#if they move it for 2026 Im ending it all

[fellatitledthemf]

2025 is close

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS

[transhoverfish]

OK SO IM LATE BUT. MORE SUB3 NEWS!!!

so a few days ago, krafton (their publisher), apparently had this like presentation of their plans over the next like 2 years. and during that they talked a bit about sub 3!

and this obviously creates a LOT of questions. not to worry, though, because unknown worlds added on to this:

im honestly not surprised by this. iirc, when below zero released they said it would be a WHILE before the next game, and they only announced this back in like... january? now, the first game's release was in january, and bz was in may, so it's definitely possible early access with be in spring of 2025. those games did not have multiplayer aspections tho! its possible we'll wait until mid 2025, and full release will likely not be until 2026. but who knows? the first game took like ten to be fully finished!!

and honestly. THANK GOD. i can't imagine any subnautica game having BATTLE PASSES or LOOT BOXES. i would have just straight up ignored this game 😭

i do wonder what these updates will entail! "many years to come" is definitely something interesting to me, because other than bug fixes... i dont remember sub or bz getting many updates post full release. is this referring to bug fixes, or is it implying that it will be in a state of early access for much longer? are they going to just keep adding new things (like the building update for sub1) and taking fandom suggestions? very interested!!

maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but i actually,,,, dont want multiplayer. now i do like bz, and these games arent really intended to be horror games, but also bz is very noticeablely less scary than sub1. and some of it i think definitely has to do with all the extra characters and dialogue. its hard to feel isolated when you know al-an and marg are nearby. so im very happy that it's optional, bc i know i will probably enjoy single player a lot more enjoyable!!

so now... SPECULATION.

so the first thing im curious about that the development team didnt mention:

"uncover the mysteries on an entirely new alien planet"

apprently we are NOT returning to 4546b. which im kind of sad about!! ik the story is very obviously done there, but it feels weird that its going to be some other planet this time around. THERE WONT BE PEEPERS!!!! (well there could be but it would be weird if some other random planet had the exact same lifeforms)

now my next immediate thought is: is this a direct continuation of below zero? my opinion is: no. probably not.

mostly because it mentions up to four players, and robin and alan are, if you look very closely, only two people. now they COULD just create two new characters to go alongside them (my fanfic brain loves the au idea of marg and ryley 🥺) but im just going to assume that with the addition of a new planet, we're going to drop the old storylines. which means no more degasi, sunbeam, aurora, or ayou sisters. we might move away from architects/precursors altogether! (my basis on this is absolutely nothing and i could be wrong, this is 100% just theorizing)

also, i imagine that it would be difficult to keep the plot the exact same with two established characters and then two new ones, depending on how this multiplayer aspect works. if its another crash, it would be a lot easier to just have the extra players die/survive, then try to work in a balancing act of one guy playing al-an.

(also i like keeping the ending of bz vauge. if they show up again, they would have to mention what happened to the rest of the architects, and i think it's much more fun if thats a mystery!)

((also also, im gonna drop a bomb on u all for a second. i actually,,, dont like al-an. i have a deeper connection to probably every single other character in bz. i think they really fumbled al's character and story and he is so incredibly bland to me. it feels like they go nowhere with how he was responsible for the kharra outbreak because the game ends immediately after he confesses! it would be nice to give him another chance, sure, but i personally dread the idea of even more al-an. sorry everyone for this horrible news))

HERE'S A CONCEPT IMAGE

i hope they bring back some cut content creatures for this!! i noticed this new area looks VERY similar to the safe shallows, and several of the fish seem to be variations of ones we've already seen (im already seeing bladderfish and hoopfish color pallettes, and the shark resmbles some early concept art for the shadow leviathan, but with the ice worm's colors...)

will there be more land areas?? is it going to entirely underwater?? more kharra?? NO DISEASE AT ALL?? AAAAAA!!!!

[annatorvswife]

this week i learned that my foster care project could be coming to an end next year or early 2026 and im like. how do you prepare for your life to drastically change like that... a kid you've raised and loved will move in with one of their biological parents again and i mean that IS the end goal and it's a win for sure but man it's so weird to think about!!! i'll be left with the cats and guinea pigs and suddenly have all this free time... i dont even remember how i used to live before she entered my life in 2022... insane things

Hamilton to Ferrari and Charles Leclerc

I promised a post with my opinion on this move (specifically how it affects Charles) and honestly I'm still undecided but I thought it's best to sit down and put my thoughts in written form and maybe post later as well.

First of all, what my problem with Lewis moving to Ferrari was. Ferrari had gotten my hopes up in the few weeks prior to the announment in the sense that they want to focus on Charles and that they will give Charles the treatment he deserves. The news of the move shattered all that to pieces in my eyes. To me all it meant was that they are not planning to win the championship with Charles. They are again not giving him the support and trust he deserves. And that hurt.

If you read my thoughts when Charles signed the contract I kept saying one thing: this announcement has changed nothing for me. Ferrari has to prove to me that they are serious about Charles and that Charles' role in the team is the role they claim to have given him: a leader. There are 3 things that (to me) would make me happy about the contract extension and I will now look into each of them separately and how they relate to Lewis joining under the cut.

1. They have to give him a competitive car suited to HIM, not his teammate. ���️

This is still possible. Charles is the undisputed leader of ferraris car development for 2024. That is more than clear now. 2024 (and probably 2025) cars will be done with charles' feedback.

However, 2024 and 2025 do not matter from a championship perspective. They are still Red Bulls year. And I find it highly unlikely that any team would be able to come close enough in these regulations to even fight for a championship with red bull. The year that matters from a championship perspective is 2026. The car that will be built in 2025 aka the year Lewis is joining. I'm not saying Lewis will automatically take over everything (charles IS ferrari after all) but it's also safe to say that having a 7 time champion with the rank and reputation of Lewis Hamilton would sway the cards to a more equal playing field. And this would happen for the car that matters. But Lewis is a great driver who can drive any car as long as its fast (unlike some people iykwim). So is Charlrs. So this is not a huge concern in terms of them having to slow down the car like they did in 2022. Check

2. He has to have a teammate that will not sabotage him ✔️

Listen im not saying Carlos ever sabotaged Charles but im also not NOT saying that. The impeding (frankly he does that to everyone), the preferable strategies, the purposefully trying to prove he's better (he's not), the whining on the radio, Silverstone, Singapore, refusing to help at any given moment. You get it.

I do not see Lewis (yes I know I called him half of brocedes just yesterday but I was in shock ok? Look away) doing any sort of thing like that to charles. Mostly because Lewis has nothing to prove.

Am I sad and dissapointed that once again Charles has to fight tooth and nail to get that n1 driver position? Yes. Would I have preferred Ferrari to give him a teammate aware of his role (the role being fighting for Charles)? Yes. Do I think Charles can beat 41yo Lewis? Yes I genuinely think he can. I still wouldve liked it if he had it a little bit easier for once in his life but we work with what we can get.

What will happen in 2026 if they are somehow competitive and the team has to choose who to help with the wdc fight? They will probably choose Lewis. Unless Charles is far ahead in points. I am still pissed that they made him have it so difficult and in the end he still might end up having to help someone else get a wdc. I will never not be bitter about this. But I'll move on cos I am not a bitter person (she said lying like a liar).

All in all anything is better than what he had the last 2 years (and probably this year) so I gave it a check just for the fact that it's not Carlos.

3. Ferrari has to want to do it with him, not anyone else. ???

This one im not so sure about folks. If this was true they would not sign the biggest name in the sport who is chasing a record breaking title. They simply wouldn't. A team that believes in you believes in you. They do not bring you competition. They bring you help. Like Christian brought Max help. Like Toto Wolff chased Lewis' help away in 2021 which ultimately led to Lewis losing (yes I do think he would've won 21 if Toto had not chased Bottas away when Lewis needed him most)

That leads me to my final point (more like a question): Why did Charles sign The deal if he didnt feel like Ferrari wants to win with him? I dont think he would do that. What if Lewis IS the help Fred is bringing Charles? I personally would love to see Charles and Lewis bringing Ferrari back to its glory days together. Lewis by bringing in the team and reputation, Charles by being a generation talent, Il predestinato my beloved. Either Ferrari lied to us (and Charles) or Fred is COOKING!!! Honestly now that we're in this, it all comes down to: I'm just waiting and seeing what will happen and I trust Charles immensely which means I also trust him to leave if he doesn't feel like his dream is being taken care of. That is it.

[sports-and-fandoms]

For the people saying this is Lewis’ last hurrah before retiring: stop, get some help.

He was almost 2nd in the WDC last season (screw you, merc). Mercedes has been nothing but two-faced for the last 2 seasons.

Let’s recap:

- They missed lewis’ podium celebrations

- they constantly undermined him

- they put George Russell first in strategy

- let George get away with ramming into his teammate

- gave him shit pit stops (1 time is a mistake, 2 times is a growing concern, 3 times is a problem, but doing it all of last season screams conspiracy esp when George’s pits were pretty much always better)

- screwed him with the DSQ bs

- didnt fight hard enough for him in 2021

- shit strategy after shit strategy

i could keep going, but i’ll end with this last one

- they stopped fighting for him and fighting to strive for greatness (said 1 point for FL wasn’t important)

So, no. Im not surprised he left. Im assuming the W15 is also shit so that was probably the last straw.

Now, why ferrari?

Not bc he’s retiring soon, but bc he’s taking a calculated risk with the up coming regulation changes in 2026. If he moves to ferrari in 2025, he’ll have a year to fix ferrari’s strategy issues and what not and give them the required feedback to fix the car.

Besides, he knows and likes Fred. Fred believed in him and helped shape him into the absolute GOAT he is.

tuesday 3 september 2024 // 8:25pm

i had my first universal credit appointment today which was alright but i am starting to feel an insurmountable pressure to find a job and get things sorted

i'm playing out multiple scenarios in my head where i am going to lose my friends in sheffield or something silly and that people will forget about me because i'm not there any more and that i'm going to end up with no friends and alone lol

i feel a little lonely right now! as nice as it is being home and not doing much, i just don't have much money to be able to do things i wanna do and i don't even know where to start with socialising

i have said it before and i will say it again - what is a few months of laying low a bit and grafting in comparison to the rest of your life? you are only 26 years old and you are completely allowed to start again!!! people do this at OLDER ages which is also completely fine but you are still so so young

imagine a super quick rundown

2025 - get qualified and start first line

2026 - 2nd line

2027 - progress! new (higher) role! probably a nice 30/40k salary by this point and it will only get better. i will only be like 29 by this point which is still NOTHING! (ish)

also i am being silly - i do have so many friends and they are not going to forget about me lol. im literally going to see some of them this weekend! and its not like i've ever forgotten about people when they have moved away - people don't forget about you like that and you don't forget about people

gaurav - why do you insist on putting so much pressure on yourself? please, stop trying to have everything all worked out at once. you are allowed to take your time, especially while not much is happening. no matter what other people say

if this were someone else in my position, what would i tell them?

i would tell them to really cherish this time. to find the things you want to do and do them. to start those hobbies you never got to start. i'd say 'hey if this were me, i'd for example really want to start working on my fitness again, or writing some music!'

this is me now, i am in this position!

once again, i must remind myself i am really privileged to be in a place such as this. yes i may not have much money at all but i can rest, i have people to get me food if they need, i have the basic necessities and i have the freedom to do what i want in this time (within reason)

you will find a job and something to tide you over. you will work it out for sure

lets not be too lazy - lets fix the sleeping pattern

and lets work out! go on a run tomorrow (just a small one!) and lift some weights

[roguestarsailor]

so i was planning the NYC trip with my friends tonight and...i am actually quite excited to go now! i forgot what a real true city is like and it screams opportunity and fun everywhere! i think maybe that's where i need to be?

i was thinking i'd move over there in 2026 but i realize i'll be 30 and i dont know how to exist in a space with such young energy. how will i make friends? how do i find people my age? who would i even be by 30? i dont think i'll be too different when im that age but it does overwhelm me. its more new experiences and i dont know how many of those i can take solo. will i have a boyfriend by then? will i be close to marriage age? or will i just stay single and continue to do so? my career? i was looking up on linkedin of potentially roles i can apply to and i hate all of them! i dont even know what to do to get those higher paying roles. i dont have anyone to talk to. it was so much easier as a student because everyone was just higher level than me and i had role models to base my career off; now im on my own and i dont know where to even go to ask??

NYC, mixed with my anxieties of not finding a roommate and this city not being the city i had hope it to be, and not feeling like i fit in here is making me fantasize and wonder again. this place also does an AMAZING job making sure you can't live here unless you make at least $1 million dollar salary. NYC is also expensive yet somehow still livable? still full of those who hustle and bustle??

i do feel my age tho. i am ready for stability; i want to just...settle down and find a home and spend time in it. maybe its this roommate/living situation limbo that im in, but its exhausting. begging someone to come live with me? spamming the digital spaces to hope that that ONE person is willing to live temporarily with me? even if i got a roommate, its constantly reacting to the whims of other people who have such different goals? i cannot do this anymore... and also just the fact that i don't make enough to get my own place for a decent price! heartbreaking and it's just constantly thinking about money and what is worth the price. my time is also precious and im stretching it every single day.

maybe i should have tried to find a husband. i am dumb for wanting an independent life. its soo hard and im soooo tired. i'm tired to my bones. dual income would be soo fucken nice.

anyways, maybe it's just my anxieties these days. i even made the calculations for the anticipated costs and im so broke. i cannot afford a home at this rate. i literally need a new job and one that will pay even higher for me to be back on track again and on top of that finding a place to live that ensures my living expenses are low enough to achieve my long term goals. maybe a child is truly out of reach and i just have to be satisfied being on my own? just helping myself survive in cities and afford more high end apartments and have nice furniture? i think thats the goal now.

The Tragedy 

Jamya O.

School had just finished and summer had just begun and I had just been released from school. Hi, my name is Julia. I'm a junior and I attend west south high school. I'm 17. I am very friendly and I love talking to new people. My parents are going out of town for 3-4 weeks for a vacation or what not so that means they are leaving the house to me. That's a lot of trust for a 17-year-old but sure they have no reason not to trust me “hehe.”

I'm not sure why they decided to leave the house to me in this terrible neighborhood but hey i'll survive right? What could go wrong? I have a younger brother whose name is Juan. He is 15 he doesn't really like people we are the complete opposite of eachother. Before my parents left they left us money, of course the chores and food and just some extra things they thought we might need. They told us to call every day after we woke up and before we went to sleep. The first day of them being gone me and Juan literally had nothing to do. It was June 6th of 2026. We stayed home the first day alone. It was so hot. There wasn't really much to do because we hadn't planned anything. But the next day Juan asked to go to this carnival. At first I was unsure because it’s a big area a few blocks down from our house on booker street and it’s just us but I ended up agreeing to it. The next day we went to the carnival. It was very fun. They had this slingshot that people were scared to get on. I ended up getting caught in the moment and started staring into space looking at how happy all the kids were running around with face paint on their faces and cotton candy in their hands with the sun shining and all the smiles and laughs and soft voices. I started missing being a child not battling my thoughts and wanting to hurt myself but enough of that. Juan was excited and kept wandering off to get on every ride that he could. I needed to use the restroom but I did not want him standing there waiting for me so I told him to wait at the ride we were at until I finished. It didn't take very long for me to use the restroom but it was very crowded and the smell wasn't pleasant which made me move faster… 

When I got from the restroom I immediately tried to spot Juan but I couldn't find him so I looked around a bit before I started to panic. I found him waiting to get on the slingshot. No one wanted to go with him  so I was convinced to go when I sat down and my heart started racing. After the staff member buckled my seat belt I knew there was no going back. He did a countdown 1…2…3. We shot in the air with no questions asked. I was literally gasping for air about to die, at that moment I thought we were finished. It went back up and went upside down and made me scared for my life. After that was done it began getting late we walked about home. After today we challenged ourselves to stay home for a week for quality time since im always busy with school and my job. We made sure we had everything. The only reason to go outside was for mail and emptying the trash. As the week went by everything was fine and it was almost over. Me and Juan played board games, roblox and watched movies together but the night before the week was over Juan said, “Hey Sis, there is this new place opening up called Rilo’s Robots can we visit?” 

Of course I couldn't say no so I agreed. Nowadays robots are really popular. People are spending thousands of bucks on them and making them household items. They even have one that cooks and clean, just imagine how long it took to actually get it functioning. The day had come and I myself was excited and so was Juan. As we entered there were many people and I couldn't wait. 

As the man came onto the mic he said, “Hello everyone thank you all for showing up and being supportive to the opening of my business. I have worked really hard and I hope you all enjoy it.” Everyone claps their hands. There were about 25 of the same robots who people could use and test out. I'm not sure what happened but about 30 minutes in of everyone exploring the light suddenly shut off. Juan got scared and gripped onto my arm. I tried my hardest to comfort him but I was scared as well. The owner came onto the mic again and said, “Sorry for the malfunction, our robots actually control the building as well.” Everyone gasped including me. He then said, “Please be patient while we try to fix this problem everyone who is touching a robot please remove your hands.” Everyone started to get scared then we all heard the owner shout, “OH GOD NO PLEASE!” Everyone began to get really concerned and scared. Rilo the owner then tried to call 911 but the master robot that was being displayed laser burned his phone. The lights came back on but the doors seemingly got shut completely and could only be disabled by the master robot everyone was calling someone for help. 

I tried calling mom and dad but it went to voicemail. In my head I said to myself, “This was dumb why’d I agree to this, why would he even have the building under the robots control endangering all of us?” About 15 minutes later the police were finally able to get it open but as everyone was running out they started grabbing people for statements on what happened. They almost grabbed Juan but I pulled him before they could. The robots were behind us and started multiplying themselves which seemed to almost sound impossible but I saw it. Me and Juan hurried and ran home closed and locked all windows and door also the curtains we turned on the news to see what was going on the outside world got damaged so fast it looked completely different then before when we were outside people were banging on our door for help and shelter but Juan and I were to scared knowing that the robot was behind them the police had no control and everyone was tweeting how they were gonna sue Rilo for endangering everyone and their children. The news reporter was dumb enough to go outside to do daily news and she got killed on the scene everyone was  terrified, me and Juan looking out the window nothing looked the same compared to how it looked 4 hours ago everything was damaged and it was getting dark and me and Juan was safe so that’s all that mattered we survived.

The Freedom of Expression Ep 16 - UFO expert's recommendation as the Japan Air Self Defense Force sets up Space Operations Squadron.

K: Hi, this is Dir en grey's Kaoru, starting this week's installment of The Freedom of Expression. Joe san, Tasai san, welcome.

J: You looked at us the opposite way then.

K: I did (laughs)

J: I don't mind though.

K: Hahaha.

J: Im sorry to be so pedantic.

K: No, i thought the same myself.

J: I just wondered whether you'd forgotten our names, or whether you were a bit tired.

T: He's probably tired.

J: I was a bit concerned *laughs*

K: You got me.

J: I just noticed it, so..

K: How have you been recently?

J: Well, how? hmm, well..

K: Its still around the middle of April now, as we record this, right? The shops are starting to open again. We are still in...what was it, a state  of emergency..

J: It hasn't been lifted in Tokyo.

K: But the stores are slowly starting to operate again if you look around. Ramen places are really busy and such. But, how has it been for you guys?

J: Well, ive been cooking for myself as much as possible. Buying stuff from the grocers, and making salad and stuff every day. I don't have a frying pan though.

T: You don't have a frying pan??

J: No.

K: Do you have a microwave?

J: I do have a microwave. But a frying pan...well, recently, i bought some eggs, and tried to make fried eggs, but i had to cook them in a steel pan.*T laughing a lot* And when I tried to scrape them out, the yolk got destroyed. *K laughs* It was chaos.

T: How have you survived this far in life?

J: No, I mean I usually eat out, so this is a first for me at 52 years old, this self catering lifestyle.

T: I have a special pan for cooking eggs, its designed especially for eggs (tamagoyaki).

J: Really?

K: Oh, that square type?

T: Yeah, yeah.

K: Ehh!

J: Really?

T: I keep it really clean, and make sure I don't use it for anything other than eggs.

K: Oh, so do you cook a lot?

T: I do, yeah.

J: Kaoru, can you cook?

K: Do I look like I can? *laughs*

J: You don't, you don't. *everyone laughs loudly* You don't at all, sorry.

K: I can manage fried vegetables and stuff like that.

J: Oh, well, you are probably better than me then.

K: But honestly, I havn't cooked anything in years.

T: *To J* If you say he's better than you, that puts you at a super low level! *K laughs*

J: Well, now you mention it, maybe we are about the same level.

K: A long time ago, when I first came to Tokyo, I made curry once.

J, T: Oohh?!

K: Yeah..And with curry, if you let it sit for one night, its supposed to taste better the next day.

J: Yeah, the flavour deepens.

K: When I checked on it the next day, it had grown mould. *the others laugh a lot*

T: How?

K: I don't know.

J: What did you put in it?

K: Just the normal stuff...curry cubes and stuff.

T: It grew mould after a day...?

K: It did, yeah.

J: Ehhh? By the way, did you eat any of it on the day you made it?

K: No, because I thought it would taste better after leaving it for a day. Also, it was actually kind of watery. Maybe I got the measurements wrong. So I thought if I leave it for a day, it would thicken up, but it grew mould.

J: *laughing* Wow. If you cooked it properly, it wouldn't grow mould unless there was something wrong with it though, would it?

T: Yeah, exactly.

J: Thats incredible.

T: Yeah, were you living somewhere funny?

K: Haha, the place?

J: Lets do this sometime. Lets have a curry party with Kaoru making the curry. 

T: Oh, yeah.

K: Um, in my blog magazine TheTheDay, I appealed for ideas of what people want me to do, and people said they want me to cook.

J, T: Ehhh.

J: Will you do it? Get your revenge?

K: Revenge? *laughs*

J: Curry revenge. We'd have to have a doctor on stand-by though. *K laughs* We'd end up with curry poisoning. Everyone who ate it would collapse one by one.

K: It would be dangerous.

J: It would, it would.

K: Okay, so today...Tasai san.

T: Yes, so..uh..finally we've reached this era! Finally!

J: What is it? What happened?

T: Well, uh, on May 18th, for the first time, the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) started a specialist division to monitor regions in space, the Space Operations Squadron.

J: At last!

T: Its like Space Battleship Yamato, its as if that kind of old sci-fi is finally becoming real in this current Reiwa era. Well, actually, its not really like Yamato. What they are really doing is keeping an eye on space junk, and watching for any suspicious looking man-made satellites. To begin with they will ????*1, and by 2026, they say they want to put thier own satellites into orbit too. Its true that America, Russia, and China are leaders in this field, but its like Japan has also started to think about self defence in terms of space too.

J: I see. This is quite serious news then, isn't it.

T: Well, Tokyo sports always has a different take.

J, K: *laugh*

J: Of course.

T: So, in response to the inauguration of this devision, a UFO expert had one thing he wanted to say, which was...well, there is the 'scramble', yes? A kind of emergency take-off, if for example, missles are heading towards domestic land, or if mysterious sightings*2 happen, there is stuff like this. And in 2018, the JASDF actually had 999 scrambles, where they saw something they thought was dangerous, and had to take off immediately. So, of those, 638 cases involved Chinese vessels, 340 cases involved Russian, and 18 cases were classed as 'other'. This UFO expert thinks these might be UFOs, so with the creation of this new devision, he says they could check to see if they actually are UFOs.

J: By the way, what is the Japanese government's stance on the existence of UFOs? It seems like America already thinks they exist, and are taking some action, right?

K: There is a lot of???*4

J: Yeh, on the news. I havn't watched it properly, but what do they think again?

T: ????

K:????

J????*5

T: The Japanese government hasn't clearly confimed whether or not they think UFOs are real or not.

J: Hmm, Kaoru what do you think? Do UFOs exist or don't they?

K: Well, I want them to exist. I like reading about them.

J: Well, its fun isn't it?

T: While I've been working at Tokyo Sports, we've had quite a few reports on photos people have taken of UFOs. Um, you know Hyper media creator Takashiro Tsuyoshi..?

J: Ahh, Takashiro san.

T: When he reported...where was it Australia, Byron Bay..or something. He went there for a festival, and he showed me a photo of a UFO that he took while he was there. And there really was a kind of triangle shaped UFO looking thing on it. And when he showed it to an expert, they said after about 2 seconds, 'Ah, yes, this is a UFO', without even checking properly. *the others laugh*.

J: You'd want them to analyze it a bit more

K: It seems too easy, right? Like, ah, yeh yeh.

T: Yeh, thats a UFO..

J: Saying its a UFO that quickly...

T: According to this expert, if you see a UFO, a big change will happen in your life....and then straight after that he ????*6 and stuff like that happened...Also, the former actress, who turned to that religious cult..

J: Oh, the Happy Science cult.

T: Yeh, Sengen Yoshiko. She captured footage of a UFO in Toyama, and showed it to me, so I kind of think they are real.

J: Have either of you ever seen a UFO yourselves?

K: I've seen things where I've thought, what is that?!. Like...*imitates zig zag movement in the sky*

T: There is something isn't there.

J: There are things that move like that, aren't there. They are different from shooting stars, and airplanes couldn't move in that way. I've wondered what they are.

K: And when you try to catch it on your smartphone or something, you can't, can you?

T: I just remembered! I did catch a UFO on my smartphone. I went to Mexico once to do a story.

K: Didn't you mention that before?

T: Oh, maybe I did, on the radio. Well, when i was in Mexico, what is it..when the sun takes a long time..

J: The summer solstice?

T: Yeh, on that day, we climed to the top of a big rock, and held hands with all the local people. At that time we took loads of photos of the sky, and when we checked later, they showed a UFO.

J,K: Ehh?

T: Yeh, and I don't know the first thing about it. Im in the club of people who've photographed a UFO.

J: A UFO was close to you....Isn't this the right time for him to come out? That guy?

Kami:.....

K: He's not coming.

Kami: Um..

J: He's here, he's here.

Kami: We're talking about UFOs right? When I saw that the JASDF had started a space army, I was excited. And when I wondered what they would get up to, it said they would be picking up space junk..

T: *laughs*

Kami: Its like when we lost at the world cup, and picked up all the garbage, then went home. So I was a bit shocked at what was written.

K: But thats just the starting point, right?

T: Yeah, starting with the little things, moving steadily.

J: But, hey, while they say that, they might be carrying out some bigger project behind the scenes.

K: Well, yeah.

T: Thats right.

J: Kami, what do you think about UFOs?

Kami: I've never seen one.

J: Oh, you havn't?

K: But from your perspective, do UFOs exist?

Kami: Do they exist?...Im not sure.

K:.*laughs*

J: He's not very articulate, is he? This is different from when he was talking about mahjong!

K: *laughs*

J: He never stopped when he was talking about mahjong. Losing 30,000 and such. Coming into Tasai san's conversation that much..He's changed completey since last time. A poor response, Kami. Hey, but what is it?...Can't gods transcend space-time?

Kami: Im not sure.

J: Wait, you're not sure?

Kami: Space-time? Well, I can't talk about it, cause I'll get into trouble if I do.

J: Ah, if you tell us?

K: *laughs*

T: Is this a new organisation?

K: An organisation, right?

J: Gods have them too.

K: They probably have unions, right?

Kami: Yes, yes. *K laughs*

T: Someone more powerful than Kami will be onto him.

K: Yeah, he'll be stopped.

Kami: But the gods know this, theres nothing faster than light, right?

J, T: Ahh

Kami: Did you know that?

J: Yes, I did.

Kami: Yeah, thats it. Theres nothing faster than light, yeh. Thats the thing. Do you know who decided that? It was a god.

J: Ohh.

T, K: Eh?

Kami: Not me, one of my distant relatives.

J: Distant relatives? *laughs* One of the gods in the group?

K: It wasn't himself, but..

Kami: Yes, thats it.

J: Hang on, wait a minute, so in terms of what we are talking about, Kami, what did YOU create? Gods make many different things I think.

Kami: I make parts in a factory.  *J, K laugh*.

T: What? The old guy in a backstreet workshop?

K: *laughs* He's the type who can descend to earth very easily, right?

J: He really is one of the commoners.*laughs* Its funny.

Kami: Its because Im an ally of the common people.

K: Well, yeh, it seems like he often goes to Chinese restaurants..

J: Right.

T: And he likes Mahjong

K: Yeh, he likes Mahjong.

J: He's kinda just like my Dad.

K: *laughs*

J: Ah, but UFOs, right?

K: It would be good if they develop this.

T: There might be things like space wars in the future, in reality. With America and such. If they are competing for supremacy in space.

K: Ah, yeh, fighting for supremacy.

T: Right?

J: But Japan is a little late getting started, in relation to that.

K: Oh yeh, its impossible.

J: Right? We wouldn't ever take supremacy.

T: Well Japan can already be seen from anywhere by spy satellites, they'd get all our info.

J: Well, thats it. That kind of thing is going on at the same time.

K: Well, thats just how it is.

J: Thats how it is, right?

T: Thanks for listening.

J: This was a spaced themed chat.

K: Please look forward to next week, thank you very much. Please subscribe.

J,T, Kami: Please do.

masterlist | annalise’s playlist

2026.

"Sometimes I think about the what ifs,"  Ann said, “but I like where I am. I like what I’ve made for myself.”

Shawn had to invite her over to his house a second time, because the first time left him with many questions unanswered. He couldn’t be mad at what she said, though. He was in the same boat; he liked the life he made. You know, without the crushing loss and run in with the supernatural.

“Well, I’m happy for you,” he told her, and he really meant it. “I’m glad we were able to successfully do our own things straight after breaking up.”

“Nothing like filling the void in your heart with work!” Ann replied with a giggle. She moved a strand of hair behind her ear, and that’s when Shawn noticed something.

He took her hand and noticed a tattoo on the side of her middle finger: The Triforce.

“You got inked?” he asked, impressed.

“Oh, that’s nothing,” she replied, grabbing her sleeve to roll it up.

There was a sword on her inner arm. It was varying in shades of blue, and it also had the Triforce on it. Shawn recognized it as the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda games.

“All this is is proof that I’m a nerd,” Ann said as she rolled her sleeve back down. “I notice you have some more ink also… and that you still wear shirts half buttoned.” She pointed to his chest.

Her finger poked the exposed skin. It shouldn’t have been as tingly as it was. Shawn smiled and placed his hand over his chest.

“More than just that,” he told her. “But I can’t show you all of them.”

Maybe it was a little risky to say that. Shawn would have taken it back if Ann’s cheeks hadn’t gone a shade of pink.

“I could say the same thing…”

Shawn quickly came to learn just how many tattoos Ann had gotten over the years. A snake and tombstones on her other arm. Feather on her collarbone, roses on her shoulder. A quote reading, “...but I’m not anymore” with stars around it on her ribcage. Something on her wrist that Shawn didn’t catch because he was busy pressing his lips to her hips and taking off her pants, where he found another tattoo. “Lucky you.” He certainly felt it.

Everything about their time together was so familiar, so easy and almost home-like. Ann’s skin touching his. Her lips perfectly molding over his. The quiet, needy gasps they both released into the bedroom. It was like going back in time, and they were in Shawn’s Toronto apartment instead of his multimillion dollar condo in LA. It was soft and slow, despite Shawn pinning Ann’s arms above her head. He didn’t outgrow that particular move, and she still seemed to like it.

Shawn had never been happier to have been on a break more than now. Most one night stands in the past began and ended very quickly, because he was on tour or in between interviews or on a break for one day. This was one person that he didn’t want to leave behind. They lied down, sweaty and dazed, facing each other. It was silent, but not awkward. Everything had a nice haze around it.

That was also when Shawn finally made out what the tattoo on Ann’s wrist was. He picked his head up in confusion.

“Is… are those torches?” he asked. “Upside down? Just like mine… and are those my initials?”

It was simple line art, less intricate than his own. Torches in an X, with “SM” right below them. Shawn has been floored many times, and this was no exception.

Ann picked her head up as well. “It’s not what it looks like.”

Shawn looked down at his chest, his torches were exactly the same, sans the initials. He wanted to give Ann the benefit of the doubt, that this wasn’t some creepy fangirl thing. Some of his one night stands ended up like that, and it wasn’t exactly easy to forget.

“It’s for a friend of mine,” Ann explained, sitting up and covering her front with the blanket. She took note of the look on Shawn’s face. “Keeping someone’s light on beyond death, remember? I assume yours is for someone too.”

They were both sitting up now, and Shawn relaxed. However, he only relaxed a little bit because now it was time to get deep.

“Mine’s for Brian. He died last year.”

Ann’s face fell. “No. Brian, your best friend? Brian, the one who constantly took the piss outta me?”

He nodded. “He was… there was an accident. Flight of stairs. Instantly killed.” It was all lies, but no human would understand.

A hand went over his, squeezing. “I’m so sorry. He just, he just fell down some stairs?”

“A lot of stairs. I don’t know I guess he was running or something. There was no way to save him. People in the house heard the crash, but by the time they found him - when I found him - it was too late.” He had told this version many times, enough times to where he could almost believe it himself.

“Fuck, man. That’s… that’s fucking terrible,” Ann said sympathetically. “But I seriously can’t believe you just told me that.”

“Why?”

“Because now I have to tell you that mine is for Stella. Those are her initials.”

Stella Martinez. Now Shawn felt a little stupid… but surprised, and he was met with a sinking feeling in his stomach. He couldn’t believe it for a second, but it fully processed in his head, and his heart began to break.

“Stella from college? Stella, who was your literal opposite and also your best friend?”

Ann solemnly nodded. Then she looked down. “She… she killed herself.”

Shawn was stunned into silence, the tightness in his chest only intensifying. The entire time he knew Stella, she was always so positive and bubbly. She was the opposite of suicidal. That’s why it was such a shock… and so sad. Oh god, who was going to tell Camila?

“When did Brian go to the other side?” Ann asked after a moment.

“A year ago last month,” Shawn replied. “And Stella?”

Ann raised an eyebrow. “Two years ago last month...”

It was a strange coincidence, but still upsetting. Both Shawn and Ann lost their best friends at the same time of the year. The urge to spill everything was thick in the air. Still, neither of them said anything for a while.

Instead, Ann reached down to the floor to pick up her clothes. Shawn’s eyes were stuck on her and that was when he spotted another word on her back. Nightmare. Small font, right shoulder blade, surrounded by a cluster of skulls. Then, he realized what she was doing.

“Are you leaving?”

She looked up, bra in hand. She was quiet as she put it back on.

“No. No, I’m not going anywhere.”

And she crawled back into bed. She made the point to keep a distance from Shawn, who was still naked. He was on his side, looking at the woman before him. Only Ann could have sex with him and bring up the subject of death. That brought a new point to mind.

“How do you enjoy death?” he asked. “I think I’ve asked you this before, but after losing someone and attending their funeral, I’m having a hard time understanding your perspective.”

Ann took a deep breath, looking up at the ceiling. “I don’t enjoy the act of dying. People die every day in horrible ways. People mourn and fall into depression because of death. That’s not something to enjoy.”

“So what’s your deal with it?”

“I’m just embracing the face that it’s inevitable. I do that for myself. I will die eventually, or tomorrow-”

Shawn made a face; he didn’t like that thought.

“It doesn’t make it any easier when someone I know goes,” Ann continued. “You’d think with all the research I’ve done it would be. The ones we love leave this mortal plane, and all they leave is their absence. And that alone is a lot to process.”

“What’s the hardest part?”

“The what if’s.”

Shawn asked because he really wanted to know more about what happened to Stella. He had to know the things that led up to the tragedy, mostly because he knew Camila would ask for details, even if they were hard to hear.

He figured he should spill his side first.

“The last thing I said to Brian was to get the hell out of my room,” he began. “We were fighting, fighting over something so fucking stupid, and I was so pissed at him. That was our last interaction. He fell down the stairs because he was trying to find me in this big huge mansion…”

Ann sat up a little bit, hand over her chest. “Here?”

“Oh no, not here. I was staying at a friend’s house in London for a work thing. Place was huge, easy to get lost in,” Shawn clarified. “Brian, Andrew, all of them were leaving back to Toronto and I didn’t want to go just yet. Part of it was because I was still pissed. Maybe if I had run into him first before he fell… If I hadn’t kicked him out of my room a few nights prior… If I was less of an asshole…”

“Maybe you would have slipped on the stairs,” Ann told him. “Maybe you guys would have had an even bigger argument later that would have ended your friendship. There’s no way to tell, and sometimes that’s what sucks the most.”

Huh. Most people tell him not to dwell on it. No wonder Ann was a shrink now.

“Losing someone is one of the hardest things we, as humans, have to face,” she said. “It’s not easy in the slightest. Besides, the grieving period takes about three to five years, so you - we - are still in the beginning stages of it. Thinking about the what ifs, what you want to change, what you wish you could say to Brian - all of that is normal.”

The two of them let those words settle for a moment. Shawn’s eyes were a little misty, and redirecting the topic was probably not going to help. But he laid his stuff out on the table.

“What about you?” he asked.

“Me?”

“Your what ifs?”

Ann paused, looking around the room. “What if I had put my Master’s to use and noticed the goddamn signs?”

Shawn watched her, hoping she would at least return the eye contact.

“I’m an expert in this shit,” she said. “I have the years of school, the degrees, and the licenses for detecting things like this. I only figured it out the moment her dad called me.”

“How do you detect when someone is suicidal?”

“In her case, she was elated. When someone makes that decision, they reach a state of euphoria because they know their pain is about to end.”

“But Stella was always-”

“Believe me, I know. I hadn’t talked to her since graduating in Toronto, so I thought she hadn’t changed at all. But I would see on her social media, she just moved back to her parents’ house in Florida, and she hinted that she wasn’t happy about it.”

As if Shawn couldn’t take another blow. Come to think of it, he never heard much about Stella’s home life. He didn’t even think that it could be a negative place for her.

“I was in Jacksonville for work,” Ann continued, “so I hit her up, and we met up for lunch. We talked for about an hour, and she said that I was always a good friend and college wife and that she’ll always love me. And my stone hearted ass just said ‘cool, you don’t suck’ and that was that. A month later, she’s as blue as the pills she took.”

“Ooo…” Shawn sighed, cringing at that mental image. Sweet, warm hearted Stella cold and lifeless. Call it morbid, awful thinking, but Shawn wished Brian looked like that in death instead of the bloody mess he turned out to be.

“Yeah. And her parents had her embalmed and put in an airtight casket, but that’s a whole other rant.” Ann waved it off and lied back down.

Shawn didn’t know what else to do except lie down as well. While sharing the stories of how their friends died, he couldn’t help but feel just a little bit closer to Ann. The first time they met, it took fighting tooth and nail to get her to open up. Now, Shawn felt okay silently reached for her hand, and tenderly holding it in his.

Both of them winded up at the same awards show. Both lost their best friends. Both got the same type of tattoo to honor them. Neither of them anticipated meeting again. This couldn’t be a coincidence.

Alle Moves und Contracts in der Übersicht

Die San Francisco 49ers waren aktiv in der Free Agency und haben vor allem eigene Free Agents zum Team zurückgebracht. Dazu verstärkte man sich punktuell über die Free Agency. Im Draft wählt man nach einem Uptrade mit dem 3rd Overall Pick Quarterback Trey Lance. Nun geht es mit dem Offseason Programm in der kommenden Woche los in Richtung der Saison 2021. 

Überblick über die Moves in der Offseason

Nach Abschluss der Saison 2020 gingen die San Francisco 49ers mit zahlreichen Baustellen in Richtung Free Agency und Draft. Das Front Office konnte mit zahlreichen eigenen und wichtigen Free Agents Verträge für die Zukunft aushandeln. Unter anderem sorgte man mit dem Monster-Vertrag für Left Tackle Trent Williams für Aufsehen. Dazu fädelte man mit den Miami Dolphins einen Uptrade für den 3rd Overall Pick im diesjährigen Draft ein, was wochenlange Spekulationen auslöste, welchen Spieler man damit auswählen wurde. Es ist schlussendlich Trey Lance, Quarterback, von der North Dakota State University geworden. Es folgt ein Überblick über die gedrafteten Spieler, Free Agency und Spieler, welche nicht zu den 49ers zurückkehren werden.

Arten der Free Agents

Bei der Unterteilung der Free Agent Arten ist weder die Position noch die Qualität der Spieler entscheidend, sondern es geht vielmehr um die Zugehörigkeit zur NFL. Hierbei sind die zentralen Punkte eine Accrued Season (angefallene Saison) und Credited Season (angerechnete/gutgeschriebene Saison). Eine Accrued Season bekommt ein Spieler angerechnet, wenn er sich mindestens sechs Wochen in der Saison auf einem Roster befunden hat. Auf dem Roster bedeutet in diesem Fall „Full Pay“ (volle Bezahlung). Das heißt, der Spieler muss auf dem Active Roster geführt sein, kann aber an Gamedays „inactive“ sein oder sich auf der Injured Reserve List geführt werden. Spieler, die sich auf der Practice Squad, Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP-List), Non Football Injury List (NFI List) oder der Commissioner Excampt List befinden, fallen nicht unter den Status „Full Pay“. Um eine Credited Season angerechnet zu bekommen, braucht es dagegen nur drei Spiele im „Full Pay“ Status. Bei der Zuordnung, in welche der drei Arten von Free Agents die Spieler gehören, kommt es auf Accrued Seasons an. Diese müssen nicht am Stück absolviert werden, sondern es zählt einfach die Gesamtzahl der absolvierten Accrued Seasons. Die Credited Seasons sind wichtig für die Minimal-Gehälter und verschiedene Benefits. 1.  Exclusive Rights Free Agent (ERFA) Ein Spieler fällt in die Kategorie des Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFA), wenn er weniger als drei Accrued Seasons in der NFL absolviert hat. Diese Spieler können nur mit ihrer aktuellen Mannschaft vor dem Start der Free Agency verlängern, wenn sie vom Team mit einem Tender belegt werden. Die ERFAs haben keine Möglichkeit mit einem anderen Team zu verhandeln, wenn das aktuelle Team sie mit einem Tender belegt. Die Teams können einen ERFA mit einem Vertrag zum Liga-Minimum an sich binden, ohne dass sich der Spieler dagegen wehren. Es sei denn, der Spieler entscheidet sich die kommende Spielzeit auszusetzen. Geben die Teams einem ERFA keinen Tender, wird er mit dem Beginn des neuen Liga Jahres automatisch zum Free Agent und kann bei jedem Team einen Vertrag unterschreiben. 2. Restricted Free Agents (RFA) Restricted Free Agents sind Spieler, die drei Accrued Seasons in der NFL gespielt haben und deren Vertrag ausläuft. Sie haben ein Angebot von ihrem bisherigen Team erhalten, können aber mit anderen Teams zu verhandeln. Akzeptiert der Spieler ein Angebot eines anderen Teams, so kann das bisherige Team mit diesem Angebot gleichziehen, um den Spieler zu halten. Ist dies nicht der Fall, so gibt es für das alte Team eine mögliche Kompensation, abhängig vom gewählten Tender. Read the full article

There for you | Take Twelve (final)

plot: When BTS falls, will you still be there?

Chapters: Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 (final)

*Culprit of pulling BTS down revealed after Bighit entertainment filed an official search for damaging the company and BTS’s mental health, female particulars kept confidential but was known to have counselled the members*

“y/n what the hell is this, please tell me it’s not you.” yoongi rushed in your room yelling.

“I-its not me, i swear. Why would i???? I helped you guys, please, please believe it’s not me…” your tears started forming.

“Get out. Sejin-hyung sent me the screen caps and evidence. I don’t want to see you ever again.” namjoon firmly raised his voice.

“Seriously? After what i’ve done? It wasn’t me!” the boys started swarming around your room.

“I said get out.”

“Fine.” you started packing your stuff and decide to head straight to the office to get an idea of what the hell is going on.

Deep down, you know that namjoon was trying to protect the boys but, you were beyond hurt that the boys didn’t give you a chance to speak but kicked you out the dorms.

“What is this.” you slammed the article on the office desk where Sejin and the Pd were sitting, as if they were waiting for you.

“y/n...i’m sorry. We appreciate what you have done for us, but we can no longer keep you here. Especially when the boys are rising back to fame. I have wired USD$100 thousand to your account. Please leave.”

“W-what? Are you for real?” you felt so wronged. “Why didn’t you just discuss this with me?”

“You think it’s that easy? y/n, the boys love you, they will never let you go. They’re so distracted by your presence they don’t even listen to us anymore. This is the only way. You air ticket is in the envelope. Please leave.”

y/n couldn’t even react before the guards started dragging her out.

“Well..at least they got me a ride.”

Turns out, the management fabricated the evidence and the article was just a bait to get fans riled up to protect BTS.

Now, it may look as if y/n gave up easily, but she knew she didn’t have a choice now that the boys turned their backs against her. and after all that mess, she genuinely grew attached to the boys, but...love hurts right?

You had no choice but to take the flight back to Singapore, quietly.

y/n continued her studies in management where she finally got a career in managing concert venues and flow of events. Two years later, she was given a chance to work in korea as concerts there were more frequent than it is in Singapore.

In that two years, she changed her number, and deleted her private social media accounts so that none of the boys nor Bighit’s staff would be able to contact her. Also, in that two years, the boys found out it was all a mistake when Sejin got drunk and slipped a few words out of guilt.

They tried contacting her but to no avail. They even went to Singapore privately for vacation, to visit the places y/n had told them before, but they couldn’t find a single speck of her. They eventually went back to korea for promotions there.

25 November 2026, MAMA

“And here, our new stage director, y/n” the staff on floor introduced.

“H-hyung...she..she’s here…” jungkook’s eyes widened.

“Hi! Im y/n, nice to meet you! If you have any questions do ask the staff and we’ll get back to you!” you knew you were bound to meet them, since they’re always performing, but you also promised yourself to never get involved with them ever, after what happened. So you had no choice but to pretend it was your first time meeting them.

After greeting them, you didn’t even give them a chance to speak but rushed off to another end of the venue and pretended the stage crew need help securing the metal bars.

Throughout the whole rehearsal and stage check, you very obviously avoided them, running away when they are near, getting other staff to check their microphones and avoiding eye contact from both sejin and the boys.

You were doing a good job at avoiding them, and always run off to that small dark corner at the back of the stage to rest, not wanting to be seen. Little did you know, the maknae line “stalked” you and found your hideout.

You were using your phone when suddenly,

“y/n” taehyung’s deep voice echoed a little.

Hearing that, you jumped a little and wanted to make a run for it when suddenly, he pulled you into his arms from behind and locked you still.

“Err...i u-uhh i think you’re hugging the wrong person.” y/n nervously tried to pry off tae’s arms.

“Unless you got into and accident and lose your memory, no i think i’m hugging the right person. And from how you kept running away from us tells me you still remember us.” Tae firmly held you in his arms.

Seeing how you were still, jungkook and jimin rushed over in front of you, hugging you and tears started forming in their eyes. You heart broke at this, you couldn’t help but start patting their head.

After that mini group hug session, the boys finally let go of you.

“y/n..why didn’t you tell us the truth?” jimin asked.

“I couldn’t, could i? It happened too fast, and i was confused as well. Speaking of which, how did you find out?”

“Sejin-hyung got drunk and it just slipped out his mouth. Yoongi-hyung didn’t want to believe it, which is why he and namjoon-hyung are cold towards each other. I think you should go see them..please?” Tae begged y/n.

“I don’t know...what if Sejin reports this back to management?” even though you really wanted to meet them, you were hesitant.

“Well then i guess i’ll have to make a fuss~” taehyung joked.

“H-hey..ok ok, i’ll go but, i’ll visit you later ok? My break is ending.”

“You have to ok, or i’ll start uploading the pictures we took last time!” Jungkook grabbed your hands before you leave.

With that, you heaved a sigh of relief. After the final stage checks, you hesitantly made your way to their waiting room.

“y/n-ah…” namjoon and seokjin stood up, speechless.

“H-hi?”

Never have you seen yoongi moved that fast, he ran over and took you in his arms not letting you go.

“y/n what the fuck, do you have any idea how much i tried contacting you? I didn’t want to believe anything, i kept trying and trying and suddenly your line wasn’t going through anymore. don’t fucking leave us again.” yoongi’s words shot out rapidly

“I uhh..i-i’m sorry?” y/n still not adjusting to the situation yet.

“y/n...i’m sorry. I should’ve fought for you. I’m really sorry i don’t know what else to say.” Sejin rose from his seat and approached you.

After that encounter, the boys got your new number, and the company had no choice, seeing how the boys were threatening to bring you back, you were hired as the operations director.

a/n: hello army~~ thanks for reading this up till this chapter!! It really means a lot to me that at least there’s one of you out there enjoying my first series <3 i’ll try to do better next story and sorry for always updating so inconsistently!!

I purple you <3

The sky was clear, light blue painted through the horizon. Not a sign of one or two, big or small, white, fluffy clouds floating across the sky. And the wind is like nothing but calm air. Oh how you wished it was like this every single day. Waltzing your way across the room, you grabbed a hair tie from the bar counter before pulling your hair up into a messy bun.

It was not like it was out of the blue, but you started to clean up the whole house before one of your good friends comes over to hang out and catch up on the things that were left unheard. 

Your eyes wandered around the room - the floors were sparkling clean, the couch pillows were freshly changed with new covers, the dark and dull curtains were replaced with white curtains that lit up the room, and finally, the dust-free furniture that have been dusted off since early morning. 

The sun was still up and you had one more hour to prep yourself up until he arrives. Making your way up to your bathroom, you didn’t waste anytime and began to scrub all the dirt and sweat away from your body, pampering your whole body with body scrubs, body wash, fragrant shampoos and many more.

Now that your morning routine was done, you stared at two outfits that were laid on your bed. A white loose shirt paired with a light brown cardigan and a pair of grey jogger shorts or a pair of thin grey sweater paired with white shorts; which you chose the latter in the end.

Slipping your feet onto your comfy gudetama slippers, you trudged towards your kitchen and looked at your baking recipes book, looking for possible desserts that you can make for a small amount of time before the catching up and watching of movies start. After finding a possible candidate, you rummaged through your cabinets and found all the ingredients except four.

It was all the way up in the top shelves and being the munchkin that you are, even if your on your toes already, it was just too high for you too reach. Giving it another try, you were almost lifting yourself up from the floor while putting all your weight on your arms when a hand reached for the flour for you.

You turned your head to meet the owner of the hand’s gaze, only to make your cheeks heat up at the sight of your good friend, Shownu. Noticing the distance between the two of you, you immediately moved away and accepted the flour that he reached for you. “T-thanks. How’d you get it?”

Carefully laying out all the ingredients on the marbled counter, you turned to look at Shownu’s reaction. “You weren’t answering when I knocked so I got the spare key hidden under your doormat.”

“Nice, nice... Say, do you want some brownies before we start watching Boss Baby?” You asked whilst preparing the bowls and other baking utensils that you were gonna use. “Yeah, sure. I missed your brownies tho.” 

“Don’t worry, Hyunwoo, I gotchu!” You beamed while shooting finger guns at him with a wink, making him chuckle at your cuteness. “Just sit back and make yourself comfortable!” Shownu nods his head and walks over to the bar stool, his eyes focused on you.

You didn’t think twice but to start with mixing the ingredients. It wasn’t really hard for you to mix everything in just a small amount of time since you were used to baking brownies and other desserts for your friends. 

While you were busy mixing, Shownu couldn’t help but smile at how you looked so cute when you were concentrating. Your eyebrows were furrowed and you had your tongue out as you whisked the mixture with just the right amount of strength. 

Anything that you do, Shownu would always find it cute and lovable... maybe because he has liked you ever since the two of you met way back in High School. But even though he’s liked you for that long, he wasn’t able to deny the fact that he was too shy to confess to you. 

And you were just the same with him. Your heart would go crazy every time he was around or when he’s doing just one random thing. Both of you have bottled up all those feelings just because the two of you were too shy to make the first move.

Anyways, back to reality, Shownu couldn’t help but let out a chuckle when you came to him with a pout on your lips as you couldn’t twist the jar of chocolate chips open.

“Here.” Shownu softly smiles at you and hands you the jar of chocolate chips and its cover. “Thanks!” With you hurrying to the batter, sprinkling it on top of the batter and mixing it. Once you’ve finished, you plopped the greased pan filled with the brownie batter in the pre-heated oven and let it set there for twenty minutes.

“Shall I go get our mugs?” Shownu asks, lifting himself off the bar stool before walking towards the cabinets. “Yes, please!” You then return your attention back to the bowl, and other utensils that had to be washed.

You couldn’t help but trail your eyes towards Shownu’s body, his arms stretched, allowing his shirt to hike up. You couldn’t help but widen your eyes when you saw his happy trail, making you fangirl on the inside with your head hang down to cover the fact that you were blushing madly.

The sound of glass wear meeting the marbled floor got you to look up and meet Shownu’s gaze. “You can grab any drink that you want in the fridge.” Nodding his head in response, he opens the fridge and pulls out a bottle of coke, making you burst out laughing.

“What?”

Shaking your head, you just continued washing the dishes. Wiping off the excess water, you carefully placed everything on the rack and glanced towards Shownu’s direction before leading him back to the living room with both your mugs on your hands while a bottle of coke and milk in his. 

“So, how’s life, Hyunwoo?” You casually asked as you felt his skin graze with yours when you both placed the mugs and bottles down on the coffee table. It felt like electric spark ran down your spine, startling you for a second. 

Shownu sits down on the couch with his arms rested at the backrest, watching you grab the remote and sit back, not minding his arm resting behind your neck. “Life’s been alright.” He mutters as he tries to calm down his beating heart when he felt you scoot a little bit closer to him.

“Oh, c’mon Hyunwoo, don’t you have any juicy news that I’ve practically missed while I was away?” 

I can’t tell you how much I kept thinking about you when you were away, Shownu shakes his head and quickly grabs the remote away from you, choosing the Boss Baby since you were too slow.

“How about you, [y/n]? Don’t you have anything juicy to tell me when you were away?” Shownu emphasizes the word juicy, only to have you laughing at him. “Life’s been alright too.” You copied, making him poke you on the sides with a pout.

“I’m just kidding! I just recently got a job at Seoul National University Hospital.” You softly muttered as you leaned on his arm, making Shownu feel thousands of butterflies in his tummy.

“That’s great to hear, [y/n]! So, can I say that I can have you as my doctor?” 

You can even have me as your wife, you thought while you nodded at his question. “Well, if ever you get sick or hurt, just call me.” You gave him a wink as you slowly transferred your attention to the movie playing right before you.

The room was filled with nothing but the sound of the character’s from the movie talking. Glancing up at the clock, you excused yourself by placing a hand on Shownu’s thighs before heading to the kitchen to check on the brownies, which was perfectly done by the minute you came.

By the minute that you left, Shownu had this gut feeling telling him to just freaking confess already but it felt like it wasn’t the right time. With you waddling in the living room with the brownies in your hand, you excitedly placed it right in front of the two of you before slicing up a piece, placing it on a napkin and giving it to Shownu. Well, it was more like you feeding him the brownie.

“Woah, it’s still heavenly good!” He beams with a smile as you brought down your hand from his mouth. “I’m glad to hear that.” You smiled and unconsciously leaned back to his chest, making you frantically move away but only to be stopped by Shownu who had his arm completely wrapped around your shoulder.

“I’m so sorry!” you squeaked. “It’s okay, I like it when you’re close to me.” Shownu blurts out, only to end up with the two of you blushing and letting out a laugh. “Aye~” you teased while poking his cheek as you now leaned back to his chest. 

Chuckling at your actions, Shownu couldn’t help but stare at your eyes. You were also staring back at him but there was something that got the two of you to lock eyes for a couple of minute before inching closer and closer until both of your lips touched.

Both of your eyes fluttered close as the two of you shared a deep, yet meaningful kiss. Your hands instinctively wrapped themselves around Shownu’s neck. You drew yourself closer to bathe in his wondrous heat and energy. The kiss was soft and full of passion that you could just imagine yourself kissing this plump, and luscious lips all the time.

Pulling away after a minute or two, the two of you looked into each other’s eyes with a tint of pink dusted on top of your cheeks. Both of your bodies were heating up at the sudden intimacy but you didn’t feel awkward about it.

Shownu takes a deep breath and confessed, “I like you alot, [y/n].... ever since we were still in high school. My heart was already beating for you by the minute I laid my eyes on those beautiful eyes of yours.”

“Really?” your eyes lit up, you finally saw hope between the two od you. Before, you thought that it was impossible for you to have someone like Shownu in your life, especially when he’s out of your league. 

“Yeah. I was just too shy to confess my feelings to you since... I thought that you only saw me as a brother but.. when all these little things happening between us today made me just you know.. gather all this courage to have my lips pressed against those soft lips of yours that I’ve been wishing to kiss throughout these years.”

Pouting at you, you slightly gave his chest a smack, “Dummy! Why would I see you as my brother? You know, I also like you a lot ever since High School too. But then, I’m glad that this happened.” You shy smiled.

“You like me too?” 

“If I didn’t like you back, would I do this?” You didn’t think twice but to give him a quick peck on the lips, catching him off-guard. As soon as you pulled away, Shownu couldn’t help but blush and smile at the same time.

Shyly scratching the back of his head, Shownu looks at you in the eyes and asks, “I don’t know how to say this but... will you be my girlfriend?”

“I would love to!” 

Wrapping his arms around you, Shownu pulls you into a tight hug before placing a kiss on your forehead. “So, do you want to continue watch this movie or do you want to....” Shownu pauses for a while before giggling, “continue that kiss awhile ago?”

“Hyunwoo!” You laughed, only to receive a look from Shownu. “So?” 

“I would like to continue the kiss awhile ago...”

Francis Pritchard x Reader Chapter 1

P1TH0N’S JOURNAL: FEBRUARY 9TH 2027

7:38am

         In the distance sirens can be heard as I made my way to Sarif Industries. The building reflects the face of Detroit, dismal but full of new hope. This new company just became well known only a year or two ago.

       A motorbike coming to a stop in the underground parking garage barely lit by the lights embedded in the walls. The basement entrance unlocked with a triple beep granting access to the engineer room. Spacey and dark since none of the lights in the building have been turned on yet. Black lights can be seen out in the hallway running low on power.

     I flip the switch fuses that give power to everywhere in the building. I squinted at the sudden brightness of the room as I hung my jacket on the coat rack.

     The last Engineering manager disappeared and they needed a replacement asap, so they gave me the promotion to fill the position. My talent can go from fixing Coffee machines to hot wiring cars in hollywood movies. Speaking of coffee, I should go get some myself. I walk up the flight of stairs towards the Café, provided by Sarif himself, and to where the kitchenette can be found.

      “Froger’s Instant Coffee.” Tastes just as good as its name. Cheap. Sarif may provide for the Café, but it doesn’t mean he has to get the good stuff.

         I start the coffee maker and began digging through the cupboards for that one special mug. Scribbled on it was the word ‘coffee’, but in a /blue/ sharpie instead of black. I took a quick look inside and noticed something crusty in it, “JC. Whoever washes the dishes around here need more elbow grease next time.” I rinsed it quickly and watched the coffee maker…make coffee. Just as exciting as watching the scientists work, but eventually something good happens.

       The coffee maker started gurgling and stopped making coffee, so I banged on it a few time just to get it going again. After ten minutes of a whistling solo the coffee maker beeps abruptly bringing me out of my wind concerto and over to the pitcher to get the daily dose of caffeine one needs if they wake up at 7am every morning for work.

         The rest of the building was silent. Pretty peaceful unlike later in the day where everyone is running around like they’re trying to get someone to the moon in a day. BigBro cameras were the only thing making a noise at the moment buzzing as they scanned the areas. I inspected one that has been fizzling in and out just outside the dining area. It needs to be tweaked soon. It has been two weeks its been doing that. Maybe I’ll tackle it after I do something nice for my bosses. Besides give them more paperwork to fill out. Today is going to be slow and boring, so why not give them some encouragement.

   I turned to read the clock on the microwave.

7:45am

        “Crap, Pritchard will be here soon.” I hastily dig through the cupboard to find his mug which had the infamous Nucl3arSnake logo drawn on it. I did that for him since he was getting vexed at people stealing his mug, 'Just put my name on it or draw a logo on there or SOMETHING so they’ll know not to take it.’ He frantically said a few months ago.

      I’ve been with SI since they started hiring advanced security back in 2026 in January and Pritchard joined in just at the end of July of the same year. He is the very same way today as he was a year ago, annoyingly snarky and dashingly clever. He’s recently been opening up a little more to me. Considerably everyday actually, I’m quite honoured.

      Looking back at the mug and out of my day dream I look at the drawing again. It wasn’t the best and was quickly squiggled on, I’ll just put it on my to-do list to fix later. I filled the mug with hot coffee, spilling some on my hand in the process and opened the fridge to find the vanilla coffee creamers. It’s never another flavour is it. Hesitating a moment to think about two creams or three. Three of course, he has a sweet tooth and man he can be so cranky in the morning.

7:50am

          I was about to book it with the coffee to his office until more hot liquid touched my hand. “Geez!” I politely cursed to the nonexistent audience that I write to while grabbing a small tea plate to put over the mug and run towards the Tech Lab. Almost tripping on the stairs going up, I safely managed to open the door with my free hand and speed walk inside to set the plate and coffee next to the computer. The only reason I know the code to his office is so I can make sure the cameras are facing the proper direction…and he secretly enjoys my late-night company, but he’s too proud to admit it.

    The little Korean vacuum cleaner beeped at my presence upon entering.

7:55am

      I hear his motorcycle rumbling underneath my feet even from the second floor. I quickly leave the office accidentally squishing the bot that followed me out the door. “Sorry buddy, you can’t come with.” I gently move it back in the office with my foot and close the door. Soft thumps can be heard from the bot and from the nearby stairs. I make a 180° in my tracks and take the scenic route to the stairs to avoid him for multiple reasons. Peering around the corner, I check to make sure he’s in his office before proceeding downstairs.

      Now back in the dining area I take my coffee and go to my own office to begin a long and bland day. “Wait, I forgot Adam’s coffee.” I breathed in then clumsily got out of the Jetson chair and went kitchen bound, again. Finding the only other clean mug and /carefully/ filling it this time. Two creams, two sugars. I grabbed another small plate to hold the lava hot liquid in the mug then hurried onwards up an extra flight of stairs and to his office. “Oh geez,” I forgot his code… 0451…1723…? I only have one entry left. Do I risk the alarm system going off and having an even scarier morning Francis? Or do I just ask him…5375. “Oh thank god,” the door opened to reveal a very hot and humid office and a slightly dishevelled and sleeping Adam. He must have left his humidifier on by accident. I didn’t even realize he didn’t leave work last night either. I set the coffee on his desk and poked the cactus on my way out. They thrive off of negligence I heard.

      Now finally in my office there’s a stack of paperwork I have to get to and a camera to fix later.

6:15pm

    The fucking alarm system went off on the first floor. Where the café is with the busted camera of course. When I got to the area, Adam was already down there checking out the scene for clues as to why the alarms were going off.

All of the workers except for Francis, Adam, and I have evacuated the building to safety protocols. A walking turret was stalking about looking for the intruder that it will never find because there are none.

    “What the hell is going on Jensen?”

    “I might ask you the same thing since you have all the camera feeds in /your/ office, Francis” Major emphasis on his name.

    “Well-”

    “It’s not my division.”

    “Damnit Jensen it /is/ a part of your division! You are a part of our security, tech or not!”

I figured I should do something before their quarrelling turns violent, so I disabled the bugged cameras making the alarm system shut off.

    “Finally, could this day have anymore interruptions!” Francis’ ponytail swished as he walked off. How cute…I didn’t realize I was staring until Frank spoke up.

    “And thanks (y/n) for doing something right unlike /some/ other people.” he glared at Jensen then disappeared up the stairs and probably to his office.

    “Thanks (y/n), seriously. Im sure he was about to have a seizure from restraining himself from punching me.”

    “Pfft, you’re welcome, but y’know he’s not as bad as people think he is.”

    “Could be, but you have also been working with him and the company for quite some time. He knows you.”

    I shrugged then walked back to my office broken camera in hand, “Maybe so.”
