#guaranty building

[oldshowbiz]

The Guaranty Building is a Hollywood Boulevard landmark built in 1923. The ground floor has been under renovation for years now and resembles a gigantic ballroom.

During its prime it housed the headquarters of lunatic columnist Hedda Hopper, the offices of the American Federation of Radio Artists, and the Don Marlowe Agency, which represented Bela Lugosi at the end of his career.

Located at the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Ivar Ave, it is just north of the roughest block directly off the Boulevard.

Most people think that the filthy and chaotic Hollywood Boulevard is a new phenomenon, but drug addicts were already breaking into the Guaranty Building in 1956.

Double life (ACTSV x reader x Batfam) 2

Part 1, Part 3

Summary: Reader struggles to get used to their new life in Gotham. Worrying constantly about her family in New York. A rise of tension rises between readers father figure Aaron and her real father Bruce.

After the dinner, you got yourself ready for bed. The old boombox player you had was playing soft music in the background.

You turned the lights off, slipped into bed and stared at absolutely nothing. Even with the soft music playing, you were just itching to break into your suit and jump from building to building. You were missing your life as Spider-Woman. You missed your aunt and uncles. You missed your cousin. He was literally your twin.

You practically bawled your eyes out while saying goodbye to him. Suddenly, your train of thought was broken when you heard a ringing sound. You sat you and grabbed your phone, for some reason, hoping that it was your mother calling, telling you she was going to be home late tonight.

It wasn't your mother, of course, it was Miles, your cousin. You happily accepted the call. "Miles! oh my God, I missed you!" You could hear the boy chuckle on the other side of the phone.

"We saw each other this morning."

You pout and groan "I know! but it feels like it's been days." You knew you were acting like a toddler, but don't you deserve to act like this? After the nights filled with crime, days filled with unwanted drama.

You and Miles stayed on the phone. Not much talking involved. Talking was too much to do, knowing that they couldn't say the usual 'See you tomorrow' or Miles reminding you to be safe on your little outings. You did end up crying at one point, which caused Miles to tear up, but you don't know that, and he would like to keep it that way.

The next few weeks went by in a blink of an eye, dinner most of the times ended up just being you and Alfred, which you understand, knowing Bruce is busy, and Damian doesn't really like you. Tim would join you for lunch at times. You soon found out Tim was a geek. Which made you talk and ramble off about your plans for the future. Besides from that, you were mostly alone in the house.

Now it was your first day of school, your uncle Aaron offered to drive you for your first day. You asked Bruce for permission first of course.

Bruce at first wanted to say no, but when he pondered about it. It would be good for you to be with someone you knew better to be with you on your first day.

But Bruce looked into Aron. The man was trouble, used to be involved in lots of bad people back in the day. Just to be safe, Bruce decided to tag along. This would also help Bruce get closer to you, get to know the real you.

Putting aside the formalities and the instant obedience you give him.

The doorbell rang, Alfred opened the door and see Aaron standing with a blank expression, one matching Alfreds. "Ah, Mister Davies. Lady Y/n is curently getting ready. Please follow me."

Without any words, Aaron follows Alfred to a room. Thats where he meets Bruce.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Davies." Bruce puts a smile on his face and extended his hand to greet. Aaron smiled a little and shook his hand

"Same here. And Aaron is fine."

The two men sat down and began to talk. It was normal, but only for a small amount of time. The tension in the room began to rise when Aaron's past was brought up.

". . . I admit. I went down the wrong path when I was younger. But I grew out of that mess. But if this is about Y/n, then I guaranty you she is nothing like me. She's a good girl."

"I know she is. I'm not suggesting anything Ill towards my daughter."

Aaron chuckled "Daughter? Don't take this personally. But she ain't your daughter. Not till she says so."

Before any real argument could be made, you came busting in the room. "Uncle Aaron!"

"Baby girl!" Aron at up and opened his arms for a hug.

You ran into the man's arms. Giggling as Aaron gave your head a kiss.

"Look at you. In your little uniform."

You smiled more and twirled around for Aaron to see the whole fit better. "You like it?"

"I love it."

The car ride was a little awkward, but at least it wasn't fully awkward.

Aaron gave you some money and a few good luck kisses and I love You's from Rio. You gave Bruce a hug goodbye.

It's been almost a month since Spider-woman was last seen. Tim did take an interest in this Spider-woman and was going to offer her to join the Young Justice League. You were just one person looking after New York all on your own, with no help. It was very impressive.

But now Spider-Woman was just nowhere to be seen. She has just gone MIA. Now the Prowler was taking care of the city. The media has gone crazy after the disappearance of Spider-woman.

'WHERE IS SPIDER-WOMAN?'

'SPIDER-WOMAN ON THE RUN?'

What did catch Tim's attention was the last time Spider-Woman was seen was the day Y/n's mother died. A lot of people were hurt that day Only one dead, which was your mother. Tim has come to a small theory that the death of your mother is connected to the disappearance of Spider-woman.

It's been a full week since you started school, the first day, teachers were really nice to you. They already knew about your mother, which had them pity you. And Bruce being your father made them extra nice. You already didn't like the kids. Seeing them as fake. Because they were. Those smiling faces, those empty words.

You knew them all too well. You do the same, fake knows fake, guess that's what you could call it. Damian was of course no help. Ignoring you as much as he could. Which you didn't actually care.

Why would you care for someone who clearly don't care for you? No need to waste any energy on him. You did take interest in a few clubs. You did need to pick one that you didn't have to attend all the time. One that didn't need too much of your attention. So, you picked the art club.

You saw how much kids were in there, with those number of kids, no one expects you to get to know them all, nor make friends with them all. There are also very talented kids in the club, and the art they do isn't your style, so you're not the best. Which was in a way, good to keep cover.

Right now, you were at the manor. Your uncle dropped off the extra books you left at his place. half of your room looked a section in a library. You knew there was a library in the manor. But they weren't your books. Even if Bruce insists that most of the things in the manor was also yours, that's not how you saw it.

The things you brought from New York was yours, the cloths, books, pictures. You just felt like a guest. Nothing else.

You were curently in your room, listening to a playlist Miles made for you. You were just finishing up your homework when you heard a knock on your door.

"Y/n? It's me, Bruce." The voice on the other side of the door spoke. "Come in!" You say, just loud enough for him to hear.

Bruce enters the room, when he sees you, a small smile graces his lips. You gave him an awkward smile as you wait for what he needed to tell you.

"My schedule is cleared out today. I was wondering if you wanted to go out shopping with me." Bruce was taking a look around your room. Looking at the items you kept on shelves, pictures. Trying to know what you would like, so he could buy something for you that was more of your style.

"And me!" Suddenly Dick popped out of the door with a bright smile on his face. "Nice room." Drick mumbled as he went near your bookshelf. Seeing what books, you were into.

"Ah. . . I would love to, sir- Bruce. But I don't got much on me." You had your own card, you had about 300 or 500 in. But you don't use it unless you're out and really need something to eat. On top of that, you kind of have a spending problem you need to control.

"No need to worry about that." Bruce pulled out his card "It's all on me."

You had no choice but to go with them. You sat in the back seat. Dick in the passenger seat while Bruce was driving. "How's school? make any friends?" Dick spoke up, turning down the volume of the radio. "Oh, it's alright. Me a few kids, they were pretty nice."

The car pulled up to a store. You walked in with the two men and started looking around. You saw plushies that looked really cute. "Can I get these?" You pointed at the plushies and looked up to Bruce for permision.

"Of course." Dick grabbed the plushies and you all started to get more things. Clothes, shoes. You were pretty satisfied with what you had. Bruce purchased what you had picked out, along with a few dresses Dick picked out for you.

Bruce was able to talk to you more. He knows that you like a lot of music genres, you seem to have a deep bond with your cousin Miles and your uncle Aaron. You speak highly of Miles, like he was a sun in the sky to praise.

Bruce was still hooked up on what Aaron had said. Bruce knows that he can't fix the sixteen years he missed in your life, but he wants to try and be there for you now. Try to break down that fake smile of yours.

What? You think he didn't notice.?

Bruce knows what pain looks like. And he can see it all over you. In your actions, your words. In your voice. Whatever makes you cry, whatever fears you have. Bruce will make them all go away. And he is determined to earn the title as your father. For you to finally call him by that title.

Because he's your father. And that's what fathers do.

Friends?

(Wednesday Addams x fem! reader)

Summary: One day, in the library, you catch Wednesday's attention... Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 Warnings: none a/n: expect a part 2, not proof read, it was in my drafts for like 3months now so I can't guaranty it's not awful (English isn't my first language, I'm sorry if there are mistakes or if something doesn't make sense TvT)

Wednesday pushed the library’s door and directly walked to the aisle she knew had the books she needed. After 10 minutes spent in said aisle, she let out a frustrated sigh; she couldn’t find the books, which meant someone either borrowed them already -which was unlikely, or the librarian forgot to put them back on the shelves.

Either way, it annoyed her.

Now she had to talk to the librarian to ask if the books were here, and it would probably take longer than necessary.

When she arrived at the desk with a blank expression, the woman was writing something on her computer, not sparing Wednesday a glance.

“I would like to borrow some books.” She said through gritted teeth, causing the librarian to look up

“What books?”

Wednesday put a piece of paper with the references of the books on the desk as an answer.

“Botanical curses & poisons, and The supernatural” the woman read out loud “You’re lucky, they’ve just got returned”

Wednesday raised an eyebrow. Even if she did think it could’ve happened, she was still surprised. She didn’t actually think anyone else would ever borrow these books. It wasn’t common seeing someone read that kind of books -or read at all. And usually Nevermore students only read the books in the school’s library.

She didn’t hear the door while she was in the aisle, which meant the person was still there. Maybe she had found a classmate with the same interests as her? Which didn’t mean she would try to befriend them, but it was always good to know.

“If you’re looking for the girl, she’s in the aisles over there” the librarian said, as she had already put the books on the desk

Wednesday looked at her, a frown on her face, but nodded once and grabbed the books.

She then walked to the aisles the woman talked about. And here you were, looking at the books on the shelves, reading the back of one while holding another in your arms; Royal art of poison. Wednesday had read that book before, she recognize it was a good one.

Her attention then shifted on your face, even if she could only see your profile. She was sure she never saw you at Nevermore. She usually had a good memory for that kind of things, so maybe you didn’t have classes in common.

After looking you up and down, she walked out of the building to go back to Nevermore.

On the way there, she couldn’t help but think if she had seen you in the hallways, she would’ve never thought you would read this type of books.

<><><><> ♡ <><><><>

The following week, Wednesday tried to find you in the school. Unconsciously at first, as she didn’t really care, but then it became more and more important to her as she couldn’t seem to see you. That frustrated her. You had to be somewhere.

And yet she couldn’t find you.

She always got what she wanted, it was unusual for her to ‘fail’. So naturally, she decided to go back to the library.

When she did, she wandered in the aisles, looking for you. Unsuccessfully. It was like you didn’t even exist.

She felt like she was losing her mind, and it wasn’t as fun as she anticipated.

Just as she was about to go back in the aisle she saw you in for the first time, she saw Thing out of the corner of her eye. He was pointing a nearby aisle, signaling you were in there.

You were indeed in the aisle, looking at the books on the shelf in front of you. Venomous was already in your hands. A book about earth’s deadliest creatures… Wednesday thought.

Then your hand rose up to pick up another book; The Black Dahlia.

Now Wednesday was really interested by you. She never met anyone who knew about her favorite unsolved murder case, let alone read about it.

She took some step closer to you and grabbed a book on the shelf.

“You might as well read this one, if you’re interested in the Black Dahlia case.” she said as she handed you the book

You gave her a surprised look, not expecting anyone to recommend you any books in that section, let alone about this case.

“Oh, thanks” you grabbed the book “Do you know much about this case?”

“Of course, for it is my favorite unsolved murder. How come you know about it?”

“I saw a documentary on tv yesterday. Just thought I’d read some more about it. It seems to be a very interesting case” you explained

“Indeed.” A little pause “So what are you? Werewolf? Siren? Psychic?”

You frowned, confused as to why she would ask that.

“Are you from Nevermore?” you asked

“Are you not?”

You shook your head.

“I’m at Jericho High, sadly”

“‘Sadly’?”

You nodded.

“There’s a bunch of idiots there. Like- a whole bunch. I don’t really fit in. They’re all about social medias, hating on outcasts for no reason”

Wednesday looked at you, waiting for you to continue and explain yourself.

“I prefer books, even if I have to admit that scrolling on Pinterest while listening to music can be addicting. As for outcasts… I’ve always been interested in them, especially vampires. But I mean- every ‘class’ of outcasts I read about was interesting”

The raven took a moment to think about what you just said.

“It’s unusual to see a normie who doesn’t hate outcasts. Are you sure you’re a normie?”

“Pretty sure, yeah”

She looked you up and down after that, analyzing you. You seemed to be honest, she didn’t sense any hostility coming from you.

The following days, Wednesday caught herself thinking about your conversation, and by extension, about you. As much as it pained her to admit, something in you attracted her. Or at least made her ant to know more about you, which led her to the library once again.

This time, you were sitting at a table, reading another book about poisonous plants, some other books stacked next to you.

“Are you planning to murder someone?” she asked as she sat on the chair facing you

“Holy shit…! Do you make a habit out of scaring people?” you asked, half joking, a hand on your chest after her voice made you jump

“It’s more of a hobby. Who is going to be your victim?”

“No one!” you chuckled, once your heartbeat calmed down a bit “I’m just trying to find information about Aconitum, like where it grows, etc”

“Why?”

“I want to experiment with it myself, simple curiosity” you shrug

So you did want to poison someone. Interesting. She thought.

“No, no, I can guess what you’re thinking. I’m not trying to kill anyone. But you never know when that kind of information can be useful”

“Indeed.” she nodded, even if she was a bit disappointed

“And if I did want to kill someone, I would probably use something else like Nightshade or the Nerium Oleander -but I’d have to find some first” you added “Anyways, I need to go, I have class… See you later, maybe?”

Wednesday looked at you as you packed your things and left the library, not without putting the books back on their shelves. You definitely had a little something that made her look forward to the next time she would be in your company. That thought surprised her; she usually wasn’t one to seek others’ company.

She stayed sat at the table for a few minutes, lost in thoughts, before standing up almost abruptly. She walked to the door and was about to leave, when the librarian called her.

“Hey, wait a sec!”

Wednesday turned to face the woman who got out from behind her desk. She handed something.

“What is that?”

“A micro-cassette recorder. It must have fallen from your friend’s bag when she left. I thought you could give it back to her”

“She’s not my friend.” Wednesday said blankly but took the object anyways

The librarian rolled her eyes at the smaller girl and went back to her desk while Wednesday left the library, putting your recorder in her backpack.

“What’s that?”

Wednesday looked up from her typewriter; Enid was holding the recorder.

“A micro-cassette recorder.” she simply said “Put it back where it was, Enid.”

“Oooh what are you doing with it? Recording podcasts? I thought your thing was novels” the blonde continued, not listening

“‘My thing’ is novels.”

“Then what’s on this recorder?”

Before the raven could say anything else, the werewolf pressed the play button.

“Okay… Is it recording? Ah, yes, the numbers are moving. Okay okay… um… Where do I even start? God I must look so dumb talking to that thing… Anyways. Uh… Day 1 of research on outcasts, I guess? Is that how they do in movies?”

The recorder stopped playing, for Wednesday had pressed the button again, taking it from Enid’s hands.

“Whose voice is that? It’s not yours”

“Of course not. It’s…” she paused, looking for the right words “… it belongs to someone I met at the library.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about her?? I want to know everything!”

“There’s nothing to say.”

“Why do you have her recorder then?”

“She forgot it. I just keep it until I can give it back.”

“Hmhm, sure”

Enid said with a big smile, before going back to her activities: laying on her bed and scroll on Instagram, probably. The other girl watched her do so, then went back to her writing, putting the recorder on her desk.

After half an hour of peaceful writing, she heard Enid tell her she was going in Yoko’s dorm for whatever gossip session they had every week. From the corner of her eye, Wednesday saw the recorder move closer to her.

Thing was pushing it in her direction.

“What is it?”

“Don’t you want to hear more?” Thing signed

“I wouldn’t like it if anyone read my novel without asking me first.”

“But you’re curious”

“… Of course.”

“Listen to it then! Maybe you’ll be able to help her. She seems nice, she won’t get upset” Thing signed quickly, almost as curious as Wednesday to hear your research

“Fine. Give it to me.”

Thing pushed the recorder further so she could grab it. She did, and pressed play again, but not after a glance at Thing.

“A word to Enid and I’ll snap all your fingers.”

“Hmhm… so I borrowed this book in Jericho’s library about outcasts -I’m surprised they have books about that considering the way they see them. I think it was a pretty interesting book!”

Wednesday listened to what you had to say on that book, then fast-forwarded to a bit later on the record.

“… lost count of the days at this point. It’s crazy how I can’t find anything more than what I already read! It’s like normies’ knowledge about outcast is only the basics -not to say the clichés. God, I wish I was at Nevermore. I’m sure they have sooo much more books there. Not only about outcasts, but about poisonous plants as well!”

The raven was about to stop listening when you started speaking again.

“Oh, yesterday, I met a girl at the library! She advised me to read a certain book about The Black Dahlia case. She said she was from Nevermore. Well, she didn’t deny it. I wonder what’s her gift… But it’s a weird question to ask, isn’t it? I bet she knows lots of outcasts if she studies there…  of course she does, what I am even saying?”

The record stopped by itself after that.

Wednesday had the tiniest smile on her face. You were smart, that she had noticed when you first talked, yet hearing you speak freely like that made you sound so clumsy. You were passionate, that was for sure.

“Thing, do you think you can find her quickly?”

A knock on your bedroom window caught your attention. Your stopped what you were doing and opened it. To your surprise, a hand -without a body- ran (?) in your room.

You looked at it, mouth agape, certainly not expecting that.

“Hi…?” you said hesitantly

The hand stopped on your desk and starting signing.

“I uh… don’t speak sign language… sorry”

The hand paused, as if it was sighing.

“You can… hear me?” you asked, surprised

It gave you a thumbs up as an answer, before showing its palm to you. A message was written on it with a marker: ‘You forgot your recorder at the library. Call me.’ Followed by a phone number.

 “Thank you”

You said while typing the number on your phone, before calling it.

On the other side, Wednesday was waiting in front of Enid’s computer. She remembered how to use it from last time Enid told her. When she saw you were calling, she pressed the spacebar to pick up.

She certainly didn’t expect to see you with Thing on your shoulder.

“Hi!” you said with a smile “So you found my recorder? I was afraid someone random found it…” you paused “Your room is… more colorful that I would’ve imagined”

“It’s my roommate’s side.” Wednesday frowned, a bit offended you could think she would decorate her room this way

“Oh. What does your side looks like then?”

She turned Enid’s computer to show you -quite proudly.

“Ohh it’s nice! Wait- you have a typewriter?? That’s so cool! Like the overall decoration”

Thing typed lightly on your shoulder.

“Oh, yes, sorry. He’d like me to drive him back to Nevermore. Which I can understand, it’s a bit far away… So, we were wondering if you could open a window or something? I don’t think your principal would appreciate if someone from outside came without permission”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“I know. Let’s say it’s for keeping my recorder safe, that way we’re even” you smiled

Wednesday nodded, and said she would open their window, just before your parents called you from downstairs, asking who you were talking to. While you were answering them, Thing gave the raven a thumbs up.

Of course it was your plan all along, bringing her here… she thought, a slight smile forming on her lips again. Well played.

After going out by your bedroom window, took your bike, put Thing in the little basket attached to the handlebar, and started making your way to Nevermore. On the way there, you talked with Thing; he used your phone to type and made it read the text out loud so you could hear.

When you arrived at Nevermore’s gate, you left your bike against the low wall near the entrance. To your surprise, the gate wasn’t closed -which was a good thing. You got on the school’s territory, walking silently to the school itself.

You had only ever seen it in pictures, and you had to admit, it was way cooler to see it for real.

Thing tapped your shoulder, bringing you back to reality, and pointing at a big round window with a metallic spider web on it. It was probably the dorm you had to reach.

“You could’ve told me it was on the fourth floor…”

You examined the architecture of the school, before cracking your knuckles and starting to climb.

“If I fall… I hope I won’t break too many bones”

After what seemed like an eternity, and three times almost falling, you finally reached the balcony. You took a moment to lay there, catching your breath, Thing patting your arm reassuringly.

He then disappeared inside and came back with the raven right as you were standing back up.

“Thing said you were hurt.” Wednesday said, her eyes shifting from your face to your hands, bruised by the climbing

“Oh, it’s okay. I’ve done rock-climbing with my parents before, I’m used to it”

“… If you say so.” she paused, and handed you your recorder

“I almost forgot about it” you chuckled, taking it from her hands and putting it in a pocket of your vest “Thank you”

Wednesday nodded. You did the same, as a goodbye, and were ready to go back home, when she spoke again.

“If you want more books about outcasts or something else…” she stepped forward and gave you a piece of paper “… let me know.”

You took the paper and opened it. Another phone number. You had guessed the previous one wasn’t hers, and according to what Thing told you, she never used the phone some guy gifted her.

You smiled and put the paper in your pocket.

“Thank you”

You were about to leave, but you remembered something.

“You never told me your name”

“Neither did you.”

“I’m Y/n. Y/n L/n”

“Wednesday. Wednesday Addams.”

“It was nice seeing you, Wednesday” you smiled “It’s probably going to sound weird… But I enjoy your presence, I feel understood. I hope we’ll be good friends. Anyways, good night!”

With that, you climbed down the wall, disappearing from her field of view.

Wednesday looked at the sky; it was dark, lots of clouds, but the moon was still visible behind them. It even illuminated the raven’s face.

Thing tapped in her direction.

“I only tolerate her presence. Don’t imagine things.”

More tapping, and what looked like he was rolling his eyes.

“One more word and you’re locked in the drawer until I decide otherwise.”

Thing saw it as the sign to go back inside, not wanting to risk it.

When she was alone on the balcony, Wednesday’s eyes shifted to your small form while you were getting on your way home.

Her little smile was back, that smile which was so unusual to see on her face, that only the people she really cared about ever saw.

Friends, hm? I suppose that’s what we are.

I needed to make a post off of this one because... it just explains so much more. This hits so many new tones now- this show is known for their layers and callbacks and now going back to that moment even though it was wrong, he made Keeley practically bid for him as a trauma response. He had another lady he knew bid on him, almost guarantied as a safety net. This man has never known a lick of peace as a child. As a teen. Hell, his father took him to the redlight district to become a man at fourteen years old. A night that Jamie even now, comes to barely remember most likely because he blocked it out. Hell, if he was in the district, god knows if his father was making him do to forget or to be more of a man. a child being forced to lose his virginity to an adult because a parent said that was what you needed to be a man. From a man who abused him constantly. Verbally. Physically. Mentally. Every form imaginable up to present day. Topping that- his mother wasn't exactly in the picture- did she know how bad he was and left him with his father? His mother never fought for him. He has been alone. Building those walls to be like his dad because no one ever messed with him. Jamie Tartt as far as we know, up until AFC Richmond, has not known a father figure, a friend, no support system, no healthy relationships. The one person he found solace in as a kid, the man who he had a poster of on his wall, and someone who coached him one on one for several months while knowing he was being used as an emotional punching bag {and dealt with because in a sense, trauma response, used to it}, feels safe enough to tell him this. Feels free enough around him. Jamie found sanctuary in the one man who he idolized for years. and you bet your ass Roy Kent will protect his loved ones and family. Jamie has found a family in Richmond, and has found that and more in Roy fuckin' Kent.

Pages 19-24 / Pages 31-35

There it is ! Finaly.

But that's not all ! There are still 2 parts I have yet to share !

So stay tuned ! I should post them in a few hours, just let me time to type.

[probably-mae]

I am not a writer, english is not m'y first language, i never wrote anything, yet something possesed me to spend 3hrs writing this in m'y notes app, its probably bad

When i opened m'y eyes i already knew.

M'y existence was the copy of another.

And that other was in another universe living a (mostly) peacfull life.

While that didnt exactly bother me i was mostly curious on how in the hell i had gained awarness of m'y situation, i mean, i was supposed to be a Silly idea poorly written down in the note app of m'y phone, nothing more, nothing else. No one exept myself knew the existence of the little self-insert one-shot...

Gosh i never tougth i'd say that one day but m'y life beforehand didnt suck that much knowing what is to come.

If it we're in any other universe i could have decided to stay far away from the plot, faint ignorance of m'y origins and live peacefully in corner of the story but no. M'y idiotic ass had to have a fixation on a World in ruin where the only guaranty for survival whould be sticking around the plot armors (main characters). i am also painfully aware that part of why i even exist is to interact with those people so there is a chance that i will disapear if i dont, wich even if i am not actually real (probably) , i'd rather avoid. I migth not be the real deal but her and i are both humans and we agree on the fact that death is not an option.

M'y first reflex was to look at m'y environnent, as expected i was standing in the visibly ruined remnents of Seoul, while not verry familiar with Korean cities i knew i was standing in what used to be a pretty Big street before most of the buildings were turned into rubble, wich made the road more look more like an abandoned construction site. It was rather calm for a ruined city full with monsters, wich meant i probably was ethier in a rather empty area or arrived in the cooldown between two senarios. There was no one in sigth wich was honestly for the best as rigth now m'y main concern whould be stranger danger.

While the street seemed safe it still felt wierd to be in a such exposed area alone so m'y first moove was to go in the nearestest somehow safe looking alley.

The alley was a small dead end, dark enough to hide me from any eyes outside of it but bright enough for me to see where i put m'y feet.

I wasnt sure how to open those damn menu windows or however they were called and regreted the fact that she never got into the story itself enough to know more on how interfaces worked. seriously why did the characters have to be so well written, i sighed, what is done is done. After one or two tries i got the hang of it, seems like those window things actually went that hard to figure out. Luckily for me i actually could read m'y own atribute window (unlike the damn main character sucks to suck lol) and the content of it while not beeing shocking wasnt that bad with the average stats and basic survival skills and, ahhhh, the famous "special ability" granted by the plot to make the story interesting.

"Painfully aware ?"

Well if that isnt a fun name.

-> Painfully aware [lvl.1]

unique ability

Grants the user awarness over their situation.

Thats it? Seriously? Well thats just boring! No super cool power??? Also how the Fuck do i level up beeing aware ????

Ughhhh the original really has it good.

_________

After a while of me messing with atribute window stuff i realised a few things, first of all one of m'y skills let me understand most languages and be able to speak them, wich whould be life saving due to the fact that i dont speak Korean at all, props to beeing bilangual ig, secondly i dont have a sponsor wich i wasnt sure if its was a good thing or not and tird it was just a few days before the scenario with the flood catastrofy wich could be an oportunity or just hell due to how late in the scenarios and how early it was. Be damned author.

Beeing lost m'y tougths is nice and all but i better find the main group as soon as i Can so i start moving, finding people is m'y first step.

________

After runing for a bit, as much as i hate to admit it those damn stats are a huge help for m'y horrible endurance, i finally found a group of people, the area is vaguely familiar and pray that im rigth when i guesse where i am. Looking in the crowd i look for one specific little girl-

[A constellation is curious about you]

Uh?

A constellation ? Rigth. I wasnt expecting to see a message this early on tho. I didnt even think about it to be honest. Will i get to see more constellations then the ones i read about ? Its whould be cool ! Tho m'y life is kinda at risk rigth now so, back to looking for,, oh. Well that makes it easier, just a few metters away here they are two womans a man and a kid in a building, seems like sooyoung didnt ditch them just yet. Uh. Now what? So far beeing here didnt need any human interactions so it was fine, but now? Its kinda nerve wrecking, i mean all of them are scarily strong and on edge of strangers, wich is totally fair and i in all honesty got nothing going for them to keep me alive. I didnt think of that. Ughhhh,,

[A constellation is asking why are you just standing around]

Rigth. From an outside perspective i probably look wierd, im surprised theres still a constellation looking what at im doing, i only have been walking so far.

",, im not sure either"

__________

"Hey rat" Sooyoung called

"Mmh?"

"Theres a wierdo just standing outside" she pointed toward a seemingly zoning out teenager

Dokja stoped watching his incarnation training to look at what she was pointing

A foreigner? How unlucky. Tho they probably knew Korean since they survived until now.

"Should we do something about them?" Sooyoung's question reminded him of the situation tho it didnt seem like the teen whould be a potential treat, they were alone and didnt look like any major characters in the novel

"They dont seems like a treat" Sangah chimed in

Sooyoung just started at her then looked back at him

"Sanga's rigth, they dont even look like they noticed us"

As if to just proove him grong the teen started walking toward them

They all got on guard as the stranger aproached.

",,hi?"

They, no, she seemed wierdly as surprised as them when she spoke. Her Korean was wierdly almost perfect with no aparent accent.

"Hum, please put the weapons down, i dont have one and im not looking for a fight."

"What are you then? A beggar? I knew sharing food was a bad idea!" Sooyoung took a step closer to the strange girl

"Uh, well not exactly? I mean some food whould be nice but im not here for that, i uh,, got info?"

"Info? Then i think you should go see Somewhere else, we got everything we need." Dokja didnt know what but something about this was wierd. Other than what the teen was saying, there was something telling him that she wasnt supposed to be here.

The teen took a minute to think of an answer the spoke confidently

"I know about the novel."

What? No way, he tougth all the other readers were dead, well exept one or two but how did she know they also knew?

"What." Sooyoung said before he could

"Yoosung, Sangah please wait we need to talk with her privatly"

___________

GOSH THIS IS NERVE WRECKING. HOW DID THE SQUID DO IT SO SMOOTHLY??? Rigth the fucking 4th wall, lucky bastard is lucky his author at least gave him something usefull as an ability. Like what. Ghhhh welp what mattered was the fact that is that i got them to not instant kill me. Wich is good! But now im cornered between two fully capable of killing me adult suspicious of me.

"So. When are you gonna speak?" Sooyoung is scary gosh

"You're scaring the kid" Dokja stated, thanks blury face but you are also scary with your fake polite smile.

"Still, she's rigth, how did know we also knew?"

Sigh.

"I could lie and say that it was a lucky guesse but its whouldnt be effective since sooyoung's here" that made both of them react

"How the Fuck do you know m'y name and m'y ability?!" She was almost screaming at this point, Dokja looked surprised aswell but didnt speak

"As i was gonna say, i have info about a bunch of stuff. Future, past, present and not only the ones from the novel. The one from this timeline or however you wanna call it."

"How?" Is all the white jacket said while the other one was still processing

"I am painfully aware of whats going on" is all i said, trying to stop myself from laughing at m'y own joke, knowing im the only one that could get it

[Han sooyoung comfirms you're telling the truth]

"Thats not an answer! You just gave me more questions!!" Damn she is pissed,, i whouldnt have name dropped her,,,

Woops

"So what do you want with us?" Thank you for going back on track Dokja

" Keep me alive in exange of info, i wont reveal things that change things too much, dont change any of your plans, just make sure to give me food and i wont bother you." I dont want my existence to change the plot. Is what i didnt add

"Why are you asking us help if you have all that info?" Rigth, good question main character

"I may have info but im still a teen with no group."

"Fair, whats your name? " Ah. Yes. M'y name. Should i use her name? No. It whouldnt be fair. I was created in image of her, yes but i have a mind of m'y own, i think.

"Lilac."

"Also before you Ask i wont reveal anything about major events due to the fact that so far, your doing pretty good changing the original plot" i Hope they wont get cocky cuz of it tho. No the 4th wall should enough and Han sooyoung,, uh she'll be fine.

____________

I was introduced to the two other after a few more questions and signing a contract of non agresion with Dokja like the one he used with Sooyoung. So far Yoosung seems wary of me but i dont blame her, i try m'y best not to disturb everyone while they do their things, Sangah, just like what i expected is polite and acomodating while not really knowing how to interact, wich i Can totally relate to. I spent most of the day trying skills that didnt need a target around the area.

I ate and slept, avoiding the penalty. Good! First day beeing created survived! That nigth i also discovered that i get tranfered the memories of m'y 'creator's' day in m'y sleep, good, it means i whould get updates on the story, and well my memories migth be a copy but i still care about whats going on over there. Im not a source reader, i read the webtoon, so i dont know everything, but i know enough to survive for now.

Thats it, im never writing again ����

Non Hurrem/Suleyman Scenes I Wish Had Been In The Series

**After Suleyman Returns To Find Hurrem Has Been Burned**

Suleyman questions everyone surviving Hurrem to find out how she's been doing scenes the attack. He's told she rarely leaves her chambers, she has the main entrance to her chambers bard every night and sleeps with a knife. Suleyman then calls an architect to design and build a new set of chambers contacted to his.

A few days later word begins to spread through the harem about the new chambers Suleyman has ordered. Hafsa and Mahidevran assume that the new chambers are for Mustafa.

**Sometime After Suleyman Returns To Find Hurrem Has Been Burned**

Suleyman has been back in Tapioca for a few weeks when Hurrem starts acting angry and jumpy. When he ask she says it's just nerves, so he questions Sumbal and Daya and is informed that Fatma the concubine responsible for burning Hurrem was brought back to the palace. Suleyman is furious and orders that Fatma be taken to the dungeons while he goes to comfort his mother.

**Immediately After Learning About Fatma**

Suleyman storms into the Valid Sultan's Cambers looking furious. Hafsa asks what's troubling him. Suleyman angrily confronts his mother about Fatma not only being brought back into the harem, but the fact that it's obvious that she wasn't truly punished. Hafsa try's to defend her actions to Suleyman despite the fact that he's obviously not buying it. At one point she says something that causes Suleyman to almost hit her, he stops himself before he even lifts his hand. He ends the conversation by telling her he will handle Fatma's punishment. He also tells her she needs to dismiss Gulsah because he will be appointing the new harem overseer.

**The Day After Suleyman's Confrontation With His Mother**

Suleyman has his mother and Mahidevran come to the viewing room used to over look events in the courtyard. There wondering why Suleyman has called them there, when he walks out. Their shocked to see him followed by Fatma who is being dragged by guards and an executioner. After Fatma is executed Suleyman looks up at the screen his mother and Mahidevran are standing behind before walking back into the palace.

**A Few Days After Fatma's Execution**

Word about Fatma's execution has spread through the harem. The concubines are gossiping and speculating about what this means for Valid Sultan's possession and the future of the harem. Sumbal inters to announce that Suleyman's has summoned Afife Hutan to take over as overseer of the harem, instead of Gulsah who Hafsa's chose.

**Early Season Three**

After her luncheon for the wives of Pasha and other high ranking men in the empire Hurrem holds a second uncheon for the wives and daughters of the foreign ambassadors. This event is held in the main area of the harem. Hurrem is using the mystery and speculation other countries have about the harem to guaranty the attendance of the women she's invited.

_I'm specifically basing this off of the scene in MC:K when Farya enters the harem for the first time._

**Early Season One Not Long Before Suleyman Returns From Campaign**

Hurrem is setting in her private chambers with Maria embroidering a blanket for the baby. Maria tells Hurrem that she's been worried that she'll be replaced as her concubine because she's not Muslim so she's going to talk to Sumbal about converting. Hurrem tells her she doesn't have to do that, she'll talk to Suleyman to make sure that doesn't happen. Maria responses that she rather do everything possible to make sure there not separated. Hurrem leans over and hugs Maria thanking her.

**The Night Hurrem Gives Birth To Mehmed**

Ibrahim has ordered Gulnihal to be sent to Halvet. As Sumbal is taking her to be prepared she's protesting that she can't do this to Hurrem. Sumbal tells her to keep quiet and when she's in left alone with Suleyman to introduce herself by her old name and nothing will happen. She nods her head and says okay, then keeps quiet while she's prepared.

When she's left alone with Suleyman she introduces herself as Maria, then drops to her knees and say she can't be here because it would break Hurrem's heart. Suleyman realizing that this is Hurrem's Maria who he'd given Sumbal instructions not to send to halvet he's furious. She gives an explanation that Ibrahim picked her and that there was probably confusion because she'd just converted and has been given her new name.

After Suleyman has calmed down they began talking with Maria telling Suleyman stories about Hurrem and her life before the harem with Maria telling him she was revealed to see Hurrem finally starting to live again. A few hours into their conversation Sumbal arrives to inform Suleyman that Hurrem is in labor.

**Season One Early Into Hurrem's First Pregnancy**

Hafsa tells Daya she has decided to marry Hurrem off while Suleyman is on campaign. Daya asks if she'd like her to take Hurrem to be examined immediately to confirm she's not pregnant or wait until a groom has been selected. Hafsa tells her to have the exam done immediately because she doesn't need the stress of having to back out of and engagement if she is pregnant.

_Hafsa trying to marry Hurrem off without finding out if she's pregnant or not was one of her stupidest designs in the inter series._

Nothing more stressful than knowing you are loosing your job next month and you have to quickly find a job to not go under, but you cant build a new portfolio with your recent work yet because you are under NDA. Gives me immense pressure as an artist, since i feel my art will never be good enough for the big industry taste. Might open my commission if necessary to have a little income, cant guaranty yet, since i still need to set up shop on kofi. but man its stressful since professional job is scarce and highly competitive where i am, im just a lil fish in a sea of incredible talents.

EFCC declares Leno Adesanya, promoter of Sunrise Power, wanted

ABUJA – Leno Adesanya has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Adesanya is the promoter of Sunrise Power and Transmission Ltd.

In a notice issued on Tuesday, the EFCC said Adesanya is wanted “in an alleged case of conspiracy and corrupt offer to public officers”.

Adesanwa was mentioned in three out of the seven-count charges preferred against Olu Agunloye, former minister of power and steel.

The EFCC is prosecuting Agunloye over the $6 billion Mambilla hydropower contract.

Reported that EFCC traced some suspicious payments made by Sunrise Power and Transmission Ltd to Agunloye’s bank accounts.

In one of the counts, the EFCC alleged that on August 10, 2019, Agunloye “corruptly received the sum of N3,600,000.00” through his Guaranty Trust Bank account no.0022530926 from Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited (SPTCL) and Leno Adesanya for approving the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station project.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had challenged Agunloye to tell Nigerians where he derived the authority to award a $6 billion contract to Sunrise for the Mambilla hydropower project in 2003.

Sunrise Power is in arbitration with Nigeria at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Paris, France, alleging a breach of contract.

The company said it was awarded a $6 billion build, operate and transfer (BOT) contract in May 2003 by the Obasanjo administration but that the federal government repudiated the agreement.

Sunrise is asking for a compensation of $2.3 billion, claiming it had spent millions of dollars on financial and legal consultants before the contract was jettisoned.

In its defence at the arbitration, the Nigerian government is alleging fraud and corruption of public officials in the award of the contract.

The matter is similar to the P&ID case in which a UK court nullified an $11 billion award against the country for the same reasons.

Something a little lighter during this rough week.

My kid loves Marry Poppins, so I have rewatched the film a bunch of times recently, and have head cannon for said 60 year old movie of an even older book. It is thus.

Marry Poppins is a feminist anarchosocialist witch that was watching over the home of the most important financier of the women’s suffrage movement in Britain. This is why the movie opens with her in the clouds. Seeing that the current nanny for the house was complete shite, she infiltrates the Banks family. She causes the wind to blow Jane and Micheal’s kite away in order to get the current nanny to quit. Maybe she also charmed the nanny. I wouldn’t put it past her, Marry Poppins is thorough.

Once the call for new nanny’s goes out, she blows the rest of the applicants away, guarantying herself the position. Now that she is in close proximity to Winnifred, she can better protect her and ensure she can stay part of the movement. However, her new position also gives her proximity to money and power. So does MP waste her time? No, she engages in active sabotage on the capitalist patriarchy.

First, she enlists the assistance of semi magical revolutionary agent, known as Burt. He helps her ingratiate herself with Jane and Micheal, and assists her in casting the ritual “kill billionaires”, or as it is referred to in the film “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. The next day she makes plans to meet up with an agent to crash the fishing industry, but Burt directs Andrew to intercept her as the agent has been compromised. They spend the rest of the day building an alibi.

Marry P then manipulates Mr banks into taking the children to the bank after she casts “run on the banks” on Micheals allowance, and sets it to go off if a banker tries to steal it. A side effect of the spell is teaching Micheal to value money as a way to do good in the world. As he is entering a bank and would never willingly relinquish even 2 pence to a house of patriarchal power, the trap’s success is a forgone conclusion.

M Pop now has a free day to partake in less child friendly forms of sabotage. She sends Burt to check on the children while she is out.

She meets up with them later and ritual casts “change of heart” on Mr banks with Burt’s help. This is the final step in “kill billionaires” while also ensuring Mr banks doesn’t seek divorce due to his inability to father his children or form any sort of meaningful relationship with Winifred.

Mr. Banks then goes to get sacked by the fiduciary bank people. The bank is crafty though. They have old magical rituals (typical patriarchal hazing) to destroy Mr. Banks will, thus making it impossible for anybody but the strongest witch to cast kill billionaires, and they have cast “patriarchy” on every stone used to build the bank. Making it impossible for a witch to enter the building.

However, Marry Poppins is not some conjurer of cheap tricks. She has sent Mr. Banks with the spell instead. Her aura of positivity has suffused every person that Mr. Banks loves, and he easily over comes the hazing spell and casts supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Mr. Dawes dies, Mr Banks gets rehired back into the bank because of the vacancy at the bank (they are too lazy to train a new guy). This is according to plan (so Winnifred is still able to finance the suffragette movement) and she floats off to continue her tireless support of women and the working class.

Hi! I read your post about your work. I've been in a similar situation before. I was miserable and my mental health and confidence in myself were really taking a hit from it. I searched for another job, which wasn't easy. I ended up taking on a temp job somewhere else (despite me being so insecure about that because it was only a temp job for 3 months with no guaranty that I'd be able to stay on longer). I quit the toxic place. It was the best decision I've ever made. Even though the next job was only a temp job, the people there were so nice that it gave me my confidence back. It wasn't me, it was a toxic boss who just had it out for me for some reason. I'm quiet as well, maybe it was because of that, because they think we won't say anything back.

I really hope you'll be able to find a solution/another job and I wish you all the best

Hey! Thank you so much for reading all of that and taking the time to reply. It really means a lot.

At first, I was just annoyed and slightly dreading work, but after last week, I am straight up terrified. I know it sounds so silly and pathetic to be afraid of a job and my boss, but I am. It's mostly because I know that no matter what she says about me or does to me, I am unable to defend myself. I was in an abusive relationship for many years, and was bullied in school, so maybe that's why I keep sticking around. I don't know.

I truly don't understand. I will admit that I'm not a perfect teacher, but I build relationships with the kids, and most of them love me. I would understand her having a problem with me if I was habitually late, called in sick a lot, was always on my phone, or was disrespectful. But I am none of those things. I am a hard worker and am reliable. Whenever my boss needs someone to work later or to come to work earlier, I am the one they ask. And I always do it. For a long time, I would be the one who closed in the evenings. So I don't get her issue. I'm good enough when she needs someone to stay late or come in early, but I'm not good enough to be a lead teacher or plan my own curriculum.

It's never going to get better, and I feel so hopeless and defeated. I've never been a confident person, but what little confidence I had has been stolen by her. On top of that, I live in an extremely rural area, so finding a job is difficult. All the good jobs are at least 45 minutes away, and I just can't afford to commute that far. In my area, the main jobs are in the fast food or production fields. I've put in a ton of applications but haven't heard anything yet. I don't know what to do, but I know that I can't keep doing this job. It's killing me.

Thank you again, anon. I appreciate you.
