PARS 2017 | Day 3: Baby Animals | In which Isfan adopts two puppies and Gieve is feeling left out.

Title: I’m Yours (and so are they) Day/Prompt: Day 3 – Baby Animals Author: ryukoishida Summary: Isfan adopts two Kugsha puppies from an animal shelter, and Gieve may or may not be jealous of the two canines all because he’s not getting enough attention from his boyfriend. [Idol/Musician AU] Pairing(s)/Character(s): Isfan/Gieve (established relationship) Rating: T Warning: N/A A/N: I need to write me some silly fluff.

-

He taps on the screen to exit the IM window and stuffs his mobile phone into his back pocket with a soft sigh.

Gieve chews his lower lip, a little frustrated but mostly deep in thought as he considers his next course of action.

He doesn’t like going over to his boyfriend’s apartment unannounced without a phone call or even a text ahead, mostly due to the nature of their work. They are both very busy men with densely-packed schedules: Isfan is currently switching between attending meetings for his upcoming solo concert and spending his evenings at the studio recording for a new single, while Gieve is hectic with dance rehearsals and fan meetings. Often times, they won’t even be back in their respective homes until ungodly hours in the early morning.

“Gieve, you’re on in two minutes,” a backstage staff murmurs to him as she rushes by.

He nods and flashes a quick grin at her to show that he’s heard, but his head is still focused on the texts he’s just received, so he hardly notices when the flustered young woman trips over the tangle of wires on the ground.

With a pang of guilt, Gieve wonders if Isfan is meeting someone else — someone he’s unwilling to disclose. But he shakes his head fiercely the moment the troubling thought enters his mind, a low, aggravated growl starting from his throat, and he forces that dark, irrational swirl of suspicion away with the more positive reminder that he’ll at least get to see Isfan on the television tonight.

A few weeks ago, Isfan filmed an interview with one of the most highly-rated talk shows to promote his upcoming concert, and Gieve will not miss it for anything — except maybe for a slim chance of seeing the man in the flesh, but Gieve knows that he’s just setting himself up for disappointment. If Isfan is explicitly declining his invitation, Gieve doesn’t expect the singer-songwriter to change his mind; that’s one thing he’s come to learn after dating the man for over half a year.

He’s tempted to try his luck, maybe sending his lover a risqué photo of a choice part of his body once he’s done with his current job just to taunt him and remind him what he’s been missing out. He deliberates on the pros and cons of the idea for perhaps five seconds before he decides that he really doesn’t want to risk angering his boyfriend and delaying the possibility of a date in the near future.

Isfan is many, many things — and Gieve adores every single facet of him — but he doesn’t take crude jokes well at all, and Gieve’s learned that the hard way.

Anyway, he’ll have to figure this out later because he has fans to meet and songs to perform in front of an avid and enthusiastic audience.

-

“Isfan, darling, you know I adore you and I’d do anything for you, but you’re killing me here,” he moans into his phone using his best sultry and petulant drawl that — despite the overdramatic flair of it — has teenaged fanboys and fangirls dazed and charmed. “We haven’t met up in almost three weeks, and the only time I was able to see you is on the goddamn TV. What can possibly be more important than spending some quality time together by coming over to Netflix and chill?”

On the other end of the receiver, Isfan releases an exasperated sigh; he may be used to the idol’s antics, but it doesn’t mean that he’s particularly good at dealing with him when he’s… like this.

“I already told you, Gieve,” Isfan feels terrible, he really does, because as much as he won’t admit this out loud, he misses spending time with his boisterous and at times over-the-top boyfriend, misses relaxing on the couch mindlessly watching a silly Korean romantic drama that neither are really paying much attention to, with Gieve laying his head in Isfan’s lap and the brunet carding his fingers through his dark hair soothingly, but he has responsibilities to tend to, “I’ve got—”

“—things to do, yes, but,” Gieve pauses, eyes sliding close as he releases a slow breath, “I miss you…”

“I miss you, too,” Isfan replies, his tone softening into a gentler murmur, the fondness he only shows when it’s just the two of them present surfacing in his voice.

“I don’t like it when you keep secrets from me,” Gieve admits, his lower lip jutting out into a small pout even though there’s no way Isfan can tell. He’s not accusing Isfan in any way. He may have difficulties and troubles he’s not comfortable with sharing if he’s not ready to divulge, and Gieve understands that, but he’s been patient — more patient than Isfan gives him credit for — and he’s always been direct about what he wants, if nothing else.

That’s something about Gieve that Isfan loves, too.  

“I know… I’m sorry. I’ve been meaning to tell you, but it’s just been overwhelming for the past few weeks and I couldn’t find a good time,” he sounds sheepish, almost, which Gieve takes as a sign that it’s safe for him to take the next step forward.

“Well, now’s as good a time as any,” Gieve tells him, his lips curving up into a hopeful smile.

-

“You’ve gotten yourself a dog.”

Gieve stares down at the shivering mess of fluff with the shade of a toasted marshmallow nuzzling curiously at his feet before it looks back up at him with clear, crystal-blue eyes. One of his perfectly-shaped eyebrows arches up.

“Well, actually…” Isfan pokes his head out of his bedroom and leans against the doorframe, a hand sliding to the back of his neck awkwardly.

The way he’s absolutely refusing to meet Gieve’s eyes is an obvious warning all by itself, as another puppy with similar coating as the one still nosing busily at Gieve’s ankle and toes appears by Isfan’s side, his gaze half-wary and half-frightened.

“You have two,” Gieve blinks owlishly and corrects himself, his expression gradually turning from mildly concerned to downright unimpressed.  

“They’re brothers,” Isfan says, looking a little helpless with a timid smile, as if that’s a good enough explanation for why he’s suddenly the proud owner of two Kugsha dogs.

“Of course they are,” Gieve nods once, and because he simply can’t resist touching anything that’s both soft and cute, he carefully stoops down and runs calming fingers along the puppy’s back, to which the small puff of cloud with four stubby paws and a keen tail that won’t stop wagging excitedly responds with a happy yelp and a firm nudge that seems to be telling him to keep going down the narrow hallway of the small apartment unit.

He takes the few steps to reach where Isfan is still standing, his body bowed slightly and angled away from the slighter musician, his eyes downcast. Gieve winds one arm around the taller man’s shoulder, the movement graceful yet quiet, and pulls him down slightly so that their gazes meet.

The puppy that has been standing stiffly by Isfan’s feet quickly trots away to join his brother in the living-room, leaving the two humans alone in their moment of content and intimacy.

Gieve’s lips quirk up into a small smile as he drapes his other arm over Isfan’s broad shoulder, his head tilted to one side and sea-green eyes glimmering playfully.

“So, this is what you’ve been up to, huh?”

Isfan laughs, a low, distant thunder that rumbles pleasantly in Gieve’s ears as he, too, encircles the dark-haired man’s waist with his arms, pulling him flush against his chest.

“Pretty much, yeah,” he murmurs against the tufts of hair by Gieve’s temple.

“You could’ve told me earlier,” Gieve mumbles grumpily against Isfan’s shirt, his fingers idly playing with the strands of cinnamon-brown locks that Isfan has put into a loose ponytail.

“Have you been overthinking again?” Isfan traces his thumb over the line of Gieve’s jaw as he leans back a little to see his face, his topaz irises knowing.

“No,” Gieve snaps at him a bit too quickly, sounding almost defensive, but upon realizing immediately that Isfan can see right through him, he bites his lower lip, his rigid frame slackening a degree, and he softens his tone, “a little… maybe…”

“Apologies again for not telling you sooner,” Isfan kisses him softly on his forehead, and Gieve leans into the touch, reveling in the sweetness of that gesture.  

“You going to introduce me to your canine children or what?” Gieve asks finally when he wills himself to tear away from the brunet’s embrace and glances up at him with a cheeky smirk.

Isfan rolls his eyes at the childish jab, but lacing his fingers with Gieve’s, he pulls him along and sits them both down on the couch.

The puppy that had greeted Gieve at the door wastes no time and pounces for him again, his muzzle nudging his knees and his pointy, triangular ears twitching this way and that as he continues sniffing inquisitively around his master’s guest.

“You’re very friendly, aren’t you?” Gieve chuckles as he pets the dog’s neck with his hands along the sides, which earns him a series of pleasant growls and playful licks. “What’s your name?”

“That’s Bahram,” Isfan says with an affectionate smile, then, glancing down at the perceivably much calmer sibling sitting by his side, he continues while scratching the back of the puppy’s ear, “and this here is Kayvan.”

“I don’t think Kayvan likes me very much,” Gieve watches the other puppy with a slight frown, the look of suspicion in Kayvan’s ice-blue eyes doesn’t dissipate as he remains close by his master’s side, and even ear scratches from Isfan are not enough to assuage him.

“He’ll come around, probably,” Isfan laughs lightly at his lover’s brooding expression.

They share a moment of companionable silence while playing with the two Kugsha puppies, the pauses only interspersed with the occasional questions and hushed cooing.

“Wait,” Gieve suddenly sits up straighter, the motion so unexpected that it surprises Bahram a little, “I thought this place doesn’t allow pets. Or have you finally learned to take advantage of your pop star status and good looks to persuade the superintendent to let you keep the dogs?”

Isfan pointedly ignores the last question and replies, “About that… I’m considering moving to a bigger place. I mean, with these two, they’ll need the extra space to run around in anyway, and—” He stops, eyes averted and lips pressed tight as if to prevent himself from saying something unnecessary.

“And?” Gieve prompts, leaning just a degree closer towards the brunet.

“Ah, you know how sometimes you’ll end up staying the night when we, um…” Isfan turns his head to the side, a hint of blush starting on his cheeks that Gieve always finds irresistibly adorable.

“Yeah?” The glint in his sea-green eyes is anything but innocent.

“And you know how my single bed is too cramped for the both of us?” Isfan continues in a rushed murmur.

“I enjoy sleeping on top of you though,” Gieve grins mischievously, and he only gives a noncommittal shrug when Isfan sends him a dark but flustered look, “but anyway, go on.”

“So, I was thinking that when I move, I’m going to look for a unit with a bigger master bedroom as well, just so that I can fit a queen-sized bed in there…” he lets the unfinished statement hangs in the air between them.

The implication is subtle, but that’s all Gieve needs; he gives Bahram one last pat on its back and clamors over to his boyfriend’s lap, effectively straddling him.

“Say no more! After you’ve settled on a place, let’s go shopping at IKEA!”

Bahram lets out an excited bark, as if wholeheartedly agreeing to Gieve’s plan.

-

A/N: Honestly, IKEA’s style is probably too bland for Gieve’s taste but Isfan is a big fan, so.

Forcing to get car insurance?

The dealer told us that we could get the loan in her name, and register it in mine, even though she didn't have a license. When we got the plates, it was registered in her name. The dealer said that was fine, and it was nothing to worry about. We found out that this is illegal to do in New Jersey. We tried to get the dealer to rectify the situation, but they wouldn't touch it. Now, the car doesn't have any insurance or a registration, and a representative from the bank says that they can force her to get car insurance, even though she doesn't have license. Is this legal? Can a bank force someone to get insurance, even if they aren't even legal to drive in NJ? Please help me with this.""

Retroactive auto insurance premium?

I obtained an auto insurance policy in August 2007. In January 2008 (five months after the policy was purchased) I received my policy renewal.

I cancelled the policy and found a new provider. The insurance company then sent me a bill retroactively charging me for the original policy with the new information and premium changes. Can they retroactively charge me for the policy that I had already paid in full based on our original agreement? Does the insurance company have any legal recourse or right to collect this money?

Webcomic Whimsy: Parhelion

Welcome to the Woohooligan Weekly Webcomic Whimsy! I've given a couple of interviews in the past, but this is my first experience with reviewing. If you have any suggestions for improvements, feel free to leave a note. If you're a webcomic author and would like a review, you can see my announcement and review rules here.

Title: Parhelion

Author: Riley Smith • Twitter • Tumblr

Site: ParhelionComic.com • Patreon

Genres: Experimental, Dystopian, SciFi, Space Opera, Black Comedy, Experimental, Surreal, Action/Adventure, Gay Space Pirates, A day in the life of a bargain-bin Han Solo

Rating: PG, T for Teen - adult situations, some language

Updates: ??

Synopsis: (from ParhelionComic.com/about) - The World’s Collective, an ambitious plan to unite the galaxy, has just formally collapsed. A despondent interpreter hires a pirate to retrieve some personal files from his office, and they hit it off. Meanwhile, wheels are turning throughout the galaxy, with all kinds of plans at cross-purposes. Warlords lock horns, Boltzmann Brains fight for freedom, and plenty of people just want some peace and quiet.

The first thing anyone is bound to notice about Parhelion is its experimental art style. I suspect this will be a case of "love it or hate it" with very few people in the undecided camp. It certainly has its appeal, with a kind of "baroque simplicity", (which in English means it looks more complicated than it is). Although later chapters get some monochromatic coloring, there's never full color and it might be better that way. Even when a character is human, the lines of the form often don't intersect, leaving a gap at a joint like a waist or elbow, so full color might look out of place. With alien characters, all bets are off, as there's barely a passing nod to notions of anatomy. One drawback to this style is the ambassador from the Planet of the Floor Lamps! (See, it's like Planet of the Apes but...)

A small side-note: so far, Riley is the only author I've reviewed who maintains an annotated synopsis of all his chapters. It's a nice touch if you'd like to see the whole outline of the story in advance.

If you don't mind an occasional character who looks like office furniture, there's a dystopian space opera here that you might enjoy, hot on the heels of a failed galactic government called the Collective. The first page opens with, "like it or not, civilization is built on stimulants, pornography and worse." I'm not sure if the author thinks poorly of porn or if they expect the reader to. I personally think porn is like other industries, there's some bad stuff to be had, but there are also unscrupulous insurance people making money off of the death or misfortune of others. So I won't personally single-out the porn industry as "bad stuff", and stimulants? Meh... coffee is a stimulant. But if you're expecting any porn in this comic, remember that any dick picks will inevitably look like a Tinkertoy with this style of art. (There isn't any porn, it's T for Teen.)

But I digress... that opening line is intended to set the mood of Parhelion's dystopian future. The main character, Peter, is jaded while not being entirely cynical, describing the recently collapsed Collective as "a beacon of hope, smothered at birth by a pack of vultures."

Peter meets his alien, soon-to-be partner, a translator named Cerril, at a bar. In fact, Peter interrupts Cerril's week-long alcoholic bender, mid-gargle-blaster. You see, Cerril's an ivory tower jackoff who used to work for the Collective, before it's untimely collapse just days or weeks before the story started. That's why he needs all the booze. What he didn't know is that Peter needs a translator.

This is also a good time to point out another small problem with the art style, which is, when you use straight, perpendicular lines for your dialog balloons, especially when you're drawing in black and white, the dialog can easily get lost in the illustration, like it does at the bottom of the above page. Or it can create parallel tangents or fake panels like at the top of the previous page.

There's also a fair amount of black comedy or "gallows humor" in Parhelion, like Peter insisting to terms for his own murder, specifically that it be an involved and painful mano-a-mano affair. And Riley occasionally gets technical. Unlike Star Wars in which the function of the protocol droid C-3PO is simply assumed, Riley stops for a couple pages to explain why Cerril's job title is "translator" instead of "office clerk". Oh, but I was wrong about the Tinkertoys...

Several pages are devoted to developing the characters for Peter and Cerril before there's been any real plot. Peter presents himself as a happy-go-lucky space pirate, a kind of bargain-bin Han Solo. And it turns out that the falling-down-drunk Cerril isn't entirely cynical either.

I know I sound like a broken record here, but I see a lot of what I feel is slow pacing in the webcomics I'm reviewing. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm being a little overly critical on this point. Having said that, I'm seventeen pages in and while I've gotten some good character development for Peter and Cerril, I still haven't seen any plot development beyond "you need to bring me the translator and you can't refuse because I'm your pirate-boss and you're in deep." For reference, a standard issue of a Marvel or DC title is twenty to twenty-four pages, so if this were one of their books, we'd be on the very last couple of pages with only just the basic character development covered.

That's when we see Peter's gnarly missing-eye scar... or is that mechanical? Hard to tell.

But I do think they make a good team... it's basically that bargain bin Han Solo teamed up with a drunken, curmudgeonly C-3PO.

Note that in the bottom half of this page, those are supposed to be fully human, factory-direct hands, with no modifications. It's that sort of thing that makes me say I think this art style will be fairly polarizing: you'll love it or hate it, there won't be a lot of indifference. The hand on the left looks like a bunch of straw sticking out of a sleeve and the one on the right looks like a garden rake. Yeah, he's a bargain bin Han Solo, but this picture makes him look like a badass, one-eyed, space-pirate scarecrow from the land of Oz.

At the beginning of their three-day trip, Cerril asked Peter to steal something for him. By day three, Cerril finally explains that it was just some personal files he wouldn't be able to retrieve from his offices after the Collective collapsed. That's when it's revealed that these particular space pirates are gay, although that reveal is weirdly subtle and kind of sprung on the reader out of the blue like a jump-scare in a horror movie, or maybe a Rickroll. (I'm bringin' back ALL the dated memes, bae!) Pete and Cerril mention "neck marks" without any indication they had been playing tonsil hockey, although that's preceded by some peculiar seating arrangements that weren't foreshadowed in any way. So in a storytelling sense, it feels like we went from teeth-clenched teamwork to the power of love while skipping the middle part where "I'm going to murder you in your sleep, you slaver" gradually becomes "let's slip into something more comfortable".

And then they touch-down on what appears to be literally the land of Oz, right off the yellow-brick road, just outside of the Emerald City. There's even an old-fashioned hand-made crossroads sign.

Just in time to let us know that three days alone in the ship wasn't nearly enough time for sex! Seriously, you need at least a week for a proper blowjob.

But if you thought Peter's missing eye looked painful, it's nothing compared to the hopelessly tangled earbuds that comprise the "face" of the tyrant known as the Basilisk.

Although some of the Baroqueness is rather nice.

We've had a few budget cuts, so the part of Parliament's architectural columns will be played by butt-plugs. (You can't unsee it! You're welcome.)

Starting in the second chapter, Riley starts getting creative with the lettering, occasionally replacing a character or two with an alien symbol. The only pattern I can see is that a particular letter or combination is always given the same symbol, so what would be "th" becomes a single symbol that vaguely resembles a J, making "the" look like "je". It's obviously not used for the purpose of censoring swearing, since the page starts with the phrase "fucking joke" (a priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into an orgy). Given that, I can only imagine that these random substitutions are purely for the purpose of adding an alien flavor to the narration or dialog of certain characters. Personally, I'm not on-board. Riley's already added some similar decoration around the dialog box, and I feel like that's the more appropriate way to create that flavor. These substitutions in the text keep interrupting my reading flow as I have to stop to workout what "video#at" or "fai#ful" mean. It's only a fraction of a second for any individual word, however even that fractional pause is noticeable and mildly irritating as a reader. Like I said, the style of this comic is experimental, and experimentation always comes with some risk and sometimes it pays off. I just don't feel like, as experiments go, this text experiment was a keeper. What do you think?

It isn't until the fourth page of chapter two that Peter and Cerril officially become partners, with a little light comedy that reminds me a little of C-3PO's pitch to uncle Owen in Star Wars IV, except that Cerril is arguing against going with Alison. (That may have a lot to do with my already saying Cerril reminds me of C-3PO.)

While the writing on this page is good and Cerril's body language is well done, the page as a whole has several trouble-spots. There are several ways the first panel could have been composed without letting the dialog cut into the top of Alison's head. While it's not hard to figure out in this particular case, dialog from a character off-camera is frequently shown as it is here in the 2nd and 3rd panel. This is problematic for a couple of reasons, one because there's no visual difference between these dialog boxes and a narration box. That's not confusing on this particular page, but I could easily see it becoming confusing on other pages. Second, and more importantly, I've seen a few more recent pages where this is done in a scene with three or more characters and it's not always apparent who's speaking. Use of colored dialog boxes or a small symbol indicating the character could resolve this issue, although as an artist myself, I would work a little harder to keep the speaking characters on-camera. I might still use the symbol on some infrequent occasions if I were having a really difficult time with the composition of a specific page. I just don't think the off-camera boxes should be a frequent occurrence... reserve them for when Dorothy finally meets the Wizard.

And on page six of the second chapter, we're finally on to our dynamic duo's first suicide mission (of many, natch). I'm pretty sure they have one of those hole-punch coupons, they get a free sandwich after every fifth suicide mission they complete. Loyalty is important, yo!

Don't worry though, the veteran Peter has a plan! Peter's plan is to show up unannounced to a definitely hostile, likely heavily armed facility, and say "Hi! I'm peter! Go fuck yourself!" Which, of course, works every time. No, seriously, nobody even mentions it being weird and they make plans with the manager of the hostile station to go get tacos later.

But Peter wants to to know you don't fuck with a space-pirate's tacos, you spineless corporate cuck!

And since Parhelion is more of a black comedy than an adventure (I'm sure it's in there somewhere), this taco tirade is the big mistake where shit gets real. (Yeah, no, it's totally not lazily waltzing in on a hostile, likely heavily armed base. That part was cake.)

I really like that dramatic last panel on page fifteen of chapter two, so that's where I'm going to end this review.

So there's my pitch. If you enjoy tongue-in-cheek space opera, surreal and experimental illustration, and gay space-pirates, it's worth a look at Parhelion!
