you take a sip of your coffee just as your phone pings with an incoming notification. glancing down you see that it's from hyunjin, and you quickly unlock your phone to view the message. he's been traveling for work for the last week and was supposed to come back today, but he called you last night to tell you they had to stay for an extra two to three days. you understand that it's for work and that he doesn't get to choose when he goes somewhere or for how long, but that doesn’t stop you from missing him like crazy.

you click on his message and find a photo file with a text beneath it. 

h: i can't stop thinking of you........

you quickly lower your phone and glance around the small cafe to see if anyone is around. it's a little later so the usual morning rush crowd has already come and gone, and there are only a few people still lingering. but no one is sitting even remotely close to the small corner you tucked yourself into to read. 

knowing hyunjin, you have a sneaking suspicion of what kind of photo he sent you. the two of you love to send filthy messages and risky pictures back and forth while he's away. 

what's surprising today is the time. you both typically will text like that late at night, when you're in bed and all you can think about is how horny and desperate you are for each other. with the difference in time zones, one of you is often receiving completely inappropriate content in the middle of day, so it's not out of the norm for you to be getting something like this at 10:30 in the morning. what's intriguing to you is that you know the time difference isn't that significant with his current trip which means it's barely afternoon where he is. he had to stay longer, because they had more stuff to complete so there’s no way he's not in the middle of something for work right now. 

turning back to your phone you take a sip of your coffee and hesitantly click on the picture. except it's not a photo like you originally thought. 

you immediately choke on your latte, fighting with every ounce of physical restraint you possess to not spit it across the table in shock. because playing on your phone is a video of hyunjin jerking off. 

he's in a dimly lit bathroom, and the camera is trained on his reflection in the mirror. the hand not holding his phone is wrapped around his dick, sliding slowly and firmly up and down his throbbing length. 

you can feel your panties growing wetter by the second as you watch the scene unfolding in front of you. he's still fully dressed, his cock just barely out, making it obvious he is short on time and just slipped away from work for a "bathroom break". the whole situation is just so erotic, and you can't help but rub your thighs together to relieve some of the tension. 

you quickly remember you're in a coffee shop in the middle of the morning and immediately stop, glancing around to make sure no one has noticed. 

you turn your gaze back to the screen as he starts increasing his speed and you watch as his mouth moves slightly, mumbling things you can't hear since your phone is on silent. the camera shakes slightly as his jerking grows erratic, his head thrown back, eyes closed, and plush lips parted in overwhelming pleasure as he spills himself into his hand. 

after a few moments his head rolls back, a few stands of his black hair sticking to his now sweaty forehead. he opens his eyes and a taunting smirk slowly crosses his face before everything goes black. 

you stare at the blank screen for who knows how long, still trying to process what you just watched. you both have sent plenty of explicit content before and have definitely engaged in more than your fair share of phone or videochat sex, but never have you sent videos before. it's only ever been pictures and dirty words exchanged between you throughout the day. there was a sort of understanding between you two that as much as you would get each other worked up, you would never actually act on your raging arousal until the other person could partake as well. but this changes everything. 

part of you is still in shock, part of you is frustrated that he would pleasure himself without you, and the other part of you is just plain horny. 

before you can even think of how to respond, your phone pings with another message from hyunjin. 

h: i miss you so much, i just couldn't wait until tonight. i needed to touch myself right now, needed to imagine i was there like i was supposed to be instead of here and that it was your hands wrapped around me while i came instead of mine. 

y/n: jesus christ, jinnie, i'm at a cafe. it's a good thing it's slow right now or someone else would have seen you touching your pretty cock. which you did without my permission i might add.

h: that sounds like a you problem.

y/n: excuse me? i would watch your tone or this will definitely become a you problem.

you fire back, surprised how much his messages have strayed far from his usual submissive tone. 

h: oh really? what are you going to do from hundreds of miles away?

your mouth drops open at his bold message. someone's feeling very bratty today, which seems a bit rude considering he's too far away for you to punish for his behavior. 

h: oh and i would also highly recommend you watch that video again when you can have the sound on...anyway, I should get back to work before chan starts looking for me, have a great day loves <3.

you message him a few more times with no response, so you assume he must have turned his phone off so he could focus on work. you try and return to your original plan of drinking coffee and reading, but you can't focus on the words in your book. all you can think about is that video and his taunting message about watching it with the volume on. 

finally your curiosity and arousal get the best of you, and you drain the rest of your mug before rushing to finish the rest of your errands. you end up forgetting a few things at the grocery store, but you couldn't care less at this point. 

the second you get home you plop on the couch and pull your phone out, not even wanting to take the time to go all the way to your room before watching it again. 

the arousal you've been feeling since you first watched the video only skyrockets when you start it again. the sound of his heavy breathing fills the room while you watch him stroke his cock. as the video continues, his breaths turn to gasps and quiet moans. you can tell even through the small screen that he is struggling to stay quiet so no one hears him in the bathroom. keeping his voice down has always been hard for him in bed, so you're not surprised. 

when he flicks his thumb over the spot just below the tip that you know drives him crazy, you watch as he bites down on his lip hard. despite his teeth sinking deep into the soft flesh of his bottom lip, you still hear the whimper that escapes him. 

just when you think you couldn't possibly be more turned on, he picks up the pace and starts coming into his hand. the absolutely filthy sounds of him finishing echo from your phone speakers, and your eyes nearly roll back from how overwhelmingly erotic the noise is. your already soaked panties are now entirely ruined, and your pussy is aching for him. 

you can't help but watch the video again. and then once more with the company of your favorite vibrator. but even several orgasms later, you still don't feel better. it's as though that video has given you an itch, and no matter how hard you try you won't be able to scratch it yourself. 

a couple of days later, hyunjin is finally almost home. he's due back from the airport at any time, and you couldn't be more excited. or more pissed. 

the last few days have been essentially ruined thanks to him and that fucking video. it's all you can think about, and no matter how many times you get off on your own you want more. you want him. 

and he hasn't been helping in the slightest. he's been super busy finishing up all the things for work he needed to, so he hasn't been able to videochat or call, but he has been texting. ever since he sent that video, he's been such a brat in his messages, and it only caused you to grow more and more frustrated as time went on. 

you're so wound up you think you might explode. and the second hyunjin walks through the door to your apartment, that's exactly what you do. 

"hey, love! how are--" 

"bedroom. now." you don't even give him a chance to finish before you're interrupting him.

“what, no hello? no, ‘my love, i’m so excited you’re home?’” he remarks, quirking a brow as he leans against the closed door lazily. 

“do you really think you deserve that?” you are genuinely happy he’s finally home, especially after having to extend his trip. you also know you’re being a bit harsh, but you’re too frustrated to pretend otherwise. 

“now what could you possibly be talking about?” he does absolutely nothing to suppress the smirk that crosses his face, and you know he’s fully aware of what he did. and fucking proud of himself. 

“you know exactly what the fuck you did.” his taunting behavior is only working to rile you up further. 

“oh, do i?” he pushes off the door and starts sauntering towards you, hands tucked casually in his pockets. his entire demeanor is so out of character for him that you hesitate for a moment, unsure of what to do. when he reaches you, he wraps his arms around your waist to draw you closer, and you can’t help the way you subconsciously lean into him.

“what could i have possibly done to get you this angry?” he murmurs before leaning in to plant soft, open-mouthed kisses along your neckline. you tip your head back as you reach up and twine your fingers through his hair, enjoying his touch for the first time in so long.

his hands move down to start slowly sliding up your bare thighs, and you quickly remember that all you’re wearing is one of his t-shirts. the hem brushes his fingers, and he slips them beneath the soft fabric, trailing them up the sides of your waist and towards your aching breasts. as much as your body is desperate to give in to him and his pursuits, you know you can’t just let him get away with acting like such a brat to you.

gently grasping his wrists, you lean in closer to him. “you owe me new panties,” you whisper before pulling his earlobe in your mouth, biting the soft flesh before dragging your teeth across it, pulling a moan from deep in his throat. 

“oh?” he manages to say before gasping as you travel down the column of his neck and across his throat. 

you pause, but keep your mouth against him so he can feel your lips brush back and forth across his sensitive skin as you speak. “yes, every pair of mine has been absolutely ruined since that stunt you pulled by sending me that damned video. i’ve been soaked for days now.”

“mmm, i’m so sorry, baby,” he moans, sounding very much so unapologetic. “i was just trying to show you how much i missed you.”

when you pull away to look at him, he pops his bottom lip out in a faux pout and you grind your teeth, so fed up with his attitude. 

“oh, really? that’s what you were trying to do?” you break away from him completely and stalk towards the bedroom. you hear him following you and spin around to shoot him a deadly glare once you walk through the doorway. “i can think of about a hundred other ways to tell someone you miss them besides jerking off in the middle of the afternoon.”

“but none of them would have been nearly as fun.” 

"as fun for who? because nothing has been farther from fun than how i’ve felt for the last few days.”

“well that’s too bad, because you may not have enjoyed it, but i was having a hell of a good time.” that damn smirk is on his face again, and your blood boils at how flippant he continues to be. 

“i would sit on your face right now if i knew it would make you shut up,” you spit out before you can even think twice about what you’re saying. “but, unfortunately, i get the feeling it wouldn’t stop you from running your mouth, and not in the way that i like.”

“see, i think you like me running my mouth. i think you like it a lot more than you want to admit,” he brushes past you and walks over to your nightstand, pretending to be interested in the decorations he has seen a million times before. “i mean, you said it yourself, your panties have been soaked for days.”

his casual demeanor is infuriating, but this confident, bratty side of him is so new you’re not totally sure how to respond. all you know is part of you is insanely turned on by it, while the other part of you wants to wrap your hand around his throat and fuck him until he turns back into the whiny, submissive slut he’s supposed to be.

at your silence, he nonchalantly glances over his shoulder at you. “you can just admit it, i wouldn’t blame you for it. i do have an incredible mouth.”

he did not just…fine. if he’s wants to play, then you will play. 

you join him across the room and wrap your arms around him, immediately slipping your fingers beneath his shirt to start tracing shapes across his stomach. although he tries to not respond, you don’t miss the way his breath catches when your fingers flit along the waistband of his pants, dipping every so slightly beneath. 

“oh, they’ve been absolutely soaked alright. yesterday i just didn’t wear underwear the whole day. i figured it would help me save on laundry,” you move your arms up to pull his shirt over his head before sliding your hand down along the front of his pants, cupping his already hard cock.

“this is all i’ve been able to think about,” you start to rub your palm along his length while you speak, knowing he can’t resist the combination of your dirty words and taunting hands. “toys work fine and all, but nothing is ever quite like the real thing."

when you give him a firm squeeze he turns around, unable to hold out any longer. you quickly step just out of his reach, pulling your bottom lip into your mouth as you flash him a sly grin.

“nuh, uh. i don’t know if you deserve to touch me quite yet,” you taunt. he reaches for you again, but you back away. you continue across the room towards the bed and he follows, getting more desperate to touch you with every step.

“come on, don’t do this. you know i was just playing with you," he pleas.

without saying a word, you finally step closer and pull him into a passionate kiss. your mouths clash, tongues quickly intertwining as you guide him backward. he breaks the kiss for a moment to grin victoriously when the back of his legs suddenly hit the mattress.

the confidence in his smile quickly fades to nervousness when you firmly press on his shoulders, causing him to sit on the edge of the bed, a sinister look in your eyes. 

“i don’t think you truly understand what it was like having to watch that video. forced to be an observer to your pleasure from hundreds of miles away, not being able to touch you or taste you,” you crawl up around his body as you speak, pausing your words every now and again to kiss his chest, or suck on the side of his neck, dragging your tongue across his warm flesh.  “do you know how devastatingly erotic you look when you cum?”

you’ve now made it so you’re positioned directly behind him, sitting up on your knees. hyunjin’s gaze follows you the entire time, watching your every movement. they track the path of your hands as you start slowly dragging them down his sides and across his stomach causing his muscles to tighten involuntarily beneath your touch. 

when he doesn’t respond, you reach around him to grasp his chin firmly between your fingers, turning his head until it’s facing directly at the full length mirror positioned on the wall opposite of your bed. your eyes meet his in the reflection and he watches as you lean in close to him, dropping your voice low when you speak again. 

“i haven’t been able to think of anything but how you looked when you spilled into your hand in that bathroom. the sounds that poured from your mouth when you found your pleasure. i’ve been completely unable to focus on anything else. all my time the last few days has been spent replaying it in my head, watching the video over and over, touching myself all day long to try and release this constant tension. but no matter how many times i make myself cum, it does nothing for the ache in my pussy. an ache that you caused…and now you’re going to see what that looks like.”

you don’t miss the way his pupils dilate slightly at your words or the way a shiver rolls through his body.

“so here’s what’s going to happen. you’re going to sit here and watch in that mirror while i touch you. you are to keep your eyes on yourself, not me. i want you to see how utterly intoxicating you look when you lose yourself in pleasure. if you refuse to play by my rules, i won’t let you cum. if you look away, i won’t let you cum. if you open that bratty little mouth of yours to do anything but beg, i won’t let you cum. understood?”

he nods slightly at your commands, throat rolling as he swallows thickly. 

“now take off your pants.”

a smile grows on your face as you watch him obey immediately, quickly shedding his clothing before sitting back on the edge of the bed in front of you. his dick is already painfully hard, and you haven’t even started yet. 

wasting no time, you wrap your fingers around his length, enjoying the hiss that leaves his lips at your touch. you whisper dirty words in his ear with every movement of your hand.

“you look so pretty like this, your body on display with my hand on your cock.”

“look at that. watch how your breathing jumps and your stomach clenches when i stroke you like this.”

“do you see the way your lips part when you can’t possibly hold back a moan for a moment longer? the only thing that could make them look better is if they were wrapped around my nipples.”

he listens obediently, eyes never leaving the mirror as he takes in every detail of his erotic, stunning form being brought closer and closer to orgasm.

his dick is practically throbbing in your hold, and you can tell the addition of watching himself fall apart in front of his eyes is only adding to his pleasure, rushing him towards release faster than ever before. you start to flick your thumb over his head with every pull of your hand, and he chokes on a moan.

after a few more strokes, you lean forward to suck on the sensitive spot just below his ear, and that’s all it takes to send him hurtling over the edge. 

his head starts to fall back towards your shoulder, eyes fluttering shut as loud moans and curses pour from his lips while his orgasm tears through him. 

“no,” you command, using your free hand to tip his head back up to face the mirror again. “watch.”

he manages to open his eyes once more, focusing his gaze once more on his reflection. sweaty strands of black hair cling to his forehead, his plush lips are parted slightly, and his entire body is starting to shudder as the intensity of his release threatens to overwhelm him. you continue to stroke him even after he has finished cumming, making sure to draw out each and every aftershock of his orgasm, stopping just before he crosses the threshold into overstimulation. 

you release his cock and slowly draw your hands up and down the lengths of his arms while planting gentle kisses on his neck. for several moments the only sound in the room is hyunjin’s panting, his chest heaving as he tries to catch his breath while coming down from his high.

once he seems to have calmed down most of the way, you stand up off the bed to circle around in front of him, standing between his legs. you tip his chin until he looks up at you, his eyes still somewhat dazed from the intensity of his orgasm. 

“do you understand now?”

he nods almost robotically in response, brain clearly still trying to catch up and you bite your bottom lip while smiling to yourself, fully enjoying just how blissed out he looks in this moment. 

“good boy. now that we’ve cleared that up, i’m going to put that bratty little mouth of yours to good use and ride your face until you make me cum so hard i see stars. then you’re going to fuck me like i deserve until i forget just how badly my pussy has been aching for you.”

the dazed look in his eyes completely disappears at your filthy words and he nods enthusiastically, willing falling backwards onto the bed when you tap his chest lightly, ready to drown in your dripping cunt.

AvPhysics - An Analysis [Finale]

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - [Part 4]

All the questions have been finally answered...

How did TSC_0 avoid crashing into the sun?

Like I said, everything in AvPhysics was intentional and calculated, I don't think Alan/Terkoiz would just randomly decide, "Ehh let's fan the sun with a hat." That's why I didn't include it in my analysis before. But I finally found out why-

Credits to @Toxic

It was a horse reference. Can't believe I completely missed that. I was imagining him as a bull rider, you know, like those rodeo things.

TSC_0 was actually side-kicking the rocket and waving his hat, because he was doing what is called horse "spurring". Riders do it to encourage the horse to perform specific moves, speed up, or most importantly- change its course.

Here's an image for your reference.

Why was the rocket marked as quantum entangled?

Also credits to @Toxic

Unlike the 1D strings, this rocket is 3D (or maybe more). TSC_-1 had to make its parts entangled so that when it passes through the Einstein-Rosen Bridge (wormhole), it will retain the same form when it finally becomes its full size.

Remember, the TSCs had to shrink themselves to enter the singularity. So enlarging something would presumably, require effort as well.

What did TSC_-1 selected on the wormhole?

Credits to @donaardaardendrian. You can see their replies in [Part 3].

He didn't select 2D (which I assumed to be back to the AvA universe). He actually selected "2B" which means selecting a different universe from the one they're currently on.

It basically establishes that TSC_-1 is going to end up on another AvE Episode (instead of home). A cool little detail if you ask me.

Was the power of creation demonstrated inside the singularity, explainable in quantum string theory? Or is that solely just TSC's abilities?

The nuclear engineer described what the TSC versions are doing as having access to extradimensional supertechnology. Not exactly a conclusive answer, but I guess the power of creation is just TSC (?). And that it's not possible/achievable in terms of quantum string theory.

How does AvE tie in with the original AvA Universe?

The wiki defines AvM as a spin-off series, so AvE is probably going to be a spin-off series as well.

Personally, as of now, I don't think this is the same TSC from the AvA Universe. Since this episode introduced the concept of parallel universes, there's a high chance this is a different version from our TSC.

But why would Alan suddenly introduce multiple versions of a character?

Well, he already kinda does. I've always thought that, for example: AvM Yellow vs AvA Yellow are two different people. But that's just me.

Also, AvPokemon was observed by other characters. The gang was eating popcorn as it happened. So far, AvE is just TSC. It's why I think he's a different one, from an entirely different universe. I don't think he'll ever come to AvA. He's just a separate thing.

Last notes:

I recommend watching the nuclear engineer's video, because he explained the Doppler Effect really well.

I couldn't come up with any reason as to why the apple got caught up in the Inner Horizon, other than to make us visually see that TSC_0 is shrinking.

Finally...

Thank you to everyone who liked the Analysis. Here on Tumblr, Reddit, and Discord. You guys made me feel that the effort was worth it.

Okay, so, I feel like I need to give my take on Stone Ocean's ending. I've seen a lot of different interpretations but I'd like to give mine. Needless to stay

⚠️SPOILERS ⚠️

For JoJo Part 6: Stone Ocean beyond this point

Alright now that the squares are gone let's talk. I'm gonna assume everyone here is caught up and has seen the BONKERS way Stone Ocean ended, or has read the manga or watched a YouTube video explaining the whole thing. However you got there, I'm assuming you know. Just in case, to quickly summarize:

Pucci successfully evolves his stand into its final form, Made in Heaven, which allows him to enact Dio's plan. By speeding up the universe to the point where it would naturally end, but preserving the souls of all those currently living, he would create a new universe where everyone has lived through all of time and knew their fates. This is what Dio called "Heaven," a world where everyone knew the path they walked and would never know fear or uncertainty. Part of Pucci's plan also involved killing all his enemies so they wouldn't be reborn in the new universe and... He succeeded. He managed to kill Jotaro, Jolyne, Weather Report, Hermes and Anasui, meaning the only survivor from our main group was Emporio.

However, even though their souls didn't carry over, their fates were still set in motion, and someone still had to walk their paths. Thus...

Oh god kill it with fire ahem, um, right. The JoJoWiki describes these two as "doppelgangers" of Jolyne and Jotaro, and... Yeah that about sums it up. We never learn their names, but we know that they've seemingly lived identical lives as their counterparts up to this point. However, they don't last long. Emporio, using the disc containing Weather Report's stand, defeats Pucci. This triggers a second reboot, and the birth of a third universe.

This is where the confusion comes in (I know, you'd think we'd already covered the confusing stuff). There's some debate over whether this is a *new* universe, or if Pucci's death *unmade* the rebooted universe and restored the original. The former seems to be the case, from my viewing. However, something notable has changed.

Jolyne is back! Well, not quite. She certainly *looks* like our Jolyne, and not the strange doppel!Jolyne seen above, but this is Irene. She's lived a totally different life from Jolyne, having a healthy relationship with her father, a loving boyfriend in Anakiss (this universe's counterpart to Anasui) and has never been to Green Dolphin Street Prison. So... What's up with that?

Well, I've heard some people say that this is because Pucci didn't exist in this universe. Without Pucci things played out differently, creating a different version of events. But... That's not how Made in Heaven works. That's not how *fate* works in JoJo. Fate is a material force, it's *gravity*, literally. When Jotaro and Jolyne were gone, doppelgangers filled their void in the new universe, so why no doppel!Pucci?

Well, that's because the change isn't Pucci's death. In fact, Pucci may be alive and well without his memories in this universe. My interpretation is that when Pucci was killed by Emporio, it forced another reboot, but this time without Made in Heaven to suppress the souls of Jolyne and the gang and stop their rebirth. Additionally, Made in Heaven's destruction seems to have *changed* Fate. That really is Jolyne, Anasui, Hermes and Weather at the end. They've just been freed from the bindings of destiny. In a way, this is Araki letting the Joestar bloodline finally retire.

This isn't a funeral. This is a prison break.

WIP Wednesday rolls around once again

This time we got an intro scene, plus a rewritten part of what I shared prior.

Forgot to mention in my last WIP Post that this fic does depict a character experiencing burnout and/or depression. Just as a heads up.

Research and Development's Thursday afternoon check-in meeting was well underway, only Zanzo had yet to arrive. Had this been his first absence, Macaron could let it slide. His index finger, seemingly of its own accord, rubbed the spine of the work journal clipped to his belt. He would have to seek him out afterwards, wouldn't he?

"Eyeballing his chair won't make him appear, sir," O5-KAR said, accented in trademark brogue. "It's best to keep on with business."

"Right." Macaron (does something). "How close are we to implementing the new BRU-T4L AI?"

"We finished another round of testing in Chamber Two," a PGR-0101 piped up. #11133 according to their worker identification badge. "But as you remember from the video I linked, things aren't going well."

Macaron knew. Four PGR-0101 units supervised a BRU-T4L, a seven foot monstrosity with spinning blades attached to its hands, as it pruned a potted hedge. For reasons currently under investigation, a CUT-WAN fresh out of repair bounded into the testing chamber. The BRU-T4L paused its labor, scrutinizing the robotic dog. Everyone watched in horror as the BRU-T4L reached down and… cradled the CUT-WAN in its long, rubbery arms. Attempts to retrieve the CUT-WAN from the otherwise aggressive BRU-T4L's hold resulted in snarling and severed mechanical limbs. Staff had to wait until the BRU-T4L ended its rumbling punctuated cuddle session on its own.

"I reviewed the code afterwards," #11133 said. "Someone edited it right before we installed it. The perpetrator added a series of commands related to a 'baby rocking mode'." Their statement ended with an air of disbelief. "To make things weirder, these same commands originated from the earliest iteration of the BRU-T4L's code."

Macaron thought for a moment. "Could Zanzo have added it?"

#11133 began. "Zanzo's an engineer-"

"And a disorganized one at that," O5-KAR interjected.

"So he often left the programming to us robots.  The last time he added a special feature to a product was to make it explode."

…

"Is Zanzo in his office?" Macaron asked #11133 as they were leaving.

"Probably. I don't think he's left since clocking in this morning."

...

Macaron knocked once before opening the office door. True to the SCR-UB's assessment, the area was a disaster zone. Notes and diagrams littered the floor, increasing in amount closer to Zanzo's desk. Out of curiosity, Macaron picked one up to read, only to find it marred by red ink scribbles and the scrawled comment: "AWFUL!!! Needs More PUNCH". 

Zanzo sat behind his desk, face planted on its surface. Most of his natural black hair had grown back in, leaving green tips. Its current style partly obscured the polymer port covers where his neural wires plugged in. (Zanzo didn't wear them now, as his current status blocked him from work pipeline access.) Macaron thought Zanzo was asleep until he raised his head. He pushed back from the desk, face frozen in a blank stare. Dark circles ringed his eyes and stubble covered his cheeks.

"Zanzo?" Macaron reached over to tap him on the shoulder. Zanzo caught the movement, nearly launching himself off his chair with a gasp. He scrambled to up the volume on his aural implants - silver disks located where organic ears would be.

“Mister Macaron! Are you here to tell me how good of a worker drone I’m being?” Zanzo smiled broadly, though it didn’t reach his eyes. Without waiting for a response, he clapped his hands together. "Since you've graced me with your presence, I can show you, uh, show you the current model. One minute." Zanzo focused his attention on the computer, flipping through multiple tabs with dizzying speed.

Macaron rested a hand near Zanzo's forearm, and the latter froze. "You can email it to me afterwards." He pulled up a nearby stool and perched on it. "Zanzo, is everything alright?"

Zanzo chuckled. "I'm not dying anytime soon. You'll have to tolerate me a little bit longer."

"That's not what I-" Macaron cleared his throat. "You've skipped three staff meetings in a row."

"We're just doing the same thing we've done all month. Checking in is redundant. It's not like there won't be a summary log tomorrow."

Time for Macaron to play his trump card. "Then I suppose the fact we've moved on to renovating the BRU-T4L is of no interest to you."

"Perhaps." Zanzo stroked his goatee in a more absent minded way as he looked off to the side. Not the reaction Macaron hoped for.

"It's like one of your, er, babies. Shouldn't you be more worried about what'll happen to it?"

Zanzo paused to side-eye Macaron. "You've never consulted me about modifying my other creations before. What's changed?"

“I wanted to ask you about a specific feature the BRU-T4L has," Macaron said after a long pause.

A brief spark lit up in Zanzo's eyes as he straightened his posture. In that moment, Macaron glimpsed the engineering intern who'd pestered him with robot design concepts all those years ago. "By all means, ask away."

  "Why does it have a 'baby rocking' feature? It stands out compared to everything else."

"Why not?" Zanzo waved dismissively. "So maybe a self indulgent thought slipped through the pipeline during my drafting. And maybe, I neglected to remove the resulting feature. It doesn't carry as much weight as you think it does."

"You like being rocked?" The image of Zanzo cradled by the BRU-T4L in a similar manner to that CUT-WAN popped into Macaron's mind. Odd and, as Chai would say, mildly cursed.

Zanzo's jaw dropped. "I- not necessarily."

"Would something like that help you destress?"

"I ALREADY SAID-" Zanzo's outburst cut off and he sank down into his chair, rubbing his face. He let out a sigh. "Don't patronize me for this. Please."

Since when did Zanzo ever say "please"? "Zanzo," Macaron began. "I promise I'm not making fun of you. My priority right now is finding a way to support you."

"To answer your previous question, rocking is one of my stims. I rarely do so at work because…" Macaron nodded to encourage Zanzo finishing his sentence. Except he let it hang.

A long silence passed between them. Macaron broke it. "I'm thinking maybe that feature could be incorporated into a robot which doesn't have saw-blade hands. While we may be focused on renovating our current product line, that doesn't mean we can't plan for the future. This could be an opportunity to create something beneficial."

The corner of Zanzo's mouth twitched. "It's not exciting, though. Are you sure anyone would invest in it?"

"SCR-UBs clean. CAR-11Es, er, carry stuff," Macaron explained. "What they do is simple, but necessary. Most of the time, that's all anyone needs."

About tough decisions to use the right music track to a specific scene

Not all readers of "The Broken Bridge" listen to the hand-selected music tracks for my scenes(*), but I want to go into a little more detail in this particular post so you can see how much effort can go into just one scene.

As you may know, HeinrichVSA, my beta reader and friend, and I work closely together to select certain music tracks. I write and he finds the music tracks that I end up choosing to use. It's not always easy, because on the one hand the length has to fit the scene and on the other hand it has to support the mood as perfectly as possible. I listen to the music while I read the scene at the same time, checking whether the dynamics match certain actions precisely and then I determine the sentence in the story where exactly the music should start. A perfect result would be if the track stops exactly at the end of the scene and the dynamics in it can emphasise certain actions. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it is desirable for the music to cover several scenes.

I can't use many titles simply because they involve singing or speaking, or because there is clapping from the audience at the end. This distracts from reading. So far I've only used two songs with vocals in "The Broken Bridge", but only as bonus tracks at the end of the chapters. With the exception of titles where the vocals are untranslatable and part of the music (Sámi Joik, for example). Watch a film and see how the score is used in certain scenes to heighten the drama, then you'll understand what I mean.

In the last chapter, "Corona", I wanted you not only to read about Fabian's joy at being back home and reliving a childhood memory, but to literally feel his emotions. Everyone knows the scene in Tangled where Rapunzel dances with joy in the square in front of the church and draws other people around her into it. In my opinion, it's one of the best scenes in the film and I love this song.

My only problem with it was how to integrate the relatively short song into the already written scene in such a way that it both emphasises Fabian's thoughts and feelings on the way through the town and ends exactly when the dance is over. The increasing speed of the dance also had to fit in as closely as possible with what had already been written. So I started looking for alternatives over the next few days after finishing the chapter. Some YouTubers extended the song, but either it lost its original dynamics, or you could hear too clearly where the song was edited or it was simply extended in the wrong place. There were also two very well-made remakes from fans to choose from, but either just as short as the original (2 min 20) or unfortunately with adverts at the end. In the end, I decided in favour of an extremely well-made extended version that met all my criteria.

(*) Many Frozen fans on Tumblr don't read fanfics on a computer, but on their smartphone. Tumblr unfortunately has the stupid habit of simply stopping embedded songs in posts when you read with the app. This doesn't happen if you read my chapters in the blog on a laptop, for example.

Here are the songs from Tangled Fans that I sorted out, but which are still great:

Heinrich's 1st choice, the Tavern Edition:

My find, as a violin duet, unfortunately with adverts for more of their videos at the end:

My previous favourite to use song in the chapter, 16 seconds longer than the original, but still extended in the wrong place:

And an alternative track that would have worked in theory, but was unfortunately too long and had applause at the end:

The remaining alternatives with edited originals are only given here as links:

youtube.com/watch?v=d6o9u0a3GJ8 (Kingdom dance (extended, doubled and tripled chorus)) youtube.com/watch?v=81GocqvwTMg (Kingdom Dance crossover with "How To Train Your Dragon" at the end) Someone even came up with the idea of editing this track for a real dance with a length of 4:02, but the dynamics are totally lost in the process: youtube.com/watch?v=cGnhmA3BNbI

The following were also up for selection:

youtube.com/watch?v=VI-JynUarrs (Rapunzel's Exordium by Frostudio Chambersonic) youtube.com/watch?v=sMCwW0TcBYk (Reels, irish dance music, good but far too long) youtube.com/watch?v=u9veEEnax-k (Reels traditional, by Katie Grennan, same as above) youtube.com/watch?v=tIQjHeMYBfg (Slip Jigs, by Katie Grennan, too long, wrong instruments for the scene) and a few others This one is funny for the dance performance starting at 4:19 (Apollo's Fire - O'Carolan Dance scene), but too long as well, laughing in the audience plus applause and too slow over all: youtube.com/watch?v=1OD4jAOp5So youtube.com/watch?v=givlwY9d9UQ (animated movie excerpt, but sadly with spoken words in it)

Last find for the Tangled fans here, a video with animated Corona scenes for relaxing Tangled music to study & relax, with a length of nearly one hour!

If there is one event i'm definitely gonna watch, its the karaoke. Originally Rikka and Astel is part of this however both talents are in recovery. So they chose other talents to replace them. Rikka chose Temma and Astel chose Uyu.

Its amazingly nice how they set up the ones who doesn't have 3D yet, the same way Neo Porte's Minase was presented in Gamma's birthday stream, moving cardboard!! lol

Its pretty cute how Izuru initiated going up in front of Hakka and Octavio, kneeling in front of them and cheering for them as they sing. Of course the rest of the Stars quickly follow, kneeling in front of their kouhai to cheer for them. Seriously, Izuru's excited tippy taps is so cute!

A personal funny thing that happened when Octavio sang Hohoemi no Bakudan (Yu Yu Hakusho), I commented 'the song of my people'. My fellow "South Elysium" countrymen is well acquinted with this anime song, you can't call yourself an anime fan here if you don't know this song. Later on the chat I saw "THE SONG OF OUR PEOPLE". I just laughed, my phone is not new and opening the keyboard while in full screen mode is quite annoying. I really want them, all 23 of them, to be one one stream!

I was expecting them to be all loud but I guess Roberu have to be senpai to his 2 kouhai. Roberu was quiet and wore a worried expression while in between bouncing Gamma and Jurard.

I'll be honest, I wasn't paying all my attention to this stream. But everytime Jurard freaks out, my attention goes back to the stream. It's pretty funny cause they commented on Jurard's reactions/tension. Initially they think he was nervous but they concluded that he was just very happy.

A lot of Roberu and Gamma's fans were interviewed and luckily for Jurard, there was a cosplayer who dressed up. I was wishing they interviewed more cosplayers like last year but I guess because their on site reporter, Toshinari Fukamachi, is a famous voice actor his safety is taken into consideration.

Its also pretty nice to see their mama's (illustrator's) drawings around the expo.

Also its pretty cool that Roberu is translating what Jurard was saying. I was worried that Jurard was mixed in when he is not fluent in Japanese. I bet they have a translator behind the scene and I was wondering it wasn't Izuru, Temma or Axel. I forgot that Roberu had that one episode of WachaStars with Izuru where they translated English to Japanese.

Not gonna lie though, because the walk through is curated they managed highlight the Holostars Expo quite well.

[cosettepontmercys]

Hi!!! I missed talking to you! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I am happy you had a nice trip though! I forgot to tell you that Boston makes me think of this one song from 5th or 6th grade with the lyric I think I'm going to Boston where no one knows my name..lol and I hadn't thought of that song in years. My brother's bday was good! We just made dinner for him but I got pretty drunk before I could eat cuz I had two drinks and 4 shots. At one point my sister was on the floor laughing so hard haha. I usually just like to have margaritas, or something in a can though. What about you? I'm guessing you don't have any siblings..do you? Your trip sounds fun. What musical and concert did you see? Hope you have more strength and get better soon. I hope I don't become sick during the winter months but I usually do.

Omg how were you 9 in 6th grade? Did you skip grades or is the school system just different internationally? I'm sorry..I really don't know so I'm genuinely asking haha. Was it also the Teardrops on my Guitar video!!! I remember finding it randomly in 5th grade and I never looked back haha. Ooh yes..so usually at the end of the year my sister and I pick out top 10 albums and songs of the year..so maybe I'll share a list when the time comes. I can recommend you a few of my favorites by them if you want just to see if you like it so just let me know..since that is not technically new music to me from this year. I think you recommended Del Water Gap to me once and I finally listened to his album last week and enjoyed it. This week, i am listening to new music from some of my favorite bands..Plain White Ts, Cannons and Bad Suns, which are kinda in a similar genre to Del Water Gap. Although his music almost sort of reminds me of the 1975 too. Tied Together with a Smile was probably really special cuz I think that was one of the only times she has performed it live. Ooh that's awesome! It would be a dream for me to go to the Europe tour to see her and Paramore but it sadly won't happen but I think that's so cool. It will be interesting if there will be any changes to the show by then.

It's literally one of my favorite movie musicals so I hope you can watch it soon. It's a little weird and crazy but also unique and interesting to me and I love it! Ya i think it's just different from the original movie cuz it felt more updated and modern. Idk how I feel about the cast..like Cady and Janis seem off to me but I like Renee so hopefully it's good but I don't have high expectations either. Idk if I will see it or not either. Oh wow cool! I'm not sure what immersive actually means but that's so far away haha. I can't imagine planning anything for then. Every concert I go to is usually so last minute but it seems cool.

I looked up the book and it seems pretty similar to conversations with friends actually so idk if I would like it. I've actually been reading Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes cuz the movie came out. I'm actually almost done and only have two chapters left. I was able to read it pretty fast but I basically speed read it and skim read some parts too. I think it was okay but I wasn't sure if I really liked it but I also don't usually read that genre either. It felt too long and was just okay to me. It definitely wasn't as interesting as Hunger Games. I think the movie will be better though and I might see it this weekend and can let you know how it is if I do. But I'm still proud of myself for mostly finishing it..since I never do that. But it has been on my shelf and I knew I wouldn't read it if I just saw the movie, but I also think you could just see the movie and don't have to read it. But you should definitely be familiar with hunger games if you do, but I hadn't read or couldn't remember much of Mockingjay and was fine so it's up to you.

It is pretty! I'm excited for the new Bleachers album and love the Japanese House album too. Sunshine Baby will probably be one of my fav songs of the year. I will listen to Sabrina's EP when it gets closer to Christmas. It seems like you have a lot of vinyls..I don't really play mine as much but just have a collection of old musicals cast recordings I can find and my absolute fav artists.

She sang Slut on the piano and I loved it so much! She also sang Suburban Legends and Stay Beautiful..which goes with my point about how those songs were pretty similar ideas. I always always connected Stay Beautiful and Dorothea since I first heard it and I think Suburban Legends is another layer of that. Also Maisie's song Truth is has a similar lyric to this song. I love the song a lot now and it has really grown on me. But in the song she says I always knew it and used the word ruin as well so I thought that was interesting, even if the songs are still pretty different. Then my sister pointed out that Taylor sings the lyrics truth is in one of the vault songs. I didn't believe her at first but she was right! She sings it in Now that we don't talk! Truth is I can't pretend it's platonic..its just ended, and it just felt like the craziest connection to me. She also sang Me and So it Goes as a pair! Haha well I would say the same for me and my sister..she is like dark and wears black and I'm more like Lover and love to wear pink. But I also love rep which also has a lot of love songs. I am also Red and Folklore haha but my aesthetic is definitely like Lover. So people seem very split on if new music or the other two rerecordings is coming first next year so I guess I'll ask your opinion on that. I kinda think she wants to finish out the rerecordings cuz of the eras tour but I can see an argument for her wanting new music out too I guess. As for rep..I think she will announce it at one of her next shows in February and sing IDSB to announce it since that's the only song left. I also think the karma video hinted at rep being announced around then. I also hope she is taking care of herself..especially after everything that happened this week. It made me so sad but also Taylor shows and music makes me feel better when I feel sad but I always hope she does what's best for her. Thank you. I didn't mean for it to come off that way really but I just wanted to let you know in case things get too busy for me. It was so nice to hear from you and I really hope you're taking care of yourself too!!!

hi hi friend !!! it is okay 🤍 i have laryngitis :( (and i'm still getting over the plague that i picked up in boston) so that's fun! it's funny because i texted my best friend that and she was like "who said that? webmd?" and i was like "no the urgent care doctor" 😭 but it's funny because i am very good at going down a webmd spiral </3

i don't have any siblings! i'm an only child! my drink of choice is usually white wine / rose — i really love trader joe's peach pie wine but that's seasonal (i stock up during the summer though)! i love my drinks sweet, and if i'm drinking something ✨ fun ✨ i'll usually get either a b-52, a lemon drop, strawberry daiquiri, peach bellini or a espresso martini. but not a very big drinker (especially in the last year, with all my health stuff). i hope you don't get sick in the winter either!! 🤍

you're totally fine! they start school earlier in hong kong, which is how i was 9 in 6th grade! it was indeed teardrops!! and then i went down a rabbit hole, found all her music — and her unreleased stuff — at that time, and then just fell in love! i would love to see your top 10 albums + songs of the year — i will do the same and we can chat about our favorites! and yes, i loveeee del water gap! i'm super bummed his seattle concert was when i was in boston, because otherwise i definitely would've gone. speaking of concerts, i had to sell my japanese house concert ticket which i'm really bummed about but ... given laryngitis and everything, it's definitely the right move. i've never heard of bad suns or cannons but i'll give them a listen soon 🤍 and yes, i loveee the 1975-esque sound, that's one of the things that first drew me to DWG!

i wonder if she'll sing castles crumbling instead of long live in europe, or if she'll do both, since hayley will be there? some of my friends are going and i'm really really excited for them — going to make them bracelets too!

i am very bad at doing things super last minute! i am incredibly type a which is something i'm working on! but i just really like knowing what i'll be doing next and all that!

i think i'm going to try to do a hunger games reread and then read TBOSAS in december!! i'm hoping to finish at least reading cleo & frank this month, and then work on night circus, les mis, and hunger games etc. in december? i'm trying to be a bit more realistic with goals and factor in plans and also ... sickness, since that just seems unavoidable at this point! let me know how you find the movie! it's taken over my entire tiktok fyp!

i have a lot of vinyls, yes! but i don't spin them as much as i should (oops)! i have some old musical cast recordings too (and some newer ones), but i actually very rarely listen to cast recordings on vinyl! i think once and sunday in the park with george are the only ones i've listened to? sitpwg was my first vinyl! very special to me 🤍

oh i love the truth is → parallel! and i was SO happy to hear her sing me! although i was manifesting it for my friend who is seeing her in tokyo! i just love how every surprise song pairing is so so so good. just like, a completely unmatched discography. and i also think she'll do reputation soon and then debut last! which would be great for ME! i want her to release debut close to the end of next year so i can bank on a debut vault song haha! i hope she's doing okay too :(

this is what i thought of when i read your message about you and your sister! my friend and i always joke this is us too:

hope you have a good thanksgiving if you celebrate! / long weekend!! 🤍

Ferrari wont tell Leclerc to calm down after third crash in eight days | 2023 Miami Grand Prix

Ferrari won’t tell Charles Leclerc to rein in his aggressive approach to qualifying despite his third crash in eight days during qualifying. Leclerc crashed twice in the high-speed left-hander of turns six, seven and eight over the first two days of running at the Miami International Autodrome. The second occurred during Q3 and left him seventh on the grid for today’s race. He took pole position for both races in Azerbaijan one week ago, despite also crashing during the sprint race qualifying session. Leclerc’s coach Jock Clear said the incidents were a result of him taking risks in order to overcome the team’s deficit to Red Bull. “In some ways this maybe is a reflection of his mindset when he’s up against a car that is demonstrably quicker than his. It’s a sort of ‘I’m just going to have to make the difference myself’. Which, of course, physics ultimately catches you out. “We’re not going to say to him, ‘look, calm down Charles’, because over the course of a year his qualifying is outstanding and that puts him in a very strong position for a lot of races, as he did last weekend, clearly. “But the car’s been relatively quite nice here. It’s not been a car they had real struggles with this weekend. I think he’s felt the opportunity for another pole position to be honest and maybe he just got a bit ahead of himself.” Ferrari have repaired Leclerc’s car for today’s race and replaced its upgraded floor without incurring any penalties. “We went in backwards so rear wing, we changed the gearbox and obviously the floor was damaged so we changed the floor and rear suspension,” said Clear. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “None of which caused a problem in terms of penalties or our pool of gearboxes or anything. So we’re comfortable with that. But obviously from a from a safety point of view, we have to change everything and then take it back to the factory, check it all.” In his first crash at the corner on Friday, Leclerc hit the barrier nose-first, which spared any damage to the car’s new floor. However he hit the barrier rear-first when he crashed on Saturday, which Clear suspects he did intentionally out of “self-preservation”. “If you watch the video, he ends up pointing straight and then it’s almost like he thinks ‘no, I think I’ll go in the other way’. He was going quite quickly at the time, I think it might have been a bit of self-preservation.” “He had a bit of a bit of a bang the day before going in front-wards and I don’t think he wanted to repeat that,” Clear added.

video editing is a fucking nightmare

I just wanted to play a bunch of vids one by one and speed the whole thing up

Why is it so difficult

I'm definitely not gifted in this lmao

#ye i tried to do a speedpaint #it's just #idk it's very satisfying for me to watch them #so i wanted to do one myself #and i did #but at first the recording program didn't capture the whole process #like a part of sketching is missing #and then the editing is apparently too difficult for me #and a vid is exporting from the editing program for like 3 hours #whyyy #i just wanted a satisfying speedpaint to watch and kinda be proud of myself #but it's not satisfying cause #1. not the whole thing was recorded #2. it wouldn't fuse the vids right #i had to watch the last part just by speeding up the original video in the player #i'm a perfectionist ok this was not satisfying lmao #eeeh #why am i not sleeping

Just thinking about…

ALPHA BAKUGOU & his “late bloomer” OMEGA GIRLFRIEND 🌬🥀

Rated M

*Will be releasing part 2 of this (scheming scumbag Katsu will make a brief appearance in that one, he’s just ultra horny for ya in this one)

Part 2

👉🏼👌🏽

-You’re the only omega in not just 1-A but the entire 2nd year class, that has yet to of suffered through gotten their ♨️HEAT♨️

-At the ripe age of 13 (some even younger than that) omegas around you fell victim to had all started getting it.

-You nervously waited for it to be your turn.

-Age 13 came and went

- You still hadn’t gotten it

- The next three years passed by in a similar fashion

-Your mother and fellow omega friends consistently reassured you that these things tend to happen, always saying “You’re just a late bloomer ________, it’ll come soon” as they gave your shoulders a squeeze or a soft pat to your pretty little head

-One person in particular was sweating (pun not intended) this fact much more than you were: That person being an Alpha and your closest childhood friend (He’d seen to it); Katsuki Bakugou.

-God, how he dreamed of the day you’d finally present 💝 This thought fueled a long awaited fantasy he’d imagined since his rut first hit.

Closing his eyes he pictures himself entering your house, heading straight towards your bedroom door. Swiftly opening it, he’d find you naked with your back arched, ass poised high in the air, pussy glistening with slick as you look back at him. Begging with your eyes, pleading as his name falls from your lips. Any shred of dignity long forgotten and replaced with a desperate need only for him.

-He’d reassured you over and over again that you were the only one for him and he’d wait as long as he needed to.

-As of late, Katsuki was getting restless, tired of only fucking your throat or his fist.

-Don’t get me wrong, he’s had a fair amount of pussy (Unbeknownst to his pretty little omega)

-What more would you expect from such a good looking boy like him?

-He’d run through each of them, all reaching the same outcome; Fucking the girl dumb as he desperately pretended each one was you, leaving them sore and aching, watching him flush the condom as he went.

-With those wild oats sewn, he’d finally gotten around to confessing his feelings and asking to court you.

-You’d been overjoyed to accept.

-In the past; His mother and yours made sure to keep you two completely separate during his ruts.

-Now with you two residing in the school dorms, they weren’t capable of doing this anymore, now it had been your stupid friends.

-Unaware of it yet, lady luck smiled on Katsuki this Friday as school came to an end, a majority of your classmates were going out for a beach bonfire this weekend.

A fresh wave of irritation spread throughout him as he felt the last of the suppressants he’d swallowed this morning burning out of his system. Collecting his things he was intent on hurrying back to his room to lock himself in; He’d already decided which of the many cumshot videos (all featuring you of course 💦😜) to watch as his rut fully began. When suddenly you appeared in front of him, “Geez ‘Suki you were hard to catch up with!”. He gave you the most relaxed smile he could muster as he said “Or maybe you are just too damn slow, gotta speed up pretty girl”. You rolled your eyes and giggled at that.

Then the following conversation took place:

So you still plan on staying back this weekend right? Everyone’s taking off around ten, guess they’ll be gone till Sunday evening.

I already told you that dumbass, and I’m aware.

Well…I’m staying behind too, so….if you aren’t busy maybe we can-

Just come to my room princess, I’ll see you later though okay? I really need to head in

-He felt bad for leaving you hanging like that, but it was better than what would have happened if he didn’t. Besides, it would be better to jump your bones for the first time without an audience.

-You watched him run off, feeling more down then when you’d first approached him.

Originally, you planned on going with the rest of your class, but for the last two days you hadn’t felt right…Strange feelings were continuously coming and going all throughout your body and mind. At least Katsuki had agreed to spend time with you though, he always made you feel better. According to him that was his job as YOUR ALPHA. Bidding your classmates good bye and telling them to have a safe trip, you set off towards your dorm. Once inside; The two words echoed around repeatedly in your head, making your heart thump and your thighs clench.

It was an hour after that when you began not feeling quite right…not right at all ♨️

’a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.’

Everything around them felt wrong. It was not that they felt the world around them was fake, no. It did not feel like it was their world at all, familiar yet distant in the same space. There was a dull, grey tone that had been washed over the environment around them, however it left their own body free in its own vibrant colours. Turning their head to get a better look at their surroundings, they noted that every move made was slower than they were used to. The pace at which people walked, the speed cars were going, the fluttering of the pigeons dispersing from fear, it reminded them of a video being played at half speed. Their feet began to shuffle along the ground, there was something that was calling them to start moving away from their standing space. Tugging at their jacket in order to conceal their body further, their eyes darted from one object to another, trying to figure out where they were. How did they get there?

The young person’s pace picked up a bit as an unsettling feeling began to form in their stomach, being cautious as to not bump into anyone along the street. It was clear that they were in New York, that much could be gathered by the slew of taxi cabs, rushed members of the public, and idle conversations of the Daily Bugle’s last broadcast. As they approached the corner of the path, their next plan was to identify what part of New York they were in, a shred of hope shining through in their thoughts. Perhaps they were closer to home than they originally had thought, that was what they had wished for, at least. The idea of taking a nap to fix this probably came to mind, the idea making enough sense to deliver an extra sense of drive in their mission. Checking the direction of oncoming traffic, they hurriedly made their way across the street.

As their steps moved with a sense of urgency, their other senses began to grow numb. It was something that was not expected, and not an occurrence that had happened to them often. In the moment that they had begun to question it in thought however, a loud voice suddenly grabbed their attention.

“Watch out!”

・・・・☆・・・・☆ ・・・・☆・・・・☆・・・・☆ ・・・・☆・・・・

“... And that’s all I remember, next thing I knew, I was waking up,” they said, a tired strain coming through their voice. “Dunno what any of it means, either.”

“When did these dreams start again?” MJ spoke flatly, barely raising her eyes from her book. “Like, a couple weeks ago, right?”

“It was.. Not long after that incident happened? The one at the statue, since then it’s just been a long list of strange dreams with no meaning. And to top it off, someone always calls out to me, right as I wake up.”

“Maybe that’s your body trying to tell you to get up.”

“Maybe? But why is it always the same voice then?”

“Dunno, could it be your long lost sanity coming back to you?”

“Will you two quit your chatter and get back to work?! Michelle, put that damn book away, and help [Y/N] with the decorations. Christmas ain’t gonna decorate itself,” a rough, masculine voice broke up the conversation between the pair, earning a groan from MJ. Shutting her book, she glanced up at her co-worker.

“Do you need help, or?” She questioned, getting up from her seat.

“If you could take over for me, I’ll get started on switching the coffee over. Someone complained about it earlier but..” they sighed, slowly stepping themselves down off the ladder they were using. “I think their taste buds were just shoved in the wrong place.”

MJ attempted to keep herself from snickering, instead clearing her throat as she moved behind [Y/N]. Dusting off their uniform, they moved slowly behind the counter of the diner, avoiding the strange, sticky substance that the workers had collectively agreed to ignore. A running joke between those who frequented the diner was that no matter how hard someone would clean the spot, the stain had never let up. Not one to put more effort in their job than necessary, [Y/N] played favour into the idea. All that they knew was the colour of it turned darker as time moved on, the scent of it numbing to nothing. As they approached the coffee pot, their mind flickered back to the dream that had plagued them that previous night. It was beginning to grow into a problem with how vivid their dreams were becoming, what felt like reality trying to take a hold of their one escape from the environment around them. That was the part that had felt the most cruel to them, their escape method in the form of sleep was growing more tiring than life ever was. A small sigh escaped from their lips as their thoughts dragged onto a new idea, wondering how they would cope if these dreams kept up. How would it interfere with their day-to-day life when college would start, they wondered that most of all.

As their thoughts began to wander further, [Y/N] was interrupted by the chime of the entrance bell, signalling that a customer had likely entered the store. They cursed themselves under their breath, placing the unchanged coffee pot back where it had previously belonged. Turning their attention to the door, their eyes fell on a young man, standing with a bewildered look in his eyes. His hair was styled neatly, his clothing free from wrinkles and any trace of dirt. As they went to greet the customer, the young person’s eyes fell to someone who had walked in behind him.

“Oh, hey Ned! MJ is just over there if you wanna take a seat, I’ll be over in a sec,” they spoke with an extra bounce in their words, head gesturing toward where their friend was. Ned gave a nod in response, waving to MJ as he walked over in her direction.

[Y/N]’s smile faded a little, moving closer to the counter to gain the attention of the customer. Their brow furrowed, noticing a change in the man’s eyes, his look becoming more akin to fondness and reflection. They wondered to themselves if this customer had known their friends previously, or if he was an overly emotional man. Either seemed to be plausible, though. Clearing their throat, [Y/N] gained the young man’s attention toward themselves.

“Can I get you anything today? Or, did you need time to look at the menu a bit first?” They asked, patting down their pocket in order to find their notebook. Feeling their pocket being empty, they rolled their eyes, focusing their attention back onto the customer.

“M-my name’s Peter Parker and I..” he started to speak, his words catching as he began to look conflicted. [Y/N] could not recall the last time they had encountered a customer as odd as this one.

“.. would like a coffee.. please.”

So YouTube is celebrating 1 trillion views on Minecraft content or something like that, and they made like a playlist of some of the videos, and it’s all people like TommyInnit, DreamSMP, Pewdiepie (and others I’ve never even heard of), and while, yeah, in recent years they’ve had people watching Minecraft content, wHY do people constantly forget about the OGs like SkyDoesMinecraft, Deadlox, TrueMU, IHasCupquake, SetoSorcerer, BajanCanadian and the original MCYT community? Even fuckign Stampy and Yogscast aren’t on that playlist ffs!

SUre, Dream and Tommy and Pewds all repopularised Minecraft content in the last couple of years and I agree it should be recognised, but a large percentage of those views are nostalgia trips from people who grew up with the og MCYT and I’m genuinely upset that the hard work they put in for years yet again goes unnoticed. Sure, some of the are.... not great people, and I wouldn’t expect YouTube to promote, ya know, people on the sex offenders register, but not even a single Cupquake video is being put into the spotlight? No Stampy? No BajanCanadian who still plays Minecraft to this day and was part of Team Crafted for crying out loud?!

It just feels like the people that put Minecraft on the map, the reason that the game has 1 trillion YouTube views and is arguably the biggest sandbox game ever made are being forgotten in place of people who have only been playing for a short amount of time, and creators who aren’t even big in the MCYT community at all that haven’t made an impact (and also a certain creator who faked their speed run, and then lied and gaslit their fans about it when they got caught and still denies it because they’re a pos). I’m glad that YouTube are recognising the MCYT community, but to not pay homage to those who started it all, Team Crafted especially, feels extremely wrong. Those boys worked incredibly hard for so many years, they were a well oiled machine constantly pumping out content, they were the ones that made Minecraft what it is, no exceptions, and YouTube deciding not to credit all of that hard work.. maybe it’s because they were a huge part of my life growing up and shaped me into, well, me, but I really don’t like how the only old creator on that playlist is LDShadowlady (I’m not hating on her, I’m just saying she shouldn’t be the only old creator on that playlist). It’s feels wrong to not see the people that gave Minecraft its crown have absolutely no recognition at all /:

Yup it's that time again! Headcannon time. Bruce edition

Where I completely ignore the comics I've read in favor of imagining stories where DC actually allows its characters to be happy.

____________________________________________

Before Bruce tried and failed to cut Tim off of coffee as seen in my (Videos the Batkids posted that went Viral headcannon) Clark first tried it on him.

The whole thing started on the watchtower when Bruce actually broke a yellow coffee mug over Hal's head just because he took the last of the coffee. Hal was clutching his head in pain meanwhile Clark looked on at his boyfriend in horror.

"Bruce you're Addicted to coffee."

"No I'm not I can stop anytime I want I just choose not to."

Clark looked highly amused by that answer for some reason.

"You literally just used the line of every addict in denial. I bet you couldn't last a day without a cup."

And because Bruce was a sucker to prove people wrong he accepted the challenge. With the prize being that Clark would finally get rid of that God awful tacky brown suit with the elbow patches he got from the 2nd hand thrift store down town.

He made it 2 days with little problems before it all went down hill. Bruce was working a particularly rough case and ended up running off of a 10 minute nap, and it was at that moment he realized exactly what he had given up.

The events were as followed:

The Batkids all temporarily started to move to Jason's apartment just to avoid Bruce's wrath. Breaking the coffee machine because, "If I can't have any no one can," was the last straw. Tim a fellow not coffee addict who could stop anytime he wanted, almost started world war 3 because of it.

He told off a cocky executive who really was getting on his nerves by talking down to everyone. He may or may not have outed the man's secret affair with the secretary downstairs along with the fact that his thick luscious hair was a toupee.

When Luthor proposed a project for their companies at a gala, Bruce told him to fuck off and use the money to buy himself a hair transplant, loudly enough for the reporters to hear and get it on tape. It made the front page and he was trending on Twitter for 2 days straight afterwards. The gossip sites were playing it for weeks after. Not to mention the whole thing became a meme.

He was spiraling out of control and he wasn't even halfway through the bet yet.

A week into the bet was when things got extreme. It was in the middle of the quarterly League meeting where all of the senior league members met up for an update. Clark had come straight from teaming up on a scoop with Lois and must have stopped for that ridiculous cheap tasting road side coffee, because Bruce could smell it from all the way on the opposite side of the table and before he knew it he had grabbed Clark by the Cape and shoved his tongue down the man's throat for a taste of the same coffee he had been making fun of for years. Needless to say the 25 plus heros in attendance were stunned, especially because no one besides the original 7 and a few of the members related directly to Bruce and Clark like Kara, Connor etc knew Batman and Superman were dating.

Clark thought it was hilarious and if he made sure to show up smelling like coffee all the time it wasn't anyone's business, (*cough Hal cough Barry*) The fun stopped however when Bruce clad in full Batman regalia in the watch tower kitchen, was very clearly flirting with an all too interested and smug Green Arrow, for his half finished coffee and silence. Clark no longer found Bruce's desperation entertaining and almost blasted the archer with his laser eyes, before literally dragging Bruce out of the room.

Luckily the bet ended that very night when Alfred discovered Bruce literally perched on top of the refrigerator about to munch on single coffee bean which must have escaped the container at some point before it was hidden.

The picture remains on the fridge to this day and no matter how many times Bruce tries to get rid of them a fresh picture always reappears, by the next day.

Because Superbat is now my current Otp obsession.

Finally watched the new Justice League movie Zack Snyder's version, I was scared to watch it due to my disappointment in the first one, but I must say the movie was awesome. I especially love the changes in Flash's character. They really turned him from cute quirky filler character to the main character that saved the world. Loved the speed of force scene and the Injustice scene in the end gave me chills.

The only bad part was that the movie had several scenes for potential sequels, only for me to read that there would be none. Hope it changes. #restorethesnyderverse😭 plz.

萌声之约 {Adorable Voice Date}

Preview : “I challenged Kiro to create pet songs with the calls of Cello and Apple Box. Unexpectedly, the sound collection process was tortuous. What surprised me more was that the final solution to the storm was actually a new technique that Kiro had just learned....”

Part 1

MC : "8:03...great, everything is going just as planned!"

I looked away from the phone and quietly took out the spare key.

After watching the recently became popular pet video together last night, Kiro and I arranged to meet at 8:30 today with a challenge to make a similar video.

But on a whim, I decided to "observe" Kiro's preparations early.

The right time and place are now, it’s a good time to act.

I held my breath and turned the keyhole slowly. With a dull low noise, the door slowly opened.

Then, a ball of golden fur rushed towards me excitedly.

MC : "Apple Box, woah!"

I looked around nervously but Kiro didn't seem to be around.

----

I sighed in relief and walked towards the house steadily. Apple Box woofed happily and stuck to me.

At the same time, sounds of footsteps approached from far away.

Kiro : "MC? Is it you?"

I raised my eyes and saw Kiro rush out of the room quickly and he hugged me.

He still had earphones wrapped on his neck and his chest rose and fell with his breathing. And there was a long beep in my ears.

Kiro : "But--so evil--! Apple Box was actually one step ahead!"

Kiro : "If it was not for debugging the device just now, I would've been the first to hug MC!"

I suppressed my laugh and squeezed his face pretending to be serious."

MC : "It's me who should say "evil".

MC : "I originally wanted to come for a surprise inspection in advance but the surprise was leaked!"

Kiro sighed and sneered, a sweet smile almost overflowing from the corner of his curled eye.

Kiro : "No surprises, I can be checked at anytime."

As he spoke, he put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me to speed up to his room.

Kiro : "Reporting to Miss Chips! The equipment has been debugged, please review it!"

----

Stereo microphones, recorders and keyboards. The room is filled with various devices as far as an eye can see.

And the computer in the middle of the console was playing a video.

At first, there was a tabby cat meowing in the picture.

With the addition of drums, piano and other musical instruments, there were many small windows for musicians to accompany on the screen and the stars surrounded the yelling kitten in middle as if it was moon.

The original monotonous meow was gradually processed into a nice song during the process.

We stared at the computer intently. Before I knew it, my face got closer and closer to the screen.

MC : "It feels so different....."

Kiro : "It's actually not that complicated."

Kiro : "I have studied the principle of video last night. The key is to collect continuous calls with varying pitches."

Kiro : "By adding other instruments in sequence based on it, the beats and basic tunes will gradually take shape."

Kiro said rewinding the video to the part where the drum sound was first added and motioned me to listen carefully.

Kiro : "The melody of this song is repetitive. In other words, the actual amount of tasks is not really large."

Kiro : "We can try recording a simple short song first."

Kiro : I'll be in charge of guiding Cello and Apple Box and the post-production. And Miss Chips will be in charge for the radio!"

Kiro : "Now does the challenge sound more 'feasible'?"

Part 2

Having said that, it was still not that easy to successfully collect animals' sounds that meet the standards.

Kiro and I looked at Cello who was waxing in the litter box so we decided to start with Apple Box tacitly.

Kiro : "First, let's record a high pitched howl first. Apple Box, come here!"

Apple Box gave a cheerful bark and sat down in front of us.

I put forward stereo microphone near Apple Box's mouth and Kiro patiently guided it by his side.

Kiro : "Apple box, how do you greet when your companions say hello?"

Apple Box : "WOOF!"

Kiro : "Hmm...the voice needs to be higher. Think about it, what do you say when you ask for a snack?"

Apple Box : "WOOF!"

After several guidance, Kiro cleared his throat in frustration.

Kiro : "Still wrong. Listen carefully, it's the kind of long howl. ---Hey! Don't bite it!"

Kiro quickly grabbed the stereo microphone from the mouth of Apple Box and patted his chest with lingering fear.

Kiro : "Fortunately, it didn't swallow it. Apple Box, haven't you eaten enough in the morning?"

Apple Box let out few whines for unknown reasons and its tail swept back and hopped on my lap.

MC : "I guess Apple Box may not understand what we mean."

I scratched its chin and suddenly an inspiration hit me.

MC : "I remember that a canine usually responds with the same sound after hearing the howling of their companions."

Kiro : "Huh...So we can use this instinct and find a similar audio to guide Apple Box to howl!"

Kiro accepted my words in a tacit understanding and in the next, his fingers flew on the keyboard.

The files on the screen slid through and finally stopped on an audio file.

Kiro : "This material happens to be in my computer."

As soon as his voice fell, one howl after another sounded from the speaker.

The ears of Apple Box jerked up. It lifted its neck and subconsciously opened its mouth and let out a whimper.

Kiro took the opportunity to pick up the sound, he then put on the earphones and listened attentively, rubbing his slender fingers unconsciously on the earphones.

His brows frowned slightly that could make people unconsciously follow and hold their own breath.

Kiro : "The pitch is right and the background is quiet! We can use this."

Kiro took off the headset and made an OK gesture. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. And suddenly, I felt that the top of my hair was being rubbed by him. Rubbed vigorously like a cat.

Kiro : "MC, why do you look more nervous than Apple Box?"

MC : "Pff-- maybe a little."

MC : "Seeing you being serious, gradually I could no longer treat this recording just as a leisure activity."

Kiro took Cello from my arms, pinched its paw and waved at me.

Kiro : "Don't be stressed! We can do it one day."

Kiro : "And the habits of cats and dogs are similar. Maybe Cello is also suitable for this "similar guidance method."

Kiro : "ALRIGHT Come on, let's strike while the iron is hot and make a quick deal! I remember the audio of meowing. It....seems to be here!"

As Kiro talked, he clicked on another file.

But unlike the expected long and tactful meow, the sound of the cat's breath was actually released from the speaker.

Kiro : "Opps!"

Cello : "Meow!"

Kiro quickly turned off the audio but Cello was still taken aback letting out a roar and the hair on its body raised.

It jumped out violently, looking around for this mysterious "intruder". It ran all over the place, knocking thing over.

Kiro : "Careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, the shelf behind me almost collapsed but fortunately, Kiro held it with one hand in time.

It was just the ornaments above, the coffee cups and CDs that fell down due to inertia.

And Cello decisively avoided the interception in this gap, continued to flee across the house. All of a sudden, the bells on its neck was resounding in the room one after another.

It stopped a little after a few minutes, but his eyes remained alert.

------

MC : "Cello, come. Don't be afraid."

I gently called Cello's name, took the torn cat food strip from Kiro's hand and approached it cautiously.

Cello stepped back slightly defensively. Unable to resist the temptation of the food strip, it leaned in slightly again.

Kiro on the side seized the opportunity and fished it into his arms.

Cello : "Meow!"

Kiro : "I was wrong, Cello. Don't be angry."

Kiro skillfully stroked the back of Cello's neck and chin, softly soothing it. I put the cat food strip to its mouth trying to calm it down with delicacies.

Only this time, the methods that have always been effective seemed mediocre.

Although Cello's thump was smaller, its hair was still raised high and it rushed around in protest.

Seeing that, I couldn't help it and looked at kiro anxiously.

MC : "Cello...."

Kiro, starts letting out cat sounds : "....." [T/N : boy literally starts meowing and purring like a cat. i'll try to post the sound clip too if possible!]

A meow with slight purring suddenly sounded in the room and Cello's stiffed body paused slightly.

Kiro gave me a "hush" gesture to my surprised face.

Then he held his breath, blinked slowly and moved closer to Cello and continued to meow with purring.

After doing this several times, Cello's emotions actually calmed down a bit.

It shrank back into a small ball and buried its head in Kiro's arms.

Kiro : "Sigh..."

Kiro finally seemed relieved and his tight shoulders also slightly loosened down.

Seeing my surprised look, he winked at me triumphantly.

Kiro : "This is a new skill I have recently mastered---the cat language! But I'm not yet that proficient."

Kiro : "I wanted to show it to you after I had practiced but I didn't expect to be forced to reveal it to save the day today."

MC : "Cat language?"

I instantly remembered the cat whisperer video I shared with him a few days ago. After the slight recollection, my heart warmed up.

MC : "I just wanted you to watch the video and relax, I didn't expect you to learn it...."

MC : "With such an unpopular technique, you must have struggled to find the information, right?"

Kiro : "There was no problem! I bumped into Savin while doing my work. he said that he happened to have a cat language teaching book in his home, such a childish man."

Kiro : "Speaking of which, I should have that book put by the console...."

Kiro turned around and searched and finally pulled out a book with a strange cover from the mess and shook it at me triumphantly.

Kiro : "This is the book~ I had to hand over all the hidden snacks in exchange for it though."

Part 3

MC : "Skills of communicating with cats"?

I took the book curiously, turned to the folded pages and read aloud every word.

MC : "Felines can convey emotions through different sounds such as tremor, yelling and breathing."

MC : ".....The purpose of this book is to have direct emotional communication with cats by learning how to make meows of different tones...?"

I raised my voice.

MC : "How should I feel that you were fooled by Savin?"

Kiro : "I tried it and the content is reliable."

Kiro cleared his throat while speaking and let out a trembling meow.

Sure enough, Cello shook its ears violently.

Kiro : "When a cat finds a potential prey, it will make this excitement noise to communicate."

MC : "Could it be a coincidence? It feels not very different from the cat meow that I imitated."

I said while meowing and looking down at Cello.

But this time, it didn't respond and even the eyelids didn't seem to be lifted.

Kiro showed an expression that seemed to be saying "trust me now".

Kiro : "Although, it sounds similar to every meowing, the pronunciation is different."

Kiro : "Inadequate imitation will only sound like meaningless noises to them."

Kiro : "Does Miss Chips want to learn? Do you want me to teach you?"

MC : "Okay, then please teach me well, Teacher Zhou!"

As I spoke, I folded my hands together and looked at him expectantly.

MC : "Don't pee outside the litter box"...how do you say that in cat language? I have been wanting to say this to Cello for a long time!"

Kiro : "....Ahem ahem ahem, well, that is supposed to be in cat language's advanced lesson."

Kiro coughed and took the book from my hand. His eyes were erratic.

Kiro : "As a beginner, Miss Chips still has to go step by step and can't skip any lesson."

Kiro : "How about I teach you the few sentences of just now?"

I resisted the urge to sigh and laugh so I just nodded to Kiro. He straightened up immediately and began a serious demonstration.

Kiro, starts making cat noises and meows once again : "....."

The guttural voice with a slight purring like this is the tone of the cat conveying soothing emotions.

Following his voice, Cello raised his head and responded with the same purring meow.

MC : "Meow! Was that correct?"

I bowed my head excitedly but only saw Cello moving its butt.

MC : "......."

I adjusted my pronunciation a few more times but Cello was still lacking interest and I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

MC : "Strange...how can I not make a difference?"

Kiro : "Open your throat when you pronounce it and keep your throat a little lower."

MC : "So abstract...."

I sighed slightly distressed. the next second, my wrist was suddenly caught.

Kiro's knuckles brushed across the back of my hand, guiding me to gently place my fingertips on his Adam's apple.

MC : "!"

Kiro : "MC must feel the position of the breath and pronunciation carefully."

Kiro : "The grunting sound is produced by the vibration of breathing and does not require the use of vocal cords."

Kiro : "Feel it, there won't be any tremors here this time."

His Adam's apple undulate slightly with his breathing, warm and strong to the touch.

My fingertips curled up sensitively as if they were suddenly scalded.

Kiro : "Feel it?"

I nodded indiscriminately, my heart beating uncontrollably.

Kiro : "Then I will demonstrate another pronunciation for comparison. Be optimistic, okay."

Kiro rolled up the tip of his tongue as he spoke and let out a few squeaky meows.

The slight shock from his Adam's apple seemed to carry an electric current and it traveled quickly to my brain along the nerve endings.

The temperature felt by my fingertips seemed to be contagious so that the base of my ears became hot.

MC : "What does this call mean?"

I pretended to ask Kiro seriously so that I won't be found out but unexpectedly heard a chuckle.

He leaned over lazily, rubbing his forehead against my neck like a coquettish cat.

The soft hair brushed over my sensitive skin bringing an unnoticeable itch.

I contracted my neck subconsciously but he rubbed the back of my neck gently like a kitten.

Kiro : "If Cello makes this kind of noise to you, it's saying---"

He leaned close to my ear and he quietly whispered. The hot and humid air floated in my ears with the sound of his breath.

Kiro : "I-Like-You~"

Part 4

After Kiro finished speaking, he straightened up quickly.

He looked at the ends of my red ears with one hand on his chin, his eyes full of smiles.

Kiro : "Miss Chips really becomes shy easily and she looks cute whenever she does it."

MC, blushing angrily : "Kiro! You're not allowed to tease me like this in the future!"

I glared at him in embarrassment but he pulled my hand over and wrapped it in his palm.

He looked down at me and lowered his voice.

Kiro : "I didn't tease you, I was only expressing emotions to MC."

He watched me tenderly, his eyes like a clear sky reflecting the sunlight, pure and clear.

Kiro : "Sometimes, I feel that this habit thing is actually terrible."

Kiro : "It will make companionship and warmth become a matter of course without knowing it."

Kiro : "So getting along for a long time, many people will become neglected to express."

Kiro : "But I hope that no matter how long I have been with you, I will never express my feelings just because of habit."

Kiro said while solemnly hooking my finger into his.

Kiro : "I hope MC can know that even if some words are repeated tens and thousands of times, I will be as happy as I heard them for the first time."

Kiro : "So, what you're hiding in your heart--please tell me at any time!"

Cello : "Meow~"

Suddenly tactful meow came from below.

After being left out for a long time, Cello stretched out his paw and grabbed my clothes dissatisfiedly.

The unfinished words were interrupted by this sudden cry. Kiro and I looked at each other and laughed unanimously.

Kiro : "There is a little guy who can't wait for us to finish first."

Kiro : "How about it, do you want to try to communicate with Cello in the cat language you just learned?"

I nodded, bent over and hugged Cello to console.

With the approach of the stereo microphone, Cello seemed a little nervous again. I reached out to touch it at the right time, trying to make a cooing meow.

The imitation did not work at first. But I carefully recalled Kiro's pronunciation position and after several attempts, I finally made the correct call.

MC : "Meow--"

I lowered my voice and made a soothing low noise from my throat.

With the comfort Kiro and I, Cello gradually calmed down and was no longer so resistant to radio microphone.

Finally, it called back softly at me.

Although it is different from the expected long tone, this change was still unexpected.

Kiro got up and happily raised the stereo microphone at me.

Kiro : "Nailed it! Now adding the sounds of other instruments to turn this to synthesize the songs by Apple Box and Cello."

Kiro : "I will add the drums to determine the beat first!"

After speaking, he put on the earphones again, kicked his feet heavily on the floor and slid the chair back to the console again.

In the blink of an eye, he once again changed back to Kiro who was immersed in work.

The pulsating fluorescence of the screen glided across his eyes as if a meteor flashed by.

I curled my lips unconsciously.

MC : "Express your thoughts at any time...."

I thought about it and poked my head from behind the chair. The tip of his tongue was slightly curled and a soft, chirp meowing sounded behind his ear.

The earphones cut off the sound. Kiro didn't seem to hear anything and he was still working intensively.

Only Cello in his arms moved as if it wanted to respond to the meowing.

I hissed softly and buried my hot face in his soft arms.

In the quiet room, there are only the sound of wind blowing on the curtains and the sound of hostile keyboard machinery.

Everything seemed to be no different from the scene where Kiro was debugging the equipment alone before the knocking on the door.

Except for the corners of the boy's lips reflected on the screen, there was a smile that couldn't be hidden.

Synopsis: Corpse reveals your relationship to the world after chat hears the music from your tiktok in the background in his stream.

Warnings: no

A/n: Sorry for the short one, I've been really busy and had to rewrite it after it the original one shot got deleted just before I was able to finish it. Still hope you like it though! (also disclaimer: i have no idea how tiktok works so things may be a bit wrong!)

Masterlist

-------------------------------------------------------

Soft beeps came from your phone as a countdown showed on the screen, allowing you enough time to position in front of the device. As the music started playing your limbs moved on their own, automated movements from the amount of times you had rehearsed.

Usually you needed less time to figure out the dances for the latest trends on Tiktok, but something about this one was harder than the others.

When you'd look back on the video it would seem odd, it missed something and you couldn't quite place your finger on it.

It had become a growing irritation, and making the video required quite a bit of work.

The short video showcased multiple outfits you had put together, most of which now laid discarded on your bed on the other side of the room.

You considered going to your boyfriend, Corpse and ask for his opinion, but he was currently streaming and you didn't want to interrupt.

Besides that, your relationship had stayed private so far, and although you had talked together about announcing it to the public, it wasn't revealed just yet.

Neither of you wanted to be hasty about it, instead you waited for the right moment to reveal it. Although the two of you had agreed that it'd be ok to be less careful with everything.

If it happened, it happened.

Despite that however you were still reluctant to go to his recording room while he was in the middle of a stream. His voice was audible from where you stood although it was muffled by the walls.

Opening his stream to see what he was doing, you saw he was just talking to some friends, on a short break in between two games.

Deciding that if you were going to ask him, you may as well do it now, leaving the room as you walked to his recording room.

You knocked softly, most likely not even loud enough to get picked up by the microphone, but Corpse heard. Muting himself for his stream and in his discord call, he hummed for you to come in.

He could see the extra effort you had put into your outfit and appearance, and with your phone in your hand like this he already knew what was up before any words left your mouth.

Corpse had a good eye for the videos, being familiar with most trends as well, and could often easily point out what you felt was missing.

He greeted you with a small peck on your cheek, your hand gently running through his black curled hair once in return. It was something you knew he loved.

You showed him the video, and he was quick to point out your movement was only barely delayed at the beginning which made your movements slightly off beat.

Thankfully it was only in the last part of the clip, so it was easily rerecorded.

He invited you to stay with him in his recording room, your presence put him at ease and you had your own chair that stood beside his own at his desk.

You promised you'd return to his side after finishing the clip and putting it online.

It took barely five minutes for you to finish, now satisfied with the result, and putting it online.

Now you sat by his side at his desk once more, using one leg to spin the chair side to side, your non dominant hand tracing mindless patterns on Corpse's arm as you scrolled through Tiktok, occasionally saving video's to recreate in the future.

You hadn't bothered bringing earplugs, so you had set the sound of your phone to its lowest, watching as silently the notifications of your new upload rolled in.

The microphone however picked up the soft noise coming from your phone, making Corpse's friends ask what they were hearing as his chat easily recognized the popular tunes.

A small chuckle left his lips as he spoke up, revealing your presence beside him and your relationship to the world, "Y/n, some of you may know them from Tiktok, is actually sitting beside me now."

You perked up, not having heard the questions but a simple look at his chat that scrolled by on a second screen had said enough. Corpse pulled you closer, one arm wrapping around your waist and pulling you gently closer to the mic.

"We've been dating for about half a year now." he continued with a sly smile on his face as he looked at your confused but surprised expression.

The chat went past at lightning speed, his friends congratulating him through discord, genuinely happy he had found someone for him.

His hand pushed your hair out of your face, the smile on his face forming into a smirk as he met your eyes, leaning closer to his mic in the process.

"Hey chat, you know this means you not allowed to skimp for them anymore, alright?"

He chuckled as he saw your face grow red at his words, pressing his lips against your cheek once more as you returned the gesture.

tuesday again 3/15/22

huh my original fun little quip got eaten. whatever. come for a turn about the garden with me as opposed to our leisurely long ramble

listening the Franz Ferdinand song The Fallen off the album You Could Have It So Much Better.

LOVE a jaunty rollicking hook. LOVE some stupid little bible puns. no real chorus in this one but some fun phrases to shout in a car while you’re doing an inadvisable speed down a turnpike

Did I see you in a limousine Flinging out the fish and the unleavened 

and i have had to Really Think about how to pronounced “unleavened” ever since. does NOT rhyme with “limousine” in the common vernacular

oh right how did i find this: i went to high school from 2010-2013 okay this band was unavoidable, popped up in my sp*tify releases bc they rereleased it. think i originally originally discovered it from a CD at the library, specifically (sigh) the tim burton take on alice in wonderland’s soundtrack, they did a song about the lobster quadrille iirc? as was my wont, i promptly ripped that cd to my ipod touch and then went back and looked up more albums of the artists i particularly liked. and here we are today.

reading lobdell and rocafort’s red hood and the outlaws. i am part way through the third collected volume out of seven or eight, bc batman comics reliably turn my brain off at night. not that they make me sleepy, but i’m just invested enough in them to want to read them but also be able to put them down at random. if that makes sense.

the art in this thing is pretty great. very bad chronic case of tits and ass (not even equal opportunity tits and ass, which is a shame), but the linework is crisp as hell. i don’t really remember how i came across this, it’s been on my list for a while but got bumped up to the top bc i cannot yet pirate a good quality cam of The Battinson.

watching just as fnv is baby’s first leftist video game, i feel like ds9 is baby’s first leftist tv series? even tho sisko is not Not a cop? anyway i am fully “wow cool space station!” about this show (did i make that joke last week? i don’t care). i’m on s2e5 and bashir is. bashir is trying. he’s in his first job out of med school and he’s twenty eight and an idiot. he is slightly more of an idiot that me, who is twenty seven and in her first job postgrad.

also watching killing eve and losing my whole fucking mind but what else is new??? ep 1 has been out for a full month so i do not feel these are spoilers: did not super care for s2 and s3 but watching eve slowly become more and more and more like carolyn is delicious. also love her progression of bond girls and boys. love a bisexual disaster who goes “this is what i want and i’m doing it” with no real thought to if the thing she wants Is Actually the thing she wants. DELICIOUS you’re doing amazing eve

also the fact that villanelle did a born again christian thing to try to persuade eve she’s a good person? even is not religious why would that convince her??? did villanelle literally google “how to be a good person” and show up at the nearest church??? what a delightful mental image

these two shows could not be more different and i am having an outsized reaction to them this week bc i’m playtesting a bunch of really insipid stuff for work and it’s nice to be like! oh! these are grownup shows for grownups with lots of conflict and gray areas!!!! good for my brain!

playing love on the peacock express, the mystery train milf dating sim. love trains, love milfs. content specifically for me. it took me about one lunch hour to play through four endings, so i assume for people with a normal reading speed who don’t habitually skim it’s more like a three-hour dealio.

this is a light romance with some incidental mystery instead of a mystery-solving visual novel, which i do not think the itch.io page is great at conveying. you do get handed the mystery as you go along, but it’s a solid little visual novel with all the quality of life tweaks one expects from a much larger team. i admire this game’s commitment to not giving you icon customization. you’re a private investigator, that’s what you look like, deal with it. all the ladies’ routes are fun (i liked the butch’s route best bc i am a simple woman, there are platonic and romantic endings) and the bonus hidden route dipped the most into the private investigator schtick i think. pwyw on itch.

how did i find this?: a tumblr post from the devs i can no longer find :(

also i am obliged to point out the ukraine game bundle with some big fuckin names (celeste! fatum betula! wandersong! baba is you! the sword lesbian ttrpg!) and note that some of these folks are my dayjob clients but i cannot tell you which ones

making i made some more curtains but i’m unhappy with them. did finish the kitchen ones tho and attached all the fucking pom pom trim and AM happy with that set. also put up a knife strip but that’s not very photogenic. once i figure out how much the next round of doctor’s appointments is going to cost, my next unwise kitchen purchase will be whetstones.

#tuesday again #tuesday again no problem #i want to go to bed so you all get this a little early #if it were not daylight savings time it would be on time #Youtube
