WIP Bionic Battle Granny leather work

This was a first for me. I tried for leather inlays/leather mosaic. The goal is to have no visible transition between the leathers except for the colours. As you can see that did not work out, but I learned a lot on both cases.

This is how I got the design from paper to leather.

I picked a picture from the show that felt iconic and recognisable to me.

Then I outlined the shapes I wanted to use and widened the design with another picture that fit the vibe

I traced the shape to a transparent paper and taped it in place over the leather

and used some transfer paper to get the design on the leather backside (I even thought of flipping my transparent paper so the final design would be the right side.

Then it was only repeat and repeat for all the other colours needed.

Finally after cutting the designs and smoothing the edges I got to paste everything to the case.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUPP!!!

FOR ONCE STOP MAKING TASHI THE VILLAIN! Stop making Tashi look like the bad guy because you didn't get your gay ending! Stop making Tashi look like the bad guy because Art is depressed! Stop making Tashi look like the bad guy because Patrick is horny!

Instead of hating on her, I'm begging you, watch the movie again and try to pay attention to her character. I'm not saying she is a flawless angel - no - she has done many questionable and not always approved things, but so have Art and Patrick!

It's important to understand Tashi's full story and the actions which shaped her into the person she is. Some of you people seem to forget that she lost her biggest passion, that something that she loved deeply was taken away from her. Within a single moment, Tashi lost her career, lost her strength and all her desires. She became no one to herself, a failure and a completely miserable person.

Her behaviour is natural, and it's determined by everything she has gone through. It's very obvious she went through a rough time of depression and had to cope wirh the loss somehow. She's also just a human, and humans make mistakes.

Tashi loved both Art AND Patrick - and we can notice that very clearly in multiple scenes and if we think about it really deeply, and when she has married one, she couldn't just forget about the other. It's natural that she jumped towards the opportunity of spending some time with Patrick, even just one night (in 2011). Later on, she sleeps with Patrick again because she still loves him, but that doesn't deny that she loved Art and Lily too.

She's spent 8 years married to Art, every day of those eight years and I doubt she would have cheated on him with anyone else than Patrick. Let's not forget that Art is a flawed human too. He earned by Tashi as a result of his obsession and manipulation, which is a long way from love that they eventually found.

If Tashi didn't love Art, she would have abandoned him the moment she started seeing him on top of his career, because he had something she could never have again - tennis. But Tashi never left. She stayed and supported Art throughout the whole process, in her own way.

Stop praising Art for having a fat ass and looking up at his wife. He chose the life he's living, he chose to marry Tashi, have a family with her and pursue his tennis career with all the consequences. Yes, Art is depressed and miserable and he's probably not too happy with his life, but he's also an adult fully capable of making decisions. Just because he's submissive, loyal and dedicated, doesn't mean he deserves to be babied and told that he's too good for Tashi.

I don't always like to bring this topic into the discussion, but it's clear that some of you are pure misogynists, hating on the female protagonist because she got to fuck your favs and because she has a life. Tashi Duncan is somebody, she is a strong female lead with even stronger emotions, and if you really wanna understand her, you can't just watch - you need to think as well.

want to hear your thoughts on jimmy and joel. all your thoughts. all of them. across universes.

You ask you shall receive. I love them a lot

I can see them as a ship (and no Joel white knight can come at me when those two frequently engage in questionable exchanges) but mostly I see them as best friends with a brotherly bond. Joel is kinda similar to Martyn to me when thinking of Jimmy, where he's always been there and taken him for who he is and just fucked around, carefree. He's a mean bean but his banter doesn't give off maliciousness, to me he hasn't ever seemed as overstepping and making Jimmy genuinely upset

Unfortunately ESMP2 happened and it really pains me how much Joel drove the "toy Jimmy" bit into the ground, resulting in all the seriousness that Jimmy wasn't ever offered. Maybe Jimmy wouldn't have become as much of a joke as he was were it not for Joel. Maybe it would have all hurt a bit less if Joel hadn't built massive walls around Tumble Town. This does pain me always, but you know what, at least "bullying Jimmy" is not his shtick that he needs to rely on throughout various SMPs as much as it feels like certain other people do. He decided to lean into it this once wirh some thought that wasn't just "haha Jimmy sux!!" but unfortunately it devolved and absolutely everyone went along with his bit. But as far as Joel goes, from a brotherly sort of friendship perspective especially, this kind of teasing and banter is more excusable than it would be within a romantic ship etc, but regardless it still pains me lol

Aside from that though, they're buds... Joel I don't think could ever comfort Jimmy in any decent way just because of being the rabid creature that he is, even if he were to know of and understand Jimmy's horrors (to the best of his ability). But what matters is that he cares... He doesn't ever express this outwardly but he cares and that makes me happy and enjoy them as a duo. Things like how in Limited Life he really wanted to help Jimmy get some time to stay in the game longer and his downward red life spiral pretty much beginning with Jimmy's death. How in Secret Life he expresses confidence in Jimmy having his back, and how in spite of his anguish after Lizzie's death, he doesn't say anything to ruin Jimmy's fun upon him not being the first one out. Even when Jimmy's not there, all he says is "Jimmy's gloating about it, which is a weird thing to gloat about? But we have to give him every little win, don't we"

Also in 3rd Life, Jimmy kind of jokingly (I guess??) left a sign on Joel's property that just said "I miss you - Love from Solidarity" and I never stop thinking about it. It pains me a lot, especially when that came before the FH ordeal kicked into proper gear. It honestly reads like one last effort to get away from something awful that he's anticipating, for someone to help? Something something canary, he's sensing the danger. But Joel is stupid lol and I can't blame him for not paying that sign any mind. Anyway this is a stretch I just. I never stop thinking about it.........this reads like a cry for help..........

It genuinely surprises me when I think back to the traffic series' and realize how little Joel has made fun of Jimmy. Sure he laughs, with him it's more excusable because of their friendship, and yet somehow he doesn't make a fool of or comment on Jimmy's reputation as much as some others do. He doesn't seem to think Jimmy to be notably incompetent like some of the others do. Can't say too much on other SMPs because I've seen very little of them but the vibes seem to be more or less same. I love them a lot anon, I love them a lot... Joel, for a change, is someone Jimmy deserves (because he deserves someone who cares) and is fortunate to have, if only it weren't for all the unrelenting horrors that Joel can't really help with in any case. Pensive

It's super cool to watch your artwork/art style subtly change over time. Like your art started off really great with a distinct style and it's only gotten moreso. With all the comics you've been drawing It's great you're getting so much practice wirh drawing something you love! And sharing it with us! I love reading through your comics on bad days because you really capture the complex nature of especially astarions trauma. I can't wait to see how you improve in the future!

Oh, thank you so much for the lovely message, it warms my heart that you enjoy my artwork so much! I know bad days all too well, so the thought that I was able to cheer someone up just a little bit makes me really happy!

And yes, you're absolutely right; I'm always looking for a suitable style for the things I want to draw. I'm still not completely satisfied with my results but that's probably impossible haha, but suppose trying things out is what makes it so fun.

Again, thank you very much, I'm very grateful for your support and I hope you will like my future work!

STARTING justice in the dark!

1. OK so while realistically I hope it does not use this sci fi premise at All, since I adore the original story and also the inherent capacity for cruelty or kindness being something fei du contemplates could Easily be handled in a useless choice-destroyed way in this sci fi premise... I am also really happy to see more sci fi leaning cdramas? I loved Humans adaptation with ma tianyu, I loved Bureau of Transformer (and how intense the messages it had were! Like a modern day progressive star trek), I am loving Three Bodys adaptation, and seeing such a sci fi opening makes me hopeful we may get to keep seeing more... especially because this drama and Three Body are the first time I think I ever saw a sci fi drama trend on weibo or overseas.

2. I do think... IF and that's a big if... the sci fi element is handled well? This could be a Guardian cdrama situation where I actually really enjoy the sci fi Alternate Universe plot of the cdrama version. I know people are Mixed on Guardians sci fi "mutants" premise, but as an xmen fan I loved it. It's not rhe same as the book because of it, the mutant angle causes the show to take a divergent new story route with its own sometimes very different themes than the book. I personally liked how in the book shen wei is not human, ghosts are different. And in contrast how in the show shen wei the Mutant is functionally just another human being wirh powers, as are all dixingren, all can live in Haixing and blend in if they want, they face discrimination, the Haixing government is afraid of them to the point of trying to make weapons like them (like Sentinel and William strikers experiments in xmen). The people with powers are inherently regular people just like the people without powers, and so a lot of sci fi style social commentary can be told in the cdrama version. I liked this difference and I really liked the story that resulted. If Justice in the Dark, by some miracle, uses its sci fi not just to avoid censorship (Guardian surely on one level changed ghosts to mutants to be able to even tell a story - but Guardian also did something Useful in the story with the change to mutants instead of simply leaving it at that), but also to add something thoughtful and meaningful to the story then I'll be really excited I think. On a normal level I hope the sci fi changes were just to pass censors and it will not be utilized in a negative sucky writing way (to handwave away all criminals as "born evil" and therefore "simply evil and need to be locked up" which is such a simple meaningless cheap way to tell a story. I hope at neutral the characters themselves will think all humans inherently could choose good or bad actions, regardless of genetics, and so the book approach remains. At best? I'd love an examination of biases of the government using excuses of eugenics to call some ppl worse than others or better, how it's a means of manipulation and control and harm, how peoples actions can't be predicted based on assumptions, how all humans inherently have huge range, how a lack of empathy does not determine what a person does and a person without empathy can still want to help others (which fei du would be a great character to use to tell that story). Now that's a best case scenario so I doubt we'll get it, but cool if we do.

Itachi laid peacefully on his couch. One arm resting behind his head tangled in the dark long locks. Outside you could here the heavy rain beating down on the solid glass. Its been like this for a couple hours now and was also the result of him falling asleep. The storm brewed and his slowly found himself waking up.

First he moved his other hand that had been resting on his hard strong upper body. His long fingers twitched against the fabric of his fishnet shirt. Next he turned his head to the side finally taking in the sound of the tv and the rain. He twitched before opening his dark mysterious eyes. For a second he felt as though he was still sleep and he rolled over falling straight off the fluffy surface to the hard ground hitting his chin on the floor first and groaning loudly.

He grumbled reaching his painted black fingernails up to his chin and rubbing the now stinging skin. Slowly he sat up and looked around. The floor was dirty thanks to the many bottles of alcohol and soda. He even had bowls of ramen sitting on the floor. With squinted eyes and a slight o shape as a mouth he tried to think of what happened before he was sleep. He stood up and looked out the window suddenly with a clear face, he could see it now.

He was lonely.

That's why the house ended up like the way it did. He had no one to joke with or tease considering Sasuke had decided to go to college recently. Sure Itachi was happy for his baby brother, who wouldn't be. He just didnt like to be alone. With a sigh the man walked down the large hallway to the marble bathroom. He stopped when he noticed it was a mess in there also. Clothes were scattered all over the floor accompanied by white crumbled up napkins.

He shivered at his own disgusting habits. However he was only a man. He groaned and yanked off his shirt tossing it in the sink for the time being as he pulled down his pants and boxers letting his body breathe the air. He didn't notice how bad it smelled. It had been like that for a while now so he didn't notice it anymore.

He walked to the shower and turned it on before stepping in ignoring how his cock and balls slapped against his skin. He yawned trying to wake himself up as he stepped in under the warm water. Washing his body he woke up more opening his eyes a bit wider. About an hour later he got out.

He glanced at the mirror seeing how foggy it was and how the napkins seemed more 'damp'. He ignored it for the time being as he exited the bathroom and trailed down the bottle coated hall to his room. As he grabbed the doorknob he felt a bit eery of himself. Either way, he still proceed making him freeze in the doorway seeing the mess. His bed was on its side creating a large dent in the wall as though it had been flipped roughly in a fit of pure rage. The tv was laying on the floor broken with different abstract collors in it and making a slight screeching noise that obviously told him that it was broken.

He noticed more nakpins and that the sheets were balled up and for a sexond he question himself on how horny a straight and lonely human man could be. His clothes were skattered all over the floor in small hills and honestly he was scared to pick them up, scared tgat any creature could pop out at him and send him into cardiac arrest. The window for whatever reason was open letting in the hard rain and cold air and he quickly ran over and slammed it shut with a soft irked smile.

"Damn it Itachi.. Congratulations on being the grosses person ever."

He sighed as he ran his hands through his long inky black hair. He decided that any mess that he had cause was going to get cleaned up when he came back from the store. He needed a new tv after all and napkins... He found himself a pair of boxers and jeans letting the water from his hair trail down his strong naked chest. He dried himself before picking up a shirt.

For a second he stared at it with a look of suspicion before slowly and cautiously he sniffed it. It took him less than three seconds to notice how loud he yelped at the smell. He put it back down with a sigh and pulled on a heavy jacket to protect him from the outside weather. The man was outside locking his door in less than a second before walking to his car and unlocking the doors, he quickly jumped in and turned the vehicle on.

~

Ashley sighed softly walked up the street holding her plush body to keep some warmth on here somehow. She didn't remember how she had gotten here or where she was going but she knew she wasn't wanted anywhere she could tell from how the people looked at her. The rain ran down her brown skin and short curly hair wetting her wounded body all over. She continued to walk, at this point she wasnt sure if she was crying or if tgere was just rain in her eyes, a lot of the time she couldn't tell. Where was she and how would she find out without the locals casting hate and judgement on her? She shivered at the heavy droplets that beated down on her skin making the flesh seem red and the many wounds under her bandages itchy.

She whimpered out just from the despise she felt for herself as she walked. She trailed down the empty road and froze for a second in pure fear when a car drove by splashing water that had been dribbling down the sideway side along the way but slowed down before any could hit her. She looked up at the headlights like a scared rat not to mention some would say she looked like one and for a second she was tempted to ask if they could give her a ride whoever they were.

Where would she even go?

She turned her head in the idea wirh a shaky frown. No one would help her from what she could see. Not only were her clothes that were ripped and dirty a scare but apparently he skin color made the people a bit cautious. Not only did this seem true but she didn't want to force her problems on such a human. She looked away from the car and she couldn't tell if she was imagining it or not by the vehicle seemed to be slowing down even more driving next to her.

She tried to ignore it scared that someone would jump out and grab her and beat her to a pulp just for being around, thats what her last master would do anyway. She was shocked to see a beautiful man poke his head out the rolled down window.

Thanks to the action his long raven hair was getting soaked against his car door but he didnt seem to mind as his eyes fixed on her. He looked at her with his black eyes and proceeded to put on a friendly smile for the small human like girl. He didnt want to scare her away she could see and tell. She may have been a mindless doll but she could understand such an human action.

"Hey, are you ok?"

The man asked and physically seemed shocked when she smiled a weak smile. The winds had changed making wet leaves fly around his car and land in her  hair. He found her nodding her head shaking some water droplets out of her hair as a result onto her naked feet that were covered in bandaging the same as her arms and from her neck to her shoulders. Itachi stared at her with now a soft frown as she started walking again trying not to stumble and seem like a newborn dear. He wondered what happened to her and found himself growl at the thought of someone hurting her. He sighed. He hasn't seen one of these girls in a while not has he experienced feelings like these.

A strong independent woman.

Most girls he had met so far wanted nothing other than to get in his pants, to tell him how he was hot and sexy or to bitch about how their parents didn't understand them or how their boyfriend was a jerk hoping deep inside that it got them closer to him, he hated gurls like that but being the nice guy he was, he gently turned them down. He tried to keep the thought of her harmed body down. He'd figure it out once he got her to get inside the car.

This girl was strong but he knew he couldn't just leave her out here. She looked as though she could pass out at any second seeing how she lost quite some blood and how her gorgeous reddish brown eyes seemed shut. Not only that but the rednecks down the street would kill her for sure if they caught a hot glimpse of her. He glared harshly and deathly at his own thought. He didn't mind her skin color like everyone else did, if anything he thought it made her prettier. He drove forward catching up with her before she took a turn at the corner of the road.

Where even was she going?

He got more worried and didn't stop himself from honking the horn to get her attention which clearly worked as she visibly flinched at the noise scared that the man was going to hit her with his car even though she hadnt done anything wrong. He noticed the fear and smiled sadly. She was definitely coming home with him whether he had to waste hours out here or not, leaving her was not an option. She looked at back at him seeing how the man had did a u-turn to make it easier for them to speak.

Once again he poked his head out the car and spoke. He really hope his next sentence didn't scare here away. He looked at here thick and curvy body and had to ignore his heterosexual thoughts as a man. He couldn't tell her how beautiful she was yet but he did blush a bit. She stared ar him tilting her head softly in confusion.

"C-can you get in for me Ms? I'd be a monster if I didn't allow you shelter."

He spoke softly. For about a minute she stared some more before walking over to the door and leaning down softly. She looked inside glance over the nice seats and clean carpet and frowned a bit seeming how it looked like somewhere or something she didn't deserve. She looked away, her eyes cold and distant as she let the rough winds slap her over and over.

I'm not worthy.

"I-I can't sir. I'll ruin it."

She whimpered softly and he frowned softly seeing the wet bandages get bled through. What had happened to her and who even was she? She'll ruin it? He didnt think much about what she meant by that so he only shook his head.

"Please, get in. It's ok."

After a gentle argument she reached out with harshly shaky hands and opened the door, he frowned more getting more worried about this girl. Slowly and like a small scared animal she got in and sat down stiffly in the seat, it took him about fifteen minutes into the car ride to notice she was actually sitting but forcing herself to air sit. He let out a soft sigh and let her knowing that right now wouldn't be the time to comment on it. He looked at the bixes in his backseat to make sure nothing got broken as he drove home.

He blinked widely suddenly before looking at her remembering the mess had he left himself at home. She flinched and looked up at him with scared cat-like eyes.

His mouth opened to speak but he had forgotten looking like a dried up fish out of the ocean. He just couldn't get over how beautiful she was and how such a beautiful creature was in his car, just for him.

"S-Sir?"

He snapped out of it. Slowly turning his head back to the road tightening is grip on the wheel to control himself.

"When we got home, please don't mind the mess."

Ok ok I know the first chapter is shit however I got this from my wattpad which was when I posted it in 2018 at like the beginning of the year... I’ve changed mate so just work with me.

[aiweirdness]

Insufficient data may not compute, but it still loves you.

I train neural networks to imitate real-life human things, from fortune cookies to  to Harry Potter fan fiction to guinea pig names. Unlike traditional computer programming where a human programmer makes up rules that the program has to follow, when I train a neural network, I only have to give it the dataset - and the neural network makes its own rules.

The neural network always tries its best, but sometimes it has trouble figuring out what’s going on. One frequent problem: insufficient data.

When I train a neural network, it needs to see lots of examples before it can form a general rule about it. Otherwise, the best it can do is to memorize each individual example. This is why neural network researchers like really big datasets - and many of the neural network’s most realistic results (craft beers, metal bands, names of stories) have happened when I had tens or hundreds of thousands of examples in my dataset.

Here’s what happens when there is not nearly enough data.

A while ago, I trained a neural network to generate pick-up lines. The results ended up being oddly charming in a weird sort of way, since there wasn’t enough data for the neural network to pick up on the terrible puns and wordplay. Prof. Amita Kapoor of the University of Delhi contacted me, saying she would collect some better-quality romantic lines for me - and she sent me 100 of the most flowery romance lines you could imagine, lines from Shakespeare to classic Indian epics, lines like “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” and “Love, like the magic of wild melodies, Let your soul answer mine across the seas.”

They were flowery, but there weren’t nearly enough of them, and when I trained a big-brained neural network (512 neurons per layer) to generate them, it was so smart that it quickly learned to memorize the lines and spit them back (slightly garbled) at me.

Love, oh, love is flome is night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I'd be soaring in fain

My fading face lights up when you look at me, and my physicians think this ailitilu hour or two - is gone.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and pleasant than a bright summer day

I am not interested in being a star. I just want to be wond.

So, I tried to handicap the neural network by turning off some of its neurons during training. It’s a technique called “dropout”, and the idea is that to memorize a long phrase, a neural network has to have a bunch of neurons working together in a Rube Goldberg-style mechanism. Knock a bunch of neurons out at random, though, and the neural network has to resort to simpler, more general rules that only depend on a few neurons at a time. No more memorization, in theory.

A dropout of 0.5 (50% of the neurons knocked out at random) slowed the neural network down a bit, but didn’t stop it from memorizing entire phrases.

And love will last as pure and whole As when he love is life and mere, And put your harsher moods and starry skies.

What the hell is with me always, wherever I go.

A hoppy farther with the dawning soul.

TAKE, O take those lips away week you roaming? O, danker is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.

So I decided to be harsher. I tried a dropout of 0.8 instead. At any given time during the training, 80% of the network’s neurons are completely nonfunctional, and it doesn’t know in advance which 80%. Furthermore, I restricted its memory to only 15 characters at a time (a couple of words, no more).

That did the trick. The neural network had a much harder time.

Lehed wres deer than ghon the deer the seing bite; souit the weent witite: I fot and done I ghimh thos the seosd.

I af thot sra hoire and that ghot i romer to kron o faith the seyees co ler me In hoald gotlelt, as nise, A ou morer in beeralom is mooud worl the cowe, wo mace tho haw roy note, I your che pin' goisid, it roriru, bu cimh fous otey thet thas dosl oc my love an yiut, pawk nive.

I let it try for longer.

I he would your love;

By love, my day, To canger worrd ase voud on love.

Finally, it was clear that I had slowed the neural network down just a bit too much. The only relevant word it had managed to consistently spell was “love”. (Well, “fart” too, but I’m beginning to expect that of a neural network)

I tried again with the same harsh dropout settings and short memory, but this time instead of giving the neural network letters to work with, I used this framework that lets it use syllables as its building blocks. It learned more words! Everything is words now!

if dreams the is is the love love and in are., the our than of shall with to love in that would bounded o with the who thee mine help nor alive the it, day, charms of is love and youth the to sweet nor have as that fair a my to that starry me have never, star were grave it, and and both, one i to the you and the are love the with re the, i my of prov of but it some on ter have from love t so joy at from your side hands some not bring about of your spir!

I’m not sure this is where we want to be, but at least it sounds happy.

Even if the neural network never did learn to be both original and coherent with this tiny dataset, all was not lost! In fact, it got to help write an actual opera.

Its first weird attempts turned out to be exactly what Klara Kofen of the Waste Paper Opera Company of Birmingham, England needed for the voice of an android, taught to speak by a lonely inventor.

The neural network’s lines such as

I dist love, Whatever fockle tongues may say.

My love it flomy pass to be human.

Might I starl with the dawning soul.

A haul, I frow it sture and in wenther do I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness, now I remember my faithfulness…

and more, are now set to music in ‘i’ The Opera, the first-ever opera that features neural network programming. Read a review here, and watch the whole thing performed at the Tête à Tête opera festival here.

Instead of season two yuuri’s introductory voice about fiance and soon married thing (which is sadly maybe unlikely) my imagination for the season two opening is more like this:

Yuuri is shoveling snow. “My name is Katsuki Yuuri, you probably already know I am dime in a dozen japanese skater. After my first time winning silver in Grand Prix Final, i have spent some time in St Petersburg to train, and thanks to my coach and everyone support I have been able to compete and gained some victory” (katsu!) (zoom to medal in one of the glass case inside the house). “For the preparation of my next competition, currently I am back in Japan” (zoom out to show Yutopia inn plate) “as I will be representing my country, Japan” (Yuuri still shoveling snow, stop to warm his hand and look up to the sky)

“Oh? About my coach?” (Hiroko voice suddenly calling from afar: “Yuuri!! Come here!!”) Yuuri looking back to the door of the inn. “Hai!” He then walk in to the house (emphasis on his hand opening the door of Yutopia inn. wirh the RING shining) he walk to the main room, a barking sound could be heard. “Look! Vichan is on TV now!”

TV show Viktor walking, before stoping and then taking off his sun glasses (of course the RING in his finger as he move is shhing) and then he winked. The people around him melt and then a blurred TV of him being interviewed with Yakov beside him. Yuuri looking at the TV.

“After declaring that he is coming back to skate, Victor Nikiforov, five time world meddalist and also my coach..is also busy with activity.” (Victor still interviewed) Yuuri eyes look shining with glimer as he watched Victor in TV smiling. . “Sometimes, in honesty I still dont believe that Victor have come to be my coach so that I can compete and win silver at Grand Prix.” “Cant I say something?” Suddenly Victor in the TV speak in English. And then suddenly his serious demeanour change he is waving his hand to the camera with heart shapped mouth calling “Yuuri~ I am coming to Hasetsu after this, make sure you have been able to do all of the four quad that I told you about~” (heart shapped mouth and waving all around). Yuuri blushing hard at Victor reminding him of his practice and what a rigorous demand of result that is.

and then Makkachin bounced up to the tv screen put hia paws to the screen and bark again “Ara ara Vicchan is coming here, arent you happy makkachib” Hiroko smile.

(Yes makkachin is with Yuuri, u cant convince me otherwise that victor would let any other person than Yuuri to take care of makkachin when he is away)

Then the infamous line. As Yuuri still blushes looked at happy waving Victor “he really is the man who never cease to suprise me”

Season Two story begann!!######

Silent Reading, chapter 41. I didn't mention it but the Tao Ran house party chapters beforehand had soooo much luo/fei stuff including Luo Wenzhou recognizing "hey I think fei du is a grown man now and I think I do have a crush objectively just because it's Fei Du I feel awkward about it hmm I'll examine that later." So again Luo Wenzhous more mature in recognizing his feelings developing. Still didn't choose to act but its still a big development. Especially him shifting to see Fei Du as an equal, as a person who if a stranger isn't a murdering violent bitch Or a poor child who needs his protection, but an attractive charming sometimes rude individual who has his dark moments or withdrawn ones but is also quite handy and smart and pleasant at times. It's that internal decision to stop letting his old biases color how he sees Fei Du, and start seeing him as an equal. Which certainly in part drives his more reliable work afterwards of generally trying not to insult or purposely pick as many fights - you scold a child, but not an adult stranger you just accept them or stop talking to them. You can tell them they hurt you and they either fix it or don't, but unlike a child who you might tolerate messing up frequently an adult you eventually stop fighting them if it's forever. And since that realization Luo Wenzhous shifted to some teasing and ribbing back when Fei Du starts it (and still a bit of "I'm your dad I'm disappointed in your slutty rich boy ways" lol) but he's definitely toned down the picking fights and is now approaching things more positively/cooperatively with overtly warm intent (so more like he treats Tao Ran).

Second? Oh my fucking God I had a breakdown reading this scene Fei Du (as he's now doing) made a sexual innuendo that it's sad Luo Wenzhou sleeps alone, so Luo Wenzhou TOOK THE BAIT and said then why don't you blow ME. IM CRYING

Fei Du!!!! This is why the flirting you did was pandoras box! It was only gonna be a matter of time before your twos penchant to "give back as good as you get" combined with "use sexual innuendos to sexually frustrate him" resulted in Luo Wenzhou getting too into the rhythm and giving back ToT

WOW. And then they both sat there in awkward horrific nonresponse cause like. What the fuck else were they gonna do??? Only way from there is fei du to COMMIT to the path and say he'll keep Luo Wenzhou company that night and go "comfort" him and Fei Du did NOT expect his sex come on to be accepted with a suggestive matching response lmao

So they immediately go to "pay your respects to dad (me)" no doubt hoping if they lean into the ur my surrogate dad the sexual tension SURELY HAS TO DIE RIGHT. Great job guys. Excellent. Yall are doing Phenomenal

Also Fei Du you're literally conditioning yourself to a very specific kink I hope yr that self aware at least. You're gonna have Luo Wenzhou tied to the bed in a year saying "does daddy want another" in between bites and you're both gonna WISH such a statement turned yall off but unfortunately now it's ingrained cayse you fuckers kept calling each other that right in between flirts for MONTHS. GUYS!!! YOURE SO DUMB SOMETIMES

I love them. I think they're great. Fei Du is absolutely streamlining right into this relationship and Luo Wenzhou is literally doing Nothing except chilling. He got a crush? Sure. And he was keeping it TO HIMSELF. Then you had to keep making the sexual come ons fei du, like fucking hell man at Some Point Luo Wenzhou was gonna be like "Well he said he wanted it and I wanted it anyway and if he's happy wirh it Sure" especially in the heat of one of yalls "verbal competitions" so really like. Congrats on creating the awkwardness fei du I love you dearly.

Also lmao Luo Wenzhous power is to say shit so !!!!! They're both too awkward to speak djjdjf

Quote (I'm still fucking crying. Also on a serious note aww ;-; the cat backstory and Fei Dus fears ;-; ):

Fei Du accordingly stopped the car at some distance. “Do you…uh, need to get vaccinated?”

Hearing this ordinary inquiry, Luo Wenzhou was very shaken—more shaken than if Luo Yiguo had run over to him for a cuddle. He was even a little tongue-tied. “N-no…no need, the last one hasn’t expired yet.”

Out of the twelve months of the year, Captain Luo was in an “unconquerable condition” for eleven and a half of them. The doctor who gave him the vaccine had proposed to get him a “yearly card,” moving from retail to wholesale.

When Luo Wenzhou’s shock had passed, he couldn’t resist taking a cheap hit. “You being so filial all of a sudden makes me a little panicked.”

Fei Du reined in the unusual expression on his face and once again put on his obnoxious drawl. With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, he said, “Caring for lonely elders is everyone’s responsibility. Tsk, keeping company with a cat in the endless night seems very desolate.”

Perhaps because Fei Du was so improperly dressed, and perhaps because Luo Wenzhou’s good opinion of himself had gone to his head, he felt that Fei Du’s glance, floating over as he talked nonsense, had a touch of seduction to it. Accompanying the hummed “in the endless night,” it truly did inspire reverie. Thereupon his mouth accidentally went a little over the line.

“What,” said Luo Wenzhou, casually taking a liberty, “you’re offering oral consolation?”

Fei Du: “…”

Luo Wenzhou: “…”

As soon as this joke that had gone too far was spoken, the two of them became silent at the same time. Inside the small and narrow sports car, the atmosphere was so unusual as to defy description.

Luo Wenzhou would have loved nothing better than to somehow put those words, which had somehow slipped out, back into his mouth. He was dumbstruck for a moment, then gave a dry cough and not very brilliantly backtracked. “At the end of the year, don’t forget to bring dad a box of snacks.”

Fei Du forced out a laugh. “Should I also burn three incense sticks?”

After this, the two of them simultaneously climbed out, in tacit agreement, planning to forget the preceding awkwardness inside the innocent sports car.

Luo Wenzhou suddenly remembered something. He turned to Fei Du. “On the subject, I remember you quite liked that cat. Why were you unwilling to keep it no matter what afterwards?”

Fei Du put his hand on the car door. His movements paused. The distant lights fell on his exposed forehead and brows; the arcs seemed to have been carved that way, the outlines finely planned.

“A pet?” After his pause, Fei Du said, as if nothing had happened, “I don’t like having pets. They’re so much trouble. I didn’t feel comfortable saying so in front of Tao Ran. Also…”

He looked up, the tip of one eyebrow moving lightly. “What if I have a hobby of sadistically killing small animals? I couldn’t control myself, and I was afraid I wouldn’t have a way to account for myself to Tao Ran, so I had to keep a safe distance. Captain Luo, do you think that’s a reasonable explanation?”

Luo Wenzhou stared, intuitively sensing that these words of Fei Du’s weren’t a disgusting joke, but before he could read the meaning between the lines, the voice of a member of a search and rescue team came over his earbud. “Captain Luo, we’ve found the place where the girl threw the alarm device, as well as some footprints.”

Instead of season two yuuri’s introductory voice about fiance and soon married thing (which is sadly maybe unlikely) my imagination for the season two opening is more like this: Yuuri is shoveling snow. “My name is Katsuki Yuuri, you probably already know I am dime in a dozen japanese skater. After my first time winning silver in Grand Prix Final, i have spent some time in St Petersburg to train, and thanks to my coach and everyone support I have been able to compete and gained some victory” (katsu!) (zoom to medal in one of the glass case inside the house). “For the preparation of my next competition, currently I am back in Japan” (zoom out to show Yutopia inn plate) “as I will be representing my country, Japan” (Yuuri still shoveling snow, stop to warm his hand and look up to the sky) “Oh? About my coach?” (Hiroko voice suddenly calling from afar: “Yuuri!! Come here!!”) Yuuri looking back to the door of the inn. “Hai!” He then walk in to the house (emphasis on his hand opening the door of Yutopia inn. wirh the RING shining) he walk to the main room, a barking sound could be heard. “Look! Vichan is on TV now!” TV show Viktor walking, before stoping and then taking off his sun glasses (of course the RING in his finger as he move is shhing) and then he winked. The people around him melt and then a blurred TV of him being interviewed with Yakov beside him. Yuuri looking at the TV. “After declaring that he is coming back to skate, Victor Nikiforov, five time world meddalist and also my coach..is also busy with activity.” (Victor still interviewed) Yuuri eyes look shining with glimer as he watched Victor in TV smiling. . “Sometimes, in honesty I still dont believe that Victor have come to be my coach so that I can compete and win silver at Grand Prix.” “Cant I say something?” Suddenly Victor in the TV speak in English. And then suddenly his serious demeanour change he is waving his hand to the camera with heart shapped mouth calling “Yuuri~ I am coming to Hasetsu after this, make sure you have been able to do all of the four quad that I told you about~” (heart shapped mouth and waving all around). "Vi- Vik to ru..." Yuuri blushing hard at Victor reminding him of his practice and what a rigorous demand of result that is. and then Makkachin bounced up to the tv screen put hia paws to the screen and bark again “Ara ara Vicchan is coming here, arent you happy makkachib” Hiroko smile. (Yes makkachin is with Yuuri, u cant convince me otherwise that victor would let any other person than Yuuri to take care of makkachin when he is away) Then the infamous line. As Yuuri still blushes looked at happy waving Victor “he really is the man who never cease to suprise me” Season Two story begann!!######
