Addicted to You

two - after hours

TW/ mentions of sex

As much as Sulli loved her coworkers and mentors, having a drink with them after the most stressful shift she's endured at the clinic was not on her to-do list. Kaycee still had over an hour left on her shift, the one person she can drink with and not just talk about work and the events of the day.

Sullis' eyes scanned the bustling bar as Marion went on and on about a bunny that had been brought in for routine checkup. As soon as she recognized the one person who could keep her busy and help her unwind, she apologised to the older veterinarian and excused herself .

“Brady!” She called his name, bidding goodbye to her coworkers as she waved at the bronzed boy.

“Hey, Sulli.” He smiled down at her as she skipped up to him with a flirtatious smile.

“I’ve missed you.” She teased lightheartedly.

“I’ve been busy with work.” He said with a sigh. She wasn’t surprised that that's where he had disappeared to. Collin had been absent for a while as well, according to Kaycee.

“Too busy it seems.” She beamed, wrapping her arms around his waist in a hug as she mumbled against his chest. “We got some lost time to make up for.”

He smirked slightly before it fell off of his face completely. She could practically see the wheels turning in his head as he figured out his next move.

“Are you feeling alright?” She asked genuinely concerned. He wasn’t acting like the Brady she had come to know. The Brady that had a charmed her within the first ten minutes of meeting. The one that had pulled her into the bathroom of the club they were at for Kaycees birthday with such confidence and turned her legs to jello.

“Yeah, I just…don’t think we should do this anymore.” Brady scratched them back of his neck, a nervous tick.

“Do what? We’re just friends..” She asked, cocking her eyebrow as she dropped her arms, folding them over her chest.

He tilted his head like a puppy, “You know what I mean.”

She wanted to laugh, its not like they were never going to see each other again, it was impossible giving how glued together Collin and Kaycee were, “You don’t want to fuck me is what you’re saying, thats fine. Look around, Brady, theres plenty of guys in this room for me to fuck. But you’re my best friend's boyfriend's best friend,”

Brady sighed, taking a step back from her and unable to maintain eye contact,“You don’t get it, I’ve been told to stay away from you.”

“You’ve been told.” She narrowed her eyes, not liking where this was headed, “By who?”

“It doesn’t matter.” He shook his head, giving her a small smile marred by an apologetic gaze, “I’m sure I’ll see you around.”

“Brady,” She called after him, but he didn’t even glance back.

Sulli watched as he walked back over to a group of men and slid into the booth. Her eyes scanned the group, they all looked so familiar. She landed on one in particular and her stomach dropped, his dark features prominent, he had barely aged from the last time she saw him, but everything about him seemed more mature. She looked from Paul to Brady and everything clicked.

She glared at the older one.

Paul's eyes flitted away from hers for a second as the man next to him said something that she couldn’t hear, before he was looking at her again, an unreadable expression on his face.

Just like that, her night was ruined.

That familiar feeling of betrayal set in from the last time she was with him slowly turned into rage, simmering within her.

He was playing with fire considering she knew his deepest secret, and now Brady and Collins.

If this had happened four years ago when she had nothing to lose, she would’ve let that wolf out of the bag. But now, she had a future to look forward to, and she was not going to ruin it on him.

He would just call her crazy, tell everyone that she made it up.

As if he didn’t physically show her.

She had been sitting there on Sue Clearwaters porch with her daughter in the middle of the night, as he shifted in right in front of her. Paul had told her between the stupid dreamer catcher he had given her and him being a wolf, she would always be safe.

What a load of shit, especially considering where she ended up less than a week later.

Shipped off to the first of many foster homes after they couldn't track down her mom. Julie, her social worker, had said the family was nice and welcoming, all that blew up in both their faces once the husband, Mo, found out Sullivan was a unisex name.

The foster son they thought they were getting didn’t exist, instead they got Sulli.

She never knew what utter hate felt like until Julie left her on the stairs of her new foster family's home, alone and afraid. Paul was nowhere to be found.

She turned to the bartender, quickly flagging him down to order another drink just as someone saddled in next to her. A deep voice chuckled as he spoke, “I know that guy wasn’t stupid enough to walk away from you.”

“Can’t win them all.” She muttered, taking money out of her purse to pay for her drink.

“It’s on me.” he said as he stopped her, placing a twenty dollar bill on the bar top for the bartender. Sulli muttered a thanks just as he asked, “What's your name?”

“Sulli.” She mumbled, more interested in the drink that had been placed in front of her than trying to catch his name.

“You look great. I just know what's under your little dress looks even better.” He shamelessly flirted.

“You’re not wrong, it's just not for you.” Sulli stated, turning to lean against the bar, getting a better look at the man next her. His dirty blonde hair nearly glowed in the dim atmosphere, he was clean shaving, not too muscular but it worked for him. She liked his height, the difference between them not neck breaking, but just enough. He seemed like a good boy, not exactly her type, but she wasn't one to shy away from a challenge.

“No?” He asked with a raised eyebrow, “Not even for one night?”

Her weak spot. One night stands were an addiction of sorts, one night of fun and then pretending like it never happened the next morning. A way to move on from Brady had just fallen into her lap. She pondered his offer, glancing over at the booth of over sized men. She could make out Paul glaring at the glass of amber liquid in front of him, not listening to his friends, no, he was listening to her conversation with that stupid wolf hearing of his. while she welcomed it in the the nights she had couldn't sleep when she was ten, she was going to use it to her own advantage now.

“What's in it for me?” She asked knowingly.

“Come back to my place and find out.” He murmured confidently. She bit her lip as his fingers pulled up the side of her dress teasing the skin on her thigh. The goosebumps on her arms were a dead giveaway of her arousal. Assuming her nameless companion was any good at picking up cues.

“I have an even better idea.” She smirked, grabbing his hand and slid its way under the skirt of her dress and tugging him along behind her. It was a petty thing, the decision to lead him to the mens bathroom, rather than take up his offer of going home with him, solely because they needed to pass Brady.

As they did, she sent him a wink, to which he frowned. His loss is another man's opportunity.

Even pettier, was the fact that Paul, who had decided to take it upon himself to ruin not only her situationship, but also her friendship with Brady, was in a close enough distance to where they were headed, that his little wolf ears would pick up every moan and groan. Why would he want her fucking his friend when she could just fuck a stranger? Great thinking, Paul, she thought as she locked the door of the bathroom stall and turned to her new friend with a flirty smile.

-----

After cleaning herself up in the women's bathroom as best she could, Sulli beelined it for the exit. Hoping her male companion wasn’t up for a round two, she sure was not. She looked at the time on her phone and quickly sent a message to Kaycee, asking for a ride as she knew she would be getting off work at any moment, and Sulli needed to vent.

“Sulli,” Paul said gruffly as soon she rounded the corner of the door.

“Sullivan.” She corrected him, stopping as he blocked her path, “Only my friends get to call me Sulli.”

“We’re not friends anymore?” He asked innocently, and the rage that had been simmering all night began to brew.

“What do you want?” She retorted, on the verge of losing her patience.

“You’re playing a dangerous game in there.” Paul warned her, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Now you care about my safety?” She snapped, taking a step towards him, close enough to feel the heat emitting off of his skin and to breathe in his scent. It's still the same, like sandalwood and cinnamon, and that makes her seethe. “Or are you just jealous?” She asked, batting her eyelashes up at him, her lips spreading into a grin as she watched him visibly swallow. He was nervous and she revelled in it.

“That's why you told Brady to stay away from me, isn’t it?” She hummed smugly as he refused to answer, “Hope you enjoyed listening. See you never, Paul.”

Paul chuckled darkly, “Thats why you fucked that loser? You wanted me to listen.” He goaded, licking his lips before clicking his tongue against his teeth in disapproval, “That’s kinky.”

She narrowed her eyes, “Says the guy who stuck around to listen to a girl eight years younger than him moan to another guys--”

“Paul!” Brady and another man who resembled him stood at the corner of the bar, waiting for him, “We’ve got to go.”

“Time for you to go howl at the moon.” She said mockingly.

“Wait,” Paul stopped her, gripping her arm firmly. The heat was familiar, he was just as warm as Brady was. It should have clicked the first night she spent tangled underneath the younger man, but it didn’t. It made her want him more. Sulli wrenched her arm from his grasp, and he clenched his jaw at the action before starting to ask,“Have you--”

“No, I haven't told anyone you’re secretly a furry.” She quipped, smiling sweetly as she said, “The biggest kink of them all.”

“Funny.” He muttered, though he didn't smile. She wasn’t sure if he knew how to smile considering his face was in the same stoic expression it was when she clocked him from across the bar. Paul ran his hand through his hair before asking, “Do you need a ride home?”

“Not a chance in hell.” Sulli scoffed, “I’d fuck an Uber driver for a free ride before I ever got into a car with you.”

“Sulli!” She heard her name being called. She knew the voice well and turned to look at the parking lot, seeing Kaycee wave from inside her car.

“Have a nice night.” She said, bristling with annoyance from the man beside her. She did not spare him another glance as she walked over to Kaycee’s now parked car. She knew her friend had just gotten off of work, and was thankful Collin hadn’t made an appearance tonight, allowing her to leave with her friend freely. “There's my DD.”

“You look like you had a fun night,” Kaycee whistled at her appearance before looking behind her and asking “Where's Brady?”

Sulli frowned at the question, responding with bitter honesty, “Brady and I are no more. Your boyfriend's best friend has zero balls.”

“Did you fuck that guy whos currently watching you like a hawk?” Kaycee asked, nudging her head back to where Paul stood.

She barked out a laugh, “He wishes. He's the one who neutered Brady,”

“Well, he's hot as hell.” Her friend noted innocently. Sulli had never told her about her time with the Clearwaters, or that Paul had broken her trust at the ripe young age of eleven. He was a liar, and that's all he’ll ever be to her. No amount of hotness will change that. “Get on him.”

“He’s a tool.” She muttered, getting into the passenger seat of Kaycees car. She looked out the side view mirror and watched as Paul jogged off towards a waiting Brady, the other man nowhere to be seen.

@ghostgeno tagged me on this!! thank you 🫶

Tell me about:

1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey

so I dont think there was one singular thing. to sum up my hockey origin story, it's that me and @nbl-str-nvs were lamenting the state of f1 at the end of the 2022 season, and decided to jump ship to hockey together; so I started watching habs games and just really enjoyed it... (it was not my first exposure to hockey obviously, being from where I'm from, but that's when I actually got into it)

2. Your first ever fandom friend

rayleene @nicohischier!!! it was during the playoffs, I was confused about empty netting, so I asked under one of her posts, she dmed me, and it went from there 😭 she was my first hockey mentor (person who explained lore and rulestuff to me)

3. The jersey you would most like to own

I dont have any that comes to mind that I actually Want but I gotta say that the yotes jersey FUCKS. we need more of that.

4. YOUR player (you only get ONE so choose wisely)

you would THINK I'd say connor mcdavid here bc I'm so crazyinsane about him. or david reinbacher, who is literally my url. but NO! it's rafaël harvey-pinard. my #1 underrated guy. I love him dearly.

5. A pairing that deserves more fic

ummmm uh. honestly not a pairing type of guy. I only have 2 ships and I dont really read much hrpf these days lol

6. Your favourite on-ice moment

I'm a simple guy. I see capt nick suzuki and cole caufield hugging on the ice. I am happy.

THEN

link someone else's art/fic/etc that you love & think everyone should check out

theres literally not a single thing that I will recommend more than scheherazade. go read that 👉

I see all these will sonny Paul stuff on your blog and have no idea what happened. What’s the story there? Who’s who? Who forgot about who? I’m sorry this is just me being so confused! X

Welcome to a crash course in gays of our lives anon [because days doesnt know what a bisexual is or a wlw tbh]

also NEVER APOLOGIZE i love talking about Paul and Will and sometimes Sonny.

Will is the blond man, Paul is the Asian man, and Sonny is obviously the remaining man.

Will and Sonny were the big ship back in the day and represented a lot of firsts in terms of queer rep in daytime soaps. And for the most part they had a pretty good relationship [theres the whole Will not coming out right away and managing to knock up Gabi thing but ultimately their trio parenting is very cute and I like their family so \ o/ ]

Now Chandler [the blond man in all the gifs i reblogged] decided to leave and they recasted the character. It was... a choice that some liked and some didnt. I didnt really have strong feelings on it because I barely watched at that time and I never really cared about Wilson all that much.

But you see days is a soap that LIVES on love triangles [if you dont have some sort of relationship drama youre probably only gonna be on screen one day a week tbh] and so eventually they brought in Paul.

I am very Paul biased and I aint sorry about it.

Paul was introduced as a closeted major league baseball player in Salem for a fancy surgery and we eventually found out he was [in a retcon i believe] Sonnys first love but they broke up cuz he wouldnt come out etc etc. It caused some drama llama because days is gonna days.

Eventually Will banged Paul for the scoop story on him being a gay man and cheated on Sonny to do so and then when Sonny and Will were i think broken up and definitely not in a good place period the show decided “lets murder will and let the viewers see it from his POV”

It did not go over well. Like not even with just fandom it went over bad everywhere because Will was a legacy character people watched grow up and is a child of two of the most important families in Days history and it was... the worst. just a dumb dumb thing [side note he was kinda murdered by Ben, current days heartthrob fgdsdsgdf]

So in the wake of that Paulson rose from dead Wilson ashes. And people loved it! Like ok sure not all wilson fans loved it because shippers and monoshipping but the general audience loved the the sl and Paul.

It lasted ... years. like the build to them getting married was LONG.

And then we found out Chandler was coming back because the only thing days loves more than love triangles is bringing someone back from the dead. So surprise Ben didnt actually kill will because a magic days potion thing saved him? just made him seem dead? idk its confusing.

Ben crashed a wedding and yelled about Will being alive and even tho Wilson weren't even together when Will died and we’d spent years now watching Sonny fall big time loe in love with Paul the SECOND he heard Will was alive it was like Paul whomst?

A buncha angst happened, paul looked sad alot, and they found Will alive only Will thought he was EJ [his step dad, its a long story] and had no memories of anyone. People convinced him to move back to Salem and to try and remember and in a big ass disservice to Sonnys character the writers made him a lil turd bucket who dumps Paul and then just sorta assumed him and Will will be together.

Except amnesia Will had only one goal in his newly discovered new/oldlife: to get smashed into next year by beautiful Paul.

This man literally divorced [idk how you need to get divorced when youve been declared legally dead and Sonny was literally about to get married a few weeks prior but whatever days you do you] sonny for a CHANCE at that sweet sweet paul action.

Paul was VERY hesitent about Will because he still loved Sonny and even if Sonny didnt want to be with him he didnt want to hurt Sonny. IMO the writing for Sonny here is awful tbh and they made him both way to aggressive in his attempts to be with Will and cold in his treatment of Paul. It was like a light switch got flipped from “loves paul” to “loves will” and there was no inbetween [this is an issue they duplicated with Will months later and it was imo just as poorly done]

What came next was Paul and Will growing closer and fallin in love and I WOULD LITERALLY DIE FOR THEM but like even the most diehard horita shipper knew that eventually will x sonny would happen.

And not too long after Will and Paul shared the i love yous and basically moved in together etc etc Will started his journey of recovering his memories and Paul was CLEARLY nervous about it but supportive and helpful because hes just a soft good human tbh and Will repeatedly told him nothing would change [but we knew rip]

Except as soon as Will got his full memories back he had that light switch flip himself and literally seconds after having memories back was like “time to dump paul“

except dumbass paul with a heart of gold literally tackled someone out a window of a mansion to save Wills mom from being hurt and ended up paralyzed because apparently days only knows how to write men of color out by paralyzing them [ because they LITERALLY just did this exact exit with another character not even a year before this but i digress] so Will felt guilty and stayed with Paul, though not too guilty because he kept making out with Sonny in public places and getting reamed for it by Pauls brother Brady.

Then Paul ... figured it out? Or Will finally fessed up I cant really remember tbh I sorta blocked it out because it was ...not well written. Anyways they broke up and literally a day later Paul was like ok bye dad and brother im moving back to san fran for fancy medical treatment see ya whenever and just left lmao without even saying goodbye to anyone else.

and now we’re at the point where days clearly has no idea what to do with only 2 gay men and no triangle because all they've done since Paul left is that Sonny was blackmailed into marrying guest character Leo, also a gay man, who they thought they’d killed months before [and paul helped them cover up I believe because he's perfect] but surprise you didnt and now you gotta be married and stay apart because... reasons.

And then Leo finally left and they were free of that only now Will has a brain tumor as a side effect form the magic serum stuff that gave him his memories back but they’re only ever on like one day a week and I gotta be honest its so boring anon.

I miss Paul and also Will's personality and I wish they’d both come back.

and that’s what you missed on glee.

Paul Lahote - Finding Home

Paul Lahote ×OC

(the wolves are actual wolves and not the animated from the film, these are more realistic)

(In this one Jacob did not imprint on Nessie. Instead the Wolfpack and Cullens came to an agreement and also another wolf, that's not from the Wolfpack, has imprinted on her, just so theres no confusion.)

PART 10: The Treaty

NOVAS POV

The next day Paul picks me, Seth and Embry up from school. As spoken of yesterday, we are on our way to the border to have said meeting with the Cullens. Whilst I jump into the front seat of the car Seth and Embry take a seat behind us. Both Seth and Embry speak a brotherly hi to Paul whilst I notice Paul's a little bit out of thought, not responding to any of our greetings. Just by looking at him I notice how tense he is, making me imedietly put my hand on top of his that's placed in his lap.

"Are you okay?" I ask, looking straight at him as he looks back into my eyes with uncertainty. He breathes out and shortly shakes his head, giving me a sad look while doing so. "I'm just worried I guess. Knowing all of them will see you and meet you, they will probably like your smell and looks. In difference from the other imprints you have a different feature, including the way you talk. The will be interested in that and Im just worried they will try to separate you from me. Even if they seem nice they are nothing but predators preying on innocent creatures, including humans" He says with a worried, concerned tone placing my both hands in both of his, holding them tight. I nod understandingly at his words, understanding that this probably has been nagging him all day.

"Paul they haven't harmed anyone for centuries, even less so a human of sort." Seth says defending the Cullens siting behind my back as Paul imedietly turn his gaze from my face to Seth's shy form. Paul snarls at his pack mate, making me imedietly understanding the seriousness of the situation. Quickly I place both my hands on Paul's face, trying to take his attention from Seths words back to me.

"They even hurt fucking Bella, Edward's mate just because one of them couldn't handle a paper cut on her finger. So don't come and tell me they wouldnt do the exact same thing to Nova if they did get the chance." Paul growls at his brother as I repetietly start saying Paul's name, not soon enough making Paul focus back at me. Embry sits behind Paul ready to drag out a wolf or two as both Paul but also Seth is shaking, probably out of different reasons.

"Paul don't fight your brother, he has said nothing wrong and ofcourse I will not let them get to me. I'm your imprint and not theirs. Or their friend for that matter. Don't worry, calm down baby, I'm not going anywhere." I calmingly say to Paul as he takes big breaths in order to calm himself. His eyes are closed, making me feel unsure as if I should keep my hands on his face, mostly because he seems so unsure of what to do with himself right now. But soon he still leans into my embrance opening his eyes again, also calming me as he sends me a apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry Seth, I didn't mean to yell at you. I've been worried all day, wondering what they will think of her. I'm hating that they even get to see Nova in the first place, cuz if it weren't for them we wouldn't have to be this cautios in the first place." He sighs holding my hands in his placing gentle kisses into my palms before turning to Seth who already faces him.

"Don't worry Paul, I understand. I would also be as worried as you are if my imprint were to meet with vampires I didnt trust." He explains as Paul nods agreeingly.

"Yeah, and since we are already late I suggest I start driving. I just got to say a proper hi to my baby first" Paul says turning back to me, leaning over his seat into mine to giving me a long wet kiss that makes the guys in the back sigh and me laugh into the loving gesture.

"Hi to you too baby. Let's go before we get there too late." I smile as he give me one last short kiss on my mouth. As we separate he gives me one of his sexy smiles while licking his lips that just makes my stomach flutter.

"Let's go and meet some leetches"

As Paul is stil parking the car, Seth and Embry jumps out of it. Whilst Seth seems to wait for me and Paul, Embry phases, giving us a quick look before running into the forest to meet up with the rest of the pack. Paul then easily unbuckles both mine and his own belts, surprising me as I just realise what we are about to do.

"Wait, how are you gonna take me there now that we don't have the car?"I ask turning to him already knowing the answer. He holds my hand in his, stroking it calmingly as he answers.

"I guess you are gonna have to ride on my back, if you are okay with that?" He says unsurley of how I am gonna react as his eyes stays locked at the floor. Paul scratches his neck with his empty hand before looking back up at me. I nod agreeingly, still processing the whole thing.

"Yes I guess it's fine I just didn't.. Expect it would ever happen. But sure, sure. Let's do it."I answer smilingly making him smile before both of us jump out of the car.

Stepping out of the car Seth then shifts infrot of our very eyes, chocking me a little since I've only seen Paul in wolfform this upfront before. Just like Paul he has a greyish type of fur, but Seth's is more brown/dark toned. Whilst Seth slowly walks up to me, letting me pet him, Paul starts to undress before throwing both his shirt and pants into a nearby bush. Then I realise he stands maybe a few inches away from us almost naked, making my cheeks turn red as i focus entirely on Seth's incredibly soft fur to not get even more embarrassed with my own dirty thoughts spreading through my mind like a fire in a forest.

After Paul has phased, he walks over to where Seth and I stands, almost pushing away his brother to take back my focus to him from his younger packmate. I laugh at the sudden motion, getting a even wider grin on my face when Seth starts whining since he now couldnt get anymore pets from me. Paul let's out a sound that only could be described as a 'Thats right' to Seth, learning him who's imprint it's actually is. At that I laugh too.

"Come on Paul, I can pet him too" I speak as Paul just breathes out in my face, probably as an answer of no, before pulling me even closer with his giant paw placed on my back. It's almost like we are hugging when he places his very heavy head as much as possible on my not so strong shoulder so that his fur caresses against the side of my face and neck. I reach my arms around him as much as I can, my arms almost imedietly disappearing into his thick fur. He then does something I didn't even know they could do, he starts purring.

You heard right. He purrs. And just like that reality hits me, that all of this is real and in a even more surreal manner, I am about to meet my own doctor, and his family who's all vampires.

After standing like that for a moment, just enjoying each other's presence, I simply let go of Paul, only to hear another whine, but from Paul this time as I smilingly shake my head looking up at Paul's eyes, meeting a loving gaze. He then looks over at Seth, communicating trough their minds before looking back at me, now with a more serious look on his face. Since Paul and I always need to have some type of psychical contact, I let my hands gently caress the fur that I reach whilst they talk to eachother, just about where his cheek would have been if he would have been human. And even tho he's maybe 3 feet taller then me, he gently closes his eyes for a second, like a small puppy getting petted by his owner. And maybe at this moment he is just as me wishing we wouldn't have to do this in the first place.

Then I nod, understanding what they were taking about without even having to mention it. Getting a nod back from him as he turns back around, he then crouches. I walk slowly up to him before gently placing myself on his back, with a little help from Seth who pushes my unsteady ass up Paul's back. And then we're off.

I can feel Paul running a little bit slower then he usually would have, and also much more gentle. Especially since Seth splashes in any puddle he sees whilst Paul runs around it, jumping and swinging with his wolf shaped like body as little as he can.

When we arrive everyone is there, waiting. I can feel the vampires watch me with interested eyes, and even Carlisle seems interested in my appearance. Since Paul is third in command, I am placed between Sam and Paul, with Jacob, Quil, Leah and Seth on Paul's side and Jared, Embry and Collin and Brady on Sam's side. Sam is the only one in human form, probably so I feel less alone as the only human. Carlisle starts.

"Good day, Sam, Nova, and the rest of the pack. Before we start I would like to introduce my family to your newest packmember, is that okay?" Carlisle asks with a nice, genuine tone. Since Carlisle already looks at me, Sam turns to me too as I nod before mouthing my answer for the rest of the pack and the Cullens. Carlisle smiles.

"Very well. I just want to start with of saying that even tho you now know things about me and my family that you might not find so pleasant, i promise you that my family would never do anything to try and harm either you or the pack. We have a deal and I also find it morally wrong to hurt someone at all. That's why I am a doctor after all and after this meeting I would hope to see that you still have enough trust in me and my family to stay a patient of mine?" Carlisle speaks direct to me as if neither Paul or the rest of the pack was even there. Paul snarls at his words but gets ordered to back down by Sam. Soon I can feel Paul's soft fur brush against my own arm, knowing he craving some sort of contact to calm down. I answer.

"I don't think anything of you except for what I know. But I have chosen a side and it will always be with the wolves, but you are still my doctor yes. I need the treatment." I speak honestly, earning a sympthic look from the woman on his right. Carlisle seems to notice my curiosity about the other vampires almost imedietly and happily thanks for staying his patient before he starts to introduce his family.

"This is my wife Esme" He starts, putting his arm around the woman to his right. She smiles at me, waving as I wave back, not wanting to be rude. Her hair is dark brown and her eyes carries a golden tint, just like the rest of them. She's also very beautiful, just like the rest of them. It's almost as if you are not supposed to know what really lays behind the surface.

"And this is Emmett, with his wife Rosalie-" Carlisle speaks pointing at a very bulky man and a woman with beautiful golden hair. The man, Emmet waves at me as the woman, Rosalie just rolls her eyes. I nod, saying a short hello to both of them before he continues. "And then here we have Edward and Bella, but also their daughter Renesmee." Carlisle presents a family of three. The little girl smiles at me, carrying the same beautiful black hair as her mother whilst her dad has a reddish/blondish type of color in his. As I realise they are the ones Seth and Paul talked about in the car, I shiver at the thought of how Renesmee came to life and still can be alive, gaining a almost bewildered look from the man across the field, the dad whose eyes are now staring down my soul. Paul growls again, feeling the stare from Edwards eyes laying on top of me. I look down as some of the packmembers seems to talk to him through their mindlink. He places himself even closer to me, now close enough so that his furry side is pressed to my human. Carlisle keeps on going.

"And lastly but certainly not least, we have Alice and Jasper." He presents the last two vampires, and to be polite I smile at the girl with pixi hair and a shy smile placed on her lips. But the second our eyes meet her mouth turns straight and it's almost as she zooms out, seeing something. Jasper, the man next to her directly places his hands on her shoulders turning her so she faces him. He asks what is happening and what she sees but she doesnt answer.

A few moments later, Edward jumps in.

"She sees your future. It's amazing." He says just as shocked as the rest of them look. Even the wolf pack turn to stare back at little me. I frown.

"Thats not possible, you can't see the wolves future. Never have."I try, repeating what Paul had told me hours earlier by text. Alice gets back from her trance, looking back at me. Her mouth agape.

"He's so beautiful" She whisperes even tho all of us hear her clearly. Edward closes his eyes, focusing on something.

"Who?" Sam commands. Alice them turns to Paul, smiling.

"Don't worry. He's gonna have her eyes." She says smilingly to Paul while the rest of us still stand there like idiots. "Who are you talking about Alice?" I ask determinedly. She looks yet again back at me.

"Your son." And just like that, the whole forest turns quiet. The only thing i feel is my own beating heart, and the only thing I hear is Paul's heating heart. It can't be true, I shake my head.

"Impossible." I say. "You can't see the wolves future and even less so who's gonna have children and when"

"He's here in a year, I can even tell you his name if you dont believe me" She says taking a step forward, trying to interact but only gets a collective snarl from everyone in the pack. She directly takes her step back, hands in the air. Sam turns to me and Paul, unsure of how to act.

"You believe ve her?" I ask. But before he gets time to answer, Edward interrupts.

"She is telling the truth. And even tho we don't know how this is happening yet, I can see it too, a part atleast. It's almost like you are blocking me out. One second I can read your thoughts but the other I hear dead silence. Like NOW! Nothing" I shake my head. "I guess maybe I switch singnals, I don't know. Im not doing anything." I shrug my shoulders. Paul looks down at me with his beautiful darkbrown eyes, licking my face before lowering his head even more, to my stomach.

"We haven't even had sex yet." I whisper to him even tho I know everyone listens. He stands up straight again, facing me. The look I get is happiness, and love, as if even tho anything of it hasn't happened yet it is what he wants.

"He says it doesn't matter. He wants that future" Edward irritably peaks in as I give him one angry look. "Stop ruining our moment" I speak with a angry tone earning somewhat a collective laugh from everyone in the pack. Paul yet again licks my cheek and butts his head in a affectionate manner at my shoulder. I smile.

"Alright we'll talk more about this at home. We got other things to talk about now" I caress his big furry head one last time before Carlisle jumps in, continuing the meeting.

"Since Nova already is a patient of mine I see it as a duty for me, and my family to transport her safely through our land to the hospital and then back to your land when she is treated." Carlisle says as Sam nods in agreement. "This far we all agree. Nova needs to be transported by company at all times. We take no risk in her going alone." Sam answer before Carlisle continues.

"Ofcourse. We can also allow that someone follows through with her, as requested, but only one." The blond haired man carrying a jacket with a scarf on top and jeans says, making the majority of the pack snarl, the grupp of wolves disappointed in it only being one allowed to follow through when a imprint can be put at such risk.

Sam shakes his head.

"I want there to be atleast two the first three times. And if It all goes well by then, then we might consider a follower of one." Sam order's as Carlisle take a long look at both Edward but also Alice before they gather in a small circle quietly discussing the offer. I don't hear anything from it, but soon they turn towards us again, stand back to where they stood before with their mates.

"We accept the offer, but only if Renesmee is allowed to try her power on Nova. It won't hurt her, Nessie will just try to show her a mental picture." Edward speaks up, turning to his daughter. Renesmees gaze on the other hand is already laid on me, and unlike the rest of the coven she has brown eyes. Our eyes met and I nod, agreeingly. "Sure" I say. "Now?" Carlisle smiles at me. "If that's okay with you".

"Yes" I speak, hoping that Sam and Jake agrees to let me go, and as I take a step forward they don't protest, so I continue. But I only get to make two steps before Paul butts in.

When I try to take a stup further Paul stands himself infront of me, blocking the way. He growls at the cullens as I try to make my way around him. Then again, he blocks me from taking another step.

"Paul let her go. She's just gonna meet Renesmee." Sam order's as Paul meets his alphas gaze. He shakes his head, almost looking like he's about to go against his alphas order.

"He can go with her. We don't mind" Alice sweet almost pitchy voice catches the attention, surpricing not only the wolves but her own mate Jasper. Sam nods, motioning for us to walk over to them. Jasper disagrees.

"What, no. We need to keep a distance, Alice." He speaks determinedly mentioning towards Paul's defensive behavior and the fact that if someone in the pack attacks someone from the Cullens or vice versa there will be war. She shakes her head.

"He won't hurt anyone, as long as he gets to go with her." She speaks as if she let alone read his mind. Paul looks back at me, asking the silent question as I nod.

"Sure, if everyone's okey with it then?" I ask meeting Sam's approving gaze one last time before me and Paul slowly walks over to Renesmee, Bella and Edward. Once we are standing a few feet infrot of them, Renesmee leaves her safe place between her two parents, walking over to me with Paul standing protectively against my left side. Meeting her gaze she feels far more older then the age of her body, a soft look on her eyes even tho she's standing a few inches from a wolf who would tear her to shreds without a seconds doubt if she even took a step to close.

She reaches out with her 12 years old hand at us, in a quiet ask to hold my cheek. I nod, letting her place it on top of my cheek, crouching a little whilst doing so since she's shorter than I am.

She shows me her parents, Isabella and Edward, but she calls them mom and dad in her mind. It's the first memory she has of them, right after she was born. Then she shows me their house, continuing with Carlisle and Esme bringing her bicycling, but also Emmet and Rosalie playing with her. I even get to see Jasper and Alice cooking for her, making her her favorite dish of all time, lasagna. I smile at the mental pictures, feeling like the Cullens are more human then I just recently expected them to be. She shows me that they just like the pack want to live their lives at peace.

She then continues, all suddenly changing the pictures from her family to mine. Showing me a picture of Paul before he met me, unhappy and angry, some pictures even ache in my chest when I see how close they were to actually kill her. But finally they came to an understanding, with an agreement that Renesmee stayes homeschooled till the day she on paper turnes eighteen. From today, thats 15 years till then.

Continuing, she shows a picture of me and Paul now, his eyes glued on me whilst he carries the biggest grin on his face, obviously me wanting to note the difference between the first and the second. He is happy now, and it fills my chest with warmth at the thought.

I pull away when she shows me a picture of what she thinks our baby will look like. And just like Alice's vision he carries my grey eyes, but that's all I am able to see before I pull away. Paul directly stands himself infront of me in a matter of milliseconds, snarling at the little girl and what she showed me that he saw made me wince.

I reach out to caress his back, showing him she did nothing wrong. I speak. "Thank you Renesmee, that was beautiful" My tone is calm, and my words short, wanting to change the subject before any of the Cullens wants to continue the subject knowing they all know what she just showed me.

"I'm sorry if I showed you something you didn't like. I just" Her voice is small and almost ashamed, and as she tries to finish her sentence Paul snarls at the little girl, making both Sam but also her parents react. Sam imedietly calls back Paul as all of the Cullens have their eyes even more focused on us.

"Paul it's fine, just stand behind me and try to breathe. Nothing will happen. I'm just talking to Renesmee."I take his big head in my small arms, caressing the soft fur in my hand in a soothing matter. He breathes out in my face and licks shortly at my cheek before doing as I say. Turning back to Renesmee, I genuinely excuse Paul for his actions. She smiles at me.

"It's fine. Mom and dad tells me I am very strong for my age so I understand his need to protect you." She say, turning back to her parents who both of them send her a small smile. I nod.

"I get it, don't worry. But thank you for showing me, it was really interesting."I state before I turn back to Paul, ready to walk back to the rest of the pack.

"Wait!" She exclaims taking fast steps following me, crossing the invisible line between the Cullens and The packs territories that I and Paul just crossed on our way back. Everybody around the field freezes, including Paul. Now she is currently on Pack land, giving everyone in the pack allowence to any second rip her apart if they so wished, and the Cullens can't do anything about it. She is on their treaty without permission.

Imedietly understanding the seriousness of the situation, I turn back around to try and push her back over, getting even more worried as she doesn't move. She is quite strong for a twelve years old.

"Hey Renesmee, please step back. Just a few steps. Please. I don't want you hurt" I beg her meeting her beautiful brown eyes as I realise she has the eyes of her mother, before the change. She grasps at my hand. Making Rosalie cover her mouth in shock, and Isabella looking like she would be crying if she could. I suck in a breath.

"Renesmee please let go of me and walk back to your parents. Now." I exhale. She looks down, hurt by my harsh tone.

"Will you be my friend?" She asks. I look around me meeting not only Sams gaze but also Jacobs, then Edward's, Jasper, and Alice'. They all carry the same frown on their face, everybody absolutely terrified anything is gonna happen to her. No one wants a war.

"Will you go back to your parents if I am willing to be you friend?" I ask, meeting her gaze. She nods at me with a wide grin placed on her face. She pulls me in for a tight quick hug before walking back over the invisible line and towards her parents. In matter of milliseconds they have run to her and picked her up before running back to where they stod before. Bella carries a mad expression on her face as she looks down at her daughter. Edward just seems bewildered by the whole scenery.

Sam clear his throat, getting back the attention from everyone being focused on Renesmee. I walk back the last part of the field with Paul, soon standing together with the rest of the pack. Paul rubs his whole side against me whilst turning back towards the Cullens, probably as a way of trying to calm me down. She put alot at risk just because of me.

"Now that Renesmee did get to try and show Nova her visions, which did work, I would like to call this meeting canceled" Sam order's as Carlisle smiles in agreement. "As you may please. But before you go, I would like to welcome Nova to come visit our home sometime. Whenever and with whoever she wishes ofcourse." Carlisle speaks meeting my questioning gaze. Meeting Sam's eyes he seems just as baffled at the statement.

"Sure. Thank you. I'll see you during my next treatment" I speak, Carlisle nodding. "Yes. See you on wednesday, goodbye." Carlisle speaks as Sam changes back into a wolf, ready to head back to the reservation.

"Goodbye" I wave, getting a wave back from Renesmee as Paul let's me hop on his back again by laying down flat on his four paws. Whilst Paul stands up with me on his back, I send a last glanse at the already gone Cullens before Paul and I join the pack.

With my arms placed securely as far as I manage around the wolf's troath, we start to run in unison with the pack. Since Paul is third in command, he places himself next to Sam and Seth. Taking a look at each individual of the pack, all of them run with such grace, and ease, like they were born to do exactly this.

The ride is over almost too soon, and as the rest of the pack slows down, Paul does the same. It looks like we are back by Emily's and Sam's house, and without me even noticing, two wolves have left the pack, probably to go pick up the car Paul picked us up with. Paul let's me down next to a large tree trunk before disappearing into a bush nearby.

"Gosh, thought that pale ass never would stop talking. Even weirder when they invited you into their home. I wouldn't take that offer if I were you, I mean what did you do in difference from the other imprints they've met?" Embry is the first one done changing back into his jeans shorts. With his hands in his pockets and his hair a little bit all over the place he walks over to me, speaking whilst doing so.

I get quiet at his words, unsure how I should answer. Why did they invite me if they haven't invited the other imprints? Sam soon takes my defence.

"Let her be Embry. Nova did as she was expected and I can promise you she knows just as little as you do about the Cullens and their wierd ideas." Sam tells, walking out of another bush as also Jared and Seth does the same. Seth runs over to me.

"Dude! They want you as their friend. Please you gotta take me there if you ever go! I haven't gotten to wrestle with Emmet in weeks!" Seth exclaims with a happy grin on his face, putting his hands on my much smaller biceps, shaking me in excitement. If the ride on Paul's back didn't shake me enough, Seth just did.

"Ah come on Seth, you wanna hangout with those palefaces? I get that wolf who sadly imprinted on that disgusting half vampire and therefore have to hangout with her just as stupid family, but please, you?" Jared interrupts, making Seth turn his gaze to his packbrother standing behind him, also him on his way walking over to us.

"Calm down Jared, it's not like you have to spend extra time with them just because they invited Nova. And if you don't like them that's actually not my problem" Seth defends as Jake comes out of another bush, the two younger wolves (Brady and Collin) soon following behind. All three of them, but also Sam and Embry starts making their way over to the house, leaving me behind with Jared and Seth and Paul.

"Who's gonna spend extra time with Nova?" The familiar warmth from Paul's hands reaches my hips, calming me even more as I hear his deep voice just a few inches from my right ear. I shudder when I feel his strong chest lightly getting pressed to my back.

"The palefaces."Jared frowns as I can feel Paul secure his arms around my waist, I lean into the embrance feeling him gently place his head on top of mine. "Alright. Its not like I can deny my girlfriend the treatment she needs, even less so have any of my packmates talk shit about it." Paul explains with a defensive tone as Jared shrugs his shoulders. "Fine. But we don't want another love triangle between a human, wolf and vampire. Who knows what went through their minds seeing her for the first time." Jared states reaching up his hands in a surrending manner, just wanting to explain, no fights. Paul growls.

"All of them are mated Jared. And if they were to ever try anything I'd rip them apart right then and there." Paul speaks as Seth nods agreeingly. "Yeah, especially now that Nessie is old enough to actually hang out with the her mate" Seth includes.

"Alright, fine. Have it your way. Now let's go inside, im starving."Jared says changing the subject completely, Paul nods.

"Yeah, let's eat. And then we can discuss a little further on who's gonna come with us during the treatments. Anyone you'd prefer, Nova?" Paul says with a calm tone, looking down at me as we walk over to the house. I bit my lip in thought. "I'll have to think about that one."

THANKS FOR READING!

Who do you think Paul and Nova is gonna ask to follow during her treatment? Motivate!

🖊!

im going to use this as a convinient excuse to talk about the better-than-overwatch superheroes ive been buzzing about for the past five hours. im on mobile and cant do readmores so. buckle the fuck up!

so the general idea of it is that theres this group called the Citizens of Mankind Protection Agency (CMPA) that starts out as this disaster relief agency mostly focusing on upholding peace and prosperity through a group of allied human nations through the solar system(called the Earthling Pact/Unified Earthling Pact)

BUT after about 100 years of corruption and war (with different groups of robotic and alien lifeforms) the CMPA has basically lost any trust or respect from the general public, essentially being a privatized corporate police/military force.

after a PR disaster or two in which the CMPA fails to do its job of, yknow, protecting people, it decides it needs a new 'public face'

this leads to the development of the Compatriot program! its a campy, showy, gimmicky styled team of superhero types thats meant to operate as underdog style heroes that the public will root for and enjoy and trust

this team is led by the bushy-tailed rookie, Hilda Beckham (codenamed: Operative). Though inexperienced, Operative was chosen for her quick mind and general positive, friendly air. She's scrappy and good at using her environment to solve problems, and is a confident leader. Young as she is, she genuinely believes she can use Compatriot to make the world a better place and to heal the corruption in CMPA. (her playstyle would probably be a dps player similar to s76 and tracer, a quick-moving midtoclose range damage dealer. plain, no real superpowers, though she has more advanced melee things than others(sprint, dodging, tuck and roll kinda things. maybe a stun blast)

she goes on a recruitment mission, seeking out retired/defected/former CMPA members as well as new and gifted young people to make up her team.

her first catch is a young person named Angelo Brady, codenamed Bubble! their power is basically what it says on the tin, they can create bubble-like surfaces to use as protective sheilds(for themselves teammates, and fixed points/objects) as well as platforms to jump around on, giving them higher manuverability and a bit of technique. They'd probably be a more defense-oriented character, with a long range primary(maybe a zarya sort of splash damage), as well as a short-range secondary, and more focus on moving around and sheilding than melee fighting. their ultimate would maybe be something kind of hammond-ey? a spread of bubble bombs thrown around a certain point? or maybe sticky traps? who knows. not me

their design would be very pop-ey, bold colours and shapes taking inspiration from murals, street art, and pop art. very young, maybe around 16?

second she grabs up Arthur Braveheart, codenamed as King Arthur. A former CMPA member that was discharged during the wartime, citing that his "code of honor" interfered with his ability to follow orders. he's kind of grouchy and very jaded but follows a strict code of morals for how he fights and conducts himself.

hes a knight-themed tank hero that has a very sword-and-sheild playstyle, with high health and additional armor. He fights melee, with no long range capabilities. His primary weapon is a bigass sword that like can light on fire and stuff. Has some sheilding capability, but only for himself. Secondary attack is a sheild bash. His ultimate gives him a horse that moves at 2.5x his normal speed and doubles his weapon damage, as well as knocking you prone if he "charges" you with the horse (ult. lasts 10-15 seconds. the horses name is Excalibur.)

third she goes after Revenant, a nameless and elusive former CMPA member that really only exists in rumors, for the most part, serving as a sort of vigilante type in the desert areas of america and mexico. Revenant was a victim of brutal genetic experiments by CMPA, in attempts to make the perfect soldier. she can go into a werewolf-style rage transformation thingy, and was believed to have been killed in battle, shot with an enourmous energy blast clean through her stomach, only to get back up and keep fighting. she's virtually unkillable.

shes heavily melee-focused, a lot of physical attack abilities combined with shotguns(primary weapon). one of her secondary abilities is called "undying", which allows her to regain up health as she deals damage for 10-15 seconds. her ultimate is a winston-style damage dealer where she increases 1.5x in speed and deals 2.5x damage for 15 seconds, as well as instantly being brought up to 60% health if she was below.

she turns down Operative's offer, saying she'd rather die than do anything for the CMPA.

she travels with a young woman known as Vaquero,a mexican girl with a cowboy aesthetic and a knack for sharpshooting. She's a windowmaker sniper-type, using a lasso-thingy to hook her to points and pull her towards them. She has a smoke bomb+shadow-sneak ability that essentially turns her invisible and gives a 1.5x speed boost for twenty seconds, and can "take cover", drinking a thingy that regains up to 50 health. her ultimate allows her to jump to the nearest visible group of two or more enemies and high-noon them, slowing time aim-focusing up to three headshots.

Vaquero & Revenant have a really cute mother-daughter style relationship even though Rev is a very stoic, tall dark & brooding type. her only weakness and care in the world is Vaquero, and she'd follow her to the ends of the earth.

V & R are classified as rogue, unalined characters, but their primary goal is to take down CMPA and the compatriot program (Revenant would also like violent revenge on the doctor who tortured her)

SPEAKING OF! the good doctor is a woman named Ilyana Glasse, a morally ambigious medical doctor interested in cybernetic & genetic enhancment engineering. shes very much just Moira two bc im in love w moira.... but a bit more sadistic and just fucking weird to be around.

Glasse actually seeks out Operative, as a high-ranking scientist in CMPA she very much wants to be involved in this team of experimental, incredibly talented soldiers.

THERE ARE PROBABLY A LOT MORE I JUST HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT YET. I WANNA GET IN SOME ROBOTS AND SOME MARTIANS AND SOME SPACE-DWELLING HUMANS TOO BUT AHHH THATS A LOT OF STUFF

NEways i just. love superheroes and i love the *concept* of ovw so much the execution just. suuuucks.

The Great Hoseok

Masterlist

Pairing: Hoseok x Reader

Summary: Life working in a speakeasy was far from boring, but when a new customer catches your eye, he changes your life, bringing a whole new level of thrill. Can you handle it?

"His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it."

Previous/ Next

Chapter Fourteen

You wake up slowly, immediately crying out in pain. "Y/N!" You hear Hoseok shout next to you. You groan, not able to form proper words. "Jin! I think she needs another shot!" He cries, and rapid footsteps sound through the room. You try to move, only to be held down gently. "Don't move, sweetheart. It'll be over soon. I'm going to make you feel better." Jin's soft voice rang through your ears. The bed dips next to you, and Hoseok grabs your hand tightly.

You feel a sharp pinch in your shoulder, and you squeeze Hoseok's hand in pain. You cry out, Hoseok's other hand reaching up to rub soft circles on your lower back. "Sh, baby doll, it's done. It's okay now." Hoseok's calm voice soothes you to a point. "What happened?" You ask, groaning as you turn onto your side. "No no, don't lay on that. Just lay on your stomach." He coos. You do as he says, wanting to avoid as much pain as possible.

"Baby doll, do you remember what happened?" He asks softly, rubbing your back gently. "No. I know I felt excruciating pain, then nothing." You reply. "I'm so sorry, baby doll. You should never have felt that pain. If I could go back and protect you I could. It was supposed to be me." He says. "What exactly happened?" You ask weakly. "You got shot." He says simply.

"Shot? You mean, with a bullet?" You ask, not entirely comprehending what hes saying. "Yes, with a bullet. It wasn't intended for you. It was meant for me. But, the guy is all taken care of." He says, not exactly easing your worries. "Who was it?" You ask, afraid of the answer. "Your friend, BM." He says. You're not surprised, but you're still hurt. "Why would he do that?" You ask. "Well, we checked where your wound is compared to me, and it's right where my heart is." He says, and your heart breaks. Matthew was actually looking to kill him? "What happened to him?" You ask. He gives a weak smile. "To be honest, I don't know. I let Namjoon and Yoongi have at it and told them not to tell me." He says.

You sigh, a bit worried, but also relieved because the pain is subsiding. "You feeling a bit better now?" He asks softly. "I am. The medicine is helping." You tell him, smiling. "Good. I'm so sorry, Y/N. You shouldn't have gotten hurt." He says, his eyes watering. "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. It's okay." You assure him. You move slowly, sitting up and making sure not to hurt yourself. You dangle your legs off the side of the bed, smiling at Hoseok as he moves in between your legs. He wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you into his warm embrace.

"What time is it?" You ask, seeing it's dark outside. "Its 10 pm. Our bags are packed. I'm sorry, baby doll, but we still have to get on that boat tomorrow." He says sadly. "You are technically a fugitive." "Alright, I understand. I can make it." You smile at him. "I'm tough." You giggle. He smiles up at you, placing a soft kiss on your lips. "Of course you are. My tough baby girl." He says. "Now, why dont we get to bed? We have to wake up early." He says, patting your thigh. You nod, and he joins you in the bed, being very gentle with you as you cuddle up to him, his warmth and the rise and fall of his chest lulling you to sleep.

You reach the dock as the boarding is coming to an end, the last few passengers making their way on the boat. All the boys are wearing hats and glasses, and even Jimin is here to see the two of you off. You give everyone hugs, saying your goodbyes and promising not to be away for too long. "We're gonna miss you." Taegyung says when he hugs you. "Oh, also, I packed a lot of medicine for you, make your you take it once a day to ease your pain. Get to a hospital as soon as you get to Paris so they can check on your wound. I have a few friends over there, just give them my name and yours and they'll know what to do." Jin says, smiling.

"Thank you, all of you, so much." You say, taking Hoseok's hand in yours. You freeze as you hear someone calling out to Jimin. "Cheif!" They shout. An officer jogs towards your group, and you recognize him as one out of the group that burst into the Barracuda. You hug Hoseok, keeping your face buried in his chest to hide yourself.

"Ah, Brady, what are you doing here?" Jimin replies. "Well, Chief I could ask you the same thing!" The man chuckles. "I had a call just around the corner so I figured I'd stop by here, make sure no trouble occurs." The officer says. "Good job. I was just here sending off my friends. They're going on a trip for a while." Jimin says. "Ah, congratulations! A honeymoon?" The officer says, and you can feel his gaze on you. "Something like that officer Brady. Jung Hoseok, pleasure to meet you." Hoseok says, shaking his hand. "This here is my lady, Maureen. My apologies, shes rather tired." He says, rubbing your back.

"I understand that, it's been non stop at the office. No mean to startle you, but there was a break in at the jail yesterday. No one got out, don't worry, but we're still investigating who did it. We're thinking something with the mob, judging by the outfits." Brady says. "Ah, well, good luck to you. Boys, you stay safe, just in case anyone did sneak out." Hoseok says, causing a round of agreement from the men surrounding you. "Well then, I wish you a good trip. Chief, I'll see you later." Brady says, his footsteps fading away.

You sigh into Hoseok's chest, allowing your shoulders to relax. "Sh, it's okay, baby doll, hes gone now." He coos, hugging you. You pull back, turning around and giving a small smile to the boys. "Well, it's time for us to go. We'll be back in a few months. Make sure you keep up the business. Namjoon, I showed you how to do it, make me proud." Hoseok says. "Yes sir." Namjoon replies. Hoseok grabs your bags, saying a last goodbye to the guys before leading you to the boat. Someone takes your bags as you step onto the ship, getting your room number so they can bring them there for you.

You head straight for your room, just wanting to relax. You open the door, revealing an elegant room with a king sized bed and gorgeous decor. "Oh, Hoseok, its beautiful!" You gasp. "You think this is nice? Just wait until we get to the house in Paris." He smiles. You turn to him, brows knit in confusion. "House?" You ask. "You actually have a house in Paris?" "Oh, yes. I have a few houses around the world. Paris, Rome, the Bahamas." He says casually. "Are you serious? I never knew that." You say. "Theres still a lot you don't know about me, baby doll." He smirks. "Now, let's enjoy our time on this ship. Carefully though, we don't want you to get hurt." He says, and you smile and nod. You can't wait to see what this trip has in store for you.

Are Republicans Trying To Get Rid Of Social Security

New Post has been published on https://www.patriotsnet.com/are-republicans-trying-to-get-rid-of-social-security/

Are Republicans Trying To Get Rid Of Social Security

Trumps Scheme To Sabotage Medicare And Social Security

Republican Introduces Legislation To Completely Gut Social Security

Dont get too comfortable with your Social Security and Medicare.

Thats the warning President Trump sent from his New Jersey golf course Saturday as he announced a package of coronavirus relief that turns out to be more of a cynical and cruel campaign stunt.

Heres why its cynical:

Democrats and even some Republicans are questioning the legality of his new executive orders, which depend in large measure on the voluntary cooperation of employers and cash-strapped state legislatures.

The cut in payroll taxes that finance Social Security and Medicare is actually a deferment that workers or their employers would have to cough up next year. But Trump vowed to make the cut permanent.

The temporary $400 in weekly supplemental unemployment benefits turns out to be only $300. States would be challenged to kick in another $100, but most legislatures are cash-strapped and forbidden by constitutions or laws to run deficits like the federal government can. They cant print money either. Trump would filch the $300 of federal money from funds budgeted for natural disasters in hurricane season no less and that is certain to be challenged in court.;

The order to resume a moratorium on evictions is nothing more than an instruction to government agencies to consider whether it needs to be done and to look for money in their existing budgets to help terrified renters.

Hes raising false hopes for everyone else. Thats what makes it cruel.

This is what he said:

Trumps Plan To Defund Social Security

On August 8, at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, President Donald Trump announced that his administration is seeking to delay much of the payroll tax that funds Social Security1 of 4 unilateral actions he took in lieu of negotiating with Congress on meaningful economic relief legislation. The president also said that if he is reelected, he wants not only to turn the delay into a tax cut that would result in significant revenue losses for Social Security, but also to eliminate employee payroll taxes for good. As our analysis based on the Social Security trustees projections shows, eliminating employee payroll taxes along the lines that the president has proposed would, absent additional action, completely exhaust the Social Security trust fund by 2026 or earlier and result in steep benefit cuts.

Trump has made clear that he wants the tax that is delayed this fall under his unilateral action to be permanently forgiven, which would result in a permanent revenue loss of about $100 billion for Social Security. At the Bedminster press conference, President Trump also stated, If Im victorious on November 3rd, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax. Trump doubled down on these comments on Monday, August 10, reiterating, After the election, on the assumption that it will be victorious for an administration thats done a great job, we will be ending that tax, well be terminating that tax.

Social Security Is Facing A Nearly $17 Trillion Funding Gap

If Biden wins in November, he’ll have a host of issues to immediately tackle, including the ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic, job creation, and growing the U.S. economy. But don’t overlook perhaps the biggest long-term challenge facing the president: Social Security’s widening cash shortfall.

Every year, the Social Security Board of Trustees releases a report that examines the short-term and long-term outlook for the program. In each of the past 35 years, the Trustees have cautioned that long-term revenue collection won’t be sufficient to cover outlays. This is a fancy way of saying that the existing payout schedule, inclusive of cost-of-living adjustments , isn’t sustainable. Social Security is facing an estimated $16.8 trillion funding shortfall between 2035 — when the Trustees anticipate the program will exhaust its $2.9 trillion in asset reserves — and 2094. Benefit cuts of up to 24% may await retired workers as a result.

Something needs to be done soon to shore up Social Security; otherwise, our nation’s retired workforce could be in big financial trouble in less than 15 years.

However, Biden has a plan.

You May Like: Donald Trump Calling Republicans Stupid

President Trump Wont Destroy Social Securitybut Hes Not Going To Save It

Former Vice President Joe Biden is running campaign ads that claim President Trump signed an executive action directing funding cuts for Social Security and proposed slashing hundreds of billions of dollars from the Social Security Trust Fund every year.;

The problem is, however, that this just isnt so.

A Biden campaign TV ad falsely claims that a government analysis of President Donald Trumps planned cuts to Social Security shows that if Trump gets his way, Social Security benefits will run out in just three years from now, says FactCheck.org.;

The cliche politics aint beanbag exists for a reason: Campaigns use overhyped rhetoric to distort their opponents positions and make them appear less electable. Seniors should rest easy and understand that their Social Security benefits arent going anywhere.

But this dynamic of misleading charges belies a more fundamental problem: Something will eventually need to be done to buttress Social Securitys finances. Episodes like this dont bode well for future attempts to reform Social Security.

President Trumps Record On Social Security

In 2016, the president distinguished himself from other Republicans by promising to leave Social Security alone. Over the past four years, hes pretty much done just that.

There have been no Bush-like privatization plans from the Trump administration, no Simpson/Bowles-inspired murmings over cutting benefits or raising the full retirement age. Theres been no real plan to do much of anything. The Biden campaign ad is as close as theres been to a controversy, and even that misrepresents the presidents aims.

Should Trump win in November you can expect more of the same.;

I haven’t seen anything discussed on Social Security reform, Andrew Biggs, a research fellow at the conservative-leaning think tank AEI told Forbes Advisor. The president has argued against any Social Security benefit cuts but hasn’t waded into how Social Security’s long-term funding should be secured.

While this should assuage any fears about changes to the Social Security status quo and soothe soon-to-be retirees worried about cuts to their monthly checks, its less than ideal that the Trump administration has no plans to shore up Social Securitys long-term finances.;

Switch The Program’s Inflationary Tether To The Cpi

Fourth and finally, Biden has suggested that the inflationary tether for Social Security be changed from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers to the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly .

The CPI-W has been the program’s inflationary measure since 1975, and while it’s resulted in a positive COLA in 42 of the past 45 years, the purchasing power of Social Security dollars has been slashed by 30% since 2000. That’s because the CPI-W doesn’t do a very good job of accurately measuring the costs that seniors are contending with. Even though more than 80% of Social Security beneficiaries are seniors, the CPI-W tracks the spending habits of urban and clerical workers, who often aren’t seniors or receiving Social Security benefits.

Under Biden’s plan, the CPI-E would become the new inflationary tether. The CPI-E specifically tracks the spending habits of households with persons aged 62 and up. In theory, this should result in a more accurate COLA each year.

Democrats Oppose Relief For Essential Workers Just Because Of Politics

Payroll taxes are the largest taxes most workers pay, and during the economic lockdown, many families have gone from earning two incomes to earning just one. Thats why Congress ought to provide an instant payraise for the frontline workers who are keeping this economy running by supporting Rep. Kevin Bradys Support for Workers, Families, and Social Security Act. The bill forgives employee …

They Aim To Fix Social Security Through Long

Finally, Republicans do want to fix Social Security, but they are at the opposite side of the spectrum from Democrats on how to do that. Whereas Democrats prefer raising revenue to make up for an expected $13.2 trillion cash shortfall between 2034 and 2092, Republicans want to reduce the program’s long-term expenditures.

How, you ask? As noted, they’d implement the Chained CPI, which would result in lower annual COLAs, and thereby reduce the amount of expenditures heading to beneficiaries over the long run.

Republicans are also big proponents of raising the full retirement age, or the age at which you become eligible for your full retirement benefit. Currently, set to peak at age 67 for those born in 2022 or later, Republicans would like to see this gradually increased to as high as age 70. This would require retired workers to either wait longer to receive their full payout, or to accept a steeper monthly reduction if claiming early. Either way, it reduces the lifetime benefits paid out by Social Security, and thereby saves the program money.

Some Republicans, including Donald Trump, have called for a form of means-testing, which would reduce or eliminate Social Security benefit payments for those folks or couples who are wealthy.

Do Republicans In Congress Want To Take Away Social Security Medicare Medicaid

Republicans Are Lying About Social Security

Its been a time-tested Democratic attack line: Republicans are going to take away your Medicare, or maybe your Social Security. We gave a variant of the line our 2011 Lie of the Year.

Now the talking point has re-emerged, in a , from Oregons Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee:

“#TrumpTax was only the beginning. After giving massive tax giveaways to wealthy & powerful shareholders, Republicans in Congress are plotting to take away Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.”

#TrumpTax was only the beginning. After giving massive tax giveaways to wealthy & powerful shareholders, Republicans in Congress are plotting to take away Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Ron Wyden

In reality, the notion that congressional Republicans are scheming to “take away” Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security is inaccurate.

The Democratic news release

The first piece of evidence undercutting the tweets message is actually linked in the tweet itself.

An accompanying Senate Democratic press release, dated March 27, starts by saying, “Its only been a few months since Republicans jammed through their massive giveaway to corporate executives and wealthy shareholders. Now theyre planning on paying for it with huge cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, despite President Trumps promises that he wouldnt do so.”

These quotes suggest the Republican in charge of the House continues to seek overhauls of the entitlement system.

Biden To Meet With Senate Republicans About Covid

The cuts can be avoided, budget experts say, only with 60 Senate votes leaving Democrats back where they started, because it’s unclear whether Republicans would vote to prevent the cuts after having opposed a partisan relief package.

“It’s Medicare. It’s farm subsidies,” said Marc Goldwein, a budget expert at the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “It’s a bunch of programs that would be cut.”

The size of the reductions in Medicare and other social safety net program would depend on the size of the package, but they’d be significant even if the price tag fell under $1 trillion. Social Security and low-income programs would be exempt.

“The cuts would be huge,” said Paul Van de Water, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank. “It’s a critical issue, which, at some point, is going to have to be dealt with.”

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who will shepherd the reconciliation process and has been a supporter of expanding safety net programs, will work to prevent the cuts, said his spokesman, Keane Bhatt.

Bhatt pointed to the last time budget reconciliation was used to make a big change when Republicans passed a costly tax cut on a partisan vote, which triggered $25 billion in Medicare cuts. But Democrats joined Republicans to prevent the cuts from taking effect in a government funding measure that was passed subsequently.

Republicans Are Pushing Myths About Social Security

Republican politicians want to cut Social Security. They never say so out loud, but their 2016 platform reveals the truth. In the section labeled, Saving Social Security, it proclaims, As Republicans, we oppose tax increases Since Social Security cannot deficit spend and is projecting a shortfall in 2035 if Congress doesnt act, that only leaves benefit cuts.

Representative John Larson , the Chairman of the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Social Security, is trying to force his Republican colleagues into the open. Larson is the sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act, which increases Social Securitys modest benefits. Additionally, it raises enough revenue to ensure that all benefits can be paid in full and on time through the year 2100 and beyond. Ninety percent of the Democrats in the House of Representatives are co-sponsors, but not a single Republican. Given their refusal to back his bill, Rep. Larson has urged Republicans to offer an alternative proposal to no avail.

Non-action is not an option, unless your goal is to cut Social Security. The most recent Social Security Trustees’ Report projects that with no action, benefits will be automatically reduced by 20 percent in 2035. As Chairman Larson has plainly stated, The hard truth of the matter is that Republicans want to cut Social Security, and doing nothing achieves their goal.

Trump White House Claim The Tax Relief Will Not Impact Social Security

On Sunday, as he boarded Marine One, Trump told reporters that the executive order deferring;payroll taxes for some Americans;will “have zero impact on Social Security.”;

“We protect Social Security,” he added, according to Fox News.

An official from the;White House told USA TODAY on Tuesday that the Social Security Trust Fund is not at risk, since payment deferral is only temporary, and at present, must be paid back early in 2021. The official confirmed, though, that the president;called;on;Congress to make the;deferral permanent,;thereby eliminating the tax.

Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy think tank, told USA TODAY that eliminating the tax is not the same as eliminating Social Security.

More:Fact check: Democrats have condemned violence linked to BLM, anti-fascist protests

“Strictly speaking, Social Security could be funded using general fund revenue or alternative revenue source, so terminating a tax and terminating a program are distinct things,” he;wrote in an email.

“However, it would be reasonable to ask what would happen with the program absent an alternative plan to fund it,” Watson added.

On Wednesday, Trump suggested an alternate source for the first time the general fund of government revenues ;per Fox Business.

Republicans Demand Social Security And Medicare Cuts Is It Reported

Yesterday The Hill reported, in House GOP says sequester is leverage in next budget battle, that Rep. Paul Ryan is pushing for cuts in Social Security and Medicare:

In a meeting with House conservatives, Rep. Paul Ryan , told rank-and-file lawmakers that, as the partys chief budget negotiator, he would push instead for long-term reforms to entitlement programs in exchange for changes to sequestration spending cuts that Democrats are expected to demand.

Rep. Matt Salmon said that during the GOP meeting, Ryan pointed to sequestration as the partys leverage with Democrats and said the Republican negotiators would not accept revenue increases in exchange.

Were going to try to push for some substantial reforms on entitlement spending and our backstop is sequestration, Salmon said in describing Ryans remarks.

Most Americans dont read The Hill. And most Americans dont know that long-term reforms to entitlement spending specifically means cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Reuters is pretty much the only outlet carrying this news, in;U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan wants narrower focus for new budget talks,

Thats about it. So lets go back to a few weeks before The Hills report, and see if there have been reports in the major media that spell out for the public that, having dropped their demand to get rid of Obamacare Republicans are demanding cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

Democrats Risk Unintended Medicare Cuts If They Pass Partisan Covid Relief

WASHINGTON Democrats considering a maneuver to forgo bipartisan support to pass Covid-19 relief are confronting an unintended consequence: Doing so could automatically cut Medicare.

Many Democrats want to pass President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief proposal, which includes $1,400 stimulus checks and aid to local governments. A group of Republican senators is pushing for a smaller plan that would provide $1,000 checks.

So Democratic leaders are preparing to use a process known as budget reconciliation, which would allow them to pass Biden’s proposal without getting 60 votes in the Senate, which would require at least 10 Republicans.

But under the Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, known as PAYGO, new laws that raise the national debt automatically trigger offsetting cuts in some safety net programs.

They Haven’t Taken A Dime From The Social Security Program That Isn’t Accounted For

Another misconception is that the Republican Party stole money from the Social Security Trust and used it to fund wars. More specifically, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush have come under intense scrutiny for borrowing from Social Security and “not putting the money back.”

However, the truth of the matter is that Congress has been able to “borrow” Social Security’s excess cash for five decades, and it’s happened under every single president over that stretch. In fact, the Social Security Administration is required by law to purchase special-issue bonds and certificates of indebtedness with this excess cash. Please note the emphasis on “required by law” that I’ve added above. The federal government isn’t simply going to sit on this excess cash it borrows from Social Security. It’s spending this cash on various line items, which may be wars and the defense budget, as well as education, healthcare, and pretty much any other expenditure you can think of.

This setup is actually a win-win for both parties. The federal government has a relatively liquid source of borrowing with the Social Security Trust, and the Trust is able to generate significant annual income from the interest it earns on its loans. Last year, $85.1 billion of the $996.6 billion that was generated by the program came from interest income.

imma just drop a lil intro post

hey y’all! just a lil intro ~ i’m elle, i’m #extra, i am 20 years old, i live for two things exclusively (cheese and drama), and my timezone is whatever timezone paris is in i honestly donut know lol anyways plot w me!! i hella excited to rp with yall like... ur my heroes for applying dont get me started

anywayyyssssss *sweats* how do i.. summarize tyler henry

early life:

tyler’s birth was pretty widely anticipated because her parents were like THE celebrity couple of the mid-90′s and beyond

her dad is a really famous and accomplished nfl player (think like...idk like peyton manning or tom brady just like hella well known idk i dont watch football asdhyjuik) and her mother is a really well known actress who mainly did movies (think like....idk nicole kidman, julia roberts u feel me)

so it goes without saying they were really rich and tyler grew up livin that #lux life

and until she was about 11 everything was perfect and everyone seemed so happy and she felt so loved and so lucky

teenage years

the joke was literally on her because that happiness didn’t last long and her she watched her parents grow out of love

there was always tension in the house and picking sides and fights and a lot of bad energy

and what tyler didn’t know how to handle it and she had a lot of misplaced anger and she turned into a ..mild bully

she put on this front of superiority and callousness towards everyone because she literally didn’t know what else to do with her emotions and didn’t want to seem weak

ya it all goes downhill from here so like

young adulthood

things at home just kept getting worse and her dad showed such disdain for ty and her mom and she could sense that her dad didn’t love her anymore?? or as much?? and it made her really hate her mom because she thought it was her fault and so that caused distance between them

and her mom sort of turned into a wreck and started drinking and traveling and leaving tyler all by herself

and at that point like her dad had moved out but didn’t tell anyone where

and they’d go out on family dinners once a month but it was hell and tyler was 50% over it and 50% trying to win back her dad’s love even if she didnt realise thats what she was doing

and so that caused a lot of things to happen like, tyler applied and went to columbia because that’s where her dad went and she thought they could reconnect over it but like nope

and she would act out and party and purposefully be papped so maybe her dad would see and care and call but nope

she just turned into a mess and people mistook it as her being a lowkey attention whore (which, dont get me wrong she does like attention but not to the extent that she acts like) but it was all so that MAYBE her dad would show interest in her and yeah nope

adulthood

so now she’s an adult and she’s still a mild bully and things at home still suck and she is lowkey highkey a very lonely person but she wont let anyone see that shes hurting

so she just distracts herself by being a socialite to keep her mind off of like how unloved she feels and how its affecting her

and now she’s marrying charlie (another thing she’s doing for her family - and her dad basically)

and she bought...her own stalker......to make people (her dad... ya you get it) think that shes in danger and like MAYBE SHE’LL

basically....theres a void in her heart and she doesnt know how to fill it and it affects every relationship she has and she isnt even really sure she knows how to show or compute love/compassion because she like....bareLY knows what that looks like so anyways ya she’s a mess

she’s just on autopilot tbh shes so bored and being a tyrant is fun so she’s a terror for sport

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ANYWAYS ew sad stuff lets move on

here’s some fun facts:

shes a gemini

her fav color is mauve

she trained to be a professional tennis player but didn’t really like it too much so she quit at 18

her favorite movie is the craft because well...powerful badass witches

she will stab you if you call her ty and not tyler, like no exceptions she will slap you if she has to correct you more than once

favorite designer hands down is prada and she will be buried in it one day.

she is a casual smoker like if she’s out partying she’ll smoke a cigarette or two but doesn’t smoke on the reg

DRINKING however she does like everyday she loves her red wine

i’ll add to this later?? or like actually i’ll be a responsible person and finish her about page lmao

#ooc #intro post #this is.....so long i am so sorry lol #tw like just major daddy issues

oh ok so fun fact! u totally have multiple fe anons now! XD theres def at least 2 of us, maybe more tho. im NOT the anon from the last ask, but dragons gate idea! holy shit. this is the Dream Scenario, tell me more. like i think the trio would be way more comfy staying knowing they could visit home whenever they wanted. how do encounters with the other future kids go? i imagine that tho they bicker they actually care about one another quite a bit? do the royal sibs get shovel talked?

Multiple!!! Anons!! I guess I’ve been suspecting that for a bit now but it’s finally been #confirmed and I’m still as surprised as if it were day one, lol. I’ve been addressing some asks as though they’re all from the same anon when they’re probably not. Whoops! At least I can be more careful from here on out ;)

Dragon’s Gate Scenario (where the timelines between Nohr and Ylisse actually match up) is best scenario because allowing the Trio to visit their family and and friends without leaving Nohr behind makes my heart warm and happy. I agree that they’d be wayyyy more comfy with this ability. (Also buckle up bc we’re about to talk about some timeline stuff right here)

I’m pretty convinced most the fe13 crew thinks the Awakening Trio is dead by now, tbh. Which makes me so sad!!! And I don’t want it to be true!! But from what it seems, Anankos showed up right when all the future kids were gonna split ways and was like “please save my kingdom” and threw a paper with where to meet (probably wraped around a brick or something and it nearly hits Inigo, lmao) and then he left. So Owain, Inigo, and Severa go off to check it out, but?? They probably didn’t except to be gone for literal years? Because it’s definitely been years.

I think Selena makes some comment that implies she remembers Corrin as a young child but that feels a little too long for me/they still look pretty young in-game, so to me, the Trio has probably been in Nohr for like five (5) years or so? That’s just personal opinion. That number can change, but it’s for sure been years.

When they meet, Anankos is pretty explicit about the fact if they’re going to help him, they have to leave Right Now. No time to send a letter or say goodbye or anything. Instant decision. And the Trio makes the mythical heroic one, the sacrificial one, but at what cost?

It takes a month to travel from Yllise to the meeting place, so all the parents were probably expecting to hear back from their future kids after like a month. And then they… didn’t.

Some of them probably keep hope. Lissa insists that she’d know if her son were gone, she’d feel it, and most believe that she thinks so but Maribelle knows she worries. And with how close Maribelle and Lissa are, Owain and Brady probably grew up together, practically brothers, and Brady’s doubts eat at him like a black hole and he cries practically every time he thinks about it, about the letters he’s never gotten, about the travels they didn’t get to have together now that the war was over, and Owain’s dead, probably, because of something stupid or heroic or both and Brady wasn’t even there to heal him, couldn’t even do that, so useless and—

Sometimes Cynthia sits with him and doesn’t try to cheer him up when he blubbers and at least once she mentions that they aren’t her kinds of heroes, but Owain always liked the type that showed up at the very last second. She’s kinda hoping he’ll still jump out at some point. Who knew being a lone hero was so lonely? She doesn’t say anything after that, and then Brady’s all out of tears.

Olivia practices dances that require two people and waits for her grown son to come home, knowing he probably won’t. Her baby isn’t big enough to dance yet, and that’s amazing and she loves this little bundle of joy and the future she’s going to have with him that another version of her didn’t reach, but she still misses Inigo. Gerome wanted to live a life of solitude with Minerva and the other wyverns and he got it. He sees the other kids the least out of anyone and he knows better than to expect anything good out of the world even with the cruelest future averted, but even he sometimes catches himself staring at his open palm, trying to remember how Inigo’s hand felt in his own when the fool was trying to convince Gerome to come back in time, please, and then when Gerome relented, in the new world Inigo was always pawing at him anyway to come visit these women or that event and—

Gerome has been stuck in the past long enough. He has to look ahead. His hand aches.

Noire was friends with Inigo and Sevena both, and maybe she had a crush on both of them, maybe. Or at least the potential for a crush. Or something adjacent to one. She loved them both so fiercely, the way only dying things loved (because they were all doomed from the start up until they weren’t), and at some point it didn’t matter if she teetered on the edge of romance or not, she loved them. Inigo always flirted with every girl under the sun but her, but it never mattered because in the end she always worried over him anyway. He never learned. And she misses the way Severa would fuss over her too. Sometimes she still wakes up in the night and wishes Severa were there to guide her, even though she’s long since past any need for hand-holding or fussing. She still wants it.

(Sometimes she makes a cake and wonders what Owain would have named it. The sugar always tastes sour those days.)

Cordelia knows better than anyone how greedy war can be, what it can take within seconds. The problem with that is that the war is supposed to be over, but she seems to have lost her daughter anyway. She’s broken her promise never to leave her daughter alone again. Maybe it’s fate; maybe Cordelia is always meant to be the lone survivor. She wishes a lot of things.

Kjelle hasn’t touched makeup since the time Severa tried to teach it to her and she forgot more important things, like how to hold a shield. Sometimes she catches herself staring at the lines of kohl on other girl’s faces and wondering what Severa would have thought, though. Usually that leads to chopping wood and practicing stances for hours on end until she can’t feel her fingers anymore. Kjelle’s never been much for words or contemplation outside the material—what would this move do against that one, is her armor the proper weight still—but she catches herself wondering what Severa would say about trinkets in the store windows more often than she would like. Laurent and Severa have always been opposits, but it worked, somehow, for them, even if it led to bickering more often than not. She forced him out of his comfort zone, and he tempered her, or so he thought. Perhaps Severa would have matured naturally with age. Laurent can come up with a thousand hypotheses now, but he’s never going to know the truth. Not anymore.

And it’s not just them, it’s everyone. It’s Nah missing chasing Inigo around when she got mad at him, though she didn’t really mean it. It’s Yarne missing Severa’s perseverance, her constant push at him to do better. It’s Lucina missing her cousin, who she always admired with the imagination she didn’t quite have and the bravery she shared with him. It’s everyone. They all miss each other in a hundred different ways, and the Trio misses them and home like a drowning man whose adapted to the ocean but can still taste the salt.

—

Uhhhh, that got sad, but anyway!! You’d bet everyone would be ECSTATIC to find Owain/Severa/Inigo alive and well. There would be many a tear. Kjelle would probably punch something. Brady would try to yell at them but he’d be sobbing too hard to actually say anything. Nah would roar with all the power of the dragon she is, and everyone’s parents would hold them hard and not want to let go. Lucina would beam and Gerome would let go of the little string of tension that had been wrapped around his heart for the past few years and Laurent would have to compose himself and Cynthia would be doing flips, and you know there’d be so much yelling. So much. The story would have to come out in bits and pieces because they’d constantly be interrupting one another, on both sides.

I’ve definitely been focusing on the sadder parts of this idea and not the happier ones, so while this answer is getting long, let me try to fix that real fast.

There’s guaranteed to be a lot of fussing over the Trio, who are now like 5 years older than when they last left and maybe? possibly? still disguised with Anankos’ magic? Maybe also that vanishes when they step through the Gate. Unknown. What is also guaranteed, however, is how much fussing the Nohrians get when visiting officially as a mixed group of royals and the Trio’s BFs/GFs.

Xander charms the pants of Olivia, hands down. He’s genuine and kind and charming, and when his back is turned, Olivia looks at her son and blushes because hot damn. Inigo picked a catch. Inigo sees her look and wants to sink into the floor, but she’s not wrong. Also he feels 12 all over again. Olivia offers to dance for him and Inigo wants to join in and he also wants to watch and he’s also too shy to want to dance in front of anybody, even just Xander and his mom, and it makes for an interesting visit for sure.

Leo passes Aunt/Other Mother Maribelle’s Scrutiny Test, but Niles, for all the effort he’s putting in to make a good impression, probably doesn’t. Owain insists Niles isn’t really that bad, he’s loyal like nothing else, and that’s at least a benefit in Maribelle’s book. She’s still suspicious of his seemingly shady character and all the effort he’s putting into looking good for her (because the fact he has to put in effort at all is suspicious to her, and it would have been suspicious if he were a prince or a farmer or anything other than a thief turned royal retainer. The only reason she can’t pin anything on Leo is because he keeps pulling out obscure knowledge to answer all her probing questions and has only the utmost manners. She’s waiting for him to make a cultural faux pas), but Owain is grown now. He can make his own decisions. Besides, if Lissa isn’t complaining, she can’t either. Lissa loves Niles and Leo both. Lissa maybe catches them unawares with the old “bucket of frogs over the doorway” trick, though. She hasn’t changed.

Cordelia’s happy to meet whoever her daughter loves, so long as they give Severa the love she deserves and pretty obviously craves. Not that Cordelia can talk, since she’s been absent from Severa’s life long enough too. She just worries like any normal mother. That Beruka girl is a little stony, but Camilla seems to have enough love for the both of them combined, even if she is a little intimidating too. Cordelia is mostly satisfied. She tries to keep her back straight when they’re looking at her, though. She’s never been one to be intimidated, but she wonders how Severa’s been faring in the seemingly dark land of Nohr. Well, if Severa has people she cares about there, she figures her daughter must be doing pretty well.

(P.S. I can do more specific reactions if there was something you had in mind! I’m not sure anyone would give a Shovel Talk because I’m not too much a fan of that trope? I feel like it disregards the agency of whoever the Talker is trying to “protect”. I’d say Kjelle might give one, but she might just end up admiring Camilla’s muscles instead. Henry might (for whoever you picture him the father of), albeit unintentionally. I think it’s canon Henry would do Literally Anything asked of him for those he loves, so I can see that fact slipping pretty easily into conversation, even accidentally.

The one most likely to intentionally pull a Shovel Talk move is Noire, probably. Against Xander, even though she likes Xander. Because Inigo never really did learn in the army, and she doesn’t know if Laslow’s learned anything yet. Probably not.)

tl;dr the Kids all Love each other So Much. They grew up together in a destroyed world and at the end of the day, they all know they always have each other, and the Trio being missing is like a hole in their hearts even when the rest of the fe13 kid cast are all on their separate travels

#my text #asks #fe13 #fe14 #long post #character death mention #this was longer and sadder than i expected but i promise i always write happy ends in the end

New Look Sabres: GM 63 - PHI - Brandon Montour

The Flyers tonight are a really tough pill to swallow. Ugly mascots that end up changing the game aside, overly optimistic Sabres fans such as myself have been looking up in the standings at who these guys can catch, rather frustratingly so as of late. With a Flyers win tonight they surprise the Sabres from behind and hop ahead of them in the standings. Can you imagine that violent, orange cookie monster impersonator surprising you from behind? Want to hear another surprise from behind, no this isn’t a sex joke: Marco Scandella paired with Brandon Montour. OH VETERAN, MY VETERAN! WHATSOEVER WOULD COACH HOUSLEY DO WITHOUT YOU! Housley’s prioritization of veteran minutes is going to be a whole paragraph in the Season Retrospective isn’t it? Yea, THE SEASON RETROSPECTIVE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN APRIL IF HE CAN’T PROPERLY UTILIZE THIS ROSTER! Ok, stop, Andrew. Optimism; remember the optimism with which you started this blog. Ugh, what different days those were. Speaking of not making the playoffs, let’s talk trash about the last team the Sabres played in the playoffs! Philadelphia, the past of this match up it that old ballad about working class cities just smashing their blue-collar lunch pals at each other as hard as possible. The world and the NHL has changed and now a playoff matchup between these two teams looks more like it would be a speed-skill bonanza then any kind of grit-for-grit hockey men party. The Sabres are building something new while the Flyers are copying the Penguins model: yeah, I said Penguins! Sabretooth wasn’t wearing pants when Gritty wasn’t even a sparkle in Jakub Voracek’s eye yet! 2011’s rematch is a going to go for the Sabres in 6, you sloppy copycats. That was fun; too bad it’s going to make this next part harder. This was the night the playoffs died. But no, you’re New Look Sabres, you preach taking a New Look at this team time and time again! How can you say its over!? Well, eight points with twenty games left will do that to you. Luckily, we’re not focusing on that tonight.

New Flyer Ryan Hartman set the tone of this game leveling Rasmus Dahlin along the boards early. Zach Bogosian and the old-time hockey alliance came crashing in like you know and instigator penalty, other penalty, whatever-whatever it panned out to nothing. Want to know why contemporary hockey fans don’t give a shit about keeping fighting in the game old boys club? It doesn’t help. At best it gives your team a moderate morale boost at worst it chops years off dudes’ lives. Whatever, it didn’t help the Sabres win this game. If the Sabres weren’t outshot each period they were certainly outplayed. By eight minutes in the Flyers were already up 2-0 on the backs of Oskar Lindblom and Jakub Voracek. Let’s get something out of the way: this loss wasn’t because of Carter Hutton. He was left out to dry and when we look back on this season their will be poetry in that. More and more every year this club is Jack Eichel and friends. Our favorite Patriots fan put this team on his back and made us believe again like Tom Brady! Ok, that was gross to write. I’m sorry you had to read that. I’m going to collect myself now. Jack Eichel did get the puck from Skinner and did toe drag a fucking bullet in there, but the period ended 2-1 and even the grossly optimistic types like me still kind of felt this crap wasn’t going to get much better. Like the cold, cruel march of time closer to death the Sabres would get scored on once they began to give us hope. 15 minutes into the second period James van Riemsdyk redirects a puck in front and gets the orange boys up 3-1. What is that? This is one of those game Casey Mittelstadt flashes the kind of brilliance we’ll get from him on the regular in a year and a half or so? Awesome, New Sabre Brandon Montour gets the play going in the defensive zone that would eventually end in Casey Mittelstadt tapping in a goal via Evan Rodrigues and Conor Sheary. 3-2 Flyers would be the high-water mark of this game for the Sabres as the only positive highlight of the third period would be Travis Sandheim doing his Sabres ten game winning streak impression and crashing the net less then a minute in to get the Flyers their two-goal lead back. Whatever whatever, Claude Giroux, whatever whatever, can you believe they eliminated Caelynn on the Bachelor, whatever whatever; Sabres lose 5-2 in regulation and give up another spot in the standings falling to a full eight points back. The Panthers might still win their game at the posting of this and they can hop over the Blue and Gold too because irony has no bounds in the season of the ten-game winning streak that saw no playoffs.

So yes, it’s not over until the fat lady sings. There is a ridiculous scenario where the Sabres win 65-75% of their remaining games to sneak into the playoffs. As I began saying last night, start cushioning the blow now, fam. Enjoy what’s left of the ride but start thinking about what’s for dinner. I’m letting my soccer side out starting now. Hell, I just posted on my politics blog for the first time in like a month. Let loose, Spring is officially 21 days away even if playoffs aren’t. However, this is not how I’m ending the blog today. No sir: we have a new player to celebrate. Brandon Montour had about as decent a game as you can have in a loosing effort on the road when your new coach insists on putting you with a negative player that is really only in because he’s been in the league for a while. I mentioned Montour being the catalyst of the Mittelstadt goal play earlier, but Montour made some good moves in this game. He broke up a lot of opposition passes in the defensive zone, more than you expected before with this Sabres defense. For all you suburban hockey dads he also laid out a decent hit or two in the third period that feels right in a game against the Flyers. He made his mistakes too, struggling in the offensive zone shortly before the JVR goal. Nonetheless Montour is a clear addition to this team and if shit ever gets better here for a Sabres fan I have a feeling #62 will be a part of it. This one just hurt, and I very much look forward to turning my attention to the Rochester Americans for tomorrow’s Amerks Angle update. I’ll be discussing banners in that one so if you need a palette cleanser check back tomorrow.

In fact, cross-promotion city here because how long can we talk about this dreadful team, if you got an eye for Soccer, I have a whole soccer blog at Rochester Rhinos Outsider if you want to check in on that. I also have a politics blog but let’s keep it in the sports family for right now. Right now: I just want you to like, share and drop a comment on this post. Let’s commiserate together because now, with the deadline past this is the bed we’re sleeping in from now until April 6th, fam. I’d love to hear from you. If you’ve read this far you probably won’t mind a conversation with me either. Reply or @ me on twitter or DM on twitter or Tumblr. If you’re only on this blog because I posted that neat little graph last night, stick around, there’s another one of those coming Saturday! No matter what you’re here for, it’s the Sabres that brought us all together and no matter how ass they maybe they can’t take that from us! Let’s Go Buffalo!

Thanks for reading.

P.S. In all the busy-ness of the last few days I forgot to mention Kyle Okposo is back already. Evidently his concussion was only slightly worse than Jeff Skinner’s ankle injury and he’s already back! I like to think fan support helped that along.

jjong, my love, we have a problem.

ah yes, now you’re listening. i say this to you because not only have i talked to you the most about this situation, but i trust you with everything. you always listen my love and i told you a lot of it when you wore your red suit the other night but tonight it is even worse.

i am probably maybe almost definitely meeting sam in a bit more than a week and i still haven’t told her i like her yet.

when i finally meet her i want to kiss her. i want to hold her hand and hug her and be all cute but with the time running out i think the possibility of that is very unlikely unless i say something soon. like soon soon. like now.

but here’s the thing with that: i don’t wanna screw things up.

here’s my dilemma. i like sam a lot, and i want to be with her (again, i guess). i’m meeting her soon and that will probably be the only time for a while that i will meet her, which means i have to make the most of it. i want to, and i have for a while, tell her about my feelings and that i like her in hopes that she possibly feels the same. but, if she doesn’t, it would pretty much screw everything up between us, friendship included. if i tell her and she doesn’t feel the same before we meet, it’ll be awkward and risk our chances of meeting at all. if i don’t and we meet with me having the secret, i’ll lose out on an opportunity i might never get again.

but if i tell her and she feels the same, it could be magical.

how do i decide that?

i’m so afraid of rejection and i’m afraid to love that i can’t even take chances anymore because i’m so terrified that it’ll go wrong. sam is one of my closest friends and if i lost her i’d be quite empty to be completely honest. i’d lose charlie and brady too, which is also something i don’t want to do.

so i have to make that decision for myself.

still, some part of me believes she feels the same. theres a huge part of me that i feel in my gut that says her secret is that she likes me, and even if that isn’t her secret, she does anyway. why else would she talk to me so often? why else would we speak the way we do? why else would we ft often and such?

maybe i’m just delusional. but still, i don’t want to miss out on possibly the best time of my life. first kiss, first hand holding with someone i had feelings for, first time taking someone on a date to my favorite place and being cute. so many firsts that could happen if i just say it.

but so many ends that could happen from the same thing.

i need some guidance, bub. a sign, a message, a dream, a vision, i don’t care send me the number 222 somewhere or something just please point me in the right direction because right now i really don’t know what to do.

so many pros and cons but if i don’t take a risk i could regret it forever, yet if i do i could wanna go back forever.

i just wish i didn’t have to make this decision in the first place.

until next time, love. you did well.

NFL 2018 predictions: our writers call the winners, losers and also-rans

New Post has been published on https://writingguideto.com/must-see/nfl-2018-predictions-our-writers-call-the-winners-losers-and-also-rans/

NFL 2018 predictions: our writers call the winners, losers and also-rans

Will the Eagles repeat? Will Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck return to restore their teams fortunes? And who will go down in flames?

Best team that won’t make the playoffs

The part I feel confident in saying is that it will come from the NFC. Teams from that conference won 41 out of 64 games against AFC opponents in 2017 and trades like the one that sent Khalil Mack from Oakland to Chicago are hardly redressing the balance. Theres a lot of hype around the Giants after they upgraded the line and added Saquon Barkley, but Im not convinced they can bridge the gap in a year when the schedule looks grim. PB

Green Bay Packers. The thing about the Packers is that we don’t know how healthy Aaron Rodgers will be. If he’s playing like the Rodgers of old, they’re absolutely making the playoffs. If he struggles, the Packers probably end up having a losing record. Let’s split the difference here and say that Rodgers will be good, but not dominant, and Green Bay just miss the postseason. HF

Jacksonville. Jason Mendozas favorite team had the leagues easiest schedule during last years charmed run, their division is much-improved and their quarterback is Blake Bortles. No sale. BAG

The Lions will be balanced and explosive. They finally have a talented offensive line, featuring, at worst, an above-average player at every spot. Thats a decided advantage given the state of groups across the league. Matthew Stafford is surrounded by a stack of weapons, too. Defense will be their fatal flaw: the Lions lack speed up front. In the modern NFL, such things matter. OC

Non-playoff team from last year that will make the postseason

With a healthy Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are a safe bet to be contenders once more. PB

After trading for Jimmy Garoppolo last season, the 49ers ended their season on a 5-0 run. They thought the bounce was real enough to sign him to a historic five-year, $137.5m contract. Time will tell whether he ends up being more “next big hype” than “next big hope,” but it’s hard to see them missing out on the playoffs if he plays like he did at the end of last season. HF

Green Bay. The Packers were among the NFCs best teams last year when Aaron Rodgers went down for the season with a broken collarbone. They finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Theyll be back. BAG

The Texans would have made the postseason last year were it not for Deshaun Watsons injury. Health will be the issue again this season. If they can keep their stars on the field Watson, JJ Watt, and Jadeveon Clowney they will enter the playoffs as one of the top seeds in the AFC. OC

MVP

The Packers should be a force again if Aaron Rodgers stays fit. Photograph: Jeffrey Phelps/AP

Aaron Rodgers made no secret at his sadness over the Packers decision to part ways with Jordy Nelson, but in Jimmy Graham he has a new red-zone target to enjoy. Im expecting a big year from the quarterback as he bounces back from the injury that kept him out for most of the 2017 season. PB

Jimmy Garoppolo. At this point in NFL history, we assume that the MVP will be a quarterback. If my earlier prediction that Garoppolo will drag the 49ers to the playoffs practically by himself pans out, then he gets serious MVP consideration. It’s also possible that the league has added incentive to hand the award to the current 49ers quarterback just to spite the former 49ers quarterback currently making the NFL’s life difficult. HF

Rodgers. How lucky for Green Bay the best player in the sport plays the most important position. Every year hes healthy, the Packers are among the last teams standing in January. BAG

Andrew Luck! He will bounce back to pre-injury levels, leading to all sorts of hyperbole and hardware. Luck is playing on the worst roster in a tough division. If he can drag the Colts to the postseason, he will have earned the award. OC

Rookie of the year

Saquon Barkley is the obvious choice, for both talent and opportunity in a Giants offense that has been so long without a viable running game. So just to be contrary, Ill take Broncos pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who looked sharp in preseason and should not face too many double teams with Von Miller lined up on the other side. PB

The Giants picked Barkley second overall in this years draft, something which is nearly unheard of considering how running backs are typically valued in the modern NFL. Given where the Giants drafted him, they expect that Barkley will start producing immediately and, if he does, its possible that he will run away with rookie of the year honors. HF

Barkley. The Giants will be terrible again but they have a top-five offense on paper and the Penn State career all-purpose yards leader will be responsible for a lions share of it. BAG

Given his position and the market he plays in, I think this is Sam Darnolds award to lose. However, I think the two most impactful rookies will be Denzel Ward (CB, Browns) and Josh Jackson (CB, Packers). Jackson has an outside shot of clinching the award because hell be playing in big-time games on the national stage, a requirement for non-quarterbacks or running backs. And hes more likely to top young corners in the big metrics: interceptions, passes defended etc. OC

Johnny Manziel Disaster Waiting To Happen Dept

A team playing in a city that wants to sue it? Yes, this can only end well. PB

We’re going to see the end of the Roger Goodell Era. At a certain point, there will be enough public pressure on Goodell from all sides that he realizes it’s just not worth it to remain as NFL commissioner. Maybe it will happen because of how he’s handling the anthem controversy. Maybe it will happen when yet another star player gets caught committing a horrific act of abuse and the league’s response ends up being appallingly inadequate. Whatever it is, it feels like at some point this season, an overwhelmed Goodell is going to accept a “golden parachute” offer and make a hasty but profitable exit. May God have mercy on whoever ends up having to clean up his mess. HF

Theres no fun in being right about these things. But trouble never seems to be far behind Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston, whos already starting the season on a three-game suspension for allegedly groping an Uber driver. BAG

How about Johnny Manziel. Look at the state of back-up quarterbacks around the league. Somebody is going to talk themselves into Manziel at some point during the season, particularly if we get a spate of injuries. Manziel will suit up for at least one drive this season. It wont go well. OC

One bold prediction

Will Tyrod Taylor remain the Browns starting quarterback? Photograph: Ron Schwane/AP

The Colts will make the postseason. OK, this prediction relies entirely on Andrew Luck staying healthy, but in seasons when he starts 15 or more games, Indianapolis have gone 11-5, 11-5, 11-5, 8-8. People forget quite what a game-changer he is. Yes, there are lots of questions elsewhere on this roster, and his health is far from a certainty. But Frank Reich is a fine offensive coach, and the Colts did at least try to upgrade the pass protection this offseason. I can see a path to nine or 10 wins for this team in a shallow AFC. PB

This is going to sound like heresy here in New England, but there’s a very real chance we see Tom Brady, who just turned 41, decline this season. No we haven’t seen significant signs of trouble yet but, as we saw with Peyton Manning, when the end comes in the NFL, it comes quick. HF

The tricked-out Los Angeles Rams are coming off an 11-5 season and have emerged as a trendy Super Bowl pick, but theyll be doomed by a lack of chemistry and miss the playoffs as the San Francisco 49ers win NFC West. BAG

Jacksonville trade for Tyrod Taylor.Cleveland will start the season with Taylor at quarterback, but Baker Mayfield is primed to takeover. The Browns will use the first few weeks of the season to pump-up Taylors trade value. Taylor represents an upgrade over Bortles. If the Jacksonville quarterback struggles early, the Jags should seek a deal. OC

This year, the anthem protests will…

Be misrepresented by opponents as a protest against the national anthem and/or American values. PB

Continue to be the biggest storyline in football. It’s clear that the NFL’s attempts to determine the proper punishment for protesting players just reignited the controversy. It’s going to be another long season for the “stick to sports” crowd. HF

Make national headlines beyond the sports page as Trump hits the campaign trail to stump for his endorsees ahead of the midterm elections, which take place right after the seasons halfway mark. BAG

Lead to the decertification of the NFLPA. At this point, it feels like its the players only option if they want to make significant, long lasting changes. The NFLs middle class is declining. Elite players smartly used holdouts this preseason to get major paydays. Rookie contracts are as valuable and cost-effective as ever. Players in the middle, still the majority of the league, continue to lose their leverage. That, plus the bad will towards the owners and commissioner, could lead the players towards a drastic step. OC

AFC East champ

The Patriots. Again. PB

Even if Brady does lose a step or two in the upcoming season, it shouldn’t be enough to prevent the Patriots from winning their division. Bill Belichick is still the head coach and the competition in the AFC East once again doesn’t look likely to provide much competition. HF

New England. Weve seen cracks in the Brady-Belichick-Kraft triumvirate over the past two years and the three-time MVP quarterback, who turned 41 last month, will inevitably slow down at some point. But the baked-in advantage of a trash division all but ensures a 15th AFC East title in 17 seasons for the Patriots. BAG

Nobody in AFC East has caught up with the Patriots yet. New Englands biggest flaw in the past couple of years has been speed in the front-seven. They added Adrian Clayborn in free agency and see Derek Rivers return, an edge-rusher who missed his rookie season with a knee injury. Those names might not mean a great deal to you right now, but they are improvements to the weakest part of an already loaded team. OC

AFC North champ

Antonio Browns Steelers are the team to beat in the AFC North. Photograph: Don Wright/AP

Between LeVeon Bells extended holdout, the Ryan Shazier-shaped hole in the middle of the defense and Ben Roethlisbergers 14 seasons of wear and tear, it is no foregone conclusion that the Steelers retain their division crown. But if the running back does return to the field in time for week one, then they will once again be hard to beat. PB

This might be the toughest call in the AFC, as the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens should both be equally tough outs, no matter who they’re playing. The Steelers, however, just seem like a scarier team. Maybe the edge is that Roethlisberger has that uncanny knack of completing plays despite being pulled apart by the opposing defense while Joe Flacco is Joe Flacco. HF

Pittsburgh. Anyone but the Steelers, where bona fide stars Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Bell (maybe) will feature, would be a surprise after winning four of the last five AFC North titles, although an improved Baltimore side will likely challenge for a wild-card spot. BAG

Im all for the excitement in Cleveland. The team has youth, talent, and exciting players on both sides of the ball. Baltimore may have the top defense in the league; at any rate its the most versatile. And keep an eye on Cincinnati. The Bengals are sliding under-the-radar. They have as fearsome a pass-rush as anyone, and just enough explosiveness on offense to make opponents worry. Still, this is the Steelers division to lose. The only thing I can see derailing Pittsburgh is another injury to Roethlisberger. OC

AFC South champ

Ive already made my case for the Colts as a more competitive team than many have predicted. Houston ought to be stronger, too, with Deshaun Watson and JJ Watt both back from injury. Tennessee won nine games last year and made useful additions on either side of the ball in Dion Lewis and Malcolm Butler. The Jaguars are still my pick, though, thanks to that suffocating D. PB

This division feels like it’s going to go down to who manages to have a comeback player of the year caliber season. If Luck plays like a franchise quarterback again, the Colts have the edge. If Watt plays like the force he once was, the Texans could take control of the division. I like Watt’s chances. HF

Houston. The emerging star Watson should pick up where he left off before getting injured last year. Watt is back, too. Throw in the additions of Tyrann Mathieu and Aaron Colvin and the Texans should have enough to overtake the Jaguars. BAG

With Watson back in the fold and a star-studded defense at every level, the Texans have the makings of a division champion. There are issues around the edges: Houstons offensive line has less talent than any in the league; depth on defense is an issue. Health will likely be the deciding factor. OC

AFC West champ

With a competent kicking game, the Chargers might have taken the division last year. It is no guarantee that Caleb Sturgis can provide it, but his modest 81% career success rate is still a great deal better than the 66% achieved by a hapless cast in 2017. PB

The Chiefs season may come down to how good Patrick Mahomes ends up being in his first full year at quarterback, but this feels like a team that can pick up enough wins in the regular season to capture the division and then go on to suffer an Andy Reid-assisted flameout in their first playoff game. HF

The Chargers. Philip Rivers is back at the stick of last years top-ranked passing offense and the defense is better than it gets credit for. They finished strong, winning nine of their last 12 games after going winless in September. It should be enough to end Kansas Citys two-year reign atop the division. BAG

Preseason injuries have tortured the Chargers, again. Still, LA are poised for a deep playoff run They still have the top edge-rushing duo in the league, a great secondary and a seasoned quarterback. OC

NFC East champ

When will Carson Wentz return to the field? Can he perform at the same MVP level that he achieved before his injury last year? Does it really matter, given that the Eagles won the Super Bowl with Nick Foles anyway, and beefed up an imposing defensive line rotation with Michael Bennett and Haloti Ngata since then? PB

The reigning world champions should be the favorites to once again to win their division. It will be interesting to see how things go with Wentz set to take the reins back from Foles, but that probably goes into the category of Good Problems To Have. HF

Philadelphia. Its been 13 years since a team in the NFLs glamour division has won it twice in a row, but theres every reason to believe the Eagles will break the schneid. Theyre deep on both lines, theyve added a couple nice pieces on defense (including Michael Bennett and Sidney Jones) and Wentz was playing at an MVP level until he went down to injury. BAG

The Eagles should go back-to-back. They have an embarrassment of riches all over the field. Watch for second-year cornerback Sidney Jones. He missed his entire rookie year with an achilles injury. If he bounces back to his pre-injury level, he will be an instant star. Of course, all this presupposes that Wentz returns in week three. If not, Philly will be in trouble. OC

NFC North champ

The Vikings won 13 games last season and believe they will be better with Kirk Cousins behind center and a healthy Dalvin Cook in the backfield. But as long as the Packers have an upright Aaron Rodgrs, theyre going to be hard to pick against. PB

It feels weird picking the team that will be starting Cousins over the team starting Rodgers, but the latter is a question mark and Minnesota feel like they are going to win out thanks to the talent they have on the defensive end of the ball. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if the division comes down to tiebreakers, however. HF

Minnesota. One could argue the splashy addition of free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a team coming off a 13-3 campaign made the Vikings the NFLs most complete team. But the Packers, benefitting from the return of Rodgers and a revamped defense, will push them till the end. BAG

This is a true toss-up. The Bears trading for Khalil Mack changes the entire dynamic of the division. Vic Fangio is coming for Mike Zimmers best-defense-in-the-division crown. Chicago are young and have lethal speed at every level of its defense. Out in Green Bay, theres that Aaron Rodgers guy to deal with. And you cant rule out the Lions making a run, either. On balance, though, I like the Vikings chances. Theyre the more proven team on either side of the ball. Kirk Cousins represents an upgrade over Case Keenum at quarterback. Dalvin Cook returning from injury will help push Minnesota over the top. OC

NFC South champ

Will Drew Brees win another Super Bowl as his career winds down? Photograph: Gerald Herbert/AP

Hey, remember how the Saints were one miracle play away from going to the NFC Championship game last year? Yeah, they really havent lost a lot of pieces since. This will be another very competitive division, but a team that can turn to Drew Brees when the running game isnt working, rather than the other way around, is a team in very rude health indeed. PB

The Saints signed Brees to a two-year extension back in March with the hope that he had at least one more season of playing like Drew Effing Brees in him. While he’s eyeing records held by legends like Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, one has to think that his goal will be returning to the Super Bowl. It’s not out of the question. HF

Former MVP Matt Ryan leads an Atlanta Falcons offense featuring an embarrassment of riches, among them Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Mohamed Sanu, Austin Hooper and Justin Hardy. No shortage of playmakers on defense, either. New Orleans and Carolina should contend but look for the Falcons to contend for the NFCs top overall seed. BAG

I have no confidence in this pick. I love the offense that has been put together in New Orleans. But I still dont entirely trust all the young pups on defense. Granted, I hardly trust Steve Sarkisian calling plays for Atlantas offense, but I trust it a little more. Side note: I think Tampa have the potential to be a true dumpster fire. OC

NFC West champ

Ive picked Gurley and Donald to win player of the year awards already. It feels like a stretch to suggest that anyone other than the Rams would win this division if they do. PB

Could the Rams end up being good enough this season to actually get Los Angeles to buy into them? Maybe not, but they have the opportunity to stay in the public consciousness long enough that people stop forgetting that they no longer play in St Louis. HF

The 49ers started 1-10 before Jimmy Garoppolo got a chance under center and closed out with five straight wins. If the Rams bold gamble to reach the Super Bowl doesnt pay off, look for the Niners to take advantage. BAG

The Rams have transformed the nature of the NFC West in a couple of years thanks to a pair of coaching hires (Sean McVay and Wade Phillips) and a raft of free-agent moves and trades. Do win-now moves always work out? No. But the Rams were smart with who they targeted this offseason. They reenforced strengths and improved upon weakness. Their secondary reads like an All-Pro list. Their defensive line is even better. The 49ers will push them close, but ultimately the Rams have too much quality to disappoint. OC

Super Bowl LIII

Rams over Patriots. After becoming the NFLs youngest head coach in modern history, and then the youngest coach of the year, Sean McVay completes the set by becoming the youngest to win a Super Bowl as well. Better yet, he does it against the most successful of them all. PB

Steelers over Saints. Old guy quarterback showdown! Roethlisberger will be 36. Brees will be 40! As a game, however, it might end up being anticlimactic. One can imagine Brees burying Pittsburgh in touchdowns, picking up MVP honors and announcing his retirement live on television. At least that’s the Hollywood ending, we should know by now that Super Bowl games rarely follow the script. HF

Eagles over Patriots. Its down to Carson Wentz, really. But if Philadelphias third-year quarterback makes a full recovery from his knee injury and can regain the MVP form he showed during his breakout sophomore campaign (where he threw for 33 touchdowns against only seven interceptions), the Eagles will become the first team in more than a decade to repeat as Super Bowl champions. BAG

Vikings over Patriots. Dumping Case Keenum for Kirk Cousins pays off. The Vikings skill-positions are as talented as any group in the league. Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen might be the best two-man receiving tandem around. Dalvin Cook is a special talent. Add that offense to a top-tier defense and you have a potent championship formula. I have the Patriots suffering another heartbreaker in the Super Bowl. There are concerns with their receiving group and offensive tackle spots. But they still have Brady at the peak of his powers, and a potentially frisky defense that has filled in its holes. No other team in the AFC has the same proven quality. OC

October 2018 Blurbs

10/1/18 31 Nights of Halloween, Freeforms inheritence from its previous incarnations, other than the mandated 700 Club. The month between seasons, otherwise known as candy city. Stockholm Syndrome from Willies departure may be setting in as we had a large truck and only 4 of us to do it. I shouldnt be missing his prescence but somehow i am. Remedy is needed soon. 10/2/18 Im A Christmas Guy, love giving gifts out and decorating. Have done so annually for 16 years and it always starts within the first few days of October as i unblock my Holiday themed movie and TV Shows on digital. Looking forward to the next few weeks especially. Brewers NLDS starts Thursday! 10/3/18 The old tutalige of when it rains it pours, reared its ugly head. Flat by Old El Rancho. That really screws things up for me. Hoping for Miracle. 10/4/18 Well, day minus the Brewers coming back, was a bust. Tire was flat. Hoping I can get it either possibly fixed or a cheap replacement. Wondering how ill get to the store tomorrow. 10/5/18 Apparently massive flu spreading around as Mom picked up whatever Dad was sick with. Ended up replacing tire, but with brand new one. Hopeful not mistake. Also affected things at WallyWorld as Linda and Tyler were feeling cruddy. Hopeful I dont get it. Brewers win and truck got fixed. Still undecided on Venom or Gaga for movie on Saturday. 10/6/18 Ended up going with Gaga and was pleasently stunned by both her and Bradley Cooper. Movie was wonderful and that ending was rough, picked up soundtrack to boot. Sort of took longer than I anticipated coming back from EC thanks to BlueGolds Homecoming. Boy colleges take that far more seriously than High School. Panera for dinner was a great alternative as well. 13th Doctor tomorrow before work! FLCL on the other hand...I'll never say the C word to anyone, but Pets was definetly the C Word to Kana. 10/7/18 Man that was emberassing to watch. Green Bay actually played so lousy I watched Doctor Who, and loved the female 13th looking forward to more of her. Final Season of Walking dead also premired. Wonder how Ricks going out. Gunner and his partner are really intolerable. Reporting that asap, the store is not a place for thier private spats. 10/8/18 Columbus getting squeezed out of his own day is the most PC thing that I can get on board with. Nobody gives a crap about the whole Sailed the ocean blue in 1492 thing anymore. Stuff to do including assignments that I have to go to the library to finish. Hoping internet will be back sooner rather than later. 10/9/18 Woke up to flashing lights by house and realized power line got taken down by tree that Dad had pointed out. A bit more broke than I anticipated. Stuff here i have to do anyway and thankfully work will limit my having to go anywhere. Really could use $300 to pay Patti. Brewers will take on Dodgers in NLCS starting Friday. Mad that Conan for all intent and purpose has been cancelled, adpating is one thing but this is a glorified cancellation. 10/10/18 Rain city continues...Puddles in Bravada. On top of it its getting colder. Winter isnt here yet, but the white ravens are taking flight. 10/11/18 Now comes the cold, and first snow of the year. We had it all today cold, wind, sun and snow. 10/12/18 Store gave me a first look at my future. Gaurantee work on Sunday Monday and Friday every week unless i say so. Which other than one day may be saying much. Could use more variety than that. Also stinks NLCS is on when im working. Pulling for Dodgers in at least 1 game so I can see game 5 on wednesday at least. 10/13/18 They have been hyping the crap out of inventory for the past 3 weeks. Now i see why, Clint made a rare Saturday appearance at the store. Hopeful for the next few days. Got my prediction right about game 5 on Wednesday so thats good. Kanye is nuts as usual, and Kana gave me the best reason yet to finally move forward on the FLCL finale. Cold week ahead. 10/14/18 Andrew and his little notes are getting out of hand. Got called in to do truck early as Inventory closes in on Tuesday. Clint on the other hand, i know ive got to not walk off for a few seconds but he really needs to chill for a bit especially cause we both used to be pushing carts in the first months of the store he should know my rhtyms by now. Stinks about Pete Davidson though, really hope he can recover cause i liked him and Ariana as a couple. Rather unfortunate that they split cause she couldnt deal with her ex commiting suicide. 10/15/18 A missing person is a big deal, when you happen to know someone who is related to said missing person, then you know its huge. Jayme Closs, the cousin of Brody being abducted after her parents were gunned down, sad for all. My only issue is brody reatcing to everyones sympathies, overkill a bit. The other issue i have is the amber alert system that can be sent out to phones. With Trumps ability to text everyone in the country I witnessed a bunch of people who got the alert yesterday complain about it, the others who thought she killed them and fled are the bigger morons. Hopefully shes found safe. Other than that, good night for Wisconsin Sports, Brewers are 2 Out from pennant and Rodgers did his thing once again. 10/16/18 Boring first part of shift as we did basically nothing due to the inventory. But at least the night managed to salvage itself. Dodgers really play dirty. 10/17/18 Nose began to stuff itself again. Bunch of classwork for 2 weeks as i get the inservice day. Milwaukee gave another one away. Hoping Game 6 on Friday will be a turnaround. 10/18/18 Rare thursday day, nose still stuffed. 10/19/18 Library day as i caught up on work, and finally watched A Chrsitmas Story to its ending. A classic, yes just don't feel that strongly about it. Big game from the Crew forcing Game 7. 10/20/18 This day was nuts, a quick 25 minute snowcase that gave way to sunny conditions by noon. Saw Venom, didn't get why it was hated. Quite enjoyable dyanmic and She-Venom was the highlight of it all. Dodgers unfortuantley took the pennant. Great season overall for Milwaukee just bummed my streak of picking the world series winner at the All Star game ended at 4. Also tide pods finally used them, no wonder people ate them they're great for clothes. 10/21/18 First day ever that i skipped NFL Games. Neat concept. 10/22/18 Very long strech of store coming up, especially given that Today we only had 3 total. 10/23/18 Held off on grabbing Mamma Mia 2 Blu Ray. Mainly due to gas situation that had Bravada dying near tracks. I got to figure cash situation out to pay off people. 10/24/18 Lone day off before Halloween. No class today so that made things better. Master Mode on Zelda getting easier to figure out. Did reset on iPhone and Kindle, should fix lone bugs. Really want to play RDR2 and Spiderman PS4. World Series from what I can tell is shaping up as a sweep. Also, whole reason I began watching Sunny aired tonight. First of 2 Part Super Bowl Episode. Charlie in a Bear Trap drinking pee, eww! 10/25/18 First of 6 in a row backwise. The Halloween episodes on TV Usually do wonders for me, not this time. I know this is the final season of Big Bang Theory but Sheldon not realizing how irritating he sounds to others after 12 years and so much maturing seems not the right way to do it. Especially seeing his wife irrate Bernadette. 10/26/18 2nd night, the wheels i dont think feel off, but the were more loose than usual. Hour to set up, hour work, break, 30 minutes to unload hvdc and then didn't finish til after 6. When your down numbers wise you can certainly feel it. FYI The crap with the MAGA Bomber made me mad enough to likely stay off social media until after the election, that made it my breaking point. RWBY Season Premire Tomorrow! 10/27/18 Rooster Teeth First free trial, worth it for watching a great primire that perfectly sets up what comes. My point who is that woman with the Maz Kanata eyewear? Wisconsin stinks. 10/28/18 My issue with the whole core hours thing involves me working on days i know theres something i should be doing. Such as watching the packers. Almost beating LA, hopeful they can actually do that against Brady. 10/29/18 That blue wave better close in next week cause, another shooting and another predictable Trump response occurred. Hate crimes abound in his america. 10/30/18 Last in the back, October really came and went this year. Only thing bad about not working Halloween is the dressup im missing out on. Adam in drag would have been a hoot. 10/31/18 Darkness Falls Across the Land...You Know the rest. Halloween. This day is one back 20 Years ago i would openly love. At least the Candy is still around, albiet smaller and more sugary. Nowadays this day has me DVR'ing all the major shows to see what costumes get put on. Spoiler Alert only episodes of ATH And PTI that I happily record all year. When it comes to applying for scholarships however thats where it blurrs. WITC is really biased against those in the outreach sites hoping i can get help tomorrow when i visit. November came too quickly but, I get to see my nephew in 2 Weeks!
