f!reader x dbf!leon, 18+ only. reader wears a bikini, a skirt and some makeup, alcohol consumption, reader is 21+, leon is pushing 40. size kink!!, praise, leon calls reader good girl, baby girl, little one, small, reader calls leon daddy like a couple times, reader is very eager to please, a lot of dirty talk, cunnilingus, p in v, creampie. this is purely fictional always use protection and practice safe sex. 4.5k+ of filfth, probably more rushed and messy than it should be not sure how i feel about it, i apologise.

leon s. kennedy,

you only knew of the older man from your father, the two had met during a pub crawl one night, and your father was quite the talker, giving him the rundown on all the best liquors, telling him all kinds of crazy stories about his life (nothing compared to mr. kennedy) and all the trouble he got in to in his younger days, so the two hit it off like a house on fire and suddenly leon kennedy was a part of your father's friend group despite being younger compared to your father, he seemed to relate a lot to him (his entire tab being paid for by his new friend probably helped too).

you were used to it, how sociable your father was, he always made time to enjoy his weekends, whether it be out on the town or inside, and that day was scorching hot so he had decided a garden party was the only option, it seemed silly not to what with the pool in the back yard and a barbeque grill.

with a group message to all his and your mother's friends, the plans were set.

you wouldn't say you were being promiscuous or inappropriate- not on purpose, surely never. it just so happened that your favourite bikini was on the skimpier side, a little triangular bra and thong, and in a colour that complimented your skin strikingly well, some heart sunglasses for some contrast, cute- that's what you'd call it, cute.

did your mom's friends approve? absolutely not, whispering their outrage and shock under their breaths, sending glares over to their husbands, it did make you laugh.

your mom might've cared, and your dad as well- too bad they were already more than tipsy by the time their guests arrived.

the water felt so warm thanks to the sun beaming down on the garden, with your butt perched on the edge of the pool you dangled your legs inside the cool water as you leaned back on your palms, basking in the rays.

"leon!" you heard your father call out in excitement and your head whipped around, you'd never heard of a leon before. "it's so good to see you man, how have you been?"

leon was gorgeous, and that was to put things modestly. he didn't look as old as your other father's friends and good lord he was a hundred times sexier than any of them.

his hair was dark, not too long, but you noticed one side swept over his eye. he had partial stubble along his chin and upper lip, and his dark locks contrasted with his icy blue eyes.

suddenly you were the one ogling, sunglasses tipped down the length of your nose, determined to know more about this leon.

sloshing of the water turned your dad’s attention back to you, encouraging you over to meet his friend, “this is my daughter,” your dad told leon your name before introducing him to you.

“it’s nice to meet you leon.” you smiled, holding out your hand politely to which he shook and you could’ve sworn you saw a smile tugging at his lips.

“it’s nice to meet you too.” he nodded, and you didn’t miss the way his eyes swiftly grazed over your body before distracting himself with the bottle in his hands, “i come bearing gifts.”

you watched from afar when your mother called you into the kitchen to aid her in preparing some food that couldn’t be handled on the grill your father was cooking in, “mama, does leon have a wife?” you blurted out the question before you could even swish it around in your head a little longer.

“hmm, I don’t think so, why’s that?” she laughed, tossing some salad and dressing in a bowl.

“m’ just wondering, dad’s other friends all do.” you hummed, shrugging to make it seem less suspicious.

the food went down well, even better with the delicious cocktails you and your mom whipped together earlier, a delicious buzz whirling throughout your body that had you up and moving towards the kitchen to grab another one.

“you got a spare glass? smashed mine.” you heard a voice call out, jolting in surprise, head bumping the cabinet above you,

“shit.” you cursed under your breath, hand flying up to rub the top of your head, glancing back to see it was the older man you had your eyes on earlier.

“sorry, i didn’t mean to scare you.” he laughed, footsteps coming closer, “you alright?” a cold but firm grasp was suddenly at your waist, an excuse to lean in and observe the ‘damage’.

oh god, you could smell his cologne, musky and expensive, “i’m good, you didn’t scare me- well, you did a little, but it’s fine.” wow, real smooth.

you could almost feel the vibrations in his chest when he chuckled, you had to lean back against the counter to distance the two of you, your face furrowing in confusion when he only got closer, hand reaching up above your head, “they up here?” he gestured towards the cabinet above your head.

was he toying with you right now?

“t-they’re all the way at the back, we used most of em’ already.” you mumbled, barely loud enough for him to hear, “let me check.” you spoke up before twirling yourself around, your hands pushing yourself upwards to go on your tippy toes so you could reach the glass at the back.

you purposefully shoved your ass back against him, back arched to give him a nice view of the expanse of your bare back, small strings of your bikini high on your hips, you were just generous like that. you feigned innocence as you felt around for a few more seconds, “ah-ha!” you cooed, plucking the glass down and turning yourself back to face him, “here you are.” you smiled, tapping the rim of the glass against his chest as his eyes hung a little lower on your body.

“thank you, sweetheart.” his fingertips grazed yours before taking the glass from you, your eyes dashing down to his hand, noticing blood.

“you cut yourself.” you jut your bottom lip out into a pout, extending your arm to grab his wrist and pull him over to the bathroom, glass in his hand long forgotten about.

"it's just from where the glass smashed, it's not a big deal." he was trying to brush it off but you were already grabbing the first aid kit before he could finish his sentence.

"let me look at it under the light." you encouraged him closer as you put yourself up until you were sat on the sink, first aid kit on your lap.

the light from the cabinet above the sink did make it easier to see the cut, it also made it easier to notice how slender his fingers were, veins running all the way up his bulky arms, disappearing under his black compression shirt he wore, "you're not warm like that by the way?" you glanced up from his hand, referring to his shirt, "you can join me in the pool after." you cooed, voice overly sweet as you dabbed some disinfectant on his cut, grabbing a bandaid next.

leon shook his head, a small chuckle leaving his lips, "i'm not sure your parents would appreciate that." oh, were you too obvious? oops.

your eyes rolled at that, legs swaying in the air back and forth as the rip of the paper from the bandaid could be heard in the silence, your nimble fingers pushing the dressing around the cut securely before giving his hand a squeeze to gesture that you were done.

a small sigh escaped your lips as your head leaned back against the cabinet, still perched pretty on top of the sink, your thighs looked plush and soft like this and the way the glitter from your lipgloss sparkled under the light was like its own little spell, a cautious one.

but you, you threw all caution to the wind now he voiced acknowledgment about your little games, your eyes dragged shamelessly over him, twiddling the string of your bikini panties between your fingers, "d'you not wanna touch me?" you spoke quietly.

you heard leon exhale before you felt his fingertips at your lower thighs, pushing them open so he could step closer, “you’re not playing fair.” his head tilted, fingers pinching at the soft flesh of your thighs, “you do this with all your dad’s friends, huh?”

you hummed out, your hand placing on top of his and pushing it even higher up your thigh, “i’m not normally like this, you’re special.” you cooed out, leaning in towards his ears, “i pinky promise.”

you yelped when his fingers pulled the elastic of your panties back until it snapped back against your skin, “aah.” you shivered, legs raising to clench either side of his hips.

"i won't tell anyone." you whined, rubbing your thighs against him to distract the lingering stinging sensation.

the way you sweetened your voice and fluttered your eyelashes had him reeling closer, so close you could feel his hot breath at your neck, smell the scent of sweat on him from the hot scorching day.

your fingers trailed upwards, pushing at his shirt until he grasped firmly at your wrists, shoving them out of the way, “if i got you here, i wanna do things my way.” he spoke directly, eyebrow raised as he looked for what seemed like your confirmation, to which you gave him a prompt nod, perhaps a little eagerly.

“good girl.” two simple words and your stomach was doing somersaults, all the blood rushing straight to your cheeks. it sounded like pure honey falling from his lips, sweeter than the cocktails you had previously enjoyed.

leon didn’t miss the way the little pet name clearly had you dazed either, he was quite attentive, fingers grazing back and forth over the goosebumps on your thigh whilst the other was placed at your chin, thumb rubbing along your jaw, "you're such a pretty little thing, your old man told me he had a beautiful, smart daughter at home.. i should've believed him more, i shouldn't have come." he snickered, shaking his head.

"it's too late for that now." you huffed, knocking your head to his and catching his lips until they meshed with yours, feeling his stubble graze your skin, igniting pulses of desire straight between your legs.

he didn't bite, you only felt him relax a little into the kiss before pushing himself away with an expression you couldn't read on his face, "you're making it hard to think straight."

you laughed at that, "don't think at all, that's what i like to do." you winked, "just do what feels good." you giggled and leon could feel his heart skip a beat, you were so damn cute.

"fuck.." he threw his head back, chuckling at the situation he found himself in. when his attention was back on you he noticed your fingers between your legs, rubbing your fingers against your clothed pussy.

"mh-mh," he shook his head, swatting away your hand, "let me take care of you, sweetheart." he breathed out, fingers tucking under your panties, dragging them all the way down before flinging them somewhere on the floor, long forgotten about along with his sense of morals.

you whimpered at the feeling of cold porcelain on your bare skin, feeling your pussy brush against it when he pushed your thighs open, "s-shit.." you whimpered.

you almost forgot to keep breathing when you watched him kneel down, taking a position in between your legs, perching them both over his shoulders, fingertips squeezing and rubbing the outside of your thighs, "you don't mind if i'm a little selfish and have a taste first, yeah baby?" he blinked up at you and if the feeling of your thighs already squeezing around his head wasn't enough, maybe the audible moan followed up by a mantra of "yes, yes, yes" was enough.

"you're so cute, you get excited about the littlest things." he observed, leaning in to press wet, open-mouthed kisses along your inner thigh, stubble scraping along your skin.

"n-no i don't." you tried to deny out of embarrassment, only getting a chuckle of disbelief in response, knowing your body's reactions spoke for itself.

he breathed you in, eyes fluttering shut as his tongue dashed out to lick upwards to your clit, the tip of his tongue circling over the sensitive little nub which had your finger flying in his hair, "ohh, my god.." you mewled, hips already pushing up towards his face for more which he was happy to oblige.

flattening his tongue allowed you to feel him everywhere, every little inch of your cunt being showered with attention, your legs kicking against his upper back until he pulled back, allowing you a second to breathe though he didn't waste it, spitting on your clit and letting the saliva run down your pussy just so he could tongue fuck it inside you.

he had a firm grasp on your thighs now, tongue pressing past your puffy lips and inside you, pushing his tongue further and further, breathing you in until the tip of his nose pushed deliciously against your clit, grinding against it for further friction, "pleasuhh-nghnn," you brokenly moaned, legs trembling either side of him, but he kept going and it was almost embarrassing how sloppy he sounded, eating you out like he was starved, only pulling back when he wanted to pay attention to your poor puffy clit, tongue flicking and prodding before his lips sealed around it, sucking the sensitive little nub into his mouth and groaning which added a mouth-watering vibration, "daddy, please." you gasped out.

you clearly spoke too soon when a sudden knock of someone's fist against the wooden door pulled you out of your bliss.

you could've cried when he pulled away to stand up, pleasure fizzling out into nothing, legs squeezing together to maintain the warmth of where he had been perched, "don't.." you pleaded, grabbing a hold of his arms and pushing him towards you, bare soaked pussy grinding against the belt he had on around his waist.

"leon, you in here?" your father's voice spoke up again, the door handle rattling, leon gave your arm a reassuring squeeze before he plucked your bikini panties off the ground, stuffing them in his pocket and opening the door just wide enough to slip out.

being the gentleman he is, he wiped the residue of glistening saliva and cum from his mouth and chin with the back of his hand before speaking up with an excuse, "sorry, was just cooling down."

you heard your father announce needing help with something that happened in the front yard.

both their footsteps wandered away and you cursed aloud, jumping off the sink and stomping your feet on the floor, why now?!

your head peaked out of the bathroom ever so slightly until you knew the coast was clear, scurrying to your bedroom to pick up your skirt, tugging it up until you were decent enough.

with quick steps you rushed down the stairs only to see everyone in the front yard, “what happened?” you asked your mom.

“steve got a little too drunk and saw the keys still in leon’s bike.. he crashed it into the bush.” she pointed to the damage and your eyes widened, it wasn’t like it was irreversible damage but by the way leon was tugging it out of the branches and accessing things, it didn’t look good either.

“oops..” you whispered under your breath, noticing the panicked man profusely apologising and promising to pay for any damages.

leon didn’t look too concerned though- with all things considered, only brushing the man off and mumbling about how he’ll fix it himself, that no one else should be touching it anymore, as he perches it up, stuffing the keys in his back pocket- alongside your panties.

“i’m sorry man, you always have a place to crash here or we can get you a cab back home, come back for it when you can, don’t stress yourself any further.” your dad tried to fix the situation, patting leon on the back as his other friend looked like a kicked dog, wife in his ear scolding him.

“think i’ll have to crash here, i’ll bring a friend over to help me take it back tomorrow, would rather not let her outta my sight anymore.” he forced out a chuckle.

the night drew in much quicker what with your father’s friends' antics, despite leon trying to play it cool and telling them it was no big deal, clearly, there was some tension which had everyone saying their goodbyes as the sun set and the night grew on.

“darling, can you go grab leon some fresh sheets and pillows for the night?” you heard your dad call out, turning on your feet before leon could even protest.

you hopped up the stairs and towards your room, plucking out your clean strawberry sheets with a matching plush pillow for the older man, happily bringing it down and presenting them to him, “sorry if they’re not your style.” you cooed, eyelashes fluttering at him once again.

“they’re just what i like, don’t worry.” he played along before, two-finger saluting both of your parents goodnight with a thank you as they declared they were going to bed, clearly the alcohol and mood change helping their swift decision to head to bed

“is everything okay?” you followed closely behind him like a puppy dog, bumping into his back when he halted his steps as he reached the living room, throwing the bed sheets on the couch.

“it happened, no point still being angry about it, i can fix it anyway.” he told you, glancing behind his shoulder before turning to face you, arms crossing over his chest as though he was expecting something from you.

“what?” you pouted, looking up at him, doe eyes and puffed out cheeks.

“you can’t leave me alone even after almost getting caught?” his head tilted and suddenly you felt a lot smaller underneath him.

you didn’t know how to respond, part of you was humiliated, the other wanting to bite back, “i was worried!” you whined, fist coming up to hit his chest.

leon laughed, pushing his hair out of his face and walking into you until your knees buckled and you fell back against the couch, “you’re so cute.” you didn’t have time to think, already feeling his thumb push past your lips and settle on your tongue.

“such a pretty little thing.” he sighed out, eyebrows furrowed as he admired every little detail on your face, eyes grazing over your features.

“you want me so bad don’t you sweetheart?” his voice hummed out sweetly, forcing you to nod your head, though you didn’t need to be, willing to do anything he asked of you, waiting at his beckon and call.

“sweet thing.” leon pulled his hand away, grasping the end of his shirt and pulling it over his head, your eyes wasting no time taking in everything you could, the way his muscles were defined, how a light sheen of sweat was sticky on top of his skin and how the trail of dark curly hair lead from his bellybutton down into the waistband of his boxers.

“please..” you whined out, hand going up to squeeze his arm, pulling it until he was touching your neck, dragging it towards your chest.

his eyes lazily followed your movements, fingers tugging under the straps of your bikini bra until the skimpy fabric fell into your lap, “want my skirt off next daddy?” you asked him, head tilted up as your fingers already went towards the zip.

he shook his head, tongue darting out to lick over his bottom lip, admiring your pretty tits and the peek of your thighs under your skirt puddling over your lap, “no no, keep it on, it’s cute.”

his pants came off next, your eyes watching him cup his erection through his boxers, stroking himself on top of the fabric, "lemme help." you shifted closer, tongue licking the outline of him, the texture of the cotton fabric grazing against your tastebuds, licking a trail upwards to the tip of his dick pushing against the fabric.

you let leon push down his boxers, his hard cock slapping back against his chest, standing tall with the tip the prettiest red you had ever seen, glistening with a bead of his pearly precum.

you giggled, leaning in to lick from his balls, upwards his length, tongue feeling the veins running up the underside of him before the muscle reached his tip, kitten licking up the sticky cum whilst his hand rested at the back of your head. pushing you further against him, his other hand gripped at the base of his cock, slapping the tip of himself on your tongue and watching you go cross-eyed.

you let him guide you until the tip of him was pushed past your swollen lips, "mmh, that's it sexy." he groaned out, "you're so sweet, baby, i'd love to have you choking on this cock one day." he chuckled out, feeling you push yourself further down, as though you were proving yourself, hearing your pathetic little sputtering and gagging already.

"be careful little one, s'okay." he stroked the top of your head and you let your throat relax, drool pushing past the corner of your lips and tears stinging at your eyes, "you don't have to take it all, you're only a small thing."

his words were making your fingers curl into his hips, nails dragging down his skin hard enough to decorate him with red marks, you so badly wanted to keep going but you were far too excited, you had lost yourself already trying to impress him, failing but he found it cute, he found everything about you so fucking cute.

"shh, shh.." he hushed you when you pulled your mouth away to speak, thumb flicking away some stray tears that landed on your cheeks, "don't worry about it sweetheart, you make me feel good just sitting there looking so pretty."

you could feel your heart flutter out of your chest, swallowing down any humiliation and need to apologise for the sad attempt of pleasing him with your mouth, you couldn't help it, your head was a little foggy as soon as he started speaking.

you watched as he next lifted his hand up, finger twirling in the air, indicating that he wanted you to turn around, "all fours for me." he helped you maneuver into a comfortable position on the couch, your back arched, head stuffed into the strawberry printed cotton sheets and your legs spread to accommodate leon behind you.

"you have the prettiest little pussy i've ever seen, y'know that?" he uttered behind you, hand squeezing your ass, spreading you open as he pushed himself flush against you, feeling the way your pussy pulse around nothing whilst he teasingly dragged himself back and forth your slippery folds.

"n-need it, need it so bad.." you mewled out, wiggling your ass a little to try and find some friction, your skirt shifting up higher on your waist. you lurched forward suddenly when he pushed his cock inside you without warning, your squeal muffled by the sheets.

"oh.. shit, fuckkkk.." he dragged out his words as he felt your pussy pulsate and contract around him, "holy fuck, you're so- mhfm," he had to cut himself off to take a second, "so fucking tight." he exhaled, hand placing at your lower back where your skirt was, grabbing a fistful of the fabric to help you push back and forth on his cock.

"you gotta be quiet yeah? don't wanna wake your parents up.." he chuckled, hips reeling back before pushing into you again, "imagine the look on your old man's face, finding his sweet daughter fucked stupid by the man he invited into his home." he grunted, pulling you flush against him with the help of his grasp on your skirt.

"poor thing, you can't help it can you baby? you wanted this dick so bad, i don't blame you sweetheart, i really don't." he cooed mockingly as his pace became more consistently deeper and more violent.

drool was pooling on your freshly washed sheets, countless sobs of pleasure and chants of leon's name deafened thanks to your head being stuffed into the couch. you couldn't care about anything he was insinuating, if this was bad then why did it feel sooo good.

you felt a stretch in your shoulder when he grabbed your arm behind your back, pulling it towards him, "that's it, pussy feels so damn good." he groaned much louder than he should've considering what he scolded you before just moments before.

"feels s'good!" you sobbed out. you could feel his hips slapping against your thighs and your ass, you could hear it every time he drilled his fat cock into you, incoherent babbling against the sheets and fat tears rolling down your cheeks, growing closer and closer each time he shoved himself down your dripping cunt.

"right there? yeah, i know you like that dick, can feel you fucking squeezing me back in every time i'm not deep in your guts." he laughed out euphorically, feeling as though you were driving him crazy, he'd never been this dumbfounded over pussy before.

"in—" you squealed out, legs trembling, "inside! o-oh my fughnnn, cum inside!" you blubbered out desperately, fingers clawing at the sheets underneath you, no regard for your volume, far too gone.

your breath was heaving and you couldn't stop the constant squeals of joy and tears flowing as your body shivered with pure bliss, leon noticed this and didn't let up on his pace, hips jackhammering into you erratically and if he didn't have a grip on your skirt and your arm you would've been flung to the other side of the couch, "that's it baby girl, cum on my cock, you're doing so well, m'so proud." he praised.

your stomach clenched and spasmed as your release washed over your entire body, muscles trembling and jolting, voice breathless and hoarse whilst leon fucked your sticky release back into you, desperate to chase his own high, holding you steady so you wouldn't fall limply against the couch.

"ah!" leon grunted, soppy wet sounds of your pussy bouncing off of the walls as he continuously pounded into your abused pussy, "i'm cumming, fuck, fuck, fuck!" he gritted his teeth, pushing his hips flush against you as he whispered out breathlessly, "take it, take it baby." warm hot ropes of his cum spurting out and filling up your pussy.

you were completely spent but something about the sensation had you feeling so warm, so full it made your toes curl and you regained enough energy to push back against him, not wanting to lose even a drop of it.

you both spent more than a few minutes like this, basking in each other's warmth and closeness until you were collapsing from exhaustion, whimpering at the empty, sticky feeling between your legs.

leon leaned down, pressing soft kisses to your back and shoulders, rubbing and squeezing your waist to relieve any tension, "let me clean you up." was the last thing you heard him say, your eyes growing heavier and heavier.

leon didn't mind, he cleaned you up well, lifted you up, and quietly headed to your bedroom, tucking you into bed after ridding you of your skirt which he ripped, so you could enjoy your peaceful slumber for the night as he slipped away back downstairs to remove any evidence of what happened before the sun would come up and he would have to face your father once again.

40 behind the lens — paper rings !

scaramouche x g!n reader

⇢ ˗ˏˋ time skip of three years ࿐ྂ

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

✰ you and kuni graduate at the top of your respected classes and have been dating for almost five years now, known properly as the campus it couple

✰ neither of you moved in together until last year when everyone else started moving out of the shared content houses

✰ first xiaoae move out together, then childe, then heikazu, albenari, then ayaka going back home and venti living on his own

✰ living in the houses on your own was essentially a waste of money and space so jean ended your leases and you guys finally moved in together

✰ and after graduation, with jean’s help, you’re able to slide into the industry pretty easily with your large fanbases

✰ you start off as side characters that grow in popularity since your fans watch the shows and movies you star in just for you both

✰ i like to think kuni double majored in child psych along with film in case acting didn’t work out in his favor so he’s pretty and smart

✰ but since this is fiction it did work out for him cus dreams come true #livelaughlove

✰ id like to think star/you would also act but probably dials it down to direct full time instead

✰ you preferred to direct compared to acting so eventually you started to fund your own projects with kuni on your cast which helped you grow

✰ you try not to cast kuni in every one of your movies because then it’ll look like favoritism but he prefers to star in ones you direct

✰ you also get your friends to be extras a lot, most of the time it’s childe who begs you to let him be in the back for movies

✰ you guys probably don’t get engaged for a while despite living together, blaming it on scara’s commitment issues and the fact that your careers are your main focus

✰ alongside luna, your previous black cat, you probably adopt another white one alongside scara

✰ as for actor!scara headcanons imagine scara on hot ones, that one show on youtube, and he has a straight face the entire time as he eats the hottest wings and answers questions about you

✰i think he’d have a lot of fun on shows like that, example would be eat it or spill it by jimmy fallon, he would annihilate them

✰ he probably does all his own stunts, always giving you a heart attack as you see him falling from heights on harnesses, sometimes he convinces the staff to fool you into thinking he actually got hurt due to a broken rope as he plummets to the ground

✰ he does it so much that there’s enough content for ‘scara pretending to die in front of yn for ten minutes straight’ compilations

✰ you guys probably stream when you can but not as much with your jobs, i think star doing behind the scenes vlogs of you and scara together would be so cute though

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

✰ was a communications major so he’s the PR manager for scara and you after graduating

✰ yes i know technically jean could do this but she has enough on her plate! i’m just thoughtful like that #feminist

✰ constantly trying to prevent you guys from getting into scandals, which is hard when scara cannot keep his opinions to himself

✰ aether probably has a heart attack everytime scara goes off to do interviews since scara always ignores the pre written answers and goes on tangents, which his fans love but twitter not so much

✰ xiao as an animator wud be so sexy guys. like walk with me here imagine an operation true love anime after the drama and webtoon are a hit so he gets to animate for the anime and storyboards with albedo

✰ i’m tryna intertwine all of them even after they graduate can you tell

✰ as for him and aether they probably tie the knot a little while after graduating, small wedding with just close friends and family

✰ xiao would edit one of those pretty wedding videos that youtubers do

✰ but they don’t film the entire wedding for their channels cus they gotta gatekeep

✰ id say xiao probably still streams but he mainly just draws with music in the background or works on his stardew town with aether

✰ xiao probably strains his wrist a lot from all the work he does so at promotion events he’s always wearing a brace on his hand

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

✰ okay in this au let’s all pretend he’s the creator of operation true love cus rmbr he’s a writing major and a huge romantic

✰ like how sexy is that, obviously it does well cus all his fans all read it and so it gets turned into a drama

✰ directed by you of course starring kuni as eunhyuk

✰ he’s still head over heels and throwing up in love with heizou, they probably adopt a cat together when they move in together

✰ i imagine if kazuha ever wrote a murder mystery novel he’d have heizou read it to decipher if the culprit was too easy to figure out

✰ nothing really exciting about heizou’s major in this au, he probably just becomes a detective and streams on the side, known as kazuha’s partner in the entertainment industry and attends all the events when he can

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

✰ obviously goes into the art industry, works on a lot of graphic novels and novel covers and sometimes album covers

✰ when kazuha’s work gets turned into mangas or graphic novels he always does the art for it

✰ he probably paints nari’s favorite flowers for him and they adorn their house’s walls

✰ i’d say he doesn’t stream as much anymore but if he does it’s probably just him doing commissions with music in the background

✰ nari’s major is also not exciting in this au, probably becomes a forest ranger or a college professor

✰ albedo builds him a greenhouse in the back of their house for him

✰ the type to bring hurt animals home and fosters them back to health

˗ˏˋ headcanons ´ˎ˗

childe

✰ stealing from my pookie mrbeast for inspo

✰ he probably does stuff like has a whole business for his videos and side hustles like merch and a food company

✰ like maybe he and diluc collab to make an energy drink or something

✰i mentioned he fancies diluc like once in a previous chapter so that’s why he’s with diluc who streams a little

✰ they probably met properly at another twitch con or creator event

✰ very wow factor oriented like he does more than just stream games, he prefers to work on big challenge videos and loves giving away money

✰ like he would host those extreme hide-and-seek challenges with all his youtuber/streamer friends in weird locations and get them to do weird dares with him

✰ i think heizou would win those types of videos most of the time, whereas scara barely tries and still seems to almost win

✰ diluc probably does one stream a month because it’s not his entire focus, probably also a business major and just appears in childe’s videos once in a while

✰ how cute would it be if childe was always at his 110% in videos and extra hyper to make them more entertaining but when diluc joins him he’s more calm and cute

venti

✰ his streaming fanbase gives him a jumpstart in his music career yk how it is

✰ does a bunch of osts for shows and movies. still streams but also is a popular musician

✰ not an idol 😍🤞 has to be a little different than jptp but does start out by opening for tours and makes it on billboard

✰ i do think he’d eventually do a world tour though on his own and stray away from streaming to focus on his music, would probably just upload vlogs if anything

✰ does the operation true love ost so everyone is working tgt and he’s single in this au cus #singlerep

ayaka

✰ honestly i don’t care what happens to ayaka she’s just there ig

✰ keep doing what ur doing queen! i’ll support you from all the way over here!

behind the lens !

yes i’m using yeonjun as scaras face 🤞

also sorry if this isn’t as in depth as the jptp one i’m just tryna wrap this fic up ☠️

author’s notes — just like jptp i just wanted to do a bunch of headcanons :] this is how i envision their future and if u don’t agree talk to the wall cus idc 😊

synopsis — you, better known as STARDUST, and BALLADEER have always been in competition for the top streamer spot on twitch, which is especially impressive since the two of you have never shown your faces. you’ve never been on good terms, constantly one-upping each other in matches and getting into petty arguments on twitter, causing your fans to also dislike each other. that’s until BALLADEER does a face reveal that breaks the internet with his good looks…which makes you realize it’s the same guy you went on a date with last night. the type of date that made you crave to see him again. the only problem was he didn’t know you were STARDUST and he was way different behind the lens than he portrayed himself online to you. should you keep your identity a secret to salvage the relationship or just let him go?

RippleClan: Moon 40

Rustshade thinks Mosskit is being annoying. He says something that rubs Mosskit the wrong way.

---

Shadowdrop had been back in RippleClan for a few days, and Wildclaw was smart enough to know that something would give way, and soon.

Halibutdusk and Wildclaw had naturally gathered around their brother upon his return from exile, making sure he slept close by that night. It certainly didn’t improve Wildclaw’s standing in the eyes of her Clanmates, but at least Shadowdrop was back. At least he was checking in on his kits. At least he… Wildclaw didn’t know how he was.

Maybe if Wildclaw could do anything but take care of the nursery, she could get her mind off what her brother did, what she helped him get away with, but no. She spent all her days eyeing the three black kits she’d stolen from a queen in pain.

Tempestkit and Mosskit were picking up language fast. Even though their eyes were still a bit big and blurry and they didn’t catch everything Wildclaw said, they were copying whatever they could hear. Mosskit was even forming complete sentences! Trumpetkit was slow to talk, but her small eyes were sharp and saw the world in perfect clarity. Was this at all what Wildclaw and her littermates were like at that age?

They and Troutkit were done nursing for a while and got the chance to crawl around the sand. Troutkit was properly strutting about, each paw carefully planted before she took another step. Carnationspeckle sat with Rattlepelt, helping her adopted daughter craft a drum as they both sat on her fox pelt. Usually Wildclaw would have been bored at the idea of helping make instruments, but even that would have been a blessing compared to—

“Trumpet!” Mosskit whined. Trumpetkit mewed and whined, limply shaking her front paw. A big thorn sat in the middle of her paw.

“Where did you even get a thorn?” Wildclaw groaned. “You’re surrounded by sand!” Trumpetkit cried as Wildclaw picked her up by the scruff. Tempestkit watched wide-eyed as Wildclaw took her sister to the medicine den. Inside, Fennelspot prepared some fresh herbs Clammask collected for him into potent powders and salves. He was just brushing freshly ground herbs into a bowl with his tail when Wildclaw and Trumpetkit appeared.

“Now why are you crying, little kit?” Fennelspot hummed, shaking the herbs off his tail.

“She found a thorn,” Wildclaw groaned, setting the tiny black kit into a nest. Trumpetkit mewed pathetically, flinging her paw about.

“Trumpetkit, hold still,” Fennelspot sighed. He cradled the injured paw on top of his own. “This is in deep. Where did she find thorns?”

“I don’t know,” Wildclaw moaned, wandering deeper into the den. “It’s like I look away for a second and they’re getting into something they shouldn’t. This is exactly why I don’t like nursery duty! I can’t exactly fight a thorn or scare off a kit’s curiosity.”

“You should know by now that you can’t solve all your problems that way,” Fennelspot muttered. “Why do you think your mother gave you nursery duty as your punishment?”

“Because if I’m going to steal kits, might as well look after them,” Wildclaw grumbled. Her fur prickled as Fennelspot glared at her. He held the stare for a while, making Wildclaw squirm.

“Keep Trumpetkit calm while I pull out the thorn,” he finally said. Wildclaw crawled into the nest with Trumpetkit while Fennelspot got a good angle on the thorn.

“It’ll only hurt a moment, then you’ll be fine!” Wildclaw promised Trumpetkit.

“No no no!” Trumpetkit wailed. She kicked at Wildclaw’s side and tried to run away. Wildclaw grabbed her by the scruff. Trumpetkit’s body went loose, but she screamed like a cougar was upon her.

“What is happening in here?” Carnationspeckle and Rattlepelt ran into the medicine den just as Fennelspot got his teeth around the thorn in Trumpetkit’s paw.

With one swift pull, Fennelspot yanked the thorn out of the small kit’s paw. Trumpetkit screeched as loud as lightning striking the shipwreck. Wildclaw instinctively covered her ears. Her jaw dug into her skull. Trumpetkit blubbered and sobbed with a voice like a fox while Fennelspot cleaned the small wound on her paw. Trumpetkit furiously smacked Fennelspot, trying to get away.

“Wildclaw, hold her!” Fennelspot groaned.

“She’s bursting my ears!” Wildclaw yowled. Carnationspeckle wrapped herself around Trumpetkit with a deep purr.

“So you’ll leave a queen to die but won’t help her kit,” Fennelspot grumbled as Trumpetkit’s small wound stopped bleeding. Wildclaw sat up. Her ears burned as Trumpetkit’s screams settled into sobs. Fennelspot’s face fell as the weight of his words settled over him.

“That…” Wildclaw growled, “is not… what happened.” Her claws tore up the edge of the nest.

“I…” Fennelspot stammered, stepping away from Trumpetkit and Carnationspeckle. He steadied himself and his yellow eyes sparked as he breathed deep. “Wildclaw, you are a violent molly. Your ruthlessness causes more pain than it solves. I’m not just referring to Shadowdrop’s situation.” Heat flooded Wildclaw’s face.

“You have no idea what goes on in my mind,” Wildclaw hissed.

“You do tend to overreact…” Rattlepelt admitted. Wildclaw’s fangs dug into her tongue.

“Rattlepelt, I need you to take Trumpetkit back to her siblings,” Wildclaw said quietly, her jaw tense. Trumpetkit’s sobs were now mournful mews as she itched her injured paw. Wildclaw plucked her from Carnationspeckle’s embrace and passed her to Rattlepelt. Rattlepelt tried to day something, but Wildclaw’s amber gaze was like the sun scorching Rattlepelt’s delicate skin. Rattlepelt gently grabbed Trumpetkit and left the medicine den with her.

“Help us understand, Wildclaw,” Carnationspeckle purred.

“Do you two actually think I approve of what my brother did?” Wildclaw hissed, spinning to face Fennelspot and Carnationspeckle. “He was so heartbroken over you that he decided to sire his own litter and try to play pretend.” Wildclaw’s tail jutted at Carnationspeckle’s face. “Anyone can see that’s disturbed! But when he asked for my help, all I saw was Shadowdrop and his kits. Neither of us knew Cinderella was dying. StarClan forbid I try to protect my brother from his own stupidity!”

“It still wasn’t right,” Fennelspot said quietly.

“I don’t want to hear you comment on my so-called ruthlessness,” Wildclaw snapped, turning on Fennelspot. “You can’t understand it. I am a caretaker, and I protect my Clan. We give threats a mouse-length of room to breathe and they can rip out our throats. Don’t you remember Puddlespeckle’s corpse? Foxes did that to him! So when I see a fox, I make sure it can’t hurt us. I drive away rogues and humans and anything that dares lay a claw on my Clan, because I swear on Silverpelt, if anyone has to die that day, it’ll be me! That is my job, and I do it well!” Carnationspeckle glanced at Fennelspot. Fennelspot simply grumbled and turned to his work along the den wall.

“Now if you need me,” Wildclaw growled, “I’m going to continue with my job. Feel free to join me, Carnation. Consider it my apology for Shadowdrop’s behavior.” With that, Wildclaw left the medicine den and stepped into the cheerful squeals and chirps of her young charges, ignorantly basking in the simple joys of playing with one another.

---

All Shadowdrop wanted to do was cuddle with his kits. Despite the chaos, despite the hate and shame attached to everything he’d done, despite the pain and loneliness of spending half a moon alone, wandering the outskirts of the territories… Shadowdrop really loved his kits.

Tempestkit, Mosskit, and Trumpetkit were all chatty, active, and finally weaning. It was better for them to stop nursing from Carnationspeckle, Shadowdrop supposed. They were all developing their own personalities, and each new trait fascinated Shadowdrop. Tempestkit was just like her long-dead aunt, always searching for adventure. Mosskit was more like Wildclaw, trying to be a leader of the group despite not having all the skills for it. Trumpetkit was much quieter and more like her uncle, often asking for a bit of water so she could play with wet sand.

Shadowdrop would probably know even more about the kits if Weedfoot wasn’t sending him on patrols all the time. He was a father now, he wanted to bond with his kits! He was constantly helping other cats with their tasks, whether that be collecting plants or, like now, studying…

“What exactly are we studying?” Shadowdrop groaned as he crouched in the grass beside the horse path.

“We’re going to figure out how monsters keep horses trapped,” Burdockcreek explained, his mangled tail twitching. “They’ll have to stop for the branch we’ve laid across the path. They hate crossing bumpy terrain.” He nodded toward the large branch Shadowdrop dragged from the forest. “While the humans get out and move the branch, we’ll get a good look at the monster.”

“That seems foolish,” Shadowdrop grumbled.

“How else will we learn about them?” Burdockcreek huffed. “Do you want to run in front of a horse’s hooves and hope they stop?” Shadowdrop grit his teeth. He should really learn to shut up sometimes.

As the pair waited, a figure approached from the other side of the border. It was a brown tabby; a molly, from the smell drifting downwind. Her droopy fur in the strong wind. She trotted forward with a destination in mind. Shadowdrop thought she would cross the horse path, but instead, she sat some distance away from it in a spot Clammask had been ruthlessly eager to show Shadowdrop.

“Is she visiting Cinderella’s grave?” Burdockcreek muttered.

Shadowdrop didn’t speak to Cinderella much outside of their lessons, but he knew she had kin. That was part of why she agreed to help him, to learn the skills she needed to help her family. And Shadowdrop took her from them…

A monster rumbled toward the three cats, surging on with shocking speed. Shadowdrop had never seen a monster push its horses so hard. They neighed and shrieked like they would die if they stopped moving. Shadowdrop instinctively crept back. The branch he and Burdockcreek had pulled across the path was thick, but would it stop the monster? Burdockcreek and the stranger on the other side of the path crouched as well, unsure how to react. As the horses pulled their monster toward the branch, they did something Shadowdrop thought was impossible.

They ran off the path.

The stranger shrieked as a wild hoof collided with her side, sending her flying. The monster whipped around the branch, nearly falling on its side in its frantic race. The horses veered back onto the path as fast as they left it.

“They can leave the path?” Burdockcreek screeched. The brown molly rolled on impact. Blood caught on the dying grass. She slowed at the crest of a nearby hill.

No. Not again. Shadowdrop wasn’t going to be blamed for someone else’s death again. He’d been so blind to his own excitement to start a family that he didn’t notice Cinderella’s pain, he left her to die. He wouldn’t let that same fate befall her kin.

“We need to bring her to Fennelspot, now!” Shadowdrop launched across the horse path and barreled toward the crumbled brown molly. No one was going to die that day.

(Shadowdrop: 32, male, warrior, sneaky, good teacher, eloquent speaker)

(Burdockcreek: 34, male, historian, competitive, lore keeper)

(???: 15, female, loner, wise, good speaker, lore keeper)

Vulpisfoglia kit intrigues me because I think she might have a shot of being another actually pretty good vanguard worth going for (as I have talked about before, with few exceptions like Ines, vanguards are by and large pretty interchangeable and generally not as important to pull for as other classes).

Firstly her talents emphasis keeping her on the field longer compared to say Texas (who I will compare her the most to because I do not have any of the other 6 star pioneers and Texas is pretty clearly the best 5 star one, and is on par with the 6 stars from what I have used)

I will not go into her DP generation really, she passively boosts your DP generation and also gives small amounts on her skills but her skills have very quick cycles so that is not really a problem.

She has 667 atk at max trust and with module upgrades. She also gains +8% or +53 atk while blocking enemies from her module (also boosts her defense, but her defense is the lowest of the 6 star pioneer vanguards).

Her S2 does 300% of atk as damage (although its crowd control abilities are probably the main draw with the slow or stun on already slowed enemies) on a decently short cooldown (half that of Texas S2) with two charges able to be held. 300% and since it is a different type of damage increase from the atk increase from her module it means we get 3x720=2160 arts damage.

She also does 40% of her atk as extra arts damage on each hit for the first 10 seconds after hitting an enemy (I assume this applies before her damage is calculated because that is usually how debuffs work in arknights). Which is 288. This number gets added on all her regular attacks and skills alike.

Id say her S2 is *almost* a direct upgrade to Texas S2. Texas does have the benefit of stunning always but two charges of Vulpisfoglia skill does that too for much higher damage. However Texas can hit more targets, but Vulpisfoglia´s upper cap is 6 targets which is more then enough most of the time. Now Texas benefits lie more in her talents though and how cheap she is to deploy. But this is already looking very promising for Vulpisfoglia.

So then her S3... which has an even shorter cooldown at only 18 sp cost, it only lasts 10 seconds but this is a really quick skill cycle. Which is very good. She also has 10 starting SP which helps her get it active right away with Bagpipe. So here is where attack speed becomes relevant... as a pioneer vanguard she has 1.05 second attack speed, so basically one second. Which is quite fast for arknights. This skill will boost her attack speed to very high numbers with it going up by +180 points. However because it gradually decays back down to 0 over the time of the skill I will for the sake of my sanity for now not go into what her DPS ends up at, just know that it starts out with very high attack speed and then decays back down to merely being fast.

With the +110% atk bonus this means...

Every hit will do 1401+53+560 damage, with the last one being arts damage and the previous one as physical damage. So 1454 physical damage + 560 arts damage per hit with very fast hits to up to 2 enemies per attack at up to 2 tiles ahead of her that also stun the enemy for 0.2 seconds (which at her higher attack speeds is permastun). She also gains camo after skill ends until next activation if she takes down at least one enemy.

the phantom's game

wow okay, this fic has A LOT of lore. if you don't want to read a fic with a plot full of Plot and Slow Burn then this isn't the fic for you. alternatively, if you're looking for a fic that reads like it should be shoved in the recesses of a dingy library then this might be the fic for you?

masterlist

the fic:

the phantom's game will be incredibly slow in the beginning because it's basically remus just getting his footing in the world of literature and it's building up to the main plot.

this fic will also be written in three parts (but it will be put all together as one fic in case you want to download it or whatever, it also makes reading easier i think) or at least that's the aim. it may end up being more than three (maybe four MAYBE) and the word count aim is around 100k to 120k words. ideally the fic was to have around 40/50 chapters but as of now im really uncertain about the length (even though i know how it ends lol) because, and im such a nerd for this, but i ended up doing some math about fic chapter length compared to the original work and so far ive gathered that for every 1 chapter in the original work i have 2 chapters for my fic and an additional 1.5k words. it took me forever to work that out please clap. counting words in a book is hard.

and also

i feel like it's a testament to the dedication im putting into this fic 😔

the point of view might change from third to first person after part one, which may be a bit confusing so im putting a pin in this idea for now as im not even close to part two (let me know what you think about this!)

characters/relationships

this fic is written from the perspective of remus lupin and the main pairing is wolfstar (remus/sirius). main characters are remus, leo ferox (from the fanfiction all the young dudes), and sirius black. other characters are barty crouch jr, lily evans and her father who is an oc; maurice evans and other characters will be added as i write because i cba to actually flesh it out rn (and also i dont want to spoil). there are also minor relationships that are discussed.

trigger warnings/content warnings:

there are quite a few things that happen in this fic that id like to forewarn you of should you decide to read it. there are discussions of abusive parents, substance abuse and violence. in one of the chapters there will be some dubious consent, drugging, there will be descriptions of murder and violence as well as discussions around mental illness and homophobia. discussions/mentions of suicide!!!!

i will be adding on as the fic goes because i know there is stuff that ive missed.

why am i doing this???

i largely wrote this fic because i got high on meds and some other stuff it was wacko and i had absolutely nothing to do. id completely given up in trying to recover my old zombie apocalypse fic (it's a long story) and i really wanted something that i was familiar with not just because i liked the complex and the idea but because i knew it. iykwim?

it's based on a book i read when i was fifteen that got me out of the second largest reading slump in my life and basically catapulted me into the genre of fantasy realism and the whole dark/chaotic academia scene. i also decided that i would continue writing it after my beta @thestrawberryapologist showed interest in it.

another reason why i continued it rather than trying to piece together a nonexistent zombie apocalypse fic was because i have recommended this book COUNTLESS times but it seems no one i recommended it to seemed to like it.

so this is me saying, very passive aggressively, that the plot IS GOOD :(

i smashed the original book in like 2 days and ive been thinking about it for four years straight. i haven't even gotten to reading the other parts of the series because im still hooked on how THIS specific one was written.

its also a really fun (and for me) a new look into the characters because ive really never written anything this detailed before. the plot is a rollercoaster and you HAVE to stay on your toes with the the original work and i would really really like to reflect that onto my writing.

this is also the first time since i was 15/16 that ive properly attempted anything full length with the means to actually finish it off.

when is it going to be finished?

that's a good question. and one i don't know the answer to. it took me 2 months to get to chapter 4 so... it may take a year or two or 6 months dude but it's gonna be long and it's gonna be full

please don't be shy to ask me about it (though that doesn't mean im inclined to spoil it — which i won't!)

Wasn’t the guy who took off his mask for the flirty girl confirmed a different guy? Like they’re wearing different jackets in the pictures

Everything is very uncertain but seems like at least the police still consider it to be the same guy and person of interest, just wearing different clothes. All the newest articles are still talking about the smiling guy as the suspect. I'm admittedly bad with faces but to me the smiling guy in the hostel looks a lot like Luigi Mangione if you compare their features. The pictures taken in taxi also resemble him, and in an interview the snitches from mcdonalds actually said they recognized him from his eyes and eyebrows. The fake id Luigi presented to the cops at mcdonalds was allegedly the same the person of interest used when checking into the hostel (at least if we believe what the police have said about how Luigi was caught). However i think that in the pictures from Starbucks he looks pretty different from other pictures and Luigi though it could be the lighting.

Of course the guy/s in other pictures resembling Luigi doesn't necessarily mean it's him, and we don't even know is the guy in the pictures really the shooter, only that the police think so (or claim that they think so). He's innocent until proven guilty, and i'm not very familiar with the american justice system but i read that the lawyer who has been hired to lead his defense is apparently very good and has 40 years of experience, and i'm sure he's going to bring up how flimsy the surveillance camera evidence appears to be, both regarding is it really Luigi in the pictures and do all the pictures even feature the same man because without further evidence you could easily argue they might all be different people. Though just before writing this i read that they've allegedly found his fingerprints on the scene which adds forensic evidence

#what a media circus imagine if the police and media put in this energy for murdered people who aren't millionaire ceos #mail

G Witch Onscreen Text: Episode 13

And so, here we are! On Part 14 of my series where I transcribe and discuss all the text on monitors and screens in G Witch! We've reached Season 2 Episode 1: "Envoys from Earth!"

<< Click here to return to Episode 12!

Or, if you're lost, you can go to the Masterpost!

Now! Shall we..?

Coming out of the gate, in the opening shot, we can just barely make out EBONY BOAS as the Pilot's name and F06-12 AZRAWAN as the MS name before he announces it in the duel proper.

TEXT: DUEL BETTING ODDS TYPE OF BETTING: SINGLE RANK | ID No. | NAME | ODDS 1. | LPO41 | SULETTA MERCURY | 1.2 2. | KP003 | SHADDIQ ZENELLI | 2.9 3. | KP002 | ELAN CERES | 3.1 4. | KP013 | LAUDA NEILL | 6.4 5. | LP023 | JEFFERY EASTCOTT | 9.5 6. | KP019 | RACHEL SCHNASS | 9.8 7. | KP014 | SABINA FARDIN | 10.1 8. | LP021 | THEDAL SARYAN | 10.9 9. | KP028 | EBONY BOAS | 11.2 10. | LP013 | RENEE COSTA | 14.4

CLAPS HANDS! Ohohoho it's my FAVORITE topic! DUEL STATISTICS! And SO SOON too!! We get yet another look at the top 10 rankings at Asticassia right at the start of Season 2, to see how they've shifted (in the at least 2 months and 5 days) since we saw them in episode 8 in Season 1.

First, lets compare the updated rankings to the ones in episode 8: EPISODE 8 RANKINGS:

| KP003 | SHADDIQ ZENELLI | 1.3

| LP041 | SULETTA MERCURY | 1.9

| KP002 | ELAN CERES | 2.7

| KP001 | GUEL JETURK | 3.4

| KP014 | SABINA FARDIN | 6.9

| LP029 | OLTA SHUBACCA | 7.6

| KP013 | LAUDA NEILL | 9.1

| LP022 | JONAS MOUWEN | 9.8

| MP028 | RAGNAR OOLES | 11.4

| LP013 | RENEE COSTA | 13.3

So, first and foremost, one of the major shakeups here is that Guel is officially off the leaderboard. This is because he's been "unenrolled" from the school, so he's been removed, or at the very least suspended, from the Dueling system.

In terms of overall shifting, all of the background characters on the previous board have been replaced with others.

Olta Shubacca (6th), Jonas Mouwen (8th), and Ragnar Ooles (9th) from the Episode 8 board have been replaced by:

Jeffery Eastcott (5th), Rachel Schnass (6th), Thedal Saryan (8th) and Ebony Boas (9th) on the Episode 13 board. (There's one extra because one has also replaced Guel)

Suletta, Shaddiq, and Elan still maintain their spots within the top 3, with a 1.2, 2.9, and 3.1 respectively. (Suletta has surpassed Shaddiq after beating him, ofc)

Lauda has made a VERY LARGE jump up in the time since Episode 8, moving up from 7th with a 9.1 to 4th with a 6.4! Very impressive, and taking his brother's position as well! He's even surpassed Sabina, who he was ranked below previously. But unlike Guel, Lauda is still 3.3 points below Elan in 3rd, with a 6.4. He's much higher than Jeffery in 5th place, who has a 9.5, but the unfortunate truth is that he's still just unable to break through that barrier into the Best of the Best within Asticassia. But we should still appreciate his hard work in upholding the Jeturk name while his brother's missing. Good job Lauda!

Sabina has dropped from 5th at 6.9 to 7th at 10.1, taking Lauda's former position. Sheesh! What a drop! Although I wouldn't doubt if this drop is primarily due to Grassley not partaking in many duels in general lately. (I wonder why that would be...)

Renee is an interesting case. On both leaderboards she's in 10th place, but in Episode 8, she has a 13.3 and in Episode 13 she has a 14.4 She's dropped 1.1 points, but apparently she's still managed to maintain her position at 10th. I wonder what that says about the gap between 10th and 11th...

The updated House representation in the top 10 are: Grassley - Shaddiq, Sabina, Renee (3/10) - 30% Peil - Elan (1/10) - 10% Jeturk - Lauda (1/10) 10% Earth - Suletta (1/10) 10% Unknown House - Jeffery, Rachel, Thedal, Ebony (4/10) - 40%

In terms of changes in representation from Episode 8 Grassley - No change Peil - No change Jeturk - Down 20% (From 3 to 1) Earth - No Change Unknown House - Up 20% (From 2 to 4)

Alright, almost done here, lets plot out the changes in odds once more!

Guel: Episode 3 Odds: 1 Episode 5 Odds: 1.4 Episode 8 Odds: 3.4 Episode 13 Odds: Unranked 1 - 1.4 - 3.4 - Unranked

Elan: Episode 5 Odds: 1 Episode 6 Odds: 1 Episode 8 Odds: 2.7 Episode 13 Odds: 3.1 1 - 1 - 2.7 - 3.1

Suletta: Episode 3 Odds: 8.6 Episode 6 Odds: 2.7 Episode 8 Odds: 1.9 Episode 13 Odds: 1.2 8.6 - 2.7 - 1.9 - 1.2

Shaddiq: Episode 8 Odds: 1.3 Episode 13 Odds: 2.9 1.3 - 2.9

Sabina: Episode 8 Odds: 6.9 Episode 13 Odds: 10.1 6.9 - 10.1

Renee: Episode 8 Odds: 13.3 Episode 13 Odds: 14.4 13.3 - 14.4

Lauda: Episode 8 Odds: 9.1 Episode 13 Odds: 6.4 9.1 - 6.4

There's a general feeling of Power Creep within the rankings. The average scores in the top 10 are generally lower across the board compared to episode 8, and its most likely because of how power is concentrating upwards.

Oy vey, so much text and we're not even 2 minutes through the episode...

During this scene, Rouji comments that it seems like Elan's changed, and Secelia slyly responds, "I'd say he's a different person~"

I have literally zero proof for this but I 100% wholeheartedly believe that Secelia just knows that El4n was replaced with 5lan somehow. Like she knows and decides to just fuck with him for fun about it cause she doesn't really give a shit she just thinks it's hilarious.

Boas has 5 wins and 4 losses, but even with a track record like that, he's still 9th on the leaderboard.

Also, of the 5 battles in the Serial Duel, 2 of the opposing pilots are girls! Just something I thought was fun.

In Season 2's OP, Slash, we get our only other look at Notrette in the series. We can see her hair comes down to around her elbows (at least that strand in front) and that Miorine got her white grey hair from her. We also see a ring on her finger, presumably her wedding ring.

Which is interesting, because in the show proper, we see that Delling is no longer wearing his. He probably stopped wearing it after Notrette died.

If we take a look back at the other shot of Notrette in her casket, it seems that she wasn't buried in that ring, and later this season, we see Miorine wearing a ring exactly like it.

There's no hard proof, but I'm willing to bet she's wearing her mother's ring. (Another fun ring related fact is that, in the prologue, Nadim and Elnora also aren't wearing wedding rings. Maybe they just aren't wearing them, but considering that the two had met when Nadim was transferred to Vanadis to manage Lfrith's development, and the Vanadis team had been working seemingly nonstop for years on it, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the two didn't have the time for a fancy wedding, and probably only had a little reception within Vanadis. Maybe if things were different, they'd have gotten a pair.)

Anyway, tangent aside, Slash also changes depending on the nature of the story. I will point these out when they occur!

During Shaddiq's debriefing of the Plant Quetta attack, he points out that the two gundams used in the attack used "The Gund Format's Parallel Structure." You'll have to give me some time to deduce the meaning of that, but we do see two graphs labelled PMET RETENTION.

The Permet Codes LF - T (for Thorn) and LF - U (for Ur) are also labeled as UNREGISTERED, and the ANALYSIS RESULT at the bottom is identified as the GUND FORMAT PARALLEL STRUCTURE.

Again you'll have to give me time to try and fucking. Piece out what that could possibly mean.

Anyway, this shot of Sophie and Norea's IDs shows us that Sophie's is MP040, and Norea's is MP041. Their Birthplace is EARTH, NO DATA is reported for their house or criminal records (lol), their Biometrics have been registered, and their recommended company is DARA MATERIALS, which we learn from Nika is a fake company that's just registered within the Group.

(They're both first year piloting students, and are numbered just after Chuchu, who's ID is MP039.)

Going off of where she points, my best guess is that the Bat Plush is her dad, the Giraffe Plush is her mom, and the dog and onion plushes are her little sisters.

When Suletta is showing Sophie around the school we see that she took her to MOTHERFUCKING MOBILE CRAFT CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!! YES!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! I LOVE YOU MOBILE CRAFT!!!!

Noticeable differences between this shot and the similar one from the first episode is that a student is presenting the info this time, and it's a different mobile craft model. (It has 2 long arms as opposed to the 4 of the previous, and is 3.0m)

When Norea bumps into 5lan, we see some more of her drawings

The first is this sketch of what I assume is a bovine skull of some kind, with spiders crawling all over it

The second is this sketch of a derelict train station, and it's actually a drawing of the same abandoned station on earth we get a shot of in Episode 10.

And finally a sketch of some shed snake skins.

This scene is also where Norea steals 5lan's notebook in order to access the Pharact.

The Request Timeout screen Nika receives when she tries to contact the Dawn of Fold. She gets error code CO3 and the message is just, THERE'S NO ANSWER.

There's a couple reasons this could be, but I think Norea probably contacted them earlier and told Naji that she was unreliable.

When Nika threatens to expose herself, on her phone she's pulled up the contact of the Facility Management Company.

Norea's eye twitches in response to the threat. She thinks Nika is really annoying.

TEXT: CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION DATAFILE PRO 1.0.0 QUIET ZERO CONCEPT PRODUCER: DELLING REMBRAN FILE DISPLAY DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

This is what loads on Prospera's phone when she hands it to Miorine. I wonder what the actual contents of this presentation are.

Do you think it has any slide transitions.

That's all for this episode! Quite a long one huh? (Mostly cause of duel stats. Sorry. I like duel stats. It probably won't happen again.)

I really like this episode as an opening to the season. It hits you with whiplash after the ending of the last season like, huh? After all that we're just going back to the dueling stuff? And it holds it just long enough before slowly beginning to bring things back to reality, heading it off with Sophie and Norea showing up, bursting the bubble entirely. There's just no going back! Suletta challenges the girls to a duel, just like she did to Guel in the first episode of the series, and you already know that it's not going to end well, because the Earthian Witches don't respect the rules of the school. Norea even points out that it's stupid. Sophie only agrees to prove a point.

You have to be prepared for what comes next, Suletta.

Episode 14 >>

I'm constantly watching videos on local mushrooms, reading mushroom guides for my own area and in my own language, and then I go to the forest all filled with knowledge, and every single time the forest is full of mushrooms I've never seen or heard about. Here's some of them I'm very curious about! If anyone has a guess I would love to have any info!

So this mushroom was everywhere in the forest, I found about 40 of them, and the tops are olive green in color. Based on everything I know, I assume it's Russula heterophylla (Greasy green brittlegill), the brown-green edible mushroom, but I don't know how to be absolutely sure. I don't want to eat it without verifying. It's also very similar to Russula virescens, which is edible, but has scales on the top. The mushroom on the picture has a completely smooth top, except for all of the bites!

2. These look like actual corals in the forest! I looked up coral mushrooms, and I feel like it could be Ramaria botrytis, but again, I'm unsure, I wonder if there's a way to tell for certain! Are all coral mushroom edible, or are some poisonous?

3. These tiny adorable mushrooms were growing in pair and they gave me an experience I've never had before: they smell like CANDY. I smelled one and it was fruity, acidic, sweet, it smells like a ground cherry! Lightly pineapple-ish, but more acidic, I was shocked to experience a smell like that from a mushroom! I took one home to take better pictures, I would love to now what it is.

4. This mushroom is just too pretty. I couldn't resist taking it. It is perfect in every way. Looks like a penny bun except underneath it has gills. Have no clue what it is, but the aesthetic is perfect. It doesn't smell very appetizing; the only thing I can compare the smell to is a worn shoe. Would love to know what this is.

5. The looks of this mushroom just got me; it's growing on the top of a fallen tree, and the top so cracked! I've seen cracked mushrooms before but this one is all cracks. I've read that sometimes mushrooms end up cracked if they grow too fast and the skin on the top can't accommodate rapid growth. There's big ants walking underneath, and it has big gills. Would love to point at this mushroom and say its name.

(if you have those fancy mushroom-id apps and can use them with these pictures, that would be amazing, because my phone is 10 years old and does not support apps, and google lens refuses to work on web)

hii, could i rq a matchup with anyone from obey me, twst or kamisama kiss? ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)

im a bi girl, 5'3, intp-t 4w5 + aquarius, id say im some kind of ambiverted like 60% awkward-reserved-anti-social introvert and 40% chaotic, rambly, all over the place, once i start i dont stop extrovert?? depends on my mood i think (˘∀˘) for some random traits i'm erratic, eccentric, conscientious, creative, empathetic, unserious, sarcastic, not a team player and definitely come across as strange to literally anyone not used to me

hmmmm some hobbies i have are baking, writing, editing and arts + crafts (drawing, painting, making my own random stuff like candles, soap, stickers) - very practical very fun 🧝‍♀️ i also like gaming when i have time which is basically always bc im lazy and hate work, i leave everything last minute and procrastinate so much bc i and i'd rather be doing what i want instead of boring stuff 😒👎 it all ends up rushed and low effort unless im passionate abt it. probably why i'm also never on time but that's also bc i love sleeping

if i had to pick a label for whatever my style's supposed to be {bc i just dress in whatever looks good tbh} i'd say a hybrid of grunge and indie maybe💪😘 i take pride in my dress sense actually i think its gojus (μ_μ)

i have collections/mini collections of a couple things - plushies, crystals, stickers, bracelets and i keep anything and everything people might give me, i've done it as long as i can remember, like not even gifts just if someone gives me a rock or a piece of stationery or origami etc it'll be in my possession forever i'm too sentimental to get rid of anything, i have so much scattered everywhere it's unfunny 🧍‍♀️ i think my love languages are physical affection bc i love closeness altho im crap with emotional stuff but words of affirmation and mushy fluffy stuff can be pretty neat {even if it's embarrassing and awkward xox} + gifts bc i love buying myself stuff and receiving presents, i also like giving them but i feel like i'm spending too little or too much or compare it to what they give back to me and feel like it's not good enough or what they'd want bc i'm usually either too stingy or spend too much and think too much + feel bad when it feels like i don't give back to people as much as they give to me in any sense?? | (• -•)|

i love purple, literature, rock/pop/dance/techno music, space, halloween, history, things that smell nice/scented stuff, philosophy, nature, horror, psychology, fantasy, sweet/sour/salty foods, and animals {especially my bunnies ofc, my pride and joy <3} so im working towards becoming a vet bc im good w science and i'd definitely rather look after them than humans bc i am not a people person i'd fail miserably xox

i don't like ppl who are ignorant or inconsiderate bc they're annoying and punchable, my family, the ocean bc it's scary and doing embarrassing stuff which tbh is basically everything smh

anyways i tried to condense whatever i could think of LMAO but i cba to do anymore 💀💌 thank u!!

The Kamisama requests always make me happy:')

I match you with..

...Mizuki!

The most gentle and sweet lover in the whole world.

He matches you like CRAZY, soulmates real;

Loves being chaotic with you, getting caught up in shenanigans and being lovey dovey with you;

He just randomly snuggles up to you whether it's in his snake form or human form, if snake form let's out occasional cute bloops that you die for, he also does the cute snake yawn, he knows it's cute and he's doing it on PURPOSE;

I hc that mizuki is great at portraits and has painting sessions with you in which you 2 paint in peace and show eachother the piece;

You teach him how to properly bake so that he doesn't drop lizards in almost everything you bake-

"but-but it's for good luck:("

"Mizuki, no"

He encourages you not wanting to work and lazes off with you, if for no reason Tomoe comes over he annoyingly comments on how as your familiar mizuki shouldn't encourage this but who listens to him;

Spends mornings sleeping in with you, if you have to go to school he'll just transform into his snake form and accompany you there!

Loves your collection of crystals and other things, so he finds the most beautiful crystals just for you♡

Loves your bunnies and cradles them in his hands, your basically a family, your bunnies have a dad now;

So in all he's the perfect match for you, the most peaceful and loveable relationship ♡⁠˖

Thank you for the request dear annon! May you have a wonderful week<3

i just finished Infinite Darkness and have a lot of Thoughts™️. please indulge me if you'd like.

spoiler + long post warning

i went into it with pretty low expectations because everyone kept on calling it a shitshow. it's not bad per se, but it wasn't good either. it was.. meh. 2.5/5.

afaik ID takes place in 2006, and RE4 in '04. so why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

that honestly fucked it up timeline-wise for me. was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

if that's the case, Leon and Claire still somehow are able to remember the events of Raccoon City in this timeline.

my brain can't come to a logical conclusion over the timeline, so i'll leave it at that.

i wish they gave Claire more screen time. they did her so dirty imo.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions? a loveteam? if this was so, what even was their last conversation in ep 4?

the Claire on top of Leon scene. tf? what the hell were they trying to set up? were they going to fuck and continue the redfield bloodline right then and there? kiss? hug? maybe punch each other's lights out?? i'm seriously so fucking confused.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it.

(were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died? it was like he just forgot about her.

i love how President Graham believes anything as long as Leon is involved. in ep 1 when Leon's late: "it's fine bc you saved my daughter." in the last ep when Patrick tells him that Wilson was behind everything and cites Leon as source, Mr. POTUS decides to wing his speech ON THE SPOT just because of that fact. what if Patrick was making it up? that really would have fucked up international relations and all that. i don't know. Graham really loves Leon i guess.

going off of that, i wish we got to see more of Patrick. i would have loved to see him interact more with Leon.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

i have no idea if a Season 2 would be able to salvage/explain the plot, but honestly i don't think the series deserves a Season 2. it might be a waste of time and money plus an even bigger disappointment to fans.

alright, onto performances.

Nick Apostolides to me sounds like someone who's breaking in a new pair of shoes. it sounds like he's still getting used to walking in them and therefore tries different things (which i find ironic since he'd already voiced baby faced rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy atp, but also understandable as Leon sounded young in that game). he's all over the place imo. he sounded like RE2R Leon, RE4R Leon, and someone else entirely throughout the four episodes. but as you said in another ask, he really made up for it in RE4R. solid voice acting all around imo.

Ray Chase. before i saw him here i knew him as Neuvillette (aka "according to the judgment of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale") in Genshin Impact. his line delivery is stellar. i hope that's also him voicing mutated/infected Jason because he sounds fantastic there. but there's a line that he says there that sounds so awkward because the delivery is so sped up that the emotion is gone.

Stephanie Panisello also voices Claire in RE2R, but i haven't seen too much of her there to compare it to her performance here. i will say, however, that i honestly enjoyed her performance here, but there are times when she sounds like she's holding back a bit. it would have been perfect if she let go a little bit more.

Jona Xiao as Shen Mei was also great, but i think she also suffers the sams problem as Stephanje in that she sounds like she'a holding back.

Doug Stone as Wilson was perhaps the most enjoyable for me, as well as Billy Kametz who voiced Patrick.

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

https://youtu.be/7lnFgfhVW-E?si=RZ-EF-WN2vVDY8PS holy shit.

the unfortunate thing is

most of my responses to your reactions boil down to "welcome to the RE CGI-verse." like:

why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

i wish they gave Claire more screen time

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died?

all fall under that category LMAO

now, in terms of things i can respond to:

was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

no. just because leon's character model looks bad doesn't mean that the story exists out of universe. it takes place in 06 and is part of the regular OG canon timeline. period.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions?

nothing.

the CGI-verse is the reason why a few true cleon diehards still hold onto hope that cleon will still somehow be endgame, but the fact of the matter is that leon and claire just have That Kind of Friendship. it goes nowhere; it's just how they are.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it. (were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

both explanations are correct. ID adds a new dimension to the running "OG Leon is a Fucking Slut Who Can't Actually Score" gag by making him an actual homewrecker this time around. but ultimately yes it was to show the locket.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

nothing and you know it lmao

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

this is the best moment that OG leon has in the entire series and i'm not joking. it's not the best in the sense of "this is when he, as a person, is at his best." it's the best in the sense of "this is the only moment in the entire series where we get to see leon do his Actual Job and know what he Actually Does outside of outbreak incidents, and it serves to add more context and perspective to so many other facets of his character." i could write an entire fucking essay about this scene/moment. god.

Little things I did recently:

Listened to 20 minutes of Silent Reading chapter 1 audiobook, twice. Understood more the 2nd time around. But I'm relying on remembering the plot to follow the description heavy portions. The dialogue portions I can follow almost all details, so they help me identify which scene I'm listening to. Exciting and humbling. Exciting because I CAN mostly follow the audio Drama now (i listened to a bit last week) whereas in the past I was lost with nl descriptions to orient me and limited comprehension of comversations. But humbling, in listening to the audio BOOK now, because back when I was reading modu as chinese practice I was Very Familiar with the descriptive words and the descriptive paragraphs were how I guessed what scene I was listening to (compared to chinese chapters I'd already read before and looked the words up). Where now, the descriptive words have faded from my mind, and are the harder parts to grasp the meaning of now. I think that...overall, my chinese listening is Better now than it was 6 months ago. But I can tell that the reading-only vocabulary I've picked up is much rustier in my memory, and much harder for me to recognize in listening with no hanzi to look at for reference.

Read 5 panels (chapters) of 19天. Ended up looking up 聚会 because I couldnt remember the "gather" hanzi was pronounced ju. For some reason I kept thinking it was zi like purple 紫. But no, it was ju, for gather: 聚集 gather (juji), 聚会 (juhui) reunion. Again, I recommend that manhua if you like funny, physical comedy, slice of life. It's fun, and even if you can't read something then the pictures have a lot of the comedy anyway.

Watched 40 minutes of qi hun (hikaru no go cdrama adaptation) in only chinese. NO subtitles. First time I tried watching a show with zero subtitles including no chinese subs. I've been listening to audioboks with no text recently though, so I guess I felt I might as well try a show with no subtitles. Hikaru no go is on iqiyi youtube free (still free thank goodness), and iqiyi is one of the channels that has no hard chinese subs - you can turn on english or chinese subs, but they arent pre-made on the video. It was really cool to try! 1. I understood almost every detail! I got lost when Chu Ying said some "sayings" to kid Shi Guang, and when Chu Ying explained playing go I only understood him saying the size of the board/placement number choices, I was confused about the rest of the explanation.

I didn't understand a few lines kid Shi Guang said, but he's speaking like a kid muffled and quick during those lines and I got the gist. It was really exciting just being able to WATCH the scenes, my focus not half torn on the subs. To actually hear how the lines are said, without translation changes. Some words I could guess from context like xia qi 下棋 for play go, since Chu Ying keeps saying 我想下棋。 and shi guang keeps saying to stop crying ToT. But I do think I could have guessed the parts I didnt grasp, like Chu Yings "sayings" if Id had the chinese subtitles on and saw the hanzi to help myself figure out what he meant. So I may rewatch the episode with chinese subs. But since this summer is about improving LISTENING COMPREHENSION, I am just pretty exciting it went so well. Also the show is just so comforting. Id totally forgotten Shi Guang's little intro where he explains what the show/journey will be about!

I wonder if they dubbed the show? I assume they dubbed it, probably, since most cdramas do. But kid shi guang and the other kids talk pretty natural sounding (not like trying to sound "acting" if that makes sense, with clear projected enough voices), which reminds me of To Dear Myself with zhu yilong which either used audio filmed During Scenes or instructed the actors to dub themselves speaking more realistically (i dont remember which, that show just had a Very realisticly visual audio and acting feel). Adult shi guang also has a very natural sound to how he speaks, like the sound of his voice we hear is how he would sound if talking to regular close friends.

In Japanese Glossika app, I've studied 1129 sentences, done 9137 reps (repetitions of sentences), and studied 24:39 hours. Glossika labels me in High A1 14.7%. While I've still got some significant complaints about the new glossika app japanese course, my stubbornness to complete all the fucking sentences and judge for myself how good/bad it is has definitely Motivated me to Study japanese more. I've studied those 24 hours in the past 3 weeks, so a little over 1 hour a day of studying on average. Thats way more than the ZERO time per week I was spending on japanese, and its audio so I've been able to do it with my regular life schedule.

(Truly glossikas Only Unique benefit to me is the listening mode, so I can press play and it gives me new sentences and reviews at time intervals it schedules on its own, so i do not have to put any effort into figuring out what to do next or take time away from other activities to constantly click my screen for an hour... i can just click play new, or click play review, and continue on with my life knowing I'm learning some new stuff and reviewing things i need to. If anything else fucking had this feature id jump to it instead. Clozemaster Kind of had this feature - and i paid for a while just for it - but clozemaster's Radio mode did not split new from reviews and did not spaced repetition schedule the reviews so there were a LOT of days i wouldnt hear new sentences or id review the same 300 sentences instead of different ones out of the 2000+ i had studied).

I am curious if the Chinese Glossika app course is better? I know the old cd chinese course was fairly good, as learner reviews mentioned some alternately worded things but nothing worded Wrongly. So if the new chinese app course, please please please, just used ANY of their people on staff who know chinese (like the maker of it) to human translate, then their chinese app course should be one of the app courses with the LEAST errors. Since its a language they, presumably, have the most access to human translators for. And im curious if therefore i could study using it. Or vice versa, if the new chinese app course is trash id like to review how fucking far their quality has tanked. I recognize more chinese than japanese, and i'd be able to tell within 500 sentences roughly what the error rate is in the chinese app course.

If you have a bad mattress and can't afford a good one, get a mattress topper, quarter to half an inch thick foam, $20 to $40 depending on size

If you don't make a ton of money, you're probably better off taking the standard deduction when doing your taxes than itemizing them (whatever service you use will do the math for you, so don't just take my word for it, check it out when you file)

Stealing is an art, not a science, and one one small fuckup can ruin your entire life so DO NOT GET CAUGHT. Do not act nervous or suspicious, do not look around to see if anyone is watching, and do not stuff anything in your pocket in the same aisle you picked it up from.

Library cards are free, and most of the time you don't even need an ID, you can just tell them your name and give them a fake address (I'd actually recommend giving them a real address of a big apartment complex so the system will see it's legit; one of my friends has cards from six or seven big cities they've never been to by applying online). They have free wifi, and if you don't have a mobile device they have free computers too (they almost certainly log every keystroke and record every website you visit, even on incognito mode, so don't do anything stupid; if it could potentially be used as Exhibit A in a trial, don't search it). Printing costs less than a quarter per page (my library charges 10 cents a pop)

Not all store brand products are created equal; some are literally the same as name brand with different packaging, but others taste/smell/feel like an artificial intelligence had a product described to it once and this is its best attempt at a facsimile. For foodstuffs I would recommend comparing brands to see which you like best, but always buy store brand drugs.

Nothing costs $1 at the dollar store and quality is lousy by design, but sometimes you need a crappy spatula or an extra set of utensils or a single roll of paper towels

Duct tape is not magic. Adam Savage recommends gaffer tape instead, though it is more expensive and not available everywhere, so if you need duct tape get the thick kind (the thin stuff doesn't adhere as well and sticks to itself too easily)

things i wish i had known when i escaped my family household and couldn't ask my parents for help

invest in a good mattress early on. there are many other ends you can save on - sleep is not one of them. this is key to how much energy you'll have throughout the day

you don't need a bedframe but you do need a slatted bed base (even if it's just pallets)

opening a bank account is easy

there's youtube tutorials for everything. how to install your washing machine, how to use tools, fixing stuff around the place. channels like dad, how do i? are a godsend

change energy provider as soon as your old deal runs out. you'll get better offers elsewhere and avoid price gouging

assemble a basic first aid kid at home: painkillers, probiotics, alcohol wipes, bandages, tweezers, antihistamine tablets - anything you might need in a pinch

and an emergency toolkit: flashlight, extra batteries, a utility knife, an adjustable wrench, multi-tool, duct tape

set your fridge to the lowest temperature it can go. the energy consumption is minimal in difference and it'll give you +4/7 days on most foods

off-brand products are almost always the same in quality and taste, if not better, for half the price

coupons will save you a lot of money in the long run

there's no reason to be shy around employees at the bank/laundromat/store; most people will be happy to help

vegetarian diets are generally cheap if you make food from scratch

breakfast is as important as they say

keep track of your budget in a notebook or excel file - e.g. rent, phone and internet bills, food, leisure so you'll have an overlook on your spending over the months

don't gamble

piracy is okay

stealing from big stores and chains is also ethically okay

keep medical bills and pharmacy receipts for tax returns

also, file your tax returns early

take up a hobby that isn't in front of a screen. pottery, music, going for a run every now and then, stuff that'll keep you busy and sane

and most importantly... you're allowed to get the stuff you want. treat yourself to the occasional mundane thing. a good scented candle. a bath bomb. that body lotion that makes you feel like royalty. the good coffee beans.

you're free and you deserve to be happy.

Eligibility Criteria for Personal Loans in Bhubaneswar

Personal loans can be a great financial tool to address immediate needs such as medical emergencies, education expenses, Home Renovations, or even consolidating debt. If you reside in Bhubaneswar and are considering applying for a personal loan, understanding the eligibility criteria is crucial. This guide will walk you through the key requirements and tips to enhance your eligibility for a personal loan in Bhubaneswar.

1. Age Requirement

Most banks and financial institutions in Bhubaneswar require applicants to be between 21 and 60 years of age. This range ensures that the applicant has a stable income source and sufficient time to repay the loan.

2. Employment Status

Eligibility for personal loans often hinges on the applicant's employment status:

Salaried Individuals: You should be employed with a stable company or organization, preferably for at least 1-2 years. Lenders favor applicants with a steady job as it indicates reliable income.

Self-Employed Individuals: If you are self-employed, having a business that has been operational for a minimum of 2-3 years is typically required. Your business should also show a consistent profit to assure lenders of your repayment capability.

3. Income Criteria

The minimum income requirement can vary from lender to lender. For salaried employees, a minimum monthly income of ₹35,000 to ₹40,000 is generally expected. Self-employed individuals need to show a stable annual income, which is usually higher than the salaried threshold, to account for business fluctuations.

4. Credit Score

A good credit score is one of the most significant factors in determining eligibility. Most lenders in Bhubaneswar look for a credit score of 750 or above. A high credit score reflects your creditworthiness and history of timely repayments, increasing your chances of loan approval.

5. Work Experience

For salaried individuals, having a work experience of at least 1-2 years, with the current employer, is typically required. Self-employed individuals should have been in their current business for at least 2-3 years.

6. Debt-to-Income Ratio

Lenders assess your debt-to-income ratio to ensure you can manage additional loan payments. A lower ratio indicates that you have enough income to handle new debt comfortably. Generally, a ratio below 40% is preferred.

7. Documentation

The following documents are usually required to process a personal loan application:

Identity Proof: Aadhaar card, PAN card, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License.

Address Proof: Utility bills, rental agreement, Passport, or Aadhaar card.

Income Proof: Salary slips for the last 3-6 months, IT returns, and bank statements.

Employment Proof: Offer letter, employment certificate, or business proof for self-employed individuals.

8. Existing Liabilities

Lenders also consider your existing liabilities such as ongoing loans and credit card debt. High existing liabilities might impact your eligibility as they reduce your repayment capacity for new loans.

Tips to Enhance Eligibility

Maintain a Good Credit Score: Regularly monitor your credit report and work on improving your score by paying off debts on time.

Stable Employment: Avoid frequent job changes and aim to stay with your current employer for a longer period.

Reduce Existing Debts: Try to pay off existing loans and reduce credit card debt before applying for a new loan.

Proper Documentation: Ensure that all required documents are up-to-date and correctly submitted.

Conclusion

Understanding and meeting the eligibility criteria for personal loans in Bhubaneswar can significantly enhance your chances of approval. By maintaining a stable income, good credit score, and organized documentation, you can secure a personal loan that meets your financial needs. Always compare different lenders to find the best terms and conditions that suit your requirements.

look the post that tumblr ate basically boiled down to: we always talk about the exaggeratedly awful cartoon sexual dimorphism, like this:

and i always bring up the awful sexual dimorphism in world of warcraft when i bring up the many issues i have with that

but then theres also the more "subtle" kind in animated humans/human-adjacent creatures, like:

like the women look like children and the men look like adults. ALSO I HATE THE G1 MONSTER HIGH MEN THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THEYRE IN THEIR 40s PLEASE

and women always have to have huge eyes and round faces and tiny noses but men are more allowed to have varied face shapes and proportions, including much more realistic ones, and often smaller eyes than the typically huge ones the women have

BUT id argue its been getting better over time, for the most part. like, say what you want about wish and youd most likely be right, but the characters faces in that movie arent as deeply awfully different as the previous movies, like the king and queen here look fine.

you can say 'whyd you do the king and queen and not the main characters and their peers?" well, id say they look fine too, actually.

granted, the women still mostly arent able to have the varied faces of the men, and the men are allowed to have cartoonishly large noses while women cant, but at least aside from that they look like theyre from the same damn universe and species

and back to monster high, theres now g3 with the men and women looking more like this next to eachother:

yknow, actually looking similar in age and like theyre from the same art style.

they arent perfect yet but theyre way better than before

there is, of course, no hate from me to any of the people behind any of the media mentioned here, but its just something that bothered me while watching these slightly older things. the men look like men and the women looked like children.

even ignoring that part, they often didnt even look like they were from the same art style, or universe, and depending on the context, not even the same species.

like, either everyone has the more realistic-ish facial proportions, or everyone has the giant eyes and exaggerated features (whether they be exaggerated to be smaller or bigger). like literally just on an art level (from my perspective of course) its just stupid.

but obviously theres also real serious reasons why thats really dumb, like sexism and stuff, but i dont really need to talk about that because everyone else already has many times. the things said about the super exaggerated ones like the wolves still apply to the more subtle ones, so why repeat it lol

also i say subtle but obviously i chose pretty exaggerated examples for the older ones that fit the issue, it was just to get the point across. theres ones that arent as horridly noticable that still apply and bother me. like, i was originally comparing rapunzel and eugene instead of anna and kristoff. with those two you might not immediately think of it, but the more you look youre like... why does she look like her face never changed from when she was a literal infant...

also this obviously is mostly about main and prominent characters, and completely ignores things like the non-conventionally-attractive characters, but thats its own conversation

#my post #this isnt even an entirely serious post I JUST WANTED TO RANT ABOUT IT LOL LIKE.#why did tumblr eat the og posttt5 #the g1 monster high men HAUNT MY DREAMS #I know they improved later on (???) but the way they originally looked.... i hate them #ITS NOT JUST CLAWD ITS ALSO GILL AND DEUCE AND MANNY AND SLOMAN #heath and jackson and hyde are fine actually #like they still fit the issue at hand when compared to the women #but they actually look more like teenagers #long post

The market size in the AI market is projected to reach $184bn in 2024 - AI News

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-market-size-in-the-ai-market-is-projected-to-reach-184bn-in-2024-ai-news/

The market size in the AI market is projected to reach $184bn in 2024 - AI News

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

We can often get very excited about breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence and how there will be seismic changes in the way in which it shapes the future. However, as those interested in AI know, the technology is very much already embedded in so many of our day-to-day transactions that it is already transforming the ways in which we work, rest and play.

For decades, the media has jumped on the big tech stories, including human-like robots that will do all the basic household chores for us. As far back as 1966, we were introduced to Mabel The Robot Housemaid, who was going to be doing all the tasks by 1976. While that failed to be a reality, AI has seamlessly integrated itself into all our lives, and while there might not be any Mables, many of us have assistants called Alexa, Siri, and Cortana.

These robots may not be able to do the ironing for us, but they can be used to turn the lights on and off, program the oven, or control our heating systems when we are not around. Rather than take over all the physical work, they help us in the background and are integrated into our homes. According to today’s experts, by 2033, robots will be doing almost 40% of our housework. This seems somewhat similar to the 1966 claims, but this is backed up by data from Japan’s Ochanomizu and the UK’s University of Oxford. 65 AI experts were asked to predict what everyday tasks will become automated within the next five to ten years.

The study looked at the question “what kind of futures are imagined for unpaid work? If robots take our jobs, will they at least also take out the trash for us?” It is suggested that the time people spend doing housework will decrease by 46% in the next decade. However, the biggest task that is likely to become more automated is grocery shopping. The experts predict that by 2033 almost 60% of our grocery shop will be performed by AI. However, it is unlikely that machines will be trusted with caring responsibilities such as looking after the elderly or children. Even if AI had the technical ability to undertake these tasks, the studies experts believe there would be acceptability issues of delegating childcare to machines due to potential developmental impacts on the child and privacy implications.

So, if AI is not looking after our children or doing the ironing, what tasks is it doing? Given the market size, this sector is a massive part of the global economy. The most recent statistics predict it will be worth US$ 184.00bn in 2024. However, that is a small fry compared to forecasts for 2030. The market is expected to grow at almost 29% and will be worth a staggering US$826 billion by the end of the decade.

Here are some areas where AI plays an integral part in our lives, so much so that we almost forget how we functioned before.

We open our phones with face IDs. It is AI that enables this functionality. Using biometrics, the device can see you in 3D and capture images of your face using 30,000 invisible infrared dots. Then, using machine learning algorithms, it compares the scan of your face with what it has stored on file to determine if it is you or an intruder trying to access your phone. Apple claims that the chance of fooling its FaceID is one in a million

Once our phones are open, there are many places we might choose to go. Some people head off to check social media or catch up on the news. Other people use their phones for entertainment, like online games, or to visit an online casino. AI and algorithms are integral to the functioning of these sites, with AI involved in everything from customer services to verifying payments and paying out winnings. Players get a personalised experience as the AI learns which games they enjoy playing, which means players can choose from the newest games that are on offer. However, rather than trawling through all the latest releases, the system can learn from what they have played before and offer them something similar to play next.

AI also updates social media feeds. What a user sees is personalised because the algorithm has learned what posts you react to based on your history. It makes friend suggestions and news posts. The next step for AI is to recognise better and, filter out misinformation, and prevent cyberbullying. Getting rid of fake news is even more crucial as 2024 is a global year of general elections.

We use spell check and other tools like Grammarly when we write on our computers and phones, whether to send emails, messages, or reports. These help us create error-free messages by using natural language processing and suggestions. More AI is involved when we send and receive messages with spam filters, blocking some emails and sending them to our junk boxes. In addition, anti-virus software employs machine learning to protect our email accounts and computers.

While these examples all happen behind the scenes, one of the most notable changes in recent years is our use of digital voice assistants. Whether we want to get directions or find out what the weather will be like, Siri, Alexa, Google Home, and Cortana accompany us wherever we go. They have become indispensable for many people who use them as a co-pilot when driving and a general source of endless information around the home. These assistants use natural language processors and generators driven by AI to answer all the questions. They are increasingly programmed to give ‘human-like’ responses and can even sound offended at times.

Since 1966, we have dreamed of robots doing the housework, and while that is not a reality, our homes are becoming increasingly ‘smart’. We have thermostats that allow us to control the heating from our phones and fridges that can create shopping lists based on what is no longer in the refrigerator. They can also recommend what you might like to buy as an accompaniment based on what is in your fridge, such as wine or condiments.

There is still no sign of Mabel, but maybe she will put in an appearance one of these days.

Want to learn more about AI and big data from industry leaders? Check out AI & Big Data Expo taking place in Amsterdam, California, and London. The comprehensive event is co-located with other leading events including Intelligent Automation Conference, BlockX, Digital Transformation Week, and Cyber Security & Cloud Expo.
