bring me home / bring me home thoughts of you will bring me home as the sun may rise with crashing tides oh, you will bring me home
oh, at home there's my darling [The name here is muffled. Two syllables.] and i miss him all day long he has strange style / but he makes me smile and for him i will stay strong
#skillsposting#radio station: volta original#one volta a day#history facts for this volta: this song is known as ''Bring Me Home'' with no known original artist.#a popular group shanty where different crew members would individually sing the second verse before rejoining for the group chorus#its first recorded use was on the Graadian sea vessel ''The Irbis Infallible'' in order to keep the crew awake during a long night of the#revolution. The song was sung for an hour and a half as the 23 crew members went down a list of family members; lovers and friends#the verses works like this: after the chorus an individual would start the ''oh'' to signal they wanted to sing. (if two or more people#started singing at the same time then it's in order of seniority on the vessel; older crew member goes first). depending on the syllables#in the loved one's name or the adjective/title they want to use (''my darling'' is just the song's standard) they'd alter the first line#lines 2 and 4 of the verse (''and i miss'' and ''and for him'') are usually the same besides switching out appropriate pronouns#line 3 doesn't always have to be a couplet but it sounds better if it is. this line is for describing the loved one's qualities that you#remember fondly. since pale exposure messes with the mind; to be able to remember little details about them in song boosts memory#after the verse everyone rejoins for the ''bring me home'' chorus and the cycle repeats.#the lieutenant has had this verse planned since the day after the tribunal. he has an old one for... someone else. and one for DeMettrie.#(DeMettrie also has a verse thought out for him. in the first line she stretches out his name to ''Kimmy'' to better fit the meter#in the past they made a game of increasingly adding titles/endearments to the point where they have to speed through to fit the meter#''at home there's my darlinglieutenantkimmykitsuragi~!'' ''at home there's my dearestdarlingcommunicationsofficeralicedemettrie'')#ooc oh this was not supposed to be this long. i love making fake lore for songs.

fic premise: when hank and connor reunite and hug it out at chicken feed, hank realizes that deviancy isn't the only new thing about connor. he's got trauma now too.
In the aftermath of the Android Revolution, Connor had been busy. His missions were clear: organize security and make New Jericho safe for androids. That was clear. Many days were spent organizing and meeting and talking and surveilling and patrolling and discussing. Androids didn’t need sleep. They could just keep performing tasks endlessly. And so that’s what Connor did. He kept going and going. Distracting himself. Completing his missions. It wasn’t that Connor was hesitant to go into stasis. That he was reminded how he would go into stasis every time he reported to Cyberlife. Every time he was in the Zen Garden. Every time he saw Amanda. He wasn't afraid that if he went into stasis they would seize control again. Connor was just busy. Busy completing his new missions.  
And then 3 weeks passed. And then suddenly he was told to rest. 
“I’ve seen you working Connor. You haven’t stopped and I know you’re up doing patrols while the rest of us go into stasis,” Markus said one day when it felt like things were finally settling down. “You need a break.” 
“Markus, I don't need a break. I can function optimally as I am.” 
“I’m not taking no for an answer. I’m telling you to rest. Take a break for a day. You can get back to fulfilling your role here tomorrow. Now go rest.” 
Connor knew he could probably persist or ignore his orders. But Connor vowed to make up for what he had done in the past by helping Markus. And if Markus was issuing a command, he was going to follow through.  
“Got it,” he replied.  
“Thank you. See you here tomorrow.” 
Connor left the warehouse that was New Jericho’s temporary HQ and started walking. He could stick around New Jericho, but he knew some deviants still felt discomforted by his presence. Plus, with how crowded it was, it'd be difficult to find a place for him to idle without bothering anyone. And he didn't like being idle anyway.
He considered calling for a cab, but he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to do that anymore. Cyberlife had covered any extraneous costs that were incurred while he worked on cases, but now that he severed himself from Cyberlife he was certain that they would not be covering those expenses. Besides, he didn’t know where he wanted to go. So he just walked. He flipped his coin absently as he did. He was supposed to be taking a break. But he had no where to go. When he went deviant, he lost all directive. He could no longer go back to Cyberlife.
He flipped his coin as he came at an intersection. Heads was left. Tails was right. Heads. He did that many times until he realized that he was near somewhere familiar. A soft snow had begun falling and Connor realized he was approaching Chicken Feed, the food truck Hank had taken him to when they worked together. Hank.
Connor had not seen Hank since the night of the Android Revolution. In the midst of all the androids awakening another at the Cyberlife Tower, Connor suggested that Hank leave since it could get dangerous. Hank agreed and Connor escorted him out of the building along with the army of new deviants.  
Before Hank got in the car that the other Connor had tricked him into driving here, Connor announced, “Lieutenant, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be your partner at the DPD. I only worked there under the collaborative directive between the DPD and Cyberlife. I have since terminated my associations with Cyberlife.” 
“No shit, kid.” 
Connor hesitated before continuing. “I’m sorry you got dragged into all of this, but I really did enjoy our time together, Hank. Perhaps, we will meet again.” 
Hank grasped his shoulder and gave it a squeeze. “Come visit me, kid. When things have settled down. You know where to find me.” 
“Past experience suggests that you are not always where you're supposed to be,” Connor said a hint of a smile on his lips. 
Hank laughed, “That never stopped you from finding me before.” 
The likelihood of Hank being here at the same time as Connor was very low. The food truck wouldn't be open and many humans have already evacuated Detroit. In fact, the probability of Hank being here while Connor was at this time of day was 0.8%. But Connor rounded the corner anyway. He had nowhere else to be. He was supposed to be on a break. And then he saw something in the distance. A large figure cutting against the white backdrop of the snow. 
Connor quickened his pace. A scan confirmed it. It was Hank. Hank turned as if expecting him and took a few steps toward him. They stopped short a couple feet of each other. Connor was unsure of what to say. He wasn’t sure what he should say. But Hank cracked a smile and Connor couldn’t help but crack one too. The lieutenant then stepped forward and pulled him into a hug. Connor had never hugged before. But he instinctually lifted his arms to reciprocate the hug. Hank's hand was at his neck holding him in place and it felt... comforting.
They stayed quiet before Hank finally released him. Hank had been worried that the revolution was gonna fail somehow. That he was going to lose Connor.  It hadn’t and he hadn’t. Everything turned out okay for the most part. Hank opted to hold Connor out at arm's length, hands on his shoulders. “It's been awhile. Thought you had forgotten about me.” 
“Androids don't forget unless our memory is reset.” 
“It’s just an expression.” Hank grinned. “Surprised you found me out here at this time of day.” 
“I was not seeking you… It happened by chance.” 
Hank furrowed his eyebrows. “Seriously?” 
“I was told to take a break. So I walked and arrived here.” 
Hank laughed. “They told you to take a break, eh? I’m taking one too. What do they got you doing out there?” 
They began a slow walk around the area as they swapped stories. The DPD was in chaos with all the precinct changes and trying to manage the evacuation and handling looters and protesters. It was difficult work.  
“The workload would be a helluva lot easier if you still worked there.” 
“I did increase your productivity by 87% while we were partners.” 
“You pull those number out of your ass?” 
“It was based off performance re—” 
“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” Hank said with a nonchalant hand wave. He had learned it was better to just cut off Connor sometimes. Hank eyed the darkening sky and the increased snowfall. “Let’s go. The snows really piling on.”
And indeed it did. The snow fell faster quickly after. The temperature dropping that even Connor’s HUD showed a warning that he would soon be outside of optimal operation range. The wind picked up a flurry of snow wrapping around him. It felt cold.  
And he was back in the Zen Garden. A figure appeared in front of him through the blizzarding snow. It was Amanda. “We just had to wait for the right moment to resume control of your program."
...
Hank began to quickly shuffle to his car as the snow and wind began to bluster around him. “Damn, might not be able to drive if it gets any worse,” he called back. 
No response.  
He turned and saw Connor had fallen behind him a bit. “Con—” 
A bright pulsing red LED caught Hank’s attention. Something was wrong. Hank ran over. “Connor!” he called. Connor’s eyelids were fluttering. His arms wrapped protectively around himself. He grasped Connor’s shoulders and shook him. “Connor? What’s wrong? Connor!” he called. The once gentle snow becoming a blizzard.
Connor finally responded to the haphazard shaking. His eyes rapidly blinking until they finally focused on the lieutenant. LED shifting to yellow. “Hank?” 
“C’mon kid,” he called as he pulled Connor toward the car. They entered and Hank turned it on. The storm made the visibility low so they would have to wait it out for now before driving home. 
Hank dusted off some of the snow and eyed Connor who still seemed a bit unfocused. His LED spun yellow 3 more times before switching back to blue. 
“What the hell happened back there?” 
“What are you referring to, Lieutenant?” 
“You stopped back there and.. your light was red. What happened?” 
Connor looked away. His blue light turning yellow briefly as he thought. Hank could see the glow off the window. “I don’t know.” His arms were still tightly wrapped around his chest. Remembering the cold.  
“Is it too cold or something?” Hank questioned. He didn’t really know how androids worked, but maybe they weren’t supposed to be out in the snow for that long. Hell, Connor was wearing just that thin blazer he always wore. He must be cold. Hank began taking off his jacket and turned up the heater. 
“I am functional until temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit.” 
Hank tossed him his jacket. 
“I assure you that you need a jacket more than I do. Androids don’t feel the effects of the cold unless its well below freezing.” 
“Well, ya look cold.” 
“Lieutenant—” 
“Just put it on.” 
The car’s temperature was warm enough for a human to be relatively comfortable even without a jacket so Connor obliged to appease Hank.  
Hank sighed. “So if it wasn’t the cold, what caused your err… malfunction?” He wasn’t sure what word he should use to describe what happened to Connor. 
Connor wasn’t sure if he wanted to tell the truth or lie. He considered Hank a friend. Previously, it had been a part of his programming to cooperate with his partner. But now there was no end goal or reason to remain close to Hank. They weren’t solving a case. But Connor still wanted his company.  
“A recording of a memory replayed in my head that I had not pulled up intentionally.” His LED was spinning yellow. 
“A recording of a memory… so like a flashback?” 
“That is the equivalent human experience.” 
“I take it, it wasn’t a very good memory.” 
Connor closed his eyes. LED flashing. Yellow. Red. Yellow. He opened his eyes again. “It was not.” 
Hank studied Connor’s face. It was neutral now, but not the usual neutral face he usually sported. There was a lightness to that neutral face. A brightness in his eyes. There was tension in this one. His eyes flickered to Connor’s reflection in the opposite window. LED still yellow.
Could androids get PTSD? If their brains were wired like a humans, maybe they could. There were cases where androids would go through trauma and injury causing them to deviate and they were sent for reprogramming. Or disassembled. It had been so natural at the time, but the thought of that now made his stomach turn. There was no way in hell he’d let that happen to Connor. They’d find another solution. But what the hell would Connor even find traumatic?  
Hank recalled the first time he had remembered it turning red. This was before he learned what the colors really meant. He had seen interrogated android’s LEDs flicker red or yellow previously so he knew what it generally meant stress or something. But he never gave it much thought. Until he saw Connor’s go red.
Against Hank’s orders, Connor had dived into the middle of gunfire to try to read a deviant’s memories. The deviant shot himself in the head and Hank had come running after Connor panicked that he had been injured. He grabbed the android to see if he was hurt. And berated him with a mix of anger and relief when Connor said he was okay. And then Connor admitted he was scared. And Hank hesitated. Noticed the red LED for the first time. Before Hank could even come up with something to say, Connor was back to his usual self. Focus. Driven. Blue LED. Back to the mission. Revealing the clue he had found out about Jericho. It almost gave Hank mental whiplash. He had seemed so frightened but now he was back to normal. At the time, he figured androids didn’t hold onto trauma like that. But now, he suspected Connor was just really good at pushing it down for the sake of the mission. 
He later learned that red was an indicator of severe distress. So he started paying attention to the color of Connor’s LED.  
The second time he had seen Connor’s LED go red was when they were at Kamski’s house. Hank didn’t like Kamski. Everything about him screamed he was a pompous asshole living in his ivory tower. Him and his fucking Kamski Test. Connor had almost shot that android girl. But despite Kamski’s persistence, he relented, his LED flashing red. Hank was so relieved he hadn’t really noticed at the time. Not until he was back in the car driving back to the station.  
It was strange. Even with a gun to his face and his life on the line, Connor’s LED only ever was yellow. Real physical danger never seemed to distress Connor. Feeling scared. Feeling empathy. Those are what had distressed Connor. What made his LED flash red. Acknowledging emotions before he had deviated. So what emotion had triggered it today? 
“Do you want to talk about it?” The snowstorm had lightened up; the blizzard passing. A light flurry of snow remained.  
Yellow. Red. Yellow. If Hank hadn’t been staring he would have missed it. 
“No.” 
Hank sighed. He knew what it was like for people to pry so he wouldn’t. “Let’s go to my place.” 
-end-

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?
Natalie Robyn will leave the role of CEO of FIA after little over one year in the position after a “mutual agreement”
there is a rumour about Logan’s manager speaking to Haas for the opportunity of American team hiring American driver from next season onwards (reminder that Kevin is likely out of contention, Ollie is the hottest candidate and Guanyu is next in talks with Haas according to the paddock gossip)
the Chicago GP was denied …for now (so at this point you have to consider it being a possibility, potentially rotating circuit?)
Merc apparently offered Carlos a one year contract, since they want to keep their options open (potentially for Max leaving or for Kimi stepping up into the team), Red Bull is keen on keeping Checo (although Marko denied they would give him the 3 years contract extension he would like to get) so that door is closing, Audi reportedly extended the deadline on the decision from Carlos till around Monaco
there will be a special edition of Ferrari Trento on the podium this weekend (I’m adding a picture below) and special awards with names of previous winners including people of Emilia Romagna for the year 2023
Williams posted Lap of Legends with Logan driving against AI programmed legends (Andretti, Hill, Manson, Prost, Button, Villeneuve)
Alex Albon extended his Williams contract on multiple year basis (meaning he will be driving with the team through the new regs, but with Fred and Charles starting a new fashion in F1, we simply don’t know how long exactly that contract is)
Domenicali confirmed 25 races a season is a maximum stated by the Concorde Agreement, but he wants to expand F1 calendar in other ways (rotating circuits, more sprints, some journals even talk about sprints at every race weekend)
Ferrari esports team won the constructor championship
Max is supposed to be joining Team Redline this weekend because apart from Imola he is said to be racing in virtual 24 hours of Nürburgring (but with how their weekend is going so far? who knows)
F3 drivers Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne became members of the McLaren junior academy
speaking of juniors, Nikola Tsolov, Martinius Stenshorne and Arvid Linblad (Alpine, McLaren and Red Bull juniors) broke the sporting code by racing in different series without announcing it (the reports differ about who raced where, if they announced it to their teams or to FIA) – the result is, Tsolov and Stenshorne will get a race ban, one of Spa, one for Silverstone, and Lindblad will only get a fine, because he didn’t race in a full race just took a part in testing/practice before the real race
reminder for people watching Sky Sports, that David Croft won’t be in this weekend, and Harry Benjamin is stepping in his place
FIA is considering a different penalty system for continuous penalties and for the situation where a driver gains advantage by leaving the track (Kevin started a revolution)
Domenicali also spoke about a possible engine change for 2030 regulations as the feedback from fans is that they miss the good old sound of F1 (so possibly more noise)
team principals (and Domenicali) had a shared dinner together in Imola and Andrea Stella didn’t get the memo about the dress code for the night
More than Equal initiative founded by David Coulthard and a Czech businessman Karel Komárek started a driver development programme with first 6 female drivers between 13 and 14 years from across the world including Czechia and Slovakia (and 4 more female drivers under the age of 13 got their backing)
31st world stars charity football match between star team for the children and all stars drivers will be held in Monaco on 21st May (we have yet to get confirmed who will be present)
Adrian Newey said he is ready to join another team after a short holiday and according to Jonathan Mcaboy, he already signed with Ferrari
in the latest interview James Vowles reminded that letting go of Logan in the middle of the season is not planned but he has to be open and say that he is at risk of losing his seat for next season because they are talking to 4-5 other drivers (he also said that their car is about 15 kgs overweight and their new upgrade introduced here is meant to fight that problem)
head aerodynamicist Gioacchino Vino is leaving Mercedes but they will get Simone Resta (strategy) and Enrico Sampo (performance) joining as soon as in October (side note: some reports say Vino was poached by Ferrari but 1: it is one not very reliable source, I highly doubt this is a figure Ferrari would go for and there are also reports it was not his choice to leave the team)
Pierre will run an auction for his tribute helmet for Senna after this weekend and donate the money to his charity
Charles said that Xavi leaving was a team decision, and he was informed after Miami
Valtteri Bottas held talks with James Vowles behind closed doors in Imola

2nd Week; 5 movies for Lolitas
Hiii (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ You know, I´m something of a movie buff. However, this time I didn´t go for the best, or even the ones I enjoyed most (even if I liked all of the entries, of course) or even the objectivelly (critically) best ones. I think that those are good films for lolitas for various reasons. And spoiler - you won´t find Kamikaze Girls nor Marie Antoinette there.  1. Gypsy 83 Gypsy 83 is actually a goth film, but I feel like everyone who is a part of some subculture should see it. It´s about two friends, one who is struggling as a gay goth kid from a conservative town and one who is a plus size woman (with a lot of mommy issues) and their way to New York for Stevie Nicks night. Speaking of quality in road trip genre, it´s not another Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but it´s about being true to yourself, even if your surroundings continue to let you down. Also, I love the soundtrack and wardrobes of our main characters! Honestly, maybe just skip it and watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? Less goths, but more drag queens.  2. Devil Wears Prada What does beggining of worst era for style and setting in a fashion magazine in common with EGL?  Honest love for fashion. Everyone who likes to watch out for trends, or likes their history, should watch this movie about people willing to do everything for fashion. Also, Meryl Streep is really chic here. Everyone feeling too old to dress nicely should watch her. 
3. Angelika Even though this might look a bit rough, the story is set in baroque and magnificent French castles. Gothic and baroque - the most lolita-sque of all historical styles.  If beautiful set isn´t enough, you will still love costumes! Angelika has a big wardrobe, so everyone will find something.If you don´t know this series of films, you should read about it first. It´s quite explicit, so you might prepare for it. 4. Adéla ještě nevečeřela/Ádela Has Not Had Her Supper Yet Czech film, a period detective sci-fi comedy. We made a lot of them, it was hard to film something contemporary (and even harder to make it any good) during socialism.   The influence of Edwardian era on lolita shouldn´t be underplayed, which is why I recommend Downton Abbey, but this feels closer to me. Adéla is a very funny detective comedy with great stylization, which makes it cool to watch even if you don´t enjoy the costumes.  Fun fact: Robert Redford was supposed to play main character.
Honorable mention goes to Titanic. 5. Amadeus I heard it´s one of the best films around? Well, it´s not my favourite, even if I adore Miloš Forman, but it´s gorgeous. From costumes, to pre-revolution Prague (don´t let them fool you, Vienna wouldn´t be so fabulour in 1988). Since it´s about the one and only Mozart, a lot of scenes are in opera, which is fabulous. And the mascarade scene? Roccoco i sone of my favourite eras, and it´s depicted beautifully here. Dear god. Theodore Pištěk won Academy Award for this and it´s easy to see why.

My Hottest Fanfic: Luffy Doesn't Post Fanfiction for 3 Months and Gets Deported to Adopt Me 😈⛓️🔞🥵
It’s been three months since my last fanfic, and you haven’t been waiting for no reason.  😈⛓ They say to live life on the edge but this will make you finish at lightning speed ⚡💦🌊
Luffy yawned as he awoke at sea in his bedchamber. He stretched his limbs until he could feel the ceiling and then pulled himself out of bed. Last night he’d partied a bit too hard and crashed into his bed without changing into pajamas. There weren’t many options on the ship, so he decided to stick with the same clothes. He opened up the rugged wooden door to his room, but was shocked by a girl standing there. “Who the hell are you?!” he loudly shrieked. He heard a soft chuckle coming from Zoro at the other side of the ship.
“I’m whatever that girl’s name was from middle school. Like Alistair but I think I got that spelling wrong. I’m here to remind you that you haven’t posted a fanfiction in three months,” she said.
“But… I thought you’d forgotten about this whole joke profile. It’s not that big of a deal that I just haven’t posted in a while,” Luffy responded.
“It is that big of a fucking deal, you hear me?!”
“No.”
“If you’ve ever heard about the story of Arachne from Greek mythology you’ll know to not mess with those in higher power, or face consequences.”
“You’re literally just some girl that broke into the ship, how are you of higher power?”
“You know what? fuck you; you’re going to the world of Adopt Me. Say goodbye to your silly adventures!” she said in a joyous tone.
Luffy suddenly fell through the floorboards of the ship and almost immediately landed into a tiny home with nothing but a bed and a few boxes in front of him. He’d only taken a tiny fall. A small bird from inside the house fluttered around him and said—with a very high-pitched voice—”Welcome to Adopt Me!”
“What the fuck?! The tutorial is supposed to be a fucking textbox, not a bird! The only fucking birds in Adopt Me are those dumb little idiots that ask to eat food sometimes and beg to go to school every, like, 20 days; that is if they even have bird pets in this dumb world.”
The bird angrily replied, “If you’re gonna be such a bitch to me then you might as well just play this game without any tutorial.”
“I’ve always wanted to skip this fucking thing, so thank you very much,” he responded.
Luffy turned around and opened his door, revealing the outside world. He walked the road to the tunnel nearby, basking in the bright houses around him, and went through to the other side.
“Woah, I’m going to act like this is the best thing I’ve ever seen to make this story more epic,” he said to himself. “I want to compliment these buildings to add more words to the story to make it look cooler, but these buildings are fucking stupid. Like, a teacup for a tea shop? A giant slice of pizza as a pizza place? You even got a fucking car on top of the dealership!”
He walked his way to the main plaza directly in front of him surrounding the nursery and was met by screams of people constantly saying phrases along the lines of, “ABC to trust trade dream pet!” Luffy sighed at the repetitive and frankly stupid nature of their speech. He walked over to one that wasn’t yelling and tried to spark a conversation, hoping that someone was able to speak normally.
“Hey, what’s your name?” Luffy asked.
The man responded, “Hi, my name is Jake / DP FR Golden Penguin / Trade unwanted pets / Nice guy / Trying to get neon FR golden unicorn / neon maker / pet is NFT until fully grown / trade for free–”
Luffy cut him off by walking away in an attempt to not go insane from these nonsensical words. He walked inside of the nursery and walked to the section labeled ‘pets’. He was greeted by a dog in fancy clothing and thought, damn, dressing up for the French revolution, huh?
“Greetings, what mayhap bring thou on this fine evening?” the dog asked.
“Egg,” he simply replied.
“Ah, so thine quest is to find a pet, mayhap I interest thou in a starter egg?”
“Yeah.”
“Make sure thy take good care of thine new pet, for it contains thine companion for life, until you abandon it for a new one.” The dog then handed Luffy a giant egg.
Luffy walked back and out the door to the nursery, weaved through the crowd of braindead merchants, through the tunnel, and back home.
He opened the door to his home and went to the room to the front-right: the kitchen. He activated the burner and cracked his massive egg onto the pan, where it immediately started smoking. The heat was way too high and there was no oil in the pan. Luffy started coughing as his whole house quickly filled up with smoke, the sound of his smoke alarm only adding further chaos to the situation. The egg was stuck to the pan and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
Zoro looked down into the hole Luffy had fallen throug—watching Luffy as some of the smoke escaped it—and said, “Gyatt damn, he can’t even fry an egg. Shit’s smoking like a black blunt. Dumbass bitch can’t even use a stove. Thought that gum-gum fruit only made him bad at swimming, not cooking. Hey, bitch, I think you forgot the salt. I’d love to start smoking you, but the egg is already doing that. My mom could cook better than that, and she’s dead! I don’t even care if that’s lore accurate, I just know that you being a dumbass is. I bet you tried to fry an egg with baby oil one time. I bet you think that baby oil came from babies. You can’t even operate a microwave without burning the food. When you try to boil pasta you light the water on fire. When you turn on an empty oven you burn the metal grates.”

♡☆~Friday~☆♡
{Rating: Smut & Fluff}
{Warnings: Swearing, Crying, Overstimulation, Use of Sex Toys, Degradation, Pet Names, Rough Sex, Unprotected Sex, Kissing, Gentle Aftercare}
{Pairing: Trent? x Fem!Reader}
《WC: around 900 maybe 1k+》
【Summary: Trent has the Friday before Collison and Revolution off, so he makes up for lost time with his girlfriend】
(Reader has a Fluffy white Maine coon cat named Snowflake, and a kitten she named Cobweb)
[Y/N's POV:]
Trent was supposed to be back home after Revolution, so living in Canada not so far from where Trent lives, I figured it'd be a long way here anyways.
"Snowflake! Cobweb! Dinner!" I called for my fuzzy little children known as cats
They came running as soon as they heard their dry food click against the glass bowls, I of course for my baby Cobweb, put milk in his bowl so he doesn't Choke on the dry food since he's only 3 months old, and Snowflake is a year old.
I fed my cats, then did the dishes. Cleaned everything up, and went upstairs to sleep.
It was almost 12:00am so I was tired and ready for bed.
I grabbed my phone charger and put my phone on it, then put it on the nightstand.
I heard a knock at my door and decided to answer it incase it was my new pet bed I'd ordered. I opened the door to see Trent-
"Oh hey Trent!" I hummed
"Get your pretty little ass up those fucking stairs and in your pretty bed of yours" He muttered against my neck before biting it
I headed upstairs, him following not too far behind.
"Gotta make up for lost time with my girl" He muttered fumbling with his belt as I slowly undressed in the corner
I sat down on my bed, as he struggled with his belt.
As soon as he got he belt undone, he started attacking my neck
I started to get a little impatient that he was being so gentle. So I said something I'd regret over the next 7 hours.
"Don't be shy honey. Be rough" I said
He asked if I was sure and I nodded, only for him to slam into me aggressively, making me moan/yelp.
He gave no reprieve, I guess that's what I get for saying give to me rough..
"Good little slut. Taking daddy's cock like this, God your such a good little slut" He praised me a bit.
Around 4 hours later, I was in tears while he mercilessly held a bullet vibrator to me, I was so overstimulated it wasn't funny.
He eventually noticed and decided to stop for the night, he started a bath and put me in it, then went downstairs and answered the door.
It was 5:00am, he'd ordered us breakfast, He fed Snowflake and Cobweb, he got me out of the bath and helped me get dressed and then we ate.
"Be ready for round 15 tonight" He joked
I slapped him playfully with a rose tint to my face.
My legs are still very sore, and it is now Sunday.. Cobweb is snuggling me while Trent is gone-

Day 7 Rumor / Discovery
( Had this really cute idea in my brain and I didn't want to go to sleep and lose it by the morning and it is the 24th where I am so it counts! Had so much fun doing the writer challenge, all of your compliments mean a lot to me and my husband and we're so happy you enjoy the stories of our characters <3 )

It was one of those days for U-Jinn. Some days were better than others, time had dulled his daughter's absence to a faint ache in his chest but it never truly got better, and like a chronic condition, it would flare to a sharp pang under the right circumstances. For as virtuous and honorable as the monks of the White Tiger Temple liked to claim themselves to be, gossip was poisonous nectar that tempted even the most stalwart of tongues, despite the words of warning of engaging in such activities that rolled off them later to the cubs. Rules for thee and not for me, U-Jinn supposed. He could hear them from where he worked, muttering to each other and shooting an occasional glance his way. "Has he really been here all night?" "Yes, he still doesn't like to go home." "Poor dear, I couldn't even imagine..." "It's been eight years since she's been gone, he can't hold on forever." "You're telling me they never found her, no trace?" "None, but I heard she left on an errand." "Do you think any of the outsiders had something to do with it? They've brought shifty types to our shores before." "Maybe, but /I/ heard that she was hiding something. Yoo-Mi said she was ill quite often and would often excuse herself...then, a week before she left she said she saw her go to the medic." "Oh, dear, you don't think...?" "Well, I don't know who could have done it. She kept to herself often." "Maybe a boy from the village?" "Mayb---" Slam. U-Jinn had unceremoniously slammed the crate of returned books and scrolls that still needed to be sorted upon his workspace, causing both of the Pandarens' heads to jerk up abruptly, ears swiveling. "So sorry." U-Jinn stared, his voice blank and eyes hard. With a nervous smile, the two exchanged an anxious look before bowing their heads and quickly hurrying out, leaving U-Jinn alone to stew in his thoughts. Inhaling sharply through his teeth, the old bear bit back the unkind words on his mind's tongue, pressing his own hard against the back of his fangs as he began to sort through the books and scrolls. Fist of the First Dawn: Rise of the Pandaren Revolution. He marked it down as returned and moved on to the next title. Encyclopedia of Pandaren Herbs U-Jinn's brow lofted, quite a read....next. The Moon Rabbit
U-Jinn paused, breath catching in his throat as his eyes beheld the faded gold lettering of the title. The title itself wasn't strange, had this been a public library. This book was a popular fable for cubs, and it was always a particular favorite of..... His heart leapt in his chest. There had been few articles missing from her room aside from a few clothes. The cover was a navy blue, darker splotches of stains and wear and tear dotting the surface around the indented silver filled figure of a rabbit gazing up at Azeroth's little moon. By the Celestials -- Sucking in a sharp breath, U-Jinn quickly blinked as he collected the book within his paws, undoing a cord of weathered leather that had been wrapped tautly around it to keep it shut. Upon cracking it open, the scent of old parchment filled his nostrils, and a small pile of thin and folded parchment laid inside. With shaking paws, he picked up the first piece of parchment that lay on top, the cleanest and potentially newest looking one...and he opened it. Dear, Baba. It took a lot of convincing, but I've finally managed to convince Yasashi to allow me to send you this. I hope you do not think ill of him for preventing me from doing so earlier, but he wanted to ensure we were secure and safe. In the end, I can tell he is still weary about me doing this, but he knows that my sudden absence in your life has haunted me since and I'm sorry, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. Above all though, I want you to know that I'm alive and am doing fine, the rest of the letters are ones I have written periodically throughout the last eight years, and I hope they're enough to fill you in on what has been going on thus far. Oh! As of yesterday, you've a second granddaughter. She was born 10 pounds, her name is Suzu, below I have secured a drawing of her. I attached an earlier one of your first granddaughter in one of the oldest letters but I'm afraid it is not as good as this one, but practice makes perfect, yes? I hope one day you will be able to meet them, I know you'd love them a lot. Always in your heart, Soo-ha

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts Pt. 15
The Royal Wing
Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts Masterpost First: Gaining an Invitation Previous: Reconvene with the Advisors
The PC enters the royal wing from the vestibule. Their party joins them.
Party comments:
Dorian: Sera, what are you wearing? Are you sure it’s dead Sera: What, is there something—oh, ha ha. Eat it.
Dorian: Blackwall. You look very… dignified. Blackwall: Thank you. Dorian: Consider a scarf next time, a bit of color. Blackwall: I shall leave the color to you.
Iron Bull: So… even Leliana thought this place was dangerous, and you wanted to just walk in here? This party is looking up.
Varric: We’re we going to sneak around to look through the empress’s unmentionables now? Just how drunk are you, boss?
Sera: Room after room, and for what? Ruffle storage? Real useful.
The party proceeds into the royal quarters.
Elf: (Screams.) Stay back!
The PC opens the door to find an elf being attacked by an assassin. They rush in an kick the harlequin out of the window (Sparta style!).
Elf: Thank you.
Dialogue options:
General: Are you hurt? [1]
General: Sorry to cut in. [2]
General: You’re safe. [3]
1 - General: Are you hurt? PC: Are you all right? Elf: I’m… I don’t think I’m hurt.
2 - General: Sorry to cut in. PC: I hope you’re not disappointed I stole your dance partner. Elf: (Laughs nervously.) No, not at all.
3 - General: You’re safe. PC: It’s all right now. You’re safe. Elf: Safe… I don’t know if I believe in “safe” anymore.
4 - Scene continues.
The elf stands.
Elf: No one’s supposed to be here… Briala said… I shouldn’t have trusted her.
5 - Dialogue options:
Investigate: Briala sent you here? [6]
Investigate: How did you get in? [7]
General: You were brave to come here. [8]
General: She was almost right. [9]
General: Tell me what you know. [10]
6 - Investigate: Briala sent you here? PC: Briala told you to come to this wing of the palace? Elf: Not personally. The “ambassador” can’t be seen talking to the servants. We get coded messages at certain locations. But the order came from her. She’s been watching the grand duke all night. No surprise she wanted someone to search his sister’s room.
11 - Dialogue options:
Investigate: Could anyone else send orders? [12]
Investigate: This is Florianne’s room? [13]
Investigate: What were you looking for? [14]
[Back to 5]
12 - Investigate: Could anyone else send orders? PC: Is there anyone else who knows the code and the drop location who could have written those orders? Elf: I… don’t know. Any of us could do it, but… no. No one else would send me here. It had to be Briala. [Back to 11] 13 - Investigate: This is Florianne’s room? PC: So this room belongs to Grand Duchess Florianne? Elf: It used to. This had been her private room in Halamshiral since she was a child. But this part of the palace was damaged, and the royal family moved to the guest wing. [Back to 11] 14 - Investigate: What were you looking for? PC: What were you trying to find in Florianne’s old room? Elf: The message didn’t say. I should have known it was a setup. [Back to 11]
7 - Investigate: How did you get in? PC: This wing is sealed. How did you get in here? Elf: Easy. The door was unlocked. One of the others probably handled it. [15]
8 - General: You were brave to come here. PC: It takes great courage to come to the royal wing unarmed. Elf: (Laughs.) It’s not “courage” to blindly follow Briala’s orders into a trap. [15]
9 - General: She was almost right. PC: All sorts of people tonight are taking advantage of this wing being closed. Elf: Briala probably knew it was dangerous and sent me anyway. One more embarrassing secret erased. [15]
10 - General: Tell me what you know. PC: If there’s a reason you distrust Briala, I want to hear it. [15]
15 - Scene continues.
Elf: I knew her. Before. When she was Celene’s pet. Now she wants to play revolution. But I remember. She was sleeping with the empress who purged our alienage.
Dialogue options:
General: Can you testify to that? [16]
General: The other elves don’t know? [17]
General: She wanted you dead, then. [18]
16 - General: Can you testify to that? PC: Would you be willing to testify to that, if I asked? Elf: Absolutely.
17 - General: The other elves don’t know? PC: Something like that could destroy Briala, if it were known. Elf: No. Some know she has… a history… with the empress. But they believe she was just a favored servant.
General: She wanted you dead, then. PC: She probably did send you to your death.
18 - Scene continues.
Elf: If… if the Inquisition will protect me, I’ll tell you everything I know about our “ambassador.”
Party comments:
Dorian: Most Orlesians would say that’s Celene’s scandal, not Briala’s.
Sera: Knew it. I did. And I bet the hate made it feel real good.
PC: Go to the ballroom. Find Commander Cullen. He’ll keep you safe.
Elf: Thank you. Maker protect you, Inquisitor.
Next: The Empress's Private Quarters

Shaping the World One Frame at a Time: My Evolution as Animator
(6 minutes reading)
By Sofi Ojeda
Animation is something I once believed was too difficult for me. I always loved artistic ways of expression as playing music, painting or sculpting but animation, it is something I leaned to love doing it through the years and though getting to know it more and more. Although animation is being one of the main treats that shaped myself, just a 25 year old girl, who moved from Ecuador to Vancouver. My first drawings were of the shows I watched as a child: SpongeBob and lots of anime. I even created a little space in my room, a sort of hideaway where I could turn on my lamp, and lose myself in drawing all day and night, when I needed to scape.
Tumblr media
I believe that aspiring animators like myself, did this because we found a safe place to be, plus the emotions that cartoons brought showing us wide worlds, making it impossible for us to look away. Ever since I fell in love with animation, I've watched small and large studios productions, independent, experimental, local, and international too. Choosing among them is a daunting task, but I've decided to focus on my top three mediums that have changed my life.
Dreamming: Avatar - The Last Airbender (2005) by  Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, Aaron Ehasz, John O'Bryan
Tumblr media
Let's begin with "Avatar: The Last Airbender". As a child who loved drawing and fantasy, I connected deeply with this animated series but not only beacuse of that. "Avatar" is probably one of the best-written script I've ever seen in an animated series. It tells the story of the rebirth of a spiritual being who seeks to bring peace to the world. The obstacles and friends he encounters along the way, along with their unique stories, make this journey unforgettable. In a world where the power of the elements - water, earth, fire, and air - exists, character development, dramatic arcs, and three-dimensionality are as precise as the fact that it explores topics such as war, peace, morality, and personal growth. I think this series grew up with its audience, making it appealing to both children and adults. And there was I, an ecuadorian little girl who needed to believe that peace could happen, but the world is more complex that that and it can be overcome.
2. Technique: Klaus (2019) by SPA Studios (Sergio Pablos Studios)
Tumblr media
Next, I'd like to discuss "Klaus" which was the first time I discovered the revolution in animation techniques. These productions such as Klaus, Arcane or Spiderverse blend 2D with 3D in ways that shook me to the core. Sergio Pablos pushed me into a state of curiosity and research on this subject and how to achieve similar results. These experiences led me to realize that animation knows no bounds in order to convey our messages more effectively. Technique is beautiful, such as lightning, texture and color keys, but it is not transcendent without a meaning or a clear message. "Klaus" serves as a masterpiece that demonstrates that even a "cliché" theme or something that works can truly work when revitalized and improved upon.
3. Purpose: "Onions" by Anna Scott
Tumblr media
Lastly, I need to include an indie, non-popular short film. It was a final project by Cal Arts graduate Anne Scott, so it's indie, I suppose. It seems it found me precisely when I needed it. I was on a challeging period of my life an also, the city I grew up in had a peculiar pattern of cloudy days all year. It often left me feeling uninterested in doing anything. And this piece happens on only cludy days.
This short film began to appeal to me because I saw a piece of hand-drawn animation that was exceptionally well-executed. I fell in love with it. "Onions" tells the story of flying creatures called onions, all identical, except for two who couldn't fly. This meant they had to journey through the forest to rejoin their herd for the annual migration. As the story unfolds, these two onions begin to feel different - they don't belong to their herd. But, they learn to enjoy the journey and embrace new things. Yes, it never became sunny, and yet, this short film made me want to cherish those gray days and savor them.
Conclution
Tumblr media
To wrap up, yes, I want to change people's lives and convey emotions. But, as I mentioned earlier, the illusion of being the savior of the world is unrealistic. For me, it's crucial to be aware of the privileges I have, and the ones I don't. And choose the causes I can champion by my own artistic means. The techniques are essential too but only tracendent with a good storytelling to convey messages.
As a Multimedia graduate I collaborated with three NGOs and a foundation. Also I developed video games in a woman led studio, focused on the ancestral cultures of the country where I was born: Ecuador, the cultures that surrounded me as I grew up, and those that are slowly fading away. So that is how I want to keep walking on this animation / visual journey, and keep learning and resetting my goals.

awwwww ty !!! <3 i do so so so enjoy writing if then else fr :)
ALSO ooooh a zits au?? new tangdubs aus?? my ears are OPEN... :O
That' shows!! You're doing great<3
Up! Nothing too interesting, so don't get excited. For now i can share only a rough explanation of the zits au, but if you ask about the others in a few weeks, I'll(hopefully) show a lil explanation like that one ^^
Long text warning below!!
Imagine a government science organisation. It has a few different departments:
Science itself
Engineering
Biology + geology etc (just nature exploring idk)
And experimenting
There are no secrets in the organisation. It always has eyes and ears on it's workers, which makes it the most successful science organisation in the country. All for the best. As you may expect, the workers are here also matching high standards.
Impulse is one of the most successful engineers. He's fine. He is the one who supplies nature department with necessary equipment.
Skizz is not in any of these in particular, but he's kinda like a manager? Idk. He's there and he does social jobs. Yknow, important guy in lead. Like he always is.
Zed is... A lot more interesting. He used to be one of the first workers of science department. But at the same time, he was the head of the experiment department.
Tango was Impulse's partner in many projects in engineering department, but at the same time he was counted as one of the most active experiment department workers.
Now, what exactly is the experiment department? This one is pretty close with science and biology departments. And yes, this is what you think it is. Science guys test something on other people from this department. But don't think it's something immortal! Of course first they make sure whatever they are testing is actually good for people. It's a government organisation, of course they wouldn't test something that could kill a person, or harm them in any way! Let's take Zed for example. He's been working on the cloning technology in the science department. Before testing it on anyone else, he tested it on other subjects: rats, bananas, monkeys and other stuff. But in this case, since it was his first experiment, he had enough guts to test it himself. And so he did. It was a surprisingly successful experiment, a revolution at this point. With that, experiment department was seen as something that the organisation actually needs. They weren't testing on random people, but on actual organisation workers. They all knew what they signed up for, so it was kinda volunteeraly, plus they could sign out any time they want. But even still, it was a very questionable thing.
Tango agreed to be a test subject for one of Zed's experiments. Something silly, just a little experiment to improve person's night vision and endurance. All the previous tests showed positive results, the tests subjects analysis were normal. But when it all came to testing on real people... It was the first failed experiment. Nothing bad happened, no- well, not much. Tango was alive! The test was successful, Tango got everything he was supposed to! He was just... In agony. That's it.
It was a failure. Zedaph's experiment got out of hand, and now one of his best friends is suffering. The worst thing is, Tango is kept away. Zed knows it's a bad thing if even he, as the head of the department, doesn't have access to his own experiment AND best friend. But there is someone who has access to pretty much everything. That's why Zed can't say a word when Skizz rushes in just to explain that the government wants to put down Tango and close the experiment department. It was understandable. In the end of the day, using people as test subject was wrong. But killing Tango doesn't make any sense! With that, Zed, Skizz abd Impulse make a plan for helping Tango escape.
The plan goes smoothly. Tango is doing much better than the last time Zed saw him, there were just a few things off: glowing red bloody eyes and some inhuman traits like strong hands with claws and big sharp ears. Zed quickly figures that it's all just the result of his previous experiments and can in theory be fixed if he gets more financial support from the organisation!!! Too bad it's late to think about it. They already broke Tango out and need to act quick. But what do they do now? They all agree that Tango just stays somewhere outside of the organisation area and hide while they think about safe place for him to live in. But things went down quickly when the other workers found out about Tango's disappearance and started a literal hunt on him. It was the last time anyone has seen Tango. The organisation just swept it under the rug by closing up the experiment department and sending Tango's portfolio to archives, setting his status to dead.
A few years later, on the whole place which was given for experiments department, the organisation opened a new department: mainly nature exploration activities. Lots of new people, new projects everyone focuses on, the organisation is at it's peak. Bdubs, as one of the new workers in this department, id happy to have such a high payed job in a trustworthy compound with absolutely no dark past. He's usually just observing trees and stuff, but sometimes he get more serious tasks, like solo expeditions in caves. Of course, having a whole engineering department, noone would let Bdubs go there by himself– he doesn't have a professional speleologist education. With that, he often gets help from engineering department– Impulse's robots, which can crowl in tiny places and pass difficult obstacles. Bdubs just sends the robot and makes sure it gets back. Easy job. But one time, his robot doesn't come back. Afraid of failing the expedition, he asks Impulse for another robot, but this one doesn't return too. Before sending a report, Bdubs talks to Impulse about it. Impulse agrees to help, after all, it's in his interests to figure out what's wrong to improve his robots. So he gives Bdubs a robot, who doesn't just film, but streams what it sees in the cave. Bdubs sends the robot and Impulse watches.
The next day, Bdubs gets the paper saying that his expedition is closed and he'll be getting a new one soon, without any explanation. He reaches out to Impulse and tries to get some information about what he saw in the cave that made him immediately sent a request to stop Bdubs from exploring any further. Impulse says he doesn't know much and that Bdubs needs to trust him and get his mind off of it. But he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong– Impulse is very bad at lying. But Bdubs' curiosity is much bigger than his patience. And so, grabbing all his equipment, he wents on the expedition by himself. He plans every possible outcome, preparing to get through anything that destroyed the robots.
Turns out he wasn't prepared for everything. Bdubs had rope to not get him lost, but when he explored quite a big part of the cave and didn't find anything interesting, on his was way back the rope was not leading him the right way. Bdubs was sure of it. He walks for a few hours straight, but doesn't see anything suspicious. He even finds the traces of the first robot, but it looked like the robot just disappeared. After a while, Bdubs hears some weird noises. And that's when he finally feels himself being watched. He looks back and holds his breath as he sees two glowing red eyes in the dark. Of course he intuitively points his flashlight in this direction, but whatever it was, it disappeared around the corner with hissing. Bdubs realised the reason why the expedition got closed. But why didn't Impulse just tell him that? Now Bdubs is screwed. He starts panicking and doesn't even rely in the rope anymore, as if it was leading him different ways every noe and then. He's passed 24 hours mark. Trapped in a cave with so little supplies, panic, regrets, and a creepy (probably dangerous) creature. Of course he gets tired. After some time, Bdubs gives up. He finds a decently safe space and makes his little camp here, setting a sleeping bag. Surprisingly, he falls asleep easily.
Bdubs wakes up from that weird feeling again. He snaps his eyes open and sees red eyes right on the opposite, just staring at him. Bdubs screams in terror and starts trying to get back, but to his surprise, the creature also cries and flees away. It takes Bdubs a few seconds to generate a first thought in his still eepy brain: run and catch this creature. So, Bdubs chases after him and figures that it was a bad idea just a little bit too late, after he stumbles and falls down into a hole. It's all stone, of course it hurts! But soon enough Bdubs realises that his leg hurts much more than it should. It's not broken, no, just wounded.
Things keep getting worse and worse for Bdubs. He can't walk, he's stuck in a hole in a cave far away with no communication, trapped with a literal non-human nearby. Speaking of the devil, a few minutes later Bdubs noticed these red eyes staring at him from top. Bdubs cries, throws everything he has at the monster, trying to scare it off. But it doesn't go away, only gets closer. When the creature is so close, Bdubs can finally see that it has some human traits to it. But he doesn't get to think about it much, before he hears a husky voice.
"Is this all you got?"
Bdubs was so shocked that he let the stranger help him. He asks Bdubs some questions, but Bdubs doesn't listen to him. Everything is too much, he was already prepared to pass away, and now someone who was supposed to kill him is helping him? Bdubs asks what happened to all his robots, but he doesn't answer any of Bdubs' questions. They walk in silence, the tension was almost visible every through the dark. With the help, Bdubs manages to get out of the cave and catch a signal. When he turns around to thank the creature for help, it's gone. Bdubs gets help from the organisation, saying just got lost in this cave while doing his other task. He doesn't say a word about the new encounter, at least not yet.
A few weeks later, when Bdubs gets all the medical treatment he needed and is ready to get back to work, he pays a visit to Impulse and asks him about why did his previous expedition got closed. Impulse just says that at this point Bdubs knows much more than he does and he was just worried. But this doesn't sound like true. Any normal person would leave it as it is if they found a creature in a cave, but Bdubs? His curiosity was much more than that. With that, he sends a suggestion of a new operation in the nearby are, nothing mentioning the cave. Once it got approved, Bdubs buys a new journal and packs his things for a completely new expedition, setting up a new goal: to learn more about an intelligent being deep down in the caves.
To his surprise, this time he finds the stranger much easier. Or, he finds Bdubs and immediately starts asking gim the same questions he asked before, cornering Bdubs. He didn't understand much, except that the person was accusing him of something bad. Bdubs is confused, he has no idea what he's talking about, so he just starts talking over the other. They both stop talking when Bdubs asks his name. Hesitant and still suspicious, the hermit introduces himself. Bdubs doesn't recognise that name and is even more confused about why is Tango so happy to be unknown to him.
Once they settle that Bdubs is here from the nature department of that one government organisation and he came here for the first time not for Tango but for the cave, they managed to have a proper conversation. Tango talks some questions about the federation, Bdubs figures that it's just out of curiosity. But something flicked in his mind when he saw how happy Tango looked once he mentioned that Impulse is supplying most of his expeditions.
For the next few weeks, that's all Bdubs' been doing. Getting some info for his official expedition and then going down into a cave to learn more about his new friend. Surprisingly, he lives better than Bdubs does! Turns out Tango goes out of caves at nights, which works perfectly for Bdubs, who prefers to sleep in his camp outside. Yet still,this whole time Bdubs was waking up before dawn so both of them could work on Bdubs' official mission anf then Tango would tour him the cave, once the sun started getting up. The further they go into a cave, the more secrets Tango opens. Turn out he's hella good at engineering: some parts of the cave were full of movements, reminding how ancient people were getting electricity with natural sources. In parts of the cave, where it had a unique air circulation, these were handmade windmills. Some corridors were poorly painted with a glowing paint, made with mushrooms from the same cave. In one of these corridors, a painting with fours people caught Bdubs' attention. It was so poorly drawn and looked aged, almost like it was the first thing drawn here, that even if he wanted to, Bdubs couldn't recognise these people. On some of the stone walls there were huge maps of the whole cave system. And all of that with so little light. There were two things Bdubs knew for sure: 1. Tango has lived bete for many years, and 2. There is definitely someone who helps him. No way Tango could find all these materials un the cave, plus the closest civilization is far from here. Especially confused Bdubs got when he saw some wires and actual electric mechanisms. There were leading to one little screen with many things powering him. In this technical mess Bdubs notices parts of the robots he sent earlier, and it all started making sense. Tango introduces Bdubs to one of the things that has been keeping him sane for all this time: Holston. At first Bdubs was sure Tango is completely insane, but when it turned out to be a real thing, he was out of words. There was just one question on his mind this whole time: why would such a smart talented guy hide in the cave? Is it just because of the fact that he is too sensitive to any light abd has some unhuman traits? Or is there something more?
One day Tango warned that there might be a guest soon. The one who brings him new stuff to keep him entertained. Bdubs was excited to meet not only Tango's friend, but probably the only person who knows about Tango's location besides him. At first he heard the voice. Wery familiar, but he couldn't quite recognise it. Then he saw a pink suit, blond hair and happy face in a very dim light from a lamp that the person was holding. Bdubs has seen Zedaph just a few times: science and nature departments rarely cross, but he's seen him a few times when he was hanging out with Impulse or Skizz during lunch breaks. Even with everything he knows about Zed, it's easy to say that this person just looks exactly like him, just... Much much younger. He introduced himself as Wormman, claiming that he's never seen Bdubs before. And that's where Bdubs completely lost sense of what was going on. He knew he had to learn more. With that, he took one day off his expedition and drove back to the organisation centre to have a talk with both Impulse and Zedaph. To find where they both are, he had to talk to Skizz, and he never leaves anyone without a small talk to brighten their mood. And now, seeing how stressful his colleague looked, Skizz asked what's wrong how's his expedition going. Bdubs knew Skizz is trustworthy AND his friend, so he did mention that he went a little off-road and now needs to talk to Impulse and Zed about a person, named Tango.
Bdubs has never seen Skizz so shocked and vulnerable. After a minute or two, he asks where did Bdubs find the documents of that case. Confused, Bdubs corrects Skizz saying that he hasn't seen any documents, but gets cut off. Skizz glances at the camera above them, and that's when Bdubs remember that nothing in the organisation buildings is a secret: there are cameras, recording both video and audio everywhere. Slowly but surely, Bdubs connects two dots. Whatever happened to Tango is a forbidden topic, he's probably on the run, and during their first meeting Tango thought he's there from the organisation to bring him back. At least that's what Bdubs figured out. Skizz passes him a note with place and time, and Bdubs leaves.
Meeting up with his colleagues in a non official setting felt weird. Without much waiting, he explains everything in details. And just now, standing in front of three of them, their wide of disbelief eyes on them, Bdubs can finally recognise then in these poor drawings in the cave. When he finishes his explaination, he get all the info that's been hidden away from him for so long. They tell him about the whole experiment department and how there are some forbidden cases which are still open, like Tango's one, or the one with Zedaph's clone.
Bdubs returns to his expedition late at night. He walks down into the cave and meets Tango, arguing with Holston over some stupid thing, like he always does. Bdubs says that there is a little surprise waiting for Tango outside. With some suspicion, he agrees to walk out, mumbling that is Bdubs actually sent someone after him, it's fully on his conscience. And suddenly, Bdubs feels so special after realising that even knowing that Bdubs just came back from the organisation, Tango trusts him with everything he has.
Skizz was the first one to run into Tango and hug him as tighs as he can. Zed was the first one to start crying of happiness and all the guilt on his shoulder, that was following him all these years thinking Tango was dead. And Impulse was the first one to thank Bdubs for helping them finally meet each other.
That sounds like a perfect ending for a story, doesn't it? Old friends reunite, knowing Tango is safe. They visit him regularly. Bdubs, after finishing his expedition, sees Tango much more rarely, but he's looking forward to it ecery time. They offer Tango different places to live, but all of them were so impressed by how well Tango settled in the cave, that noone got surprised when he refused to leave. They all are happy and safe. Just ZITS and Bdubs, having their own little secret. What a good ending.
But let's not forget one thing:
There are no secrets in the organisation.

we need to talk about night elves in warcraft.
(disclamier: i take every lore retcon after warcraft 3 with a lot of grains of salt, and my reasonably canon timeline stops roughly when wod ends. i have reasons for this)
most societies in real life are patriarchal. historians and archaeologists speculate why that is, but nobody knows for certain. some societies are matriarchal, but they are far and in between.
in worldbuilding, i once read something that struck me as very true: if you want to build a world where a matriarchal society exists, there needs to be a reason why women would dominate over men. while matriarchal societies exist in the real world, patriarchal societies are something like 90% of them, so if you're to make use of an exception, you need to explain it. patriarchy is seen as the natural state of things, the status quo, especially in the west, so matriarchy needs to make sense (since in worldbuilding everything that is not like earth needs to be built from scratch. that's what it is). while it's maybe not right that "men are stronger, hence they dominate", it's the idea people in the west have about patriarchy, that while it may not be right, men have ruled women so far in history because they were physically stronger.
so, following that line, if men and women exist in a fictional universe such as they are in our world, but women dominate, the question then becomes: what exists in that world that offsets the physical advantage men have over women?
kaldorei society is a matriarchal one. women rule and men are expected to take on the role of scholars. there isn't such a society in real life, as far as i know (where only women or the dominated sex are scholars, and most importantly, where scholars were separate from priests pre industrial revolution). but it makes sense in fiction. arms and religion in pre-industrial societies were the pillars of power. the fact that only women in kaldorei society are permitted to become priestesses and be sentinels or rangers tells us that, in their society, women are in charge of government, entirely. they're both bureaucrats (priestesses) AND soldiers (sentinels and rangers).
but why does that happen? why is kaldorei society a matriarchal one? because night elves have a very deep connection to the emerald dream. their scholars have to devote quite literally their entire lives to the pursuit of knowledge. and if men are supposed to be the scholars in kaldorei society, then that takes up all of their energy, and the ruling is left to women. i found it surprising, thinking about it, that this is so logical and makes so much sense when they came up with it in the freaking 90s, pre third wave of feminism. and freaking blizzard too, and we know how "egalitarian" their office culture was at the time (bill cosby room etc). they came up with the idea of a society ruled by women that makes sense, that would make sense if it existed in real life (if magic were real too).
since there was no other society in warcraft that practised druidism (taurens only joined/were invited later, and trolls and worgens much later), there wasn't enough time for such changes to take place in their respective societies, or not all male taurens became druids, unlike with the night elves.
it's even up to debate that whether women ruling kaldorei society is a higher role than being a druid. it may be that ruling was left to women because the dream was seen as a much more noble goal. similarly to how politicians aren't the most important pieces in government today, but high ranking businessmen such as ceos. politicians are in charge of government, but they're not the most powerful people. it could be that druids are more powerful than priestesses and sentinels, even though they're not in government. so kaldorei women wield significantly more power than real world women pre 21st century, but still not as much power as real world men did pre 21st century.
see. i find it all so smart. kaldorei society seems so perfectly explainable for a society so different from ours. i know it was always the intention that they seemed very different and mysterious to humans, back in warcraft 3 times. and blizzard did it very well, i think.

The Desire eduardo & paulo 9D
When Animal Farm came to the darkest and unproductive phase, the animals had no more strength to work and faith in Napoleon's power. The corn fields were empty, the windmill unused, and all the trades between the other farmers were over. Boxer is no longer remembered, animals suffer from hunger, tiredness, disease. Napoleon is old with his last days alive, the ceremonies were closed a long time ago. The sheeps lost their voices, the pigs no longer led the animals. The depression and darkness devastate the farm, but their only path is to believe in their promised future: Sugar Candy Mountain. This divine place became everyone's dream, a place with prosperity, peace, where all wishes come true. Even Napoleon, who used not to believe in that, now only imagines his supposed brilliant end there.
A month has passed, and now the cold has arrived to disturb anyone's sleep. Napoleon is dead, but the animals didn't even know, since Squealer doesn't make any speeches anymore. The little food and water present must be needed for at least 3 months, otherwise the future would be close. When night came, a heavenly glow illuminated the farm, angelic voices echoed through the vineyards of the house. A softness invaded the bodies of the animals in the barn. When they left, they found sugar falling from the sky, and a light coming out of the house in which the pigs were. The light remained for 30 seconds, until it suddenly went out, the sugar stopped falling, and silence and darkness flooded the land again. All the animals began to hypothesize what had happened, but none came to a conclusion. Until Moses arrived, with his hoarse voice, and with few words spoke "He will now rest, and his wishes will come true". The animals quickly understood what had happened, and were anxious about what was to come. 
The boar finally came to the long-awaited end. The place is crystal clear and lit, golden clouds and food in abundance. Napoleon was in disbelief and amazed. A figure was approaching in his direction, and he could only wait to hear the words "welcome." He couldn't make out what or who it was, but as he approached, all the brightness and magic of the place disappeared, and he returned to a piece of land. Desperate he started to grunt and scream for help, thinking he had reached hell. But again the angelic voices appeared saying "To reach your treasure, you have to show that you are worthy. You will need to prove your dignity as a worker".
It was given no more instructions. Now it rests just Napoleon, the piece of land and his own acknowledgement. The journey now has begun. The first days were based on Napoleon's attempt to plant and build a small barn. He packed some straw and a bunch of wheat. With those resources he could be able to start his ideas, but then he realizes that all this work used to be done by the other animals. He started to panic and his mind turned into a thunderstorm. His mind was lost, since he didn't know the next steps. Where was Boxer right now to carry all that stuff? What was Squealer doing instead of passing the orders for the animals? What about Clover? But he thought he was right and decided to work in his own way. On the later night, however, the weak and badly done work was destroyed after the first strong wind that hit the structures.  Furious, Napoleon began to scream, blaming the beings of Sugar Candy Mountain saying that this was cheating and that he didn't deserve it since he is a superior animal compared to others. Outraged by his lack of strength and persistence, Napoleon falls to the ground and a movie from his past plays in his head. The revolutions, the moments of glory, the happiness of animals and the feeling of being the hero that he had. None of that was present in his body anymore. But never once did he think in any way how he would have done evil, just to benefit himself. He hasn't changed his mind yet. Squealer's voice tormented his head: "All animals are equal, All animals are equal"... Boxer's phrase still gave him hope, until he really remembered what he had done to the animal. But these memories did not affect him.
Day after day, failure after failure, the pig began to tire. Shivering with hunger, cold and weariness, he continued to fight any thoughts that he had done something wrong in his past. The same angelic voice echoed across the land every night, but he always thought there was only one answer: “I am worthy! I'm stronger, smarter, more equal than anyone! My destiny has to be the best possible!”. 
His destination had finally arrived. A van with incomprehensible handwriting pulled up in front of the lot. A feeling that he'd already lived through this flashed through his thoughts, but curiosity overrode it. The same figure got out of the car, approached the animal and said: "The time has come to face your destiny". Thinking that he had won, he soon jumped into the car with happiness overflowing his body. When it started, the cries of familiar horses began to play. The sadness present in all hatred swallowed Napoleon. "Long live Comrade Napoleon" rang in his ears. After that Mose's voice appeared saying: “ Long lived Napoleon ''.

Incorrect Eternals quotes part 3
Ikaris gets d e s t r o y e d in this because it’s funny
Thena, while entering a store: Why do they have door sensors outside of the exit door if you’re not even supposed to enter through there?

Makkari: No thanks.
Makkari: I'm god.
Sersi, tearing up nearly every room in the Domo: WHERE ARE THEY???
Sersi, opening every cupboard after interrogating Druig: WHO MOVED THEM? WHO MOVED MY CHILDREN???
Sersi: SOMEONE MOVED MY M&Ms AND NOW I’M GOING TO START KILLING.

Makkari: Good luck returning me without the receipt.

Thena: Well not if you’re expecting it.
Ajak, about to jump over a canyon with the others in the back: Total lack of drivers training DON’T FAIL ME NOW!
Gilgamesh: I love you.
Thena: I love you too. I've waited so long to hear you say that.
*Gilgamesh and Thena kiss passionately*
Phastos, to Kingo: You owe me 20 dollars.
Ajak: What? I'm not aggressive!
Druig: Last Tuesday, you wacked me with a pair of sandals and stole my chocolate chips?
Ajak: Survival of the fittest, bitch!
Gilgamesh: Wow, Thena, you want to hold my hand before marriage? How awfully lewd of you.
Thena: We literally slept together yesterday and we’ve managed to convince everyone else that we’ve been married for the past few thousand years.
Gilgamesh: That's NOTHING compared to the lewdness of holding hands.
Kingo, after being buried in sand: I am the sand guardian, Guardian of the Sand.
Sprite, who is the one who buried him: POSEIDON QUIVERS BEFORE HIM!
Kingo, a few minutes later, screaming at a wave: FUCK OFF!
