TRACK 01. Espresso (orig. by SABRINA CARPENTER) is a funk-pop English song written by Nari and produced by Julian Bunetta. On Genius, she explains that she compares herself to coffee to emphasize how energetic her partner gets with her. The lyrics further explain that she can get the guy— any guy— and she is this person’s dream come true. Nari references pop culture with Nintendo and Mountain Dew in this song.

TRACK 02. Melting (orig. by KALI UCHIS) is a dreamy love song written by Nari and Kino and produced by IO and Diplo. The song details falling in love with someone who makes you lose all your worries.

TRACK 03. Rooftop * (orig. by YOOA) is a hip-hop dance number with addictive string sounds and the booming percussion sound of an 808 bass written by Nari and Ryder Kim, produced by Jimmi. On Genius, Nari states, “Rooftop compares the line between reality and dreams to a rooftop— and a bird in the cage represents being stuck, and the bird wants to fly away and be free.”

TRACK 04. Kitty Cat * (orig. by JULIE of KISS OF LIFE) is a hip-hop based pop genre song composed of both vocals and rap. It’s written by Nari and Jennie, produced by IO. The song defies society’s expectations that a woman should be tame and submissive, and Nari is exactly the opposite. The lyrics further that while it may she like she has everything, she feels unloved and feels objectified and controlled by those around her. The societal “gaze” becomes too much for her to handle, and she just wants to break free from everyone’s expectations.

TRACK 05. Nothing (orig. by KISS OF LIFE) is a medium-tempo R&B song inspired by the 2000s written by Nari and Lainey, produced by Sade. The song is about a love reaching its end, a love that changed and the lack of emotion in the relationship.

TRACK 06. Sugar Rush (orig. by BIBI) is a playful and empowering anthem with upbeat R&B pop with a sparse hip-hop beat. It’s written by Nari and Pink Slip and was produced by Pink Slip and inverness. The song emphasizes Nari’s allure and charm while also warning those who try to take advantage. This song in particular is popular for its lyrics, hidden meaning in lyrics and surprise guest appearances by the rest of BLACKPINK in the music video.

TRACK 07. Don’t Let Me Go (ft. GIRIBOY) (orig. by JEON SOMI & GIRIBOY) is an upbeat song with a catchy whistle tune and smooth rapping featuring K-rapper and producer, GIRIBOY. The song discusses the need to be with the one you love.

TRACK 08. Teenager in Love (orig. by MADISON BEER) is a doo-wop pop song written by Nari and One Love, produced by One Love. The song references Dion and the Belmonts’ 1959 song “A Teenager in Love”. The original is about

TRACK 09. Feeling Lucky (ft. Jackson Wang) (orig. by BIBI, JACKSON WANG) is an all English sultry pop song written Kurtis Wells, Aldae & ABSOLUTELY and produced by Aldae and Kurtis Wells. The song is about a mutual attraction and the thrilling dynamics of a romantic relationship. It is the only song not written by Nari on the album.

HIGHLIGHTS

Espresso was released first as a surprise with one teaser announced on social media on May 6th, 2024 at 12AM KST. The song was an English pre-release single.

The music video for Espresso had 76 million views in the first 24 hours. It debuted at #1 on Worldwide iTunes Songs Chart, as well as charting #1 on Bugs and Genie, #3 on MelOn, and #94 on Flo. On all music platforms, the single cover was what captured many attention.

Melting was soon announced with teasers posted on May 8th, 2024. It received over 200k pre-orders in the first 24 hours and within two weeks, it had 1.5million pre-orders.

There are two versions of the album, HEART and FACE.

Melting was released across all platforms on May 27th, 2024. All songs charted in the top 100 across Bugs, Genie, and MelOn. Rooftop debuted at #97 on Flo. The track Sugar Rush was banned from music shows.

Rooftop gained 59 million views within 24 hours, debuting at #1 on Bugs and Genie, #2 on MelOn and #97 on Flo. Nari promoted Rooftop on Korean music shows for two weeks, gaining seven music show wins during the time but in total had eleven wins for the song and performed Kitty Cat three times.

Nari promoted Espresso first, after she went to the Met Gala. She performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

She also went on Genius Verified to explain the lyrics, along with Wired! for Nari Answers the Web’s Most Searched Questions.

She was super excited to do the Puppy Interview with Buzzfeed, she even posted a selfie teaser before the video and some videos on her Instagram once the video was out.

When promoting in Korea, she made sure to go on a lot of variety shows, mostly because she never got the chance before.

She went on Jaefriends, Knowing Bros, Let’s Eat, XYOB, The K-Star Next Door with Jonathan, D&E’s Wanna Come Here, PSICK Show, and The Killing Voice. She really enjoyed being on all of them, making sure to show her appreciation for being invited.

Nari explained on Genius Verified about Teenager in Love, “It’s not about anyone you know.”

VIE Entertainment (Nari) posted a live performance and dance practice for Espresso, Rooftop, and Kitty Cat on YouTube. Along with a lot of vlogs after the era was over, including her GRWM video for the Met Gala (which was posted before), preparing for her comeback, videos of her in the studio, etc.

She also opened her own TikTok account and began posting dance challenges with other idols, along with current trending challenges. She was the first idol Jennie did the Spot challenge with, and likewise for Espresso and Rooftop.

On social media, BLINKs were more ruthless than ever with getting rid of hate posts. VIE Entertainment also had to post a statement about taking legal action against malicious posts.

If she knew anything about said malicious posts, she never spoke out against them or seemed down at any point.

Not once did Nari answer any questions about Jungkook if she was asked by a reporter who couldn’t get the memo, known for either staring at them in silence until they changed the topic or laughing and ignoring them. But everyone knew they were still together as it somehow got out that she went to visit him.

Each time she went somewhere to a known schedule, she had multiple bodyguards with her just in case. And even for her just being out, she had bodyguards with her, no matter what. Which a lot of BLINKs (and Nari’s circle) were glad for.

All in all, it was a really good surprise comeback for Nari.

For the könig prompts number 17

76 kiss prompts ft. König ⇨ #17 “Needing to kiss to hide from bad guys” kiss

⇨ prompt masterlist

short cute drabble (713 words), no warnings, written with f!reader in mind

You've always wanted to visit Berlin, but you didn't expect your first visit to be an undercover mission. Looking up at König you smiled. At least you had him here. You knew the only reason he went with you was the fact he spoke German, but you couldn’t be happier. You wanted to ask him out for a long time but was never sure if he felt the same, he was never really sharing much about him or what he thought in general. 

You've always wanted to visit Berlin, but you didn't expect your first visit to be an undercover mission. Looking up at König you smiled. At least you had him here. You knew the only reason he went with you was the fact he spoke German, but you couldn’t be happier. You wanted to ask him out for a long time but was never sure if he felt the same, he was never really sharing much about him or what he thought in general. 

"Pst!" He let out and pointed towards one of the tables outside the cafe you were at. "That's him." 

Trying not to be too obvious, you landed your eyes on the man for a split second before turning your head away, casually looking at some random couple next to you. It was him, the right hand of the drug leader you were after. You didn't expect the leader himself to just sit at a cafe but locate his closest worker so fast? Huge success. 

"We can't let him disappear," you whispered and waved at the waitress to pay for what you ordered. 

"We can't let him know mainly. In the slightest." König nodded and rubbed his forehead. "Scheiße…"

With the corner of your eye you notice one of his bodyguards pointing towards you and laughing. By the look on König's face, you knew he felt the same uneasy feeling as you. 

"There's tons of people around us," you whispered. "They probably don't even know we are here."

Swallowing hard as you saw the man not break eye contact with you for some reason, König paid for the order and the two of you pretended to leave. Stopping right around the corner, you sighed out in relief realizing they were not following you at all. 'More likely just coincidence', you thought to yourself. ‘They weren’t even staring at us, they were staring through us.’

"We have to let Lt. know about it as soon as possible," König said and searched for his phone. Special phone you and him got for the mission. It couldn't be tracked nor hacked. 

Hearing men chatting getting closer, you peaked out and saw your man walking in your direction. Their hands in pockets and serious look on their faces, you immediately imagined they recognized you or knew you weren’t ordinary cafe customers, holding the triggers on their guns you were sure were in all of their pockets.

You dug your elbow into König's stomach repeatedly, hissing urgently: "They're coming! We have to go!"

Running away would be suspicious, as suspicious as looking at them at the table and then staying around the corner. You felt the panic growing inside of you but you were still calm, for now. König remained silent the whole time, letting you dig into his stomach, only his eyes widened. What to do? What to do?!

Both of you could hear their footsteps as they got really close to the corner you were at. You felt like you weren't able to hold it together much longer, but König grabbed your shoulder and turned you around, shoving you against the wall and covering you whole with his large frame. Before you could let out any kind of noise, his lips were pressed against yours. Closing your eyes and responding to the kiss, you heard the men passing right by you. You should've been worried but you were drowning in the kiss, wanting more. You felt his large hands going up your waist slowly, his tongue playfully tickling your lips. You were hungry for his lips, forgetting about the world around you, until a loud chuckle from behind König woke you up.

"Leave some for the bedroom, will ya?" The man said and waved his hand at you two, his bodyguards laughing. 

You were so lost, did he have no idea? Did he really just joke like that? Did he just pass by, armed, and didn't do anything? 

"Mache ich gerne," König looked back at them and smirked, watching them walk away still laughing.

"Why are we wasting time then?" You said and were met with his surprised face.

"So you do know some german," he pushed you forward, heading towards the place you were both staying. "Lt. can wait a few more minutes.”

🖤🗝️Friendliness

Sal Fisher x fem reader PART ONE

Feel free to send requests (NO NSFW)

Your phone blared in your ear, informing you that it was time to wake up. You begrudgingly got up from your bed and dragged yourself to the bathroom to get ready. It had been a few months since you moved to Nockfell, and they weren’t anything special. You had spent most of your summer days locked in your room, mourning the loss of your childhood friends, school, and home. Today was the first day of your sophomore year at Nockfell High School, and you were definitely not excited. As you got ready, your chest filled with more and more dread of what was to come in the day ahead of you.

“Morning, sweet pea.” Your mother said with a bright smile. How was she always so chipper in the mornings? Must be all that coffee.

“Morning, Ma.” You replied sleepily, grabbing a cereal bar from the pantry. You didn’t exactly feel like talking, but you knew she’d figure something was wrong if you didn’t make conversation.

“Excited?” She asked curiously, taking a sip of her coffee.

You shook your head slowly, shoving the cereal bar into your mouth hungrily. Why should you be excited? It’s not like you’d make any friends on the first day.

“I’m sure it won’t be as bad as you think.” She said softly, trying to comfort your anxiety.

You shrugged, walking back to your room to then slip on your shoes and grab your backpack. You walked to the front door and waved goodbye to your mom. You opened the door to instantly feel the cold morning air of Nockfell. You sighed and shut the door and began your commute to your new prison. As you approached the large brick building, plenty of kids were already looking at you. “Great…” You thought to yourself. “I’m already being judged.” You took a deep breath and opened the front door to the school, fishing out the paper you got at orientation out of your pocket. Luckily, they gave you your class locations and locker number before school started. “78…” You mumbled to yourself, looking at the paper while making your way down the hallway to try and find Locker 78. As you got closer, counting down the lockers 76, 77… and finally 78, you noticed a strange group of kids your age near your locker. In fact, they were RIGHT next to your locker, almost blocking it. There was a boy with ginger hair and glasses, a girl with long brown hair, a boy who also had long brown hair, and then…there was another. You didn’t really register anything more about the group of kids, why should you? You didn’t get a good look at the last one, they were short and kind of in the middle surrounded by the others. You opened your locker and set down your backpack to bring out your books when you heard whispering from the group.

“Isn’t that the new girl?” Said one.

“She looks nice.” Said another.

You decided to stop eavesdropping, their opinions didn’t matter. You were just trying to get through the day. You pulled out a massive stack of books from your backpack, trying to haul it into your locker. You failed miserably though, dropping them immediately with a loud BANG of the hardcovers.

“Here, let me help you!” A girl said as you kneeled to clean up your mess. You looked up for your eyes to meet hers. They were bright green, shielded by dark eyelashes. She looked down at your books and began to stack them. You immediately panicked.

“No, really it’s fine! You don’t need to help!” You stammered, trying to get the stranger to stop assisting you.

“I know I don’t need to, but I want to.” She replied matter-of-factly, smiling brightly at you while handing you your books. “I’m Ash.”

“…Y/N…” You mumbled, blushing from embarrassment. You didn’t want some random girl to pity your clumsiness.

“Nice to meet you!” She said cheerily, standing up to introduce you to her friends. “This is Todd,” She said, motioning to the redhaired boy with glasses, “Larry,” she continued, referring to the boy with long brown hair, “and that’s Sal!” She concluded, pointing at a…strange (to say the least) looking…boy?

The individual had olive skin, from at least what you could see from their hands and neck. They wore a long sleeved black shirt that was far too large for them, black ripped jeans, and red converse that were littered in doodles. Their wrists were adorned in handmade bracelets, spelling out various words like “punk”, “Sally Face”, and “BFFS”. Their hair was tied back into two electric blue pigtails, with short bangs covering their forehead. But the strangest thing…was their face. Or, what seemed to be a face from what it looked like. They wore a stark-white mask that covered their whole face, with little holes for their eyes and nostrils. You couldn’t tell what material it was made out of, but it looked fairly…medical? You decided to go with the assumption that it was just a strange fashion choice when a voice came from the off-putting mask. It was raspy and deep, yet timid. Okay, so it is a guy!

“Hello.” The boy said, blue eyes glimmering behind the mask. His voice had a tinge of kindness to it. Your eyes roamed over his masked face, taking in little details like scratches and parts where the paint was peeling.

“Yo, earth to new girl. You good, bro?” The boy with long brown hair said while waving his hand in front of your eyes. “Shoot…was I staring?” you thought to yourself.

“Huh? Oh, yeah I’m fine.” You replied, blinking a few times at the masked boy.

“I’d love to stay and chat, but I gotta head to class. See you later guys!” Ash said as she bid farewell to the others, walking to a nearby classroom.

“Me too, I have robotics.” Todd added, leaving the three of you alone.

“What class do ya got, newbie?” Larry questioned, towering over you and looking down at the paper in your hands.

“Oh, I have Geometry. You?” You replied.

“Sick, us too!” He said excitedly, motioning to a door down the hall. “Follow me and Sal.”

You nodded, following them with a slight smile. They seemed…nice. Your anxieties slowly started to melt away with each step you took, feeling more confident in the day ahead of you. You were so wrapped up in these positive thoughts that you didn’t notice the blue-haired boy staring at you while you walked side-by-side.

“Y/N, right?” He asked.

“Huh?” You snapped back to reality, “Oh! Yeah, that’s me. Sal?”

“The one and only.”

You laughed, he seemed cute…and oddly intriguing.

He laughed himself, even if it was only a light chuckle.

You made your way to the classroom and stepped inside. The teacher was sitting at her desk, taking roll. On the whiteboard was written, “Welcome! Feel free to sit anywhere.”

“Wanna sit together?” Sal asked, looking at you and Larry.

You nodded.

“Duh.” Larry snorted.

You all found a group of seats where you sat next to Sal, and Larry sat behind you. You took out a notebook and began to doodle. Sal leaned over and watched you diligently.

“Ignoring us already?” Larry chuckled, looking over your shoulder.

“What? No! Sorry- I just-.”

“Don’t give her a hard time, man.” Sal said with a hint of frustration in his voice. He turned to you. “So, what do you like to do for fun, Miss Y/N?”

This was new. You hadn’t really introduced yourself to anyone in a long time. It took you a second to gather your thoughts. Who were you?

Ramble about the lore of the funny plant and zombie game below. Its basically gonna be me going

for like a few paragraphs

I know PvZ's timeline and lore is already weird (its literally a predestination paradox, and they explain nothing ever) but I always think about how the world just handled zombies before there were sentient plants, and the plants themselves and how they became a thing. Now I know there's that 'The Guide to Protecting Your Brains' that has some info, but much like a lot of non-game content for this series, I can't find an actual full scan of it outside of a few low quality pics of some pages on the wiki as well as the transcipts of plant and zombie descriptions from the wiki. So if the book clears up anything, I wouldn't know. (why is it so hard to find supplemental material for this series) I'm mainly going off info from the few scattered iceberg and lore vids on youtube, mainly choopo's video.

First, the zombies. Now we know they've existed for so long because of PvZ2's predestination paradox and Zomboss putting them there. But how did humans deal with them? I assume pre-plant era humans used normal weaponry; and because I doubt Zomboss stayed in the past eras after you beat him in PvZ2's adventure mode, that any zombies left behind in the past kind of just became a non-threat with nobody to command them.

But then we get to the Zombie War of '76. Yeah, Imitater's PvZ almanac entry mentions that there was a zombie war, and its so weirdly specific that I doubt its a joke or not meant to be taken as lore. There's a lot to unpack here.

We know that at least some plants fought in this war, as Imitater was apparently a part of it, and Bloom and Doom Seed Co. was establisted in 1968; but none of the plants we know in PvZ were in that war; because that generation of plants were made by Dave. Now Dave is assumed to be at least thirty six, and NMT has him state that he was a kid in the eighties, so he had to have been born in 1973 (according to my shitty math). So I have to assume Bloom and Doom Seed Co. had plants of their own in the war against the zombies during the '76 Zombie War.

Maybe there were some humans in it too, maybe it was mostly humans and the plants were like some hair-brained back-up plan, given we don't have many plants in the series who could have been in the war aside from Imitater and maybe Colnel Corn. (given his lore in GW2, but I have no evidence for this) I have no idea if this is true, but somebody in the comment section of choopo's PvZ lore vid said that the zombies are immune to bullets, but if that is actual lore then I can imagine why the plants would be there.

Here's another thing about this Zombie War that also fucks with me: Who was in charge of this zombie faction? Because I'm like... 98% sure it was not Zomboss. Now we know that Zomboss and Dave are somewhere in th same age range, because of the science fair incident, and Zomboss does age like a human does from that same science fair (and Bully for You); so he probably came into existence at the same time Dave was born. Now I know the counter could be "Well time travel is canon" but only in PvZ2, and there is not a single world in PvZ2 or PvZ2 China that is even close to being in a 70s war setting, so I can't consider that as a remotely canon-compliant explanation.

And the zombies have been shown to not be able to organize themselves for shit without somebody to command them, there had to be some kind of commander there. I'm sure it probably was Zomboss and Popcap just never bothered expanding on any of this Zombie War, but this random bit of lore compels me so much.

Like where was this war fought? What were the stakes? What was the zombie army like? Did people die? If it wasn't Zomboss leading the zombies in this war, who did? Or was it like a World War Z type 'war' where the zombies just swelled in numbers and overwhelmed whatever location they were in? And most importantly; has anybody made fanfic based on this concept and if so, where can I read it?

A Boring Non-Fiction Essay On Voting.

I'm going to present this as a little historical walk through. Give me some grace, I'm pretty new to this:

It's 1946, and the WWII is over. Has been for some months. Young people are held in the highest esteem possible. They've defeated an existential threat, been glorified all over the news, and society has decided that it is going to make a concerted effort to thank them.

This effort, combined with the fact that most young people have been putting off having children due to the war, results in the post-war generation giving birth to the largest generation that the US has ever had. Probably ever will have.

This generation is the Boomers.

The Boomers numbers alone would've made them pretty much the dominant force in our democracy, but the Vietnam war cranks this up to 11. This whole batch of young people is informed that they will need to get politically active ASAP, or get blown up across the world fighting a war that nobody understands against people that frankly aren't a threat to us.

Nobody likes politics. They're a dirty, mucky business, but it's better to deal with them than it is to bury friends so they start voting, and then they just never stop. They're a political titan, and everything that can be controlled by voting goes in their favor. This starts around 1960.

Gen-X joins the field in the 1980s, but they're small and it becomes clear right off the bat that their voice is never going to be louder than the Boomers. They find other ways to get heard, and the funnel their resources into those (mostly direct activist approaches in the courts), and it's not the same kind of representation that the Boomers get but it's... something.

Reagan is elected. The world becomes measurably worse.

The Millennials join the scene around the year 2000. They outnumber the Boomers by a very, very small margin, but... there's a handful of things against them.

First, they have no idea how to organize. No alive one does. The Boomers are glued together with vague self-interest, and the democrats have been moving their interests through non-democratic channels for forty plus years now. Those muscles are atrophied.

Second, they, like all young people, are resistant to getting politically involved. There is no literal gun to their heads like there was for the Boomers.

They shoot their shot. It does not work. It probably never could. The Democrats finally have the numbers to theoretically win, but theoretical numbers and turnout are different things, and the stakes just aren't the same without death on the line. That's a good thing, but it puts off change for another generational cycle.

Now we are in 2020. The Boomers have been defacto the only voice that matters in politics for sixty years. The Republican party has not bothered to do youth outreach in any real sense since 1980. As a matter of fact, they have doubled down on the Boomers, shed as much young blood as they needed to get their old voters out in the booths.

It worked in 2016 with Trump. This was a devil's deal. The party's future was grim from the start, but Trump couldn't tolerate any threat to his "leadership", so he took the head of any up and coming political figures. He killed off the generation of princelings in training by humiliating them in front of the party during the debates, and now they have literally no one to run but him. The only people spared from this extinction event were holed away in quiet corners: Random governors, state level reps, quiet non-apparatus type individuals who have no ability to actually run the machine.

They tried this again in 2020, and it did not work. The Boomers are, finally, dying off. They've been at almost peak activation since 1970, there's just not a whole lot more that could be drawn from them, and with the youngest Boomers being 58, and the oldest being 76... They've hit their zenith and are now going extinct entirely through natural mechanisms.

And thus begins my actual argument: If I were to vote against the Boomers in 1980, I think I would've been wasting my time fighting a battle that I never had the manpower to win. It would have been doing a futile action solely the moral exercise of saying "I tried." I do not believe in the value of such actions. If I were voting against the Boomers in the 2000s, I would have been attempting a battle that could have, possibly, maybe been won, but would have taken a brilliant strategy. No brilliant strategy ever came. I personally hold that in that time, the best use of time was to organize people as preparation while still mostly moving through courts to get actions done. Voting was not really a winning strategy then. Now in the 2020's, the Boomers are dying out. There will never be more of them than there were in 2020, and there weren't enough of them then. The well is tapped. We are no longer up against overwhelming force. They are dying.

And so, for the first time in 40 years, I think that the best bang for my buck is in voting. Not because I hold great stock in voting as a civic duty, not because I think that voting is a moral thing, but because the situation has changed. Voting is so easy, and the value of it, right now, is so high, that it just makes tactical sense. I'm not going to harangue anyone on this. I'm not entirely sure that this is a great idea myself, I'm an engineer, not a poli-sci major, but I know my demographic data and the last five years have been a watershed moment. I think there's a good case for this being the time to start voting again. (And I want to point out that the people who have spent the last forty years calling it a waste of time weren't wrong. I just think that things have changed in the relatively recent present.)

Sooooo if any of you were here in May 2022, I made this survey about relationship headcanons, like who do you see as [character]'s sibling/parent, what do you consider the relationship between [character] and [character] to be, etc.

And after closing it, I started working on a slideshow type thing to spread the answers. But there were a lot of answers and I was confused about whether to use precents or raw numbers so it all got a bit confusing and I decided to put it off.

But uh. Yeah then I never touched it again so here is the raw data in a spreadsheet and below are graphs taken straight from the survey! I think the answers would be different now but they're still very interesting!

Part 76 of Tony Stark is a Good Mentor

No Archive Warnings Apply || Rated G || Chapters 1/? || De-aged Peter Parker, Peter Parker & Tony Stark

Summary: While on patrol, Peter is struck by a spell that turns him into a toddler. Or mostly into a toddler. His memories, intellect, and experiences are still intact. Unfortunately, that makes being trapped in a toddler's body, with a toddler's motor skills that much harder. His legs are too short, and his fingers are too uncooperative. He can’t ride in the car without a super claustrophobic car seat. He can’t even wash his hands without help and it's frustrating. Between the teasing, Tony does his absolute best to help.

[except below the cut]

It was after ten in the evening and Tony was in his bed for once. He wasn’t sleeping. He was leaning up against the headboard, glasses perched on the end of his nose, thumbing through a magazine. They’d done an interview and photoshoot with him several months prior and it had finally been published. He didn’t like the photo they’d picked for the cover. His smile was off and a few errant strands of hair had fallen limply against his forehead. He hoped the article would make up for it.

He was about halfway through the two-page spread when his phone began to ring. Blindly, he reached over to the bedside table and wrapped his fingers around the device. He didn’t bother checking the caller ID as he brought it up to his ear. There was no reason to. It was his personal phone and only a handful of friends and colleagues had the number. 

“This is Stark,” he mindlessly greeted, the phone tucked neatly under his chin.

“Oh Thank God you actually answered!” a high-pitched voice rang out from the other end of the line.

Tony sighed, wondering which one of his imbecile contacts had allowed their toddler to play with their phone. “Hey there, Little Buddy. Does your mommy or daddy know you have their phone?” he asked, bringing the chipmunk-like chatter to a halt.

“Come on, Mr. Stark! This is serious!” the voice squealed. Though, all of the R’s and L’s were either missing or slurred into W’s. “I’m kind of in a bind here and I could really use your assistance.”

The first thing to pop into Tony’s head was how the vocabulary didn’t quite match up to the voice. Before he could stop himself the words, “Wait. How old are you?” slipped out of his mouth. 

The tiny voice growled. Vaguely, Tony wondered why he’d not already hung up. 

“It doesn’t matter! I really need you to hear me out here, Mr. Stark!”

“Yeah, okay,” Tony interjected. “That’s enough phone time for you today, Kiddie. Mr. Stark is going to say ‘bye-bye’ now.” Before he could press the end call button, the voice on the other end of the line grew increasingly frantic.

“No, Mr. Stark! Wait! Please! It’s me, Peter! Peter Parker! I need your help!”

As the voice pleaded, Tony pulled the phone away from his ear to verify who he was speaking to. Sure enough, the name Peter Parker was displayed across the screen, along with the cheesy photo he’d set to go with the contact information.

“Peter?” he questioned, still not quite believing. ”Why the hell do you sound like a nineties cartoon character?”

His inquiry was met with silence. He was right on the verge of probing for more when he heard Peter gather a deep breath.  

“Well, I was on patrol, right?” Peter said. “You know, just swinging around minding my own business. Then some weird guy with a big floaty book popped up out of nowhere! I tried to get away from him but then he threw this yellowish-orange glowy light ball thing at me, and he shrunk me! He shrunk me, Mr. Stark! And I- I don’t have any other clothes.” 

When the rambling finally came to an end, Tony reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose. “You don’t have any other clothes,” he blandly repeated. “You just told me some random guy shot you with an unknown substance and you’re going your biggest concern is, ‘I don’t have any other clothes?’”

“I’m pretty sure being naked in the middle of New York City is actually a very big concern, Mr. Stark!”

Seeing as that hadn’t even crossed his mind, Tony sighed and pulled up the Spider-Suit's last known coordinates. Thankfully they weren’t far. “Alright. You win. I’ll be there in twenty.”

🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam spokesperson, Abu Obeida:

—

76 days have passed since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle and the barbaric zionist terrorist aggression on our people in the Gaza Strip, and the enemy continues to commit war crimes recorded in the history of crimes against humanity.

Our fighters in the field are still confronting the aggression and fighting the trembling criminal enemy, inflicting heavy losses on its soldiers, officers, machinery, and paralyzing its entity despite its possession of a huge arsenal.

The enemy receives massive military support which only reflects the weakness of this entity dependent on unjust and aggressive alliances that will eventually be cut off, whether sooner or later.

Our fighters on the ground continue to destroy the enemy's vehicles and target them with all available types of weapons, trapping their soldiers in fatal traps, pursuing them outside their vehicles and in buildings where they fortify themselves in assembly areas, inflicting dozens of deaths on enemy soldiers and hundreds wounded and injured with escalating losses that hardly cease around the clock and will increase, God willing, as long as the aggression continues.

The tally of vehicles destroyed by our fighters in the past week includes dozens of vehicles, as we announced successively, while the number of military vehicles targeted since the beginning of the ground aggression is 720, including troop carriers, tanks, bulldozers, vehicles, and military trucks.

The targeting by our fighters of enemy forces ranged across all axes of the zionist incursion from Beit Hanoun in the north to Khan Younis in the south, throughout the days of aggression.

By the grace of Allah, in the past week, our fighters executed more than 15 successful sniper operations and more than 12 direct engagements with machine guns, medium weapons, and hand grenades.

Our fighters, in the combat operations, widely used anti-personnel explosive devices, guerilla action devices, and anti-tank explosive devices of all types against fortifications, personnel, and vehicles in operations.

After 11 weeks of confronting the aggression and the brutal Nazi war, we in the Al-Qassam Brigades affirm that the enemy army on the ground is preoccupied with searching for illusions of victory and achievement.

Sometimes they announce the assassination of field commanders and targeting fighters on the ground. Sometimes they celebrate discovering an old, out-of-service tunnel or bombing a used rocket launcher. Sometimes they boast about seizing military sites or offices and residences that were previously bombed with tons of explosives, and sometimes they display random destruction and killing as a reaction to their failure and massive losses.

This lost, crisis-stricken, arrogant enemy has not learned a single lesson from historical experiences. It previously assassinated leaders and killed thousands of our people's fighters, but their blood sprouted victory, and their souls bequeathed to our resistance its strength and vigor.

The enemy previously destroyed, corrupted, killed, displaced, and committed massacres throughout its bloody and black history, leaving our people no choice but to take revenge and make it pay for its crimes and massacres, insisting on resistance and striving to sweep it away.

The enemy continues to repeat its historic foolishness and mistakes because, like other occupying invaders, it is disconnected from the reality of our people, ignorant of their culture and civilization, and does not comprehend the meaning of the will of free peoples striving to liberate themselves from occupation.

The enemy's goal to eliminate the resistance is doomed to failure, and this is an indisputable fact. As for the goal of recovering its prisoners, the enemy's failed operations, which are related to what we declared from the first day of the war, have proven that the course of this issue is exchange.

The continuation of aggression does not allow for the release of prisoners at all, let alone their liberation through direct military operations. Therefore, if the enemy and its public want their prisoners alive, they have no choice but to stop the aggression.

It is not possible to release the enemy prisoners alive except through entering into negotiation through known pathways via mediators. This is a fixed position, and there is no alternative except the continued fall of the enemy's prisoners dead by the fire of their arrogant army and by the decision of their political leadership, which evades facing and acknowledging the truth.

We salute our people in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds, who are facing a Nazi onslaught that reflects the enemy's lies, crimes, and indulgence in tyranny, whether our people fight armed with weapons and gear or unarmed, fighting with a few rifles, stones, and daggers. So take the book with strength, O sons of our people and mobilize your weapons to defend your dignity, sanctities, villages, homes, and honor.

We salute the fighters of our nation who are confusing the enemy and those behind it by hitting their front militarily, economically, morally, and security-wise, especially on the Yemen and Lebanon fronts, making the occupation seek help from its masters for protection, fearing what that what is to come is more daunting and severe, by the power of Allah and His command.

Finally, we hold on to the hands of our great, patient people who bear burdens like mountains in facing this zionist Nazi holocaust but stand tall and patient on their land.

Salute to all the fighters and resistance fighters of our people in the field who have amazed both enemy and friend with their steadfastness, bravery, resilience, and heroism. We are certain in Allah that this patient, epic endurance will not be in vain in Allah's balance and will lead to a good outcome, opening, dignity, and it will be be a prelude to a great victory by the help of Allah and His strength.

Allah is dominant over His affair, but most people do not know.

It is indeed a jihad of victory or martyrdom.
