Weekly Jungkook Fanfic Recs:

Some fine JK fics for your reading pleasure. Please show your appreciation to all the wonderful authors :)

Lone Blue Egg: Jungkook is a simple man. He goes to work, he hangs out with friends, he worries about finding a mate to take home for his hometown breeding season. Maybe he spends a little more money on cam girls than is fiscally responsible but he has niche tastes. Maybe he feels a bit adrift, but he's a young penguin hybrid, supposedly in his prime, far from his crèche. https://archiveofourown.org/works/35424625/chapters/88299640 A Sea Of Indigo: Pitbull Hybrid Jungkook has finally been freed from the fighting rings, and now finds himself at Marigold Sanctuary & Transition Estate, a place for healing and self-discovery for rescued hybrids. It's stupid, dumb, cheesy, and hell-bent on helping Jungkook "heal" and "find himself" and "decide the course of his life." And right at the center of it is Y/N, a nurse who's got everyone bamboozled that she's like some awesome person. She's not that great. Jungkook hates it here. https://archiveofourown.org/works/25881670/chapters/62890984 Sugar Fairy: Bunny Hybrid Jungkook is at that age... he needs a mate, and it's making life miserable for everyone in the family. The obvious solution is to bring home a girl. The obvious problem is that while it's love at first sight for Pippa when he walks into the adoption tent, Jungkook is far more into the sexy cat to her right. Will there ever be peace in the family again? https://archiveofourown.org/works/25882588/chapters/62893486 The Lowlander: Out of the frying pan and into the fire: Marguerite is already used to life as a barely-tolerated outcast, being the elven daughter of an Orlesian noble, but after her travel party is attacked, she goes from one hostage situation to the next. Sure, her new "man" is brave and handsome and one of the best warriors in the Hold, but he's also hard-headed, impatient, and expects her to be the perfect Avvar woman. She refuses. She will not lose herself in this place. Anyway, she only has to endure him until she can figure out how to make her escape, or face an even worse evil at the end of a month... https://archiveofourown.org/works/27747925/chapters/67919119 Meadow: Despite being arranged two decades ago, the start of Bronwen and Jungkook's marriage is a difficult one. Misunderstanding, resentment, and a struggle to control unfamiliar instincts threaten to mire them both in a miserable, unhealthy situation. Before they can even begin to reconcile their new intertwined fate, though, Bronwen begins to suspect there's something else holding them back: a lie that threatens everything she's been raised to believe. https://archiveofourown.org/works/27241096/chapters/66545848 Tell Me What Changed: Alex and Jungkook have been best friends since childhood --actual best friends. She is NOT in love with him, for real, and wishes people would stop assuming that. Why does no one question if he's in love with her? Huh? But it might have to do with his successful fuckboy status, while Alex is very much... not that. Which is fine and doesn't matter! Until Jimin's impending wedding leaves her eager for a date and willing to put herself out there, and Jungkook can't believe what happens next. https://archiveofourown.org/works/38661003/chapters/96652572 Amended: Getting into a bar fight is the least surprising part of Isabella's return home. She sure doesn't expect to run into her childhood friend turned high school enemy, now not just surprisingly a law-abiding citizen but a police officer. Things seem to be going great for him, but Isabella is struggling with more than a bar fight. A single mom with a sick grandmother, an alcoholic mother, an abusive ex, and a short fuse herself, matters are not helped that Jungkook seems to be everywhere. All the time. Especially every time Isabella messes up. Can she really believe him when he says he just wants to help? https://archiveofourown.org/works/27238486/chapters/66539191 Wintervale: Jungkook proves his allegiance to the throne of your kingdom.

NieR Reincarnation The People and the World Amber Spoiler Post & Theory Hour

Mama on Mama on Mama on Mama in this one. And I'm going to look a little bit too deep into that. Far too deep actually.

What can I say. They did a good job with the shitty gacha game. I'm so sorry, but I am once again validated in my opinion that this is the best NieR writing right behind YoRHa:Dark Apocalypse. It's just. Chef's Kiss.

And sure, I still prefer Sun/Moon over People/World as a story since that one just managed to weave the themes so well with the stories and everything whereas this one has certain moments where it doesn't really line up with stuff it has already established (some/many of the stories kind of seem to disregard parts of their hidden/ex stories which feels weird, also where are hina and yuzuki in all of this as rogue cage wanderers, i have a feeling they're not going to address them at all (which imo would be fine but kind of disappointing)), but we're finally getting the lore payoff we know to expect from Drakenier and it feels so good.

And you know, I did notice that all the seasons so far were in two distinct parts that lined up with their name - and as this was obviously the The People part I was wondering before playing this morning what the The World part would be about. But it didn't even occur to me that we could be going to the "Real World"... (Put a Pin in that)

But let's get into it.

Mama meets Accord (who I'm sure somebody has called mommy before)

I mean at this point we know she's coming - we just don't know when and how. I do wonder if these more and more overt mentions of her might be setup for the next NieR/DoD4 because I feel like Accord as a character would be prime real estate for the new big game, but of course it would also make perfect sense for her to show up here, she already has an established presence in the Cage - and I mean she could just do both!

It's interesting to note btw that the coffer that Yudil's story explicitly points out has recently appeared in the most recent Bakuken stage play (the one that's called Finale even though it's not the final one) where a portuguese merchant (The Cathedral City is on the Iberian Peninsula) called Michael (you know, like the Dragon) had it. Of course, they might also just have reused the prop since they made one for the YoRHa stage play Accord appeared in...

Mama meets Mother

She's giving Mother and she's back with a vengeance rhythm game. Amazing. Tens across the board. I love her fascinator head piece.

As the Mother Expert that I call myself I have to point out some things here:

a) What exactly is Mother Mourning? The Watchers have up until now only been described as motivated by a fervent hate of Humanity and anger - the Gods want to claw themselves free of their humanity-imposed seals and devour the world - so why is this version explicitly shown as sad? Her battle dialogue also kind of sounds... betrayed in a way? "Why Protect People? Destroy" and "Our objective. Why?" seem to hint that maybe Mama (points right at the name) was in with Mother this whole time but has now turned against her. And it makes me wonder if the Cage is a way for humanity to enslave the gods they sealed for profit...

But also, given recent Developments in SinoAlice JP's Ending Arc, there's likely something else in the Cage that the Mourning Mother could be talking to. Maybe the thing we saw in that one cutscene is actually protecting humanity?

b) With some of that already in mind I was thinking about her pose and was trying to find some connection to the dance of her Intoner version in the DoD3 Final Boss when it occured to me in a one-two punch: She's shackled. The Cage is for Her. She's what is Caged. And doesn't that sound like a seal that keeps a certain Round Egg at bay that I have an exciting theory for-

Tangent: Mama meets my Round Egg Theory

okay so strap in because it's time to bring up the thing I bring up every chance I get!

We know there's a connection between the Memory Tree and the Moon Server Data through two things:

a) In the Replicant Remaster's new Ending Kainé goes into the Memory Tree's Data to bring Nier back - which of course means that the Memory Tree contains Nier's data. This is important because

b) In YoRHa:Dark Apocalypse (My Love <3) the Red Girls have a Seed (we'll get back to that in a second) - and out of that Seed grows a Tower that contains "Ego Collectives" of People, which is basically the collection of memories that makes up one person.

Now I know that everyone just handwaved that away as a way to have cheap Replicant references as the first two bosses with the Remaster coming up but lol wouldn't that be easy, did you forget who you're dealing with? Because the exact two bosses used (Knave of Hearts and Hänsel and Gretel) means there's only one person this Ego Collective could belong to: Nier, because only he fought Hänsel and Gretel. (let's ignore that Weiss was there too bc that would be a dumb!!! this is much more fun bc of the implications!!!)

And I'm positive that this was intentional because in the remaster ending - in a scene that's eerily similar to the fight in Tower at Paradigm's Breach - Kainé only fights her memory of Gretel without Hänsel, so they knew.

Why does that matter? It doesn't really, I just wanted to bring it up as a little fun fact, but what does matter is that Y:DA establishes that whatever that Seed the Red Girls have recreated is, it also contains all the memories from the Memory Tree, because that's where those memories were recorded. And they were recreating it, which implies there was a basis to recreate. And that was always the big future overarching NieR plot thread that Y:DA left me with - sure, we know this is where it all ends, the Watchers are over now and this time forever through collaboration and power of friendship - but how did we even get here? How did the Red Girls get a Seed to recreate?

And now it fits right in with what's happening, especially now that we know what exactly the Moon Server can do:

The Moon Server/The Cage can peer into different universes - we know that since at least Hina and Yuzuki (Yuzuki knows Reinkane exists as a game but also their EX stories) - but as far as we know the Seeds only exist in Drakengard's Universe. So why do the Red Girls/The Watchers/The Mourning Mother want to get into the Moon Server/Cage so Bad? (It was even sort of highlighted in the Automata Anime where Adam transformed into a giant Reincarnation Mob - implying really hard that the Red Girls/Logic Virus is indeed behind the attacks on the Cage) Well, maybe it's because they want the Round Egg, because they have been separated ever since DoD1's Final Boss and they need it to Dark Apocalypse.

Before this chapter I thought that the entire Memory Tree might have been built from Seeds in the first place and that's why the Red Girls want into the Moon Server to get a basis to copy - I thought it would make sense that humanity somehow got that dimension-crossing technology needed for it out of a Seed - but that would require the NieR world to have Seeds to use for that and we know next to nothing about them so I just kept it in the back of my mind until something else comes along to strengthen it. I also didn't want to base too much on the cross-over one, even if I personally really don't understand why people are so hesitant to call it canon, it's definitely canon, it's one of the few things Yoko Taro is directly credited to have written the past few years and he literally always writes stuff that right away retcons things, so even if it changes details with Automata he has done the exact same thing multiple times now. ("It's not DoD3's Ending A that leads to DoD1, it's the version of Ending A in this specific novella that's basically the same except for one small thing.")

But you know what other tangentially related thing I can bring up that you won't believe I will stuff into this theory? Why yes, It's Yuki Wada's Breakout Hit Voice of Cards: Forsaken Maiden. And fair warning, this is where it gets entirely unfounded. And also spoilers for that game's ending.

I have the long and well-documented theory that the Spirits from VoC:FM might be the Watchers. In that game Maidens need to sacrifice themselves to the Gods so they 'keep humanity save' in return - but it ends with Laty (the female MC) going into an eternal slumber to sort of 'trap' the gods in her everlasting dream so humanity is save without them. And because I always found that very reminiscent of Drakengard 1's Goddesses I theorized that VoC:FM might have been the folkloric 'inception story' of that system, humanity just reiterated on the mechanics of it so it's spread over multiple people instead of one so nobody has to go to sleep forever.

So with that as an foundational thought, what if humanity did that again? What if they extended it again on more people so fewer people have the sort of responsibility Laty or Furiae had? What if they didn't only extend it to a finite number of people - what if they extended it to every human in every dimension that ever experienced any form of prolonged misery (or whatever else the requirements are to end up in the cage lol)

So what if the Cage is the Seal? What if keeping the Seeds locked up is the purpose of the Cage? What if the Cage is a Cage?

And if the Cage is just NieR's Goddess Seals then the Watchers have a really good reason to get in there: The exact same reason as in Drakengard 1.

But I'm not done. Because what if Mama didn't know that. What if Mama just knew there's a server on the moon and basically every single person ever is trapped in it, eternally doomed to relive the most horrible pain and suffering imaginable for some reason - and some figure, a mother figure if you will, told her she could fix their suffering. That she could change the system for the better by giving them hope and respite by giving them an afterlife. But that was a lie. The figure just wanted her to weaken the system built on sin and suffering so she could break through it and reach the Seeds.

What if Mama (points at the name) realised she was tricked by Mother and is now trying to fix her mistakes? And that's why Mother is Mourning, because she betrayed her?

Don't think so. Mama didn't seem all that "remorseful". But maybe something along those lines though.

Depending on SinoAlice JP's ending whatever other being the Library turns out to be might also be involved - maybe the Library is a god that turned away from the Watchers to help humanity and the Cage is instead a way to protect the being that is the Library which in turn protects humanity... That would be a full circle moment to VoC:FM too...

Either way I'm so stoked to find out what's really happening!!!

Mama meets Mama in the Real World

Already talked alot about Mama, but let's just all applaud ourselves for reading the room! We did it! We knew!

Just as theorized she was 10H all along! Probably should go reread her story to see if it still lines up with what I theorized above... And she's pretty. And has almost the same haircut as Hina and Marie. Hmm. Maybe they should have chosen one of the other Marie designs.

(Small correction: I read that last scene wrong, seems like Mama isn't 10H but Pod 006 - but since the character we're getting is 10H I'll still say we were right :3 ...and yeah, we do control the pod in that scene, makes sense, don't know why I went straight to Mama has to be 10H)

What I'm actually more interested in though is where we're going with this. Like what can she even do in the "Real World", doesn't 10H die constantly in her story for disobedience? So she can't be allowed to do all of this, right? I do think a "We rebuild the Cage on Hopes and Dreams" is in order, but the way to get there... ah! Look, it's the Pin I made you keep in mind!

What if they don't go to that Real World. What if they go to our Real World? Hina & Yuzuki - who came from our or at least another Real World - are notably absent from this arc. And that could just be because the true ending being optional makes things harder for the devs to write around and they want the spotlight off of them bc they were the main characters, but still: I would love a chapter or even just a scene of their perspective of what happens to the Cage. I mean what happens to them now that the Cage falls apart? Could Dark Mama and Papa save them just like Mama did with the others? Do we maybe even meet Dark Mama's and Papa's real forms?

But there's another character that immediately comes to my mind when we talk about "the Real World". And it's because of a throwaway line that I never see anybody bring up... mainly because nobody likes Y:DA.

In her final letter to Konogg, Anogg explains that at some point she visited another world (likely when she fell into the Pseudo-Seed) and in doing so she learned that both her and the world are constructs - which implies she knows that a Real World exists from which this world was created. And sure, that could have been a meta-joke about haha video game. But her constructed self also displays several similarities to moments in Noelle's Chapter - which came out vaguely around the same time - and now all of this lines up with what's happening in the Cage. So yeah. What if the ending scene is her emerging from the Cage to save Konogg just like these characters have done this entire arc? All I have to say is #AnoggForReincarnation. She would be perfect. Do it.

The think about asking about the things you want to talk, is that they’re the things I want to know about. Same brainworms. Nerd to nerd communication. Speaking of, my last fixation was fading right as I started thinking about this AU, so guess what took its place in prime brain real estate. I have so many thoughts about your AU, it brings me great joy.

But first, there’s only one “how to become emperor for dummies” left, considering you’ve already covered xornoth and shrub pretty neatly in other posts.

So. How does one become the lost emperor? And also why did Joey decide to rejoin the rest of the world? (It’s funny that this is last one we learn about actually, considering the lost empire’s whole situation)

It took me so long to answer this mostly because I wanted to keep this ask in my inbox to make dolphin noises over for a bit longer XD

The nerd to nerd communication be strong.

Hopefully this is a satisfying hyperfixation for you while it lasts! Especially with the non-zero chance of fic before the end of the month!

(Ironically, my plans for Shrub have changed quite a bit since the original concepts for this au...but that would be telling :) )

As for Joey and The Lost Empire...

standard copy+paste

Also a general note relevant to the succession criteria of the majority of the empires. Remember this whole thing, where Pix kind of accidentally changed the formal definition of war in the empires? That had a lot of implications for how royalty functioned in the Empires. While they still absolutely have internal duties and responsibilities and privileges, ultimately their most important job is that they stand ready to defend their empire and its people at all times. Part of this is that they also function as international ambassadors in a way, while most empires also have official ambassadors, the relationships and interactions between the emperors themselves are a very important (sometimes volatile) facet of international relations. A country cannot be recognized internationally as an autonomous nation without an official Emperor/Head of State.

The Lost Empire has been isolated, within magically established borders, since The Plot Things I keep referencing vaguely.

So they don't operate with the "modern" rules. They are a bloodline monarchy, but they have two bloodlines.

Most of the population of the Lost Empire are hybrids, and both of the royal families are hybrid. One avian and one feline. They alternate who is active ruler, with an avian taking the throne after a feline and vice versa.

(assassination between the families is prevented by the simple method of "if the ruler gets assassinated then all members of both families are executed and two new families will be chosen to take their place." It's brutal but fairly effective.)

So yes, Joey was raised in the fire temple with the intent of inheriting the throne. And then he did. And a couple of years later he took down the border and made the first ventures into the outside world (and raided Fwip's kitchen in the process.)

His reasons were mostly just that he wanted to and he had the means. There's more to it, but he is going to get a fic so I'll leave some things for that. XD

IBO reference notes on . . . Kudelia's decisions

Right then. This essay was prompted by various criticisms of Iron-Blooded Orphans that bug me purely by being centred on what I find one of the most interesting things the show does. Obviously, other interpretations are available, but this is where I settled after watching. As usual, spoilers (mainly Season 1, some Season 2 and final ending stuff).

Kudelia Aina Bernstein is the daughter of the governor of the Chryse region of Mars, a colony operated by the Arbrau political bloc (a merger of Canada and Russia, yes really). Like all Martian colonies, Chryse is suffering from neglect and abuse by its parent state, leading to poverty, violence and general misery for its inhabitants. Being a decent sort (thanks in large part to straying beyond the confines of her parents' estate and seeing the real Mars for herself), Kudelia sets out to right this wrong by persuading Arbrau to deregulate the sale of 'half-metal', Chryse's main export, thus bringing more income to the region that will – hopefully – raise everyone's quality of life.

There are a few things to note from the get-go. First, 'deregulate exports' is not exactly the stuff of revolutions. Kudelia is shown addressing an assembly of people who want Mars to be free (or at least freer) of Earth's rule, but she doesn't advocate for openly fighting the central authority. She just wants to negotiate for better conditions. Luckily for her, Prime Minister Makanai of Arbrau is inclined to listen, so it's an aim that appears within reach, if she can hold a meeting with him.

Second, we quickly learn the Martian independence movement in general and Kudelia in particular have some wealthy backers. Enter Nobliss Gordon, a businessman who has been generous to the cause. Now Nobliss is perhaps the most obviously evil-coded character you could imagine, which tracks perfectly with the later revelation he's an arms-dealer. And this immediately raises important questions about what kind of people are calling for independence. Think again about Kudelia's goal here: deregulation of half-metal exports will first and foremost help the people who own the mining business, with any benefit to the average Chryse citizen depending on trickle-down economics (pause for laughter). Those who stand to gain most immediately are those who already own the means of production: those in Nobliss' class – and, importantly, in Kudelia's.

I don't mean to imply any insincerity on Kudelia's part. She genuinely wants to see the lives of Chryse's citizens improved. It's an honest motive that only grows stronger the more she learns what it's actually like for those people on a day-to-day basis. But by dint of who she is in her society, she seems predisposed to look for solutions among those who already hold influence, and there's a degree to which she isn't wrong to do so. Men like Nobliss are the movers and shakers of Mars and do have the connections necessary to organise a meeting with their counterparts on Earth. If she can use those connections to influence the levers of power, she might be able to make things better.

The problem is, Nobliss just wants to stir up enough chaos that his customer base will expand with people desperate to buy new weapons. To this end, he intends to make Kudelia a martyr, setting her up to be killed by Gjallarhorn, the Martian branch of which he has in his pocket.

See that's the thing about Nobliss at the start of the show: he already has influence over the levers of power. He simply doesn't use them to make things better for anyone except himself.

It takes Kudelia a while to twig this is the case. Blame for the initial murder attempt can be squarely placed at the feet of her father, a craven toady who sells her out to save his own neck. Nobliss' involvement is hidden and she approaches him in good faith as a to get the money necessary to employ Tekkadan to escort her to Earth. He obliges, having been disappointed in Gjallarhorn's ability to do their job and now seeing further opportunities in using Kudelia to stir the pot.

This leads to the Dort Colonies and that bit where Kudelia gets a fleet to back down with only her words.

Except – no. Not really.

Let's take it from the top. The workers on the Dort Company-run space colonies are desperate for better conditions and on the verge of open revolt. Nobliss is funnelling guns and mobile workers to them via Teiwaz and Tekkadan. The leaders of the workers unions, fearing what more radical elements among their number might do, organise a march on Company headquarters to make their demands heard. Gjallarhorn, however, are aware of the colonists' intentions and set up a pretext for wiping them out. The whole situation is a colossal trap.

Into this walks Kudelia, who Nobliss has been bigging up as 'the Maiden of Revolution', fighting for the rights of people in Mars-sphere. It is vital to keep in mind he is the one who comes up with this moniker, not Kudelia herself. Sure, Kudelia takes inspiration from that one history book, but she did not set out to lead some grand-scale uprising. Again, her plan is to go to Earth and hold polite discussions with Arbrau to get better export deals. That's it.

By this point, however, she's starting to understand what she's up against. Quite apart from nearly being murdered by Gjallarhorn, her interactions with Teiwaz have demonstrated that other people want to take advantage of what she's doing. Indeed, in order to get the necessary support to reach Earth, she has to bargain away half-metal mining rights to Teiwaz.

Dwell on that for a minute. Her whole aim is to use money from the mining to improve things in Chryse, and now she's given a cut of it to the Jupiter mafia, just for the chance of making that work. Gjallarhorn has too much invested in their role as the colonial police force to ever willingly let Chryse gain independence. They will do anything to stop Kudelia and they're way too powerful for a lone idealist and a bunch of child soldiers to tackle alone.

So Kudelia choses not to be idealistic. She choses to be pragmatic, in the name of the end result.

But of course, nobody hearing rumours about the Maiden of Revolution has any idea this is the case. To them, she's a symbol of hope, heralding hope of change, and they greet her and Tekkadan (the 'heroic band of knights' escorting her) accordingly. Buoyed by their presence – and, more importantly, the guns they've unwittingly delivered – the workers head to Company HQ, where Gjallarhorn is poised to crush them in one fell swoop.

Kudelia is basically a bystander up to that point. She has no idea it's even happening until she stumbles on to the march while chasing after her maid, Fumitan Admoss, who she's just found out is in the employ of Nobliss. This is revealed by series arch-demi-villain/anti-protagonist McGillis in an effort to prevent Kudelia's death and so use her later. But Kudelia, being far more good of heart than him, wants to know the full story from Fumitan and pursues her through the colony, getting mixed up with the union people right as Gjallarhorn opens fire.

What is supposed to happen here, per Nobliss' scheme, is that Kudelia dies publicly in the course of the violence. See above re: inciting sales. But Kudelia survives, first due to the union workers protecting her, then to Fumitan taking a sniper's bullet for her – because all else aside, Kudelia is a kind, charismatic person who manages to get the people on side more often than not. With their supposed ally having prevented Kudelia's assassination, Nobliss' men pull out, marking the failure of his plan.

While this is happening, Nobliss himself receives a personal call from McMurdo Barriston, head of Teiwaz, who not-so subtly warns him off trying to kill Kudelia. Teiwaz stands to wins substantial profits if Kudelia's mission succeeds and they are the big dogs in the outer-spheres, so get with the programme. This warning comes too late to stop events already in motion, but it does neutralise Nobliss for the foreseeable future.

Shortly thereafter, he receives another call, this time from Kudelia, very much alive and in need of his assistance. You see, the massacre in the colony has led to a full-blown rebellion, with Gjallarhorn's sabotage meaning the colonists are being slaughtered by the forces deployed against them. It's a blood-bath, and Kudelia and Tekkadan are caught right in the middle of it.

Luckily. Kudelia has a plan.

We never hear what she says to Nobliss to convince him to help. However, I think it's reasonable to assume that her final illusions about him have shattered and she has put enough of the pieces together to know he set her up, big time. On the other hand, she also knows she currently has Teiwaz's support and her death would inconvenience them. My personal read is that she leverages this fact mercilessly – if politely – and requests Nobliss kindly give her a hand out of the mess he's dropped her into.

Impressed by her sheer guts, Nobliss obliges, pulling strings to get her a broadcast channel provided by the African Union – the very power bloc for whom the Dort Company operates the colonies.

Here is where Kudelia gives her speech, standing up in front of the world to decry the injustices being perpetrated before her. She castigates Gjallarhorn for their butchery and dares them to shoot her down on live TV (much to Tekkadan's collective WTF).

It is important to note (and I swear I'll stop saying that now) that even here, Gjallarhorn aren't the ones who back off. The commander of the operation is fully in 'jam the transmission, kill the lot of them' mode to the very end. But ultimately, the African Union themselves say – no. Stand down. Presumably because somebody who owed Nobliss a favour just let Kudelia put an enormous hole possible in the media narrative they were constructing around what was happening and those in charge, quite reasonably, panicked.

(If IBO offers one main lesson about big institutions, it's that they're full of factions working against one another.)

So yes. Kudelia gives a speech and the killing stops. Eventually, this leads to a negotiated settlement to give the workers more rights. Again, the show doesn't dwell on the details but I think 'the police quit halfway through six city's worth of riots' fairly neatly explains how the Company got brought to the table afterwards.

If Kudelia hadn't stood in front of the guns, things likely would have ended much more miserably. But like I said, there's far more to it than what she actually says. Kudelia leverages her connections to Nobliss, who leverages his connections to the African Union while himself being pressured by Teiwaz, who have bought Kudelia for their own interests, who is now fully conscious of this rats-nest of venal motives she's caught in. Mikazuki might come away deeply enamoured by Kudelia's ability to influence the world with just her voice, but we know it's not that simple. The things that allow the speech to take place and the reasons it has the required effect are laid out, bit by bit, to demonstrate this is a world where it's not what you say but who you have on your side at the time.

This informs everything that comes next. When Kudelia and Tekkadan finally reach Earth to discover Makanai has been ousted as Prime Minister, they are left with no choice except to get him his job back. He is the lynchpin of Kudelia's plan, so she sets about making more deals and getting him to Arbrau's capital in Edmonton for a key election. Which means cosying up to McGillis and his dumb mask, because he holds power on Earth she lacks. More compromises, more trading the future for an advantage in the present.

The election is the other Big Speech moment for the season and this receives somewhat less step-by-step justification. Partly, I think, because the point has already been demonstrated, so we can make do with brief glimpses of Makanai's allies laying the groundwork for his comeback while the show concentrates on the martial drama of Tekkadan battling through Gjallarhorn's defence perimeter. We're shown enough to reasonably conclude Makanai retained strong support in Arbrau. His allies are powerful people and his opponent had to sell herself to Iznario Fareed in order to oust him. Plus, by dint of arriving in Edmonton at all, Makanai can make a stink about Gjallarhorn's (illegal) interference in an internal affair, dealing them a harmful blow.

Within this context, giving Kudelia the stage might plausibly be read as a power-move by someone who's already won. That she shames more votes his way . . . well, this is ultimately still a story. IBO shows its working well enough for me, personally, to be satisfied with how the plot beats hit.

And with Makanai reinstated, Season 1 ends on an upbeat note for the Martian independence movement. Kudelia negotiates her deal, making all the sacrifices worthwhile – hooray!

Sacrifices. Interesting word. Everyone is at it, sacrificing each other for the greater good, for some far-off goal. Whatever Mikazuki's opinions on the matter, Kudelia dwells on the members of Tekkadan who die doing a job she is paying them for. She has their blood on her hands.

But what of Kudelia's personal sacrifices?

In Season 2, we see these come home to roost. Right away, we find Kudelia working as president of the Admoss Company, administering the half-metal mining on behalf of the people of Chryse . . . and Teiwaz, Nobliss and McGillis, her not-so silent partners. She has given up politics to focus on this task, building schools and orphanages with her fraction of the profit from the deals she made.

Perhaps it is therefore no wonder she is so much more reserved and downcast at this point. After all, how would you feel if you'd had to get into bed with the mafia, an arms-dealer and the world's least-reliable Machiavelli-impersonator?

This is Kudelia's version of Mikazuki losing his body so he can keep fighting. Kudelia takes what she can practically achieve at the expense of never becoming a true 'Maiden of Revolution'. It limits her potential as the inspiring figure Nobliss set her up to be, it neuters the hope she can provide, and restricts her achievements to fiddling around the edges of a still-unjust system. Not because she doesn't want to do more, not because she isn't a fundamentally good person, but because she values doing something concrete over aiming for a dream she may never reach.

Within the story, Kudelia forms one pole of morality, demonstrating how to grow and learn, and the importance of not letting your reach exceed your grasp. It's by following her advise that Takaki escapes the fate the rest of Tekkadan suffers, for example. However she also ends up shaking hands with the man responsible for killing large chunks of her adoptive family. I am not certain if the message coming out of that is the one intended, but it sure as hell is a coherent one.

Sometimes, if you want to make a difference, you have to trade with terrible people. And sometimes, making that trade stops your ultimate aim dead in their tracks.

“But Words, “ you might say, “isn't that a terribly cynical view of politics and how the distribution of power works to disempower even the most influential advocates of change?”

To which I'd say, “how did you get in my house?” before adding, “well yes, but this is a show rooted in the reality of child soldiers. If you're not being deeply cynical about the mechanisms by which the world operates, you're doing it wrong.”

These are the kinds of compromises made every day by those working in charities and political establishments, or any kind of official avenue, trying to do some good. I've been there myself, on much, much smaller scales. It's not right. Yet it happens. Until there are is an almost-inconceivably thorough change to the way the world is organised, it's going to keep happening.

Kudelia fails the same way most of the characters in Iron-Blooded Orphans do: incompletely. Like many of the others, she offers inspiration, hope, kindness, love, and opportunity to those around her. That she is ultimately powerless to save them is a direct, unintended consequence of who she is and what she values, and how those factors inform the choices she makes. That she achieves some measure of what she set out to is an ambiguous success at best.

The epilogue for the show portrays a Mars freed from Earth, with Kudelia as chairperson for the new Martian Union assembly. She has taken a position of power and this is presented as a good thing. A reward for her dedication to the slow, practical path. She gets to extol the virtues of the world she now lives in, building on Tekkadan's sacrifices to create something better.

But I can't stop thinking about all those deals from Season 1, how her speeches are underpinned equally by her righteous indignation at injustice and the pragmatic means by which she takes the stage. I can't help wonder how far her portion of the tragedy stretches. What fresh compromises did she make in order to reach the point of cosigning the Human Debris Abolishment Treaty?

What I know for sure is, for the chance to take another step forward, she wouldn't have hesitated.

Part Five - Welcome to STRIKE

[slow burn romance between Steve Rogers and SHIELD agent Emma Baker]

Warnings: 18+, contains humor, fluff, mental health, family trauma, romance, angst, language, violence, (potentially smut later on).

installment list

Word count: 2k

Emma and Steve are informed of the new STRIKE team in DC.

One evening after a day that seemed to drag on forever, Steve comes over to Emma's apartment. She's playing music and dancing while she cooks dinner for the two of them, both enjoying the other's company. The playlist she has on is mainly Disney music because that evening, Emma is planning on having Steve watch a bunch of Disney movies with her. While Emma waits for the sandwiches to brown on her grill pan, the chorus for a song comes on and she starts singing along quietly.

In the middle of her singing, Emma calls, "Come on Steve, which one is this from?"

While Steve wracks his brain, Emma acts out the scene the best she can as she sings. Steve smiles and finally shouts, "The Little Mermaid!"

"You got it," Emma replies with a laugh.

"You know, you have a really nice singing voice, Em. Have you ever considered doing those musicals you love so much?"

"When I was about fifteen I used to daydream about being up on that stage in front of hundreds of people performing my heart out, but...then I told myself to be realistic. So that's when I got serious about writing."

"Oh come on, you can't let talent like that go to waste. That would be like me not being Captain America and using the abilities I've been given for good."

Emma gives him a look and says with a smirk, "Like you have been the last few months?"

"That's different, Em. I'm technically on the run from the Council. Just... a very relaxed run where I go to Coney Island and watch Disney movies with you. More like a jog really."

As Emma laughs at the comment, the front door to her apartment swings open. As the person enters, they say, "Well you won't be for much longer, Captain."

Emma clutches her chest at the sudden appearance of Director Fury and Maria who holds up her spare key to Emma's place with a smirk. Steve sits up on the couch he had been lounging on and asks, "And what may you mean by that, Director?"

"We need you, Rogers. SHIELD is reforming a team of very skilled tactical agents called STRIKE and we think you would be a great addition. Agent Romanoff recommended you."

"Do I really have a choice?" Steve asks.

"Not really," Maria informs him. "SHIELD wants you back in the game, Captain Rogers, and you'll find that it's hard to say no to SHIELD."

When Maria finishes her sentence, Fury turns to Emma and says, "We'll need you too, Baker. All the STRIKE missions will need to be monitored and documented, and that's where you come in."

"Yes sir, whatever you need, I'm there. Where's the team located?"

"DC," he replies. "The agency will be able to set you both up with apartments there while the work is being done. We just don't know how long the stint there will last."

Emma's face falls a bit hearing that she will have to leave her apartment in Brooklyn. Maria notices so she says, "So you don't have to lose this place, you could rent it to a temporary tenant while you're down there. This is prime real estate, I'm sure you could find someone quickly."

Emma nods and looks over to the sandwiches on the grill and goes to flip them while Fury and Maria continue telling Steve about the details of the task force. She cuts the sandwiches in triangles and puts them all on one plate, bringing them into the living area where the other three are speaking. As she places them onto the table, she apologizes, "I'm sorry, if I knew there would be more than just us I would have made more, but help yourselves, everyone."

Maria reaches for a triangle and Fury shakes his head, telling her, "I can't eat it if it's in the shape of a triangle."

Emma tilts her head a bit in confusion before saying, "Well if you want I can make another and not cut it like that, Director."

Fury subtly looks at Steve and then Emma and then the movie screen and says, "I appreciate the offer, Baker, but Hill and I need to get going anyways, we need to round up a few more people to tell them about the team."

Maria shoots Fury a slightly confused look while she takes a bite of her sandwich but gets up anyway to follow him. As they walk out the door, she calls, "Thank you for the food, Em! Remember our plans for tomorrow after work!"

"Wouldn't dare forget," she calls as they shut the door. 

Alone again and ready to watch a movie, Emma and Steve both reach for a sandwich on the plate and their hands brush momentarily. Emma tries to ignore the beat her heart skips while she apologizes and reaches for a different sandwich half.

"So what movie are we on now?" Steve asks.

"Aladin," Emma replies after a few seconds, ignoring the slight shake in her hands. "Very good movie, lots of fun too." She puts her sandwich on a napkin to rest while she calms herself down by spinning the ring she wears on her thumb in circles.

Steve notices the slight shaking in her hands and the spinning of the ring and asks, "You nervous about moving?"

Emma nods and says, "That could be it. I just thought I finally found a place to settle down for a while and now I'm off again." This wasn't a complete lie, the thought of moving away from the last gift her grandfather gave her was upsetting, but it wasn't the reason her hands were shaking. After a few more seconds, she adds on truthfully upon a realization, "And then there's Grammie... She's in a home right now and her nurses say she isn't doing too well... I would hate to be out of state and something happens to her."

"Hey, it'll all be okay, Em. Hill will be there as well, so you'll still have a support group of us there for you. Work will keep you busy. I'm sure you'll be back before you know it."

At the comforting words, Emma can't help but notice her heartbeat slow back to a normal pace. "Thank you," she tells him with a smile.

"Anytime," he replies. "Now let's start this movie and forget about the rest of the world for a while, yeah?"

A few weeks later, Emma, Steve, Maria, and Fury were all successfully moved into their new places in DC. Emma had found a perfect tenant to rent her place to while she was gone: an artist who did cityscapes of the major cities of the world and parts of New York City were her next series. During the move, Emma kept in constant contact with her Grammie, but they finally got to have a sit-down video chat when Emma got settled in.

"Hey, sweetie!" Grammie calls as she waves to her camera.

"Hey, Grammie! How have you been?"

"I've been doing okay, lots of medication lately. I have a nurse in here every other hour making sure I'm okay!" She turns the camera around to show Emma the nurse currently in her room. "Say hello to Emiliano! Don't tell anyone else but he's my favorite."

Emma giggles and waves at the nurse who smiles back warmly. When Grammie turns the camera back to her, Emma says, "Well I'm glad you're in such good hands."

"Me too, honey. How have you been?"

Emma leans back in her desk chair and sighs, admitting, "Stressed. Moving is a lot harder when you don't have a bag constantly packed to pick up and go like I used to growing up."

"I understand. Tell me again why you moved?"

Emma hears the nurse say his goodbyes to Grammie, so she decides it would be okay to tell her, "Well I've been assigned to keep tabs on and document the missions of a special task force here in DC. It's made of the most elite agents in the agency."

"Oh, that sounds great! I'm happy you've come so far in your career! I remember when I was first teaching you the ins and outs of journalistic writing when you moved in with us. You picked everything up so quickly!"

Emma smiles remembering one of the first genuinely happy moments of her upbringing. "See, all of this is thanks to you Grammie! I couldn't have done it without you!" As she says this, her phone starts ringing with a call from Steve. "One sec, Grammie. I have to take this. Work. Hey Steve, what's up?"

"Hey Em, Fury said he wants the whole crew to the Triskelion ASAP," he tells her.

Emma's heart sinks knowing she'll have to cut her call with Grammie short, but she knows she can't disobey orders from the Director, so she replies, "Thanks for telling me, I'll be there shortly."

She hangs up the phone and Grammie asks, "Who was that?"

"Captain Rogers," Emma replies.

"Captain Steve Rogers... why... isn't that Captain America sweetie?"

Emma's heart breaks a little hearing this because she had discussed Cap with her before, but she was forgetting things now. She musters up a smile for Grammie and says, "Yep, that's him!"

"That's wonderful, honey!" Grammie replies with a smile. "Now it sounded important, so I'll let you go, but when we have time to call again, remind me to tell you a story about that Captain Rogers."

"I can't wait to hear it," Emma tells her, happy that she still seemed to have her memories from the more distant past.

"Well, I'll talk to you later, I love you, Emma!"

"I love you too, Grammie."

When the call ends and the screen goes dark, tears begin to escape Emma's eyes. Grammie seemed to be getting worse and didn't even know it. Her optimism is something that Emma always admired, but she just wished she could be there for her.

When Emma arrives for the meeting, she quickly wipes away her tears before getting out of her car. As she walks through the parking garage to get inside, one of the other journalists calls her name and waves. "Hey, Emma!"

Emma puts on a smile and replies, "Hey Sandra! How's your latest report going?"

"Going great! I just wish I was at the level to do cool stuff like you do. I mean...your report on the Avengers?? That was so good! It really captured the battle well."

"Thank you," Emma replies as she swipes her card to gain access into the building. "The news stations really drank all of it up, one even approached me asking if I could do a thirty-minute segment on the battle, but Fury denied their request."

"Oh boo," Sandra replies with a laugh.

As they walk further into the building, Emma sees Steve leaning against the wall waiting on her while chatting with Maria. He raises a hand in greeting and Emma does the same in return. "Well, that's my cue, I'll see you later."

"See ya!" Sandra replies as she heads off to the newsroom.

Emma walks up to the pair and says her greetings before they all start their walk to the conference room where Fury and the others will be meeting. Maria pulls Emma back from in stride with Steve and asks, "Hey, are you okay?"

Emma sighs, replying, "I've been better, why do you ask?"

"Well I can just tell you've been crying and I wanted to check in."

"Shit," Emma curses, "is it that noticeable?"

Maria laughs a bit and reassures her, "No, no, it's not bad, I've just known you long enough to tell. But really, what's wrong?"

"I'd rather not get into it until after the meeting, I don't want to risk crying again in front of everyone. Especially not Fury."

"I understand," Maria replies as they approach the conference room. "Just breathe."

Emma nods as they walk through the door Steve holds open for them. After the three of them get seated and a few others arrive, the meeting commences with Fury and Maria making sure everyone on the team knows their position and role for the task force.

[mariacallous]

Barring another extension, The Phantom of the Opera will close in April and the torch will pass to Chicago as the longest-running show currently on Broadway. The bare-bones revival of this musical of murder and infamy (lyrics by Fred Ebb, music by John Kander, and book by Ebb and original director Bob Fosse) has played continuously since 1996 — decades longer than the 1975 original production. One might reasonably expect the show to have entered tourist-trap territory by now, with phoned-in performances for half-awake viewers who picked up their discount tickets at the TKTS booth an hour before curtain. But it's one of the great delights of Broadway in 2023 that the cast and crew of Chicago are still performing like it's opening night.

Maybe it's because the story of Chicago has only appreciated in value in the age of social media, "reality" television, George Santos, and any number of fraudulent celebrities who now occupy prime real estate in our national attention. It's about Roxy Hart (Charlotte d'Amboise), an aging flapper who cheats on her husband (an appropriately pathetic Evan Harrington) with a furniture salesman (Brian O'Brien) and then shoots the bastard when he tries to walk out on her. She hires the unscrupulous lawyer Billy Flynn (James T. Lane) to represent her, and he immediately launches a media blitz designed to throw her case to the court of public opinion. If Roxie plays her cards right, she might even leverage her scandal into a career in vaudeville. But she'll have to contend with his other client, Velma Kelly (Amra-Faye Wright), as well as any murderess-turned-tabloid-celebrity coming into the clink after her.

For a show that is so much about the power of novelty in a fickle culture, Chicago benefits most from the seasoned performances of Wright and d'Amboise, both of whom have appeared regularly in this show since the turn of the century. Hopping with mousy, quirky energy, d'Amboise portrays a Roxy who is not a natural stage presence: She's breathy and excitable, and it seems as though any missed step or dropped line will send her rushing for the inhaler. That makes her sudden fame feel even more like a precious commodity she cannot afford to lose. She plays off the audience during "Roxie" like she's giving a one-night-only concert, and seems to particularly delight in antagonizing Velma, the Cristal Connors to her Nomi Malone. Wright plays the part of old pro well, delivering line readings that are as sharp as her dance moves.

Lane has appeared in several roles in Chicago before assuming the role of Billy Flynn. His rich intonation and disingenuous smile conjure the image of velvet smeared with Kerrygold butter — a combination simultaneously decadent and revolting. One never questions his command of the press, particularly the credulous Mary Sunshine. Ryan Lowe, who has played this part for over a decade, still soars into the rafters with his magnificent countertenor. Additionally, he seems to have been lifting hard since I last saw this production, making his second act reveal even more delightfully subversive.

If the veteran performers are the backbone of Chicago, the celebrity replacements (often derided as "stunt casting") are the lifeblood. Chicago has featured Jerry Springer, Pamela Anderson, Wendy Williams, and no fewer than four Real Housewives. These people bring fresh perspectives (and, crucially, new ticket-buyers) to the Ambassador Theatre. It's smart business and good dramaturgy in a musical that is all about the fleeting enchantment of public attention.

The newest addition to Chicago is Jinkx Monsoon, a double winner of RuPaul's Drag Race and the first drag performer (with apologies to NeNe Leakes) to assume the role of Matron "Mama" Morton. From the wild entrance applause she received during a recent Saturday matinee, it's clear that she's holding up her end of the bargain — and she justifies their enthusiasm with a goosebump-producing rendition of "When You're Good to Mama." One of the great belters presently working on the American stage, Monsoon's voice only seems to have grown since her annual holiday show with BenDeLaCreme. While her exaggerated dialect is more Canarsie than Chicago, Monsoon justifies the choice with a fully realized portrayal of Mama as a grotesque inhabitant of this world of smoke and mirrors, in which the most opportunistic always find a way to profit from tragedy. We easily fill in the backstory.

The excellent ensemble does the rest, creating memorable moments within director Walter Bobbie's staging and the late Ann Reinking's precise Fosse-inspired choreography. Rachel Schur's hilariously novel interpretation of Annie (the inmate charged with poisoning her Mormon husband) suggests a frazzled PTA mom. Christine Cornish's heartfelt turn as Hunyak, the Polish immigrant who professes her innocence, injects gravity into an otherwise frivolous spectacle. And Michael Scirrotto's tour de force as every member of the jury practically steals the scene. All these performances pop within a design scheme (atypically spare set by John Lee Beatty, harshly theatrical lighting by Ken Billington, sexy sheer costumes by William Ivey Long) that establishes the essential mood of the piece with brilliant economy. These are the best tricks of experimental theater applied to a big Broadway musical.

I am typically of the opinion that no show has any business occupying a Broadway house for more than a decade: Theater is ephemeral, and the magic tends to wear off as the years pass and performances become stale. Chicago makes this a difficult position to maintain. Ten thousand performances later, it's still dazzling.

News travels through the air on the island like salt on a sea breeze. Here is the gossip currently circulating as of November 11, 2022. Read on below the cut!

INTRAMURALS: Kang Sae-byeok knows everything there is to know about basketball inexplicably and has put together an exhibition tournament, Meridium's first-ever! At least she tried to; numerous newer residents kept asking her how to cut an umbrella out of dalgona and if they would have to play marbles. Said disappointed point guard Jupiter George: "I never even got the chance to say 'put me in, coach'! All my hoop dreams down the drain." Asked for comment on this disappointing development, Kang Sae-byeok was heard to simply murmur, "Whoa."

SEEKING: Someone with no adversity to water and two (2!) working hands to help set up lagoon water lanterns along the edges of The Bridge. Must also be willing to tolerate a fair amount of cursing. It won’t be directed at you but it sure will be directed.

EVENT: Upcoming two-weekend seminar to be held on: Meridium Survival Tips: What, Like it's Hard? Tips will centre around issues of food, shelter, and of course that general feeling of 'what the fuck is going on and why'.  Survival cannot be done alone.  Students will attend a general lecture in the first weekend, followed by a track the second weekend that is specific to your survival specialization.  Each specialization taught by three unique weirdos/outcasts who always seem to make it out alive with a chill alomb.

Schedule an appointment today! * All examples are fictional scenarios and any correlation to real-world events are coincidental

REGRETS: Ms. Tamyra Williams, in an unfortunate mishap, was startled by a yet-unidentified species of squid while she was taking a mid-afternoon swim. The squid, in what was clearly a targeted attack (Ms. Williams is conducting an investigation into the possibilities of squid-training), squirted a viscous dark blue ink all over Ms. Williams. The regret is that her pale yellow bikini in a perfectly flattering shade has been ruined, and nobody will be blessed by seeing her in it anymore.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The kimchi rotation is as follows. Monday - cabbage Tuesday - cucumber Wednesday - green mango Thursday- watermelon rind Friday - green papaya Saturday - carrot Sunday - tomato The wait list is now open. You will be eating with Sae-byeok unless Haneul is already there. It’s fine if you don’t talk. If you talk, make it good. If it’s good, you will be given access to the flavored milk rotation.

NOTICE: DO NOT, under any circumstances, approach the smokehouse on the Lower Farm without prior explicit approval and consent and a special sewn-together leaf badge!! There's no reason for this it's just that Kaz doesn't like interlopers. Or go bother him we're not your mother, sheesh. SPEED DATING! Lonely?  Looking for companionship or just someone to hang out with?  Drinking tonnes of tea but having no swipes on island tindr?  Come for a night of speed-dating!  We all know this outdated ritual, still dragged out by romcoms to show the desperation of the protagonist's singlehood.  Meet other hot Meridium singles in your neighbourhood (South Beach has got neighbourhoods now, that's right.) and take five minutes to know each other before moving onto the next potential love!  Be prepared to meet strangers, friends, frenemies, and enemies in a new light: the humiliating vulnerability of a five-minute date.   So what if this guy gut-punched you earlier this year? He looks so nervous and cute in his bowtie now!  So what if this lady stole your water during the drought?  She got her hair in an updo for this night! Can't make this month's dating event?  Next month will be: blind dates!  You'll be forcibly paired with someone for two conscripted hours of faked cheer!  We can't wait to see you there!

EDUCATIONAL EVENT: The older people on Meridium are sick of the blatant ignorance of everyone who's below some arbitrary age, let's say 32. In their boundless wisdom they have put together a chapbook of information, slang, and recipes that younguns should know for their own damn good! Some excerpts: - "dimanche tabernac: this is a slang but do not ever say this! Its meaning is so terrible I dare not even say it aloud, or put it down, or sign it to you. In fact please retract this entry por favor. You're retracting it, yes? It's gone? Gracias. It would be a true nightmare to know I have released this into the world. I must lie down now" - "If for some godforsaken reason you've decided to process bitter cassava then you need to, obviously, observe either the soaking method for the correct amount of time, or paste-drying, or else construct a long sleeve of tightly-woven palm leaves to extract the starch, or cook the syrup for no less than forty hours, this is all self-evident but I know you won't do it right so enjoy your cyanide poisoning" - "when you are attempting to extract information from a member of your preferred ... you know what I am saying. No, I will not elaborate. Such a foul mind you have to want me to say more! Sacre bleu I will not continue if all you require is filth!" Chapbooks are available at the little pond where there's that fish who sometimes spits at people. We do not anticipate running out anytime soon so visit at your leisure.

FOUND: A professional manicurist's case of twenty-four (24) assorted colours of unopened OPI nailpolishes. No need to try and claim them, I just wanted to boast about it. They're mine and I'm not sharing, bitchezzz! - Alex L. Woo

REGRETS: A cave flooded near The Bridge. Like, big time. Good news: Nice, fresh mud for self-care purposes! (May have fresh bone chips in it! So good for exfoliating!) Bad news: a bunch of people’s belongings got sucked in there. So... come have a spa day and get your stuff! 

NEEDED: Someone to relay a stack of paper to the hairy 19-year-old Indian-looking boy named Kaz. I do not know where he stays, and I do not care to find out.

Obelisk Eye never closes! We will begin our latest entry with a poem about Meridium’s newest location, The Bridge.

here, and there              within, but without the bridge is a gateway  travel through     lagoons the Labyrinth SEES we sleep,                but we walk things are not what they seem running                        barefoot blood red on the white soles the Labyrinth LAUGHS the bridge, they said, is such                                                         a foolish name why not the way? the path? the portal? the mirror? the Labyrinth CALLS

Thank you to our particularly artistic ObOp for beginning to unpack one of Meridium’s greater mysteries! This week our Obelisk Operatives (ObOps) have observed the following behaviors. So pull out your magnifying glass, write in the sand, and let’s do some sleuthing. - One ObOp spotted Hanan Zakir... climbing? By herself? When asked, Hanan said it was "for fun" despite the obvious risks to life and limb. Note: it didn't look very fun. - Another ObOp has observed that whenever Jovi George doesn’t know what he’s looking at, he simply pokes it. We can’t help but wonder if he has ever hurt his finger doing this. Please do not do it to Our Obelisk. - Flora Hardy appears to be mastering different pitches in her so-called “nonsense words,” which her parents claim are “normal for a baby.” We do not believe that they are truly nonsense. Who could she be communicating with? - There are many mosquitoes beginning to gather in the standing water near The “Bridge”. They also make high-pitched noises, one ObOp noted. Is this who Flora speaks to?

Any other news to report?  Become an ObOp or risk being spied on!  Always remember:

DEAR MS. MERIDIUM

Anonymous islanders are invited to voice their questions, complaints, and compliments to the island itself. Replies are not guaranteed.

Dear Ms. Meridium, I saw that a previous letter was signed by "Fauna Forever Flora Never" and I *can't* be the only one who sees this as a direct foretelling of that weird baby the Hardy-Blums found! Is it a warning? I think it's a warning. We should all be on our guard. - Rosemary's Omen

Dear Ms. Meridium, Listen. Listen. I think The Bridge is really neat. Being able to sit there and watch the Labyrinth do its thing? So cool! Very neat! What’s less cool? The bugs. They are everywhere. Can’t we get a little less buggy? You took the whole ocean away. Surely you can work on a little bit of standing water. I’m going to have to move if this doesn’t let up soon! Itchily, Bug-Be-Gone

Dear Ms. Meridium, That Madi from the farm has a vendetta against me! She put some snails near my train car and now those snails are keeping me up at night. Don't laugh I'm air-attuned so I can hear them slithering around and that gross pop sound when they pull into their shells. I think I'm developing a complex. Madi owes me and I think to make up for this trauma she should come be my wife. Just sayin. - Escargot Home With Me

KIDDIE MERIDIUM THEORY CORNER! by Jovi George

The usual organizer of Kiddie Corner recently “nearly drowned” and “isn’t in the mood,” apparently, and I’ve got things to say, so here we go.

1. I think I’ve cracked it. If you want the island to be nice to you, you have to treat it like it’s your crush! Bring it nice things! Invite it on adventures with you! Compliment its abilities! It might intimidate you a little bit, but that’s fair! ... Actually, on second thought, I might be thinking of something else. But I still think that stands!

2. I think there are two Labyrinths. Of course, I’m not even supposed to go into one of them, so I can’t exactly test this out (cough wink cough), but I suspect there’s a kind Labyrinth and a cruel Labyrinth, of sorts. Though maybe it’s just a matter of attitude, like I mentioned above... the more I think about it the more I think I’m right.

3. If we go up somewhere high and put every cell phone that we collected in a circle, we’ve got to be able to AirDrop something to someone. I just need all of your phones. 

4. Is it just me or do the dots on the Fisher’s Map look like they spell out ‘HI’? Maybe I’ve been staring at it too long...

5. There are tunnels under the beaches, yeah? Well who’s to say there aren’t more under the oceans? What if that’s where all of our stuff was kept all that time? And then when the ocean fell through and into the Labyrinth, that’s when they came up? Wait, I’ve drawn a diagram. I’ll attach it below.

6. Actually this is more of a question: how did North Beach people figure out that tea works to stop pregnancies? I’m not trying to use it, I’m just curious. Was it just trial and error? Or did someone sip it and think to themselves, hey, this tastes like my IUD feels? I’m serious! It’s a serious question!

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: I’ve been notified that these things are “better suited for Ob-Ops.” But I haven’t gotten an invite! I’m not above joining a weird statue cult! I just need you to tell me I’m allowed! And what were you going to do, just leave Kiddie Corner empty? Shoot.

Tampere's Aamulehti writes (siirryt toiseen palveluun) that not all measures meant to save energy in homes are a good idea.

The paper spoke with Niina Lehtonen, regional director of the real estate management company Tampereen Talopalvelut, and she pointed to a few mistakes people make when trying to trim their power consumption.

One common mistake is to try to cut back on ventilation, with the idea that it will keep heat in, and costs down.

Lehtonen's advice about ventilation systems is, "You shouldn't mess with them."

"The purpose of ventilation is to dry the house. If it doesn't work, there will be problems with moisture," she pointed out.

Asked if one can leave the sauna door open after bathing to take advantage of the leftover heat, Niina Lehtonen said that this is a fine idea, as it helps dry the washroom.

In contrast, turning off floor heating in the bathroom is not a good idea, as the floor will stay wet for a longer time, creating the risk that moisture may seep in and cause structural damage.

Two easy and efficient ways to save energy at home are to change over to LED lights where possible, and if one lives in a flat with a balcony, to make sure that the door seals are in good condition and prevent drafts.

Climate choices

Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) looks at a report by the Finnish Climate Change Panel that says that low-emission choices by consumers play a significant role in Finland's efforts to fight climate change.

The panel, which is an an independent advisory council, points to two main opportunities – changes in diet and changes in transport.

Shifting to electric vehicles and increasing the use of public transport would have a clear impact, and this trend is already being seen.

When it comes to dietary change, however, the Climate Change Panel says Finland is stalemated.

A more climate-sustainable diet would require a reduction in the consumption of meat and dairy products. But in order for this to happen, it would require a change in national agricultural policies. Current policies support meat and milk production.

The Climate Change Panel says that the combined effect of Finland's climate policy and the additional measures proposed in its latest report could reduce the carbon footprint of households from 2015 levels by almost 50 percent by 2030.

Children's Independence Day Ball

Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) welcomed hundreds of children to their very own Independence Day celebration at the House of the Estates in Helsinki on Wednesday, following a two-year suspension due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As Ilta-Sanomat reports (siirryt toiseen palveluun), this is an annual event that brings children from all around the country to the capital for their own evening of entertainment, dance and a handshake with the prime minister and other dignitaries.

Each year, every municipality in the country is invited to send 10-year-olds to the ball. This year, of the 564 children invited, 558 were in attendance.

The theme of the celebration was "creators of the future", and the children were asked to make a drawing, photograph, poem, story or other piece of art reflecting the day's theme, which were all digitally displayed at the venue.

Abandoned pandemic pets

The farmer's union paper Maaseudun Tulevaisuus carries a feature (siirryt toiseen palveluun) about the Kotipesä animal shelter in Kokkola and what its director, Pekka Puolimatka, sees as a growing indifference to the welfare of pets.

The majority of animals the shelter cares for are cats, around 300 a year, plus some thirty or so dogs.

"When it comes to cats, the indifference of people is in a class of its own and also year-round. Cats are dumped like garbage bags," says Puolimatka.

A new class of abandoned animals the shelter has been caring for are pandemic pets.

"Spending more time at home inspired people to get pets, usually a cat. However, they did so without much thought. Once there was no longer any interest, money or abilty to take care of them, they became a burden. This is really sad, and says a lot about these people, as well," Pekka Puolimatka notes.

Puolimatka says that the animals at the Kotipesä shelter always manage to get a "forever home".

"A couple hundred cats a year get new servants. However, the criteria for a new home are very strict. As an animal care facility, we have a responsibility and obligation to take good care of each animal and to ensure that it gets the treatment it deserves as a new family member."

Snowy roads

Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) is among the papers reporting that the snowfall seen overnight across large parts of the country will continue on Thursday, and warms motorists to be prepared for bad driving weather.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute has issued warnings of dangerous driving weather that are in force until Thursday evening.

Potentially dangerous conditions on the roads are forecast to continue through the evening in all parts of the country with the exception of the northeast and Finnish Lapland.

Building Tomorrow's World: Metaverse Virtual City Development Unveiled

In the realm of technology and innovation, the concept of the metaverse has emerged as a groundbreaking frontier. Imagine a virtual universe where individuals can interact, work, play, and create in a digital environment that mirrors the complexities of the real world. Within this expansive digital landscape lies the concept of a Metaverse Virtual City – a bustling hub of activity, commerce, and social interaction. In this article, we delve into the development of Metaverse Virtual Cities, exploring the metaproalne, products, and the exciting potential they hold for the future.

The Rise of the Metaverse: Unveiling a New Digital Frontier

The term "metaverse" refers to a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physical reality. It's a space where users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. As technology continues to advance, the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are becoming increasingly blurred, giving rise to the metaverse phenomenon.

Metaverse Virtual Cities represent the pinnacle of this evolution, offering immersive digital environments that mimic the complexities of real-world cities. These virtual hubs serve as bustling centers of activity, commerce, and socialization, bringing together people from around the globe in a shared digital space.

Metaproalne: The Building Blocks of Metaverse Virtual Cities

At the core of every Metaverse Virtual City lies the concept of metaproalne – a term used to describe the underlying infrastructure and protocols that govern these digital realms. Metaproalne encompasses everything from the underlying code and algorithms to the networking protocols and user interfaces that define the virtual experience.

Developing a Metaverse Virtual City requires meticulous planning and implementation of metaproalne to ensure a seamless and immersive user experience. This includes building scalable server architectures, implementing robust security measures, and designing intuitive user interfaces that facilitate seamless navigation within the virtual environment.

Metaverse Products: Fueling Innovation in Virtual Cities

In addition to the underlying infrastructure, Metaverse Virtual Cities rely on a myriad of products and technologies to bring them to life. From virtual reality headsets to augmented reality glasses, these products play a crucial role in shaping the user experience within the metaverse.

One of the key products driving innovation in Metaverse Virtual Cities is the metaverse product. These products encompass a wide range of digital assets, including virtual real estate, digital currencies, and virtual goods. Users can buy, sell, and trade these assets within the metaverse, creating new opportunities for commerce and investment.

Virtual real estate, in particular, has emerged as a lucrative market within Metaverse Virtual Cities. Just like in the real world, prime locations within the virtual environment command premium prices, with developers and investors vying for coveted parcels of digital land. This has led to the rise of virtual real estate marketplaces, where users can buy, sell, and lease virtual properties within the metaverse.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Metaverse Virtual Cities

As technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for Metaverse Virtual Cities are virtually limitless. From virtual concerts and events to immersive educational experiences and virtual tourism, these digital hubs have the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and play.

However, with great potential comes great challenges. As Metaverse Virtual Cities continue to grow and evolve, developers must grapple with issues such as scalability, security, and accessibility to ensure that these digital environments remain inclusive and sustainable.

In conclusion, Metaverse Virtual Cities represent a bold new frontier in the realm of technology and innovation. With the development of metaproalne, the proliferation of metaverse products, and the boundless possibilities they hold for the future, these virtual hubs are poised to redefine the way we interact with the digital world. As we embark on this exciting journey into the metaverse, one thing is certain – the future has never looked more virtual.

Introduction: Finding the Perfect Time

We're going on a journey to find out when it's the very best time to wave goodbye to your old house and hello to a new adventure! Think of this as your special map for selling your home in Idaho.

Why Timing Matters

Let's discover why choosing the right moment to sell your home is like playing hopscotch—you want to land just right to win!

Timing is crucial when it comes to selling your home. Just like baking a cake, you need to put it in the oven at the perfect time to make sure it comes out just right. If you try to sell your home when not many people are looking to buy, you might not get as much money for it. But if you wait for the perfect moment when lots of buyers are searching, you could end up with a great deal!

Imagine if you tried to sell mittens in the middle of summer when everyone is wearing shorts and tank tops. Not many people would want to buy mittens when it's warm outside. It's the same with selling your home—if you choose the wrong time, you might not get many buyers interested.

The Seasons of Selling

We'll look at the times of the year and see which season makes the biggest splash in selling houses. Is summer fun in the sun the best, or is winter's snow a no-go?

Spring into Action

Does everything grow in spring, even house sales? Let's explore.

Summer Selling Sunshine

Is selling your house while getting a tan a good plan?

Falling Leaves, Rising Sales?

Can autumn leaves bring buyers who please?

Winter Wonderland or Waitland?

Does selling a house in winter make people say, 'wow' or 'brrr'?

The Idaho Market Dance

Just like how Idaho is famous for its delicious potatoes, the real estate market in Idaho has its own unique dance when it comes to selling homes. Let's put on our dancing shoes and explore if there's a special season for house sales in the Gem State.

When it comes to selling your home in Idaho, timing can be key. Just as the seasons change in the state, so do the peaks and dips in the real estate market. Let's take a closer look at how the Idaho market moves and grooves throughout the year.

Spring into Action

As the snow melts away and flowers begin to bloom, spring may bring a fresh start to the Idaho real estate market. With warmer weather and longer days, buyers may be more eager to start their house-hunting journey, making it a prime time to put your home on the market.

Summer Selling Sunshine

With the sun shining bright and the days long and warm, summer can be a popular time for home sales in Idaho. Families may be looking to settle into a new home before the start of the school year, making it a favorable season to attract potential buyers.

Falling Leaves, Rising Sales?

As the leaves change colors and the air becomes crisp, autumn may bring a different energy to the Idaho real estate market. While some buyers may be focused on holiday preparations, others may see the fall season as an opportunity to find their dream home before winter sets in.

Winter Wonderland or Waitland?

When snow blankets the ground and the holiday spirit fills the air, winter in Idaho can be a magical time. However, the real estate market in winter may have its own rhythm. While some buyers may be cozying up by the fire, others may be eager to make a purchase before the end of the year.

The Price Is Right... Or Is It?

We'll chat about how the time of year can change the price tag on your house—higher, lower, or just right!

Home Selling Guide

When it comes to selling your home, the timing can have a big effect on how much money you make. Just like how the price of your favorite toy might change depending on the season, the price of your house can also go up or down. If you sell your house when lots of people are looking to buy, you might get more money for it. But if you try to sell it when not many people are shopping for houses, you might not get as much!

Property Sales Timing

Imagine you have a special edition trading card that everyone wants. If you sell it when everyone is trying to collect it, you might get a really good price. But if you try to sell it when people aren't interested anymore, you might not get as much money. The same goes for selling a house—the timing is super important!

Getting Your Home Ready

Before you invite potential buyers into your home, you want to make sure it's looking its absolute best. Just like getting dressed up for a special occasion, your house needs some primping and preening too. Let's learn how to make your home shine like a diamond!

Setting the Stage

Imagine your house is a movie star getting ready for the red carpet. You want to make sure every room is clean, tidy, and welcoming. Start by decluttering, which means getting rid of things you don't need or use. This will make your home look more spacious and inviting.

Bright and Beautiful

Lighting can make a big difference in how your home feels. Open up the curtains to let in natural light, and add some lamps or overhead lights for a cozy atmosphere. Brightening up your space can make it more appealing to potential buyers.

Fixer-Upper Tasks

Take a closer look at your home and see if there are any repairs that need to be done. Are there leaky faucets, chipped paint, or squeaky doors? Fixing these little things can go a long way in making your home look well-maintained and cared for.

Curb Appeal

First impressions are important, so don't forget about the outside of your home. Tidy up the yard, plant some colorful flowers, and give your front door a fresh coat of paint. A welcoming exterior can attract buyers before they even step inside.

Super Selling Tips

Are you ready to uncover the secret sauce to sell your home faster than a speeding bullet? Well, buckle up because we've got some super selling tips that will make your house stand out in the crowd!

Make a Great First Impression

Imagine your home is dressed up for a fancy party—curb appeal is like the beautiful outfit your house wears to impress the guests. Keep the lawn trimmed, add some colorful flowers, and give the front door a fresh coat of paint. First impressions matter! Month Peak Selling Time January 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM February 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM March 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM April 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM May 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM June 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM July 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM August 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM September 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM October 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM November 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM December 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Declutter and Depersonalize

Buyers want to picture themselves living in your home, so clear out the clutter and personal items. Less is more when it comes to showcasing your space. Consider renting a storage unit to store excess furniture and belongings.

Show off Your Home's Best Features

Got a stunning fireplace or a gorgeous view? Make sure to highlight these selling points. Use good lighting, strategically place mirrors to make rooms appear bigger, and keep your home clean and tidy for showings.

Price It Right

Work with your real estate agent to set a competitive price based on market analysis. Pricing your home too high can turn off potential buyers, while pricing it too low could mean losing out on money. Find that sweet spot!

With these super selling tips in your back pocket, you'll be flying off the shelves in no time. Get ready to say goodbye to your old house and hello to new adventures!

What Can Change the 'Best Time'?

Sometimes, things don't always go according to plan. Just like when you're all set to play outside, but then it starts raining! When it comes to selling your home, the 'best time' might shift because of a few reasons.

Property Sales Timing

Imagine you're at a big party, and suddenly everyone decides to leave early. That's sort of what can happen in the real estate world. If there are lots of houses for sale in your neighborhood, it might not be the best time to put yours on the market. You might want to wait until the party is hopping again!

Real Estate Peak

Have you ever noticed how the prices of things at the store can change depending on the day? Well, selling a home can be a bit like that too. During certain times of the year, more people are looking to buy houses, which can make the prices go up. So, if you're looking to sell your home for a higher price, you might want to aim for the peak times when more buyers are around.

Sell a Home

Life can be full of surprises, right? Maybe you were planning to sell your home in the spring, but then something unexpected comes up. It's like when you're about to go to your friend's birthday party, but you suddenly get sick. In those moments, you might need to change your plans and find a new 'best time' to sell your home.

Stories of Success

Have you ever wondered about people who sold their homes at just the right time and had amazing success? Let's dive into some stories of folks who made the perfect move in the Idaho real estate market!

Timing is Everything

When it comes to selling a home, timing is everything. Think about when you'll be ready to move to a new place and what season aligns with your plans. Consider if you want to take advantage of a peak real estate market or if you're willing to wait for a quieter time with less competition. The choice is yours!

List Your Priorities

Take a moment to list your priorities when it comes to selling your home. Is getting the highest price your main goal? Or maybe you're focused on selling quickly and moving on to your next adventure. Understanding what matters most to you will help you determine the best time to sell.

Consult with Experts

They can provide valuable insights into the current state of the housing market in Idaho and help you make an informed decision. Talking to professionals can give you a clearer picture of when the best time to sell might be.

Question: What is the Best Time to Sell a Home?

If you're wondering when is the perfect time to sell your home, the answer isn't set in stone. It can depend on a lot of things like the season, the market where you live, and even how quickly you need to move. Some people say spring is great, while others prefer summer or fall.
