Tumblr media
Ji Ho, Yang Mal and Little Goat reached Sulani to find Guidry and send Ji Ho's dead brother to the other side. It wasn't easy for Ji Ho to return. He had a traumatic life here. Suddenly he heard the Siren Song. For the first time in his life. Even though Ji Ho and his mother were mermaids, he'd never met others of his kin.
Tumblr media
Oh but this song was so beautiful - promises of home, family, happyness, carefreeness... All he has to do to gain all this was to enter the ocean and follow the song... And he did.
Tumblr media
The song lead him to a cave.
Tumblr media
"I have been waiting for you" an old merman said.
Tumblr media
"Follow me."
Tumblr media
They sat down in the cave and the old man sang a song about his daughter, Tina.
Tumblr media
About how she saw a beautiful man and fell in love.
Tumblr media
She abandoned her kin to follow him. But Axel lived in the slums of Sulani and soon they had severe financial problems. But the creditor suggested to waive a part of the debts if Tina would be 'nice' to him...
Tumblr media
She loved Axel so much and eventually gave in... And so Tina started to work at the 'House of the Rising Sun' to help Axel pay his debts. She gave birth to two sons.
Tumblr media
Old man: "Seems you're tired now. Sleep."
Tumblr media
And then he carried Ji Ho to a prison cell in the cave. Where Guidry also was locked in! Guidry: "Oh no..." Old man: "He's just as dumb as his mother."

Elita: Jack Moriarty, never one to slum it, had invited Borson Fatherall to said posh new cigar bar in the center of San Myshuno proper. Jack sat down and collected his drink as he puffed on the big cigar. 
Jack: Can I tempt you with a cigar Borson? They have the new Paragon range in stock from Sulani. They also have a selection from the Old Country.
Borson: Very tempting Jack, but I am under a bit of a time constraint today, perhaps just a drink. My usual Celtsh whiskey. 
Jack: Of course.
Elita: The senator gestured to the bar with his hand making the finger sign for Celtsh whiskey and then pointed at Borson. I haven’t been to many cigar bars apart from my bachelorette party but we are a long long way off that one yet. But yes, within cigar bars, to keep the ambience and the gentle quiet only punctuated by occasional laughter, there are signs one can make to the bar staff. The barmaid brought over the whiskey and Borson accepted it.
Borson: Thank-you my dear.
****
Elita: And yeah, if you’re just noticing now, Borson has a missing eye. He isn’t a pirate or something like that. We will explain later, right now it's not that important.
Borson: So to what do I owe the pleasure of your company Senator? I am of the understanding you are attempting to become the Minister of Military of the United Districts. Quite a prestigious position, if you want any support I am more than happy to provide it of course. 
Jack: Thank you but do not worry to that end Borson. Some votes cost a little, some votes cost a lot. But I can afford both. No, I am here about that business opportunity I sent to you in the aftermath of the station fall. 
Borson: Yes, the destruction of Magnolia Heights. Terrible… Has the full casualty list been completed yet?
Jack: Not yet, but never mind that Borson. What we have here is a wonderful opportunity to rebuild, restore, and make a fat ton of extra cash. 
****
Borson: Yes, I thought I made it clear that Fatherall Building Inc, is unable to enter a contract at this time. 
Jack: Yes, your secretary contacted mine, I just wanted to ask you face to face why this is? You’ve never turned down good business before Borson. Nor have you ever said no to me, so I find it rather perplexing why now, with my extensive and growing connections, and such a lucrative opportunity you would refuse?
Borson: Stella Montgomery has been my Lawyer since she first started her firm with Maisie Williams, she didn’t have a glowing endorsement for Moriarty Industries last we spoke.

QUEEN MADLEINE AND CROWN PRINCESS AKAMAI ATTEND SULANI FASHION WEEK
Today, Queen Madleine and Crown Princess Akamai were spotted at the Sulani Fashion Week. They arrive for the Fashion Show of Designer Karl Simfeld, who was also the designer of the Queen's wedding dress.
Tumblr media
As it was a private event, the Royals dressed very usual - Madleine having her hair in pony tails, waring an orange blouse, some ripped jeans and matching boots. Akamai opted for a half up-do, a colorful corset-top and a plain black dress.
Tumblr media
Having seats in the front row, the Queen and Crown Princess sat next to Vogue-boss Anna Simtour, Topmodels Heidi Slum and Saomi Campbell, as well as actor Sohnny Depp and Kate Siss.
After the show, they attented the private after-show party of the designer and we have a feeling, that we will be seeing one of the two in another outfit of the designer.

#ScreensnappedChallenge
Hello everyone! I was tagged by the lovely @romanticsims! How does it work? Make a collage of 12 screenshots that you have to meet the prompts below. (I placed mine funny, SORRY)
Do You Wanna Date My Avatar? || Simself || I think this the only picture I have of my simself. Yes, I am a dorky ginger. Be afraid. 
The Face That Fills My Dreams || Favorite OC || The more I write Elystria, the more I love her. She’s sassy and her storyline is my favorite. 
#RelationshipGoals || Favorite Couple || OKAY, so technically in story they haven’t happened yet, and the rate I write it will be 2022 before it actually does, but Felystria forever. :) 
My Spot || Favorite Place in Game || This kind of changes! I am really enjoying Granite Falls right now, but I also love Forgotten Hollow, Del Sol Valley, and Strangerville a lot. 
From The Ground Up || Favorite Build || The Sulani Slums build I did for Bry!!! I think it turned out really well and stretched my building skills quite a bit. 
Let’s Celebrate! || Favorite Holiday || Halloween! I didn’t really have screenshots for this I liked too much? LOL. So have a relic from the past. This still posted this year on my old blog. It’s Provence Rose Nova as a vampire prince. (Do I still have followers who know this sim? I’m not sure)
Your Dark Side || MM vs. Alpha || I pretty much like it all, but I think y preference is Alpha. Caleb is my favorite townie makeover. 
WTF?! || Favorite In-Game Outtake || I don’t l play a lot, but have this random screenshot of Haru (from my Moonlighters save, which is my gameplay save!!!) dying from peppers. He’s still cute ;-;
Never Released || Favorite Never-Before-Seen Screenshot || The moment that will never happen. This is from the end of Trichotomy. I swear I had most of it shot and edited, I just needed to finish writing it. This is from the moment, in the end, were Roman and Roberto officially become a couple. Bonus dialogue I actually wrote: “Boyfriend,” Roman whispered, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling. “You’re my boyfriend.” “You keep saying that like you don’t believe it’s true.” “I’m letting it sink in.”
Treat Yo’Self! || Fave CC Creator || Ahhh, so I tend to favor build CC over CAS. By comparison, my build and buy folder for Mimic is 24GB whereas my CAS folders are only 11GB combined (yes I know I have a lot of cc). So here’s a 3 for 1 for you all featuring some of my favorites by @ellemant @aggressivekitty and @toskasims. I use their stuff all the tme!
Competitive Spirit || Favorite CAS Challenge || I really haven’t done a lot of these, but since Altair was who made me “tumblr famous” for a minute when I was a berry simmer, it had to be remaking her. She’s still so pretty. :)
Sharing Is Caring || Favorite Collaboration ||, OF COURSE, THE ONE WITH MY BOO @hnn-tr!! Teen party shenanigans. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun on Tumblr as I did this. :)
Thanks for the tag, Lille! This was a challenging but super fun thing to do. 
I tag: The light of my life @smallcowplant, the ever beautiful and colorful inside and out @simblrinterests, my partner in crime @asinglewallflower, and how can one person have so much talent queen of simblr @neutralsupply :) Love you all. 💖💖💖

[Sulani] Tia and Natasha settle into their new lives in Sulani with their husbands, Ehren and Javier. Tia squabbles with her mother-in-law, Kailey, but their lives are otherwise calm and contented.
Meanwhile, Ehren's sister Katelyn has moved into a new home with her new husband, Kyle. It's going to be an adventure! The abandoned shipwreck has no running water or electricity.
Katelyn makes notes from room to room of all the things that will need to be cleaned up, fixed, built and bought to turn this shipwreck into a home. Within hours, they have set up solar panels, dew collectors, and even a wind turbine purchased from a neighbour.
Within weeks, the delapidated wreck feels like home.
---
[Oasis Springs] After giving birth, Kiera is relieved to see something that at least looks human. Then another - she has twins! Only time will tell beyond that how their unusual parentage will affect them.
Still, her principle challenge is that she's alone. Her undead boyfriend crossed over before learning of her pregnancy, and she's still too stubborn and embarrassed to return to her family to help her raise her twins. She knows on some level that her misery has been self-inflicted - that she could have ended it at any time - but feels paralyzed by the shock of it all.
Kiera hears a noise and rushes into the babies' room, only to find Drew standing there, cuddling his son!
---
[Magical Realm] "Why did you come back? Isn't there always a price for crossing between dimensions?" Kiera asks, concerned.
"It was a natural death. An old man crossed to the other side. I just took the opportunity," Drew replied. I couldn't leave you all alone once I found out that you were having my kids. Twins! Besides, I've raised five children before. I thought I could help."
"You had five children? Tell me about them."
He told her all about his marriage to Rhianna Goth, and the fine headmaster that their son Matt Henford-Goth grew into; and about Monica and her unconventional marriage to Jake.
"Then, Heather - sweet, uncomplicated Heather. She married Kenji Nakayama and moved to Mua Pel'am. She was my first child with Kaylyn, who I was married to for nearly 70 years, and we had two more after Heather - twin boys, Kai and Alex. Kai and his wife Kirsten had a son, Carl, and Alex and his husband, Jordan, adopted a girl, Kailey, who still lives in the twin houses they built in Sulani."
"They sound great!" says Kiera.
"They were! Funny, when I was a teenager, I just wanted to be this player, you know, promiscuous. But then life just ... laughed at my plans. I had to get better at magic, because my uncle died and everyone was just hurting so much, so my cousins and I learned how to bring him back, and from then, it was all about the magic ... but at the end of it all, after everything, it was all about raising a family."
Kiera told him about why she sat pregnant in a slum when she could have changed her situation at any time. "I went through with it because I knew on some level that things would be OK, but I was living there, I guess, to punish myself for betraying the identity I'd constructed for myself."
"You are you and love is love - I try not to overthink these things," shrugs Drew. "You didn't ask for this either, but here we are - with two beautiful children - and I am going to stay right here with you. If you want me to, of course."
"Yes!" says Kiera at once. "Yes. We'll do this together," she says, and kisses him.
Folding herself securely into her lover's arms, Kiera is finally happy.

Jack is disenchanted and disappointed. As exciting as it was to talk to Tiny Can, he'd expected more of the AI Therapist.
Tumblr media
Sai went back to sleep again, he's exhaused from crying and reliving his worst memories. And Ji Ho and Jack decided to play a bit. But the only 'game' available is a boring puzzle... Jack: "Oh my, I don't know what's more boring. This puzzle or our therapy... Have they never heard about gamification? Or fun? Or to make it a bit more interesting?" Ji Ho agreed. Though the insight about Vlad and his own locked away feelings was interesting. Maybe he should follow and explore these thoughts a bit deeper.
Tumblr media
Suddenly Saiwa was wide awake: "What did you just say, Jack?"
Jack: "Uh - probably something wrong? You finish the puzzle, Ji Ho, I go and run."
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "No! That's actually brilliant!
Gamification! The Game!!!
We combine the AI with our game and make it a Therapy Game!" Jack and Ji Ho: "..." (Haha you can see how Jack and Ji Ho's brains are working ^^') Saiwa: "And not just for us - for other creatures too! This would have been so helpful when we'd been so scared and alone! And who knows? This could be a sucess and we'd make money to pay Rubyn and the others back!" We barely get to see Saiwa this excited ^^' But here some of his main interests meet, his love for games and computers - and being there for others and help them.
Tumblr media
Vlad went back home to grab Saiwa, Jack and Ji Ho's content they'd already had created for their game over the last months and then they started their epic gathering to develop the:
Tumblr media
For the computer game they'd planned, Jack already made the concept art and design, Vlad wrote and Ji Ho composed the music and soundscapes. They are going to feed all this to Tiny Can and see what kind of 'gamification therapy' he'll create. How exciting! (For me it really is! Imagine this: a game that also is a therapy - supported by an AI! How amazing would that be if you could see the things that make you suffer from a distance and you'd find solutions for them by doing insightful AND funny AND interesting quests! You'd gain helpful new habits and get rid of unhealthy ones by playing a game! Where I live it's so hard to find a therapy place. We have to wait up to a year -.- I do have high hopes in AI. You could go by your own pace. And you wouldn't even have to leave the house!)
Tumblr media
After a very long gathering, Ji Ho and Jack relaxed in the hot tub. Jack's pain is thanking him. They sat silent for quite a while, lost in their thoughts. Very unusual for Jack, but his brain is running on hyper speed now. He's so excited :3 And Ji Ho was pondering about his locked down feelings. The Bond made it easy for him to love Luci. They had a whole different approach to each other. While his relationship with Vlad was doomed from the beginning (their story in (kind of ^^') short -> here).
Tumblr media
The only ocassions where Ji Ho was really comfortable with Vlad was, when they touched and made love. And this is also a benefit of the Bond and Luci because Ji Ho hated being touched in the beginning. After all he'd seen at the House of the rising Sun in the slums of Sulani. But Luci had approached him slowly and tenderly. Ji Ho shared his thoughts with Jack: "Do you think this might be a way to become more comfortable with Vlad and finally be able to love him? And to find my buried down feelings?" Jack: "I think that's brilliant! At least one of us learned something in that therapy. When you charge the Bond later, just try a bit more and we'll see how it goes."
Tumblr media
A little later Vlad came down: "Uhm, I'm leaving now. The Bond..."
Tumblr media
Ji Ho left the hot tub and went over to Vlad to charge the Bond - and try his new theory... They embraced each other as usual and then Ji Ho tried to kiss Vlad.
Tumblr media
But Vlad moved his head aside and whispered: "I want nothing more than you - but not like this." Vlad's breath ghosted over Ji Ho's still wet skin and made him shiver.
Vlad still has his principles - not to forget his foolish pride. No way he's going to have a plain physical relationship with Ji Ho - without love. There is no 'two out of three ain't bad' or 'it's better than nothing' in Vlad's world ^^' Only 'it's all or nothing'. He would do anything for Ji Ho, but he won't - and can't do that. It would break him apart. That does not mean it was easy for him to not give in and leave. Vlad really is the master of self control ö.ö
Tumblr media
And then Vlad left. Ji Ho seems a bit piqued after Vlad's rejection ^^'
Tumblr media
'I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me
When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right
I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me'

It's time for Saiwa to rearrange their sub unit aka The Boys. Even though Ji Ho already promised Jeb that he will help to keep them together, Saiwa took him aside. Saiwa: "Ji Ho, when the Bond is cut - are you still determined to leave us?" Ji Ho: "Yes, there is still the Prophecy. And the Council will be after us as long as Vlad and I will be together. Even if the Bond is cut. There will be no proof of it for them and they will still fear us bringing 'great evil' upon them... Better you four continue without me. I hope you will be able to use the power of the meteorites without me when Rubyn is successful with the experiments."
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "Have you already decided who will claim and protect you from the other vampires when the Bond between you and Vlad is cut?" Ji Ho: "Yes. You know Genji offered me his help and I think this is the best solution. He is my first bonded and I hope he doesn't even need to claim me again... uhm ... fully... and we could skip... uhm... 'tightening the Bond', you know? I'm sorry." Saiwa: "I understand."
Tumblr media
Jeb and Jack: "WHAT?" Vlad: "GENJI!?! After all we went through because of Genji?! I even died! I went through hell! Because of him our world turned upside down! Because he claimed Ji Ho all out of the blue! And now he's going back to him?" Saiwa: "Vlad. You know any other vampire would have to claim Ji Ho. This would spare him. And you know that all this wasn't Genji's fault. Ji Ho doesn't really have a choice in this."
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "Can we now please agree to the new terms and conditions? Being honest to each other, no stupid secret single actions and acting as a team to stay together? I'm hungry." Jeb, Jack and Vlad: "Agreed."
Tumblr media
Jeb: "See? I told you we would make it ;) " Saiwa sighs.
Tumblr media
Later that evening Jeb and Ji Ho are working on their songs and Ji Ho showed Jeb his progress on his Siren's Songs. Ji Ho had no one who tought him about them while he grew up in the Slums of Sulani. But he had been able to cast a spell to drag Vlad (and Leander) out of their hell. So he's not quite starting from zero. Though it's difficult to try to get a connection to them without being in the water.
Tumblr media
Later, Jeb and Saiwa went for a walk. Jeb, making a move: "Don't worry! I will protect you from the wild animals of the Jungle!" Saiwa: ? Iguana: ??
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "And who will protect you from me?"
Tumblr media
Jeb: "Nothing can keep me away from you, Vanië."
Tumblr media
Jeb: "I love you."
Tumblr media
I'm so happy they are finally together again! ^^'

The Friendship between: Saiwa and Ji Ho
Even though Vlad and Ji Ho despised each other when they first met, Giga/Saiwa befriended Ji Ho and eventually dragged him to the Space (Balls) Bar & Grill & 'Residence' after Ji Ho told him he was homeless.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ji Ho soon became Sai's dress up doll for his online fashion shop 'Strawberry Cake Fashion'.
Tumblr media
Saiwa brought Ji Ho to Jeb's home when he and Vlad needed to be separated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ji Ho and Jack admiring Saiwa for leading them so bravely through the fog to the graveyard ^^' That was after Vlad's death and Sai had to be strong for them even though he was heartbroken too.
Tumblr media
Sai preparing and sending Ji Ho off to the Diner de los Muertos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ji Ho consoling Saiwa at the Dia de los Muertos. Jeb and Sai had broken up after Jeb fell in love with Jack right after Vlad died...
Tumblr media
And Saiwa consoling Ji Ho after Vlad returned from Hell and Luci left.
Tumblr media
Despite his traumatic past in the Slums of Sulani, Ji Ho is comfortable around Saiwa (and Jack too) and trusts him a lot and he can talk to him about anything. On the other hand Sai doesn't want to burden Ji Ho with his problems and rather talks to Vlad when he has something on his mind.
Tumblr media
Saiwa welcomed Ji Ho and Luci back at the Space Bar. Jack wasn't happy about Ji Ho bringing Luci here. He had been so upset that Luci seemed to replace Vlad... (He was so right o.o)
Tumblr media
Saiwa sending Ji Ho off to tighten the Bond with Vlad for the first time on Winter Solstice 2022. He was more anxious than Ji Ho ^^'
Tumblr media
Ji Ho and Saiwa trying to find the least awkward solution to charge the Bond.
Tumblr media
Jeb is Ji Ho's best friend and Saiwa (and Vlad also) is glad that Ji Ho and Jeb are there for each other when they have their quarrels and misunderstandings.
Tumblr media
Ji Ho was so happy when Saiwa brought back Luci for a few hours.
Tumblr media
Ji Ho and Saiwa envying Couple Goal Greg and Noxee :3
Tumblr media
Haha them ^^'
Tumblr media
Ji Ho and Saiwa also like to crossdress.
Like at the 70s Party or last Winterfest in Windenburg.
Tumblr media
Or in our Heidi Special
Tumblr media
That was at Tartosa when Ji Ho and Jack (the two youngest) had to enlighten still virgin Sai (the oldest) about woohoo and things ^^'
Tumblr media
Ji Ho evolved a lot over the years, in the beginning he was so shy and quiet, but now he stands up for the things he believes in and speaks up against Saiwa. And Saiwa gives in, because he knows if Ji Ho has something to say for once, he thought a lot about it. Like here, when he convinced Saiwa to let Vlad bite him after they'd been apart for too long and the Bond was freaking out.
Tumblr media
Currently Ji Ho, Jack and Saiwa live together at the Beach House where they help Saiwa recover from his break down.

In chronological order: 🫛 Saiwa and Jack 🫛 Vlad and Jack 🫛 Saiwa and Vlad 🫛 Kiyoshi and Jeb 🫛 Saiwa and Ji Ho 🫛 Ji Ho and Jack 🫛 Ji Ho and Jeb 🫛 Ji Ho and Kiyoshi 🫛 Vlad and Kiyoshi 🫛 Vlad and Jeb 🫛 Saiwa and Kiyoshi 🫛 Jack and Jeb

Today is Mabon. Known as the pagan Thanksgiving, Mabon marks the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are equal, making it a time of balance, equality and harmony. 
Tumblr media
Modern Mabon celebrations are a time to give thanks for the abundance of Mother Earth - both literally and spiritually. It’s also a good time to reflect on the Wheel of the Year, recognizing your successes and letting go of the things that did not serve you during the past twelve months. (found -> here)
Tumblr media
After the Boys rescued Guidry and Ji Ho's brother, Neynah took them over to the Shipwreck. An outlying place where they could send Ji Ho's brother to the other side and celebrate Mabon in peace. Jeb and Jack prepare food and drinks.
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "Thank you, Neynah, for everything you did for us." Neynah: "I wish I could have helped them earlier, though." Saiwa: "Grieve not. You did the best you were able to. It all went well in the end."
Tumblr media
Ji Ho is also sorry he didn't take action earlier. He should have done something after Tae Woon appeared to him for the first time or when he heard that Guidry went missing.
Tumblr media
Guidry: "Ah, time is nothing for ghosts. I didn't even notice that already over a year went by. Don't worry. And look. Tae Woon isn't even fully aware of us - or time. As always. He never showed any reaction the time I spent with him. It's good he finally leaves. There is a better place for him." Ji Ho: "Thank you, Guidry."
Tumblr media
Jack and Saiwa are too mad at Vlad to care about him. Even though all went well in the end, he could have killed Ji Ho by cutting the bond. Only Jeb seems to understand that Vlad did all this for Ji Ho and his friends and so he went over to him.
Tumblr media
Vlad: "When I left the Castle after Wesley got killed, I swore to myself I'd be never that helpless again to protect my loved one. And here I am again. Blind and helpless. While I should kill that bastard from the brothel who made Ji Ho's life a hell. He made Ji Ho's mother a prostitute and wanted Ji Ho to work there too. Jeb - take me to the slums. I'm going to kill him." Jeb: "Vlad. Killing him would bring you to jail. Or a even a death sentence. Remember where you got the scars on your back from. Jack once told you the same. Ji Ho wouldn't want you to become a murderer. And it would change nothing for Ji Ho. The damage can't be undone by killing this bastard. Help Ji Ho to overcome this instead, hm?"

The Friendship between: Jeb and Ji Ho
Jeb is Ji Ho's best friend (Jeb's best friend is Kiyoshi). It all started when Jeb Harris, a premade, showed up at the Space Bar, where Ji Ho and the others lived, and invited Ji Ho for prom. Barefoot and with that bag on his head. Of course Ji Ho said yes. They spent a fantastic evening together - and Vlad was jealous ^^'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And a few days later, Jeb visited Ji Ho again. Vlad tried to keep him from entering Ji Ho's room because -> he was jealous. He didn't wanted them to be alone ö.ö
Tumblr media
Then they went for their weekend trip to Henford-on-Bagley and guess what: Jeb showed up! From that day on Jeb was a regular in our story.
Tumblr media
Ji Ho and Jeb have an amazing chemistry. I've never seen any other of my many Sims look at each other with so much affection like Jeb and Ji Ho do. Jeb explained once why Ji Ho was so special for him. And Jeb gives Ji Ho stabilty after all he went through in the Slums of Sulani. For Ji Ho, the Bond and Jeb are the only stable things in his life.
Tumblr media
Here, Ji Ho even turned around twice to look at Jeb. Even though he just went to the kitchen omg! We have a whole collection with these pics ^^'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Vlad's death, Ji Ho had to leave the Space Bar: Vlad drank real blood for the first time and developed a consuming bloodlust for Ji Ho's blood. So Saiwa brought Ji Ho to Jeb's home. Jeb tried everything possible to bring Ji Ho's cloudy mind back (Genji had put a spell on him to make him willing). This is the first pic of them making music together.
Tumblr media
Later they formed their band 'The Creatures' and sometimes Jack joins them. They have a Roadie/Manager named Travis and even a tourbus :]
This is their tour logo:
Tumblr media
Legendary Concert pics: (all collected -> here)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jeb and Ji Ho often lived together. Twice at the Burrow (Jeb's family's home), then they shared a room in their dorm at Belgraves Institute and the hotel room at tartosa and they lived together during their tour.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ji Ho often consoles Jeb when he and Saiwa have their quarrels.
Tumblr media

Jack and Ji Ho went to the beach again. Sai is feeling a bit better since he talked to Vlad. And the water and the sun is soothing Jack's pain.
Jack: "I will talk to Sai today. If I don't get help soon I will fall for Kiyoshi again and that can't happen. Like - at all. We will have to return back home to the others eventually and we're stuck there together and I don't know for how long I will be able to resist him and then it's going to go downhill with me again..." Ji Ho: "I'm going to try to convince Saiwa too to let us try the AI Therapist. We can still stop if it doesn't work. But we should at least try and see what it can do for us. I trust Arturo. Maybe it can even heal your pain?"
Tumblr media
When they returned, Vlad was already gone and Sai even got up to grill for them. Ji Ho to Jack: "That's a good sign, right?"
Tumblr media
Jack hates to upset Saiwa but he gathered all his courage: "Saiwa... uhm. Do you think it maybe is possible to give Tiny Can a try?" Saiwa: "Ok." Jack: "We can stop anytime if there's anything weird." Saiwa: "Ok."
Tumblr media
Jack: "And Tiny Can still has his own conscience and he loves me, so he wouldn't let the AI hurt us." Saiwa: "Ok." Jack: "I really need help. I can't fall for Kiyoshi again. You know what happened last time... Wait - what? Ok?" (How Ji Ho is not very helpful haha but at least he listened what Saiwa said so it wasn't necessary to help Jack ^^')
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "But one little weirdness and it's over!" Jack: "Ok..."
Tumblr media
They went to one of the empty bedrooms. Saiwa already had prepared everything and even put some inspirational posters on the walls. And he'd modified Tiny Can so no data of them can go out. And nothing from the outside in. Tiny Can is isolated now and Saiwa already checked his code for malware a while ago at home. There is also an emergency button to shut him off immediately should he try something weird...
Tumblr media
And so they started their therapy with Tiny Can as an AI Therapist. It is still set up as a group therapy. Saiwa, Jack and Ji Ho trust each other blindly and know everything about their struggles anyway. It's safer to not consult the AI alone. Tiny Can asked them to talk about their expectations and what they want to achieve with the therapy. Jack started. He was so excited to talk to Tiny Can that it was easy for him to tell him everything. Ji Ho was a bit more hesistant. Even though Saiwa and Jack know anything about his childhood trauma, he's not in the state today to relive it all over again. And so he talked about Vlad and him. That was easier. And Saiwa wasn't even able to talk at all. (And all of this is ok. The therapy is there to help you. And whatever helps you is ok. It's the therapists job to help you. No need to hold back or try to please them. They'd seen worse. I had many therapists in my life and I did make a lot of mistakes. No good therapist will be mad at you when you make the therapy 'yours'. Look what helps you and what not and talk about it. I know that's hard and I wasn't able to do it myself, but now I know that it's necessary to make your therapy a success. I often blamed the therapists, but it was my own fault.)
Tumblr media
After the introduction and 'What brings you to therapy?', Tiny Can asked the usual questions: - How does this problem make you feel? - What makes the problem better? - Why does that make you feel this way?
Tumblr media
Saiwa started to cry. Everything that had stacked up in him broke free. Their time in the Lab, his problems with Jeb and the pressure he's under as their leader. (And that's ok too. Actually a few people I know cried a lot in their therapy (and me too). And they said they felt better afterwards. No need to be ashamed of. Your therapist can handle it and they won't judge you. It's their job and they know it's necessary sometimes.)
Tumblr media
After the therapy ended, Ji Ho pondered a lot about his feelings. He'd locked them away a long time ago. When life became unbearable for him in the slums of Sulani. Maybe that's the reason he can't love Vlad? But why was he able to love Luci? Did the Bond make him feel it? Did it show him a glimpse of love and of what could be possible with Vlad? This glimpse was indeed worth trying to love him. Ji Ho had never felt before what he felt for Luci.
'How could they know just what this message means? The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know the palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen?
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up, two down'

Tumblr media Tumblr media
The UFO dropped Rubyn and Ji Ho at the Burrow. Francine is already waiting for them. There's a lot to manage and discuss... Rubyn: "Are you ok, Ji Ho?" Ji Ho didn't take the last flight with the UFO very well... Ji Ho: "Uh... a bit dizzy but way better than last time!"
Tumblr media
They followed Francine inside. Where Genji already waited for them. Francine had called him after she sensed that Vlad and the others left this world with the Ship. Ji Ho was going to live with Genji anyway after Vlad and him would have cut the Bond eventually. But now they have another problem: Vlad, Ji Ho's bonded, is gone. Who knows where. And now other Vampires might want to claim Ji Ho. So Francine hopes Ji Ho returning to his first bonded Genji will do to keep them at bay...
Tumblr media
Rubyn and Ji Ho filled Francine in about the Expedition, Professor Callahan and the other Jeb and Jack's message... Francine teared up. Jeb is her beloved grandson: "Gods, Jeb..." Rubyn: "But now we have all I need to proceed. We should soon see positive results and send Ji Ho over to the others to bring back Kiyoshi and 'move on' - whatever that means."
Tumblr media
Francine took Ji Ho aside to talk alone with him. Francine: "When you return to the others tell them it's up to you now. We won't interfere. You proved you became a proper team now. So wether you cut the Bond or not - it's your decision. I know this won't be an easy one. It's your life after all and we can't force you to stay with Vlad, whom you don't love, to save creatures and fight the Council."
Tumblr media
"But remember: you and Vlad signed a contract to do everything to cut the bond. We put in a lot of money and effort to help you and we ask a part of this money back from you. A lot of Rubyn's reasearch will be useful for the Resistance, but still." Ji Ho: "I'm sorry we caused so much trouble. We made this decision from what we knew at this point to keep our friends safe from the Council. But we can't ignore Jeb's message. *Ji Ho sighs* It's a dilemma... But I will accept my fate and stay with Vlad and we will use the Bond to do good. I will learn to love Vlad. And we will pay back the money." Francine: "Very well then."
Tumblr media
And then Rubyn, Ji Ho and Genji left the Burrow. Rubyn went back to Britechester to continue her research on the meteorites, the pedestal and the recordings from Albaleyh. And Ji Ho and Genji went over to Genji's flat above the Laundromat...
Tumblr media
So many memories! Here, September 2022, just across the street Genji bit Ji Ho and claimed him, Vlad died, Ji Ho left the Space Bar to live with Genji, they held the duel where Vlad claimed Ji Ho and bit him and they formed their bond, which poisoned Vlad - and he died again...
Genji: "Are you sure it's ok for you?" Ji Ho: "Don't worry, Genji. You had no choice either. It hadn't been easy for you too. Thank you for having me."
Tumblr media
Ji Ho: "Oh. You kept the photos." Genji: "You are so beautiful. Shall I take them off?" Ji Ho: "No. It's ok." Ji Ho knows that Bonds are doing things and make creatures a bit obsessed ^^' See Vlad...
Tumblr media
Ji Ho took a shower and got rid of his jungle attire he wore almost non stop for the last days. They chatted and laughed and Genji was cooking for him. Ji Ho can't remember when he sat in peace alone with someone and just had a good time. (This was last time when you stayed with Genji, Ji Ho...)
Or anyone cooking only for him. Not even his own mother did this. Definitely not his mother...
It's so - homely... Ji Ho never had a proper home. He grew up in the Slums of Sulani and practically lived in the streets. Jeb, Saiwa and the others became his 'home' no matter where they lived. But they were always on the run - a save place, a haven, somewhere to stay... He licked blood and started to crave for something like this...

Tumblr media
Giga, Jack and Jiho went into their room to separate Vlad from Ji Ho. The attack shocked them a bit. Ji Ho noticed a new rug in front of his bed. Giga: “Oh - Kiyoshi brought it earlier.” Jack: “Kiyoshi?” Giga: “Yeah, you’ve heard him - he said, he likes fur.” Jack: “...”
Tumblr media
Vlad to Kiyoshi: “Thank you.” (Aouw Vlad asked Kiyoshi for help to buy a rug for Ji Ho! - and then he attacked him... - omg these two! And poor Jack... new food for his jealousy paranoia...)
Tumblr media
They are talking about this and that and Giga had always wondered, why Ji Ho has so many tattoos. Ji Ho: “You already know that my mother was a sex worker in the slums of Sulani and we lived nearby. I always knew they would come for me one day to make me work there. Mermaids are quite rare and ‘precious’ in this scene... And as being tattooed is highly deprecated in this part of the world - I kind of made myself ‘worthless’ for them... huh - I never talked about this. Vlad did a great job with his healing. I’m not trapped anymore in this madness - I can view it from a distance now.”
Tumblr media
Giga: “Yes he did. Most vampires, like Genji for example, only use their healing powers for their own advantage. Heal the bite wounds to drink more frequently from their victims or make them dizzy, so they don’t even remember anything. Like it happened to you. Vlad acted altruistic to heal you while facing his own death.”
Tumblr media
Giga: “Such a powerful spell can’t be done easily, Vlad paid with the rest of his lifetime he had left. I can’t even heal myself. But Jack and I faced our trauma together so we can at least talk to each other about it. It’s always a relief letting it go bit by bit. Though we hardly tell anyone else. One day - soon - *sighs from the dephts of his soul*  I’ll have to tell Jeb about it - you maybe can imagine how afraid I am about this.”
Tumblr media
Of course they heard them, they are sitting wall on wall... And you could hear their hearts break - if you listened closely. (Vlad already knew Ji Ho’s story, the part with his tattoos was new for him.)
Tumblr media
Jack: “Can I hug you?” Giga: “NO! Let’s sleep now.”
Tumblr media
TMI: I learned about Ji Ho’s tattoos yesterday... it popped up in my head, and I cried. This is how this story works. Surprises even me!

Luci is watching over his sleep. Until...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cute strawberry on Ji Ho’s keyring is from Giga’s online shop ‘Strawberry Cake Fashion’.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh - it’s Jack!
Tumblr media
Uh - Ji Ho had to organize his memories first... The pull... a failure... Vlad’s soul is still in hell or elsewhere... and Luci is still with him. He feels bad that this makes him happy :,( He never was close to Vlad, even afraid of him. And Vlad avoided him. But Luci... When Vlad gets his soul back - Luci will be gone. A horrible thought for Ji Ho. After his traumatic time while living next to the brothel in the Slums of Sulani, Luci was the first ‘person’ he let into his ‘safety area’, the first he wasn’t afraid to get touched by, the first he wanted to have around 25/7, the first he had feelings for, that were more than friendship...
Tumblr media
Of course he knew that their time will come and he will do everything to get Vlad back, but still...
