#don't look at the 2nd top left it's a monster

[vhalesa]

Perspective exercise but with snoms

[lunarianebula872]

just a heads up there will be blood in the 2nd image because this is how C!Zack encounters another version of a Cloud.

Context for this Cloud is that he once was effected by Jenova however Gaia went back in time and due to some events Cloud was freed from Jenova's control, Cloud remembers the events along with his four SOLDIER first boyfriends [and since this takes Cloud back before he joins Shinra and before he's even enhanced so it ment that Cloud can't do any damage] Sephiroth, Angeal, Genesis, and Zack remember as well and go out of their way to get Cloud in secret in a quote on quote "SOLDIER recruit" thing which works though with the fears of Cloud falling into what happened before it causes some issues where the four end up putting Cloud under a type of house arrest

Cloud during this point just feels he deserves it however he does notice that his boyfriends fear him more then show that they love him and on top of him doubting himself more he feels like he doesn't belong and that he ruined his relationships with them [with a tracker that's used he's only allowed access to his room and the attached bathroom only], Angeal makes sure Cloud is fed but overtime notices the lack of food Cloud intakes and the more Cloud sleeps [Cloud sleeps on the floor as he feels he doesn't deserve the bed which makes whoever found him sleeping on the floor has to put him in bed] Angeal becomes concerned since Cloud isn't eating and is sleeping more often which makes him check to see if Cloud is sick and to see if Cloud will intake soup [which he doesn't touch], Angeal grows more and more concerned as Cloud suddenly stops eating entirely and starves himself

Angeal has to explain to the others and they beg/coax Cloud to eat which works somewhat, after some time Zack is left taking care of Cloud and decides to see if Cloud would play Chocobo Racers with him like old times before the events that made Cloud go mad happened but all Cloud does is stare off into space as Zack noticed Cloud sat in a corner all day and doesn't move at all from said location

Zack does talk to Cloud which makes him warm up a little again to Cloud but soon notices Cloud looked ready to cry however before Zack could say anything Cloud cries and the only things he repeats is "I'm sorry" and that he's a "monster who doesn't deserve anything" Zack is quickly taken aback by this and in his puppy ways hugs Cloud tightly to comfort Cloud and try to reassure him, Zack manages overtime to calm Cloud down but knows he needs to inform the others about the meltdown

Once the others are informed of the meltdown and how poorly Cloud views himself is when Sephiroth and Genesis [when they don't have missions] go to check on Cloud and they both see what Zack see and also come across the apologizes and self depreciating thoughts roll out of Cloud which promptly makes them feel bad about what's going on however they can't get a therapist to aid them without drawing attention so they all take turns checking in on Cloud who still needs to be bribed to eat and to give a small confidence boost [the confidence boost thing doesn't work]

Overtime Cloud just stops talking and everything all together like he's stuck in his own head which worries his four SOLDIER boyfriends and they even feel a distance from Cloud this prompts them to try and get Cloud to not be stuck in his head and to eat food though this is where they notice that Cloud is lacking sleep while they think nightmares and the trauma that happened are the cause and try their best to help in any way they can

Cloud soon here's a female voice that doesn't sound like Gaia or Jenova speak to him and he finds what looks like a summon but in truth wasn't as it messed with Cloud's head and makes him leave with the her in the middle of the night and when the SOLDIERs find out are in a panic and know they need to look for him, Sephiroth uses the tracker to follow Cloud which the others follow as well

When the monster thought she and Cloud are alone she shows her true self and goes into manipulation and feeding into the already horrible thoughts Cloud is already facing which are picked up when Sephiroth uses the tracker built in mic which is a great concern, Zack soon enough manages to get the thought of maybe Cloud was manipulated and tricked before by Hojo and Jenova [basically who they fought wasn't Cloud but the shell used as a puppet/doll for Jenova] as he states what he thinks might have happened they realize that Cloud is a victim and they are hit with guilt for not helping Cloud sooner

Cloud before he can be used again is when the SOLDIERs step in to protect Cloud and due to their fear they forgotten to show that they care and love Cloud deeply which they also apologize for this in turn causes Cloud to have another meltdown and him saying he doesn't deserve them which they shut that down quickly by saying he does deserve them and that they should have done something sooner about it which they take the tracker off Cloud and now allowed him to walk around the apartment and not just his room and the bathroom attached to it

The monster noticing this is angered and forcibly pushes them away when Cloud starts to get a small amount of hope back and traps Cloud against it which Cloud cries out for his boyfriends which they try to defeat the monster and get Cloud back

While the fight is going on C!Zack comes into the world after figuring out which dimension was causing such a strong saddened Cloud energy to run into the fight in which the four are trying to save Cloud which C!Zack tries to coax Cloud to come to him but it also causes the monster to even target C!Zack who immediately notices the monster keeping Cloud trapped and trying to feed him lies about the others which they deny and C!Zack is pissed and attacks the monster head on.

Overtime C!Zack manages to rescue Cloud but is not in the best of moods and promptly states that Cloud is coming with him to have some help coping with his trauma better which the other four saddened but understand though they do manage to ask C!Zack if they could meet with Cloud every now and then which C!Zack states [as he bandages Cloud] they could when Cloud is a bit more stable and if he wants to see them

Cloud is surprised by how C!Zack hugs him tightly and almost cries again which C!Zack notices quickly and tries to calm himself down which also meant he tries not to choke the poor Cloud and also gives Cloud comfort as well before taking Cloud for a vaycay

As time goes on Cloud does allow his boyfriends to come and hang out though with C!Zack now calmer has mentioned to said boyfriends that when they come visit they will do so when they get a week off work for vaycays themselves which thanks to SC!Cloud's invention they can communicate which helps to know said moments happen and they spend time with Cloud who starts to become like his normal happy self even before Hojo and Jenova's bs which shows through the pure laughs, snorts, and giggles that come from Cloud.

Okay this is long but I also wanted to practice an anime ish style for these and to flesh put a story idea that can be used if needed [I get severe writers block and when I try to write a story my brain just goes "what was I going to write again?"] So along with that and me needing to seriously practice writing again I'll be writing it by hand and when it comes down to it also sharing what I have here

@aimeelouart I keep making ideas that you can use in your stories if you so like I'm a-ok with you using the ideas I throw out here just wanted to let you know.

*please note that I haven't written a story since like 2016-17 and am completely rusty and will need plenty of pointers and constructive criticism as I can*

This is where I'll leave this off as I have to go shopping in like 4-5 hours from now and yes it is 3:45am and the store I'm going to opens at 9am so I'm gonna be running on 0% sleep as I shop so I'll probably not look at replies right away here.

Anyways enjoy the concept and the art.

📚 Beautiful Books part 7.1: The Witcher Series by Andrzej Sapkowski 📚

Well my lovelies, I finally received the last book of The Witcher series, today! I'm so happy I've finally completed my collection, they are so gorgeous. I'm in love with them. So for this Beautiful Books review, I'm going to talk about all 8 of them in a 3 part post, since I can't add more than 30 pictures per posts. So get yourself some tea and crumpets because, this might be long lol.

⚠️Note that there will be some spoilers from either the books, series or games so, read at your own risk.⚠️

As you might know from a previous post, I got the 1st 7 books for my birthday from my dad, and the last one today like I already said, and they are published by Orbit.

1) The Last Wish:

The sleeve is a very vibrant red, and we can see Geralt's silhouette on it. Probably my favourite cover art out of all of them.

The back of the sleeve is the same as the front, but with a quote. "Not everything monstrous-looking is evil. Not everything fair is good. And in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth."

The side of the sleeve has the cover art at the very top, with white and red lettering on a black background. (Yes, I took the picture upside down, sorry lol.)

Now, let's talk about the cover without the sleeve. I like the simplicity of the covers, making them elegant. On the left, is the same red from the sleeve and then we have a black background with another quote, written in a shiny red as well. "People like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves." - Geralt of Rivia

The spine is red with the title, also written in shiny red, which I couldn’t see for shit, seeing as I'm colour blind. XD But do not worry, with the light shining on it, I see it very well lol.

And the back is just black with the red of the spine. Simple, but I like it.

The end paper is the same bright red and you see these different drawings of characters, which I really love.

Inside, we can find some illustrations that go along with the story. I really love the attention to details and the vibrant colors. I really make the drawings pop out.

The text is a pretty decent size, which is just perfect for my shitty eyes lol. The title of the book is at the top of every 2nd page, written in red, with a total of 326 pages.

My favourite part of this book is the cover art on the sleeve. I don't know why, I'm just more drawn to it.

Fun fact about The Witcher: Geralt of Rivia isn’t actually from Rivia, but from a place named Kaedwen. A far less reputable region. The games and the books say that he chose Rivia as his birthplace to make himself appear more "prestigious" to his clients, as the Queen is also from Rivia. ❤️

2) Sword of Destiny:

The sleeve of this one we can see the beautiful Yennefer of Vengerberg on a purple background. My second favourite cover art, since Yennifer's my boo lol. 😍

The back, again, is the same as the front, but with a quote. "The sword of destiny has two blades. You are one of them. But what is the other. White Wolf?"

The side of the sleeve has the cover art at the very top (or bottom), with white and blue lettering on a black background. (It looks upside down, but I took the picture like this to better see the title.)

The cover without the sleeve, like the 1st one, is simple. On the left, is a blue spine and a black background with another quote, written in a shiny blue as well. "What is truth? The negation of lies? Or the Statement of a fact? And if the fact is a lie. What then is the truth?" - Yennefer of Vengerberg

The spine is blue with the title, also written in shiny blue, which again, I couldn’t see for shit, unless under a light lol.

And the back is black with the blue of the spine.

The end paper is a bright blue and has similar designs like the 1st book, with drawings of characters, which again, really love.

Inside, there's some illustrations that go along with the story. I love the attention to details and the small glimpse of blue in the black and white drawings. The 2nd illustration I especially love, since it's one of the 2 warrior belles that we see in the series. I am madly in love with them both lol. They are both just so damn gorgeous. 🥴

The text is the same size as in the previous book, with the title of the book at the top of every 2nd page written in blue, with a total of 402 pages.

My favourite part of this book is also the cover art on the sleeve. Yennefer is just so beautiful.

Fun fact about Andrzej Sapkowski: Andrzej wrote the first Witcher story to his son Krzysztof. 💙

3) Blood of Elves:

On the sleeve, we can see what looks to be knights (or the Witchers), walking outside of a castle. Maybe Kaer Morhen? I love how the sun shines on the mountains on the back.

The back, same as the front with a quote. "She is the Flame, the White Flame which will set light to the world. She is the Elder Blood, Hen Ichaer. The blood of elves. The seed which will not sprout but burst into flame."

The side of the sleeve has a close up of the cover art at the very top (or bottom), with white and black lettering on an orange background.

On the left of the cover without the sleeve, is an orange spine and a black background with another quote, written in a shiny orange as well. "I'll carry on killing monsters in the ruins of this world until some monster kills me. That is my fate, my reason, my life and my attitude to the world. And it is not what I chose. It was chosen for me." - Geralt of Rivia

The spine is orange with the title, written in shiny orange as well.

And the back is black with the orange of the spine.

The end paper is a beautiful map of The Witcher universe, with tints of orange for the details. And holy mother of God do I love it!

Inside, we can find a full map of The Witcher universe, but in black and white this time. From Cintra to Vengerberg, from Nilfgaard to Kaer Morhen, we have it all. There's unfortunately no other illustrations.

The text is the same size as in the previous books, with the title at the top of every 2nd page written in black this time, with a total of 357 pages.

My favourite part of this book is the endpaper. I love maps of fantasy universes. It's so cool to see where the story is taking place.

Fun fact about The Witcher: In season 2, the first Roach (because Geralt calls all of his horses Roach) of the show dies after a chernobog attacks her. Henry Cavill wanted a more heartfelt scene, so he rewrote it and used lines from the 2nd book of the series, Sword of Destiny. 🧡

Meg's Game of Tales: Tale 15

*Familiar Characters are NEVER mine! The original story of "Rapunzel" was written by The Brothers Grimm.*

Warnings: Rapunzel AU, angst-ish, a little fluff

Pairings: Prince!Jaime Lannister x fem!reader

This hunt was not going as planned. Not at all. Not only had Jaime not caught anything, but he'd gotten hurt in the process. It just wasn't a good day. The only thing Jaime was looking forward to now was getting home, getting clean, and collapsing in bed. That was the thought that kept him pressing forward. But then? He heard it. A voice calling out.

"Y/N! Y/N! Let down your hair!" Jaime followed the sound of the voice and came upon a tower. At the bottom of a tower was an older looking woman, but that wasn't what caught Jaime's attention. it was what the old woman was climbing. It wasn't a ladder or a rope. No. It was…hair?! Jaime's gaze followed the hair up and, as expected it was attached to the head of a woman. A beautiful woman. Well, from what he could see from a distance anyway.

How had Jaime not seen this tower before? He hunted in these woods all the time. Jaime watched until the two figures disappeared from view. Jaime had always been the curious sort of man, so the need to know more welled up in his chest and it took everything in him to stay away from the tower. If the younger woman was trapped up there, it wasn't safe for him to approach while the older woman was there. So, he left, determined to come back the next day when hopefully, the younger woman would be alone and safe.

The next day, Jaime was out early, heading toward the tower. He got there quickly, hiding in the bushes until the older woman was gone. As soon as she was out of sight, Jaime ran up and called out the same phrase he'd heard her call out the day before. "Y/N! Y/N! Let down your hair!" It took a moment, but soon the voluminous length of hair came cascading out of the window of the tower.

Wasting no time, Jaime began to climb. His arms and legs burned with the effort, but his curiosity was piqued and he couldn't go back now. He had to meet the woman at the top of the tower. Who was she? Why was she there? Would she ever want to leave? Was the old woman kind to her? All these questions fueled Jaime's climb until he finally made it to the top and swung into the window.

"W-Who are you?" Jaime glanced up to see a pair of beautiful eyes staring back at him in fear and wonder. You were more beautiful up close. "I think the better question is who are you and why are you in this tower?" You arched a brow. "That's two questions. And you're the one who climbed into MY home. Now, who are you?" Jaime held his hands up in gesture of surrender.

"Jaime. My name is Jaime. I-I saw your tower yesterday and heard the old woman call out to you. I had to know more." You let out a scoff and shook your head. "Mother says the outside world is cruel and vicious. The tower keeps me safe" Jaime nodded. "She's right about that. But I mean you no harm. I swear." You regarded him with distrust. "I don't think I believe you." Jaime chuckled. You were smart. "Perhaps I could sit with you a while? We can talk and maybe then you'll trust me." After a moment of thought, you nodded slowly in agreement.

*time skip*

"Y/N! Let down your hair!" Jaime called out. He'd been coming to see you every day for weeks now. At one point, he'd nearly been caught by your mother. That day you'd been frightened and told him to stay away. He hadn't of course, but you were slowly growing to trust him. It was his favorite part of the day, getting to see you.

Despite being locked up in a door less tower your entire life, you were very intelligent. You could sniff out a lie like a bloodhound. Jaime couldn't hide the fact that he was a prince from you for very long. You were also very sweet, but had a temper that Jaime admired. You rarely showed it, but when you did, you could scare the most fierce creatures. The only thing that bothered Jaime, truly bothered him really, was that you seemed content to never leave your tower. You wanted adventure, but you didn't want to leave your mother.

As Jaime climbed your hair once more, he went through his argument in his head. He was going to try and get you to talk to your mother about leaving the tower for good. It couldn't be healthy being locked away all the time, could it? Jaime didn't expect what was going to happen.

"Hello, Y/N!" Jaime greeted as he climbed in the window. He looked up only to be met with the face of your mother. She looked livid. "Who are you?! How did you find this place?! Did he send you?!" Jaime glanced at you in confusion. "He? Who are you speaking of?" Your mother relaxed a little, but only a little.

"Does anyone know you're here?" she asked and Jaime shook his head. She smiled. "Good. Then no one will know what I'm going to do to you." A crack of lightening sounded over heard, causing Jaime's brows to furrow. It had been sunny when he climbed in a moment before. He glanced out the window to see rows and rows of thorns springing up from the ground.

"MOTHER NO!" you cried. Jaime spun around to see that your mother was about to push him from the window. "Please, Mother, don't! Jaime is my friend. I-I think I love him." Your mother whirled around and Jaime's eyes widened. "Do you even know him?" You nodded sheepishly. "He's been coming every day for many weeks now. I'm sorry I did not tell you. I didn't want to lose him. Or you."

Your mother approached you. "Y/N, darling, how can you trust him? I've told the outside world is a horrible place. I'm the only one who can protect you." Jaime's brows came together as he processed what was being said. "Protect her from what? Surely there can't be an actual threat on the life of someone so kind and lovable. Can there?" Your mother let out a sigh.

"I suppose there's no harm in telling you now. I'm not your real mother, Y/N. Your real mother charged me with caring and protecting you when you were only a child. I was to keep you safe until she reached out to me. But then she died and the threat to you grew worse."

"I ask again, threat from what?" Jaime asked. He wasn't one to draw out stories longer than necessary. That was more Tyrion's expertise. The woman rolled her eyes, but continued on, "The threat from Lord Gregor Clegane," she stated before turning back to you, "Your brother."

"M-My brother?" She nodded. "I know Gregor. He's a monster," Jaime stated, "Your mother was right to send you away. I'd forgotten there was a third sibling. After Gregor held Sandor's face over the fire, the third child was said to have disappeared. Some said she was murdered by Gregor for trying to tell people the truth about what happened instead of the story the late Lord Clegane told."

You looked between Jaime and the woman you knew as your mother in disbelief. "I'm a lady? Like…a trueborn lady?" They both nodded. "That's why I've kept you here. For your own good." You nodded, but Jaime wasn't having it anymore. You had said you thought you loved him. He wasn't sure anything would come of that love if you were stuck in the tower for the rest of your life or Gregor's.

"She doesn't have to stay in the tower. It's true Gregor is still alive, but I doubt he would recognize either of you. And even if he did, you would be safe. Your brother Sandor is still alive as well. He lives in the castle as part of the guard. You would be protected and safe anywhere you went. I swear it."

Your mother immediately began to protest while your eyes were glued to Jaime's again. For a moment, the two of you stared at each other while your mother droned on in the background. After a bit, you spoke again. "No, Mother. I won't stay here," you said, turning to her and taking her hands in yours, "I love you. Very much. I know you want to protect me, but I need to be out of this tower to discover this new part of who I am and if Jaime says he can keep me safe, I trust him. He hasn't broke a promise to me yet. Please, Mother. Let's leave this place together."

The older woman turned to Jaime and in a stern voice asked, "Can you keep your promise? Will you keep her safe?" Jaime nodded without hesitation. While he wasn't sure if he loved you romantically, he did have a love for you. He always protected those he loved. She stared into his eyes the same way you always did when you were trying to figure out if he was lying or not.

"Very well. You have my blessing. I will return to my former cottage, but you two will go to the castle and enjoy life together. If you ever have need of me, you will know where to find me." With that, she placed a kiss to your forehead and nodded to Jaime. She waved her hand to cause the thorns to disappear.

Using your hair, she left the tower to return to her cottage. Jaime followed her down and waited for you at the bottom. You gripped tight to the hair that was going to be your way to freedom. Taking a deep breath, you began lowering yourself from the tower for the first and only time, ready to start a new adventure.

(a/n: That's our 15th tale! Only 3 more to go, plus 2nd parts for "A Hound-Shaped Helm" and "Three Days".)

我的世界守则 The Rules of My World: An Analysis

I came across this video while browsing Weibo last night. It was taken during Yibo's rehearsal for his 'The Rules of My World' performance. I've listened to the song countless times and I like it, the rhythm and all, and the dance. But as with many rap music, I don't pay attention to the lyrics. I suddenly realised I don't really know what the song is talking about, save for the few phrases that stood out. That sparked my interest and inspired today's post. I had previously done some analysis of Zhan's songs, so it's Yibo's turn.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional translator or lyricist. And obviously I'm not Yibo nor do I know him personally, so I can't say for sure what the song is really about. The following analysis is purely based on my personal interpretation. It has CPN components. Please skip if you don't believe that BJYXSZD.

'The Rules of My World' is the 2nd song that Yibo penned the lyrics to himself. The fact that he wrote the lyrics is significant and makes the song worth analysing. 2019's 'Wu Gan' was more 'inward-looking'; about Yibo expressing his own thoughts on navigating the entertainment industry. To me, 'The Rules of My World' is him making a statement, a stand, at the same time, he's sending a message to those he cares about - GG and his (real) fans. Yibo released this song on 30 Dec 2020. The timing is interesting cos it like he's summing up his sentiments based on the events that took place during the year. To outsiders, 2020 was a good year for Yibo. He had many endorsements, projects, high exposure, his commercial value rose. But in CPN reality, 2020 was terrible for so many reasons. GG's incident, him being overworked, crazy fan wars and antis etc etc..anyone who cares about Yibo would be delusional to think he had it good last year.

欢迎你们来加入我的世界 (You're welcome to join my world)

入场券上面有正义的光源 (There's a light of justice on the admission ticket)

DD is giving fans an open invitation to enter his world, to understand him as a person and not just an idol. And he also hopes that his world can bring some light to the fans' world, to bring some positivity, encouragement and guidance to them.

此生面对严厉又仁慈的一切 (In this life we'll face harshness but also kindness)

轻松一点，我们一起度过黑夜 (Just relax, together we'll overcome darkness)

In the entertainment world (or life in general), there will be ups and downs, criticisms and compliments. Regardless of what may come, we can overcome any challenges together. Darkness here could also refer to the antis who seem determined to bring GGDD down. This could be a message to fans - to tell them that they don't always have to rush to defend him, and they don't need to retaliate (aka fan wars). It could also be a message to GG, to make a stand of solidarity and to reassure GG that DD will face any challenges alongside him.

新的征途 (A new journey)

愚蠢的，不好相处 (These fools, they aren't easy to get along with)

愚蠢的，不会打住 (These fools, they won't stop)

但衬托明天更耀眼的路 (But they will set off a brighter path for tomorrow)

It was said that DD matured considerably after the 2*7 incident. Took up more responsibility, became more focused on his career and mindful of future advancements etc. Started to take on more serious acting projects and to shift his career trajectory towards something more sustainable and less 'idol'. The new journey could be a reference to this new path. The fools - the antis, those against GGDD - may have caused damage but their actions have also sparked off DD's desire to do better and to find his footing in the entertainment industry. He now has a clearer view of what he wants, the path he wants to take.

我是我的样子 (This is how I am)

我生来就固执 (I was born stubborn)

讲自己的故事 (I'll tell my own story)

活独特的气质 (Living my unique self)

Follow me, 找到自己的价值 (Follow me, find your own value)

不去迎合别人活 才会觉得有意思 (Life is interesting if you don't cater to others)

我的世界不退让 (It's my world I won't give in)

我的世界不退让 (It's my world I won't give in)

Here, DD is being assertive. This is me, I follow my own rules, I'll make my own decisions, I'll forge my own path, I won't be influenced, I won't give up on my beliefs. So antis, capitalists etc can f*ck off.

It could also be seen as an advice to his fans - to follow his lead and live their own lives. This is also something that GG has repeatedly said to fans - to focus on their own lives, personal relationships, studies, careers etc. Don't devote so much time on chasing idols, online fan wars etc.

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

乐观地，走向前 (Just move forward with optimism)

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

无所谓，多危险 (Doesn't matter how dangerous it is)

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

这是我的世界 (This is my world)

我世界的守则，不许你诡辩 (These are the rules of my world, I won't allow any sophistry)

I see this as DD's words of encouragement, to himself and to GG. Despite all the challenges and hardship, darkness will pass and the sun will come out eventually. And it's shining brightly, there is hope left in this world, there's is much to look forward to. So don't fear, be brave and forge ahead.

Sophistry: the use of clever but false arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving

Poor DD is always hit with industry rumours, about him dating his co-stars etc. Last year, someone even made a false police report against him. Just look at the number of statements his company had to put out. There have also always been ongoing rumours about rivalry between GGDD, tales of backstabbing etc, especially in 2020 at the height of the incident. DD is saying that this is his life, his world. No one knows better than the both of them. So to those who don't know better but continue to spew nonsense about his life and relationships and spread hate, know that I don't care about your antics, they don't hurt me but I won't tolerate them as well.

在我世界行走 (Walking in my world)

什么人生主题你透露 (What kind of life theme do you envisage)

是胆大勇猛所向披靡 (Is it to be bold, courageous and invincible)

或胆小逃避钻进壳里 (Or to be timid and escape into your shell)

喧闹倾诉众人party (Is it to pour out your troubles at a rowdy party)

寂寞相思不停地哭泣 (Or to cry silently non-stop out of loneliness and love-sickness)

都欢迎你来我这里 (All are welcome)

只要跟从自己的内心 (So long as you follow your heart)

跟限制和噪音 说一声 bang bang (I'll say 'Bang Bang' to restriction and noises)

怪兽都退散 (Monsters, be gone)

What kind of person am I in your eyes? The cool guy or soft sweet babie Yibo? Here, DD is acknowledging that the public has many different perceptions of him, and fans love different personas of him and he's ok with that. But if you love him, then let him be. Don't try to restrict him, don't quarrel or force him into a certain mould of your preference. He won't hesitate to shoot the haters (monsters) down.

迈出轻盈的步伐 (Take a light step forward)

一声令下 (With a single command)

来宣布 告别孤勇 (To announce a farewell to having to fight alone)

On this new path, with a new-found realisation of what he wants, DD is clear of what he wants to achieve and he is no longer burdened by fear, uncertainties etc. Both GGDD now have each other by their sides, they share a common purpose as they navigate the intricacies of the entertainment industry together and work their way to the top. And I think this is something that we're seeing more in the fandom since end 2020 - GGDD seemingly becoming more bold in their actions and messages they put out (silent or otherwise).

想要做盘旋的龙 (Wanna be a hovering dragon)

还想做懒散的虫 (Or a lazy worm)

别打扰我 走开 没空 (Don't bother me, go away, I have no time for that)

In public, DD is that proud and confident king. He's not a pushover. But behind the cameras, he just wants to chill and relax (and play games). Please don't bother me, give me some privacy to lead my own life, don't tell me what I can or cannot do.

Cue DD's message. He meant it.

Follow me, 找到自己的价值 (Follow me, find your own value)

不去迎合别人活 才会觉得有意思 (Life is interesting if you don't cater to others)

我们永远不退让 (We will never give in)

我们永远不退让 (We will never give in)

This is a repetition of the earlier verse but what has changed is the last 2 lines. From <It's my world I won't give in>, DD now says <We will never give in>. This was actually the first thing that sparked off my CPN, and hinted to me that this song concerns GG in some ways. Who's We? We all know how GGDD almost always use the word 'we' in their CQL promo interviews and bts, as though they come as a package and all views represent both of them as a entity. This also echoes the earlier sentiments - both of them, after the 2020 incident, have developed a steely resolve. They won't let the antis or challenges or societal views hold them back anymore. Their world, their rules. They will fight for their rights and what they believe in, and they are determined to reach their goals.

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

乐观地 走向前 (Just move forward with optimism)

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

无所谓 多危险 (Doesn't matter how dangerous it is)

阳光耀眼 (The sun is dazzling)

这是我的世界 (This is my world)

我们的世界不会被改变 (Our world will never be changed)

Again, similar to the above 'we' example. From this part of the song onwards, DD is referring to them both. The last line could also be viewed as an affirmation of GGDD's commitment to each other. Whatever is it, our relationship will not change. We will go through it all together.

Don‘t stop, get it, get it

Let me see you work up on it

Don’t stop, get it, get it

Let me see you all up on it

Let me see you work up on it

Don‘t stop, get it, get it

Don't stop

Hey

I interpret this as DD's words of encouragement to GG. Like don't stop fighting, continue to work hard towards your (our) goals. Go for it, you can do it!

在我的世界 (In my world)

本能很关键 (Instinct is the key)

坚持自己 (Stay true to yourself)

就是你们的世界 (It is your world)

DD's parting words to fans: to stay true to oneself, to build and enrich your own worlds, to fight for your goals, like how he is trying.

Well, I had fun working on this. Maybe I'll do Wu Gan another time. Reminded me of literature class during my schooling days, although I never did Chinese literature back then. Feel free to share your thoughts on the song with me. =D

Tokyo ghoul x Twisted wonderland

Rook hunt x ghoul reader

"Y/n senpai, I've noticed something. I never see you eat anything, but drown in coffee. Why is that?" Epel asked his 2nd year senior.

"Well, I'm dieting and I'm trying to hold back on some things, and I really like Coffee," Y/n smiled as they took a sip of their hot coffee.

"How do you even get away with that with Vil?!" Epel gasped.

"What Vil doesn't know can't hurt him. Plus he should worry about those who actually want his help," Y/n said as they took another sip of coffee.

"Evening my Roi de la nuit," Rook greeted as he sat next to Y/n suddenly, as he pulled them close by the waist.

"Ughh, Hello Rook," Y/n sighed.

"Rook senpai, g-good Evening. I didn't know you were very friendly with Y/n senpai," Epel said.

"A little too friendly," Y/n said as they tried to move away from Rook.

"Oh, why must you be so cruel, my Roi de la nuit?" Rook said dramatically.

But Rook had an Iron hold on Y/n's waist, so Y/n sat as they watched Rook and Epel finish up their dinner. As they sat in the Dorms dinning area when Vil entered the room, looking for Epel. As he scanned the room his eyes landed on Y/n, he glared at them as he quickly walked in and dragged Epel away.

"I've over stayed my social welcome, I'm going back to my room," Y/n sighed as they stood up, and headed down the hall to the Sleeping quarters.

As they felt Rook could hear the quiet rumbles of Y/n' s stomach. In Y/n' s room they tossed in pain as their Stomach grumbled and grained for a proper meal, just some Human flesh. Yet that though sickened them as they tried to ignore the pain, putting off the hunt for as long as possible.

Rook hummed to himself as he held a pheasant he hunted by his side. Some off the new Dorm members were slightly disgusted by the animal carcass Rook was bringing into the Dorm. While the Older ones didn't  even bat and eyelash. As Rook continued down the hall with his signature smile, he was stopped as he passed a miffed Vil.

"Still feeding that monster," Vil glared at the dead animal.

"What are you talking about?" Rook asked innocently, not even turning to Vil.

" Don't play Coy with me, I know what that "friend" of yours really is," Vil growled, " Their a ghoul."

"Vil, don't  make such baseless accusations," Rook said.

"I've read about them once, they are dangerous beasts that feed on humans and beastmen alike. They were hunted down all over the kingdoms, and know days only remain in The Afterglow Savanna," Vil said.

"So knowledgeable as ever, beautiful Vil," Rook smiled, still not turning to look at him.

"Is it true that people in the Afterglow hunt those creatures for sport, and as a right of passage for warriors?" Vil asked.

"Umm, yes. Your point?" Rook asked as his grip tightened.

"Why haven't you gotten rid of them, and instead put all our Dormmates and school in danger?" Vil asked.

"They aren't-"

"They need to feed on human flesh, and they haven't eaten in a long while. Its only a matter of time before they snap and eat someone. Or is the lives of a few people don't matter," Vil glared.

"That won't happen, well good night Vil," Rook said through a strained smile.

He continued on his way till he reached Y/n's  room, and quickly letting himself in. Only to see Y/n curled on their bed holding their stomach in pain.

"Roi de la nuit ! Hold on I'm here. With food too," Rook smiled as he tried to comfort Y/n.

Y/n's eyes turned black with red irises as they devoured the pheasant in an instant. But it did little to make them feel better, as their Stomach demanded its main sustenance.

"Rook, you need to leave, Now!" Y/n begged.

"You need proper food, let me help," Rook offered.

"No, I don't  want to hurt anyone," Y/n sobbed.

"I know, but this isn't the first time, and I know it needs to be done," Rook said as he revealed his left shoulder.

It was covered in past bit marks. Y/n slowly turned to see Rook offering his shoulder, but before they could think their body moved on it's own. Y/n quickly bit down on Rook's shoulder, their teeth sinking into the skin and drawing blood. Rook winced at the pain, but kept composure as he stroked Y/n's hair gently and hold them close.

"Wake up Y/n, you are stronger than this," he whispered lovingly.

Y/n's body froze as they slowly took control as tears slowly ran down heir cheeks.

______

"You shouldn't have done that," Y/n sniffled as they wrapped Rook's bitten shoulder.

"Well know your hunger has been settled for a little while. So I don't mind," Rook winced.

"Your insane you know that," Y/n sighed.

Rook slowly leaned toward and his lover and gently kissed their cheek.

"I guess I am Insensé for you, my Roi de la nuit," Rook smiled as he pulled them down to lay next to him.

As the two laid is silence, a question slowly came to the front of Y/n's mind.

"Why are you even protecting me? Like Vil said, I am a monster," Y/n mumbled into Rooks chest.

Rook remained silent for awhile as he gently held Y/n' s hand.

"Remember when we first meet?" Rook asked, " Back in the After Savanna."

"Yeah, we were about 11," Y/n said.

"Around that time my father wanted to prove his skills and be granted the title of master hunter. In order to get that was to hunt down a Ghoul. To hunt down our predator, and like a Garçon insensé I followed him out in the danger zone," Rook sighed.

"Oh yeah, I remember. The lone boy who only had his bow and arrows by his side," Y/n chuckled slightly.

"You spared me that day, you could have killed me. But you protected me from the others," Rook said.

"I still attacked you and bit you. I could have killed you," Y/n argued.

__________

A young Rook Hunt stared up in horror at the young figure on top of him. They looked slightly younger than himself, but he couldn't  be sure with the mask covering his attackers face.

All he could see was the Red crimson irises staring down at him through the Eye holes of the mask. Rook tried to wrestle the young ghoul off him, but red tendrils sprouted from their back to hold him down.

"I'm so sorry," they whispered as they bit down on Rooks shoulder.

Rook cried out in pain, but soon the figure released him and quickly stood up. Rook sat up and backed away for the young ghoul, but as he looked back at his attackers eyes. He didn't  see a blood thirsty monster, but someone just as scared. They slow removed their mask, revealing their tearful face.

"Get out of here, and don't  come back," They figure said as they ran off into the savanna.

__________

"True, but you didn't, I could see it in your eyes, even if your mask hide your beauty at first," Rook said.

"After that you proceed to stalk me for the next 3 years," Y/n groaned as they thought back.

" Je ne aurais jamais, I was simply observing you. Why must you be so cruel with your words," Rook said dramatically.

"Then when you revealed yourself to me, you presented me with roses and "serenaded" me with a very long and flowery poem," Y/n sighed in embarrassment as their face turned red from embarrassment.

"Fufufu, your face was so red. You were so beautiful," Rook sighed with a smile.

"I am not beautiful," Y/n mumbled.

"Ne dis pas ça, your a mysterious and dangerous beauty," Rook said as he kissed Y/n's forehead," And I'll protect you. From those who wish to harm you, and from the monster within you."

Suddenly their was a crash and screams could be heard outside. Rook and Y/n quickly sat up as Rook quickly grabbed his Bow and Arrows. Just as he was about to run out of the room, he turned to Y/n.

"Reste ici (stay here)," Rook said as he quickly ran out.

But as they sat in the room they could smell the blood as the sound of thrashing continued. Y/n turned to their nightstand and hesitantly pulled out their mask; hiding it inside their clothes. They ran down the hall too see it was a ghoul attack. The Ghoul had a plague doctor mask, who had taken a large bit out of an unfortunate Pomeifore dorm member. Epel was frozen in fear as he tried to help the attacked student, Rook and Vil were trying to take down the rampaging Ghoul.

The two managed to chase the ghoul out of the dorm, but the School was already on alert as the staff, a few dorm leaders, and some vice leaders try to trap the creature. Y/n, with their mask set on their face quickly tracked down the invader and stood proud and tall as they stared them down on main street.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?!" Y/n shouted.

"This is my turf," he said simply as he charged Y/n.

The battle between the ghouls were violent and bloody, as blows and bites were received on both parties.

As the battle raged it brought the attention of the staff and students as they came rushing to see two ghouls fighting each other. They watched in horror as the staff and Headmatser quickly arrived. He was horrified to see not only that two ghouls had gotten into the school, but one of them were a student.

Rook could only watch in horror as his lover and friend continue to be bloodied and bitten. Y/N continued to fight till they finally get had landed a killing blow to the chest of the intruder ghoul.

Y/n refused to turn around as they could feel the hatful and disgusted glares staring down on them. They already knew that they were reading their magic pens, raised and aimed at them.

"Who ever you are foul creature, surrender immediately," Crowley demanded.

"It would be wise that you surrender, it was foolish of you to think that you could sneak into our school as a student," Crewel sneered, " if you come quietly, we'll give a quick and painless death."

"Je ne veux pas mourir.(I don't want to die)," Y/n said in shaky amateur French.

"fuyez...loin..dans un endroit sûr. ( Run away... Far Away... somewhere safe)," Rook said slowly.

The other students and staff were to busy worrying about the ghoul the didn't realize That the ghoul and Rook were having a conversation.

"Je te trouverai partout où tu iras. (I'll find you wherever you go)," Rook said quietly.

Y/n nodded as he quickly pulled out their own and summoned a mist, clouding the students view. With the opening Y/n quickly ran into the night.

The Wild Stories of the Motorcycles in the 6th Armored Division during World War II. The motorcycles might have caused more problems then the Germans!

Soldiers recount their experiences:

Mel Rappaport – HQ 6th Armored Division

"Yes, we did have Harleys in the division. We had them when we were training at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas and in the Mojave desert in California. In fact, I learned how to drive them, and even suffered a bad fall. I recall all of this very well. Once you master that monster machine, you want to go fast! I was in the desert, making a turn, in the heavy desert sands. The darn thing fell on top of me and it burned my legs as it fell on top of me. That sucker weighed a lot, even in those good old days.

I was careful after that incident; we used them for traffic control. For example, on a road march, they would rush to the front of a tank column, and at a cross road would direct traffic like a traffic cop.

We still had them at Camp Cooke, CA, but if I remember correctly, we had a lot of bad motorcycle accidents and a lot of drivers were hospitalized, all due to recklessness. So I think General Grow just did away with them. Too dangerous. One of my good friends, Sgt. Able, was very badly hurt in a fall and was in the camp hospital.

That was the end of the cycles in our 6th Armored Division. I do not know about the other divisions. All of this is my recollections going down old memory lane, but we did have the motorcycles in the division up to 1943.

Nick, Reconnaissance Company 603rd Tank Destroyer Battalion

"We had Harley motorcycles in Recon Company of the 603rd Tank Destroyer Battalion, and we did take them overseas with us. I believe we had one for each platoon. One of our first casualties was a fellow named Jacobsen who was delivering a message to Headquarters, and had an accident while trying to negotiate a turn on the way back. He was found by some French people, but they were unable to save him.

I cannot remember exactly when, but the motorcycles disappeared later on. They actually were of no use to us, and a real hazard to those that rode them in combat areas. Radios sort of made them obsolete."

Wayne Field, 2nd platoon, D Troop, 86th Reconnaissance Battalion

"During the spring of 1945 some of us in the 86th found a German motorcycle and rode it a little just for fun. I might say, it ISN'T impossible to ride it a slow speeds, just difficult to hold it down.

As a 18-year-old replacement my first motorcycle ride was in Germany. I tried to turn too short and wound up on my back looking up at the machine, the gasoline dripping from the gas tank cap. I'm thankful there wasn't a spark or flame around.

My first horseback ride was over there too. I tried to get on from the left side and landed several feet behind the horse. The horse has the upper hand, or was it foot? I tried again, this time going from the top of a fence to the back of the horse, and succeeded. Oh, there wasn't a saddle around. I don't remember if there was a halter, but I'm sure there wasn't a bridle."

Here is another motorcycle story of sorts.

Horace W Lennon – A Company 25th Armored Engineer Battalion

"On our first morning in combat, we came to a bridge the Germans had blown. The water was only about 2 feet deep so we went on across. On the other side there was an abandoned German motorcycle. My platoon leader Lt. G ( we won't call his name ), examined it and decided it was ridable. He cranked it up, gunned it a few times, and rode it around in a couple of circles. I was in the 1st Platoon's half track and he motioned me over. He said: “Sgt. Lennon, you're in charge now—ride in my jeep—I'm going to do some recon on this motorcycle.” With that he took off.

He'd hardly been gone 5 minutes when the call came in for the engineers to clear some mines. I took a detail (one squad) and we got busy. We cleared and deactivated the mines and placed them outside the road. The convoy got moving again and soon had our first contact with the enemy. Thankfully, it was a light skirmish and we went on our way, but it wasn't long before the call came out again: “Mines—Engineers!”. After we cleared that batch we came in contact with a German outpost. The Infantry took care of that. By then it was starting to get dark and the call came down to go into bivouac and post guard. There wasn't much sleeping that night. We could hear sporadic action up ahead. I thought they were “feelers” testing us out.

About daybreak orders came down to get things ready to move out. I heard someone calling for the engineer platoon so I yelled: “Engineers over here!”.

It was my CO, Captain Brooks. He said he was looking for Lt. G. I told him he had ridden off the day before on a German motorcycle, leaving me in charge, and I hadn't seen him since. After a few choice words, he promised to get me a new platoon leader, and did right away. Lt. Vermillion came and stayed with us from then on. Rumor was that Lt. G. was given a desk job. As for the motorcycle, we never saw it again."

The Giant Killer book and page honors these unique war heroes making sure their stories of valor and sacrifice are never forgotten. God Bless our Vets!🇺🇸

Janis: I dunno Janis: answer it and I'll see Jimmy: why would you wanna come in? Jimmy: the obvs answer to that one is you wouldn't Janis: Yeah, but mission piss off your dad is in full swing, hence I asked Janis: but alright Janis: obviously I'm not pulling up right outside your house in his car so come over park Jimmy: 🏃 Janis: [chilling outside this car not at all looking like you're about to do a drug deal or something] Jimmy: [chuck this 🎁 at her immediately because we're excited and also it's a distraction from how forlorn he clearly is] Janis: [poke and prod and shake it like you can work out what it is] Jimmy: [a look like open it then] Janis: [a look like don't rush me but obviously does and I cannot overstate how actually #SHOOK we'd be like idk what you're gonna say gal] Jimmy: [jimothy just gonna assume you don't like it, thanks for the self doubt Ian] Janis: ['mine's a bit shit now' like it's just a lighter but also you got that engraved we see you] Jimmy: [gesture for that gift like I'll be the judge of that thank you] Jimmy: [we know he's buzzing and is gonna use it immediately] Janis: [handing it over like you're not that bothered but clearly are, lowkey just looking through as much of the book as we can rn] Jimmy: [please do gal because he was joking about 😭 a min ago but he'd actually be emosh af rn cos the greatest gift we have ever received honestly] Janis: [when you don't even have to explain that you had it done before he did it 'cos literally last night and it's Christmas, we're all a bit emosh and overwhelmed now lmao, slayed it too hard] Jimmy: [not putting the lighter away even after his lit both of your 🚬 -which would be a moment ™ rn in each other's grill while overwhelmed af- because we're just gonna keep tracing that engraving with our fingers lowkey forever] Janis: [the amount of times we keep going to say something, like, literally no one has ever got us a gift this good, or how much we like it, or literally any of it, but we cannot 'cos it's too much so just standing here dying and smoking] Jimmy: [hard same though, they are both very much in the same boat, but add loads of blinking for him so he don't sob nbd] Janis: [when nothing is safe rn, can't speak, can't make out, just like !!! so hard, do a feelsy lean like you okay 'cos can't verbalise so] Jimmy: [obvs gonna do a feelsy lean back which hopefully won't hurt you too much boy because idk how we're hurting you this time] Janis: [yeah just let me know when it would be obvious 'cos not oblivious but don't wanna act like she's psychic and just gonna know immediately lol] Jimmy: [can you remember what injury I did when ice bath because I remember that but not what was fucking him up at the time] Janis: [it was just general body shots/potential for a broken rib moment, I think?] Jimmy: [that sounds accurate because nhs direct were like 🚭 so of course I did] Janis: [it just makes sense for where you would hit someone if you weren't going for a face moment, so potential you might of flinched then, I guess, so we're ? and out of our feels like what was that] Jimmy: [yeah like we're hiding the fact it hurts every time we breathe in so we don't have to forfeit the 🚬 and shit on your gift giving but the feelsy lean is our undoing, literally could've just not done it boy but we know you had to] Janis: [like honestly well done for getting that far it's only 'cos it was so dramatically emotional, the lowkey speed we're putting together what Bobby said, the obvious fact you were driving Ian's stolen car, like okay, so at least we don't have to ask the question, just gently holding his face 'cos can't even hug him or anything 'can I see?' like lemme assess the damage] Jimmy: [at least you would have a bit of time left to downplay how bad it is by looking at her like I'm fine before the bruises expose you because hasn't been long enough for them to fully be !!!!] Janis: [a look like, so show me then, but not as cunty as that sounds lmao] Jimmy: [I look around at the weather like do you want me to freeze to death because I love that we're communicating in looks still lol] Janis: [turning around like oh look, a car] Jimmy: [go sit in it because the weather isn't just an excuse clearly if you're gonna get snowed in tomorrow] Janis: [turn that heating on gal 'bit rude you weren't gonna seduce me' but your tone making it obvs you don't reckon you're gonna succeed at lightening the mood rn but you're alright with not making him talk about it too] Jimmy: ['bit rude of you to reckon I weren't' and a look around like is this not the perfect place to seduce you in because we will downplay this situation until the day we die so it's all nbd and we're SO FINE] Janis: [likewise looks around and shrugs 'suppose it's no less romantic than the park' and then looks out at said park and just chills in the silence for a bit] Jimmy: [we're looking too cos the mems and then eventually we're like 'come here then' as if we're gonna just hook up in this car as standard, sir your injuries] Janis: [does not] Jimmy: [nudges her like excuse you but you know that's gonna make you flinch if the feelsy lean did so then we're just annoyed for letting that happen again] Janis: [sighs, 'never promised I was gonna kill you today' like simply not in this state, and then is looking around again for something, before taking off our hoodie and getting out to assemble this snow pack] Jimmy: [OTT fake sigh to hide how big our genuine sigh would have been as if she doesn't know and then we're just watching her do this like ? before it becomes obvious what she's doing 'got loads of frozen sprouts at ours' because who in his fam would wanna eat them but we're not stopping her because we're hiding this from Bobby at least even if Cass knows] Janis: [just giving this to him like put it where you need it most 'you could go lay in it but you nah'd that idea before we even started' again, gentle pisstaking rn] Jimmy: [does obvs so you're gonna see anyway gal 'no I never, you never said that were your plan' likewise with our gentle pisstaking as if this is a normal day] Janis: [gestures like be my guest 'not a requirement I've gotta be on top of you' but we're looking the best we can without dramatically examining him right now and we're not happy with what we seeing, obviously] Jimmy: ['weren't a requirement for me to get my tits out either but that's what you were after a bit ago' as if she was asking him to flash her instead of trying to investigate whether he's alright or not, I lol] Janis: [IRL 🙄 at you boy 'you gonna try and tell me you're not that sort of girl now'] Jimmy: [crosses himself in the most pisstakey manner cos he's still him, however much pain he's in] Janis: [lols 'great, fake waiting 'til fake marriage now'] Jimmy: [is like 🤫 but way hotter than that emoji is obviously and then kissing her as if it's their secret] Janis: [the casual restraint we must show so it doesn't end up going too heavy here, but still, you can kiss as his face isn't injured rn, points to the heavens like, he's always watching babe] Jimmy: [a look up to said heavens like we're so #into that idea of a pervy voyeuristic god] Janis: [😏 'all about the #fans, you'] Jimmy: [shakes his head like a nerd 'don't sound like me'] Janis: [noise like hmm okay hun, after a little more silence, 'where were the kids?' we mean when Ian beat him up but up to you if he follows this train of thought] Jimmy: [shaking his head again before he can stop himself but obvs this time seriously like they didn't see anything because he does know what she means and my vibe is that whenever this happened Cass would've kept Bobby busy when the arguing started but because jimothy isn't ready to get into this whole story even though she's already worked it out he's gonna pretend he doesn't know what she's going on about and that was simply a confused headshake 'what?'] Janis: ['where are the kids now, like?' like what they up to, how'd you sneak out vibes, not 'cos you wanna pretend that's what you said all along but you understood if nothing else that he heard you and he doesn't wanna talk about however he understood what you said so we changing the subject] Jimmy: [nods in the direction of his house literally over the road 'can probably see 'em pissing about with all the shit he's bought from here' because we know that's the only parenting Ian does honey] Janis: [nods because we understand this type of parenting too, even if that isn't actually all that ruster do but you know 'gonna take weeks to get rid of all the fucking wrapping paper at ours'] Jimmy: [flicks his lighter she got him on and off 'you'll have a right laugh doing that' because we know she loves the one we gave her too] Janis: ['another good idea' and going to switch out his snow pack 'is it helping a bit?'] Jimmy: ['full of 'em, me' because we can't even with people taking care of us because when does that ever happen but it is helping so we've gotta add 'but you do alright yourself an' all'] Janis: [shrugs like it's the literal least we can do 'cos we think other people would probably have something to say or whatever rn and we don't 'you had any painkillers yet?'] Jimmy: [mimes drinking but that's clearly a pisstake because you'd know if he was drunk rn and is about to say something but actually does 🥱 because hasn't had any sleep which would hurt so thank god for this snow actually working so it's bearable] Janis: [back at it with this snow pack like we're anticipating that, before rummaging round in this car looking for some pills, gonna say there's none, at least he lives more central than you gal, looking at him like hmm 'you should go lay in the back' like get comfy whilst I run to the shops 'shame Helena isn't actually a dealer, though'] Jimmy: ['bit weird if you drove all this way to watch me sleep, Joanne' but does go to get comfy because why not tbh but because he's him he's pulling her along with him like I only will if you come and lie with me 'or in the boot' imagine if she just popped up like hey LOL] Janis: ['what are you gonna do about it?' said like a usual challenge but it simply is not, speaking of the boot reaching over now she's also in the back for the obligatory random coats and picnic blankets etc so she can cover him up so he doesn't get cold whilst having to be covered in snow as well, just tucking him in and shaking our head like oh you 'so soz I didn't kidnap any bitch for you and tie her up back there'] Jimmy: [tries to start a playfight but we simply can't so we're grumpy and forlorn but we're pretending we're gutted about the lack of kidnap only and making it OTT and fake as per 'you'll have to do' and acting like we're gonna tie her up with something but snuggling into her because we are buzzing she's here in these shit times] Janis: [just snuggling for a while, trying to make him as comfortable as possible all things considered 'I've got to get some pain relief in you before you crash' and dramatically tearing yourself away like you won't be 10 minutes or so] Jimmy: [checking his imaginary watch like no no I don't have time to crash it's alright because you simply don't want her to go even though she's literally gonna be 10 minutes lol] Janis: [pouting unintentionally 'cos likewise don't really wanna leave him like you could take the car but don't wanna drive it all over this town unnecessarily like they run license plate checks often enough to not be silly with it 'I'll get drink too, if I can, if you want' like every little helps] Jimmy: [gotta just run his thumb over that pouty lip like that's not the most distracting thing ever because if we say something we'll just be like DON'T GO!! too dramatically to even pretend is fake so we can't even talk, so soz that he can't answer a question ever at the best of times but managing to get out 'if you want' as if she's the one who needs it oh jimothy] Janis: [testing you so hard right now soz gal, 'it'll keep us warm' because you have to be at least slightly suggestive back before running] Jimmy: speaking of kidnap, my sister's coming tomorrow an' all Jimmy: can chuck the 🐕 at her soon as it starts doing our heads in Janis: 👍 Janis: we won't have to do something completely 4-6 shit then and we can blame it on her on the sly Janis: sorted Jimmy: Dunno what or where they'll all be bothered about Janis: well I have been 🤔 like you said Jimmy: go on Jimmy: what's your 🥇💡? Janis: we can kick it cliche and go to the beach Janis: but not here Janis: nan and granda got a caravan in Skerries and Libi would love showing you and Bobby around no doubt Jimmy: *#goals Jimmy: if Libi's 😁 our kid will be Janis: awh Janis: thank god they don't go to our school Janis: too much competition Jimmy: he's been going on about her all day Jimmy: don't even need #s Janis: had to wrestle my phone off her 'cos she was trying to call him midway through lunch to see if he had to eat carrots too Jimmy: the answer's he don't have to eat owt he don't want, she'd have been 💔 Jimmy: just tells Ian he's allergic to whatever it is if he starts Jimmy: he'd be well good at fake dating, oscar's in the bag Janis: honestly, coming for your job at CG next Janis: when he can reach the counter Jimmy: he can have that, they've been on at me to work tomorrow Janis: seriously Janis: who needs overpriced caffeine that badly boxing day Jimmy: what dickhead needs it any day? Janis: true Janis: but especially now Jimmy: Pete needs the 💰💰 for new 🎸 strings or some bollocks, I've told him to crack on Jimmy: 😘 Janis: he'll remember you when he's made it big Jimmy: 🤞 he'll write a song about me Jimmy: you can sing it Janis: that's cruel and unusual punishment Janis: obviously want a song written about me, not to sing about you 💔 Jimmy: you'll have to earn yours an' all Jimmy: he's no slag Janis: it is easy though Jimmy: to write a song or inspire one? Janis: to inspire one Janis: even without shifts to swap Jimmy: inspire me then Jimmy: might 🖋 you one Janis: right now I'm a bit busy getting you drugs and alcohol Jimmy: 🥇 or nowt baby Jimmy: what are you gonna do let 💊 🥃 inspire me instead?

Jimmy: carve it into my 😎 Janis: a good idea 'til you're legally blind and I've got to train the dog more than sit and stay Jimmy: if anyone could though, mate Jimmy: obvs you Jimmy: train it to walk us into traffic and that's another job done Janis: nah Janis: shit way to die Janis: where's the fun in it for me? Jimmy: never said there were, it were you saying you were busy Janis: come on Janis: never too busy for you, darling Jimmy: walked into that like I were blind Janis: you are sleepy Janis: won't be too disappointed in you Jimmy: should've let you meet Ian, that's step mum talk if I've ever heard it Janis: financially ruining him with the divorce is just the tip of the iceberg of shit I'd be more than willing to do Janis: #fakedatethefakeboyfriendsrealdad? Janis: might be the logical next step Jimmy: if that's the tip, can't wait to hear what you're willing to do on the rest of that iceberg Janis: nothing if not dedicated to the cause Jimmy: 😍😍 Janis: I did forget how many places would be shut though Janis: there'll be somewhere Jimmy: It's alright Jimmy: come back Janis: no you need some Jimmy: I'll live Janis: how about at yours Jimmy: 💊 ✔ 🥃✔ Jimmy: not gonna get any 🏆 off Helena or her customers but Janis: yeah but, can you go in Janis: or am I Jimmy: I get it, you wanna crack on with your iceberg strategy Janis: 🛳 Jimmy: I better crack on an' all and paint you before I 🥶🌊 Janis: you better still be under those blankets Jimmy: [a picture like 👀 peeping out from those blankets] Janis: you're adorable Jimmy: come back Janis: okay Janis: but I am gonna make you feel better somehow Jimmy: 😏 Jimmy: knew you couldn't resist me, Jules Janis: never said I could Janis: but you've got to resist me Jimmy: don't challenge me Jimmy: not like that Janis: Sorry Jimmy: 🎻💔😭 Janis: I know, baby Janis: so devastating Jimmy: worst christmas EVER Janis: 🥺 Janis: you would feel differently if you'd picked yourself up a 🐶 Jimmy: that'd be worst christmas ever and ever amen Janis: STOP PRAYING Janis: it's so weird Jimmy: make me Janis: 😈 Jimmy: 🤞 Janis: [show back up, lowkey grumpy you forgot it was Christmas day but we're happy to see him, checking he's comfortable and probably doing the snow pack again] Jimmy: [snuggle her because she must be cold and that's obvs the only reason okay] Janis: [get yourselves situated lads] Jimmy: [opening his mouth to say a million things like thanks, I missed you, I was only joking it's not the worst christmas ever but we don't know how to say any of them so we're just not] Janis: [putting your finger on his mouth like he said anything at all there 's'alright' like it so isn't for either of you rn but you're trying god bless Jimmy: [hitting her with some intense eye contact like I hope you can read my mind rn because all those things I wanna say are so important] Janis: [at least you can kiss] Jimmy: [you both very much need to, I couldn't be that evil] Janis: [or something is gonna come out here, I can't be held responsible lol] Jimmy: [literally same so shh for a bit please] Janis: [emotions are running hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh and not jus me character bleeding] Jimmy: [they are and that's why it's gonna be so fun that they get snowed in and so heartbreaking when she leaves] Janis: [oh the delicious drama] Jimmy: [speaking of leaving neither of you are gonna wanna go home even more than usual] Janis: [like you barely have to, just to make sure Cass and Bobby are ready and you've got to get Libi gal but yes, still] Jimmy: [damn you kiddos, we know they'd just go now if not for y'all] Janis: [when you can't leave your siblings, so sad, so rude] Jimmy: [literally didn't ask to be parents rn but we are out here becoming a family unit] Janis: [god bless, at least you're all gonna have a good time on this trip] Jimmy: [we'll make sure you do, lads, casual domestic bliss] Janis: [but seriously, is there anything else we dare to say or do rn before making you separate] Jimmy: [we should probably separate you but I don't want to lol] Janis: [at least you can message when you're separated so you'll have to say something and not just snugg] Jimmy: [give her your hoodie or jumper before she goes because she's sacrificed hers for you and you easily can sacrifice one of your layers because you only have to go across the road when you can bring yourself to] Janis: [cute selfie you don't need to take to prove you're still wearing it like 5 minutes later lol] Jimmy: [one back of him taking some painkillers, I imagine they're on his sticky out tongue in a sassy manner like we're calling her out for worrying about him when he's OBVS FINE but we're sending the pic actually so she won't worry because we care] Janis: take more than the recommended dose, tah Janis: but only double, no 💀 Jimmy: I get it, no self induced coma unless you're there to take advantage Janis: if Sandy ain't gonna Jimmy: how many oscars has she got? you should've have 'em off her Janis: has she got any?

doing it back even if it hurts because we don't care, the feelsy lean is sacred] Janis: ['he's such a twat' the reassurance he doesn't need but we're saying it so seriously] Jimmy: [can't help genuinely smiling because you know Ian is the kind of person who everyone thinks is just such a standard dad and we obvs didn't think the bae would fall for it but there's always gonna be a part of us thinking he's right and we're wrong so the relief] Janis: [we all know the kind, just parenting you, psh, but we smiling back 'cos love to see it] Jimmy: [😍 because she's cute and we're in love] Janis: [gotta kiss him soft] Jimmy: [take your excuse to be soft because we know you both like it] Janis: [a good excuse because we are not trying to injure you boy forreal, but the restraint is a killer lmao] Jimmy: [the perfect excuse for you to show her how good you are with your hands even if you don't remember/are pretending you don't remember that bit of the drunken christmas eve convo because you can keep your distance a lil bit more but still kill her] Janis: [enjoy trying not to die gal, 'cos whilst making Ian overhear you is funny, waking the kid is not so shh] Jimmy: [at least he's deaf so you've got less chance than if you were at mcvickers house and Libi was just like oh hey, speaking of the caravan when you're snowed in is gonna be hilarious casually no privacy ever] Janis: [that's true, how do you wake up a deaf person except for rudely shaking them like HELLO also how do they know when there's a fire/any other kind of alarm, questions I have but are not entirely relevant rn, won't make Cass hate us that much already lmao, 'cos honestly, need an ally in you when Skerries alone] Jimmy: [I've seen vibrating ones that they can like put under their pillow and shit which is slightly less rude than just being like OI but yeah, we can win Cass over during this unexpectedly longer trip than we thought we'd be on] Jimmy: [but for now have a drink and recover gal] Janis: [a good idea, ang would like that] Janis: [lowkey pouty like you can't immediately return the favour but you simply cannot soz] Jimmy: [doing the pouty lip bite thing won't help but we simply must nevertheless] Janis: ['that's illegal'] Jimmy: [a lil lol which we're pretending doesn't hurt because we're fine] Janis: [obviously we notice 'cos in what world aren't we 'should really bandage you up' and looking like do you have any in or do we need to get that tomorrow] Jimmy: [🤨 because it's such a foreign concept that anyone actually cares about us that we can't hide our genuine surprise/confusion and then we have to go look because we're like this is awkward how dare she care about me, let's say there is so you can chuck them at her] Janis: ['that's what you need to do' like he's just thinking it's bullshit advice, unravel some of that bandage after it's thrown at you 'it'll heal faster' and gesturing for him to take his top off 'can be a mummy for a bit, ghost boy'] Jimmy: [obvs gonna throw his top at her as well because always] Janis: [pretending it's so gross like ew] Jimmy: [equally as obvs then getting all up in her grill like if you thought that was gross you'll HATE this] Janis: [the pretence of being #horrified is so thinly veiled, but focus gal, gotta bandage him up as tightly as you can so it's more comfortable for him, the casual intimacy, bye, pretend we do not notice] Jimmy: [what a mcvickers-esque moment] Janis: [truly] Jimmy: [do a ✔ on her in the same place as the bandage is like okay job done and because you do feel better for it and most importantly just shamelessly wanna touch her bare skin whenever we can] Janis: [dramatically stop breathing for a sec 'yeah?'] Jimmy: [kiss her as dramatically to show her you can without it hurting as much as it did before] Janis: [can't even fake mad about it] Jimmy: [interrupt this makeout sesh for long enough to casually pour some of whatever this bottle is into her mouth because it's always a saucy mood and she has earned it by nursing you back to health] Janis: [too much of a mood frankly we're so about it, also nice throwback to literally last night what is time] Jimmy: [gonna have to let y'all hook up because this boy has no chill but just be really careful please] Janis: [just let him lead and you should be fine] Jimmy: [gotta be soft so that's a whole new mood in itself because you have not yet] Janis: [feeding him drink in the same manner after but that likewise feels really soft 'cos basically doing it like it's medicine at this point like you gotta, then removing whatever clothes you got left on to get in bed] Jimmy: [shameless snuggling will ensue because we will play tetris if needs be until we find a position that's comfortable for you both to be in] Janis: [drawing the ✔ on him when we're settled but also a ❓] Jimmy: [taking her hand and turning it into a 👍 and then giving it a lil thank you squeeze before adding his own ? to ask if she's alright too] Janis: [snuggling down as a response] Jimmy: [a happy sigh compared to the dramatic one earlier] Janis: ['Jimmy-' but stopping 'cos don't know what you think you're gonna say hen] Jimmy: [the softest 'what?' ever] Janis: [just looking and LOOKING for a hot sec 'merry christmas'] Jimmy: [obvs we're saying it back even though we know that's not what she was gonna say] Janis: [you better stop] Jimmy: [will draw 😁 on you is it a pisstake/ are we this buzzing that the bae is here and tomorrow we can leave/do we wanna just touch her always/is it all of these] Janis: [gonna say we got lost on that one so we're just like what are you talking about boy/tickled like oi] Jimmy: [doing it again more slowly and deliberately so it'll tickle more and she might get it so we don't have to do it with our face if she doesn't lol] Janis: [just loling like staph 'I'm either gonna fall out or fuck you up here' but not mad, obvs] Jimmy: [hold onto her so she can't fall out and that's ofc the only reason] Janis: [random but have we ever said whether the caravan is 2 or 3 bedrooms?] Jimmy: [I don't think we've ever specified but I assume it's on the bigger side because mcvickers own it and all the fam ever] Janis: [let's go with 3 then, a double and 2 singles, makes sense, usually have a way to make beds in the lounge too] Jimmy: [I'll try and remember that for all the other people and gens it affects lol] Janis: [write that down boo lol]

King Arthur’s Legacy Vol. 1 Ch. I: Welcome Back To The Hiraoka Tribe Father!

(This unknown heroes is on a journey of becoming what they want to be, a hero that wants to coexist with the humans, to avenge their parent’s deaths, to take down the Demon Lord. How did this happened? Let's take a long trip down memory lane 6 years ago.)

(6 years ago in the tribe known as Hiraoka Tribe in the underworld. Little boy was sleeping with his sister on the 3rd floor in their room since their parents sleep together on the 2nd floor in their rooms.)

(The little boy and his sister heard the noise coming from the living room, they got out of their bed and took the elevator that was next to the library on the 2nd floor.)

(It took a minute to get the first floor, a minute later, the elevator opened once they reached to the living room that's located on the first floor. They hurried to the kitchen and sees a tall figure, long black hair, black eyes, J Cup Breasts, she was sad that her 5 million dollar Amethyst vase was shattered to pieces. She heard her children and gave them a hug.)

(The young boy is Ayumu Hiraoka he's 8 years old, son of the Hiraoka Tribe, the youngest cub of the Hiraoka Family.)

(The tall woman is Kimiko Hiraoka, Ayumu's mother, she's 24 years old, she looks after her children, she gave birth to her daughter at the age of 15. Then a year later she gave birth to her son at the age of 16.)

(The young girl stands next to her brother is Ayumi Hiraoka, she's 9 years old, she's Ayumu older sister. Ayumu and Ayumi are cubs right now, they always support each other, their family, even their tribe.)

"Mother what happened here?"

"Sorry about that son, I was cleaning the house, everything was spotless, I accidentally bumped into your father's special vase."

"I'm sure there will be a replacement vase so father wouldn't know."

"Wait, is there a replacement vase?"

"Of course there is mother, trust me, we can find a way to replace it."

"Sis are you certain that there is a replacement vase?"

"Yes little brother, we have the money to replace it."

(Ayumu was confused and don'tknow anything about money, Ayumi explained to him the definition of money, the money in the Netherworld is called Jewels. The Hiraoka Tribe is the only Tribe that is poor but makes loads of Jewels, it's because they are #1 best Tribe in the Netherworld.)

"Now I think about it sis, we have a replacement vase in the attic don't we?"

"Oh yeah, that's true, thanks little brother."

"Mother there's a vase in the attic."

"Oh! Thank you my sweet children, I'll get it right away!"

"Oh, Ayumu my sweet baby boy."

"Yes mother?"

"There's something that your father want you to do alone."

"Alone? What is it that father wants me to do?

"Head to Hiraoka tower and obtain the sword that have been asleep for ages."

"E...Eh? Alone...? What about father?"

"This is important, I know you are scared but if you do this for our Tribe, you will get as much Steak, Ribs, Baked Chicken, Curry Chicken, and Barbecue Chicken as you want."

"As much as I want? I want to do it mother!"

"Then it's decided, take this map, but be warned when you go inside, there will be monsters that can be vicious so be careful."

(Ayumu obtained the map and fly out of Hiraoka Village to Hiraoka Tower, the guards let him go in, he arrived inside the tower in the basement.)

(Ay Kun checked if there were any leads, any clues, etc. He opened the treasure and found a Hiraoka Tower Dungeon Map, and a compass.)

(5 minutes later, He realized that there are 7 floors in the tower, the unknown sword is on the 2nd floor, vicious monsters are on the 3rd floor to 5th floor, golden boss key in the golden treasure is on the 6th floor, the boss door is on the 7th floor which is locked.)

(few moments later he reached to the the 2nd floor, he sees the sword his mother was talking about, he pulled it out of it's pedestal and felt it's magic power.)

“This is quite interesting, it's so powerful, yet cool. My very first weapon, I have to slay those monsters and get to the top of the tower."

(Ayumu went to the 3rd floor seeing monster from a clan that he never heard of, he was afraid but the power in the sword awoken, his eyes glow red, he slaughtered all monsters from 3rd to 5th floor, he obtained the boss key after opening the golden treasure on the 6th floor. He unlocked the boss door with the boss key and entered in the boss room.)

(He fought the gigantic dragon and obliterated it, took the Hiraoka Spell Book that's for him also the sword he obtained on the second floor, and left.)

(Few hours later after Ayumu had recovered)

“You came home safe and sound my baby boy."

"We're glad you're okay."

"By the way kids, your father is coming home."

“Father is coming home!?

“Yes, he should be coming home today, after being in war for 20 years."

(Kimiko’s phone rang as soon as she finished have a long chat with Ayumu her children. She picked up her phone to answer it, it was Kitono, Kimiko’s husband, Ayumu’s and Ayumi’s father.)

“Hello? You’re home right now honey?”

“Indeed I am my sweet Kimiko, can you come outside and bring our kids with you."

“We will be on our way.”

“Ayumu, Ayumi, your father is waiting for us outside, let’s go.” Kimiko said.

“Right mother!”

"We're ready mother!"

(They hurried outside at the entrance of Hiraoka Village and they see their father on top of the palm tree holding a sack full of gifts for the entire land of Hiraoka Tribe.)

“I’m home everyone.”

"We miss you Father!"

"Welcome back Father!"

"Welcome back honey."

(To Be Continued)

[simcophogi]

oh wow oh wow! I hope you don't mind me asking, but how on earth did you make that glitchy, 3d gif for your sim! It's the coolest thing I have ever seen! I would love to know how you made it. It's soooooooo cool!!!!

AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I worked for quite a while on it, I’m so glad you think so!! I don’t mind at all I’m happy to explain! It’s been a while since I actually made it tho so it took me a bit to remember haha

Because it got quite long, the tutorial is under the cut!

So I knew what I wanted to do and searched for tutorials and ended up sort of following this and this tutorial to get the gist of how to do the glitchy thing going for an image/gif. (The second one is also where I got the scanlines you’ll see later!) I’m going to explain what to do right from the start, but if I’m unclear check them out, it might help to see a video! If you already know how to do the glitch stuff, you can skim and jump right on down to where it says “Step whatever”!

HOLD ONTO UR HATS BECAUSE HERE WE GO~

FIRST STEP: Get ur beautiful blank canvas ready for the beauty.

Fun fact, this was not actually my starting size (I originally made it too big and it didn’t run want to run on tumblr so I had to size it down!) I think the gif will work as long as it’s below 1000 KB? Don’t quote me on that tho.

I had two images I knew I wanted to use, so I started by deleting the background from them so I could just have the sim ready to be edited. I’m doing the same to both, but I just wanted them both to be prepped! Line them up as best you can and hide the 2nd image.

Second…third?? Step?? I’ve already forgotten. (I’m terrible at this PFF) Anywho, we’re gonna work one image at a time, so once that’s done, make three copies of your original. It should look like this

We’re gonna be changing up 2 of the 3 we copied. Double click the middle one (or top, it really doesn’t matter, just not the bottom one) and you should see blending options. Disable the green channel.

If they look purple that’s fine!! If it’s the only layer turned on the image will be a nice purple color. If you have all enabled you won’t see really any change. Select the image you just fiddled with and move it left (or right) a few notches and you’ll see the little color change.

Select the next layer and do the same thing, but instead of disabling the green channel, turn off red and blue and move the image in the opposite direction.

NOW, whatever step we’re on, the next thing is to move them into a group, copy the group, and merge! I made one copy now and then another after I fiddled with it because I wanted a transition to happen where the glitch effect..increased? Got more.. glitchy?

(I hope u like picture aids kiddos)

Take your merged group and start making some selections and then shift them over to get that glitchy look. I keep the group visible because I like the look, but it’s up to you! Keep fiddling with pulling/pushing the merged image around to get to what you like. I kept this one ‘simplistic’ because I wanted this to be the “middle” or inbetween image.

Copy this once your happy with it and do it again but with your 2nd copy and make it more trippy! (do more face stuff, body, whatever u like) So you should end up with something like this!

That’s basically it for the glitch effects! If you’re like me and had another image you wanted to transition to, just make sure you do the same thing! I only had one where I pushed and pulled it around because I wanted this monster version of Shay to be like a snap. I wanted her on and off and the trick about animation is the faster you want something to look- the fewer inbetweens you want.

STEP WHATEVER: If you skimmed and you ended up here– hello! There’s still one last thing to do before we put it all together and do the animation/gif part! Tbh, this is entirely optional, but I think it adds another thing to the overall product and I love it!! I mentioned it earlier, but I used the scanlines from this video, but you can either make your own or google some? Whatever you want! It’s super easy I was just being suuuuper lazy.

Moving on!

Add the scanlines above all the images, set it to overlay and I changed my opacity to 8%, but if you want more it’s not gonna look weird. The only thing to note though is that it gave me a headache to look at the glitch effect and lines if I went into the 15-25% range.

(fun fact #2, if you noticed it, I call the action I use for my gameplay and some edits psdfuckery because I made it on accident) So now is your time to apply any other edits you want before you start messing with the timeline because it’s very picky sometimes.

If you don’t want to use photoshop to create the gif, there are other things like giphy that work pretty well, just slap in your frames and go, but I’m already here and I know how to use it so why not.

Once you got it how you like it (Edits, border, lines, glitch, literally everything) it’s time to animate! If you haven’t already get the timeline up (You can find it under Window). Click to create the frame animation.

I have about 10 frames set up, but it’s really up to you and how many images you have/what you want it to look like. You gif will run smoother if you have less images!

So for each frame all your going to do is just display which image you want to show and hide the others. It’s super simple. To add a frame you just click the little page icon in the timeline window. It’s like adding another layer. Sort of. Make sure to change how many times it loops!! By default it’s set to loop only once, you’ll want to change this to forever.

How you set up your frames is up to you and how fast you want the effect to happen. For me I wanted the glitch to slowly build up, monster Shay to flash on the screen and then flicker out.

To really get the most out of it too is to mess with the timing. You can make the frame last longer or shorter by clicking on the little down arrow where it says how many seconds the frame will stay on screen. I believe the default is 0 seconds (which is super fast.) Typically, make all of them at least last .1 - .2 seconds. 0 seconds is super speedy. The only one I have longer is the starting one because I wanted it to pause when it looped around!

Now all that’s left is to save it out as a gif! File > Export > Save for Web. These are my settings if you want to copy/check what you have.

And that’s it!

I REALLY HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!!! I haven’t really made tutorials and my explanations tend to be quite terrible as I tend to rant on, so if I was unclear anywhere, please let me know!!

don't play

“So this is what you do? Interesting.” Jin says as he approaches the rapper off stage. The rapper has a reputation of a king and an aura of a god. Its not Jin’s cup of tea but something new wouldn’t be wrong, right?

Jin saw the infamous Agust D performed just now. Charismatic and flamboyant. The stage is huge enough for 20 people to perform but Agust D made the stage look so small for someone like him. Agust D performed and it left the crowd wanting more. He moved around the stage as if its own arena and rapped as if it’s his last performance. Yoongi is still as present when Agust D is around but an amplified version of himself. Jin got more intrigued of who this man really is.

“Can’t believe I’m seeing a pretty face in this ugly place.” The rapper said and looked up at Jin. The height difference can be seen but the rapper doesn’t seem too intimidating face to face. Jin just mouthed a thank you, how shameless.

“Namjoon did invite me to see Min Yoongi perform and he’ll perform after him. I suppose he’s not around.” Jin says and smiles at the rapper. The rapper just gave him a confused look which caused Jin to chuckle. Its underground, no one expects innocent smiles and lighthearted conversation.

“Agust D, huh? Who knew you had this side of yours.” Jin says and extends his hand for a handshake. Yoongi extends his hand to meet the handshake. Awkward.

“So, why did Namjoon invite you here? You’re not a fan of hip hop just by the looks of it.” Yoongi says and smirks at Jin, who’s a bit lost of words. The underground is certainly not the place where pretty flowers like Jin grows. Its full of wolves devouring anyone who even dares look at them.

Yoongi or Agust D, if you will, has been in the underground scene since he was 15 years old. Young, yes but respected early on. He’s known for his music, mixtapes, and personality. Other rappers have a 2nd persona for rapping but him? Its the same. “An asshole who walks like a god" Hoseok said one time.

“Min Yoongi will perform, he said. Its also Rap Monster’s biggest performance so he’s pretty excited.” Jin said and gave a smile at Yoongi who just smirked. Yoongi turned his back on Jin to see the enxt performance and Jin noticed the tattoos on his nape. An angel wings tattoo, its odd for someone like Yoongi. Jin wonders how many more he ha sunder the oversized bomber jacket he’s wearing.

Ya’ll having a blast?! You know him, its Rap Monster!“ The announcer shouted at the hyped crowd and everyone suddenly started chanting. Jin and Yoongi is right infront of the stage to see the event everyone is waiting for.

Rap Monster stepped out in the stage with his infamous snap back and he held his mic as if he’s been doing it his whole life. F*CKBOY by Jay Park started playing and everyone started screaming on the top of their lungs. Rap Monster walked around the stage and he started rapping.

Jin’s amaze by Namjoon’s skills because the guy is usually so awfully shy with people but seeing him like this makes him proud. Yoongi smiled at the sight but not to the point everyone noticed. Jin noticed Yoongi’s coy smile and stared at him insted of Namjoon spitting fire on stage. Yoongi looked so younger when he smiles like that.

Time flew by pass and Namjoon’s performance is done. Namjoon said his thank you’s to the crowd (there are 3000 people in total) and went down to Jin and Yoongi who’s waiting for him. Jin waved at Namjoon who’s looking for them.

“Hyung! I can’t believe I did it!” Namjoon said with a smile on his face. Sweat evident on his forehead and heavy breathing. Jin thought he looks like such a child.

“You did well, Namjoon-ah.” Yoongi said and smiled at Namjoon and pat his shoulder. Jin just, again, stared at Yoongi. How many sides does this rapper has that no one knows but Namjoon and Hoseok?

“Jin hyung, I’m glad that you came. It really means a lot.” Namjoon shyly said. Jin, who’s out of it, got surprised and smiled. He gave Namjoon two thumbs up who responded with his dimply smile.

“

“There’s Hoseok! Hyungs, I’ll be back. He might get lost in the crowd.” Namjoon said and went to the other side to fetch Hoseok who looks confused and lost. Somewhat how Jin looked like when he went here for the first time but it isn’t Hoseok’s first.

“Were you staring at me awhile ago?” Yoongi asked and faced Jin who’s caught by surprised. What is with Min Yoongi and surprises? Jin swears that he’ll die soon because of a heart attack from Yoongi.

“What are you saying? You’re seeing things.” Jin says and laughs awkwardly. Real smooth, Kim Seokjin. Yoongi just rolled his eyes at Jin’s failed attempt in lying.

“Whatever you say. Also, can I borrow your phone?” Yoongi says and extends his hand to Jin. Jin gave gave his phone to Yoongi and Yoongi started typing. Too trusting, Yoongi thought.

“Sure. What are you gonna do with it?” Jin leans over but Yoongi gives his phone back right away. Jin blinked for a few times to registered what just happened and then it hit him…

“Agust D..090675.. What?!” Jin said and looked up from his phone to Yoongi who just grinned at him. Jin now has Min Yoongi’s phone number. Pinch him, he might be dreaming.

“I have a performance this Thursday. See you around, hyung.” Yoongi said and went into the crowd and waved goodbye to Jin. Jin couldn’t even say goodbye back, what a douchebag.

Jin clutched his phone at his chest and sighed. He keeps in mind that this Thursday he will go here again. Jin knows he shouldn’t but something is drawing him in. "What games are you playing, Min Yoongi?” Jin asked to no one.

2 Secret Tokens In North America

Token 1: Look on the map of North America in the instructions. See the big lake? If you do, then follow the lake all the way down (In your car) until a waterfall. The token is just a little under the top of the waterfall (In the air, not the water.) All you need to do is fall off the fall (A little on the left side) and you should get it. Make sure to fall with some speed. Now, if you still don't understand me, then here is another way to find it. From the start (In Joyridin') continue down the cliff you start out on toward town. Keep on going untill you see a river, follow the river down to an intersection in the road with a house almost in it. Go under the bridge near the intersection and stay in the river. Go toward where you came untill a waterfall is in sight. Go to the left of the fall over the hill on a path and you should be at the top part of the falls. Then follow the first instructions to get it.Token 2: Follow the 2nd instructions to token 1. But at the road intersection instead of going under the bridge go over the hill behind the house that is near the intersection. You should be on a rail road track. Follow the tracks until you see a pretty steep hill on the left and right side. Then go up the right hill, and try to get up it. When you do stay on the top and look around. If you see a place where you can go lower, but still high up, go on it. A token is waiting!!

Getting “Great” Ratings

While there is no easy way to get a “great” rating on a mission, here are some tips:

1. Concentrate more on taking care of your cargo than getting the mission done fast. Money matters more than time.2. Try different vehicles if you get stuck. You never know what will work.3. Don't always take the obvious path. Do what you have to to avoid the cops. (Remember, time is not of utmost importance.)4. Some missions, however, require a fast time. (Destroying enemy vehicles, etc.) The Granadier is probably the best destroyer.5. If all else fails, use the infinite countermeasures code. It makes things much easier.6. Be persistent. I had to try some missions 20+ times before I got a "great" rating. Good luck!

Second Token In Russian Winter

Ride west (to the left on the map) until you find the burned out village with smoking craters. A secret token is in one of them.

First Secret Token In Russia

Drive south until you reach the large body of water. A token sits on the biggest island, near the eastern part.

Second Secret Token In Russia

Find the village on the side of the hill. Drive down the hill to the river. The token is above the river, accessible by jumping off one of the riverbanks.

Second Secret Token In E. Europe

Drive northwest until you come tho the glacier. The token is around the edge of the glacier; somewhere in midair. You have to catch air off of a hill to nab it. (Use the ATV and speed boost.)

Second Secret Token In Vietnam

Drive up the river until you come to a small log bridge surrounded by rocks and weeds. The token is behind one of the rocks.

First Secret Token In N. America

Drive to the waterfall that’s farthest east. The token is hanging in midair, and can be nabbed by boosting off the waterfall or the cliff near it.

Second Secret Token In N. America

The second secret token in North America is under one of the many bridges. I forget which one it was, but it shouldn’t take long to search them all.

Last Secret Token In Russian Winter

Find the area that looks like a fort or military base. (Has a lot of tall stone arches and pillars.) The token is on one of the lower structures. You’ll need the vertical boost to get it.

Unlock Bonus Missions

If you collect all three tokens in a world, you unlock the single player bonus mission for that world. (Bonus missions are accessible under extras on the main screen. North America may not have any bonus missions.)

Front Flip

To do a front flip, you need speed, and a good size jump. Once you found that, go off the jump and hold the R button and you should do a flip. I did manage to do a back flip but I did it by luck.

Secret Token In Vietnam

To get the secret token in Vietnam, you need to be either the D-5 Hondo or the Baja Truck. It also helps to turn on the infinite counter-measure code [at the pause screen, press Y(3), X(2), Z(2)] You need to go to the open ocean part and find the volcano island that you seemingly can’t get to. Go out into the water, and when you start to sink, use your Vertical Boost counter-measure. Keep using this and heading towards the island until you make it. The token is on the island.

Get The Police Off Your Back
