siiiigh. i am compelled to make an essay involving yuka...... might do it.

Date: 09/29 SPOILERS FOR S2 Part 1

I don't know how many times I rewrote everything, my documents flew away for dozens of pages, so I will divide my post into several parts.

I like to theorize and explain things to myself, but at the moment every new question that comes up contradicts every answer I found. I don’t have a lot of time now, and unfortunately I have to write first, then translate. So I don't know when I will be able to edit the next part and post it.

In the first post I want to talk about time, number of attempts, and what the original reality is. My friendly reminder - this is all just empty speculation and I'm just having fun (while crying actually). I'm pretty sure that when we get trailers and more information about canon, I'll change my mind a lot. But that's it for now.

Time

The events in s2 take place in a short time. In the last interview it was said that about 3 days had passed. so. October, 23th - Lu Guang was stabbed, Cheng Xiaoshi was interrogated during the day, the events in the hospital placed during the evening. October, 24th - Chen Bin's funeral, Cheng Xiaoshi dived in his photo October, 25th - dive in Li Tianxi's photo, interrogation of Li Tianchen, time loop, Lu Guang's kidnapping October, 26th - everything that happened in the theater and in the tunnel Plus taking into account the time (about a month) they spent in the hospital, ep12 ends at the end of November/beginning of December, congratulations. The start of the new year is almost here, have we really crossed the critical point for Cheng Xiaoshi and he won't be forever 21? Heh.

9/13 is not the date of Cheng Xiaoshi's death,  it has to be 9/12. Below I will describe why I think that this is not his first attempt, and in this case more than 5 minutes have definitely passed. Time has not stood still, seconds are passing. Lu Guang's watch does not say five in the morning, but midnight and five minutes. The date of the password is Lu Guang's reminder, corresponding exactly to the time of the dive. If that's the case, I believe that each new reality is a new password corresponding to the time of  diving, as a reminder of the previous failure. 

Technically, I think that Cheng Xiaoshi actually died at 5:35 in the original timeline - this date was indicated, everything led to it, but in the end it was not shown  in s2 itself. The events in the tunnel do not correspond to this time, since the actions took place earlier (the meeting at the theater was scheduled for 3 am, the rest of the events happened very quickly, the whole action couldn't have lasted for 2 hours and a half, so I think everything happened before approximately 4 am or so).

It coincides too well with this broken time in the Overthink. So, I am desperate enough to believe that  Cheng Xiaoshi's death occurred at 05:35 (as actual time). Even if the specific time in the ED can be perceived as 5:20, because that is literally the reason why Lu Guang broke the time - his wish that Cheng Xiaoshi could live, his love for Cheng Xiaoshi. It is possible that time passed in the original reality - literally from this moment until the last attempt at 00:05. So maybe. While Lu Guang lives one life after another, in fact, Lu Guang is truly “frozen” in this 12-13 September, and not even a day has passed in the original timeline. Why do I think that exactly this amount of time has passed (more than five minutes, but less than a day)?

It’s difficult to say at all that Cheng Xiaoshi died in the photo studio in the first place.

There are changes in the design of their room.

Lu Guang probably washed the blood from his hands, so he spent some time for it, but did not change his clothes, still covered in blood, even has traces of blood on his face. (Did Cheng Xiaoshi touch his face before he died? Did Lu Guang himself cry, covering his face with hands? Oh, boy)

I'll talk about details in the next part.

Again and again

I feel sorry for him. He is the most pathetic, most selfish, most insane person in the universe. I love it so much.

I believe we have not yet seen the actual chronology in terms of events, but we have seen the original timeline in terms of Lu Guang's insane room.

I’m sure this is not his first dive; we have always had the symbolism of constant resets. Again and again, again and again, again and again. I think there have been many attempts. As many as there were photographs he could find - if the ability works the same way as Cheng Xiaoshi use it himself, and he should be the author of the photo, we can only cover our heads with our hands and cry.

This is Lu Guang's POV - Lu Guang already knew that the death node cannot be changed (meaning he already tried), but he still wants to use the very last attempt to try.

He looks so dead inside, it's impossible. In my understanding: he initially used earlier photographs that were closer to September, the death of Cheng Xiaoshi in the original reality, and then dived deeper and deeper into the past, into more distant events.

Let's go back to s1. It is still difficult to say how many times the events were repeated. Lu Guang himself confirmed it in his words that this happened more than once. There have been a lot of attempts, he himself said “no matter how hard you try".

I think that “last chance” meant just that, last chance. From what he said, we know that a photo can only be used once. If s1 showed us the events of the current timeline, which I believe, this was probably one of the earliest photos that Lu Guang could use - a photo that happened before their first meeting. Back to their real beginning. This… tritely has a beautiful and symbolic logic behind it. Current events are “all or nothing.”

The photo studio from the flashback is the original universe, this reality is not destroyed, he returns to it after each original attempt. We know that Cheng Xiaoshi died many times in many different ways. If there have been many attempts, if the attempts are limited to photographs, all he can do is use them from some original point.

Like I think he can't get an "infinite" number of attempts by using the photos again within the "past" he returned to. In my opinion, “dive within a dive” is impossible. I don't think that after diving, there is a possibility of another dive by the same person inside the diving - because it makes more sense if Lu Guang has an invisible timer that reminds him - the time is running out.

I think the design of their room in the original timeline confirms this. Their table is always full of books, there are things, lamps, even framed photo. Everything is empty. If these were the events immediately after Сheng Xiaoshi's death, would their room be so lifeless?

I'm inclined to think that Lu Guang went through all their belongings, used every possible attempt to find suitable photographs that would allow him to try to rewrite the events again.

I find destroyed or burned photographs more symbolic of failed attempts being burned, too - after all, a photo can only be used once, everything is changing, it’s not a time loop. Every used photo, every reality that doesn't turn out well, is another crossed out opportunity. But remembering his words about the destruction of photos - I think that we will see this again in the context of the fact that he destroyed the photos himself. It is quite possible that he destroys the photo after the dive to erase the reality/time where Cheng Xiaoshi died again as a fact. Because… otherwise a terrible situation will arise. If Lu Guang possesses himself from a photo, then after leaving it after Cheng Xiaoshi's death, the original!Lu Guang moves back to the original line, while Lu Guang from the rewritten timeline remains in the timeline where Cheng Xiaoshi is dead (and if the events are rewritten so deeply, it is not at all clear what will happen to his memory). Therefore, I am sure that the original Lu Guang must destroy the photographs because of this as well.

I was wondering if he destroys the photo while diving, right after it - maybe that's how the mechanics could work, I would say, of how he "locks" himself into a certain reality. But since I believe that he should return to the "original point", I do not think that this is possible - if he doesn't need to come back, if he just "dives after diving" further into the next timeline, it won't make sense: more photos can be taken, attempts won't end with a limit. But do I like this idea for the last attempt? That he has to live his entire life from the very beginning without a “save point” to return to? Oh. Yes. Note: I considered the possibility that there is no original timeline as a starting point for diving, that he dives again after diving inside the dive itself, destroys the photo immediately inside the dive, that everything is repeated again, no limit either. Just at some point Lu Guang himself decides there is no point in continuing to use any photos from this period, so decided to use a photo corresponding to the very very beginning. But in doesn't make sense, in any case he will have the opportunity to take more photos that he could use for further dives, this does not create a " the last try" point (even if it was possible, also knowing Lu Guang’s character, I don’t think that he could partly “give up”, partly take such risks voluntarily)

But it's still questionable. Because, if the original timeline exists, all dives were made from there, then a simple problem arises - given Cheng Xiaoshi's ability, all dives take place in “real time”, i.e. in the original reality the same amount of time should also pass. We all understand that this is impossible, it is difficult to imagine how many attempts Lu Guang made, how many years actually passed.

So, if we believe that the “original reality” is a thing, then the combination of their abilities, becoming a “perfect fusion,” has other limits, other specifics of using and/or the original timeline is so broken that time only passes when Lu Guang exists in it.

The original universe… or?

I hope I've made it clear enough before - in my opinion the original timeline was shown to us in terms of the timeline from where he dives into the photos. Their room. Because there must be something that creates a limited number of attempts.

But I have some doubts about the fact that what we saw in the vision or flashback is the original timeline, too. Yes, they could have shown us the very first death of Cheng Xiaoshi, this would even be logical, but the problem is that this is only relevant if we agree that Lu Guang has white hair from birth.

Considering that the hints themselves within the series may turn out to be a joke, I still haven't completely dismissed this idea. The only characters with unusual hair color are twins, but they are like that at least because of genetics, they inherited it from their mother. While the issue with Lu Guang remains open.

Therefore, I am considering 2 simple options: 1. Lu Guang's hair was originally white from birth, so we shouldn't expect him to have a different design in the original timeline. Or Lu Guang's hair turned white before Cheng Xiaoshi's death for some other reason. Then we can safely say that the events of the flashback is the original universe.

2. Lu Guang's hair was not originally white, but his hair gradually turned white with each dive attempt due to overpowering, trying too many times, and overusing his abilities.

If we consider the second option, then:

The flashback events shown to us are one of the later attempts, for example, the penultimate one, which is generally a possible option. That version of death, when Cheng Xiaoshi received a very similar injury to Lu Guang - that why the flashbacks were specifically about this late attempt.

The events shown to us are this current reality in which Cheng Xiaoshi was/has to be the 7th case, and this is exactly the death that was intended for him in this timeline - but this period of time, from April to September, was cut out and "stolen", just as case 7 disappeared. And that in the most recent attempt, not only was time rewritten “from the very beginning,” from the very first photo, but something else happened to prevent Cheng Xiaoshi’s death at the appointed time.

The one who was supposed to die in the photo studio when Lu Guang was stabbed - was Cheng Xiaoshi himself, and what was shown was not a flashback, but Lu Guang's vision of how things could have been different (if we perceive the forest not as a literal location, but a symbol) . I doubt it, but let's leave this possibility open.

Why do I even think that the white hair theory could be real? Of course, maybe it's just the light, but maybe… Due to Li Tianxi's memories and abilities, taking over the memories from the other reality in which Lu Guang lived, Qiao Ling's hair also changed a bit. Pay attention to the only white strain in her hair. This is an extremely interesting and rather intentional detail.

If this is the case, then Qiao Ling's white hair is a hint. This does not mean that every attempt is 1 white strand of hair. It's not that… literal. This is an artistic way of allowing the viewer to speculate if this is the case.

I'm not betting on any particular idea, given that things can't be that simple and we don't really know how September-April will be explained. Another problem is why Lu Guang is wearing a watch on his other hand in this shot. Everything may be different, case 7 may be about a completely different character. But I also think many things will be connected at some point.

Photos and OP

There are a lot of photographs. So many. As we remember from Dive Back in Time. There will be two key ones - thanks to Vortex.

One of which is precisely related to the moment that allowed Lu Guang to travel 6 years (or more) into the past - to the moment they even met. Would this be a photo at school? Was it an accidental photo left behind? I have much more painful though. Their “very beginning” has a huge chance of not being high school time, but as I mentioned before, I’ll leave that for a separate post.

But the other one? I can’t imagine clearly, of course, but for me there are 3 ways:

This is about the current timeline - September-October were influenced by the use of a different photo - it will let us understand what the 7th case and one of the main storylines.

The starting point from where Lu Guang began his attempts to save Cheng Xiaoshi and change his fate. The core one.

If we believe the hints in the art book, the intro, the dark design of Cheng Xiaoshi, then the photo will be from the moment where something happens to make CXS become depresso!CXS.

I had hopes that the teaser would be about s3, and thus something would become clearer in my head, but… For now, we can only build theories for the next year or two.

Thank you for reading ~

HI HI HI

can i request niigo x reader who looks/acts opposite of them. although their mental health with niigo is like the same but externally, they tend to stick like sore thumb in other's pov.

reader doesn't talk unless spoken, expressionless and her tone is always flat when talking BUT mizuki isn't like that, ena isn't like that, kanade isn't like that; mafuyu is like that but in her good girl facade, she's doesn't act similarly to reader.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? I DON'T HOW TO EXPLAIN OMG... anyways...

hope you're in good health!!

I AM VERY CONFUSED BUT I WILL TRY TO DELIVER WHAT I CAN INFER FROM THIS GRAHHH

THANK YOU I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO IN GOOD HEALTH

IM SO SO SO SO SORRY THAT THIS WAS LATE IM NOT ONLINE ON TUMBLR MUCH

"BRILLIANT UNBRILLIANT LIGHT"

ENA

(ENA MARRY ME PLS)

ENA

Sitting at a cafe, you waited for Ena, courtesy of her inviting you out to talk about something. Perhaps she wanted to talk to you about her new ideas...

You continued waiting for a few minutes before you finally heard someone call your name.

"(name)!" Ena walked over to your table and sat at the opposite side with a small smile.

In bright contrast, you wore normal and plain clothing. While Ena on the other hand, she clearly dressed up, though not as much but it was still quite there.

"Oh... Ena." You said her name in a flat voice, you looked... chronically exhausted but that doesn't really matter since you always were like that.

Different, always silent, plain, in stark contrast to the 4 at Nightcord at 25:00 you were an odd one, almost like you were trying to be invisible.

"Seriously? Slippers with socks on?" Ena made a chuckle, tilting her head to gaze at your footwear.

"Sorry, I didn't think the conversation would be that important."

"It really isn't important, but even if I said that you would still dress like this right?"

"Oh..."

"You're so easy to read, but yet so hard at the same time." Ena made a sigh while resting her head at her palm.

"But perhaps that's because why I am drawn to you..." Ena whispered along her breath.

"Sorry... can you repeat that?"

"Nothing~!"

MIZUKI

"Hey hey!" Mizuki walked beside you and poked you with her finger on the arm.

"Yes...?" You asked flatly, looking at her while you and her were walking around the mall.

"Let's go visit the clothing store there! I'm sure there's tons that would fit you."

"..." You only replied with a painfully plain nod. Causing Mizuki to sigh.

"Be a bit more energetic, will you?" Mizuki playfully commented before intertwining her warm hands with your cold ones.

"... Wonderhoy."

"I don't think that helps..." Mizuki scratches her head after your comment, you tilted your head.

"You get plus five for effort though."

"Another plus five for being so cute..." Mizuki whispered before walking away.

"What?" You heard what she said, however you soon got dragged by Mizuki's surprisingly rough tug.

"Let's go! I'll get clothes that would look cute on you." Mizuki laughed, forcing you to forget what she said and changing the subject.

MAFUYU

Meeting her for the first time, felt odd. No you felt odd just by being around her, gladly you were perceptive of others despite being dull yourself.

Those eyes, when she introduced herself, you got the feeling... that she was distant, despite her warm words.

It was just a gut feeling though, so you barely paid attention to it.

But in all seriousness, you didn't expected that it would be eventually true. Those instinctive feelings about her you got back then, was actually true.

You can't fake kindness, you also can't fake for too long.

And Mafuyu herself didn't know why she would approach you whenever she got the chance. Mafuyu herself couldn't find an answer, as to why she was drawn to you.

And Mafuyu sat beside you on a bench right now.

"You don't do packed lunch often..." Mafuyu stared at your lunch.

"... I'm lazy." Your reply was fairly delayed.

"That's hard to believe... you always lie like that." Mafuyu sighed heavily.

"You do the same to everyone don't you?"

... Mafuyu's eyes shot wide opened in complete shock. "Huh?" She could only muster that out.

You gave no further explanation and remained silent. Mafuyu didn't reply...

Though however after a few moments, she eventually spoke.

Mafuyu's eyes dulled, it's a good thing no one was around, but now, she knew why she was drawn to you.

"You caught me."

(MARRY ME PLS)

KANADE

Being invited over to her house accidentally was weird. Well, it was because the rain outside was too harsh, and the closest house was Kanade's.

Though at first you refused the idea, Kanade was a bit persistent.

"Come in..." Kanade softly invited you to go inside, in which you did, but not before taking off your shoes first.

You remained silent, while Kanade flipped the light switch, the light opened around the living room.

"The rain... is getting worse isn't it? It's better if you stay here." Kanade said, inviting you to sit at the couch.

"You're kind." You complimented her with a flat voice, but despite that Kanade could tell that it was genuine.

Kanade's cheeks faintly blushed, but she made a small gentle smile.

"Thank you..."

You remained silent after that, the only sound audible was the muffled raindrops colliding with the ground outside of Kanade's house.

"I should compose any soon now..." Kanade whispered to herself, causing you to look at her.

"Compose...? You did mention you wanted to compose music that can save others right?'

"Well I did." Kanade scratched her cheek while tilting her head.

"Can that music save you?"

"..."

Kanade went into silence after what you asked. "Then will you save me if I can't save myself?" Kanade didn't know what pushed her to ask that, but she did.

"I will."

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles ➣Twitter Marketing Campaign ➣ Leon Kennedy & Jack Krauser

One of the many amazing things about DSC was the twitter marketing Capcom did, which was 4 accounts that tweeted about the game from the perspectives of characters. Naturally my Darkside Chronicles lore quest does involve copy/pasting the tweets, in a way that is much easier to digest than just going to each individual twitter account. I'm formatting them in chronological order, with tweets from multiple characters together. This post is the Operation Javier focused tweets from the @Leon_Darkside and @Jack_Darkside accounts.

@Leon_Darkside

I'll never get used to traveling on these damn C-130s. A cot made of Ammo crates makes for a terrible nights sleep.

5:43 PM · Aug 7, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Still anxious about the mission. Even after all I've seen. Maybe because I have an idea of what's in store for us.

12:47 PM · Aug 8, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

When I say "us" I'm talking about my new partner and I. That's all I can say at this point.

@Leon_Darkside

We're getting ready to land at yet another undisclosed location.

12:46 PM · Aug 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I remember my first day...

7:46 PM · Aug 13, 2009

[At this point the Leon account began tweeting as Leon in Raccoon City, alongside the Claire account. I have chosen to limit this post to the OJ tweets, you can read the RE2 tweets here.]

@Leon_Darkside

5:38 PM · Sep 4, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

It seems like these threats always surface in places forgotten and overlooked.

5:40 PM · Sep 4, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Why must something horrid like this happen before we pay attention to these people?

5:43 PM · Sep 4, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

But now I'm here, ready to face the same fears as I faced that first night in Raccoon City almost five years ago.

11:25 AM · Sep 5, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I'm not alone, I have the best partner I could have wished for. And I know what to expect.

4:58 PM · Sep 5, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I should never have let Claire go to find Chris on her own after Raccoon City. But I did.

4:59 PM · Sep 5, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

She ended up imprisoned on some island in the South Seas. Alone. Until she met Steve Burnside.

12:38 PM · Sep 6, 2009

[At this point the Steve Burnside account began tweeting and the Claire account continued as well, while the Leon account only retweeted the Steve account without adding anything. So I'm not including them, you can read the Claire and Steve tweets here.]

@Jack_Darkside

Yet another jungle. Yet another operation.

7:41 PM · Oct 27, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Something about B.O.W.’s (Bio-Organic Weapons). Supposed to be worse than anything I’ve faced before. Hmph, I seriously doubt that.

7:42 PM · Oct 27, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

…That was then. This is now.

7:43 PM · Oct 27, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

It was just a matter of time before the threat returned.

7:43 PM · Oct 27, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

But this time we know what to expect.

7:43 PM · Oct 27, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Because this time I’m bringing a new partner.

@Leon_Darkside

An experienced Special Forces operative named Jack Krauser.

Leon is his name. Leon S. Kennedy.

3:15 PM · Oct 28, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

He seems a bit cocky.

As long as he keeps his head down and doesn’t do anything stupid, we’ll get along just fine.

I’m sure this is the beginning of a great partnership.

South America. On the hunt for an ex-drug lord named Javier Hidalgo.

They sent us here, chasing some guy named Javier Hidalgo. A bad man with even worse connections.

1:24 PM · Nov 2, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

He contacted someone in the Umbrella Corp. who subsequently disappeared. I don’t know if we’re looking for him too or what?

No one in sight.

We saw a guy stumbling around town. He looked sick.

7:08 PM · Nov 5, 2009

Going to try and talk to him, he must know something about what’s going on here and where to find our guide.

Dude’s done clawing now.

3:24 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

I wonder if this is the B.O.W. everyone’s so scared of. Nothing I can’t handle.

6:22 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

One minute you assume a person to be human, the next you are ridding the world of infection by shooting him.

6:23 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Making our way deeper into the village, we see posters of missing girls all over the walls and fences.

6:53 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I hear some sounds coming from one of the houses.

6:53 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Still, I’m gonna continue with a bit of caution.

6:54 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Leon seems a little jumpy.

6:54 PM · Nov 9, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

More “people” attacking us. More “people” getting shot.

5:19 PM · Nov 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

They are eating his face… Here we go again.

5:22 PM · Nov 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

They went down in a hail of bullets. But more are coming...

What the…? Where’re these damn creatures coming from? Nasty bloodshot eyes, exposed bleeding gums. Haven’t [note: tweet does end that suddenly]

5:30 PM · Nov 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

They are coming from everywhere; we’ve got to get to safety.

7:28 PM · Nov 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Krauser (@jack_darkside) is taking it in stride. Seems remarkably unaffected by the horror.

7:30 PM · Nov 10, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

The zombies, the relentless attacks, the killing. No reaction.

3:33 PM · Nov 11, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

There are a lot coming at us. I hope they let up or we’re gonna run out of ammo.

3:34 PM · Nov 11, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

If we run out, so be it. My knives have dealt with graver dangers before.

3:34 PM · Nov 11, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

We found our guide, near death. But his last words were about a girl who had escaped Javier’s mansion.

7:16 PM · Nov 12, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Our guide… we found him. He’s seen better days. Now what? He said something about a girl before he died.

7:16 PM · Nov 12, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

We need to get to a safer location. We can’t just stand here and take wave after wave of these assaults.

7:17 PM · Nov 12, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

He tried to help the girl. But… seems like he failed.

12:38 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

At least he’s at peace now. Now... how should we proceed from here?

12:38 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Guide is dead. One less person whose safety I need to worry about.

12:40 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Didn’t get much info out of him. Now what?

12:40 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

We have to find a place to barricade and ride out the worst of the storm.

7:14 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

The town is on a riverbank and partially built on water. There’s something in that water.

7:14 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

We’re not retreating. Simply advancing in a different direction.

7:15 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Gotta get out of this house. I can see hordes coming closer through the cracks in the wall.

7:15 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

We have to get to a safer position. I just hope these old walkways hold up, I don’t want to fall into that water.

7:59 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

We’re barricaded. But poorly. We gotta keep going.

8:00 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

We’re running from danger. And I hate running from danger. Danger runs from me!

8:01 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

We made it to a church, should be safer in here.

8:17 PM · Nov 16, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Some shoddy old church seems to be the most solid structure around.

5:57 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

I hear friggin’ singing. Who the hell would be singing at a time like this?

5:57 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Singing…? Here? A Beautiful voice, calming, innocent.

5:58 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

The girl… don’t know her name, but man…

5:58 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I’m looking at the most beautiful young girl, singing with an almost angelic voice, for some disgusting monster

6:00 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Some little scared girl. A fragile looking flower.

6:01 PM · Nov 17, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Bizarre, to say the least, to watch this delicate girl calming a monster with her voice. If I had that ability, my life would be easier.

12:34 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

The girl has collapsed and the monster has turned its attention to us. Damn it’s big, and pretty much unaffected by our bullets... Great!

12:35 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Looks like we really pissed it off.

12:35 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Look at Leon… My guess is his heart is going to get the better of him and we’ll have to drag the girl around.

12:36 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

She’s singing to a creature… the creature is just listening.

12:36 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Maybe I can sneak up on it and plant my knife in its skull?

12:37 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

So much for that plan, she stopped singing and the creature is approaching us. It’s not looking real happy.

12:37 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Die, beast, die!!!!

12:37 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

We can stand our ground but it’s a bit sketchy to be out in the open like this.

12:42 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Hell, it knocked over the church tower by itself. But now it seems to be retreating...

12:43 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

In its rage it knocked over part of the church. I think it might have been injured by the collapse.

12:43 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

Maybe not, but it’s retreating nonetheless. And we’re still alive.

12:43 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

I have to log off. It’s too dangerous here and I have to stay sharp.

2:19 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Leon_Darkside

The story continues… Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles available now.

2:19 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

I guess I’m gonna have to finish it off later

2:20 PM · Nov 18, 2009

@Jack_Darkside

Enough of these updates. I’ve got a job to do.

2:20 PM · Nov 18, 2009

[serxinns]

The Hero await but With a deadly fate: Chap 2!

Tw: torture, knife use, drugging drinks, pills, swearing and yandere behavior if you aren't comfortable with that stuff do not read thank you

You got up extra early to prepare yourself and Eri for the morning, you've been up since 4:00 AM training, exercising, and making breakfast and lunch for you and Eri you were so determined today and made sure you were prepared for everything

you even made her favorite bunny-shaped onigiri with a side of a small candy apple and her fav drink strawberry and kiwi punch all wrapped in her bunny themed bento!

"Morning..." eri called lazily rubbing her eyes to see you all smiling with her bento box in hand "Morning! Your bento is on the counter right there make sure you eat your breakfast!" Eri was surprised to see a whole dish of yummy breakfast choices, normally you would've fixed herself some toast with orange juice but this was a rare occasion when you go all out on breakfast!

you giggled as you heard her dash back up the stairs to the shower running a few thumps here and there and coming back down with her school uniform on happily eating breakfast "What's the occasion?" She said with a fluffy pancake I'm her mouth "Well today I got a big mission to catch some dangerous villains..." You said as you punched and kicked the punching bag testing out some new moves

"Oh.." Eri's face turned to worry when she heard dangerous in the words, she knows you fight villains almost every once a day or a week or 2 but hearing dangerous in that sentence made her worried that those people her father might come and take her and you away you notice the shift in her voice, you came up to her and crouch behind her

"Eri don't worry at all I won't ever let them take you away from me not in a million even if I end up in a horrible fate I will do anything to get you back your my little sister the best sister that I'll do anything protect you" she looked at you with a small smile and hugged you real tight "now..last one to the car has to pay ice cream!" Without any response, you rushed towards your car behind you was an angry eri calling you a cheater and playfully hitting you

Time skip to work

"Cmon y/n just one night out you'll have fun~" "fuck off Darrel" Your coworker Darrel was always been a pain to you at work, one time you caught him eyeing your rear with that lust in his eyes which made you hurl and wanting to punch him, another time he forces himself on you which caused you to back against a wall but before he tried to do anything else you smacked him and told him to fuck off before he could do anything so you tried to avoid him at all cost especially being alone with him

"Cmon sweetcheeks you always working and taking care of that little girl let go come have fun" his face was close to yours now you could smell that awful breath "She's my sister and my last answer is no fuck off" Darrel was getting pissed and yanked your hand pulling you further you were stunned but glared at him "Let.go." "Listen here you Cocky bi-"

"Y/n it's time to go on our mission! Darrell get back to work now! Mirko came in between the two of you the two of you stared at each other for a second and Darrel scoffed and walked away, you took a sigh of relief "Thanks" "No problem I honestly wanted to punch his TEETH" she said crackling her knuckles "it's not worth it lets just go" so the Two of you head off to your mission

While the two of you were heading to the destination in a disguised car Mirko started explaining the plan: you were gonna sneak into the warehouse using your invisibility, then you sneak over and knock out the villain guards and open the entrance quietly letting the heroes in and corner them

"You got all that?" You nodded determination in your eye the two of you made it to the secret warehouse the disguised car went into the woods behind the warehouse to make sure they didn't get caught, and that's where you made your move!

You used your quirk to turn invisible and climb on the roof, then cut an O shape on the roof carefully using your telekenies to float you down you saw the entrance guards and knocked them out quickly without anyone noticing "I'm in" you said in the small microphone

You then sneaked open up the until you heard them chatting among themselves "It's been so long I miss them and their blood so much" a high-pitched voice spoke out "Oh shut your complaining fangs we'll get them before those brats get to them 1st" you froze by your tracks decided to hide behind some big boxes carefully not to knock any down to hear their conversation there your eyes widen in fear

It can't be them...

"But we haven't seen n/n in 3-5 years I miss their cute little face when they get all scared and grumpy!" Twice said as Toga nodded excitedly "And their blood tastes so good!"

Why out of all people it had to be them!?

"Such a shame honestly...it would been hilarious if they were here, hiding somewhere behind the boxes," Shigaraki said with a wide twisted grin the comment made everyone turn their head curiously "what do you mean crusty?" Dabi's eyebrow raised forming a sadistic "your trying to tell us something aren't you?"

Wait what!? But ho-

Shigaraki could only grin and landed his eyes on where you were currently hiding leading the others to eye the spot

Oh fuck

You hurriedly tried crawling out of there but a blue fire was in your way " Found you~" you froze, panic building up from you when you realized that your quirk had worn off "Y/N WHATS GOING ON!?" you heard Mirko say in the mic but you couldn't say anything as the villainous group as they surrounded you suddenly you felt a sharp pain on your neck

..

"Y/N! Y/N!" Mirko kept yelling, pleaded you to say something anything but when she heard creepy laughter and someone saying "Kurogiri let's go" she instantly panicked she broke down the wall rushing over to your rescue.., but it was too late The last thing she saw was your unconscious body carried by a giggling Toga pinching your cheeks lastly going into the portal.... leaving a confused and angry Hero

"Wakey wakey.." you slowly opened your eyes seeing Toga right on top of you, you gasped and tried to squirm off of her "Aww that's not very nice especially if we haven't seen you got so long~" "Get. off. of. me." You managed to kick her off the bed "Ugh so mean!" She whined and glared at you "But I can forgive you since you're gonna be playing with me!"

"Now Toga you can't just be hogging them" you froze as you saw Shigaraki slowly walk up to you with a smirk "Hello there~ it's been a while hasn't it?" "Unfortunately" you spat, glaring daggers while he chuckled "can you stop toying with them Shigaraki they're already stressed then they are" kurogiri intervened while cleaning up the bar "why not its fun to toy with them while they're stress Giri maybe torturing them of they're bad will be even better"

you tried to back away from everyone surrounding you but realized there was a chain connected to the bed and quirk cuffs on both arms and legs while toga childishly giggled "We're gonna play dress up do our nails, hair and ooo do a pretend wedding!" She sighs dreamily talking about all the "fun" the two of you were gonna do while you stood there mentally gagging

"NO YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM YOU JUST HAVE TO" Eri said as she cried into Hawk's arms when she heard about your kidnapping she had a panic attack right then and there, thoughts all around the place, and empty sobs filled up the police station while hawks tried comforting her "I'm so sorry sweetheart we'll try the best we can to find your big sibling" the female cop tried reassuring her but eri kept sobbing, "Miss Mirko can you try and communicate with h/n(hero name) " "Yes but there's always no signal like the the place h/n is is probably either far away or has no connection" mirko walked back and forth questions filling her head

...

During your stay, it was honestly hell you were constantly getting dragged around by your captors, Shigaraki would always make you watch his game trying to make you pat his head and lay on your lap and if you tried to move him off he would get mad and aggressively puts your hand on his head

Dabi would taut you about escaping and mocking you he would "accidentally" say some things to get you pissed off but you didn't give him the satisfaction which on why you got some burnt marks, kurogiri was the only sane one trying to strike up a conversation and telling you fun little facts while the two of you silently watch the little TV from above it was nice to say atleast

But Toga and twice were the worst of all making you and twice wear frilly clothes with bows in your hair and take lots of pictures and putting them to what seems to be a collection of pictures she would do your hair in the most cutest way and hand feed you treats, twice would just stare adorably at the two of you his siblings just having so much fun!, but what made you snap was when she tried to get your blood which you snatch your arm away and smack her right in the face she paused and glared at you

"Now that was not nice!" She yelled her glaring piercing at you "I think you need a reminder of who you belong to and to keep those Danity little hands to yourself!" She dragged your body harshly, ignoring your kicking and screaming, she put you into a room and strapped your hands and feet to a chair she grabbed her knife from the counter and some cloth your eyes widened realizing what she's gonna do,

you tried to scream out but she slapped you as hard as she gave you a mark and quickly tied the cloth around your mouth "You better keep that mouth shut bun if you dont wanna make this punishment worse" She grabbed her knife once more adjust knife to where she wanted to mark you "Now let's begin.." the knife began stabbing your skin, you started wailing begging her to stop pleaded with her that you wouldn't do it again "hold still.." she grabbed your shoulder focusing on finishing her masterpiece,

"All right all done!" She skipped towards the counter again and grabbed a small mirror skipped over and aimed it at the masterpiece she had done, you widened as you saw an H.T drawn on your skin with a badly done heart underneath it, you slowly pulled your head down and cried miserably not wanting to see her or the damage she did

"aw now don't cry I forgive you" she softly said as she lifted your chin with her hand and smiled at you, you wanted to punch that smile off her face but were too tired "Uh oh it's time for a nap! Lemme clean you up and carry you to your bed! She grabbed a bunch of wet wipes and tissues and quickly cleaned you up changed you into some cutely little pajamas and carried you to your bed

Toga later came back with some snacks and drinks and a pill "You need to take this pill so even when you wake up you'll be too sleepy to try and escape!" You quickly tried squirming away but her legs pinned your arms down as she grabbed the pills and forced them in your mouth to swallow she was about to stuff it in until she heard Dabi calling her

"Ugh such a party pooper.." she grumbled she quickly got off of you and walked towards the cellar door "You better take that pill before I make you," she said as she shut the door you were beginning to plot a plan then it clicked you quickly grabbed the pills crushed them down with the cup and quickly poured them in her drink "I'm back!"

You quickly went back to your helpless position Toga glanced at the snack table and saw there was no pill "Did you swallow it?" You nodded not wanting to upset her" She looked around to see if you were lying and inspected your mouth checking if you had hidden it somewhere only to smile to know you weren't lying "Aww good job! You finally starting to be obedient" You rolled your eyes as she giggled "lets see who will have the last laugh.."

As the movie progresses you observe Toga as she eats and drinker her spike drink making sure that she drinks it all Toga notices how you are staring at her thinking you were prob falling in love with her which she blushes and dreamily sighs Shigaraki and Dabi later join you on this movie night even spinner and they all fell asleep that's where you began your escape

You squeezed out of Toga's grip and replaced it with a pillow as she hugged it closely you then sneaked all around the bar for the eyes you went behind the bar counter to no avail you were about to give up until you realized you had hair pins in your hair you swiftly grabbed it and pitch pocket the cuffs until they were completely off

you silently shoot up a fist saying yes but then remember that this wasn't over yet you weren't free just yet you activated your quirk and swiftly went over to the torture room you were in and saw that there was an open window You then stack some stuff up and climbed to the window and quickly jumped out not caring if the stuff crashed down you fled out in the streets far away from that place

you quickly took shelter in an abandoned parking lot which still had some cars surprisingly, you slumped yourself onto the floor quietly chuckling to yourself, and sighed in relief.. "you did it y/n!" you said as you smiled confidently and exhausted "you fucking-'

"Wait guys I think I heard something?"

You froze hearing that familiar bubbly voice you peaked out wishing and praying that it wasn't her or couldn't be but unfortunately, your theories were correct it was your old friend Mina Ashido signaling her other friends to come closer to where you were, you quickly hid behind a pillar praying they don't come any closer

A bunch of other familiar faces came to where Mina heard the noise "Oi what's the hold up?" An annoyed irritated voice rang in your ears and then a red hair, a blonde hair, and a dark hair came running right behind him

Bakugo Katsuki

Sero Hanta

Kirishima Elijiro

Denki Kaminari

Jirou Kyouka

Now you were totally screwed

"Mina heard a noise do you think someone overheard our conversation..." Kirishima said as he looked around Denki "prob did fuck.. Denki u said it was abandoned" Sero said shooting a glare at him "It was I checked and everything not a single homeless person!" He protested

"Let's just find the bastards and kill them we don't have time for this!" Bakugo said irritatedly the 5 of them began looking at where the sound was you were hiding behind a busted old car fingering crossing and praying that they wouldn't look behind this car but the world couldn't give you a break could they as you glanced again to see that him aiming for the car you were hiding you quickly activated your quirk and made a shield to protect you from the explosion when the car was gone all katsuki and everyone else saw you In a bubble shield protecting yourself

Mina started at you blankly haply tears coming from her eyes Kirishima was smiling widely as denkin and sero smug smiles wild katsuki was stunned

"Y/NNNN!!!" Mina said as she ran towards you and hugged you like it was no tomorrow

Oh fuck..

A/n: This was 2.7k words...wow what a record honestly

Notes: mentioned characters death, nothing major, sad, mentiones of threats of violence, this one is just dull really, i should really add to it ,hobie is here!,not proof read

tag list:@mvlanchqly

4:00 am

You woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and well rested, it's been years since you had that kind of good sleep, is this what revenge feels like? Now you understand why villains hold grudges so bad

With a small smirk, you got up and got ready for your day, you didn't have anything to do today, so a day in the lab it is then, your mood got better at the decision you made.

Then it fell back down

There he was, right where you left him, leaning on the wall eyes so puffy you doubted he could open them

Pathetic

With a small huff you entered the kitchen making yourself a drink, hoping that your day wouldn't be ruined

You were almost done when you heared him a take a sharp breath,

It took a moment for him to move, standing up and walking towards you, blocking your exit,, too much for hoping you think

"Good morning " his voice was hourse, raw, painful, how much did he cry

"morning" you replied standing in front of him drink in your hand, waiting for him to move

"..H-how did you sleep?" he asked, almost shy

"good, thanks for asking" you answered

With a slight flinch he backed up, giving you room to move and go to your lab

-

Miguel wantched you leave and then with a click, you were gone

He wondered how hard is it gonna be, if it isn't impossible

So now, sitting in the couch his brain trying to process what happened to him in those last few days

He killed his wife and daughter because he was selfish, destroying a universe in the process

He missed his actual wife's death when she waiting for him to return, he didn't get to say goodbye, he doesn't know if he deserve to do so

And you, with you cold eyes and colder replies, pouring acid into his wounds, he deserves it, he knows he does, but he wants to do right by you, try and fix whatever shattered glass left between you two, and it seems that it'll cut him every step of the way, and he doesn't mind one bit, as long as you don't wish him dead, that's all he wants, not forgiveness, not a relationship, not love, only a middle ground, to live with you without feeling the heavy air around

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the lab door open

"thanks Ben, I'll read it and take care of it" you said getting out, a screen showing that you're on a call with ben, another saving a report

"thanks dude! I'm sorry i didnt do it last night, i was so tired i fell asleep so quick!" the voice from the screen said

"don't worry about it I'll see you next time" you said hanging up..

Then a normal door opening and closing again,, the one to your room this time

He sighed, leaning back on the couch, staring at the ceiling above him

What wouldn't he give for forgiveness?

And then the door knocked...

He stood up to open it, and was shocked to find..

"hobart?"

In all his punky glory, with his wide and wild hair, shiny piercings, hobart brown was at his door step

He was smirking a cocky smile, one that fell the moment he laid eyes on the taller man, soon turning into a frown as he looked miguel up and down

Miguel was still confused..

Hobie recovered quick though, pushing past him and into the house, yelling "Ayo, smartass, where you at? You're never late!" into the house, it didn't surprise miguel that much, what did surprise him was you, coming out of your room, a playful frown on your face "I can get too occupied in a project from time to time" fixing you outfit

He stood there in the middle of the living room watching you walking around, collecting your, phone, wallet and anything else someone would need for an outing, hobie behind you talking about something or the other, he didn't really care

He knows he shouldn't ask, that he has no right to do so, but the words leave his mouth, forced.

"where are you going?"

-

You paused midway through your quick search for your stuff, looking at him, hobie also quieted down behind you, you know it a big deal when that happens

Hobie Brown was your closest friend,(he might say that someone earns such label when you have a bunch of friends, and then choose who you let in or not, which you don't, but you'll roll your eyes every time at it anyway) knows about your fathers, rather nostalgic trip he had for 12 years, only he and lyla do, he found out when came to loot in on your snacks and found you crying, rare, yes, but possible, he asked you what was wrong and you told him, what was a talk about your mother turned into your life story, he listened the whole time, only commenting after, he had alot of choice words, still does but you convinced him out of going to the universe your father was in and beating the crap out of him both for cheating and abandoning you

So now, the fact that he didn't have a "talk" with him is impressive, what's more so, is that he didn't answer miguel at the moment

Is he being funny?

No way he thinks that i must answer

Did he hit his head, is he insane?

Taking a breath, you look in his eyes, red irises, red and puffy "out." you said, continuing your tour around your house, then heading to the door where miguel stood, going past him and leaving, you could swear if you had a knife you could cut the tension he caused, as if he ever caused anything else to you

"be safe" he said

"as if they needed to hear that from you" hobie scoffed, slowly reaching his limits

"Come on we're gonna be late" you said, already out the door

sorry for not posting, just can't seem to write lately,but i promise to get them doe eventually!

[k-s-morgan]

How are you?

Another ask: it's been a while since I have read any of your updates on your stories, but I want to let you know that you're literally the only reason I still have Tumblr on my phone: to read your updates and know you're still as safe as you can be. I'll be praying for you and your family tonight, my best wishes for you ❤️

------

Thank you both so much for caring, anons! It means so much to me! And thank you everyone who left supportive notes under my post.

Fortunately, the attack ended well, our heroes from air defense system managed to destroy 74 out of 75 drones. Most of them targeted my city. It was the longest and the biggest attack by drones as of yet: 4 drones passed by my apartment, and moments like this are always the most terrifying. You hear the noise and you freeze, praying that it won't crash into your apartment or that the air defense won't intercept it right now (because the debris can cause a lot of destruction, too).

Fortunately, it wasn't the worst night for me. I fear missiles more than drones, and the level of noise was bearable. The worst thing was the fact that I lost so much of my time. The moment I tried to sleep, explosions woke me up, I was getting increasingly disoriented and panicked until I chose not to sleep at all. As a result, I had to stay up until 8 am, and then naturally I slept until 15:00 and I woke up feeling completely drained and useless. Considering that I've been finalizing my BB fic update, this upset me a lot, I basically lost the one day I counted on most.

I've almost finished editing the chapter now. With luck, I'll update in a few hours, but if something feels wrong and I need to do some more editing, you'll see the chapter tomorrow.

Thank you all again <3

[loquaciousquark]

I see @eponymous-rose doing these sometimes and I've always thought it was so much fun, so here's a Day in the Life of a clinical Associate Professor™. For reference, I've been seeing patients & teaching at my current university since finishing my residency almost a decade (!!!!!) ago.

9:30 - 10:00 - Precious precious office hours, spent answering emails from students, colleagues, and a guest speaker from a national organization I'm trying to coordinate an event for in two weeks. Everything's lined up except the venue (all our regular lecture halls are booked), and of course we discover this just outside his window to refund his airline tickets. Rats.

10:00 - 12:00 - Clinical lab! I'm coursemaster for two complex lecture/lab courses in the spring (protip: never let admin do this to you), so right now I spend most of my week in the classroom. Friday AMs are my advanced procedures lab, & today the students are doing intradermal and subcutaneous injections of the forearm and eyelid. This course can be really scary for them, so I go to a lot of effort to get them mentally and emotionally prepped, practicing approach and needle manipulation, etc. All of them do wonderfully, and even after cleanup and taking the biohazard bag down to disposal, I'm out on time.

12:00-1:00 - Guest faculty candidate lecture! Our full-time faculty has been down by about five people for a few years, and we also have three more of our remaining full-timers out on medical leave until late February, so we are hurting for help. This applicant gives a phenomenal talk on diversity and optometric scope across the several continents she's taught in over the last twenty years. It's an extraordinary talk and I honestly learn more geography than I expected.

1:00 - 2:30 - Lecture! Advanced procedures lecture to the third-year class, usually the only barrier between them and their weekend. I really like today's lecture and it goes well, and even the chronic dozers in the side seats stay awake.

2:30 - 2:45 - Intended to be an interview/tour with the faculty applicant, except here comes the first wrench. Just as she gets to my office, the colleague delivering the speaker lets me know she's having tech trouble with her Zoom-in guest lecturer and also there's a very upset student in the hall outside the classroom. I go down with her right away; student is okay, just got some very bad news, and when I'm sure they're settled with their friends & support system I help the colleague with the tech.

2:45-3:10 - Tour finally happens! The students we encounter are chipper and cheerful (not always the case in practical season!).

3:10-4:00 - Meeting with my clinic coordinator to prep for next week's practicals. My other big course this semester caps with a high-stakes clinical entrance exam; in essence, the students must perform a complete, independent eye examination from start to finish, and they can't enter clinic with "real" patients until they pass. The setup & scheduling for this practical (which runs over three weeks) is probably the most complicated logistical nightmare of my year. However, my coordinator is amazing, and within the hour she has a detailed list of both her tasks and mine and will report back as each prep step is done.

4:00-5:00 - Desperately trying to finish this schedule, answer my most urgent calls from patients, and finish some time-sensitive grading. Another colleague comes by and asks what I thought of the guest speaker, and when I say I didn't get much time in my interview with her, she suggests I tag along to the faculty dinner with her tonight at 5:45. A fantastic idea! I'll just wear what I have on, yeah?

The faculty dinner is at a five-star steakhouse. I'm wearing scrubs and a pullover.

It's okay, I have time to make it home and change! I can make it!

5:15 - I accidentally overwrite 90% of my completed schedule with an old, mostly blank copy, and don't realize it until after saving multiple times (I was on a different tab in the spreadsheet).

5:15 - 5:45 - Meticulously recreate the schedule as quickly as I can. I've already emailed out some assignments to the students, so I can't start over from scratch (which would have honestly been faster). Finally finish & send out the details to needed parties.

5:45 - 6:35 - race home, feed the dog, change into slacks and my favorite blazer, race out to the steakhouse.

6:35 - 8:30 - I arrive just before the salads come out, hallelujah! I have the best steak I've ever eaten in my life, as well as have a fantastic conversation with the candidate and the other faculty. The time honestly flies by, and when I realize what time it is I'm feeling very guilty about leaving the dog. Still, I'm sure she'll be a fantastic fit for the program, and it's honestly a relief to have my questions about some of her experience answered.

8:50 - home at last, at last!

8:51 - I discover my fly has been unzipped all night.

8:52 - 9:00 - I indulge in paroxysms of shame until I rationalize that the restaurant was incredibly dim, I was sitting the whole time, and my undies are also black. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

9:00 - now - hot bath, a book of poetry, and a double bourbon. After today, I feel like I've earned it.

[memberment]

Good evening

Guys I just got home from work and proofread everything I needed to including this next Dandelion chapter and I'm trying so hard not to just fucking SOB over it.

I hate it here I want out LMFAOOOOOOO THIS IS SO SAD WHY DID I WRITE THIS FR

10:59 update......

I'm thinking about an absolutely diabolical twist for the Trin series(it doesn't actually change the story in any way, if anything it actually makes it make so much more sense). Like, I've been ruminating on it since last night but idk if it's gonna throw people off. But at the same time like part twos and threes never do as good anyways so do I really even care?? Like, I'm just out here telling stories in fanfic font bc I would rather throw myself in the street than make OCs and not share my fun little stories.

I think I may commit to it.

I don't wanna say it on here though bc it's one of those plot twists you get will not forget even though part three is like FOREVER out.

The more I think about it the more I wanna do it. Someone tell me I should do it.

Oh my god I am shutting up and finishing reading Dandelion, y'all will hear my virtual screams in approximately one and a half business hours.

(11:43) I'm actually fucking sobbing and I didn't even start the last few chapters. Like, I'm actually crying over this. It's not funny.

(12:00) Never by mag lo coming on while I'm finishing up reading this is not funny. I'm devastated. I hope you all hate me after this oh my god I feel like I just ruined my own life. WHY IS IT SO MUCH WORSE AFTER BEING DONE WITH THIS FIC FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS. Jesus Christ. Yeah. No more angst from me for a long while. I'm banned.

(12:20) Me skimming through tags on fics debating if I want to pick up something new. Everything being totally normal. Suh happy. Trying not to stew in my own misery. And then I see such a vile tag my stomach twists and now I'm just like okay I'll go fuck myself I guess I'll go write or do my homework. I'm sorry, I adore ao3 and I'm never gonna be a hater, BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE WILD. LIKE I AM TALKING SO BAD I'M ACTUALLY CONSIDERING DOING MY HOMEWORK OVER THAT. LIKE I ACTUALLY JUST WIPED THE TEARS OFF MY FACE AND GOT OVER HOW SAD I WAS BECAUSE OF HOW GENUINELY SHOCKED I WAS. Like wow oh wow.

Anyways. Updates here if there's gonna be any. Also Dandelions up if anyones reading this LMAO

It's 1:40 in the morning and the beginning of Morning Glory is making me fucking unwell. I was not joking when I made that joke about like ten dreaded weeks of angst, Jesus Christ.

(2:12) This is my second time posting this exact part. Like I know I've posted this exact part. But I seriously love Christophe and all of his dialogue with my whole heart.

(4:31) I do not recall making Dova this tragic and I'm literally about to sob over him. LIKE WHY???? WHY DID I DO THAT??? WHY ARE HIS LITTLE SUBTLE BITS OF STORYLINE SO ACTUALLY PAINFUL AS THE STORY GOES ON????? (I am allergic to happiness I am my own canon event at this point)

(4:48) THE ABSOLUTE DEVASTATION THAT COMES WITH WANTING MORE STORY BUT IT SIMPLY NOT EXISTING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT IS DEVASTATING.

(5:02) Welp. I'm ruined and am now compelled by god to start working on Morning Glory again. We're at 73k rn. And only two chapters that aren't the prologue are under 4k. That's fucking terrifying. Like I have 17 minus the prologue rn. WE ARE LITERALLY THREE CHAPTERS AWAY FROM THE FOURTH OF JULY. THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ANOTHER 16/17 OF SUMMER ALONE. AND THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT LEAST ANOTHER 14 AFTER THAT. LIKE THE 14 ARE THE PLANNED SPECIFIC EVENT CHAPTERS. BRUH. WHY DID I DO THIS????

regret.

regret is all I feel.

but I will push through.

(7:38) before I go to bed I will just say I am at 75.3k. I had no idea how I would even get close to 4k on a birthday chapter where the group effectively decided to just stay home and hang out. But now there is like 1.5k of them playing muffin time. It's wild. I love it. GOOD NIGHT.

[leftistscum]

I AM CURSING YOU FUCKBAGS TO 1000 YEARS OF OWOFIED NONSENSE. I HAVE TO SUFFER, NOW YOU HAVE TO SUFFER WITH ME.

Update:

All this effort and it doesn't even work. I'm not mad, just disappointed. Current theory is that I didn't include an important part of it in the while loop. The bot scans new posts, and I'm not gonna re-post this for the second time. It's only been actually tested two or three times including this try, and I'm keeping this as a sort of devlog. Update 2:

I restarted the OAuth apps that I made earlier today (an OAuth callback server to catch the keys, and another OAuth thing to generate the Authorization verifier). I worked almost all day to get these two to work together. The API ended up sending this error, and I don't know what it means, but it doesn't throw any errors client-side. Here's the error it throws. {'meta': {'status': 429, 'msg': 'Limit Exceeded'}, 'response': [], 'errors': [{'title': 'Limit Exceeded', 'code': 0, 'detail': 'Minor hiccup. Try again.'}]} Like, okay, great. Now I gotta actually look at the documentation and find out what this magic gibberish means, because this could relate to all those times I tried to authenticate, OR I hit the daily limit on posts seen by my bot, which I highly doubt. Update 2.5 after some research, I've learned absolutely nothing. That error code is a giant ball of nothing that basically says I exceeded a rate limit, but doesn't give any explanation as to which rate I exceeded. Thanks, Tumblr. At least Reddit threw client side errors that you didn't have to go to a broken API console to see. Fuck all of you, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Side note: I am surviving off one breakfast pizza from Casey's, one Pipeline Punch, one grape flavored 3D, 4mg Estradiol, 50mg Spironolactone, and I currently have 100mg Progesterone dissolving in my stomach, which at this point, might actually kill me. It's only 9:36 at the time of writing this, but it feels like I've been working on this for days. This is to say that I may have missed something super obvious, and if that's the case, well, I'll leave tomorrows problems to tomorrow's me.

Update 3

Just woke up and re-ran all the assorted programs just to get a fresh start. I'm still getting that error code, but more importantly, my access token and secret changed? I'm not expert when it comes to stuff like this, but I though tokens and secrets are constant and specific to apps. I can't actually test this thing until the API lets me through. Update 3.5

Found the error code. It wasn't way too hard, but it means my bot probably did something way too much yesterday and I have no idea what. It works on the server's clock and goes by callendar day. This means that if a bot hits the error code at 11:59 PM, it can hit it again at 12:00 AM. For an error 429 to happen, any one of the following has to trigger it.

300 API calls per minute, per IP address.

18,000 API calls per hour, per IP address.

432,000 API calls per day, per IP address.

1,000 API calls per hour, per consumer key.

5,000 API calls per day, per consumer key.

250 new published posts (including reblogs) per day, per user.

250 images uploaded per day, per user.

200 follows per day, per user.

1,000 likes per day, per user.

10 new blogs per day, per user.

20 videos uploaded per day, per user.

60 minutes of total video uploaded per day, per user.

So I can't test this until the server's calendar deems it a new day Update 4

It still doesn't work, but I am one step closer. Because of Tumblr's broken-ass console, I've had to find an alternate way to get an OAuth key. It turns out I was using a temporary access key, which is why it changed when I re-ran everything. I had to do this by using two other scripts. One of them is Tumblr's interactive console on Github , and the other one was a Yaml parser because boy do they like to encrypt. This has been my morning so far. Day two and 5 scripts later, just to finally have something that I should've had at the start.

Update 4.5

I FINALLY GOT AN API RESPONSE!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Update 4.5.5

I have implemented a feature that makes the thing wait for a second then search for any comments with a timestamp older than the last time it waited and has the right keyword in the 196 tag. I have obviously accidentally wasted all my API tries today, but testing begins again tomorrow. You will fear my wrath soon enough. Update 5

Decided to check up on the bot, and ran straight into this wall of text. It looks like blog info? Some of those links take me to profile headers. This isn't a static thing either, it updates every 20 seconds like clockwork. Because I made it update every 20 seconds like clockwork. I think this means it's testing time. Wish me luck. Breaking News. Didn't work, but we're a lil bit closer. Again.

[imhereforscm]

Hate to do this to you, but could you rank the SCM gods from favorite to least favorite?? Sorry! <3

*SOBBING LOUDLY AT 6:00 AM* OKAYಥ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ಥ *SNIFFLING*

1. Scorpio

He's my bias, my bae, my boo and my little submissive sweetie pie. Pretty sure the reputation I got on Tumblr is "The Scorpio-obsessed, crazy lady of the woods", so I don't think I need to elaborate much on this.

(and now this is when it begins to hurt.... I promise I love all the gods.... I don't dislike ANY of them, but I need to fulfill your wish, anon.)

2. Huedhaut

Ah, look what the cat dragged in!｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡ The dude I ALMOST picked when I first downloaded the game(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠) Which makes it harder to know that I was his past lover, because it's like- "I ALMOST picked you. I ALMOST gave you happiness. And I didn't do it."

But I'm not regretting Scorpio AT ALL, LOL!

3. Dui

I want to adopt him. Who can I talk to so we can negotiate the adoption? You, @acefaun ?? Are you the one in charge?? Doesn't matter that he's a fully grown adult. He's my child. I'm a mother of 3, okay?? My children are Georgiana drom pride and prejudice, Adele from Jane Eyre and Dui. Dui would blatantly obviously give me to drink poison and I'd be like- "Awwww, thank you!(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)" JUST BECAUSE IT'S DUI. I'M STILL MAD AT HIYORI FOR SLAPPING HIM IN THAT ONE AU STORY AND MAKING HIM CRY (I'm pretty sure he cried. I think Scorpio said it) ("if you were a goddess: Scorpio")

4. Ichthys

I roast him too much, but damn him, I do love him. He can scare me shitless at times, because I'm like- "I know merely stepping onto this floor with get me in trouble, but I'm blaming you, just so you know" but he's such a good boy｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡ He's like SWEATIE PIE IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY!! I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM!!!! LOOK AT THAT ONE PICTURE OF HIM EATING!!!

(looking closely, my top 4 are all guys I can dom lmao)

5. Krioff

Listen up.... We'd have a brother-sister relationship! Like- he's so sweet and relatable. Idk what else to say, he's very dear to me.😭 I just wanna give him a hug and ice cream.

6. Leon

Yet another guy I roast to the moon and back, but damn his mom it, do I really like him. At first I genuinely hated his ass, but getting deeper into the game, I realized how wonderful he is. He's altruistic, his caring, protective. He's good at his job, just lazy lol, which becomes a bit cute and endearing if you look at it long enough. He's a small, whiny oversized baby(⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥(⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥

Disclaimer!! We passed the middle and we're heading for the bottom!! That doesn't mean I don't like those gods. I love all of them a lot!! But I'm trying to sort them in order of which I like them.

7. Partheno

This guy's ✨✨FABULOUS✨✨ He's bestie material!!!ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ✨✨✨✨ We'd be B E S T I E S with that man! We're both dirty kiddos, so we'd vibe well😩😩 I can also see Partheno and I enjoying setting people up, if we see people with good connection, but they just DON'T make the freaking move. So if you want to see you and your god(s) together, but you're shy to tell him/them, hit us up(⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠)🤙

8. Zyglavis

He oozes respect, but I wouldn't hesitate to call him a camel if he disrespected me, because BOI no one disrespects me(⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ But yeah *heavy breathing* look at that hair(⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠)

9. Tauxolouve

Another dude I'd be friends with. (See how I vibe with all the dirty ones? Lol) So to all the Tauxolouve anons filling up my inbox, I'm here to make your dreams come true and set you up with this man ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱*wiggling eyebrows at you*

10. Karno

He's not getting paid enough. I'm telling you.

11. Teorus

His zero sense of direction is so relatable. I literally lost the door to a store two days ago and had to call my best friend, like- "help, idk where the door is. Where are you? It feels like I lost my mom at the grocery store."

12. Aigonorus

All I'm asking is for his goats heralds to not try and eat the cacti I'll be getting soon. Just because they're plants, doesn't mean they ought to eat them, alright??? >:C 1) they'll kill my babies 2) they'll get hurt themselves with the spikes as well, so they're still not winning

That was vile, anon............... But, yeah, like I said many times in this post, I love all the gods.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

(it's 7:00 am... If I made any typos, I cannot be help responsible)

[krankittoeleven]

Rules: list eight shows for your followers to get to know you better.

Tagged by @ainulindaelynn. This took a minute cause I couldn't think of more than 3 shows. Most of the TV I "watch" is just on in the background while I'm doing almost anything else except reading or writing.

EDIT: after posting i realized I completely forgot about Start Trek TNG. Unforgivable on my part.

M*A*S*H - I've still never figured out why this resonated with me as much as it did (I mean, aside from the obvious), especially since the last episode aired when I was a year old. There were a lot of reruns, though, growing up, so I guess it just stuck at some point. I'm not sure if it still hold true now, but there was a time in the 90s/early 00s where there was an episode of M*A*S*H airing somewhere in the world every 30 minutes. Impressive that is resonated so clearly, everywhere.

True Detective (Season 1) - I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is the single best season of a tv show, ever. The other seasons are good, but they don't have anything to do with each other aside from a call back or two, so I feel fine about treating it as its own thing. If you like detective/procedural with a light supernatural bent, plus a cult inspired by your friendly neighborhood King in Yellow, well this is the show for you.

Vikings Valhalla - strangely I haven't even watched Vikings yet, and this is a great example of mutuals being great advertisers because one of mine was hyperfixating on King Canute and I was like 👀👀 who are you? So yeah, I'm watching this for the "wrong" reasons. LOL (SRSLY THOUGH ALL I SEE IS A LIVE ACTION UBBA *snickers*

4. Hannibal - I was hooked from the beginning, before they started throwing all that sexual tension around (not complaining tho lol). This was one of the few shows that my ex partner and I watched together all the time, our tastes and schedules often conflicted, but we were always around for the murder husbands. XD

5. The Haunting of Hill House - another one the X-misses and I used to watch together. I really enjoyed this one though it took us forever to get through it because we'd stop every few minutes to figure out if we'd spotted a ghost or not. LOL I quiet enjoyed it overall, and I also very much like how they changed things up over the original novella. I like Shirley Jackson, but I think some of her other stuff is better.

6. Any Dinosaur TV show - especially Walking With Dinosaurs and Dinosaur Planet and Prehistoric Planet.

7. Severance - This show knocked me out. I heard about it on Tumblr one day and I'd binged it all within the next couple days. LMAO What nonsense I love it.

8. Good Omens & Sandman - putting these two together because they fill the same space in my heart: respectable adaptations of things I grew up with and am very fond of and I'm glad to see getting a wider audience/more attention/more love. :D

I will tag @brasideios @macavitykitsune @theinkandthesea @vdk-hellscape and anyone else that wants to cuz I'm not sure who has or hasn't been hit by this one yet.

[gren-arlio]

We're finally back on schedule! Episode 7 is now out!

I did a poll for when I should release this and it ended in a draw. Go figure. So I'm going to post this now and then post another next week. Seems like we'll be back to normal for the time being.

Fun fact: This episode was actually the first I ever did. It began this whole escapade, so thank Witch and Black Kikimora for that.

Oh, and congrats to Witch for getting 2nd place in a Puyo Quest popularity poll. There's that too. She's a lunatic in this game, chasing Schezo for...his clothes. Trust me it makes sense...later.

Speaking of, here's the portraits, only 3 new ones, since you didn't fight Black Kikimora when you first met her.

And the video itself:

Timestamps:

Intro: (0:00)

Black Kikimora Midboss: (4:45, defeat is at 6:43.)

Witch Boss Fight and a Lot of "Misunderstandings": (8:35, defeat is at 13:04)

Orb Gotten: (15:15)

I think we'll be back to schedule after this episode. Oh, and a big thing, a Madou Monogatari game was translated yesterday! It's Madou 1 (or Madou PC98,) and since I'm one to celebrate people's wins, I'll link it here. Check it out when you can!

With that, enjoy.

Intro: (0:00)

Black Kikimora: (Who I'll call Biki again.)

... ... ...

Schezo:

Hey, you can't get into the attraction?

Biki:

You can come in.

Schezo:

Hey, where are you...

What kind of usher leaves her guests to enter first?

Biki:

Shut up! Shut up and let me in!

Schezo:

Exactly. She's a Jigoku-mimi, isn't she? (Jigoku-mimis are also called "Hell Ears," often hearing secrets or quiet things, usually bad ones they don't wish to hear.)

[0:35 is the iconic "Alright, let's go inside!"]

-----

Black Kikimora Midboss: (4:45)

Schezo:

What're you doing here? Are you cleaning?

Biki:

(Damn, I'm almost ready...) [You can replace with Dang if need be.]

Schezo:

Let me through.

Biki:

Well...I can't.

Schezo:

!? Then I'll just pass by force.

---

Black Kikimora Defeat: (6:43)

Biki:

Damn, you're pretty good... [Again, could be replaced with Dang.]

Schezo:

...Hmm, you're really making me work for this.

----

Skeleton-Tea Time: (7:30)

Skeleton-T:

Hey, you're here too.

Schezo:

It's you again...

Skeleton-T:

Hmm~ Tea is good no matter where you drink it!

You drink too!

[Text appears saying

Accept <-

Refuse]

Schezo:

Well, since we're here, let's have a drink.

(Schezo's HP and MP have been restored!)

Skeleton-T:

What do you think?

Schezo:

It was pretty good.

Skeleton-T:

Right, right? Of course it is.

But today's been an unusually busy day.

Schezo:

Guests?

Who else is going to try these attractions besides me?

Skeleton-T:

Oh, there was a girl with long blonde hair.

Schezo:

Long blonde hair? That's not Arle or Rulue.

Uh...who the hell is that?

I don't know who that is.

-----

Witch Boss Fight and a Lot of "Misunderstandings": (8:35)

Witch:

Ah!

Schezo:

Hey, what?

Witch:

... ...

Schezo:

I don't know what you said!

Witch:

Ah, you...

Schezo:

Me?

Witch:

You...I want you... (Or you can say "I want it...". This'll be for almost every line unless mentioned.)

Schezo:

H-hey, what?

Witch:

I just can't help it. I want you.

Schezo:

Wait, what-?

Witch:

I'm begging you.

Schezo:

(W-What am I suppose to do?

This is the very first time I've dealt with someone like this!

Calm down, calm down! This has to be a trap, I know it!)

Witch:

I want it! (This is supposed to be an It.)

Schezo:

Uhh...

Witch:

Your black...

Schezo:

Black?

Witch:

Your black clothes!

Schezo:

Oh. My clothes, huh?

Witch:

I can't help myself. I want it. (Also an It.)

If you won't give it to me, I'll just rip them off!

Schezo:

Woah! Wait, no, don't do that!

---

Witch Defeat (and also the Orb getting): (13:04 for the Defeat quote, and 15:15 for the orb.)

Witch:

I'm sorry~! (She isn't. She's gonna keep doing this. Trust me.)

Schezo:

Ha! That was a bad idea. (I assume to Witch.)

[After that Schezo finds the orb at the timestamp.]

Woah, there's an orb in here. Is it the black one?

Only 1 more orb left, and I'm done!

-----

Mysterious Voice Appearance: (15:40)

Mysterious Voice:

Finally, you cleared 5 attractions, but yet...

Schezo:

Hm? It's you...

Mysterious Voice:

Let's just say it's a masterpiece. (Or "it's incredible.")

Schezo:

If it were up to me, this place wouldn't be here. It's just a kids playground.

Mysterious Voice:

...Well, let's leave it at that.

Schezo:

You're such an annoying guy, always bothered by every single thing. So what did you want to say this time? (Translator called the voice a prick, which...idk man.)

Mysterious Voice:

I'll tell you where the last orb is.

Be thankful.

Schezo:

Well...since you're here, I might as well ask.

Mysterious Voice:

If you don't want to hear it, then I won't tell you.

Schezo:

I don't care. I don't need your help.

Mysterious Voice:

Ugh...Why don't you stop and be honest?

Schezo:

What, you want to tell me that badly? Why don't you just say it?

Mysterious Voice:

... ... ...

I left it for you, deep in the Puyo Puyo Dungeon. Now go get it.

Schezo:

You left it there? Who the hell are you!?

Mysterious Voice:

Are you really that curious about my identity?

Schezo:

No, not at all. I don't care anymore.

Mysterious Voice:

... ... ...

Schezo:

Well, I think we're done with this boring idle talk.

I'll go get that orb you left in the Puyo Puyo Dungeon.

Mysterious Voice:

Well, you better hurry up, or else someone else might beat you to it.

Schezo:

Who do you think you're talking to? That's none of my concern, hah.

Bulletin:

Heh heh heh, the Puyo Puyo Dungeon isn't over yet.

For those with 6 orbs, a more dangerous route will open up.

Oh yeah, for you, I've made the monsters that appear much more powerful.

It's tough, it's dangerous, it's perfect. A thrilling and dangerous experience.

I hope you enjoy it.

And that's all. Probably my favorite episode so far, might even edit the Puyo Nexus to add the info. Thanks for reading.

Taste of terror

Part 4

Vivienne groaned as she woke up, her head hurt. Most likely because she forgot to take out her hairstyle before falling asleep on the couch, another thing that made her back hurt.

As she sat up she checked the time. '3:00 AM' the too bright screen glaring back at her.

She sighed got up, might as well get ready, she was going to go to her shop in a few hours anyway.

Vivienne walked to her kitchen, taking out the tie from her hair. She should put away her.. groceries...

Where the fuck were her groceries, she was sure she put them on the kitchen table. She quickly walked to her fridge and opened it.. they were all organised? She never put them there. Did someone break in??

She quickly walked to her front door. Unlocked. Shit, she locked it quickly and looked around to see if anything else was out of place.

....

She was panting, she had almost overturned her whole house. Nothing was out of place that she could tell.

She looked at the time, she had to get ready.

She sighed and begrudgingly went to her wardrobe to get clothes.

She was going to ask around later if anyone saw something.

...

Vivienne had her head in her hands as she sat down, there were no customers actively looking at any of her pastries at the moment.

There was a gnawing anxiety churning in her body, crawling up her spine and settling in the back of her head– was it going to happen again? She trusted her mind and she knew she didn't just forget that she put the groceries away. Not to mention the white rose that was on her door step.

She heard the bells of the door jingle, she lifted her head and there he was again, Cheshire was walking in. She stood up and went to counter. Smoothing out her pastel pink apron as she got there.

"How can I help you Mr. Blackwood?"

Her voice was strained to a polite tone, which she didn't like–as usual.

"You can call me by my name you know?" He tilted his head as he looked down at her, taking out his wallet and beginning to take out money.

Like hell she was going to call him by his first name, they weren't nearly that close. Maybe in his brain they were but not by her standards, no fucking way.

"I'd rather not. So- how can I help you?"

She could see his eyebrows furrow slightly, ha. He was annoyed.

"I'm here for the cakes, I'm sure you made them?"

Vivienne simply nodded before going to the back to get them.

Once she gotten them both on the counter she watched as Cheshire inspected them.

"Well, you really did your part, hm bonnie?" He said as he put the money on the counter, he furrowed her eyebrows as he said that. "Bonnie?" She questioned but Cheshire just chuckled and shook his head slightly. His eyes straying to the white rose that was on the end of the counter in the vase.

"Nice rose, wasn't there last time. A gift?"

She pursed her lips, keeping her tongue behind her teeth, she didn't want to make any unnecessary comments.

"Maybe, maybe not" she said simply as she took the money, counted and put into the register.

She didn't look at him in that moment but she could sense his annoyance, probably because she wasn't telling him anything. Why would she? He was probably the creep that broke in her house.

"Well. Thanks for the cakes, I'll be going now" she only hummed as a response as he took them and walked out of the pastry shop and into his car. It seemed to be a black jeep, she didn't pay much attention.

....

A few hours passed and Vivienne had sold more of her pastries than usual and she was happy.

However that didn't last long, darkness immediately settled in her eyes and especially in her thoughts as she saw who came in. Clyde.

Oh how she hated that perv, she wished she could just curse him out but he left big tips. And she needed the money.

"How can I help." Vivienne hated him more than Cheshire, and that was something.

"Oh well, I came here to get two short cakes and hot chocolate. You think you can do that for me sweets?" She hated his voice, and even more those nasty petnames he gave her.

"Yes. I'll be with you shortly" her voice was so strained, she knew that if she let up on her restraint she would curse him and the future generations, if there even would be a future generation that comes from him.

She sighed and furrowed her brows as she turned away to make the hot chocolate.

Once she did she put two strawberry shortcakes on the plate and brought it to where Clyde was sitting. She grimaced as she saw his hair, it was a wolfcut but god could he wash it once in a while? It was so visible, especially since it was dyed purple.

"Here you go.. sir." She wanted to gag as she talked with the minimum politeness as possible.

"Oh thank you, I'll savour every bite!"

Her eyebrow twitched slightly, oh how she wished she could violently end him.

She promptly walked away and went behind the counter. Her headache was even worse now.

She sat down on the chair she had behind the counter which she was very grateful for in this moment.

...

Clyde was at the counter now, holding the money for her to take, ugh he probably wanted to touch her hand. This guy had some big dreams, he must be delusional - she literally had to look down at him, she didn't know his height but it didn't help that he was slouching. It seemed to be a perpetual habit of his. 

She took the money, she didn't even have to count it she knew he would want her to keep it or whatever.

Finally, he left. She let out a sigh and tilted her head back now she didn't need to listen to him yap at her counter about some anime or manga he read.

And Vivienne knew it was probably just some sort of fanservice. Ugh she needs a nap after closing up the shop.

And yes The fleets are heating up to 95% tonight sometime they say they're almost at 85% so really we think they'll get there and they might start to 90 and just sit there heated up eventually someone will say to something that will be pseudo empire trying to take it back I'll see her now and eventually they won't be around Trump will fight to bja directly and the minority warlock will fight the pseudo empire no is that we think they'll be gone right now they're freaking their way towards 3.9% and their whole group and afraid of tons of people.

---we're going to have a similar pattern of bursts as every night at the quarter mile and the Charlotte county Park is going to drop tonight we believe fully but the quarter mile they will all five I can hissing and spitting at 9:00 p.m. violently and they will siphon and it will almost go below the water lying and start dragging out from sea and that's plenty of pool so it's going to be Steven looking all over the thing like a train and the heat and the suction from the spelling of the water has turns into gas mostly but really it's steam and it's some gas and some air not much and water but tiny droplets the last thing up into the air very high it's going to pull so much salt water in we Believe it'll be full in the morning and it will start erupting and it is why he's up there is one reason the other is if the others go off 4 miles is better than nothing it's not a great deal of distance but positioning is important if you're allowing the coastline and particles flap is not a big deal they're too small and they disintegrate but the entire plume goes right up the coast and that's what we want to avoid the rest of it is deteriorating with salt water and it's opposite and they do the opposite and they think it and they're horrified later when it's backwards and it causes a lot of problems that's tonight we're expecting it to be at 11:00 p.m. 2.5 12:00 p.m. 2.6 1:30 p.m. 2.7 245 am. 2.8 and 3:45 am. That would be a 3.0 and that is pretty high it's going to cause an issue when it lands it only lasts for 5 or 10 minutes but they're pretty sick already and they're going to be asking him to get out of the hard way and it's going to say where to give me a destination for three weeks figure you can't do anything. And he's not really happy about sitting in that much of it but tonight and today there probably 2 million tonight they'll be there about 3 million and the after effects will take another 3 million of them and it'll be exponential and people notice that nobody is survived here going to stop pulling out for real and all of them and they're having trouble staying here and to say it too what we're going to losers so that's happening it's happening right now we expect the show at harbor circle to drop probably about 2:30 a.m. and it'll drop about 2 ft not the whole way. If it doesn't drop 2 ft it will probably drop one foot. And this other thing is going but this is what's happening just one more item and it's fairly good sized

---we have people are ornery but really there's something important we need to have some peace in our son's life and we're working at this is horrendous it's going to horrendous day everyday and now it's disgusting it's basically potentially homeless all the time when you keep saying it and what he was supposed to do now we know what to do

You like to pair Trump down but he's got these cities and ships he wants to pull out and these idiots initiatives are screwing around with them because they have people who are attached if the ships go they start getting rid of them it's not really too far fetched for them to do it it's going on right now

More later yes
