#i remember last year or two years ago i NEVER saw teslas. maybe like one or two once in a blue moon and then all of a sudden-

[youredreamingofroo]

if I had a dollar for everytime I've seen a cybertruck around where I live, I would have two, it's not a lot, but it's weird as hell that it's happened twice

[o-hora-o]

i just remembered that ae became really morally gray; they supported experiments on children to some extent with cocolia's orphanage and lieserl didn't hesitate to drug cecilia, tesla brainwashed a student too ? like they drug people now it's hilarious to me- lieserl not caring about 90% of people around her despite everything is not so far-stretched (i really think it's just tesla and welt, with the addition of coralie and joey in the circle) i wonder if ae was already so morally grau when emma was still around or if it's a consequence of her loss

Omg, another great topic, thank you!!! <3

In the beginning of hi3, they are presented as a villain organization. However, you're right, that is not far from the truth.  

Lieserl drugging Cecilia scene lives rent free in my brain. She was so unbothered as if drugging people actually is her side hobby. Apparently, her another hobby is to tell people about their loss- she told Himeko about her father's death and then just stood there and watched while Himeko cried on the floor in front of her as in “sorrows sorrows prayers”. Or when she told Mei about Kiana’s condition and that she would not last long as in “it is what it is”. 

And yes, she and Tesla have brainwashed, threatened and manipulated people. I especially love this part: 

And let’s not forget that they saw K423 as a threat and wanted to...get rid of her? 

Not to mention the Project Signa aftermath...well, it's not 100% their decision but this was the price they were ready to pay:

As for Emma... in the vn she didn't want them to ever be a part of some conflicts so probably they really did went nuts after her death and took a different approach.

Or

55's aftermath really did destroy Emma to the point where she went "ok, look, meine lieben, we have Edison's money for now but the day will come when we're no longer rich, so, what do you think about... free child labour and experiments on them?"

And Cocolia...truly is an interesting case. Remember how in the Eye of the Deep arc they had to vote whether or not they lose the Gem and let Cocolia die or split forces? And then Ein voted for plan 1 with no hesitation? :D

And, ironically, she was the one who had to go and meet Cocolia because between Ein and Tesla - Ein most likely wouldn't punch Cocolia in the face during their negotiation even if she wanted to. Instead of being punched in the face by Ein, Cocolia's fate was to go to a prison and be completely forgotten by the writers ever since.

Anyway, we're all aware of how much Ein despises and hates Cocolia (that's almost the only emotion she failed to hide) and we all know why. The clones.

This clones story is also known as the "one of the biggest plot holes writers can't fix". So if you never played APHO then that 5 years time skip in the main story literally feels like:

How, when, where- these are all the questions that go hand in hand with the clone story. And it starts with Cocolia.

She was in prison ever since the Eye of the Deep arc, theoretically. Did she create Joey all those years ago and kept him hidden? And then he somehow escaped? Or was he hanging out in the orphanage? And if she did, how? Just how she managed to create Welt's clone. And not one, not two but more than three clones. When. Because let's suppose you need the core to make his clone. The core was with Joachim then it was in the Sea of Quanta and then Cocolia got to prison. In this case, you don't need the core.

Alright, but you certainly need his DNA, right? In this case, AE has some secret Welt Joyce DNA bank. Maybe them trying to locate his soul in the core wasn't enough and they were very much inspired by Otto's clones. But. How they got his DNA then? Dig up his grave? When I said that they went nuts after Emma's death I didn't mean THIS nuts.

Their level of being nuts ends where Ein and Joachim started to share the hobby of killing Welt's clones with their own hands, thanks to Cocolia. And then they met Joffrey-

Iron Dad Tony

Since the Widow had learned his secret and been so understanding, Peter became a bit less careful. While he used to only wear his old skirt when he was alone in the compound, now he would wear his new clothes when only one or two people were present or if Natasha decided they needed special training nights, which were girls nights where they would train and then watch action movies while making fun of the bad scripts and stunts. They would also paint each other's nails and do each other's hair. It was awesome.

As promised, Natasha burned his old skirt to ashes, but with his consent. Three days later, she gifted Peter a frame with a small piece of the skirt inside and it made Peter’s heart swell with love.

He could now say that his old skirt had been awful; it had too many colors and some nasty stains, but it still had been his first, so he had put the small memorabilia on his shelf.

--

Today, Peter, Mr. Stark, and Dr. Banner were the only ones present at the compound, so Peter put on a nice skirt that was full of colors, and that kind of looked like silk. It was one of Peter’s new favorites because it would swirl and flare when he walked.

After dancing around for a bit, and watching the effect in the mirror of his bedroom at the compound, Peter decided it was time to work on his assignment for next week.

Peter was fully engrossed in his work when his phone buzzed loudly.

>> Kid, I know you’re busy with your assignment, but I have an emergency here. Could you come by? - TS

Without even thinking about it, Peter rapidly answered

<< Sure Mr. Stark. Omw

With that sent Peter left his bedroom, not remembering in his rush that he was still wearing his new skirt.

--

When Peter entered the workshop of Mr. Stark, the billionaire briefly took his eyes away from the armor he was working on.

“Kid, you may want to change before coming closer. Motor oil is a bitch to take out of silk.” The comment was said offhandedly, as if Mr. Stark wasn’t talking to his mentee wearing a fucking skirt.

Peter felt his cheeks redden, realizing he had left his room in such a hurry that he hadn’t thought to change. He was startled when Mr. Stark started to talk again.

“Pete, it’s kind of an emergency here. Can you change and move on, please?” The urgency in his mentor’s voice got Peter to move, but not to change. “Pete, you’re going to stain the skirt, come on.” But Peter didn’t listen.

“What do you need me for, Mr. Stark?”

The older man sighed but started to explain.

For three hours the two men worked seamlessly like they always do. When the part of the armor they were working on was done, Mr. Stark silently led Peter to the sofa in the lab. He made Peter spin once, to look over the skirt before he let Peter sit on the couch next to him.

“So, Petey Pie. When did you start to wear skirts, and why did you never tell me?” Mr. Stark sounded calm and not disgusted; Peter did not really know what to think about it. “And this isn’t silk. What for the love of Tesla is that thing?”

Peter sighed. Were they all going to criticize the type of skirts he was wearing and not the fact he was wearing them?

“I-I started to wear one, uh, 4 years ago?” Peter felt his cheeks redden again and bowed his head to look at his hands, avoiding Mr. Stark’s gaze. “I found it--well... it was truly horrid, Natasha burned i-” Before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Stark cut him off with a frown.

“Wait, hold on, Underoos. Natasha knew before me?” The billionaire puts a hand on his chest; always one for dramatics. “Why? Wait, no, she’s a superspy. Did she guess?”

“She walked in on me,” Peter admitted. He felt rough fingers against his chin to lift his head up and force his eyes to meet his mentor.

“You know, when I was your age - a little younger maybe - I had a... well, Dad and--Dad called it a phase.” Peter knew his mentor had meant Dad and Obadiah Stane. It made Peter want to punch the guy. “For an entire month, I wore nothing but very short skirts.” Peter’s breath hitched at the confession, making Mr. Stark smirk. “To be honest, I only wore them to make my dad angry, but I still liked it, and those skirts made my ass look like sin. Well, everything makes my ass look like sin, but the skirts...they were really nice.”

“But, then, why did you stop? And why does no one know about that?” Peter asked with a small voice, still looking at his mentor even if the man had let go of his chin sometime before.

“I--They made me. If I am being honest, they paid a lot of people a lot of money to bury every piece of evidence from that month.” Mr. Stark frowned suddenly. “FRI, baby girl?”

“Yes, boss?” The AI answered.

“Do we still have pictures of that time?” There was a short silence before the AI starts to talk again.

“Yes boss, we do,” the mechanical voice sounded, amused.

“We should leak those one day.” Peter choked on nothing, making the older man wink at him. “Oh, and before I forget, FRI, call Thomas and tell him to bring skirts and dresses for my protegé.” FRIDAY didn’t answer, but Peter supposed she already was calling whoever Thomas was.

Mr. Stark stood, making a gesture at Peter to stay put, and went to a little room where he kept a small desk to do things that didn’t warrant going to his main office. He came back with a kraft envelope and sat back while he simply gave the envelope to Peter.

“I was supposed to give this to you on your Birthday, but I think there will be no better occasion than this one.” Peter watched the envelope dumbly, asking himself what was inside. “Open it up, kid.”

However, before Peter could move, FRIDAY started to talk again.

“Sir, Mr. Watson refuses to ‘clothe a man with a dress’.”

Tony lifted an eyebrow. “Fire him.” Peter opened his mouth to argue that there was no need to fire someone over him, but Mr. Stark continued. “Wait, was he insulting?”

“Yes, sir.” If she hadn’t been only code, Peter would have said FRIDAY was angry, but Peter was probably projecting.

“Ok, sue him and then fire him or the other way around. Let Legal take care of that. Shit, Pepper is going to kill me,” Mr. Stark muttered, standing up to start to pace.

“Mrs. Potts has not been using Mr. Watson’s services for some years, boss. Not after they had an argument about the place of women.” Peter saw his mentor getting angry at hearing that. “She has another tailor. His name is Richard Bernard and he comes highly recommended by Mrs. Potts. Should I call him?”

Mr. Stark huffed. “Yes, you do that. And FRIDAY? Next time someone treats my wife badly, tell me. While she can take care of herself, I refuse to continue to employ assholes. Tell her that.” Peter smiled softly at the ardor in his mentor’s demeanor. Mr. Stark breathed deeply and turned to Peter. “Now, kid, open the thing.” Mr. Stark made a wide gesture to the kraft envelope still on Peter’s lap.

Peter carefully pulled the tab and opened the envelope, taking the papers before looking up at Mr. Stark to make sure he could read them. Mr.Stark nodded, encouragingly, so Peter started to read and was startled at the content on the first paper. Peter frantically began to go through all of the papers, but they all said the same thing: Adoption.

When Peter looked up from the papers on his knees, it was to see Mr. Stark kneeling in front of him, watching Peter with a smile, and taking one of Peter’s hands inside his.

“We have known each other for years, and I would never hope for a better son than you, and for someone better to inherit Stark Industries when my time comes, Peter Parker.” Peter wanted to interrupt; wanted to tell the man that while Peter saw him as a dad too...that Peter would love nothing more on this earth than to be his son, but he was not worth it. He was only Peter, after all.

But Tony Stark knew him too well and just continued to talk, gently squeezing Peter’s hand. “You are smart, kind, and brave. I once told you that I wanted you to be better, and the truth is, you always were better. No, Peter, I may have changed the last decade or so, but at your age, I was nowhere as good as you. I would never have been a hero if I had received your powers. I am so proud of the man you have become, and I want to officially call you a son.”

“But--I know nothing about business,” Peter said lamely. It made Tony smile.

“Well, it’s not knowledge I was born with, you know. There are some classes you can take, and Pepper and I are ready to teach you everything we know. We would have done this sooner, but we wanted to give you until your 21st Birthday to be a normal kid.” Tony gently stroked Peter’s hand. “And before you ask, no, I do not care that you wear skirts or that you are bisexual. Yes, I know about that, I’ve seen how you watch the Soldier.” Peter wanted to deny it, but he really couldn’t because he currently had a very big and hopeless crush on one James Buchanan Barnes. “There is nothing--except going to work for Hammer Tech, and maybe SHIELD--that will change the way I see you. You are my kid, Peter Parker. Will you agree to be my son?”

And what could Peter say? He loved the man like a father and looked up to him. He even loved the horrible dad jokes Mr. Stark started to tell every now and then.

“It-it would be my honor, d-dad.” And Peter couldn’t take it anymore as he jumped into his mentor’s...no, his father’s arms.

And if both of them cried while hugging the other for a long time, it was no one’s business.

--

Richard Bernard made Peter the most awesome clothes, but Peter had to admit that while he loved them, (silk was such a pleasure on his sensitive skin) the ones he bought with Natasha were still his favorites.

Natasha looked at him like he was a moron, but did not comment. Peter was emotional, so sue him.

Pepper gifted Peter with some make-up, and with Natasha’s help, they taught him how to use it.

Now that Peter had more freedom to put on his dresses, skirts, lace, and silk, he discovered that he did not crave it as much as before. He even started to have fun with his other clothes, especially since Tony gifted him a great collection of graphic tees with all the best science puns.

It’s not as if he didn’t want to be pretty anymore, Peter did, but it’s not a desperate need anymore. Some days he wanted to look cute, and others, he wanted jeans and t-shirts.

Peter was very lucky.

member: yeonjun

genre: angst, fluff

word count: 3k

warning: minor cussing, mentions hospital and passing out

it had been almost two years since you’ve last seen yeonjun. it had been a year since that first breath of fresh air. you were living a much better life and moved on... at least that’s what you initially thought.

you were working in your newly owned cafe that took a while for you to open... and used up all your savings. it was worth it though because you were living your dream and it was going well.

the fresh aroma of newly made coffee filled the air as the small quiet chatter decorated with keyboard types added to the modern cafe. you loved welcoming new people and having conversations with your regulars.

when the day wasn’t busy you’d sit down behind the counter reading a book, like you were now. it was a new hobby you picked up after watching people in your cafe read during a busy day. they just seemed so... peaceful. now you understood why. it sucked you into a whole new world.

you were so intrigued by the book that you nearly missed the small cough to get your attention. you must’ve missed the door opening.

when getting up off of the stool you set the hard book down on the counter. you grabbed some hand sanitizer at the front after fixing your hair and finally walked to the counter slowly before wearing a small genuine smile.

the first thing you happened to see was the blonde hair... the second being the face of your ex best friend that broke your heart. your heart could’ve given up on you right then, feeling it drop to your stomach before alerting you of life with continuous beating.

you made eye contact with the same coffee brown eyes that could warm anyone on the inside. everyone except you in this very moment.

“i- y/n?” he questioned as if he couldn’t believe his eyes. you were frozen in place, shocked at life trying to force you to face your past head on.

all he brought you was an empty feeling- a pit in your stomach. whether that be from nostalgia or a bad memory... you couldn’t tell.

“ah...” your smile was no longer genuine, kind of awkward as you looked down, “hi yeonjun.”

“right... sorry. i heard this was a new cafe that makes some killer coffee, so i wanted to stop by...”

he was rambling and you were zoning out. staring at your fingers that played with each other, staring at your brown apron that didn’t do a very good job at hiding you. unlike a year ago, you weren’t filled with anger that gave you confidence.

“um... how much will that be?” you were snapped back into reality, looking up at him with wide eyes. shit.

“sorry... could you repeat your order.” you laughed nervously as yeonjun softly smiled at you nodding politely.

he was acting completely different than the boy he used to be, but you couldn’t trust it.

“can i get a caramel-”

“macchiato.” you smiled typing it into the computer in front of you before realizing what you just did.

“you still remember.” he looked at you with big hopeful eyes that could lure you in at any given point.

“lucky guess,” you lied, “i like to connect with my customers.” you shrugged, watching the hope in his eyes only grow. maybe you shouldn’t of said that.

“that’ll be three dollars and sixty-four cents. are you paying with cash or card?” it was your basic line that everyone got, but it was different because you knew he would be paying with cash.

“cash...” he handed you the five dollar bill, “so when did you start working here?” he asked trying to start small talk- anything to get you to talk to him.

“i actually opened this place a month ago.” you explained while opening the cash register.

“keep the change.” he stopped to look at your hands, which stopped grabbing the change, before looking back up at you. “oh? it looks amazing.” he looked around, taking in the people around him and the plants that were scattered around. he took notice of the bar area that sat in front of the coffee machines.

“thank you. your coffee will be right out.” you let out a breath of fresh air when he walked away. you just wanted him gone as soon as possible.

you walked away from the counter to grab a cup before adding two pumps of caramel syrup. when you filled the ports filter with the powdered coffee you felt eyes on you, leading you to meet eyes with yeonjun who sat at the bar watching you peacefully. it was as if he was daydreaming and he happened to cause you to press down a little too hard on the coffee.

you ignored his watching eyes as you finished making his coffee, rolling your eyes as you added the caramel drizzle. you now regret not calling anyone into work today, but you were closing early today.

you were careful not to spill the hot cup of coffee when you walked over to yeonjun.

“thank you.” he smiled warmly before grabbing the coffee from you.

you were going to walk away after nodding until he called you back.

“yes yeonjun.” you seethed through a tight smile as you looked at him. now you were getting irritated.

“can we talk?” he asked with pleading eyes that stared into your soul. it could break you, but you wouldn’t let it.

“i’m working right now yeonjun. remember it’s called being professional.” you couldn’t help the attitude that escaped you. he hurt you and it wasn’t that easy, but the way shoulders dropped as his eyes stared at you in longing still made your heart sink.

he was quiet after that, finishing up his coffee before leaving you to read your book. even when he left you couldn’t focus on the words that were spread across the pages.

it was finally six in the afternoon and the cafe was empty, only occupied with you. it was already getting dark out, so you hurriedly closed up the shop- not forgetting to grab your beige coat.

you closed the door behind you, finally locking the door. you looked up at the small lights in the sky, reminding you to take some time to appreciate the night sky.

it was chilly out, so you didn’t have time to sit and look at the stars this night.

“it’s cold out. take my jacket.” you jumped away from yeonjun’s sudden voice. he was leaning against the building while holding out his jacket.

you stared at the jacket. even though you were cold you would never give him the satisfaction of helping you out. not again.

“i have my coat on. how long were you out here?” you watched with cautious eyes as he threw the jacket on once more. he was looking at you with a serious look.

“now can we talk?” he asked with his pleading eyes that shone in the moonlight. how could the moon be on his side?

you sighed, you already knew your answer, but despite what he did you still cared. “i don’t know yeonjun... it’s cold out and i need to get home.” you could tell he just wanted a chance, but you knew better. you don’t know if you were strong enough to look him in the eye and leave him again.

“please y/n... i can drive you home.” he reached out for your hands, but stopped before looking at you hesitantly. you backed up a bit.

“i’m sorry yeonjun... i drove here myself. have a good week.” you turned around only to be stopped by his words.

“just... let me walk you to your car.” his voice had lost all of its hope. you just hoped he wouldn’t talk to you on the way to your car.

you sighed before nodding. you didn’t wait for a reply before walking to your car. it was a short walk, but yeonjun had been quiet the whole way. you weren’t used to his silence, but then again you haven’t seen him in a year.

he stood beside your car while you hopped in, ready to leave him behind. when you turned your keys and your car made a funny sound you couldn’t help but cry to the sky. why me? why now? you had tried to start your car repeatedly to no avail.

“i... i can take you home.” yeonjun offered in a quiet voice as he watched you take out your frustrations on your car.

you huffed. “fine...” you stepped out of your car, slamming the door to try and tell your car to get its shit together.

yeonjun had to bite his lip to hold back his victory smile. oh his luck, but he knew that luck wasn’t enough to get you back in his life.

he led you over to his tesla that caused you to roll your eyes. you really had no reason to roll them other than you “hated” him and he was rich.

his car heated up quickly, so you were able to take your coat off and relax despite the tense air that you probably created. he was quiet as he drove away from the parking lot- causing you to groan. anything was better than this silence.

“what did you want to talk about?” you asked looking out the window at the street lights and people roaming around the city streets. from your peripheral vision you could see yeonjun quickly turn his head to look at you and then back at what was ahead of him.

“i wanted to say i’m sorry for what i did.” he licked his lips- a nervous habit of his that you picked up on years ago.

“thank you for your apology, but i can’t trust it.” in an attempt to stay strong you didn’t look at him... even if it was the one thing you wanted to hear from him.

“i know and you have every reason not to trust me, but i’d like to prove it to you.” he gripped the steering wheel tighter trying to keep his courage.

“i don’t know about that yeonjun...” you sat still, but you couldn’t help shifting your feet.

“y/n please look at me. just one more chance. i’ve changed... i’ll prove it to you.” he was waiting for you to look at him. he knew your weakness with him and he was using it against you. despite knowing this you looked at him.

his eyes were glistening from the tears forming in his eyes. it caused your heart to clench because you rarely ever saw him cry. thinking that you were the cause of it... you don’t really know how you felt. you’ve waited for this moment, but why couldn’t you tell him to go fuck himself?

you took a deep breath knowing you would regret this, “okay. one more chance and just friends.” yeonjun’s shoulders relaxed immediately, staring back at the road.

“thank you.” he wore a soft smile... almost like the yeonjun that you became friends with in the first place.

you awoke to your door ringing. you didn’t have to work today, so you were looking forward to the day. instead of letting yesterday ruin your day today, you decided to avoid the topic as a whole.

when you opened your door though, you had to face it head on. yeonjun stood at your door in a hoodie and sweats with red carnations in his hand. the flowers looked lovely, but they confused you.

“sorry... is this too much?” he smiled with a nervous look on his face. at least he was trying.

“just a little... but it’s a nice gesture.” you took the flowers from him and invited him inside.

“sorry i actually have something to do today, but i wanted to say hi.” you didn’t even have time to say goodbye before he was out the door. it was odd, but you didn’t mind it. you had other things on your mind.

the red flowers looked nice in the vase, but you resisted the urge to feel any certain way from his gesture.

you were waiting on your couch for your crush to come and watch a movie with you. you had cooked popcorn and baked some cookies for tonight, so you definitely were prepared.

the blankets were nicely placed on the couch and you wanted to let him pick out the movie. the two of you had been on plenty of dates, but never made it official... you were hoping today was the day.

when the doorbell rang you jumped up from your couch and scurried your way over to your door. when you opened it you were met with his charming smile to which you returned.

“soobin! here come in! it’s getting chilly.” you step aside for the tall boy who dressed comfortably for today. despite his lazy clothes he looked even more amazing and you wished you could call him yours.

when he walked in he took note of the flowers that he didn’t bring you on the counter. you noticed his eyes, so you laughed.

“don’t worry about those. they’re from an old friend.” you grabbed his hand to reassure him and lead him to the couch. he smiled, trusting you and letting you lead him to the couch.

“so what are we watching?” he asked you while wrapping his arm around you. he was warm and similar to a teddy bear.

“that is actually for you to decide.” you handed him the remote, which caused him to evilly grin as he skipped right past the horror movies. you were slightly grateful that he was a scaredy cat.

after scrolling through many many movies, the two of you were now watching lady and the tramp. any chance you got the two of you would point of your favorite parts, including the siamese cats that had you laughing on soobin’s chest.

“hey y/n...” you hummed at his melodic voice.

“i really-” he stopped as your phone vibrated on the table. an old picture of yeonjun showed up with his name causing soobin to look at you questionably. the two of you started out as friends, so he knew what had happened.

you hung up the phone almost immediately before urging soobin to continue, however, the phone vibrated once more. you apologized to soobin before picking up the phone as he looked at you in disapproval.

“y/n i need you... my mom’s in the hospital and i don’t know what to do.” your heart dropped to your stomach as your eyes widened. you looked at soobin before getting up.

“okay yeonjun i’ll be right there just send me the hospital.” you hung up before looking at soobin apologetically.

“i’m so sorry soobin, but i really have to go.” you were still in your pajamas from this date, but you didn’t want to waste any time so you only grabbed a coat.

“i see... you’re with yeonjun again.” soobin looked down at the ground. “you know he’s not good for you.” soobin looked back at you in disappointment, but it was obvious he was hurt.

“it’s not like that. i really have to go. i’ll call you later.” you opened the door, letting soobin let himself out later.

“walk out that door and we’re through.” soobin hated to do this to you, but he didn’t want to see you hurt again. he wanted to be the one that you would drop everything for.

“soobin... i really can’t do this right now.” you walked out the door with a feeling all to familiar. despite feeling guilty for leaving soobin like that... you still cared for yeonjun. he was your friend for years.

you rushed inside the hospital, immediately spotting yeonjun’s blonde hair. as soon as he saw you- you pulled him in for a hug. he held you right and you held him even tighter.

his eyes were red so you rubbed his back to provide some type of comfort before the two of you sat down.

“what happened yeonjun?” you asked while holding his hands. you were looking into his glazed eyes that looked frantic.

“i don’t know... i found her passed out on the floor.” you squeezed his hands trying to reassure him that things would be fine.

it wasn’t long before the nurse called for yeonjun and you were stuck in the waiting room alone. taking this time alone, you tried to call soobin, but he didn’t pick up. you would’ve been worried if yeonjun didn’t distract you almost immediately from his quick return.

he had still been crying, but he had a smile on.

“she’s going to be okay.” he choked out sobs as he looked at you shaking. it was in this moment that you realized you still loved him. it was this moment that you realized that you would drop everything for him... including your heart.

“that’s a relief.” you smiled lovingly at his red face.

“y/n... you came here for me.” he brought it to your attention, but you already knew why. the fear set in quickly.

“i-”

“i think i’m in love with you y/n” his words covered your body in ice. you were frozen. the words that you wanted to hear years ago...

“you should’ve loved me when you had the chance.” you sighed before shaking your head. “that’s what i planned on telling you for months, but i’ve realized that... i’m still in love with you.”

yeonjun’s face lit up. he wasn’t expecting something like this, especially given the circumstances, but he was just glad that you still loved him. he didn’t miss his chance.

“however... i don’t know for sure if you’ve changed.” you fiddled with your hands trying to knock some sense into yourself.

“that’s okay... all i need is some time.” he grabbed your hands once more before looking in your eyes. his eyes were still red, but they were determined.

perhaps you would let this man drive you to hell and back.

[radiorenjun]

I just rewatched crazy rich asians and a sudden scenario popped up in my head lol. Can you do a nct dream reaction to you coming from an insanely rich fam but you did not tell them after years of being together (like they thought you were poor) I really like your fics uwuu💗luv youuu🥺

God now this is making me want to watch Crazy Rich Asians. Anyways.

Mark Lee

You both have been dating since your first year in college. The day you told him you were the daughter of one of the most successful people in the country, his jaw dropped. I mean, considering how you live in a small apartment back when you two were in your early years of dating.

He remembers the day your mother decided to visit the two of you to meet Mark for the first time. Your mother was a very famous and inspiring talk show host and your father was the owner of a very well known hospital. You could barely hold back your laughter when you saw him practically try to scoop his jaw back up when he watched your mother walk out of a Tesla X car.

"You're (Y/M/N)'s daughter? One of the richest people in the industry?!" Mark exclaimed exasperatedly a few minutes after your mother left. Your mother had brought over fancy seafood with some rare caviar and 24k gold pieces sprinkled on top for dinner. 'I wanted to make a good first impression' she said with a casual shrug as you all sat at your dining table.

"Uh... I wouldn't consider myself rich, persay" you laughed. "Oh my god, you're the daughter of one of the most famous talk shows in the industry." Mark dramatically collapsed on the couch, his hand came up to cup his mouth dramatically as if he just found out you were secretly an alien disguised as Michael Jackson.

"Oh come on, it's not that of a big deal, Mark." you whined, sitting beside him and shaking his arm. "Chenle is probably richer than me," you added as you placed a peck on his cheek as he sighed. "I guess you're right."

"Can I ask you something, though?" he muttered, leaning his head against yours as you leaned against his shoulder. You hummed in response, moving your hand to play with his fingers. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked in a small voice, a pout evident on his lips.

You pondered for a moment before shrugging, "I don't know, I wanted to tell you at first when we started dating but then I forgot bout it. I rarely call my parents since they're so busy," you smiled sheepishly at him.

"That explains the Rolex watch you gave me for Christmas," he uttered. "Okay, for the record, those were from my own savings!" you shot back defensively with a laugh, smacking his arm gently. "Oh so now you're bragging bout being rich," he teased.

Huang Renjun

You were both planned on going to a an art gallery date Renjun found on the internet for your two year anniversary. What you didn't know was that the gallery he was talking bout was actually one of your grandfather's art gallery. It was safe to say that the poor boy was practically trying to scoop his jaw back up when he saw the owner of the gallery he saw online giving you a big hug.

You were surprised his jaw was still intact with his face when you told him that the owner was your grandfather. He then remembered the time when you told him your grandfather really like to paint alot, hence your magnificent talent that landed you in a scholarship with one of the biggest art colleges in the country.

“So, your grandfather owns like, what, ten galleries all over the country?” Renjun gaped as you walked side by side down the halls filled with paintings after you introduced him to your grandfather. You shrugged sheepishly, staring up at one of the paintings, swinging your intertwined hands as you walked.”Does this mean you’re like rich? Crazy rich?” Renjun added.

“You’re blowing this out of proportion.” You chuckled, watching Renjun give you a blank stare. “I’m not! I’m just in shock that my girlfriend’s family are aristocrats and could end my life in a heartbeat!” he exclaimed, causing you to let out a soft laugh.

“I’m not necessarily rich like that. But I will inherit all this when my grandfather retires.” You shrugged. “Damn, I never thought I’d be dating a billionaire. This seems like an unexpected climax of a really weird movie” he muttered, running his thumb over your knuckles as you giggled.

“We’re not billionaires, you drama queen. Why does it matter to you anyways if my family’s kinda wealthy?” you raised your brow with a teasing grin, making your boyfriend let out a scoff. “It makes me seem like a peasant standing next to you, your highness,” he rolled his eyes in a sardonic tone. You laughed, smacking him lightly on his arm as you gave him a soft peck on his cheek.

“At least you’ll be my peasant.”

“That sounds like you bought me off of an auction for slavery. I didn’t know you were this kinky, Y/N.”

“Don’t make me dump you on our second anniversary in front of my grandfather, Huang.”

Lee Jeno

He really didn’t see this coming. One year and seven months ago, you seem like the average college student joining sororities to not spend as much money, like he did. You seemed like the average broke college student, spending your days eating cheap ramen from the supermarket, making chocolate truffles with a coffee maker and trying out those Buzzfeed videos where they make three full course meals using house hold items.

Hell, even your friends didn’t know bout this. Well, maybe they did. But nothing would prepare Lee Jeno the absolute shock he was bout to feel when he found out that you and your older sibling owned a really fancy five star hotel that seems only celebrities went to. Hell, you even had your own personal presidential suite and an infinity pool!

“How did you even get money to pay for all this?” Jeno gaped as he entered the room, putting his bag on the chair beside the door that looks as if it costed more than his own life. It probably did, though.”Uh...” you bit your lip as you heard a loud booming voice yell out your name.

“Baby sis!”

Jeno’s eyes were wide and filled with surprise as he saw someone who could’ve been mistaken as the president’s child come up and give you a big hug and a pinch on the cheeks. “Is this the Jeno you’ve been talking bout to mom and dad? Quite the charmer, I’d say,” your sibling grinned, as Jeno stretched his hand out and introduced himself, masking his confusion with a light smile.

Jeno politely asked who this person who had their arm slung over your shoulder and pinching your cheeks red, causing your sibling to laugh. “You really went all out with the broke college act to the point you just don’t mention your own family anymore, huh?” they laughed. Jeno was beyond astonished to find out that your parents were extremely loaded that they bought a really expensive hotel for vacation purposes just for you and your relatives to use.

Turns out you had a whole broke college student act to discover a new lifestyle out of the rich and easy one. Plus, you really liked interacting with people, hence why you joined a sorority. Jeno would eventually get over it after you explained everything, still baffled that his girlfriend had the money to pay child support for his great great grandchildren.

“Am I in heaven?” Jeno jokes as he ran his hand over his wet hair, watching you get into the tub with him, holding a fancy cup filled with wine. “Don’t get used to it, Lee. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Tomorrow it’ll be back to making poached salmon in a coffee maker.” You laughed, taking a sip of your wine as you snuggled closer to his chest.

“Good to know, nothing has changed. Despite having a girlfriend that could cover my future descendants expenses.”

“You’re really not letting this go, are you?”

“You can’t blame a man for overthinking. Oh god, the day I’ll be meeting your parents would probably be equivalent to meeting the King and Queen of England.”

Lee Donghyuck

Precious boy would be shocked but not that shocked. You get me?

He’s gonna act all dramatic at first, putting a hand on his chest how you just told him this big thing bout yourself after a year of dating. He found out through a really unexpected meetup with your parents, jaw gaping once he found out that both of your parents are rich ceo’s of really big insurance companies. 

Apparently, your parents decided to pick you up for a small vacation to Paris. Being the extras that they are, they made an extravagant dramatic entrance in your multimillion limo, offering Hyuck a ride home in the process. Lowkey the whole car ride was him just being so speechless that you, yourself was surprised to see your usually goofy and loud boyfriend so silent and speechless.

Low key he felt kinda insecure now that he’s met your parents. What if they don’t like him because they thought he wasn’t good enough to be a part of their family? Or rich enough to even be your boyfriend. Though the light conversation your mother had sparked up eased him, feeling relieved that at least your mom liked him, despite your dad being to busy with work to even spare him a glance instead of looking up from his laptop.

The next time you meet up was on a cafe date three days afterward. “I can’t believe I just met your richass parents.” was the first thing he said to you that day. You cackled at his horrified expression as he stares at you as if he had committed arson, chewing his muffin softly as he spoke.

“Relax you big baby, they like you already. They thought you were nice and polite, and quiet.” that last part sounds so wrong you instantly gulped down your milkshake. “If only they knew how much sorcery you have to make me still date you despite how you act like a worm on a heatstroke.” you shuddered.

He let out a sarcastic laugh in response, shoving what’s left in his pistachio muffin into your mouth to shut you up. You giggled, humming at the taste as your boyfriend chuckled.There was a brief moment of silence as you chewed the rest of his muffin before Donghyuck spoke up.

“I never thought my life would come to the day where I have a girlfriend who has a possible chance of being my Sugar Mommy.”

“LEE DONGHYUCK!”

Na Jaemin

He wouldn't be that surprised, really. Finding out that you’re the daughter of a famous k-drama director was quite unexpected considering he was the casted as the main character of this k-drama meaning he had to work harder to make your dad like him. He was beyond astonished to find you visiting the studio with your mother to celebrate your parent’s anniversary in a really expensive Korean Barbeque restaurant that seems even Lee Sooman couldn’t afford to get in.

After finding out Jaemin was THE Na Jaemin you were dating, your parents invited him to join you and your family for dinner. He was a nervous wreck in front of your parents. Not only they were successful and could get him kicked out of the role in a heartbeat if he didn’t make a good first impression, they were rich too. If he plans to marry you, he’s gonna have to be praying to God that this dinner goes smoothly.

Lowkey the thought of you being rich didn’t faze him that much but he was worried your parents might not approve of him considering he wasn’t as successful as they were. Of course, with the constant habit of bringing him up during family dinners that you had developed, they were quite happy to see such a sweet caring boy had the possibility of being their son-in-law.

Believe me, it was their words, not mine.

“MOM! You can’t say things like that!” you whined, burying your head in your hands as he giggled, his hold on your other hand tightening under the table. “What? You two are already in a committed relationship for fourteen months already, and you’re still in that honeymoon phase, unlike your father here who acts as if I was the bane of his existence.” your mother jokes.

“That’s because you are.” you father teased. “Jaemin is a nice boy, having him as a son in law would be great addition to the family.” he added as your face flushed red even more when you felt Jaemin squeeze your hand. Jaemin had a wide smile displayed on his face, his own cheeks flushed red at your parent’s words.

“Maybe one day,” he smiled to himself as he stared at your whole embarrassed being sitting in front of your millionaire parents.

Zhong Chenle

I need more Chenle gifs. Anyways

Most definitely will plan to buy the whole SM Entertainment with you to prevent mistreatment for his foreign hyungs and dongsaengs. Honestly it’s just gonna be so funny for him to find out that you were from a wealthy family as well. No wonder you could afford the latest Dior bag the moment it got released, and bought him the limited edition of the latest Kingdom Hearts game.

At some point of his life, he thought you were secretly stealing money from the bank or something. He found out when he visited your hometown for the first time for a Summer Tour. He didn’t think he’d be staying at a private mansion-like villa. Of course, you invited the other Dream members to stay over so their manager wouldn’t have to struggle with finding a super expensive hotel with high level security.

From then on, every special event is like a gift-giving competition to see either who bought the most items or the most expensive one to make the other feel guilty.

“No. You didn’t.” you gasped, glaring at your boyfriend who just grinned mischievously, despite the fact that he had bought so much stuff that he doesn’t even remember which gift that was. “I did,” he grinned proudly as he watched you pull out those aesthetic acrylic photos with a spotify link on the top from tiktok. “Dammit, you beat me to it.” you pouted, pulling a shopping bag from your side of gifts to pull out an acrylic stand of the two of you on your first date with your shared playlist link on spotify on it.

“That’s so sweet, y/n. I love it, even thought you practically lost this one.” he grinned cheekily. “Lost?” you raised your brows, questioningly. "Honestly, this feels more of a competition than an endearing moment to remember," you mused.

"Not my fault you spoiled me, it's only fair if I spoil you back." Chenle laughed. "What kind of girlfriend I would be if I didn't spoil my hard working boyfriend?" you grinned, letting out a small giggle afterwards as you pulled out another shopping bag from your side to give to your loving boyfriend.

"A rich one," Haechan muttered as he entered the room.

Park Jisung

The day he found out you were loaded was the day he finally got to sleepover at your house when he got a clear schedule. In your 8 months of dating, you two never got to hang out in your house as you both were too busy with your own things to even have a decent date without instant ramen and 6 other males involved.

He expected you to live in a normal minimalistic house. You've sent him hilarious pictures of yourself posing dramatically in your living room with the caption, 'paint me like one of your French girls' at the bottom. He knew you had some kind of minimalistic house with the beige couch and potted plants in the background.

But the picture on his phone was nothing compared to the reality of what your house actually looked like. He swore the entrance to your house was almost four times larger than his own size, and that's saying something. Poor boy was practically trying to scoop his jaw back up when he saw the gigantic chandelier hovering over the two of you in the living room.

"How are you not scared of being crushed by glorious diamonds every day?" was what he said when you dragged him to your room with his eyes lingering on the gigantic chandelier and your fingers wrapped around his wrist. You laughed, shrugging as you pulled him through the long hallway filled with gigantic frames of you and your family.

When he entered you bedroom, he practically dropped his dufflebag to the floor. "I brought my pillow for nothing then," Jisung gaped as he saw your king-sized bed that could fit three or possibly four people. "Are you sure you're not some aristocrat? You're basically living off of the We Boom era," Jisung chuckled incredulously as he watch you collapse on your bed.

"Excuse me, Mr. Idol At Thirteen. You're way more richer than I am," you giggled as Jisung walked over and slumped on the bed beside you, humming at the fluffiness of your freshly washed sheets. "That's clearly inaccurate, y/n. I feel offended you never told me that you're basically a billionaire," Jisung pouted jokingly.

You rolled your eyes, "shut up, Park. I live off of instant noodles and homemade omelettes, I'm no different from you." you booped Jisung's nose, causing him to scrunch up his face in an adorable manner. He looked up to see the paintings of baby angels on your ceiling, it was like some kind of museum.

"I bet you secretly have 60 credit cards in your wallet." he mumbled to himself, eyes still staring at you in disbelief as you gave him an incredulous expression. "Jisung. I'm not that rich, really." you deadpanned, "you saved me from going broke by refusing my offer to pay on dates." you joked.

Jisung laughed, "watch what you're saying, y/n. I don't think I'm ever paying for our dates ever again after this sleepover," he pointed a finger at you. You rolled your eyes, pushing his finger away from your face as you continued to bask in each others presence.

"Does this mean you're finally gonna let me pay though? I'm ordering pizza."

"Not happening, L/N."

A/n: IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I PROCRASTINATE ALOT IM SORRY THIS WAS SO BAD I-

[falindrith]

[long post, all text]

i was gonna put this on the ad/vent twitter but then i remembered this is going to be fucking long and i have a tumblr that none of my family reads lmao

thanksgiving is a fun time where you get to learn which cousins are gonna turn out to be the future conservative uncles. and you find that out by learning that the cousin who went into financial shit idolizes elon musk. to preface this, i like my family and at least on my end there are no hard feelings, and i guess he probably saw this as an argument but for me it was just a tiring discussion lmao. (also this is like one out of a lot of cousins rn)

i think out of all the wild shit his view that it's the business man in the inventor/business partnership who should get all the credit is quite possibly the Worst. elon made smart investments, he clearly deserves to have an actually inconceivable amount of wealth. in dissecting this, it became clear that not only is he ok with worker exploitation, he believes "well anyone can share in that all you [me in this context] had to do was invest all your money years ago in tesla" which ok first of all if i had done that I would've been evicted??? "it's liquid" ok but like... my rent can't be paid in tesla stock and i'd cycle through it way too fast to build any meaningfully sized investment you do finance you talk to me about short/mid/long-term goals.

in attempting to explain how "it's much easier to make money when you already have money and actually it's much easier to just Do Things when you have money already" to him, it became clear that he doesn't understand what systematic inequality means. his example was the classic american dream argument that anyone can make a billion dollar idea, his friends quit their jobs last week and raised like two bajillion dollars in their series-D(eez nuts) venture capital round or whatever the fuck. i think the exact statement was like they "quit their job they had for three years and just started programming in their bedroom"

which ok let's unpack that one huh?

"quit their job they held for 3 years" - aight so in tech you often get a massive signing bonus and a big-ass salary so you've got 3 years to save for a startup runway

"just started programming in their bedroom" - ok sure but they also graduated from a top-tier university and had 7 years to build skills for this

furthermore, they graduated debt free! of course they can quit! they're not paying off literal mountains of debt.

i also almost guarantee they also had the right connections for venture capitalist funding from this experience

you guys all see the problem here right i don't have to explain that here or keep going.

it turns out it's really hard to get an upper-middle class jewish white kid who has never experienced actual consequences to recognize what privilege means.

like i kinda get how that view forms now. of course anyone can start a business and raise billions of zollars in venture capital, and of course you can do this because you went to a good school and graduated with 0 debt. his friends did that like last week, and he's basically never had to worry about that stuff either. everyone else? just work! it's that easy (l m a and i can't stress this enough o).

the kicker is that he's ok with this system because "it's just the way it works now" and furthermore he doesn't care to change it. actually maybe that part hurts more. every day i see how the systems we (people) have set up fail friends that i love and artists and creators that i respect. i've got friends who work absurd shifts and get home too burnt out to actually work on projects the like, i've got friends still paying off debt and struggling to make rent every month and we're almost all 30. and this guy is just walking around thinking "oh yeah it's totally fine that elon has a fuck-jillion dollars he deserves it :)" like no!!!!!! do you hear yourself????? you're suck here too bitch! you're not even in the 1%! you just don't have any lower-income friends and it shows your whole ass.

...

ok i think this post makes it seem like i'm mad but i'm really just tired. i am so tired of living in a system that values accumulation of "wealth" over people, and i benefit from this system! i'm relying on the fuckin made up "numbers get big" stock market to fund an eventual down payment on a house. and it still sucks shit i think i actually actively resent how this stuff works. i don't even know what to do to be honest, and im sure as hell not perfect, but at least I try y'know by supporting artists i like and voting (lol) i guess.

aaaaaaanyway this way of thinking honestly sucks so fucking much i don't know how he lives with himself it just sounds like such a joyless existence. sure dude you have a great time getting high in your dad's hot tub, partying it up with your bros, making money (i guess?), and generally just keep thinking "this is fine."

despite all this i really do wish him the best. that's what family is for. but given the nearest opportunity i would absolutely take all of his assets, liquidate them, and give them to my friends to pay off their loans. and then just tell him, "what? you can just make another business :)" and be on my way

[shi-daisy]

Snowed In

Well this it folks, my last Ulquihime Week entry for this year. As always it's been a joy to participate and see everything that all of the other users have created, and that those who host the event take such care to plan our ship week. I had a blast and I'm looking forward to doing this again next year. Till then however, let's all keep on making content for our otp!

Ok so onto the story, today's theme is Winter/Warmth and I really didn't know what to do, until I remembered I have a whole AU I could use and stuck with that. For those who haven't read my entries from previous years the Reunion AU basically had Ulquiorra and Orihime meet again after a few years, Orihime ran off from her wedding with Ichigo and Ulquiorra is now human(along with the other Arrancar). At this point in the time the two have been dating for a month. Hope you like!

@ulquihimeweek

Ulquihime Week- Day 6: Winter/Warmth

Snowed In

"For the last time Tia, I'll ask her but that dosen't mean she'll say yes." Ulquiorra repeated over the phone for what felt like the hundredth time that day.

His friends had all told him to invite Orihime over for Christmas dinner, and while he wasn't too keen on the holiday he knew his woman was. This would be the first time he would be asking her to spend an event with him and his 'family' and while he might deny it, Ulquiorra was nervous.

"Schiffer, of course she'll say yes. That girl is quite taken with you."

"I'd like to think so, but still, don't be disappointed if she declines."

"Yes, yes, I am ready to accept a negative answer. Still, I wanted some civilized company this year."

He could tell she directed her angry tone at Nnoitra. From over the phone Ulquiorra could hear them bickering.

"If ya don't want me to eat the cookies. Don't leave em on the table!"

"Those were freshly baked! How are you not burned?!"

"Cuz I still have Arrancar-like skin."

"Fool! Your hands are red! I have to go Ulquiorra. Our gigantic toddler has injured himself again."

"No surprise there. I shall see you later."

He arrived at the cafe soon after his call ended, yet he knew things weren't right. Orihime usually waited for him outside, but despite the closed sign in the door, she was nowhere to be seen. Ulquiorra rushed into the cafe, immediately upon entering he heard a loud noise.

"I know language was never your best subject but I think the sign on the door was pretty easy to read Kurosaki!"

"Inoue, just let me explain everything."

"I told you to fuck off!" Orihime angrily took off her arpon and walked away. Ulquiorra headed towards her. The second she saw him, her anger subsided.

He dared to look at Kurosaki. The redhead was no longer the headstrong teen he had met six years ago. His hair was shorter, and while he's grown taller, Ulquiorra thought he looked less intimidating.

"How- How are you here? You died."

"I got better." Ulquiorra answered sarcastically. "Now, I believe you heard the woman. She's not interested in speaking to you."

Ichigo didn't seem keen on backing down, his surprised stare turned into a glare. "You don't get to decide for her anymore, Ulquiorra."

"Oh just shut up already, Ichigo! I don't owe you shit! Tatsuki picked up my stuff a while ago, I've kept away from you and your kin, and paid back what I owed to you father. Aside from those unresolved matters we have nothing else to talk about!"

"I think leaving one's own wedding and then vanishing for two months is something to talk about! You never gave me an explanation for that."

He'd never seen Orihime so enraged, her pale face turned red and she was clenching her fist so hard her arms shook. "You want an explanation?! Fine! I left because just as I was going to get Kenpachi-san to walk me to the altar, I found you and Kuchiki-San! Then you kissed her! When we were young I thought you were in love with her, but since you proposed to me and made me feel as if I was the one you wanted, my worries faded. Imagine how I felt at that moment! I gave up NASA for you, scholarships, internships, my own damn college ambitions all went down the drain! All because I wanted to be with you, and look where the fuck that got me!

So there's your bloody explanation! Now scram!"

There was a small moment of silence before Kurosaki left. The second he was out the door, Ulquiorra hugged Orihime close. "Let it out."

Orihime didn't want to cry over it anymore, but her body betrayed her. She shook as she cried, her sobs echoed in the small cafe and the only solace she could find was the warmth Ulquiorra's hug provided.

As he held onto her, Ulquiorra checked an alert on his phone. There was a snow storm coming to Naruki.

"Woman, it's likely we won't be able to reach your apartment in time. Would you like to accompany me home?"

Orihime stopped crying after hearing that. "Yes. I'd love to go with you."

"Good, I've sent a message to Szayel, he should be coming to pick us up before the storm gets worse."

"Okay."

Orihime stared at Ulquiorra's face for a moment. When she first saw him again after all these years he looked just as he did the day he turned to ash under her touch. Now, he seemed so different. His hair was longer and styled, he often wore leather and dark make up, and even facial jewelery. She also noticed he began doing those things when the two began dating. Maybe it was an effort to become more human like for her.

"Ulqui, are you sure it's okay for me to come home with you? I don't want to bother the others."

"It's no bother, they were all hoping to see you again." Ulquiorra cleared his throat, as he often did when he was nervous. "Actually they were insistent that I brought you home for Christmas celebrations next week."

She blushed. "Really? I'd love to go! Spending Christmas alone is not much fun. I would be happy to spend it with your family."

He sighed in relief. "I'm glad."

"You sound nervous, did you think I'd decline?"

"Well, yes. But that's not why I was nerveous. It's just the others can be quite a handful. I don't want them to overwhelm you."

"I'll be fine, I love hyper groups of people. Besides you and I can have some alone time later."

"That I won't mind."

Szayel arrived at the cafe slightly later than expected. The sky was already darkening, and the road was icy. He drove slowly but made sure to calculate the time properly.

"Inoue-san, I hope you don't mind, Halibel has prepared a room for you, along with clothes. It's likely the snowstorm will keep you from going home tonight, perhaps even longer."

"That's fine. Thanks for telling me Szayel. I'll be sure to not cause any trouble."

"Oh sweetie it's no trouble at all, we are all looking forward to having you around. Ulquiorra has told us so much about you!"

Ulquiorra, Who had been dozing off in the front seat, was now wide awake and glaring at Szayel.

Orihime laughed at the scene before her. "Does he? What has he told you?"

"That he enjoys speaking to you, and that you have a lovely aura, and that you look very pretty in a sundress."

By now Ulquiorra was a blushing mess, he hid his face under the hoodie of his coat, but Orihime has already seen it. She smiled and blew a kiss in his direction. "Well I think he looks good in black clothes."

Ulquiorra caught the hint. Black was what he always wore, meaning Orihime always found him to be cute. He smiled, this time without covering his blush.

***

Her arrival had been met with hugs, greetings, an enthusiastic snuggle from the family's pet.

"Kukkapuro's no stranger to cuddling new people. He won't leave you alone for the rest of the night." Stark drowsily told her as he tried to get Kukkapuro to move. The hollow puppy ignored him.

"That's okay, Stark-san. I don't mind."

The sleepy man nodded and went back to his favorite spot, on the lap of his boyfriend. Szayel rolled his eyes and let him sleep.

She smiled at the scene, it reminded her of the times she'd act overly affectionate and Ulquiorra would be either unimpressed or dead quiet. Strangely enough she didn't mind.

"Orihime! Can you come to the kitchen? I need your help!"

She followed Halibel's voice to the kitchen. The older women had baked a new batch of cookies and wanted her opinion.

"You're the star baker after all." She told her.

The woman's tone was so sweet Orihime couldn't bear to tell her she hadn't finished culinary school.

She took a bite, savoring the sweet yet salty ginger cookie. "These are great! You're an incredible baker, Halibel-san."

"Thank you, it means a lot coming from a professional. There is something I'd like your help with."

"Anything."

***

"Are you going to chose a movie already?!"

Ulquiorra glared at Nnoitra, who had probably been banned from the kitchen.

"I am not choosing anything until the girls come back with the food. Have some patience Jiruga!"

"I am plenty patient!"

"I agree with Ulquiorra, you have a short fuse. Now be quiet." Szayel snapped.

"Tch. If I'd know you were going to be so moody I would've spent the week with Tesla and Cyan."

"Tesla might've been your fracción but I think even he knows you shouldn't be around a newborn." Stark mumbled in his drowsy state.

Ulquiorra chuckled, as he remembered the little bundle Cyan had given birth to a week ago. He didn't consider himself the baby type but that had been disproven the moment he was allowed to carry the tiny child.

"Maybe you and Inoue will produce a cute baby one day."

Ulquiorra almost fell off the sofa. "Nnoitra if you don't shut up I will disembowel you!"

Szayel shushed them both and pointed down to a sleeping Stark, but by then it was too late. The pair began bickering and Kukkapuro howled along.

***

"See? It's always like this. Can't get some quiet until bedtime."

"Don't worry. This'll warm them up!"

The girls walked out of the kitchen with cookies and hot chocolate. "Settle down! We're here with the treats! Ulquiorra you can pick a movie if you'd like."

He nodded and began browsing. Orihime gave everyone a cup of chocolate and cookies. Once her boyfriend had picked a movie, she sat down with him and their treats.

It didn't take long for the others to fall asleep. According to Ulquiorra this was a common occurrence. 'They'll be asleep before the second act ends.'

The couple was snuggling together covered by a thick blanket, they had finished their sweets and once the movie ended they would be going to bed.

"Hey Ulqui."

"Yes, love?"

"Thanks for tonight. I don't know how badly things would've gotten if I hadn't come with you."

Seeing Ichigo had soured her day greatly, and walking home alone in the freezing cold to cry herself to sleep would've been twice as hellish. Thankfully her boyfriend was there to dry her tears and make her smile again.

"You're welcome woman. I shall always be here for you, so whenever you feel like the world is falling apart remember to lean on me. It is now my eternal duty to keep you smiling."

She giggled and nuzzled close to him. "Thanks Ulqui. You're really sweet." The beating of his heart was lulling her to sleep, but Orihime resisted, she wanted to see the end of the movie. "I have to repay you one day for all the kindness you've given me. Feels like I'm only taking."

"No, you're mistaken. It is I who's repaying a debt to you. Back when I was a hollow you brought joy into my life again, and since then I've thought that one lifetime won't be enough to repay you."

"Then you better be with me in every other lifetime."

He wouldn't refuse such a request. Ulquiorra looked down at Orihime, their gazes met and he knew this was the perfect moment to do as he had planned for so long. He leaned down to press his lips against hers, a soft kiss which caused them both to blush. They both tasted of chocolate and ginger cookies, still it was perfect.

"I love you." He whispered only for her.

Orihime caressed his cheek and smiled. "I love you too."

They stayed like that for the rest of the night, tangled in a warm embrace as the snow continued to fall outside.

Friends With Benefits (Jeff Wittek Imagine) Part 3

Summary: Jeff and Y/N have been hooking up for a while. The whole vlog squad assumes they’re dating and Y/N does too but Jeff doesn’t like labels. He eventually starts to express interest in Natalie.

Note: Sorry I always post at night! I usually take the day to type and then release it at night. Planning on making this a multiple part series, depending on how good it does. You’re 21 & Latina in this (maybe) series. Also, I’d like to apologize for the typos, if there is any. I’m just illiterate lmao.  

Warnings! pregnancy.

Part 1, Part 2

Word Count: 1.9k

For the past week, you’ve been trying to figure out ways of telling the vlog squad that you’re pregnant… Would it be easier just to tell everyone at one or do one/two people at a time? UGH WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT. You have to tell them asap because you’ll be able to know the gender in a month and you want them to be there. You decide to do something different for every couple of people in the squad but before you do, it’s time for your first ultrasound!

The last time you got this done, you were 9-10 weeks pregnant, so you were LATE finding out you were pregnant. You wanted to find the best doctor you can find and luckily, Kylie set you up with the same one she had. You brought Stass and Kylie to the appointment because they begged you. Doctor: *walks in* Hey y/n how are you feeling? Y/n: I don’t feel as sick anymore but I’ve been feeling really full lately. I didn’t think my stomach would pop out so early. I was thinking maybe it’s because I’m a small and short? Doctor: ‘maybe. Layback and let me take a look” she put the cold jelly on your stomach and starts looking around with the doppler. She finds the baby and you see it wiggling around. Kylie & Stass: “You’re giving us major baby fever rn.” The doctor turns on the heart monitor and you hear a strong heart beat. To you, it sounds normal, but to the doctor, she hears something else. She moves the doppler some more and she sees something. Doctor: “umm miss, how thorough was the ultrasound you had in the ER?” Y/n: “I don’t know, they had a lot of people and they did it a little quick? Why do you ask?” She moves the doppler to what she saw and you see another blob appear. Doctor: “if they would’ve been more thorough and taken time, they would’ve told you that you’re having twins. You, Kylie & Stass: “TWINS???!?!?!!!” Doctor: “Yes. It seemed to be that baby B was hiding behind baby A.” None of you had words. You were having twins… TWO KIDS. You felt like you were having the biggest fever dream of your life but you knew this was real. You already told your family you were pregnant but know you gotta tell them that you’re having TWO? Oh hell no. Doctor: “do you want picture?” Y/n: “uhhhh, sure?” You all walked out of the appointment speechless. Kylie: “well that happened.”

*A few days later*

I took you a couple of days to process that you’re eating for 3. You wanted to do something simple cause you didnt wanna stress yourself out anymore than you already are.

David, Jason & Josh:

(Remember when Erin pranked David and Josh that she was pregnant but it was really an ovarian cyst? It’s gonna be set up like that.)

You asked them to come with you and film in your tesla so you can film a car mukbang. You had the pregnancy test with the old ultrasound picture with only one baby in the glove compartment and you had the one that shows the twins in your pocket. Y/n: *filming a mukbang* “Hey guys! I have David, Josh and Jason here with me, say hi.”  All three of them: “Hi!!!” Y/n: “Since I had no other ideas this week, my last resort was this. So have fun watching us stuff our faces with food.” You drove to Chick-Fil-A, in n out and jack in the box. Once you got everything, You parked in a parking lot, but before you start, you asked David to get you some “napkins” that were in your glove compartment and you saw his eyes go wide. David: “Shut the fuck up.” Jason and Josh are in the backseat all confused and David shows them. Jason: “No you’re not.” You’re just sitting there all nervous/ laughing and all you can say is “yes I am.” David is crying cause he loves babies, Jason & Josh are congratulating you. David: “Who’s the dad?” Y/n: “He’s not in the picture.” They all look at you with sad eyes. Jason: “we’ll be here to help with everything at anytime.” Your hormonal ass is getting the best of you and you try to hold back the tears. Y/n: “oh! One more thing. That was the first ultrasound from 3-4 weeks ago, this one was from a couple of days ago” They all see the two blobs. All three boys: “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS YOU’RE HAVING TWINS?.” David: “Can I plan the gender reveal party?? Y/N: “Sorry, Kylie already called dibs.” David: “You told Kylie before us? Wow that’s cold.” Y/n: “Oh shut up. She was my only friend my age that has a baby. I had to get advice.” David: “ To make it up to me, If one of them is a boy, can you please name it David Jr.” Y/n: “Yes…. for 250k.” Jason: “Honestly, I wouldn’t put it past him… cause it would probably be sponsored by seatgeek.” David: *looks to the camera* “You heard it yourself people. If she has a boy, she’ll name it David Jr. for 250k. “ Y/n: “Damn now I’m kinda scared”

NEXT DAY, Corinna & Mariah:

Okay so that went well, I gonna do a 2 truths, 1 lie with Corinna & Mariah. They’re gonna be playing on the same team, so it’s 2 against 1, well 2 against 3 lol. After about 3 rounds, it was a tie (I lied on other ones so we can tie.) Y/N: “Okay so my first one is that I broke my leg when I was 15, 2. I hate Corinna’s dog and 3. I’m pregnant. Mariah: “Oh what the fuck….. Ummm.” Corinna: “Wait, you hate Carl?!” Y/n: “Just answer the question.” Mariah & Corinna: “The lie has to be that you’re pregnant.” Y/n: “the lie is that I hate Carl.” It took them a minute to understand what I said. Mariah: ‘YOU’RE FUCKING PREGNANT.” Corinna: “OH MY GOD NO WAAAY.” Y/n: “Oh and one more thing! “Shows them the twin ultrasound.” Mariah & Corinna: ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING.” Corinna: “Are they Jeff’s?” Y/n: “Is it that obvious?” Mariah: “Kind of. The boys haven’t noticed because they’re idiots.”

NEXT DAY: Kristen, Scotty, Todd, Zane, Heath & Matt:

(I made this a big collab cause I was running out of ways to tell people)

So for this reveal, I asked the six of them to send in their silly baby/kid pictures so we can react to them. The last pic will be of the twin ultrasound. Y/n: *filming* “Hey guys! I’m here with Kristen, Scotty, Todd, Zane, Heath & Matt, say hi.” All 6 of them: “Hi!!!” Y/n: “This week, we’ll be reacting to our childhood photos and maybe roast them.” All of the pictures were so 90s. Kristen with the classic ruffled poofy dresses, Matt looking like a nerdy kid, Zane holding Hidaya when she was born, 7 year old Scotty singing into a hair brush…. And then the final picture, my twin ultrasound. Everybody was so confused. Zane: “Did someone eat their twin in the womb? cause aint none of us a twin.” And then someone finally noticed. Matt: “Y/n why is your name at the corner of that ultrasound?” Kristen: “NO YOU’RE NOT.” Heath: “OOOO BITCH SHE GONNA HAVE 2 LITTLE COFFEE BEANS.” Scotty and Todd are just speechless. You’re wondering if Todd knew about you and Jeff because he’s his best friend…

You pulled aside Kristen and told her Everything. The only people you can trust with who the dad is are the girls. Kristen: “Are you gonna tell him?” Y/n: “No… He doesn’t treat me right. If he’s never treated me right, how is he gonna treat these babies?”

Todd & Jeff on a hike:

Todd: “Hey, did you hear that Y/n is pregnant?” Jeff: “whoa no I didn’t. Who told you that?” Todd: “y/n did. She revealed it in a collab she was doing with others. She’s having twins.” Jeff: “Jesus Christ, twins? That’s gonna be terrible.” Todd: “She must’ve forgot to tell you. Maybe pregnancy brain really is a thing.” Jeff’s thoughts: “I knew that bitch was sleeping with other people. There’s no way those babies are mine. She had no right trying to get mad at me cause I’d ghost her. Thank god I’m with Natalie. She’s like no one I’ve ever dated before.”

Hanging out with Kylie & Stass:

I told all of the vlog squad. Stass: “Did you tell Jeff?” Y/n: “No, but Olivia told me that Todd told him. I think Jeff is too dumb to connect the dots. He won’t figure it out.” Kylie: “Are you sure you don’t want to tell him? You’re having twins and one baby is already a lot but two? You need the help. You know what, I can hire nannies for you.” Y/n: “What? No, you don’t have to do that. I don’t wanna spend your money.” Kylie: “It’s not like I’m running out. You do remember that I’m a billionaire, right?” Stass & Y/n: “How could we forget lol.”

David, Jason & Josh POV

David: “It sucks that y/n is gonna be a single mom. It’s gonna be a lot; 2 babies and she’s in her last year of college. I hope she’ll be okay.” Jason: “She’ll be fine. She has all of us to look out for her.” Josh: “I have my own kid to watch, so I’ll probably not be as much help.” David: “She has been one of the best friends I’ve ever had. We met on vine in 2015, we met up here in LA and then the rest was history. She was really there for me when Liza and I broke up. She was my shoulder to cry on. Honestly, I’d do anything for her.” Jason: “Do you have a thing for y/n?” David stayed silent. Josh: “I’m not sure if it’d be the right time to try to win her over. She has a lot going on.” David: “It’s getting pretty late, y’all should be heading home. Jason: “Yeah. I have to pick up Charlie and Wyatt early tomorrow. Josh: “The wife doesn’t like that I stay out late, goodnight.”

David thinking to himself:

I’ve had a thing for y/n for a while now but I don’t know. It’s obvious that she had a thing with Jeff. Because of those 2 fights they had in my backyard, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jeff was the father. I was mad at how Jeff spoke about her. She not like that at all! I mean, it’s not wrong if she were but no one should ever talk to a women like that. I’ll help her as much as possible; I’m not opposed if anything were to spark between us along the way…

Back to Y/n, Kylie & Stass:

Kylie: “When’s your next appointment?” Y/n: “2-3 weeks, why?” Kylie: “Cause by that time, WE CAN FIND OUT THE GENDER OF THE BABIES!” Stass: “She’s obviously gonna go all out. Did you see Stormi’s first birthday? I swear it looked bigger than a sweet 16.” Y/n: “Oh boy… or girl…”

------------------------

We get to find out the genders in the next chapter!! She’ll be like 16 weeks by then… I’m excited! I’ve already decided what both are gonna be… There’s gonna be some surprises! Oh and David has a thing for y/n? Ooooo girl the Tea is HOT. I also just realized the date of the video I picked when y/n and Jeff diddled (yes I said diddled).... The date on the video says 7/20…. That means the twins are due 4/20……. I swear I didn’t plan that lmao.

𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦

A routine call to Larry Parker’s place goes wrong, and Matthew Rook and the rest of the HCPD has to deal with the outcome. 

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Grant was going to kill Larry Parker. One second he had been talking to the man who was walking towards what Grant could only describe as Frankenstein's Monster to a Tesla creation, bright and early in the morning, and the next, he was staring up at the sky as the sun disappeared behind the trees, Larry was nowhere in sight, and the machine was still running but not nearly as aggressively as it had been before. 

He had promptly decided he wasn’t going to go anywhere near the damn thing, gotten back into his truck and headed back for the station. 

He was barely in the door before there was a shriek that came from his right. 

He started at the noise, then a moment later someone was hugging him, and it took him a moment to recognize the greying red, short waves of hair he was suddenly looking at. “Hey, Nance. What’d I do to deserve that?” 

“Oh my God. MATT, MATT HE’S BACK! HE’S HERE!” 

Grant looked up again, further into the bullpen area where Nic’s voice had come from. Usually during shift changes on days they had opposite Nic was all smiles, then she’d bolt for him, have some stupid snarky comment, kiss his cheek, then she’d be on her way. 

This time, she looked absolutely gutted, and she was walking carefully, staring at him, and- were those tears? His heart sunk. What had he missed? Had something happened? Had Matt gotten hurt? Was Matt okay? But no, she had called for him just now. Still, she looked upset. Did John break up with her? He was going to have to pay John a visit and beat the shit out of him if his method of breaking her heart got the girl who didn’t cry often to do so. 

Nancy pulled back from him, and Nic immediately latched onto him with a deathgrip. 

Something was very, very wrong. Wait- she had called to Matt that he was there. That meant he was okay. Or okay-ish. “Y’all what the Hell is-” 

“You’ve been gone for three days, we went to check out Larry’s, he wasn’t there, you weren’t there- there was blood on the ground by that… thing,” Nic listed off, practically into his chest. “We didn’t know what happened to you.” 

Three days? He had been out three days? And there was blood somewhere at the scene? He hadn’t seen anything. What the Hell?  He felt Nic hug him tighter and he returned it full force, figuring that it was the least he could do considering she probably thought he was dead for three days.  “I’m okay, I’m here. I’m here.” 

He looked up again and spotted Whitehorse and Matthew in the doorway. Cole, Joey and Staci were behind them, looking as relieved as everybody but knowing full well that there were people who were friendlier him that needed the space. Right. Thinking your best friend was dead was one thing, but your fiance? When you both had mentioned having little to no luck in love before the other came along? “I’m okay,” he repeated again. 

Matthew had crossed the hallway in a mere second, and Nic had pushed off immediately to give them space for their own moment. 

Matthew pulled him into a hug before he pulled back in order to kiss him. Grant poured every positive, reassuring energy he could into the kiss, and once Matthew pulled back, Grant held him closer for good measure and pressed his forehead to the other man’s. 

They had never been ones for PDA, especially at work, but they figured this could be the exception- and no one would mind- and the last part was confirmed at least, considering everybody else had given them space and had taken to hovering nearby. 

“Love you,” Matthew finally murmured. 

“Love you too,” Grant replied immediately. He squeezed Matt’s sides reassuringly again, then looked at the others.

Matthew sighed and tucked his chin into Grant’s neck for a few more moments before he pulled away, then led him over to the couch and sat down with him. 

Nic followed and dropped down beside them, going to work nudging his face to certain angles and pulling his clothes an inch or so around to check for injuries. 

Grant sat still for it dutifully, then leaned into Matthew before he looked at Earl. “I was gone for three days?” 

“Mm-hm. Not a damn trace. We got your last call, saw the blood and immediately started worrying,” the older man explained. 

“Where was the blood?” Grant asked. 

“Right next to that weird machine that was straight out of The Prestige,” Nic replied. 

Grant smiled weakly. Same thought about the machine, a different way of delivery. “I never went too close to that thing. The last thing I remember is Larry calling me over to it, said something about a breakthrough, then I was on the ground,” he explained. “Wait, is Larry-?” he began. “Is it his blood?”

“We don’t know. We sent it to the lab in the Mountains to check, but we doubt we have anything with information on Larry’s blood considering the way he is- nothing too drastic on his record, the paranoia,” Earl explained.

“Huh,” was the only thing Grant could think of to say. He looked at Matthew again, more to reassure him that yes, he was fine, it was all okay -

Only to watch the man’s face go from relieved to panicked.

He worried for a moment until he realized just what the problem was. 

They had just kissed in the middle of the lobby. 

They had just outed themselves in their workplace in a very conservative town. 

Sure, Nic knew, Staci had made a few comments that made them figure he was onto them, but Joey? Cole? Whitehorse? Who the Hell knew what they would think. 

He cast an uneasy glance at the onlookers. 

Cole was… expressionless. That could’ve meant anything. He was expressionless a lot. He was usually even more stoic than Grant when he was at work, and that was saying something. 

Staci looked surprised, but not disgusted- not yet, anyway. That was workable. 

Hudson was wearing a soft smile, which was the most promising reaction yet. 

He steeped himself for Whitehorse- and the man was staring, arms crossed over his chest, eyebrow raised.

Shit. There went his job, there went his stability. He wondered if John would let them stay at the Ranch until they figured something out for low rent and free labor. 

He looked back at Matt to find that he had noticed the same thing. He looked like he was content to sink into the floor.

“Matt, Grant. My office. Now,” Earl deadpanned. 

Fuck. He didn’t even waste time. He had expected more.  He watched Matt immediately head for Whitehorse’s office and filed in after him. 

“Earl,” he heard Nic admonish behind him. 

“Shhh!” was his immediate response. 

Shit. This was worse than he thought. 

The pair sat down in Whitehorse’s office. Grant could feel the unease rolling off of Matt in waves, and moved his foot so the toes of their boots touched, then leaned in so their elbows touched too- anything to offer some silent mutual support. 

Matt squirmed, then reached down and retrieved his badge and set it on the desk in front of them.

Grant gawked at it for a moment, then looked at Matthew. “Are you serious?”

“It’s gonna happen. It’s always gonna happen,” Matthew replied. 

The door bumped the wall and then clicked shut far louder than Grant had ever heard it clock. Though, that could’ve been his own brain amplifying it. 

Whitehorse rounded the corner around his desk, regarded the pair of them, Matt’s badge, then them again: “What the Hell is wrong with you?”

Well, that was… direct.  Protectiveness and defensiveness won over in his head, and Grant found himself on the offensive before he was even fully aware he had leaned forward to square up- verbally, anyway. “Way I see it there’s nothing wrong wi-“

“Wasn’t talking to you, Lyons.”

What?  “Excuse me?” he countered.

Matt raised his hand to silence him. “Look, Ea- uh, Sheriff, I… this has been a great run and it’s the best job I’ve had-“

“Matt.”

“And I understand if you’re not comfortable with-“

“Matt.”

“But if it comes down to it I’d rather just walk instead of being discriminated against- “

“Matthew Rook, can you shut the Hell up for a minute and let me talk?” 

Matt promptly choked on his tongue in his effort to follow the instructions Whitehorse had given him in the most dad voice he had ever used. 

Now Grant realized just why Nic had given him that “#1 Boss” mug with “and sorta dad” written and baked into it for a gift a few years back. His Dad voice was effective. And terrifying. 

Whitehorse frowned at Matt, then motioned at his badge. “Take your damn badge back son, you’re not going anywhere if I have anything to say about it.”

“Uhhh…?” Matthew offered, but took his badge back all the same. 

Whitehorse looked out the window into the rec area. “You know how much of an Internal Affairs nightmare this would be?”

Grant and Matt exchanged puzzled looks, not at all knowing just where he was going with that insult.

Whitehorse motioned out the window. “I’ve got one officer who’s best friend is raising wolves in the mountains- you know what animals are illegal to have in Montana? Wolves. I’ve got an officer dating the only lawyer in town, that’s bound to be a conflict of interest eventually. We all drink at the Spread Eagle, that lost it’s liquor license five years ago, and we’ve got another officer who used to sleep with a married woman.”

Grant scoffed. “Yeah well being gay or bi isn’t legally or morally questionable.”

“Of course it’s not,” Whitehorse cut him off. “I was getting to the fact that having a couple of my officers dating, let alone being gay, isn’t even on the list of priorities to be concerned about.” When he looked at the other two blanching at him, he sighed. “You all remember Nic’s been out to me for years, right? Would be mighty hypocritical of me to have a problem with you two being that way inclined and not her.”

Grant stared at him. He didn’t even think about that. He laughed before he could stop himself and ran his hand down his face. That was absolutely true.  Maybe they had jumped the gun in their panic, even if it was a special case. 

Whitehorse sighed again. “Listen. I like to think I’m a decent boss and we’re like a family here. I love you both, I do. I’d lay down my life for either of you and I hope it’s mutual. My point is, love is love or whatever that quote is. I ain’t gonna stop you or have a problem with it. Just… be careful like you’ve been doing. Also, again, not trying to discriminate here, but I feel like I need to reiterate not to mess with Drubman up in the Mountains, considering his policies about... your community.”

Matthew finally found his voice. “Why, you worried we would?” 

“You two? No. But Nic was the last person around his place before his car exploded a while back, and come to think of it it was right after him announcing his... less than friendly policies on that front, and well, you know Nic. She would pull a stunt like that. Between us, Drubman deserved it, whoever did it. For what it’s worth, I’ll try not to put you on any of his complaints. You don’t need to be around that bullshit, and with all due respect, if word gets out, I don’t need the asshole starting more trouble around here.”

Grant kept his face neutral. He could easily poke holes in that logic, but at least he knew Whitehorse tended to mean well, and he did lead with that arrangement being a benefit for them. And he really, really fucking hated Hurk Drubman Senior. Interacting with him less would be nice. Even if Drubman did worship the ground he worked on just for being in the military and ‘sticking it to the whatever-racial-slur-of-the-week-he-was-feeling.’ “Uh, deal,” he agreed. 

Matthew nodded eagerly after a moment. 

“Good!” Whitehorse nodded back, satisfied. He went to stand up, then stopped short. “Uh, just one thing. Personal more than anything. A little… dismissal PDA is fine, but uh… please, please, please don’t go any further than that any time you’re here.” 

Matt finally, finally cracked a smile at that. “Careful, Boss. that’s a bit presumptuous.” 

Whitehorse shot him a skeptical look, though there was no animosity behind it. “It ain’t about…” he waved between them. “I just don’t wanna see it here. Even if you had different parts. Caught Staci in a… compromising position with a girl once in the supply closet, and then Nic with said lawyer of hers, same closet a while ago. Just… keep that at home, will ya?” 

“Oh believe me sir, now that this is out of the way, there will be absolutely nothing involving closets of any sort with us from here on out,” Matthew assured him, his grin growing a bit. 

Grant caught on, closed his eyes and tried not to laugh. 

It took Whitehorse a moment to catch on, but once it did, he waved his hand dismissively. “Go on, now. Get. Matt, back to work, Grant, if you’re good to go home by yourself, get the Hell home, take a couple of days off, recoup. You good to drive again?” 

“Yes sir,” Grant nodded. 

Whitehorse nodded a final time, then got up to leave himself. He stopped in the doorway and turned back around. “By the way, if you tell anybody I told you I loved you, you’re both on bathroom cleaning duty for three months.” 

It was Grant’s turn to laugh. “Sir, you are aware literally none of us think that you’re a hardass of any sort, right?” 

“... … Well, I can still try to be,” was the older man’s immediate response before he left. 

The pair shared a relieved laugh for a few seconds, then Matt touched his forehead to Grant’s. The laughter died after a few moments, and Grant could feel the unease shift back into Matt’s posture. 

“Don’t do that again, alright? You wake up in the middle of nowhere, you call,” Matt ordered after a moment. 

“If I knew I was gone more than a few minutes, I definitely would have. But I will, from here on out. Promise.” 

“Good. Go home,” Matt replied. 

“You coming by later, then?” Grant asked. 

“You bet. No promises that Nic won’t tag along. She was in mother hen mode the whole damn time you were gone.” 

“Alright well maybe she can come. We’ll kick her out after a couple of hours though. You get me all to yourself.” 

“Deal.”

The Single Parents’ Club

Voltron fanfic - rater T (for swearing) - future Plance, but not here.

“Hey! Tell that woman to shut that baby up!”

Matt only had time to open his eyes wide before the old man shut the apartment’s door so hard that it even muffled the baby cry for a moment. Blinking, Matt rang the doorbell of the apartment before him.

“One minute!!” The answer was also louder than the crying.

“Shut up, you slut!”

As the door opened, Pidge’s furious eyes targeted the old man’s apartment.

“You shut up, you shit! Talk about my son one more time and I swear I’m gonna steal your hearing aid! Maybe then you’d leave me alone!”

“Pidge…?” Matt only stared at his sister, so surprised by her vocabulary that he didn’t even pay attention on the old man’s payback.

Pidge finally looked at him, fury leaving her face to show her tiredness. Murmuring him a quick ‘hi’, she left the door open to him while returned into her apartment. Matt followed her. Every step into the apartment, a new mess got revealed in front of his eyes.

Although the only problem in the living room was some clean clothes (and not so clean others) scattered around the corners, a not so small trash near the hallway that led to Pidge’s room was almost overflowing with dirty grime; arriving in the kitchen, a pile of dishes ready to collapse had formed in the sink and the stove was filthy. The only clean and organized part was the shelf with two baby bottles and other baby items.

“I know that you never was the most organized person in the world, but you was really so dependent of mom?” He tried to joke.

“Har, har” Pidge didn’t even look at him, more concentrated on filling a third bottle with boiled milk before checking the temperature. “What do you want, Matt?” asked while walking to the living room where, inside a baby playpen in the middle of the room, was the small being responsible for the crying.

Matt followed her again, just watching as his sister took his nephew into her arms and gently tried to calm him down before offer him the bottle. Even still muttering a little, the boy started to eat with no issues.

“I just came to see how you and Peter are doing. When you don’t go to work we barely talk.”

Pidge sighed, “I’m sorry, I should’ve called or something.”

Matt waved, as saying to her to forget that, and approached her to be able to look at his nephew. Peter had grown since the last time Matt saw him. With the face resembling more a human face than a knee, and eyes that could be kept open, Matt could barely say that that baby was the same one that he first met into Pidge’s arms, four months ago at the hospital.

The little grumble that Peter uttered, however, changed his thoughts.

“He didn’t get better yet?”

“No” Pidge moved her worried gaze from Peter to Matt. “I’m mixing the remedy with milk, just like the doctor said, but nothing yet.”

Matt just hummed.

He looked around one more time, analyzing the mess that apartment was. The mess that his sister was looking like.

“Katie…”

“No.”

“You need help.”

“No!” She turned at him, angry. “I wanted to have a kid; it’s my responsibility to take care of him. Mom and Dad have been helping me enough since I came back to work. I can’t let them to handle him sick like this too.”

Before Matt could say anything else, Peter dropped the bottle nozzle with a grunt, catching his mother’s attention back to him. Pidge nursed him while sitting on a clean part of the sofa and Matt sighed, knowing that trying and talk to Pidge now would be useless. It wasn’t that he disagreed that Peter was her responsibility, but Sam and Colleen, now retired, were more than happy about taking care of their only grandkid whenever Pidge needed. Sadly, his little sister always had a problem with letting people help her with things she decided to do by herself.

And boy, was Peter this type of decision.

Yes, Pidge was a thirty-years-old adult, a full grown woman with her own house, an established and promising career and she could do whatever she wanted of her life, but that still was a shock when his little sister told him, thirteen months ago, that she had gone to an artificial insemination clinic to get pregnant.

Although she explained him her reasons, Matt didn’t understand at the time and still don’t understand it completely today, but the nine months of pregnancy had given him time to get used to the idea, and looking at Peter today, Matt could never say that she had made a mistake. Nobody could. All the Holt family had grown attached at that sweet baby; all of them love him, and you know what? He didn’t even care that he lost the first place in the rank of most important people in Pidge's life.

Exactly because of Peter being her decision and so important to her that Matt understood why she wanted to be with him, especially while he was sick, but… With the apartment like that, and all the signals of stress and tiredness on Pidge’s face, Peter could pretty soon don’t be the only sick person there.

It doesn’t matter what Pidge thinks, she needed help and she needed it now.

Matt sat beside his sister on the sofa, looking at an almost sleeping Peter before start, calmly:

“I know you want to take care of him, but Katie denying help and bringing home your work every time he gets sick is not the solution.” Pidge frowned at him but Matt didn’t let himself get intimidated. “It’s clearly not working, I mean, look at this place. Your life turned into a mess since Peter was born, what’s not your fault,” he insisted on clarifying before she could say something. “You are a good mom, but you need help, practice, and especially remember to take care of yourself too.”

“I do take care of myself-”

“I mean more than stop eating only junk food.”

Pidge huffed, but didn’t try to argue, choosing to return her attention to her son.

“Do you remember my friend Shiro?” As she didn’t answer, he continued. “He’s a single parent too, and he created a group for single parents.

Pidge looked at him instantly, her eyes wide open.

“Are you serious??”

“Just try it.”

“Oh Tesla, you’re serious.” She almost growled.

“Pidge,” he started, sighing. “I really think it can be good to you, to be around people that live the same thing you do.”

“And what, Matt?” Her hard tone got his attention. She was more than just denying help. “Sitting in a circle with twenty other single parents to vent of how my week was hard and hear that everyone is there for me then listen to the others about how hard their weeks have been and say that I am there for them even if out of the meetings we won’t even remember that the others exist?”

Matt bit his lip. He should have thought about a better way to introduce the subject to Pidge. He should know better than suggesting to her anything similar to the anti-bullying group that Colleen persuaded her to attend when she was younger.

Despite her annoying and somewhat hurt expression, Matt considered himself lucky just because his sister hadn’t got up and went into hiding in her bedroom, but now he’d have to be even more careful with his next worlds.

“Well, first of all: Shiro’s group has only four parents counting with himself.”

“Good to him.”

“Second of all: the meeting is on Shiro’s house, so I don’t think there’s a circle of metal chairs.”

“How could you know?”

“And third of all:” he paused for a moment, just until Pidge looked at him again. “You can go in and out whenever you want, and this include in the middle of the first night if you really don’t like it.”

She was looking at his eyes so Matt knew she could see that he was being sincere. Pidge frowned, opened her mouth once before closing it without say anything and seemed like thinking about his offer. After two whole minutes, she sighed.

“Fine,” She raised a finger at his face. “One night. And only after Peter gets a little better”

“Deal!” Without a blink, Matt pulled out his cellphone from his jacket’s pocket and quickly texted something. The sound of Pidge’s cellphone receiving a message sounded from someplace of the apartment right after. “I sent you his address and what time they meet, his number too so you can call him if you’ve any more questions.”

He didn’t care as his sister frowned again, probably realizing that checking on her and Peter wasn’t the only reason for his visit, and just put his phone back at its place.

“Now,” he started, raising his arms at the little baby who had his big brown eyes glued at him. “Can I hold my nephew, please?”

if you're in America and you have a robinhood account/some other brokerage and you have like some spare change... or even a portion of your 401k (and no i don’t mean withdraw it, i mean think about the allocation of your assets/increasing your contribution amount rn) please you have to put your money to work over the next 2 weeks. 

also, first, let me preface this by saying i am genuinely sorry and my heart goes out to everyone personally affected by coronavirus. i do not intend to make the event seem insignificant, or simply brush it off.

quick mandatory disclaimer: don’t reblog bc i am not qualified to give financial advice and this is just my opinion. also, PLEASE do your homework before buying and don’t invest money you cannot afford to lose but seriously...

this covid-19 outbreak is going to cause an unprecedented economic event and I know for a fact that there will be people who will make a KILLING just from these 2 weeks alone. the economy will most likely have recovered in 2 years time and at the maximum 5 years. it will recover. if you are in your mid twenties or even thirties and below and you think you're going to be alive when you're 40 or 50. please for the love of god buy some stocks (but also please think and do your homework before buying them). think about the big companies with revenues that really won't see much decline, or will pick up after this outbreak. their stock prices will eventually bounce back. and you will be getting them at a MASSIVE discount in the next 2 weeks. microsoft is already down 20 dollars. apple is down 50 dollars!!! (and this comes only after they reported the first two community spread corona virus cases in the U.S. and i’m sure in the following week(s) there will be news of more). anyway, these were overpriced stocks, due for a correction. they will continue to decline. and........ if you think these companies are still going to be around in 10-20 years, then... need i say more? you gotta buy.

if you bought microsoft in the 2008/2009 crash due to the housing bubble, it cost at its lowest around $17, if you bought it on the bounce, when the market started to recover, it was $20 or $30, $40 for all i care. as of 28 feb 2019, friday, after a horrendous week for the Dow and S&P500, it was still at $160. can you imagine? if you bought it at $40, that’s $120 in returns. (fun fact: at its highest, meaning just a few weeks ago, microsoft was around 180-190)

if you bought $1000 of microsoft at $40 and sold at $160, you would have got $3000 in total. if you bought $986 (the closest without going over $1000) worth of microsoft at $17, and you sold at $160, you would have made $9280 total. microsoft also gives you dividends. and if you reinvested, you would have made more.

in comparison, your banks give you like at the most 3% in a savings account (and this is me being nice. chase bank gives you something shitty like 0.01%. also just so you know this barely covers inflation which is ~2%). anyway, with compound interest over a 12 year period, in a bank your $1000 becomes $1425.76 if you keep it in a savings account. That’s a $425.76 return. this versus (over the same 12 year period) buying microsoft where you get $2000 in returns (if bought at $40) or $8294 in returns (if bought at $16). not counting the dividends (okay the dividends can be used to counter off your capital gains tax and you would still have more. you don’t pay the tax until you sell anyway!)

if you wanna play safe, then you can always wait until you’re comfortable and buy the ETFs when they are down (but also this is a very good plan, regardless). in 2019 alone, the S&P 500 saw a 30% gain.... your bank maybe gives you friggin 0.01% interest. the better ones give you nothing more than 3%. meanwhile the S&P500... 30% in one year alone. (ok fine that was an exceptional year. S&P500 on average returns 6-7%). imagine if you had invested after the financial crash in 2008, and you cashed out last week. or even if you cashed out on friday after the worst week for the Dow since the 2008 crash. you still would have made a killing. not to mention the dividends you got during the time you held it for 12 years. (but typically you hold these stocks for a long, long time. even through crashes like this, if you hold it over a 20-30 year period, you 99.9% of the time beat any stock picker, investment firms, hedge funds, you name it)

and no microsoft wont drop to $17 so don’t hope for that but think about this, microsoft probably won’t be worth $180 in another 12 years either. if it went from $17 to $180 in the last 12 years. where do you think it might go in the following 12 years? tesla went from $300 to $900 in the matter of 2 weeks so who the hell knows what will happen (different situation but you get what i mean).

also, never panic sell. NEVER. fear is not an investment strategy. hold, be patient, have faith. especially if you think you’re going to be alive for the next 15 years. have a strategy. you are playing the long game. you are investing, not trading.

major, major, major point here to remember: only invest money you aren’t afraid of losing. meaning don’t put $1000 in if that’s going to make you flat out broke if you lose it and force you to sleep in the streets in the near future. this is money you think you can lose and you won’t die or it won’t make you suffer if you lose it. invest only what you can afford. but just please invest (wisely).

Nanowrimo 2019

Dear Tristan and Veronica,

I have decided to make this journey part of my Nanowrimo writing project for 2019. Because of the crisis that is now my life, I haven’t been able to make daily posts. There is no way I’m going to try to write 2000 words a day on my cell phone or by the one finger method on an IPad. I wasn’t going to do Nanowrimo at all this year because I’ve been in panic mode since June. But right now, I am trying to add some normalcy back into my life, and normally I at least take a stab at Nanowrimo each year. Some years I even manage to reach the goal of 50,000 or more words.

I’m so sorry things will be out of sequence but I’m running the time line out of order in my head.

So, to start out with tonight, I just got home from the hospital 130 miles away. Halfway home I took the usual exit, intending to pull off and take a nap. There was a long line of cars exiting the freeway. Approximately five vehicles were getting through each time the light changed.  So I sat there with my foot on the brake waiting for the next light change. Then I woke up. I had fallen asleep with my foot on the brake. I think it was only for a few seconds, because the line hadn’t moved at all. And I think it was because I was sitting still with nothing to do but wait. Even so it scared the bejeebers out of me because it was the middle of the afternoon when one doesn’t generally fall asleep. But let’s face it; I haven’t had a normal night’s sleep in days.

Well, that bit of excitement revived me a bit, but even so I pulled over at the next outdoor mall with the intention of napping. And I slept 30 minutes straight.  It would have been longer but some car parked nearby was making terrible banging noises. I never figured out what made the noise but about five people were standing around a car that looked like it had been rear ended. I kind of wanted to go see a movie to further escape from going home to an empty house with nothing but work waiting for me. So I checked the movie schedule on my cell phone and the new movie Current War was just starting. I figured if I hurried I could park closer, buy a ticket, a drink and some popcorn and make a mad dash to the restroom and still make it in time for the beginning. So I did!  It looked like it had just started.

I don’t want to put any spoilers but it is about Edison, Tesla and Westinghouse and I’m very interested in inventors and ‘futurists’.

But eventually I had to go home.  A gang of hungry cats were waiting for me because the friend that was going to feed them had her car break down. So they were very hungry since they hadn’t eaten since yesterday morning and it was now evening of the next day.

As I was driving up my dirt road, a flurry of fireworks went off. I felt so special! For a moment I got to feel famous. But firework companies test their fireworks out on the dry lake beds randomly. I thought there would be more but I never saw any more after I parked the car. But still, it gave me a momentarily burst of happiness.

My partner has now been in the hospital for eleven days. The nurse finally told me they are aiming to release him next week. Sadly, he doesn’t get to come home yet. They want him in an adult care facility, and even though I just got him better health insurance, there are only 3 adult care facility near me, and they don’t take medical patients (don’t ask me what they take then). There is nowhere to place him that is closer than one hundred miles away. That is a real hardship for both of us. That leaves me cleaning a two bedroom house from top to bottom all by myself and making it safe for him to come home. It means spending hundreds of dollars for gas when neither of us has an income right now. He is going to need physical therapy, speech therapy, and medical care for an unknown amount of time. And the sad part is that he still has cancer, so when he’s back on his feet again, the chemo starts again. I’m trying to remember they are trying to save his life, not kill him. I have to remind myself of that many times a day. It’s a barbaric way to cure a disease but it seems to be all we have.

Now they are saying he also needs a colonoscopy when he’s well enough to get one. They also may resort to a feeding tube since he still can’t swallow without pain. Every time I go they seem to dish out a new serving of depressing news.  So right now I bounce between the hospital where I don’t want to be and home, where I don’t want to be. I think the cliché ‘between a rock and a hard place’ applies here.

Also, even though he found out he had cancer during the heatwave of July, suddenly it is winter weather, even though it is still Autumn. I tried to sleep in my bedroom two nights ago and the temperature dropped to 24 degrees.  Since I’m living at the hospital practically, I haven’t had time to winterize the house. I haven’t washed my electric blanket. I haven’t fixed the wood burning stove. I haven’t insulated the windows. I haven’t covered the vents for the swamp cooler, which is basically like  having an open window right behind my desk.  Ugh. It’s a lot. I have no energy and I’m chronically tired.J hope to sleep better tonight, but his cat is lonely and wants to sleep with me and make ‘biscuits’. He wakes me up a lot but we are keeping each other warm. He’s outside right now. It’s his first time to be outside in days. The last time I came home he refused to go out.  He doesn’t like dealing with the outdoor cats.

I didn’t eat dinner tonight. I was trying to get home before dark. I didn’t make it though. Where I live pretty much all restaurants close by 8 PM. I have leftover popcorn from the movie but I don’t  feel like eating any more of that. I don’t even buy groceries because they tend to go bad before I get home long enough to eat them. I don’t want to go to bed too early lest I find myself up again at 3 AM and unable to get back to sleep. At least writing this gives me a way to fill time between 7 and 11 when I’m too physically tired to do anything useful. I wish I was one of those women that could clean when I got angry or bored.  Sadly I’m not. 

I hope the cat comes in the first time I whistle for him. I don’t want to be standing in the cold doorway waiting for him to figure out if he wants to come in or not.  And if any outdoor cats are lurking on the porch, he won’t walk through them.

Somehow that reminds me of watching the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot at the hospital today. I like that movie way better than Dirty Dancing. I remember recently thinking about that movie a short time ago. But then I felt sad when I remembered that Patrick Swayze died of pancreatic cancer. He wasn’t that old either. I saw him in real life once. There was just a sheet of glass between us. He was teaching tap dancing. I was taking a belly dancing class on the other side of the hallway. I try not to be all crazy around celebrities so I didn’t try to meet him or anything. 

Maybe I can at least try cleaning off my desk a little tonight. That shouldn’t be too stressful and will making typing a lot easier. Oh and before I forget, this woman has been bullying me in the hypnosis chat room, as if I don’t have enough real life problems. She called the site owner a bad name and then got herself temporarily banned.  I don’t know why she has a bee in her bonnet or why my existence seems to tick her off so much. I usually go to the chat room at night to relax, but I dread running into her. They said they can’t actually ban her effectively because she knows how to evade the ban. I’m not sure why I’d want to go to a site where I’m not wanted anyway.

Don’t Give in to “Gains Panic”

Don’t Give in to “Gains Panic”:

Story Highlights:

There’s a new breakthrough that’s gearing up to enhance the way we drive and can increase car mileage by 30%.

Tesla’s new Cybertruck has caught the attention of Dubai officials in a big way.

How you can get Paul’s No. 1 stock pick for 2020.

With the market hitting new highs, there’s a fear settling over investors.

It’s not a recession, a slowdown or a crash.

It’s “gains panic.”

This is a fear that the market will see a downfall because so many stocks are reaching new highs. But I’m telling you, please no gains panic!

This is the time to celebrate your strong hands.

I believe we’re entering a new era where innovation is meeting our mega trends. And this is going to set us up for potentially even bigger wins in 2020.

Check out this week’s Market Talk to find out what you need to do as stocks continue climbing higher:

[embedded content]

Market Talk Megacharts

I have three megacharts to share with you this week. The first chart shows we had a healthy expansion in U.S. GDP in the third quarter. Per the Bureau of Economic Analysis, third quarter U.S. economic growth numbers released last week were revised higher to an annual rate of 2.1% from 1.9%.

This revision reflected revised gains in private manufacturers’ inventory investment, as well as shipments and orders. We also saw that non-residential fixed investment in commercial and healthcare structures ticked up, as well as an increase in consumer spending on cars and car parts. In particular, new light trucks.

This second chart shows you that these positive revisions in third quarter GDP were released at the same time initial jobless claims for the week of November 23 — also known as weekly filings for unemployment benefits — fell by the most since May.

This third chart shows a great snapback in U.S. capital goods orders. Survey analysts were projecting declines in this number, but the latest release shows demand in U.S. business equipment unexpectedly jumped higher in October, the most since January. Bookings for commercial equipment, excluding aircraft, increased 1.2% while shipments raised 0.8%.

Where this week’s economic releases are concerned, there will be six major releases over a two-day period. As you can see in this table, on Thursday, October’s trade balance will post at 8:30 a.m. October’s factory orders and October’s final durable goods orders will post at 10 a.m.

On Friday, November’s jobs report will be released at 8:30 a.m. Wholesale inventories month-over-month final print for October will post at 10 a.m. followed by the University of Michigan’s sentiment preliminary December reading at 10 a.m.

Amber on Big Innovation

For my innovation story of the week, we focus a lot of our research on companies like Tesla, but there is a modern-day technological breakthrough in development that could have an impact not just on EVs like Tesla but on both hybrid and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. I’m focusing on it because with EVs and ICE, they all need this item to function.

I’m referring to car tires. Right now there are companies that are aiming to revolutionize the tire industry by enhancing the performance of our car tires by using graphene. Graphene is known as the wonder material that is the thinnest material known to humankind at just one atom thick.

It’s strong. About 200 times stronger than steel according to graphene information. A set of international companies are working together to create car tires that include graphene enhancements. So far, studies have shown these graphene-enhanced car tires show a 30% increase in wear resistance over current rubber tires.

Drivers could possibly get more than 30% more mileage on their tires before they need to get them replaced. Graphene-enhanced tires can improve braking in poor weather conditions by 40%. With these graphene stats we may be poised to see a turn in the traditional tire industry.

Good News Roundup

Story number one: Tesla’s Cybertruck is set to join Dubai’s police force, according to Engadget. This is pretty cool.

Story number two: Also per Engadget, nearly 40% of online Black Friday purchases were made with smartphones. I know because I did it. People spent $2.9 billion using their phones versus $2.1 billion last year.

Story number three: Tomorrow, December 3, is giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a day that encourages people to do good. It’s a worldwide movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. To participate, we can give our time, voice, dollars, goods, talents and most of all kindness.

Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has collectively raised more than $1 billion and is projected to break the $500 million mark tomorrow. To learn more about this tremendous day, visit GivingTuesday.org.

Hudson’s Insights

I’m looking at three things this week.

First, I saw late last week that Fidelity got approval from New York State for cryptocurrency trading, which is a big potential on ramp for crypto because Fidelity manages a ton of retail money. That’s an interesting development.

Second, this week we are looking at the Saudi Aramco IPO that should trade in Saudi Arabia. Most of the equity being raised is going to be coming likely from regional investors and a small number of international investors who are able to access the Saudi market. That’s going to be a big one and something interesting to look at.

Eventually, I think they will come to the western markets but this first experimentation with privatization is going to be with their local market.

Finally, the big news I saw this weekend is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a proposal to the SEC that will allow issuers to raise new capital alongside direct listings. This is sort of a hybrid approach coming to the public market.

It sounds a lot like a traditional IPO, just without the lockup. What will this mean? I think it will mean there will be more stock coming to the market upon listing as opposed to six months later when the lockup expires and the big venture capital investors and founders can sell.

I also think it means that more institutional investors will be participating in these companies earlier. We’ve maintained that institutional investors mostly wait for the new earnings reports. At least a couple earnings reports to gain confidence and for the large blocks of stocks they need to accumulate a significant position.

I think now they are going to accelerate their diligence, do a lot more work upfront earlier and be willing to make a bet on these untested management teams earlier if they can get enough stock at a lower valuation to compensate for that risk. I think that’s a big development we will see playing out in 2020. I’m curious what ends up happening with the SEC ruling on that. It’s definitely something to watch out for.

Paul on New Stock Market Highs

The stock market is making new highs. GDP. Recession is missing. All through 2018 and 2019 this was the drumbeat: There’s going to be a recession, there’s going to be a crisis, there’s going to be a crash. And nothing. We never even got close.

We have told you in every Market Talk that we never saw signs of a recession. For sure there was a slowdown. We may have talked ourselves into that just by all the things that were being put out because of a choice by financial media to focus on the most negative elements of what is going on.

However, we’ve been telling you throughout 2019 to stay invested. Now that stock markets are making new highs, please do not have “gains panic”. Many people seeing the stock market or their stocks at new highs are going to feel like they need to do something.

It’s the same feeling people get when stocks are declining rapidly. You feel this physical urge to do something. What you need to do is follow the Rules of the Game we tell our readers about. If you have money set aside, you are equal weighted, you have never gone all in on any single stock and you’ve bought in over time, maybe you’ve taken a little profit here or there to build your cash reserve, but there’s nothing you need to do.

You have done the hard work by being the strong hands. This is the benefit you have gained by enduring through that volatility. All the folks who sold last year out of panic are now in a panic to get in. This is why stocks are being bid higher every day, day after day. Of course the financial media is now telling you they have gone too far too fast, it’s overvalued and all these other things.

We would tell you that new highs are a good sign. They are a sign of confidence in our markets, confidence in our economy and a sign that people who are bidding these higher and holding it also see better times coming. Higher sales and better earnings. Please remember, no gains panic. Stay in our stocks. Be strong hands through a much easier scenario, which is seeing your stocks bid up.

At Bold Profits we favor innovation-based stocks around our big megatrends: Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, block chain, precision medicine, new energy, the rise of the millennial generation. A lollapalooza of all this coming together is just beginning.

We’ve been hinting about it in Market Talks. It’s America 2.0. All these megatrends coming together with this demographic shift. It starts to come together to build a new America, which somebody looking at us even 20 years ago will not recognize. I mean that in a good way.

Technology begins to transform the way we live, how we do things and all the elements of innovation that matter. It makes things better in so many different ways. If you are interested in these kinds of stocks, this week my publisher is going to be sending out emails for you to get in on my True Momentum service.

We are going to put in my number one pick for 2020 in this service. If you want to get in on that, check out True Momentum is our best-performing service. It focuses on what is referred to as mid-cap stocks. Stocks that have a market capitalization of $3 billion and higher. It’s been annualizing at something in the range of 45% or so.

That’s because these companies are in that perfect moment where they are coming to the market for the first time with a service, product or solution that has wide appeal. The growth rate is the strongest so people come to bid it up in a big way. I’m going to put in an incredible stock that I believe has a capability to at least do what the other stocks have done.

Our minimum target for all stocks that go into True Momentum is 300%. If you’re interested in that, click here. It will send you to the webpage that will get you the details to get in.

We focus on the good news. We tell you everything that’s going on, rather than the bad news media. Tell us, what did you do in 2018? Even the first half of 2019? Were you the strong hands? Did you hold on? Are you making more money? Comment below and let us know if you were the strong hands. Let us know what you did.

Story Highlights:

There’s a new breakthrough that’s gearing up to enhance the way we drive and can increase car mileage by 30%.

Tesla’s new Cybertruck has caught the attention of Dubai officials in a big way.

How you can get Paul’s No. 1 stock pick for 2020.

With the market hitting new highs, there’s a fear settling over investors.

It’s not a recession, a slowdown or a crash.

It’s “gains panic.”

This is a fear that the market will see a downfall because so many stocks are reaching new highs. But I’m telling you, please no gains panic!

This is the time to celebrate your strong hands.

I believe we’re entering a new era where innovation is meeting our mega trends. And this is going to set us up for potentially even bigger wins in 2020.

Check out this week’s Market Talk to find out what you need to do as stocks continue climbing higher:

Market Talk Megacharts

I have three megacharts to share with you this week. The first chart shows we had a healthy expansion in U.S. GDP in the third quarter. Per the Bureau of Economic Analysis, third quarter U.S. economic growth numbers released last week were revised higher to an annual rate of 2.1% from 1.9%.

This revision reflected revised gains in private manufacturers’ inventory investment, as well as shipments and orders. We also saw that non-residential fixed investment in commercial and healthcare structures ticked up, as well as an increase in consumer spending on cars and car parts. In particular, new light trucks.

This second chart shows you that these positive revisions in third quarter GDP were released at the same time initial jobless claims for the week of November 23 — also known as weekly filings for unemployment benefits — fell by the most since May.

This third chart shows a great snapback in U.S. capital goods orders. Survey analysts were projecting declines in this number, but the latest release shows demand in U.S. business equipment unexpectedly jumped higher in October, the most since January. Bookings for commercial equipment, excluding aircraft, increased 1.2% while shipments raised 0.8%.

Where this week’s economic releases are concerned, there will be six major releases over a two-day period. As you can see in this table, on Thursday, October’s trade balance will post at 8:30 a.m. October’s factory orders and October’s final durable goods orders will post at 10 a.m.

On Friday, November’s jobs report will be released at 8:30 a.m. Wholesale inventories month-over-month final print for October will post at 10 a.m. followed by the University of Michigan’s sentiment preliminary December reading at 10 a.m.

Amber on Big Innovation

For my innovation story of the week, we focus a lot of our research on companies like Tesla, but there is a modern-day technological breakthrough in development that could have an impact not just on EVs like Tesla but on both hybrid and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. I’m focusing on it because with EVs and ICE, they all need this item to function.

I’m referring to car tires. Right now there are companies that are aiming to revolutionize the tire industry by enhancing the performance of our car tires by using graphene. Graphene is known as the wonder material that is the thinnest material known to humankind at just one atom thick.

It’s strong. About 200 times stronger than steel according to graphene information. A set of international companies are working together to create car tires that include graphene enhancements. So far, studies have shown these graphene-enhanced car tires show a 30% increase in wear resistance over current rubber tires.

Drivers could possibly get more than 30% more mileage on their tires before they need to get them replaced. Graphene-enhanced tires can improve braking in poor weather conditions by 40%. With these graphene stats we may be poised to see a turn in the traditional tire industry.

Good News Roundup

Story number one: Tesla’s Cybertruck is set to join Dubai’s police force, according to Engadget. This is pretty cool.

Story number two: Also per Engadget, nearly 40% of online Black Friday purchases were made with smartphones. I know because I did it. People spent $2.9 billion using their phones versus $2.1 billion last year.

Story number three: Tomorrow, December 3, is giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a day that encourages people to do good. It’s a worldwide movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. To participate, we can give our time, voice, dollars, goods, talents and most of all kindness.

Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has collectively raised more than $1 billion and is projected to break the $500 million mark tomorrow. To learn more about this tremendous day, visit GivingTuesday.org.
