⤜MASTERLIST

A/N: I tried to change this up a bit, I hope it comes out the way you were expectiting.

As you stood outside of the doctor's building unease began to weave its way through to your brain, nitpicking at everything you'd been doubting for the last few weeks.

"We can turn back anytime," Minho promised, his hand on your power back rubbing it in small circles as you thought about it. 

The two of you had been struggling to conceive for a while now and this was the best doctor in the fertility world. Someone who was renowned for his successful pregnancies in couples that hadn't been able to have a baby before.

"I want this," You told him, your voice barely coming out above a whisper as you slowly walked into the building. Today was going to be a good day, you were determined to go through with this. Besides, it was just going to be a series of small injections for the next few months so you would be more fertile.

After filing in forms and waiting for not even five minutes you were already taken through to a small office area where Dr Matthews was waiting. For someone who was world-renowned, he didn't seem that busy with many patients but you weren't going to slam him for it. The quicker you were seen the faster you could get pregnant and finally have your and Minho's child.

"Thank you for coming in, Yn, Minho. I understand you're struggling to conceive?" He gestured for you to sit across from him and you took Minho's hand in yours.

"We've been trying with no luck, we started to lose hope until someone told us about your practice."

"Your hormonal injections, my friend Laurie had it a few months back," You told him with a small smile, you could still remember the day she told you she was pregnant, practically bouncing off the walls at work.

"Medicine has come a long way, I know you've been seeing a few nurses so I'll check over their notes and we can start with the first procedure." He smiled warmly at you before walking into an adjoining room and leaving you and Minho alone.

"We're going to have a baby," Minho whispered excitedly to you, his heart hammering against his chest at the thought of finally having a child with you. It had been all the two of you had dreamt about for months now and it was finally going to happen.

"We shouldn't tell anyone what we're doing until we're sure it works though," You told him, you didn't want to get any of your friend's hopes up in case it didn't work. 

"Sure. Maybe we can do an announcement party," Minho seemed over the moon about everything and it only made you love him more for it. 

"Miss YLN, Come right through. I'll set you up." A nurse said with a pleasant smile, opening the door for you and letting you walk inside.

"You might feel a slight pinch but other than that this will be completely pain-free." The nurse explained as you sat on one of the beds, your legs apart and staring at the ceiling. You'd done this a million times before in doctors' appointments but every time you still felt awkward about it.

"Does this procedure have a good outcome for couples who have trouble to conceive?" You asked, mostly trying to avoid any silence in the room.

"I would say so, almost every couple I do this for end up pregnant." She giggled, and your eyes squeezed shut as you felt the pinch she'd referred to, followed by her smile.

"Done. See, quick and painless." She announced, peeling off the gloves and throwing everything into a bin.

"Just wait for a few more minutes before you join your boyfriend and you'll be good to go."

"Don't I need to book another appointment?" You frowned, the injections were supposed to be once a month, 

"Oh, right. Sure. Arrange that with the receptionist." She said with a smile but you could have sworn you'd seen a flash of confusion on her face but she was quick to leave the room.

"Weird," Minho laughed as he walked into the room after she left, a frown on his face as he came over to kiss you on the top of the head.

"I've never seen a nurse run before, did you yell at her for hurting you?" He teased, but you shook your head at him.

"Didn't even hurt, maybe a slight pinch." You shrugged a little and laid your head back on the seat, smiling at the thought of finally getting your chance at being a family. 

This was going to be your last attempt before the two of you would foster kids, deciding that if you couldn't get pregnant it was a sign to give another kid a chance instead. 

As a month passed following the procedure you began to feel weaker, you put it down to the injections taking it out of you but it had been a month since your first one and you hadn't heard about a second one yet.

"I was thinking we could all hire out a restaurant," Jisung said as you walked into the room, you, he and Minho were all planning a birthday party for your shared friend but you had to admit your mind was off elsewhere. Mostly trying to focus on everything around you since a wave of dizziness had just washed over you.

"Babe? You okay?" Was all you heard before everything went black, Jisung was up in a flash to check on you and Minho was already calling an ambulance. 

"Did she take anything?" Jisung asked as he looked down at you, he sat you between his legs and Minho shook his head.

"She had some fertility treatment a month ago, we've been trying to get another appointment but we're getting ignored." He grumbled angrily if the doctor had done anything to put you in any kind of danger he was going to have their head on a stick, 

At the hospital, medical staff quickly attended to you, running all kinds of tests to determine what was going on and why you'd suddenly collapsed.

"I want to go home." You told Minho as you sat up in the bed, it had been hours of tests and blood work taken and no one was telling you anything but Minho was boiling with anger. The thought of something happening to you because of some injection was sending him wild.

"What if there's something wrong with the injection? That because of their negligence you're going to be sick?" He ran his hand over your cheek and you sighed a little, you hated to think of it but you knew he was right. There could be anything wrong with you now and you needed to get to the bottom of it whether you liked it or not.

"Yn, Minho, we've finally got some results." A doctor said as he walked into the room, a giant grin on his face.

"I believe congratulations are in order." He said as if that made his announcement any clearer to the two of you, you changed a bewildered look with Minho and shook your head.

"What?" Minho frowned, neither of you having any idea what he was talking about.

"You're pregnant." The two words you would have given anything to hear months ago that seemed damn near impossible now.

"N...No, that can't be right," You laughed, more nervously than anything else. The treatment wasn't finished yet and there was no way that you could have been pregnant after one injection.

"This has to be some kind of joke, I haven't finished my treatment plan." You shook your head at him, laughing in disbelief.

"I assure you, this is no joke. The tests are conclusive. You're expecting a baby." You stared at him and then back at Minho.

"We're having a baby..." You whispered to him, but how was it possible? You were told it wasn't going to be a sure thing until your third and final injection but now you were expecting?

"We need to go and see Dr Matthews." You told Minho, your hand squeezing his as he nodded in agreement. Something wasn't sitting right with any of you.

"A mistake!?" Minho screamed at Dr Mattews as you sat across from him, your mind was still trying to process what he had just said to you.

"Yes. It happens, communication somehow lacks and then mistakes happen." He said with a small smile as if any of this could ever be entertaining to anybody.

"A mistake is forgetting to pick up your lunch. A mistake is accidentally knocking something over!" Minho seethed, his face red with anger.

"A mistake is not impregnating my girlfriend with someone else sperm!" The statement finally sank in as you stared down at the name plaque on Dr Mattews desk. 

You were pregnant something you should have been over the moon about but you were pregnant with someone else's baby.

Someone you didn't know.

Someone who wasn't your boyfriend.

"I'm so so sorry! It was a mix-up, I never meant for this to happen." Dr Mattews pleaded with you both but it didn't change what happened, you were pregnant with someone else's kid and your heart shattered for Minho.

"Who's is it?" You finally spoke out, your voice cracking since your throat was so dry, you stared at Dr Mattews.

"I can't disclose that." He grumbled, shaking his head as if he had any place to stand in all of this. He was lucky you weren't taking him to the police for what had happened to you.

"You shouldn't have had your hack nurse get her pregnant but here we are." Minho hissed at him, the man was quick to run through your notes, finding the folder and flicking through it.

"A man named Han Jisung." The rest of the world seemed to go quiet as Dr Matthews told you that you couldn't tell the man about any of it.

"It's a friend of ours," Minho said defeatedly, sitting back in the chair as his heart sank at the mention of your long-term friend.

"I'm deeply sorry, it was a terrible mistake on our part. The nurse who did the procedure is long gone." Dr Matthews continued to blabber on but your mind was still stuck on the fact that you were carrying Jisung's child.

"Out of all the people in the world." You scoffed, walking back to your car hand in hand with Minho who was laughing a little.

"What do we do?" You asked, your eyes falling onto him as he took in a deep breath.

"I don't know, but we'll figure it out together. Like we always do." He promised you. With heavy hearts you got into the car, trying to figure out a way to tell Jisung the truth about all of this. He had a right to know after all. 

Despite everything you decided it was best for Jisung to know as soon as possible about it all, that he deserved to know if he was going to be a dad but you had no idea how to bring it up. 

The three of you were sitting at your place having some tea together as you tried to come up with a way to approach the topic without sounding insane.

"Jisung, have you ever sold your sperm?" Minho asked suddenly, you spat out your tea and stared at him, kicking him from where you were sitting.

"W...What? Why would you ask me that?" He laughed feeling uneasy about where this was all coming from,

"It's just a question." Minho shrugged before you sighed, putting down your glass and shaking your head.

"I'm pregnant." You announced but not in the way Jisung had been expecting, he thought you would have been over the moon about it.

"It's yours." You whispered, slowly sliding him the piece of paper with all of his information on it, something you'd had to seriously persuade Dr Matthews to give to you. Biting down on your lip you slowly took Minho's hand in yours and began to explain everything to Jisung about the mix-up and he listened attentively the whole time.

"Wow, I...I don't even know what to say. T...Thanks for telling me," He stared at you with a different look in his eyes,

"We understand it's a lot to take in, we're still trying to process it ourselves." Minho chuckled anxiously and you nodded.

"No, no, it's okay. Actually, I feel honoured. Honored to be a part of this child's life in any way I can." You stared at him, in complete shock.

"What?" You whispered, Minho squeezed your hand a little.

"You want to be involved?" He stared at his best friend who nodded, a smile tugging onto the corners of his lips.

"Absolutely. I may not have expected this, but now that I know, I want to be there for him...or her." He said, his smile growing wider while your heart sank.

"Will you try and take him from us?" Your voice trembled and Jisung's smile dropped as he realised what it must have sounded like he wanted.

"I meant...I want to be a godfather, an uncle, whatever you need me to be." Relief washed over you both as you stared at him, completely touched by his generosity.

"Thanks, Jisung. It means a lot." Minho smiled before hugging his friend. All of you starting to discuss what this all meant for you all, it was completely unconventional but you couldn't wait to start your family together. 

As the years passed and your child grew, you, Minho, and Jisungforged a strong bond rooted in love, trust, and shared experiences. Jisung had become an integral part of your lives, serving not only as a godfather but also as a trusted friend and confidant. Your son always called him Uncle Jisung, finding someone to go to if he ever needed it and felt as though he couldn't come to you or Minho about it. Tonight, you and Minho found yourselves in need of a babysitter for your son. While you were initially hesitant to leave your child in Jisung's care, you couldn't deny the genuine connection he had formed with your family over the years.

"I don't know, Minho. Are you sure we should leave him with Jisung? What if something happens?" You knew it was unlikely that anything would go wrong in the space of four hours but you were nervous about everything. Minho placed a reassuring hand on your shoulder, his eyes filled with confidence and trust.

"He has proven time and time again that he's responsible and caring. We can trust him with our son." He reminded you, you nodded, still feeling a twinge of anxiety, but knowing deep down that Minho was right. You walked into the living room to find Jisung already sitting with your son getting the movies ready on the TV.

He'd come round with blankets and lots of snacks to have a movie night with him.

"Are you ready for some fun with Uncle Jisung?" He yelled out, your son beamed up at him, his excitement palpable as he eagerly nodded his head.

"Thank you for doing this, Jisung. We really appreciate it." You smiled warmly, it was going to be your first date in a long time and you had to say you were a little nervous about that.

"Of course, Yn. You know I love spending time with him. Everything will be fine, I promise."

With a final reassuring smile, you and Minho bid farewell to your son and headed out for your evening, trusting in the bond you had forged with Jisung and the love that surrounded your family.

As you enjoyed your time together, you couldn't shake the feeling of apprehension lingering in the back of your mind. But with each passing moment, you found yourself relaxing, reassured by the knowledge that your son was in capable and caring hands.

When you returned home later that evening, you found your son fast asleep, a contented smile on his face. Jisung greeted you both with a grin, his eyes sparkling with pride.

"He was an absolute angel. You have nothing to worry about." Tears of gratitude welled up in your eyes as you embraced Jisung, overwhelmed by the depth of the bond you shared and the unwavering support he had provided to your family. With tears of joy streaming down your cheeks, you whispered, 

"Thank you, Jisung. Thank you for always being there for us." Jisung returned the embrace, his own eyes glistening with emotion.

How my team would in sagau: Zeph national

Had way too much fun making the first one sooo here's the second one!

Ok so: Scara is main dps, Bennett is healer, Xingqiu and Xiangling are sub dps.

Now interactions and voicelines ahead!

A/n i think you guys know who i like the most out of this team ahahha, been writing this for hours lol.

Tw: Yandere

》 Zephyrus - The Wanderer

The 10th to be bestowed a golden star.

He's cordial with them all, although quite displeased at how Bennett's bad luck happens to get them into some form of trouble, Xiangling's insistence at finding a new creature to cook with her... eccentric methods and Xingqiu's ravings about how this book series hes been reading for weeks keep ending in clifhangers. He knows that they are all blessed by the creator so he should be nice to them.

One of the few golden blessed to have a star in his constellation be illuminated in the sky.

Ah yes the boy who took my al haitham guarantee..... he is such a menace... his flight ability is quite useful though. Got his c1 trying to lose the 50/50 like bro i love you but???.

Voicelines:

》About the creator: In the arms of the divine

Hah. You want to know about my connection with her? Fine then, her grace gave me a new life through The Traveller and Lesser Lord Kusanali. Even chose the name i now use. She's one of the only gods to be so kind to me... What are you clapping about? Everyone here is a devotee of their grace, i'm no different.

》About the creator: Abandonment

Having gone through what i have, you think i would let this opportunity go to waste? If her grace willed it so that i had to suffer for her blessing, i would go through it all over again. To be abandoned by a god only to be taken in by the creator herself... Wow you've got some audacity, to even ask that question, do you want to die? My answer is simple if their grace decides to abandon me then i would make sure that she would find me worthy of her again, any way possible. She took me into her arms and moulded me into this, i am hers and hers alone.

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

》Bennett

Blessed by the creator,

He gets along with the other teens however keeps his distance with Zeph, he knows that his bad luck causes them to get into a lot of trouble. Keeps his distance but is always ready to help his team through everything.

Ah yes my boy, my son. I only got him during the 2.8 yoimiya re-run, yoi came home before he did.

》About the creator: Fortune of the divine

Hey! Care to join me on an adventure? Don't look so worried, ever since their grace blessed me my bad luck seems to be lessening! Sure there's the occasional lightning strike and stuff but her grace is always there to heal me up!

》About the creator: Worry

You know, i owe the creator so much, without them i probably would have gotten myself injured way more. I want to be useful to their grace. I don't want to be traded away because of my bad luck. I'll make sure their grace is safe when she decends- is that what the nuns said? Oh right!- into teyvat.

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

》Xiangling

One of the original blessed, was once put aside by the creator and now basks in their light.

She gets along well with Xingqiu but thats to be expected since their friends. She usually helps tend to Bennett when he gets injured, and as always Zeph keeps his distance and only interacts once the creator is included.

Ah yes my old sub dps until i got diluc... shes still good for someone i haven't really used until getting scara.

》About the creator: Food for the divine

I only need a few more ingredients and- oh what's up? This is a new dish im making based on what her grace was talking about earlier. I'll make sure that i can recreate that until their grace is satisfied.

》About the creator: Satiafaction

Being abandoned by her grace made me sad for a long while, but she gave me another chance! I'll make sure to use this chance nicely, when their grace decends i will serve them only the best. If she’s not satisfied by it then I'll keep trying harder until their grace is happy.

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

》Xingqiu

Blessed by the creator,

As a member of the guhua clan he upholds his values and make sure to keep them. Gets along with the other teens and is cordial with Zeph.

Got his cons for the lantern rite instead of yaoyao... he does great damage sometimes but hes there for vaporize.

》About the creator: Values of the divine

Did you know that the values of the guha clan match those of the creator? Ever since i found out about this I've been making sure that those values are ingrained into my head

》About the creator: Chivalry

To be blessed by her grace is one thing, but to embrace and live by the virtues they have set out is another. Everyday i train to make sure i uphold these ideals. To defy their values would be blasphemy. Their writing is law.

Overcharming Statistics

Overcharming is a mechanic in Hollow Knight that allows you to put on charms with a total notch cost higher than your maximum number of notches. More charms are obviously beneficial, but being overcharmed comes with one significant drawback: you take double damage on everything. For this reason, 141 of our respondents (66.5%) said that they do not regularly overcharm, and many responses noted that the guaranteed double damage is scary. This is very understandable, and it’s unsurprising that so many people do not do it regularly. A few of these respondents did not know what overcharming was; this is also not particularly surprising, since this mechanic is never explicitly explained beyond one dialogue hinting at it, and newer players may have never discovered it. 

The next largest proportion of people were those who only overcharm for radiant Hall of Gods (RadHoG) and/or for the delicate flower quest. Both of these situations require the player to complete a challenge hitless, so the double damage penalty is negligible. 46 respondents (21.7%) noted that they only overcharm for one or both of these challenges. Particularly with RadHoG, where an extra charm can make or break a fight, it’s not startling to see how many people overcharm in this situation.

A smaller proportion of respondents, only 8 of them (3.8%), noted that they only overcharm when inside of Godhome, whether for radiant challenges or radiant pantheons (which we take to mean hitless pantheons). Godhome, as it is a dreamscape, does not have the same penalties as dying in the overworld, encouraging players to take more risks in their playstyle. Besides this, Godhome is often intended for late stages of a playthrough, meaning that players have more upgrades to make survivability more viable. Many people have also completed hitless pantheon challenges, where overcharming would be helpful. It is possible that some of these respondents only overcharm for RadHoG despite not overcharming for flower quest, which would put them in the former category, but due to lack of clarity we opted to sort them into this separate one. The remaining few explicitly noted that they practice for radiant pantheons (and to that: good luck! It’s a tremendous challenge.)

Of the remaining few respondents, 11 (5.2%) said that they sometimes overcharm, and 6 (2.8%) said they regularly overcharm. Among those that said ‘sometimes’, around half cite their confidence in their capabilities, either against a boss or with their current gear, as the reason behind this choice. The respondents who said yes have similar reasonings: they’re confident in their abilities and value the extra boost from overcharming. However, for those that said they only ovecharm sometimes, the decision to overcharm is more situational. What situations would push you to overcharm? Let us know!

[the-firebird69]

We know these people are rude and they don't have any sense of when they are usually but we've had it with their crap you really have I don't want to hear about your ex-girlfriend and stuff like that and it's not your ex-girlfriend either but you can tell your wife usually end up dead. So we're hearing a lot of that problems Tumblr posting their bathing suits and she sort of gets the effects is listening I can hear stuff that she doesn't like and it's horrible things from her own I few but mostly it's from the pseudo empire and a severe put Downs and have something you have a nice bathing suit line that you can sell or are selling and if that's nice and it says it I'm not in a position to do anything even if Hera showed up. And it's kind of awkward that she says you've been injured and it's true and we do that helps there and try and Susan as soon as good as a good idea people need clothing and she is smiling and she had a good time but we have business to do.

-the morlocks are still headed towards the stashes and caches they are going there in great numbers Trump was continuously loading up and said he'll use the hostilities to launch attacks and he's already surrounded and being attacked from below large scale tax and they are getting bigger not smaller and soon they will be massive and we mean it. These attacks are going to become huge right now they're very huge and they're going to become massive the underground attacks are sufficient and getting much bigger within the hour the surface tax will have the same effect it probably would not have happened and you're not opens his mouth every few minutes for several years here and we thank our son and daughter but they're saying we're trying to survive and this guy won't let us so he's gotta to go and we agree. In moments this place is going to be cleared of trumpsters and they'll try and get in over and over and finally the old die at the stashes and Cassius and send more and it'll become very weak it'll be easier. Hello anthos locations and have only about 0.8% and that leaves what was 4.2% down to 3.4% and see it'll be attacked in other areas. It will force them to the stashes and caches and they'll try and punch a hole and get there to get everything out there's nothing else anywhere except enemies that are fortified and we believe it will go on today. Already his is called up a couple groups and they're trying to get in and a few locations and he is increasing those groups Philly soon they'll be huge and probably big enough to break back in and then he will keep calling for them we think it's always almost gone and after this row of them 3.8% is not very big but it's still pretty big we get another percent we'll get out there or more making it 2.8% and he would start getting smaller and people will be able to grab things easier and he looks at it like he has to and he does and it's going on right now that they're beginning this maneuver and we feel he'll be down to 1% by next Saturday and we do have things that say that and then he is sought by everybody because they keep on trying to put devices out there and he ruins it for a lot of warlock and it goes on right now and for a month and they're pretty much gone and that was a huge group they can't handle being near our son

More to announce and we shall shortly

[sirthinks]

I think that:

A) A universe with humans is better than one without them

B) It's complicated

and also why??

[yes i did steal this from the green brothers]

This is a good question, and a good pair of brothers.

I think that, as an alternative to a universe with humans is better than one without:

A universe without humans is simply; not one.

Now, as egomaniacal as that beginning sounds, let me explain why it is, and why it isn't.

The earliest known Homo genus subject is LD 350-1, an adult's jawbone dating from 2.75/2.8 million years ago. The estimated age of the universe (NASA's WMAP project in 2012) is about 13.772 Billion years.

Something, somewhere in the grand expanse of everything has existed for 13.772 Billion years.

I need everyone to think about that for the rest of their lives and never stop.

And now you're asking 'how the hell are you going to say that OUR lifespan (let alone mine) is so small comparatively to the age of the universe that it cannot be described by a percentage, and then tell me that the universe, is dependent on us?"

It's very simple.

Have you ever experienced something you've never experienced? Did you see what you can't see? Have you ever read something that's never been written, thought something that couldn't be thought and gone somewhere no one can go?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: 'oh my god I'm having an existential crisis, what am I talking about? No obviously not, huh and what and another huh for good luck.'

-

When you were born, so was everything else. When you opened your eyes to conscious existence, the universe blinked back. To drastically change the wording and try and be simple, your life is the only thing you can live.

You can only see what you see, hear what you hear, do what you do and feel what you feel.

'Is everyone else fake?'

No. Well, it depends how you see it! (haha). Everyone else is themselves. They too, can only live as themselves. Although you can describe, maybe even explain something you experienced -if you're lucky- You can only ever exist.

In short: Conceptualising, even trying to imagine a universe without humans is near impossible, implausible, inconceivable and to me, a little unhelpful.

You're human.

You could imagine a world without bees or apples or art or elephants, because you are not a bee or an apple, you are a piece of art but not in the paint and mediums sense and I don't think you're an elephant either.

But even so, a world devoid of apples could (and probably would, considering just how strange our world is) affect humans in a way that we also can't think up.

-

I do not need to be particularly important to be me. I do not need to have existed for 13 Billion years to be me. I am me. I am a thing that experiences the universe uniquely, since I am me and only me. And so are you.

Experiencing the universe uniquely, that is; you're not me.

((That's a topic for another day))

Extremely in short: A universe without humans isn't one because a universe without YOU cannot be experienced.

A world without experience is not a Universe.

Live, keep living; and after that live a little bit more.

okay but true about the education because i applied to five schools there and got into all of them…they literally said i just need a 2.8+ gpa and at least a 550 on math and english on the sat 😭 a big reason i want to go to london is because it is a major city (and new york is wayyy too much tuition for me) and i got into kingston university which is ranked #3 in london for my major. it’s not in central london but i honestly don’t mind that much. the US school i got into is ut austin which is a great school for journalism but i preferably wouldn’t stay in texas for school and london is only three years and 18 year old me thinks it would be a fun experience 😭 anyway thank you so much for your help!

of course!!! good luck with everything!!! <3<3<3

There's several other things happening but this is a very intense moment for everybody there are huge things happening and they're going regardless and we are here and we have a growing presence. Violence is sometimes breaking out and we don't want to send involved.

-they're continuing their firings of people in government jobs in Charlotte county and then in Florida right now they are working on that 2.5% of the remaining 5% government workers they have so far laid off half of them. They are laying off people and firing people from private work they stopped at 10% now they're laying off about 2.5%. and they've laid off half of them so far this morning. They left off at 2100 top level Charlotte county employees today they're shooting for 1500 and it's snowing that most of them don't work at all.

-and there are several other things happening one of them is that the police officer who is here was not called during the outburst and they do know why no they don't so they're wondering what that's all about so the match looked into it and found out that they're coming up there fighting and they probably will try and use it they might get ugly.

-and with Hera outlined last night is happening here they're more lawsuits and they're going after the lands that she mentioned there are still tons of houses they're still a lot of apartments believe it or not and today the in court and it's land too that's a big issue and trailer parks are very slow and changing and they're 20 households out and there are only 100 remaining still it was fraudulent but really there's not many people in them it's not two or three it's only three to five and it's fluctuating and that's the difference.

-the point is that it's not good and it is not sustainable and the more luck are losing power rapidly soon they are going to not be in the name Linda areas and people are counting the days they say..

-there have been about 300 arrests this morning in Charlotte county and there's going to be several more shortly it's going to happen in moments and it's really quite a nuisance. But people need to be monitored and watched make sure that they're not violating the law or rules.

-the housing situation is not good meaning that there's probably 15% of the houses in Florida are morlock and did it is known fact that the match and others are going after it and they are seeking all of it but in court today and there's probably 2/3 of that are being sought and they'll probably go after hard and they'll be after this afternoon. In the land I mentioning and there's still 50% but the morlock had and in court they're going after 60% of that so really it's about 30% of what the morlock had and they're also going after trailer parks and they're still probably about 2.8% and that's only 02 left and the rest are still there the going after those in court today too it is a huge day in court and it is a massive number of people that are being sued most of them are probably not going to show up.

There's a couple more things with the land they are courting it off already today and remember it's 75% of what the morlock own and the renters they have almost all of the apartments that had all more luck in them and apartments to rented in by others to morlock are being confiscated today all of them know if it's about 20% emotionally
