Scream for me?
AN: Ghostface is soooooo 🤤 This is a teaser, if you guys would like me to continue this, let me know in the comments! I plan on turning this into nsfw (obvs)
TL: @stygianoir
CW: Swearing, stalking
Tumblr media
With inky smudges and a frantic shake all over his body, Danny was desperate. No one had ever even attempted to get close to finding out his little game, no one! His panting got louder and more desperate as he started to rip papers off the corkboard. After his 5th cup of coffee, he seemed to have reached a sense of clarity regarding his…situation… Carefully and calmly as he could, he picked up a small Polaroid and pinned it to the middle of the board. 
It was a late morning for you, about 3 pm. Waking up to grab some coffee and get to the office a bit later than usual. You had a new story to report on, the mysterious murders that had been happening over your small town. Running out of the door, you swung by your local coffee shop to grab your sugary frozen espresso granita. While standing in line, you couldn’t help but notice the uniquely handsome stranger staring you down. His demeanor was brooding and sullen, eyes sunken in. Not knowing what to do, you swiftly turned around from the register to take a seat—total weirdo. 
“I swear I had the pictures!” Your coworker sputtered. The sigh you let out was enough to alert everyone in the facility to your disappointment. “It’s alright, I get it.” You moaned. Trudging back to your desk, you noticed a small red envelope on your desk. That’s strange– you had sworn that no one had walked by your desk before you had gotten there. Opening it, you found pictures of… Oh fuck… that's your bedroom.
That’s your bed.
That’s your nightstand with the shitty light that helps your read late at night.
Those are your plushies from your mom to keep you from becoming homesick. 
That’s
You
In the bed. 
Tumblr media
Shaking, you grabbed your stuff and left in a frenzy. Obviously, you couldn’t have let anyone know where you were going. You’re making this so easy for him.
After going to the police station, you found no one inside. ‘Damn it…’ You bit your lip. What are you supposed to do? You had to pack at home and go to a hotel. When you got home, you realized that the door was already open. You just had to grab your wallet upstairs so you can get a damn hotel. As the wood on your shitty old stairs started to creak, you heard a thump from behind you. The door had closed.
Tumblr media
Pt 2 out now!

Summary: You go to your office only to heard a bad news from your secretary, Choi Soobin. The worst part is the bad news are related to the hit and run accident that happened 4 years ago. Meanwhile, the good news is that you might have received an information that will marks the start of a chaos.
TEASER | TEASER 2 | CHAPTER 1 | CHAPTER 2 | CHAPTER 3 | CHAPTER 4 | CHAPTER 5
Pairing: Attorney! reader × Undercover Police! Jay Cameo: Secretary! Soobin Cameo: Secretary! Soobin Triggered Warning!: None Word count: 1203 words Inspired by: Kdrama "Why Her?" and "Siren" by Taeyeon Song Recommendations: Cold As Hell by Taeyeon
Tumblr media
The sound of click-clacking of the shiny, black pearl coloured heels that you wear is heard along the corridors. You walk straight towards your office room while the staff around you give a 90-degree bow as you walk past them. Once you have reached your office room, someone knocks on the door while you settle down on your executive seat.
"Come in!"
Soon enough, a guy in his 20s finally shows up in front of you, wearing a complete set of a dashing gray colored suit with a neatly tied red tie.
"Report."
You did not hesitate nor stuttered, and he didn't waste any time to deliver what he's got. He professionally scrolls down the tablet that he is holding at the moment. Known as Choi Soobin, the guy is your secretary that your father appointed to you almost 3 years ago.
"You have no scheduled meeting this morning until the afternoon. However, there is a new case reported last night, and I am afraid to say that it might involve you and the whole Yang's family."
Your eyebrows frowned upon hearing the report from Soobin. As much as you want to lash out and curse him, you know better not to do that under any circumstances given the fact that your family and the Choi share a long history together and even secrets from the darkest to the dirtiest ones that they keep burried together through the years. But, of course, that's another story for another time.
"What do you mean? What does the case have to do with me?"
Your pupils dilated as the memories of that night that occurred a few years ago suddenly play inside your head like a projector.
'There's no way '
Your heart whispered as your heart beat furiously. It pounds so fast that you lose your composure as someone always has a poker face with little to no expression at all on your face, which is a rare sight to see for your staff and family but not to Soobin as it is the second time for him. The first time he saw your face making that very same expression was a night that he won't be able to forget at all, forever.
"Unfortunately, it is exactly as what Chairman Yang expected back then. The police finally found the major evidence of the incident from 4 years ago last night. It's all over the news right now."
You didn't even notice that your breath has become unstable if it weren't for Soobin who kneels before you as he tries his best to distract you from his report just now. Thankfully, the intercom button is not that far from where he is standing, which made it easier for him to contact one of the staff outside of your office to ask for mineral water for you.
"Mrs. Oh, please bring a glass of mineral water to Director Kim's office and make it as soon as possible!"
Despite the obvious panic and anxiety that filled the whole room, Soobin managed to calm you down as he protectively held you in his arms before Mrs. Oh entered the room to pass the glass of mineral water to him. With closed eyes, you take a deep breath before you drink the mineral water and break free from Soobin's arms that were holding you just now and fix your "image" by glaring at Soobin as if you are blaming and warning him to keep his mouth about what he had seen earlier.
After all, you are THE Serena Yang, the heiress of the Yang conglomerate family from the Young Group that has power over the politics, business, government internal affairs, and even the laws in South Korea. Not to mention, your father is Chairman Yang, who is rumored to step down sooner or later as the current president of the Young Group, since he will be one of the candidates in the upcoming General Election aiming to be the future Prime Minister.
When that happens, you know very well that it's either you or your younger step brother, Yang Jungwon, that would be the heir or successor of the Young Law Firm. Long story short you can't let yourself be seen as a weak, soft-hearted girl to the public and not even Soobin is granted that privilege, to see you in your vulnerable state ever since that night from 4 heard ago happened.
You believe that only when you act cold-hearted, you get to be the bigger person and hold the power to your opponents as most of them have a hard time figuring out your true emotions and feelings. As a result, not even one person, and neither your family, is able to break that wall that you built. It's a mistake that you let your guard down for the second time as the news is quite unexpected and dangerous to you. It traumatized you.
"How much did they find out so far? How did they find the evidence when everything was taken care of?"
You walk closer towards Soobin and take a grip of his red tie that was neatly tied before you ruined it by pulling it.
"Did you lie to me and my family?! Were my family and I being deceived?! Are we that low and easy to fool for you and your men?!!"
Soobin makes eye contact with you as he keeps his calm demeanor while grabbing your hands that are still gripping onto his shirt to take your hands off of it. As soon as your hands are out of contact with his tie and shirt, you turn around and take another sip of the mineral water to cool yourself down from lashing out at Soobin again.
"No, of course not at all, Director Yang. I promised you that every single thing was taken care of that night. Chairman Yang's men also have made sure of that and give your family the evidence. Everything is buried safe and sound until a guy that I believed is the older brother of that girl appeared. The police investigated the case again per the guy's request and when they discovered her body.. The case is reopen officially now."
At this point, you know that you have to brace yourself for the worst-case scenarios that could happen to you or your family if the truth prevails and comes to light.
"Older brother.. you said?"
You immediately reach for the daily newspaper that Soobin put on your table earlier and take a look at it while Soobin continues with his explanation.
"Yes. Unfortunately, it turned out that the girl had an older brother. And he was also the one who insisted the police reopen the case and do an investigation of it again."
Being in distress and feeling like you're trapped, you let out a piercing scream before you tear up the newspaper that you have read a few minutes ago.
"Run a proper background check about the girl and make sure you find out who her brother is and identify his identity with details. By hook or by crook."
You grab your Birkin handbag before you make your way out of the office room, leaving Soobin all alone inside.

DETAILS:
1. The name of female lead
- is chosen because the I wanted the main female character to have the same aura and vibe as Serena Serenity (from manhwa "Serena").
2. The surname and the company name
- Originally to be used as Kim family and Sunoo was supposed to be the little step brother
- But it changed to Young family to give off Crazy Rich Asian family aura. And it's a coincidence that it sounds identical to Yang, thus, the Yang family and Young Group (the company's name). And, yes. Jungwon is officially the little step brother of the household.
3. There are some of the hints (the night incident from 4 years ago) that started n this chapter so you better take noted of it from here and good luck finding each pieces before the siren caught you.

new story teaser?
“Captain, I’ve got something for you.”
“Well, that’s never good coming from you.”
Kate Laswell smirks to herself on the other end of the phone, knowing that Price’s words were spot on. She sighs, opening a manilla folder file on her desk and shifting through its papers. 
“New mission for the 141.”
Price huffs. “Fantastic.”
The Captain places the phone on the table, pressing the speaker button so that each soldier present in the room can hear the debrief Laswell was about to give. Sergeants Soap and Gaz lean forward in their seats while Lieutenant Ghost steps closer to the table, his arms stoically crossed. “Lay it on us.” Price sighs. 
Laswell looks over the papers on her desk. “The last two months, we’ve gotten reports of some sporadic murders. Normally, this isn’t something the FBI would be concerned with. Leave it up to the state police.”
Price nods. “Right.”
“Well, the victims happen to be some important people. Two senators from the US, one politician from Germany, another from the UK, and seven government officials from Russia. It's threatening national security. We have no idea who is killing these guys or why they are doing it. Shepard is on my ass about this. I need you guys to find this guy and bring him in. Preferably alive for interrogation. I've got a lead; I’ll send it over to you.” Laswell finishes, starting to type away on her computer.
“How d’you know it’s only one guy commitin’ these murders?” Ghost speaks up.
“He leaves a…calling card, of sorts. Pink ribbon, tied to the victims. It’s a bit…” Laswell trails off.
“Odd?” Soap finishes. Price glances at his brothers-in-arms, his gaze lingering on Ghost for a moment, almost as if silently asking his opinion on the matter. Ghost only gives the Captain a blank look. The phone on the table dings, and Price picks it up to see the information on the lead Laswell sent. “All right, we’ll get it done.” Price says, standing from his chair.
“I’ll be in touch. Play this smart, Captain. This guy is dangerous. He escaped three different capture attempts. He knows what he’s doing.” Laswell warns through the phone. 
Price grins, glancing at the men in front of him.
“Well, so do we.”
************************************************************************

Random Tuesday Preview
Because tomorrow is Valentine's Day which means tomorrow is EXCHANGE DAY so I don't want to give away too much but here's a little teaser just for fun.
Here I am like "oh I can do the exchange it's a short fic I'll just make sure not to go overboard and it'll be fine" but I'm over 11.5k words and counting and only the first chapter will be posted tomorrow 🤣 (I'm hoping there will only be two chapters and that I can get the second posted in the next week or two. I'm really sorry to everyone who's waiting on all my OTHER unfinished long fics.)
I had a hard time picking a section because I didn't want it to be too spoilery or give away enough that the recipient would guess, but since we're only one day out, I guess it's okay to spoil one thing (warning for a slightly dirty joke 😂).
“I really need to talk to Alya now,�� she groaned, and then tried to laugh. It wasn’t very convincing, but Luka smiled anyway. 
“You need me to give you a minute?” he asked, and she shook her head, picking up her phone. It had enough battery now to power on and sure enough, there were a bunch of messages waiting for her. One was just a check in from her parents, and she sent them back a quick, mostly-true reply. She didn’t bother with the ones from Alya, just hit the button to call her. She held it away from her ear until she heard Alya’s voice screeching her name—her full name, of course, and then brought it back to her ear when Alya’s voice dropped to a more normal volume.
“Where have you been?” Alya demanded. “I almost called the police and reported you missing. Adrien said you never showed up and—”
“Adrien?” Marinette demanded, and Luka glanced at her, one eyebrow raised. “The mystery man you wanted me to meet was Adrien?”
“Yes, and you blew it!”
“There was nothing to blow, Alya!” Marinette exclaimed, and then scowled at Luka when he choked on a laugh next to her. She flailed her hand in his direction, smacking his shoulder a couple of times, while he tried to smother his chortling. “Would you please just let that whole thing go? Why on earth would you think I wanted to meet him?” Dressed like that, she thought, slapping a hand on her face. What a disaster that would have been, she was sure. 
“Oh, come on, he said he wanted to see you, and he’d been missing you a lot, and I just knew he’d finally gotten a clue and you were so hot last night I thought for sure—”
“She’s not wrong,” Luka muttered, and Marinette whipped her head around to glare at him. He shrugged. “Sorry, she’s loud.”

So that teaser trailer...
Wanted to get together some observations and thoughts, would love to hear what ya’ll are thinking about it too.
-Font choice: questionable
-I’m wondering if the “My name is Nathan Leopold” “Richard Loeb, nice to meet you” talking to the camera bits and the hand clasp are going to be in the movie itself or if they were just filmed for the trailer? If they are going to be included....where would those extreme close up intros even fit? They’re like POV in a hallucination.
-They finally got the title of Leopold’s book correct: it’s 99 not Ninety-Nine.
-When Leopold is typing on the typewriter you can see and hear the original actor hired to be Leopold. The continuity is also all over the place on what he’s typing. First shot: kidnapped Second shot: kill your Third shot: kidnapped Fourth shot: kill your boy These appear to be the only words on the page, as if Leopold is starting his typing there. “Kill your boy” was in none of the ransom notes used, and kidnapped was never the first word on a page.
-The Bobby kidnap scene is all over the place too. The car pulls up and obviously it’s not the same color, make or model as the real car, but for a no budget movie, you take what you can get. But in the background as the car pulls up you can see modern awnings for a florist and a Thai restaurant in the background, along with modern signage, handicapped parking spaces, telephone wires, etc. It might have been easier for them if they filmed it on a residential street-where Bobby was actually picked up-instead of on a street with a bunch of businesses.
-The clothes for all three are inaccurate to what they were wearing on the kidnap day, and everyone is rocking bow ties. Bobby also starts screaming at the top of his lungs in their open windowed car in the middle of a street, Loeb makes no attempt to cover his mouth, not sure how they don’t get caught there.
-We see Judge Caverly, Darrow and Crowe on the stairs, the only actor they tried to get close to looking like the actual person was Darrow, the other two are very far off, Crowe is bald and his suit really doesn’t fit. Nice stairwell they’re filming on though.
-Some time period inaccurate makeup as we get a close up on a flapper and then both the original Leopold and Loeb appear dancing with the film’s choreographer. 
-Then some bizarre shots of what looks like a modern fancy dance with teenagers where no actors from the production can be seen. Not sure if this is stock footage or something the production had from some other project?
-Shot of the original Loeb choking the original Leopold in extreme blue lighting.
-Then we get to the see the courtroom crowd. There’s very few of them, they can’t even fill half the courtroom. There’s also no care for period accuracy here: the clothing is off, there’s short sleeves, several extras have a lot of facial hair including thick beards and there are children sitting in. There’s also a female police officer standing guard.
-Loeb throws a peace sign to the crowd, then turns around and looks directly into the camera. His suit is also noticeably too small for him.
-There seems to be a jury? EDIT: Have confirmed from an actor that yup, there’s a jury! A huge change from the actual case!
-The last scene:
Reporter: Alright boys, let’s get some pictures. Reporter: Woah woah woah woah woah. What does it feel like to be celebrities? Are you guys nervous? Loeb: Do I look nervous? (laughs)
This could actually have been taken from actual newspaper coverage, not the celebrities bit, but there were several times where newspapers printed similar responses from Leopold and Loeb about being nervous.
So, if I’m honest, I think it looks like a bit of a mess. This production is also nowhere near done. They’ve only shot one week with the original Leopold-Loeb actors and one week with the current Leopold-Loeb actors. I assume that first week will have to be scrapped and reshot, unless they’re actually planning to just include both sets of actors and hope the audience doesn’t notice?

What occupations do the Fontaine character's have?
THE OVERTURE TEASER DROPPED and I have a lot of thoughts on it, but mostly the thing I have been thinking about are the various jobs and occupations that the characters will have. In Genshin, it's very standard for characters to have their design be themed around their job. Gorou is dressed like a general, Itto has themes of Kabuki theatre in his outfit and often likes to go and perform in the shows, Hutao is dressed like an old funeral director etc.
And I noticed the Fontaine characters all have a theme of red and blue in them with the exception of a few characters. I also noticed that their outfits are noticeably not quite as "costume" like as the other nations, where you can't immediately tell what job they are supposed to have.
Let's start with Fremenet, this blond kid in the water at the beginning of the teaser:
Tumblr media
My theory is that based off of the holographic glow to his suit and how sleek it is, that he is some kind of deep sea diver. His outfit is very reminiscent of a diver's outfit minus the whole swim gear that lets you breath. Fontaine is said to have technology that's way more advanced than the other nations so this could be why he doesn't have any kind of helmet.
He also mumbles about "his mission" and that makes me wonder if he is a diver sent on a mission to do something deep underwater.
Tumblr media
These two we already knew were performers of some kind, but there's obviously something more going on here with them than meets the eye. The trailer constantly repeats this as well, since it's mostly being narrated Lyney himself. I think they have a much more important role in Fontaine. My theory was always that Fontaine was a nation that has to keep most of what it does under wraps because it's the closest to Celestia. Like Fontaine is LITERALLY underneath Celestia. So perhaps these two are responsible for making sure people don't question things or they don't dig too deeply into learning certain things.
Fontaine seems to be the most politically driven nation so I suspect their job will be to not only entertain people, but to distract the public from the truth around them.
Tumblr media
Now she's kind of a mystery and I had no idea what she was even really up to most of the trailer. But I think that's the point because she's always doing something that's kind of strange, and she's always in a place she probably shouldn't be in.
Tumblr media
Like here she is on top of a building for some reason and then later on we see she's also in another place she shouldn't be. The character has a theme of being in places she's not allowed to be in, and I think this is on purpose because I believe her "job" will be as either some kind of model/influencer. Another reason i believe she might be some kind of Model/Influencer is because she's paired up with Charlotte the reporter we met in the last patch.
Tumblr media
It's almost like they're partnered together, and it would make sense for someone who's whole job is to have pictures taken of them, to be with someone who takes lots of photos.
Tumblr media
These two seemed really cool, but one thing I didn't notice on first watch of the trailer was that the red and black guy is BLIND. I thought he was just reaching over by mistake, but looking at his eyes and how he kinda felt the top of the first glass, it's clear that he is hard of vision/totally blind. My guess for them is that they're involved with the more official parts of Fontaine, possible law enforcement or whatever (he seems super edgy lol) and the little girl is like idk...his assistant I guess.
Tumblr media
I think these two are obviously like idk the guards of the city, she seems like a police officer and even has a gun at the end.
Now I already know what some of their official jobs are because of leaks but I won't repeat them here. These are my guesses for what they're going to do as their occupation in the game.

Kardeşlerim Ep 79
The girls managed to trick Zehra's brother and fiance and got out of the house. They ran into Omer on their way home. Omer apologized to Asiye and told her that he found out the truth about how Seval locked up Sevgi. He told her that he did the same to Seval so Asiye dragged him to the yalmaz house so they can free Seval but Ahmet and the kids were there. Omer told them everything and Yasmin ended up confirming what he said. After that, Omer reported both Yasmin and Seval to the police. They went to give their statements at the police station but they denied everything.
Aybike and the rest of the boys went to city hall with Tolga and Zehra. Look at how Oglucan was holding Doruk and Berk 😂
Tumblr media
Aybike said that Tolga and Zehra don’t look like they are about to get get married because they are wearing normal clothes and the officiant might get suspicious so Berk gave Tolga his shirt (my sweet boy 🥺) and Aybike and Zehra’s sister got flowers and a veil from a bride that just got married. 
Tolga and Zehra got married. Berk's facial expression throughout this whole scene was so funny 😂 Istg his face screams “I wish we were the ones up there”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Berk:”So, when will we also do this (getting married)?”
Tumblr media
Aybike:”I told you a thousand times, we have to graduate from high school, then graduate from university, then we have to start working and make our own money and after that, after that (we’ll get married)”
Tumblr media
Berk just nodded but I can tell he wasn’t satisfied with that answer. 
Tumblr media
When the officiant told Tolga that he can kiss the bride:
Berk: 😏
Tumblr media
Doruk, Oglucan, Aybike and Berk went back with Tolga and Zehra to Tolga’s house. Berk then told Tolga that he was leaving but Zehra told him to stay. She wanted to thank everyone for their help so she will make them tee or coffee. Berk looked at Doruk and Oglucan told Doruk:”He is looking at you”. DorBer’s scenes were so cute in this ep 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the evening, Zehra's brother and her ex-fiance came to Tolga's house. They brought some men with them. The boys fought with them and DorBer protected each other 🥺 After the fight was over, Doruk was helping Berk whipe the blood from his nose. Ppl were saying that they had newlyweds energy in this scene 😂
Tumblr media
Berk told Doruk that he was so mad about his dad's death that he took it out on him. Oglucan suggested that they should hug each other so they did.
Tumblr media
The next day, Berk told Doruk that he had a goodnight sleep (bc they made up). Berk suggested that they should celebrate. Doruk said that he didn’t receive his salary yet so Berk said that he will pay this time. They went to a restaurant with the girls and had dinner there. When it was time to pay, the server told Berk that his credit card had hit the limit. Berk called his mom and it turns out that she decreased his cards limit so he won’t spend “their money” on Aybike. I really don’t understand how Berk doesn’t have “ownership” of his bank account and cards even though he’s an adult and has his share of his dad’s inheritance. To pay for their meal, Berk Doruk and the girls had to clean the restaurant. The cleaning scene was adorable and we have Ayla to thank for that. 
Tumblr media
Ayla planned something else to get back at Sengul. She sent someone to make her believe that she can make money easily if she bought some olive trees bc she will gain so much money after the olive oil is sold. Sengul borrowed some money from her friend and invested it like the guy told her. The guy called her the next day and told her that she made a good amount of money but Sengul thought that it wasn’t enough to pay back her debt to Ayla so she went to the bank and took out a loan. She put up her house as a guarantee. She was going to use the money from the loan to invest more. Ayla managed to trick her because she tricked her friend Helmeya first and that’s how Sengul didn’t get suspicious. In the teaser, we can see that Ayla managed to buy Sengul’s house which means Sengul wasn’t able to pay back the loan and the bank took her house and sold it. I hope Berk will show the right reaction to this because Ayla has to be stopped. 
Seval was getting drunk at the restaurant so Suzan told her to get out. Suzan told her that she knows what she did to Sevgi. Seval showed her the picture of Akif kissing Nebehat. Suzan went back home and kicked Akif out of the house. Akif went to the restaurant and saw Seval there. He told her that since she told Suzan everything he will also tell the police about what she did to Sevgi. Seval ended up confessing and Akif recorded their conversation. He rode a motorcycle to go to the police but Seval went after him and hit him with her car. I don’t think he’s dead and he’ll probably end up in the hospital in the next ep.
Overall, I think today’s ep was great. We got so many cute Ayber moments ❤️ I hope they keep this up in the upcoming episodes.

okay so. i have this slight theory that we're actually watching act 1 (volumes 1-3 and all the little clips in between) from Sarah's point of view
cause like
can we agree that probably those small like
windows movie maker edited videos were probably made by Sarah? cause i have a strong feeling they were made by Sarah. like. that seems to be her editing style in each of these videos. maybe a younger Sarah, but it still feels like Sarah.
besides that, most if not all of act 1 is shown as footage found in the police database. which we know Sarah has definitely broken into at least once, especially with the whole sending Adam some files to "look over cause she was too busy" that we saw in the website teaser.
another thing is that the two cases act 1 mostly focuses on is Mark's and Adam's. you know. her brother's and the dude's she works (worked?) with. there's thousands of people affected by the alternate encounters if we judge by the population reports, so why those two specifically? wouldn't be weird if it was those two because the person viewing the tapes knew them, right.
we know for a fact by her reaction in vol 4 that Sarah has not yet seen the data concerning Adam and Jonah's case in 2009, which makes sense if you think that it's like, barely days after that happened. so maybe act 1 is just Sarah in the (near?) future, looking over files in the police database, trying to figure out what the fuck happened to her brother and coworkers.

And now some kind of teaser for the Halloween dlc.
Said dlc also has new adults!
The teaser is just normal (also cause I wanna be different the Bad end is canon) Caren is using markers to color the decorations (wonder why she wouldn't use scissors?) And the kids are having fun. Nearby the camera does a panning to a hallway with a large TV playing an ad for a toy store that is cut off by a news story about the toy store burning down and the only thing found is a puppet. The ad for the puppet makes sure to play her up as the mascot and beloved companion. Meanwhile, there's a radio of two people talking. One scientist talking about a 'non-human freak he accidentally sired' and then a police report about a dead child. Then, the children's names are said. 'INTRODUCING AMELIA!! AMES HER NAME IS AMES!' and the police goes 'One child was an unfortunate casualty being a young man Lazarus Fredrick Audrey.' The camera then goes to Halloween Ames and freddy. They both look human, but ames has tear marks on her face as her eyes sparkle and change from blueish pink to purple. Meanwhile, freddy looks much more human while he's also got red streaks going down his eyes, which look like they're gone his mouth and forehead are also coated in red. The duo then moves their heads. And with a layered voice, they say. 'Want to play?'*
*Meanwhile, the other adults are shown.*
Dolly:a large windup doll dressed up like a house wife from the 50s. Her face is cracked and she's clearly Burnt. The ad ends with her writing on a blackboard 'good children listen to mommy and daddy good mommies and daddies love their little babies.'
Barachi Sensei:(I think I spelt her name long.) Meanwhile our loving clown teacher is way more jester looking she in the ad is playing with a large trampoline she has.
And finally the music teacher! (I can't spell his name.) He is dressed like he's trying to cosplay bethoven while he's conducting chibi. Who's not paying attention playing with a drumstick. When he turns he shows his mouth is a large microphone.
*the costumes are as follow.*
Puppypile:*Is dressed like cats. Cause irony.*
Hikari:trying to be sailor moon but she's got the colors wrong.
Toddelilah:Todd is Lucifer cause he thinks he can pull of a white suit. Delilah meanwhile is trying to prove she can look good dressed like Lilith. She somehow got Todd's feet into heels. Somehow it doesn't slow him down.
The adults don't have Halloween costumes due to them not wanting to be dressed up. (Also, you find a Halloween costume for them.)
Alex:Is dressed like Saint Peter (the guy at the gate.)
The mangled duo:ames looks like a fnaf crying soul. Freddy looks like himself after his 'incident.'' (He used his powers to escape a lab that was bad to him, and it...Blew up in his face in more than one way.)
And the adults have jumpscares.
Dolly:*She grips the player who is in fact EK this time around and scolds them. Like baldi's principal she catches you she locks you in her classroom for an increasing amount of time.*
Music teacher:*You just get increasing louder Radio static as he gets close making a emergency radio sound test.* *All his Pic is sheet music for the song 'Tederoe march' his ads are for various bookstores music festivals and the school's Halloween party.*
Barachi Sensei:*She just swings a inflatable hammer at you.* *her picture is a drawing of a rabbit being knocked out with birds and stars she meanwhile is making a peace sign the ads for her a makeup store.*
Also Lines for the taulpas.
Toddelilah:"Todd! There they are! GET HER!" 'Easy easy I was never a track star!'
'I Miss being able to have two arms...' "and I miss having paws."
"Vox tech quality trust us with your sports" 'Todd.' "Yes?" 'Never copy my father's catchphrases ever again.'
The mangled:*their voice is layered* "WE SEE YOU"
"DONT PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WE ALWAYS WIN."
"WHERE THE *Loud as heck beep* ARE YOU?"
Godfather Sensei:*His is glitchy and jarbled* "Back away from the children right now!"
"If I am a cheap copy then what are you? I know. AM INVADER!"
"Why am I an owl?"
Puppypile:"food?" 'Bug!' "Treat?" 'Friend!'
*various barking sounds*
"I'm hungry" 'we all are.' "Chicken?" 'Ham!' "Candy!" 'I like Burgers!'
Alex:*Humming hell is forever*
"I miss mommy.."
"What would Daddy say here? Hmm...take no..shi..what was that last word?"
Hikari:*Giggles*
"Cwloser closer! Pway!"
"These toys are sticky. Ew..."
Dolly:'ah ah ah! Naughty naughty!'
"Does anyone smell smoke?"
*Blinded by flashlight* "mean children get punishment!"
Music teacher:"By the Bachs!"
"Did I brush my teeth this morning?"
"Chibi and matcha are on fantasy baby angel in the play...Ames Is the princess Hikiari is the Fairy uh...wait. why isn't Freddy on this list?"
Barachi Sensei:*Making bad knock knock jokes the punchline is always a variation of opening*
"Who ate my milk duds?"
*Snaping fingers to her humming the Addms family tune*
The patterns are simple.
All the adults will be way more persistent then the kids. You can slow them down with the flashlight but all this does is make them faster. They also will check hiding spots. They do stick to their spots. (Dolly walks the halls. The music teacher walks around the music room but he's also in the library sometimes. And barachi sensei is in the supply room and art classroom)
Yea! More horror game school! Let’s go!

re-processing the processing
when my dad took his life, we took all the paperwork that accumulated over months of phone calls and office visits and filed it away in a box that's sat in my closet in my childhood home for the last decade-plus. on a recent visit home, I went through the box in hopes of finding a copy of his passport for my application for dual citizenship (more on that in a future post). I didn't actually find it, but unfortunately uncovered artifacts from that time, the most painful time of my entire life, dredging suppressed memories to the surface.
I read the police report for the first time since I was a teenager - they listed out the possessions found with my father's body, including a suicide note, which they noted had a translation attached. I flipped the page and there it was - a handwritten note, in my own handwriting, translating my father's suicide note. in the pile of shards of memories of that fateful day, this was only a small fragment - it likely took me less than a few minutes to write down the translation, evidenced by the way I chose to write it out in abbreviated bullet points. but something in me broke, thinking about how, as a teenager, I was suddenly stripped of the last remnants of childhood. learning what a 401k was because I had to figure out how to log into my dad's account and transfer ownership to my mom. figuring out how to pay off all his credit cards and close the accounts. and translating the suicide note for the police, the most painful instance of the child-of-immigrants experience.
my sister was our family's rock during this time - her anger fueled her to try and get everything done quickly, and she doled out responsibilities to keep ourselves occupied, and her church arranged meal trains so we didn't have to lift a finger to nourish ourselves - the only thing we needed to do was check on her and make sure she was eating and drinking water. but even in the darkness, there was still light - nights where we finally got our mom to sleep and we snuck around the house for late night snacks, giggling just like when we were kids. my sister reminded me of the values our parents instilled in us, making sure I brewed and served tea in the teaser we saved for company, as she picked and sliced the ripest oranges and neatly arranged them in a spiral.
it's not her fault that my mom clung so tightly to her, and cast me to the side. before my sister left to go home, my mom planned a big family dinner to thank everyone for their support during that difficult time - everyone except me. I was commanded around like a child, condescended and belittled, as she lauded praise on my sister in front of our relatives. I have to remind myself constantly that as an emotionally immature parent, she didn't (and doesn't) understand the impact of her words and actions. and as it has been my entire life, I have to tell myself that my own mother loves me - just less than she loves the idea of being a mother, dreaming of having obedient children to reflect her adeptness at child-rearing.
I'm still processing what happens when a notoriously "sensitive" and "gifted" kid goes through this trauma - the abandonment issues, the guilt of being blamed for not stopping his father's suicide, the guilt of being angry and fighting with him when he died, the fear of losing everything I had worked for, and above it all, the fear that I am inherently incapable and undeserving of love. all I can say right now is that it involves constant emotional processing, and hoping that one day I will heal enough to open myself up to love - for myself and from myself.

Gus Abelgas' investigative crime show 'Forensics' returns to OnePH, formerly known as SOCO
(Prepared by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelanced News Writer, Reporter and Presenter of OneNETnews)
SAN ANDREAS, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- Renowned investigative journalist named Gus Abelgas is set to make a grand comeback on Philippine television as he brings back his investigative crime show 'Forensics', formerly known as Scene of the Crime Operatives (S.O.C.O.) from ABS-CBN (which was now Kapamilya Channel: Manila due to massive franchise shutdown). The much-anticipated return will be aired under a news channel from the TV5 Network called OnePH. Fans of Abelgas and crime-solving enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the debut episode after 3 long years of hiatus due to Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) pandemic.
In late-June 2023, the news broke that Mr. Abelgas would be returning to television after a brief hiatus due to the CoViD-19 situation nationwide and worldwide. Kapatid Insider was first reported that he will be bringing his renowned investigative skills and expertise to the newly revamped crime documentary and televised drama on the said current TV network.

Just for a quick double refresher… The popular, nostalgic investigative program called "SOCO: Scene of the Crime Operatives" was a long-running show on ABS-CBN that focused on real-life crime stories and investigative processes. With a dedicated team of forensics and scientific experts, Abelgas led the crew to unravel the mysteries behind the heinous crimes by analyzing evidence collected from crime scenes. The program provided viewers with an immersive experience, allowing them to accompany forensic investigators as they pieced together clues, studied victim profiles and interacted with law enforcement agencies with the likes of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
While OnePH, a channel under the TV5 Network is known for its diverse range of news and lifestyle shows catering to the Filipino audience. The channel aims to provide informative and engaging content across various genres, including news, business, entertainment and sports. This move is seen as part of the network's ongoing effort to expand its viewership and offer quality programming in partnership with noted personalities like Gus Abelgas.
As Gus Abelgas returns to television, fans of his previous work on SOCO and crime-solving enthusiasts can look forward to his signature investigative reporting style and his relentless pursuit of the truth. With the backing of OnePH and the TV5 Network, this comeback is expected to bring new dimensions to the world of crime shows, further solidifying Abelgas' reputation as an esteemed journalist in the field of forensic investigation.
The documentary crime drama show 'Forensics' is expected to premiere starting Saturday - July 15th, 2023 at 7pm (Manila local time), only on OnePH and streaming LIVE in the Philippines on Cignal Play. You can legally watch on Channel 1 via CignalTV and SatLiteTV digital TV boxes nationwide.

ATEEZ Theory TidBits Episode 13 - What did ‘THE WORLD EP 1: MOVEMENT’ contribute to the storyline?
Ateez’s 10th official release. This time they actually had a decent break between albums - an unusual 7 months. The album began their new era of THE WORLD, which had the same concept as their performance of ‘RHYTHM TA - The Awakening of Summer’ on KINGDOM - a dystopian futuristic world based on 1984, where the population are brainwashed into all being exactly the same and ATEEZ have to fight against this with the power... of music and dance. Okay, stereotypical, but it’s stereotypical for a reason.
In this post;
Materials in the album
Additions to the storyline
The album name
Track breakdown
Reactions from the fandom
Important motifs and storyline elements which were added
My perspective on the storytelling and quality (from a screenwriting kid)
Conclusions
The album was fascinating to me. Its place in the storyline is contested in my mind by angel-Yeosang and demon-Hongjoong, so I am a little confused at times. I of course love the gothic inspirations of 1984, but find that yet again, ATEEZ’s limitations in English names are on full display - A teenager Z made a very unappreciated comeback, and ‘Strictland’ is about as bad a name for this world as could possibly be created. Luckily, the music and dance are still slaying.
Full discussion below the line.
Materials
Just the most important stuff, because, as always, almost everything ATEEZ does contributes to the storyline in some way. 
Album - physical, with three versions including Diary ver.
MVs - Guerilla 
Dance practice/choreo videos, or other performances, for ‘Guerrilla,’ ‘Cyberpunk,’ ‘Sector 1,’ ‘The Ring,’ and ‘New World’ - bringing back ATEEZ having a choreo for almost every song on their album
The regular contents; teasers, reaction videos, vlives and so on.
Logbook roughly 80 onwards (ongoing). 
Additions to the storyline
MOVEMENT introduced a new era - and a new universe. This is interesting, because I would have assumed one of two things about universe in ATEEZ’s storyline - 1, that TREASURE, FEVER, and THE WORLD were all in different universes, or 2, that TREASURE was one universe and FEVER and THE WORLD were a different one. But Hongjoong’s segment on SHOWTERVIEW for this comeback suggests that FEVER and TREASURE were in the same universe, and that THE WORLD is in a different one, which just.... what the hell, Joong? Not only does this confuse everything I have already written about the storyline, but it also makes no sense with the evidence we have been given. I don’t understand how TREASURE and FEVER are supposed to exist in the same universe, unless ATEEZ want to establish that one universe can hold multiple timelines, and the whole theme of FEVER - the new world. How is it a ‘new world’ if it’s literally the same world...? But perhaps my upcoming dives into the diary entries and people’s thoughts on them will shed some light on this. Although I don’t have a lot of hope - it seems to me that ATINY have a habit of trying to make ATEEZ’s storyline a very strict timeline of very specific events, like a police report, rather than the semi-abstract non-linear narrative that it is. 
But we’ll see how that goes.
The album name + meaning 
It’s very interesting let me tell you that. THE WORLD makes me think of the ‘new world’ from  the FEVER albums. I would first assume that they have now reached this new world (thus why it becomes the world, but this doesn’t make sense, because the FEVER teasers includes phrases like ‘from the new world,’ which suggested that they had already reached it. Which in turn suggests that this is either another new world, or that this is perhaps the same world that is seen in a different light (a theory that my head has entertained quite a bit). The group finds out about the truth of their world and how bad it actually is - thus it goes from being the exciting adventure of the ‘new world’ to just ‘the world’ that is less idealistic and that they need to fix. Alternatively, it’s just a new world, and since the new world is the only one they have ever known at this point, it just is ‘the world’ to them. 
In contrast to THE WORLD, MOVEMENT is very easy to understand - not only are ATEEZ moving forward in both the storyline and the real world as artists and creatives, but they are also creating a literal movement in the storyline - freeing people from the brainwashing of the government and leading the cultural rebellion with their art and music. 
Track breakdown
Propaganda - I don’t really know what I can tell you about this one. It’s all in the name. It was literal propaganda and was using subliminal messages to worm its way into the mind of ATINYs and kpop fans everywhere.
Guerrilla - Literally ATEEZ describing how they’re going to use guerrilla warfare to fight the government. 
The Ring - ATEEZ literally got the ring of power from Lord of the Rings and are now using it for whatever purpose they see fit. The ring could well be a symbol representing the Cromer. Or maybe it is just a ring. Who knows.
New World - ATEEZ are building up the power to continue their movement - like a literal gathering storm. I like imagining them performing this while cosplaying Volibear from League of Legends. Or maybe you can imagine Volibear with Hongjoong’s face or something. Wow, something I never want to imagine again. 
Cyberpunk - I love it. It’s 10000% gothic 1984-style, with the lies that the government built up, the ideas of appearing and disappearing, poison and ice, and basically just the essence of a surveillance society.
Sector 1 - The second part of ‘Answer’ over two years later. Dang, that’s good preparation. ATEEZ are diving into the dark depths of this world they live in and finding the truth while discovering new emotions that they’ve never been able to feel because of the brainwashing of the government. Also, live vocals Jongho.
Reactions from the fandom
Well, as we would expect whenever Seonghwa exposes his shoulders, everyone liked it. I think most people were less impressed with the album and more impressed with how well it had been planned and how far in advance it had been teased. We had always known that ATEEZ teased things in advance, especially songs for their next album at the end of MVs, but we had never seen the song that had made up the mysterious music at the end of ‘Answer’ - until now. This two and a half year gap between songs really astounded a lot of people, including myself. But we always knew that ATEEZ had planned things in advance. There was even a one-year gap between the KINGDOM performance of RHYTHM TA that introduced the concept, and the actual album. 
But let’s put ATEEZ’s insanity aside, because we all know, and have known for years, that both ATEEZ and ATINY are insane. The album was very well received. Everyone liked the additions to the story and I think the general consensus was that this concept change was a good one. It didn’t hurt that they were on tour too - only hyped up more excitement for it. 
Important motifs and storyline elements which were added
The skin masks of European dudes ATEEZ use as disguises for some reason 
‘Strictland’ was introduced in the MVs and officially
Same with all of the motifs from RHYTHM TA - like the vault break concept, the brainwashing of the population, masks, and the like
ATEEZ’s rebellious phase
The Guardians made a return
My semi-professional perspective of the storytelling, production and production values, etc
Although it isn’t my favourite in concept or music (and those fake-leather plasticy clothes they put the boys in look so uncomfortable), I think ATEEZ made a really good choice with this album. And a lot of it comes down to how well they planned it. And this is in five main ways. 
They introduced the Guardians at the end of ‘Answer,’ which made us wonder about who they were and what they were doing. This is also when the intro music for ‘Sector 1′ was revealed, which also increased hype. 
RHYTHM TA was done in the relatively safe space of KINGDOM, which allowed ATEEZ to experiment with their concepts. This allowed them to introduce the concept for THE WORLD in a place that wasn’t so attached to album sales and reception, and thus created a ‘soft’ introduction to the concept for the fandom - by the time THE WORLD came around, we were already exposed and used to this concept, so it didn’t bother anyone even though it was quite a big change. 
‘Deja Vu’ used a sci-fi aesthetic and concept which didn’t fit the rest of FEVER era. Although it had relevance to the storyline of that era, it also eased ATINY and the general kpop community further into the new concept. 
Fever eXtended edition which reintroduced the Guardians and ATEEZ’s hideout.
‘Don’t Stop’ was the final nail in the coffin of the immortal vampire who will rise from the dead. It rehashed the heist concept from RHYTHM TA, and the long-term exposure over more than a year to all of these concepts made sure that when the final change came around, no one was really surprised. 
Interestingly, this album is the start of a new series, but doesn’t include an intro track - PROPAGANDA serves this purpose, but isn’t labelled as one, and thus, to me doesn’t really count. Now, this is when I get speculative.
We had TREASURE - and there was a mysterious ‘hala’ version of ATEEZ. And then we had FEVER, which I and many others thought must have been HALAteez, but there are indications (such as HALAteez appearing separately in the diary film and ‘Deja Vu,’ and in the Diary entries) that suggest that FEVERteez are separate from HALAteez. And, yes, in a few years I may look stupid for suggesting this, but I think it’s very possible that HALAteez are the ATEEZ in THE WORLD. I have a few reasons, and some are considerably better than others. Why don’t we start with the most stupid.
‘THE WORLDTEEZ’ doesn’t sound very good. But we don’t need to call then THE WORLDTEEZ, because we already know their name - it’s HALATEEZ. 
Similarly, why do we need an intro track to introduce us to this new group when we already know so much about them from KINGDOM, TREASURE and FEVER?
The actions of the Black Pirates described in the Diary entries, such as appearing and giving flyers against the government to civilians, are done in THE WORLD. 
The Guardians first appeared with HALAteez.
We already know that THE WORLD ATEEZ hide their identities often with masks and other things, which is a HALAteez motif. 
Speaking of, in RHYTHM TA, which is literally THE WORLD, Hongjoong was putting on his black pirate hat as he stole the Cromer at the end of the stage - he was literally transforming into a black pirate, but was still the same person. 
But either way, and as much as this is the direction I neither wanted or expected, I think this worked out well for them, and I tentatively (with no further information and material other than the album, will say that it was the logical next step in their storyline).
Quality of the album
Why do I keep including this segment? We all know that ATEEZ’s albums have great quality and production values, and make their often limited budget go far. And this one was no different. I would say that the performances and styling were hampered a bit (or in the case of the styling, a lot) by the world tour they were in the middle of, and it doesn’t take a degree in anything to know that ATEEZ are once again overworked. And as much as I wish that wasn’t the case, in the end, it is something they discuss with their company, and, either way, they are killing it. 
Conclusions
ATEEZ are reaching their Divergent era. And I don’t know how to feel about that. On the bright side, they’ve created a much more compelling story than Divergent, so I suppose we should be grateful for that.

Hey. Hey guys. What if I posted a teaser for the sapphic senate monster hunter au—
There was a monster in Hawkins.
At the very least, that was the rumor after a gruesome string of murders had happened with no evidence of who had committed the crime. Police were torn between the murderer being human or animal. The bodies were torn apart, but it was almost methodical.
Nancy Wheeler knew exactly what it was. It was why she was back in Hawkins, after all. After watching Barbara die under the claws of a rabid werewolf, Nancy decided to hunt down every single thing that went bump in the night. Everything about this case screamed werewolf.
Nancy especially hated werewolves.
So Nancy was back in Hawkins, under the guise of a reporter gathering information on the small town’s tragedies, especially the recent murders. But her investigative skills were being used less to sniff out a story and more to sniff out the beast she was going to put down.
Not one more person was going to die under her watch. The old silver friendship necklace that she always wore was reminder that too many good people had been lost to monsters and creatures of night.
___
There was a monster in Hawkins.
Robin knew this because it had become the very bane of her existence. Being a werewolf was hard enough as it is without other werewolves trying to expose her existence and start a manhunt.
She knew it wasn’t always intentional—the wolf instinct was incredibly hard to control, and even she struggled at times. But this was intentional. She had read the reports about the bodies. It was almost ritualistic, these killings. If the wrong person saw something on the full moon, they might think she was behind it. She and Steve had talked about it enough.
So when Nancy Wheeler, Robin’s ex classmate turned famed monster hunter, showed up in town, Robin knew she was completely and totally fucked.
She could only hope that Nancy would quietly take down the killer without ever finding out her own dirty little secret.
___
There was a monster in Hawkins.
Vickie had seen quite a few crazy things in the last few years, practically thrown into the supernatural world when her college friends summoned a spirit, and then she saw a wolf that definitely wasn’t really a wolf just months later. With little else to do and friends (see: Chrissy Cunningham) to protect, she had decided to try to hunt the beast down. How hard could it be?
Okay, well, pretty hard actually. The monster was certainly incredibly dangerous, and she knew basically nothing about it.
The redhead had picked up on the fact that this was no human killer, that much was known. She had seen photographs of the crime scenes, but she really had no idea where to start.
The library seemed a safe bet, so Vickie took her notebook and started her research.
___
There was a monster in Hawkins.
Chrissy wasn’t really sure what to do about that, but it had her worried. Robin and Eddie had already spoken their fears about the creature and the guests it was drawing into town.
Frankly, Chrissy wasn’t sure she believed everything she heard about Nancy Wheeler. She remembered the girl from high school, Hawkins’ queen bee and known priss. She was a goody two shoes with a 4.0 and far too many extracurriculars. There was no way she had taken up monster slaying as a pastime.
Well, okay, maybe she shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Chrissy had been a popular girl with good grades too, pretty, sociable, and captain of the cheer team—but now she was a tattoo artist and a skilled witch, among other things, so she really didn’t have much room to talk.
Maybe she should worry more about Nancy Wheeler.

vampire fic made me realize i never commented about ghost jon so i'm gonna use your askbox to avoid the energy cost of swapping sites. I! have been thinking! about jon curled up in his sad lil corner ever since i read it. Also thinking about a variety of one shots and aus related to it. what if elias DID get jon a lil friend or marry him or etc etc. About Jon being dropped on the hard cold floor when he's so desperately sick and seeing elias walk away and leave him in the dark AGAIN. it made me fully cry, tears running down my cheeks, as your work so often does
(ghost jon context)
i am so glad you brought up elias leaving jon to die alone because that was my favorite part of the whole thing. i rearranged the whole story like twenty times trying to figure out the right time to reveal that detail, and I'm really proud of how it turned out where jon is thinking about it constantly but the reader doesn't find out until he's deep in the revenge 🔪🔪🔪
that scene also made all of elias' whole deal so funny to write. man could have easily avoided the whole haunting if he had simply stayed with jon (or even just left him alone in the comfy bed!) instead of being The Worst
elias in general was really fun to write in the fic ESPECIALLY with his lil fantasies about marrying jon and moving to some picturesque cabin somewhere. elias literally all of your friends and business partners know jon as a) your nephew and b) EXTREMELY mentally ill. like. i think someone would have objections, or at least questions??? idk maybe it would be an "official-in-elias'-mind" marriage where there are no witnesses or officiant or documentation, but we're married now trust me <3
thinking about jon as a tragic ghost is making me want to get the olivepilogue finished (fingers crossed for halloween??) but as a teaser here's the blog post gerry wrote after his interview with elias (under a cut because it's p long):
On June 5, in a series of events that I'm sure my readers are by now very familiar with, Elias Bouchard turned himself into the police for the crime of kidnapping, falsely imprisoning, and eventually murdering Jonathan Sims.
On June 6, Jonathan's remains were recovered from the Bouchard estate and taken to Westlake Mortuary Services for cremation. Westlake is a mortuary company that specializes in identifying psychic activity in their deceased clients, and every member of their staff is a certified medium. In their official report, they found no unexplained psychic activity or spiritual manifestations, and Jonathan was officially ruled a departed spirit.
Because of that, none of the journalistic coverage of the Elias Bouchard trial has made any attempt to contact or interview Jonathan, despite substantial evidence that Bouchard experienced psychic activity in the months after Jonathan's death.
On July 1, I obtained an interview with Bouchard. However, if you're looking for more juicy insights into the leech, you'd be better off checking the tabloids. My purpose in going was to look for signs that Jonathan is not departed at all, and after my experience, I can say with absolute certainty that Jonathan is very much still here.
Before all the skeptics jump down my throat, I know better than anyone that being clairvoyant is not the same as being a true medium. I'm not claiming to have spoken to Jonathan. I do, however, have an eye for psychic activity and spiritual anomalies, and Jonathan was making no attempts to hide his presence. He spent most of the interview leaning over my shoulder, presumably looking at my notepad. I felt his mood lighten whenever I said something rude to Elias, and I felt him darken at times when Elias said things I can only assume he disagrees with. When my interview ended (early, because apparently Bouchard is the easily-offended sort), Jonathan followed me all the way to the door.
I don't know if he heard me, or even knew I was speaking to him, but I told him to keep up the good work.
Manifesting a haunting is no easy task for a spirit. From this side of the veil, it seems like the simplest thing in the world—wouldn’t we all choose to keep living, rather than die? It’s important to remember that the dead belong to the beyond. The moment you die, your soul, your very essence, longs to be gone, longs to rest.
Imagine you’ve been awake for forty-eight hours straight. Finally, you’ve lain down in bed, beneath your most comfortable blankets. Your white noise machine is playing soothing ocean sounds, and just keeping your eyes open feels like a monumental effort. Is there anything that could pull you away from your rest?
Now imagine you’ve spent the past four years being tortured by a psychopath. You’ve long since given up on rescue or escape; it’s all you can do to make it through every day with your mind halfway intact. Then, finally, for the first time in four years, the pain ends. You don’t hurt, you aren’t trapped, and your tormentor is far away.
Would you go back?
I am so sick of the narrative everyone seems to agree upon that paints Jonathan as a tragic, helpless victim of a monstrous man. All of these articles and podcasts and numbered-list breakdowns of the evidence stacking up against Elias Bouchard treat Jonathan like his imprisonment and death were an inevitability of the kind of person he was.
At the time of his kidnapping, Jonathan was taking a semester break from working on his Master's degree. According to his academic advisor, he'd taken time off for his mental health. The rigor of the program was causing him considerable stress.
I keep seeing this fact brought up in articles about Bouchard. If I were being generous, I would say that the authors of those articles were trying to humanize Jonathan, to make the audience see him as a real person instead of an abstract. But I'm not being generous. Over and over again, Jonathan's mental health issues are at best held up as potential reasons he was particularly vulnerable to attack. At worst, they are used to explain why he never managed to escape in four years of imprisonment (as if Bouchard hasn’t admitted that Jonathan tried to escape multiple times).
Of course, it isn't just Jon's leave of absence that gets utilized in this way. It's every goddamn thing about him. It's statements from his ex-landlord saying that Jonathan always seemed a bit nervous when putting in work orders and his ex-boss saying that she tended to worry about him because he struck her as a bit naive. It's quotes from Elias fucking Bouchard himself saying that Jonathan was simply "an easy target."
Well, thank god the rest of us aren't easy targets!
This systematic evisceration of Jonathan's agency makes me furious. Jonathan could have left this plane as soon as he died, and none of us would have known what happened to him. Elias Bouchard would not be facing trial; he would still be living it up in his lavish estate, feeling absolutely no guilt for the things he's done.
Maybe he'd even have found another "easy target" by now.
But Jonathan stayed. He stayed, and he made sure that Elias Bouchard paid for his crimes. He made sure that we learned the truth. He made sure that justice was served.
This story is a tragedy, not because Jonathan could do nothing to fight against Elias, but because he fought with everything he had and it wasn't enough to save him. Jonathan died, and then he kept fighting anyway.
Just one more thing before I sign off:
I hope that fucker rots in prison.

Kardeşlerim Ep 117
Aisye wanted to tell Omer about the video but on her way back home, Asiye and Ayaz got shot by the guy they reported to the police. They were taken to the hospital. Ayaz survived but Asiye didn't.
Orhan met a woman called Ayten at the supermarket. Turns out he knows her. She said Orhan is her first love. He asked her how she was doing. She said that she got married to a man who had two kids but then got a divorce. She has a daughter but that daughter is not her husband's daughter. She was already pregnant when she got married and her ex-husband knew about this and agreed to adopt her daughter. Her daughter found out the truth and insisted that she wanted to look for her real father. Orhan asked her if she found her father and Ayten said that she did and he is standing in front of her. So long story short, Orhan has a child with another woman he didn't know about, Aybike and Oglucan have a sister and probably a new step mom. Their sister’s name is Cansu (pronounced jansou). Let’s see what the purpose of this plot will be. We don’t know what kind of person Ayten is. The way she told Orhan he is the father was creepy tbh. I am not getting good vibes from her. I don’t know if Oglucan and especially Aybike will accept their sister. Could the sister be involved with Ayber? They are not writing anything for them lately and when they have nothing to write, they just shove an unnecessary love triangle into the plot. Plus, the only prolonged love triangle Ayber was involved in was for Aybike (someone had feelings for her), maybe this time it will be Berk’s turn to have someone like him. Maybe Ayten won’t like the fact that Aybike is dating a “rich” guy and will cause problems for her. We don’t know how this woman feels about Sengul. She said Orhan was her first love so I imagine she doesn’t like Sengul and therefore won’t like her children. This plot better be useful to Ayber's story or istg 😭😭
Gokhan managed to convince Berk again that Ayla was lying. Ayla didn’t go back to her house and went to Nebehat again. At the restaurant, Ayla told Nebehat how Gokhan managed to manipulate Berk again. Nebehat told her to record him confessing to gambling and lying to Berk and to make Berk listen to the recording. However, Gokhan caught her trying to record him. I think she should just start recording her whole day in case he comes to her and confesses everything. Her mistake was going to him first and telling him to forget about their past and starting over. It was so obvious, she should’ve let him come to her and then record him.
The teaser didn’t show much. Everyone was at the Eren’s house celebrating Emel’s birthday.
