4 and 19 for the ask game? for all ur steps, if you're up for it? Or pick whichever :)

evening! thank you for the ask :]!

4. When scared, does your OC fight, flee, freeze or fawn?

Caine- flight. eyes closed, he doesnt want to see whats going down, and hightailing it as fast as possible. thats what happened during checkpoint three in retri, and wouldve been his choice during heartbreak if they werent ! that said, after the bad dream (the one before we meet chen in the boneyard), he Did stay stock still, since he got the freeze instinct trained into him. (actually i just remembered they punched mitchel (from @hyper-pixels, hi) after they woke up from a bad void dream???? so maybe they just have a weird amalgamation of instincts that crop up depending on the situation).

Cyrus- its a toss-up between fight and flight for him– hes 100% a coward and not afraid to cut his losses when he thinks he needs to, but at the same time, hes a stubborn bastard and has a Lot of anger to spare. generally speaking, his first instinct is fight. its only after he takes the time to assess a situation when he decides what hes going to do though– if he thinks he has a fighting chance, hes going for it. interestingly, hes less willing to fight things now that hes a villain than he was as a hero.

Cecilia- fight. honestly, theres no debate. anybody who has the audacity to scare her is going to face one (1) Incredibly pissed off ceci and probably more than a few fresh bruises. she hates feeling scared–it makes her feel powerless, and thats something she swore shed never experience again. fighting her fears makes her feel like theres something she can do about it, even if its superficial.

Cynthia- its either freeze or fawn, and the farm taught her both <3 she cant bring herself to fight or run because both actions were punished. she found out quickly enough that just taking it gave her a lighter sentence overall, and she continued to use that. fun(?) fact, 'just taking it' pretty much carried her into becoming a fighter step, because her pain tolerance is high as hell now. she still takes the armor upgrade though, just in case.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

Caine- hah. ok. well, in most cases, he wont hurt you. most of the time, hed settle for a clenched jaw and a glare. also not above leaving the room, no matter how important the person theyre talking to is. id say they get quiet when theyre angry, but theyre quiet most of the time so itd be hard to differentiate between normal quiet and 'fantasizing-about-watching-the-light-leave-from-their-eyes' quiet. if they have a reason to hurt them though? if hes in his armor, or its otherwise possible to inflict sufficient damage to them? at least One bone is breaking. if the person is regina specifically, shes not leaving the interaction with her life.

Cyrus- tear the bitch apart. psychologically???? physically???? emotionally????? why not all three of them! it would really depend on the situation, but by now cyrus knows how to rein in his anger just enough to figure out what would hurt somebody the most. this could range from kicking their ass to giving them a breakdown by systematically targeting their fears/insecurities. hes a cunt, but hes Smart about it.

Cecilia- Lots of yelling. probably more than a few punches too. her anger is explosive and raw, and its very easy for her to get caught up in it. that said, it doesnt last long either– once the initial anger burns out, shes willing to forget about it. if you piss her off, its a matter of how good you are at weathering the brute anger, which, granted, can be hard to do considering ceci like to hit things. she likes to hit things hard.

Cynthia- that depends when in the timeline she gets angry, because those have very different answers. pre-retri ending, she Refused to show her anger. you could not force her to. echo may end up being slightly more erratic if she got into an argument or something like that, but that was it. but the minute ortega accused her of being a regene copy? that switched up Quick. if she was going to be seen as a monster and a fake, fine, shell play the part. nowadays, getting her pissed means you have a target on your back, and not only is she patient in ruining your life, her high caution means its very difficult for her emotions to blind her. she acts cold, nearly apathetic, but rest assured shes finding out exactly what makes you tick.

questions from here!

The Climate of Mount Everest: What Climbers Need to Know

Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet), is an icon of human endurance and the pinnacle of mountaineering dreams. While its breathtaking vistas are awe-inspiring, the mountain's climate presents one of the greatest challenges to climbers. Understanding the weather conditions is essential for safe and successful ascents. This article explores the climate of Mount Everest and highlights what every climber needs to know.

Overview of Everest’s Climate

Mount Everest's climate is shaped by its extreme altitude and geographical location in the Himalayan range, which lies on the border between Nepal and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. The weather conditions on Everest are categorized by dramatic fluctuations, low temperatures, high winds, and thin air. These factors make it one of the harshest environments on Earth.

The region experiences distinct seasons: pre-monsoon (spring), monsoon (summer), post-monsoon (autumn), and winter. The spring (April to May) and autumn (late September to November) are the most popular climbing seasons, offering relatively stable weather compared to other times of the year.

Temperature Extremes

The temperatures on Mount Everest vary significantly depending on the time of year and elevation. At the summit, temperatures rarely rise above freezing, even in the warmest months. During the winter, they can plummet to as low as -60°C (-76°F). In spring and autumn, climbers can expect temperatures ranging from -20°C to -30°C (-4°F to -22°F) at higher altitudes.

The bitter cold poses a serious threat to climbers, increasing the risk of frostbite and hypothermia. Proper insulation and high-quality gear, including down suits and gloves, are essential to combat these freezing temperatures.

Winds and the "Jet Stream"

Mount Everest is notorious for its high winds, which are often more dangerous than the cold itself. These winds are driven by the polar jet stream—a fast-moving current of air in the upper atmosphere that can descend onto the mountain. Wind speeds at the summit can reach up to 200 km/h (124 mph), making the environment extremely perilous.

The pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons provide climbers with brief windows of lower wind speeds, often referred to as "summit windows." These occur when the jet stream shifts northward, temporarily reducing wind speeds to more manageable levels. Climbers must carefully monitor weather forecasts to align their summit attempts with these windows.

Snowfall and Avalanches

Snowfall on Mount Everest is heaviest during the summer monsoon season (June to September), as moist air from the Indian Ocean is driven up the Himalayan slopes. During this time, the mountain experiences frequent storms and heavy snow accumulation, making climbing extremely hazardous.

Even in drier seasons, the threat of avalanches persists. The Khumbu Icefall, one of the most dangerous sections of the route on the southern side, is particularly prone to ice collapses triggered by temperature changes or seismic activity. Climbers should exercise caution and rely on experienced guides to navigate these treacherous areas.

Thin Air and Low Oxygen Levels

One of the defining challenges of climbing Mount Everest is the low oxygen levels at high altitudes. At the summit, the oxygen level is only about one-third of what it is at sea level. This makes breathing difficult and contributes to altitude sickness, a potentially fatal condition.

The thin air also has a direct impact on the climate, as it offers less insulation against the cold. Climbers need to acclimatize gradually by spending time at intermediate camps to allow their bodies to adapt to the altitude. Supplemental oxygen is often used above 7,000 meters (22,965 feet) to assist with breathing and improve chances of success.

Weather Forecasting and Preparation

Modern technology has made it possible to predict weather patterns on Everest with increasing accuracy. Climbers and expedition teams now rely on specialized meteorological services to track wind speeds, temperatures, and potential storms. These forecasts are critical for planning summit attempts and avoiding dangerous conditions.

Preparation is key. Climbers should invest in high-quality gear, undergo rigorous training, and familiarize themselves with the mountain's climate. Hiring experienced guides and joining reputable expedition groups can provide an added layer of safety.

Climate Change and Its Impact

Climate change is altering the landscape and climate of Mount Everest. Rising temperatures have led to the melting of glaciers and thinning of ice, increasing the risk of avalanches and rockfalls. Unpredictable weather patterns are becoming more common, complicating climb planning and safety measures.

Additionally, the mountain's iconic Khumbu Glacier is retreating, and crevasses are becoming more unstable. Climbers must remain vigilant and adapt to these changing conditions.

Final Thoughts

The climate of Mount Everest is as unforgiving as it is captivating. While the allure of standing atop the world draws thousands of climbers each year, the mountain demands respect and thorough preparation. Understanding the challenges posed by extreme temperatures, high winds, avalanches, and thin air is essential for anyone attempting to conquer this formidable peak.

For those who dream of scaling Everest, meticulous planning, physical conditioning, and respect for the mountain’s volatile climate are the keys to success. With the right preparation, climbers can not only enhance their chances of reaching the summit but also ensure their safety in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

" No, you mis- " But there was no room in the conversation for he, meek when confronted with a man of title && importance, who wished his head on a pike. If Zehab had been given a chance to put voice to his desires, to the respect he'd hoped to pay Alistair. There was an accue awareness of his villainy, and it was a throbbing rush of blood in his ears, heart sinking deeper towards his mud-caked boots with each word, slick with venom, that fell from Alistair's lips.

It was nothing Zehab had not thought to himself on his worser nights... words he'd whispered to no one but his shadow, flickering in the candlelight. Meredith had worked tirelessly in reversing his thoughts, and she'd been successful; but oh, how quickly did they come cascading back down upon him with Alistair's predictions. Zehab had wanted to offer the other a place at the table, whenever he liked; to continue a public opinion of parentage, for Robert's sake mostly. He'd wanted to apologize, on a knee, if he must- but now... all the good intention that had built up a speech for redemption fell to nothing, and Zehab's expression hardened as he endured the tongue-lashing, the slurry of threats that left him feeling cold, and empty. Alistair saw what the others did not; that his heroics were nothing but conditioning, years under a strict father of the English Guard.

The pair of them stood pure opposites, and in each, represented what the other feared most. For Zehab, it was that his decision would always be wrong. To stay, to go... for Alistair represented everything he was not, could not be, and how outmatched his place would remain. Though it was an easier pill to swallow, to be stowed away in France... though Zehab had a suspicion miles were no matter for the Viscount. His heart was a hoofbeat thundering onwards, even though he had gone still as statue, eyes hard as he combatted the urge to shout, to shove, to cry, to run... " I believe you. " A brutal confession to make, voice quiet, the insult to injury obviously landing it's mark flawlessly. Though his face did not betray it, Alistair would have caused more damage had he sank a real knife into the new chevalier. The tone was defeated, as he spoke, and Zehab only continued after raking his tongue over dry lips. " ...and I do not wish to fight you. Do as you feel you must, and we shall see if I can weather it. " Some nights, he felt unsure himself if he could. " You were here when I was not, and any decent, good, honest man would defend that. I will not hold your actions against you. "

The nature of a Wright is to adapt. They take the mess and imperfection presented to them, and work it into their favor. And though Alistair has evolved past the humble roots of his name, with his varying degrees and political influence, it is a nature that is as embedded into him as breathing itself. He's kept a close pulse on the evolution of Zehab's place at French court. Listened keenly to Rhysand, Meredith, and Robert as their take on the man changed. Noted the date and time when his spies confirmed - he is to be the new chevalier of the Bourbon's circle. And with all that information, Alistair does what he does best. He analyzes the situation, without a wavering heart or a pronounced ego. And once he is done, he makes his move.

"My thoughts exactly." Alistair echoed, purposeful in his laying in wait at the family's sitting room. Of course, he kept a close eye on Zehab's coming and going as well. Right on time, he thinks. He turns to look upon the man - the only person that could scare Alistair Wright. But there is power in taking back control, and he is the first to speak. "It seems you've won the battle. A fancy title for your act of valor, or should I say, knee jerk reaction." He dismisses, with a scoff. "Rhysand's blessing. Meredith's trust. I'd be impressed, if any of it came to you intentionally." But he is a fool, stumbling into a triumph. There is nothing admirable in that.

"I assume it's all a formality now. Meredith's hand. Robert's true parentage. Making a home in your miserable plot of land in the middle of nowhere." Alistair pauses, to inspect Zehab's features. Beneath the ghost of him is nothing more than an aged, lackluster man. Nothing to fear. No - now Zehab had everything to lose, and Alistair had everything to gain once he trips. "I will not fight you - or rather, fight the will of my son." No matter who Zehab claimed himself to be, Alistair will never concede that point.

"But know this. The war? It's far from over. You, sir," he mocks the title with a sneer. "You will fail; at court and its politics, as husband and father. And the moment you slip - my spies will ensure it comes back to me. And my family will ensure the deed is done, and you are gone. For good." And it is no empty promise - simply ask the long list of skeletons buried by the Wright's will.

As Sweet As Honey - Chapter 7

Sy's truck crunched over the gravel of his driveway as he pulled into the covered parking spot at the side of his cabin. As he shut the engine off you could hear Akia barking when she recognised the sound of the engine, Sy gently patting your leg;

"She's going to be so excited to see you"

He smiled, but you could see the concern in his eyes. Back at your cottage Tamara had arrived in a tornado of hugs and reassurances, but it'd done little to calm your nerves over the fact your abuser had not only finished his parole and was allowed to leave the state, was hundreds of miles off route for what he said his destination was, and you knew how he'd always insisted on taking the most direct route anywhere he went, even if it meant dangerous roads in bad weather.

The first few spots of rain started to hit the ground and you felt Sy squeeze your thigh;

"As much as i'd like to see that pretty little dress of yours go see through in the rain lets not hang around, once Akia gets wet she stinks the cabin out with wet mutt scent"

Smiling you hopped out, Sy grabbing the bag you'd hastily packed with some clothes and your laptop, the pair of you running quickly to the front door, Sy darting out to the yard to release Akia from her leash before the pair of them ran back under the cover of the porch. The big dog was all wriggles when she saw you, a now familiar face in her life. You petted her and gave her fuss as Sy moved around his cabin, switching lamps on and getting you settled in. He lifted your bag and pointed hooked his thumb to his bedroom;

“I’m gonna put this in here, i’ve cleared a drawer for you to keep your stuff in”

You could feel a lump form in your throat at his gesture, the casual thoughtfulness something you weren't used to in a relationship.

Once he'd dropped your bag he pulled you into his arms, enveloping you in his strength and warmth. You felt like the worries of the world slipped away whilst you were in that cocoon of his arms, that the big wide world was just a bad dream. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and pulled back, waiting for you to meet his gaze;

"Dinner and a movie? Or dinner and talk?"

"Dinner and talk"

-

Your meal had been quick and easy, but no less delicious. Sy had made garlic bread from a loaf he'd baked that morning, combined with what Antonio had gifted him from the restaurant; fresh burrata cheese which had been drizzled with delicate honey and sprinkled with chopped pistachio nuts.

With the dishes cleaned away the two of you had curled up together on the couch, your time to explain your past had finally arrived;

"We met in college, James was a Senior when I was a Freshman. I didn't have that much experience with boys so I was flattered that he was interested… turns out he wanted someone he could control. We got married over the Summer between my Junior and Senior years, and when it came to returning for the Fall semester James started to change. He would have my timetable synced with his phone, and if I was more than 2 minutes late getting out of class he would start the mind games and accuse me of cheating. So many times Tamara walked me to his car and wouldn't leave until James accepted that class ran over. That worked fine until she had to have her workplace assignments in the Summer semester and wasn't around campus… that's when the hitting started."

You heard Sy exhale through his nose but didn't look to his face, you weren't ready and still had more to tell;

"James would never hit me when we were in public, he would just act like the perfect husband, but the second the front door to our apartment shut…" you paused, the memory of it causing you to tense; "He would hit me, just the once each time, but he'd use his fist and hit me in my back. The pain was excruciating. He knew exactly where to hit to cause the most prolonged pain, but to make it look like an accidental injury, that i'd fallen on something. There was one time…" your voice started to waiver but you paused and took a deep breath; "I'd gotten a ride home with Tamara as he'd had to work late, but because i'd invited her in for a coffee he was furious as hadn't 'checked' with him in advance. Tam was in the bathroom whilst i was rinsing some dishes in the kitchen, i heard footsteps but thought it was her, only for him to just come up behind me and land a punch in the center of my back. That was the beginning of the end if i'm being honest as Tam walked in whilst my legs were buckling. I'd learnt not to cry, i just compartmentalised and disassociated when it happened by that point"

You finally looked up at Sy and it almost broke your heart. He was blinking away the tears, you hadn't even considered that what you were saying would be difficult for someone who cared about you to hear;

"Sy, it's ok. It's over now"

He let out a very shaky sigh, nodding;

"I know Honey, but I just… I mean, we all have our emotional scars, but you're just so strong now. I'm sorry you went through that"

You reached out for him and he pulled you onto his lap, pressing his forehead to yours and laying a light kiss to the end of your nose to which you looked up at him;

"Do you need a break?"

"A break?"

"Before i tell you the rest"

He paused, before shaking his head;

"No, it's good that we get this all done in one go"

"Tam at that point pulled me aside at school one day, and with the help of our student support made me realise that what was happening wasn't my fault. Her husband was a cop and on his day off, he explained plainly what kind of evidence would be needed for an arrest and conviction, and at that point they helped me set up Nanny cameras"

"So you took that to the cops?"

"Not quite. It was around Thanksgiving and we'd travelled upstate to see his parents. The roads were icy and even after his Dad had said he shouldn't drive after drinking, he still insisted we head home. On a narrow road we spun out going over a bridge and the car ended up in the river below. The car was half submerged and when the cops arrived they found James first and pulled him out, but as they did the car got caught in the current and was washed over a waterfall. James had said there was no-one else in the car…"

"Fuck" Sy's voice was quiet; "How did you…"

"How did they realise I was still in the car? James was still drunk so when he was in the back of the ambulance he let slip that he hadn't been alone. The EMT's radioed back to the cops that were still on scene and they went into the water and pulled me out. They rushed me to the ER in their cruiser as by that point hypothermia had set in"

"You're not angry that they missed you the first time?"

Thinking about Sy's question you considered your thoughts before shaking your head;

"No, it wasn't their fault. It was dark and they'd had verbal confirmation from the driver that no one else was in the vehicle. If anything it increases my anger and hatred for my abuser" you paused; "but that doesn't diminish the feelings of fear i get of him being anywhere near me"

"How did you get away from him in the end?"

"The cops arrested him for driving under the influence whilst he was in hospital. When the statements of the First Responders came in about how he'd lied about me not being in the vehicle they added attempted manslaughter. My emergency contact was Tam so when the hospital called her she brought the evidence from the Nanny cams too. It was enough to get him locked up until trial as no-one posted bail"

Sy was silent for a long time, thinking over what you’d told him and he was absolutely positive that you had held back on a lot of the details, but that didn’t matter to him. All that mattered was that you were safe with him and he’d do everything in his power to keep you safe;

“So you haven’t seen him since that night?”

You shook your head;

“I testified via videolink. The city had a great public defender that made sure domestic violence survivors didn’t have to face their abusers in person. Tam testified in person and said that James tried to stare her down the entire time, but she just ignored him. He was sentenced to 4 years but got out after 3 for ‘good behaviour’, however throughout the whole time he sent threatening letters to my old address. The second he was released he was served with the restraining order. He’s not allowed to come within 200ft of me or my property”

“Does he know where you live?”

“I don’t think so, but the fact that he has entered the state has enough to make sure i don’t turn my back to a room at the moment, at least not until i know he’s heading in the opposite direction.”

There was a moment of silence before he pulled you to his chest and you instinctively hooked your nose beneath his chin. Warm hands smoothed over your back, comforting you. You felt like you were in a cocoon, safe and secure where nothing could threaten you or all you’d worked so hard for. With the brush of Sy’s beard on your face you relaxed to the point of slumber, drifting off into a calm and peaceful sleep.

-

When you woke it was dark, the warm embrace of Sy’s arms still around you, but this time you could tell you were in his bed. Twisting onto your side you smiled wearily and fell back into a deep safe sleep.

-

The sound of a shower woke you a second time, soft pale daylight of the early morning hinted at the windows of the cabin. Turning you realised you were alone in the bed, slipping silently out from beneath the covers you had a thought and a smile spread over your face. Quickly locating your bag you pulled a shower cap from your wash bag and pulled it on, before shedding your clothing and stepping into the steamy bathroom.

You could see the outline of Sy’s tall body where the window on the other side of the bath cast a silhouette through the shower curtain. He turned towards the shower and you could tell he had raised his face into the water, so now was your time to strike. Crossing the small room you carefully pulled the far end of the shower curtain and carefully stepped into the old enamel tub. As you pulled the curtain back in place one of the metal rings clinked against the rail, making you freeze, your eyes darting to Sy who still stood with his back to you, his face in the jets of water, and he let out a little chuckle;

“Honey, if you think you can sneak up on me you’ve got another thing comin’”

He turned and grinned at you, watching you watch him as the soapy bubbles trailed down his body. You couldn’t help but to gratuitously look at Sy in all his naked glory. You missed the smirk tug at the corner of his mouth as he watched you watching him, instead your gaze was transfixed upon the slow creep of his hands as he started to softly tug at his dick, watching it start to swell and grow from its already impressive state. Taking a single step forwards closed the space between you, tilting your head as your mouths met for a brutal kiss, whilst your hand moved to join his, wrapping around his hot girth. 

When you pulled away from his lips, Sy let out a small whimper of loss, before watching as you got to your knees, never breaking eye contact. He was hot and heavy in your hand, filling your grasp as you moved your fist up and down. Tentatively you leaned forwards, taking just the tip into your mouth and letting your tongue lave against the smooth red tip.

Sy let out a strangled groan and his knees trembled a little, his hand shooting out to rest against the windowsill whilst the other settled atop your head;

“Baby… please…” he begged quietly.

Staring into those ice blue eyes you opened your mouth and took him as deep as you could, relishing the feel of marble beneath silk, his hardness growing until your cheeks were filled and your throat was cut off from precious air. With what little room you had left in your mouth you worked your tongue softly against the underside, the thick ridge of muscle that ran the length pulsing under your ministrations.

You wrapped your hand around the base of his shaft, grasping him tightly as you moved your head back and forth, letting saliva pool in your mouth and escape from the corners of your lips.

“Oh fuck…” Sy cursed; “That’s so good, get me nice and sloppy, such a good girl”

Sy cupped your cheek, his hand moving back to the top of your head, unsure where to put his hands. Reaching up you grabbed both and pulled them down until they were resting on the back of your head, nodding slightly so he got the message that it was ok.

“Oh god… you’re fucking perfect” he muttered as he started to rock his hips back and forth just a little, fucking your mouth as you relaxed your jaw a little more; “So fucking perfect… look at you with my dick in your mouth, feels so good, that’s it girl, take it deeper”

On a couple of thrusts he got just a fraction too deep and you could feel your eyes start to water, but thankfully your gag reflex behaved itself. You rested your hands on the tops of Sy’s thighs, the muscles tense beneath your touch, and you could tell he was getting close. Slipping one hand between his legs you softly cupped his balls and was rewarded with a guttural groan from above;

“Fuck… do that again and i’m gonna cum down your pretty throat”

Maintaining eye contact you did exactly that, softly cupping and cradling his balls in your palm. You heard him groan as they pulled tight to his body, then the tell tale tremble of cum travelling through his shaft before that salty splash as it hit your tongue. Quickly swallowing he finished on your tongue, pulling free of your mouth as his hand flew to the windowsill and his knees wobbled. His other hand hooked under your arm, helping you to your feet until he could pull you flush to his chest, kissing you fiercely before you pushed him away;

“Sy! I haven’t even brushed my teeth, you’ll be tasting yourself!”

“Nothin’ wrong with that Honey, just a reminder that you were kind enough to do that for me” he let out a contented sigh, before his demeanor immediately changed and he let out a string of ‘OH’s. Quickly spinning around he shut the water off before turning back to you;

“Hot water just ran out… it’s gonna be a while before the tank refills i’m afraid. I know you don’t like cold water…”

With a smile you were thankful for his actions, even in the post orgasmic haze he was probably in;

“No problem”

At that moment a series out loud woof’s and barking came from the other side of the door;

“Uh-oh, need to let Akia out, she only gets like that when she’s gotta ‘go’ go”

-

It didn’t take long until you had dried off what parts of you had gotten wet and dressed in yoga pants and loose t-shirt loaned from Sy, assuring him that you were fine by yourself for the half hour it would take him to walk Akia across the meadow as he did the morning check on the beehives. Setting your laptop up on the small desk in the back of Sy’s bedroom, you plugged your headphones in so you could listen to the morning zoom meeting.

It was 45 minutes later when you glanced at the time in the corner of your screen and you realised that Sy wasn’t back, your stomach grumbled so you decided to seek out some coffee. Switching your wireless headphones to connect to your playlist, you were in your own little world as you wandered into the kitchen, turning the corner only to be greeted by a stranger leaning into the fridge. Shocked blue eyes stared at you from behind floppy dark hair, a youthful attempt at stubble dusted over the stranger’s face. You let out a scream, stumbling back until your hip touched the table as you scrambled for something to protect yourself with, your fingers curling around the handle of the iron skillet Sy had seasoned on the stove the previous night. Holding it up like a baseball bat you yelled;

“WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!”

The young man dropped the slice of cooked bacon he had been about to eat, holding his hands up in surrender;

“Okay crazy lady, i could say the same about you”

“I asked first!” you demanded, shaking the pan a little, before suddenly the back door of the cabin opened, Akia running in and making a beeline for the dropped bacon, Sy standing in the doorway as both you and the startled young man faced off in his kitchen.

Crossing the room to you in just a few strides, Sy pulled the skillet from your grasp, trying but failing to contain his amusement;

“Darlin’, i want you to meet Mike, Walter’s kid”

Your eyes went wide;

“This is Walter’s son?”

You looked to the man by the fridge who had now shut the door and was giving Akia ear scratches as she leant against his leg;

“Sure am Sweetcheeks”

Forget Laurel and Yanny. Did Cecily call Adam a moron?

I don’t know about you but yesterday, I couldn’t stop “hearing” about what the people who listened to a certain audio file heard. Most insisted it was one thing: just not the same thing.

That became the Yanny-Laurel debate. What you think you heard became the side you were on. Sometimes listeners even switched teams. They’ve even been known to switch back.

this is rather random but did any of your caphrey au’s come to be? especially the ww2 one with those humphrey edits?

Hi, Anon! It’s not random at all 😊 (Also, so sorry for the late reply) 

I have a million different au ideas floating around everywhere, and because I have the attention span of a fruit fly, they’re all in various different stages of completion. Also, procrastination is a b!tch. I wish I was one of those amazing writers on here who can spit out a fic in five minutes, but sadly I’m not. 😕

I know I said I’d like to post some of my fics last year, which didn’t happen because shiny new ideas and hobbies kept swaying my attention. But this year! This year I hope to at least post one of my fics. I plan on coming up with a new writing schedule to help with all of that. Wish me luck. 

The WW2 au is still in the outlining/research stage. (The plot keeps changing like the freaking weather!) And I want this fic to be as true and historically ‘Accu-Rat’ as possible. Plus, I still need to figure out why the hell the Captain was stationed at Button house for in the first place. I have some ideas, though none fully formed just yet. 

Sorry if this answer has filled you with a bit of disappointment, so I hope you and others enjoy these newer WW2 Caphrey au edits as compensation -
