you mentioned a naruto ghost hunter au thing a while ago and i'm curious? describe it a bit :)

OKAY WACK umm its been AGES since i read it and again, we were. BARELY into the show so my memory is probably more than a little vague. But

it's summertime, and the protagonist is our dear pal, sasuke uchiha. his lovely, heartwarming parents dip on him at the last second and decide to send him to this random town in the middle of nowhere. however, one secret of the uchiha clan, as well as their partner clan, the hyugas, as this is a modern/non ninja au thing, is that they are Ghost Hunters. they go around and Hunt Ghosts. well, basically just.. send them to the spirit realm.

they have Special Eyeballs with different abilities (sharingan/byakugan, respectively), as well as just a general natural affinity for interacting with Ghosts. there was some sort of.. system? in place?

uhh the lowest category of Ghosts was the... SPECTER! yes! specters are generally weak, and can pretty much only do the action they were doing before dying, and nothing else. they haunt their place of work or home, for the most part.

the next were the.... figures!! slightly more of an issue, they can sometimes have some powers of like.. telekinesis, iirc? theyre usually chill though unless you bother their burial/resting place.

FINALLY. the RAREST, most DANGEROUS of them all: DRAUGRS!!! these haunt the actual place of their death, and tend to be incredibly hostile as theyre.... usually. murder victims and stuff. theyve got some INTENSE powers, which vary as there are just so few of them in the world. scary tho

and so sasuke gets sent to this country town, hes a city boy soo... Yeah. but after a certain annoying blonde wouldnt stop following him around, he ends up realizing- "konoha" has an INTENSE amount of spiritual activity. like record level.

pairings were...sasuke and naruto obviously; and the second major one was actually shikamaru/neji. they got a sequel expanding on their story. background pairs were kiba and shino, gaara and lee, kakashi and iruka, choji and ino and.... kisame and itachi, which isnt my MOST favourite thing in the world now that i actually have met them and know their.. ages, but again i hadnt. met them so 😭😭 i think theyre closer in age in the thing but its still kind of. eh now that i am aware of all that.

i wont spoil too much after that, but there are a LOT of characters yeah!! including itachi being a taboo topic as per usual, and all the konoha 12, as well as gaara, kakashi, iruka, i think thats it? for main cast, anyways. the akatsuki also make an appearance, eventually. as well as some other. side characters. there was a LOT it was so long

actually i'm pretty sure this was when i first got introduced to deidara 😐 probably when he hopped into our head. most likely. Wild tbh.

STILL it had SUPER interesting world building, a lot of fun character interactions, as well as mystery oo ooo. one of my favourite things to do in my own writing, is take scenes from the original series and translate it into my fics- such as like.. ah this is hard to explain um like. a character who dies from a hit to the head in the og dying bc of a hit to the head w what makes sense in my story. but yes this one has that and its very fascinating

god i can talk so SO MUCH i apologize profusely but i.. suppose you DID ask 💀💀 please dont let my tendency to ramble deter you from speaking to me again in the future.. i can be less annoying sometimes i promise :}} but thank you again!!

til death do us part by @apprenticedmagician [requested by @leahlisabeth]

see which other fics i’m reviewing this month! / my review request post!

this is a fantastic post-canon fic which follows neil as he ropes aaron along into joining him in visiting his mother’s grave in california. this fic does a great job of demonstrating the growth that both characters have experienced.

i might just be partial to fics that deal with neil’s past and reconciling mary’s abuse with how he remembers her, but i really enjoyed ‘til death do us part’. it’s a fic that i reread semi-regularly (basically anytime i come across it on ao3). i think that you do a great job with the characterization, and this feels like a really genuine and realistic fic. it’s interesting and sad and angsty and that’s everything i look for when i want to read.

some parts that i particularly liked:

oh my gOODness of course neil went all the way to the medical university of south carolina without knowing how to get in contact with either aaron or katelyn or where to find them

”(she had never left scars though - neil had a habit of only remembering his lessons when they lingered under his skin.)” woAh this makes me shiver

”but neil was already so much of a wreck in body, mind, and soul; he didn’t care all that deeply about letting andrew know how ruined neil was without him” nooooo. as much as i hate the idea of andrew and neil having such a hard time with long-distance, it’s really fitting. for so long they have been used to being on their own and fending for themselves, that this must feel a little more normal (but worse)? their relationship has foundations on unspoken trust shared between them, care that is shown through actions instead of words, and body language, things that are so so hard to have when you’re living apart.

oo great rationalization behind choosing allison to call! also bless her for making neil check in with photos. so smart!

I LOVE THE PARAGRAPHS ABOUT HOW NEIL’S IDEA OF HOME CHANGES BASED ON WHERE ANDREW IS so softtt

i am really interested in this trump card that neil has, i’d love to see you explore what would push neil to use the identity of jackson and what he would do with it

neil, my poor baby, it’s heartbreaking to hear of him waking up from nightmares and not being able to call andrew

”wanted to cling to him and never let him leave - just the way mary used to do with neil. but neil remembered how suffocating that was… he’d never risk drowning andrew just to make him his anchor” what amazing word choice you have here, the imagery is so nice and i love hearing neil’s justification for not wanting to speak with andrew

i really like this scene with katelyn. even though i’m kind of annoyed neil being so upset with her (although this is a reread so i know her reasoning behind why she’s so worried for him) it’s understandable given the strained relationship between andrew and katelyn (and really andrew with a lot of people). i’m proud of her for asking. i imagine that it must have been scary, and rightfully so, given neil’s reaction

SIR FAT CAT MCCATTERSON VS THE CACTUS I WOULD LOVE LOVE TO SEE FANART OF THIS (and i would draw it myself but am terrible at art) what a cute idea!!!

aaron and neil dynamics are so interesting. i’m finding more and more that i really enjoy fics where they have a better relationship than in the books, because they really do have some things in common.

oh my goodness i love the phone call between andrew and aaron so much. the silence from andrew when he realises what neil has done, everything that is unsaid but understood between them, “the problem then had been that every biting remark he threw at andrew left a sting on his own body, like every cut he inflicted copied an identical twin injury on himself” what a great line

medical student aaron vs the mess of trauma and old injury and exhaustion that is neil,, yes my favourite. (i read this fic where neil teaches aaron all these medical facts that he’s learned from injuries inflicted on himself/his mother and i really livEd for that even it’s also like,,,,, woah neil are you okay there how are you alive)

katelyn is sooooo sweet! we really don’t know that much about her from the books (at least, not that i can remember), but i think your characterization is so good. in this fic you show her how good of a match she is for katelyn, not just because she is sweet, but because she supports him, loves him, reminds him that he’s not what his mother said he was

this beach scene is definitely one of my favourites in this fic. aaron’s logical approach trying to calm him “you were on the run, it would’ve been stupid to mark her grave”, calling andrew, neil holding on to aaron while on the phone, aaron carrying neil!! neil being so skinny ahhhh “andrew was going to rake him over hot coals for this” THIS SCENE IS SO GOOD

”neil almost cried again and hid his face when he saw it wasn’t andrew” oh my goodness neil, baby, makes me feel so soft. just want to wrap him up and tell him everything will be okay

dr aaron minyard has arrived and is ready to take care of neil!!! feeding him!!!!!! ahhhhh

i like that you include that aaron doesn’t feel the same way about tilda and neil feels about mary. aaron is older now and has had time to work through both his complicated relationship with his mother and with what andrew did. you did a great job exploring aaron’s thoughts around this (and also neil’s about mary, that was a good POV change)

”aaron passed him a napkin. for a horrifying moment, neil was worried he had wept without noticing but then he realized some condiments had fallen from his burger onto his pants” i love how you manage to incorporate humour into this fic!! the lightheartedness provides much needed breaks from the seriousness of the topics being dealt with and make it an easier read

ahhhh bless you for giving some much needed closure, i think we all know that that boy dearly needs it.

YES GREAT BIT ABOUT HOW AARON KNEW HE WANTED TO HAVE THE WEDDING/CEREMONY

ANDREW AND NEIL REUNION WE LOVE

i liked the switching between aaron and neil’s perspectives. i find that it helped with the storytelling and made certain scenes more understandable and fluid. aaron is such an interesting character that i’ve realised i’m drawn to fics with his POV. fanfics take him in so many directions and i really like how he has seemed to grow and mature as he has aged. it’s really easy for me to forget that in the books he was, what? 19? 20? he may come off not the greatest in the books, but he is so. young. of course he still has issues expressing his thoughts and emotions and doesn’t have good communication skills. he’s basically still a teenager and a stressed teenager at that. trying to get into med school (so needs perfect grades and to have a decent course load to get all the required credits) and playing a varsity sport and having to come to terms with the fact that your brother killed your abusive mother for you and now you have to hide your girlfriend from your brother otherwise he might kill her too and your cousin has custody of you and said brother is also dating the son of a mafia guy who is being hunted by the mafia which also has ties with the varsity sport you are playing?? and i’m not even mentioning everything???? like boy that dude has some serious repression skills but alsO if he didn’t have them i have 0 idea how he would have coped through university. anyway, enough about my thoughts on aaron minyard

this was such a wonderful fic. the interactions between ALL of the characters was great and written in a really interesting way. of course, i love love love the plot that you have. this idea of neil asking aaron to go with him to say goodbye to his mother?? you’re a genius for having come up with it! what inspired this? you broke my heart and put it back together with this fic. thank you so much for writing this!!!

Prayer

Family Focus: The O'Malley’s

Word Count: 2,220

Page count: Just over 7 pages

Brief: Now that the plague crisis is over, Hern is still adjusting to life on Gaia with knowledge of the magical. His family has gone with the village herbalist to buy a dog on Earth, leaving Hern to watch over Kyra’s dogs and wonder about how he will handle having a new dog of his own.

Hern went about his daily routine: feed the Yale, ensure that Hanon the stag is doing well and check the does to see if Hanon had been getting up to anything the night before. Clean what farm he had, eat breakfast, clean the house, chores from around the village, repeat. Usually he’d ask his children to help, but they’d been gone for about five days with their mother and the village herbalist to look for a pet dog. Domestic dogs hadn’t been found on Gaia yet, so they needed to go to Earth to see if there was an adoptable one from the few number there.

They’d been living on this planet for so long Hern himself had forgotten how things were back on Earth. He hoped well, things moved so fast there from what he remembered though. Time slowed here on Gaia. It was usually peaceful enough that he wouldn’t worry about having a dog or not. Especially in the last year or so.

Then his wife Brighid reminded him that they’d gone 20 years under a curse after their son ate the wrong berries. Recently more magical shenanigans had began appearing around the house due to faeries of all sorts deciding the farm was their playground. The pixies were the worst. Once they discovered that Yale could produce milk when they were happy and cared for rather than just for young they became insistent that they should have some as well. They’d even harassed the yale about it and broken into Hern’s store rooms to leave spilled milk everywhere in their quest for a thimble of it. Due to treaties he couldn’t hurt the Fae on his farm unless they attempted to physically harm him first, so he’d been going through a lot of salt in an attempt to passive aggressively dissuade them from messing with the farm as much.

After some time he couldn’t argue with his wife’s insistence to get a dog. If anything the biggest arguments for him were that it would help keep the children to be safe, and Bran out of trouble, and he could have help when taking care of the Yale herd or even hunting with Arkas and his nephew.

He still felt tired just thinking of trying to raise a 13 year old, a 10 year old, and a dog at the same time though. Especially when 10 year old Bran had a habit for mischief. He may look like he was in his 30s, but Hern was chronologically in his 60s. He felt he should be allowed to claim being too old for some things….if Brighid would ever let him. His bonnie wife was older than him, she probably wouldn’t. It was the 31st century though, maybe he could manage to convince her that tiredness of the soul trumped the youth of the body. She had a younger soul, that’d be his excuse.

At the sound of yipping Hern looked up from washing his dishes. The herbalist, Kyra, had left him with her two dogs so he’d get used to having canines and so she didn’t need to look for a dog sitter. He spotted the little one, a small ball of fluff with fairly impressive eyebrows around his little black eyes. He was tiny, but still a puppy. Kyra said there was a good chance he was already at his full size though, making his eyebrows and the hint of a beard all the more impressive as he looked like a small wise man. He was pretty sure she’d said his name was “Marcus Alexander”.

The small dog began to bark when he realized Hern was looking at him, running up to him and trying to climb his leg in an effort to be picked up. He didn't make it very far after he’d climbed the man’s foot. Hern chuckled and dried his hands before picking up the black and white fluff ball, the puppy barely fitting in one hand. Which it began to incessantly lick. It was an excitable thing.

“Stop tha’ please,” Hern sighed, petting the top of it's head and gently trying to pull it's face away from his wrist from the pressure of the patting. Marcus seemed to get the idea and stopped, now just talking to him in small “awooo-oo-oo”s and wagging his curly tail. Hern laughed as the pup talked continuously.

“You’d be no good for huntin’, little guy. Too noisy. A Fae’d find ya right quick and scoop ya up, let alone a bunny or deer catching wind of ya before we spot it.” The fluff with eyebrows responded with a yip. Hern chuckled and decided to bring the pup with him for his other chores. He could probably watch him while he cleaned out Brighid’s smithy. He wasn’t sure where Sweets, Kyra’s giant hound, was. Nor did he know how the hound could disappear like he did, though he did make for a better guard dog than Marcus.

After searching the house for Sweets, Hern figured the big dog could handle itself and instead carried Marcus outside to help him with cleaning the smithy. The little pup proved more useful than expected, as he was happy to carry any dirty rags to the buckets and make a big pile or to jump into beginning cobwebs, though Hern wasn’t sure if he did that on purpose or simply didn’t see the webs before trotting through them. Hern couldn’t help but laugh as he cleaned up his wife’s tools and working space, wondering how she could handle all the soot and dust. Then again he dealt with animals and their dung, so perhaps he shouldn’t question her grime of choice.

What if the dog they chose slobbered though? He would draw the line at slobbering. What if it was as much of a licker as Marcus? He watched the pup jump into a dust pile, yipping excitedly the whole while. What if the new dog was big but had the same energy as Marcus? Could he handle a teenage girl, an 10-year old boy, and an excitable bulldozer of a dog at the same time? What if it was a brand new puppy with no training whatsoever? Could he train a dog? Brighid would help him, maybe Kyra too, but how would he adjust to training a dog? How much could his children train it? How much would they have to adjust?

He was getting tired again.

As the sun reached the western sky, leaving everything in a soft orange glow of afternoon, he heard a loud, deep bark echo throughout the smithy. From the trills of the yale he figured they heard the menacing sound as well. Behind him Sweets had appeared, the black hound blending in with the shadows and staring at Hern with amber eyes that near reflected red in the afternoon sun. It stood, turning it's wolf like face towards the road leading to town, where a small group could be seen approaching.

Hern grabbed a cloth and wiped his hands as he walked up to stand next to Sweets, barely registering how the dog began to lick soot off of Marcus when the pup followed. The group up ahead had several red-headed individuals and a brunette who he recognized as Sweet and Marcus’ owner. Next to her was a 10 year old boy who stood a head shorter than her, a slightly taller young girl, and a strong, beautiful, heavy set woman who he knew could not keep her smithy clean to save her life. His family. How he missed them. His wife was even singing in her bonnie voice.

Lead her to a place,

Guide her with your grace,

To a place where she’ll be safe

In five days he’d almost forgotten how often she sang that song. He really wished she’d learn a different one. There was only so many times one could hear “A Mother’s Prayer” throughout the day. Brigid was even trying to mimic the ancient singer Celin Dion, despite her heavy Irish accent getting in her way and not lending well to mimicking a Canadian one. He was already tired.

Walking between the group was a pale golden....dog? Small fluffy deer? It was tall as far as Hern could see, almost as tall as Sweets, who’s shoulder almost matched with Hern’s elbow. Hern was 5’9”, it wasn’t a small feat for the huge dog. It even had a similar barrel-body look, despite the long thin legs. It's head was small and almost looked like a crows skull, but with a big black dog nose at the end. The hound looked as tired as Hern felt though, he already felt a kinship with it.

He and the two dogs that were with him began walking to meet the group at the front door, Kyra greeting her dogs with pets and kisses as Marcus practically lept from Hern’s side into her arms and Sweets simply silently trotted up to her and licked her hand in kind. Bran and Branwen ran up to him, both excitedly telling him all about what they’d seen back on Earth, how Branwen was so happy she didn’t have visions, all the dogs they’d seen, etc. Neither could seem to agree on a subject to stay on, either with each other or themselves. Brighid began laughing, staying by their new dog and petting it's head as it sat down to rest.

“I’m so glad you’re all home! It sounds like ya all had an adventure, but you might wanna slow down before you gobble up your own words there.” At his teasing and laughter both children stopped. Before they could begin again he quickly asked “can ya introduce me to our new family member here?” He gestured to the dog, who looked up at him with big brown eyes. It's floppy ears lifted up a bit at being acknowledged and it's breathing sped up, it's big chest heaving up and down. Hern spotted a long fluffy tail wagging behind it as well. A straight one, unlike the dogs he’d been watching for the past five days. Brighid got her word in before their children could go into, what was undoubtedly, long winded stories of how they found her and probably long tales. Knowing Bran it probably included ninjas and pirates somewhere, and knowing Branwen an amazon or a Conan the Barbarian look-alike might appear in her story.

“She’s apparently from Borzoi and Afghan lines, started breeding them together to make them more healthy. They’re hunting and sighthound breeds though, so she’ll do well on the farm and watching the kids both.” The breed sounded fancy, but then again any dog on Earth was fancy now. Even Sweets, who was technically a mutt with a scary wolf face but silly curly tail. Once his children let go of him Hern approached the dog, getting a closer look at the tall little lady. She looked young, or at least like she wasn’t particularly old, but she looked to be full grown and intelligent enough. When he knelt in front of her she even stood up, her front paws pacing slightly a few times before she stood still and pretty, her big brown eyes trained on him. He could tell that behind her tiredness was an excitement that would probably have the tall girl running if she could. She was a pretty thing, athletic looking too. When her breathing got heavier he heard Kyra laugh to the side.

“I think she’s still getting used to the oxygen levels here. Should be ok, but I’d let her get some rest for a few days until she’s used to the easier breathing.” He looked over to see her standing now, one hand on Sweets while the other was smoothing the fur between his dog’s ears. The dog calmed a bit, but she was still staring at Hern in anticipation, blinking every so often.

“She sounds like a good girl,” the golden dog barked happily, leaning over and licking his face. He’d have to train her outta that. “She got a name yet?”

“I’ve named her Prayer,” Brighid proudly proclaimed. When he shot her a look she began laughing almost maniacally. “I’m going to go make her a water and food bowel! I’ll go to town and get help making a collar and leash tomorrow!” before Hern could protest, having JUST cleaned her smithy, she was already gone and bouncing excitedly off to work. She was even loudly singing “A Mother’s Prayer” the whole way, not quite keeping in key which meant she was purposely messing with him, despite having actually named the dog after the song.

Hern sighed, sitting fully on the ground and wondering how things could go from quiet to boisterous so quickly. Prayer walked up and layed next to him, putting her long slender head in his lap. He couldn’t help but smile down at her and pet her, causing her to wag her tail again, it hitting his back like a whip. The small upturn of her lips and the excited panting she did made it hard to get upset with the hound though, and instead he simply kept petting her. It was only moments before his children were sitting on the other side of the dog, Branwen hugging her neck and Bran petting her back. Both were excitedly talking about all the trips they’d go on with the dog, dismissing their father when he warned them from breaking rules. Kyra was laughing and excused herself to head home with her dogs, leaving the small family to sit on their front lawn, petting their new dog, and discussing the children’s trip to Earth.

By the time it got dark Brighid called them in for dinner. The children ran in but Hern slowly led Prayer in, letting her relax and get used to her surroundings first, even getting her one of their nicer bowels to eat in for the night since Brighid hadn’t finished Prayer’s personal bowls. When his wife mentioned she might have bloating troubles, Hern kept an extra eye on the hound to make sure she was drinking and eating nice and slowly. He didn’t want her to hurt herself. Brighid teased him about treating the dog like a baby. By bedtime Prayer joined the kids for a bit, though eventually she found her way to Brigid and Hern’s bed, curling herself between them at the foot. Hern was beginning to see that keeping Prayer around might be less of a change than he thought, and found himself enjoying his excited hound more and more every morning.

“What Happens When The Worst Case Scenario Happens?” A UFC 221 Preview

Joey

February 5th, 2018

Oooof.

You poor dudes out there in Australia. The UFC's plan to finally put on another PPV in Australia felt like a solid enough one; bring your standard Fight Night-ish card with some bigger matchups and some title fights to make it all tie together. The original concept was easy enough to understand. You give Australia Robert Whittaker in a big title main event, find yourself a second title fight and roll with it. Unfortunately as is often the case with the UFC, the best laid plans tend to lead to things falling apart. The second fight (rumored to be Thug Rose vs Tecia Torres) fell apart and Robert Whittaker wound up contracting some kind of a super duper illness which took him out of the fight. In its place we're left with an Australian showcase card without THE big Aussie title fight to be the bow to tie everything together. Shit shit shit. This card isn't anywhere near as bad as some of the other cursed PPVs of 2016 but given what it could've been, it still hurts to see what we've got. Let's try to make the best of it, eh?

Fights: 12

Debuts: 1 (Israel Adesanya)

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 1 (Robert Whittaker OUT, Yoel Romero IN vs Luke Rockhold)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 6 (Luke Rockhold, Robert Whittaker, Mark Hunt, Jake Matthews, Jussier Formiga, Ross Pearson)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC: 3 (Ross Pearson, Mizuto Hirota, Damien Brown)

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC: 7 (Jose Quinoines, Curtis Blaydes, Li Jingliang, Alexander Volkanovski, Jeremy Kennedy, Dong Hyun Kim, Ben Nguyen)

Main Card Record Since Jan 1st 2016 (in the UFC): 17-10-2 Yoel Romero- 1-1 Luke Rockhold- 1-1 Mark Hunt- 2-1-1 Curtis Blaydes- 3-1-1 Tai Tuivasa- 1-0 Cyril Asker- 2-2 Jake Matthews- 2-2 Li Jingliang- 4-0 Tyson Pedro- 2-1 Saparbek Safarov- 0-1

Too High Up- Tai Tuivasa vs Cyril Asker

Come on, man. Come on now. Tai Tuivasa vs Cyril Asker is not a main card fight EVEN on free TV. Cyril Asker has never fought off of Fight Pass and NOW he's on PPV? NOW?! Come on. I get the argument here that Tai Tuivasa at 24 years old has all sort of upside and potential in the UFC's HW division that is starting to get itself a new collection of young big guys. This is a showcase fight----but you shouldn't make people pay 60 bucks for a friggin showcase fight especially when it's got a decent shot of falling apart on ya. Tuivasa vs a better opponent? Sure! Against Cyril Asker?! Nah, man.

Too Low- Jussier Formiga vs Ben Nguyen

Plenty of people will make the argument here for me but yeah, I get it. People don't like flyweights and they're not sold on the division and they hate the champ and etc etc etc. The point is that if you're being honest about divisional relevance and title fight qualifications, this fight is probably far closer to being something of note than any other fight on the main card besides the top two fights. Nguyen was swamped by Louis Smolka but outside of that performance he's been all action and basically all finish in the UFC. Jussier Formiga is a fine step up and an important challenger who tests whether or not somebody is truly ready for the next step up in their careers. Even if it makes some people get all butt hurt, you have to commit to giving the 125ers a chance on bigger shows.

Stat Monitor for 2018:

Debuting Fighters (Current number: 0-4): Israel Adesanya

Short Notice Fighters (Current number: 1-2): Yoel Romero

Second Fight (Current number: 2-6): Daichi Abe, Saparbek Safarov, Tai Tuivasa, Rob Wilkinson

Cage Corrosion (Current number: 4-4): Saparbek Safarov

Undefeated Fighters (Current number: 2-6): Israel Adesanya, Tai Tuivasa, Daichi Abe

Twelve Precious Ponderings

1- So given that this fight came about on short notice, how many rounds does the ageless wonder that IS Yoel Romero have in him? 2? 2-3 tops?

2- The most obvious question for me is how will Rockhold handle the athleticism that Romero possesses if it forces him to go backwards? For Rockhold the plan (to me at least) seems obvious; drag Yoel into deep and (Pirates of) dark waters after the 2nd or 3rd round, get him tired and get him down. In theory if he flattens out Romero, he can presumably pound out a tired Romero with torrential ground and pound. Getting there is the problem as Rockhold did not look overly comfortable exchanging on the feet with David Branch who is not exactly the world's best striker. Romero's quick twitch explosive offense is going to be on point in the first and second round while Rockhold's entire path to victory in my estimation is dependent upon his ability to turn those first few rounds into a slow grind en route to an eventual finish. Rockhold hasn't been the same springy athlete he was during his Strikeforce days but he's a hell of a lot stronger than he used to be and his size can drain on folks when he gets clinch happy. At the same time, Romero in the third round has proven to be a pretty damn scary fighter.

3- Do we pencil in the winner of Rockhold/Romero vs Whittaker for sometime in the summer? Robert Whittaker has suggested he expects to be healthy around then and if they cancel UFC 222 as a PPV (a possibility) then maybe the UFC goes back to Australia to try and make up for the lost PPV of March in the Summertime.

4- A lot has been made of the UFC/Mark Hunt relationship and I get it. In all fairness, they gave him a pretty tough match up here. If Curtis Blaydes can replicate what Stipe Miocic did, he's got a good chance to spoil this Aussie partay with Mark Hunt at the helm. Outside of Stipe, Hunt's takedown defense has held up pretty well but he can still be stalled and neutralized against the cage.

5- There's been a better version of Curtis Blaydes each time he takes to the cage even if his striking still remains at times too wild for its own good and his submission game doesn't seem to be developing much. Even if his confidence comes and goes, Blaydes will likely be his best yet vs Mark Hunt. Whether that's good enough to beat Hunt remains the question.

6- You can almost view the final three fights on the main card as the usual progression of Australian prospects:

Tai Tuivasa- "Oh man we've got a new guy! He's Australian and he looks good! Did you see how he finished that last fight?!"

Tyson Pedro- "Okay so he lost but there's no reason to give up on him just yet. Let's give him a wee bit of a step back and see if he can handle that. If he wins then we're back on course!"

Jake Matthews- "Well we're stuck with him so we might as well figure out what to do with him."

7- That Li Jingliang vs Jake Matthews match is pretty damn interesting if we're being honest for a second or two. He's got four straight wins, three by finish, against relatively okay competition. The likes of Zak Ottow and Frank Camacho have proven their worth as exciting middle of the pack type guys so we at least know he can beat average. While I don't know if Jake Matthews is better than average, I do know that stylistically he'll present a few challenges for The Leech. For starters, Li Jingliang's main slip up came against Keita Nakamura. Matthews and Nakamura do share some similarities; primarily in the way that both are heavy grappling types who seem to excel in those gas out fights where everybody is tired. Nakamura is the more seasoned grappler and better at subs (ask The Leech) but Matthews tends to be more active with top control. It's one of those ugly stylistic challenges that Li Jingliang will have to get by if he wants to be able to have a justifiable case at a top 10 spot in the WW division.

8-Who thinks it's a good idea for Teruto Ishihara to drop down to 135 lbs? That seems really reckless?

9- Alexander Volkanovski vs Jeremy Kennedy is one of those fights that's really hard to get excited about even if you acknowledge that it's a pretty fine fight on paper. Both guys are so similar that this has "Stall against the fence" stamped on it. It's a great fight between two unbeaten prospects at 145 lbs BUT it's just tough to muster up any real excitement given what it presents to be on paper.

10- I'm at that weird spot with Ross Pearson where I don't want to see him take any damage and leave the way he's left before but I also don't want to see him to win and potential incur more damage down the road. All of Ross Pearson's fights recently (since the Felder win at least), FEEL the same. The spirit is still willing and he has flashes of moments where he's in control but he just no longer has the athletic quicks and he doesn't respond to strikes the way you feel like he should. He's in that weird Gray Maynard class where the fighter he once was is gone but the fighter he remains is competitive enough to the point where he's always going to believe he's one win away from rediscovering it.

11- Can Israel Adesanya do what Gokhan Saki did and put a jolt in the UFC?

12- Someone sell me on Daichi Abe, por favor.

Must Win

1- Curtis Blaydes

As long as Mark Hunt is suing the UFC, he's probably got a job. Just one of those weird "nature of the biz" type deals. Since November we've seen plenty of prospects get pushed to the back of line by virtue of disappointing losses (Albini to Arlovski, Golm to Johnson, Sherman to Abdurahimov and I suppose if one tried hard enough, Ngannou to Miocic). That leaves Curtis Blaydes as one of the few left standing who has some steam behind him. Blaydes HAS the ability to be a top 10 HW, of that I have no doubt. Because it's the big dude division, he's taking an absurd jump up from Olenik to Mark Hunt in Australia. Good luck, dude.

2- Ben Nguyen

Let's briefly recap some Jussier Formiga stats:

Lost to Dodson- Dodson got a title shot. Lost to Benavidez- Immediate title shot for Jobi Wan. Lost to Cejudo- Cejudo gets a title shot Lost to Ray Borg- Borg gets a title shot.

Beating Formiga is the gateway to title town (or a gateway to getting smoked by Mighty Mouse) and so if Nguyen wants to be join Mark Hunt and Robert Whittaker as proud adopted Aussies fighting for the title, he's gotta pick up the win here.

3- Li Jingliang

I could go for Jake Matthews here as well. With the UFC making significant progress in China, Li Jingliang should in theory be on the come up. He's the best fighter out of China currently and fights in a division where if you haven't fought one of the top 5 guys yet, there's substantial progress to be made.

Five Can't Miss Fights

1- Yoel Romero vs Luke Rockhold

2- Teruto Ishihara vs Jose Quinones

3- Rob Wilkinson vs Israel Adesanyna

4- Dong Hyun Kim vs Damien Brown

5- Ben Nguyen vs Jussier Formiga

Rain

It was deep in the woods.

Two small Furies were huddled against a tree in the pouring rain, shivering and trying to stay warm.

One had a fresh wound on the right side of her face, while her sister gently licked said wound, trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, sis, we got away from them, at least!" One squeaked, trying to put on a brave grin. "Did you see the bite mark I left in that ugly one's leg? That... was good right?"

The injured one barely reacted, still trying to hide her fresh injury and whimpering.

Her sister continued to try to cheer her up, but nothing was working and she knew this was bad. "C'mon, nothing can be hopeless. We'll find a way out of this, and... and we'll... we'll live. Your face will be okay, and..." She drooped, flopping down on her belly with a whimper. "I guess things won't be okay... We're gonna die out here, aren't we."

"Probably." The injured one whispered. "Who's gonna take care of us? We can't even hunt. I can barely see you. It's cold, and night will come soon." She sounded scared, but accepting. "It can't be okay."

They huddled up together again, with the older still keeping watch and trying to keep up hope, but knowing there wasn't much they could do. Her sister was injured, badly, and they were starving and freezing.

They were two hatchlings barely four months old, and they'd barely even started learning to fly. They'd never even met their parents, never mind had any experience living in the wild.

She started to fall asleep when she heard a soft crack. Her ears perked up, and she looked around. She glanced at her sister and saw that she was asleep, and her wound looked worse.

She heard another soft noise through the sprinkle of rain and the rush of wind through the trees. The little Fury immediately stood up and tried to make herself look as big and threatening as possible, moving to protect her little sister. She looked like an angry kitten.

"Don't nothing try and hurt my little sister! You'll regret it! I'll mess you up!" She growled.

She saw a pair of green eyes turn to look at her in the darkness, and shrunk with a squeak.

"B-back off! I'm stronger than I look!" She snarled.

Muted footsteps as something crept toward her made her begin to quiver, but she held her ground and bared her tiny teeth.

A dark figure was soon towering over her, double her height even bending down somewhat.

It looked like a Fury, but not. It seemed to have wings... She stared up at the thing, confused more than anything.

"P-please don't hurt us..." She whined.

The weird face of the creature tilted slightly to one side as if curious, then it began reaching a paw out.

The little Fury immediately began snarling, but she was terrified. The paw reached for her sister.

"No-no! Don't touch her! She's hurt!"

She tried to attack the strange creature, but it easily held her back with one hand while it picked up her injured sister.

"No, no, please!" She tried to hurt the creature, but nothing seemed to get through it's strange scaled skin.

The creature gently sat down and held her sister in its lap, and began to hum. She paused, startled and scared.

I have no intention of harming either of you.

The voice seemed to come from all around her, and she realized she'd been missing whatever it had been saying in her panic.

"You're... not? Wha-"

She warbled, more confused than ever.

No, I intend to help. It's alright.

The creature placed a hand gently on her little sister and began to hum again, a soft purple-blue glow going from its paw into her sister's wound. She watched as the skin and scales looked better by the second. But it stopped after a moment, seeming to hesitate.

"What, aren't you gonna finish?"

She asked the creature, confused.

Her wound is infected. She needs more than I can do with just magic. I will bring you to a safer place and help her there. Come.

The creature stood, still gently holding her sister, and she had not much choice. So she followed him.

She awoke who knows how much later somewhere warm and comforting. Much better than the tree and the rain.

It took her a moment to remember everything and she sprang to her paws, looking around wildly. She was greeted by a warm fire, and her sister sleeping peacefully by it. She had something on her face that hid her injured eye. The dark figure was nearby, watching them, and she got a good look at him for the first time.

The little Fury stared at his strange appearance with wide eyes, taking in the fact that he looked very human shaped, but was covered in dragon scales and had wings.

Ah, you're awake. Sleep well?

"I guess so. Who are you anyway? Are you a dragon?" She asked him.

No. I'm not. Are you hungry? I caught some food.

She immediately ignored his dodgy answer when he mentioned food, her stomach was very, very empty. "Yes please."

He chuckled aloud at the growl of her stomach and held out a fish for her in one of his weird paws and she grabbed it, hungrily eating it down.

While she ate, he walked over to her sister and began to pull off the weird cover on her face, and she stared in interest and concern.

"What is that?" She squeaked. "What'd you do to her face?"

Just a little trick I picked up over the years. Helps with infection. He explained, looking at her injury intently.

"How do you do that?" She continued to ask. "Why do I hear a voice but not from you?"

He laughed softly, amused. You hear what I want you to hear. I can talk into your mind, little one.

"That's weird."

I suppose it is.

"What's your name?"

The creature paused, glancing up at her with that weird face of his.

Call me Indigo.

"Your name is a color? That's not a dragon thing or a human thing."

I am neither human nor dragon.

"So, Indigo."

Yes.

A long pause as Indigo worked, gently working to heal the little Fury in front of him. She'd never seen anything be so gentle and tender in her life. She didn't understand what he was doing, but for some reason, she trusted he was indeed helping.

Just a hunch.

Her sister began to stir for the first time in a while, stretching drowsily and beginning to paw at her face. Indigo very gently kept the weird face cover on, and she looked up at him and froze.

"Uhhhh..." She squeaked.

No need to be afraid. You're safe.

The older Fury bounded over to her sister and gave her a nuzzle. "It's okay. He's friendly. Weird, but friendly."

The younger Fury still looked nervous, but nodded. "Okay."

Indigo then perked up slightly, as if he heard something. The two watched as he stood and smoothly moved to the entrance of the small cave they'd been in, peering out.

Here. I'm here. I found two very young hatchlings. Sorry for worrying you.

It took them a moment to realize he wasn't talking to them. Another couple Furies, fully grown, landed outside the cave. Before they knew it, they were being taken off on a journey to Indigo's home, riding on one of the Furies' back with him. He made sure they didn't fall, and chuckled when they ooed and awed at the view.

Indigo's home ended up being different than the two little Furies imagined, and they were soon surrounded by their own kind, Furies of all ages and sizes, even a few their own age. They all welcomed the sisters with warm smiles and happy warbles. They ended up staying with Indigo in his room for a while, until he found a Fury who would look after them as they grew up.

One evening, Indigo was sitting at what he called a desk, doing something they didn't understand, and the two sisters were relaxing.

"So, Indigo?" The older sister walked up and nudged his leg, causing him to pause what he was doing and look down at her.

Yes?

"We were talking, and everyone here seems to have names. We don't have any. Would you give us names?" She asked him.

The younger, who was dozing on the stone floor, looked up. "That sounds nice. We've just called each other sister forever. It'd be nice to have names."

I figured you didn't have any. I just didn't want to force any names onto you. A name is an important thing. A part of you.

"Yeah, we'd love names!" The older squeaked with a wiggle.

Indigo stood up from his chair and kneeled on the floor, motioning for them both to come closer. They sat side by side, staring up at him. For the first time since they'd met him, he took off the fake face he wore and they saw his actual face.

I figure it would be more appropriate if you can see my face.

The younger whimpered slightly and the older shrunk slightly, but Indigo didn't seem bothered. The older noted the fire on his head and was confused.

Yes, I know I'm ugly. Don't worry. Besides the point for now.

He smiled softly at them.

Now, names.

He seemed thoughtful, and the two shared a glance, excited again.

"Yeah, names!" The older gave Indigo a gummy grin.

He pointed to the older.

You're full of energy and spunk. A fighter who will always bounce back. Bouncy. Your name is Bouncy.

Bouncy puffed up with immediate pride, and started jumping around. "Bouncy! I'm Bouncy!"

Indigo put a paw to his face in thought, staring down at the younger.

"Lemme guess, lost eye?" She murmured, shrinking.

Indigo immediately frowned, eyes filling with sadness and shaking his head.

No. Never. You're a beautiful little Fury, and such a name would never fit you.

She perked a little at being called beautiful, glancing up at him. He remained thoughtful, and she waited, watching as he hummed softly.

Scoot. Because you just keep scooting along. You're a fighter too. Just a little more of the patient and steady kind.

He smiled widely and they saw that he had actual fangs. His eyes were full of gentle affection and genuine care for them. He was scary and weird, but also great.

Bouncy grinned again, walking over and curling up next to him. "Thanks, Indigo."

Scoot joined in, nuzzling her small head against him. "Yeah, thank you."

Bouncy could have sworn she heard the quiet sound of a sob from Indigo, but she couldn't be sure.

You're very welcome. Right. Now, I was talking to the others, and there's this sweet Fury named Song who'd love to take care of you two. I'll introduce you to her tomorrow.

The sisters exchanged an excited look. They would have a mom!

For now, get some rest. I have some things to do. I'll see you in the morning.

They watched as he put his fake face back on and turned to leave. He gave them a little wave as he did so, closing the door to his room as he left.

The sisters curled up together and fell asleep, hopeful for their future in this new safe home.

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN [Tsukinami Shin - Dark Epilogue]

Please note, I do not allow my translations to be taken elsewhere, nor do I wish for them to be used as a base for another Language.

Cannon’s note before you start:

エンデツァイト / Endezaito / Endezeit > Spoiler from Dark Fate > The disease Carla is suffering from

ローティゲンベルグ / Rotigenberg - Where the Ghouls reside

Place: Kino - Abode

Kino: A summon from Shin to me, huh... ...

The Originators are eminent beings.

Yuuri: ... ... will you be going?

Kino: Of course, I’ll go.

But... ... I wonder what kind of conversation it’ll be... ...?

Kino: Fufu... ...

Just thinking about it gets me excited... ...

Yuuri: --the place is Kaminashi Tower.

To arrive by 23:00.

Kino: Hmm... ...

Then, I’ll just go by myself.

Yuuri: ... ... ... ...!

No, I will accompany you as well.

Kino: It’ll be alright so don’t worry.

Kino: If it was Carla then...

There’s no way I’d lose to someone like Shin?

Yuuri: ... ... ... ...

... ... I understood.

Place: Kaminashi Tower - Emergency Stairs

Shin: ... ... ... ...

Kino: Yaa, you’re early.

Did you want to meet me that much?

Shin: ... ... that witty mouth of yours, you can’t anything about it?

Kino: Oo, how scary... ...

Kino: Hey hey, is that maybe a notice or something from the Originators to stop the Demon Hunt?

Shin: It’s not something like that.

Just... ... wanted to know why you’re hunting demons.

Kino: Eeh? Why do I have to tell you something like that?

Shin: Not just taking out the demons in the Demon World, but... ...

Shin: To take out the demons in the Human World as well, you must have a reason don’t you?

Kino: Hee... ... you, I thought you were some idiot but you’re actually pretty smart.

Shin: ... ... !

Shin: ( He’s really someone that gets on your nerves... ... )

Shin: ( But, if I snap now I won’t able to get any information. And that’s, troublesome-- )

Shin: ... ...so? Tell me the reason.

Kino: Ye-ah-... ...

It’s going to be found out soon anyway so let’s just talk about it now.

Kino: The Demon Hunt in the Human World is... ...

--a request from the Church.

Shin: ... ... !

Kino: The demons spreading around the Human World isn’t interesting, they say.

Shin: Haha, I see... ...!

Shin: And by killing the demons in the Human World like that... ... you plan to become the only demon in the Human World.

Kino: Ahaha... ... that’s right.

Kino: The Ghouls that I’m leading are being forced to live in discomfort in Rotigenberg.

Kino: To release... prejudice or that kind of restraints... ...

This Human World is the most suitable.

Kino: Don’t you as well, think so?

Shin: ... ... however, when you appeared in front of us you didn’t say a word about that.

Kino: Because at that moment I thought that I had to do something in the Underworld.

Kino: And when I talked with the Church later... ...

It became like this.

Shin: Tche... ... shady.

Kino: How mean... ...

I’m genuinely giving it my best... ...

Shin: --well, it’s fine.

I already got what I wanted.

Later.

*Shin walking away*

Kino: ... ... is that okay?

*Step*

Shin: About what?

Kino: So, you can only carry out what your Brother commands you?

Kino: More... ... with your own head, don’t you need to think about the best way possible?

Shin: ... ... you, do you want to anger me?

Kino: Don’t get upset so seriously.

It’s obviously a joke?

Kino: I have, a suggestion.

--do you want to, team up with me?

Shin: Haa... ...?

Kino: We, can help you out.

And in turn--

Kino: When you guys take over the Underworld we won’t touch the Humn World.

... ... how about it, with that condition.

Shin: Don’t say something stupid.

We Originators, won’t pair up with any other races.

Kino: Ahaha, what a fast reply!

... ... but, I want to ask the King of Originator first.

Shin: You, don’t have any merits to pair with us.

Shin: Don't you already know, that there aren’t that many survivors of us, Originators?

Kino: Of course. But the strong magic powers of you, Originators are appealing to me.

Kino: And... ... rather don’t you think that teaming up with others than you guys would be profitless?

Shin: ... ... anyways, I’m done.

I’m going back.

*Shin walks away*

Shin: ( Smooth talking about things... ... )

Shin: When I get back, I have to report to Nii-san--

Place: Sakamaki House Living Room

Yui: ( Relying on them now I think is a bit... ... )

Yui: ( And still I couldn’t stay still, so I ended up coming here... ... )

Ayato: Hee... ... isn’t this a rare guest!

Laito: Bitch-chan... ...

Did you want to come and meet me... ...?

Reiji: What did you come here for?

Yui: Reiji-san... ...

I do think that this is a shameless request, but... ...

Yui: Do you know anything about Endezeit?

I would like you to tell me.

Reiji: That is certainly shameless.

Yui: ( Uu... ... as I thought... ... )

Reiji: ... ... well it will be fine.

As a matter of fact, I do have something--

Reiji: I was looking through Father’s Laboratory.

Then... ... this.

*Unfolding sound*

Yui: A Research Book?

Reiji: Yes. It’s about Endezeit.

*Paper flip*

Yui: ( I, I can’t read it at all... ... )

( Exactly what language, is this written in. )

Reiji: Can you, not read it?

Yui: ( Reiji-san’s eyes are cold... ... )

Reiji: I cannot be helped.

... ... please lend it here.

*Takes and flips paper*

Monologue:

Firstly, Reiji-san told me about the disease called Endezeit.

When you are infected with Endezeit, bruise like blotches will appear on your body approximately from within the first month of being infected--

After that, something like tuberculosis for Humans will shortly follow.

And, finally the body will undergo necrosis, and become unable to move... ... it is said to be a very horrible disease.

And--Endezeit is a disease only Originators can catch.

The cause catching the disease, seems to be related to the deepness of the blood but... ... Even with Karlheinz-san’s Study, it wasn’t written in detail.

Yui: ... ... thank you very much.

Yui: ( Carla-san’s body will undergo necrosis in some time... ... )

Yui: ( What do I have to do. )

Yui: ... ... Reiji-san.

This book... ... would if be okay if I borrow it for a while?

Reiji: I do not mind... ... however--

Reiji: ... ... do you have any intentions, of coming back here?

Yui: Eh.. ...?

Reiji: To say the truth, Subaru’s mental condition is unstable and... ...

Reiji: It is difficult to control his powers.

Reiji: I thought that if you were here somewhat could change but--

Yui: ( Subaru-kun... ... )

( That’s how it was... ... )

Yui: ( But, I can’t get separated from Shin-kun’s side right now. )

Yui: ... ... I’m sorry.

Reiji: Well, I thought you would say so.

Reiji: ... ... if you change your mind, please, at any time. You will be welcomed.

Yui: Thank you very much for everything.

... ... then.

Yui: ( But still... ... to think that Reiji-san would say something like that. )

Yui: ( Subaru-kun, it must be very hard. )

bro he is BARELY hanging on

OH M Y GOD HE RIPPED IT OFF

and she's dead so the visions stopped

"i'm mad at everything" oh poor guy

listen he got like no autonomy ever, he gets to be like this

poor selfless idiot

Dean do nOT BURY IT

THAT I S HOW YOU END UP LIKE MARTIN

YOU FUCKERS ARE TERRIBLE FOR EACH OTHER

ok so

1. Dean. Dean hides everything, he absorbs it, he keeps going because that's what he was taught to do

2. Sam. Sam's anger driven, and emotional, and more importantly, gets so little choice in anything, and is always just Fucked. good exploration of this dynamic, but unfortunately, it got written of as "eh it'll be fine," which strangely enough I don't think this was the point.

3. hunting BAD. Like this was very clearly a "how hunting fucks you up" thing, or how you have to be fucked up to do it, and how they'll end up crazy like that. Like this is so much Not Escapism I'm so confused by the message, it was a different writer probably.

4. ok but like cinematpgraphy was good and parts of this were like...ironically funny

5. the baddy was fun! like obvious but her villain speech was good, she was scary, there was logic for the crazy brain even! it was cool!

#pawswatchesspn #5x11 Sam interrupted #it was a very good episode #I just think it maybe muddled it's message?

What day would you consider the best day of your life? Why? I spent the longest time on this question only to decide not to give an answer. I don’t know, all my ‘best’ days have always been stained with something bad in between. I guess the closest to being the best is the night I got accepted to UP. That was a feeling I haven’t gotten to emulate ever since, but even then, I had a meh day for the most part and even cried in the afternoon. Do you listen to music simply for the melody or for the lyrics? Either. Whatever I’m more drawn to for a certain song. Is there a song out there that reminds you of a certain ex? Not really other than a local song by a local band. It’s called Oo by Up Dharma Down. Are you addicted to anything dangerous? What exactly is that? Making myself feel like shit and never giving myself a break from anything. Do you faint at the sight of blood? Have you always been like that? Not faint, but I get squeamish. I easily get light-headed, yes.

Would you ever consider becoming a prostitute or stripper? Not me, but that’s just my choice. I wouldn’t criticize someone doing it for a living either. Who would you consider your favorite stand-up comedian? I’m not really into standup comedy. Has anyone ever mistaken you for a certain stereotype? I don’t think so. When I stepped into university people weren’t quick to cast stereotypes on me or my blockmates. They were very open, so instead of being like, “Oh I thought people from your high school were so and so...” they asked me how it was being in my high school and were also eager to hear about my experiences there. I also haven’t had a bad stereotyping experience when it comes to being Asian or Filipino. What is the most visited website on your Internet window? I don’t check but maybe YouTube or Facebook. Do you like the daytime or the nighttime better? Why is this? Nighttime. Just a preference. What was the first horror movie you ever saw? How old were you? No clue. It’s among Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist, or The Ring. I watched all around the same period and I’ve forgotten which came first. Would you say you're too experienced or too unexperienced for your age? Unexperienced. I’m painfully shy - I haven’t joined or tried out for a lot of things plus I’m also so scared of making mistakes that I avoid stuff I might fail in, so I’ve ended up missing out on a lot. Do you normally like the dreams you have at night? Why? I don’t remember having one that I really enjoyed. The ones that stay with me are the bad dreams; and the other ones I forget immediately after waking up. Have you ever given up on someone completely before? It happens. What is the color or your favorite hoodie at the time being? I don’t wear hoodies anymore. Do you avoid the past of most people you meet? No, I don’t see why that’s necessary. If they’re open to tell me about it, I’d listen. Do you always try to make a good first impression with people? At first I used to not care, but I do try now. How many windows are in the room you're in, if there are any? It’s two big ones, but when each window is counted individually it comes up to eight. Do you always voice your opinion to random people? Well certainly not to random people, but I’m vocal around people I know. Are you related to the person you last talked to on the telephone? Nope. But come to think about it Gab and I are very very distantly related and I love teasing her about it lol. Is your hair bad for getting static electricity in it, or not so much? I don’t mess with anything electricity in the first place, so I wouldn’t know. What is your favorite holiday of all-time? Why is this? Not really a holiday but I always look forward to Halloween because I love horror. Do you think freshman are too immature most of the time? Some of them can be. Most are just too eager to feel grown up. What is your favorite neon color? Ever buy nail polish that color? I’m not into neons and I don’t use nail polish. Have you ever eaten a cotton ball before? What was it like? Why would anyone willingly eat a cotton ball.....that might even get caught in your throat?? Do you actually like the cell phone you have, or not so much?

I type fast, so it happens. What is your favorite international food? Why is it your favorite? I love anything Indian. It’s so diverse and they use lots of spices and it’s a different taste compared to Philippine cuisine, so I’ve learned to appreciate it much more than any other kind of food. Do you eat fast food too much for your health, or not so much? LOL probably. What is the color of the shirt you're currently wearing? Black. How old are you and what is your birthday? I was born on April 21st 1998, which makes me 19. Do you fully understand what it takes to be a best friend to someone? It’s different for everyone, since there’s no formula to being the best best friend. As for my case, yes I guess so. I’ve been best friends with one for 12 years and the other for 5, so I must be doing something right. Do you go to amusement parks a lot or not so much? Definitely not so much because I can’t go on rides anyway.

Hi everyone! Sorry for my absence lately, summer has been very busy for me! But I’m getting closer and closer to finishing all the worldbuilding for this story so that I can start on the actual chapters.

These are the main characters for the Alpine Clans, and the ‘founders’, so to say. Below the cut a description of them all!

He's brave, but sometimes a bit too reckless. Genotype: AA BB CC DD LL McMc oY ss TaTa Hawk - A silver long-haired molly with lilac classic tabby stripes and white feet, tailtip and chest, and green eyes, a British Longhair.

Genotype: AA bb CC DD ll mcmc OO ss SpSp Ww Ripple - A chocolate smoke tom with wavy fur and a white throat, blaze and belly, and golden eyes, a Cornish Rex.
