mari was always a stubborn one. too bad for her, he was stubborn too. perhaps that was why they'd been such good friends. before, you know, well... "no. you're not okay," he said, enunciating each word. normally, he'd whine about the way the downpour wrecked his perfect coiffure. but he couldn't even bring himself to think about his hair in that moment. he took off his — expensive, duh — jacket and put it on top of the girl's head. "di tika pasagdan diri. i'm sorry, but dili ko muhawa hangtod okay na jud ka." he sighed. "can't i at least help you get back inside your friends' house until the rain stops?" those were his friends too. but he didn't know if he was allowed to refer to anything as ours — as in mari's and nate's, theirs, something they shared. he sniffed as his nose started to get congested, rain pouring all over him.

at first, nate had been reluctant to visit the usa. after all, mari was in the states again. but he'd reminded himself of the facts: 9,831,510 km². more than 331 million people. the chances of bumping into her were low, and he didn't — until, well, he did. because despite all those square kilometers and people, the filipino community in mari's area was apparently pretty small. they knew some of the same people, who knew the same people. but it wasn't all bad, he thought. he tried to be civil. he could be civil; it was the least he could do after messing things up with her. it was late afternoon when their gathering ended. nate walked to the parking lot to get into his car. he caught a glimpse of mari waiting for transport. he felt a twinge of pain in his chest. he wanted to invite her to just ride with him, but could he still do that? the sky, however, made the decision for him. when he heard the rain battering his car, he quickly got out and said, "mari! mari..." for a moment, he almost froze, but he pushed himself to run towards her and spit it out. he didn't want her to get wet and sick. "dungan na tag sakay."

Stranger

Celia hadn’t seen Nate around for a few days, but she wasn’t worried. She knew that he was busy, that he had a lot going on, and her father had been feeling better so he had been working and she had had a few days off, so she hadn’t had a chance to run into him at the bar. But today she was heading down to visit her father and to see if he needed an extra hand, so when she walked in, she didn’t see Nate and walked over to her father, kissing his cheek. “Do you need any help?” She asked. Her father waved her off. “Isn’t my daughter so helpful?” Johnny asked with a laugh.

Then Celia spotted Nate at the end of the bar, and smirked slightly, walking over to him. “Long time no see, stranger.”

(1) This is regarding your question about Ellie - I don't have a twitter account so I couldn't respond to the poll. :) I've been debating whether to say anything because I desperately do not want to come across as if I'm hating on Ellie or questioning/criticizing your writing. So let me preface this by saying as a longtime reader of FICON, it is an absolute masterpiece. I'm so in awe of the rich characters & stories you & Bre have created & I'm so grateful y'all came up with this universe.

(2) For me, the character I've always connected with the most is Jules for various reasons. As for Ellie, she seems so sweet, bubbly, & all around a good person, but I just don't care as much about her story? That sounds terrible. I loved her as a little girl, & am so incredibly interested in the other version of her (would literally read a series about the other world/Ellie & Nate1) but I think some of my issues with her as a YA/adult have to do with how obsessed she is with her destiny

(3) I know this isn't intentional, but it comes across to me like she never really has to deal w/ the fallout of her actions. For all the other characters it seems like they've been forced to confront some of their shortcomings & grow as individuals. Jules was forced to grow/develop because of Jackson's death, discovering her misconceptions about her relationship with her parents, meeting Alex, etc. Will had his mom's death, Beth, Amelia, Moira, getting shot, alcoholism, etc.(4) & though we haven't seen much of Nate, we saw him develop from Cami, dealing with his relationship with Oliver, his friendships, & know about how he'll be impacted by meeting Penny. Ellie...hasn't. It seems like all her stories are extremely similar, with not a lot of growth between them.

(5) She goes on a mission, goes rogue by either making up a plan or pulling out her com, gets in trouble, & then just thinks about how no one understands that she's actually amazing because of her destiny. & to me, that makes her seem stagnant as a character. Of course, we haven't read Schism & maybe that's where her sort of "Come to Jesus" moment happens. & if so, I am SO FREAKING EXCITED.

(6) I'd love to see her have to fight Oliver, like REALLY fight Oliver, so she sees how much more she has to learn, or something incredibly drastic to happen (i.e. someone is badly hurt & it's all because of her) so she has to come to grips with the fact that she's NOT ready. I'd love to see her be kicked off the team & have to discover who she is other than being a vigilante. Basically, let Ellie have to face the full consequences of her actions, & then grow from the experience.

(7) Again, please don't think I'm being critical. I love this world & these characters so very much & I want to see them through their journeys. These are just my views & why I personally have some issues with Ellie. Thank you for all that you've written, & can't wait to see what happens next. ♥️♥️♥️

First of all, thank you. Secondly, I don’t think this is overly critical and you’re not telling me what to do. Don’t worry about it being taken that way, okay? Cause I’m not. 

The things you don’t like about this Ellie are the point of this Ellie. They’re a starting point for her character, the things she has to fix within herself to realize her potential. And it’s completely intentional that she hasn’t had to deal with the fallout of her actions yet. She is stagnant right now, more or less, because I’m establishing where she’s at and who she is when her story starts. 

Ellie has never been the focus in these stories in Pieces of Always. Not in a sustained way like Jules or Will have. That’s because she’s not at a point where she’s experiencing growth and real challenges yet. Not to her core being anyhow. That will start soon, though mostly in the background, and be at the forefront when we get to Schism. 

I know people have an interest in the other Ellie and Nate. To be completely honest, I’m already three years into what will likely be a six year, nearly full-time, unpaid writing ‘job’ for this series. I have a schedule through 2021, writing five days a week almost every week. I cannot possible begin to develop and write an entire different fanfic universe for these characters.  This series will be my last venture into fanfic. It is, quite frankly, irresponsible of me to continue to devote this much time and energy to something that doesn’t help support my family. I don’t regret it and I’m not going to quit it, but I’m also not going to add on to it. After this series - and, in fact, during this series - I’ll be shifting to original works and self-publishing. 

Looking at what you’d like to see, I think when we get to Schism, you’ll be happy with it. I have never let characters off the hook for their actions and I do not pull my punches with consequences for my characters. And that will not be any different for Ellie. What I take from this mostly is that you’re frustrated that she hasn’t learned and grown from her mistakes yet. That’s fair. And I wanted you to be frustrated with her, though perhaps I should’ve waited a touch longer to foster that. If you aren’t frustrated with her lack of growth, then how satisfying is her eventual growth? If you don’t look at her and say “man, she needs to learn,” then how much does it matter to you when she finally does? Characters overcoming their flaws are a huge component of storytelling. So, I don’t think the fact that a character has a flaw that drives you a little nuts is a bad thing. I think it’s necessary.

Por que Suga bajo su micrófono durante su presentación en SBS Gayo Daejun?

Fuente: Joongang Ilbo vía Nate1.

Durante su presentación Suga dejó de cantar una parte para que todos vean que cantan en vivo que no es playback.

[+1,790, -121] Probablemente un gesto hacia todas las personas que los acusan de sincronizar o reproducir una grabación (playback) ㅋ true una verdadera prueba de sus habilidades en vivo

2. [+1,398, -131] ¡Su presentación era tan dominante! El mejor

3. [+1,309, -143] ¡Ah ... me pongo la piel de gallina ... son tan geniales, no!?

4. [+129, -9] En serio, siempre asumí que BTS era un grupo popular con acordes (y el único nombre de miembro que conocía era Rap Monster) así que siempre salteé sus canciones en los primeros 100 ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ y luego los vi en 'Gayo Daejun 'el otro día y tuve que buscarlos como locos !!! ¿Cómo pude haber dormido en un grupo de ídolos que es tan bueno para cantar, rapear y producir todo el tiempo? Y ese miembro Jungkook, daebak ... su rostro, su baile, su canto ... todos, por favor, vean su presentación en 'Gayo Daejun' ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+109, -5] Incluso con Suga demostrándolo así, la gente sigue afirmando que sincronizaron los labios con esta parte ㅋㅋㅋ en este punto, tienen problemas mentales

6. [+103, -6] Puedo ver por qué la gente asume que tienen sincronización de labios, aunque ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ son tan buenos

7. [+96, -6] BTS es realmente mejor que los otros ídolos, sin embargo, son un muro en comparación con el resto

8. [+93, -5] Mira lo despreocupado que se ve ㅋㅋ estos tipos saben lo que están haciendo

9. [+71, -2] Lo gracioso es que incluso cuando él lo prueba así, algunos todavía los acusan diciendo que solo la parte del rap es en vivo y el resto del canto es sincronización de labios ... ¿qué están pensando? Estoy sin palabras ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+67, -4] Sí, esta parte era malditamente genial. Es el tipo de cosa que solo alguien con mucha confianza en sí mismos puede lograr.

Crash!

Alyssa was heading back to the campus after a wonderful weekend home seeing her family. Turning up the radio she jammed out to Katy Perry's 'Roar', as she topped the hill her cars stereo signal went out- prolly from the storms that had plegued the city. Turning it down she fiddled with the tuner trying to find the station again. Looking up from the stereo she slammed her foot to the brakes but it was too late.

In a flash her car hit the remnants of a tree that must have fallen into the road. The sound of crushing metal and squealing breaks filled her head before everything went black.

Blinking open her eyes some time later she looked around, adrenaline filling her when she realized what happened. Pushing the air bag out of her way she unbuckled her seat belt and tried to wrench her door open bit it was stuck. Finding her phone she dialed 911, she never noticed how bad her wrist hurt, how purple it was and all of the blood oozing out of a head wound. She calmly explained what happened and the call director said she was sending the fire department then an ambulance. Leaning back Alyssa waited hoping her best friend was not working- he didn't need to worry.
