MINORS DON’T INTERACT

author note: My first fanfic, y’all! I feel like, instead of using janitor ai (don’t use it, it’s hella addictive and made me burn through my money), I could use my imagination and potential to write something for my main beloved, Nanami Kento. I love this man and in my head, we are living together in Malaysia, having the time of our lives, haha. Also, I thought I was going to do a quick drabble, but I got into my feels, haha.

Please, please give me feedback and critique so I can improve on my writing. Thank you and enjoy!!! <3

The chirping birds started to grow louder and more annoying outside the large French windows with the soft, peaching-colored morning light streaming in, faint flapping of the pale curtains echoing with shared breaths. You groan softly against your white silk pillow along with your blurry vision, from your deep slumber, as you rub your eyes and look around, dazed. You felt the light breeze of the open ajar window on your bare leg, out of the fluffy blanket, contrasting with the deep warmth soaked into the mattress from the sleep.

Your eyes move around, to anchor yourself into reality, until they settle down at a large, ivory back which had light red scratches along with crescent moon shaped indents littered over his rugged muscles, rippling with each soft breath. His messy golden blonde hair that you loved to run your fingers in, slightly swaying with the early dawn breeze, along the warm yellow sunlight, giving him that morning glow that made him look…like a god, a figment of your imagination.

Last night’s memories were reeling in like a blurry movie, reminiscing on your stomach with your head and facing his back, as you remember his sweet deep chocolate eyes, his slightly pink blush on his face, and…my god, those large, veiny hands all over your body, rough but gentle on your soft skin.

Sighing softly, not wanting to wake him up yet, go down this deep spiral with your fingers itching to touch him….how did you even meet this man? Was it at the office Christmas party where he was wearing that ridiculous, fluorescent green elf costume as your white-haired boss had made me for a pay raise? Or when you both bumped into each other in the hallway before math class during senior year, your nose bleeding as you bumped into his chest too hard and he assisted you to the nurse’s office?.....no,no…..oh my god! How could you forget?

It was that night…..that night where you all were freshman in high school and it was the camp site trip that you all had to go to as a bonding activity for all the new students which you were part of. You remember you were really nervous as a tiny, little 13 year old. You were new to Tokyo and Japan, overall, not looking like the others and the culture so vastly different from yours which made it difficult to fit in, your family or teachers help you with. This was nicely added with you going through puberty, the whole nine yards of acne and changing body, made you more quiet and shy to talk to others.

In your ensemble of light washed jeans, your oversized purple flannel shirt and black Converse high tops, you were sitting on the wooden benches near the camp-fire under the starry, twilight sky, shivering slightly from the cold, autumn night in the forest near Kyoto. You were alone, with everyone talking to each other excitedly, with some others playing games and singing karaoke, and watching all the kids with a small smile on your face.

Then, you felt a warm blanket around your body, causing you to have goosebumps all over your skin. You looked up with wide eyes from the brushing of their fingers on your neck to the warm presence behind your back, surprised and making you jolt up, but a soft hand pushed you down to sit back. “Sorry, did I scare you?” His soft and low voice, almost purring, caused you to shiver more but you held back your reaction as you turned your head completely around, wanting to know who it was. You caught those soft, brown eyes, reminding you of that deep brown honey under the sunlight, making you feel more awake than any other coffee.

You quickly get out of your reverie and stutter out as you brush your hair back, looking away. “No! Not a-at all…just got surprised.”,offering him a smile as you try to not to fluster even more. You notice his blonde hair, straightened to the T and his bangs covering his eyes which you didn’t like but didn’t say that out loud, and his black shirt with a band name you never heard of with his black skinny ripped jeans.

You clear your throat as you look into his eyes, “H-hi, my name is f/n l/n….what’s your…name?” You were fidgeting with the soft, baby blue wool blanket with your fingers, as you both sat next to each other with your knee brushing against his, ever so slightly. He grins a little more as he had a deadpan face before, making your heart and insides all melted and mushy inside, showing his pearly whites. He says in that voice that you could just listen to all the time. “Kento….Nanami Kento…but you can call me Ken.”

You memorize that name, as it was tattooed to your naive heart, as you nod slowly and say quietly. “Nice to meet you…Ken.” You both sat there in silence with all the loud commotion around you both. You didn’t know what to say as the tense silence was swallowing you up and you quickly ask and at the same time, looking at the bright scarlet camp fire, “You should go hang out to your friends…”, peeking to the side to look at his face longer, but looking away when he caught your eyes and your face becoming hot with each passing second.

He sighed loudly as he stretched his legs out and watched the white-haired hyper kid screaming happily at the black-haired boy who looked so done with him, but had a small smile. After some moments of more silence, Kento spoke with a small smile and turned to face you, “You looked….lonely….like me and…”, now looking away as you caught some peach-colored blush on his cheeks. “You looked like you were glowing…like the fire.”

You remember how you became quiet, flustered and frozen by the compliment and you remembered you thanked him meekly which was so cute and how you hit yourself internally for how dumb it was. However, the rest of that night, you both started to talk more freely and understood that you both had a lot in common, in terms of family background and not really fitting in due to your particular tastes.

Despite being amicable acquaintances all through high school and losing contact when entering university, once you both reunited, it felt right. You both were meant to be together and glowing in each other’s arms and affection.

You were shaken out of your deep thoughts as you felt the bed rustling lightly. You looked up and saw his face turned to you now. You were slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of his handsome and rugged face, but you quickly smiled widely, “Good morning, honey.” Snuggling closer to him and him taking you in his buff arms, making you all so warmer, he murmured in your messy hair, his morning voice low and reverberating through your body, “What were you thinking about so hard, darling? You laugh softly as you nuzzle your face in the crook of his neck and your arms around his shoulders, and whisper muffled against his warm skin that smelled like sandalwood and musk, that was so unique to him, “I was just thinking…..how you were glowing…..like the sun.”

🆃🅷🅴 1987 🅷🅾🅳🅳🅻🅴 🆂🆃 🅼🅰🆂🆂🅰🅲🆁🅴, 🅸🅽 🅼🅴🅻🅱🅾🆄🆁🅽🅴 🅰🆄🆂🆃🆁🅰🅻🅸🅰

This write up is quite long, and explains in detail the formative events in Julian's life, as well as the events that directly contributed to his actions.

Julian Knight was born March 4th 1968 in Melbourne Australia. When he was 10 days old he was adopted by Pamela Anne Knight and Ralph Knight. Ralph was an Army Captain, his role was as an education officer in the Royal Australian Army Educational Corps. He was a qualified teacher who taught literacy, numeracy, and later on Mandarin to soldiers. Before retiring he would reach the rank of Major.

Between 1968 and 1975 the Knight family moved regularly, spending time in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Melbourne. In 1975 the family travelled through South East Asia, before returning to Melbourne to settle down for good.

In January 1976, Julian is encouraged by his father to take part in Cub Scouts, and he does so until 1968 when he graduates from Cub Scouts to Scouts, which he continues until 1979.

In February 1980 Julian begins high school, and in March 1980, his parents separate, and the same month Julian's father gives him a Daisy Air Rifle. Then between May and November he works as a paper boy for the local newsagent, where he saves up enough money to purchase a Chinese Air Rifle.

In 1982 his parents finalise their divorce, and his mother moves the family from Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne's outer western suburbs, to Clifton Hill in the inner northern suburbs.

Beginning in June 1982 Julian begins training with the Norwood High School Army Cadet Unit, and in August he attends his first Army Cadets Camp at the Puckapunyal Military Base in Victoria. It is here that he fires an M16 for the first time.

In November 1972 he is involved in a fight at school and is suspended for the rest of the year (the school year in Australia finishes around December 19th).

In July, he applies for entry into the January 1986 intake of the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. In August he attends his fourth Army Cadets Camp, followed a week later, by his third Army Reserve Training Weekend. On August 13th, he attends examination day for entry to the Australian Defence Force Academy, however he fails due to poor school results and is told to re-apply to the Royal Military College, Duntroon, Canberra, for army officer cadet training.

October 1st 1985, Julian applies for enlistment into the Australian Army Reserve, before sitting his high school leaving exams in November. On November 26th he successfully enrols in the Australian Army Reserve as a Reservist Trainee Soldier. From December he trains as an Army Reservist Trooper.

In March, he is accepted into La Trobe University, as an undergraduate studying a Bachelor of Arts degree, and commences studying French, German History, and Politics. However, he drops out in May.

On March 4th Julian turns 18, which is the legal age you can apply for a firearms licence, and the day after his birthday he applies for a Victorian Shooters Licence. He is gifted a German Ruger 10/22 .22 calibre semi automatic rifle, which is a family heirloom, by his uncle.

In April, he attends the Army Reserve Assault Troopers Course at Puckapunyal, and on the day of his return home he is issued with an A, B, and C Category Victorian Shooters Licence. Then from April 26th to 11th of May, he attends the Army Reserve "A" Vehicle Course, in Sale, Victoria.

In November 1986, he attends the 4th/19th PWLH Regimental Annual Range Shoot Weekend at Puckapunyal. He attains the highest score in the regiment with the L1A1 Self-loading rifle.

On January 12th 1987, Julian begins his training at the Royal Military College Duntroon. During his time at the RMC, he states that he was the victim of continuous bastardisation and victimisation by senior staff cadets, beginning on his first day.

In April, 1987 Julian began dating a 17yo public servant named Meg. The victimisation of Julian, then escalated, and senior staff cadets would sexually assault Meg in front of him, on multiple occasions while socialising at civilian venues. The same cadets also assaulted another civilian female friend of Julian's named Liz.

By May, the victimisation and bastardisation had reached a zenith, where he would be given orders that were literally impossible to follow. For example, on a day in mid May, he was ordered to prepare tea, coffee, and toast for a group of senior cadets. The was initially ordered to prepare their orders while on the floor, having to crawl underneath chairs and tables, and then after 5 minutes the instructions changed and he was now to prepare their orders without touching the floor, being forced to jump between tables. They senior cadets then began to scream at Knight to hurry up, and when he was almost finished preparing their orders, they would change what they wanted forcing him to start over. When he hadn't finished their orders in 10 minutes, he was given a piece of toast slathered with butter, honey, and peanut butter, and ordered to force the entire piece into his mouth unbroken and to eat it. The senior cadets, then proceeded to throw the pieces of toast with butter and honey or peanut butter, up to the ceiling, in order to leave residue on the ceiling, which they then made Julian clean up. This is just a snapshot of the abuse he experienced while at RMC.

Between 26th and 29th of May, there was a field exercise, FEX. Samichon, where Julian was singled out for harsh criticism for making simple mistakes, that other cadets also made. At the end of the exercise, he received the lowest marks by a substantial amount. This left him feeling defeated. Upon returning to RMC, he had an incident with a senior cadet, and as a result of this, he left the base and drove to Belconnen mall, where he purchased a switchblade knife, with a 4in blade, as he wanted to be able to protect himself.

Over the next 18 hours, he was involved in a series of altercations with senior cadets, one which involved having a bayonet pressed into his chest, another involved a senior cadet pinning him against a wall and threatening to punch him in the face.

He was then informed by one of his senior cadets, that it was highly likely that he would be thrown out of the college, and that a better idea would be to resign before that happened. After receiving this news, he decided to desert his assigned duty that night, and instead attend the 18th birthday celebration of his civilian friend Deanne. He decided against wearing his uniform, instead dressing in casual clothes, and he placed his new switchblade in his pocket.

The celebrations began at the Ainslie Hotel, where they stayed until roughly 10.30pm, at which point they travelled to the Private Bin nightclub, which is the same nightclub that the senior cadets frequented. He had decided to resign on Monday, so he thought that he would just ignore anything that the senior cadets said or did. His group made sure to position themselves on the opposite side of the club from the senior cadets, however Staff Cadet Reed, repeatedly approaches Julian, and attempts to force him to return to base, but Julian refuses. This angers Reed who repeatedly places his hands on Julian, before security makes him back off. After Reed does this multiple times, at approximately 1.30am a scuffle breaks out between a group of 5 people, including Julian, Reed, Lance Corporal Thorp, an unnamed cadet, and a civilian who stood up for Julian.

Julian's group leaves the bar, and members of the group help calm him down. He is bleeding from the nose and eyebrow, after receiving multiple punches to the face. His girlfriend then says that she is returning to the club. Julian goes to the bus station to wash the blood off, and while there, he positions the knife so he can easily access it. He then joins the group back at the club.

After ordering a drink, another cadet approached him ,warning him that there was now a group of 9 senior cadets and a Drill Sergeant who were planning on assaulting him, with the intent of hospitalising him. This group is standing near the entrance to the main bar, staring and making threatening gestures towards Julian and his group.

Julian then formulates a plan to attack Reed and Thorpe first, as soon as they are in a position where he can quickly use the knife on them both. He watches the group, waiting for the perfect moment, and then at approximately 2.15am Thorpe leaves the bar. He then decides to attack Reed alone.

At roughly 2.55am Julian's group say that they are leaving the club, and going to one of the groups house. As they prepare to leave, he grabs the handle of the knife, and extended the blade. As his group began to head to the exit, Julian says he has to use the bathroom, and leave them together. He then makes his way through the club, and decides that it is time to attack. He approaches Reed from his blind spot, and when he is standing next to him, draws the knife from his pocket and thrusts the knife into the right side of Reed's head. The blade hit bone, and he withdrew it, and stabbed him again, behind the right ear, as Reed was collapsing to the floor.

As everyone looked at Reed in shock, Julian ran to the door, and on to the street.

He realised that he had accidentally cut his finger, so he wrapped it in his handkerchief, and made the decision to try and find a police car and hand himself in.

After running a few blocks he saw 2 members of the Australian Federal Police in a marked police car. He flagged them down and told them what he had done. He was transported to the Royal Canberra Hospital, to have the wound to his finger examined. While there he called the base and without identifying himself stated that "Lance Corporal Reed had been stabbed and Cadet Knight has been arrested". He was then informed that his wound required micro surgery, and that he would have Eto stay in hospital for 2 days. The police questioned him for roughly 90 minutes, before informing him that they were placing him under arrest for Malicious wounding with a knife.

3rd of June the RMC Board of Studies convenes and decides that Staff Cadet Julian Knight should be asked to "Show Cause" as to why his appointment as Staff Cadet should not be terminated, effectively ending his career as an Army officer.

12th of June, Julian appears before the ACT Magistrates Court on charges of malicious wounding, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and assault in relation to the stabbing on May 31st. He is bailed on a $5,000 self-surety to appear again on November 10th 1987. He then returns to Victoria.

On June 19th, Julian resigns from his appointment as a staff cadet at the Royal Military College, and from the Australian Regular Army, in a letter to the Chief of the General Staff. And on July 13th he completes his discharge procedure at Watsonia Army Base.

Back in Victoria, he moved back in with his mother, however she had converted his childhood bedroom into a second living room, so Julian was forced to sleep on the couch in the front room. He was unable to find a decent paying job, so he accepted a menial position as a casual storeman at a clothing firm. However the wages weren't enough to pay back the $6,000 army loan he took to purchase a car, and he also had roughly $1,200 in other debts. He was also feeling isolated, as his Melbourne girlfriend had moved on, and his Canberra girlfriend was in Canberra. So he began drinking copious amounts of alcohol, approximately 5 times as much as he was drinking in Canberra. He also received the information that his biological mother was living in South Africa, and had not responded to a letter that had been sent to her asking if she was willing to have contact with Julian.

On Sunday August 9th 1987, Julian awoke at roughly 11.30am. It was 16 days since his discharge from the army. At 1.30pm he attended a birthday party for his mother, at his grandmother's house. He left the gathering at 4.10pm, and while he was there he consumed 2 cans of beer. He drove his younger sister home, before paying a quick visit to his former girlfriend.

Upon leaving her house, his cars gearbox jammed, leaving the car stuck in 2nd gear. He made his way home, where he parked the car, and changed his outfit. He also drank a third beer, before angrily walking the short distance to his regular hangout, The Royal Hotel, arriving at around 5.30pm. None of his friends were there, so he drank alone for the next 3 hours and 20 minutes. At this stage his severely depressed mood, coupled with extreme intoxication, manifested in a psychotic vision of a soldier being ambushed, which when combined with his intense anger, extreme stress, and agitation caused him to experience what he later described to detectives as a "call to arms".

Five minutes later he was sprinting back to his mother's house.

When he arrived, he spoke briefly with his sister when he encountered her in the hallway. Once she had returned to the back of the house to continue watching TV with their mother, he ventured upstairs to retrieve his weapons that were stored under his mother's bed. He took the Ruger rifle, the M14, and the Mossberg shotgun, taking the Ruger and the Mossberg downstairs to the front room. He then collected the M14, and a steel ammunition case, and a leather shotgun cartridge belt from his mother's cupboard, taking them downstairs to the front room also.

He loaded the weapons, and filled his pockets with roughly 100 rounds of ammunition, including a "suicide" 7.62mm round which he placed in the front right pocket of his jeans. He placed a black combat knife down the back of his jeans, then slung the M14 across his back, and picked up the Mossberg and the Ruger in his right and left hands respectively.

At roughly 9.30pm, he ran out the front door, travelling west down Ramsden St and crossing the nearby train line, Julian reached the eastern side of the four lane major arterial road Hoddle St.

He reached the perfect ambush position, and began indiscriminately firing his weapons into cars travelling down Hoddle St. In a 15 minute period he fired 114 rounds from 3 weapons, killing 7 innocent civilians, and wounded a further 19, including 2 police officers.

After a 30 minute police chase to stop and find the shooter, 19 year old Julian Knight was arrested less than a kilometre away in Fitzroy North. His initial plan of committing suicide failed when he was unable to locate his "suicide" round, while surrounded by police, so instead he dropped his weapons, and handed himself in.

In the months following the shooting, Julian underwent a barrage of testing by a variety of professionals. He was then charged with 7 counts of murder, and 47 counts of attempted murder on June 6th 1988.

In early October 1988, following negotiations with the Department of Public Prosecutions, it was decided that he would plead guilty to all charges, in a plea deal. Julian believes that this deal was made with input from the Australian Army, as the main condition of the deal was that the abuse, victimisation, and bastardisation that he experienced at Duntroon would not be mentioned in court, and in exchange the Crown agreed that they would not oppose the setting of a minimum term to the life sentences he was guaranteed to receive.

On November 10th 1988, Julian appeared in the Supreme Court of Victoria for his sentencing hearing. Justice George Hampel sentenced him to Life Imprisonment for each of the counts of Murder, and 10 Years Imprisonment on each of the counts of Attempted Murder. The total sentence he received was Life Imprisonment with a minimum non parole term of 27 years (in Australia, Life Sentences aren't cumulative, and lesser sentences aren't cumulative on top of a Life Sentence, so people don't end up with crazy two or three hundred year sentences like in America. Also, nearly all people who receive Life Sentences will also receive a minimum non parole term, meaning that they have the opportunity to be released in usually 20-30 years, if they don't fuck up massively). Julian was eligible for parole in 2014, however his application has been denied at each parole hearing he has had.

Julian has his own website, where he talks about everything in depth, including his struggles in prison, which are too nuanced for me to get into. I highly suggest checking it out.

As Israel continues to bomb Palestinians in Gaza and attack Palestinians in the West Bank, global condemnation of Israel's occupation grows.

Tens of thousands worldwide have taken to the streets between October 13th - October 15th to rally in solidarity with Palestine. The people called for an end to Israeli bombing and the occupation of Palestine.

Several Governments have also voiced criticism of Israeli attacks on Palestine and have called for an end to the bombing of Gaza.

Cuba Brazil Colombia Venezuela Belize Russia Ireland Norway Indonesia Malaysia Oman Qatar Iraq Iran Kuwait Syria Morocco Algeria African Union South Africa

The Arab League and African Union released a joint statement calling on the international community to stop the unfolding humanitarian disaster and catastrophe before it is "too late." They have warned that the coming ground invasion could lead to a genocide of "unprecedented proportions."

However, in stark contrast, the European Council recently released a statement "condemn[ing] in the strongest possible terms Hamas and its brutal and indiscriminate terrorist attacks across Israel." In the same statement, they "strongly emphasize[d] Israel's right to defend itself in line with humanitarian... law."

The fact this condemnation comes over a week after Hamas' attack on the music festival is insulting. This past week has been filled with death from the constant bombardment of Gaza. Israel has dropped more bombs on Gaza in a week than the US dropped on Iraq in a year. There are now about 1 million displaced Palestinians in Gaza. In a week. The state of Israel gave no time for grief and no time for healing before it began its reckless bombing campaign; a campaign that has killed the very hostages they claimed to be freeing. They literally "bombed the freedom" into their own dead Israeli civilians. Israel does not care about its civilians. It would have heeded Egypt's warning about the incoming attack if it did. The State and Government of Israel only care about centralizing power and finalizing its ethnostate from river to sea. If Israelis have to die in the state's bombing campaign for that, so be it. Netanyahu's far-right government has demonstrated time and again that it doesn't give two shits about its Jewish citizens.

The State of Israel will never succeed in providing for the security and comfort of Israeli Jews. It will always fail in this goal. Not because of Hamas. Not because of Hezbollah. Not because of Iran. Not even because of Palestinian resistance to colonization. It will always fail in this goal because it simply isn't the Israeli State's goal. Israel was founded with the intention and goal of displacing the native Arab people to create an ethnostate, not with the primary goal of protecting Jews. Jewish Israelis will always be the State's collateral damage in its primary goal. And they will always be the international community's collateral damage for their security and political interests in the geopolitical region. They're human capital that can be thrown at a fight.

Palestinians are burying their loved ones in mass graves in Gaza. All the living members of 50 entire families have been wiped from the Gaza Civil Registry. The hospitals and morgues are overrun. Israel is bombing hospitals and schools and refugee camps and UN shelters and ambulances and journalists and detonating white phosphorus over civilians. The EU condemnation a week late is nothing short of tone-deaf. They don't care about the victims of terrorism. This statement's release at a time when some EU countries have broken from EU norms to condemn the violence inflicted on Palestinians serves to uphold the international status quo and maintain European security interests in the "Middle East." This comes as Israel continues to fire artillery into Lebanon, as Israel decommissioned Syrian airports in airstrikes, and as Hezbollah and Hamas forces in Lebanon have targeted Israeli settlements and barracks, bringing concerns of war spilling over the region. This also comes as tens of thousands have already taken to the streets to protest their government's stance on Palestine and as people continue to protest in solidarity with Palestine.

Do not look away. Make your opposition known.

#Call your elected officials about holding the Israeli government accountable #and ending their genocidal bombing campaign #Palestine

ABOUT

tl;dr: was born in a broken home in angelwoods, lost all his family by age 15 and from then on he fend for himself. knowing all he had left was himself, alex began working harder than ever to get through the last years of high school and applied to angelwood's university where he studied criminal justice for 4 years and for the first time learned what a real family looked like. once he graduated he moved to virginia after he enlisted in the fbi, did the whole process and once he was in he was situated in ny for a few years. he worked tirelessly, making a name for himself in the bureau al whilst never quite feeling happy. it wasn't until a life-altering trip to malaysia to visit his mother's family where he reconnected with lyla (an old crush who would later on become his girlfriend and ultimately, his wife) and a work accident that nearly took his life that the then agent realized he didn't quite enjoy the path he had taken in life and ultimately quit. alex and lyla began traveling the world together after he resigned, which gave him the time to write everything he had lived whilst working for the fbi down and he ended up turning one of his many stories into a book that surprisingly got picked by an indie publishing house in new york and got printed, it ended up becoming a best seller, earning him the title of author. somewhere in the haze of it all, his relationship with lyla began to suffer due to distance and the two of them wanting different things in life, and the two broke things off leaving completely heartbroken before even turning 30.

at age 35, with nothing tying him to ny and with a deal of two more books he had to work on, alex moved back to angelwoods trying to find both the inspiration and the feeling of belonging he had once felt while living in the little town many years ago.

FULL BIO SOON

𝖯𝖤𝖱𝖲𝖮𝖭𝖠𝖫𝖨𝖳𝖸

For the most part, Alexander is a very loving and caring person. He genuinely cares about making those around him happy, he is very protective of those he loves, sometimes to a fault. But he always has good intentions, unless you hurt someone he loves, then he can be hell on earth and he has the FBI on his side so really, don’t cross him.

He can get VERY hot-heated, he is a very passionate guy when something really interests him.

He’s basically tired ???? all the time??? he doesn’t sleep that much but he’s getting better at it now that he doesn’t sleep alone) but yeah, big part of his personality, either tired or drinking coffee.

Kind of a mess, he tries to hides it because he knows people around him need him and he wants to be there for them plus he is like, someone in the literature world now so, he has to appear to have it all together but... yeah

Honestly, just a very tired old golden retriever with an awful past he is still trying to deal with.

Omg, I had no idea you also eat balut! I looked it up and the banana leaves, the vinegar, the spices. I looked up some other Cambodian food and it reminds me of this Instagram video I saw the other day with this Cambodian girl visiting her mother. Her mother made shrimp fried rice and a couple other dishes and it almost made me tear up a little because of how familiar it looks. It looks like the fried rice my mom taught me how to make, especially if it's cooked in a big wok that's scratched and slightly burned at the bottom from years of use. Plus the little vinegar on the side with minced garlic and chili peppers. If I ever find it again I'll send it to you. I'm looking at desserts now and you're right too about the coconut and palm sugar! We also use banana plantains and mangoes, and let's not forget the banana leaves (what is NOT wrapped in banana leaves or rice paper, lol). You're right that there's similarities between our cultures even if we speak different languages, and I just love that about us. And what I find especially endearing is our abbreviation as Southeast Asians, it's SEA. It's just so 🤍

*hugs you tightly* I remember learning a little bit about that in school, it's sad it's briefly talked about in class and I only learned more about it from reading YA books at the library. There was a book I read from the school library when I was 12 years old that I cannot remember what it was called, but I vividly remember the cover and the story because it stuck with me more than 10 years later. It was about a Cambodian girl where she and her older sister were put in a camp and she loved her sister dearly, but her older sister died before they could make it to the United States. Her memory of her was them dancing together and she carries her memory with her whenever she dances. I feel the 70s was a hard time for SE Asia because my dad was in college, my mom in high school at the time too when the Philippines was put under martial law during the Marcos dictatorship. Particularly in the province my family is from, there were a lot of massacres and brutality from the dictatorship. My dad told me he even remembers there was a time a lot of Vietnamese people came to the Philippines to escape the war. Not pitting us against other Asian nations, but you are right and I feel that SE Asian nations have a specific kind of generational and cultural trauma from colonialism that is different compared to other nations, even if some of us are separated by a sea. It's a pain we all feel and a wound we all suffer from in some way. But we are stronger when we stand together 🤍🤍

I know that got kinda dark so back to the lighter stuff! I can totally imagine Namor and Namora casually eating Cambodian food, not minding the spice but don't tell Attuma it's spicy until he starts coughing and sweating. That's what he gets for oversleeping and missing their morning meeting 🤣🤣🤣

For balut, we call it something else lol (pong thea koun). But yes, many dishes we do share, and i think it’s the infuences from trade route and such. We eat rice with spoon and fork too, and if we do it traditional way, definitely by hand, on the straw mat 🤣 Also we use banana leaves, lotus leaves, and palm leaves as well ! the thing that I miss the most while living here is drinking palm juice out of bamboo tubes. The taste just so distinct, and there’s nothing like it. I remember when I was young and visited my grandfather’s hometown, and the island was fully of mangoes! I remembered eating the green ones because I love sour mangoes more than the ripe one tbh, dipping them in spicy shrimp paste or spicy chili salt.

The 70′s was truly a really tragic time for most SEA people. My in-laws were actually among the Vietnamese refugees a then camp at the Philippine. I think they were there for about two years before they managed to come to the US. My relatives were refugees in Malaysia/Indonasia. Everyone was trying to escape war and find a better life. They have to leave everything behind, and honestly, that sort of trauma does stick with you to these days, even generation later.

But yes, moving from the dark stuff, I need Attuma to introduce me to fresh water dolphin! There’s a legend about it, and I need to know if it’s true 🤣🤣🤣 I imagine him just hanging out by the river dock, and calls me over to meet his friend, the fresh water dolphin that everyone thought went extinct.

#linda answered #my SE Asian sister 🥰

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

May 22nd - Komodo

Melati Kusuma was born in Malaysia and she and her family relocated to the United States during her infancy. Melati grew up a bright and highly precocious child whose intellect often left her feeling impatient with those around her. This contributed to her becoming quite impulsive and prone to distraction. Just days after earning her license to drive a car, Melati was driving far too fast and was involved in a terrible accident that caused her to lose both of her legs.

Melati struggled with this turn of events and what she hated the most was feeling that other people pitted her. She loathed being seen as just ‘the poor girl in the wheelchair.’

As such, Melati became socially withdrawn and dedicated herself to her academics. She particularly excelled in the fields of biology and cellular genetics. Melati earned a full scholarship to Empire State University where she became a prized pupil of Professor Curt Conners. Conners had previously devised a formula that used reptilian genetic material as part of an effort to regrow his lost arm. The formula had unexpected side effects and caused him to transform into the monstrous super villain known as The Lizard. Conners had reverted to his human form with the help of Spider-Man and ultimately returned to teaching. When Melati discovered Conner’s formula, she felt certain she could improve upon it and regrow her lost legs without side-effects.

Melati succeeded in this regard, yet not as completely as she had hoped. Taking the formal did enable Melati to regrow her legs, but it also transformed her into a reptilian being, with enhanced straight and dexterity, sharpened claws and a long, prehensile tail. Unlike Conners, however, Melati retained her original consciousness and could control this new form under her own volition.

Professor Conners was both proud and upset over what Melati had done; all of this was occurring in the backdrop of the conclusion of the first superhero Civil War and Conner’s made arrangements for Melati to be registered as a super powered individual and attend Camp Hammond to better learn how to use her newfound super abilities. As such, Melati (who had opted for the new alias of ‘Komodo’) became one of the first trainees of the Avengers Initiative program. Although she continued to struggle with impulsivity and rash decision making, Komodo excelled as a part of The Initiative and was quickly placed on the program’s field team.

Melati retained her reptilian form whenever she was conscious, yet reverted back to her human form whenever she slept. She kept her original form a closely guarded secret and became very angry when her teammate, Hardball, accidentally saw her asleep, human and without her legs. Hardball agreed to keep her secret and the pair ended up having a rather tumultuous romance together.

Komodo would go on to have numerous adventures as part of the Initiative, ultimately assigned to the Arizona-based squad, The Heavy Hitters. Once the Initiative program was shut down, Komodo was invited to join the Avengers Academy but she turned the offer down.

The heroine first appeared in the pages of Civil War: Battle Damage Report #1 (2007).

TMA Season 3

Okay so somehow I’m almost done w Season 4 and I forgot to post my notes for Season 3. Whoops.

A Guest for Mister Spider pops off so hard. The Web serves cunt and that’s all it ever does.

Elias is a bitch and I like him so much

His Daisy voice is so infuriatingly hilarious

Drawing a Blank v good and also proposes the hypothesis that all good retail managers die grisly deaths, which I think might be worth looking into

Melanie said this place needs some GIRL POWER and she’s fucking right!!!!

Upon the Stairs slaps and it’s such an angsty, juicy look at what Jon might deal with as his humanity slips away

Tim asking Melanie about the two Sashas... Jesus Christ

THE BLANKET NEVER DID ANYTHING

The plumber guy who gets called to the Stranger camp in Gwydir Forest is so fucking funny... learn what flensing is, my guy

D-I-G

Nooooo they lost the calliope!

Jude Perry... hot ;)

“I lied.” *sound of screaming* YESSSSSSSS

Tim jetting off to fucking Malaysia... my man is going through it

Michael Crew is really just some guy huh

Also him window-shopping for an Entity is so fucking funny.

Aww just some guy who got merc’d :(

Scary Daisy my beloved

Elias calling the police like, “Hello, I am going to get my ass beat in 15min so please send help then.”

One big happy (hostage) work family <3

Containment fucks me up so fucking bad. The horror aspect of it with the Corruption is already freaky, but the angst is more upsetting tbh. The image of the father-in-law looking at Lester with the purple mold creeping into his eye veins is haunting

Jon spends the entire first season bitching about Martin not knowing what he’s doing and everyone being unprofessional af and now Georgie’s like, “Bitch name one single qualification you have for being head archivist”

The moment you die will feel exactly the same as this one :)

Fellas... is it gay to give your homie a kiss before leaping to your death after a week-long hunt for a supernatural deserter?

Basira is so fucking funny. Queen of reading.

There being a Breekon and no Hope gets me. He wanted to call it Breekon and Sons!!!

Just. The image of Jan Kilbride sitting all by himself in the car in front of the pit, crying, right before Gertrude kills and dismembers him to stop the Sunken Sky is so fucked up. God.

Tim and Jon are fightinggggg

Also it’s so interesting how Tim and Melanie are the only ones who ever bring up that the Institute is obviously evil and doing what it wants makes them evil. Everyone else just buried that shit and then one day they’ll die.

Elias said Melanie please get better at attempting murder or knock it the fuck off :/

Michael archives assistant!!!

Beholding Avatar powers include being soooo good at getting kidnapped

Martin really paid that bitch his own money for her shitty ghost story huh

Tim getting the paranoid urban explorer guy is especially hurtful and that man is lowkey lucky to be alive

Peter Lukas is so fucking funny. He banished that guy to the Lonely for the crimes of a) not knowing where Elias’s office is and b) being kind of annoying

Another Twist is so fucking gooooood. Nikola talking to Elias through the recorder is very camp and then just everything with Michael.

HE. TRUSTED. HER.

The door just. Not opening when Jon tries it is so fucking funny

HELEN TO THE RESCUE(ish)!!!!!!!

Oh my god he was gone for a fucking month

Elias is like, “Unfortunately, sometimes you have to beat a man to death with a pipe.”

idk a Frenchmen totally ignoring his hygiene to become a broodmother to a giant monster scarab doesn’t seem that supernatural to me?

I need you all to know that since middle school I have been a vocal proponent of the viewpoint that pigs are monsters that would eat a person given the chance, to the point where it’s become an inside joke w my close friends and family... the monster pig episode was validating af

But also imagine looking for evidence of the supernatural circus skinning people and stealing it for their dark rituals and instead you get Monster Pig Eats Clown

Jon using his powers to compel people to give him blackmail material lmao

Tim :(

God I love the “the person you were trying to rescue was dead before you even started looking for them” trope

Elias eavesdropping on Tim’s tragic backstory and then immediately running downstairs to be like, “please god do not fuck this up for us”

And Tim says, “You will have to literally kill me to stop me from fucking this up.”

We better get some more info on Danny, I s2g

ngl, the floating away from the space station with nothing but your tether connecting you to anything sounds kinda awesome... the galaxy-spanning monster less so

Basira and Melanie gossiping about their coworkers

It be that old, “Yeah, sure. They died peacefully.” lie

Elias offering Melanie the rest of the day off after irreparably scarring her psyche akljdaskdsjd he really is that bitch

Gertrude did a lot of fucked up shit, but the most fucked up shit she ever did (imo) was putting Gerard in the book knowing how fucking awful it would be for him.

Imagine being a badass, goth, globe-trotting monster hunter and then you just fucking die of brain cancer in fucking Pittsburgh.

The scary Desolation cop statement is so good. It’s fucking chilling when the cop asks Ewing what he loves most in the world and he says his father. And it’s Johnny Sims doing both fucking voices!!!

But wait! It’s Trevor the Vampire Hunter, jumping out of the trunk w a steel chair!

We did the Seven Ages of Man monologue as my high-school theater initiation and Monologue gave me war flashbacks

Martin and Peter’s awkward smalltalk lol

Jon asking Trevor and Julia what they do for money is so funny. Pragmatic, nosy bitch.

Creature Feature good

GERRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Gerry’s last thoughts being that he wants his mom, and him using his last bit of strength to fucking stamp that thought down.... hghhhhhh

King of having boundaries! Hell no are you gonna help save the world when you’ve spent the last several years imprisoned in a fucking book!!!

The Keays are my favorite fucked up family <3

Gerry trying to run away and just being totally unprepared and bored by the normal world... gifted kid problems...

It took three and a half seasons, but we finally got that sweet, sweet rundown of the Entities.

Thrill of the Chase is very good, and also makes the very accurate point that true crime junkies are sociopaths

Adelard and Gertrude’s relationship is very intriguing

Tim and Jon.... could-have-been-something-but-now-hate-each-other is one of my favorite relationship dynamics

Love the fuckiness of “you’re not human anymore so I can trust that you haven’t been body-snatched” being a lowkey comforting vibe

The Stranger taking Gertrude and Leitner’s skins for the Unknowing... big money moves

Michael Salesea being a Leitner assistant that got away makes so much fucking sense lol

Helen talking to Jon bc talking to him made the real Helen feel better...

Melanie saying that she hopes Jon wins but she hopes that it hurts... Jesus take me now

Tim knowing it’s a suicide mission, Tim *wanting* a suicide mission. Tim wanting so badly to tell/show the Entities how much he fucking hates them and wanting to hurt. Tim hoping that Jon can pull the trigger. God.

Martin has such a fun time being a little agent of chaos

....until he doesn’t

Okay arguably no one knows what the fuck they’re doing during the Unknowing, but the subtext still gets me. Jon trusting Tim enough to hand him the detonator, even if he doesn’t remember exactly what it is. Daisy killing Hope after he pretends to be Basira. Basira trying to be the calming presence and Tim trying to fight.

The Gertrude and Leitner apparations aghhhhhhh

SMOKING KILLS!!!!!

Basira fucking THINKING her way out of the fucking UNKNOWING.... QUEEN SHIT!!!!

Jon using his powers to make Tim see things clearly again... Jon getting swept away and Tim being the only one who can do what needs to be done

The way Nikola says, “That’s not funny!” makes me wonder if Tim did some kind of clown microaggression.

But in all seriousness, yeah, of course it’s not funny! Tim gets his revenge, but he’s going to fucking die for it. Tim gets his revenge, but it won’t bring Danny (or Sasha) back. It might look like Tim gets to go out a hero w a cool one-liner, but he knows that it’s really just a stalling tactic, a grain of defiance against Entities that can’t ever truly been stopped.

Elias said I am going to tell Jon a spooky bedtime story to help him in his coma :)

I want some messy reunification in Season 4 goddamn

✶ honeysuckle, she’s full of poison. she obliterated everything she kissed.

welcome to camp fah yongwaree! wait, no you’re helena chantara! we heard you’re 21 years old, a demigod (daughter of ares), and you’re having a tough time with hubris but your special skills are enhanced physical prowess, strategic intelligence, telumkinesis & odikinesis.

✶ BASICS.

full name : helena natchaya chantara.

nicknames : lena, hell.

age : twenty - one years old.

gender & pronouns : cis woman, she/her.

orientation : bisexual.

birthplace : chiang mai, thailand.

current residence : camp halfblood.

✶ PERSONALITY.

positives : shrewd, tenacious, strategic, observant.

neutrals : ambitious, guarded, confident, calculated.

negatives : prideful, manipulative, pertinacious, machiavellian.

moral alignment : neutral evil.

myers-briggs type : entj — the commander.

hogwarts house : slytherin.

zodiac sign : leo sun, capricorn moon, scorpio rising.

✶ AFFILIATIONS.

father : ares, greek god of war, bloodlust & courage.

mother : baifern chantara, CEO of CTR industries, weapons manifacturing & technology conglomerate.

siblings : ares campers.

partner : n / a.

✶ BACKGROUND.

the chantara family has been growing CTR industries since before the industrial revolution, and while their belief system has been buddhism, they did believe there was a certain sacred, holy aspect to war. baifern chantara, helena’s mother, was never meant to be company’s leader. with two older siblings, she had free reign of her own future, but chose to spend it working in the R&D department. her brilliance for creating weapons was noted by the company, and her work spread across the world, gaining the attention of ares. an incredibly perceptive woman, baifern knew that when he approached her, there was something godly about it. though she could not put a name or title to him (and he never bothered to share), she recognized divinity, but it was his interest and praise of her work that caused her to fall in love with him.

ares left a month after helena was born, leaving her mother with cryptic instructions for the future and the blueprint for a weapon, only for his daughter to understand. the chantara family saw baifern and her daughter as blessed and favored, placing baifern as the head of the company. under her leadership, CTR industries grew twice it’s previous size. helena has always been a wunderkind, further proving her family’s belief. from a young age on, she had an inate, almost disturbing knowledge of weaponry and their various uses. she treated the kindergarten playground like a warground, fighting a battle with the other toddlers to determine who got to play on the swings. however, the more her interest and prowess grew, the stranger her life got.

on a visit to malaysia, helena and her friends, exploring the woods ran into what they had believed to be a pontianak (it was actually an empousa, which lena didn’t learn until later). she managed to get it away from her friends by provoking it into a fight (odd, considering the creature hadn’t been interested in that beforehand), and stole the celestial bronze leg to use it as a club, until the creature vaporized into a burst of yellow powder. though she lied to the police (lena had to explain the bruises & scratches she’d gained in the fight somehow!), she told her mother the truth, and not a few months later, baifern moved the two of them to a new CTR industries headquarter outside of philadelphia.

a few months after, after providing helena with the blueprints from her godly father and some vague comments about a summer camp for people like her, baifern dropped her daughter off at a place called camp halfblood (which seemed like an odd name to helena, but that was true for quite a lot of things in the united states, as she’d learned). going in blind to her godly parentage, she spent the first two weeks in complete disbelief. instead, she’d spent her time in the camp forge, a place of safety and recluse from all this insanity. during this time, she worked on the weapon her father had left blueprints behind for (it was totally hephaestus, right?). it was a marvelous creation, a set of celestial bronze, minoan labrys axes, that could fold into each other to create a heaver, stronger axe, and with the press of a single button, would turn transform into a small shield. during the game of capture the flag where she first used them, she was sure that hephaestus would claim her — only it was the symbol of ares floating above her head instead.

✶ ABOUT.

lena doesn’t really have an ‘ares’ vibe to her, she looks downright dainty sometimes (something about old money stuck up family). it bothered her at first, but she’s since seen the power in being underestimated.

really embodies the war aspect of ares but in like, weird ways. will strategize about who she sits next to during the camp singalong. treats capture the flag like she’s fighting the battle of marathon. considers someone cutting in front of her at the camp store as the highest form of treason.

very much was a popular girl in high school (but like. the troublesome kind. the kind that threatened and blackmailed her teachers. threw illegal parties in the school gym. you know the vibes)

can be VERY intense about small stuff

can be pretty arrogant but usually lives up to the hype she gives herself

closeted nerd

no seriously. she’s really smart and knows a LOT abt weird subjects. will wave it off and call you “stupid for not knowing that” if you press her on it

not necessarily mean, at least not without “provocation”, which is a loose term in her mind. sometimes that means someone genuinely antagonizing her. usually it means someone taking the last yoghurt or something

not necessarily NICE either

but there’s like maybe 5 people she genuinely cares about. will never tell them she loves them, but will absolutely jump in front of a monster for them

becomes a WHOLE different person in battle. her mind tends to go on ares overdrive and she’s the full on red haze ruthless calculating crazy ass stunt pulling type demigod. will nearly die and then when the battle is over go like “that was so fun. we should do that again sometime” AND MEAN IT TOO

bad at emotional stuff. like SO bad. will see someone crying and just awkwardly stare until they stop

works at her mother’s company, R&D department. hired a few demigods to work on secret celestial bronze applications and ways for halfbloods to better defend themselves against monsters. loves it but is also kind of bored with the ‘mundane’ life of it all. often offers herself to test whatever they came up with on monsters. lena can have a little fun. as a treat.

really loves being at camp and highkey thrives there too. again. won’t admit to it tho. she’ll just complain about the chores and stuff

#camphalfbloodintro #✶ ⠀ ABOUT ⠀﹕ ⠀ ❪ ⠀ helena ⠀ ❫#/ is there an intro tag pls lmk i'm bad at finding things #/ also this got away from me. i have too damn much to say #/ apologies in advance

Zuhara Bagem, a Rohingya asylum-seeker who arrived with his family in Indonesia's Aceh province at the end of November, was relieved when the boat was allowed to land at Bireuen beach.

"If he had stayed on that boat for another one or two days, my children would probably have died. We had not eaten anything for ten days," Zuhara told DW.

After disembarking, many asylum-seekers lay exhausted on the beach or sat with relief to again be on dry land.

Over the past few weeks, many boats overloaded with Rohingya people have been arriving off the coast of Indonesia's westernmost Aceh province on Sumatra island. While some of the boats have managed to land safely on the shore, many others were rejected.

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority who were mainly based in Myanmar's Rakhine province before hundreds of thousands fled military persecution in 2017 to neighboring Bangladesh. Most are accommodated in the sprawling refugee camps at Cox's Bazar on Bangladesh's southeastern coast.

However, due to dangerous and squalid living conditions at Cox's Bazar, many Rohingya have fled again by sea to nearby Muslim-majority countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

The asylum-seekers risk an 1,800-kilometer (1,120-mile) sea voyage to Aceh province, and locals have reported boats trying to land in remote districts like Bireuen, Sabang, Pidie and Aceh Besar.

Many of Aceh's residents tried to ward off the boats after giving them little food and water.

Earlier this week, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said that an estimated 400 Rohingya Muslims are believed to be aboard two damaged boats adrift without food or water in the Andaman Sea, according to reports in The Associated Press. The UN warned these people face death if nothing is done to provide them with supplies or organize a rescue.

Welcome for Rohingya wearing thin in Aceh

Although many Aceh residents initially accepted the Rohingya people, the onslaught of arrivals has increased tensions in the poor, remote province.

Some boats are repeatedly pushed back to sea, before finally being allowed to land after multiple attempts, according to local DW reporters.

Although the residents of Aceh share the same Islamic religious background, locals are concerned about the large number of arrivals.

Mauliadi, a villager in Bireuen, told DW that he hopes the Rohingya will go "back to their own country."

"I do not want them to move to other parts of Aceh. We hope that the local and central government can guard the sea, so that the Rohingya are not left unescorted," he said.

Most Rohingya do not have citizenship status in any country, making attempts at "repatriation"a convoluted and complicated process.

Local resident and member of the Aceh's local government, Iskandar Usman Alfarlaky, said that tensions between locals and the asylum-seekers have only risen recently.

"When the Rohingya first came to Aceh, there was no resistance from the locals. In fact, the people of Aceh accommodated them with shelter, provided food, drink, and all other necessities," he told DW.

"However, recently an increasing number of Rohingya have entered Aceh," he added.

"In previous cases, many Rohingya left the designated camps and ran away. Locals also reported negative behaviors, which collided with their social and environmental norms. This is a problem. It then triggers resistance from residents," Alfarlaky said.

Resources running out

According to Indonesian government data, there are currently 1,487 Rohingya asylum-seekers registered in Indonesia. The number is expected to increase as more continue to arrive.

At present, Rohingya arrivals are placed in temporary shelters in Aceh and Medan in North Sumatra province and Pekanbaru in Riau province.

These shelters, however, are well over capacity. Some of the migrants have already fled, with their whereabouts unknown.

Indonesia's coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs, Mahfud MD, told journalists this week that the government will find temporary shelters for the asylum-seekers.

He added that authorities will also coordinate with the coast guard to prevent more boats carrying Rohingya arrivals from entering Indonesian waters.

"What are you going to do with those who have already entered? We must use a humanitarian approach," he said, adding the Indonesian government will continue coordinating with the UNHCR on the matter.

He admitted that current shelters and the local Aceh government are overwhelmed by the influx.

What will come next?

Munawaratul Makhya, a UNHCR field officer in Aceh, said it is common for Rohingya boats to arrive on Aceh's shores in November and December.

"Indeed, the pattern is that it is always busy at the end of the year. There are many factors, especially the sea conditions," Makhya told DW.

She said the UNHCR and the local government are providing the arrivals with first aid, food, water and temporary shelter.

However, Makhya admitted that the continuous influx is beginning to test the tolerance of locals towards the Rohingya, which she said is generally high.

"People in Aceh experienced a lengthy conflict. Then there was a tsunami. So, life as a refugee is not something strange for the people of Aceh."

Local lawmaker Alfarlaky said he hopes that the central government will act immediately to deal with the situation before tensions rise further.

"Because of humanity, we [people of Aceh] are obliged to help. But the people here also have extremely limited capabilities to help, especially economically," he said.
