The Bad Batch Workout Split
I'm a bit of an intense gym-goer. Anime, live-action characters, and other animations have really inspired me to go above and beyond what I thought I could do. Clone Force 99 inspires me so much! They're all so fit, have different advantages, skills, and physical strengths. For fun, I created a workout split based on each of the modified clones. I hope you enjoy it! There’s a bit of a fanfic element to it as each Bad Batcher describes their favorite workout routine:)

Tumblr media
Wrecker - Legs
Wrecker never skips leg day. Whether he's on a mission or with Gonky in the back of the ship, he's always training! Wrecker encourages you to train safely! He says to feel free to train until failure on machines, but to pick a weight you'll be safe with on the free weight work.

Grimes 68 by @tllgrrl aka nefertiri jones
Tumblr media
Summary: After almost 8 years apart, Michonne finds Rick Grimes, the love of her life and father of their children, and he brings her into the Civic Republic Military. For the time being: 1) She has to pretend to be someone else to avoid being seen as a threat; 2) He has to figure out a plan for the two of them to get out; and 3) They have to try and act like they’re strangers to each other instead of reunited lovers.
(The key word is “try”.)
* * * * *
*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*
The steel kill sticks striking against the brick wall rang in the parking lot of what was left of a post office.
A former postal service semi that now had protective grills over the windows led the next herd of the dead, or what the CRM called “deltas”— “delts” for short—into the large space on the one side of the harvest wall.
The shuffling hoard was drawn by the noise and flashing lights mounted on the truck.
*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*
The consignees readied themselves on the other side, and as the delts shambled to open spaces in the wall, each one was met with a blow that drove a sharp, prong-ended spear (“kill stick”) into its skull, followed by a twist of the wrist that destroyed its brain, effectively and finally killing it.
It was a repetitive, bloody, mind-numbing grind, and some said that it was brutal for the workers because it wasn’t easy to completely forget that the delts were once living human beings too.
Grimes had done his time at The Wall. He’d even become a legend with the number of kills he could rack up in a shift.
It was painted in big letters on the side of a nearby building, for all to see:
GRIMES 68.
He was also well-known for the number of attempts he’d made to do something no one else in the City wanted to do: Escape. Wanting to leave the safety and security of the CR so badly that he actually cut off his own shackled hand at the wrist, only to fail again and be brought back to the Wall.
Time and time again an officer in the Civic Republic Military gave him a chance to join up, and he refused each offer, preferring to be at the culling facility, killing the dead and planning his next escape attempt.
Then one day, he accepted the offer. He traded his Consignee jacket for a CRM uniform. Instead of using a kill stick, he got a fancy, deadly prosthetic hand with a retractable blade. He got all kinds of specialized training, all the perks as he rose through the ranks, and he never had to cull delts again.
But now, after having been gone for years, there he was. Back at the Wall. Watching.
Watching her.
The new consignee.
The dark-skinned Black woman with her hair cut short on one side of her head, exposing a beautiful profile; and locs cascading down just past her shoulder in the back and on the other side of her face .
The woman who, after her on-boarding interview, was designated a Type “B”, seeking safety, willing to work, and keeping to herself, but had the carriage and demeanour of an “A” who was always observing, was more than capable of defending herself, and being a provider of safety. A leader.
Word soon got around among the Consignees that the ex-consignee/now military officer known as “the famous Rick Grimes” had not only survived a chopper crash, but he’d started showing up at the harvest wall. Coming back to a place he’d gotten away from years earlier, only to return when a mysterious new consignee was brought into the CRM.
*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*
“Hey. Look who just pulled up,” said a consignee who had her red hair tied back with, of all things, a bright pink ribbon that was tied in a bow.
“Holy shit! ‘zat Grimes?” another consignee added, tying a bandana on his head, cholo style, then slipping on his face shield. “He doesn’t have to be here any more. What’s up with that?”
“Bethune’s not-so-secret admirer,” snickered the worker to pink bow’s left, stabbing his kill stick into a delt that sagged and dropped. “She doesn’t see him yet. But she knows he’s there. Watch. In 3..2..1.”
Michonne—known to the other consignees as “Dana Bethune” —stationed at the far end of the wall, continued to methodically dispatch delts.
Then she stopped, looked over her shoulder, and found the tall CRM officer. Standing there, at ease, even with his helmet and face guard on, she knew he was watching her.
It seemed like they stood there, the only people at the wall. 5…10…15 minutes. Watching each other. Breathing the same air. At last…
3 seconds later, she turned her head back to the oncoming delts, and went back to work.
Behind her mask, the other consignees couldn’t see the small smile that graced her lips, or hear her whisper “I found you.”
Behind his mask, no one could see the CRM officer smile as he whispered “You found me.”
*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*
“You see that?” drawled the consignee to pink bow’s right, continuing to spear oncoming delts. “Somethin’s up with those two.”
“I know, right? For the past two weeks, he’s here. Same time every day she’s on shift, just before third break. Look at him lookin’. Even wearin’ the consignee jacket, the mask, an’ her hair all tucked in, it only takes him a second to find her. And a second for her to know he’s here. Like they’re—”
“Might could be that ass is imprinted on his brain!” laughed a big man nearby with a bushy black beard.
“Maybe it’s because she saved his life out there.”
“Peterson said somethin’ about that. It’s true?”
“‘parently so. His chopper went down. Got blown right outta the sky and crashed.”
“You serious?!”
“Word is it was a scrub with some kinda RPG an’ shit,” a consignee added to the story while wiping a splatter of brains and blood off of his face guard.
“Stop lyin’! How’d they even get that? After the Fall, CRM took over most of the bases out there with a quickness.”
“There was military stuff out in the wild even before everything went to shit. All kinds o’ stuff is still out there,” bushy beard opined. “Shouldn’t be a surprise all these years later somebody has a bazooka or some ordinance hidden away. There’s jeeps, even tanks here and there. I lived in one for a couple o’ months before I got found and brought here. CRM scoops ‘em up quick as they can, but—”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. So anyway, the scuttlebut’s that Sargent Major Loverboy there, an’ the other troopers jumped out of the wrecked chopper an’ the scrub starts firein’ on ‘em. The ones he could catch, he slit their throats…with a sword.”
“A what?” bandana scoffed, stabbing into what was left of the next delt’s face. “Get outta here with that BS, man!”
“I’m just tellin’ you what I heard! Grimes was about ta get got, when Bethune comes runnin’ outta the woods, grabs one of the dead trooper’s weapons and shoots the scrub!”
“Wow. Maybe that’s why he’s here all the time,” pink bow chuckled. “Hell, I’d be in love with her too.”
“Get in line,” beard snarked. “You really think those two know each other?”
“Know each other?” the woman laughed, stabbed a delt and shook its eyeball off of her kill stick. “I think they’re fuckin’.”
“No way!” bandana exclaimed. “She just got here!”
<<<Good work, Section 5 and 6 Consignees. Bethune and Clifton, please report to post-shift health check before boarding transport.>>>
“Think about it,” pink bow explained. “Grimes is an officer on the inside now and doesn’t need to be at the Harvest Wall any more. Who’d come back to this shit after their 6 years of consignment is up? Now, all of a sudden, he’s back. Out here almost every day. Why?”
She tipped her head toward the driveway and they watched Grimes remove his helmet and turn completely around to watch “why” aka “Dana Bethune” walk past, avoiding his eyes.
*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*
“Oh, yeah…” pink bow grinned. “They’re fuckin’.”
* * * * *
This bit of nonsense was inspired by The Walking Dead spin-off, The Ones Who Live - Episode 3: “Bye”.

How DELTATRAVELER is the funniest UT fangame by complete accident.
Over the course of the past year, I've talked a ton about various UT/DR fan-projects and my thoughts regarding them and their writing. One fan-work I have talked extensively about on various forums and threads being DELTATRAVELLER. For a while, I didn't know exactly how to feel about this game. It felt like an enigma to me. 
The game was enjoyable to play, it was entertaining to read. Yet I could never get myself invested in anything regarding the game's narrative or characters. It was as if the game was unintentionally written to obliterate (pun entirely intended) any and all chances for narrative investment in its story and characters. What the game did have over me was that it had me in histersics for the majority of its runtime. Yet, paradoxically, none of the jokes written to be funny landed for me. For a while I didn't fully know why and how it made me feel about the game as a whole. How can you say you enjoyed  something a lot whilst also laughing at it and acknowledging that under any other circumstance, it wouldn't be something that you'd consider to be good?
Spoiler alert: I found that answer, which I will now be explaining to YOU in weirdly esoteric detail !!!
But before we start, let's start of with the basic premise of DELTATRAVELER for those not in the know. 
What is a "DELTATRAVELER"
DELTATRAVELER is a UT/DR fangame about Kris, Susie and Noelle being isekai'd from a Post-Chapter 2 DELTARUNE into the worlds of various different video games and UNDERTALE on a quest to find a way home. The game was inspired and made off the back of "GOD FUCKING damnit KRIS where the FUCK are we!?" which was a very popular meme at the time of DELTARUNE: Chapter 2's release. 
Like DELTARUNE, the game is divided and released in chapters (dubbed 'sections' by the devs). Each chapter is set in a different world and has the Shit Squad (The objectively best name for the heroes) explore, fight and eventually find that world's "grey door" which serves as the end goal for the chapter as that will take the Shit Squad to the next world after the boss of the chapter is complete. In total the game is slated to have eight total chapters with what they are based on being revealed in advanced:
Chapter 1: UNDERTALE 
Chapter 2: Earthbound
Chapter 3: GG!UNDERFELL
Chapter 4: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Chapter 5: TS!UNDERSWAP
Chapter 6: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Chapter 7: Toontown Online
Chapter 8: The Dark (the game's finale)
Tumblr media
Currently as of this post, DELTATRAVELER is still a work in progress with Chapter 3 being released back in December. As a result all discussion of the game of the game will be on Chapters 1-3 as those are what's out right now.
I think I should preface this post with me saying, I don't think DELTATRAVELER is a bad game, quite the opposite, actually! I enjoyed my time with it.
Mechanically, the gameplay is really well done, the physics feel very on point to UT/DR, which is surprisingly rare for a lot of UT fan-games. It felt like I was playing UT/DR and was rewarded for the skills I had gained from the collective hundreds of hours I have played these games. 
Visually, I think it looks very solid and charming. Seeing various locales and characters from other games being translated into UT/DR's iconic, sometimes janky artstyle is always cool to see and it will be very interesting to see how games like A Link to the Past are adapted in future chapters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Musically, I think the game is fine. The original songs in the OST doesn't have anything I'd point to as "bangers" but also doesn't have anything I thought was particularly hard to listen to (With the outlier maybe being Eye for an Eye. The obligatory Megalo for the Sans fight in the GG!UNDERFELL chapter. But even then, I wouldn't even call the song "bad". I just don't like it too much and that's fine! just how music taste works.)
But to get to the main point. The most intreasting thing about DELTATRAVELER to me, is the way the game is written which has proven to be quite the controversial topic within the broader fandom which is what I'll try to give an in-depth and nuanced disection of but to put a long story short, I don't think this game is written well. Most of the core issues I have with DELTATRAVELER's writing can be attributed to a single, fundamental flaw. That being how the game handles it's "tone"
Explaining Tone
In writing, Tone is a very multi-factor concept, working as the bedrock for a given work. To put it simply and cleanly, tone is basically "the vibes" of a given thing. Tone can come in a lot of different flavours. Whether that be the tone of a given scene, the work itself or even the tone of an entire series. Tone is important as keeping tone consistent with itself is one of the major factors in narrative investment. It essentially tells the audience what they can and can't expect from a work of fiction.
Let's use this as an example:
You're watching a movie, in the movie there's a scene involving the protagonist having an anvil inexplicably dropped on their head by the antagonist.
If this movie was a comedy for children and family, the tone of this scene would ensure that this be as funny a punchline as possible or the set up for a funny punchline. This expectation built by the previous events of the story shields the narrative and characters from anything that might be too ill-fitting for the "comedy for child and family tone" it's trying to go for. At most the protagonist could be expected to suffer from a Loney Toons-like knockout rather than ending in a hospital bed with a shattered skull. Or, at worst, splattered and crushed across the pavement in an intensely gruesome fashion. If that happened, it wouldn't pass the story's "vibe check" which can cause something that I'll be calling "Tonal Whiplash"
If you want an example of "Tonal Whiplash" and the effects it can have on the audience, look no further than Shadow the Hedgehog
Tumblr media
This game, to be frank. Is fucking hilarious and this is in part due to the mere concept of the game about Shadow using a gun breaking the tone set series-wide by other Sonic games and media in the past. (Expect Sonic Adventure 2, that has similar issues to a lesser extent)
It takes a series about stopping egg-themed villain from ruling the world to trying to assassinate the president and watching as a innocent girl gets shot in the back by what is basically, the USA military. And it all tries to do this in the Sonic series' iconic, albeit rather corny writing while also intened to appeal to older kids and be "cool". It leaves the game being kinda a clusterfuck even beyond just its tone issue, in a very funny way.
Now, this isn't to say that breaking tone is necessarily a bad thing all the time. Sometimes it's intentional, a way to make a moment hit harder, surprise the audience or all of the above. However, breaking tone is a narrative risk and if it fails you risk hurting the narrative investment your audience has within your work and to top it off once tone has been broken, it can't really be put back together with a story. You'll basically be shifting the tone of the story from that point on.
An easy example of this tonal shift is UT itself with it's Geno Route.
How UNDERTALE handles it's tone
UT's tone is one that acknowledges its nature as a video game with the usage of diegetic game mechanics like SAVING and the battle system.
This has many unique effects, for example means things like death as a concept is something that is treated rather lightly within the game's tone, the game even joking about it on the occasion. It's rather pointless treating death as anything other than a slight inconvenience to the human when you directly acknowledge that they can undo it by simply not wanting to die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This treatment of death intentionally clashes with how it's treated when you kill monsters in a Geno Route. Papyrus is a shining example of this. Being something of an emotional obstacle for the player. Designed to make the player feel shit. Basically UT's writing is effectively, unapologetically trying to guilt trip you as another test of your determination to see this run to its completion.
Tumblr media
The emotional weight of this scene is less carried by the idea of death and more so the fact that you hurt one of your favourite characters and won't see him anymore for the remainder of the run. It's more character focused, if you've already begun to withdraw your narrative investment and attachment to the characters or if you simply just don't give a fuck, it's not gonna make you feel anything. It'd just be another monster to slay, another number to increase.
Now you might find yourself wondering. How can UT be funny and sad without it leading to side effects normally seen by "tonal whiplash"? UT is funny, sure. There's a lot of jokes, each joke told in UT is a joke told by either a character or the world. Each joke means something beyond it being a funny line. But UT can also be heartfelt, like the walk up to Asgore. It all further fleshes these characters out making them feel more deep and layered, it treats it's world and characters not as jokes to be laughed at but as people, people who can be funny, people that can be sad and down even if you and the game both know that deep down, they aren't real. Just bundles of pixels and dialogue for your entertainment which is what makes Geno's clash work.
Your attachment to the characters and world. It's sudden, yes. But that's why it hits. NPCs vanish and their absence is felt, the once lively music replaced with a slowed drone. It all feels empty. It's dark, all because you have killed the things that gave this game its "light". UT's tone is something that . The tone of Pasifist runs reinforce and bring greater impact to Geno runs and that's why it feels less like tonal whiplash to the audience.
Now, let's get to DELTATRAVELER. If we want to establish how DELTATRAVELER establishes a tone for itself what best than analysis the beginning?
How DELTATRAVELER handles it's tone
After an amusing title screen and a quick file selection, we open with Kris and Susie on a bed of flowers, the first room of UT. After a brief moment of the two getting their bearings, they stand up and Susie turns to Kris before saying "God Damnit Kris! Where the hell are we?!!" fit with a silly pose and sound effect. A reference to the meme that inspired the game's creation.
The next scene is in the very next room and it's encounter with Flowey. Here he attempts the same speech he said in UT before Susie cuts him off, gets him to spill the beans that he was actually after Kris' SOUL before getting into a battle. Where they make a joke about DR battles being different from UT battles before Susie bashes her HUD into Kris' creating a unique one that DELTATRAVELER uses before blasting Flowey away with Rude Buster.
Off the cuff, DELTATRAVELER isn't really being serious. So far it's spent the first couple of scenes essentially making jokes around the characters, world and basic premise of the game and the game will continue to do this with inclusion such as Ralsei smoking a blunt, referencing a meme of the same name and Noelle making expressions referencing both a popular SpongeBob and MegaMind memes. On its own, this isn't really a bad thing, sure I may personally find it very unfunny but the game starting off with various memes isn't even a negative in principle, it just indicates that it doesn't want the audience to take it too seriously, which if that was the intention, would be fine. The issue DELTATRAVELER has with it's writing is that it unfortunately does want me to take it seriously.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The game makes an attempt to emulate UT's writing style, attempts to have serious moments sprinkled amongst jokes. However, unlike UT, DELTATRAVELER's brand of humour is basically solely self aware memes. Oftentimes, made at the expense of its own characters and world, leaving the moments where the game actually wants to be taken serious to fall flat.
Things like Kris' nightmare during Chapter 3, where they wonder why they are cursed with our control before lamenting about how much they want to rip their SOUL out and destroy it. Before crying out that they "Don't want to die alone." Doesn't have the impact the game wants it to have, because prior to that point, the game had basically already told the audience not to take the game too seriously, thus hurting any narrative and emotional investment the player could form with this interpretation of Kris as a character leading up to that point.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The same can be said with DELTATRAVELER's Geno Route equivalent, dubbed by the devs as The Obliteration Route watching the game in one route go from, "Ralsei Dobbie! No Bitches? Vine boom!" to beating and slaughtering a beloved protagonist and watching the kid bleed out on the ground as the other fights for revenge whilst a cover of (fucking) MEGALOVANIA starts playing in another takes what should be a very climactic and emotional moment and turns it into the single funniest boss fight I have played.
Tumblr media
And that isn't counting the various other characterization issues present throughout the route as a whole. Characters like Noelle and Susie have no real reason to help Kris with the run once they notice them seemingly going around looking for people to slaughter. DELTATRAVELER especially when the game then goes out of its way to show the player that both party members have the digetic ability to reject the player's control, to the point where they can refuse to enter battles with Kris entirely.
Tumblr media
But they don't, they'll even attack Ness and Paula under a certain percentage of health even after Susie tells explicitly Kris to not kill them. It leads to the game putting the blame on Kris and then The Player for a situation Susie and Noelle also have established agency over. Susie can help and kill a ton of monsters yet still be pissed at Kris for what is, under the game's internal logic, still a choice she chose to follow. The game tries to remedy this via Chapter 3's talk with the trio and it's better, sure. But it still leaves the writing in this strange place of hypocrisy with the characterization to me.
One scene that sticks out to me as particularly odd being after a secret Gaster lore dump cutscene on an Aborted Obliteration run has Noelle say:
"Kris..."
"If you were serious about not having control."
"You would've done it."
Directly implying that she thought Kris should've jumped off the cliff... which is just a strange inclusion, I feel is... Done more so to enlist a reaction in the player rather than creating important moments that respects the world and established characterization.
Tumblr media
On the topic of weird characterization, let's talk Sans...
In the GG!UNDERFELL chapter, the main antagonists are Papyrus and Sans. Papyrus, is written, pretty recognisably from his Canon Counterpart. Sans however? Is a mess and a wonderful mess, at that. They take this very edgy, unhinged approach to his character, making him into an insane killer type of character similar to AUs like Dusttale. Throughout the chapter, he tries his damnest to kill Kris and take their SOUL, talking vaugely about a gurdge that doesn't ever get elaborated on. This approach creates a dynamic between Sans and Papyrus, where Sans is basically on Papyrus' metaphorically leash. Reaching a breaking point where he kicks Papyrus off a cliff, rushes at Kris like a feral dog before being being thrown off the bridge, leading to his battle.
His battle... oh my god his battle! It was easily the best part of the game, to the point it had to have its dialogue rewritten, the reason for this being honestly something I cannot begin to accurately describe to you while also doing the scene justice. So here's a clip from Andrew Cunningham's playthrough.
This isn't even the ironic either, this was just how Sans was written. The tone takes itself very seriously, this creates this type of divide where the game has already conditioned you not take it seriously, while trying to take itself completely seriously. It's peak tonal whiplash and it makes the scene, and the fight as a whole, unintentional hilarious.
Final Thoughts
The weirdest part? I don't even care. I've spent the better half of this essay arguing the flaws in DELTATRAVELER's writing, and while I do think they are all valid positions to have, for me? I don't really care about it that much, it's these issues that make me like the game. It's really funny in a very earnest, albeit unintentional way and at the end of the day. It's entertaining to read and there is value there. It's why I am not big on the rewrite of GG!Fell Sans. His issues come from fundemental aspect of his character that couldn't be changed with a simple rewrite, nor should it have it been expected to, as a result however, it doesn't really fix his character for me, it just takes a big part of what I enjoyed from him away. It's sort of a shining example on how when creating, you do not have a choice on how other people see your work. Some jokes you might tell might land and be funny, but also to some, may be brutally annoying and that's just the beauty of the beast. There's always room to analyse, to see if what the creator wanted to convey reads back to the audience. But even if there is critical flaws with the writing, enjoyment of that writing isn't inheritantly attached to author intentions or even the quality of the content, it's a feeling, a subjective one at that. It's why I could say I don't like Sonic the Hedgehog and Kingdom Hearts for being too corny and cheesey but to others, that's exactly what they love about it, and there's a lot of value in that.
There isn't a correct way to have an opinion, a right way to like or dislike something. You like things for the reasons you like them, you dislike you dislike them and that's fine.
However, I do want to take the time in this post to address pretty plevalent fandom issue perpetuated by the wider.
In the past, the UT/DR community was, to be frank rather toxic and elitist, it still is, depending on where you look. Overtime though, there's been a shift, whether be because those types of people moved on to other things or simply grew out of that behaviour, it doesn't matter why just that it has happened. There's a lot more positivity in this community and that is great to see. All healthy communities need such things. However, I do believe that as a result of this, the fandom now is suffering from a "rubber band mentality" where we've pulled too far in the opposite direction, leading to what feels like ironically "toxic positivity".
A lot of people feel very passionate about these fan-projects and that should be celebrated. However a trend I've seen in this fandom, one which has had a net negative effect on this community, is how we as a community react to people voicing opinions/ making jokes or just talking negatively about these beloved works.
You see it a lot with works like UNDERTALE: Yellow, DELTATRAVELER, Inverted Fate, all of the big fandom projects. Everytime a critique or just a joke about a fan-work gets more than like 10K Views on social media, the entire fandom begins to fold into basically damage control, regressing into "can we just not be so negative about the super popular fandom work loved by thousands?" People that voice their opinions on these work, especially negative opinions, get dogpiled, mocked and dismissed because according to them they "don't understand the writing", "hate fan works" or are just being "bitter about works made with passion and love and should simply shouldn't engage", even when said people once taking the time to actually hear them out, provide criticism that's honestly pretty valid.
I'd understand if people were directly going after devs, commenting under their tweets, invading their own communities just to mock and be the answer to a question nobody answered. That is wrong and should be called out. Voicing how funny or even terrible you think certain scenes are on your public social media? Ultimately, that's harmless in the grander scheme of things and I feel like fans and creators should be mindful of how they react to things because at the end of the day. People are allowed to voice their opinions, they are also allowed to make jokes and laugh at the writing, they are allowed to do all of that. People want to treat fan works like works of art and I am right there with them, but if you want to do that, you have to actually start treating them like art and accept it's a completely subjective thing. People will have different thoughts about them and that's okay! The moment you start policing what thoughts should and shouldn't be expressed is when any meaningful discussion dies. This whole mentality that since it took hard work and dedication to make a fan project should be celebrated to the highest order and treated as an object of reverence, absolved from all criticism is a harmful mentality to fall into. A thing can both require hard work and dedication and also be criticised and joked about by people. These two can co-exist. One doesn't somehow counteract and invalidate the other.
For some, analysing and critiquing media is a fun thing to do! It helps you get a better understand of the medium you're analysing, what works and what doesn't. It's legitimately fun to have discussions about. Being negative about works, even if they are works of passion aren't the end of the world, especially when they are just posts made by people just minding their own business. Jokes? Shitposts? They should all be allowed, because that's also how some people enjoy works of fiction. And if you don't want to see it? Valid but there are countless methods available to ensure that that don't involve creating a "good vibes only" type of fandom environment that everyone is forced to adhere to. That helps nobody and only breeds division within this community, I think.

The Smell of Smoke
F!Reader x OC
Part 9~
His Info: 🐺🍒
Part 1 — Part 8, Part 9 Epilogue.
(parts 1 - 8 is a different ML)
!!!MINORS DNI!!!
Tumblr media
CW: F! Reader, reader has a vagina, reader referred to as she/her, married reader, reader has ptsd, therapy, werewolf, size kink/difference, reader in a dress, bloody meat eating(not by reader), comfort for all the past hurt, protected sex, sweet tbh, lovey dovey, p in v, fingering, squirting,
Tumblr media
It’s been a few years… Well five to be exact.
You still haven’t been able to have sex in a while, but your partner doesn’t push you.
In fact he doesn’t even ask.
He just wants you to be happy and he knows when you’re ready you’ll come to him.
He’s comfortable with you, and you’re comfortable with him.
You both live in a cozy little stone cottage with a fireplace in the middle of a spruce forest. It’s perfect, everything you needed after everything you went through.
You also, thankfully, have internet, and are able to attend weekly meetings with a therapist, and monthly meetings with a psychiatrist.
Ever since what happened you’ve hardly been the same person, but you’ve been filling your hollowed shell back up slowly with things you can enjoy, and Ace helps you every step of the way.
And After his brother died he didn’t chase you down, he was just there for you, and you were there for him.
It happened as naturally as the rivers rush to ocean. As caterpillars morph into butterflies.
And you’ve always trusted him, even when it was all going down.
He doesn’t even mind in the slightest that you spend your nights reading smut about abusive partners to cope with what you delt with. Even though it worried him at first, he thought that you might try and go seek it out. He knows now it’s just a safe mechanism to help your brain feel less traumatized by what happened in the past.
Your life is peaceful.
Today’s your marriage’s anniversary!
Ace is walking you through the woods, a picnic basket on one arm, and you on the other. The trees smell so amazing…
He even offered to carry you, but you just giggled back at him, and walked ahead until you realized he’s leading the way and had to return to his side.
His muscles are even bigger now, he chops firewood for you both all year long to stock up so he doesn’t have to as much in the winter. And in the winter he has a weight lifting set in your shed with a space heater.
He takes his morning runs, and his monthly transition is one of the easiest things you’ve had to “deal” with, as he calls it. He turns into a big humanoid puppy, it’s too good to be true, and you wouldn’t believe it yourself if your didn’t get to cuddle a massive and super warm, super fluffy werewolf every month.
You don’t need the fireplace or even blankets on those nights, his massive body keeps you toasty.
“We’re almost there,” He sighs happily, his big warm hand covering yours to were your fingers look just so tiny it’s almost funny to you.
“I can’t wait! I um… Have a surprise for you too, hah,” You laugh trying not to sound nervous.
“You didn’t have to get me anything Y/nick/N! I just love you!”
“Well i did anyway!” You stick your tongue out at him defiantly.
“Hah! well okay then, I’m not about to turn down anything from you!” His beaming smile is contagious and you breathe in the fresh, nature scented air.
He leads you to a gorgeous clearing not too far from your home with a lake and a waterfall… He put up fairy lights, and it looks like the cleaning is sparkling! It’s beautiful, like actual little fairies dancing between the branches all around.
“Woah!” You pull away from him to run ahead, and do a spin. Your dress flows out as you do.
The grass is so soft here, and the setting sun kisses your skin through the branches.
You deserve this life.
This nice, peaceful, perfect life.
With a partner that actually loves and cares for you.
Speaking of, You turn back to see him gazing in utter awe at you. His head tilted to one side like an innocent puppy with his ears perked up waiting for a treat.
And you have one for him… After food of course.
“Come, let’s eat! I made your favorites,” He learned your favorite foods and learned how to make them for you, all those bad days of panic attacks and flashbacks made better with a yummy treat. Sure it didn’t fix them, but he cares and that’s what helped the most. His actions show nothing but care and love and patience with you.
Your meal is amazing, he’s cooked it to perfection. His is an extra rare steak and some grilled asparagus. You always know what he’s gonna pick to eat too, something bloody with a side of homegrown dark greens.
He built you a green house and raised flower beds, so most of your food you get to grow yourself, he hunts for the rest.
You’re both relaxing with content bellies when you look from the stars to him, and down to your hand in his.
“Ace, I want you…” you tell him in earnest.
“A-are you sur— No, right! Of course you are… Please tell me the second you’re uncomfortable, I won’t be upset!” he stammers a little, while messing with his fluffy pink mop.
In your purse you brought lube and a condom, and you show him with a hot face.
His smile is dorky and cute, if his tail was out it’d be wagging, he can’t help his excitement, and his aura’s vibrations in the air seep into your body.
You smile your own cute dorky smile back up at him.
He gently takes your hand and leads you down into the grass, laying you on your back. The ground hugs you, and feels just like a comfy cushion all around. The weeds tickle your arms and legs adding to your overall giddiness.
he puts the condom in between his lips while he takes off his shirt over top of you.
He keeps looking at you with big round pink puppy dog eyes, making sure you’re still alright.
His rough hands that are oh so soft against your skin, travel from your calves to your thighs, around your sides up to your collar bones and down your arms. He’s worshiping every inch of you.
You join him and start to feel up his muscles, his rock hard chest, to his washboard abs, back up to his shoulders and down his huge arms and into his hands.
“C-can we hold hands…” You ask looking away bashfully.
a tear forms in the corner of his eye, “You’re so precious, Y/N” he blinks it away with an honest and heartfelt laugh. “I have to… Put this on first” His dorky smile comes right back and you let go, your hands in little nervous fists up on either side of your chest. “Hey it’s okay, I’m here, You’re okay,” He coos, and gently finds your hands again.
“May i?” He asks, and you nod your head. His hand glides over your skin again, pulling your dress up over your waist, and exposing your lower half. He pulls down your panties and lets out a shaky sigh, admiring your body.
His lust is palpable, and you’re feeling the heat too. You have been for a while, you just still felt so scared. Everytime you’d think about it and you’d be unable to breathe or function for days. Not to mention the night terrors that had you waking up punching Ace, not knowing it was him and not Ezra.
But it’s been long enough and you want to be fully free and happy, without the past weighing you down anymore. You were finally getting better.
Healing.
He presses a couple fingers to your slit, “I-is this still okay?”
“Y-yes!” You quietly gasp your response, not fully expecting his touch that time. His hands are so hot, and so, so big, and calloused. You feel every bump, as he starts to slowly spread your lips, and get your slick before coming up to your clit for a quick spin. He remembers the lube and puts some on his fingers, “I’m, gonna open you up.” He tells you both.
Even though he’s a little awkward, his directness is turning you on more, and soon he makes contact to your skin with the cool jelly. Goosebumps raise over your flesh and he squeezes your hand with his own. His other presses into you, at first you yelp but hold his hand there so he can’t pull away.
Seeing you holding his arm, he pushes his fingers deeper in. your back arches with them and you squeeze his other hand, bringing it closer to you, you kiss his thumb in a loving gesture.
He could seriously cry right now. But he has to do this for you. He wants nothing more than to make you happy, than to make up for everything he let his brother get away with, with you. He doesn’t think he ever could, he knows he can’t. He isn’t delusional.
He curls them inside you, and finds a spot that makes you mewl and stays there, massaging it with his thumb and two fingers in a big soft circular motion.
You’re sighing it feels so nice, like an actual massage, as if this isn’t even sexual he makes you feel pure.
“I think… I’m ready,” You gasp, and hold his forearm now with both hands trying to pull him away and the second you tug he follows your lead.
“I love you,” He kisses your head, and lines himself up with you, he makes sure he’s holding your hand in one of his, he puts it up over your head against the grass. so he can hover over you. eyes level with your own.
“I love you—Tooo,” you let out a high pitched sigh as he pops his spongey tip into you and rolls a little. “Haaah ahhh” Again he massages that one spot this time with his hot cock, and it’s driving you mad! you can’t help but want to be fucked now. “Please A-Ace! F-fuck me!”
Your words almost awaken his beast but he has to keep that locked away. Not right now, maybe in the future, but not right now. He starts a slow pace, but it still isn’t enough for you.
“Ha-harder! please! Or faster! o-or both!”
He listens and jostles your whole body with one hard thrust all the way in, kissing your cervix. He looks you all over to make sure you’re okay but you’re in ecstasy, brows knitted, lip bitten, moaning… Waiting for more.
He gives it to you, pounding into you with a controlled vigor, he’s used to having to control himself, so this comes naturally to him, even without much experience.
He changes his pacing frequently to keep his own excitement down while yours rises.
Quicker and quicker!
and then a slow pound into you as deep as he can. Speeding back up and only pushing in about halfway, hitting that spot and so frequently~ “Ah~” If you’re not a squirter you are right now.
You’ve never had an earth shattering, universe opening, orgasm like this one before. Holding the hand of someone who really truly loves you. You come so hard for him.
“I’m so, so proud of you! You did so good! You’re— Youre amaz-ing!!” He comes so sweetly as he coos to you.
When he pulls out he takes your lips with his own. Then pounds into you until your both coming undone again and shaking, your legs are twitching so bad by the end that you can barley stand.
He carries you home that night a satisfied and happy man.

The boys confess their feelings!
Sam And Colby crew x male reader!
Warning: ghost hunting, gay/bisexual feelings,
Tumblr media
Colby:
Colby first realized he had feelings for you when you got SUPER scared during the conjouring house
When Amanda caught the little boy on the thermal, it freaked you to the point of almost tears and you immediately went to Colby for comfort.
As he held you his heart was skipping a beat and his face was beet red
It took maybe 6 months of Colby pondering in his feelings to come to the terms of him being bisexual.
He decided to confess his feelings as he couldn't hold them to himself anymore, no matter what it did to your guy's friendship.
So he invites you over to his apartment and makes you dinner and you two watch a movie.
You two have done this for each other before so you didn't think twice about it.
That was until during the movie, he paused it and turned to you with a serious expression.
"Y/n. I need to tell you something,"
You nod slowly.
He then spills every feeling he had for you for the last six months.
Your heart was racing and you were in slight shock for a moment.
Colby begins to panic. Shaking his head he stands "nevermind! Just forget it dude!"
"no!" He stops his embarrassed rant and turns to you
"I actually like you a lot Colby, I have for like...a year?"
He breaks into a happy laugh before hugging you tightly
You laugh too finally feeling a weight off of your shoulders
"so would it be okay if I kissed you?" Colby asks shyly as he giggles a bit
You didn't answer, you just leaned in and pressed your lips to his in a very happy yet gentle kiss.
Sam:
Sam first realized his feelings for you a little before him and Kat broke up.
He was very heartbroken but at the same time he wasn't performing correctly in the relationship because of his feelings for you.
You were by his side the entire time as he delt with the breakup and that only fueled the feelings he had for you.
He held these feelings for you in for roughly 8 months.
Until one night, he was drinking in his apartment and thinking about you.
In his drunken stupor he calls you up at roughly 1am
"Sam? Why are you calling me?" Your groggy voice caused his heart to skip
"Y/n!!" He slurred happily but that quickly resolved into rough sobs
You sit up in a panic. You could tell he had been drinking but you were still worried
He was unconsolable.
"Sam! Please just wait a minute! I'll be over in a minute! I promise!"
The ride to Sam's was a long agonizing 20 minutes.
When you got there the door was unlocked so you quickly made work of the lock and rushed in
Sam was sitting at the bottom of his stairs, hiccuping and sniffling softly
"Sam!" You knelt next to him as he looked up at you and once again his happiness was back
"Y/n!" He flung his arms around your neck and brought you in close
"I love you!" He cried loudly
Your heart skipped a beat and you chuckled pulling him up with one of his arms around your shoulder
"That's sweet but, you're wasted. I'd prefer to hear that when you're sober"
Sam frowned as he climbed the stairs with you "I-I meeean iitt"
You laid him in bed and tucked him in slightly.
"Tell me that sober then," you repeated laying in the bed next to him.
The next morning, you woke up far before your best friend did so you decide to make him breakfast for his hangover
You had just finished cooking when you heard the sound of rushing feet and then the classic sounds of someone's body getting rid of the alcohol consumed the night before.
Cringing you went upstairs, water bottle in hand and knocked on the door, opening it to find Sam with his head hung over the toilet
"Mornin'" you leaned agaisnt the door with a small smile.
"ugghhh..." Was his reply. Lifting his bead to look up at you
You then sat next to Sam on the floor and offered the water bottle.
"I meant it" he panted looking up at you
"what?"
"what I said last night. I've been in love with you for a few months..." He sniffled as tears came to his eyes
You smile "deadass?" "Deadass" he chuckled
"if you didnt just throw up, I'd kiss you."
Seth:
Seth knew he wasnt straight from a VERY young age.
Only the people he trusted closely knew of this.
When the two of you met in middle school, he told you after 3 years of knowing you.
You didnt mind, even telling him you are bisexual/gay yourself
The night of the confession happened during an investigation at a haunted hotel.
You and Seth had a room together and Sam and Colby roomed together.
The two of you always have had deep talks in the middle of the night when you can't sleep. And this was one of those nights
The talk went from the investigation and what happened. To your guy's beliefs. To life. To relationship issues.
Seth let it slip as he was half asleep by now
"ya know, I actually really like you," You turned to look at him from your bed and he was staring continuingly at the ceiling.
"wait like... you'd date me?" You sit up on your elbows watching him.
Seth was silent for a while before sighing softly "Yeah honestly"
You stood, moving to stand next to him causing him to look up at you from his laying position.
"Y/n?" He asked softly, scared he ruined a good friendship.
You said nothing. Reaching down to grab his chin to hold his head in place.
Leaning down you pressed your lips to his softly.
He froze before leaning up to deepen the kiss.
"WOAH!!" The two of you broke the kiss turning to see Colby rushing away from the open door, you had forgotten they have an extra key to your room.

hello im another fellow infiltrated but im going to call myself gossip girl because i like it more
there are 7 bt accounts that are more prominent: the one who lead the cult, the one who use the words nigga with everyone, the one who was a diehard buddie stan faking being ostark burner account on twt, the one who suggest eddie should’ve tried to kill himself to match ryan story, the one who told people to do not donate and then hoping for people being subjected to racism so ryan could be fired, the one who said that tommy should get main before ravi and karen because it makes more sense and the one who payed 200$ for the cameo in which lou talked about the evan headcanon and then convinced a journalist to write an article about this thing (later the article was delted)
basically they are buying likes and comments, they have multiple accounts and are divided in groups so from 8 to 10 am one of them spam the official account with pro bt shit and then after someone else is going to take their place so all the post are always spammed
also first they wanted lou to take the main role in swat (which now could be very possible since there are more open spots) but now they want him only in 911 because is character in swat isn’t gay so they would loose their mlm ship
Tumblr media
Hi, this one was a ride from start to finish. Holy shit. They have a schedule? Guys, we're really slacking here aoksasoaksasoaksok this is nuts.
I mean, it does look possible for him to get a bigger spot inswat considering the circumstances their season ended, but damn.

HAHAH SNOTLOU AU
Httyd au for snotlout and it’s basically an analysis of domestic abuse
In this snotlout has 3 siblings each going through abuse from there father and reacting in n diffrent ways
I love picking at people brains
I however do not like fixing my Grammer and spelling mistakes so like Goodluck reading this cause I typed this out at 2:40 in the morning
There is the eldest spikelout who is about 10 years older then snotlout, he’s kinda the disappointment even though he is the eldest, he grew tall and is well built but not built as desired more looking like his mother if she where a boy there his father. He was never able to live up to the expectations because he literally couldn’t and that developed into anger toward authority and elders, he’s kinda to anyone a little older then him and anyone his age and youger but when he’s interacting with older people and people above him, he’s disrespectful, rude, and abrasive. He’s not afraid of the consequences. He also has little self worth often time defending his siblings as he does not care for his fathers approval in the slightest, the only older person he’s ok with is his mother and even then it’s strained as he’s upset she never helped him. She’s kinda but he understandably holds a grudge so he’s vocal with her. With his two siblings he’s very caring, like I said often times taking blame, and blows for the others. He’s also kinda like a second parent as he had to actually raise them a little and occasionally comfort them.
The middle child is spearlout, who is in all cases the “perfect” build of a Jorgenson, except she’s a women, she’s takes all after her father, she’s a tall buff Viking lady. But she’s not a son, so while she never really was physically abused she still delt with emotion and physical neglect as well as verbal abuse from her father, she honestly lives a very unhappy life as she was never able to accomplish what she feels she was destined to do, she feels she can be so much more but her father when she turned 18 forced her into a arranged marriage with another high end family on berk and she has been his wife ever since, of course she can still prove her worth and she does but most of the time she’s put down for it, as it would be seen as unwomenly of her. Her relationship with her siblings are a little strained, she’s not unkind more resined from them, snotlout especially, as he gets her fathers attention and the chances she feels where ripped from her. She has everything to be exactly what her father wants except she just has a vag n stead of a dick so it projects into a lot of unintended disregard of him. Oh and also how she reacts to this is much like how people think of her she does not care for them, they don’t care about her so why should she them.
And finally snotlout my stupid guy, he takes after his father in looks but his personality and eyes is all his mother, he when he was a child was set to be exactly how his father wanted a Jorgenson, and up until he was 7-8 his father was a good dad, like a really good one. He howeve did witness his father being an awful fuckwad of a dad to his siblings, especially spikelout. So his fear of his dad began there. It continued to snowball when his dad finally decided he had to start training him at 8, and this is when his dad gets bad, pushing snotlout way past his limits continuously. Switching from praise to insults to him, claiming it’s for his won good. It all went down hill around httyd 1 where suddenly being a visous dragon killing Viking wasn’t really need and actually unliked, so snotlout went from top dog to struggling to keep up, his dad of course noticed this is also when he began to physically not meet Jorgenson standards with his height, snotlout is still fit but dudes small he’s like 5’4 5’3 small on the actual show. And his entire family is TALL like huge so that to spitlout of a huge disappointment and pushed snotlout harder called him insult after insult further fucking up his already rock bottom self esteem. But how he reacts to this is he NEEDs atthority figures to like him, he need praise and affirmination that he’s doing things right or he feels like he’s gonna die, his body reacts that way to cause in way of he was incorrect spitelout would be a bitch. So he faced a lot of physical and verbal abuse from his father and unlike spikelout grew to suck up to authority figures and in what he assumed was admiration to them was actually fear, while loving authority he’s terrified of them. And with people his age group and youger he’s snappy taking his fears and pain out on others, in this au he’s a bit better then cannon due to spikelout but it’s still bad.
Anyways this au goes into there relationship with eachother there parents and community, how it affects them physically and emotionally, how it affect there day to day lives, there relationships both romantic and platonic. This story goes into a lot of mental stuff and gives little snippets of there childhood between like actual plot of them speaking out about this and spitlout getting actually banished to outcast island. Then aftermath of that.
Oh also spearlout and snotlout have deep resentment of eachother, spearlout as snotlout has everything she wants and snotlout for her because somtimes snotlout wishes everyone wpuod leave him alone

Subnautica AU part 10
Tails POV
Warning: explosion
I gasp for air as sonic pulls me onto the pod, and I quickly look around making sure everyone was here. Lulu was over by the control panel fidgeting and she tried work with the solar batteries her hair frizzed, and I can tell she has been panicking about the news we got from the PDA.
Amy was making sure everything was strapped down and leaving out a few rations for lunch knowing we still had about half an hour left until in happens.
Knuckles was pacing mumbling to himself about how the aroura will be unfixable and unflyable.
I almost laughed since when did this type of things become so normal? No one is going into a major panic. No one is crying and chanting were all going to die. We're not running around like a bunch of headless chickens. Heck sonic is Over there humming as he talks with Lulu like we aren't in the blast radius of a giant radioactive ship.
I sigh and thank Amy for the food and water as I eat it slowly. I start to plan. I need a device. A device that can scan the radiation waves and explosion for a visable diagram. I grab the PDA system and sip on my water, and I snap it open and look at the wires and chips inside of the futuristic device. I feel Amy come and sit by me and I lean into her naturally used to cuddle pills on movie nights as I work on a small project.
"How long do you think we are going to be here?" Her voice soft and quiet. Her jade eye basically looking into my soul.
I frown but didn't lie "With hoe things are going? at least a year" I heard her breathe hitch.
"Well, umm mm it's not like we haven't delt with things like this before." She smiles "Do you remeber when sonic went missing into the book? We carried it around for about half a year and a good bit of that we were finding from Eggman knew robot. what are is called again? it was something stupid I know that. "
I laugh "I think it was something like the spoiled egg bot 2.0. I about died at the name, but chaos did it have fire power."
"Sometimes I wonder if the cave we hid in is still standing. We should revisit it when we get back home."
I smile tiredly "We should"
I finish fixing the PDA system to a visual graph read and smile "Lulu?" I call looking towards the wolf. She seemed calmer now where hair still a mess, but I guess that will happen without a hairbrush. I just hope mold doesn't start growing in our fur or hair.
"One minute left tails." Her voice soft and low and I nod climbing up and onto the top. The gang coming and sitting with me. I sit in front the reader reached out towards the ship. Lulus tail around my waist as she cuddles into knuckles behind her. Knuckle hugging her as he circles his arm around Amy, His leg locked ready to brace us if we are too close to the explosion. Amy was sitting behind me and locked arms with sonic, so he does fall into the water.
"Emergency: A quantum detonation has occurred in the Aurora's drive core. The reactor will reach a super critical state in T- 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 [repeated], 3 [repeated], 2 [repeated to fade], 1 [not said]-" The PDA states and the sky lit up. Metal pieces flying everywhere. I Sonic covers my ears at the sound, and I see Lulu cover her ears and head. The pod shakes the wave hitting hard pushing us further away. I feel knuckles hold everyone and force us back into the pod Bringing the PDA system with us.
It felt like hours before the waves stopped. But only about half an hour of us huddled in a corner, Sonic and Knuckles acting like a shield for us. After everything calmed down sonic was panicking as he checked me over. I swallow and hug him tightly. I can see Lulu patting my back and Amy holding onto knuckles. Something tells me that explosion did more damage than I predicted.

Speaking Hexadecimal
Fluently and Unambiguously
I previously proposed a way of saying hexadecimal numbers clearly and efficiently in English, but that was only good for situations where it was otherwise unambiguous that the numbers were in base-16, and it still had some room for getting "wires crossed" with base-10. Now I finally have a proposal I'm satisfied with to finish the job:
We first add distinct words for the six extra "digits":
A is alf, B is brav, C is char, D is delt, E is eck, and F is fost. These are based on the pronunciation of the first six NATO phonetic alphabet words: "alpha", "bravo", "charlie", "delta", "echo", and "foxtrot", except that: we simplify "foxt" to "fost" to make it easier to say, we change the spelling of "alph" to make it more accessible to people not familiar with English's "ph", and the spelling of "eck" makes it obvious that it's a K sound, not a CH sound.
Then we replace "-ty" with "-tex". "-tex" is meant to be evocative of "hex", but the "t" fits the pattern of English number words better:
So 20 in hexadecimal is twentex, not "twenty". 21 is twentex-one, 22 is twentex-two, and so on. 2A is twentex-alf, 2B is twentex-brav, and so on. 30 is thirtex, 31 is thirtex-one, [...], 3A is thirtex-alf, and so on. Fortex, fiftex, sixtex, seventex, eightex, ninetex, alftex, bravtex, chartex, deltex, ecktex, and fostex.
English has special words for 10-19, but we can just use the same regular pattern in hexadecimal for 10-1F as for 20-FF. So 10 is ontex. It's "ontex" and not "onetex" to match the speed and distinctiveness that we get with twenty, thirty, forty, and fifty having slightly different pronunciations and spellings versus two, three, four, and five. 11 is ontex-one, 12 is ontex-two, 13 is ontex-three, and so on.
100 is "hunhex". This continues the mnemonic pattern - English number word, with a hexadecimal-hinting ending. 101 is "one hunhex and one," or just "hunhex and one" for short, just like we say decimal hundreds. 201 is "two hunhex and one", 2D4 is "two hunhex and deltex-four", and so on, all the way up to FFF - "fost hunhex and fostex-fost".
Incidentally, the modern English quirk of saying a number like 2463 as "twenty-four (hundred), sixty-three" instead of "two-thousand, four-hundred, and sixty-three" works really well for hexadecimal numbers: for example, 1AD4 is often written as 1A D4, and can be read as "ontex-alf (hunhex), deltex-four".
In fact, unlike decimal, in hexadecimal it is far more natural and useful, especially given modern technology, to do groups of two. So we don't even bother with another irregular word like "thousand" - instead, we just go directly to using the same Latin prefixes that large numbers in English use (billion, trillion, quadrillion, and so on), for multiples of two more hex digits:
So 10000 is a bihex, 1000000 is a trihex, 100000000 is a quadrihex, 10000000000 is a quintihex, 1000000000000 is a sextihex, 100000000000000 is a septihex, 10000000000000000 is an octohex, and so on. Technical people will appreciate that we're basically counting bytes here, and that a hunhex is one larger than the maximum value in a 1-byte unsigned integer - ditto bihex for 2 bytes, quadrihex for 4 bytes, octohex for 8 bytes, and so on.
