Okie I wanna make another one of those Medieval Fantasy AU comics cuz it's been a bit but idk what to do for the next one so. Taking advantage of the polls I'm letting y'all decide (since my intragram followers picked the last one)

We've got a few options, pick the one you'd like to see most imminently:

For Impulse Gets Cursed by Faes, there's a short post about this that stems from an ask from @harley-the-pancake (didn't know if you'd want to be tagged but wanted to give you credit for the conversation that spawned this idea in the first place, if you want to be untagged lmk), which is quite hilarious actually. This one would probably be somewhere between 10 and 15 pages

For Traveling adventurers sell Jimmy a cursed item, it gets a little bit into Jimmy's past and the state of the neighboring fae kingdom. Also it's an excuse for me to actually get Tango in this AU. This would probably be like 10-15, maybe more pages

For The Story of Kevin Bubbles, and enchanted dog Skizz found in the forest, this would be a short drabble about the previously unmentioned Kevin Bubbles, a magical AU version of Skizz's actual dog (I came up with this late last night cuz I thought it would be funny). This would probably be like 6 or 7 pages, maybe up to 10 but probably not more unless I get really carried away with it

Take ur picks and when the poll is done I'll get going on the next one of these. Enjoy :D

Reactions to Deal Maker's Chapter 203

TL;DR - Ahn Roh Man tells more of his parents and the game. Alberu feels strange when he sees Ahn Roh Man smiling brightly like him. Alberu becomes the Roan Kingdom's first player of the game. Cale has to give a speech in the academy.

RMPAG We got to know more about the game and Ahn Roh Man's family. His parents suddenly died in an accident when he was 10, so he was then raised by his uncle and aunt, somewhat becoming part of the Transparent family.

He only figured out the truth behind his parents when he played the game. His parents hid an AI in the game, and the Transparent Co was unaware of it. The AI became Ahn Roh Man's friend and hyung (because it was born a year earlier than him), and helped him attain number 1 in the rankings.

There was also the fact that his initial username was "Unfilial Son" before he changed it to "Searching for the Taerang Thief Bastard."

Oh yeah, Ahn Roh Man called the game as RMPAG, which is the abbreviation of Raising My Precious Absolute God.

Alberu and Ahn Roh Man Funny part of today's chapter. Ahn Roh Man had a bright smile when he told the two that he had a very friendly relationship with the Transparent family. Raon remarked that he had the same smile when Alberu was about to scam someone.

And Alberu's reaction. It was shock. He was shocked to meet someone of the same kind as him. 🤣🤣🤣

Gamer Alberu Ahn Roh Man suggested to install the game in Taerang and have someone play it. Cale and Alberu began pushing the task to each other... 😂

Alberu: … Cale. Cale: Yes, hyung-nim. Alberu: Do you want to borrow Taerang? Cale: I have to go to Aipotu and work hard? Alberu: …I'm busy too? Cale: Thanks to you, I can go out and save the world without worrying about Roan! Hyung-nim, I respect you! Alberu: … *covers face with both hands* Ahn Roh Man (ARM): Don't worry, Me and my hyung, I mean, the AI from earlier. Anyway, we'll carry you. Alberu: …Carry? ARM: It means to help you become stronger easily. Alberu: … Haa…. This is driving me crazy. Cale: Hyung-nim, I believe in you. Alberu: Ha. Let's give it a try.

What was so funny was the narrator's words after that scene. Alberu became the first player of the game in the Roan Kingdom. And his username? Irreverent Emperor... 🤣🤣🤣

It could also mean disrespectful or blasphemous, but irreverent sounds cooler, so I used it. But Alberu calling himself 'emperor'? Is he planning to turn the Roan Kingdom into an empire?

But that did not stop there. The narrator continued that Cale would never have dreamed of the chaos this player would create in the future... 😂 Ahn Roh Man, what are you planning to teach Alberu? Is Alberu going to be like you in the future, shouting hyunpi and game terms? 🤣🤣🤣

Cale's Speech But our overworked Alberu got his revenge on Cale for forcing him to play the game... by making Cale give the speech in the academy's opening ceremony. 🤣🤣🤣

Of course, the 3 kids were excited to hear Cale's speech, and Cale could only frown when he realized Alberu's intention. 😂

Ending Remarks Today had a lot of funny moments. It ended with a message from GoD saying that Cale's request to move the black castle (where Sherrit lived) to Aipotu had been approved. Woah. So it's going to be a dragon lord versus a dragon lord fight? How exciting!

I still harbor some disappointment with the recent chapter. We still have no news of what happened to CJS or Sui, and Cale's conversation with Ron seemed to have been forgotten again. 😞Author-nim, even a mention of them would have been enough! PLEASE DON'T FORGET THEM!

Question If Camp Camp (Once the show gets picked up for season 5 again) hired you as a guest writer, and you got to write like a few episodes max, what would you write about?

OHHHH THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION !! i would definitely write more episodes involving the other camp leaders like pikeman and sasha !!! i actually had a idea where max sasha and pikeman swap and they have to complete a task with different people (sasha with the woodscouts, max with the flowerscouts and pikeman with camp campbell kids)

plot would involve some sort of camp competition similar to the camporee another episode id love to see from s5 would be a nikki focus one , because WHY WAS SHE SOOO WEIRD IN EPISODE 1 ?!?! I DONT GET IT it isn't just from max's peer pressure to not change SOMETHING IS UP WHY IS SHE ACTING SO WEIRD !! now that i think about it , i mostly just want more episodes focusing on the girls </3 I'm in desprate need of a new ered episode , or a sasha tabii and erin adventure OH ANOTHER IDEA I HAD WAS A FUCKING METAL GEAR SOLID EPISODE since snake is literally a metal gear reference , wouldn't it be funny if billy had a secret british twin brother called jimmy and they both had a older brother called timmy and it was all a parallel to solid/liquid snake as well as the big boss i also just want to see max do some gymnastics... doesn't have to be the focus of the episode. ACTUALLY SCRACTH THAT - CIRCLE BACK TO THE LEADER SWAP EPISODE MAX AND THE FLOWERSCOUTS AND SOME GYMNASTICS ARE INVOLVED W AN ACTIVITY THEYRE DOING GOD IM A GENIUS !!!!!!!!!! i also want another harrison episode. i love how in s4 the campers told him the illusionist shtick is getting old so now he's into conceptual magic. we need a conceptual magic episode where everyone looses their grip on reality and they go insane. actually no , harrison and the other campers would target cj and David , playing tricks on them and making them loose their sanity and then gwen tells the kids to knock it off. love that. also this is more of a theory than an episode idea but.. QM saying one of them wont leave this summer alive ? and cj and David are shown on frame ? we know David wont die because main character duh , but cj ..... cameron shows up , something happens and cameron kills cj I'm CALLING IT ( i cant really call anything anymore can i ? the show is dead for the foreseeable future. sigh... ) I ALSO WANT ANOTHER NERRIS ADVENTURE !! nerris !! more nerris !! i have no ideas for nerris but !! possible nerris and flowerscouts friendship being formed please !! I JUST WANT MORE OF THE OTHER CAMPS TO BE INVOLVEDDDD

News Article Analysis (Q!Jaiden theory)

Since the News Article was posted, there has been a lot of speculation on the title of Q!Jaidens section. The “When I don’t remember you…” sentence could have been a direct reference to the Adventure Time song “Remember You.”.

A first look at it made many think that it was Q!Jaiden or Cucurucho saying this line, and it could be a link to the CaretakerJaiden theory or the Project BlueBird theory. I personally think it could be interpreted either way and it could help hint at the possible lore to come for Q!Jaiden.

 If we are taking the PBB theory route for this song, then the line “When I don’t remember you” could go for both Cucurucho and Jaiden, but more so for Cucurucho. Cucurucho was theorized to be rebooted and often times would lose their memories of events on numerous occasions. Knowing there are two Cucurchos, we could guess that the Cucurucho that is fond of Jaiden was reset whenever an imperfection would occur in order to avoid him becoming more like Osito Bimbo (the silly Cucurucho). I think that Osito Bimbo was a sort of failed Cucurucho that would only carry out minimal tasks as a test of their behavior. (Ex. BBH’s question.)

The line “forgive me for whatever I do... when I don’t remember you.” can be interpreted as Cucurcho's fear of hurting Jaiden due to the programming or orders given to him by the Federation. If we take into account Cucurchos’s words, “Years ago you helped us. Me.” We know that Jaiden had some part in helping Cucurucho, whether directly or indirectly. In the Federation's eyes, life is expandable and can be replaced or perfected. By meeting Jaiden, Cucurchos may have developed a better understanding of the importance of life. He developed emotions that the Federation had not warranted but allowed because they ended up making him “perfect”. If we read throughout the lyrics of Remember You in the mindset of Cucurucho saying this, things start to click a bit for the PBB theory. He was a caretaker/teacher and was scared to hurt the person who brought him happiness in the bleak walls of the Federation. 

—

If we read the title as a hint at the Caretaker Jaiden theory, then the roles would be reversed, but with a twist added in. 

In the CJ theory, Jaiden was the one who created the Cucurucho worker(s) and helped shape them into the perfect workers the Federation wants. A small thing I saw floating around was that in attempts to create more Cucurucho’s workers, the Federation created the code, then promptly neglected or lost it. It is an interesting thing to note. 

If we look at the title, “When I don’t remember you...” It is a bittersweet sentence that links to Jaiden's memory loss. She doesn’t remember working with or for the Federation at any time before the island. She also doesn’t remember creating the Cucurucho’s before the island either, yet she is still fond of both of them because they were the creations that she worked on. 

Then, if we look into Cucurucho's words, “Years ago you helped us. Me”. It could have a hidden meaning in that Cucurucho was finally perfected in some way by Jaiden. She could have helped him get better in the past, and that is why he didn’t turn out in a chair like Osito Bimbo. 

Final thoughts: 

Either way, this title could hint at any of the theories. It is assumed that Jaiden will help “correct” Osito Bimbo’s behavior or potentially (and this is a stretch) fix the code. She helped the Federation YEARS ago. And while the theory of time going quicker hangs around, I don’t think it applies in this case. The years ago implies that she was once a worker similar to Cucurcho or Walter Bob (if not higher up), and she did more than just tasks. She helped Cucurucho, but with what will be unclear until the next stream. 

With that said, let’s all add another day of people not realizing Jaiden is in the Federation building. ;-; (No, she was not kidnapped; she went willingly but also cautiously. I will take criticism on anything else I’ve said besides this lol) 

Anyway, thank you for reading!!

Times where Jason’s character could have been expanded properly let’s goooo

In MOA, when he didn’t want to save Nico (child soldier must complete the task mentality)

when he got glasses (how come no one realised he needed glasses before)

when no one in CJ looked for him

when he was sent off to regular school (he’s been in the military his entire life??? And was looked after by wolves????)

when he died

[etirabys]

I was talking to spouse about burnout yesterday and he said his usual thing that my standards are insane (I disagree, I think I have normal standards but these are possibly unreasonable for such a person who is as tired as I am) and I articulated that it's really hard to stop pushing myself when no one else around will do it.

I'm not saying it's anyone else's job. What I mean is that, when I talk about my workload and task management, pretty much everyone feels comfortable saying "wow that's a lot, you should go easier on yourself" and almost no one feels okay saying "yeah you're being kind of a wimp about this, you need to step it up".

One could put this in terms of validation: I rarely have it validated that I'm not working hard enough, even when sometimes this is just true.

(One thing I like about partner CJ is that he will casually tease me for being lazy or unproductive in a non-mean, light-hearted way.)

When I am the only voice saying one half of two opposing things that are both true (I'm too hard on myself; I'm not hard enough), it feels difficult and dangerous to stop saying it. If I were in an environment where people felt free to tell me I wasn't doing enough – although, to be clear, most instances of this environment would be bad for me – I would be more willing to step down my rate of 'pushing' thoughts, since I'm not responsible for 100% of how much I am pushed.

Krs whump

Krs's uncle who got recruited by the hunters was tasked with the job of keeping the anomaly (krs) under control so that he doesn't get in their way in the future as Cale and they rather want him to be subservient to them.  

This krs ran away from his uncle when he had had enough of his uncle and his abuse ( lies, he was just scared that he was going to die that day. His uncle came smelling of alcohol that day and the man being drunk never meant good for krs. The child flinched when the keys jingled outside of the door, trying to find the keyhole- no doubt fumbling bcoz he was drunk and then there was angry yelling and it terrified krs. He had an inkling that if he hadn't run away that day, he wouldn't be here drinking with his hyungs)  and was living his best life with his team. The monsters still attacked everyone and the world was thrown into chaos but he was the happiest he had ever been. 

One night, there was a knock on his door. Usually krs wasn't one to open the door at night but he was used to cjs coming at his house at the oddest time and he ended up opening the door on autopilot, still half asleep.  His hand froze on the doorknob when he found him standing in front of his door instead of cjs. His heart seemed to drop to his stomach and all he could do was stare blankly, hiding his trembling hand behind himself while his uncle stared down maliciously at him. 

For a split second he contemplated running back inside, to call his team leader nim, cjs or anyone really- anyone who could save him from this monster but his legs refused to move. It was as if his muscles had been locked into place and all he could do was stand there like a lamb ready to be slaughtered. 

He was quick. It didn't take long for deft fingers to clench around his neck. He crowded krs against the wall, whispering how fragile his neck looked, how easy it would be to snap it in two, how funny it would be to see krs choking to death. He seemed extremely amused with the way krs trembled yet his face remained as expressionless as ever.

That brought a strange, hungry gleam in his uncle's eyes and he realized he had managed to doom himself yet again. He was barely given any time to process anything when his uncle lugged him out of the door, leaving it open for anyone to raid his house or just too unbothered to close it. Krs doesn't know how he didnt realize his uncle awakened. He was sure that the man had died in the cataclysm. 

"Are you saddened to find your uncle alive, Rok Soo-yah?" fingers grabbed his face harshly, forcing him to face the older man. He remained quiet. He knew all too well that the man didn't like him talking. 

Slap!

"Answer me. Answer your uncle Rok Soo- yah" His hair was being pulled after that but krs felt too dazed to register the pain slowly spreading all over his scalp. 

"You have grown too cocky after being left alone for so long. Clearly you need to be reminded of your place-"

Krs stopped listening. He knew he was fucked. He could see the moonlight glinting off the knife his uncle had hidden in the car. If he dared to anger the man any further, he might end up getting stabbed. Will he finally be dead for good? Would his hyungs mourn him if he died? Would anyone care? 

After all, why should anyone care for an emotionless bastard like him? It didn't matter if he lived or died. He didn't have any useful abilities either except his slightly sharper memory. Their company won't waste their precious resources in trying to rescue him. Perhaps, in another life, if he hadn't been so useless, would he have been rescued? 

That was the last thought krs had before he was knocked out and thrown into the basement of an abandoned house.

—-----

Drip

Drip

Water continuously dripped from the roof. The pipeline seemed to be broken. The sound was driving him insane but that was also the only thing keeping his sanity in check. Without it, there was nothing to distract him from his injuries and the dull ache in his muscles. Everything had turned numb. This was a lot better than the deafening silence he had grown used to for the past few days? weeks?- at the very least. 

Ah, look at him being hypocritical now. How often did he tell cjs to shut up because he was noisy? Why did he crave this silence back then? 

Cough-!!

Krs coughed out a large chunk of blood. His chest heaved up and down as he struggled to breathe, each movement sending sharp bouts of pain across his body. One of his ribs seemed to be broken too. Countless other bruises throbbed but he couldn't feel anything except a dull ache- his body too numb, too broken to register the pain. Has he always been like this? He couldn't seem to remember how he dealt with the aftermath of his uncle's drinking habit. 

Few weeks ago, he wouldn't have even remembered his uncle but after spending all this time in the basement with him had refreshed his memories. When he was being tortured, he chose to retreat into his mind, far away from the monster who called himself his uncle but after some days, that became useless too. Memories from his childhood, starring his uncle plagued his mind and he found no respite. It had become a cycle. 

His uncle would come and play with him. 

Krs would retreat within the recesses of his mind. 

His uncle would continue to torture both his body and mind and then leave him to stew in his nightmares. 

He would get a few scraps of food so that he doesn't die so easily.

Later, the entire night was spent toeing the line between consciousness and unconsciousness. 

And then repeat. 

This had become his life ever since his uncle kidnapped him. He didn't know what the man did with his body when he wasn't mentally present here but it seemed his unresponsiveness had particularly angered the man last night. The whip marks down his back smarted as he tried to shift, to relieve some pressure of his broken legs but that just ended up opening other wounds. 

His memory was blurry but he remembered his uncle promising something "special" for the next time and the thought turned his heart to stone. What more could he possibly do? What hadn't he already done to krs? Krs felt that the man would be disappointed again tomorrow for krs was already broken, there was nothing more to break anymore and his uncle was on a failed mission if he wanted to get a response out of him. 

With that thought, he drifted off to a restless sleep.

–

Contrary to his beliefs, his uncle didn't bring anything special to torture him with. Krs had barely glanced at him for a moment before quickly putting his head down- unwilling to gaze at the revolting man. He was sure he could take it. No new instruments meant he would use the old ones and krs was dearly familiar with them already. What could possibly go wrong? 

"Did you ever think how I got my hands on you?" his uncle asked lightly, as if they were taking a walk in the park. 

Drip

"Do you wonder why no one came for you?"

Drip

"Oh? You already seem to know how worthless you are. Interesting"

Krs flinched at the response and lifted up his head to glare at the man and promptly froze. Wha- what was this?

Lsh's face smiled condescendingly down at him. 

"My, this expression looks good on you, nephew" 

Krs's pupil shook as he stared at the man in front of him. Hyung? His hyung was here? Why was he smiling like that? Why wasn't he rescuing krs? Did he want to hurt him too? 

The man smiled again and krs flinched. It wasn't his hyung. It couldn't be his hyung. He had never seen such a disgusting expression on his hyung's face and knew it wasn't him. And he still sounded like his despicable uncle. 

His uncle frowned when krs's eyes cleared up and he clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

"Tsk, I forgot about the voice." 

And surely, the next time he spoke, it sounded exactly the same as his hyung.  

Krs's mind grew chaotic as his hyung's husky voice washed over him. He trembled when the man came close and caressed his cheek- the same way like he always had. The only difference was that krs wasn't usually tied up and bleeding from 10 different places while lsh stared at him in equal parts fascination and disgust. 

Horror crept up his spine and ice flooded his veins when he realized his uncle's schemes. He was unable to tear his gaze away as the repulsive man wearing his hyung's face came closer and closer, whispering about how he was going to ruin krs, how he would have krs begging for death soon, how dare krs live when he ruined so many lives just by existing. 

Krs would have ignored him, as usual, but he couldnt ignore his hyung. He couldnt ignore the warm voice which would usually be laced with exasperation as his hyung tried to scold him and cjs for their latest shenanigans. He could hardly take his eyes off hyung. 

The eyes which used to look at him with so much love, so much adoration held so much contempt, disgust for him that it shocked him into stillness. He wasnt used to those warm, gentle eyes gazing at him like that. He wasnt used to his hyung gazing at him like that.

Krs wondered how could a person feel so different when they had the same face. Everything was same, yet so different. Lsh's usually reliable figure and gentle demeanour didnt feel safe or reassuring at all today. With every step he took, krs felt a closer to death. 

With a icy chill, krs realized that he isnt going to come out unscathed or alive when his hyung uncle was done with him today.

The Summer it Came True

Previous chapter & summary

Next chapter

Chapter 2

Pairing: Bangchan × black female reader named Kel

Word Count: 1489

I had to do some research for this since I don't live in Australia and it was interesting finding out that summer in Australia starts in December.

More under the cut!

You were in your beach home alone during summer, stuck at your desk working from dusk till dawn. Pathetic.

But you couldn't stop working. You had to create designs for a new collection the company was going to launch early next year, and nothing you drew seemed to be what you envisioned. The creative juices weren't flowing for some reason, but it was December, and you had to have designs ready by the end of the month.

You stayed in your mini office all day, tearing up papers, crumpling them up into balls, and eventually throwing them away. Why couldn't you get it right? You decided to call the one friend you had, which was CJ, for advice. Yes, CJ, the supermodel who was always on the cover of vogue magazines.

You guys got close after he was hired to style one of your collections, and it turns out you were the same age and had a lot in common. You instantly hit it off, and you've been kind of inseparable ever since.

The phone rang, but no one answered, which was kind of expected since it was summer and he'd be getting gigs left and right. He was probably getting on a plane leaving Australia as we speak.

You put on a hoodie and a face mask and decided to go out for a drive to clear my head (you didn't want to get approached by a rando on the street asking if they could get free clothes), and that was when you saw the building that made you remember him. The stadium he was going to perform in in a few weeks was just a few minutes' drive from your beach house. How convenient.

You wanted to see him again. You wanted to see him again and ask him why he left for years without letting you know.

You wanted to know why he was the reason you were never happy in any of your attempted relationships. Part of you hated him for it, but another part wanted to see him and embrace him in a tight hug. You missed him.

As you were driving, you decided to stop by a few stores to get a few things, so you found yourself in this mini mart getting Lays chips. It was just you and the cashier in there, which was reasonable since it was almost midnight.

Out of the corner of your eye, you saw someone else enter the store. This person was dressed in all black. Black hoodie, black shorts, black shoes and socks, black hat, and even a black face mask. You were kind of twinning, but at least you had some colour on you and didn't look like you were going to pull out a gun out of your back pocket at any moment.

That was honestly kind of scary to you because why would someone dressed as a black ops agent be wandering around at this time of the night.

You decided it was time for you to get going so you turned the other way to avoid bumping into black ops guy but you probably didn't think before you acted or even look properly to see where they were in the store and before you could make any sudden movements you bumped into something hard and your chips were scattered across the floor.

"I'm so sorry, let me help you." The person dressed in all black said to you.

Oh, so it was a guy... Why did his voice kind of sound familiar? He kind of sounded like- no, it can't be, there's no way. You quickly brushed those stupid thoughts out of your head.

"No, don't be. I was the one who wasn't looking where I was going. I should be the one saying sorry." You replied.

As you bent down to pick up your multiple bags of chips, he bent down along with you to help, and all it took was a brief moment for your eyes to meet for all chaos to ensue.

"Kel?" He said with a shocked look on his face. It was HIM. He was the only one who called you Kel. Other people called you Kelly. He started calling you after your forced playdate at the beach. He said Kelly was too tasking of a name to say all the time, and anytime you saw each other after that, it was always "Hi Kel." You acted like you hated it, but you never wanted him to stop calling you that. What was he doing here? And why now?

"CHAN?!"

You said at the top of your lungs, and he quickly made the "shh" sign with his index finger. Boy, it was only the two of us in this store, and you're shushing me for what? You said to yourself.

"Why- What are you doing here?" You stumbled over my words a bit.

"You don't seem too happy to see me after how long has it been exactly? Thirteen years?" He had now pulled down his mask so you could see his face. God, he was beautiful.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I was supposed to jump in your arms after you left without a trace for thirteen years." You snapped back.

He looked kind of hurt after you said that, and you yourself didn't know where your sudden vocal confidence was coming from because you were shaking like a wet dog under your hoodie.

"When you put it that way... It was honestly kind of an ass move. I'm sorry, but in my defence, I signed a contract. I wasn't allowed to let anyone except my family know that I was leaving." He defended himself.

You had now both gotten up from the floor of the store, and the fallen bags of chips were long forgotten as you engaged each other in conversation.

"The K-pop industry is really secretive, isn't it?" The sentence had already left my mouth before you could realise what you had just said.

"Yes, it is... Wait, how did you know?" Great, now you looked like a maniacal stalker who was keeping tabs on him for the past thirteen years.

"I saw you on TV last month when you announced your tour with your group. I was shocked, to say the least. And why are you shocked that I know who you are? Isn't that like the whole point of being a celebrity?"

He stood there in silence watching you speak with a cocked eyebrow like you were saying things that made absolutely no sense.

"What?" You asked him. The expression on his face made you question if you were saying proper sentences or just yapping nonsense the whole time.

"Nothing, you just look so different. I would have barely recognised you if it wasn't for mini Kel."

"Mini Kel." You chucked a bit at the name. You hadn't heard that in ages. That was what he called the mole you had on the outer corner of your right eye. You always hated that mole and planned to remove it when you got older, but after he gave it that nickname, it was one of the things you loved most about my facial features.

"Are you two buying anything? I have to lock up shop. It's past midnight." The cashier's loud voice knocked you out of your little daydream, and you suddenly remembered your poor little chip bags that were sprawled on the floor.

"Oh yes, I am. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let me just pick these up from the floor." You picked up your chips and made your way to the pay point. Chan met you there with a canned drink in his hand and you both paid for your stuff and left the building.

As you got outside, it felt weird you guys just going our separate ways after our little reunion, so you decided to strike up a conversation even though all you wanted to do was get into your car and scream.

"So what brings you here if tour doesn't start till next year?" You asked the burning question in your mind.

"The boys and I were all given individual breaks to go spend summer and Christmas with our families before we start travelling around the world." He explained to you.

You didn't end up talking for that long, but the conversation ended with you guys exchanging numbers, and as you were saving his number, you saw that you still had his old number saved. You were really down bad for this man to still have his number saved after 13 years of him being Μ.Ι.Α.

You parted ways, and you drove home that night, smiling to yourself. You still had feelings for this man after 13 years. How did this make any sense?

You didn't know the journey you were in for over the course of the next few weeks.

Are you a night owl or a morning bird?

“These are ridiculous Ceteri phrases that make no sense. But my answer is neither, or both. You decide how to interpret it. I have devised a daily potion that allows me to properly function on a mere five hours of sleep, rather than the eight most people need. I'm up early and late. Now, if only I can get my team to help find a way to eliminate sleep altogether...”

Who is the person you hate the most? Why?

“Atsila McLain would be such an easy answer. And I can tell you want me to say her. But no. She was merely annoying. I try to avoid thinking about her Aequales as long as I can. She thought of us as nemeses, but it was one-sided on her part. But maybe if she stopped trying to take what was rightfully mine, I would stop. She never experienced anything I did. And in the name of peace? She was an awful person. It was a relief when I killed her.”

#3- Atsila

What are your biggest pet peeves?

“Oh, spirits, I hate when people aren't doing what they're supposed to do at the speed they should do it. I mean, how hard is it to adhere to a schedule and complete your tasks in an efficient manner? I don't understand it! I tell people to do something, and they don't do it! Or, they do it in the least efficient way I've ever seen. Even something as simple as walking. Walk diagonally to get somewhere faster. No need to stay on a certain path. But no it seems like every other person here is staying on the path.”

Who is the person you look up to the most?

“I don't look up to anyone. Literally, I suppose, everyone--I am rather short. Figuratively, no one. I suppose Carmen is rather efficient. And organized. She's highly intelligent and... She listens to me. I admire her loyalty and companionship.”

Do you have any major fears?

“Absolutely not. [Pause] I suppose boredom. Mediocrity.” if I may add - it's because she's terrified at the state she'll be in if something isn't going on Right Now

#4- Xitlali

Do you have any allergies?

“I think this is a personal question. I mean, what kinda questionnaire is it? Would rather not answer it. But ekaberries. I break out in hives if I eat it.”

How many people have you kissed?

“Not as many as I'd like, but I'm only twelve, so I'll probably kiss a few girls before long.”

What is your favorite number?

“My favorite number is 63. I find it incredibly satisfying knowing it's divisible by 7. 91 is a close contender for the same reason.”

I feel like this is all of the prominent TSP characters I feel need to answer these questions. Next time I'm tagged will begin the repeats.

Hi Sleepy!! Do you by chance have any tips for studying for a test with ADHD? I've been trying to study all day but I've gotten next to nothing done :c

I do actually!

Well... at least I do based on how I study... here are some of them!

1- I really love to study with friends because they can keep me on track! Either we go through the content together or we take turns teaching each other.

2- I like to separate up tasks (in this case it would be things like: go through the study guide, relearn what ___ is, etc etc) and then rank them in terms of important or what order I should go in. Then I write down time slots (often ill do 30 min study, 10 min break, but whatever works best for you!) and then before I start my slot of 30 min study I'll pick a couple of those tasks I want to get done in that time. That usually works pretty well for me...

3- Recently I've been doing my notes right before the test. A couple of nights before I comb through literally all of the content that's going to be on the test and write down every definition, equation or thing I need to remember. Then usually I remember it okay! And also I'm able to refresh my memory right before the test by looking at the sheet. (This one does involve staying up hella late sometimes tho...)

4- Create fun little tricks to help remember stuff!! When I was doing AP Psych, for example, I had to memorize all of the different chemicals in the brain like serotonin and dopamine. I created little characters for them. I still remember some of them. Like Serotonin (or Sero for sort) is moody and has a good memory (because Serotonin helps with that- moods and memory). Or for one of my most recent tests I used "AP CJ" - like an AP class about Casey Jones to remember the first letter for different parts of a digitalized customer journey!

Those are just what I do though! Some general stuff I also use is:

1- Reward myself! It can be food, or a walk. Recently I got a bunch of Cars stickers and I give myself those. I used to write down all my tasks on postit notes and then the reward was ripping up the postit note at the end haha.

2- Take breaks. ... oh my gosh please take breaks. I study so much worse without breaks.

3- Go to bed on time!!! (Yes I know how this sounds coming from me. But sleep improves memory, and we, as people with adhd already struggle with that. No sleep makes it so much worse- and then you can't remember anything the day of the test...)

GOOD LUCK!!!! <3 <3 <3

Girl (CJ) meets Ghost (Arthur)

Short info: Arthur followed CJ home in a cat’s body bc he can see her in purgatory— another human he encountered so far after nearly 70 years :)

Arthur died at the age of 14 and woke up not knowing where to go, yet he was sure he was tasked to do something but he couldn’t remember

CJ is a 13 yr old middle schooler who has been applying part time jobs because she feels like she needed to repay her adoptive family the expenses they spent on her care…even though they kept saying they love her unconditionally (the girl has anxiety and trust issues mkay, leave her be)

Reactions to the Mistaken One's Chapter 158

TL;DR - Excited Soos trio. Treasure hunt. Treasure was Dragon Tears of a deceased dragon from Aipotu. Future and present attributes.

Soos? LSH = ✅ CJS = ✅

Excited Soos Trio Today's chapter blessed us with lots of Soos. Cale and CJS were very excited about finding treasure. And there was the touching moment when LSH and CH sent Cale and CJS first because they wanted the latter two to spend time together. 🥰

There was also a funny part when the Molans left to brew some tea. Cale quickly requested to make it a little sweet... 😂 His trauma of Ron's lemon tea is really 🤣🤣🤣

Treasure Hunt CJS was really excited to find treasure that he took the lead. But he and Raon were both disappointed when there was nothing! It was just a small cave with nothing in it! 😞

Dragon Tears and Dragon Attributes And there was the big twist today. The Sichuan governor said that his ancestors were tasked to guard this place which was the tomb of a dragon. And that dragon was said to have come from Aipotu (the world where dragons are hunters), and died here in Central Plains.

Some more surprising facts. That Aipotu dragon was also a black dragon, and left something here for its descendants. That dragon had the Future attribute, and thus foresaw the future where another black dragon with the Present attribute would come here.

As you all know, when dragons die, their bodies disappear because they return to nature. This Aipotu dragon left behind Dragon Tears as its last traces. And it was what the Water AP, and also the Shield AP, had sensed.

Ending Remarks The ending part came out of nowhere. But I'm excited that we're finally going to know more about Raon's attribute! Aaaaah... Why is tomorrow Thursday? I want it to be Friday already!
