1st Nov - Ashton had finish teaching his physics lecture for the undergrad students that morning, with nothing else to do on campus after that, he brought his thesis work from the labs back home (alongside a birthday gift or two from his graduate mates), rather avoiding the evening rush hour if he stayed. He buried his head in his research until he hears the screams, the crashes, the gunshots, and he looked up and out towards the direction docks and the colour drained from his face. He called his mother who was in Minnesota alone, letting her know he was alright, that everything will be alright. And that's the last he heard from her. he didn't sleep that first night.

2nd Nov - He pulled out the handgun he had locked up all these years, stepping in to join the group that was looking to help the caretaker secure the building, more than happy being at the front lines pushing back the zombies.

3rd Nov - ashton's birthday :c

4th-15th Nov - ashton goes in and out between helping organise their new normal, helped Rosie sort out the garden, continued his thesis work, tried contacting his mom again to no avail. Tried reaching his university, silence. Tried reaching his own military contacts, silence. He started volunteering to go outside and do recons, find survivors, and just do something to figure out what the fuck was going on. it wasn't always approved but when he did, he tried to bring back valuable information on the zombies and any survivors.

16th Nov - after the crash, Tobias shared the radio they found in the ambulance with Ashton to take a look and see what can be done. He devotes more of his time in fixing the radio, as well as trying to make contact with the military. He starts monitoring horde movements from the rooftop daily, helping map out safe routes for scout and recon missions. They were left to fend of themselves, losing hope for help to come anytime soon, so scavenging, raiding and looting had begun. He does his best to bring back what some of the residents request on scouting and scavenging missions. still in denial and working on his thesis when he has nothing else to do.

17th Nov - Sweet potatoes that had been growing over the fall originally meant for scientific research, had been harvested before winter came. The residence now have a large amount of sweet potatoes curing away some to be used early on and others to be kept for the long term months away.

18th Nov - Ashton turned on his phone again, hoping for something different, hoping to contact his mother, or just even send a text to make sure she's okay. Still no service. No signal. No hope. Ria joins him at the diner for their meal before the chaos struck. He last saw Courtney a day or two ago on the roof, she performed a beautiful piece in front of him, and now she's chomping on someone else. They were too far from the action to be useful but Ash went to go track down those bitten and escaped, with Nat and Ria taking down the poor old lady that once shared tea with him when he first moved in.. and then he went off to get his gun to clear out the higher floors, making sure no infected was left, checking in on the residents, putting the poor guy that hid in his apartment and died and turned all alone out of his misery. When everything went quiet, no more groans and screams, he did a sweep before meeting Zach by the staircase helping lift the last of the bodies into the second floor Atrium where they did a head count and mourned for the dead. He couldn't sit around and not do anything and be useless and so he brought out the radio once more. He was missing something he was sure, and he knew it'll click sooner or later. With Zach and Nat's help, they finally figured out the radio and Ash fixes it with a sharp crackle into the first joys of audio they've heard from the device.

21st Nov - Ashton spent the past few days preparing for their trip to the ship after the decision was made to find answers at the start of the outbreak. The radio had hinted towards something on the ship that had made it on but shouldn't have, that it wasn't just a cargo ship. He and Zach departed at daybreak the moment the hordes thinned out, taking the 2 hour trek to the ship and found out that Korea had created immunity test kits in order to find suitable immune antibodies to create the vaccine. The immunity test kits on the ship were meant for global distributions to reach and warn the world while they still could and find a wider pool of immuned antibodies. Zach and Ash grabbed as many as they could in case the ship ever goes under one day. He aggravates an old injury from his left shoulder in the process of escaping the ship but ultimately comes back safe and sound, if you don't count dying a little bit inside coming back with Sada in tow as well.

22nd Nov - After the 24 hour quarantine, Ashton went to Tobias to get his shoulder checked, considering that he was the one to operate on it in the first place, no better time for a check up. His shoulder was wrapped up as a bandage brace and given a few days to recover by itself with the aid of ice, heat, and anti-inflammation pills. The men also then reported in their findings before the decision on what to do with the test kits was made.

23rd Nov - Thanksgiving dinner was nice. Ashton thinks about his mom and tries to reach her again.

2nd Dec - Ashton spots a familiar face of his old marine comrade Kang coming towards the building letting him and his fellow scientist partner in.

12th Dec - After decisions were made, preparations were done to set the whole building up for the test kits and today was the morning Mr Wexley decided to make the announcement. Ashton awkwardly stood beside him with Zach during the announcement. (not important but he just wanted to note down he felt awkward :/) Ash volunteers to be the first resident to demonstrate the test, proving everything was alright and alleviate any fears or doubts people had. He and Zach then went out for a quick run that morning, keeping his promise to Charlie and picked up cigarettes for Jeremiah.

13th Dec - Ashton receives his results of delayed immunity (bummer). He still immediately puts him name in for the supply run, as if it was as easy as taking a walk. Mr Wexley seeks him out to ask a favor from him to take charge of leading the residents, strategizing and assigning the supply runs and giving them safety briefings before heading out for the first time. Ash also offers to teach self defense to anyone heading out.

16th Dec - Ashton had been at the diner that morning later than usual, otherwise he could've been dead. All seemed normal until Charlie came rushing down with an unconscious Skyler in tow. The Carbon Monoxide gas leak hit them all in the morning and Ashton volunteers to start going through and evacuating the residents from their apartments alongside the rest of the others braving through the gas. Ash and Mr Wexley found the source of the leak and worked to clear it out together. With the crisis averted, most came out unscathed except for one, and of course it's Sada's fault, who else. Ashton felt the affects of the gas for the next few days but nothing time and some actual oxygen can't fix.

23rd Dec - Ashton and Zach spent the days leading up to this prepping the teams for the big supply run, everyone pitching in to be divided into teams and focus on various supplies they needed to get before the snow hits them in the face and they need to tide over the winter. All hope was practically lost to be saved and their focus was only on survival at this point in stead of rescue. Ashton has tried to plan out for all worst case scenarios, exit plans, and yet, the worst just couldn't even be thought out well enough, or maybe Ash had just lost his edge from his time away from the marines. His own team should've been a small quick team, in and out. And everything had gone wrong, he should've seen it coming. Losing Skyler there and then had been heartbreaking and coming back to a shit storm everywhere else.. just fuck.

24th Dec - 2nd Mar - The events from their supply run pulled Ash back into a familiar place, a dark place, of leading and letting people down, people dying because of him and his decisions. He focused his efforts on surviving, keeping everyone alive, nothing else. He continued to trudge through the snow to search for the missing residents that never made it back, they were strong hardy people, they can survive, Ash just needs to find them. Till then, he found it very hard to look at people in the eye, especially Charlie. Losing Skyler, sending both her brothers out there for them to not come back, they have to come back. Charlie couldn't lose JP and Jer, and honestly neither could Ash. He never told anyone of his solo runs outside, finding more supplies that they never managed to get and hoping to find their people. He got caught once or twice, but perhaps no words were needed to justify why he was doing it, why he was trying to make it right. Winter came and finally went, at least they've survived the worst. And Ash hopes to continue to look for the rest of the Wexley residents again. ..It can't get any worse. ..Right?

4th Mar - Spring was coming and that meant the snow was starting to melt away, giving Ashton more chances to head out, by now getting full approval from Mr Wexley to do his runs, with his own self condition to at least make it back with supplies and make his trips to search for their people useful. Today his managed to find rice, one of those staples that just never expires, perfect find for them to have carbohydrates and make it last long. He came back first with the spoils straight to Charlie to offload supplies before quarantine. Charlie gave him the news that JP made it back, Ashton instinctively hoped to head back out immediately to avoid the 48 quarantine, taking it as he never came back instead. And that was the first time Charlie yelled at him like at. He would've fought with her if he wasn't so exhausted, hurt by her words enough for him to cave in, promising her that he'd stay in the Wexley for a few days and just be there for her.

4th - 9th Mar - In the last few days, Ash stayed in the building, resting, sleeping just reconnecting with their people again. He checked in with Val, finally spoke with Beau again hoping he'd feel better, made sure Mal was okay, looked for JP once their quarantines were done, it was actually really nice. A soft reminder for what they still had despite what they've all lost.

9th Mar - …Five days constitutes a few days, right??? Ashton was always one to keep his promises, rarely a man to ever break them. But the lack of work to do had him itching again, needing something to do in the building. He started off with the retcon work he hasn't done from the rooftop since the snow hit, observing the activities of the city from the roof and tracking them down, human and non human. He didn't expect to have spotted a Ziggy shaped human on the streets from above. Ash broke his promise to Charlie in that instant to save his friend and bring them back home.

12th Mar - Ash thought that would be a one and done promise break, Charlie wasn't too mad at him considering a life was at stake and it wasn't far. But the next one perhaps was what hurt the most. Ash never had any intentions of heading out that day, he already spoke with JP hoping to dig some information that could help them find Jeremiah. But with the lack of information, that was a thread Ash swiftly dropped, not wanting to force JP into a dark headspace remember the time of their run. So he did not expect to see JP anxiously knocking on his door, wanting- needing to go out and find his older brother. Ash didn't have the highest hopes but he did trust JP and he was definitely not about to let him wander out there alone just as he finally made it back. Ash, JP and Oscar went out for the day, looking in the area JP thought would be the best bet. They came across a raider, at first almost ready to fight when they mentioned they're just looking for someone that fucked them over, a description matching the oldest Rose, the group led the raider astray into a wayward direction, at least inklings of the fact that Jer or someone that looks like Jer is alive somewhere. Ash forced them to end their search by dusk, not about to let them stay outside overnight and upon coming back, it was almost unbelievable to hear Jer had made it back home. Ash couldn't find himself to believe it and he broke protocol just to make sure it was true before he accepted his 48 hours.

15th Mar - coming out free from quarantine once again, Ash caught up with the recent changes and news from everyone, Val's new quarantine protocols to be put in place starting today. Ash preferred quarantining in the comfort of his home but he understands the need for this.

9th - 20th Mar - Charlie hasn't spoken to Ash ever since :(

20th Mar - Birdie makes her way back to the Wexley with survivors and Roman's kid, June, in tow and intel to the brim of the outside world and most pressingly, a call for help. Ashton joined in as one of the volunteers to join the journey in saving the survivors on the boat stranded in the waters, raiders prowling around waiting to jump on them. Charlie hasn't spoken to Ash since the day he came back with JP, he wanted to give her the space she needed from him, letting her be as mad as she wanted to be with him. Jeremiah had chosen to head out too and he might as well go outside and look out for the other brother like he did with the middle Rose. But more importantly, Roman was still out there trying to save these people, Charlie can be mad at him all she wants, but this felt like the right thing to do, if it meant helping get Roman back to his family and Charlie. The volunteers of Jeremiah, Eric, Zach, Oscar and himself gathered that very same day, got further information from Birdie and began working out a plan for the next day. In between prep work, Birdie and June had requested additional supplies, and to borrow some of his space books, it was nice.

21st Mar - The team of five sets off the morning to make their way south to the Upper Bay, plan in action but they couldn't really solidified everything until they see the situation with their own eyes themselves - a lot of things can change in 24 hours. Unaware of the other havoc wreaking in the Wexley, their problems were just as huge, knowing nothing ever goes according to plan but the raiders had been more insidious than they hoped. The raiders already offloaded all the survivors from the boat, when they initially were told that they were still stranded on the boat, and the raiders instead rigged the boat as bait for the team, explosives and Roman on board waiting for those oh so righteous Wexley residents who just had to save people. Everything happened so fast like dominos knocking over their plans. Zach made it back with grave intel that the survivors were actually on shore with the raiders. Just as Zach made it back to them, Ash could only watch from the shore as a part of the boat exploded and the team on the beach desperately tries to make contact with the two that headed towards the vessel. They made a split second decision to continue with the plan, seeing that the raiders had an upper hand on them from the boat, the fireworks was the best hand they still had hidden. Once Zach located where the raiders were actually situated holding the survivors with their supplies hostage, plans shifted to light the fireworks and use the distractions to take on the raiders and overpower them to release the ship survivors. But more enemies appeared than they had initially thought. It got even hairier when a face Ash had been hoping to find for all these months found her way towards their group. It was a rough fight, Oscar getting hurt and Ashton getting his shoulder dislocated again - what is it about boats and his shoulder injury acting up? - but they managed to kill the raiders, with the additional incoming help from Hannah and the survivors, alongside Ruth and Aggie. With the gunfire, some of the chompers had instead of being diverted by the fireworks were instead drawn to the beach, giving the team little time and space to calm down. A saving grace of the rev of an engine came in the form of a driver willing to pick them out of the growing horde, Nikhil piling everyone into the car and managed to make it back home. Ashton was so out of it at that point, he hadn't even noticed Ruth popped his shoulder back in and that the ship team made it back until he looked up in the car to find Jeremiah with him, Roman and Eric also alive. Everyone including the survivors and then some made it home. That was enough of a success.

21st Mar night - The night they got back, Ash and the outside group came to learn of the insane shit that happened inside the building itself, honestly it's hard to pick which is worst but Ash would've preferred dealing with humans than bats. All the rescue team that weren't immune were quarantined into the newly appointed quarantine suites, fitting four in each. While he disagreed with Val that this was a good idea, he was more than glad to be stuck with Ruth and Jeremiah. He firstly spent some time early in the night with his closest friend he thought he lost forever, and when she fell asleep, Ash still couldn't get past the blinding pain and sat outside in the living room till Jeremiah in a similar predicament joined him. They shared a rare moment alone later in the night finding solace and finally some form of sleep in each other's arms only for an hour or two before being interrupted by Aggie panicking and realizing her comfort person in Jer wasn't by her side. Ash couldn't sleep again for the rest of the night.

22nd Mar - Ashton properly met Aggie that morning, the poor girl scared to death and her first impressions of him can't be stellar having seen him with the blood of others on his hands. But the girl trusted both Ruth and Jer, and that was enough of an opening for Ash to have while he tried to talk to her over breakfast, and ended up giving her his share of food seeing how hungry she was and how little appetite he had due to the pain. They perhaps made some progress as she gave him a roll of bread back to share. Later that morning, they each met Val for their blood sample to be drawn and a general check up through their 48 hour quarantine. The juice he had was the first real form of sustenance he had in 24 hours, and Val could tell as she expressed her worry. Ash confessed to the lack of sleep and food due to the pain, and while Val chided that it was more than just that, the bone aching tiredness seeming to have been evident days before the rescue even happened. But after some painful words, she gave him half a dose of Valium - a drug Ash had a history with and had been reluctant to go back to, but Val was right, this was the best time for it, while in quarantine, under the watchful gaze of people he trusted, only did Ash agreed to it, and only in emergencies from then on. Ash managed a few more hours of sleep with it that day.

22nd - 24th Mar - The rest of quarantine went by uneventful, a moment of rest, reunion, solace, peace. Albeit not a lot of sleep, but it was all with good company. Aggie slowly warmed up to Ash over the days of meals, Ruth caught up with the him on the past few missed months, and Jer.. it was just nice to share quiet moments in the late nights with Jer when neither of them could find sleep and so instead found each other.

24th Mar - emotionally exhausting day, I need sleep - Despite the rest, exhaustion was still heavy in Ash as they left quarantine that morning, the building was holding a celebratory breakfast at Rosie's once everyone was free and Ash didn't have the appetite for it and was planning on skipping out to sort out his own shoulder. Charlie didn't give him the option however with breakfast forced upon him, and her wrath of finally breaking her silent treatment to him. She chewed him out, and perhaps he deserved it, but her words hurt all the same, he got all the blame for breaking his promise when he was simply looking out for JP. Ash should've walked away at that point and he regretted not doing so when the alternative was an outburst at Charlie. He managed to pull himself back - Charlie had more important things to worry about, and he shouldn't be one of them. It was an emotionally exhausting moment with her - getting yelled at, taking the blame, accused of not caring enough (he understood Charlie's perspective but he still wasn't sure if she understood his), learning of her pregnancy (by mistake), hoping to help her feel a lil less alone about it. And when she went on her way to a more important talk with Roman and he was finally alone, he let those words she used really hurt him, no more energy to keep the wall up. Only Aggie unknowingly still around saw him really cry that morning. Once the tears ran out completely and he was done with his self pity party of feeling hurt, Ash picked himself back up and went straight for the debrief of their 21st mission. Mr Wexley had unsurprisingly held Ashton back to speak with him alone, forbidding him to leave the building to scout until his injuries were healed. The only fight Ash could put up was laying out all the ugly worries he had for the coming future, things they had to do and had to figure out. Despite their bouts of disagreements, Mr Wexley handed him the keys to the scouts HQ, effectively wanting to put him in charge, it was an uncomfortable conversation when Ashton would've rather turn away from whatever responsibilities the older man thought Ashton could do when he's only proven him otherwise - people have died on his watch, like they always had. But if this was the only way he was going to be able to help if not out there, he took it, the two of them discussed potential best plans moving forward regarding supplies, water, medical, garden, fortifying defenses. After the long meeting, Ash had been craving to just go back to his own apartment he hasn't seen in 3 days. But he was also thankful to Beau inviting him up to see the improvements made to the garden. A welcome distraction from falling too far down a hole he shouldn't, and fresh air was everything after 3 days without it. It was good to catch up with Beau, see him doing so much better, help with the garden, dream up the fruits they could grow for the summer. Watermelons some day. Ash spent the rest of the afternoon up there with Beau and he had initially only went back up to grab some things he forgotten about in the evening, bumping into Ziggy up there, the other half of the pair he was just with a few hours ago, but they weren't there to admire the garden. Drinks and Smokes, Ziggy told him about Aggie being their sister and falling down a spiral Ash was familiar with and might've been in that same day but instead he was here, and he was here for them this time. He got them away from the rooftop's edge to nudged them back down to their apartment, letting Beau take care of them. Ash finally ended the day emotionally completely tapped out, alone, appetite-less, and still without much sleep, shoulder aggravating to moment he dare move in his bed the wrong way.

25th Mar - Without much sleep, Ash took advantage of the early morning as usual to head to the diner, a first after weeks of avoiding it since Charlie had avoided him. The sore, hurt feelings left were of his own and weren't important, he could get over them in the interest of making things okay with Charlie again. Finding her asleep, much needed surely, he helped her set things up for breakfast until she awoke, if he couldn't sleep then at least she should. She told him the positive pregnancy test and the people that knew, he promised not to tell another soul and that he'd be there when she told her brothers (he was careful about his promises this time, cautious of promising things she'd be mad about if he can't keep), it was the least he could do, being who he was in this situation. Once breakfast (though barely his breakfast) was over, Ash settled on keeping up with the work, at some point he had to be exhausted enough to fall asleep through the pain. He looked over the renewed list of supplies they needed, introducing himself to Hannah to ask about any additional things for June and Maisie from a mother's perspective because crayons didn't seem like an essential. He felt like he was being observed, just a weird gut feel, but she was nice, kind. And made a point - vitamin gummies on their next run. Whenever that is, seeing the horde surround their area. They'll make do prioritizing the kids' vitamin intake through what they have, a conversation with Charlie, Rosie and Ruth. He also had a quick check in on Sher having not had a moment since her return. Ash then spent the afternoon regrouping with Zach in the scouts HQ to start preemptively planning supply runs and defensive plans and the night like old times - relaxing after work over a games night and dog therapy as Zach would call it. That night, he finally found a decent few hours of sleep, Ruth managed to find stronger painkillers that she knew worked for him from her old stash.

26th Mar - Ashton woke up feeling not entirely shit (thank you Ruth), though the pain still throbbed, it had lessened in the morning and throughout the day. Meeting Oscar's sister Emily for the first time over breakfast was a nice little thing, and probably for the better when he felt more human again today. He even managed to keep his breakfast down, though still giving a portion to Aggie as usual when she seemed hungry. Mal showed him a working 3D printer they found in their office, one they used to use fairly frequently together. They invited him to join on their quest to making it work and be useful for them again and Ashton could certainly see some possibilities, printing broken parts in the building, gardening tools, chicken coops, barricades, maybe even ammunition. Still, it wasn't Ashton's specialty in physics, but he wouldn't say no to a challenge, something safe, helpful, indoors for the month he's stuck here, he appreciated it because Mal knows exactly how he was feeling having been in the same position all winter. Just a little fun side project for both of them to focus on and potentially become a life saving tool. He finally managed to eat and sleep again that night.

27th Mar - Though Ash had been busying himself the past few days, on the sidelines he had been thinking about this specific day during then. A small little promise he intended to keep for a Rose's birthday. Though it started with running into Sada doing a few errands for his telescope and books for the kids, he let it roll of his back easily, not letting her have a whiff of the day or night planned. He wasn't part of the siblings' celebration with Jeremiah that day, a small sting but reminder of the invisible barrier he can't cross. They deserved their family time alone after all, and he wasn't that kind of family to them. Making him doubt if he'd even get a small chance to celebrate with him, if he'd be busy with someone else, if he'd even remember. But Aggie was up on the roof when he brought up the telescope, a chance to really bond with her and that was nice enough. He wasn't sure what it was but she opened up ever so slightly, as if something clicked that evening. He had been preparing for the worst to be up there alone so it was heartwarming for Jer to have been waiting. Even more surprising when the usual private softness between them seem to pull further down into an uncharted vulnerability. Ash wasn't sure what came over him to have said what he said, not able to stop the words he felt for years from falling out, or doing what he did, not able to stop the urge to kiss him. He definitely wasn't sure if it was the right or just the selfish thing to do. He was too close to losing Jeremiah twice now, he wasn't even his to lose, but it felt that way between them. He didn't need Jer to feel the same or reply there and then, and even more so didn't want to ruin their friendship. Perhaps just some time to think about it, nothing had to change if they didn't want it to. Ashton hadn't told a soul about that night.

29th Mar - Tad offered to do some reiki attunement and guess it did release some tension and pain, Ash wasn't sure whether it was placebo or something actually worked but he'd take anything at this point. A real bro, it was nice having him back, as long as Sada wasn't involved in their interactions. Though speaking of irritants.. Ashton spoke with Judah, one of the newcomers after their rescue mission, and it did not alleviate his suspicions of their intentions of being here. Coming from across the waters, happen to see the fireworks and came towards them just after they fucked over a bunch of raiders. Timing of it all was just suspicious, which was why Ashton had asked to sit in on their entrance chat with Mr Wexley, knowing how quick the older man was to trust strangers he let into this building. While his brother had been quieter, Judah wasn't doing himself any favors with Ashton's suspicions of them.

30th Mar - Once Ruth had a chance to calm down and rest after being immediately thrown into the deep end of doctor duties the moment she returned, her and Ash had a catch up on physiotherapy again for his shoulder, just like the good old days! It was always torturous. At least Ash knew what to expect this time and could probably do it on his own. But he wouldn't say no to the company of his best friend and someone that knew his shoulder better than he did. And on the roof to visit the chicken and garden was a great excuse of some outside exercise again since they're literally trapped in the building. He's thought about it so many times, but he's so thankful for her being back home, more than most would know of the friendship that runs deep between them.

1st Apr - During the birthday party, Ash had volunteered to help Charlie run the bar and give her a break, though with only one good hand there were more stirred not shaken drinks he could pour. Ash would rather hide behind the safety of a bar anyways in a party if he had to be here, looking after the entire bar together with Alice was relaxing in its own way. Though there was a sore sense of loneliness that night, he had no shortage of people that still came by to say hi and get a drink, Mr Wexley the birthday man himself being the first before others like Charlie, Maddie, Ember, Roman, Ria and Linds greeted him before they went on their way with the party, Lindsay eating a barbie shoe had to take the cake of the night of entertainment. Ash took some time between to check in on Aggie and Ziggy as well and he appreciated the others like Hannah, Eric, Zach, Ruth and JP making sure he had a break and something to eat that night, or had some form of fun in a few games or dog therapy. He hadn't gotten much of a chance to see Jeremiah, bar a few shared glances, not wanting to get in the way of Sada with him for the night - the less chances she had to sniff out a shift between them, the better. The night had been going easier than expected, Ashton surviving a party longer than he ever used to do and he actually did have some fun hanging with Zach and playing games with Ruth and JP, they all made him feel much less alone that night. It would've been a wonderful night if he could've just avoided Sada completely, but she wouldn't let that happen. Swinging by much later in the night to push his buttons. He had been used to being insulted himself by her but when she said the awful things about the people he loved, he snapped at her, something as if she had specifically wanted to happen, because soon he saw her plan of causing trouble, finding out about secrets she shouldn't know and letting the rest of the world know of it without Charlie's choice, and of course putting the blame on Ashton. JP had been there protecting Sada and it became a shit show from there, a public scene made in the Atrium as Ashton left the bar to be there for Charlie even if it was a family affair and he didn't belong in it, he promised Charlie he'd be there. Mal was the one who managed to simmer things down between the siblings as they let them take it somewhere private as Mal and Ash looked for Jeremiah but it was perhaps too late when Tony of all people told Jer the news, something he should've heard straight from his family. It was draining to put a stop to it all and let the three siblings talk things through before the party resumed to end the night. Ash stayed on as the last ones to start clean up after everyone else had left the party, expecting to be alone until Jeremiah looked for him for the first time that night.

October 1: first day of Halloween (yes this is an actual holiday different from "the entire month of October is Halloween" because they come from different popular posts, I don't control the rate at which Tumblr makes cultural touchstones)

October 9: Leif Erikson day - SpongeBob

October 13: TREAT YO SELF - parks and rec

October 17: "two weeks later we spoke again" October 3rd cont'd

October 19: "October 19th is a feeling in all of us" - Community

October 21: back to the future day

November 1: only 364 days until Halloween - the nightmare before Christmas

Month of December: no I shan't it's Christmas - doctor who

December 23: happy Christmas Adam for those who celebrate (Christmas Eve what about Christmas Adam tumblr post)

Also December 23: Christmas Eve Eve from Friends

Also December 23: festivus from Seinfeld

December 24: IT'S ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP TILL CHRISTMAS (SCREAM) from the muppet version of the Christmas carol

Non holiday traditions:

"here's to the end of sweater weather" in early spring (particularly as a shout out to dysphoric trans boys)

"I wish I could wear a sweater" posting starts sometime in june-august, along with "if you're hot, they're hot, bring them inside" and "this isn't cute everyone knows goths only do this when they're stressed" about goths out in hot weather

"I love wearing sweaters" in fall, mainly October, multiple genres of posts for autistic/transgender/aesthetic/etc reasons

Other holidays: basically any viral meme post can become a holiday given the right circumstances since we have timestamps on posts now

Not a holiday but it's customary to be like "I can't believe no one's reblogged this on my dash yet I had to go find this myself/I have to do everything myself around here" in a reblog if a holiday meme takes awhile to surface again and you need to fetch the post

Also:

My condolences

Best of luck :)

June

It's gonna be may

Ides of March

Neil banging out the tunes

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 2nd Nov. In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, the Delhi government has announced a public holiday on November 7 in celebration of Chhath Puja, a significant festival for the Purvanchali community. Delhi minister Atishi made the announcement on social media platform X, expressing happiness about the decision, which aims to allow the Purvanchali community to celebrate the festival “with pomp and show.” The declaration comes just months before the assembly polls, highlighting the importance of the Purvanchali electorate, which, according to government data, comprises approximately 42 percent of Delhi’s voters. This community, primarily hailing from Bihar, holds substantial influence over electoral outcomes in key constituencies such as Burari, Dwarka, and Laxmi Nagar, which are pivotal for the 70 assembly seats in the capital. Chhath Puja, also known as Surya Shashti, is a revered festival celebrated over four days, primarily in Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand. The festival involves married women observing a rigorous 36-hour fast and making offerings to the Sun God, including wheat, milk, sugarcane, bananas, and coconuts. The timing of the holiday announcement coincides with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) initiative to connect with the Purvanchali community, aiming to win over their support in the elections. The BJP has been striving to reclaim its political dominance in Delhi, where it has not held power for over two and a half decades. The outreach efforts, alongside the public holiday, signify a larger strategy to engage and secure the loyalty of Purvanchali voters during this critical election period. The post Delhi Govt Declares Public Holiday for Chhath Puja on Nov 7 appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates. [ad_2] Source link

Q&A WITH JIMMY

Q) "I have three of your mp3s of which two were purchased today. I can really feel the dark energies audio at a cellular level. It has helped me tremendously. I have two questions. How many times should I listen to them and can I listen to them at the same time? I’m looking for ward to the changes. Thank you." - Elizabeth F. A) That's a great question to put in our E-newsletter.... I would listen to only one at a time but you can loop them or play them all at random as long as only one's playing at a time. It can also be barely audible in your room on a phone tablet or desktop you do not need to hang on my every word but it cannot be on mute or off - it has to be barely playing so that it is barely audible and that activates the energy, the frequency, and the vibration. Great question thank you." - JMack

SAN JOSE – overlook the San Jose Sharks shedding streak and each unsightly evening which was part of it. Put away the record guide for the present time. The Sharks, nearly a month after their particular period started, have actually acquired a winnings. Thanks to a frequently dazzling overall performance from goalie Mackenzie Blackwood and objectives from Anthony Duclair and William Eklund, the Sharks beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Tuesday, closing an 11-game season-opening losing streak that tied an NHL record very first created in 1943. Has Tomas Hertl desired to win a game title since poorly because one? “Yeah, maybe in playoff time,” Hertl stated moments following the Sharks presented a quick celebratiion of their very own dressing area. “No, probably never.” Eklund’s objective had been the champion. And after he scored in the 16:18 level associated with the 2nd duration, offering the Sharks their particular very first two-goal lead associated with the period, Eklund endured two dozen legs from the leaflets web and let-out a-roar, a release of types after three-plus days of disappointment. “It was a big relief,” Eklund stated of their 2nd aim of the summer season. A objective by Joel Farabee with 1:11 kept inside 2nd duration slice the Sharks’ trigger 2-1. To start with, it showed up Blackwood made a great glove-hand conserve, but a video clip analysis unveiled that puck had entered objective range. Still, Blackwood completed with 38 spares, together with Sharks required every one. Three times before Tuesday, the Sharks presented a one-goal lead entering the next duration simply to drop it each and every time. Tuesday, Blackwood made the real difference, preventing 15 shots across last 20 mins since the Sharks prevented making NHL record. The just in other cases a group features lost its very first 11 games associated with the period had been in 1943 if the nyc Rangers moved 0-11-0, plus in 2017 and 2021, if the Arizona Coyotes moved 0-10-1. “It’s a lot of relief in here,” Blackwood stated. “Everyone’s happy. It’s been a long time coming and now we can take a breath and start to try and put some more together.” After offering their group a tongue-lashing Monday, basic supervisor Mike Grier desired to observe they might vie against the leaflets, what number of puck battles they won, and exactly how they might react should they encountered adversity. “A lot of it is them being honest with themselves and looking themselves in the mirror, and just worrying about the things that they can control,” Grier stated. “You can take control of your energy, your compete, your details, and when everybody else does that, after that ideally you are capable win a game title 3-2, and that is exactly how they’re likely to get self-confidence.

(Nhat V. Meyer/Bay region Information Group) “They’re not going to get confidence until they win again, to be honest with you. No one needs, ‘Oh, we played we played well today, but we lost.’ We’re past that. They need to win a game and start feeling good about themselves.” It’s a chicken and egg situation when it comes to Sharks, which had a need to win to achieve a little bit of swagger, but to achieve that variety of self-confidence, they want very first flavor some success. For near to a month, the number of twenty-some people only hadn’t discovered the proper formula, because they merely lacked a few aspects of why is an NHL group effective in 2023: A puck-moving defenseman who is able to quarterback an electrical play, rate, ability, and level between the forward team, protecting as a five-man product, and self-confidence. How can the Sharks develop some self-confidence whether they haven’t claimed a game title however? “Playing shift by shift,” Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro stated.

“We’re going to build confidence by seeing one good shift and making it in two good shifts, and every good shift leads into the other. We’re going to build confidence by seeing each other work, seeing the guy next to us work, go out there and do his job and have a good shift and then we’re going to follow it up ourselves.” San Jose Sharks mascot SJ Sharkie waves a flag after their particular 2-1 make an impression on the Philadelphia Flyers in the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023.

Dianxia's birthday calculation💐

((spoilers!!)) (( → insta ))

So I had a realisation about dianxia's birthday

In this essay I will attempt to convince you that our dianxia had the worst birthday ever in the history of worst birthdays —ever™

As history lover, I'd like to point out first - that for ancient China, or really, any pre-modern countries, birthdays weren't celebrated the way we do today, annually. → For China, birthdays then were probably more focused on only the 1st, 10th, 60th and 70th. — So this probably isn't that tragic of a realisation from tgcf's characters' pov – but it would be to us (and perhaps hc) — Besides, they did have a Gilded Banquet for lqq's 17th so maybe royalties would care – and hence:

So, was just thinking about how Xie Lian's been passing his birthdays for all those 800 years..

I mean, for a prince like him, as a child there must have been grand feasts; then, at Mt Taicang in his training years, he still mustve received some regards or respects or gifts from his peers and family, congratulating him on his birthdays But after his 2nd banishment (post-Book 4), xl was by himself, alone. Nevermind not having any feasts or gifts, there was no one to wish him "happy birthday".

No Feng Xin, no Mu Qing, no father, no mother.

And from then, for eight hundred years, he probably didn't and couldn't do anything for his birthdays (for himself). Just busy collecting scraps, alone, like any other day.

Then, what about his 1st banishment? (during book 4) When fx, mq, and his parents were still with him?

xl was banished "a few months" before winter (winter began when he first tried robbing)

When he ascended the 2nd time, it was still winter too.

→ So, with his birthday in summer, xl didn't celebrate a birthday during those last months when he still had fx, mq and his parents. So whew.

→ but that also means: the first birthday he passes without his kingdom, the first birthday he passes since XianLe fell from his mistakes, was during his 2nd banishment (post-book 4) — a time when everyone (including wuming) had all left him, when xl had become truly alone.

The first time spending his birthday in a world without his parents, without fx and/or mq beside him, without a XianLe. Maybe that one day, for just that once, the nagging awareness that he was alone finally crept up to him. That all that was once there with him on his birthdays - were gone now. And each absence was because of him too.

. . .

↑ After XianLe fell

Now, that was about the first birthday he has after XianLe fell.

What about the last birthday he had before XianLe fell?

→ It would've happened before his 1st banishment, during the ending phases of Yong'an's rebellion — but I'm going to narrow it down. And dare I deduce, xl likely had a birthday happening during the worsts of the chaos:

→ Before XianLe fell:

So, xl's 1st banishment was "a few months" before winter. Say 'a few' means 3~4. China's winter begins Nov~Dec. = "a few months" before = Aug~Sept

XL was banished in Aug~Sept

Still not July 15. So, what was happening much earlier during summer, before his banishment? — the pagoda collapsing, and then thereafter, there were still those battles xl joined, shaking in fear and unable to fight well

Though the time between [pagoda falling] and [banishment] is not specified, those battles that he joined in between those events likely meant several days~some weeks. (( 'several' being 7~8 and 'some' being 4~6, aight?))

So [Aug~Sept banishment] - [some weeks] = end-July ~ mid-Aug

Pagoda collapsed between end-July / mid-Aug

Now, adding that xl held up that pagoda for several days, it means there are two conclusions:

The pagoda dropped around end-July → xl passed his birthday around/within the days he held that building under the hot scorching sun

The pagoda dropped mid-Aug, aka xl started holding it up around start-Aug → his birthday, July 15, was not spent during this pagoda-holding time. So whew. . . . But, July 15 being 'half a month' before, around 'half a month' before was also when the disease started.

And tbh, I'm more inclined to believe (1); because if we went even more specific (aka overanalysing), through the novel's diction, we get this detail:

Throughout Book 2, "in his twenty years of life" was used a lot, describing xl's age.

After the pagoda fell, however, on the battlefield, he was described as "barely past twenty", so you could say he's turned 21 by then, perhaps even newly turned 21 ( and ofc, he did pass his 21st bday at most before the pagoda fell )

So, when was the last time xl was just "twenty"? — —that one day when he, for the first time ever, was stabbed on a battlefield (by Lang Ying); when he cut off that man's leg; and that same day when he started holding up the pagoda.

An awful day brimmed with misfortunes.

So, possibly, in between that [awful day] —then through the days he held up that pagoda, passing out under the hot sun, including the day he cried out his little "save me"— and finally [the pagoda falling and xl thereafter suffocatingly fighting on the battlefield with evergrowing fear of failure],

xl passed a birthday on one of these days.

Worst Birthday Ever Crown 👑 !

There were quite a few other clues too; like when his parents came meeting him with torn looks as he was holding up the pagoda — perhaps one of those visiting days was xl's birthday

xl was turning 21 but all he wanted to do was turn back into a 10-year-old child and cry

One last thought:

what if: that last day —before the patients swarmed xl, before he couldn't hold the up pagoda anymore— he received a white flower, didn't he?

Was that day xl's 21st birthday...?

hua hua's first birthday present to xl...?

if so, then now, 800 years later and reuniting, hc's finally giving his dianxia flowers for his birthday again.

an upgrade 💐

I literally made my nemesis/bully repeat his Sr. year over. - LONG, but worth it!

I grew up in a solid working class town without a lot of wealth in it. The very few wealthy people worked in a bigger city 25 or so miles down the road, and mostly sent there kids to private schools in that town. However, we certainly mingled and played with the kids during the summers, etc.. Football is king in my part of the country. Our high school programs play in front of thousands, it is table talk year around, and youth football starts as early as 6 years old. We played in backyards, schools, ALL the time.

I always had a football in my hand and was generally a highly regarded player in my neighborhood. However, there was one kid who dominated us. His name is Mike M. the IV. Yes, he was the the "Fourth" He was one of the rich kids and he was seriously 6" taller, faster, and stronger, than the 8th grade boys while he was still in 6th grade. He went to the private school, so outside of neighborhood football, I only competed against him in track & field in the spring. But we saw him all the time and he was a piece of shit bully to all the kids. The "4th" was always talking down to the rest of us "poor pieces of shit", throwing our stuff into the creek near the field we played in. Anytime we had success against him he claim some piece of cheating, beat one of us up, or piss and moan and walk away. During the regional and state championships in middle school track, he beat me both years in the 100 and 200 meter runs. We finished 1st and 2nd at every meet.

Once we moved to high school, football ramped up big time. Now we were prepping to play HS ball for our school and our town. We all assumed Mike was going to continue to play at the private school he had attended. Much to our dismay, there was Mike in full pads on our first day of football practice our freshman year. It was then that I found out why Mike was so much bigger/better for his grade level. Mike was pretty old for being a freshman. He had an October birthday while mine November. Not much older you say, except the cutoff for starting kindergarten was Sept. 30. We had both missed that cutoff when we were little, except my parents enrolled me anyway. My birthday was Nov. of '84 while Mike's was Oct. of '83.....so I thought. We also found out Mike had failed 3rd grade at his private school and had to repeat. His birthday was actually in '82. He was 25 months older than me and we are competing at the same grade level. No wonder he was so much bigger. That slightly worked against him because the catholic athletic league had rules about age limits in their high school sports, so Mikey had to go play with us poor kids at the public school in high school

Freshman year, Mike makes the varsity as a backup QB and I am relegated to Junior Varsity. His ego really stepped up then. He was a freshman playing varsity in a town where football is king. In addition, he got his Drivers License and a new Camaro. Also, he was the only rich kid at our school. I envied, yet hated him so much. He was always reminding us of our place in the social world and constanly making quips about having to walk, ride bikes, go to Goodwill, etc..

The next summer Mike spent at various football and speed camps. Us poor kids just played ball. Sophmore year comes and Mike is the starting QB, but I am his best wide receiver. Mike truly was a great passer, but his athletic superiority over the rest of us is diminishing as we start to mature. We both get All State honors, finished the season 13-2 while losing in the state semi-finals. Mike is starting to get noticed as a potential college QB. His head gets bigger. Junior year comes and Mike tries to become a team leader, but his arrogance and constant belittling wears everyone down. I am now a solid 6' 3" and looking Mike eye to eye, and faster. We both get All- State honors again, but we finish 7-4 with an early exit in the playoffs. Mike is furious about the horrible players he is surrounded by. I am also starting to get some recruiting letters.

Spring of that school year, our long time football coach becomes ill and chooses to retire. The school district brings in a new coach with an entirely different offense. No more drop back passing, but rather a primitive form of what we see today in American college football. A mobile QB with lots of options. Prior to the summer, the team met with our new coach and he laid this out to us with some suggestion on how we can utilize the summer to prepare for our Senior season. Mike was super pissed about this all because it didn't suit his style of play. His family tried to sue the catholic athletic league from his former private school about their policies so he could play there, but that didn't work out. His family then tried to move to another city to play in their school, but they had missed a deadline. He was stuck. He spent the summer traveling to various football camps around the region to raise his collegiate status. These camps are essentially a college tryout in front of college coaches. I spent the summer with a plan to finally fucking beat Mike and become the QB. I had talked this over with our coach and he told me the best QB will play in the fall. I worked in the same field of our youth the entire summer with various other players practicing the playbook we had been given. Mike was trying to improve his footwork, while the rest of us were learning the playbook.

Summer ends and we begin fall practice. This was the first time I had seen Mike all summer, and he shit a brick when the coach told us to separate into groups and I walked into the QB group. I was now the bigger, stronger, and faster one. I had been practicing all summer, and I was had done so with our teammates. Given his status as a 2 time all-stater at QB, he was granted the starting role, but it was obvious who was better on the field. I easily played the role of wide receiver, but maintained the backup QB role. I was not happy about it, but it changed after we lost our first game. Mike didn't comprehend the playbook so well, was horrible at his option reads, and generally sucked. Our second game started with Mike getting crushed by a sack and fumbling that lead to a touchdown for the other team. He was not injured at all, but the head coach insisted he sit out a series to recover. I took over as QB and NEVER gave it up. I was pretty iffy passing those first few games, but the game started to become easier for me. We rolled off 14 straight wins until losing in the state finals. I was All State at QB, and Mike was a benchwarmer. All of his recruiting dried up.

I accepted full scholarship to the university down the road and got to play in front of crowds of 100,000. I had moved back to wide receiver and had a pretty solid career there. I was no where near NFL talent, but got to travel to bowl games and was generally the hometown hero as the poor boy who went to the big school and played on ESPN. Many of my friends from college played on Sundays (read NFL) and pretty sure one of those will be wearing a yellow jacket as an inductee to the Hall of Fame. I think most of these things would have happened had I not wanted to beat Mike at QB, but Mike's life would surely be different.

While not playing dried up his major Division I offers, he still had plenty of interest from smaller colleges. This did not sit well with him. He decided to replay his Sr. year at a private school several states away. His family sent him to a private boarding school in Pennsylvania which had no age limitation rules, where I understand he was absolutely miserable. Here, he was the poor kid, and almost 20 years old at that.....in high school. From there, he went on to play Junior College football, and ended up walking on to the directional school in that same state. He never played there, and returned to our hometown to take over his daddies car dealership.

I stayed in the same town as my university as a financial planner for a mentor I had met in college. His grandson had competed against me throughout our younger years, he had followed my entire athletic journey, and he was very proud of the local boy. He was a big name in the community and had taken me under his wing when I first stepped onto campus. John stepped away from the business a few years back and left me with his entire life's work on the condition I have a position for his grandkids/great grandkids should they choose that line of work and have a college degree.

I am not entirely sure what happened to Mike? He sold the dealership, but his house had gone into foreclosure. He was married with kids, but they moved. I hope he was humbled enough to no longer be a piece of shit, but perhaps I'll never know. You'll always be a piece of shit to me.
