Restless Rewatch: The Untamed Episode 41, part two
(Masterpost) (Pinboard) Â (whole thing on AO3)
Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!
Nie Mingjue and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Empathy continues, jumping to Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue's encounter in Nightless City. Once again, let's look at how we saw it the first time around.
In Episode 22, Nie Mingjue unwisely decided to do a stealth advance push on Nightless City, as if "stealth" and "Nie Mingjue" ever belonged in a sentence together. After his inevitable capture, Meng Yao rocks up and says hey.
We cut away to the battle outside and then come back inside where NMJ hits MY with a palm strike.
Meng Yao actually expresses anger for once, knocking NMJ over with a kick, and yelling at him for being rude in front of MY's new boss, Wen Ruohan.
NMJ comes after him again but Wen Ruohan gets involved and the fight turns into NMJ vs. WRH until Nie Mingjue is knocked out. He ends up on the floor surrounded by dead or unconscious Nie cultivators; we don't see, at this time, how they got that way.
(More behind the cut!)
In Episode 41: the encounter in front of Wen Ruohan starts the same way, but Meng Yao taunts Nie Mingjue, fondles his shoulder, and then kills a couple of his wingmen.
Meng Yao--Wen Yao?--has never looked better. He's still rocking Nie braids and Nie colors - with a nice snake pattern trimming his robe. I'd like to say this is evidence of his snakey nature, but the idea that snakes are bad and sneaky is a biblical concept, not a Chinese one.
Anyway the important thing about his look here is that his makeup is gorgeous and his demeanor is totally confident. Unfortunately I can't find the tumblr post that talks about his sassy ex-boyfriend energy in this scene, but it was a wise observation.
Nie Mingjue's sidekicks provoke Meng Yao into killing them - one by insulting the hall they're in, and the next by calling him čľ°ç-- literally "running dog," but Viki translates it as "lackey."
"Lackey" is a little insulting but it's basically a job description, whereas Meng Yao's reaction to being called "running dog" is more like the way people react to being called "boot licker" in English. I'm not saying it should be translated this way, however - feet have a whole lot of meanings across cultures. I think it could have just been translated "running dog" because by 41 episodes into this show, we have learned that calling someone a dog is rude and insulting, thank you Wen Chao.
Anyhoo, after Meng Yao kills the second dude he asks if anyone else wants to call him čľ°ç, and Nie Mingjue immediately does. Meng Yao just smiles and has his own lackeys bring Baxia, in a fancy box, to him.
Then he fondles the blade while explaining that he's been spending some quality time with it. Nie Mingjue watches helplessly, unwilling to beg but afraid of whatever's going to happen.
Meng Yao tells him that his Dad's sword was better than his, and asks him to guess how many times WRH will have to strike Baxia to break it. I'm saying "strike," but Viki translates it as "smack" and Netflix translates it as "spank," with questionable results. How many times WILL Wen Ruohan spank it, I wonder?
Meng Yao taunts him some more: Wen Ruohan broke NMJ's father's saber and sent it back to him, which caused him to die of anger. He says this while getting up in NMJ's space and putting on an expression of ecstacy.
NMJ hits him, since that's his solution to everything; Meng Yao gets mad and kicks Nie Mingjue to the floor. It's not clear to me why Meng Yao talks so much shit if he doesn't want to get hit.
Aftermath
The confrontation where Xichen protects Meng Yao is the same as episode 23, up to a point. Nie Mingjue wakes up in Lan Xichen's manly arms and has a moment of happiness before seeing Meng Yao standing by holding Baxia.
NMJ goes to attack him but Lan Xichen protects Meng Yao and explains his whole spying gig -- calling him A-Yao, which has gotta chap Nie Mingjue's ass.
Lan Xichen can block a blow from Baxia one-handed. Hot.
There's a nice parallel here, where Meng Yao uses Lan Xichen as a human shield, similar to Wei Wuxian using Lan Wangji to protect him from Fairy in Episode 34.
Wei Wuxian is, of course, way more handsy about it.
Meng Yao passive-aggressively tells Lan Xichen that he didn't explain his actions because that big meanie Nie Mingjue wouldn't have believed him anyway, and then he kneels in front of Nie Mingjue. That's as much as we got of that whole encounter, in Episode 23.
In Episode 41, after Meng Yao kneels, he explains his situation and said that he only said all that dickish stuff to Nie Mingjue to gain Wen Ruohan's trust, and he's sorry about hurting his feelings.
Nie Mingjue says how about you kneel to those dudes you killed.
Lan Xichen tells Nie Mingjue that yes, A-Yao did horrible things, but I believe that in his heart he⌠we don't hear the rest because Nie Mingjue interrupts by destroying a lantern, but we don't need to hear the rest because it's the same thing Lan Xichen says all the fucking time; it's become his core belief in the years since.
Meng Yao is surprised that it's the lantern that died and not him, but Nie Mingjue is in an impossible situation. Meng Yao has recruited Xichen so completely to his side that if Nie Mingjue wants to stay friends with LXC, he has to accept Meng Yao . You can see in his face that he knows he's beat.
Continued in part 3!

I should not have to explain to Peter x Gwen shippers that Gwen is not Peter's property. Gwen is allowed to date anyone she wants, including Miles.
Gwen Stacy spent 41 years being known as nothing other than Spidey's dead girlfriend. The Spider-Gwen comics were created to give her some agency and allow her to be her own character. She does not belong to Peter. She doesn't have to date him either.
And this is coming from someone who ships both PeterxGwen and MilesxGwen. The amazing spiderman series had the best and most complex romance in the live action spider man series. And Miles and Gwen in the Spider-Verse movies have a very well written slow burn and make an adorable pair. You can ship both. You don't have to hate one because you like the other more.
They're not the same characters. Different versions. They don't have to have the same stories. Hell, they shouldn't. We don't need a retelling of the same love story every single time.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk. And thank you to anyone who sees Gwen as her own person.

honeysuckleâs & huckleberryâs
Cowboy!Joel (41) X F!Reader (25) | 4.7k | wip | explicit | 18+ minors dni | enemies to lovers | slow burn | au: no cordyceps outbreak
After four years away at collage, youâre finally home with the tools and knowledge to save your family ranch. That is, if their ranch hand would stay out of your way.
Or: Ranch hand Joel doesnât know how to handle the return of his bosses prodigy daughter, her snarky little attitude, or her sinfully tight jeans.
a/n: phew this chapter was hard to write because all i want it for them to kiss already. these two are so at each others throats that i cant WAIT to write that in the form of the devils tango. please let me know what you guys think, comments fuel my desire to writeđ¤

Chapter 2: Northern Attitude
Three days of bad weather pass before Joel is able to get the truck out of the snow to drag your car out of the embankmentâbut he chooses not to anyway. Heâs spent the last three days working and avoiding you, because he canât keep his head from spouting off about how much you piss him off and how good you look doing it.
And piss him off, you do. The morning after your first night home, Joel was shoveling off the steps and the front driveway when you came out of the house in a pair of pants that look like they have been in your closet for years because god damn, they are tight. He doesnât miss the look on your face when you find your way into the snow where heâs working. âLike my stupid fucking shoes? I wore them so Iâd look nice when I saw my parentsâthought there was some delicious cowboy here to impress. But now they are all I have to wear because some bullheaded asshole left my car on the side of the road with all of my belongings in it.â
Him, being the bullheaded asshole instead of the delicious cowboy. Heâs fuming, if he wasnât already panting, heâs sure there would be steam rolling out of his ears right about now. He can't stand you. Cant stand your cocky attitude and the way you hold your hands on your hipâsâthose sexy little fuckingâJoel! âShould have known better than to show up in the middle of winter in those damn heels. You did that to yourself. You should know the only thing youâre findinâ here is cow shit and snow.â You cross your arms and look over his shoulder. âYeahânothing but bullshit here.â He turns to find Tommy, his eyes on your figure in your stupidly tight outfit, heâd always been the bolder of the two. âNice shoesâŚyâknow, they do seem practical, youâre a few inches above the cold, yâknow? Donât ya think, Joel?â You smile at him and Joel sees red, that trading asshole. âYâknow, I was still gonna pull you out, bullheaded asshole here was the one who insisted we leave you.â
If Joel was a better man, heâd tell his brother to fuck offâbut heâs not, so he socks him in the mouth and gives him a nasty bruise and a split lip. Both of you hightail it away from the driveway and Joel gets back to his shoveling.
Since that day, itâs been a non-stop onslaught of demeaning remarks. You sneer at him when you pass him in the halls, so he sticks to the hunting cabin he and Tommy occupy for a whole day. When he comes in for supper, you sneer at him again. âWhat, do you just hide out all day, doing jack shit?â He started this, he knows that, and there isnât much he can do since he left you for dead on the side of the road a few days ago. He huffs at you when he sits down across from you while everyone else gets their plates in the kitchen. His voice is somewhere between a whisper and an aggravated shout. âIâve been taking care of the cattle, what the hell have you been doing all day, huh? With that big fancy degree? Hid in the house all day and do your nails?â The nails in question are a sharp blue color, a homage to the crisp skies as the sun sets amongst the gloomy clouds, radiating dark indigo across the plains. His stomach curls when his brain supplies the image of them wrapped around his cockâboth your little hands, manicured and soft andâson of aââActually, I think I forgot to check the fences. Miss Lou, do you mind if I pack this up to go?â He did forget, and he should do that, but it could have waited another day. He really needs a reason to get away from your accusing eyes right now, away from the way you unwillingly make him feel ridged all over.
He checks all the fences on the half mile walk to the hunting cabin, eats his supper at the sad little table and tries (he fucking tries, okay?) to keep his hands off himself. It aches, aches when he gets hard, like a damn weight between his legs that makes him feel dizzy from lack of blood in his poor muddled brain. He gets crazyâcan't stand the thought of another person having so much control over his senses that he can't control his own bodily functions. He hates that youâve weaseled your way in to his weaknessesâpretty eyes, smarter than him, hard to get with an attitude. It pisses him off so bad that his body reacts before his mind can gain clarity enough to tell himself no. But how can he, when all he can think about is what this is doing to him.
He cant stop thinking about how much of a bitch you are, about the type of men you probably pulled while off in collage and how you expected some kind of Adonis and what you got was just Joel. Your disappointment in his mere existence does nothing to flag how hard he is when he finally gets his hands in his pants. It should be alarming how fast heâs got himself on the edge on the image of you glaring him down, blackmailing him just so he can be your own personal verbal punching bag.
What the fuck is wrong with him, that being treated like garbage gets him so worked up. Is it because he knows it's something he'll never have? Like nothing else in the world can, youâve got him hot and stiff in his large hand, after three days of knowing you, his head tipped back against his pillow and his eternal gratefulness that Tommy is still eating supper at the main house. At least he wont have to witness the way Joelâs resolve goes down the drain when he thinks about those pretty eyes, those nimble fingers and that bratty little attitude. He cums when he thinks about your stupid fucking shoes and how angry you are at him that youâre stuck wearing them.
Tomorrow, heâll tell you he still cant get your car out, even if all the fucking snow melts, just so he can watch you walk around in them for a little longer, so he can hate you a little bit more. Maybe his distaste will bleed out the want, but Joel has never been that lucky.
âââ
Itâs damn late by the time Tommy makes it homeâor maybe itâs not, but Joel's guilty hand found the neck of a bottle a few moments after washing it clean, so heâs completely lost track of time. Drowning his troubles was the best thing he could come up with, so he tipped the bottle back until it was empty and his head felt like it was in a fish bowl.
The door throws open when heâs leaned all the way back in a chair at the little dining table, his bottle sitting empty in front of him and his mind reeling. âClose the damn door, itâs freezing!â He doesnât open his eyes, because heâs got the spins and the last thing he wants to do right now is throw up.
âAint me.â He hears Tommyâs voice somewhere in the living room and he finally peeks an eye open and glances towards the door.
âYou really are a piece of work, arenât you?â Itâs you, standing in the doorway and letting in all the cold residing outside of these walls. Joel attempts to lean forward, but his weight wobbles and the chair falls backwards on the hardwood. âThis is why this ranch doesnât make any profit. You spend your days drunk off your ass, donât you?â Her tone is so accusing and snappy, if Joel had half a mind he would pull himself off this floor and give her a piece of it.
âSâthe end of the day, Iâm not workinâ, ân I can do whatever I want.â He pulls himself up using the table and he stand there for a moment, trying to let his head catch up with the rest of his body. âI came down here to tell you I want my car out tomorrow morning first thing. But, by the looks of it you wont be good for a damn thing in the morning.â
He groans and walks over to the door on wobbly legs, his vision is blurry but the drunk part of his brain supplies that you walked all the way here with Tommy just to bark orders at him. So, Tommy is definitely a fucking traitor, getting cozy with you when he knows how irritating Joel finds you to be. Even if you look damn good with those wind bitten red cheeks that would look so good hallowed out around hisâcâmon, Joel. âIâll be up before you, smartass. I have livestock to feed, âsides, I told you I'd pull it out when I could. Snowâs still too thick.â Joel uses the door frame to hold him up while you look him over from the porch. âI wasnât asking you to pull it out, Im telling you.â Telling him? Like heâs not his own goddamned person, who makes decisions around here of his own? Hank asked him over a year ago to manage the ranch on his ownâheâs been the one calling the shots here for some time, so what gives you the right to stand on his porch and tell him what heâs going to do?
âYou might be the all reining princess in their eyes, but do not push me, Honey. Iâm not the one to fuck with,â your eyes narrow and your arms cross over your chest like that might somehow make him second guess his boldness. You take a few steps closer and puff your chest out, point your nose up at him with a hard glare. âWhat are you going to do about it, huh? Not a damn thing.â Actually, one thing does come to mind and it takes everything in Joels power not to grab you by your hair and bend you over the back of the couch, show you exactly what heâs going to do about it.
Instead, he stands there in the frigid air, looking down at you like a pissed off little mouse staring down an alley cat, so fucking brave that he questions if heâs an alley cat at all. âWhen you can run this ranch by yourself, then you can look down your nose at me, but until then, youâre going to need some taller stupid fucking shoes.â He wouldnât have the balls to say these things to you if not for the whiskey burning through his veins. Actually, heâs been pretty weary of telling you off, because the last thing he needs is you telling your parents, who obviously would believe you over him. But right now? Fresh off half a bottle and a mind numbing orgasm? He has all the courage in the world.
âI want my car out. I want my things and my clothes. You have until tomorrow night, or my parents can find new ranch hands.â He scoffs and his anxiety only bubbles up a little bitâheâll pay for it tomorrow, but right now heâs pissed. âWell you better hurry back there and get on it. Iâll tell ya whatâIâll even help you hang up the flyers, hows that sound?â Your face is beat red in an attempt to contain your anger, your eyebrows are drawn together in the kind of pout that makes Joel chub up in his sleep pants. Heâd rather sleep out in the snow than to have you see the way your attempt at aggravation works him up, so he starts to close the door on himself. âBetter get to it, unless you want to be the one up at four thirty to feed.â He closes the door, turns his body and lets himself slump against the wood. His palm finds the front of his pants and he pushes, attempting to quell the sudden rush of blood that makes his head spin more than the alcohol in his system. âDamnâŚsheâs gettinâ to you, huh?â
Itâs Tommyâs obnoxious fucking voice in his head, standing near the hallway to the two small bedrooms. âFuck off, Tommy, you know how it is for me.â The younger man laughs, crossing his arms over his chest. âI'm just sayinâ, itâs kind of funny. Nobody gets under your skin like that. Does fightinâ really do it for you?â His voice is dripping with amusement and Joel wants to punch him again. âIt ainât the fightinâ.â Tommy rolls his eyes when Joel reaches into his pants to adjust the discomfort. âOh, thats right. Your shitty attitude comes sometime after she gets your big olâââ Joel growls at him, âTommy, if you donât shut the fuck up right now, Iâm going to drag you out in the snow and beat your ass.â
It does the trick, because Tommy knows Joel isnât kidding, heâs always been the stronger of the two, the one whoâs always put Tommy in his place and heâs never been afraid to sock him square in his mouth when he runs it like he is now. âYou know it bothers me when I can't control it. I canât hide it. And she justâsheâsheâs one of them girls you know? The oneâs that you donât stand a chance with but they rub it in your face anyways and I canât fucking stand it. Itâs embarrassinâ.â
He leans away from the door and makes his way over to the couch. When he plops down, his head finds his hands and he drags his calloused fingers through his curly, wind whipped locks. âWhat if you did stand a chance? Been a really long time since youâve let yourself have anything.â Tommy finds the seat beside him and their heated argument shifts into a tender conversation, one brother to another, one man to his best friend in the whole world. âAinât about what I can have, tom, sheâs Hanks daughter and Iâm double her age, at least. This,â he gestures to himself vaguely. âThis is the last thing a girl like her wants to get themselves tied up in. Canâtâone and done it like you can. Takes someâŚworkinâ up to.â
Tommy pushes his shoulder with a small snort. âAlways wondered how you got that thing in anyone.â He hasnât wonderedâheâs asked for years, and Joel being the closed off man he is, never had the heart to spill his bed-mates secrets. But there hasnât been anyone for years, certainly not someone like you who can get him going faster than anyone heâs ever met. âJustâlots ofâŚstretching. Things I can't do during a tumble in the hay, alright? And not everyone wants to deal with thatâfuck knowâs I donât.â
Deal with the rejection of someone seeing him naked and kindly (or not so kindly) telling him that they arenât interested anymore, deal with the look of shock women give him when heâs pressed up against themâwhen they feel it. Heâs tired of itâso he doesnât try anymore. Having you at his doorstep, flooring that desire in him? He can't deal with that. âI always thought it would be kind of an appeal to women, donât they like that? I mean, I didnât get your genes but Iâm not doinâ too bad, they seem to like it.â Not doing too bad? To be normal, lead a normal life where he doesnât have to bring anxieties to a moment he should only bring pleasure? âIt ainât all puppies and rainbows, manâŚnine times out of ten were good and theyâre into it until I get my pants off. Then they hightail it out of there before I even have a chance to explain myself.â
Itâs an embarrassing conversation to have with your brother, but Joel is grateful that he at least has someone he can talk about this with, above all else. The years heâs struggled, the supposed highs that only led to disappointment. It's been one minuscule moment of rejection after another, and heâs not asking for a lot, just to feel what everyone else gets to feelânormal, wanted, less like a freak and more like something to be desired. All for something he canât change about himself, because believe him he wants to.
âIâm sorry manâŚI canât relate, but I know how hard it is for you. One day, some crazy bitch is going to love yourâŚterrifying dick.â He snorts loudly and rolls his eyes at his little brother. âToday ainât the day, but thanks, TomâŚâ his head is still spinning and if he doesnât go to bed soon, he won't make it out to feed before the sun hits the horizon. Tommy heads to his room, but Joel finds a blanket and curls up on the couch with a trash can at his sideâjust incase he needs to throw up before morning comes and he sobers up.
âââ
He does make it out to feed. It takes him an hour to get a hundred and fifty heads of cattle fedâhe canât wait till spring when they can be turned out to pasture, when half of them are sold off and the breeding season restarts. The cold, stand still winters drive him crazy on every ranch heâs ever worked, but this one more than most, because the cold is bone deep and there's you now, to drive him crazy in every possible direction.
When heâs done with the cattle, he takes inventory of the feed room, makeâs a list to take with himself to town when the roads are cleared, then makes his way over to the stable. If there is one thing he can find solitude in, itâs snorting, fussing, grouchy ass horses early in the morning. Theyâll kick at the stalls until heâs filled their feeders, snort cold air at him like they donât want his companyâhe finds a lot of himself in the equineâs, misunderstood unless you get to know them like he has. He finds that his favorite place to be is in a saddle, pushing cattle through spring summer and fall, just him and them and all the trust in each other they have to offer.
Once they are fed, he finds his tack bucket and pulls open the stall to a young mare theyâd bought last summer. She was ready to break this spring, but Hank had all but given up on the Morgan. So much so that heâd handed Joel her bridle one morning and told him âif you can get through to her, sheâs all yours, son.â
She wasnât a big horse, compared to others over her breed, but she had an untamable mane and tail that Joel has to keep braided or it becomes a rat's nest. Sheâs all over the place, spooky with a fear of water that Joel can't seem to help her get over. For such a pretty little Palomino, she sure has a lot of fight in her.
âHey, pissy girl.â He hums when she flicks her tail at him, pulling her head out of her feeder just long enough to look back at him. Heâs been the only person she lets in the stall since they got her, the only person who can give her a good brush down and stand behind her without getting a hoof to the chest. âDonât look at me like that, okay? I had stuff to do before I could bring you guys breakfast. Besides, youâre gettinâ fat.â He pats her on her flank, watches dust come up under his hand. He starts brushing her down when he hears the stable doors come open. He knows it's not Tommy, because heâs in the north field checking on the heifers who are getting ready to calf. They still have a few more weeks, but it's good to keep track in the middle of the kind of storms theyâve been getting. The last thing they need is losing a calf to this kind of cold.
âJoel? You in here?â Itâs Hanks booming voice in the desolate stable. âYeah, Iâm in here Hank!â He sets down the brush and steps out of the stall because he knows Hank won't come in it. âI was tryinâ to find you before my daughter did. She been through here yet?â His stomach drops and curlsâdid she tell him? About the argument they had on his porch last night? That he was drunk off his ass drowning his emotions like he always has? âI donât know what she might haveâŚtold you, but it was at homeâthe cows were good, animals fed, I wasnâtââ Hank makes a face and shakes his head. âSon, I ainât mad at you for nothinâ. I told her youâre allowed to have a few drinks when youâre done with your work. She can be veryâŚaggravating, if anyone knows that it's me. I just wanted to apologize before she comes in a raging ball of fire because shes embarrassed about her shoes.â
Embarrassed? Sheâs embarrassed about walking around in those boots that make her ass look like it was sculpted by gods? Those damn shoes that can get him hard in an instant? âSheâs embarrassed about them?â
Hank cracks a soft smile and puts his hands on his hips. âMost of that fire comes from a hurt place. She's all bark and no biteââ Joel scoffs. âShe just about bit my head off last night. I might have said some things I shouldnât have.â Hank has always been understanding and kind the entire time Joel has known him. âI know, we talked about it. She said I need new ranch hands and I told her I donât trust anyone to run this ranch but you. Donât worry, I won't let her run you off. I really thought college would set her straight, but sheâs still got that stubborn attitude of hers. Justâkeep yourself busy and sheâll give up eventually. Donât be afraid to defend yourself, either. Iâm not going to get mad at you for standing up to her.â
Its more of a relief than he thought it would be to hear Hank stick up for him. You must have ran home to tattle on him, but knowing Hank has his back eases the anxiousness built up in him from the night before. âAnywaysâŚwhen you see her, maybe Tommy can take her to get her things until we can get her car out, so she can get off of everyones back.â Itâs going to have to be Tommyâthere's no way in hell Joel can handle being in a car with her by himself with his current situation. âAbsolutely, thank you Hank.â The man heads out the door with a genuine smile. âDonât be too late for breakfast! Louise made fresh jam.â
Breakfast sounds like a dream to his empty stomach, so he gets back to the task at hand so he can spare himself a few minutes of downtime to eat before he gets back to work. He steps back into the stall, runs his hand across the top of his horse's back and sighs. âMaybe I should cut her some slack, huh Cersei? Youâre kind of a bitch, but youâre still my favorite girl.â The horse nickers at him, flicks her tail and waits patiently for him to get back to brushing out her winter coat.
âââ
Itâs breakfast when he finally sets eyes on you again, but you arenât in those damn shoesâyouâre barefoot like that's somehow any better. Youâre barefoot in what looks like an old pair of your pajamas, like you just rolled out of bed when itâs already eight in the morning. âLook what the cat dragged in.â You sneer at him a little when he sits down across from you with his plate. Tommy hasnât made it inside yet and Hank and Louise are in the living-room after theyâve already finished eating.
âIâve been up for hours, what were you doing? Cant learn to manage a ranch if you sleep until eight in the morning.â Joel feels like he has the upper hand, and based on the look on your face, you know it too. âThatâs what I have you for, to do all the grunt shit I donât want to. I slept like a baby.â Joel on the other hand tossed and turned all night, willing away his morning wood for hours until he finally gave in and wrapped his hand around himself in the dark of his room under his soft quilt, where your prying eyes couldnât reach.
Itâs the only damn thing keeping him from chubbing up in his jeans, looking at you across the table in a pair of sleep shorts that ride up and leave little to his imagination. He thinks about how easy it would be to pull them aside and slip his fingers through your lipsâif he would be able to get you wet. Itâs enough to get him excited, so he tries to find a way out before it becomes too big of a problem.
âWhere are you going?â He looks down at his plate, devising a plan to leave with it, so he can at least finish his breakfast. âUhmâŚI have a lot to do today, figured I would get back to it while the day is young.â You push your chair back and stand as well, Joelâs eyes must have a mind of their own because they track up your bare thighs to the bottom of your shorts that have ridden up so much the fabric is pulled tight along the outline of your centerâgoddamn he can fucking see your pussy. He makes a sharp sound, choking on the spit building up in his mouth as it waters.
âYou arenât doing anything until you get my car out, you hear me? Iâm not walking around another second like this.â You gesture to yourselfâJoel couldnât agree more. You need to wear clothes that fit you if he wants to keep his dick to himself. âTommy is going to take you, heâll be in soon.â You shake your head at him with a huff. âNo, I donât want Tommy taking me, heâs not the one responsible for leaving my car in the snow. You are getting my car out.â
He wants to argue some more, but arguing with you makes him horny and the last thing he needs is to be that worked up in a car with you for an extended period of time.
âFuckâalright, fineâgive me fifteen minutes and Iâll meet you at the truck.â
Itâs a shit ass excuse to run back to the cabin and spend ten minutes jacking off as fast as he can fucking manage so he can control himself in the truck. Itâs a futile attempt to control the way Hanks spitfire of a daughter makes him hotter than the surface of the sun.
You are going to be the death of him.

This is part two from [12:41]
[14:25]
You had requested two days off from work to your boss. Thankfully, he understood your reason and even gave you a week to rest and not thinking too much about it. You were starting to doubt yourself for suspecting Jongseong as the culprit.
On top of that, you had installed a new camera in your house so next time if there is someone break in, you could use the footage as evidence.
After few days, you went to work like usual. This time, your mood seems to be better than the days before. You smiled to your coworkers but you noticed their faces looked worried and sad. When you finally put your things on your desk, you went to them and asked about it.
"Yejin, what happened? Why did you guys looked so sad and worried?"
"Y/n, this morning Adam found Mr. Park unconscious in his room and the police suspected he got murdered."
You were speechless on what Yejin had said. You looked into his room and saw the forensics had covered Jongseong's body with cloth and did their job to collect and find any evidence that can be used.
Because of the event, everyone in the department got questioned about their relation with Jongseong. When it finally comes to your turn, you noticed the police's expression changed.
"Hello, Miss Y/n. We meet again."
"Yes, officer."
"I think you already know what are we going to ask you. So, do you mind telling us about Mr. Park Jongseong?"
"We don't have anything special. He's just my boss and I am his worker."
"Where were you yesterday?"
"I spent my day at home because I still felt unsafe about the stalker thing. In fact, I requested to him for two days off so I literally don't know what happened at work these days."
"You reported about him to us, right? So, it kinda makes sense if you are the one who killed him?"
Now, you went speechless and angry. You admitted about that but that doesn't mean the officer can conclude that easily.
"I'm sorry. What do you mean by makes sense? It's not. I knew I did that but you can't just accused me for killing him! In fact, I planned to apologized to him today because of that."
The police sighed at your outburst. He let you go after apologized to you for his mistake on accusing you murdering Jay. You went out from the room until you suddenly remembered about the guy who disturbed you few nights ago before Jay came to save you.
"Officer, I think you need to ask one more person."
"It's not him."
"What?", You asked not believing what the police said.
"The guy went missing two days ago and his parents were the one who reported about that. Until now, we don't have any info about him."
"Maybe he ran off cause he's the one who killed Jongseong!"
"No. If he did that, then he must bring cash and clothes. But, we found his belongings in his car."
At the end, the police asked you to go home safely and leave the job to the police to solve the case. He gave you his contact card so you can call him if you have new info.
When you reached your home, you were surprised to see Heeseung was was there standing by his car. He waved when he noticed you and waited for you to go to him.
"Hee, what are you doing here? I didn't see you at work."
"Are you okay?"
Heeseung went closer to stand in front of you. He looked so worried but at the same time looked guilty. You can't really understand his expression.
"I'm good. Just a bit sad about Jongseong. Someone found him dead this morning. Why are you here, Heeseung?"
"Y/n, we need to run away."
"What, why?"
"I can't explain to you right now but trust me we really need to run away now, we need to go far away from here."
Now, you saw Heeseung became panic. He keep forcing you to run away and even tried to pull you into his car.
"Heeseung! you can't just force me out of nowhere."
"I'm sorry but we don't really have much time, y/n."
"Okay, I will go with you but not now. Tomorrow, in the morning you pick me up here. Okay?"
That night, you packed your belongings into a bag. You started to tidy up your room until you met with a small figurine beside your books.
"Ahh, yes. I forgot I installed a cctv. I wonder if there is something happened while I was not at home."
You sat on your bed and opened the app that connects your phone with the camera. You watched every videos from the first day you installed it. It didn't have any thing except you spending your day until you clicked on the next video.
Your hands started shaking when you saw a man came into your room and looked at the surrounding and stop when he saw where the hidden camera is. He waved and went under your bed and not come out until now.
The fact that you were sitting on the bed with him under it made you feel all the goosebumps and panic started building up making your heartbeat increased at the same time.
You ran immediately from the bed but the man under your bed was faster to grab at your ankle making you fell hard on the floor.
"AHH!"
"Finally, we met darling."
The man turned your body so you can see his face and you were really confused to see unfamiliar but attractive face.
"My name is Sunghoon. I know you might not remember me but we met before."
"You are fucking crazy."
Sunghoon giggled and pulled your leg to shorten the distance between both of you. He was kneeling between your legs and before you could do anything, he started to lean on you and started to kiss your face and neck.
"Stop- ugh- STOP!!! LET ME GO!!!"
"Fuck, it's been a long time since I touched you like this."
"I don't want this!! Nghh- I- AHH!"
"Don't resist it Y/n. I will make it harder than this."
______________________________________
Sunghoon has yawned few times this morning. He didn't get enough sleep from yesterday because of his boss keep forcing him to clean the shop even he is not even the one who should do it and that made him came home very late. Not only that, his boss also keep forcing him to get more customers so they can increase their sales and even threaten to cut some of the pay if didn't meet with the target.
He became more annoyed when the customers mostly tried to get his number and even took his picture without his permission. He wished he can just scream and yell to them to fuck off.
He sighed again when he heard bell ringing from the front door. He got ready to take the order but instead he became captivated by your beauty.
You are different.
You are not like other customers who quickly tried to show their flirting when he wanted to take order.
"Can I get cookies and cream frappe? And I want the blueberry tart and a slice of red velvet cake."
You looked at him after saying your order but Sunghoon felt like he was stuck. His heartbeats started to become faster and he couldn't speak properly.
Perhaps, is he falling in love?
Maybe he did.
And that's when your nightmare begin.
Sunghoon thought it was wrong to follow wherever you go but he couldn't stop himself from doing it. He felt like it was important to know about you. Or what are you wearing and who are you going to meet.
At first, he just followed you when he saw you were out with friends or went to park but he started to follow you to your work and even walked behind you from few metres when you wanted to go home. He even installed a hidden camera inside the lamp that has been put at your apartment. That's how he knew the password. It's crazy how you didn't notice it all until he started to send you flowers at your work.
He loves seeing you become scared. It's so cute that he wished he can hug you.
When he saw you were getting harrased by the guy while you were waiting for your bus, he was really offended and really mad. After he saw the guy ran away from Jongseong and you, he immediately followed him.
"Yah."
The guy turned around and without wasting time, Sunghoon punched him hard on the face and landed a kick at the stomach.
"The fuck man! Why are you doing this?!"
"You disturbed what's mine. So, you deserve it."
No one knows what happened to the guy that night and Sunghoon really made sure to do his job properly without leaving any single evidence.
For Jongseong, Sunghoon killed him when he stayed late doing his work at the office. He was alone at that time so it is perfect time to do it. However, when he was doing some cleaning he noticed someone was in the office. When he wanted to see who was it, the person already ran away and that made Sunghoon became mad.
After he forced the security guard to show him cctv footage, he found out the person who was in the office just now was your friend, Heeseung. He smirked knowing Heeseung will be the next victim.
He watched every Heeseung's moves and he was glad that you didn't quickly choose to run away with Heeseung.
He is glad that you choose to stay in your house for a night not knowing the danger is just very near to you.
Now, with him between your legs you will not get away from him.
For Heeseung, he will do something to that guy later.
Now, he just wanted to enjoy what he's been craving for so long.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SO WHO GUESS IT RIGHT?đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł I felt so excited writing this for yallđ¤Łđ¤Ł

MA'AT Watercolour illustration SoulBird Art by Roberta Orpwood
Ma'at
Cosmic order and balance
Maât is the foundation of the Egyptian religion, it is the universal order, a public and private law, that should be kept in great consideration because in the judgement of the dead, we were judged on that law and on the correct application of 42 rules of life. These did not serve a punitive function, but were considered a way to live well and respect others. These are:
1) Do not kill and do not allow anyone to do it.
2) Do not betray the person you love or your spouse.
3) Don't live in anger.
4) Don't spread terror into people.
5) Do not assault and cause pain to the neighbor.
6) Do not exploit your neighbor and do not practice slavery.
7) Do not cause harm that could cause pain to humans or animals. 8) Don't cause tears to shed.
9) Show respect to Your neighbor.
10) Do not steal what does not belong to you.
11) Don't eat more food than you expect.
12) Don't harm Nature.
13) Do not deprive anyone of what they love.
14) Thou shalt not bear false witness.
15) Donât lie to hurt others.
16) Do not impose your ideas on others.
17) Don't act to harm others.
18) Don't talk about other people's business.
19) Do not secretly listen to the actions of others.
20) Do not ignore Truth and Justice.
21) Don't judge others badly without knowing them.
22) Respect all sacred places.
23) Respect and help those in need.
24) Don't get angry without valid reasons.
25) Never obstruct the flow of water.
26) Don't waste water for your own needs.
27) Don't pollute the earth.
28) Don't name the Neteru in vain.
29) Don't despise the beliefs of others.
30) Donât take advantage of the faith of others to do harm.
31) Do not pray too much or too little to the Gods.
32) Donât take advantage of your neighborâs property.
33) Respect the deceased.
34) Respect the holy days even if you don't believe.
35) Do not steal the offers made to the Gods using them for yourself.
36) Do not despise the sacred rites, even if you do not like them.
37) Donât kill animals without a good reason.
38) Do not act out of insolence.
39) Do not act arrogantly.
40) Do not boast about your well-being to others.
41) Respect these principles.
42) Respect the law if it doesnât contradict these principles.
Without Measure there would be no Justice, Truth, Balance, Harmony and Centrality. Well, without the Measure the âMaâtâ wouldnât have existed. The âMaâtâ also represented the supreme cosmic order of perfection and balance, attributes already widely examined. Happiness on Earth could only be experienced by following the âMaâtâ, without excess and in the right Measure. And this âMaâtâ was not something unattainable, but it was possible roughly in the life of every day on Earth, however it is true that at the origin of the meaning of the word âMaâtâ, there was actually an auction to measure. This measuring auction is depicted countless times in Egyptian paintings mainly of Isis and Nephtys holding the measuring auction of the âMaâtâ in one hand and the symbol of life, the âAnkhâ in the other hand.

heh..
iovitus - 4, 12, 15, 18, 28, 31, 39, 43, 46.
ruckus - 3, 8, 10, 13(? if she has one. lonely bitch), 21, 22, 27, 32, 35, 42, 48.
nero - 2, 9, 11, 16, 19, 24, 31, 34, 41.
i put a lot so uhmmm answer only the oens u want to smiles
thank you for sending me asks my crops are watered and my harvest will be plentiful. putting it under the cut though because its long
iovitus
4. Does your character care about their reputation and/or how others perceive them?
yes! it matters a lot to them, perhaps to an unhealthy extent â they want to be liked, and will adjust their personality accordingly till theyâve become more settled with a person. there are very few people that iovitus feels they can really be their truest self around. theyâve become quite good at pretending to be someone theyâre notÂ
12. What are some of your character's pet peeves?Â
answered here!
15. What habits does your character have?
iovitus has a lot of unconventional habits, and they especially come out when iovitus is nervous â which is often. most are subconscious, such as tugging at their ears, muttering/mumbling under their breath, and talking in their sleep. aside from that, iovitus is a bit of a nicotine (and zaza but we dont need to get into that) addict and smokes frequently, especially when theyâre feeling down or need to soothe their nerves.
31. What genre of music does/would your character love?
they dont listen to a lot of music anymore, but when they do its a mixture of punk/nu-metal/heavy metal â itâs what they grew up with! theyâre not particularly picky, however, and generally will listen to whatever is playing at the time. music is not something iovitus is all that connected to.
39. What does your character have yet to realize about themselves?
that they need to freakin GROW UP and move past their dead warband/girlfriend dude holy moly they guilt themselves so bad over it and suffer for no reason
46. Does your character specialize or have remarkable talent in anything? If so, what is it?
as a ranger, iovitus has a natural skill with animals of all types! this wasnât something they discovered about themselves till after theyâd left their legion life behind, as before the only animals they really were in contact with was the raptors/other mounts belonging to their bandmates. aside from that, iovitus is exceptionally skilled at weapon-based combat, though they donât enjoy flaunting their skills unless working or absolutely necessary.Â
ruckus
3. Is your character an optimist or pessimist?Â
hhummmm. neither? sheâs more of a realist, seeing things as they are and not allowing herself to feel strongly one way or the other about it. i suppose if i had to choose sheâs more of a pessimist, but itâs not like ruckus actively seeks out the bad side of everything
10. If your character is an antagonist or something of the like, do they self-justify their actions? If so, how?
she doesnât feel the need to justify anything for anyone. sheâs lived a hard life filled with bloodshed and pain and whatever other horrible things legion life provides, and does things more for herself than anything else. ruckus generally doesnât feel guilt for the things sheâs done as both a legionnaire and a pirate, even if they're morally wrong or illegal. itâs her freakinâ life after all
13. Who is the closest person to your character?
answered here!
21. What is your character's relationship with their emotions?
answered here!
22. What regrets do they have, if any?
letting agar live and join her pirate crew. sorry :/
27. How does your character view themselves?Â
ruckus doesnât think about herself very often, because it generally leads to her feeling sorry for herself and other emotions the legions taught her should be squandered. due to her rocky past romances and failure to properly connect with anyone on a meaningful level, ruckus thinks she isnât really cut out for or deserving of any love that lasts. not that sheâd let anyone know, though! sheâs not a loser, sheâs cool and awesome and feels nothing
32. How does your character view their past?
hmm. i think she holds a bit of pride in her past, seeing as she was once a well-respected legionnaire â nowadays, though, most of ruckusâ views on legion life as a whole are skewed. she only seems to recognize her failures as a leader and canât come to accept the actual good sheâs done, likely due to the fact that her current pirate lifestyle has gotten her into a bit of hot water with her centurion.
nero
2. How does the public view them?
i donât think the public has much of a view on nero. heâs just another soldier in a forgotten warband. it doesnât help that he rarely, if ever, speaks to anyone outside of his warband â in fact, the only thing of note that he actively does is seek out his two cubs and participate in their life as much as he can. for the most part, though, nero is a faceless entity.
16. What is your character's relationship with their family?
good â or at least better than most other charr! though she doesnât keep in contact with her parents/siblings, nero does spend a lot of time with her two twin cubs, patina and faust. their dam isnât very interested in keeping in touch with them, but neroâs fine with that! she doesnât get to do it very often, as her warbandâs work keeps her occupied majority of the time or sheâs too far away to travel to their fahrar.Â
19. Summarize your character's goals in one sentence.
to earn a fat paycheck AMENNNN!!!!Â
24. From childhood to their current age, how has your character changed?
as a cub, nero was still very reclusive and withdrawn from others, which is a trait of his that has carried into his adult life. he was maybe a little bit more talkative, but quickly learned that he generally was unwelcome in most conversations. after graduating from the fahrar and experiencing the wonderful things that war and elder dragons have to offer, nero developed a lot of anxiety and fearfulness â he keeps it hidden, however, as he was taught to do so growing up. itâs just how life is and itâs so normal to see death in everything isnt it đ
34. What are three negative traits that your character has?
nero isnât really a shy person, but he has very poor social skills and is selectively mute. he can communicate through sign language and a series of noises/body language only discernible to the members of his âband, but otherwise doesnât talk to people he doesnât know. he isnât an airhead, but he also can get distracted relatively easily and may need a bit of assistance refocusing on the task at hand as well!
#thank you for 194239871938471230 questions sorry it took a little while to answer. also there was another ask buried in my inbox from you#that i forgot about but uhhhhhh ummm uhhhh#hehe!#iovitus rainbreak#ruckus gutsaw#nero wolfcaller#asks#mulchspeak

Now that we have the trailer, episode titles, and added context from the TDP shorts this season, I thought Iâd take a stab at doing another season breakdown since thereâs been so much updated information. Letâs dig in!
5x01Â â Domina ProfundisÂ
The most likely episode to begin with a deep lore flashback, if any are going to, a la 3x01â˛s introduction with Sol Regem. This will probably involve Domina Profundis and perhaps her last goodbye to Zubeia after the death of the Empress broke her heart and she disappeared into the oceans. The scene of Ezran retrieving the Siren Stone from Zubeiaâs antechambers at the Storm Spire are presumably a âmissingâ scene from this episode as well, given that heâs with Soren and Corvus, so the group must have gone back to Katolis to pick up the later.
The first 4ish tracks from the soundtrack also likely belong to this episode.
29. The Beacon (1:44) â Ez, Corvus, and Soren lighting the Beacon to try and summon Domina Profundis. 30. Consequences of Magic (1:32) â Catching us up that Viren passed out for the general audience (hi end credits) and Terry and Clauda thinking about their next move. 31. I Havenât Forgotten (3:41) â Could be Rayla going down to the dungeons for answers about her family and finding Runaanâs bow, as this is likely the only episode the whole gang will be remotely in Katolis for a while. It could also be inklings of Viren or Karim (Janai being very aware that her brother, while banished/exiled/jailed for now, is still out there.) This could also easily tie into Zubeia. 32. Seeking Answers (3:05) â Could possibly also be Rayla going down to the dungeons in Katolis and/or the kids having their âWe need more info on Startouch elvesâ talk, and making a plan for Callum and Rayla to go to the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea.
While we know Ezran meets Domina Profundis, I would not be surprised if she says no to helping them and/or provides a dead end (her piece of the puzzle was given to the Empress, and has gone âmissingâ since) and she retreats back into the waves, forcing Ez and Zubeia to consider other avenues.
5x02Â â Old Wounds
Callum and Rayla, if they havenât already, set out for Lux Aurea. Claudia reluctantly realizes that they canât spend anymore time waiting for Viren to wake up, and that they have get moving, adjacent to these soundtrack titles.
33. Early Mornings (0:52) 34. My Most Eager Student (4:58) 35. Keep Moving (3:01)
Viren could be having this initial talks with Aaravos (in which case the student is Claudia) or it could be about him and KppâAr in dream flashbacks. Early mornings / here could also easily be where Janai gives Amaya the sunforge blade as a gift.
Last but not least, this is almost definitely where Sol Regem and Karim meet / start to conspire, thanks to Sol Regemâs literal old wounds. Ez and Zubeia shortly travel to where the dragons congregate for his speech.
5x03Â â Nightmares and Revelations
Almost definitively a big episode for Viren with his dark magic induced dreams, as well as Callum possibly having a nightmare while he and Rayla are on the road to Lux Aurea, resulting in the banther chase (threat in the forest). Terry and Claudia literally carrying Viren either has to come from this episode or the prior one, as it seems they make their âdream raftâ sooner rather than later in the season.
36. Threat in the Forest (2:30) 37. Dream Raft (2:43) 38. Calling the Dragons of Xadia (3:09) 39. In Your Dreams (1:55)
This is where the Rayla and Callum âStargazingâ clip would fit as well, before they get attacked by the Banther and have to flee into the night.
Last but not least, Ezran and Zubeia - likely fearing that without Dominaâs help, they wonât be able to successfully beat Claudia to the prison - call upon the dragons of Xadia to instead help hunt her down and stop her along the way, resulting in the water dragon we see pictured a few times attacking her in the trailer (probably in the next episode).
5x04Â â The Great BookeryÂ
Callum and Rayla arrive in New Aurea and are taken to the Great Bookery with one less mount, aided by Amaya and Kazi, the latter of whom stays to do research with Callum (and possibly with Rayla, but unknown).Â
We also know thanks to the trailer and its backgrounds that Rayla tells Callum about the coins as well while theyâre with the Sunfire elves, backed up by the according soundtrack titles:
41. To the Library (2:15) 42. Stay Safe (2:17) 43. Father and Daughter (1:37) 44. Like Aunt, Like Nephew (2:46) 45. We Can Help Them (2:26) 46. We Fight (2:59) - the Big Fight scene thatâs featured in the numerous trailers, with Amaya, Callum, and Rayla 47. Rescue at the Great Bookery (4:04)
Zubeia saves Callum, Rayla, and Amaya from the corrupted banthers at the Great Bookery. (If you look closely, you can see the banthers actually falling down to the right of the screencap.)
5x05 â Archmage AkiyuÂ
The gang reunites and pools together what theyâve found, resulting in the location of the prison and knowing who to find next (and where) in Archmage Akiyu, who is probably masquerading around as Tidebound Tina to be left the fuck alone (and to gauge anyone who may come calling for the information she has). This is when they have to go under the shells and follow the old Tidebound lady further. If Zubeia is having a dragon political plot line, this would be a good time to develop it, as well as Janai and Amaya dealing with the aftermath of whatever the hellâs happening in Lux Aurea.
Tina, either this episode or the next, leads to the kids to some kind of bioluminescent cave (maybe they passed some kind of âgood intentionsâ test) and unveils her staff and true identity as Akiyu.
The kids either stay here for an ep or one of the ending scenes is where Callum and Rayla have a bit of âpool dateâ (for lack of a better term - take note of the bucket in the background, and Rayla is smiling briefly before hand, so it certainly seems safe) even if it doesnât end well.
Given the context of Ezranâs short story and his complicated feelings about Runaan, I wonder if itâs some kind of disagreement surrounding the situation of Ez, Runaan, and the coins.
Soundtrack:
48. A Magical Prison (2:14)
5x06 â Bait and Switch
Akiyu, perhaps, has the location of the prison, and clues to where the final piece they need is: some sort of treasure taken from the Empress by the motley pirates who slayed her, and currently in Captain Finnegrinâs grasp in Scumport.Â
I can also see this being another big episode for Viren, realizing that Claudia is now the one Aaravos is after rather than himself, and itâs been âa bait and switchâ if you will. Viren possibly finally wakes up after being passed out for 2/3rds of the season, his dream visions to an end.Â
Also Bait possibly being used as Bait, and Scumport being a place where Rayla can act as a quasi guide.
5x07Â â Sea Legs
The kids make their way to Scumport after Rayla leads them to the ferry with a Charon-like figure and her Finnegrinâs Favour coin to prove it.Â
49. Welcome to Scumport (1:00) 50. Times Are Changing (2:21) 51. Blood Moon Rises (1:30)
It could also have a double meaning if the kids have already been doing some sailing between places and thanks to the promo poster with the octopus/squid (sea legs indeed).
Karim has either enlisted KimâDael (if Zubeia put an end to Sol Regemâs involvement) as another attempt to wedge dissent in his sisterâs kingdom, or hearing of the unrest, KimâDael has come to make herself known. This may also tie into Claudiaâs âblood moonâ quasi-vision (symbol?) scene that an awakened Viren seems to witness.
52. If You Kill Me Now (1:59) - KimâDael and Karim or a Callum and Rayla conversation? 53. The Wounded Return (2:13) - the survivors of KimâDaelâs attack going back to Janai and Amaya with grave news
While in Scumport, the kids steal whatever they need from Finnegrinâs tower, complete with Ezran finally getting to go down another zippy-line-thingy.
 Theyâve either teamed up with Nyx (who seems to be comandeering her own ship) before as an exit strategy, or as a spur of a moment thing. The pirates pursue.
5x08Â â Finnegrinâs Wake
The pirates catch up to them, even with sky magic speed boosts, and Callum possibly gets in a brawl with Finnegrinâs âfirst mateâ (?) Deadwood, who we see in Ch2 of Chasing Shadows is basically unbeatable. This leads to his injuries (the black eye and scrape on his face) although how and why we donât know. Fingers crossed itâs fucked up and for Rayla (who has possibly stolen from him in the past) bc I can dream. Callum is seemingly made to summon lighting per Finnegrinâs command (notice the sleeve and the fulminus rune) to maybe lure in Domina Profundis, since it seems she has a male Tidebound rival, and Finnegrin is the one male Tidebound elf weâve been introduced to (and if he benefitted from the Empressâ death, thatâd certainly fit).
54. To Kill an Archdragon (3:03) 55. Not Yours to Give (4:50) - Aaravos magic related flashback? KimâDael, Karim, and Janai standoff because Karim canât free her and Janai is still the rightful heir? 56. Deadwood Deserves Dignity (3:03) 57. Captain of a Crustacean (2:04)
Captain of a Crustacean seems like another reference to Finnegrin, although why itâs being emphasized now, I have no clue. Deadwood Deserves Dignity seems like a funeral, to me (as well as âwakeâ meaning like in the wake of waves youâre leaving, or a funeral wake) so itâs possible that whatever Callum does here also kills some people. If the pirates were trying to kill Domina, âto kill an archdragonâ would fit in nicely, even if she will most likely come in and save the kids when all their boats get blown to splinters.
5x09Â â Infantis SanguineÂ
Means âBlood of a Childâ with a lot of possible options and primal/deep magic implications (âthe lost childâ referring to both Claudia and my little man, Sir Sparklepuff; Ezran and Zym being literal children; Aaravos deriding the whole dragang as âpathetic childrenâ; Elarion being labelled âa black-eyed childâ after Aaravos âgaveâ magic to it/her). None of itâs good.
58. Zubeiaâs Dream (2:54) 59. The Sea of the Castout (4:00)Â 60. The Prison Should Be Here (3:25) 61. Underwater Showdown (1:41) - hopeful mage fight between Callum and Claudia + everyone else 62. Tomorrow the Sun Will Rise (3:07) - is not a good thing, for reasons I will reaffirm below
S5 will likely end with Aaravos out, the Moon possibly but probably not freed, Janaiâs kingdom in shambles and handed over to her brother, and a good deal of extra angst (Viren defecting and alive against his will? Claudia snapping? Other injuries for the main kids) for good measure, becauseÂ
1) Nothing good in this show ever happens at dawn (Sarai and the queens of Durenâs deaths, Callumâs possession, the moonstone path disappearing, etc). 2) Love you season long Karimâs metaphor hold out
3) The humans huddled together, scarcely daring to breathe, awaiting the rise of the sun. And when the long, dark night had finally passedâfor the sun must always rise, mustnât it?âthey gazed out upon an unfamiliar landscape. âTDP Reflections: Ripples
Conclusion
As always some of this is inevitably wrong / going to be shuffled around further, and while it may feel like a lot has been revealed, it only just makes me more curious for everything we donât know as there are still plenty of gaps and all sorts of ways things could go horribly, terribly wrong for our favourite characters in the best of ways. And I cannot wait to see how the season turns out and whatâs wrong and whatâs right in just under a week!

(From Hebrew For Christians)âThe sages state "the seal of God is truth," by which they mean that truth bears its own witness to reality. Spiritual truth is ultimately personal, since it is "lived truth," and therefore it is part of the inner will of the person. A true person's life will agree with his or her words; the inner and the outer will correspond and align. The apostle Paul wrote that God's firm foundation (i.e., yesod: ×ְץ×Öš×) bears this distinctive seal: on one side is imprinted, "The LORD knows those who are his" (××Öš×־ע֡ ×Ö°××Ö¸× ×־ת ×ֲ׊×֜ר֞××Öš) and on the other side is imprinted, "Let everyone who names the Name of the LORD depart from iniquity" (×Öź×Öž×֡ק֟×Öš×¨Öľ× ×ְ֟׊×Öľ× ×Ö°××Ö¸× ×ָץ×֟ר ×־עָ×Öś×; 2 Tim. 2:19). People can say one thing and believe another, but ultimately no one can "fake" the truth: God bears witness to what is real, as it says, "All are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account" (Heb. 4:13). The LORD knows who are really his own, and who are impostors. As Yeshua said: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them (×Öˇ×Ö˛× Ö´× ××Öš×־ע֡ ×תָ×), and they follow me" (John 10:27).
We can test whether our faith is genuine by first asking whether we are trusting Yeshua to be our only means of salvation (and sanctification) -- believing that he alone is our means of finding the righteousness of God (׌ִ×ְק֡ת ×Öą××Ö´××), -- and then honestly examining our actions to see whether we evidence the love of God (John 14:1; 15:9-10; 1 John 4:7-8). "Whoever says he lives in Him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked" (1 John 2:6). May the LORD help each of us to evidence in the power the "seal of truth..."
The Hebrew word for truth is emet (×Öą×֜ת), a word that consists of the first, middle, and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, indicating that truth encompasses all things and endures from the beginning (×) to the end (ת). But notice that if we remove the letter Aleph from the word, we are left with ×־ת, (dead), the opposite of ×Öˇ×ÖźÖ´×× (life). The letter Aleph is the ineffable letter that represents oneness and God's preeminent glory. Therefore, if we attempt to ignore or suppress God in our understanding of truth, we end up with death...
Yeshua our Messiah is called âthe Aleph and the Tavâ (×Ö¸×Ö¸×֜ף ×Ö°×֡תָ֟×), "the first and the last" (×ָרִ×׊××Öš× ×Ö°×Ö¸×Öˇ×ֲר×Öš×). These are divine titles that belong exclusively to YHVH (Isa. 41:4, 44:6, 48:12; Rev. 1:1,17-18; 22:13). Pilate's famous question, "What is truth?" is a category mistake, since truth is not about "what" but about "Who." That is, truth is not something objective and static, a thing to be known and studied from a distance. No. Truth is up-close and personal.... You donât judge the truth, but the truth will reveal what is within you... [Hebrew for Christians]

Decreasing is essential to life. The moon waxes and wanes. It increases to a full moon and decreases to a new moon, completely hidden from sight.
Throughout life, there are times when decreasing is inevitable. You may have less money, lose someone you love, or even need to control your emotions. Regardless, learning to balance while faithfully being yourself will lead to happiness.
Humans naturally crave community and belonging. We want to help each other, but this kind of help can only be useful if you don't lose yourself.
Sadly, some people don't want help or may abuse the help you offer them. But how are you supposed to tell?
You need to observe and watch what they care for. What does a person spend most of their time paying attention to? This will give you insight into what a person really loves and can tell you whether it's someone worth helping or not.
As I like to say, don't plant your seeds in dead soil. Every fruit has limited seeds; if planted in the wrong soil, it'll never grow and bear fruit.
I CHING INFO:
Initial hexagram: 41. Decrease - Mountain over Lake - Moving lines: 2nd
Transformed Hexagram: 27. Corner of the mouth - Mountain over Thunder

Book Two of Heir of Ash and Fire
Book One of Heir of Ash and Fire
Inniros hisses, ghost white hands clawing at his back where the Red Priestess had whipped him. Searing hotk, far worse than any lashing he had felt for it was dealt by a worshipper of the Lord of Light. His entire back was hot, throbbing to the point where he wanted to rip his skin off. Why had she interfered? He had her. His task could have already been done with.
Baring his teeth, he rocks forward; anything to ease the torture.
Lord of Light.
He glares at the simple candle he had lit, the shadows formed and flickered on the walls of his temporary room. Willing his shadows to snuff it out, they wiggled and quaked; unable to go against the light. A bead of sweat trailing down his temple, Inniros huffs. If any of his cohorts from the Golden Company saw him now, they wouldnât believe him to be the same person. Like a god among them, Inniros had gained fame and rank in what seemed like over night. Of course they wouldnât know his one weakness.
Râhllor.
For the longest time Inniros had vehemently denied the connection of his ability with that of the fiery faith.
Despite his master insisting that he must respect the duality of the relationship. It was so easy to get drunk on the power of shadow binding.
Now it was clear though.
Inniros catches his reflection in the mirror, as dim as it was. One lone blue eye glaring back at him. An eye that painfully reminded him of his mother. At least the thought of her dulled the pain he was feeling.
What would she think of him now? A killer for hire. Delving deeper and deeper into his shadow art.
Fingers limp on his back, he remembers how tenderly his mother took care of him when he got hurt. Everything else about Asshai may have been tough but not her. She had never belonged there.
âDonât cry.â
âI miss my mom.â Little Inniros pathetically wipes at his overflowing eyes. âI want my mom.â
âSheâs beyond you now, boy.â His Master was always quick to scold. Burly and wearing a mask like many did in Asshai, he would pick up Inniros by the back of his shirt and pull him off his feet. âUnless you want me to throw you in the grave with her.â
What else was a little boy to do but suck up his tears and bury his sadness. Shadows replaced all sorrow. They ate away any emotion until he was a shell.
It was all worth it.
Testing his back, Inniros picks up his dragonglass blade.
There was no resting until the girl was dead.
** âDarkin? Be serious (y/n).â Jaime scoffs, relaxing in his hammock. He was keeping you company in the small cabin below as you were prone to serious sea sickness. It wouldnât be long until you reached Volantis.
Taking a deep breath in an attempt to keep the nausea at bay, you place a hand over your mouth. âI am being serious, Jaime. Sirvart was with me. She saw him too. They arenât just stories. What, dragons are easy to believe but not darkin?â
âThe documentation of dragons is a well studied one. Thereâs the bones in Kingâs Landing. Thereâs proof. Darkin? Just tales that mom used to tell us.â
âYou shouldnât be so quick to reject their existence.â Alizah pipes in. She sat perfectly still on the floor next to you. Her eyes filled with stars staring at nothing in particular. âIf youâre this credulous, then you might have a hard time when we reach Volantis.â
Shifting, Jaime narrows his eyes at the blind priestess. âWhat do you mean? Does this have to do with Thalina?â
Alizah nods. âOf course. She set the stage for everything.â
Leaning closer, Jaime persists. âSo? Whatâs the big secret? Why is it so important for (y/n) to go to the Red Temple in Volantis?â
This makes her laugh. âThis one asks a lot of questions!â
You smile, teasing your brother as well. âHe sure does.â
Laughter dies as Alizah sighs. It was so eery how her eyes seemed to be looking at you despite her not possessing sight. âWhat did Thalina tell you of Râhllor?â
âJust an outline. . . Azor Ahai, the Long Night. . . She didnât really get into details. We had just started discussing it before- well before everything went down.â You didnât want to think of Thalinaâs death. It still made you sad thinking of how she died. Thalina didnât deserve any of it. At a time when you didnât have any friends, she had been your constant companion.
âWe believe that one day Azor Ahai will come back to us in the form of another.â You heard Jaime scoff again but you chose to ignore it. âThere will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. A warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before them.â
âThatâs a lovely story.â Practically hearing Jaimeâs eyes roll in his statement.
âJaime. Donât be rude.â
âWhat does this story have anything to do with my sister? Or are you all just a bunch of religious freaks trying to convert us?â
Groaning you knew there was no stopping Jaimeâs mouth. When he disagreed with something he always voiced it. There was no muzzling him.
None of this bothered Alizah though as she continued to smile. âA prophecy was foreseen long ago. One that pertained to when Azor Ahai reborn would come back. Those of us who are lucky enough can read flames. These flames can make predictions as well. Thalina was just beginning to show promise when she had a vision. Of you. A little mouse stuck in a den of lions.â
You remembered back in Kingâs Landing. Moments when you would be mesmerized by the flames in your fireplace. How they danced in such a way that could be mistaken for an image. And your dreams. . . The dreams you had had in your poison induced sleep.
â(y/n), Thalina believed you to be Azor Ahai reborn.â
Deathly silent.
Until Jaime jumped out of his hammock, anger bright in his wildfire eyes. âThatâs it?! Thatâs why we left Westeros because some crazy girl thought she saw my sister in a fire? We came out here for nothing!â
âJa-â
âNo (y/n).â He snapped and you knew best to let him vent. Jaime glared at Alizah. âYouâre all crazy.â
âAnd why do you think that?â Alizah hummed, unphased by his outburst. Sheâs picking at the hem of her sleeve. âYou sound scared.â
That made him bare his teeth. âI fear nothing. Look at her! Does she look like a prophet to you?â
Maybe you should have been offended. You saw where your brother was coming from though. You could use a sword but not very well; still possessing baby fat in your cheeks and an unintimidating atmosphere around you.
âYouâre right.â Alizah flicks her eyes to you. âShe doesnât look like a prophet. She looks like a hero.â
He throws his hands up. âThatâs it. (y/n), weâre getting off of this fucking boat.â
âI can hear you yelling all the way up deck.â Comes Sirvartâs grumble. âWhatâs going on down there?â
âTell the captain to dock immediately. Weâre getting out of here and going back to Westeros!â
Ducking her head inside, Sirvartâs eyes challenge your brother. âWesteros? You wonât even make it to Westeros with that darkin after (y/n). Even if you did what makes you think Westeros would be best for her? People obviously want her dead over there. Do you really want to take her back to that environment just because you have faith in nothing.â Sirvart easily blocks the way out with her lethal body. âYou made a promise to Thalina. Regardless if you believe any of this. Or are you going back on that vow too? Yes, we know of your relationship with your twin sister. Alizah reads the flames as easily as one would read a book. Will you forsake (y/n) again in favor of Cersei?â
You meet Jaimeâs conflicted eyes. In there was the longing to go back. To go back to Cersei. Clashing against his desire to keep you safe and do right by you. Sirvart took the silence as her answer. Craning her head up, she sighs. âWeâre almost there. Go ahead and donât believe us. Know that we only want to keep (y/n) safe. That has always been our goal.â Creaking back up the wooden steps, she leaves the three of you in a heavy quiet.
Everything sounded insane, too wild to believe. You were supposed to be some sort of warrior reborn. That was the last thing you would ever call yourself.
With a lowered voice, Alizah says âThe darkin is the least of our worries. One day youâll return to Westeros. When you do youâll have to face the real threat. You may not be a warrior yet, but give it time.â
Your head spun and not due to the slight rocking of the boat. It was a lot to take in and so many things were starting to connect. This couldnât just be a coincidence that your dreams and experiences seemed to match with what Alizah had said.
Jaime flops onto the floor, head in his hands. âThis is crazy. Absolutely crazy.â
Tenderness makes Alizahâs face look sad. âYes it is. But thatâs life. Crazy and unbelievable at times.â
Curling into yourself, you close your eyes and try not to think of the mayhem that was to me when you reached Volantis. You had been so excited about reaching the end of your journey. Now though? There was suddenly a high expectation thrust upon you. One that you couldnât possibly live up to.
Now you actually wanted to go back to Westeros. To show Rhaegar that you still lived and still loved him. He never expected anything from you. He just wanted you to be happy.
You didnât want to be a prophet, or a hero, or Azor Ahai.
You just wanted to go home.
âPort up ahead!â The captainâs booming voice traveled easily down below.
This was it.
Alizah perked up, excited to be back home. How long had she been waiting in Volon Therys for you? The journey through out Essos had taken you about a year. To be away from your home for so long must have been hard.
Heading up to the deck you felt immense trepidation. Had this really been a mistake?
Covering your eyes from the sun you look out to the city of Volantis, ancient yet still standing like a giant.
Then you heard it. The cheers coming from the dock. No one could mistake it for anything else.
A large group of people stood waiting. Cheering, for you. They cried out your name. Filling the sunny sky with only your name as your boat drew closer. Men and women crowded one another at a chance to catch a glimpse of you. You and Jaime share a glance of utter astonishment while Alizah clapped her hands together and said something in a language you didnât know.
âThey come for you.â Sirvartâs smile is wide, finding entertainment in your large, gawking eyes. âYou are who we have been waiting for, for thousands of years. Our champion, our Azor Ahai reborn.â
In Jaimeâs eyes, you saw it. The realization of what all this meant. The truth in it all. Someone he had always seen as a little sister. A foolish, naive, girl. . . She was indeed seen as a savior to many. She was someone. Important and immediately adored.
They cried out in Valyrian, a chanting choir; a hymn that they happened to know by heart.
âHen se perzyssy.â From the fires she has risen.
âSe egros mazemilzi.â The sword she will claim.
âIlva kosh bona Râhllor eza kivio.â Our princess that was promised.
âAzor Ahai sigligon.â
Azor Ahai reborn.

⚠⌠⼠A MONTH IN LOOP NEWS: SEPTEMBER
Opening up the month with a much anticipated announcement in a not so ideal setting, New Wave Music saw itself corned to confirm LOOPiN's upcoming album after leaking of the comeback logo, tracklist and promotion schedule took place on September 11th.
'Internet War', the group's 4th full album according to the leaked content, is a half hyperpop inspired, half mellow PC pop devoted project set to introduce a new batch of units to the group - two trios and two duos, as seen on their pre-debut era. Aside from dual title tracks 'Jump' and 'Tell Me What To Do', the album will have 12 b-side tracks.
New Wave Music took to social media on the 12th to confirm the content as belonging to LOOPiN, and attaching an official date to the release: October 10th. Curiously enough, no commentary on legal consequences against the prossecutors of the information early released have been found on the statement, fueling rumors that the leak might have come from staff or even the members themselves in some unespected, unconventional form of marketing or preassure to actually release music - something LOOPiN hadn't done since April.
While the upcoming fictional survival show 'Show Me The One' is taking its time to unravel the official lineup on social media, a varieted amount of entertainment companies have already announced their compeating trainees - divited on the show on teams of multiples of 3s. New Wave Music made no different: on September 16th, the company shared a news outlet confirming trainees Dahyung (25), Chaeun (23) and Furumi (22) of Team RIIDEWAVEE as not only their 'Show Me The One' representatives, but also a third of the lineup of their future girl group, set to debut on the first semester of 2024.
While there's clear rumors of who two out of the three trainees might be - Dahyung is highly especulated to be former MIDNESTRA member Kim Dahyung, while Furumi can't be anyone else but Fukunaga Furumi, Nogizaka46 graduate and the younger sister of LOOPiN's Haruki -, Chaeun is still an unknown name.
We wish the girls good luck on the show and a successful debut!
TW: mention of suicide.
On September 22th, Choi Sangwon, 41, was found and reported dead in a motel room in rural area Damyang by three witnesses - later confirmed as Idols by a minor south korean tabloid with no real evidence to back it, but a name prestigious enough for it to be taken as truth right away. Any further information on the identity of the alleged celebrities has yet to surface.
Sangwon, who had been a well known manager for multitple K-Pop acts such as 3rd gen leader boy group INPEAK (from 2011 to 2014), one hit wonder girl group Sweet-X (2015), LOOPiN (2016 to 2022) and more recently, rising girl group FairLand (2022). Taking the role of marketing adviser and trainee evaluator in the majority of the companies he worked for, he had a reputation as a creator of opportunities and great judge of star power.
Police confirmed the cause of death as suicide a day later.
Sangwon's passing seemed to put the final nail in the coffin for the future of Greater Sound Entertainment's FairLand.
Coming from a small company and making their debut in August 2021, FairLand finally gained momentun in February 2023 with the release of their third single, 'Rose Blossom', which gained popularity amoung korean netizens and charted for two entire months near the top 10 and 20 of various music platforms. However, the sixteth was placed on complete hiatus shortly after the end of 'Rose Blossom' promotions, with leader Sangah and maknae Ichiko being completly gone for the group's Youtube and Weverse content streamed from August onwards.
Greater Sound's official note on the disbandment, released on September 25th and personally signed off by CEO Lim Gahyun, reads as follows: "Hello, this is Greater Sound Entertainment's Lim Gahyun. It's with a heavy hearth that we come to you with the announcement of the end of FairLand. I want to make this an opportunity to personally thank the support that we have received in recent years from the general public and Landies. To the members, I'm sorry, and I love you. I hope all of you always, always knows that as truth. Please, keep showing support on the bright journeys of SANGAH, NAHYEON, SOOAH, MINJI, JAZZ and ICHIKO, which are far from over. We hope we all get to shine more brightly and safely from now on."
Not a single member has decided to stay under Greater Sound - which is rummored to terminate all operations on the following months.
We hope to see what the future has in store for each and every single one of the former members. #ThankYouFairLand!
LOOPiN member Haruki, who had been set to appear at Milan Fashion Week on the 26th as a guest of Vianfino, taking active duty as one of the ficitonal brand's declared muses and first global ambassador, took fans and media by surprise by not appearing in Italy.
Hours after the Vianfino runway started with Haruki's front row seat left empty, New Wave Music released a statment on the commotion, declaring that from now on, "all upcoming activities which will not involve or enrich 'Internet War' promotions directly, that taking in consideration not only Haruki's current public schedule, but of all the members of the group, have been indeterminantly cancelled' - which as far as we know of includes a Hanjae photoshoot for Esquire Korea alongside the cast of his newest drama series, J.J and Haegon's appearence on a late October episode of Return Of Superman, and a special fansign event for Gyujin's birthday on October 17th.
To quote the company's official note: "All the LOOPiN members have decided to prioritize their walk into a new era as a team. We ask the public's understanding and the respect of this personal choice taken by the group as a whole."
As expected, the public hasn't been convinced by New Wave Music's vague reasoning, with the majority of fans online suspecting some sort of punishment or ban being placed on the LOOPiN members - a theory highly supported by the quiet and unusual state of the members personal Instagram and Tiktok pages, all colecively not updated since the 24th.

WIP Thursday
Tagged by @dungeons-and-dragon-age! This time, we have another character's intro from The Breach.
Aqun Adaarâs journal. 12 Drakonis, 9:41 Dragon. Bought a new journal. Lost the previous one in the mountains during the last job; unfortunate, but at least it didnât contain any important research. Obligatory introduction: this journal belongs to Aqun Adaar, currently employed by the Valo-Kas company. If found on my dead body, please return to Shokrakar, commander of the Valo-Kas, or to Cecilia Fiore-Adaar, Ostwick University. We arrived at Haven yesterday, three days ahead of schedule; lucky for us, because our accommodations needed some revising. The Chantry mothers wanted us to share our living quarters with the local templars, which was impossible for several reasons; after a prolonged argument with Shok, they conceded and bought out several inns to house us for the duration of the Conclave.
