#raya makes a poll

[rayatii]

Because here in Lebanon (i.e. next door to where it All Happened™), Nativity scenes are typically set in a cave, more likely one that was converted into a barn/stable, rather than a generic wooden structure that you would see in most Western Nativity scenes. (see my previous musing on this matter.)

I'm not Christian, but it really interests me.

Guide to my Rewrites (and other content)

I post a lot of things, and some of those things are rewrites. As such, I thought this would be a nice guide for fans of my rewrites in particular. I'm still adding new things! Lemme know what you think.

Alternate Takes (Disney)

These are projects that have the same characters and settings (for the most part), but different plot points. These particular alternate takes suggest ideas that would've made me enjoy the movie more (or at all) and aren't a fanfic so much as bullet points with pictures.

Aida

Pocahontas

Hercules

The Princess and the Frog

Tangled

Frozen

Big Hero 6

Moana

Frozen 2

Raya and the Last Dragon

Encanto

Strange World

Wish (Note: working on a full-length rewrite unrelated to the ideas used here)

I also did rewrites for two Dreamworks movies:

The Road to El Dorado

Sinbad

Reimagining Disney Movies

These are projects that take Disney's framework (ie a fairy tale) and create my own characters, plot, setting, and song titles for it.

The Snow Queen

Kingdom of the Sun

Rapunzel

Reimagining Disney eras

These posts are designed based on what if Disney eras made different decisions (either based on my own ideas or rejected concepts) for their films. Note: I made the revival post before the renaissance and post-renaissance posts, so they kind of flow in different continuities. I also wanted to include future ideas for Disney's next era. These posts also work independent of my "Alternate Take" posts.

Reimagining the Renaissance

Reimagining the Post-renaissance

Reimagining the Revival era

Plotting out the Resurgence era

Marvel

Not quite as detailed as my other rewrites, but I thought I'd include them.

Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness

Thor: Love and Thunder

X-Men (Because they have more content than my other Marvel things)

This pretty much just includes my rewrites.

X-Men: Evolution--New roster, Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Roster (Timeskip), Season 4, and Season 5 (I did a poll months ago, and maybe I'll do a post brainstorming a Marauders spinoff).

Wolverine & the X-Men--New Roster, Season 1

Fox's X-Men films (I may remake this)--Part I (First 3 films) and Part II (Phoenix, NM, and Dark Phoenix)

Extensive rewrites

TV shows that I've remade episode-for--episode, perhaps removing and adding some as I see fit.

Miraculous Ladybug--Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4 (currently working on Season 5; been dragging my feet with that!)

Anime as comic books

Yes, this is a topic. I remember when I was in this headspace, and it was really fun. I basically reimagined what if popular anime had been created as superhero comic books that golden or silver age.

Dragon Ball

Naruto

Anime rewrites

Black Butler

Naruto: Part I (Part II is not cancelled; I just put it on the backburner)

High Card: Season 1 (Season 2 is not cancelled; I just put it on the backburner)

Video Game Rewrites

These aren't quite as detailed as my usual rewrites.

Bayonetta

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Fire Emblem: Fates

Fire Emblem: 3 Houses

Kingdom Hearts

Hogwarts Mystery (MAYBE; ongoing internal discussion)

My OCs

This section covers my original characters for a few fandoms. Thinking of making OCs for books/anime/comics, but I do not have the confidence that I know the universe(s) well enough.

Fictif

The Arcana

Hogwarts Legacy

Baldur's Gate 3

Mood Boards

Just something I've made for fun to inspire others! Not an expert on making them, but it was still something I wanted to do.

My Wish rewrite (temporary)

Disney's Hansel & Gretel

[mariacallous]

Bulgaria is bracing for a seventh general election since 2021 after the “There’s Such a People” party on Monday returned the third and final government-forming mandate unfulfilled to President Rumen Radev. 

Following June 9 elections, the winning centre-right GERB party was unable to form a government as its partners from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms entered a sudden leadership crisis; coalition talks led by its opponents from “We Continue the Change” / Democratic Bulgaria also failed. 

“There’s Such a People”, founded by entertainer Slavi Trifonov, and known for making often unpredictable moves, also attempted negotiations to form a government in vain.

On social media, Trifonov blamed Borissov’s alleged dependency on the oligarch and Movement for Rights and Freedoms co-leader Delyan Peevski, who is currently at loggerheads with his own party’s founder.

“Borissov made Peevski’s wish for new snap elections true, so I hope he will take full responsibility for this decision,” he wrote.

Each faction in the Bulgarian parliament now seems isolated from the others. 

Since 2021, amid widespread frustration over the governance of GERB and its leader Boyko Borissov, Bulgaria has witnessed the decline of the party, the birth of new entities opposed to GERB, and increased friction between pro-EU parties and the generally pro-Russian President, Radev.

The stalemate saw two short-lived coalition governments under the mandates of reformists “We Continue the Change” led by Prime Ministers Kiril Petkov (2021-2022) and Nikolai Denkov (2023-2024). 

While emotions are running high between the parties, leaders will have a hard time motivating citizens to cast their votes yet again in such a short time. In April 2021, 50.61 per cent of those eligible to vote cast ballots, while in June 2024 the percentage had dropped to 34.41 per cent. 

In the same timespan, Bulgarians also voted in presidential elections in 2021, in local elections in 2023 and in the European elections in 2024.

In the coming days, President Radev should issue a decree on when the next election will be held. According to the constitution, polls should be organised in the next two months.

Also on Monday, the President started talks with Speaker of parliament, Raya Nazaryan of GERB, who is likely to become the next interim Prime Minister, according to Bulgarian National Radio.

Favorite Over All the Decades - Week 13, Oct 3 2023

The list of contenders for this poll will update as the results roll in.

1930s - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

1940s - Fantasia (1940)

1950s - Alice in Wonderland (1951)

1960s - One Hundred and one Dalmatians (1961)

2000s - The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)

2010s - Tangled (2010)

2020-2022 - Encanto (2021)

Overall Winner: Mulan (1998)

The NEW 2020s poll, with the winners from 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as the contenders, will start January 1, 2024.

If the overall 2020s movie winner changes, I will then hold a new decades poll on January 8, 2024.

The 2020s poll from 2024 and onward (lol) will just have the top movie from each year go against the new ones. If we run out of slots available for all the new movies with the previous winners, I will hold a poll with just the new movies, get a winner, and then run it against the old year winners of the 2020s.

If I remember to run this tournament into the 2030s, I will do an Over the Centuries poll comparing the favorite of one century of Disney animation to another :).

My main blog is @deathsmallcaps and my art blog is @patheticbatman if curiosity strikes you.

I’m pretty sure there is another poll going on like this, I’m just running this one for my own amusement, and because I like to think about these in terms of decades.

[deathsmallcaps]

They’re grouped together because there’s more than 10 of them. Listed in order of historical appearance within the choices

I included some that aren’t marketed as Disney Princesses but are obviously supposed to fit in the roster :). I’m making a separate poll for those appearing in number 10.

chapter 8 a duet for the ages

Mira magica Narrative pov: 

Raya and Jiko came over to a small area that was made out of blankets stolen chairs fabric, and then eat duct tape sewed, or glue together it looked like it was all billed from scratch. You could even see broken light post lamps as Poll to keep it up.

Raya immediately was confused "heh well this looks like a mess to say the lease if this is a joke, trying to cheer me up I-" jiko interrupted her "nope this is where I live. I never had a proper stable building ever since I ran away so I kind of just had to make one from scratch. The things you do for survive are necessary"

Raya looked down for a moment as she held her rotting hand "couldn't you just build  your own thing?"Jiko then looked back at her. "First of all yes I could build stuff with my magic, but it would be a waste. My thing only has a limited time to build and eventually disappears eventually like all stuff."

Raya  went over and sat down near the edge and then looked down at  the people below them Jiko  came up and she shows some food in her mouth as she started talking "you still sad about what's happening" 

Raya then slowly replied "you expect me to be happy what v I done heh that sounds a bit foolish don't you think I'm the reason why my friends got into the situation my body is rotting and decaying and-" before she could continue Jiko spoke up "your wish went against you. I told you about that earlier, didn't I?"

Jiko said that as she sat down next to Raya she then continued to talk "wait what was that part about rotting I mean, it would explain the arm" Raya looked up at Jiko  "you don't know, and  you been a magical girl for pretty long we're nothing but rotting corpses. Our souls are stuck in containers. Our bodies will be destined to rot"

Jiko eyes widened of what she just heard  despite being a magical girl for a while she never lost her soul gem so she never witnessed her body rot. She didn't even know That the contract she made turned her into a living corpse it put so much rage on her  "so ...he lied to us again well next time when he comes back, I'll make sure it be more painful for him"

Jiko said those words as she punched her knuckles together with anger in her eyes Jiko was always the type to get boiled up with anger "when I find that little piece of crap I'll make sure he suffers and burns in the pits of hell. I don't care how many times it takes to kill that little misfit"

Raya looked up when she said that she seem to be a bit better, but she was still in a down mode  "OK, slow down on the anger at this point, I don't see a reason why we should be raging. We already signed a contract and we're already dying-" 

Before Raya could continue with her thought with sorrow and regretful tone Jiko threw a makeshift guitar at her. She then spoke up this time there's no more food in her mouth. "You play guitar I seen you play music and do solos in your school"

Raya immediately caught the guitar. It was made out of boxes and wood, but it still looked. Playable didn't have any tuners though Raya then spoke up "how do you know I play guitar? how do you know I do solos at my school?"Jiko only looked back at her with a stubborn frown, and then  put her hands on her back she then blush a bit

"I've seen you play music every time you were playing music in that little room I would watch from the window in fact I was trying to spy on you it's better to know. Pray before you go for another attack again but I guess I got caught up..maybe" jiko said to raya  she proceeded to look at makeshift guitar playing it strings for a bit.

Raya chuckled a bit a small smile formed on her face, though she knew that the rot would never go away "When you're not angry you really do act like a cuddly pup don't you? One minute you're all angry the next minute you're being kind to me" Raya said these words, even though she had a cocky smirk her voice still sounded a bit down

Raya then played the guitar a bit it wasn't electric to what she used. She could only sit there and look at her rotting arm Jiko then open her mouth saying something "you know when I was little didn't really live in a wealthy or rich family. In fact, I remember living in an old wood shelter most of my life"

She then proceeded to continue as she put her arms behind her neck and then walk over to the edge and look at the city " but I didn't cared about money the only thing I know about growing up with my parents was survival they were thieves so most of the time they were pretty much criminals charged for stealing stuff"

Raya looked over of what Jiko was saying she watched as she continued talking "we can steal stuff from the market or grocery store. If we didn't get anything We would result into eating fish worms, bugs, or sometimes deer why did my parents do this? they said it was for taking care of me and it was survival. They told me the world wasn't made for all and it could be Cruel place"

Raya then look down at the guitar and gave her a cocky smirk "Heh bet you wished for money or wealth so you and your parents could have a happy life and not have to be outcasts as bad guys" Jiko made a grouchy face as she spoke up again "now why would I wish for money? I don't see a point"

Raya tilted her head in confusion glancing at Jiko "you said you lived in a poor family you would  have to steal food or catch Pray I would see you wishing for money for that you could live happily together."

Jiko turned to face Raya again and gave a short scow when she said that "I should've wished for that, but I guess I was so mad at the company. I was completely reckles Or just blinded by rage. I simply wanted to make a company suffer" raya looked up as jiko said that

"Company? What do you mean?"raya said Jiko then looked over back at raya  "have you ever heard people looking down on people, even if they're their buyers and only care about their own greedy reasons" as Jiko said that her eyes narrowed with a frustrated growl

She then proceeded to put her hands down from her back and clutch her fist she then spoke up again "especially that stupid IDE.A  They don't care who they have to lie to. They just wanna be in control. It makes me sick, my parents told me it was the reason they went poor I wasn't even born during that time, but when I heard why it made me sick to the bone all I wanted was revenge.."

As jiko said those words she then clenched her fist together, putting her arms down, seeming frustrated with herself as she continued "a bit later, I came in front of that little rascal we all Kyubey just like your brain. I wanted to make a contract so I made a hasty one. I wanted that company to rot disappear. Watch something built on top of it. That was better watch the people who owned it suffer like they made my family."

Jiko all let out those words with hatred in her voice, she made a hasty wish she was fueled by anger and her frustration "and you know what happened in the end. I got what I wanted. I became a magical girl the company went bankrupt and shriveled however,I felt satisfied of what I did. I gave my parents revenge, but it didn't help at all"

Raya browse furrowed she knew where this was going Jiko continue talking however, her voice got more frustrated and more hateful by the second she spoke "all I did was make a wasteful wish out of pure anger that didn't benefit me or my family in anyway my family doesn't even know. I made the wish They just thought it was coincidental but in reality"

Jiko stopped, hesitating for a moment, but then continued"It was because of me, knowing because of my stupid anger issues I was the reason my  Dad and mom never got to see the lighted day again" raya put the guitar down and got up and walked next to Jiko  

Jiko open her mouth one last time "we were stealing food one day and they got into an accident. My mom covered me during it, but my dad ended up dying at my mom was injured and due With such low money we had I couldn't pay for her medical bills. I watched her die knowing I could've wished for something, but I already wasted it on something stupid" jiko hugged herself as her eyes were full of frustration and sorrow raya looking at her she then proceeded to sigh

She grabbed her shoulder for a minute "you blame yourself for something that you wish you could control, but you made a reckless decision and you blame yourself for everything...that's funny.,,I made that mistake too many times" raya then stopped for a moment her cocky smiled, then returned after a while 

"But.. even after a wish ...." She Hesitated for a moment, but then she smiled as a persistent came into her eyes she then chuckles "it doesn't mean we're finished. We're still here, right? Still breathing, still fighting" jiko look at Raya again a bit surprised that we returned back to her usual cocky mood

Jiko then looked a bit stubborn but made a slight smile "well someone's back to their regular mode quite quickly, though you are annoying" Raya made a cocky laugh and then made a happy grin, as she put finger up to her face " well despite being run corpse, I am the guardian of freedom my job is to protect my friends and family..even if I'm a rotting corpse"

Jiko rolled her eyes but couldn't help the faint smile that formed at the corners of her mouth. "You're impossible but also persistent, you know that" Raya smirked, and then look Jiko "not the first time someone told me that"

Raya then looked at her rotting arm. They were still a hint of sorrow in her eye frustration a bit of anger. "not the first time I heard that besides I'm protecting people. The one I love...my family even the friends I put in danger..I need to keep going" raya did a heroic pose being back to her cocky self jiko looked at her she starting to question if she's just putting up an act or if she's really that persistent did the how fast she recovered

"at least you have something to fight for that's at least good for-" raya then spoke up, interrupting her once again, giving her a cocky smile "you have something good for you too. You said you're doing this for survival that's your reason to keep going you're surviving for your family...and I would too.."

Both girls stay silent Raya then walked away jiko spoke up before she left "by the way the deals off the one about earlier. I'm joining team either way if that's what you're calling it don't think it's because I want to, but I'm just interested" Jiko trying to show she still tough and not trying to show you getting soft on her

Raya chuckled and then smiled brightly at her "I knew it you do actually like me don't you? You have a soft side" Jiko immediately, had her angry expression back. And she said that frustrated at her. "Just shut up and go already. You probably have people worried about you for God sake"

Raya to chuck a little bit before she head down the building back staircase "OK Miss grumpy pants I'll go I'll go, but tomorrow you're coming to" Raya proceeded to walk down the stairs, waving at her before sliding down the rails being completely reckless again 

Jiko watch the cocky girl leave she can't help but feel like she's lying a bit but then again for once in a while someone actually understood her once in a while...

Raya pov:

Everything will be OK I may be rotting. I may be suffering, but I'm doing it for purpose doing it so I can protect the people loving, maybe I am reckless, but I'm doing it for cause like come on I am the hero of freedom. I'm not going to give myself into despair because of rotting!

I chuckled to myself, but then again,,, I was the reason they got into this mess...heh ..no no no raya you're not the reason you are a hero you're protecting your friends and family even if you were the one who put them into the situation i can still fix it! ...right

"so that's your solution blocking out the pain" ...my body felt frozen when I heard that voice when I looked down. I felt my feet soaked and wet. It's not rain season right now..I noticed bubbles floating in the air. My curiosity got the best of me because I popped a couple. Gotta admit they're kind of fun to pop.

However, the last one that  popped same knight that witch who tried to kill me earlier made me freeze for a minute.it was that aquatic like knight again.

 I immediately took out my soul gem and transform, taking out my axe ready for a fight. Worst time to deal with the witch, especially when one i fought earlier, but who cares! "Well you're in the feisty mood since the last time we met heh" ..I raised my brow for a second. She wasn't attacking me like immediately from earlier.

I lowered my axe down for a minute, I'm gonna be honest here why is she acting all different? All of a sudden.. she wasn't that cold collective  witch I met earlier, who was throwing swords at us "but then again due to my partner, Ophelia being a bit hasty I can see why you're a bit defensive"

Despite that aquatic knight, not having or not seeing a mouth at least I definitely can tell. She's the one talking I can't help but chuckle bit "wait so you and Candlehead are in a relationship? Well that's new, isn't it?"

As I said, that watched a bubble came up to her hand as she was fidgeting with it. It wasn't popping though she then made a heart shape out of it I could hear her speak again through her metal helmet. How is she even talking through that thing microphone,speakers OK now I'm curious? "You know Raya you remind me of me making yourself play an act thinking you're doing the right thing thinking you made the right choice"

As I heard those... from her.... I will admit it kind of stings... but she's wrong right i'm not letting some aquatic knight stop me I spoke up "oh, I'm definitely sure I made the right choice. I'm protecting people. I love I'm fighting for freedom. I'm a rotting bit but who cares?"

I watch her white pupils just blink at me for a moment before she did this weird laughter. It sounded like a mix of someone drowning, but also a teenage girl but then also someone that lost their sanity along time ago. It made me sick and honestly scared. What the hell is wrong with this lady?

"Well you're cocky, ... heh..it's just funny" I watched Her make a heart-shaped bubble in her hand. Well, at least that explains where the water comes from "I found it heartbreaking you gave up your soul for something and you expect so much in return that's a lie. You expect so much in return and you get nothing think about it"

Ok I don't know what  fish she is but it's getting on my nerves.I stretched out my arms and pulled up my axe and sliced her arms, and then spin my ax around I was of course, victorious I spoke up "well now you got deal with fighting with one arm now fish-"

When i look back at her, I froze. Her armor hand was on the ground, but the hand the hand was still there, but it wasn't really much of a hand. It was like a blue slime mixed with the sea foam it looks so living it it was swarming around as more if it's drops came out I watched as she looked at her hand. I will admit one thing though that is fucking cool!

But of course, maybe another hit could do. I picked up my axe- ....Was stunned for a minute. I was not expecting her to be hasty and have her sword out  especially with it clashing against my axe she was also using the blue liquid like arm, but yet she was holding the sword so steady 

"First of all don't get so cocky with yourself after you lost your previous battle second, don't rely on the same trick over and over again"  as she said that she immediately tipped her sword under my ax and threw it to the side as it disintegrated ..I will say one thing, though this fish crazy

She immediately put the armor hand back on I made the axe reappear again good thing Kyubey said we can make the weapon reappear in our hand again just in case we lose it

"now This mermaid does not want to hurt you. I simply thought it would be fun to show you some stuff actually I wonder how your family's doing by the way"  all the water that appeared below me suddenly rosea like rain I looked around for a minute to realize I was at my house... right now I'm questioning a lot of stuff like how this thing is a mermaid because it has leg

Maybe it's one of those things that have fish heads that would be very cool. Stay focus you're being interrogated probably I'll be honest. I don't even know what's going on I looked back at her as I raised an eyebrow "heh what are you exactly planning here?"I asked her.

She simply just looked at the window through my house OK I'm gonna be honest. This is starting to get weird even for me. I'm more concerned about my families reaction when they see me rotting but I need to know they're doing well. I'm guessing they're probably having a great time.

I looked at the window. even when  my body was rotting. I couldn't help but smile. My family is not worried about me. They're just having a happy life...they're just not waiting for me to get home and starving themselves.."you have a nice family you know that it would be a shame if something happened to them or your friends"

Those last words she spent out  from her metallic mask, confused me My chest tightened as I glanced back at the window, my family still there, laughing, eating, alive. My rotting reflection stared back at me, an unwelcome reminder of what I'd become. "I wonder what they would see in their girl a grand hero or just a worthless monster, would they even recognize her and question her"

Even though I heard her say that I tried my best to stay persistent No, I'm not going to listen to her words. I'm going to stay positive. I'm fighting for something right when I heard her speak again I fellow shift down my spine

 "you know I wonder if you had to choose between your friends and family who would you choose would you bring your friends and yourself to battle me one last time or would you let your family die in my bare hands just so you can protect your friends" that's mermaid knight saying  this it made my heart stop in sync.I don't want any of them to die. I don't want to be a reason for anyone's death

I can only heard her sinister chuckle before I saw a bubble float in front of me as it popped into an envelope. It was an elegant light blue with music note surrounding it. I watched her speak again "let's put that to the test raya that's your ticket for entering my labyrinth if you care more about your family than you're going to willingly fight me along with your friend"

I could hear her footsteps walking away I can only feel frozen. Do I seriously need to make a choice? Is this my fault is this? "Hey mermaid face you get back here." I immediately saw sickle swoop past me with chains connected, heading straight for that aquatic knight until she grabbed it ..Jiko? 

My eyes lit up it surprise me, so much that she came but also I couldn't help but be excited Besides, I knew there was some good in this girl and speak up "looks like the big Bad Wolf finally showed it soft side heh" jiko granted at me Shoved her hand in my face ....ow ...

"I only helped because you needed it. I'm not going to let you die unless I'm the person who kills you" jiko say to me but I'm gonna be honest here I know very well she's lying. She obviously saved me because she cared about me even though she doesn't say it I'm sure she does

Jiko then pulled her sickle back before going for another attack "you seriously have a mood swing you know that one minute you're depressed the next minute you're very energetic. I question your sanity"

I watched the aquatic knight white pupils looked at us  I watched her spoke up "heh you guys remind me of me and someone else but I have somewhere else to be."watch jiko immediately charged into her only evaporate into water

Timeskip/narrative pov:

"And yeah, that's pretty much how that happened" Raya said laughing a bit her face was still covered with bandages to not show her rotting skin. Kiki was dumbfounded of what she hear and Mira was just shocked, terrified, and scared Yuri on the other hand, looked at her before speaking up.

"You should probably just let your family die" ..Mira just looked at Yuri for a second Raya's eyes just shrunk hearing that jiko proceeded to go up to her irritated and in rage "What do you mean Miss Perfect She's lucky she even has her family left and you're saying she should throw it all away"

Kiki along with Charles supporting her tried to grab jiko raya was still quiet she was still trying to make a practical decision for herself. 

Yuri spoke up in a calm tone "I'm only saying that 'cause we're going up against a council member you guys were already outpowered by two. I don't think you could just stand up against one not accepting the bait seems like the most safest option"

Mira hesitated but finally interjected, her voice shaky. "We... We're supposed to be a team. We can't fight each other when we're already dealing with someone like her" she then proceeded to get more confident as she bit her lip "Besides even if we do retreat and let Raya's family go she'll still keep hunting us. I don't care what you say, but she's my friend"

Mira tried to make a stubborn face, but it didn't look like much, but she was trying to stand up for what was right Kiki nodded with Mira's words, trying to stand up for Raya "you know she's right Yuri. We gotta deal with this now or we keep letting her hurt more people's  raya suffering enough if we take down one member of the council that will be an accomplishment"

Charles, who was on top of Kiki's head did a salute showing her loyalty as Raya hands clenched tightly into fists, she felt a mix of gratitude and guilt as her friends stood up for her she can only stare down at her rotting hand but Mira, Kiki, even Jiko—they were all risking everything for her family, she didn't care anymore. She didn't care about yuri logic. She will keep going.

"I..." Raya's voice cracked as she looked at Yuri, her rotting skin peeking out from under the bandages. "I know you're trying to be realistic, but I can't just let them die. Not when there's a chance to save them... I couldn't live with myself I don't care how reckless it sounds, but I need to do something"

Yuri sign after hearing her words  Jiko turned her tone up "hah so it's settled you idiots take out your soul gems, and let's get going" Kiki then grabbed Charles from her head and put her down she then looked at the cute, plush creature "Charles be a good girl and stay here"

Mira looked at the girls she couldn't help but gave a smile she then looked at Yuri "I know it might sound reckless and stupid but think about it. Those things are gonna keep hunting us if we kill them then maybe there's a chance like I said before if we work together, we can get rid of this council" 

Mira smiled as she said that Yuri made a small smile before it disappeared as she responded to her "very well but this isn't a fairytale also for once I'm surprised you're acting hopeful. I thought you were so you were a hopeless person" yuri then smiled. She went towards the other girls. Mira was surprised what she was hearing. She was hopeful for once...

Kiki, Mira and Yuri took out their soul gems before transforming kiki proceeded to pet Charles, and gave her a little cheek rub 

Raya proceeds ripped open the envelope teleported them into the concert hall of the labyrinth Raya then spoke up as she looked at the ground "I'll be freaking honest I didn't expect just for me to open and we go poof but that's so cool"

Jiko immediately growled hearing that she found the comment a bit annoying but she wasn't fighting with raya as the girls walked through the labyrinth with their weapons steady Mira looked at jiko "hey quick question jiko between you and Raya you seem to get so mad at her but at the same time you look like you've been enjoying her company"

Jiko looked around and then proceeded to look down "I guess it's because somehow, she makes me feel... less alone. She's reckless, annoying, and has a death wish half the time, but she doesn't care about my anger She keeps pulling me in it makes me feel weird" Mira only smiled hearing her voice 

Before Mira could keep going the floor immediately slid across as she tripped as they bolted through thousands of concert doors Yuri then spoke up "well there goes our surprise attack she already knows we're here"

At the final door, they were in a giant concert hall as blue silhouettes were conducting an orchestra all around them on the stage center Oktavia playing with her sword "I was wondering when you guys would come I actually thought you were willing to let your parents die but that would just be selfish and none of us like selfish people"

As Mira proceeds to get up, and Kiki helps her They look at oktavia the girls were focused on her as she was on her rocky stage Yuri looked around for a minute, noticing the Orchestra behind them Melody stops before now playing a dramatic opening music 

Yuri speaks up with concerned in her eyes "you girls better have your guard up like I said before these witches aren't norma-"Before she could continue oktaiva proceeded to stab herself through the heart, making a huge dent on her armor as her heart that looks similar to a grief seed sticking out at the end of the stick before the blood pouring out swarmed around her

Only a puddle of blue blood like substance was left Kiki trembling as she spoke up "did she just kill herself?" The blue bloody puddle was what was left before her until it formed back into Oktavia however she was more different 

The Cape that was once around her shoulder, was now around her neck, flowing like ocean water. Her arm became more heavy and dense, and along with the plates on her waist, becoming sharper and longer she also now had a giant mermaid tail that was also armored up there was also pink seaweed around her neck now and now there was a heart shaped frail curved around her neck

Raya then spoke up "oh, so there's the mermaid tail I was wondering where that was" Oktavia proceeds to waive her sword up as a bunch of wheels appeared. Yuri was confused for a second until she noticed how big they were possibility of running someone over the wheels crashed down, and moved that intense speed like they had a mind of their own

Kiki took out her parallel,blocking one of them Raya just sliced through most of them easily making her way towards her Oktavia 

Jiko grabbed one of the wheels with her hook and launched it at Oktavia hitting her but barely let a dent on mira on the other hand was just trying to keep moving and dodge the wheels jiko proceeded to speak up in an angry voice "clearly she's going to need something heavy to hit her cause I can tell this things going to be a pain"

Mira proceeds to turn her wand into a crossbow and shoot Oktavia the air of bounced off her armor a bit,  Yuri then started talking her voice still cold like normal as he was using her sniper, trying to find a weak point and even shooting some of the wheels "we could probably keep wailing at her, but until we find some sort of weak poin-" 

Before  Yuri could continue multiple swords surround Oktavia before launching at them Kiki immediately got in the way before opening her parasol, but it didn't do much empty attacks were cutting through most of it in debt some point if it kept going, it would cut right through the  parasol 

However, the sword stopped hitting them as something shoot Oktavia Kiki looked at the girls and then Yuri looked over to the side Kiki looked over to the side as well almost speechless. What she saw "Charles!?"

Over by the side of them on top of one of the theater seats Charles had a small cannon perceive the wave " help Mama friends" Mira immediately, was shocked and started questioning stuff her  voice was in a panic"wait when could Charles speak?!!"

Kiki then turned over to Mira,with a bit of a remorseful face before speaking up "lately, I've been teaching Charles how to talk in English she still learning" Mira just looked at Kiki with a confused and surprised look 

"Incoming!!!" Raya said as she charges from above ready to hit Oktavia in the head which she successfully did it didn't do much damage, but it made a small crack then the crack started growing larger due to the ax being lodged in the crack and eventually the giant armor head broke into pieces

Raya landed towards next to the girls with a cocky smile jiko then spoke up and then irritated voice "why the hell did you run straight? I mean yes we got an open spot now but-Holy..crap" the girls looked upstartled, terrified, and Mira feeling a bit scared and uncomfortable

Oktavia helmet was removed, but instead it revealed a blue slimy mix of seafoam and blood for head and around three eyes that were all swirly with different colors. The lower armor helmet was still on, but it was not a pleasant site there was a small split on top of her head, but immediately regenerated

Oktavia then proceeded to slice her labyrinth floor in half breaking it and the floor crumbled there was another floor below it, but with a more blue theme to it however Raya immediately stretched out her limbs and grabbed her sword, took out her axe 

The labyrinth shifted around for a moment, so the girls and the witch could land properly as Kiki gone on the ground. She made sure to grab Charles along with Mira with her webs.

Raya immediately came up Oktavia hand, but just about if she could reach towards the head to let out a good blow. Multiple swords appeared around her, and by the time she couldn't dodge any of them as they immediately launched at her 

Yuri and jiko made their landing they stopped immediately. Oktavia also made a faith landing, but still had the helmet off her head, however Something launched to the ground making a puff of smoke yuri eyes widen, but then went back to a cold stare, whispering something "crap"

Mira got off of Yuri and ran towards the smoke "Raya ar-"  before mira could continuethe smoke revealed itself on the corner of the labyrinth Raya impaled by multiple swords, constantly bleeding there was one in her eye, her left arm her right ankle, her waist her side, even the chest, where her soul gem place was now shattered

Mira's eyes were shaking jiko confused for a minute looked over then her expression went horrified kiki only collapse on her knees as she covered Charles eyes  jiko immediately ran over, dropping her weapon before picking up Raya body "come on dumbass...wake up, wake up, goddamnit it's just prank, right" jiko could only cry and shake Raya body as she said that

Mira eyes only continued shaking and shaking then the right magenta eye was replaced with a goldish circle She heard thousands of voices in her head, begging to help. She then clutched onto her wand and turned it into a bazooka before shooting oktavia

After the smoke cleared up with oktavia armor all cracked up and dented Mira charged in again this time with a chainsaw and started wailing at her nonstop, cutting pieces off of her. She didn't think anything in the momentshe had this ongoing pain that wouldn't make her stop

"Mira, stop!" Yuri's voice cut through the chaos, but Mira couldn't hear it her one then turned into a flamethrower before finally burning Oktavia  eventually, her body turned into a greasy as the labyrinth vanished as the grief he rolled on the floor, tangled with a bit of seaweed on it

 "Mira, calm down for goodness sake this isn't you" Kiki, went over to Mira, trying to calm her down and comfort her immediately before she raised her one, turning into a gun and pointing it at her, the yellow circle, then disappeared before she lowered it

"I must say that was excellent and surprising" all four girls look to see kyubey blinking behind them

Future Us

Life has been hectic as ever.

Being a struggling law student does not make it any better. Taking law was not as easy as the 16 year old you had imagined. As a 16 year old, your thoughts of law was more to talking in court, defending the wrongly accused. Past you did not think of the hardships and the journey itself to become an actual attorney. Now entering a new semester, you have even more workload to hand in to your very tiresome lecturer.

You can feel the library’s cushioned chair now warming your bums as your mind goes haywire from all the typing you had to do for your next assignment. You would usually do your work in the library since free wifi was provided there even though the wifi would go down every once in a while.

You typed in a few more words in before you bring your arms over your head and stretched the life out of yourself.

“Give yourself a rest, man.” , says Sofea who was sitting across from you, a black pen in hand scribbling random notes in her mini notebook. You were so focused on trying to get your work done you completely forgot the existence of your other friend.

“I just wanna get this over with.” you replied now resting your head on your right hand, supporting it from your chin.

“You’ve been on it for hours now. Chill down a bit. Due date is in 2 weeks time anyway. You’re always pushing yourself like this.” Sofea says now rolling her eyes  while giving you the dirtiest look.

You frowned, not knowing what to reply back. What Sofea said is true. You sometimes overwork so much until fever starts engulfing you. Last minute work is just not your thing, you were always the first one in your department to hand in your work.

You sighed as you bring your hands together and place it above the keypads once again to continue what you started.  Your finger then hovered above the touchpad for a split second before you glided your finger across it to click on the 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘨𝘭𝘦 icon. You would need to search up a few informations on the internet for your next paragraph.

You typed out the words rather hastily on the google search section and clicked on the magnifying glass icon. The page refreshes itself but nothing loaded. You kept clicking on the refresh button hoping for the page to load. The page refreshes itself once again before directing you to the T-rex Dinosaur Game. Your eyes quickly glanced at the “wifi” icon, bottom right corner only to see a banned sign on it.

“Ah, shit. The wifi is down again today.” you say as you lean back against your chair letting out yet another long sigh.

“Hm? Really?” Sofea replied while pulling her phone out of her left pocket to check whether  the connection is really out. “Oh yeah…I didn’t even notice. Oh well, that’s a sign for you to give it a rest Rania.”

“Yeah, yeah whatever.” as you leaned towards your laptop again, a finger on your 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 button.

𝘔𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦,  you thought silently to yourself.

A minute passed and the game only made your stress worst. The jumping dinosaur on the screen of your laptop is slowly annoying the shit out of you.

𝘑𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳. The clicking of your space button becomes faster each second before you stopped when the dinosaur runs itself into a cactus.

𝘜𝘨𝘩 𝘪 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘰.

A tinge of familiarity suddenly hits you.

𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘋𝘪𝘯𝘰?

“Ah, Dino.”

The memory came rushing back.

7 years ago you made an anime fan account on twitter out of curiosity and boredom. Your first icon was a picture of Hanako-Kun from the anime Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun. You remember everything so well. The friends you’ve made there, the posts that blew up and the little fanfics you wrote of your favourite anime characters.

Dino was a friend you made on anime twitter. What a funny name now that you think about it. She was the first few friends you made along with someone named Elis. Elis on the other hand was someone you knew in real life and is still in touch with till this day. In fact, you were gonna go grab lunch with her right after this library session with Sofea.

The three of you were in a big group chat once too, where you met your closest friends on anime twitter. The group chat had the weirdest name, it was Foot Pic Store. FPS for short. The group chat consists of 30 members,  28 or 25? You don’t remember, but Dino was in it.

Dino was known as the angst writer on anime twitter along with another member named Jo. The both of them would always write heartbreaking stories that would leave you dumbfounded, hungry for more.  Dino is probably somewhere out there, rich and still crying over kageyama. Meanwhile Jo was recently accepted to an animation company to work as one of the animators.

There was someone who was from Oklahoma too. Kiah. She played on the national’s team once for volleyball. However, she didn’t continue her life career as a volleyball player and is now studying somewhere in California. Kiah was known as Dee’s so-called-girlfriend in FPS, another member in FPS. Dee bullies the other members a lot but she’s actually the sweetest person you would ever meet. Dee has been travelling a lot lately, not that you know how and where she’s getting all the money from. Probably found herself a rich Arabic man,  𝑊𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑎 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 is what she would say.

Speaking of travelling, another member of FPS is currently studying to become a pilot, Ira. You would usually call them beansie or beans as a nickname because they had a baked beans icon for a few days due to losing a bet made between them and their other friends.

“Beans” was also a ship name for the second youngest members in FPS, Bea and Anne. The memory of them screaming of how big an anime character’s private part is in the group chat was still fresh in your mind, especially Anne. Back in the days, Anne would randomly send pictures of her eyes to get conjunctivitis with you. What a weirdo, but who would’ve thought that weirdo would be studying to become an ophthalmologist. On the contrary, despite the young age, Bea is already working as a manager in one of the biggest franchise in her country.

Speaking of which, you have a few other members who was the same age as you too, Raya and Teddy. Raya is currently studying in one of the most  well known med school meanwhile Teddy is working her ass off to become a successful programmer of some sorts.

Most of the other members are still studying now too. Kaye is currently studying to become a chemist, Ren is studying to become better in cybersecurity to become an ethical hacker, Angi is continuing her studies in the economical field and Allie, just like you, is studying in the faculty of law.

The older generations of FPS are already working. Jade had just graduated and is now working as a new attorney, Ballan is a successful film maker by making films that would leave a big impact on the audience, Riv is working as a cardiothoracic surgeon and Cee has a job that that helps the ones in needs with her skills.

Sora and Ken on the other hand are living life to the fullest.  Ken is currently living with her friends with a few pet animals to make it more lively and is now working as a zoologist. Sora is now living in Japan with the love of her life and is taking care of her grandparents while balancing her life with school counseling.

You’ve lost contact with a few other members like Cat and Arrielle, but according to Elis, they are doing well in life as well.  

As for Hannah, she now has a job she’s happy with and is living with the best partner she could have asked for. Back then, all she wishes for was to find happiness and to be happy.You’re glad things are going well for her even though there are times where life gets rough, but you know she’s strong enough to go through it. 

Remembering all the old events 8 years ago made you somewhat emotional. The late night calls, the online games, the skipping school to chat, the roleplaying, the rigging every poll ever made on anime twitter, the horny chats, the matching layouts…

𝑩𝒁𝒁𝒁𝑻

A vibration from your phone  cuts you off from your daydream.

𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬: 𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦

“Ah, Sof I gotta go now” you say as you start packing up your notes and laptop into your lemon yellow tote bag.

“Elis is here?”

“Mhm.” You nod, still packing everything up.

“Oh by the way Rania, you made online friends before right?”

“Yeah, why?” you replied as you stood up pushing the chair under the table and slung your tote bag over your shoulder.

“Are you guys still in contact?” Sofea asked.

“Oh-“

𝑩𝒁𝒁𝒁𝑻

Another vibration from your phone cuts you off from finishing your sentence. You unlocked the screen of your phone and glided your hand in a downward motion on your screen, pulling the notification bar down.

“Hello?” Sofea said while waving a hand in front of you, clearly wanting the attention from you.

“Oh, sorry. What was the question again?”

“I was wondering if you’re still in contact with them.”

You paused as a smile starts forming itself on your lips,

“Yeah,” you replied,

“we’re still in contact.”

Al Fadzil Tn. Guru Ustaz Hj. Wee Ka Siong adalah seorang ulamak suci bagi Perikatan Nasional. Segala tindak tanduknya pasti direstui oleh para pejuang bangsa dan agama seperti Umno dan Pas. Jangan tak tau woii walaun2 dan macai2 semua.!!! - f/bk

Musang berbulu ayam 

siap siaga untuk PRU15...

Adakah Umno/BN sudah bersedia menjatuhkan kerajaan Melayu-Islam Perikatan Nasional pimpinan Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin bagi memaksa PRU ke-15 diadakan lebih awal? Bubarkan Parlimen dan adakan pilihan raya umum lebih awal adalah mantera Umno. Atau adakah kedua-dua mereka hendak membayangkan dan meyakinkan penyokong bahawa mereka akan lepas kes jenayah di Mahkamah? Umno/BN tidak rugi apa-apa. 

Mereka kalah PRU ke-14 tapi Muhyiddin pungut mereka dari pinggiran politik dan anugerahkan mereka jawatan Menteri, Menteri Besar dan GLC. Muhyiddin memberi mereka kuasa eksekutif dan sekali gus mengiktiraf Muafakat Nasional Umno-Pas. Dengan kekuatan jawatan Menteri, Menteri Besar dan GLC yang Muhyiddin berikan itu, Umno dan Pas kini mempunyai kekuatan menentukan kekal atau jatuh kerajaan Perikatan Nasional.

Dalam bahasa yang mudah, Muhyiddin dan feksyennya dalam Bersatu bergantung hayat kepada Umno dan Pas. Mampukah Bersatu feksyen Muhyiddin menentang Pakatan Harapan dan Muafakat Nasional dalam PRU akan datang? - a.kadir jasin Bila kaki rembat dan sakau berasa dirinya mulia dan yang paling kesian bila Parlimen bubar adalah Menteri2 dari geng lebai.Bukan setakat golden handshake tak dpt, pencen Menteri dan MP (utk kali pertama jadi MP) pun tak dpt!

Big questions waiting for answers...

We know that a few days ago former Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak met current Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at the latter's residence. And they talked. What did they talk about? I don't know. Could it be that Najib was lobbying for his son to be the Umno candidate to contest the Chini by-election on July 4? Maybe, but I can't say for sure. But somehow Zahid saw it right to post on Facebook photos of him meeting Najib and entourage. That's not all. As we know, he also proudly proclaimed "Kami sudah siap untuk PRU15. Adakah anda semua sudah bersedia bersama kami?" Or "We are ready for GE15. Are you all ready to be with us?" By "kami" or "we" was Zahid talking about himself and Najib and their people? It's a no-brainer Umno has its share of factions despite the public show of unity. Or was Zahid as president talking in the name of Umno to say that his entire party is ready for polls? The general consensus among political observers, commentators and analysts is that Zahid was referring to Umno the party. And when he posed the question "are you ready to be with us", was he referring to Umno members and supporters, or the rakyat generally? Never mind that. Let's move on to the big questions. When he said general election 15, was he talking of a snap election or the GE15 which is supposed to beheld some three years from now? Head of Research at Ilham Center Professor Dr Yusri Ibrahim says chances of election be called anytime soon are slim. Elections, Yusri reminds us, can only be called when the prime minister seek the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve the Parliament. Considering the precarious situation the Perikatan Nasional government is in right now, it is most unlikely that prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin would advise the King to dissolve the Parliament for a snap election,says Yusri. True. However, snap election could be a possibility if Pakatan Harapan and allies, or the Umno-PAS pact move against Muhyiddin who currently holds a razor thin majority in the Parliament. Anyway, whether a snap election now or election three years from now, Umno has declared earlier that it would have no qualms to field its candidates against Muhyiddin's Bersatu in seats Umno considers its "traditionally". This they say despite being part of the Muhyiddin administration.

Datuk A Kadir Jasin, Bersatu supreme council member aligned to Tun Mahathir Mohamad, has an interesting poser – "Is Umno-BN ready to topple the Malay-Muslim Perikatan Nasional led by Muhyiddin to force GE15 to be held earlier?" Judging from what Zahid said, it is not wrong to say that he and Najib want to be involved, or put it simply both want to contest GE15 snap or otherwise. But how about the court charges they are now facing? I agree with Kadir in asking this: "Are the two of them foreshadowing and assuring their supporters that they would be freed of their criminal cases in court?" as reported by MalaysiaKini.. That to me is a very big question. Zahid sounded confident when he announced Umno's readiness to face election. But the thing is, Umno as well PAS had "clamored" for snap elections even during the Pakatan Harapan rule, saying their pact known as Muafakat Nasional will win to rule Malaysia. First of all. they had pointed to the seats won by Pakatan Harapan in GE14 by slim margins. As Umno and PAS see it, the combined votes won by both parties were more than the votes obtained by Harapan in winning the seats. So, they say in the next election the same number of votes will be given to just Umno or PAS as only either of them will be contesting. Hence, that would be enough for Muafakat Nasional to win those seats. But Ilham Center CEO Azlan Zainal has often told me it is not as simple as that. A lot of things need to be considered, including issues of the day, the candidates, locations,demographics and what not. "It's not like transferring of fund via online banking," he told me months ago. Still Umno and, to an extent, PAS have always said they are confident of winning when they contest as one entity, i.e. Muafakat Nasional. But there are many problems to be faced, and they know it. A big issue will be the allocation of seats, and who to contest where. The seats Umno and PAS are targeting are the same seats they have contested in every election, but against each other! Come next election they will have to make big sacrifices in letting go of their so-called traditional seats. While the incumbents would most likely be allowed to take another shot in defending their respective seats, problems will arise in seats where both Umno and PAS claim they can win.

Lots of give-and-take would be needed. Up till now Umno and PAS seem to be sweeping the problem under the carpet, perhaps adopting the "we will cross the bridge when we come to it" attitude. But Umno and PAS had their chance of putting this to test when political observers suggested they accommodate each other for exco positions in states which they were ruling. Like in PAS-held Kelantan and Terengganu. and Umno-BN's Pahang and Perlis. This was following the results of GE14. But the suggestions by analysts were ignored. Now there is a suggestion made by Ilham Center's Yusri that Umno make way for PAS to contest the Chini by-election to prove its sincerity and appreciation for PAS' contributions to Umno. It is almost certain that Umno will win the Chini seat. But Umno is said to be considering Datuk Nizar Najib,son of former PM Najib, to contest the seat. There are many more problems which the two parties need to iron out in facing the next election. Hence, I ask if the show of confidence is genuine or merely a case of bravado. Then there's the question of non-Malay Muslim votes. To state the obvious, a political coalition can only win the election in Malaysia with the support of all people of different races, communities and religions. A strong support of Malays and non-Malays is of utmost importance. Umno and PAS know this. On their own to win non-Malay votes is very hard, if not impossible. They will have to bank on MCA and MIC to deliver the non-Malay votes. No easy feat considering the state of affairs in both parties and also on how Umno and PAS have hurt the feelings of non-Malays in the past and even not too long ago. I'll end with this. During the political coup in February, Gabungan Parti Sarawak's Tan Sri James Masing was on record saying GPS was more comfortable working with PAS than DAP. A few weeks ago, he was also on record saying he was doubting PAS' sincerity when the party suggested the federal government suspend the production and sale of liquors to prevent drunk driving. - Mohsin Abdullah,sinchewdaily

Desperation Hits PN With Election Talk...

Former premier Najib Abdul Razak has .. said Umno is prepared in the event Parliament is dissolved if Pakatan Harapan only manages to secure a slim majority with “bought” MPs.

What better admission than this sudden talk of an election that PN has failed to achieve its back door coup through its own strategy of bought MPs? These two pampered political warlords know that ‘PM8′ cannot command a majority, even after the three month breather provided by the Covid pandemic during which they have handed out jobs and bribes to anyone who will take them. Both these desperadoes have scores of charges against them for vast amounts of graft and abuse of office and they plainly don’t want to swap their Italian furnished palaces for reflection in a spartan cell. There is likely not to even be time to ‘plea bargain’ their way out of those charges before PN falls, so today they embarked on this last desperate gambit to engineer an untimely election instead. And naturally they did so with a level of cheek and double standards to leave honest folk gasping breathless.

Thus, whilst it was fine for PN to claim a working majority with at the best 2 MPs, Najib today announced such an arrangement would be intolerable if the shoe was on the other foot. In the process he of course is admitting that defections are making certain the balance will be the other way with a PH advantage. So, now he says this slim majority is no longer ‘workable’ and is ‘unstable’. He wants the Agong to ‘use his wisdom’ and call and election unless the ‘slim majority’ belongs to PN. With even more brass neck he accuses PH of seeking to “buy” the defecting MPs who have become increasingly sick of the lies, the graft and infighting under PN. This from a bunch of conspirators who have been embarrassingly recorded in flagrante delicto describing this very process of buying MPs as their own key strategy for luring them away from the parties they were elected to represent at the last election. MPs returning to Harapan will be returning to what their voters wanted. Meanwhile, these two UMNO kleptocrats appear to think they have stirred up sufficient trouble, strife and hatred in Malaysia over the past two years that voters will give up all hopes of reform and vote their thieving parties back. More to the point, what other options do they have besides one last gamble with an election now that their coup has cratered? - Sarawak Report

Aku Benar-Benar Bosan II

AB-39-05

Balada perkulihan gue sepertinya tidak ada tikungan turun naik alias duatar poll, kelas gue kelas yang dengan manusia terindividualis entahlah, entah individualis atau terlalu banyak karakter yang kontras jadinya susah nyatu. Oiya kenangan yang paling di inget adalah saat EFBA (Entrepreneur Festival Business Administration) untuk mengampu matakuliah kewirausahaan kita sekelas kudu buka tenant gitu di EFBA dan anak kelas dibagi jadi dua kelompok, bukannya dikasih tugas bareng makin deket makin solid dan makin kompak yang ada malah makin jadi kubu-kubuan kacau bener emang kelas gue hahahaha tapi enaknya anak-anaknya tersantuyy 

Senyebelin apapun dosen anak-anak kelas paling bisa ngajakin dosen becanda macam Bu Ai, Bu Arlin yang tiba-tiba jadi cenayangin nasib anak kelas, Pak Astadi super duper garang dan kekar bisa dibikin kesengsem, Bu Nadya yang nyebelin aja bisa nurut sama anak kelas ahhhhh kangeeenn jugaaa

Kejadian unik yang paling gue inget semasa awal kulliah adalah saat nilai ujian gue paling kecil dan gue nangis sepanjang jalan menuju asrama wkwkwkwk iya iyaa gue masih anak yang baik pada zamannya, absen semua 100% mata kuliah ada 8 dan full 24 sks demi mewujudkan visi misi 3,5 tahun. Waktu itu mata kuliah bahasa inggris bisnis dan gue dapet nilai 25, whattt?? Iya Cuma 25 dari grade 0-100 seketika gue pengen nyungsep kelantai sambil ngesot ke asrama gegara malu sama diri sendiri dapet nilai ujian cuma 25, ternyata eh ternyata kertas ujiannya ketuker loh, kok bisa? 

Ya iya bapaknya sangat perfeksionis jadi jawab ujian kudu berurutan no 1 sampe 8 dan ketika itu gue jawabnya ngacak baru dua nomer trus disuruh ganti, eh yg diperiksa bapak e yang lembar jawaban yang salah alhasil gue harus ikut ujian susulan dan taraaaaaa nilainya berubah jadi 85 yeyeyeeeee wkwkwkwk, ya gitulah tahun pertama kuliah hidup gue  Cuma mikirin kuliah dan tune bagus ga ya di asrama, lancar ga ya?

Tak kasih poto-poto ya biar rame aja

Memulai menjadi manusia kura-kura (Kuliah rapat kuliah rapat)

Setelah setahun sudah menjadi kuncen asrama akhirnya memutuskan untuk menjadi manusia yang bermanfaat, bermartabat dan bermasyarakat wkkwkwk mencoba mengarungi lautan UKM Kampus, nyemplung panitia ini dan itu, ikut rekruitasi pengurus ini dan itu, pada akhirnya gue kejebak di UKM Rumah Gadang yang isinya manusia asal Sumatra Barat Raya sebagai panitia acara, ikut volunteer sebagai sekretaris di Tel-u Minang for RIAU with USBM  dalam rangka penggalangan dana untuk bencana kabut asap, Ikut jadi anggota SEARCH, trus jadi pengurus di Badan Mentoring, dan terakhir yang kekal abadi selamanya di Tel-u jadi pengurus di KOPMA

Banyak cerita menarik sih kalo yang ini, banyak ketemu karakter orang-orang baru, banyak kisah inspiratif, belajar manage waktu, disiplin, memimpin, kerja sama tim, sampe dibentak-bentak juga pernah hahaha

Ini masa-masa jadi panitia di Alek Rumah Gadang semacam pentas seni gitu, ini juga pertama kali jadi panitia nombok sekian ratus ribu karna danusan dan tiket yang ga kejual, adeq misqueen jadi panitia :( rela ga rela sih hahahaha

Ini semasa mengabdikan diri di Badan Mentoring jadi samacam lab praktikum gitu gaess tugasnya mulai dari nge rekrut mentor sampe mecat mentor juga hahaha, ga ga gamecat juga sih wkwkwk tugasnya disini nyari insan-insan yang mau jadi asisten praktikum agama islam, bisa diliatkan isinya ughtea dan akhi-akhi mulya, mereka orang-orang luar biasa semua mulai dari yang hafal 30 juz quran, beasiswa full ke turky, jadi narasumber di berbagai workshop, IPK nya 4 sempurna, bahasa inggrisnya udah kaya ngomong indo, ketua BEM Fakultas, penulis buku, duh mashallah mereka semua benar-benar luar biasa gue berasa jadi upil doang disana, ughtea juga amatiran, hafalan quran ga banyak, ngomong juga sarkas aahhh malu sama diri sendiri. Namun demikian gue juga bangga lolos jadi pengurus disini artinya gue juga ngga kafir-kafir amat hehehehe

Hal yang paling nyenengin disini tuh apa-apa tuh gratis dan serba mewah, kalo bikin acara gapernah bayar, yang ada dibayar, gue masih inget banget waktu tu habis acara ICB trus masih nyisain nasi kotak sekitar 85an dan kita panitia cuma ber12 alhasil gue bisa bawa nasi kotak 12 kotak pulang dan dibagi-bagiin ke temen2 di ukm sebelah. Waktu selesai sekolah mentor juga gue bisa bawa beng-beng, momogi, slai o lai masing-masing 1 kotak bukan satu bungkus yaaa satu kotaak hedon ga tuh?? Dibalik ini semua ada rapat pagi-pagi jam setengah 6, bayangin gue rapat setengah 6 pagi dan jalan dari kosan jam 5 pagi, rada mengumpat sih ya tapii gimana jugaa harus tanggung jawab.

Tapi ya sayang seribu sayang gue rada kurang nyaman aja disini, gue masih ughtea yang amatiran pake kerudung juga seadanya, gue ngira bergaul dengan mereka bisa membuat kerudung gue makin lebar apalagi berada pada lingkungan orang yang shalih dan shalehah gitu nyatanya gue menjadi bulan-bulanan petinggi-petinggi disana katanya engga ini lah itulah dan dengan kadar iman yang tipis ini gue merasa terkucilkan. Rada kecewa sih harusnya mereka welcome dengan orang-orang kaya gue dan se enggaknya bisa motivasi ke yg lebih baik tapi nyatanya mereka hanya wecome kepada orang-orang yang imannya sama seperti mereka, disini gue belajar untuk menghargai orang lain yang udah mau berhijab walopun hijabnya cuma nutupin rambut tok, se engganya dia udah usaha, yang dubutuhin orang seperti mereka adalah dukungan dari lingkungan bukannya hujatan dan cacian, mungkin teman2 tau kisahnya Salmafina Sunan, so you can make a conclusion of that.....

Nah kalo yang ini jadi volunteer di USBM, ga boong disini isinya cowo2 teknik semua dan cakep cakep wkkwkkwkwk apalagi yg pake kemeja putih dibelakang hahaha

Akhir dari berkelana mengarungi samudra luas perUKMan ini adalah di Kopma, kalo yang ini awalnya cuma iseng-iseng berhadiah eh malah betah sampe 3 tahun, banyak kisah sih saking banyaknya gue males nulis nya hahaha

Hi everyone! So I am on a mission to become more involved with the community and you all seem to like my history challenge so I thought, why not allow them to vote for an heir? So since there’s not really an “heir” so to speak in the history challenge, the purpose for this voting poll is who my story will center around, and who’s children will progress the family onto the next era. That doesn’t mean that the “spares” won’t have children or be a part of the story, this is just who I am going to focus mainly on. I know you don’t know a lot about the kids in the challenge so I’ll tell you a little about each one and how their story will go.

Anzu - Being the only male besides his father has put great stress on Anzu to be a leader. He is very driven to rule over people and take care of them as well. He is very protective over his younger siblings as well as his mothers, Eev and Tala. His motivation to be successful sometimes leads him to be inconsiderate of peoples emotions and to not worry so much about personal relationships but more about achieving his goals and leading his tribe. 

Raya - Polar opposite of her brother, Raya is an emotional thinker. She rarely makes decisions based on logic, but rather on how SHE feels. Promiscuous to a certain degree, Raya’s main goal in life is to find love, but she doesn’t mind exploring a bit before that happens. Her desire to find a mate as well as a bit of selfishness can lead Raya to be found in some tricky situations involving love interests and partners.

Kissa - Being the middle child has left Kissa a shy, yet naive type. She often believes only in the good in people and never thinks that anyone has a bad side at first glance. This can be especially dangerous when dealing with people outside of her family because of her desire to trust too easily. She’s always cheerful and ready to take on the day and that makes her the highlight of almost everyone’s week.

Panya - Sick most of her childhood has left Panya very weak and frail. She is scared of the world and mostly spends her time indoors reading books or writing. She is very paranoid about germs and cleanliness and this causes her to be very wary of human touch. This often annoys people because her gentle aura is very alluring and they find themselves being drawn towards her mysterious personality. 

Oni - Ah the fire of the family. Oni has a very bold personality. She rarely listens to what anyone tells her to do and often questions anything and everything. She has always butted heads with her parental figures, venturing off on her own to find out how things work by herself. She’s an inventor type, always wanting to learn new things and progress forward. She can sometimes seem a little rude or off-putting and being the youngest has made her feel like an outcast in the family. This has created trust issues with other people and can possible cause problems in life with mates because of her desire to be so independent and resist conforming. 

I really need everyone to vote for their favorite before I can continue the story! The poll will close today at 5:00 p.m. Thanks!
