Diabolik Lovers VANDEAD CARNIVAL ;; Present from Sakamaki [PART 2]

ー The scene starts in Yui’s bedroom

Yui: ...

( Things finally calmed down, but now it feels too quiet, I’m only growing more worried... )

( I was told not to leave my room but... )

( Just a few minutes won’t hurt, right...? )

ー Yui leaves her room and steps out into the hallway

Laito: Ayato-kuun~ Hold up~

Ayato: You wish!

Yui: ( Oh...? Seems like they’re still up to something? )

Kanato: You’re a mess, Subaru. It’s hurting my eyes so could you get out of my sight?

Reiji: He really does. We can handle the rest by ourselves, so go take a shower.

Subaru: Che, don’t order me ‘round! I was gonna do that anyway!

Shuu: ...Guess I’ll come with you then...I’m sure it’ll be quieter there than if I were to stay here.

Yui: ( Ayato-kun and Laito-kun’s voices were coming from the very back of the right hallway... )

( I can hear the others from the left side... )

( I’m worried about all of them, but I’m especially curious about... )

Selection

→ The right (Ayato, Laito)

Yui: ( I’ll try going right. )

ー Yui turns right

Ayato: What the fuck, Reiji!? Makin’ us do this annoyin’ shit.

Laito: Ah-aah, today was supposed to be fun, but because of you, we have to drag around all this stuff.

Ayato: Aah!? Excuse me!?

Laito: I’m not wrong, am I? We were chased out of the kitchen because you kept on making things explode.

Ayato: B-Blame the food for havin’ the nerve to explode on me!

Laito: Your excuses make no sense...

ー Yui approaches them

Yui: Ah, Ayato-kun! Laito-kun!

Ayato: The fuck’s your problem!?

Yui: ...!!

Laito: ...Wait, Bitch-chan!?

Wait, Ayato-kun, quiet!

Ayato: ...Che...

Laito: Say, Bitch-chan? Didn’t Reiji tell you to stay in your room?

Yui: Yeah, he did but, well, I was worried so...

You know...About the explosions and such...

Ayato: Uu...

Yui: Or the sound of stuff falling down...

Laito: Ahahaha...

Yui: And you guys’ screams as well...

Ayato: ...So, you came to check what’s causin’ all of that?

Yui: That too...However, I was more worried that one of you might have gotten hurt.

Laito: Nfu~ Sounds like you. However, as you can see, we’re all doing just fine.

Yui: ( ...They don’t seem to be hurt at first glance at least. )

Laito: Well then, Bitch-chan. Make sure to return to your room, okay?

Yui: ...B-But...

Tell me if there’s anything I can help with, okay?

Ayato: You’d be of no help, honestly.

Yui: ...I-I see...

Laito: Nfu~ You can just take it easy in your room and not worry about a thing, okay?

Yui: ...Okay...

( There’s nothing for me to do... )

( I’m worried about everyone, but it can’t be helped, right? I’ll go back to my room... )

Ayato: Ah...Right, Chichinashi. You can have this. Here.

*Rustle*

Yui: ...?

( A beautifully wrapped box...? )

Ayato: Reiji told me to give this to you.

Yui: I-I see...

( From Reiji-san...? )

Ayato: Ahー He also said you should open it once you’re back in your room.

Yui: ( Once I’m back in my room...? )

( I was told to go to my room earlier as well, and now again? I wonder what’s going on...? )

Ayato: Anyway, we’re busy, so you should hurry back to your room and open up that box.

Yui: ...Yeah, gotcha. Thank you, Ayato-kun.

( Hm...I’m curious...I guess I’ll return to my room for now and take a peek inside. )

→ The left (Shuu, Reiji, Kanato, Subaru)

Yui: ( I’ll try going left. )

ー Yui turns left

Yui: ( Is nobody here...? )

Subaru: ...Che, I’m covered in this crap from head to toe ‘cause of those bastards...

Yui: ( Ah, Subaru-kun! He doesn’t seem hurt in any way... )

Subaru: One day they’re catching these fists. I’m punchin’ them for sure, no matter what.

Yui: ( He doesn’t look wounded, but he’s muttering some really dangerous words... )

( I wonder what happened...? )

Um, Subaru-kun...?

Subaru: ...Ah? Oh, it’s you.

Yui: ...! W-What happened to you!?

( His clothes are really dirty... )

Subaru: Fuck off, not another word ‘bout that. Anyway, why are you here?

Yui: I was wondering if you were all doing okay...There seemed to be quite the ruckus going on, so I thought it’d be bad if somebody got injured.

Subaru: Injured? As if that’d happen.

Yui: ( Thank god...However, I wonder how he ended up this worn-out? )

Subaru: Oi! Quit the starin’!

Yui: S-Sorry...But...What happened, honestly?

Subaru: This is the aftermath of takoyaki explodin’ all over the place.

Yui: T-Takoyaki? You were all making takoyaki together?

( I’m shocked about that as well, but takoyaki can explode...?? )

Subaru: Oi...Don’t suddenly go quiet. Don’t put too much thought into it.

Yui: S-Sorry. Gotcha. I’ll try not to think about it.

Reiji: Hold it, Shuu!

ー Shuu steps out into the hallway

Shuu: ...Haah.

Yui: ...Shuu-san?

Shuu: Oh, it’s you? ...Also, Subaru...?

Those stains...You really do look like a mess.

Subaru: Aah!? I didn’t ask for this either!!

Shuu: ...Don’t shout, it rings in my ears. You’re actually dirty...So you can’t complain to me for pointing it out.

Subaru: Shut the fuck up!

*Thud*

Yui: ( Aah...He punched the wall. )

Shuu: ...So, what brings you here?

Yui: I got worried about you guys.

Shuu: Hm...However, don’t you think you should probably hurry back to your room?

Yui: Eh...?

ー Reiji shows up

Reiji: Subaru! Do not increase my workload beyond this point!

Yui: ( Reiji-san... )

Reiji: Go and wash off those stains at once!

Subaru: ...Hmph!

Reiji: Good grief...My suffering never ends with these troublesome buffoons.

So, Shuu, what are you doing here?

Shuu: Haah, what a pain...

Reiji: How about you show some intention of helping out as well?

ー Kanato enters the hallway

Kanato: Reiji, we have finished all preparations.

Reiji: Understood. I will be there shortly so please wait for a few minutes.

Shuu, you should return with Kanato as well.

Shuu: ...Haah...

Yui: ( I wonder what exactly they’re finished with...? )

Reiji: Well then, putting that aside...

I wonder why you are here? I made it very clear you should stay in your room...

Yui: ...I’m sorry for leaving without permission. However, I couldn’t help but worry about you all...

Reiji: ...Haah...It does not matter. Either way, return to your room and take this with you.

*Rustle*

Yui: ( A beautifully wrapped box... )

Um, what is this exactly?

Reiji: Accept it without questions.

...Listen very well. Once you return to your room, carefully open this box.

Yui: ...

Reiji: Your response?

Yui: Y-Yes...

ー The scene shifts back to Yui’s room

Yui: ( Hm...I wonder what’s inside this box? )

*Rustle rustle*

Yui: This is...?

A message card and a party hat...?

( Let’s see...’Please put on the hat and come to the living room’? )

( I have no idea what’s going on, but I guess I’ll go look for now? First I have to put on this hat... )

*Rustle*

...All set. Time to head to the living room...

ー The scene shifts to the living room

*Creaaaak*

Yui: H-Huh? It’s pitch black in here...Where is everyone?

( What’s this smell? Something sweet and...is this the scent of sauce (1)? )

U-Umーー

*Pang pang pang*

Yui: ...Kyaaaah!!!

Yui: ...Y-You guys...!? Why are you all dressed like that...?

( Also...There’s a strawberry cake. And over there, a large amount of takoyaki stacked on top of each other like a pyramid...? )

( There’s a bunch of other stuff as well...! )

Laito: Bitch-chan, it’s your birthday, right? We prepared all of this to surprise you!

Yui: Eh? ...Ah!

( That explains everything! )

Ayato: ‘Kay! The star of the party is here, so we can dig into this takoyaki now, right?

Kanato: I am sick of waiting. Hey, Teddy, let’s enjoy this cake together, okay?

Shuu: Pwaah...I’m even more exhausted than usual today. Sleepy.

Reiji: Well then, please take a seat.

Subaru: Che, what a drag...

Yui: ...

( To think I’d get to celebrate like this. I was convinced I’d spend my birthday alone this year... )

( Those explosions were the result of them trying to work together and make something for me... )

...

Ayato: Hm? Oi, Chichinashi? Whatcha spacin’ out for?

Laito: Huh? She stopped moving. Ooi~ Bitch-chan?

Kanato: I wonder what’s wrong? You better take a seat soon, or there will be no food left for you.

Subaru: O-Oi, are you cryin’...?

Yui: ...Uu...I mean, I’m just so happy...

Shuu: ...Why don’t you sit down first? If not, we can never get this party started.

Yui: Yes...

*Thud*

Reiji: Good grief. Use this handkerchief.

Yui: Ah...Thank you very much.

( I don’t want to annoy them but...I’m just so happy...I can’t stop these tears... )

Ayato: Come on, Chichinashi! Take a look at this big candle! I picked it out for you!

Laito: ...Eh? You’re only holding that one candle, but you didn’t buy just that, right?

Ayato: Ah? What are you sayin’? I like the number 1 so I only got this one! ...Hehe, pretty cool, right?

Reiji: I am fairly sure those big candles are only used up until the age of ten?

Ayato: ...Ah? Which means...

Subaru: Heh, you really are cringe-worthy...

Ayato: Aah!? Subaru, dare say that one more time.

Shuu: Shut up. Who cares about some stupid candle?

Kanato: Exactly. They’re only there to blow out after all.

Yui: Fufu, I’m fine with this. Thank you, Ayato-kun.

Ayato: See! Listen to Chichinashi! I really am the very best!

Kanato: Fufu, the cake looks delicious. I can have a taste now, right?

Reiji: Not yet, Kanato. Have some patience...

We did all of this, so we need to light the candle and properly celebrate her birthday, no?

Yui: Waah...! Thank you so much for today, guys!

Reiji: Happy birthday. Continue to grow into a fine lady.

Ayato: Come on, Chichinashi! Try some of this takoyaki! I made them especially for you!

Kanato: Happy birthday. Fufu, Teddy says congratulations as well.

Laito: Happy birthday, Bitch-chan~ You’re one step closer to adulthood, huh?

Subaru: ...Well, you know. I’m willin’ to celebrate your birthday. I don’t need to say anythin’ else, right?

Shuu: Oh well, I suppose you should celebrate it as you wish. ...Just keep it quiet.

Yui: ( You guys... )

Thank you so much...!

Ayato: Whatever, just try my takoyaki already!

Laito: Ahaha, most of the ones you made exploded so the few survivors must be very precious to you, huh?

Ayato: Shut up! Who cares ‘bout the details?

Yui: Yeah, thank you! I’ll give them a try.

Laito: ...Nfu~ Come on, you guys should have some of the food as well.

Subaru: I’m fuckin’ starvin’ after losin’ my temper a million times earlier. Load up my plate.

Laito: Roger~! Nfu~ Everything turned out great, so eat to your heart’s content~

Yui: ( Laito-kun really seems to be enjoying this. I wonder why...? )

Subaru: Ahー ...This takoyaki made me go through hell and back after all. I’m gonna chew it apart now.

Yui: S-Subaru-kun...I don’t think the food is at fault here.

Subaru: Hmph! ...Wait, the fuck!? W...Water...I need water!!

Yui: W-What’s wrong...!?

Anyway, here! A glass of water, Subaru-kun!

*Rustle*

Yui: ( He’s gulping it down, I wonder what’s wrong...? )

Subaru: Nguh...Haah...Oi, Laito! The fuck did you put into that takoyaki, bastard!?

Laito: Eeh~? Why are you accusing me? I made them together with Ayato-kun, remember?

Subaru: You’re the only one who is cunnin’ enough to pull such a sly prank!

Laito: Nfu~ Caught red-handed~ I just thought that putting a little surprise inside would help fire up this party.

Yui: L-Laito-kun...Is there something weird inside this takoyaki?

Laito: Inside some of them. In other words, it’s like playing Russian roulette~

Yui: Russian roulette...

Laito: Exactly! It’s fun to make things more thrilling like this, don’t you think? With a little help of some wasabi and habanero peppers~

Ayato: This shit’s hella spicy!!!! Water! Gimme water!!!!

Reiji: Haah...I cannot deal with this. Just leave the takoyaki be.

Yui: B-But...Will it be okay?

Kanato: It’s fine. Why don’t you try the cake instead?

Yui: I’ll cut everyone a piece then.

Shuu: Why would you do that? You’re the star of the party, aren’t you? Just let Reiji do the work.

Reiji: I wonder why I have to take orders from you?

Shuu: ...So you’re going to let her do it instead?

Reiji: Wellーー

Kanato: Why....?

Why won’t you hurry up and cut the cake!? Whatever, I will do it! Reiji, hand me that knife!!

Reiji: ...I suppose I have no other choice...Kanato, it is dangerous so please don’t knock on the table. I will cut the cake at once.

*Rustle*

Reiji: Please hand me a plate.

Yui: Ah, sure!

Kanato: This is the strawberry cake I put my heart and soul into! It looks delicious, don’t you think?

Yui: Yeah! It looks very cute too, and incredibly delicious!

Kanato: Fufu, of course. Right, Teddy?

Yui: ( I’m happy with this kind of birthday too... )

( I never fathomed they would all celebrate my birthday today like this... )

Laito: Nfu~ By the way, Bitch-chan?

Yui: Yes, Laito-kun?

Laito: As a way to congratulate you for your birthday...Who do you want to suck your blood?

Yui: Eh...!?

Laito: I mean~ Today’s a special day which only happens once a year, right? So to someone who just loves having her blood sucked like yourself...

I figured it would only seem fit to let you choose whose fangs you want for once.

Besides...We kind of want a little reward as well.

Nfu~ Personally~ ...I’d wrap a ribbon around your body and suck you in the most romantic way imaginable~

Yui: U-Um...

Ayato: Oi, Laito! Don’t just ramble on by yourself!

If that’s the case, choose me, ‘kay? Chichinashi.

I’ll give you the most surprising blood-sucking of a lifetime, it’ll leave you stunned!

Yui: Most surprising blood-sucking of a lifetime...?

Ayato: Hehe, you enjoyed today’s party, right?

In that case, I’ll give you a ‘surprise’ sucking as well. The details...I have yet to decide on.

Yui: ( W-What to do...? )

Reiji: Good grief, I wonder why they are all such a vulgar bunch?

Personally, I would dress you up in a way fit for a refined young lady before sucking your blood.

After finishing the look with a pearl necklace, I will sink my fangs right into that nape.

Yui: ( E-Even Reiji-san’s on board... )

Kanato: In that case, I’ll sink my fangs inside and suck your blood as if I’m indulging in a sweet strawberry. Biting the same spot over and over...Fufu.

Yui: ( Basically I can’t avoid having my blood sucked? )

Subaru: Have you all lost your minds!?

Yui: ( Subaru-kun...! )

Subaru: Why do you need a specific technique to suck blood? Just gulp that stuff down!

Yui: ( ...Seems like it’s set I’ll have my blood sucked one way or another... )

Shuu: Haah, what a drag...

Tell me where you want my fangs. Today, I’ll bite you wherever you want, as many times as you wish.

Yui: That’s...

Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! Make up your mind already! I’m not the most patient guy ‘round!

Shuu: Hurry up and choose...

Yui: E-Easy for you to say...

Laito: Say, Bitch-chan~? You want to get wrapped up in ribbons, no~?

Ayato: You like surprises, don’t you?

Kanato: You fancy strawberries, right?

Reiji: What are you all saying? She obviously wants to become a fine lady.

Subaru: Ridiculous...

Shuu: I’m tired but...I’ll stay awake until I’ve heard your answer.

Yui: ( What should I do...? I’m kind of overwhelmed by all of them. )

Sorry! I can’t pick who I would rather get bitten by!

ー Yui flees

Ayato: Ah, oi, wait! Chichinashi!

Laito: Hold it, Bitch-chan~!

Kanato: ...!! Why do you run away!?

Subaru: Wha...!?

Reiji: You...!

Shuu: Pwaah...

ー The scene shifts to Yui’s bedroom

Yui: ( They all went out of their way to throw me a surprise party, yet I ran away... )

( While I feel kind of bad, I had no other option with all of them closing in on me like that... )

*Rustle*

Yui: ...!?

Ayato: Hehe, gotcha? Chichinashi.

Yui: A-Ayato-kun...!?

( The others as well... )

Kanato: Say, why won’t you choose me when I tried so hard to come up with a tempting offer...?

Yui: Even if you say that...

Ayato: Hehe, you would never choose anyone but me, would you?

I mean, your special blood exists only to quench my thirst...Right?

Yui: W-Wait.

Shuu: Haah...What a drag. If you can’t make up your mind, you should just pick me.

Laito: Nfu~ And why exactly should she do that? You just love appearing out of nowhere and dropping the bomb, don’t you?

Reiji: That being said, we were able to trap her against the wall.

Yui: U-Um...

( Oh no...I have nowhere to run... )

Subaru: Say...Oi, was it really our goal to drive her in a corner like this today?

Laito: Ah, right! We wanted to celebrate her birthday, didn’t we?

Hm~ I guess it can’t be helped then.

You can just wrap yourself up as a present for my birthday instead, okay?

Yui: ( I can’t do that! )

Subaru: Geez, it turned out like this ‘cause you just couldn’t make up your damn mind.

Yui: ( I-Is this my fault? )

Subaru: What?

Yui: S-Sorry...!

( I instinctively apologized, but he helped me out, right? )

Laito: Well then, to get back on the right track, here’s my birthday present to you.

Yui: ...Eh?

Laito: A birthday kiss...on your cheek...Nn.

*Smooch*

Ayato: Ahー! The fuck you doin’, Laito!?

Laito: What do you mean~? A birthday kiss! Oh come on, I can do this much, right?

Kanato: Hmph...In that case, from me as well...

Yui: Eh? K-Kanato-kun?

Kanato: Can you show me your hand already? Honestly, you’re so tactless...Nn.

*Smooch*

Yui: Why...!?

Kanato: Do I need to give you my reasoning?

Ayato: Why do I have to give Chichinashi a reward?

Well, I’m sure you’re dyin’ to get a present from Yours Truly, so it can’t be helped. I’ll be so generous to give you one as well! ...Nn.

*Smooch*

Yui: W-Wait, Ayato-kun...!

( He kissed me on the opposite cheek...!? )

Reiji: Fufu, in that case, I shall give you a present as well. Nn...You better remember it. That this was a gift from me.

*Smooch*

Yui: ( ...!? )

( On my other hand...! )

Subaru: ...Che. Why are you all kissin’ the same chick!? I’m not takin’ part in this.

Yui: U-Um...Subaru-kuーー

Subaru: But, I guess I have no choice...So I’ll give you one as well. ...Nn.

*Smooch*

Yui: ( Subaru-kun went for my forehead...For some reason, my whole body is burning with embarrassment! )

Shuu: Haah...It’s a chore but...To make sure you don’t forget mine...Nn.

Yui: ( A kiss on the top of my head from Shuu... )

( Those kisses just now were embarrassing and surprised me a lot but... )

( I suppose this is their way of congratulating me, huh...? )

Truly, thank you so much, you guys!

ーー THE END ーー

this is less a tutorial and more a semi in-depth explanation on my process while taking screenies. my do’s and don’ts about lightning, angles, text/dialogue, close-ups and other!

as a disclaimer, anyone is free to take their screenies however they want and this is just my personal preference and opinions ♡ everything is under the cut! i did say its LONG so dont say i didnt warn u 😳

i use the nobluv2 and noglo mods by luumia! i recommend them 100000%

1. lightning

with its exceptions, this being i’m in a room with candles/chandelier/anything that doesnt naturally produce a white light OR ambiance reasons, my setting with screenies is with the ‘Neutral White’ color. this is for me, more visually appealing than just bathing your sim in yellow light.

EXAMPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

warmer white:

poor lit:

good <3:

i usually test my lightning before i actually take any screenies so my sim is well-lit but also preventing overexposure bc of the lighting. an example of overexposure is when for example the lighting is SO strong, your sim looks like its ‘shining’

you can see it here on her chest highlights, her arm and her cheeks. i exaggerated it here so its more obvious. fixing overexposure is HARDER than upping the brightness in a poor-lit screenshot. overexposure and makin sims look like they are SHINING is a crime. JAIL

the best light ever tbh. just dont get... to carried away

1.2 outdoor lightning

this is one a bit trickier depending on your location but USUALLY your screenies would look well dark. again, test lightning before actually shooting screenies! i generally look for a lamp posts that have good lightning and shrink them down so if im taking angled shots, it doesnt get in the way. change the color to neutral white and if its too much lightning, just lower the dimmer:

2. just no

just no to all this:

in general, you can ZOOM to the max, and with the scroll-wheel zoom out THREE TIMES. four times we on the edge but its still acceptable. five times and you are goin to JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in general i also recommend having a semi-big room so you can move around without any problems. small rooms DO work but chances are while moving around you’re either going to go outside the room, run into a plant in the shot or into another decor item.

for example, this is a ‘small’ room. while taking photos i have run into the bookshelves for over the shoulder shots like 8000 times. still, doable, but why put myself thru the suffering>?????

2.2 fill the room

nothin sadder than, for example, doing a bedroom scene and there just being...a bed. the game comes with so much clutter and theres also a lot of clutter cc to make rooms seem more ‘lived in’. its also a lot more visually appealing than the room being empty.

3. angles for screenies

my controversial OPINION!!!! i dont care for FULL surroundings shots for more than for a singular panel. THERE I SAID IT!!! usually i show the surroundings/scene setting in ONE panel and then i move on to other angles. again, has exceptions. these being a banquet, party, ball, another sim joins the scene, montages, etc! ANYWHERE that has something happening with multiple people in general.

for example, i don’t see why repeat the same angle with different poses. i can do it for one panel, but for the next ones? there’s the option of over the shoulder shots, detail shots, them looking at each other shots, cinammon tography shots........... more than likely your reader already has an idea of where your characters are so showing it in every single panel is not necessary.

always try and leave a lil breathin room for the heads on top so it isnt all CRAMPED! but this all depends on the pose, if theres a height difference included in said poses and the angle you are taking the screenshot from!

same thing about not just doing...full on surrounding shots for when something is HAPPENING. say, someone is fainting, collapsing...ANYTHIN!! theres so many shot options than just repeating the same angle over and over again. DONT BE SHY!!!! DO VARIETY !!!

we in photography class now. BUT yes keep these in mind ALSO while taking photos so it isnt just the same angle, same distance just different pose. your sim has a nice outfit? showing it once is enough! every panel? ummmm......... your sim is crying? do a medium close up/medium shot and not a full body shot!

3.1 close ups

your close ups and ALL screenies in general, don’t have to be FRONTAL only. they can be right/left side, a lil angled...

waist/chest level is a good level for a close-up sim wise since if you ZOOM in too much WELL

4. text/dialogue

i’d recommend any SANS-SERIF fonts. serif fonts are so hard to read even if nice looking. usually a font-size of over 40px+ works and you can add outside stroke and even drop shadow!

i personally use calibri (bold italic) for my screenies, but other subtitle fonts like arial, myriad pro, helvetica...really any sans-serif ones work.

my stroke settings:

i also wouldn’t recommend putting 4000 word paragraphs in ONE screenie because it’s just visually exhausting. the MAXIMUM i’d do and thats if ABSOLUTELY necessary is FOUR!!!! lines of text. id keep it to three ONLY and thats if your text is the same size as mine. if bigger then two 😳

yes <3:

another no-no for readability is INSIDE stroke or adding bevel/emboss to the text. pick bright, contrasting colors to the background or even clothes your characters are wearing so it’s not hard to read.

something a lil extra i also recommend is if your dialogue has different sentences and one ends and another one starts in the same line, continue it on another line. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE ok lets see:

the “Yes, maybe I went on [...]” continues on the first line, but to make it a bit easier to read just press enter and move it to the second line so it’s on it’s own line.

same thing for the "Be nice or [...]” line! it gets cut off to the third line anyways, so just put it in a singular line. final result:

for me, this is easier to read, less I GUESS ‘immersion breaking’ and easier on the eyes too.

and just other quick things to keep in mind:

will the post be horizontal or vertical? if its vertical, you have to angle and move the camera around keeping in mind you’re going to crop it later. yes, the scenary might be nice if its horizontal, but a lil vertical photo is cute!

best times for OUTDOOR lightning photos are 2pm-4pm. morning light is a bit too dark, 12 pm is the slightest too bright, but 2pm-4pm is just ENOUGH!!!

and thats all : ) i THINK i talked about most things screenies wise??? if you have questions, my askbox is always open : ) and remember these are just my opinions : )

#howto #AGAIN?? yes i again i talked for 5000 words or something #NO IM EXAGGERATING just a lil tho #why this feel like im doing a presentation for uni sdkjfksdjfks

You know what I don't know much about CD collections but it's nice to hear about collections. What's a CD from your collection that you are proud/happy to own and do you have a CD (or a few of them) that was very expensive when you bought it? -Food anon

IM VERY GLAD U ASKED FOOD ANON

First of all trust me my CD collection isn't anythin fancy It's really just a bunch of CD's in the corner of my room that I Love Very Much My favorite part of the collection (not necessarily my fave album overall) is Ab 18 (18+) by Die Ärzte which is an EP that was made as a result of 3 of their songs being "banned" at the time - I'll explain that in a sec - and a few more songs added that weren't banned per se but definitely questionable or Weird. Nowadays only one of the songs and therefore also the Whole Album is in the so called "index"

^^^Said album btw (It says "Warning! Sold only to teenagers over the age of 18") All offers I saw on ebay were 40-80€ at the time except for Bids and I got lucky and bid 35€ on one of em and Got It. Most I spent for any Album (usually I try and spend under 10€ for used CDs, a bit more If I have to) I just think the whole history behind some of these songs is fucking Hilarous, won't get into it in detail and I wanna put a Disclaimer that obvs I dont support all of the Off The Wall stuff they sing about (and neither do they) but its like. Sexual shock humor from the 80s I don't think It's worth getting mad over nowadays LOL I just think It's a neat piece of Ärzte Lore. Also one of the songs (instrumental wise) is one of the prettiest songs they have and I'm mad /lh I'll put some more explanation under the cut for whoever is curious about the whole banning thing

Thanks to the Bundeszentrale für Kinder- und Jugendmedienschutz (Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors) three of DÄ's songs were in the Index back in the day, which is a list that collects all media that is seen as harmful to minors. Having your song on there basically means you can't publicly display it, adveritse it, sell it to minors (iirc you have to Ask the seller If they have it) or play it live. They also have movies and video games, however not If It's already 18+ as far as I know. There is a lot more about it, If you wanna read about it you can go here (Just found out they have an english article! Awesome) Fair warning It does mention some sensitive topics A few german punk bands I like such as Wizo got this treatment too for having songs that "encourage violence and terrorism" since the song is basically a huge "fuck the state and blow up rich people" anarchy etc track. The song is called "Kein Gerede" If ur curious The first Ärzte album got that quirky little sticker for having a song on there that ended up on the Index

Which reads "This product cannot be sold to people under 18 due to Child Safety laws and is not allowed to be advertised publicly" Eventually they removed songs from the albums and rereleased them, funfact when I saw one of their Albums in the store yesterday It had a sticker on it that said the album CAN infact be purchased by people who are under 18 since one of the songs is removed The More You Know!

Adrift- Chapter 2:

< Previous | Next >

Last time: A plain looking plus sized woman comes aboard the ship that had been docked for weeks. She’s the captain’s newest toy and she tells him about Bangtan Island where riches await and girl do to. The ship’s poet, Hoseok, is excited for his heart longs to the sea. However, his heart longs for the captain’s girl as they spend time together. A storm occurs, and they blame the woman. He doesn’t want her to go, but even as she asks him to come with her he can’t join her. She’s not human. Then what is she?

Sailor Hoseok was put into the brig, but he still wrote when there was enough light and the ocean was steady. He had never felt so homesick in his life. Usually, the sea was his home, but now it felt like hell. He missed his mom a lot and even wrote about her.

My mom’s voice That I hear is clear What I remember is My mom’s strength back then was my curve ball For real I was determined to be successful With that one promise I became the son I am now

Hey mama I’m sorry mama For realizing now how much you’ve done for me, mama

Hey mama So thanks mama For being my blood and flesh, mama

The captain returned today, trying to ask him questions he didn’t know the answer to.

“What did you and the sea hag talk about when she was away from me?”

“Nothing but my poems. She was interested in them, and so I showed them to her.”

He faked his kindness, “I’m yer friend here, Hoseok. Tell me what kinds a poems were dey? Were dey love poems?”

Hoseok was honest, “Yes, but no woman ever graced my pages. My one and only love has been the ocean. The sea in all her shimmering beauty could never compare to--”

“Enough with that malarkey! Why did she ask you of all the men on my ship to come with her? What as this second chance she was talking about?”

“I don’t know, captain! That’s the first time I ever heard her ask me such a question. I swear to you!”

Captain Eumgyeong knocked over his stool in anger, “Fine! You don’t wanna tell me the truth! Stay in ‘ere then! Waste of my time!” He walked away and back to the surface, taking his lantern with him.

Before (Y/N), every poem he wrote that any inkling of true love was about the sea. Her waves. Her hidden treasures. Nothing else could compare until it swallowed his goddess whole. She was so different that the usual women who managed to seduce and steal from the captain and disappear the next morning with a new treasure of her own and probably some tropical disease.

Jimin came down a few minutes later, “Are you ok?”

“I’m as good as can be. How long did the captain say I’m stuck down here for, or is it just when he’s done being mad?”

“When we reach land again, you have to do some convinvin’ if you wanna stay. You’ll be free, but he’s pretty mad. Even Sailor Yoongi got some crap for persuadin’ Cap to let her come along.” Jimin laughed. “He threw it back in the captain’s face, and I was sure he was gonna challenge Yoongi to a duel.”

Hoseok begged Jimin for the details. Apparently, it was only a few hours after he had been put down here. Jimin was dancing as he usually did to cheer up the remaining shipmates, and the captain had been muttering under his breath. Yoongi heard his name and told the captain to speak up. Captain Eumgyeong yelled and said that it was Yoongi’s fault they had lost their sailors because he tricked him.

Yoongi had replied, “You’re the captain. You have the final word, don’t you? I’m just a sailor. I’m under your rule. You have no one to blame but yourself, Captain Eumg-yeong.”

Hobi laughed. Of course he would’ve said that. After giving Hoseok some food and water, Jimin went back up before he got in trouble. The black-haired lonely sailor soon fell asleep after eating the stale bread. He dreamt about (Y/N), but in a form he had never seen before with his own eyes.

It started with her on the plank in the storm. He decided to go with her. Hoseok didn’t even like his captain, so he had not much to lose other than two friends. And he loved her, why not go? They hold hands and jump together, feet first into that greedy waves. As they are both submerged in water, he had trouble breathing. Was it because of the cold or the sight before him?

(Y/N) began to change and transform. Her top was the same but seemed like it was embedded with the sun. As his eyes went down her frame, her legs got more slender, and soon enough, they weren’t even legs at all. It was a fish tail made up of the most glorious greens and blues. Hints of purple here and there making sure the viewer knew this was nothing short of magic.

He began to choke, but she kissed him. When their lips met, he was able to breathe as if he were on land.

“I promised you that you’d be safe, Hobi.”

Then she swam while holding his hand. A rough ocean bump woke Hoseok and he wrote. He wrote about a women, a human or whatever woman for the first time in his life. He didn’t need freedom. He just wanted her, wanted her to be ok. Even as he wrote, he wanted her to read his things. He craved her support..and more paper. He threw all his poems about her and for her out the small porthole in the chance his dream was real and she would be able to somehow read them.

But you’re my everything (You’re my) Everything (You’re my) Everything (You’re my) Please go away huh

I’m sorry (I hate u) I love you (I hate u) Forgive me

I need you girl Why am I in love alone, why am I hurting alone I need you girl Why do I keep needing you when I know I’ll get hurt?

I need you girl, you’re beautiful I need you girl, you’re so cold I need you girl (I need you girl) I need you girl (I need you girl)

The walls became his canvas when he was out of paper. It wasn’t until Yoongi unlocked the bars that he finally woke up.

“You gonna come out, or are you gonna stay in there? And it better be the latter ‘cuz Cap wants ta talk ta ya before we’re allowed to go on land.”

Hoseok got out and knew he smelled horribly. It didn’t matter. He walked out and was saddened by the lack of mates that were left. The breath that filled his lungs was more air than seawater, and it felt like he hadn’t had oxygen in forever.

“Get yer arse over here, Hoseok!”

“Yes, Captain.” He jogged to a place around the man.

But it was the same as always. They were allowed to go on land for however long. The main job was to recruit more sailors to join them on voyages. They had to make sure they were skilled and had sailed before.

“No more en’tainers. We’s enough of them already.” His eyes stared glassy daggers at Hoseok and Jimin. “Also, I’m goin’ ta see if that sea hag was tellin’ the truth about Bangtan Island. If it’s as popular as she says, someone round her must know ‘bout it. Dismissed...men.”

Before the storm, there were about 35 men on the ship. Now, it was just Yoongi, Jimin, six of the jerks, Cannonball Bang, and Hoseok. Ten. Only ten were left after the horrible storm. They weren’t great people, but they were decent sailors. Family, nonetheless.

Captain Eumgyeong went to the nearest tavern and asked for their biggest pint of whatever, and most of the other men did the same. He put down a bag of golden coins to let her know it��d be covered. The barmaid was fine with it. He looked around and saw a lot of brown eyes surrounded by brown skin and braids and curls. Freckles on some. Others were obviously mixed children. Others skin as pale as the moon with eyes sharp as rocks. Sunken eyes. Blues. Greens. Mixes and matches of all sorts.

All in all, it was diversity heaven. He knew he’d get some answers. His first question was to the barmaid who had her orange curls held in several braids that sprouted every which way.

“Miss, have you heard of a place called Bangtan Island.”

She grinned and her eyes glittered, “Of course. It’s not too far off. Many of the people here were born and bred on that very island. That’s how we bought this land for ourselves, our ancestors anyhow. It seems to be where all the riches from sunken ships go ta’ if you ask me.”

“So it’s real?” One of the jerks asked.

“As real as you need it to be. Only those with pure souls make it past the barrier, though. Steep jagged rocks home to the island’s protectors.” The woman handed a young man in a straw hat his drink. “Many are afraid to go after hearing about it.”

“I ain’t.” Captain Eumgyeong replied. “My remaining men aren’t afraid, and if they are, they can piss off.”

The Barmaid asked what he was talking about, and he shared his sad story about the woman and the sea. How he was lied to and maybe betrayed by one of his men. He looked around.

“Where is that raven now? He’s got black hair and talks a lot. Writes a lot too.”

Hoseok was in the tavern with his back to the captain, his head lost in thought, silent as a tomb. Inside his mind, he wondered if he had gone crazy down there in the ship’s prison. He had never written that much in such a short period ever, and never about a human unless the captain or someone asked. And why would he have thrown them out the window?

Crazy. Absolutely nuts.

But did she get them? He wondered, head in his hand. The other was firmly gripped on a mug of something yellow. Yoongi and Jimin came to sit next to him with drinks of their own. They pat his back.

“Glad you’re back above sea level, dude. Why did she even ask you to come with her in the first place.” Yoongi asked.

“It should’ve been me.” Jimin pouted and laughed, trying to bring up the mood.

Hobi shook his head, “I have no idea. I don’t know why she asked me.”

He looked back to see the Captain being surrounded by girls as they sung to him. The local performers. They seemed incredibly pretty as they were in corsets that thinned their waists and made their hips the focus of their body along with their blossoming bosoms. They sang about Bangtan Island and the hope and riches it brought. Captain was paying so much attention to them that he looked like he was in a trance.

Yoongi took a sip, “Have you written anything while down there? Anythin’ we can look forward to?”

“Well, I did write, but they all flew out of the window while I was asleep. There was nothing to keep them still down there. I’ll probably make something sooner or later. Might focus more on dance.”

Jimin smiled, “Yay! I missed my dance partner.” He looked around and his smile fell. “It feels so empty without the others.”

“A lot of them were assholes.”

“Still. Some of them were just led astray into asshole life, but they were good men.”

Hoseok scoffed, “An even better woman drowned, and they always bullied me. I feel no pity. Just sorta wished it had been more peaceful.”

This was a surprise coming from Hobi, the sunshine of the crew. The one that made everyone happy just with a short conversation and a smile. His two friends couldn’t understand how much he had been through in such a short period of time, and he didn’t try to explain. They just figured those guys had been meaner to him than they knew.

Captain Eumgyeong’s bass voice bellowed out, “A ROUND OF DRINKS FOR EVERYONE! Tonight we party in the name of beating death!”

Jaunty tunes played and Jimin got his friend to dance with him. Captain Eumgyeong bragged about them, gaining his own popularity. Drinks on drinks on drink were had and sobs turned into laughter and turned into drunken sobbing. Pretty girl and gorgeous boys and beautiful people of all sorts flirted with one another.

Right, they had to get new sailors. A small and scrawny boy about age 17 with a rabbit smile caught Jimin’s attention. He was a fisherman who had snuck into the bar with his friend Taehyung who had the idea in the first place since he was older.

One of the men working there as a chef seemed to have gained the favor of Cannonball and the Captain and was asked to come along. He said that he’d think about it since he wasn’t too appreciated here. A guy named Namjoon had come in and was known as the local tinker. He was always making new things, and and old friend of Yoongi. They caught up and was invited to join the voyage.

Hoseok was feeling much better, but he still decided to take a step outside and get some fresh air since it smelled pretty rank in there. As he started on his walk, he thought he saw (Y/N) again. He couldn’t help but run after her through the cobblestone streets. Around all the corners, he followed the slight glow that trailed behind her.

She stopped in front of the sea and waited for him, a red glow from a local party contrasting the natural blue of the night. It was her. It was definitely her.

“It really is you.”

“Hi, Hobi.”

“A lot of men died.”

“Wasn’t my decision. They were bad ones anyways.”

He nodded. She wasn’t wrong. In the pale moonlight, he scales twinkled.

“You’re not human, are you?” He asked.

She shook her head, “Nope.”

“You’re a mermaid.”

“A sister of the sea. Yes.”

“How?”

She held his hands and put her forehead against his.

This Captain had been her lover since they were teenagers. He trusted her with everything he had. Most of her men did, too. Anyone who dare challenge him was killed or threatened. You were the love of his life.

“We sail together, or we drown together my dear. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere without you in life or death.” He kissed you while sailing under the precious full moon.

Then a horrible storm approached and they turned on you and the other women that resided on the ship. It was just a rumor that the sea gave bad luck to ships with female passengers, but it was one that her lover believed after they rescued flailing sailors.

Still, he stood there, feather in his hat, patch on his eye and said it wasn’t his fault the sea demanded her as a sacrifice. What he meant was that it wasn’t your fault he loved the sea more than you. He wanted to keep his men and his ship more than he wanted you. So the man who had spread the poison jabbed his sword at the women.

“I always thought that we’d drown together my love.”

He looked away and the women decided anything was better than to be where they were now. They welcomed the icy embrace of the unforgiving ocean. He would kill them swift if he really wanted them. Instead, they were held in warmth and untied as they died and their lungs filled with the sea’s essence.

Instead of complete death, the ocean was calm this far down and kissed them awake. Their legs stayed bound, but they became something more than legs as the rope was taken away by an invisible presence. They could breath now. You could breathe now. The ocean was a part of you, and you were a part of it.

“Maybe we won’t drown together, but you surely will, my so-called love.”

Hoseok gasped, “I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be.” Her eyes had an iridescent shine to them as well, “I really do like you. My past is just that. I want my future to be with you. Will you join me?”

Again, he refused. I like you too, but I can’t do that. I’m sorry.”

She furrowed his brows, “I can only ask you this once more before we can never be together again.”

“Then don’t ask again. I don’t belong in the sea, (Y/N). I belong on it.”

She smiled sadly and swallowed, “If that’s what you believe, then I shall not ask again. See you soon, Hoseok.”

And she left to swim in the sea, leaving behind footprints that glowed blue in the night time sand.

What is the best 4x4 as a first car? Also cheap to run.?

I live in a pretty rugged region, and, for my intended job as a country vet it would really help to have a car tough enough to cope with the bumps and ruts. Now I know that the best 4x4 overall is the land rover defender and, money permitting, of course I'd have one. But to run and insure nearly all 4x4s are massively expensive! So far I've considered the old rav 4, a suzuki ignis, or the old fiat panda 4x4 and as of yet, i prefer the latter as it seems cheap to run, cheap to insure and also has the practicality of being small but robust. So if there is any other car better suited to this, ideally as cheap as possible to buy, run and insure, then I'd really be glad of the help.""

What is the average employee portion of a health insurance policy?

Why does Health Insurance cover routine check ups?

How do insurance companies determine pain and suffering if the person's insurance covers medical bill in full?

On 02/14/12, I was at a complete stop on the freeway when the person behind me hit my car and launched me into the person in front of me. My car was totalled and I spent the night in the ER. I have a severe cervical spine strain (severe whiplash), blunt chest trauma, (from hitting the steering wheel), and just all over back pain. They said they were going to pay for pain and suffering, but when I looked it up it said that is typically double the medical bills. However, my medical insurance (Medi-cal), covered it in full. So now how do they determine it? Should I get the bills before the insurance kicked in? And also, I'm not interested in hiring a lawyer, I just want this over and done with so my life can move on.""

Does auto insurance cover the vehicle or the driver (California)?

I work on a military installation and I'm required to have the appropriate decals on my car to enter through the gates. I went to renew my decals as they are only good for 3 years and I was denied. My registration has both my dad and I listed (since he paid for the car), but my insurance policy only has him listed because he foots the bill, but I am a covered driver. My vehicle ID number, make, model, and year is listed on both the registration and proof of insurance card. My name is on the registration so I thought this would suffice (especially because they already gave me decals/passes in the past). The marine I was speaking to said that what I am doing is illegal in the state of California and that I must be a policy holder in order to be covered. I always thought that insurance covered the car. Can anyone clarify this issue and reference the California Vehicle Code? I've searched and searched and cannot find accurate clarification. I wanted to be able to print something and show it to him. If I can't find proof then I can't get to work.""

Can he now pay a reduced rate until the insurance is sorted out? It seems unfair to continue paying out for fully comp insurance when there is no car to insure!""

Why the health insurance are different than car insurance?

I mean insurance is protection and give you money when you got into situation that cause loss or expenses. But why car insurance are less picky and more willing to give money to pay out than health insurance? Why more rules and more restriction and more reject the coverage with health than car? I mean I understand insurance is business and for profit so they has to refuse the claims if loop hole. But it shouldn't be any different on health or car coverage.
