.
In matter of interior design, they have really open spaces and warm colours (thanks to musulman influence). Most of the decorations are made with wood, marble, colored glass, mosaics and tapestries. It has a lot of hidden passages to get out of the school, it was planned to be evacuating routes but after so many time, is now used by the students to get out.
Education on the school:
The school has classes during the morning in winter but in the summer they have classes in the afternoon and even nocturnal classes.
They have eight shool years, like Hogwarts but unlike the british school, they teach Animagus transformatiĂłn and dark arts (not just the defense against them). They get TIMO's at the age of 15.
Like many schools in Spain, they make excursions to emblematic places like the Ministry of Magic or Trasmoz (a Spanish village known for being habitated by witches placed in Zaragoza).
Thanks to the closeness of places in Spain, many students have the posibility to visit their homes on weekends but they have a special permit to do it.
Practically all magical children in Spain go to the school, the only exception are the ones whose parents don't want them to go but the Ministry is thinking about making the education obligatory.
The students get to the school thru the crouse that picks them up in different stations along the river or busses that peak them up in Grazalema under the address of a school trip.
The schools provides all the supplies to the students, which means making a trip to Trasmoz a week before the school starts. Some students already have materials, thanks to their parents being previous students but the muggle borns appreciate having the opportunity to be in equal posibilities with all the students.
Electronic or digital devices or any muggle technology is forbidden if it isn't registered when entering the school. The teachers have to permite it. Most of the times it's not permited but old phones without media signal or even analogic speakers are permited to "student's experimentation".
Spanish Wizards
Due to Spain's more increasing of dishabitation of the interior regions of the peninsule, many wizard villages are placed all over the territory freely but still there are a lot of wizards that like the chaotic style of muggles. That's why they know many things about muggle culture and devices, cause even if you live in the wizard's dictrict of Mdrid or Barcelona, you are connected to the muggle's ways.
Wands in Spain are made from typical trees such as eucalyptus, pine, castiĂąeiro, etc.
In the domestic elf's matter, it is a little less bad than in Uk. This is due to the connections with muggles, which makes elf's ownership a thing from the past (wizard families tends to have one muggle member, it's very mixed). The only ones who still have domestic elfs are families from the interior and old families. This makes the elfs an "extension" of the family or another member of it. Many families have been with the same line of elfs so many generations that are "part of the family" themselves. They still have the condition of servitude but it's rare to see wizard families using them in actual days.
All things related to houses will be in another post cause i don't want this to get too long.

so what do we think about campus 4???
my thoughts below >_<
i initially assumed that everything the devs were building on streams [ex. barbie, vioncii] was for RH3, but i just learned thisll be a whole new campus! with how new RH3 still is [time wise!!!], i was kinda shocked.
BUT⌠im actually not mad, and hereâs why:
i think RH3 was kind of messy from the get-go.
donât get me wrong, the hype was real, and being a part of the 500+ beta squad was great, but it all felt rushed. the locker courtyard was pointless outside of quests. âclassâ was completely optional. running dorms, esp on mobile was a trainwreck, and dorm decoration was broken beyond belief. it was unoptimized, chaotic, and honestly, boring at times, especially in the beginning, being able only to run 1 quest at a time. then, it all came to a grinding halt and updates beyond seasonal events ceased.
after grinding out 300+ levels [often by being bad and using the game as an idle timer for things like chores shhhh], the game itself started to feel more like Chores Simulator than magic school. people have nothing better to do than grind and haze new players.
i think returning to the old system [that is, a 1 map, day-night cycle schedule system] and starting anew will definitely help RH when it comes to general enjoyability. the player connections and ease-of-play from everyone being on the same page were what made the game what it was. and the minigames!!! i love rh2 potions. as in. still do. and i miss dressing up for the ball. anyway the progress and concepts the devs have shown look great, and i cant wait for RH4!!!
thats my 2 cents. whatre yalls thoughts on RH4?? is it a mistake or a massive improvement?

Day 3
Im mad at me how healing wounds is my priority again, a major focus for my attention, when it was healed just before my last relapse. What wouldve been my focus now, that I have acceptable skin?
Probably enduring how my skin is still breaking out, and being clean doesnt look clean or feel clean at all for me, how everything makes me cravy and destroyi and everything is destroyable and my perfectionism gets lit when there are no wounds, but just outbreaks.
.
Im going to sports courses, though, trying to give me a different body feel. I cant be a dainty cute girl, maybe ill look less dirty, if my body was more defined, even though its boxy and boyish.
.
I want to have a good and working skin care routine, nice products that work and a lush looking and smooth skin because of it. I want to know what my skin and body needs.
Skin care routine wise,
nutrition wise with antioxidants and shit, making my outbreaks less and making me more energetic,
exercise and body wise, what my body and mind and skin needs for getting its juices flowing, blood circulation and reducing stress and stuff,
media wise, what does it give me to share and write down, presenting myself officially, even though no one needs to read or react, with ranty-tumblr, aesthetic-tumblr, longing-tumblr..
.
If been looking up nutrition for people with athritis, how to reduce inflammation and stuff.. im very cravy right now, with everything that i want but dont do or am, i know, i just wonder what it takes from me to be able to do all that..
Eating the right stuff,
cooking with herbs that do stuff,
making things pretty,
knowing what to heat and what not.
How can i act different than i do.. i dont do stuff, that i want to, because im too scared to commit to one decision. in every way. but in this case it prevents me from putting shelves on the walls, purchasing real furniture, making places for things, like tupper for herbs and racks for dishes or flatware. even more difficult, putting color onto my walls, getting decoration of any kind, blenders for the windows.
.
At least Im doing my resolutions:
not destroying!
only 1 sweet snack per day (like 1 can of sugary drink, 1 piece of pie, 1 sugared coffee..)
at least 1 urban sports course per day
Other things with a little less priority:
meditating
inquiry and sitting a table
handle things on my own, instead of discussing it with my inner circle
I need to get some kind of clearity, of what I want and what is just a reaction to stress (like wanting to move cities, going to Japan or staying for a job), what do I want to do in the future (what would i like to study and/ or work later), what are my interests (maths, social problems, biologic matters, music, organizing and planning stuff, what is hobby-worthy and what would i wanna do for a job) and what and who do i wanna be, like someone completely different and try very new new things or should i pay more attention to what i think are my limits, to what is stressing me out?
"Who am I when I dont destroy myself" kinda thing.. Right now I really, really, wanna leave, the city or the country and get away, because I feel constricted. What if thats just me, with my own limitation from my addiction?
I miss the sentou and its meditative atmosphere. I miss how alone i was with my thoughts, feelings and time back there. I want that. I feel like I cant think around my people, like I cant find out what I really want.
when I came back from Japan I was so sure that I dont want to and I shouldnt stay in Berlin. I knew, I needed to change cities. and then.. I dont want to blame it on other pleople, but then she got so suicidal that I thought, whats worse, living here, giving what I can, or leaving and living with the guilt? I know and I was told that this was the wrong motive to stay, but I did and I got comfortable here.
The question is, is leaving just running away? or is leaving the healthy thing to do for me, with my way of being and with my circle being a bit.. co-dependent. ăŠăăăăŽďź

Ok here's the next entry in what I think I'm going to refer to as the "hero's Burden AU." I'm going to try and divide the idea into sections to help me organize my thoughts and help make things easier to digest. But two notes first before I begin: 1) this idea is free for anyone to use if they feel like it. While I like to think I'd be able to sit down and write this fully one day, my life is too chaotic right now to commit to it and I'd like to see what people think about it even if it's little ideas. 2) this is mostly for you cap, feel free to let me know if I'm spamming the inbox too much or like overhearing or something. I don't want to bother anyone becuase I'm rambling or posting where I shouldn't or something. I know you'll probably think it's fine but you know *shrugs* anxiety...
Okay on to the actual topic which is I want to start with the villains and what their motivations are as well as how they'll actually be antagonizing Paris.
To begin here's each members motivations as well as their miraculous match. First is Gabriel who lost Emile to a tragic accident and kind of disillusioned himself with reality in his grief. He's become obsessed with the idea that he can change anything for the better and he turns to the miraculous and the spell book (I'll expand on this further down) to do so. His miraculous is the fox. Part of this is becuase his experience as a designer makes him much more able to create illusions of how he wants reality to look like. This is kind of the other part of his choice in that he kind of looses himself in the falsehood of his vision. He can't accept the loss he's experienced becuase he's GOING TO fix things. Emile is never gone, just out of reach in his mind.
Nathalie shares a motivation with Gabriel but leans more on how focused she is on the discord it's caused in those she cares about. She misses Emile a lot but she's more worried about how far gone Gabriel is and how that's affecting Adrien in the progress. She considers them her family too and she'll to anything to give them back that stability and peace, hence the choice to weild the ladybug. Her fault is that I. Her pursuit is in bringing back the order that existed before rather than adapting to change.
Gorilla gets a lot of back story here. Essentially Gorilla was always known for protecting people. He used to be a decorated officer on the force with a wonderful daughter waiting for him at home. Unfortunately a criminal manages to pin a murder on him and not only gets the Gorilla sent to prison, but his only daughter gets put into the foster system. He spends years inside with only the thought of seeing his daughter again holding him together. Unfortunately even though he gets out a few years early do to good behavior (he became practically mute inside.) he finds out that he can't regain custody of his daughter as she's already been adopted by another family. Eventually he ends up working for the Argestes since they're the only ones willing to look over his record. When they eventually offer him the turtle with the promise that he can both get his daughter and protect everyone he cares about, he joins their cause. He has less fault with his miraculous and it's more about who she's choosing to punish/protect.
Next I'm thinking Ms. Medeleiev (wow that's a tough one to remember the spelling). She gets an expanded back story too in that she's a former renown scientist with a huge focus on the environment. She sees the damage done to the earth and she sees the very real doomsday clock that will happen if things aren't taken seriously. One day she used her research to challange a massive company responsible for a horrific amount of pollution but instead the company somehow managed to forge documents to completely shatter her reputation. Becoming a science teacher was the best she could do after that. The villain team see her as someone willing to do what must be done to "save the world" and so, while she stubbornly hates the fact that magic is somehow real and is desperate to break it down into a science she can understand, she joins them. Her miraculous is the black cat so that she can show the world what kind of destruction is waiting for them if the world doesn't wise up. Her fault is that she used chaos and destruction for fear when, in truth, death and chaos are the tools meant to pave the way for the new.
Now finally it's the Bee which is kind of where I ran out of steam. I've been trying to think of others that i would be willing to turn to the more darkside but still have some shred of morals. Instead I decided to go with someone who could probably follow a more traditional villain mindset and likely serve as a corrupting influence to the villain team since honestly the idea is that these are people who are trying to do good but in like the worst way possible. They kind of need that push to stop them from questioning themselves and keep them on their path. Someone to show that despite redemption and redeeming qualities being very important topics in this potential AU, that some people are honestly genuinely selfish and are likely driven more by fear than any real positive desire. That's why I went with Audrey for the Bee. She's someone that the villains think is easily manipulated but instead is slowly corrupting them. Audrey is driven by a deep fear of time itself. Aging, decay, and loss of legacy are what drive her. She wants a world where beauty is eternal and so is she. That's how her use of the bee is twisted. Freezing everything eternally with no chance for change or growth becuse there's fear that those changes won't be for the better.
Okay this is getting long but we're almost there. The last part is an explanation of how they go about their plans and how they can stay a threat despite having static miraculous. Remember the spell book? That's the key to their plan. The miraculous make them strong but the spell book is what let's them take action. Gabriel in his studying of the spell book has discovered that he can actually cast powerfull spells if he uses pages of the book itself as the power sources since its filled with leftover magic from past guardians. So essentially he figured out what he wants to do, rips a page of the book out and fills it with desired spell and so begins the plan. The heroes, in order to save the day, have to capture the page itself since it needs to be at the center of whatever its doing. Capturing the page and breaking the spell also reverts the world back to the way it was before it was cast. So over time the more pages they use, the less spells they can cast, and the more pages the heroes can collect, and thus the heroes start learning more and more from the information they gather. (also to make sure things aren't too easy for the heroes, the pages loose their magic after the spell so while the heroes learn more about magic and the miraculous from the pages they collect, they can't just turn around and start casting their own spells.)
Okay heres the final part. I want to end this segment with an example of what one of their plans/spells would do. As a spinoff of stormy weather, Ms. Medeleiev would use a spell to cast a super storm in the city as an example of the kind of damage global warming can have on the weather and that that if the world wants to prevent this disaster from happening then the heroes must turn over their miraculous.
That's it for the villains. Feel free to let me know what you think.
ââââ
YOOOOO DUDE THATS DOPE I LOVE THE AMOUNT OF CHARACTER YOU THREW INTO THEM THATS AWESOME
I can imagine like this haunting image of like, Gabriel miraging an illusion of Emilie just to talk to because heâs so lonely and disillusioned thatâs so cool dude

MiD Review
So yesterday, for Hallowen, I finished MiD the first time ever! Last time I played it my expectations were so high up I started crying 15 minutes into it and quit. But this time, with my expectations rammed deeply into the ground, it wasâŚ. not that bad.
Iâll start with everything I liked, and thats mini-games! I loved making and giving everyone pancakes! Loved herb mixing! Loved how you could find additional herbs and make truth serum! Loved giving it to everyone! Mini games that bring you additional content is excellent idea! And pumpking carving got me soo excited I actually based my irl pumpkin on their design! I also loved seeing my pumpkins in cut scenes, it felt like I personally decorated this town for Halloween.
I loved that there was so many female characters! Loved that little bit going thru the forest! I liked that the game had underground tunnels! I liked the old witchy puzzles that reminded me of Castle Malloy! I love that the theme was witches! Iâm personally very invested in information about the witch trials and I appreciated all info we got on it. I liked the hidden passage in the library! I loved Mei and Deirdre and Joe! The music was so good and spooky and set a great mood for Halloween.
I liked how personal the story got and how invested everyone was in solving it, plot-wise it was brilliant to have the answer to original mystery âwho set the fireâ answered at midpoint and for the goals of characters to shift into finding Mei and the will. I liked how Nancy went off at the judge at the end!
Now, for the disliked parts.. graphic was obviously a wreck, I could see soo many pixels, why were the windows at the museum showing it was dark outside even during the day? Even tho they were going for fall witchy mood, I mostly got it from music because the game was too bland look wise, it was like being in any other random game, even tho we had many locations they all looked so modern, decorated with minimalism alone, to the point where it felt like they only existed for few days and had no history or tradition in it. I miss old messy places with piles of junk on them.
Even tho we had many suspects this time, they were all completely bland, only Mei showed some personality and I love her so much for it; when her message said âSorry to break it to you, but Iâm ghosting youâ my mouth dropped, that is savage! Deirdre and Hardy boys were themselves but others were just 2-3 stereotypes put together and felt bland. They had stories but no personality.
I think this game went way too hard on Mei, in the beginning sheâs already an outcast, her face is burned, she looks unusual, sheâs unsociable and carrying weight of protecting otherâs crimes, and sheâs a kid at this point. Did we also need to have her drugged and unconscious underground, then broken down in a wave of panic and paranoia and death fear so sheâd desperately confess everything and have emotions forcefully dragged out of her? It was too much. No other character in ND was tortured that far before and my heart hurts for her. I donât like that we left her in that house with Teegan who obviously puts her last.
So drama with Ned is ridiculous at this point, it always feels like theyâre on a brink of a breakup lately and if they did break up and Nancy got with literally anyone else it would be the most exciting thing ever, I root for Deirdre, they flirted a lot this game! Especially with the truth serum involved, loved that bit! I thought Frank would also confess love to Nancy if given the serum but he sensed it was coming and refused, aww.
I never suspected Alicia even a little bit, because I saw her and immediately recognized her as a black woman, even though it was subtle, it was there, and I thought, surely weâre not, in our year of 2020, making black women the villains? Surely that would be tone deaf and tactless and messed up? And⌠I was wrong. Itâs exactly what the game did and it felt WRONG. Watching the end made my stomach turn, black woman causing damages to society in order to steal property and build her own fancy complex while cutting off a place from its history? It sounds a LOT like something some other people⌠did⌠to black people in general.
I suspected Teegan the entire time, I was only partly right. It wasnât even anything she did, just her character had an evil glint in her eyes on the phone pic.
Anyway, it was sorta fun in some places, messed up in others, very frustrating to move around, wish it wasnât virtual reality, wish conversations werenât so weird, I do admit it was hilarious to call people while standing in front of them, I had Mei tell me sheâs ghosting me while I was looking at her eyes directly lmao. I will be back to replay the minigames the next Halloween, and to hear the soundtrack again. So⌠4.5/10.

The truth about vampires
Letâs start off with some basics. Whatâs your name? Rachel How old are you? 35 Whatâs your hair and eye color? Green eyes, brown to teal hair. How tall are you? 5â˛6âł
Whatâs your relationship status? Married Alright, enough of that. Letâs move on to the random shit. Whatâs your favorite song? Mayonaise by the Smashing Pumpkins, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton and In Your Atmosphere by John Mayer. What does that song mean? What is the message behind it? They are all pretty different theme wise, but all three really evoke a feeling. Is it your favorite because you relate to it, or do you just like the beat? Theyâre all more guitar heavy than having a beat, the lyrics and overall feeling the songs provide are what really get m, though. Have any pets? If so, what are they and whatâs their names? I have a dog named Finn, and a cat named Mateo. Have you ever met your idol? If so, were they nice or were they kind of an ass? I donât have an idol. Whatâs your favorite method of gaming? (PC, Xbox, Playstation, etc) Either the Switch or my laptop. Xbox is fine, but I guess I prefer a handheld type device. If youâre in college, whatâs your major and why did you pick it? I am not in college. My major when I attended varied between visual communications, education and IT. I didnât choose nor graduate. Howâre you doing today? Meh, theres a lot going on around me with people I care about. I was talking to a friend earlier about how most people are stressed or unhapy this time of year, which is really not my experience. I love buying gifts for others, decorating and baking, so this is generally a good time for me. What color are your bedroom walls? Ugh, like a pastel yellow. I really dislike the color. I have painted some grey paint splotches on one wall to see which one I liked most, but Iâve never gotten around to actually painting. Describe your favorite shirt. I donât know that I have a favorite. I typically wear a shirt I got from John Mayerâs last tour the most- its got a cool fish and cat graphic on it. Use this space to tell someone off. Iâve no one to tell off. Whatâs your view on smart watches? Cool or a waste of money? I have one. I like it. I really like watches in general, though and I feel a little sad I donât wear the analog ones anymore, but Iâd miss the functionality of the smartwatch. What is one poster that you have hanging on your bedroom wall of? I donât have anything hanging on the walls in my room. We have slanted ceilings, so there isnât even enough space for a poster. My room was covered in band posters as a teenager, though. How many times have you moved in your life? I lived at home til 20, lived with my first roommate til 25, a townhouse with a friend and my now husband for a year, an apt with my now husband for 4 years and now our house for 5 years. If you moved, do you like where you are now better than where you were? Iâve stayed in pretty much the same area, but living in our house is definitely better than the one bedroom apartment we were in. Whatâs your favorite color and why? Grey. Darker earthy tones. Do you have a calendar? If so, whatâs the theme? Nope. Just use my watch/phone. Have any famous personâs autographs? I do on some concert tickets from when I was younger. Do you draw well? Depends on your perspective, to my non-artistic friends, they think Iâm amazing. The artistic friends, probably just roll their eyes lol. What type of cell phone do you have? iPhone X. Should you be doing anything else right now or are you just bored? I finally finished the wedding I had been editing and the only other project I have right now is the paint by number of our dog I got for my husband as a gift, but heâs here, so it has to wait. Finishing that wedding was a huge weight off my shoulders.
If youâre in school/college, whatâs your favorite subject and why? Not in school. Maybe now that Iâm done with the wedding Iâll start exploring some learning opportunities. Are you a cat or a dog person? Why? I wouldâve always said cat until I got a dog. There are a lot of things about dogs I was really not into, but I love my dog so much. Personality wise, Iâm more of a cat person, but in practice I like dogs. Tell me about the plot of your favorite book. I have several. One has a ghost that rings a bell around a mounted mooseâs head. Do you wear glasses or contacts? Glasses. What do you think about horror movies? I like them. Iâve seen a lot of old ones. Back in the day, my mom and I would go to Blockbuster and Iâd get a different horror movie every week. If you love them (I do), whatâs your favorite? Nightmare on Elm Stree is a classic for me. It Follows is probably the one that fucked me up the most. Got any cool Christmas presents picked out for family or friends yet? Iâve got all my gifts purchsed except for the hub. He sent me a ridiculous wish list that included a suit of armor and a castle and then decided he didnât want any gifts this year. Iâm running out of time to figure something out. Do you do Black Friday shopping or wait for Cyber Monday? Neither. Iâm definitely not going to go out on Black Friday and deal with all those people for junk I donât need. As for Cyber Monday, I donât really pay much attention to any of the deals and donât really buy more on that day than I would on any other. Have any mental illnesses? Not encompassing enough to get any kinda of diagnosis. Whatâs your favorite word and why? No idea. What is the most expensive thing you own, and what is it? My car? I mean, I donât outright own it yet. Singular item, my MacBook or iMac, I guess. Did you buy that item yourself? Yes, I bought the macbook and iMac after I left my job at Cassanoâs and needed a new laptop since my previous one was owned by the company. Where do you work and what is your position? *I am currently unemployed. How often do you cuss? A fair amount. Maybe just a little bit more than whomever Iâm talking to. What type of car do you drive, if any? I have a 2012 Volvo s60. Are you happy with it? If no, whatâs your dream car? I prefer to drive my car than my husbands, but Iâm like 50/50 on liking it. Right now, my dream vehicles are the new Land Rover Defender or an Audi Q8. Do you have a lot of social media accounts? Which ones? I have Instagram, Facebook LinkedIn and Tumblr. I very rarely post on any of them. I use snapchat a lot, though, if that counts. What is your favorite genre of music? My Spotify year end review said I listen to Pop, Rock, Indie, Folk and Emo the most. In that order. Does your family have holiday traditions? If so, what are they? Nope. My fmaily just barely cobbles themselves together for major holidays. If youâre in a relationship, are you happy with it? Sure. People are breaking up around us, and it really makes me appreciate the relationship my husband and I have, even if it doesnât always feel like its going as well as it is. How long have you been with your significant other? Just hit the 10 year mark. Do you like psychology? (Itâs my college major). Nah. Never really been something Iâm too interested in. What is something your state is popularly known for? College football I guess. Do you like to do craft projects? If so, whatâs the coolest thing you made? I do. I recently drew a bunch of Dungeons and Dragons monsters to use as ornaments on a tree in my dining room where my husband and his friends play Dungeons and Dragons on Sundays. Iâve made some painting as house warming gifts or nursery art for friends children that theyâve hung up and thats nice to see. Do you watch sports or do you think theyâre overrated? Nah. Not really a fan. Whatâs one occupation you think gets paid too much and doesnât deserve to? Meh, I donât know that I want to hate on any specific occupation. The extremely rich do bother me, however, with how much money they make, often at their employees detriment. Do you straigthen your hair? Not usually. I have more lately, since its getting long again. Iâm more likely to do the loose waves thing, though. Ever dyed your hair a color that isnât natural? (blue, pink, etc) Yes, it is currently teal. Howâs your relationship with your parents? Relationship with my mom is okay, none with my dad. Do you still live with them or do you have your own house? I live in my own home. Whatâs something you are currently saving money for to buy? Hmm, nothing. The couple of items I want at the moment, I asked for on my Christmas list. Do you smoke/vape? If so, what brand do you smoke/what device do you use? Nope, Iâve never smoked. Ever done drugs? Nope. Tell me one of your worst habits. Picking at my cuticles? Whatâs a weird quirk you have that no one else you know does? No idea, I kind of doubt that theres something I do that no one else ever does. If you game, what type of headset do you use? I donât ever need a headset. What type of computer do you own, and do you like it? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to have an Air and I loved it, but my husband talked me into getting the Pro instead and I regret it. Whatâs the thing that annoys you the most? When my husband asks google to make his cellphone ring at max volume without even trying to look for it. Today, it was in his pocket. What brand of TV do you have? Samsung. Are you excited for Christmas? (Itâs December 1st today when I made this) Kind of? I love how cozy my house feels with all the decorations. Tell me about your favorite vacation youâve taken. We went to New York for my birthday/anniversary/Halloween 2 years ago. Tell me something cool about yourself. I am not cool? Did/do you get good grades in school/college? Not in my middle school/high school years. Whatâs your ringtone on your phone? Vibrate. Whatâs your favorite store to shop in? The internet. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would buy and why? I have no idea. Iâd probably sit on the money for a long time and then once I finally broke the seal, buy a bunch of stuff. How long have you had a Bzoink account? Donât have one. Ever been to Field of Screams? If so, whatâs your favorite attraction? Nope. Do you own a Polaroid camera? I have an Instax camera. Do you have hardwood floor in your room or carpet? The two bedrooms upstairs have carpet, but the rest of the house is hardwood. Itâs a Saturday night, what are you typically doing? Relaxing at home, most likely. Doing a crossword puzzle, probably. Do you have a lot of friends or do you not have any at all? I have a couple. Whatâs your all time favorite movie and why? I donât know, really. I watch the Iron Man movies and Thor Ragnarok the most these days. How many blankets do you sleep with at night? A sheet and comforter. Whatâs the last TV show you watched? Did you enjoy it? The Mandalorian. I do enjoy it. Do you prefer cable TV or do you use Netflix? We have cable, but never really watch it. Everything we want to watch is only Netflix or Disney+. What is your dream job and why? I have no idea. Need to get to thinking on that. Do you think you would be a good therapist? I do. I think I can listen to people and help them come to their own answers pretty well. Whatâs your favorite brand of clothing? I donât know that I have a favorite. Anything that fits well and has a lot of sales lol.

Checking in with Grandpa
It's been a while since you visited the old man. You figure you've left him hanging long enough. He'd probably love to hear from you, what's been going on in his granddaughter's life. You head quietly through the halls of the lower floors, still and calm and differently decorated than the upper floors where you live. You stop in front of an old oak door with a brass knob and a plaque on its face, and slowly turn the handle. You peek your head in slowly, looking into Grandpa's study. It's always dim in here, the fug of cologne and gunpowder and cognac baked into the room's very soul. He stands there in the dim, facing the ornate marble fireplace, which -
FWOOMPH!
- ignites dramatically into a warmly crackling blaze as you settle your gaze on it. There he goes - The old man, "Hass" "The Flame" Harley, always with such a flare for the bombastic. Your Grandpa stands Stout and Resolute in front of the mantle, seeming to gaze long and hard into the flames. You take his dramatics as consent to enter, and you stand a few paces behind him, nervously tenting your hands. He's always been so tall, so imposing, and you've barely gained an inch since your session began. You're basically still the same dorky kid as ever, eternally youthful. You hesitate, waiting a reasonably long moment, then finally speak.
hi grandpa! sorry to bother you, i know you probably have a lot of work to do! but i wanted to come visit you in here and say hi! ...sorry i havent come down in a couple of weeks or uhm... months. i got all caught up in my work and in my head and kinda stayed cooped up in my lab up there below the greenhouse. huh? yes! before you ask, ive got three computers with me including the ones in my head and my glasses, and i do think the caliber of my current rifle is plenty sufficient! no i dont need to borrow the blunderbuss but thank you anyway! i will let you know when i need it okay? its overkill for anything but bosses!
You sigh heavily. He's always such a worrywart, hassling you over your preparedness and the bore of your firearms! You huff your trademark Harley Huff, then sigh and deflate a little. You know his hounding you is just how he shows that he cares, in his weird way.
i just wanted to let you know about some of the stuff thats been going on, though im sure youve seen hints of it here and there, mister wise and cunning hunter! first off, take a look at these babies!
You round the quiet old man to stand just past the fireplace on the far side, showing off the fluffy white fur and canine shape of your legs from the thighs down. You lift up one footpaw, showing him the glowing green footpads beneath, and wiggle your toes. The luminous glint of green reflects in your Grandpa's eyes, along with - is that interest, or pride, or just confusion? He's always been so hard to read. You'll opt for confused pride, shy of any context otherwise. You plop yourself into the dusty armchair beside the fire so you can wave your paws idly through the air for his approval, and continue your conversation face to face.
i know, i know, you never quite got all this furry stuff, but think of it this way! i am a little bit better of a huntress now, i can run around all quiet-like like bec! plus it gives my tail a reason to - huh? boots? yeah i guess i could use a custom fit pair, for like lohac or lofaf when its extra cold... if you insist we can find a cobbler, sure! cool digitigrade boots do look cool on cartoon furries... hee... uhmm lets see, what else is on the agenda?
You stroke your chin thoughtfully, then smile sheepishly at him.
so... do you remember rose? yeah, yeah the one ive always talked about! uh-huh, the one from movie nights. the squiddle one! my best friend. the one i... always had a crush on, yeah. well, as you know weve been looking around for everyone from our timeline and...
Your smile brightens, your eyes sparkle. Grandpa waits patiently, letting you talk, green eyes flickering in the firelight.
we found her, grandpa! like the right her! skaia lit up when we came back with her, and cetus showed herself for the first time in ages. its really her, grandpa!! its so good to...so good to have her back in my life. i... you know how much i missed rose. and the best news of all? she... she likes me back. she likes me back!! we are... we are dating now! shes... my girlfriend, a-after all this time. hee, i know, i know, lots of girlfriends. but this is important to me! rose was my first crush!! or uh, second, if you dont count margaret hamilton, haha... gosh i love her. i love rose! aaaah!
Grandpa seems chuffed for you, a twinkle of mirth in those eyes, past his thick glasses. The one good thing about having read all about him on the internet - you never felt uncomfortable coming out to a man you knew was openly bi decades before it was widely accepted. You practically glow in excitement, just thinking about Rose.
oh, we also found aradia! or she found us, anyways. she is one of the trolls! this one is kinda froglike, which is cool! i did not expect her to ever show up, i thought she had run off to play psychopomp! but here she is just hanging around and i guess she can help our search! she has cool psionic powers, and is the maid of time! she kinda showed up all spooky and glowing in the dark the other night! shes slimy like a frog sometimes, but shes cool, honest. youd like her, she loves adventure. maybe ill bring her by sometime?
Grandpa is quiet here, no real feedback, but seems pleased for you. You've never really talked to him about her much, so it tracks. You're sure he'll be interested in finding out more later, though. He always lends a patient ear when you talk about your friends, and he really would like Aradia. Two peas with ghastly interests in a slightly ghoulish pod.
sooo harleytech is doing pretty well! my jadebots run most of the daily stuff for me and i do all the designing, and the special interactions! in a while im gonna do a bunch of installations for some trollian freedom fighters, rebels! thats so cool right?
He seems impressed by this one - a streak of rebellion has always been pivotal to his character as the world's most eccentric philanthropist and Renaissance Man after all, especially if it's against who you think it might be against.
lets see, what else... the garden ship has been doing really well, i just fixed up the alternian section a little! if aradia wants a slice of home, she can put it there! heheh... im still trying to think of a name for that huge maple though... the yiffdrasil is kind of dumb, and its not THAT big. do i name it after another scientist like us, grandpa? what do you think?
The old man doesn't answer, as if lost in pensive thought. It's tough to puzzle out a name for something like an ancient, time-wizened old tree, after all, especially one accelerated through time to its current state. Eventually a name occurs to you, and you clap your hands together.
hmm, maybe instead of a scientist, van winkle or something? yeah, good call! ooh, rip van maple? heheh... yeah, ill try that out for a bit! good idea, grandpa...
You sigh, tone softening, and you rise up to stand next to Grandpa. He's so tall, towering over you in presence and height alike, but you find yourself staring at his feet, the polished maple wood beneath.
youre so smart, grandpa. you always know just what to say.
You're quiet for a moment, just letting him loom over you. With a lump in your throat, you begin again.
hey grandpa? thank you for always... always being so supportive, even if we butt heads sometimes over stuff like hunting or mummies or dumb stuff like that. i know you only scold me and keep an eye on me because you wanna see me grow up to be the best me i can be! right...? always making sure i had the best of everything I needed to... to be who i wanted and needed to be. im so glad youre my grandpa, thank you for... for always being around for me.
i hope im... i hope... a-am i doing okay? am... do i make you proud, grandpa?
With a quaking lip, you look upwards at the old man, towards his serviceable pith helmet and dense, curly moustache. He doesn't say anything, his silence distinguished. Tranquil. You imagine a heavy, distantly familiar palm resting on your head, comforting and warm, but it doesn't come. Your own small hand resting between your ears while teardrops plink off the floor will have to suffice. You rest your head against your grandfather's side for comfort, sniffling softly until the tears subside.
its okay grandpa, you dont have to say anything about it. s-sorry, i just got carried away, th-thinking about what a good grandpa you are... youre right, stiff upper lip, h-haha...
You wipe your tears on your face and offer him a brave smile, seeing a twinkle of pride once more in his aged eyes. You smooth out his tear ruffled coat for him, and reach up to adjust his pith helmet. It's only polite. You hug him gently, then step towards the door. You attempt to pepper a layer of cheer into your voice.
ill let you get back to work, grandpa. thank you for talking with me today, it... it meant a lot that you took time out of your day to do that! ill come see you more often okay? i know sunday is fathers day, a-and grandpas definitely count for that! we can... we can do something special!! maybe ill show you my shooting skills!
dont work too hard and have a good night! a-and ill see you sunday if not earlier, okay!! i love you grandpa!!! byyyye!
You step hurriedly out of the Study and click the door closed behind you, standing in front of it and trying to steady your breathing. Failing that, you find yourself sliding down the front of the door to curl up and hug your legs in front of it, shoulders bobbing as you bury your face in your knees, already deeply missing the old gentleman you just finished visiting.
Grandpa was a lot easier to talk to when he was alive.

high school!mark
request:Â highschool!mark if u love me plspls
 word count: 5.5k
a/n: lucky that I love u anon hehehehe !!!!! also wOW I didnt mean to make this so god damn long itS REALLY JUST THESE GOD DAMN HIGH SCHOOL AUS IM WEAK FOR THEM OKAY. look at this cutie hOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO RESIST
mark, renjun, jeno, donghyuck, jaemin, chenle, jisung
warnings: the usual intermittent cussing and probably an inappropriate joke or two
this au is my Ultimate Weakness it makes me soft as hell alright
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ.
LETS DIVE IN
okay so your mom has a job that forces your family to move aroundâŚ.. A LOT
and while youâve gotten used to it for the most part it still sucks having to leave people behind and make completely new friends once every couple of years
this time youâre moving to a new school for your SENIOR YEAR and youâre livid
bc like ??? itâs senior year and you have exactly zero (0) friends since youâre new,,, yet again
you Threw A Fit when you found out but your mom was like shut up you ingrate soon youâll be in college and wonât even have to worry about it
so you, an ingrate, shut up :/
you move in a month before school starts and the house is nice and your room is cute so thatâs a plus !!!!!
you hang up some pictures and organize all your cute little trinkets youâve collected over the years aw
youâve even got a lil succulent garden growing on your windowsill
ITS CUTE AS HELL OKAY
alright so youâre gonna go explore around town because you , donât know where anything is and you wanna find some good spots to hang
you take the bus into the middle of town because who tf is tryna drive themselves amirite ladies
support ur local bus driver
anywhom this isnât a HUGE town but itâs one of those cute towns where you can pretty much walk anywhere you need to go
(god i wish that were me)
so you spend all day just, walkin
you find a library and pick up some books âŚâŚ.
both for decoration and reading okay
and you find a couple of restaurants and write them down to try later along with some coffee shops and whatnot
eventually youâre tired and prolly a lil sweaty bc itâs summer and youâre outside and ugh
so you find a nice big park and a tree and sit down at the base of it to read and mindlessly sketch things in the margins of your book
whEN OUT OF NOWHERE
someone shouts
âHEY WATCH OUTâ
and you look up just in time to dodge a sOCCER BALL HURTLING TOWARDS YOUR FACE
it bounces off the tree and rolls a couple feet away
âuhhhh holy shitâ - you
you just kind of sit there astonished for 5 seconds before you get up to get the ball and look around for who saved your LIFE
and thereâs boy jogging toward you looking extremely embarrassed
you meet him halfway to hand him the ball and heâs like
âoh mY GOD iâm so sorry i told them to settle down but they never listen to me and jisung just ??? doesnât know how to not take everything seriously and he lost and got pissed and kicked it and we didnât even kNOW you were over here and also iâm so sorryâ
you smile and tell him itâs fine and hand him the ball
you go to get back to your tree and heâs like hey uh you there uh wait up
god heâs awkward
and you turn around to face him with an expectant look
âso um, whatâs your name? i havenât seen you around here before and like in case i ever gotta make this up to you you know ??â
cute
you tell him your name and stick out your hand to shake and he grabs it very hesitantly and tells you his name is mark
he has , very warm hands and theyâre only slightly bigger than yours but thatâs still cUTE
MARK HAS BABY HANDS I DARE U TO SAY HE DOESNT
he says he hopes you enjoy your book and heâll make sure the boys donât disturb you anymore than they already have
you wave as he goes and he gives you a smile over his shoulder and his cheeks are tinged pink and wOw this boy is a cutie patootie
you go back to your reading but now instead of doodling youâre just writing his name or drawing his big doe eyes or his smooth hands
(((((letâs pretend weâre all good at drawing okay god knows i canât do much more than a stick figure)))))
the boys leave after an hour or two and you leave pretty soon after then because the sun is setting and you gotta be home for dinner
basically your mom wants to make sure you arenât kidnapped and/or lost in a new town
which, to be fair, is not that unlikely
you have your headphones in and youâre leaned against the bus window half asleep as you go
bitch wake up youRE GONNA MISS YOUR STOP
itâs the same bus driver who saw you get on and honestly there arenât a lot of people on the bus so he makes sure you get off
âhey you, girl back there, hEY! this is your stop girlyâ
you thank him profusely and tip him because uhhhh u gotta get home and like Not Lost
you skip home with your bag of books and miscellaneous items you found at the thrift store!!!
you bought a little figurine of a dragon and sheâs beautiful her name is saraphina because why not
thatâs completely irrelevant iâm so sorry
i have ADHD
anywhom
you walk in and youâre all like hey momma !!! how goes it !!:3
and your mom is Susâ˘ď¸ because why are you in such a good mood
and youâre like !!! cause i had a good day okay love u bye iâm going to my rOOM
donât let her question anymore or else sheâll dig out that you met a Cute Boy
you go to your room and get out all your purchases and organize them while you still have the motivation to do so
and yeah
you use one of the blank notes to start like a lil drawing diary of sorts ???? like just to draw stuff in whenever youâre inspired or you see something pretty
and you definitely saw smth pretty today ;))))))))
hint: ITS MARK
you try to draw him from memory but it doesnât look quite right and like :(((((( how sad is that what if you donât even see him again
the rest of the month passes pretty quickly in the same fashion
by now youâve befriended the bus driver and he tells you all the cool secret nooks and crannies of town for you to go find
heâs also your bff pretty much he always tells you about his daughter and all the cute things she does and you just talk about your life in general and he gives you advice
congrats youâve unlocked Wise Uncle
he gives you directions to this teeny TINY flower shop where you befriend the old lady who works there by bringing a muffin everytime you go by
she trades you for a seasonal flower and makes a big deal out of tucking it behind your ear herself
basically you find all the cute old people in town and make them your friend because.
THATS CUTE
ADDED BONUS OF LIKE 17 PARENT FIGURES TO GIVE YOU ADVICE
this is accidentally straying into art hoe territory i hope yâall are okay w/ that
school is starting really soon and youâre nervous but also used to this so it doesnât affect you as bad as normally
also you did meet some people so you arenât going in with no friends but like, pretty close to no friends
on the first day of school you ride the bus and you see ???? mark ????? on your bus ????????
so you get on and do your daily greeting of the bus driver
his daughter lost her first tooth AW
you fake cry and he says âmoodâ and you lose it because youâre pushing internet culture onto this unsuspecting middle aged man skdkdkkd
you pat him on the shoulder as you walk back to find a seat but there are none because for some reason the bus is busy this early in the morning ????
you wouldnât know lmao summer sleep schedule had you up at 10 at the earliest
so you go to stand and hold onto one of the poles in the center
(nearby our boy mark LEE)
mark looks up from his phone
these god damn millennials always on that damn phone
and he sees you and heâs like wHOA whatâs up uhhh Soccer Ball Girl
and nice you remembered his name bUT HE DIDNT REMEMBER YOURS
but then heâs like nahhhh just kidding i remember ur name hey y/n !!!
you talk otw to school and find out youâre both seniors at the same school and how youâre excited for sports games and like, GRADUATING
mark keeps trying to offer you his seat but you refuse and he pouts everytime you say no :((((
good god just take the seat look at the sad baby boy :((((((((((((
there is an, occurrence
at one point the bus goes over a bump and you stumble a little and mark reaches up to catch you before you literally fall on him
his hands fly out and grab you by the hips to steady you since heâs sitting and youâre standing and he canât exactly reach your shoulders sO YEA
or at least thatâs his explanation in his head huehuehuehe
his hands linger for MAYBE 10 seconds before he whips them back into his pockets and blushes while you thank him
you: are also blushing
the bus driver: completely did that on purpose
when you get off the bus your Second Dad tells you good luck and pats you on the head and mark is like ???? do you know him
and youâre like yeah thatâs my man maurice weâre buds
and heâs like ???? iâve rode that bus all my life to school and iâm not buds with him wtf :/
âsrry youâre not as lovable as me!! jealousy is a disease <3â
and he laughs his dorky laugh
you highkey are smiling so big because this boy is so cute and heâs walking close enough that your shoulders brush every once in a while and he has a silly laugh and AW
as you walk into the school marks group of Boys starts waving him over excitedly and he turns in their direction but then stops when he sees you arenât following
âhey whatcha doin???â
âwell uhhh those are Your Boys you know and iâm, i donât, really, uh they donât know meâ
âaw cmon theyâll love you!!! look ill just introduce you and if theyâre terrible and annoying you can leaveâ
â........ i gue-â
but heâs already grabbed your hand and is pulling you over to them
âsup fellas this is y/n and she just moved here this year so donât be too overwhelming.â
the smaller one with the highish voice chimes in
âaww but overwhelming is my only settingâ
âthen just donât be yourself, chenleâ
âheYYY itâs that girl i almost killed in the park !!! so sorry about that by the wayâ
he introduces them to you one by one and they all shake your hand
jisung is the one with the big ass yaoi hands and also the one who almost ended your young life
jaemin is the one with pretty smile
jeno is the one with the squishy eyes
renjun is the Art Hoe of the group you can just tell
heâs wearing some got damn overalls you gotta befriend him immediately
donghyuck is the one with beautiful skin and a v high voice youâre highkey like hey but can you dROP THE SKINCARE ROUTINE and heâs like âi just wash my face every day xoxo :*â
you quickly learn who is a piece of shit and who isnât
you figure out who has classes with you and then set off for the day !!
mark has gym and economics with you but those are after lunch :(((
he squeezes your shoulder before he leaves and says good luck though so youâll survive
you have art with renjun first and this boy is your bestie already
heâs such a sarcastic shit and he too likes drawing random things and vandalizing school textbooks with artistically correct memes
he also has the AUDACITY
âso, you and mark already ;););)(;);)))â
âi uh donât know what you mean by thatâ
âyou SO do!!!!! you guys walked into school together everyone probably already thinks youâre a thingâ
âoh shit really??? ah i feel so badâ
âis that a bad thing???â
âi mean yeah iâm not tryna Tarnish markâs reputationâ
âthat is some self hatred bs he would be lucky to have you !!!!â
ârenjun you donât even know me that well yetâ
âi know enOUGHâ
you just uhh change the subject which renjun def notices but like
who cares
renjun apparently also goes to the same flower shop as you !!!
you find out because you see him drawing the front of it and youâre like heY iâve been there my girl edna works there !!!!! she insist i call her grandma tho
and heâs all oh sHIT thatâs my girl too !!!!!!
long story short edna is now your shared grandmother
now THAT is some uwu shit
you go about your day and itâs lunchtime and yOU uh donât know where to sit :(
you see a girl that you met who works at the little coffee shop you like so you set off in her direction and youâre almost there when jeno and jaemin walk up and sling an arm around your shoulder from either side
âhEY BUDDYâ -jeno
âSUP SQUIRTâ -jaemin
and they start steering you in another direction towards their own table
âgod of all nicknames you had to give me sQUIRTâ
âyes itâs because youâre cute and small like squirtleâ
âthatâs a god damn reach if iâve ever seen one but okayâ
you get there and they practically TOSS you into the seat next to mark
he winces and gives you and apologetic pat on the back before starting the conversation
âalright so who actually did the summer readingâ
as the table bursts into Absolute Ruckus you just kind of sit back and watch
mark notices you being quiet and while renjun and chenle are arm wrestling he leans over to quietly be like
âhey you doin okay over there? are they too muchâ
âoh not at all iâm just takin it in lmaoâ
âyeah thatâs understandable. theyâre easily the most entertaining group of people youâll ever meet but also iâve wanted to strangle every single one of them at least onceâ
âwhat are you 30??? you talk about them like youâre their momâ
âi mean someoneâs gotta do itâ
you and mark talk all throughout lunch and head to gym together since thatâs next
exercising right after eating ??? sounds like a GREAT plan thanks so much public school system !!!!
you go to pull out your bag of gym clothes but ??? all youâve got is shorts ?????
S H I T
you start whining because youâre like aWW iâm gonna get in trouble :(((((
and heâs like here i have like 12 shirts in here because i always bring too many and then leave some when i got soccer practice i gotchu
(he gives you the clean shirt that hasnât been sitting in his locker <3333 what a guy)
you thank him proFUSELY and then go to the girls locker room to change
the shirt is too big and you donât wanna look like a Bag so you tie a lil knot in it in the front
you donât look like a thot tho you just look Cute As Fuck
some girl in the locker room lets you borrow a hair tie and off we go !!!
itâs the first day so everyone literally just stretches and sits around talking
youâve hashtag LOST mark and you donât have any friends yet so youâre just chillin talking to the girl who gave you a hair tie because she seems nice and you got nothin better to do
youâre explaining to her how to take care of a succulent /properly/ when mark catches a basketball that was headed right for you yelling a watch it !!!! over his shoulder
he turns to you and giggles a little, nudging your foot with his
âyouâre just a danger magnet arenât youâ
âi mean danger is my middle name soâ
âuGH get your ass over here away from all those freshman hoodlums who think they can playâ
you wave bye to your friend because thereâs literal fear in her eyes at the sight of mark ??
you ask her whatâs wrong later and sheâs like oh itâs not him i just have a crippling fear of boys
(thatâs a mood)
you and mark pass a volleyball back and forth and fuck around pretty much all period
this is actually the one (1) sport he isnât good at thank GOD you were worried he had no flaws
at the end of the class you ask him if he wants his shirt back and he says, and i quote,
ânah you and your thot knot can keep it, looks cuter on you anywaysâ
you smack his arm for calling you a thot but then thank him anyways for the shirt and for calling you cute :))))))))
econ passes the same way except normal clothing and no sports
although mark does throw a wadded up piece of paper on you that says u want 2 hang w the boys n me after school ? if yes then breathe if no do a backflip
this headass boy
you throw it back so it bounces off his forehead and then nod to confirm you will
you donât have any of the boys in your last class and you donât where to meet up so you just kind of loiter by your locker since jenoâs is pretty close to yours and maybe theyâll meet here ????
luckily jisung spots you and is like hey what r u doin here arenât u hanging with us after school??? cmon
you follow him out to the parking lot where theyâre all gathered around jeno and jaemins vehicles because apparently theyâre the only ones with actual cars
rip
they start waving too excitedly when they see you and mark smiles all big
wooOOO baby boy already has a crush on you :3
theyâve apparently already decided to go to chenles house because apparently heâs fuckin loaded
you donât believe that for a sECOND because heâs wearing crocs and an old ass polo shirt but
weâll see
you mark and renjun ride with jaemin while the Babies ride with jeno since he is able to ignore them being crackheads in the backseat and drive his vehicle without crashing
apparently theyâve cause multiple vehicular accidents ??? possibly the reason renjun doesnât have a car ???????
who knows
yâall have a blast in jaemins car tho playing tokyo drift from the third fast and furious movie if u havenât heard that shit plEASE GO LISTEN WHAT A SONG HEHEHHEHHEHE
you pull into this BIG ASS house and youâre like no fucking way dude
and everyone else in the car simultaneously says
âi know right ???â
yâall pull in and go inside and itâs real nice holy SHIT
chenle comes in cackling followed closely be jisung and more sedately by jeno who looks ready to fckin die
you pat him on the shoulder and go you did well, soldier
he salutes solemnly before breaking out into the smile
yâall know the one
you UWU right there on the spot but hold yourself back from poking his cheek and cooing
chenle then SCREECHES and yells
âWHO IS TRYNA PLAY JUST DANCEâ
and everyone crowds into his living room
somehow the couch is big enough to fit all of you comfortably thatâs fckin impressive
you play just dance for 3 whole ass hours and now youâre Tired and Ready To Go Home
thereâs a bus stop nearby and you insist upon walking since jaemin already have you a ride here and you didnât even have gas money to give him :(((
mark goes to since you have to catch the same bus
you hum as you skip around the sidewalk and he walks behind you smiling fondly while you twirl around
he recognizes the song and whistles along and wow !!!!
Harmonyâ˘ď¸
when you get to the stop youâre like 5 mins early
so to entertain yourselves you play rock paper scissors and each time the winner gets to flick the loser on the forehead
mark is a sweet boy so he flicks softly but you go all out
wouldnât be surprised if he had a bruise tmrw girly u need to chill
you sit on the bus together when it arrives since thereâs actually room now and he slumps down low until his head is pretty much rested on your shoulder
(our man maurice sees and is like GET IT GIRL but only so you notice and you make threatening hand motions at him)
youâre not sure if heâs asleep so you stay extra still just in case
and no one needs to know you rested your cheek on top of his head
but when it gets to your stop youâre like mark? mark lee??? mork ???? wake up ??? and you nudge him a little with your shoulder and he sits up and rubs his eyes aW
he slow blinks at you and goes
âhm?â
and youâre like i uh gotta go now
and heâs like :/// okay iâll see you tomorrow and stands up and gives you a half hug before you go
maurice is DYING in the front youâre going to kill him
you walk home with a smile on your face and again your mom is suspicious of your good mood but youâre like aw itâs nothin just had a good day at school made lots of friends !!!!!!
as summer turns into fall you make more friends but you mostly hang out with the boys because theyâre funny and nice to you and also Mark is there and we love our boy
you guys all attend football games together and go absolutely ALL OUT for whatever the theme is
for example: the theme was halloween and you all dressed as god damn SMURFS
it was legendary there was not one bit of you all that wasnât covered in blue paint
jisung almost fought some girl who thought he was from the movie Avatar until everyone was like jisung cHILL OUT ITS NOT HER FAULT YOURE VERY TALL AND COMPLETELY BLUE
and well
canât argue with that
it gets chillier though so you all bring blankets and cuddle most of the games
all of the boys suspiciously arenât cold at first until you and mark share a blanket
theyâre so obvious GOD
with each time yâall share you get more relaxed around each other until eventually mark has one arm slung around you and your legs are hooked over one of his thighs while yâall Snuggle
renjun waggles his eyebrows at you every five minutes and you discreetly give him the finger every time
little ASSHOLE
college applications are due like. right now
you all apply to a nice university close by as a backup/safe place and then apply to more brazy places just to see if you can get in
everyoneâs been real stressed lately so youâre like !!!!! hey imma throw a friendsgiving party !!! yeehaw !!!!!!!!!
and you invite all of them over
âeveryone bring smth and iâll bake a ham or smth,,, i swear to GOD if all of you show up with store-bought pumpkin pie. i will kill you and then myselfâ
âwhatâs with you and pumpkin pie?â
âjUST. donâtâ
((((srry iâm projecting my hatred of pumpkin pie onto u reader heheehehheh))))
everyone comes over and itâs really chilly so you have a fire in the fireplace and you have a couple of your gal pals over too
your mom is nice enough to leave yâall alone for the night and sheâs not hurt since itâs not real thanksgiving
we stan moms
you bring out the ham and someone has brought green beans and mark ,,,, tHAT ANGEL he brought cornbread stuffing do yâall know what iâm talking abt

anyways no one took it seriously until it got to mark
âiâm grateful y/n moved here :))))))â
everyone goes KSKDDIDI and you blush and youâre like okay ily mark JSKKD
everyone EATS A LOT and then you go sit in a pile in the living room
you go to make hot chocolate for everyone and when you come back itâs , interesting how thereâs only room for you next to mark . hm
you pass out the hot chocolate and everyone reaches Maximum Sleepytime
at this point youâre too tired to give a fuck and you just flop onto the couch next to mark and curl up into his side
he puts his arm around you to pull you close and this mf presses a tiny barely there kiss to your temple
you look up and like talk with your eyes
did u just

and then you just settle back down
itâs too crowded in here for any Moves to be Made
bUT YALL BEST BELIEVE WHEN ALL THESE YOUNGINS GET OUT UR HOUSE
youâve got the karate kid on bc ??? who doesnât love the karate kid and all of your cutie friends are asleep in various places
but once it gets super late you start waking people up and going hey i love you but your mom called mine like 8 times you gotta gO
you make sure everyone is awake fully if theyâre driving and to text you when they got home safe
at long last
youâre alone

you start looking around for him and find him in your room ???
âyou snoopin thru my things ??!?!??â
he jumps and is like uHH but youâre like nah youâre fine idc
so he continues and he was really just lookin at what kind of books you have and the little drawings and paintings and knick knacks everywhere
you just sit on your bed and observe him
letâs be real heâs nice to look at and youâd be perfectly fine doing this for uhhh the rest of your life
he pulls a book off your shelf and starts flipping through it until he pauses at a page
and his face blooms into this big smile and he looks hella giddy
and youâre like uhh hey whatcha lookin at there bud
and he just keep smiling and itâs a little smug now wtf
âwhen were you reading this?â
âoh uh i donât know i got it this summer at that cute little bookshopâ
âwas it, by chance, the day we met?â
âi mean maybe??? why ????â
and he shows you the page and itâs tHAT oNE WHERE YOU WERE DOODLING BITS OF HIM AND WRITING HIS NAME ALL OVER IT

you immediately turn tomato red and snatch the book in to hold it tightly to your chest
âuhhh i do that with uhhhh eVerYONE I MEETâ
âaw i thought i was special:((((â
heâs creeping closer to you this whole time until heâs INCHES AWAY
he gently pulls the book out of your hands and places it aside before grabbing your wrists and uncrossing your arms
âpersonally, i think itâs really cuteâ
you blush even more this man knows what heâs doing
you mumble a thanks with your eyes trained on his fuzzy socks what a dork
he releases one of your wrists to push your chin up so he can look you in the eyes
âdo you really do that with everyone you meet?â
â,,,,,,, no itâs just youâ
âalright coolâ
and then he wraps his arms around your waist to pull you close til youâre pressed together chest to chest AW
he nudges his nose against yours and you close your eyes because your god daMN HEART IS POUNDING AND YOU CANT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THOSE BIG PUPPY EYES
he presses the sweetest and gentlest of kisses to each cheek and then to the top of your nose
he presses one last lingering kiss on your forehead before he tilts his chin down to press your lips together
itâs so soft and innocent wow iâm going to SHED TEARS WRITING THIS
and he pulls away and you press your face into his neck in embarrassment
he chuckles a lil and rubs your back, leaning his cheek against your head
âhey, you down thereâ
you say âyeah?â but your voice is muffled by his neck and itâs more like eh ???
âmy girlfriend y/n will you be ???â
what the fuck
you pull your head back so you can look at his face which is turning steadily redder
âuh whatâ
âshIT uh i meant will you uh bemygirlfriendâ
your confused expression turns into a shit eating grin and youâre like
âwhat was that :)))) i didnât hear you :)))))â
he groans and rests his forehead on your shoulder and pitifully whines out
âplease be my girlfriend :(((((â
you pick his face up and hold it between your palms and he pouts playfully
âwell how could i say no to that faceâ
and you smooch him right on those lil pouted lips
âyes iâll be your girlfriendâ
he smiles real big and smooshes you against him aw
wow so now youâre mark leeâs gf
LUCKY BITCH
lowkey you get a few threats but as soon as mark catches wind of that he stands on the statue in front of the school and announces that if anyone has a problem with you theyâve got a problem with him !!!!
and he looks like: áŚ(ò_ĂłË)á¤
you drag him down while apologizing to everyone in the general vicinity
mark is. veRY CLINGY NOW
i mean no complaints here itâs just
wow
youâll be standing at your locker when BAM mark is wrapped around you from behind and you get a hey baby howâs ur day right in your ear

but he always whines after and is like
:((((( but you look so cute in my shirt i wanna squish you
whenever mark comes over you force him to let you draw him at least once
each time it gets easier since youâve started to memorize the details of his face and the knuckles of his hands and the shape of his shoulders
a lot of times he just comes over to watch movies and talk
heâs not an eloquent guy
(âyou all look like pretty grass :)))â - mark lee)
but he gets what he needs to say out and he enjoys listening to you talk about whateverâs on your mind
youâve started a glow in the dark star sticker collection to put on your ceiling and each time he comes over you put a constellation up there
so youâll lay in bed and turn off the lights and just stare at the ceiling and try to name them all
soon youâll just get sleepy though and press your face into his chest
he uwuâs every time :((((
after heâs done being astonished by his Babyâ˘ď¸ heâll wrap his arms around you and stroke a hand up and down your spine wow
Real Relaxation Hours
your mom will come home and find yâall asleep and then SHE uwuâs and itâs just one big cute MESS
he loves to kiss you right as heâs leaving like heâll lay one on you then RUN to the bus stop
p.s. maurice is on yâall every day saying he called it AY
his other favorite kisses are when he catches you off guard and just turns you around and kisses you and youâre like
Iâm Confused But I Like This
lots of sweet pecks throughout the day and then longer slower stuff when youâre home and alone and relaxing
leaves hickeys on your neck literally just to be annoying
itâs oKAY THO DONT TELL HIM YOU LIKE IT

Thoughts on the Anthem demo:
Since I had to take a day off anyway I decided to try out Anthem. Its a 3rd person adventure shooter by Bioware. I had gotten excited about it last year because it looks a lot like both The Division (game play wise) and Destiny (world design wise), both of which I loved. I spent the day playing the demo with my brother Nick and our friend Gabe (who I also played The Division and Monster Hunter World with). They both seemed to like it quite a bit, but I had very mixed feelings...
Good: Anthem takes place in what appears to be a very large open world. Its interesting looking, with lots of space to explore. I love exploring science fiction spaces, and flying around checking out caves and weird alien architecture was fun.
Bad: There's not a ton of stuff in the world. Its hard to tell since this is just a demo, but Anthem's neat world seems to be mostly empty. Theres not a lot of reason to stop and look around. Even the neat features like the ruins of small communities, giant alien structures, huge waterfalls, etc, are mostly just decorative. There doesn't seem to be much to do. There are a scattering of enemies, but not much reason to stop and shoot them.
- Good: Anthem has a setting kind of similar to Destiny, as far as I can tell. You're the last humans in the last human stronghold, trying to protect your way of life and keep your society and technology alive in a very hostile world. Thats not super original, but destiny had a visual style that I liked a lot,and Anthem's visual style, especially for its hub city and its NPC inhabitants seems to be a direct copy. Which is just fine with me!
- Bad: There's no character creation,and you never see your character. The game asks you to select a masculine or feminine voice, and then starts you off in the hub city with no other customization. Anthem is a multiplayer game, but like Monster Hunter World and The Division your hub is an instanced area available just to you, so no other players will ever see you there. While in the hub you're stuck in first person mode, so you never get to see what you look like. This is incredibly frustrating to me.It immediately killed my immersion. Instead of feeling like i was an inhabitant of this interesting world I felt like I was just me playing a video game. In Destiny, monster Hunter World and The Division I felt like I was directly involved in those worlds through my character. Here it felt more like i was going on a theme park ride. Weirdly, as soon as you put on your futuristic Iron Man style armor suit and leave the hub city the rest of the game is played in 3rd person. So you can see your armor, and so can everyone else. And while you can customize your armor a fair amount, this feels less like having a unique character and more like having a fancy cell phone case.
Good: You can fly. Anthem is a big place, and the main way you get around is by flying in your Iron Man style armor. And the terrain of the game really encourages that. You'll fly through underground tunnels, over vast waterfalls, in and out of ravines. Theres a lot of chaotic vertical terrain to explore by flying. Bad: Unfortunately flying sucks. once you're actually in the air the flying controls are okay. They're a little clunky,a nd don't feel super responsive, but they're okay. Unfortunately, getting in the air is awkward. You can't just take off like superman. you need to actually be in the air before you can activate your jets, which means jumping up and taking off, or falling off something and taking off. Its the "taking off" action thats the problem. Hitting the button sends you into a kind of twist animation that sends your thrusting forward toward wherever your camera is pointing. The action can be disorienting, especially since your character isn't always facing the direction your camera is pointing. As a result, you often start your flight going slightly the wrong way, or even crashing into a wall or object (which can send you falling back down to the ground, sometimes hundreds of feet). The move gets easier to do with practice, but after hours it still felt awkward to me.
The bigger problem is that  you can only fly for about 10 seconds at a time. Flying is both the main way you get around the game and one of the game's main mechanics. You're meant to be flying  and hovering in battle often. But flying has a resource gauge (a  heat gauge) and it only takes about 10 seconds to overheat. Which means flights tend to be short and stressful, and using flying to explore the world, or even just enjoying flying for its own sake, is really limited. You can extend your fly time by cooling down your engines by flying through waterfalls or skimming rivers, but that mostly requires hugging the ground, and that kind of defeats the point?
Good: Missions are fun. Missions in Destiny and The Division tended to be short and mostly revolved around going to a place and killing a guy or flipping a switch.The 3 missions in Anthem are all more involved than that, and while none of them are super complicated all involve multiple locations, lots of different enemies and a boss fight. For this type of game they're satisfying. The game also has some public events in its freeplay exploration mode which seem fun. In one I was blowing up supply tents in an enemy camp while waves of enemies tried to take me down. In another i was collection alien tech while a giant monster chased me through a swamp. I wouldn't say these were more compelling than Destiny or The Divvisin's public events (and nowhere near as fun as coming across a random monster in Monster Hunter World), but they were enjoyable and I can see myself stopping to participate in them over and over. The demo's one Strike/Dungeon was also pretty enjoyable.
Bad: Missions do a very bad job of actually telling you the mission mechanics. Each of the three missions and dungeon had a puzzle mechanic, but I missed the explanation for all of them. Partially this was because the game just says "collect the thing", but doesn't tell you what the thing looks like or where it is. It took me forever to figure out the tiny glowing ball (hidden amidst the explosions, power effects, glowing plants, acid baths, strobe lights, exploding insects, grenade blasts, etc) was the item we were supposed to collect.In another puzzle I totally missed that there was a puzzle at all, and thought the game had just glitched and wasn't opening a door. My second time through the dungeon, after having nick explain the puzzle mechanic to me, I watched the poor random 4th player who had joined our party run around the puzzle room in confusion looking for the item, because he didnt realize that the very unobtrusive and hard to notice pouch that had appeared on his character WAS the item. unfortunately all we could do was  watch, since he didn't have  a microphone connected.Â
Good: In addition to being able to equip 2 guns, each of the 4 types of armored suits has a selection of built in options hat allow you to attack, defend or support other players. These can be swapped out or upgraded too, which gives you some fun choices. Â I started out with two different throwing weapon attacks, but eventually upgraded to a mine launcher and an acid spray. There seems to be lots of options. Lots of guns too.
Bad: However, gun play sucks. Maybe its just because I've played Destiny for so long, but gun play in Anthem is stiff ad unresponsive. The guns are also just not very fun to use. Theres several types of guns, but they all kind of feel the same and none of them seem very effective. Â Thankfully you don't have to rely on just your guns, since the suit abilities are much more powerful. But shooting is a BIG part of the game, an the guns and gun play are just lackluster. The guns themselves may get more interesting as the game goes on, but I'm not sure gun play will at all.
So I'm undecided on the game. This is just a demo, and the game itself could end up being a lot better. But I was pretty excited about this game, and now a lot of my enthusiasm has died. In fact, more than anything its just made me want to go back to playing Monster Hunter World. I'll wait for the game to be released and see what people have to say before I decide for sure.

Thoughts
Going to ramble. Hopefully this cut works. Mostly trying to be positive even though its confusing.
Itâs been hard recently to stay positive. A lot of Life things are still going wrong and a bunch of problems up in the air. I donât get to relax or do much of anything with whatever free time I happen to have. The animals are a source of both comfort and extreme anxiety. Everyone was getting there though, we were almost Stable and Peaceful until last night.
The new dubia were moved into a huge bioactive enclosure with loads of cork bark and decor, it was horrific but I lost maybe 5-8 roaches of 250+, and the rest of the tarantulas are all almost perfectly up to size and doing well. Kitty molted recently and is massive. Flaveri came out a week or two ago from molting and looks stunning. Everyone who needed it has been rehoused and all are adjusting well. Agnes still paces sometimes but Iâm getting used to her behaviors and needs, I may upgrade her sooner than anticipated so sheâll have more usable space. Otherwise they are doing well. Red goblins have like no adults left, its all dumb nymphs, but there are tons of them and theyâll mature soon enough. Rothi are doing well. The vivs are just fine which is a relief.
The only Not Fine things are the (unfortunately neglected) isopods that I need to rehouse and repair and I guess some adjustments to the red goblin enclosure, but thats as simple as new cork. They got a nice cleaning with a fresh climbing barrier and leaf litter the other day, but they could do with a nice cork hollow or two. Might just buckle down and give them some egg crate for the time being too. Simple fixes that will go a long way towards making everyone comfortable.
I hope soon everyone will be comfortable and stable. Weâre almost completely self sufficient besides produce for the insects and getting some more watermelon pangea sometime soon, and I have tons of extra tubs, substrate, and supplies stored for the inverts. I wonât have to spend much (if anything) on rehouses for a long time and everything is calming down. Mistakes are being fixed, long-term solutions are being implemented. Weâre almost there.
Financially Iâm alright enough, but Iâm struggling with figuring out what to spend my money on and what I need to save. I donât buy many luxuries for myself, it all goes back to the animals. Problem is I really need more clothes, I need to eat better, I want to save up a few hundred to help Jessie with some stuff and get him nice presents (he wants this Expensive keyboard so bad and Iâm going to get it for him for his birthday, and make a custom keycap too. Our roommates [who are Much Richer than I am] said theyâd even help me track one down and pitch in a bit. Iâm also going to pay for the cooling for his computer upgrades. Itâs not suuuper expensive but itâs also Not Free At All), I want to get more foliage and decor for the Ts (I can take advantage of sales though. It shouldnât be too bad), and Iâm saving up for rats this winter/spring ($500.00 budget which is looking actually real!!! Thatâs a post for another time though)...but now FNT also has a lot of what I want for affordable prices and I really want to ask them about their Homoeomma and see if thereâs something I can do to afford one or two more. But thatâs an unexpected expense and Iâm scared that itâs the wrong decision to make.
Iâm all jumbled and worried. Iâm making so many advancements in life but itâs also terrifying. Itâs hard to be happy. My health isnât the best. But you know what, Iâm trying my best to take care of myself (Iâm taking multivitamins every day now, brushing my teeth twice a day, and Iâll make doctors appointments to get up to date on my vaccines, dental, and eyes since Iâm so behind) and this rat research (Iâve researched rodents off and on for a few years and have a History with them, but never realized how perfect they are for me) is giving me new hope. Theyâre wonderful. So sweet, friendly, quiet, and their care and maintenance wouldnât be too bad and their company is much needed. I need quiet affection. I love the geckos and Ts but their lack of handeability is hard sometimes. I thrive on affectionate animals and contact. Something I can hold, pet, something that benefits from interaction but is still patient and not too needy. I really need something like rats in my life, but Iâm worried that getting more Ts would hurt that possibility. Iâm all jumbled. Iâm especially twisted with the number of Ts too. I canât just get one Homoeomma but I really like nice numbers (10, 15, 20, etc.) and Iâd have to get like 6 to make it work out. I am looking at another GBB, E. rufescens, and maybe an A. moderatum but Iâm just not sure. I emailed FNT to ask if theyâll still have Homoeomma in for a while so I can think about it.
Iâm not sure what will happen though. I just hope it all works out in the end and that I donât make bad decisions. I donât want to impulse buy animals and I donât want to cause unnecessary stress and pain in the long run. I need to make sure Iâll have enough room for all the Ts when theyâre adults, and I need to make sure I can support them all maintenance-wise. 20 seemed to be perfect and Iâm slightly intimidated by more than that, which is a very bad sign. I hope it works out. I need to keep thinking.
Iâm going to get back to rat research and try to keep my head on straight. I miss Hollis so much. But slipping back into a depressive streak isnât good at all and I need to keep going. Iâm worried that itâs not okay to do this, I feel like itâs best to sleep all day and stay quiet since I lost a pet and itâs not fair to dream about getting more when I just lost one, but I canât afford to be any more depressed.
I hope this is the right thing to do. Iâm going to keep going.

Rate the Ship - Â 10/10 Id die for them bothAwful | Ew | No pics pls | Iâm not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Letâs do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How was their first kiss? - Awkward, but loving. The first time either of them has even kissed another Living Being
Wedding:
Who proposed? - Haruka! He proposes REALLY QUICKLY (like. not even a year after they come back and start dating). Heâs a grownass adult and he can make his own decisions. Heâs loved her since he was 16. He has no idea how long his life will be, and thereâs no way in hell heâs gonna wait and potentially miss that wedding cake.
Who is the best man/men? - Shitnaro
Who is the braidâs maid(s)? - Ayano
Who did the most planning? - They work together! They both put so much stuff off to the last minute and have no idea what works together but it adds to the charm. Haruka had complete control over the cake tho.
Who stressed the most? - Takane. But sheâs always stressed.
How fancy was the ceremony? -
Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

How many children will they adopt? - Â 3! C... Call me pathetic but I actually have designs and Toyhou.se pages for them. (Tho as a note the Toyhou.se page talks abt the whole Yuukei Quartet adopting them as opposed to Harutak, cause thats my big endgame ship)Â
Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - No-one really, cause they donât adopt any kids THAT young. The youngest is Rei and sheâs like four.
Who is the stricter parent? - Takane. But even sheâs not too strict. She softens up to puppy dog eyes, especially when even HARUKA is giving them.
Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - BOTH OF THEM. THEY DONT WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN.
Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Haruka. As you could have guessed, he knows how to make a good meal.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? -Â Haruka holy fuck
Who cried the most at graduation? - H A R U K A
Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - ...Takane. Yeah. Takane.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Takane. Sheâs super picky and only likes things if they taste EXACTLY HOW SHE WANTS THEM. She also gets self conscious about eating a lot. Meanwhile Haruka is a living garbage disposal.
Who does the grocery shopping? - If they have the time, both of them. But if not, just Haruka.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Meat.
Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Haruka. Heâs the biggest sap and HE STILL LOVES FOOD
Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Takane. Sheâs a lazy shit.
Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Neither of them. Danchouâs more likely.
Chores:Â

Who is really against chores? - Takane
Who cleans up after the pets? - Haruka.
Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - HARUKA. HE MIGHT CLEAN MORE BUT THERES A REASON WHY LETTING HIM DO IT ALL THE TIME IS A BAD IDEA

âAre you prepared for the kind of death youâve earned little man?â
Inkwell hadnât expected to get so lost on his way back to Bel-Town. Being the only Hero within a four town radius with no sense of direction at such an age was rather taxing on the mind.Â
Then again, he was taxing on everyone elseâs minds, so that was a win-win in his book.
That was the life of Grigor Halwn after all. Insane to the max with a quirk to match. No one wanted him.
No one, until he met Aurelia Alberi.
âAre you prepared for the kind of death youâve earned little man?â
âI promise, it wonât be quick or painless.â
Aurelia had him pinned to the ground, various kinds of knives at the ready. All of them were a rosy shade of gold and ornately decorated. And against his throat they felt soothing. Like ice water after being in the desert for months on end.Â
And the burning rage in her eyes that shone through her tears.Â
âWhere have you been all my life?â
Aurelia glared at him. âStop blushing! Youâre supposed to be begging for your life. Youâre supposed to be saying that youâll get your vengeance and Iâd say âburn in hellâ, all that bullshit you villains love.â
âYou think Iâm a villain?â Grigor laughed. âThank goodness. For a moment, I thought you were one of my many admirers. Theyâre always trying to kill me.â
âYou...admirers?â
âOh, where are my manners. Grigor Halwn. Though the world knows me as Inkwell the Heroic Demon. Itâs an honor, nay, a privilege to meet someone as powerful as you miss-?â
â...Aurelia Alberi.â
âAurelia,â he sighed. âSuch a beautiful name. Like the sun over the morning waves. Or the moon shining against the greatest tempest.â
âIf you donât shut up, Iâll kill you where you stand.â
âGood thing Iâm laying down then.â
Aureliaâs face burned bright red as the tears fell harder. âShut up. I donât need someone like you taunting me.â
Grigorâs smile faded as he reached up to dry her tears. âYou know, tears donât suit you...Where did you get them? Iâd be glad to demand a refund in your place.â
Aureliaâs shoulders shook as she backed away, dropping the knives as she sank to her knees. It was only when he sat up did he realize she was covered in bruises and a few cuts. Like sheâd just run into the forest on a whim. He sat beside her, offering her a handkerchief.Â
âMy home was overtaken by villains,â she wept. âIâm from Aeron, you see. An entire townâs worth of villains came and killed everyone. My parents. My siblings. All gone. Iâm all thatâs left of my home. And there werenât any Heroes strong enough to stop them from taking everything else.â
âI see...â He slowly began to stand. âThen perhaps I should try to-â
âNo!â She grabbed onto him. âDonât! Theyâll just kill you too!â
âYou donât know that.â
âI was able to stop you, but I couldnât stop them. What does that say?â
â...it says youâre rather wise.â He helped her up and took off his coat, wrapping it around her. âWhat should we do then?â
Aurelia stared at him, trying to regain some control. âI just want to get out of this forest. Please.â
Grigor nodded. âOf course. This way, my lady. I think I can hear the highway not far from here.â
âAnd after that we...um...â
âHow about this,â he suggested. âIâll get you out of this forest and weâll get to the police station in the next town over. Youâll tell them everything you know and Iâll let my agency know. Then weâll go from there.â
â...can you...stay with me until then? I donât...I donât know if I can be alone right now...â
âOf course. Iâll stay with you as long as you want me to.â He smiled fondly. âIâll even let you stab me and give me that well earned death you were talking about. After all that, Iâm feeling a bit stabby.âÂ
Aurelia stared at him blankly for a moment before bursting into laughter. Grigor kept an arm around her as they walked, and eventually they made it to the highway.Â
Inkwell snickered as he slipped on his shoes. He had been planning to head there anyway, but this just sped up the process. Things had been busy in Aeron since Crest announced his retirement. Everyone would be changing up their ranks in the Geodes, and heâd need someone in mind soon to take his place as the âshadowâ should he end up going up to second in command.
Not that he wanted it. Being with these stuck up snobs treating it like some kind of badge of honor was sickening. Theyâd almost completely forgotten their roots. That was fine. Heâd be sure to remind everyone as soon as he got back.
He had to make sure a certain someone didnât get involved for their own good first.
âAurelia, darling!â Inkwell called. âCan you come here a moment? I got big news!â
âIn the kitchen. Youâll need to come here!â
âAre you going to stab me if I do?â
âNo promises!â
God I love that woman.
