Christ-Bearer
what a burden indeed
to carry a god
a man seeks to serve
to find the greatest master
a lord afraid of his king
a king afraid of the devil
the devil afraid of the Christ
what's a god to a nonbeliever?
a child by the stream
begs to be taken across
grows larger each step taken into the mud
a god is a heavy burden
dragging you further down
down into the water
Named for a man who carried such weight
a man who relished the burden
cursed to carry a god upon your shoulders.
mighty Jason stopped at the banks of the Anauros
the winter-fed swell threatening its banks.
Carry me across?
an old crone beckons
but she grows heavy with each step
step step into the flood
Saint Jason carries the Christ
The hero Christopher labors under the weight of the patron of motherhood.
which one of them lost a sandal in the fierce river?
which one was blessed in deed by their god?
Both died
doomed by a divinity they freely carried
should I follow?
speak my true name and bind me forever to your circles of spore and daisy.
call my name and drag me down into your fae realm.
ask my name and how should I answer?
true name has the power to harm,
to call down malice and hateful spell.
what is mine?

It has been 18 years since humanity was brought to the truth that monsters, creatures and deities they were all too sure were myths are in fact real well most of them anyway with these new realizations comes new mysteries, problems and hope but dawn (MC 1) never paid too much attention to it but after the death of their father they have been sent reeling the perfect life they had crumbling slowly forcing them into positions they never would have dreamed of. their life colliding and slowly meshing into the unknown creature's deeper darker world. Across the city in a dingy alley badly hurt dusk (MC 2) awakes to no memories other than their name and something they were told that stung like a dagger in their heart for some reason. As Dusk tries to make sense of what is happening they somehow fall into a rabbit hole of crime, mysteries and dark truths all because they are trying to find out who they are and how they ended up in that alley
Tumblr media
~Customize your MCs looks, gender identity, clothing style and name
~ Choose your legal job! (Dawn starts the game with a certain job but that job doesn't stay long)
~ Make deals that will change the course of your life
~Customize your room and apartment aesthetic style
~As Dawn manage the relationship with your mother, your ex your, past relationship and current feelings about your dead dad. As Dusk unravels your past try to figure out what happened to you or set It all aside and attempt to make a new life for yourself

And many other pitches and proposals rebuilding the workforce , wages and structure of New York city and cities like New York .
Next order of business : My Plans for infrastructure in a utopian society hotels jobs pay raise on citizens paycheck from 15 $ - 17 $ dollars minimum wage pay to 19$ dollars to 20$ dollars an hour to better provide for all costs emergencies uncovered insurance payments due to partial health care coverage and full union membership granted to employees of any company free education grants and school loans payment plans

Jobs moving back to inner cities through the effort of study and research groups from urban planning courses from their neighboring colleges .
Tax abatement and financial incentives and business incentives and tax breaks .
Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris should include this law into all of their plan for cleaning up America I'm glad to see it go beyond New York City and other counties in New York I want to share this honor with author Michelle Alexander who I did my research from her book about mass incarceration of the black and Latino community and the political office and my friends that help put this law in place I reached out to hopefully stop the recidivism to prison and hopefully to help some of my friends and people that go back and forth to jail because they couldn't get a job due to the felonies on their record I recommend a certificate of relief of disabilities to all people returning to society if they haven't given you one go get it from your county's or borough courthouse it works wonders .
Next order of business : Tax cuts to help the everyday person keep more of their check in their pockets cut the tax rates in New York City by 4 percent I see it as New York State taxes % 8.82 to % 4 percent and business tax cuts to create more jobs Proposal For a Wage increase of $ 22 dollars an hour Including : Fire safety directors Security guards Librarians Fed Ex workers UPS workers Ready Willing and able with free vocational grants from access vr programs they should hire vocational rehabilitation counselors and job developers finding permanent housing and permanent job placement after the clients training Stock Clerks and cashier's at major stores like Gristedes , C Town , met foods , Burlington coat factory wage increase for all warehousing and factory workers jack pallet and forklift training for people with no experience and a starting salary at $ 17 - 19 $ dollars an hour and it increase with more time on the job how about the first year at that base salary of $ 17 - 19 $ dollars and on the even of that year the employee gets an raise of $ 2 dollars more on their check and other financial incentives as cash allocation from their check for newly place employee mutual fund packages besides with other benefits that said company is offering this helps to place that company on the stock market and grant their employees preferred stock options from their company that they work for at that current moment and because of the huge huge employee buy in it is like the employers are investing in their employees and their stores and company .
Educational requirements for jobs posted is less than a high school diploma but the job candidate has to be in a vocational program or GED preparation course half or full time hours .
Civil service jobs and exams posted weekly .
Sales professional salary plus commission on sales and stock options for mutual funds packages as bonuses with an wage increase to $ 19 dollars to $ 21 dollars an hour .
Newly added benefits to a job description benefits an employer on jobs posted give to their employees an employer get to hold back cash or take money out of an employees check to put towards a mutual funds stock fund option to help that client make more money as a second job the municipals funds and stock and funds and stock and then you gotta get hedge funds option packaged in to help the employees money make more money for them talk about overtime whew and at the same time that local market and store owner can put his company on the stock market and give out public shares thus in the end making it a good investment a regular place of shopping in a family like environment it is like getting to know your deli clerk , butcher , bakery attendant again only this time you are making money with the people you are spending money with Think about it that in turns build better communities better stores customer relationships safer neighborhoods and the beautifying of economically depressed environments more money for your kids college tuition school supplies newer roads being built leading to and from better neighborhoods and businesses and this is a future that we all as fellow New Yorkers can build together .

Switched Sides 1 - Lloyd Hansen Series
Character: Lloyd Hansen x former Hitman!FemaleReader
Summary: Y/N L/N quit her job as a hitman to take care of her nephew after her stepbrother died. It’s been a year since she became a good aunt to her nephews, and she wants to keep it that way. But her quiet life got disturbed when her former boss asked for her help.
Warning: Nothing
Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 , Last Chapter
Main Masterlist || Buy me Ko-fi please 🥹
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pendulum bar of the metronome kept moving left and right. This object has helped to calm her anxiety and nightmare. Because of her former job as a hitman, her ears become sensitive to sounds. 
Y/N L/N, 37 years old, is a former hitman. Code name ‘Antartica’. She quit her job after she met her stepbrother for the first time in 8 years.
'Ring!'
The alarm from her phone reminded her it was 5 a.m. The ringtone made Y/N jump out of her bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and teeth. 
At 5.15 am, she went to the first door beside her room to have a quick inspect before jogging on the treadmill.
She ensured her footsteps weren't loud, so the little one inside the crib won't wake. 
Y/N looked down and saw a cute toddler in his onesie with a little blanket covering his little body. 
'He is still asleep; that's great.'
Then she carefully moves to another room to see another kid. She opened the door and saw the teenage boy still asleep. 
'Good.'
If anyone ever told her, she would become an aunt she would laugh at them. 
But after Y/N became the legal guardian for his stepbrother's kids, the earth would turn to hell if anyone tried to hurt her nephew. 
After ensuring everyone was still asleep, she did a quick workout by running on the treadmill. 
At 6.30 a.m. After she showered, she knocked on the door of the oldest to wake him up. 
Then she went to the youngest, Kendall L/N, 2 years old, and brought him down with her so she could watch him while she was making breakfast. 
At 7 a.m., Mark L/N, 9 years old, came down the stairs, yawning, "You could just give me cereal, aunty."
Y/N smiled at him while setting up the table. "It's okay, besides I like to cook."
Mark smiled at her. He wondered how a hitman like her could be gentle and be the best replacement for his parents while he still had other relatives who had normal jobs. 
He never met Y/N, but he always heard the stories of her from his father. Mark's father is a policeman but is proud to have a step-sister who works as a hitman.
-Flashback starts-
Mark finally met Y/N at his father's funeral. She was quiet. None of the relatives want to talk to her. It seems like they are scared of her. She didn't shed a tear but she look so sad looking at his father's coffin.
After the funeral, everyone discussed who would care for him and his youngest brother, none wanted to volunteer. 
Mark heard his relatives murmur:
"If only Mark, I would love to, but the youngest, it would take a lot of work."
"I don't have time to take him to the hospital."
"And he always cried, my children will be angry with me."
"We have to talk about the big elephant in this room. Caring for cancer patients takes a lot of money, and their father didn't leave enough money for Kendall's treatment."
Mark wanted to cry and hide for being useless and couldn't protect his baby brother. He can't believe he heard from his relatives that they will become a new burden.
'SMASH.'
Someone punched the thick mahogany table and made a hole. It was Y/N, his aunt. 
"I will take care of them."
When he saw the ruined table and his relatives scared looking at Y/N, he felt somewhat relieved because someone defended him.
It was awkward at first, but her habits were the same as his father's. The way she cleaned up the house, cooked everything, and her perfume was the same as his father's.
Mark remembered his father always wore a perfume his sister gave him.
His father told him before it was Y/N who took care of him since their abusive parents rarely stayed home. 
He knew her former job as a hitman from his father, but it didn't matter.
Because she gives her everything in taking care of them, especially his younger brother Kendall, who always cried because of the pain from the chemotherapy he went through.
Kendall got diagnosed with blood cancer. It'd been a year for him getting the treatment. 
She would stay up all night to hold him. Before, it was Mark who watched over his brother Kendall if he woke up in the middle of the night. But with Aunt Y/N here, he could sleep until morning.
He felt guilty but his aunt told him not to worry "I'm used to not sleeping for 5 days. This is nothing."
That's what Mark and Kendall's life has been for a year. His life could be considered normal, with an aunt, a former hitman, as his second parent. 
-Flashback ends-
Y/N drove him to the school, along with his brother, in the infant car seats. Kendall will need another chemotherapy today. He rubbed his little brother's hand. 
How come a little kid like me could hold the pain? As an older brother, he wished he could do something to help his younger brother. 
"We've arrived."
"Aunt Y/N, you don't have to drop me there."
"Why not?"
Mark pointed at the group show standing before the school entrance door. "Because of them?"
"Uurgh, mothers." 
YN rubbed her forehead; she could deal with kingpins, mafia leaders, and pirates, but with mothers, she couldn't do anything. 
Mothers are complicated, they don't use any physical weapon, but their words are more hurtful than knives. Y/N doesn’t hate them, but they’re competitive on how to make their children be the best in this school.
Mark didn't go to private schools, but most of the mothers here are fighting to make their children enter an Ivy League College. They could be friends and enemy at the same time.
Jealousy and gossip are too much for Y/N. It's better to stay away from that group. 
Y/N agreed with Ky; she stopped before the mother saw her car. 
"I'll be here when you practice."
"Yes, I'll see you later, Auntie Y/N." Mark waves his hand.
When she saw Mark enter the school building, Y/N wanted to escape her mother by using her driving skills. But there is a speed limit in school areas. So she at least has to open her car window and greet them. 
"Fiuuh." Y/N sighed, relieved today she doesn’t have to make small talk. She drove the car to exit the school and headed to the hospital. When the vehicle stopped at the red light, her phone rang. But that ringtone is from her other phone. After she quit her job, nobody ever calls her again from that number. 
'Ring.' 
It must be urgent. Y/N turns her head to see Kendall, who is still sleeping. She hopes nothing bad if she accepts the call. 
“Speak.”
"Hello, Antarctica." 
Y/N held her breath when she heard his voice. It's been a year since she met him, and he called her using a code name. That means he needs her for a mission.
"You're still alive?"
"Hmm, cold as always; here I thought motherhood changed you."
"What do you want?"
"I need your help."
Y/N rolled her eye; he knew she had left the old life behind. And the mission he gave is always dangerous; she can’t take a risk while caring for her nephews. 
"I'm busy."
'CLICK.'
She turned off the cell phone so he wouldn't bother her momentarily. It’s been a year since she has had a quiet life without a life-threatening mission, and she wants to keep it that way. 
Tumblr media
At the hospital. 
Y/N is sitting beside Kendall, getting his medicine to treat his cancer. 
Every time she sees him crying when the nurse puts the needle through the skin, it's killing her. If doctors could transfer Kendall's pain to her, she would accept it. 
There's an alternative besides chemotherapy. Doctor told her there was available oral medicine, but they needed to wait for months to get it.
She sighed; being a parent is difficult. How come her brother keeps smiling while being a single parent? That's amazing. 
****
At the school.
Y/N is supposed to pick up Mark and then go home. But she almost waited inside the car for 20 minutes, and he didn't come out of the school. 
She carried Kendall into her arms cause there was no way she would leave him alone inside the car. Y/N carried Kendall in her arms all day since Kendall hated the stroller. He prefers to be hugged by his aunt because her perfume resembles his father's.
"Bwo?"
"Yes, we will see him."
Kendall clapped his hands. He is always excited whenever they pick up his brother from school. 
On the way to Mark's classroom, she met group mothers in the hallway. And their leader Jenny who is also a PTA. She's perfect from head to toe, has blonde wavy hair, wears designer clothes from head to toe is walking towards Y/N. Jenny is a softly-spoken person but vicious at the same time. 
"Hi, Y/N and baby Kendall." Her high pitch made Kendall hide his face in Y/N's shoulder. 
"Hi, Jenny." 
"How are things at home? If you ever need help, tell us in the group chat."
So you have material to gossip about my family? No, thank you. 
"Thank you, but now I still could manage."
"Great. So can I ask, have you prepared your stuff for the school bazaar tomorrow?"
This month is the school anniversary; for the first of the month, there will be a bazaar, sports, and music events. Every student and parent is mandatory to join. 
Y/N couldn't choose because his brother had volunteered to bring food to the bazaar. 
"Yeah, I've made vegan brownie cake."
"Ooh, vegan and homemade cake. Lovely."
Y/N has thought a 50 ways to step away from this conversation. If she were still a hitman she could make Jenny fainted.
"Aunt Y/N. Aunt Jenny."
Mark's presence saved her from the conversation. Even Kendall stretched his arm towards his brother. 
"I'm sorry the math teacher gave us extra assignments."
Y/N brushed his hair, then held his hand. "Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow Jenny."
"Bye."
While on their way home, Mark remembered what his aunt said to Jenny.
"Is it true you're going to bake a cake, Aunty Y/N?"
"No, I have ordered it from the bakery."
He laughed because his aunt was not able to bake. Then something caught his attention. An unknown number keeps calling Y/N phones.  
"Aunty, an unknown number keeps calling you."
"Just ignored it."
Y/N didn't say anything, which means he should stop asking. He realized when Y/N was with them, she never received a call or called someone. It must be true she has left everything behind. 
****
At unknown location
Inside the room, there is a man sitting in the darkness while looking at an old photo. It seems like he longing for that moment when the picture got taken.
That man is Lloyd Hansen—a sociopath, an insane and deadly person in the hitman industry, and also Y/N's former boss. 
"Sir, Antarctica is not answering, but we have her location." 
Lloyd smirked; he knew this would happen. He snapped his fingers. "Well then, we should go for a quick visit tomorrow."

I’m nervous about antis getting on the otw board. That could be very very bad
There are no antis anywhere near the OTW board. There is a candidate who has used some anti rhetoric, but I don't think she wants content removed - instead, I think she wants stricter labeling requirements and more public statements on those topics.
I think both of those are bad ideas, but I don't thinks someone is evil or malicious for disagreeing.
In order to run for the board, someone has to:
Be a current member serving as a volunteer on a standing committee of the OTW.
Have served as a volunteer for 9 of the 12 months prior to the month in which the election will occur.
Be a paying member of OTW by eight weeks prior to the election.
(And a few other things - legal adult, willing to have their legal name on record, etc.)
There are volunteers/staff members who think AO3 need a better warning system. There are volunteers who think we need better public outreach, who worry about the wave of accusations that go around at every donation drive. There are volunteers who think we need different policies on what counts as abuse - for example, that we should be less lenient about comment threads, or about what collections can be titled, and so on.
But the requirement of "has been an active volunteer for at least most of a year" means that anyone who thinks AO3 needs to restrict content is very, very unlikely to get that far. Because there's an interview & review process to get in, and there's an internal culture that is very much "We are here to provide SPACE FOR EVERYONE, even the assholes, yes, even THOSE assholes. No, I don't like them either. They're still allowed to be here."
Anyone who doesn't agree with that, doesn't last.
That said, I think Tiffany's statements mean
1) Her approaches to problems draw too heavily on anti terminology -whether or not she agrees with any of it, she's unconsciously feeding their agenda by using their terms.
2) She's not clear on what she wants to accomplish or change, rather than what she perceives as the problems.
3) She does not have online job experience - while none of us did when the OTW started, right now, that's a red flag. It means she doesn't know what the communication & logistics problems are, doesn't understand the process of getting things done in a setting like this.
4) She's concerned about public opinion about the OTW and AO3, rather than the opinions of the active and would-be users. I can understand that - if you hear a lot of yelling about "how can you be involved with those HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT CRIMES," you might want to point out that no, we don't support crimes, so maybe we could make some statements about that. But I think it means she's too new to fandom drama to understand that that has always been the background of AO3, and that there is absolutely no way to convince "the public" that we are not supporting crimes, so we need to not waste energy trying.
5) Her ideas on fixing security are based on a recent hack/intrusion problem rather than an understanding of the total infrastructure and the requirements/limitations of the people using the features.
The Reddit thread believes a 10-year-old account and a claim "I am a newbie" is a red flag - I don't. I think that's "I've had an account forever but I have just recently gotten involved."
Reddit thinks it's a red flag that she's worried about being called a "pedophile" if she admits she writes fanfic - I don't. I worry that she runs in the kind of social groups that might do that, but I don't think it's a red flag to not want to risk being publicly reviled over a misunderstanding.
(I'm Pagan. I'm queer. There are people who think that means I'm evil. I get to be as public as I want - I won't lose my job over stupid inaccurate accusations. I don't know if she has that same assurance.)
CONCLUSION:
I don't think Tiffany is a good candidate for the Board. I think she doesn't have the right experience or the right approach. I think she's clueless in some areas, not malicious. I don't think she wants to destroy AO3; I think she doesn't realize how some of her ideas sound like it.
WORST CASE - if she somehow has a swarm of supporters we can't see (...which I doubt) (I would expect them to be speaking up on Twitter & Reddit), and she gets on the Board, she would be one vote among several. (Seven? Nine? I see 7 listed on the OTW website but I thought we're supposed to have 9? But I haven't kept up with the details.)
She's not running for Supreme Leader of the OTW. She's running to be one person on a committee.
---
I can entirely understand her approach of "hey, they are calling us pedophiles; that is HORRIBLE and we need to do something about that!"
I don't think she understands that "say nothing and don't change our policies" is, in fact, doing something about that. That it is the most effective action we could take. And because I don't think she understands that, I don't want her on the board.
But I don't think it's a disaster that she's running and I'm not worried about the future of the OTW.

in an ayato mood after i got him on a single pull :)
here are some thoughts that have been floating around
Tumblr media
// tw ; unhealthy power dynamics, manipulation, toxic relationships, financial abuse, baby trapping
Tumblr media
yan! ayato who is enamored with ayaka's close friend, even more interesting if his darling is cozying up to ayaka for personal gain ; how long will you keep up your nice facade? ayaka is a sweet kind girl, she may be fooled but nothing truly escapes ayato's gaze
continuing on that idea, let us say kamisato ayaka isn't as naive as you thought ; she finds your efforts to cater to her adorable & makes no comment as you dote on her every need. her position leaves her quite lonely so don't let your pretty eyes stray from her for a second
it's a dangerous combo of power wealth & status, you've been dancing in their palms the entire time and it's best you don't try to leave, least they need to shackle you physically
yan! ayato as a modern day ceo with an investigator darling. there is corruption in the inazuman tri commission and it's your goal to bring light to their unsavory business methods. this fits well with a person who has been wronged by the yashiro commission ; perhaps someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time. ayato originally sees no reason to get involved as the shuumatsuban can clean up loose ends, yet he might have to take you more seriously when you apply to be his secretary. you have no evidence against ayato and he's found it quite amusing to dangle evidence just to destroy it completely. he's not sure why he's still keeping you around but your admiration is amusing and the despair that paints your face with every dead end is too delicious to ignore. don't even think of resigning, have you forgotten the agreement you signed before starting?
yan! toxic boyfriend ayato :)
ayato is a person who works behind the scenes at all times, you didn't get the job you wanted? that's just too bad. someone beat you to the new apartment you wanted to move to? no worries you can move in with your loving boyfriend who has enough money to support both of you. you got pregnant despite using birth control? you don't need to worry about anything ayato will always be here for you.
yan! ayato with a spy darling ; he's always known who you were, an informant for a rival clan. to keep you close he passes on falsified information so that eventually your clan will think you've betrayed them ; you've been forced into a corner, begging ayato for mercy and protection from your family. you aren't aware there's truly no need for protection, the moment your clan had planned to silence you was the moment they ceased to exist.
yan! ayato with a childhood friend darling. regardless if you don't remember playing with him and his sister in chinju forest, he still remembers your promise to marry him under the sacred sakura all those years ago.
yan! faceless ayato inspired by michiru ichijou from mieruko-chan. you can see his true appearance and he can't help but spiral into obsession!! ( this concept will be a fic btw )
yan! ayato with a fake marriage!! you suggest it to get out of an unsavory relationship, adding kamisato to your name would make you untouchable. you haven't realized you walked straight into a trap ; ayato has always desired you and now that you're legally binded there is no escape. bonus points if this is set in a historical isekai setting.
"you wouldn't be confessing such feelings if you didn't believe all cards are in your hand, what exactly are you plotting sir kamisato?" the strained smile you were holding had already started to twitch, "if this is some sort of joke i don't find it very funny."
"i'm quite glad my spouse is already aware of how i think, i'm sure we both know my desires for you aren't in jest songbird," ayato smirks, his eyes swirled with an emotion you didn't want to identify, "i'm not interested in ending our marriage, surely you are aware of our differences?"
he didn't need to spell it out. with his wealth and influence escape would be nigh impossible.
"you, how much of this have you planned?" you don't actually want to know, the feeling of helplessness had already sunk into your bones.
ayato just offers you a smile. in all your time working alongside him, you'd seen countless of his rehearsed smiles. chills shot down your spine, you'd never seen such a genuine expression on his face.

Took You Long Enough
Karina (Aespa) x M Reader
Genre: Smut, Fluff (cause I'm a sucker for it)
WC: 4021
AN: This is my first non-Twice member smut so please be kind to it. Karina is a babe so why not.
Tumblr media
It's almost midnight when you finally decided to call it a day, you've put extra hours in your work. It is safe to say you're setting yourself up to make an impact, it's your first job after college and you want to be promoted as fast as possible. Besides, that extra overtime pay wouldn't hurt but ultimately that pay raise is your goal. You have fixed your stuffs and ready to go when your phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it is impossible not to sigh. However, it's impossible to disregard the call either so you answered.
"Babe! Can you pick me up?" A girl who obviously had her fill of alcohol is on the other side of the video call. Voice loud, people busy in the background.
From the looks of it, she and her three girl friends are already outside the club and looking for means to go home. All of them are more than tipsy, their giggles gave it away.
"Do you know what time is it, Jimin?" You didn't try to mask the annoyance in your voice.
"I know it's late so please, can you pick me up?" She acts all cute and fluffy in response to your annoyed answer. She just knows what buttons to press to get what she wants.
Of course, you will fetch her. It's already been decided from the start. It's just always this way with her.
--
"Thanks babe!" She is beaming widely.
She is now in your car, and you're driving her home.
"Stop calling me that Jimin." You said in a soft but firm manner. You have your reasons why you don't want to be called that pet name.
See, you and Jimin are just friends; very close friends. Even though most of the times you act more than that label, no one dared to talk about feelings. She is your muse, that is clear to see. Yet, you've kept your emotions in check. You two are polar opposites, that is the very big reason why you are afraid. She is this carefree spirit, who enjoys going out and spending time with friends. Most of the time she just indulges in life's pleasure, a complete turn off for you if it's not her.
On the other side of the spectrum, you and your over enthusiasm to accomplish your dreams in life. Evident in how you hustle every day, taking life seriously. You've come from slightly humble beginnings hence the mindset. As you have said earlier, exact opposites but that didn't stop you from being good friends.
"You should start calling me Karina, you know." She chose to disregard what you said.
Karina. There's a nice ring to it. It fits her so well, especially how she looks tonight. Her long neck, collarbone exposed in that black top. Her sharp features and the ponytail that framed her face. She is crazy beautiful and you even doubt beautiful is an enough of a word. You already know guys tried to hit on her in the club, you're thankful you are the one to take her home and not some random guy she met.
"Yeah, okay." It is your safe answer. Deep inside you prefer calling her Jimin rather than her new name. One, it feels more intimate. Two, you don't even understand the reason why she legally changed it.
"Can you please stop acting all mad? I don't like it.'"
"I'm not mad." You replied, trying to explain.
"Oh come on (YN), do you expect me to believe that? I know you."
In all honesty, you're not mad per se. You're frustrated that you could not tell her how you feel. How you're not able to take care for her, and worry for her without spilling all your feelings. You know to yourself you're tired of playing all pretend, but it's Jimin and you could not stand to be away from her so you're scared to take the risk.
"I'm sorry Ji- Karina, I just had a very long day at work." It's the best excuse you can give to rectify the situation without making things awkward.
"We need to talk (YN)." She is serious and almost business like.
You can feel her eyes looking intently towards you. It is a complete lie if you say you're not nervous when you hear her words. You did your best to avoid her gaze, thankfully you have the road to focus into. It is not the first time she invited you to "talk", you've done that way too many times as college classmates. The difference is you always have an idea of what it was about back then. Right now however, you do not or maybe you do; maybe you're just not ready enough to talk about it.
--
She dragged you inside her apartment. She's living alone, perks of having a wealthy family. Maybe it is also the reason why she treats life less seriously than you. You have been here before but there is a different feeling to it this time, you could not help but to fidget around looking anxious.
"You need to relax." She hands you a glass of water which you immediately drink. It seems she noticed, it's just so obvious not to.
Karina takes her seat next to you. She is a total babe, a living doll. She is breathtaking, you are desperate for more water that you tip the glass towards your mouth only to feel nothing. It is already empty. You looked like a fool with it. She laughs at your expense but you could not blame her, it is a complete blooper from you. Although it warms your heart to see her like that, you always want to see her happy. In the first time since you were confined in the walls of her apartment, you relaxed your defenses. A bad choice, or a good one you don't know as you are beyond shocked to what is currently happening.
Karina's lips are on yours as she takes her chance to straddle. Dumbfounded, you do not know what to do. You're just frozen, all that is registering in your amazingly still processing brain is the feeling of her weight on your lap and the softness of her lips.
"It's high time we settle this." Her voice cuts your trance.
"What are you doing Karina?"
She places a finger on your lips as as she satisfactorily smiles.
"Let's do this first, then we'll talk okay?" There is that sultriness in her voice.
"But, but. I think you're just drunk."
"Maybe I am, but no buts." Her lip biting adds more tension to an already thick air.
She goes back to kissing you, the way her lips make contact with yours feels like a dream. For sure, you have always wanted to kiss her but there is that reluctant feeling inside you hindering you from fully responding. There is a puzzling sense lurking in the background, why does her kiss conveys so much emotions? Is this all true? Are you just imagining things? Questions, your mind is full of them.
"Stop overthinking." Her deep beautiful eyes look at you, sincere but quite reassuring.
"If this doesn't mean anything to you, then just think of it as fulfillment of lusts. I would like to assume you find me hot, am I not?" 
"Yes, but-" She interrupted your sentence again the same way she did earlier.
"I said no buts, remember?" She smiled coyly before going back to your lips. She is always alluring, confident in her own skin and why not. She has all the right to.
You resigned to go with it, this is your dream turned reality after all. There is no use overthinking and spoil all the fun. Besides, it's not like you forced yourself into her. It's Jimin or Karina, the name doesn't matter as of now. Obviously there are things to straighten after, it's just her kiss is slowly getting overwhelming by the minute. There is no wrong or right at the moment, only pleasure; a thing a man always choose. Of course it applies to you.
You somehow can feel her smirk in between the kiss; she is surely delighted you finally responds to her advances. Without you noticing, your hands travel down her back pulling her closer. It is not the first time that you're wrapped around each other's bodies, she has no qualms on casually hugging you before. It's the first however that your lips are locked, intentions clear.
Karina is in a state of high, her eyes heavy with the haze of lust and wanting. She picks up your hands and place them on top her chest. It is a green light for you to touch her and do what you want. She is smiling, she is proud of herself for doing it.
Your hands are shaking, there is nervousness still. The feel of her tits albeit still clothed sitting perfectly on your hands is more than enough for you to lose your mind. Of course, you have fantasized this moment; and who wouldn't for she is hot as hell. It is just surreal for it to finally happen. It's crazy enough just like this, what more to touch it bare. She was clearly enjoying the attention.
"Nothing's going to happen if you don't move your hands." She purposefully leans more towards you, squishing her mounds in the process. You take one big gulp of saliva.
"Karina." You racked your brains in search of a reply and that is all that you can manage.
"Stop talking and touch me." She put her hands on top of yours and urges you to caress her tits. "Let's get you out of this shall we?"
She starts to unbutton your shirt and peel it off successfully. Karina trace your skin with her finger from your lips, to your neck down to your chest, and finally landing on your nipple making circles around it. Masterful seduction for sure. The bulge under your pants could not be hidden anymore. Your dick wants to be free and be given attention. She knows it too of course so she slowly jerks her waist above your crotch.
"Fuck, it turns me on so much just looking at your reactions babe. You really want me, don't you?"
"Yes! I want you so much, Karina." Of course there's more to it than just lust.
"Really? Then why don't you pull down your pants for me."
Her words are rule of law that you do not dare to disobey, your pants are completely off almost instantly in one stroke; like your body was just waiting for the command to do it. Your dick fully erect and freed from clothes stands proudly, aching for more attention, and leaking precum at its head. Karina's jaw dropped at sight.
"I know you have a big dick but I did not know it was this big." Her hands already wrapped around your shaft, stroking its length. She is rubbing your tip as it continuously to pump out precum at the process, slathering it around making your dick slippery. 
All you could do was to grunt and moan at her amazing handjob. The strokes of her hand is an absolute masterpiece. She controls the pace perfectly on point, speeding it up for maximum pleasure then slowing it down to prolong the session. Her eyes completely fixed on you, watching every twist of your face. She clearly loves the idea of control, and she is using it to full advantage.
"Do you want me to suck your cock babe?" She whispers in your ear.
Once again you are completely malfunctioning. You didn't expect to hear these words coming from Karina's mouth, not to you at the very least. Here is this girl that you like and adore, a girl who you are afraid to fall into if you haven't yet already, asking you if you want her to suck your dick. You want to say no out of respect and adoration but it's your chance to fulfill a fantasy. You're in quite a dilemma.
"I promise it will be so good."
Karina stands up, it hurts to feel that separation. She once again bites her lips, then proceeds to take off her top. Her boobs make your mouth water, barely held by her strapless bra. She takes off her skirt next, lets it fall to the floor. You have seen her on a bikini once for a quick summer vacation, and that picture on your mind is still clear as day. But nothing compares to the view you have now. In her underwear, you can't help but fully lust for her. You cannot take your eyes off and she know she got your attention. Karina turn around for good measure, seductive in her twirl. The attention is feeding her ego, driving her libido more and more.
"Enjoying what you see?" She acts shy by biting her fingers and looking away. You know it's all just for show but it just makes you want her even more. You nod without thinking twice.
On her way down, she leaves a trail of kisses on your chest, then on your navel and on your thighs. The close proximity of her head to your member is making you anticipate even more. Thankfully she did not keep you waiting. Karina takes hold or your hard dick and smile on the idea of you throbbing to her touch. She uses her tongue to start her feast, slathering your tip with her saliva. You gasp at the sensation; it is too good to be true. From the base of your cock, she starts to lick towards your head before fully putting it whole to her warm and wet mouth. 
"Fuck Karina, where did you learn to do that?" You hold her head to anchor yourself from the overwhelming pleasure.
She responded in all muffled words for she did not let up with her sucking. Her mouth is quite occupied at the moment. You are quite thankful that is the case, you don't want to know to be honest. Watching her devour your cock is such an erotic sight, you know it will trigger your orgasm sooner than you want it so you decide against doing it. However even looking away, you can still hear the sloppiness of her wet mouth having her fill of your dick and her mumbled moans.
"I'm going to cum soon if you don't stop Karina." You are already struggling to hold it all.
Fortunately, she stops with her blowjob allowing your dick to rest for a bit. Karina is licking the corners of her lips, still continuing to seduce you. She is so good at it.
"I know you will like this." She raised her bra a bit enough to reveal a crease in her underboob. Taking your slick hard dick and putting it in between her pushed up tits. You already what's coming but you could not prepare enough for the sensation of her big boobs choking your cock. You moan loud as a result.
Having that confidence that you love the act, Karina moves her boobs up and down. A full blown titfuck just like you imagine, maybe even better. She is acting like a complete slut, and you're so into it as well. Your orgasm is catching up with you fast and you don't know if you can last any longer.
"I'm going to cum, Karina. Fuck!"
"Cum between my tits, please babe."
That you did, bursting between her mounds painting it white. Her tits are now dripping with all your slick liquids.
"Look at the mess you've made. Enjoyed it much?" Karina is playing with your cum with her fingers and take a quick lick of it. "You taste so good, babe."
You just lay in the couch catching your breath, still shocked to what just happened. Karina moves to kiss your lips.
"We're not done yet. I'll just grab some tissue to clean up your mess." She winks at you as she goes to fetch the tissues. When she came back, she's rubbed clean of all your mess. Karina looks at your still hard dick and licks her lips again. "Hard again for me huh?"
"I want to fuck you Karina!" You are surprised by the words that you blurted out. You notice Karina felt the same. She laughs, amused at your choice of words.
"You will! But not yet." She pushes you again to lay back on the couch. She straddles on your lap again resuming to make out.
This time it is more lustful as you return her kisses with fervor, gone is the holding back and reservations. You are more than determined to fuck her, to be inside her pussy, to fulfill your fantasy. Your hands now freely travel throughout her whole body, but you linger in her breasts. You have always been a big fan of her boobs. The touch stokes her fire as Karina responds with even more intense kissing.
"Fuck babe, I'm getting so horny by your touch." She reaches out to her back to unclasp her bra, letting her perfect breasts to fall into your hands. You have been aching for the chance to touch it bare, caress it and your wish is granted finally. Her boobs are so soft and smooth to the touch, you just want to bury your head and drown yourself happily.
"They're so big and soft Karina. I want them every day." You're not holding your words now.
"You can touch these tits whenever you want babe." She arches her back to give you better access to her boobs and you happily obliged by sucking her nipples while your free hand grabs the other. Meanwhile Karina starts to rub her clit against your cock. Her wetness already leaking in her panty. It is a big tease of what's to come but you're contented for now. You'll let your muse tease herself until she could not take it anymore.
It was not long until she grows tired of the fabric of her underwear getting in the way, so she drags her panty to the side to expose her wet pussy. Karina did not waste any time to continue what she was doing. She resumes jerking her hips, finally rubbing genitals flesh into flesh. The underside of your dick is now covered in her juices as her clit traces your length. Her moans steadily increasing in each of her hips' movement.
You rip her underwear like its paper. You too think it’s getting in the way. "Oops! I hope this is not expensive." You take a sniff of her torn underwear bringing it to your nose. It smells heavenly of course.
"Pervert!"
"Says the one who's grinding on top of a dick, moaning loudly as well."
"Fair enough, ahhh!" She is smiling while she moans. She is so damn sexy and you want her right now. You stand up making sure that she'll not fall, then turn around and place Karina under you. With her back on the couch, you spread her legs to take position in between. Her fat pussy on display waiting to be fucked, ready to be used.
You didn't wait for anything as you take a plunge. There is that sense of completeness when you finally speared her to your hilt. You've been dreaming for this day to come, and the sensation is way better than your expectation.
"Your dick is so big babe, it feels so good inside me."
Karina gorgeous body rocks every time you thrust. You start slow, enjoying the process of sliding in and out her wet clit.
"Feel so good to finally fuck your pussy Karina."
"I guess you waited-ugh for so long-ahh to fuck me. How does it hmmm-feel to finally be inside me?"
"I love it, I love you Karina."
Your eyes tell her what you wanted to say. It's more than just sex. It's beyond that. She smiles in acknowledgment. You're both too horny to think of something else.
"Then please-ahhh, make love to me harder."
That is all you need to hear from her. You are now on top of Karina with your bodies pressed against each other. You are feeding off each other's heat. You increase your pace, for actions speak louder than words. Curses and wordless moans should be heard but muffled grunts are the ones that accompanied the horny scene. You silence each other by kissing with your tongues intertwined.
"Ahh fuck me from behind, oh my-ahh please babe."
You didn't need to be told twice, both taking your positions in a flash. You take your time to appreciate just how sexy Karina is. She is criminally unfair. Although you did not linger long, her pussy is so precious to be kept waiting. Besides, your dick is aching to be sheathed again
Slipping inside her once more, you feel at home in her walls. Karina is perfectly positioned, on her knees and pussy spread for your access. The slapping sounds of sex and profanities highlights each short and fast jerks. The sight of her jiggling booty adds to the overwhelming visuals. You grab her ponytail ever so gently to lift her head up while you take her from behind.
"Ugh-ahhh just like that babe. Ahhh-fuck me ahh-just like that. Don't you fuck-ahhh dare stop."
You obey her, you will not let up not until you fucked her brains out. Reaching out to her bouncing tits to grab a hold of them, you continue to use her until you feel her walls closing upon you.
"Shit babe! I'm cumming-ahhh. I am- ahhhhh!" Her hips bucks as Karina's pussy squirts her orgasm. You feel that your dick is going to be pushed out of how intense the flow is. But as all liquid is designed, it will leak in the tiniest of spaces; her juices drips on her legs, some to the sofa while others on the floor. You wait for her to relax and let her enjoy her release.
"I can't leave you hanging, can I?" She grinds her hips to stimulate your still buried cock.
"Hell no." You hold her hips to pull her closer to your thrusts. Almost immediately, you found the pace that works for you, ready to chase again your pinnacle.
"Cum inside me, babe! You've been such a good fuck." Her back against you, head tips upward to you locked into a kiss. Hands now playing with her tits. It's the perfect position to let it all go. In what seems like the end of time, you sink your dick deep and orgasmed. Ropes of your seed shoots out inside her, mixing with her own. You sink to the couch with her. Her used pussy leaks out of the mixed juices when you pulled out.
"You're mine Karina." You move to kiss her shoulders. She seems to glow, beautiful than ever. Basking in the afterglow of sex.
"Took you long enough." You can clearly hear her smile. She turns around to face you.
"I wished I let you know sooner. We could have been together for years now. I'd love to track down every guy that laid a finger on you." There is a tiny hint of hurting in your voice.
"It's your fault you know, I thought you weren't even interested on me."
"I thought I was really obvious. And besides I'm afraid we will not work out. We're polar opposites remember?" You guess it's the right time to lay it all out.
"Well it doesn't matter now. You better play catch up then. Make up for lost time." You know her too much that you know her statement has a double meaning.
"I guess I have to do that."
"I love you (YN)!" Your heart melted. You've been craving for those words.
"I love you too Karina. You're the number one reason why I want to succeed in life."
After a long and passionate kiss, you see that naughty smile of hers.
"Round 2?" She's even more seductive.
"Let's!"

Tumblr media
"For the last time, I don't know what you're talking about! And no, I'm not saying anything else until I get a lawyer.”
You lean back in your seat defiantly, folding your arms over your chest. Strands of white hair frame the face of the officer opposite you, offset by his red eyes boring into yours and searching for even a hint of deceit in your gaze. When he finds nothing, his stern stare doesn’t change, but he exhales slowly and leaves the room. 
The other officer in the room gets up and hands you a glass of water. He has messy gray hair and teal eyes, and because of his simple kindness you think he must be slightly friendlier than the one who was interrogating you. “Hey, can you let me out of here? I haven’t done anything wrong, I swear!” Asking one of the guys who arrested you to set you free is a definite shot in the dark, but you suppose it’s better than nothing. He doesn’t reply, but he quirks an eyebrow and you frantically scan the name on his tag, “...Al-Haitham? Listen, I seriously was just minding my own business when you stopped us. Is it even legal to randomly bring people in?!” Haitham rests against the cabinet in the back of the room and doesn’t answer your question, “Why do you want to be set free?” “Because I want to go home, dumbass. Is that so difficult to understand?” you scowl at him, and somewhere in the back of your mind you can hear a voice saying that it’s probably best if you don’t insult the officer in charge for now, but you choose to ignore it. “No.” He doesn’t elaborate or offer a reaction and you groan.
This has got to be the most idiotic conversation you have ever had, and you once argued with Aether and Lumine for an hour about whether water was wet. And you don’t even have anyone to blame, you and Kaeya were just driving around with him pointing out the sights when an officer pulled you over for a random inspection and decided to bring you over to the station without even an explanation. If you had just shut up and stayed home, by now your apartment would be unpacked and ready, but instead you’re stuck in a dreary room with tiled floors and stained walls. 
Just then, the door swings open and the officer who left earlier enters with an indecipherable expression, “You can leave. Haitham, escort them out.” Relief swells in your heart, and you jump off the chair and practically skip out, accompanied by Al-Haitham. In the main lobby of the police station, you notice a tall man with blue hair and matching eyes surveying the area with an aura so intimidating it’s as if he was the owner. A chirpier blonde man scans the room, and when his green eyes land on you, his face breaks out into a huge smile, “Sir Kamisato, Y/N’s here.” 
Kamisato? The name rings a bell, and you mentally dig around your brain until it clicks. Wait. Kamisato? As in Kamisato Ayato, the heir to Yashiro, one of the biggest corporations in Teyvat?! And more importantly, why does he seem to know you? The two of them stroll up to you, and the blonde man sticks his hand out to shake yours vigorously, “Hello! I’m Thoma, Kamisato Ayato’s bodyguard, chauffeur, retainer…” Ayato tilts his head, “It’s safe to say he is very multi-talented. And so are you, it seems.” “Pardon?” You’re not sure what he’s insinuating until his smile turns cunning, “Not everyone manages to end up getting interrogated by the Chief Officer Cyno.” You frown, irritation edging your tone, “I think we both know I would prefer that hadn’t happened. How do you even know who I am?” “I’m a friend of Aether’s,” Ayato smiles mysteriously, but before he can elaborate further, the door opens so roughly that it slams against the wall and threatens to break off its hinges as a group of guys stumble in.
“I had advised you against rushing in,” a tall man with a long ponytail sighs, “I’m not sure why you request for advice that you instantly ignore.” “For fun! Or perhaps you don’t know what that means, Zhongli,” a much shorter man with twin braids grins, “Anyway, it’s a good thing that Ragnvindr guy got fired.” “Indeed. He would have locked Y/N up without a second thought,” Zhongli agrees before adding, “But I still believe you should have followed my advice.” “I think that must be Y/N over there!” another man with artfully messy maroon hair and a mole dotting his cheek cuts in before their bickering can start again and points at you. You’re staring blankly at this whole exchange when yet another man with white hair streaked with red steps forward to introduce himself, “Kaedehara Kazuha, at your service. Aether instructed us to bring you back to the florist.” 
Now you’re really getting annoyed. “I’ve had quite enough of people claiming to know Aether, thank you very much. I’ll find my own way back.” “Unfortunately, that will not be possible,” a man with brown hair and blue eyes replies, “It’s too dangerous to let you go alone. Aether would be very worried.” “Not to mention he would have our heads!” the short man pipes up, to which the maroon hair knocks him on the top of his head, “Shut up, Venti.” “If Aether’s so worried, why can’t he come get me himself?” you glower, and all of them unconsciously take a step back at the intensity of your death stare. 
“Seeing as we were the ones who got Y/N out, perhaps it would be best if we sent her back-” Thoma starts, but is easily shut down by Zhongli, “No. That is not a feasible option considering our clear differences.” The simple sentence seems to hint at something much heavier, and Thoma groans before admitting defeat. “Just let us send you back,” Kazuha pleads, “On a samurai’s honour, you will return safely.” You jut your chin outwards, “That’s not enough. I want to know the truth as well.” “The… truth?” “Yes. I’m 100% certain it’s not normal for me to be interrogated about all the people working at some flower shop in the middle of nowhere.” “Did you say anything?” the maroon headed man’s gaze flicks sharply to yours, and Kazuha swats his arm, “Heizou, even if they did-” “Did you?” Heizou presses on and you give him a dirty look, “No. I’m not an idiot. Or a snake.” “Better than Kaeya, at least,” Venti snickers, and Heizou elbows him, “Kaeya isn’t a snake… he’s just slippery.” But even Heizou’s voice sounds doubtful.
Then he snaps himself out of it, “Regardless, we will be taking you back now. And good job for not saying anything.” Heizou turns around and starts to walk away, flanked by everyone except Kazuha, who at least gives you an apologetic shrug first. You glance at Ayato and Thoma as if seeking assistance, but all you see is an amused smile playing about Ayato’s lips and a tight smile on Thoma’s face. When he catches you looking, Ayato smirks, “Don’t worry. I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other soon. Get home safe.” 
With no other choice, you sigh, groan, and roll your eyes in quick succession before hurrying after them. Maybe taking up Aether’s offer wasn’t such a good idea after all. 
— 
After what has to be both the longest and simultaneously most awkward car ride you have ever been in your life (it wasn’t helped by the fact that the driver was the most muscled man you have ever seen, and he wouldn’t shut up the entire time), you finally reach the florist and you’re ready to just crash into bed. But the minute you see Aether silhouetted in the doorway, your fatigue disappears, replaced by a desperate desire to know what’s really going on. From the secretive looks shared between the men in the car and the two guys at the police station, not to mention the fact that their so-called office is situated at the edge of the city, it feels like everyone is in on a secret and you’re purposely being kept out of the loop. 
“What the hell is going on, Aether? I trusted you. Why won’t you do the same for me?” That barrage of questions is the first thing that comes out of your mouth when you’re close enough to speak to him. It feels like a dam in your mind’s been broken and all your worries about jumping headfirst into a suggestion with so many unknowns combined with your stress from being fired and evicted are flooding out. “Listen, Y/N,” Aether looks pained, and the seriousness of his expression is enough to make you stop in your tracks before you can scold him even more, “I didn’t want to tell you this at first, but now I think it’s best if you know. Would you mind having a seat?”
You pull up a chair and look expectantly at him, “So, what is it?” Aether sits opposite you, seeming as if a million and one things are rushing through his mind at the speed of a bullet train, “You remember my sister, don’t you?” “Yeah, Lumine. Of course I do,” you don’t understand where he’s going with this. Obviously you remember his sister; the three of you were inseparable in university, but the two of them had always been joined at the hip, closer than any other siblings you had seen before. You often wondered just how much the two of them had been through that bound them so close together. But as uni friends often do, you all had fallen out of contact, your rare interactions stemming from mere posts on social media, and even that had trickled to an end eventually. “Right. Well, she’s gone missing,” Aether can’t meet your eyes when he admits it. “What?!” it takes you a few seconds to process, “What do you mean?” “Gone without a trace. Not even a text,” he sounds clinical, detached from the story as if he’s gone over this many times in the past.
“But… what happened? Lumine wouldn’t just up and leave like that.” “I’m not sure if you remember, but Lumi was always into journalism. She was always busy looking for ‘the next big scoop’, and she had special obsession with politics. She liked exploring, poking around in places she shouldn’t be, and…” here his voice breaks slightly, but he forces himself to continue, “I think that she saw something she wasn’t supposed to, and they took her away.” “Who did?” “The government; the Abyss Order. Or maybe the Fatui.” You shudder at the mention of the government’s special operations service; they’ve been rumoured to have murdered hundreds, if not thousands, of people globally without hesitation nor remorse – they acted purely according to instruction. 
“What does that have to do with this place? Or me?” While you’re reeling from the impact of what he’s just accused the Abyss Order of, you still want to know how this correlates to your current situation. “Well, I obviously wanted to get her back. So I started searching around, hunting for information, that kind of thing. And I found out that Lumine wasn’t the only potential victim. There were people disappearing all the time, I’d see their families posting about it online. But I didn’t want to stop at just a cry for help on some random internet forum - I wanted to go further. I wanted to find Lumine and punish those who had unjustly taken her.” Your mouth feels dry, and you’re not sure how much you want to hear what comes next, but you know it’s something that you have to listen to. 
“I found a bunch of people with similar mindsets who had the same thing happen to them, and we…” his voice trails off, but he keeps going, “We started what could be called a support group at best… but a gang at worst. And we don’t do anything bad, I promise. We just keep our ears to the ground and find out things we aren’t supposed to know, and Y/N, you won’t believe how deep this corruption runs within the system.” “So, essentially you invited me here, knowing how badly I needed a job and a place to stay, just to work as a cover for a gang,” your throat feels tight, and your heart is threatening to shatter, “Y’know, for a second there, I really thought you genuinely cared.” You move to leave, but Aether stands in your path, “But I do! I didn’t mean to involve you in this business at all, you were just supposed to live your dream and run a peaceful flower shop and stay in the apartment upstairs. You weren’t supposed to find out about any of this.” Your gaze softens – you’ve known Aether long enough to know when he’s lying and when he’s telling the truth, and you recognise that he honestly wanted to keep you in the dark about the whole thing.
“But now that I do know, what are you going to do?” “Nothing,” Aether states, a mask of calmness slipping into place, “What happens next is up to you.” “What?” “You can either go to the police and tell them everything I just told you,” he begins, “Or you can stay with us, and work, as you put it, as a cover for a gang.” You fall silent, the protests bubbling up on your lips dying in seconds as you do your best to observe the circumstances rationally and figure out what to do next. But deep down, you already know what you’re going to choose. Perhaps your decision was decided for you the second you met Aether in that coffee shop. You don’t even listen to how he’s explaining, “-if anything happens, you can claim plausible deniability-” before you say, “I’m staying. I can’t leave you now.” “Really?” Aether’s in disbelief, but he manages a grin when you nod, “I’ll be your spy florist.” 
And that’s the story of how you ended up as a florist for a gang. It wasn’t that great of a job, but the people you got to interact with daily made things much better, and if anything, that’s where the real story starts – within the elysian new life you carved out for yourself.

Chapter Eight: School Breakfast
I woke at four and dressed for school when I was well enough. I helped Lian tie her shoes and did chores with Roy. So, all the tasks students had were assigned by the week. If I had the stables one week, I had kitchen duty the next week, trash duty, and classroom cleaning, and then we would start over. Kitchen duty was intense. I started at five in the morning with Roy and Donna. They wanted me to help make breakfast. I had to make waffle batter for over a hundred kids. Four different ways. Roy sat Tommy in a high chair, and Lian refilled the napkins. "Thank you, Lian," Roy smiled. Lian nodded and stood beside me on a stool.
"You're doing a good job," Lian reassured me. I relaxed my shoulders and smiled. "Daddy's gonna be so proud of you."
"Thanks, Lian. That makes me feel good," I replied honestly.
"That's how you deserve to feel," Lian grinned. My throat went dry, and I teared up. It was the first time I'd wanted to cry since I was a kid. I hadn't cried in so long, but that did something to me. Roy picked up on it immediately.
"Hey, Grant, can you help me with one of the sign-in charts for the lunchroom?" Roy asked. I nodded and followed him to the lunchroom entrance while Donna finished making the waffles. "You alright?"
I shut my eyes until they stopped watering. "Uh-huh... Yeah... I felt weird for a second, but I'm okay now," I replied.
"What happened?" Roy asked. His voice was painfully gentle.
"Nothing... I mean... I'm not used to feeling special," I replied, "I don't know... What she said back there-. I got choked up for a second."
"Thanks for sharing that with me. I think I understand. Are you really okay, though?" Roy questioned. I nodded. "Kitchen duty kicking your backside yet?"
"I never had to cook back home. I had-. They were traditional," I replied, "So this is all new to me..."
Roy named the kids that came in, and I checked their names on the clipboard list. Bart ran straight into me, and he stopped in his tracks. "What's the matter?" Roy asked.
"I couldn't sleep. My uncle didn't call last night," Bart replied, "And I still don't know who's picking me up for the family week."
Roy looked Bart in the eye and took the clipboard from me. He flipped to the last page and wrote something down before handing the piece of paper to Bart. "But I can-."
"It's okay, Bart. If anyone needs a soft day, it's you," Roy replied, "I'll bring you your breakfast."
Bart nodded and left the cafeteria. "What's a soft day?" I asked.
"It's basically a mental health day. We all take them sometimes," Roy answered, "This school is here to build you guys up, not force you to put on smiles and pretend things are fine when they're not."
"No kiddin'... You really care about kids, don't you?" I whispered. I didn't mean to say that out loud, but I'm a dork like that.
"I care about everybody," Roy replied, "Cody, what are you doing here?"
"Got switched back to kitchen duty because some kid lost their kitchen privileges," Cody replied, "Are you supervising here today?"
"Mhm, know what that means? Wanna turn on the radio and show Grant how to set the table?" Roy asked.
"Waffles today?" Cody asked.
"Yup," Roy replied.
Cody led me back to the kitchen and turned on the radio. "So, you live with Roy and not in the dorms?" Cody asked. I nodded. "You're gonna fill the shakers for the tables with cinnamon sugar. The little kids like sprinkles, so we fill shakers with sprinkles too. I'll do the sprinkles."
Cody set out the shakers and the cinnamon sugar. "What are the dorms like?" Grant asked.
"It sucks when your roommate moves out, especially if you get along with them. I got a new roommate, but we don't talk much. People say I'm hard to get along with because I can be a jerk sometimes," Cody replied. I shrugged it off and filled the shakers. "Sorry about the other day."
"It's nothin'," I replied.
"You like living with Roy?" Cody asked. He filled the sprinkles jars so fast it made my head spin. "You'll catch up."
"It's okay... Everybody likes him here, or they're acting like it-."
"Oh no, he's as cool as everyone says," Cody replied, "He cares... I got here the same week as two other kids. Then another girl showed up a little while after. He treated us like we were his kids. He still checks in with all of us."
"And you've been here how long?" I asked.
Cody loaded all the full shakers onto two trays. "A couple of months before you. We're gonna put two of each on the table. Let me get the first table to show you," Cody explained. I followed him around and set the shakers out. Once we finished setting them out, Cody gestured for me to follow him. "We're front of the line for breakfast." I stood in line behind him, and we got the same stuff. Waffles, strawberries, sausage, and syrup. The bell rang, and kids started pouring in from all directions. A girl sat next to Cody, and she whispered something to him. He grinned.
"What?" I asked.
"She wanted to know if you were cool," Cody replied, "Audrey, this is Grant. Grant, this is Audrey... Audrey, where's Toni?"
"Caught up cleaning one of the classrooms probably... I bet you they stuck her in Health again," Audrey replied. Audrey. What a babe! But I think she had her sights set on Cody. I could tell by the way she looked at him. I don't think he saw her that way, though. I could tell by the way he looked through her when she talked. Still, I thought she was cute. "Hi, Grant. Nice to meet you," Audrey smiled as she reached to shake my hand.
"Wayyy nicer to meet you, Audrey," I grinned. Hey. Don't blame a guy for trying. Audrey dumped her container of whipped cream on her waffles and covered them in sprinkles.
"Are you staying here during family week?" Audrey asked. I nodded. "Me too. Donna's my dorm parent. It's not so bad staying here during family week. The school's like family anyway."
Cody picked over his waffles. "I said you could come home with my mom and me," Cody muttered.
"Wouldn't that be weird?" Audrey asked.
"My mom knows about you. She said it'd be okay... If it's too short notice, though, you can still come to stay with us, Driscolls, for winter break," Cody offered. Audrey smiled and nodded.
Yeah, there was no way I had a chance with her. Cody had somewhere to go. Lian put a cushion down and sat next to me. Roy put her tray down and asked me to help her while he checked in with some of the kids. "Morning, Lian," Audrey smiled.
"Good morning! Hi, Cody," Lian greeted them. I opened her butter and syrup, and she ate her fruit while I cut up her waffles into bite-sized pieces.
"How's your mom, Lian?" Cody asked.
"She went to D.C.," Lian replied, "Mommy has a big test to take."
"I hope she passes," Cody smiled.
Lian thanked him and ate her breakfast. I liked the meals. It was probably my favorite thing about the school. It wasn't quite family, but it felt pretty close.

Been thinking about STDs in our beloved town and now i have some random theories. When i say town, that includes the farms, forests and islands nearby.
Noone in town has any STDs. The town is incredibly cut off from the rest of the world, my theory is that theyre on an island so it would be only accessible via boat. They have no tvs, almost no phones and only computers seem to be owned by police and Leighton, Mickey is a hacker yes but that's obviously not legal. It would make sense for townsfolk to be able to travel but it doesn't seem like anyone does. They seem completely self sufficient with the farms, a hospital, a school, even their own asylum which you dont see in many small towns. In conclusion, noone ever really leaves the town so they can't track in STDs
But what about the visitors? I'm sure they have to have some, the town is definitely on some map. Perhaps sometimes people get jobs there and move to it. I'd imagine they would be required to go see Harper, if not willingly, some accident that'd put them in the hospital could certainly be arranged. Harper performs the tests and if they are clean, they're free to continue roaming the town. Harper also informs Quinn of the newcomer's temper and Quinn (or some other more important people) decide if the person is allowed to stay.
I can absolutely see a council of some sort, most important townsfolk working together on one thing and one thing alone, and that's keeping the town's secrets intact, making sure nothing gets out or in that shouldn't.
Quinn is 100% in the council, so are Harper, Leighton, Briar, Remy and Bailey - they run the most important locations of the town if we suspect Briar runs the underground Brothel. I could also argue that maybe Jordan is there too, but i'd want more of their background to be sure. Perhaps he'd want to keep outsiders out to make sure they stay uncorrupted by the town?
But back to outsiders. If they come inside and don't pass the vibe check? Well... It's easy to get lost in the sea, isn't it? Waters around the island are just sooo dangerous... Briar, Remy and Harper definitely have ways to make people disappear.
But what if the people who are gone had kids? Well, this is where Bailey comes in, takes the kids and shows them the new way of life, the way it is in town. No love, no affection, hardships only. Bailey protects them until they're adults and thats when the actual hard life starts. It'd also explain why such a small town has so many orphans.
Who gets to stay in town? People who are agressive, for once. Who indulge in the depravities and become one of their own, as long as they're not too dangerous. I dont know why but i could see Briar and Darryl being not born there, they made names for themselves. Darryl fits in the same category as Mason imo, people allowed to stay because they can turn a blind eye to the abuse, even if they can't help. And the other teachers are just... They're kind. But they know their place, do what they can without rocking the boat too much.
Speaking of the council, i'd like to argue that Eden and Morgan were both once in on it, but Eden couldn't take it and chose solitude, and Morgan... Maybe threathened too much. Maybe his child didn't leave him willingly. Maybe someone... Took care of it.
I dunno tho these are just my theories, but i really like the thought of all the town's assholes having one thing where they'd work together, so im gonna go with this and write something in this setting

I told myself i wanted to list out all of my major accomplishments this year to build some confidence in myself and drown out that little voice that always tells me i’m not good enough— It’s been a hard fucking year with a bitter end, but I have hope that after I move & recover from top surgery, my life will be better than ever.

Invested in my comfort, bought a new bed, bed frame, and bedding, as well as comfortable shoes and a vanity setup
Legally changed my name, and updated my drivers license, SSC, laptop, bank, and everything else under the sun to reflect that change
Got my own insurance, & got off my dad’s plan
Became financially independent from my family
Started 2 new jobs, after months of living gig to gig
Got on food stamps, after getting denied once before
Graduated college, despite the horrible time college was for me
Helped organize a student union, & attended protests for budget transparency
Gotten so much better at standing up for myself, walked out of jobs, classes, and relationships where I was being mistreated, and advocated for myself in academic, medical, and work settings (even when it was hard and it resulted in lost opportunities, if you treat people like that I don't want what you're selling!!!)
Started therapy (twice)
Fought tooth and nail for top surgery, and am getting it in 3 days!!!
Visited Brooklyn, Portland, & Martha’s Vineyard all for the first time
Went swimming in the ocean a lot this summer B) & saw sand sculptures for the first time!!
Started taking regular baths, drinking more tea, and stretching more often
Started journaling
Have been eating better, (3 meals a day!) and taking my daily vitamins
Have developed a weekly chore schedule that works for me as an ADHD-haver
Celebrated one year on testosterone!
Finally found a skincare routine that’s starting to clear up my tboy acne
Took dance lessons with a jazz instructor
Made a bunch of cool stuff! like a cast plastic mask, a dress, styled wigs, digital collages, mixes, & prints!
backed up my computer after over 1000 days
recovered from the deep burnout school, drag, competition, and an abusive relationship left me with, and am brimming with fresh ideas to bring into the new year!!
I deserve everything I’ve worked so hard for!!! I’m hot, funny, talented, and kind. I’m a highly decorated, iconic, title holding drag performer and multi-disciplinary artist. I’m a sweet, understanding, and generous friend. I’m a romantic, just filled to the brim with love to share, and I deserve somebody who sees me as an equal, takes me out on romantic dates, and makes me feel loved and beautiful. I deserve a family who sees and accepts me for who I am, and isn’t always looking for the worst in me, or more concerned about being right than communicating honestly. I deserve the opportunity to heal from the massive amounts of abuse and trauma I faced in my life. I deserve to get to be the person I needed when I was younger. I’ve been through so much at 22, and I’m only getting started.
In 2024 I’m going to be bolder, louder, and take up more space. I’m going to be sooooo annoying in peoples DM’s, because you don’t get things you don’t ask for or work for. I’m going to move somewhere cheaper, save up, adopt a cat, and finally see the dentist. I’m going to be in my hot slut era because I’ll be newly single and recovered from top surgery. I’m going to update my resume and apply to shit I’m under-qualified for. I am going to make art like a motherfucker, and enjoy every second of it. I am going to do things that scare me, and go places I've never gone before. I am going to be so in love with myself it’s disgusting. I am going to continue spread joy and chase new experiences, because god damn it that is what I was put on this earth to do!!!

oh man that adoption post reminds me of my own adoption where all my foster siblings (they went to other places, have had 7 foster siblings) all got to choose their own new names but my adoptive mother changed my name to her name and I wasn't allowed to pick my own name or haircut and she destroyed the little information I could've gotten about my birth family lmao
Sorry to tell ya, but the adoption industry is set up where only what the adoptive parents want matters. Kids don't get a choice. If an adoptive parent wants a neurotypical white kid, they'll just refuse all the other ones until they get their pick. Foster to adoption does the same thing but foster parents believe that it'll destroy their chance at bonding with their foster kid if they have the chance to keep contact with their previous family.
It sucks and I really fuckin hope it improves, but in the current state of the system is pretty messed up
man that fucking sucks. I had some weird racist name shit going on between my mom and dad, but I can't imagine how awful that must've been.
I've listened to what a lot of adoptees have to say about adoption, cause I wanna adopt in the future and I don't wanna fuckin traumatize my kid (or like become the legal guardian of a kid who needs it or whatever. Doesn't have to specifically be Legal Adoption)
Before I started looking into what adoptees had to say I already knew shit was fucked, but it was even worse than I'd originally thought.
The lengths some people will go to, to prevent their kids from having contact with birth parents is insane. Like, what are you afraid they're gonna like their birth parents better??? ok, so who cares ??? If you really love your kid it doesn't matter if they've got more than one set of parents. That's still a kid and your feelings about it are NOT their problem, save it for your therapist. Your job as an adoptive parent is to take care of the kid!! It's not about how YOU feel!! They should have the choice!
AUGHHHHaugaughadgshsdu it frustrates me to no end.
I MEAN do you even want to raise a person at that point?? or do you just wanna control someone.

Jobs moving back to inner cities through the effort of study and research groups from urban planning courses from their neighboring colleges .
Tax abatement and financial incentives and business incentives and tax breaks .
Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris should include this law into all of their plan for cleaning up America I'm glad to see it go beyond New York City and other counties in New York I want to share this honor with author Michelle Alexander who I did my research from her book about mass incarceration of the Black and Latino community and the political office and my friends that help put this law in place I reached out to hopefully stop the recidivism to prison and hopefully to help some of my friends and people that go back and forth to jail because they couldn't get a job due to the felonies on their record I recommend a certificate of relief of disabilities to all people returning to society if they haven't given you one go get it from your county's or borough courthouse it works wonders .
Next order of business : Tax cuts to help the everyday person keep more of their check in their pockets cut the tax rates in New York City by 4 percent I see it as New York State taxes % 8.82 to % 4 percent and business tax cuts to create more jobs Proposal For a Wage increase of $ 22 dollars an hour Including : Fire safety directors Security guards Librarians Fed Ex workers UPS workers Ready Willing and able with free vocational grants from access vr programs they should hire vocational rehabilitation counselors and job developers finding permanent housing and permanent job placement after the clients training Stock Clerks and cashier's at major stores like Gristedes , C Town , met foods , Burlington coat factory wage increase for all warehousing and factory workers jack pallet and forklift training for people with no experience and a starting salary at $ 17 - 19 $ dollars an hour and it increase with more time on the job how about the first year at that base salary of $ 17 - 19 $ dollars and on the even of that year the employee gets an raise of $ 2 dollars more on their check and other financial incentives as cash allocation from their check for newly place employee mutual fund packages besides with other benefits that said company is offering this helps to place that company on the stock market grant their employees preferred stock options from their company that they work for at that current moment and because of the huge huge employee buy in it is like the employers are investing in their employees and their stores and company .

My favorite film on youtube right now Tom Brady versus the world epilogue , thank you I'm honored I took New York City to greatness and it's in place for it only to get better in New York and places like New York City . I like the plays we ran but then they go off into some other stuff that is against what the integrity of this page is about it's deep but then you start shooting off which is okay because nobody is hurt and everybody is doing good with the career and families but it then destroy my brand and what I built this page for so I move to stop posting the helping is cool and I'm taking credit for it because it is my plans and ideas but the voodoo curse stronger than me that my enemies now control me with so now I ask for a trade to my own team and to be able to control my own life and get a regular job that the city of New York promised me because I'm not their enemy and go conduct my business from there with my other promised contracts that I gotta work for and earn my living from , no thank you to my puppet masters .

The snipers were John Allen Muhammad (age 41 at the time) and Lee Boyd Malvo (age 17 at the time), who traveled in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan. Their crime spree, which began in February 2002, included murders and robberies in several states, which resulted in seven deaths and seven injuries. In total, the snipers killed 17 people and wounded 10 others in a 10-month span.[2]In September 2003, Muhammad was sentenced to death, and in October, Malvo, a juvenile, was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without parole. In November 2009, Muhammad was executed by lethal injection.In 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated Malvo's three life sentences without parole in Virginia on appeal, with re-sentencing ordered pursuant to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 S.Ct. 2455 (2012), which held that mandatory life sentences for juvenile criminals without possibility of parole violated the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari, with oral arguments held on October 16, 2019.[3] Should he be resentenced, Malvo's minimum prison sentence will be determined by a judge; the available maximum sentence would be life imprisonment. The ruling does not apply to the six life sentences Malvo received in Maryland.[4] On February 25, 2020, after the passage of a Virginia law allowing those who are serving life sentences for offenses committed before the age of 18 to seek release after serving 20 years,[5] the U.S. Supreme Court case was dismissed at the request of lawyers on both sides.[6]

Introduction as told by Red
Tumblr media
❝ My name? Doesn't matter and if you must, just call me Red. Here's the story. I was born the youngest to seven other siblings and two.... unique.... parents. They were alright, you know bought us all up to be ambitious. Dad's a celebrity doctor, you know the type that appears on tv as an expert? Mom's an actress. Shakespare, stage plays, always the biggest prescene in the room. They've been divorced several times. It's always been a turblent affair between them. ❞
❝ My siblings? All wildly success. Some took after Mom, some took after Dad. Big business, this and that. One of my sister's has a fitness cult in Texas; you heard right, but we'll get to that and all the details about the rest of them later. Me, on the other hand? Not so much, much to Mother's disappointment. I have a day job, it pays the bills, fits my set of skills. Not ambitious enough for the family name, but I was an oddball. ❞
❝ Who I am in my day life doesn't matter, and I really don't want my family finding out it is ME whose up to what I am about to be up to. Secret identity and all. You've read about it in comics. ❞
❝ So who is me? Who's Red? Red's not an alias, not some hero name, it's a lack of name. I... wouldn't be doing this if I didn't get dragged into it and I don't know if I'll keep doing this, I.... I see injustice daily, so if I'm any good at this, maybe I'll keep it up. ❞
❝ I have talents, maybe call them powers. Sound mimicry, wind manipulation, really cool trick of knowing when someone's about to hit me, I can copy cat people. It's pretty good, since a natural born fighter I was not, except mybe these talents were always in me waiting to wake up. I wouldn't have the answers, I killed the thing with the answers. ❞
❝ Alright, Red, enough suspense; look I love exposition, my day job is mostly paperwork and research I love it; anyways. So on the eve of my 27th birthday, I was visited by.... I still don't really have a clue, but a little alien demon man-thing; who was looking for my closest sister, Vivian. See Viv and I look a lot alike, we aren't twins, she's a year older and was coming to tell her that our family was only three years shy of the prophecy of world destruction was upon that, that they were this close to becoming gods. ❞
❝ Apparently, my entire family is evil with special talents; used for manipulating the world or people, that's the gist. The prophecy goes something like "On the eve of the eighth child, that's me by the way, take her life and she will become the key to the universe and your family will become gods of the new world. Something like that, except, I'm the eighth child. I'm 27 now. That's three years from my birthday. My sister was suppose to be the messenger of some universe destroying prophecy my family was going to achieve. ❞
❝ The alien-demon man fucked up and when he realized that he just revealed a HUGE family secret to the eight child, the dud child... He attacked, I don't know if he was going to kill me, considering I'm a key or whatever... We got into a struggle, it was going really badly but ... Uh... I managed to kill him, I didn't want to. I was simply trying to get away, protect myself, scream bloody murder for anyone, someone. ❞
❝ His body fell limp on top of me and... he didn't look human, I didn't know what to do, who to call. My day job, I know some of the ins and outs of legal system; I'd probably be fine, I mean it was NOT human but that's also the trouble. Most traumatizing night of my life, but what I figure out later? That's gonna be more traumatizing, spoiler warning, sorry. ❞
❝ After he died... I killed him, holy shit, I killed someone even if it wasn't human, which am I even human? Is my family? I felt different like.... stronger, faster, I... My voice started changing, the air felt like something I could grasp, like I could pull on like reigns. I remembered everything I read, honestly, some of these talents made my day job easier. ❞
❝ Eventually the thing's body just... disappeared. So one problem solved, but the next was figuring out what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck... Does my family know? Does Vivi? Should I say somthing, I definitely shouldn't say anything. They... They wouldn't kill me on my thirth. I could be hallucinating this maybe, did I drink too much... Weeks pass, my talents I start being the little nerd I am and research, test, see the extent and limits. ❞
❝ I start getting ideas... I... you hear about people trying to be a hero, what if me? I mean... if I have these powers, what if it's real. What if I'm doome to die at thirty by the hands of my family so they can dominate all of mankind. So... I start trying things, little things. Comic book things. I need to start making a plan, because I think it's real, all of it, cause the next time I visit my sister Vivian... ❞
❝ She doesn't just run a fitness empire; it's an empire, it's a cult. She gets her high, commanding people, telling what to do with with their body, with how they look. She's a bad person. It's sick. It's disgusting and... I think she'd kill me when I turned thirty. What about the rest? ❞
❝ So I start digging, into my family, carefully. I've... I've already started trying to solve injustice problems on the West Coast, from San Francisco. Vigilante. Hit the news, or trying not to is the goal. The ability to change my voice has been helpful in protecting who I was. I don't want too much noise around me, but I start digging into my family and they are all bad people. I mean, they are rich, but... but they don't see people as people, they only see them as pawns, toys, dolls, tools, underlings. They are hiding things, definitely not US or UK legal things. ❞
❝ I have to stop them, without them knowing its me. Without... I may have to kill them, if... If I can't work out how to stop them, stop this prophecy. I have to assume they have powers too, or something; that they are dangerous and I am going to have to get good at being outnumbered, at fighting, and solving problems... and preparing myself, stopping them before I turn thirty and... worst happens. ❞

survey #190
Did you enjoy high school? In some ways yes, in many others, no. There were days in high school where I wanted to be dead, like I was extremely depressed, but I also enjoyed having a social life. I miss old friends, I cherish times we laughed together and were just kids, but I would also never go back. I had good relationships with my teachers, too, so that helped.
What’s an unusual food combination you like? Waffles lightly slathered in peanut butter with normal syrup on top of that. It's fucking heavenly.
What’s the longest stretch of time you’ve spent completely alone? A few weeks, somewhere close to a month. This was when my mom went to New York while her mother was dying. I can't remember what it was, but it was a new YouTube hyperfixation that let me get through such a long period by myself; I tend to get lonely if I'm by myself for merely one full day, but I was totally fine during this period because I was into something.
Did your parents allow you to drink soda when you were a kid? By a certain age, but definitely not regularly.
Did you ever go through an emo or goth phase? Emo for sure, but I still consider myself a goth at... heart, lol, because I definitely don't have the money to dress like one, nor do I wear makeup. My heart's there though, haha.
How many times have you stayed at a hotel in the past year, and where? Not even once.
Do you take a walk every day? No.
Who was your favourite musical artist when you were 15? Do you still listen to them? Ozzy Osbourne, and yes, he's my favorite artist of all time.
When was the last time you ate at a food court and what did you get? Oh jeez, I have absolutely no idea.
How do you like your eggs cooked? Scrambled, especially with cheese.
What's your favourite place to go on vacation? I don't go on vacations enough for this.
Have you ever done your own compost? No.
Would you ever get a tattoo on your hand or foot? Yes; I already know I want some on my hands, and feet will probably happen eventually, at least little stuff. I've never really seen foot tattoos I like, but with how many I want one day, it'll likely happen.
Do you open your doors and windows on warm days? We tend to keep our back door out onto the porch open if it's nice out, because it's a meshed-in porch that Roman absolutely loves sitting out in. We'll open windows if there's a nice breeze and we're kinda hot.
Are the blinds/curtains in the room open or closed right now? I keep them open during the day because it helps my depression to feel less closed in.
Were you mean to anyone in high school? No, I minded my business and treated others how I wanted to be treated.
Have you ever accidentally started a fire? Not me specifically, but as a child, we once tried doing that over-the-stove popcorn and it set on fire; I remember Mom or Dad had to use the fire extinguisher.
What is the last note you edited in your phone's notes app? One where I have gift ideas for Girt.
Who is your favourite coworker? You can tell me about one from your past if you don't have one right now. I have so little job experience that I don't really have an answer.
Do you know anyone who's adopted a child? I have an old school friend who was adopted, but I don't know anyone who did adopting. Well, my sister's husband legally adopted her daughter from another relationship, but I don't think that's what you mean when talking about adoption.
What was the last video game or board game you purchased? I think the last game Mom was kind enough to buy me was SOMA.
Are any of your siblings taller than you? Bobby's way taller than me, and Ashley is a bit taller than me. I think Nicole is right about my height. I know Misty is shorter, and I thiiink Katie might be too?
Name a song that reminds you of a past relationship: "Another Life" by Motionless In White. Once upon a time I couldn't listen to it, but I can now, I just feel an ache.
Have you ever seen a building on fire in real life? Yes, a house burned down in my childhood neighborhood.
Have you kissed anyone and their first name started with an F, D, or L? A "D."
Have you ever been in therapy for anything? I've been in therapy since the 6th grade.
Is there any part of your sexual/romantic history that you have not told your current significant other about or that you will not tell future partners about? "I mean, I haven’t told him every detail, but not because it’s a secret or anything, it’s just not relevant to our relationship." <<<< This, it'd be weird if I just dumped random details on him that had zero bearing on our relationship. I wouldn't keep anything secret though, I think couples should be very open about their sexual pasts for safety reasons.
Have you ever developed feelings for someone whose sexual orientation was incompatible with yours? HAHA YEAH, kinda. In middle school I think I mighta liked this guy William, who ended up being gay. I was never totally sure if I liked him more than a friend, though.

Who performs the most random acts of kindness out of everyone you know? My mom, easy.

Which edible flowers have you tasted? None that I know of.
What was the last video you added to your favorites on YouTube? It was some photography advice.
Do any of your family members have an upcoming birthday? No, no more birthdays in the family 'til mine next year.
Is your favorite animal endangered? No, oh my god I don't think I'd be able to function if meerkats were endangered, lol.
What is the middle name of the last person you texted? Marie.
Have you ever come close to drowning? No, thank goodness.
What’s the cutest thing your S/O does, but denies it’s cute in any way? He's such a scaredy-cat with horror stuff and it's honestly adorable, brooding six-foot man can't get past the first Necromorph scene in Dead Space 'n' shit like that lmfao.
Have you ever dined alone at a restaurant? No.
Have you ever changed in front of the last person you kissed? No, I'm too self-conscious.
Have you experienced any severe side effects of medications? Yes; a few have made me vomit, and a certain form of Wellbutrin makes me manic and also causes frequent bodily spasms for me.
Have you ever had a big YouTuber reply to a comment you left on their video? I don't think so, but I do know I've had some heart or pin a comment.
Have you ever given a lap dance? No.
Do a lot of people tell you that you are funny? I wouldn't say a lot.
Have you gone to a tanning bed lately? I've never been to one once and I never will.

Do you have any projects on the go right now? Not really, no.
Are you a hat person? Nah.
Has anyone ever approached you in the street and asked to take your picture? No, I think that would freak me out, though from a photographer's perspective I know it should probably be a compliment lol
What song's stuck in your head? None currently.
Do your feelings get hurt easily? Kinda, yeah.
Have you ever seen a cougar in the wild? No.
When was the last time you took a selfie? Idk, it's been a very long time.
Do you have any nieces or nephews? I have quite a lot, but only three are regularly in my life. That doesn't disqualify the others or mean I don't love them too, but my relationship with Ashley's children is definitely different than, say, Misty's.

Top 5 Media Experiences of 2022
The Blacklist

The Blacklist is a network TV show starring James Spader as Raymond Reddington, the most wanted criminal in America - if not the world - with a list of criminals that the FBI can't catch or don't even know about in the first place. Every episode is about hunting down a new target on the eponymous Blacklist.
It has several staples of your average network TV long-runner - a main character who's a bit watered down for the sake of being a viewpoint into this wider world painted by the other characters, a story and cast that tends to meander a bit after 8+ years on TV because they don't want to end the show, and a lot of "copaganda" aspects that come with the main cast mostly being FBI dealing with huge, homicidal threats.
I've watched eight seasons of the show this year.
I have my issues with it. I like it a lot. They're phoning it in. I can't wait to see how they finally wrap up the story. I'm sick of watching it. I'm watching the show with a fantastic fan theory in mind. They're either never gonna answer the big questions or it's gonna be like How I Met Your Mother all over again.
Simply put, the way I enjoy this show isn't particularly cut and dry. Most of the above paragraph is me goofing around, but there's a big kernel of truth to all of it.
First of all - I initially adored the myth arc. James Spader turns himself into the FBI in exchange for being taken to see Elizabeth Keen, a profiler who's starting her first day on the job. That relationship forms the core of the show's mystery - why her? What's his connection to Elizabeth Keen? Is it her dad? She has a dad. Is there more to that than anyone realises?
That plot development gets pretty muddy as the show goes on. But for four seasons, it's a really, really good hook. And that fan theory I mentioned is incredibly frigging juicy - it's the entire reason I began watching the show, and at this point it's literally the only option that would make sense.
Secondly, it builds this whole mythos about the criminal underworld and puts Raymond Reddington right at the centre of it. Reddington, especially early on, is a bit, fat Mary Sue - he ALWAYS comes out on top. He knows every score, he goes behind every back and he comes out on top. And it's all set to James Spader giving the most long-winded, scenery chewing speeches.
That is exactly what I signed up for, and I adore the fuck out of it.
I love Boston Legal, partially because James Spader has such an intense, listenable voice. That show was about him as a goofy lawyer. This show is about him as a chatty kingpin of the criminal underworld, with a lot of that previous charm paired by a willingness to kill and to threaten people in a way that he absolutely can and will follow through on. It's absolutely fan-fucking-tastic.
But frankly, the criminal underworld loses its luster after a while - it's not exactly John Wick after ten years on a TV budget. And Spader absolutely begins to phone it in at some point, I would say it's around season six. He has his producer credit, he gets his paycheck, he shows up and says the lines and wears a hat. That's just the way it is.
Third, the gimmick of the show is absolutely genius for an episodic show. It's money in the bank.
The show is about a list of criminals, and every episode is about catching one of those criminals. You can make that list AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT TO BE. It's fantastic, and you can go absolutely batshit insane dreaming up new villains of the week - one of the dudes they take out in the first season is named The Stewmaker, and he dissolves bodies. Another guy brokers contraband by hiding it under his skin. It's gross, it's grisly, and it's so much fun.
But the episodic structure goes awry in two places.
First of all, the show focuses less on episodic stories over time in favor of longer myth arcs. It goes from strong standalone characters like I mentioned before to strings of less creative characters who act as macguffins to get to the next story beat in the season's arc. The criminal translation agency has a key to the server of a criminal plastic surgeon who'll lead us to the head of the terrorist cell who's about to bomb the White House - that sort of thing.
And the myth arcs are good for a few seasons. Season four is the absolute highlight of the show in my opinion. But that excellent quality doesn't last forever, because how many equally dangerous enemies does the most wanted man in the world have after he keeps defeating every big fish that swims up against him? And with the quality of the episodic villains of the week going down in favor of these larger myth arcs, only for the myth arcs to decline in quality after ten years, it does unfortunately drag the show down a little.
Another way the "Blacklist" concept goes awry - when do you use the more dangerous members of the list, the ones in the double- and single-digits of the list? When do you use the top 10? When do you make an episode about the top entry on the Blacklist?
This show has been on for almost 200 episodes. And I hate to say it, but there aren't a lot of double- or single-digit Blacklist members left. It's a natural consequence of the show going for as long as it has.
Also I'm only going to touch on this briefly, but the fanbase can make the show worse - specifically, a contingent of users on IMDB who hate on the main character and call for her to get killed off with 1 and 0 star reviews. I once saw a review saying that an episode would have been a 10/10, but because she showed up right at the end, it's a 7/10.
It's clearly a stupid thing for me to get worked up about, but like I said before - the show has imperfect aspects that come with the territory of being a long-running network TV show, and those aspects are compromises that come with the territory of watching a show like this. It's really demoralising to see such a vocal contingent of fans going "kill this character off and make the whole show about James Spader" - I like Spader, but I really, really dislike that take.
The reason I'm putting this show at the top of the list - and I have decided that this is a numbered list again - is because for better or for worse, it's been the one show I've gotten invested in this year. It's not at all in the same league as The Good Place or Moral Orel, or even Boston Legal (and that last show genuinely approaches a level of sleaze that makes it hard to watch at a certain point). But for as much as I can call it schlock, or even trash TV past a certain point - I can't deny how much I've enjoyed watching The Blacklist this year, and how much I continue to enjoy it.
The Blacklist is a flawed show with a big name attached, and after ten years on the air it doesn't have the same fire in its belly as it used to have. But it's a staple program that I've really been enjoying, and there isn't anything else I could talk about that has taken up more time or brain power than this show.
